ABC News' John R. Parkinson (@JRPabcDC) reports:
House Speaker John Boehner released a new video blog today on his website, expressing his support for the balanced budget amendment that the House of Representatives will consider next week, but Democrats are indicating their opposition to the bill they describe as "extreme and draconian."
"We need to get serious about changing the way we spend money here in Washington, and implementing long-term reforms, like the Balanced Budget Amendment, will make sure we never again face a debt crisis like we do today," Boehner said. "I'm confident the Republicans will strongly support this legislation, in both the House and the Senate. The question is whether enough of our Democratic colleagues will join us to provide the two-thirds [majority] necessary to send the balanced budget amendment to the states."
The Ohio Republican said that adoption of a balanced budget amendment would help ensure "that spending restraints are set in stone, and the certainty it provides will help create a better environment for job creation across the country."
"The House bill that we'll consider would require the government to spend only what it takes in, and would include limitations on our government's ability to raise taxes and to increase spending," he added. "I voted for a Balanced Budget Amendment in the past and I'll support it again now."
House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Whip Steny Hoyer and their top-ranked member on the budget committee Rep. Chris Van Hollen, have expressed their opposition to the amendment.
"The balanced budget constitutional amendment…is a masquerade designed to foster the policy choices of the Republican budget: to end the Medicare guarantee for seniors and slash vital services while providing tax breaks for the wealthy," Van Hollen, D-Maryland, warned in a statement. "This balanced budget amendment would have dire consequences on the economy, on Medicare and other government guarantees to our citizens, and on Congress's ability to respond to changing needs."
Pelosi agreed, telling reporters Tuesday that she is "very much opposed" to the balanced budget amendment.
"Of all the balanced budget amendment resolutions that I have seen, this is by far the worst," the California congresswoman said. "This is the Republicans' way of putting forth the Ryan budget once again, which will eliminate Medicare. It requires high percentages to increase revenue and to increase investment in our future. It's debilitating to our economy."
House Republicans are calling for the president to consider supporting the amendment as part of the deal to increase the statutory debt limit.
"Since our new majority took charge in the House, we've been committed to cutting job crushing spending, and changing the way Congress spends taxpayers' dollars," Boehner said. "I've been clear with the president that the House will not grant his request for an increase in the national debt limit without spending cuts larger than the debt limit hike and clear restraints on the future spending by our government."
The amendment would require two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate and the approval of three-fourths of the states. All 47 Senate Republicans have co-sponsored twin legislation in the Senate, although Senate Democrats are not rushing forward to support the amendment either.

Love my Dunlop 3D winter sport tires. They seem to perform really well on dry roads and were pretty good in the 2 snow days we just had in the Philly area. Got the wheel tire package from the Tire Rack. They were on my doorstep in 2 days. I went with stock size and the cheapest wheels they had. They actually look good. I like them better than my stock wheels.

Messier 15 or M15 (also designated NGC 7078) is a globular cluster in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by Jean-Dominique Maraldi in 1746 and included in Charles Messier's catalogue of comet-like objects in 1764. At an estimated 12.0 billion years old, it is one of the oldest known globular clusters.
M15 is about 33,600 light-years from Earth, and 175 light years in diameter.[9] It has an absolute magnitude of -9.2, which translates to a total luminosity of 360,000 times that of the Sun. Messier 15 is one of the most densely packed globulars known in the Milky Way galaxy. Its core has undergone a contraction known as 'core collapse' and it has a central density cusp with an enormous number of stars surrounding what may be a central black hole.[10]
Home to over 100,000 stars,[9] the cluster is notable for containing a large number of variable stars (112) and pulsars (8), including one double neutron star system, M15 C. M15 also contains Pease 1, the first planetary nebula discovered within a globular cluster[11] in 1928. Just three others have been found in globular clusters since then.[12]
Amateur astronomy[edit]
At magnitude 6.2, M15 approaches naked eye visibility under good conditions and can be observed with binoculars or a small telescope, appearing as a fuzzy star.[9] Telescopes with a larger aperture (at least 6 in./150 mm diameter) will start to reveal individual stars, the brightest of which are of magnitude +12.6. The cluster appears 18 arc minutes in size.[9]
X-ray sources[edit]
Earth-orbiting satellites Uhuru and Chandra X-ray Observatory have detected two bright X-ray sources in this cluster: Messier 15 X-1 (4U 2129+12) and Messier 15 X-2.[13][14] The former appears to be the first astronomical X-ray source detected in Pegasus.

An Angel's Mask
Hiding the tears,
Hiding the shame,
Hiding self loathing,
Hiding the pain,
Donning my mask
once again.
Behind this mask so many emotions I feel,
Never again will I share them
and express how I feel,
Buried deep they will stay,
away from all that causes me pain.
Taking off this mask was a big mistake,
All it did was cause me more misery
and pain.
Trusting people, letting them in,
only caused me to be hurt again.
So from this moment on none will see,
all of this turmoil inside of me.
I will smile in your face,
and you won't know,
the depths of the tears,
that run from my soul. '
My laughter is the screams,
that echo in my mind.
My joy is the fear,
that lurks from behind.
The twinkling gleam you see in my eyes,
are really tears I try to hide.
Up and down my emotions glide,
but never will you see this;
it is hidden inside.
Never again will this mask come off
It is safer here in the dark,
An Angel smile is what you
shall see,
Happiness and joy I will spread
to thee,
I will be there to listen
and stand by your side,
Wiping away your tears
when you need to cry,
Opening my arms
when you need a hug,
Holding you tightly
and showing much love,
I face the world
with my mask in place,
My head held high,
A smile on my face,
Never will you see what lies
inside of me.
Hiding the tears,
Hiding the shame,
Hiding self loathing,
Hiding the pain,
Hiding behind my mask
once again.

I had so much fun making this puff pastry over the weekend. The instructions were clear and easy to follow thank you sooooo much!!

I made this without the bourbon or barley malt syrup (couldn't find it anywhere!) and it still turned out great! Not overly sweet so I have been enjoying it for breakfast as well. (:

Suprisingly hearty bread!
I made this as a loaf and was surprised at how hearty it is! Great texture. I never would have though to mix beets and blueberries. The combination piqued my interest so I had to try it! The beets are a strong unique flavor, and the color of the loaf was absolutely gorgeous.

This bread is amazing! I am usually not a fan of bananas, but decided to try this recipe because the streusel looked too good. And it is! The banana is not the central flavor I think, so if you are like me and not a huge banana fan, don't let that stop you from making this! My husband and I ate half the loaf about 10 minutes after we took this out of the oven haha. It is delicious warm and at room temperature. The streusel is extra amazing warm though, so I definitely recommend trying it not long after you take it out of the oven! (We also microwaved individual slices the next day...and brought it at room temperature to work...suffice it to say this loaf did not last long haha.)

SO good
I was so excited to try this! Never had parsnips before and was intrigued by the unique idea of putting them in a cake. I was so pleased with the result! I made this cake with the easy cream cheese frosting and it was amazing!! Beautiful cake too. Definitely recommend this!!
Great recipe idea
What a great recipe idea! My husband and I really enjoyed this (made it as bread) with some blueberry preserves. (:
Non-vegans agree these are excellent!!
I brought two plates of these to a dessert party last night. I was the only vegan in the group, and didn't mention ahead of time that the cookies were vegan. The first plate was gone like THAT! When I mentioned the cookies were vegan no one could believe it! The party hosts asked if they could keep (what little remained of) the second plate. Thanks for making recipes like these that help spread the word about how great vegan cuisine and baking can be!

The BEST!
I love making bread, and as much as I hate to admit it, I will choose white bread over wheat bread the majority of the time. (: That being said, this recipe has really got me excited to start experimenting with more wheat bread recipes! I made this recipe on Sunday and was so pleased with how it turned out! I thought it tasted even better the next day. You will not be disappointed with this one! Excellent recipe.

Loved it!
Super moist! I made it yesterday morning and loved it so much I worked dinner and lunch around this bread so I could eat it at every meal. (:
Rating | 5.0 |
So good that even my non-vegan husband, who is not a big sweets person to begin with, ate half the pan last night!!! Thanks for the great recipe!

»Bella Bacino's - Chicago
A part of the renowned chain Bacino's, the Bella Bacino's in Chicago is an Italian restaurant that specializes in serving mouthwatering pizzas. However, what makes this authentic Italian restaurant unique is the signature heart healthy pizzas that are amongst the first to be certified by the Chicago Heart Association. The restaurant has an extensive selection of Italian wines that complement your meal. Call for more information.
Located at the upscale Hotel 71, Hoyt's offers you Midwestern cuisine along with fantastic views of the Chicago River. Patrons at this restaurant are not restricted to guests at the hotel; the food and atmosphere attract outsiders as well. The breakfast menu features pancakes, cereals, fresh fruits and baked items, in addition to house specialties like Atlantic smoked salmon and egg-white frittata. You can start lunch or dinner with Tavern chips and dip and fried cheese curds before moving on to the Hoyt's burger or spiced roasted lamb leg reuben. There are also some great shared plates of PEI blue mussels, lamb lollipops and diver scallops. The restaurant uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients, ensuring an ever-changing menu. There are beers, wines and cocktails on offer as well.
»Morton's, The Steakhouse - Chicago - Wacker Place
This upscale eatery serves up some of the best steaks in the city. Porterhouse, Double Porterhouse, Double Cut Filet Mignon, New York Strip - it all features on the menu and you can whet your appetite beforehand with the seafood appetizers, such as Lobster Bisque, Bluepoint Oysters on the Half Shell and Smoked Pacific Salmon. Among the desserts, your best choice would be the sinfully indulgent Chocolate Velvet Cake - it will prepare you for the toll that dining here takes on your wallet!
»Sweetwater Tavern and Grille
A casual dining establishment located close to attractions like Millennium Park and Tribune Tower, Sweetwater Taven & Grill serves delicious American cuisine.

The Sweetwater, with its Swiss cheese, avocado and bacon, and the Sunnyside Up, comprising caramelized onions, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, bacon, fried egg and steak sauce are two of the mouthwatering burgers you can sample. The entrée list includes the likes of tortilla encrusted red snapper and parmesan crusted tilapia. Sweet bites like the peanut butter Snickers pie and baked cookie dough leave you wanting more.
This family-style restaurant celebrates old American favorites at a moderate price (certified Angus steaks with mashed potatoes and healthy, fresh salads) and offers new dining traditions (creative pasta dishes and scrumptious desserts) in a relaxing atmosphere overlooking Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River. Three saltwater aquariums keep the kids entertained, and ten televisions keep the guys from missing professional games.

South Water Kitchen's proximity to the Theatre District is the prime reason for its success. The American menu offers items, such as Grilled Iowa Pork Loin with peaches, Kansas City Barbecued Beef Brisket with maple-bacon baked beans and garlic, and Rosemary Chicken Breast. While huge rectangular mirrors adorn the walls, the wooden flooring gives the ambience a certain warmth. Then, there are the T.V. Dinners - for every specific day of the week, a specialty is served. Mom's Ketchup Glazed Meatloaf on Mondays, Roasted Pork Loin on Wednesdays and so on and so forth. The dessert menu provides for the perfect end to a hearty meal.
»Salvador's Barro
This Mexican restaurant is a popular after-work getaway for the city's downtown crowd. The quesadillas, burritos, fajitas and tacos are plentiful, as are the Coronas and margaritas. Order one of Salvador's 45-ounce margaritas, and you will receive a free sombrero (the hat, not the drink). Finish the cocktail, and you won't care how silly the sombrero looks on you. Just be aware that like most Mexican restaurants, the drinks are usually more expensive than the food. The Chicken Taco, Carne Asada and Mondo-Margarita are recommended.
»Hard Drive
If you're looking for a bit of LA in Chicago, then this trendy club is the place to get down and get dirty. Located at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, it's as downtown as you can get. As you enter, you will be plunged into a technological fantasy with eight plasma screens that show over 7,000 music videos in a night. Leap onto the dance floor, which is illuminated by a huge glass globe, spurting out rays of light. Each weekend, the club opens its doors to fashion shows and local celebrities and they don't close till 5a, so you can get down to it into the wee hours!
»Stetson's Chop House and Bar
If you are in the mood for some steaks, then Stetson's is your best bet. The restaurant is situated in the classy Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and surely keeps up to its standards.

The past week you would have thought we were living in two different states. North of the Gnat Line, it seemed like Siberia. Even possums and yard dogs were hugging each other trying to stay warm. South of the line, folks assumed that God was punishing North Georgia for having taken most of the political power in the last election.
Dear Editor: I have been following the Bryan County News reports since November about the new bullying policy adopted by the Bryan County Board if Education in accordance with the Georgia law passed in May of 2010.
If you are a veteran or the widow(er) of a veteran, you may be entitled to collect $1,000 to $2,000 tax-free per month that you earned through service to our country. Many Bryan County residents, like most veterans nationwide, are still unaware of the aid and attendance benefit available through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Designed to help pay for health-care, this benefit can be a lifesaver if you are facing the challenge of paying spiraling costs while maintaining your quality of life.
Editor's note: State Sen. Buddy Carter, R- Pooler, will periodically provide written updates during the legislative session, which began Jan. 10 and is expected to last until the latter days of March.
Almost instantaneously the horrific shooting in Tucson, Ariz., became the occasion for partisan hatred.

It sneaks up on you, your love for this place. You're assigned this duty station, so you pack up all your bags, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. You arrive in the heart of the summer, and your lungs feel like the humidity just might kill you. You have no friends, no family, no job and no school. Then it happens.
When the state of Georgia arrested four Final Exit Network volunteers, it accused them and our group, which advocates for the right to die with dignity, of assisting in suicides. In doing so, it drew attention to a Georgia law that violates the First Amendment right to free speech - and now FEN has brought an action in U.S. District Court to defend its rights.
Year 2010 was not the year of the Georgia Bulldogs football team. Coach Mark Richt's team just could not seem to get anything right in 2010.
To Nicholas Wansley and Brian and Thomas Yarbrough:
The General Assembly gathers in Atlanta this week facing a deficit of more than $1 billion. Across-the-board budget cuts are no longer sufficient to bridge the budget gap. Georgia needs more innovative, transformative ideas.
The sun was shining Saturday on Coastal Georgia - just at it was on Tucson, Ariz. But instead of going down in history as just another unremarkable day, Jan. 8, 2011, will live forever in this country as a day of terrible tragedy.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was inaugurated to lead a state mired in hard times. The hopes of almost 10 million Georgians for better things are now his burden, his responsibility and his opportunity. There could hardly be a better way to begin a new era, or to dispel the ethics cloud that hung over his head as a candidate, than for this governor to take the lead in real ethics and accountability reform in state government. The token gestures to come from the Capitol of late have been feeble and suggest that Republican rule has so far been no improvement ...

Twelve years ago, I made a decision to follow my head, not my heart, and put my career first. I'd just completed my first post-college internship at the Abilene Reporter-News in Texas and, having impressed my supervisor, was offered full-time employment at the end of my three-month stint.
Editor, On Dec. 16, 1773, demonstrators destroyed an entire shipment of tea in the Boston Harbor in protest of taxation without representation. Today, we have ultra-taxation with representation. At the rate that we are going, we will just sign over our employment checks and accept the spending money that our government gives us.
If you watched the Super Bowl a couple of weeks ago - and reports say that 114 million of us did - perhaps you saw a portion of the reprehensible behavior of Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin who, after scoring a touchdown, proceeded to mime pulling down his pants and squatting as if on a commode, before dropping the ball to the ground as if using the restroom. The NFL fined Baldwin $11,000, which has to be chump change to this boor. Astonishingly, the incident has gotten very little mention in the media. You can bet this kind of obscene showboating ...
The Georgia Senate had a busy week. We held numerous committee meetings to review legislation and listen to testimony either opposing or supporting bills being considered. The committee process is where the bills are vetted before being considered by the Senate, and it is a crucial part of the legislative process.

Ryan rolled over his mattress, letting one arm snake to the other side of the bed. Sensing the absence of a familiar form, he opened his eyes to find that Rylie was not lying next to him. He lifted his head to see if she was anywhere in their bedroom, but there was no sign of her. The cat-shaped clock on their wall read 10a.m. Ryan woke up with a start when he saw the time; he rarely slept in.
"Ryle?" He groaned her name. Ryan could feel the muscles in his body ached from just pulling himself to sit on the bed. Missions rarely left him unscathed. Even if he came home injury-free, his tired body strained from the rigorous work he had undergone. It was pleasant to watch his wife being overwhelmed with joy that he did not need any bandages, but it did not deter her from giving him a physical check-up. Rylie sighed knowingly when she found the two bruises; one on his left shoulder, the other on his knee. Not wanting to hear her doleful concern, Ryan caressed her cheek and told her that he would be fine as long as she was around. After he rolled her slowly onto their bed well it's enough to say that they had a satiating night.
"Ryle," Ryan called out her name hoarsely, but not much louder than before. He stood up from the bed and noticed that Rylie had set up a breakfast tray on their square walnut table set for two, a romantic piece of furniture that was given by Nicky and Dawn as their wedding gift. The tray was laden with homemade Danish and a mug of coffee that was getting cold.
Ignoring the food, Ryan put on a pair of pants and headed outside of his bedroom. The house felt empty, even though it was alive with plenty of personal touches since their purchase two months ago. As Ryan went through rooms to find Rylie, he could not help but admired the effort she had gone through to make the house feel like home. Their achievements and small mementos were placed strategically in different corners of each room, and the the recently painted guestroom still reeked of the nights Ryan and Rylie spent online choosing colors - mainly Rylie describing each hue, and Ryan nodding away. Ryan made a mental note to appear more helpful next time.
A sudden noise coming from the guest bathroom startled Ryan's thoughts. He walked towards it to knock, but the door had slowly begun to slide open.
"Ryle?" Ryan was surprised to find her sitting on the bathroom floor, her back against the wall. When she saw him, she hurriedly stood up and pushed her ponytail behind her shoulders.
"Ryan - oh!" Rylie almost stumbled on her own feet, but Ryan caught her sides and steadied her. She shook him off. "How long have been in here? Did you hear anything?"
Ryan was caught by surprise. "That you flushed after using the restroom?"
"Nevermind then. When did you wake up?"
"Just now." He looked at Ryle in confusion. She appeared pale, with beads of sweat clinging to her dewy forehead. "Ryle, what's wrong?"
Rylie sighed. "I'm a little ill - I've been throwing up this morning. It's been so irritating." She pulled a bottle from the sink and drank some water.
"Why are you sick? Are you - " Ryan paused for a little. "Are we - ?"
Rylie looked at him oddly. "What? What are you - oh! Oooh, no - I'm sorry - no it's not, I'm not, pregnant or anything." Rylie felt herself blushed hopelessly. "It's just indigestion, I had a really heavy breakfast really quickly at the hospital this morning and - that's that."
Ryan felt a wave of both relief and disappointment swept over him, but he said no more about the subject. "Well, are you feeling better?"
"No, it's actually been getting worse. I was about to grab my kit in our bathroom -"
"You should have woken me up."
"I didn't want to. I can tell you haven't gotten enough sleep, so I snuck in here to do my business -"
"I still should have been told -"
"-and I gave you a sleeping pill last night."
Ryan paused. "You did?"
"Yeah, don't get mad or anything. I know you hardly get enough rest at work with Zack on your back."
Ryan didn't know how to defy her when she knew the truth. "Why didn't you use our restroom? All your meds are there."
"I'm about to go, I can already feel the nausea at the back of my throat.." Before Rylie could finish what she said, Ryan had lifted her up and carried her through the halls of their house. Rylie made a sound close to a giggle. "This would be more romantic if I do not feel like I need to puke all the time."
Ryan smiled gently at her and lowered her on their bed. "I'll get you a bag, and your kit."
"Thanks sweetie," Rylie sat up and leaned her head against the headboard. "Look inside the med cabinet, can you get me the bottle that says metoclopramide on it?"
It took some time for Ryan to finally manage to read through the small print on each generic-branded bottles to find what Rylie wanted. He brought the small vial of clear liquid along with Rylie's kit box next to the bed.
"'bout time," Rylie said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Sorry, the nausea is getting worse. I need to find -" Rylie fumbled through her kit and took out a small drawer containing syringes. She chose a small one and pick out a needle that was still in sterile packaging.
"Okay," Rylie said to Ryan, "Wear gloves and put the syringe with the needle, carefully." Ryan awkwardly did as he was told as Rylie prepared an alcohol swab. "Done? Alright, suck out 3 cc from the vial."
"Come again?"
"I'll do it. Can you get me a tourniquet from the kit?" Rylie put on gloves and took the syringe from Ryan. She jabbed the needle through the rubber lid of the vial and took up a measured amount.
"What's a 'turnicate'?" Ryan interrupted her.
Rylie was tapping the syringe gently to let out bubbles. "It's a, mm - just find a large rubber band in there." When Ryan handed her what she needed, Rylie strapped it on her lower arm tightly. She took the alcohol swab and spread it on the crook of her arm. Rylie then carefully inserted the needle into a visible vein, pulling out a little blood before pushing the contents in. When she finished, she taped the alcohol swab over the area of injection and released the rubber band from her arm.
"That's a tourniquet." Rylie said, holding it up. "It's to temporarily block blood from flowing so I can find a vein."
Ryan shook his head mockingly. "What can I do without you?"
"Well," Rylie said, smiling slightly, as she tidied up the area. "You can go to the hospital. I believe that's what normal people do." She added teasingly.
"Why didn't we go then?"
"Oh, it's quicker here, since I have all the stuff. Plus, I told the hospital we're on an abroad vacation." She added with a smirk.
Ryan raised an eyebrow.
"I had to do it," Rylie answered the unvocalized question. "I wanted four days with a real excuse for them not to call me." Rylie could see Ryan's eyes crinkled in amusement.
"How are you feeling now?" he said.
"It's getting better, slowly. I don't like injecting myself. Makes me feel like I'm shooting up."
Ryan chuckled silently. There was something attractive about her luminescent spirit that Ryan would never tire of. Silently, he reached forward to caress her pale cheek. "I think you need some rest."
Rylie grinned. "What exactly are you implying?" Rylie asked playfully as she moved furtively into their bed.
"I'll cook for us."
"Oh." Rylie felt her insides lurching at the thought. "Sweetie, as thoughtful as that is, I'm not in the mood. The last time I ate, it got me here."
"You always cook for me."
"Yeah, that's how I distract you from your broken bones. I need something else." Rylie smiled and pulled his hand towards her.
Ryan acquiesced at the request. He gently brought himself next to her and wrapped one arm around her waist. They immediately leaned against each other, and Ryan felt his stubble grazed over Rylie's damp forehead. He kissed her long, light-colored hair. "I'm sorry you're sick." He murmured.
"Don't be, I'm already feeling better," Rylie said, snuggling closer to Ryan. "Its nice to have you looking after me."
"I'm only doing what you asked me to."
"You're still a huge help; it feels worse when I'm alone."
Ryan felt a pang of disappointment. He pulled Rylie's warm body closer towards his. After a few minutes of silence, Rylie looked up to see Ryan staring into a distant corner. "You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah," Ryan nodded and looked back into her avid sky-blue eyes. "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"
Ten minutes later, with a movie turned on and enough water to keep hydrating Rylie for the next five hours, the two sat on their bed, Ryan's arms wrapped around his wife. As they watched the movie together, Ryan's mind was elsewhere. He silently vowed to fulfill his promise to Rylie that he made sometime ago: to change their lives so they could finally lived as a normal married couple. It was time.

Wherever the grandkids are, the grandparents follow.
This is not a-typical. MySpace has been primarily women over 35 since 2005, and 11% of members there are senior citizens.
Who has the highest disposable income, most free time and greatest need to connect with family and friends at a distance? Particularly keeping uptodate with young members who don't come to visit enough? Grandparents.
I know a few people who have connected their mothers (in their 70's) to Twitter. It just takes time for the older generation to find out where the photos are being uploaded, lives being discussed, and they want in.
Women over 55 take Facebook by storm
The number of US women over age 55 using Facebook grew by 175.3% since September 2008, making mature females one of the fastest growing demographic groups on the social network, according to usage statistics released by independent blog Inside Facebook.
The number of men over age 55 also grew dramatically during the same four-month period (up 137.8%), but women over 55 still outnumber men in this age group by almost two-to-one.
Key Facebook stats as of Feb. 1, 2009, from Inside Facebook:
- There are 45.3 million active US Facebook users.
- The number of Facebook users are growing in every age/gender demographic.
- Facebook use among women is growing faster than among men in nearly every age group.
- The fastest growing age group by total users is 26-34-year-olds; 45% of Facebook's US audience is now 26 years old or older.
Older Users Fuel US Audience Growth
Facebook's US audience has continued to grow in recent months, fueled primarily by those ages 26+, said Inside Facebook. In particular, the network has rapidly gained popularity in the US with people 45+, growing by more than 165% among both men and women in the last four months.
I can't wait until I'm retired and can spend all day lolling around on social networks and online communities. Um hang on… I already do that.

Its really great news for me about facebook users.
care's last blog post..Grandparents… a blessing
[…] United States are aged 50 and above. The shift in age demographics has allowed for this, I think- go ahead and post on your Facebook status that older women aren't sexy, I dare ya to. […]
Being a senior citizen,i'm more interested to interact with people of same age group with similar interests & concerns.
[…] in age demographics has forced open doors that had been nailed pretty tightly shut before, I think- go ahead and post on your Facebook status that older women aren't sexy, I dare ya to. […]

Los Quetzales Lodge & Spa, Volcan Baru National Park
Editor's Pick
Tel: 507 771 2182
Tel: 507 771 2291
Concierge.com's insider take:
The highest-altitude lodgings in Panama—7,200 feet above sea level, to be exact—are this property's five private duplex chalets. These are set on a mountainside in a spectacular 700-acre rain forest preserve—part of the larger Volcán Barú National Park, near the Costa Rican border. Each chalet sleeps between four and ten people, and has log-cabin-style walls, rustic furnishings, a full kitchen, and many windows and skylights for enjoying the greenery outside. If you'd rather be near, rather than in, the mountains, the hotel also has a complex with rooms, suites, and dorms on a riverbank in Guadalupe; the trek from the complex to the private chalets takes 30 minutes on foot, 15 minutes on horseback, or 20 minutes in a four-wheel-drive vehicle provided by the hotel. The whole point of coming here is getting into nature, and the hotel obliges with an array of guided hiking, horseback and whitewater rafting tours.

SXSW 2013 Music Keynote: Dave Grohl
Foo Fighter follows up 2012 keynote speaker Bruce Springsteen
Raoul Hernandez, 12:31pm, Fri. Nov. 16, 2012
How does a music festival encore netting Bruce Springsteen as its keynote speaker as South by Southwest did in March? They score an equally everyman rocker beloved for both Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl's confirmed as the Master of Ceremonies for March madness 2013, doing the keynote honors Thursday, Mar. 14, at the Austin Convention Center.
Here's a few recent Grohl sightings, beginning with an unauthorized biography from earlier this year, This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl.
There's also last year's not-so-secret SXSW Stubb's performance that followed the film conference's premiere of documentary Foo Fighters: Back and Forth.
And how about the Grohl-anchored Them Crooked Vultures at the 2009 Austin City Limits Music Festival, or the Foo Fighters headlining ACL in 2008?
No word if Grohl will perform or who with, but then again, the drummer/guitarist/screamer isn't one to be kept from playing is he?

Crash Course's goal is to provide entertaining, high quality, education to the entire world for free...no big.
Hank and John Green have been making online video since 2007 and now have over 1500 videos on YouTube between them that, combined, have been viewed more than 500,000,000 times.
In 2011, when YouTube asked the brothers what they'd do with a grant from Google, they decided to go with their strengths and create a series of videos teaching high school and college-level courses for free on YouTube.
Almost two years later, they've taught world history, American history, literature, ecology, biology, and chemistry. Also, the Google money is running out. Google's goal was to create self-sustaining content and, well, it turns out complicated videos about the Mongol empire or chemical bonding models don't tend to go viral.
Self-sustaining tends to mean "gets so many views that the content pays for itself with ads." Our hope is that there's another model, and that Crash Course can exist because people want it to. And they want it bad enough that they'll pay to support it.

Throwing light on her recent photo shoot, Heidi Klum posted her nude picture on twitter and tweeted, "I had another fun photo shoot for Astor celebrating color!"
The supermodel, who split from her seven year long husband and singer Seal, has been very comfortable shedding clothes since their split. In March, Heidi Klum posed nude for Allure magazine.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Heidi Klum said, "I'm determined to mark our wedding every year with a really great party. We all work very hard and time goes by so fast and you can stumble over years without symbolic peaks in your life to remember — so we create those."
Since her breakup with Seal, Klum was spotted getting tattoo done on her and partying hard.

Imagination reveals key elements of its new MIPS CPU roadmap
MIPS Aptiv generation updated; new 32/64-bit MIPS Warrior generation added to roadmap
London, UK 26 June, 2013 Imagination Technologies (IMG.L), a leading multimedia, processor, communications and cloud technologies company, announces new details about its current and future MIPS CPU portfolio.
Imagination has updated its current portfolio of MIPS Aptiv cores, extending each of the Aptiv families with new core configurations. In addition, later this year Imagination will start rolling out an entire generation of new MIPS CPUs, including 32-bit and 64-bit cores. The new MIPS Series5 generation of CPU cores, codenamed Warrior, will incorporate new architectural features and provide best-in-class performance and efficiency for a wide range of applications.
New in MIPS Aptiv
Imagination has extended the award-winning MIPS Aptiv generation of cores, adding a very small-footprint single-core version to the interAptiv family and a floating point version to the microAptiv family. The high-performance proAptiv, multi-threaded interAptiv and compact microAptiv families of cores, are all available in refined, validated configurations offering industry-leading low power and efficiency for todays designs.
- The proAptiv family comes in configurations from single through to six-core versions with optional hardware floating point.
- The interAptiv family includes hardware multi-threading and now comes in single-, dual- and quad-core configurations with optional floating point. The new single-core version of interAptiv removes the extra logic associated with multi-core coherency and L2 cache controller, providing a highly-efficient, multi-threaded single-core processor.
- The microAptiv family is available in versions targeting microcontrollers and deeply embedded processors, and now incorporates an optional hardware floating point unit for applications including electric metering and motor control.
MIPS Roadmap
Imagination will introduce next-generation MIPS Warrior cores later this year. Details of the cores are already being shared with key MIPS customers.
The Warrior generation of cores will include 32-bit and 64-bit variants with a focus on superior performance efficiency across the high-end, mid-range and entry-level/microcontroller CPUs. These cores are based on the heritage of MIPS, the industrys most efficient RISC architecture, targeted to deliver the best performance and lowest power consumption in a given silicon area.
Building on the true 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set compatibility of MIPS, Warrior cores will provide binary compatibility from the entry-level to the high-end. 64-bit Warrior cores have no need for excess baggage to execute legacy 32-bit code, and the broad range of tools and applications built for the 64-bit MIPS architecture over the past 20+ years will seamlessly work with Warrior cores.
Key Warrior features will include:
- Hardware virtualization across the entire range of cores, providing compelling benefits for applications from compute-intense enterprise environments to energy efficient mobile platforms
- MIPS hardware multi-threading technology, enabling better overall throughput, quality of service (QoS), and power/performance efficiency in select Warrior cores
- Imaginations unique, extensible and highly scalable security framework for applications including content protection on mobile devices, secure networking protocols and payment services
- MIPS SIMD architecture (MSA), built on instructions designed to be easily supported within high-level languages such as C or OpenCL for fast and simple development of new code, as well as leverage of existing code
- A consistent and comprehensive toolchain across the Warrior series for fast, easy development and debugging
MIPS the choice in CPU IP
Hossein Yassaie, CEO, Imagination, says: The industry is longing for a choice in the CPU market, and we are making MIPS a clear and superior alternative. We have an outstanding range of cores available today and that will be complemented by our forthcoming Warrior cores, which will provide levels of performance, efficiency and functionality that go beyond other offerings in the market.
As we share Imaginations comprehensive, market-leading MIPS core roadmap with customers worldwide, we are receiving an overwhelmingly positive response. With MIPS, we are creating a solution that a wide range of customers can benefit from and commit to for the long term, across applications ranging from tiny embedded devices to 64-bit many-core products for networking and beyond. We are confident that as we roll out the technologies on our MIPS roadmap, we will change the landscape for CPU IP.
Says J. Scott Gardner, senior analyst, The Linley Group / Microprocessor Report: The MIPS Aptiv CPU core portfolio was named the Best Processor IP of 2012 in The Linley Groups annual Analysts Choice Awards, as a broad portfolio spanning virtually every processor category. The MIPS Warrior generation is designed to include an even greater range of functionality to address rapidly changing markets. If Imagination does as great a job with the new MIPS generation as it has done with PowerVR GPUs, then the industry will have another strong player in the CPU IP space.
Since completing the MIPS acquisition earlier this year, Imagination has completed integration of its CPU engineering teams, nearly doubling the resources working on leading-edge MIPS CPU development. The company is deploying significant investments in MIPS development, including tools, compilers, debuggers, operating systems, software and more. Imagination is developing the MIPS presence in key segments such as mobile by continuing to grow the MIPS ecosystem, and by exploiting open operating systems and emerging trends toward architecture neutrality and portability.
About MIPS processors
Imaginations family of MIPS processors are ideal for products where ultra low-power, compact silicon area and a high level of integration are required. MIPS processor IP cores and architectures range from ultra-low power 32-bit microcontrollers to scalable 32-bit and 64-bit multi-core solutions for advanced application and network processing platforms.
Based on a heritage built and continuously innovated over more than three decades, Imaginations MIPS architecture is the industrys most efficient RISC architecture, delivering the best performance and lowest power consumption in a given silicon area. SoC designers can use this efficiency advantage for significant cost and power savings, or to implement additional cores to deliver a performance advantage in the same power, thermal and area budget.

Hey Guys I just picked up udyr because i've seen him do work on the treeline and i cant figure out the build or the skilling order at all little help plz?
Senior Member
Step 1: Doran's Shield / Blade. Step 2: Gank people. Step 2a: Boots of some sort, preferably Beserkers, unless you can hard counter 2/3 of their team with Ninja Tabi / Merc Treads. Step 3: Sheen. Step 4: Gank people some more. Don't forget to farm the neutrals for buffs. Movespeed and Lizard slow = easy mode ganks. Step 5: Zeal / Phage -> Triforce. Phage first if you feel you are too squishy, Zeal if not. Step 6: Go forth and wreck people some more. Step 7: Some other DPS item, Black Cleaver, Bloodthirster, etc are all good. Always play conservatively, since you are melee DPS you don't want to tank if you don't have to, and you have a hard time getting into the fight first and then getting away. Skills Turtle, Bear, Turtle, Tiger, Turtle, Tiger, repeat until turtle and tiger are maxed. Only use bear to stun iniate and to chase/escape. Other than that you should be popping Turtles for bursts, and Tigers for DPS.
No No No, Ur right with how you build but never never never take tiger till the very end, you always want pheonix instead of tiger bear TUrtle Peonix in priority
Because of sheen's massive improvement to Udyr's mana pool, taking a point in Tiger (maxing it later), is a good setup actually. Bear/Turtle maxing is good defensive Udyr though, as it is often your place to rush into melee and tank the enemy team. Sometimes I can get away with DPS, other times I am the main target consistently. Really though, playing Udyr on TT is very much about intuition. I've been Aura holder, tank, DPS, pusher, etc and every game's different. The better your understanding of your own powers and the enemies powers, the better your choices will be about builds and items.
Lord Bro
There's 2 discussions that went on recently. Go to advanced search for "Udyr" in the subject line of the Guides sub-forum and you'll find the two of them. Re: Tiger stance, don't waste your time -- the active DoT is broken. Level Turtle/Bear/Phoenix instead, and only grab Tiger past level 15 for popping turrets/inhibitors. And even against those, Phoenix is better because the AoE serves to wipe out the enemy team's minions that inevitably are approaching as you tank their turret. Also I agree w/ the poster just above me -- Udyr is very versatile and your build should be changing a lot depending on the enemy team. Mostly casters? Wit's End + Force of Nature perhaps. Mostly heavy meleers? Maybe you want Warden's, Thornmail, or a Black Cleaver. Mundo? Get the Execut. to hurt his regen... but typically, early-game, I always build Berseker's Shoes first, then a Sheen at minimum. Skill wise, it's dynamic also. Say their entire team is heavily pushing 1 lane, well, jack up Turtle so you can shield for low mana cost and last hit minions to regenerate and get gold. If your team is owning and crushing the enemy early on, jack up Bear so you can chase them down better for low mana cost... if you're jungling and they're too dumb to gank you, get Turtle/Phoenix so you can drop Lizard and Dragon early on your own...

The cable
The prostitutes everywhere and working in the parking lot
Nothing was good. The hotel smelled of smoking, took 45 minutes to walk to from the convention venue and had prostitutes all around.
Everythingwas bad. The facility smelled of smoking and there were prostitutes all around the facility.
Receptionist was very kind.
The doors don't even latch it's all for show. The only thing latching your door is a homade deadbolt not plated or anything. Scary to have my kids there even just for 30 min!
Nothing really
First room had a cockroach in it and we were able to switch rooms to our horror this room was just as dirty as the first If your not spending time in the room it's what you pay for But please bring your own sheets and pillows and throw them away when you leave. Place left me feeling like I was unclean Oh and the loud music at 2 am didn't help either due to shady characters hanging around and the locals bumming cigarettes from us wasn't too pleasant
Frig and microwave.
WiFi is just about useless. I switched to a Sprint dongle.
It was within a low budget
The room smelled like cigarites really bad. The floor was dirty. The staff wasn't that friendly.
The location is very close to highway if you just only pass by Las Vegas, it would be a good choice
Honestly speaking, the couch and bed sheet looks a little bit dirty, the WIFI is kind of slow.
Friendly staff ,location is great !
Great price Great location Great people
I had to live with a clogged up toilet during my stay, which was not an ideal situation.
Close to stuff. Staff helpful. Will stay longer next time. Very comfortable and nice
Most of the staff was friendly, but the policies they have to abide by sucks.
No room service on weekends, in order to receive clean towels, guest have to walk to front office with dirty towels with other guest there to check in
Location. Relatively not expensive.
Free WiFi almost not working. Dirty buth and leaking tap.
Microwave & min fridge
Shower did not have hot water. Ants in kitchen/bathroom area. Stained sofa. Room was cramped. Furniture was too close together. Two lamps and clock did not work in the room. Hotel door didn't close very well.
illegal activity in the parking lot on both nights of our stay... security needs to be monitored for sure
Location - close to Strip and restaurants. Facilities - nothing fancy, but quite comfortable, good value for money, onsite laundry very convenient. Staff - very friendly and accommodating.
The low prices mean they sometimes attract less-than-sophisticated guests. There were several times where the neighbors had loud 'discussions' on the walkway outside their room...at 2am The last day of my stay, a police car pulled into the parking lot.
Close to airport so taxi ride was under $15.00. Room looked clean but dated. I wanted a cheap room for the night and I got it. I wasn't expecting anything fancy but the cockroaches I saw made me regret my motel choice that was based on price.
Saw several cockroaches in the morning. No bedspread on bed. Had only a deadbolt lock into the spongy wood door jamb-no extra metal reinforcement for outside door. No chain lock or extra locking device for outside door.
The location of this hotel is excellent for the pleasure.
The bathroom is very small. And the check in process time was so long.
