Our Thursday afternoon drive takes us down country roads, familiar paths we've traveled many times. Those roads lead to ranches, their entries marked by cattle guards. They pass by expanses of crop fields, wide open spaces as far as your eye can see. Excepting today. A dense fog managed to hide the familiar scenery and it gave the feeling that you just might drive off the edge of the earth at any moment. Cold, wet, and reminiscent of a Dickens' novel - nether sky of fog, with fog all around - I kept fighting the urge to rub my eyes and wipe away the haze. Even today's dim photos tell the story of the fog, one that's been lingering around here these last two days.
Another dank day, it called for Earl Grey and maple tea cakes for that long drive down the country roads and it seemed like a good idea to tuck away a stack of quilts for the three hour wait during piano lessons. Indeed. The littles built quilt-topped tents between the bench seats of the van. I cozied up in the driver's seat with my tea and knit (and finished the first sleeve on my cardigan!) while they told me stories, the silliest ones they could dream up.
Those hours of waiting - doing absolutely nothing but being together - it's a time I look forward to each week. No laundry or dishes or interruptions to distract me. Nothing needing my attention but them.

Death Metal: A Metalworking Studio about Destruction and Decay
Summer 2013
Just like the human body, metal can be deceivingly delicate and fragile: it melts, it bends, it dents, it dissolves, it rusts, and it decays. In this course, we explored everything from junkyards to graveyards, investigating the dangerous side of creating art and the various techniques surrounding breaking metal down and building metal up. Heavy metal? Nope. This was death metal.

Surfside Beach Vacation Home Rentals with Pool(305)
305 Results
Recent Surfside Beach Reviews
Great place, we have stayed there 2years in a row
We love this place. We have stayed two years now and are booked for the next. Home is clean and well maintained. I needed a pool for some of our family members and the beach for the others. We also have a tiny dog that has to go everywhere we go. Melanie the property manager will get back to you ASAP. We have had no problems. I am not understanding some of the complains. I'm a realtor and our office handles vacation homes too. I know what to look for, to tell how well a home is cared for. This home is clean , bath rooms, bedrooms, clean sheets and clean kitchen, they see to everything. I wanted to say more about some of the complains, but thought I better just leave it alone. We love the house and even if there is one bath downstairs, so what. It's now that far to walk up to your on room. We have two grandchildren ages 2&3 . We had no problem giving them baths. Pool was clean, I know because pool man came once while we were there. Boards on walk were getting some wear but not bad. They will replace a some boards every year. Owners have control over how hard the weather is on the walkway.. Each year repairs are made to keep home in good condition. If I had any questions, I called the manager and she responded very quickly. Nice place.
Perfect Beach Rental !!
Just returned from a week long stay at this property. We were drawn to this property because of the pool and it was perfect. Many of the other rentals either had a shared pool or it was much smaller in size. The beach was within walking distance and was very well kept. The home is well equipped with everything from beach towels to crock pots and the gas grill fired right up. Quiet neighborhood but nightlife was just a few blocks away. The booking process was simple and Kay was great to work with. This house is perfect for all ages! We will be repeat guests for sure.
Sunsational Tara is Sensational!
Great family vacation home for extended family with little ones. House is well maintained inside and out. Each bedroom with it's own bathroom was a great plus! Steps from the beach and a great pool! Hope to make this our yearly destination. Thanks Suzy!

Cain Rises at TeaCon 2011: Straw Poll Win, Communications Director Loss, Disagreements With Jack Roeser
October 1, 2011 | Filed Under Budget, Conservatives, Economy/Finances, Elections, GOP, Government, Herman Cain, Illinois, Illinois State Government, Michele Bachmann, President, Republicans, Taxes, Warner Todd Huston | 4 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
Herman Cain wins yet another straw poll of conservative activists. This time at Teacon 2011 held in a northwestern suburb of Chicago. There was no surprise that Cain won the straw poll, but there was some surprise fireworks in the media room and another surprise elsewhere in the Cain campaign as his long-serving Communications Director resigned over the weekend.
Herman Cain was the only candidate that decided to come in person, but to be honest, this crowd was a Cain hotspot even before that. Rep. Michele Bachmann sent in a video address that found favor with the crowd, too. But Cain and she were the only ones to give TeaCon 2011 the time of day.
The results, with over 77% of the vote, put Herman Cain in the lead. And in descending order was Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum — oddly enough President Obama came in next — and Jon Huntsman and Gary Johnson came in last.
As Erik Telford said on Twitter, "If you can't beat Obama in a tea party straw poll, it's probably time to end your campaign. (cc: Huntsman and Johnson)."
Ouch, indeed.
I was in the media availability room after Cain's rousing speech (or his "as always rousing speech," if you will) and it was interesting to note that Mr. Cain and one of the chief sponsors of the TeaCon event were not getting along very well. Long-time Chicago-area conservative activist Jack Roeser whose ChampionNews.net helped sponsor TeaCon 2011, was pressing Cain on his 999 plan and Cain wasn't having any of it.
Roeser and Cain had a private few minutes before the rest of the press was allowed in the room and it appeared that Mr. Roeser was none too happy with Cain's 999 plan in the meeting. Roeser was pressing the candidate to answer to his concerns. For his part, Cain kept repeating that he had answered the question. The situation was spared from getting any harrier as the door flung open for the rest of the press and we all piled into the room giving Cain the escape hatch of briskly turning his attention to the rest of us and away from Mr. Roeser.
I was one of the first into the room and saw the tail of the exchange between Roeser and Cain but I also knew what it was about. Mr. Roeser has been expressing concerns over Cain's 999 plan previous to the little tussle I witnessed.
To confirm my suspicions and to clear up the snippet I heard, I also spoke to Mr. Roeser afterward. He confirmed my assumptions. I will not, however, divulge the depth and exact details of our conversation — and it went farther afield than just Cain — because I did not ask if it was on the record, but I want to report why I am sure of what the argument with Cain was about.
Mr. Jack Roeser and your humble blogger after the Cain appearance
But even as Cain was visiting with us at TeaCon, something concerning his campaign was happening elsewhere. News emerged Saturday that Cain's Communications Director has suddenly resigned.
Now former Com. Director Ellen Carmichael is out of the Cain campaign and being replaced with one-time public affairs officer for the Department of Defense, J.D. Gordon.
Carmichael says the parting was amicable, but it is pretty clear to me that Carmichael, one of Cain's first hires in the early days of the campaign, has been ousted for a more seasoned hand at PR. Especially as the campaign is shifting into high gear with all the straw poll wins and the growing favorable press and exposure. Cain is obviously looking to polish the message and so out with the less experienced Carmichael and in with seasoned pro Gordon.
To wrap up this report, I was in the press availability room as mentioned. So here is the unedited video of the time we had there. (I missed about 20 seconds of the first question about his 999 plan.)

CLEVELAND, OH - AUGUST 31: Adrian Beltre #29 celebrates in the dugout after scoring on a single by David Murphy #7 of the Texas Rangers during the third inning against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive on August 31, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)
There's "hot", and then there's "Adrian Beltre".
Remember the tear Josh Hamilton was on back in April and May? That's what we're seeing right now from Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre.
Beltre hit a three-run homer early in Wednesday's win over the Kansas City Royals, then added an insurance run late after he tripled. Of course, a couple of weeks ago, Beltre made history when he became only the second player in history to hit for the cycle and have three homers in a game in the same week.
Now, he's creeping into the AL MVP race as a late charger in the race. On the season, he's now fourth in the AL in batting average (.318), seventh in home runs (29) and eighth in RBIs (88), not to mention the fact he's the best defensive third baseman in the game.
We've seen similar stretches like this from Beltre, including last September when he set the world on fire after missing all of August with an injury. Over that last month, he hit .374 with 12 home runs and 29 RBIs.
"We needed everything he gave to us tonight," Rangers manager Ron Washington said after the game. "I know he has been hot, but this is the hottest [streak] I've seen. He jumped from 19 homers to 29. He's just not missing his pitch."

AUSTIN >> Early campaign-finance disclosures Wednesday indicate that one Texas House race is likely to be very competitive and another might not be competitive at all.
Midnight marked the deadline for the first disclosures in advance of the March 4 primary.
Only four disclosures from El Paso County's three contested House primaries were available late Wednesday. But they shed light on the races, all of which are among Democrats.
Perhaps most telling was that Cesar Blanco, one of two candidates challenging state Rep. Naomi Gonzalez for her District 76 seat, raised $70,000. That was the most among the reports that were available, including state Rep. Joe Pickett, a committee chairman who has been in the House since 1995.
Pickett raised $49,000 between July 1 and Dec. 31.
Gonzalez's disclosure wasn't posted on the Texas Ethics Commission website by press time. She reported $10,750 in her war chest as of July 1.
The other candidate for District 76 -- Norma Chavez -- held the seat until Gonzalez defeated her in 2010. Chavez's disclosure also wasn't available Wednesday night, but her experience in the Legislature might mean she has the expertise to raise enough money to be competitive.
A challenger for another House seat -- the District 75 seat occupied by Mary González -- is an elected official, but his fundraising over the past six months was anemic. Rey Sepulveda, board president of the Fabens Independent School District, raised only $300 from a single donor -- Mark Grijalva.
Sepulveda loaned his campaign the $750 required to pay his filing fee, his disclosure report said.
Mary González' report for the entire period from July 1 to Dec. 31 wasn't available. Reports say she raised more than $22,000 during this summer's three special sessions and had $14,400 in the bank as of July 1.
The report for Lyda Ness-Garcia, challenger for the District 77 seat, also was not available.
State Rep. Marisa Márquez, the incumbent, has raised $67,000 over the past six months and spent $47,000. Márquez paid almost $29,000 to the Forma Group for campaign consulting and direct mail.
Márquez's biggest contribution was $10,000 from Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a group that advocates limits to the amounts that can be awarded in civil suits.
She also received $5,000 each from El Paso business leaders Paul Foster, Woody Hunt and Stanley Jobe.
The biggest single contribution to any member of the delegation for whom reports was available went to Pickett. He received $25,000 from the Texas Association of Realtors' political-action committee.
Pickett reported a $140,000 war chest -- the largest of any member of the delegation. The report for his challenger, Chuck Peartree, was not available.
Only the totals for Blanco were available at press time. The Times will break down contributions in the District 76 race further as reports become available.
District 78 state Rep. Joe Moody, who does not have a challenger, reported raising $30,000 over the past six months. He spent $15,500 and had $34,000 in cash on hand.

People all over the world will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.'s 81st birthday this weekend with ceremony and service, but only in Atlanta can dozens of kids celebrate with birthday cake and a story read by King's older sister, Christine King Farris.
Kids from pre-school to third grade gathered at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site this morning to see a puppet show about how life has changed for black children since King was a boy, and to hear "My Brother Martin." (Teachers went home with free copies of the book for their classrooms or libraries, too.)
The kids asked a lot of questions that remind how time and history look different when you're a kid: What happened to Martin Luther King Jr.'s parents? Do his kids live with his sister? Was he a slave?
The very first question, though, was repeated over and over: Why did Dr. Martin Luther King die? It's hard to make sense of it when you're young. Farris King and Park rangers agreed that it's hard when you're older, too.
Farris King ended her reading with a poem about her brother's intelligence, hard work and big dreams. She asked the kids to say the refrain with her.
You can be like Martin, yes you can. You can be like Martin, yes you can.
She kept on them till they were screaming it: "You can be like Martin, yes you can."
"And you believe that."
Want to go? Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site has several events and tours to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Free. Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, 450 Auburn Ave., Atlanta. 404-331-5190, www.nps.gov/malu.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
On the cliffs just north of the entrance to Stratholme, a ghostly human Priestess (Aerienne, ) in T1 Prophecy is performing the task of the epic priest quest-chain, healing the fleeing citizens of Stratholme while also destroying the undead who pursue them. She flickers in and out of Shadowform, her staff switching between Benediction and Anathema to match. She has a Lightwell by her side, and occasionally pops Archangel or Power Word: Barrier. The citizens get Renews and Power Word: Shield (with some occasionally dashing forward from Body and Soul), while a Prayer of Mending hops between them. Her enemies are getting Shackled, struck with bolts of Holy Fire, or getting torn apart by her trio of Shadowfiends. And if one of the undead should get too close... she swings for the bleachers and knocks the fool off the map.
Yeah, it's OP, but it's an epic solo event worth remembering, and an important lesson in what a Priest is both capable of and expected to do.

The topics listed are intended to provide a frame of reference for current Minerva interests and are not meant to be restrictive. Topics are not mutually exclusive and proposals may consider issues relating to questions, scope, or regions beyond those listed.
More detailed descriptions can be found in the FY14 Broad Agency Announcement.
I. Belief Propagation and Movements for Change
Recent developments in South Asia, West Africa, and the Middle East highlight the need for improved understanding of influence and mobilization, especially when leading to violence. Decreasing terrorism and political violence requires an understanding of the underlying forces that shape motivations and mobilize action. The United States and its partners must consider these cultural dynamics to effectively craft communications and operations that fulfill their intended purposes while mitigating potential unintended consequences.
(1-A) Belief formation and influence
Research on belief formation and emotional contagion may help analysts, policy makers, advisors, and trainers better understand the impact of operations on seemingly disparate populations. This research may also inform the development of countermeasures to help reduce the likelihood of militant behaviors.
(1-B) Group identities, cultural norms, and security
It is commonly understood that beliefs and behaviors are strongly shaped by cultural context, and these relationships can help inform policy-making. The Department of Defense seeks research to rigorously test the impact of cultural factors, to include identity and local norms, on beliefs and behaviors. Proposals providing contextualized analysis beyond modelization are encouraged.
The Department of Defense is interested in better understanding what drives individuals and groups to mobilize to institute change. In particular, models that explain and explore factors that motivate or inhibit groups to adopt political violence as a tactic will help inform understanding of where organized violence is likely to erupt, what factors might explain its contagion, and how one might circumvent its spread.
(1-D) The structural dynamics of disruptive organizations
II. Models of Societal Resilience and Change
The objective of this research track is to develop new insights into the social dynamics within states in general and authoritarian states in particular, and examinethe factors that impacti societal resilience, societal collapse, and the corresponding tipping points. The Department of Defense is interested in innovative frameworks and new data that may assist policymakers in developing improved methods for anticipating and identifying potential areas of unrest, instability, and conflict. Insights may inform strategic thinking about resource allocation for defense efforts and humanitarian aid as well as insights for national policy and engagement with both state and non-state actors before, during, and after transformations like those seen in recent regime transitions in North Africa and the Middle East.
(2-A) Economic contributors to stability
(2-B) Governance contributors to stability
(2-B) Energy, environment, and resource contributors to stability
(2-C) Additional factors impacting societal resilience and stability
III. Theories of Power and Escalation
The objective of this research track is to offer new theories, models, and approaches to power projection and conflict escalation that consider strategic behavior between various transnational actors across domains in a globalized, rapidly interconnecting, and cyber-enabled world. For rising military powers, this research will yield a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and historical factors that define strategic priorities, drive approaches to international engagement, and shape state-internal balances of power between political, military, and industrial forces.
(3-A) The changing role of the state in a globalizing world
Phenomena such as the "flattening" of labor markets and the increasing flow of people across state borders (whether through immigration or as refugees) have influenced demographics and created global communities that transcend traditional state boundaries. At the same time, the global diffusion of power is yielding a multipolarity of global leadership with its own broad implications. Targeted study may yield new models for effective state behavior in this changed global landscape.
(3-B) Beyond conventional deterrence
The objective of this research track is to offer new theories, models, and approaches to escalation and deterrence theory that incorporate strategic behavior among international actors across new and traditional geographic domains.
IV. Emerging Topics in Conflict and Security
Just as the Cold War gave rise to new ideas and fields of study such as game theory and Kremlinology, the challenges facing the world today call for a broader conception and application of national power that goes beyond military capability. Accordingly, the Department of Defense is interested in new approaches and methods to identify issues that have been overlooked yet may define the future security environment.
(4-A) Quantification and metrics
The Department of Defense seeks fundamental interdisciplinary research in the context of defense-critical problems to inform and create quantification (how one chooses numbers or vectors or points on manifolds to represent social phenomena) and metrics (how "close" two social phenomena are to each other) that are based on sociological and socio-cognitive principles.
The Department of Defense Minerva program welcomes additional research proposals addressing other areas of international affairs, international security, and national security that are newly emerging or have not been properly understood.
Learn how to submit proposals for new research related to these topics.
Q: How do you pick these topics?
The Minerva Research Initiative aims to target its funded research at the most important fundamental knowledge gaps impacting national security. Each spring the Minerva program staff invites government communities of interest to send ideas for topics the Minerva program might prioritize for future university research solicitations. These suggested topics (or the research questions that could be distilled) make up the bulk of the priority research topics currently listed.
To submit ideas or learn more about this process, contact Minerva staff.

miles southwest of Fort Polk Army Airfield. The aircraft was part
of a six-ship, unopposed surface-attack training mission, and was
assigned to the 147th Fighter Wing at Ellington Field in
The engine turbine blade failed because of fatigue, although
there were no external signs of excess fatigue during routine
inspections, according to the Aircraft Investigation Board

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
5 Foods That Make You Fat, 5 That Don't
June 22, 2011 -- Avoiding weight gain as you age isn't impossible, after all.
If you yearn to be among those who sail through the years without picking up a pound for each birthday, Harvard doctors have a game plan for you. And it goes far beyond the old "eat less, exercise more" mantra.
Reducing your intake of specific foods, sleeping 6 to 8 hours nightly, getting some exercise, and turning off the TV all predicted less weight gain with time, they found.
They also found five foods strongly linked with weight gain and five others linked with less than average weight gain.
''The message here is that the type and quality of food and beverage one eats are incredibly important," says researcher Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
The new research, he says, ''shows how multiple lifestyle factors, including diet, were related to long-term weight gain."
The study appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Avoiding Weight Gain: Study Details
The researchers wanted to focus on what leads to long-term weight gain and why the average adult gains about a pound a year.
They tracked 120,000 participants in three studies, the Nurses' Health Study, the Nurses' Health Study II, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Every four years, they evaluated the links between changes in lifestyle habits and weight.
On average, the study participants gained an average of 3.35 pounds over each four-year period. That added up to nearly 17 pounds after 20 years. At the start of the three studies, the men and women's average ages were 37, 50, and 52.
5 Foods That Make You Fat; 5 That Don't
When the researchers looked more closely, they found five foods associated with the greatest weight gain over the study period:
- Potato chips
- Other potatoes
- Sugar-sweetened beverages
- Unprocessed red meats
- Processed meats
They also found five foods linked with less gain and even weight loss:
- Vegetables
- Whole grains
- Fruits
- Nuts
- Yogurt
Deciphering the Findings
"There were huge differences in four-year weight gains based on what people did," he says. "The quantity of fat in the food didn't seem to be strongly related to weight gain." For instance, no differences were seen for low-fat or skim milk compared to whole-fat milk.
Rather, he says, focusing on the quality of food -- not simply total calories, or fat grams, or grams of carbohydrates -- seems most important in avoiding weight gain.
They write: "A habitual energy imbalance of about 50 to 100 kilocalories per day may be sufficient to cause the gradual weight gain seen in most persons."
Yogurt was perhaps the biggest surprise on the list of foods linked with less weight gain, Mozaffarian says. The researchers aren't sure why. They cite some other research finding that changes in gut bacteria from eating yogurt may help in weight control. Or those who eat yogurt may have other healthy habits.

No matter how many times I give up chocolate for Lent, it's still a challenge. But lately I've been feeling like I need to stretch myself a little more. In fact, I confided in my pastor that sometimes I find myself "going through the motions" in my spiritual life. And you know what he told me? He said I needed to "shake things up a bit." He said that when we start feeling distracted or disconnected in our faith, then it's time to dig a little deeper. Time to try something different to draw closer to Christ.
So, in the interest of shaking things up, here are a few unusual ideas for Lent. And, no, I'm not committing to all of them myself this season. I'm taking on just a few of these ideas. But I thought I'd share my brainstorm with you – in case you are looking to dig deeper in your faith in a different way.
Seven Unusual Ideas for Lent
1. Pray for 40 people. Make a list of 40 people you want to pray for. Commit to praying 40 minutes a day for one person per day. That's actually a really long time for me to pray, so I won't attempt to do it all at once. I'll probably break it into four different sessions of 10 minutes. And one of those sessions might be a written prayer in my journal – or even a letter to that person to let them know I'm praying for them.
2. Go meatless for 40 days. I've always thought I had it easy during Lent because it's no big deal for me to fast from meat on Fridays. I really don't eat much meat – I don't eat red meat at all, but occasionally I eat chicken or turkey. But what if – and I'm not making a commitment here – but what if I fasted from all meat for Lent. Would that be any more of a sacrifice? What if I avoided all animal products, including fish, dairy and eggs? That would be a challenge. Something to consider. What kind of change in your diet would stretch you? (If you're fasting from meat, I found a bunch of meatless recipes here from CRS Rice Bowl!)
3. Go on a digital fast. This is something I probably need to do, but I'm not ready to take on this year. I've been using Rescue Time to track my productivity and have been shocked to discover that I spend between 4 and 7 hours a week on social media! And that's just on my desktop – it doesn't include the time I check Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter on my mobile. Clearly, I have some work to do in this arena. If I could fast from social media, imagine how much time I would have to spend with my family, read the Bible, exercise or even take a nap! Maybe next year…
4. Spread the word. Lent is typically a time to go inward – to examine our own spiritual walk. But as Christians we are called to evangelize and to share our journey with others. So why not make a commitment to share the word of God with 40 people during Lent. Or, if you're not planning to go on a digital fast, then here's a great way to have fun while sharing your faith. Check out the Lenten Photo a Day Challenge on Instagram and Pinterest! Or try this Lenten Photo Challenge and you might win an Easter basket from CRS Fair Trade. [Read more...]

As Emirates continue to refine their network, more A380′s seem to be serving more destinations.
Their next stop seems to be at Brisbane as part of a stopover onto Auckland. The timetable looks like this:
EK434 DEPART DXB 10:25 ARRIVE BNE 06:05+1 DEPART 07:50+1 ARRIVE AKL 14:15+1 EK435 DEPART AKL 18:30 ARRIVE BNE 19:15 DEPART 21:00 ARRIVE DXB 05:20+1 Effective from 1st October 2013 Booked equipment: Airbus A380 Equipment until 30th September: Boeing 777-300ER Changes from Aukland start 1 day later.
There is also another result with this change – and that's Aukland will have a 3x daily service to Dubai with Airbus A380 equipment.
The Dubai – Brisbane – Auckland service will be operated with a 489 seater A380 on this route.
For Brisbane and Aukland, it's more capacity that Emirates will be happy to sell.
2 Responses to "Emirates to introduce A380 to Brisbane"
"Equipment until 31st September: Boeing 777-300ER"
Does someone want to tell them that there are only 30 days in September?
And it shows I've been fiddling with active directory to much today… Adjusted… Thanks!

Lesson 27: CTRL, ALT, Function Keys and the Mouse in Excel
On your keyboard you see some function keys at the top (F1, F2...). Some of these keys perform interesting functionalities in Excel. Other interesting functionalities in Excel are activated when you hold the CTRL or the ALT key while pressing on some letters. The right click of the mouse also gives access to nice functionalities.
Here are these shortcuts by order of importance. I use the ones at the top of the list every day.
CTRL/x cuts (and deletes) the value or formula in a cell or set of cells to be pasted somewhere else.
CTRL/c picks up the value or formula of a cell or a set of cells to be pasted somewhere else.
CTRL/v pastes (I call it CTRL/Velcro)
CTRL/f to find a value in a row a column (that you have selected) or a sheet. To find a value in the whole workbook select all sheets (see how below).
CTRL/h to find and replace.
ALT/Enter to force a line break within a cell.
The F4 key allows you to add dollar signs to addresses AUTOMATICALLY. See chapter 11 on absolute and relative references.
CTRL/a selects all the cells of a sheet. You can also use your mouse and click on the small gray square between the " 1" and the " A" at the top left corner of the sheet.
CTRL/Arrow Down will send you to the last cell in a column
Shift/CTRL/Arrow Down will select all the cells from where you are in the column to the last non-empty cell of the column
Apply the same logic to Up arrow, the Right arrow and the Left arrow
CTRL/Enter: Select many cells and then enter a value in the formula bar (just above the sheet on your screen). Hold the CTRL key and click Enter. The same value is entered in all the cells.
To replace a word just click on it and start writing its replacement. No need to delete it.
Many different contextual menus are available when you use the right button of the mouse. Right click on a chart, a cell, the columns and rows headings, a text box....right click on everything and you will discover wonders.
When you select a cell, many cells, a row or a column you can right click on the mouse and discover the VERY important " Clear Contents" . This functionality doesn't make the selection disappear like the " Delete" functionality it just clears the contents of the selected item. When you start working with Excel databases and automated reports using SUMPRODUCT it is vital that you use " Clear Contents" instead of " Delete" .
To select 2 or more cells that are not contiguous click on the first one hold the CTRL key down and select the others.
To select many contiguous cells click on the first one hold the SHIFT key and click on the last one.
To select 2 or more sheets click on the tab of the first one hold the CTRL key down and select the others. The word [Group] appears beside the workbook name at the top of your screen. To deactivate the grouping click on any single tab. When a group of sheets is selected anything you enter in cell A1 of the active sheet (for example) is also entered on the other sheets.
To select all the sheets click on the tab of the first one hold the SHIFT key and click on the tab of the last one.
If you have deactivated the calculation "Tools/Options/Calculation/Manual" and you want a sheet to be recalculated use the F9 key.

Sinking Battleship Beauty
After appearing in 2011′s Just Go With It, Brooklyn Decker seems to have caught the acting bug as she embarks on a world tour to promote her new film, Battleship. The Sports Illustrated model also seems to have caught the hair color bug. At the action movie's Korea premiere today, Decker was business up front, sporting a tousled updo and a glossy nude lip, and party in back, weaving hot magenta accents through her strands. As previously mentioned, Charlotte Free is pretty much the only person whose pink hair doesn't rub us the wrong way, but even if that weren't the case, Decker's implementation of the bubble-gum streaks would still be confusing with her elegant, backless black lace gown and classic, dewy makeup. Call us square, but they just seem to add a totally unnecessary edge—right?

Indonesia's tobacco manufacturers on Tuesday began printing graphic health warnings on packets, as the health ministry embarked on more serious measures to reduce the number of smokers in the country.
JAKARTA: An Indonesian law requiring manufacturers to display pictorial health warnings on cigarette packs came into force on Tuesday, but anti-smoking campaigners said the rule was widely ignored.
The government had given the tobacco industry 18 months to comply with the 2012 regulation on tobacco control, which demands pictures or graphics on packs to warn about the hazards of smoking in addition to written warnings.
A government survey last year showed that 36 percent of the population aged above 15 smoke, with average consumption of 12 cigarettes a day.
"The aim is to provide the community with honest and accurate information in the form of pictures so they can decide (whether or not to smoke)," Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi told reporters.
The government hopes to reduce the number of first-time smokers as health ministry data indicates that 18 per cent are just 10 and 14 years old when they first light up and start smoking.
To combat this, a government regulation issued in 2012 states that at least 40 per cent of cigarette packaging should be covered with graphic health warnings.
An anti-tobacco group however said compliance has been low so far.
The National Commission on Tobacco Control said only six out of more than 3,800 cigarette products have the graphic warnings displayed.
"The government should enforce the law, there should be no tolerance even for the richest businessmen who violated the law," commission member Hakim Sorimuda Pohan told AFP.
A written statement released by Philip Morris Indonesia, one of the largest cigarette producers in the country, says they are supportive of the health warnings.
However, the company says it doesn't agree with picture sizes that are excessive as they still need space to feature their logos.
Dr Lily Sulistyowati, Director of Centre for Health Promotion at the Indonesian Health Ministry, said: "In other countries the regulations on cigarette packaging also require pictorial health warnings. The local cigarette industry must comply with the rules if they want to export their products."
The health minister has warned that all cigarette packaging without the health warnings would be taken off store shelves.
So far, 208 cigarette brands were notified and have reported they will comply with the new regulations.

Today's guests:
Two female Army officers have filed a lawsuit against the Defense Department for banning women from combat. They call the policies unconstitutional and say their careers have been stunted because of them. They claim some women are actually in more danger because they're denied combat training but wind up in the battle anyway. David Berteau offers his take on the case.
Surveys show federal senior managers are not thrilled about their salary freezes. But pay is more or less the same no matter what agency you work for. That means other factors enter into work and job satisfaction. A Partnership for Public Service report is out this morning with a comprehensive look at pay and benefit satisfaction among you and your colleagues.

More SESers say pay, benefits not attractive enough
A new report shows veterans are waiting longer for disability benefits, despite recent attempts by Veterans Affairs and the Defense Department to speed up the process. Veterans are growing frustrated and concerned. They're not the only ones. Lawmakers are taking VA to task as veterans return home from war with pressing mental-health needs. Jeremy Herb, who covers veterans' issues for The Hill newspaper, discusses the issues and ideas floating around Capitol Hill.
VA exaggerated how quickly it saw mental-health patients, report finds
The Environmental Protection Agency is working to find jobs for vets in a field you might not have thought about — water and wastewater management. It's a joint effort between the EPA and the Department of Veterans Affairs to open up opportunities in an industry where demand for labor is growing.

Like, Elementary's Sherlock and Joan are coming from a completely different place and have built up their relationship on completely different terms than BBC's Sherlock and John. You can't substitute one speech for the other and have it have the same meaning without the context behind it, despite them all being different versions of the same characters.
Elementary's Sherlock and Joan are both starting off from their lowest points personally and career-wise. Their relationship is entirely professional and strictly conditional at first. For them to both independently recognize "hey, this person makes me feel happy and fulfilled in a way I haven't for a long time" is significant because it's admitting to a shift in their relationship, from professional/conditional to friendship and a mutual acknowledgement of "hey, I do actually like spending time with you even when I'm not obligated to."
BBC's Sherlock and John are never really obligated to spend time with one another. From the beginning, John chooses to accompany Sherlock, Sherlock enjoys John's company (and the ego-stroking that comes with it) and their friendship forms pretty fast, even if it takes a whole season and a half to say those exact words.
To give this version of Sherlock Elementary!Sherlock's speech to Joan would ring false because there aren't sixteen episodes worth of buildup to this point with their characters. There isn't a need for an acknowledgement of a shift in their relationship from professional to almost familial because BBC Sherlock and John didn't have that same journey and were already friends by the end of episode 1.

Marital Status: Married, No Children
Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii
Profession: Student
Trying to Conceive: Over a year
Absidi has been trying for over a year to get pregnant with no success. She is married to a marine in the U.S. Marine Corps and has been labeled "Military Base Mommy" by the fellow soldiers' wives. She hosts all the baby showers for her friends on base and is in the delivery room when the other base moms have their babies especially if their husbands are deployed. Absidi is VERY frustrated and emotionally exhausted from trying to get pregnant. She is so consumed with trying to conceive so much that her friends and family are afraid to tell her if they become pregnant trying to avoid upsetting her. She also says trying to get pregnant has ruined her sex life and feels it's unfair everyone else is getting pregnant, while she is not.
Absidi: My name is Absidi and I am 22 years old. I was born in Hawaii, but moved to Arizona when I was 3 years old. When I turned 15, my dad was offered a job on an Indian reservation in New Mexico, where I moved with him. After I graduated from high school, I decided I wanted to move back to Hawaii to continue my education. I had saved up enough money to buy my plane ticket and pay for my first month of rent. I had saved up the money completely by myself and moved by myself. It was definitely an adventure!
In the beginning of October, I met my husband, Joel. He is 23 years old and a United States Marine. We ended up going on a date the next day, and started dating that night. Three weeks later, he flew me to West Virginia to meet his family. Then, one month and 12 days after we met, we got married! I never would have thought that my life would have moved this fast! He was just so amazing and he was everything I had ever wanted in a man. So there I was, 19 and married.
Then we found out that Joel was going to have to go back to Iraq. It was definitely a tough thing to prepare for. The first time he was there, he had seen some pretty bad stuff, and had even lost a close friend of his. So as we were preparing for him to go back, we decided we wanted to try to conceive. At that time, we were still new to married life, and we hadn't really considered having a child so soon. We had thought of all of the different choices we had, and we decided that if heaven forbid anything were to happen to him, I wanted a piece of him forever. Something like that is so hard to think about, but with him being a "grunt" or infantry marine, he was on the front lines and had a higher chance of not coming home.
We started trying, and when it came time for him to deploy, we hadn't conceived yet. We figured that it was God's way of telling us we weren't ready, and we just prayed for his safe return. When he finally came home, we kind of just let things happen naturally. I didn't take birth control, and we just let whatever happens, happen. As his reenlistment time came closer, he wanted to reenlist, and I was supportive of that decision. He reenlisted into a non-deployable unit. That meant that for the next four years, he'd be non-deployable for the first three, and on that fourth year, he'd go back to a deploying unit. He decided that this was the perfect time to have a child because he would be here for the whole pregnancy, which a lot of marines aren't able to do.
During the time that I was trying to conceive, four of my military-wife friends had gotten pregnant, two of my friends back home, and all three of my sister-in-laws. Two of the girls here in Hawaii were afraid to tell me they were pregnant because they didn't want to upset me. One of my best friends back home had waited three months to tell me because she knew how hard we had been trying and she was afraid I'd be mad. When they told me their fears, it made me so sad. They were my friends and I felt like they thought I was some baby-crazed woman who couldn't be happy for anyone but me. Although I was happy for them and not mad, I couldn't help but feel let down -- not one of them was trying. I was also designated the "mommy marine wife" -- I was the one who threw all of the baby showers. I felt like even though these women were away from their families, they should still be pampered and feel special because having a baby is such a precious thing. I planned each of their showers, bought them the biggest gifts, AND took all the pictures. On top of planning the baby showers, all four of the women had asked me to be in the delivery room with them and take pictures. During their pregnancies, I would sometimes fill in for their husbands. Due to training and long hours, their husbands couldn't always go to appointments with them. I'd take them to their appointments, gush over sonogram pictures, and get teary-eyed listening to the heartbeats with them. I was honored that they wanted me to be there for them, but on the inside it was taking all of my strength not to cry. I just couldn't understand why I wasn't getting pregnant.
The process wasn't only hard on me, but it was hard on my husband as well. Every month when it was time for me to test, Joel would get so excited. He'd get this gleam in his eye, and say to me, "I know it's this month, baby, I know it! I can feel it!" It would be so hard opening the bathroom door and having to tell him I wasn't pregnant. He would look so confused and sad. I felt bad because I think I would convince myself I was pregnant. I'd get weird cravings, I'd have to pee a lot, I'd get sick in the mornings, my boobs would hurt, and I'd even be late on my period very frequently. He'd get so excited that if I said I wanted ice cream, he'd rush to the store at 1 AM to fulfill my craving because he'd think it was a baby. The hardest time, which I'll never forget: I had tested when he was at work so I wouldn't have to get his hopes up even more. It came up negative, so I threw it away and prepared myself to tell him. When he came home, he had been talking about how it was time for me to test. I told him I had already tested, and I wasn't pregnant. He kept saying, "No, you have to be. You have to be. I know you are." Then he told me he had to see it for himself. I watched him go to the trash can and check the test. He held it for a while, then finally put it down. He walked over to me, with tears in his eyes, and said he didn't understand. I didn't know what to tell him -- right then I didn't feel like a woman. I felt like I wasn't fulfilling my womanly duties.
I have been in the delivery room for four babies. I've thrown numerous baby showers, and I have two more that I will be throwing within the next few months. I will be in the delivery room again in July with another one of my marine-wife friends. My sister-in-law just told us she's pregnant again. I am honestly happy for every single one of them, but it breaks my heart that it's not happening to me. I am married to the man of my dreams; we have a beautiful home, steady income, and will have no problem getting health care for a child. I pretty much raised my sisters by myself because my mother wasn't around, so I am very familiar with babies and children. I watch my husband around other kids and I have no doubt in my mind that he will be an amazing father. I just hope that our time will come soon, so we can start our own family and I can experience firsthand what I am always helping other women with.

Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!! I saw this dress when I went to try on dresses for the first time. My fiancee was there and I was overwhelmed so I did not get to try it on. The second time I went in, I had my best friend, my sister and my mother in law. This dress is the only one I cried in. I love it so much. When it arrived, I went to pick it up and wanted to try it on. It fit like a glove and I started crying again. I love this dress so much and I can not wait for my wedding day!!!! June 8, 2011
This is "The One" This dress is gorgeous! It's everything I wanted in a dress: classic yet modern, easy, comfortable, stunning. I was looking for something simple and elegant, but with a wow factor. This has everything! I actually had my heart set on some fit and flare styles but none of them looked right. This dress came out of left field and when I looked at myself in the mirror, I knew this was the one! I can't wait for my fiance to see me in this dress! May 31, 2011
Not for everyone, but definitely for me!! I bought this dress right after I got engaged in January of this year. It's perfect! But there are some things you should be aware of. MAKE SURE you ask whether or not you will get the same flower that is detailed on the dress in the store. Mine originally wasn't because the dress I tried on in the store was an older model of the dress. I went to the store with my dress when I saw the differences in the flowers and they were happy to fix the problem for me, no cost! Just make sure you tell them you want that specific dress model. This is the perfect dress for anyone looking for a ballgown, but is tiny and afraid of looking like a cake topper (I'm 5'3" and about 95lbs.). May 27, 2011
Beautiful! I just ordered this dress in a size 2, it's soooo gorgeous on! the only thing thats different from the picture is the details, they aren't as pretty but with a little diy to it, it's perfect... i also added a sash so theres a bow in the back :] May 19, 2011

I honestly don't think it's conspiracy theorist at all, Shrike! Someone earlier also said they are willing to do such large numbers to quell those that wouldn't stop complaining, so instead of doing it in the process they wanted, they'll let everyone in.
Where stuff won't be fun, so those that truly don't want to test will go away. I'm hopeful they'll go away sooner rather than later, as I had fun doing beta testing in Cataclysm! I was hoping I'd get in sooner (still no invite) as I was in one of the (if not the) first waves of Cata invites.
But if reports of overcrowding and lag are to true, then I'm happy to wait for them to leave. :-)

Low-Technology Prototyping Techniques
The fundamental concept underlying these collaborative, low- technology approaches to design is that no one person can embody all the knowledge required to design a successful product. Through reciprocal education, reciprocal preparation, and reciprocal validation, each participant contributes knowledge and in turn is shaped by the contributions of others. Concrete visualization reduces ambiguity and also ensures that the design proceeds to specifics, rather than becoming mired in abstractions. (2001-03-11)

Every time Riku wags his finger around like a big dork after leveling up in Re:Chain of Memories this is all I can think of:
Which KH game is your favorite?
As of right now it is a tie between Birth By Sleep and Chain of Memories. :)
Birth by Sleep because I loved the darker story and getting to see the origin of the Xehanort saga, getting to go to some of my favorite worlds (Lilo and Stitch <3), and then of course the battle system was incredible! The best up to that point, since it seems like DDD will be passing it up. Also I am a total Aqua fanboy, so getting to play as her is always a plus! And I hope we get to again in a future game because I just loved her character :)
As for Chain of Memories, I loved the story and character development in that game. It still probably has my favorite overall story of the series. It some of the best character development for Sora out of any of the games, plus it really developed the villains by constantly switching to cutscenes of them between floors. Also, the battle system was very different, I enjoyed how strategic it was.
