Screen Jumping up & down
Suddenly since couple of days my phone is behaving weird and causing the screen to jump up and down. It happens even if no Apps are open in background, or when I am browsing or into some App. I had recently downloaded the MX Player and activated the H/W+ decoder. But even after removing this App I find it bothering me. I have even Cleared the Cache since then without any luck. Also, when this screen is jumping I am unable to restart the phone beyond the Samsung logo screen. Always have to remove Battery and wait for couple of mins to restart so that it works again. I am avoiding to take it to service center because their only solution always is to setup the software fresh and thereby wiping my phone to factory settings.
See attached video for the issue.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
You'll end up wasting a lot more time and energy if you don't wipe and reload....
Re: Screen Jumping up & down
Have you done a factory reset?? I would be money that it is an app that is not playing nicely. What apps do you have installed?

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
I am suspecting the MX Players H/W+ decoder to be the cause. I did clear cache a couple of times again now after Uninstalling that app. The jumping seems to have stopped or reduced to once a day. I had done that before starting the thread here too but looks like that was result of some leftovers in the system which is slowly going away. Patiently monitoring now before the need for reset. Its painful to do a factory reset and get your stuff back.

Use helium to back your apps up if you're not rooted.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
Ok, just an update.. The jumping has not stopped, keeps appearing in couple of days, stays ok for couple of days.
So my initial suspect MX Player is not the culprit. Phew..
I have taken the plunge and reset to factory settings to see if this solves the issue. It is as good as new, no Apps installed currently and as suspected, IT DOESNT HELP. The jumping is back even as I am setting up the 1st step of the phone.
So the phone is basically screwed and will need to be taken to Samsung for check. I shall do it soon and update here.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
Ok, back in business.. It was not a software issue, they reinstalled entire OS but problem was there.. further digging lead to conclusion that LCD display was ****ed. So they kept for a day and replaced whole module.. so far working good. And plus point was my multiple dents on side steel have vanished since its all 1 piece set of LCD with sides. Looks like brand new after 7 months of usage. Gonna put on a bumper now that its new again. Had used 7 months without screen guard or any case.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
Well well.. I am back to square one after all these changes. Looks like Samsung Singapore techies dont know **** about this phone and are just trying their luck changing this and that. The disturbance in screen is back on my Note 3 even after installing a brand new LCD module. Going to take it back today and fire them. Dont know what they will change next, I am guessing Motherboard. How I miss Apple, when they replace the whole phone !
Re: Screen Jumping up & down
I'm sure they'll replace it for you if it continues.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
Hi I just want to ask, what happened to the phone? Were they able to fix the issue after you returned the phone? Had there been any other replacement aside from the LCD? My Samsung S5 is experiencing same issues that you had, screen keeps on jumping and then it would stop responding and it would freeze. The only fix is by removing the batteries. I will be bringing my phone to the nearest service center, I just want to be prepared on what results I might get Thank you dear I hope you can shed some light, I am really feeling very frustrated with my phone.

Re: Screen Jumping up & down
I got the phone working ever since with the replacement of yet another LCD module.. The entire set of LCD was changed twice. Maybe initially they just tried their luck with minor adjustments. But the last repair has been great and working for more than a year again.

A memorial garden has been unveiled to remember two Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers who were killed while investigating a suspected burglary.
PCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, were shot dead in Hattersley, Tameside, on 18 September.
During a ceremony at Hyde police station, the mothers of the officers released doves into the air.
Sir Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of GMP, said the garden was a "special place" for the two officers' friends, family and colleagues.

If you're jetlagged or weren't able to sleep on the plane, give yourself a day or two to rest up. Most flights from the US to Scotland are at night. And you lose five hours in the transatlantic flight. Going for 36+ hours with no sleep is exhausting and makes it difficult to enjoy sightseeing the first day. But if you CAN sleep on the plane, you'll have fewer problems. Allow a few days to get fully adjusted to the time change and be aware that in summer there's very little darkness.
Any time you visit Scotland, especially the Highlands, from spring to fall, you should probably dress for late fall/ early spring in the US. Forget the sandals, shorts, Capri pants or any other type of summer clothing, unless you're staying in Southern Scotland. I've heard of some people having to buy a whole new wardrobe once they arrived because they misjudged the weather. The further north you go, especially into the Highlands and Islands, the colder it gets. The weather in Scotland is unpredictable and can change in five minutes. It rains A LOT and the wind is usually cold and brisk, even in summer. In certain areas, it can snow any month of the year, although this is probably rare in July and August. But I have seen snow in June. I've found it easiest to layers of sweaters and jackets that I can add to or remove depending on the temperature. A good rain jacket or rain coat with a hood is a must. Not only does it protect you from the driving rain you might be caught out in, but it also acts as a windbreaker. Umbrellas are useless most of the time because of the wind. Ski hats can even be worn in June. Sure, the Scots might laugh at you, but you will be warm. LOL Some especially cold and windy places are coastlines and the tops of mountains.
|While driving in Scotland, watch for red deer, which could be on the road.
|Ditto for the sheep.
|Making use of a pull off or passing place.
Unless you like driving 80 MPH on narrow, curvy roads, on the wrong side of the road, cars will likely ride your bumper. It's probably best to pull over into the pull-off or passing spots, marked with a sign--a "P" on a blue background. Or a different sign that says "Passing Place." The Scots will appreciate this and show it by honking their horns briefly.
If you're going anywhere away from the large cities of Scotland, remember to take food and water with you. In some of the smaller towns and villages, you should be able to find restaurants open at reasonable hours from mid-spring to mid-fall. But if it's after hours or mid-fall to mid-spring, don't expect many restaurants to be open. Your options may be limited. This is a good thing. It simply makes you appreciate the food you find that much more. LOL One night we had planned to eat at a pub, the only restaurant in the area, but there was a power outage. Good thing we had snacks.
|You want to have phone service here.
Scotland's superstores or supercenters are Tesco and ASDA. They're similar to Wal-Mart in that they sell food, clothing and a lot of other necessities at low prices. You may find you need an extra jacket, batteries, a phone, food or something to drink and these would be a good place to find things like that without breaking the bank. They rarely sell souvenirs or cool things made in Scotland. Go to smaller shops for that. Scotland also has Coops which are similar to superstores in that they sell a wide variety of things, but they're smaller and will be found in the smaller towns that don't have superstores.
|No superstores out here.
|Kilt Rock. Definitely a place to stop for photos.
If you're going with your spouse or significant other, be aware that most Scottish beds for two people are double, which to me is way too small. Queen-sized or king-sized beds are difficult to find unless the hotel or B&B has been recently renovated. Single beds are also plentiful.
I've found National Car Rental to be the most economical for car rental or car hire. We were able to get an automatic for around 400 GBP for two weeks. Automatics are hard to come by in the UK so if you can drive a manual, shifting with your left hand, the cost should be even less. If possible, reserve one ahead of time, but this doesn't guarantee your car will be there when you show up. Don't you just love surprises like that? :)
Gas or Petrol in the UK is more expensive than it is in the US but most of their cars get far better gas mileage. The last one we rented (see photo above) got 50 miles per gallon.
Do you have any Scotland travel tips to add to my list? I'm still learning so I'll take all the tips I can get.

We were all set to go in July... then something came up... now I have to find another good time! Your travel tips were GREAT!! Thanks! email@example.com
Anonymous Says:
If you go in July and your hotel room is hot and muggy...do NOT call the front desk to tell them the a/c isn't working. I would love to know what she told the others after she said "Madam we do not have air conitioning". Probably something like- 'what a bunch of idiots these Americans are'.
Chrisbails Says:
I would love to go to Scotland, but not something I could afford. Maybe I could win a trip to go. That would be awesome. I live in Iowa and we have tons of problems with deers, my husband has no put himself in the ditch twice to miss dear. You see them dead on the side of the road all the time or running in the fields. Scotland is a beautiful country and would love to go there someday. If not a calendar would be the next best thing. I love the pictures that you post on your blog and love checking them out also.
Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.
Tamara Hunter Says:
Great post! Your travel tips were wonderful!!
derekd Says:
Thanks for all the great info Vonda. The pics too. You left me hankerin for a trip. Cold and wet, sounds like my kinda place.
I'm sorry to hear that, Terree! I hope you get to go soon!
Anonymous, yes, I've heard it can get pretty warm in Edinburgh and Glasgow and other places in the south of Scotland during July and August. I'm sure they get several Americans asking for AC then. LOL! Further north you're probably less likely to need AC. I've never been to Scotland in July or August, nor have I ever been hot in Scotland. On sunny, calm days it can get warm in May, June and October (the months I've been) but these are kinda rare. Of course this is because I'm from the southern US. People from Canada or Alaska, etc. are not likely to notice it being any colder than where they come from.
Chrisbails, I hope you do win a trip! We're also starting to have more deer around here. I love watching them! Thanks so much for checking out my pics! I'm glad you enjoy them!
Tamara, thanks so much! I hope you get to use them! :)
Derek, LOL that's what my husband says. He also likes cool or colder weather. But the wind bothered him. Hope you get to go soon and wear your kilt. :)
Margery Scott Says:
I have no travel tips to offer, but I can tell you Scotland is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I was born in Scotland but haven't been back since I left. I'd love to go back to my home town, and also to go to the Shetland Islands and visit my bil, who moved back there a few years ago.
Margery, I agree with you about Scotland being one of the most beautiful places on earth. How cool that you were born there. I hope you get to go back soon!
Pat McDermott Says:
Oh, those roundabouts! Air conditioning in Ireland used to be "open the window (yuh stupid Yank)." Now the newer hotels are air conditioned, but I doubt rural Scotland has become so decadent. I've visited Edinburgh briefly. Your post has left me longing to see more. Maybe I will!
Paisley Kirkpatrick Says:
You really spin those words and photos to make a girl homesick, Vonda. I am ready to go packed or not. You with me?!
One thing we found was using the ATMs as they are everywhere and you get the correct currency. We didn't get any money until we hit the airport in Glasgow.
If you are lucky as us, you make friends with someone in the breakfast room. We met a couple from England and they asked us to join them on a bus trip to the Isle of Mull out of Oban. It included a ferry trip and then a bus ride on a road that in the states would be for bikes. ;) The whole day was great because they were seasoned travelers and knew the ins and outs of getting to the interesting places.
If you get to Eilean Donan castle, you must have a Million Dollar Bar treat at the store/eatery there. It is worth a trip back for a second one...right Vonda?! This castle has to be one of the most photographed castles and has a great tour inside.
There is never a dull moment and I cannot wait to return. I left my heart there someplace and must go back to find it.
Sheila Mulholland Says:
Don't expect ice in your Coke, you'll be lucky if it's even cold. the local soft drink is Irn Bru- neo orange with more carbonation that I have ever had in my life. But you do need to try one. Good food, best dessert is cranachan- oats,honey,cream,whiskey with raspberries..something else but it's like a pudding, wonderful, and I don't even like raspberries.
I felt like I was home.
Maeve Says:
Two weeks is NOT long enough. If you can swing it - stay longer. I wish I had. I'm ready to go back right now!
Thanks Pat! I hope you get to visit again. I haven't yet had the need for AC in Scotland. I would think opening the window would do the trick. LOL
Paisley, yes, I'm ready to head back to Scotland!! :) How wonderful you met new friends and went to Isle of Mull with them. The Million Dollar bars are scrumptious! The ones at Eilean Donan are better than the ones elsewhere!
Sheila, that's true about the ice! I think I drank water mostly the last time I was there. I have tried Irn-Bru before at a Highland Games. I'll have to try that dessert next time! Sounds yummy!
Maeve, I agree that two weeks isn't long enough! I'd love to stay for a month!
Cathy Stewart Says:
Loved your post and photos! I'm headed to Scotland in April, so your tips are so timely. Everyone says to dress in layers and to wear the coat you love since most of your photos will be made with you wearing it :)

That's true, Cathy! Wear a rain jacket or coat you love. Enjoy your trip! Also don't forget the waterproof shoes.
June, thanks! That is one of my dreams... to stay in a castle for a week! I checked one (Dornoch, http://www.dornochcastlehotel.com/) but it was booked up. I also want to stay in a thatched roof cottage for a week. :)
Joanne Says:
You have shown us beautiful pictures of Scotland. I always wanted to see where my ancestors came from. Thanks.
Carly Carson Says:
Great tips. I don't do the driving on the wrong side myself. That's what hubby is for. (How unenlightened of me, but he doesn't let me drive on either side if he's with me so I might as well embrace it.) I love the weather in Scotland. They have the cozy clothes to keep you warm anyway.
Cyndi Tefft Says:
What beautiful pictures! I couldn't agree more with your travel tips. Those roundabouts nearly killed me. *shudders* We went to Scotland last May and are headed back next May. I would go twice a year if I could. I love that place!
Here is a video I made of last year's trip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kteYVS1N36s
Eilean Donan Castle and the Clava Cairns were my favorites, though I would highly recommend staying at Dalhousie Castle if you can afford to. The night porter, Peter, gave us a fantastic tour of the castle. Not to be missed!

Joanne, thanks! I'm glad you liked the pics!
That's true, Carly. You can wear all sorts of neat wool sweaters, hats, and scarves in Scotland. :) Driving on the left is an adventure. Hope you get to try it sometime.
Cyndi, thanks! I wish I could go twice a year too! I'm a huge fan of Eilean Donan Castle. I enjoyed your video! I simply have to stay in a castle at some point. Good thing several have been turned into hotels.
Wanda, I hope you get to go to Scotland soon! It's amazing!
I used a random number generator to choose the winner... June M.! Congratulations! I'm emailing you. Thanks again to everyone for reading my post and commenting. Happy Holidays!
Hotel breaks Scotland Says:
Scotland is a beautiful travel destination. It offers lots of different attractions to visit and activities to do. No matter if you visit the country with your family or with friends, you will always have a great time.
Renting a car certainly gives you freedom and flexibility when traveling in Scotland as you're not tied to a timetable and you can go to almost anywhere of interest. Just make sure, however, that you know your route before you start so you can have a safe and enjoyable journey.

A report published yesterday, based on a survey of 226 agencies, says there was a marked lack of prevention initiatives for local homosexual communities.
Researchers found that 169 organisations were giving no warning to homosexual men about risks of spreading the disease, and 95 per cent of the agencies devoted only limited time and money to the homosexual community.
The survey, commissioned jointly by North West Thames Regional Health Authority and several Aids groups and charities, asked the agencies why their projects omitted to target homosexual men. Fourteen said they believed there were none in their district; 16 said there was 'managerial opposition' to such projects; 41 said they did not know how to contact homosexual men. One district co-ordinator said: 'We have no homosexual community here; you might try district 'X', they have a theatre'.

Forget about the play. Go see the actor, Alfred Molina – this man who is onstage for 90 minutes and lets himself be unattractive, lost and ugly and lonely. Brits do that onstage and in film. They let themselves be not pretty because they are grown up actors. Take Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal. Too bad this was Helen Mirren's year. Maybe someday Judi will get the right award at the right time. American actors would like to grow up as well, I think – or is it that the grown up actors would just like to work?
Howard Katz is falling apart. He doesn't see it coming. He slams into the wall and bounces off. He slams into it again. He bounces, slams, bounces, slams, bounces – and with each bounce, his cargo shifts. He goes from being a hot shit show business manager to a man taking up room on a park bench with the speed of fresh sewage sliding into Santa Monica Bay – quickly and not so quietly.
As Katz, Alfred Molina is glorious. He lets himself be hilarious and vulnerable. He lets himself be seen as few people, never mind performers, will allow themselves to be seen. Because Molina does all this, we get to kick back and go on a little trip. We get to slide right in behind him and focus completely on this man.
We feel the bounces he ignores. We see the humor he disregards. We hear the cards on the Rolodex, the name of which he has forgotten, as he mimes using it over and over again in the lobby of his old office building where he has gone to beg for a job. As his life falls apart he begins to cave in on himself until he is not much more than an upright skeleton supporting a molding soufflé of a body. One little prick, and down it all comes.
The play itself is a little like matzoh. Matzoh reminds you of food while you're chewing. This production reminds you of theatre. With the exception of Euan Morton, there is no other vibrant performance in the bunch. Even Elizabeth Franz disappoints as she slides away from an English accent into a homey Southern drawl, but none of this should be enough to keep you away from sitting in a theatre and soaking up all that Alfred Molina has to give. It's real magic.

Thomas Schultes rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns and Jacob Kibbie added 100 yards and three scores as Emmetsburg spoiled Storm Lake's football season opener with a 42-7 win last Friday night at Emmetsburg.
The E'Hawks jumped out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on a Kibby 2-yard run and a Schultes 5-yard run.
Former NFL star Dallas Clark was in the crowd at the baseball game Monday night between Storm Lake and Humboldt. His nephew, Devon Clark plays first base for the Wild Cats. Dallas kept a low profile in his chair near the bleachers, but he was friendly to a few Storm Lakers who approached him. The Dallas Clark family lives north of Humboldt.

The summer months traditionally bring a dip in blood donations. This decline can often be attributed to busy summer schedules, vacations, outdoor events and summer breaks in schools. In order to prevent blood shortages this summer in local hospitals, LifeServe Blood Center needs Storm Lake residents to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life.
Plans to assist young Latinos in Storm Lake

Storm Lake has reported one case
Complaints about swimmer's itch are starting to come in from Crystal Lake and Black Hawk Lake, and it is likely only a matter of time before it shows up at other natural lakes.
By ART CULLEN
All sorts of interesting ideas about how to improve Storm Lake have been floated through the years. Last week, experts from Iowa State University and the Department of Natural Resources discussed a) dredging more b) putting in three more islands as wavebreaks or c) raising the level of the lake by a half-foot to a foot.
Dr. Clayton Williams of Iowa State University provided a fascinating report Tuesday on how adding one or more islands to Storm Lake could reduce wind roiling the bottom sediment and improve water clarity. Adding three islands about the size of the Big Island would dramatically improve water quality and reduce turbidity (suspended sediment in the water) to meet federal clean water goals.
Three more islands could greatly improve water quality, ISU report says

Biodegradable polymers have been fabricated into various biomedical implants such as drug delivery nanoparticles, tissue engineering scaffolds, and orthopedic devices. Using biodegradable polymers as implant materials is beneficial as the implants may be degraded and cleared by the body once their missions are complete, leaving no foreign materials in the body. On the other hand, florescent labeling and imaging have fueled the significant growth of life science and medical research due to the increasing demands on analyzing biomolecules, tracking biological process, and visualizing diseases and therapeutic efficacy. The most common fluorescent imaging agents include organic dyes, fluorescent proteins and quantum dots (QDs). The discovery of fluorescent QDs has revolutionized the field of molecular imaging, especially in oncology applications. However, progress made in the past has not alleviated much on their high cost and intrinsic toxicity concerns which substantially hinder their clinical use in patients. As alternatives, fluorescent dyes suffer from photobleaching and fluorescent proteins are dim in vivo and hard to manipulate. It is noteworthy that all the above imaging agents are just "imaging agents". They cannot act alone as medical implants to serve as drug delivery vehicles or tissue engineering scaffolds. Combining biomedical implants and imaging agents for drug delivery and tissue engineering has been a significant focus of research in the past few years. For drug delivery, a significant challenge is to develop multifunctional nanoparticles that can be used to track drug delivery processes and determine therapeutic efficiency in real-time. Although conjugating organic dyes to, or encapsulating QDs in, biodegradable polymers was considered as a significant step in addressing above challenges, it does not address the concerns on their toxicity and low dye-to- nanoparticle labeling ratio for in vivo applications. For tissue engineering, obtaining in-situ and real-time information on scaffold degradation and tissue infiltration/regeneration in vivo, without traumatically explanting samples or sacrificing animals, is an unaddressed challenge. Using safe biodegradable implant polymers that intrinsically emit detectable fluorescence in vivo would address the above challenges in drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well as open new windows for other biological and biomedical applications based on fluorescence labeling and imaging. However, such biomaterials have not been available. Therefore, the objectives of the proposed work are to 1) discover novel in-vivo safe, wholly-biodegradable, photoluminescent (implant) polymers (BPLP), without conjugating organic dyes or semiconducting quantum dots (QDs), and 2) to develop biodegradable polymeric "QDs" (BPLP nanoparticles) promising for bioimaging, exemplified by in vivo breast cancer targeting and imaging. The expected outcomes of the proposed work are that we will understand the mechanisms behind the unique photoluminescent properties of BPLPs, and that we will establish a methodology to expand the BPLP into different types of biodegradable implant polymers. We will demonstrate their novelty and utility by developing biodegradable BPLP nanoparticles (biodegradable polymeric "QDs") for cell labeling and imaging applications, exemplified by cancer cell targeting and imaging in vivo. The Impacts of this proposal lie in that: 1) Unveiling the intriguing fluorescence mechanism and the methods necessary for the syntheses of biodegradable photoluminescent polymers will significantly advance biomaterials science;and 2) the development of BPLPs should bring a paradigm shift in the use of biodegradable implant biomaterials in a broad range of biological and biomedical fields including biosensing, cellular imaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and theranostic nanomedicine.
The success of this proposal will result in the discovering and understanding the only kind of biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (BPLPs) that intrinsically emit detectable fluorescence from the body. Based on our recent exciting development on BPLPs, we propose to further unveil the intriguing fluorescence mechanism of BPLPs and develop a methodology for custom-designing multiple classes of BPLPs to meet the versatile needs in biology and medicine. We will also demonstrate BPLP nanoparticles (biodegradable polymeric quantum dots) as safe in vivo imaging probes for cancer targeting and imaging. Traditional imaging agents such as organic dyes or quantum dots (QDs) are just imaging agents. They cannot act as implant materials such as drug delivery vehicles or tissue engineering scaffolds. BPLPs are the only polymeric biomaterials that can serve as not only in vivo safe implant materials but also in vivo fluorescent imaging probes without incorporating traditional organic dyes or QDs thus eliminating concerns on photobleaching, low dye-conjugation ratio, and toxicity for in vivo medical applications. The success of this proposal will innovate the biodegradable implant polymers, result in new tools and methods for tracking drug delivery process and therapeutic efficacy, and monitoring structure, composition, and function of engineered tissues in real time quantitatively and non-invasively. The development of BPLPs will have huge impacts on a broad range of fields in biology and medicine including biosensing, cellular imaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and theranostic nanomedicine.

Bargain Shopping: Ikea! Do You?
*Note: Ikea in no way sponsors me, gives me any free merchandise, or even knows I exist. But how I wish they did....
I always love a good bargain and Ikea usually can make me happy. Yesterday was no exception.
The store nearest to where I live is in Charlotte. I was coming through there yesterday afternoon on my way back to Greensboro, and I thought, "why not run in real quick? They might have something new." It was such a joke to think I would run in quickly to see what new things they might have; I stayed for 3 hours!
I came home with some wonderful buys, however, that have made me downright giddy. So giddy, in fact, that I had to share them with you.
If you have never been to Ikea, you really can't comprehend what an experience it is. They very cleverly start you out winding through their showroom, where you see display-after-glorious-display of their goods in staged "rooms." Bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, laundry rooms, living rooms, family rooms, offices, etc....
There are some small items you can pick-up for buying as you go through the showroom, but all of the larger items have numbers that you write down on the card they give you and pick up later in the warehouse area at the end. After the Showroom tour, though, you make it to the Marketplace area of the store. Here is where you see shelf-after-shelf of the goods you saw while trekking through the previous displays. If you missed grabbing something earlier, no worries. You get a second chance here.
Pure heaven on earth.
So what did I get that made me so happy? For starters, this wonderful sugar dispenser, for which I had been long searching.
I had wished for one ever since I was in Italy a year and a half ago, and had not been able to find one in any store I looked - including all the fancy-schmancy kitchen stores. It dispenses one serving of sugar at a time (2 tsps.) and reminds me of the fabulous Italian lattes I consumed frequently while there. I could find it online, but who wanted to pay $27.75 for one, plus $12.95 shipping and handling?!! Not this penny-pincher - but Ikea had it for $3.99!
I also bought six of these beauties (white kitchen towels with red trim) for $.79 a piece. Yep. Seventy-nine cents.
What else? Whenever I go to Ikea, I always pick up at least one pack of eight beautiful, curved wooden hangers for $3.99. This time I bought two packs. Eventually, I'd like to buy enough so I can banish all wire hangers from my closet.
Am I the only one who gets this?!
Along with those, I snatched up four white 20" X 20"pillow inserts for $3.99 each, a pack of four glass spice jars with silver lids (also for $3.99), a pack of four colorful, reusable cake plate doilies for id="mce_marker".99, a handled wire basket for $2.99, a cute green wok spoon for $.99, a 22-pack of assorted colored chalk for id="mce_marker".99, and a white bathmat for id="mce_marker".99.
This is one satisfied girl:)

Medicalization of Cyberspace by Andy Miah
Book DescriptionThe entire infrastructure and culture of medicine is being transformed by digital technology, the Internet and mobile devices. Cyberspace is now regularly used to provide medical advice and medication, with great numbers of sufferers immersing themselves within virtual communities. What are the implications of this medicalization of cyberspace for how people make sense of health and identity? The Medicalization of Cyberspace is the first book to explore the relationship between digital culture and medical sociology. It examines how technology is redefining expectations of and relationships with medical culture, addressing the following questions: * How will the rise of digital communities affect traditional notions of medical expertise? * What will the medicalization of cyberspace mean in a new era of posthuman enhancements? * How should we regard hype and exaggeration about science in the media and how can this encourage public engagement with bioethics? This book looks at the complex interactions between health, medicalization, cyberculture, the body and identity. It addresses topical issues, such as medical governance, reproductive rights, eating disorders, Web 2.0 , and perspectives on posthumanism. It is essential reading for healthcare professionals and social, philosophical and cultural theorists of health.

It just occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, King James and the Roman Empire did more than just change a few dates and lines of Scripture.
A recent "Trivia" question asked, "What month is also represented by a Latin number?" Simple logic tells me, "December"…right! As in "Deci." Therefore, does "October" also relate to, "Octo" (October)???
Sorry but, that's the limit of my knowledge of Latin/Roman numerology, for the most part. So, I really wouldn't know if any of the other months coincide with more numbers or not.
However, I am aware of the fact that originally, the Aztec (Mayan?) culture DID have a "base 13" number system rather than our "base 10" system. "WHY" is this important or even noteworthy?
Once again, simple logic tells us that our year divides more evenly by, 13 months rather than, 12 months! One year divided by thirteen equals 28 days with exactly 1 left over!
NOW THEN, it would seem that Scripture and Genisis has the origin of the Earth correct, once again! "How so?"
"WHAT IF" the FIRST DAY is equal to ONE YEAR? AND, the First DAY is the that EXTRA DAY needed to finish the First Year? 13 month @ 28 days, each PLUS 1 day = 1st Year OR, as Scripture tells it, "The First Day!" This would continue for the next 6 years or, "Days" as in Scripture and then resting and/or "allowing" the Earth to congeal (for lack of a better word) in the 7th year (or Day).
REASONING: In the above paragraph my reasoning for Scripture calling the First year as the "FIRST DAY" is that at the end of the first year, they had to add the 1st day to it to complete the First Year. Therefore, the 1st year of Creation is referred to as the FIRST DAY in reference to the 1st DAY being added to the complete the first year (did I explain it correctly?).
"THIS" timeline would coincide more closely with a discovery made back in the mid 1900's in which halo's from radioactive decay were created in granite. These halo's can NOT be replicated in any fashion or form…EVER! This becomes evident when you fully understand the mechanism required to create this type of halo. You can view the documentary about these halo's in a video titled, "Fingerprints of Creation."
The King James Bible is convoluted as many of "our" references are for they are written/recorded histories in favor of "Man." MAN being the race, creed, religion, etc., of the group represented that particular text (i.e. The "Original Hebrew Texts"…Hebrews are the ones convoluting Scripture in their favor).
I am saying that ALL of Scripture is WRONG? No! What I AM saying, is that we must remove the bias inserted into Scripture by the person(s) recording it! Did they do it intentionally? In some cases, NO! In other cases…YES!!! The King James Bible is an excellent example! The Roman Empire could not crush the Christian movement so, they adopted it! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Are you still a "GLOBE HEAD?" lol
I know it is difficult to stop believing the LIES "we" have all grown up listening to but, the reality is that the EARTH IS FLAT!
Check it for yourself! A couple of weeks ago, I was riding my bike along the "Strand" from Torrance Beach, Ca, to the far end of Manhattan Beach (El Segundo Blvd.), when I stopped for a moment to contemplate whether the Earth "appeared" to be curved or not. As I looked out over the ocean, it DID appear to be curved. Ever so slightly but, nonetheless…curved!
Since the distance I had just rode was in excess of 10 miles, my view of this curvature had to be much more than that. Probably arount the 30 – 40 mile mark, or so. I already know that, according to simple geometry, there "should be" a drop of 268 feet for every 20 miles of viewing the horizon. Well, suffice it to say, there is NO 268 feet of curvature in within my viewing range. If any, it would be around 1 – 2 feet, at most.
So, I simply held up a sheet of paper to my eye level and aligned it to the horizon. Guess what I saw??? NO CURVATURE…WHATSOEVER! That's right. The horizon is PERFECTLY…straight. Not even the slightest amount of curvature.
So "Why" did it appear to be curved in the first place? I thought about it and have reasoned that just like a "fish eye" lens, "our" eyes are round, also! Therefore, "we" see a slight curvature over a wide horizon as our eyes curve the image at the ends.
OKAY, now that we have "proved" the Earth is NOT a sphere and, is indeed, FLAT! What do we know about it?
Apparently, our governments are keeping all the information regarding the true nature of this Earth a secret from the general poplulace which is why Antarctica is OFF-LIMITS to everyone except, those authorized to go there. How do I know the government knows this? Simple, the World Geodesic Survey 1980 (WGS80), which is used throughout the world to measure distances, clearly states that the world is, "Oblate!"
It then precisely measures the surface of the Earth to the point where it is "essentially" FLAT!!! In other words, "It is NOT a sphere!!!"
SOOO…exactly, "How big is this FLAT EARTH?"
This is a Map that was published in the Hawiaain Gazette in 1907:
"Need I say more…???"
Anyone reading this must know from the start, this is nothing more than my personal webpage about "things" I consider noteworthy.
However, something occurred to me the other night which is beyond my understanding…per se. Had it happened to just myself, I would have passed it off as an hallucination BUT, it didn't.
As a friend of mine and I, were sitting in my car discussing various topics, "something" fell from above my foot, hitting the bottom of my foot, and fell to the floor. It seemed like a natural occurrence…right! Except, that the only thing above my foot is the underside of glovebox in the car. Furthermore, when I looked, there was nothing there that fell.
I asked my friend what he heard. He said he heard a metallic rod, hit the bottom of my shoe, and fall to the floor. Exactly what I "saw and felt!" His explanation is of the "haunting" nature and ghosts! Sorry, but I do not believe in anything of the nature.
At the moment this occurred, and I mean the briefest of moments, I was "caught" between…"realities???" I have no other way to explain it. There were "others" there! NO, I did not get a good look at them. BUT, I could feel their presence and as I said, almost "see" them for the briefest of a momernt.
In that moment, did I "pull back?" YES! I think so. I am at a loss at to what happened at that moment. A "steel rod," falling and hitting the bottom of my shoe then to the floor…and nothing is there??? WTF???
"Things" like this do not happen! But it did!
Anyone? Any ideas? Scared? No! Confused? Yes!
I don't have a big following, if I have any at all. However, if anyone reads this, I would appreciate some feedback as to what happened if you should have an idea.

HIGHLIGHTS-The Trump presidency on Feb. 27 at 3:21 P.M. EST/2021 GMT
Feb 27 Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Monday:
* Case-Shiller data weaker than forecast * Gains best in long issues * $30 billion two-year notes auction ahead By Michael Connor NEW YORK, June 24 U.S. Treasuries' prices bounced back on Tuesday from a sell-off as traders shrugged off housing data showing American home price increases fell short of forecast during April. Benchmark 10-year notes were up 7/32 to yield 2.597 percent, versus 2.63 percent late on Monday. The 10-year notes yielded 3 percent at the beginning of 2014 and have been trading in a tight range around 2.60 percent since February. Prices of 30-year Treasuries were up 19/32 to yield 3.41 percent, down from Monday's 3.46 percent. The price gains widened after the closely watched S&P/Case-Shiller survey of single-family home prices showed a 0.2 percent rise on a seasonally adjusted basis during April, far short of a 0.8 composite forecast. Investors on Monday got upbeat news about U.S. housing values, which are tracked as central to consumer purchasing power, when the National Association of Realtors reported a 4.9 percent jump during May for sales of existing homes. Traders discounted the Case-Shiller data as out of date and likely an exception to signs the housing sector was pulling out of a recent slump, according to money market economist Tom Simons at Jefferies LLC. "Case-Shiller not only lags but it comes out after the existing home sales yesterday, which were fairly strong," Simons said. "I am surprised at the gains since there's usually concessions ahead of auctions." Shorter-maturity Treasuries showed more modest gains or were flat. Ahead of a $30 billion U.S. Treasury auction in the issue set for later Tuesday, two-year notes were up 1/32 to yield 0.4767 percent. "We largely expect to see solid demand given recent cheapening in the sector," Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist for TD Securities, said.

*** Recipient of the FileDir.com 2012 Reviewers' Choice award***
This is finally the stock ticker widget you've been looking for. After becoming frustrated by the lack of decent stock widgets on the Android, I decided to make one. The result is a CNBC style, two layer, multi speed scrolling stock ticker that not only looks cool, but provides you with up to date quotes for your entire portfolio in a small amount of space. Recommended use is to put individual stocks on the upper watchlist while major global indices and/or currencies on the lower watchlist.
This is a widget and requires one full line of space. To add a widget, long click on empty space within your home screen then select 'Widget' --> 'Stock Ticker Tape Widget'. The widget features a 4 X 1 widget which will work for most phones as well as 6 X 1 and 8 X 1 widgets for larger devices and tablets.

I love the idea of gifting homemade cookie dough over the holidays for one simple reason: cookies taste best when they're fresh from the oven! Giving homemade dough is no-brainer gift, especially for those people in your life who love to bake, but are extra busy around the holidays. (Who isn't?)
I opted to make three different kinds of dough for gifting. You could easily double or triple your favorite holiday cookie dough recipe, or go the route I did, and opt for variety. The most important thing is choosing recipes that are freezer-friendly.

|Springfield Lobby Day 2016
In March 2016, the IRA joined IHLA and ICCVB for our Springfield Lobby Day. The events included a dinner with legislators on Tuesday night and a full day of meetings and lobbying efforts in the Capitol Building on Wednesday. Lobby Day concluded with a legislative reception with dozens of the members of the General Assembly and Governor Bruce Rauner in attendance.
Wednesday began with a speaker program and a legislative update session. Senate President John Cullerton, Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno, and Director of the Illinois Office of Tourism Cory Jobe addressed budget issues and advancing Illinois' tourism industry with a crowd of over 100 members of the restaurant, hospitality, and tourism industries.
Throughout the day, the IRA met with influential leaders in both legislative chambers, including House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang, Assistant Majority Leader Sara Feigenholtz, Assistant Majority Leader Art Turner, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, and Assistant Majority Leader Tony Muñoz.
The central issues discussed included statewide labor standards, maintaining tourism funding, a proposed soda tax, and the state budget.
We also had several newcomers join the IRA delegation in 2016. Thank you to all who attended, and we look forward to bringing an even bigger group to Springfield in 2017.

I. Women's Room
I open for you my mouth. I open for you
My two eyes, the white chambers of my skull;
From my old tongue, your sentences will rise
For I am Goddess Tlaelquani, Eater of Excrement,
Sister of Tlazolteotl. Problems with your partner?
I cut off his eggs with my obsidian glass knife.
Perhaps your employer is harassing you?
I gut him and stuff the corpse with chocolate.
Maybe a cab-driver has over-charged you?
I sacrifice his first-born to the Plumed Serpent.
See? I've a knack for this sort of thing
And you worship me just by sitting here,
A grudge at your breast, adjusting the mask.
My mouth is closed. Open your mouth. Ask.
II. Men's Room
Your look flickers across disinfected surfaces,
Starting from all eye-contact as if it burned
For this is the time and temple of reflection,
Of Tlaelquani's sister, I, great Tlazolteotl,
Goddess of scum and the skeletons in their closets.
Should I lick the half-moon on my thumbnail,
Your manhood's index weeps itself to death
Like a candle running down a feast day skull.
This image degrades men, it's true, but I light
Everything they think they've got away with,
The footprints of liars where they first fell:
Hell creeps back up them to you like a slow fuse
And it won't be enough to piss on your shoes.
A winner of the National Poetry competition, born in London of Irish parents and educated at Leeds, an erstwhile social worker and one of the most original, eclectic and intelligent poets of the fortysomething generation. His poetry, learned, rude, elegant, sly and funny, mixes gilded images, belly-laughs and esoteric lore about language (including Irish), art, history, politics and children's word-games. Three collections.
This two-parter was commissioned for the Salisbury Arts Centre toilets. I've seen both in situ: the first in lipstick-like red plastic on a mirror, the second in leaden plastic on a wall. Only Duhig would approach this commission via a pair of Mexican goddesses. They may not even be real. Sly and playful as Muldoon, Duhig is quite capable of inventing his lore. But for the purposes of the poem, here they are: the toilet goddess plus her sister of the urinal.
The first has 14 lines: a sonnet. Both poems end sonnet-like in rhyming couplets. The inverted opening (for you my mouth rather than my mouth for you) says we are in strange territory, with an archaic, ceremonious speaker: a personified toilet with a skull of white chambers. Vowel-echoes begin with eyes, rise, knife; skull is echoed in Tlazolteotl whose OT is echoed by chocolate; Excrement is balanced by Serpent: the AR of partner re-appears in glass, charged, ask, mask. The female ferocity through the poem (castrating partners, gutting bosses) is underpinned by an echo from the most violent and imaginative of 20th-century women poets. I've a knack for this sort of thing hisses with Plath's "Lady Lazarus" claim to do dying "exceptionally well". Why should these worshippers bear a grudge at their breast? This is a male-oriented poem, all through. Duhig homes in on ancient man-made connections between waste, pollution, murder, resentment, femaleness and cursing (see From my old tongue, your sentences will rise). The Greek Furies incarnated female disgustingness but also embodied curses. Tony Harrison translated them "god-grudges" in his version of Aeschylus's Oresteia - which begins with wife murdering husband. Duhig is adjusting the mask of Western tragedy for Mexican religion, tying both to the most basic symbol of waste, calling the lot . The United States is only one version of American, and shitting, like cursing (see graffiti), is universal both in space and time.
The second poem is only 13 lines. In ancient rituals women often have greater symbolic power than men, just as shit tends (wouldn't you say?) to have greater symbolic power to pollute than piss. The dominant sound is the hard K of flickers, disinfected, contact, reflection, Tlaelquani (again), scum, skeletons, closets, lick, index, like, candle, culminating in skull, whose -ULL echoes Tlazolteotl and thumbnail, and re-appears in fell/Hell. Following the first poem's castrating ferocity, the dominant fear is looking. Simon Armitage once told me male urinal etiquette revolves around looking (or not). Your look (at manhood's index), flickers as (I gather) men's looks at each other flicker down and away. (Away also from eye-contact.) In this temple of reflection, your exposed self-image gets reflected from surfaces, and may drain away like a candle running down a feast-day skull; you reflect on your own manhood, on what you've got away with both physically and behaviourally. Its god, though, is female. The scum of the men's urinal rhymes with the thumb in her thumbnail. Men are under women's thumbnail, vulnerable to the half-moon of femaleness even in places forbidden to women. We end, again, with the underworld: not Furies but Hell (which, like electricity if you pee on live wires, creeps back up to you), plus a threat wrapped up in a joke: it won't be enough to piss on your shoes.
Within this exotic-cum-brutally basic subject matter, Duhig is saying that poems, like all acts of imagination, should be able to tackle anything. His poem is about ancient connections between language, symbol and bodily function, (Freud's classic article on peeing linked the fire-god Prometheus to bedwetting). Its divided format reflects the way society divides male and female symbolism. It says our bodies, basis of all symbolism, make us confront our deepest fears, our nastiness; that mythology attributes pollution mainly to women and sees men as eternally vulnerable to brutal female grudge. But that you also have, in the end, to laugh at the lot.

Memories of You
member for 8 years, 11 months, 28 days
Add to MyFriends
Bio and Links
"Memories of You" was a pop song published in 1930 (lyrics by Andy Razaf; music by Eubie Blake). It was best popularized by the incomparable Benny Goodman and his orchestra. My Dad used to practice it at home on his clarinet when I was a kid, though I never knew what it was called back then, and didn't know the lyrics. Now every time I hear that tune, it brings back my memories of those happy days, and memories of my father and other loved ones gone ahead.
It's been said that no one is finally dead until he is forgotten. Another thought along these lines runs: You are not really dead until after your name is spoken aloud on earth for the last time.
At every gravesite, no matter how old, how poorly marked, how long forgotten, there lies the memory of a precious life lived with a beginning, a middle, an end, and a story worth telling and remembering. Each tombstone marks a significant day of human sorrow. And around most every tombstone was once gathered the unbreakable force of love.
Findagrave and its volunteers are here to respect those memories and to help keep those individual stories and names alive, whenever possible. Each memorial made here is for one more person who is gone but not forgotten.
Turn Again To Life
by Mary Lee Hall
If I should die and leave you here awhile
be not like others sore undone,
who keep long vigil by the silent dust.
For my sake turn again to life and smile,
nerving thy heart and trembling hand
to do something to comfort others than mine.
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine
and I perchance may therein comfort you.

Would you like to combine yours with mine so we don't lose the picture. Then I will gladly transfer the memorial page to you.

According to copies of my printouts for this request,Findagrave member MRC #47652963 requested this photo on 10/18/2016 and I subsequently fulfilled that request. I have no relation to this individual for genealogy purposes and because MRC requested it, I would assume a transfer(with her knowledge) might be appropriate.

Hamlet Research
An observation on your research and 2 record suggestions.
Your memorial for Dustin Hamlett is accurately transcribed from Willeys, but 2 records with dates of death which are exact suggest his name could have been Justin. The 2 records of death reflect a person who was in the Civil War and died of non battle related issues. He was from Londonderry, NH.Although Willeys probably took information from the gravestones, there is no stone at Valley except Ellen L a child possibly his daughter, who may have been born 1 month before his death. The death record also shows a relative with first initial of "E:(Ellen?).
Here are the two records:

HSBC's "out of band" system relies on the customer's phone to keep their account secure. When making a payment, a pop-up appears asking which phone number they want to be contacted on and containing a Pin number generated by the computer. HSBC will then ring them and ask them for this number.
The standard two-factor system, backed by industry body Apacs, requires customers to carry a card reader, which they insert their debit card into when making a payment. The reader then comes up with an eight-digit password, which they use to confirm the transaction on-screen when prompted.
HSBC is in the preliminary stages of testing the system, but it is not yet being trialled with customers. It hopes to roll it out within a year.
"The two-factor system works for our business customers," said personal internet banking manager Nick Staib, "because more than one employee often needs access to the business accounts. They can keep a card-reading device in a drawer.
"But retail banking customers do not want to carry this device around, and are likely to make transactions in various different places."
The out of band system also offers better security, said Staib.
"With the card reader system, a hacker can still take control of the computer no matter how the password is generated.
"We are working on the basis that there is no way for them to take control of your phone. Plus, someone in another country cannot pretend to be you, because they are not on the end of your home phone."
Online banking fraud jumped 44% in 2006, and banks are attempting to keep up with hackers, who are constantly finding new ways around security systems. Most other high street banks are rolling out the two-factor system.
