My 60-something parents flew back to Atlanta yesterday after spending about two weeks with us and during that time we had some serious technology boot camp.
My mother wanted to buy an iPad to do Facetime with the grandkids and to look at photos but she hadn't really played with one before. So during the first week of their visit, my 9-year-old and 5-year-old showed my mom how the iPad works.
My mom liked it so Michael helped her pick one out to buy. Michael got her all set up including a bunch of apps. He set up her address book for Facetime so she could "call" us.
She also has now joined the rest of the world on Facebook. Although she says she doesn't want to talk on it. She just wants to look at photos of our kids, my brother's kids and my cousins' kids.
She did get excited about posting her profile photo and "friending' my aunt and Godmother. It was sweet because all the cousin's started friending her as soon as they noticed she was on.We set up an app so she could print photos of the kids from Facebook.
Now she just needs to get Internet set up at her house, (They don't have the internet people!) and she will be all ready to go!
My dad didn't do quite as well. I played secretary for my father and I tried to teach him how to use his email more effectively. We worked on clicking between emails, enlarging print and screen percentage and attaching documents. My mom left in better shape than my dad did.
Have you helped your parents with Facebook, iPads, email, photo sharing and other technology? What do they have the hardest time with? What comes the easiest? Who does better on it: your mom or dad?
Have your kids helped you do anything with technology?

No I didn't. My parents took computer classes at the Senior Center. If anything, they teach me. I hate working on computers, and only do it at work. we have an iPad at home, but I very rarely get on it. I do play a couple of games, and that's it.
I stay far away from technology when I'm not at work. I can go all weekend without a computer.

Umm Theresa, I don't have internet at home either..No computer, no IPad, no tablet, no kindle..We have TV and cell phones..That's about as high tech as it gets..

My dad is pretty tech savvy, mom won't even look at anything electronic.
But OMG, no internet??? That is TOO funny!!!
November 28th, 2012
1:47 pm
My mother is completely uninterested — even when I point out that FB, Skype, etc. is a wonderful window into the lives of her grandchildren and children, she gets stubborn and says, "If they want me to know what's going on in their lives, they can call me." "But mom, NOBODY calls any more." "They do if they want to talk to me." "Mom, notice that the phone isn't ringing?"
She MAYBE checks her email once a month. *sigh*.

My mom is tech savvy, she knows how to take a pic w/her smart phone & upload it to facebook. She knows how to tag, post & share pics on facebook as well.

My parents just upgraded to an iMac and they love it. Took them all of a day to learn the OS system and they love it. As far as iPads go, they're super easy to use.

I'm only 48 but my kids are still teaching me. Like Mayhem, I can go all weekend and never look at a computer. I get enough of them during the week. My phone also doesn't get out where I live and I actually enjoy it. Hubby's does have service so if anyone wants to reach me, they call him or my daughter. He likes the phone a lot more than I do anyway.

Have I taught my mom to be tech savvy?
You might as well ask if I've taught any fish to drive lately.
And we must assume that Becky ^^^ is doing all of her blog posting on company time then.

@ Becky I ended up getting internet this year. They really do start needing in it in Middle School…even the younger one has had some use for it. You may want to think about it, plus we can look up assignments on the teacher blogs or check grades.
My parents had iPads since last Christmas. They had smart phones first too. My Dad is an egghead. Mom is less savvy and in fact could not get the audio book on ipad to work (we were in the car) so she handed it to my older one who had it up and running within in seconds.
They both had facebook early on too. My mom uses it to see other people's photos not to talk. I now have an account to keep up with friends from HS or work that have crossed my path. My account is linked to update me on phone when my child does anything too. :)
I now have skype on my smartphone so my child can talk to her buddy in AZ.
My grandfather does email and facebook and he is 94! Apparently you can teach old dogs new tricks if they are willing to learn :)
November 28th, 2012
2:27 pm
I am not tech savvy. I can pretty much work what I need, except the TV remote and thus I do not watch TV…haha.
I have two desktops ( one Mac) at home and a laptop but am looking at a tablet before the end of the year. . I would like one with "port" ( is that correct?) to use an attachment as a document camera, also sometimes known as an Elmo. Any tips?
My kids are impressed that I can set the alarm on my cell phone and even text. I have a flip phone and will upgrade this month. Everyone is OFFERING me their phones…HINT: they can get a newer phone, since they are all on my account. It takes me a while to figure out a phone and so I waited until I would be home and could ask for help. No more airports until 2013, for me.
My Dad just turned 75. He does not have a cell phone nor a computer. He complained ( to me) that telephone booths were being de-activated, last year. We bought him a GPS and he does use that.
My step mom does use her computer and I can touch base with her on Facebook too. A different generation! Remember, they did not even have microwaves when they were first married or garage door openers.

here is a weird one though….my ex is on FB and all. He asked the kids to send him a Christmas wish list, they said they would email it. He said NOPE want you to write it and walk it the mail box.
WTF? He is lucky they are willing to send anything…they really hate even email.
One big use for their email? Sending the assignments to their teachers so that if they forget it (they have ADD and ADHD and this a big one for them) they can print it off at school.

Well since you got them a hackable Apple Ipad and set them up with that spyware Facebook I hope you didn't encourage them to put their bank account info in there and do online banking from it.
November 28th, 2012
3:21 pm
@Grasshopper..Yes, I am at work using the internet..It's called a lunch break..We do get those, plus we get two ten minute breaks..
@FCM..That's why I will be looking into it..The kids are going to start needing it.. Plus, the boy is big on coming home and telling me that he has no homework, but the girl has homework but the girl has homework every night..
November 28th, 2012

MJG: The Ipad sounds like what you want. You can use ELMO, (I'm assuming you mean Elmo Document camera), and if you are doing it with your Apple laptop then it will be much the same. Just don't use your Ipad for finances, there is no security and almost every app requires full root access to your Ipad.
As far as phones? Since you already have Apple laptop, and desktop computers and potentially an apple Ipad, get an Iphone. Not a 5, but a 4s. The Iphone 5 will use a different cord than the rest of your apple products and the 4s is more than enough for you.
I can go back and forth between Apple and PC but then I've been doing it for 30+ years. But for most folks, I think for ease they should stick to one OS (operating system).
Good luck and have fun with your new phone.
November 28th, 2012

@Mayhem – your iPhone is just a small computer so you're not really staying away from it :)
My parents are pretty young considering all things so they are tech savvy. My dad could careless once he leaves work though. My mom has an iPhone, is on Facebook and spends way more time than she should on the computer quite frankly. My son always shows my mom new tricks when she visits though.
November 28th, 2012

LOL! My dad is almost 80 and is doing good to use his cell phone for calls. There are no other functions on his phone. He gets frustrated just making calls (slight mental impairment from a stroke).
My husband finally got his certificate saying he was the last man in America to not have a cell phone, so he got one ;) I promised to disconnect the landline if he did. But I have a fundamental problem with not having a landline of some sort so I think we will get some sort of VOIP.
I still have a dumb phone because I don't want to pay for a data plan – 2 kids in college. Ouch!
November 28th, 2012
4:42 pm
GardenDiva – not all VoIP phones are created equally and it really depends on your home internet service.
I'm a big techie and I still refuse to give up the solid quality of a landline. My husband and I both work from home so we actually have two landlines… I justify it by remembering how much money I save in gas!
November 28th, 2012
4:44 pm
@ Garden Diva, we have two kids in college and have data plan for their phones and my husband too.
@ Fred…my laptop is not Apple, that is the desktop. So, I need to start from scratch. I need it to take to conferences, when I speak. Power Point is a PAIN, for the things I use, so this was suggested to me. I believe I will get an Iphone…any other tips?
November 28th, 2012
5:02 pm
MJG- you can get an android tablet like the ASUS transformer for your ELMO use. Yes, you need a USB port for that, and you would have to get a dongle for that with an iPad. Alternatively, document camera wise, the IPEVO is very simple and easy to use, and is pretty much plug & play.
November 28th, 2012

…when they find out the cost they may still be without it – and all that "training and friending" will be for naught…
November 28th, 2012
6:06 pm
@FCM: My mother asked for Christmas lists from the kids, and I said I would have them email her. "Oh, have them fax it!" "Uh, no, mom, neither one of them are anywhere near a fax" "I'm supposed to fire up my computer so they can send a list?" "It would take you 90 seconds to turn on your computer and for it to 'warm up.' It would take them half-a-day to find a fax machine, so yeah, you are supposed to fire up your computer!" Grr. She's a very smart lady, I don't know why she's chosen this particular hill to die on.
November 28th, 2012

@ DB…at least she buys them a present or even asks for their list. That would shock the stinkers out of my two.

Every time we go to the in-laws my wife and I tag team teaching her mom how to use Facebook, her iPhone, etc. One day she asked me "how do you find stuff on the internet?" I told her I use Google.
"Where do i buy that?" she asked. #smh

Theresa, about the note on your picture: Have you got an external hard drive? You might want to consider getting one that can be plugged into the iPad. They're not that expensive: I think I saw a 1 TB go for about $50 or so. Lilina could put her movies on that, and hook it up to the iPad (or any other computer) when she wants to watch them, or work on one.
Or, upload them to YouTube and make them private, so that only she can view them, and anyone she wishes to share the link with, up to 50 people, so she could only share with close friends and family.
With the latter, she'd need an Internet connection at all times, but with the former, she could haul the drive around (they make them now where you don't need a power source, just a USB cable and connection) and plug it into any computer, and play the video. Of course, that computer would need the proper software installed to view the video, unless she saves them in a universal format, like .mpeg or .mp4.

I think the tech "savviness" of folks in their 60's depends on their line of work. Those who worked in situations where technology was part of the job tend to be more into keeping up with email, FB, etc. Husband and I are in our early 60's but are pretty on top of tech stuff due to working in education (elementary school and university level). My mother often said "I want to get a computer" but passed away at the golden age of 91. She never got her computer but I don't think she could have handled it…I had to explain the whole Braves wild card thing to her every year as the regular season wound down and the playoff picture was emerging. Bless her heart…I miss her immensely!

Boys go down under for fun and sport
27 is not likely to be a day that 10 Blaine baseball
players will remember for the rest of their lives. In
fact, it is a day that they didn't
even get to experience. After traveling from Portland
to Los Angeles, the North Whatcom crew boarded a 747
for a 15 hour flight to Melbourne, Australia - across
the international dateline, losing the day and the rest
of their summer. They landed July 28 around 8 a.m. to
winter and partly cloudy skies, scattered showers, and
a high of 60.
The 2004 Australia Tour Down Under is the fifth trip for Gary Clausen, Blaine high school's athletic director and varsity baseball coach. But the tours, occurring about every three years since 1992, follow a similar itinerary – baseball, homestays, sight seeing, and experiencing the Australian culture. This year's tour will see local athletes traveling to Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney competing against teams in about 10-12 ballgames. "Games have a tendency to get adjusted due to field availability and weather conditions,"Clausen said. But there will be plenty to do besides baseball during the three-weeks between now and August 16 when the team returns.
After they arrive in Oz they will walk through Anakie Gorge to view koalas and have a barbecue in the park before traveling to Werribee/Geelong to meet their homestay families. Plans include an Aussie football game on Saturday before playing their first doubleheader. The players will also travel to the Ballarat Wildlife Park and Sovereign Hill and the Victoria Market in Melbourne before heading to Brisbane to visit the Gold Coast and Steve Irwin's famous Crocodile Farm. After that they'll go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and white water rafting on the Tully River. In Sydney the team will see the Sydney Center Point Tower, go on a Harbor cruise, tour the Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbor and see the Blue Mountains and the 2000 Winter Olympic site.
A college buddy brought up the idea of Australia while the two were attending a baseball clinic in 1991, Clausen said he told his friend (Don Freeman) in November, "I'd love to go, but I just don't think I can." Listening to his heart (and his wife), Clausen said he called him back in January with a different response. "It was something I had always wanted to do," he recalled. He took two players to Australia in 1992, nine in 1995, three in 1998, seven in 2001 and 10 this year counting the statistician, Amber Rucker. The players sold entertainment books, Pepsi products, dinner and auction tickets, concessions at baseball games and sponsored a comedy show during their fundraising efforts over the past three years to help cover the $3,625 tab, which includes airfare, meals, housing accommodations and uniforms. Each player raised about half of the cost of the trip and then paid for the other half.
"It takes a lot of effort to put a trip like this together but it's all worth it when they get over there," Clausen said. "Kids who have played for me in the past and have come back to visit, that's (the Australia trip) what we talk about. That's what they remember, not so much the baseball seasons," he said, sharing a story about a sheep farmer in Melbourne who had come to town to protest soda pop which he pointed to as the source of his sheep' losing their teeth.
"I couldn't believe it when
Carrie told me the sheep had false teeth - which
he took out of the sheep's
mouth and put into his own mouth!"
Clausen said he and his family enjoy the trip so much – from seeing the country and its attractions to watching the reactions of the boys seeing it for the first time.
lot of it is the people in Australia. They are really friendly
and they treat you well," he said. "It's
such a unique place and I enjoy the different animal
species and the environment."
That's what junior Matt Gorze is looking forward to on his first trip. "I am excited about seeing the wildlife and going snorkeling and white water rafting," Gorze said, "oh, and of course the baseball."
The players left for Prairie high school in Vancouver, WA on Monday to join about 10 other ballplayers from that area for a workout and practice session before two squads (an A team and a B team) were selected. The players also got a chance to meet each other, socialize, and have a picnic with parents before being housed out in the area. After a double header on Tuesday and another evening together, the players and chaperons met at the Portland International Airport for the short flight to LA.
Participants from Blaine include (2004 graduate) Sean McLaughlin, seniors Ben Freeman, Kyle Dhanani, Craig Rothwell, and Bryan Galbraith and juniors Garrett Barrow, Robert Bleecker, Ryan Henley and Matt Gorze.

text: Nowhere There, either Sun, 24 Jun 2007 00:00 - Sunday, 24 June 2007, 00:00 The Maltese flag fluttered outside Dusseldorf's Messe Hall where the EuroNanoForum was being held, while lazy vessels plied the mighty Rhine beyond it. That flag, and my single presence, were the only signs I could see of any Maltese participation in the forum, which people from 46 countries were attending. Oh, and I forgot, some of the folders we were handed had Maltese translations at least on the cover. Once again Malta was conspicuous by its absence, which is a pity seeing that R&D funding will supplant CAP funding as the major funding in the EU in the years to come and we are still learning to spell nanotechnology. One may also add some pointers: with all the research being done in connection with nanotechnology and semi-conductors it is still rather uncanny to see that all STMicroelectronics R&D is being done in Catania or elsewhere and that ST's long presence in Malta has so far not produced any offshoots as ancillary products or facilities. The Malta Council of Science and Technology has recently gone through an overhaul of sorts but even so, its website does not even mention nanotechnology although this is one of the areas of privileged investment according to the Foreign Investment Act. And a list of the university's recent abstracts and research papers fails to turn up anything related to nanotechnology either! Nor was the Malta's national coordinator on the board of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology, Jesmond Xuereb, anywhere near the Dusseldorf conference. Other countries, from Slovenia to Latvia, were there in force and also the many research institutes that have sprouted up outside universities in collaboration with private industry.

BOSTON (WHDH) -- Reports say the Clippers have agreed in principle, for a deal to bring Celtics Coach Doc Rivers to Los Angeles.
The Clippers will surrender a first round draft pick for Doc, who's set to sign a 3-year, $21 million deal.
Other reports say that draft choice will be an unprotected pick in 2015. The NBA still has to sign off on the trade. And earlier in the week, the league indicated that it would veto a deal of Doc and Kevin Garnett for a package of picks & players.
But since this deal would only be for the coach, it's a different scenario.

(FOX 11 / CNS) An 84-year-old beating victim died at a hospital today, and a 22-year-old family member was arrested for the crime, Glendale police reported.
Authorities sent to the 1800 block of West Glenoaks Boulevard about 5:30 a.m. Monday found the mortally injured senior citizen in an apartment, said Glendale police Sgt. Tom Lorenz. Ruben Sanchez died at County-USC Medical Center, the sergeant said.
Lorenz said investigators initially believed they were dealing with a burglary that ended in an assault. But robbery-homicide detectives, working around the clock, followed up on leads that led them to Adrian Sanchez, 22, who was arrested in El Cajon with the aid of the U.S. Marshal's Office.
The motive for the crime was unclear, as was the relationship between the victim and suspect, who is expected to be arraigned on Thursday.

Planning ahead for a weather-wise and season-savvy home
Published on Thu, Oct 25, 2012
Read More
Winter is closing in, and as days grow shorter and temperatures drop it's time once again to prepare your home for the long winter months ahead.
Taking a few minutes now to walk around your home – visually inspecting important systems from a safety perspective and making note of routine maintenance chores that need attention – is a great way to get started, and having a good winter maintenance checklist on hand can help you make sure you're not missing anything.
1) Clean gutters and downspouts. A clogged gutter or downspout can freeze and wreak havoc on your home. Make a point of checking your gutters and downspouts well before daytime temperatures dip below 32°F. WFC Ace manager Ken Rose points out that often downspouts are the biggest clog culprits.
"People should check right where the downspout drops off the gutter," he says, noting that the curve in the downspout at that location is a common spot for blockages. And if you have a gutter screen system in place, make sure it's installed exactly per the manufacturer's instructions. An improperly installed screen will clog up just as bad as a completely unscreened gutter, Rose says.
2) Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors using the testing feature on each device. Replace batteries and inoperable units as needed. Rose suggests people pick a memorable anniversary and change all the batteries throughout the house at that time – for him, it's Thanksgiving.
3) Recharge or replace fire extinguishers. Check the gauge on every fire extinguisher to make sure it's fully charged (arrow pointing to the green area of the gauge). Remove each extinguisher from its mounting bracket and turn upside down to help prevent the dry chemicals inside from caking on the bottom over time. If your fire extinguishers are more than one year old, consider having them inspected by a professional.
3) Check furnace vents. If your home has a forced air furnace, check to make sure that vents in primary living areas are open and unobstructed. You can partially close vents located in less frequently used rooms, but don't close them all the way unless you're sure there is no chance of water pipes freezing as a result. Keep in mind that temperatures inside the walls of your home will be lower than adjacent living areas.
4) Stock up on furnace filters. Dirty furnace filters waste energy. They also force your furnace to work harder to heat your home. Your owner's manual should explain what types of filters are best for your furnace and how often they need to be changed. Keep in mind that a high-efficiency air filter will trap more dirt than a conventional filter and may need to be replaced more frequently to keep your furnace from overheating.
5) Schedule checkups for all home heating systems. Regular maintenance can help keep furnaces, wood stoves, chimneys and other home heating components in top working order. Experts recommend that you schedule an annual inspection by a qualified professional for each system, but service intervals may vary from one system or manufacturer to another, so play it safe and check your owner's manual or contact heating system manufacturer for guidance.
6) Replace worn out weather stripping around windows and doors. You can dramatically decrease your heating costs. Weather strips are easy to replace and should pay for themselves in a very short time. Look for drafts around outlets, switches and furnace ducts and seal them now.
"It's a lot easier to do before the cold weather blows," Rose says.
7) Inspect the insulation in attics and crawl spaces. Over time, fiberglass insulation panels sagging away from rafters, joists and wall cavities allow cold air to penetrate your home. Duct tape can be used to reseat a small problem area, but extensive sagging may indicate a moisture problem.
Try to determine the source of this problem before you replace large areas of insulation. And if you decide to replace the insulation yourself, make sure you follow manufacturer guidelines for personal protective equipment.
8) Protect exterior water valves. Hose bibs located in an unheated garage or on the outside of your home may need to be covered to prevent freezing damage. It's also good to shut off and drain the water supply.

"More Strong Storytelling from Tana French"
I am giving this review 4 stars only because I am comparing it to other Tana French novels. If I compare this story to the type of mysteries I enjoy, it would get a solid 5 stars. Ms. French's books are mysteries, they are even police procedurals, but these novels defy the normal "mystery / thriller" genre. I would describe Ms. French's writing as "literary" mystery because she spends so much time on the characters and the place. I felt I was standing there on the grounds of St. Kilda school beside detectives Conway and Moran. There is no formula you can follow to determine the murderer. I spent lots of time while I was not listening to the book trying to figure out the killer. I could not figure it out even though the resolution fit in the end.
Other reviewers will claim that the narration is annoying because it was so creepy about how teenager's, especially girls, talk so snarky, uncompassionate and self-assured. But isn't that how these privileged girls may have acted under these circumstances. I agree it was not fun to listen to their speech, but it feels more real for this story.
To a new-comer to Tana French, I would recommend they start with book 3, "The Faithful Place" and then go back to the first book and follow in order. But, it is OK to start here with this excellent mystery. While there is no continuous thread you have to follow, it is fun to find a previous book's character reappear occasionally in these stories.
I wish the next Tana French book would come out sooner than 2 years. But these stories are worth the wait.
"Exceeds my High Expectations!"
When I started this listen, I had huge expectations because the series to this point only got better and better. After the last book's major crescendo, I couldn't imagine how Penny could come back with another story for Gamache that would be the same caliber. I was even concerned that Penny could stop writing, and the series could stand well where it ended with Book 9.
I under-estimated how brilliant Penny is. The only change I saw was that this book starts with Gamache now living in Three Pines. No change with familiar characters' personalities that have remained consistent over the entire series. I was laughing with real joy to have my friends back.
One thing I loved about this particular book, as Gamache and his team research and travel to solve the mystery, I was able to do the same on the internet. It expanded my understanding of the story in a fun way. I felt I was part of the team.
Thank you, Louise Penny, I am grateful for your books. This is why I read.
"Pitch Perfect Voice and Words"
The narrator's voice with a beautiful Irish lilt is perfectly matched to the words that are so well-written by McKinty. I want to compare the writing to soaring poetry, but I lack the skills to define how much this story -- this series -- moves me to listen so intently. I actually listened to some chapters a second time, not because I didn't understand, but because I wanted to hear it again. I am already looking forward to the day that I can re-listen to this series.
Don't even think of starting this book unless you have heard the first in the series "A Cold, Cold Ground". The background and place (1980's in Northern Ireland) have taught me a great deal about the "Troubles" near Ulster. It is fortunate that the first book is just as excellent as the second.
Sean Duffy is my hero. No need to explain, it will be readily apparent as you read this story, even though no one would claim Duffy is perfect. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I hope Adrian McKinty will not plan to take a break from writing now that he has completed this trilogy. I would read anything he puts out in the future.
"Getting Creepy and Scary"
I did enjoy the first book of this series, but I am so glad this story will end as a trilogy. I am willing to listen to the last one, but I probably would have stopped here, if there was a fourth book. With the asteroid within 70 days of hitting, society is breaking down into something that feels like "Lord of the Flies". While I would like to think I would act like the main character, Hank, I find him to be an idealistic version of how everyone wants to act under these circumstances. I think the ending of this book was a great set-up for the last book in the series. Too bad the rest of the book was just mediocre to me.
"A Mystery that Solves Itself?"
The writing is well done and the narration is great. I am struggling with this review because it just had too many characters. In addition, all the characters get a full back-story which made this story way too long. A significant editor's cut should have been done on this book.
This story is more of a psychological thriller as only about 20% of the book contained any actual police investigation by Patric (a favorite character of mine) and his crew. The actual "solve" of the mystery was more like the clues fell into the Patric's lap instead of actual crime solving. I wasn't surprised by the ending. The twist comes so late and after so much reveal of the characters, you just want to get on with it.
Yet, Camilla Lackberg can tell a story in a very interesting way. It just wasn't the story I wanted. Hopefully, the next book will be more of the crime solving genre that I crave.
"Another Wonderful Financial Thriller!"
Michael Sears is not a "one hit" wonder. His second book is just as good as the first one which I enjoyed immensely. To enjoy this series fully, plan to read them in order so that you don't miss out on the importance of the character relationships and the progress being made with the autistic son, "The Kid".
I can't say I understand these complex financial crimes from the first description, but the author does such a good job of keeping the story going until this Bernie Madoff type crime becomes obvious to the listener. I feel much smarter about financial dealings and crimes whenever I finish a Michael Sears book.
The narrator for this second story was good, but I must admit the narrator for the first book was outstanding.
I will definitely use my credit for the third book in this series, when it is available.
"My Favorite Author"
I save my all-time favorite authors and mystery series for those times I have challenging chores to finish. With a July 4th party coming up, I knew I could whip my house into shape while listening to Connelly's latest in the "Lincoln Lawyer" series. As I expected, it was great fun, and the time flew by. As I go back over my older reviews, I can remember the difficult home projects I finished while enjoying Connelly, Louise Penny, Steig Larrson and Jo Nesbo.
I won't re-hash the story as that is done well in other reviews. Instead, my love of Connelly has a great deal to do with his thoroughness in fitting all the puzzle pieces in the end. He can write a very complex, multi-faceted story, but it all makes sense, yet is tough to figure out. His characters, Harry Bosch and Micky Haller, for 2 different series are meticulously written. Connelly doesn't let a chapter go by without defining Bosch or Haller with acts or situations where their character become fully realized - and it carries over from one book to the next very consistently. I wish more authors could write like Connelly. I can find no faults. Just what a mystery lover, like me, craves in a series.
"Written by a Master!"
Another great book from Nesbo. To enjoy this book fully, you must read "The Redbreast" and "Nemeis" prior to reading this "trilogy" as there is a dramatic resolution to a long-running murder that is referenced in these three books. Harry Hole's obsession with this murder has caused his downfall into drunkenness, unreliability, hostility and estrangement from his loved ones. At times, I wanted to give up on Harry, but his vulnerability and empathy had me cheering for him. Harry's redemption in the end is so satisfying to the story and to me.
That said, the main story line is about a serial killer loose in Norway during a hot Summer. The killer is leaving behind a star-shaped diamond and taking away a finger at each scene. In addition, Harry is made to work with someone he despises. The story builds and builds to a twisty resolution that will have you holding your breath. Robin Sachs is "Harry Hole" to me. Since his recent death, I have learned to savor every book narrated by Mr. Sachs.
The story starts off so strange -- a droplet of water moves through a centuries old house and ultimately causes the finding of the first victim. After replaying it several times, I realized how creative and brilliant a writer Nesbo can be. I would pay to read his shopping list.
"Too Much Religion - Not Enough Procedural"
I hung in there until the end of the story, but wanted to quit every time it started getting preachy and so so very spiritual. I thought this was going to be a police procedural, but I saw every turn coming before the twist because Krueger has become predictable with this one.
The narrator, David Chandler, reads these stories, but does not act or perform them. I think I would enjoy the stories more if there were more emotion and expression.
My opinion is that Krueger is a very capable writer. I have enjoyed his previous books, but he lost me with this story in the series. Will I try again? Yes, I will give it one more try in the future.
"Good Book, Not Great"
I think most people that enjoy sophisticated mysteries or thrillers will find something to like in this story, but it likely won't make it to your favorites list. That said, parts of the book were very intriguing and well-written, especially the parts utilizing the main character's psychology training. Unfortunately, the middle of the book is better than the ending.
Would I listen to another Michael Robotham book? I would say yes because he strives to write something more unique in this genre.

Canon EOS 70D Review
First Look
Three months after refreshing their enthusiast range of DSLRs with the EOS 100D and 700D, Canon has announced the EOS 70D - a new model that's designed to replace the EOS 60D and slots into the company's advanced lineup of DSLRs.
Unlike DSLRs that sit below it in the EOS range, the Canon EOS 70D features a higher resolution 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor that's partnered alongside Canon's DIGIC 5 image processor and provides a wide ISO sensitivity range of 100-12800 that's extendable to an equivalent of 25,600.
The EOS 70D's new 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor provides a native ISO range of 100-12,800.
Implementing the same 19-point all cross-type AF system as found on the Canon EOS 7D, the Canon EOS 70D becomes the world's first DSLR to feature Dual Pixel AF technology, which is designed to improve the speed of autofocus when shooting Full HD video and acquiring focus in Live View mode. This latest technological innovation allows two photodiodes to be mounted within each pixel, both of which can be read independently to achieve autofocus, or alternatively together for image capture. To ensure a perfect balance between image quality and performance is achieved, the Dual Pixel AF technology covers 80% of the sensor area and is fully compatible with 108 Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
At the rear, the Canon EOS 70D shares a similar design to the recently launched Canon EOS 700D
To further enhance the autofocus operation, the Canon EOS 70D features a new dedicated AF area selection button that's conveniently positioned behind the shutter. The idea of this is to tie-in with the EOS 70D's intelligent viewfinder to provide a way of showing the autofocus modes without having to pull the camera away from the eye. Autofocus mode icons are displayed directly above the AF points in the viewfinder and after depressing the new AF area button, these can be toggled through using the top plate scroll dial. Compared to the EOS 7D's 100% frame coverage, the Canon EOS 70D has 98% coverage and 0.95x magnification.
The new AF area selection button that's located behind the shutter button offers a heads-up view of the AF modes through the viewfinder and is controlled with the scroll dial.
Set to continuous shooting, the Canon EOS 70D can rattle out a burst of high resolution images at 7fps - equivalent to 1fps faster than the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, but 1fps slower than the Canon EOS 7D. Loaded with an Ultra High Speed SDXC or SDHC memory card, Canon claim that 16 Raw files, or 65 large JPEGS, can be shot before the 70D's buffer requires a breather before it can shoot again.
The Canon EOS 70D's 3in, Vari-angle display is the same as the Canon EOS 700D's.
The rear of the EOS 70D is taken up by a 3in, 1040k-dot resolution touch screen that's identical to the display as found on the recently launched EOS 700D. Being the Vari-angle type it can be pulled out, tilted and swiveled and has the advantage of being able to be touched to acquire focus in Live View mode or when shooting HD video. On the subject of HD video, the Canon EOS 70D shoots at a variety of frame rates, including 30,25,or 24fps, with the option to shoot at 60 and 50fps when the resolution is lowered to 720p. Full control over shutter speed, aperture and ISO is also available for videographers, as is a built-in external microphone input port.
The Canon EOS 70D uses the rechargable Li-ion LP-E6 battery and has a battery stamina that'll last for 920 shots.
Much like the Canon EOS 6D, the EOS 70D becomes Canon's second DSLR to feature in-built Wi-fi functionality. It offers photographers the freedom to control the camera remotely from a smart phone or tablet that's running Canon's EOS remote app. In addition to its wireless functionality, the Canon EOS 70D features a host of creative modes, which allow photographers to experiment with the style and appearance of images prior to sharing or uploading.
Pricing & Availability
Available from the end of August, the Canon EOS 70D will cost £1079.99 body only or £1199.99 with Canon's 18-55mm STM kit lens. It'll also be made available in kit form with the Canon 18-135mm STM lens for £1399.99 and the new BG-E14 battery grip will cost £229.99.
The new BG-E14 battery grip has been designed for the EOS 70D and doubles the shooting stamina by holding a pair of rechargable Li-ion LP-E6 batteries.

Community Campus pharmacy now a 24-hour operation
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— The Community Campus pharmacy recently extended its services to a 24-hour daily schedule. The on-site pharmacy now processes medication orders and delivers the prepared medications to the hospital departments without interruption.
Prior to this transition, the pharmacy offered it services daily from 7 a.m. to midnight with a pharmacist available on-call during the off hours.
"The pharmacy's new 24-hour schedule responds to the needs of our patients," said director of Pharmacy Beth Szymaniak. "The expanded hours also enable the team of technicians and pharmacists to operate the pharmacy with greater efficiency."
More than 1,200 orders are processed each day by the pharmacy's team of 12 technicians, 15 pharmacists, and "RxD2," the on-site pharmacy robot. The robot, installed in 2008, will also begin operating 24 hours a day as it dispenses medications and streamlines inventory management by tracking and managing its unit-dose inventory.
The on-site pharmacy at the Downtown Campus operates on a 24-hour schedule as well. There, a team of more than 100 individuals includes pharmacists, technicians and support staff. The Downtown Campus Pharmacy Department began using robotic IV automation (RivA) for the precise and accurate preparation of intravenous solutions for pediatric and adult patients in 2012.
For more information about the Community Campus pharmacy, contact Beth Szymaniak at 492-5321 or email@example.com.

Two Democratic lawmakers are pushing legislation that would make buying a firearm much more expensive. The bill would nearly double sales taxes on guns, and more than quadruple the tax rates on ammunition. The bill is sponsored by William Pascrell, D-N.J., and Danny Davis, D-Ill., who say their legislation takes aim on gun violence starting at the pocketbook. The bill is called the Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities act. It calls for taxes on weapons to be raised well above what they are currently. WHAT DO YOU THINK? POST YOUR COMMENTS ON OUR FOX 5 ATLANTA FACEBOOK PAGE.Under the proposed legislation, the tax rate on firearms purchases would increase from 11 percent to 20 percent. Tax rates on ammunition would rise from 11 percent to 50 percent. The proceeds would go to anti-gun violence programs.Gun dealers oppose the legislation, saying that taxes on guns and ammunition are already very high, and this would hurt their sales and make it more difficult for many of their customers to get a weapon for sport or protection.In a statement, Rep. Davis said, "This legislation is a pro-active approach to reducing gun violence by using proven preventive programs which have been starved for funds until now. As part of a comprehensive, multidimensional strategy to reduce gun violence, this legislation closes major loopholes in tax law and lays out an equitable, long term, sustainable strategy to provide the requisite resources."Bill sponsors say those resources include safe neighborhood grants, community policing programs and additional background checks.

Rate Dr. Erin D. Ellis
Dr. Erin D. Ellis's Ratings
I went through two young oncologists at SCCA before I found Dr. Ellis, and I will never go back to SCCA! Dr. Ellis is exceptionally thoughtful, listens carefully to patient questions, and thoroughly explains options. Unlike doctors at SCCA, Dr. Ellis actually takes calls and answers questions directly, saving time and eliminating unnecessary office visits. She is extremely responsive, the nurses who work with her are friendly, compassionate, and professional, and Swedish Cancer Institute actually saves the best views for the infusion rooms, not the waiting rooms! Having undergone months of chemo at both SCCA and Swedish, I have to say that Swedish wins hands down, AND offers more clinical trials than SCCA. Dr. Ellis and Swedish Cancer Institute are simply Seattle's best.

Exactly a century ago, on October 3, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed the first modern federal income tax into law. The sky did not fall.
That may have surprised the eminences of the American plutocracy. For years they had predicted the most dire of consequences should the federal government begin taxing the incomes of America's most comfortable.
Those warnings took a shriller turn in 1909. A flurry of cynical congressional maneuvers sent the states a constitutional amendment, ostensibly designed to allow a federal income tax. Conservatives in Congress felt confident that the amendment had no chance of gaining enough state support to be ratified. To clinch the amendment's defeat, they unleashed a fierce rhetorical fusillade.
Friends of grand fortune would reserve a special venom for the notion of "progressive" taxation — the idea that high incomes should face the highest tax rates. They characterized a "graduated" tax on the incomes of America's affluent as "extortion," a "penalty upon ability and intelligence" and an imposition on a "small class of people powerless to defend itself." Taxing the wealthy, they contended, would be "killing the goose that laid the golden egg."
In the Virginia House of Delegates, Speaker Richard Byrd predicted that an income tax would put freedom itself in jeopardy. Any new income tax law, Byrd charged, "will of necessity have inquisitorial features."

With unemployment in Memphis once again hovering around 10 percent and putting a strain on state benefits, the number of people just throwing in the towel when it comes to finding work is growing. But, Garen Haddad, President of the 30-year old Gateway group personnel company in East Memphis, says don't give up. Get real about the approach you use and the resources you have to help find the opportunity that best suits your talents.
"What you should really do create a resume that speaks to those opportunities. Pulling out of your background those aspects that mirror the opportunity that's of interest."
Haddad's company has the numbers to back up his advice. Running both an executive search and temporary staffing divisions, Gateway is finding jobs for 80 to 100 clients a week in para-professional, office administrative positions and customer service. So, maybe you might have turned your nose up at taking a "Girl Friday" temp secretary gig? Well, the times they are a'changing in a streamlined workplace.
"We've seen a big up tick with companies using staff labor to help bridge the gap and really that temporary staffing resource can be a good idea for job-seeking professionals to identify employers, if not only for the long term, the interim."
You might get lucky enough to get one of those eventual 275 high-paying jobs at the newly opened Mitsubishi transformer plant. But, if you don't, it isn't the end of the world.
Haddad says, "Keep your expectations realistic. Whenever possible identify those positions that's appropriate and giving you enough opportunity to get your foot in the door with an employer to showcase your skills."
The greatest asset for a job-seeker is tenacity. You can't win the prize if you choose to stop trying.
"Realize that "no" is
part of the process", he said. "Too often I hear folks that are in between jobs
and they kind of give up. They get beaten down. The next "no" might
be the last "no" before the opportunity presents itself."
A position is better than no position and if you perform your employers will notice that and give you the growth opportunity you're looking at.

I love leftovers more than I love the actual dinner on the day of. This sandwich is one reason why…turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, sprouts and sunflower seeds.
We always do Turkey Terazzini too…over the years have developed one we love…maybe it's the bacon?
Hello – thanks so much for the link! I think I like TG day leftovers more than the actual meal. We made a double batch of that wild rice soup yesterday…I even make leftovers from my leftovers. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Great round-up and thanks for the mention!

Boy, seems like just yesterday I was talking about smart grid stuff. There's more news: Tendril Networks, a smart grid start-up, has announced all the goods on its networked in-home energy display, called Tendril Residential Energy Ecosystem (TREE). There are a lot of versions of in-home energy displays out already, but the technology is pretty new so each new version is only here viagra sales online pretty unique, at least in layout.
Tendril's in-home display takes the www.rickgenest.com basic system that shows energy use at a given moment and buy propecia where builds upon it, providing information on how much money a home is spending on electricity at a given moment. This speaks much more loudly to the average consumer, since everyone knows what dollars mean. The software works with utilities' back-office systems and devices that use ZigBee to generate the info. Tendril Insight, the actual display, reads information from advanced meters installed by the utilities to www.aco.ca give users their real time updates that can be accessed on the web, and the information can be compared to other similar households so the competition can really get roaring among neighbors.
Saving money on energy is going to get pretty darn easy with systems like that – and it won't cost too much to access. Tendril expects that by mid-2009, consumers with advanced meters can buy the viagra 50 mg tablets hardware for somewhere between $30 and $50. How much all the other bells and whistles cost, I'm not sure. And access is admittedly still limited, since users need to update their junky old meters, and it works with ZigBee-enabled appliances, which aren't yet universal.

Anacostia and Shaw Libraries Win Gold For Environmental Design
Published on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 9:48am
The Anacostia and Watha T. Daniel/Shaw libraries have been awarded LEED Gold for environmentally-friendly design. They're the 224th and 225th buildings, respectively, in D.C. to be certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design buildings, and the 10th and 11th District government buildings, respectively, to receive Gold certifications.
"The Library is happy to play a role in District having more green buildings per capita than any state in the US," said Ginnie Cooper, chief librarian of the District of Columbia. "As the number of people who use libraries in the District continues to increase, our new buildings can show how environmentally-friendly design can improve their experience."
LEED is the nation's preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. To date, every new building constructed by the DC Public Library and reviewed by the Green Building Certification Institute has received a Gold certification. Anacostia and Shaw join the Tenley-Friendship and the Dorothy I. Height/Benning neighborhood libraries, which received Gold certifications in September.
The Anacostia Neighborhood Library's green features include: a retention pond that lessens storm water runoff into the Anacostia River; energy efficient lighting; low-flow automatic faucets; air hand dryers and low-flow toilets in bathrooms; lots of natural light; recycled materials in flooring, countertops and wood finishes; bike racks; and easy access to public transportation.
The Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Neighborhood Library has a vegetative "green" roof that absorbs and slowly releases water into the city's sewage system, decreasing the amount of raw sewage that can flow into rivers and decreasing the likelihood of flooding during heavy rainfall. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and administered by the DC Department of the Environment, the roof also reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation in the building.
By using less energy and water, LEED certified buildings save District taxpayers money; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and contribute to a healthier environment.

Earnest Graham may have a few good years of football left in him.
But the Mariner High School graduate is thinking about calling it quits after eight NFL seasons.
"I'm just trying to decide if I want to continue playing," Graham said.
"It's been a long time for me. I've played almost nine seasons now. So, you know, with everything going on, I just feel good.
"I just feel blessed to be healthy. I'm enjoying time with my kids and doing my off the field things."
Graham and former North Fort Myers star Noel Devine were at Mariner's spring scrimmage game Saturday night after accepting an invitation from Mariner's coaching staff.
The last time Graham played in an NFL game was in a loss to the Chicago Bears in October in the NFL's annual game in London.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back ruptured his right Achilles tendon during that game and missed the rest of the season.
Graham had successful surgery and says he's about 85 percent back to where he was.
But even though several NFL teams have been in contact with the free agent running back, he may choose to retire.
"God has put so much on my plate," Graham said. I want to be able to come through on what I feel like I owe. What I feel like I need to do given what he's done for me.
"So I don't want to keep trying to push it- push it through. And then after the game, you can have things that unfortunately can happen that have happened to some other players.
"I've been blessed to not have any of those happen to me, and I kind of like it that way. I want to be able to really have a great time with my kids... a great time giving back to the community. So that's something I'm looking forward to."
Graham spoke with the Mariner players before the scrimmage.
He says he he told them to stick up for each other and to take advantage of their time together.
"I let those guys know my story has been, and all the things I wish I would have done and stepped up and did during that time," Graham said.
"So it was more of a speech for them to just take advantage of the moment."

Darksiders II review
Darksiders proved that you can successfully combine a mature storyline with Zelda-esque dungeon gameplay and some fast paced God of War combat. Vigil Games stepped it up for Darksiders II, adding even more content, a bigger map, more moves, a loot system and a brand new protagonist. The end result is an extremely satisfying action/adventure game with a gripping storyline. Darksiders... Read More

In the end, it's better to avoid creating stubborn dragons in the

are easier to slay than old ones. You may even slay several dragons before
you are happy that you have one you can live with.
