돌아왔다잉! ^^ That means I'm back to updating this tumblr account. Will be posting at least one quote per day. Hopefully! :)
The question, what is the relevance of the above picture to my coming back? Hmmm. Nothing really but just want to give a shout out to my favorite Korean actor, 재희 (Jaehee), who just celebrated his 32nd/33rd birthday last May 25, 2012. Jaehee portrayed the role of 이몽령(Lee Mongryong) in my favorite Korean drama, Sassy Girl Chunhyang! ^^
"I like you so much. I like you so much that I don't know what to do. It would be good if I know what to do. What should I do? How would an adult answer this? You don't know right? You don't know. Because this is not Japanese neither it is Mathematics or about Management or Administration. And also, I am not Eunjo… "

I shall post more soon:) Sorry, I've been quite busy with work so I seldom visit tumblr. Thank you for visiting. :)
It's been a while since I posted something worthwhile here. Been busy these days with Academics related stuffs. Yes, I am still a student. And yes, I am from a country where classes start in June and end in March. But I promise to be back soon and continue posting quotes and pictures of the different filming locations of Korean dramas that I've been to. If you have any questions, just leave them here and I'll answer them as soon as possible. I come to tumblr once in a while just to check. :)
So for now, it's 안녕 for a while. BRB! Be Right Back! :DDD
Anonymous said: Thanks for the exhaustive explanation regarding the directions to Namwon.
Sorry, I can't read Hangul so I'd appreciate it if you can romanize the names. Again, my email address is qsg1051-at-gmail-dot-com.
Sorry for the very late reply. Just emailed you the map and other details on how to get to the ANJELL Entertainment Office. Good luck and enjoy! :)
Anonymous said: Thanks, kabayan, for the quick reply. How far is Namwon from Seoul (like how many hours bus drive)? Yes, please do email me the map to ANJELL building. But then, somehow, I can't type in my email address here (it's not accepting links) Salamat!@
When I went to Namwon, I came from Gwangju (another city) and it's just more than an hour away. But if you're coming from Seoul, it would be around 3 1/2 hours, according to some sources:)
By the way, do you know how to read hangeul (Korean characters)? Just a piece of advice, it would be better if you could know a little. Since you would be going to places that are not for tourists actually (like the ANJELL building), it would be better to have a little Hangeul/Korean with you as not everyone can speak English. And as much as possible, write the addresses in Hangeul for the taxi drivers to easily know where you're going. :)
According to some posts in naver, there are buses which leave for Namwon every hour. But the buses that leave differ from each other. Some are regular (일반) bus and other are special/express ones (우…). The express ones are more expensive than the regular ones. And bus fare are more expensive during the night and midnight. For example (based on the fares I had in 2009): bus going to Gwangju would cost me 16k if it's a regular bus, 23k if it's express and 26k if I buy a ticket for a 2:00am trip. :) And better check the schedule first before you leave so that you'll know the last trip of the bus. Places like Namwon, which is not a major city/almost in the countryside, usually has early last trips. :)
I'd be emailing to you the map soon. Do tell me if you could read hangeul or not so that I can romanize the words in the map. (I use Naver map and they are of course written in Hangeul.) Thank you. :)
Anonymous said: How do I get to the ANJELL building and the Gwanghallu Garden? I'm planning to go to Seoul in September.
From Seoul, you have to ride a bus going to Namwon. Gwanghallu Garden is just a few meters away from the bus station. You can ask some people there for directions. And actually, there are sign boards all over the place. It's not hard to find Gwanghallu Garden.:)
On the other hand, it is harder to find ANJELL Building. Leave your email address here and I'll send you the map that we used to get there. :)
I've never seen a woman as cool as you. This is my answer.
I've never seen a woman as cool as you. This is my answer.
Why? Why can't it be me? You are the only one whom I told about my treasured bus. The only one that I allowed to hold Jolie. The only person whom I sang for. But why? Why can't you like me?

LeBron James and the Miami Heat are ready to start their preseason, but before that the team has made its players and coaches available for media day. Understandably, there are a lot of questions about the upcoming free agency, despite the players refusing to answer questions about it. However, LeBron did share a personal goal of his – he wants to be the greatest of all time. And while he believes that he is still far away from the title, he can see the light.
LeBron: I want to be the greatest of all time and that's my motivation. It's that simple.''
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) September 30, 2013
LeBron on how close to greatest of all time: "I'm far away from it but I see the light.''
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) September 30, 2013
It's hard to argue that James isn't the most talented basketball player in the history of the sport, but as he himself admits, he still has a long way to go to push Michael Jordan out of that spot.
James also said that he has become a better player in every aspect over the course of the summer, and also shot 150 free throws at the end of his daily practices. As he continues to strive towards becoming a complete player, he is looking to boost his free throw percentage to 0.80 or higher this season.

Kim Kardashian Fan Blog!
After weeks of photos from "The Fappening" leaking over the Internet, Kim Kardashian's leaked nude photos have arrived. As you can see, Kim still has an amazing body.
Kardashian has previously appeared nude in Playboy magazine, so many of us would be familiar with those famous curves. Kim also appeared in the Kim Kardashian Sex Tape, which has been one of the most widely downloaded sex tapes in Internet history.
We have no idea what Kanye thinks about the leaked photos yet.
Enjoy the photos!
Kim Kardashian could be headed for a wardrobe malfunction with a source suggesting that Kanye West is helping her choose what to wear! Apparently Kanye wants her to be more daring in her fashion choices, and that probably means sexy dresses that really show off Kim's sexy assets. The more stripped down she gets the more likely a wardrobe malfunction is likely to occur!
A source close to Kim told a Brittish newspaper "Kanye has been having chats with Kim about her style. He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should 'evolve' as a fashion icon"
The source continues: "Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring."
Kardashian is already known for having the ability to change her style quickly and is already considered a fashion icon by many. But Kanye wants her to push the envelope and be more daring, so that probably means more revealing and sexier dresses.
Not many people thought it would happen, but Kim Kardashin and Paris Hilton might be becoming friends again! The pair had a falling out after the release of the Kim Kardashian sex tape, which saw Kim's fame quickly rise above Hilton's.
After that Kim Kardashian became a leading reality television celebrity, with multiple television shows and millions of dollars worth of product endorsements. Many say that Paris was annoyed that Kim obviously replicated Hilton's tactics with the sex tape and the product lines.
The pair reunited at the Cannes Film Festival recently, and were seen happily chatting for quite a while. This wasn't just a quick hello and couple of words, but a long conversation in which both looked happy and smiling.
The reunion happened when they met at the amfAR gala Thursday at the Hotel do Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes.
Witnesses told the press that they "hugged, smiled and chatted for a while." A source close to Kardashian claims that the past disagreements are all water under the bridge, writing: "They really have no problem with each other; it has been a long time."
We may see a return of Hilton and Kardashian hitting the nightclubs and having a good time! Let's hope so.
Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian appeared on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" recently and chatted about all kinds of Kardashian family gossip.
The hot topic was the impending DNA test for Khloe Kardashian to prove once and for all if she is actually Robert Kardashian's daughter or the result of an affair between Kris Jenner and another man!
Kim also talked about her brief marriage and her new relationship with Kanye West. Checkout the videos for more!
Well it's nearly summer and you know what that means – super sexy Kardashians wearing bikinis! Kim Kardashian has already donned her bikini and is enjoying flaunting her bikini body for members of the press.
Kim was recently seen in Mexico where she was celebrating Kourtney Kardashian's 33rd birthday. The Kardashians headed to the beach with Kim wearing a super hot orange bikini. Kim kept Kourtney's son Mason company on the beach while the heavily pregnant Kourtney relaxed.
Kim even tried a bit of boogey boarding and she was actually pretty good at it. There was no sign of Kanye West though, presumably he decided to stay in the comfort of New York.

It was an outstanding performance from senior Aaron Rhodes on Saturday. The RHP sophomore went the distance throwing a one-hit shutout against the Missouri Tigers (19-23). No. 12 Florida (29-15) took the series with the victory as they won the first game Friday night. They will go for the series sweep and their fourth of the season on Sunday.
Rhodes was one second-inning double away from a no-hitter. Missouri left fielder Dillon Everett was the only Tiger to record a hit off of him. Rhodes did give up two walks, but he struck out six in a career day on the mound.
Tigers' starter senior Eric Anderson (2-3) suffered the loss. With Missouri not being able to score any runs off of Rhodes, it was only a matter of which pitcher would get the "L". Anderson surrendered one run off two hits in 3.1 innings pitched. One run would be all the Gators needed to earn the victory and was enough to knock Anderson out of the game early on.
Florida scored its first run in the second inning when catcher Taylor Gushue scored on a ground ball hit by first baseman Zack Powers that resulted in a double play. Unfortunately, double plays do not count as RBI, but Powers still ended the day with one after he hit a solo home run in the seventh inning. His third of the year put the Gators up 4-0 at that point.
Junior Casey Turgeon was 2-4 with two RBI on the day. He singled home third baseman John Sternagel in the fifth and bunted in freshman Buddy Reed in the seventh. Reed was 2-3 and scored twice.
The series finale will be Sunday at 1 PM. Junior John Miles (2-5) is scheduled to start for Missouri. Florida's pitcher is TBA. A sweep would be the second conference sweep in a row, as the Gators swept Georgia last weekend. Florida will also go for its eighth conference victory in a row.

You know, a minute ago, we, you and I, just spent 2.2 million dollars. And, I didn't want to do it. But that is the cost of military spending, 2.2 million dollars a minute.
Our military Department of Defense, War, Veterans Affairs, and Nuclear Weapons programs cost 60% of the budget.
Health and Human Services 6%
Education 6%
State 5%
Department of Homeland Security 4%
Housing and Urban Development 3%
Agriculture 2%
Justice 1.5%
Energy 1.5%
Labor 1%
Treasury 1%
Interior 1%
Environmental Protection Agency 1%
Transportation 1%
Other Miscellaneous Programs 4.5%
These figures are based on the federal discretionary budget sent to congress for 2013.
Kind of puts things in perspective. Reducing the military budget is the best legacy we can leave our kids.
A quote from President Eisenhower:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron
I'm remembering that Romney wants to increase military spending over the amount requested by the Department of Defense. I find that incredibly upsetting.

I should never watch the debates. It drives home the imperfections of our system . It frustrates me that I don't have a real command of what our government does except in a general way. In years past, I've never found such steady use of fact checkers to be a necessity. During this campaign, you can't do without them if you expect to be informed. The one I use most is:
It is from the respected Annenberg Public Policy Center.
We, the 99% may not know exactly what is going on in the halls of congress, but, you can count on the 1% to have the resources to know what goes on in the halls of congress.
Obama certainly did a better job at the debates, but he had to use the same tactics that Romney introduced in the first debate. Interrupting, talking over his opponent and the moderator, ignoring the time limits and leaving civility behind, as did Joe Biden in the vice-presidential debates. I guess this signals a new low for debates to follow. Am I the only one who would like to see a return to civility?
Romney continually hammered on jobs as the cure-all for the economy, and rightly so. He just doesn't make a credible plan for how he will create those jobs. His numbers don't add up. But we do know he will take away my tax deductions. Now he says I can personally take $2,500 in tax deductions, period. But nobody will have to pay taxes on their dividends and capital gains. The 1% hold the mega portfolios and stand to gain huge benefits from that plan. That leaves out most of the middle class who don't have grand portfolios.
Obama and Romney were both weak on the immigration question and gun control. Romney allowed the National Rifle Association to meet with sportsmen and they agreed on their principles of gun control for Massachusetts. Basically, whatever you want, guys! Obama says enforce the laws we have on gun control. That would help, but it doesn't happen. Maybe it is a state thing?
Obama has suggested amnesty for immigrants who have been here and worked and contributed to social security. And, to make it easier for immigrants to come here legally. That is not a very popular idea among most people.
Romney wants businesses to police immigrants with a green card. Unfortunately, green cards are easily manufactured and are useless. Businesses depend on immigrant workers to do the jobs they can't hire anyone else to do. In Alabama, farmers have lost crops because they could not hire anyone to harvest them when they instituted new immigration laws. The new laws basically legalized racial profiling by police and teachers.
The first fact checker says Romney has more Pinocchios in his rhetoric. (And, once and for all, I wish people would quit sending me emails claiming Obama allows Illegal Immigrants to collect social security. It isn't' true.)
The town hall questions were good ones, but, not one question on climate change, or the environment. For climate change deniers, maybe they should look at islands in Fiji, the Solomons, Tuvalu, where water threatens to flood them out of existence. In Kiribati, 102,000 people have been evacuated to a nearby Island because of climate change flooding.
There was a passing reference to green jobs and energy. I did learn that both Obama and Romney are heavily supportive of oil and coal. What a disappointment. Drilling in the Antarctic? Maybe they should both take a trip north and see what is happening there and study how unsafe the off shore drilling rigs are. Study how much oil companies spend on safety and clean-up capabilities. Obama sites oil independence as a way to transition to green energy at home and has supported that technology in a big way. I don't like it, but I understand that you can't overnight turn us into a green energy nation. Even so, I hated hearing them brag about pipelines and drilling. (No mention of fracking.) Romney equally supports that idea as far as I could tell.
I don't choose to spend my time being a fact checker on everything our government does. But, the truth be told, government is far too complex for an ordinary person to really keep up with everything that affects us. And this year, with corporations flooding the airwaves with distorted and misleading ads, it seems our only defense.

It is a mad campaign swirling around us and it is hard not to get caught up in the whirlwind. Speaking of mad, I recently read that people who study serial killers have made credible comparisons to people who run for office. They share many of the same traits. How many times have we heard someone say, "Ya gotta be crazy to run for President." I am chuckling, folks, but then Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and other monsters pop into my head. I'll be glad when the election is over and we can all get back to some semblance of normal life, whatever that is.
I find it unbelievable that a man can get elected to public office and claim slavery is a blessing in disguise. "The following link is too funny/scary not to pass on."

The White House has called on federal agencies and departments to improve the ability of government scientists to openly discuss their research and findings with media, policy makers, and the public. Some agencies, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Science Foundation, have put forward policies that encourage such communication.
Government scientists should be able to alert the public when their research indicates a potential public health, safety, or environmental hazard.
Strange that we should NEED such a call to listen to science. Our whole world of inventions and weaponry , space travel and architecture, astronomy, road design, medicine, comfortable furnishings, computers, fabrics, mailing materials, machinery, building safe structures, growing more food per acre, improvements in glass, car safety, new technologies be it a bicycle or a car medical device have been invented or strengthened by scientific testing and investigation. We live every day with the things science has made possible. We, as a country, used to lead the way in scientific discoveries and investigation. Now we are #17 in the world. Such a long fall from dominance.
How did we turn into a society that denies the overwhelming evidence of climate change? It has hurt us as a country financially and in leadership around the world.
Part of it stems from the conflicted discoveries that appear to undermine religion. Red states with high numbers of fundamental religions, are where most climate deniers and anti science attitudes come from. Yet, many scientists believe in God and have religious beliefs.
The truth and nature of the world, which includes people, is a factual, solid place, not changed by science, but understood by science. However, people are more comfortable in their own beliefs and somehow feel it affects their self esteem if what they have believed for most of their life is challenged.
Uneducated people regard scientists as some elite, arrogant class of know-it-alls that live off the taxpayers and deserve trashing. In fact scientists don't make a lot of money. They have houses, a salary and spend into the private economy and pay taxes just like everyone else unless they work within a mega corporation where they can make better money. Where they buy houses, buy into the private economy and pay taxes like everyone else.
Scientists provide the infrastructure for great companies to succeed and compete. They are necessary to our capitalistic economy. And suspicions that they are liberals with an agenda to sway the public in some sort of conspiracy would take thousands and thousands of scientists to agree to a shady plan. It is unreal, untrue and unfortunate for all of us that such anti-scientific attitudes have been promoted and enhanced by politicians for their own gain. It is up to each of us to confront that attitude when we see it if we want to be the America we grew up with.

The debates have everyone atwitter, Biden smiled and chuckled too much, Ryan hesitated too long before answering a question he clearly didn't expect about abortion, yatta ta yatta ta yatta. I guess the pundits have to earn their money someway, but not one of them mentioned the most telling line from Biden:
The next president will pick two jurists to serve on the United States Supreme Court. If the Romney ticket wins, you can expect a conservative court to be even more conservative. I think having such an unbalanced court is a disaster as in their recent decision giving corporations the same rights as a human. That is something to think about.
Ryan avoids answering the direct question, what is their plan to bring 12 million higher-paying jobs to Americans. He says they will do it, but he can't explain how. Biden says the way to get back to work is to let the Bush tax cuts expire and level the playing field for middle class Americans. Help out where needed just like the banks were helped. Working people PAY taxes.
It makes me nervous to watch the debates. I don't watch the horrible ads I hear about. But, we have so much to lose and be concerned about if our leaders fail us. If there was only some way we could be guaranteed what we hear is honest, and hear plans to solve problems that are clear and concise. This campaign has given the fact checkers a lot of business. There are more, and more fact checkers needed. We should require our congressional leaders to take ethics classes before they take their oath. I would just once like to see a fact checker at a debate slap one of them across the knuckles with a ruler when he or she lies. And, I'd just once like to hear an ad that says, "This message has passed the fact checker for truthfulness."
(I didn't hear from the pundits that there was a proliferation of lies at this debate like the Presidential debate.)
And, no one mentioned Republican Senator Larry Pressler's endorsement of President Obama, and the positive things the Obama Administration has done for veterans.
Yesterday, I proudly endorsed President Obama.
As a combat veteran of two tours of Vietnam with 22 years of service as a Republican member of the U.S. House and Senate, the choice was not easy.
But it is clear: President Obama recognizes that our sacred trust with those who serve starts when they take their oath, and never ends.
That's why he's enacted tax credits to spur businesses to hire unemployed veterans and wounded warriors. He implemented and improved the post-9/11 GI Bill, the largest investment in veterans education since the original GI Bill more than 60 years ago. He's proposing a Veterans Jobs Corps that would help put returning service members to work as police officers, firefighters, and first responders.
President Obama ended the war in Iraq, and has a plan to responsibly end the war in Afghanistan. He's laid out a clear plan that would reduce the deficit and prevent the mandatory arbitrary military spending cuts that no one wants.
And something that hits close to home: President Obama secured the largest increase in VA investments in decades, so veterans get the care and benefits they earned, like treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury. As someone with service-related PTSD, I meet with younger veterans weekly to help them through the treatment and transition. It makes a difference for them knowing their president has their back.
And let me be clear: Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would be disastrous for America's service members, veterans, and military families.
When you fail to mention an ongoing war in accepting your party's nomination to be president, or veterans in a so-called jobs plan, the public praise rings hollow.
Mitt Romney has time and again failed the test to be commander-in-chief of our nation's military. When he politicized the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other brave Americans in Libya, he demonstrated that he lacks the required resolve and steadiness. He sowed division between "us" and "them" when he wrote off 47 percent of Americans, including any veteran collecting disability like myself. He has still failed to outline any plan to end the war in Afghanistan or bring our troops home.
He has not proven himself fit to serve as commander-in-chief of this nation.
Now, that is clear and concise.

Fall is in the air, there is no mistaking it, the cooler nights; waking up in the dark instead of those sunny mornings. Brrr! There is something else in the air as well, politics. It's become so ugly I know people who refuse to listen or to vote. I'm tired of the two-party system where you often have to hold your nose to vote. And, now the mega-bucks with attack ads on both sides filling the airwaves. Money that could so easily be spent on positive change. There are good things about politics, though. A local man, Tom Pratt, wholesome, positive, experienced and dedicated to excellence in education is running for School Board. He meets voters at a neighbors house. Now, that's democracy you can identify with and get behind.
And, Alex Milward, a young high school student who put on a fundraising dinner for Obama as his senior project. I attended the dinner, and I find my values more in line with the Democratic Party. But, this was such a wholesome event because this young man did it to encourage discourse in our local community. He learned skills like project management, financial tracking, sales and marketing, and public speaking to name a few. Hard work, too.
It was nice to meet neighbors at the event. The local caterer, I have no idea what Jenny Baxter's political affiliation is, because it doesn't matter in small town Murphys. Likewise the local musicians who played for the event.
We are all citizens in this soup together. All morning, I emailed to friends and acquaintances something we can all get behind, Public Citizen, if you haven't heard. Public Citizen is a non-partisan group attempting to return our campaign laws to the sanity of former years. They are working hard to overturn Citizens United Vs. Federal Election Commission. Here is an excerpt from their letter:
A recent survey by the Associated Press and the National Constitution Center shows that 83% of Americans think there should be limits on how much money corporations can give to the outside groups that run so many of the dirty campaign ads polluting our airwaves.
It's not about political parties: 85% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans and 78% of Independents support limiting corporate influence in elections.
And it's not about income groups: Among people with household incomes over $100,000, the number actually goes up to 90%.
Overwhelmingly, We the People — across political and income spectrums — want corporations out of politics.
Yet a staggering amount of money is being spent by corporations (on behalf of candidates from both major parties, it must be said) seemingly bent on taking us back to the age of the Robber Barons.
With the problem so stark, with people so unified, Public Citizen has an unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on all the momentum we've built together to overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
Please contribute $5, $50 or even $500 — whatever you can — right now to help Public Citizen seize the day in our shared fight against the corporate takeover.
This election is one of the most impactful and divisive of our time. I'm guessing you're getting, and responding to, emails from candidates soliciting your support.
Public Citizen is proudly nonpartisan. We won't tell you which candidates to support with your vote or your dollars.
But we're doing critical work that we can't just put on hold until after Election Day.
We have to prepare now so that we're at maximum strength to make the most of the opportunities — and respond to the challenges — we're going to face once the election results are in.
We simply can't afford to ease off. Not for a month. Not for a day. Not for one moment.
I know not everyone can or will contribute to any of these political groups. But, just be aware they are out there and can use your financial help if you are so minded.

Yesterday, I wrote disparaging comments about our elected officials claiming they get retirement for life and free medical care. And, I bought into that same email information that they do not pay into social security like the rest of us do. A reader, Jim, pointed out to me in a message following yesterday's blog, that my information was wrong. He pointed me to an article by Phil Scott published in the respected AARP Newsletter about congressional salaries and benefits. Like so many of you, when money rules over good sense, I get cynical and hastily toss off bad news like a righteous knight bent on correcting wrongs.
To correct this error, Scott's article follows. It just isn't as bad as I believed it to be, and I should have checked.
And, yesterday, I couldn't remember granddaddy Bush's name, and the website from which the information came seemed to have disappeared or I couldn't find it. The Bush's and Nixon's were distant cousins and I got this message on Facebook from William:
William wrote: "Prescott Bush was vice president of Brown Brothers Harriman bank when it was siezed under the "Trading With The Enemy" act. That is why Bush hated Roosevelt so thoroughly. That is a large part of why the Republicans are still trying to undo the Roosevelt legacy. Following World War II, the Republicans established a "Committee of 400″ to start seeking candidates to run against New Deal Democrats. Prescott Bush was the chairman of the committee that selected Richard Nixon to run against Jerry Voorhis in 1946. The Dulles brothers law firm represented Brown Brothers Harriman bank in their case against the government to retrieve their siezed assets. I served in an intelligence division of Strategic Air Command under the Eisenhower/Nixon administration. Nixon was Ike's vice president. John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State. Allen Dulles was director of the CIA. Prescott Bush was Ike's golfing partner, all around political advisor, and 'handler.' That gang had Ike surrounded on duty and off duty."
I thank you both, Jim and Wililam for refreshing my information.
Read Phil Scotts article below:
Tales of extravagant congressional pensions abound on websites and in e-mail chains.
Not exactly true. Congressional retirement and health care benefits are far less lavish than critics claim.
For the most part, benefits for Congress are similar to those of any federal employee, although there are differences.
Nearly all Congress members are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System. The FERS retirement plan has three parts:
Social Security. Members of Congress have Social Security taxes withheld from their pay like other workers, and are eligible for retirement benefits beginning at age 62.
Before 1984, members of Congress were covered by the old Civil Service Retirement System and were not required to pay into Social Security — nor could they get a Social Security benefit. But at present, all members of Congress must pay into Social Security, including nearly 50 currently serving members who were first elected before 1984.
A pension benefit. People on the federal payroll, including members of Congress, receive a traditional "defined benefit" pension, something that is available to only a small percentage of private-sector workers.
According to the Congressional Research Service, in October 2006 the average annual pension for a retired member of Congress who served under FERS was $35,952, compared with the current $174,000 salary for active members.
(Members of Congress won't be affected by President Obama's proposal for a pay freeze for federal employees — Congress sets its own pay scales separately, and in 2009 and 2010 voted to forgo its usually automatic annual pay increases.)
A member who leaves office before serving five years because of an election defeat or resignation is not eligible for a pension. And any member who is convicted of a crime such as bribery, fraud, racketeering or perjury for acts committed after September 2007 is ineligible.
But, on grounds that working in Congress means uncertain job security, elected members and their staffs receive a larger retirement benefit from FERS for each year of service than other federal employees. They also become eligible for a retirement annuity at a younger age and with fewer years of service.
In return, they contribute a higher percentage of their pay to participate in FERS — 1.3 percent instead of 0.8 percent for most workers. As in the private sector, the bulk of the retirement benefit's cost is picked up by the employer, in this case, the U.S. government.
Members of Congress can begin drawing their full pension at age 62 if they have completed five years of service, at age 50 with 20 years' service, or at any age with 25 years' service. They can collect a reduced pension with 10 years of service at ages 55 to 57, depending on their birth year.
The Thrift Savings Plan. This is a "defined contribution" plan available to all federal employees and similar to the 401(k) plans common in the private sector. There's a difference: Whether or not the employee chooses to save anything, the government contributes 1 percent of base pay to the savings plan.
Members of Congress participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program along with about 8 million federal workers, retirees and their dependents. They are subject to the same rules and receive the same coverage. Compared with health plans offered by private employers, the FEHBP offers more choices — in fact, "the widest selection of health plans in the country," according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Congress members are also eligible for Medicare, and pay the same 1.45 percent tax on their salary as do other workers.
A few extras
Congress members do receive some medical benefits beyond those available to regular federal workers.
For an annual payment of $503, members can receive routine care from the Office of the Attending Physician, which has facilities in the Capitol. ABC News reported last year that these services include physicals and other examinations, on-site X-rays and lab work, physical therapy and referrals to medical specialists.
In addition, current members (but not their dependents) can receive medical and emergency dental care at military hospitals and clinics. Inpatient care is covered by FEHBP insurance, but outpatient care is free if it's performed at facilities in the national capital region, such as Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland or Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the District of Columbia.
This benefit is likely the source of persistent online rumors that all medical care is free for Congress members.

Things are far more complicated than they seem, certainly more complicated than I'm capable of imagining.
I try to buy whatever I need made in America and avoid buying stuff made in China, nearly impossible in my community. We don't have the variety of shopping options that city people do. And, I'm a solar nut. I love it, I'm delighted that California leads the nation in solar installations and even without taking the subsidies away from big oil, solar is booming. Now, listen to this:
Solar is booming because cheap panels are coming from China. That leads to competition. Solar panels made in the USA, Germany and Japan are still available and China has forced prices down everywhere. Since we have a trade deficit with China, it is nice to see it benefit us in such a big way. American installers are doing a brisk business and we are moving toward sustainable energy because clean technology is almost as cheap as dirty fossil fuels. The US and the European Union are threatening to stifle this breakthrough. So, how?
Both the US and EU give billions in taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil and Coal. Do they turn those subsidies to clean energy? No, they are about to drive solar prices back up by putting tariffs on China and China is threatening to retaliate? Oh, let's have a trade war. Who would benefit by hurting the burgeoning, green solar industry? The oil and coal industry, of course. I'm not saying we don't need oil, I'm just saying we shouldn't subsidize it anymore. Why not turn those subsidies into clean energy. The oil companies rake in billions in profits and we still subsidize them? Enough is enough.
I'd rather see them rescind the whole trade agreement than tariff solar. China has a poor human rights record and they supply us with our own stuff at cheaper prices. I read in Smithsonian Magazine where one expert claims that "Every major company in the United States has already been penetrated by China." He also fears they have implanted logic bombs , trapdoors and Trojan horses in our electronics, l that can be activated on command like a cyber-Pearl Harbor attack. That may be fear mongering, but we certainly stand to lose our competitive edge. Our F-35 Bomber technology- important and our early American quilt patterns- irritating.
The farm industry in the U.S. has been facing declining beef and pork consumption in the U.S. Now, land grabs for grazing land are being taken over to keep beef flowing to Asian countries. Yup! They take our electronics, steal or buy our technology, and now we export our food to them.
China has a poor human rights and environmental record, and its strategy of flooding the global market with subsidised goods is annoying and costly to jobs. The best thing is not to blame China, but to aggressively entreat our leaders to subsidize US solar manufacturers with cheap loans just like China does. We should learn from their practices.
Experts predict that tariffs could cost 60,0000 US jobs. So, cheaper panels provide more work for people. Forget the tariff. It only sounds like a good answer.

Political Conventions ain't what they used to be. I remember them as fun events, people wore crazy hats, waved funny and serious signs, partied and smoozed and had a wonderful time. That may still happen, but the ordinary, back-home people from our communities who go may not even know about the real smoozing going on. I present for you from Public Citizen "the rest of the story:"
The Democratic and Republican national conventions — which are supposed to be publicly financed electoral events with reasonable ethics restrictions on influence-peddling by lobbyists – have turned into mostly privately financed soirees funded by corporations and lobbying firms that seek favors from the federal government. Today, less happens at the presidential nominating conventions, because the presumptive nominees are chosen in advance. Fewer people care about the conventions, as declining viewership shows. Yet more money is raised and spent at the conventions than when the conventions were major political events.
Two separate codes were intended, but largely have failed, to make the nominating conventions more respectable political events. The first is the decades-old ban imposed by the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) on the use of "soft money" — funds from corporate or union treasuries or large individual contributions in excess of the legal limits — to pay for conventions. The second is the 2007 congressional ethics rules that restrict the manner in which lobbyists and lobbying organizations may host parties and offer gifts to members of Congress.
The presidential public financing system was created to replace potentially corrupting "soft money" with public money in the selection of the president, largely in response to a soft money slush fund scandal at the 1972 Republican National Convention. In May 1971, the giant International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (IT&T) pledged up to $400,000 to attract the 1972 Republican National Convention to San Diego. The company was facing several anti-trust lawsuits under the Nixon administration. Just eight days after the selection of San Diego for the Republican convention, Attorney General Richard Kleindienst agreed to an out-of-court anti-trust settlement with IT&T that the company considered very favorable. In the wake of this scandal, Congress approved a system of public financing for presidential elections, which included full public financing of the conventions, removing the potentially corrupting corporate money from the convention process.
1. The Law Regarding Convention Financing
FECA's public financing program for the presidential nominating conventions created a system in which the parties, in exchange for accepting reasonable spending ceilings on their conventions, would receive a block grant from the federal government to pay for nearly all convention expenses. Originally, the spending ceiling and block grant was set at $2 million, to be adjusted for inflation. FECA was soon amended to increase the spending ceiling and block grant to $4 million.
The law began to unravel after a series of controversial Federal Election Commission (FEC) advisory opinions and regulations issued in the 1980s. The FEC decided to allow corporate and union soft money to help pay for the conventions through "host committees." Originally, the FEC limited the soft money loophole for host committees and municipal funds to corporations and unions with a "local tie" to the community hosting the convention. In 2003, the FEC dismissed the requirement of a "local tie" for corporate contributions to host committees and municipal funds altogether. [1]
FEC Commissioner Thomas Harris back in the early 1980s saw the danger of these exemptions getting out of control. He wrote in a dissenting opinion: "By permitting corporations and unions to donate unlimited amounts of money to fund political conventions, the Commission is ignoring one of the clear concerns of 2 U.S.C. 441(b) and its predecessor statutes – that is, the fear of the influence of aggregated wealth on the political process." [2]
2. The Flood of Soft Money into the Conventions
Commissioner Harris' prediction that the host committee exception could become a gaping soft money loophole has come true with a vengeance. In 1976, both parties paid for their conventions almost exclusively with public funds, about $2 million each. In 1980 and 1984, the parties still relied mostly on public money to pay for their conventions, at slightly more than $4 million in 1980 and somewhat more than $7 million in 1984. Soft money had only begun to creep into the picture.
Then, in 1996, the use of privately financed "host committees" by the parties overwhelmed the public financing program. Both conventions received private funds amounting to nearly double the public grant.
Today, public funds make up only a modest share of the total (inflated) cost of the conventions. In 2000, for example, each party was awarded about $13.5 million to pay for its nominating convention. In reality, private sources chipped in an additional $52 million for the Democratic convention in Los Angeles and $60 million for the Republican convention in Philadelphia. In the 2004 election, the Republicans spent $101 million on their convention and the Democrats spent $72 million, all while the official public funding grant intended to pay for the conventions was $15 million. In 2008, each party was awarded $16.4 million in public grants to pay for their conventions, but total expenditures through the host committees amounted to more than $55 million for the Democratic convention and $57 million for the Republican convention.[3] This year, each party has been given a public grant of $18.3 million, but private sources are expected to add another $37 million for the Democratic convention and $55 million for the Republican convention.
The partisan disparity for the 2012 conventions is the result of the Democratic Party's new policy of reining in out-of-control financing of its convention. As part of the agreement between the Democratic Party and the convention host committee, direct corporate contributions to the convention are banned, lobbyist contributions are prohibited and all other contributions are capped at $100,000. At the time of the announcement, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said, "We will make this the first convention in history that does not accept any funds from lobbyists, corporations or political action committees. This will be the first modern political convention funded by the grassroots, funded by the people."[4]
The self-imposed Democratic constraints on special-interest funding are expected to significantly reduce private funding for the Democratic convention — even given some of the loopholes in the policy. For example, while corporations cannot make direct contributions to the Democratic convention, they can provide in-kind products and services to the host committee to help finance the convention, which likely will be worth a substantial amount. Furthermore, with the host committee struggling to make its contractual obligation of arranging $37 million in additional private funds for the convention, the host committee has incorporated New American City Inc., a non-profit entity run by the convention host committee. New American City reportedly received funds from Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Duke Energy, calling into question the value of the pledge against accepting direct corporate contributions with this backdoor avenue in place.
Meanwhile, the Republicans have not imposed any such limits on the sources and amounts of special interest money to finance their convention.
3. What Do They Get for Their Money?
Nearly all of the private donors to the convention host committees have business pending before Congress or the White House and have made substantial campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures to press their causes. With the 2008 convention, for example, 173 organizational donors to the host committees have been identified, and all but two are corporations. These donors made more than $100 million in direct campaign contributions to federal candidates and party committees, and about $1.5 billion in lobbying expenditures between 2005 and 2008.[5] Clearly, most companies that donate to the conventions want something from the federal government — and they are willing to pay.
Corporations and their lobbyists also purchase a great deal of one-on-one time with lawmakers at the conventions. In return for their donations to the convention host committees, corporate sponsors to the conventions are promised a variety of benefits, ranging from advertising opportunities to VIP tickets to the convention centers. Each host committee advertises numerous levels of sponsorship — the greater the contribution, the greater the access to advertising opportunities and elected officials. Additionally, the sponsorship packet offers contributors the chance to buy access to party luminaries by hosting or sponsoring events such as state delegation receptions.
So far, no data on contributions to the 2012 conventions are available. Unlike the 2008 conventions, in which the governors and mayors of the convention sites (as members of the host committees) provided early data on donors in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by the Campaign Finance Institute, the governor's office of Florida and local offices of the cities of Tampa and Charlotte provided no similar information on donors in response to FOIA requests by Public Citizen. Each of the offices this year claimed that the host committees are private entities not under their control or jurisdiction. The governor's office of North Carolina did not respond to our inquiry.
Host committees and municipal committees are required to file their financial disclosure reports with the FEC either 60 days following the convention or 20 days prior to the general election (Oct.15), whichever is first.[6]
B. Party Time on the Lobbyists' Dime? Not So Fast
One way of buying influence with lawmakers is to make soft money contributions to the convention host committees. Another is to pay for a lavish reception or party at the convention for lawmakers and party leaders. Many of the corporate donors, like AT&T, make extensive use of both tactics.
Eight years ago, the parties at the national conventions were more numerous and more pointedly set up for influence-peddling by their corporate sponsors. The Consumer Electronics Association, for example, a lobbying organization with business pending before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, hosted a luncheon at the 2004 Republican convention to honor committee members. Media companies, seeking specific legislation from Congress, hosted a $300,000 "Caribbean Beach Bash" at the 2004 Democratic convention in honor of U.S. Sen. John Breaux, a leading advocate of media interests over the years. Individual partygoers could pony up an additional $20,000 for some one-on-one time with the honoree. Though Breaux was retiring, the media lobbyists sent a clear message to his colleagues who remain: We support our friends.[7]
New congressional ethics rules adopted in 2007 placed constraints on this type of influence-peddling at the conventions by lobbyists and lobbying organizations. The "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act" contains a sweeping set of lobbying laws and ethics rules enhancing disclosure of lobbying activity and regulating the behavior of lobbyists, lobbying organizations, members of Congress and their staffs. (For a detailed summary of the lobbying law, click here.)
The new rules ban any congressional lawmaker from participating in an event at the convention honoring that lawmaker if the event is hosted by a lobbyist or lobbying organization.[8]
This rule expressly prohibits members of Congress from attending any convention party thrown by a lobbyist or lobbying organization where a specific member or members are identified by name and title as the honoree (including as a "special guest"), as well as events honoring a group composed solely of members, such as a congressional committee or congressional caucus. Member participation also is prohibited if the member is to receive a special benefit or opportunity that would not be available to some or all of the other participants, such as if the sponsor were to offer the member an exclusive speaking role or a very prominent ceremonial role.
This is precisely how the Senate ethics committee has interpreted the rule, issuing guidelines to that effect. The House ethics committee, however, has issued partly erroneous guidelines on this matter, which is likely to cause confusion and possibly violations of the rule at the upcoming conventions. In describing the nature of the rule, the House ethics committee has interpreted the ban on parties honoring a member as not applying to parties that honor groups of members in which no specific member is identified, such as congressional committees or caucuses.[9] The House ethics committee has also limited application of the rule to the formal dates of the convention itself, rather than the heavy party weekends immediately before and after the convention.
Both interpretations by the House ethics committee are inappropriate and fail to honor the letter and spirit of the rule. The clear intent of the rule is to prohibit lobbyists from hosting parties honoring one, two or even 100 members, either specifically or by committee or caucus name.
Congressional gift rules also prohibit members and staff from accepting gifts from lobbyists or lobbying organizations at the conventions, except under the following circumstances:
- Reception – Members and staff may attend a reception hosted by a lobbying organization, including food and refreshment of nominal value offered other than as part of a meal, known as the "toothpick rule."
- Widely attended event – Members and staff may accept dinner, refreshments and entertainment at a widely attended event. An event is considered widely attended when at least 25 people from outside Congress are expected to attend and the member's attendance should be related to official duties. Free attendance does not include entertainment collateral to the event, such as a concert.
- Charity event – Members and staff may accept free attendance at a charity event, provided the primary purpose of the event is to raise funds for a legitimate charitable organization.
- Campaign fundraiser – Members and staff may accept free food, refreshments and entertainment in connection with any fundraising events sponsored by party organizations, campaign committees and other political organizations. Such fundraising events must comply with federal or state campaign finance limits and disclosure requirements.
- Convention event – Members and staff may accept food, refreshments, entertainment or other gifts offered by the convention committees, party organizations and federal, state and local governments.
Public Citizen and seven other reform organizations sent a letter to Congress last month urging all members to abide by the new ethics rules. The letter is available at http://www.citizen.org/documents/convention-letter-2012-house.pdf.
The House Ethics Committee guidance on the conventions is available at http://www.citizen.org/documents/house-convention-guidance-2012.pdf.
The Senate Ethics Committee guidance is available at http://www.citizen.org/documents/senate-convention-guidance-2012.pdf.
C. Conclusion: Lobbyists Gone Wild
Corporations and their lobbyists see the national nominating conventions as an ideal opportunity to buy access and influence with the presidential campaigns, lawmakers and party leaders. The conventions constitute a campaign media blitz for the campaigns and provide a golden opportunity for lobbyists to extend their lobbying activity off Capitol Hill.
The soft money loophole created by the FEC has derailed part of the original intent of the presidential public financing program: to remove the potentially corrupting corporate money (such as from IT&T) from the convention proceedings. The FEC should reverse its previous rulings on corporate sponsorship of host committees and municipal funds. If the FEC will not step up to the plate – and there is no indication that it will do so — then Congress must revisit this issue when it considers strengthening the presidential public financing system.
Meanwhile, corporate lobbyists will be partying, schmoozing and lobbying at the national conventions. Though new ethics rules are forcing significant adjustments in the behavior of lobbyists and lobbying organizations at the conventions, there is still confusion that could lead lawmakers to disregard the rules.
It is imperative that members of Congress and their staffs are clear on the ethics rules and approach the party scene prudently. The House ethics committee needs to revisit its guidance so as not to contribute to the confusion. And the public and press must do their best to monitor the convention festivities to ensure compliance with the rules. No one else will.
Public Citizen and the Sunlight Foundation set up a bird-dogging campaign for the 2008 conventions to crash the soirees and identify which are in violation of the ethics rules. We were able to shut down only one party sponsored by a lobbying organization out of the hundreds that took place at both conventions.
Public Citizen and the Sunlight Foundation will be repeating this bird-dogging campaign for the 2012 conventions.
So, if you think money is buying our elections? It is worse than you thought. A rule is just something to break or get around.

RAID Installation Problems ASUS MB and etc.
I have a computer I built using an ASUS MB A8N-SLI Premium card. This card is a was purchased in 2007 and is one having two RAID chipsets. The first is a NVIDA and the second is a Silicon Image. The OS was XP Professional.
When I set up to install Windows 7 Professional Upgrade, I found that a) there were no ASUS drivers for Windows 7 and the "generic" Nvida and SII Raid drivers would not work with this ASUS card. So, says I, lets try and see if the VISTA drivers will be accepted by Windows 7... Nope.. Win 7 error says "can't find any drivers compatible with your hardware". OK.. So.. I have to buy a completely new motherboard.. I chose the Gigabyte MA790GPT-UD3H with AMD Phenom II Quad-Core 3ghz CPU. The M B is excellent with dual output video for two CRTs, and all the I/O I needed including IEEE1394 port for my FlexRadio.. But I get ahead of myself! So.. Let the buyer of Windows 7 be aware that he should check his MB and insure that Windows 7 drivers are available for his particular model. Otherwise, upgrading to Windows 7 can be more expensive than you planned!
So now, I set about to

Problems installing Win7 on RAID computer with 5 drives
As noted in a prior thread, I had to buy a new MB to get around no Windows 7 drivers for my 2 year old MB. But the problems were not over.
The first computer I upgraded was a RAID 1 equipped machine with three other large HDs for data storage. I got all ready and got my Win 7 RAID driver floppy ready and set to work. I put in the Windows 7 upgrade disk and "off it went". It asked me if I had the RAID driver disk, and I stuck it in as requested. Windows 7 installer chugged along and lo and behold, Win 7 came up running just fine.. or so I thought.
After I began loading the other drivers, I noticed that the boot screens included a screen that appeared to be a "dual boot" option window.. But I did not know I had a dual boot option.. So I proceeded for awhile and then I noticed that the machine would not boot up at all if I took the Windows 7 install disk out of the CD drive! What is this, I say.. Well, to make a long story short, Win 7 (in its great wisdom) had decided to install Windows 7 onto one of the SINGLE DRIVES and not onto the RAID pair as I had intended. I do remember that a) the RAID drives were the #1 priority boot drive selection and b) No other drives were selected in the boot sequence in the bios except the CD and floppy drives. So WHY did Windows 7 decide to install on a non-RAID drive which was not in the bios list at all? Well, perhaps it was because that drive happened to be an Acronis Clone Copy of the image from my RAID pair.
In any event, I then unplugged all the HDs except the RAID pair and went through the update install for the second time. This time, the Windows 7 installer installed the OS on the only drive(s) it could, that is the RAID 1 drive.. So.. That was it? Well, not quite. The new install would not accept the Windows 7 key! I phoned up MS tech support and over an hour or so, we decided that the reason the new key was not accepted was because it was already used on one of the other drives in my kit.. Go buy another key I was told.. NO WAY says I.. In the end, the tech was kind enough to use their remote access tools and delete the key from my single drive and their records and thus allow me to enter the registration key.
Now I am Up and Running fine on Windows 7 and it seems to be a very nice OS.. But.. see my next thread..

Windows 7 and UNattended Operation
I got my Windows 7 upgrade installed and set about installing my radio remote control programs into the machine. This unit operates UNattended most of the time and it is essential that it a) operate reliably and b) be able to automatically recover to normal operation should there be a power failure and c) It has to be able to send and receive files over the LAN to other computers HDs as needed.
With Windows 7, some of this turned out to be problematical. As delivered, Windows 7, when booted, comes to the LOGIN icon and waits for the user to input a password and press the button. This is totally incompatible with UNattended operation. So.. I set about trying to input the old XP/VISTA trick of running "control userpasswords2", then going to the Users window that pops up and UNclicking the "users must login to access this computer" option. UNFORTUNATELY, this option does not work in Windows 7 Professional Edition.
So.. I phone up MS Tech Support and am lucky to find a very cooperative and fairly knowledgable Technician. He understands my problem immediately and tells me that what I want to do is not possible. Says he, USERS MUST click the login button but we can elimiate the password.. Not good enough says I.
If you eliminate the password, then (at least on XP) you cannot access disk drives on networked computers. But I decided to let that one go for awhile.
The Tech set about to try dozens of things. We verfied that the "control userpasswords2" function did not work. Then he went off for awhile and came back and, using remote access, thrashed about for half an hour trying many things. Finally he said, NOW.. Try the control userpasswords2 command again. I did so and THAT TIME it worked. I Unchecked the "users must login....." feature and exited. I found that a) The machine would boot up and no password input was required and b) No one had to press the login icon and YES! I could still access the remote computer's disk drives even though my administrator user name had no password!
So.. All this is possible in Windows 7, but the Windows 7 folks (in their great wisdom) have made it impossible for ordinary system builders to do what we need to do.
I build a lot of computers for a) video security systems, b) mail servers, c) building automation displays, and d) even my own ham radio computer. All these need to be able to boot up UNattended without human intervention.
Since the TECH went away, the "control userpasswords2" command has been inoperative. Does anyone know how to repeat the above and have the functionality above come alive in Windows 7 WITHOUT having to spend an hour on the phone with MicroSoft Tech Support?

Okanagan Wine & Dine kicks off
The Thompson Okanagan Wine & Dine event kicks off Wednesday with more than 50 restaurants taking part over the next few weeks, each with its own special fixed price menu.
This is the 12th year for the event, which pairs the region's best restaurants with BC VQA wines and provides the perfect opportunity to experience new restaurants and revisit old favourites.
The majority of the participating restaurants are found in Kelowna, and most offer multiple options broken into three menu options -- each offering an appetizer, entrée and dessert.
Prices are broken into $15, $25 and $35 menus to keep the event affordable for a wide array of budgets, and diners can also enter to win a grand prize just by participating. Ballots are available at each location.

"True Blood" mini-cap 3.12 "Evil is Going On"
While trying to find Tommy, Sam stumbles upon Terry, who is crying on his front porch. Sam apologizes for going off on him while drunk, but Terry is obviously upset about something else. He seems to be upset about how great everything is. "Everything's great!" Even his armadillo, Felix, is good. "It couldn't get any better." Seems like the PTSD is affecting him again, in a strange way.
Sam goes inside the house where he was letting Tommy live. He was not a good renter — he left the house a mess, with lamps overturned, the faucet on and the freezer door open. He's definitely hit the road, which gives Sam a thought that's likely "S–t, my money!"
Tara can't stop thinking of all the crazy that has happened to her in the last year. She goes to see her mom, who is sober but in the middle of a tryst with the reverend.
"Does his wife know? How about his kids?" Tara asks. "He gonna leave his wife, he just needs time. I'm in love!" Elly Mae says. Tara knows it won't work out for her mom, but wants to change from cynical old Tara to positive, Zen Tara. "Good luck, Mama," she says, giving her a hug.
Sam finds that his safe has been removed and starts screaming. In the kitchen, Arlene says she can't deal with Sam today. Lafayette hears her, but sees Renee with his hands around her neck, saying he's inside her right now.
Lafayette freaks out and goes to call Jesus. "I am seeing things; bad things!" Jesus is at work and tries to convince his boyfriend he's not schizo like his mama. Jesus promises to come over, and Lafayette hangs up, fixes his do-rag and gets back to work.

Many times I get no reception at all. Phone says "No internet connection" with full bars. Crappy!Was this review helpful to you?
My 3 yr old phone died last night and I'm sitting here exploring whether or not to upgrade and switch carriers. I can see others experience is negative, so I'll keep my carrier. Much seems to have happened in the last 3 years because coverage on my personal phone has improved dramatically since I switched to Sprint. Hope that helps anyone landing here, you all helped me decide to keep my carrier. Its important you also check signal access and coverage and your phone's capabilities before switching. Where I live I have access to many carriers. Where I work, only 2 carriers provide coverage to the 40th fl where I work. You can find what coverage is like in your area online (this site) or via apps. Then there's the phone, the older phones with older technology dont work well on newer equipment. So though I'm staying with my carrier I am buying a relatively newer phone (NOT an iPhone) in order to continue my cellular bliss!Was this review helpful to you?

You guys are spoiled brats. Everything must be now, perfect, a dedicated pipeline only for your data. Earth to sheep, most of other countries have service prices set extremely high and coverage is nonexistent. Stop the whining brats, when the stuff hits the fan I want to see people appreciate your luxuriesWas this review helpful to you?
My phone is basically useless inside buildings. I'm forced to either use my office phone or head outside to the street to make a call. I've also noticed recently the "red x" next to reception icon on my phone when trying to make calls / send texts while outside. I'm unable to use my phone for a good 30 minutes whenever this happens. My GF has Verizon and experiences none of these issues.Was this review helpful to you?
US Cellular
Costly plan and the damn phone (Internet) and calls never work. Very frustrating. Switched from Sprint to Verizon and regret it dearly...Was this review helpful to you?
My work uses AT&T as our wireless carrier and for years I have been unable to get usable reception at Penn Station. Honestly, I think AT&T is throttling users here unless they are on high end data plans.Was this review helpful to you?
The data service on Verizon is terrible. I get full bars on the phone but it's useless. It takes 20 minutes to send a simple text and iMessage. It works 10 percent of the time. The voice service is satisfactory. For those looking to switch to Verizon. I just want to say Grass is not always greener on the other side.Was this review helpful to you?
Work in Hells Kitchen, No signal at all, from 4G drops to 1x, and from 1x to no signal at all, then goes to 3G. Drains the battery in 2 hours. Most of my co-workers have Verizon with different phones they all are having the same problem unlike At&t, T-Mobile and Sprint they have full bars. Hopefully Verizon does something about it, when Sandy hit Rockaway Verizon was the only carrier sending antennas, I was the happiest customer, not anymore. but still dont want to change carrier.Was this review helpful to you?
Ipad mini and iphone 5 get 2 bars. 3 Mbts down and 3 up at 10pm. At 1pm got 0.2 down which is unusable. I'm really getting sick of verizon. Data speed is mostly unusable between noon and 5 and very slow the rest of the time. It's only fast for me from 5-7 am. Btw. There is nothing wrong with my phone. These speeds are the same for two iphone 5s and an ipad mini. I switched from AT&T when the iphone 5 came out hoping for better service. And it was for a while, buts it's been awful ever since sandy.Was this review helpful to you?
95% of the time I have no cell signal - calls cannot get in nor can I send or receive text unless I go downstairs to my building and literally point my phone to the sky. It's complete B.S. that I pay for this service and not to get at least 2 bars in my building. I have a Verizon phone and I lay it side-by-side on my desk and the Verizon service is always up and running. HINT!Was this review helpful to you?
Used to be ok until 2 weeks ago, now I can't make or receive a call at home.Was this review helpful to you?
I have been a loyal AT&T customer for the past 5 years but I can't take this anymore. I cannot get any data coverage in my office and half the time my calls go straight to voicemail. I am just waiting for Samsung's next release and then will be switching to Verizon.Was this review helpful to you?
Kicked the bucket with Sprint. T-Mobile works excellent here. Consistently high data speeds and no dropped calls, both indoors and out. In large buildings, sometimes signal can vary. But overall good.Was this review helpful to you?
Verizon is great- live in queens and work in midtown. no dropped calls, data is fast enough and dependable.Was this review helpful to you?
I don't know what happened but my iPhone 3GS has poor reception in NY Penn Station now. The phone will say 3G is connected but all apps can't fin an internet connection 80% of the time. Edge connection is alittle better, connection happens 50% of the time. Voice / SMS happens about 50% of the time. AT&T needs to improve their reception or I am moving to another carrier.Was this review helpful to you?
I have been with Sprint for 5 years. Never had any issues. For the last 4 MONTHS in my apartment: I have had so MANY dropped calls in my apartment(even near windows), occasional delayed texts, occasions where voice mails just pop up without the phone ever ringing at times up to 2-3 hrs later after the missed call. Data is faster early in the morning and after 7 / 8pm. Outdoor and indoor coverage (in most large buildings) is excellent otherwise for calls / texts (sometimes roaming; but it's free). I guess i'm just in a bad spot in my neighborhood.Was this review helpful to you?
Tmobile 4G. I have zero reception 95% of the time in midtown NYC. I also have a Verizon blackberry on 3G network and that works great at the same location.Was this review helpful to you?
Barely get 3g service here. Service is bad inside and outside.Was this review helpful to you?
voice is OK. Data is useless here. I am on the 11th floor near the window. Most of the time during 9 - 5, there is no data connection. If there is one, the connection speed is 3G rather than 4G.Was this review helpful to you?

And now for the fun part: choosing your outreach activities!
The wonderful thing about science communication and outreach is that there are an almost infinite number of ways to share your science. We've made a quick list of some of the kinds of activities you can be involved in to share your science.

Scientists and Reporters Just Want to Get to the Bottom of It All
After just a few short months, my desk at the Los Angeles Times had succumbed to the same peculiar malady as my desk at Oregon State University, where I did my Ph.D. in paleoclimatology: It seemed to have sprouted a thin coat of fluorescent sticky notes. Each tiny square bore a fact that merited remembering or a question that demanded answering, and, every day, they multiplied.
Send us your science-themed Halloween costumes
Whether they're from the department party last year or your childhood obsession with Marie Curie, we want to see your science on display.

Worried about Speaking in Public? Try Toastmasters. Really.
That's right, Toastmasters, the outfit with the retro name that seems to promise insurance salesmen who shake your hand too hard, like that guy in the movie Groundhog Day who keeps pestering Bill Murray. "It's Ned! NED RYERSON!"
Yes, I was dubious, too.
But then la few weeks ago I actually went to a meeting…

Calling all scientists: Artify your Abstracts!
Abstracts are the quintessential means of getting the gist of your research out there to other scientists. But what if you want to reach a broader audience? What if you want to give your abstract that extra oomph that will combine its scientific rigor with some artistic creativity? Why, in that case you artify your abstract!

Three tips for sharing science with any audience
When researchers run an experiment in the laboratory, it is usually after taking time to craft and design the experiment that will provide the most accurate results. Science communication is the same: crafting a complex message about science before delivering it to the public takes time and editing to yield the best results.

AGU Communications Workshop Speaker Joe Romm on The Importance of Plain Language
By Mary Catherine Adams "There is no more important element in the technique of rhetoric than the continual employment of the best possible word," Winston Churchill said in his "The Scaffolding of Rhetoric."

imap fixed; still can't get imaps to work
Okay, it looks like the suggestion in this hint did the trick for getting my IMAP daemon working, at least in non-SSL mode. I'm still trying to get the other half working, but I can at least start using the IMAP server now.
$ sudo cp /etc/pam.d/ftpd /etc/pam.d/imap
I also did the security symlink, but it doesn't seem to have helped:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/include/pam /usr/include/security
I am, admittedly, cargo culting a bit here. When I figure out how to get this working and what had to happen to make it work, I'll come back and write a cleaner version of the steps that were followed.
imap fixed; still can't get imaps to work
Ahh, I've got it. Once the xinet.d changes have been made, you have to force the daemon to rescan its config file. The easiest way to do this is simply sudo killall -HUP xinetd; after doing this, I've got IMAP/SSL working again. W00t! :-)

Forever Part Of Me (With Justin Guarini) Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson
I've been wonderin' if it's time
To say what's on my mind
'Cause I'm in the dark
So what's in your heart?
I'm tryin' to find
I don't even know your name
But the thought of you remains
Suddenly my pulse is jumpin'
Do you feel the same?
I talk it over with my friends
And I guess it all depends
How you really feel
What can you comprehend?
sponsored linksYou could be just 'round the corner now
Hoping this love is yet to be found
[Chorus (Both:)]
It's not too late to call my name
So don't you look the other way
Open your eyes and you'll see
My heart won't wait, don't hesitate
We got a chance we gotta take
Feels like you could be forever part of me
It's gettin' right under my skin
(Right under my skin)
I don't know where to begin
Would I look the fool?
Should I play it cool?
Or jump right in?
How am I supposed to know
Whether I should come or go?
(Come or go)
I think it's time we let our feelings show
We might let that moment just pass us by
Then it's gone in the blink of an eye
[Repeat Chorus]

Watch The Bad Seed: Rachel is a 9-year-old girl who is perfection itself - unless she's crossed or challenged. Several disturbing recent incidents have led Rachel's mother Christine to suspect that her child is a latent murderess. Upon discovering that she herself is the daughter of a convicted killer, Christine becomes convinced that sweet little Rachel is a "bad seed" - an inherent killer who feels no remorse because she doesn't know any better.
