Post subject: All that is Gold Event Thanks!
(From my FB Page for those who shun it)
Going to post this here as well as the forum. I'm a great believer in keeping the forum alive to show it's an active game when newbies look at the website, and also I comment on people I don't have as friends on FB so they can see it as well. And I'm old. Why isn't everything on AOL? WAH!
Thank you to Team Pees In A Group (Karen, Katie, Helene): COME AT ME BRO!
Thanks to Tim for driving, unpacking, driving, packing, driving, and driving. He is a God, all worship him, as we wouldn't have been able to come without him.
Thanks to Karen, for before event girlie night, Tesco, KFC, comical girlie moments, and for being you. You looked amazing out on the field.
Thank you to all the crew, old and new. I see some rising stars, and you looked like you had amazing fun.
Thank you to the refs. You are all so cool. When I grow up, I want to be just like you! And I ❤ you Iszy! Grow a good baby hooman!
+ Thursday night hardcore. Many things were said, I can't remember a single darned thing of them, but it lasted until about 1, so was amazing.
+ Extra large gazebo of win. I am sad we don't have the space in the car to make it the true home I envision, but I have to realise my limits, and it's a great place for us.
+ Jamie. I just can't even with words. You took us in, and put up with us, and let us be who we are without a word of complaint. You are the best leader, and friend, and made of all things crazy. I ❤ you. Thank you for being Caffery, and also for letting me have Mortis fun (which was really special to me). REALLY looking forwards to weeklong.
+ Helene. Again, words, lacking. I think you know how much I ❤ you, and it was great to see you taking to combat (was her first time in combat, yo!). And screw you for going to bed and waking up in the morning and still looking perfect. ANGEL BRA! PEOPLE NEED TO BUY HER CANDLES, SRSLY THEY SMELL AMAZING! ALSO EAT HER CAKES!
+ Katie. I always miss you so much, so time with you is extra special. You are our third cog in the triplet of girls gone crazy. Thank you for always having my back, threatening to kill anyone who upsets me (in increasingly violent ways), and just being you. FWOOOM FWOOOSH PIZZAZ! (You,also bring Jak, and he is okay I guess
+ Jeff, from years to current day, you are my crazy rock, the stability in the BUT WHYYYYY. So many things, you know them and why. ❤
+ Peter. My baby boy! Once more you see sense in my thoughts and talk me out of stupidity. Thank you for long talks, and Hussain. I'm so excited about our future endeavours with you and the group. And thank you for never thinking I take up too much of your time.
+ Melanie. Thank you for a retreat, and chats, and humour, and being you. It always reassures me I have a safe haven to hide in when you are around. I loved your old woman, and how she put up with me asking if she lived in a shoe, boot, cupboard, gingerbread house, if she had a dog, or swallowed a fly, or wanted to put us in an oven. I love roleplaying with you! I especially loved the look you gave me when I asked your name, whilst you were holding a string of pearls. I'm dumb, I know this
+ Team 'What is the vampire up to why are we in a dark gazebo OMG IS SHE GOING TO EAT US' (Dominic, Brian, Miranda (can never remember your FB please someone tag). We made great strides in my personal plot. Thank you so so much for the help. Thank you thank you.
+ Dominic, from letters, to chats, and talks that end up being four hours long, to being you and scaring Helene (curse the wind and rain that foiled an awesome plan). You understand Lorna speak and translate it into posh. Thank you so much. I hope you know how much I enjoy your company.
+ Colin. More and more I love being around your NPCs. Was great to see the Ragdoll again after so many years, and to allow me to use the phrase 'he is in a perpetual state of 'meh''. Also for just taking it when I took your arm and answered the 'Im sorry, I don't remember you..' with 'We used to be good friends. Good good friends' And nothing more. Also, for wriggling your fingers into Shang plot, I do love your evil mind.
+ Adam. Don't ever stop having crazy ideas. And thank you for the new (cheaper) contract. And other stuff I can't say here.
+ Kieran. So you're a cursed turning into a troll not a tree need to find the heart of a woman who is a tree whilst carrying (redacted) around? Well, faerie tales done fucked you up! (And Shang sent the missive to Fire for you. High possibility of iminient arrival. He said he got your back, bro).
+ Lets go into the tavern, Shang said, it will be fun, Shang said. (Four hours later involving a bargain, Ragdoll, hunter, punching, Mortis, skulls, screaming). Whelp, never trusting Shang again.
+ Looking after McUens is like herding cats. I have preternatural speed and they still managed to f'king get away!
+ Caffery, I will send you my invoice. McUen wrangling is not cheap.
+ You want children? I can get children. Orphans? Loads of them. After I've dealt with their parents. How many do you want?
+ Did you want (redacted) here? I can get her here. Drug, drag, deposit. Doesn't cost extra.
+ So what are your skills? I blow shit up. Anything else? Well, I have a sword...
+ There once was this time that Jeff was running naked...
+ Want a cake? No thanks. Brownie? No really, no thank you. Cookie? Seriously, no- wait, cookie? I will have a cookie..
+ Well your mother isn't here is she? Look I'm trying my best here!
More will come later. Cats are happening. If I missed you off, I ❤ you.

Well the event was two weeks ago and I still haven't got round to posting. Despite having one character end up with angst and the other being mullered, I really enjoyed the event! Thank you all!
+++ Special thanks to all the crew and anyone who convinced and/or assisted in the crew being there! I cannot stress enough how satisfying it was bringing out Kaine's new rifle Saturday morning and just dropping people! I only wish I was better at remembering names. Was good to see everyone get stuck into things.
+ The Faerie Championships. I know it wasn't everyone's favourite thing but I thought it was fun and a nice change of pace.
+ Realising that I'd been talking for the best part of an hour about the Bloodlines as Kaine and had gathered a small crowd of people!
+ Helene, you know what you did! Plus y'know, got to keep you on your toes
. Also, thank you for all the baking! I ate far more than I should've...
+ Lorna, glad I could help with plot and play interpreter, even if I ended up not-doing-the-thing-I-said-I-wouldn't-do-but-doing-something-fairly-similar-anyway! Also for kit fixing and grapes
+/- Rain. But at least things were dry when we packed up.
- Gun malfunctions. It was a prototype so I knew the risks, improvements will be made.
- Cold.

Post subject: Epic event (late reply)
What a fabulous event, thank you all. I'm sorry I had to leave early without saying good bye but I was working. So many amazing moments to recap that I'm sure I'll miss a few, I'll edit as I remember.
Firstly thank you to Lorna, the privateer crew, Adam and Dan (can't tag) for feeding me and letting me use your kettles so I could have cups of tea. Thank you to Helene for lending me a chair, sorry I broke it, let me know when you get a new one, I'll reimburse you. Thank you to Stephen for helping me pack up my stuff so I could get on my way asap, super helped. Thank you to Rob for lending me the shield, said item is now a must have for Edi. Thanks to Kieran for the gunpowder pouch, I've already got plans for my own, it was most effective against those twitches.
I want to say how awesome all the crew were, especially the new folks, you were fab and you threw yourselves in with some serious gusto. That kind of enthusiasm really makes my event and really helps to give the feeling of proper NPCs and enemies. Cheers for letting me get the hang on my shield before properly going at me. I had epic fun with you all, hope you'll all come back.
Memorable moments - rather long sorry, not sorry:
*Being complimented on my new attire, felt a million dollars thanks Lorna.
*Surprising the Refs and players when Stephen and I decided to take our 4/5 years worth of feeling up a level. I know we were being subtle but I didn't realise just how subtle we had managed to be. Score one for hiding from our respective enemies. Hope no one felt like we had stolen their evening on Saturday and thank you to everyone for making it the best impromptu unplanned hand fasting ever. Oddly I even enjoyed it being interrupted by enemies. It was fun doing laps around the bar trying to don armour in a dress and dodge being attacked because my sword was on the other end of said bar.
*thanks Richard for letting me borrow a crew dress. Also thanks to Marcus for encouraging me to wear one, it was a worthy occasion.
*Justin and Evan I enjoyed our conversations, theological debates and negotiations. Must do more. Christopher, Dashals help was greatly appreciated cheers. It would seem that even as a Paladin I can not help by try and mediate, negotiate and restore order where there is discord.
*i don't know your name but whom ever plays the thunders owl, I enjoyed our cultural exchanges, you intrigue Edi much, your thirst for knowledge puts a smile on her face.
*the hunter.... dude that guy was hard to trap. Scary as hell and so very interested in Caffrey..... this was not allowed of course.
*Rees (Adam pass on please) I love Sigvar, dude you rock and fighting with you is so fun. Can't wait to do it as a Munin, need to friend you so we can chat.
*Tarin dying (or at least I thought he was) actually managed to cry on que which helped me stay in the moment. Screaming at poor exhausted ritualises to open the blood ward was great, threatening them because I was too blind with panic to hear their words was odd but also fun. Seeing a whole new side of sister Elainer was unexpected but my lips are sealed IC Lucy, promise. I was not entirely sure who side I should have been on when you threatened Tarin though.
*being so very tempted by Jeff's character when he offered my anything I wanted. I think if there hadn't been fighting to focus on I might have caved (I would have asked for Myka and Riaya back btw)
*Being mildly disturbed when Christopher spoke to me about devices and certain powerful artefacts..... think my face was twitching.
*suddenly realising that I've become some weird collector of documents in their original form. I think I'm going to create a book for the wonders so we have a sort of chronicle of our exploits and adventures, annotated with an appropriate quote and maybe the odd personal thought on it all.
Would people be happy to contribute to it when they create team rituals and the like so future wanderers can reference it when saving the world? It would be purely an IC thing and if people wanted to put their thoughts in it, that would be great.
*standing outside the tavern feeling very confused when watching Jake (Graham) chuck every weapon and shield out the door muttering to himself.
*being scared nearly to peeing point by Pete when I was humming to myself in the dark so didn't hear him when he came up behind me out of the blue to offer me a drink of water. Honestly dude that was a genuine scream but in hindsight it was funny as hell.
There is probably much more but like I said, I'll edit and add as I remember.

Mitt Romney did not just lose the debate on Tuesday night. He handed the Internet ammunition to memorably mock him for several more news cycles. While candidates have always worried about gaffes, this year's nominees must navigate the first Meme Election.
Romney is particularly vulnerable because his malapropisms sound more awkward than stupid. Take the instantly infamous binder discussion at the second debate.
Asked about "pay equity for women," Romney said that women's groups brought him "binders full of women" to help identify candidates for his cabinet. The Internet went nuts.
People seized on the comment immediately—and it did not simply "go viral." When 70 million people have already watched something happen live, you can't just share a clip of the moment. Instead, Romney's phrasing sparked an explosion of what techies call voter-generated content.
Before the debate even ended, a flurry of humorous and scathing binder websites, Twitter accounts, and Facebook groups cropped up online. On the photo-blogging site Tumblr, an irreverent string of pictures remixed the literal image of women, stuffed into binders, with other pop cultural memes—from Dirty Dancing ("No one puts baby in a binder") to the cartoon character Dora The Explorer ("Women for Self-Deportation"). The Tumblr site curating the images was created by Veronica De Souza, a self-described "social media pro" in Brooklyn who says she is looking for work.
All that creative, clickable content provides another way for regular people to define the debate's big moments, competing with a role once reserved to the professional press.
"The Internet doesn't always choose the same moments to focus on as the political press, but binders full of women has almost unlimited meme potential," says Ben Smith, a seasoned political journalist who is editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, a news and social media site that is ground zero for memes. "That's much less predictable than the old-fashioned gaffe cycle, though," Smith told The Nation, so "there's no reason Republicans can't remix the remixes."

Pedestrian Safety When the Days Get Shorter
The months of October, November and December are the scariest time of the year for pedestrians in Montgomery County because pedestrian collisions have typically spiked during these months by nearly 40 percent. With the end of daylight savings time on November 3, less daylight hours contribute to the problem. According to federal safety officials, 70 percent of pedestrian fatalities happen during the night time hours.
"Montgomery County is committed to pedestrian safety, and over the past few years, we have engaged in an aggressive program to reduce collisions through engineering efforts and enhanced enforcement and education," said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. "But, we cannot do it all alone. We need drivers to slow down, pay attention and look out for pedestrians. We need pedestrians to be vigilant, on guard and undistracted. We need everyone to be engaged to make sure that crossing the street is not a death defying act."
This week, the regional Street Smart Campaign launched its fall campaign to raise awareness in drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. Last year in the Washington region, 72 pedestrians and bicyclists died in traffic collisions. Montgomery County averages more than 400 pedestrian collisions a year.
In 2007, Leggett introduced an aggressive pedestrian safety initiative that is investing millions of dollars in safety improvements – and these improvements are making a difference. The County is also working in partnership with the Maryland State Highway Administration to address collisions on State roads (roads in the County that are numbered), which are the busiest corridors in the County.
Drivers are urged to help improve pedestrian safety and keep in mind the following:
• Pedestrians can be nearly invisible in the dark and in bad weather.
• Pedestrians may be unpredictable. Be aware and be prepared to stop.
• Slow down and obey the posted speed limits.
• Don't drive distracted – when in the car, focus only on driving.
• Be patient, especially when young children, seniors or persons with disabilities are present.
Pedestrians are urged to do their part by practicing the following safety tips:
• Remain vigilant when crossing the street.
• Cross the street at signals, marked crosswalks and intersections. Don't step off the curb without looking left, right and then left again.
• Be alert for drivers who aren't paying attention. Doing everything right – crossing with a walk signal and in the crosswalk – is not enough to guarantee safety.
• Don't count on drivers to see you or react in time.
• Get off the cell phone and stop texting – don't walk when distracted.
• Stay visible after dark and in bad weather.

The third in an informal series of books about parallel processing for Artificial Intelligence, this volume is based on the assumption that the computational demands of many AI tasks can be better served by parallel architectures than by the currently popular workstations. However, no assumption is made about the kind of parallelism to be used. Transputers, Connection Machines, farms of workstations, Cellular Neural Networks, Crays, and other hardware paradigms of parallelism are used by the authors of this collection. The papers arise from the areas of parallel knowledge representation, neural modeling, parallel non-monotonic reasoning, search and partitioning, constraint satisfaction, theorem proving, parallel decision trees, parallel programming languages and low-level computer vision. The final paper is an experience report about applications of massive parallelism which can be said to capture the spirit of a whole period of computing history. This volume provides the reader with a snapshot of the state of the art in Parallel Processing for Artificial Intelligence.Y. Lallement, T. Cornu, and S. Vialle.

Connecticut elected officials welcome Syrian (Muslim) refugees
Posted by Ann Corcoran on September 28, 2015
I was on the Lori on Liberty show from Connecticut yesterday, but hadn't seen the news that Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) is out stumping for more Syrians (mostly Muslims) to be resettled in Connecticut. Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat from the 5th District, is on board too. The governor, according to the Washington Times is warming to the idea.
Get ready Connecticut (where Yale has accepted a Saudi billionaire's gift to build an ISLAMIC LAW CENTER there).
From the Washington Times:
With heart-rending images of desperate migrants flooding into Europe, some have called on the U.S. to do more. President Obama recently issued an order allowing up to 10,000 refugees from Syria into the United States during the next fiscal year, but even that is not enough, said Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.
In addition to the humanitarian obligations, he said there are practical reasons for helping the refugees. "We're losing credibility (in the Middle East) if we sit on the sidelines," said Murphy, a Democratic freshman who recently visited refugee camps in Jordan.
We knew 2016 Presidential candidate Marco Rubio was using weasel-words on the Syrians, but here the Washington Times reports that he is on board to increase refugee numbers to America.
Several Republican presidential candidates, including Sens. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida, are also pressing for an increase in the number of refugees allowed into the U.S., as long as they are thoroughly vetted to determine that they are not part of a terrorist group.
The FBI testified in February that the Syrian refugees could NOT BE THOROUGHLY VETTED—where have those Senator been?
The Washington Times continues….
Murphy agreed, saying the U.S. should "spare no expense" in investigating the refugees to ensure they have no terrorist connections. But, he added, "just because a place like Syria is violent, that doesn't mean everyone who lives there is violent. We have a very sophisticated process for vetting refugees." [No we don't—ed]
Rep. Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat from the 5th District, last week signed onto a letter to President Obama urging additional aid for the refugees. She said she would welcome refugees that have been thoroughly vetted resettle in her district and her community. [Danbury, Litchfield, Waterbury etc.—ed]
Continue reading here.
Waterbury reminds me of 'Whoop-de-do' in Waterbury several years ago when the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants' subcontractor was exposed in a local paper for neglecting mostly Burmese refugees in their care. The US State Dept. at least temporarily shuttered the program there. It may be up and running now for all I know.
I just noticed in that 2008 'Whoop-de-do' post that refugees were receiving $850 per head upon arrival and the contractor was keeping half. Here we are 7 years later and the amount per refugee now stands at $1975 per refugee!
For more information, go here to see if your city has already gotten Syrian refugees. If so, you have been targeted for more.
Go here and see that Hartford's mayor is one of 18 to write to Obama telling him to admit not 10,000 Syrians this year, but 100,000!

[…] telling Obama to bring 100,000 Syrians here. The mayor of Hartford is one of the 18. Also, see this post from a week ago where other Connecticut elected officials were out stumping for Syrians. Any connection to all […]

I wanted to share facts with you. The refugee does not get the $1100 per family member. This money is used to pay rent, set up deposits and get them started. For a family of 3, the agencies have $ 3300 to spend. With an average rent of $700 ( 2 bedroom) in Clarkston( GAa(Atlanta),they can pay 4 months rent. That is why it is critical to find employment within 120 days. The match Grant program which I believe more than half are on,provides rent for 4 months or so and provides a monthly stipend. There is a limited number of dollars that each agency has for this program. By the way, TANF payments for a family of 3 in all states in less than 50% of poverty level-this is for everyone. In California maximum TANF was over $600/M in 2013 and in South Carolina as an example was $294/m So how do the really poor live? I am working with a Rohinga woman whose rent payment from IRC ran out. She is a widow with 2 children and has health issues and cannot work at this point. Individual Muslim community members and the local mosque are paying rent. She can probably only survive long term if she gets disability. Another widow from CAR whose husband was shot and killed in the civil war lives on $750 a month SS Disability as she suffers from a rare disease and cannot work except for some sewing.
I wanted to share the reality of being poor. This is not a refugee issue but a humanatarian issue for the American poor. We should be ashamed. For all of you who oppose big government, I do not see the private sector helping out. One person commented about helping poor Americans in Atlanta instead of refugees. The worse situation any poor American faces is far better than victims of war etc. As Americans we have freedoms and while people may be in poverty or temporarily homeless, it does not compare to a what a refugee faces emotionally and physically.I doubt that anything I say will make a difference unless u study the facts and put yourself in their position. I have said in the past that the program needs changes, but we need to deal with the situation at hand. We cannot 100% prevent terroism whether domestic or international, but Islamaphobia is not a rational response when the majority of folks are just trying to survive,

Would be astounding if not for the fact that the Sleeper Cells in local, state & fed govnts have been given their marching orders. Emboldened by Obama&Co with not that first individual thought of responsibility. Not to mention the no consequences for them personally. As usual money is the bottom line but there is that hairs rising on neck as to what We the People's consequences will be. The catastrophic events in Europe are being either ignored or spun into some kind of macabre fairy tale & at least 47% of Americans are burying their heads. This cannot be described, in a common sense world, as nothing else than an Invasion sponsored by the New World Order.

New developments:
In September 2014, the new Symfony intraocular lens was introduced. This promised good distance and intermediate vision (not reading) with far fewer problems with night vision, glare, haloes and starbursts. To date, I have implanted the lens in the eyes of about 20 patients. I am extremely happy with the results. Having stopped using all multifocal lenses because of their poor performance, I am now much confident of achieving excellent visual outcomes in my patients with this lens. For more click here.

Columbia Volleyball Club is a not‑for‑profit organization of volleyball enthusiasts including student athletes, coaches, referees, adult helpers and parents from more than 130 families. Participating student‑athletes are girls ages 10 to 18. While based in Howard County, Maryland, we typically have players from more than a dozen high schools and several middle and elementary schools in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland.
Columbia Volleyball Club was founded in 1985 with 20 players and a single coach. Fast forward 27 years, CVC now fields eleven teams with over 100 players, 25 coaches and several dozen actively involved parents. The Club and student‑athletes belong to and are sanctioned by Chesapeake Region Volleyball Association (CHRVA) which is one of 40 Regional Volleyball Associations (RVAs) of USA Volleyball (USAV), a national association.
The Club's mission for the older age groups is to improve the player's skills and knowledge of the game through competition that far surpasses the level of high school play in our area. The mission is also to instill values of team play, individual discipline and work habits which will serve them well in any future endeavor. For those student‑athletes who have the academic and volleyball skills, and the desire and dedication to play in college, the Club also assists & educates players seeking scholarship opportunities.
The Club's mission for the younger age groups is developmentally based. This mission is to teach fundamental volleyball skills, to encourage interest and enthusiasm for the sport, and to instill values of individual discipline and team play.

The other day I was flipping through a travel magazine and an article jumped out at me, probably because I saw "Disney World" in big bold letters, and I love everything Disney!!
The article brought up a recent scam happening in Orlando. Apparently identity thieves have been disguising themselves as pizza parlors and have been handing out flyers to guests at Disney World, some going so far as to slip their flyers under guests' doors in Disney resorts. Many people have fallen victim to these scams, while looking for a late night snack or perhaps trying to find something quick and kid friendly on family vacations. Ordering pizza from these places will really make you pay.
Disney, upon discovering what was happening, has been very supportive of a law cracking down on people who are allowed to hand out flyers around the amusement parks. However, police have commented that the problem still persists. So, word to the wise, if you're craving anything from a flyer (or anything at all) you may want to ask the front desk for recommendations!

Quick Reference
(Strauss: Die ägyptische Helena). Sop. An enchantress who lives in a palace on an island in the Mediterranean, where she is served by a group of Elves. Her lover, Poseidon, is away and she is missing him. Her Omniscient Seashell (the Mussel) tells her that in a ship nearby a man (Menelaus) is about to kill his beautiful wife (Helen of Troy). Aithra summons up a storm and the ship is wrecked, Menelaus and Helen arriving at her palace. Menelaus is still determined to kill Helen, having already killed Paris who seduced her. She asks Aithra for help. Aithra gives her some lotus‐juice to give to Menelaus to make him forget the past. Aithra transports them to a bedroom. However, now Menelaus does not remember Helen, whom he thinks he has killed, and assumes this is some other woman. Aithra commands the desert chieftain Altair and his son Da‐ud to come to her palace, and they both fall in love with Helen. On a hunt, Menelaus kills Da‐ud. Aithra gives Helen an antidote to the lotus‐juice and she gives this to Menelaus, who now recognizes his beautiful wife. Arias: Das Mahl ist gerichtet ('The meal is prepared'); Ihr grünen Augen ('Your green eyes'). Created (1928) by Maria Rajdl. The first Vienna Aithra was Margit Angerer and the Munich creator was Hildegard Ranczak. In the 1997 British première by Garsington Opera, Oxfordshire, this strange character was sung by Helen Field.

Baby food brands wanted by a leading private distribution enterprise
A Wuhan-based leading distribution enterprise is seeking UK brands of baby foods including milk powder.
The request comes from a leading public listed company that claims to be the largest private pharmaceutical distribution enterprise in China.
Its work as a distributor includes acting as a wholesale and retail partner for foreign brands, as well as providing information, logistics and other value-added services to chosen foreign brands.
Headquartered in Wuhan, with multiple companies across China, it has a sound network of distribution channels covering mainland China and has successfully worked with several key international brands in the baby food sector.
It can do both offline and online business, as it has both B2B and B2C capabilities, and has its own duty-free warehouse.
It is seeking cooperation opportunities with internationally well-known brands, especially brands that are already well recognised by Chinese consumers.

1 month left until I return to work. 1 month until I can no longer be with my baby boy 24/7. In ways I am joyful that I will be back to work, having a daily purpose but in other ways I am sad.
I one day dreamed that I would become as stay at home mother. There is no doubt that I could do it. I would just need to find other things to do all day. I am an introvert but even an introvert needs to get out and about. I would need a routine, which is doable. But I also love going to work 5 days a week! All my friends are at work so I can do my job and be sociable. I can be a part of the world instead of becoming a hermit! And the same with my children! I would rather my child and future children be at a daycare/babysitter that has other children around. Having other children around will help with their social skills and to be outgoing with other people.
So what shall I do to prepare to go back to work? I already have a pumping schedule down to where I will only have to pump once while at work. I have a babysitter already lined up for during the week, my family will watch him on the weekends I work. But the problems that I foresee are making dinner, doing laundry, cleaning house, and keeping up on the dishes.
We have gotten a dishwasher so some, not all, dishes will be able to be done there. But if I want to keep my kitchen in order I need to wash what little dishes I make in the evening. Shouldn't be too hard. Keeping up on laundry shouldn't be too hard. But I also hate hanging and folding laundry, even if it is easy. Every time I let my clean laundry pile up I have tons of laundry to hang and fold. And every time I wonder why I wait until then to do it because it is easy and goes by so quickly. Growing up my mother would make us morning routine lists and we would have to make sure everything was checked off and done before school. If it wasn't done there would be a punishment. So I am going to make daily to do lists to keep up on laundry and cleaning house. So then I'm not doing so many chores on one given day of the week. I am doing 1 or 2 chores daily.
As for making dinner. I plan on making monthly meal plans where I can make and freeze them ahead of time. From lasagnas, enchiladas, chili, soups, and smoothies. I love to cook! But if I could have just part of the cooking done like marinated meat or all the ingredients in a bag that need thrown in the crock pot or a tin pan that just needs put in the oven! Anything will help me be the wife I know I can be and the mother I want to be! I want to take care of my home as well as enjoy my family!
It's going to take some work but I am hoping to succeed!

McAfee released the results of its "Mobile Security: McAfee Consumer Trends Report," documenting sophisticated and risky applications that pose potential threats to users and organizations. The report identifies a new wave of techniques hackers use to steal digital identities, commit financial fraud and invade users' privacy on mobile devices.
Mobile platforms have become increasingly attractive to cybercriminals as more people rely on smartphones and tablets, McAfee notes. With the mobile space becoming a more enticing platform for online crime, the complexity and volume of threats aimed at mobile users will continue to increase, the company says.
Using its global threat intelligence network, McAfee Labs analyzed mobile security data from the last three quarters and identified in the report several threats as being the most severe. These include risky applications that contain malware and suspicious URLs; the use of black market products such as botnet clients, downloaders and rootkits to commit fraud, spam distribution and data theft; "drive-by downloads," in which a user is fooled into downloading an application without knowing it; and abuse of near field communication to quickly spread malware through a group of mobile device users for the purposes of digital theft.
"Despite elevated [user] awareness of threats on mobile platforms, there is still a significant knowledge gap surrounding how and when devices become infected and the level of potential damage," Luis Blando, vice president of mobile product development at McAfee, said in a statement. "Cybercriminals are exhibiting greater levels of determination and sophistication, leading to more destructive, multifaceted hacks that are harder to spot and thus warrant a greater degree of security and vigilance."

Lemon Battery II
Next Sci
your results
Sent in by:
Michelle of PA, Cassandra of WA, Christina of Ontario, Canada and Natalie
Electricity: charge it and pass it on!
Materials Needed
different fruits and veggies, including a lemon
2 pennies
2 large paper clips
3 pieces of copper wire
battery-operated digital clock
pencil and paper
lots of friends or family members
Check with an adult before you begin. This activity has two parts and you'll need lots of friends or family members for the second part.
Follow the directions to make a
Lemon Battery
. Be sure to get help from an adult if you're not allowed to use a knife.
Make the same cuts in the other fruits and vegetables that you'll be comparing to the lemon. The ZOOMers tried apples, oranges, potatoes and bananas, but you could try anything from kiwis to kumquats.
Draw a chart for the predictions you'll make and the results you'll record. Write the names of the fruits and vegetables in rows along the left side of the page. In columns along the top of your page write "predicted voltage" and "actual voltage".
Make some predictions. Which fruits or vegetables will produce a current? Based on the voltage produced by the lemon battery, how much voltage do you think each will produce? Which will be the strongest? The weakest? Write your predictions on your chart.
Now, it's time to test your fruits and veggies.
Attach the copper wires, pennies and paper clips to each fruit or vegetable following the instructions for Lemon Battery. Attach each of your batteries to a digital clock. Which ones can power the clock? Indicate these fruits and vegetables on your chart.
Now, find out how strong a current each produces. Instead of attaching your fruit and veggie batteries to the clock, attach them to the voltmeter. Record the voltage produced by each battery on your chart.
How do your predictions compare to your results? Why do you think your results were the same or different? Does the clock require a certain voltage to run? Share your results with the scientific community of other ZOOMers.
Now you're ready for the second part, pass it on! This is when you'll need to get help from your lab assistants (your friends and family members). Put away the voltmeter and reattach your clock to the fruit battery.
Cut your lemon, or whatever kind of fruit you're using for your battery, in half so that the penny is in one half and the paper clip in the other half. The clock should go out, since you've just disconnected the circuit.
Now hold one half of the fruit in one hand and your lab assistant's hand in the other. Have your lab assistant hold the other half of the fruit in his or her free hand. Does the clock light up again? It should, since you and your lab assistant are now part of a complete circuit.
Make a prediction about how many people the current will flow through and still power the clock.
Keep adding lab assistants to the circuit until the clock no longer runs. How do your results compare with your predictions? Is there anything you can do to increase the conductivity (the flow of current) in your circuit of lab assistants?
Let us know
if you come up with any interesting ideas or results.
Which of your batteries do you think will power a clock the longest? Make a prediction, try out your batteries and
send your results to ZOOM
. Can your battery outlast the potato battery made by Christina of Ontario? Hers lasted two whole weeks. That bunny better watch out!
Emma, age 13 of Wanagnui, New Zealand
this worked really well I used it for my science fair. 2 lemons put out just about 2 volts and this powerd a digital watch but when I tried to power a 1. 5 volt lightbulb it woulndnt go and also when I tried a small clock it didnt go either. ialso tried a grapefruit and it put out just about as much as a grapefruit! do you know if a potatoe will work? thanks ZOOM!!!
Cynthia, age 12
It worked, but I substituted the pennies with nickel and it worked much better It may not work if you do not have enough current Also, check if your positive and negative leads are in the correct order. The flat side of the LED must connect to the negative lead.
David, age 10 of Jacksonville, FL
i tried it the voltage was high, but there was no energy flow. It couldn't power up a light bulb can anyone tell me why?
Akshath, age 11 of St. Paul, MN
i tried a lemon and a potato and the lemon worked best. I did this for my science fair project. thanks zoom
Martina, age 16 of Braintree, MA
Mangos are way better than oranges for this project!
Sophie, age 9 of St. Louis, MO
I tried multiple times and the time it finally worked was when I used 2 lemons and an apple. Don't get mad at the clock. Add more juice!!!
Katie, age 14 of Princeton, KS
it was so cool. it lit a flashlight for 3 hours.
Jasmine, age 11 of Coalinga
it didn't work. I even tried a orange.
ZOOM Fan, age 14 of Simi Valley, CA
i tested multiple fruits, but the lemon didnt produce more energy!!! it turns out the kumquat did!!
Arron, age 4 of Mesquite, TX
i tried lemon grapefruit and a lime and ithink the leon or the lime or the grapefruit will conduct more electricty
Amy, age 11 of Taikoo, Hing Kong
IT WORKED! Its really fascinating how a lemon can power up suck things.. A grapefruit works too
Ella, age 14 of Rocklin, CA
it lasted for 3 days!!!
Branson, age 15 of UT
it was stupid like it worked for a minute then died! gosh
Danny, age 12 of Levittown, NY
It worked, The Voltage was 0. 74 and it powered a clock for a few days I compared a potato and lemon and the lemon was the best it lasted for a full 3 days while the potato only lasted 2
Mayur, age 10 of Guelph, ON
I tried a banana, grapefruit, apple, and potato. The apple was the best, then the grapefruit, then the banana, and finally the potato! I was really amazed!!!
Julia, age 10 of New Jersey
it dikdnt work like something was wrong with the terminals
Susue, age 11 of Oroville, CA
the lime worked the best not lemon
Fabio, age 16 of Ipswich
I first found out that the best combination of metals to use were Zinc and copper, this gave me a average reading of 0. 76. I then found that the best fruit was not the lemon but in fact it was the orange as it gave me a average reading of 0. 75 wheras the lemon was only 0. 72. I also changed how deep I put the zinc and copper in and found that this did affect the voltage, the best depth as 3cm it gave me a reading of 0. 77
Jerrod of Orangeburg, SC
the lemon work the best
Alex, age 11 of San Antonio, TX
the lemon conducted the most electricity
Frankie of Miami, FL
the lemon worked the best but how does the lemon and work better im still wondering
Sam, age 10
i used orange, lemon and lime. Lemon was no. 1!!
Arthi, age 12 of Shalimar, FL
My project went spectacular! I also used this project in the science fair, thanks zoom!!!
Chris, age 15 of Chandler, AZ
The experiment was great!! The lemon produced the most volts per hour when I trialed it against a potato battery. Thanks pbs for the great idea and keep more coming!!
Jessica, age 8 of Culver City, CA
The lemon worked the best!!!
Jeaniree, age 11

Great Pump!
By TCULetterman#57
from Dover, NH
About Me Avid Cyclist
I like the pump in terms of it's ability to be used with either valve head! My only problem was I had no directions which cause my first use to be a total disaster. After losing all my tire pressure, I went to the internet to confirm some basic specs and I was able to inflate my tire back up to it's proper pressure. Once you understand how to initially attach the pump correctly, you will always be assured of maintaining proper tire pressure every time you go out for a ride!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice pump; slightly clunky head
By Eclogite
from Austin, TX
I bought this pump to replace my 16 year old Blackburn floor pump so that I would have a pump with a gauge on it that would work on my new road bike's Presta valves as well as service my old mountain bike and my kids' bikes. Gauge is very easy to read. I don't have a separate gauge so I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems to do the job properly. The handle isn't too comfortable, but it's not a deal breaker. I find the pump fairly easy to operate. The SwitchHitter Head works perfectly as advertised. However, it is a bit heavy and clunky to use with a very stiff engagement lever mechanism. I have to use two hands to properly support it when putting it on and taking it off the more delicate Presta valves on the road bike.
Also, the picture shown here isn't the correct picture for the pump. The new one is on the Specialized website, though.

*spoilers ahead*
That's right. Stop reading now if you haven't seen last evening's episode.
Before I get into the cocktails, was anyone else shocked when Don took a temporary turn for the dark side last night? I hadn't expected him to sleep with Andrea, let alone strangle her. I was, of course, relieved to discover it was a fever-induced delusion. But perhaps we did take a turn for the darker side of things last night. Don has discovered that it is probably within him to kill someone who might destroy his happiness. Sally has been exposed to the "real world," with the brutal murder of 8 nursing school students in Chicago. To combat this? Grandma just splits a sleeping pill with her. So yeah, maybe we are walking a bit on the dark side this season. I said to someone this morning that I find the 60s to be one of the most confusing times. Civil rights, the beginnings of the women's movement, the shadows of different wars hanging over the country like a spectre, whether it's Viet Nam or WWII. I can't imagine growing up in the middle of all that, and I wonder how it will affect Sally.
Then there is Joan. She has her own darkness with which to contend. In case we'd forgotten what an ass her husband is, the writers brought him back for an episode. I admit, I'd been waiting to find out he'd been killed in action. I'd forgotten that he has very low self-esteem, that he failed at landing the job of his dreams, and that he made up for the lack of faith in himself by raping his now-wife. Joan hadn't forgotten. "You were never a good man." Go Joanie! I was rooting for her! I get that he re-upped because the military is the first place he's felt useful and knowledgeable. That counts for a lot. But Joan is right; that's just not a decision you make without consulting your wife. I wonder if now that she's kicked him out if they'll get a divorce or if the writers will kill him off. Either way, Joan is effectively a single mom now , and lest we forget, that's really Roger's baby.
From 4/8/12 episode of AMC's Mad Men
When Joan first found out about the re-upping, they were in a restaurant with her in-laws. Everyone else ordered wine. "That one," he said, pointing at the menu. We never did find out what wine "that one" might be. Joan, however, bucked the wine trend and ordered a gin fizz, so that's what we'll talk about today.
Sloe Gin Fizz (from Cocktail Times)
Sloe Gin is a red gin-based liqueur infused with sloe berries. It is usually bottled at between 15 to 30 percent alcohol by volume. Some sloe gins are made with neutral spirit flavored with sloe berries.
Garnish: orange slice and maraschino cherry
Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice. Garnish with orange slice and cherry.
Ramos Gin Fizz (from Gumbopages.com)
Years ago, Kevin and I spent New Year's Eve at the cocktail lounge in Arnaud's in New Orleans. I drank a variety of champagne cocktails, but the bartender took Kevin on his own personal tour of New Orleans cocktails. The one that sticks with me is the Ramos Gin Fizz because it was the first drink I'd seen ever made with an egg white. The drink was invented in the 1880s by Henry Ramos at New Orleans' Meyer's Restaurant. It later became the signature drink of the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans and New York, thanks to Governor Huey Long, who happened to be a fan. This recipe calls for shaking at least one minute. I've read that you can shake up to 10 minutes and because of that, it often takes a bartending team to make a large number of Ramos Gin Fizzes.
According to Gumbopages.com, you need to be very careful when adding orange flower water to the drink because it can easily overwhelm the cocktail.
Shake all ingredients except the soda water WITHOUT ICE very vigorously for at least one minute, preferably longer — the longer the better. Then add ice and shake for 1-2 minutes, as long as you can manage, until extremely cold and frothy. Strain into a tall thin glass, or a very large old fashioned glass, and top with soda water. Stir gently.
My thanks also to GumboPages, who pointed me towards this great video on making a Ramos Gin Fizz:

On Monday, I spent some time talking about Piper-Heidsieck. My thanks to Eric who sent me an image of a beautiful vintage poster of a Piper-Heidsieck bottle. It's so appropriate considering Mad Men is set in the world of advertising. This print ad is from 1953, displaying the 1949 vintage. The bottle is appears identical to the one Pete opened in Sunday's episode. If indeed it was a 1949 vintage, I have no doubt it cost our fictional character a fair amount of his fictional 1960s dollars. I bet it tasted pretty darned good though.
One item I'd like to point out about the above ad is that the bubbly is poured into a regular wine glass and not a champagne flute. Now, maybe the good folks at Piper-Heidsieck can shed some light on that choice for me. In fact, the classic tulip shaped champagne flute was in wide use by the 1930s. However, a lot of people were still using the champagne coupe, from the late 1800s. (A myth states the coupe was molded from the breast of Marie Antoinette.) In fact, in 2009, we found the characters of Mad Men enjoying some Veuve Clicquot in coupes.
To end on a note of utter whimsy, you'll notice there is a miniature circus, including a rather talented giraffe, taking over the ad. Piper-Heidsieck is a Champagne House that's always been slightly unconventional, even when everything was conventional in the 1940s and '50s. In 2008 they embraced their inner Lewis Carroll and released an upside-down bottle designed by Viktor & Rolf. If you were feeling exravagant, you might also pick up an upside down ice bucket and flutes.

Screen capture, AMC TV's Mad Men, 2012
In last night's Mad Men, I was given a lot of options. I could write about cocktails, about Canadian Club, Jack Daniel's, Stoli, or even Chivas Regal. But near the end, I was given the perfect opportunity to wax on a bit about my favorite beverage of all … champagne.
Near the 40 minute mark, Pete is announcing the Mohawk Airlines win and deftly putting down Roger, all while opening a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck champagne. I can't zoom in far enough without going blurry, so I can't tell you whether it's a vintage year or not. So let's start with a quick refresher on champagne itself.
There are a lot of tasty sparkling wines out there, including cava and just good ol' sparkling wine. It's not uncommon for these to be made using the age old Champenois process. However, in order to be called "champagne," it needs to come from the Champagne region of France, no matter how many bubbles are racing to the top.
Champagne is divided into vintage and non-vintage (NV) wine. NV Champagnes are the most common and often include grapes from 3 or more harvests. Every so often, a vintage is so remarkable that the winemaker will declare it a vintage year. Remember that while one House may declare a vintage, another may not. Vintage and NV wines are at the discretion of the winemaker.
Bubbly is made from any one or more of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier grapes. It also comes in several different styles that you'll see on the label. Blanc de blancs means that the wine was produced from all white grapes. In Champagne, this means the wine is 100% chardonnay. Blanc de noirs means the champagne is produced from pinot noir, pinot meunier, or a blend of the two.
You should also pay attention to the sweetness levels, denoted by French terms on the label. Extra Brut is usually very dry champagne, whereas Brut is dry, but may still be a bit rich on the finish. Extra-Sec and Sec are usually medium dry wines and Demi-Sec is usually the sweetest style you'll find on the market.
To tie it all back into our episode, let's talk a little about Piper-Heidsieck. Piper-Heidsieck is in the Reims region of Champagne and has been around since 1785. Now one of the largest Champagne Houses, it started as the house of Heidsieck with Florens-Louis Heidsieck at the helm. Florens-Louis passed away in 1828 and his nephew Christian took over, with help from his cousin, Henri Piper. The House didn't become a hyphenate until 10 years later, when Christian died. Cousin Henri took this chance to marry the newly widowed wife of Christian (oh yes!) and the house of Piper-Heidsieck was created.
Piper-Heidsieck has had some fun over the years, but in 2009 they really attracted my attention with Le Ritual – a collaboration with Christian Louboutin. Really, shoes and champagne … of course I noticed this.
Le Rituel is a box set containing a glass stiletto, complete with signature red sole, and a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck. The collaboration was in homage to an odd period in the 1880s when there was an strange and decadent high-society "ritual" of drinking from women's shoes.
Last night's Mad Men featured Don drinking a Budweiser and later, an office party with champagne. While it's great that Bud was around in 1963, I'm not sure it's changed all that much, so let's focus on the champagne and, in particular, the glasses.
Peggy: "This is good champagne."
Don: "I don't think so."
Maybe Don likes small-grower champagnes (or he's just irritated with management). As far as I can tell (by pausing and peering intently at my television), the British management of Sterling Cooper brought in a case or so of orange label Veuve Clicquot, which currently retails for around $75-$110.
What I really want to talk about isn't the expensive champagne, but the glasses from which they drank it. More often than not, we drink our champagne today out of flutes, but in Mad Men, they're using coupes throughout the doomed office party.
The champagne coupe has a wonderful legend associated with it, but unfortunately, it's just a legend. It's said that the shape of the glass was molded on the breast of Marie Antoinette, or occasionally, Madame de Pompadour. While romantic, it remains just a myth.
The coupe was designed in 17th century England and came into fashion again in the 1930s. However, it's not a recommended glass for the drink – it simply looks pretty. The broad surface means the bubbles disappear faster. The preferred glass is a champagne flute, a tall skinny glass that is designed to increase the flow of bubbles to the top and that helps concentrate the aromas of the wine.
It really does make a difference. About a year ago, Kevin and I experimented with several types of glassware, including an old champagne coupe. Aside from being hard to handle (the champagne sloshed out of the glass), the champagne went "flat" a lot faster in the coupe than in the flute.
When it comes down to it, I'll drink champagne taking swigs from the bottle, if need be. But I'm often reminded that glassware really is something to consider when tasting wine.

Justin Bieber has taken London's nickname the Big Smoke literally - he was spotted in the U.K. capital wearing a bizarre gas mask on Monday (25Feb13).
The Baby hitmaker is in Britain for the U.K. leg of his world tour and he enjoyed a day out shopping in the city with his entourage.
But the singer baffled onlookers when he donned a creepy plastic and rubber gas mask, along with a leather suit and a baseball cap.
It's not the first time Bieber has been the man behind the mask - he donned a gold face covering last year (12), and tweeted fans to say, "i am the #masterofdisguise."

Certain combinations like Gautam Menon-Haris Jeyaraj, Vishnuvardhan-Ajith and Selvaragavan-Yuvan Shankar Raja remain unbeatable. The popular duos have produced some blockbuster hits in Tamil cinema. After Billa, the Vishnuvardhan and Ajith combination is back on track to weave magic onscreen once again. There are many rumours surrounding the Vishnuvardhan film. Some reports say that along with Ajith, Vishnu's brother Krishna is playing a vital role in the film. Amala Paul, Anushka and Ileana were reportedly approached to play the lead role.
Vishnuvardhan opens up on his film's status. "I am undoubtedly directing Ajith's next flick," he says, adding, "Yes, we are back now. I am overwhelmed to work with Ajith again. I am currently working on the script. After the action films we have done, Ajith and I have decided to work on an entertaining script rather than on any particular genre. It is too early to talk about the star cast.
Other than Ajith, nobody else has been confirmed yet." Vishnuvardhan was ready with a fresh script for Billa 2 but dropped the project later. Was he going to be re-working the same script? "No, this is a different story .
Talks were on for working with Ajith last year itself. I was just sorting out the exact script for Thala," he clarifies. Have the issues regarding Billa 2 been sorted out? "There were no issues at all. I am glad to work with Ajith again." Asked when the film would start shooting, he says, "The shooting begins in March and I am looking forward to a great time with Ajith on the sets."

This fad has maintained China in the helm of all world events. Whether it is a plane or house thing, Chinese items have a say all over. The 2nd factor is more potent compared to the very first one. It has established the hegemony of the China Sourcing over the world.
China sourcing agent
The brand-new fad gave an extreme adjustment in the sourcing strategies of makers. Formerly they were interested only in the supply of goods now they are taking into consideration buying finished items from China to sell in their house nation. China offerings are budget-friendly as well as score high in quality. These products could function also in negative condition and as a result of low price most everyone could get them.
