This past weekend Maya hit a big milestone, one she has been waiting a long time for. She lost her first tooth!!
The story behind how she lost her tooth is one that will keep us laughing years to come. Her tooth had been wiggly for a few weeks but late last week it started to get really wiggly and it was apparent that she would have her first encounter with the tooth fairy in the not too distant future. All weekend she was fiddling with it and asking over and over again when it would finally fall out. Sunday evening, at that twilight part of the day when the sun is going down and it can be hard to see, the kids were out front playing with a few of their neighborhood friends. They were all horsing around and one of Maya's friends jumped up and started to run without realizing that Maya was right in his path. He ran right into her, the top of his head hitting her mouth. You can imagine where this is going, right? Maya started crying and trying to spit something out, that was her tooth. The impact had knocked out her tooth. At first she was really mad and upset but then it hit her that her tooth had finally fallen out, the thing she had been waiting forever for! She was all smiles after that!
She put her tooth in a little baggie with a note to the tooth fairy that this was her very first lost tooth and hung it from her bed post. That night the tooth fairy crept into her room and left her an adorable, mini sized note and $5 dollars (she got a little extra since this was her first lost tooth and the circumstances were a little out of the ordinary). She was so excited the next morning to find the treasure in her little baggie
As I mentioned in her birthday post, and as I mention every month when I do these monthly write ups, time is flying by at an incredibly pace. I truly can hardly believe my little baby is already a year old.
Weight: 18lbs 1oz (24th percentile on the breastfed baby chart)
Height: 28.5 ins (26th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 ins (72nd percentile)
Nora is rocking the peanut status. As her doctor said at her well child check up the other day, she decided to grow her brain these last few months instead of her height and weight . Nora is almost exactly the same size Anna was at a year!
Nora's well child check up went well. She is hitting or exceeding all her expected milestones. Like her sisters before her she is ahead on verbal communication. Apparently, Lorne and I breed talkers. I'm going to say they get that from their dad. The doctor said she looked perfect and the only small concern that came up after her finger prick blood screen was slightly low iron levels. Low iron levels are fairly common in breastfed babies so we left the appointment with a long list of iron rich foods to try and hopes that the next finger prick blood screen at 15 months shows improved numbers.
Nora has been busy this month learning to talk and making progress on the walking front. She is very chatty and already has a few words she says, or at least sounds she makes to mean certain things, including mama (mommomma), dada, balloon (boon), dog, bye bye (sometimes), hi, that and more. She also communicates well with nonverbal ques like pointing, out stretched arms when she wants up, etc. I have to say it is so nice to have good communicators at this age. It usually isn't hard to figure out what she wants between her verbal and nonverbal ques.
But, she isn't only working hard on talking she is also really trying to figure out walking. She crawls like a little speed demon and is quite the accomplished climber. Recently she figured out how to stand on her own without having to pull up on anything. You should see the pride on her face when she does. She stands there waiting for praise She can walk pretty well holding onto our hands or pushing something in front of her and yesterday, while I was at a meeting at Maya's school, she took her first couple of independent steps. It won't be long now.
This is such a fun age. I love watching her explore and learn. She plays so well independently and with her sisters. She adores our cat Penny and our neighbor's dog. She loves going for walks and pointing out all the trees and birds she sees. She loves to dance and will dance to any music be it the little tunes her toys play, someone in the house singing or songs on the radio. Her two favorite songs right now are This Is How We Do by Katy Perry and Knights of Shame by Awolnation. Both are guaranteed to get her moving! She laughs easily and loves when she makes other people laugh. She is super cuddly and loves to snuggle. She often ask to be picked up or crawl into my lap just so she can snuggle into me. She also gives kisses (those big open mouth baby kisses) and has started blowing kisses too. If I could pause time for a bit right now I totally would. I just can't get enough of it all.
I know time is going to continue flying by and before I know it I'll be writing a post about her at 2. For now I'll just keep trying to soak it all up and tuck the memories of these moments away in my mind for later when I miss having a baby around.
On this day, one year ago, the sweetest little bundle of baby was born.
Sometimes in life we are given little gems. Little surprises that weren't necessarily on our radar, or in our plan, but end up being exactly perfect. If I had planned for this baby and dreamed of her I couldn't have ever imagined how perfectly she would fit in our family. She feels like she has always been here, though it still feels like just yesterday I was holding her in my arms for the very first time.
From day one she has been this calm, happy, inquisitive, snuggly baby. Watching her grow this past year has been such a joy and a blessing. I am so incredibly grateful to be her mommy.
Happy 1st Birthday, Nora!! I can't wait to see what the next year, and the many years after that, have in store for you.
I'm a bit behind on getting this posted this month. We've been busy enjoying this glorious summer!
Our simply irresistible Nora turned 11 months old a little over a week ago. I cannot quite wrap my head around the fact that in just 3 weeks she will be 1! This past year has flown by at crazy warp speed. This time last year I was hugely pregnant and worrying that Nora would decided to arrive early and interrupt Maya's first day of school and now here I am making plans for the big First Birthday celebration.
Height: ~28.5ins (50th percentile)
Weight: ~17.5lbs (10th percentile)
What can I say about this gem of a baby that I haven't said already. She is truly the sweetest, happiest baby I've ever met. It is rare to see her without a big, beaming smile on her face. She hardly ever cries, and when she does she always has a good reason. One of her favorite things to do right now is to crawl up to you, give you a snuggle and then roll into your lap and lay down. She did it with my friend's 8 year old son the other day, he happens to be one of her favorite people, and it was the sweetest thing ever!
This kid is an explorer. She is all over the place. She mastered the stairs and is always taking off upstairs. However, she hasn't figured out how to come back down so she'll sit at the top of stairs and yell "MAAAAAA" at the top of her lungs until I come get her. In the last few days she has started climbing onto our fireplace hearth and into the little kid chairs we have. She can even climb back down so I'm guessing she'll have the down the stairs thing figured out before too long. Walking is not far away for her either, I'm sure. She can stand independently with no hands, for quite a while too! She can also walk while pushing something or holding onto someone's hands. I'm so not ready to have a walker. I'm happy if she decides to take her time, but knowing her she won't
Nora loves food. Eating is one of her favorite things to do and giving her something to eat is the easiest way to calm her down if she is fussy. Her favorite foods right now are fruit of any kind but especially strawberries, peaches and grapes, peas, bread of any kind, waffles and pancakes and pirate's booty. She loves pirate's booty so much she can even recognize the bag and goes crazy if she sees anyone with a bag of it!
Even though she is eating big people food like a champ Nora is still getting most of her nutrition from breastfeeding. She is still nursing about 6-7ish times a day and showing no signs of slowing down. I nursed both other girls until they were 20 months old so I'll likely do the same with Nora. Since she is my last baby I am in no rush to speed up the weaning process. As long as I am nursing her I can pretend she is still my little baby and not growing up super fast right before my eyes.
This last month of her first year will fly by in the blink of an eye just as the 11 months before it. Before I know it we'll singing Happy Birthday to our little 1 year old and watching her make the biggest mess ever as she dives into her birthday cake. I get a little teary eyed thinking about her leaving babyhood behind and becoming a toddler. I'm not ready for the baby phase to be over. In the beginning when you are sleep deprived and rocking a helpless newborn to sleep their first birthday seems so far away but then you blink and they are suddenly these little independent beings who are learning to walk and talk and it is hard to remember them as that tiny little helpless buddle they were such a short time ago. Sigh.
Our sweet baby Nora. Our third and last baby is already 10 months old. Time is going by so incredibly fast. It seriously feels like I was just in the hospital having her and yet here we are just a couple of months away from her first birthday.
Weight: ~ 17.5lbs (about the 25th percentile)
Height: ~ 29ins (about the 50th percentile)
Nora is seriously the happiest baby. People are always amazed how content and smiley she is. She very rarely cries, and never for no reason. She wakes up happy, chatting to herself in her crib. When I put her down for a nap she never cries, she just babbles away until she falls asleep. Her personality is so relaxed and sweet.
This month has seen more leaps and bounds in the development department. She is a super speedy crawler and is all over the place chasing her sisters or the kitty. This past week she master climbing the stairs. She hasn't figured out how to get back down but she can climb up the stairs at warp speed. She loves exploring both indoors and out. While we were on vacation last week we found ourselves at the beach (a rocky, pacific northwest beach) and she crawled all over the rocks and climbed around on the driftwood.
Although she is curious and adventurous and a mover, she is also incredibly sweet and loves to snuggle. In the midst of her play she will randomly crawl over to me for a snuggle or to give me a kiss. She adores her sisters and loves to watch them play and tries to play with them. I love watching them all play together.
Thanks a tooth explosion in the last couple of teeth Nora now has 5 little teeth and I'm pretty sure she is working on a couple of more as we speak. Those new little teeth are helping her advance her foodie status. The girl loves to eat. She loves to feed herself so she is pretty much completely off purees and is eating all finger foods. She loves fruit of any kind, cheese, bread, yogurt, waffles and pancakes, corn on the cob is a huge favorite, she's tried ham and turkey and likes most vegetables she has tried. I'm still breastfeeding and that is going really well. This third go around with nursing has been so easy. I haven't run into any challenges, which has been nice.
Nora is such a joy. She embodies happiness and you can't help but smile when around her. We love her to pieces.

Hi, i'm Eugene Clifford from Bearhawk
Recently, it was determined by an exclusive panel of world leading scientists, philosophers and scholars that BEARHAWK is the greatest independent band currently in existence.
In fact, the sheer power of BEARHAWK's movement and message caused this very team to eschew their lab coats and doctorates, and take up playing the ukulele while wearing thick, itchy, woolen jumpers. That's what BEARHAWK is about. Liberation. Freedom. Twine.
We hope that BEARHAWK can inspire you to find your own inner thread, and weave magic on the spindle of your own heart.
Our Music is here
Our Twitter is here
yeah after the last update I have been stuck on -6k claim blocks but it is slowly going down as I play but I kinda wanted to claim some area's lol.

ClearLag sometimes eats all the mobs currently loaded, including Golems. Unfortunately this is a significant problem for Thaumcrafters because in the latest version pipes are so completely nuked that Alchemy Golems are the only way to deal with essentia that isn't horrifically laborious.
If "golem lag" is actually a real thing I believe there's a config setting in Thaumcraft that can alter the tick rate of golems; and if it's not a real thing but just an accident is there some way we can add...
Can The Server Please Stop Eating Golems?
as you probably know im trying to get optifine to work on my resonant rise instance, however it does not seem to like it. it just crashes as it loads, and closes the window. im running a pretty low specs computer and i want to be able turn everything down, to get more frames and make it playable if someone knows how i can get it going, or has got it to work in there game i would be forever in debt
so first time trying to log on to the server and i think im already doing something wrong, I am disconnected by the server because a bunch of resontant induction stuff isnt on the server
anyone know how i can fix this?
Just thought I'd let everyone know I'll be back to my full capacity within a week.
Essentially I quit my job with nbn in wa, and am currently driving back over to vic
So I'll be back around very soon.
is moonstone enabled? i can't find any and need it for ars magica 2...
I put down the Ender Block from Ex Aliquo Mod and it crashed the server I need someone to go there and break it and maybe put it on the Ban List.
A Little while ago I was chatting to a few ppl online about the hardware they are playing on
So, I thought i'd post a pic of my PC and specs below:
CPU: i7-930 still running it's summer overclock of 3.5Ghz
Mobo: Gigabyte G1 Sniper
Ram: 12GB Corsair Dominators 1600mhz C9
GFX: 2 x MSI GTX680 Lightnings in SLI
PSU: Silverstone 1000w Platinum

So far I haven't seen a single one of these.
So I will pay a Dragon Egg or 2 max bee traits of your choice to the first person who can provide me with a pair of these in-game the next time I'm on!
Poolside at BEARHAWK residency, the Bearhaus. This magical light display spontaneously erupted out of the pool during one of our neo-pagan rituals. It later formed into a caco-daemon, and went on a rampage throughout the neighborhood, terrorising, yet delighting the surrounding community.
Calling out for ma(ma bear). Sometimes I have involuntary moments where I spasm out and cry for my true mother. The sound, really, is like a Muh…Muh…Muh sound. It's quite soothing actually.
BEARHAWK's central time keeping mechanism at Spirit Wind studios in the Bearhaus. The interesting thing about this clock - which was designed by the Swiss time master Klaus Einwontraap - is that it is programmed to change time zones at random intervals. During a studio session, we can switch from Tokyo time to Morocco time instantly, and without warning. This affects the creative process dramatically and also ensures things are fresh. But it's really started to mess with our TiVo. We now have 700 hours of "Fun with walls" to get through.
This was a photo taken during BEARHAWK's journey into the Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður forest during 2005 to gather inspiration for the album Penetrate The Light With Wands Of Delight. Here, our Icelandic guide, Vrrgströeð, fends off invisible hostile spores that threatened to devastate our contingent. Apparently, if you breathe them in, they make you lose your sense of childhood wonder, and take away your desire to take photographs of every thing you see and upload them to all manners of social media networks. For 2005, they were ahead of their time. Thanks to Vrrgströeð, we still retain this ability - with GUSTO.
A delicious glass of source water, something I imbibe ritually before every BEARHAWK show to give my eyes vitality, and my beard full, lustery magnificence.
Made with 1 part Hydrogen, 3 parts Dreams, 1 part Sky Dust, a splash of Hedonistic Dissonace and a dash of Triangle.
This cat, Malcolm, a friend of BEARHAWK's, was born like this. However, later, he decided to fit in like all of the rest of the cats, and had himself dyed and got a job in an insurance brokerage. Quite sad really, considering his beautiful plumage and extensive knowledge of late 60's proto-jazz. However, it shows us that conformity affects the feline community too, don't think that animals are free by proxy.
You cannot fight the fact that you, one day, will turn into some sort of a high speed licorice-all sort. Accept it with dignity, and move on.
Current arsenal of camera options for upcoming BEARHAWK documentary/exhibition. Strictly no-digital in these parts. Its not for any aesthetic reasons, but rather, medical ones. I have a rare, potentially explosive condition, called bitresdystheria, which prohibits me from interacting with any device that uses the numbers zero or one. As I cannot use a computer for fear that I may burst into small pieces, I actually record these posts into a small bird, who then translates them back to my webmaster, Crank.
Silvia Sliver, BEARHAWK's resident mystic and part-time tax advisor. Here, she is consulting the oracle of the snake god, Horde-Rib, about BEARHAWK's fiscal situation for the 2007-2008 financial year. The oracle delivered an image of a flaming triangle emerging from my beard, which signified that our outgoing claimables needed proper receipt verification to be considered legitimate.
For the 2002 BEARHAWK album 'All Enshrined In Spice and Thyme' , I commissioned the work of the hugely popular Danish wunderkind rhythm trio Fremtiden Tilbage Sektion. Here, Anders and Brede Walhertog, and Bergitte Jensen relax after an intensive 12-hour session, where we laid down around 134,000 takes of a single drum pattern. I ended up scrapping the files in the end, as my vision had changed. The trio then put a Danish curse on me, wherin for the next 6 months I would have nightmares of aggressive bread products. I don't know if you have ever been attacked by an enraged, giant Pølsevogn, but it's not nice.
A shot of my fourth wife, Nikkola Von-Paste. She was a Swedish model who was born with not only the deformity of having fish scales for legs, but also, her head was literally just a neck with a triangular pointy bit sticking out of the top. It made conversation difficult, which ultimately led to the divorce. But her breasts were exceptionally inspiring - they drove the concept behind BEARHAWK's 52nd album "Ta-tas for Da-Da".
This kind of thing gets me so horny its untrue. It's a STICKSty-nine. Oh yeah.
The mystical Tudor cottage of Straply-Upon-Broadstead. BEARHAWK recorded the critically monstrous LP 'Tweed Ghost' here. However, due to the fact that this structure is 1/8th scale of a normal building, the band suffered considerable neck strain, and lawsuits are still in progress, so we can't talk about that too much. However, bravely, our largish Tuba player, The Magestic Bronson, had his legs amputated for the recoding, so he could fit in.
Psychedelic dog named Alfred. Knew how to program a Moog Modular synthesizer at an expert level. Ate an entire bag of pool cleaner in 1997, gained cognitive function, and learned advanced interior design. Died in 2006 after massive pulmonary embolism when he realized he was actually a dog.
Japanese tale of Kesunogi, the cat-man, who was shamed out of the land of the winter-time winds by Omoshoiroi, the magestic owl-prince, after a bitter dispute over land taxes.
This is a portrait of the late, great Sumner Fellows, BEARHAWK's B3 Hammond Organ master. This depiction was beautifully painted by Hitachi Onegashi after Fellows tragically died in 2005. I'm not sure what the crocodile means though, as Sumner died as a result of electrocution from touching three phase at one of our shows. Although it could explain the lightning bolts shooting from his eyes.
BEARHAWK's primary sound system. This particular unit doesn't play records made after 1904. Which means that there is a grand total of 17 records available to play. Just the way I like it.
Native falls, Minnesota. It's where I learned to wield a hatchet, hunt for deer, and bury my tears deep into the womb of the tree mother.
Bright Eyes (by allandavisjr - with a broken camera!)
Scenes by Noah Kalina.
Secret demo version of 'Pug' from BEARHAWK's forthcoming album, The Ark Of Eugene. This will be a rarity, and it's offered exclusively to anybody on the internet.

Air Pollution May Raise Autism Risk
Pollution & Autism Risk: How to Explain It?
Exactly why pollution is linked to autism risk is not certain.
However, some pollutants have been shown to limit the action of a gene important in early brain development. Expression of this gene has been found to be reduced in autistic brains.
Air pollution can also cause inflammation, and that may play a role, Volk says.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the University of California Davis MIND Institute, dedicated to research on autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Volk reports receiving support from Autism Speaks to present research findings at a medical meeting.
It's too soon to make specific recommendations for those in high-pollution areas, Volk says.
However, she says, they may want to follow the same recommendations now in place for those who have respiratory disease, such as avoiding outdoor activity on high-pollution days.
"I think we need more study to see when a woman might be most vulnerable," Volk says.
Air Pollution & Autism Risk: Perspective
The study builds on other research, says Andrew Adesman, MD, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Steven & Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York in New Hyde Park.
He reviewed the findings.
Researchers now suspect that genetics and environmental factors often interact in the cases of autism, he says. Air pollution may be one of those factors, but is likely to be one of many risk factors, if it bears out.
"Although this study provides further support for the notion that exposure to traffic-related air pollution is a risk factor for autism, most children with autism do not live near highways," he says.

AUSTIN—With the eyes of Texas poised on the State Legislature as it makes a fourth attempt to settle badly needed transportation funding, House Speaker Joe Strauss Wednesday appointed State Representative Sergio Muñoz Jr. to the Select Committee on Transportation Funding.
The committee is tasked with creating a consensus funding solution for the state's aging transportation infrastructure. The challenge is to create a funding mechanism that allocates significant revenue, in the neighborhood of $1 billion per year, to the state's transportation infrastructure, without increasing taxes or fees.
With two special sessions now under their belt, Governor Rick Perry has called a third special session of the legislature to settle the issue. Perry's legislative call came just minutes after the House and Senate adjourned the second special session without a solution to the transportation funding issue.
"I am honored to be called upon to work with my colleagues in the legislature on this very pressing issue. It will take the right mix of Rainy Day Fund dollars, allocations, and a vote of the people, as well as a lot of level heads to reach an agreement on how to proceed," said Muñoz.
"Rest assured that I will continue to make public education my first priority, followed closely by a host of human services programs; but we cannot abandon a strategy to spur economic activity, which in turn very quickly funds the State's priorities… developing and maintaining transportation infrastructure is within that strategy. I also believe that providing a responsible funding stream for transportation projects increases public safety by establishing an efficient and safe transportation infrastructure system," added Muñoz.blog comments powered by Disqus

SQL for Dummies: Demystifying The WordPress Database
It's only SQL, but we like it. This quote, slightly differently used by The Rolling Stones in 1974, is supposed to help you through the hard times. These will occur sooner or later. Unless you're working with a flat-file CMS such as FlatPress, the database forms the most important part of the Content Management System. And this database can get corrupted, eeeek. WordPress, too, is no exception to this rule. WP uses its database to store and retrieve information as and when needed. The following article gives you a crash course knowledge of the WordPress data storage.

Quick tip for GNOME/Unity users: If you want to add a delay to a startup application, the easiest way to do it is to add the "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay" parameter to the application autostart desktop file.
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay is supported by GNOME and Unity and won't work with Xfce, LXDE, KDE, etc.
To delay the startup of an application under Unity or GNOME, you need to edit its autostart desktop file. Here's what you need to do:
1. If the startup desktop file for the application you want to delay is located under /etc/xdg/autostart/, copy it to ~/.config/autostart/ (".config" is a hidden folder in your home directory so press CTRL + H to show hidden files/folders)
2. Open the autostart desktop file with a text editor (e.g.: open Gedit, then open your file manager, navigate to ~/.config/autostart/ and drag and drop the desktop file from the file manager to Gedit) and append the following line to that file:
(where "NN" is the number of seconds you want to delay the application startup by)
3. Save the file, log out and log back in - the application should autostart with the delay you've set under step 2.

Two-year-olds enjoy playing alongside other children, but usually keep to themselves. Although your child is starting to build his independence, he still very much needs your help. Especially when conflicts arise, you'll need to step in to calm everyone down and teach appropriate behaviour.
Your child will extend trusting relationships to other adults and to children with whom she plays frequently. She'll show preferences for these adults and children. For example, she might hug a friend when she arrives at preschool, or go to her favourite child care worker for comfort after a fall on the playground.
Your child will show a strong sense of self as an individual. For example, he'll say 'No!' to an adult's request, simply to assert himself.
She'll recognise feelings when emotions are labelled by adult. For example, when her teacher says, 'I know you feel scared about that', your child might calm down a bit. She'll also increase her understanding and use of language related to emotions, and will be beginning to label feelings she recognises in herself and others. For example, she might say, 'Mummy happy now' or 'Why you cross, Papa?'
Your child will enjoy playing alongside other children, but won't interact a great deal with them. For example, she might sit in the sandpit next to another child, but play independently with buckets. She has a comfortable awareness that the other child is there.
Depending on his exposure to other children, your child might start to have favourite playmates and warm bonds with others. For example, he might ask another child about her absence from child care if she's been away for a few days.
Your child will show awareness of others' feelings and might try to give basic help. For example, she'll watch to see if the teacher will come to help a crying child, and might also pat or hug the sad child.
Your child will still look to adults for comfort when conflict happens. For example, if a child takes all the crayons at child care, your child might run to the teacher and hug her around the knees for attention and help. With a lot of adult support, he'll begin to develop some strategies for resolving conflicts constructively. For example, with a teacher at his side, he might say, 'It MY shovel, Darrell!'

GUESTBREAKER: You Don't Like Watching Degrassi
Hey you! Come sit down, I was just about to see what's on TV. Oh look! Degrassi's on! Oh my god, it's a marathon. Awesome. Wait, why are you getting up? Where are you going? What do you mean you don't like Degrassi?! Do you also dislike free samples and Mexican beer?! Yeah, I get that we were both in high school a long time ago. So what? Well, of course the writing and acting are awful! I don't think you get it. It would be really hard to laugh at how ridiculous the plots and characters are if I actually identified with them. Look, instead of arguing with me, why don't you just leave? The episode where Spinner gets shot is on and I want to watch it in peace.

According to NBC News, a new report called "The Red Tape Report" by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America came out last February. It said that progress had "stalled" at 400,000 veterans waiting. But in April, the numbers dropped a little more, to 344,000, as reported by The Washington Post.
These numbers are still unacceptable. But the media have allowed President Obama to boast about minor achievements that aren't achievements at all. He is deceiving the public by choosing the highest point and measuring against it, while ignoring his historical numbers—and the real-life impact of his inaction.
Advertisement-content continues below
Quite frankly, the Veterans Affairs Department is doing a bad job on disability benefits as well as on the health care waiting lists, which are a travesty. At a nighttime House hearing this week, Philip Matkovsky, representing the Veterans Affairs Department, said that he expects the numbers released regarding veteran health care waiting times will only get worse, given that they are still uncovering the true numbers in light of the systemic fudging of scheduling data.
President Obama should not simply have expressed "regret" over former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's resignation—he should have acted much sooner. And he should deal with the disability backlog instead of claiming false victories that use statistical deceit at the expense of our veterans.
It does seem that the Office of Inspector General is getting serious about the health care waiting list scandal. Richard J. Griffin, Acting Inspector General at the Department of Veterans Affairs, said at the June 9th hearing that he had sent criminal investigators to 69 locations besides Phoenix to look into allegations of criminal misconduct, and that he was working with the Department of Justice to determine whether the behavior of some employees merits criminal prosecution.
But some in the media like to explain the veterans health care scandal as Congress' fault, in terms of a lack of funding. "Unlike Benghazi, the IRS and most other GOP-hyped scandals, the VA scandal is real—and now that they've got a big scalp, with the resignation of Secretary Eric Shinseki, they're sure to be hungry for more, because that's just the way that they roll," wrote Paul Rosenberg for Salon. In fact, both Democrats and Republicans expressed their concern about the VA waiting list scandal.
Advertisement-content continues below
Rosenberg quoted MSNBC's far-left commentator Rachel Maddow as saying that "…Veterans are treated more like food stamps, or education, or any other kind of funding that Republicans won't pass in the House and that they will filibuster in the Senate, because they don't want to pay for it."
Rosenberg and Maddow were not only commenting on the VA health care scandal; they were commenting on Congress' treatment of veterans in general. And they're off the mark.
As Chair of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Jeff Miller (R-FL) pointed out at the June 9 hearing, "VA has requested and Congress has funded IT enhancements to include a new scheduling system, which has been dubbed a failure by [the Government Accountability Office (GAO)]. The scheduling replacement project was $127 million over nine years, and it was hindered by management weaknesses."

Scholarship Hopefuls: Clean up Your Facebook Page
There's nothing like finding out you just won a full-ride scholarship worth nearly $200,000.
That's what happened last week at Trimble Tech High School in Fort worth. Six students are headed to TCU for free, if they choose to accept the Community Scholars scholarship.
Most do.
"I was kind of like, 'Is it real? Am I dreaming?'" said Trimble Tech High School senior Joselin Barajas, one of the award recipients.
"A lot of our students have worked really long and hard to meet that goal to go to college and to go for free..." said Trimble Tech counselor Nichole Drumgoole
If you're applying for scholarships, there a few things to consider. There's a lot to be done before you get to celebrate.
"It's been a lot of late nights staying up trying to perfect essays, trying to fix glitches. Most of the time I'll bug my teachers or counselors about it, 'What can I do now? What do I do now?'" said Barajas.
In nearly a decade as a high school counselor, Drumgoole says the rules of getting a scholarship are changing.
"They look at students, more community service, what students are doing outside of school," said Drumgoole.
Those who review your application, may not just be looking at your application.
"Don't put anything on your Facebook page that you don't want repeated, that you don't want anyone else to know," said Drumgoole.
According to a survey by Fastweb, a scholarship search site, about a quarter of scholarship providers now use social media sites and search engines in the reviewing process.
So, be careful what you post.
"It can come back and haunt you," said Drumgoole.
"I try to keep my personal life away from [Facebook]. That's more of just a place to still communicate with my friends," said Barajas.
We checked with some Tarrant county schools. TCU, Texas Wesleyan, and UT-Arlington all say they don't check up on applicants through social media. Still, spokespeople admitted, they know schools that do.
"A lot of the high-dollar scholarships, they can be really picky. A lot of the ivy league schools, they really can really get into the student's background," said Drumgoole.
So, keep it clean, if you're hoping to strike gold.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

Vonage works around Verizon patents
Vonage is still smarting from that legal tete-a-tete with Verizon, but after throwing together a trio of patent workarounds, it's confident that a full recovery is on the way. Today, during an earnings call with inventors and industry analysts, the pioneering voice over IP company said that, thanks to its ongoing patent battle …
My Eleven Cents Worth
Vonage has a lot more to do than fix patent problems if they want to keep customers.
We moved our two lines away back in the Spring, mainly due to the patent problems and fears of losing a long-held number. It took until August for them to admit we had even left them (how one remains a customer without a dial tone never was answered).
They also delayed allowing the port of our existing numbers to the new provider for as long as possible, so they could keep charging up until the last moment.
All that could have been forgiven, though, had we ever once gotten an actual, human reply from them regarding the cancellation of the account & the problems porting out.
It was nothing but canned non-answers, each one appearing to come from a different cubicle clone who didn't bother coming up to speed on the history of the case, preferring merely to click 'paste' and be done with it.
Getting customers is fairly easy. Keeping them, though, apparently requires more work than Vonage cares to offer. They do present themselves as a cool, hip alternative to Bell, but when it comes down to it they act just like any other monolithic company, uncaring of those who at the end of the day are the only reason their coffers remain full.

Boot PowerPC Macs via USB 2.0 drives
I think only the G4 PowerMacs with Firewire 800 built-in and Macs with Airport Extreme have chipsets that support USB 2. So a G3 iMac will only ever have USB 1.1 capable hardware, maxing out at 1.2MB/s speeds.

New Delhi: The Congress Working Committee on Tuesday did not discuss the demand for a separate state of Telangana in its meet, that was largely dominated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's economic reforms.
Telangana was not discussed even as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chadrashekhar Rao has been camping in Delhi hoping for a formal announcement from the Centre on Telangana.
Earlier, sources had also indicated that a Congress-TRS merger may be on the cards. Sources in the Centre had said that the government reportedly wanted the TRS to join it before it considers taking up the matter.
TRS sources had said that serious discussions were going on over the matter. However, even as speculation of discussions on Telangana were rife before the CWC meet, Congress spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi made it clear that the issue did not figure in the meet.

By Margaret Carlson

When Mitt Romney's campaign manager was asked on CNN whether the Republican primary campaign had pushed his candidate too far right, his response immediately attained Internet immortality, at least for this news cycle: "Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign," Eric Fehrnstrom said. "Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up, and we start all of over again."

The correct answer was a simple no, along with some blather about how voters will see Romney as the moderate alternative to Obama. It was probably not a good idea to evoke the image of a three-year-old shaking a toy so that he can draw a better stick figure. The mental picture is far too apt.

Instead, Fehrnstrom committed a Kinsley gaffe: He inadvertently spoke the truth. What's worse, he made it memorable. Many candidates have to move to the center for the general election, perhaps none more than Romney. But that movement is not given a name, especially not the name of a popular child's toy. Toy metaphors are to be used sparingly and constructively, like Legos (helpful for building a new tomorrow) or Superman (helpful for fighting evil). Sketch-a- Mitt was just too easy.

Fehrnstrom should be forgiven. A lack of sleep and the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from finally winning the contest that wraps up the nomination (no matter the nomination-deniers in the press) lulled him into honesty. He blurted out the wet dream of every press secretary, usually buried in his deep unconscious, that any candidate can be made over into his ideal of the perfect candidate. Almost every campaign memoir has as its theme, "If only he'd listened to me."

Then again, Fehrnstrom could have been demonstrating the evil-genius strategic vision he's admired for (he helped Scott Brown win Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts). On the face of it, as one of the more prolific shape-shifters in politics, Romney is the worst person to be associated with an easily erasable image. At the same time, any attempts to describe him as "resolute" -- the word he chose when asked to come up with one word to describe himself in the last debate -- are bound to be difficult, to say the least.

Fehrnstrom must know it is too late for Romney to be seen as resolute, even if Romney doesn't. Fehrnstrom's only sin was in making his transformation of Romney 5.0 into Romney 6.0 too vivid.

Kigali, 15 January 204
Yesterday, 14 January 2014, Dr Vincent Biruta received Professors James G. Losi and Ryon Lamberton together with some students from St Mary's College of California at the headquarters of the Ministry of Education.
In his welcoming remarks, the Minister of Education thanked the whole group for their willingness to learn about Rwanda and share their experience particularly in education .
Both Professor James G.Losi and Professor Ryan Lamberton teach at St Mary's College of California . Each January , for the past four years, they bring students from that College to Rwanda and stay for a whole month .The purpose of their visit to Rwanda is to study the culture, learn about international development and work on a variety of service projects. This year they brought a delegation of 13 students.
Discussions with the Minister of Education focused mainly on the quality of education, how to teach history of Rwanda in schools, one University of Rwanda and Technical and Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) .
When asked their perception about Rwanda, one of the students answered :"It is unbelievable to see how Rwanda has rebuilt itself after the 1994 Genocide of Tutsi". All the students commended the efforts of the leadership to build the country and praised the cleanness seen everywhere they passed.
Founded in 1863, St Mary's College of California is located in the West Coast of the USA . Their current visit to Rwanda will end on 30 January this year.

text: Tsk-Tsk Dept. September 5, 2005 Issue Nor'easter By Ben McGrath Table of Contents It won't be long now before the hurricane season has passed, and, with it, the volatility of coastal winds. Bring on the mono-directional storms—the unrelenting northerly gusts, the odd gale-force southeaster. For Edgar Comee, of Brunswick, Maine, this transition marks a heightened alert in his self-appointed role of storm-watch monitor. His ears prick, his eyes narrow, the better to flag inexcusable mentions of that most unfortunate contraction: "nor'easter." When he comes across the word, while watching a "cruddy local ABC news anchor," as he puts it, or in the pages of a national magazine (see Talk of the Town, March 14, 2005), he dispatches a ready-made blue postcard. "Now hear this!" the card begins. "The use of nor'easter to describe a northeast storm is a pretentious and altogether lamentable affectation, the odious, even loathsome, practice of landlubbers who would be seen as salty as the sea itself." It continues in this baroque manner for several more sentences, and concludes, "You will of course accept my view in this matter in good part and will never again use nor'easter, at least in public, and thus oblige." The card is signed, "Your most humble petitioner, Edgar Comee, Chairman, Ad Hoc Committee for Stamping Out Nor'easter." The northeast storm of which Chairman Comee speaks often originates when cold air from Canada mixes with warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, causing heavy offshore winds that veer toward the coast from a northeasterly direction. Comee, who is eighty-eight, estimates that he has sent out between one and two hundred carping postcards since the early nineteen-nineties. His is a committee of one—even his wife, he says, "couldn't care less: she comes from the mountains of North Carolina"—albeit with any number of unwitting honorary members, kindred spirits whose handiwork, in the form of letters to the editor and op-ed pieces, Comee has compiled in a clippings file. For instance, there was the seafood entrepreneur Ed Myers (now deceased), who, while writing for a publication called The Working Waterfront more than a decade ago, identified the frequent use of "nor'easter" as a "festering sore in today's marine and weather journalism." And G. W. Helfrich, whose letter of September 8, 1994, to the Portland Press Herald reminds us that "New Englanders exercise considerable invention in avoiding the letter 'r,' " and thereby makes the compelling case that the contraction, if there is to be one, must properly be spelled "no'theaster." Comee is partial to the uncontracted form, but vouches for the authenticity of "no'theaster." "I picked up the fact to drop the 'r' in conversation with some of the Portland pilots who guide ships into the harbor," he said the other day, omitting an "r" or two of his own. Comee's seafaring credentials, it should be said, are impeccable. He was a Navy ship captain in the Second World War, and covered waterfront issues as a journalist for the Press Herald in the fifties. After some years in Washington, during which he worked as a press officer for the State Department, he retired, bought a thirty-six-foot ketch in Chesapeake Bay, and moved on board, along with his wife and two dogs. They sailed the East Coast for eight months—and managed, as he recalls, to steer clear of any treacherous storms. So where does "nor'easter" come from? Is it, as some of Comee's like-minded pedants contend, a relatively recent and misguided invention of landlocked meteorologists who want to sound authoritative? (M. S. Hayden, another writer of letters to the Press Herald, once proposed that the term "was probably created by authors from Indiana who wrote about the sea.") Well, maybe not quite so recent. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the contested spelling dates as far back as 1836, when it appeared in a translation of Aristophanes. "By the way, unfortunately, there is a school of higher education in Maine called the University of New England—a rather presumptuous title, but there they are," Comee said. "It's an institution of fairly recent history—it's come up within the last twenty-five years—and, lo and behold, its athletic teams are known as the Nor'easters. Oh, God, yes. My grandson attended the school and, knowing my interest in this subject, dragged me into their gymnasium, and there's this banner, twenty feet long or more, that says, 'Nor'easters.' So I did send off one of my cards to the president of the university." The team name remains. As the good fight drags on, Comee has taken up other small causes. Not long ago, he sent another ready-made grievance down this way—purely for inspection. It resembled a business card, and on one side he had written, "Useful in doctor's or dentist's office." On the other: "Use of first names by younger persons in dealing with the elderly is presumptuous, demeaning, disrespectful and condescending, as though the offender were speaking to a child in need of guidance, correction or possibly a pat on the head and/or bottom." Don't call him Edgar. Ben McGrath began working at The New Yorker in 1999, and has been a staff writer since 2003.

We should have seen it coming. Alyssa Milano probably always was a closet Pittsburgh Pirate fan. She writes that her favorite player of all time is Roberto Clemente. In the photo below, we found her rocking new Pirates gear. Heh, I thought she was an LA Dodgers season ticket holder? I do know that she always seems to get her picture taken in windy places. It's odd.
Anyway, welcome aboard Alyssa! Wait, wait…you have a Dodgers blog? Make up your mind! I am so confused. Go Bucs. Enjoy the opener everyone. Favorite quote from Milano:
|"It got to a point where every script I was being offered involved some kind of nudity. And I had to say to myself, 'Okay, people want to see the girl from "Who's the Boss" with her tits out.' I had to decide between eating and doing what I love, acting, or getting a job at the Burger King. So I went hooters to the wind, and now I live in a mansion. Deal with it."
