ArcSoft PhotoBase or something similar
is what you use to open the ABM files. Right-click file, choose Open With, and select the program from the list. If it isn't there, click Browse and find the main ArcSoft executable file and choose it. Click the check box for "Always use this program to open this type of file".
if the ArcSoft or similar product is no longer installed on your system, you need to re-install it.
This is assuming, of course, that these files were meant to be opened by double-clicking on them.
CCleaner: The REG file backups are stored in your My Documents folder. Right-click the appropriate file, select Merge. If you want to see what is in a particular file (e.g., to check that it is the backup for ABM associations which were removed), right-click the file and choose Edit.
I am part-way there but still need help
I must have uninstalled the Kodak Picture CD software at some time in the past and that is what was needed. I got out the CDs that those photos came on and the Kodak Picture CD volume 5 issue 1 software along with Apple Quicktime 5 was on the CD and it installed.
But I can't figure out how to open the photos off my drive with it. I was able to select options to save new pics like the ones on that disc as JPG files. Cool! I guess I will leave that box in Registry in cCleaner unchecked from now and never delete Unused File Extensions.
But now I really need to figure out how to access these 6 old album folders with the software.
I see ArcSoft folder in Program Files
Thanks. But no I am not sure what to do. If I right click one of those albums in My Documents/My Albums and choose Open With, I don't see ArcSoft listed. So if I click Browse and find the ArcSoft folder in Program Files, what is the executable file to open them with and where is it? I can't seem to find one that I can try. I see 4 folders in ArcSoft called Funhouse, Photobase 3, Photoimpression 3 and Photoimpression 1.6 and I have looked through them all I think.
I don't know the software, but
use whichever program it is that builds Albums.
Play with the Kodak application suite, and find out how to make a new album - I suggest it is PhotoImpreesions Album.
The executable file is generally one with a custom program icon, and the name ends with .exe.
But it is strange that the extensions were not re-associated when you re-installed the applications. You may want to check in PhotoImpressions for options that will do this for you - associate certain file types with the application.
Note also that the ABM files are usually just a database, and that you would still need the actual images referred to in the database still on you drive.
Try this: copy one of the ABM files to your Desktop. Change the extension from ABM to TXT. Try to open it in a text editor, and it should give you valuable hints as to the application which created it, etc.
If you cannot see file extensions, you need to enable these. If you are using, for instance, Win XP, you do it this way:
In a Windows Explorer window, Tools &rarr Folder Options → View tab → un-check "Hide extensions for known file types".
Thanks Sean - still working on this
I have tried most of your suggestions but unfortunately I am confused with what I find on my pc. I read the CD's readme.txt and it says that you need Apple QuickTime 4.0 or greater in order to create a KODAK Picture CD Picture Postcard or Road Show. I can't figure out a way to build Albums using the Kodak Picture CD program that I have. I have played with the Kodak application suite, and can't figure out how to make a new album or if it is even possible.
The only .exe file that I find just starts the KODAK Picture CD which only seems to display pics that were downloaded directly from a KODAK picture cd.
I made these album copies many years ago and I don't remember if I was ever able to view them.
You said "Note also that the ABM files are usually just a database, and that you would still need the actual images referred to in the database still on you drive". I don't know anything about this and I am not sure how to solve it. Can you fill me in on this?
I keep running into an issue when trying to deal with this. If I do a search for the two albums that the Kodak Picture CD program can view, which are different from the 6 that I want to view, the search program in my WinXP finds them in c:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\Recent but when I look in c:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\, I don't see a folder named Recent. The closest named folder is My Recent Documents, but clearly the Search process says just Recent.
If I could find that Recent folder (I couldn't by manually looking or doing a search), perhaps I could just copy or move those six files into it and they would be next to the two albums that do show up in the Kodak Picture CD program, and perhaps they would just be visable then using that program.
"Recent" is just shortcuts to documents
They are what show up under the Start Menu → My Documents. It shows the recently used documents, so you must have found them somewhere previously.
Quicktime may or may not be necessary for viewing albums.
As to the database nature of ABM files - they are just text files which list the images in the order in which they should be presented, along with any effects/transitions which might be called from the album application.
So, if you do copy an ABM file to your Desktop, rename it from AlbumName.ABM to AlbumName.TXT, you can open the file in Notepad (double-click it) and see the application name which you need to open the album, as well as the list of image files in the album.
This will be your best way to find out which program created those albums - maybe it isn't even from that particular Kodak CD, but possibly some other application.
Arcsoft Software used to come with Digital Camera's and some Scanners
So if you have had any of these that you removed recently that is where I would start looking.
Photobase and PhotoImpressions defiantly came with a entire range of Digital Camera's and some scanners.
Not sure about FunHouse as I've never seen it but when I supplied some Specifically requested hardware the remainder of the listed ArcSoft Software often came with the device.
I'm on the way to getting this resolved
I contacted ArcSoft and was told to get their PhotoImpression 6. It has a built-in converter that will convert those ABM files to JPG files. I've downloaded it but I haven't tried to convert yet. I will post an update after I do the converting.

Gram Dal chutney and A Tribute to Chef Jacob
Earlier this week, the day dawned like any other and with my morning dose of caffeine in hand, I picked up the newspaper to catch up with what is or rather what went about in the world. The supplement of the paper is the one I read first and this header caught my attention -
Jacob's Kitchen No more
For those of you who are new to Jacob's kitchen, here's what it is. The Chef – Jacob hosts a cookery show in one of the regional channels and he is quite famous for cooking in some exotic or shall I say, rather unusual sites. I have seen him cook near water falls, inside a cave, on a railway track, in a plantation, in a orphanage, a temple and so on…, with local people watching him cook in front of the camera. I never miss this show that is aired on Saturdays at 1pm.
So when I saw this title, I assumed that the show came to an end. But I was shocked when I read the news piece that followed. Chef Jacob passed away on Sunday due to a heart attack. What jolted me even more was that he was just 37 years old! Fate sure is cruel.
I was distraught. Perhaps it was because I loved his show, or maybe we share a foodie passion or perhaps I could not digest the fact that he is not around anymore…. A couple of years ago, dad got the chance to watch him cook at a restaurant nearby . Dad called me up to say how it went about . I had missed him then and wanted to see his show live sometime later but now I know that can never happen...
The thing I loved about his show is that he is bubbly personality and involves the local watching his show in tasting and commenting on the dish he prepared in front of them. Also there is a diet section where a Doctor shares with us some medicinal value of an ingredient and cooks a simple dish in his kitchen. Then comes a segment with little ones cooking. He gives them some ingredients and shows them how to go about and demonstrates while the kids cook side by side listening and watching him. Then he visits a hosts home and the host cooks a dish and he gives his comment...
Chef Jabob is not only famous for this TV show but also holds the Guiness record for the longest one-man barbeque. He did a lot of research in ancient cuisine and never backed out from experimenting new techniques as well.
As a tribute to the person whose death moved me so much, I am cooking a dish inspired by this personality for this week's Blogging Marathon with the theme – Cooking with chickpeas / chana dal / Indian brown chick pea.
This recipe , a chutney , prepared with gram dal / kadalai paruppu / kadale bele / Bengal gram / channa dal and is taken from his book - which is written in Tamil.
In this recipe, the chef's note says that Green chilies are good for health and also helps reduce the body heat. Gram dal chutney goes well with steamed rice with rasam and also curd rice.
I used :
Gram dal- ¼ cup
Green chillies- 2
Grated coconut - 2 tablespoons
Garlic- 4 cloves, chopped
Asafoetida powder a pinch
Tamarind – a small piece / ¼ teaspoon extract
Curry leaves – a few
Salt to taste
Oil- 1 teaspoon
Heat oil in a pan and sauté the garlic till soft. Drain the garlic and keep aside.
In the pan pan roast the dal till light brown, add coconut, green chilli, curry leaves and switch of the flame and mix everything together.
Once cooled, grind to a coarse paste with garlic, tamarind, asafetida and salt.Add water while grinding but take care not to make it watery.
Serve with steamed rice / curd rice…
In the original recipe the ingredients are ground as they are i.e. raw. Since we are not a fan of raw galic I sautéed that and also roasted the dal.
This tastes good with steamed rice and rasam too...

Are You Stressed Out?
Is stress an epidemic or is it just that I seem to be encountering stressed out people lately? Either way, it motivated me to take a look at it. Maybe I want to be ready if it was heading my way! Stress often leads to a bad mood and who wants that! As a coach, I just happen to have a "Stress" folder with lots of interesting articles. Here are some tips that seem helpful.
Step 1
Be a detective. Investigate yourself. Ask:
- What's really bugging me?
- What am I afraid of?
- Am I avoiding something? What?
- Is there more than one thing going on? If so, try to address them one at a time!
Step 2
Calm down or "chill out" (as others may be telling you!) Try this:
• Deep Breaths – Take 3-10 to help restore the balance in your nervous system.
Step 3
Put some strategies in place that can prevent or minimize the stress triggers.
• Make a choice to be calm and peaceful.
• Lists are helpful in listing your concerns and possibilities for solutions & actions.
• Visualize your happy picture, what you want the situation to be like.
• If it's too big for you to handle on your own, talk to a professional therapist or coach to create strategies for dealing with stress.
Stressed out? Next time you feel the muscles tighten in your neck, stomach, or chest, try some of these tips and let me know how it worked for you. email@example.com

So this is the story of the Goddess Venus who is surprised by somebody whilst she is taking a bath.
This is a popular subject with Green Sculptors was designed for you to walk around to admire her, each angle will give you a different perspective without revealing anything.
What I really like about this is how the sculpture shows a mature woman, with lumps and bumps and all
The dimples on her back are exquisite. I love that area, and its surprisingly ignored by so many women. Its a truly lovely attractive and amazing place…
the slight bulge of the tummy and the beginning of the muffin top is so cute while she crouches on the water jar under her left bum cheek.
She wears an arm ornament but nothing else. Flanked by the remote two giant statues from Persia
the sculptor has caught the fact that the toes will spread wide to balance and the splayed fingers showing shock and surprise is quite amazing.
And then the frontal view, seeing the piled up hair..beautiful indeed..

"Dozens and dozens of times as (Whitmer) was writing out this faithful history -- commanded (to be kept) by the Lord Jesus himself -- he would say, 'Joseph the Seer said,' or 'the revelation was given to Joseph the Seer,'" Holzapfel said. "It struck me that the early church members knew Joseph in a way in which, maybe, we don't appreciate."
Holzapfel, a professor of church history and doctrine at BYU, told the class at Education Week why Joseph was known as "the Seer" and why his use of a seer stone to receive revelations eventually ended.

Uniform Options
With the booming security and law enforcement programs now in place across the country it is important to have the team looking its best at all times. This could be a very difficult task but if you take the time to look for an expert supply company you can get all the supplies you need in one convenient location. The law enforcement supply website I recently found has been offering a complete assortment of supplies and uniforms for years. They pride themselves on superior customer service while offering it's customers competitive pricing and fast shipping in as little as 1 - 5 days with warehouses across the country. The website is easy to navigate and is secured with McAffee you can quickly find all the florida police supplies you might need. The site also offers a convenient 90 day return policy to allow you time to receive and try out your order to be sure it will fit properly.

Visiting Student Blogger
One of the best parts of being on exchange in a country I'd never visited before was the chance to explore all of it! Ireland is a beautiful country with a lot of history and atmosphere to absorb (and best of all, a lot of castles). Here are the spots I was lucky enough to visit over my time here, to provide you with a little bit of inspiration.
Malahide is a small seaside town that's a quick ride on the DART train away from Dublin. There's a castle, so of course I was interested!
It makes a nice spot to visit if you want to get away from the bustle of Dublin for a day and walk around a slightly more relaxing atmosphere.
Cork and the Blarney Castle
Although I unfortunately didn't have much time to explore Cork, it looked like a nice city that was smaller, but quite similar to Dublin. (Anyone who has actually spent more time there, feel free to disagree!)
However, the Blarney Castle, as one of Ireland's top tourist destinations, is not to be missed!
There was (as with almost every other major tourist destination I visited over this exchange…) construction being done while I visited, but the grounds were also gorgeous.
I also kissed the Blarney Stone- I haven't noticed any change in my eloquence yet, but I'll keep you posted!
Howth is another lovely seaside town (sans castle, for once). If you hike up the hill, you can get splendid views of the Irish coast!
There are also a ton of seafood restaurants, if that's your style. (And, more to my taste, a lot of beautiful photo opportunities!)
Galway's main claim to fame comes from the song "Galway Girl", which every tour bus that I took in Ireland played.
The town isn't much of a tourist destination itself- when my friend and I asked the tourist office what we should do for the day, all their recommendations were day trips outside the city- but it is definitely cute, and makes a great departure point for…
The Cliffs of Moher
This is Ireland's top tourist destination. I think it also featured in a book I read once. (Maybe? I read a lot of books…) Either way, of course I had to go!
Honestly, photos can't do it justice. (Just don't fall off the cliffs- there aren't many fences!) It's a bit far from Dublin (about a four-hour bus ride, ouch), so if you're planning to visit I would definitely suggest combining a visit there with a visit to Galway.
Kilkenny's main highlight was, for me, its castle (what else?). It only cost two euros, so if you're only planning on visiting one castle, I would recommend this one! (But why would you only visit one castle? That's just blasphemy…)
It also had a lovely graveyard (something I'm almost as passionate about as I am about castles), as well as the tiniest tower that I've ever climbed.
The Wicklow mountains is one of the more famous regions in Dublin, because so many movies have been shot there (think PS I Love You and Braveheart). There are beautiful views all around the area, and one of my favourites was the Guinness Lake (which really does look like a pint of Guinness).
You should also take a few hours to hike around the beautiful Glendalough Park- you won't be disappointed!
Dalkey is yet another small, coastal town that's close to Dublin on the DART. (You might be starting to see a trend in my travel preferences…)
It also has a castle. (Preference confirmed.) This castle has the distinction of having the weirdest guided tour I've ever experienced. (I'll leave you to decide whether that's a selling point or not.)
On a less equivocal note, there are some beautiful hiking trails, which also featured a lot of beautiful dogs. (A lot of people in Dalkey have dogs, apparently.)
I also got the chance to see some of Northern Ireland, distinguishable from Ireland mainly in that everything is in pounds rather than in euros (and people have even stronger accents).
Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. It's a smaller city than Dublin, and has a completely different ambience. Although I didn't see many of the political undercurrents that underlie its history, I did see a lot of art.
(I also didn't see the Titanic museum. At this point, you might be questioning whether or not I even went to Belfast…)
But… I did see a castle! (I'm sure this surprises no one.)
This castle, tiny as it was, was one of my favourites because its garden had so many cat statues and decorations. (I am a confirmed crazy cat lady.)
The grounds were also lovely- my friend and I, in my sole athletic activity of this entire trip, climbed into a cave!
Giants Causeway & Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge
The unique rock formations at Giant's Causeway were caused by a fleeing giant.
Or they were caused by hardened lava. You decide, but I think the first explanation is cooler. Another nearby attraction is the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, which connects the mainland to a tiny, tiny island.
It's really not as scary as it looks!
And… that's all! I hope you enjoyed seeing all of these beautiful Irish destinations as much as I enjoyed visiting them, and plan to see at least a few of them over your time in Ireland.

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
— William Blake
Euphrosyne is our guide as we celebrate the harvest season and prepare for Winter's barren time. Now, on the waxing young Moon, is a great time to start batches of magical potpourri to sweeten the closed-in Winter home in the days ahead. The most fragrant and long-lasting mixtures need time to cure before use. So now, using your freshly harvested herbs, is the ideal time to begin.
Of course, as you might expect, when I make potpourris, I usually have a magickal motive. While potpourri is primarily intended to sweetly scent our homes, the fact is, many of the ingredients you might use are terrifically magickal as well. So why not combine your herbs and flowers to produces a powerful charm, while also making your rooms fragrant, too?
Here's one of my favorite simmering potpourris, simply loaded with good mojo, plus the beautiful essence of Autumn:
Mix together 1/4 cup each:
• Dried apple slices – Apple is very sacred to the Goddess, and is the symbol of Avalon, which gets its name from the word "aval" in Breton and Cornish, and "afal" in Welsh – the sacred Isle of Apples. Thus it is associated with love, magic and immortality.
• Dried orange rind – Oranges enhance luck, happiness, love and prosperity
• Allspice berries — sacred to the Masculine Divine, bringer of luck, money and healing
• Cinnamon sticks, broken into smaller pieces: Cinnamon is another masculine herb, full of Sun energy, lustiness, and spiritual power. It brings protection, prosperity and enhances psychic abilities
• Whole cloves — Another money herb, cloves bring prosperity and protection. It is also gifted as a catalyst to energize and enhance the powers of other herbs.
All of these should be readily available at natural foods stores or upscale/gourmet groceries. Then —
• Add clean cedar chips (be sure that they have not been chemically treated in any way). Cedar is sacred to the God and enhances psychic powers while being a strong guardian and protector. It also cleanses negativity, enhances love.
Sprinkle two drops clove oil, three drops cinnamon oil and five drops sweet orange oil (again, available at most natural foods stores, as well as some craft or even metaphysical stores, or by ordering online).
Mix well, making sure to distribute the oils as evenly as possible. Then place it all in a closed container for at least one week to cure. It will, however, be much better if you can let it cure for at least six weeks. Store it in a cool, dark place Be sure to stir it thoroughly at least once a week.
When it's ready to use, place about three tablespoons in a saucepan with two cups water. Simmer on low and bask in the magickal, delicious energies.
(By the way, if you live in my area of NC and enjoyed this, you might be interested in signing up for my Herbal Magick class in November. Go here for details).

Lakes, Lochs & Skinny Dipping
Is it ever possible to feel romantic on a family holiday in October with a 9 month old baby, a puppy and a 12-hour road trip to Scotland? Amidst the inevitable chaos, this is actually one of our most spectacular vacations.
Our journey is broken up with 2 nights in the beautiful Lake District.
Unbelievably this is the first time I have ever visited this tumbling Beatrix Potter land and I've fallen in love immediately. The George and Dragon Pub in Clifton is our chosen home for this stopover. This 18th Century Coaching Inn is pet friendly and perfectly located for exploring. It greets you with open log fires, happy staff, comfortable beds, and a cherished menu of local produce and real ales. Autumn is definitely the best time to visit. The lakes and surrounding hills blaze in the low-lying sun, making our welly walks in the crispy outdoors very delectable.
A friend urged us to explore Borrowdale, arguably the most beautiful valley in all the Lakes. Secret beaches lined with trees and kissing stumps surround the south shores of Derwentwater. You cannot help but stop and breathe in the views, and each other. The water here even tempts one of us for a quick dip. Blood pumping and feeling revitalised, we walk back hand in hand, baby in backpack and puppy trying to catch the soggy briefs drying in the wind behind us. We return to the pub, grab two Bloody Marys and take them straight up to our room, both our babies now sound asleep.
After a long but breathtaking drive we finally arrive in the wee coastal village of Glenelg, Scotland. High up in the mystical highlands, where poets come to weave words and drink whiskey, Glenelg is a place where you can truly escape from the world. Mobile phones are now useless and the winding roads are desolate but has everything you could wish for; A charming pub, a village shop, long beaches and the enchanting Wagon Café just a short bike ride away selling carrot and beetroot cakes, real coffee and local Celtic craft.
Glenelg is also a great location to visit the magnificent Isle of Skye. The Glenelg-Skye Ferry, still just about running this time of year, is one of world's last manually operated turntable car ferries. Some couples even choose to get married on it. After the initial shock of paying £20 return we cross the Kylerhea Strait with seals swimming beside us. Once on dry land, we follow a single road carving through the heather and marsh and continue until we reach the southern point, Aird of Sleat. When the road stops, the hiking boots come on. Again, glorious sunshine spurs us on for a family hike. After about an hour, we reach a cove of soft white sand. With not a sole in sight, just the waves and us, we sit for a while, eating our bananas (and sandy pebbles!) before braving a quick skinny-dip (of course) in the ice blue sea. I can see why this island is one of the best destinations in the world.
Our return drive back to the ferry takes us past one of Scotland's most romantic hotels, Kinloch Lodge. As a surprise birthday lunch, I have booked us a table at its Michelin Star restaurant and try out their new five course Tasting Menu. It is true, Kinloch is wildly romantic. Nestled on the tranquil shoreline of the sea-loch Na Dal in Sleat, surrounded by hills and native trees in a spectacular of colours. It is the highland home to the MacDonald family and is steeped in history and love. Thankfully, the atmosphere at this cosy country lodge is surprisingly relaxed and informal. We feel totally at ease with our young baby and giant buggy in tow, and who at this time is wide awake and wanting to play with the bread rolls. The small prim dining room adorned with silverware, tartan and white linen is charming, as are the lovely people serving us. As expected, the food is delicious.
Maybe it's the right time of year, with few people around, the chilly air outside and the sun always shining – We are worlds away from the bustle, the grumps and the grime. Life is peaceful here. We can now assure other bewildered new parents that a little luxury and fine dining in a romantic setting is still possible. After 9 months of disarray and exhaustion, the intimacy and togetherness as a new family, which this trip has enabled, is what we will take away with us, along with the lakes, lochs and castles, the mountains and the naked views.

So, I wrote yesterday (I'm trying to write everyday for a while) about pussy privilege, and how I understand it, and the parts of my personal ethic that I have created as a result.
Today, I'd like to discuss some of the things I did not say yesterday. The things that go along with that privilege.
I wrote about privilege first, because thoughts of it affect me more, so please don't think I'm whining. I'm not. This writing is more to balance things out and give another perspective than anything. Continue reading "The Other Side Of Pussy Privilege"

|Appeared in
|Series 6
|Point Value
Ceratosaurus is figure #149, from Series 6: the Dinosaurs. It had a point-value of 150, and was re-released in the Secret Skeleton Dinosaurs subseries. Apart from the stance, with the creature leaning on its coiled tail, the figurine is a reasonably accurate portrayal of the genus.
Ceratosaurus meaning "horned lizard", was a large predatory theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period, found in the Morrison Formation of North America, in Tanzania and Portugal. It was characterized by large jaws with blade-like teeth, a large, blade-like horn on the snout and a pair of hornlets over the eyes. The forelimbs were powerfully built but very short. A row of small osteoderms (bony nodules) was present down the middle of the back, providing some armor -- a trait unique among the theropods. Ceratosaurus was an active predator, and its teeth marks have been found in the remains of contemporary dinosaurs.
Ceratosaurus is a fairly popular dinosaur due to its unusual facial features. It has appeared in several movies, including the first live action film to feature dinosaurs -- Brute Force (1914); Fantasia (1940), in which one battles a Stegosaurus; One Million Years BC (1966), in which it battles a Triceratops; The Land That Time Forgot (1975) where it also battles a Triceratops, and its sequel The People That Time Forgot (1977) in which a character rescues a cave-girl from two pursuing Ceratosaurus; and briefly in Jurassic Park III in which it is repelled from attacking the main characters by a large mound of Spinosaurus dung.

Flinders Ranges, South Australia
Approaching the Flinders Ranges in all their magnificence.
The road into Wilpena Pound.
Aren't they majestic?
This is a shot leaving Wilpena Pound but more follows in between these photographs.
Another shot of the streaky rock formations that are millions of years old.
We did four different walks within the Ranges, some more spectacular than others. The one climbing Mt Ohlssen Bagge was the most challenging but we were rewarded with wonderful vistas.

Bulacan launched as next wave city
By: PCEDO
Monday, 19 March 2012
The Province of Bulacan, particularly the City of Malolos, has been included on the Top 10 Next Wave Cities. This is the 3rd year in a row that Bulacan has been recognized by the Business Processing Association of the Philippines and Information (BPA/P) and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) as an attractive destination for IT and BPO investments.
The launching of the "Annual Report on the Top Ten Next Wave Cities (NWC): The Philippines Best IT-BPO Locations" took place on March 15, 2012 at Philamlife Tower, Makati City.
The NWCs or the emerging locations launched by BPA/P and ICTO were Davao, Sta. Rosa, Bacolod, Metro Cavite, Cagayan De Oro, Malolos, Baguio and Dumaguete.
Forty cities were ranked based on talent availability and potential, infrastructure, cost of doing business, and business environment and risk management (BERM)
Speaking at the launch of the NWCs 2010-2011 who have shared their valuable brain waves were DOST Secretary Mario Montejo, BPA/P President and CEO Benedict Hernandez, ICTO Deputy Executive Director Alejandro Melchor III and James Lang LaSalle Leechiu Country Head David Leechiu.
Benedict Hernandez cautioned the government against pushing for the removal of tax perks being enjoyed by foreign firms inside PEZA-registered sites-mostly BPOs.
"If we removed our tax incentive, the situation will worsen," Hernandez said. "The cost of doing business in the Philippines is higher than in India, our country's main rival in the BPO sector".
For his part, Melchor who had presented the 2011 Perfect Storm Report said offering more incentives may give the Philippines a breathing space. "We should extend the tax holiday for at least 8 years like what Malaysia is offering to lure more investors." China and Egypt, on the other hand, offer free rent up to years to draw BPO companies.
Despite the lower average salaries that BPO employees receive in the Philippines, our country remains uncompetitive in terms of cost of doing business due to expensive power rate – said to be one of the highest in the world.
Sharing the same view, David Leechiu said that the ridiculously expensive power rates may unplug the development of new locations for BPO. He called the attention of the industry to really look into this issue. ###

Beverly Kids floating suits

Shop Beverly Kids floating suits
Most of the children like water procedures, especially if they have the chance to swim somewhere, what is bigger, than their bath. Parents are first of all usually concerned about the safety issues. Safety and comfort were thoroughly considered by Beverly Kids when creating kids and baby swimsuits with floats. On the one hand those floats do not restrict the moves of the child, are not able to cause any irritation or discomfort, on the other hand the design of the child swim suits is bright and stylish, which also attracts the attention of the small sportsmen. Cool prints like for example funny penguins would become the best friends for your child during his first experiences with water. For boys there are boyish floating suits by Beverly Kids in contrasting light and dark blue colors with lovely sun emblem on the chest. There are eight floats attached to the suit, which would guarantee safety of your child in the water. Beverly Kids floating suits are situated in such a way, that they provide all the necessary support for baby or elder kid, at the same time causing no discomfort and not limiting the moves of the child. Most specialists agree that this is perfect type of swimwear clothing for children, who are only learning to swim.

A very special outfit today, in a blue color because…we found out that I am expecting a baby boy!
I wanted a more original way to announce it, without having to:
– write on my belly
– show the AWFUL 3D picture of the baby (but why, WHY do doctors show this to future parents? Are you really supposed to find your baby beautiful when you see it?)
– make you guess (not funny, you have 50% chance to win)
So, one more time, I decided to go back to basics, as I always recommend on this blog, and chose to shoot this cute blue outfit. Do you like it?
Pictures: Jean-Pierre (who you can congratulate because not only is he a great and patient photographer, but also the future daddy 🙂 ).
Look details:
I am wearing an H&M Denim dress from SS2014 collection, with a Sandro belt and studded leather jacket (2 years old).
My boots come from Topshop, SS2014 collection.
For the accessories, I am wearing a Bollywood Bazzar studded Pouch, Thierry Lasry glasses, and the jewelry comes from the French boutique Roses and Dreams in Miami.
Lipstick: Hyaluronic Sheer Rouge from By Terry
I hope you enjoy the good news, and see you soon with a new outfit!

Economy suffers record collapse
The Irish economy contracted by 7.1pc last year - the largest fall recorded in a single year, official figures revealed today.
The Central Statistics Office said the value of all goods and services suffered the biggest collapse in history but the rate of decline eased slightly as the year went on.
Gross domestic product fell by more than 8pc at the start of the year but that had reduced to about 5pc by the end of the year.
The value of homegrown business, measured by GNP, fell by 11.3pc over the year.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said the figures were marginally better than the Budget 2010 estimates of 7.5pc decline in GDP.
"Today's figures show that the annual pace of decline in GDP slowed considerably as the year progressed," he said.
"There was a fall in GDP of 2.3pc between the third and fourth quarters. Excluding the impact of the ongoing decline in new house building, GDP was roughly unchanged in the fourth quarter."
Mr Lenihan said he expected the economy to grow after the summer.
"Today's figures are consistent with my Budget Day projections for this year and, as I outlined, I expect that the economy will resume growing in the second half of the year," the minister said.
"Internationally, in many of our trading partners, there are tentative signs that a modest recovery is under way. The Government have taken actions to ensure the economy is positioned to take advantage of this recovery."

Hurley Elementary teacher helps students exceed expectations
ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - FOX 46 recognizes teachers getting results.
The numbers are showing that one Rowan County educator has his students striving for success.
"My last year's class-- we were ranked number one in math and number two in reading in the entire district among fourth grade classes" said Hurley Elementary fourth grade teacher John Galloway.
Last year, his class exceeded growth in both their math and reading end of grade tests.
"Our school exceeded growth with testing last year," said Hurley Assistant Principal Tiffany Eudy. "And we had five teachers in the top twenty for Rowan-Salisbury Schools for reading, math and science."
That includes Mr. Galloway.
"I'm doing everything I can to grow as an educator," said Galloway. "And make sure I'm pushing my students in the right way."
"He does a fantastic job with his students and holds them to high expectations, and is always making sure that no matter where they are in the building, they're meeting his expectations," said Eudy.
There's no question that Mr. Galloway is a teacher getting results.
"Our fifth graders from last year still visit him and he holds them accountable like he did when he was their classroom teacher," Eudy said.
"This is a wonderful job," said Galloway. "I love it each and every day. Coming in, working with the kids, and continuing to push them to do well each and every day."
He wants his students to leave his classroom at the end of the year knowing that with hard work, anything is possible.
"If you put your mind to it and try, you can accomplish whatever you want in life," Galloway said.

Public Administration and Policy M.P.A. Assessment Plan
Mission Statement
Since Aristotle linked traditional inquiry into the political good with empirical comparison of governance, the systematic study of politics has been an integral part of the Western intellectual tradition. The study of politics is recognized as an essential component of a liberal arts preparation for citizenship and leadership in a democratic society. Indeed, the controversies that plague our society' and the world make the study of politics more important now than ever before.
The Political Science Department recognizes and embraces its distinctive roles, as defined by not only the liberal arts tradition of the College of Arts and Science in which it is located but by the land grant origins of the University of Nevada, Reno. At the heart of the department's mission is the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and service.
A core component of the Department's teaching mission is the education of informed, competent, and efficacious citizens. The Department fulfills this role through our Political Science major and minor programs; our three graduate programs; our participation in an interdisciplinary major in International Affairs; and through the participation of our faculty and graduate assistants in the delivery of the University's core curriculum.
The Department encourages the pursuit of excellence in teaching in a number of ways. Excellence in teaching is recognized and rewarded in the annual evaluation and merit process. New faculty are mentored by more senior faculty. All faculty are urged to attend teaching improvement programs and seminars, both on and off campus.
A core component of the Department's research mission is to conduct and disseminate research on timely, relevant and important topics across the discipline of political science.
The research component of our mission recognizes the role that active research plays in supporting the overall curricular efforts of the Department, the College, and the University. The Department fulfills this role through a faculty engaged in individual and collaborative research efforts, the results of which have been widely published by academic presses and in political science journals across the spectrum. Faculty research is recognized and rewarded in the annual evaluation and merit process. Faculty are encouraged and supported in their research projects. Faculty attendance at national and international conferences is encouraged as well.
A core component of the Department's service mission is to provide service to the community. The Department recognizes the assumption of service arising from a land grant institution like UNR. The Department fulfills its service mission in multiple ways. Our faculty sit on numerous departmental, college, university and community boards and committees. Our faculty routinely give interviews to the media on current political issues; offer seminars and public speaking events to the public; and provide advanced training for public managers through our graduate programs. Our faculty engage in applied research designed to identify and cope with various public policy problems at all levels of government. Service efforts are recognized and rewarded in the annual evaluation and merit process. Faculty are encouraged to remain engaged in service activities. Opportunities to serve in Congressional, legislative and public service internships are provided to students. Many of our courses are offered at non-traditional times (evenings, weekends), as a convenience to non-traditional and non-degree-seeking students and the community at large.
In pursuing our mission, the Department of Political Science resolves to:
- Offer high-quality undergraduate degree programs designed to provide students with the critical thinking and communication skills that will allow them to succeed after graduation;
- Offer high-quality graduate degree programs through the Ph.D. level. These programs are designed to serve the need for highly trained specialists in the general area of policy analysis in both the public and private sectors, and to prepare graduate students for careers in higher education.
- Conduct research that keeps faculty at the forefront of knowledge in the discipline, and contributes significantly to the needs of the state and the nation for theoretical and applied research.
- Provide specific training for public administrators through curricular offerings, short-courses, and the Master's of Public Administration and Ph.D. programs.
- Provide a curriculum that gives students at all levels and in all programs an understanding of international and cross-cultural issues, as well as the creative skills to be lifelong learners who adapt and contribute to a world of continuous change.

PLOT (spoiler alert!!!):
Cady Heron is a 16-year-old homeschooled daughter of zoologist parents. They have returned to the United States after a 12-year research trip in Africa, settling in Evanston, Illinois and having Cady attend public school for the first time. New classmates Janis and Damian warn Cady to avoid the school's most exclusive clique, the Plastics, who are led by queen bee Regina George. The Plastics take an interest in Cady, however, and start to invite her to sit with them at lunch. Seeing that Cady is slowly becoming one of The Plastics, Janis hatches a plan of revenge against Regina, using Cady as the infiltrator.
Cady soon learns about Regina's "Burn Book", a notebook filled with rumors, secrets, and gossip about the other girls and some teachers. Cady also falls in love with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, whom a jealous Regina steals back at a Halloween party. Cady continues with Janis's plan to cut off Regina's "resources", which involve separating her from Aaron; tricking her into eating nutrition bars that make her gain weight; and turning Regina's fellow Plastics – insecure rich girl Gretchen Wieners and sweet but ditzy Karen Smith – against her. In the process, Cady unwittingly remakes herself in Regina's image, becoming spiteful, superficial, and abandons Janis and Damian.
Cady hosts a party at her own house one weekend while her parents are away. While intended to be a small get-together, a large number of people show up. While waiting for Aaron to show up, Cady drinks too much punch before finally finding him. She explains to him how she was purposefully failing math just so she could have an excuse just to talk to him, but this only angers Aaron, saying that Cady's no better than Regina. In a moment of panic, Cady vomits on Aaron due to the excessive amount of punch she had earlier. While chasing after an infuriated Aaron, Janis and Damian show up, who are upset that Cady lied to them about not being able to attend Janis's art show that day. Cady tries to explain her motives, but Janis states that Cady has become worse than the Plastics by hiding a spiteful personality behind her cute and innocent facade.
When Regina is finally made aware of Cady's treachery, she responds by spreading around the contents of her Burn Book, quickly inciting a riot. To avoid suspicion, Regina inserts a fake libel of herself in the book in order to blame the only female students not mentioned in the book, The Plastics. Principal Ron Duvall soon quells the riot, and ends up sending all the girls in the school to gather in the auditorium. Math teacher Sharon Norbury, whom the Burn Book slandered as a drug dealer, makes the girls mentioned in the book fess up to the rumors and apologize to the other students and teachers. When Janis's turn comes, she confesses her plan to destroy Regina with Cady's help and openly mocks Regina with the support of the entire school. Pursued by an apologetic Cady, Regina storms out and gets hit by a school bus, breaking her spine.
Without any friends, shunned by Aaron, and distrusted by everyone, Cady takes full blame for the Burn Book. Her guilt soon dissolves and she returns to her old personality. As part of her punishment for lying and failing Norbury's class, she joins the Mathletes in their competition. There, while competing against an unattractive girl, Cady realizes that mocking the girl's appearance would not stop the girl from beating her. She then realizes that the best thing to do is just solve the problem in front of you and ends up winning the competition after her opponent answers incorrectly. At the Spring Fling dance, Cady is elected Queen, but declares that all her classmates are wonderful in their own way, whereupon she breaks her plastic tiara and distributes the pieces. Cady makes amends with Janis and Damian, reconciles with Aaron, and reaches a truce with the Plastics.
By the start of the new school year, the Plastics have disbanded. Regina joins the lacrosse team, Karen becomes the school weather reporter, and Gretchen joins the "Cool Asians". Aaron graduates from high school and attends Northwestern University, Janis and Kevin Gnapoor begin dating, and Cady declares that she is now herself. Regina walks past Cady and smiles, showing that they made peace with each other. Damian witnesses the new "Junior Plastics" walking by, but they are immediately hit by a bus. It turns out, however, that this was only a humorous figment of Cady's imagination.
Anyone that went to high school or junior high (middle school), is more than aware of how clicks and factions can form and, more or less, live to torture and abuse those that aren't in said group. Mean Girls was obviously made to remind us of those days, show us how ridiculous these groups were, and showcase a then super cute Lindsey Lohan (who was experiencing her career heading upwards at this time).
What is this about?
After growing up abroad, brainy teen Cady Heron moves to Chicago and haphazardly joins her new high school's most powerful clique. But there's hell to pay when the ex-boyfriend of the clique's menacing leader shows interest in being Cady's guy.
What did I like?
Lilo. With all her personal problems, we have forgotten that Lindsey is actually a capable actress. The transformation she goes through from awkward girl who is setting foot into school for the first time in her life to a popular girl who dethrones the "queen bee" (not intentionally), and then back down to the awkward girl, but still with the popular girl look. Lohan manages to subtly change her personality so well that you don't even notice it until a big moment happens and you see that she has a different look and attitude about her.
Plastics. A group of girls who talk about everyone, spread gossip, and demean the rest of the school in every way, including the teachers, run things, and they do so while looking hot. This sounds very similar to Jawbreaker, but they don't kill the leader. Instead, these girls are very flawed. For instance, Rachel McAdams' character wants to lose 3 lbs, Amanda Seyfried is an airhead, and Lacey Chabert is insecure. These character flaws make them more relatable, especially for the alleged antagonists of the film.
Debut. Making her big screen debut as a writer, Tina Fey knocked it out of the ballpark with this one. Not only is it apparent that Fey is a brilliant comedy writer (look how Saturday Night Live dropped in quality after she left), but she also penned a film that was female centric. Take notice of how Lohan's character is not a slut, but just your average high school girl who has a crush on a guy. Also, she has a brain, one that is very good in math, of all subjects. Also, Fey's character is one that is a strong female character, as shown in the junior girls assembly that she takes over.
What didn't I like?
Burn book. For such a major plot device, the burn book, which is filled all types of rumors and other mean-spirited things, is sort of forgotten until Rachel McAdams' character pulls it out and decided to use it in a plot to get revenge on her "friends". In high school, I wasn't popular enough to even be mention in a book like this, as far I know, but I still feel uncomfortable that such a book exists. Tine Fey has been quoted as saying that she pulled in many of her high school experiences for this, as well as the book on which this is based, so I wonder whether it was her or the author that has issues with said book. That point aside, this book should have been a major part of the film, in my opinion, but instead, it is just a plot device that appears when it is convenient.
Not Meg. Lacey Chabert is one of those actresses that has been around for a while, but you don't really know why she hasn't become a bigger star. Chabert's insecure character, Gretchen, doesn't really have anything to do but smile and look pretty, whereas Seyfried and McAdams have quirks that make them memorable. This is not to say that Chabert gives a bad performance, but rather than her character isn't as interesting as her friends are.
Grounded. How can you be a parent and now know the rules of being grounded? That's exactly what happens when the father of Lindsey Lohan's character grounds her and then lets her go out. Questioned by his wife about it, he says, "is she not supposed to go out when she's grounded," or something to that effect. Now, this is a guy who looks like he probably grew up in the 50s or 60s, and I would imagine he was grounded his fair share of times or has friends that were. So, I ask again, how do you not know the rules of being grounded? This seemed a little too convenient for Lohan's character to get out of the house with no trouble.
Mean Girls is one of those films that everyone knows, but it still doesn't get the respect it deserves, I feel. This little teen comedy was a nice starring vehicle that helped Lindsey Lohan's career, introduced us to Amanda Seyfried, and furthered the career of Rachael McAdams (she followed this up with The Notebook). Do I recommend this film? Yes, very much so. A lighthearted laugh is something we take for granted and the film delivers many of them.

The Washington Times
Taiwan's President Chen Shui-bian kicked up a fuss earlier this month with his statement that there are two countries facing each other across the Taiwan Strait, China and Taiwan, and proposing a referendum on Taiwan about its future status, including the possibility of independence. China, which regards Taiwan as a renegade province whose destiny is reunification with the mainland, was clearly displeased.
But what is perhaps most striking this time around is how relatively muted the Chinese reaction was, especially in comparison with the bellicose reaction that greeted sings of what Beijing perceived as "splittism" in 1995-96.
Then, in a protracted response to a visit to the United States by Taiwan's then-president, Lee Teng-hui, China launched large-scale military exercises simulating a forceful takeover, including missile tests that overflew Taiwan as the Taiwanese presidential election drew near.
The Clinton administration was never especially worried that the military exercises were a cover for an actual takeover move. But there were serious concerns at the time that a misstep could lead to war. Accordingly, the administration, which had warned China against conducting the 1996 tests and consistently restated U.S. opposition to any forceful attempt at reunification, ordered two carrier battle groups to the area – to send a signal to Beijing and to give the United States military options if necessary.
Beijing reacted angrily to what it regarded as an intrusion into its internal affairs. Sentiment in other Asian nations expressed concern about the potentially destabilizing effects of an American overreaction, which some feared would encourage Taiwanese independence aspirations. But in the event, the crisis waned without war or independence moves.
U.S. policy on China, from the time of its creation by Henry Kissinger, relied on a certain ambiguity in the remaining U.S. commitment to Taiwan. On one hand, China was to be deterred from trying to take over by force by the seeming U.S. commitment to defend Taiwan. On the other, Taiwan was to be deterred from destabilizing actions, including steps toward independence, by the "seeming" quality of the U.S. commitment to its defense – its uncertainty. Deprived of an iron-clad assurance, Taiwan would be more likely to restrain itself.
What the 1995-96 exercise demonstrated was that the U.S. position was too clever for anyone's good. It is clear from Chinese officials' accounts that they did not believe that the United States would defend Taiwan – not until the arrival of the two carriers during the Strait crisis persuaded them otherwise. Likewise, Taiwan did not seem especially deterred by the possibility of U.S. abandonment from taking steps Beijing would regard as provocative.
Thus the irony: China, which was supposed to take our commitment to Taiwan's defense seriously enough to be deterred by it, perceived the ambiguity instead as a cover for toothlessness on the U.S. part. And Taiwan, which was supposed to be deterred by the ambiguity of the commitment, actually took it seriously enough to proceed along a course that would rile Beijing. The two misreadings reinforced the respective wishes of officials in both Beijing and Taipei.
All in all, the product of ambiguity was enough misperception to risk war. The arrival of the second carrier battle group finally persuaded Beijing that the United States meant to defend Taiwan – in other words, that if the time for a forceful takeover ever comes, China must be prepared to fight the United States. And so the Chinese military is preparing for that possibility, as is the U.S. military.
Meanwhile, though, Taiwan has not been emboldened by the now-unambiguous U.S. commitment to its defense to pursue a course of independence. There have been a few outbreaks of "splittism," including Mr. Chen's latest, but nothing too extreme, and indeed, no sooner had Mr. Chen made his comments than other Taiwanese officials began walking them back, with stories appearing in the media that he was speaking off the cuff, hadn't consulted with his national security advisers, etc.
Why was that? Well, China too made its position fairly clear during the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis: A move to independence would mean war. So now, Taiwan is deterred from undertaking such a course, not by the supposed fear of abandonment by the United States, as our policy initially tried to suggest, but by the horrible costs a war with China over independence would impose on Taiwan.
Ambiguity is very clever, of course. But when your ambiguity causes others to reach the conclusion they personally favor about what you are up to, irrespective of your true intentions, then it is time for a dose of clarity. This latest China-Taiwan crisis was the milder for it.

ST. LOUIS — About 7 p.m. Central on Wednesday, a voice will declare on a radio wave transmitted at 1120 kilohertz, "This is KMOX, the voice of St. Louis," and millions of homes from Denver to Alabama and Louisiana to North Dakota will be able to hear Game 6 of the World Series come to life on an AM radio.
The penetrating strength of KMOX, a powerful radio station in St. Louis with a tradition of Hall of Fame broadcasters, has helped turn countless families into Cardinals fans since 1926, when it broadcast its first game.
With a 50,000-watt signal originating from a transmitter across the Mississippi River, in Illinois, KMOX is said to be heard in 44 states and as far away as the Netherlands, East Africa and Guam, spreading the gospel of St. Louis Cardinals baseball across the planet.
The signal stretches to truly remote locales only in rare, static-filled instances. But in a swath of North America, from New Orleans to Canada, the signal could be so reliable at night that an entire region became enamored of the team.
When Jack Buck died in 2002, President Bill Clinton sent a letter to Buck's son Joe, a former KMOX broadcaster and currently Fox's play-by-play announcer, explaining how he had listened to Jack Buck and Harry Caray doing Cardinals games on a transistor radio hidden beneath his pillow in Hope, Ark., more than 450 miles away.
"The power of that station meant so much to countless people across this country," Joe Buck said. "People riding on tractors or sitting on the porch, it was part of the soundtrack to their summer."
Supposedly, it still is, despite the proliferation of televisions and Internet access. But can it really still be heard clearly in other states, without the harsh accompaniment of static and interference from other stations trying to muscle in on the signal? Surely there must be some exaggeration.
To put it to the test, I set out in my rental car Sunday, the day of Game 4 of the World Series, between the Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox, and headed south, the radio tuned to 1120 AM, to see if I could I outdrive the signal before the end of the game. I even left Busch Stadium two and half hours early, wondering if, before long, the signal would deteriorate into a fuzzy, frustrating mash of crossing signals somewhere in southeastern Missouri.
What happened was a 600-mile (round trip), 12-hour, five-state radio odyssey that illustrated, if nothing else, the lasting power of the AM radio band and the usefulness of gas stations, energy drinks and coffee.
Busch Stadium,
4:30 p.m., Central
The signal for the pregame show is strong and clear as I leave the parking lot. Certainly no other baseball writer in the country is heading away from Busch Stadium at this moment. The plan during daylight is to go through the pretty farmland in Southern Illinois — staunch Cardinals territory — then cross back over the Mississippi River into Missouri to accelerate the trip on an interstate highway.
On Route 3, near tiny Red Bud, Ill., 51 miles south of St. Louis, news of Shane Victorino's back injury is transmitted over the car speakers. The weather is clear, and the sun is starting to dip toward the horizon. This is significant. As I go over the big river on Route 150, I hear the first distinct crackles of static.
AM (amplitude modulation) signals are susceptible to interference from numerous objects, especially as they weaken away from their source.
Within minutes, along Route 51 in Missouri, the signal is virtually lost. The car is only 100 miles from the signal tower, and the radio sounds as if it is broadcasting a shower.
"This is going to be a pointless exercise," I say to myself. "I'll be back at Busch Stadium by the fourth inning, looking for a new story idea."
But anyone who has fiddled with an AM radio at night understands that after the sun sets, the whole world comes alive between 535 and 1705 kHz.
AM radio waves have unique properties that allow them to travel round the globe, but their ability to stretch beyond the horizon, instead of shooting off into space, has to do with the way they interact with the upper layers of the atmosphere, called the ionosphere.
According to Professor Arye Nehorai, the chairman of the electrical and systems engineering department at Washington University in St. Louis, the sun's rays ionize part of the ionosphere, called the D layer, during the day, and the layer reduces the strength of radio signals that hit it. At night, without the sun's rays, the D layer effectively disappears, and the radio waves can interact more easily with the E layer, which propagates them more effectively.
"This allows the AM waves to bounce through the ionosphere at night and travel longer distances than during the day," he said.
I-55, Matthews, Mo., 7:17 p.m.
The sun has been down for almost an hour, and sure enough, as the game begins, with the Cardinals broadcasters John Rooney and Mike Shannon calling the first pitch, from Lance Lynn to Jacoby Ellsbury, the reception is improving, significantly so. The D layer has apparently begun its nightly disappearing act, allowing the E layer to do its magic and send the signal to my Chrysler 200 radio. But the car is still in Missouri. It ought to get a St. Louis station.
KMOX was first granted a license by the Department of Commerce in 1925, according to the current director of programming, Steve Moore, and called itself the Voice of St. Louis. KMOX was soon permitted to use a 50,000-watt transmitter to send the signal in all directions, and the government protected the station by limiting the power and direction of subsequent stations broadcasting on the same frequency.
That allowed KMOX's signal, like other regional stations around the country, to dominate huge areas of the continental United States. It broadcasts at 1120, meaning it sends out 1,120,000 cycles per second of electromagnetic energy.
Jake Meyer, a 73-year-old lawyer in St. Marys, Pa., said he was able to follow the Cardinals as a boy despite living 713 miles from the KMOX transmitter. In the early 1950s, he sat with one hand on a wire in the radio and the other on a radiator to create the best reception, while simultaneously inducing fear in his mother, who thought he would be electrocuted. Sometimes, he would drive up a nearby hill for better reception, even taking a date on one occasion.
"Instead of making out, we listened to Jack Buck and Harry Caray doing the Cardinals game," Meyer said.
Today there are more stations, more structures and more interference, and Meyer says he has trouble getting the station.
But Joe Buck said that when he was going to college at Indiana University in Bloomington, he could get the games all the way there, and when he drove home on vacations, the reception steadily improved as he neared St. Louis.
"It was like a beacon calling me home," he said. "My dad once showed me a letter he received from a missionary who said he once heard the game in Tanzania. There were certain nights when the atmosphere was right that the KMOX signal would bounce all the way over there, and he could listen to the Cardinals game sitting in Tanzania."
Joe Geerling, the chief engineer at KMOX, said that many factors could affect an AM signal, including the weather. The best conditions are cold, dry nights when people on the other side of the globe might receive the signal, however briefly. Through QSL card correspondence, distant radio reception was confirmed.
"I've gotten cards from people in Guam and Holland who said they heard a certain commercial at a certain time," Geerling said. "Those are unusual. But yesterday, I got an email from someone in Baton Rouge, and that's not unusual at all."
I-55, Blytheville, Ark.
Crossing the border into Arkansas, the roadway deteriorates into a series of bone-rattling bumps. But the KMOX reception is improving considerably in this rural area, as are the conditions for the Red Sox, who even the score, 1-1, according to Rooney and Shannon.
Finding a diner or a bar where some Cardinals fans might be found in Blytheville, 227 miles south of Busch Stadium, is futile on a Sunday night. The whole town is closed, except for a gas station that sells chicken sizzled in vats behind the counter. I bought two pieces, but the bumpy road made digestion unlikely, and they went uneaten.
About 20 miles later, in front of Trade World, a pawnshop on Route 140 in Osceola, Ark., about 240 miles from Busch Stadium, the reception is muddled and crackly. But there is no mistaking Shannon's disappointed monotone as Boston's Jonny Gomes hits a three-run home run to give Boston a 4-1 lead.
Shannon and Rooney continue the tradition of well-liked announcers at KMOX, like Jack Buck and Caray, who did games together beginning in 1954 when Buck joined Caray in the booth (Joe Garagiola came along a year later) and KMOX gained exclusive rights to the games for the next 51 years.
"It wasn't just the strength of the signal," said Bob Costas, who broadcast the Spirits of St. Louis basketball games on KMOX in the 1970s, years after he heard the signal on Long Island as a boy. "It was also the quality of the guys in the booth that drew people in. Back then, Harry was not what many people remember in Chicago after his strokes. At a time when the Cardinals were the farthest outpost in baseball, he was a craftsman bringing the game to life for people in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky."
One of those people was the Red Sox' owner, John Henry, whose family moved from a farm in Illinois to a soybean and cotton farm in Forrest City, Ark., when he was young. It was there that he tuned in KMOX to hear Caray, Garagiola and Buck describe the games.
"I had a great Zenith radio," Henry said. "But everyone in the area could listen even with a little transistor."
And speaking of Kentucky, it is somewhere off to my left, out there in the darkness. But now, not far from Memphis and northern Mississippi, as the seventh inning begins, there is incentive to get trucking. No more stopping in tiny towns looking for Cardinals fans. Now it is interstate all the way.
Of course, with today's technology, anyone with a smartphone app could listen to the Boston station that is broadcasting the game. But that's not the point.
I-55, Memphis & Arkansas Bridge
Reception is still strong as I head back across the Mississippi south of Memphis, 288 miles from home plate. The game is in the eighth inning. Tim McCarver, who is broadcasting the game with Joe Buck on television on Fox, grew up near here in Memphis listening to Buck and Caray and Garagiola, who were almost as important to them as the players.
"We would play games and do the voices at the same time," McCarver said. "The guy who did the best job imitating them on that day, that's who won."
In 2006, a station with a 5,000-watt signal won the radio rights to Cardinals games for five years, during which many people complained that their reception was lost, so the team returned to KMOX in 2011.
I pass into Mississippi, the fifth state on the journey, as the game enters the ninth. There is a wider variety of establishments to perhaps watch the end of the game and meet a Cardinals fan in a far-flung land, someone whose roots to the team connect to the ubiquitous KMOX signal. The Hooters on Route 302 in Horn Lake, Miss., 310 miles from St. Louis, is the closest.
Inside is Tony Davis, a Mississippi resident, watching the game. Is he a KMOX listener? Is that how he became a Cards fan? Or perhaps it was his father or grandfather who had listened to Buck and Caray way back when.
"I'm a Yankee fan," he says.
With that, and payment for a club soda, it's back to the car to hear the final outs of the game. The reception could not be better. It is crystal clear, as if the station were transmitting from the parking lot. Shannon wonders why the Red Sox are even bothering to hold Kolten Wong on first base in a two-run game. Then, bang, to Shannon's astonishment, Wong is picked off first. Game over. At 10:51 p.m. Central.
I could not outrun the signal, even leaving two and a half hours before the game.
KMOX wins in a blowout.
In fact, the reception is so clear, I probably could have driven straight into the Gulf of Mexico and still heard the sad postgame show. Instead, I listen to the hissing report — the content of the show is hissing, not the signal reception — as I head toward Memphis and the Blues City Cafe for a well-deserved plate of ribs, full rack, and a last pit stop at a West Memphis gas station.
And that's it, except for one thing: a 300-mile drive back to St. Louis for Game 5 the same day. Perhaps I'll listen to some music on the way.

To celebrate World Emoji Day, Ford has released a new video, showing the rigorous process of building, designing, and test driving an emoji car.
The tongue in cheek promotion showcases is meant as a light-hearted joke, but it's been a genuine effort by the Brand since 2018 when Ford submitted the same design to the Unicode Consortium (the people in charge of keyboard characters).
Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of automotive
"When customers started demanding a truck emoji, we knew we had to help make it happen,"
They're putting in a valiant effort for their emoji, that's for sure. But we won't know if it was worth it for a while still. The next batch of new emojis won't be until 2020.

Years ago I used to play video games in all my spare time. When I got my first console I would spend hours playing Super Mario and Duck Hunt. Then came Super Nintendo and it was hours with Super Mario 3 and Donkey Kong. Finally, I convinced my mom that there was a revolution in gaming and I had to have a Nintendo 64 for Christmas to be part of it. After a few years of playing Mario 64, I got tired of playing those kind of games.
I shifted more toward RPG and strategy computer games like the Dagger of Amon Ra, King's Quest, and Sim City. But I spent less time playing games overall, focusing on reading, homework, and surfing online instead of playing games. Games just weren't part of my life anymore and I didn't care when new consoles came out.
I thought it would be that way for forever, but this past Christmas that changed. I got a Playstation 2 and five games, so now I'm a gamer again. It's been a long time and I'm pretty rusty with the controller so I'm getting killed a lot in Ghost Recon 2 or giving the Ring of Power to the Nazgul in Lord of the Rings Return of the King. The Sims is more my kind of game, but it's different from the computer version because my character is stuck living with his mom. The most stimulating game I have is Katamary Damacy, where the Prince has to roll up items to make a big Katamari, but I'm stuck on Star 7. I haven't played much of ESPN College Hoops 2K5 because better with another player and everybody here's on vacation.
Now instead of spending a ton of time surfing the Web I can hone my skills on the Playstation 2. It may pay off some day.

Within the midst of the darkness that engulfed the world, the know-how changed the entire lifetime of the human beings. A expertise saturated lifestyle — the place good gadget house owners feel compelled to e-mail, message and submit to social media with reckless abandon, and infrequently in any respect hours of the day or night time — is taking a lot of the blame.
In 1937, the American sociologist Learn Bain wrote that "know-how contains all tools, machines, utensils, weapons, devices, housing, clothing, communicating and transporting devices and the abilities by which we produce and use them." 6 Bain's definition remains common among scholars at the moment, particularly social scientists.
Right now, you've nanotechnology firms all over the place on the planet. Sharp often releases firmware updates for its LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY TVs to enhance current functionality or add new performance, or remove or add Web applications. Primarily because digital gadgets are extra current in our life right now than final time such an event took place, in 1859.
Different sources have discovered that Facebook could be life-threatening at occasions. At the same time, we can gather masses of well being-associated information on the human population, starting from the number of steps taken in a day to blood pressure and clinical imaging.
There have been just a few times over the last few years after I've learn a information story or a debate concerning the morality or worth of this or that new process or know-how, and thought to myself, "Have not these people ever watched The Twilight Zone?

Two residents of Island Palm Communities named 2018 WinningEdge scholars
Island Palm Communities
News Release
SCHOOLED BARRACKS, Hawaii — Two Island Pam Communities residents have been selected as recipients of the 2018 WinningEdge Scholarship sponsored by WinnCompanies.
Alexis Proffitt and Madyson Hoffman were among 46 national winners of the scholarship awarded annually by WinnCompanies, the national property management firm that serves Island Palm Communities.
Established in 2012, the WinningEdge Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to residents who are high school and GED graduates, and who are pursuing studies at a post-secondary educational institution. Recipients are chosen based on academic performance, character, and proficiency in their chosen field of study.
Alexis Proffitt will use her scholarship towards her sophomore year at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
"I am truly honored to be a recipient of the 2018 WinningEdge Scholarship. A college education is very important to me, but that does not make it any less expensive. With the help of this scholarship, school became a little more affordable for me. Thank you WinningEdge," said Proffitt.
Madyson Hoffman will apply her scholarship towards her education at Maranatha Baptist University in Watertown, Wisconsin.
"Thank you WinningEdge for this wonderful scholarship. Winning this scholarship is such a blessing to me, as it will really help me focus on my studies in school rather than having to focus on financial needs. I am so very thankful for military scholarships and how they provide help for students like me. Thank you again! I am very blessed to have this scholarship to pursue my studies," said Hoffman.
A total of $37,000 was awarded to WinnCompanies residents nationwide through the WinningEdge Scholarship Program this year. Of the 48 recipients, 23 are residents of military communities managed by WinnCompanies.
