We are advised to travel light when we undertake a journey.Why can't we travel light in our lives too to make it beautiful and enjoyable?
If we travel light the journey is enjoyable. In the journey of life i want to travel with no burden on my body or mind. Burden on body is due to sickness and obesity. Burden on mind is due to possesions and relationships.
"With no burden on body and mind
I want to travel and unwind"

Feb 16 2013: I have found that I am naturally wanting to divest myself of the chains that possessions form. Little by little, I give the excess away, with the goal of stripping my home of all but essentials. I would like to take the practice further, but in this country (USA), homelessness is illegal - in that you can be arrested for being a vagrant just about everywhere.
I admire the teaching, but it is in conflict with the US cultural paradigm.
Feb 18 2013: Not necessarily we have to leave our home but we can practice dettachment in the midst of everything. We have to leave the ownership from our mind, and thats the reality, no body owns anything in this world.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children attend Crestview Elementary School, we switched from St. Pats and the experience has been very rewarding for my children. The teachers respond to my questions and concerns and they have kept my informed from day 1. The staff has been great too.
I moved to PA less than a year ago. Crestview is a great school, the staff are great and my daughters love their new school
Wonderful School, My kids love the teacher. The staff keeps you up to date on anything you need to know
I moved here as a military family and have been absolutely impressed with this school, the teachers, the PTO, and the students. We have a special needs child and the school did everything they could to help him while he combats cancer. The principal, Ms. Holly, is outstanding as are all the teachers, aids, staff and other assistants. I would select this school district in looking for a home in Carlisle. Thanks Crestview!
Crestview is an excellent school. The staff are very involved with all the children-not just their own assigned students. Mrs. Holly is very involved in the day to day running of the school. They have a lot of family events that are always lots of fun. Crestview has an excellent support staff, who are commited to helping their students succeed.
Crestview Elementary principal leadership and involvement is the best we have observed in three different districts we have lived. Miss Holley knows her students by name and is involved in ALL aspects of the school days from busses arriving, serving lunch, and students departing each day. Teachers are engaged and caring. They are committed to developing all the children to their full potential. We were very impressed with the school's 'Learner to Leader' program which promotes life-long learning to make a positive difference in the world. Discipline and safety standards are enforced positively. School spirit and patriotism sets the standard.
I want to give the over all teachers qualities 9. They tried really hard and my children are doing great.

Hugh Grant knows ... it's rude to interrupt someone during a meal ... so he did his best not to bother this suckling baby during a photo with a fan.
The pic was shot this weekend at the Castle Inn pub in Dover, England -- which features "Pudding Day" on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
We're told the woman in the pic is the pub owner's wife -- who clearly had no problems whipping out her baby feeders inside the establishment.
Boobs -- it's what's for dinner.
Natural, yes. I little bit creepy, yes!
Knowing Huge, I'm sure he took his turn after the cameraman left.
So it's immature if a woman chooses to only expose her breasts to her baby and her husband? A "mature" woman plops her puppies out for the world to see? Happy to be in the immature category...
Good for her! And good for Hugh for keeping his eyes facing the camera! :)
This is such a cultural taboo in the US....and hardly anywhere else. The middle east, maybe? Nothing makes me more sad than hearing women chastise other women for feeding their babies in public. Get over it people. That's what it's made for. If more women would do it, unapologetically, everyone would just be accustomed to it, like in Europe, and all the drama would die down. Seriously. GET OVER IT! IT'S A BREAST!
What a sweet picture! I like him more now. Some of the ignoramuses on this site though I like much less.
Love that people who read TMZ find a momma breastfeeding offensive yet I see Jessica Alba in a thong, Kim K with a dress so tight you can see through it, an Olympian with her butt exposed all posted right below this photo. Gosh hypocrites much? Sorry but not everyone wants to cover up with a blanket. It gets freaking hot and my baby just pulls it off anyways. If you don't like it don't look, or hell go put a bag over your head. Not all babies take bottles either and bottle feeding is unnatural. I have NIP since day 1 and no one has seen my nipple/breast.
4 weddings and a blow job is one of my all time fave films
Funny how people are ok with this yet they had such a HUGE problem with Katy Perry and her cleavage on Sesame Street...
If you're udders are exposed most of the time your kids already know what a boob looks like so maybe YOU should get over it.
I just love these people who talk out of their asses. They don't let their kids see anything explicit and as a society we have been banned from expressing ourselves in many ways but how is it OK to walk around with a big old floppy tit hanging out while it is being sucked on, no less. Actually, some men get quite aroused from watching too. Which I personally seem to think this is the reaction these women are going for anyway. Like hell, not because it's good for the baby bullcrap. Taking a crap, having sex, being nude are all natural too. If I don't allow my child to look at bikini clad models, which actually I really don't care if he does, then why would I want him to look at some strangers tit? Hello.... to you it's not offensive, but ever stop to think that you might be offending others right to privacy? Anyway, majority of these women are so uptight, overweight and unattractive they'll take any attention they can get.
This is disgusting. Not even to have enough respect for herself an d others to cover up. She seems like a exhibitionist.
People have bowel movements too, but they don't whip their asses out and do it in public. This woman is a cow.
Put your clothes on *******...No one wants to see you masturbate, or see you jerk your lousy tit around.,,,,...nasty ****...F you and your baby...
Please cover up women. It's about being modest and appropriate in public. I am all for breast feeding because its wonderful but I do not want to see your infant sucking on your nipple/ breast. I am a woman and I think it's inappropriate. There are plenty of cover ups out there that make it convenient for the mother to feed her baby in public.
Hell ya! Support NIP!

You are looking at a Fender Custom Shop 1960 Closet Classic Stratocaster Electric Guitar Faded Surf Green, serial number R68739. This is the actual guitar you will receive should you decide to purchase. (7 lbs, 8.3 oz.)This 1960 Closet Classic Strat yields a sense of nostalgia, taking you back to pre-CBS era Fender, where the legendary Stratocaster was only a few years old. The body of this Strat is crafted from 2-piece lightweight Alder and is finished in faded surf green Closet Classic lacquer finish to give this Strat the appearance of a vintage guitar that's been long-lost but was then rediscovered years later. The maple neck of the '60s Closet Classic Strat is carved into an oval "C" shape, which was a particularly popular neck profile featured on Fender guitars in the mid 1960s. The neck employs a 9.5" radius, dark Indian Rosewood fingerboard and 21 Sanko 6105 frets with classic white dot inlays. The '60s Strat comes equipped with 3 single-coil '60s Closet Classic Strat pickups to deliver that distinctive vintage Strat tone, and a reverse wound/reverse polarity pickup in the middle position to help reduce any unwanted noise. The '60s Closet Classic Stratocaster features slightly aged hardware that resembles the natural wear of a lightly used 40+ year old guitar.

Prayer goes out to everyone in the United States Armed Forces.
Submitted by Paul Deaton
Prayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldier – Soldiers Prayer
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among men, most richly blessed.
At the end of the U.S. Civil War, this prayer was found folded in the pocket of a Confederate Soldier.

- Active memory, normal memory that qualifies the parameters of the LRU( least recently used algorithm ). Recently accessed memory is keept on board, memory that ages by not being accessed has a LRU number and will eventually move to the INACTIVE catagory.

BOLD's Cinco de Mayo celebration is the best of both worlds
OLIVIA -- Against all odds, a Mexican army repelled a far larger French force in the 1862 Battle of Pueblo and set the stage for what today is a celebration of Mexican pride known by its anniversary date, Cinco de Mayo.
No one knew what the odds against them were when new Spanish instructor Fay Kuznia and her students launched the celebration in the Olivia High School in 1977, but 35 years later the results are known: It's still a hit.

Business Ideas in the News / March 3, 2006
The other day I saw an advertisement for a new retail store owned by a granite quarry. They were selling countertops and paving stones made of their own granite directly to consumers. I was flabbergasted — a stone quarry becoming a retailer!
This ad made me realize, once again, just how tough it is to be a middleman in today's economy.
If you run a business that distributes products between manufacturers and sellers, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You're almost certainly working harder and harder to serve fewer customers. And you're seeing your income continue to drop.
That's because the retail world has dramatically changed.

Gulp. It happens at different ages for different kids, but sooner or later every single one of them becomes way too smart to think that babies are dropped off on our doorsteps by the stork.
And even though it's not an easy conversation to have, we owe it to our children to tell them the truth and lay out the whole birds and the bees thing for what it actually is.
You know ... (sex).
Ahh! My eyes! After seeing this list written by a class of second graders for tips on how to fall in love, I'm not sure whether to laugh out loud or cry into my beer. My own second grader might already know this much about what happens when men and women have the hots for each other.
Given that most second graders are 7 or 8 years old, you wouldn't think they had much of a clue about the birds and the bees, but based on this particular note, it's clear that I'm not giving them nearly enough credit.
Can we talk about condoms? We know you have questions. We've all heard they're incredibly effective in preventing pregnancy, and you probably know that they're the only contraception that also protects you from sexually-transmitted diseases like HIV and HPV. But what about all those other condom questions, the ones we're usually too embarrassed to ask?
We brought all our awkward, offbeat, and newbie questions about condoms to sex therapist and host of CafeMom Studios' Mom-Ed: In the Bedroom, Dr. Logan Levkoff. And she's got answers for us! Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about condoms, and more. Because we want you to have safe and fun sexy times.
The joy of sex could be even more joyful if you were having orgasms. And the sad fact of the matter is that far too many of us women are not "coming" to the party. Sure sex can be great without having the big O, but it's even better if you do. And you should. You deserve it. That feeling. The incredible, often mind-blowing experience. It is oh so good.
There are reasons you may not be having an orgasm that go beyond the reality that your lover just isn't sure how to properly please you. (Talk to your men, ladies. Tell him what feels good! Show him!) These are things you can change in your life in order to feel better during sex. Behold these six shocking reasons you aren't having an orgasm.
Tonight something very special is happening at a school in New York. It's something that women and men all over the world should attend, but obviously due to lack of space isn't going to happen at one venue. It's that important. And it has to do with our rights as women, as people. It has to do with our right to have an orgasm.
The class, offered at Hamilton College (which is highly ranked and considered a hidden Ivy league school) in upstate New York, is called The Female Orgasm and it teaches all genders and all sexual orientations "everything from multiple orgasms to that mysterious G-spot." Naturally, there's outrage, but for no good reason.
Like sex but not the pill or condoms? You're in good company. It seems another birth control method has become all the rage lately, but there's nothing new about it: It's the pullout method. You know, coitus interruptus, the withdrawal method? This is when your partner pulls out before he ejaculates his baby-making seeds inside of you. (Sorry to get graphic, just want to be clear about what we're talking about here.) It's the birth control for women who are sick of messing with their hormones and hate using condoms -- or for couples who seem to have trouble planning ahead. And it's used by a surprisingly large number of women. So if it's so popular, it must be reliable, right? Well ... maybe we should learn a little more about it before we jump to that conclusion. Here's what you should know about the pullout method.
Remember that scene in Juno when she goes to the abortion clinic, and the reception offers her boysenberry-flavored condoms, and says they make her boyfriend's junk taste like pie? That always made me giggle.
Although I've never used them, I can understand the appeal of flavored condoms. Hey, safety first, and if you're going to do that, some flavor other than K-Y might make the experience more, shall we say, appetizing.
As it turns out, you can get condoms in almost every flavor imaginable -- including bacon. That's right, the company J&D's Foods recently launched bacon condoms. With that inspiration, I set out to find the wackiest flavored condoms on the market.
Image via store.baconsalt.com
Ah, this is what I love about New York. You can get anything you want. Sushi at 3 a.m. A subway ride at any time of the day or night. A sex guru to come over to your place, watch you have sex, and give you pointers. Spittake! Yeah, ladies, there's a real life "sex guru" who makes his living instructing couples how to spice up their sex lives -- and he does it live and in the sack. Well, he's not in the sack with you (he refuses to go that far), but he's like rightthere. Watching. Observing. Being all, "Hey, move your finger a little to the left, wouldya? There ya go." If he can't get to you, he'll do it over Skype.
He's a real life Christian Grey because he claims he's a sex expert. He knows evvvvverything about what to do in the sack. And how'd he learn? Through a much older sex instructor, but of course.
No matter how you put it -- knock boots, smush, do the deed, get dirty -- everyone has certain things they love during sex. Maybe you're into girl on top. Maybe you're a missionary kind of lady. Heck, maybe you get off when your guy wears a monkey suit. To each her own.
However, there are some things that are just absolute no-nos between the sheets. Yeah you may not like a dirty talker, but that doesn't mean it's an absolute don't. They do exist, though.
Check out 10 of our biggest sex don'ts here:
It really shouldn't surprise me by now that you can sign up for sex lessons from bona fide porn stars in San Francisco to learn tips and tricks for how to get your jollies and pleasure your mate. After all, this is the 50 Shades of Grey era, when people openly read erotica in public, and Harvard officially recognizes a BDSM club as a campus group.
But there's just such an aura of "ick" surrounding the idea. It sounds like a bad sitcom plot in which one of the main male characters gets tricked into a compromising position against his will. "They told me it was going to be an educational class!" he unwittingly will tell his wife after being caught with a porn star.

It's a long running joke that the sex basically ends after you've been married awhile. It's a notion that's played up in just about every romantic comedy that hits the screen. And you know what, it's not too far from reality. Recently, I ran into a neighbor-pal on Valentine's Day and she had gotten pink eye (thanks to her 4-year-old son). I grimaced and said, "Sucks to have that on a day like today." Her reply: "Are you kidding? This is the best get out of sex excuse I've ever had." It made me laugh -- and wonder what other out-of-the box excuses women use to get out of sex with their husbands and boyfriends. Here is what they had to say.
What excuses have you given to avoid sex?

I just tell him I'm not in the mood. Works simple enough for us. He does the same to me. Although, let's face it, he's only used that like twice in 2 years. Men seem to love sex.
lol this is funny, i hate turning down sex but theres only a few times i have to do it the first 2 days of my periods because my cramps are nasty and when we have had to much sex i have to turn down my husband for a few days because my insides feel bruised lol
My balls hurt.

Bobby Cox, Cito Gaston to Skipper Hall of Famers Fingers, Gossage and Niekro at May 25 Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown
Classic Weekend Features Opportunity to Meet-and-Greet Stars at 'Night at the Museum' event; Tickets on Sale at baseballhall.org
April 17, 2013
(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Two of the game's legendary managers are on their way to Cooperstown. And when Bobby Cox and Cito Gaston arrive for the May 25 Hall of Fame Classic, they'll find waiting for them a lineup card filled with Hall of Fame legends and stars from the last three decades.
The fifth annual Hall of Fame Classic, presented by Ford Motor Company, will feature Hall of Famers Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage and Phil Niekro along with more than 20 additional players. The Hall of Fame Classic moves to Memorial Day Weekend this year as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates the time-honored connection between the National Pastime and the nation's military.
Cox and Gaston will reprise their 1992 World Series matchup as opposing managers and draw on talent such as Brian Boehringer, Bob Boone, Bret Boone, Bert Campaneris, Doug Creek, Will Clark, John Doherty, Brian Fisher, Cliff Floyd, Jeffery Hammonds, Todd Haney, Jim Hannan, Jim Leyritz, T.J. Mathews, Brian McRae, Desi Relaford and Dmitri Young – with more players to be announced in the coming weeks.
Four soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division will also participate in the Classic, which will be preceded at 1 p.m. by the Legends Hitting Contest at Doubleday Field. The 10th Mountain Division Color Guard and Band from nearby Fort Drum, N.Y., will be featured in pregame ceremonies – including the 12 p.m. Cooperstown Game Day Parade on Main Street – as the Museum presents a salute to our Armed Forces.
Following the Classic, the Hall of Fame will host "A Night at the Museum" – a new event that provides a limited number of fans an unforgettable evening with Hall of Famers and other big league stars from 7-9 p.m. Fans can take pictures with their heroes while sharing a meet-and-greet experience throughout the Cooperstown shrine.
On Friday, May 24, the Museum will host the Legends for Youth Skills Clinic, from 4-7 p.m. at Doubleday Field. Hosted in conjunction with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association, the Clinic gives youth participants ages 5-12 a chance to learn hands-on training from several former major league stars. The event concludes with an autograph session for participants. Registrations are free but limited and can be secured by calling 607-547-0397.
Fans can experience May 24-26 Classic Weekend through two packages available for the first time in 2013:
- Baseball's Past and Present will feature a baseline ticket on either the first- or third-base side to the Hall of Fame Classic and a one-day Museum admission pass for just $25, a savings of $7 off the regular rate.
- Let's Play Two features a baseline ticket on either the first- or third-base side to the Classic and entry to "Night at the Museum," a two-hour exclusive opportunity to meet and greet Hall of Famers and other former big leaguers from 7-9 p.m. at the Hall of Fame. Let's Play Two is available for $50 per person.
Classic Weekend will feature the return of several family favorites as well as new programs sure to thrill baseball fans of all ages, including: a Hall of Fame golf tournament fundraiser for the Museum; a member photo opportunity with Hall of Fame members; curator-led talks on the history of Doubleday Field; a family photo opportunity at Doubleday Field; the popular Family Catch at Doubleday Field; and other unique programs throughout the Museum.

Effective read throughput varies greatly. In RAID 0, Intel dominates at more than 600 MB/s minimum throughput, which is close to the interface maximum. LSI's controller follows at 474 MB/s minimum. AMD strolls along at 191 to 230 MB/s, Nvidia manages 178 to 194 MB/s. You won't need six super-expensive SSDs to reach this performance; three conventional $70 hard drives will probably provide the same throughput. The results are similar in RAID 5, and numbers decrease a bit more if you work from a degraded array.
Don't try copying large amounts of data onto a degraded RAID array. They all deliver poor performance while rebuilding parity information on the fly. While Intel's ICH10R is the only storage controller to deliver really fast write throughput, LSI's new SAS 9260-8i card wins the throughput tests thanks to high and sustainable performance.

Please get that Gate.com pop-up ad window OUT OF MY FACE!!!! Every damned article has that freaking thing immediately jumping down in my way from page two on and I'm sick of it. I'll be reading Fudzilla first if you keep this crap up.
Why there are not many reviews about the nvidia chipset mobos for AMD ???
It would be nice if TOM gives full reviews of those boards too...Many people show the desire to go SLI with AMD but are unwilling because of the problems and issues that are floating around the net about them...So it would help them much...
-1Netherwind , August 11, 2009 6:34 AMFirst! But anyway, it's nice to know that the Intel southbridge still stands up as a competitor to the LSI card, meaning I don't need to drop a ton of money on a raid controller for a desktop raid setup.. I just ordered 2 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1's and plan to Raid 0 them. It's not exactly 'high performance' but it's high enough performing for the needs of the normal desktop user.

0amnotanoobie , August 11, 2009 7:28 AMInteresting article, though I may not setup a RAID 5 on such a board (due to financial constraints), at least I have a reference when choosing a board to do a RAID 1 or 0.
2dangerous_23 , August 11, 2009 8:09 AMat last, i've always wanted to see this comparison! well done intel!
what do the transfer diagrams look like? can these raid controllers flatten out the transfer diagrams of conventional drives i.e. make max and min read about the same?
6goose man , August 11, 2009 8:44 AMWhat I do not understand is why bother with the degraded writing performance.
When you build a RAID array, you expect that array run normally most of the time, don't you ?
My RAID 5 server, in last 3 years, only 1 time has one disk failed, and only took 1 day to rebuild the array and run normal again.
1 day out of 3 years (> 1000 days) means less than 1 per mil of its life time it has to run in degraded write. And the quality of HD is much improved since 3 years ago (when I bought my HD to build my array)
Let's be conservative, let's say when you build a RAID 5, you expect it failed twice a year (very bad expectation), to rebuild it still take less than two days, mean less than 1% of time per year.
I will choose solution that has more performance that run more than 99% of time (i.e. ICH10 on RAID5) over one that has more performance that run less than 1% of its time (i.e MegaRAID on RAID 5) any day. ^__^
So if degrade write performance only contribute less than 1%, why bother ?
3haplo602 , August 11, 2009 9:06 AMhow about a software raid in the mix ? like the linux implementation, just to compare is the chipsets have any benefit compared to a fully software colution ? you did throw in a HW card so a SW solution should complete the picture ...
3Anonymous , August 11, 2009 9:20 AM1000 microseconds = 1 milisecond
The access time is between 110 mircoseconds and 360 microseconds, so between 0.11 ms and 0.36 ms
4dirtmountain , August 11, 2009 9:29 AMSince Schmid and Roos refuse to post any retail prices for anything, the LSI's MegaRAID SAS9260-8i is $600.
-2cangelini , August 11, 2009 9:40 AMadrianbalan1000 microseconds = 1 milisecondThe access time is between 110 mircoseconds and 360 microseconds, so between 0.11 ms and 0.36 ms
Corrected on page 10. Thanks Adrian.
2Anonymous , August 11, 2009 11:06 AMGood article but really strange choice of hardware. Surely the people who want these results are people looking to use SSD's in servers as well as the very small enthusiast community?
In which case why havent Nvidia based server boards for Opterons or Intel based servers been submitted?
Also raid 0 is great for a theory but realistically raid 10 is the most used raid solution, especially with solid state drives. It would have been good to have an update with this configuration.
Hope you do a follow up article.
-1MartenKL , August 11, 2009 11:07 AMAll of a sudden "Intel seems to have optimized its ICH10R for RAID 1+0"
On page "Benchmark Results: I/O Performance"
Nowhere else do I see any mention of 1+0 benchmarks nor any graphs.
Does Nvidia and AMD solutions mean you have to have a working OS installed first? The descripcion of the raid setup tools is a bit unclear.
To me the conclusion should be don't spend $600 on a new bottleneck for your raid performance. Who cares about degraded performance? No one in their right mind keeps a system running on degraded performance as you use your raid to secure important data you are not willing to risk it being destroyed by a second drive failure.
Also too little focus is spent on the processor difference. Todays multicore cpus lend them self very well to these integrated solutions and processor overhead is almost a non-issue. Lastly, is it possible intel has some advantage as the SSDs are intel? $600 for LSI's card with the not included battery backup option as the only selling point, is better invested in a UPS for the entire system.
-1Anonymous , August 11, 2009 11:43 AMthere is a big oops in the charts on the i/o section
amd sb750 raid5 is exactly the same as intels ich 10r raid0 in every chart
-1qwertymac93 , August 11, 2009 11:46 AMum, you put one too many zeros on one of the access time charts. amd sb750 is listed as 600, i think it should be 60...
0midnightgun , August 11, 2009 12:30 PMShould probably note that raid 5 is not supported on all 6 of the intel chipset ports (only the first 4).
I'm still living with that error.
0bk420 , August 11, 2009 12:53 PMI'm curious if the INTEL SSD are a case for the Intel chipset to have an advantage? I don't know, but they should have used another brand like Corsair or WD for this test. The LSI card I guess very expensive and out of reach for most home sever builds as are the Intel SSD's. It was a good article though seems like a lot of work! Good job TH!
-1Pei-chen , August 11, 2009 1:17 PMI moved from JMicron Raid on a Gigabyte board to an Intel ICH7R Asus board for the same reason Tom's pointed out. My Raid 0 setup with two 7200.10 drives tops out around 120mb/sec read while the Intel let me have 140mb/sec. I have since replaced the 7200.10 with 7200.11 1.5TB and have 200mb/sec read speed from the Intel chipset. Equivalent offer from AMD and Nvidia 3 years ago couldn't push more than 120mb/sec like the JMicron.
1altoidman85 , August 11, 2009 2:44 PM"Please get that Gate.com pop-up ad window OUT OF MY FACE!!!!" I agree lonewarder. I have been reading toms for years now and frankly the ads are getting really annoying. I know they have to pay their bills too but how about keeping them less obtrusive.
Good article tho. I was curious as to how ich10 stacked up against the offerings from amd and nvidia.

-1nemi_PC , August 11, 2009 3:47 PMwould have been great to see what a Windows software managed raid 5 performance is like on any of the platforms as a reference point.

Officials of the Obama administration's Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force released their interim report for a 30-day public review and comment period. The task force, 24 senior-level officials from a cross-section of administration agencies, departments and offices, proposed a comprehensive national approach to protect the ocean, U.S. coasts, and the Great Lakes.
"This Interim Report represents a wide spectrum of views and considerations, not just from within the federal government, but from members of the public, local officials, stakeholders and experts from coast to coast," said Nancy Sutley, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and head of the task force.
A June 12 presidential memorandum created the group and charged them with creating an implementation strategy to meet the objectives of a national ocean policy within 90 days. Within 180 days, the task force is charged with developing a recommended framework for effective coastal and marine spatial planning.
The report proposes a national policy of stewardship with modifications to the existing governance structure. Under the proposal, the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Office of Science and Technology Policy would lead an interagency National Ocean Council to coordinate ocean-related issues across the Federal Government and the implementation of the National Ocean Policy.
The report prioritizes nine categories for action, including ecosystem-based management, regional ecosystem protection and restoration, and strengthened and integrated observing systems.
The task force will hold at least five more regional public meetings in San Francisco, Providence, R.I., Cleveland, New Orleans and Honolulu. The initial meeting was held in Anchorage, Alaska on Aug. 21. Expert briefings will continue while the Interim Report is available for review and public comment. It is online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/oceans. The task force is expected to provide a final report with all of its recommendations later this year.

TWO Canadian brothers aged five and seven have been strangled to death by a 15ft African snake that escaped from its cage.
Connor and Noah Barth were enjoying a Sunday night sleepover in an apartment above an exotic pet store in New Brunswick when the 100lb rock python, which is non-venemous and kills by constricting its victims, fell from the ceiling. It had apparently worked its way through the building's ventilation system.
The store – Reptile Ocean - in Campbellton, New Brunswick, is owned by Jean-Claude Savoie. The boys were next-door neighbours staying over with Savoie's son, and sleeping in his living-room.
"My body is in shock. I don't know what to think," Savoie told Global News. When he entered the living-room on Monday morning he thought the two boys were still sleeping until he saw a hole in the ceiling.
"I turned the lights on and I [saw] this horrific scene. [The python] went through a ventilation system. I don't understand how it did it. It went through the ceiling."
The store was once a small zoo but is now run as a shop where customers can buy several species of exotic animals including crocodiles, tarantulas, tortoises and snakes. It's claimed the snake was not for sale but was a pet of Savoie's. Some early reports suggest it was kept in a cage in the apartment and not in the store itself.
The python was subsequently caught by Savoie and handed over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The rock python – python sebae - is the largest snake in Africa, often reaching 20ft in length. Its ability to swallow antelopes and even crocodiles has given it a fearsome reputation.
In 2009, the National Geographic ran an article about the increasing number of rock pythons turning up in Florida. Six had been discovered in the Sunshine State since 2002.
Kenneth Krysko, of the Florida Museum of Natural History, described the snake as "so mean, they come out of the egg striking… this is just one vicious animal." He speculated that pet breeders must have released the snakes after being shocked by their ferocity.
Also in 2009, the BBC reported the case of a Kenyan farm worker who was dragged up a tree by a 13ft rock python. Ben Nyaumbe bit the snake on its tail and then used his shirt to smother its head to prevent his being swallowed during a three-hour struggle that ended only when police arrived to rescue him. ·

I'm an American expat (and longtime Ford fan) so I look at the USA from the outside – and I'm always amazed at how shallow Americans are. This new pickup is supposed to "raise the bar on technology and fuel economy as it seeks hold onto its top-selling full-size pickup crown." How will it be different? "Changes include new rectangular LED headlamps and tail lights, auto stop and start engine, an automatic air dam that cuts down on wind resistance and a channel on the roof as well as bump out fenders."
Wow. The engineers at BMW and Honda are just gobsmacked by those STYLING changes. New headlights constitutes new technology? Changing the headlight surrounds and hubcaps every model year is just so 1950′s!!! Some things really have advanced in the past half-century, you know.
If Americans wanted useful, safe, economical, comfortable and also hot-performing utility vehicles, they would import Australian-made utes (which both Ford and GM manufacture there but refuse to import to the USA). Instead, Americans insist on going to the supermarket in TRUCKS, going to war to find the oil to feed their guzzlers and get excited about… new headlights! From the country that actually put people on the moon and brought them back, this is all very unimpressive.
"I'm always amazed at how shallow Americans are." And you generalize an entire nation over a car company's advertisemente?
Nothing to see here folks, just some lost soul with a keyboard.
Jake – you missed the reduction by 700 lbs as the major technological achievement. I do agree that it would be nice if not as many people bought trucks that they don't need, and thus didn't kill the other parties in collisions.
@"shutup" (Hey, *I* didn't choose your screenname!) My observation is based on decades of living both in the USA and on several continents elsewhere – and driving all kinds of vehicles, too. You may not realize it but Detroit hardly even TRIES to export US cars because they are considered – EVERYWHERE – to be primitive if showy products that can't compete. Unlike, say, iPhones or Boeings that are sold everywhere, hardly anyone anywhere else wants US cars that handle like sick cows. Australian taxis and pickups (Fords, at least) have double-wishbone front ends and independent rear axles while American "sporty" cars have primitive McPherson struts and live rear axles and handle like old trucks – but they sure do have nice color schemes! An Australian Ford 4-door taxi can actually beat the pants off a Mustang on any kind of course – and can do it on LPG, too! Americans, though, neither know nor care what's under the skin and get excited about the new upholstery options! Hummers and Cadillacs are just plain primitive, technology-wise. They sure are showy, though. It's the same with other consumer goods, too. It's part of American culture, being telegenic, creating an image, photo ops, etc. All show, no substance. All American concepts. President Teleprompter even got re-elected!
@Chris – weight reduction is simple for concept vehicles which never get on the road. In production cars, this is often achieved by using inferior or more expensive materials or both. It remains to be seen if a lighter pickup will carry loads and maintain stability. Corvettes are light plastic but might twist on a washboard (listen for windscreen squeaks). Lamborghinis are expensive lightweights with composite panels but quite rigid frames. Two different approaches. As for killing people, the rest of the world sees the USA NRA and wonders if anyone Stateside even cares about saving lives.
What's really sad about this is that GM and others will fail and production line workers who do their job as best they can will lose while the managers who have been making terrible decisions for decades will get millions. Fix THAT and you'll fix Detroit!
NB Don't blame me. I'm just pointing out things that Americans in America are unlikely to be able to see. I'm an American outside and it becomes so obvious out here.
Jake: I, too, have live overseas. I've seen your type before: American expats who bad mouth their own country in front of a sympathetic audience of foreigners who are jealous of American freedoms. Living overseas was a great experience, but the main thing it taught me is that America is still the best country in the world. Whether that will remain the case after four more years of President Teleprompter remains to be seen, but don't worry – those GM production line workers you are so concerned about will always be protected by Obama.
@Jake in Jerusalem
Price point different in the United States and it doesn't translate to other markets. For example about 4 yrs ago a BMW 130i sold for $60k US in Mexico but in the US that car can be had today (remember inflation) for about $37k and optioned much better.
@USA#1 – I'm not badmouthing the USA for any audience of anti-Americans. On the contrary, I have been defending American policies and practices in various countries for decades. I merely point out that Americans tend – overwhelmingly – to be very shallow and are easily swayed by things like color schemes and snazzy packaging. The American consumer, though, is now wising up.
This is why GM has been in so much trouble in recent years. Their specialty has always been marketing, not engineering. I laughed when I saw a Cadillac ad a few years ago touting it's "advanced engineering". It reminds me of the Cimarron – a small Chevy with Cadillac badges, that was promoted as a "BMW-killer". Well, BMW is still around, Cimarron has been history for decades and GM itself is barely alive. Badge engineering vs German engineering. Takes yer picks.
As I noted before, Boeing and Apple, among others, don't do this. And they are selling quite happily, thank you. Yankee ingenuity is perfectly capable of producing excellent products, superb design and advanced technology. And some consumers can appreciate it.
If Ford wants to reinvigorate the light pickup market, it could try converting the Aussie Falcon Ute from Right Hand Drive (as in England and Australia) to LHD for the USA. There was a deliberate corporate decision in Detroit NOT to do this.
GM DID do this for the Australian Holden Monara which sold in the USA as a Pontiac GTO. Interestingly, the Monaro, which is considered an iconic Aussie muscle car, failed as the GTO in the USA – because the styling wasn't hot enough. Americans weren't buying a muscle car if it doesn't look like a rocket. That just proves what I've been saying!
If American manufacturers want to compete with foreign producers – and with each other – they have to do more than rave on about the new headlights. It's not so complicated.

- BMW is notorious for badge marketing. Proof is that fact that they continue to have mediocre reliability (even more so when the price point is taken into consideration) and yet they have the highest sales numbers. The only way to explain that divergence is marketing. German engineering is overblown and perhaps relevant prior to 1940. A BMW is chock full of overpriced poorly engineered Bosch parts. Examples is the high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) used in engine code N54. It took BMW 4 yrs to fix it. Another example is the Bosch 4.0 diesel HPFP. VW has been using them in the new TDi's and just concluded their NTHSA investigation which essentially found that HPFP to be crap (cheap Aluminum housing to save $ instead of steel).
Interesting discussion going on here…
Well, I agree about the shallowness of many car buyers in America, especially truck buyers. It may have to do with the American culture which is about quantity over quality, image over substance, rhetoric over facts, results over principle, etc.
However, I'm afraid that cars just aren't on the top of minds of many adults. While this is true in Europe too, the different cultures will result in different choices of cars made by most buyers. While in these times small cars are made fancier in Europe, almost as fashion statements, bringing the fancy of more expensive models to cars that are cheaper to make, in America cars are being decontented to cut marginal costs or merely face-lifted to cut development costs.
Of course, car makers tend to flock resulting a boring sameness, until a bold outliers maker comes in and takes away market share from other car makers, like Renault's no-frills Dacia models and Hyundai's stylish and content-rich models.
Indeed, most people are like birds of a feather, in different ways depending on the culture, but it pays to be a contrarian, even if we don't get to elect any president, people whose only talent is conning enough voters to hand over power to them.

The Mommy Makeover was engineered to restore the beautiful figure you one once had prior to pregnancy. Usually, it involves a combination of procedures, including: smoothing out your abdomen with a tummy tuck, removing stretch marks and hanging skin, lifting and augmenting sagging breasts, and rejuvenating your skin with chemical peels and dermal fillers. After a Mommy Makeover, you may well discover a new zest for life and, maybe, bikinis!
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) after Childbirth
If you are like most women, you looked forward to having your flat stomach back once your pregnancy was behind you. But you may have been surprised when that did not happen. After your abdomen rapidly expands during pregnancy, you may be left with many tummy, hip, and thigh stretch marks. Your pregnancy may also have stretched your abdominal muscles and resulted in a loss of abdominal wall integrity and tightness. The changes are physical and dieting and exercise alone cannot reverse them. A tummy tuck tightens your abdominal muscles, removes the excess skin folds and stretch marks, rejuvenates your belly button, and can even tone your upper thighs and buttocks. The combination of a tummy tuck and liposuction can also help restore your former figure.
Breast Enhancement after Childbirth
Remember how lush and full your breasts felt while you were pregnant? Did you finish breastfeeding and suddenly realize your breasts no longer look like the ones you remember? During pregnancy, your breasts enlarge and the skin, areola, and the supporting ligaments stretch as your body prepares to feed your baby. But after breastfeeding, breast tissue shrinks and loses volume, and breasts sag and appear empty. Dr. Davidson can help your breasts look young again through a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift. While saline or silicone implants will help to restore breast shape, the breast lift will tighten your skin, diminish the size of the areola, and lift your breasts, all in one surgery.
Rejuvenating the Skin
The Mommy Makeover can also include facial rejuvenation. Dr. Davidson's Medical Spa offers many different ways of restoring your skin's smooth and youthful appearance. Chemical peels can restore its natural glow, and injectable dermal fillers can diminish the appearance of "crow's feet" and deep folds from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

The CEE program yet again wins two prestigious National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Engineering Awards, which recognize engineering programs that encourage collaboration between students and professional engineers. It is rare for an institution to win more than one award and now our CEE department has won a total of 7 awards, earning two of the five $7,500 awards now three years in a row plus the first win back in 2009!
The two SU projects honored with 2013 NCEES awards were "Design Options for a Creek Crossing for a Utility Company" and "Structural Evaluation and Retrofit of a Warehouse." Click here to view the profiles of the winning submissions.
EAC/ABET-accredited programs from all engineering disciplines were invited to submit projects that integrate professional practice and education. The winners were selected by a jury of NCEES members and representatives from academic institutions and professional engineering organizations. "Projects like these are innovative ways to teach students about the vital importance of technical competency and ethical practice in the engineering profession," said NCEES President Gene Dinkins, P.E., P.L.S. "We hope they will inspire other engineering programs to introduce similar collaborations."
The awards were presented recently at the Annual Fall Senior Design Kickoff Luncheon in October 2013 by WA Department of Licensing Member Chun Lau.

Bad news everybody!Okay so this\'ll be short, but in all likelihood, I am going to be shutting this page down. It\'s expensive (very), and I do not think it\'s needed anymore given the success of GOG.com, Abandonia, and a few others. I simply don\'thave the time to keep it up and running, nor can do I have the time to make it the kickass community that I think it needs to be. I tried to ping abandonia about taking it over, but I never got a response. if anyone else has any alternative ideas, drop me a line at admin at hotud.org and we can figure something out.
Scenario Hot
Written by Underdogs March 21, 2009

Scenario is a fairly simple and simplistic strategy game for one to four players, playing in a fictional World War I scenario. Your aim: conquer Europe. The game requires a mouse, but doesn't work with all mouse drivers (probably only with the Microsoft standard one). Quite a blatant disregard to historical accuracy even in this alternate history premise, and quite boring to boot. Proof that Starbyte should stick to their (more or less average) line of management games rather than anything else. Note: Both game and manual are in German.

Girls Can Be Bad Sports, Too
A college soccer player was just suspended for some seriously rough play. Talk about mean girls!
Dr. Michelle Golland: New Mexico has suspended soccer player Elizabeth Lambert. In a championship game, she threw elbows, took out BYU players at the legs, and finally yanked BYU forward Kassidy Shumway to the ground with a tug to Shumway's ponytail.
With such examples in the news, how do we teach our kids to be better sports than Lambert was?
Teaching our children good sportsmanship is key to their emotional connections with peers. Social and emotional skills are an essential part of navigating school, from preschool and beyond. Being a good sport is not just about never cheating or never trash-talking the other team; it is truly about self-esteem and learning from adversity. Even if your score is not the highest, you can still be a winner.
• Want to win but don't hate to lose: Teach your kids that it is healthy to desire to win, but that all athletes have to learn to lose too. Teach them to accept defeat with grace and dignity. It is great to win, and of course it feels good, but glow about your efforts, don't gloat.
• Be your child's role model: Offer praise for your child and encourage all the other kids too, including the opponents. Never berate, tease, or demean any child athlete or referee in front of your child.
• Check out your own agenda about sports: Your child's desire to play sports should come from them, not you. If you have some vision of being the coach but your kid doesn't really enjoy it, you may need to reconsider the activities your child really wants to experience.
• Family game night: Use game nights to instill the fun and joy of game playing, whether you win or lose. Board games, chess, or Wii are quick tools that can help develop the "good sport" muscle in your kids.
• Focus on efforts, not mistakes: Be proud of them for trying their best. Mistakes will happen and games will be lost. Teach your kids to offer praise to the losing team or opponent by shaking the other team's hand or saying "great game" or "that was a good try."
The goal of good sportsmanship is teaching our children the values of a positive attitude, respect for others, leadership, and empathy.
How do you teach your kids to be good sports? Comment below.

I saw one good, albeit perhaps questionable slide tackle, and the rest of it was cheap shots.
Suspended? How about yanking her scholarship? I hope her parents are proud.
I agree with yanking her scholarship. If someone had done those things to one of my daughters on the soccer field I doubt I could have kept myself from kicking that person's butt.
She should never be allowed to play again.

I wouldn't shed a tear if all those money sucking gambling sites would die. 99,9% of them belong to notorious spammers who are completely ruining the internet. Believe me I know because I fight spam all the time. Maybe it's a good approach actually, writing sofware that ruins these people's business. Could be quite effective.

Growing up, we had one pink pillar candle in our living room which was almost never lit. The one time that I remember my mom putting it in the bathroom and lighting it, I snuck over to stare at the flame. I started to wonder how close I could get to it, but I was afraid to burn myself. I somehow came up with the brilliant idea to get a piece of toilet paper and swirl it in a circle around the flame. With each revolution, I brought the toilet paper a little closer to the flame until it finally caught on fire. I panicked and threw the flaming TP into the toilet and flushed. To this day, my mom still doesn't know that I almost set the bathroom (and the house) on fire. That experience was enough to teach me not to mess with fire.

When I was five or six years old, I had a Snoopy Sno-Cone machine. My mom only let me use it when she had time to supervise me, so it was always a treat. It's actually funny to grwon-up me that as a child, I thought of working my tiny little biceps pushing down on the red roof to decimate ice cubes was a treat. Of course, now you can buy a refrigerator/freezer that will give you cubed, crushed, or shaved ice with just the push of a button. As an adult, I appreciate being able to have something like shaved ice without all the extra work, but I'll always have a little place in my heart for the nostalgic workout that using a Snoopy Sno-Cone machine gives. On the rare occasion that I have Italian ice (or Hawaiian shave ice, which irks me for its incorrect grammar), I remember how much I loved my Snoopy Sno-Cones and wonder what I loved more: the sugary syrup or the fact that my own little hands helped create my cold treat.

When I was in high school, I read a book about how birth order affects personality. According to this book, I'm highly organized. I laughed when I read that because I'm kind of messy. The book went on to explain that many first born children don't seem organized but there is a method to their madness, meaning that even if their desks don't look tidy, they know exactly where that particular file is. That's me!

awesome stuff for long flights
I'm not a jetsetter who flies all over the world constantly, but I do fly domestically an average of four times per year. I don't love flying, but I don't really mind it either. I'd rather sit on a plane for ninety minutes than sit in a car for eight hours to reach the same destination. For short flights to see my parents, I don't do much preparation aside from packing. I hate checking my luggage, so I always cram everything I will need (regardless of the weather or the length of my trip) into one rolling suitcase and one additional bag (ranging in size from a backpack to a medium sized duffel bag). Three days in the summer, two weeks at Christmas? Same baggage. Since it's such a short flight, I usually bring one snack item (like a granola bar or some cookies) and a large bottle that I can fill with water once I get past security. Longer flights, however, require a bit more effort. Since I just got back from a loooooong international flight, I decided to share the awesomely essential things that made fifteen hours in coach slightly less painful.

FUMI update
I am now an impulse shopper. I used to try being patient, but I learned that if I didn't buy something right away, I would obsess about it and even visit it online or in the store and then eventually give in and buy it. That means the time between when I initially wanted to buy it and when I finally bought it was just time wasted when I could have been enjoying what I wanted. Even worse, sometimes I tried to talk myself out of it for so long that by the time I decided to buy it, the size or color I wanted was no longer available. This is my explanation for why, only four short days after my previous post, I ordered a FUMI purse hook/bracelet from Je'Marie. I bought the Confident (black snakeskin pattern):

Je'Marie PurseHook & FUMI
I admit that I am a germophobe. I'm not to the point where I walk around wearing a hospital mask and gloves all day, but it grosses me out when I see people do things like touch the bottom of their shoes and then touch other stuff without washing their hands. It makes me imagine all the gross things they have walked on (dirt, dog crap, and lord knows what else) and are now spreading all over their staplers and keyboards. Blech!
In that vein, I really do not get how women can put their purses on the ground and then on their car seats, bedspreads, laps, or kitchen counters. I've seen women put their purses on the floor in the most disgusting places. Is the floor of a bar or the bathroom at Target something you want to lick or lie on? If not, why would you put your purse on those surfaces and then put that same purse, which now has gross cooties, on your bed? Ewwww!

For some, feeling less pain at the pump is as easy as feeling more wind in their face.
A switch from a four-wheeled vehicle to a two-wheeled version can apparently pay dividends.
The price of gas is high enough to renew Aaron Gurich's interest in motorcycles.
The Benton Harbor man is back on a bike for the first time in about 10-years.
He bought a new motorcycle last month to help him cope with the 55-miles a day he must travel each day — to and from work.
"This gets about 40-miles to the gallon," said Gurich, referring to the motorcycle: "Compared to our Jeep Liberty Renegade which gets about 13 or 14 miles to the gallon."
The way Gurich figures it, "we save enough money with riding the bike that it actually pays the payment for the bike."
Using the gas price posted today, Aaron's switch from four wheels to two saves him about 173 dollars a month in gas.
"I ride it every day," he says, even if he did get caught in the rain once this week.
Gurich's last fill up cost him $9.37. He lives in Benton Harbor, but works in Niles.

You know, I've been thinking about something for a while:
Who says that the Avatar has to be good?
I mean it's pretty universally accepted. The Avatar has to save the world and protect the world and keep the peace, right?
But above everything else, it's been stressed that the Avatar is human.
That the Avatar experiences humanized emotions and weaknesses. What if one of those weaknesses just happens to be lust and power? What if the Avatar uses his/her power to purposely take over the nations.
What if the Avatar becomes the enemy?

Taking screenshots is part of my regular job here at Softonic, so I can show proper images of the programs being reviewed. Instead of full fledged capture programs I've always prefered widgets, simply because they're easier to access and often do what I need.Capture is a good screenshot capture widget, which can take either full screen, a selection or a window. It also has an option to hide or show the dashboard.
If you open up the options you'll see you can save your capture into 10 different image formats, choose from four quality settings and adjust the size.
I was a little turned off by the slider for this last option though, as it felt a little imprecise.Capture is definitely an excellent widget for taking pictures of your desktop.
However I wished the interface would be a little bigger, as it's a little difficult to make out buttons the first time you launch it.Despite a small interface, Capture is an excellent capture tool loaded with settings.

The Cosatto me-MO 3-in-1 Combi plus car seat promises to tackle a power walk round the park as easily as a shopping trip
Next month, Cosatto is set to add a new travel system compatible buggy to its range. Called the Cosatto me-MO 3-in-1 Combi, it packs one stylish punch and is the brand's new flagship model.The me-MO gets its "3-in-1 Combi" tag from the fact it can be used in three distinct ways. It comes with a lie-flat carrycot, so can be used in a pram-like set-up – this is Pram Mode. It also features a reversible buggy seat, so you have a rear facing buggy or a forward facing buggy – these are both called Pushchair Mode. Finally, if you buy the optional matching car seat for an extra £130, you can use the me-MO in Travel System Mode. Now to the tech-y stuff… the me-MO boasts air-filled rear tyres, which Cosatto claims can do a spin across the park equally as well as a trip round the supermarket. There are lockable swivel front wheels, and Cosatto also says the wheels are quick release. It has a 9kg aluminium chassis, height-adjustable handles (from 94cm to 107cm) and the reversible seat unit has a 3-position recline. There's also an adjustable, removable bumper bar.As a buggy, the me-Mo weighs 12.6kg and is suitable from 3 months to 3 years, but the include carrycot makes it suitable from birth. This has removable, washable covers, and when teamed with the chassis to create the Pram Mode, you'll have a 13.6kg package.The optional car seat is a 4.2kg Group 0+ option, suitable from birth to 13kg. It has side impact protection, and comes with a removable canopy, head hugger, and tummy and chest pads. There's also the option to use the popular Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix car seat with the me-MO, if you buy Cosatto's Cabrio Car Seat Adaptors.When it comes to the price tag, £535 will see you get the buggy chassis, reversible buggy seat, carrycot, shopping basket, tyre pump, changing bag, cosytoes, chest pads and raincover. If you want to use it as a travel system, with Cosatto's own-brand car seat, you can expect to pay £665. Our sister site, MadeForMums, plans to put the me-MO through its paces as soon as it hits shelves, so stay tuned for performance updates!
