Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search
It was only a few years ago that I was giving presentations on Internet research and asking, "How many of you are using Google? Two? Three? Well, you should all be using this terrific search engine -- it's the best way to find information on the Internet." Back then, it was true -- search engines like Google and Yahoo! were the go-to services for your legal research. While they remain extremely valuable, and maintain an important place in a researcher's toolkit, Web search tools have become more numerous, varied, and focused on specific topics, content, and even locations. This makes it both easier and more difficult to make the right decision in choosing search-related services and applications. In this article, I'll review and recommend services, strategies, and resources to help you locate the information you want and need, in less time and using a more precise process.
Articles and Periodical Literature. We often want to obtain copies of articles of which
we have been told, heard about, or seen referenced in other sources that are specific to our requirements. Using one of several sites that allow users to query large databases of articles and periodical literature is often the path of least resistance to this information. I recommend that you try all of the following sites, each of which offer field searching to limit requests by date, author, subject, phrase, and publication. • • • FindArticles (http://www.findarticles.com) HighBeam (http://www.highbeam.com) MagPortal (http://www.magportal.com)
Bilingual Search – Babelplex (http://www.babelplex.com) is a nifty tool that takes your
search and translates it into eight different languages – you get a split screen of Google results, with English results on the left and your translated results on the right.
Blog Search. The "blogosphere" is now considered to be a fantastic source of information, and can often be as (or more) up-to-date on breaking news as some of the news sites mentioned in this article. There are also tools available to search RSS feeds, or to create RSS feeds that literally "deliver" the research to you. Here are a few of our favorites:
• Blogdigger (http://www.blogdigger.com) – you can create an RSS feed to monitor your searches here.

• • • • • • • • • • •
Blogstreet (http://www.blogstreet.com) Daypop (http://www.daypop.com) Fagan Finder Weblogs & RSS Search (http://www.faganfinder.com/blogs) Feedster (http://www.feedster.com) – news, blogs, and podcasts Google Blog Search (http://blogsearch.google.com) Gigablast (http://blogs.gigablast.com) – currently indexing over 10 billion pages. NewsTrove (http://www.newstrove.com) – filtered news from reliable sources PubSub (http://www.pubsub.com) – create RSS feeds on the topics of your choice. RocketNews (http://www.rocketnews.com) – billed as the "RSS Search Company." Technorati (http://www.technorati.com) – currently monitoring over 28 million weblogs. Yahoo Blog Search – Yahoo's product doesn't have its own page; interestingly, it's included in a box as part of the Yahoo News search results. Arguably, this is where blog search results should be.
Business Publications -- BPubs.com (http://www.bpubs.com) is a search engine for
business publications. You can browse categories ranging from Economics to SOHO and Small Business, or search this collection of articles and publications. Another interesting search tool is SMEALSearch (http://smealsearch2.psu.edu), from the Smeal College of Business at Penn State University. It focuses entirely on academic business documents, and crawls websites of academia, commerce, research institutes, and government agencies for relevant documents.
Copyright Search – want to see if someone is copying your firm web site? Just plug your URL into Copyscape (http://www.copyscape.com), and it will search for instances of copyright infringement on the Web. If instead you want to search the entire Copyright Law of the U.S., you might try the askSam Searchable e-Book (http://www.asksam.com/ebooks/Copyright/). In fact, there are a number of free, searchable databases of legal opinions and various legal documents at the AskSam (http://www.asksam.com/ebooks) site.

Directories. These sites have professionally indexed, reviewed and annotated content:
• • CEOExpress (http://www.ceoexpress.com) Infomine (http://www.infomine.com) -- a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information. Internet Public Library (http://www.ipl.org) – The IPL's own collections of over 40,000 Internet resources, handpicked, organized and described by librarians and library students. Librarians' Index to the Internet (http://lii.org) -- From the Library of California, the site's motto is "Information You Can Trust." A directory of "Internet resources selected and evaluated by librarians for their usefulness to users of public libraries." SOSIG (Social Science Information Gateway) (http://www.sosig.ac.uk/) -- Your "Guide to the Best of the Web for Social Science." The service aims to provide a trusted source of selected, high quality Internet information for researchers and practitioners in the social sciences, business, and law. Wall Street Executive Library (http://www.executivelibrary.com)
Discussion Search. Often, valuable information is found in the discussions that take place on
the thousands of messages boards scattered across the Internet. Omgili (http://omgili.com) purports to search these spaces, and bring back results solely from Web-based discussion forums.
Foreign/International Search Tools. Here are a few tools that will help you find news
and information from around the world. • • • BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk) – content is organized by topic and provides related RSS feeds. Financial Times (http://www.ft.com) – free and fee-based services; RSS feeds and email updates available. MSN Newsbot UK (http://uk.newsbot.msn.com)
Government Search. There are a number of good tools that will search only government
sites for you – this is a great way to focus your government research.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 4
Clusty Government Search (http://gov.clusty.com) – Clusty is putting its terrific clustering technology (see Meta-Search Tools, below) to work for government sites. It organizes your search results into folders that make it easy to find more specific information. FirstGovSearch (http://firstgovsearch.gov) – a companion to the FirstGov government directory, this site indexes over 40 million federal, state, tribal, and territorial government resources. It uses MSN for its search results, but also uses Vivisimo (which powers the Clusty tool, above) to provide clustered results in a sidebar. Gigablast Government Search (http://gov.gigablast.com) – currently indexing more than 34 million state and federal government pages.
In addition to search engines, I recommend the following sites for accessing current government information and Congressional proceedings. • • • • • • CapitolHearings.org (http://www.capitolhearings.org) CQ Politics (http://www.cqpolitics.com) C-Span (http://www.cspan.org) – offers searchable database of audio and video streams from the online library, as well as podcasts. GovTrack (http://www.govtrack.us) – offers e-mail updates and RSS feeds Thomas (http://thomas.loc.gov) USCongress.com (http://www.uscongress.com)
Health and Science – the number of health and science search tools have increased
dramatically over the past year or so. Sites like these can be invaluable to the legal researcher, who often needs to find medical or science-related information. • Entrez, Life Sciences Search Engine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery) – a service of the National Institutes of Health, this is a terrific cross-database search page. It will take your search query and look in PubMed, genome, protein, and nucleotide databases, cancer libraries, chemical databases, and much more. Healthline (http://www.healthline.com) – a relatively new health search engine. This site is interesting because it offers links to broaden or narrow your search, and its HealthMaps feature provides a neat map of particular medical conditions, with links to symptoms, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and related items.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 5
Ojose (http://www.ojose.com) – this is short for Online Journals Search Engine, "where science meets the web." Like Entrez, this tool allows you to search across more than 60 different databases for scientific publications (journals, articles, research reports, books, etc.) from one search box. OmniMedicalSearch (http://www.omnimedicalsearch.com) – actually a meta-search tool, with this site you can search up to 16+ different medical search engines. You can also run searches on medical news and images. Public Library of Science (http://www.plos.org) -- advocates the free distribution of science and medical published articles. Scirus (http://www.scirus.com) – this site has been around for a long time, and it's still one of the best science search engines around. It searches over 200 million sciencespecific web pages.
• •
Job Search – Indeed (http://www.indeed.com) is a great new search engine that aggregates job search results from job sites, newspapers, associates, and company career pages. It's posting nearly a million new jobs every week. Meta-Search Tools – meta-search sites have been around for some time. They have
advantages and disadvantages over regular search engines. The main advantage is of a metasearch tool is that it searches across multiple search engines, and brings back the best of all of them – you don't have to enter your query at each individual search engine. The primary disadvantage of such tools is that you cannot take advantage of the advanced search features of the individual search engines; you pretty much have to accept the results you get. Here are some of the newest meta-search tools to check out: • Clusty (http://clusty.com) – Clusty isn't really new, but it's still Tom's favorite metasearch tool. Clusty takes your search results and places them in cluster-like folders, to make it easy for you to quickly narrow your search. PreviewSeek (http://www.previewseek.com) – billing itself as "the world's most advanced search engine," PreviewSeek is really a meta-search tool. It aggregates results much like Clusty, with folders that allow you to further refine your query. Some searches will return a green box with a brief encyclopedia-like description of the term, with links to searches on related terms. TurboScout (http://www.turboscout.com) – this is more of a search aggregator; once you enter your search terms, you can use one of dozens of search engines directly from this site. Instead of hopping from engine to engine, just click on a new engine, and you'll get the results from that particular site.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 6
whonu.com (http://www.whonu.com) – not a search engine, but a tool for maximizing the power of existing search engines. What whonu does very well is help create advanced queries for you, at hundreds of different search sites.
If some of these new ones don't grab you, try one of these tried-and-true meta-search tools: • • • • • • • • • Dogpile (http://www.dogpile.com) Excite (http://www.excite.com) IceRocket (http://www.icerocket.com) Ixquick (http://www.ixquick.com) MetaCrawler (http://www.metacrawler.com) ProFusion (http://www.profusion.com) SurfWax (http://www.surfwax.com) Web's Biggest (http://www.websbiggest.com) Vivisimo (http://www.vivisimo.com)
Mobile Search – the ability to search from your mobile device is getting a lot more attention lately, and Google and Yahoo both have pretty nice mobile search offerings (see below). An intriguing alternative is Gada.be (http://gada.be), where your search query is the URL. Just type http://searchterms.gada.be, and the page that returns contains the results for your query. News Search. Using Google to search for information on the latest news is no good, because
the search engine doesn't update its links fast enough. Instead, you need a news search service that provides access to stories minutes after they are posted on the web. Some of our favorite news search providers include:
• •
All Headline News (http://www.allheadlinenews.com) Findory (http://www.findory.com) -- this site is interesting in that it tries to "learn" about the news you want to find. As you click on new stories, Findory learns more about your interests, and suggests news stories based on your reading history. Google News (http://news.google.com) -- one of the first, and still a great site. Searches over 4,500 news sources. You can also set up alerts to notify you by e-mail when new stories appear on your subject of interest.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 7
Inform.com (http://www.inform.com) – Inform allows you to create customized "Discovery Paths" for just about any topic imaginable, and you can save your searches for future review. Jurist (http://jurist.law.pitt.edu) – annotated, reliable links to current legal news and documents. MarketWatch.com (http://www.marketwatch.com) Market Wire (http://www.marketwire.com) Moreover (http://w.moreover.com/categories/category_list.html) – choose to obtain updates from a range of pre-built topical categories. News Search Portal (http://www.nieuwsbronnen.com/newssearchportal) Newsvine (http://www.newsvine.com) – a brand-new site, and as of this writing available only by invitation. You can use Newsvine just to read the news – there are thousands of stories from the AP, ESPN, and other sources. You can also keep track of all your searches by setting up RSS feeds for them. Newsvine also allows its users to write their own news columns, comment on the news, and "seed" the content with news from other sites. NPR News (http://www.npr.org) PR Newswire (http://www.prnewswire.com) Topix (http://www.topix.net) -- one of the great newcomers, Topix offers news on "360,000 Topix." Each news topic features its own RSS feed, so you can follow the latest news without returning to the site. Wall Street Journal Free Features (http://online.wsj.com/public/page/2_0323.html) – review daily for a range of articles chosen from the fee-based subscription portion of the paper. Yahoo News (http://news.yahoo.com) -- this is still the most popular news site on the Internet, in terms of traffic. In addition to e-mail alerts, you can also sign up to receive notification by RSS when new stories are published.

To compare the features of the new "Web 2.0" news search sites mentioned above (and others), check out the chart at TinFinger (http://snipurl.com/mpdb).
People Finders. Although these two sites aren't free, they are terrific at finding people and
companies, and lots of detailed information about them. Be sure to use them in combination with other free and fee-based sources.

Podcast Search Engines. Podcasting is quickly becoming a great source of valuable
information to lawyers and other legal researchers. Unfortunately, the tools available to search these audio files are not as sophisticated as we would like. But they're getting there. Here are two for you to consider: • Podscope (http://www.podscope.com) – Podscope listens to podcasts and indexes the words found in them. You can listen to a snippet of the recording in your search results, visit the site where the audio resides, and even subscribe to an RSS feed that will alert you when other podcasts are recorded with those particular search terms. Podzinger (http://www.podzinger.com) – in my opinion the best of the podcast search tools. Podzinger users voice recognition technology to transcribe each podcast, so you can go directly to the point in a podcast where your search terms are spoken.
Public Records Search – searching for public records is not an easy process, because the
actual records generally reside in a database that is often hidden from traditional search engines. Pretrieve (http://www.pretrieve.com) can't retrieve the actual documents for you, but it can get you pretty close. Just run a search on a person, place, or address, and you'll get listings to public record sites. When you click to a site, Pretrieve will take you to that search page, and many times will actually perform the search for you. Another great public records site is Search Systems (http://www.searchsystems.net), which provides access to over 35,591 searchable public records databases, most of them free.
RSS Search. Many sites now utilize RSS feeds to distribute information, so users don't have
to visit the site every day to find information. These RSS feeds can also be searched, and ScoopGo (http://www.scoopgo.com) is a tool that helps you do that. With ScoopGo you can create your own "Scoops" that will search through the RSS feeds you choose. For example, you can create a "News Scoop" with RSS feeds from CNN, Reuters, the BBC, or other news sources that have RSS feeds. Then you can use your Scoop to search these aggregated feeds all at once.
Search Engines with Interesting Features
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007

Brainboost (http://www.brainboost.com) – go ahead, just ask Brainboost a question, like "what's the prime interest rate?" This site is interested in answering your question, so you shouldn't see a search result that doesn't feature an answer. Exalead (http://www.exalead.com) – this fantastic search engine from France has some great features; one of our favorites is the information on the left menu bar of your search results. You can narrow your search by Related Terms, Related Categories, Location of Website, Document Type, and Document Language, among others. Factbites (http://www.factbites.com) – listed as the place "where results make sense," Factbites' aim is to provide search results to you in context, so you can see exactly how your search terms appear on the results page. The search results are geared to offer meaningful, relevant sentences from every site in the search results. JetEye (http://www.jeteye.com) – as search engines go, JetEye is not all that special. However, you can take your search results and package them up in a "Jetpak" that you can then e-mail to others. Even better, these Jetpaks are themselves searchable, meaning you can keep coming back to them to mine additional information. Rollyo (http://www.rollyo.com) – Rollyo is not exactly a search engine, but it's one of the most remarkable sites mentioned in this article. At Rollyo, you can "roll your own search." You can specify up to 25 separate web sites that make up your own personal search engine; then you can search those sites and those sites only. If you have a certain number of regular sites that you visit for information, this is a terrific way to regularly search them all at once.
Vertical Search Tools -- LookSmart recently debuted a new vertical search feature
(http://search.looksmart.com) that allows you to customize search results and content, by topic. There are 161 search engines here, in topics such as Autos, Cities, Education, Health, Money, Tech and Games, and Travel.
Video Search – as more and more video comes online, tools to search video content are slowly developing. As you might imagine, both Google and Yahoo have their own video search tools; here are some others to check out.
• • BlinxTV (http://www.blinx.tv) – search over 1,000,000 hours of television and video here. Truveo (http://www.truveo.com) – now a part of AOL, you can search or browse for video items.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007

Web Site Trackers. It's hard to keep up with all the new information that shows up on the
web sites you follow. If a particular web site doesn't provide e-mail or RSS alerts, maybe using a web site tracker will help. These tools alert you when there are specific changes to web pages with content of interest to you. Use one or more to supplement your ongoing research projects. • • • • • Change Detection (http://www.changedetection.com) Copernic Agent (http://www.copernic.com) TracerLock (http://www.tracerlock.com) Web2Mail (http://www.web2mail.com) Web Site Watcher (http://aignes.com)
Advanced Searching Using Google and Yahoo
All right, so I couldn't get through this entire article without mentioning Google or Yahoo. There's no question that they offer some terrific services for finding information on the Internet; indeed, there's always a sense of one-upsmanship going on between the two competitors. Their competition is all the better for us researchers. Here are some of the best features of both Google and Yahoo, some of which you may not know about:
Advanced Search. Both Google (http://www.google.com/advanced_search) and Yahoo! (http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/web/advanced?ei=UTF-8) offer "Advanced Search" pages, which allow you to construct detailed, intricate searches designed to produce focused results. These pages let you restrict your search to particular words or phrases, specific domains, file formats, countries, date ranges, and even content. If you don't feel like using the Advanced features, there are Google Cheat Sheets (http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html and http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html) to help you formulate your queries. Alerts (Google, Yahoo!) – Google (http://www.google.com/alerts) will send you an email whenever your search terms appear in its search engine or news search. Yahoo! (http://alerts.yahoo.com) offers even more options for alert services. Book Search (http://books.google.com) – Google's new book search is somewhat controversial, but very helpful; you can search the full text of books that Google has digitized and placed online. Shortcuts. Google (http://www.google.com/help/features.html) and Yahoo (http://tools.search.yahoo.com/shortcuts/) both offer dozens of handy shortcuts that provide nearly instant information on a range of categories. Here are some of them:
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 11
Area Code (Google, Yahoo!) – just typing in an area code will show you where it's located. Calculator (Google, Yahoo!) – good for simple calculations. Currency Conversion (Google, Yahoo!) – easily converts any unit of currency. Definitions (Google, Yahoo!) – just type define and a word, and you'll get a dictionary definition. Encyclopedia (Yahoo!) – type facts and the topic you're searching for a Columbia Encyclopedia entry. Flight Tracker (Google, Yahoo!) – typing in the airline and flight number will take you to links that allow you to track the flight. Gas Prices (Yahoo!) – find prices in your area by typing gas and your zip code. Hotels (Yahoo!) – hotels and any location will show reviews and locations for recommended hotels. ISBN Numbers (Yahoo!) – to find the best price on any book, just enter the ISBN number. Package Tracking (Google, Yahoo!) – enter the tracking number for any UPS, FedEx, or USPS package to retrieve the tracking history. Patents (Yahoo!) – entering patent and the patent number will retrieve detailed information on that patent. Phone Book (Google) – just type in the name and location of a person, and you'll receive their address and phone number, if available. Sports Scores (Yahoo!) – just enter your favorite pro team and scores for scores from recent games. Stock Quotes (Google, Yahoo!) – the stock ticker symbol will retrieve recent results for that company. Traffic Reports (Yahoo!) – enter traffic and the city for a link to current traffic conditions. UPC Codes (Google, Yahoo!) – to find detailed product information, just enter its UPC code. VIN Information (Google, Yahoo!) – entering the vehicle identification number will take you to a site that allows you to check that car's history.

Weather (Google, Yahoo!) – weather and the city or zip code will provide current conditions for the area. Zip Code (Google, Yahoo!) – in Google, typing in a zip code will take you to a map of the area. In Yahoo! it will take you to the city guide for that zip code.
Local Search – local search is hot these days; the ability to find information that's close to home is becoming increasingly important. Both Google (http://local.google.com) and Yahoo! (http://local.yahoo.com) have excellent local search tools. Maps – until recently, Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) was the mapping site to beat. Recently, Yahoo! launched a new version of its map service (http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/index.php). Google has gone one step further with its Google Earth (http://earth.google.com) software; this free, downloadable program is very powerful, and has great applications for lawyers who need to demonstrate map locations at a hearing or at trial. Mobile Search – Google (http://mobile.google.com) offers two types of mobile search. One is to just go to http://www.google.com in your phone's web browser. If you don't want to deal with surfing the Internet, then just send your search query as a text message to 46645 (GOOGL); in a few seconds your search results will appear as a reply text message. Yahoo (http://mobile.yahoo.com) has similar services, but the text message number is 92466 (YAHOO). Translation (http://www.google.com/translate_t) -- Google will translate any web page for you, as long as it's in Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese. Help! Both Google and Yahoo! offer so many features, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Fortunately, they also both offer a terrific help sections (http://www.google.com/support and http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/). These pages will help you understand your search results, and how to better use the search engine. Personalized Search (http://www.google.com/psearch) – when you are signed in to your Google account, Google keeps track of all your searches, and then orders your search results based on what you've searched for in the past. Yahoo's My Web (http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com) offers the same type of personalization. Side-by-Side Search – there are a number of sites that allow you to compare the results between Google and Yahoo, and Twingine (http://twingine.com) is one of those sites. Just plug in your search terms, and you'll receive a split-screen layout of your results in both Google/Yahoo. Video Search – at Google (http://video.google.com) – you can search for thousands of videos, and download movies and television shows for a small fee. Yahoo (http://video.search.yahoo.com) has a video search service, too.
Beyond Google and Yahoo: Advanced Search January 25, 2007
Page 13
Yahoo Creative Commons Search (http://search.yahoo.com/cc) – restricts your search to pages that have been licensed by Creative Commons. Yahoo Open Shortcuts (http://shortcuts.search.yahoo.com/) – use custom keywords to create your own searches, or start tasks from within Yahoo. Yahoo Subscription Search (http://search.yahoo.com/subscriptions) – search content from Consumer Reports, Factiva, LexisNexis, the New England Journal of Medicine, and other premium resources. You'll ultimately have to pay to access the content.
Toolbars. Do you use a search engine toolbar to more efficiently access your favorite search
engine? If not, what are you waiting for? Toolbars save you tons of time in getting to your search results, and most of them have additional useful features. Here are our favorites, and some new offerings: • • • • Yahoo Toolbar (http://toolbar.yahoo.com) – offers a spyware blocker, access to your Yahoo mail, and many other great features. Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com) – offers many of the same great features as the Google web site, but in a toolbar. Exalead (http://corporate.exalead.com/enterprise/l=en?p=utiliser) LexisNexis (http://www.lexisnexis.com/toolbar) -- note: this is for those who already have a subscription to the LexisNexis service.

PORTLAND, Ore. — LaMarcus Aldridge had 19 points and 17 rebounds, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Pistons 100-78 on Tuesday night, ending Detroit's modest two-game winning streak.
Nicolas Batum added 17 points for the Blazers, who led by as many as 25 points.
Portland's three-time All-Star Brandon Roy raised eyebrows when he left for an extended period in the first half and iced his right leg. The Blazers were plagued by injuries last season and are still without centers Joel Przybilla and Greg Oden.
The Pistons, who opened the season with five straight losses before winning their last two, were led by Rodney Stuckey with 17 points.

I Had a Decision to Make this Morning
Saturday, September 10, 2011
And I'm very proud that I made the right one! I've spent the entire work-week scratching and clawing my way back on track, and I managed to lose about 3 lbs and FINALLY start seeing an improvement in my uniform fit. Then came the weekend. My weekends have been abysmal for the last month, and more than anything else the crappy weekend choices I've been making have led to my recent weight gain. I made a plan for the weekend- which involved going for a looooong walk today followed by some studying/football/out-to-eat-w
th-hubby stuff. The plan did not involve sitting on the couch eating chocolate. I really wanted to get back on track with my eating and try to avoid all snacking actually. So there I was this morning, tired, bleary-eyed, and a teensy bit hungover from too much wine last night. I stood in the kitchen in front of the bowl of Hershey's kisses and at 9 in the morning I almost popped one in my mouth without thinking. And then the entire day passed before my eyes- and it involved me on the couch, surrounded by foil Kisses wrappers, then a 5 Guys burger and fries for lunch while hubby was out for a run, then maybe hummus and pita chips or cheese and crakcers. Then lots and lots of self-loathing. Then, back to work on Monday to find my uniform tight again, but this time it's not just uncomfortable, it's actually unwearable and I have to buy a bigger size. That's the future I would have faced with that one tiny Kiss this morning.
So I didn't do it. I shook myself out of it, laced up my shoes before I had time to talk myself out of it. 5 hours later, after a walk on this beautiful, clear day, I feel amazing. That self-loathing that I would have faced after a day on the couch eating wasn't there, instead it's replaced by motivation to continue to eat well and make good choices, and the confidence that I can do this again. I had a great, healthy lunch, and now I'm ready to go to dinner and make good choices. I have to keep it up tomorrow and not venture down the "chocolate-on-the-couch" path again tomorrow- especially since I WILL be on the couch watching football (and studying), but after making the right choice this morning, I know it'll be that much easier to make the same choice tomorrow. Whew, what a relief.

I like the idea of a morning walk on the weekends! I could load up my daughter in the stroller and my son could don his helmet and ride his bike. Great idea! Love it. Then we could come home and attempt to make a kid-friendly, healthy breakfast... does such a thing exist??
And I know walking first thing will get me energized enough to do some much needed housework before flopping down onto the couch in front of my laptop tuned to Facebook or a card game/online jigsaw puzzle.
I think you may have helped me to transform my weekends! Thanks so much!

I'm so glad you realized what you were doing before you made a mindless decision that would send you down the road to "chocolated on the couch." I too often make bad decisions without thinking and then feel bad later. Good job!!!!!

The Staff of Naughtby Tom Liberman
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Tanner Wilmer is a simple merchant who works the trade route along the Old Mountain Road that runs along the Thilnog Mountains and separates the City of Spiders from the Hobgoblin lands beyond. When Tanner's energetic son notes skeletons by the hundreds plunging into the sea near an old shipwreck it sets in motion a series of events that brings the powerful High Priest of the City in the Sand to the region. Seymour the Bright, and his seemingly all powerful Amulet of Ras, race towards Doria along with the stoic warrior Oliver to recover an ancient relic before Tanner and his allies can get it first.
Tanner and his family, along with the town witch, a pair of young urchins, his beautiful half-elf mistress, and the swordsman Shamki try to find out what lies below.
Finding the terrible Staff of Naught only begins the quest. Everyone has their own plans for the Staff and Tanner and his friends quickly find themselves in a far more dangerous situation than they ever imagined.
Their journey takes them to the secretive iron forge of Edorin Firefist high in the Thilnog Mountains and beyond as they must decide whether to use the energy of the Staff or try and destroy the thing before someone more powerful takes it from them.

The German Football Federation (DFB) president has sent an open letter to all 25,641 clubs in the country urging respect for referees after a volunteer linesman was beaten to death in the Netherlands.
Dutch police have arrested four players suspected of involvement in the fatal beating after a youth match.
DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach said the news of the beating was received "with horror and disbelief."
Niersbach said what happened in the Netherlands must not repeat itself anywhere in the world. He said the commitment of referees in Germany "deserves the highest recognition and respect" and "our special protection."
Without them, there would be no regulated nationwide football, with its 1.6 million games annually, Niersbach said.
He said the DFB was determined to stand up for the referees.

Nikon D5200 55-300MM Crop vs Canon SX50 Optical Zoom
Dec 30, 2013
In terms of zoom capability + quality , which would result better?
I know dslr has better quality and SX50 has better zoom range, and they say you can just crop up a 300mm image result so what if you add quality + zoom range which should provide better result for taking a picture of a bird
A crop of a 55-300MM by a DSLR or Canon SX50 Optical Zoom if we consider the bird is located far away from where you are

LeBron continues hot streak as Heat burn Clippers
MIAMI, (Reuters) – LeBron James equalled a franchise record with his fourth straight 30-point game as the Miami Heat routed the Los Angeles Clippers 111-89 on Friday.
James put up 30 points off 9 of 11 shooting before sitting out all of the fourth quarter as Eastern Conference leaders and defending champions Miami dominated a Clippers team who are placed third in the West.
James was voted the league's Most Valuable Player last season but is clearly pushing himself to exceed even that oustanding campaign.
In his last four games James has shot at a remarkable 73 percent – making 43 of 59 attempts and his performance on Friday was the first time in his career he has made 30 point on 11 or fewer shots.
"We try to come up with new superlatives every single game. He is the best player in the game and and he is continuing to reinvent himself," said Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra.
Miami's victory was even more impressive given they were without center Chris Bosh and shooting guard Ray Allen who were both missing with flu.
Dwyane Wade, who looks to be on his way back to his best, added 20 points while Mario Chalmers compensated for Allen's absence with 18 points, including five three-pointers.
While the Heat have had some bumps on the road this year, they are 21-3 at the American Airlines Arena and have won their last six at home.
The Clippers had guard Chris Paul back from injury after missing nine games but not surprisingly he looked short of full form while forward Blake Griffin was back after sitting out two games with a hamstring injury.
With Chauncey Billups and Jamal Crawford also back from injury, the Clippers finally had their preferred starting line-up back but it proved a difficult night.
"Everyone knows we have not played with that group in a long time but they were quicker and more physical than us. We also can't turn the ball over the way we did – we gave them 27 points of those," said Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro.
The Heat took control of the game in the second quarter, outscoring the Clippers by 11 points to go in 62-50 at the break and then they ran away with the game in the third scoring 31 to L.A's 18.

Randy McClave Poems
Bring Me Flowers
Bring me flowers when I am living Don't bring me them when I am dead, Let me enjoy them in the giving My mother always had said.
Becoming A Man
The father told his son when he becomes a man To always be the very best that he truly can, Becoming a man pertains to wisdom and not of age Don't enter it with simplicity and never with a gage,
Cherry Blossom
I stare out at the cherry blossoms In marvel and joy I watch them bloom Then they burst out with their effloresces As though awaking from mother nature's womb,
Love Is
Love is special, Love is kind, Love is joyful, Anyday or anytime.
Knowing Of A Tree
It is a good thing indeed When someone plants a seed And to watch and help it grow So someday, it to be a tree.
Being Yourself
Be the way that you want to be Not the way that others have chose Be not your Mother, nor your Father, Because in your body their blood does flow.
Happy Mood
So fine a day it is today To the world I send out my hope and care Happy and joyful I am so to all I must say That I will remember you all in my prayer.
Drinking never made me a happier person Nor did it allow me to enjoy my life more If anything it caused my attitude to worsen Then in the end I ended up face down on the floor.
Let's Build The Wall
Let's build us a wall to keep everyone out Let's build us a wall even if they scream and shout, To the heavens it must rise to protect us one and all Then we all will be finally defended, so let's build us a wall.
I Am My Father's Son
I Am My Father's Son That is who I am, Though I am, still his child I am still a man.
Two Sides To Every Story
There are two sides to every story Not just the side of them or theirs, So never judge or hold a grudge And when you listen, please listen with care.
The Scottish Dance
I once had myself a Scottish Lassie She then became my joy and pride Then one-night she gave me Scottish ale Then she became my Scottish bride
You brush and sweep with your broom Upon the kitchen floor and then another room Cleanliness seems to be your fate As you are the one not to delay or hesitate
More Than Life Itself
I love you more than life itself Is that so much of a crime, To say for you, I'd do all I could Even if it meant for me to live or die.

But, not always with fists, sometimes with poems to recite,
He was never humbled, but he did fate us
And he will always be remembered, as the greatest.
He was a boxer at which he was very skilled

Ammo that sparked Sunflower Fire prohibited at all times
The incendiary ammunition that allegedly sparked the Sunflower Fire is banned at all times from forest lands, the Forest Service said in an email.
The email read:
It is prohibited to use tracer bullets and incendiary ammo on National Forest System lands- PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES ON ALL NATIONAL FORESTS. This prohibition is under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRS), so it governs ALL National Forest System lands (including the Pacific and Puerto Rico).
According to the Forest Service, gunfire ignited seven fires in Arizona in 2010, ten fires in 2011 and five so far in 2012, including the Sunflower Fire.
The forest was not under fire restrictions on May 12, when the fire was started. Those restrictions were set to go in place on May 15.
The Sunflower Fire has burned 17,500 acres to date and has cost about $6 million to fight. It is still 80 percent contained.
Persons who start a wildfire can be held liable — both legally and financially — if the U.S. Attorney's Office chooses to pursue that route.

A home should be an expression of who you are.

If you are a technologically oriented geek, there are plenty of manufacturers and vendors catering to your tastes in home decor.

There are so many furnishings and household items inspired by video games that you'd think hardcore gamers must be home decorating freaks.

One of these products used the description "Gruesome, bloody, and absolutely offensive." This collection is not for the squeamish.

Niels Diffrient is an old-school industrial designer, best known for his Freedom Chair -- an ergonomic office chair that auto-adjusts to the user.

In this TED Talk, Diffrient talks about how he got into chair design and discusses some of the technical challenges facing chair designers.

REVIEW: Cinema-goers getting long in the tooth could do worse than take in this endearing British comedy drama.
Loaded with a veteran British cast and surprisingly directed by American Dustin Hoffman in his debut aged 75, it is set in something called a home for retired musicians.
Gossip and intrigue pervade Beecham House, as you would expect from the ultra oldies, and especially between so many former stars of the stage and opera.
Based on a West End play of the same name, the oldies annually put on a gala concert - to celebrate Guiseppe Verdi's birthday - and this one is to raise funds to keep the plush place open. But, borrowing a saying from Bette Davis, "getting old isn't for sissies".
Three of them are former members of a quartet and the arrival of the fourth, starchy former star soloist Jean Horton, opens old wounds.
Horton is played by Maggie Smith, a dame no less, and she can play grumpy and haughty to a tee. She starred in another Quartet movie in 1981, but it bore no relation to this one.
Billy Connolly was my favourite. As Wilf on his stick, he almost played himself; no shortage of grubbiness (widdling on trees in the house grounds) and naughty sexual innuendo with anything female, including the young house doctor.
We were cleverly spared Billy's vocals, unlike Russell Crowe's in Les Miserables.
Michael Gambon (Cedric) plays a wonderfully eccentric self-appointed musical bully, Pauline Collins is silly Cissy, while Reggie (Tom Courtenay) wants to live out his life happily.
If all such retirement complexes around Manawatu were like the exquisitely leafy Beecham House, there would be queues waiting to book a room.
The music and singing are another plus, even with genuine geriatric sopranos and tenors in the support cast belting out Happy Birthday To You. And all of them singing Verdi's Brindisi from La Traviata.
No wonder many local folk have seen Quartet twice.

When Jeff Foxworthy first emerged into the public consciousness, his regular-guy persona and neo-HEE HAW humor seemed unlikely for the makings of the biggest-selling comedy album of all time (YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF?). Of course, these qualities are just what make him so accessible--while critics continue to underestimate the smarts that go into creating his brand of gloriously dumb jokes, the small-town Georgia boy just keeps getting better. Like Bill Cosby and Bernie Mac, the key to Foxworthy's success is his ability to describe the ridiculousness of life's everyday foibles with vivid detail and all-inclusive charm. That the comic manages to put a new spin on tried-and-true topics such as rental cars and going to the grocery store is no mean feat. One listen to HAVE YOUR LOVED ONES SPAYED OR NEUTERED reveals a keen cultural observer who always laughs with, and never at, his audience.
