Helping Young People Help ThemselvesPosted byon September 26, 2014 at 11:32 AM EDT
Shana Runck is being honored as a Latino Educator Champion of Change.
Over the course of my career, I would have never expected that my hard work and dedication to giving back to the community would lead me to being named a White House Champion of Change. As a New Mexico native and long-time educator, I have always had a passion to help at-risk Latino youth and to provide them with skills necessary for a successful transition into college and future employment. I am honored that I've been given an opportunity to make a difference in my local community, and I am grateful to receive this national recognition on behalf of New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union for the programs we have worked so hard to develop.
One of the main programs I'm involved with, Running Start for Careers, allows high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to earn dual-credit hours toward graduation while gaining valuable work skills and on-the-job training. The course focuses on careers in the financial services industry from tellers and loan officers to marketing and human resources. Students who complete the course have the opportunity to interview for an internship at the Credit Union, where they can earn high school and college credit, an hourly paid wage, and a valuable work experience in a career they are passionate about.
I also helped create the financial capabilities program at New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union. Educational institutions, business, and non-profits utilize the program to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to effectively manage their finances. The financial capabilities program is scalable to provide an 18-module curriculum, individual financial workshops, and topic-specific training, and it is the only model aligned with New Mexico's Common Core State Standards. I work closely with each of our partner institutions to adapt the curriculum to reflect their particular goals, ensuring that we provide an effective resource for our partners.
It is a rewarding to know that my work within the local community has inspired students to pursue education and job training in fields that interest them and to learn foundational financial skills. In a state with high poverty rates, low youth employment, and high student dropout rates, I am grateful that New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union has given me a platform to make a difference in increasing high school graduation rates among Latino youth and providing them with employment opportunities. It is an honor to be named a White House Champion of Change among other inspiring individuals from all across this great nation.

Nominate a White House Champion of Change for Strengthening the Economy through CitizenshipPosted byon September 19, 2014 at 1:58 PM EDT
All across the United States, immigrant workers make up the backbone of many small, large, and emerging businesses. Immigrant workers bring their skills and talent to the broader American workforce, and many businesses understand that by investing in their immigrant workforce they are also investing in their overall productivity. Our country is stronger and our businesses are stronger when everyone has a stake. As a result, some businesses have begun providing assistance to qualified employees with the citizenship process. Citizenship offers individuals the chance to become full participants in the American workforce, helping to improve the economy and their communities.
We would like to recognize these efforts so today, we're asking you to help us identify and honor these leaders who are strengthening their businesses and the workforce by helping immigrants through the citizenship process. These extraordinary leaders will be invited to the White House to celebrate their accomplishments and showcase their actions to amplify the lesson that helping immigrant workers become citizens is not just compassionate but also good business. Please nominate a Champion of Change by midnight on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Nominees may include the following types of individuals:
- Small business owners who provide civic lessons and workshops to employees.
- Managers within large or medium-sized businesses who provide English language lessons to employees.
- Company owners who provide citizenship information to employees.
- Labor Unions working with employers to provide access to citizenship services.
Click on the link below to submit your nomination (be sure to choose Strengthening the Economy through Citizenship in the "Theme of Service" field of the nomination form).
Nominate a Strengthening the Economy through Citizenship Champion of Change
We are looking forward to hosting this event and to highlighting the incredible work that businesses across the country are doing to strengthen our workforce, economy, and country.

A Journey into the UnknownPosted byon September 15, 2014 at 5:54 PM EDT
Frank Lowe is being honored as a Individual and Community Preparedness Champion of Change.
While it is an honor to be named a Champion of Change, I know that this would not be possible without the effort and contribution of so many who have supported me.
After I retired from my first career, I knew I needed to find a way to be useful to my community. Fortunately, the New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) was looking for someone to focus on the senior population of the city and hired me as a consultant. Faced with the task of effectively reaching out to over a million seniors, it didn't take long for me to realize this was not a one man job. Fortunately, there were so many others who were eager to offer advice and help in preparing seniors to respond to emergencies.
Six years ago, I was added to the staff at OEM as Senior Outreach Specialist. In this position, I was able to implement some of the things I had after engaging seniors and giving presentations on emergency preparedness in all the five boroughs. This one-on-one contact taught me that, while many were reading our brochures on making emergency plans, few had actually followed the advice offered in those brochures. While discussing this problem with my colleagues, I proposed an interactive workbook to guide seniors through the process of preparing for emergencies and disasters. After a year and a half of research and development, MY EMERGENCY PLAN was born. MY EMERGENCY PLAN is an emergency preparedness workbook, and it has proven to be incredibly popular not only with the seniors but also with other age groups. It has become our flagship emergency preparedness guide and is now available in print in 13 languages and online in 22 languages.
Yet, I knew that there were still populations that MY EMERGENCY PLAN wasn't reaching, particularly those confined to their homes and those who cannot see. To reach out to the homebound, I engaged the Visiting Nurse Service of New York and Meals on Wheels, and they helped distribute 17,000 copies of our brochure. As for the blind, we recorded each of our guides and distributed them on tapes and CDs to organizations that work directly with this constituency, such as Lighthouse, the Helen Keller Institute, Jewish Guild for the Blind, and Visions. The work to prepare our communities never ends, and there will be challenges on this ongoing journey. But each challenge proves to us that there is much more to learn—and much more to do.

All Hands on Deck! Innovation and Engagement in Mississippi's Youth Preparedness through MyPIPosted byon September 15, 2014 at 5:51 PM EDT
Ryan Akers is being honored as a Individual and Community Preparedness Champion of Change.
As a member of the faculty at the Mississippi State University Extension Service (MSU-ES), I am able to unite two passions of mine: emergency preparedness and the mentoring of youth. This position has provided me with abundant opportunities to enhance emergency preparedness across the state of Mississippi, addressing areas ripe for improvement and engaging individuals, families, and communities in emergency preparedness. My research background centers on college and university emergency management and the effects of trauma on college students, so I set my sights on youth preparedness research, program development, and advocacy.
The Mississippi Youth Preparedness Initiative (MyPI) is a comprehensive teen-centric preparedness program. It is different from other programs across the country because it has a curriculum, leadership and service opportunities, and career planning services, allowing for enhanced preparedness levels for approximately 25,000 families each year.
At the end of the 20th century, approximately 66.5 million children were affected annually by disasters. To prepare for natural disasters, we need a more informed population, including our youth, and a focus on roles youth can play in emergency preparedness. At MyPI, we believe that teens can play an important role in preparing our communities for disasters. In recent years, we have experienced the destructive forces of tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding. We are keenly aware of the destructive powers of Mother Nature, but preparedness is still lacking, especially in our rural communities. The MSU-ES and Mississippi Citizen Corps created a dynamic partnership to address these shortfalls through outreach.
The DHS/FEMA-approved Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training provides us with foundational knowledge in our curriculum. One unique aspect of MyPI is the addition of CPR/AED certification, a technology track, and a career track, which allows our students to gain specialization in their area of interest. The technology track includes awareness programs for HAM radio, NOAA weather radio, smart phone apps and social media, and smoke alarms. The National Weather Service also provides extreme weather awareness programming, and Mississippi Citizen Corps provides a disaster simulation. The career track focuses on emergency management, fire service, and public safety. Individuals from each local agency explain the field, entry requirements, and answer questions. The leadership and community service capstone project, PREP + 6, is the defining piece of MyPI and allows us to reach further into communities. Throughout MyPI, every student works with their family plus six others to develop emergency supply kits and family communication plans. At the conclusion of MyPI, every participant directly enhances the individual and family preparedness of seven families in their community.
As a native Mississippian and advocate for youth preparedness, it is incumbent upon me to close gaps in preparedness across our state. Our goal is to establish a new standard for youth preparedness because that will improve the safety and security of families and communities. Together, the MSU-ES and Mississippi Citizen Corps are working aggressively to promote preparedness by empowering our teens to take a leadership role within their families and communities.

Massachusetts Whole Community Planning and Response EffortsPosted byon September 15, 2014 at 5:40 PM EDT
Samantha Stone is being honored as a Individual and Community Preparedness Champion of Change.
Being selected as a White House Champion of Change is an honor but not a distinction that I alone should hold. I am one person amongst a dedicated team of state government employees who are committed to promoting, protecting, and preserving the health and well-being of all people in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, particularly those individuals and populations most vulnerable, from public health and medical emergencies, threats, and disasters.
As a member of the Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM) at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, I am charged with collaborating with a variety of partners and stakeholders to ensure that our public health and healthcare systems, as well as individuals and communities, have the knowledge, plans, and tools to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impact of these often unplanned and devastating events.
At OPEM, I oversee Show Me, a series of three communication tools meant for use by public health and emergency management personnel, volunteers, and individuals with communication challenges during a variety of emergencies. One tool is paper-based, and the other two are free mobile apps. The tools are intended for use in emergency shelters, emergency dispensing sites, and family assistance centers. At the foundation of these projects is a user-centered design: we worked closely with individuals with communication challenges so that they, as end users of the tools, became co-creators by taking part in each stage of the tools' design, development, and creation. This is an inclusive, participatory process that focuses on users' abilities, desires, and needs as they relate to using the final products. Instead of forcing end users to alter their behaviors to adapt to products we create, the products get created explicitly to meet the needs of end users.
Moving forward, much of our preparedness efforts will focus on developing more comprehensive, regional, and coordinated response to emergencies. OPEM is creating six regional Health and Medical Coordinating Coalitions (HMCC) within Massachusetts. As part of the establishment of HMCC, there was a year-long stakeholder engagement process that brought together representatives from acute care facilities, community health centers, emergency medical service providers, long-term care facilities, and local public health agencies. Emergency management and public safety partners are being brought into the fold as well. This shift towards HMCC embodies the core principles of whole community planning and response: coordinated and collective team efforts are best equipped to understand and meet the needs of a community.
The work that OPEM is doing on the creation of the HMCC, along with the Show Me tool set, is part of a larger departmental movement to focus on whole community and inclusive planning and response efforts as a means of engaging and empowering individuals to create a more resilient community. It's a substantial challenge but one which we're committed to meeting.

Innovation Makes Our Communities SaferPosted byon September 15, 2014 at 5:35 PM EDT
Brittany Valdez is being honored as a Individual and Community Preparedness Champion of Change.
As a Graduate Assistant at the West Virginia University Center for Excellence in Disabilities, I work with the state's Assistive Technology program, West Virginia Assistive Technology System (WVATS), and Partnerships in Assistive TecHnologieS (PATHS). These projects are dedicated to increasing awareness about and access to assistive technology devices and services. Assistive technology is any device that can be used to perform tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform.
The TapToTalk app was first brought to my attention while working on a project to educate public transit drivers in the state about how to assist riders who have issues with communication. To help facilitate communication between drivers and riders, I created a communication system consisting of cards with pictures that depicted common issues that arise while using the public bus system. To increase access to this system, I created an electronic format using TapToTalk, an assistive technology app for smartphones and tablets that allows users to create customized and portable augmentative communication programs by uploading photos and recording audio into specialized "albums."
Upon completion of the communication system for public transit drivers, members of the PATHS board realized that TapToTalk could be beneficial to other service providers, especially first responders. In partnership with the Kanawha Putnam Emergency Planning Committee, PATHS initiated a project to apply the TapToTalk app to help first responders in emergency situations.
To begin, PATHS contacted representatives from the police department, fire department, and emergency medical services to determine what information is the most vital to obtain in emergency situations. We then created questions that could be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" to make the communication system accessible to those with communication issues. Next, we selected and created images to depict each question.
We created separate albums for each service provider within the app so that each album would reflect the needs of the various types of emergency responders. In addition to these specialized albums, we created a generic "Basic Info" album that can be utilized by all service providers.
After the initial completion of the app, first responders in the state were asked to identify additional languages that they felt would be useful. Based on their recommendations, each album was replicated in French, German, Japanese, Italian, and Spanish. These additional languages can be used by individuals with limited English proficiency when appropriate interpreters are unavailable.
I've learned the value of being innovative in preparing our communities for emergencies. We took the TapToTalk app and applied it to emergency situations, and that innovation is making our communities safer. I'm proud to have received the Champions of Change award and look forward to continuing to develop assistive technologies that help individuals communicate with first responders in crisis situations.

Good to know people hunt around YouTube for hot vids. Twerking videos are annoying as heck... unless it's a hot male stripper. Recently discovered those videos on there. Then there's "frat" boys messing around, hazing, doing initiation stuff- in some videos I think they're not messing around and things may have gotten x-rated after the camera was turned off. And then there's also a bunch of borderline fetish stuff on there also.
Tumblr is good also but it's hard to find the original source of many of the photos, like the OP said Google image search doesn't help since it gives you back results of people who reposted the image on Tumblr.

Choosing the Best Game Console for Your Kids
My son turned 7 in December and his biggest wish was a game console.

So we did our due diligence and studied all the options, weighing advice from friends, bloggers, and self-proclaimed experts. Here's what we learned. ... Continue Reading

Happy Customer
I am satisfied with the product. It was shipped in a timely manner and appeared to be well protected with sufficient packing. The shelving unit turned out to be just what I needed, in exact conformity with its description. Assembly was not too difficult. I only wish that the screws included for affixing the back panel were dark instead of shiny, as I need to have the back showing. A little black nail polish took care of that, but I wish I had realized it sooner and made a substitution.Read More

How to Decorate Book Shelves
It's important to realize that your book shelves and cases can be as chic and trendy as your other furniture. Your shelves can do more than just hold books. Adding a personal touch to your home's book shelves will make them a valuable and pleasant addition to any room. You don't have to add much to your book cases to make them stand out. Below is a list of suggestions on how to decorate book shelves.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.
Bookshelf Essentials
Whether you want a place to store books or simply display collectibles, bookshelves are the perfect solution. A bookshelf is a versatile type of furniture that goes with any room or decorating style. Aside from using them for books, use the space for storage by placing baskets for magazines, games, or videos in the living room. Place bookshelves in the bathroom to store extra towels and bath items. Take this list of bookshelf essentials into account before you purchase a set of shelves.
Tips on How to Fill Your Shelving
No house is complete without adequate shelving. There is no shortage of things to stock your shelves. But before you pack your shelving full of whatever junk you have laying around, why not use your shelving strategically to enhance your room decor? Packing shelving full of old magazines and ratty books might get them off the floor, but it sure does seem a waste of beautiful shelves. Whether you have wood shelves, wire shelving, wall mounted shelves, metal shelvingor bathroom shelves, here are some helpful tips on how to stock any shelving units with style.
Best Bookshelf Materials
It's not unusual for bookshelves to incorporate multiple materials for different features. If you haven't decided on wood, wood products, metal or glass bookshelves, look at their relative strengths and weaknesses. Look below to learn the best bookshelf materials. Wood: "Solid wood" is a common term for furniture made from lumber planks. Beware of making assumptions based on labels like "hardwood" and "softwood." Hardwoods are derived from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees; the terms don't connote their relative strengths. Balsa is a hardwood even though it is very soft, just as Douglas fir is a softwood even though it is very hard. They all make excellent, classic stock material for bookcases. Generally, harder woods are the heavier and more resistant to scratches. Still, softer woods, if treated correctly, will keep just as well as harder woods. Plywood: Made by stacking thin sheets -- "plies" -- of lumber and gluing them under pressure, plywood features grains that alternate direction for strength. Several grades are available, of differing cost. Top and bottom plies can be high-quality woods to create the appearance of fine woods, but edge veneer or molding is needed to complete the illusion. Particleboard: Wood chips glued together carry a much lower price tag than solid wood, and particleboard is denser and more uniform. It's a great choice when cost is the primary consideration. Bookshelves crafted from veneered composite boards can look and feel as good as real wood. MDF: Wood fibers, tiny chips and sawdust collected and glued into sheets form medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Low-cost MDF makes an excellent base for veneers; plus, its strength is consistent and it shapes well. Metal: There's a reason most library bookshelves are made from metal: Metal bookcases are resistant to moisture and fungus, their low-friction shelves are easier on books' bindings and metal's strength-to-weight ratio can't be beat. Their cost usually comes in below any other material. Glass: Glass bookshelves weigh more than other types, but if you plan on assembling your bookshelves only once, the style points can be well worth it. Tempered glass shelves (in wood or metal uprights, called "standards") give your home an unbeatable contemporary feel, and glass bookcases' smooth, transparent surfaces add brilliant levity to a decorating piece that might otherwise be notably opaque and heavy.

How to Decorate a Floating Shelf
Floating shelves can give any room an updated look with their modern design. They are simple to install, fill empty wall space and allow you to easily display knickknacks, decorative items and books.

If you're searching for a new bookcase, take a look below to learn answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about bookshelves.
How to Line Shelves
Lining your shelves with colored or patterned paper lining is a great way to spruce up that old bookcase or the kitchen shelves. You can find shelf lining with or without adhesive backing and in all shapes, colors and sizes. For adding a little bit of flair to protecting your glassware in the kitchen or your toiletries on your bathroom shelving, you are bound to find lining that will fit your taste.
How to Organize a Ladder Shelf

FAQs about Bookcases
A bookcase is a great place to store, organize and display books as well as other personal items, like pictures, knickknacks and souvenirs. Bookshelves are pieces of functional, decorative furniture, but you may have some questions about which bookcases are right for your home. Look below to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about bookcases.
How to Choose Shelving for Your Living Room
Stylish shelving can serve many purposes in your living room. A wall shelf or bookshelf is an easy way to display some of your favorite decorative accessories and hardcovers, or it can act as a decorative piece of its own. No matter what you plan to use it, here's how to choose the best shelving for your space.
Tips on Decorating a Bookshelf
Whether it's a simple two-shelf bookcase or a floor-to-ceiling unit, a bookshelf can provide a very strong accent to home decoration. Unlike a complete room makeover or furniture rearrangement, changing and redecorating a bookshelf can be done quickly, and it can be done using your existing home decor. With a few simple changes, your bookcase can become the focal point of your room. Here are some tips on styling a bookshelf.
How to Arrange a Bookcase
Styling a bookcase can go beyond alphabetizing your books. After all, it's your home and not a public library. Use your books as part of the decor that expresses your style. The colorful spines, typography, and even the words in the titles can help set the mood of the room. And when you artfully arrange your bookshelves with decorative accessories, you can create a vignette that's versatile, functional, and beautiful.
How to Organize Your DVDs
Many people love to collect favorite movies, programs and television shows on DVDs, whether it's a collection of classics, documentaries, children's movies or everything in between. Most people cherish their collection of DVDs, but you might not know it from the messy pile those DVDs make when shoved into a box or crammed haphazardly onto a shelf. If you've ever spent almost as much time searching for a movie as you have watching it, then it's probably time for you to organize your DVDs. Some attractive media bookshelves can be a great place to start.
How to Choose the Perfect Bookshelf
Just because all bookshelves have the potential to hold books doesn't mean that they're all equal. Purchasing a bookshelf for your living room should be an informed and well-researched decision in order to tie all your living room furniture together. Your bookshelf should make a statement as well, but not in a gaudy way. The right bookshelf has the potential to be a trendy and attractive focal point of your living room, so it's vital that you pick the right one. Keep reading the article below for helpful tips and ideas on how to choose the perfect bookshelf. Your living room will thank you for your hard work and dedication.
TV Stand Buying Guide
Lately, television consoles, stands and storage racks have been exhibiting updated designs, sporting storage for your media essentials in models that are tastefully coordinated to the rest of your living room furniture. Compact TV stands and corner TV stands are convenient in smaller apartments, dorm rooms and offices, but even large homes can benefit from the clean look and discreet presence of a television stand. As more people upgrade to lean flat-panel televisions, they are seeing that the smaller size of a TV stand is all they need. The furniture industry usually reserves the term "entertainment center" for the largest TV furniture, big enough for the television, a cadre of audio or video components and a full CD-DVD collection. TV stands tend to be smaller than full entertainment centers while still having enough shelves for a few components and some media storage. For smaller homes or for smaller rooms in larger homes a stand may be all the TV furniture you need.
How to Decorate the Top of a Bookshelf
Many people give their decorative accessories a place to shine by putting them on niches, cupboards, and shelves. However, they may overlook one of the ideal spots for showcasing their favorite decorative accessories: the top of a bookshelf. Whether it's a tall corner shelf or a lower modular piece, the surface on top of a bookshelf offers a flat area to arrange art, vases, framed photos, baskets, statues, and sculptures.
FAQs about Weight Benches
Weight benches are standard fixtures bought and used in most home gyms. They are one of the most popular home gym machines on the market today. Your basic weight bench consists of a board that measures about 1 foot wide and about 3 feet long and is supported on metal legs. The board is padded for the comfort of the user. Most weight benches also include an affixed rack or stand on one end to hold weights.
Best Kids' Storage
Children's bookshelves and kids' storage, as a rule, should be low to the ground. Furniture tip-overs have accounted for almost 15,000 childhood accidents each year from 1990 to 2007, according to the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Children often reach for items on the top of bookshelves, causing tip-overs. With low-to-the-ground kids' storage, children can easily reach their favorite books or other items without parents worrying about the furniture seriously injuring their child. Look below to learn the best kids' bookshelves and other kids' storage bins.

Tags: 65 MPs letter, Letter to Obama, Nehru's letter to Attlee, British PM Attlee, US, Democracy, Mir and Mirza, Citizen, Cadre, Voter
Where 65 MPs hided who send letter to Obama as Nehru's shocking letter to British PM Attlee?
65 MPs letter to Obama and Nehru's shocking letter to British PM Attlee: 65 MPs might follow Nehu's letter to British Prime Minister of that time Attlee. UPA Govt and those MPs accepted US their AAka by doing this. We hope htat present government would not follow this path..
Shyamlal Jain, the confidential steno of the INA Defence Committee, in the course of his deposition, made a shocking revelation about Nehru's attitude toward Netaji, "Later Nehru asked me to type a letter on his letterhead. Mr.Nehru addressed that letter to Mr.Clamment Attlee the then PM of Britain, in which Mr.Attlee was informed about the contents of that hand written note regarding Mr.Subhash entry into Russian territory.
"I solemnly affirm and state on oath that thereafter Shri Jawaharlal Nehru gave me four papers from his writing pad to make four copies of a letter, which he would dictate to me on typewriter, which I also complied. The contents of the letter, as far as I could remember, were as follows
Dear Mr. Attlee:
I understand from a reliable source that Subhas Chandra Bose, your war criminal, has been allowed to enter Russian territory by Stalin. This is a clear treachery and betrayal of faith by the Russians. As Russia has been an ally of the British-Americans, it should not have been done. Please take note of it and do what you consider proper and fit.
Yours sincerely,
Jawaharlal Nehru.
"We wish to respectfully urge you to maintain the current policy of denying Mr. Modi a visa to theUnited States," the MPs belonging to 12 parties have said in identical letters to Obama. One letter was signed by 25 Rajya Sabha members and the other by 40 Lok Sabha members vwritten on November 26 and December 5, 2102 respectively and re-faxed to the White House on Sunday.
Leaders and voters change their sides of different angel but cadres generally never change this. Is this strength or weakness of democracy? There should be discussion on this also.
In the democracy every citizen is the king or badshah. But they should not be Mir and Mirza: 'the chess continues even as the British troops march into the city until they have a fight over the game. Mir, who has nearly shot Mirza and is ashamed of his behavior, says, 'We cannot even cope with our wives, so how can we cope with the company's army?' Is citizenship of cadres different to the citizenship of leaders and voters? Who have both type of citizenship?

Find People by Address - Do Reverse Address Search
Let us say you have this very close childhood friend of yours. After which, you were separated and after a few years, you forgot his name. But there is one thing that you did not forget: his address. The address is 15th Block of Lying Truthful Street, Mexican Panda Boulevard. Well, that's just an address I made up. Anyway, what are you going to do with the address? Visit? Well, you'd spend a lot of money to go there, with the least assurance that the childhood friend of yours would still reside there. What about performing a reverse address search? Now that's what we'll talk about here!
Using reverse address search engines, you might just have contact with that person again. With such service, you may be able to know the name, phone number and even the other people that currently reside in the mentioned address. Typically, these information are provided free of charge by some websites.
But if you have money to spend for more reliable and powerful information, you may be able to know the monetary value of the mentioned address, history of the neighborhood and even the possible neighbors that are just living near the mentioned address.
Anyway, the best free site that is very efficient in doing the basic reverse address search is WhitePages. They would typically cost you no penny at all, but would provide you with basic information about the address. For advanced reverse address search, you can visit some background check services, but more about later.
You can also enter the address into a search engine like Yahoo. See what comes up. Maybe that address will give you some 'clues' on the people who live there. Who knows! You got to try everything.
I've mentioned that you can do a reverse address search using some background check services. There are lots of them on the web, really. The one I'd really recommend you deal with, after talking with many people who told me that they are really best in terms of price & quality is US Search [http://www.peoplesearchpedia.com]. You can check out their site if you click here [http://www.peoplesearchpedia.com]. They will display you some powerful information about the people who live on an address.
Good luck!

still referring to my 10 day WDW trip planned in January. (yes, I know its during the marathons.)
FP had ended its run in January and the machines are getting ripped out.
You have to use MagicBands & Fastpass+.
Don't take everyone on here's word for how bad it is, MagicBands and Fastpass+ are actually better IMO. I feel like a lot of Disney fanatics get upset when anything is changed.
But you will just have to see for yourself. Try not to keep onto preconceived notions about the new FP+, as you have yet to experience it yourself. It is very likely that you will enjoy it.

There is an advantage to staying onsite, and one of them is you can make your fastpass plus selections 2 months before your trip. It sounds crazy, but that's the way the system is set up today. I just did this, and my trip is about a month away. I can't say, I hate it, or I love it yet, because it's my first time using it.
However, I have done the onsite stays, and the offsite stays, and for me, a person who doesn't drive, onsite is definitely the way to go.
All a person can do, before traveling to Disney World, is read up and study up as much as you can. There are many great Disney World forums out there that can help you.
I like FastPass+ better than the Disneyland FastPass system as well- it satisfies the micromanaging Type-A-Vacationer in me, PLUS you don't have to run all over the parks grabbing FPs all day long- I HATED having to run to a machine, grab a FastPass, THEN run to the secondary ride, ride that, wait, THEN end up heading back to the original ride. Way too many trips criss-crossing everything.
I don't care, I hate the pre-planned vacation idea. It takes away freedom and spontaneuity.(sp?)
"Oh wait, I can't get a drink now, I have to get in line in three minutes."
stupid. They're changing everything to futuristic micro-managing systems. Meh. Call me closed minded. I don't care. I don't want to use magic bands or cards so they can tag me like cattle. I don't want to be on a set schedule when I go to Disney world. I want to do what ever I want. Now I have to choose between two things I hate: Sitting in long lines, or being controlled by a ride schedule. I don't even always use all my traditional fp's because I want to do something else at the time.

PlutoHasFleas: The MiceChat Blog
I hated having to walk all the way over to an attraction, not to get on the ride, but to get a ticket to come back in a few hours. What a tease.
Now, you pick 3 rides you want to ride that day, and the app gives you 4 random combinations of your selections at different times, your 3 selections at morning afternoon evening or night.
You can make reservations for anytime of day while you are there.
If you feel like changing your FP+ reservations at anytime, open the app and change them to new ones.
Seriously, you have no idea how much time you save by not having to print out a FP ticket, and you don't know how awesome it is to be able to change your FP to another attraction because you want to "do something else". Not only can you do that something else, you can change your FP+ to it and not have to wait in the stand-by line for what you spontaneously decided to do.
Every attraction has Fastpass+. All of them. So if you change your mind from your scheduled FP+ for Splash Mountain, because you want to do the Jungle Cruise, you can change your FP+ from Splash Mountain to the Jungle Cruise instantly via the app and stay dry.
While I have my issues with the FP+ system, the things you are worried about are not anything like you think, and in fact the new system is better for the way you like to visit the parks.

We were a bit skeptical of the new system as well, but found we liked it much better than the old system. Under the old FP, you went to the attraction to get your FP. What if the return time was during a meal? No FP for you. Now with FP+, we were able to schedule ours around meals, and any other activities that we had scheduled. Another example. Under the old system, you had to get to HS at rope drop, head straight to TSMM to get a FP, and if you weren't quick enough, the return time might be 6 or 7PM. Your are in the park all day (even if you don't want to be). Now, schedule your FP+ for whenever you feel like. We were able to sleep in, get to the park in late morning, and enjoy TSMM with a very short wait. No hassles. No running. Much better for us. YMMV, but we really like the new system.
