By Monica Wendel - I stared at my DeLonghi Gran Dama in amazement. Why wasn't it turning on? Like some compact deaf-mute R2D2, it just sat there silently, its blue display screen dark and motionless, while I fumed about its untapped espresso power. Lost in reverie, I suddenly realized I had forgotten to plug it in. Whoops. My Gran Dama flashed into life, and with a deep breath, I took a plunge into its warm waters. Well, metaphorical warm waters, considering the water tank was empty. However... Read More
By Nicole Jones -
Cuisine in the battlefield has come a long way over the years. Early on soldiers had meager provisions. Their rations usually consisted of nothing more than beef, peas and rice. Oddly enough, troops serving under General Washington received an assortment of spirits – rum, whiskey and mead in their rations. It wasn't until the Temperance movement gained momentum in the early 1800s that alcohol was eliminated from soldiers' provisions. As a substitution for the spirits, coffee and sugar were added to their rations. In 1832 President Andrew Jackson signed a law mandating that coffee and sugar become a component of any soldier's ration. It must have stuck...Read More

Founded in 1995 by Gilda Radner's husband Gene Wilder and close friend Joanna Bull, Gilda's Club is an organization that provides club members, their friends and family a place to retreat, laugh and learn during an extremely emotional time.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Good morning! Welcome to your daily wake-up call. Each weekday we'll give you inspiring words to help you make today great.â¨
"It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it." —Ana¯s Nin, French-born American author
Get rid of the "same old" and do something different this weekend. If you stay in your comfort zone, you won't get the opportunity to discover new foods, places and things you may actually find you like. If you love that one local restaurant, try a new dish the next time you go. If black is YOUR color, try a dark purple or charcoal-gray sweater. You may actually like the change. —Crystal Tate, Assistant Editor

Video Results for "schools"
Pleasanton, CA - "schools" search results
About Education
If you or someone that you know has children of school age, then you will be looking into a good public school in which to enroll the child or children. Local public schools should all have advertised registration dates for people to bring in their children to enroll. Some things to look for when deciding which local public schools to look at for your child include cleanliness, a principal who is on site during registration, a friendly and courteous staff, and a well organized office. Local public schools sometimes get a bum rap for things that happen, such as gang related activities and bullying. However, local public schools are just that, public, which means that everyone has a right to an education regardless of race, sex, or poverty level. Most local public schools have an on site campus security system that helps to keep the student and faculty body safe. Most of the time the local public schools dont have major problems, but there are things to keep in mind when choosing a local public school for your child. You want to make sure that all of the local public schools that you are inquiring about have plenty of school books for each classroom. You want to make sure that the local public schools have a system in place of notifying parents in the event of an emergency. You want to see that the local public schools have an appropriate method of handling problems that arise in the classroom in order to keep the problem from becoming more serious. The local public schools that you look at for your child should be kept in neat, clean, orderly fashion.

More on Public Schools
When you go to the local public schools take a list of questions that you would like to ask, and don't be afraid to question things that you may not understand. All local public schools should have emergency plans available upon request for you to view. These emergency plans should include plans of action concerning weather, gun threats in the school, bomb threats, and more. If you ask to see the plan and the local public schools are giving you the run around then you need to look elsewhere. The most important thing is the safety of your child, and as the parent or guardian you have the right to know how things will be handled should they arise. Local public schools should also be willing to arrange a meeting for you with the childs teacher if you request that it be done. Teachers have a very hard job, and trying to teach in a classroom where children are being disruptive, defiant, and using vulgarity is very difficult for the teacher and the other students alike. However these are very real things that happen in the local public schools, therefore you should ask the administration what will be done in those scenarios, and if you ever hear from your child of things going on that arent right, you have the right to go to the school and meet with the administration and voice your concerns.

I bot a decrepit HRA214 at a yard sale. The Roto Stop cable was stripped off with the clutch disengaged. I don't want to spend $24 for a new cable assmbly and don't need the BBC anyway. I removed the blade but i cannot get the ball ramp plate to rotate to engage the clutch plate. Do i need to remove the drive plate/pulley etc. to do this? Will it crank ok with the extra load?
Is this a bad concept? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If all it needs is a $24 cable to become a functioning lawn mower, then yes your proposal is a "bad concept". It is bad from both a cost/benefit and safety perspective. |
LOL.Come on now, 24 bucks and a bit of time will not break the bank. If everything else is o.k. you will have a great mower. |
- Posted by Melissa(email@example.com) onWed, May 5, 10 at 16:05
Does anyone know where I can find the actual Roto-Stop Lever and most likely the cable? I just bought a Honda HRA214 and The woman told me she had it running, which I can believe, however I didn't notice the roto-stop lever that is shown on just about every picture I have seen online. Will my blade engage with out that lever? |

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me. | 1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. |
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. | 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. |
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. | 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. |
4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. | 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. |
5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. | 5 You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. |
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. | 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. |
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? | 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? |
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. | 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. |
9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, | 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, |
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. | 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. |
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me; | 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," |
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. | 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. |
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. | 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. |
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. | 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. |
15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. | 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, |
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. | 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. |
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! | 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! |
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. | 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. |
19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. | 19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! |
20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. | 20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. |
21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? | 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? |
22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. | 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. |
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; | 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. |
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. | 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |

Are there big incentives or something for appliance stores?
3 places in 2 states really pushing a Jenn Air package. The convos were something like this: Me: I'd like to look at a Bluestar
Follow-Up Postings:
As far as I can tell Jenn-Air = KitchenAid with different trim and higher price. Same layout and Whirlpool components underneath. Ford vs Mercury. Maybe Jenn Air = higher commission for the salesman. |
- Posted by eileen1217 (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 14:28
I have experienced the exact same thing at different stores and wondered the same thing. In any event, did you happen to look at the jenn-air? Overall I liked it, but thought the touch screen panel was misplaced. You have to bend down quite a bit to see the control? anyone else have opinion on this? not many reviews on this range. |
These are sometimes called "intimidation clowns". The best way to deal with them is to simply repeat your initial request and stare at them until they either comply or beat it. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 15:29
Boss: "Push these Jenn Airs out of here. We bought too many and their backing up at the warehouse." SalesGuy: "Ok, there's a likely sucker coming in the door now." |
- Posted by Caspian101 (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 12:50
My take would be that JennAir is at the top of the Whirlpool heirarchy but is essentially the same as the KA/Maytag/Whirlpool product underneath. Given the higher price, that likely means stronger margins and higher commission for the sales team. Caspian |
- Posted by trevorlawson (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 13:53
From A retailers perspective...When it comes to Jenn Aire it's all about the following 1) End of year rebate. And possibly hitting targets so they can keeping the line next year. Try to find a store / sales person who wants to help "YOU THE CUSTOMER" to select whats right for you. A free dishwasher means squat if you buy appliances you don't want or don't have the features or abilities you want. |
I worked retail appliance sales for a few years and most of the sales people I worked with would look at the Spiff sheet from the manufactures to see what units where paying the highest spiffs and boldly state these will be the only units they will sell and will push all their customers to the highest Spiff package |
Yeah, I noticed that too except for me it was all about Thermador. That said, we really like the Thermador 48" range and will probably sell the free DW to get a more "American" rack layout. "American" was the salesperson's term. |
New here but doing tons of shopping and research. I went to our local appliance store and had the exact same experience. Sales guy was pushing JA and Thermador sooooo hard. He said (and I am not sure if this is true) that the JA and KA C/D 72" fridge are exactly the same. Exactly. JA may be a fine product. But I don't want to buy from him, he was so annoying. |
off topic...I saw the thermador, was going to get the range top. I loved the black porcelain drip area (I forget the name under the burners). The star burner heads looked cool and I liked the way they were raised. I just couldn't get past the on/off simmer feature. Everything I read said the solenoids that controlled that broke often (and it only makes sense). I ended up with a CC range top and never looked back. |
- Posted by buffalotina (My Page) on Tue, May 15, 12 at 23:23
eeds: When I got my fridge ca 18 months ago the JA and KA models you mention looked identical to me, except for different styles on the outside. I wanted white and did not want the JA version because the JA white was the floating glass business and was more expensive in any case. Therefore went with the KA. It has been working fine and I like the layout a lot. I don't expect it to last as long as it should for the price, but who knows. Good luck! |

Lynwood cops uncover 2-acre pot-growing operation, seize $3M in plants
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY firstname.lastname@example.com September 4, 2012 4:50PM
Lynwood Police Chief Michael Mears
Updated: October 6, 2012 1:50PM
Lynwood police have uncovered a sophisticated pot-growing operation that spanned two acres and produced plants with an estimated street value of $3 million, police Chief Mike Mears said Tuesday in a news release.
Mears would not comment about any suspects, saying the investigation is ongoing.
Lynwood police, led by Sgt. Jessie Hernandez, on Thursday executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2600 block of Glenwood-Dyer Road and discovered the home had been transformed into a "cannabis-growing and manufacturing facility," Mears said in the release.
During the search, police noticed a water hose that ran a half-mile from the house to a nearby field, where they found two acres of marijuana in various stages of growth, police said. The set-up had its own irrigation system.
Officers also located a small bunker with firearms and coolers for those who worked the fields, police said, and police removed an estimated 2 tons of marijuana plants from the fields.
Inside the house, Mears said, police discovered that every room was set up for a different phase of pot growing and packaging. An estimated 10 pounds of marijuana was taken from the home, along with manufacturing and packaging equipment, he said.
All of the confiscated marijuana is being held at a secure location until pending litigation is complete and a destroy order is obtained, Mears said.
Assisting Lynwood police in removing plants from the field were agents from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, which is part of a federal program whose mission includes coordination efforts to reduce the production, manufacturing, distribution, transportation and chronic use of illegal drugs, according to its website.
Cook County sheriff's helicopters were used for aerial surveillance "from which we were able to grasp the true scale of this illegal operation," Mears said.
Mears commended his officers and village public works employees who worked for several days to dismantle the operation.

Feminist Video Blogger Is Driven From Home by Death Threats
It's hard to take seriously the online cesspools where men's rights activists and not-all-men apologists congregate. But as ridiculous as they seem, a lot of these guys are dead serious, and capable of causing very real havoc.

Bruce Pardo Dressed As Santa Kills 9 People (Photos)
by Meg at . CommentsBruce Jeffrey Pardo, 45, recently divorced and without a job, arrived on the doorstep of his ex-wife's parents at 11:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve with a large present in one hand and a semi automatic handgun in the other. When a young 8 year old girl opened the door, he shot her in the face and opened fire on the two dozen people inside the Covina, California home, killing eight and wounding two.
The home on a quiet Knollcrest Drive cul-de-sac some 22 miles from L.A., was then torched by Pardo. The former engineer who had worked in the aerospace industry, had gift wrapped a 2-1/2 foot high pressurized tank that had been converted into a homemade flame thrower. He used it to propel a highly flammable liquid throughout the home before he fled the scene.
According to Captain Mike Brown, it took 80 firefighters several hours to bring the 40 to 50 foot high flames under control. Nine bodies have been recovered in the smoldering carnage. Among the missing and presumed to have died are Pardo's ex-wife and her parents 80 year old Joseph Ortega and 70 year old Alicia Ortega.
Several of the party-goers were able to escape through a backdoor and rushed to neighboring homes. Among those were an 8 year old girl and a 16 year old girl, who were taken to area hospitals with gunshot wounds. Both are expected to recover.
Police received a call at 3:30 a.m. from Pardo's brother who summoned them to his home in Sylmar, 25 miles away from the scene of the crime. When they arrived they found Bruce Pardo dead from a self inflicted single gun shot to his head. Police later discovered that he had booby trapped his car with a pipebomb - which later exploded. A bomb squad reports that no one was injured in that surprise twist.
Bruce Pardo had lived in Montrose with his wife and her three children until they separated in the spring of 2008 after a marriage that lasted one year. Their divorce was filed in September and the settlement was reached last week.
Pardo, as in the past, had volunteered to serve as an usher at midnight mass on Christmas Eve but he never made it to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Jan Detanna, head usher at Holy Redeemer said, "I'm just--this is shocking. He was the nicest guy you can imagine. Always a pleasure to talk to, always a big smile."
During a news conference this morning, police indicate Pardo was carrying $17,000 in cash and had a plane ticket from Los Angeles to Canada. Police believe that he altered his getaway plan because he was suffering from third degree burns to his body. He broke into his brothers home and killed himself instead.

Honey's like Love -
I can guarantee you that these men are not insane They are pushed to temporary insanity through a gender biased legal system that violates their 13th Amendment rights. They become slaves through legalized indentured servitude and peonage. As many slaves did they turn to suicide and murder for freedom.
The legal profession has built a multi billion dollar industry that rapes men. Did you know 30,000 men a year take their own lives due to alimony and divorce and it doesn't even make the paper?
Please consider what you would do if 65% of your income were taken from you every week. Could you survive? Few can survive a 20% cut! How long could you take it?
If you had to provide for an ex spouse until they "die or remarry"... wouldn't "die" seem kinda nice?
Does your employer have to pay you 65% of your income for the rest of your life because you became accustomed to a "standard of livng"?? Check with 6 million people that have been laid off. I believe they get $300 a week unemployment.... and that is only for 9 months. Did you know that if you lose your job the alimony continues to accrue at 8% interest and an arrest warrant is issued? I think fear of being sodomized in jail because you can't afford the financial obligation force upon you by the State might make you choose murder and suicide. Are you beginning to grasp the injustice and see what could have been going through Pardo's mind knowing he was financially ruined for life and going to jail?
I work with 70 year old men paying alimony living on $400 a MONTH of what is left of their garnished social security. They were once productive members of society. Now they get foodstamps, charity or goverment assisted housing. If men knew the prejudiced divorce laws they would never get married! . Not with 60% divorce odds. 99% of all alimony is paid by men These laws need to be changed or we will see much more of these types of murder suicides. When more Judges and lawyers are affected as victimes, you might see them urge for change. and our state reps to get the law changed. Texas has a maximum 3 year "support".
I am amazed at the support of women wanting to change these laws too. Once they understand the effect it has on their brothers, sons, fathers and other family members. It is also a slap in the face for all women who have fought for their rights to be independent and self sufficient.
More and more Americans are leaving the country to seek refuge. These were productive citizens. Soon we will only have the parasites left wondering where their next host is.
And for those who don't or can't leave... their future and options are bleak....
Thanks Bill Henry. The majority of the comments posted here are mad. Many a man has wreaked havoc on the life of a woman or child and women don't go beating and killing men. I would advise all women against trying to financially exploit men. Some women blatantly seek financial gain from men. They are different from women who reasonably expect their spouse to share responsibilities with them. Some hateful men, like the ones above, refuse to tell the difference between a reasonable, honest woman, and a dishonest one. Then they have the nerve to seek "revenge" on people likely just as innocent as they claim they are. These people who feel anyone has a right to murder a woman should be traced and jailed- they are insane, and very, very, very, very, very, very dangerous persons.
He was pushed into a corner. She kept the ring, the dog, and $10,000. She was after the money. She got that and much more. His mother even sold him out.
lilly, imagine if on opposite day you married a guy who you thought loved you, who lived with you for a few years, only to divorce you, take your children, and slap a 1500+ dollar bill on you per month. You watch in court as the man you thought loved you says lie upon lie in a very successful attempt to milk you for all your worth. In essence, he used you and then turned you into a slave, as you're working hard hours for NOTHING (its going to him). Can you begin to see the rage? This is not attention seeking. If a woman fell out of love with me and divorced me I would not harm her in anyway, because she has the right and I would accept that. If on the other hand she tried to abuse the court system and milk me for all I'm worth, then that would be an entirely different ball game. I do not agree with what this guy did because he involved INNOCENT CHILDREN. If he had not involved innocent children I would say MORE POWER TO HIM. Also, Bill Henry, take your best shot.
Arden, ur crazy
he should of never of done that
i feel sorry for those u lost their ♥ ones =(
all of this is beyond me. Though i agree that men are treated unfairly in SOME cases, i fail to see the reason any sane person would act so cold heartedly. the lack od reverence for human life is mind blowing, for me at least. i hope that the people that voiced their pride and and understanding for this cruel unacceptable act are merely doing so in a pathetic attempt for attention.
The men who support this monster are dangerous and should be locked up. Typically they are cowards who are violent towards women. They couldn't take a real man so they take it out on women. I'd like to take out the men who support this loser, the loser that shoots an innocent little girl in the face. They aren't men.....real men.....they are cowards. Sadly......some are dangerous who can get a gun and shoot anyone just like this loser did. That was a beautiful family and Ms. Pardo was a lovely woman. We now know this coward stopped showing any affection, stopped supporting her, stopped having anything to do with her. It was he who was the cause of the divorce...not her. She loved him. Then she found out the coward didn't even support a child who had drown under his watch.....his own son. You guys up here are cowards. You need your a*^es kicked by a real man.
This guy was an electrical engineer - obviously no dummy! He had no criminal background or history of violence. I understand he was out of work, deep in debt, was denied unemployment compensation, and going through a vicious divorce. Any one of these things would've put any man on the edge. The combination of all four was the perfect storm. I don't condone what he did, but can understand why he snapped.
I've been there. I know the hell he was living. Why it is "fair" to destroy a mans life so maintain a woman's standard of living is beyong me. I personally know a man who's ex threated to accuse him of molesting his children if he sought custody. He ended up with full custody after his childred were old enough to see what a lying their mother was. Sometimes vigilante justice is the only justice.
i live in Washington state, i am female. the way the system beats down guys here is horrible. they do not have a chance. i frequently see women getting married to step up a notch. they have nothing and marrying anybody with a good job guarantees them a big payout at divorce time no matter how short the marraige! nobody knows what went on with Mr Pardo and this whole family to drive him to this. it's easy to make this family into Saints. who knows how they berated or abused him? the courts need to start making men's rights a priority or more of this will happen!

text: You know, I don't like to complain, but sometimes my job is really hard. There's lots of grunt work running a site like The Frisky. Lots of research and photo editing to do, really monotonous stuff. Like this morning! I got into the office and was sipping my ice coffee as I went through photo after photo of hot dudes sweating for what seemed like hours. I had to get really crafty in order to find just the right pictures — I searched through tons of photos of "hot guys running," "hot guys working out," and "hot guys dripping with sweat" until I finally found the perfect 16 photos for this steaming hot slideshow. Sigh. It's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it.

Bo Obama
President Obama and his family have a new pet! A Portuguese Water Dog puppy named Bo. Back to Article
The new debt numbers work out to about $51,000 for every American, according to U.S. Census population estimates.
"Today's news is another sad reminder of President Obama's broken promise to cut the deficit in half," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in a statement today. "This debt is a drain on our economy and a crushing burden on our kids and grandkids, and it's yet another indication that the president's policies have made things worse."
Frankly, Obama knows how to use money, thats for sure. He uses all of he goverents money of programs that create lazy people; people who dont want to work because they get funds. It isnt right. ANd all of you for Obama, getting a job in the future wil be quite a struggle. Have fun, I know I will.

VIDEO: Ten months in a tiny prison cell with padded walls and flickering lights have done little to alter 26 year-old Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil's views on the military government running Egypt in the transitional phase.

Five Questions for Editors about Twitter et al.
Do you have a disaster recovery plan for social media? Given last week's announcement by Twitter that it would comply with tweet censoring in certain parts of the world, it might be time for editors and journalists to think what this kind of policy adoption means for them, both now and in the longterm. If you are a journalist who regularly uses social media tools in your work (Facebook, Twitter, Google +), or an editor who encourages their use in your newsroom , here are five basic questions you should know the answer to.

After Crystal Cox Verdict, It's Time to Define Who Is a Journalist
Last month, the Crystal Cox verdict re-energized a debate among journalism's most passionate and articulate thought leaders and professionals by begging the question: Who is a journalist?

For Journalists, Cyber-security Training Slow to Take Hold
For centuries, journalists have been willing to go to prison to protect their sources. Back in 1848, New York Herald correspondent John Nugent spent a month in jail for refusing to tell a U.S. Senate committee his source for a leak exposing the secret approval of a treaty with Mexico. In a digital age, however, journalists need more than steadfast conviction to keep themselves and their sources safe. Government intelligence agencies, terrorist groups, and criminal syndicates are using electronic surveillance to learn what journalists are doing and who their sources are. It seems many journalists are not keeping pace. (Committee to Protect Journalists, 1/27)

AFRICA: How Africa Tweets: Visualised
INFOGRAPHIC: Twitter is often thought of as a European and American phenomenon. But how does Africa use the social networking tool? Tweetminster and Portland have analysed more than 11.5m geo-located Tweets from the last three months of 2011. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, use of Twitter is dominated by Africa's richest country: South Africa sent twice as many Tweets (5,030,226) as the next most active Kenya (2,476,800). Nigeria (1,646,212), Egypt (1,214,062) and Morocco (745,620) make up the remainder of the top five most active countries. According to Portland, 68% of those polled said that they use Twitter to monitor news. They've produced this neat visualisation to show the distribution of tweets. (The Guardian, 1/27)
AFRICA: Building Websites that Work in Africa
It is interesting that sometimes it's not the most robust and well-designed solutions that get picked up by consumers.

Some estimates during the middle of 2011 estimated that around 472 million smartphones would be sold worldwide by the end of the year. (Afrinnovator, 2/2)

AFRICA: Press Freedom and Development in Africa
The National Endowment for Democracy's Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) and Internews hosted an excellent discussion on "Can media development make aid more effective?", which I was able to catch part of via a live stream on the CIMA website. This got me thinking about how press freedom in Nigeria, or lack thereof, has impacted, political stability, governance, and development in that country. (Council on Foreign Relations, 1/31)
Twitter's Censorship Policy
China State-Run Newspaper Praises Twitter's New Censorship Policy
Twitter's announcement last week that it could begin censoring tweets on a country-by-country basis drew criticism from many free-speech activists, including Reporters Without Borders, a global nonprofit group that advocates for journalists. Other observers were less concerned, attributing Twitter's move to the realities of operating in a global environment with differing legal systems and social norms. On Monday, Twitter's new policy received praise from one source the company might wish had practiced a little self-censorship itself: a Chinese state-run newspaper called the Global Times. (Time, 1/30)
Thoughts on Twitter's Latest Move
It's been difficult to comment on the move given the extreme reaction by Twitter's own community. Lots of "I told you so" from the conspiracy theorists who think that this is because of Saudi Prince Alwaleed's stake in the company, compounded by the #occupy crowd continuing to claim their hashtag was censored in Twitter's trending topics made me want to avoid the subject entirely. But alas. Let's be clear: This is censorship. There's no way around that. But alas, Twitter is not above the law. (Jillian C. York, 1/26)
Why Twitter's New Policy Is Helpful for Free-speech Advocates
I know many people are upset with Twitter's announcement that it will now be able to block tweets country by country. There has been a lot of excellent writing / reporting on the content explaining that this is not as bad as it looks. (Technosociology, 1/27)
Sorry Dick, but Twitter Is Definitely a Media Entity
At the Dive Into Media conference on Monday, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said the company doesn't see itself as a media entity, although he admited it is in the media business. It's not surprising Twitter wouldn't want to come right out and call itself a media company, since a growing part of its business is working with traditional media companies - including television networks and movie studios - to promote their content through its network. But in most of the ways that matter, Twitter definitely qualifies as a media entity, which is why its decision to selectively censor the user-generated content that flows through its network is so important.

How to Easily Circumvent Twitter's Censorship
On Thursday, Twitter announced plans to restrict tweets in certain countries. By Friday, some clever folks already figured out an incredibly simple way to circumvent the service's censorship. (MSNBC, 1/27)
Freedom of Expression Concerns over Twitter's Country-specific Censorship Ability Prompt Users to Call for Protest
In a bid to "enter countries that may have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression," Twitter announced that it has the ability to begin censoring tweets on a country-by-country basis, the Associated Press (AP) reported Thursday, Jan. 26. The announcement has prompted fears that Twitter's commitment to free expression might be taking a back seat to profitability -- especially in light of the role Twitter played in the Arab spring and protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the United States. (Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, 1/27)
Thailand Is the World's First Government to Endorse Twitter's Censorship Feature
Twitter's controversial move towards enabling the censorsing of tweets has gained the backing of its first international government, after authorities in Thailand publicly endorsed the introduction. (The Next Web, 1/30)
Twitter Isn't Censoring You. Your Government Is.
It's barely been a day since Twitter made the announcement that, going forward, tweets could be censored based on the local laws that govern a user's location, and the rumour mill is hard at work trying to figure out the reasons behind the decision. (The Next Web, 1/27)

Aiding Media: New Thinking on Media Development
Yesterday I spent my lunchtime at the Center for International Media Assistance's event on Media Development and Aid Effectiveness. This event celebrated the release of a new report, 'Rethinking Media Development,' which drew some conclusions from the ongoing Media Mapping Project. (NDI Tech, 1/31)
Is Media Freedom at the Heart of Media Development?
What's media assistance about anyway? Actually, there's not really a straightforward answer to this question. I realized that when I listened to Daniel Kaufmann of the Brookings Institute earlier this week at an event hosted by the Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) and Internews. Kaufmann's answer was that media assistance is about media freedom. A free media is a necessary, although not a sufficient condition for successful media development. (World Bank, 2/1)
Digital Borderlands
I wanted to reflect on an OCAF talk I went to last week by Wolfgang Zeller, about the borderlands of 'sugango' (Sudan-Uganda-Congo) and how thinking about borders might help us think about other kinds of borders, digital or otherwise. (Laura Mann, 1/31)
Google+, Real Names and Real Problems
At the launch of Google+, Google's attempt to create an integrated social network similar to Facebook, I wrote about the potential benefits and risks of the new service to journalists who use social media in dangerous circumstances. Despite early promises of relatively flexible terms of service at Google+, the early days of implementation were full of arbitrary account suspensions - particularly of pseudonymous users - and the appeals process was unclear. The result was a lot of early bad press for the service from the traditional "first adopter" crowd, a framing it has subsequently struggled to escape. (Committee to Protect Journalists, 1/30)
Relearning to Forget
On January 25th the European Commission formally unveiled an overhaul of the continent's data-protection rules. The proposal for a snappily titled "Regulation on the Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of Such Data" is unlikely to become a bestseller. Yet the 117-page booklet might affect every one of the European Union's 500m citizens, every one of its businesses, and many more beyond. It is "the biggest, most impactful piece of legislation that the European Union could produce unless they developed tax powers," says Joe McNamee of European Digital Rights, a lobby group.

The Debate Over Anti-Piracy Laws
Congress has postponed floor votes for the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), bills intended to increase protections for copyrighted digital content. This marked a victory for opponents who mounted landmark digital protests to call attention to what they believe was a move to give the government sweeping powers to shut down sites accused of copyright infringement.

RUSSIA: Russia's New Viral Dissident Art
With broadcast and print media largely under state control, the Russian Internet has been a key platform for opposition activism. Ahead of antigovernment protests on February 4, there has been a flowering of visual art largely spread through social networks. Slickly produced animations parody the country's leadership and mashed-up digital images give a contemporary spin to Russia's authoritarian history. There has been a circular and reciprocal relationship between online and offline activism: slogans might start on the Internet, appear on protesters' signs, get snapped by smartphone cameras, and make their way back to the Internet again to be remixed into new digital creations.

Until the Commonwealth Of Fk You Money is granted statehood, this would seem to be a well-nigh insurmountable problem.

Overview - Ezekiel 34 | |
1 | A reproof of the shepherds. |
7 | God's judgment against them. |
11 | His providence over his flock. |
20 | The kingdom of Christ. |
Ezekiel 34:27 (King James Version)
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

Cell phones lit up as runners called home to assure family members they were safe. Ambulances sped toward hospitals with patients in need of aid.
Cleveland residents stayed tuned in from the first explosion to the subsequent manhunt as it unfolded 1,000 miles away.
The "City with Spirit" responded with individual donations and a Cleveland Fun Run for Boston on June 19.
People for Care and Learning executive director Fred Garmon chose the event as a platform to announce a much larger project: a relay run from Cleveland to Boston leading up to the 2014 Boston marathon.
Seven months later the fledgling idea has become a full-force mission carried by 30 local runners.
Organizers Cameron Fisher of the Church of God International Offices and Matt Ryerson of the United Way of Bradley County recently sat down to discuss the Boston bombing and upcoming relay run.
Ryerson said the Boston Marathon bombing was personal because of whom was hurt.
"Cameron has run races. His wife and kids go to these races and they stand in the cold, in the rain, in the sun for two hours waiting for him to cross the finish line," Ryerson said. "Well, that is who these terrorists attacked. They didn't attack the guys running the race."
Ryerson Continued , "They attacked these families who were waiting for their loved ones at the finish line."
Plans for the 5K fun run initially sparked the idea of a relay run to Boston. Some laughed the idea off, while others became intrigued. The question settled in to stay: what if they ran to Boston?
Brain-storming sessions took over as the project moved from an idea to a tangible reality. Ryerson said he initially responded defensively when people asked after the project. He then realized the genuine interest being expressed.
With the interest came 30 runners from all walks of life eager to join the trek on April 12.
"I think it really comes down to the idea itself. Here is the opportunity to do an extraordinarily good thing, and have an incredible adventure at the same time," Ryerson said.
"The idea of getting in the vans, sleeping very little, running in all types of conditions attracts a certain socially crazy person, but it is one of those things you know you'll be talking about forever."
Lee University's 65 Roses 5K for Cystic Fibrosis coincides with the first day of the relay run. All 30 runners will meet in front of the Paul Conn Student Union on 11th Street. Fisher predicted the launch might take place between the 5K and the walk.
Supporters and those involved in the Boston run will then jog through residential Cleveland on their way to the Greenway. Two miles later, the runners will stop at the old First Tennessee bank on Raider Drive. Goodbyes will be said before runners climb into the five waiting vehicles.
One runner will then start the trek off as the other groups drive ahead.
"All 30 of us are not going to be all in a slow van the whole time. We will be leap frogging over each other," Fisher said. "This group will go up to a Holiday Express and sleep for eight hours, because that group of [six or seven] do not have to run for another 10 hours or so."
Added Fisher, "It is a logistical nightmare, if you think about it."
The goal is to have at least one person running every hour of the eight-day trek. The average hourly distance covered is expected to be anywhere from five to seven miles. At the end of the hour, a fresh runner will step up.
Most of the run will take place on Route 11. The remaining roads will take the runners through Washington D.C., New York City and straight into the heart of Boston.
Organizers have taken pains to ensure every detail has been closely examined.
"A couple of things play in our favor," Ryerson said. "If everything goes perfect, which it won't, but if everything goes perfect, we would actually get there 14 hours early. So, we have literally put in a 14-hour buffer."
According to the current schedule, the runners will arrive in Boston on Sunday, April 20.
Local sponsors entered the fray in an effort to support the cause.
Debbie Melton of Don Ledford Automotive Center donated four vehicles for the 1,000 mile trip. Coca Cola promised 1,000 bottles of water and Powerade. Cooke's Food Store will supply snacks for the journey. Dan and Janie Cooke committed to feeding the group the entire trip through Panera Bread restaurants. Holiday Inn Express guaranteed shelter for the duration of the run.
And each of the 30 runners pledged to pay $400 to cover personal costs and gas throughout the trip.
Ryerson further explained the importance of the runner's personal investment.
"So if you donate, every penny goes to the charities," Ryerson said. "We don't want you to cover gas, we don't want you to cover food. That is why these sponsorships helped so much."
The two charities in question are Dream Big, a nonprofit in Boston dedicated to empowering girls through sports and physical activity; and the One Step Ahead Foundation, which has promised to provide prosthetic legs for the children who lost theirs in the Boston bombing.
The goal is to raise $50,000 to split evenly between the two charities.
Ryerson said this is a one-time event.
"There is no next one," he said. "This is it. I mean, the planning on this is massive. We want this to be a big, one-time adventure that inspires people to make a difference."
Information on the runners, the travel plan and the charities can be found at runnowrelay.org.
Fisher said there is another side goal to "put Cleveland, Tenn. on the map."
Both Fisher and Ryerson expressed an interest in letting others know about the "City with Spirit."
"The spirit of this community is unique. I mean, the giving, philanthropic spirit of support — it doesn't exist everywhere," Ryerson said. "We know that. We read the newspapers and see other cities. It just doesn't exist like it does here. We live it every day."
Continued Ryerson, "This is a great way for us to make this trip an outreach on behalf of Cleveland, Tenn."
More than 1,000 miles separate the runners from their destination. The relay will start Saturday, April 12 with 30 pairs of feet pounding the distance between the two cities. Each step will be filled with hope for a brighter Marathon Monday as the breath which was held nearly a year ago is finally released.

Bought to replace my first and last internal pack…
Source: bought it new
Bought to replace my first and last internal pack that I will ever own.
- Highly durable
- Storage space
- Kelty customer service
- Manner in which the weight is distributed
- Haven't found any after using for several miles
I bought this pack after jumping on the internal bandwagon and being highly unsatisfied. I absolutely love it! I have used this pack for several miles of trails both wide open trails and narrow unbeaten trails. I could live out of this pack if I needed to for as long as I needed.
The weight is distributed much better than my internal. I have been able to strap items to the frame if I needed (my Gerber machete is fixed to the side) and the pockets on the outside have sufficient storage for water purification, cookware, cook stove, etc.
When I received the pack the main zipper compartment on the front of the pack was zipped shut and there was no zipper. I called Kelty and not only did an English speakng American answer the phone but I received a brand new pack within a week. I like this pack so much that I have placed an order for fifteen Kelty Yukon external frame packs for my scout troop.
I wrote a review years ago for the women's version. I LOVE MINE! The only caveat to age I am giving my pack is I am redesigning the fabric with Silnylon and mesh (I am shooting to carve 2 pounds off the pack weight :D) I wouldn't trade my external for a long haul...nope nope nope!

A great pack. Just needs some time to be adjusted…
Source: bought it new
A great pack. Just needs some time to be adjusted correctly to fit your needs.
- Well built
- Lightweight
- Very large main compartment
- Load rides too high when fully packed with factory setup
- 4 small side compartments. 2 small & 1 large would be nice
- Be sure to carry back-up clovis pins
This is about as good of an external frame pack as you can find nowadays, since the powers that be seem to want to force everyone into using undergunned internal frame packs. I did, however, find that if you pack the main compartment to its max, the load sits WAY above both your head and the frame. The "Frankenstein's Monster" effect.
I adjusted this by moving the entire pack down the frame, while leaving the suspension system where it belongs. I am now able to use the pack's full capacity, and even lash my tent to the top of the frame with the load only slightly overhead, and lashing whatever else to the bottom of the frame. That's the glory of the external frame: it can be adjusted and tweaked to meet your needs.
I suggest anyone purchasing this pack spend ample time playing with different setups with both the suspension system and bag placement before hitting the trail with a heavy load. If you take the time, and fine tune it to your needs, you'll find that this pack is both very comfortable, and large enough to pack for a long trip in the backcountry.
The only other feature I do not care for with this pack is that there are four small zippered compartments on the side. That seems a little excessive for packing small, easily accessible items. I think a better design would be to have two small compartments on one side, and a larger long compartment on the other that can hold a hatchet, pick, or other useful tool (like a handle of booze perhaps).
Overall, though, this pack is great, and seems like it will give me years and years of good times.
Great review!!! I too am a fan of the external frame packs and wish people weren't so mainstreamed into the "new models". Thanks for a killer review!

Price Paid: $125
Purchased this backpack earlier this summer and took it on a 5-day pack trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
The pack is outstanding. Several others in the group had internal frame packs and suffered from uneven weight distribution. My pack weighed 40 lbs and was supported evenly by this excellent external frame pack.
In my opinion external frame packs are the best. The Kelty Trekker is outstanding.
Very light and holds everything I need. Wish it had…
Price Paid: $130
Very light and holds everything I need.
Wish it had a better compartment for my hydration system but the top flap zipper works just fine.
I like external frames as I attach additional items as needed for my trips. Internal packs I have experience with don't measure up. However I've always been biased to external.
