Types of Folding Chairs
Mobile Luxury
Mobile luxury, the folding chair allows you to take the comfort of sitting wherever you go, be it a football game on a Friday night, the beach on vacation, going camping on a trip, or tailgating at a party. Folding chairs come in many styles and materials based on what the chair is intended to do.
Steel Folding Chairs
A sturdy steel folding chair for long lasting use around the home as a lawn chair or extra seating at the dinner table, it may not be the best choice for the beach or camping do to weight, but may make itself useful in an RV do to limited space. These chairs tend to be the pick for weddings when seating many outside. These chairs sometimes have cushions making long sitting sessions more comfortable, others are just metal, making them last longer.
Tailgating Chairs
Light weight metal framed tailgating chairs are a good mix of strength and weight for camping and baseball games, these chairs tend to have fabric in place of a cushion and are waterproof and dry fast so they are outdoor weather friendly. These chairs tend to have cup holders, a side pocket for magazines and fold up to fit in a waterproof bag the size of an umbrella, making them great for most everything but formal occasions, such as dinner and weddings, but who wants to go to those anyway?
Wood Folding Chair
Other types include wooden folding chairs, these types of chairs need care do to the nature of wood, and have a style all there own, for this reason, these types of chairs tend to be used for style around the home, and possible extra seating. Wood does not do well in moist weather conditions making this a bad choice to buy unless its single use is all you intend to get out of the chair. Some wooden folding chairs are made for outdoor and patio use, but still tend to need extra care and planning unlike other types of folding chairs
Directors Chair
One famous type of folding chair has to be the "Directors Chair," this chair is identifiable from the 'X' shape of the legs, and has "Director" written on the back, marking the chair used by the director in movie production. The classic version that sometimes comes to mind when thinking of this chair has black fabric with a wooden frame. This chair is also made from many types of metals such as aluminum and steel giving it different amounts of strength and weight and will sometimes come with features of a tailgating folding chair, such as the cup holder, magazine sized pocket, and even a folding side table.

Since the 1990's, video games have been a subject of controversy to the public eye.
In times of violence, Government officials, News reporters, and parents alike have all pointed the finger at video games and their developers for — in one way or another — poisoning the minds of their children and teenagers alike. As a result, video games have become an easy scapegoat for numerous violent tendencies antisocial behaviors.
Games like Mortal Kombat, Grand Theft Auto, Doom and others, have taken the blame for various heinous crimes. Even Mass Effect, a story driven sci-fi shooter has received a vast amount of controversy under the accusation that players would be able to have (graphic) sexual intercourse with any character in the game. Certain government officials have even gone as far as filing lawsuits against the developing companies in an attempt to outlaw video games in general. Not only that, but they have also been under scrutiny for supposedly causing a gaming "addiction", leading to a substantial amount of social withdrawl.
Whether or not you agree with the many accusations thrown towards video games, one can not ignore the lack of consideration towards any of their positive effects. Yes, it seems as though the media finds it a bit too easy to point fingers at something that they don't fully understand. So let's set all that aside for a minute and take a look at some of the positive effects of video games.
For starters, let's look at the ways video games have been a help to people and their social development. Studies show that video games can improve social development with Autistic children. Playing video games can teach them to how respond to visual and verbal queues, greatly improving social responses.
What about kids without autism? The assumption is that kids who play video games often are subject to social withdrawal and may develop an addiction. Studies prove the opposite, that when introduced to games at a young age, in a group, video games can be a great source of social interaction.
Gaming at a young age can help develop critical thinking skills. In other words, kids who pay attention to a string of events in a video game are very likely to apply this to their real lives later on.
At an older age, there are of course kids who are naturally introverted and shy in nature. Playing games in groups or online has proven to be a great way to connect with others in similar situations and with similar interests. In fact, most teenagers in this day and age are not actually playing alone, but regularly bring their favorite titles online (Xbox Live, Playstation Network, or Steam) and in large interactive groups.
Now how about a scientific approach? Video games are proven to improve hand eye coordination (much like the way sports do), greatly benefiting many various jobs and professions. First person shooters especially account to this. Paying attention to enemies in cover, keeping your eye on the target, etc, can translate into many real life (beneficial) situations. These of this nature can also lead to an overall increase in concentration. Players who enjoy action games in general have been shown to be much more aware of their surroundings and are able to pay far more attention to the task at hand, being quite immune to distractions.
Then there are those suffering from strokes. Video games have been proven to help rehabilitate stroke victims and assist in them in gaining back their motor skills.
Lastly, video games have been known as a healthy outlet of aggression, or as an overall stress relief, despite their reputation stating otherwise. Much like books or movies, video games allow a sort of "escape". Playing games has been a help to many in stressful and traumatic situations.
Critics have to keep in mind that those who scapegoat video games as a cause of aggression and antisocial behaviours, most likely have had additional concerns that needed to be taken into account.
The gaming universe can certainly account for hours of stress relief, escape from personal issues, and countless years of fun times. So while the media chooses to force a condemning image upon video games, one must remember to take into account, the other end of the spectrum, which in fact has many helpful benefits to those willing to open their mind to the greater picture.

I went to ULTA a few days ago because I wanted to get an eye cream and an eyebrow pencil…I came out with a few extra stuff as well! Does that ever happen to you? Happens to me all the time…I'll go in for one thing but come out with a few (maybe more than a few) extra stuff.
Look through the gallery to see what I go. I will be adding my thoughts on the products as well down below…
I had never tried the Murad Clarifying Cleanser before so I was excited to try especially since I like shopping more for skin care products than actual make up. Because I had never tried it, I got the travel size version first before I purchase the actual big size one. I have used a few times now and I LOVE it. I have been using it with my clarisonic and it has left my skin so clean but it does leave it kinda dry; it has salicylic acid acne treatment in it which usually dries out my skin. I feel a bit of a tingle when I wash it off my face and it feels so fresh to me.
I then wanted to get an eye cream and I have heard great things about benefit eye cream called its potent and I wanted to give it a try. Again I didn't want to purchase the regular size since it was my first time so I purchased the travel size one which came in box with a few other goodies. So far I love the eye cream, but my favorite I would have to say is the facial cream by benefit. It is so moisturizing and smells so good! I will for sure be purchasing the facial cream but may shop around for an eye cream…if you have one that you love please let me know in the comments below 🙂
I always go with Anastasia brow pencil for my brows…I was actually disappointed this time because I used it for two days and there was no more product left inside…usually these last me for a good few weeks!
I have been meaning to get a beauty blender but couldn't find the original one at ulta that day so I ended up getting the sponge to contour with; but I love it for applying my foundation actually. I love that the bottom of it is small and fits perfectly in my fingers.
I have weak nails and so I got a nail harder nail polish to try out to see how I like it along with nail filer because I always lose those.
I have been into blow drying my hair lately rather than straightening it so I went ahead and purchased a new round brush and I love it.
I have been hearing a lot about the poo-poourri so I wanted to give it a try…first of it, it smells so good and secondly it actually works so woohoo!
What are some of your favorite skin care products???

It is a bunny, although in the beginning I thought I was doing an Easter egg!
This one goes to the bathroom, not to wash dishes there, but to serve as a washcloth for the bath of the girls.
I used some mixture of cotton there. The white is Peaches n cream (the rest of it), and the pink is Patton's mercerized cotton, and I used with two strands along.
The Jacobean socks are in the 50% stage.
Finish the first one, and already started the second.
And if you're interested in the SKP2008 Group, you can find them here.
And for the owner of the pattern, it is here.
This pair of socks must be ready to show in the SAM5 until the end of this month, I know, not much time there, but I can do it!

Dear traveller,
If you are searching for a place where you can relax, enjoy the sun, the peaceful life of the village, and at the same time visit Cordoba, Seville, Andalusia, or if you are just passing through on your holiday, on a business trip, holding an event or meeting, a family get-together or any other kind of encounter, then you are at the right place.
Only 35 minutes from the provincial capital of Cordoba, you have the chance to stay in a beautiful, comfortable and old-fashioned house, which has been recently restored preserving all the original features that date back to the start of the 20th century.
The house sleeps nine people and has been classified as High Quality by the Official Tourist Board, in compliance with strict quality regulations.
It is situated on the outskirts of Villaviciosa de Córdoba and occupies a total area of more than 190 square metres.
There are four large bedrooms, three double and one triple, three bathrooms, a lounge with a fireplace, dining room, kitchen, patio, solarium and swimming pool. Distributed by a hallway, with a gallery, a triple 18.61m2 room, a double bed, another single room with an ensuite bathroom. A 14m2 room with a double bed and bathroom. Two 14m2 twin rooms. A large shared bathroom, which is suitable for the disabled. There is a 40 square metre lounge-dining room and a very comfortable patio, solarium and swimming pool.
Villaviciosa de Córdoba is situated in a privileged setting, in the heart of the natural area of Sierra Morena, just a few minutes away from several hiking routes that will take you through pine forests and open farmland, where you can experience nature at its best. If you wish, you can also visit our farmland, which is around 8 km from the house and where we have other rural houses, La Molina de la Campana and the Cortijo de Camama. Here, you will be able to enjoy a large piece of land, where you can walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sierra Morena .

Matt Gemmell, iOS developer and generally good guy, came out in defense of Sparrow's recent acquisition by Google and their subsequent announcement of discontinuation, which caused great discontent among users.
Gemmell claims that Sparrow's users have no right to complain. I firmly disagree with that sentiment, though I don't disagree with his rebuttal of the sense of entitlement exhibited by some people, as illustrated in his post. But if you're a paying customer, or even a free trial customer, you have every right to complain. If you don't complain, you're implicitly condoning the things that happen, so when something happens you don't agree with, complaining is a right course of action.
"Selling out isn't a dirty choice," argues Gemmell. Except it is. Selling out is a negative term in every industry, and there is no good reason we should pretend it's a positive in ours. "It's business," he continues, as if business has to be this way.
There is an implicit promise in the act of doing business. It is a promise of respect and mutual trust, where the business offers the customer something of value, for which the customer pays money. The free-but-paid-with-advertising model has made this promise blurry, but not absent. When a company sells itself to a bigger company as a talent acquisition, leaving the product—and, consequently, its customers—out in the cold as a result of this acquisition, it is a reneging on that implicit promise.
It is disrespectful towards customers to say "I am going to charge you for this product" only to then revoke the product later on; that is what is called a loan, a temporary use of a product or service. But in the case of most startups that get acquired and have their product killed, it is never communicated in any way that the business agreement was a paid loan, not a purchase.
This is also why I don't consider startups that offer a free product funded solely by investors a business. If you're not charging anyone, you're a service that is using its customers (or users, really) as a means to enrich your product, and the "product" may well encompass both your software and yourself as the developers. If you sell your company without having made a single dollar of profit—or worse, revenue—you're not doing business at all. You just sold yourself as a product.
Sparrow is somewhat unusual in that the product is left alive—for now—but will no longer be developed on, and their payment model was a single-time purchase (as opposed to a recurring one). It is disappointing for customers in that they did everything we as businesses can ask of them to support our endeavors—pay for our product; everything they do beyond that is a bonus—and yet even then, the customers were left out in the cold. A mild cold, perhaps, in that the customers can still use Sparrow as it is today, but the disrespect they experience is real all the same.
Marco Arment's argument for healthy businesses only goes so far:
Instapaper has had multiple similar inquiries from large companies over the last few years. We've never gotten very far in talks because I don't want Instapaper to shut down, I don't want to move my family across the country, and they didn't want to pay enough — for them, they'll pay a premium to hire me, but they won't pay much for a service they'll shut down immediately and an app they'll throw away.
I was only able to reject those offers because Instapaper is a healthy business, and the life that Instapaper provides for me and my family is better than what the big companies offered.
So what if some company did offer Arment a big enough paycheck that he would move his family and kill Instapaper for? Where does Arment draw the line? Is it at a certain dollar value, or is he true to his principles and would he never sacrifice Instapaper? Perhaps Arment is fortunate in having a healthy business, but unfortunate in that no company finds him or Instapaper worth a significantly high amount of money for it to ever truly question his dedication to those principles.
That was, evidently, not the case for Sparrow, despite widespread praise and many paying customers. The lure of lots of money nearly always brings out the worst in people, and its temptation can be hard to resist for anyone. But, it's a lot easier when you make your core business principles about things other than money—and respect for your customers should be prominently among them.
You know why thus far I haven't lamented Instagram's acquisition by Facebook? Because they made it a deal that showed respect for their users; the product was allowed to live and continue to be developed on, and its community to continue to thrive. I may be disappointed that they didn't try (hard enough) to make Instagram an actual business, rather than a collective product of software and people, but that disappointment is separate from my happiness to the team—several of whom are good personal friends of mine—for their well-deserved success. Instagram has made the lives of many people better or more enjoyable in some small way, and it gets to continue to do so.
Similarly, when Typekit was bought by Adobe, that deal was fully in favor of Typekit as a product and as a business; the customers were not left out in the cold. In fact, the acquisition opened up opportunities for Typekit as a product to be an even better service, to far more people. In that deal, the product itself was given the love and respect it deserved, which one could reasonably expect to be the reason for its existence in the first place. (Unlike, say, products that exist only to serve as a conduit for its creators to be acquired for millions of dollars.)
Typekit and Instagram sold. Sparrow, like so many before them, sold out. The discontinuation of further development on the product may not be as disrespectful to its customers as the full killing of it, but it's close enough for widespread discontent among those (paying) customers to be fully justified. Maybe Sparrow's creators will get to make Gmail a significantly better email client for the world; but maybe the priorities of a giant corporation are not so much concerned with that. I think a lot of the discontent stems from the fact that many of these customers weren't using Gmail (as an app) in the first place.
A healthy business is what every company ought to aspire to, right? True enough. But I think an even bigger priority is for the business to focus on providing a product that actually makes a difference. Just look at Wall Street as an example of what happens when the sheer focus on money by itself, rather than as a facilitator for goods or services, corrupts every sense of decency and ethics in big businesses. I would much rather the software industry not head in the same direction.
There are two ways to look at business: one is to make money, and one is to make the world better in a (financially and otherwise) sustainable manner. I reserve my respect and admiration squarely for those who conform to the latter, and I encourage you to do the same.
Update: make sure to read my follow-up on this piece.

I can't really say exactly how this outfit happened. It started with a dress, and ended with ballerina poses from Frozen. I usually have a clear vision, based off of an item I find, and what other things i have had sitting, waiting to go up on the blog. This one evolved in a flurry, leaving me more than a bit dazed and even a little amazed, by the styling I created.
Silken Moon has some different sorts of skins. This one I am assuming is inspired by the TV Show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". It is at Skin Fair currently, and is only L$200. I think it makes me look more like a mutant, than a vampire. Love the nose ridges.
Also at the Skin Fair, and previously blogged by me, are these vinyl gloss lips from #adored. I have been having lots of fun with them. I spruced them up with this face paint from no.7, currently at this round of Level Up. This is a gacha prize, and there are a bunch of other game inspired gachas here as well.
I randomly found this dress at a Japanese mall. I did happen to remember to save a land mark this time around, haha. While it might not be mesh, and normally I don't do white, I really liked the felxi textures on this. I like things that are tutu-like, and this was close enough for me.
The designers on the Asylum Sim were also shopping at Level Up. They picked up the new spiders from Silent Sparrow, which allow you to put prizes in them, and have people stomp on them. I bought them as well.
So tp on to the sim, look for the spiders, they are about twice the size of your avatar's head. Then you just walk over them repeatedly. I went around the sim in a circle and got a bunch of things.
More info on the spider hunt when you land at the sim. There are signs you can click.

PASCAGOULA, MS (WLOX) - A hit and run results in one car overturned in a ditch and three in the emergency room.
Pascagoula Police responded to a hit and run accident Friday evening a little after 7PM at the intersection of Chicot Road and Nathanhale Avenue.
The crash occurred on Chicot Road in the northbound lane. A 1995 Buick Park Avenue driven by Ashley Manuel was stopped at the intersection when she was stuck in the rear by a 1998 Nissan Sentra driven by Velma Frazier.
Manuel said after she was struck in the rear by Frazier, Frazier drove around her and continued Northbound towards Denny Avenue(Hwy 90).
Witnesses stated they saw Frazier traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound on Denny Avenue, weaving in and out of traffic while passing other motorist.
Witnesses stated that Frazier lost control of the vehicle and slid off the roadway. The vehicle rolled over on its roof and the final resting point was in a ditch near LY Buffet on Denny Ave.
Frazier was under water for a short period of time, when police and witnesses pulled her from her vehicle.
Frazier was the only occupant in the vehicle and was transported to Singing River Emergency Room where she was then admitted. Frazier's injuries are unknown at this time.
Manuel and her passenger, Shakendra Galloway, went to the ER by private vehicle and were released.

AUSTIN— Hunters hoping for a chance at premium guided hunt packages through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Big Time Texas Hunts program have until midnight Sunday, Oct. 15 to enter. That's the deadline for the opportunity to be selected for these top shelf hunting adventures.
Big Time Texas Hunts provide opportunities to win one or more of nine premium guided hunt packages with food and lodging provided, as well as taxidermy in some cases. The crown jewel of the program is the Texas Grand Slam hunt package, which includes four separate hunts for Texas' most prized big game animals — the desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn.
In addition to the Grand Slam, there are several quality deer hunting packages available, as well as opportunities to pursue alligator, waterfowl, upland game birds, wild hog and exotics. New to the program this year is the chance to win a $1,699 Benelli Super Eagle 3 shotgun provided by Cabela's as part of the Waterfowl Adventure package. Check out this video documenting the Ultimate Mule Deer Hunt, one of the latest and most popular additions to Big Time Texas Hunts http://bit.ly/MuleDeerVideo.

Entries are also available for $10 each at hunting license retailers or by phone (800) 895-4248 And there is no limit to the number of entries an individual may purchase. Over $8 million has been raised since the program began in 1998, and all proceeds benefit conservation, wildlife management and public hunting.

Big Time Texas Hunts is made possible with support from Toyota and the Texas Bighorn Society.

RAYMOND, Minn. — After explaining how technology-driven, prescription fertilizer methods make economic and environmental sense because fewer chemicals are applied to farmland, Noah Hultgren invited Matt Dean to climb into the cab of a John Deere combine. Even though there was too much snow to harvest corn and the combine was in a heated shop, Dean got the rundown on how the mammoth machine operates and then followed Hultgren outside to see a grain dryer that was reducing the moisture content of already harvested corn.
WILLMAR, Minn. — A growing market for industrial hemp as food, fiber and nutraceuticals is gaining ground in west central Minnesota and could find a place in Kandiyohi County. There's at least one field of hemp planted this year in Chippewa County and a food-grade processing facility is being established in Olivia—about 25 miles south of Willmar. Yes. It is legal. And, no, industrial hemp is not intoxicating.
WILLMAR, Minn. — A festive Christmas light celebration Saturday, Dec. 10, near Willmar had a tragic end when several passengers and the driver of horse-drawn wagon were injured after the horses got spooked and ran for about a mile before crashing in a yard. The passengers had non-life-threatening injuries but emergency life-saving measures were performed on the driver, who was taken to Rice Memorial Hospital in critical condition and later transferred to the Hennepin County Medical Center.
NEW LONDON, Minn. — Need to burn those extra Thanksgiving dinner calories or take a break from Black Friday shopping? Well, take a hike. It's "Free Park Friday" when entrance fees to all Minnesota State Parks are waived for the day to encourage people to take advantage of the outdoors. "Fresh air, great scenery, the company of family and friends and all at no cost. We hope thousands of Minnesota families take advantage of this offer," said Erika Rivers, director of Minnesota State Parks and Trails.
WILLMAR -- The Kandiyohi County Courthouse has been selected as a pilot site for a centralized court payment system for the Minnesota Judicial Branch. The decision to locate this "one-of-a-kind" payment center in Willmar could mean the addition of 12 to 16 jobs for the Eighth Judicial District Court, said Kandiyohi County Administrator Larry Kleindl. The center will process payments for certain fines, such as traffic and Department of Natural Resources violations, for all 87 counties in the state, Kleindl said.
Pie makers and jack-o'-lantern carvers may want to nab a pumpkin while they can. A cool summer in Minnesota, and much of the Midwest, could result in fewer pumpkins for sale this fall at farmers' markets and retail outlets. "It was too cold of a summer. The heat wasn't there," said John Blonigen, who grew about an acre of pumpkins this year on his 6-acre vegetable farm near Paynesville. He sells to local retail outlets.
WILLMAR -- A pilot project to "e-charge" individuals for crimes gets under way next week in Kandiyohi County. Starting Monday, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will be in Willmar to set up the computer software and train officials from law enforcement, the county attorney's office, court administration and judges before the system is put online Thursday. When it's up and running, police reports, criminal complaints, signatures from law enforcement, prosecutors and judges and notarization of documents will all be done electronically. Currently, those thick piles of paper documents are han
SWIFT FALLS -- Carol Skarsten said she was "oblivious" to pending danger Tuesday afternoon while watching TV news about a storm warning for Swift County. But then her husband, Sanford, came tearing in the house and told her to run to the basement. A screaming tornado appeared to be just a couple hundred yards behind the barn, said Sanford Skarsten on Wednesday morning while standing in the debris that was strewn through the family's rural Swift Falls yard. The couple barely made it to the cellar of their 100-year-old house before the swirling winds hit. "The intensity of that thing," said
Last year the YMCA child care center fielded five to six calls every day from people looking for childcare services. This year they've been getting five to six calls a week. "There is a change there," said Donna Brau, child care program director of the center, located at the Kandiyohi County Health and Human Services building in Willmar.
WILLMAR -- When it comes to unemployment, the good news is that Kandiyohi County has the lowest unemployment rates in the 11-county area.

Thank you =)

I thought of you when I stumbled upon this french blog with a link of things to do in Paris…

Citizen Action Kit: Five Easy Ways to Become a Citizen Lobbyist
Five Easy Ways to Become a Citizen Lobbyist
There are many ways to influence your Representatives in government.
Contact Your Members of Congress
In order for your elected officials to do their jobs, they need to hear from their constituents. By writing, calling, or meeting with your elected official, you will make your voice heard.
You can also ask your friends and neighbors to contact their legislators in Washington. The more calls and letters Members of Congress receive, the more likely they are to take action.
Media Outreach
You can educate the public by writing letters to the editor or opinion pieces for newspapers or magazines. A single letter to the editor can reach many thousands of people. And even if your work isn't printed, just submitting a letter or opinion piece about a certain topic shows editors that the issue is one their audience is interested in and can lead to increased coverage of that issue.
Newspaper and magazine websites and blogs often have a comments section under the article. You can take advantage of them and can encourage others to post their comments, too.
Social Network
Educate and motivate your friends and family by forwarding our action alerts and issue-related news through e-mail or posting information through your social media channels. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter and share our updates with your network! If you aren't on Facebook or Twitter yet, join now—they are free and excellent tools for raising awareness.
Throw a Party
Issue-themed parties allow you to educate others about a particular topic in a fun way and motivate them to take action. Hold a potluck, give an informal talk, and provide letter-writing supplies to attendees—what could be better than getting together with your friends to make the world a better place?
Coordinate a Lobby Visit
Coordinate a group visit to your Representative's local office (or Washington office, if you can). A face-to-face meeting is one of the most effective ways to influence your Members of Congress.

Who am I??
Well that is a long story
I once had a story about myself on my home page but this was abused.
One can easily ignore the 'bad' stuff about the net, but I now have a face to put to the unpleasant aspects of the world wide web.
It is unpleasant to have
oneself and one's dearly loved family exposed to that sort of thing.
Because of this I will no longer have my family photographs available to view which is a shame.
AND - for now I shall not build too much on who I am - suffice to say that I am -
a keen Family Researcher -
a Mum -
a Grandmother
A great grandmother
And a loyal Friend.
It is my belief that we must think Globally and act locally and so I work to be of service in my community
I care very much about humanity and my work encompasses this care.

Indonesia responds to leaders of six Pacific countries on West Papua claims
Indonesia has exercised its right of reply at the United Nations General Assembly debate in New York last week to respond to allegations of human rights abuses in Papua and West Papua by leaders of six Pacific Islands Countries.
A representative of Indonesia attacked leaders of Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Marshall Islands, Tuvalu and Tonga for what she claims was 'lack of understanding on the history and progressive developments' happening in these two provinces.'
She exhorted the Pacific Leaders to stick to discussing the impacts of climate change than 'interfere in Indonesia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.'
"Indonesia is shocked to hear that at this august body where leaders are gathered to debate the early implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the transformation of our collective actions and other global challenges such as climate change, of which the Pacific countries are affected the most, the said leaders chose instead to violate the UN charter by interfering in other country's sovereignty and violating its territorial integrity.'
"We categorically reject the continuing insinuations in their statements. They clearly reflect an unfortunate lack of understanding of the history, current developments and on-going progressive developments in Indonesia including the provinces of Papua and West Papua.'
The Indonesian diplomat said the statements by the six Pacific Leaders were 'politically motivated designed to support separatist groups in the two provinces who have consistently engaged inciting public disorder and conducting armed terrorist attacks on civilian and security personnel.'
"Evidently, the statements by those leaders clearly violates the purposes and objectives of the UN Charter and violates the principles of friendly nations amongst states as well as the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
She claimed the Pacific states are using the General Assembly to advance their domestic agenda and for some countries to divert attention from political and social problems at home.
"These countries are using false and fabricated information as the basis of their statements. The conduct of these countries undermine the UN charter and are detrimental to the credibility of this assembly, said the Indonesian diplomat.
She maintains that Indonesia's commitment to the protection of human rights is unquestionable. Indonesia is a founding member of the UN Human Rights Council and has sat as member of the council for three previous periods and is now serving its fourth term.
"Indonesia is among few countries who have a continued national action plan on Human Rights, active national and robust national commission on human rights since 1993, vibrant civil society and free media. We have a full fledge democracy in full function.
"It would be nearly impossible for any human rights allegations to go unnoticed and unscrutinised. We have domestic mechanisms in place at the national level and at provincial level in Papua and West Papua."
She said Indonesia will continue to focus on the development of Papua and West Papua provinces in the best interest of all and ended with a well-known saying in the Asia Pacific region, 'when one points the index finger to others, the thumb finger automatically points to one's face.

Brrr..it's cold outside! As if it isn't difficult enough to decide what to wear any old day of the week, it becomes nearly impossible once snow begins falling and temperatures dip into the 30s, 20s, or -- gasp -- teens and single digits! And while we still may be perfecting our ability to effectively layer without looking like Eskimos, one clothing item doesn't have to be such a headache AND can make your entire winter outfit: an amazing pair of snow/rain boots.
When it comes to boots, there are the good, the bad, and the extremely ugly (seriously, keep gladiator boots far away from me). We've selected some of the finest-looking boots that will also hold up in all kinds of treacherous weather conditions. Beauty + function = how can you go wrong?

1coolbanana wrote:All went fairly smoothly with the emulator install.
The emulator only goes into the rebound leg (since one is comp and the other rebound)
The bit that was confusing is that the instructions nominate that you make a spacer to give 15 mm of installed preload on the spring.
Im using the OEM springs for now and the preload is 50 mm
As per instructions the rebound damper rod has to be drilled in a few places
To end up like this to defeat any original compression now controlled by the emulator
And some spacer chopped off to account for the added length of the emulator and spacer.
Did a bit more work on the forks after some advice from a friendly fella on ADV.
Changed the setup now to:
48 lb spring on the emulator with 4 turns preload (was 68 lb with 2 turns)
Added 20 cc of oil to each leg.
Added 10 mm extra length to the spring preload spacers by making new ones (in orange ) same as PD length now at 170 total.
10 W oil in the RHS (comp and rebound side)
5 W oil in the LHS (comp side)
4 bleed holes instead of 2
Another issue is, upon closer inspection my fork springs are not standard, I dont know what they are but the look progressive.
Lets have another go and see how if feels now

WVU reminds campus community of winter weather procedures
As a new semester begins at West Virginia University on Jan. 9, it's time to remind the campus community about how the University responds when severe winter weather arrives.
Should conditions occur making travel potentially dangerous, both students and employees are reminded to use their own good judgment before venturing out.
"No one should travel in weather conditions in which they feel unsafe," Provost Joyce McConnell said. "If such a circumstance arises, students should notify their professors, and employees their supervisors, if they are unable to come to class or work."
If instructors need to cancel classes, they should make every effort to notify students in advance. "We don't want students out on the road trying to make it to a class that is not being held," she said.
The University counts on professors and supervisors to be understanding of weather-related absences or lateness. "Supervisors should consult with department chairs or Human Resources officials if questions arise," McConnell said.
Supervisors are reminded that, unless the University is closed, employees who do not work their scheduled shift may take annual leave, compensatory time off or— at the supervisors' discretion—be permitted to make up those hours.
Any decision to cancel classes—or to close the University or a divisional campus or office – will be made after several University officials have consulted on the condition of campus roads and grounds as well as conditions in the vicinity. Please note that a declaration of a weather emergency by the governor does not automatically close WVU campuses or offices.
If officials do decide to cancel classes or close the University, students and employees will be informed through many outlets, including:
- The WVU emergency text message system (Sign up http://emergency.wvu.edu/signup.)
- WVU's main web page (http://www.wvu.edu.)
- WVUToday (http://wvutoday.wvu.edu.)
- Mountaineer ENEWS email for faculty and staff
- MIX email for students
- WVU students web page (students.wvu.edu)
- Traditional and social media such as @WVUPD, @WVUToday and @WestVirginiaU on Twitter or WVUMountaineers on Facebook, etc.
These outlets will also be updated with notices about special operating hours for facilities and services such as the Student Recreation Center, Mountainlair, PRT and buses.
Many units remain operational, including dining and residence hall services, roads and grounds crews, libraries and others. Units such as these are reminded to review their emergency internal operating procedures.
WVU Extension Services will follow its internal inclement weather policy, which can be found at http://humanresources.ext.wvu.edu/inclement-weather-policy.
If they haven't already done so, supervisors should inform their staff members who are considered emergency personnel during a facility closure that they would be expected to report to work during a facility/campus closure if at all possible.


text: Hi all so I've never programed before and I would like to automate an iTunes task. What I want to do is log into an iTunes account, go to an iMix, give it a five star rating, log out and repeat. From what I understand Autoit is a program that would let me do this. Is there a program that does not involve programing that I could use to create this automation task? I have heard of iMacros but that seems to be web based only and I will be using the iTunes program. If not does any one know where I can get some tutorials for autoit or any other program that you might suggest? Thanks for helping out a noob!

Lesson 1 (from "The Search Engine")
Corliss Joseph is the protagonist of "The Search Engine." She is a nineteen-year-old Spokane Indian raised on the reservation yet she is unique among her friends and family because she likes poetry and wants to be a writer. In addition, she has gotten herself college scholarships and obtained a prep school education without attending prep school by asking prep school teachers to fax her their lesson plans and reading lists. This lesson will discuss the character of Corliss and how she exemplifies the modern Indian's conflict between Native American culture and traditions and mainstream American culture.
1. Class Discussion: Who is the protagonist of "The Search Engine"? What makes Corliss unique or different from her friends and family members? Does Corliss feel like she fits in with other Indians? Why or why not? Does she feel entirely at home with white people? Why or why not...

During the video reel at Konami's event on Thursday night, we were intrigued by the few glimpses shown of the new aerial combat game heading to the DS, Time Ace. The game has the protagonist piloting different planes in an attempt to travel through time and stop a maniacal adversary. Needless to say, the brief introduction of the game left us itching to get our hands on it as soon as the videos ended and the demo stations were brought in.
Time Ace starts off with some stylized cut scenes explaining the game's back story. Apparently, way back in 1914, a scientist named Dr. Clock (very clever, Konami) invented a time machine and traveled to the future to see what was in store for mankind. When he got there and learned of the senseless battles of World War I, he decided to use his time machine to prevent the war from ever occurring. Unfortunately for our hero, nothing can ever be easy; Dr. Clock's assistant, Dr. Scythe, happens to have his own evil machinations in place regarding the time machine. Unbeknownst to Dr. Clock, Dr. Scythe jumped into the future on a stolen time machine in an attempt to secure a massive stockpile of powerful weapons (obviously a misguided bid at world domination). Ever the forward thinker, Dr. Clock foresaw this contingency and kept a backup time machine awaiting just such an occurance. The game begins as Dr. Clock takes off in his makeshift biplane/time machine fast in pursuit of Dr. Scythe.
The game takes place over 9 different eras, with a total of 19 levels spread out amongst them. Time Ace starts you off in the cockpit of a biplane, but you will fly progressively more futuristic planes as you progress through the game. Eventually, you will pilot an F-15 and even a spacecraft of unknown origins. Sadly, the demo only let us take to the skies in the biplane, which was still pretty well equipped considering its antiquity. The biplane was decked to the brim with machine guns and rockets, as well as a turbo boost. Despite its ramshackle appearance, the biplane was more than capable of taking out the marauding fleets of enemy zeppelins and other such aircraft.
When looking at the game in movies or screenshots, it is fairly natural to assume that it would be controlled via the touch screen, much like Star Fox Command. When we got our hands on the game, however, we were shocked to discover that all of the plane's movement was handled by pressing the d-pad, and that the touch screen was reserved for using power-ups that are littered around the environment. This shocked us at first, as we really liked the touch screen controls in Star Fox Command, but we eventually grew used to it. Each of Time Ace's levels is set primarily on rails, although it does switch to a slightly more free-roaming setup at times. In order to keep the action moving forward, developer Trainwreck Studios opted to place invisible walls around the environment. However, rather than merely turning back towards the level's objectives when touching the invisible walls, sometimes we found ourselves inexplicably crashing and dying.

Lots of great pictures of Willie Nelson and Family at www.WillieNelson.com
Willie Nelson, Mother Earth News (May/June 1987)Saturday, November 30th, 2013
Mother Earth News May/June 1987 Farm Aid's Founder:Â Willie Nelson Patrick Carr
It's midwinter in Tampa, Florida, and as usual the weather is warm going on stifling. Willie Nelson really needs the air conditioner humming peacefully in his mobile home away from home, the Silver Eagle Honeysuckle Rose.
In his own, quiet, careful way, Willie's all business today. Waiting in the cool, dark comfort of the bus for the horde of people his presence will draw to town tonight, he's working hard: poring over snapshots of himself and his sister Bobbie outside the Abbott, Texas, church in which they learned to sing, for the cover of a genuine hard-core Christian mail-order gospel album; making little decisions about the set he and his band of honky-tonk gypsies will play tonight; ordering up a carefully nutritious chicken dinner from the kitchen bus that travels with his five-vehicle caravan, then forgetting to eat it; talking business with little haste or waste of words or energy, on the radio telephone at his elbow.
The business concerns the usual megastar matters — movie promotion, investment opportunities, the touring schedule, a $1.5 million book contract — but also something seemingly out of place in this context: the Farm Aid cause, Mr. Nelson's foray into public service. Cocooned amid Tampa's concrete consumerism, the former Bible salesman, and latter-day multimillionaire is taking time to help the family farmers of his country fight back against government policy, big business and the economics of scale.
There is something rather special about Willie Nelson. It was he, after all, who united the rednecks and the hippies and the surburbanites of the 1970s in appreciation of a style of country music considered both archaic and impossibly uncommercial by the Nashville powers-that-were. Likewise his image — a lovely blend of longhair, cowboy, rebel, hardcore party legend and wise old man — is suggestive.
It's no wonder he's such an institution. You can look up to some entertainers (Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Paul McCartney), but Willie invites involvement, not distance. The dominant element of his stare — a thoroughly savvy serenity — is mighty trustworthy.
That invitation to trust must have been part of his image all along. Certainly it was during his late teenage years, when he was already trying to get ahead in the world by promoting dance concerts throughout east Texas, earning his percentage from acts like Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, Milton Brown and the Brownies, Spade Cooley, and the legendary Ernest Tubb while he watched from the wings and learned the ropes.
It also impressed the folks in the Nashville big leagues after Willie had decided to forgo his studies for the Baptist ministery in favor of a full-time career in the hillbilly highway nightlife; you need a lot more than even the kind of devasting song-writing talent Willie possessses to become a primary source for the Music Row hit machine the way he did in pretty short order. And when eventually his ambitions outstripped what Nashville was willing to offer and he made his legendary end-run around Music Row, his aura so impressed the college hippioes of Austin, texas, that not too long after he'd been among them they began to buy posters proclaiming, "Matthew, Mark, Luke and Willie," and to enshrine them in their places of fun and meditation.
A Nashville executive describes his experience: "It was amazing, just wonderful," says the Nashville executive. "I've never seen anything like it. Neil Reshen (Willie's manager) was so bad — I mean, you really wanted to have the man arrested; the secretaries used to run for the bathroom when he showed up. But when you talked to Willie, it was like negotiating with Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and you were so relieved you didn't have to deal with Neil that you gave Willie whatever he wanted. But, of course, what Neil wanted and what Willie wanted were the same things. They were working the good cop, bad cop routine, the oldest con in the world, but they did it so well you didn't realize what was going on till it was all over. And by then you'd done a deal you'd never have even dreamed of otherwise. Willie just outplayed me, and he ended up getting what he really deserved. And all that means is he's smarter than I am. He just has to turn that smile on you, and you're hooked. But now I take him seriously. He may be beautiful, but he's not dumb."
Such a man — with his hard-earned combination of country compassion, common sense and carefully honed business skills – would have been the perfect choice if American farmers had gone looking for a leader in their hour of need. That's not how it happened, though. It was Willie who went unbidden to the farmers.
September 1985 was when it began, in Champaine, Illinois, as a notion kicked around between Willie and his crew in the wake of Bob Geldof's Life Aid marathon. As Willie recalls, in the low-to-vanishing key for which he is renowned, "I have no idea how it got started. I was just sitting in the bus…."
Like a large proportion of the projects Willie judges worthy, the 14-hour Farm Aid benefit moved from the idea to action with little further ado. It was set up with minimum fuss and executed with slightly less toll and craziness than usually attends a mammoth outdoor music festival featuring multiple major entertainers. (Which figures. After more than a decade of organizing and hosting his legendary Fourth of July picnics, Willie is perhaps the world's premier mastermind of such events.) When it was all over — when Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, Alabama, Billy Joel, Kris Kristofferosn, Bon Jovi, Joni Mitchell, Waylon Jennings, Kenny Rogers, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, John Cougar Mellencamp and some 45 other acts had done their thing and the TV viewers who watched them had sent in their donations — Willie and his crew suddenly found themselves in temporary possession of a great deal of donated money.
That came as something of a shock. "I figured people would respond," says Willie, "but not nearly as well as they did, and as all that money started rollin' in, I had to rethink my position. I realized I had to do a lot more than make some calls and go out and sing. My name was attached to that money, so by necessity I had to take responsibility and decide that I would be the one who writes the checks. So that's what happens, nothing goes out without my signature on it. And so far, I know that every quarter of that money has gone to benefit the family farmer in some way."
After Farm Aid One in Illinois and Farm Aid Two, held in Austin on the Fourth of July, 1986, the approximate total for which Willie has taken responsibility is $14 million.
And Willie doesn't just sign the checks, he approves them.
"He makes the final decision," says Caroline Mugar, the director of Farm Aid (Willie is Chairman of the Board). "We just do the research on what's going on, who's doing what where, what they hope to do and how they've used the money they've already gotten, and we make recommendations Then Willie decides."

How to play Willie Nelson's, 'Still is Still Moving to Me' (Guitar Center lesson)Friday, November 29th, 2013
Be extra Thankful! It's Shoeshine Friday!Friday, November 29th, 2013
Willie Nelson photograph, by Annie LeibovitzFriday, November 29th, 2013
Willie Nelson,photograph by Annie Leibovitz,
Willie Nelson lives on the road. So it made perfect sense for him to just park the tour bus on the street outside Annie Leibowitz 's studio sometime in the middle of the night before the shoot. (We got the permit.) By his own account, the 70-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer is tough and stuborn and knows what he wants. When asked if he would like to put on one of the many cowboy hats that had been collected for him, he said, "You mean as opposed to the one I'm wearing?" leaving little room for discussion.
He's also a charmer, an elequent poet, a songwriter, actor, Farm Aid Co-Founder, and golfer who, in his 40-year career has made records and performed in concerts with practically everyone — including Frank Sinatra, Keith Richards, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow and Julio Iglesias. One of his favorite duet partners is Norah Jones, and at our shoot these two very private stars were clearly pleased to have some time to sit next to each other and catch up. Later, posing duties over, Willie got back on his bus to go to New Jersey for a show on the never ending tour that is his life.

Remember last summer wehn I wrote about how my insurance agent set me up with a new auto insurance policy and that by doing so, I was going to save $800 per year? If not, you can read about it here. The only difference that I could tell between the new policy and my old policy was that the new one was a 6-month policy while the old policy was for one year.
I got my renewal in the mail this week. It looks like I'm going to have to give back some of that savings.
The renewal premium is $731, which is $84 more than my policy from 6 months ago. It doesn't seem like that much of an increase but if they do this to me every six months, I ain't gonna be happy! If I annualize the new premium, it makes premium $1,462 per year, which is still a lot cheaper than the old policy.
I asked the agent about this and she said that Travelers raised their rates and that my renewal reflected that. Now I know why the insurance company went with a 6-month policy! Every six months they have an opportunity to raise rates.

Utility Spotlight: Optimize and Analyze Your Web Site
If maintaining a Web site is part of your charge, you know it's a challenge balancing ease of use with SEO initiatives. The IIS SEO Toolkit can help.
Lance Whitney
It's a challenge to keep your Web site both user- and search engine-friendly. When you're in charge of your organization's Web site, you're always looking for tools that can track down broken links, find missing content and ensure that your pages have the right search engine optimization (SEO) tags. If you're using IIS to manage your site, Microsoft offers a free tool designed specifically to help with optimization and analysis.
The IIS Search Engine Optimization Toolkit integrates directly with IIS 7 or 7.5. It helps you take care of three basic tasks:
- Run a site analysis with reports and customizable queries
- Design and manage sitemaps to submit to search engines
- Maintain a robots.txt file to tell search engines which pages to ignore
You can download the IIS SEO Toolkit directly from its page at the Microsoft Download Center. There are two versions: IISSEO_x86.msi for 32-bit Windows and IISSEO_amd64.msi for 64-bit Windows.
After you download and install the file, simply run IIS. Among the different modules will be a new icon in the Management group called Search Engine Optimization. Double-click the SEO icon, and you'll see options for those three basic tasks.
Expert Analysis
Site Analysis starts with an initial analysis of your site. Create a name for the report and enter your site's full URL, including the "http." Click on Advanced Settings to narrow the results by specifying the number of URLs to include and the maximum download size per URL. You can also set the level of authentication needed to access certain content.
The tool will then conduct a full scan of your Web site. The entire process will take several minutes or longer, depending on the size and depth of your site. After the scan is complete, it will generate a summary report showing you the total number of items downloaded, links scanned, violations found and other data. You can then drill down through some of the specific findings.
Click on the Violations tab to display any problems the tool has found, like improper HTML or CSS tags and missing or incomplete SEO information (see Figure 1). Double-click on a specific violation, and it will display details indicating the exact problem, the code in question and recommended actions. You can also view the pages with the most violations and the violations by category—content, SEO and HTML standards.
Figure 1 You can determine the nature of any violations within your Web site code.
Click on the Content tab to break down pages on your site by type, such as text, PDF and image file. You can see specific problems, including duplicate files, broken links and missing content. Again, double-click on a specific item, such as a URL or content type, to bring up a host of details that can help you zero in on specific problems.
The Performance tab analyzes the speed of your pages, specifically the size of each page and how long it takes to load. Finally, the Links tab examines all the hyperlinks on your site—which pages have the most links and which ones are kept from search engines through a robots.txt file.
The tool automatically saves each report you generate, so you can easily return to any of them and compare against others. You can also export reports as CSV files. After you've generated a report, you can create a number of customized queries to find specific data. Building a new query is simple—just choose a field name, an operator and a value.
Let's say you want to see how many JPEG files are on your site. Choose "Content Type" as the field name and "Equals" as the operator. Then type image/jpeg as the value (see Figure 2). If you needed to know if a particular SEO keyword is missing from any of your pages, you could create a query with Keywords as the Content Type. Choose Not Equal as the operator, and then type that keyword as the value.
Figure 2 You can save your queries, and export them as CSV files.
Sitemaps and Robots
Besides running reports and queries, the IIS SEO toolkit lets you create an XML-formatted sitemap. You can submit this to the major search engines to make sure they crawl the right content on your site. When creating a sitemap, you tell the tool which URLs to include and how often to refresh the file based on the frequency of your content changes. You can create multiple sitemaps, as well as a sitemap index—a collection of individual sitemaps.
Finally, the tool also helps you build and maintain a robots.txt file. You can set this up on your site to tell search engines which URLs they shouldn't crawl. You can easily create disallow and allow rules to determine which content gets indexed. You can also view the entire robots.txt file within Notepad.
Overall, this IIS SEO Toolkit offers a nice array of features to help you manage and maintain your site. It helps you do so with your visitors and search engines in mind. The smooth integration with IIS makes the tool both powerful and easy to use.

Late last summer, Mikey Weinstein broke up a fight between Crystal and Ginger, the guard dogs trained to protect him and his family from a violent reckoning with Christian zealots. For the 55-year-old civil rights activist committed to ridding the US military of religious intolerance, it was a refreshingly secular and evenly matched bout. Weinstein is, after all, famously combative, both pugnacious and profane, with the bearing and sensibility of a mastiff. In the end he prevailed and peace was restored, though at the price of some bad scratches on his arms and a hole in his right hand where a well-aimed canine had struck.
Only wags and heretics would suggest that such a stigmata-like wound places Weinstein in the company of another Jewish prophet who spoke truth to the legions of an imperial power. At the very least, however, his journey from corporate lawyer to patriarch of a tribe of persecuted minorities is worthy of an Old Testament morality play. For the past half-decade, the Air Force Academy alum has labored to reverse the currents of Pentecostalism that course through the US military in general and the Air Force in particular.
It is an asymmetrical struggle, an endless round of Whac-a-Mole with a network of fundamentalist groups that would otherwise level the wall separating church and state with the help of supine, if not complicit, Pentagon top brass. In the battle over the meaning and implications of the First Amendment, Weinstein has staked himself at the fault line between the free-exercise clause and the establishment clause, which simultaneously preclude Congress from legislating a state religion and guarantee freedom of worship.
"The free-exercise clause does not trump the establishment clause," Weinstein says from the living room of his home, a tastefully designed adobe ranch house in Albuquerque. "Our Bill of Rights was specifically created not for the convenience of the majority but to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. From that perspective it is absolutely imperative."
Since he established his watchdog group, Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in 2005, Weinstein has built a client base of more than 20,000 mostly Catholic and Protestant—as well as Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, atheist, and gay and lesbian—members of the military. For them, Weinstein and MRFF are the only recourse for servicemen and -women who have been either punished for their faith or subjected to fundamentalist proselytizing in violation of military guidelines.
Consider, for example, the ferocity with which Weinstein and his undermanned crew of mostly volunteer staff reacted to the Air Force Academy's recent invitation to Marine Lt. Clebe McClary, a controversial evangelical Christian, to speak at a prayer luncheon. In a January 22 letter to the academy, MRFF argued that McClary's "intense, unreasoned and psychotic demonstration of unilateral and distorted Christian doctrine" would define the luncheon as "a revival meeting with the purpose of proselytizing and achieving Christian supremacy." Weinstein then worked the media, landing notices about MRFF's complaints in the Washington Post, The Raw Story and DailyKos. He urged groups such as the ACLU and Veterans for Common Sense to pile on and, on January 31, after the academy refused to budge, he filed a formal complaint in federal court demanding that the academy cancel its luncheon "on the grounds that it is a blatant violation of the plaintiffs' Constitutional rights as guaranteed by the First Amendment." (As The Nation went to press, a federal district court was set to hear MRFF's request.)

MONTREAL — The Farewell Homecoming can wait. Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said he intends more working visits to his native city following tonight's game against the Canadiens.
Still, even though the body and spirit are willing, a long lockout next season could mean tonight becomes Brodeur's last game in Montreal.
The 39-year-old goaltender said he doesn't know if fans around the NHL will care when he hangs them up, although he felt it was important for him to attend Wayne Gretzky's farewell game.
"People in different situations, like Gretz, did it. For me, it's never crossed my mind," Brodeur said. "Wayne Gretzky is hockey in my era. It was important to be there."
But for himself, Brodeur said, he has no idea.
"I don't know what people are going to feel about these things," he said.
Brodeur surely will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and will retire with the NHL records for victories (645), shutouts (117) and games (1,170). Even Rangers fans acknowledge his greatness. If he takes a Farewell Lap, it will be a celebration.
But not yet.
"I don't have the feeling that I'm not going to play next year. It's not like I'm going there all nostalgic," Brodeur said. "It could be, possibly, the last. I hope not. We'll see."
Brodeur admitted the thought of a last lap around the league had crossed him mind, particularly when he opened 5-7 and struggled through a shoulder injury.
"I was thinking about it the last game I played [in Montreal on Dec. 17]," he said. "It could have been that one.
"I don't have that attitude right now, that it's going to be the last one."
Brodeur said his epiphany came during the Devils' road trip through Western Canada in January.
"I was thinking about it going to Calgary and Edmonton. Now I don't feel like that," Brodeur said.
When he returned from that trip, Brodeur told The Post he was leaning towards playing next season, although he had been decidedly ambivalent previously.
Now he's 15-6-2 in 23 games and 6-1 in his last seven. The Devils are 21-8-3 in 32 games and challenging for a home-ice playoff berth.
"It's both me and the way I feel, the enthusiasm and fun we're having together. I'm enjoying this," Brodeur said. "It could be terminated for me at the end of the season, so I'm enjoying every moment."
Brodeur stands 20-12-1 in Montreal during the regular season according to Elias Sports Bureau, and 42-18-5 combined against the Canadiens, with nine shutouts.
How many more victories he adds to those figures may depend on forces beyond his control.
* Coach Pete DeBoer said Travis Zajac has yet to resume skating after aggravating his surgically repaired Achilles tendon in December. DeBoer said he spoke to Zajac and was encouraged he will start his comeback again shortly.
