Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer Love Hewitt, known by her friends and family by her middle name, transitioned from a peppy child star to doe-eyed teen queen to sexy small-screen staple without ever leaving a gap in her resume. She started taking dance and vocal lessons as a toddler, toured Russia at 9 as part of a dance troupe, and spent a few seasons on "Kids Incorporated." She played Sarah Reeves on the teen hit "Party Of Five," which lead to the opportunity to star in teen-centric films like "Can't Hardly Wait" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and a PO5 Reeves-focused spinoff, "Time Of Your Life." After it fizzled, she bounced around doing voice work, TV movies and the occasional mildly successful film like "The Tuxedo" (2002) and two Garfield adaptations (2004, 2006) while concentrating on her music career. When her most popular CD Barenaked peaked at only No. 37 in the U.S back to TV she went. The "Hot In Cleveland" guest star was "The Ghost Whisperer" from 2005-2010 and her role as a a mom who turns to prostitution to support her family in "The Client List" was expanded from the 2010 TV movie to Lifetime series in 2012. Using her on-screen and real-life romantic experiences (John Mayer, Jaime Kennedy, director John Asher, actor/director Alex Beh, and ex-fiancee Ross McCall), she authored an advice tome in 2010 called The Day I Shot Cupid. She met Brian Hallisay on "List" and, while she was pregnant with their daughter Autumn (b. Nov. 2013), they secretly wed.

Tuesday, April 17, 2016, Motorola, a company acquired by Lenovo introduced the world to not one, not two but three Moto G phones. The Moto G phones have been named as the Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus and the Moto G4 Play. The phones launched by the Lenovo acquired company are the successors to the last years famous Moto G3. Every phone in the market offers something. Each phone excels in certain places and lacks the advantages in other but what lies within the brand new 4th Generation Motorola. Let's break down the phone to its core elements and trace out what does it offer in this in depth review. This marks as in depth review of both, the Moto G4 and the Plus model.
The G series has been symbolized as the budget series in the past making compromises to provide the best package in the least of price. The previous models succeeded in their task and were hailed as successful. Will the new ones stay true to the purpose or will they wither away. Let's find out.
Looking at the phone from a distance, the phone now feels a bit flatter than the previous versions. The camera protrudes out a little and has a metal ring covering the camera. The phone feels as an overhaul to the previous Motorola design and is a rendition by Lenovo to the Moto G3. The Moto G4 opts to keep hold of the rubbery back which fits right into your hands. The smooth plastic back panels are removable and come in different colors which can be chosen via the Moto Maker. The phone although is plastic all around but feels a very premium right out of the box. The Moto G4 Plus shares exactly the same quality as the other which concludes that both phones differ internally. The Moto G4 Plus can be a dual Sim variant which would makes its way into the hands through the Moto Maker. The phone has an isolated headphone jack at the top and has a microUSB port at the bottom.
The Moto G4 Plus has the dimensions of 153*76.6*9.8 all in millimeters. The 4th Generation Moto devices are definitely not the slimmest smartphones in the market but provide with a comfortable feel in the hand. Moto G4 plus supports a microSIM card and shares the same hardware with the other model (Moto G4).
The predecessors of the G4 provided support for an HD screen.The display is definitely a bump from the previous HD screen to now full-HD resolution. This upgrade symbolizes both Moto G4 and the Plus model to be first phones in the Moto line to support a full-HD screen. The screen is a massive 5.5 inches making the budget phone stand out with a pixel density of 401 ppi. The screen is half inch more than the previous phone in the line and a full inch larger than the original Moto G which stated the series. The Lenovo Moto G4 has an IPS LCD screen which accounts for a colder display when compared with the AMOLED technology. The screen looks vibrant and is never too gimicky. It remains protected by the powerful Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The videos played on this device provide with a real time experience and are color accurate. The screen is not the best you can find in the market but with a price cut this short for this device, this is definitely the best you'll get.
The Moto G4 shares all of the display qualities of the Moto G4 Plus. This makes the plus model seems a bit ludicrous and different than all the other Plus models proposed by other companies like the iPhone 6s Plus. The G4 has the same screen with the same 71.2 % of screen-to-body ratio. The display installed on both these devices is both tactile and responsive.
Looking at the spec sheet, we find that the Lenovo Moto G4 runs on a 1.5 GHz Octacore Snapdragon 617 processor which is worthy upgrade from the previous handset. It backs up an Adreno 405 GPU chip which would take on all of the games and image processing data quite efficiently. The phone comes in two basic variants based on the RAM installed. The phone either comes in with 2 or 4 GBs of RAM. We believe that although 2 GB RAM is quite sufficient for most of the users but the people who rely on multitasking must opt for a 4 GB model for a seamless and lag free performance. When it comes to storage, the phone gives the choice to pick up either a 16, 32 or 64 GB model based on your storage preferences. The price shift from the basic model to a 64 model is not that significant making the 64 GB Moto G4 the better choice in the long run. The phone has a 13 MP camera on its back. Considering the price range of the device and pondering on what this device has to device, the camera you get is pretty pristine. The 5 MP provides a nice selfie experience going easy on your pocket. Moving towards the battery, the Moto G4 mounts a 3000 mAh battery. The phone will be able to pass a complete day without any problems faced. The phone might run out of battery just close to the end of the day at extreme usage. The perks of having a Moto G4 include fast charging.
The Moto G4 Plus shares the same display specs as of the Moto G4. The Plus does not give us a Plus in the chipset as both of the models equip a similar Snapdragon 617 Octacore 1.5 GHz chipset and the Graphics Processing Unit (Adreno 405). The phone also comes in with two or four GBs of RAM and the same storage variety as mentioned for the other phone. The Plus gives you internal storage plus a microSD card support up to 128 GBs. The real deal comes in when you find a fingerprint sensor underneath a button. Actually, the look alike of a button fails to be a button and is simply a boundary for the sensor. Bad decision! It does not look good. The phone has an amped up camera, a 16 MP shooter which will obviously perform better in terms of image quality from the Moto G4. The front camera remains the same. Same support for TurboPower comes with the plus model as well. The phone will be shipped in black and White but you'll be able to customize it via the Moto Maker. You can also have a dual-SIM capability if you desire. Just buy the phone from Moto Maker.
Both of the phones will run on android Marshmallow v6.0.1 out of the box. Motorola is not a big fan of the customization capabilities and has opted for a cleaner, more stock skin for its new phones. Lenovo did not add a lot of bloatware into the hone while some useful features from Motorola like the Assist App designed by Motorola has made it to both the phones. The software runs smoothly especially on the model with more RAM and is not difficult to get your head wrapped around it if you have ever used the stock Android like phone.The processor handles the tasks efficiently and never did I feel lag interfering with the common functioning of the device. The phones are expected to get Android updates but that is not verified as Motorola now resides under Lenovo and not Google. Let's hope for the best. The benchmark results seemed to stand out and rocket this device to the top in the mid-range phones. The phone is really well made and offers a lot in little price. The Android is as sweet on this device as any other high-end device. This phone does not disappoint when it comes to software.
The Moto G4 has a 13 MP camera on its back, the camera performs pretty smooth on all turfs in broad daylight. The camera, like many other suffered in low light tending to over-expose the images for me. The camera app is snappy and provides you with a minimalistic look. The camera is tended to be a point and shoot camera. When compared to other phones falling into a similar category, the device performs quite well in terms of camera and provides you with persistent images. The problem to address here that the phone seemed to portray slightly wrong colors when exposed to light. The phone has a 5MP front camera. It is a pretty average camera and works quite nicely in great lighting conditions. The quality of images drops drastically in low light. The overall camera experience can be hailed as better than its competitors. The phone shoots video at 1080p and does not pack the specs to jump further above.
The Moto G4 Plus has the same 5Mp front camera which quite similarly to the Moto G4. The Plus model adds laser focus and phase detection autofocus to the camera improving the point and shoot experience. Certainly from the spec sheet, the camera is comparable to high-end phones of today's market. Unfortunately, the Plus handset runs out of specs as it maxes out at 1080p at 30 fps, so you won't be shooting 4K which is not an issue for most daily users or even record videos in 1920x1080 at 60 fps.
Moto G4 and the Moto G4 plus both have a rather large 3000 mAh battery to perform all its tasks. The battery on this device, though not tested rigorously, has the numbers to run a complete day with ease. Most of the users will find no difficulty in passing the day with a battery this large. The TurboPower found in the device lets you charge up the device for 6 hours in about 15 mins. This makes a complete day usage pretty standard for this device. The battery coupled with the Turbo Charging capability is definitely a nifty feature to have for power outages and your travels. I find this battery quite impressive. Both of the devices support fast charging but with the Plus model, you get a charger in the box. If you opt for Moto G4, you'll have to separately buy the charger.
The phone following the steps of its predecessors, is devised to be cheap and targets a wider group of people who cannot afford a 700$ phone. To my surprise, the Lenovo moto G4 is to cost a mere £169 when it opens up to the UK market in early June. The Plus will be available shortly after making its debut on Amazon and will be priced at about £199 out of contract. I'd argue that an additional £30 is a small price to pay for the higher-performance camera. Plus you get a charger too saving yourself from a little hassle.
The company has not yet declared about the price tag that will be put on these phone in US and Australia but the Moto G4's price converts to about $245 or AU$335, while the Plus's price when converted to dollars both US and Australian is to cost about $285 or AU$395.
Final Verdict:
The new Moto G4 and the G4 have sure been a surprise and they continue to mesmerize us with the idea that so much could packed inside something so small. The previous moto G phones have been hailed as the most well balanced and powerful budget phones in the past. The new Moto G4 does the same. At a minimal price of $245, you get a lot of features. The phone works like a charm and is quite friendly with your pocket. The camera is fine and the phone passes through an entire day without breaking a sweat. You lack NFC but that doesn't account much. The Moto G4 and especially the Moto G4 Plus triumph as the best budget phone of the year up to this very day.

Tombstone Tuesday - Abraham and Mary Turnbach nee Blanchfield
Abraham was the son of Milton and Bridget Turnbach nee Dugan. He was born on February 25, 1877 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He died on December 9, 1918.
Mary was the oldest daughter of Martin and Anna Blanchfield nee Boyle. She was born on November 11, 1879 in New York, NY and died in 1919.
Abraham and Mary had at least 8 children (Milton, William, Robert, Mary, Elizabeth, Ann and 2 unknown children). Both Abraham and Mary died so close to each other that the first thought that had jumped into my mind was "Flu". This would have been during the height of the 1918 pandemic (at least for Abraham). Sometimes guesses are wrong.
Abraham died in a mining accident. He did repair work in the coal mines and was electrocuted. It stated on his death certificate that his cause of death was "Electric shock - came in contact with hot wires."
I don't have Mary's death certificate. The last time I requested it I received notice of a failed search. I'll have to try again soon or see if one of my genealogy cousins was lucky enough to get a copy. I suppose it's possible that she could have succumb to the epidemic, but not knowing when in 1919 she passed does put a bit of a damper on that.
What is sad aside from them dying so close to each other? Their youngest was only about 4 years old. Luckily (if there can be luck) their oldest was nearly 20 and the family stayed together.
Abraham and Mary are buried in St. Mary's cemetery, Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania.

Weather prompts early dismissal of classes, activities
Weather prompts early dismissal of classes, activities
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Continuing heavy snowfall has caused Penn State to cancel scheduled activities at University Park, including classes, for the remainder of the day, beginning with the dismissal of students and faculty at 2:15 p.m.
Non-essential staff will be released 30 minutes after the release of students and faculty, at 2:45 p.m.
Only employees previously identified as performing essential services should stay beyond their official release time, unless advised otherwise by their supervisor.
The Kanye West concert will go on as planned, at 8 p.m. at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Road conditions are changing constantly with the continued snowfall, and employees and students are urged to use caution when traveling.
Staggering departure times in this manner will help to ensure that facilities remain open until students are able to return to their residence halls or off-campus residences. It also may help spread out traffic to prevent roadway congestion problems such as those experienced in other parts of the country this winter.
Transportation Services will cease operation of the Campus Shuttle and Paratransit Shuttle at 3:30 p.m. CATA services are expected to continue as normally scheduled for the remainder of today. Penn State shuttle services are expected to resume normal schedules on Friday.
Normal operations will resume at 5 a.m. Friday.
All employees and students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety. Faculty, staff and students should use their own best judgment when considering the need to leave earlier than scheduled departure times during times of inclement weather. Faculty and staff also should review Handling Weather Day Absences (Human Resources Guideline 10) at http://guru.psu.edu/policies/OHR/hrg10.html for specific information on how time missed for weather situations is handled.
The campus is currently under a Midnight Clear, restricting overnight parking in staff lots.

The Issa Hearing Redux: Arizona Rep. Franks Seeks to Control D.C.'s Abortion Policy But Won't Let D.C. Rep. Norton Speak
An Arizona Congressman is pushing for an abortion ban on the citizens of Washington, D.C. But the woman who represents that constituency isn't allowed to be there.
Arizona Congressman Trent Franks' attempt to push a 20-week "fetal pain" abortion ban in Washington, D.C. (despite the fact that there is no science showing a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks) is at best just another chance for the Republican to show off his anti-choice credentials and allow anti-choice House members to woo their supporters with their love of restrictions on women's reproductive health. At worst, it's an attempt to create a piece of legislation which, if it does become law, would provide a direct track to the Supreme Court to challenge Roe V. Wade. There is no evidence for fetal pain in the second trimester of pregnancy, and fetuses are not viable at 20 weeks.
Either way, he's not intending to let his moment of glory be overshadowed, even if that means refusing to let D.C.'s actual Congressional representative speak on the bill.
On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee will be reviewing a ban on any abortion after 20 weeks, but Democratic Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, who represents the District, will not be allowed to testify, despite the fact that she would be the one who represents the women who would be affected by the bill if it passes.
"The post-20-week D.C. abortion ban bill targets an entire group of individuals, women who live in the District of Columbia, and their constitutional rights. Using the women of one congressional district to reach for extreme encroachments on women's reproductive rights has become a pattern of the House Republican majority, but also reflected nationwide. We will vigorously fight the bullying tactics of the Republican majority against the District's women, and in standing up for ourselves, we recognize that we are also in the larger fight to protect the reproductive rights of women everywhere."
Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power.
The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox.
According to National Right To Life, however, Congress needs make rules for D.C. if it isn't willing to make them themselves, because the "forefathers hate abortion."
"Our nation was created when the original group of sovereign states came together and formed a federated republic. Article I of the U.S. Constitution established that the national seat of government would be placed forever not within any state, but in a special Federal District — and that the Congress would 'exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District." But what would the Framers of our Constitution say if they returned today and learned, to their horror, that well-developed unborn babies are legally being put to death, in terrible pain, virtually within the shadow of the U.S. Capitol and the White House?
As of yet, we have not heard exactly who will be allowed to testify. But we can guess that they will be predominately white, predominately male, and not people who actually represent the District of Columbia.

Leaky Roof
I've been unsatisfied with the technique I've used so far to record my music. It involves sitting down at an electronic keyboard and recording into a digital studio... oh.. it works.. but it's just not the same as a real piano.
Today, while it was raining outside, while I was home from work with my youngest, while mommy went on a field trip with the oldest.. I tried something else. I took my iPhone and stuck it in my empty coffee cup and sat it on the edge of the piano. You can hear the baby voicing her opinion in the background.
Our roof has been leaking for years. Finally, after much prayer and patience, God has graced us with the ability to get a new roof. But right in the middle of the roofing process, with only the tar paper down, the sky opened up and soaked us with a torrential downpour. It's still a little leaky and I've been crawling around up there in-between squalls trying to plug the holes with tar.
This piano piece is nothing more than me trying to exercise patience.. just grabbing hold of something tangible and working it with my hands.. literally staring out the window into the face of the storm. But if there's one thing I've learned in my crazy life, it's that I, Me, Bill.. can't do it alone. I'm just not that cool.
Let's see if this works out.
Here's just the audio below...

I love this piece so much I was holding my breath while listening.

Great power and emotion... Best to listen to on rainy days when my roof is leaking

You have great skills in playing the piano, Cushman. The rhythm is quite relaxing. Do you play this piece in your church, or someplace else? By the way, I heard some rain drops while you're playing. Was it raining when you recorded this video? It's a good thing that you're roof was okay at the time, or else, you wouldn't have the time to play the piano with your child. :)
- CuShMaN said...
I recorded this in my living room. It wasn't raining at the time. Thank you for the kind words.
- Brendan Gertner said...
Even so, it's a good thing you finally took action against the leaks. However, I'm sure the downpour slowed down the process since some parts of the procedure require a dry setting. Are you still having problems with it? This is why we should treat leaks as an issue that warrants urgent solution. No exaggeration. One leak can give way to another, and the problem can grow larger if left untended.
- Danielle Bailey said...
Well, it's better to wait for a good climate than trying to fix your roof under bad weather conditions. It might be dangerous for you up there because the roof surface can get slippery, which can cause accidents. You should wait for the right time and the right conditions before you even think about repairing your roof.

Say I do get waitlisted, and I don't get into UVA for fall. There is a two year grace period after I get my associates at my Community College, and I'm pretty sure I'm guaranteed during those two years. I will check to make sure, but I'm almost certain.
There are some things I can do:
I can a) Wait a year, and go to UVA. This is what I'm leaning towards because I spent the last year doing it solely for this, but apparently I didn't get it. And I love the school of UVA, and it also has a good computer science program. If I do this option, what can I do during this time to increase my stock as a CS major? Should I get an internship or a job? I am planning on doing other things to help the other areas of my life(basketball and writing).
or I could go b ) and go back to George Mason. That's where I originally went to, but I really don't want to go there. I just did not enjoy my time there, and based on academic standings, UVA blows GMU out of the water. I've done a year and a half at GMU, so I'd have to do the same amount of credits at each school(UVA or GMU), but GMU would be done quicker.
What would you recommend?

13-Jan-2001 -- Located off of Waddell lane in the middle of a cattle
pasture. Surrounding area of Dry Creek is rocky with mostly scrub
mesquite and a few live oaks. Sheep, goat, and cattle ranching is the
predominant use of the land in this area with some farming. I also met a
guy on an ORV (with beer in hand) using the land for recreation. After
locating the confluence and building a small cairn, I photographed the
nearby abandoned ranch house and windmill before heading 210 miles NNW
for my next confluence attempt.

While a tough list to compile, due to the sheer number of songs out there that reference the most frequently used mode of transportation here in New York City, it was still a fun one to draw up.
For this top ten, rather than just do say 70's rock or 90's hip-hop or any one specific genre, I tried to cover several genres and eras, and even still just scratched the surface. The selections are mostly subway themed songs - although some are overall NYC themed but with subway references in them like the ones by Fear and VU which placed in the last two positions for that very reason. Some others that almost made the list include "F Train" by Babe the Blue Ox, Unsane's "D Train," "The L Train Is A Swell Train And I Don't Want To Hear You Indies Complain" by Out Hud, "Subway: The Last 'I Love New York' Song" (from the musical Mayor), and another musical one - "Subways Are for Sleeping" from the musical of the same name. In comments below please feel free to add any songs you think should have made the list.
1) Duke Ellington Orchestra "Take the 'A' Train" (1941) "You must take the 'A' train / To go to Sugar
Hill, way up in Harlem." Even if they don't realize it, everyone knows this song - a jazz standard and signature tune for Duke Ellington and his orchestra with lyrics. Literally a classic and one that pops
into my head every time I take the A train, and I rate it number one on my list for its historic relevance. Honorable mention to another jazz classic: "GG Train" by Charles Mingus about the line now known
simply as the "G" line - as the "L" line used to be the "LL" line.

UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley was sharp on the first offensive possession of the spring game Saturday, and that was apparently enough for the returning starter. After completing four of five attempts for 30 yards, Hundley's spring came to a close as head coach Jim Mora chose to rest his starter and allow more snaps for back-up options.
Jerry Neuheisel, son of former Bruins coach and current Pac-12 Network analyst Rick Neuheisel, was the game's leading passer with 180 yards but was intercepted twice. Mike Fafaul completed seven of 16 attempts for 116 yards, Asiantii Woulard completed four of 13 attempts for 42 yards, and Mike Hall accounted for eight yards on his lone completion on two attempts. Saturday's game showed UCLA has a legitimate concern if Hundley has to miss any playing time in the fall, but the Bruins may be able to survive a short absence if needed. Hundley is a key ingredient for the Bruins in 2014, and he could work his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation with a successful Pac-12 championship run.
The good news is UCLA will have receivers no matter who the quarterback is. Jordan Payton was the game's leading receiver with 96 yards and Devin Lucien added 76 yards on five receptions. Two key receivers for UCLA did not play Saturday due to injury, but Devin Fuller and Thomas Duarte are expected back for the fall.
The Bruins should be fine on defense as well despite losing Anthony Barr. UCLA's defense racked up eight sacks in the spring scrimmage, and last year's young breakout star, Myles Jack, is focusing on defense.
UCLA has played in two of the three Pac-12 championship games since the conference expanded. After missing out on the championship game last season, the Bruins look to have a team capable of getting back there in 2014 in what could be a wide-open Pac-12 South. UCLA opens the 2014 season August 30 at Virginia.

Party 'til your belly aches at Alchemy's 4th Anniversary Bash
For a small fee, Alchemy promises booze, photos, music and a lot of food at their birthday party on Thursday.
Since opening in 2009, Alchemy has made sure their food could be described by those delicious buzzwords – sustainable, free-range, local and organic.
Never have I personally had such a glorious meat-laden meal at one restaurant, via Alchemy's Suckling Pig Dinner, then turned around the next week to eat an equally fantastic farm-to-table three-course Vegetarian Tasting dinner at the same spot.
So it really comes as no surprise that Alchemy (1503 30th Street) is going all out in celebrating four years in their South Park digs.
$10 will get you in the door to this delicious party and will include tray-passed street food morsels and access to a Taco Bar.
Their "signature street-style dishes" will be cooked lived using produce from Seeds at City Urban Farm, an organic farm/outdoor classroom/weekly market used by and for the Sustainable Urban Agriculture program at San Diego City College.
That same Hamilton will also get you a drink in the form of a glass of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) from Segura Viudas, a Blind Tiger Cocktail Company craft cocktail or a Societe Brewing Company beer.
In fact, the folks over at Societe Brewing Company have taken over all five of Alchemy's taps for this event - and all month long, as well.
Drink specials will be flowing all night to the tune of $4 a pop.
Also mentioned were "great jams, Tapeña Wines photo booth and more", but further information about these extras was unable to be procured.
Alchemy's Fourth Anniversary Bash happens Thursday, March 14 from 7:30 p.m. to midnight.

Want to go to space? We can take you. Say hello to the Expedition Center and Family Space Day.
The Expedition Center opened at HMNS in 1988 after the tragic last flight of the space shuttle Challenger. A living, teaching memorial to the crew, the Expedition Center continues to teach children about space and space flight and perpetuate all the things the crew loved.
Originally designed for schools and groups, the Challenger takes up to 40 participants to "space" as they experience real astronaut training during their missions to the Moon or Mars. Groups perform real world problem-solving as they train to become astronauts aboard the Space Station Observer. Children and adults are inspired and experience what it feels like to be an astronaut.
At Family Space Days at the George Observatory Expedition Center, individual family members are able to enjoy this memorable experience, too. Special dates are reserved for families to come down to the George Observatory and feel the adventure of space flight. Space Day missions are run by trained NASA volunteers who add to the authenticity of the event.
And guess what? One of those special dates reserved for you and your family to travel into space is this Sat., May 19!
Families are placed on a team and work together toward accomplishing mission goals. Those goals could include assembling a communication satellite, operating on-board robots, monitoring the life support systems, acting as the doctor on-board or navigating through space in order to land gently on the surface of the Moon. But the sky's the limit.
Each position is vital to the success of the overall mission. And, of course, every good astronaut training session involves having to solve some problems. One never knows when the Sun will erupt with deadly radiation headed toward the craft or when equipment might fail or there could be random asteroid damage.
"Houston, we have a problem" continues to be the familiar report when things go wrong. Family Space Days make the solutions available to everyone.
Interested? We thought you would be. Tickets for Family Space Day are available online until Friday at 5:00 p.m. for $10 per person.
But there's more! When families come to Family Space Day, we also have the innovative and immersive "Discovery Dome" — a portable planetarium! — showing We Choose Space. Tickets are available at the gift shop for $3 per person. Telescope tickets are also available for $5 per person at 5:00 p.m. for viewing when it gets dark.
What's better than a day of discovery with the family? For more information or to purchase tickets, click here!

From my mail bag:
I'm seriously considering getting trained myself with a UNIX / Linux education. Can you give me some general idea about salaries for computer professionals with diploma or degree education?
Salaries depends upon many factors such as:
=> Your country / location
=> Your credentials
=> Your level of experience
=> Your education level
=> Employer size
=> Industry
=> Job title etc
The best way to find information is just contact to your local recurring agency. Another old good option is LUG members. If you are located in U.S see Bureau of Labor Statistics website. After a quick search, I found following data (again valid for USA):
a] Tech support staff – US $50-55k p.a.
b] UNIX Sys / Net Admin – US $75-90k p.a.
c] UNIX Systems Manager – US $120k+ p.a.
There is no such data exists for India and salaries vary depending on diffrent factors. Please note that:
More Experience + Additional skillset == More money
See also:
=> Salary Survey Report for Job: UNIX System Administrator
=> Another Salary Survey Report for Job: Linux System Administrator (City and State search supported)
Feel free to share your experience in the comments.

Hey everyone!
This week for Inkspiration we are doing a Christmas showcase. The ones I am showing are projects I taught in my very last workshop for the year. I had a great time and the girls enjoyed themselves too! I got the ideas for these little beauties in several different places. Delys Cram for the Jelly Bean Elf, Julia Leece for the cute santa owl and I have seen heaps of different candy cane mice, but not sure whose first I saw. Thank you ladies for the wonderful inspiration.
Aren't they just the cutest?! I am going to make more Elf legs for the kids at Christmas and hang them in the Christmas tree, but I will be putting red and green M&M's in those. Maybe even some of those mice! LOL!
Don't forget to go to the Inkspiration Challenge Blog to check out the rest of the DT creations and link us to your Christmas creation!

Is it possible that no clerk mentioned what s/he is working on to a spouse? That no spouse with the information mentioned it to a parent or friend, even accidentally? That no parent or friend let it leak to a sniffing journalist or day trader in the community? With an aggressive press corps dying for a scoop, well-connected within the community of people that work in and around the Court, doesn't it seem surprising that a secret could be so well kept?Perhaps it seems so amazing in contrast to the way other things have leaked — notably the many national security leaks from the Obama White House. Another way of looking at this picture is with the template that everyone is probably doing what they really want to do. Nothing is actually an impressive feat of maintaining secrecy. People can keep secrets. We're surprised when they do only because of the rarity of wanting to keep secrets.
Just an alternate theory.

It's not enough to stuff a big-block in the engine bay of our project El Camino. No, we have to step it up a notch. To place such a work of reciprocating art into a dirty box just wouldn't be right. Under the hood is where the real showtakes place, where the engine will live. It just ain't right to open your hood and discover 40-plus years of dirt, road grime, oil residue, tar, and who knows what else-all cradling and enveloping superb muscle. It's like eating caviar with week-old pizza-the two just don't jibe.
The engine bay should be a shrine to all things powerful and fast-a Mecca and a foundation for making more power. It should embody the time and care you take with the rest of the car. People can tell a lot about a person by the way their engine bay looks. It expresses how serious you are about your project.
In our case, we spent the weekend with the Elco, washing, grinding, sanding, and finally painting the engine bay for this brute. We'll get you motivated to do the same and illustrate some of the pitfalls and tips that will make your endeavor a bit smoother.
Quick Notes
The Job
Degrease, sand, and paint away 42 years of grime.
Bottom Line
It's a cheap and easy weekend project.
Price (Approx)
Warm Cans
There is a direct correlation between temperature and pressure. We placed the cans of paint in a bucket of very warm water for about 10 minutes. This allowed them to soak up the warmth of the water, which in turn builds more pressure. Think of it as a nitrous blanket for your paint can. No warm water? Just set them in the sun for a bit. Your quick warm-up will allow the paint to come out faster with more pressure, and it'll dry sooner.

|Tags: how to draw snails, how to draw turbo characters
Description: There is a CGI movie coming out very soon that is supposed to take the place of Disney's Cars. DreamWorks Animation takes us on a snaily ride with Turbo. I already did the main character which is Turbo, but I haven't yet uploaded tuts on some of the other characters. I will start with drawing Whiplash because he is one of the toughest snails competing in the snail race. Whiplash is a big burly snail that has a good sized shell on his back. Before Turbo became fast, you could say that Whiplash was one of the faster snails on the track. His color is dark and it should be if he is the snail leader. Anyways, when you tackle this tut on "how to draw Whiplash" you will find yourself wanting to draw more snails. He is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson which means Whiplash should be comical to watch on screen. Have fun people and stick around for other tuts coming your way.

Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment benefits ticked up slightly last week, the latest sign of stability in the job market.
The Labor Department said Thursday that applications rose 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 371,000, the most in five weeks. The previous week's total was revised lower.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, increased 6,750 to 365,750, after falling to a four-year low the previous week.
A department spokesman says all states reported data and none were estimated. In the previous two weeks, the department relied heavily on estimates because many states weren't able to report data over the holidays.

Imagine being in a place so diverse, so vast, you feel an indescribable sense of freedom. From the plains of the downs country to the silvery shimmer of the sun shining on the gidgee trees in the forest country, Richmond is often referred to as an oasis in the Outback.
Crossing the rolling downs country of north west Queensland, originally opened to white settlement by the explorer William Landsborough in 1862, the township of Richmond is a welcome sight on the horizon. Situated on the Overlander's Way halfway between Townsville and Mount Isa, the town is located on the bank of Queensland's longest river, the Flinders, and is known for its recreational Lake Fred Tritton and bougainvillea-lined streets, parks and gardens.
Lake Fred Tritton is conveniently located at the edge of town. With a 1.2 kilometre circumference and a maximum depth of eight metres, Lake Fred Tritton allows visitors and locals the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of water sports.
As the home to the award-winning major attraction Kronosaurus Korner, this is the only museum in Australia primarily dedicated to displaying marine reptiles. Minmi, with impressions of its fossilised skin, is considered to be Australia's best preserved dinosaur skeleton. Minmi takes pride of place alongside the Richmond Pliosaur skeletons. This fossil, found in 1989, has to be seen to be believed.
If you find that you are infected with 'fossil fever' after visiting Kronosaurus Korner, call at reception for a map to guide you through the region's designated fossicking sites. If stepping back in time is more your scene, then take a heritage walk around the town, viewing the signs depicting yesteryear. Pay your respects to the pioneers that shaped this country at the Pioneer Cemetery, relax in the Lions Park, visit the Cambridge Ruins 40 kilometres out of town, or take a walk along the Flinders River.

Living with type 1 diabetes isn't easy -- for you or for your child. Good diabetes management requires a lot of time and effort, especially in the beginning.
Your child's emotions
Diabetes can affect your child's emotions both directly and indirectly. Poorly controlled blood sugar can directly affect his or her emotions by causing behavior changes, such as irritability. And, if that happens at a birthday party because your child forgot to take insulin before having a piece of cake, he or she could end up fighting with friends.
Another way diabetes can take a toll on your child's emotions is by making him or her feel different from other kids. Most of the time, children don't want to be different, and having to draw blood and give themselves shots definitely sets kids with diabetes apart from their peers. Getting your child together with other children who have diabetes may help make your child feel less alone.
Mental health and substance abuse
People with diabetes have an increased risk of depression and anxiety, which may be why many diabetes specialists regularly include a social worker or psychologist as part of their diabetes care team.
Teenagers, in particular, may have a particularly hard time dealing with diabetes. A child who has been very good about sticking to his or her diabetes regimen may rebel in the teen years by ignoring his or her diabetes care. Teens may also have a harder time telling friends or boyfriends or girlfriends that they have diabetes because they want to fit in. They may also experiment with drugs or alcohol, behaviors that can be even more dangerous for someone with diabetes. Eating disorders and forgoing insulin to lose weight are other problems that can occur more often in the teen years.
Talk to your teen, or ask your teen's doctor to talk to your teen, about the effects of drugs and alcohol on someone with diabetes. If you notice that your child or adolescent is persistently sad or pessimistic, or if you notice dramatic changes in his or her sleeping habits, friends or school performance, talk to your doctor or a therapist to have your teen assessed for depression. Additionally, let your child's doctor know if you notice that your son or daughter is losing weight or doesn't seem to be eating well.
Support groups
Talking to a counselor or therapist may help your child or you to cope with the dramatic lifestyle changes that come with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Your child may find encouragement and understanding in a type 1 diabetes support group for children. Support groups for parents also are available. Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your child's favorite takeout restaurant. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
Or, you can visit the websites of the American Diabetes Association, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or Children with Diabetes to find support and regional activities for people with type 1 diabetes and their families. The American Diabetes Association also offers diabetes camp programs that provide children and teens with diabetes education and support. And, these groups offer online information and forums for children and teens.
Putting information in context
Because complications from poorly controlled diabetes can be so frightening, it's important to remember that many studies -- and therefore, a lot of literature you may be reading -- were completed before many advances in diabetes care occurred. And that means many of those scary statistics don't necessarily apply to your child. If you and your child work with your child's doctor and do your best to control blood sugar levels, your child with likely live a long and normal life.

Isaiah Mustafa, who from now on will always be referred to as "the Old Spice guy," might well be the hottest actor in Hollywood right now. On the heels of signing a deal with NBC to make appearances on "Chuck" and develop other TV projects, he's also attached to star in Tyler Perry's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" (Tyler Perry School of Wisdom: The longer the title, the better the drama!). And now he's now teaming up with Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey for "Horrible Bosses," a big screen comedy. The actor himself dishes to The Hollywood Reporter:
It's a smaller role, but who wouldn't want to be in one of these funny, irreverent comedies? The cast is great. I'm playing a cop because I play these authoritative characters well. I don't know exactly who I'm in the scene with -- maybe Jennifer Aniston!
I went to see "Inception" the night of its premiere, and by far the loudest the crowd got in the theater was when Mustafa showed up in an Old Spice ad before the movie began. No joke. People cheered for a freakin' AD. That's how successful the Old Spice campaign has been, and Mustafa's rise shows no immediate signs of slowing down.
I think we all know what's coming next. Aniston and Mustafa will fall in love on the set of this film. The couple will become a tabloid sensation dubbed Mustaniston (or Anistafa). Then the two will get engaged. Then Mustafa will ditch Aniston at the last moment for Megan Fox. Then they'll have 90 kids together and Aniston will be forced to slum it with the Maroon 5 guy.
Mustafa will do all of this while on a horse. He's a man like that.

One breath, a hundred meters into the depths and back again.
That's the kind of incredible mental and physical mastery you can expect to see between April 27 and May 07 at Suunto Vertical Blue 2015, a free diving competition held in the world's deepest blue hole.

Suunto Vertical Blue is one of the world's top freediving events where competitors aim to push the boundaries of human aquatic potential, diving vertically for minutes on one breath.
The first of 23 divers from 12 countries take the plunge on April 27, day one of the nine-day competition. They'll be competing in three disciplines (see below), with some aiming to break world and national records or personal bests.

To deepen your understanding on freediving, jump into this article.
Located on Long Island in the Bahamas, the mysterious Dean's Blue Hole is a postcard perfect tropical cove from above. But past the sandy shores it drops off abruptly, falling 202 m before hitting the sea floor below.
The depth, warmth and clarity of its waters make Dean's Blue Hole to free diving what Maui is to surfing. It's a magnet for the best, including multiple record holder William Trubridge who founded the Vertical Blue competition back in 2006.

Will Trubridge has won the overall title five years straight and aims to continue his streak. With his main rival Alexey Molchanov not competing this year, there will be less standing in his way.
But with back-to-back competitions in the next few months and world championships in September, Will isn't promising to break any records this time around.
"I'm just looking to build depth and confidence in this phase of the year," he says. "If I'm at a level where I feel comfortable going for a world record in one of the disciplines then I will definitely do that."

For the first time in four years, the event is being held in April to take advantage of favorable spring weather conditions.
"It's been a while since we've competed in Dean's Blue Hole during spring, when weather and water clarity tend to be better, so I'm looking forward to that," Will says.
Stay tuned for more updates on Suunto Vertical Blue 2015.
Three disciplines:
Constant weight (CWT): descending and ascending using fins and arms only.
Free immersion (FIM): descending and ascending by pulling on the rope.
Constant no-fins (CNF): considered the purist freediving discipline – descending and ascending without fins or other artificial means.

Editor's Note: Lexi Wozny, NIU Marketing major and self proclaimed "busy bee" provides this next guest post. Lexi shares her involvement with organizing the Google Search Party event (March 20th) — and as importantly, what she learned from listening to a Googler talk about doing cool things that matter.
At the close of her post, Lexi also shares a bit about herself, along with her contact information. Lexi is also one of several students in the college's "Uncommon" video — about student experiences at NIU Business.

GOOGLED! by Lexi Wozny
Attending Thursday evening's "Google Search Party" gave me insight into what it takes to become a Googler at Google.
Demian Caponi, University Outreach representative at Google, Inc., came to the Northern Illinois University College of Business to meet and engage with students about sales opportunities at Google.
A sales position with Google's SMB (Small-to-Medium Sized Business) team is a consultative role. Successful members of this team are "teachers" to clients who want to expand their businesses online through online advertising. Along with being teachers, successful Googlers are collaborative and transparent. I've heard about Google's corporate culture before, but Demian's presentation brought it to the main stage in Barsema Hall Auditorium.
Google provides a great culture for its employees because they are changing the world- whether it's a small "Mom and Pop" shop or a medium size start-up. Google Sales Representatives are always working towards making a difference. When they make a difference with their clients, they make a difference at Google.
After the presentation, it made me think about how much of a difference anyone can make if they set their mind to changing the world around them. Working with the Collegiate Sales Advisory Board and American Marketing Association executive boards we were able to execute a Google campus event and get students in front of the "2014 Best Place to Work For" company.
By applying Google's values of collaboration and transparency, we gave NIU Business students an invaluable opportunity.
Lastly, some advice for some upcoming and incoming NIU College of Business students: If you want to make something happen, go for it and utilize the resources around you. You'll be surprised by what you can accomplish.

Such is the joy of following The Rooks on the road that our numbers are now swelling. As well as stalwarts Cynical Dave and Big Deaks, we were joined in this trip to St Albans by Mr Fuller of TBIR fame, his daughter Lolly and newest EFW member and all round good chap Al McCulloch.
Obviously, no trip to St Albans is complete without a visit to the City's splendid Cathedral. It was interesting to learn that an earthquake shook the abbey in 1250 and damaged the eastern.....what's that Deaks!? Britain's oldest pub is just around the corner!? Off we jolly well go my son.
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks. Never mind oldest, it was also one of Britain's most expensive, so after a swift pint it was time to move onto the ground via another pub (Robin Hood) and just for good measure a few more pints in the clubhouse at the ground.
Said clubhouse had an 80's feel to it which was reflected in the music (Depeche Mode, Cure, Abba etc) and the fact that we all sat around watching events unfold at the Oval in the Ashes on teletext. Bless them.
This match represented a small milestone for me in that it was the 200th ground I've visited. I can't think of a nicer place to have chalked up the double century. The ground looked a picture. Sadly, St Albans - like Lewes - are in a bit of financial bother. Most of the fans we saw in town beforehand had Arsenal shirts on and were off to the Emirates. Give me a trip to St Albans over a visit to Arsenal any day of the week. People of St Albans, give your club a helping hand.
The first half of match was pretty much a non event aside from an incident in which Danny Cullip got sent to the stands for having a 'quiet word' with the lino and a bit of inspiration from Dan Beck, who nearly lobbed Lewes into the lead. Nobody in the crowd seemed too bothered though as players and fans alike basked in the glorious Hertfordshire sun-she-ine.
One man and his dog.Even with my most optimistic hat on, I don't think I could have foreseen the circumstances that occurred midway through the second half. As you may know, European Football Weekends sponsor Lewes striker Sam Crabb. So here's the deal - in the 67th minute David Wheeler was up to his usual tricks with him going one way, the crowd going the other. So he swings in a little cross for our man Crabby who coolly finished to make it 0-1. He then ran over to me and well - let's not beat around the bush here - we had a little cuddle.
"Pssst...don't worry lads, I'll add on an extra minute at the end for you to score!"
Art, or is it!?
Travelling Army.
"Pssst...don't worry lads, I'll add on an extra minute at the end for you to score!"
Art, or is it!?
Travelling Army.
So just as I was penning my 'Smash and Crabb' headline - which I've had tucked away in a little draw for a while - up pops Mark blooming Peters for St Albans in the chuffing 93rd minute and bloody well heads past Rikki Banks for the flipping equaliser. Probably just about deserved on the balance of play but pretty annoying all the same. There was even time for Lewes to romp up the other end in more time added on (this bit we didn't mind) but Lewes sub Louis Pople fluffed his big chance after a neat run which denied us a last minute frenzy. Stinker.
Back in the clubhouse after the match and in order to do our bit to help St Albans survive, the EFW team finished off the supplies of Brock Bitter behind the bar. Cynical Dave then chose this moment to win 20 notes on the football scratchcard (he has previous in this department). We also chatted to the players and afforded ourselves a small giggle as we noted that Chris Breach was wearing what appeared to be a pair of diamond earrings.
Big Deaks, Crabby, Danny Cullip, Danny and Ryan Storrie*.Before making our way out of the ground we popped onto the pitch for our mandatory photo. Then events took a turn for the better as the St Albans Chairman invited us into the boardroom for a bit of the old free beer and food! There we chatted to the match officials, giving the lino a bit of friendly stick about the Cullip incident before travelling back into London Village with them on the train. They then went off to work for the football foundation, officiate in the West Ham v Millwall League Cup tie and referee the Aldershot under 18's match respectively, whilst we headed back to Brighton for a few more bevingtons. Good old life!
Happier times for St Albans in this photo story of the day they clinched promotion at the Dripping Pan.

Dinner Tonight: Autostrada Sandwich Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
The Italians know how to do fast food. If ever you find yourself cruising down an Italian autostrada or stuck in an airport, rather than settling for a sub-par hamburger, chances are you can find a deli-style counter where you can order a panini-style grilled sandwich filled with superb cured meats and melted cheese, which sit between two crisp sheets of hearth-baked bread. With this memory in mind, I set out to follow Nancy Silverton's instructions in her aptly titled book Nancy Silverton's Sandwich Book.
Making a sandwich like the autostrada State-side is not quite so easy—especially when you only want one or two of them. It took a fair bit of haggling to convince the gentlemen at the Whole Foods counter to slice me one-eighth-pound portions of one-sixteenth-inch-thin mortadella, coppa, soppressata, and prosciutto; I had to cross the store to get the fancy-cheese counter people talking to the deli guys to order sliced aged provolone. But the result, cooked on a grill pan pressed down with a heavy cast-iron skillet, took me back to Italy;
- Yield:4
- 8 slices crusty sourdough bread
- 4 ounces imported aged provolone in 1/16-inch thin slices
- 4 ounces mortadella in 1/16-inch thin slices, or substitute high-quality bologna
- 4 ounces coppa in in 1/16-inch thin slices
- 4 ounces dry salami, such as soppressata, in 1/16-inch thin slices
- 2 ounces prosciutto in 1/16-inch thin slices
- 4 jarred marinated cherry peppers, or pepperoncini, finely chopped
Butter half the bread slices on one side, and lay them buttered side down on a cutting board. Lay half the cheese on the slices, then scatter the peppers over the cheese. Layer the meats over the cheese: mortadella, then coppa, then salami, then prosciutto. Layer the remaining cheese, then top with the rest of the bread, buttering the outside.
Heat a panini press or ridged grill pan and lay the sandwiches (cooking in batches if necessary) inside or on top. If using a grill pan, weigh the sandwich down with a heavy skillet, such as cast iron. Cook over medium-low heat until the bread is golden and crisp, then flip to cook the other side.
Cut the sandwiches on a diagonal and serve with a small salad, if desired.

Intel® Ethernet Unified Networking for iSCSI
Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters are the easiest, most reliable, and most cost-effective way to connect servers to iSCSI SANs. They eliminate the need for expensive, proprietary iSCSI adapters, saving costs and simplifying your storage infrastructure.
iSCSI Growth
Storage Area Network (SAN) growth, particularly among iSCSI-based SANs, has been increasing in recent years, driven by data-intensive business operations, including virtualization, data retention, and storage backup.
The iSCSI standard allows storage traffic transmission over Ethernet networks. Growth in iSCSI deployments has been fueled by the advantages iSCSI offers over other SAN technologies:
- Simplicity: Using familiar Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet network equipment and cables reduces cost and time to train IT staff.
- Low cost: Integration with existing Ethernet networks requires no special, expensive equipment, and support with the rest of the network is seamless.
- Ease of Integration: All major server operating systems include native iSCSI initiators that request services from storage devices, so servers ship iSCSI-ready.
Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters: Ideal for iSCSI
Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters are optimized for iSCSI, delivering outstanding performance, and stability while helping to simplify your network infrastructure.
Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters deliver numerous advantages over other iSCSI solutions:
- Native operating system initiator support provides solid stability and greater simplicity than proprietary solutions.
- Hardware-based iSCSI acceleration features deliver outstanding performance across Intel's GbE and 10GbE product lines.
- Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Connectivity (Intel® VT-c) increases throughput in virtualized servers.
The latest 10 gigabit Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters deliver new levels of iSCSI throughput on today's multicore processor-based servers in both virtualized and non-virtualized environments.
