My perspective on the indefinite continued progress of existence.
Roger Waters' lyrics in Pink Floyd's Time contains the most influential four lines of poetry that I have ever heard in my life:
"Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."
There was a point in my life when I was "wasting" precious time, just dealing with life day by day. Then one day I was listening to The Dark Side of the Moon album, which I do from time to time, and inevitably the song Time played. Listening to the lyrics a bit closer than I usually would, I began to reevaluate my life. I looked at my cognitive and personal goals and wondered why I wasn't achieving them.
My biggest fear now became that "one day I would find that ten years had got behind me" and it would be too late to change my life; So, I made the necessary changes to eliminate this fear. Now, a year from that realization, I can honestly tell you I have never been happier and healthier. For me every day is a step closer to completing my goals in life. I'm no longer wasting time.
Time has always fascinated me. Some days we feel we have too much time on our hands, and other days we don't have enough time. My nine year-old sister constantly complains that she is bored. When she does this I say to her "I wish I had the time you have!" She then shrugs at me and finds some computer game to play and is satisfied. After this I always find myself thinking about what I did when I was around her age, and I can't help but feel like I wasted time. For example, playing video games feels like a waste of time for me now, but when I was her age it was of utmost importance. My point is as we grow older our cognitive and personal goals change. Beating a video game just isn't a personal goal I want to achieve now.
I want to do so much in my life, I want to see so many things and learn so much. I just can't find the time! So I slowly work towards my goals. A different approach could be to cut out the other time consuming concerns from your life such as, family, friends, your significant other, etc. In my experience this only causes problems. Even though these people take up a considerable amount of your time, they are an essential part of your happy life. If you just devote your time to yourself you'll soon become lonely, depressed and empty.
On the other hand you also need a considerable amount of alone time. This is when you truly work on your life and your goals. This is when you ask yourself crucial questions for evaluation. Still, one is not complete until they have someone that they can share their alone time thoughts with; Therefore, intellectual relationships are extremely important. Just don't let this person hold you back from completing your goals.
Many days I find myself wishing that I had the free time I once had before my first job and before college life, but instead of dwelling on it (which wastes more time) I continue to move forward. My hope is that having no free time will one day climax, and eventually I will gain more free time again. So, hopefully I don't die soon because I want to do so much more. I pity the poor souls that are "staying home to watch the rain", for time is a valuable thing and should not be wasted.

J. J. Maloney, an award-winning journalist and founder and editor of Crime Magazine, passed away December 31, 1999, at his mother's home in Webster Groves, Mo. He was 59. Read More About JJ Maloney here.

by J. J. Maloney
In 1960 Sharon Kinne was an attractive 20-year-old Jackson County, Mo., housewife with two children, and was having an affair with John Boldizs, a friend from high-school.
Albert Bradford: a/k/a Malik Hakim
The story of Albert Bradford, a talented and charismatic man who went to prison at the age of 17 with three life sentences for rape, transformed himself into an artist of note and a leader of men -- then committed his most heinous crime of all and beat the system.
(Ed. Note: One would think that Albert Bradford would be high up on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, but it never happened – even though he owes the state of Missouri the balance of three life sentences, and is wanted for trial in a crime more shocking and brutal than the ones that earned him those life sentences. It is a strange and fascinating tale of how this man beat the system.)
On March 12, 1951, 17-year-old Albert Bradford entered the courtroom of Judge Harry F. Russell in St. Louis, Missouri. He was charged with two counts of rape and two counts of armed robbery. One of the two women raped by Bradford was white. Bradford might have expected a sentence of five, or even ten years, which at that time would be normal for a teenaged first offender.
When Judge Russell announced a sentence of life imprisonment, Bradford cried out, "Judge, have mercy on me!" while his mother and other female relatives began screaming. During the ensuing melee that broke out, with Bradford's hysterical mother being ordered out of the courtroom, someone split the cheek of deputy constable Venable Slater.
Finally subdued, Bradford was sentenced to a second term of life imprisonment, at which point he cried out, "Oh, god!" and fainted. Bradford was still in a faint when the third life sentence was imposed.
One of the more tragic and fascinating crimes of the mid 20th century was the kidnapping and murder of 6-year-old Bobby Greenlease in 1953, and the subsequent disappearance of half the $600,000 ransom his family futilely paid for his release.

Fresh food, amazing views, mountaintop venues - experience gourmet cuisine in a fine dining atmosphere; have a casual fireside meal with friends; or grab a quick bite on the go. Whistler's extensive selection of award-winning restaurants and chefs offer appetizing fare from different ethnicities and regions, with many of them featuring organic and locally sourced ingredients.
Step inside Whistler's original watering hole and go back in time to a place dripping with legend, lore and finger lickin' BBQ sauce. Located at the base of the Creekside Gondola, Dusty's offers mouthwatering BBQ, arguably the world's best Caesar, a legendary après, party rockin' live shows and is open everyday 11am 'til late. When we say Dusty's is full of legend and lore, we aren't kidding. Dusty's Bar and BBQ was named after Dusty, a stuffed horse that rode into Whistler in 1979 in the back of a pick-up. He was placed in the bar and for almost a decade, watched over the regulars as they partied the nights away. One full moon friday, legend has it a female partier stripped totally naked and jumped on Dusty's back. Dusty bucked into life, burst through the bar doors, shook the shocked nude into a snowbank and galloped off into the night, never to be seen again. The moral of the story? This is a place that will put the Wild back into your West.
More InfoLocated at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler's Upper Village, where the Wizard Chair rises up and the Size Matters Wonder Routes touches down, Merlin's home-away-from-home vibe is just one small part of the reason that après sessions here can be so off-the-hook. Decor inspired by the laidback mountain cabin, Merlin's has cultivated the spirited vibe of an old-school rec room party free of fundepriving chaperones.

Clad In Darkness
Amidst Her Shadows
How many unsigned local bands can actually say that they've set themselves apart from the pack? How many relatively obscure bands do you think come through the doors at MetalReview.com playing a form of melodic black/progressive death metal that literally floors you upon hearing? Not many my friends, not many.
I'll admit the production isn't exactly stellar, but not in that shitty trash can kvlt sense (I can still make out the distinctive instruments and thankfully bassist Chris Shive isn't content simply mimicking the guitars. He actually successfully integrates his own musical ideas within the context), it's just rough around the edges with a severely raw bite to it. I love the fact that their sound isn't as streamlined or compartmentalized as most recordings are to the horrifying point where it loses its natural edge; I can here the passion every member has for their music with each note played on Amidst Her Shadows. Basically I'm just friggin psyched this doesn't sound exactly like everything else.
With the dawning of "Foreward" I realized that Clad in Darkness aren't the type to waste time fucking around, immediately launching into melodic black owing much of its inspiration to Agalloch with its soaring, lugubrious lead lines and somber underlying melodic death metal tendencies. Drummer Brian Rendina showcases his skill and ability to play the right part at the right moment. He constantly moves things forward changing patterns and keeping the music varied, which reminds me of Dark Funeral in the sense that there's really nothing that would be worth doing differently.
The instrumental section that takes up half the time of "Revelries In Silence" speaks volumes for their ability to create meaningful contrast within their music, opening the song with a laid back meandering atmosphere while the last half carries the sense of melodic grandeur further with an epic sense of aggression. The rousing dual harmonies and majestic riffs bring the song to a climactic peak before ending the song on another mellow note drawing everything full circle.
Less soft spoken and reflective than the previous material, "Anamesis" fires off wrathfully with a black metal rage firmly rooted in the tradition of Dissection without treading too terribly on familiar territory. The song rushes forward with a phenomenal intensity that highlights guitarists John Benter and Coy Scottberg's ability to compose compelling riffs with a remarkable built in tension.
Album namesake "Amidst Her Shadows" interjects clean vocals with layered growls that swirl around the listener creating an intense aura of despair while the piercing, tortured screams of Casey Hogan sounds like his friggin life depends on the performance. The song twists through emotional waters while still maintaining their keen recurring sense of progressive aggression never letting the compositions dip into overly timid territory.
The softer sections of Clad in Darkness are an odd blend between the avantgarde stylings of a band like Kayo Dot with the progressive sensibility of Opeth. In some ways I can see how their guitarist Coy's professed appreciation for Lykathea Aflame has rubbed off on him in the sense that their music can still be beautiful and tear you a new one at the same time with their bombast ala their reliance on a layered approach finding itself employing intelligent black metal in the traditional Emperor sense.
Maybe I'm a bit biased in my review since I absolutely love this style and I'm willing to admit that I'm completely caught up in what they're doing musically, but I don't give a damn really. Clad in Darkness have put a lot of thought and consideration into their compositions, and the resulting Amidst Her Shadows EP is an extremely impressive release worth being proud of. Hopefully this serves as only an introduction to a long and successful musical career from this band. I strongly suggest taking the five minutes worth of time and little to no effort to check these guys out and lend them your support. I always find it a damn shame that bands like this aren't signed to a label, The End Records would do well to take note of this one.

Corvette Z07 To Take On The Exotics... Again
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been at the top of the stack in terms of American sports cars, but as Chevrolet sets the bar higher and higher with each new 'Vette, the world is starting to take notice of the car as one of the best... period. No "American" qualifier about it.
Still, eyebrows rose when KGP Photography caught a Chevrolet Z07 (the next all-new, top-of-the-line 'Vette slated for production) testing against a Ferrari 599 -- Chevrolet can't be looking at the Ferrari 599 as the Corvette's competition for real, can it? Maybe, maybe not, but the real juice to this story is the fact that the current standard Corvette (not the high-powered Z06) shares Ferrari's magnetic suspension system, developed by Delphi.
This development is very fitting, particularly since critics occasionally hint that the last big hurdle for the Corvette to clear in dropping the "American" qualifier is the vehicle's handling. Can Chevy/Delphi tune the suspension system to handle the 500+ horsepower the Z07 will offer up? Time will tell, but we're sure many folks out there are looking forward to Ferrari performance in a $100,000 package.

Abstract: Deaf people want to communicate remotely with sign language. Sign language requires sufficient video quality to be intelligible. Internet-based real-time video tools do not provide that quality. Our approach is to use asynchronous transmission to maintain video quality. Unfortunately, this entails a corresponding increase in latency. To reduce latency as much as possible, we sought to adapt a synchronous video codec to an asynchronous video application. First we compared several video codecs with subjective and objective metrics. This paper describes the process by which we chose x264 and integrated it into a Deaf telephony video application, and experimented to configure x264 optimally for the asynchronous environment.

Ma, Zhen Yu; Tucker, William D. (Telkom, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: The South African Deaf community has very limited telephony options. They prefer to communicate in sign language, a visual medium. Realtime video over Internet Protocol is a promising option, but in reality, the quality is often not enough for the Deaf to be able to understand each other's sign language. Furthermore, these applications were not design specifically for the Deaf. This paper introduces an asynchronous video chat system to provide better quality video at the expense of increased latency. It determined a codec/transmission protocol combination in the laboratory environment and tested it out with actual Deaf users. This paper will address the results based on comparison between different codecs, transmission protocol on asynchronous video communication for the Deaf.

Yi, Long; Tucker, William D. (Telkom, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: One way for Deaf people to communicate with hearing people over the telephone is to use a voice relay. The service is often provided with a human relay operator that relays text into voice, and vice versa, on behalf of the Deaf and hearing users. In developed countries, voice relay is frequently subsidised by governments or service providers. There is no such service in South Africa. We have built several automatic voice relay systems for a disadvantaged Deaf community in Cape Town. This paper describes how we augmented a general-purpose communication system for voice relay. Kiara is a fully open source Instant Messaging, voice and video over Internet Protocol communication system based on the Session Initiation Protocol. We integrated automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech technologies into Kiara to provide real-time automatic voice relay for relayed communication. As it stands, Kiara can also be used for standard voice and video relay with a human operator. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/619 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Connecting people across the Digital Divide is as much a social effort as a technological one. We are developing a community-centered approach to learn how interaction techniques can compensate for poor communication across the Digital Divide. We have incorporated the lessons learnt regarding Social Intelligence Design in an (abstract) device called the SoftBridge. The device allows information to flow from endpoints through adapters (getting converted if necessary), and out to destination endpoints. Field trials are underway with two communities in South Africa, disadvantaged deaf users and an isolated rural community. First lessons learned show that we have to design user interfaces that allow users to understand and cope with delay (latency) as a necessary consequence of our approach.

Abstract: This paper describes the design and evaluation of two browser-based video communication prototypes that support sign language communication between Deaf people. The research explores combinations of technologies, protocols and architectures with the hope to eventually provide a mobile video system that Deaf people would want to use enough to pay for. Technology products, and in particular mobile and web-based video communication systems, are designed for the majority of people in general. These are not necessarily suitable for Deaf people who have very different physiological and cultural needs. We focus on browser-based video transmission because end-users need not fiddle with application installation. Web-browsers are also common on mobile phones. This paper compares two prototypes built with Adobe Flex and the fifth version of the HyperText Markup Language, H.264 and H.263 video codecs, and PC and mobile phone implementations. The paper describes the motivation, related work, methods, prototype design and finally analyses results of user experiments conducted with Deaf users.

Abstract: This paper describes work in progress to to provide browser-based sign language communication for deaf users. The paper introduces the communication requirements for a disadvantaged Deaf community in Cape Town, describes related work of generic open source browser-based video and video systems targeted specifically to Deaf users. We posit an experimental design to test if Adobe Flash can help provide an acceptable video system for Deaf users.

Abstract: This paper describes work in progress on call capacity optimization for voice over Internet Protocol on wireless mesh networks. In a developing country such as South Africa, evidence has shown that rural inhabitants find it difficult to afford the voice services offered by cellular networks. Voice over Internet Protocol is known for its affordability relative to cellular voice services, therefore deploying such services for rural communities will not only benefit rural inhabitants but also offer economic advantages to service providers. We are interested in the provision of voice services with rural wireless mesh networks. Unfortunately voice on mesh networks can experience packet loss and delays that cause reduction in voice quality. Transmission of small voice packets over wireless mesh networks imposes high overhead that leads to a tremendous decrease in call capacity. Therefore, we aim to study the performance of voice over 802.11 wireless mesh networks and evaluate packet aggregation mechanisms that merge small voice packets into a single large packet, in order to preserve voice quality with more calls. We will implement and evaluate packet aggregations mechanisms on a 'mesh potato' network with iterative cycles of laboratory experiments using a network simulator to collect data for performance evaluation.

Mutemwa, Muyowa; Tucker, William D.; Norman, Michael (Telkom, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper discusses how an Instant Messaging application on a computer can use Bluetooth in order to provide vibration notification on a mobile phone. The initial motivation was to aid Deaf1 office workers to know when events happened on the computer on their desks. Deaf people with access to modern technology have become accustomed to using Instant Messaging, email and video conferencing. However, most of these applications are designed for hearing users and often use audible notification. Cell phone vibration offers a way to convey similar notifications because many Deaf users have a cell phone. The use of SMS has also become widespread among Deaf users because they cannot hear or speak, even though they might be somewhat text illiterate. Vibration notification in addition to aural notification is common on most cell phones and Deaf users can use the former. This paper describes a Bluetooth notification system to notify a Deaf user with vibration on a cell phone whenever a new Instant Message is received on a given computer. A design goal was to provide an application programming interface to the notification system so that it can be used with any form of Web 2.0 desktop communication tool.

Abstract: We describe designing an asynchronous, oral repository and sharing system that we intend to suit the needs and practices of rural residents in South Africa. We aim to enable users without access to personal computers to record, store, and share information within their Xhosa community using cellphones and a tablet PC combined with their existing face-to-face oral practices. Our approach recognises that systems are more likely to be effective if the design concept and process build on existing local communication practices as well as addressing local constraints, e.g. cost. Thus, we show how the objectives for the system emerged from prolonged research locally and how we communicated insights, situated in the community, into the process of design and development in a city-based lab. We discuss how we integrated understandings about communication between situated- and localresearchers and designers and developers and note the importance of recognising and centralising subtle differences in our perception of acts of oral communication. We go on to show how the materiality of the software, the tablet form factor, and touch interaction style played into our collaborative effort in conceiving the design.

Abstract: The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer skills and technological capabilities. The bits of this space that one can 'see' are determined by one's knowledge of the user needs and one's own skills. Co-design is a way of exploring that space in a way that alleviates the myopia of one's own viewpoint and bias. As one traverses this space one traces a trajectory according to one's skills and learning and according to the users' expressed requirements and their learning.

Abstract: The digital divide between rural and urban areas within developing countries is vast. We investigate how to address this divide by introducing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into remote rural areas. Our aim is to discover how to create locally relevant software applications with appropriate content for these areas. We use a user centred design approach and a modified software development lifecycle that is participatory, iterative and cyclical. This process is based on principles from Participatory Design and Action Research. This paper presents our initial experience of developing a telemedicine application for a rural village in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa using this process. We present an overview of the methodology, describe the software application we have developed and cite several challenges we have faced. Finally we conclude that an inter-organisational and inter-disciplinary approach is needed to develop software for remote areas. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/532 Files in this item: 1

Hersh, Marion A.; Tucker, William D. (Elsevier, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: There are a number of pressures on researchers in academia and industry to behave unethically or compromise their ethical standards, for instance in order to obtain funding or publish frequently. In this paper a case study of Deaf telephony is used to discuss the pressures to unethical behaviour in terms of withholding information or misleading participants that can result from mono-disciplinary orthodoxies. The Deaf telephony system attempts to automate multiple aspects of relayed communication between Deaf and hearing users. The study is analysed in terms of consequentialist and deontological ethics, as well as multi-loop action learning. Discussion of a number of examples of bad practice is used to indicate both the compatibility of ethical behaviour and good scientific method and that ethical behaviour is a pre-requisite for obtaining meaningful results.

Abstract: Developing ICT software that is useful and usable in a rural context poses many problems. One of the major difficulties is understanding the real needs of the target users and the constraints imposed by the rural environment. Many techniques exist in the field of human computer interaction (HCI) that attempt to understand the needs of the target user but many are not useful in a rural context (or a least not when applied in a standard way). This paper presents some existing HCI research techniques that are applicable in a rural context and shows how they fit into the Bridges.org 'Real Access' framework.

Abstract: The DEV community knows that technology interventions involve consideration of social and environmental factors as much as technical ones. This is particularly true for the introduction of communications infrastructure in rural im- poverished areas. Research into WiFi solutions has fallen o as ubiquitous mobile solutions penetrate even the deepest rural communities worldwide. This paper argues that mo- bile penetration su ers from two signi cant problems such that the latest wave of WiFi mesh networks o ers bene- ts that traditional top-down WiFi, and mobile, networks do not. In addition, we propose ethnographic and partici- patory methods to aid the e ective rollout of mesh inverse infrastructure with and for a given community. This paper describes and then analyzes a mesh for voice rollout within a situated context. We explain how to conduct informed com- munity co-design and how to factor in local socio-political concerns that can strongly impact on the design, rollout and subsequent maintenance of community-based wireless mesh networks. While we have not yet analyzed baseline and ini- tial usage data, as the mesh rollout is still very fresh, we do have new lessons to o er the DEV community that we have learned while establishing this baseline study.

Abstract: This paper shows that mobility management protocols for infrastructure Internet may be used in a wireless mesh network environment. Mesh topology tends to be an unplanned graph and routes change dynamically and in this research Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 are successfully implemented in a wireless mesh network environment. Horizontal handover simulation with ns2 involved Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 applied to wireless mesh networks. Mobile IPv6 was used as a baseline to compare the performance of the two protocols. The results show that in mesh networks, Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6's performance is superior to Mobile IPv6. Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 generates more throughput and less delay than Mobile IPv6. Furthermore, Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 drops fewer data packets than Mobile IPv6. Even though MIPv6 and its extensions are for infrastructure networks, they can be used effectively in mesh networks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/424 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism for a hybrid communication tool that allows conventional text and audio users to communicate with one another using a common interface. Research on floor control mechanisms provides many implementations for arbitration that are application-specific. Myers proposes a categorical explanation of the most widely used mechanisms for providing floor control and discusses these different dimensions with respect to a project called Pebbles. We have chosen to model our arbitration policies along these categories. The application will be implemented as a Java applet and gives users a view of both the text and audio aspects of the exchange. To facilitate the multi-modality of the system we will provide media conversion, using the Nuance system's Java API. Our hypothesis is that well–known multi-tasking arbitration protocols such as FCFS, Round Robin, Token – based, and many more can be adapted to create a conferencing floor control policy for the interface of a hybrid communication environment so as to facilitate free–flowing multi-modal conversation. Measurements to determine which floor control implementation provides the best arbitration in terms of user interaction with the system will be calculated using RPT, ORT and usage tests based on the Kirkpatrick Model. We hope to show that users benefit more from an implicit arbitration mechanism than they do from an explicit one. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/538 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Grafting an ATM network onto an existing Ethernet network is a non-trivial exercise in network configuration. The process of mating ATM technology to an Ethernet network without tampering the underlying backbone and network configuration gives rise to a variety of networking issues including addressing, compatibility, security, efficiency, administrative effort, and scalability. Examples of actual situations serve to illustrate these issues. We have designed several scenarios to tackle the topological problems of an ATM graft. A dual IP approach works but suffers from a lack of scalability. We expect an edge routing solution, with subnetting, will be the most elegant and scalable.

Abstract: This research aims to find an empirical solution for guaranteeing the delivery of synchronous and asynchronous messages within a semi-synchronous IP-based communication domain. The communication infrastructure that is needed between the Deaf and hearing communities forms the application domain within which the research is situated. SoftBridging is a framework for multi-modal bridging as well as multiuser, multi-modal conversation sessions. An implementation of this concept called SoftBridge, is a communication platform that allows a hearing and Deaf person to communicate inside a single uniform space. The system is based on an asynchronous transport mechanism that makes use of various web services to do the actual data conversions such as voice to text and text to voice. Publish-subscribe systems are an emerging paradigm for building a range of distributed applications. The architecture of publish-subscribe systems make use of Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) to guarantee reliable delivery of messages within a communication domain. We will choose one of these systems and incorporate it within the overall architecture of a SoftBridge system. We will modify the existing architecture of a SoftBridge system to reliably transport synchronous as well as asynchronous data over a synchronous established session. We will use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish a synchronous session between various users and a SoftBridge system. The system will then be used as a basis for developing a Deaf telephony application that guarantees the delivery of messages no matter the synchrony.

Cuomo: Storm Brings 'New Reality'
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday called Hurricane Sandy "truly frightening."
He then went on to say New York residents should brace themselves for more of the same.
In an interview with Albany radio station Talk 1300-AM, Cuomo said "We have a 100-year flood every two years now."
Cuomo added, "There has been a series of extreme weather incidents. That is not a political statement, that is a factual statement. Anyone who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns, I think is denying reality."
The governor also said the flooding on the south shore of Nassau and Suffolk counties was as bad as anything he had seen in New York.
Recovery costs along the eastern seaboard are expected to be record setting - perhaps as much as $20 billion - and Cuomo said he spoke to President Obama twice to request federal assistance. In a press conference this afternoon, the president said federal funds will be made available to New York, New Jersey and other impacted areas.
Hurricane Sandy's trail of destruction on Long Island was sweeping. A man in Lloyd Harbor was killed when a tree fell on him. Meanwhile, floods consumed waterfront communities throughout Long Island.

Thank you, governor. We need to overwhelm the lunatic fringe and puppets of oil and coal companies with the truth. Denying climate change after storms like this is like denying the earth is round.

Thank you, Gov. Cuomo...this IS our "new" reality...weather conditions will only continue to defy our definition of the "norm"...we need to acknowledge this trend and rise to meet it so we aren't left befuddled and in the dark as to how we need proceed. I don't believe fear is the necessary component.( sorry Fox 5 news)...
I do believe valid, authentic information is.
October 31, 2012 at 03:45 AM
Cuomo will always be a jerk and a true liberal trying to sell global warming
now known as climate change. Sorry but it is a hoax and a money maker for many (just ask Al Gore).

All of you people who have commented, and those that will comment, should read the Holy Bible and note these days that have come to past. For those who will ask "where" or say "show me", I leave it to you to search. If I tell you where to look, you will go directly there and learn nothing, but if you are in search of answers, you'll find more than you are looking for, while searching multiple books of the Holy Bible.

Food: Eleven Delicious Party Snacks
Written by Pip Lincolne
Be Happy
5 Comments
It's the weekend! Yay! Is it time for an impromptu gathering at your place? I'm totally into the impromptu, because sometimes the planned has a funny way of getting overwhelming. The impromptu party is all about ringing you friends up and saying 'I made food! Do you want to come around? The house is a bit messy, but I'd love to hang out with you!'
Does this sound good to you? I think your friends will like it too, because they can just throw on their sneakers and roll around. There's no pomp and circumstance. It's impromptu, informal and that means it's a bit more relaxed than the usual planned affair.
And now to the food, if you are not sure what to make, here's eleven great suggestions. I am quite partial to a sausage roll, myself, but there are a ton of other idea here too (in case you are not the rolly kind!) Let's have a party, 'kay?!
Do you prefer impromptu or planned get-togethers, JustBees?
x Pip
