Summer is officially upon us (although I'm not sure this type of weather ever ends in Hawaii?). Since we move into our house Friday – eee! – I wanted to create a bucket list of things to do or try this summer and be intentional with some goals.
It's been so long since I just had my own space that felt like mine and was able to do normal things like make French press coffee! My hope moving into this house is to start fresh in every way possible, creating good habits and truly enjoying our new space and new area we're living in. So this post is a little less about summer and a little more about my personal goals with a summer twist on it.
Food & Drink
Make my own cold brew coffee. Since I'm still doing mostly decaf these days, I can't go out and buy cold brew most of the time (it's never offered in decaf, at least not here). I also want to kick my buying-coffee-all-the-time habit anyway. I'm planning on using Katie's method. Looks super easy!
Make fruit infused tea. I saw a commercial for Lipton iced tea the other day and it just looked SO good. I am personally not a fan of Lipton, but I want to make some other kind of tea with fruit in it and keep it on hand for a quick refreshing drink.
Get on the Food Prep bandwagon. I don't want to let all the awesome fruit from around here go bad! I want to focus on eating a TON of fruits and veggies since I've basically had very few for the past two months of eating without a kitchen. But I also know all my produce goes bad unless I prep it in advance.
Make our culinary experience a priority. Again, I've been missing the kitchen so much. Add to it that our new kitchen was just redone and is probably going to be my favorite room in the house, I wouldn't mind spending a lot of time there this summer.
Some things on my list to make are:
- watermelon and feta salad (all the time please)
- a dish or dip in a pineapple boat
- grill all the things – seriously anything!
- Make a lot of salads for easy refreshing lunches and dinners
- Make something in my cast iron skillet. I just got one of these but haven't used it yet. Ideas?
I hope not just to meal plan and meal prep to have food on the table but really enjoy cooking again. I really miss cooking with my husband too because that's our thing, so I hope focusing on this will just be all around good for our whole family.
Home & Self Care
Bring back date nights. Except we kind of never had them, haha! When we lived in Texas, we knew no one and Claire was still just too little for me to be comfortable with a baby sitter. We are officially ready for a real baby sitter now that she is old enough and we are not in transition anymore.
My sister-in-law is coming to live with us for a few months/possibly longer, so she is clearly my babysitter of choice. I hope she agrees to baby sit a few times a month in exchange for living with us 😉
Get some alone time for myself. I operate so much better when I can have an outing alone, whether it be just going to the store solo or something more fun.
Some ideas are:
- go to the beach for an hour by myself
- grocery shop solo every other week
- Get a pedicure
- Once a month, have a whole morning/half a day out to do whatever
Thankfully my husband's schedule is really accommodating, so I hope I can at least get out weekly for even just a small thing alone and then for a longer period of time once a month to really recharge my batteries.
Have a housewarming party. We can't wait to use our new house to entertain people. It's set up really well for entertaining so we're hoping to have a party with some of my husband's work friends (since those are the only friends we have right now – ha!) when we get settled.
Read five books. Reading is always my favorite but has been on the back burner for a while now. I've barely struggled through two books in two months, so I want to up my game. Five books sounds like a lot to me now, but at the start of the year I read five books in a month, so I know I can do it.
I am honestly just a happier person when I get that escape in reading, and I think summer is the perfect time to focus on it. I hope to find a good library here, or if not I have quite a few unread books (assuming I can find them when I unpack!). And hopefully jump back on Brie's book club!
Summer Living
Make my own sunscreen. I have been dying to do this forever but it wasn't feasible while we're in the hotel.
Make my own sugar scrub again. I love my homemade sugar scrub and consider scrubs a necessary summer beauty product. I want to make a more tropical version with pineapple or lime maybe.
Try boogie boarding. I am not quite there with surfing yet, we'll see. But I really want my own boogie board and to get out there in the ocean.
Get a new swimsuit. I have been wearing the same suits I had from well before I was pregnant or post-baby. Most my suits are strapless which is basically horrifying with a small baby pulling on you at all times. Definitely need an update!
Explore some new beaches. There are obviously endless options with this one. We have only been to the North Shore once and stuff in Waikiki. I really want to go back to the North Shore and also discover some beaches on the East side of the island where we will be sort of close to.
It's exciting to have something new to look forward to. I've felt stifled in attempting to make any goals recently so it's refreshing to look ahead and have a lot of options to keep me busy and focused on a happy lifestyle.
I'm okay if I don't accomplish every single one of these things, but it does feel nice to put some ideas on paper (er, the internet) in an attempt to focus on them.
Questions for You:
- What's on your summer bucket list?
- Any great summer recipes to share?

Computer Scam Artists and Viruses in Minneapolis St. Paul MN
Over the past few months, SpeakGeek PCs has gotten calls from customers about Microsoft or even AT&T calling them, explaining that they need to get onto my customer's computer because they found viruses or the computer might be out of date. A few of my clients had this issue, because they were trying to get a hold of Microsoft Support or even AT&T customer service, and somehow managed to contact one of these scam artists. They were told that it would be $500 to log into their computer to analyze where the problem is, and another $500 to fix the issues. So what you end up doing is giving money to a scam artist that will most likely put a key-logger program on your computer, to get logins for bank accounts and other sensitive information.
One of my customers wrote me this email recently:
"I am so pleased with the service I received from SpeakGeek in Minneapolis. A few months ago, one of your technicians came to our home to remove viruses on my husband's laptop. In addition to removing the viruses, he installed an anti-virus software on both of our laptops which we run on a regular basis. We have not had a virus problem since the software was installed. While he was servicing our laptops he told us about several scams that other people in Minneapolis were experiencing. He informed us about the calls from scammers claiming to be from Microsoft and wanting access to our computers online. A short time later we started receiving calls from the scammers. If your technician had not told us about the scam we probably would have been victims. SpeakGeek is a very excellent computer service and we will definitely call you back if we have any future computer problems. Thank you so much."
Another customer of mine caught the Ransomware virus, which basically locks up your most important files and the creators of the virus demands a ransom from the customer in order for them to get their files back. Took about a week to remove, because the customer had thousands of documents that were effected. SpeakGeek had to remove all of the files from each folder and recreate the folder because the lock was on the folders, not the files.
Some Tips on how to avoid viruses:
- Avoid clicking on everything. There are thousands of banner ads and popups on the internet that are designed to get your attention and make you click. Due to the way most modern browsers work, there are very few ways for you to get infected with something online UNLESS you click on it yourself. This means you should avoid clicking on banners for offers that are too good to be true.
- Make sure your browser is configured to always ask before running files and downloading automatically. If you have to confirm everything, you are much less likely to get infected.
- Beware of misleading popups. Some of the most nefarious popups on the internet are designed to mimic the look of legitimate anti-virus software. These popups attempt to trick the user into thinking their antivirus software has found an infection. When you click the popup, however, the adware is actually installed.
- Instead of clicking the warning, close the popup window and open the antivirus program on your computer. You most likely will not see any warnings. If you are still worried, run a scan using your installed software.
- Don't try clicking the "X" to close the popup window, as this will usually lead to more popups. Instead, use the Task Manager to get rid of it.[1]
- Other popups may warn of an infection that only their software can fix. No legitimate antivirus company will advertise their product this way, so avoid clicking on any of these popups.
- Check to ensure that your browser is configured to block popups.
- Clear your cache. Popups can store information in your browser's cache, leading to them reappearing constantly. To help prevent this, clear your browser's cache regularly.
- Don't go where you're not supposed to. As viruses are illegal, they thrive on other illegal sites. Avoid sites that let you download copyrighted content or other illegal communities. File sharing is a quick way to get infected files. You will find that your computer is much less prone to infection if you avoid things you shouldn't be doing.
- Besides viruses from files you download, many of these sites will have a litany of annoying popups and misleading advertisements. All of these could lead to virus and spyware infection.
If you have any other questions about scams or viruses, or just want to know more on how to protect yourself, please contact us! We're here to help!

Pet insurance refers to the insurance of your pets. Under Pet insurance, insurance company pays when your pet becomes ill or injured in an accident. Some of pet insurance policies also pay when your pet dies or lost. A pet is an animal which someone keeps for the purpose of enjoyment or companionship. Few of the famous pets which a person uses in his home are Dog, Cat, Fish, Birds, etc Pet insurance is very essential for your pet. All pet owners love their pet and treat their pet as a part of their family. Cat and Dogs are categorized as the most famous pets for which their owners buy the insurance policies. Now move on to the main term 'Pet Insurance Policies'.
First Pet Insurance policy was made in year 1890 by Claes Virgin. If we are discussing on the topic Pet Insurance policies, then in market nowadays a very cheap special Insurance plans are available due to high level of competition, here you can buy a policy as per you need and requirement, and the cost is also very low, but here you need to be little bit careful while buying a policy for your pet not only go for a cheap policy but do also check whether that policy is really good for your pet or not. As nowadays, Pet Insurance is gaining its popularity in the market, hence all the insurance companies are frequently launching their new plans in the market, you can select from these wide ranges of insurance policies and select as per your requirement and budget. Even nowadays most of the insurance provider companies are offering online insurance where you can see their plans online and compare it; this option not only saves your time, but gives you a wide range of selection. The general procedure of Pet Insurance is that a pet owner submits a claim to the insurance company after the pet received care then the company will reimburses the owner.
In the insurance policies, the Pet insurance plans are divided into two categories:-
These insurance plans cover all the health related issues. Pet health insurance plans includes sickness, injury, or medical check ups for your pet. These policies also covers annuals check ups and emergency treatments of your pet. There are wide range of insurance plans comes under this category which varies according to your need and budget.
We knows that a Pet is one of our good companions, but we do have to accept that a pet can also harm someone. This category covers all that expenses which occurs when your pet injured someone and make same kind of loss. A pet liability insurance policy provides financial support against all that damages which incurred due to your pet's violent nature.
Veterinary Pet Insurance is the most famous pet insurance provider. They offer policies for wide range of expenses like surgeries, prescriptions and office visits. Apart from pet insurance on Dogs and Cats, they also offer few good policies on Birds. These Bird policies cover self mutilation and feather picking. VPI Superior is the most common and famous plan of VPI. This plan covers up the expenses on Accidents, illness, doctor prescription, X-rays, surgeries and Hospitalization.
Apart from the superior plan, they also offer expensive plans, but that are not much popular and limited to rich people only. These expensive plans cover everything which includes vaccination and dental check up too. Another reason that makes VPI the most popular insurance provider, is that there are not much companies in the market that offers Pet insurance for your animals, many of the insurance providers believes that these kind of insurance is very risky hence they have not launched any plans on Pet Insurance. Pet care and Pet assure are among few other options which you can select for the insurance of your pet, they are also good competitors of VPI.
So, after discussing the different plans of Pet Insurance and VPI, in the last I just want to discuss how much amount a policy pays. In UK, all the 100% expenses are paid by the insurance provider though In US and Canada the insurance companies pays 80-90% of the total cost depends upon your plan. Pet insurance policies are divided in two parts one is for lifetime and another one is non lifetime. Lifetime Insurance policy covers a pet for ongoing conditions of the pet's lifetime. And a Non Lifetime Insurance policy which it's a short time policy purchased by a pet owner for a specific or limited time. It's on pet owner whether he renews or not after completion of that particular coverage period.

Awesome post for elephants like me!! TY for sharing!!!
Cathy, the matriarch of the Abu herd in Botswana, allowed me to stand under her to capture her beautiful amber eyes
Majestic. Adorable. Formidable. Captivating. Intelligent. Compassionate. Protective. Funny. Magnificent.
These are only a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the elephant—one of my favorite animals on the planet. I mean, who doesn't love elephants? If there's someone out there who scowls when an elephant is mentioned in conversation, I hope I never meet them. They're not worthy of attention.
As I prepare to return to Africa in June, I look forward to seeing these incredible creatures once again in the wild, honestly, I am giddy with anticipation. In the meantime, I've put together a little tribute to these powerful pachyderms with images from my trips to Tanzania, Botswana and Kenya over the last few years.
I hope you enjoy.

WASHINGTON - The first ever nationwide pedestrian and bicycle count is starting Monday September 29th and the Department of Transportation needs some help getting the job done.
DOT wants to count the number of people who walk or ride their bike to measure the demand for sidewalks and bike lanes. Representatives say they'll need thousands of volunteers statewide to help count.
Data from the project could determine future construction projects and funding for each county.
"There may be an improvement, a trail connection, the addition of a sidewalk that brings more people to that location. And as we count, over time we'll clearly understand the impacts of that investment," said Project Manager Paula Reeves.
DOT recruiters will position volunteers at key locations throughout the area during the peak periods of the day. Reeves says it will probably take about an hour either in the morning or the evening.
If you would like to help, contact the Cascade Bicycle Club at 206-957-0689, or email at email@example.com.

Sometimes superheroes need to scale up their weapons to defeat the super villains, but with this cool new Giant Batarang, that super villain must be colossally super-sized. This massive four foot wide foam rubber replica of Batman's Batarang won't fit on his utility belt or possibly even in the Batmobile, but it will fit nicely on a wall in the Bat Cave. At $199.99 though, you're going to need Bruce Wayne's money as well.

Imaginatively built between the boulders of a granite kopje (rocky hill), Ulusaba Cliff Lodge has two beautiful suites looking out over miles of untamed bushveld. The setting is truly magnificent with certainly the best views in the Sabi Sands! Add to that the superb game viewing, exclusive accommodation and personalised service; and you've got a holiday you'll be talking about for years to come.
Ulusaba Cliff Lodge offers two daily game drives; the first as sunlight dawns over the Sabi Sands and the second in the late afternoon as the light starts to fade. Not only are these golden hours fantastic for photography, but they're also the best times of day to spot the region's predators including prides of lion, cheetah and the solitary leopard.
And while the game drives are certain to get your heart racing, there's also plenty of downtime to simply relax and enjoy your incredible surroundings. Wander across to Ulusaba Rock Lodge, where you have full use of the facilities including the main swimming pool and sofa-filled lounge. Or, for the best views of all, treat yourself to a revitalising treatment at the Aroma Boma Spa.
Since Ulusaba Cliff Lodge has just two suites (accommodation up to 5 adults and 4 children) it is perfect for a family or friends seeking a secluded safari getaway. And, if you do rent the lodge exclusively, you'll have your own private chef, ranger and game drive vehicle.

As the Beliebers get ready to head to D. Y. Patil stadium tomorrow, there are still a lot of people who are skeptical about going the extra mile to see Justin Bieber perform. To see your favorite pop idol perform live is an unmatched experience. It is true you listen to the same songs that you have been playing on loop for so long. You know there is something different when it comes to the tunes and the pace of the song. It is also a bonus to see the star interacting with that audience and discovering hundreds of people who share your love for the singer. For the ones who are still skeptical, here are seven Justin Bieber songs that will make you want to go and see JB right away.
This is the song that made us fall in love with him. He was a kid then but there are Beliebers who have been fans since then and have stuck with him through all the ups and downs. Also, it would be nice to hear that song in his not-so-childlike voice.
The video of this song is still something we can watch on loop. This is probably the only video where Justin doesn't make an appearance. We would definitely want to see him perform this one live.
First Dance
When a guy asks you for a first dance, as sweetly as this, there is no way you can refuse. Also, the original was recorded before his voice broke. So it holds the same appeal as Baby.
What Do You Mean
This party track is the kind of the song you want to sing along with the pop star. And that can only happen if you are watching him live.
Where Are You Now
Another one of his recent song that has us hooked on his music. You don't want to miss the live version of it or the chance to sing along.
Do you agree with us? Tell us which song you would like to listen to him sing in the comments below and don't forget to share.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - Console and Game Discussions' started by Fieryshadowz, Apr 19, 2007.
Any games on the DS where i can drift like in Initial D?
(no i dont want to play Mario Kart...)
diddy kong racing?
umm... i'm guessing one of the Need For Speed games (Carbon, being most recent) would have a drift mode. not 100% sure on quality of the games tho.
Apart from Mario and Diddy racing games the only decent racer is Asphalt GT 2, takes a while to get into.
Other than that theres Race Driver out later this year.
I think asphalt 2 sucks, one of the worst racers for DS imo... same with ridge racer DS
I like the first asphalt urban GT, its got some nice drift mechanics, just don't expect too much from the game overall
if you want a well rounded racer, I'd go with need for speed carbon ds
and if you want one that will just punish you, go for NFSU2DS
I enjoy my racing games, good replay value in them and polish shows.
I really want a good racing game where it isn't always night time also, Asphalt Urban GT is as close as it's gotten.. and that was a launch game.. we should've had v-rally or something by now

Nanotechnology enters in the Green buildings –
Nanotechnologies represent a promising opportunity for the energy efficient transformation for the current buildings and the energy efficiency in the new buildings. Building technology always concern about making intelligent structure and nanotechnology can give many opportunities with large dimensions.
In construction industries, large efforts are given to the reduction of thermal transmittance of the envelope. Nanotechnology has the potential to enable multi-functionality in envelope components. This emerging technology can provide systems which can combine functionalities like being light-weight, high thermal resistance with thickness, fire resistance, and sound insulation. They will also address emerging health issues related with materials and ventilation such as allergies or pathologies like the sick building syndrome. On top of increased technical performance, nanotechnology enabled multifunctional light-weight solutions with affordability and give high return on investments.
Furthermore, potential exists to exploit nanotechnology through the development of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) embedded in the components and which could see whole buildings become networked with detectors and sensors to monitor energy efficiency. The new materials and their combination onto components should also consider durability, easy installation, integration and aesthetics, increased indoor comfort, embodied energy, resource-efficiency, economic and environmental aspects. The active participation of industrial partners will represent an added value to these activities and this will be reflected in the Implementation and Impact.

VIS Spectroradiometer
The new reference grade spectroradiometer spectraval is available in two versions: with and without display.
Both models are characterized by their fast measuring speed and compact design:
|- with display:
|spectraval 1511
|- without display:
|spectraval 1501
The main features of both devices are as follows:
- Optimized operation routes
- Automatic measurement in selectable time intervals

In her debut book, "The Hot One," author Carolyn Murnick fuses journalism with memoir to investigate what really happened to her closest childhood friend, Ashley Ellerin, who in 2001, at the age of 22, was found brutally murdered in her Hollywood Hills home. It's a story that Murnick, an editor at New York magazine who is originally from New Jersey, has been unraveling slowly, for years, and one that still leaves many unanswered questions. But Murnick answered some of our questions, here, and she will be on hand to discuss her book more in depth next Wednesday, September 13, at Broadside Bookshop in Northampton.
I remember first hearing about this project from you years ago [we share a literary agent] ... How long ago was it that you first started investigating your friend Ashley's murder in a serious way, and did you have any idea of how long it would actually take and where it would take you, both geographically and emotionally?
"Ashley was my first best friend — we met when we were nine years old in the late 1980s, and in some ways I think I formed my identity in reference to her. When I think of her, I remember childhood and innocence and companionship based on the simplest criteria: We liked spending time together. As we got older and started making different decisions about drugs and dating and sex, things changed between us, but I'm not sure I ever stopped comparing myself to her.
"When she was found brutally murdered in her home in Hollywood in 2001, I was shocked and devastated and had so many unanswered questions. In the years after her death, as the case continued to be unsolved, I decided that if and when I were to ever write a book, I wanted it to be about figuring out what happened to Ashley, though I had no idea when I'd feel ready to take on that project.
"In the fall of 2008, I learned a man was arrested for her murder and was connected to three other female victims, and everything changed. I realized, ready or not, the opening was there for me to begin learning more about what happened to her, and the seeds of this book began then.
"I had intended to structure 'The Hot One' around the trial of Ashley's alleged killer, which was supposed to have started by 2011, but due to unforeseen circumstances and lots of twists and turns in court, four years later, we were still waiting. I made the decision to shift the narrative and complete the book without the trial two years ago, and I finished the book in 2016. I would never have guessed that I'd have worked on things for so long. And: spoiler alert, as of fall 2017, the trial still hasn't started yet."
With "The Hot One," you are both journalist and memoirist — was one role more comfortable to inhabit than the other, and if so why?
"Both were incredibly challenging for entirely different reasons. On the journalism side, I'm an editor at New York magazine so I certainly had some familiarity with research and interviewing, but my beat is restaurants and travel. Nothing in my background prepared me for poring over coroner reports and transcripts and interviewing people who had lost a loved one and attending court hearings. I forced myself to dig deeper in service to the bigger themes I was trying to explore: the power of female friendship, the formative role childhood friendships can play for girls, and the way that our culture puts girls in boxes like 'the hot one' and 'the smart one' and implicitly holds them up in comparison to each other.
"On the memoir side, it was anything but easy to relive painful memories and investigate the moments and relationships that made me the woman I am today, but, again, I tried to stay focused on the bigger picture. That, and taking regular breaks for more meditative pursuits — tennis, cooking, biking to yoga, yoga — helped immensely."
What is one question you wish you had answered or resolved in your reporting, but couldn't resolve for whatever reason? What do you still want to know?
"There will always be another interview I could do, another report to read, another fact to learn in a case this big — I'm not sure the search for answers and for insight will ever end for me. I've also been asked a lot about closure, and whether, if and when Ashley's killer is convicted, do I think that will finally bring me a sense of resolution? Over the years of working on this book, I've come to terms with the fact that if and when Michael Gargiulo is convicted, that won't be the end for me. Some losses are too big to ever be wrapped up in a little bow. I'm not sure closure is ever really possible after something like this; in many ways, my sense of loss has only deepened as the years have passed."
You had mentors and guides during your investigation into Ashley's death. Who are some of the people who helped you or fortified you most, and what did you learn from them?
"I learned some of my most memorable lessons from watching and speaking with members of the press who were covering the hearings for Ashley's alleged killer. I met longtime crime reporter Christine Pelisek on the first day of the preliminary hearing in 2010 when she was covering the case for LA Weekly, and she's now the author of a new book on a different L.A. serial killer, The Grim Sleeper, and we did an event together last month for our books. Just watching the confident way she spoke to detectives and attorneys outside the courtroom was deeply instructive to me.
"I also connected with the team from 'CBS: 48 Hours,' who worked on a show about Gargiulo that aired in 2011. The producers there shared research with me that I could never have found on my own, and I learned a great deal from listening to their anecdotes about whom they approached for interviews and whom they didn't. 'Someone has to have their own reason for talking to us,' they said. 'We're not in the business of trying to convince anyone.' "
A murder victim can lose her identity in the press. This happened to Ashley when she was basically treated by the tabloids as a footnote to the actor Ashton Kutcher, with whom she was about to go out on a date. Were you hoping to give Ashley her identity back with your book?
"To be cynical about it, television, movies, tabloids and even crime journalism love a beautiful dead girl — think 'Twin Peaks,' '13 Reasons Why,' 'The Killing' — she's an object there to move the plot forward, and often little concern is given to who she was as a person. Give that dead girl an active sex life, and out comes the slut-shaming and victim-blaming. Ashley was subject to all of that treatment and more in the media and in court hearings, and even worse than that, in a lot of coverage she was almost entirely eclipsed by Ashton Kutcher. Outrageously, her murder became a thing that happened to him.
" 'The Hot One' pushes back against the way female victims are often portrayed in the media and in court, and it shares a human, complex portrait of who Ashley was before she died. She wasn't just a party girl who hung out with Ashton Kutcher, and she wasn't just one of the many victims of a serial killer. She was a real person with a childhood and people around her who loved her and still remember her. She was only just starting her life."
Of course, a big theme of this book, and what grounds it emotionally, is the friendship between you and Ashley, and how it changed over the years. What are some books/movies/TV shows/songs that you feel capture female friendship especially well, and why?
"Call it the Ferrante effect: I'm thrilled that we seem to be at a new moment for female-focused storytelling. I loved 'Girls,' of course, but newer shows that have grabbed me just as much include HBO's 'Insecure' and 'Fleabag' on Amazon. Both feature imperfect heroines finding their paths through trial and error.
"As for movies, though it's about sisters and not friends, the French/Turkish film 'Mustang' deeply resonated with me for the way it portrayed that exciting, murky and potentially risky time for girls between childhood and adolescence, and how your relationships start to shift with the introduction of the male gaze. Also: 'Girls Trip.' Just see it."
Carolyn Murnick will present her book in conversation with Brooke Hauser at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 13, at Broadside Bookshop, at 247 Main Street in Northampton. Call 586-4235 or visit broadsidebooks.com.

Legislation dealing with vehicle sales regulation morphed Wednesday into a $100 million revenue-raiser.
The Senate Commerce Committee added a $50 increase to the cost of certificates of vehicle title and duplicates to an otherwise largely technical bill.
State Rep. Cameron Henry said the idea is to come up with a stable source of revenue to replace dollars that would be taken out of the Transportation Trust Fund for State Police operations.
"The general goal would be to use this as a vehicle to prevent State Police from having to dip into the Transportation Trust Fund," said Henry, R-Metairie. He said the current practice "erodes" money badly needed for roads.
With a $12.3 billion backlog of transportation projects, nearly $91 million — roughly equal to 3 cents of the state's 20-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax — is set to be diverted to State Police and other services.
According to a fiscal analysis, $418 million has been diverted to State Police operations since 2005.
Legislation is moving through the process to phase out the movement of money from the fund for roads and bridges to State Police.
Under House Bill 833, the cost of a certificate of title when vehicles are purchased would increase from $18.50 to $68.50; each permit to sell or duplicate permit to sell a motor vehicle would increase from $15 to $65; and each salvage title would go from $18.50 to $68.50.
State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said the House Appropriations Committee has asked each year for his agency to look at all the services provided in the Office of Motor Vehicles and the costs of providing those services.
What is being proposed is the cost associated with those title services, Edmonson said. The cost of a title when buying a car has not gone up since 1986, he said.
Edmonson said the $50 increase would raise about $100 million based on the 2.4 million cars now and used sold in Louisiana annually.
The increased title fees would be one of the mechanisms that could be used if Transportation Trust Fund dollars earmarked for traffic enforcement are yanked, he said.
"We were looking for a bill to put it on," Edmonson said.
Henry said the legislation will get a hearing in the Senate Finance Committee before the full Senate considers it. The House also would have to agree to the new revenue-raising addition to the original bill, he said.
"We are early in the process," Edmonson agreed.

Changes and Happiness:
Hey, Everyone! I haven't written a blog in so long, but this one needed to be done and it's an important one. There are a lot of changes coming starting mid-October of this year.
You might have noticed that on my photography page I am selling my newborn props, and there has been more Fine Art and Fine Art with Children on there and of course still my fundraising mini sessions. I have made the decision to finally concentrate fully on my Fine Art, what does this mean?! It means I will no longer be photographing newborns or engagements/weddings, or family/children sessions.
I will however still be doing my Mom's Fundraising Mini Sessions every year, although there will be less of those ( 35-50 a year is too many ) and the price will change as well, oh and there will be a few full sessions available too. So if you love me doing your family session each year you still have a chance for me to do them and still get to support this cause that means the world to me.
I have some ideas for some mini Fine Art Children's Sessions for next year as well so stayed tuned for those =)
I know there will be a lot of you that are upset by this, but I really hope that all my clients and friends will support and following me on this amazing journey I am about to take. I have been wanting to do this for years, but I always put it off not sure why I just did. I realize now is the time that this needs to be done, not just for me but for my family too. My amazing husband and my boys are so happy I am doing this as well, and their support fill's my heart with joy!
So much has happened in the past 4 plus years, most of you know about my Mom and some of my closest friends know some more recent family things that are going on, all of this makes me realize even more how short life truly is and you need to do what makes you happy, what fills your heart and soul with Joy and creating art does that for me and it's time for me to do something for myself!
I have absolutely LOVED photography all the amazing families, children, newborns and moments in my amazing clients/friends lives and I Thank you so much for asking me to do them for you, I truly love you all!!
Don't forget I will still do the fundraisers so I will still get to photograph so many wonderful families and children every year in memory of my amazing Mom, and you can get one of my Fine Art session, Children's Fine Art Sessions or Creative Sessions. I look forward to all of that!
Thank you so much for reading this and for all of the support! I can't wait to share with you, all the amazing things that are to come.

The publisher, Academy Chicago Publishers, generously sent me a copy of The Sum of His Syndromes for review.
"The Sum of His Syndromes" is a wry, odd, idiosyncratic book. A collage of notes written in a sixth-floor men's room, it is the story of a dissatisfied, slightly disturbed young man named David who has found himself at a personal and professional crossroads. He has a job he hates, but cannot leave, and a girl he loves, but cannot fully understand. With help from his friend, Peter, and his therapist, the irrepressible Dr. Costa, he struggles to make sense of his complicated young life. A fractured, fragmented, unconventional narrative, "Syndromes" offers a comic look at office angst, contemporary psychiatric practice and romantic uncertainty. A conglomeration of thoughts, observations, commentary, overheard conversations and cameo appearances, its story - David and Kate's story emerges surreptitiously from this innovative presentation of a confused and chaotic time.

Markafoni, one of the first private shopping services in Turkey, has shared some data regarding the first six months of this year, following the big investment it got. Markafoni has grown by 300 percent in the first six months of 2011 and the number of its monthly visitors has reached 12 million.
Markafoni offers textile, shoes, bags, accessories; cosmetics and child products mostly on its website, and the data it has shared are of considerable importance, regarding the size of its target audience. The service has 3.5 million members, which makes half of the Turkish etrading users that are estimated to be 5-6 million. 70 percent of its members are female, while 30 percent are male. 60 percent of Markafoni members age between 25-35 and 60 percent of its members live in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.
The İstanbul-based company also gives information on its promotions and offers, while the number of its promotions reaches 500 each month. 1 percent of its visitors visit the website using its mobile pages, and there is an average of 50 orders placed a day through Markafoni's mobile pages. Markafoni's application on Ovi Store is used by 10 thousand people, and Markafoni also has applications for iPhone and Android.
Detailed statistics of visitors reveal that one visitor spends an average of 8 minutes on Markafoni's website per each visit and browses two products each day and five each month on average. As a result of these visits, one item is sold every 10 minutes on Markafoni. A total of 200,000 product pages have been viewed for 17,500,000 times in the last six months.
Markafoni has also shared data on search engine statistics, which show that the word 'markafoni' is searched about 2 million times a month and 22 million times a year on Google.
The number of fans Markafoni has got on Facebook is 380 thousand. Markafoni Blog, which went online in May 2010, attracts 20 thousand visitors each month. There are more than 1000 posts on the blog with content focusing on fashion.
Markafoni Founder and CEO Sina Afra, who is also one of the Webrazzi Summit speakers, says that this growth will be a permanent one and that the company is planning to make investments both nationally and internationally. While the company has started voucher sales with Markafoni City, and has focused on child products as a 3rd category, I believe it is a nice example of how a start-up in its own operating field should grow and mature.

Please only take food or drink from the fridge if you bought it.
The number of complaints about food being stolen from the pantry refrigerators has skyrocketted this term. I find it quite extraordinary and most disappointing that adults at some of the best higher education institutions in the world engage in such petty theft.
Most of us who live here in Hall would not dream of stealing food from someone else. Yet it seems there is a very small minority of inconsiderate, dishonest, self-centred delinquents who have no qualms about engaging in theft from their neighbours and supposed friends. It really is extremely sad. This behaviour has no place in our Hall community.
I want to express my absolute condemnation of this selfish behaviour, and my sympathy with anyone whose things have been stolen. I am open to suggestions as to ways in which we can combat this pernicious behaviour - firstname.lastname@example.com.

The following post is about the ongoing abortion debate and sex ed. Proceed with caution.
I was trolling Twitter yesterday, looking for links to click on because that's how I roll, and I saw this hashtag:
Which was, several tweets later, followed by this one:
Then Emmie Mears tweeted this article at me. After I managed to pop my eyes back into their sockets, I sighed. Because apparently this is still a thing. Politicians trying to legislate a woman's body.
Um, hello? *knocks on politician's head* It's my body. It should be my choice.
Emmie had an excellent point:
"Abortion is a symptom, not the source problem."
Family planning organizations and pro-choice groups have pointed out that access to birth control plays a large part in preventing the need for an abortion in the first place. But I found a statistic that set off an alarm bell in my brain. According to Abort73, in 2009 54% of women reported having an abortion despite using birth control. Of that 54%, 76% of pill users and 49% of condom users reported they didn't use the chosen method of birth control consistently.
Guys, the thing about birth control is it's not going to work if you don't use it properly. Which leads me back to Emmie's point. The source problem to me here isn't just righteous men thinking they control a woman's body (pretty sure we left that behind centuries ago. Or do they think because of the recent surge in D/s erotica that women are now okay with men controlling their reproductive choices?). There's a distinct lack of education around birth control and sexual education. Not just for women, but for men. How many of those women are with men who could give two shits about whether the birth control's working properly? They're not the ones who have to deal with the pregnancy and the decision to go through with it or terminate it.
Dan Savage comments on sex education in his most recent book American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics. "Sex Dread" covers the deficiencies in abstinence-only sex ed programs and the so-called "comprehensive" programs offered in high school today. What both types of programs have in common? They leave students with a feeling like they're preparing for a disaster. Not sex.
If they're lucky, the course will cover not only reproductive biology, but STI's and various methods of contraception. But Savage points out they're failing to cover one huge component: sexual pleasure and where and how to deal with sexual desire.
Let's face it. America is a country of fucking prudes. We titter behind our hands when someone mentions boobies or penises (despite what Sex and the City might say). We're relieved we can read our "naughty" books on e-readers so those embarrassing covers aren't on display for all to see. We do it behind closed doors (I firmly believe this is appropriate) and we don't talk about it (here's the inappropriate part – we should be talking about sex). And of course there's the male and female stereotypes: men are confident about their prowess between the sheets and should they choose to go looking for it, and looking for it frequently and with multiple partners, this is okay. Women who are confident in their ability to blow a man's mind and do it often and with multiple partners are sluts, whores, terrible role models, bad influences, and occasionally home-wreckers.
I went on a date (a single date) with a guy who pointed out that if foreplay had been taught in sex ed, there'd be a lot fewer teenagers having sex. According to him, he and his high school girlfriend waited a year to actually have sex because they fooled around, spent time learning about all the other ways they could please the other. While we never went out again, that conversation has stuck with me for years. It's an excellent idea. It'll never fly in schools, thanks to the aforementioned prudish nature of the citizens of this fine country.
Look, I'm not saying that foreplay should suddenly be included in sex ed curriculum. But as Savage points out, kids aren't being taught about the emotional and mental repercussions of having sex, and that's just wrong. They're getting the information from other sources – friends, the internet, magazines, rumors and innuendo. They're not learning that most sex is recreational and is all about feeling good. They're not learning that there are many, many ways to give and receive pleasure, and not all of them involve penetration. So if they're told they should for fuck's sake use a condom, they do (sometimes) but there's no dialogue about what happens emotionally if they don't.
With the way our sex ed programs are now, it doesn't surprise me that the US has the highest rate of teen pregnancies amongst developed nations. And, logically, I'd expect that as those teens mature, they're still not learning from their mistakes. Wait. That's not always the case. I do believe that it's possible for two people to be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready to fuck, and still not be prepared to handle a negative outcome. Sex is a powerful force. It can heighten emotions in the moment that may not be there when your hormones calm. Birth control packaging does come with a warning that it's not a fail safe. There are instances where that happens, resulting in an unwanted pregnancy, and one or both parties, for one reason or another, is not prepared, capable, or even want to handle it. By making abortions more and more difficult to obtain, sex becomes a punishment, rather than a reward. We start avoiding it because on that off off chance something bad might happen, our ability to fix the problem in the manner we'd like isn't an option.
At the end of the day, it comes down to choice. Politics and religion have been at odds in this country for quite some time, and the abortion debate is an outgrowth of that problem. Many pro-lifers are religious. Many pro-choicers are pinko-liberal commies. But just like I ask that you don't force your religious views on me (and indeed, this country says you can't, though that sure as fuck doesn't stop people from doing it anyway) I ask that you don't force your stance on abortion on me.
It's a choice I hope I'm never in a position to make. I can't imagine what goes through a woman's head as she walks through that door to her appointment. Is she blaming herself? Is she blaming the man? Is there no blame? Regret? Shame? A sense of security in knowing she's doing the right thing for her?
Sometimes I wish the universe could be flipped on its ear. In this alternate reality, men would have deal with this. They'd be the ones getting pregnant, forced to make a decision they may not have been prepared for. They'd be the ones walking past protesters with grotesque signs. They'd be the ones called sluts, or sinners, or whores.
But they're not. And I think until they're put in a position where they have to make that choice, they need to stop trying to take it away from us.

I read in a blog the other day this article comparing the Azkals and the Dragon Warriors or our Philippine Dragon Boat Team. The writer was saying that the Azkals were getting much overflowing support because they were all good looking and stuff while the Dragon Warriors were like...well....
You know what that is.
BUT! I beg to disagree. Though, I know that, yeah, the Dragon Warriors aren't getting that much support and appreciation as the Azkals but I really do think that these guys are....
BEYOND HOT! Just look at their ripped bodies. SPARTANS?! Teehee!
They look so Pinoy, don't they? They're like...all so MACHO. Ahihihi!
I love their chest. I love their abs. I love their biceps.
And I love the honor and recognition they've given to our country. I'm so proud of these guys. They deserve our support. And...gosh....those three guys on the right are hot. Teehee! Sweaty much....SEXY!
Let's all support the Dragon Warriors, our very own Philippine Dragon Boat Team!
♥ Mwah! ♥

Android 3.2Hotmail blocks common passwords like 12345, iUsers gives jailbroken iPad owners multiple user profiles, and Android 3.2 gets confirmed for tablets.
It's Monday, July 18th 2011. I'm Wilson Tang on CNet.com and it's time to get Loaded. Android 3.2 has been eagerly awaited by many tablet owners and now we have some confirmations. Motorola has confirmed that its Xoom tablet will be getting Android 3.2. The new software brings optimization for a wide variety of screens, a new fill screen mode, the ability to load media files from SD cards and extended screen support APIs. Google has decided to remove its driving time in traffic estimates for Google Maps. Yes, because it's- were never too accurate to begin with but the company has decided to come up with a more accurate, better solution rather than give you inaccurate driving estimates. Some iPad owners have been clamoring for Apple to offer multiple user profiles on its popular iPad tablet. Now, users with jail broken iPads will be able to add the capability by installing iUser software from the [unk] store. iUsers add a user log in [unk] to iPad's lock screen and the software will split the application and preferences between users on the same iPad so user with Angry Birds on one profile won't see it in another. Neither will they see user preferences or e-mails. Microsoft may have accidentally unveiled a social network project. Some users accidentally discovered that when visiting SOCL.com which is owned by Microsoft. They discovered the beginnings of a social networking utility. Users could log in via Twitter and Facebook and the authorization pages suggest that users could update and post to their profiles. For now, that's about all we know. Microsoft quickly replaced the homepage after it was prematurely unveiled. Finally, Microsoft is also unveiling some new security changes to its hotmail systems. Users will no long be able to use common passwords like 12345 or password now in signing up for a hotmail account. Hotmail will now block comment passwords which could easily be compromised by dictionary text. Other popular passwords will be blocked like I Love Cats and Go Giants. The password's feature will roll out soon. Those are headlines for today. I'm Wilson Tang for CNet.com and you've just been loaded.

One of the exciting things about living in these times is the lightning-fast pace of change. Digital disruption can make some people uneasy, but for me, the overwhelming sense of possibilities and opportunities transcends all else.
Every year those opportunities—and the innovations that make them possible—can be astonishing. And if there's one thing I can predict with authority about 2017, it will surprise us. Some technology, app, use case, business model, innovation, or business transition will show up out of the blue and turn an industry—or two, or three–on its head.

You would not believe the similarities between writing and baking!
Check the following out below:
- Some bakers plan their cake making projects with military precision. They stick rigidly to the recipe and put in hours of ingredient preparation. Whilst others stare at the food cupboard, listen to the gurgle of their gut and chuck in any ingredient that takes their fancy. This is just like the writing world; some writers plan their stories in great detail, weave intricate plot threads and write pages of detailed notes. Whilst others stare at a crack in the wall, drink some strong coffee and then start writing about whatever pops into their head.
- Some bakers will get frustrated during the baking process; their cake won't rise properly or some of their ingredients might curdle at the wrong moment. These bakers are left either staring blankly into the oven window or collapse in a teary heap on the kitchen floor. Some writers get frustrated during the writing process as plots don't go to plan and characters fail to come to life. These writers are left staring blankly at their draft or sat in a tear-stained heap on the floor.
- Some bakers like to boast about their cake creations and some writers like to shout about their literary masterpieces.
- It is amazing what pretty and colourful icing can hide in the baking world. It is surprising what attractive and fancy book covers can hide in the literary world.
- Bakers can spend hours working on a cake and frustratingly the only feedback they will get from a taster is 'thanks!'. Writers face a similar problem; they can spend days, weeks, months or years on a draft and frustratingly the only feedback they will get from a reader is 'it was alright!'
- Bakers can put together their cake batter, pour it into the cake tin and realise, as they are putting it in the oven, that they are missing one key ingredient. Writers can relate to this as they will hammer out 70k+ words and just as they are preparing to send it off for submission realise that they have missed out one vital part of their plot.
- Some bakers will spend more time looking for cake making inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram than they do on baking. Some writers will spend more time looking for writing inspiration on Pinterest and twitter than they do on writing.
- There are some bakers who must have 'baking Jedi skills' as they produce the most amazing cakes rendering their tasters and other bakers speechless. There are some writers who must have 'writing Jedi skills' as they produce wonderful stories leaving their readers and other writers lost for words.
- Baking takes years of practice and experience. So does writing!
- Bakers can experience emotional highs and lows with their passion; some days they feel like a domestic goddess by baking delicious and wonderful plates of cakes. Other days they hate baking so much they turn out a rack of miserable looking buns and tearfully shove them in the bin…still warm. Writers can relate to changing emotional states. Some days a writer can feel like the next J.K. Rowling with their literary creation and some days they will hate the sight of their draft so much they will also tearfully shove it in the bin…still warm!
Have a wonderful day!

A mawkish British sex comedy, without much sex but lots of bums and 'wobbly bits' makes for a painful exercise in sexual expression. Judith (Tessa Peake-Jones of Only Fools and Horses fame) is concerned that her daughter has joined a cult, only to discover that she has joined a commune in which all conflict is resolved through having sex, mimicking the lifestyle of the Bonobo monkey. The commune is overseen by Anita (Josie Lawrence), whose loose ideas of sexual expression eventually rub off on Judith who mopishly ponders her own sexuality. Dialogue is delivered with the authenticity of Radio 4 drama and the comedy falls just as placid. Attending a public screening, it quickly became apparent that everyone in the audience knew each other and they were all involved in the film. The audience laughed a lot.

How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet
I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but you would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this:
1) everything that's already in the world when you are born is just normal;
2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
3) anything that gets invented after youÂre thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it's been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.
Because the Internet is so new we still don't really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type of publishing or broadcasting, because that is what we are used to.
Another problem with the net is that it's still technology, and technology, as the computer scientist Bran Ferren memorably defined it, is stuff that doesn't work yet. We no longer think of chairs as technology, we just think of them as chairs. But there was a time when we hadn't worked out how many legs chairs should have, how tall they should be, and they would often "crash" when we tried to use them. Before long, computers will be as trivial and plentiful as chairs (and a couple of decades or so after that, as sheets of paper or grains of sand) and we will cease to be aware of the things.

Rich Internet Application Framework from Backbase
They use AJAX patterns heavily and leverage the browser XML namespace support.
Demos -
Shoping - New way to shop
Portal - A new way to do responsive Portlets based U/I
Google : Totally new way to experience search using Google API and using drag & drop to bookmark
- Defining the layout (panels, windows and decks)
- Styling the interface (themes and skins)
- Creating user interface controls (menus, tabs, trees, sliders, etc.)
- Adding behaviors (display, hide, loading data, animations, etc.)
- Including form functionality (conditional forms, input validation)
Extending the namespace support to clean up the page layout code seems to be in vogue. Another project Novell Xforms is a cute project leveraging that for xform implementation.
Years ago I was part of the team that did the Xform 1.0 implementation that we contributed to IBM Alphaworks site It formed the basis for some of the IBM products that are coming out with revised implementation. Given a second chance we would love to go back and redo it using namespaces and not IE Mime handler.

WebSphere Browser Framework and Faces Client
A key Browser Framework component is its structured data model that supports dynamic data manipulation -- meaning that data could be lately bounded and can be manipulated on the client, either by the user or through a Web service or other Web-based update mechanisms, without a page-refresh. We had a Eclipse Modelling Framework EMF Core classes (http://www.eclipse.org/emf) based implementation. The BF framework also provides rich user interface controls that were tied to JSF based emitters -Twisty, TreeView, DataGrid, ListView, TabbedPanel, DatePicker, GraphDraw, and Dialog.
Some of the design aspects we talked about in our 2004 paper in IBM Systems Journal
Here is an image of some of the controls and a portal app -
TIBCO General Interface (RIA)
Interface, a JavaScript/DHTML framework for building Internet Apps.

The tool is built using a javascript based toolkit. Very cool and looks very detailed. Waiting to play with it once it is out.

The Great Sandwich Romance
Nosh Delicatessen brings the East Coast to San Diego.BY WHITNEY BUTLER After a career in the city that put delis like Carnegie and Katz on the culinary map, the late James Beard—food writer and respected chef—wisely characterized our relationship to the sandwich: "Too few people understand a really good sandwich." Many food writers have postulated that the American sandwich is one of the greatest romances known to our modern taste buds. From bread to spread, toppings and beyond, the cold cuts of yore have met insatiable appetites with innovation and grand portions. But in our world of one-lunch stands, where can true sandwich romance be found? The answer is the breezy community of Encinitas, where Nosh Delicatessen opened in September with the tenacity one might expect from a classically inspired deli. The rules are simple: It's all about the meat. On the west wall of the eatery, a large black-and-white mural of the New York skyline gestures to a past familiar and asks that age-old question: What's for lunch?
