Facebook has posted its earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2014. The results: $3.85 billion in revenue with quarter-over-quarter user growth of 2.9 percent, bringing it to 1.39 billion monthly active users. (Though it's worth noting that number counts people who use Facebook to log in to other services, not people who actively participate on the company's social network.) The company beat expectations.

TV on the Radio Deliver Taut Tour Opener in Philly
"That was a world premiere, by the way," TV on the Radio multi-instrumentalist Jaleel Bunton said to rapturous applause at Philadelphia's Electric Factory after playing the slow-chugging, powerful "Caffeinated Consciousness," a cut from their fourth album, Nine Types of Light (out tomorrow),"That's the first time we've ever played that song live."
"We've never even rehearsed it before," added lead singer Tunde Adebimpe.
It was four songs into TV on the Radio's rapturous, kinetic tour opener -- "Young Liars," "The Wrong Way," and the aural cocaine of "Dancing Choose" opened it -- and if they'd never rehearsed, you'd never know it. For that matter, you'd be hard pressed to believe the band -- aside from a couple private gigs at this year's SXSW (including one for SPIN) -- hadn't played live since wrapping an 18-month tour in support of the career-defining Dear Science and launching a short but deserved break.
Check out more photos from this show on SPIN's Facebook!
Multi-instrumentalist/producer Dave Sitek moved from Williamsburg to Los Angeles, where he now records in Beverly Hills. Guitarist Kyp Malone pursued a solo endeavor, Rain Machine, as did Adebimpe. The band's deal with British indie 4AD came to a close. And, most tragically, bassist Gerard Smith was diagnosed with lung cancer, forcing him to sit out the current tour.
Despite this tension, though, Nine Types glistens with positivity. Like the album's gooey first single, "Will Do," it brims with tales of longing and love. The crowd this opening night was treated to a few more new tracks in the middle of the set before the megawatt intensity of "Staring at the Sun" set them ablaze.
The album-closing "Caffeinated Consciousness" embodied the wild diversity of the new album with its '80s rap beat and a Big Audio Dynamite-influenced sheen. Following it, the band continued on with new track "You," an ethereal, swirling song described by Adebimpe on stage as "a sensitive song for sensitive people with a sensitive side" that saw him solemnly lamenting, "I thought you might like to know, you're the only one I ever loved."
Another new one, "Repetition," upped the energy all the more, with Adebimpe repeating a phrase -- "My repetition, my repetition is this" -- over and over atop a cacophonous swell, violently twisting his long graceful frame around the stage like a tornado. The crowd responded in kind. "Will Do" cooled things a bit, but not for long. As they kicked out the frenetic beats of their most dance-y song, 2006's "Wolf Like Me," the amped crowd on the second floor balcony began raining full cups of beer on those below, who were so enraptured with glee they didn't seem to mind (or notice) one bit.
The encore opened with another new track, "Forgotten," which found Adebimpe admonishing the "fucked up" perils of Beverly Hills. "Philadelphia, you could've been Pittsburgh," Adebimpe quipped during the track's down-tempo moment, to a chorus of confused and scattered boos from the three-quarters full room. "Philadelphia, you could've been New Jersey," he said, and was met with more boos still. "Philadelphia, you should just be proud you're not Beverly Hills."
And just like that, they came roaring back.

George W. Gliba in Mathias, West Virginia, counted an average of 35 Perseids per hour on Monday morning from 2:10 to 5:10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. His sky was only moderately dark, with stars visible as faint as magnitude 5.9. This suggests that the shower's actual "zenithal hourly rate" at the time was around 80, its textbook average. The zenithal hourly rate (ZHR) is the number of meteors a single observer would see if the sky were dark enough for 6.5-magnitude stars to be visible, and if the shower's radiant (in northern Perseus) were at the zenith.
I myself counted only 23 Perseids during the hour from 2:46 to 3:46 a.m. EDT that morning. But stars were visible only as faint as magnitude 5.0, leading to a very rough ZHR value of about 100.
The Perseids continued on schedule the next night. During early morning hours Tuesday at his observing site in Great Britain, Robin Scagell of the Society for Popular Astronomy told local news media, "We've seen one every couple of minutes on average, which is about what we would expect for conditions here where the sky is not as dark as it might be out in the country."
A few hours later Wesley Stone made counts under a very dark, 6.6-magnitude sky in Oregon. However, he observed from 10:50 p.m. to 1:56 a.m. local time, when the Perseid radiant was lower in the sky. His counts of 50 and 51 Perseids during the last two hours of his watch translate into a ZHR of about 70.
The shower should remain active late tonight and for the next week or more, though with diminishing intensity. More news of this year's Perseids will appear in Sky & Telescope.

- Well-maintained farmstead. Judges will be looking for well-kept farm buildings, including new or well-restored original barns, shops, grain systems, as well as fences, windmills, and other adornments located on your farmstead.
- Creative use of landscape in a farmstead setting. Petunias, roses, or sunflowers – show us your best flowers surrounding your rolling hills, winding down entryways, or bringing life to the side of an old barn. Don't forget your bushes and trees. From blossoms in the spring to fall's crisp leaves, your trees bring out the beauty of the seasons.
What you need to enter
- Send up to 12 photographs.

Living in post war Britain you had to fend for yourself. The author decided to train as an Accountant through correspondence study and paid the fees through taking a variety of jobs, often rebelling at the conditions and the little Hitlers encountered from time to time.
Studying people was first in his nature, and memories were carried into his management career. Although conversant with figures, words were always his obsession, and when lengthy reports had to be written they were labours of pleasure.
Marriage came along, a gay and rewarding experience, full of hectic adventure. Then it went away and he was alone again. Immediately the bug to write came back and this novel was born.

Using little more than a few perforated sheets of plastic and a staggering amount of number crunching, engineers have demonstrated the world's first 3D acoustic cloak.
The new device reroutes sound waves to create the impression that both the cloak and anything beneath it are not there.
It works in all three dimensions, no matter which direction the sound is coming from or where the observer is located, and holds potential for future applications such as sonar avoidance and architectural acoustics.
Construction is underway to place them over the whole of Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg.

An awful reminder of when the lefties tried to bring down the Government. And the moron Toynbee maintains that Socialists are nicer and more intelligent people.
There is always a simulation of male and female roles in homosexual relationships. On the other hand, I have seen pictures of gay 'weddings' in which both partners are dressed the same.

Pre-text for R-Fed intervention in east U is being played out now.

The R'ussian army is fully mobilized near the U border to the North and East:
Away from the main action, it looks like the R-Fed is going to re-engineer the Dayton agreement in B'osnia. Lavrov recently had a meeting with Republica Srpska's Dodik (Republica Srpska – Serb entity in Bosnia):
Ashton was over in B'osnia recently for talks, but the rhetoric is very likely not winning either hearts or minds:
Ashon's visit was partly due to protests which have been taking place in B'osnia recently.
S'erbia's continued realignment with R'ussia needs to be considered in light of the shift of R'epublica S'rpska. Re-opening this can of worms really could be the single largest failure of EU foreign policy yet, and certainly would make the dynamic in the B'alkan's dysfunctional at best.
Other nearby countries are likely to be drawn into what is essentially P'tins move to recapture the former Y'ugoslave states, and S'erbia's desire to restore a Serb dominated Y'ugoslavia and territories ceded back in the 90's.
In other news, U oligarch Firtash was arrested in A'ustria today at direction of FBI:
Some background on Firtash:
RosUkrEnergo / G'azprom are of interest, as is the S'tockholm A'rbitration T'ribunal ruling.
Y'anukovych signed an accord with Russia in 2009 which removed RosUkrEnergo from the market, and accused Tymoshenko of abuse of power in her and her governments signing of Gas contracts with Russia.
Firtash admitted links to Russian Mafia figure Seymon Mogilevich as revealed in Wikileaks release of US Embassy cables:
Firtash confirmed he needed M'ogilevich's approval to get into business in the first place.
T'ymoshenko is being painted as a possible good choice by EU for and US for leading U, so the arrest of Firtash could be considered more a means of improving her optics and also removing an individual who could cause her problems if she makes it back into office.
Some further background on T'ymoshenko aka the Gas Princess:
Finally, on the issue of S'tockholm and S'weden, other than Carl Bildt being one of those instrumental in negotiating what looks now to be a failed Dayton agreement, S'weden are looking to join NATO ASAP:
And we won't pay for what we don't buy.
RFed, bankrupt…. Again, because the crooks have all the money, not Dobby.
You can only elect it, or put them in charge of local planning.
You have been rather silent for some time Pliny – here's one for you providing it gets past the u know what – The J chrncl ran some articles [past year] of some rabbis standing up against gay marriage them rabbis were 'ruled over' by higher powers … so what does that say about who's ruling the roost?
"As went the Soviet Union, so goes America."
Sadly, yes. Look into Solzhenitsyn at the ethnopoliticsonline.com site.
Then think of the major influences on the US economy in the last century via NYC. It's been a slow process, but a devastating one for all but a few. Note the Russian Oligarchs?
Look into what happened to the USSR in three phases: 1917-1928;
1928-1953 and finally 1953 onwards. In the last phase China nearly went to war with them for being revisionist. In the middle phase many thought the USSR led the world politically (see the Webbs and Richard Acland of the 1941 Committee). Many of those responsible for the first phase above came over from NYC. The post war Cold War can be seen as in large part a consequence of what happened in 1928 after which there was a major team change in the USSR, which was then replaced after 1953 to the USSR's ultimate cost.
btw – re the mantra ovens 'smearing' of i in the past – you lost fuckhead.
i like i's dot – it has significance – but its not for the completely fucked in their thinking process.
Imagine the media was mainly run by women and/or gay people. All quite unrelated people too. Would they collectively exert a bias on how the media operated do you think, especially if being female (or being gay) was genetically determined.
US is not going the same way – but Europe most certainly is at present.
On the direct matter of U, forgot to mention above that all R-Fed air carriers have now amended their routes to bypass U airspace:
There was a possibility that all the build up could have been maskirovka, but with the real costs that are being born by the R-Fed economy at present that is incredible.
Following article is also telling, even though the 'we' is strictly G'ermany as no one else in their own right mind has publicly questioned P'tin's mental health:
A pathetic attempt at satire there Pliny. Try this:
Resistance is futile; for the charges against your mob [Pliny] are far greater than you can imagine.
People have become charged in their knowledge of what was told to them [repeatedly] as being complete B/S.
There is a capacitance of charge that has been built up and it is being released and it is an unstoppable force against complete bullshit.
Whoop,Whoop,Whoop, Nutter Alert, Nutter Alert. Standby with Lithium Drip.
The sooner the fucking criminal Organisation known as the EU 'implodes' the better for all the peoples of Europe – and not the political pygmies across Europe who have been lying to their peoples because they are all fucking 'owned'. Bring it on.
Sub-note: How many more times can the likes of Straw MP and his current office holders state that 'we are going to be MORE transparent et fucking cetera …'
Whic means that claiming to be transparent in the first place – was a great big fucking lie.
This is the twenty first century – and the pygmies in the British Parliament are obsessed and embroiled with homosexual hedonism and corruption …
What does that say about Parliament and its 650 moneygrubbing actors all suborned to diktats of the owned and controlled establishment?
Come on … those of you on here who profess to be of some fucking intellect who aren't political tribalist monkeys.

This morning on he BBC world paper review they had a young guy on and the two BEeboid women that run the programme. The young guy mentioned the upcoming budget and cost of living crisis ya de da.. and not a murmur from either of the two women. then he went completly off message and said it was a pat on the back for the Chacellor and the economy is doing good they all think so.
Holy cow you should have seen these two beeboids they puffed and shook heads and spat vennom and both argued with him at the same time shouting over each other. He held his ground and said its doing well
the change from saying something derrogatory to saying something good was stunning and utterly blatant it was like a smack in the face. i

Some interesting developments on the missing MH370:
US Media concerned that the plane may have been redirected to an as yet undetermined location:
Further analysis of ground data and ping logs indicates that the data reporting system and transponder appear to have been shut down at different times:
This indicates that catastrophic failure is not the reason for the aircraft vanishing from radar, and that there must have been manual intervention on the plane. (Absent a very unlikely combination of equipment failures)
The aircraft continued to ping a satellite for several hours after it vanished from radar, which is why search area has now been extended to 2000nm from the last civilian radar sighting @ 1:31AM.
Good article on how the politics of M'alaysia has affected government reporting of this incident:
And the sodomy angle:
The reality of what R-Fed is going to do in U is beginning to hit home.
M'erkel today has acknowledged that there is a strong possibility that Europe could be dragged into war.
This is not hyperbole either.
The UK should consider very seriously it's membership of the EU now as the geopolitical risk this has always posed is now being realized.
One should in particular be sensitive to the disapora + fait acompli strategy which R-Fed are using again in U to justify their annexation.
The more foreigners which settle in the UK the larger the risk to UK national security. Particularly those from eastern Europe and R'ussia.

It is unlikely that T'urkey will join the EU.
The Berkin Elvan case which has set of latest protests in T'urkey (see above) has also triggered protests in G'reece:

Berkin was a 15 year old who was in a coma for 1 year after being shot in the head with a tear gas cannister (purchased from the EU with funds supplied by the EU) during protests last year in T'urkey.

Cathy Ashton is still being hammered by !ranian 'hardliners' who are irritated that she interfered in !ranian internal affairs on her recent visit by when she met with activists:

Looking at the content of the protest notices one should conclude that her position as a diplomat is completely untenable now.
Fatwa ?
This page on the Hurriyet site
makes the point that Erdogan apologised with tears at a rally for the deaths of the children of religious zealots, but stayed shtumm on the subject of Berkin Elvan, an uncommitted boy who was pointlessly killed when he went out to buy a loaf of bread. Not unlike the apology strategy of some of our own politicians.
Erdogan and his family are corrupt bastards:

The EU, for what it is worth, has censured T'urkey about its policy of aiming tear gas at peoples heads during demonstrations.
This is an example of what was going on last year…
This also glosses over the continued denial which exists over the Joris Demmink scandal, which involved Demmink who was Sec Gen of D'utch Ministry of Justice sexually abusing and trafficking young boys in T'urkey.
The Demmink affair is a major EU / D'utch cover up.

RIP Tony Benn. One of the few to see off Ali G. Class.
Oh nos! We are still drying out our hankies from Madiba's passing!
RIP Tony Benn.
He & Thatcher were what politics should be about. Conviction.
Not the lilly livered dissembling tools like Cameron, Clegg & Milliband.
What a little a fibber and a right prick tease from what i hear!
RIP Tony Benn. Whatever one thought of him, he was one of a diminishing number of people on the left who spoke out about the dangers of the EU (cf Bob Crow). Also an interesting and engaging speaker. Rest in Peace.
Tony Benn has died. I didn't agree with his politics at all, but I respect the man and his principles. My condolences to his family and friends.
Tony Benn — The issue is Thatcher: http://youtu.be/ETqOvBKnKdk via @YouTube
RIP Comrade
The wrong politician called Tony with the initials TB has died. I'd much rather that the rotten, evil Tony Blair had snuffed it. Benn, love him or loathe him, had his principles and was a vocal critic of the EU. He had conviction and didn't join in the left's outrageous celebration of Thatcher's death. For all that, I mourn his passing. RIP
Somebody get Fawkes out his pit and tell him Tony Benn is dead.
The age old defence of the arsehole monkeys to gag criticism ,if you show disgust it's because you are a 'Latent homo' , there is no such thing ,it's just psychobabble !
Yes who could forget classic quotes from Tony Benn:
"Nuclear power will be too cheap to meter"
I bet you all thought i was already dead, well i am now.
By the way i closed more coal mines than Maggie Thatcher.
P.S. Did i tell you that nuclear power will be too cheap to meter.
Off to my special circle of hell reserved for hypocritical bastard millionaires who live their lives by lying to the poor whose taxes they demand at the threat of imprisonment and whose lives they blight and dreams they destroy through oppression and mediocre statism.
See, you reckoned without all-party fuckwittery re nuclear power
Under Conservatives, each day the economy is creating 2,000 jobs with 89% going to British people.
The EU acts rather like a gangrene infection, it corrupts everything it touches because that is how it spreads it malignant influence. It finds and feeds the corrupt in order to better absorb each region it sets its malignant eyes on. The EU is nothing less than a deadly infection and needs to be eradicated with extreme prejudice if Europe is going to escape a new dark age.
Guido probably sprang up when he heard Tony's dead.
When he realised it was Tony Benn and not Tony Blair, he promptly went back to sleep :-)
Bob Crow, Tony Benn. Be afraid Owen Jones, be very afraid, the reaper is coming for you.
I was nobody's comrade. Just a selfish, egotistical bastard who liked people to stand up and clap when I marched about pretending to be at the vanguard of socialism and swivvelling my eyes at everything honest and decent.
They both shared a passion for closing down unprofitable coal mines, although Benn closed more.
You obviously don't remember much about the idiot. Benn thought he was the vanguard of modern Britain, yet he represented the opposite. His motorcycle factory lasted only a few years, and concorde was eventually scrapped as too expensive. His sole contibution seems to have be endless appearances on Question Time – big deal.

He was a fucking tedious old bore. I listened to him speak for an hour once and there wasn't a single coherent thought in his head. He could play a crowd, i'll give him that, but when you later thought about what he'd said it was just mushy platitudes delivered in between a series of self-regarding affectations.
Tony Benn – conviction politician. Trouble is his convictions were all wrong and, as some idiots fell for them, dangerous. Quel tosseur.
I trust you won't succumb to penning an article about Tony Benn being a lovely man.

I remember Benn coming to our school in Bristol ( St. Thoms) – circa 1968/9? puffing away on his pipe and spouting all sorts of empowering crap from the school stage. We duly responded by having sit down strikes in the playground and demanding all sorts of rights. To see the panic and confusion on our teachers faces was a pure delight.
And burn the treacherous filth who signed it.

Society for the History of Technology (SHOT)
The Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) was formed in 1958 to encourage the study of the development of technology and its relations with society and culture.
An interdisciplinary organization, SHOT is concerned not only with the history of technological devices and processes but also with technology in history—that is, the relationship of technology to politics, economics, science, the arts, and the organization of production, and with the role it plays in the differentiation of individuals in society. Not least, it is concerned with interpretive flexibility, the conception that beliefs about whether a technology "works" are contingent on the expectations, needs, and ideologies of those who interact with it.
SHOT members represent a wide range of disciplines and professions, from history and the humanities to engineering and science, and come from some thirty-five countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Family owned and operated for 30 years, Frame Center provides decorative and museum-quality framing services for original artwork, prints, and other memorabilia. With roughly 2,000 frames and hundreds of mats to choose from, mounted and framed pictures under glass start at $29.95 for an 11" x 14" frame, $45.95 for 16" x 20", $69.95 for 24" x 36", and $74.95 for 32" x 40". Prices can increase if you opt for higher-quality wood frames, which many customers choose to enhance velvet portraits of Courtney Love unearthed from the basement of the Louvre. Available mats range from paper and museum-grade conservation material to hand-wrapped fabrics. Frame Center's experienced staff also frames shadowboxed objects, photo portraits, and diplomas ($100+), as well as needlepoint or cross-stitch pieces ($70+). Although you can always nail art projects onto a refrigerator door, a wall display offers a longer-lasting opportunity to display your children's illustrations ($24.95+) of Hannah Montana clones playing poker.
The Akron Art Museum's collection showcases art after 1850, allowing visitors to breathe freely and without fear of catching the plague from Medieval shrouds. Works by Ohio-affiliated artists such as Frank Duveneck are joined by renowned pieces by Andy Warhol, El Anatsui, and Doris Salcedo, as well as traveling exhibitions. The upcoming exhibit Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History 1955 to the Present features 175 pictures by photographers including Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, and Annie Leibovitz.
Paula Atwell wasn't born an artist. She didn't pursue any art form in college, instead achieving a degree in English and a minor in accounting. After logging years in standard 9–5 jobs, she had an epiphany—it was time to do something for herself. Taking this newfound motivation to action, Paula enrolled in a beading class and followed it with forays into metalsmithing, crafting, and soldering.
These experiments in creativity led her to join the Lake Erie Artists co-op in 2003, where she began to show her eclectic jewelry at their booth during local festivals. When the co-op became incorporated in 2005, Paula's business world experience made her an obvious choice to lead the diverse group of artists in forming their own gallery. Today, the co-op-turned-gallery now carries hundreds of art pieces that span a range of media.
Producing blown-glass sculptures and handcrafted metal jewelry and pottery, the artists each specialize in a few select media as decided during the gallery's annual game of spin-the-paintbrush. The staff at Lake Erie Artists Gallery is also a strong proponent of local business, encouraging their patrons to browse Shake Square after looking at their wares. In project-oriented classes taught by working artists, students explore jewelry and painting and leave with their handcrafted pieces.
Glass Bubble Project's owners Mike Kaplan and Chris McGillicutty are business partners, friends, and working artists. Beginning in 1998, they repurposed their garage space into a working studio where professional artists and students create side by side, firing delicate one-of-a-kind masterpieces—and, according to Cleveland Magazine, the occasional grilled cheese sandwich—in the shop's 2,000-degree furnace. Their glass-blowing and welding classes teach adults and children to create one-of-a-kind artwork as nearby artists at work bolster creativity. Besides classes, the studio invites guests to watch their free public demonstrations and grants private studio time to artists in need and broken bottles looking for a fresh start.
The shop's resident artists craft and sell sconces, chandeliers, and vases from recycled glass and repurposed metal. Nicknamed "Clevetion Glass" to simultaneously lampoon delicate Venetian glass and celebrate Cleveland's heartiness, their blend of industrial parts and elegant glasswork toughens up the décor of private residences and commercial buildings, such as the Ritz Carlton, all across the country.

In my travels today back from Washington DC, I remembered that I had not yet posted about a new TSA policy that allows those who are 75 and up to keep their shoes and potentially a light jacket on while going through security. This is very similar to the policy in place for children who are 12 years of age and under as they also get to keep their shoes on when they go through security. The TSA website indicates that this was a move in their continued effort to go to a more risk-based model where more focus is given to those "who may cause a threat to transportation".
I can only imagine how difficult it was for some adults who are 75 and up to get their shoes and jacket off. As we all know, the emphasis in the security line is often on speed. Even if the TSA agents are directly rushing you, the passengers behind you who are trying to get to their flights can be a bit huffy and puffy if you take more than 1.7 seconds to take off your shoes, remove your jacket, unbuckle your belt, take our your liquids, and lift your bags onto the conveyor belt. It can be a bit stressful for an able-bodied young adult; I am sure for some folks who are older and may have some mobility difficulties, it could be that much more difficult. For those reasons, I do think this a good move. Family travel isn't just about the younger generation, it is often about the older generation as well.
I chuckle a little that we now have two different age groups who can keep their shoes on – wouldn't it make sense if you were trying to do something dangerous or elicit with shoes that you would just bring along Grandpa or Junior? Not trying to start another huge debate about how useful the TSA is or isn't, but that is just a bit funny to me. If you have grandparents or others in your traveling party who will meet this new "Born Before 1937″ requirement, then let them know that they can keep their shoes and light jacket on while going through security. Hopefully it will make their travel experience a little easier, and will keep the line moving a little more for those who are huffing, puffing, or rushing to get to their next flight.
That's all for tonight – I'm spending some much needed time with my little family before we go our different ways again for a bit when the work week starts. A little off topic, but I think I totally won the best souvenir contest today when I brought C home a flight suit from the Smithsonian. We watched videos about space shuttles and she wore it all afternoon. She does still call it her "Octonaut Suit", but close enough. She is now asking when we can go to space. Um, maybe I should pay more attention to Virgin Galactic.
13 Responses to "Adults 75 and Up – Keep Your Shoes on at the Airport"
Wow, I am jealous of that space suit. I think I just found my next year's Halloween Costume.
Hey by the time C is done with college, SpaceX might be making regular trips to Mars, so your timing on the introduction to space is perfect! Forget "my first doll." "My first flight suit" sounds much more awesome.
Cute! Maybe she will grow up to captain Virgin Galactic flights and you won't have to worry about saving enough miles for a space flight?
Millions of travelers of any age can keep their shoes on in Europe….
I wouldn't consider a person above 75 an "adult" anymore
If we would just start profiling people US security would be better even with all our shoes on. You don't see people hijacking any El Al flights. Of course I'm a little bitter lately since I found out that I'll have to pay $20 a day to park at the port of Miami for a cruise but if I was disabled or at least claim to be I can park for free and closer to the door. I know I'm a bad person for feeling the way I do.
For your mother-daughter trip to outer space, I'd recommend Avios for the best value redemption. It's only around 65 miles to clear the atmosphere and reach outer space, and Avios really excels in short haul redemptions.
Ha! They should lower that age to 65!
Darling pic of LittleC. She is growing so fast that it's easy to understand why her grandparents want to visit every 3 months.
I've always thought she looked like her dad; but her mom's features are starting to come out. -
While it makes sense overall to move towards a "risk-based model" for security, it seems like it could be a slippery slope. For example, I'm pretty sure you can make a strong case for ethnic/racial profiling under a risk-based model…
@Danin: check if the local hotels offer 'cruise parking'. In some ports, the hotel will keep your car if you pay for one night's stay.
@MP: you brought back a space suit… from D.C to Houston?!?!? :p Very cute though!
I'd would think that kids are a bigger risk that 75YOs. A 75YO is old enough to know better, unless they no longer have the mental facilities. Children can and have been used by terrorists.
Wahoo slightly less the 40 years and I don't have to take my shoes off at the airport anymore! Of course shouldn't we have flying cars by then? It's past the year 2000 and I was promised flying cars!
[…] Have you heard that the TSA is letting certain travelers keep their shoes on? Mommy Points explains! […]
I am finding comflicting info about the shoe policy. I am 83 and soon to fly.
Re: El-Al They have fewer than 50 flights a day, I'm told, but they are highly trained to profile, more like the agents on the US/Canadian border. Once heard from an El Al spokesperson, "the US will never be safe when you look for bombs. We look for bombers".

GlobalWin have a winner on their hands with the WBW76. An inexpensive price, excellent cooling performance and easy installation make this a hard-to-beat product. The Evercool NW6-610 shouldn't be written off either. Its main constraint is the small fan. When I placed a 6800RPM Y.S. Tech model on top, the results beat even the GlobalWin unit. And the fan rotation alarm is a nice touch as well.
Consequently, I have no option but to award GlobalWin's unit the trophy. If Evercool released the same sink with a faster fan it may be in the running as well.

This is a fragrance I used to wear many years ago and I absolutely loved this scent. I tend to like Calvin Klein's fragrances and at that time, this was my favorite. I was so paranoid that they would discontinued this that I would buy two at a time. Soon afterwards, I found that many women were wearing this, which turned me off. I also became bored with the scent as well. Imo, this was a very sexy scent. At this point in my life, I would not repurchase this because I'm so fickle and like to rotate fragrances.

I love bergamot and sandalwood, so, Obsession is right up my alley. Very musky and very sexy! It's got a lot of *heat*, if that makes sense.
IMO, you should ALWAYS try a fragrance on before purchasing and I'd say that goes triple for Obsession. Though I love the scent, I totally understand why the muskiness of it would be a total turn-off. A friend of mine says it smells sweaty on her. Sweaty, musky - it's a fine line and it really depends on your body chemistry.
Also, a little dab will do ya! Obsession has major staying power and you really do not need more than one spritz.

My aunt has this perfume and I've only sniffed it once! The smell is so distinct that I can STILL recall it. As the viewer below notes, it has a slightly spicy punch to it, which I personally like. However, I can definitely see why some people would find it offending and far too strong. It reminds me of a more feminine cologne. To me, it's not a cheap smell. It's very distinctive and has an edge to it.

this is strong!!! very sweet and spicy. there is no mistaking this scent when someone wears it. i go into a time warp when i smell this...an 80's flashback!! when this came out it was all anybody was wearing and i got sick of it. now that so much time has passed i can appreciate it but still can rarely make myself wear this powerhouse.

I used to wear this a lot when I was younger, but now I am really sick of the scent. It is too heavy and sweet for me. Primarily too sweet because I like heavy scents like Paloma Picasso. It's just the combination of heavy and sweet that doesn't work for me. I have some of the lotion, body cream and perfume spray, but when I wear it, it just isn't me, However, I do like Obsession for Men (on men).
On me this is amber and sandalwood with a small amount of rich white floral notes thrown into the mix. While it's not my personal favourite oriental, I wear it regularly because my dh absolutely loves it on me and it's one of those perfumes I regularly get compliments on from total strangers. It all comes down to your personal chemistry. I can get away with wearing this to the office in cool weather, and I work in an open office with 3 other people, and it's not too strong or overpowering. Whenever I wear a new perfume to the office, I ask the other people I work with if they are happy with me wearing it, or if it is annoying them. Everyone in the office says this smells warm and spicy on me and not too strong at all. ON the other hand light florals are lost on me. Yes you should apply it with a light hand, and I must admit I would prefer to have this in a bottle without a spray so I could apply it much more precisely, but what are you gonna do? Don't be bound by the rules of sexy oriental frags should be worn only at night on a hot date. Ask those people closest to you if they think the perfume is suitable for office wear and day wear. If they think its not too OTT, go for it. I regularly wear other orientals to work (Tabu, Ciara, Bal a Versailles), with the blessings of the other staff.

Oh boy, I keep forgetting what great stuff this is. This one has a wonderful not-too-sweet dry-down that puts the newer cookie-cutter fragrances to shame.
The trick with Obsession is to use the tiniest amount possible! I learned this the hard way years ago when I used to spray on enough to kill bugs.
Now I spray a bit onto a little saucer and then dip my finger in the couple of drops there and dot it on the torso area before getting dressed. That way, later on there is this soft, woodsy, incense-y aroma wafting up, helped along by body heat and buffered by clothes. So by the time it hits any nostrils it is rather "quiet" but still noticeable, in a good way. A really good way.
The shower gel is terrific too!

I received my first bottle of Obsession--the 3.4 oz EDP spray for Christmas last year.
It took me nearly 6 months to get up the nerve to actually wear it. See, it smells a lot like the knockoff versions when you smell it straight out of the bottle, and I think that's what has always scared me off. But waitthere's something extra that starts to unfold about 5 minutes into it.
The hotness and sharpness of the first spritz begins to round itself out into a smoldering melange of incense and spices, with some kind of green, herbal overtones. Then it morphs into a sexy gossamer version of its previous self, fading into a sweet chocolaty gourmand scent.
Don't get me wrong, it is a very strong scent, not for fruity, floral, or cupcakey chicks. I can imagine Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan smelling like this.
Does it smell like the 80s? Absolutely. But I imagine it smells like the all best parts of the 80s...

This is my favorite perfume. Spicy, not too sweet, lasts all day, not cloying or too strong. Love it!

"If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN," Sony said in a statement Saturday May 14th 2011.
Besides a new password, the online gaming network will be updating their software and will require users to up-date their software (v3.61). This up-date is "mandatory".
"We strongly recommend that all PSN account holders with PS3s update their systems to prepare for when PlayStation Network is back online", the company added.
On April 17th the PSN was attacked by hackers. Sony said that passwords and other information were stolen and the network was shut down a few days later.

I definitely think we need to hear from more people outside the council on this before making any decision. I like the idea of longer terms, and at the same time I see solar's point about people getting re-elected.

A List That Doesn't Include Angry Birds
There are standard applications that should be downloaded within twenty-four hours of opening your smartphone box: Facebook, Pandora, IMDB, Google Mobile App, foursquare, ESPN ScoreCenter, The Weather Channel, Groupon, Netflix, and at least one Twitter App. Here is a list (in no particular order) of apps that I would not want to live without, and nine of them are FREE.1. ScanLife: This app is in reference to my article about QR Codes. ScanLife enables you to scan the odd looking, square, 2D codes you see popping up in coupon inserts, on Taco Bell cups, on retail merchandising signage, and around Lakeland on business cards and event posters.
2. What's On TV?: If you do not have a cable box or miss your old TV Guide, you will love this app. Once you have selected your location and cable provider, scroll through channels, look ahead at future times and dates, and even search for the program you are looking to view. The Movies menu displays theater locations and show times, as well as descriptions for movies opening this week and in the next few months.
3 Alien Blue Pro ($1.99): This is the unofficial Reddit app for smartphones. Alien Blue Pro allows you to submit posts, exclude posts based on keywords, and view Reddit images from your phone. You will never go back to iReddit, and it is worth the one hundred and ninety-nine penny price tag.
4. Boxcar: I am rarely sitting at my computer during the day, so Boxcar keeps me in the media loop via push notifications. This one app allows me to see mentions, direct messages, and preferred lists from my Twitter accounts, notifications and mail from Facebook, foursquare and Gowalla alerts, Reddit notifications, and messages from Google Buzz and Google Voice. The app also allows RSS feeds, as well as Wowtrack and Growl notifications. Instead of checking four or five different accounts when you have five minutes to spare, open Boxcar and read through All Messages.
5. Dropbox: This is a great file sharing service that works for people who use any combination of Windows, Apple, Android or Linux systems. After you download Dropbox onto your computer, or app onto your smartphone, determine what files you would like to always have access to and copy them into your Dropbox folder. If there is a photo on your computer that needs to be sent via text message, just copy the photo into your Dropbox folder, open your Dropbox app on your smartphone, open the file and select Save Photo, open your photo gallery and send the picture. USB drives and cables become unnecessary.
Dropbox also has a Public folder that enables you to assign URLs to your files. Rather than emailing a 2MB photo or 7MB PDF, send the file URL to your email recipient and they will gain direct access to your file for as long as you make it available.
6. GeoQpons: I love discounts and I carry a small coupon organizer with me at all times, but this app helps me out when I forget to bring the coupons I receive in the mail. You can find discounts by brand name or location, and quite a few Lakeland companies are listed. Gators Dockside, Palace Italian Restaurant, and Regal Lakeland pop up when I scan via location, while Ann Taylor, Old Navy, Sports Authority, and Quiznos are just a few of the many discounts listed in the Brand menu. A penny saved is a penny earned.
7. Lose It!: Feeling frumpy? That is how it started for me. I used Lose It! to see exactly where my calories were coming from, and boy did I! It is difficult to choke down a twelve piece chicken nugget value meal when it is going to cost me 830 calories, and that is before the eight packs of mayonnaise I will need for my French fries. "I would like a grilled chicken salad please. Nope, no dressing. "
8. Cool Wallpapers HD: This app contains 1967 high definition images that fit your smartphone's screen. Cool Wallpapers HD organizes its images into thirty-five categories and the app has a Search feature. I love its shelf backgrounds; my iPhone folders look as though they are lined up on shelves of bright green grass.
9. RunKeeper : This app is not just about running, it is about moving. RunKeeper is perfect for long bike rides around town or walks around Circle B Bar Reserve. Just take your smartphone with you, open the app and put it in your pocket. When you are finished, you will have the total time, miles and calories burned while you are out exploring Lakeland.
10. Publix Weekly Ads and Store Locator: This is pretty self explanatory for most Lakeland residents. Yes, you can read through the Publix Weekly Ad before you get to the store. Maybe this should have been number one on my list.

BIG NEWS! I went to the dentist this morning for the first time in seven years – don't do this, by the way, it is very stupid — and by some sort of miracle or just good genetics, I have no new cavities! Also, not much has changed in dentistry since the last time I went — it is still a viscerally awful experience. No matter what Ami says. Anyway, let's see what we're wearing today!

The state of DPS in early Dragon Soul, page 2 {WoW}
Dec 29th 2011 6:31PM The problem is mangle is well below Shred, and a mangle rotation is boring and frustrating seeing we cant use one of our main abilities. Really on Heroic content what is the point in bring a feral dps when you can bring in another class that is almost guaranteed to do more and that will meet the dps check on a fight like Ultrax.

Last year I wrote a post with an idea for a Mother's Day card that I like to do at school with my kids each year. This year I decided to make a template to speed up the process!
Here are your options for different ways to use the pattern:
1. Print the pages and either use them as is. You can let kids cut and color the pieces, but normal printer paper will be more on the flimsy side.
2. Photocopy them onto construction paper. This is what I'm doing at work, we have a heavy duty printer that will take construction paper without a problem. Then I let the kids to the cutting and help them put all the pieces together.
3. Cut out the pieces and and use them to trace the shapes onto construction paper. Then let the kids cut their pieces and finish the project.
Click here to download the PDF.
Hope this helps make this project easier some of you out there! If you want more information and details on putting the card together, go to my original post. Happy (almost) Mother's Day!

Microsoft confirms rootkit caused Windows XP blue screens {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2010 12:13AM I've been seeing this happening for a while, especially for laptops. The rootkit attaches itself to IaStor.sys, the Intel AHCI driver and blue screens the machine, at least its a simple replacement of the driver and all is well again (pending a scan for anything else the user still has lingering)
Potential character model revisions in Cataclysm {WoW}
Nov 24th 2009 8:41PM All I have to say is this:
That is a gorgeous new model they have given Jaina, I would love my female paladin to have a model like that... then again I also wish she could walk up stairs...
For a while I swear the climbing stairs thing was fixed but it seems like it happens again. (not sure if this is model related or environment related)
Breakfast Topic: The You that you can't leave behind {WoW}
Sep 5th 2009 1:50PM I almost feel the same way, my first toon was a male paladin that I played for a couple years. Then I rerolled on a PvP server and made a female paladin, since then I've been playing her all the time.
I took her to the barber shop to check out the new hairstyles and couldn't find anything that I liked better then the plain old pony tail. I had to change it for the achievement then change it right back.

Jun 25th 2009 5:01PM its time for me to finally let windows 2000 and XP go, I skipped vista because I was one of those crazies who really just could not get it to work properly, but I must say I love 7...
The Midsummer Fire Festival has begun {WoW}
Jun 21st 2009 2:27PM You aren't given a quest to collect the opposing faction's city flames, when you interact with those fires you get an item in your bag that starts the quest. I did UC and Silvermoon last year but the event despawned while I was flying back with my TB and Org ones.
I handed the TB and Org ones in this year, recaptured the silvermoon one and it is still recorded as complete. I grabbed the UC one and it had reset, I was able to hand it in. It appears this year you only need to do TB/Org/UC or SW/IF/Darn, at least if you did Silvermoon/Exodar last year then those two did not reset yearly like the first three did.
Video: NVIDIA's ION-based netbooks and nettops are go for launch {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2009 4:16PM The VIA Artigo kit which also uses pico-itx boards can be mounted in a 5.25" drive bay, if you compare the case with ION's case they are almost identical, so in theory this could be mounted in a drive bay also.
[EDITED] Patch 3.0.2 primer for Protection Paladins {WoW}
Oct 16th 2008 9:14PM Improved Hammer of Justice and Divine Guardian? Skip them both. Most bosses are immune to stuns...
True yes, but you linked the old version of the spell.
Now Hammer of Justice will interrupt casting for 3 seconds (and yes this was designed to work on bosses too). While there should be plenty of others to interrupt spells from bosses its still something to look at, perhaps put points into it once you start leveling.
Caption This! {WoW}
Oct 8th 2008 7:40PM You forgot to bring your mask Pinkey! It's OK we still love you.
Breakfast Topic: How do you distribute 5-man loot? {WoW}
Mar 16th 2008 8:45AM On Draenor (US) I've seen it both ways, it seems to depend on the group. I personally find the pass before looting system strange. If you need it, need it. If something is left DE it, roll on shard.
Though we're talking 5-mans here I then think to kara+ and it's the same deal pass on everything (when master loot is forgotten)

Thank you to NameArt.com for providing complimentary product samples for us to base this review upon and for providing an additional product for our contest prize. All opinions expressed are my own.
Whether you are decorating a newborn's nursery or looking for a unique gift for an older child, the personalized name art gifts at PersonalizedGifts.net will surely give you inspiration. This site offers gifts, such as posters, prints, name bars, placemats, bookmarks, and more that are personalized with the name art that you design.
I very much liked the look of the wooden Personalized Name Plaques. We do not have much empty wall space left in our children's room, but these name bars do not take up much space. They can also sit on a desk or a shelf. Someday, when we move to a larger house and each child has their own room, I can see these name bars hanging on each of their doors.
Our children are 6, 6, and 9, so I was able to let them customize their own name bars. There were just a few easy steps to follow . . .
1. Enter the child's name as you would like it to appear on the product.
2. Choose a theme for the letters. You can try out one or all the themes to see which one you like the best.
3. Once you've chosen a theme, you can choose between two different letter styles within that them.
4. Next, you can customize each letter one at a time by choosing between two versions of that letter and then by going on to customize the colors for that letter.
That's how easy it was! All 3 of my children created something different. Our youngest son, Luke, tried the Teddy Bears theme first, but ultimately ended up with the dragon theme. He decided to make the first two letters in his name red and the last two blue. Our daughter was sure she wanted her name done in the Fairies theme, but ended up liking the Mermaid theme the best. She changed the hair and tail color of each mermaid, being very careful to make each mermaid look different from the ones on either side of her. Our oldest son, Jake, tried the robots first, but then opted for the dragons as well. The default color for the dragons theme is red and he decided to keep the color as is. He did change the letter styles so that they all included dragons with baby dragon eggs. I have to agree that the red is just stunning in the dragon theme.
The Name Art name bars each come with a black wooden easel so they can be prominently displayed. If you choose to hang the name bar up, you will need to nail a hanger to the back, which is not included. Each name bar retails for $26.75 regardless of the length of the name. Visit www.PersonalizedGifts.net to view their full selection of personalized name art gifts.
The winner for this contest will receive their choice of one of the following . . .

No longer a term merely designed to attract customers during slower times, some Atlantic City-area establishments have nearly become synonymous with their sensational Happy-hour offerings.
The concept of the Happy hour as it exists today may have different interpretations depending on who you are and where you are from, and in some cases cities or entire states banned what it considered a practice that encouraged binge drinking.
Indeed, its roots are fixed almost exclusively to discounted cocktails as a way to ease the stress of a hectic day or workweek, and restore a "happy" frame of mind. Now, at least in the case of many popular gathering places in and around Atlantic City, it is primarily an enticement to enjoy appetizers, small plates or signature drinks at reduced rates during off-peak hours, no doubt with the hope that customers will be won over for life and come back at any time.
Below are a few suggestions for some of the area Happy hours that continue to receive a lot of positive feedback.
Dos Caminos at Harrah's
"Cinco de Wednesdays," "Thirsty Thursdays," and "Viva La Friday" are three of Dos Caminos aptly named, popular Happy hours. Wednesdays starting at 5pm includes $5 appetizers and drink specials, while Thursdays boast $3 beers and tequila shots, and Friday features half-priced tacos with $4 beers and $5 margaritas at the bar and lounge. doscaminos.com
One at Revel
At One restaurant Monday through Thursday from 5-7pm, and Friday through Sunday from 4-7pm, bar plates start at $7 and drink specials include $6 glasses of wine and $4 bottled and draft beers. Bar bites and small-plate specials include BBQ short rib sliders, truffle skinny fries, and spicy popcorn shrimp. oneatlanticcity.com
Mountain Bar at Bally's
Billing itself as Atlantic City's only 24-hour Happy hour, Mountain Bar — the returning winner of the best in-casino Happy hour in the 2012 ACWeekly.com Readers' Choice Nightlife Awards — has select domestic draft beers on special at all times for $2, select mixed drinks and shots for $3, and during all NFL games it offers $6 nachos, and Miller Lite or Coors Light pints with a dozen wings for $7. DJs perform Friday and Saturday nights and the Vixens, sexy dancers in skin-tight cut-off jeans and plaid shirts, perform every half-hour on weekends. Ballysac.com
Village Whiskey at Revel
Held every Monday, Thursday and Friday from 4-7pm (plus 10pm-midnight Friday), and all day Sunday in the bar area, Village Whiskey offers assorted sliders like their famed Village Burger and BBQ Pork Sammy sliders ($2.50 to $5), snacks like deviled eggs and cheese puffs ($5 to $9), "Duck Fat" fries ($5, plus $2 for "Sly Fox" cheddar sauce), and raw bar offerings from $1 to $10 per item. Beers like Flying Fish seasonal and Victory Prima Pilsner are $4 each, and there are specials on wines by the glass ($6) and assorted cocktails ($8). Revelresorts.com
Chart House at Golden Nugget
On Sunday and Monday, Thursday and Friday from 4-7pm in Chart House's bar and lounge, patrons can get a $6 Pomegranate Mojito or Agave Nectar-Rita, a $5 hummus trio, $7 oysters on the half shell, or $6 firecracker shrimp in a spicy dynamite sauce.
