A little about me...
I love the rain..I love the snow(this means there is a fire in the fireplace). I love to cook and to bake. With the kids older nobody ever eats at home:( I'm a good person,I work hard, just three days a week. I have four days off. I like to travel,weekends or longer. I hang out at home with the grand dogs(four of them.) And two very sassy birds! I read,I sew,I crochet. I enjoy craft shows and movies in the park. I should like yard work but it seems the weeds are winning this year. I have two sons who still at home with me. School take precedence over moving out. I have a daughter who is in cosmetology school so it is hard to say what my hair might look like. I don't wear make up -- my feeling is I earned all those wrinkles!!
About the one I'm looking for...
Must love dogs...and what ever. I am looking for someone to compliment my life. I want those short trips to the ocean for a few day of fun and relaxation. I want some one who can meet for coffee just because. I want someone to see a movie with--your choice or mine,just met me there. Occasionally I don't mind dressing to attend a more formal event. I want someone who is comfortable being himself.Some who supports himself.
I'd just like to add...
We have been through a lot in our lives. I know these experiences have shaped who we are today. I can only hope we have taken the good away with us,learned from the bad and are truly able to move on with someone new.

Non-Conformist records go back to the mid-1600's when various groups refused to conform to the Church of England and wished to have religious freedom to worship in their own way. These groups include Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, Quakers, Methodists, Catholics and Unitarians.
The number of non-conformists is said to equal the number following the Church of England, making these records invaluable for your research. TheGenealogist is the official TNA publisher for Non-Conformist records and also provides the largest collection online with over 8 million records.
Another part of this set of records are the early registrations of births, marriages and deaths from various sources. They include the birth records at Dr Williams' Library in London, hospital records of maternity, overseas registrations for British citizens and those on board ships.
RG4: Non-Parochial Registers, 1567 to 1858
RG5: Birth Certificates from the Presbyterian, Independent and Baptist Registry and from the Wesleyan Methodist Metropolitan Registry
Protestant Dissenters' Registry
The Protestant Dissenters' Registry served the congregations of Baptists, Independents and Presbyterians in London and within a twelve mile radius of the capital. However, parents from most parts of the British Isles and even abroad also used the registry. It was started in 1742, with retrospective entries going back to 1716, and continued until 1837. Unlike RG4, RG5 contains only the birth records.
The increased requirement to provide evidence of birth led the Dissenting Deputies (representing Baptists, Congregationalists & Presbyterians) to establish a births register of their children in 1743 at the Dissenters' Library.
It subsequently became open to anyone, regardless of distance or denomination, provided a fee was paid.
The records contains details of three generations of a family (approximately 200,000 named individuals) and were originally registered at Rev. Daniel Williams' Library, Redcross Street, Cripplegate, London from April 6th 1743 to Dec 30th 1837.
Wesleyan Methodist Registry
The Wesleyan Methodist Registry was set up in 1818 and provided registration of births and baptisms of Wesleyan Methodists throughout England, Wales and elsewhere. The registers continued until 1838, with some retrospective registration of births going back to 1773. The Wesleyan Methodist registry opened in Paternoster Row, London in 1818.
The certificates and the register entry have the name and sex of the child, the name and address of the father, the name of the mother and of both her parents, the date and place of birth, and the name of the Wesleyan circuit, with the signature (or name, in the register) of the parents, the witnesses to the birth, and the baptising minister. Contains details of three generations of each family (about 50,000 named individuals).
RG6: Quakers (Society of Friends)
The Society of Friends' (Quakers) Registers, Notes and Certificates of Births, Marriages and Burials ranging from 1578-1841 across England and Wales. A number of original birth and burial notes and original marriage certificates are included. The documents in the series are arranged by Quarterly or Monthly meetings, which consisted of a county or combinations of counties.
This record set allows access to 1.3 millionindividuals, complete with images and full transcript complete with mini family tree.
RG7: Fleet Records
If you have lost a marriage in London or the home counties, the Fleet marriages may hold the information you're looking for. These are estimated to account for up-to a third of the marriages that happened in the country during their peak (Commission of Marriage Law in 1868). Until now it hasn't been possible to search these often overlooked records. The majority of the people marrying came from London, Middlesex, Kent, Essex, Herts, Bucks, Berks, Surrey and Sussex.
There are about 800,000 people named in the marriage records and about 2400 people mentioned in baptismal records. This makes it a substantial set of records that cover the period 1667 to 1777. See the Reference Books section on your Research View page for Mark Herber's books on Fleet Marriages.
RG8: Non-Parochial & Miscellaneous Registers
Registers of birth, baptisms, death, burials and marriages which were collected by the Non-Parochial Registers Commissioners of 1857, or which were later deposited for safe custody at the General Register Office and the Public Record Office. Some of these registers were authenticated by the Commissioners, and are marked to that effect; others were left unauthenticated because they arrived at the General Register Office after the Commission was dissolved. Some may have been refused authentication by the Commissioners.
Among the more extensive collections in this series are the registers of the British Lying-in Hospital, Holborn, which record particulars of births and baptisms; registers of burials in the Victoria Park Cemetery, the New Burial Ground, Southwark, Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, Hackney, and the Bethnal Green Protestant Dissenters' Burying Ground; registers of Chapels Royal at St James's Palace, Whitehall and Windsor Castle.
The Lying-in Hospital records include over 600,000 entries and cover the birth and baptism records of various children born in the hospital. It also includes death dates where it has been noted. They cover the period 1749 to 1868 and are very detailed; records can include the following information:- The Date and order of admission, Woman and Husband's Name, Occupation, Woman's Age, Parish, Time of Reckoning, Came in, Went out on leave, Returned, Delivered, Child Baptised, Woman Discharged, Recommender's Name.
The rest of the series contains the archive of the Russian Orthodox Church in London, 1721-1927. The records include not only registers of births, marriages, deaths and conversions, but also comprehensive general records on the day-to-day workings of the church. The usual language is Russian, with some Greek; there are a few documents such as certificates, letters and passports in English, French and German. These records are under the link RG8 Books.
RG32: Registers Abroad and on British & Foreign Ships, 1831-1969
Contains documents relating to births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials abroad, and on British as well as foreign ships, of British subjects, nationals of the colonies, the Commonwealth and countries under British jurisdiction. Events affecting some foreign nationals are also included.
Records consist mainly of certificates issued by foreign registration authorities and copies of entries kept by incumbents of English churches and missions, chaplains and burial authorities between 1831 and 1969. Many are in local languages and these have been translated for this service. The records also contain documents sent voluntarily by individuals to the Registrar General. For the Second World War period some notifications of deaths of members of the British armed services, prisoners of war, civilians, internees and deaths through aircraft lost in flight are included. The records covering deaths in Japanese and German prison internment camps include executions. Notifications of some post-war deaths of civilians in mining service are preserved and there is also material relating to the Channel Islands and a return for births on Lundy Island (Devon).
RG33: Foreign Registers & Returns 1627-1960
Registers of Overseas Birth, Marriage, Death and Burial of British Subjects including those onboard ships, and also Lundy Island Devon. Original registers, notebooks and copies of entries in registers kept by incumbents of English churches and missions, British embassies and legations, etc. These cover the period 1627 to 1960 and are very detailed. With these RG33 records, it is important to remember that a record may be recorded in a number of registers - but differences may occur from incorrect copying. The notebook entries are likely to be more accurate than the entries copied into the registers.
This record set allows access to 100,000 individuals, complete with images and full transcript, complete with mini family tree.
RG34: Miscellaneous Foreign Marriage Returns, 1826-1921
Marriage certificates issued by foreign registration authorities and churches, copies of entries in the registers kept by British embassies, incumbents of English churches and chaplains, notification of marriages of servicemen during service abroad, and documents deposited for safekeeping. These cover the period 1861 to 1921 with more than 38,000 individuals recorded in the overseas marriages records and include British subjects marrying abroad.
Many of the marriage certificates were issued by the authorities in the country concerned in the local language. These have been translated to provide a searchable database and links to a digital image of the original record.
Included in this series you can find:
RG36: Registers and Returns of Births, Marriages and Deaths in the Protectorates, etc. of Africa and Asia
Notifications of birth, marriage and death from 1895 to 1965, forwarded by officials responsible for civil registration under administrative ordinances in Nyasaland, Kenya, Somaliland, Uganda, Sudan, Palestine, Sarawak, Malaya, including Johore and Selangor, and British North Borneo.

Gilad Shalit: 5 years in captivity
It's 5 years since Gilad Shalit, a Franco-Israeli soldier, was kidnapped by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid in Gaza. Shalit was 19 and doing his military service when he was captured. Almost all young men and women in Israel undertake military service after leaving school. It's therefore easy to understand why so many Israelis identify with the Shalits and have joined an organisation known as "The Gilad Shalit friends' army".

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Staff photo by John Rawlston/Chattanooga Times Free Press - Sep 9, 2010 The Shipley Cemetery in Sale Creek has often been a place where teenagers congregate at night to party, leaving trash and vandalizing tombstones, according to people who live in the vicinity.
On the surface, Shipley Cemetery in Sale Creek is the embodiment of a haunted graveyard.
Some of its marked tombstones date to the mid-1800s. Many of them are flat, asymmetrical rocks with free-handed chiseled markings; several have no markings at all. Most of the one-acre site is cleared, but trees close in around the edges.
An attempt to scare up some ghosts led a group of teenagers to a confrontation with a rifle-toting man last Sunday, according to what the teens told police.
Tales abound about "Pitty Pat Hollow," the general area that includes the cemetery and Shipley Hollow Road. These stories, some dating back as many as 150 years ago, are included in several local books, including Ghosts of the Southern Tennessee Valley by Georgiana C. Kotarski.
Tom Pannell, who lives near Shipley Cemetery, said ghost stories are well-known in the community, including one about a woman who was kidnapped, murdered and thrown into a well near a cemetery. He said there is, in fact, a well near his property.
"I've wanted to pump it dry just to see," he said.
But people who live around the graveyard say it also has become a spot for parties and drug deals. Some think Sequoyah High School teacher Stacy Swallows was just protecting hallowed ground when he held the nine teens at gunpoint and wouldn't let them leave late Sunday night.
Swallows was arrrested on nine counts each of false imprisonment and aggravated assault. He bonded out of jail Wednesday but as not returned to work.
"I see a lot more strange vehicles coming in here than I used to," said Pannell. "You don't recognize them as being part of your community. In the past, we paid more attention to who's up here. Now you're kind of afraid to pull through — just get their tag number if you can when they leave."
On Thursday, the treeline around the graveyard was studded with cans and bottles, some with soft drink markings, but more with beer and liquor labels. A wadded-up pair of Ralph Lauren briefs lay discarded.
Some neighbors have said they've found used condoms, bras and panties in the cemetery. One said he visited a relative's grave and discovered two syringes.
Pannell said the ghost stories aren't as important — or as threatening — as the supposed crime and partying that takes place at the cemetery.
"Knowing that [there have been reports of drug dealing], I would've came armed if I would have been [Swallows]. I would have probably done the same thing," he said. "You don't know what you're involved in."
Arresting Mr. Swallows with multiple charges is a reflection on the weakness of law enforcement, nothing more. With the history related in this story, there should have been more monitoring by law enforcement instead of going after a gentleman who was trying to do the right thing. The kids can find other entertainment rather than raiding a cemetery after hours -- surely. Where were the caring parents?
Mr. Swallows broke the law by threatening people with a loaded assault rifle. The teens near the graveyard were not charged with anything because they did nothing illegal. It is wrong to assume that any teen is suspect because of items found in the area. They might have been put there by adults and at the most their crime is littering.
"Doing the right thing" ? The law says otherwise.
Hm-m-m. The news report said nothing whatsoever about the rifle being loaded, VisaDiva. Do you have your own sources of news or do you just make it up as you go along?
And trespassing IS illegal.
SOMEBODY called the cops, saint. Nineteen years old is hardly a kid. They are old enough to vote and/or die in some desert by order of their Commander-In-Chief.
By the time the cops got there, the teens would have been long gone.
"Doing the right thing" ? The law says otherwise.
Lots of people get charged for crimes, and then the charges are dropped, or a jury refuses to convict.
I know I would. Which means if by chance I get called for Jury Duty, I can't expect to serve on this case since I've made my decision without a trial, but I doubt it'll get that far anyway. And my remark about charging the teens if I was on a Grand Jury would probably knock me off anyway. Heck just reading the comments here would likely do it.
But that's what I'm saying.
Am I saying that this was the wisest thing? No. That it couldn't have reached the point where the man behaved criminally? No. But I am saying I refuse to support the lopsided charges made here.
Sorry didn't read the whole story but even if they aren't kids they still obviously have never lost any relatives or anyone close to them to death. I have relatives in that cemetary and for that matter other cemetaries too. I don't think it would be that much fun to be disrespectful to the dead. I guess i'm not 19 anymore and i'm not a kid. Sorry 19 is still young to me even if you can vote and smoke tabacco and be just a few years shy of drinking. At that age you've still got a lot of learning to do.

As I was reading the above comments I was asking myself if there was such a thing as citizens arrest anymore. I also live in Sale Creek and know that there are alot of vandalism here. It is terrible that Mr. Swallows has to go through this. Firstly was it not dark? How could anyone see what was going on in the cemetary and I would have done the same thing. The law shows up and investigates this . Well did they ? Seems to me he is getting the short end of the stick and maybe these people were out to just have a lil fun but honestly what would you have done if you resided next door and had put up with this kinda stuff before? Itleast he has enough gumption about him to try and help. I say he should be cleared of everything he is charged with. Let him get on with his life and leave him alone and next time maybe others will not be so eager to go ghost hunting where a known trouble spot is that neighbors are trying to stop the damage done.

Michel Faber's phenomenal The Book of Strange New Things is primed to become a classic on space, faith and, above all, devotion.
Michael Pitre's unforgettable debut, while not a memoir, is just as brutally honest as one in its depiction of the Iraq War, to which the author was twice deployed before leaving the Marine Corps in 2010. Pitre's harrowing story centers on three men: two ex-Marines now forging new lives back in the States, and an Iraqi who served as their interpreter and is now trying to gain asylum in this country.
I read The End of Absence with interest, because I am a member of what author Michael Harris calls the "Straddle Generation," the generation born before 1985, the last one to remember adult life before the Internet. Harris compares this moment in history to the advent of the Gutenberg press in the 15th century, when the written word became universally available. "Young and old," he writes, "we're all straddling two realities to a certain degree. In our rush toward the promise of Google and Facebook—toward the promise of reduced ignorance and reduced loneliness—we feel certain we are rushing toward a better life.
In his heyday, E. Forbes Smiley III was larger than life, a man who excelled at virtually everything he set his hand to. Although his name smacked of sitcom pretentiousness, he was never the rich buffoon. Raised in a middle-class, well-educated family in New Hampshire, Smiley became a superb college student, an engaging conversationalist, a gifted woodworker and a generous and loyal friend.
From the Duke boys' car named the General Lee on the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV show to his appearance on a U.S. postage stamp, Robert E. Lee has come to "embody and glorify a defeated cause," Michael Korda asserts in a monumental new biography, Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee.
Lantern Sam is a rare male calico cat who lives aboard a train called the Lake Erie Shoreliner (New York to Chicago in under 20 hours!) in the 1940s. Ostensibly in the care of conductor Clarence Nockwood, Sam is an intelligent and independent cat who has the ability to share his thoughts with some humans. Clarence is one of them, but when 10-year-old Henry Shipley comes aboard, Sam finds he can "talk" to him, too.
The automobile is one of the inanimate objects most subject to the practice of personification. How many besotted car owners have referred to their shiny vehicle as "she" and stroked the hood as one would perhaps stroke a woman? In All I Have in This World, novelist Michael Parker's eighth novel, a sky blue Buick Electra is as much a character as any other. Readers follow the car, in nonlinear fashion, from its birth to death; what comes in between is compelling, although the story takes a bit of time to rev up.
Finally, a book on New Orleans restaurants that feels like summer in the city: gusty, alluring, oppressive, extravagant and intentionally over the top. Eat Dat New Orleans is a love letter from ex-pat and food junkie Michael Murphy to one of the most complex and addictive cities in the world.
Wild, irregular and free, Henry Thoreau cut a distinctive figure in 19th-century Concord, Massachusetts, whether carving "dithyrambic dances" on ice skates with Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne or impressing Ralph Waldo Emerson with his "comic simplicity." More at home in the woods than in society, Thoreau began the first volume of his celebrated journals with a simple word that also functioned as his motto: solitude.
According to Spanish legend, medieval knight Rodrigo Díaz, known as El Cid, was valiant, honorable and faithful, loyal even to the king who unjustly exiled him. The reality: Well, maybe not. Modern historians say El Cid really existed, but he was a much more mercenary and self-interested character than the hero immortalized in epic poetry, ballads and film.What on earth does that have to do...

Almighty Thor is a 2011 Mockbuster produced by The Asylum, directed by Christopher Ray, and starring Richard Grieco, Patricia Velasquez, Kevin Nash, Cody Deal, and Gerald Webb. Not to be confused with that other Thor movie that came out in 2011.The story: Odin and his sons Thor and Balder are called to the cave of the Norns to learn Ragnarok is upon them and that Loki wants the Hammer of Invincibility to kick-start it. A bunch of Fight Scenes ensue, and then Odin hurls the Hammer of Invincibility away before Loki kills him. As Thor and a Valkyrie named Jarnsaxa race to retrieve the hammer, Loki is hot on their tails. The battle comes to a head in Midgard (a.k.a. Los Angeles) as Thor and Loki face off with the fate of the world in the balance.
Almighty Thor provides examples of:

Technologies are tools for doing or making things. They are a means to transform what nature has given into food, clothing, shelter, means of mobility, means of communication. Technology is a means to an end; it is not an end in itself.
But when we stop perceiving technology as a means mediating between nature and human needs and elevate it to an end in itself, we falsely give it the status of a religion. The Green Revolution bred seeds to respond to chemical fertilizers - they were called "miracle seeds". The father of the Green Revolution, Norman Borlaug, called the 12 people he sent across the world to spread chemicals by introducing new seeds his "wheat apostles". This is the discourse of religion, not of science and technology.
When the Green Revolution was introduced in India in 1965-66, no assessment was made of the impact chemical fertiliser will have on soil organisms, soil structure and the soil's water-holding capacity. No attempt was made to compare the yields of Green Revolution varieties and the outputs of indigenous varieties and mixed farming system. When we started to conserve native seeds through the Navdanya movement in 1987, we found many of the indigenous varieties outperformed the Green Revolution varieties in grain yield. They also outperformed them in total biomass yield - this really matters because while the grain is eaten by humans, straw is food for soil organisms and farm animals. Our work on mixtures and biodiverse systems of farming shows that as a system, indigenous biodiversity produces more food and nutrition per acre.
If we had a scientific approach to making choices about the technologies we use to produce our food, agroecology would win hands down. But the Green Revolution is promoted blindly as a religion, and not on the basis of science. Why else would finance minister P. Chidambaram announce in his Budget speech that the Green Revolution, which has destroyed the soil, water, biodiversity of Punjab, would now be expanded to eastern India?
Is the government trying to impose the cancer epidemic of Punjab on Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa and Jharkhand? Does it want to deplete and poison the waters of eastern India like it did to the waters of Punjab? Does it want the rich biodiversity of eastern India to disappear like the biodiversity of Punjab has disappeared to create monocultures of rice and wheat?
In the language of doublespeak, through a "memorandum of understanding" with biotech corporation Monsanto, the Punjab government is now introducing hybrid maize in the name of "diversification". Substituting one monoculture with another is not diversification, putting more diversity on our farms is. More than 75 per cent of hybrid maize goes for industrial use, especially animal feed. This is not a food system to reduce the hunger of people; it is a system to supply profits for the insatiable greed of corporations and industry. While feeding the hungry is the mantra, the real religion is greed.

By: The Dweeb
October 2003
Seven years of college down the drain indeed. The king of all college comedies has made it into various versions of dvd, but this latest edition is the one to own. The movie is beautifully remastered in all its toga wearing 5.1 surround glory. A fitting tribute to a film that puts most movies in this field to shame. Nay, it is the king of the college spoof, not even newer films like Old School can come this close. It's a timeless classic that is as funny today as it was when it was released way back in 1978.
I think that what makes this movie really click is the characters and casting. If you went to college, you can identify with a lot of the typical archtypes that can be found in on campus, it's almost universal everywhere. This is the film that thrust John Belushi into the limelight. It is probably his greatest role in film aside from The Blues Brothers, his talent as a physical comedian is unmatched by anyone today. Its all in the eyebrows.
There will definitely never be another John. His Bluto character is the best one in here, even though he doesn't get as much screen time. When one thinks of Animal House, you immediately think of Bluto. He isn't even a central character in here and he manages to steal the focus of the film, thats how much of an impact he had. The most oft quoted lines come from the man himself."Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" Bless him for giving the slob a place in this world.
Its a classic good versus evil film, well that's a stretch I know. The evil is personified by the nasty Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon) and his cronies. They just can't stand a good time can they? Wormer has a major chip on his shoulder and put them on "double secret probation." Whatever that means. He too has some memorable lines, the one that sticks out the most is "Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son." Wormer has been giving school deans a bad rap ever since then.
To go along with this great comedy, Universal included a bunch of extras that are worth watching. There are a lot of interviews with the cast members, a reunion of sorts. They also tried making this where are they now segment based on the characters. Not sure if it was meant to be cheesey, but it is. Kinda dumb actually. The more interesting is the documentary and cast interviews. Instead of a commentary track, they added an option like in POP UP Video's that show facts on screen as the movie is playing. One thing that disturbed me is Universal now forcing you to watch trailers for other dvd products, with no way of skipping to the menu. I sat through three ads and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Poor choice Universal! But, overall it still is a great package to own.

Apps for Healthy Eating
The holidays usher in the most challenging time of year for people trying to make healthy food choices. Calorie-laden food and drinks are the star attraction at every holiday gathering. With the advent of sweater season, it's easy to eat what we'd like and still hide it well until next spring. If you want to avoid the stress of showing skin next summer, though, it's wise to watch what you eat now.
It's just plain smart to be mindful of what you're eating, and there are plenty of apps to help give you a reality check of what you're putting in your body during all of the merriment. From social networking to scanning barcodes, here's some fun tools to support your quest to eat healthy over the holidays and beyond.
Fooducate (free in iTunes and Android Market)
Put the smartphone you're carrying around to good use the next time you're at the grocery store. Fooducate leverages your phone's camera to quickly scan the barcode on food items you're looking to purchase or eat, and quickly grades the food from A through F, based on the health content of the item.
Additional notes about that food are provided, including alternative healthier choices that you could be buying instead. For instance, my Ghiradelli Dark Dream chocolate bar received a D+; however Fooducate noted that it was also a good source of iron (bonus!) and then recommended alternatives including a banana.
Overall, the clean design of the app makes finding the info you need easy to read, and provides some alternative healthy choices. The app is free and available for both the iPhone and Android platforms.
Meal Snap ($0.99 in iTunes)
The premise is simple, use your mobile device to take a picture of the food you're eating, and the app will determine the rough amount of calories for it. Each meal can be tagged when you eat it (lunch, evening snack, etc), along with any notes that you want to post. You can then share out your meal on Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare if you so choose.
We recommend scanning pictures of individual items/plates as it can take up to a minute for Meal Snap to determine what it's looking at and calculate a range of calories. While testing the app, we took a picture of a plate of cupcakes and MealSnap had trouble identifying it (perhaps others don't eat entire plates of cupcakes?), but then snapped a pic of a single cupcake and it returned an appropriate amount of calories. This is an easy to use and clever app that can make you more aware of the calories you consume on a daily basis. Meal Snap is available on Apple devices for $0.99.
Pic Healthy (free in iTunes)
MedHelp in conjunction with GE healthyimagination brings you the crowdsourcing equivalent of healthy eating with this purely social app. Take a photo of what you're eating, rate its healthiness, and then share it out for your friends and family to see. They can either support your healthy eating choice, or boo your poor decision by voting on what you ate.
You get points when your friends or family rate your meal as healthy. Or, you can earn honesty points for owning up to eating something "bad" and rating the food appropriately. Similar to Instagram, you can follow and rate other member's food choices or make note of a particular picture of a meal that you like. Pic Healthy is free to download and currently for Apple devices only.
Weight Watchers (free in iTunes and Android Market)
While often thought of as a dieting site, this iPhone app (and optimized iPad experience) makes understanding your food choices easier by tracking your daily food consumption and assessing how much of the good and the bad that you're eating on a daily basis. There's a community aspect to the app so you can see how others are doing and feel a sense that you're not tracking your food alone.
There's also a complementary app called Kitchen Companion that gives you ideas for what to cook, and how to prepare those foods more healthfully. The Weight Watcher app is free to test drive on Apple and Android devices, but you'll need to be a subscriber to access full functionality and benefits of the app.
Munch 5-a-Day (free in iTunes)
Mindful eating isn't just for adults, it can be fun for kids to record and be reminded of their own eating habits. Munch 5-a-Day is a delightful app for kids to keep track of and reward their own healthy eating decisions. Embedded with fun farm animal sounds, kids or adults can click the fruit or vegetable button for each serving they've eaten that day. A calendar tracks progress so you can see how you're doing, and you can unlock cute badges along the way by achieving goals or sharing out your progress with friends and family. Munch 5-a-Day is free and available currently for Apple devices only.

I love how it not only rates your food but gives your healthier alternatives. Very cool!
Free in iTunes

Susan, Fooducate is free. Fooducate Plus is not.
I get so many sample
I get so many sample stuff for free its awesome. Actually it is not difficult to find them just search online for "Get Official Samples" It is the best way!
Dietitian in your pocket!
The Zestar app is different than the other apps listed because of its unique algorithm to provide meal recommendations based on your eating habits and activity level. Plus, it gives you a list of meal suggestions when you eat out. I've found it's the only diet app that I've been able to stick with!
Meal Snap is not free
Meal Snap is not free on iTunes, it's $.99

Although not a formally recognized genre, holiday films are movies that surely fit into their own special niche.
Holiday films are mostly family-friendly movies, and there are some that have stood the test of time and are perennial favorites for people of all ages.
Most holiday films wrap the audience in a feeling of warmth and nostalgia, remembering favorite holidays and special times with family and friends.
Very basically, a holiday film is a movie made with a specific holiday theme, whether it's Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Independence Day, or any other holiday you can name. The most popular theme by far though is the Christmas film.
The majority of holiday films involve family, sometimes very happy together, and at other times struggling to understand and get along. There is usually an obstacle in the way of the celebration, which is surmounted by the end of the film. Within the storyline there may well be a moral or life lesson to be learned as well.
A Christmas Dream (1945) is a short film produced by Castle Films. In the movie a little girl, with a bounty of new Christmas toys under the tree, discards her old favorite carelessly. Later, while she's sleeping, she dreams that Santa visits her and that the old doll comes to life. She is delighted as she watches him play and have fun with the other toys, and she realizes that not only the brand new toys deserve her love.
Arthur Pierson directed The Christmas Carol (1949). The film is narrated by Vincent Price and tells the story of the Dickens classic with Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, the Cratchit family and Tiny Tim.
The Pilgrimage Play (1949) was directed by Frank R. Strayer. In this film, a great movie to enjoy at the season of Easter, Roman Emperor Nero is persecuting Christians in 64 AD and Simon Peter, one of the Apostles, is sentenced to death and imprisoned. In his prison cell, Simon Peter tells the story of the life and death of Christ to two other prisoners.
Jimmy Durante and Terry Moore star in The Great Rupert (aka A Christmas Wish) (1950), directed by Irving Pichel. Rupert, billed as the World's Greatest Entertainer by his manager Joe Mahoney, is a dancing squirrel. The movie is about the Amendolas, a vaudeville family, that is struggling to make ends meet and they move into an apartment just before Christmas. The apartment is owned by Frank Dingle, a tightwad of a man. Joe Mahoney was a tenant in the building but is evicted by Mr. Dingle when he can't pay his rent because he can't sell Rupert's act and Rupert takes up residency in the attic of the building. Each week Mr. Dingle receives a check from his gold mine stock and, not trusting banks, deposits the cash into the wall of his bedroom – right into Rupert's paws. Overhearing the plight of the Amendolas, Rupert takes each week's deposit and drops it into the Amendola's apartment for them. And in the meantime, a romance is blossoming between the Amendola's daughter, Rosalinda, and Mr. Dingle's son, Pete.
Silent Night – Story of the Christmas Carol (1953) was produced by Coronet Films and, through narration and vignettes, tells how the beloved carol came to be written in Oberndorf, Austria in 1818.
The Little Lamb – A Christmas Story (1955), produced by Castle Films, is a short film telling of the birth of Christ... Starring Morris Ankrum and Maureen O'Sullivan, the film is about a lamb that has strayed from the herd and leads the shepherd's to the manger where the Child is to be born.
With a rather strange twist to the usual holiday film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1965) was directed by Nicholas Webster and has come to be known as one of the worst films ever made. The premise is that Martian children have become obsessed with Santa (having learned all about him from watching television broadcast from Earth). To prove there is no Santa Claus adult Martians journey to Earth to kidnap him, but end up at the North Pole, witnessing the truth for themselves.
A cute animated film, Santa and the Three Bears (1970) was directed Tony Benedict and Barry Mahon. A Park Ranger tells two bear cubs about the Christmas holiday and the cubs are so excited they can't sleep, much to Mama Bear's annoyance since she's tired and it's time to hibernate.
A Christmas Without Snow (1980) is a holiday movie directed by John Korty, starring Michael Learned and John Houseman. Zoe is a recently divorced woman who moves to San Francisco from Nebraska who must leave her son behind until she earns enough money to send for him. Alone is a new city and with no friends there, she joins the choir of her local church. At the church the Choir Director is beginning rehearsals for Handel's Messiah for their Christmas service. As the choir practices progress you get to meet and learn something of the life stories of the various choir members, and how their spiritual experiences at the church help them to overcome the tribulations of their lives.
Whether they're simply for fun or if they contain a lesson for us all, holiday films can bring back happy memories of good times. Wouldn't it be fun to add to your holiday mood by enjoying some of these holiday favorites on Matinee Classics?

Sure, we've covered this over the past year, futilely beating our chests and screaming into vacuums about voter identification, voter registration, voter purges, early voting and every other iteration imaginable on the issue of suffrage, but now – having just survived yet another August primary – we can only predict that the next 12 weeks are going to be a greased ballot-slide likely to turn 2012 right back into the embarrassment that was the Bush v. Gore nightmare of 2000. And somehow, "We told you so" doesn't cut it anymore.
In the waning hours of Aug. 16, the three presiding judges of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia finally said what everybody already knows: that cutting the number of early voting days down from 12 to eight is, in fact, racist. How racist? "In sum, Florida is left with nothing to rebut either the testimony of the defendants' witnesses or the common-sense judgment that a dramatic reduction in the form of voting that is disproportionately used by African-Americans would make it materially more difficult for some minority voters to cast a ballot," the ruling reads, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The federal judges ruled on the Florida early-voting law for the five Florida counties covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. So it's likely the state will have two different laws as far as early voting goes: Those five counties get to keep it the old way (12 days) while the rest of us – Orange County is not one of the minority counties covered – are stuck with eight.
If all of this sounds both abstract and confusing to you, it's meant to be. This latest move joins an avalanche of triangulated information regarding the Sunshine State's inability to be fair about fairness at the polls. On Aug. 14, Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner announced the dawning of yet another voter purge, this time based on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security database and not just, well, suspiciously ethnic last names. Additionally, we still have Democratic Congresswoman Corrine Brown's lawsuit regarding early voting up for a Jacksonville hearing next month. Everything is up in the air, and the election is only 12 short weeks away.
Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles says that, while early voting was stronger than in 2008, the early-voting tallies from last week's primary – like, whether black citizens were unduly affected by the shorter early-voting period – hasn't quite been figured out yet. And as for the purge, he says it basically depends on when the list is provided to him and whether the proper notice (letters, confirmations) can be executed legally. "The weeks are running out," he says.
Orange County Democratic Executive Committee Chairman (and outgoing state Rep.) Scott Randolph says that the party has shifted its focus from early voting to absentee ballots, noting that 25 percent of absentee ballots filed by Democrats on Aug. 14 were from first-time voters. But aren't absentee ballots exactly where Republicans typically point their noses and bark "voter fraud"?

Bible Strong
to watch the cataclysmic clash of heaven and earth as the mysteries of the book of Revelation unfold before you and come face-to-face with the key players of the end times drama.
Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today?
And if they are, would you know how to recognize them?
In Agents of the Apocalypse, David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players divided into chapters: The Martyrs, The Dragon, The Beast from the Sea, The Two Witnesses, and more...
As a group of Christians to name the most intimidating book in the New Testament, and most will say "Hebrews". And if you asked the author of Hebrews the same question, he would probably name his book. If you think the book is challenging as it is, be glad the author didn't write all he wanted to say. He confesses to backing off a bit for fear his "dull of hearing" readers would be lost (Hebrews 5:9-14)
In this first volume of four Turning Point study guides on Hebrews, Pastor David Jeremiah goes verse by-verse through the first five chapters-the most Christ-exalting and Christ-explaining sequence of chapters in the New Testament.

PUEBLO, Colo. With a sparkling defensive effort and stellar special teams play, the CSU-PuebloThunderWolves were able to open RMAC play with a decisive 27-10 victory over Adams State Saturday night.
The first half proved to be a defensive merry-go-round with each team exchanging positions constantly throughout the half. Both defenses were stout, only giving up a field goal apiece after one half of play.
The Pack passing game struggled, gaining only 34 yards the first half, even having a long would-be touchdown reception axed because of a penalty. Pack head coach John Wristen had to tell his team to put the lackluster half in perspective and move on.
"I just told the guys to mentally flush the half down the toilet," he said.
The comment seemed to spark the ThunderWolves, especially on special teams. To begin the second half, Marquise Enoch (Sr., Denver, Colo.) returned the opening kickoff 97 yards and taking it to the house, outrunning would-be tacklers in a sideline sprint, putting the Pack up 10-3.
"We practiced (setting up special teams) this whole week to make the defense pursue the inside of the kickoff coverage to open up the sidelines," Enoch said.
"The blocking was so good that even I could have run that one back," head coach John Wristen quipped about Enoch's return.
The Pack netted more kickoff return yards against Adams State (99) than in its previous two games combined. The unit is finally starting to fire on all cylinders, Enoch said.
"We had been slouching the previous two games (on special teams) and this week we practiced hard to make sure we were strong in that part of the game," Enoch said.
Late in the third quarter, linebacker Damon Schiele (So., Aurora, Colo.) picked off Grizzlies' quarterback Trevor Eggleston attempted screen pass and returned the interception 39 yards for a touchdown.
Up 17-3, the Pack finally got their offense rolling when running back Jesse Lewis (Jr., Loveland, Colo.) broke through on an 18-yard-run to extend the lead 24-3.
The ThunderWolves' defense was relentless throughout the game, only giving up a vanity fourth quarter touchdown after the final outcome was all but decided.
The cornerback pairing of Grant Crunkleton (Sr., Denver, Colo.) and Chris Brown (Sr., Aurora, Colo.) shined by intercepting the Grizzles three times inside the 10-yard-line on probable touchdown throws. Brown recorded two picks, each inside the five-yard line, and Crunkleton added a fourth quarter interception. All told, the duo had their hands in on six Grizzly passes, picking off three.
"On offense we have to manage the game, but tonight we just weren't sharp, and the defense picked us up," Wristen said.
The Pack added to their lead with a late fourth quarter field goal by kicker Kyle Major, to put them up for good 27-10.
This win marks the first time the ThunderWolves have started 3-0 since 1980, which is also the only time they have won an RMAC championship.
"It feels good to be 3-0 rather than 0-3," Wristen said about the start of the season.
Next week the ThunderWolves travel to Fort Lewis, who opened up their RMAC schedule Saturday with at 30-27 win over Western New Mexico. The Pack will be gunning for a 4-0 start as homecoming looms Oct. 2 vs. Chadron State.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Since you say your marriage was turbulent perhaps your wife knows on some level that you weren't entirely faithful throughout the course of it. You have both received shocking and painful news and are now dedicated to making the best of what time you have left. I hope that will be some considerable amount, and since the affair is well and long over, I agree that in his delicate period of rapproachment, you don't want to spend it dealing with the fallout of a past affair.
This doesn't mean you never tell your wife, but it may be something you decide to do later. Perhaps there will be a time when you can say to her that rededicating yourself to your marriage has been the sweetest time of your life. That you want her to know what her love and support has meant to you, and that you are sorry you weren't always the husband you should have been. She might say, "It doesn't matter now, I don't even want to talk about the past." Or she might want to know what you mean, or you might feel the need to explain you feel guilty about the past and don't want it to shadow your present. But even if you tell her, being honest in this circumstance doesn't necessarily require you to reveal with whom or for how long. You can just explain you don't want her to ever thing that there was dishonesty in your last years together, but that she should know this time together has been real and true.

The glider was towed to 3,000 feet msl, and soared uneventfully over the local area. At 1,700 feet, the pilot entered a left downwind leg runway 36; a 2,850-foot-long, 100-foot-wide, turf runway. The glider was too low on the downwind leg, and the pilot flew a tighter traffic pattern to correct for the low altitude. As the glider turned onto a left base leg, the pilot reported that it encountered a downdraft and possible headwind. The glider remained too low and struck trees on the final approach to the runway.

Economic levers shifting in favor of resource producers
By Scott Seaman, Shaun Levine, and Divya Reddy
Major resource-producing countries are shifting economic levers in their favor, taking advantage of consumer countries' thirst for commodities. Producer countries are increasingly restricting exports of raw commodities so they can be processed at home, creating jobs and moving domestic industry up the value chain. For countries that import natural resources, export restrictions can translate into higher costs that industries, labor forces, and consumers find difficult to swallow.
Moreover, when facing off against developing countries whose economies are growing quickly and becoming more sophisticated, developed countries may find that threats or offers of traditional development aid and tit-for-tat trade actions are less effective tools to apply pressure. This will be especially true as the gains from implementing new export restrictions expand, adjusting the cost-benefit calculation in favor of new restrictions even in the face of potential trade conflicts.
A case in point is the row between Indonesia and Japan over Indonesia's imposition in May of a 20 percent export duty on unprocessed mineral ores, as well as Indonesia's plans to implement a total ban on such exports in 2014. Unsurprisingly, these restrictions have made post-Fukushima Japan even more skittish about the security of its commodity supplies, and are fueling a lively exchange: Japan has made references to potential WTO action and allegedly threatened to ban Indonesian imports of photocopy paper, while Indonesia has indicated it could retaliate by restricting LNG exports to Japan.
While a trade war is not likely, these tensions highlight a growing trend that countries like Japan will inevitably face. Recent efforts by countries such as Brazil and India to limit iron ore exports to promote domestic steel production, and by a local government in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to force domestic copper processing, pose worrisome precedents from Japan's perspective.
Not only is there a risk that Japanese smelters will be squeezed out of the market by these changes, but associated job and revenue losses will pose challenges for the government. For example, Japanese firms and the government will face domestic backlash if they invest in smelting facilities abroad while cutting jobs at home, especially at a time when the economy is fragile and the "hollowing out" of industry there has become such a hot-button issue.
At the end of the day, Japan and other countries dependent on raw materials imports will have little recourse to counteract producer countries looking to take a greater share of the value-added processing market. That said, many of these producer countries (including Indonesia) will take time to build up their domestic smelting capacity and may not prove to be cost-competitive in areas such as labor and electricity supply.
So Japan may be able to buy some time and avoid the immediate economic and political consequences of a shifting resource landscape. But the overall trajectory probably won't reverse course. At some point down the road, Japan and other countries accustomed to having more leverage will have to make painful adjustments.
