All hands were on deck as several law enforcement agencies teamed together to rescue hikers trapped on the side of a cliff near the New York-New Jersey state line.
The Palisades Interstate Parkway Police Department received a call shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, from a hiker reporting that she was part of a four-person group that was lost in the woods on the side of a cliff.
Police said the caller reported that they were unsure of their specific location and were unable to move on their own. First responders eventually tracked the group and located them near the Lamont Doherty Observatory in a precarious spot.
The officers made verbal contact with the hikers by accessing the cliff through Lawrence Lane, though responding officers were unable to reach them due to the steep terrain of the cliff.
Marine units from the PIP Police Department, Westchester County Police and Rockland County Sheriff's Office were each dispatched to the scene and crews were able to eventually hike in and reached the hikers by rappelling down, bringing them to safety.
Following their rescue, police and the hikers were checked by paramedics for cold weather exposure, though all refused medical aid. The scene was eventually cleared at approximately 12:30 a.m. the following morning. No injuries were reported. The entire rescue took an estimated six hours.

On duty EMTs from Pennsylvania Ambulance had a different type of "emergency" when a young man needed help with his tie for prom.
Mary Terrinoni shared a photo on Facebook of her partner Jared Bryer stepping out of their truck to help the young man with his tie after he approached the truck.
"My heart was pretty full watching my partner step in to help him out. This is what it's all about'" Terrinoni wrote in the post.
By 10 a.m. Thursday, the photo was shared over 4,000 times.
Jared Bryer didn't think much about the interaction. "I felt fine," he said, "I haven't tied a tie in a while."
Terrinoni enjoyed the interaction, according to Bryer. "When I got back in the truck she was giggling," he said, "I didn't even know she took the picture."

This tech tip from Sean McBride of ITS (if you need any help using this feature, please call the helpdesk at x7293):
We have recently deployed a newly added security feature within the Google Apps Email system. It specifically designed for email that has a "spoofed" or fraudulent email from: address that may state it has been sent from a user within the @augustana.edu domain. This tactic is normally employed by spammers and the like to attempt to circumvent normal spam blocking sweeps. Now any email that has originated from our augustana.edu Google Apps email system is digitally signed with an electronic water mark and users can now check their own email if they have doubts as to the validity of the item.
Below is a screen shot with the newly added signed by security field highlighted. By hovering over the "down arrow / triangle" after the list of recipients in an open email a "Show details" popup will appear, clicking it will bring up the mini window pictured in the screen shot below. The user can then see whether this email was digitally signed by our Google Apps system.

If you think for MAME4ALL, I suppose that is is not possible, because MAME4ALL is based on very old MAME.
Anyway I never try to develop something with network for Dreamcast.
The question is: Haw many people uses modem today? and, How many people have a BBA? I think that it is not a lot of people.
But maybe I could develop network play for some multiplatform game at far future and play with people that uses other platforms.

A Call for Annulment of APA's PENS Report
Over the decade since the horrendous attacks of 9/11, the world has been shocked by the specter of abusive interrogations and the torture of national security prisoners by agents of the United States government. Although psychologists in the U.S. have made significant contributions to societal welfare on many fronts during this period, the profession tragically has also witnessed psychologists acting as planners, consultants, researchers, and overseers to these abusive interrogations. Moreover, in the guise of keeping interrogations "safe, legal, ethical and effective," psychologists were used to provide legal protection for otherwise illegal treatment of prisoners.
The American Psychological Association's (APA) 2005 Report of the Presidential Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security (the PENS Report) is the defining document endorsing psychologists' engagement in detainee interrogations. Despite evidence that psychologists were involved in abusive interrogations, the PENS Task Force concluded that psychologists play a critical role in keeping interrogations "safe, legal, ethical and effective." With this stance, the APA, the largest association of psychologists worldwide, became the sole major professional healthcare organization to support practices contrary to the international human rights standards that ought to be the benchmark against which professional codes of ethics are judged.
The PENS Report remains highly influential today. Negating efforts by APA members to limit the damages – including passage of an unprecedented member-initiated referendum in 2008 – the Department of Defense continues to disseminate the PENS Report in its instructions to psychologists involved in intelligence operations. The Report also has been adopted, at least informally, as the foundational ethics document for "operational psychology" as an area of specialization involving psychologists in counterintelligence and counterterrorism operations. And the PENS Report is repeatedly cited as a resource for ethical decision-making in the APA Ethics Committee's new National Security Commentary, a "casebook" for which the APA is currently soliciting feedback.
Equally troubling, the PENS Report was the result of institutional processes that were illegitimate, inconsistent with APA's own standards, and far outside the norms of transparency, independence, diversity, and deliberation for similar task forces established by professional associations. Deeply problematic aspects include the inherent bias in the Task Force membership (e.g., six of the nine voting members were on the payroll of the U.S. military and/or intelligence agencies, with five having served in chains of command accused of prisoner abuses); significant conflicts of interest (e.g., unacknowledged participants included the spouse of a Guantánamo intelligence psychologist and several high-level lobbyists for Department of Defense and CIA funding for psychologists); irregularities in the report approval process (e.g., the Board's use of emergency powers that preempted standard review mechanisms); and unwarranted secrecy associated with the Report (e.g., unusual prohibitions on Task Force members' freedom to discuss the Report). These realities point to the impossibility and inadequacy of merely updating or correcting deficiencies in the PENS Report.
We the undersigned organizations and individuals – health professionals, social scientists, social justice and human rights scholars and activists, and concerned military and intelligence professionals – therefore declare that the PENS Report is illegitimate. We call upon the American Psychological Association to take immediate steps to annul the PENS Report. At the same time, in our own efforts, we aim to make the illegitimacy of the PENS Report more broadly known within our communities.

The chair sat in the corner of the living room. It wasn't a confy cozy chair so it wasn't used often, but it was a beautiful mahogany arm chair small in proportion and delicate without being dainty. The seat was covered in a deep purple velvet. Usually no one used the chair but that changed on Thanksgiving. The chair was occupied by a lady named Lorraine. I don't remember if we called her Aunt or not but we probably should have. (She was almost 10 years older than my dad.) Lorraine came for Thanksgiving almost every year in the 1950's. She had short curly salt and pepper hair and usually wore a beige silk dress with a white lace collar. She sat in the corner quietly waiting for dinner. If you went over to talk to her she would discuss her hobby of collecting matchbooks. She had an extensive collection which she would display in local libraries. I never knew just how she was related to the family but it was enough that she was there. It seemed almost that the chair was there just for her.
Much later, after I began doing genealogy, I discovered that she was my dad's cousin and a niece to my grandmother. Lorraine Henrietta Burbach Gist was born in Febrary 1901 to George and Rose Schmitt Burbach in Milwaukee, WI. She probably was married in Milwaukee to Mr Gist, and sometime after 1951 she moved to the Chicago area and died there in 1985. Sadly my father died in 1959 and his mother in 1960. Unfortunately, we lost touch with that side of the family which only makes finding the details more difficult.

Neighbors in Cambria Heights are fighting the proposed expansion of a popular Orthodox Jewish synagogue — citing rude worshipers and an increase in disturbances.
The Ohel Chabad Lubavitch plans to build a structure in its backyard expanding the main building and connecting four nearby houses, which it owns, to create additional space for worship and overnight stays since followers can't drive home on Sabbath.
Hundreds of congregants visit the synagogue daily to pray and visit the grave of the former leader, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, and his father-in-law Rabbi Yosef Schneerson, which is located in the Montefiore Cemetery adjacent to the buildings. On the anniversary of Schneerson's passing that number could be over 30,000 visitors, according to Community Board 13 District Manager Lawrence McClean.
There is currently an insulated tent behind the house that connects the four houses and leads to the grave. The plan will expand this and make the structure permanent.
However, residents and community leaders are standing firm against it.
"This is a residential area," said Ann Miller, who has lived in the neighborhood for 32 years. "Our quality of life is affected."
Community members like Miller allege that by creating the expanded building the number of congregants will balloon, creating piles of trash and traffic congestion as followers look to park their cars in the blocks surrounding the synagogue.
The community and the synagogue have had a rocky relationship in past years.
McClean said residents have found followers parked in their driveways and scraps of trash on their lawns after services and events.
"The community was so badly trashed in the early days that they have emotional scar tissue," McClean said.
Residents are concerned that the expansion will amplify problems with an increase in the population and hope the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), which has the final say, blocks the synagogue from obtaining a variance to bypass residential zoning rules.
The upcoming public hearing on May 15 will be the fifth time the BSA will meet about the expansion and McClean thinks this is a result of the panel not trusting the plan. "Ninety percent of the time the BSA approves an applicant, but because they've spent so much time they are waiting for the Ohel Chabad to work with the community," McClean said. "The perception is that they have not been working with the community."
Although many residents are against the expansion, The Courier found a resident living nearby who wasn't bothered by it.
"I believe that everyone should be able to practice their religion. There are so many churches in this neighborhood alone. To me it's a welcome change."
Abba Refson, director of the Ohel Chabad, refused to answer a reporter's questions, saying, "because the case is pending we don't want to comment at this time."

Taking a golf lesson to the course can be a challenge. Making a swing change on the range is difficult; on the course it is even tougher. The range is the frying pan, the course is the fire. Because the golf course has many distracting obstacles, the tendency for most players is to revert back to their natural movements or habit patterns. The purpose of making a change is to hit better shots, to bring it to the course you need to have a solid routine. There are three key points to a good routine that will allow you to take your new action to the course.
>> Find a PGA golf instructor
First, once you have decided on the club and the shot, make a rehearsal to establish the proper feeling. Your mind may know the swing you want, however your body doesn't. A rehearsal is a motion or drill that is an exaggeration of the new move being learned and must be done on every shot. Tiger Woods never hits a shot without making some kind of motion beforehand to create a feel.
Next, stand behind the ball to pick an intermediate target and visualize the shot. The intermediate target is a spot on the ground, which could be a blade of grass, divot, old tee, etc., within a few feet of your ball. This spot helps with your aim and alignment, but can also help with your swing change. For instance, if you were a slicer (right handed) you would visualize a draw, curving right to left around the intermediate target.
Finally, commit to the swing feeling you rehearsed and the shot you visualized. Do not try to control or steer the shot. I always say, "Be willing to lose your golf ball." This means you are not afraid of the result and are more concerned with the process of hitting a good golf shot. Jump in with both feet and make the new swing motion you are learning. The more you take on this attitude the faster you will get where you want to go.

The Central Connecticut football team will host Saint Francis U at Arute Field on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils (1-4) and Red Flash (1-3) met at Arute Field last season with CCSU earning a 32-30 victory. This season's meeting will be broadcast live on ESPN3.com.

Here are some notes on the Blue Devils heading into Saturday's game:
Today's Game
It is Homecoming Weekend in New Britain and the Blue Devils of Central Connecticut are opening Northeast Conference play with the Red Flash of Saint Francis U. The Blue Devils (1-4) are coming off a 42-7 loss to Rhode Island of the Colonial Athletic Conference last Saturday. Saint Francis (1-3) also lost last week, falling to Fordham of the Patriot League 38-20. Today's game features two of the top running backs in the NEC and Division I FCS in CCSU's Rob Hollomon and SFU's Kyle Harbridge. The duo currently ranks first and second in the NEC in rushing yards and rushing yards per game. Last season, the Blue Devils earned a 32-30 victory over the Red Flash with Hollomon running for 207 yards and three touchdowns.
NEC TV on ESPN3.com
Today's game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.com as part of the Northeast Conference's Football Television Package. Veteran NEC TV broadcaster Paul Dottino will have play-by-play duties with former NFL player Jeff Feagles serving as the analyst in the booth. Another veteran of NEC broadcasts, John Schmeelk, will serve as sideline reporter for the game.
Up Next for CCSU
The Blue Devils next game will be Saturday, Oct. 12, at Sacred Heart. CCSU fell to the Pioneers, 34-21, in a wild game last season, which was also a road game for the Blue Devils. Following the Sacred Heart game the Blue Devils will have a week off before hosting Salve Regina on Oct. 26. With a road game at Wagner to follow on Nov. 2.
Series History
This is the 21st meeting of the football programs of CCSU and SFU. The Blue Devils have posted an impressive 17-3 record over the Red Flash, including a 10-0 mark at home. In addition, CCSU is 6-1 against Saint Francis under head coach Jeff McInerney.
100+ Rushing Yards
The Blue Devils have rushed for 100+ yards in 28 consecutive games. The last time CCSU failed to reach 100 rushing yards was Nov. 6, 2010 against Robert Morris.
Last Season's Meeting
Last season CCSU and SFU met at Arute Field on October 27. The Red Flash jumped out to a 13-0 lead, but CCSU captured the momentum on SFU's second PAT attempt. CCSU's Chris Linares blocked the kick attempt and returned it for the Blue Devils' first points of the game. Rob Hollomon had one of the best games of his career with 307 all-purpose yards, 207 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Nick SanGiacomo threw for 212 yards and a fourth quarter touchdown to help CCSU to the victory.
Last Homecoming
Last season the Blue Devils entered Homecoming with an 0-5 record, but the squad came ready to play and knocked off Duquesne 38-31.

A new book called " Confessions of a Sociopath; A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight," written by pseudonymous author M.E. Thomas, describes what it's like to be a sociopath — someone who lacks the ability to feel or sympathize with others.
Sociopaths can be sexy and beguiling; they take risks the rest of us don't and come across as bold and exciting. Socially, they are often leaders, the life and soul of the party.
[Answer these questions to see if you're a sociopath]
The downside is that they regard others to be used, don't feel sympathy, empathy or guilt, and are often one step away from becoming what psychologists used to call psychopaths: criminally vindictive types whose only motivation is to take advantage of weaker people.
In her book, Thomas describes many disturbing episodes from her own life, including the time she let a baby possum drown in her swimming pool because she couldn't be bothered to fish it out with the net. In another chapter, she describes a recurring dream in which she kills her father with her bare hands — because she hates him.
Thomas is also a successful law professor, married, and teaches Sunday school. Or so she says — grandiose lying is one of the characteristics of being a sociopath.
Psychologists have changed the diagnostic definition of sociopathy several times over the decades. It used to be called being a "psychopath." Sociopath is the newer term. More recently, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition has renamed the condition " Antisocial Personality Disorder" and reduced it to seven main characteristics.
However, the first researcher to name the concept of psychopathy was Dr. Hervey Cleckley, who published a book titled "The Mask of Sanity" in 1941, Thomas writes.
Cleckley noted that psychopathy was difficult to diagnose precisely because it presents itself without the obvious symptoms of mental disorder. Psychopaths and sociopaths are often a bit too rational.
In her new book, Thomas says Cleckley's 16 behavioral characteristics hit home. "Nowhere else have I recognized the sociopath inside me more than in Cleckley's clinical profiles," she writes.
Here are Cleckley's 16 characteristics. Ask yourself if they apply to you.
There's no surefire way of self-diagnosing yourself as a sociopath, as sociopaths also tend to lie in tests like these.
But if you recognized yourself or others in these questions, you might want to seek professional help.
Thomas points out that many sociopaths do not want to end up in prison, or as psychotic outcasts. They can use their skills to be successful in business, in ways that less single-minded people cannot.
They're just not your friends, is all.

Log in
Kalamazoo's government has had several homes over the years. The first structure built for the purpose was Corporation Hall, which was erected in 1867 and located on the west side of South Burdick Street, today's Kalamazoo Mall, between South Street and Michigan Avenue. It was an all-in-one civic building, also housing Kalamazoo's fire and police departments. Combining departments under one roof was common for communities the size of Kalamazoo at the time. The presence of the fire department gave the building its nickname, "Quick to Rescue Hall." Throughout the years, Corporation Hall also housed the Ladies Library Association, the Kalamazoo Public Library, and the Kalamazoo Board of Education.
Corporation Hall was completed at the cost of $14,500, a significant sum at the time. The Kalamazoo Gazette credited much of the success of the project to Allen Potter, future village president and city mayor. Potter had been charged by a committee of the village's Board of Trustees to superintend the construction of the building. He performed this task to such satisfaction that the village gave him a $300 engraved silver service expressing its gratitude.
Corporation Hall was one of the finest examples of Italianate architecture in Kalamazoo. The building's façade featured red brick, rusticated stone, pediments over the doors and windows, and an overhanging cornice. The ground floor was dominated by three large doorways for the different fire companies, above which the names of the companies, Burr-Oak, Empire, and Excelsior, were carved. Just below the cornice three large stones were engraved with additional text. The southernmost stone read "Always ready", the center stone "Erected A.D. 1867", and the northern stone "Prompt to the Rescue." The building's most distinctive feature was its massive cupola that towered over the roof and lent that section of Burdick Street a hint of elegance one wouldn't expect on a commercial avenue.
In 1884 Kalamazoo grew from a village to a city. As a result Corporation Hall became Kalamazoo's first city hall. However, as the city grew, so did demands for space. Gradually Corporation Hall became overcrowded. In 1905 the fire department moved into a new central fire station further south on Burdick Street. The fire department's former space on the ground floor was taken over by various city departments and the large doors were replaced with windows. In 1914 the police department followed suit and moved into a new headquarters building on Water Street. Corporation Hall ceased to be multiuse and was now entirely occupied by the city offices. Increasingly the building was referred to simply as City Hall.
Corporation Hall's time as a dedicated city hall was short lived. By the early 1920s the city sought a larger home for its offices. On 1 May 1925 the city moved out of Corporation Hall and into the newly purchased Frank Milham and Frank Orcutt homes. The Milham home stood on South Street at St. John's Place and the Orcutt home behind it on Lovell Street. The city's occupancy of these former residences was intended to be temporary. After five years work began on replacing them with a new permanent City Hall building on the same site, which is still used today.
After the departure of government offices, the city retained ownership of the property and leased it for commercial use. The first tenant was the J.C. Penney Company, which first occupied the building in 1925 and remained there for the next thirty years. The building's appearance was drastically altered in that time, including the removal of the cupola and the original Italianate facade. From Burdick Street it appeared to be an entirely new structure.
By the 1950s many in city government felt it was time for Kalamazoo to get out of the real estate business and to sell any properties that were not being used for public purposes. The former Corporation Hall fell under this category and its sale was particularly attractive due to its location in the heart of Kalamazoo's retail district. The property was viewed as too valuable to hold onto. The issue was first raised in 1952 but quickly became controversial. Action was held up for several years as city commissioners debated the property's value and the wisdom of selling it.
In 1956 the J.C. Penney Company moved south to a new location at the corner of Burdick and South Streets. The city government debated the future of the property, and the idea of selling the property was again raised. A buyer was promptly found and Corporation Hall was sold to the Mangel Stores Inc., a nationwide department store chain, for $300,000. This was considerably less than officials thought the property was worth five years earlier, but the sale put the property on the tax rolls.
The new Mangel store offered departments for women, men, and children, spread throughout the building's two floors. To update the new store, an extensive renovation was carried out. The interior was decorated in pastel colors, and tiles, which were common decorative motifs in the 1950s. The Penney's-era façade was completely removed and replaced with a windowless wall of tan brick. The building now had its third and final face.
The Mangel store occupied the site for the next eight years, leaving in 1964. After their departure the space was split into multiple storefronts and housed a number of businesses over the years. The final tenants included the Athena Bookstore, which moved out in 2005, and the Soup Kettle restaurant, which closed in 2009.
In 2011 Corporation Hall was demolished for a new retail and residential development. The new building bears the name of its predecessor, but with the exception of the stone foundations, the entire historic structure was removed and replaced. The new Corporation Hall is a mixed-use development, housing retail on its ground floor and condos on the upper levels. It reflects a growing demand for residential space in the central business district.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Lisa: Blair Warner
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have.... Blair Warner, bitches! Blair m*tha f*cking Warner! (I used asterisks because I know she's a devout Christian and I don't want to offend her) When I was a wee speck of the magnificent woman you see before you now, I wanted to be Blair Warner. Blair was where my world began and ended. Hey, little kids become obsessed with things and, other than Barbies and roller skating, Blair was my obsession.
From the first moment I watched Facts Of Life, I was captivated by the lovely Miss Lisa Whelchel. Back then, I only knew her as "Blair" (which is how I'll be referring to her all season long in my recaps) and in my young impressionable eyes, she was perfect. She was beautiful, rich, popular, and she went to, what I thought was, the coolest school in the world - Eastland. Naturally, I begged my mother to let me go to an all girls private school too. She probably thought her precocious child was pining for an excellent education and sound religious training, but no... I just wanted to be like Blair Warner and wear a uniform. And wear uniforms I did... year in and year out. All the way up until I graduated high school. Thanks Blair.
So, now that you know a little about my weirdo childhood obsession, it should be no surprise to you that I will obviously be rooting for Lisa Whelchel. How could I not?! I know she's Christian and I know she's pretty passionate about it, but she's still Blair Warner. I gotta give my girl some respect.
No more rambling. Let's get to it. Lisa is 49 years old and currently lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband and three children. She admires and respects Oprah and wanted to be on Survivor because she's a huge fan of the show. Plus, she wanted to meet the lovely and fetching Dimples (Jeff Probst). Who doesn't? She doesn't care for people who judge others *looks around the room innocently* and insists that she was BORN to play Survivor. She plans on approaching the game by looking at the big picture and then assessing what steps she needs to take to accomplish her goals and get the job done. She also thinks Jo is a grease monkey and probably hates the shoes you're wearing right now. Awesome.
Tootie, cue up that video! Please to enjoy:
Will you look at those delicious "to the sky" eyebrows? I have a new fondness for lethal looking eyebrows thanks to that crazy loon called Danielle over on Big Brother 14. Bad Botox and all, I still love you Lisa. I am definitely looking forward to the scene when everyone looks at each other and elbows one another in the ribs going, "Is that Blair Warner? OMG that's Blair Warner!" I hope they don't hold it against her and keep her around for at least a few weeks. Look, I have no disillusions about her success in the game. She may not last very long, but that's OK. It's just fun to see Blair again in a new environment. She's not going to be a villain and I never expected her to be one. I can see her playing more a motherly role - especially to the younger girls. Oh Christ (sorry Lisa), I really hope those pageant idiots don't look to Lisa for guidance and align with her. Of course, knowing my luck and how nothing ever goes my way on these shows, she'll be besties with Angie and Katie and my understanding of good and evil, hot and cold, and up and down will be shot to hell.
So, what do you guys think of Lisa/Blair? Were you fans of Facts Of Life? Will you die of happiness if she says at any point in time, to her alliance, "I just had another one of my brilliant ideas"? Comment it out bitches!

I so see you as a Jo girl and not a Blair girl.ReplyDelete
Loved the show but Blair was my least favorite of the girls.
I love you Mrs. Garrett!!!Replies
Jo?!? You're crazy. I'm not a tomboy. I was very much a girly girl. I'm not froo-froo or anything today, but I'm also not a no make-up wearing chick with a ponytail who wears tennis shoes with jeans. Blech!Delete
Lol That was exactly the response I was expecting. It was more of a fuck you I do what I want attitude that Jo had that I see in you but apparently that came after your girly girl development. I will concede you are probably a perfect balance between the two :pDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2013 at 9:01 PM
In your denial of Jo, you just described me to a T. lmao. No makeup, jeans, tshirt and tennies, and a ponytail every day. :DDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2012 at 4:41 PM
I was a big Blair fan too as a kid, but now Im hearing and reading things about some child rearing book she wrote and thinking she could be a villain isnt such a distant dream. Maybe she'll use some of her methods on the pageant girls.ReplyDelete
BTW....the security words you have to type to post our comments are brutal. Im about to try my 4th one and Im not a robot >:-(
I can totally see you as a "Blair" girl considering the GLITTER and such....and of course the "bitchy" aspect. I on the other hand was a "Jo" girl as I was a rip roaring tomboy and never grew out of it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2012 at 5:05 PM
Lisa and Sarah and Avi are my Favs of the girls. And now I feel like I have been pushed into a pool of happiness. Let the season begin!!!!ReplyDelete
I was a tomboy, but I still loved Blair myself...the hair..the hair had me mesmerized. I love that she took the Survivor route though because she just seems lovely. I was gonna pick her for the fantasy game, but I'm afraid they will get rid of her early, but I still love her. lolReplyDelete
Maybe you could put these perceptions of how we all see you to rest if you gave us a sneak little photo of yourself. Even one from when you were like 15 would be better than nothing. You see all us on Facebook, right? Seems fair.ReplyDelete
- InTheVoidSeptember 18, 2012 at 5:47 PM
LaLa, I think you would be a combo of Blair and Nat (because of the writing)!ReplyDelete
I have actually been watching reruns of TFOL lately, just brings me back to my childhood again, when I actually believed I could be like Blair or Jo (I thought both were "pretty", but I liked Jo's attitude back in those days).
Excited to see how she does. Kind of bummed Colton isn't back with the previously injured group though, I guess it was too soon?Replies
I like how you qualified the Nat remark with "because of the writing!" LOLDelete
I've been watching the reruns too. They were playing them weekly on The Hub. I have no idea if they still are.
- InTheVoidSeptember 18, 2012 at 8:39 PM
Yes, on Wed. nights @ 8 then rerun later in the night.Delete
I like that comparison as well and I agree. So to sum it up I think it's fair to say that Lala is Blair , Jo, Nat, and Trudy combined. She encompasses all of the special traits that we loved from each of these characters that we grew up with and admired with a touch of don't mess with my girls attitude from Mrs. Garrett.Delete
I post the weirdest things when I'm drunk. What a kiss ass!!Delete
You should drink and comment more often!Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 19, 2012 at 2:11 PM
OMG, I wish they would've just cast a very special "Facts of Life Reunion Survivor" season. Would that not be FABULOUS!?! Imagine if they could get Clooney!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
- InTheVoidSeptember 19, 2012 at 2:49 PM
Anon I was thinking the same thing!Delete
To have at least all 4 girls (maybe even the stragglers from the first year who didn't make the cut for the later seasons...Molly Ringwald!).
I guess if they did that it would kind of turn into the "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" kind of thing, so maybe not.
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2012 at 11:45 PM
OK--Love Blair and hope she makes it far in the game. If they ever do have a TFOL Survivor Reunion, they HAVE to get Blair's mentally challenged cousin Jerri in there. No joke. I loved how she was this stand up comedian that everyone embraced! Good times. Not sure if Mindy Cohn (Natalie) would be up for it, though. She is busy providing the voice of Daphne in the Scooby Doo cartoons........ReplyDelete
Can't wait for this season--I told my husband to stay the hell away from me while I sit happily by myself with a bottle of wine and watch these episodes and follow up with Lala's comments. Absolute heaven to a mother of three young kids--I think Survivor and this blog are the only things that connect me to my single life! I know that you are not religious, Colette (and Lord knows, neither am I!) but God bless you, your sense of humor, your amazing writing ability, and your love of alcohol. Cheers, Bitch!

The Ocean Institute is preparing to celebrate 10 years of jazz.
The anticipated weekend of fine food and fabulous music will take place on Feb. 3-4 at the institute's Dana Point facility. Organizers will partner with radio station 94.7 The Wave and anchors Pat Prescott and Kim Amidon to raise needed funds to support the ocean-orientated educational programs provided year round by the Ocean Institute.
As in years past, producer and performer Rich Braun, an internationally recognized trumpeter and composer, will be joined on stage by pianist David Benoit and saxophonist and vocalist Mindi Abair.
The two-night celebration kicks off Feb. 3, with a reception hosted by Pear Valley Vineyards and Il Fornaio Restaurant. A jazz concert will follow, and tickets are priced between $115 and $145 per person. Of the two performance nights, Friday is the more casual, however, reservations are required.
On Feb. 4, the grand gala gourmet dinner and show begins with a cocktail reception hosted in part by the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort and the Balboa Bay Club & Resort, with the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach sponsoring a martini bar.
More than 200 guests are expected to attend the gourmet dinner and concert, which will feature a four-course epicurean taste extravaganza prepared by celebrated local chefs representing Orange County hotels and resorts, including The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel; Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa; St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa; and the Montage.
The jazz concert follows dinner with a 9 p.m. showtime. Tickets to the big night are priced at $500 per person, with special benefactor and patron tables available. Again, reservations are required.
Co-chairing the event for the 10th year, Tim McMahon will once again join with Jens Von Gierke in helping to produce a mega-successful weekend of jazz and culinary delights. Over the decade, the celebration has raised more than $735,000 supporting the educational programs that have reached more than 115,000 students and public visitors annually.
Organizers recently invited VIP guests to a "tasting" party at the Montage to show off what is being prepared for the Feb. 4 gourmet dinner.
The late-afternoon gathering began with passed canapés prepared by Krisztian Karkus, executive sous chef of the Balboa Bay Club & Resort, and Chef Pierre Albaladejo of the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad.
For dinner, a salad of arugula, goat cheese winter grapefruit and smoked almond vinaigrette was prepared by Chef Rob Wilson of the Montage.
To the delight of the "tasting" crowd, two entrées were served: pan-seared jumbo sea scallops, prepared by chef Andres Jimenez of The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel; and petite prime sirloin, courtesy of chef Erasmo Rodriguez of the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa.
To learn more about the Ocean Institute's 10-year celebration and gala and to purchase tickets, visit http://www.ocean-institute.org, or call Eileen Hayden at (949) 496-2274 ext. 413.
THE CROWD runs Thursdays and Saturdays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

The data management discipline known as data integration (DI) has undergone an impressive expansion over the last decade. Today it has reached a critical mass of multiple techniques used in diverse applications and business contexts. Vendor products have achieved maturity; users have grown their DI teams to epic proportions; competency centers regularly staff DI work; and DI as a discipline has earned its autonomy from related practices like data warehousing and database administration.
Given all this change, it's not surprising that people in the field might not be up to speed on the current incarnation of DI. Even DI specialists and the colleagues who depend on them sometimes forget the new techniques, diversity, independence, collaboration, and governance typical of modern DI practices. Many suffer misconceptions and out-of-date mindsets that need adjustment.
The 10 practices in this slideshow, from a TDWI report sponsored by SAS, paint a modern landscape of current DI practices. They also bust a few DI myths that are still too common. Moreover, they raise the bar on DI, showing how sophisticated and powerful a DI solution can be—at least when DI is driven by modern best practices using up-to-date tools.
If you let it all soak in, this checklist will redefine DI for you and your peers. And it will help you set higher goals and aspirations for DI work and its outcome. The practices listed here can be the guidelines that help you achieve more modern, high-value, diverse, independent, well-designed, far-reaching, green, collaborative, and well-governed uses of DI tools and techniques.

During a recent trip to the grocery store I noticed that my favorite granola bars now have 25 percent less fat. However, upon arriving home with the newly purchased granola bars and comparing them with my remaining old ones, I discovered the reason for their lower fat content — the new bars were smaller. Feeling tricked by the food company, I swore I'd never buy these bars again (well, at least until the sting of the food company's deceit fully leaves my memory).
It's easy for food manufacturers to deceive consumers with marketing and confusing labeling. Even if they weren't trying, though, it appears it wouldn't take much to cause confusion. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed in an online poll by Harris Interactive and the Wall Street Journal say that they regularly read food labels. However, few people understand what they are reading. According to a different survey of 200 primary care patients, 68 percent of those asked could not correctly calculate the amount of carbohydrates in a 20-ounce bottle of soda that contained 2.5 servings. Those who had the most trouble were people with low literacy or math skills. Other low performers (although some of them might be included in the previous group, too) were overweight individuals with chronic illnesses — just the population that most needs to understand the labels.
My first thought upon hearing about this survey was, what school did these people attend that they can't do basic math? But then I decided to look at this as an opportunity for you — a fitness professional. If 51 percent of people read food labels but only a small percentage of them know what the labels mean, they need an educator. Who better to educate them than the local fitness facility down the road with their own registered dietician on staff?
Perhaps fitness facilities can take a cue from grocery stores, 72 percent of which are offering customers some type of nutritional guidance, according to a Food Marketing Institute survey. A grocery store chain in New England has rated the food it sells using a star system. Food products deemed healthy are given one star. Those evaluated as a little healthier are given two stars, and those considered the healthiest are given three stars. Food products with no nutritional value receive no stars. The store uses guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to rate the food. The chain gives points to a product for meeting the recommended levels of nutrients and takes away points for "bad" ingredients, such as sugar and saturated fats. So far, the chain has evaluated 27,000 food items. It may not surprise you that only a quarter of those products earned at least one star. That's a lot of "bad" food in our grocery stores.
Even if the grocery stores in your area already provide nutritional guidance, customers still need to know how to put all these foods together for a well-balanced diet. If you partner with a grocery store in your area to offer a seminar or informational table at the grocery store or if you pass out flyers in each grocery sack about your own healthy eating/label reading seminar at your facility, then you can be the information source for potential members of your club. Even if they never join your facility, won't you feel better knowing that perhaps you've helped set someone on the road to healthier eating and a healthier lifestyle?

This episode looks at national debts as sneaky taxes, and why protectionism should be one of the most holy words in our vocabulary. Asks, if we owe on loans without our consent, are we really free? Referencing the radio series Wizards of Money by "Smithy," does an in-depth analysis of FICA, the tax that pays for Social Security and Medicare.
Demonstrates how FICA made the income tax less progressive, and why those who can't afford their own insurance are paying the most to extend the lives of seniors. Proposes an alternative that would provide free reproductive, pre-natal, and pre-school healthcare, so the right to life doesn't end at birth.
Finally, compares the budget of the Roman Empire in 150 CE and the 21st century US Empire, including the most expensive provinces for each: Judea and Egypt. Updates the parable of the talents to the modern terminology of IMF loans and corporate kickbacks.

Canonical this month released Ubuntu 7.10, codenamed Gutsy Gibbon. Like the Feisty Fawn release before it, Gutsy is a bleeding-edge distribution with a focus on new features and the newest free software applications. It's a speedy operating system with great new features and only a few minor issues.
Ubuntu comes in three main flavors. Ubuntu features GNOME as its desktop, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu ships with Xfce. Other derivatives of Ubuntu include Gobuntu, which contains only free software and no closed source elements, and Edubuntu, which was designed for use in classrooms.
All three main flavors of Gutsy feature the same installation methods as earlier versions. You can boot Ubuntu as a live CD that includes a graphical installer, or set it up via an alternate installation CD, which allows for advanced options during a text-mode install. With version 7.10 there is now an option to encrypt your hard disk during the installation when using the alternate CD. The live CD installer is probably the easiest operating system install program I've ever used.
Powering my test machine is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ processor, an Nvidia 7300GT video card, and 2GB of RAM. Anyone with standard hardware and around 256MB of memory should have no problem running Gutsy.
I installed the 64-bit release of Gutsy. As with the previous release, installing a binary video card driver to enable hardware acceleration on my machine was a breeze. When you start Ubuntu for the first time, the Restricted Driver Manager will inform you if a binary driver is available, and you can install it if you wish. Ubuntu detected my Nvidia GeForce 7300GT immediately. After I enabled it and rebooted my machine, I was able to take advantage of the full power of my video card.
In 7.10 Ubuntu automatically enables Compiz Fusion, which allows for 3-D candy, providing the video card installed in the system supports hardware acceleration out of the box. If not, then Ubuntu will enable the effects automatically the next time the computer is started with a binary driver installed. The 3-D effects come in two levels: Normal, the default, which enables only some effects (such as compositing, shadows, and animated minimizing) in order to keep the used resources at a minimal level, and Extra, which allows for the most effects (such as window wobbling, animated workspace switching, and transparency). Compiz Fusion offers a few usability enhancements, such as being able to scroll through your workspaces with your mouse wheel. I don't feel that the effects are worth the extra hit on system resources, so I usually keep them turned off. Surprisingly, even with desktop effects enabled, performance while playing 3-D games on my system didn't seem to drop.
When it comes to games, I installed Neverball, Frozen Bubble, Tux Racer, Chromium and Doom 3 and each worked as expected. Doom 3 actually ran a bit faster on Gutsy than it did on Feisty.
The core installation of Ubuntu 7.10 this time around includes a user switching tool that you will see on your taskbar. This is useful if you have more than one person using the system. With just a few clicks and a password entry, you can use the machine without logging off the current user. The Tracker search tool, which indexes your files for faster searching, is also included by default.
Ubuntu's installation of Firefox was been given some new features, especially aimed at easing the installation of add-ons and plugins. I tried to view a Flash-enabled Web site without having the Flash plugin installed, and Ubuntu offered to download and install it for me. In previous versions, I had to do this by hand when I use the 64-bit version, where some common plugins are not available. Firefox not only installed the Flash plugin, it also installed nspluginwrapper as well, which is a wrapper that allows a 32-bit Flash plugin to work within a 64-bit browser. This all worked without a hitch, and in just a few minutes and mouse clicks, I was up and running with a 64-bit Firefox and 32-bit Flash plugin. In addition, a new option, Get Ubuntu Addons, has been added to Firefox's Add-ons window. This new feature allows you to use APT within Firefox to download commonly used plugins such as Adblock and Tabextensions.
Ubuntu bundles GNOME 2.20, the latest version. New GNOME-specific features include a backup feature for Evolution, a way to leave messages for a user in gnome-screensaver when a screen is locked, syntax highlighting in gedit, and a consolidation of the various theme options into a new applet called Appearance. GNOME 2.20 is the fastest version of GNOME I've used yet.
Security has also been stepped up in this release. All three main flavors of Ubuntu now include AppArmor, a security framework implementation designed to make your computer more secure. The developers' goal was to make this framework transparent to the user, and they seem have succeeded, since I didn't notice it was there. AppArmor works in the background, restricting applications' access to certain components of the operating system in case one gets hijacked.
On the down side
Unfortunately, Ubuntu 7.10 is not without its share of glitches, some minor and some major. For example, Rhythmbox sometimes plays music marred by static, and other times a speaker or two may stop working for no apparent reason. With Amarok, I did not have those issues. Even though this bug was reported before Gutsy was released, it's still resident in the final version. A recommended "fix" for this bug was to lower the main volume slider to anything other than 100%, but this did not fix the issue for me.
Another minor problem I ran into was an extra folder being saved in my home directory every time I created a launcher on my GNOME desktop. The folder was named "file:" and seemed to have no apparent purpose. I reported this bug before Gutsy was released, but it's still a problem in my freshly installed system.
In addition, after a few reboots, the user switcher tool refused to load, forcing me to to remove it in order to stop it from displaying various error messages. This problem seemed to happen after I installed the binary driver for my video card.
Finally, the official Ubuntu Forum is full of messages from users with Nvidia cards who are suffering from random freezes. This bug is not one that the Ubuntu developers missed, because it's a bug with a closed source driver. Regardless, this glitch does somewhat hurt the reputation of an otherwise solid release. I would have preferred that the developers shipped an older version of the driver while Nvidia works out the bugs. If you plan to install Gutsy, check the official forum first to see if there are any known issues with your card.
While I did experience a few glitches, the new features of Ubuntu 7.10 outweighed them for me. It's not a perfect release, and it does feel somewhat rushed, but it is a step in the right direction that will ultimately lead to a more stable long-term support release this spring. This version of the famous distribution runs like a champ on my machine, faster than any previous release, with a plethora of new features that are sure to please novice and advanced users alike.
