Tax identity theft topped the 2013 Dirty Dozen List compiled by the IRS. Tax identity theft is a fast-growing crime that costs billions of dollars a year and shows no signs of slowing down.
Crooks look for discarded tax returns, bank records, credit card receipts, Medicare cards and more, often relying on email or telephone phishing, dumpster diving, or stealing from your mailbox. They use that info to file for a tax refund before you do. When you file your return later, IRS records will show the first filing and refund, and you'll get a notice or letter from the IRS.
Here are a few tips to protect yourself:
Reduce tax time stress. File as early in the season as possible, and mail tax returns directly from the post office. If filing electronically, use a secure network and encrypt.
Stay safe online. Do not respond to emails that appear to be from the IRS, and never click on links! The IRS does not send unsolicited, tax-account related emails and never asks for personal and financial information.
Protect your personal information. Never store important account numbers or data in purses or wallets, or on smartphones. Use a shredder for paper documents, and install a locking mailbox.
Monitor your accounts and review financial statements regularly. Sign up for your free annual credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com.
If you think you're a victim of tax ID theft, take these steps right away:
• File a report with the local police.
• Contact your bank and credit card companies. Inform credit bureaus and consider freezing your accounts (a credit freeze restricts access to credit reports, making it unlikely that thieves can open new accounts in your name).
• Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490 and complete Form 14039.
• Get an IP (Identity Protection) PIN from the IRS so they can verify your identity as they work with you on the theft going forward.

One year ago, marriage equality first arrived in Wisconsin, and our lives were changed forever.

One year ago, marriage equality first arrived in Wisconsin, and our lives were changed forever.
We invite couples married between June 6 and June 13, 2014 to celebrate their one-year anniversary at PrideFest Milwaukee! [Read more…]
For Wisconsin's same-sex couples, marriage is now an undeniable and indisputable legal right — for the first time in our state's 166-year history. [Read more…]
Will 2014 be the year love wins in Wisconsin?
Seventeen U.S. states and the District of Columbia have already legalized same-sex marriage, with constitutional bans being challenged or overturned in additional states everyday. And now, finally, Wisconsin might join the list!
On February 3, the ACLU of Wisconsin filed a federal lawsuit against the same-sex marriage ban in our state, which not only bans marriage equality, but penalizes out-of-state same-sex marriages as a crime punishable by up to nine months in prison and a $10,000 fine. Read the ACLU press release here.
Meet the couples who are furiously fighting for YOUR freedom to marry.
PrideFest Milwaukee believes strongly in achieving marriage equality for all Wisconsin citizens.
That's why we have selected the ACLU of Wisconsin as the beneficiary of our 2014 Plus One Campaign. Ticketholders will have the option of saying "plus one" at the gates to donate an extra $1 directly to the ACLU.
While $1 may not seem like much, the combined power of the PrideFest Milwaukee community — almost 30,000 annual visitors — can truly make a difference and change our world. We ask that all visitors consider the power of their extra dollars. Additional donations may be made online at the ACLU of Wisconsin website.
BONUS: On April 4, Diamond Nexus; one of the largest online, lab-created engagement jewelers in the country; announced its official sponsorship of PrideFest Milwaukee, and its partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Wisconsin Foundation in support of marriage equality. Diamond Nexus has committed to match donated dollars up to $10,000 to support the state effort. Read the official Diamond Nexus press release.
As a sponsor of PrideFest Milwaukee, Diamond Nexus will also be sponsoring a celebratory commitment ceremony to be held during the June festival for couples, which will honor the eight Wisconsin couples named in the ACLU of Wisconsin Foundation lawsuit. Diamond Nexus is also unveiling its "Love Equally" collection, a unique collection of rings designed for the LGBT community.
What else can you do to support the #FreedomToMarry?
The ACLU of Wisconsin might invite additional couples to share their personal testimonials in this case. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
Wisconsin is now the only Great Lakes state where same-sex marriage is a crime punishable by law.
Although not enforced, Wisconsin Statue Statute 765.30 allows a penalty of up to $10,000 and nine months of imprisonment for citizens who enter out-of-state marriage licenses that would not be legally issued in Wisconsin.
On February 3, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Wisconsin, and the law firm of Mayer Brown filed a federal lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, as well as the additional harm this legislation creates for the LGBT community.
Meet the couples who are making their moment in LGBT history. [Read more…]

Why Toyota's Factories Stay Open
Despite excess capacity, Toyota rarely closes factories.
On April 1, 2010, the last Toyota Corolla rolled off the assembly line at the GM/Toyota jointly operated NUMMI auto plant in Fremont, California. This was on the heels of a major financial crisis that hit many automakers hard, causing mass layoffs and taking entire brands (like Pontiac and Hummer) along with it.
NUMMI is one of the few plants that Toyota has ever shut down. Even when NUMMI's co-owner, GM, was mired in bankruptcy and all but certain to walk away from NUMMI, Toyota considered keeping the plant open to produce Toyota vehicles exclusively. Toyota worked with the worker's union to try to keep the plant open. When it became clear the plant would be closed, Toyota worked to ensure employees would receive a severance, job training, and more.
While the closing of NUMMI was almost certainly inevitable (California had become a difficult place to build vehicles for a variety of reasons), it was an unusually rare occurrence for Toyota. This because - as a general rule - Toyota doesn't tend to close factories. Here's why:
Toyota Values Human Capital
"Because people make our automobiles, nothing gets started until we train and educate our people."
This philosophy was expressed by Toyota advisor Eiji Toyoda, and it's shared as a company-wide view of Toyota. This was chronicled in 2008 amidst the auto crisis when Toyota's truck sales had plummeted by nearly 50%. Instead of laying off workers at the San Antonio truck plant (which produced the Tundra and Tacoma), Toyota decided to keep their 2,000 plant worker on payroll full-time. But it's not like these employees were sitting around half the day.
"Team members will continue to report to work and will continue to work as a two-shift operation, and they will continue to be paid 100 percent of wages," said Toyota spokesman Mike de la Garza at the time.
When those employees weren't building Toyotas, they spent their time in training, learning new skills. Toyota also encouraged employees to volunteer in San Antonio and help with community service, while Toyota paid the full hourly rate.
Toyota makes investments in workers - and avoids layoffs - because Toyota values workers as a form of capital. Good workers are hard to come by. Toyota understands this, and makes an effort to retain great workers by all but guaranteeing employment.
Toyota Tolerates Excess Capacity
This point is piggy-backing off the last, but it's still a great reason why Toyota's factories continue to stay open.
In an ideal world, Toyota would never have excess manufacturing capacity. They would sell every car they could build, as that would maximize efficiency and profits. Of course, the world is not ideal. Plant capacity utilization ebbs and flows with the market.
However, unlike other automakers, Toyota does not typically use downturns in sales to justify plant closures. Instead, Toyota takes a long-term view of plant capacity and production. Instead of closing a plant to save a few dollars over the next 3 years, Toyota will look 5, 10, or even 20 years down the road and project a plant's total value. If the long-term looks good, Toyota will keep an underutilized plant open.
This was even true during the Great Recession, when Toyota kept their regular US manufacturing employees on payroll and their factories running despite the plummet of global auto sales.
Overall, Toyota doesn't panic when their factories aren't operating at 100%. Instead, they wait it out, invest in their employees, and wait for future demand to kick in.
Toyota Builds Where They Sell
Toyota used the 2008 recession as a learning experience. What exactly did they learn? They determined that a "build where you sell" business model ensures the most long-term profits. Instead of watching profits melt away due to currency fluctuations, Toyota has decided to diversity production and move it outside Japan.
Today, Toyota is prioritizing new plant construction in markets that are likely to have long-term growth. Toyota will build a new plant in Mexico (to serve the fast-growing North American market), as well as a new plant in China. While these plants will be expensive (billions of dollars, when it's all said and done), they will serve markets that have long-term future.
Additionally, Toyota is spending substantial sums to make its various divisions around the world (Toyota USA, Toyota Europe, etc) more autonomous. Toyota USA, for example, is building a new headquarters in Plano, Texas, and conducting a major upgrade of the Kentucky plant.
Summing up, Toyota factories stay open because Toyota always operates with a long term view. Toyota doesn't build plants unless they have a long-term future, and Toyota doesn't shutter plants because of short-term market changes.

This city refuses to settle down. It's caught in a perpetually short life-cycle of construct-deconstruct-reconstruct….
As I took a walk across a work site today, I found it a little unsettling that I could identify all the basic elements of shapes within the rubble of the fallen building that had been a perfect geometric structure just a while back.
"Few minds wear out; more rust out"
"It is better to rust out than wear out."
"To put one brick upon another
Add a third, and then a fourth,
Leaves no time to wonder whether
What you do has any worth"
"One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous. "
"If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it's a failure.."
"In all these sights I achieve solace only in bringing forth trees, picturing them blooming like smoke from the roofs of gutted buildings, dreaming of what a fine and picturesque pile of rubble this city will someday make."

If you have a model airplane or toy drones, you will not need to inform the federal government of your actions, says an appeals court.
FOX's Eben Brown reports:
The federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. throws out a federal regulation that was making owners of recreational drones and even flying toy airplanes register their devices with the Federal Aviation Administration, the very same agency that manages airlines and air traffic control.
The FAA announced such a rule in 2015 after noticing hobbyists were flying drones close to airports. More than a half-million were registered that first year but some people sued. The FAA said it was intended to enforce safety.

Wayne Brezinka
Local Artist Visit
February 27, 2012
Today, one of our 4th grade classes had the awesome opportunity of seeing the artwork of local Nashville artist
Wayne Brezinka.
He came to talk about his artwork, his process of working with mixed media collage and also about how he makes a living with his artwork. Everybody was super involved, asking questions and thinking about having careers in art. When asked, "How many of you love art?", almost every hand in the room went up. A teacher tear came to my eye.
We had such an enriching experience! What a lucky group of kids.
Visit Wayne's website to see some of his collages and publications. Great resource!
Here's some photos of his visit:

All parts now due on Monday next so that's it for this week other than due to a mishap with my Shadow last Sunday I have some repair work and parts to do to that too.

I tend to think in terms of "top 5" lists. "Top 5" movies. "Top 5" favorite desert island snack foods. Of course, my internal dialogue hears them read by John Cusack…justifications and all. So, when end of year rolls around, it's like an excuse to think in terms of "top 5 lists". Except "Top 5" of '10 seems to be missing the mark…so for the end of decade…let's shoot for 10…granted, it may be a watered down 10, and I'm not going to put them in any particular order, because we all know these things vary from day-to-day. Pretend you hear John Cusak too…
Top 10 Great Personal Moments of 2010
- Saw Dolly Parton (and Kenny Rogers) at DollyWood Amusement park. Dolly's my hair hero…and while the gal is looking a bit rough with all of the plastic surgery, I love how she embraces her gay fans and can laugh at herself when need be.
- Skated in a double overtime derby bout. If you know derby, you know how amazingly rare this occurs. It was epic.
- Did yoga for the first time. Lots of people talk about yoga like it's just resting, and that if you want to gain anything from it, it has to be hot yoga or rope yoga or yoga with your cat. But they clearly haven't tried traditional yoga. I did shoulder stands and hand stands and learned that I'm actually pretty flexible for an out-of-shape girl. More importantly, I grasped the concept of clearing my head, thinking in a slow, and logical way. Tuning out distractions, and focusing on the one thing in the pose at that moment. Since starting weekly yoga, there are times where I can even drown out sounds in order to listen to something more carefully. It's euphoric, and still, all at once.
- Ran my first 5 k. Not bad, considering it took me years to get up to running a mile, or 20 minutes consecutively. Somehow, I did it. In 20-degree-weather. I'm not sure I'll ever do it again, but it was one of the few times I've ever really been proud of myself.
- Transferred to a big girl college, not just the community college that I've been at for years, and years. I'm establishing my major as a creative writer, and feel very good for having finally come to a natural conclusion about my path in life. Writing is at least my 4th major in college, but it's been something I've known I enjoyed since I was old enough to enjoy anything. I'm glad that I've finally realized that I'm not trying to get a degree to get a job-I want to learn to be good at something that is important to me.
- Road trip to the Carolinas with my husband. Honestly, the vacation itself sucked, but you know what they say…it's not the destination, but the trip…or something like that. It's a bonding and strengthening experience to spend literally days in a car with a loved one, and find yourself still wanting to be with that person at the end of it all.
- I got to be on Man vs. Food. No big euphoric point here…just pretty damned cool.
- Got a tattoo. It was deeply personal, and symbolic of the strength that derby gives me…another means of carrying that strength with me in other aspects of life.
- Had my derby comic book published, via Oni Press. I wrote it, but I was very fortunate that my artist did such a remarkable job with the details and essence of me and my team, so the story really does portray my experience.
- seeing my 2nd cousin join jr. derby at age 13. I can't describe how grateful I am that young women are getting the benefits of derby at such a critical and difficult time in their lives. I'm so proud to be in this derby-society, and even more proud that these young girls are joining us.
And…a few more "tops":
- Top Beer: the beer that I drank on the bleachers at East Coast Extravaganza Derby event…at 11 am. Something about the freedom to drink at 11 am makes the beer taste better.
- Top Song: The Heartless Bastards "Out At Sea" (they're also my "top show")
- Top Movie: Mary and Max. It's claymation, it's on netflix on demand…and it's rare that I'll get so emotional watching anything.
- Top Book: to be honest, I read a ton of short fiction for classes this year, and I can't really pick. Mike Birbiglia's, "Sleepwalk with me" comes to mind though, and I have a feeling he'd like being on anyone's top list.
- Top Meal: damned hard to pick. the breakfast place we went to during Derby Nationals in Chicago, the post 5k omelette and pumpkin pancakes, the pre-tattoo chicken tacos…I really can't pick.
Wow…writing a list of top anything can make you feel optimistic…i started this post thinking that maybe I'd be doing a low-points list (which would include seeing only the dead sea turtle while on vacation, watching my neurologically challenged dog drag herself around the house, and nearly totalling my car) but who wants to think about that crap?
Happy New Year Interwebs! I hope 2011's a good one.

If you've been smoking tough all day and you're looking for something to do while high, Wenatchee may be an isolated area but the region's got plenty to offer. Most of Wenatchee's top attractions are outdoors, so it might be something you aim to do in the summer. Nevertheless if you're high and want to enjoy yourself, Wenatchee's got plenty to choose from. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, lakes and wildlife, Wenatchee is one of the most appealing regions of the pacific northwest. If you're too stoned to function, getting outside can be the perfect remedy.
Riverfront Park
You can't smoke in public, so hit the Riverfront Park after you light up. It's a good park for sightseeing, walking or even if you plan to use the boat launch and go tubing. There's 31 acres to explore, so you're never going to run out of interesting things to look at. There's also a mini-railroad special event that you can sign up to that is put on by the park.
Wenatchee National Forest
Washington is beautiful as a whole but Wenatchee's National Forest really showcases the depth of being outdoors in the PNW. If you're interested in hiking, horseback riding, climbing, long walks and wildlife, this is the place to be. The next time you smoke up, why not go outside and visit somewhere you can really do something? There are trees to climb, trails to explore and rivers to swim in. You can even rent ATV's and venture into the mountains. Just don't do that one high or you might not find your way home.
Ohme Gardens
If you'd rather chill out and not go on a quest in the mountains, Ohme Gardens is a good place for sitting, walking and sightseeing. The grounds feature cedar and fir trees that are more than 70 years old and it's truly a photographer's paradise. Weddings are held here because of the breathtaking views that came naturally with the land. Ohme Gardens landscapers have added a personal touch with walkways, ponds, natural stone paths and more. Ohme Gardens is a peaceful and quiet area with floral displays and excellent scenery. If you plan on going somewhere when you're high, this place is one to remember. Don't light up on the grounds but feel free to get as stoned as you want before you visit.
Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce
The Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce is where all the action's at during certain times of the year. With hundreds of acres of barren landscape surrounding it, there's ponds, lakes and nearby mountains. It's an incredible sight. There's also buildings, bridges and streets worth exploring close by. The public market is also located here and during the summer, you'll find hundreds of people on the streets buying the region's best food, flowers and homemade products. In the winter time, the area is covered with snow and is as empty as can be. It's great for exploring and seeing what Wenatchee has to offer. You can even sign up for river rafting with an experienced guide if you're up for the challenge.
Get some coffee and relax at Caffe Mela
Caffe Mela is known as being one of Wenatchee's top coffee shops. There's good food and it's a great environment for relaxing and enjoying some time with friends. If you just smoked a few bowls and you're ready for something laid back, the caffe is a good place to take a load off. There's music at times and the latte's are the best in the area.
If you need a close by Wenatchee marijuana shop, Green Life Cannabis has you covered!

Gunmen abduct German professor and his associate; kill 2 Nigerians
A German archaeologist, Prof. Peter Breunij, and his associate Johannes Buringer have been abducted by yet to be identified gunmen at Jenjela, Kaduna State. The suspected kidnappers killed two Nigerians who attempted to thwart the abduction.
The professor is the head of a four-man team from the University of Frankfurt, Germany working in Nigeria in collaboration with the National Commission for Museums and Monuments and other institutions on the relics of the Nok culture in Nigeria.
The two ladies who are members of the team were however not taken by the abductors. A witness said the incident happened when they had resumed for work at a site at Jenjela village and had started working when five gunmen appeared from the bush.
The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Usman Aliyu confirmed the incident, saying the German professor and his team had been working on the site for the past 10 years and that a team of policemen from the special forces, the anti-cattle rustling squad and others had started a rescue mission.

A couple of days after release and I had my Hunter to 95, took a break because I wasn't digging Marksman spec – too much like a caster that can move. So I switched to a Shaman, no, not Enhancement or Restoration but Elemental. Yup. In true Smaken Dahed style, I drop a class that feels too much like a caster to play a caster. A gimp one at that. At the time, Shaman were bottom of the barrel.
I have a thing for the lame duck class in MMOs.
Hit 100 with that, started doing heroics and realized I didn't like it so much. Back to the Hunter.
I switched from Marksman to Survival – and found it was good. Better than MM, which pains me to admit because I've never liked SV. Ever.
As Survival is now, its middle of the pack with no burst but a lot of mobility, more so than MM which allows me to pick up extra tasks during raids, which I do and still manage to land in the top three. I admit, I miss Kill Shot or some sort of burst ability that is unique to the class, but at least it seems different from the other two specs.
Yeah, raiding again, same group slightly earlier time. We're 6/7 on normal and 1/7 on heroic. The flexible number of raiders is nice, means we don't have to cut people.
Expansion has been out for a month and already, as a guildie said, it is feeling like its in maintenance mode. Pop in, do garrison stuff on two toons then do some trapping or fishing for raid materials and log out. No need for dungeons and no drive to level an alt.
Raid nights are fun but that is all I have in that game. Might be feeling hung over from the length of MoP or maybe feeling less of a reward for time spent. Even leveling there is not much of a difference in the toon except the number representing the level. From level 90 to the cap, 100, the only gain is a talent at 100, maybe some unlocks at the garrison and a couple of 'perks' which are passive and mostly unexciting.
Ah well, at least there is raiding.

Vision flooded with style
In my childhood days, I suffered from a vision related problem, so the doctor advised me to wear a pair of good quality eyeglasses. I was very funny and naughty at that time. I used to fool around and was the favourite of my friends because I made them laugh and we together used to play pranks on others. But then this episode happened and I was burdened with a pair of eyeglasses that was quite good in offering clear vision but completely ruined my natural look. After the completion of my 12th board exams, I wanted a different pair of eyeglasses that could keep my optic vision in the bracket of unmatched style. The internal desire to look stylish with high optic vision experience was readily met by the use of Oakley eyeglasses.

In the past month, the Scottish Stammering Network have been contacted by people who have gone to their GP to ask to be referred to NHS Speech and Language therapy for their stammer. On one occasion a GP told the person that the NHS does not provide services for stammering. Another person was told by their GP that their stammer was not severe enough to get therapy for. This is unacceptable.
We have spoken with NHS Speech Therapists who are shocked GPs are behaving in this way. GPs have no way to judge how severe a person's stammer is or the effect it is having on a persons life in a 10 minute appointment. Only a Speech Therapist can make an accurate assessment but some GPs are stopping people who stammer being referred on for speech therapy, due to ignorance of the system and service provided by their Health Boards.
Therefore, we are taking our concerns to the Scottish Government and the NHS but to do so we need to gather more evidence. If you have ever received Speech and Language Therapy or been denied access to therapy by a GP, please fill in our survey.

The USB external hard drives that are now being manufactured have storage capacity of 750GB and above. The external drives are portable.On the other hand, the cost of the external hard drives is lower than the flash memories and cards having the similar storage capacity. The cycles of the external USB drives are more than that of the flash drives. The external USB drives are better than the flash drives because there are limited cycles of erase/write in the flash drives. The user can also run software from the USB external hard drives.

The Last Deserver
It's that time again. Killing Time - Horror E-Rag Issue 2-6 is available now. A brand new issue, and new horrors. This is the last issue of Year Two. That means that you could instead buy all six issues at a discounted price. Either way it's a good day to be a horror fan. The first thing I want to tell you about is this issue's piece of the serial story PSY3007 Act 6. As I mentioned last time it could be the stunning conclusion to the story or a mind-blowing cliffhanger. The only way to find out it is to buy the issue and read for yourself. The other two stories in this issue are a little longer than previous ones have been making this issue more bang for your buck. The first is "Ghost of the Navigator" about a storeowner who picks up a ghost. The other is "No Fury", and is the last of the Deservers stories. Devils are afoot again, but they may have some competition.
The first article--after the "Letter From the Editor" detailing the creative process of the issue and other sundry thoughts--is titled "Horror Stars?" and is a veritable who's who of actors and actresses that you might never have imaged played roles in a horror movie. This issue also marks the final "Horror Movie Franchise Discussion" with #9 and it is the Scream Trilogy. It's a very interesting look back in light that there is soon to be a fourth movie, which is bound to change some of the dynamics described and come with it's own new rules of horror. Until then the last article, the final "Hangman's Noose", covers a lot of the rules of horror movies and especially horror movie franchises. The two reviews are for the movies "The Cell" and "The Mothman Prophesies" this time. The next issue will be coming out January 21, 2011, not in December. I hope you can wait.

Changing Roles For Official Film Websites
By Robert Marich
Marketing executives say that some films still load up their main websites because powerful creative talent – actors, producers and directors -- demand it because of what they had heard about "Blair Witch". Official movie websites cost from a rock-bottom single digit thousands of dollars for a sparse indie film to a few hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially for sci-fi and fantasy movies, whose fans expect an elaborate destination.
Certainly, some films these days clearly lend themselves to a heavy focus on their official websites, such as "The Golden Compass," which is based on the Philip Pullman fantasy novels. "The movie has the broad fantasy, creatures and other world elements that play well to online audience," says Gordon Paddison, executive VP new media marketing at New Line Cinema, which will release the film Dec. 7, 2007. "It requires explanation and exploration, which gives us a way to explain this other world to consumers in an entertainment manner."
For DreamWorks/Paramount "She's the Man" released in 2006, ad agency Special Ops created a second website shesthesite.com that lets consumers interact with the Amanda character (her dorm room desk is the homepage), which is separate from the main shestheman-themovie.com that presents basic movie information.

It is not clear who the culprit is. It is not clear if the GOP is causing it, or Fox News, or the Romney/Ryan ticket, or the Religious Right, or if it's just the "nature of the beast," but it seems that Conservatives are allergic to facts. What else is the reason to avoid them like the Plague. One can argue that this condition popped up on the radar during the Nixon administration, but it definitely exploded during the Reagan years and then again during the "W" Dark Age. Just a single, small point to support this position: "[Public Policy Polling] asked voters who they thought deserved more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden: Obama or Romney. 63 percent said Obama, 31 percent weren't sure, and 6 percent said Romney. The results for Republican voters were even more astonishing. 38 percent said Obama, 47 percent weren't sure, and 15 percent said Romney," (Matthews, Washington Post) It is not understood how this even happened. I get how some people are misinformed and others are completely uninformed, however to even come to the decision in one's head that Mitt Romney had ANYTHING at all, ever, to do with the killing of bin Laden is beyond comprehension.
Fox News is the known source of information to much of the right-wing and almost all of the people in the South and Midwest of the US. However, there have been more than one study showing that a person is more informed if they don't watch any television at all than if they sat and watched Fox News all day, every day. Starting with an article written by Kenneth Rapoza for Forbes.com about a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll and an additional SIX more studies, there has been evidence that Fox News viewers to be the most misinformed about, and in a right-wing direction, about global warming, health care, health care a second time, the Ground Zero mosque, the Iraq war, and the 2010 election. This unofficially named "Fox News Effect" is frightening and says a lot about today's media, what is truly fair and balanced, and the right-wing.
The Romney/Ryan Campaign are not ignoramuses. They are analysts, advisers, strategists, and former staffers to other administrations. They HAVE to know about this "information-gap" within their base and they have to be capitalizing on it. Why else would Romney be so close to President Obamain the polls? Romney/Ryan are campaigning to the ignorant, sometimes racist, Palin-loving, religious conservatives that do not know much and are happy about it. That could be a reason why Romney and Ryan never get into the specifics about their policies. It is because they know that their uninformed base cannot comprehend the specifics, and they do not care to boot. The problem is Romney and Ryan have to run as "the Other;" the anti-Obama; the lesser of two evils. In talking with other conservatives, Romney is not specific enough, not conservative enough, he's not a real Christian, and no one knows what position he'll take from day-to-day. He's a businessman trying to run his campaign, and maybe his presidency, like a business. But the American govt is not to turn a profit, and besides Romney was a lousy businessman who inherited his fortune from his father. And if there were specifics to his policies and positions, the Right does not have a Bill Clinton to explain it to them.
Say what they must about their own campaign and policies, nothing gets the Romney/Ryan ticket up in the polls like Obama-bashing. But they are finding it increasingly difficult to bash him in anything other than not solving the economic crisis fast enough. They can't touch President Obama on foreign policy, or drilling for gas/oil, or mining, or green energy. They can't touch him on healthcare, even though they've tried like hell, or education, or immigration. They throw the word socialist around, but Obama has been the worst socialist President ever, even though he is not one.
You see, there are a few things the right-wing do not know about President Obama because either Fox News "forgot to mention it" or because they were distracted by the President's skin color. When facts are released, the Romney/Ryan Ticket have NOTHING to run on. Obama probably stopped the Second-Coming of the Great Depression, gave the country healthcare, got the US out of Iraq, started the withdrawal from Afghanistan, was essential in the killing of Osama bin Laden and Muammar al-Gaddafi, implemented Wall Street Reform, the Auto Bailout, the DREAM Act, repealed Don't Ask – Don't Tell, put two women on the Supreme Court, reactivated Stem Cell Research, equal pay for women, stopped torture, and reformed student loans for college students.
But hey, don't distract yourselves with the facts and figures of history and current events. Because if you do, you forget that the President is a Black Muslim with a Negro army who are coming to take you away to socialist FEMA re-education camps that will make you give away all your money to the poor illegals while you sit in front of a death-panel…

In most cases, conference interpreters work from their passive languages into their mother tongue. The mother tongue is their active language and is sometimes known as the A-language.
Some interpreters have an excellent command of a language other than the native language and are able to work into that language from one or more of their other languages. They have a second active language. An interpreter who is able to work from his or her mother tongue into a second active language is said to do a retour. Some interpreters who have a retour language work into that language only in consecutive, not in simultaneous.
Passive languages are languages the interpreter fully understands and would most often speak to some extent, only not enough to work into that language.
Active languages:
A : The interpreter's native language (or another language strictly equivalent to a native language), into which the interpreter works from all her or his other languages in both modes of interpretation, simultaneous and consecutive. All members must have at least one 'A' language but may have more than one.
B : A language other than the interpreter's native language, of which she or he has a perfect command and into which she or he works from one or more of her or his other languages. Some interpreters work into a 'B' language in only one of the two modes of interpretation.
Passive languages:
C : Languages, of which the interpreter has a complete understanding and from which she or he works.

Burlington, Vermont is the state's largest city at just over 42,000 residents. This beautiful, city in the country sits on a hillside on the eastern shores of Lake Champlain, nestled between western Vermont, eastern upstate New York, and the Canadian border.
What to Do In Burlington
Assuming you've travelled to Burlington in your car, SUV, or pickup (or that you already live there), there's lots to explore from the seat of your OYAMA folder—and given the hilly nature of Burlington, you're more than likely going to want to explore using an OYAMA ebike for that all-important pedal assist.
Church Street Marketplace—This award-winning, brick-paved pedestrian mall sits at the heart of downtown Burlington. If you're looking to shop, dine, or have an adult beverage, this is the place to be. Only pedestrian traffic is allowed in this open-air space, so you'll need to leave your OYAMA folder behind. But that's OK. The marketplace is imminently walkable, and once inside its easy-to-discern boundaries, you'll find street entertainers, music, sidewalk sales and festivals, art galleries, and more than 100 places to shop and dine. If you do nothing else in Burlington, go here.
Lake Champlain Ferry's—Lake Champlain Transportation Company operates three ferry crossings across Lake Champlain and a marina at the Burlington waterfront. This is a great way to cut hours of travel time by taking you and your car across Lake Champlain to or from Burlington. Of course, fees apply. It costs $30 for automobiles under 19-feet, plus $8 per adult passenger (there are discounts for children and seniors). The crossing from Burlington to New York State takes about an hour and offers some spectacular views.
Heady Topper—While not made in Burlington itself, if you spend any time there, you will no doubt experience the phenomenon of "Heady Topper." Not a person, this is a much sought after beer brewed by The Alchemist brewery, which according to an article in the Boston Globe, puts out around 50,000 "16-ounce cans of the double India Pale ale each week." Since this self-proclaimed "best beer in the world" is only distributed within 20-miles of where it's produced, and every can sells (local legend has it that someone once flew in from Africa to get a can), Burlington residents and visitors alike consider themselves lucky to be near enough to get their share. So, if you happen to see lines of patrons outside Burlington establishments where beer is sold, chances are people are queued up for a chance to get some Heady Topper.
Spot on the Dock—The Spot on the Dock restaurant sits right behind the Ferry Dock Marina on the waterfront. It serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. This is one of the best locations on the waterfront to see the sunset, and a hot spot for locals and visitors alike who want to unwind after a day at work or a day touring the city.
Hen of the Wood—Located on the ground level of the Hotel Vermont, this restaurant serves world-class cuisine and craft cocktails. The menus change regularly and feature many small plates showcasing locally grown and produced food items. Not to be missed are the Parker House Rolls.
A Single Pebble—Located in what looks and feels like a cozy, old home, the classic Chinese cuisine served at this restaurant features vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients, many of which are locally grown. Meals are served family style.
Trattoria Delia—Trattoria Delia features authentic, expertly prepared Italian cuisine. Located in the historic Vermont House (originally a turn of the century hotel), the restaurant interior was once a working sugar house that's been relocated from nearby New Hampshire.
The Farmhouse Tap & Grill—This farm-to-table gastropub serves award winning burgers and features a world class craft beer menu.
University of Vermont—Burlington is home to three colleges and a university, including the University of Vermont, a Public Ivy and top 100 research university which features one of the 10 most selective medical schools in the United States.
Explore More with OYAMA
Burlington also boasts a large population of artists and craftspeople, whose works you'll see in the many galleries and studios throughout the city and surrounding towns—all of which you can explore with your OYAMA folding bike. OYAMA ebikes (such as the OYAMA CX E8D and CX E8D Version II) fold up small enough to go wherever you go, are big enough to offer a safe and comfortable ride, and all models come with a set of rear racks, so you can carry some shopping treasures along too.
With more than 50 years of mechanical and design expertise, OYAMA Bikes builds 200+ varieties of practical, functional, and innovative folding bikes for active mobile cyclists. Known for their amazing ride quality and functionality, OYAMA bikes offer quality, utility, comfort, and style and are distributed in the United States by Foldaway Solutions of Covina, CA.

KABUL (Reuters/AFP) - A suicide car bomber targeted a convoy of foreign troops in the Afghan capital during rush hour-traffic on Sunday (Oct 11), an official said, flipping an armoured vehicle on its side, but the number of casualties was unknown.
Taleban insurgents claimed responsibility for the attack in the city centre that broke a period of relative calm in Kabul after a series of bombings in August.
TV footage showed an armoured vehicle on its side as Afghan security forces cordoned off the street in the Joi Sheer neighbourhood.
"It was a suicide bombing against a foreign forces convoy in a crowded part of the city and there are casualties," said Mr Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
He did not specify whether there were casualties among the foreign forces.
The US-led Resolute Support military coalition in Kabul confirmed that one of its convoys was struck by a bomb.
"No casualties are reported at this time," said spokesman Colonel Brian Tribus.
The Taleban insurgents fighting to topple the foreign-backed Kabul government claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack, saying it killed a number of foreign troops. The group typically inflates casualty figures they inflict on Afghan and coalition forces.
The powerful blast comes just days after the Taleban overran northern Kunduz city in their most spectacular victory in 14 years.
The Taleban have stepped up attacks on government and foreign targets since they launched their annual summer offensive in late April.
The insurgents' recent seizure of Kunduz city marked a blow for Afghan forces, who have largely been fighting on their own since the end of Nato's combat mission in December.
As fighting spreads in neighbouring Badakhshan, Takhar and Baghlan provinces, concerns are mounting that the seizure of Kunduz was merely the opening gambit in a new, bolder strategy to tighten the insurgency's grip across northern Afghanistan.
Most Nato combat troops pulled out of Afghanistan last year but a small contingent focused on training and counter-terrorism operations remains, including roughly 10,000 American soldiers.

Now, it's worth noting that the 1990 "gap" that Pew is reporting isn't all that big to begin with. A 6 percent difference is statistically significant, sure, but it isn't a wide gap. It's also worth noting that marriage by age 30 is dropping overall since 1990. Pew has several reasons for this: "declining economic fortunes of young men without a college degree and their increasing tendency to cohabit with a partner rather than marry."
This seems reasonable. Marriage -- or rather -- weddings are getting more and more expensive. With an economic recession that has resulted in particularly high unemployment among the under-30 crowd, it's no surprise that couples who are making a serious commitment might put off blowing a lot of cash on a party for their partnership. This was reflected in Amanda Marcotte's analysis of the New York Times' eye-rolling piece on the Millennials and why it takes them so long to "grow up" (i.e. make enough money to live on one's own and get married). Although some studies suggest that co-habitation before marriage is correlated with a higher divorce rate, that fact seems to have done little to deter people from taking the step. It's also important to note other studies have found a historical increase in co-habitation over time (PDF).
Still, I think at a fundamental level, this statistic about marriage is about larger social trends that have separated marriage and sex. Or at least, marriage and one's first sex partner. Much as conservatives huff and puff about how sex before marriage is the devil, even funding ineffective abstinence-until-marriage programs in middle and high schools throughout the country. But the more mainstream point of view is that linking that first sexual experience to marriage is not only uncommon, it's probably a bad idea. Marriage and relationship councilors often preach about sexual compatibility and how essential it is to a good marriage. Not knowing whether a partnership is sexually compatible before locking it into a legally binding agreement, it seems, is often perceived as a mistake.
I can anecdotally support Pew's theory. In my group of late-20s and early-30s friends, most are in serious relationships, but save the few that have recently gotten engaged, no one seems in a rush to the alter. Instead, nearly all are co-habitating. (Note that this is very different among my high school graduating class in the upper Midwest, which I suspect has a high pre-30 marriage rate. Some of these differences might be between urban and rural populations.) Still, this try-it-out trend among 20-somethings (and even 30-somethings and 40-somethings) is probably a good thing. Making commitments is great. But making commitments you're sure about because you've tried it out first is even better.

VP9 is a new proposition. It isn't being accepted by the market well enough. Does that matter to Google?
There's a codec war going on around WebRTC, focusing on the mandatory video codec – it can either be VP8 or H.264. While Google, Mozilla and developers are mostly in the VP8 camp (read: FREE), the rest of the industry and the ecosystem is barricading itself aound H.264 (read: ROYALTIES). While some say it is a technical debate, I beg to defer – it is a political and a business debate. At the end of the day, the end users are not going to feel the difference in quality.
I think that we've moved on to a much more interesting war – the one brewing around VP9 and H.265. VP8 may lose the VP8 round, but the real war is around VP9. Why is that? Because the main "concerns" people have about VP8 don't matter in the case of VP9:
No Hardware Support
Hardware support is hard to deal with. H.264 has a huge footprint. I'd argue it is probably larger than the "1 billion potential WebRTC devices".
Hardware support for a video codec isn't easy. It usually takes 1-2 years to begin with – once you have the basic hardware in place, there's the time it takes to develop the device (add 6-12 months) and then the actual application.
Going with VP8 from 0 to H.264 HW coverage is an impossible task.
Switching gears to VP9, the story resets. VP9 is compared against H.265 – they are on par. The beauty here is that there is no H.265 support in hardware yet, which places both codecs in a similar starting position.
The Need to Transcode
There's a lot of H.264 equipment out there that people would love to be able to connect to WebRTC, so one of the other excuses not to use VP8 is usually around the fact that making it mandatory means there will be a need to transcode the video in all such interactions.
While true, we can argue about the percentage of the use cases that will actually need such capabilities. The problem with that, is that we will be fighting over details. Not a good tactic.
VP9, on the other hand, is again comparable to H.265. If the industry is indeed going to replace H.264 with another codec, then all legacy devices will require transcoding – be it to H.265 or VP9. Same starting position.
Missing Ecosystem
There's no real ecosystem yet around H.265. Well… there is – the companies that have standardized it; but eventually the game is wide open, especially when a behemoth like Google is changing the rules of the game.
During Google I/O, two messages were crystal clear to me, and chipset vendors should take notice.
- NVIDIA showed off 1080p video call using WebRTC on a Tegra 4 based tablet. It uses hardware accelerated VP8. It is a beginning of a hardware ecosystem around VPx line of codecs, and there are move chipset vendors I know of that are headed towards that goal.
- Google is working on two separate advances that may soon collide:
- Compression tech for its mobile Chrome browser, which crunches HTML, CSS, JS and images up to save on bandwidth
- VP9 support in YouTube. With 100 hours of videos uploaded a minute and 1 billion unique monthly visitors, YouTube support for VP9 is hard to ignore
Connect the dots here, and we may soon see VP9 in our mobile browsers for anything that Google sees fit
The first is a nudge to other hardware vendors to get their act together and invest in VP9 to have it ready with/before/instead of H.265.
The second is an indication to developers that an ecosystem of an important browser and an important mobile platform are set on VP9.
Google has the technology and the digital footprint to try and force competitor's hands from H.265 to VP9. And I think it is about to attempt just that.

...and the party is done! Probably one of the easiest parties we have hosted yet! The reason for the party was Back to School, however it was an opportunity for all of my daughters friends who have 18" dolls to bring the dolls over as well.
A picture of the guests of our guests. What shocked me is there were no duplicate dolls brought to the party. Two girls even dressed the same as their doll.
The first activity was to make barrettes for the dolls. We used ribbon and jewels...prettttttyyyyy.
As each of the girls finished their barrettes, they filled in a quiz about themselves that we used to play guess who answered this during our snack time.
The food "buffet". The food was divided into big and little. In addition we used plastic shot glasses as the 18" dolls cup for lemonade PLUS cut regular square napkins in half and folded. The girls LLLLOOOOVVVEED the tiny cups and napkins.
The girls all sat on the floor with their dolls, pretending to feed them. And eating both plates of food.
After snack time, the girls each created a poster for their dolls space at their homes. Oh how long you can keep girls involved with some paper, markers and glittery stickers...
The girls all introduced their dolls on the webcam. Video to be edited and sent out via private YouTube.com link to each of the parents.
We took three pictures of each of the girls; one of the girl alone, one of the doll alone and one of the girl and the doll. Each girl chose which picture they liked best and and glued the picture onto a glittery piece of craft paper and used a ribbon for the chain.

Nutella Mug Cake
Makes 3 servings
Adapted from Family Kitchen
4 tablespoons self-rising flour
4 tablespoons plain white sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Nutella

For an administrator who manages public folders in their Exchange organization, the introduction of Exchange 2007 poses somewhat of a dilemma as to how to administer public folders that exist on Exchange 2007. There are however some easy ways to complete regular administrative tasks using the combination of previous versions of the ESM, Exchange Management Shell as well as PFDAVAdmin tool.
NOTE: This blog post does not talk about upcoming Exchange 2007 SP1 Public Folder user interface added to the Exchange Management Console. We will blog about that separately. For more information on Exchange 2007 SP1, please refer to the following blog post: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/02/23/435699.aspx
Let's go through some common scenarios:
1. How do I discover where replicas of a public folder exist?
It is important to know where the replicas reside for purposes of migration, pubic folder referrals and backups. You can determine where the public folder replicas are from a number of different places:
This is also where you can add or remove Exchange 2007 server's public folder store as a replica.
Public Folders:
Get-publicfolder -recurse |fl name,replicas
As a best practice, include the servername in the public folder store name to avoid confusion.
For System Folders:
Get-public folder \non_ipm_subtree |fl name, replicas
2. How do I move replicas to Exchange 2007?
When migrating public folders, the hierarchy and the data must be moved to the new Exchange 2007 server before the existing server can be decommissioned or the data will be lost. Replicas can be added to folders individually through the Exchange 2003 ESM but can be done more efficiently as follows:
Moveallreplicas.ps1 –server<sourceserver> -newserver<destinationserver>
Note: Scripts are found at %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts. To run a script, type the following in the Exchange Management Shell:
[PS] C:\>cd $exscripts
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts>.\Moveallreplicas.ps1
RemoveReplicaFromPFRecursive.ps1 –TopPubicFolder <\folder> –Server toRemove <servername>
AddReplicatoPFRecursive.ps1 –TopPulblicFolder <\folder> -ServerToAdd <servername>
3. How can I tell if public folder data has replicated to Exchange 2007?
Before we remove the last Exchange 2000/2003 server, we need to verify that the content has been fully replicated to prevent data loss. The easiest way to do this is through Exchange 2003 ESM. Browse to each server and look at the public folder instances. You will be able to determine what data has replicated to the Exchange 2007 server by comparing the size of each folder.
For an Exchange 2003 server:
You can do the same for an Exchange 2007 server.
Viewing the Exchange 2007 public folders in Exchange 2003 ESM has some limitations. It is possible to see the size of the public folders when looking in the public folder instances, but it is impossible to see the content. The only way to view content in Exchange 2007 RTM is to connect using an Outlook client.
You can generate information about public folders and system folders in the Exchange management shell. To see details such as item count and last access time, use the following CMDlet:
This information will help compare content replicated between the source and destination servers.
Additionally, you can also use the PFDavadmin content report functionality.
4. How can I force public folder replication to Exchange 2007?
Replication of information from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 is a combination of the hierarchy information and the content for each of the replicas.
To initiate hierarchy and content replication, use the "Resend changes" and "Synchronize content" options in Exchange 2003 ESM. Read more about those here.
Use the following Exchange Management Shell script to push hierarchy from a 2007 server:
Update-publicfolderhierarchy –server <2007 server that is the source of the replication hierarchy>
Use the following Exchange Management Shell script to push content from a 2007 server :
Update-publicfolder –id <public folder id parameter> -server <2007 server that is the source of the replication data>
Of course, you can read more about CMDlets used above in Exchange 2007 documentation.
Things should wok similarly well with Exchange 2000 in the mix, yes. There were a few features that were named differently in E2000 ESM though.
As far as Interorg PF relication - just use the Inter-Organization replication tool:
You may install it on a machine where only E2007 management tools are installed if you install the MAPI client too:

The majority of active-duty Eagle pilots flying today were born after the aircraft went into service. So to find out if anyone expected the F-15 to remain a viable dogfighter for more than a quarter-century, I tracked down those who designed and built it. They gather every three years for a reunion on the anniversary of the F-15's inaugural flight. Donn Byrnes, who flew F-86 Sabres and F-84 Thunderjets in the 1950s and later spent six years on the Air Force side of the team designing and developing the SR-71 Blackbird, was the system program office project manager for the F-15 airframe. He got involved with the Eagle program in 1969, coordinating with McDonnell Douglas engineers during the early blueprint stages, and stayed through mid-1975.
The 78-year-old retired colonel is panting when I reach him by telephone at his home in Los Lunas, New Mexico. "Sorry, I just hauled in a cord of firewood," explains Byrnes, who wrote the book Air Superiority Blue, a retelling of the Eagle's birth. I ask Byrnes what spawned the sudden demand for an air superiority fighter, something the Air Force hadn't shown an interest in since it procured the P-51 Mustang in 1940. "We had our tail feathers burned off in Vietnam by the MiG-19, and if we went to war with Russia, we would be in deep trouble," he says. "So we wanted to put together a machine that when fitted with a skillful pilot, who is aggressive and courageous, would have the ability to turn and burn and kill whatever he comes across."
Byrnes agrees with most Eagle pilots that the F-15's longevity is a direct result of its singular mission. "We designed the F-15 to do what we wanted it to do, and nothing else." Byrnes is a critic of the multi-role concept: "You don't want to make an airplane be the Swiss Army knife of a fighter," he says. "I'm absolutely not in love with the idea. The F-35 is the worst nightmare of hardware idiocy. It does everything wrong. You need a long-legged fighter, not a short, fat one."
Byrnes credits chief Air Force engineer Frederick Rall for championing the F-15's robust and redundant design. "His mantra was: The first failure can't kill you, and that the only failure we could define that you could not recover from was the stick busting off in the cockpit." Consider the story of Israeli F-15 pilot Zivi Nedivi, who during a training exercise in 1983 hit and destroyed an A-4 Skyhawk. The collision sheared off all but two feet of Nedivi's right wing. He punched the afterburners to generate lift over the fuselage and managed to land.
The Air Force purchased its last F-15 in 2001, and the 499 Eagles that remain in the fleet (C, D, and E models) are, on average, 20 years old. Meanwhile, foreign sales, mainly to Singapore and South Korea, could keep manufacturing plants at Boeing chugging along for at least another few years. "Given the end of the F-22 program, if force structure begins to look really bad, the Air Force could buy a few more F-15s," says Richard Aboulafia, vice president of the Teal Group, a military consulting firm in Fairfax, Virginia. "Every day the line stays open, it keeps alive that chance." A new prototype, the F-15 Silent Eagle, has a stealthy, radar-absorbent coating. "Singapore and South Korea are getting planes that are extremely capable, with the latest systems and sensors," says Aboulafia.
For a guy integral to the design of the world's greatest fighter jet, you'd think Byrnes might be a bit wistful to see the F-15 destined for the boneyard. He's not. In fact, he's dismayed that the Air Force never acquired a fifth generation dogfighter. "It's the only fighter in modern times that has been in constant production for 35 years—who would have thought—and I think it's because we didn't have our act together to buy another one," he says. "When you kick pilots out in the dark and say to them, 'Go find what that is and kill it,' riding an old horse is not the way to succeed. You are asking them to take an airplane guaranteed for 4,000 flight hours with airframes that already have about 6,000—way past their approved fatigue life—and then rat race with them."
Very few Eagle pilots think the F-22 or F-35 will eliminate the need for a dedicated air superiority fighter with a skilled pilot. If you're a multi-role pilot, "intel hands you a target package, you fly the black line, drop the bomb, and come back," says Stratton. "Multi-roles can do different missions, but their primary mission—the reason we bought them—is to drop bombs. A guy that is going to go drop a bomb has been given a discrete target. There is no decision-making. In the F-15C, we're told to protect a battlespace. It's a much more fluid environment."
UAVs, such as Predator drones and their offspring, which undoubtedly will be more sophisticated, could take on dogfights in the future. In fact, some experts predict the F-35 will be the last manned fighter ever built. This deeply troubles F-15C pilots, who know that once their Eagles are scrapped, they could get reassigned to UAV duty. Imagine training to race a Formula One speedster, only to be told that you'll be touring the track in a Prius. "I'd shoot myself," says Leestma. "[Flying UAVs] is a totally different mindset. My skills are not transferable. I am putting myself in a position where my pink body is on the line. I've gotta kill a guy before he kills me…. Personally I don't think there is a replacement for [a pilot who would] actually make that decision to hit the pickle button and shoot somebody."
listening to Leestma, I can't help recalling what happened when the Oregon Short Line arrived in Idaho. Survival no longer hinged on tenacity and resolve. The multi-role jets might herald the future of warfare, with their big bag of tricks to defend the skies. But in both culture and cunning, the dogfighters are the descendants of the gunslingers at Rattlesnake Station, who never went anywhere without their six-shooters, and at high noon, knew how to kill with terrifying precision.

Ok so this is a completely random post for this blog but it's something that's been frustrating us for a while. We are lucky (or maybe not) in that we have 3 playstation 3's in our house. My brothers and my DSL also have PS3's and we have played online games in teams ever since we got them (the day of the release of the console!). Then came black ops and what a nightmare! No matter what we did we could not form a party and were constantly kicked from teh server. I looked it up and it seemed to be related to our nat type. Ours is type 2 which should allow us to play together but the game insisted we were on a strict (type 3) nat. I tried to put the main ps in dmz mode but that meant the other two were still unable to join, I tried assigning ip's and port forwarding etc. I read page after page of people trying to fix it and tried most of the suggestions. Then today in desperation I tried this which was posted by the wonderful waddy007:
Re: NAT TYPE STRICT ON BLACK OPS BUT TYPE 2 & WORKS FINE ON EVERY OTHER ONLINE GAME?
on 14-12-2010 11:21 PM
Here's what you do – (you will need a copy of MW2 for this to work, might work on world at war but I have not tried)
Put in your copy of black ops, go to multiplayer. Go into options and then hit select. The NAT type should say 'strict' (bummer).
Now quit the game and go back to the playstation home screen, eject black ops and put in your copy of modern warefare 2.
Load up the game and go into mutiplayer, go to 'play online' and find where is says NAT type. It should say 'OPEN'.
Now while still on this screen eject the disc which will take you again back to the playstation home screen. Put black ops back in and again go to mutiplayer, then go to options. Now cross your fingers and hit select. Your NAT type will now say OPEN! I could guess at how this works but the most important thing is it works and its really easy which is awesome lol.
Guess what? It works! It is open! Now to test a party which can't be done till another time because I'm in the middle of feeding and caring for a baby, making bread, scratchings, mince pies and trying to get straight after putting up the yule decs. Try this though and let me know if it works for you too. I hope it does! fingers crossed…

|A pond gives you a source of unlimited fresh water on the ranch that you can use for watering gardens, calming slimes in a corral, defeating tarr, or giving your Puddle Slime a place to hang out and feed.
— Slimepedia
- Can house Puddle Slimes, which will produce Puddle Plorts every 6 in-game hours.
- Provides infinite water.
- Water cannot be used to water Gardens.
- There is a natural pond available in The Docks, however, it shouldn't discourage the use of purchasable ponds, as Puddle Slimes reduce Plort production when there are too many in a pond.
- Before Ponds were updated to be an unlimited source of water, Slimepedia used to mention that the pond's water can be consumed if vac'd or drunk by Puddle Slimes.
- Slimepedia also mentioned that the pond would refill immediately when it rains; this never occurred in-game since there is no weather.
- 1.0.1 - Ponds now produce infinite water.

Erasmus+ : a successful partnership in the hospitality sector [fr]
The French Embassy in Ireland recently launched a new Franco-Irish Network for Hospitality Schools within the Erasmus+ scheme. This network aims at strengthening student exchanges between two countries offering them more opportunities for professional training, internships or apprenticeships.
Elodie is an example of the efficiency of this partnership. A graduate from the Tunon Hospitality School in Bordeaux, she applied for an Erasmus+ grant in order to complete her professional training and gain a valuable experience abroad in an international market.
Elodie was quickly selected by the four star Hospitality Residence « Ariel House » in Dublin. Ariel House benefits from a fantastic location within the city centre of the Irish capital and boasts of great rankings on Trip Advisor (2nd among 172).
Deirdre McDonald, from Ariel House, tutored Elodie during her traineeship and greatly appreciated the quality of Elodie's initial training praising her command of French alongside English as Ariel House benefits a great number of international tourists from the USA and Europe.
Elodie benefitted from a €3,500 grant covering transport, housing and food-related fees for her three months training in Dublin within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme. Part of this funding also went to language training for which Elodie was grateful as it enabled her to both improve her English and discover new teamwork practices in a diverse and multicultural environment.
For Deirdre, the quality of a hotel relies mostly on the qualities of the team, the food and the training they received. These three necessary elements are at the heart of the philosophy of the Franco-Irish Network for Hospitality Schools.
Hundreds of hospitality students from France and Ireland benefit from an experience abroad. The new Erasmus+ programme caters to their need and intends to facilitate movements and exchanges between the two countries. A new Facebook page was recently opened to help potential candidates between France and Ireland : https://www.facebook.com/FICAHT/
