Gauge houses vs quakes, Filipinos told
Speaking for the government, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Director Renato Solidum Jr. said a diagnostic tool will be made available to the public beginning this year to determine if houses are safe to live in.
"We'll launch that tool within 2014's first quarter," Solidum said, adding that Phivolcs is pursuing such campaign, noting earthquakes are natural occurrences in the Philippines since it lies in tremor-prone Pacific Ring of Fire.
He noted the tool features 12 safe construction-related questions that every user must answer using the numbers one or zero to get a total score that'll indicate whether or not their houses are safe.
A score of 11 to 12 points indicate a user's house is safe, he said.
He said a score of eight to 10 points indicate the user must already have his or her house inspected.
"Scores below eight points indicate the house is dangerous to live in," he stressed.
Phivolcs reported this week several tremors below magnitude four occurred in Tagbilaran, the capital city of Bohol province.
Solidum said those tremors were still aftershocks of the magnitude 7.2 killer earthquake that rocked Bohol on Oct. 15 last year.
The earthquake's occurrence further fuelled Phivolcs' call for compliance with the National Building Code and other construction-related regulations.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said 222 people were reported dead from that earthquake which also left nearly 800 victims injured and eight persons missing as of Oct. 31.
NDRRMC likewise reported the earthquake damaged several infrastructure and almost 67,000 houses in Bohol, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Iloilo, Siquijor and Guimaras provinces.
Authorities observed substandard construction in most of the damaged houses.
"Follow structural design and engineering practices when constructing a house or building," Solidum said.

It is sad to report that nearly 90% of all dieters rebound to old weights after dieting. This typically happens when the diet is nutritionally lopsided, and when the dieter becomes bored with the food and the approach.
There are no shortages of diet plans for women. Some clearly have a track record that is substantially better than other diets.
So instead of listing 50 diet plans for you to look at, we are going to focus on just three – plus the most effective weight loss supplement on the market – Dr. Oz's miracle in a bottle.
These plans simply have proven to be the most effective diet plans going into 2015, the most fun diet plans – and the ones that dieters tend to stick with through all the ups and down. And they each have very strong nutritional science behind them.
We will start with a quick summary of these diet plans. More detailed reviews are further below.

Cons: Some emphasis on exercise, but this is not an exercise plan.

Pros: Delicious meals are rated #1 in taste and nutrition. Very affordable and giving dieters strong results.
Cons: Meal plans are more regimented – and work well for those that need structure.

Diet Plans For Women Who Have A Serious Problem With Carbs
The South Beach Diet is often referred to as the food lovers diet, and is currently used by nearly one million dieters.
What makes South Beach so valuable is its effectiveness in losing weight – and quickly – while significantly improving your health.
The diet was founded by renown cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston to help his patients stay healthy.
Since this diet is so effective in helping dieters lose weight, it is important to review how South Beach accomplishes this difficult task.
How South Beach Helps You Lose Weight Quickly
It starts with balancing your blood sugar. Spikes in blood sugar are responsible for cravings, and also promotes storing bad carbs as body fat.
The South Beach Diet helps you manage carbs so that you prefer healthy carbs that burn quickly for energy, and avoid slow burning carbs that have a tendency to be absorbed as fat.
It has been established that this diet lowers your cholesterol and blood pressure – which makes it one of the healthiest diets on the market.
South Beach has three distinct phases where you kickstart your weight loss the first two weeks, then move to a steady weight loss, and finally to maintenance. In all three phases, bad carbs are replaced with good carbs.
The reason the South Beach Diet is so successful is that it is so painless to be on this diet. When you see that a cardiologist wants his patients on this diet, you know that it will be successful.
- Easy to stay on this diet – not painful
- One of the few diets that works quickly to lose weight
- Balances blood sugar exceedingly well
- Effectively manages hunger pangs
- Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol
The South Beach Diet doesn't really address exercise. It is not intended as a whole-life fitness program, but rather as a highly effective diet program that can really shed the excess weight.
Bottom Line
Controlling blood sugars is the foundation of this diet, and it is extremely effective. You are able to painlessly transition to healthy eating – and weight loss – without really noticing the changes.
Dieters have been raving about the ease of losing weight on this program, and commenting about finally learning how to control their worst enemy – bad carbs.
Highly effective diet that costs only $5 per week.
You can get your free customized weight loss plan at the South Beach Diet Website
Diet Plans For Women Who Need A Boost In Metabolism
As we get older, pretty much from our early 20's going forward, our metabolism slows down.
We used to eat more and just burn it off. Now some of it stays with us.
One of things we ignore in our busy lives is our metabolism. Thankfully, Jillian Michaels knows all about that, and has a first class diet program built entirely around healthy eating and firing up your metabolism.
We all know Jillian Michaels. Her teams won 7 out of 8 seasons on NBC's The Biggest Loser.
If you thought it was all because of her drive for exercise, you missed the main point. She taught her teams how to lose weight by boosting their metabolism through the foods they ate.
Jillian has one of the largest and most helpful diet communities online at her website. Her online support includes calorie counters, interactive weight journals, fitness diaries, diet calculators, printable exercise and cardio routines, food guides and over 100 delicious recipes.
You will have access to her numerous bestseller dvds and books at a very healthy discount. The thing we like most of all is the support system of weight loss buddies that you will have at her website.
- You learn which foods boost your metabolism into hyperdrive
- Why you must have carbs and fats in your diet in order to lose weight
- Which foods you must never eat after 8:30 p.m. to avoid fat
- How to trigger the hormones that tell your brain that you are full
- Which foods you must have in the morning to trigger fat-burning
Jillian is using the latest research on the human genome and micro-nutritional science to design the most effective diet to burn fat and keep it off. You are allowed to eat most foods you like, and you won't get that desperate feeling that you are still hungry.
Jillian is very focused on exercise, and the truth is that if you combine her top-drawer nutritional science with exercise you will drop weight even quicker. The main takeaway is if you can learn her approach to losing weight just based on her dieting approach, you win.
Bottom Line
Jillian Michaels has put together one of the finest online diets ever – if not the very best – and her diet community and positive motivational spirit is second to none. Dieters are ecstatic with the results, and they love the community that she has created.
For a mere $4 per week, this program is an outright steal.
Jillian is offering a free customized diet plan at the Jillian Michaels Website
Diet Plans For Women Who Need Structure In Their Diet
Many diets meal plans promise they taste really good, but very few deliver.
According to dieters, Diet to Go is without reservation the most delicious meal plan they ever tried.
Meals are delivered once per week to ensure freshness, and meal plans can be customized for a 5 or 7 day week.
Dieters can also customize a 2 or 3 meal per day plan, and have the ability to lock in favorite foods and ban disliked foods.
Plans are also customizable for food allergies and other sensitivities. Plans come in 1200 calories and 1600 calorie options.
You get to choose from three professionally prepared plans: Low Fat, Low Carb & Vegetarian.
- You get to eat delicious meals which makes it easy to lose weight
- The program offers ultimate flexibility in plan options
- Dieters get to choose from Low Fat, Low Carb, or Vegetarian plans
- Choose 5 or 7 day plans as well as 2 meal or 3 meal per day plans
- Dieters can ban undesirable foods and lock in favorite foods
Dieters rave about the deliciousness of the meals, and the total lack of need to cheat. They also like the fact that this is the lowest priced mainstream diet meal plan in the market.
Diet meal plans are best geared for dieters that need structure to be successful. If you have tried mainstream diet plans and failed, this may be the approach that turns the tide.
Bottom Line
Many diet meal plans have come along since the 1970's, and most (to be perfectly candid) had less than stellar tasting food.
Finally a diet meal plan arrives that has the best tasting food you will ever experience in a diet meal program. Kudos to the chef!
The food is delicious and the plans are affordable. Dieters say they typically lose 2 – 3 pounds per week. It's a no-brainer.

What is the generic version of Micardis HCT 80 mg/12 mg?
- Q: What is the generic version of Micardis HCT 80 mg/12 mg?
- A: Micardis HCT is a combination of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists that keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is in class of drugs called thiazide diuretics (water pill). It helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. The combination is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Brand name prescription drugs are protected under patent. When the patent expires, other drug companies can start manufacturing and selling a generic form of the drug. These generic products are considered to be equivalent to the brand name product once evaluated and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA requires manufacturers of generic products to show that their product meets specifications for identity, strength, purity, quality and potency. Generic drug products are usually less expensive than their brand name equivalents. The patent for Micardis HCT will not expire until 2014, so no generic form is currently available. Other medications may be available to treat your condition. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are having trouble paying for your medication. There may be programs available to assist you. Consult your doctor or healthcare provider for specific recommendations. It is important to take Micardis HCT regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Do not stop or change the amount of medication you take without talking to your healthcare provider first. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Sarah Lewis, RPh

Three things we don't know about you.

Ok ladies, let's liven things up and have some fun. Also, don't forget to go down to the Fun and Games section for well, fun and games (and to get your mind off TTC).
Tell us three things about you that we don't know.
1) I like hot weather -- the hotter the better.
2) I read all the works by
|Tue, 06-22-2010 - 2:20pm
Oh this is fun!
1). I am an ex-wall street analyst who regrets wasting years working when I should have just been having kids. No money, shoes, purses comes close to the joy I feel with my kids....I'm a secret Michelle Dugger wannabe!
2). I have run 4 marathons
3). Sh...big secret...I love romance novels!
|Tue, 06-22-2010 - 12:26pm
Hmmm, you see I've been here so long, I don't know what I haven't already divulged!
1) I am a huge computer geek, my dh jokes with me that I can't live without my research tool and I've joked about inventing a hairband that conceals an internet connection so I can google 24/7.
2) I was the (frontwoman) of a band for 10 years. I miss those days but I don't miss the lack of sleep and stupid drunk dudes at every gig. ha ha!
3) I'm a Scorpio and can't sleep until I've figured something out.

June 26
field appears to have recovered from the hail damage. It seems like
it has really grown this past week. Our temperatures have been in
the upper 80s and low 90s this past week and we've had good soil
moisture, so the plants are making up for the cool weather and slow
growth in May. As you might guess, it is warm and windy again today.
In our marked row you can see
the light green leaves, which is the new growth that has emerged
since the hail damage. That's not unusual for the regrowth to have
lighter green leaves than the older leaves. Do you see some
crabgrass starting to grow again? I think so, too! Click here
to see what the field would have looked like without using a
herbicide to control the weeds.

A very interesting self portrait method that most of us really love is mirror shots. Have you had one yet?
Well this shot by fafascinado was taken in the streets of London and is one of the most loved self portraits in the Community!

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have released a new song called "Walk Like a Giant," which appears on their newest album, Psychedelic Pill.
The track is being released in its full-length 16-minute version as well as a shorter radio single. This cut from the album is reminiscent of Young's youth, when he believed the music he was making was going to stir up a revolution.
"I used to walk like a giant on the land / Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream," Young sings. "Me and some of my friends, we were gonna save the world / We were trying to make it better / But then the weather changed and the white got stained, and it fell apart / And it breaks my heart to think about how close we came."
This song features several long passages, which incorporate free-form guitar solos typical of the style of Young and Crazy Horse.
Psychedelic Pill will be released on October 30.

India's Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that gay sex is illegal, overturning a 2009 decision by the Delhi High Court, which decriminalized homosexual sex. Gay rights activists reacted to the step with anger and disbelief. Follow our live blog as we track reactions to the court's decision.
India's gay community, rights activists and religious groups have been awaiting this judgment since March 2012, when arguments in an appeal against a 2009 Delhi High Court ruling legalizing homosexuality came to a close.
The High Court said that a 19th-century provision of the penal code that prohibits people from engaging in "carnal acts against the order of nature" should not apply to consenting adults, including same-sex couples.
But religious groups challenged the ruling, saying homosexuality is a Western import that hurts Indian society and family values.
On Wednesday, Supreme Court judges overturned the lower court's decision, recriminalizing homosexual sex.

Daniel Ricciardo had some problems with his Red Bull throughout the day, but Force India are looking solid.
Red Bull
Daniel Ricciardo: "We didn't get much running this morning due to an engine issue, but it was okay and we recovered well in the afternoon. The track's always fun here, for a track with so few corners it's very challenging and with the low downforce braking it's very difficult. Obviously we want to be a bit further up, but I think we can chip away at it tomorrow, the Mercedes will be quick, but if we can sneak into the top 5 in qualifying then we'll have a good crack at the race. Getting temperature into the tyres is tricky, especially for the first timed lap."
Sebastian Vettel: "It was quite slippery out on track; this year's cars are down on grip and we have minimum down force in Monza. It was a good day for us, we didn't have any problems and were able to do a lot of laps and test some things. It's important to get Friday right in order to be able to build on that for the rest of the weekend. The tyres mean it should be a one stop race on Sunday, but we will see. I think some struggled to get them to work; there's not so much different between the medium and hard tyres here. I think tomorrow should be better, as it should be warmer and the track will start rubbering in a bit. I felt a bit more in charge of the car today."
Force India
Sergio Perez: "Today was a promising start for our weekend and we managed to do everything we had planned. We have good pace already, especially during the long runs, where we look competitive. Now it's just a matter of getting everything right and having a good qualifying position tomorrow to make the most of our strengths."
Nico Hulkenberg: "This morning was quite normal for a Friday, but the afternoon was a bit more difficult and it was not easy to find a nice rhythm. I just didn't find the balance and harmony I was looking for and that showed in the lap times. So we need to dig deep into the data and see what we can improve for tomorrow. Apart from that it was a successful day with the tyre work and collecting the long-run data."
Toro Rosso
Daniil Kvyat: "It was a busy day today but unfortunately we are not yet where we want to be. With the warm temperatures, it was a bit tricky out there and tyre management wasn't easy. We still need to work on the car balance, which I wasn't very comfortable with today. So we still have some homework to do tonight in order to get the most out of the car for the rest of the weekend."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "I wasn't really happy with the car today. Tonight we'll look at all the data with the engineers with the aim of getting the right solution for tomorrow and as much performance as possible for the rest of the weekend."
Esteban Gutierrez: "In the morning we went through our planned programme. We tried different mechanical set-ups and changed the aero balance on the C33. At the beginning it was ok, but with the modifications that we made at the end of the first free practice I did not have a good feeling. In the afternoon we changed the modifications back again to the ones from the beginning of FP1, and the session was overall ok. I think we can still improve the car a bit further. We are looking into it for tomorrow, and we will also concentrate on the grip evolution."
Adrian Sutil: "It was a good Friday. As I could not run in the first free practice, I was not driving much today. At the beginning it is always difficult to find a good rhthym. In general the second free practice was quite good, but I am not totally satisfied with the balance of the car yet. We have to work on having less understeer. On the other hand, we completed our planned programme without any issues."

The town of Hull is looking to protect water quantity and quality for town residents.
The Hull Town Board adopted the "Report on Groundwater Quantity and Quality" by the town's Water Study Task Force on Oct. 18, and now is beginning to make residents aware of the situation as the study's findings are being analyzed.
The issue of safe and uncontaminated drinking water has become and major public health goal throughout the nation, but Town Chair John Holdridge admits that protecting the quality and quantity in the town is dependent on the action of individuals rather than government.
The town decided to conduct the study on the quantity issue and then expanded into the quality issue as the city of Stevens Point constructed Well No. 11 east of the Stevens Point Municipal Airport off Highway 66 in the area of town of Hull residences.
Holdridge said Tuesday, April 23, the well isn't supposed to impact wells in the town, but the town wanted to have information before the well began pumping and some residents are now reporting less water flowing from their wells, prompting them to install deeper wells. "That's a concern," he said.
A key part of the study was municipal water systems are highly regulated, Holdridge said, but private wells aren't, and Hull has about 2,000 private wells.

A sturdy and reliable marker, it is one of the most popular choices for woodsball. It is very customizable, with attachments for stocks, sights, grips, barrels (duh), and body shrouds. The patented cyclone feed system will feed up to 15bps, right out of the box. the rail is a 3/8th inch fit, it uses a front velocity adapter, and the bottomline mount is custom to the A-5. It is field strippable in under 60 seconds (but i cant do it).
The A-5 is known for its sturdyness, shown by countless videos of A-5s being run over by trucks. It uses no batteries, and can (hypothetically) operate while very, very wet. (it can rust, though). It is a louder marker than most, and not many upgrades can quiet it.
The stock marker is pretty bad. the money saved by getting this instead of a PM5 can be used to upgrade it to an acceptable level. the first upgrades should be (in no particular order): barrel, stock (optional), sight, HPA.
My experience with my A-5 is positive, though expensive. I have upgraded it with an E-grip, Hamerhead Battlestikxx 14", JCS dual trigger and voodoo folding stock w/ RVA, ADCO sight, R5 offset hopper, HPA, CP bottomline adapter and bottomline w/ on/off, and polished internals. it can hold its own with many electro markers, shooting 15+ bps. all the upgrades have made it pretty heavy, though.
no batteries, 15bps, cheap, sturdy, reliable, can run CO2 or HPA, simple and easy to clean, upgradable.
slow RoF unless upgraded, large, heavy, needs upgrades, loud.
For The Sniper:
a good starter marker. it can upgrade to your style of play, and since youre planning on OSOK you dont care about the RoF. you will need a better barrel for OSOK. Specops upgrades like the air-thru stock are a good idea for the prone, low-profile shooter. heavy, but you dont care either, because you dont plan on moving that much. loud, but a fair sacrifice to aviod the profile of an ion with a halo B. if you plan on getting wet, dont give it a second thought. this marker can handle whatever you throw at it, unless you throw another A-5 at it.
if you want to add on, feel free. but if you need to blatantly disagree, PM me and i will probably change it.

Recount under way in judicial race
Updated On: Aug 17 2012 03:09:00 PM EDT
A recount began Friday in the Tuesday election for 4th Judicial Circuit, Group 1.
Incumbent Judge Brian Davis received 50.3 percent of the vote in a four-way race, but he needed 50.5 percent to avoid triggering an automatic recount.
If Davis were to fall below 50 percent in the recount, he would face the candidate with the next highest number of votes -- Melina Buncome -- in a runoff.
Buncome received just over 24 percent of the vote.
The circuit covers Duval, Clay and Nassau counties, so all three are recounting the ballots and must report to the state by 3 p.m. Sunday.
Even if Davis maintains over 50 percent of the vote, he would be on the ballot in November because of write-in candidate Gerald Wilkerson qualified in the race.
This entire election might be rendered moot because Davis was nominated earlier this year to be a U.S. district judge in Florida's Middle District. It is unclear when Congress will hold a confirmation hearing for this and other spots on the federal bench.

A highly successful collegiate golfer and accomplished instructor, Jenny Coluccio is now in her third season as head coach of the USF men's and women's golf programs.
In addition to her team success, individuals have flourished under Coluccio's tutelage, including four 2011 All-GPAC selections on the men's side (Shea Stoltenberg, Troy Klongerbo, Levi Smith and Kyle Schock) and two from the women's roster (Kali Gottsleben and Jordan Wilkinson).
While Coluccio is proud of USF's on-the-field success, she may be more proud of the success her golfers have experienced in the classroom. The 2010-11 Cougar men compiled an impressive team grade-point average of 3.2 while the women amassed a team grade-point average of 3.5. Six Cougars were included on the Dean's List (3.5 or better); Davee Johnson, Kali Gottsleben, Troy Klongerbo, Cody Thomsen, Lex Moore and Kyle Schock, who graduated from USF with honors in May 2011.
Coluccio joined the USF athletic department in March 2010 after two seasons as a graduate assistant coach for both golf programs at Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, S.D. During her tenure at DWU, both the men's and women's teams claimed the 2008-09 GPAC regular-season championship. In addition, the Lady Tigers made their sixth and seventh NAIA national championship appearance while the men made their first-ever trip to the national tournament.
Coluccio began her collegiate golf career at NCAA D-III Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. She attended Rhodes College for one season and helped the Lynx achieve a No. 15 national ranking before transferring to NCAA Division II Drury University in her hometown of Springfield, MO.
Coluccio was a three-time All-Great Lakes Valley Conference player for the Drury Panthers. She tallied 12 Top-15 tournament finishes for a Panthers squad that was ranked as high as no. 6 in the country during its run to three consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference crowns.
Coluccio led the Panthers to an NCAA D-II West Regional Championship in 2005 and the program's first trip to the NCAA DII National Championship in 2007, where the Panthers finished fourth.
Coluccio's golf career has given her the opportunity to travel though out the country while competing in dozens of prestigious tournaments. She has participated in the Women's Western Amateur, Women's Trans National Amateur, College Players Tour, Futures Tour Qualifying School and the LPGA Qualifying School, among many others.
She continues to play competitive golf at the local, state and national level. Coluccio is the two-time reigning SDGA Two-Woman Champion and Sioux Falls Women's City Champion.
Jenny is married to assistant USF golf coach Brett Coluccio. The couple has been married for one year and resides in Sioux Falls.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The most over designed light switch? Or useful complexity?
There is a perennial debate about how much design is too much. We all want simpler things, except when we don't.
Here's an entertaining example. How complex can you make a light switch? And is there an amount of complexity that so complicated you can't imagine a situation where the complexity would be useful to someone?
This photo by Steve Portigal shows one candidate for the most sophisticated switch design of all time.
Challenge: What is this UI for?
Traveling to foriegn countries is always fun for designers. You get to see entirely different ways to solve familiar problems, or to see designs that try to solve problems you're not sure are problems at all.
Here's a great example. We found this design: Can you guess what it's for?
Play games while waiting to cross street (Streetpong)
This student project from Germany raises as many design issues as it solves. It keeps you occupied while waiting for the light to change, and also indicates how much time is left. The project was for a course in interactive media.
The good: it likely prevents jaywalking. It's a thoughtful use of design to fill dead time. It's interactive.
The bad: the wait isn't quite long enough to justify it.
Watch the video anyway. There's some clever thinking here.

How to dial a (rotary) telephone
The irony of this instructional diagram is it would be needed today for anyone who had never seen one before. The rotary UI reached is primacy in the late 1970s, before push button phones took over. For anyone born today, and never saw it used in a movie, would have a hard time figuring it out.
The problem of course is the diagram fails to explain the most important thing: how to actually dial a number.
The design itself had the curious side effect of making 0's the most expensive number to dial, as it took the most work and the most time.

A really smart Smart Car
What does this button do?
Can you guess what pushing this lonely button in a hallway does?
Update: the answer is here.
Password requirements torture
It's bad enough the criteria for a password are kept secret, only shown after I've tried to enter something.
But it's worse when the criteria are so complex for no good reason.
This site asks for:
- 7 characters
- And 3 of the following:
- Uppercase
- lowercase
- number
- and special character
If only 3 are needed, they should drop one requirement, eliminating a choice the user has to make.
At minimum, the UI should offer me a unique autogenerated password that meets the criteria that I can use if I wish.
There is consistent advice about how secure passwords need to be. Yet it's fascinating how some sites define their own similiar but different criteria. Also see: OnePassword.
What does "Open Open" do?
Over-designed Car Parking UI
In Walla Walla, WA, drivers are not entrusted with determining how much space they need for parallel parking their cars. The city does it for them, by marking off spaces of pre-determined length. I'm suspicious this wastes space (as not all cars are the same size) when the spots are back-to-back – and I'm definitely sure it does when the spots have additional space left between them (see photo below).

If Bainbridge assigned at least one parking space per unit, it would have made my residency there much better. Read More It was very frustrating to come home from a long day at work to find no available spaces because other tenants had guests.

Chuck, "Chuck Versus The Seduction Impossible"
I was angry with last week's Chuck. For so many reasons that I don't need to go into again. I say this because I completely adored this week's episode, which probably makes me the worst Chuck fan of the week or something. I think I've decided that if Chuck doesn't want to create sustaining narratives … Continue reading

Update from Edmay in Iraq: 423 boxes of toys so far
Just got this comment from Edmay, and wanted to post it up front so everyone can appreciate it. Look what we've all done!
Hi to all,
Wanted to give you an update on the toys, clothes, school supplies, candy, etc. As of today 3/6/07 we have received 423 boxes filled with love from the wonderful, caring, generous people in America (1 from Japan). I cannot thank you all enough. We had to order a conex for the boxes of toys and we now have our teams distributing the items and also the Army (82nd & 1/34th) doing the same - and we will probably have the Air Force taking some too. I am going to also check with the Romanian troops that serve with us - they probably would like some to distribute also. May God bless and keep each and everyone of you. All items sent will be used and given to the Iraqi people. /Edmay
I'm hoping to spread the word even farther with some sort of press release next week, so if you know of anyone (journalists, bloggers, anyone) who might want to report on this story, please let me know and I'll put them on my list.
For the latest information about how to send toys to Iraq, please see the original post.
