Mexico: Swim with Whale Sharks
Snorkel alongside the world's largest fish
Pricing From: $825 USD per person
Duration: 5 days
Operator: Reefs to Rockies
Swim alongside the largest fish on the planet, snorkel in crystal clear Caribbean waters, and discover Isla Mujeres.
Day 1 - ARRIVAL IN ISLA MUJERES
Transfer from Cancun Airport to Gran Puerto Ferry Terminal for a 20 minute ferry ride to Isla Mujeres. Spend rest of the day exploring the island. Overnight at Ixchel Beach Hotel or similar.
Whale Sharks ~ The gigantic whale shark, known locally as "domino", is the largest fish on the planet. One of three filter-feeding sharks, whale sharks feed on krill, fish eggs, crab larvae, and jellyfish. They open their mouth wide to optimize feeding and also feed via suction while vertical in the water. Even though the whale shark has a sizable mouth, it doesn't have the large, sharp teeth characteristic of most sharks.
Day 2 - WHALE SHARK TOUR
Early this morning, you'll be met at the Nautibeach ferry dock for your first whale shark adventure. Twenty-five miles off the coast, in deep blue waters abundant with plankton, whale sharks have come together in large numbers for their annual aggregation. You have the opportunity to swim with these gentle giants as they glide close to the surface, mouth wide open like a vacuum, filtering food from the water.
After your whale shark adventure, you'll return to Isla where you'll have the rest of the day to explore. You can relax on world-famous Playa Norte (North Beach), shop in artisan-owned stores, or choose from a surprising array of intimate restaurants for dinner out on the town. Overnight at Ixchel Beach Hotel or similar.
Day 3 - WHALE SHARK TOUR
Today, you'll have another opportunity swim with whale sharks as no two days are alike. The rest of the day is free to rent a golf cart or bike to check out the south end of the island. Overnight at Ixchel Beach Hotel or similar.
Day 4 - UNDERWATER SCULPTURE MUSEUM
Today, you'll have the opportunity to go snorkeling at MUSA (Museo Subacuatico de Arte) and Manchones Reef. MUSA is an innovative project - the underwater sculptures are designed to encourage coral growth and reef formation. Overnight at Ixchel Beach Hotel or similar.
Day 5 - RETURN HOME
Transfer to the airport for your flight home or continue your stay with an extension to the Yucatan Peninsula.
Optional Extension
Due to its proximity to the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres is a great starting point for discovering the Yucatan's diverse cultural, archaeological, and biological diversity.

Not much to say today, so I won't. Here are your Halolinks:
- This is pretty sad. The Angels are playing so bad that teams are saving their good pitchers and throwing scrubs out there to face the struggling Halos: Angels-Rays Preview - Yahoo! Sports. "He's (Jake Odorizzi) been pitching well," manager Joe Maddon told the Rays' official website. "We thought that would be the right thing to do there." Making his first appearance against the Angels, the right-hander is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in his previous five major league starts." Tampa Bay had originally scheduled David Price for today's game, but apparently decided to take it easy on the Angels and save him for tomorrow's game against Oakland.
- The Angels should take notes from the Rays...only use your weaker pitchers against crappy teams: Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays - August 28, 2013 - MLB.com. "Richards, outdueled by the upstart Chris Archer, threw 36 of his 84 pitches for balls, started off behind in the count on 11 of the 21 batters he faced and even mixed in a wild pitch. He wasn't much better in that department on Friday -- 55 of 89 pitches were for strikes and he was behind on 16 of 26 hitters -- but he was able to put the Mariners away nonetheless."
- Well, I guess he showed me. Just one day after I wrote about how ridiculous Fernando Rodney looked by wearing his hat at a goofy angle, he took that hat and shoved it up my butt: Rays keep control of wild-card spot with 4-1 win over Angels - Yahoo! Sports. "Joel Peralta and Rodney held the Angels (59-72) hitless a night after Los Angeles scored twice in the ninth off Rodney to steal a win. Rodney struck out Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton to earn his 31st save. "
- At least he's consistent: Archer, DeJesus help Rays beat Angels 4-1 - Yahoo! Sports. "Trout had his 51st multihit game of the season and raised his batting average against right-handed pitchers to .332. He is hitting .333 against lefties."
- Dammit, now the Angels are differently going to miss the playoffs: Nelson's season in doubt following hamstring strain - angels.com. "Nelson will be placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday and third baseman Luis Jimenez is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his spot on the roster. Nelson had been the Angels' everyday third baseman since Alberto Callaspo was traded, batting .220 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 33 games."
- I added this link to today's post, not because I thought you'd be interested in the Dodgers and Puig, but because I thought this last bit from Rob Neyer was interesting: Yasiel Puig gets benched. Again. - Baseball Nation. "Earlier in the season when the Dodgers were losing, it seemed like Mattingly couldn't say anything right. Now they're winning, and it seems like Mattingly can't say anything wrong. Winning is funny that way, don't you think?" This is what's going on with the Angels and Mike Scioscia. When the Angels were winning and making the playoffs, no one cared what Scioscia did or where he batted players. In fact, I think I remember people saying how much of a genius he was for running out 160 different lineups during one season. Okay, it wasn't 160 different lineup, but you get what I mean. Winning = Genius, Losing = GTFO.
- Yeah, I know...two Dodger stories in a row. Sorry. Dodgers sign Edinson Volquez for some reason - CBSSports.com. "Volquez was recently designated for assignment by the 59-73 Padres after posting a 6.01 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 27 starts. He leads the majors in earned runs allowed. He hasn't been a good pitcher since 2008. He was horrible on the road last year while his Petco Park numbers brought him close to respectable, but with the fences moved in this year he was awful." I'm not sure why the Dodgers signed Volquez, they certainly already have enough pitching, but what I'm curious about is if the Angels at least checked in with the shitty pitcher. The Angels' season has turned into the best opportunity for reclamation projects, which is what Volquez could've been.
- Best comment this season: Logan Morrison Gives Up On Pop-Up Because A Fan Called For It. And someone posted, "In all fairness, the Marlins aren't used to playing in front of fans." (Disclaimer: There's another great comment to this article that I
stoleborrowed above.)
- Brandon Phillips Curses Out Cincinnati Enquirer Reporter. "C. Trent Rosecrans, the Reds beat writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Brandon Phillips seem to have a little beef going on. Rosecrans has been critical of Phillips's on-base percentage and Phillips apparently thinks Rosecrans is a motherfucker." AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

The NFL has suspended Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger for the first six games of the 2010 season for violating its personal-conduct policy, the league announced Wednesday.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will require Roethlisberger to undergo "comprehensive behavioral evaluation" by medical professionals, the league said. According to the NFL, Goodell will assess Roethlisberger's progress before the season and could elect to reduce the player's suspension to four games. However, Goodell also has the right to extend Roethlisberger's suspension if he does not cooperate, the league said.
According to the NFL, Roethlisberger cannot participate in offseason team activities until he has completed the behavioral evaluation and Goodell, after consulting with the medical professionals, clears him to return to the team, which could include participating in training camp and preseason games.
"Your conduct raises sufficient concerns that I believe effective intervention now is the best step for your personal and professional welfare," Goodell wrote in a letter to Roethlisberger that detailed the NFL's decision on discipline.
Roethlisberger, 28, was investigated by Georgia authorities in connection with an alleged sexual assault at a Milledgeville, Ga., nightclub in March, but he was not criminally charged. However, Roethlisberger has received a torrent of criticism in the aftermath of the incident.
In his letter to Roethlisberger, excerpts of which the NFL made public on its Web site, Goodell explained the basis for his decision:
"The Personal Conduct Policy makes clear that I may impose discipline 'even where the conduct does not result in conviction of a crime' as, for example, where the conduct 'imposes inherent danger to the safety and well being of another person'," commissioner Goodell stated in his letter to Roethlisberger. "As (Ocmulgee [Ga.] Judicial Circuit district attorney Fred Bright) concluded, the extensive investigatory record shows that you contributed to the irresponsible consumption of alcohol by purchasing (or facilitating the purchase of) alcoholic beverages for underage college students, at least some of whom were likely already intoxicated.
"There is no question that the excessive consumption of alcohol that evening put the students and yourself at risk. The Personal Conduct Policy also states that discipline is appropriate for conduct that 'undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL players.' By any measure, your conduct satisfies that standard."
The Steelers, clearly in preparation for the potential of a Roethlisberger suspension, acquired QB Byron Leftwich from the Buccaneers for a 2010 seventh-round pick on Tuesday. Leftwich played with Pittsburgh in 2008. Leftwich and Dennis Dixon are the top candidates to replace Roethlisberger in the lineup, with Charlie Batch another option.
The Steelers' first six games are vs. Atlanta (Sept. 12), at Tennessee (Sept. 19), at Tampa Bay (Sept. 26), vs. Baltimore (Oct. 3), vs. Cleveland (Oct. 17) and at Miami (Oct. 24). The Steelers' bye is in Week Five, the second weekend in October.
The PFW spin
With the questions about discipline for Roethlisberger having been cleared up, it's time to ponder Roethlisberger's future in Pittsburgh.
Trade chatter about Roethlisberger, who has six years left on his contract, continues in earnest, with ESPN.com reporting Wednesday that the Steelers have called teams with top-10 picks to ask if they would consider trading their selection for Roethlisberger. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also reported Wednesday that the team had received trade "feelers" from other clubs and hadn't ruled out a trade of Roethlisberger, though the paper also said the club was not believed to be "actively" trying to deal the quarterback.
The addition of Leftwich (who signed a contract extension through 2011 on Wednesday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) gives the Steelers more flexibility if they were to deal Roethlisberger. Leftwich played well in limited snaps in Pittsburgh in '08 and knows Bruce Arians' offense. The Steelers also could turn to third-year QB Dennis Dixon, who started in place of an injured Roethlisberger at Baltimore last season. Though he made the game's pivotal mistake in overtime, throwing an interception that led to the Ravens kicking the game-winning field goal, he helped keep Pittsburgh competitive in the game and displayed some intriguing skills.
Let's look at the prospect of a Roethlisberger trade from the perspective of the Steelers and any prospective suitors.
On the Steelers' side of the ledger, there are the issues of 1) how willing they are to trade Roethlisberger and 2) what they could command for him in trade. Issue No. 1 could very well influence the second issue; if the Steelers truly want to move Roethlisberger, perhaps they are willing to be flexible on price.
On the other side of the equation, teams contemplating the prospect of dealing for Roethlisberger have to weigh, among other factors, 1) the fact he won't be playing a full season, 2) his contract, which runs for six more seasons and 3) how the move will be received by their fan bases. Then, of course, there is the issue of what the Steelers might want for Roethlisberger. If a top-10 draft pick is what they may be eyeing for their franchise quarterback, as the ESPN.com report suggests … well, that's no small price to pay in a strong draft.
In short, there are many layers to this issue.
Should the Steelers keep Roethlisberger, the short-term on-field concern turns to how they will be affected in the four games he's certain to miss, at a minimum. Of Pittsburgh's first six games, the toughest — the Oct. 3 matchup with Baltimore — is at Heinz Field. With plenty of talent on the roster, and with either Leftwich or Dixon adequate short-term starting options, the Steelers wouldn't fall apart in Roethlisberger's absence.
Perhaps the point that was most evident in the wake of Roethlisberger's suspension Wednesday is that his NFL career hangs in the balance. Any missteps off the field could lead to additional, and stronger, NFL discipline. Both the league and the team have publicly registered their disappointment in him. Moreover, his image in Pittsburgh has clearly taken a hit.
However, he is getting a second chance to continue his career. Now, it's up to him to make the most of it.
"I believe it is essential that you take full advantage of the resources available to you," Goodell wrote to Roethlisberger in the letter released Wednesday. "My ultimate disposition in this matter will be influenced by the extent to which you do so, what you learn as a result, and a demonstrated commitment to making positive change in your life."

And just what are the tourists from out of state supposed to do?? This is about the stupidest decision I have seen yet concerning bridge tolls.
on Feb 21, 2013 at 12:48 pm
I visited the ggb website and looked for the out-of-state or no plate vehicle toll payment options, and discovered there are several ways to pay the tolls, either before or after the crossing. Boy! I bet we will see 100% collection compliance with that system. Who thinks-up this nonsense?
on Feb 21, 2013 at 1:37 pm
There may be a way of sneaking across by using a red laser light that binks...just saying...tee hee

The bridge toll takes a picture of the front license plate. But, if it's a new car or anyone without a front license plate I wonder how they are going to collect.
My best guess is that they can have losses from non-collected tolls but they are minor to the labor costs to manually collect the toll.
on Feb 21, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Let's see-- $16 million saved over 8 years, say $2 million a year divided by 15 toll takers (nearly half of 28 will be reassigned) equates to $133,333/year(including benefits per toll taker... A good target job to cut costs. But, the next question, as mentioned above, is what about the out of state tourist, rent a car local, or other non payer? Is that included in the $16 million saved?? I doubt it. Just another "save money in theory, not in reality" edict. Heck, how else do you design a plane while it's flying?
on Feb 22, 2013 at 8:39 am
liberalism is a disease is a registered user.
Sounds like the toll takers must not have been in a union. Maybe there are some openings at Castlewood that they could apply for.
on Feb 22, 2013 at 9:43 am
There are ways to coat a license plate that cannot be seen by a camera...tee hee...the camera will click but not record the number...duh

Portions of the articled are from Climate Central.
The eastern U.S. experienced a deep freeze to kick off 2014, while the western U.S. was unusually warm.
The contrast can be seen in the images below.
The blue dots in the top image show where the high temperature for a given January 2014 day tied or were cooler than the lowest daytime highs on record.
Basically, it means it was a record cold day in the afternoon.
This occurred over 2000 times in January, mainly east of the Continental Divide.
There are also nearly 800 red dots, which indicate new record highs.
These red dots are concentrated mostly west of the Continental Divide.
Although the cold weather records dominate in the numbers, keep in mind that weather station coverage in the eastern U.S. is much better than in the more sparsely populated western U.S.
The warm air even reached all the way into Alaska, as the polar vortex pushed Arctic temperatures into the eastern U.S. during January.
According to Climate Central, Port Alsworth, AK, reached 62°F on January 27, which tied the official statewide record high for the month of January.

After 10 years, two mayors and numerous City Council members, Miami Gardens has lost one of its founding leaders, Danny Crew, who decided to end his run as the city's first and only City Manager since its incorporation.
He was involved in the city's early days — aiding in lowering the city's debt and establishing an organizational structure. When he started, Crew said, the city was operating all of its accounts out of a single checkbook and noted that he was nervous because so many of the city's revenue sources required multiple accounts.
"I was sure I was going to go to jail, money's an easy way to get yourself in trouble," said Crew.
The city was able to reduce its debt to Miami-Dade County to about $3.5 million from $11 million, Crew said.
Crew, 66, worked on key milestones for the city, such as starting the city's parks department, establishing the police force in 2007 and dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
"The best thing about Dr. Crew was that he was always behind the desk," Mayor Oliver Gilbert said. "If the city was on fire, he was at his desk. If there was a hurricane outside, he was going to be at his desk — he was going to answer the phone."
Crew credited his early staff members and assistants who crammed with him into a small office, and worked long hours, before moving into the current City Hall. Councilwoman Lillie Odom said it had more to do with his passion for even the smallest details.
"When he was designing the logo for the police cars, he was so excited about that," Odom said. "He went through several different designs, when we said 'Oh we like that one,' he was so happy."
Stepping in to replace Crew as City Manager is Cameron Benson, who last served as a city manager in Hollywood. Benson will begin on an interim basis and be appointed to the position after his contract is finalized.
Benson quit his previous job as manager in Hollywood after nine years, back in 2011. He was criticized for disclosing that the city had a $10.3 million dollar deficit only a month before the next year's budget had to be finalized. Despite this, Crew supports his replacement.
"They blamed him for the city's economic problem," Crew said. "I'll accept that if they blame him for the other 8 or 9 million cities in the nation that had economic problems. I don't believe he was the one who crashed Wall Street, as far as I know."
Gilbert said he believes Benson can "handle anything thrown at him," and Odom agrees although she admitted he isn't entering the position with the same "seasoning" as Crew.
"When you look at 10 years ago and the experience Danny Crew had and you look at Cameron there's absolutely no comparison," Odom said. "The majority of his experience is in planning while Danny had an array of experience."
Though Crew entered the position after serving as City Manager in Gastonia, N.C. and had over 20 years of experience in multiple management positions in South Florida he initially had to deal with an obstacle beyond his control — his appearance.
Crew is a tall, bespectacled man with an easy smile and white hair. He was also introduced as a white man in a city that, according to 2010 Census data, has the third-largest percentage of African Americans in the country. The city is 78 percent black.
"There was a lot of opposition to me, and a lot of nervousness on my part," Crew said. "It was tough for them to go out in the community and sell me."
Odom, who has been around since the city's early days, said that even as the council considered multiple candidates for the position, she told her colleagues, "I think you guys need to take another look at the white boy."
The City Council eventually approved his hire with a 4-3 vote.
Crew would face public scrutiny again after his side passion of collecting and writing about suffrage and American historical sheet music — including music from the Ku Klux Klan — became public knowledge.
"I collect old piano sheet music and I have one of the largest collections in the nation," Crew said. "People got up at the council meetings and said since he wrote a book on the Klan he must be a member."
Eventually, the city and community came to accept him and, as he leaves, Crew said he'll keep himself busy by continuing to pursue his passion for historical music.
He is finishing his second doctorate degree at the University of Sunderland, in England, studying American political music history online in the culture department. He plans to travel to the country to give his oral defense in January.
"I'm glad to be where I am. My contract would have taken me through the end of July but at some point the city needs to move forward," said Crew.
He has not ruled out a return to municipal government, but said if he does return he'd like to go to central Florida, the area he thinks represents "the old Florida."

Promotes Violence

Christian Cruelty: An Unfortunate Reality
Reply by Frank and Mary Hoffman
Dear Michelle:
The unfortunate problem is that more people seek to do evil than seek to do good. They only seem to want to satisfy the lust of their eyes, the lust of their flesh, and the boastful pride of their lives, which John tells are the basis of all sins. The Holy Spirit prompts everyone of what God desires of us, through what we usually refer to as our conscience. As a result, these hard of heart people try to justify their lifestyle through the distortion of God's word, and by leading others astray into their way of thinking, by playing on their lusts.
We need to remember that the Bible teaches us that the father of lies is the devil. So, if these so-called Christians are part of the lie, they are really following the devil and the spirit of the antichrist. They are not followers of Jesus Christ.
True Christians are known by and through their love for the whole of God's creation.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary
Return to Christian Cruelty: An Unfortunate Reality
The intent of this series is to wake up and encourage the Church to greater works of love and compassion (John 14:12). It is not to condemn the Church, in general, or any individual, any more than Jesus condemned the woman caught in adultery. Jesus said to her, "...go your way. From now on sin no more." (John 8:11) And this is our message to the Church: Recognize our sins of the past and go forth seeking to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48), correcting the sins of the past, for that is the only way we can truly show the world that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, might, and mind, including the whole of creation, which includes our neighbors whom we are to love as ourselves.

Divine Delicacies, a family-owned local business created NBA Championship Trophy replica cakes for the Miami Heat following their NBA Finals victory. Several large, elaborate cakes were made for...
(2) Miami Heat vs (7) New York Knicks Preview
CHICAGO BULLS @ MIAMI HEAT PREVIEW - Forgot to put this up here but seeing Piccolomair's username reminded me to post it up here. A promo for today's game at 3:30pm(est) showcasing why this is a much anticipated-muchup between the two teams. Unfortunately, it does have a clip of Taj Gibson dunking on Dwyane Wade...
Miami Heat did not throw a party for their fans this time around but they do have a brand new intro video.
Pat Riley reflects upon the Heat's 2010-11 season. If there were any questions of whether or not the Hall of Famer, Pat Riley, will return to the sidelines, Pat Riley says he will not return to coaching and that the Big 3 comprised of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh will stay intact. He also addresses other questions, rumors, and concerns.
Story chronicling the unparalleled drop in popularity of LeBron James and the challenges involved with rebuilding his reputation, as compared to similar obstacles encountered by Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez.
"While still disappointed that James didn't choose to play for the Knicks, Thomas says he doesn't agree with his fellow legends about LeBron's decision. From the NY Post: "Thomas added Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan were wrong to condemn LeBron for joining forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. 'I strongly disagree with their comments,' Thomas said. '[Magic] had a great team. They said they wouldn't have left but look who they were playing with. Those teams were stacked."
Detailed article discussing the off and on the court ramifications of LeBron James' decision to leave Cleveland for Miami, while strangely making the announcement right outside of New York City. Included is some rare video of James from his days in Cleveland.

Externship Program
The Externship Program is available to second and third year students who are in good academic standing. Students may participate in the Program during the academic year and/or during the summer. Interested students participate in an application and interview process with pre-established placement sites during the spring semester.
What to expect
The Externship consists of a 2 or 3 credit placement. Students spend 112 or 168 hours per semester at their placements, depending on the number of credits. The seminar is a 2 credit course. Professional Responsibility is a co- or pre-requisite. Placements are available to 2L and 3L students. Students need a minimum GPA of 2.2 to apply.
Students will:
- Identify legal problems and mechanisms for solving those problems.
- Prepare cases for presentation before judicial and administrative bodies.
- Identify and resolve ethical problems arising in cases.
- Negotiate, conduct legal research, and draft documents.
- Interview and counsel clients.
- Acquire knowledge in the substantive areas of law practiced at each placement.
In the classroom
The Externship Seminar provides an opportunity for reflective learning. The students are asked to consider what they do in their placements and how they can learn from those experiences. We focus on how do get good supervision, how to learn from observation, how to obtain and use feedback, and how to make the transition from being a law student to being an attorney.

Magnetized anything inside the camera body would be a bad idea. With the complex circuitry inside any slight mishap could cause lots of damage and void any warranty you have. Even battery out no power magnets cause all sorts of havoc as they can induce a current into a system. DO NOT put anything magnetized into your camera body.

I always try to avoid that, it's so difficult to digest. Plastic is where I draw the line.

I guess I should add "camera" In there. Plastic is equally dangerous though for numerous reasons~
Thanks all for the tips. Since there were more people for magnets than against, I gave it a try last night without much luck - no sight or sound of the screw. I've come up with another theory to torment myself with - what if the screw came out as I was trying to shake it out and I didn't notice, and now I'm spending all this time chasing after it... anyway, I think my next step will be trying to find a replacement screw, as well as try to focus on making photos to get my mind off this madness
I hope you used a VERY low strength permeant magnet. There are a number of things in the body can can create current off a magnetic field. You could have easily cooked any hard (see camera firmware) memory storage in the body. Magnets + non-sheilded electronics = huge money loss. Also, did you test the other screw to see if it was ferromagnetic?
Maybe go see if you can get it xrayed? Know any radiologists or TSA agents?Find some poor smock in the ER with a broken rib and give him 50$ to let your body piggyback

Archived:Getting Platform properties and IMEI in Flash Lite
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.
The correct syntax for getting the IMEI code is as follows:
deviceID = fscommand2("GetDeviceID", "deviceID");
The platform information is retrieved thusly:
platformString = fscommand2("GetPlatform", "thePlatform");
What you get is a text string. It depends a lot on the platform and is not standardised. You can benefit from looking for 40 and 60 inside the string. I'll later add here a little snippet that starts the file browser in both s60 and series 40 devices...

Morning all!
It's very windy here too, Mistic! I didn't sleep well last night because of all the noise – it sounded as if my windows were going to be blown in! Plus it's been raining since Tuesday, and when I look at the forecast, all I see is rain right through next Tuesday. We're under a flash flood warning for one of the local rivers. All in all, very depressing weather! It looks like March will definitely "come in like a lion"…I just hope it will "go out like a lamb" unlike last year. Last year, this kind of weather continued straight through the summer; we went weeks without sun. It was like we'd been relocated to Forks! ;)
Hello. ;)
I would like to have a bit more summer than last year, please. ;)
Off to see what mischief I can get into. ;)
Hello ,
Had a little time because I'm taking a break and decided to drop by. Man only 8 pages? This is almost unbelievalbe. I remember when I would read the old polls and they would be only 34 pages or so. I thought I had missed something.
The dogs are taking a nap on the couch and I think that is where I want to be. Lol I have worked too hard this week and today I'm tired. Nope can't lay down my hair is still wet. I guess I need to go get the hair dryer and dry it a little.
After lunch lurk. ;)
Almost hometime. ;)
Bbl or sometime this weekend. ;)

I'm here to check in but it is apparent we've moved into the other place. I do think checking in here is good. It keeps us in the loop and this place held as back up.
Bon jour! ;)
My neck hurts. I don't know if It's the bed or the pillow or just me. I seem to be sleeping with it crooked or twisted the wrong way or something. ;)
Off to check in with my groups and other sites. Then I will settle down to an afternoon of cyber car shopping or I'll do the taxes. ;)
rubs eyes

How many hours do you spend online? Broadband providers offer deals based on your usage so to get the best deal, you shouldn't buy more than you need. Some packages offer 'unlimited downloads' but if you don't surf that much, then it might be cheaper to get a capped deal. If you download a lot then check the fair usage policy to ensure your new service wont be suspended if you download excessively.
Download speed is the most important element of your package so first of all check the speed that you can get in your area with each provider. The closer you are to your telephone exchange the quicker your speed will be. Dont sign up for a 12 Mbps deal if you can only get a maximum download speed of 6Mbps for example. Bt hope to provide a 20Mbps speed deal by March 2010. They will also give free Broadband Accelerators to anyone applying online.
Save money by combining your landline, broadband and TV. Check the deals carefully as they all vary. Virgin Media, Sky and BT offer the best deals. Talk Talk and Plusnet also offer good deals.
If you are short of time consider a comparing broadband deals to see if switching provider can help save you money
It can be difficult to change providers if you are tied to a 12 month contract so make sure that you choose a reliable company. Cheap is not always the best.

The family says it's time to change the look of these."I want to get this awareness out to other parents that it looks like candy," says Cindy Hieb, Alex's grandmother.Now all this family can do is hope and pray, for a full recovery."There's no information how he'll be. He needs a ventilator to breath right now," says Klienschmidt.Poison control centers have received more than 9,500 reports of children five and under coming in contact with or swallowing pods since early 2012.The first reported death came this past August, when a one-year-old died after swallowing one in Florida.Alex's family has set up a caring bridge website.

INDIAN LAKE — A State Police trooper has been suspended without pay following his arrest on a charge of operating a snowmobile under the influence of alcohol.
At 10 p.m. Tuesday, an Indian Lake-based trooper was dispatched to a possible personal-injury snowmobile accident on State Route 30 in the Town of Indian Lake, according to a press release from State Police Troop B.
Investigation revealed that a snowmobile owned and operated by Randy J. Weaver, 31, an off-duty trooper based at Indian Lake, had become stuck in a snow-filled ditch by the roadside.
He appeared intoxicated, police said, and, after he underwent standardized field sobriety tests, was arrested, the release said.
The charge against him is a violation of Section 25.24 of the State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Laws.
Weaver is scheduled to appear in Indian Lake Town Court at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 8.

Posted by: KLKN Newsroom, email@example.com
An early and eager crowd gathered at The Sand Bar and Grill in Norfolk Thursday morning, in anticipation of a big announcement from Hollywood; Oscar nominations.
The film "Nebraska" follows a father and son's journey from Montana to Lincoln to collect what they think is a $1 million lottery prize.
It was shot throughout the state, and includes some Nebraskans in small roles.
At 72, Roger Stuckwisch from Tilden never thought he'd be on the big screen.
"It was a dream! You know, and it was something that I never ever in my lifetime would ever imagine happening to me."
But it did. He plays a karaoke singer in the movie, but he fell into the role by accident.
"I was singing down here in Norfolk in Kings Sports Bar and they had scouts in there that night. She heard me sing and so that was it," he says.
His cast mate Melinda Simonsen of Norfolk played a cashier in Lincoln.
After the torture of waiting to hear the nominations, six of them! Including Best Picture and Best Director, Alexander Payne, who Simonsen says was an honor to work with.
"He was easy to approach and it felt more like he was a friend than a big Hollywood director. Yes! I'm very excited," she says.
And it's not just the cast that's rooting for the film; Norfolk officials say the production's presence brought a special energy to the city.
Norfolk's Economic Development Director Courtney Klein says "It's been almost surreal since the beginning when they called and said they might be looking to film the movie here in northeast Nebraska. It's been an amazing experience. We've, we've really enjoyed the ride."
Nebraskans involved in the film say the story depicts a unique truth about the state's culture, and that it's something to be proud of.

The First TimePosted Friday, July 27, 2007, at 11:21 AM
The First Time
Welcome to 'The Screening Room'. My name is Cody Dame and I have recently been twisted into writing a blog. You see, over the past two weeks or so, I have been working at getting the Gazette's website switched over to the new design, as well as filling in all the holes, such as bloggers, video, on the street, movie reviews, and more. I had no desire to write a blog. At all. Let me put that in easier terms, no bloggy for me.
To explain how I agreed to do a blog after my expressed non-interest in such a thing is long and drawn out and I'll try to condense it into an easy to digest portion.
Anyways, I started a program on the website for movie reviews and Fridley Theatres which owns McCook's Cinema 3 was kind enough to help us do that program. Well, I got some terrific responses from the movie reviews and we decided to branch out to movie reviews of new DVD releases rather than just new releases at the cinema. What a great idea! I'll get to watch more movies(for free!) and share my comments on them. Wait. Actually, now I have to do more work. The benefits here are, watch more movies and not pay for them. The downfalls, more work. I was already starting to back out. As much as I love movies, I hate working more than necessary. Let me actually elaborate on that. I enjoy working hard at something (I loathe lazy people), but movies are a passion, if you will. I will work 24 hours a day as long as I can take a break and watch a movie with the family. But this new thing is going to take my enjoyment time and turn it into work. When am I going to have my enjoyment?
Well, long story short, I realized that I don't actually have to write the reviews till the next day after I watch the show, so I can still have my fun and do the work part later. That's enough complaining by me anyways. I really didn't have that much opposition to the whole thing since it was my idea. I'm just not a typical blogger. Thus, my blog won't be about me or what's going on with me. It will be strictly a place for DVD movie reviews.
With that story out of the way, I'd like to thank Colby at Movie Gallery. Movie Gallery has been kind enough to donate movies for us to review each week. Without Colby and Movie Gallery, this little blog wouldn't be happening.
From experience with the other bloggers and the feedback I have received and that they have received, it would seem that YOU, the dedicated reader, would like to know more about the people blogging. So, for those of you who do not know me. Here's a brief introduction.
I have lived in McCook my entire life except for a brief college stint in St. Louis at Webster University. I came back from college and started my Videography, Photography, and DJ Service business, Divine Productions, which I still do today. I also just recently started Game On, LLC with my partner Tanner Lytle. Game On is a video game, board game, and card game store that should be open by September 1st of this year. And, of course, I work here at the Gazette doing various things such as the website. I stay pretty busy with work, but on top of that, I have been married for just under 4 years (August 30th, 07 will be the 4th anniversary) to Amanda Dame(Hilker). We have a beautiful little girl named Natalie Eowyn who is 16 months old. And thats the condensed work and family biography.
In conclusion, stick around and come back often for DVD movie reviews. I'll lay out my opinion and then you can tear it apart or agree completely in the comments. You can contact me directly at the Gazette by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have been told that I should have some cheesy line at the end of my blogs, like "See ya at the movies!" But, so far, nobody has quite found a cheesy enough line. If it's going to go on the end of all the movie reviews/blog entries, it's got to be really terrible. If you got an idea for one, put it in the comments and maybe we'll have a vote later on to see which one I should use. Maybe we'll give out a prize!

Hey...I would like to be able to post a photo with my comments. You know like a photo of myself with the blog or post that I leave.
Can you try to have a browse button added to the new page?

Cody Dame's response:Wondeful ideas! I would love to get a system up that would allow customization of your posts. Whether that be with photos by your name or even opening up the comment boxes to allow some simple coding to add in pictures or more. Lots of possibilities are available to us, but unfortunately are a ways off. We are delighted to have the new site up and running and now its time for us to make useful changes to it over the next year. Stick with us and we'll try to make some of those changes a reality.
As for the browse button, I'm not quite sure what you want it to do?

Tributes paid to victim of Colchester Castle Park murder victim
Updated 11:17am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in News
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'shy and polite' man who was killed in the early hours of Saturday morning.
James Attfield, 33, of East Bay, Colchester was found by a passerby in Castle Park at 5.45am and died shortly after despite receving treatment from paramedics.
Detectives are treating his death as murder and an investigation is continuing.
His mother, Julie Finch, paid tribute to her son who fought back from a car accident four years ago which left him with difficulty speaking.
"James was known as Jim to his family and was always shy and polite," she said.
"Over the years people commented on how good his manners were. He loved karaoke and would often visit local Colchester bars to take part. He also enjoyed playing darts and watching stand-up comedy."
See today's paper for the full story and tributes.

I am in a similar boat with my son Nicholas, he has something wrong with his brain after drugs were found in him, Nicky does not do drugs or smoke and contrary to what Police have said our son ate this rubbish without his consent in a cake.
When his medication goes off he becomes very wobbly and we have to watch him like a hawk.
There is a menace in this town of unlawfulness and in-civil behaviour towards each other that is reaching a level which is alarming.
I will count the days until the murderers are caught.
Rest In Peace Through The Mercy Of What GOD is out there James+

Car manufacturers are expected to sell 15 million new cars and trucks this year, according to the forecasting firm R.L. Polk and Company. Buying a car is a big investment. And Consumer Reports finds a number of new-car offerings are disappointing once people get the vehicle home.
AAA Manager Robert Sinclair says he's seeing more and more motorists who need a tow because they have a flat tire and their car didn't come with a spare.
Robert Sinclair: "They feel ripped off by their vehicle not having a spare, a brand-new vehicle."
Consumer Reports says eliminating the jack and the spare saves the carmaker money but could leave you stranded.
Rik Paul/Consumer Reports: "What you may find in your car is a sealant kit and a small air compressor. But neither is going to be any help if your tire's sidewall is damaged. You'll have to be towed."
Other rude surprises for new-car owners - economical cars like the Subaru Impreza come with expensive performance tires.
Rik Paul: "These are designed to provide better handling and braking. But beware - replacing a set of these tires can cost as much as a thousand dollars."
And watch out for carmakers touting "three-person" rear seats. Consumer Reports finds the center spot is often mighty tight.
Sara Brown: "There's really not a lot of room in here."
So try before you buy.
Rik Paul: "Another heads-up is salespeople may push for an extended warranty, but we say skip it because what you pay in premiums will likely be more than you'll save in repair costs."
And don't think you have to buy all- or four-wheel drive to get more grip on slippery roads in all kinds of driving situations. You don't.
Rik Paul: "That just gives you more grip for going forward and backward, but doesn't help when cornering or braking."
But all new cars can help you in those situations because electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes are standard equipment.
Cosumer Reports says if you have young children, another feature that can be disappointing is the LATCH anchor system for car seats. It's supposed to make it easier to secure a child seat. But Consumer Reports' tests have found LATCH anchors in many vehicles are tucked so far behind the seat cushion, they're very hard to use. So make a point of trying out your car seat as you shop for a vehicle.
