It's been six years since the last episode of MTV's "Total Request Live" aired, a show that epitomized teen years for millennials. In its early days, it was a time before YouTube, when you had to tune in live to watch your favorite music videos and when world premieres were actually a monumental moment.
Thanks to one pop star, the music countdown series is returning for one more episode, according to the network. On what will be called "Total Ariana Live," Ariana Grande will perform her hit song "Problem" and debut her new single "Break Free" on Wednesday, July 2. So, it's not exactly "TRL" as we once knew it.
The 30-minute special will take place at the iconic Times Square studio where Grande and Sway (SWAY!) will talk about her upcoming second album and make a special announcement. Our guess is that she'll surprise the audience with free ice cream, à la Mariah Carey in 2001.

There was general consensus among my coworkers about my overall condition as I returned to the office yesterday afternoon. "You look tired," a few of them observed. Frankly, I was tired, and I wasn't even trying to hide it.
Yesterday marked my 12th Move-in Day as a member of the RIT community, but I experienced this one in a way unlike any previous. I did this year's as Dad.
My son Austin is joining the RIT student body this fall. He will study civil engineering technology in the College of Applied Science and Technology, and we are both very excited about the opportunities that await him on campus and beyond.
I have always been in love with the annual right of passage that is RIT's Move-in Day. Each year, University News takes part in the activities by managing a presence at the New Student Orientation Resource Fair. It gives me and the other members of the team a chance to meet incoming students and their proud parents, and it's always great fun.
Frequently during the event, I hear family members rave about how well the university orchestrates its move-in activities. A lot of effort by a broad range of people on campus goes into making that possible, so the praise never surprises me. But this year, I had a chance to test it out myself.
The day started early—mine with a bowl of cereal but Austin was fueled entirely by adrenaline. He had things packed and waiting by the doorway, so we were off and running.
Arriving on campus, slightly ahead of our assigned 9 a.m. drop-off, we were greeted by student volunteers who cheerfully pointed our way through the process. I left Austin curbside to tend to his possessions while I went in search of parking. Shortly after finding spots available on the north side of campus, I parked the car and joined a group of visitors waiting nearby for transportation back to the dorms. To everyone's delight, a shuttle bus appeared within minutes.
"I've been through this here before," I heard one mom say. "They're very organized." It turned out this was not her first child to attend RIT, and she went on to praise the university on a variety of levels during our short bus ride. It made me smile.
By the time I returned to the residence halls, Austin had relocated most of his things to his new home inside Gibson Hall. We got him settled then made our way to the Resource Fair. Along the way, I introduce Austin to some of my RIT colleagues—folks like Chris Denninger, director of Public Safety, and Dawn Soufleris, director of Student Conduct and Conflict Management Services. I jokingly (okay, half jokingly) warned him not to do anything that requires he get to know either too well. In response, both offered him great advice on how to effectively manage various aspects of his campus experience. In fact, no matter where we went or who we spoke with, the response was warm and welcoming.
We eventually made our way back to the dorm room in time to meet Austin's roommate, Matt, and his family. We enjoyed getting to know each other, and my gut tells me the boys are well matched.
Finally, we wandered off campus to collect some missing essentials—and a few non-essentials. It was merely mid-afternoon by that point, but the volume of activity and its intensity were catching up with me. You could stick a fork in me—I was done!
But as I reflect on my day, I realize that, yes, it was exhausting, but it was also very fulfilling. I came away with enhanced pride in RIT and renewed admiration for my fellow members of the campus community—each who help put the university in its best possible light. I can't even imagine how tiring the process could be for incoming families if not for their efforts to keep things so well managed.
So next year, as I return to my post at the New Student Orientation Resource Fair, I'll be keeping an extra measure of support on reserve for you tired parents who wander through. I'm there for you. I get it now.
Loved your post Paul! Have been thinking about you and Austin a lot over the last couple of days. I hope that you will continue to write about this "new" perspective that you have. Good luck to you both!
Great post! We've had the same experience—twice. It's so different moving through the day through a parents eyes. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful—I can't say enough. I have such a deep respect for all the folks who make move-in day seem effortless.
Thanks to all!
It's such an honor and great pleasure to be on hand as these terrific young men and women step over the threshold of a great adventure. Best wishes to Austin and all the new members of the RIT family!

Heating and Cooling Toronto
Purpose: Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. This inhibits the growth of mold and dust mites. They are especially useful in parts of the house where the moisture collects, like damp basements.
Dehumidifiers pull air over cold coils, condensing its moisture before passing the air over warm coils and back into the room. (Air disease's also a certain amount of moisture from the air, but dehumidifiers do much more efficient.) The condensed water drips into a container in the unit needs to be emptied. The water can be forwarded directly to a drain by means of a hose.
Home dehumidifiers removing between 10 to 50 liters of water from the air every day, depending on the relative humidity. The capacity of a unit, is measured by the number of pints can remove in a period of 24 hours at 60 percent relative humidity and at 80 degrees Celsius
Harmful dust mites, which are microscopic organisms that particularly aggravate allergy and asthma sufferers, thrive in high humidity. They live in your sheets, your curtains, your carpets and in the air in your home. Removing excess moisture from the air helps to control these pests. Dehumidifiers can also help reduce mold and bacteria growth.
Following are the benefits and disadvantage of using Dehumidifier with conventional heating and cooling Toronto home comfort system.
Health Benefits: dehumidifiers are crucial for households in humid climates with very old people or very young children, or for families with a history of allergies or asthma. In their first two years of life, children spend a lot of time on the floor or carpet. If you're a 10-year-old garment, probably a large number of dust mites that thrive in the high humidity. And the more you are exposed to something you have a genetic tendency to be allergic, the more likely you are allergic to it, whether fungi, bacteria and dust mites.
Disadvantages: Mold can grow in the catchment of a dehumidifier, so regular water basin clean with bleach. Also, smaller units not dry out the air satisfactorily all the time. You should consider choosing a larger capacity unit, an output of 50 liters per day or more. It can always be rejected.

I wish I could say I was reading more than this, but my Kindle has been dead for over a week. I'm sure it's been dead far longer than that but I didn't know it, since there isn't much time for reading in this baby-centered universe of nursing/diapers/napping that I'm living in. But there's always time for the internet, thanks to small portable devices from Apple!
Magic formula for baby names – I love names, thinking about names, making lists of names, mocking others for their choices of trendy, yooneek names.
Things no one tells you before you have a baby – I got pretty tired of these lists, sometimes it just seems like people are trying to scare you or gross you out but what can you do? NOT have your baby? This article is pretty spot on however, especially the part about how it takes five hours to watch a movie and you may never eat hot food again.
The Meanest Mother in the World – Love this blog post. I had a baby so I could be someone's mother, I have enough friends.

Britney taught Heidi Klum how to use diapers!November 14th, 2007 - 6:09 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov14 (ANI): Supermodel Heidi Klum has revealed that Britney Spears gave her a tip or two about how to change diapers.
The German model received the tutelage after the actress turned up uninvited to her Halloween bash at L.A.'s Green Door lounge.
"We were talking about babies and diapers and she explained to me a lot of things about diapers I that didn't know," quoted Klum as saying on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"You know these sticky things on the side? I never knew that they were there. To close them in the front, I was always putting string around. I had no idea.
"It's very clever. I learned a lot of things," she added.
Meanwhile Project Runway hostess Heidi Klum also talked about her two years of marriage with singer Seal.
She joked that she might follow Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman's trend of "Naked Sundays".
"I might have to copy her and do that. I'll do 'Seal and Heidi's Naked Sunday,'" she said. (ANI)

Has anyone else noticed that the last three posts have been chocolate themed? Oops, Not sure how that happened :-)… Taking my cue from the recent arrival of summer, I decided it was time for something a little fresher and lighter.
In my opinion, fresh, homemade lemonade is the perfect summer beverage. It conjures images of children with 5 cent lemonade stands; romantic picnics in the park; and grandma's and grandpa's enjoying a summer afternoon in the shade on their front porch. For this reason, I thought that a lemonade cookie would be the ideal nod to summer's return.
The recipe turned out to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. Increasing the juice gave a nice fresh flavour, but the cookie ended up too soft. Replacing the juice with extract made the a great texture, but the flavour wasn't so fresh. It was quite the balancing act… I settled on this combination of fresh lemon juice, extract, and rind. The cookie is still of the soft variety, but not overly so… Dave loved them. I was planning on taking them for my co-workers, but he refused to share and devoured the whole batch in two days!
Lemon Sparklers
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Margarine
3/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Pureed Tofu (soft)
Rind From 1 Large Lemon, finely shredded
3 tbsp Lemon Juice, fresh (about 2 lemons)
1/4 tsp Lemon Extract
5 – 10 drops Yellow Food Colouring (optional)
Additional Sugar (for rolling)
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Cream the margarine and sugar. Add the tofu, rind, juice, and extract and beat until thoroughly combined.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Using a tablespoon to measure, scoop dough, shape into a ball, and roll in the sugar. Place coated balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet… The dough is soft and has a tendency to spread, so once a ball of dough is in formed, work quickly to get it onto the sheet.
Bake for 10 -15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
Make approximately 24 cookies.

This post may contain affiliate links.
If you buy something from one of the linked sites you won't pay anything more, but I might make a commission.
[The following post was commissioned by Treatful.com]
As anyone with kids (or, um, anyone who's married to me) knows, stuff piles up. Even the most well-intentioned gift may end up being shoved in a closet, given to Goodwill or re-gifted to an annoying relative. This is why I love the idea of gifting experiences instead of things. Great food is something that will be enjoyed and remembered long after the meal is over.
Treatful is a website that allows you to quickly and easily give restaurant gift certificates. Many of the restaurants even allow the gift to be given digitally, with no gift card to be delivered – a beautiful certificate is emailed to the recipient, who just prints it out and brings it to the restaurant. Easy, but thoughtful. Simple, but attractive. And the best part for you, the giver? No fees! The amount of the gift is the amount you pay. (Actually, my readers will get an even better deal than that: there's a discount code at the end of this post!)
Here's how it works:
- Search the Treatful site for restaurants in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco
- Narrow your search by price, neighborhood, cuisine, and special features; add restaurants to your "short list" as you go, to keep track of the ones you like
- Treatful's restaurant pages give you a description of the restaurant, pictures, links to Yelp ratings, the location on a map, and a suggested gift amount for two people to have a meal
- Once you've chosen a restaurant, you can customize the look of the certificate that will be emailed, or if you want to print the certificate out and give the treat in person, you can have it sent to your own email address
- You can choose a specific date to have your treat emailed on, allowing you to get organized in advance
- You can pay via credit card or PayPal (Treatful is a PayPal verified business)
- That's it! Your gift will be delivered
- Treatful treats never expire!
I have a foodie sister in San Francisco who would love to get a gift like this. I even found the great Italian restaurant down the street from me on Treatful! This is a great way to support local restaurants. Maybe I should buy that treat and give it to myself. :-)
Discount Code
As if the very idea of this site isn't great enough, here's an extra enticement to try it out: just enter the code SMOM at checkout and you'll receive 10% off of your order! Discounts on gift certificates are rare, so this is like getting free food. But hurry, this fantastic discount code can only be used through December 31st, 2011.
You can see more about Treatful here, including their faq page, and can get even more info by following Treatful on Twitter and liking Treatful on Facebook.
Happy gifting!

Ive subscribed to the Harvard Business Review for about five years. When the monthly magazine arrives in the mail, it often seems there are either several articles pertinent for business intelligence or none at all. The February 2009 edition was one of the former.
The article: Why Good Leaders Make Bad Decisions, cites neuroscience research to observe that leaders often make decisions through the unconscious processes of pattern recognition and emotional tagging. Pattern recognition use assumptions from prior experiences to categorize a current decision situation, often suggesting solutions similar to those that worked in the past. Emotional tagging is about the emotionally-committed preferences of the decision-maker, which of course can have substantial impact on the action taken. These processes, which in ways are similar to rules of thumb or heuristics, may produce effective decisions. They may also, however, be sources of systematic bias that can lead to faulty decisions.
The article cites examples from a book by one of the authors, Sydney Finkelstein, of Dartmouths Tuck School of Business, that conducted post-mortems of flawed business decisions. The articles authors suggest that businesses need to build safeguards into their management decision processes driven by red flag conditions to guard against such sources of bias.
Tom Davenports article: How to Design Smart Business Experiments, offers a scientific antidote to the on a wing and a prayer approach to decision-making. The culture of hypothesize/experiment/learn for operational decisions is closely aligned with the Evidence-Based Management philosophy espoused by Stanford professors Jeff Pfeffer and Bob Sutton. Indeed, the hypothesize/test foundation for business decisions is promoted in the Balanced Scorecard, Super Crunchers, and Enterprise Decision Management.
Davenport espouses a cycle for putting ideas to the test that includes:
- Create/Refine Hypotheses
- Design Experiment
- Execute Experiment
- Analyze Results
- Plan Rollout
- Rollout
Findings from all steps in the process are submitted to a Learning Library for posterity and, hopefully, for reuse.
Testing generally makes the most sense for smaller, operational decisions that are repeated often the core of business transactions. At eBay, Amazon, and Google, randomized testing is the norm for website development. Sears has tested several formats for including its merchandise in Kmart stores, and vice-versa. Capital One has been in the testing vanguard since 1988, using experiments to design new offerings, moving to the top ranks of credit card companies by its ability to turn a business into a scientific laboratory subject to testing using thousands of experiments. And Harrahs Entertainment has given teeth to its hypothesize/test/learn culture by a mandate that not using a control group is rationale for termination.
Business Intelligence, which distinguishes between exploratory and confirmatory analytics, loves the focus given its efforts by an evidenced-based culture built on hypotheses and experimentation. Evidence-based companies generally embrace BI early and significantly; return on investment (ROI) exercises for BI are strategic and substantive.

Take one part reality television, two parts Settlers of Catan, add a dash of Hunger Games-potential, and you have Utopia, an absolutely batshit-sounding reality monster set to air on Fox. From the mind of The Voice creator John de Mol, the series has already proven to have initial success in its original iteration in The Netherlands, where over 5,500 people auditioned to prove themselves capable of creating an entire civilization from scratch. Hello apocalypse obsessives, have we got a show for you!
The series throws its contestants — I'm sorry, "pioneers" — into a remote setting for a whole entire year, where they are tasked with creating this brave new world. It's part social experiment, part role-playing game. Where all my Settlers of Catan players at?
"Utopia will be the largest, most ambitious social experiment on television … [it] offers people from all walks of life the chance to start all over again and re-write the rules of civilization as we know it," explained Fox EVP of alternative entertainment Simon Andreae. "It addresses fascinating and fundamental questions about human law, morality and social structures, wrapped in an irresistible and truly forward-thinking television format." And that's, well, putting it lightly.
If you thought the perma-airing ways of the Big Brother empire were intense, Utopia will likely trump them. The pioneers will be on-camera 24/7, with the whole thing streaming online in addition to the "hours" of primetime committed to the series. But where other shows focus mostly on a person's ability to be edited down to an interesting character, Utopia will have to take actual skill into consideration, as the production promises that no outside intervention will be provided. Just like in a real live apocalypse!
Needless to say, the Lord of the Flies is strong with this one.

Twelve years ago I was standing in the checkout line at Food Lion when someone said that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.
I remember thinking it sounded like a terrible accident and I would find out the details later. I knew it would be a tragedy for someone somewhere, but didn't really expect it to have much effect on my life.
Even if I had known the full details of what had occurred, I could not have imagined what it would mean.
We all know how that awful day unfolded and how our world changed within a span of a few terrifying hours. Now I wake up every morning in a country that has been at war almost every day since.
It's troubling to think that my daughter and all her friends and playmates have lived their entire lives in a time when war is the status quo.
We all have friends and family members who have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, often many times over. Too many of them did not return.
We have an entire generation of men and women who have endured the horrors of combat. Thousands have come home wounded and broken in body and mind.
We have mortgaged our country's future financing these wars. We have undermined our Constitution to execute them and given away freedoms to build a wall of security around our nation.
We will be paying this bill of blood, money and moral compromise for another generation to come, if not longer. Yet it seems harder to tally what we have gained in the process.
So, 12 years later, here we are again. Let us think on the sacrifices of the innocents who were murdered and those who have gone to avenge them.
Before we plunge into another war in yet another unresolvable conflict, we should look back, but also ahead at the next 12 years. What will our world look like then?
Is it a world we want our children to live in? If not, what are we doing to make it so?

In a funk about the election results?
There may be an app to cure your blues.
Beginning on Monday, streaming music service Google Play Music will relaunch with an unparalleled scare-the-pants-off-you artificial intelligence function that can deliver playlists based on your location, what you are doing — or what mood you are in.
Thanks to its hold on your e-mail, calendars, maps, traffic app and even the motion sensor on your phone, Google can deliver music to get you ready to work out at the gym, ease into a vacation and even pick you up if you've been complaining about being blue.
"Google understands the kind of place you're at, so home means something different from the gym, a bar, a park or an airport," Elias Roman, product manager at Google Play Music, told The Post.
"We understand activity so with device sensors we understand differences between driving, running and biking and weather that drives what we do and what we want to feel like," said Roman, who sold intelligent streaming service Songza to Google in 2014.
The relaunched streaming service, with its spooky smart AI, is aimed at "making people feel how they want to feel."
In addition, Google Play Music understands what is called characteristic popularity — which means it knows what the people in your city are listening to and can serve up similar music.
If it sounds too intrusive, Google points out that you have to opt in to the suped-up features.
Play Music is free with advertising or is $9.99 per month for ad-free service and the ability to play music offline.
It also includes access to Google's other paid music service YouTube Red, for video exclusives.

Sherman Lewis: Former Spartan Football and Track Standout
Lewis to be inducted into MSU Athletics Hall of Fame Sept. 7.
Sept. 4, 2001
Sherm Lewis played football and ran track for Michigan State from 1961-64 and is one of seven former Spartans who will be inducted into the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame on September 7, 2001. Joining Lewis in this year's class are Jerry DaPrato (football, 1912-15), Sue Ertl (golf, 1977-80), George M. (Jud) Heathcote (basketball coach 1976-95), Weldon Olson (ice hockey, 1951-55), Steve Smith (basketball, 1987-91) and John D. Wilson (Football, 1950-52).
"This is one of the greatest honors I have ever had," said Lewis. "To be included with this selected class is very impressive and I'm very grateful to everyone that made this possible."
Lewis excelled in each sport and was captain of both the football and track teams. In Lewis' first season on the track team his sophomore year, he was the Big Ten indoor champion in the long jump and the 300-yard dash.
In the fall of 1962, Lewis had a breakthrough season on the gridiron, earning second-team All-Big Ten and honorable mention All-America honors at halfback. He continued his success the following winter as the captain claimed first place in the long jump at the Big Ten indoor championships for the second consecutive year.
Lewis captured first-team All-America status and was also named the Football News Player of the Year as a senior in 1963. He rushed for 577 yards on 90 carries and was the squad's leading receiver with 11 catches for 303 yards. Named the team's MVP in 1963, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, making him just one of two MSU players ever to finish that high in the balloting. Lewis closed out his football career fifth on MSU's career rushing list with 1,566 yards and third in total touchdowns (23) and total points (144).
Lewis' accomplishments on the field earned him invitations to the East-West College Football All-Star game in 1963 and the Hula Bowl in 1964. He was a recipient of the M.M. Knappen Merit Award in 1963 and was presented the prestigious Chester L. Brewer Award in 1964, which is given to a graduating senior at Michigan State for distinguished performances in athletics and scholarship and for possessing a high degree of leadership qualities and skill.
Lewis accredits football head coach Hugh "Duffy" Daugherty (1954-72) for much of his success at Michigan State.
"Duffy was a very serious competitor who taught me how to win," said Lewis. "But he also taught me the other side of life and how we can't take ourselves seriously all the time. He was by far my biggest influence as an athlete at Michigan State."
After a brief stint in the pros with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (1964-65) and the American Football League's New York Jets (1966), Lewis returned to the Michigan State football program, serving as an assistant coach for 14 seasons (1969-82). Originally hired by the late Daugherty, he later coached on the staffs of Denny Stolz, Darryl Rogers and Frank "Muddy" Waters.
In 1983, Lewis made the jump to the National Football League, serving nine years (1983-91) on the San Francisco 49ers staff. The first six years he was the running backs coach, tutoring All-Pro backs Roger Craig and Tom Rathman, while the last three he served as the wide receivers coach, honing the skills of Jerry Rice and John Taylor. Lewis won Super Bowl titles with the 49ers in 1985, 1989 and 1990.
Lewis spent the next eight years (1992-99) as the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, who also won the Super Bowl in 1996. Under Lewis, All-Pro NFL quarterback Brett Favre threw for 30,894 yards and 236 touchdowns becoming the first player to win three straight MVP awards.
This fall, Lewis enters his second season as the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings.
In his previous 18 years in the NFL, Lewis' teams have compiled a 221-97-1 (.694) combined regular season and playoff record, made 15 playoff appearances, won 11 division titles, been involved in nine NFC championship games, won five NFC championships and won four Super Bowls.
"My experiences at Michigan State helped prepare me for a life in athletics," said Lewis. "I learned how to adapt to a big campus and new environment and how to deal with different people from all races and cultures. I also learned how to take that competitive spirit in athletics and apply it to all facets of my life, which has helped me battle through all the ups and downs that I've had to face over the years."
** Today marks the fourth installment of a seven-part series unveiling the members of the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2001. Former Spartan forward and U.S. Olympian Weldon Olson will be featured on Wednesday (Sept. 5).
** The MSU Athletics Hall of Fame, which is located in the Clara Bell Smith Student-Athlete Academic Center on the campus of Michigan State University, was dedicated on Oct. 1, 1999. It is open to the general public on home football Saturdays, normally two hours after the game. The $250,000 Hall of Fame displays key moments in Spartan athletic history as well as plaques of the 72 current inductees. The charter class of 30 former Spartan athletes, coaches and administrators was inducted in 1992.

Literally, all the wooden fences are gone. And its a metaphor for the relationships we now have with our neighbors
Pastor Dave Samples, Cornerstone Baptist Church
More than 800 homes were damaged or destroyed when tornadoes swept through this north-central Colorado town May 22, but local pastors say the town has never been closer.
"Literally," said Pastor Dave Samples, of the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Windsor, "all the wooden fences are gone. And it's a metaphor for the relationships we now have with our neighbors."
It is estimated that 100-200 homes were destroyed and another 600-700 homes and businesses were damaged when the mid-day storm hit.
A large tornado, like the one that struck Weld County, is not common to this part of Colorado, near the Wyoming border, and it's been more than half a century since the last one was recorded here. However, the county does experience small twisters.
Samples' church sustained roof and structural damage and some windows were blown out by the twister. But the church continued to serve its members and neighbors.
"It was kind of blocked off as a disaster zone," he said. "The tornado was on a Thursday, and we had services on a Sunday."
But some other churches were not so lucky. The Windsor Community Church, a non-denominational congregation, was completely destroyed as was the Church of the Ancient Path, a Baptist congregation. Samples said members of that church are worshipping at his church.
Since Samples' congregation was able to keep the doors open, the Salvation Army operated a feeding unit in the parking lot. Cleanup teams from the Southern Baptist Convention and Mennonite Disaster Services have also helped to clean up yards and remove debris from farmers' fields. Removal of that debris is needed to get farmers back into their growing season as will the replacement of livestock lost in the storms.
Only one death, that of man who was in his car in a campground near Greeley, has been recorded. The tornadoes in and around Windsor, a community of about 16,000, caused an estimated $150 million worth of damages.
"It's amazing no one (else) was killed," said Samples.
Pastor Linda Pelletier, of the First United Methodist Church in Windsor, was also amazed how few people were injured.
Pelletier's church has been used as distribution center for goods donated by Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware and Manweiler Hardware, local store.
"They are sending goods to help," Pelletier, said of Wal-Mart and Ace Hardware. "The stuff is coming from all over the state."
A recent meeting was organized by FEMA and the Colorado Division of Emergency Management to set up a long term recovery effort. Michael Bright, the chairman of Colorado VOAD and the executive director of Adventist Community Services, based in Denver, said affected home and business owners will be allowed to seek federal assistance through FEMA after they find out how much insurance coverage they have.
"There's going to be a significant (number who) didn't have enough," he said.
Bright said Weld County is fortunate to have a consortium of 200 churches that are attached to an email and fax system that allows the organizations to get the message out as soon as possible to warn church members of an impending disaster.
Linda Randolph, a lay minister at the First Presbyterian Church in Greeley, about 10-15 miles from Windsor, was visiting a church member who was in home recuperating with health problems. On the way back on home, she was worried she didn't have enough gas as sheets of rain fell all around on her on the road.
She stopped at a gas station and was advised to find shelter in a nearly Safeway supermarket, where she and about 20 others huddled in a meat locker to survive the storm, and while they were there, they prayed and cried.
"(One woman) was afraid for her children," said Randolph, "she didn't know where they were."
When the storm passed, Randolph went out and found her car unscathed while the one next to hers had the windows blown out. From there, she said, she tried to find her daughter and grandchildren, who were safe at a school. But the drive home, normally an easy commute, took her about two hours.
Randolph and others at her church will be collecting money for those in Windsor, a bedroom community to Greeley, to recuperate from the tornado.

Messi Shows Dribbling Skills in FIFA 16 No Touch Dribbling Trailer
In the real world of football it's very rare that players throw their legs around or do ridiculous spins to go past a defender, with a mixture of momentum, feinting and subtle touches of the ball usually the most effective way to do so. Lionel Messi is a perfect example of this, with the little genius dropping his shoulder one way before darting off in the opposite direction a delightfully common visual treat during Barcelona matches.
In order to capture this kind of motion, EA Sports have announced a new dribble control system for FIFA 16 - one which mimics Messi brilliantly. You can actually see in action in the video at the top of the page. Describing No Touch Dribbling as like driving a car, holding down the skill shoulder button disengages the engine, allowing fine touching with the analogue stick to try and fool defenders into going the wrong way. Whether it works or not seems dubious from various videos, like this playthrough at E3:
Gamers will now be able to feint, free up space and beat defenders without the ball - skills which will soon be being used to humiliate friends and loved ones across the country. All it will take is a press of the L1/LB button to step away from the ball and a flick of the left analogue to shift the player's body and - voila - you'll ghost past your best mate's back four and score your eighth goal of the match.
Get ready for gloating. "No Touch Dribbling" should be a game changer.

Re: All Things Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part
Y'know somethings starting to occur to me about this whole JL debacle.
Well let's look at the facts:
It was all started by rumor.
There has never been an official announcement by any involved parties.
Snyder flat-out denied any involvement and explicitly stated 12 months ago that MOS would have nothing to do with JL.
Since then he has been coy about it, as has Nolan.
What does this all mean? Well we know that WB is definitely trying to make a JL film. They have been for years. But I feel that it's all still stuck in a gestation wait-and-see period. I think they're still deciding their approach and they're letting sites throw around ideas of building it on the TDK and MOS films as it's an idea they've no doubt thrown around internally.
But really
has been announced.
I've actually grown a great amount of respect for Snyder in the last year. MOS looks amazing from what we've seen and it seems like he's treated the source material with more reverence and respect than I could have imagined. I also think himself and Nolan consider their films more 'sacred' and above what WB is prepared to warp them too. Just look at the latest quote from Snyder. He said he has no idea how they can do a JL film (surely he would know alot more than he's letting on regarding the status of JL) but MOS is
, and that's all he's worried about.

Why is there no (apparant) input on the part of NASA in the planning of a second version of Chandrayaan named Chandrayaan 2.
Is NASA unwilling to share with the Indians (and the Russians) the wealth of technological/logistical information gained from their enormously successful Apollo flights to the moon ?
Why is there Russian collaboration with the Indians but no American involvement?
Why is it merely a "hardware" hi tech mission..........after all wouldn't NASA have been cooperative with a friendly government in the sharing of vital information towards a successful mission? In other words - ALL the necessary information is already there for a MANNED flight - right? So why not?
Why was Chandrayaan I incapable of mapping HR images of the Apollo landing site that would have conclusively put the matter to rest?
Will the new mapping planned by Chandrayaan II be capable of such HR imaging - if so will they take the pictures - or has NASA claimed the site off limits from above and well as on the moonground?
Nozette worked as a technical consultant for Israel Aerospace Industries between 1998 and 2008. After he left the government job, Nozette was heavily involved in India's extraterrestrial Moon probe, Chandrayaan-1. He was a principal investigator of the Mini-RF instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and a co-investigator on Chandrayaan-1. Source en.wikipedia.org...
And with Chandrayaan we also have to look at Stewart Nozette.

Worden and Irwin are sort of painted on there, glued if you will, to the CM backdrop. Bit of an exaggeration, but not much. This is an example of a "weightless scene" which we may have "figured out". Keep in mind, all weightless scenes were NOT done the same way. This one more likely than not employed a layering technique, like green screening or something similar. Scott is the overlay. He would have been shot with nothing but GREEN behind him and then when layered, the only thing one would see from that filming would be Scott, the green having been subtracted out.
The Gif is in the Extenal link below............
RE: Apollo 15 In Flight Press conference part Two www.youtube.com...
I copied the vid into V Downloader and I also opened it for viewing in Virtual Dub so as to
examine it very closely. At frame 2:41 or so Worden goes for his nose. In doing so so as his hand comes down he momentarily rests it on an upright object in front of all of them. As he's doing that it appears as though his hand brushes against the pocket of Scott's left arm. Here is a Gif of that incident.
Code for forums for the Gif - GIFSoup
Direct link for the Gif gifsoup.com...
In Virtual Dub I slid the cursor bar rapidly back and forth and the fakery of Scott's "floating" antics become quite apparent. Its possible that he's merely 'jumping' up and down from a seated position OR there is a device under the seat that accomplishes the up and down motion.
The fact that Worden's hand goes between the vertical object and Scott's arm leads me to believe that there is not a green screen involved. BUT it's still a faked scene in spite of that fact. They are deliberately creating an illusion of him floating.

And with Chandrayaan we also have to look at Stewart Nozette.
Spell it out for us, please. Random factoids do not a conspiracy make.
Chandrayaan had US Navy gear on it. Stewart Nozette was the NASA guy who went to India to oversee the gear. Stewart Nozette was also caught on video trying to make a deal with FBI agents posing as Israeli intelligence agents.
We can use your help brother Vitruvian. There is much at stake here, so very very much.
I noticed in the 1991 video that Jim doesn't walk with any kind of limp. For a man his age,
with a history of his injuries, I might expect him to walk with some kind of impediment.But he walks with ease and his gait is completely normal to my untrained eyes.
One of the best parts of Irwin's 1991 video is when he is handed the green sheet of paper with the superior articulate questions. When Jim get's tired of answering such well written queries he majestically goes to the children, to answer the simple questions of the children and to comfort them in their childish ignorance.
I believe that Jim Irwin was brainwashed by the C I A.
Sure, i will make this one count.So here goes, your right hand

All I was trying to accomplish in my analysis of the video was to say that a "green screen" probably wasn't used without refuting the notion of fakery in NASA's portrayal of the astronauts during the interview, AND my examination might also preclude the notion of "layering" of any kind having been employed.
As I examined the video more closely I could see that Scott's movements in relation to the others in the scene appeared to be separated from his companions – as though he were on another plane, so to speak. He isn't interacting with them in a natural manner, and the separation looks and feels "physical" and not merely due to the fact that he's emotionally detached from his comrades. Scott's "floating" movements surely appear faked, which then gives the appearance of the entire scene having been FAKED, regardless of the facts of no "green screen" or layering having been used.
I have caught your glorious leader out!
This is what i do as well as contribute when i need to.
That is my job, and i am good at it.I did my job, and have shown everyone his lies .
I would say, that is contributing to the thread sayonara.

Windows Update Website and DNS Error
Access to Windows Updates is important because it can check the important, recommended and optional updates for the system. Downloading updates using other programs may only help if you are familiar with what update is necessary for the currently installed system and Microsoft applications.
Some users may receive a DNS error when loading the Windows Update page or using the Windows Update application in Windows 7. The following section in this article will discuss how to possibly resolve accessing Windows Update.
- slide 2 of 5
DNS Error or Internet Connection Error When Using Windows Update
When you try visiting or connecting to the Windows Update website or server, you may receive DNS or Internet connection related errors. The following steps should help you solve the problem. Try each step before connecting to the Windows Update website.
- Temporarily disable your antivirus and third-party firewall programs. If you are using an accelerator or download manager, temporary disable it as well.
- Verify that your Internet options are not configured to use a proxy server, unless you are actually using a proxy server connection. In Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and the LAN settings button. Uncheck the box for "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
- If disabling the firewall did not help, add Windows Update websites in the trusted sites list in Internet Explorer: Open Internet Options, click the Security tab, and then the Trusted sites. Proceed by clicking the Sites button, and then uncheck the box before "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone". In "Add this website to the zone" type http://update.microsoft.com then click Add button. Do the same for http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Close Internet options.
- If the problem with connecting to Windows Update continues, reset the hosts file in Windows. Download Microsoft Fix it 50267 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 and run the file to reset the hosts file to default.
- Check or update your version of Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and determine if Windows has the latest version of BITS. See Microsoft KB842773 to determine the current version of BITS.
- slide 3 of 5
Windows Update Agent
If any of the above methods did not fix the DNS error in loading Windows Update page or in connecting to the Windows Update server, you may need to update or reset Windows Update Agent.
- Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) by navigating to C:\Windows\System32 folder and the locate wuapi.dll, wuapp.exe, wuauclt.exe or wuaueng.dll. Hover the mouse over any of those files to determine the version number of Windows Update Agent. At the time of this article, the current version of WUA is v7.4.7600.226. If you have an earlier version number, download the new WUA installer from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104/
- If updating to a new version of WUA did not fix the DNS error or Internet connection when visiting Windows Update, re-register the wups2.dll file in Windows. In the command prompt, type net stop wuauserv then press enter key on the keyboard to stop the Automatic Update service in Windows. Next, type regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll in the command prompt and press enter key again. If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, type regsvr32 %windir%\syswow64\wups2.dll instead. Start the Automatic Update service by typing net start wuauserv in the command prompt.
- slide 4 of 5
Resetting or Registering Windows Update Files
In some cases, resetting Windows Update is necessary:
- Download the Microsoft Fix it 50202 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 to automate the process of resetting Windows Update components. The article by Microsoft contains the manual method of resetting Windows Update files, but you should only use the manual method if you are advanced-user.
- If resetting Windows Update components did not help, manually re-register all of the related files of Windows Update.
- slide 5 of 5
Virus or Malware Infection
If nothing else works, it could be that your computer is infected with some malicious software. Some computer worms, Trojans or other types of malware can block or prevent a computer from visiting antivirus and Microsoft Windows Update servers. In some cases, the malware can add a group policy object or registry entry that will give a false report about the status of the antivirus program.
Download an on-demand scanner to scan Windows e.g. Malwarebytes, EmsiSoft Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware and then scan the computer in normal or safe mode with networking, after updating the detection signatures of the program.

Technology has infiltrated almost every part of our lives. So, it's no surprise that the world of fitness has embraced technology with both hands.
Virgin Active, in Bourke Street Melbourne recently invited me to try their new spin class. Spin classes are organised exercise classes that use stationary bicycles that allow you to alter the resistance so you can simulate riding up and down hills. A class leader tells you to alter the resistance so you're either sprinting, cruising or pushing up a hill.
I've done a few spin classes in the past and I usually find the whole thing pretty boring. You sit or stand, pedal forward or back and change the resistance based on the orders shouted by the leader – it's all imprecise. If you feel like taking it easy you can keep the resistance lower or drop your cadence.
Virgin Active recently introduced its new IC7 Indoor Cycle. It leaves you with no place to hide.
Getting started
The first step in using the new IC7 Indoor Cycle is setting it up. That means adjusting the seat and handlebars. The seat was reasonably comfortable – it's padded enough so you don't feel like you're sitting on a pillow, but not so hard that it became painful after an hour – I was in the saddle for about an hour and 15 minutes for the class I participated in.
There's a dial for adjusting the bike's resistance. This was easy to turn and the LCD display showed the level of resistance.
Functional Threshold WattRate
The IC7 Indoor Cycle differs from other spin bikes I've used is the Functional Threshold WattRate® (FTW) number. This is a measure of how much power you can produce and for how long.
The first half hour of the session I participated in was about determining my FTW. Every four minutes the bike's resistance increases, so I have to work harder to maintain a constant cadence.
The first four minute were easy, but after about 25 minutes of the resistance increasing I hit my limit with an FTW 'score' of 241. This is important as the main workout will be customised according to this value.
Coach by Colour
The IC7 Indoor Cycle display lights up in different colours depending on how hard I'm working. When I'm working at less that 55 percent of my FTW, the display is white. Between 56 percent and 70 percent and the display is blue. This progresses through green and yellow until I'm working at 106 percent or more of my FTW – that's the red zone. When the instructor is leading the class, they can see what colour you're working at as there's a 'headlight' on the front of the bike.
To move through the different levels I adjusted my cadence and the resistance level.
This system provides a specific, personalised metric, so the class leader can ensure that everyone is working at a level appropriate to their capacity. So, when our trainer, Emma Masters, group exercise coordinator at Virgin Active Bourke Street, told us to "work in the red" we were all pushing hard for that training interval.
Does it work?
The danger with using technology while exercising is it can interfere with working out. If you spend lots of time pressing buttons and swiping through touch screens, then the technology has made the experience worse.
That was not the case in the Coach by Colour class I participated in. There was some button pressing at the start as I needed to tell my bike my FTW and answer a few basic questions such as gender, age and weight. But after that all I had to do was pedal and adjust the resistance when instructed.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. By the end of the session I did I was spent. My legs were rubbery and the perspiration was pouring off me.
If you're into spin classes, then I'd recommend giving the Coach by Colour system using the IC7 Indoor Cycle a go.

Netscape "chief technology officer" Marc Andreessen outlined the future of his company today during a keynote speech at the Netscape DevCon. The big announcement: a "100% Pure Java" version of Communicator by 1998.
"Next year we are going to do a 100% pure version of Communicator built on JavaBeans," he said.
This Java version of Communicator will follow version 5.0 of the suite, dubbed "Mercury." Netscape feels that the fragmenting of the Windows market with multiple versions of the Microsoft OS makes a cross-platform component solution more important. Andreessen pointed out that the different, and somewhat incompatible versions of Windows--CE, 95, and NT--make developing for that market difficult.
"It's now clear Windows is fragmenting into multiple incompatible operating systems," Andreessen said between treks to Hardees. "All it really takes is one company to start harnessing technology, and the rest of the industry has to race to catch up because the bar has been raised."
A Netscape whitepaper on their strategy, which they call "Crossware," is available at the Netscape Web site

Thanks for the comments regarding my last post about Forums. I'd like to think that the responses back up my belief that it's good to have different forums catering to different types of designers...in much the same way that we now see a wide variety of games catering to very specific and different play styles. I didn't mention 1km1kt or RPGLaboratory, it wasn't a deliberate omission and I'm interested in some of the stuff happening over there...but like the posts from Forge newbies, a lot of what I see coming from that part of the independent games community seems to be recycled or thinly veiled copies of existing stuff. I haven't mentioned Old-school Renaissance forums (I'm pretty sure there are a few of them around), because that style of play may be valid and may have its fanatics, but it just doesn't interest me as much as pushing in new directions.
...but what about the numerous blogs I mentioned in passing as a final comment.
At the time of writing this post, my Blogroll doesn't have a whole lot of entries.
Who do I follow, and why? (In no particular order)
Tabletop Manifesto (Andrew Smith)
One of the driving forces in independent roleplaying in Australia, despite not having a fully realised game of his own (that I'm aware of). He's helped build the indie Games on Demand at Gencon Oz, the Stockade (an Aussie design collective) and Go Play Brisbane. The Blog may not be that prolific, but it's good to keep in contact with locals who are generally operating on the same wavelength.
Abby's Place (Zac D)
Again, not one of the most prolific blogs, but Zac seems to be struggling with getting together a good finalised game, in much the same way that I have been over the last couple of years. It's fun to watch an excited designer post his observations about the new games he encounters, such as the positive responses to Polaris and the negative responses to FreeMarket. It's always enlightening to get someone else's perspective.
The FreeRPG Blog (Rob Lang/1km1kt)
I'm pretty sure this is included in the 1km1kt family of websites. This blog seems to go through bursts of activity, with some great detailed posts about some awesome free games. Despite not having a huge number of posts, I like to have a look through the archives of this blog to find a free idea from the past, or link across to a random download to get my creative juices flowing again.
The Stockade (Andrew Smith and Nathan Russell)
Being the "Official" Blog for the Stockade, I naturally have a look at this whenever something new comes up. There are plenty of references to other blog articles on useful topics such as publishing, design ideas, or convention opportunities for local designers. I don;t look at the Stockade Blog as much as I probably should, because I see the hive of Stockade activity being the associated Google Group.
Fifth World Design Diary (Jason Godesky)
I love the concept that Jason is working on, and I've pointed this out to him. But I'm not sure where it's heading or whether it's stuck in a development hell like a lot of my own projects. It could almost be described as post apocalyptic "shaman-punk" (no, not really...but that was the first phrase that came to mind). Jason wants to play with the way games are used as storytelling mediums, following some very different paths to those that have been trodden before. It's a tough walk, but I hope he'll lead us to some new and fertile ground.
Blessing of the Dice Gods (Jeff Russell)
I look over there, he looks over here. Jeff's blog only started this year but he seems to be going pretty strong; with a diversity of topics within the gaming field, from miniatures to story-game hacks, to the development of his own system. I've checked here a few times, ad I probably should put a few more comments on his entries to show where I'd be interested in taking some of his ideas.
20 Sided Woman Project (Unknown)
I don't know who writes this, and it's been a while since there were regular updates. But it's interesting to get the perspective of a female surrounded by a hobby filled with males. It's mostly odd because at least half of the gamers I've regularly played with in the past have been female (especially in LARP circles), but the stereotypes are still present in the hobby. I'll have a look here whenever some new comes up, which isn't that often at the moment.
The Mighty Atom (John Harper)
I don't look over here all that often, John is one of those "influential" types on Story Games, so if you want to hear people harp on about his games (no pun intended) just flick through the first couple of threads of SG and you'll find someone saying something nice about his wares. Despite this negative sounding comment, he produces some great stuff and I'll admit that a lot of his stuff has been influential on some of my own designs. Since I hear enough about what John's doing through SG, I only check out his blog every month or two to see what I might have missed.
Fair Play (Jason Morningstar)
Another of those blogs I don't check too often, probably because I'm familiar with some of Jason's games and while I find them intriguing I've never found a group willing to play one of them. I sat on a design panel at Gencon Oz 08, with Robin Laws; and Robin indicated how good he thought Grey Ranks was as a game and a concept. Between this, Shab-Al-Hiri and his other works, Jason has some great ideas, and stuff we could all learn from.
The Alexandrian (Justin Alexander)
I was referred to this blog due to it's development of a roleplaying theory that looks superficially similar to Vector Theory, it even uses the term nodes to define decision points in the narrative. A lot of the posts aren't gaming related, so the blog isn't as focused as most people would like, but since being told about it, I've checked through its archives out a couple of times to see if there are any potential gems lurking under the rubble.
Stories you Play (Matt Snyder)
Another one I've looked at a couple of times. I'm particularly reading through a few posts about marketing and the recently started open game design project. They may not be important for everyone interested in game design, but as someone who is serious about getting his products known, I've really started to take an interest in this sort of stuff.
Dirty Princesses (David Pidgeon)
Another of those projects that I got excited about when I first heard the concepts involved...like a lot of the projects I've been watching, it seems to go through various incarnations and spurts of development before sinking into the quicksand of creative blocks. Hopefully we'll hear some more good stuff out of this project once David has been to Go Play Brisbane.
Livejournal of Robin D. Laws (Robin D. Laws)
I've been a huge fan of Robin's work since Feng Shui, I'm annoyed that I didn't exploit the opportunity to chat to him more at Gencon Oz 08. As someone who is producing dynamic and interesting gaming materials for some of the larger companies, it's interesting to see his perspective on the hobby. He's basically in the kind of position I'd like to work my way up to, freelancing for various companies on a "regular" basis, while producing a variety of additional materials on the side.
That's 13 Blogs. I know that there are a huge number of other blogs out there that I haven't mentioned, such as Raven Daegmorgan's "Autumn Wind" (which I look through occasionally, but since more of the posts seem to be non-gaming related, I felt it didn't really belong on this list), Nathan Russell's "Here Be Gamer's" Podcast, and blogs I've probably looked at once or twice but haven't felt an overwhelming desire to search through their archives.
I probably take a quick glance at what's happening in these blogs once a week (in total), and have a quick check through a variety of blog archives once every month or two to see if I can find a solution to a design problem I've been having...then there are the spontaneous mouse-clicks when a specific thread title catches my attention. So it's not a huge chunk out of my weekly schedule.
If anyone out there has some interesting game design blogs that they think I might be interested in, please comment. I'm always open to new ideas from new people.
