Can Love Lift Liberty Above the Divide and Conquer Issues?
Submitted by fishyculture on Wed, 04/10/2013 - 18:10If you don't have time for the entire post, here it is short and sweet: When you are choosing between legislating for morality or legislating for liberty, it is a trap. When there is a divisive law, the problem is probably in the foundation of that law. Regardless of who loves whom or who sleeps with whom, marriage licenses are ridiculous.
Long version:
When you find yourself "choosing sides" on any issue, love demands you err toward liberty. The "hot topic" now seems to be the sex lives of a small minority of humans, but the concept applies to all the "hot topics" in politics - by design.
I was brought up "good Christian" and properly homophobic. In 7th grade, I met Craig. Craig tried as hard as he could to be heterosexual, he even held my hand at the roller rink one night. He was smart, funny, and the last one to know he was gay. I don't know what ever happened to him, I just know that kid was NOT "deciding" to be gay. At the time in our lives when our hormones began to rage, something in "the wiring" went "wrong" with him. Was he being molested or abused? I'll never know. But if that is the case, it is all the more reason to treat him with LOVE and COMPASSION. I think if you flip to the newer part of that book the "Christians" like to wave, there is some joker who talks about "love one another."
Later, I wound up taking anatomy and physiology a couple times, high school level, then college level, then medical level, then eye specific. The layman's understanding of "XX" or "XY" is grossly oversimplified. We are a range. This is still oversimplified, but something closer to the truth: "XYYY" "XXYY" "XXXY" "XXXX."
Physically, that manifests as people born with testes and ovaries, and people with no testes or ovaries. Consider what that would mean hormonally - the generally accepted source of our "sex drive." To say we "choose" which hormone soup we bathe our brain in is ridiculous.
Ron Paul used to be for the death penalty, then DNA evidence came along and our steadfast, unwavering doctor "flip-flopped." It is better to let guilty men walk free than to execute innocent men. That "flip-flop" is one of the reasons I supported him, I made the same "flip" for the same reasons, I just did not require the DNA test to come to that conclusion. To have both the doctors Paul refuse to speak the medical truth on the "gay rights" divide and conquer strategy is a bit disappointing. Maybe they never thought about it.
It is better to get government out of our families, out of our bedrooms, out of every aspect of our life possible. How about we stop issuing government marriage certificates all together? "Don't ask, don't tell" for everyone! Marriage, divorce, babies, - why do we need the government creating paperwork for any of it?
The most frequent case against "gay rights" is based on Old Testament Bible saying it is a sin. Maybe it is, maybe not. The OT also says judging is not our job. If homosexuality is a sin, that is an issue between the homosexual and God. Whenever you find yourself demanding a politician make a law to stop a "sin" I want you to know this without a doubt: You are on the wrong side of liberty. You might be on the wrong side of that joker who said "Love the sinner, hate the sin." Whenever possible, shoot none of them and let God sort them out.
Now, here is where it gets confusing for many, thanks to Hollywood. There are sexual predators in this world, LOTS of them. Informed consent is important - and part of that "informed consent" ought to be a discussion before ANY sexual contact about what will be done for birth control, or with any unwanted pregnancies. If handled between the two parties BEFORE sex, how many abortions would there be? If a man knew beforehand that he was about to have sex with a woman who would abort his child, he has no room to whine about it later. "Self governance" is always the correct path.
Predators can be defined by their desire for coercive sex. They seek victims, not partners. They have all sorts of sexual appetites, but most heinous are those that prey on children. Not only is there a lack of INFORMED consent, there is damage done to the process of normal sexual development. These are often the people MAKING and "upholding" the laws, and almost exclusively the type "entertaining" the masses. If you rail against a "gay marriage" entertain your kids with the predator's "programming" you are the worst kind of hypocrite; the kind that is teaching your children to trust the predators. How do we know who is which? Truth. We let the homosexuals be open in their relationships, the predators will be easier to spot.
Oh, and love them all even if you believe they are "sinning."

Are you calling Thomas Jefferson homophobic?
Fishy your words in your post:
"I was brought up "good Christian" and properly homophobic" to me are saying good Christians are made to be homophobic.
Note the use of a pejorative in the term "homophibic." I pick on your word "homophobic" as being phobic against anyone who does not agree with the said "phobia."
Then you say:
"Later, I wound up taking anatomy and physiology a couple times, high school level, then college level, then medical level, then eye specific..."
So when I read that I read I was brought up to be "homophobic" as all "good" Christians are, but later after I was educated I found the falicy in being a "good" Christian because "good" Christians are stupid because they are not educated therefore they are homophobic.
Have you ever wondered why the Bible speaks against homosexuality?
Have you ever wondered what open homosexuality looks like? http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality_Research
How about the havoc on a person's health?
I ask those questions because you say this: "We let the homosexuals be open in their relationships, the predators will be easier to spot."
Why in the world would Thomas Jefferson pen these words http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/amendVIIIs... :
"Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least."
I can hardly believe I found those words. And according to wiki...he was removing the death penalty! "In 1778, Thomas Jefferson wrote a bill in Virginia reducing the punishment for rape, polygamy or sodomy from death to castration"
Did Thomas Jefferson know something:
Do my questions and comments indicate to you that I am homophobic or perhaps I am just a Bible-waving Christian who believes in a kook?
Do my questions and comments indicate a lack of love? Or is one able to speak truth in love?

Bear, note that fishy put
"good Christian" in quotes, I believe, because she was not labeling all good Christians as "homophobic," but rather, was indicating that she was raised to be homophobic as the stereotype of a "good Christian" might be.
I have to admit, I don't always understand homosexuals, as I am straight and it doesn't make any sense to me how a man could be physically attracted to and get crushes on other men. But that is my nature, it is the way God made me.
One of my gay friends from college told me (because he was a Christian) that he had resigned himself to never being able to have that "special someone" to spend his life with because he wished to serve the Lord and felt having a homosexual relationship would tarnish that effort. I wish every straight Christian would think about that for a moment, how difficult it would be to never be with your husband or wife romantically because you knew that God would disapprove.
Honestly, Bear, I really don't think fishy was trying to insult you or any other Christian. She was just trying to explain that gay people have a very tough time in this world, and we should not try to make their plight any more difficult by condemning them for being gay, as after all, isn't condemnation or approval up to God, not us?

Personally I see it as divisive: Pitting homosexuals against
homophobic, Bible-waving Christians.

I have had several gay friends in my life,
and most of them wished to God they were straight. It honestly isn't, for the most part, a choice. Even Billy Graham said that although he believed homosexuality to be a sin, he didn't see it as any greater sin than, for instance, lying or adultery (an obvious reference to a certain televangelist who will remain nameless).
Each and every one of us sins every split second simply by existing. We can't help it, as we are all imperfect. In condemning others for a sin that has a label, we are, in fact condemning ourselves for all of our sins, whether they have labels or not. Jesus said if you have broken one commandment, you have broken them all. Keep this in mind next time you feel like complaining about the mote in your neighbor's eye.

Where does marriage belong?
I read a post once that stated that since marriage belongs with God, we're wrong to have government issue marriage certificates. It's effectively "rendering unto Caesar that which is God's."
I fully believe in God's plan, of chastity before marriage and complete fidelity after marriage. But this is God's territory, not the government's. It's not up to the government to dictate marriage for anyone, for any reason. Nor is it up to my neighbours, or anyone else. Teach the principles that would lead to happiness, but use no force outside of one's jurisdiction.
It's okay for me to teach my children that marriage is to be between one man and one woman, and to be virtuous and chaste before marriage and completely faithful after marriage. It's not okay to teach that those who do not live up to this standard deserve to be ostracized and mistreated and shunned. Love everyone, especially those we see as having gone astray, because everyone is a Child of God, and God loves every one of His children. Persecution will not save those precious children. Only love unfeigned and God's power can, just as it is with ourselves.
If my post has offended anyone, please know that I had no intention to offend, and I wish those offended well.

'How about we stop issuing
'How about we stop issuing government marriage certificates all together?'
I do not know if this could work. Couples that marry have children, earn money and that complicates the issue. What would happen with divorce? What happens to the children then? How would you decide who gets what?
In order for that to work, two adults would have to sign a contract between each other to marry. As strange as that sounds it may actually work better than marriage certificates. :)

It used to be that marriages were registered
in the family Bible, or at the parish church, and those were considered legal documents, and still are actually, but society has changed, so in many cases that wouldn't be appropriate. Perhaps, for people who don't use Bibles or churches, and instead of a marriage permit like we have been doing, one ought to have the option of registering a marriage at city hall for in case of divorce, death, or other occasions that involve a judge.
I know couples who were married in large Presbyterian church weddings who didn't buy a marriage permit from the government, and they are lawfully married according to the Church and civil government.
The only reason why a couple would need a marriage license is for living on a military base together or being able to stay together during international military moves. The feds require a marriage license for that.

These words that you said
"I think if you flip to the newer part of that book the "Christians" like to wave, there is some joker who talks about "love one another"."
do not match your title
"Can Love Lift Liberty Above the Divide and Conquer Issues?"
IMO because Love does lift above pointing fingers at anyone...including "the Christians." And the "joker" you speak of is Jesus Christ. He was not joking when he said to love one another.
I feel divided and conquered. It is how I felt after getting to the part about "the Christians" and the "book they wave" and "some joker."

C"mon bear, you are trying to be offended then.
You know the kind of "Christian" I am talking about, and you know sarcasm when you read it. If I thought Jesus was just a "joker" I would not be trying to promote his message of "LOVE ONE ANOTHER" in spite of the garbage the churches spew. If I called Ron Paul a "kook" would you be offended?

Hey I missed you last week on the DP. If you called Ron Paul a kook, I would say something.
When you say "the churches spew" you are collectivizing.
Why pick out Christians and Churches?
You say the words in absolutes "the churches" & "the Christians."
If you added the qualifier "some" I would not think twice about the statements. Or even better if you use "some who call themselves..."
There are counterfeit Christians and counterfeit churches.
Why lump them all into the same group?
The word church means called out assembly. A bowling team is a "church"
The word Christian means little Christ. Little Christs do not spew hate otherwise they are not little Christs, or in otherwords imitators of Christ. Christianity is singular, individual, and voluntary. There are many counterfeits.
Being lumped together with counterfeits gets old...Oh gee, that sounds like I am some kind of "great" Christian. I don't mean to sound that way lol. But I am not a hater, my husband is a pastor and he is not a hater. He does not spew hate. We do not spew hate.
Perhaps those that spew hate are placed by the devil to conceal the truth?
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way

Bear, pick on words all you must to feel righteous.
You know what I am talking about. Most of the people who claim to be Christian are not "little Christs" - they are attending "mega churches" where they are exposed to blatant mass hypnosis and told to support Israel above all and that obedience to the government is God's will. They are being lead by a desire to know Christ, but few have any desire to actually FOLLOW his teachings. Churches like it that way - spiritual sovereignty means no tithes to them, and no obedient masses to control.
Those that openly spew hate are less of a problem than those who think they are doing good work, but are blindly obeying corrupt leaders.

You know fishy
the words you write about churches and mass hypnosis concern me only because I can see churches being made out to be the villan and it seems to me that during population cleansing churches and the people that attend them are targeted.
That being said, people within churches have the right to free speech just like we do here. I understand what you are saying about churches holding power over people. However, you did not say that in your post.
That being said, people within the church have every right to teach every word written in the Bible and if certain things are called out as sin, then it is the right of those people to believe and say so. You may like to say that I am under hypnosis to believe that the Bible is from God and it holds the best plan for mankinds everyday living as well as eternity. You have every right to say that and every right to chide me.
Please know though, that I do not need to feel righteous. I just feel the need to speak my mind when I happen to read words that appear to me to be misleading. I do not have to pick out any words to feel righteous or self-righteous. I am righteous because I am in Christ and He is my righteousness.
Here we are talking about love lifting liberty and at the same time downing Bible waving Christians. The very title of your comment to me appears condescending, IMO.

Was Jesus conveying his love through a whip?
You can still love a butcher and a slaver while beating them with a whip. Stop trying to paint Jesus as some fuzzy love monger who never opposed any of mans evils. He sacrificed everything to give you a chance because he knew in a world filled with this kind of evil, you'd have no chance without his sacrifice.
Tolerance is what makes tyranny possible, not love.

I'd like to think so.
Some who claim the name Christian are misguided, but true believers. ( Yes, this includes me in some areas. Some of us are even recovering legalists, and recovering statists, as well, with all the hang-ups that entails.)
Personally, I question the salvation of one who could boo the 'Golden Rule'. However, I wouldn't condemn them, that is not within my jurisdiction. What is within my 'domain' is to inspect their fruit. (Just as it is within both the fellow Christian's 'domain' and the unbeliever's domain to inspect my fruit.)
I wish all Christians or those who claim the name would read one book (Besides the Bible). It is called, Evangelism, Doing Justice and Practicing Grace, and is written by Harvey Conn. In it he describes a principle of looking at others that would really change the judgmental perspective most take of certain types of 'sinners'.
He points out that those committing what many Christians see as gross sins, are often not just committing sin, but are even more grossly being sinned against. The 'boyfriend' who pressures a girl into getting an abortion would be one of the 'sinning against' types, but so would a 'Christian' parent who did the same because of 'how it would look to have a pregnant daughter to fellow Church members'. This can also be traced back as far as one would like.
As for me, I don't want to take away anyone's natural rights.(enumerated in the Bill of Rights) On the other hand, I don't want my rights removed, either. I wish my brothers and sisters were all awake to the numerous ways our rights 'as Christians' were being removed, from Obamacare's forced abortafacient coverage to being on the target list in Colorado for forced gun confiscation.(thanks, emalvini, for the post) Combating the loss of our rights would be more than enough to keep all of us busy, leaving no time (hopefully) to plot the removal of the rights of others.

I agree wholeheartedly
with everything you say here...having known and loved numerous homosexually oriented people in my life, I find it ludicrous to suggest that it is a "choice!"
Once again, the answer is for the government to not be involved, and to respect each individual for who he/she is.

Rosaria Butterfield, the author of a book I just read,
was a lesbian for 10 years. She said that for her it absolutely was a choice. She chose to live that life, and then she chose to stop it.
All of us are oriented to lie, cheat, steal, some more so than others. Whether we give in to those temptations or not is a choice.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I was not expecting this dishwasher to be amazing, especially since it was the least expensive stainless steel model I could find. I was using to replace my Miele, that was being moved to my new house. This one was just to make the new buyer happy. I did not think that I would need to make TWO service calls within the first month of use.First thing that happened was that a rubber spatula slipped onto the exposed heating element, melting and smoking. New heating element, not on warranty, $175 inclduing service call.Two weeks later the unit stopped draining. Service person came out (Frigidaire, owned now by Electrolux), does not have their own service, so you are at the mercy of whomever you find.Service person came out next day, looked at the unit, and figured out it was either the pump or some elbow that is not functioing. Had to wait 2 days for parts, and another week for an appointment.And when it does work, it does a very POOR job of cleaning and sounds like a jet plane at takeoff.

Sushi News Roll: E3 Demos Revealed, New WoW Delayed + More

Although you can usually write off most video game adaptations, 'Assassin's Creed' feels like it could finally break the mold. After all, an acclaimed actor like Michael Fassbender doesn't sign onto any old piece of junk -- there must be something special about this project.
And it looks like it's officially scheduled to arrive in the summer of 2015.
When the Nintendo 64 showed up on the scene, we got some great 3D platforming games. Super Mario 64, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, etc. We also got a TON of racing games! That little analog stick on the controller worked great for racers, especially the futuristic racer, F-Zero X.
After months and months of speculation, Microsoft has finally spilled the beans on its latest console!
Let's grab a giant platter of sushi news and bite down on the best pieces of content to hit the web on May 17th, 2013. Thank the gaming gods it's Friday.
Video games and violence seem to be a match made in heaven (or hell...whatever works best.) Violent video games have been around since video games were even created. When most think of a violent video game today, they think headshots, guns, grenades, and maybe a chainsaw. We forget though, before we grabbed a gun in a video game, we grabbed 2x4's with rusty nails, lead pipes, and the good ol' fist! SPLATTERHOUSE!
The new video game releases for June 2013 are shaping up quite nicely. Not only are we getting the Legendary Edition of Skyrim, but we're also seeing the release of two insanely anticipated games.
A new scan from an upcoming issue CoroCoro magazine has been released, courtesy of Serebii.net, and shows us some of the new creatures and features in Pokemon X and Y.
Mothers day is just around the corner, and you have to figure out what to do with your mother. Problem is, you have no money, can't afford a card, and you honestly have no idea what to do for Mother's Day
Ah, the summertime. The sun is shining, the water is warm and inviting, people are going on vacation, and gamers have absolutely no important game releases to look forward to. Maybe we will see a licensed title here or there for the big summer blockbuster movies, but on the whole, important video game releases simply don't happen in the summer. Why is this? Why does our industry seemingly get put on hold, or at the very least slow down in the summertime months?
The original Star Fox was revolutionary for it's time, with the super awesome SUPER FX CHIP! Well, nowadays the SUPER FX CHIP looks like crap, but it was still fun. So obviously a sequel was planned for Star Fox named 'Star Fox 2.' We waited, waited, and waited....and it never came out! Good...because of that, Star Fox 64 arrived!

CBS 2 - Search Results
Two Accused in Boston Bombing Scam
Two brothers have pleaded not guilty to making a false $2 million claim to the Boston Marathon bombing victims' fund for their long-dead aunt.
Twenty-two-year-old Branden Mattier and 27-year-old Domunique Grice, both of Boston, were arraigned Wednesday on charges of conspiracy to commit larceny, attempt to commit larceny and identity fraud. Mattier was held on $20,000 bail. Grice was released on personal recognizance and ordered to surrender his passport and report weekly to probation officials.
Mattier was arrested July 2 when he allegedly accepted a fake check from an undercover state trooper. Grice was charged last month. Prosecutors say the brothers planned to test drive a new Mercedes-Benz the day they got the check.
State police say Mattier told them he intended to use the money to help people.

Apologies if this thread has been raised and closd before.
As we have seen in the last couple of threads, Bloomberg, FFL student being "made" by friends etc there are a lot of folks out there who for a variety of reasons have issues with firearms.
This is a CCW issue but not exclusively one as every owner of a firearm has probably been beasted by the un-informed at some point or other.
Now, I am fully for personal choice, if you don't want/desire/need etc that's your perogative and we should all support it.
However we need to get the issue of INFORMED decision across.
What I would ask is that folks think of those arguable and defensible reasons to
A. Own personal firearms
B. Have the applicable legal right for CCW where permitted by law.
This is not a "My state is bad", "Because the 2nd Amendment says so", "they should just get it" flame war invitation.....
The idea is to get a succinct set of responses that we can not just trot out but believe in. That sort of calm, reasoned, informed belief convinces folks a lot better than ""Cause I can" and may end up shepherding a few of the unelightened our way.
I'll kick off,
Mary comes by and asks....
"Why do you have a pistol in the house, isn't it dangerous/someone might get hurt...?"
"Mary, I won't start off on a long spiel on how the 2nd amendment guarantees all of us the right if we desire to hold and bear arms. I know that one can sound like a bit of a cop out. The issue is more that that alone, it's about people taking personal responsibility.
The founding fathers thought long and hard over the Constitution and Bill of Rights and the basis of law is that if it's not explicitly illegal, it is legal. So I follow the law and have made an informed decision.
As for dangerous and hurt, a firearm CAN harm or kill but so can a steak knife, a frying pan, a car or a naked flame.
Like any reasonable person I take responsibility for my actions. A firearm can harm or kill so I take measures to ensure it is and remains safe.
"OK....Like I get it.....I know about that 2nd Amendment...
But a gun can kill soooooo easily and what if a child's in the house?
In any case I just don't like them!!!"
You get the idea....We got 'em hooked and talking now lets get the good, justifiable, emotion free reasons....in no particular order.
Well it is legal (where its legal)
Cheaper sport than golf....(couldn't resist that one)
A firearm is a tool no different than any other be it a screwdriver, a box cutter, a power drill or a lathe. If you abuse it, don't follow the instructions, maintain it or treat it like a toy it WILL bite you just the same. A reasonable person knows this and acts accordingly.
A burglar in your house hears a high pitched "Help I'm being robbed....Sure ma'am we'll have someone round on Tuesday" OR "Police, I have an intruder in the house and I am armed"... Which chat motivates Mr Burglar?
The police do the job they are paid for with the funds they have. That means thay can NEVER be where you need them WHEN you need them every or even most times. Please feel free to pay triple your taxes.......and still get robbed from time to time.
You pay for insurance don't you...?
I keep an emergency flashlight by the bed, this is for an emergency that a flashlight can't handle.
As has been seen in the recent past, Katrina as an example, bad things do happen to good people. Sometimes good people need the sort of assistance that can protect them, their families or loved ones.
If you are 5'6" and 120lb and he is 6'5" and 260lb then you can either let nature take it's course or stand up and a firearm can assist you.
A firearm does not make you
6" higher
75lb of muscle heavier
Better or more moral
It allows you to AVOID a situation where you NEED to be all of the above. I know this as a truth and hold it to my heart.
Please feel free to flame if this has been beaten to death before but I feel that it is not enough to say, "I can so I will", I want others to understand and accept even if they disagree. The best defense on this whole issue is to have the right answers available so we don't think of the perfect response 10 minutes later....

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitrack_recording#Process) or who start
using autotuners as an effect
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotune#In_popular_music). And you know
what? Linux Audio is the perfect starting point imo for doing things
differently, not only because it is different but also because it's
completely free. And that's what musicians might appeal in the near
future, sheer freedom. Within 50 years the record labels have managed to
destroy their own businesses simply by taking away the musician's
freedom, it's a matter of years before musicians start to follow the
examples of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails and regain their freedom. So
yes, we have to play that political card, the time is right, more and
more people are considering FLOSS as a viable option (that includes
Neelie Kroes, the EU Commissioner for Digital Agenda:
and those are not just the people buying biological food or pieces of
land in the Amazon to reduce their ecological footprint.
And what we really need is quality stuff, quality music, quality videos,
quality live stuff. There is waaaaaaaay too little available at the
moment while it is perfectly possible to create quality music with
Linux. We need more Ken Restivo's, more Sebkha Chott's, more Louigi
Verona's (and any other talent hanging around here that I might forget,
sorry beforehand). We need a buzz, a technique, a workflow that yields
something unique that makes people wonder how it was done, that makes
people crave to reproduce that uniqueness so they can start destroying
it again ;)

I am in charge of running our security camera/download video if there is an incident (theft/vandalism) in our complex. I have to go through HOURS of searching to get data from various cameras. The office is not very comforable for me, so I would like to at least do the searching from home. I know I can watch at home from my computer if I enter in the IP addresses (or something), but I don't know which numbers/what to do to watch from home. I called the company who our equipment is with and they said they don't know, and to call the server. I called the server (Time Warner), and they said they didn't know. I seem to get the 'I don't know-call the other guy' from everyone.
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you can find the recorded video files, maybe try right clicking the filename.mp4 ? and select properties. You might be able to copy and paste the file address.. Then use the folder address to see whats in the folder(s) Its possible it uploads to an ftp account ? So you might find it easier to access the folder and see file dates and times with an ftp program like FileZilla . If that is how your system works.. So many different ways they can save files, .. so im just guessing,,, its hard to be specific. |

is there someone there that can just tell you by phone or email the current IP address there? One easy way to get your IP address that is easy for most people to remember is go to or they can get it by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center. Under Connection, click View status. |
Here is a link that might be useful: IP chicken
Is your PC on the same network (LAN) that the office PC is? If not, I'd drop the idea of reaching across the internet to access the office PC. Too difficult for a non-expert and too many security issues, also, most internet connections are too slow to upload video. The quickest and easiest approach might be to copy the video files from the office PC onto an external drive, which you could then carry home and connect to your PC. Raven, tell me more about what you have in mind in suggesting a novice user can use an external IP address to access a PC across the internet. |

I never suggested any such thing the question was asked about finding the IP address of a computer that is the question I answered how to find an IP address!!! NOTHING MORE |
As I think about it, I believe some security programs are set up to facilitate a type of "remote access" by uploading or by rerouting inquiries using a third party site. OP, sorry for the misdirection, maybe that's what is being used? The above info can help you find the office's external (to the internet) IP address. You may need (or already have) a website address, and a user name and password. |
I guess I didn't make myself clear- sorry. I can do all the work at the office- which is about 500 feet away from my condo. I can use/get into the office computer fine. I don't know which IP/or whatever you need to use, so that I can get online with my netbook at home 500 feet away. I want to watch video from my home without downloading everything to a dvd/disc at the office and then bringing it home to watch. There is a way to watch live/saved video on the computer that is at my house even though the 'film' is on the computer at the office. Hope I made myself more clear. Thanks |
I should have added that I can look at the IP addresses- and whatever ......but I don't know which things/numbers I need to know, in order to put that info into my computer. In other words, I have everything but I don't know what to do with it! |
I have several network camera's.. all come with a remote configuration/live-system viewer program. All are very configurable to upload saved video to a local computer or a www computer. To access them remotely the computer they are on has to be running some kind of server that is configured to be open to the www. For the server to actually be open to the web,, its router has to be set up to allow it to talk to the www. Do you have a remote control system software program installed on your home computer ? Can anybody anywhere view the live video ? |

New mini golf course in Ottertail
Nick's Bar and Grill in Ottertail just added something new to the menu - an 18-hole mini golf course.
Owner Nick Opatz said he bought the course from a seller in Battle Lake and brought it over to Ottertail to give area families "something else to do when they come off the lakes in the summer."
The course opened about two weeks ago, and Opatz said people have been enjoying it.
Special deals on food are often available to those who buy a round of golf.

Early every morning at Frosted Pink Cake Company, bakers blend bowls of fresh eggs, Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans, rich chocolates, and fruit to create a variety of small-batch cakes and cake pastries. The company was founded by pastry chef Tonja Jefferson, who decided to trade in her corporate career to follow a lifelong passion for baking. This passion shines through in her cakes, topped with custom hand-drawn designs and layered in flavors that include banana chocolate chip and black and white raspberry. On a similarly sweet branch of the family tree, the cakes' little cupcake cousins come in classic and deluxe flavors that rotate daily and always integrate the bakery's signature swirl of cream-cheese or buttercream frosting. Some of the more elaborate flavors include a mimicked candy bar—a chocolate cupcake filled with homemade caramel—and an italian cream cake that tops a vanilla cake with mascarpone-cream-cheese frosting, toasted coconut, and walnuts.
Inside Yogurt Zone, staff serve up a mix of classic and unique frozen yogurt flavors, such as non-fat birthday cake and low-fat Heath toffee crunch. These frozen creations can also sport a range of toppings, from Fruit Loops and Oreos to cheese cake pieces and yogurt raisins. In addition to dispensing dessert, the shop focuses on reducing and recycling its waste to leave a smaller environmental footprint.
Chef Wendy conjures up a daily menu of delectable cakes and post-dinner delights from scratch, slathering silken ribbons of frosting onto standard and premium cake flavors. Decorated with rose-shaped whirls of cream cheese or butter-cream icing, dozens or half dozens of cupcakes make delicious substitutes for inedible flower bouquets. Works of art alight on custom cakes to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions, and cream-topped pies yearn to be scooped up or thrown in faces. Warm light bathes the bakery's charming interior, where bright furniture contrasts with earth-toned walls that pay homage to Mother Nature's bounty of sugarcane and cupcake-bearing shrubs.
The Marble Slab Creamery sensory experience begins by just walking past the storefront, where the buttery scent of fresh-baked waffle cones drifts out into the air. Gourmet ice creams are freshly crafted on site from Marble Slab's original recipe, enticing customer's eyes with a rainbow of colors. Once clients have made a flavor selection, they choose from a smorgasbord of mix-ins, from fresh fruit to nuts to candy and crumbled cookies, which an ice cream chef then hand-folds in atop a frosty marble slab before packing the finished custom-designed flavor masterpiece into a house-made waffle cone.
In addition to procuring hand-held treats, Marble Slab Creamery can send creations home in a variety of other formats, such as ice cream cakes, cupcakes, and hand-packed quarts, or in the capable hands of a catering team for sprucing up special events such a corporate get-togethers or school functions with sundae bars in tow.
Pie Place Café & Bakery's made-from-scratch creations tempt discerning taste buds by way of seasonal rotation and ever-inventive recipes. Start stomach engines with a classic greek salad ($7.95), or a toasted-walnut and fruit salad tossed with mandarin oranges, crisp apples, and craisins ($8.95). A variety of soups are offered throughout the week, starting with broccoli and cheese on Monday and concluding with Saturday's white chicken chili ($3.95 for a cup, $4.95 for a bowl). A bevy of alternating savory pies warm bellies with comforting options, including the chicken enchilada, which layers spicy cream sauce with chicken, cheese, avocado, and sour cream. Likewise, hearty sandwiches such as the chipotle-chicken panini unite bacon and cheese on ciabatta ($7.25), while the black-bean burger boasts its galactic share of sliced-avocado crescents ($7.25).
White Rhino Coffee is about more than just coffee—although really good coffee is of the utmost importance here. Open early and closing late, the cafe serves as a place where strangers can become friends over caffeine-fueled conversations and laughter. Along with classic french press, espresso, and drip coffees, the staff recommends tasty drinks like nonfat iced dirty peppermint chai. "Edibles" such as house-baked cookies, muffins, fresh fruit, and scrumptious sandwiches keep bellies full and quiet during events like open mic night and group naps.

Anti-Virus Software 101
It's time to turn your attention to the subject even if you feel you are ready. Anyone that's been hiding under a rock should know that this software runs continuously in the background of your computer (it's in your Start group), looking for infected files that can come from a variety of sources, including the Internet, CD-ROMs, disks and probably the most publicized source, e-mail messages.
Although you and your company or firm may have anti-virus software, the real advantage to having it is to automatically take care of any virus that comes in via regular, Web-enabled updates. You can set these updates to occur automatically by setting a time and date in your software program.
Experts recommend you avoid free anti-virus software demos and opt for the paid version. The demos often do not reflect the latest updates, bells and whistles.

The Fridericianum is a museum in Kassel, Germany. Built in 1779, it is one of the oldest public museums in Europe.[1] The quintennial art festival documenta is centred on the site.[2]
The Fridericianum was designed by Simon Louis du Ry and originally housed the state library of Hesse, the art collections of the Hessian landgraves, collections of antiques, weaponry, natural history, astronomy and physics, cork models of antique buildings, and wax figures of historic Hessian landgraves. However, the exhibits were moved into other museums in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the library was heavily damaged in World War II,[1] after which the surviving books were moved into the Kassel University Library.
Today the Fridericianum hosts temporary art exhibitions put on by the city of Kassel, the exhibition hall Fridericianum and the Kasseler Kunstverein, as well as documenta.[1] In 2011, it hosted the first exhibition of Danh Vo's "We the People", for which the artist recast a life-size Statue of Liberty from 30 tons of copper sheets.[3]

GUNS 'N HOSES ANNOUNCES NEW DATE Annual Thanksgiving Eve Event Rescheduled for January 30, 2015
ST. LOUIS (Dec. 9, 2014): The 28th annual Budweiser Guns 'N Hoses boxing event which was originally scheduled for November 26 has been rescheduled for Friday, January 30, 2015, at Scottrade Center. Tickets that were purchased for the original date will be honored at the January 30 event.
Guns 'N Hoses will feature 15 three-round bouts of boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) matches between police officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel from Missouri and Illinois. Both male and female fighters are scheduled. Prior to the opening bell, Guns 'N Hoses will honor those first responders who lost their lives during the past year.
"We are very excited that we have found a new date to host this annual event," said David Stokes, president of the St. Louis Guns 'N Hoses Boxing Association. "It wasn't an easy decision to postpone this year's event but, out of respect for all those involved, we felt it was the right thing to do. Now, we are able to properly honor our fallen heroes."
Guns 'N Hoses is presented by the non-profit St. Louis Guns 'N Hoses Boxing Association. Since its inception in 1987, Guns 'N Hoses has raised more than $4.5 million to benefit The BackStoppers.
Ticket prices for the 2014 Guns 'N Hoses event are $35, $25 and $15, and are available by calling Mark O'Brien, St. Louis City Police Department, (314) 691-1377; Ed Fingers, St. Louis County Police Department, (314) 713-6031; or Dan Wunder, O'Fallon, Ill. Police Department, (618) 973-1200. Tickets also are available at all Hair Saloon locations, the Scottrade Center Box Office and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

"Great Clean Mystery"
Yes. I get very tired of smut and bad language in books. It is so pervasive. It takes a really good author to create a mystery that relies fully on its story and characters and doesn't resort to this other stuff. This mystery is well-written. The descriptions are done well. The mystery is unfolded bit by bit and leaves you with a "Don't go there with that person!" experience at the end. My daughter suggested this series to me and has read all the books. She thinks they are great and I have to agree with her. Such a pleasure to find one without too much bad language and inappropriate scenes that is still suspenseful. It does unfold very gradually and might be boring to those who want constant high speed chases and bombs blowing up. I thought it was very well done though.
Bess Crawford is determined and brave. She is smart, patient, and kind as well as full of understanding. I really liked the references to shell shock and the sacrifices made by the soldiers.
Wow the beginning was great. The moments where they were escaping from the ..... well I'd better not say. I was there watching it though... This in particular gave it a real historical flavor.
An Old-Fashioned Hitchcock type Suspense Mystery set in WWI Britain
I didn't know who did it until the end. I had suspicions but couldn't get it narrowed down even though the field of possible suspects was small. I just new at the end that it wasn't what it appeared to be at first. I really enjoyed it. Good for people of any age. I would think that most people who enjoy a good who-dun-it book will enjoy this.
"Another trademark Elizabeth Peters slam-dunk."
I love this whole series. Every book is a masterpiece. Please read them in order.
"Great Solid follow-up to Mark of Athena"
Yes. I have recommended this series many times. It is fun for many ages of people who enjoy fantasy adventures. My whole family is reading it. It has a much better satisfying ending than the last one, but there will be one more book. My main reasons for recommendation would be humor, adventure, imagination, character development. Riordan is a really great author. I am so glad he started writing these books. this book does give you something you may need to talk to younger children about.
I really like the character development in Frank and Hazel. They grow a lot. Piper and Jason both discover things about themselves or their powers. Reyna and many other characters, especially villains come back to make a reappearance. Leo even gets to have a bit of a romance. Loved it. Percy and Annabeth have a tough time just hanging onto life to do too much more than they did in the last book.
He does a great job with this series. I especially like his cheeky voice for Leo and his solemn funeral voice for Nico. He does the women's voices well too. Coach Hedge is a crackup!
I especially was moved by Percy and Annabeth's escape through the doors of Death. Also Frank and Hazel in the House of Hades. Great ending.
I maybe didn't like it as well as some of Riordan's Heroes of Olympus books, because it was so dark, but it was still good. I'm really looking forward to the last book in the series. Three of my family members have read it now and my two youngest (9 and 12 years old) are still in process. I've got one that refuses to read it because the last book was too much of a cliff-hanger. He wants to wait to read it when the next book comes out to complete the series. Great book for the families. Does have one issue that you may need to discuss with your children, but nothing that shouldn't be discussed anyway. Still clean overall.
"Fun Great series"
Don't know. I've only listened to the audio. Kathrine Kellgren does such an excellent job at narrator that I don't know that I'd want to read them. Her voices for Queenie and Belinda are great... but then so are all the other voices. She does them all well. One of my favorite narrators
I love Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody books (First one is Crocodile on the Sandbank) They are very character driven, include a mystery, are pretty clean (referred to buy they manage to close the bedroom door), and have relatively little swearing in them (mostly what I call farmer swear words) Nothing too much or overly offensive. There are a lot of books and all the characters become good friends over the series. They are very fun.
All the books read by her that I've heard are excellent presentations. She narrates the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan and does a great job there as well.
I always laugh out loud with these books. They are fun Maybe this one not quite as good as some in the series, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely listen to them again.
You won't go wrong with this series if you like humorous cozy mysteries.
"Just so so"
More virtue in the main character. More questioning of his motives or more justification for the demonic character. Good supporting characters. More interesting mentors.
I'm not sure who this book was written for. I wouldn't let my 9 and 12 year old boys read it. It would be okay for 14 and up readers though. They talk about what happens to boys when they see a pretty girl and other more mature themes. There are references to the "town slut" and sexual harassment moments that I didn't appreciate. There is a friendship with a demonic character and quite a bit of graphic violence--Bursting creatures and people and the main character kills most of them himself. The characters are not too endearing, except for the main character and the demonic character and maybe the main character's mother.
It was fine and didn't detract from the story.
I wouldn't have had the bursting people. I would have the demon transport him to another place or find out that the demon wasn't a demon at all. Most people don't befriend demons.
If you are looking for fantasy for the younger set it would be better to steer them to Rick Riordan for any Percy Jackson books or his Kane Chronicles; J.K. Rowling for Harry Potter, Brandon Mull for the Fablehaven series or Michael Scott for the Alchemist: The Tales of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. These are action packed fantasy adventures. For 14 crowd girls or boys Colleen Houck's Tiger's Curse books would be great, but it is a romantic fantasy.... entirely clean though. This one plods. It does have a decent magical system and I thought it was interesting, but it wasn't well-done. Hundreds of other books would be better choices.
"After 3rd listen I'm still amazed -- With Caution"
Toward the upper part of my list. Jane Austen, Sarah Eden, Georgette Heyer, and Julianne Donaldson are at the top, but in adult fantasy he is up there right near the top.
I love the way Patrick Rothfuss writes. I like Tolkien as much anyone, but he info dumps on you. You hear about a 5000 year old sword and then endure 5 paragraphs or 5 pages of info on its background and what it is called in 3 to 5 languages. Rothfuss sprinkles tidbits, tricks, and weaves the story in an amazing way. I know at least 2 people who don't like this story as much as I do, but I think it is amazing. I call him an Anti-Robert Jordan. With RJ you have thousands of characters. This story is completely around 1 main character. There are great supporting characters as well. They come and go and come again creating an interesting tapestry. Where RJ was all about the interpretation of myths and legends and prophecies, Rothfuss takes the angle of gleaning the truth from the myths and legends, and what happens when they get out of hand. Fascinating.
He is Kvothe. He does women's voices well. He is very nearly perfect for this. I almost expect him to be a red-haired lute player...
Wanted yes, Of course, I didn't. Too long.
There is only one caution. Kvothe meets a faerie who helps him become a man. You don't want to miss the entire portion of the story in this other world, but for those like me who would prefer their fantasy totally clean, you may want to skip a a few minutes of the story. He doesn't over do it and it doesn't get explicit again, and it isn't overly described but it definitely is adult and not for young children or tweens. I normally give books with this kind of thing an F or only 1 star. I did take off one star because of it. I don't even recommend these books to anyone. There are a few swear words sprinkled throughout the book. I still have mixed feelings about recommending this book; but after 3 listens of both books, I have realized more important points of the story. You can't find this kind of writing every day. My dad likes Rothfuss better than Jordan. I don't pretend to rank him. I just know that I really like his writing style. I love the characters and yearn for them to be in a happier place. I can hardly wait for the next book although it will have to be a bit like Star Wars episode 3. We aren't going to like where it ends up. Hopefully these 3 books will be the beginning of how Kvothe fixes himself and the world he lives in. I personally think this is epic fantasy at its best.
"Charming and Witty Romance!"
First off I just must say that I LOVE this book. I've actually bought 2 copies of the paperback and petitioned Audible to get the book on Audible. I sent one to my mother and will loan the second one out to a neighbor today. You will never find a sweeter more charming romance. I do wish they had chosen a British narrator. The performance was okay. I realize that this is Ms. Donaldson's first book. As regency romances go the language is a little more modern and the British reserve perhaps a tad lacking, but that hardly matters because the story is great. As a romance this excels! Miss Marianne Daventry is impetuous, passionate and loves horses and country life. She is also always getting herself into an embarrassing situation. Sir Philip Wyndham is dashing, handsome and smitten with Marianne. She is young and terribly naive and a little clueless. I also must say that this is a sweet regency sort of romance and is completely clean. My sister said to me "What more could I want in a book? It has a library, horses and a handsome gentleman!" It does have more though. It has a highwayman, a lost locket, some misunderstandings, a little jealousy and a delicious lesson in romance. If you love sweet, witty romances you will LOVE this as much as I do. After I read it the first time, I picked it up to look at a couple of the really hilarious scenes and ended up rereading it entirely. Don't miss out on this wonderful story!
"What was that?"
This book was ........ I don't know how I should describe it. I would NOT recommend it to much of anyone. Whereas it was NOT explicitly sexual it has a LOT of unsavory situations, It talks about them as something the bad characters are involved with and is not overly graphic, but is still not nice. The sexual slave trade is what is the major topic of conversation. They specifically talk about the use of VERY young girls so basically it is child molestation. I liked the magical systems and most of the discussions and parts that included magical learning. I do NOT like the ending. There are parts of it I liked; Some parts of this story are purely blasphemous and/or evil. The ending is disturbing to me and certainly NOT what I would have written or accepted as a resolution. I bought this on a sale and I may return it. It wasn't entirely repulsive, but it is NOT something I even liked. If it was a real book, it would be going to goodwill or just chucked in the garbage. I feel like I've just eaten a bad apple. Yuck.
"Perfect Fantasy Adventure Story for All Ages"
While these books are geared toward children, they are really a lot of fun for any age. I love the imagined world in these books. I like the fact that the kids make mistakes but learn from them. I really love seeing their thinking process and what their imaginations come up with for solutions to difficult problems. The added characters, magical potions, magical artifacts and creatures are really cool.
My 9 year old son has just listened to this audiobook. You can't believe how much work and summer-time math practice I got out of that boy, because I wouldn't let him have my ipod to listen to this book until he was done with school practice and chores. At the end he said in a frantic voice, "Mom! Where is the third book?!"
Hooray that Audible has them on their site now! I'm going to get them all. I have them on CD already, but the CD versions are a NIGHTMARE to put into itunes. They misname files, misname the book, change the name of the narrator and the whole numbering sequence of the files. You honestly have to rename all of the hundreds of files to get it to play correctly on an ipod. We don't have many CD players left. I'm one of the people who has begged Audible to get these books because the CD's are truly atrocious. Only one problem..... where are books 4 & 5? Hopefully, they get them soon.
Warning: The narrator has a strange cadence, but you get used to it. It is the same narrator as for the first book, so if you liked that you're fine. Listen to the sample before you buy. He drives me nuts sometimes, but somehow you forget about it when the story picks up. He does old and young voices well and they use some cool special effects for monsters and other voices. I especially like his voices for the main characters. Seth and Kendra are spot on.
I'm listening to them all again at the same time as my son. The third book is one of my favorites, and I can hardly wait to listen to it. If you love clean fantasy adventures in a truly magical world, great main characters and an interesting storyline. You'll not miss the mark with Fablehaven 02 Rise of the Evening Star. Just as good or better than Fablehaven. Great books for the 8 to 14 set that adults will also enjoy. Great for LONG car rides and family fun! Some scary moments. No bad language or compromising situations. All around good fun.
"Sci-Fi Animal Lovers Who Want Suspense, Read On!"
What if you could communicate with your pet, and he or she could talk back to you? This is a great story about a dog who is genetically enhanced to be about as intelligent as a human, and a super-soldier beast from the same lab that runs a-muck! I wished desperately after reading this book in high school that I could get a dog with these same qualities. The Outsider is what nightmares are made of. This thriller tale kept me up at night until I finished it and left me in a state of shock and wonder when it was over. BEWARE: If you do not like gore, there are parts of this book that are not for you. There is also a significant amount of swearing that I did not enjoy, and some brief sexual situations. Nothing personal to Koontz, but I think there are some things that should stay behind closed doors. I would have given this book a 5 star rating if not for these things. It is still a good read, but proceed with some caution. This book is not for kids.

Hostel Cloud Nine
Essaouira, MoroccoCloud Nine is a new hostel in a great location - walk to beach, port, medina! The directions provided worked great. There is no sign, but the number is on the door. The place is clean and comfortable with great roof top terraces. Internet connection worked ok, plenty of hot water. By far the best thing about Cloud Nine are the guys running it - very helpful, very accommodating! Staying here felt like staying with family or friends! :) I definitely recommend it!

Casa Annasr
Chefchaouen, MoroccoI had money stolen from my pack when it was locked in my room! I know it was in the room and not in town. I separated my currency and left US dollars and euros in my pack, locked in my private room, and this money is gone! I emailed, got no response. Room was comfortable and clean. For a hot shower put the hot water heater on about an hour ahead and expect to take about a 5 minute shower before the water goes cold. You will get your exercise staying here walking up many hills to the town.

With Thanksgiving and Black Friday around the corner, it's time to start thinking about those gifts and what better gift than a gaming gift. This year, there's lots of new gadgets and games that would make great stocking stuffers. Here's our Top 10 gaming gifts for the 2012 holidays.
Rovio has returned to once again dominate your mobile screens with the newest follow up to the "Angry Birds" franchise. With a new focus and new gameplay mechanics, does "Bad Piggies" measure up to "Angry Birds"? Let's find out as we review "Bad Piggies" on the iPhone.
The Samsung Galaxy S III started shipping this week in the US and we took a deeper look at 4.8-inch screen sized Android beauty. Samsung has been on a tear lately with its Android phones, outselling even Apple and its venerable iPhones with over 50 million Galaxy S2s sold. With the new Galaxy S III, Samsung seems to continue its momentum with company claims of over 10 million pre-orders of the phone before the Galaxy S III has even shipped. Samsung triumphantly unveiled the phone this week in New York to the US public and press for the first time and we were able to get our hands on one. Here's our review of the Samsung Galaxy S III Android smartphone.
The idea behind E3 was to showcase the latest and brightest games of 2012, but there are always a few games that disappoint us. Some games on our list made serious changes to their formula, and not for the better. Other games took center stage at E3 when they shouldn't have. There were many games at E3, but here is our top five list of disappointments.
Rovio could probably sit around and talk for hours on end about how much cash they've raked in with their Angry Birds franchise. Between the games, the stuffed toys, the upcoming movie, the advertising tie-ins, the candy…yes, there's Angry Birds candy…there's literally no end to this cash cow. But that doesn't mean the team has forgotten how to make the games special. And on March 22, it takes the next logical step in the series, by launching the Angry Birds into…well, outer space.
BARCELONA -- On the first day of Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona, SEGA showed Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time on a tablet powered by NVIDIA's quad core Tegra 3. Called Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode II, the new mobile game will launch some time in the Spring this year. It will come out first exclusively for NVIDIA Tegra-powered smartphones and tablets in NVIDIA's Tegra Zone before rolling out onto other Android devices after. We got a first hand look at the blue wonder doing his thing on the Tegra 3-powered Asus Transformer Prime tablet in this exclusive video.
What is it with old-school arcade revivals this year? First The Simpsons Arcade Game made a comeback on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, entertaining a whole new generation of gamers without the need to break out a roll of quarters. Now THQ is hitting the wrestling ring with a remake of WWE Wrestlefest, a game that originally body slammed into arcades back in '91 under Technos' direction. And just like it did back then, Wrestlefest promises to be button-mashing fun.
One of the first genre's I ever got addicted to was tower defense games, but for awhile now tower defense games have long been stale. For a long time now, the genre hasn't seen any dramatic changes, but still provided quality games for its fans. Recently, the genre has escalated to new heights thanks to advancements in smart phone technology and the integration of app marketplace. Developed by Futuremark Games Studio, Unstoppable Gorg attempts to reinvent the genre, but costly design choices ruin a potential hit.
LAS VEGAS -- Last year at CES 2011, tablets were all the rage and they used the show as their coming out party. While CES 2012 was more evolutionary versus revolutionary for tablets, they were many bright spots in the tablet world especially for gaming. We roundup the best gaming tablets and tablet technology from this year's CES in Las Vegas.
With new Android tablets on display everywhere at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) in Las Vegas, there's good news for retailers this year. Ecommerce software developer Ability Commerce has reported that its full-service clients saw an explosion in holiday revenue stemming from Android devices, as consumers bought everything from videogames to electronics in record numbers using mobile devices instead of the traditional PC. Mobile shopping overall was a huge success as retailers experienced increased visits, transactions and revenue across all of the major operating systems. The Galaxy Note tablet is shown in the video below from CES 2012, and is sure to introduce even more consonumers to mobile shopping, as well as gaming.
LAS VEGAS -- At the AT&T Developers Summit keynote being held at CES 2012, Samsung's Kevin Packingham showed its new hybrid phone/tablet device - the Galaxy Note. With a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 1.5GHz dual core processor, 8 megapixel back and 2 megapixel front camera, the new Galaxy Note is a tweener mobile device that sits in between a tablet and a smartphone. The hybrid device will support AT&T's fast new 4G LTE network as well as AT&T's legacy 3G network. It also has a stylus pen which Samsung is calling the S-Pen which will allow Galaxy Note users to input to the device using handwriting as well as do doodles when you're bored. Pricing and availabiity werre not announced.
With Amazon's entry into the burgeoning tablet market today with Jeff Bezo's introduction of the new Kindle Fire, Apple's iPad might finally have some competition. While based on Google's Android mobile and tablet operating system, Amazon's Kindle Fire differentiates itself from it's Android tablet brethren on four competitively unique features, 1) it will be sold thru the biggest e-commerce storefront in the world which has already had huge success with its Kindle e-book reader; 2) it will leverage Amazon's massive content library and licenses in books, movies and music that is bigger than even Apple's iTunes; 3) it will leverage Amazon's massive cloud ecosystem delivering new and interesting services; and 4) and perhaps the biggest differentiator, it will sell for $199 which is $300 cheaper than the cheapest Apple iPad 2. Keep in mind, the HP TouchPad, while a flop at $499, sold out in less than 24 hours when its price dropped to $99-149, even with the prospect that the WebOS it runs on would not be supported moving forward and there were very few apps for it. But what will the Kindle Fire do for gaming?
This years Comic Con San Diego is packed with dozens of hot shows, some returning and other making their debut appearance. They're coming with cast, crew, sneak peaks, and an Q&A session for fans to get their burning questions answered. Take a break from the demos at gaming booths, and stop by one of the telvision panels! With the final list online, here are just some of the shows (in no particular order) we can't wait to see at Comic Con.

not consistent 3
rebecca (mesa, AZ), 12/28/2012
The placecard holders were not all the same size, some were much shorter than the others. Some had also come free of the base and were unusable. Also, the cards they came with were useless as the top of the cross was too high and it obscured the writing. I had to cut my own cards and use those. Out of about 85 placeholders, I did not use about 6 or 7 of them because of defects.
Awesome Place Card Holders! 5
Francesca (Totowa, NJ), 3/30/2011
The cross place card holder looked great setup at the banquet hall for my sons christening. They were a big hit!
