Warn Annoying Facebook Friends with Defriendtion App
Last updated at 11:17, Friday, 22 February 2013

We've all seen them, we all have them, we all roll our eyes at them. If you're on Facebook, you have at least one or maybe several friends who have such annoying social media habits that you wish you could slap them with an online 'time out'.
Of course, there are options to mute friends or hide their posts but how will they know how annoying they are? This is where Defriendtion comes in. This cheeky little free app allows you to issue your irritating Facebook friends with a post which calls them out on their behaviour and lets them know how long you're going to put them on time out.
We'll let Chris Heller, the app creator, explain it in more detail:
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RfzoxkBjupI
Need our top 5 Facebook status update pet peeves that require a defriendtion? We thought you would never ask!
1: One word followed by a triple dot
The one-word, triple dot status update is the signature mark of a person who desperately craves attention and recognition. That little leading word is just begging for someone to post a "what's up, hun?" kind of reply.
Shakespeare said that brevity is the soul of wit, but this is too much! If the event is significant enough then give us more than one word. That triple dot doesn't make it intriguing, it's just annoying.
2: Posting while driving
"There's so many bad drivers out today!"
"Man, this traffic is killing me!"
Seriously, how can you be messing around with your smartphone while controlling the most lethal object that most of us will ever own? There's a reason that this kind of behaviour is illegal, it's not just criminally annoying, it's also incredibly dangerous.
3: Boooored!
"So bored"
"Nothing goin' on"
If the best thing you can think to do is post on Facebook how nothing is happening then you deserve to be bored. You're sat right in front of a machine that lets you access the greatest educational tool mankind has ever created! Search Google to find out how black holes are formed or what the most poisonous animal on Earth is!
Alternatively, you could always go outside?
4: Lovey-dovey Vom-fests
"Just gotta tell the world how much I love my snuggle-bum McGorgeous Face!"
"Before you came along, I was walking around in a daze, now I'm walking on air."
By all means inflict this kind of nauseating mush on people who are within earshot. Don't subject the online population to it.
5: Unintentional Irony
"I just think it's sad that there's people suffering right now in Haiti and some people just talk about it on Facebook."
"Don't call people out over Facebook. Say it to my face!"
Have a think before you post. Are you about to eat a big slice of irony cake? Maybe rethink that little zinger you've been saving up!
Until Facebook developers a "dislike" button, apps like Chris Heller's Defriendtion are the way to give your friends a playful slap on the wrist. Innovative apps like this are growing in popularity as a report from last year estimated that almost 20 million are downloaded on a daily basis, providing opportunities for developer jobs as the app industry becomes ever more refined.

The New York Times and The Lieberman Purge
12:18 PM, Jul 30, 2006 • By DANIEL MCKIVERGAN
From a piece in the "Week in Review" section of today's New York Times:
"Politics stops at the water's edge" hasn't been true for many years. The 1980 election, for example, was dominated by the economy and national security. Jimmy Carter warned voters that Reagan was a dangerous man to elect in a nuclear-armed world, while Reagan accused Carter of weakness in the face of Soviet expansionism. Once in office, the majority of Democrats fought against Reagan's national security polices. There was a bitter ideological divide on Central America and Reagan's buildup-build down approach to the Soviets. Walter Mondale, Edward Kennedy, John Kerry and many other Democrats pushed the nuclear freeze and the notion that America was less secure under Reagan's leadership. In fact, in his announcement speech for president, Mondale said he was running "not just to seek a victory, but to point toward sanity. "Mindless, wasteful madness" is how he characterized Reagan's nuclear policies. But despite vocal Democratic opposition, Reagan was able to score many legislative victories on security issues with the help of something that is in short supply in today's Democratic Party -- Scoop Jackson Democrats.
Today, the one Democrat who most embodies that tough-minded spirit (a spirit embraced by Sens. Dole and McCain on Kosovo), Sen. Joe Lieberman, is being purged from his party and woke up this morning to read an editorial from the nation's most prominent liberal newspaper endorsing his primary opponent - the darling of Moveon.org.
And with all due respect to Sen. Schumer and Rep. Emanuel, once it become clear that wmd stockpiles were not going to be found, Democrats - see here and here - were happy to use Iraq as a political issue against the GOP.

I was there in 2006 december. Everything is oke like all other austrian thing:-)
I found this hotel to be at the very least adequate in all areas. 2 friends and I were spending one night in Vienna to take in the Euro Cup 2008. We wanted a room large enough to accommodate the three of us, have a private bathroom, and not pay too much for it.
The hotel is located out of...
This hotel is awful. It took 30 minutes to find our room and it turned out that we were in the run down apartment block next door!!! Decor was terrible, it felt like we were in the 1930's - and not in a good way, finding it difficult to find the appropriate words to describe the room. To call it...
The pluses:
Kaiserpark Schönbrunn has the friendliest staff I have ever met. They really make an effort to know and to serve their guests.
The breakfat is good.
The location is good: Subway station is close by and of course the Schönbrunn palace is only a short walk away.
It is an old building and therefore the rooms are very...
An older hotel, but still clean, neat and tidy. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean and the staff were friendly - so all the big things covered. The included breakfast was fantastic. Cheaper than hotels in the ring, but only 9mins by U-bahn from the centre of town (100m walk, runs til midnight every 4mins peak/8 mins off-peak, free with...
We were booked into this hotel by the Vienna Tourist Board the morning of our arrival as they had stuffed up our booking with another 4 star hotel. We took one look at our "double" room under the stairs (two skinny twin beds at opposite ends of the room, holes in the bedlinen, broken chair and ugly 1970s laminate fixtures),...
nice hotel,good location in vienna,austria.by the schonbrunn castle ,easy acces to the subway,good clean big room,very good breakfast,not so expensive,friendly service
We stayed at the Kaiserpark late September 2006. The hotel had an old fashioned feel to it, but was generally clean. Our bathroom could have done with a good scrub though, and the red bed linen was a bit off putting! Our room was at the back of the hotel so was generally quiet, but I wouldn't have liked to...
First of all, the hotel is located well near the station.It is just around 5 mins walk from the station and near to the must-go attraction of Schönbrunn Palace.
We lived at the room 117 which is quite strangely located. The room is not on the same level of 1st floor which the lift can reach. Instead we had to...
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The hotel clerk, Ehrhardt, who speaks nine languages was extremely helpful with maps, local places to eat, etc. The rooms are clean, large by European standards, nice full bath, beds very comfortable. The contenental breakfast was wonderful every morning. The location is excellent right across the street from Schoenbrunn...

My DS has been waking more and more during the night, needing to be nursed back to sleep. We can instead rock him or cuddle him back to sleep, but that takes thirty minutes or so, opposed to nursing's few minutes. The last two nights he's woken every half-hour or hour.
We co-sleep and are not willing to put him in the other room in his crib (that will come with time, easing into it), and CIO is not for us. We actually tried a few weeks ago to just hold him in bed until he screamed out all his energy and fell back asleep, after over a week of Daddy taking him and rocking him back to sleep, but the next day he was extremely clingy and he'd never before been clingy at all. Our inattentiveness was obviously not well-taken. So we went back to just nursing him back to sleep because my boyfriend can't get up with him every time he wakes up, forever.
Anyone else going through something similar or have any suggestions? CIO is not an option, or anything that could cause him to trust us less and become more clingy. Nursing him back to sleep eight times a night isn't pleasant, but I'd choose that for a while over lasting effects of not answering his cry to the best of our abilities. I know holding him and/ or rocking him are not CIO, but we tried that for a week with no improvement at all, and it actually was detrimental, so that option is now not too favored.
I think we probably just have to stick it out until he's old enough for us to explain that he needs to go back to sleep on his own, so if anyone wants to commiserate on this, feel free!

I think the intent in the original series was that Starfleet couldn't go into primitive cultures and mess with them.
Except that by using the judgmental word "primitive," you're playing into the very ethnocentric and colonialist assumptions that the PD is supposed to caution us against. The PD is about recognizing that it's wrong to define other cultures as "primitive" or inferior just because they have less technology -- that they are still just as capable of thinking for themselves and are better-qualified than you are to understand their own societies and find the right solutions to their problems.
This is why the 24th-century take on it in "Pen Pals" and especially "Homeward" is so ugly -- because it's forgotten that the PD is about respect for other cultures' equality and independence and has fallen back into the colonialist mentality of "They're too primitive and childish to think for themselves and so we have to make the decisions about their fate without giving them a say in the matter."
So I don't know how Picard works that out, given his absolute interpretation of the Prime Directive in Pen Pals, and the mis-interpretation of it in I Borg. When Picard had the chance to wipe out the Borg, he should taken the shot and infected them with the virus that Data and Geordi created.
Huh? That had nothing to do with the Prime Directive. That was about basic decency, about recognizing that Borg drones were victims rather than monsters and that it would be immoral to exterminate them.
Moreover, people keep forgetting that he
infect them with a disruptive meme: Hugh's individuality. The effect was the same: an entire population of drones was neutralized, taken away from the Collective. (Presumably whatever failsafes intervened to protect the rest of the Collective from the individuality meme would've been equally effective against the destructive program, and neither would've spread any farther.) It's just that they were liberated to think for themselves rather than mass-murdered.
The example Gene used, was the Spanish Missionaries and how they would go into an area and try to turn the local population into citizens of Spain, teach them a new religion, etc. It is judgmental. They do use the word primitive in their definition.
And what did Picard get for his bad decision...a bunch of rogue borg that still murdered colonists because they fell in with Lore. They also had the collective to deal with. If you are going to fight a war, you fight to win you don't drag it out. Like Kirk's definition of War in a Taste of Armageddon. Picard was looking for a clean solution, and war is never clean.

Christian Parents Upset Kids Being Taught About Jay Z
No wonder the American school system ranks lower than schools in some third world countries. One school in Mississippi wasted three days teaching middle schoolers about the accomplishments of thug rapper Jay Z.
The children were then tested on their knowledge about Jay-Z's "resilience" and they were instructed to memorize the lyrics to his song "Big Pimpin".
Of all the people to exemplify as a man of success and wealth, why choose a former crack dealer who still glorifies the gangster lifestyle in his songs?
Teacher posts explicit sex-ed brochures in Grade 7-8 class
A Toronto, Canada grade 7-8 teacher was placed on paid leave after he posted a sexually graphic brochure depicting a gay sex act on a bulletin board in his grade 7-8 classroom, the Toronto Sun reports.
Toronto District School Board (TDSB) officials suspended teacher Wade Vroom in May 2013 after he created a bulletin board in his classroom last October that included graphic illustrations on how to perform safe oral sex on men.
The teacher intended the brochure to be part of the Toronto school system's sex education curriculum. The brochure was published by the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT), and titled "Use Your Head When Giving It: Bl0w Job Tips."
Transgender Boy Wins Right to Use Girls' Restroom at School
A 6-year-old boy who believes he is a girl won the right to use the girls room at his school after his parents threatened to sue the Colorado school system for requiring him to use a separate bathroom.
Coy, who has identified as a girl since age 4, was pulled from the Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, CO, and home schooled while the lawsuit wound its way through the courts.
He has not undergone a sex-change operation. Therefore, he is still physically a boy.
Coy's parents, Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis, were shocked that the school prohibited their child, who has boy's genitals, from using the girls' restroom.
"This automatically singles her out and stigmatizes her," Kathryn Mathis said. "It sets her up for future harassing and bullying, and creates an unsafe environment. The school has a wonderful opportunity to teach students that differences are OK, and we should embrace their differences, instead of teaching them to discriminate against someone who is a little different."
Girls Told to Ask for Lesbian Kiss in School
The mainstream media refuses to cover this story because it doesn't fit their agenda.
Female students at a Red Hook, New York, middle school recently participated in a workshop intended to make them more comfortable with homosexuality.
The 13-and 14-year-old girls learned about homosexuality and gender identity at Linden Avenue Middle School. They were also taught terminology such as "pansexual" and "genderqueer," CBN reports.
The workshop was designed to bring awareness to the bullying and social stigma that young homosexuals sometimes experience.
At some point during the workshop, two of the girls were asked to stand up in front of the class and kiss each other, as if they were on a date.
The students' parents are outraged.
'Twerking' video gets 33 students suspended from high school
This is not what parents send their children to school to study. A disgraceful 'twerking' video got 33 students suspended from Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego after the viral video was brought to the school administration's attention.
Gawker.com reports that some 33 media students — mostly girls — were suspended for an array of school violations. The school's zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy prohibits "verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the educational setting."
The twerking video was filmed on the school's campus during school hours. 'Twerking' is slang for a dance that involves sexually suggestive gyrating movements of the hips, buttocks and pelvic areas.
Video: HS Student 'Twerks' His Proposal to the Prom
This video of a high school student "tweaking" his proposal to the prom has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube. But many are questioning the validity of the video or if it was staged. Watch the video after the break.
Parents of transgender 6-year-old files lawsuit against school that banned her from using the girls' restroom
The parents of 6-year-old boy who believes he is a girl are threatening to sue the Colorado school system for requiring the "girl" to use a separate bathroom from other girls in the school.
Jeremy and Kathryn Mathis, the parents of Coy Mathis, took their complaints to the Katie Couric show.
Coy's parents were baffled as to why the school system decided to "single out" Coy who still has male genitals.

Smasher (1996)
by Dick King-Smith
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I thought I hadn't read this before but not too many pages in I realized I had. My eldest son was quite fond of this author so we've had a lot of his books in the house and I still have some left, but my youngest never took to them. Smasher is a cute book. A bit of a take on the ugly duckling story. This is an easy chapter book as well. Probably good for average 3rd grade readers. This is a realistic story of a "throwback" puppy of a litter; he's not weak or a runt. In fact he's the biggest and strongest, but looks nothing like the mother or other pups and is, in the farmer's opinion down right ugly. Smasher truly owns his name by causing all sorts of trouble from chasing chickens and sheep to entering the house, stealing a steak, whizzing in the living room and causing major havoc. Mrs. Farmer has enough and orders the pup begone. In this heart-warming story the kind-hearted farmer has grown too fond of "Smasher" to get rid of him so instead secretly spends three months training him. On his first day back to the farm Smasher surprises everyone with a skill no one knew he had. Now he can earn his bread and board as a house dog! I'm not familiar with the illustrator but Richard Bernal has adorable old-fashioned drawings that let the story remain ageless. Though the text does tell us their are "video recording machines".

Leapin Lizard GalleryRead MoreEven massive TVs or wall-sized smartphones just can't replicate the experience of watching a movie on the silver screen. That being said, modern first-run theaters can put a damper on a family night out with exorbitant ticket and concession prices. Like time-traveling back to the golden days of affordable cinema, The Screens at Cincinnati Mall gives moviegoers all of the first-run perks—pristine projection, huge screens, crisp digital sound, and high-backed rocking seats—without siphoning wallets. With eight auditoriums, The Screens delivers moviegoing memories 365 days a year with a constant rotation of second-run blockbusters, including kids' films, horror flicks, action-adventures, rom-coms, and com-roms (movies about computers that hate each other at first, then fall in love). All the while, the concession stand keeps appetites at bay with a wealth of theater staples, including popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pretzels, sodas, and healthy fruit juices.726 Main StreetCovington, KY US

Fearless Compassion
A friend of mine recently started taking horseback riding lessons. I love watching her ride and seeing the unadulterated joy radiate from her when she is in the saddle.

Do Cats Know There Is a Future?
Human cognition is increasingly recognized as not that special among our animal cousins.

Dogs and Existential Psychology
Dog lovers know that picking a breed is often an important part of responsible pet ownership. It also says a lot about ourselves and can be a source of self-awareness. Choosing a pet that is a good fit is important for the family as well as for the dog. Too often, a wrong match can lead to the pet being mislabeled as a "bad dog" or not...
Leveling the Playing Field: A Place in the Herd
I live in a Central Ohio suburb. It's the kind of place where kids play on the street in front of their homes while dogs lie on front porches watching the world go by and the neighbors all know each other by name. On a summer evening, the smell of steaks cooking on outdoor grills and freshly cut grass waft through the air. The white picket...

For months during lunch period, students sold "Save One, Save Gray" shirts and bracelets to help spread awareness.
The week before Valentine's Day, students brought in coins and dollar bills for the annual round of Penny Wars, a long tradition of pitting each grade against one another to raise money. Pennies earn that grade positive points, and silver coins and dollar bills earn them negative points.
At the end of the week, Student Council put on the King and Queen of Hearts assembly to showcase school talent. The two grades that received the most points from Penny Wars, proceeded to attend the assembly on Feb. 14. Students performed musical acts, dance routines and stand-up comedy.
At the end of the assembly, the Everaard family was presented with a check for $4,000. Students plan to continue raising money for the rest of the school year.
"It is an amazing feeling to know the entire school is stepping up to make a difference," said Alecia Day, the student council sponsor. "We have made such a difference in this family's life. I never expected for the school's (students) to open up their hearts — and wallets — for this young boy in such a large manner.
"We fully exceeded my expectations. I wish we could help so many others, but I feel good that we were able to make an impact in the lives of the Everaards."

Iran dismisses remarks by Canada's foreign minister about Iran election
Tue Jun 18, 2013 9:55AM
"Remarks of this type have been made by the Canadian foreign minister several times, and I have come to the conclusion that one should doubt his (Baird's) political judgment," Araqchi noted.Hojjatoleslam Hassan Rohani emerged victorious in Iran's June 14 election, which was marked by a high voter turnout, winning 50.7 percent of a total of 36,704,156 ballots counted. The voter turnout in the election was 72.7 percent, according to Iran's Interior Ministry. Protests in Turkey Commenting on the recent protests in Turkey, Araqchi called on both the Turkish people and the government to exercise restraint. The unrest in Turkey erupted after police broke up a sit-in staged at Istanbul's Taksim Square on May 31 to protest against a government plan for the redevelopment of Gezi Park in the city. The Turkish prime minister has faced international condemnation for his handling of the crisis. Turkish police have also been strongly criticized for using excessive force against the peaceful protests. Five people, including a police officer, have reportedly been killed in the clashes and nearly 7,500 have been injured. YH/HSN/HJL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Even while Consumer Reports is showing hospitals owned and operated by physicians among the best in the country, some in Congress are trying to shut them down in the name of "healthcare reform."
The independent testing and research organization released a new study last week considering the comments of over one-million patients around the country. Overwhelmingly, Consumer Reports found that patients prefer the quality of care received at physician owned and operated hospitals, supporting previous independent studies including federal government data available at the CMS Hospital Compare website.
"Physician owned and operated hospitals are clearly among the best in America," said Molly Sandvig, Executive Director of Physician Hospitals of America (PHA). "It is clear that the only reason physician hospitals are being attacked is to take away competition in the hospital market place. President Barack Obama acknowledges that competition is healthy in the insurance industry - the same absolutely holds true for hospitals."
Sandvig adds, "This survey should have a significant impact on anyone seriously considering patient satisfaction and quality care as true concerns in healthcare. It is neither logical nor acc

I think the key is probably to look at total transactions as that shows how much growth there is. I'm looking at air ticketing transactions up 36% y-o-y, hotels and packages up 59%. Revenue less service cost for hotels and packages were up 57% y-o-y. That's pretty tremendous growth
"Flipkart in advanced talks with MakeMyTrip to launch a ticketing platform"
By Aditi Shrivastava, ET Bureau | 15 Jul, 2015, 06.32AM IST
Flipkart is in advanced talks with MakeMyTrip to launch a ticketing platform, the online retailer's push into services as part of efforts to grow into a onestop shop for a range of offerings by the end of this year.
"We are planning to integrate ticketing powered by MakeMyTrip on the Flipkart marketplace, which means that a customer will be able to book air and rail tickets from the Flipkart platform," said a senior employee at Flipkart who is privy to the company's plans.
Flipkart declined to comment and MakeMyTrip, which is listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, did not reply to emails from ET.
Sounds like they are cutting pricing to maintain market share as the growth toward online booking of hotels is really strong. I'm willing to hold this I think. Fact is only 7% of hotel bookings are online and they have a 40% market share, per the call this morning.
"As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately 3.3 million members, 20% of which contribute significantly to our overall business. "
This figure was 800,000 at 3/31/2014.

Unknown Contributor Role: Pat Torpey.
Not quite as impressive as 1997's One Step Up/Two Steps Back: The Songs of Bruce Springsteen, with whom it shares two artists (E Street guitarist Nils Lofgren and this album's artistic director, Elliott Murphy), Light of Day: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen presents 37 tracks also spread over two discs. Interestingly, only six songs are duplicated, and different artists perform them. This is not only a testament to Springsteen's quantity of work, but a cursory listen to these songs shows the quality as well. In any case, there is a lot of music here. The focus is Springsteen as singer/songwriter, which results in a large proportion of unplugged strumming guitars and rootsy, rearranged versions with an emphasis on vocals and lyrics. The acts range from the well-known but not quite superstars (Elvis Costello, Cowboy Mouth, Pete Yorn, Billy Bragg) to recognizable club-sized performers (Patty Griffin, Graham Parker, Steve Wynn, the Clarks) to obscure but heartfelt musicians (everyone else). Given the approach, albums such as Tunnel of Love and especially Nebraska are mined for their more introspective tunes. Still, there are a fair share of rockers here (Parker's "Pink Cadillac," Joe Grushecky's "Light of Day") although except for a frantic "Born to Run" from Cowboy Mouth, most are slowed down or given a more sensitive reading. Released in 2003, there are no tracks from either The Rising or 1995's The Ghost of Tom Joad and only a few from 1992's Human Touch and Lucky Town. The disc does unearth some interesting obscurities -- Lofgren's version of "Man at the Top," Marc Broussard's "Back in Your Arms," the Paradise Brothers' "Souls of the Departed" among them -- that spotlight Springsteen's less popular work. Most of the music has been recorded specifically for this project -- a benefit for Parkinson's disease and sarcoma, a rare form of cancer -- but some such as Dion's beautiful "Book of Dreams," Griffin's lonely "Stolen Car," and Mark Wright's "Two Hearts" have been previously released on these artists' albums. Each comes with a short but incisive commentary from the performer. Even though some of the rearrangements are radical (Kirk Kelly strips "Downbound Train" to just ukulele!), they all convey the songs' emotions, in some cases arguably better than the originals. With two and a half hours of music, the album is best taken in small doses where the listener can soak it all in. Nonetheless, this is a successful project, one that does what it sets out to do, and should be embraced by Springsteen aficionados as well as fans of the acts involved. ~ Hal Horowitz

Most days I am successful at managing my ADHD without medication but today I am having an off day. I can't focus on anything and pregnancy brain isn't help either. Can any other moms relate? Ugh!
ADHD/ADD and pregnancy
Comments (10)
David+Maci = Daesyn 09/12/07, Deklyn 05/05/09, Dridyn 01/21/12, hoping for a girl! 07/18/13
But then, I almost never functioned well without it.
What medication are you on? I was on Adderall XR but I had a MC in July and I was still taking the adderall because I didn't know I was pregnant. I know it was probably not related but I am scared to take it. I used to be Straterra but that did nothing for me. My poor husband is taking the brunt of my disorganized life. This is his first time he has seen me off the medication for a long period of time and I think he is not sure what to do with me. LOL.
my hubby has ADHD but we wont medicate him, when his parents did, it helped but he became a zombie. do any of you know natural things that can help? he can be bad with it 90% of the time and id like him to be able to work with it better
I'm ADHD and have never been medicated... My mom chose not to medicate me when I was young. I've been having a hard time dealing with it this pregnancy, I can't focus on anything!
At least SO gets a kick out of it, he thinks the short attention span + P-brain is funny.
under pressure. I think if I can force myself to make lists and follow them, I may be able to better manage... Probably wishful thinking though.
Married my hero on 09/22/2007.
Expecting our little lion heart, Willa around 07/29/2013.
I am ADHD (as is my ODS) and honestly while I keep him medicated I don't medicate me while pregnant. Basically the medication is legal meth and honestly I dont' feel right putting that into my unborn's body. (ODS is on adderall but his is very regulated and we regularly see his doc for blood work/weight checks/blood pressure checks.)
I find drinking my caffeine each day has helped me. Remember that up to 200mg a day is safe so a can or two of your favorite soda may help. Also I keep in mind that once I am done breastfeeding I can go back on the meds but until then I use alot of meditation, sodas, and lists.
Mom to ODS 4/05, YDS 10/09, and DD 6/13
My husband thinks its funny too how my non medicated brain works. My parents did not medicate me either but I decided as adult that I needed something. I struggled throughout school but I made it through.

Browder's next gig could be Alaska
FORT MYERS - Former Lee County superintendent Dr. James Browder flying to Anchorage, Alaska this week for a job interview.
After being considered for jobs in Broward County, Nevada and Tennessee, Browder is one of two finalists for a superintendent job in Anchorage.
"I would certainly hope that you and everybody else as you look at what I've done, you judge me as a K-12 person for 36 years," Browder told Alaskan TV station KTBY-TV. "As opposed to a 5 1/2, 6 month stint at a state college where it really didn't work out and I didn't fit in."
Last May, Edison State College voted to terminate Browder's contract offering him $175,000 to walk away.
Now he's interviewing for the top job in Anchorage - the largest district in the state.
Anchorage school board member Don Smith says he was impressed with Browder's background, noting that he seems "very well qualified."
But Smith says he plans to ask Browder about a number of things we have reported on - like transportation troubles in Lee County, his salary, why he quit the school board and his management style.
"We got to work with this person daily for the next upteen years," said Smith. "So you want to make sure we make the right decision."
Smith says about eight to 10 Lee County residents have been emailing him criticizing Browder.
"They seem very rabid," said Smith. "To the extent that they would try to figure out how to get a hold of us and shoot off an email."
"Frankly," he said, "I have never seen this much animosity shown by people that have no ax to grind."
Smith says he plans to take those emails into consideration.
Browder will be in Anchorage Thursday, Friday and Saturday for meetings, interviews and a meet-and-greet with the community.
"How much of his past and the controversies that are surrounding him are going to weigh in on your decisions in Alaska?," asked Fox 4 reporter Matt Grant.
"Well just so you know this information was not, we knew about it when he made the final cut," said Smith.
About 150 people nationwide applied for the job. Browder is now in the final two.
The job pays between $160-$200K per year.
Smith says he will ask Browder this week about the emails and concerns of some Lee County residents.
"They seem to really be really about it," said Smith. "So it's certainly something you want to find out, you want to know what kind of personality the person really has."

Re: Printing in response to hindenberg Helpful
Is the problem only with printing from the MacBook Pro or does it happen with any device? What is the make & model of your printer and the wireless router that you are using?
hindenberg Apr 14, 2013 2:18 AM
Re: Printing in response to Tesserax
It's taken me half an hour to work out how to reply to this--that's how easy I find the Mac and this 'support'! I don't use any other device , so can't say. The printer is an EpsonSX535WD, which was set up for us by the local Apple shop as we couldn't manage that either! The router, if I have the correct piece of equipment, is a BT hub 2.0.
How is anyone supposed to know how to work anything without some sort of instruction book?
Tesserax Apr 14, 2013 8:22 PM
Re: Printing in response to hindenberg Helpful
Your Epson SX535WD has built-in wireless so I am assuming that you have it configured to join the wireless network provided by your BT HomeHub router and is not connected to the MacBook Pro by USB ... correct?
Regardless, please verify that your printer is still listed. You can do this on your MBP by going to System Preferences > Print & Scan. Your Epson should be listed and be the correct model. Is it?
hindenberg Apr 15, 2013 4:51 AM
Re: Printing in response to Tesserax
Yes--printer is listed and we're trying to use it wirelessly, as we always have. Even if we connect with a lead it isn't always printing. It seems that it will print some things but not others.We haven't a clue!
Tesserax Apr 16, 2013 2:42 PM
Re: Printing in response to hindenberg
If you're still having printing issues when the MBP is connected directly, then the issue isn't wireless but possibly with the printer or the printer driver installed on the MBP.
I would suggest that you try either reinstalling the printer driver from the original installation CD that came with the printer or download the very latest version directly from Epson.
hindenberg Apr 21, 2013 11:51 AM
Re: Printing in response to Tesserax
MBP--hmm, now what would that be?? Eventually called in a computer expert--we hope it's fixed!
Thanks for you help--sorry we're just too inexperienced to follow.

Valsa George
My Wanderlust - Poem by Valsa George
At times I wander far….
Far away from all human habitats
Away from all prying eyes
Following the bent
Of my vagrant inclination;
Into Nature's sylvan pockets
To places studded with trees
To the tranquil bosom of the woods
Onto the heights of bald headed hills
Where shrubs struggle to strike root
From the cleft of rocks and ledges
Where in hollows, wild bushes grow in clusters
To watch the shreds of hovering mist
To gaze upon piles of sailing clouds
To shout loud and whistle long
And to listen to the hills
Mimicking my own sound
There I will hop and jump,
Like a sprightly forest fawn,
As I don't fear
Either the silently gliding streams,
Or the clump of swaying trees,
The host of wild flowers,
Or the monstrous mossy rocks,
Either the birds or the beasts
Never will they watch my cranky pranks
And call me a loony
As here my own men might do!

Your poem reminds me of the lines from Tennyson
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees...
But do all places to visit have to be lonely where you only hear echo of your own voice. One may be able to achieve this by closing eyes in a closed room with no one around and delve into a moment of imagination. But all the nature's features in your poem are beautiful and attractive.

The Alaska Aces did not practice Monday, or even play a hockey game, but they generated news nonetheless -- they assessed the fallout from the San Francisco Bulls folding and had their roster shuffled significantly.
The ECHL and the Bulls announced Monday that the franchise immediately ceased operations after one and a half seasons because of massive debt and the inability to lure new ownership.
For the Aces, who play in the Western Conference that included the Bulls, San Francisco's demise left significant gaps in their schedule. Alaska still had seven games -- four road matches and three at home -- scheduled against the Bulls, matching the Bakersfield Condors for most games left against San Francisco.
Aces managing member Terry Parks said the club has in hand a revamped preliminary schedule designed by the ECHL, and he expects the league to announce the changes Wednesday. Parks said the Aces will still play their allotted 36 home games but will play 70 games overall in the regular season instead of the usual 72.
Parks said all eight Western Conference teams will make the playoffs, and because teams will play an unbalanced schedule, playoff seedings will be determined by regular-season winning percentage.
On the roster front, Aces standout goaltender Olivier Roy was summoned to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League, as was defenseman Drew MacKenzie. Abbotsford returned winger and Aces alternate captain Jordan Kremyr to Alaska and also assigned defenseman Zach McKelvie to the club.
Minor-league hockey teams folding, suspending operations or moving in-season are rare. The ECHL last ran into teams folding in-season in 2008, when both the Augusta Lynx and Fresno Falcons went bust.
San Francisco coach Pat Curcio, who helped bring hockey back to the Bay Area, last week told the San Francisco Chronicle the franchise lost about $2 million in its debut campaign last season and was on track to eat that much again.
Curcio said on the team's website Monday that a lead on new ownership did not pan out.
"We had a great opportunity come to us that would've kept the Bulls in San Francisco at least through the end of the 2014 season, with potential for future seasons, but we ran out of time to complete all ends of the deal,'' Curcio said. "At this point, the best thing to do financially is to reluctantly end the season. We will miss playing here, miss our fans, and miss the city.''
Parks said the Bulls were in difficult circumstances from the outset. The cost of living in San Francisco is very high. The Bulls played in an old building, the Cow Palace, that wasn't particularly suitable for hockey. The franchise's start-up expenses were high and attendance declined precipitously in its second season.
After averaging 4,164 fans per home game last season at the Cow Palace to finish 10th in average attendance among 23 teams, the Bulls this season averaged 2,292 fans through 18 home games. That plunge of 45 percent left the Bulls 21st out of 22 ECHL teams in average attendance.
"It was a bad situation,'' Parks said. "We hate to see them go.''
Sharply declining attendance similarly plagued Fresno in the 2008-09 season, when the club folded a few days before Christmas. The Falcons averaged 5,035 fans per home game in 2007-08, but that declined nearly 35 percent, to 3,284, before the team ceased operations.
All Bulls players who were under ECHL contracts -- those are strictly one-year deals -- immediately became free agents.
As for the Aces, who Wednesday night open a three-game home series against the Idaho Steelheads at Sullivan Arena, Roy's promotion to Abbotsford will test veteran goaltender Gerald Coleman.
Coleman on Saturday night in Colorado backstopped a 4-1 win with 27 saves in his third appearance since offseason hip surgery. He has yet to play games on consecutive nights this season, and this week will likely start three games in four nights against the Steelheads, who the Aces also play Friday and Saturday.
"He said he's ready to play,'' Aces coach Rob Murray said of Coleman. "At least we're not playing three (games) in three (days). We have Thursday off. It makes a difference. But I would say it's a push for him.''
Murray said he will likely use an emergency back-up goaltender to fill his roster against Idaho.
Kremyr's return will lend depth to the Aces' depleted crew of forwards. Winger Evan Trupp remains up with Abbotsford, and forwards David Eddy, Andy Taranto and Tim Coffman have been out with injuries.
Murray said McKelvie is a defenseman by trade, but Abbotsford has been transitioning him to forward. Still, Murray said, with defenseman James Martin out with a lower-body injury suffered last week in Colorado, he will play McKelvie on defense to start his stint with the Aces.
