Hi, I setup my ip with dyndns.com so that I can access a LAN web server at my house. The ip for the server is 192.168.1.5. The problem is that when I access it from the outside without the port number, i.e. myserver.dyndns.org, I get straight to the routers login screen. When I add the port number to the end, myserver.dyndns.org:80, then all is well. Is there anyway I can make sure that either:
1. I block incoming traffic from getting to my router's login screen (router is a Westell Ultraline Series3 9100em)
or better yet...
2. Forward requests for myserver.dyndns.org straight to my web server?

McIntyre was chosen from a pool of 15 candidates which include athletes from any of the 13 BIG EAST women's sports, becoming the first Rutgers female to win the award. She will receive a stipend of $4,000 which will be applied to graduate studies.
McIntyre is a mechanical engineering major and a member of the Tau Beta Pi National Engineering Honors Society. The All-American swimmer finished eighth in the 1,650-yard freestyle at the 2002 NCAA Championship and was a member of the Scarlet Knights' 800-yard freestyle relay team that finished 16th. McIntyre has also placed in the 500-yard freestyle and the 400-yard individual medley at the NCAA event. She won the 1,650 freestyle event at the 2001 BIG EAST Championship; placed second in three events at the 2002 conference meet; and helped the 800 freestyle relay team to league titles in 2001 and '02. McIntyre holds several school records, is a three-time team MVP and is preparing for the 2003 BIG EAST Championship (Feb. 20-22).
As a Dean's List student, McIntyre was named Academic All-America by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) and is enrolled in the Rutgers Undergraduate Research Fellows Program. She was named the Female Student-Athlete of the Year for Division I schools in New Jersey. McIntyre is a member of the RU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and is the president of the Rutgers chapter of the Mechanical Engineering Honors Society.
A three-time "Most Valuable Swimmer" at Rutgers, McIntyre currently owns five individual school records and has been a member of two school relay records.
McIntyre and several individuals from the Rutgers women's swimming (4-3, 4-0 BIG EAST) will host the RU Invitational this Saturday at 10 a.m. inside the Rutgers Aquatics Center.

Here you will find just the best Pocket Pussies available. Don´t let you get fooled and buy only the original Pocket Pussy! But before you will get one, here are some explanations and facts:
What is a Pocket Pussy?
A pocket pussy is a device designed to imitate the female sex organ. To achieve this, it will generally be made of a soft material, lubricated, and sometimes heated. It may be designed for medical research purposes, animal breeding, or as a sex toy for erotic stimulation.
Human use of a Pocket Pussy
A pocket pussy for the purposes of sexual stimulation is essentially an aid to human masturbation; and is also known as masturbation aid, masturbator, or fleshlight. It is designed to simulate the sensation of sexual intercourse on the erect penis and to induce orgasm and ejaculation. It will often have moving parts such as vibrators that increase stimulation rather than accurately simulate a woman's vagina. Usually the pocket pussy has a realistic or close to realistic appearance with a sleeve, where the penis can be inserted. The sleeve, or as it is also called "vaginal tunnel", measures in average from 10 to 20 centimetres (4 to 8 inches) and can have an open end for inserting a vibrating bullet, if the user wishes.
Types of Pocket Pussies
Realistic Pocket Pussy
This type of pocket pussy is modeled on female genitals. For the advertising purposes many manufacturers design the vagina like the exact replica of some famous pornographic actress's vulva. Realistic vaginas are made to simulate the natural physiology: pubic bones, hair, labia, all natural creases and dimples, etc.
Several realistic vaginas are manufactured with a narrower anal orifice for those users who also like to simulate anal sex. The natural vagina has a series of ridges called Rugae, and manufacturers often add nubs or ribs into pocket pussies to simulate the rugae and enhance pleasure.
In Japan, onacups are popular disposable pocket pussies that simulate various sex acts and come with lubricant already inside.
Vibrating Pocket Pussy
These pocket pussies superficially resemble the previous one, but they have the added feature a vibrating element—usually a removable vibrating bullet that can be easily inserted into a hole into the bottom or the end of the sleeve. For more intensive sensations there are a variety of functions: vibrating, pulsating, surging, rotating, multi-speed, etc.
Vibrating bullets are usually controlled by a panel connected by a wire. Some kinds of vibrating pocket pussy are designed effect, replicating the role of a penis pump—with a bulb squeezed by the user.
In prison slang, a "fifi" refers to a pocket pussy usually made by rolling a trash bag or condom inside of a towel, and using some sort of lubrication such as hand lotion.
Pocket Pussy Materials
The pocket pussy as a sex toy is designed from the materials that maximally imitate the natural skin. The materials used in manufacturing pocket pussies are stretchable and elastic for accommodating any penis size.
- Cyberskin, Ultra realistic or Futurotic (mixture of PVC and silicone) and some other patented materials – natural feel materials that are quite porous, therefore requiring special care before and after use. These materials from the trade mark lines are also highly sensual and plush.
- Plants (fruits and vegetables)- hollow cucumbers, banana skins, papayas and other produce items can be used as improvised masturbators. They have the advantage of wide availability, low cost, and flesh-like texture.
- Rubber (elastic hydrocarbon polymer)- an extremely flexible and resilient material with the high level of durability. Porous nature of rubber makes it hard to clean.
- Soft plastics (Poly vinyl chloride) – very popular material for sex toys that creates a jelly-like feel, though it has a specific rubber odor.
- Latex (natural rubber derived from plants)- flexible material that may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
The above materials are all porous and therefore require special care to avoid bacterial accumulation. Manufacturers recommend protecting them by applying a condom during use. This is less of a concern with pocket pussies made from silicone, which, while generally more expensive, is non-porous and can be disinfected after cleaning with a bleach solution or heat.

We hope you now know everything about a pocket pussy and you are ready to choose the one that fits your needs, for a maximum of satisfaction!

It's time to publicize the negotiation list.
You know those moments when you are talking to a person in charge, like a school principal, a government official, or a sports general manager, and you ask them a question that they answer with such conviction that even though you still may disagree with the answer and it didn't in anyway solve the issues you had, you walk away thinking; well I guess it is important and there must be a good reason for it.
That is the feeling I get every time I talk to a general manager in the CFL about the negotiation list and the fact that the public is not allowed to see it. Currently, each team in the CFL can protect 35 players (primarily from the United States) on their ''negotiation list'' for any length of time they chose. It is a list that is constantly changing with new players being added and old ones deleted, but it is controlled by the clubs and is not information that is available to the sports fan. The clubs know who is on each teams list and the 35 players are registered with the league but after that, this document is classified where not even the athletes on them are privy to the information. Through countless discussions on the topic with GMs in the league, it is clear that keeping the players on the list in the dark is key to the process because under the current "unofficial yet official" rules, as soon as a player finds out he is on a teams negotiation list he can force that team to either sign him to a practice roster agreement, put him on the active roster within ten days, or the team would have to take him off their list.
I say "unofficial yet official" because while the negotiation list is in the league bylaws, the rules for the list seem to have evolved over time without real debate between the league, it's member clubs, the players association and other league partners, which is why this article is not an attempt to find blame in a system that actually has its merits. Instead, suggest why it needs to be examined and possibly overhauled, and at the very least be made public.
Clearly the benefit of a list like this is to protect the "diamond in the rough" found by a club; that player that no one else found and a discovery that rewards a teams scouting system. The team invested time and money to turn over every rock possible to find players and if they do find something special but don't have the room to place the player on the roster immediately, they should be able to protect that investment.
I get that, to a point. The negotiation list gives GMs a stock pile of talent that they worked hard to build, but to be able to protect that athlete indefinitely and to be able to keep it private certainly doesn't benefit the players involved, the fans, or the league in general.
There are a couple of possible solutions, like a draft for American players, but at the very least there could be a compromise where a club could protect a player for a couple of years but be forced at the end of that time to make a decision on the player one way or another or have to cut him loose. But most importantly, sports fans have to have access to those lists though the entire process.
With the US College Bowl season right around the corner, thousands of Canadians - including yours truly - could be enjoying some great college football while also focusing in on players currently on the negotiation lists of teams in the CFL. Sure they are players that may end up in the NFL and/or may not play football after college, but it doesn't mean sports fans couldn't discuss the possibilities. I understand that it could create debate and maybe even at times critique directed at team officials and their negotiation list decisions, but surely a confident GM that has a plan and the ability to evaluate talent wouldn't be concerned with newspaper articles or radio talk show debate, would they?
Truth is, for 12 months a year in our country, fans debate hockey free agency, salaries and rosters. Everyone likes to play the role of GM, so why aren't CFL teams creating that same type of discussion and debate in football? Making the negotiation list public would give fans a chance to build their fantasy teams, debate roster possibilities and, while watching the NCAA or the NFL, relate the athletes they watch down south to the game they love right here at home.
When asked about the negotiation list, GMs in the CFL are vague and want to change the subject but it is time to discuss it, possibly tweak it, and most importantly make it public.
Let the debate begin - Please.

Brian Williams and Jimmy Fallon Sexy Up D.C., Slow Jam the News (Video)
The "Late Night" host and "Nightly News" anchor injected some musical seduction into the fiscal cliff talks, explaining the economic situation to a more pleasure-minded audience.
After the garden-variety spoken-word conversation about presidential politics, the raid on Osama bin Laden and web GIFs, Brian Williams and Jimmy Fallon got the party started.
The fiscal cliff can really make a guy sing.
As Williams read news leads, Fallon and Tarik, the singer of his house band The Roots, brought some soft lounge jazz crooning and more than a few euphemisms to the collaboration.
VIDEO: '30 Rock' Cast Reunites on 'Fallon'
"When it comes to raising the debt ceiling, the president is having a hard time getting it up," Fallon whispered. "Seems the GOP isn't rubbing him the right way, especially with the country $64 trillion in debt."
"We're still in debt, but it's all right. The United States couldn't get any broker, gotta liquidate its assets like Al Roker," Fallon added with a soulful croon.
"Ain't nothing worse than a soft Boehner. Ain't nothing worse," Fallon growled a bit later. "Especially when it starts leaning a little to the left. And it's going to take more than a magic pill like a trillion-dollar coin to stimulate growth in the private sector."
We also got a new fan fiction proposal: 50 Shades of Brian Williams. Bravo, BriWillie.

Plenty of users have rooted their Nook Color eReader with custom firmware in order to gain access to the Android Market and download applications. However, the majority of people have stuck with the official firmware that comes with the device. If you're in the latter camp and have longed for the day when you could download apps to your Nook Color, we have some good news for you.
According to the HSN Website, the Nook Color will soon be getting a new app store known as the Nook Store. The HSN site doesn't provide an exact launch date, but it does provide some juicy information about what we can expect sometime in April:
Barnes & Noble seems to be avoiding calling the app store the 'Nook App Store' and probably for good reason if you've paid attention to Apple's recent lawsuit against Amazon for using the term "App Store." There aren't many additional details available about the store, its name, its contents, or when exactly it will be available, so we'll probably have to wait for the update to arrive in April to know more.
Via: HSN | News Archive | Tags: Update, E-reader, Barnes & Noble, nook, Nook Color
This is very smart by B&N with the Nook. I think in the end this denial and or lawsuits over the app store will hurt them. I know they are way cooler than anyone else, but this is what hurt them so long ago, you would think they might learn with age. When you lock yourself in but the general platform is wide with many in it it hurts you in the long run. Apple is of course being much more successful this go around, but it is wearing and they are starting to loose percentage. SO this all is good for B&N and the Nook as well, but the general lock out of everyone who is not cool enough will hurt Apple.
Yessss more Android Devices! >:D
Down with Steve Jobs overpriced technology!
Hmmm.... these things are so cheap that I've been thinking of getting one just for non-DRM books and the possible rooting... this makes it even more appealing.
If its got Android Marketplace support there isn't much reason to root it other than to say you did.
Now the cheapest functional Android slate on the market :) I like and might buy one now.
I thought B&N filed for bankruptcy a few weeks ago.

Max & Ben's Manufacturing Adventures
What do two 13 year olds know about manufacturing? Not much until we went on the road with Max and Ben's Manufacturing Adventures. We found out that "making stuff" can be pretty sweet. We did some welding and metal cutting, and "test drove" motorcycles and a motorized wheelchair. We talked to A LOT of people who work in manufacturing, and learned that there are some pretty awesome people doing some very cool stuff.
High School Students

Boehner also felt pressure outside his caucus to not listen to his caucus, because they were about to hand Obama the election. All sorts of pundits have been saying this. For example, Karl Rove: "I think the speaker retains the enthusiastic support of the vast majority of the people in his caucus. And the people who … in the last couple of days who have been upset with him are in no place to mount any kind of a coup or a leadership attempt." Protip, John: Listen to Karl Rove.

What 10 things do I tell my children that will make them better people and value society?
We all grow up with advice, either receiving it or giving it. But some advice stays with us and helps to shape us. As a parent of young children, I want to give them advice that will reflect on the way they live their life and support them through the good times and the not so good times. What advice did you receive that has stayed with you and shaped you. Lets see if we can get a list of 10 pieces of advice to pass on.

Sep 20 2011: Ten things I want to teach my future kids:
- Never compromise who you are and what you stand for, for the sake of pleasing others.
- When frustrated and confused, then, instead of yelling and screaming or hiding with your gloom, take some time for your self with physical or creative activity.
- Talk little, listen much.
- Every story has more than one side to it.
- Always take the information you're given up to further investigation with your own reason.
- Talk things over with your reflection.
- It doesn't matter who started it, I'm stopping it.
- Respect others' personal space.
- Be polite.
It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is where you're going.
All of these are perfectly up for moderation and consideration, since I'm not having children in the near future.

A new security threat has been infecting computers, on and off campus, called Ransomware.
Ransomware comprises a class of malware which restricts access to the computer system that it infects, and demands a ransom paid to the creator of the malware in order for the restriction to be removed. Some forms of ransomware encrypt files on the system's hard drive (cryptoviral extortion) while some may simply lock the system and display messages intended to coax the user into paying.1
Incidents of ransomware have grown globally, with reports across the CSU and on our campus. Most malware is removed by security tools before it can infect our campus, however the open nature of our academic environment makes it impossible to protect against all possible vulnerabilities.
Ransomware is typically installed when users open a malicious email attachment, a malicious link in an email attachment or instant message, or unknowingly open malicious links on social networking sites or other websites.
If you fall victim to ransomware:
The following tips can help protect you against ransomware and other malware:

Buddhist Belief – The Middle Way
The core of Dharma practice is freeing oneself from the attachments of this life. It focuses on the deeper issue of gaining complete release from discontent by means of freeing our minds from the afflictions of confusion, attachment, and anger. In a broader sense, Dharma practice is concerned with serving others, in terms of both their temporary and ultimate needs.
For this reason, the practice of Buddhist Dharma is often called the Middle Way because it seeks to avoid the extremes of sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. The former leads to perpetual dissatisfaction and the latter damages one's physical and mental health…The Middle Way is a sensitive exertion of effort that is neither lax nor aggressive, and from this practice there ultimately arises an increasing satisfaction and delight in virtuous activity that is a result of our spiritual transformation.
~~~ B. Allan Wallace, Tibetan Buddhism from the Ground Up
I've been thinking a lot about attachment lately. As my life is going through so many changes now, I'm noting how so many of my old habits of being attached to things and stuff are rapidly fading. My needs are fewer and fewer. Those of us who are making a study of have undoubtedly learned about the path of the Buddha. Most of us refer to it as the middle path because it not only avoids extremes of behavior, it also avoids a couple more extreme points of view. One view is that somewhere in this world filled with so many sense pleasures, there will be something which will not change – something which will last forever. The one thing we can truly count on to always be there.
So we keep looking for it. Every so often we're pretty darn sure we've found it. This will be it! This will be the perfect find. This, I know will not betray me. This will last forever. So we grab onto it. We hold on so tightly. Eventually, we find the disappointment – the thing we knew would always be there changes in some way. It's not the same anymore. Or, perhaps we lose it for some reason. Invariably, the end result is we suffer. The world we're exposed to here is constantly trying to lure us with commercials and advertisements all working so hard to convince us that their "thing" is the exact "thing" we were seeking. We keep falling into the trap of wanting, clinging, grasping and attachment. If we could just stop, think and avoid these lures, we would be a lot happier in the long run.
The other view, which is also rather extreme, is that our lives are empty. And, since there's nothing of importance, that life is all rather blank and void, that it doesn't matter what we think or do, then why bother trying to make it better? Why should I bother putting any effort into trying to change the world?
Of course, right about then the Zen master will walk up behind you and give you a good rap on the head with his stick as he asks, "If everything is empty, why did that hurt?"
Buddhists do understand that emptiness is a characteristic of all of life. If we look openly at any experience we will find it's true – nothing is permanent – everything is subject to change in some way – nothing is going to last forever, not even us. This is something I give a lot of thought to these days. I see where this disease I have is headed. The changes I see in my life, almost on a daily basis, are surprising, even though I knew to expect them. This isn't some crazy, accidental universe we live in. Things happen because of certain laws – the laws of nature – the laws of karma. It's because of these laws, and if we have an understanding of this, we know that we have the ability to truly transform our lives every day.
The Middle Way taught by the Buddha is a way of living that avoids these two extremes. We abandon the idea there is something out there that we can desire, find, buy and cling to that will not change. Followers of the Middle Way also avoid the mistaken belief that nothing we do will matter or make a difference. Everything thing we do has a reaction. The lessons of the Middle Way have been so helpful in my own life these days. I am learning to avoid the extremes by an acceptance of the way things are. Whatever arises in life will also pass at some point. What we do does matter – we are part of the Universe and our actions will ripple out everywhere. We learn to accept the fact there is nothing out there which will not change in some way, at some time.
Living a life guided by the Middle Way will create a life filled with wisdom and love.
Metta ….May I be well and happy. My I live in safety. May I be healthy and strong. May I live with ease. May all beings be well and happy. May all beings live in safety. May all beings be healthy and strong. May all beings live with ease.
Namaste — Be in Peace.

Stephanie Kaza — Hooked!: Buddhist Writings on Greed, Desire, and the Urge to Consume
Stephanie Kaza, an amazing writer and Buddhist teacher I knew from my 36 years living in Vermont, gathers key Buddhist thinkers to reflect upon aspects of consumerism, greed and economics. Certainly, many other authors have examined consumerism from the lens of their religious traditions, but this book's Buddhist perspective is unusual, and its pairing of consumerist critiques with core Buddhist concepts is generally fruitful. Check this one out! Hooked!
Stephanie Kaza — Mindfully Green: A Personal and Spiritual Guide to Whole Earth Thinking
Another one from my Vermont friend — Stephanie Kaza, a biologist and professor of Environmental Studies at University of Vermont, combines Zen Buddhist practices and teachings with her 40 years as an environmentalist for this guide to enlightened environmentalism, proposing a belief in the interdependence of people and nature as the genuine way to "go green": "When we come to see ourselves as part of the green web of life… we are naturally drawn to respond with compassion." A good read for Buddhists or anyone from any religion. Mindfully Green
Anam Thubten — No Self – No Problem
No Self – No Problem
shows how to realize the ultimate meaning of life in each moment by dissolving all notions of ego-identity. It asks that spiritual seekers wake up to their true nature, which is already enlightened. Based on Buddhist wisdom traditions, this easy-to-read book discusses in simple, but profound and inspiring language, how we can live a life full of love, satisfaction, and happiness. No Self – No Problem
Sharon Salzberg — The Kindness Handbook
"It takes boldness, even audacity, to step out of our habitual patterns and experiment with a quality like kindness–to work with it and see just how it might shift and open up our lives. This book is an invitation to do just that. — From The Kindness Handbook
Eckhart Tolle's amazing best seller, A New Earth
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's wonderful book, My Stroke of Insight: Nirvana is just a breath away!
And this one by Sharon Salzberg and is entitled: A Heart as Wide as the World: Living with Mindfulness, Wisdom and Compassion".
This is a new one for you by Pema Chodron entitled: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
Always remember this wonderful quote from Buddha ….
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
Shanti everyone, … (A sanscrit word meaning, "Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.")
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
Have a peaceful day!! —

Calvert City Suspicious Package
(Lyon County, KY) - Kentucky State Police Post 1 of Mayfield received a call from the Air Products Chemical Plant in Calvert City of a suspicious package that was located on a chemical train car.
Following safety protocol for the Plant, the Kentucky State Police and other agencies were notified and responded to the scene.
A suspicious package wrapped in black plastic and gray tape was located near the release valves of the tanker. It was believed that the package contained parts for the tanker; however, erring on the side of caution it was treated as a possible hazardous explosive device.
Members of the Paducah City Police Department Hazardous Device Team responded and determined that the package was not a threat. It was determined that the package did in fact contain spare parts used on the tanker.
Kentucky State Police units were assisted on scene by the Calvert City Police Department, Marshall County Sheriff's Department, Calvert City Fire Department, State Fire Marshall Hazardous Material Team, Marshall County Emergency Management, and the FBI.

Global warming and the future of Pacific Island countries
AbstractPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to outline the cause of global warming, its trends and consequences as indicated by the International Panel on Climate Change. Sea-level rise is one consequence of particular concern to Pacific Island states. It also reviews the views of economists about connections between economic growth and global warming. Design/methodology/approach – International efforts, such as through the Kyoto protocol, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their atmospheric concentration are discussed and prospects for post-Kyoto policies are considered. Ways are also examined of addressing the consequences of global warming for the Pacific Island states. How they will be affected and to what extent is discussed, together with their ability to cope with the emerging problem. Findings – The paper finds that whereas the majority of economists did not foresee a conflict between economic growth and global warming, the possibility of such a conflict is now more widely recognized following the Stern Report. It is predicted that a significant reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions is unlikely to be achieved in the foreseeable future owing to conflicting national interest (a prisoners' dilemma problem) and because is will take time to develop new technologies which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, payment for greenhouse gas emissions (for example, via tradable permits) will accelerate desirable technological advance. Both international political action and efforts to develop and use technologies that lower greenhouse gas emissions need to be pursued. Given current and likely increases in greenhouse gas emissions, continuing global warming in this century (and beyond) appears to be inevitable and consequently Pacific Island states will be adversely affected by sea-level rise and climate change. Originality/value – The paper emphasizes that Pacific Island states will suffer great hardship from global warming but are ill-placed geographically, financially and administratively to prevent or adjust to the possible environmental disasters that await them. Nothing may save some from eventual environmental annihilation.

I purchased 5 of these tubes for my grandchildren for Xmas. All went flat during the first use. We live in Vermont and had lots of snow so tubes weren't used on surfaces that may have cause damage. There were no visible holes - the tubes just leaked air. Very disappointing. Should have bought the cheapest that I could find - they couldn't have performed any worse. Don't waste your money on this product.
heavy duty tube ,large in size, we used them in pool kids had a blast and plan on using them this winter sledding. Would reccommend this product
We received our snow tubes and immediately went 'sledding' the following Saturday. Boy, did we have fun! The tubes are made of thick vinyl and worth the money. Believe it or not, the tube is made for two people comfortably but we tried three people and it worked fine. We bought two of these for our grandchildren and they love them; so we keep one at our house and one at their house so they can have fun with mommy and daddy too. A great buy and lots of fun! I looked at other places but the prices were higher and the shipping was much higher because of the weight of the tube. In all, this is a great buy. Make sure you are ready to blow these up, better yet use a tube inflator if you have one. They are big.
Bought these to use over the holidays and they were popped by the weekend. The holes were so big that I could not repair either .... DON'T SPEND the MONEY .... I now stick with the cheap ones from the local grocery store!!

Nike Free Run 5.0 – Wolf Grey – Pure Platinum – Yellow
October 14th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | No comments
A new version will arrive for 2014 but just like the Free Run+ series before it, the Nike Free 5.0 looks to extend its product cycle with more EXT colorways that exemplify these barefoot runners' crossover appeal. This newest rendition is done in Wolf Grey and Pure Platinum with yellow woven in on the mesh toe and by way of Dynamic Flywire cables at the midfoot and heel. The two-tone mesh on these is a new look for this model so expect it to be utilized across a variety of palettes, and Sneaker News will keep you abreast of the latest developments with release info on these and all the Free 5.0s to come.

The Atlantic :: It all started when I was looking at a photograph of an otter that was, BuzzFeed said, "disappointed that [I] never finished Infinite Jest." The merits of this otter's feelings aside (I got pretty far after all), the whole gallery of "extremely disappointed" animals caught my attention. Out of the 33 animal photos, only two of them had attributions. The rest seemed to emerge from some Internet froth only to be reassembled by Jack Shepherd into something that I have looked at least four times since it was posted two week ago.
It got me thinking: where were they getting all of these photos? And how were they using them without worrying about copyright? And Tumblr? Pinterest?

Firefox 8 hangs after multiple saves of Wordpress website post
After upgrading to Firefox 8, on our Windows 7 - 64 bit laptop computers, the browser hangs and just spins and gets stuck after I click "Save Draft" a few times while editing a post for our Wordpress website. After that FF no longer works to access any webpage or other website. Only shutting down the computer and restarting fixes the problem. Adding additional virtual memory to the computer seemed to allow more saves of a post on the Wordpress site before the hang occurs, but it still occurs. These problems do not seem to be occurring with our Windows Vista desktop computer (32 bit), even though it too is running Firefox 8.

Armchair Travel: 6 International Food Memoirs
When I can't take real vacation, the second best way to escape — yes, it's a distant second — is by reading about the international adventures of other people, especially when they revolve around food. Whether you are traveling around the world or staying close to home this summer, here are six books that will make you hungry for both new food and a little adventure.
• 1 Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes: Mayes tells a sun-soaked tale about buying and renovating an old house in the Italian town of Cortona, with recipes. Don't let the mediocre Hollywood adaptation scare you off — the original is so much better.
• 2 Climbing the Mango Trees by Madhur Jaffrey: Actress and Indian cookbook author Madhur Jaffrey grew up in Delhi and Kampur, and her memoir captures the magical, food-filled world of her privileged life as the daughter of a wealthy business man during a time of tumultuous politics in India.
• 3 My Life in France by Julia Child: Julia Child's lifelong love of both French cooking and her husband, Paul Child, are brilliantly captured in this book, which was the basis for the Julia sections of the movie Julie & Julia.
• 4 Long Ago in France by M.F.K. Fisher: Another story of love and France, this time from the perspective of the inimitable M.F.K. Fisher, one of my very favorite writers.
• 5 Honey From a Weed by Patience Gray: This thoughtful memoir about the author's 20 years spent living in the Mediterranean isn't one of those books you devour in a day. Instead, her careful prose and astute observations about food and life are best appreciated slowly, like a good meal.
• 6 Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper by Fuschia Dunlop: After moving to the Sichuan province of China and falling in love with the cuisine, Fuschia Dunlop attended the professional chef's program at the Institute of Higher Cuisine in Chengdu, so she writes about the hot-and-numbing food of this area with both passion and expertise.
Do you have any favorite food memoirs, international or otherwise?

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry, by Kathleen Finn. It's the story of the American author's experience at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and is beautifully written, moving and romantic.
I highly recommend the Julia Child My Life in France book as well.
In addition, I just finished reading As Always, Julia, which is an edited volume of the letters between Julia Child and Avis de Voto. I wasn't thrilled with the editing job that Joan Reardon did, but the letters themselves are absolutely fascinating and super compelling - they give a sense not only of de Voto's and Child's relationship and culinary life in the mid-20th C., but of politics and life in general.
I read and loved Climbing the Mango Trees. One of my favorite food/travel books, it is one of those that creates mental images that stick with you for a long time.
A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle was another good French travel food(ish) book.
Looking forward to reading Shark's Fin...
I would recommend Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto for a good travel/food book. It makes me want a big bowl of slurpy noodles and a cup of green tea when I read it.
I loved Frank Bruni's memoir Born Round http://www.confessionsofachocoholic.com/review/favorite-food-books
I recommend Toast by Nigel Slater.
I enjoyed reading "Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper" by Fuschia Dunlop. I was able to appreciate a country I had not considered reading through the eyes of a culinary adventurist.
I am looking for a gastronomy book based in Spain. Any suggestions?
Also "The Sweet Life in Paris" by David Lebovitz is a fantastic read.
My two favorites are "A Pig in Provence: Good Food and Simple Pleasures in the South of France" by Georgeanne Brennan and "The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen" by Jacques Pepin.
Susan Hermann Loomis "On Rue Tatin"
I belong to an online foodie book called The Kitchen Reader. We read Shark's Fin and really liked it. The recently published Blood, Bones & Butter by chef Gabrielle Hamilton was another great read, with evocative sections set in Italy.

The Orphanage0 Reviews
Explaining about the boys and the orphanage...
Back in the dungeon, James and Laurance were dying of boredom.
"God I wish Mr Splinter would hurry up and come and let us out of here. I'm hungry and I have a colossal pile of homework to do for Monday," moaned Laurance.
"And I have to wash my hair," agreed James.
After another painfully slow two hours had passed they finally heard key turning in the lock and Mr Splinter's voice boomed down.
"Come on boys. Get up! Its dinner time, and remember that its your turn for the washing up.
"But Sir we did the washing up on Friday. It must be someone else's turn?" Protested Laurance, climbing up the steps and blinking at the bright light compared to the darkness of the dungeon they had just been engulfed in.
Mr Splinter brought his ham pink face close up to Laurance's, and pointing a chubby finger in Laurance's face, he snarled.
"Do not answer me back boy. If I tell you to do the washing up. You bloody well do it. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes," mumbled Laurance, trying not to laugh at James who was making a pig impression of Mr Splinter behind his back.
"Yes what?" Shouted Mr Splinter, his face as red as a boiled lobster.
"Yes Sir," replied Laurance. Suddenly James accidentally snorted, pretending to be Mr Splinter...The pig. The real Mr Splinter turned round and glared at James, who just stared at him, not trace of misbehaviour on his face. Laurance envied him for being able to keep a straight face in these kinds of situations.
"I'm warning you. Don't mess me around James,"
"Sir, May I ask what I've done?" Answered James.
Mr Splinter made a strange growling noise like a bear, before marching out of the room, flustered with rage.
The two boys counted to five before bursting out in a fit of laughter.
"Wow his breath STINKS!" Laurance said,
"I know. He must never brush his teeth and eat garlic for every meal!" Replied James laughing.
It was almost always like this when they got into trouble with Mr or Mrs Splinter. They could never take it seriously not matter what the punishment. They always looked on the funny side of things, to cheer themselves up...To get by.
They always enjoyed getting their own back by playing tricks on Mr and Mrs Splinter. Last week, they had covered the toilet seat with clingfilm just before Mr Splinter had taken himself of to the toilet. And the sound of his yells of shock and anger coming from the depths of the toilet booth was sweet music to their ears.
Unfortunately for them, Woodlouse had seen and had gleefully gone and told Mr Splinter with jubilation, which resulted in them spending their entire Saturday afternoon cleaning the Orphanage toilets with their toothbrushes.
They entered the dining hall; there was about fifty children, boys and girls from the ages of 11 to 18. There were long wooden tables lined with benches either side, the walls and the tiles on the floor were pallid and colourless, and the only source of light came from the dim glow of the spooky black chandelier hanging high above their heads. Most of the boys were crowded around Woodlouse, trying to impress him so they wouldn't get beaten up.
"Pathetic," thought Laurance and James who couldn't care less about them. Unless he was feeling very brave and was surrounded by his gang, Woodlouse didn't really try to physically hurt them much. Because everyone knew that behind he girly personality and the long eyelashes, James could do some outstandingly good karate and kickboxing moves...
Two girls, who were sat on a bench in a far corner, turned round and waved to them. Their names were Daisy Flamingo, and Maddie Halfling. They were the only two kind people there who accepted James and Laurance as who they were.
Daisy's short ginger hair was ruffled and stuck up at the back, and her fringe covered one of her heavily black outlined eyes, making her look a bit like a sort of tropical bird, or a hedgehog.
She was James' girlfriend.
Maddie was Daisy's best friend. She looked grown up for her age and she was funny and outgoing. He cool turquoise and black striped jumper matched her sea coloured eyes and cool hairstyle.
Two years ago James had told Laurance he was bisexual! But for the moment he seemed very happy with Daisy.
"Heya you two," shouted Maddie.
"Heard stupid old Mr Splinter stuck you down in the dungeon again, you poor things."
Daisy pulled James closer and the two started snogging. Laurance felt another strange pang in his insides.
There was an almighty noise as Mr Splinter rang the serving bell and set of down the isles pushing the dinner trolley heaped with some gruesome inedible muck. Mrs Splinter was then followed by her husband, who strode in carrying his long stick. He marched round the tables ordering silence and slamming the stick down on the table if anyone dared to talk. The meal was as abominable as usual. A stew which resembled a sewage
Swamp with strange bits of smelly, grisly, stone grey fish heads and tails swimming around in it. You had to be truly famished to eat it. But everyone usually was. At least it was a Sunday so they got desert, not that it was any better then the dinner. Revolting, lumpy, florescent yellow custard. Then when everyone else had been sent up to their rooms, James and Laurance started on the mountain of washing up. Surveyed by the scary Mrs Splinter.
So all in all, not a good day. But then it was just another day for the poor James Willbery and Laurance Biggles.

PORT ALLEN, La. (AP) - A 32-year-old Lafayette woman was killed in a three-vehicle accident on Interstate 10 in West Baton Rouge Parish.

The room we had included a balcony. It was a perfect night for my wife and I to sit on the balcony and have a few drinks to rekindle our romance. We were so comfortable and relaxed. All was incredible.
Not one thing.The room was incredible, the bar was quaint, the staff was extra friendly. It's hard to explain how happy this hotel made my wife and I. We watched a wedding from our room balcony, it sparked a conversation about our wedding and where our life is going together. We sat and talked, no TV or phones, just sat and talked. Listened to Pandora and got to know each other all over again. The hotel was what made our weekend a real perfect weekend.

I love a modern looking hotel with a nice staff. I could tell this hotel was either newly built, or hadn't been around for a while because everything looked/felt so new. I also liked that it was surrounded by restaurants and shopping.
The location of it is kind of off the beaten path, but thank goodness my GPS took me straight to the entrance of it. The walls inside of the rooms seemed pretty thin, but thankfully there wasn't much guest traffic. I also noticed someone's hair in my bed.

Bad breakfast - all unhealthy carbsI have never stayed in a Super 8 and was pleasantly surprised. Our 2 rooms on the 3rd floor were modern and clean. Obviously, this Super 8 has recently updated the rooms. As other reviewers noted, the elevator and hallways did smell of smoke, but thankfully, our NS room did not at all and I am especially sensitive to cigarette smoke. I glanced through the breakfast options, but didn't eat since the only thing offered was unhealthy carbs. I would say this was a 'better' Super 8 for sure.

Think what you will about the Thompson family from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, but my heart goes out to teen mom Anna right now. The eldest daughter of June Shannon and "Sugar Bear" made the couple grandparents with the birth of baby Kaitlyn. And now it's out that the baby has a birth defect -- she was born with an extra thumb on her right hand.
Yes, this is the same little girl who was dosed with a pacifier dipped in Mountain Dew recently, but the two things aren't related. The baby girl had the extra finger at birth. And from the way the family is talking, that thumb is there to stay.
Grandmother June told People that they've embraced the extra digit because "it makes Kaitlyn more special to us."
Well, that's one way to look at it. Hold on, I'm not criticizing this family.
I tend to think that if my child was born with an extra finger, I'd have it removed if only because it is so obvious. You can hide a third nipple under your shirt if it makes you uncomfortable. You can keep your six toes in a shoe until you begin to feel comfortable in flip flops. But there's no hiding your hands when you need to use them constantly.
I'd hate to think that my child was being picked on because of something that I could have had fixed.
But I can't fault Honey Boo Boo's sister if she decides that Kaitlyn's polydactyly (the official name for extra digits) is something she wants to just leave alone.
Until you're facing a baby with a birth defect face-to-face, it's easy to imagine what you would do. But when this is your reality, all those snap decisions tend to get lost in a sea of "what if"s.
What if you have surgery to remove an extra limb or digit and something goes wrong? The baby is seemingly healthy, so why put her life at risk? On the other hand, what if this extra thumb is going to turn her into the laughingstock of her classes in elementary school? Kids are cruel, and this could be what bullies choose to pick on to make her life a living hell.
Having all those thoughts running through her head can't be easy for Anna. Then add in the fuss over being on a TV show AND being a new mom? All I can think is that poor girl!
What would you do if your child was born with something "extra"? Would you embrace it or remove it?
Image via TLC
Why are people so stupid???
The extra finger makes the child "more" special? WTF is wrong with a child has normal fingers? I guess they're "less" special eh? Morons. Oh and a teen mom to boot. Great. Poor kid. Born to filth, doomed to be raised in it by morons. Oh well, maybe that extra finger will help her hang on to her spatula at the local dairy queen flipping burgers.
I don't watch this show regularly , but my kids do and so I see it occasionally, who is the father of this girls baby and why do we never see him? I realize she's young and all, but every redneck teenage boy I know is fascinated with babies (I assume he is a redneck teenage boy?)
@Lilac: Love the reference and the movie!
I think you need to leave the decision up to the kid. Just so you know, kids I know would think it's awesome to have an extra opposable thumb.
@Cheyanne Carnii Wilson...you do make a good point too..@ Miriam Kennedy..you also have an interesting point!! why are they keeping it quiet!!!??? makes you wonder who is the father? and why there are no other grandparents wanting to see the baby or dont have anything to do with it. and as young and as immature anna is for her age...hummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! sometimes not such a good idea to have tlc record every intamate detail of your lives!!! thats just my perspective as a mother and a grandmother

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (October 4, 2012) – Rutgers women's soccer continues its BIG EAST road trip this weekend with matches at DePaul and No. 24 Notre Dame. RU (8-6, 1-5) will face DePaul (7-6-1, 2-3) on Friday, Oct. 5 at noon on Wish Field. The Scarlet Knights then meet the Fighting Irish (9-3-1, 5-0) at Alumni Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 1 p.m.
Friday's match vs. DePaul will be streamed live for a fee at http://www.depaulbluedemons.com/allaccess/?media=328986. Sunday's match can be seen at http://hqplayer.nbcsports.com/Player.html?PID=104.
Last weekend, the Scarlet Knights dropped two one-goal matches to St. John's and Syracuse.
Rutgers' defense has been its strongpoint this season. The Scarlet Knights rank third in the BIG EAST in shutouts with six and fifth with a 0.90 goals against average.
Redshirt junior Jonelle Filigno (Mississauga, ON, Canada) currently ranks first in the BIG EAST with five game-winning goals, second in goals (nine) and fourth in total points (20). The forward also ranks second in the NCAA in game-winning goals and 17th overall in goals scored.
Rutgers and DePaul will meet for the eighth time in program history Friday. The Scarlet Knights hold a 5-2 advantage. Stef Scholz (South Hackensack, N.J.) broke through in the 55th minute, as RU edged DPU 1-0 on Oct. 7, 2011.
DePaul is paced offensively by junior Ashleigh Goddard. She leads the team with eight points on three goals and two assists. Sophomore Megan Pyrz will be in net for the Blue Demons. The goalkeeper currently holds a 1.08 GAA with 58 saves and has posted three shutouts this season.
Erin Chastain is in the midst of her fifth season as DePaul's head coach.
Rutgers and Notre Dame have met 22 times overall, dating back to 1992. UND maintains an 18-1-3 all-time record over RU, although the last three matches have all been decided by one goal or less. In 2011, the two squads played to a scoreless draw.
Freshman forward Crystal Thomas drives the Irish with 13 points on six goals and one assist. Netminders Elyse Hight and Sarah Voigt split time in between the pipes for UND. Voigt, the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week on Monday, owns a 0.50 GAA with 14 saves through five starts. High maintains a 0.85 GAA with 31 saves.
Head coach Randy Waldrum has led Notre Dame to a 272-47-15 record in his 14 seasons at the helm. The manager has been to six College Cups and owns two NCAA National Championships.

On the Chamorro caste system
I had to relearn this stuff so here I'll give you guys a refresher.
Chamorri - refers to the two upper classes of Chamorros
Matua - The highest caste of Chamorro society, these people lived in villages near the beach and were described as large, light-skinned, and practical royalty. They also had a fair knowledge of navigation since they were the ones going out to sea to fish for food. The Chamorros of the lowest caste had to bow down to these Chamorros and could not look them in the eye.
Atcha'ot - The middle caste of Chamorro society, these people also lived in optimal villages near the beach and, like the Matua, had to be bowed down to. Some of them could come from the lowest caste only if they did a great feat. Individuals of this caste could jump to the highest caste if they performed a great or honorable feat as well.
Mana'chang - The lowest caste of Chamorro society, these people lived inland where they had to grow their on food and could not get meat very often. They were described as darker and slightly smaller in stature than the upper-caste Chamorros. These people could not look people of higher caste in the eyes directly and had to bow when one of them approached. They also could not touch a beach or the water of the ocean because it was considered very bad luck for the upper-caste Chamorros. They supposedly could only jump rank to the middle class if they did something extremely great and honorable, but could not ever be a part of the Matua. However, it was not unheard of for a mana'chang to foster a Matua godchild, if the individual had saved the child's life. It this happened, the godparent was granted higher esteem in the eyes of the Matua, though they may stay the same rank.
PLEASE, if you know more about this than me or find I am wrong feel free to correct me. I hope you enjoyed this mini-lesson in ancient chamorro society! If there's anyhting else you'd like to know that I could help with submit something in my ask! Esta!
A little bit of vocabulary
Ma'gas (pronounce the first a like the o in ostrich) - King/chief/boss
Maga'lahi (pronounce the first a normally, 2nd a like above) - Governor/same as above but used strictly for males
Maga'haga (pronounce the first a in haga like the a in ma'gas) - Queen/female head of something like a family, business, etc.
Hands up if you knew what these words meant already and knew how to pronounce them.
Don't forget that the submit box is always open for business, or if you've got some Chamorro friends on tumblr give us a promo! Si yu'us ma'ase! Esta!

Anyway, HAFADAI NEW FOLLOWERS!! Sorry the blogs been kinda neglected over the past week been busy with school, I'm also thinking of adding Chamorro sayings soon so hang on for those, or submit some of your own! ESTA!
