Phase Three: Putting Down Roots
January 31st, 2013
As I look back through my (weak excuse for a) journal, I realized that almost exactly a year ago, we were gearing up to visit a tiny town in Kentucky to meet a church that had already won our hearts. We've been settling in now for about nine months and it feels like we've been here forever.
The first phase of the new move was really all about settling in. Getting unpacked. Finding the grocery store in the next town over. Trying desperately to learn the complicated kinship web that flows through our church. (Still working on that last one!) The nuts and bolts of new life.
Phase two saw me expanding my world a bit into the community. We enrolled the kids in daycare and I fell in love with Montessori education. I found a local coffee shop to work from, and attended a few meetings of a local women's club. We got into a great rhythm of inviting church friends over for dinner and started to form real connections with our new faith family.
Now I feel like we're moving into Phase Three — putting down roots. I've got my bearings and I'm starting to crinkle my toes into the earthen core of this community, making it mine.
I had lunch today at a little place in the next town over and ran into a friend — and not even a church member! — and I almost felt like a local.
We're signing Miss Mouse up for preschool soccer, coordinating it with a friend from church so our daughters can play together.
I spent an amiable afternoon this week knitting and chatting over tea in my living room with a lovely lady from my adult Sunday school class.
I sent in a deposit to participate in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) of a local organic farm and I'm eyeing my backyard with visions of a small garden plot this summer.
At the PTO meeting of Miss Mouse's school next week, I'll be throwing my hat in the ring to be on the Board.
I've claimed this new place — SmallTownUSA — for my own, and for my family. It's good to be here.

We're certainly glad you're here, Kate. You and all your family are such a blessing to our church and community. Enjoyed our afternoon of knitting, tea and conversation.
I confess that even after 2 years in our new town we are still working on Phase 3. We absolutely love our town but the Phase 3 seems to be the hard one. Good for you for starting to settle in.
This is the first time I've really had to forge connections without some being built for me (like in college and seminary). It's a much different experience. Having kids helps, as I'm sure you're discovering! I have no idea what it would be like to move to a new place without having that mom network to tap into.

Las Vegas, NV - In a battle for boxing pound for pound supremacy, Andre Ward pulled himself off the canvas and proved why he's the best boxing technician in the world by scoring a unanimous decision victory over Sergey Kovalev to win the WBA, IBF and WBO light heavyweight titles in a thrilling nip and tuck affair.
The moment the fight was announced, Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward was a coin flip of a fight where it would be Ward's boxing brilliance versus Kovalev's mind warping power. But for the first few rounds, it was all Kovalev (30-1-1) who surprised Ward (31-0) with a wicked jab that had Ward shook up. Things only went downhill from there for Ward as he was sunk to the canvas by a hard counter right hand from Kovalev in the second round. But despite the clinic Kovalev put on, he refused to be denied on this night.
But things didn't get much better for Ward as he tried to deal with Krusher's power and a surprisingly slick jab that continuously split Ward's guard. Something had to change and, eventually, it did.
Considering Ward hasn't lost a fight since he was a pre-teen, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist dug deep and began to methodically claw his way back into the fight in the second half. Starting in round six, Ward's jab and hold strategy began to pay off in dividends as it both scored and flustered the Russian. The in-fighting was frequent and referee Robert Byrd stayed out of it for the most part, which worked to Ward's advantage as he sapped any momentum that Kovalev built up.
Before you knew it, Ward has closed the gap, shifted the momentum and had the 13,310 pro-Ward audience inside of T-Mobile Arena on their feet. It was a brilliant second half performance by Ward who managed to control the distance and wear down Kovalev with body punches. In the final third of the fight, Ward opened up more and landing hooks behind the jab as Kovalev stuck to the game plan and continued to land his jab. Unfortunately for the Russian, the right hand that he set up so well in the early rounds was completely taken away.
Nevertheless, it was extraordinarily close heading into the championship rounds and it could have gone the other way with a different set of judges but on this night the decision went to Ward with scores of 114-113 across the board.
With nowhere else to turn but to each other, this is destined for a rematch.

Vehicle2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5 i 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI've waited a few months to review this car as I thought my initial enthusiasm might diminish. But, it hasn't! I still look forward to driving my car everyday. This vehicle has the perfect mix, with the practicality of a wagon but the performance of a rally car. AWD is a major safety and performance point (I'll have a hard time ever going back to 2WD, if I ever do). I put in the STi short throw shifter and would absolutely insist on it for any WRX owners out there. Subaru roof rack allows for bike rack and Rocket Box, while cargo area kennels a large dog easily. Roof rack whistle was a problem on past Subarus, but they seem to have fixed the problem as I haven't heard anything.
Best FeaturesPerformance, bucket seats, aftermarket Subaru subwoofer under my seat! STi short throw shifter, wagon space, six disc in dash stereo, great Bridgestone rubber! I really like that Subaru offers aftermarket performance parts. My next upgrade will probably be the sway bar kit.
Worst FeaturesUpgrade the stock shifter to the short throw kit. MP3 jack in the stereo. Offer the sunroof as an option instead of as a part of the Limited Package. Design the rear differential protector to be compatible with the cat back exhaust.

Classic Hollywood Movie Spotlight: 'Apocalypse Now'
Since we're doing a series on Francis Ford Coppola, it's long past time we talk about what a director does. Before I read Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, I had some vague notion that the director "made" a movie. That's sort of true. But when one thinks of the specifics of making a movie – editing, design, cinematography – the director doesn't do any of that. One of the reasons the "technical" categories in the Oscars won't ever go away is because those "technical" categories honor the people who, you know, make movies. It would be like handing out awards for the best cars of the year, but only honoring the "professional drivers on a closed course."
So if a director doesn't shoot, cut, design or act, what does he do?
A director chooses a story to tell and outlines, to a greater or lesser degree of specificity, the vision for how that story will be told on screen. Then the director chooses collaborators. This is no mean feat. Choosing the right editor or cinematographer will make or break a film as much as choosing the right cast, and not everyone can match the right artist to the story he wants to tell. Once everyone's been hired, the director conducts everyone in the realization of his vision.
Some directors, like David Lynch or Steven Spielberg, let the vision come together as they film. Other directors, like Stanley Kubrick or Douglas Sirk, are far more autocratic about the whole thing. Either way, realizing the vision of the movie, keeping everyone on the same page, moving from the micro- to the macro-, and pushing through to the end is really, really difficult.
A director must be a manager, a leader, a strategic organizer, a time manager, must have a rudimentary understanding of the jobs everyone around him is performing and be conscious of cash flow – all the while holding everyone involved to an artistic vision that perhaps only the director can see. On a shoestring budget with a cast of three shooting on DV in someone's apartment, this can be difficult. Imagine what it's like in the jungle with 300 people, millions of dollars, and no end in sight.
In Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind doesn't paint a pretty picture of Francis Ford Coppola during the shooting of Apocalypse Now. Biskind outlines Coppola's sexual dalliances, financial indulgences and artistic confusion. Apocalypse Now uses Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness as a starting point to create a morally responsible take on Vietnam. For real, without blinking. In the late '70s. That's what Coppola wanted to do.
One of the big stories surrounding the production of Apocalypse Now is that all through shooting – which lasted over a year – Coppola didn't have an ending. The original script by John Milius ended in a big battle, a traditional war story, good vs. evil … that sort of thing. Coppola felt strongly that ending a movie about Vietnam like a conventional war story would be morally reprehensible and artistically corrupt, but he didn't have an alternative – so he kept digging, exploring, searching, rewriting, and experimenting. Watch the movie and decide for yourself if he succeeded, but either way Coppola did what a director is supposed to do: stick to his vision and tell the truth.
A lot of the reportage on Coppola's inability to find an ending during Apocalypse Now condemns him, but to me it shows him at his best as a director. He sticks to the vision. He sticks to what he feels like to be the artistic truth of the film, no matter what. He fights for the truth. In a cynical and decadent world, it sounds corny to say, but it is what gives his movies their individuality and strength – even the ones that don't work for everyone.
At the end of Hearts of Darkness, a documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now, when the principle shooting's done, there's a cut to a title card that says "2 1/2 Years Later" and then we see the grand premier. It's as if nothing happened in those two and a half years.
Well, what happened was something like four editors cut and re-cut the movie over and over and over again. They started out with 1.25 million feet of film. That's 230 hours. All of that film got cut, re-cut, and cut again. And then Walter Murch went in and built the sound. None of the sound brought back from the jungle could be used, so Murch and his team had to invent the sound of the jungle, the river, the war scenes, and everything else from scratch. On top of that he layered synthetic effects, the music of The Doors, voiceover narration, and what would now be called ambient music. What Murch created was so in-depth, so complete, and contributed so much to the viewing experience of the film that it necessitated a new title for the credits: Sound Designer.
Between 1972 and 1979, Francis Ford Coppola made three major masterpieces and one minor one. He won five Academy Awards and the Palm d'Or twice. His movies made so much money and had such deep appeal that the studios had to redesign the way they distributed movies.
During post-production on Apocalypse Now, Coppola was so convinced that the movie would flop that he decided to make a romantic, happy movie about love that would help him make his money back. That movie was One From the Heart. You haven't seen it, but it flopped so badly and bankrupted Coppola so deeply that it dictated Coppola's artistic decisions for the next decade. What mistake did Coppola make with One From the Heart? The same mistake he had always made: he couldn't help making a work of art.
Next week: One From the Heart.

Apple Unleashes Logic Studio 9
Once again, out of nowhere, Apple has premiered the next version of Logic Studio, which features upgrades to Logic Pro and MainStage, as well as more than 200 new attributes that simplify complex tasks. While, this is not exactly, "out of nowhere" — we thought this would debut around Summer NAMM — the upgrade does follow Apple's usual "no-fanfare announcement" approach to this exceptional product.
The big news is that Logic Pro 9 now features new Amp Designer and Pedalboard plug-ins that provide realistic virtual guitar amps and stompbox effects to create amazing custom guitar rigs. A new set of Flex Time tools allow Logic users to manipulate the timing and tempo of audio quickly and easily. MainStage 2, Apple's live performance application, includes the new Playback and Loopback plug-ins to provide backing tracks and creative, real-time loop recording for performing on stage. Logic Studio also includes the new Soundtrack Pro 3, with new multitrack audio tools for video production, and Compressor 3.5 for encoding in a variety of formats.
The new Amp Designer and Pedalboard plug-ins give guitar players new recording and sound design capabilities. Amp Designer recreates 25 vintage and modern amp heads in detail with matching controls and 25 paired speaker cabinets that emulate the sound and feel of a guitar running through a real tube amplifier. Guitar players can create their own custom rig by mixing and matching amps, cabinets, reverbs and EQs, and can choose from three different microphone types that can be positioned in 3D space to capture the ideal guitar tone.
Pedalboard adds an assortment of 30 guitar stompbox pedals that can be arranged in any order to produce a wide variety of lush, creative effects including overdrive, distortion, fuzz, delay, chorus, flange, phaser, tremolo, treble boost, wah and more.
Flex Time is a new collection of tools that allow musicians to quickly manipulate the timing and tempo of recorded audio, including vocals and instruments, to create tighter performances. Using the Flex Tool, individual beats in a waveform can be moved effortlessly with a mouse click, without the need for tedious slicing and editing. Audio Quantize can instantly fix or adjust the timing of an entire performance by aligning notes and beats to a musical grid with a single menu selection. Varispeed provides the ability to slow down and then speed up an entire multi-track production to help record challenging parts. Flex Time also enables recorded tracks to be moved between different Logic projects and matched together, even if they were performed at different tempos. All Flex Time edits are performed non destructively and in real time, even when using the highest quality settings.
MainStage 2 lets musicians use all the instruments and effects from Logic Studio to turn their Mac into the ultimate live performance rig. The new Playback plug-in provides musicians with a backing band, allowing them to perform with pre-recorded audio, like drums, sound effects and other accompaniments that can be triggered to play while they are performing live. The new Loopback plug-in allows musicians to record, layer and jam along with their own performance so a single musician can lay down a rhythm and then play a lead over it.
Soundtrack Pro 3 adds powerful new audio editing tools including Voice Level Match which extracts volume information from the vocal content of one clip and applies it to another without altering any other audio content, so editors can easily correct mismatched voice levels. An enhanced File Editor includes new tools to make sophisticated edits and fine tune volume adjustments by targeting specific frequencies such as the rustle of a paper or the bump of a desk without affecting dialogue. The new Advanced Time Stretch feature stretches and compresses audio with incredible precision using three Apple-designed algorithms or other algorithms available as third party plug-ins. Soundtrack Pro and Compressor are also available as part of the new Final Cut Studio®, allowing Final Cut and Logic users to collaborate and share files.
Apple's Logic Studio 9 is available now for $499. Existing users of Logic Studio and Logic Pro can upgrade for a suggested retail price of $199. More information on Apple Logic Studio 9.

Disclaimer – This post is looking at broad, societal generalizations of two strikingly different personality types. It is merely my understanding of how these personalities interact together on a very small scale of life otherwise known as the Ronne household and how we can successfully mesh them together to create a peaceful and harmonious environment beneficial for all of the family members involved.
The writing was on the wall from the day I married this man and became mom to three new children.
It was always there, right in my face, prominently displayed upon our fireplace mantel for the whole world to see, but I never saw what the picture was really saying, speaking to me in a still, small, quiet picture voice. You see, if you look closely at this picture, you will notice mostly subdued, tired, calm looking children, with two subdued, calm looking parents, that's what will catch your eye, mostly… except for two of the beings in the picture. Two children who I would be adopting within the year and becoming legally mom to, two children who I would choose to love as my own, regardless of the lack of bonding I had with them during the early years, two children who would cause me to repeatedly bang my head against a wall in despair and guilt over feeling like I was failing them as a mother because I could not for the life of me figure out why they ticked the way they did, two children with so much joy, so much life, so much exuberance, so much energy, and SO MANY FREAKIN WORDS ALL THE TIME.
I have researched, labeled, prayed, and attempted to reason with these blessings from above in an effort to wrap my mind around how they tick, why they are wired so differently from anything or anyone I've ever mothered or experienced before, and I've come to the realization, almost three years into knowing them, that it all boils down to two words, two words that have freed me from the confines of guilt within my inner soul in ways I never knew possible and opened my eyes to a realm of possibilities, those two words being so simple, yet so profound:
This moment of revelation, where the Heavens opened up and rang down answers, was a day that happened quite by accident when I stumbled across one woman's blog entry about being an introverted mom raising an extroverted child and how challenging it was for her and then the fire was eternally stoked. I knew in an instant that I had unearthed the deep mystery of my reality as well and it all started to click. I spent hours that day researching anything and everything I could find on this very eye opening discovery. Tate and Jada are extroverted –straight up extroverted, and I am straight up introverted, as are the other 5 children in the family, including the four who have come from my very own loins and as frustrating as it has been for me, I have to imagine these two children have been equally as confused and frustrated, especially ten year old Tate who had a whole new form of motherhood to contend with and adapt to. A mom who didn't want to talk about everything, a mom who needed to decompress often, a mom who would jam head phones into her ears to avoid speaking or interacting for periods of time, a mom whose eyes would glaze over in the morning as he bounded down the stairs eager to fill her ears with every single thought that had passed through his mind during the evening. These two children love to talk, need much less sleep than the rest of us introverted souls, and always, always want to be doing something social. Their batteries are recharged through going places, seeing people, seeing the world, flinging decorative throw pillows around the room, getting reactions, negative and positive reactions doesn't matter as long as it leads to someone or something acknowledging and conversing with them, constantly pestering their siblings for the same type of reactions, expressing every single feeling very vocally and very externally, and attempting to fix the funk their introverted mother appears to be in occasionally by doing what they would love to have done for them in a similar situation –BY TALKING, whereas I'm screaming in my head, PLEEEASE…. just give me two seconds to THINK.
Introverts do very little of any of this because most actions exhaust us after a certain amount of time. Introverts process almost everything internally and by the time something comes out of our mouths we have thought it through, completely and thoroughly, including any implications that may be involved, and we have deemed it worthy to be vocalized or written to the world as something we stand behind and give our stamp of approval upon (thus many introverts are writers). We are very much homebodies, avoid small talk (it doesn't seem worthy of the energy), need a significant amount of sleep, and have a much lower need to be social, but that's not to say we don't have friends, we are very loyal people and once we actually allow you into our realm of trust, you will be there for a very long time, therefore our circle of intimacy is usually quite small.
The world, especially our American world, is much kinder and more welcoming to extroverts. We as a culture encourage stress, constant movement, making all the friends and social media contacts as can possibly be made, loud, inhibition less actions, excessive congregating and forming groups for this and that and attending this class, and that Bible study and if you don't, Why in heavens name wouldn't you? Don't you want to grow spiritually with other believers? Are you struggling spiritually? Are you backsliding? What in the world is wrong with you?
Extroverts give the appearance of being much more loving and giving as people than the introverted crowd, generally basking in the joy of being social, giving back, setting up charities and organizations, hob knobbing with all the people of the world about the next big fundraiser or activity planned and while this is a true characteristic of an extrovert, there is also something inherently and often times unconsciously selfish in these actions in that the acts themselves fill something inside of the extrovert; they fill a void required through this outlet of social stimulation.
Now contrast this with the introverted perspective on life. No, I probably don't want to go to every activity and class out there, not even probably no, just straight up no. My brain needs a lot of time to decompress, alone, or with a single person, either a close girlfriend or my husband. I enjoy reading something, simply and quietly in the privacy of our home. Introverts aren't necessarily rude people although our behaviors are often misinterpreted as rude, we are just very intense people who need to get away from it all and reenergize ourselves; in contrast to the extrovert who gains energy from people and a constant social life, introverts loose energy at pretty rapid paces when we are called upon to be always socially available, not to mention it can cause some massive headaches because it's just not how we are wired. It's not even that we don't want a social life, we just realize that it will drain us, and we will pay for it with hours of down time and medication later. Ryan and I love date night and 90% of the time it's just the two of us, in a quiet place, chatting about life. Occasionally we double date with people who are very dear to us, and although we enjoy it, the time leading up the event can cause some anxiety because we both realize how much more it will take out of us to double date, this feeling of being "on" for other people. Introverts totally understand this, extroverts think we're nuts because we can't and won't stay out until midnight, soaking in the moment, chatting and dancing the night away. If we did this, we would need to regroup for a month. It's exhausting to feel like you need to be on all the time and introverts feel this especially in the presence of an extrovert.
Bottom line, I love these children fiercely. Being introverted, I will take some time to process this, claim it as my reality, and then my first born nature will kick in, and I will make it as right as I possibly can by our family. I hope to have some practical suggestions to share in the next post for other introverted parents struggling as well or if you have suggestions, please let me know in the comments. Ignorance can seem to be blissful for a period, but knowledge is ultimately the most powerful force.
I'm exhausted, time to decompress with a nap…
Just keep livin!!
Five of my five children are extroverts. I would say I'm inbetween an extrovert and introvert. Listening to children express ALL their thoughts is SO exhausting BUT you will not be sorry if you take the time to listen, ask questions even and then keep listening. My children are adults now but they have many times thanked me for taking the time to listen. Yes, even when they came home later at night. Not always the best time when hubby would like to have more of my time. however, the kids still so freely share their thoughts. Although it was so exhausting when they were growing up I quickly found that listening gave me tons of information on what made them tick, but also gave me very clear direction on how and what to pray in their regard. Make sure you ask questions, too, not just listen. I know, it takes even more effort but they will love, love, love you for it! And yes, my kids still talk a lot when they come home; it's a noisy time but I DO know what's going on! Keep listening...it made me more talkative, for sure. Who would have thought? More power to you!
I guess I never considered byself an introvert but reading this, it is so me. Must explain why you and I have always been such good friends! We like to catch up and be home in bed by 9pm! I too am struggling with an extremely extroverted child. This puts it all in perspective! Miss you! Lins
Sounds a lot like me Jess. Thanks for making me feel like it's ok

Thank you for all of the comments on my new blog design! Have you entered the blog redesign giveaway? I am really excited about it, so please do check it out!
I have been trying to bake once a week, and with an abundance of fresh maple syrup from Trader Joe's and some from my aunt in Vermont, I decided on a Maple Yogurt Pound Cake from the site Not Derby Pie.
The pound cake consists of only a few ingredients with yogurt and maple syrup being front and center. I absolutely positively love using Fage 2% Greek yogurt for everything from breakfast to dips, as a substitute for sour cream, and in baking. It is amazing, and every time I eat it again, I remember that no other Greek yogurt measures up for me.
Mixing up this cake was kind of fun. All of the wet ingredients, except for the oil, went together at once. And when I added the dry ingredients, the batter got REALLY thick.
I tried to get a good photo of the maple syrup without my hand, but I couldn't. I just love the amber color of maple syrup.
Stirring the oil in last was part of the recipe instructions, and because the batter was so thick, it gave me quite the workout!
My one and only loaf pan was occupied with green meatloaf leftovers, so I had to use a pie plate instead for the cake. The batter fit perfectly.
In the end, this cake smelled SO good cooking, and it turned out of the pan so easily, thanks to the generous amount of butter I used to grease the pan. Considering most of my baking adventures end with something stuck in a pan, I am happy with this.
The flavors of the cake are great, but when we ate it last night, it was a bit dry. I had a glass of milk with it, but I am wondering if some sort of glaze or frosting might help make it less dry? I wouldn't want anything too sweet because I do love the maple and vanilla flavors in this cake.
Any thoughts on how to jazz up a dry cake? Have you ever gone to Vermont during maple syrup season to harvest syrup and eat pancakes and do all sorts of fun outdoor things? I have always wanted to do this, but our schedule never seems to match up with the harvest.
Recipe from Not Derby Pie
Maple Yogurt Cake
inspired by Bon Appetit
1/2 cup maple syrup, preferably grade B
3/4 cup yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously butter 8 1/2×4 1/2×2 1/2-inch metal loaf pan.
Combine syrup, yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Stir or whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir to incorporate. Add oil, and fold gradually until oil absorbs into the batter.
Place cake on baking sheet in oven and bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 5 minutes. Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Turn cake out onto rack. Turn cake upright on rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap and store at room temperature.)

I have an abundance of maple syrup too. I should try this! My mom was just saying the other day that she didn't like Greek yogurt because it's so chalky… I did some digging and found out she'd only tried Chobani (which is really chalky in my opinion). So I had to fill her in on how Fage is the good stuff!
i love VT / NH during maple syrup harvest time. I've been to a few sugar shacks as they call them in my childhood travels. its so much fun to see the process and witness the results. my best friend jen and i till this day joke about how we are moving to VT to start a maple sugar shack business of our own. want to come?

Why do I need Surge Protection Devices (SPD)?
Jeff Cox, Power Plus Electrical Service, Inc.
We need SPD's to help extend the life of electronic devices and appliance in our homes, by discharging the surge to ground instead of the surge being absorbed by the device and damaging the device or destroying the device. Some devices and appliances that we take for granted are, refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, clothes dryers, washing machines, furnace, air conditioners, garage door openers, routers, GFCI receptacles and breakers, AFCI breakers...
And one thing that all these electronic devices have in common is that they are affected by power surges.
Power surges shorten the life of these items and can destroy them if the surge is large.
You probably already have surge protector strips in your home to protect your computer and TV. But what about the larger items?
A surge protector is a device that will protect your electrical equipment from a sudden burst of energy by discharging the energy to ground.
For a better understanding, you need to know that:
Effective surge protection occurs with a layered approach for protection.
The first layer is Type 1.
Leviton 50240-MSA
These devices are installed at the homes metering equipment. These are the first line of defence for protection of surges coming from outside the home, such as lightning, spikes from the power company, surges from damaged power lines.
The second layer is Type 2.
Sycom SYC-120240-T2
Type 2 whole house surge protector is installed on the main branch circuit panel or panels. Type 2's are installed on the load side of the main service entrance and primarily provide protection from internally generated power surges.
The third layer is Type 3.
This category provides point of use surge protection and is most commonly known as power strips. Surge protection receptacles are an effective way to protect appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines… appliances that can not accommodate a power strip. They suppress the lower level voltage spikes that can be damaging to more sensitive electronics like your computer, audio component, televisions and other household appliances.

Hello everyone. Recently on my lg motion I have been experiencing horrible video playback no matter where I try to watch a video from. On YouTube videos play for about a minute and pause to buffer for at least a minute. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

El Hadji Diouf isn't know for tact, or sense, or really anything nice at all, in fact he known for being a loudmouthed moron, but this maybe the worst thing he's done yet. He recently gave an interview to a Libyan newspaper, which serves as a mouthpiece for Gaddafi's regime, and according to Scottish paper, The Record, is quoted as saying:
"Colonel Gadhafi is a man I have always admired. I am telling the truth. I know him, and I know his son Saif well. They are my friends. I do not honestly know what is really happening in Libya at the moment but it must be very hard for Gaddafi and his family."
Now beyond the obvious stupidity of saying something like this when you play for a team in Scotland, where various bits of the jetliner Gadhafi's agent blew up in in the 1980's fell to earth, one as to wonder as to why Diouf met with anyone with the last name Gaddafi. Furthermore, I wonder what the people of the towns and villages Gaddafi's men are burning to the ground would say about this. Oh and did I mention, Diouf's friend, Saif Gadhafi is in direct commend of them?
Oh well, I guess when Colonel Gaddifi's in The Hague, on trial for war crimes, we know where he can get at least one character witness.

Such a fun and realistic story...So much bickering ( I miss that these days). You really have the characters down pat in this?
"Listen, Bones, do you have some type auditory-dyslexia I should have been informed about? Like, for instance, I say 'Do not under any circumstance do this', and you hear 'Be my guest, it's a free-for-all'?"
I loved this line, it one of the best ever ( and still sounds like them today).

I broke up with him about a month ago because he has commitment issues and is afraid of being in a serious relatonship. And everytime we got close he would push me away and i got sick of it and broke up with him even though i didn't want to break up with him. He has a lot of issues he has anixety and gets depressed often and is terriffied of rejection and getting hurt in a relationship. He then remvoed as a friend on fb. Then 2 weeks after break up he texted me and said he hates not seeing my face and we texted bu then i didn't hear from him.2 weeks passed again and yesterday he texted me we texted most of the day and today i haven't heard from him. Why is he doing this?
Most Helpful Guy
Hate to say it, but this guy sounds like a bit of a mess, and a suitable case for treatment of some kind. It's highly likely that you will never understand him unless he gets help. You sound like a wonderful woman, yet he doesn't want to reach out, grab hold of you, and never let go. Instead, when he did have you in his life, he had intimacy issues. Not good. He's also passive-aggressive in actions, which he illustrated by unfriending you. To top it all off, he appears to be bi-polar, with pretty severe, self-destructive, and life disrupting behavior swings. Really, it has to be said straight out, he's a trainwreck. Plain and simple.11|00|0

Come see the first glimpse of the Canadian Badlands driving east from the Rocky Mountains. Signs on highway 9, 15 kilometers west of Drumheller, will direct visitors to the day use parking, picnic, and lookout area. Horseshoe Canyon is a beautiful stratified representation of the last 100 million years of geological development. This stunning backdrop is home to a vast and diverse group of birds and wild prairie flowers. The isolated plateaus within the valley stand as untouched remnant communities of the once dominant Northern Fescue Subregion of which only three percent of these native grass communities remain. Each plateaus inaccessibility provides protection to the grasses and the thick vegetative litter accumulated from years of unfettered growth acts as a nesting ground for local birds.

Super Surfer Vaporizer by 7th Floor Vapes
Are you looking for a vaporizer that's a little more "super" than your average desktop vaporizer?
Check out the Super Surfer by 7th Floor.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I received my Super Surfer. I wasn't sure it would live up to all of the hype I'd heard about it online.
I'm very happy to say that after using this vaporizer for quite some time now, it's lived up to all of the hype. The Super Surfer is an amazing vaporizer and in my opinion is a big step up from the original Silver Surfer, or even Da Buddha.
The Super Surfer has a very nice look to it. It resembles the Silver Surfer but it is slightly larger and also much more stylish if you ask me. It is one of the best looking desktop vaporizers currently on the market today. It's only available in one color which is Silver, of course.
This vaporizer has all of the features of the standard SSV and has a forced air system, allowing for users to attach a bag and fill it with vapor, similar to the Volcano. It can also be used with a whip of course as well.
The Super Surfer featured a lighted base which comes with several lighting modes. It's perfect for if your using it in a an environment with low lighting.
This vaporizer not only has some incredible features, but it also delivers some very impressive vapor production..
Vapor Quality
I can't say enough good things about the vapor production and also the quality of the vapor that the Super Surfer produces. This vaporizer out performs all other whip style desktop vaporizers I've tried, and blows the competition out of the water. This unit delivers massive clouds of smooth vapor, and it is very easy to fine tune the temperature to your liking!
Ease of Use
The Super Surfer is down right simple to use, no matter which way you choose to use it. Whether you use it the traditional way with a whip or you want to use the forced air system. It's pretty damn simple to figure out.
If you have the money to invest, I highly recommend this vaporizer and give it 2 thumbs way up. There's a reason this vape retails at $499, and you get what you pay for. The Super Surfer is one of the highest quality vaporizers I've ever had the pleasure of using. I highly recommend it if your looking for a high quality vaporizer.
Where to Buy?

The Verdict | Super Surfer Vaporizer Review
Just like it's younger brother the Silver Surfer… But better!
