Chicagoans embraced Alan Barrett's search for a great breakfast ("Mr. Breakfast's Chicago Challenge!" At Play, Sept. 11). More than 170 readers had suggestions for "Mr. Breakfast."(OK, there were suggestions about his propensity for wearing a YANKEES cap IN A RESTAURANT, but we'll ignore that issue for the moment.)
Anyway, so many people wrote in with so many really, really good suggestions that we got really, really hungry. So, in the Sept. 25 issue of At Play, we will print as many of your suggestions as space allows. Until then, here's a sampling:

Violent crime has shown a surprise increase, official figures have revealed.
Data showed that violence against the person offences reported to the police in 2013 showed a 1 per cent rise to 614,400, or nearly 7,000 extra victims in the year.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the increase was down to "improvements in recording" – amid widespread concern that crime figures have been "fiddled" by forces.
The ONS said the rise could also be due to higher numbers of victims having the confidence to report violent crime to the police, particularly victims of domestic violence.
The unexpected increase in violent crime raised further confusion about true levels of crime in England and Wales, following a separate report yesterday which suggested the same type of offence had actually fallen.
Overall police recorded 3.7 million crimes in England and Wales last year, a fall of 2 per cent year on year.
Sexual offences recorded by the police rose 17 per cent last year, reflecting a continuing trend in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, which has led to more victims coming forward.
The number of reported rapes and sexual assaults involving girls under 13 jumped 25 per cent year-on-year to 7,611 offences, while those involving boys under 13 soared by 54 per cent to 2,727.
Historic sex offences made up a smaller proportion of the increase then in previous figures.
The ONS said historic cases were becoming less prominent in the data as time passed from the setting up of Operation Yewtree in the wake of the scandal surrounding Savile, the former BBC entertainer.
Shoplifting was one of the few other offences to show an increase, up six per cent year on year.
Earlier this year the police recorded crime figures were stripped of a quality "kitemark" by the UK Statistics Authority because there was "accumulating evidence" that data collected by the 43 police forces may not be reliable.
A parallel set of figures based on a large-scale survey of people's experiences of crime, published today, also showed a fall in overall crime levels.
The Crime Survey of England and Wales (CSEW), previously known as the British Crime Survey, estimated there was a 15 per cent fall in overall crime last year to 7.5 million offences against households.
Adding to the confusion, the CSEW said violent crime fell 22 per cent to 1,537,000 incidents in 2013.
David Cameron, the Prime Minister, seized on the CSEW's headline figure and Tweeted: "Congratulations to the police - helping overall crime to fall 15 per cent in 2013 in England and Wales #CrimeIsFalling".
Norman Baker, a Home Office minister, said: "Under this coalition government, overall crime is down by more than 10 per cent according to both the independent crime survey and police recorded crime.
"Today's statistics are more good news and the evidence is clear: police reform is working and crime is falling.
"We can have confidence that England and Wales are safer than they have been for decades, with crime at its lowest level since the survey began in 1981.
"The government has a strong record on reinforcing the independence and accountability of the statistics.
"We asked Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary last June to carry out an audit of the quality of crime recording in every police force, and the Home Secretary has written to chief constables emphasising that the police must ensure that crimes are recorded accurately and honestly."
On Wednesday a survey by academic suggested violent crime fell by 12 per cent last year, based on records from 117 casualty departments and walk-in centres across England and Wales.
An inquiry by MPs, which began last year, exposed a number of serious failings to record crime accurately.
In their final report, published earlier this month, the Commons committee said senior police officers have allowed misrecording of crime figures to become "ingrained".
It concluded there was strong evidence the fall in crime had been "exaggerated", and that police chiefs, ministers and official bodies were guilty of "long-standing failures".
MPs blamed the police for allowing "lax" standards to affect the way crime is recorded, but stopped short of estimating how much of the problem was due to deliberate manipulation of figures. They also accused ministers of "lamentable complacency".

Interim Assessments
The READ Act requires use of an interim assessment to determine whether a student has a significant reading deficiency in grades K through 3. A request for Information (RFI) was initiated by the department to solicit reading interim assessment tools for inclusion on the Colorado State Board of Education Approved List of Interim Assessments, pursuant to C.R.S. 22-7-1209. In the fall of 2013, the department conducted a review process and submitted interim reading assessments to the State Board for approval to use with the READ Act for 2014 and in subsequent school years. Read more information about the approved interim READ Assessments.
Diagnostic and Summative Assessments
On March 12, 2013, the State Board voted to approve lists of approved diagnostic and summative assessments per requirements of the Colorado READ Act. Diagnostic assessments are required only for students identified with a significant reading deficiency for the purpose of identifying the child's specific reading deficits(s). Summative assessments are not required.

Extra! Extra! Top Blogs for the Latest on Windows 7
We're always looking for places to get the latest and most helpful information, and this month we're covering Windows 7. We asked the community where they went for Windows 7 information, tips and tricks, and here's what they said:
Saturno suggested GlobalKnowledgeBlog for its section on Windows 7 that is always being updated with new materials. Engineering Windows and the Windows 7 Team Blog are also great stops on your way to a better understanding of the operating system. Johnstockman enjoys the Microsoft Springboard Windows 7 blog for help in Windows 7 deployment.
Slack400 recommends Windows Networking and SearchEnterpriseDesktop for more in-depth information. Some of his favorite guides on SearchEnterpriseDesktop:
- A guide to Windows 7 migration tools
- Windows 7's XP Mode can help with compatibility, as a last resort
- The basics of planning an enterprise desktop migration to Windows 7
The Windows 7 Blog is another compilation of developments in Windows 7 and Windows in general. Check out IT Knowledge Exchange's options for Windows 7-related blogs as well: Windows Enterprise Desktop by Ed Tittel, Windows 7: Through the Looking Glass by Tony Bradley, and The ranting of an IT professional by Jason Tramer highlights Windows 7 on a pretty regular basis. Of course, there are always the Enterprise IT Watch Blog and the answer forums for those questions or quirks that you can't find anywhere else.

Google's Person Finder deployed after earthquake and tsunami in Japan
Google has deployed its Person Finder Crisis Response technology today after news of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan. From the site:
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami. On this page we are providing the information regarding the disaster and damage with realtime updates.
Complete with emergency numbers in Japan, message boards, transportation information, and maps, the interactive Crisis Response site primarily offers the chance to report information about missing or injured persons or to request information about someone possibly affected by the quake.
Originally created after the Haiti earthquake and recently deployed in response to the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand last month, the tool was built by Google's "philanthropic arm, Google.org." Since the project is open-source there have been non-Google contributors in addition to Google's Crisis Response team.
For more information on the disaster or the project, go to the Person Finder site directly.

250,000 seater for Windows 7
According to a Microsoft press release, T-Systems International, a Deutsche Telekom AG subsidiary and ICT provider, is migrating all of its managed desktop services to Windows 7 Enterprise. Dr. Ferri Abolhazzan, a member of the T-Systems Board of Management and head of production, praised Windows 7's features and improved security such as BitLocker, DirectAccess, and the support for roaming profiles. The release also highlighted the opportunity to save costs in energy, "The built-in power management features in Windows 7 will help decrease power consumption, as well as prolong the battery life of laptop computers."
The company is migrating 250,000 managed seats to the new OS, in an effort to standardize desktop deployment. T-Systems isn't the only company making the migration or singing Windows 7's praises, so it's looking good for the OS, whose first service pack was recently released.

Groupon does IT, but can they make it catchy? (No.)
Would you buy your IT help at the same place you snagged that great burrito deal? That's what Groupon was hoping in a recent (possibly record breaking) deal: $12,500 for $25,000 worth of "Business Intelligence or cloud services," offered by Ajilitee. And right next to it? A Microdermabrasion offer.
Clever marketing stunt? Testing the waters for big ticket items? It's hard to tell, particularly since it appears that no one actually bought the offer, but apparently Ajilitee is happy with the buzz it's generated.
Windows Thin PC: True benefit or more of the same?
Has the solution to the "Windows 7: To VDI or not to VDI" dilemma finally arrived? Suddenly Microsoft's July extension of VDI use rights as part of their Software Assurance licensing benefits comes into focus. With the release of Windows Thin PC, or WinTPC, Microsoft simplifies the debate for users already enrolled in the Software Assure Program.
Whereas other users have to pay an extra cost for Windows Virtual Desktop Access subscriptions to use thin-client devices, future users of WinTPC won't have to buy a VDA license, as explained by Gavriella Schuster, General Manager for the Windows Commercial business, in the Windows Team blog:
WinTPC is a smaller footprint, locked down version of Windows 7, designed to allow customers to repurpose their existing PCs as thin clients. PCs with WinTPC will not require the VDA license that regular thin clients will need to access VDI desktops. WinTPC is expected to be available for download from the Microsoft Connect Site in Q1 2011.
This benefit approach is Microsoft's way of helping companies maximize technology investments by lowering or eliminating the up-front costs of thin clients to be used for VDI as well as the cost of licensing. Another concern for Microsoft, as outlined by Karri Alexion-Tiernan in a blog post, is to address the shrinking budgets for new devices. Allowing customers to utilize existing PCs frees up some of that budget to be spent "towards devices that offer more functionality and flexibility, such as new Windows 7 PCs, tablets, or slates." While there is much skepticism from the experts, WinTPC is nonetheless slated to be released this month. More announcements are to be made tomorrow, so we'll update you on any news.
Is Microsoft going to be too late to the tablet party?
While the iPad infiltrated the consumer market before sneaking its way into the enterprise – to many people's chagrin and still only with a sliver of enterprise users – perhaps Microsoft is taking the backwards approach: Enter the enterprise market with Windows-equipped tablets after the market is full-fledged and saturated. Hey, it worked with their mobile timeline, right?
What do you think of WinTPC? Not impressed by Microsoft's unending attempts to lock users in? Let us know in the comments section or send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Windows 7: How 7 companies are making the migration
With enterprise IT's evolution comes the evolution of its operating system of choice, which for many is some flavor of Windows. Since Windows 7's release, there has been some hesitation to migrate across the board, with many companies still holding on dearly to Windows XP. It seems that those who have made the jump, or stuck their toes in the Windows 7 water, are pretty satisfied with the outcome. We polled some IT Knowledge Exchange members, and got some glowing reviews.

These are the days of our Windows operating systems
With last week's release of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, you may be experiencing some hesitation or caution when approaching the installation of this major update. As Ed Bott has observed, there have been no major issues reported by those who have taken the leap and installed SP1.
If you're still in testing mode, however, he recommends using the SP1 Blocker toolkit from Microsoft to prevent the service pack's delivery via Windows Updates. He also has some good advice for those ready to install the new package, or really any new major update:
- Create a manual system restore point to return to in case of a problem.
- Perform a manual image backup of your system prior to installation.
Michael Morisy recently talked about the plethora of Windows options available on the market right now. One man took it a step further, and took a walk down Windows memory lane. Whether you're planning a company roll out of Windows 7, or you're considering the installation of SP1, take a minute (or ten) to go back to your roots:

Are you ready for the Windows XP retirement party?
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Windows 7's birthday, and now we're being told to start etching a more sobering date in stone:
April 8, 2014: The Day Windows XP Dies
This comes from Ed Bott, via Ed Tittel:
Service Packs 1 and 1a were retired back in 2006. Service Pack 2 rode off into the sunset last month, on July 13. And Service Pack 3 will be retired along with all editions of Windows XP on Patch Tuesday, April 8, 2014.
It's true that this date has been pushed back twice, but this might be the actual end of the line, as both Eds point out, that at this juncture, Microsoft will almost certainly be handling at least 4 generations of Windows. The SKU count (i.e., the available flavors of Windows) enters dangerous territory:
- XP has Home, Professional, Starter, Media Center and Tablet Edition, as well as the 64-bit editions.
- Vista has Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Vista Business, Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate.
- Windows 7 has Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate, and Thin.
I've harped on this a lot in the past, but in a bid to maximize profits, Microsoft has littered the market with far too many Windows product versions, or what the company calls SKUs (for "stock keeping unit," retailing term). And while we can try to dumb down the conversation by explaining how, in any given market, customers only have two or three or four choices, or whatever, the fact remains: One version is not just enough, it's optimal from the customer point of view. Just ask Apple: It offers just one version of Mac OS X. It's called Mac OS X. Not Mac OS X Media Center Edition or Mac OS X Arbitrarily Limited Edition. Just Mac OS.

Three cloud storage start-ups to reckon with
Start-ups are raising venture capital everywhere we look. Here are some of the most promising of the start-ups providing storage as a service that are well on their way to being a force to reckon with.
The San Fransisco-based storage-as-a-service provider has raised $7 million in its second round of venture funding, totaling $13 million to date. The company announced plans to open a New York office to expand its sales and services to the East Coast as well as improving its "distributed object-based storage platform, adding full multi-tenancy for Service Providers who want to offer Virtual Private Clouds, and new tiering algorithm for the Private clouds environments."
Its major accomplishment so far is doubling its funding in May 2010 after successfully delivering an email platform to Telenet's over 2 million users.
The Silicon Valley-based file storage and sync provider has raised $10 million in its second series of funding, totaling $16 million to date. Often compared to Dropbox, Egnyte's service utilizes a hybrid cloud solution that is geared toward SMBs. The client links a network-attached storage device to its office computers, constituting the local cloud where all files are synced and backed up. The local cloud is then linked to Egnyte's servers for a remote access-enabled web backup. Clients are given security permission layers and have control over file sharing administration.
Egnyte experienced a quadrupling of its customer base in 2010, and boasts over 500,000 user licenses and 5 billion files synced. Its claim to beating Box.net in large data upload speed is backed by its average of 3,000 file uploads and downloads per minute. Egnyte's plans for its most recent funding is to expand to international markets while increasing domestic sales, marketing and engineering. Look out for their logo in the enterprise application section of the next version of the iPad's app store.
Despite Egnyte's claims to speeding by Box.net's capabilities, this Palo Alto-based online file storage and collaboration software provider takes the cake with its $48 million in its fourth round of funding. Rather than Dropbox, Box.net gets compared to a certain social networking site because of its young founders, which may serve as its greatest asset. As Box's Chief Executive Aaron Levie told the Wall Street Journal, big vendors such as "Microsoft are just not innovating fast enough," which in turn "create[s] huge…opportunities for guys like Box." The company plans to double its 140-person staff within the next year, expand to international markets and step up their game in mobile applications. Good thing, too, since it's servicing 5 million users at 60,000 companies, 73 % of which are in the Fortune 500, including Cisco and Panasonic.
Where is your company looking for its cloud storage and backup solutions? Are startups meeting the needs of small, medium, and big enterprises alike, or is there something left to be desired at the moment? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments section or send me an email at email@example.com.

When it comes to storage as a service, it's off to the races
Now that we've wrapped up cloud security, it's time to look at what we can do with that secured cloud and there's one roaring hot area we haven't touched on much: Cloud storage, aka storage as a service. Consumer cloud storage has been taking off, and as we've seen in the mobile device and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) worlds, where the consumers go, business is sure to follow.
Already, we're seeing one company that might be gearing up to be a contender: Box.net, which recently received funding totaling about $80 million, is being compared to an early Facebook in terms of potential. A better comparison, however, might be SaaS, and now Platform-as-a-Service, juggernaut Salesforce.com.
In 5 years, that company took an admittedly all-star pedigree (Box.net's founders are 20-something young guns, hence the Facebook comparisons) to IPO for $100 million, with a current market capitalization of $17 billion. Now that's cool, and this business-centric territory seems to be where Box is aiming, unlike consumer services Mozbe and Dropbox. As the Seattle Times reports:
Box's focus on the enterprise market makes it seem more mundane than some of the other investments that Andreessen Horowitz has made in more widely used Internet services — a group that, besides Facebook, includes Twitter, Zynga, Skype and Groupon. It also means there probably won't be any Oscar-nominated movies made about Box, as Zuckerberg got with "The Social Network," and Levie seems unlikely to be named Time magazine's person of the year, as Zuckerberg was last year.
But that doesn't mean Box can't deliver a huge windfall for its investors, said John O'Farrell, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. "Enterprise software is a less sexy space, but that has created a huge opportunity for investors like us," O'Farrell said.
There are, of course, a number of other options, ranging from simple off-site backup plans that run nightly to a bevy of managed services to help both simplify storage while still offering a high degree of control. One thing is certain, however: When it comes to storage, the future is cloudy.

Nixon Peabody, a law firm with offices in 19 cities including Albany, says it will downsize its staff, cutting 20 attorneys and 36 other staff.
No lawyers working in Nixon Peabody's upstate New York locations — Albany, Rochester and Buffalo — are being laid off, said Allison McClain, director of media relations. She said the firm would not disclose whether any other staff in Albany are losing their jobs.
Managing Partner Richard F. Langan Jr. cited consequences of the current economic downturn as the reason for the staff reductions.
"While we enter 2009 with a solid platform to build upon, we are also faced with many business challenges that other law firms face — reductions in client demand for legal services, which result in reduced work volumes for attorneys and paralegals, in the face of an increasing cost of doing business," he wrote in announcing the cutbacks. "Our people are our most valued asset and the decision to downsize is hard."
According to Nixon Peabody's Web site, the firm has 800 attorneys in cities that include New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Paris and Shanghai.

Diving into the 'why' of consumer behaviour
Neuroscience has become a rapidly emerging tool for marketers to understand the choices and preferences of consumers. At the recent Online Retailer Conference, Marketing spoke with Katharina Kuehn, director and co-founder of RDG Insights and one of Australia's first and leading neuro-marketing strategists about tapping into the non-conscious minds of consumers, and Australia's place in what is a global trend. Marketing: What will you cover in your lecture at the Online Retailer Conference? Katharina Kuehn: Basically, I'm a neuroscientist and I specialise in understanding customers emotions and subconscious minds, and how they drive attention, perception and behaviour. My presentation will be about understanding how sellers can meet the non-conscious needs of today's customers, and how they can quickly gauge their attention and attraction and to their brand and product. I take them through how attention and…

American Idol: Top 6 PerformApril 28th, 2010 - 4:11 pm ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Apr 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Ryan opened the show by sharing that last week's "Idol Gives Back" raised over 45 million dollars! That is a terrific feat especially in these hard times. Last night, as American Idol celebrated the music of Shania Twain, it is less than a month until this season's "American Idol" is crowned. Shania was on the show, to mentor for the contestants, and she said that it will be difficult, with so many diverse types of singers to try to do her songs.
Lee went first with Shania's hit "Still The One." He transformed the song from country to rock, and it was quite good. Randy felt he did a good job making it his own. Ellen felt he did better than 'a pretty good job' and always does a great job of making songs his own. Kara said that the sound of his voice on every song makes it feel very relevant, and he did a good job. Simon agreed with everything that everybody said and felt it was 'absolutely the best song out of Shania's collection."
Michael decided to sing "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" and he did a terrific job as well. It would not be easy to choose a winner this season, if I had to, although I just don't feel that this season had the magic which was present in other seasons. Randy felt Mike really found his zone. Ellen said she was a tiny bit nervous with him taking on the song, but he sounded like Luther Vandross. She felt it was beautiful. Kara felt he was very connected when he sang. Simon said that it did sound like Luther, but felt the performance was a little bit 'wet' and Randy asked what he meant by 'wet'. Simon said, "Well it was the opposite of dry." Then he added that it was a bit 'girly' for Big Mike. "It was written by a girl!!" the other judges chimed in. "Well, that could be why," Simon chuckled. Shania was in tears, and said that he did a great job.
Casey sang the song "Don't" and said that he was more excited about this performance than any of them. "It's a singing song, I don't think I've sang yet…" And he was absolutely awesome! Up until now, he was just another pretty face in my book, but he really did a great job with this song. And there were tears in his eyes when he finished. Wow.
Randy said that it was one of the best Casey James performances ever. Ellen stated," I was going to say the exact same thing, I actually think it was your best performance to date. Kara said that he did not hide or cover up anything, he was raw and vulnerable and great. Simon agreed with Randy (and everyone else) that this was Casey's best performance so far. Shania screamed," You totally nailed it!" after giving Casey a hug.(Simon had actually suggested Casey kiss her on the lips in gratitude, but she managed to gracefully make it a hug.)
Crystal sang "No One Needs To Know" and said that it was a message to her boyfriend and "He'll man up one of these days." He'd better hurry, cause this girl is going places! Randy kinda liked it, but it wasn't his favorite performance of Crystal's but it was good. Ellen said there is nothing Crystal can't do, although it wasn't her favorite but that it like saying it wasn't my favorite color of the rainbow. Kara said it wasn't her best, but it was very good. Crystal said it wasn't the biggest, but the biggest isn't always the best. Then Simon piped in saying "We don't like Crystal this week, and this is the only week where I haven't actually liked your performance." Crystal came back and said that she enjoyed doing the song, and she is fine with it.
Aaron came next with "You've Got A Way" and again…did a great job! Randy said this was definitely Aaron's area of expertise. Ellen said, "This is gonna be tough because everybody is doing well. "I still can't get over the fact that you are 16 years old (and Aaron interrupted her to say'17, I'm 17 now')" Kara said it was good. Simon said that the last few weeks Aaron had really struggled and tonight he was a different artist, it felt sincere and believable. "Well done."
And then it was time for Siobhan to sing "Any Man of Mine" and she has the attitude to pull it off. She sounded really country, which was a surprise coming from Siobhan, but she pulled it off, and rocked the end with her high reaching vocals! Randy loved it, the whole 'punk country look' and all. Ellen said "Way to pull the 'Shania Twain' into the station…way to end the show. Kara stated, "Guess who's back-Siobhan" and Simon said it was fun and good.
It was a fun, awesome show with a great deal of talent and picking just one is very hard. Who will America send home? Tune in tonight and see!

Bloomberg News
Boeing Co., the biggest commercial airplane maker, is seeking approval from U.S. regulators to fuel jets with a "green" diesel made from vegetable oils and fats that will reduce consumption of fossil fuels and curb greenhouse-gas emissions.
The fuel produces less than half the carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle than fossil fuels and will cost about $3 a gallon in the U.S., Chicago-based Boeing said today in a statement.
Approval to use a fuel made from vegetable fats would increase options for airlines that are already using other types of biofuels made from inedible plant material.
Photos: Biofuel scientists making headway on cheaper algae-based crude
Existing refineries that mostly supply the trucking industry in the U.S., Europe and Singapore may provide as much as 600 million gallons (2.27 billion liters) of the fuel for jets annually, or about 1 percent of global aviation demand, according to the statement.
The European Union is encouraging airlines to buy cleaner fuels with a cap on greenhouse gas emissions. Aviation accounts for about 2 percent of global carbon-dioxide emissions.

Valentine's day is coming on February 14th and Yes is running a special Valentine's Day promotion for the month of February. They are offering a combo of a Yes 4G Mifi or home gateway that comes with a free USB modem and a chance to publicly declare your love on their big Yes LED Cube in front of Lot 10 on Valentine's day.
For RM499, they are offering either Yes huddle MiFi or a Yes Zoom gateway which comes with 2x RM50 reloads. Looking at the details, they are giving RM30 free credit upon activation. On top of that,
they will give RM60 loyalty credit for every 6 months within the 1 year subscription period they give RM60 if you stay with them for 6 months and they will give additional RM100 if you stay on further until 12 months. That makes the Yes huddle Mifi and Yes Zoom effectively RM249 if you stay with them for a year.
In the promo, they listed a total bundle of RM190 credit but from our calculation it is RM130 bundled credit upfront and additional
RM120RM160 credit if you stay on for a year. Not sure if there's any mistake but do clarify with them before signing up. In addition, they will also give a free Yes Go USB Modem with RM50 rebate credit for your loved one. Seriously, a USB stick as a Valentine's Day gift? We rather you give the Yes Huddle Mifi as a gift instead.
Only those that purchase the Valentine combo will be entitled to submit their dedications online. The top 10 will be picked and shall be notified on February 13th, the day before the dedications go live on V-day. As extra goodies, they are also throwing additional prizes for the best top 3 submissions for the entire month. So if you want your message to be on the cube, you better do so before February 12th.
For more information, head over here.
Sound like good timing to grab Huddle Mifi and Yes account.
Anyway, Yes had decommited on the launch of android phone. Previously they said might launch 2011, but until today still no news on that..
Still thinking whether to go for this…
I already knew it is going to be a failure the moment they announce it. I heard the prototype is running single core, how to fight quad core smart phone coming this year?
I am waiting for the phone as well. Even Gruop CEO words also tak boleh pakai. He mentioned during YTL Power AGM in Nov 2011 that the phone will be out in Jan 2012 at half-the-price of iphone.
A Nokia Windows Phone 7 with 4G is more believable than Yes coming out with their own phone. No way they will make their own phone. Malaysia market is too small unlike the US where it is big enough to make AT&T or Verizon exclusive models.
May be they too ambitious, or they just have big dream, but bad execution like other…
Agree that Malaysia market is too small, really not worth to create a model for YTL Yes 4G Wimax only. Anyway, even YTL want a piece of cake of LTE…… When the time they roll out their android phone, may be it will not attractive anymore.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan - Consumer Review

Great Value for the Money
By reviewer22 on
Vehicle2012 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
ReviewWe actually are leasing a 2012 Cruze 1LT.
The ride and quietness of the car are comparable to something much more expensive.
The interior is equally impressive for a car that come to @ 20K with tax.
You are not getting a Lexus ES350 for 20K, so let's be realistic too.
This is a commuter car for us, but the back seat is just fine two kids fit just fine in their car seats.
I don't know that I would want to be an adult in the back of any car in this size for any period of time.
The disk/drum combo is more than adequate for everyday driving.
The steering is crisp and the handling is quite good.
If there is a weak spot, I would say it's the OEM Firestone tires.
Best FeaturesLove the thick, comfortable leather steering wheel and the blue tooth phone feature.
Worst FeaturesWhy not put a remote gas door release in the car. I am quite used to this feature, but think it's just a good idea in general. I would definitely recommend this car.

Hey, I claim that incest is really disturbing, i could never have sex with my bro, but it shouldn't be illegal, because you can't help who you love, and it isn't hurting anyone, not even them.!!
#2 Dec 22, 2007
Truly disgusting! I am adopted and I can't imagine being with my adoptive brother and our kids wouldn't have defects because there is no genetic link but it is still totally and completely disgusting. FREAKS! I'm so glad they aren't here in the US South!
#3 Dec 22, 2007
It is hurting the kids who are born with birth defects and the taxpayers who have to pay for the healthcare of these kids too!
#4 Dec 29, 2007
I think this is a tricky situaton however this couple do seem to love eachother so what if they are brother and sister ? I mean it happens all the time, its not like they grew up together is it? I mean who knows who anyone is - the mistake they made was going public! he or she should have changed their name and denied it- I would have done. good luck to them both.

I really dont even know who Im supposed to respond to this. However, I can say this much, Its SICK, nasty, illegal, morally incorrect and not to mention it states perfectly clear in the bible that this is wrong! I mean really, isnt there enough people in this world. Why must one result to his/her brother for love. These kids are going to be so messed up in the head its not even funny. How are you supposed to explain to little Johnny that wants to come spend the night with you that your mom is also you aunt and your dads your uncle? What freaks!!!!!!!!!!
#6 Dec 30, 2007
If you've seen my sister, that alone would turn you against incest...And if we mated good lawd, godzilla and mothra mating -what a thought....

What is sad is in todays time,a lot of women are having babies by 2 & 3 or more guys.How can you not know if somewhere along the line kids won't hook up with a half brother or sister in their future.
I tease my friend because it's sad when her children will say.."my brother's dad came and got him.My sisters' dad will pick her up in a little while.And who knows when my dad will be here.And half the time these woman don't even know who the "babbies" daddy is.
Stop doing this to kids.Think about who you sleep with.Question,do I want a baby with this loser?

Yes, and mankind fell by eating the forbidden fruit (which was NOT sex, incidentally, as God told Adam and Eve to participate freely in that activity).
We don't live in Paradise anymore. We have God's laws to help us to get back to the Garden. God has forbidden incest, as well you know. If we ignore this, we are just following Adam and Eve's bad example, don't you see?
#12 Jan 11, 2008
these people are sick and should be locked up sick o
#13 Jan 11, 2008
No, I really can not say I see on that. IF god created Adam and Eve then in his all-knowing way he knew that the only way for their children to reproduce was through incest.
Did incest not occur again in the bible with Lott who god spared? Again, with him being all knowing he would have foreseen the upcoming incest. If that isn't enough, did not everyone alive now descent from yet another bout of incest from Noah's family?
Sorry to burst that bubble but the christain god is all about the freaky incest!
#14 Jan 11, 2008
I am sorry, but this is just sick. Find someone else, maybe a cousin! those 4 kids children are gonna have some issues. Every recessive trait that they hold, will undoubtedly come out somewhere down the line. Sick freaks.
#15 Jan 11, 2008
Patrick and Susan are very sick people. I feel sorry for the children and the childrens children because they are the ones who will suffer for the sins of the parents. That is just common sense but if you don't believe it, read your Bible.
People who don't think Jesus is coming back soon better start looking around at the world and see what is going on. Actually they don't even have to look at the world just look at your local news and see how violent crime and other crimes have increased in the past five years.
#16 Jan 11, 2008
You know people KEEP saying that and it keeps NOT happening. How do you know he did not come back 2000 years ago? He did say he would return before the generation passes from the earth.
#17 Jan 11, 2008
It may say that in the bible, but in the bible it also has humans being born of incestuous relationships...Thats how the bible has the world being populated.
I do agree is is nasty, disturbing, genetically damaging, etc. It should NEVER be legalized.
#18 Jan 11, 2008
This is typical white bahavior!!!!!
And as you see it most of you are agreeing to this so.. its not a racial comment.....
#19 Jan 11, 2008
As long as family & marriage can be redefined as "anything", then this is the result.
The rationalization is EQUAL for homosexuals getting married and for multiple marriage and marriage with relatives. If it is OK to redefine it for one group, it is OK to redefine it for ALL groups.
This is what happens in a society that makes everything relative and nothing absolute. Enjoy!
#20 Jan 11, 2008
Ahh yes, lets keep marriage sacred. It should only be for one man and one woman. Without a doubt they have kept it sacred..I mean only what...half of them end in divorce now?
I almost think it is fear that makes people afraid to allow gay couples to marry. Would be a shame if they actually have a better success rate with then straight people.
Sex between consenting adults should be just that..between those adults. No one else.

The new series "Teach: Tony Danza" (9 p.m., A&E;) may not save America's educational system, but you can't say that it doesn't follow recent trends. For starters, Danza joins a parade of former stars from the '70s and '80s showing up on new shows this fall. Tom Selleck, Jimmy Smits and Florence Henderson are the most notable. But don't forget Gerald McRaney's supporting role on "Undercovers" and Dabney Coleman on "Boardwalk Empire."
In addition to its revenge-of-the-'80s appeal, "Teach" offers yet another wrinkle in the weird evolution of reality television. In the beginning, reality made stars of virtual unknowns. Think Richard Hatch. Then Ozzy Osbourne showed how the genre could revive the careers of the formerly famous. While "The Osbournes" and its many imitators have provided a cheap variation on the sitcom, "Teach" and its star approaches its mission and its documentary format with earnest deliberation.
Apparently, Danza, star of "Taxi" and "Who's the Boss?", always wanted to be a teacher but found another calling. Now 60, he wants to see whether he can still give back. He hopes the series, set in a large Philadelphia high school, will inspire other folks his age and younger viewers to give teaching a shot and shine a positive spotlight on urban education. Good intentions, he has a few.
But Danza is still a star, and the series can come off as a vanity project, even when he acknowledges that it might come off as a vanity project. The camera never strays far from Danza. We see him nervously approaching a class of sophomores, offering a long-winded and self-referential pep talk as an assistant football coach and working the stands during a miserable rainy Friday-night football game.
When the camera focuses on his students (several quite dubious of his talent, intelligence and intentions), they are all talking about one thing: Tony Danza. And during his off hours, while kicking back over beers with an old friend, Danza ruminates about the show's main subject: Tony Danza.
Way back in 1997, I had the opportunity to review the short-lived NBC sitcom "The Tony Danza Show." I recall being struck by the series' single-minded focus on its star and how he seemed to appear in and dominate every scene. The overall impression was that of an insecure performer desperate for a comeback. More than a dozen years later, I'm getting the same old feeling.
• Few people seem to enjoy playing the clueless fool more than David Cross, who stars as a temp-turned-boss in the new sitcom "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" (9 p.m., IFC). He's joined here by his "Running Wilde" co-star Will Arnett.
Tonight's other highlights
• Allison has disturbing visions on "Medium" (7 p.m., CBS).
• An online chat ends ominously on "CSI:NY" (8 p.m., CBS).
• Jack and Dan quickly tire of a vain forensics expert on "The Good Guys" (8 p.m., Fox).
• A bickering brood develop super powers on "No Ordinary Family" (8 p.m., ABC).
• A Samaritan shows vigilante tendencies on "Blue Bloods" (9 p.m., CBS).
• A carmaker's cover-up proves deadly on "Outlaw" (9 p.m., NBC).

text: I have searched the forum everywhere, and can't seem to find a solution or even someone who is having the same problem that I currently am. After sitting all winter, this 2000 MC X-Star is flooding fuel through the TBI system and it's pumping so much fuel, that the engine is coming close to hydro-locking on gas. I've pulled the TBI system, checked the fuel regulator, and it doesn't appear that there is any fuel flowing back to the tank at all. I've spoken to Indmar, and a MasterCraft dealer, and both are saying it is the carter fuel pump in the tank that is the culprit. Apparently there is a fuel pressure module in the pump pod somewhere that isn't allowing fuel to flow back to the tank. A new fuel pump module is on it's way, but I'm having my doubts as to whether there is acutally a pressure regulator in the fuel pump module. Any ideas, comments or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated on this one. I'm pretty frustrated at this point.

Estate of Kimbrell
Sandstrom, Justice.
[¶1] Phyllis Kimbrell appealed from district court orders entered in the administration of the Estate of Gerald C. Kimbrell, Deceased ("Estate"). We conclude she received a homestead estate in Gerald Kimbrell's homestead for life or until she remarries, subject to existing encumbrances, and we affirm.
[¶2] Gerald and Phyllis Kimbrell married in 1990. When Gerald Kimbrell died in 2002, he was survived by Phyllis Kimbrell and three adult children from a previous marriage. Gerald Kimbrell's 1986 will left his estate to his children, without specifically devising his homestead. Throughout their marriage, the Kimbrells lived on Gerald Kimbrell's homestead, which has an appraised value of $65,000 and is subject to a mortgage used to purchase contiguous land now owned by Phyllis Kimbrell.
[¶3] The net augmented estate was valued at $742,075.76. Phyllis Kimbrell received $394,354.92 in non-probate transfers, $10,000 in exempt property, and an $18,000 family allowance. She sought an order granting her a fee simple absolute title to the homestead or an order requiring the Estate to pay the mortgage on the homestead property. The district court concluded that her "statutory right to receive a homestead interest in the property owned by the Decedent at the time of his death . . . is not a fee simple absolute interest, but more akin to a life estate," and that the Estate was not required to pay the mortgage. The court issued an order granting her a "homestead estate" in the homestead property, with "the right to the possession, care, control, income and rents of the above-described real property for life or until she remarries . . . subject to existing encumbrances." In an order approving the personal representative's final report and distribution of the property in the Estate, the district court granted her "a homestead estate with right to possession, care, control, income and rents for life or until she remarries in the [homestead] property." Phyllis Kimbrell appealed the district court orders.
[¶4] The district court had jurisdiction under N.D. Const. art. VI, § 8, and N.D.C.C. §§ 30.1-02-02 and 27-05-06. The appeal was timely under N.D.R.App.P. 4(a). This Court has jurisdiction under N.D. Const. art. VI, §§ 2 and 6, and N.D.C.C. §§ 30.1-02-06.1 and 28-27-02.
[¶5] Phyllis Kimbrell has raised several issues relating to the nature of the interest created by the homestead provisions in N.D.C.C. ch. 30.1-07 and the application and interpretation of N.D.C.C. chs. 30-16 and 30.1-07 and N.D.C.C. § 47-18-01. Relying on several references to homestead allowances in North Dakota's adoption of the Uniform Probate Code in N.D.C.C. tit. 30.1 and two Montana cases, In re Estate of Merkel, 618 P.2d 872 (Mont. 1980), and In re Estate of Martelle, 32 P.3d 758 (Mont. 2001), Phyllis Kimbrell contends she "must be awarded the marital homestead in fee simple plus $15,000.00; alternatively she must be awarded the homestead in fee simple up to its value of $65,000.00; or, thirdly, she should be awarded a life estate plus a monetary payment of either $80,000.00 or $45,257.58."
[¶6] Section 30.1-07-00.1, N.D.C.C. [U.P.C. § 2-401], provides, in part: "This chapter applies to the estate of a decedent who dies domiciled in this state." Our legislature adopted most of the Uniform Probate Code in 1973. 1973 N.D. Sess. Laws ch. 257. Chapter 30.1-07, N.D.C.C., adopted much of article II, part 4, of the Uniform Probate Code in providing for exempt property and allowances. The General Editorial Board Comment to N.D.C.C. ch. 30.1-07, states, in part:
This chapter describes certain rights and values to which a surviving spouse and certain children of a deceased domiciliary are entitled in preference over unsecured creditors of the estate and persons to whom the estate may be devised by will.
. . . .
States adopting the Code may see fit to alter the dollar amounts suggested in these sections, or to vary the terms and conditions in other ways so as to accommodate existing traditions.
[¶7] U.P.C. § 2-402, which has not been adopted in North Dakota, provides that a decedent's surviving spouse is entitled to a "homestead allowance of [$15,000]" and provides that the "[h]omestead allowance is in addition to any share passing to the surviving spouse or minor or dependent child by the will of the decedent, unless otherwise provided, by intestate succession, or by way of elective share." Instead of the homestead allowance provided in U.P.C. § 2-402, our legislature has enacted N.D.C.C. § 30.1-07-01 [U.P.C. § 2-403], which provides, in part:
In addition to the homestead defined in section 47-18-01, the decedent's surviving spouse is entitled from the estate to a value, not exceeding ten thousand dollars in excess of any security interests therein, in household furniture, automobiles, furnishings, appliances, and personal effects. . . . Rights to exempt property and assets needed to make up a deficiency of exempt property have priority over all claims against the estate, but the right to any assets to make up a deficiency of exempt property abates as necessary to permit earlier payment of the homestead allowance and family allowance. These rights are in addition to any benefit or share passing to the surviving spouse or children by the decedent's will, unless otherwise provided, by intestate succession, or by way of elective share.Section 47-18-01, N.D.C.C., provides, in part:
The homestead of any person, whether married or unmarried, residing in this state shall consist of the land upon which the claimant resides, and the dwelling house on that land in which the homestead claimant resides, with all its appurtenances, and all other improvements on the land, the total not to exceed eighty thousand dollars in value, over and above liens or encumbrances or both.What is now codified as N.D.C.C. § 47-18-01 has been "'construed, not as an attempt to define the meaning of the word homestead, but as an act recognizing the right to a homestead exemption and fixing the amount in area and value of the homestead property which could be held exempt.'" In re Teiten's Estate, 63 N.D. 729, 732, 249 N.W. 913, 914 (1933) (quoting Calmer v. Calmer, 15 N.D. 120, 126, 106 N.W. 684, 686 (1906)).
[¶8] Sections 30-16-01 and 30-16-02, N.D.C.C., also deal with homesteads. Section 30-16-01, N.D.C.C., provides, in part:
In this chapter, unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires:Section 30-16-02, N.D.C.C., provides, in part:
1. "Homestead" has the meaning set forth in section 47-18-01.
2. "Homestead estate" means the right to the possession, use, control, income, and rents of the real property held or occupied by the decedent as a homestead at death.
Upon the death of a person in whom the title to real property constituting a homestead is vested, a homestead estate shall survive, and, until otherwise disposed of according to law, shall be set over to the persons and in the order following:
1. To the surviving spouse for life or until the surviving spouse again marries.
[¶9] "Statutory interpretation is a question of law subject to full review upon appeal." Harter v. North Dakota Dep't of Transp., 2005 ND 70, ¶ 7, 694 N.W.2d 677. "Words used in any statute are to be understood in their ordinary sense, unless a contrary intention plainly appears, but any words explained in this code are to be understood as thus explained." N.D.C.C. § 1-02-02. "When the wording of a statute is clear and free of all ambiguity, the letter of it is not to be disregarded under the pretext of pursuing its spirit." N.D.C.C. § 1-02-05. "'In construing a statute, our duty is to ascertain the Legislature's intent, which initially must be sought from the statutory language itself, giving it its plain, ordinary, and commonly understood meaning. We construe statutes as a whole and harmonize them to give meaning to related provisions.'" Larson v. Larson, 2005 ND 67, ¶ 8, 694 N.W.2d 13, quoting Boumont v. Boumont, 2005 ND 20, ¶ 8, 691 N.W.2d 278.
[¶10] Read together, N.D.C.C. §§ 30-16-01 and 30-16-02 provide that the surviving spouse of a decedent occupying real property as a homestead receives a limited estate: "the right to the possession, use, control, income, and rents of the real property held or occupied by the decedent as a homestead at death," N.D.C.C. § 30-16-01(2), "for life or until the surviving spouse again marries," N.D.C.C. § 30-16-02(1). That estate is limited in size and value by N.D.C.C. § 47-18-01 to "the land . . . and the dwelling house . . . with all its appurtenances, and all other improvements on the land, the total not to exceed eighty thousand dollars in value, over and above liens or encumbrances or both." Construing N.D.C.C. §§ 30-16-01, 30-16-02, 30.1-07-01, and 47-18-01 together, and giving the language used in each of those statutes its plain, ordinary, and commonly understood meaning, we conclude the district court properly determined that Phyllis Kimbrell's interest in the homestead property is a homestead estate, with a right to possession, care, and control of the property, and the income and rents from it for life or until she remarries, subject to existing encumbrances.
[¶11] Phyllis Kimbrell observes that "North Dakota's Uniform Probate Code is littered with references to the term 'homestead allowance,'" and cites N.D.C.C. §§ 30.1-05-01(3), 30.1-07-00.1, 30.1-07-01, 30.1-07-02, 30.1-07-03, and 30.1-12-01. Her reliance on references to homestead allowances in several sections of N.D.C.C. tit. 30.1 is misplaced. Because our legislature chose not to adopt U.P.C. § 2-402, creating a homestead allowance, and, instead, chose to provide a "homestead defined in section 47-18-01" in N.D.C.C. § 30.1-07-01, all references to "homestead allowance" in the probate code must be read with reference to N.D.C.C. §§ 30-16-01, 30-16-02, and 47-18-01. Phyllis Kimbrell's reliance on the Montana decisions of Martelle, 32 P.3d 758, and Merkel, 618 P.2d 872, is similarly misplaced. Those decisions turned on two things not present in North Dakota: (1) When Montana adopted the Uniform Probate Code in 1974, it repealed § 91-2405, R.C.M. 1947, which had allotted to the surviving spouse a life estate in a homestead (a limited form of which North Dakota has retained in N.D.C.C. §§ 30-16-01 and 30-16-02); and (2) Montana adopted what is now codified at § 72-2-412, M.C.A., which is the same, except for the dollar amount, as U.P.C. § 2-402, providing a "homestead allowance of [$15,000]," which North Dakota has not adopted.
[¶12] The orders of the district court are affirmed.

Blink-182 Bio
Blink-182 continued the unexpected 1990s journey of pop-punk into the mainstream. The trio emerged from Southern Californian skate-punk culture with a high-energy stage show heavy with slapstick and fart jokes. But like the slightly older Green Day, closer study revealed hook-filled rock songs obsessed with breakup and loneliness, even occasionally delving into such topics as teen suicide ("Adam's Song")
The band formed in the San Diego suburbs in 1991 when guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge — who'd first picked up a guitar as a teen at church camp — met bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, who was in a garage-band in high school. Drummer Scott Raynor rounded out the trio, who originally called themselves Blink (they added the '182' when an Irish band with the same name threatened a lawsuit). With indie recordings and frequent performances at festivals and clubs, the band — whose early shows featured wet T-shirt and wet pants contests — slowly built a young, devoted following. Their fan base grew in the mid-1990s, when they toured with punk vets NOFX and Pennywise and appeared on the Vans Warped Tour.
The band attracted major label attention in 1997 with their fast-selling indie release Dude Ranch (Number 67), which went platinum on the strength of the modern-rock hit "Dammit (Growing Up)" (Number 11). Soon after, Raynor was fired from the band and replaced by Travis Barker, who had opened for Blink-182 as a member of Orange County pop-punk group the Aquabats. The band signed to MCA, which released their breakthrough album, Enema of the State (Number 9, 1999). The disc — the band's fourth — went triple platinum and spawned two hits, "All the Small Things" (Number Six pop) and "What's My Age Again" (Number Two on the Modern Rock Chart). Suddenly, Blink-182 was everywhere, from the radio to MTV to the teen comedy American Pie, in which the group made a cameo.
The band's next release was a live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (Number Eight, 2000), which yielded one moderately successful single, "Man Overboard." A year later, the trio returned to its SoCal punk-rock roots with Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. The LP took Blink-182 to the top of the album chart for the first time.
The band's 2003 self-titled LP reinforced their penchant for brooding, but also revealed stormy, more atmospheric music; even the Cure frontman Robert Smith appeared on the album. The album shot to Number Three on the pop chart and spawned four hit singles: "I Miss You," "Always," "Feeling This" and "Down." In February 2005, just when it seemed that Blink-182 couldn't get any bigger, they declared an immediate, indefinite hiatus in order to be closer with their growing families. (A Greatest Hits was released later that year.) Shortly after the band split, Hoppus and Barker formed their own group, +44, while DeLonge started alt-rock group Angels and Airwaves.
In September 19th, 2008, Barker was injured when a plane in which he was a passenger crashed outside of Columbia, South Carolina. Barker – who had performed the night before at an event with former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM — suffered second- and third-degree burns. Hoppus and DeLonge visited Barker in the hospital, and in February 2009, the band made their first live appearance since 2005 at the Grammy Awards – and announced they were reforming. They kicked off their reunion tour – with openers Fall Out Boy and Weezer – in July 2009, and they released their sixth studio album, Neighborhoods, in 2010.
In 2012, Blink-182 parted ways with Interscope to release the EP, Dogs Eating Dogs, independently. After the EP's release and continued relentless touring, tension grew between the trio leading to conflicting claims of DeLonge's involvement. While Barker and Hoppus insisted he had quit the group, DeLonge maintained that he had always been involved in the band's work. The band planned to re-enter the studio in early 2015 but repeated scheduling conflicts due to DeLonge's work with Angels & Airwaves and book projects led to his exit from the group – although the bandmates have yet to agree on whether it was by force or choice.
Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba originally stepped in as a fill-in for DeLonge during 2015 shows before officially joining the band as they began recording their seventh album California with producer John Feldmann, which was finally released in July 2016.

T.G.I. Fridays Jun 16, 2010
This is a nationwide chain but one we have never tried. We had tried to find another restaurant using our GPS only to be
let down by a closed location. This is a modern adult restaurant with a bar, which may be why we usually don't go there was begun way back in 1965. For many years it was known as a singles hangout and I guess that is why we never tried it. We were greeted by the hostess and taken to a table. We looked over the menu and Judy picked chicken and pasta and I went for the Fish and Chips. The waitress quickly brought our drinks, Iced Tea for Judy and Coffee for me. Judy enjoyed her dinner but my mine was oily and not good. The waitress was good, the price was within reason but overall I would say that it still is not the kind of place I will try again.

Medium James Van Praagh stopping in Ridgefield
Published 9:35 pm, Tuesday, March 29, 2011
James Van Praagh sees dead people. That isn't simply a famous movie line, it's actually true -- well, depending on your belief system. The acclaimed author and "original ghost whisperer" will talk ghosts and the afterlife at Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, April 3.
Afterward, the best-selling author will sign copies of his latest books.
Van Praagh claims he has been speaking with the dead for more than two decades, and sharing those conversations with audiences. He's appeared on countless talk shows -- with everyone from Larry King to Oprah Winfrey -- and has authored such best-sellers as "Ghosts Among Us: Uncovering the Truth About the Other Side" and "Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message About Life After Death."
He also teaches mediumship development classes, and was the co-executive producer of CBS' former "Ghost Whisperer" drama, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. In a recent interview, Van Praagh discussed his upcoming show and how he found his calling.
Q: When did you realize you had a special gift?
A: I never thought of it as a "special gift." It was a part of who I am and my life experience. As a child, you measure your life with the information you see, feel and hear around you. To me, seeing spirits and auras around people and knowing things before they happened to people were part of my experience. I never judged it or thought it was strange ... it just was. It runs in my family; both my grandparents were extremely intuitive, as well as my mother.
Q: What were you like as a child? Did this come on all of a sudden?
A: From my memory, there wasn't a point where I had to close my eyes and see spirits. It was very much like the little boy in the movie "The Sixth Sense." Except my images were all very positive, not negative and not frightening. It was all very natural, I guess you could say. Children, of course, are very open, because in their mindset they have just come from the spirit world not too far back, so they have yet to clog their minds with judgment and fear. They see only truth.
Q: What is a typical appearance like? In other words, what can Ridgefield Playhouse audiences expect from your show?
A: I tend to see a spirit as they looked right before they died, so they will show me the death conditions. For instance, I might see in my mind's eye a lady who is 73 years of age and dies in a bed, and shows or tells me her sister Katie was on her right side, and there was a clock on the left table next to the lamp which said 4:12 a.m. I describe all the details I am given out to the audience and see where they apply, or I will see someone standing beside someone and begin a mind-to-mind conversation with the spirit. I am known as a "survival evidence medium," which means my job is to give "evidential details" -- names, places, events that the spirit provides to prove to their loved one they are not dead.
Q: Do you find the longer you do this, the more believers you have?
A: I have been doing this work for close to 30 years and I would say that I have seen an enormous shift in the belief system of this country since I first started. Because of this work, it has opened doors to successes in television with ghost shows, movies and best-sellers. There is a common interest everyone shares, questioning: Is there life after death? An interesting Gallup poll was taken several years back. ... It said 10 years ago 48 percent of people believed in an afterlife; in 2009 it was 64 percent. This has been obvious in my audiences. When I first started, mostly only women ages 35 to 65 would come. Now men make up about 40 percent of my audiences.
Q: What are typical audiences for you like?
A: Most people who come to see me are those who are desperate to make contact with a loved one; those who are involved in some aspect of this work and know of me; and lastly, those who are just plain curious. No longer do the husbands get dragged to these shows by their wives, they come on their own volition.
