Fish do laugh... it sounds like they are kissing the surface of the water. Of course, you have to work REALLY hard to amuse them.

Ygmir, also on the 17th floor, is going to open up his suite as well. Doc can share the room numbers offline or you can PM me. Its BYOB and hopefully some snacks. What's with the 15th floor?
I'm thinking this should be a theme color party so everyone attending from Doc's party group is identifiable (for example, my favs are black, white and red). If that's not possible some playa swag. Any thoughts?
There is also a Facebook page about this event; AMTRAKathon 2013. Hopefully we can get everyone either arriving on the train or meeting at the Sands to check both places for the latest news.

I would def. like a stop at Bruno's each way, gosh, maybe for coffee on the way in (Irish coffee?) and a taste of Bruno's famous ravioli on the way out? Playing in snow is like swimming for me, always makes me feel ravenous. Actually hot chocolate with brandy might do me if there is lots of it.
Doc & Winebuff: I am expecting the 15th floor to erupt with music as soon as I find Elorrum which I hope to be about 4:20 or as soon as we get there. Moonrise sez he will meet us at the train station. Please come and dance with us while we wait for the sweet suite party to get rolling up on 17.
Can't say that I will be in official colors but, I still have my Point One pass on my wrist (clipped there at EMS check-in), will that do??? Oh yeah and 2 Magic Marty medallions, one from Trilo, one from Shambala... if they can't get me in, I will sulk downstairs in the bar.
Edited to add: (((Lucky))) congrats & sympathy, gosh. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday and Sunday brunch, anyway!!!

About jeffmacdougall
Is it? No empirical proof that this is true has ever been presented.
You've been listening... but I guess you really haven't heard anything. The decline in sales over the last 10 years you speak of make my point for me.
Also, I never brought up copyright. I don't want to take away your control of your own music, I want you to at least consider that looking at things differently, you may have more success.
You have my permission to continue to distribute your music as a product and charge per copy.
How's that workin' out for you, anyway?
So if society were to change copyright laws so that it wasn't illegal for individuals to copy and share music, you'd be okay with that?
Actually, I find this analogy to be exactly right. He's not saying that people are getting prints of original paintings for free. He's saying that the get to "experience" the paintings in an art gallery for free (like listening to a song on the radio).
Now, some believe (as I do) that most people who download MP3's for free are (in their own head) listening to the radio. These are people who would normally never buy but download just because they want to hear it and see what's what. As a musician, you can disagree with this attitude and scream "theif!" if you like, but you do so at your own peril.

OAKLEY — Applause broke out in Oakley's City Council chamber last week when a Brentwood preschool operator received the green light to build a similar facility in Oakley.
The Oakley City Council unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Celebration Center, a Christian-based child care center that not only will serve preschoolers but provide supervision for older children before and after school.
In addition, the center's multipurpose room will be a day care center for up to 30 seniors, making it one of a very few child care facilities in the East Bay — if not the only one — to offer opportunities for both young and old to socialize, said Jeneane Stevens, executive director of Celebration Christian Schools in Brentwood.
The 14,351-square-foot center will be just east of the intersection of Empire Avenue and Neroly Road on 2.2 acres that ultimately will be subdivided into two parcels.
Licensed to accommodate up to 168 preschoolers at a time, the center also will run an after-school program for up to 50 youngsters from kindergarten through the fifth grade.
But it's the senior component that generated the most enthusiasm at Tuesday's meeting.
"I just think we scored a big thing," said Councilwoman Diane Burgis. Councilman Kevin Romick called the mix of generations an "awesome idea."
Stevens said the plan is to organize activities that both enjoy, such as having seniors read to youngsters.
The cross-generational benefits are mutual, she said.
"It's better for (seniors) mentally and physically to interact with children, and we know beyond a doubt that children benefit from being with an older generation that has time for them, that listens to them, that are interested in them."
Stevens added that the playground will be senior-friendly, easily navigable by those in wheelchairs and include a garden area with raised planting beds for older backs that don't bend as easily as they used to.
Construction will begin once the school gets funding, and the goal is to open in August 2015, Stevens said.

Lion King is a member of the family Secondarie where males reach upwards of 14 stone. Visually, Lion King is highly distinctive and easily recognized by his Predator-like black mane. With uncanny speed and power to match, Lion King can easily take down prey of similar size or larger.
After seeing limited battlefield action under the Elephant Seal (not to be confused with the Walrus), Lion King was subsequently traded to the G-Men for a quaff of mead and some battle armor in the year of our Lord, three and two-thousand. This proved a very unwise action by the Elephant Seal but extremely fortuitous for the G-Men.
In his time defending the G-Men, Lion King has displayed great feats of athleticism, strength and cunning. Like many in the family Secondarie, Lion King spends half his time resting and the other half in intermittent bursts of activity, usually in coordinated hunts with Woodchuck. He has encountered numerous enemies, consistently rendering them powerless and ineffectual.
Dedicated and highly durable, Lion King recently suffered a rare injury only a level six Liger could heal .This leaves Lion King's future with the G-Men somewhat in doubt. What is certain is that when Lion King is on the field, the G-Men have an increased chance of victory.

IPv6 First Hop Security (FHS) concerns
There are a growing number of large-scale IPv6 deployments occurring within enterprise, university, and government networks. For these networks to succeed, it is important that the IPv6 deployments are secure and the quality of service (QoS) must rival the existing IPv4 infrastructure. An important security aspect to consider is the local links (Layer 2). Traditional Layer 2 security differs between IPv4 and IPv6 because instead of using ARP—like IPv4—IPv6 moves the traditional Layer 2 operations to Layer 3 using various ICMP messages
IPv6 introduces a new set of technology link operations paradigms that differ significantly from IPv4. The changes include more end nodes that are permitted on the link (up to 2^64) and increased neighbor cache size on end nodes and the default router, which creates more opportunities for denial of service (DoS) attacks. There are also additional threats to consider in IPv6 including threats with the protocols in use, a couple of which are listed below:
- Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) integrates all link operations that determine address assignment, router discovery, and associated tasks.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can have a lesser role in address assignment compared to IPv4.
Finally, non-centralized address assignment in IPv6 can create challenges for controlling address misuse by malicious hosts.
For more information on FHS concerns. read the new IPv6 FHS whitepaper.

To me, this is a SUPER BOWL.
I used it to make Spinach con Queso dip...which is something you might like to snack on while watching...I don't know...maybe, football?
1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta (pasteurized processed cheese product - I include this so that the food snobs know that I know it isn't really cheese, but I include this note so that they know that I don't care...this time.)
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa, hot or mild - your choice
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and drained WELL
1/2 - 3/4 cup sour cream
Cube the Velveeta into 1/2-inch portions.
Make sure the spinach is thoroughly drained. (I first squeeze in a colander and then place in a clean kitchen towel and wring the heck out of it.)
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the Velveeta cubes, salsa (I use a pint of my home-canned Basic Salsa, but use your favorite. The ones available with black beans and corn would add interesting dimension.), and spinach.
Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes.
Stir to combine the melty cheese with the other ingredients.
Return to the microwave and cook on HIGH for 2 more minutes, and stir again.
Repeat heating in 2 minute increments as needed until cheese is fully melted.
Stir in the sour cream.
Heat again for 1 minute.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.

Improving our ability to peek inside molecules
(PhysOrg.com) -- It's not easy to see a single molecule inside a living cell. Nevertheless, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are helping to develop a new technique that will enable them to create detailed high-resolution images, giving scientists an unprecedented look at the atomic structure of cellular molecules.
The LLNL team is collaborating with scientists across the country and in Germany and Sweden to utilize high-energy X-ray beams, combined with complex algorithms, to overcome difficulties in current technology.
The work began more than five years ago as a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project, headed by Stefano Marchesini. He has since transferred to Lawrence Berkeley Lab (LBNL), leaving the project in the hands of Stefan Hau-Riege, a materials science physicist at LLNL.
For now, the Advanced Light Source at LBNL and the FLASH facility in Hamburg, Germany, are being used to provide the X-ray beams. But a new facility under construction at Stanford University, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), will provide additional capabilities and greater imaging accuracy when it comes on line next year.
Another light source being built in Hamburg will be used as well. When completed in late 2013, the X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) will be the world's longest artificial light source.
Using high-energy, extremely short-pulse - less than 100 femtoseconds, or one quadrillionth of a second - X-ray beams to examine nanoscale objects is not a new concept. The difficulty lies with the algorithms to convert the resulting patterns into usable images.
One method to increase the signal and resolution of the image is to include a second item with known features during the laser imaging. Known as a "reference object," it gives the researchers additional information with which to process the imaging data.
What is new is to use a very special reference object called a "uniformly redundant array" (URA). In this case, a combination of complex formulas known as a "Fourier Transform" and a "Hadamard Transform" are utilized to convert the data into an image that represents the object being examined. Hadamard transforms are commonly used in signal processing and data algorithms, including those used in photo and video compression.
According to Hau-Riege, "The resolution we achieved is among the best ever reported for holography of a micrometer-sized object, and we believe that it will improve in the future with the development of nano-arrays for Fourier Transform Holography at LCLS."
Details of the study appear in the August 1 edition of the journal Nature Photonics: www.nature.com/nphoton/journal … photon.2008.154.html

Tim3 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 106 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
Our client owns a sewing shop in Beenleigh (QLD, Australia). She has over 40 years experience in sewing, quilting and teaching.
The shop in Beenleigh sells everything to do with sewing; Machines, Threads, Fabrics, Patterns, Quilting Supplies, Tools and offers daily classes to over 100 regular weekly students.
With all her experience our client is forever showing people the easy way to do things and always puts her class first. No matter how people print patterns, projects or describe techniques necessary to complete a sewing task - she has found that she offers easier and more efficient solutions to ladies of any skillset. It is this knowledge and teaching ability that we are trying to transfer into the online realm so it is available to the masses, rather than just the students who can come the small shop in Beenleigh.
We have discussed in depth about setting up an online store that allows people to purchase everything she has in the shop, however, it seems most people can either get this stuff from their local sewing goods store. It was at this discovery that we decided to focus on her experience, and to setup a blog so she (and her classmates) can share the current projects they are working on, and any hints and tips that pop up during the course of the day.
80% Female, 20% Male.
With no current brand or supporting material to date, we're looking for a clean but clever logo that encompassed the domain name - Sewing.net.au.
Our clients favorite colors are light pinks and light greens, and the site will include some quilts that use these tones.
Because our focus is more on 'learning' and actually 'sewing' rather than the purchase of sewing equipment, it would be great if the logo incorporated that element somehow.
With that said, we're using 99designs for the first time and all concepts will be considered - so feel free to have some fun with it!
Thanks to all who participate!

The results aren't officially out yet, but it looks like 14 of the 19 financial firms subjected to "stress tests" by the Treasury Department passed their exams with flying colors. Now, the question is will they be allowed to return the money they borrowed from taxpayers?
Many of them want to. But Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been dragging his feet on the issue indicating that repayment might not be allowed for even healthy banks if the government doesn't think that general economic conditions are favorable.
That policy drew a firestorm of criticism. Here were firms wanting to pay back taxpayers, and they were being told they couldn't? It looked especially tenuous as news got out that Chrysler would not be paying back its loans at all. A poll this week by National Media found 86 percent of Americans favor letting companies repay.
Technically, the government doesn't even have the power to prevent repayment. But as a condition of the loans, the government was given warrants for the purchase of stock in recipient firms. If those warrants aren't relinquished, then it's a lot harder for banks to repay.
It seems that the government has a legal right to retain or exercise the warrants. But in so doing, it is preventing taxpayers from getting their money back. And – as TARP-indebted creditors of Chrysler now know, it ensures a big government hand in how each firm is run.
In the face of this criticism of this no-payback policy, Secretary Geithner now has backed off somewhat. In an op-ed today, he indicated that firms passing the stress tests would be allowed to do so (presumably with warrants waived) if it shows it can raise capital on its own, without special government guarantees.
This is welcome, allowing most healthy banks to become TARP-free. (Although the government would still be able to re-lend the cash to others). Still, why not go further? After all the hoopla over the stress tests, repayment should be welcome from any bank that passed.
Geithner argues, in effect, that its better to be safe than sorry – even a stress test doesn't guarantee there will be no problems in the future. Perhaps true, but that should be a decision for banks to make for themselves. Even more importantly, the sought-after safety comes at a cost, not just in terms of taxpayers dollars, but in lost private sector independence. Those are losses for which we certainly would be sorry.

Fresh off DL, Jeter homers on first pitch
NEW YORK -- July 11 was something of a tease for Derek Jeter and his legion of fans who crowd the stands at Yankee Stadium. After missing the first two months of the season with an ankle injury, the captain was back -- for all of four at-bats.

NEW YORK -- July 11 was something of a tease for Derek Jeter and his legion of fans who crowd the stands at Yankee Stadium. After missing the first two months of the season with an ankle injury, the captain was back -- for all of four at-bats.
The shortstop left New York's win over the Royals that day after straining his quad trying to beat out a ground ball in his fourth at-bat.View Full Game Coverage
When he finally returned to face the Rays on Sunday, an almost fictional scenario played out at Yankee Stadium. On the first pitch of his first at-bat back from the disabled list, Jeter lifted a home run just into the right-field bleachers to give New York an early one-run lead.
"He's a movie is what he is," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after Sunday's 6-5 victory.
Jeter, who played shortstop for the first time this season, went 2-for-4 with an intentional walk and was on base as the Yankees scored the walk-off run.
"It feels good to contribute," Jeter said. "The first of anything is difficult to get -- first hit, first home run, first RBI, first game is difficult for me to get. It feels great to contribute, but more importantly we won. I wouldn't feel good if we lost this game."
He helped lift a New York lineup that has quite simply struggled to score runs. Entering Sunday's action, the Yankees' 401 runs were fourth fewest in the American League, their .310 on-base percentage was third worst, their .242 batting average second worst and their .369 slugging percentage ranked dead last.
"It changes our lineup, there's no doubt about that, and just his presence is important to this club," Girardi said before the game. "It's been important for such a long time. My hope is I get to do it today and I get to do it again on Tuesday because we weren't so lucky the last time."
Jeter replaced Travis Hafner on the Yankees roster. The struggling DH -- he's batting just .215 this season after a .318 April -- was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain.
The newest addition to New York's active roster deflected questions about his concern in typical Jeter fashion before Sunday's game. He was asked about "running under control" after injuring himself while running the bases on July 11.
"Was I out of control that day?" he shot back.
He did say he would try, and on a groundout in the seventh inning he was noticeably slower in running to first base. Still, he said it's something that he doesn't like doing and doesn't want to learn how to do.
"I feel awkward doing it," Jeter said. "I don't like doing it."
Girardi said that the extra bit of caution on the basepaths will only be temporary. So much of what he brings to the lineup is through his hustle -- even in his one other game this year, his lone hit was an infield single.
There's only so much Girardi can do to urge Jeter's carefulness.
"Last time I checked, they don't give me a bungee cord that I can attach to him when he's hitting," he said, so all he can do is continue to preach it to him and hope he heeds the advice.
With five road games coming up against National League teams, New York needs Jeter to be capable of playing shortstop. The built-in days off -- the Yankees are off on both Monday and Thursday -- will also help him remain an everyday player. Girardi's hope is that Jeter can play shortstop for the Interleague road trip, then take a DH day or two when the club returns to AL play.
But of course, Jeter was never concerned about his return to the lineup. He played in a simulated game in Staten Island on Saturday, but said he felt ready to play in a real tilt. It was the team's decision to play the sim game, and "evidently they saw what they needed to see," Jeter said.
He treated this game just like any other -- he didn't view his homer as some sort of special moment and said that the only special moment on Sunday was for Hideki Matsui, who officially retired as a Yankee in a pregame ceremony. That's what the Yankees need, though. His calm demeanor has been a staple of the clubhouse for more than a decade. Now they have it back.
"I've been here a long time," Jeter said. "I've been in a lot of these moments."

Lisa - posted on 07/02/2010 ( 343 moms have responded )
I am about to go back to work at the end of the month, and I have my daughter enrolled in a private, in-home daycare near my home. But how much is too much?
I am in the military and have looked at base daycare, as well as other in-home providers out in town. I decided to go with this particular daycare provider for a few reasons, but I wonder if it is really worth how much I am going to be paying per month ($650/mo) considering I am planning on moving within the next year.
What are your thoughts, moms?
How much do you pay per month?
Any advice?

John Hughes, the influential writer-director who captured the humor and angst of the teen experience, 1980s style, in hit movies such as "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," died Thursday. He was 59.
Hughes, who maintained a working farm in Northern Illinois and distanced himself from Hollywood more than a decade ago, died of a heart attack during a morning walk in Manhattan while visiting family in New York, spokeswoman Michelle Bega said.
A onetime ad man and National Lampoon writer, Hughes became a king of comedy in the 1980s as a teen-movie auteur who understood what it meant to be an adolescent with a penchant for outcasts and geeks.
"I am truly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes," actor Matthew Broderick, who played the title role in the 1986 comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," said Thursday. "He was a wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family."
Actor Macaulay Culkin, who starred in the 1990 Hughes-written comedy "Home Alone," said, "I was a fan of both his work and a fan of him as a person. The world has lost not only a quintessential filmmaker whose influence will be felt for generations, but a great and decent man."
Hughes already had written the hit comedies "Mr. Mom" and National Lampoon's "Vacation" when he made his debut as a writer-director with "Sixteen Candles," the 1984 film starring Molly Ringwald as a high school girl whose parents forget that it's her 16th birthday.
Ringwald was among the young actors and actresses -- dubbed the Brat Pack -- who gained fame in Hughes' movies, including Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, John Cusack, Emilio Estevez, Robert Downey Jr. and Judd Nelson.
Saying she was "stunned and incredibly sad" to hear of Hughes' death, Ringwald said in a statement that he "was and will always be such an important part of my life. He will be missed -- by me and by everyone that he has touched."
In a 1985 interview with Chicago Tribune movie critic Gene Siskel, Hughes said that many filmmakers "portray teenagers as immoral and ignorant with pursuits that are pretty base. They seem to think that teenagers aren't very bright. But I haven't found that to be the case. I listen to kids. I respect them. I don't discount anything they have to say just because they're only 16 years old."
Although Hughes' films often played teenage travails as both high drama and farce, his characters were emotionally honest and instantly recognizable to audiences.
The young people in his movies were usually painfully self-aware, often sounding more like adults when discussing their social status and the hierarchies of high school, and his unique take on adolescence influenced a generation of writers and directors.
Comedy writer-director Judd Apatow told The Times in 2008: "John Hughes wrote some of the great outsider characters of all time. It's pretty ridiculous to hear people talk about the movies we've been doing, with outrageous humor and sweetness all combined, as if they were an original idea. I mean, it was all there first in John Hughes' films."
Apatow said in a statement Thursday that he felt "like a part of my childhood has died. Nobody made me laugh harder or more often than John Hughes."
In writing about Hughes in 1999, film critic Elvis Mitchell wrote: "No one before him had created a body of work that treated adolescent crisis as if it were a tragedy disrupting the world as the millennium nears.
"His balance of sophistication and cruelty, scored with the smartest use of contemporary music a director has ever brought to his pictures on a consistent basis, played ever so brilliantly to an audience who felt it had never seen its own stories on the screen before."
Hughes' other credits as a writer-director include "Weird Science," "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," "She's Having a Baby," "Uncle Buck" and -- in 1991, his final film as a director -- "Curly Sue."
Among Hughes' credits as a writer are "Pretty in Pink," "Some Kind of Wonderful," "Christmas Vacation," "Dennis the Menace" and "101 Dalmations."
Steve Martin, who starred with John Candy in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," described Hughes on Thursday as a "great director, but his gift was in screenwriting. He created deep and complex characters, rich in humanity and humor."
Hughes reportedly moved back to the Chicago area in 1995 and has kept a very low profile since then.
"He's our generation's J.D. Salinger," filmmaker Kevin Smith told The Times this year. "He touched a generation and then the dude checked out."
Bruce Berman, chairman and CEO of Village Roadshow who was executive in charge of production at Universal and Warner Bros. when he worked with Hughes, said Hughes "quit because he really didn't like the studio system. All considered, I think he could have stayed as long as he wanted."
But Berman, who last talked to Hughes a year ago, believes that what kept him in Chicago "is that he made enough money that he didn't have to deal with Hollywood any more."
Hughes was born Feb. 18, 1950, in Lansing, Mich. At 13, his family moved to the suburbs of Chicago, where he set many of his movies.
After dropping out of the University of Arizona at age 20, Hughes became an advertising copy writer in Chicago and began writing jokes for Rodney Dangerfield and other comics on the side.
He was a creative director at the Leo Burnett agency when he took a pay cut to accept a job at National Lampoon, where he had been freelancing.
His first screenplay was for National Lampoon's 1982 comedy "Class Reunion."
A complete list of Hughes' surviving family members was not immediately available, but among his survivors are his wife of 39 years, Nancy; his sons, John and James; and four grandchildren.
Times staff writers Susan King and Valerie J. Nelson contributed to this report.

Over the last four years of running my homebrew tours, I've watched Brooklyn's DIY beer scene boom. Where once aspring apartment brewers were forced to order grains and hops online or drive into Long Island, now there's a bounty of brew shops such as Bitters & Esters, Brooklyn Homebrew and Brooklyn Kitchen, all of which stocks ingredients and offer classes. This has led to a swell of brewers in Brooklyn and across the city, with kegerators crammed into every nook and cranny. Now, the best thing about homebrewing is sharing it with your friends. But if you're brewing two or three times a month, that's a fair amount of five-gallon batches of beer taking up space in too-tiny apartments. And even if your friends are lushes, there's a limit to everyone's beer intake. The solution, then, is a homebrew festival.
The latest one to arrive is Pride of Brooklyn, which will debut this Saturday, April 27, at Gowanus' Littlefield. The festival will feature 25 New York–based homebrewers, as well as pro offerings from Lagunitas, SingleCut and the brand-new Yonkers Brewing Company.
The mastermind behind the homebrew madness is Casey Soloff, an advertising copywriter who has been brewing beer for about a year. "I know a lot of good people in the homebrewing community," says Soloff, a Brooklyn resident. "I put out a call a call for entries and people responded almost immediately."
The homebrewers will pour a variety of ales and lagers, including the likes of a pilsner, rye black IPA, spiced milk stout and cherrywood-smoked porter—in other words, you won't go home thirsty or bored. Additionally, there will be food for purchase from Fletcher's and Mexicue, and attendees get $2 off drafts at Mission Dolores until 8 p.m.
Come get a taste of the next generation of New York City brewers.
Pride of Brooklyn Homebrew Festival Saturday, April 27, 1 to 5 p.m. Littlefield (622 Degraw Street, Gowanus, 718-855-3388) Tickets: $25 (buy them here)

About Me and Oh My Heartsie Girl
I am a country girl living in bigger cities since I was 16. So like A Little Bit Country A little bit Diva and lots of Bling! I still enjoy all the things I learned growing up with my mom, 2 aunts, and a grandmother to raise me. I had and a lot of influence from them both in cooking, and in fashion as they all sewed and made a lot of their clothes, and all my pretty dresses, "until I was about 15" when I wanted store-bought dresses, but then a sister in law helped make things that were in my age range and for school dances and helped to accessorize them with high heels and jewelry. From being around all the sewing I learned how myself and started making my own things, then simple, like sleepwear and casual, bags and crafts. But later on, after having kids I made a lot of clothes for my kids over the years including coats and jeans. The teachings from my family in sewing was instilled forever. But now I love creating jewelry and is an off and on hobby along with crafts.
Since I love to cook and bake, I am always trying new recipes, many I find on other blogs and Pinterest Update
I have new hobbies that I will be sharing on Oh My Heartsie Girl and hope that you will enjoy my little crafty creations. Some are journals, some are tags, ATC's, etc. I have even joined some new communities to pursue finding challenges and swaps.
I have been working on the internet since 1991 but did not really get into the blogging scene until 2009. I love to share creative ideas, crafts, tutorials, suggestions, recipes. I enjoy writing about products, human interest stories, offer bloggers a platform for sharing their blogs to help them with exposure and best of all meeting new friends. "Oh! My Heartsie Girl" is where I occasionally review company products to write reviews, share recipes, offer events, weekly memes, writing and sharing tutorials and enjoy meeting new bloggers. I also love gardening and my favorite is baking, cooking and trying new recipes to share with family and friends. Oh My Heartsie Girl is all about being frugal, sharing ideas, recipes, gardening, product reviews that are home related, giveaways and contests. The second is becoming my favorite, it is all about fashion and that has always been one of my passions. Whether it's about hair, shoes, clothes, jewelry, accessories, purses, I love them all and this is what "Live Laugh Love To Shop Blog" is all about. A way to express what I like in the way of colors and styles. I love Pinterest now and Polyvore also, as it is a way to create fun boards for me the talk about and share. On Live Laugh Love To Shop, I offer product reviews that are related to fashion, events, contests, and giveaways. I have really found that blogging is such a rewarding experience and I have met so many wonderful friends while visiting other blogs. It has also given me the opportunity to create a niche for each blog, which took a while.
I am a mother of 4, have 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and 1 step-grandson and after working the last 20 years with my husband, I needed to reconnect with women and found that through blogging it has given me the opportunity to meet some wonderful friends.
You are welcome to contact me at
I Offer events for my Followers To Participate in and would love to co-host, I am open to new ideas, as I lay awake at night planning interesting content for my followers. I hope that you will enjoy both blogs. I wish you all well and thanks for coming by!!

Syria Crisis to Top G-8 Summit Agenda
(COUNTY FERMANAGH, Northern Ireland) -- The civil war in Syria is expected to dominate much of the discussion as President Obama sits down Monday with the Group of Eight leaders in Northern Ireland, just days after the White House confirmed the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"They'll clearly discuss the situation in Syria, to include the most recent chemical weapons assessment that we've provided, the efforts that are underway to support both the opposition but also a political settlement in the country," Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes told reporters Friday.
The Obama administration has said it will provide more "direct support" to the Syrian opposition now that the president's "red line" has been crossed. The U.S., he added, has "steadily increased both the size and scope of our assistance" to the Supreme Military Council, the armed wing of the Syrian opposition.
"At the same time, you know, this is a fluid situation. So it's necessary for [the president] to consult with all the leaders at the G-8 about both our chemical weapons assessment and the types of support we're providing to the opposition," he added.
The president will also, however, have to sway Assad's allies, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. Obama and Putin will meet face-to-face at the G-8 summit for the first time in a year.
Russia has publicly questioned American evidence that Assad used chemical weapons and does not agree that Assad must step down from power for a political settlement to be successful.
"What Russia has articulated to us, and publicly, is that they don't want to see a downward spiral," Rhodes said. "They don't want to see a chaotic and unstable situation in the region. They don't want to see extremist elements gaining a foothold in Syria. And the point that we've made to Russia is that the current course in which Assad is not being appropriately pressured to step down from power by those who continue to support him in the international community is bringing about those very outcomes."
"We still continue to discuss with the Russians whether there's a way to bring together elements of the regime and the opposition to achieve a political settlement. We have no illusions that that's going to be easy," he added.
While the Syrian crisis will overshadow much of the summit agenda, there are many other topics up for discussion, including economic reform, trade and the fight against terrorism.
Obama is expected to defend his administration's phone and internet surveillance programs as vital counterterrorism tools. "He'll be able to discuss with the other leaders the importance of these programs in terms of our counterterrorism efforts in particular, the constraints and safeguards that we place on these programs so that they have oversight against potential abuses," Rhodes said.
"And all of these countries at the G-8 are important counterterrorism partners. And together we've worked with them on an intelligence and security relationship to foil terrorist attacks in the United States and in Europe, and of course Russia shares a significant counterterrorism interest with us as well," he said.
In addition to participating in a series of high-level meetings, the president will also deliver a major address in Northern Ireland at the Belfast Waterfront Convention Center. This will be the president's first opportunity to address at length the support that the U.S. has provided to the peace process in Northern Ireland and to the development of its economy.
After two days of summit meetings, the president will travel to Berlin, where he will meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Joachim Gauck, and deliver a major address at the historic Brandenburg Gate.
The short three-day trip to Europe will be also a family affair for the president. The first lady and daughters Sasha and Malia will be joining him.
Mrs. Obama and her daughters will attend the president's speech in Belfast and then break off to travel to Dublin, while the president is busy with summit meetings. There, they will tour Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university and "explore the archives that they've gathered to document the Obamas' Irish ancestry," Rhodes explained.
The first family will reunite in Berlin.

About John Auker View Full Biography
John Auker began studying music at the age of ten, starting on violin and moving to guitar two years later. His parents enrolled him in guitar lessons at age 12, and they luckily found a great teacher from the start. They stuck with his first instructor, Shawn Bradshaw for six years. At first, Mr. Bradshaw guided John through his favorite songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Nirvana, Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughan. After a couple years the lessons got tougher, challenging John to expand his knowledge of scales, chord shapes, music theory and improvisation, ultimately priming him for study at the collegiate level.
As his passion for music developed throughout his teens, John found opportunities to play guitar with his middle school orchestra, his high school jazz band, indoor drumline, and church worship bands, where he was additionally called upon to play bass. In 2001, Auker continued his musical training with Stan Smith and Karl Wohlwend at the Capital University Conservatory of Music. The years spent with Stan and Karl at Capital made John into a complete, professional and mature musician. Shortly before graduating Cum Laude with a B.M. in Jazz Studies/Contemporary Guitar performance in 2005, he received outstanding recognition from the Elmhurst Jazz Festival for his performance with the Capital University Big Band.
In the summer of 2009, John auditioned for the role of George Harrison in Hard Day's Night, landing the job just in time to play his debut show in November that year. In addition to his role as George in Hard Day's Night, he remains an active participant in the Columbus local music community, playing and recording with various groups. Auker has previously played with Vaughn Wiester's Famous Jazz Orchestra, Stan Smith and Nova Madrugada, Steve Houghton, and Grammy nominated singers, Jeff Anderson and Sarah Kelly. He has appeared with Hard Day's Night on ABC's News 8 Daybreak in Dallas, TX.
John serves regularly at Grove City Nazarene, Vineyard Columbus, and Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, three of the largest congregations in the Columbus area. Auker has done studio work for Jeff Anderson's In the Shadow, and Sinclair Broadcast Group's jingle "Good Day Columbus." Most recently, John contributed all of the electric guitar parts on Noelle Shearer's 2013 release, Speak to Me.
Aside from discovering and listening to new and inspiring music, John enjoys music-related projects such as refinishing/repairing guitars, songwriting and recording. He also enjoys spending quiet time around the house with his wife, Megan and physical activity-exercising, riding bikes or playing on the playground with his daughter, Nora.
Offering private instruction for guitar, ukulele, bass and mandolin, Auker maintains a full teaching schedule at Music & Arts Center in Worthington, OH, and the Guitar House Workshop in Upper Arlington, OH. John is happy to join the JamPlay team and hopes that he can help others find joy in creativity as they continue their musical journey.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Events Calendar
First Friday April 2019
Join us for the first lecture of the spring 2019 series (April, May, and June), with Arien Rozelle, assistant professor of media and communications.
Date: April 5, 2019 - April 5, 2019
Time: 10 a.m. lecture (9 a.m. Mass and breakfast)
Location: Cleary Family Auditorium, Kearney Hall
Office of Institutional Advancement
Arien Rozelle, assistant professor of media and communication, will discuss the use of social media in mass communication. She will be joined by Fisher student experts.
As founder of FeelingAnxious, a boutique firm that specialized in music public relations, Rozelle landed clients in the New York Times, Huffington Post, and Relic Magazine. Her work earning clients sustained media coverage earned her a spot as one of "New York's Top PR Firms and People: The Most Influential and Connected" by marketing company Sparkah.com.
And in 2013, Rozelle brought her media savvy and PR know-how to St. John Fisher College, where she had turned up the dial on its social media and public relations courses.
As an advisor for The PRIMA Group, a student-run, full-service advertising agency; and the Tom Prioetti Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, she has renewed student engagement in both student organizations. Creating innovative programming that introduces Rochester professionals to students through Meet the Media, Social Media Week, and agency crawls, Rozelle is shaping the next generation of communicators. Three years ago, she formed the College's first team to participate in PRSSA's Bateman Case Study Competition, and to date, all three teams have earned honorable mentions.
This year, Rozelle was instrumental in shaping the College's newest graduate program, the Master of Science in Strategic Communication, helping take the Department to the next level.
Outside of Fisher, she works as a freelance practitioner with clients including Black Button Distillery, and has served as a panelist for local, regional, and national conferences, including Upstate Social. In 2018, she was selected as a fellow for the Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver Center for the Advancement of Women in Communication, traveling to Florida International University to participate in a workshop for tenure-track women.
Optional Mass at 9 a.m. in the Hermance Family Chapel of St. Basil the Great, followed by breakfast treats in Cleary Family Auditorium in Kearney Hall.

If you are looking to live in a small town but don't want to give up access to the big city, Ashland, Virginia can be a great place to put your roots down and find an apartment you love. It's only a 15 minute drive to Richmond, and it's not far from Washington, D.C. either. It is home to Randolph-Macon College, and has been since 1867: this town is nothing if not old. The town is a mere 7 square miles, and hardly has 7,000 people (small in addition to old!). If you're looking for a scenic city where everyone knows your name, Ashland could be the place for you to rent an apartment. Check in at the LocalTalk page to get the word directly from locals on what living in Ashland is like.
Considering how amazing a tourist destination Ashland is, with such an antiquated college like Randolph-Macon, a church built in 1729 (Slash Church), and its easy access by railway, it is surprising how inexpensive apartments can be in Ashland. The combination of beauty and affordability you can find in Ashland is exceptional among colonial towns.
Renting an apartment in Ashland puts you in walking distance from multiple landmarks, and a day's car trip from many more. Probably the most iconic landmark of Ashland's history is the train station designed in 1923 by Duncan Lee. It acts as a Visitor Center for Ashland tourism, which is fitting: Ashland's history is bound with its ties with the railroad. The town was built around the railroad tracks laid by the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad—in 1845, it was they who made it a tourist attraction by developing a mineral springs resort called Slash Cottage. By 1858, Slash Cottage was incorporated as Ashland. The town has survived as a rail hub even to the modern day; in 1985, Amtrak began serving Ashland after an 18 year break. Delving into Ashburn's history isn't difficult: just stop by the Visitor Center, grab a pamphlet, and walk around— while the railroad station and Slash Church are the most obvious attractions, checking out the Henry Clay Inn will give you a taste of old New England as well. If you still aren't satisfied, Ashland's central location makes for short distances to other famous locales like Jamestown (67 miles) or Williamsburg (62 miles). Check out Ashland's Tourism Department website for more details on Ashland's history. If historic buildings and a rich history is worth a few tourists in your home town, Ashland could be the right place for you to rent an apartment. Ashburn is a College Town Out of a town population of 7,000, it is rather significant that there are approximately 1750 students at Randolph-Macon College. The school touts a selective and individualized liberal arts education, and is older than Ashburn itself- it was founded in 1830 and only moved to Ashburn in 1869. If you are looking for an apartment for rent in Ashburn, expect that some of your neighbors might be bright young liberal arts students or professors. Luckily, most students live on campus, so you don't have to worry about any dazed freshman drunk on your lawn the night after finals. You can check out the Randolph-Macon College website to get details on the school, admissions, or current job openings. Ashland Food Culture Renting an apartment in Ashland means you get to enjoy all of the Hanover County's agriculture. From May through October, Ashland hosts a Saturday farmers' market. The Ashland Farmers' Market provides a venue for local Hanover county farmers to sell a variety of produce and goods—everything from broccoli to handmade soap. They often have a Thanksgiving and Christmas market, too—check out the website for more details. On the first Saturday of June, Ashland hosts its own festival: the Ashland Strawberry Faire. The festival is usually very large, hosting around 300 vendors, and the freshly harvested and local strawberries make it worth it all on their own. Whether you come for the produce or to get crowned Little Miss Strawberry, the fair is a great place to connect with both the Ashland community and the greater area. Don't forget sunblock—with the vast amount of vendors at the faire, the Ashland Strawberry Faire is bound to be more than a short jaunt in the sun. Whether you are looking to rent an apartment in a town with a rich history, an academic environment, or you just want to be near beautiful countryside, Ashland could be the place for your next rental.

When the App Store first launched there was an influx of e-books that clogged it with $.99 copies of public domain literature. Such apps, which made up a large percentage of original listings, had developers of other applications a bit perturbed since they made it more difficult to find legit applications, and the sheer number of titles would be unnecessary if a full featured e-book reader had been made. Well, there is a new e-book pedaler in town, but this time the antics are 1000 times worse.
In what could be considered the least imaginative get-rich scheme in the history of the App Store, developer Jerry Beers of JerryBeers.com has created a slew of speed dial applications that allow users to dial a phone number by touching an icon on the iPhone's Home screen. The catch is that the developer is hard coding names into the apps; so while the number can change, the name cannot, allowing Beers to sell a plethora of applications with the only difference being the name on the icon, as well as a pink or blue icon based on the sex of the name.
Currently there are 26 versions of the application in the store, all residing in the "Utilities" category. Names range from Amanda to Taylor, and even include variants like Tim and Timothy. Even better, you can request custom names that you want to see next. The majority of the applications were released yesterday, December 30, and were first brought to our attention by our "Recently Added Applications" feed and John Gruber of Daring Fireball.
Of course, the amount of code necessary to create each custom app is minimal, and you might think that all of these "apps" could be replaced by a single app that allows people to make as many custom buttons as they want. But the odds of this happening are slim to none, as there is currently no way to change an application's name in the iPhone OS. According to one developer, Bryan Henry of ApogeeDev and maker of Equivalence, once the name is set and submitted, the application is signed and the name cannot be changed unless it is resigned and resubmitted on non-jail broken phones.
While some could argue that these applications aren'tt hurting anyone and they even provide a service, we're willing to bet that the majority of developers would echo Bryan's sentiments:
[...] applications like this represent one of the major issues that plagues the AppStore at the moment. That's not to say that I think that Apple should broadly brandish its wand of denial when it comes to approvals, but I don't think its unwarranted to hold apps to some minimal standard for design and usefulness that applications such as these clearly don't meet. This could only serve to improve the quality of software available on the AppStore and thus the expectations and demands of users. The current drive to $0.99, "catch the next fad" applications (which definitely have their place) is so overpowering at the moment that its harming the equally important market for apps that require appreciable amounts of time investment."
We're not really sure who to be more exasperated with at this point: the developer for his shenanigans, or Apple for accepting the applications to the store. I'm finding it hard to pass judgment myself, but what I do have is a recommendation. I move that from this point forward, whenever an application is of questionable value, or has been released for obvious get-rich-quick motives, it be referred to as a "Call Mike."

Teachers have given a big tick of approval to the Education Resource Pack launched by Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust at its newly opened Heritage Centre.
Created by teachers who are members of the Trust's Volunteer Team, the 72 page pack is aimed particularly at primary pupils but offers unique opportunities for secondary schools too.
It has two sections – one concentrates on the historical development of Pembroke Dock over its 200 years while the second focuses upon the history of the famous Sunderland flying boats and the key roles they played in World War II. Both topics reflect the national and international importance of Pembroke Dock and its military legacy.
The Heritage Centre at the Royal Dockyard Chapel – which was opened by The Queen in April – provides an excellent setting for school groups to visit and already bookings have been made since the pack was launched. It has displays and information on many chapters in the town's remarkable story.
Heading the Sunderland Trust's Education Team are retired teachers Sue Clarkson, Chris Howell and Gareth Mills who collectively have many years of experience in the profession, in both primary and secondary schools.
The new Education Pack costs £10 to schools and is available from the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre in the Royal Dockyard. For further information contact us.

TORONTO - Canada's largest school board has received official word that its elementary teachers will walk out on Tuesday for a one-day strike, along with those from seven other boards.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario issued a statement this morning to provide the promised 72 hours notice before pulling the Toronto District School Board's more than 10,000 teachers out of their classrooms.
Hundreds of thousands of Ontario students will have to stay home next week as elementary teachers across Ontario stage one-day strikes, including a massive walkout in Toronto.
The union says teachers from the Durham, Peel, Greater Essex, Near North, Grand Erie, Waterloo Region and Lambton-Kent boards will also be off the job on Tuesday.
The walkouts are in protest of a controversial law that allows the government to stop strikes, freeze wages and cut benefits.
Teachers in the Hamilton area are set to walk out Monday, along with those at three school boards in northern Ontario.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) � Israel's air force obliterated symbols of Hamas power on the third day of its overwhelming assault on Gaza on Monday, striking a house next to the Hamas premier's home, devastating a security compound and flattening a five-story building at a university closely linked to the Islamic group.
The three-day death toll rose to 315, including seven children under the age of 15 who were killed in two separate strikes late Sunday and Monday, medics said. Israel launched the deadliest attack against Palestinians in decades on Saturday in retaliation for rocket fire aimed at civilians in southern Israeli towns.
Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak told Israel's parliament in a special session that Israel was not fighting the residents of Gaza "but we have a war to the bitter end against Hamas and its branches."
The strikes appear to have gravely damaged Hamas' ability to launch rockets but a medium-range rocket fired at the Israeli city of Ashkelon killed a man there Monday and wounded several others. It was the second fatality in Israel since the beginning of the offensive and the first person ever to be killed by a rocket in Ashkelon, a city of 120,000.
Six people have been killed in Israel in rocket attacks from Gaza since the beginning of the year, according to Israel's Foreign Ministry. On Sunday, Hamas missiles struck for the first time near the city of Ashdod, twice as far from Gaza as Ashkelon and only 25 miles from Israel's heart in Tel Aviv.
At first light Monday, strong winds blew black smoke from the bombed sites in Gaza City over deserted streets. The air hummed with the buzz of pilotless drones and the roar of jets, punctuated by the explosions of new airstrikes.
A Hamas police spokesman, Ehab Ghussein, said 180 members of the Hamas security forces were among the dead. The United Nations agency in charge of Palestinian refugees said at least 51 of the dead were civilians. A rise in civilian casualties could intensify international pressure on Israel to abort the offensive.
Israel's intense bombings � more than 300 airstrikes since midday Saturday � wreaked unprecedented destruction in Gaza, reducing buildings to rubble. The military said naval vessels also bombarded targets from the sea.
Shlomo Brom, a former senior Israeli military official, said it was the deadliest force ever used in decades of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, who heads a moderate government in the West Bank and is holding peace talks with Israel, issued his strongest condemnation yet of the operation, calling it a "sweeping Israeli aggression against Gaza" and saying he would consult with his bitter rivals in Hamas in an effort to end it.
One strike destroyed a five-story building in the women's wing at Islamic University, one of the most prominent Hamas symbols. Another attack ravaged a compound controlled by Preventive Security, one of the group's chief security arms, and a third destroyed a house next to the residence of Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas prime minister.
Like other Hamas leaders, Haniyeh is in hiding.
Late on Sunday, Israeli aircraft attacked a building in the Jebaliya refugee camp next to Gaza City, killing a woman, a toddler and three young teenage girls, Gaza Health Ministry official Dr. Moaiya Hassanain said.
In the southern town of Rafah, a toddler and his two teenage brothers were killed in an airstrike aimed at a Hamas commander, Hassanain said. In Gaza City, another attack killed a man and his wife.
In the most dramatic attacks Sunday, warplanes struck dozens of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border, cutting off a lifeline that had supplied Hamas with weapons and Gaza with commercial goods. The influx of goods helped Hamas defy an 18-month blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt and was key to propping up its rule.
Gaza's nine hospitals were overwhelmed. Hassanain, who keeps a record for the Gaza Health Ministry, said more than 1,400 were wounded over two days of fighting and casualties were now being taken to private clinics and even homes.
Abdel Hafez, a 55-year-old history teacher, waited outside a Gaza City bakery to buy bread, one of the few people visible outdoors. He said he was not a Hamas supporter but believed the strikes would only increase support for the group.
"Each strike, each drop of blood are giving Hamas more fuel to continue," he said.
In Jerusalem, Israel's Cabinet approved a call-up of 6,500 reserve soldiers Sunday in apparent preparation for a ground offensive. The final decision to call up more reserves has yet to be made by the defense minister, Ehud Barak, and the Cabinet decision could be a pressure tactic.
Israel has doubled the number of troops on the Gaza border since Saturday and deployed an artillery battery. Several hundred reservists have already been summoned to join their units but no full combat formations have been mobilized so far.
Military experts said Israel would need at least 10,000 soldiers for a full-scale invasion.
Since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 after a 38-year military occupation, Israeli forces have repeatedly returned to the territory to hunt militants firing rockets at Israeli towns. But it has shied away from retaking the entire strip for fear of getting bogged down in urban warfare.
The assault has sparked diplomatic fallout.
Syria decided to suspend indirect peace talks with Israel, begun earlier this year. The United Nations Security Council called on both sides to halt the fighting and asked Israel to allow humanitarian supplies into Gaza. Israel opened one of Gaza's border crossings Monday and about 40 trucks had entered with food and medical supplies by mid-day, military spokesman Peter Lerner said.
The prime minister of Turkey, one of the few Muslim countries to have relations with Israel, called the air assault a "crime against humanity" and French President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned "the provocations that led to this situation as well as the disproportionate use of force."
The carnage has inflamed Arab and Muslim public opinion, setting off street protests in Arab communities in Israel and the West Bank, across the Arab world and in some European cities. On Monday, a Palestinian stabbed and wounded four Israelis in a West Bank settlement before he was shot and wounded. It was not immediately clear if the attack was directly connected to the events in Gaza.
Associated Press Writer Matti Friedman reported from Jerusalem.
