I've owned a computer since the mid-1980s, when I toted home a shiny new Commodore 64. That was followed by a Commodore 128, which could run C=64, C=128 and CP/M software.
After that I moved to the IBM-compatible world, then started using Windows-based PCs in the early 1990s, followed now by Macs, iPads and iPhones.
On each one of these machines, I installed software that I used regularly, and in some cases really grew to love. Great software makes tedious tasks easier, even fun, and expands your capabilities in dramatic ways.
With that in mind, here are my 10 favorite software programs of all time, listed in chronological order. I don't necessarily think these are the best, but they are programs that I think were good at making life easier. Note that the list does not include games – that's a whole 'nother blog post!
• BobsTerm Pro – One of the reasons I got a Commodore 64 and a 300-baud dialup modem was to be able to write stories at home and send them into the now-defunct San Antonio Light's computer system. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the Commodore to talk to the Light's mainframe, but I did discover computer Bulletin Board Systems, or BBSes, and BobsTerm Pro was my window to that world. The program was incredibly powerful for its time, enabling access to all kinds of online systems. Shortly after I got my C=128, creator Bob Lentini released a version for that machine.
• GEOS – The Commodore 64 was released in 1982, and two years later, Apple released the first Mac, with its intriguing graphical operating system. The 8-bit C=64′s operating system was Commodore BASIC (parts of which were written by a young startup called Microsoft) and it was strictly a command line affair. But GEOS – for Graphical Environment Operating System – from Berkeley Softworks gave the Commodore a dramatic facelift. There was a slew of software that ran on it, including geoWrite and geoPublish, both of which were surprisingly sophisticated for their time. While cool and fun to use, GEOS was incredibly slow on the C=64. The C=128 version brought a welcome speed boost.
• WordPerfect 4.2 – I discovered the granddaddy of MS-DOS word processors when I went to work at the Current, the alternative newsweekly in San Antonio. I was one of the few people on the startup staff who knew the difference between memory and a hard drive, so I was sent out to buy the computer system and software. We bought a bunch of IBM clones and outfitted them with WordPerfect, and though I'd been a WordStar guy for several years, WordPerfect won me over. I stuck with it through the enormously popular WordPerfect 5.1 and the horrendous early Windows versions. I didn't make the switch to Microsoft Word until Office XP, and still kinda miss WordPerfect to this day.
• PCBoard – While working at the Current, I started and ran a BBS that let users read original online content; read print stories before they were published; interact with other readers. Unfortunately, only one person could dial into our 2400-baud, single-line modem at a time. We ran it on PCBoard, a very powerful but simple BBS program written by Fred Clark. It was remarkably customizable – every screen users saw were simple ASCII text files, and editing them was a snap.
• Procomm Plus – When I moved to the Windows platform, I needed a terminal program that would work on the graphical interface that sat atop MS-DOS. Procomm was the pre-eminent terminal program for accessing mainframes and BBSes in the earliest days of Windows, and continued to be a bestseller through the pre-Internet era. It was eventually acquired by Symantec, and development halted as the Internet became the primary way most people went online.
• HomeSite – When I first started crafting Web pages, I used a program called Hot Dog that helped with the arcane HyperText Markup Language. But I soon discovered HomeSite, coded by developer Nick Bradbury, himself a former Hot Dog user. HomeSite didn't mask the HTML code under a WYSIYG interface, but still semi-automated the process of building Web pages. It was eventually bought by a company called Allaire, and then by Macromedia, which in turn was acquired by Adobe. Development ceased on it in 2009.
• Eudora – Named for Southern short story writer Eudora Welty, this cross-platform email program was very popular with both Windows and Macintosh users. Fast, with an easily learned interface, Eudora was also one of the first email programs to offer an effective spam filter. Originally released as freeware, it eventually was offered in a "pro" paid version, and at one point a version was ad-sponsored. Qualcomm bought the program in 1991, but discontinued it 15 years later. Qualcomm helped launch an open-source version based on Mozilla's Thunderbird, and it's still available in this form today.
• Windows Live Writer – Microsoft released Windows Live Writer in 2007, and for bloggers like me who were relying on relatively primitive platforms, it was a godsend. Windows Live Writer provides a powerful, friendly WYSIWYG interface for the most popular blogging platforms, including WordPress, Movable Type, TypePad and more. It lets you edit pictures, insert tables, manage video and more. It also includes a plug-in system for adding new features. I have yet to find anything as good as Windows Live Writer in the Mac world, and it's one big reason why I run Windows 7 in a virtual machine on my Macs.
• Echofon – There are many, many ways to access Twitter, but I think Echofon is the best, particularly for Macintosh and iOS users. Among its biggest strengths is that it syncs between platforms. Settings and tweets marked as read are shared across Macs, iPads and iPhones. Best of all, Echofon lets you control the noise in your Twitter stream, filtering out robotweets from Foursquare, Gowalla and other check-in services.
• Flipboard – This iPad app has become one of the primary ways I keep up with my interests. It turns the links posted by those I follow on Twitter and by my friends on Facebook into an attractively laid-out digital magazine. It also can pull in RSS feeds from any other source, allowing you to build a customized news source. I've been telling my colleagues that Flipboard may hold the key to the future of the news business. If you're an iPad user, you owe it to yourself to download and explore it.
Those are my 10 favorite software programs of all time. What are yours? Leave a comment.

LONDON, Oct. 22 (UPI)–Britain's Advertising Standards Authority said it is investigating complaints that a zombie picture on the side of a bus is too scary.
The group confirmed it has received complaints about the image of a blood-soaked zombie in an advertisement for Tulleys Farm Shocktober Fest, The Mirror reported Tuesday.
The advertisement can be seen on buses in London and Sussex County.
An ASA spokeswoman said officials are looking into whether a full investigation needs to be opened into whether the advertisement violates industry regulations.
Stuart Beare, organizer of the Tulleys Farm Shocktober Fest, said the image wasn't intended to be shocking.
"The image of the zombie girl on our advertising is no worse than many images you'll see at this time of year in newspapers and magazines, on the Halloween costumes in the supermarket aisles and even on kids' TV programs," he said.
"We have been running our Halloween events for over 15 years, and they are extremely popular, with up to 5,000 people a night going through the six haunted houses and rides.
"We are waiting for the Advertising Standards Authority to come back to us with their judgment to see if we have to take the ads off the buses."

Peru Proposes Default Internet Censorship Requiring Opt-in To View Pornography
from the wonder-where-they-got-that-idea-from dept
Techdirt has run a number of posts about David Cameron's dangerous plans to apply default online censorship and make porn opt-in in the UK, supposedly to "protect the children". Now it looks like Peru is following suit (original in Spanish):
The Bill No. 2511/2012-CR (pdf) introduced by Congressman Omar Chehade and the Nationalist caucus raises serious questions about individual freedoms in Peru. The project aims to establish a national system of mandatory filters for all Internet providers to prevent access to pages with pornographic content. This filter would be applied by default to all users of the Internet and the only way around it would be by expressly asking the operator [to turn it off]. To do this, a group of representatives from public bodies would be responsible for determining what content would be subject to censorship. Thus, the proposal seeks to protect minors from access to pornographic sites.
It's not clear whether the Congressman was directly inspired by Cameron, but it seems quite likely, given the close similarity of the two schemes. And we've seen how bad ideas for Internet laws have a tendency to spread rapidly among politicians, notably in the case of France's "three-strikes" approach, which was taken up by the UK, South Korea, New Zealand and the US (albeit in a modified form). If more of these "for the children" censorship bills requiring opt-in to porn start turning up in the near future, we'll know whose fault it is....

Contains Sulphites.
Chablis is Burgundy's northern most region spanning 3,000 hectares centred around the town of Chablis itself in the départment of the Yonne near Auxerre. Though considered part of Burgundy, in terms of geography it is as close to Sancerre and Pouilly Sur Loire as it is to the Côte d'Or, and in terms of soils and climate is actually closer. The vineyard area rolls around Chablis itself and 19 other villages. There are four levels of wine: Petit Chablis; Chablis;Chablis 1er Cru and Chablis Grand Cru, the latter of which there are seven which sit prominently above the town of Chablis itself on sun-blanched south-facing slopes. Soil is a very important factor in the quality and unique style of Chablis and can roughly be divided into two types, firstly Kimmeridgean. This is a kind of clay limestone with a large proportion of fossilized oyster shells. Chablis is on the edge of the Paris rock basin the other side of which is the Dorset village of Kimmeridge from which the soil takes its name. The other soil type is Portlandien, a similar clay limestone structure without the same complexity, giving wines of slightly less sophistication and finesse. The former is the base of the Grands Crus and all of the best Premiers Crus and Chablis Villages vineyards, the latter, generally speaking, is the base for most of the outlying Petit Chablis area. The northerly climate obviously means that vintages can vary quite starkly, summers are mostly hot and sunny, though, with the variation in weather coming more into to play towards the end of the season. The greatest danger during the season is from frost, which can be devastating, so much of the vine-growers early season activity is spent devising ways to protect the vines. One of the more traditional is lighting "smudge pots" throughout the vineyards, in an effort to get warm air circulating around the vines. The quantity and quality of wine produced can therefore vary from year to year. Chablis is obviously a large area and now a very big commercial brand so there are swathe's of rather poor quality and not very good value example around. Fortunately though there are plenty of fine examples, too. At its best Chablis is a unqieuly steely mineral wine that can age extremely well. "Classic" Chablis as we know it today is aged and fermented in steel tanks. However there are a number of growers experimenting with oak, mainly used barrels, not to give any oak flavour to the wine but to improve its texture and complexity. These can make for some of the very finest examples of Burgundy there are. Some of the finest exponents are Vincent Dauvissat, Francois Raveneau, Laurent Tribut, Droin and Moreau Naudet.
Chardonnay is one of the most widely-grown and versatile of all white grape varieties. As a relatively neutral grape, it offers a near transparent map of winemaking style, climate and terroir. It is the ideal grape variety for Burgundy, where it serves to mirror the complex nuances of the myriad of terroirs found in this hallowed land. Chardonnay produces a variety of wines from the minerally and unoaked styles found in Chablis, the fatter nuttier examples in Meursault, to the tropical fruit-driven versions found in the New World. It is also the major grape variety in Champagne, where it produces lively floral wines, namely in the Côte de Blancs. It can be found throughout Europe and the New World thanks to its versatility. As a non-aromatic variety, it has an affinity with oak, whether new or used, French or American.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

sergm wrote:Normal way of MIDI driver installation seems to work more reliably than the way used with the driver setup. Unfortunately, this way requires driver signing for x64 arch, despite it is a userland driver, so it's kinda weird for me why. Nevertheless, the registry hack used to install the driver is incomplete and Windows often overrides it. Not too convenient. Perhaps, I'll end up adding a MIDI driver checker that will run e.g. using task scheduler and restore things to work.

Many craft beer geeks can wax philosophical about different malts, yeast strains and hop varietals, but it's easy to forget about beer's fourth ingredient, water. Beer is around 90 percent water, and many brewers throughout the world attribute much of their beer's flavor to the water with which they brew.
Not only is water a necessary ingredient in brewing beer, but hundreds of gallons of water are also used to sanitize brewing equipment. When all's said and done, it can take anywhere from 8-24 gallons of water to produce a single pint of beer.
Given this, it's no surprise that the following breweries are doing their part in helping with water preservation and water conservation where they can.
Sierra Nevada
If you bought a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale or seasonal beers between August 1 and last Friday, you might have helped save a waterway without knowing it, thanks to Sierra Nevada's Wild Rivers program. A portion of the proceeds from those beers will be donated by Sierra Nevada to the Western Rivers Conservancy and River Network. Even though this promotion ended last Friday (Sept. 17), there's a good chance that Sierra Nevada will continue its Wild Rivers campaign. Sierra Nevada first launched this campaign in May of this year.
Sweetwater Brewing
Sweetwater Brewing of Atlanta, Ga. is also committed to protecting rivers, and one in particular. Since launching the "Save the Hooch" campain in 2006, the brewery has raised more than $150,000 for the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. These funds have been used to support UCR's water quality and river patrol programs. This summer, Sweetwater raised funds by selling paper fish and t-shirts that read, "I gave of my liver to save the river." We should all be so giving.
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
It seems good breweries aren't often far from the water, and this is especially true of Great Lakes Brewing Co., which is just a stone's throw from Lake Erie. Great Lakes Brewing established the Burning River Foundation in 2007 as a result of their popular Burning River Fest, which they throw every year. Both the fest and foundation take their name from the "'watershed moment' that raised a new level of eco-consciousness—the 1969 burning of the Cuyahoga River." Proceeds from the festival support the foundation, which in turn "provides resources for the sustainable future of our waterways."
And Great Lakes Brewing Co. isn't the only brewery looking out for the Great Lakes. Every year, craft brewers and cheesemakers attend the Great Lakes Craft Brewers and Water Conservation Conference to discuss ways to use less water in their crafts. This is imperative, since any "water-intensive" businesses within the watershed must implement water conservation measures in accordance with the Great Lakes Compact. The conference will include presentations on the following: "water conservation, water auditing, rain water harvesting, wastewater treatment and recycling, water science behind the Great Lakes Compact, waste to energy installations, and CIP processes for both brewers and cheesemakers".
Stone Brewing Co.
Stone Brewing's Bill Sherwood will be among the brewers in attendance at the Great Lakes conference next month. This is not surprising considering that Greg Koch, something of a celeberity in the craft beer industry, is a tap water advocate — so much so that the brewery's bistro participated in UNICEF's Tap Project. Through the project, Stone asked its patrons to not only drink tap water, but to make a donation of $1 to UNICEF, which would provide clean drinking water to a child in need for 40 days. While this step may not seem as much about "preservation" as the others, it's refreshing to see a brewery advocate tap water over bottled, which wastes resources and often depletes natural reservoirs.
Anheuser-Busch InBev
It's not just the smaller, craft breweries that are doing their part to save and protect water. Earlier this year, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced its desire to become� the world's greenest brewer, a goal that the company hopes to achieve by reducing its water consumption by 30 percent by 2012. If the company can do so, it will likely be the most water-efficient brewer in the world. UPDATE: According to their website, Anheuser-Bush has reduced water by 37% in its 12 US breweries since adopting that goal.
Miller Coors (SABMiller)
Not to be outdone by its biggest competitor in Anheuser-Busch, Miller Coors is also taking its own steps to conserve water. The company boasts several breweries with a water-to-beer ratio of less than 4:1 (the industry average is 5:1), and Miller Coors aims to reduce its water usage by 15 percent in 2015. This would put their water-to-beer ratio at 3.5:1.
September has been named Miller Coor's Water Stewardship Volunteer Month. This is the second year that Miller Coors employees across the nation have spent the month resting water quality and cleaning up rivers and beaches. Like Sierra Nevada, Miller Coors has partnered with River Network, as well as The Nature Conservancy.
Miller Coors also encourages people to conserve water in their own homes with its� Water Conservation Challenge.
New Belgium Brewing
If you've been counting along, you might notice that New Belgium Brewing is No. 7 on our list of six breweries committed to water conservation. I'm ashamed to say I overlooked one of the most environmentally-conscious breweries out there, but fortunately Melani over at TapHunter.com reminded me to check them out.
When I did, I found that New Belgium published a water usage report last year showing a reduction in water usage for the year prior to that (2008). At that time, they were using 3.8 barrels of water for every barrel of beer.
And like many breweries in this post, New Belgium isn't only interested in conserving the water it uses to brew with. This past summer, they used their appropriately-named Skinny Dip beer to draw attention to the Save the Colorado campaign, of which they are a partner. The Colorado river now runs dry before it reaches the Sea of Cortez, and it faces a myriad of threats, such as climate change, species extinction, invasive species, dams and population growth. If you want to support a brewery that is committed to water conservation and sustainability, you can't go wrong with New Belgium.

Watch Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn get matching tattoos
It's been a while since model Jourdan Dunn has premiered an installment of "Well Dunn," her cooking show for Jay Z's site, Life + Times, but the newest episode features a heartwarming tale of friendship, tattoos and, to fit in with the theme of the show, Thai food.
After running into her best friend Cara Delevingne on the street (what a coincidence!), the models grab a bite to eat and decide to go get matching tattoos. While at the table, Delevingne shows off some of her famous ink, and explains the origin of her most talked-about tattoo: the "Made in England" stamp on the bottom of her foot. "I was going to get 'Made in Taiwan' because I thought it was funnier - I felt like a bit of a doll, a toy that was doing things for other people," she said.
As you've likely seen on Instagram, the girls decided to get double Ds on their hips as their own personal symbol of friendship. As the story goes, Delevingne once asked Dunn to marry her (for the record, she said yes) and the "DD" design came about after the realization that they'd have to double up their last names.
As they got inked, the duo sweetly sang to each other and, naturally, took plenty of iPhone footage to capture the special occasion. These two are truly hilarious, and their lighthearted adventures have earned them the top spot on our list of fashion best friends. Let's be real, they make Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift's relationship look pretty vanilla.

Winter is almost here and for many people that means it's time to pack away the fishing gear and hibernate. For others its time to pull out the winter clothes, bundle up and tough it out on icy cold days at the lake. Wild Bill's Hot Rods will make your fishing a little more bearable in with winter. What is it? Wild Bill's Hot Rods are a wrap that goes around the handle of your fishing rod. The wrap is heated and stays active for about 6 hours once activated. This pretty much eliminates the use of at least one glove, for me, both. How it performed Excellent! These things are great. Personally I can't stand wearing gloves while fishing. It just doesn't feel right to me. Also, my hands don't work well due to my ...Read more

Gabriella Esperson caught and released what may have been a new Wisconsin state record largemouth bass. The fish measured 25.75 inches long, 20.06 inches in girth and weighed 11.05 pounds (on a non certfied scale). The previous record, or current record we should say, is 11.03 pounds. Gabriella quickly released the fish back in the water at the undisclosed location near Edgerton, WI. "I knew this was an old fish and I had to let it go, whether it was a record or not," Gabriella said. "By releasing the fish it allows it to reproduce and continually grow, and hopefully others will do the same down the road.". Read more at: http...Read more

Indian Rhino Poachers Shot Dead
The recent surge in killings of one-horned rhinoceroses in India's northeastern state of Assam by poachers has again shone a spotlight on the endangered animal's fight for survival.

State authorities are fighting back. On Wednesday, two poachers "allegedly involved in the recent killings of rhinos" were shot dead by forest guards, said Niranjan Kumar Vasu, director of Kaziranga National Park, located around 150 miles east of the state's capital Guwahati.
Earlier this month, a rhino was shot dead and stripped of its horn in Kaziranga, a world heritage site and home to the world's single largest population of one-horned rhinos.
It was the second to be killed by poachers in a week and the twelfth this year, according to Mr. Vasu.
Assam's four national parks account for 80% of the world's nearly 3,000 one-horned species, whose scientific name is "rhinoceros unicornis."
Rupak Bhuyan, a forest officer at the Kaziranga National Park, said forest guards killed the poachers Wednesday after an exchange of gunfire. "They were spotted in anti-poaching camps inside the park this morning. While two of them got killed in gunfire, the others fled," he said.
A. P. Rout, additional director general of police in Assam, said authorities were investigating the incident. "I cannot say anything unless investigation results are out."
There are currently 2,505 rhinos in Assam, including 2,290 in Kaziranga National Park followed by 100 in the Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park, 93 in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary and 22 in Manas National Park, according to India's official government rhino census last year. A smaller population of around 100 rhinos is found in the southern part of Nepal.
"The threat mainly comes from heavily-armed poachers, who shoot dead a rhino and vanish within minutes after removing its horn," Mr. Vasu told India Real Time.
Local authorities have set up 153 anti-poaching camps inside the park to safeguard the rhinos. Still, poachers "sneak in" and "resort to all sorts of tactics that include digging pits to trap them, electrocution and gunshots to kill the rhinos," he said.
Also, during floods, an annual occurrence in Assam, rhinos move to higher ground to escape the overflow. "This leaves them vulnerable to poachers," Mr. Vasu added.
Last year, 22 out of total 50 rhino deaths in Assam were caused by poaching versus 11 out of 73 deaths in 2011 and seven out of 79 deaths in 2010, according to state authorities and wildlife groups. So far this year, 12 rhinos have been killed by poachers in the state.
"This is an alarming situation," said Dipankar Ghose, a New Delhi-based rhino conservation expert at the World Wildlife Fund. "The soaring demand for rhino horns in China and Vietnam is driving the slaughter."
Rhinoceros horns, which are basically made of compressed hair, are used in parts of Asia, especially China and Vietnam, in traditional medicine to supposedly treat cancer and other ailments such as arthritis and hangovers. The rhino horn, which can fetch thousands of dollars, is also sometimes carved into bowls or cups or a piece of jewelry.
"It is quite surprising (the) rhino trade has taken a new shape based on a spreading belief in Southeast Asia, unfounded in science," Mr. Ghose said.
Another major cause of concern, Mr. Ghose said, stems from the involvement of groups who use "sophisticated assault rifles" to kill the rhinos. The area is awash with firearms stemming from various low-grade separatist insurgencies in the northeast.
Mr. Ghose called for "effective patrolling" by forest guards who should work in close coordination with local communities to prevent killing of rhinos. "Poachers are smart but why can't we outsmart them?" he asked.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi last month asked federal investigators to help track down militants suspected of using automatic weapons to kill rare one-horned rhinos. He also ordered the state's armed forces to improve surveillance on the border of national parks in order to keep out tribal poacher groups.
Ashok Kumar, vice chairman of the Wildlife Trust of India, a non-profit conservation organization based in Noida, said despite the government's best security efforts, poaching for rhinos has increased substantially over last few years as high prices of the horns "keep tempting" poachers.
"The problem is that while there are huge profits involved, people will continue to risk their lives," Mr. Kumar said.

Becomes first US President ever to request that national health agencies give ME/CFS a higher priority. Thanks are in order.
In April 2011, Courtney Miller, wife of ME/CFS patient Bob Miller, urged President Obama in a Reno Town Hall meeting to ask the NIH to increase funding for chronic fatigue syndrome. At that time the President promised to have NIH "start seeing if they can do more on this particular ailment." And for the past 17 months, ME/CFS advocates have waged an unrelenting collaborative email campaign asking for some report on the result of that pledge.
Now, President Obama "has thrown in on our side"….
According to the following press release from Bob and Courtney Miller which appeared first on Phoenix Rising (http://PhoenixRising.me), President Obama has shared positive news with them in a recent letter.
Aug 17, 2012:
In an unprecedented step, President Obama has asked the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to elevate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in priority, assigning his Deputy Chief of Staff to follow their efforts.
When President Obama promised Courtney Miller to "see if they could do more" for CFS research at a Reno Town Hall meeting last year, he was the first U.S. President to say the words Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Now he has lived up to his promise, becoming the first President ever to ask the nation's health agencies to elevate the priority of CFS!
Thank you, President Obama!
In a July 25, 2012 letter addressed to Mrs. Miller, President Obama describes a report given him by Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health. The important part of the letter is the last paragraph which speaks to the future:
He has asked his Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Nancy-Ann DeParle, to "stay in touch with Dr. Collins at NIH and Dr. Koh at HHS about my interest in their efforts on CFS."
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
Mrs. Miller's communications with the White House confirm that the President's wish to have CFS elevated in priority in the Department of Health and NIH has been conveyed at the highest level.
"President Obama kept his promise in the most important way he can for CFS/ME patients," said Courtney Miller, "by leading a stronger federal commitment to CFS/ME research and a better quality of life for patients. CFS is a health crisis for more than 1 million Americans, and President Obama has thrown in on our side!"
Thanking President Obama
We all need to thank President Obama. It is important that the President know that many patients and their families are affected by CFS and that we are grateful for his efforts. We have made it easy for patients and friends to email the White House Office of Public Engagement, with the following model email.
To: email@example.com
CC: email@example.com
Subject: Thank you for elevating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Mr. President,
I want to thank you for asking the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health to elevate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in priority. I believe that a serious effort by our federal research institutes can produce the science that will restore my life. I am certain your leadership will be a turning point in the ME/CFS health crisis affecting more than a million Americans, and I am deeply grateful for your efforts.

Welcome to My Participant Page
Hello friends and family!
I am participating in the Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer's and raising money in support of the estimated 70,000 British Columbians living with dementia.
By walking, I will honour people who have passed and will acknowledge the work that must be done to ensure help and hope for the people living with the disease today.
I am inspired by the Alzheimer Society of B.C.'s ultimate vision of a world without dementia. This vision begins with a world where people living with the disease are welcomed, acknowledged and included.
Before there is a cure there is care.
The funds I raise will ensure the Society can continue to provide vital support, education and information to people living with dementia and their families. They will also enable research into the causes of and cures for dementia.
Please help me to make a difference by giving whatever you can.

Average vehicle, some problems
By Gwen on Thursday, August 03, 2017I bought this minivan when it was 2 years old. Ive had it for 6 years. It was pretty reliable most of that time. Cons: Last year, the motor in the driver-side window stopped working. This year, the starter had to be replaced. The spare tire is located under the vehicle between the two front tires, and its difficult to get to.

Brakes Wear Out FAST
By JK on Monday, August 02, 2010Every year the brakes need to be replaced. One year it's the front brakes the next year it's the back. I have only had the car for 3 years. And I have just replaced the brakes for the third time. I was told by the dealership it is because the car is heavy... another time they said they could do something to the brakes to make them work better for $400 extra.

From plants to pathways, easy ways to handl tough sites
Many landscapes have at least some degree of slope. In certain situations, a slope can be a design asset, allowing you to create interesting features or place certain garden elements at eye level. But steep slopes can create mobility or erosion issues that sometimes require some type of landscaping solution. For walls higher than approximately 1 foot, UGA professor Paul Pugliese advises you seek the advice of a professional. But many slopes can be managed with simple, inexpensive approaches.>> read "Gardening on a Slope" #Design #Landscaping #Slopes
Although lawns have taken it on the chin from environmentalists the past few years, the good news is you can have nice green grass that is chemical free and safe for your kids, cats and dogs to play on. Here are the steps to begin growing an Earth-friendly, sustainable lawn.>> read "Begin an Organic Lawn This Spring" #Environment #Landscaping #Turf Grass
In most gardens there are corners, ells, edges and trees, all of which create areas that are tough to work with. Oftentimes, the smaller the spot the tougher it is to tame. Instead of ignoring those tough, tiny spaces, consider plantings that will enhance your garden by taking advantage of these available spaces.>> read "Taming Tough and Tiny Spaces" #Disease #Landscaping #Shade
A little planning ahead can maximize your enjoyment and minimize headaches when dealing with your landscape – the maintenance in particular. A simple concept, yes; but most often overlooked. This particularly applies to the layout and design of your planting beds.
What could be so hard about that? It isn't hard actually. In reality, it is quite easy when given some forethought.
Here in the 21st century the idea of ecological or "green" gardening is nothing new. As gardeners we have a unique connection to ecology that leads many of us to desire to garden in ways that don't harm the environment. Most of us approach using chemicals with at least some level of apprehension and concern about both environmental and human health. Scientific research is increasingly confirming suspicions that horticultural and agricultural chemicals are contributing to a wide array of concerns such as cancer, pollinator decline, and poor water quality. Still, much confusion remains about what going green in the garden entails and how practical it is, especially as we age and become less physically able.>> read "Green Gardening for All" #Landscaping #Natives #Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency
You may be wondering, why write an article about mulching? Everyone knows how to mulch, right? You buy mulch and place it around your plants. True, it's not rocket science, but I have seen enough bad mulching jobs that it does merit more attention.>> read "The Lowdown on Mulch" #Landscaping #Misc #Soil
Have you ever walked through a garden where even though there was a lot going on, you felt a sense of peace and restfulness? You may have noticed that your eyes easily found a spot to rest or followed a natural flow that was pleasing, even playful, as it directed you to the main event without ever giving it a thought.
More than likely, you were seeing patterns – shapes, forms, outlines, and configurations that copy or repeat in some way, either in plant form or hardscape, to give overall definition. Patterns are all around us in nature – every tree, shrub, leaf, and flower has its own unique shape, texture, and color.
Keep your trees' needs in mind and help it grow for ages
Nearly everyone wants a big old tree. New ones are fine and dandy and full of promise, but it's the large and aged that we enjoy most. These trees give us a sense of history, anchoring our homes and towns to a place in time and memory. Large trees are also amazing providers – from actual monetary value to physical, mental, and social health. The list of benefits, mainly from mature trees, is long and well researched.>> read "The Lore of Big Old Trees" #Landscaping #Trees
Step outside and take a deep breath. That new season smell may have you itching to get started on yard-care tasks, but the best advice is to be patient.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to lawn care to starting too early. Raking and mowing when the grass is wet can actually do more harm than good. Early in the season, when the ground is wet, the roots of your grass can easily be pulled out of the soil. So, wait until the ground dries out.
Creating a garden space that is attractive and useful
"Outdoor room" has become quite a buzz phrase. But what does it really mean? You won't find it in the dictionary, because there is no true definition. An internet search, however, will bring you all sorts of interesting results. An outdoor room is really any exterior space that is furnished or outfitted around a specific function. It's a room with a purpose and a view!>> read "A Room With a View" #Decorating #Design #Landscaping
Gardening with columnar and fastigiate evergreens
It is no secret that plants come in many shapes, sizes, and growth habits. For those of us who are fortunate enough to know the joys of gardening, we get to take advantage of this great variety when creating our own personal Eden. Two nearly identical groups of plants that are both fun to work with and practical, are columnar and fastigiate evergreens.>> read "The Tall and Skinny" #Landscaping #Trees
As a horticulture specialist for the University of Georgia, I certainly get my share of frustrated homeowners that want me to help them recover their house from their overgrown landscape. Where they once had a beautiful vista of their backyard or swimming pool, they now suddenly have a blob of green obscuring the view. Many times, they are uncertain whether they should try to prune the bush down a few feet in hope of getting their window back, or go through the arduous task of yanking out the beastly plant altogether. While the best solution would have been to plant the appropriately sized plant to begin with, we do not always have that luxury when we purchase a used home. Renewal pruning, sometimes called rejuvenating pruning, is one option that can help recover a severely overgrown plant or landscape. This radical pruning technique can buy some time and add many years to your existing overgrown plants.>> read "Pruning Tips to Salvage an Overgrown Landscape" #Landscaping #Pruning #Shrubs

A representative for Russell Crowe has denied reports the actor is responsible for delaying production on "Winter's Tale" in New York City amid complaints from locals.
Residents in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn are attempting to rebuild their streets after the devastation of superstorm Sandy, and claim they were told the shoot would have left the area by Thanksgiving last week.
But the cast and crew have yet to clear out, causing traffic jams and taking up parking spaces needed by volunteers who are cleaning up the damage.
Several claimed Crowe was to blame after allegedly failing to turn up to the set, but a spokesperson is adamant the star showed up on time.
The rep tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "There is no truth to this… (Crowe's) scheduled first day of shooting was (November 25)."
A source close to the production adds, "It's not true at all that Russell missed any days on set. Schedules for every production filming in New York have been shuffled because of Sandy… The film's been working closely with the City of New York, and everything has been above board."

Chrome hits iPhone and iPad, storms to top of download chart
Google slips new tentacle into fanbois' walled garden
Google's new Chrome browser for iOS has stormed the iTunes download charts - hitting the top spot for free apps worldwide. Announced at a dev meeting yesterday, the mobile browser was quietly released in Apple's App Store on 26 June.
It is not significantly faster than Safari, the Jesus phone's native browser, but Google's mobile browser does have other advantages.
The basics of the Chrome mobile browser are the same as the desktop version: the browser bar doubles as a search bar, and there's an easy-to-use tabs system that is more intuitive than Safari's. The glossy app allows you to flick through layered tabs like a deck of cards, in contrast with Safari's clunkier "hit button, swipe, tap and wait" system.
The app also allows less privacy-conscious users the opportunity to sign in to their Google accounts, thus syncing tabs and saved pages across their devices - as well as sharing information like stored passwords. There's an incognito option too.
Fanbois are not able to set Chrome as the default browser, naturally.
The release comes a day after Google claimed that Chrome was world's most popular browser, doubling its number of users in the past year from 160 million to 310 million.
The mobe browser gives Google a little more of a toehold on iOS, especially important since Apple will be kicking Google Maps off iPhone and iPad come October after it introduces its own-brand Apple Maps in iOS 6. ®

Music Photography Fine Art Prints
Each museum-quality, archival pigment print is made from a negative or digital file. All open edition prints are signed on the front, and limited edition prints are signed and numbered.
Professional photographer, Justin Borucki, is a New York City native living in the wild NJ Pine Barrens with his wife, two daughter's, three step-children, his cat, a turtle, a flock of chickens, and three dwarf goats.
Justin spent the past 20 years shooting music - all kinds - from punk bands playing in basements to rock icons playing sold-out arena shows; from the pages of 'zines and 7" vinyl art in the early 90s to magazine and album covers in more recent years.
Two of his earlier photographs are featured in "Who Shot Rock and Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present," the first major museum exhibition to acknowledge the creative and collaborative role of rock-and-roll photographers in the history of rock music.

A new estimate of emergency room visits for eye injuries related to aerosol spray cans finds that children account for more than half the cases. Infants and toddlers are the most common age segment affected, leading researchers to emphasize prevention.
Children were the victims in more than half of the emergency room visits for eye injuries related to aerosol cans between 1997 and 2009, according to a new study by researchers at Brown University. More could be done, they said, to prevent injury from the pressurized and often harsh chemical contents of the common products.
The youngest children, ages 0 to 4, were the most likely to be hurt with an estimated 2,830 emergency room visits during the study timeframe, according to the study published in advance online March 30 in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. In all, about 5,927 children 18 and younger came to hospitals with eye injuries from aerosol cans, according to the report's estimates, which put the total for all age groups at 10,765.
"Any kind of injury like this that is preventable, we'd love to know more about," said study co-author Paul Greenberg, a clinical associate professor of surgery at Brown based in the ophthalmology section at the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center. "Anytime you are talking about a pediatric eye injury, that's especially disconcerting."
Lead author Carly Seidman, a fourth-year student at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown, had been reviewing eye injury data when she noticed a number of aerosol-can related cases, especially in kids. She could not find studies estimating the national prevalence of the problem, however.
James Linakis at Hasbro Children's Hospital and Michael Mello at The Miriam Hospital, both associate professors of emergency medicine at Brown, also worked on the study.
The figures the team produced, which are estimates based on data from 100 hospital emergency departments in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance Survey, add to evidence that children remain susceptible to preventable injuries from consumer products, Seidman said.
"This is part of a larger picture of household product injuries in children, which are something of importance and something to look out for," she said. "I was surprised to see a notable number of aerosol can injuries."
The report might underestimate the total number of injuries because it focuses exclusively on emergency room cases, the researchers noted. Many other people might have been treated in clinics or doctors' offices, or simply cleaned up and recovered at home. More than 70 percent of the incidents occurred in the home.
Serious sprays
The most common way people hurt their eyes with aerosol cans was by self-inflicted spray, although sometimes they were hit in the eye when cans burst. Males of all ages accounted for 63 percent of those injured. The nature of the damage included significant irritation, chemical burns, or scratches and bruises on the eyeball.
The most common product involved in an emergency room visit was spray paint, followed by personal hygiene products such as hairspray, then cleaning products and bug sprays. Pepper spray injuries were very rare but in every case the victim was a child.
The team did not study prevention measures but said a range of measures that go beyond the small warning labels required on cans could help, Seidman said. The suggestions range from making labels larger, to increasing the counseling pediatricians give parents about aerosol can storage, to asking hardware stores to consider featuring goggles in the aisles where they sell spray paint.
Meanwhile the team noted that spray cans are often brightly colored, and many cleansers and personal hygiene products have smells that children may find attractive.
"Make sure these products are kept out of the reach of children," Seidman said, "and always remember eye safety."

Jandy Valves: A look inside, How they Work
The Jandy Valve revolutionized pool plumbing when it was introduced in the early 80's. They were white at first, then grey, and now for about 20 years, a sleek black design for the Never Lube Jandy Valve (Jandy Grey valves require periodic lubrication by filling a grease cap).
Over the years, I have found that many pool owners, having never looked inside of a Jandy Valve, have trouble understanding how they work. Jandy Valves are quite simple, as I hope this blog post will demonstrate.
Starting at the bottom of our Jandy Valve Parts Breakdown shown on the left, a Jandy Valve consists of the valve body, the valve diverter, 3 o-rings, cover or lid, handle, locking knob and the cover screws.
As the schematic shows, the handle locks onto the notched stem of the diverter. As the handle is turned, the diverter turns in the identical direction. The width and curvature of the diverter, which I sometimes call a "door", matches the handle exactly. The handle grooves match the stem so that the handle will always be installed directly above the diverter.
There are stops on the valve cover to prevent over-rotation or "dead-heading" the inlet, or completely blocking water flow. 3 way valves have a travel of 180 degrees, and2 way valves rotate only 90 degrees.
Jandy Valves, and other 3 way valves are very simple to make adustments to your water flow. For instance many pool owners keep the main drain line 1/2 closed, and the skimmer wide open. If you have two or more skimmers, you can throttle back the skimmers closer to the pump, to allow more suction to the further away skimmer(s).
The jandy valve shown at the right has one port half way closed, or halfway open - depending how you look at it ~ If 100 gallons per minute were flowing through both incoming ports, closing one halfway would give 75 gpm flowing through the open port, and 25 gpm flowing through the halfway closed port.
Jandy Valve Maintenance: Not much needed, but here's a few jandy valve care and repair tips.
1. If leaking air or water around the stem, replace item #6, o-rings, and lubricate.
2. If the valve body or diverter is cracked, replace the entire valve, save extra parts.
3. If you want to prevent a valve from being turned, remove and store handle.
4. Older Jandy valves require some lubrication, use Magic Lube or other silicone lubricant.
5. If the grease cap on older models breaks off, the valve will leak air or water. Replace cap or use 1/8" plug.
Jandy Valves make pool system integrations easier. Many different configurations or layouts can be accomplished with Jandy and other 3-way valves. Take a look at some of these Jandy Valve Diagrams for Pool & Spa plumbing.

I've never seen Angelo wear so much color!
I think he'll break Spring early from sheer force of style.
42 comments
It is so beautiful with the flowery scarf and the gloves! I love the way he is wearing the scarf, it alomost looks like a jacket!
Yes I totally agree! The scarf really makes this look because he has made it such a strong element within the overall styling. Brilliant colours!
As always people skip to see details, for me the signature is his shirt collar. He should have laid the scarf over the coat with one knot. Yes he's the best style icon hands down!!!!
he pulls it off :)
Wow! Love his gloves ♥♥ :)
just mention.. the details… pink gloves on a men's outfit, awesome
Very cool!
xo Jennifer
The scarf is just worn so well, not being wrapped up around the neck. Great colours for men.
color brightens sexy Angelo up!
Love the layering here, the floral print is so pretty!
Brings to mind David Cross in Arrested Development
Original and fashion! The colours are smashing and the gloves: just perfect!!! Nice look!!!
he has an interesting style!!!
Love his outfit!!
Love the flowery scarf !
amazing outfit!! :)
I love the flowery scarf and the gloves!!Beautiful colors!
His coat is great.
The floral here is so perfectly placed at the perfect time – if spring's arrival could be forced, this would be how it happened.
Just call me Angel of the morning, Angelo ~
I LOVE the sakura print!! And his GLOVES!!!!
I love the scarf and gloves-he looks great!
I am loving all that color!
Love those cerise gloves, gorgeous!
Aww! Love the scarf–it's charming and spring-y without being saccharine.
Very cool…
Gian Luca M
Great look. It is all about your own style! But I was drawn to his hand and the Pad. From what he has there, he can run his business, do banking, keep boarding passes, have a love-life, and doodle – if he feels like it. This to me is the perfect model for the new us.
studied and funny
oh how wild is this!!
Love the unsuspected touch of the scarf and white gloves!
I know he is considered a stylish man but I think he looks a bit like an Edwardian professor.. …maybe that is what he going for. Anyway, his scarf is nice.
smthng wrong here, that's why they name ppl angelo and not diavolo!
get a life saint, go sin
I don't like it. It looks like he cropped his mother's housecoat. Also, when he buttons the coat like that, it gives the impression that the coat is Chaplinesquely small.
those gloves are beautiful! the color is yum!
Personally … not sure about the gloves … i do not think he wears it ….he wears the scarf … the gloves are just … there …. they go with the scarf … a little to much. great look i guess ….. i guess i am not buying it.
Love the printed flower layer underneath…
Name of the coat?
erm first of all :those gloves arent pink ( @ sialsiquiero)
second of all: he couldent wear only the scarf without the gloves cuz the scarf would fit to the outfit like nut in wall(its all about the shades, u dont want the outfit look "washed/bleached" thats so nice about this outfit its about same colours but difrent shades of them strong and bleached in a perfect mix . so in the end i think its Perfect!
P.S: i even like the pearly button from the shirt, the blue flowers from the scarf.
i like Angelo`s style.. even when he had the sock as a mittens:))) in fashion u have to dare:))
Very nice! But I should say I had this style before Angelo did. I wore a brown leopard scarf exactly the same way two years ago with matching brown gloves. Angelo is cool. xoxo
The look somehow works and even the pen in the breast pocket of his coat is interesting.
I do find the beard unattractive though as it reminds me of the scruffy look found in some US cities (Brooklyn, Austin, Portland). Yes, like in the US, beards are "in" right now in Europe, too and have entered the mainstream, in part because of the popularity amongst footballers and renaissance men…but not every look that has its origins in this counterculture, or Western counterculture is worthy of adopting. At the same time, however, Angelo's beard may fit his style, which is great for a fashionable man to recognize.
After all, true style is about knowing what looks good on you and what fits with your personality.
He does not pull it off. Even if he shaved and took off that ridiculous hat, everything about this feels wrong.

There's no business like war business
By Pepe Escobar
Mar 30, 2011
Lies, hypocrisy and hidden agendas. This is what United States President Barack Obama did not dwell on when explaining his Libya doctrine to America and the world. The mind boggles with so many black holes engulfing this splendid little war that is not a war (a "time-limited, scope-limited military action", as per the White House) – compounded with the inability of progressive thinking to condemn, at the same time, the ruthlessness of the Muammar Gaddafi regime and the Anglo-French-American "humanitarian" bombing.
United Nations Security Council resolution 1973 has worked like a Trojan horse, allowing the Anglo-French-American consortium – and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) – to become the UN's air force in its support of an armed uprising. Apart from having nothing to do with protecting civilians, this arrangement is absolutely illegal in terms of international law. The inbuilt endgame, as even malnourished African kids know by now, but has never been acknowledged, is regime change.
Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard of Canada, NATO's commander for Libya, may insist all he wants that the mission is purely designed to protect civilians. Yet those "innocent civilians" operating tanks and firing Kalashnikovs as part of a rag-tag wild bunch are in fact soldiers in a civil war – and the focus should be on whether NATO from now on will remain their air force, following the steps of the Anglo-French-American consortium. Incidentally, the "coalition of the wiling" fighting Libya consists of only 12 NATO members (out of 28) plus Qatar. This has absolutely nothing to do with an "international community".
The full verdict on the UN-mandated no-fly zone will have to wait for the emergence of a "rebel" government and the end of the civil war (if it ends soon). Then it will be possible to analyze how Tomahawking and bombing was ever justified; why civilians in Cyrenaica were "protected" while those in Tripoli were Tomahawked; what sort of "rebel" motley crew was "saved"; whether this whole thing was legal in the first place; how the resolution was a cover for regime change; how the love affair between the Libyan "revolutionaries" and the West may end in bloody divorce (remember Afghanistan); and which Western players stand to immensely profit from the wealth of a new, unified (or balkanized) Libya.
For the moment at least, it's quite easy to identify the profiteers.

Dean's List Jobs
Dean's List Jobs is a group of student workers that are looking for odd jobs or gigs to provide supplemental income. Students have many skills to offer. The experience we gain in managing our schedules and customer service parallels the materials we study in our classes and creates what we like to call the "Entrepreneurial Spirit." Dean's List Jobs allows students to translate class learning to real-world operations which helps us develop further as students and future professionals.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit is simply finding unfulfilled needs and having the courage and resiliency to pursue a formal organization. Although we may not be future landscapers, movers, DJ's etc., having the composure to be your own boss and complete your own goals to meet financial needs is an invaluable business trait. We are young, intelligent, and able students that can help you with most any odd job around your home or business.
It is all about who you know these days, and having references to vouch for your work goes miles when dealing with the internet. Thus Dean's List Jobs was formed to provide homeowners with a reference system to judge a student's merits for the gig based on review. Wouldn't you like to know something about who is coming into your home?
Primary Target Market - Educated (went to college) homeowners. More than likely from the middle to upper middle class, largely baby boomers, with a level of empathy for the financial situation of an average college student. These homeowners will be banking on a community of trust to complete simple odd-jobs that do not require the use of professionals. Why use someone random off the internet when you can help out a college student in pursuing their education?
Secondary Market - College students nationwide, essentially generation-Y, who are motivated, willing to work, and have a definitive need for supplemental income for miscellaneous expenses (i.e. books, rent and groceries).
Tertiary Market - Small Businesses (caterers, moving, labor oriented services) with inconsistent workloads and the need for a flexible and capable workforce.
The design should appeal to both a college student and the typical homeowner. Design should include a simple image which can be used with or without the company name. To be clear the final design should include the company with stylized font but the image portion should also be able to stand on it's own.
The design can be fun but must have a level of professionalism which will inspire trust and confidence in the homeowner.
No Cartoons - we want it to be edgy/sharp but not cheap or juvenile.
Graphic files must be vector images which can be scaled as needed.
Potentially have these Specific Oddjobs in mind:
Baby Sitting
Copy Editing
D.J. Services
House keeping
House sitting
Junk Removal
Pet Sitting
Promotions/Street Teams
