Oldham caretaker manager Tony Philliskirk knows there is more expectation on his side to beat Everton in the FA Cup fifth round following their heroics against Liverpool.
The npower League One strugglers stunned Brendan Rodgers' Reds in the previous round, when they beat them 3-2 at Boundary Park.
Oldham, who have not made it to the quarter-finals of the competition in almost a decade, have been told to remain positive by Philliskirk, who took the reins at the club when manager Paul Dickov stepped down shortly after the win over Liverpool.
"We are under no illusions that we have to be at our maximum," Philliskirk told the Manchester Evening News.
"The goalkeeper and back four have to have stormers. We will need some luck and Everton have to be a bit below par.
"That is not being negative - there is always the magic of the FA Cup and this season there have been more surprises than in years gone by.
"We have to go in with a positive mindset. We are massive underdogs and have everything to gain.
"There is a little bit more expectation on us this time. Nobody gave us a chance against Liverpool which worked in our favour but the element of surprise has gone a little.
"It's a challenge the players should relish."
MK Dons will play npower Championship side Barnsley and Luke Chadwick is hoping to inspire the League One club to another memorable FA Cup victory.
The 32-year-old former Manchester United midfielder made his first start in several weeks against Doncaster on Tuesday after a knee problem had ruled him out since mid-December.
He told MK Dons Player: "The Barnsley game is going to be massive for the club and we owe it to the chairman, the manager and the supporters to put on a good performance.
"It will be an amazing achievement if we can get through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
"We'll treat it like any other game, we'll prepare as we always do and we'll go out there and give the same sort of fight that we showed against Doncaster.
"Hopefully, then, with a bit more quality on a better pitch which we'll have at our place, we can win.
"If we do that and get a good draw in the next round then who knows what might happen."
Chelsea will play their fourth-round cup replay against Brentford after returning from Europa League action against Sparta Prague.
The Blues, who won the Champions League in May, exited the premier European competition as holders at the group stage and dropped into the Europa League.
They will host Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after they drew 2-2 against the League One side at Griffin Park, thanks to Fernando Torres' late equaliser.
Arsenal will take on Blackburn at the Emirates, Huddersfield face Premier League side Wigan and non-league Luton face Millwall at Kenilworth Road.
Manchester United, who drew 1-1 against Real Madrid in their Champions League last-16 clash at the Bernabeu, will play Reading at Old Trafford on Monday night while Manchester City host Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Greetings. It's been a long time since the last posting but on the urging of several friends, I saw it fit to write in. We haven't played any shows in a long time. In fact, I believe our last show was back in March of 2003 with Cursive. Since then we all have been following our own personal interests outside the band. As time goes on it is less likely that we will play again. I can only speak for myself of course and since no one has shown interest in posting anything I can only offer my take on things. Hopefully this will change in the near future.
New projects will be appearing soon. Ryan has been working on his own songs and recordings, recently having a song released on the "My Favorite Songwriters" compilation on Five One Records. In addition, Ryan has been performing here and there around San Diego doing solo acoustic performances. Check his site for any news, www.fergusong.com
Mitch is rumored to have been working on a new project with some other San Diego folks. I have not heard it but I am sure it will be more than worthy of some investigation. Brian has been playing some experimental music and doing some scoring for films as of late. I have been doing a new band with some old friends and will hopefully play out soon. We'll post stuff about our new projects soon as things are finally getting to the final stages…
Some other things to mention. We have a new merch site that is through our friend Pete and Merch Lackey. We have some old T-Shirt designs that have been long out of stock as well as a brand new hooded sweatshirt. Also we finally received the "Riot for Romance" vinyl and that is available as well.
Who knows exactly what the future holds. Once we know, we'll let you know. Thanks for checking in.

Pre-close update: Lift in FY17 guidance yet again, benefit of improved operating leverage
28 Feb 17
boohoo has continued to trade strongly in the final two months of the year to February. As a result management are increasing FY17 guidance at the sales and EBITDA levels in this morning's pre-close trading update. Headline sales growth is now expected to be c.50%, ahead of the previously guided range of 46% to 48% given on 10th January. This results in a 1.5% increase in revenue forecasts. The EBITDA margin is now expected to be at the top of the previously guided range of 11% to 12% as the business benefits from operating leverage. This drives a 5.2% upgrade to our estimate. Further guidance on FY18 will be given at the FY17 results on 26th April. We also note that the Nasty Gal acquisition is expected to complete today as per the RNS on 9th February.

Just Eat is the leading digital marketplace for takeaway food delivery and has benefitted from a significant first-mover advantage. The company has disposed of its non-core assets and is now fully focused on building bigger and better businesses in its remaining territories. Management has demonstrated successful strategy execution and discipline to date and we believe that the right people are in place to drive significant profitability improvements going forward. We therefore retain our Buy recommendation but increase our price target from 641p to 734p.
The Slide Rule
12 Jan 17
What is The Slide Rule? The Slide Rule has been designed to dramatically simplify the identification of the best companies in the UK small/mid-cap sector by making a quantitative assessment of the relative potential of each company. At its core, The Slide Rule aims to identify those companies that create genuine shareholder value through strong returns on capital and solid growth, but also present a value opportunity with the potential tailwind of earnings momentum. Companies are assessed within a Quality, Value, Growth and Momentum (QVGM) framework.
Acceptance of all-cash offer by Kindred Group
23 Feb 17
32Red has agreed an all cash takeover by Kindred, at 196p per share. Together with an approved 4p dividend, this represents a 32.4% premium to last month's average. This equates to 10.6x EV/EBITDA and 14.3x P/E for 2017, a small premium to the larger peer group. Given 32Red's brand strength, regulated bias and growth momentum, this appears justified.

DEVELOPMENT. It was mixed emotions from residents for the new 16-townhome build by Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa. A presentation was held on Nov. 19 at the Convent Glen-Orléans Wood Community Association (CGOWCA) meeting, to explain what will be taking part with this build.
© (Photo TC Media-Kelly Snider)
Chown explaining the 16-townhome project.
It was a packed meeting at 255 Centrum Blvd., as Habitat for Humanity GO explained they purchased a plot of land at Jeanne d'Arc Blvd. and Fortune Dr. and plan to build 16-townhome over an estimated three years.
The final purchase was made in October and the plan is to start building in late spring of next year. The hope is to build four in the first year, four in the second year, and then eight in 2018.
The homes would take up the space of three blocks. Two blocks of homes will have four houses with the third block having eight homes.
One of the main concerns was zoning, which is one of two important aspects that the project needs to move forward. Along with zoning is the site plan application.
"I'm stuck on zonage. When I moved in it was a gas station. No one talked to us that this [build] was even being considered. Can the zoning be appealed?" asked a resident.
Julie Lebrun, a planner with the City of Ottawa said the zoning can't be appealed. She said the zoning for this site is already in place and has been since 2008.
The zoning for the property not only allows townhomes, but it allows even higher density such as stacked townhomes or an apartment building.
Murray Chown, a planner with Novatech Engineering who is involved with this project, said Habitat toyed with doing a 32 stacked townhomes for the site, which would also being within the allowed zoning.
Habitat decided to back away from that idea and continue with the 16-townhome plan.
Habitat will be submitting a site plan to the City of Ottawa and Lebrun said when a site plan complies with the zoning, there will be no more discussion regarding the zoning.
"If residents are going to say we don't like the use being proposed, that's where we will have to explain the zoning is already in place that would allow a planned unit development, with a private street," said Lebrun. "Beyond that it even allows apartments low rise, and stacked dwellings."
Lebrun added that a site plan application involving public consultation can take place, if comments related to the site itself, including fencing, parking, landscaping, etc.
"The city is holding the citizens hostage," said one resident after the discussion of the zoning.
Orléans Councillor Bob Monette then defended the project, explaining that the plan is just 16 units.
"Don't make it as we're putting a slum in this location. I find that insulting what you're saying. We had the same discussion on Tompkins….those units are there today, and everyone in the community loves those units."
This also related to the concern about property value.
Kristin Harold, director of engagement with Habitat for Humanity GO, said when after building the homes on Nantes, which is across from homes valued at $400,000 and more, there is evidence that property value has not decreased.
One resident asked which part of the project will be done first.
"Something we are discussing with Habitat fist and we also want to speak with the immediate neighbours on the pros and con," said Chown.
Traffic was also a major issue.
"If a project doesn't [generate] 75 trips in the peak hour in the a.m. and the p.m., you don't have to do a traffic study. This project won't generate close to that," said Chown. "We haven't been asked to do a traffic study, but it doesn't mean we won't in the future."
However, Monette said he will make a request for a traffic study for Fortune and will have a public meeting for the study.
"As far as traffic calming measure, another $40,000 is coming for [the measures]. Something will be done for Fortune, just like I've done for Jeanne d'Arc."
Habitat staff explained that aspects like fencing, grass cutting, and snow removal will all be the responsibility of the homeowners. The costs are part of the mortgage payments that the homeowners are required to pay through Habitat.
Chown reminded residents that children are like any other child in the area and will be using city owned areas, like the local play structure.
As well, when it comes to resale, Harold said Habitat reserves the right to buy back the house and keep as affordable housing.
The final approval for the families will be in December. Habitat hopes to be able to share who the families are by January, and having a ground breaking ceremony around late May.

We need to update Orion to use the newer code from Eclipse.
Created attachment 566218 [details] [diff] [review]
proposed patch
This is the proposed patch.
- fixed bug 678995 and bug 680375 by adding padding to the line gutter.
- fixed bug 680509 - now Orion highlights the current line by default.
- partial fix for bug 680465: Orion now recognizes /* comments */ in CSS. Some properties are still unrecognized and // comments are still highlighted, which is wrong and confusing.
- see bug 681360 comment 1.
- fixes for bug 684862, bug 685925, bug 687565, bug 687850, bug 687855 and bug 689559.
This patch doesn't fix: bug 687573, bug 687577, bug 687580, bug 687861.
Before we can enable Orion by default I would suggest we fix: bug 687573, bug 687577 and 687580.
Looking forward for your review!

Rob, thank you for the r+!
Updated the patch to include more test fixes, this time for the textarea fallback. The cut/copy/paste event handling became async in Orion. In the previous patch I did address those changes, but it looks like I broke the testing for the textarea fallback. Fixed this now, in this patch.

True. I thought the code is minimal enough to not need the whole MPL boilerplate. Much bigger than the CSS itself.
Shall I make a patch to switch to MPL?

"APTA applauds Senators Bob Corker and Chris Murphy for proposing a long-term solution that would ensure the solvency of the Highway Trust Fund and provide the funding needed to preserve and maintain our existing surface transportation system. This is a courageous and realistic proposal that would help to solve what has been a recurring problem for numerous years. This legislation would go a long way toward addressing state of good repair issues across the country on public transportation systems and America's highways and bridges."
"We wholeheartedly support the leadership that Senator Murphy and Senator Corker have demonstrated by creating this bi-partisan fix for the nation's infrastructure. We cannot continue to ignore the issue and allow our infrastructure to fall further into disrepair because of a lack of investment. The longer we ignore the issue the more it will cost American taxpayers in the long run. APTA looks forward to supporting these Senators as they introduce the bill."

I must admit, I spend way too long in the bargain makeup aisle at my local Target store. It's because I love makeup but loathe to spend money on it. Brands like Mac and Smashbox, forget it! But the price of Physicians Formula is right up my alley.

And since I'm always on the lookout for a great concealer, the Physicians Formula Concealer Twins quickly grabbed my attention.

Pros

It's two acne concealer products for the price of one. One side contains green concealer for toning down red pimples and those annoying red marks pimples leave behind when they heal. The other side is a skin-toned concealer.

The tube is small and slender, making it convenient to stash in your purse or bag.

Did I mention it's inexpensive? It costs just under $10.

Cons

The concealer coverage is a bit light. I'd prefer it had more concealing power.

If you don't have a light complexion, you're out of luck. It's nearly impossible to find in darker shades.

The wand seems a bit unhygienic -- it goes on your pimple, back into the tube, and back onto your skin the next day. Who knows what's growing in there after a few weeks of this?

Description

Double-wand tube with green correcting color and skin-tone concealer

Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and noncomedogenic

Contains SPF 10

Guide Review of Physicians Formula Concealer Twins 2-in-1 Correct and Cover

I was excited to find the Physicians Formula Concealer Twins product. It has everything you need to cover up those annoyingly red pimples in just one tube.

One side holds the green color corrector wand. Just a tiny dab helps to tone down redness. The other side of the tube is a skin-toned concealer. Apply over the green corrector to hide pimples.

The two-in-one tube is perfect to carry in your purse for those quick touch-ups. I also liked the small price tag. At just around $10 it's a great fit for almost any budget, and you won't be devastated if it gets lost or falls from your bag.

On the down side, the coverage you get from the concealer is quite light. I needed several touch-ups throughout the day and I never felt like it completely hid my blemishes hidden.

Also, I wasn't able to find this concealer in any shades other than light and medium. Does this product even come in darker shades? If it does, I couldn't find it.

All in all, I thought it a decent product though not amazing. It's easy to carry in my purse so I always have something on hand for those surprise pimples that pop up at inopportune times.

The Bottom Line

An OK product at a fabulous price.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of budesonide inhalation suspension (BIS) to the standard therapy of albuterol, ipratropium bromide, and systemic corticosteroids (SCS) for moderate to severe asthma flares in children reduces asthma severity more rapidly than standard therapy alone.
Context: Acute asthma is a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Although standard therapy for acute asthma includes systemic corticosteroids (SCS), these drugs take many hours to have an effect. Recent studies demonstrate that inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) may improve patients' asthma severity more rapidly than SCS and may decrease hospitalizations. Only a few small studies have evaluated ICS added to standard therapy for acute asthma in children.
Objective: To determine if adding the nebulized steroid budesonide to standard therapy including SCS improves patients' asthma severity faster than standard therapy alone and leads to fewer hospitalizations.
Study Design/Setting/Participants: A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of budesonide inhalation suspension (BIS) versus placebo for children 2 to 18 years of age who present to a tertiary care, urban pediatric ED with a moderate to severe asthma flare.
Intervention: Participants will receive standard therapy including SCS, albuterol, and ipratropium bromide and will be randomly assigned to also receive either nebulized BIS or saline.
Study Measures: Differences in asthma scores, vital signs, and the need for hospitalization will be compared between treatment groups.

Asthma, Exercise-induced
Asthma attacks following a period of exercise. Usually the induced attack is short-lived and regresses spontaneously. The magnitude of postexertional airway obstruction is strongly influenced by the environment in which exercise is performed (i.e. inhalation of cold air during physical exertion markedly augments the severity of the airway obstruction; conversely, warm humid air blunts or abolishes it).

The Return to the Road
Written By Jana DeBusk – I leave Manizales, Colombia in a small plane with visible propellers. The sky is cloudy, like normal, and the air is crisp. I felt a sense of belonging in this little city, but today is my leaving day. I turn back once more through a glaze of hot tears to blow a kiss to the man I love before walking through the small security gate. The officer stops me and says I have to throw away my nail clippers, almost regretfully. He must sense my sadness. "Oh shit," I mumble. "Pero no es importante," I say as the tears well up in my eyes and my face scrunches to a strange distorted trying-not-to-cry-but-failing face. He looks at me doubtfully. I toss the clippers and remove my bags from the belt.
The Possibilities Abound
Written By Meagan DeRaps – The sun peaking through the forward hatch streams golden rays across my sunburned cheeks. I fight the urge to turn over and thrust the pillow over my face, to shield myself from the day and allow the gentle rocking of the boat to lull me back to sleep. But the sun's rays in this near equatorial climate prove too strong an adversary. So I throw my legs over the side of the tall forward berth and am rewarded by a wet slimy sensation followed by a pillow of soft fur on my ankles. After giving Nikka her morning allowance of coddling, I climb out on deck to untie the paddleboard carefully lashed to the lifelines. With a roaring thud and enormous splash, the paddleboard lands in the water beside the boat. I grab Nikka's life jacket and finagle her jittery body beneath its bulky plastic clasps. Slowly, I clamber over the side of the boat before guiding Nikka down next to me. With the board untied, I grab the paddle and start making our way toward shore for Nikka's morning beach walk. Before I get too far, I turn and glance over my shoulder at the sailboat we just departed, our home, and for the thousandth time this trip I think, WOW, this is my life now!
Traveling Through Flores Island, Indonesia
Written By Riley Maker – I came into consciousness as Sir Richard heaved himself out of the double hammock. "I've had enough of that," he mumbled and I caught a glimpse of the reddening sky over the ocean. I pulled the fabric of the hammock around me as my heat source abandoned the previous night's discomfort. I turned over a few more times before I decided there was enough sun to begin to thaw my bones. I strode a few paces to the sandy part of the beach and plopped myself down, Indian style. I smelt the burnt reminders of the fire the local kids made for us the starry night before. I turned and looked back at the limp black and grey hammock hung between a healthy pine tree and the remaining tall stump of another. Behind the two trees and bushy sand foliage stood a small makeshift goat pen equipped with a tiny structure that served as our emergency rain shelter plan. Thankfully we didn't need to use it.
10 Tips to Help Women Pack Lighter
Written By Brooke Schoenman – It's easy to overpack for travels. Really easy. However, as airlines continue to charge for every ounce over their limit and restrictions change, overpacking can cost a fortune!
Last-Minute Summer Road Trip
Written By Courtney Capellan – When visiting the Southwest airlines website – a matrix of arrivals and departures – and you're fixated on…Wanna get away? You whisper, yes. You scan the "deals" and your heart starts beating a rhythmic,no, no, no. Saddened by the prices, you desperately try another search, thinking, if I fly from here to there instead…if I fly morning instead of night…No luck. Forget it, you tell yourself.
Why I Stopped Moving
Written By Jana DeBusk – I've lived in Manizales, Colombia for nine months now. I know that Santander Avenue runs parallel through the city with another avenue aptly called "The Parallela". I know that the blue busses are newer and nicer than the green or red busses and that the small white collectivo will take you to your destination faster for dos cientos mas. I know that groceries are almost always cheaper in El Centro and to buy my tinto (strong black coffee in plastic cups) from a vendor on the street rather than the expensive corporate conglomerate, Juan Valdez. I've even settled into a 3-bedroom apartment on the main avenue with my Colombian boyfriend (it's serious – we have plants). On Saturdays we play table tennis and on Sundays we share an ice cream in Chipre, a neighborhood where it seems you can see the whole country at once from the high mountain view. But I've stopped traveling. I've… settled down. I used to spit that word out of my mouth in disdain, disgusted that people would actually choose that path. It seemed like no path at all! Where's the ADVENTURE!? Where's the ROMANCE!? So, what happened? Let me explain.
Mommy Travel Tips
Written By Leah Hannaford – When I was nine years old, my grandparents took me on a road trip across the country. This trip forged my love for travel, and when I turned 18, I hit my young adulthood with a suitcase in hand. I was able to travel freely through my lower 20s and joined the military to continue my travels in a different context. I had my son when I turned 25 and I remember being warned that my love for travel would now need to be tempered.
Miyagawa, Takayama: A Morning By the Crystal River
Written By Sze-Leng Tan – In those short-lived moments – reflecting, observing and indulging – life was a spark of miracle I was gifted as a traveller to the Miyagawa morning market in Hida Takayama, Japan.
Exploring Ft. Lauderdale by Water Taxi
Written By Krystal K. – Although it's beautiful, Ft. Lauderdale's long stretch of clean beach and turquoise waters that act as a siren's song to spring breakers across the nation is of little interest to me. After all, if I want to see the young and the gorgeous, I can drive a little further south to its ritzier cousins South Beach and Miami Beach. Instead, my mother and I decided to spend a day exploring nearby Ft. Lauderdale via the water taxi which runs up and down the intercoastal.
24 Hours in Manizales, Colombia
Written By Jana DeBusk – You will not see Manizales, Colombia in the must-see section of your guidebook. It is rarely mentioned for more than a page, and only even there to highlight its closeness to various coffee plantations and other nearby natural attractions. The city itself, however, is a growing hub for education, culture, and entertainment. Not to mention, Manizalians are the nicest people you will ever meet. The city is affectionately coined "La ciudad de puertas abiertas" or "The city of open doors".
Retreat to the Mountains of Westendorf, Austria
Written By Francesca Baker – I'm at the top of a mountain. It's 9:26 in the morning, and I am on my own. The sun licks the hairs on my arms and envelopes the world in a metallic sheen. The only sound is the gentle ringing of cow bells, a sort of elemental and campestral symphony. The only sight a blue lake twinkling in the sunlight. The grass looks lush and oozing with vitality, and the blades shimmer in a gentle breeze. It looks like it has just been created, so idyllic a scene is before me. It's better than any chocolate box I have ever seen.
10 Things I Will (and Won't) Miss About Living in Japan

Plan a Romantic Vacation based on Romantic Movies
Written By Debbie D. – Nothing beats cuddling up on the couch with a glass of wine and a romantic chick flick on TV. But beyond the gooey sappiness and heart-fluttering drama, have you ever noticed some of the most beloved romantic movies are set against beautiful landscapes? If you're planning a trip for two or just traveling solo with hopes of meeting your dream man, here are a few trip ideas based on locations from five of my all-time favorite romantic movies.
When to Let Fear Win
Written By Jana DeBusk – The air is smooth and soft here in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. The mountains are a lusty green, and a stream gurgles somewhere nearby. The center of town is full of hippy expats who affectionately call it "Velcro-bamba" for its magical ability to make you want to stay. The sleepy tourist town is nestled in The Sacred Valley of Longevity, south of Loja, and it's rumored that there are at least twenty residents well over 100 years old.

How to Become an Expat in Six Easy Steps or Less
Written By Jana DeBusk – I had always dreamed of living in a foreign land. How exotic. How brave. How terribly romantic it would be; to abandon the world I'd always known for a completely…well…foreign experience. Common sense stopped me for a while as common sense usually does. It whispered harshly in my ear, "You'll never make it on your own. You haven't even mastered another language," and most cruelly, "What will you do for money?"
A Honeymoon to Remember in Puerto Rico
Written By Debbie D. – After 9 years of dating, the love of my life asked me to marry him last December. After enjoying the glow of newly engaged bliss (i.e. texting photos of the ring to every single person I know and posting the news all over Facebook), reality began to sink in that I would now become a glorified party planner for the biggest day of my life. So after obsessively pinning every single wedding idea on Pinterest, choosing the venue, interviewing photographers, tasting cakes, and oh yeah, picking out the most beautiful dress I would ever wear, I thought I had a pretty good handle on everything. It wasn't until just a few months before the wedding that people started asking the question I had completely ignored during all of the planning chaos: "So, where are you going on your honeymoon?"
Traveling is Like Sex
Written By Jana DeBusk – Think back to the first time you had sex. That confused feeling of ecstasy where the moves are all new, but the urges have been there forever. It is discovery mixed with a biological sense of duty. You smell differently afterwards. Your eyes have adjusted as your pupils have dilated to take in the beauty of the darkness surrounding you. You are different. You can never go back to the comfort of innocence because you know there are better things ahead. For the first time you look a little further into your future. Relationship? Marriage? Kids? You are probably a child yourself at this first encounter, but your heart doesn't know your age.
6 Fall Foliage Viewing Spots In and Around Tokyo

Road Tripping Along South Korea's Eastern Coast
Written By Krystal K. – Penis sculptures. Giant crabs. Deserted beaches. Beautiful pottery. Seaside temples. I experienced all of this and more on a recent three-day road trip along South Korea's eastern coast. Though Korea's transportation network is usually adequate enough to get around, the compact size of South Korea makes it particularly fun to experience by car.
10 Beauty Essentials for Your Carry-on Bag
Written By Debbie D. – From long hours on standby to dry air on the plane, travel can be grueling to a girl's appearance. Regardless of how many makeup and skincare products you've packed in your checked baggage, it's important to keep a few items in your carry-on bag for times when you need to hydrate parched skin, pamper sore feet, boost limp hair and perk up tired peepers. Over the years, I've found that I only require 10 beauty essentials in my carry-on bag for in-flight beauty emergencies.
Beyond the Beaches, Part II: Visit the Stunning Lighthouses of the Outer Banks
Written By Krystal K. – Given the Outer Banks' well-deserved nickname of "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" (earned by the large number of shipwrecks throughout the area's history), it's no surprise that the spectacular lighthouses are one of the main attractions on the Outer Banks. Apparently, most people hop in their car, starting at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and work their way down along the scenic North Carolina coastline, stopping at each distinctive lighthouse along the way. I've never managed the trip in one day, because I inevitably get distracted wandering through the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge and stopping to admire the wind surfers. But that's a great excuse for staying an extra day, isn't it?
Microstock Photography for Travelers 101: A Three-Part Series
Written By Krystal K. – I don't know about you, but I've got an entire hard drive full of photos I've snapped during my travels. Instead of having them sit around and continue collecting figurative dust, I've decided to try and enter the world of microstock photography.

Product and service. 12/16/2013
This review is from: ICY DOCK MB453SPF-B 3 in 2 SATA I, II & III Hot-Swap Internal Backplane Raid Cage Module
I have 4 of these units, and can find nothing but praise for the product. I am changing drives from the storage bays to active bays constantly. The only problem I have had was caused by me, and their service department was kind enough to send me the part I needed to effect the repair. These units are real workhorses, as all their products I own.
If there are any, I haven't found them in 5 years.
Other Thoughts:
If you need a durable unit, that will stand up to constant use, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this item.

The FOX TV series Glee broke new ground this week, and it's not because they had a Lady Gaga episode. As any viewer who watches the show would know, that idea was just painfully predictable. No, the highlight of the episode (which can be viewed here) was when Kurt's father - played by Mike O'Malley - stood up to Finn for using the word "faggy." Watched by over 11 million viewers, you can't help choking up at the scene - and wish that every gay teen had a Dad like Burt Hummell. But for a show about a high school choir that is popular in the LGBT community, there is much more Glee can do to move hearts and minds. Kurt has a tough time growing up in Lima, Ohio - beaten up at school by the jocks, while coping with his own identity. It raises the question: why do we never meet Rachel's "two gay Dads," and wouldn't they be terrific role models for Kurt?
O'Malley's speech had raw emotion, and the actors must have known it would have an impact. "Reading it on paper I had no idea it was going to be that intense," said O'Malley. "But once I got into it, then I kind of realized, 'Oh, there's such a bigger meaning behind this. Oh my God, this is so dramatic.'"
It was dramatic, alright. But moreso, it can have a transformative effect on how people view their own homophobia. When a two-minute clip of the speech was featured on the LGBT blog Towleroad, readers who had never before watched Glee vowed to start seeing it regularly - and the video circulated widely on YouTube.
Kurt's Dad - a mechanic in their small town - had in prior episodes bonded with Finn over watching football. Dealing with homophobia had taken him years of struggle, and his speech put any high school jock who makes slurs about gays and lesbians to shame.
Kurt pleads that Finn "didn't mean it that way" when he called his furniture "faggy," but Kurt's Dad knows better having lived and acted the way Finn does now. When you get older, he explains, "you start to see hate in peoples' hearts ... even the best of people."
There are millions of people who honestly believe they are not bigots (some will even say they "have gay friends"), but still voted for Proposition 8 in California - or Question 1 in Maine. They may be "the best of people," as Kurt's Dad said, but they still have hate in them - unresolved homophobia that is rooted in fear, and manifests itself very discreetly.
Probably the best witness in the recent Prop 8 trial was San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders - a liberal politician who opposed gay marriage, until his daughter coming out made him realize his tolerant views on civil unions were just "clouded in prejudice."
Kurt's Dad brought the whole issue home, and over 11 million people watched it on TV.
Of course, those who have seen prior episodes know that Kurt's conduct is reckless and manipulative. Finn was wrong to call him a "fag," but he had good reason to be angry.
Kurt has a crush on Finn (a straight, handsome football jock), and deliberately set up his single Dad with Finn's single Mom so the families can move in together - and the two boys would then share a room. Anyone could tell this was not going to turn out well.
But Kurt's outlandish behavior is really a cry for help that a lot of gay kids go through. He's an insecure 16-year-old who does the kind of stupid things that teenagers often do. Add the fact that he's coping as a gay kid in conservative Lima, Ohio - and he's a mess.
Kurt's lucky to have a father who loves and respects him for who he is - but many teens like him end up committing suicide, or get sent off to conversion therapy to "cure" their homosexuality. In a prior episode, Quinn's parents - who are devoted fans of Glenn Beck - banish their daughter from the house when they discover that she's pregnant.
What Kurt really needs are positive gay role models - adults who have found happiness in their lives, and could steer him from his reckless behavior. Which brings up one big frustration I have with Glee, even though I love the show and watch it religiously.
Rachel Berry - the ambitious lead singer in the Glee Club - has been raised by "two gay Dads" who adopted her. The first episode briefly showed a picture of them - but after twenty episodes we have yet to meet them, while we've already met the parents of Puck, Quinn, Kurt and Finn. They appear successful - Rachel lives in a nice house in the small town, and they are "active in the ACLU" - but we still don't know much about them.
Even though know we haven't met them, Rachel's Dads are proof that Kurt is not the only gay person in Lima, Ohio. It would be great to foster a positive relationship between them.
In this week's episode, Rachel discovers and meets her birth mother - Shelby, who's the coach of a rival glee club at a nearby high school. Rachel struggles emotionally through the episode about having grown up without knowing her mother. At the end, she realizes that after 15 years Shelby may be her birth mother - but she can never be her "Mom."
Gay marriage opponents are getting creative - and this subplot reminded me of what Jennifer Morse of the right-wing National Organization for Marriage recently argued at a forum on same-sex marriage that I attended. Marriage, she said, is about starting a family with children - and having gay couples starting a family "deprives" children of having a Mom and a Dad.
So let's meet Rachel's gay Dads, and learn what a great job they did raising her. And let's have an open debate with N.O.M. about what kind of teenagers are more at risk:
Kids like Rachel, who have been "short-changed" by not having a Mom and Dad?
Or children like Kurt, who grew up knowing they are gay - but live in conservative small towns where they risk hate and harassment every day, and can even be driven to suicide?
And in Kurt's case, they will grow up knowing that if they ever find true love, they can never marry that person to start a family - an ambition that every child (gay or straight) grows up having.
