Ever since the Internet blackout to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act numerous legislative proposals and treaties from the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)–, which was signed into law by the President last year, and is now being debated in Europe -- to cybersecurity related proposals having nothing whatsoever to do with protection of intellectual property, have been labeled the "new SOPA". "SOPA'd" is reportedly even becoming a verb on the Hill (as in don't get SOPA'd). While this may be an effective rallying cry to bring the agreement to the attention of recent IP activists, it obscures the truth about the agreement.
The debate surrounding ACTA in the EU is a prime example of this phenomena. IP skeptics have labeled ACTA "SOPA's evil twin" but even opponents of ACTA, including journalists at Ars Technica who have followed the ACTA negotiations closely and have criticized the negotiating process and approach of ACTA, have publicly stated that the comparisons with SOPA and PROTECT IP are totally false. With all of the misinformation surrounding ACTA, we have taken some time to clear up often-repeated myths about the agreement.
Myth: ACTA was negotiated in secret
Fact: Many of the complaints about lack of transparency of the negotiating process stem from the fact that USTR shared drafts of negotiating texts with members of its Industry Trade Advisory Committees. Consultation with ITACs is a long standing part of US trade negotiation practices. Sixteen different ITACs exist to cover the panoply of manufacturing and services sectors in the United States. ITACs were established as a result of the International Trade Act of 1974, in order to ensure that the US Government consults with affected private sector commercial interests when formulating its trade policy. ITAC advisors are charged with providing advisory opinions to the USTR and Department of Commerce on how various trade agreements promote the economic interests of the United States, and whether particular proposals provide for equity and reciprocity for affected industry sectors. ITAC members are appointed jointly by the Secretary of Commerce and the USTR for a charter of two years, and must obtain a security clearance. U.S citizens, who are not full time employees of a governmental entity, and who represent a U.S. entity that trades internationally (or an association of such entities) are eligible to apply, without regard to political affiliation. Members are appointed based on individual knowledge and balance of industry representation in the ITACs.
In addition to the ITAC process, USTR also provided access to copies of negotiating texts (on the same terms as texts were provided to ITAC members) to interested members of the public representing consumers, and entities not currently serving on ITACs. At least 42 individuals representing a variety of interests including Public Knowledge, Center for Democracy and Technology, library groups, CCIA, CEA, Google, eBay, Dell and Intel participated in the discussions of the agreement through this additional process.
Finally, there was significant press coverage and publicly available information about the U.S negotiating position throughout the process.

Through Strength of Will
A preview of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game |
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game | Published 01 December 2010 |
Middle-earth is a land of wonder and enchantment. However, dark shadows loom on the horizon, threatening to enshroud the world in eternal night. Who can stay this terrible storm? What hope is there against the shadow of the Dark Lord?
Greetings, anxious heroes! Welcome to another exciting preview of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. We started off these previews with an overview, highlighting some mechanics and the cooperative aspect of the game, and then moved on to learn about Quests. Today we will delve deeper into the game and explore the first of the four spheres of influence from which players can build their decks.
Each sphere of influence comes with its own unique strategies and play styles. And while each sphere is capable in its own right, they really come to life when mixing with and playing off of other spheres. First, let's take a look at Spirit.
The sphere of Spirit is mainly focused on Willpower, questing, and Threat management. Spirit represents an individual's resolve and determination, making Spirit-focused decks great for questing. Each hero in the game has a Willpower Strength rating, which represents their effectiveness when committing to a quest. The higher your heroes' Willpower, the higher their chances are of successfully making progress on the Quest. Heroes such as Éowyn also have abilities that make them even more formidable when questing.
During the Quest Phase, all heroes and allies committed to the quest must have enough Willpower to endure whatever threats they might encounter on their journey. Once players have decided who they are committing to the Quest, one Encounter card per player is revealed and added to the staging area. If the amount of Threat in the staging area exceeds the players' collective Willpower, each player raises the threat level on his dial. This will draw unwanted attention to the players, and it also brings them that much closer to being eliminated from the game. On the other hand, if the combined Willpower is greater than the amount of threat in the staging area, progress tokens are placed on the quest, bringing them that much closer to their goal.
Two of the main obstacles the heroes will face on their journey are Enemies and Locations. Enemies must be encountered directly by an individual player, but Locations are traveled to by all the players together. Dealing with these obstacles are the two primary ways to make progress on quests. The Spirit deck consists of many cards that reduce the time it takes to explore locations. A Lórien Guide can find the quickest route on a quest, while Event cards like Strength of Will can encourage your companions to forge on through the worst of locations.
Additionally, Spirit cards also focus on controlling player Threat. As mentioned earlier, players are eliminated if their Threat climbs too high. In case a Wandering Took is causing mischief and raising your threat too high, you might pass him off to a friend with lower Threat, or seek refuge with The Galadhrim.
Join us next time for another look at The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game!
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative card game that puts 1-2 players (or up to four with an additional Core Set) in control of the most powerful characters and artifacts of Middle-earth. Players will select heroes, gather allies, acquire artifacts, and coordinate their efforts to face Middle-earth's most dangerous fiends. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Adventure Pack expansions to the core game.
How many expansions will be pblished?
Release date. When!?
Any idea when this will be available for purchase? The card art looks beautiful! Looking forward to buying this game.
this games just keeps on looking promising
Glad I have it on pre-order after seeing this preview.
Been waiting for a coop game and this might be it. On top of that the art work is stunning
Nice! This is really making me want this game even more. Looking forward to reading more about the different spheres of influence. This game is at the top of my wish-list.
Looking promising!
The artwork is awesome, very different from what has been previously done with the franchise. It certainly looks very promising. I guess even if I don't get to play it, I will collect it.
Wandering Took, the gift that keeps on giving.
I want this game.
The more I read about this game, the more excited I get. Definitely a day 1 purchase.
I love the Wandering Took art, very mischevous! There's a lot of interest card text in these cards that points to the interaction between the players, very cool! It's not at all looking like just a tandem solitare game but like a true partnership where the players have to work and make decisions together. Especially when it says, "Locations are traveled to by all the players together." Exciting!

First Known Use of DESIGNER DRUG
Rhymes with DESIGNER DRUG
de·sign·er drug
noun \di-ˌzī-nər-\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of DESIGNER DRUG
designer drug
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Synthetic version of a controlled narcotic substance. Designer drugs usually are synthesized for the first time in an attempt to create a chemical whose molecular structure differs only slightly from that of some well-known controlled substance but whose effects are essentially the same. Because of the difference in molecular structure, the designer drug, unlike the controlled substance, ordinarily will not be specifically listed as illicit by law-enforcement organizations. Many designer drugs are manufactured in clandestine laboratories, often by amateurs; for this reason they are sometimes more dangerous than the drugs they are intended to replace. One of the best-known is MDMA (3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine), a variation of methamphetamine, popularly called Ecstasy. Nonnarcotic synthetic chemical compounds designed to interact with specific proteins and enzymes in order to combat disease also have been called designer drugs.

KALISPELL - Thieves are making off with gasoline from a local U-Haul store, and the owner said it's hitting his business hard.
Havens' Motorsports and U-Haul owner Zach Havens says the thefts are adding up to hundreds of dollars, and are taking away from this local business.
Havens incorporated U-Haul into his business just a few months ago. Within the past three weeks, gas has been siphoned twice.
The first amounted to about $100 and the second, $70. Being a small business owner in this economy means the thefts really impact Havens' business.
"It's pretty hard right now," he said. "We've had that and we're trying to make ends meet around here with everything and getting gas stolen is kind of a heartbreaker for me."
Haven says he will be making some security changes - which means more out-of-pocket expenses - to try and keep this from happening again.
Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call the Kalispell Police Department.

Without the to, it is a sentence in the imperative mood. With the to, it is no longer a sentence.
Please, advise me.
Is it necessary (from grammatical point of view) to put "To" at beginning of the following sentence?
Resolutions to vote:
?"To"? Create a Committee for strategic planning.
Thank you!
Without the to, it is a sentence in the imperative mood. With the to, it is no longer a sentence.
Use the "to."
The sentence comes from minutes of the supervisory board meeting. It is an item to be vote. I do not think, it should be an imperative.
You're right. It should not be an imperative.
We are going to vote on whether or not:
- To create a Committee for Strategic Planning
- To buy a town Christmas tree this year
- To mark out more disabled parking spaces in the Town Hall car park.
I don't like the very first part that you posted "Resolutions to vote". I would expect either "Resolutions to be voted on" or "Resolutions awaiting vote" or something similar.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Thank you very much!

September precipitation
Evansville finally saw rain this week, but not as much as you might expect. Despite the periods of heavy rain, the total precipitation only added up to about half an inch from Tuesday through yesterday morning. The whole month of September has seen more than 7 and a half inches already. Normally, September averages around 3 inches. The extra rain this month has helped the area recover from the summer's extreme drought, and there is still hope for farmers as Purdue University climatologists say there is a chance for even more rain statewide over the next two weeks.

Mercedes-Benz set to offer mid-level AMG models
Mercedes AMG vehicles may just be a pipe dream for many of us, but owning these high-performance Mercedes-Benz vehicles could get a lot more realistic now. That's because Mercedes-Benz is planning to unleash mid-level AMG models that will slot right in between your regular Mercedes-Benz models and the high-spec AMG variants. Bannered by the upcoming C450 AMG that's set to be unveiled in next year's Detroit Auto Show, this new wave of more affordable yet still high-spec AMG models should allow the German automaker to tap into a good chunk of the market, considering the demand that Mercedes-Benz's new compact models like the CLA have managed to generate.

Amelia and I spent a good 20 minutes this morning wracking our brains trying to figure out who Jessica Simpson reminded us of this morning, before Jessica ambled over and informed us that she was making the exact same facial expression as the baby from weird '90s sitcom "Dinosaurs." The baby's catchphrase? "I'm the baby, gotta love me." Sounds kinda like Simpson, too, right?

The Detroit Red Wings have scheduled a conference call for Tuesday with Chris Osgood in which the 38-year old goaltender will announce his retirement. Ansar Khan of MLive broke the news and also reports that Osgood will remain with the team in some sort of goaltending coach capacity:
Osgood, 38, has accepted a position with the team and will be working with the organization's young goalies.
The Red Wings are expected to sign Ty Conklin as their backup goaltender this week.
With Osgood set to leave the game, the debate as to whether or not he belongs in the Hall of Fame should establish itself as a hotly contested argument over the next several years. Osgood finishes his career in 10th place on the NHL's all-time goaltending wins list, and second in Red Wings history with 317 victories with Detroit. He was also a member of three Stanley Cup winning teams in Motown, but has often fallen victim to the "he played on really good teams" argument more often than not.
Osgood spent 14 of 17 seasons with Detroit, with a couple of quick stops on Long Island and in St. Louis. He finishes his career with a record of 401-216-95 to go along with a .905 SV% and 2.49 GAA. His career playoff totals will bolster his campaign for the Hall with a record of 74-24 and a crisp .916 SV% and 2.09 GAA.
Jets are ready for the floor after Wheeler signing
The Winnipeg Jets reached a deal with Blake Wheeler on Monday, signing the forward to a two-year $5.1 million deal. With the signing the Jets have crossed the salary cap's $48.3 million floor. Kent Wilson commented on the deal at Jet Nation and believes Wheeler could reach the 50-point plateau with the Jets:
Wheeler figures to be a top-six forward for Winnipeg going forward. The former 5th overall pick struggled to move beyond Boston's third line since breaking into the NHL, but his ice time ballooned to more than 18 minutes per night for Atlanta after he was traded, resulting in his improved output. Wheeler has averaged 0.52 points-per-game through the first four seasons of his career (43 points over 82 games), but is poised to break 50 with an increased opportunity with the Jets.

A family-owned sustenance staple for more than 60 years, Leo's Ristorante's homey redbrick exterior greets families to generous portions of homemade Italian and American comfort-food dishes culled from fresh ingredients. Leading off a stacked menu is the hearty New England clam chowder ($4.59 cup, $5.59 bowl), which sets the table for wholesome, heavy-hitting handhelds such as the chicken parmesan sandwich ($7.99 small, $8.99 large) and the Big Red meatball sub ($6.99 small, $7.99 large). The tortellini a la Carolina ($16) surrounds its tricolored, circular cheese pasta with grilled chicken and a light butter sauce, while the spaghetti a la Gina's ($12.99) savory red-sauced noodles send forks into a pasta pirouette. Enjoy a large, one-topping pizza ($12.99), adorned in culinary confetti such as pepperoni or olives, or wrap taste buds around the Milano panini ($8.99), containing grilled eggplant, smoked mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and garlic olive oil.
The menu offers seafood, veal, pasta, and chicken prepared from time-tested family recipes. Rev an appetite engine with coconut shrimp ($11) or homemade fennel-sausage antipasti ($9) and a glass of wine, such as Beringer Pinot Grigio ($6.50) or Trivento Pinot Noir ($7). Traditional Italian entrees include lobster, shrimp, and scallop cannelloni gratineé ($16); chicken campagnolo (egg-battered medallions with prosciutto, mozzarella, sherry, and mushroom demi-glace, $19); and veal bella Napoli (sautéed veal, shrimp, asparagus, portobello, tomatoes, and buffalo mozzarella, $23). Point Judith clams with shrimp and your choice of white, red, or fiery fra diavolo sauce over linguine ($22) and shrimp and scallop della casa ($22) will make any fisherman fondly remember his finest seafood- or mermaid-catching sprees. The trattoria experience would be incomplete without dessert, so sweeten endings with crème-brûlée cheesecake, tiramisu, or spumoni (all desserts are $7).
Cavalieri's Wood Street Pizza is a family-owned-and-operated cookery that has been serving up house favorites and custom creations for 18 years. While the basic variety of pizza exists ($6.75 for 10" to $16.25 for a full sheet), Wood Street's pizza menu shines with exotic topped discs, such as buffalo chicken pizza, taco pizza fiesta, and a lasagna pizza pie. Specialty pizzas are $9, $18, or $27 (or $18.25 for thin crust), depending on size. If you prefer your pizza folded into a crescenty pocket of flavor, opt for one of the 20 varieties of calzones ($2.75 for single up to $27 for a 25" giant). Wood Street also whips up appetizers, grinders ($5.75–$6.75), a soup of the day ($4.25), salads ($2.50 for a side salad, others $4.50–$7.25), and pasta creations ($6–$9.95). Check the menu for changing specials for lunch, dinner, sandwiches, soups, and pizza, such as June's chicken Caesar.
The family who owns One Horse Pizzeria and Saloon crafts a pizza for every palate, with options ranging from traditional thin-crust pies to the inventive Tom The Turkey pizza with turkey, cranberries, and gravy sauce. Those pizzas share table space with fresh salads, pastas with housemade sauces, and sandwiches. Located in a quaint red bungalow with white trim, the restaurant also features a wooden bar where patrons can sip wine and more than 30 types of cold beer.
DiParma's sponge-painted walls are rife with staggered picture frames, floral bouquets, and wicker baskets. Earth-tone bricks recall warm Italian soil and the inventive cuisine that sprung from it. Beside a bar of tile and faux marble, tables clatter with plates of pastas, pesto pizzas, and veal or seafood sautéed in delicate wine sauces, all polished over the course of three decades in business. With the pizza oven pouring forth the aromas of basil, roasted peppers, and bacon, guests peruse a list of more than 50 wines or ask servers to pick out all the grapes for them.

Eating for Yoga
By: Jennifer Grossman
Posted: June 13, 2008, from the September 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Yoga's power to transform the body—and one's life—is what draws many to the practice. With any process of rebuilding, raw materials are required. And, in the case of the body, that means the proper food.
Just as you wouldn't build an ashram out of random trash, attention to nutrient function—not just taste—should inform your approach to rebuilding the temple of your body. That's because the kinds of food you choose can greatly affect energy levels, recovery time, and the health of muscles, joints and bones being reconditioned.
Based on research conducted and reviewed at the Dole Nutrition Institute, as well as many years of my own yoga practice, here is a list of top food sources that can help speed healing, ease soreness, promote joint health and otherwise support your body as it reaps the benefits of yoga.

A joint is where two bones make contact, or articulate. Maintaining the joints can allow for better movement and mechanical support of the bones.
Broccoli. Cruciferous vegetables, or edible plants from the Brassicaceae family, contain sulforaphane—a compound that triggers the body's own antioxidant defenses. New research suggests that this process may block cyclooxygenase (COX-2) enzymes that cause inflammation. Broccoli sprouts are one of the most potent sources of these indirect antioxidants, which also can be found in cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by Surf and Suds: Just returned home!

Compare Prices on Carnival Triumph Mexican Riviera Cruises
Just returned home!
I just returned home from the 11/18/2013 thru 11/23/2013 Triumph cruise to Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. This was the typical trip and much like I expected. Getting on board took much longer than usual. If I did not know better I would believe that 11/18/2013 was the very first time Carnival sailed from Galveston. I am talking about several HOURS of sitting on my ass and standing in long lines waiting to board that ship! There is absolutely zero reason for it to take so long to board.
The ship is very nice with the vast majority of employees working hard to make the guests feel comfortable and at home. The only bad employee I encountered was the blond lady with the ponytail working at the casino bar. She was rude, hateful and made many guests mad. I did not get her name because it was not worth the effort but she was not the nice blond Maria! (Maria made everyone feel welcome)
I do not smoke. If you do, be aware that you are not going to be very welcome. They keep More
moving the smoking spots to smaller and smaller areas and make smokers feel like relatives who have overstayed their welcome! I say all of this in defense of my friends who I met onboard who were treated like second class folks because they smoked. If that is important to you I just want you to be aware.
The food and entertainment in the Paris and London restaurants was very good! The buffets were pretty good considering that they were feeding so many people and had so many varieties of food. The Chinese "wok" was horrible. I would not feed that to a dog! They need to fix that or shut it down! Guy's burger place was great! The pizza place was a big disappointment. They left guests standing in line while they supplied pizzas to workers in the rear of pizza restaurant. Pizzas were pilling up from the oven while they continued to prep more pizzas. They very clearly need some supervision in that area! The Deli restaurant was good. The omelet place is so slow that it would take a 30 day cruise to serve half the passengers one omelet. Something is "wong" there! LOL
All in all, I enjoyed the cruise and will go again and again!
The guy in the piano bar was very good. The comedians were good Less

Hi everyone. I am new to this website and am very excited to "meet" all of you! I am currently working orthopedics as a floor nurse and am really trying to get away from bedside nursing. So am... Read More
0Mar 20, '08 by katwoman7755Thanks RN1989....I do think it would be something I would immensely enjoy as all those things you mentioned that many might not like or be good at, I think I would. I guess like anything else it is just kind of scary to think of getting started much less trying to determine the best path to do so. I appreciate seeing it discussed from a more honest and realistic place as I'm sure you are absolutely correct that many nurses believe paying for the biggest and best course will do alot of the work for them which I know is not the case. I think I will look more into the AALNC course primarily b/c I think I would need some foundation in order to do the best job possible and understanding completely what is expected. Again, thank you.
0Apr 11, '08 by alkaleidiYou know, I've watched the intro by VM for her course and she seems VERY inspirational and animated, definitely up my alley, but in looking for alternatives online, I have found her program/package (the text/videos/cds/etc, not the live conference/course) for as cheap as $300, or in the "used" section of amazon.com for $1500. I guess if someone was a self-motivator but seeking the content of her course they could definitely seek it out online and then decide whether they want to invest in the rest of the program.
I am thinking about investing solely in the Legal Nurse Consulting (Principles and Practices?) text and studying, coming up with some marketing ideas, and going from there. Still doing research on all the programs there are out there for LNC certificates, and none have "sold" (or bought... LOL) me yet. -

0May 22, '08 by rikomomI have seen so many nurses over the years take the courses thinking they were going to be rich. Few get rich, some make a living, and most never even make it to the finish line and they end up keeping/going back to their clinical jobs because it is easier.[/QUOTE]
Thank you so much for this. I really now think I would like to step forward to LNC.

Pardew Fears Stars May Be Sold
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew claims it may be impossible to hang on to some of his team's stars after reports of interest from some of Europe's top clubs.
The Magpies are challenging for a Champions League spot going into the final round of games on Sunday but have found themselves increasingly linked with interest from some of Europe's top sides. Reports this week linked Real Madrid with Papiss Demba Cisse and both Juventus and Inter Milan have been watching Hatem Ben Arfa and Cheick Tiote. Chelsea have been linked with both Tiote and keeper Tim Krul.
"It's impossible to restrict Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City from coming in for one of our players," Pardew told BBC Newcastle.
"We have players who are not on the salaries these top clubs can offer."
Demba Ba is another player linked with a departure after rumours of a release clause in his contract which could see him leave for less than £7million.
"It is not a foregone conclusion that he will stay, but the Newcastle public have played their part singing his name. He must love that."
Pardew has built a potential top four side on the back of the £35million he received from Liverpool for striker Andy Carroll just over a year ago and the £10million proceeds last summer from the sale of Jose Enrique and Kevin Nolan and he says he may have to do the same in order to strengthen his side.
"Forget about Everton and Aston Villa, we have put ourselves in a similar position to Arsenal," he added.
"The one security I have is that Mike Ashley is a difficult seller. He is not going to let someone go for £7million, he is going to want top, top money, but if Yohan Cabaye gets a call from Manchester United and they tell him he is going to be the next Paul Scholes I am not going to be able to stop him.
"It is going to cost Manchester United a shed-load of money, but until we have Champions League football, and we might have that by this weekend, we cannot compete with that."
In recent weeks Newcastle have been linked with Ajax defenders Jan Vertonghen and Siem de Jong, Stuttgart defender Serdar Tasci and FC Twente striker Luuk de Jong and his team-mate centre-back Douglas and Pardew says his priority this summer is a centre-back who can head the ball.
"I am contemplating bringing in someone because we don't have a dominant header of the ball. On the scouting front we are looking at a centre-half who can come and score us eight goals next season," he added.
"If we didn't have Demba Ba we wouldn't have Papiss Cisse and we are trying to bring another player to the club who is close to Yohan Cabaye. That is another little connection and a bit of a clue for you."
Cabaye moved from Lille last summer and the Magpies have been linked with interest in Lille playmaker Eden Hazard although he looks set to move to Manchester City this summer.

I just got spam from a phisher allegedly from email@example.com saying I have a $571.94 tax refund that needs to be claimed in 12 days.
The URL had me fooled for a second — it looks like a link to govbenefits.gov with a long
identifier. It turns out that the badguys are using a poorly secured redirect page (externalLink.jhtml) on govbenefits.gov to send people to porterfam.org. Of course the resulting page asks for SSN, credit card number, etc — all the things needed for identity fraud.
And here is the email:
From: email@example.com <tax -firstname.lastname@example.com>
Reply-To: firstname.lastname@example.com
To: my email
Date: Nov 26, 2005 12:16 PM
Subject: [IRS] Tax RefundYou are eligible to recieve a tax refund for $571.94.
To access the form for your tax return use the link below:
(copy and paste this link in your browser address bar)12 days left to apply for your refund. You may not receive your refund as quickly as you expected. A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example, a name and Social Security number listed on the tax return may not match the IRS records. You may have failed to electronically sign the return or applied after the deadline.
This email has been sent by the Internal Revenue Service, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury.
The bad guys are getting pretty tricky…
My parents are non-technical people, but they just purchased a nice new HP laptop while out visiting us.
Before they left I set them up with a bunch of new F/L/OSS software,
a TheOpenCD V3.1 disk and free web-based services.
I just sent them list note about what we setup:
I installed the following software on the new HP laptop — they are
all from the CD that went home with you.
- OpenOffice V2.0 — This is a complete, free replacement for
Microsoft Office tools like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It will let
you open documents that people may send you that those tools.- GAIM — free alternative to AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, etc's own version of
IM or Chat programs. You still need free accounts on those services
(and you already have them for Google, Yahoo and AOL), but you don't
need to have 3 different programs running to chat with people on
each of those IM servers. GAIM connects for your to each of them.- FireFox — free alternative to using Microsoft Internet Explorer
(also known as MSIE, the blue E that I removed from at least Dad's
desktop). MSIE has a history of being plagued by virus, spyware,
etc. Firefox is not completely immune, but much less of a risk.
You may hear people refer to Mozilla browser, Firefox is a version
of that.There are other free programs on the CD — it is called TheOpenCD
(http://www.theopencd.org) and you can pass it on or give copies to
your friends — to look at the other stuff on there to to see if there
is anything interesting to you on it. You can install them on the
office PCs or the desktop PC at home.I also setup a number of free accounts for both of you.
- Email — Instead of using Microsoft Outlook and getting your mail
from Roadrunner or Frontier (which ever you end up choosing for
email), just get your email from google's free GMAIL service. Use
any computer and go to http://www.gmail.com/ and log to do your
email. (Account info below)- IM — Dad and I got accounts for IM Chat accounts on AOL (sometimes
you see it referred to as AIM), Google Talk and Yahoo!. (account
info below) The GAIM program is all setup for each of those account.
Just go to the menu Tool s then Account and click 'Online' for your
accounts. It already has the password information set there. This
will let you chat with my kids who use AOL, Lori that uses Yahoo!
and me who actually has accounts on all of them.- Photos — You already had an account on Flickr (now part of Yahoo!,
http://www.flickr.com). You used your old AOL.COM address to create
an account. and there is a way to change the email address to match
your Yahoo! account. Dad and I also installed FlickrUploadr and
there should be a link of the desktop. Double click on it to start
it and then use the file explorer to drag and drop photos from your
hard drive (or CD or Camera) to FlickrUploadr. Then press the
Upload button and the photos will be copied to
http://www.flickr.com/ where people can see them.Account info that you can pass on to your friends:
Mom: email@example.com
Dad: firstname.lastname@example.com
- AOL IM (if your friends use AOL pay service or free chat only, which
my kids use)Mom: XXXXYYYYYY
Dad: XXYYYYYY
- Yahoo! IM (which Lori uses)
Mom: XXXXYYYYYY
Dad: XXYYYYYY
- Google IM (sometimes called Google Talk — anyone with a google
email account can IM using the same account info)Mom: XXXXYYYYYY
Dad: XXYYYYYY
- Photos — tell friends to see your public photos here:
There is a way under 'Your Account' to pick a better address,
similar to what I have:
You are currently using a free flickr account. For $25/year you can
store many many more photos on flickr.com. If you start using
flickr, that would make a nice start of a xmas gift from us.

An average Oregon income-earner will pay no more in direct taxation as a result of the tax increases, but the "tax and spend" label clearly will be applied with a very broad brush next year. Washington Democrats gained some insulation from that charge, at least for now, but much depends on quick economic recovery.

Excuse me, but did you forget Tim Eyman?
In order to pass a tax increase in the Washington State Legislature, you need a 66.6% majority. Can you show us how Governor Gregoire or the legislative leadership of Brown & Chopp et al could have come up with that?
This comparison between political leadership in Washington & Oregon is, accordingly, not based in any reality beyond looking wistfully across the Columbia River.
Posted Mon, Jun 15, 9:16 a.m.
Yes, of course I am aware of Eyman and the super-majority test, which I mentioned in my article. But this does not prevent Washington legislators from sending to voters any number of special taxes that will be paid by only a minority, or even an income tax on high-earning people, such as the Oregon Legislature passed. These ideas were considered here, but dropped.
Floyd McKay
Posted Mon, Jun 15, 9:39 a.m.
It is not exactly clear what we are to make of this. Is the writer implying that Washington legislators are cowardly for holding the line on taxes? The writer's statement, "The difference may be in the willingness of a governor to lead the battle for taxes to heal the economic wounds," implies that somehow increasing the citizens' tax burden and giving the government more money to squander requires "courage." This coming from a "professor emeritus" of journalism at a state university. Something is tragically wrong when our top journalists, instead of holding the government's feet to the fire and demanding accountability, encourage profligacy and the fleecing of working people's pockets by politicians.
Posted Mon, Jun 15, 9:59 a.m.
Something makes me think that Mr. McKay has never struggled to make a payroll for his employees. Nor has his livelihood depended on making a sale, keeping a customer happy or motivating employees. Rather, the Washington taxpayers have paid his salary (and, presumably, his pension).
When he implies that the Washington legislature should have had the "courage" to raise taxes, consider the source.
Posted Mon, Jun 15, 10:03 a.m.
"An average Oregon income-earner will pay no more in direct taxation as a result of the tax increases..."
And that, in itself, is not something to celebrate. If public funds can be raised by extracting more money from a diminishing slice of the population a rather unhealthy dynamic is reinforced; that there is no incentive to restrain taxes if those paying the taxes are a distinct and tiny (and probably not terribly popular) minority. So that portion of the Oregon population who make less than $125,000 (95%, more?) can cheerfully accept higher taxes on the "wealthy". Are you saying this is a Good Thing? and that their legislature is brave?
Somehow the sales tax enforces reality on the Washington State Legislature (and governor) and we should be thankful for that.
Posted Mon, Jun 15, 11:04 a.m.
Gregoire and the Democratic majorities in Olympia aren't behaving as their colleagues of yore -- or Oregon's. In the old days, when there was a revenue shortfall, they'd solve it with a combo of cuts and new revenue (last big example involved passing $1 billion in taxes, tuition and fees back in 1993, leading to voter approval of spending limit I-601 and loss of Democratic majorities in 1994 (House) and 1996 (Senate, too.) I guess they learned that taxes have consequences. I fully expected a big old tax plan on the ballot this fall to fund popular stuff like higher ed enrollment, health care, kids' daylong kindergarten, etc. Gregoire gave them little, if any, political cover, the recession put many out of work, and tax aversion began growing by the day. Frank Chopp does not want to lose his majority. Lisa Brown, who wants to be governor, was not going to break her pick if the House wasn't going to go for taxes. Yes, they used Obama Bucks and tons of gimmicks and fund-balance grabs, but still, they trimmed $4 billion in real terms and didn't pass general taxes. Tuition From Hell, yes, and some fees. But none of the big three taxes, and the soak-the-rich1 income tax soon became just another theoretical, rhetorical flourish that didn't go over well, even in progressive Washington. After nearly 40 years of Olympia-watching, I can still be surprised.
Posted Thu, Jun 18, 8:23 p.m.
Yes, David, surprising. But will it do the job? What is the sense in short changing higher education? Are we going to be victimized by all these personal agendas that most of us could not care less about? Surprising but not very enlightened leadership.

Often, young readers have difficulty understanding Shakespeare's meaning or context. Through a close study of three basic ideas students need to know before beginning to read any play—denotation, connotation, and cadence—students will be able to approach reading Shakespeare as if they were listening to real conversations.
This lesson will take one class period.
A dictionary
1. Give each student a copy of the student handout. Ask them to fill in the definition of denotation. Give them a minute, then share answers. Repeat the same activity with connotation. Students may have difficulty figuring out the definition of cadence, so I suggest that you do that one together.
2. Next, have students fill in the denotations of "cheap" and "inexpensive" on their handout. Discuss their answers. Next, give students a moment to write down the connotations of these two words in the spaces provided. When that is complete, ask students which of the words has a more negative connotation. They should answer, "cheap." Hopefully, at this point, they will understand the differences between the terms.
3. Next, have students look at the terms scrawny, skinny, thin, slim, and svelte. Students may not be familiar with "svelte," so send one person to look it up and report back. Then, have students rank the words 1-5, with 1 having the most positive connotation and 5 the least positive connotation. Discuss the answers: did the students agree on a ranking? Why or why not?
4. Next, move on to Activity #2 on the worksheet. Begin by picking seven volunteers to look at the first sentence; ask each to recite the sentence, placing the emphasis on a different word. Discuss how the meaning of the sentence changes when the emphasis shifts. As you work your way through the different exercises in Activity #2, show how they help to explain the importance of cadence, "general inflection or modulation of the voice." (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cadence )
5. Move on to "well." Pick students to say this in different ways: angrily, surprised, scared, condescendingly, sarcastically. Again, discuss how the meaning of the word is manipulated through cadence.
6. Move on to "I love that new hairstyle." Have one student say it like he means it, another like he doesn't mean it. Discuss the differences in cadence and in effect.
7. Move on to "You didn't give it to me." Ask students to recite this sentence in different ways: to assert that the object was given to someone else, to emphasize that the object was not given away at all, or to assert that the object had been given to them by someone else.
8. Next is a famous line from Romeo and Juliet. Ask someone to read this line out loud. Explain to students that this is one of the most misunderstood lines in all of Shakespeare. Tell them that "wherefore" actually means "why," not "where." Ask the student to read the line again. Has learning this information changed the delivery of the line? What are other ways the meaning of this line could change through cadence differences?
9. Deliver the last one yourself. The first time it should read, "What's that up in the road ahead?" The second should read, "What's that up in the road, a head?"
10. Now break students into groups of three or four and give each group a copy of the attached speech from Cymbeline. Ask them to answer the questions at the bottom of the sheet. Give them seven minutes to complete this task.
11. Reconvene and discuss the answers to the questions. Then, have the students give you directions on how to deliver the speech. See if you can speak it in the style they have selected.

Just bought a house with an established garden containing many trees and shrubs with which I am not familiar. Can anyone recommend some good identification books (for both deciduous and evergreen trees) that have really good photos or drawings of the foliage characteristics? For instance there is a large (approx 10') multi-stemmed shrub/small tree with large oval furry/felted and veined leaves, just coming into flower now in mid August. Terminal clusters of small white star-shaped flowers with yellow anthers. No fragrance. My first guess would be a viburnum but are there any viburnums that flower this late? or with fuzzy leaves?? I am also hopeless with conifers/evergreens and there are a LOT of those. :-/ Book suggestions please? Thanks! :-) |

I am in zone 7 (tri-state area of NY/NJ/CT). I will take a few photos when I go there later today. I wouldn't dream of posting pics of every tree/shrub that I don't recognize; that would be unfair, I think. I still would like a book to use for future reference, if you can recommend any. At heart I am a "books person" and like to be able to carry one with me for an on the spot comparison (I do not have a smartphone, nor wireless at the house, nor do I plan to get either). |

Hi Helena, If this is your plant it is Clerodendrum trichotomum fragrant flowers, malodorous foliage. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 14, 13 at 19:40
Malodorus?? Foliage smells like peanut butter and the tree often goes by the common name of peanut butter tree in addition to harlequin glorybower (and who knows where THAT came from!!). I've never found a single printed tree resource that was the least bit complete. Dirr's Manual of Woody Plants comes close but unwieldy and outdated. I do like Phillips and Rix Trees of North America, but again, not very complete. Sternberg's Native Trees for NA is just that - natives only ( I miss Guy - anyone heard from him recently?) I would not think twice about posting on the Name That Plant forum. There are many who are daily posters asking what plant is what and the regulars - like esh above - consider it an exciting and fun challenge to be prompt to respond. Sometimes amazingly prompt!! |

Hi sam and gardengategal, I just posted a photo here: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/namegal/msg0818181021798.html and will post a couple more as well; thanks so much for the encouragement. :-) |
I have many books on trees but the best one by far is the National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Trees of North America. Kershner, Mathews, Nelson & Spellenberg. The price is great too, just $19.95. I absolutely love this book! You will not be disappointed. |

I see you have had it identified on the other forum. Definitely viburnum. I don't know if this book is available in your local stores, but the Sunset Western Garden Book is an invaluable asset. It is intended for the Rocky Mountains and west, but the plant descriptions and photos are really great and with it's detailed climate zone descriptions, you could find something that would parallel your own climate. The book is available on Amazon if not in your local book stores. |

No Scars Allowed
Monday, June 28th, 2010
On Friday night Dove posted an ad on Craigslist searching for non-models to model in their upcoming "Real Beauty" campaign. "Real Beauty" is meant to promote a healthy self image by not using unrealistically thin models to sell the Dove products and state of mind. However, the Craigslist ad was pretty particular when it came to certain things:
DOVE "REAL WOMEN" PRINT CASTING JUNE 28-30, 2010 in NYC ABSOLUTELY NO ACTRESSES / MODELS OR REALITY SHOW PARTICIPANTS or ANY ONE CARRYING A HEADSHOT!!!! REAL WOMEN ONLY! LOOKING FOR 3-4 REAL WOMEN for a DOVE PRINT CAMPAIGN!
AGES 35-45, CAUCASIAN, HISPANIC, AFRICAN AMERICAN, & ASIAN! SHOOT: SUNDAY, JULY 18 in NYC! MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE SHOOT! RATE: $500 for Shoot date & if selected for Ad Campaign (running 2011) you will be paid $4000! USAGE: 3 years unlimited print & web usage in N. America Only YOU WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE CAMPAIGN IN A TOWEL! BEAUTIFUL ARMS AND LEGS AND FACE WILL BE SHOWN! MUST HAVE FLAWLESS SKIN, NO TATTOOS OR SCARS! Well groomed and clean...Nice Bodies..NATURALLY, FIT Not too Curvy Not too Athletic. Great Sparkling Personalities. Beautiful Smiles! A DOVE GIRL!!! STYLISH AND COOL! Beautiful HAIR & SKIN is a MUST!!! PLEASE SUBMIT SNAPSHOTS of FACE & BODY ASAP & WE WILL CALL YOU IN FOR A CASTING NEXT WEEK 6/28-6/30 in NYC! email@example.com's a bit contradictory to advocate for "Real Beauty" (which according to Dove's website works to "free ourselves and the next generation from beauty stereotypes") and then make a bullet point list of all the things that a Dove girl should or should not be. If Dove is attempting to "free" girls and women from "beauty stereotypes" then things like scars, tattoos, beautiful smiles, fitness ("not too curvy not too athletic") should not make a difference in their models. Since Friday, the original ad has been removed from Craigslist. Via The Cut
SURFING (the net) ALL SUMMER
Monday, August 17th, 2009
Tired of jadedly scanning the 'Do's and Dont's' section in Vice? Try these remarkable works of wonder on for size.
1. Jonathan Brandis Fan Page (http://www.jonathanbrandis.org/)
Maybe Brad Renfro has a fan page stashed somewhere in the dark wormholes of the internet, and there is sure to be a site dedicated to the death of Rider Strong's career, but no web homage shines as bright as Jonathan Brandis'. Complete with drawings of the talented actor that starred in such gems as Seaquest and Ladybugs, the website is truly, like Jon, unforgettable.
2. Fuck You Penguin (http://www.fupenguin.com/)
This is a pretty famous blog. So famous in fact, that the creator got a book deal out of his genius idea of telling off pictures of cute animals.
3. Texts from Last Night (http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/)
When you've had too much to drink, try to discern (through your clouded mind) who you are about to send that weird/creepy/hot text message to, or else it may end up on this website. From posts like,'the liability waiver did not state that i couldn't bring my bottle of wine in the bouncy castle. it did Not,' to 'She was walking with the authority that 2 beers gave to a light weight,' the site is a dark cave of entertainment that also serves as cautionary education, kind of like the D.A.R.E program.
4. Best of Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all)
People use Craigslist to fill the void in their lives with whatever they think will do the trick. Be it men seeking women, women seeking women, seeking missed connections, seeking rooms for rent, seeking sublets, seeking roommates who need desks, drugs, straightedge companionship, free rides, used surfboards, used Ipods, extra tickets, you name it. Thank goodness someone thought to put all the posts that stand out the most in one little tidy website for everyone to enjoy. This one is pretty good.
5. I Bang the Worst Dudes (http://sorry-mom.com/)
A site that makes most men's faces crumple with fear, I Bang the Worst Dudes, invites females to submit a guy they've had a romantic encounter with (one-night-stand or otherwise) along with a photo of the guy and why other girls should stay away from him. It's raw. If the girl confessing shows some mercy and decides not to send a picture of the guy, an image of a, ahem, feminine hygiene product is used in its place. The stories are like gateway drugs; you read a good one, then sift through hundreds of mediocre rants to find another bazaar diamond in the rough. Remember, they're shocking because they're true.
Missed Connections part II
Thursday, July 16th, 2009
The adaptation of Missed Connection scenarios has already been done, but it's not played out. In fact, we don't think it could ever get old, as it's enchanting and at times hilariously creepy. Sophie Blackall draws the scenarios according to the New York Craigslist classifieds, so get posting in the hopes that this talented young lady draws a dreamlike version of you and your unsuspecting crush.
Craigslist Missed Connections Comics
Monday, April 13th, 2009
Don't feel bad about that Craigslist post you made months ago about that Air Max wearing guy you creep at the neighborhood bar, it might have inspired one of the artists that worked on, I Saw You, an anthology of comics based on missed connections. The book was edited by Julia Wertz of the Fart Party, and includes nearly 100 cartoonists like Liz Prince of "Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed?" The interpretations of these love-seeking posts will make you laugh, believe in Craigslist love or perhaps never want to be so open about your crushes again.

really desperate to have aux in my car but it does not have it in the standard head unit cd 6000, is there a device a can install? do i need a new head unit? or is there other way around this?
please help
June 1, 2012, 6:34 pm
You can get parts for retrofit for cheap at your for dealer. I still have them here, it says FINIS (order number) 1426121 on the package. I think this includes cable and socket, if not, the socket itself is 1365708. I haven't done the install on a Fiesta, only on a Focus - there the hole for the socket was already prepared, I don't know how it works on the Fiesta (or even where it was put from the factory).

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi, [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]First welcome to the Forum.
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]To answer your question, you need one of these - [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Also available from a Ford parts desk, part code number [b]F1426121. [/b][/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It plugs into a space in the connector on the back of the radio like so,- (where the green connector is in the picture below)[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The socket clips into a hole beside the lighter socket - here's one available with the socket fascia ready fitted if you don't fancy cutting holes yourself, just unclip the current trim and clip this one in.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hope this is of help to you.[/font]

prefacelift fiesta 02-05 the retrofit will not work on as the wiring is differnt and the radios dont support aux.. the retrofit above fits the fiesta and works 100 percent as long as your radio has a button aux on it and not the cddj button.

Hi these ford connectors for the aux are they any good because I have to wiggle mine to get mine to work? Are they worth replacing or just not use a ford system?

With Elmer's typical sense of mischief and fun, as all his friends and family are complaining that winter time is cold he persuades them to take a walk, but it's not as cold as living on a mountain top. Elmer's powers of persuasion are legendary and this story is a typically brilliant example. This edition comes with an audio CD read by Ray Brooks, complete with original music and sound effects. Perfect for toddlers. To see other Elmer titles click here.
Elmer in the Snow (Book & CD) by David MckeeAt the first hint of a chill in the air, Elmer's friends start
complaining about the cold, so Elmer decides to show them what cold
weather is really like. They set off for a walk up a mountain, and the
higher they get, the colder it gets. A good snowball fight at the top
warms them all up, but the elephants agree that compared with the
freezing mountain top, their home is not really that cold at all.
With his typical sense of mischief and fun, Elmer shows how hot and cold are only relative.

Hello. I have an old Asko set, dryer T760. Our home was hit by lightening and the control board is fried. I have found the board online with shipping from repair clinic. At that price, with fuses, new seems a better option. Just thought I would see if anyone has a better source for parts before scrapping it. Thank you in advance for any responses. |

Public Policy, Advocacy and Civic Engagement (PACE)
Are you interested in making a difference? Doing something to solve a problem you think is important? Many students spend time studying issues like how to balance economics development and environmental protections, juvenile justice, economics inequality, the problems facing American families corruption in government, international human rights, and much more. But, when their interest is sparked, they don't know where to go with it and what to do. If you can relate, welcome to PACE: Making a difference one step at a time.
New York State legislators at Sage's Women of Influence in Politics Series, Fall 2013
In their coursework, PACE students study the inner workings of American governmental and civic organizations, the ways in which public policy is made, and the practice of politics, advocacy, and civic engagement. They also delve into the lives of exemplary citizens and leaders, track current policy issues, and explore pathways - such as law, criminal justice, economics, globalization, and environmental policy. PACE students also hone their communications skills and sharpen their policy research and analytical skills.
What makes PACE unique? The ability to create your own learning pathway. All students in PACE obtain a core understanding of "the way things work" and the skills necessary to become involved. Then, working closely with an advisor, you select coursework and experiential learning opportunities in your policy area of interest. Pathways are tailored by you, with guidance, to meet your individual career and educational goals Click here for some pathways models.
New York's Capital Region offers a rich laboratory of civic experiences for students who want to help make a difference in society. The region is home to New York State government, 60 school districts, over 120 local communities, more than 500 civic organizations, and a growing private sector of research and technology firms dedicated to improving the quality of life in the region and beyond.
Students visit the NYS Assembly chamber in Albany.
PACE students are well positioned to make the most of these opportunities as they advance their educational, career and civic goals through internships in the Capital Region with all levels of government, interest groups, non-profit organizations, and private businesses.
As a career gateway, PACE provides you with practical skills and knowledge, which will build your confidence and resume as you enter the workforce or pursue higher education. In special workshops in advocacy, fundraising and networking, you will work with practitioners on career-building skills from strategic planning to grass-roots mobilization and fundraising.
Featured Student: Lena Persico
PACE with Pre-Law Studies Pathway
New York State Assembly Session Intern (2014) whose research paper on genetically modified foods was one of nine selected out of 130 or so interns to be published in the Interns Committee's Distinguished Intern Report. "I'm very very happy, and I'm also thankful as I used knowledge from the law research course".
Featured Student: Margaret Brenenstuhl
PACE with Environmental Policy Pathway
Internship at Climate Crisis Center: Interning with Professor Leibo in the Sage Climate Crisis Center has allowed me to share what I learned in my studies regarding the environmental crisis with the entire campus community. I truly felt like I was making an impact at Russell Sage through our many outreach events that I organized during the semester. The experience showed me that advocating to people about climate change is something I want to do in my future".
Summer program at Eco Practicum: "This four week program I am going to be a part of in the Catskills, seems to be the definition of hands on learning. Not only am I going to be farming the land where I will be living, but meeting with different representatives in the environmental field." Each week is unique and involves workshops, classroom and farming time, and the chance to tour different facilities such as an industrial slaughterhouse and fracking site."
Study Abroad in Thailand: "During the month of July, I will be living with a family in a small village near Surin, Thailand called, Tha-Tum. This farming community is home to thirty elephants, who I will be learning how to ride, wash and feed. This experience is a great way to immerse myself in the Thai culture, learning how they dress, act and how to prepare their food."

Various Artists – Future Sounds of Buenos Aires
May 19th, 2012
Listen To The Future
Consider the source: Argentina is in no way a stranger to turntables, mixing, and the fleshing out of the local sounds through sick rhythms and electronic beats, turning them into pulses that blow up and burn down dance floors around the world. Folks really like shaking a groove thing to that tropical swing. So it should be (and to most people, it probably isn't) no surprise that Future Sounds of Buenos Aires is a concise, yet well conceived package of where the music trend can go. Read more…

Hello everyone, this is bh!!
As some of you might recall, last year I posted a thread concerning "Radio Disney" Please bare with me through these notes. They might be somewhat long but I at least want to make sure at least some written history for "Disney Radio" gets written down. As some of you may remember, there used to be a Tourist Info radio station called "Disney Radio" (Not to be confused with Radio Disney :wink:) that used to give travellers just entering Florida a sneak peek at the Walt Disney World Resort. It's exact transmitting tower was located in Columbia City, Florida. You could pick up the station on I-75, about 40-ish miles South of the Florida State Line. Usually the signal went from the I-10 Junction as far south as Gainesville, but on a clear day with ideal weather conditions the signal would make it as far South as Ocala. The station premiered in the mid 1990's, around 1993 or so and lasted until sometime in early 2001, that's the latest people can remember it broadcasting. During it's history, it changed frequencies twice. From the beginning until 1998 you could find it on 107.5 FM. At that time, it didn't have traditional call letters. The ID for the station was, and if I'm butchering this I apologize, KA2XXC. Sometime in 1998 the station moved to 107.9, to make room for additional stations in the Jacksonville Area. Along with the move, the station finally got it's own traditional call letters: WLGD. The station stayed at that frequency and kept the WLGD call letters until Disney pulled the plug on it in early 2001.
During those several years in the Mid 90's, I took a boom box on my trips down to Disney that could tape direct from the radio to tape and got 4 full recordings of Disney Radio. It was a blessing that my family always stayed in Lake City that second night of travelling so it was easy to get the full loops. The tapes have remained in great condition so last year I finally transferred the recordings to Mp3 format. I still have the original tapes that contain the recordings.
Last year I posted on a few Disney message boards to let people know I have preserved the Mid 90's part of Disney Radio's history. The response was outstanding and it was due to that that I finally transferred everything to Mp3's. In the last few days I have been informed there are some people who would like access to the recordings so I have decided to upload them to Mega Upload for everyone who would like to have and enjoy them to be able to download them. I am more than happy to share this part of Disney history that is cherished by many including myself. I am also doing this because as far as I know I'm one of probably a VERY FEW people out there who have preserved any of Disney Radio. My biggest reason though is I knew eventually transferring the recordings to Mp3's would come in handy and it makes me happy people remember the station and want to be able to hear it again. So this is from me, bh, to everyone out there who remembers Disney Radio fondly. I am more than willing to upload to other Filesharing sites if some of those would be more convenient, if anyone would like that please let me know and I will do that and then update this post to include the extra links. Here's the thing, due to my post count it's not letting me post the download links so if you'd like them please send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will gladly give you the links to the downloads.
All of the recordings are in Stereo, in excellent condition! First I'll list the files that I uploaded and then the download links to each individual file. Here are the 4 mp3 files that have been uploaded:
1.Disney Radio 495.mp3: This was the first recording I was able to get of Disney Radio in April 1995 when I went to Disney for Easter that year. It was taped on April 14th I believe. It was Good Friday. The format you'll see in this recording is the format they used pretty much all the way through to the end in 2001. They updated stuff quite frequently though with the openings of new attractions.
2.Disney Radio 96a and 96b: It says 96 but it was actually recorded in July 1997 when I made the trip down that Summer. I want to SINCERELY apologize for one thing. When I converted the recording from '97, it somehow cut off two thirds of the way through so I had to get the other third on a separate mp3. All of the recording from '97 IS here it's just split into two parts. Because of the software I used to convert everything it wouldn't allow me to join the two halves or change the file name. Again I am sorry for that L This recording talks a lot about Disney World's 25th Anniversary since the 25th Anniversary Celebration was going on when I visited that year.
3.Disney Radio 97.mp3: It says 97 but it's actually from April 1998. Again my apologies due to the program I used. Length wise it's the longest of the Mid 90's Disney Radio stuff.
Download Links:
Disney Radio 495.mp3: File Size: 15 MB
Disney Radio 96a.mp3: File Size: 14 MB
Disney Radio 96b.mp3: File Size: 5.36 MB
Disney Radio 97.mp3: File Size: 18 MB
That should be everything :wink: If anyone wants the download links PLEASE feel free to send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com and I will gladly reply :D I do apologize I wish the site would just let me post them it would be easier for everyone. I just want to make sure to let everyone know I am totally accessible if anyone would like to or needs to contact me.
I have uploaded all of this out of the goodness of my heart, for free, for everyone to enjoy and I sincerely hope you do enjoy it. I have no problem if you'd like to share it with family or friends who might be interested in this as well. I just ask for two small things in return for this uploads. First, please give me credit for this if you post the download links somewhere or share this. It's not been easy keeping the original tapes in excellent shape and it took quite some time to convert them all to mp3's. Secondly I want to ask a small favor. I would like to ask anyone that has recordings of Disney Radio from 1993, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2000 or early 2001 to please let mw know, along with ANYTHING from Disneyland Radio in California and if you are willing to please convert them to mp3s and send them to me at email@example.com and I'll upload all of those as well so there is as complete a history for "Disney Radio" preserved as possible for everyone to enjoy. You'd of course be credited in this thread for any mp3s you send to me!
Enjoy this rare, not easy to find, cherished piece of Disney history!!
Bh :wink:

Blizzard will introduce a new dueling mechanic to Diablo 3 with its next update, patch 1.0.7.
The developer released new information today detailing the new dueling mode - which will be introduced instead of a previously in-development team deathmatch mode - along with other features.
In Blizzard's words, here's how dueling will work:
- To duel another player, you'll need to speak with Nek the Brawler at the inn in New Tristram.
- Speaking with Nek will take you and your party to the Scorched Chapel, a new zone designed specifically for player combat.
- This zone has custom geometry and features four different areas: the church, the graveyard, the river, and the lake.
- Dueling currently supports up to four players in a Free-For-All format, which means you can battle your friends either one-on-one, three-player FFA, or a full four-player FFA.
According the developer, the intent is to "provide players a safe, opt-in location where they can fight one another for bragging rights (or maybe science) without the potential for griefing as it existed in Diablo II".
In other changes, the Monk and Wizzard will undergo a few balance tweaks, while item hunters will get new crafting recipes, and lots more. Get the full lowdown on what's to come on the official site.
