Looking for a partner in crime...or fun :)
I love good music and good company to listen to it with. I'm a mom and a teacher and I take both very seriously. I'm from Israel and go back as often as I can. I'm a very honest person, sometimes to a fault. I'm a little shy when you first meet me but once I get to know a person I get over my shyness pretty quickly. As a matter of fact, most of my friends don't believe me when I say I'm shy around new people. The first date thing is always awkward, but it's something you have to get through so I prefer to do it with a glass of wine - that always helps! So...if you want to know more or go have a glass of wine and a slightly awkward time - message me :)

I listen to R&B, jazz, and reggae mostly, but i like other music as well. Pretty much anything with a good beat that you can bop your head to and it makes you feel good...
I love travelling and trying out new things. But I also enjoy staying home, cooking dinner, and cuddling on the sofa for the evening. As long as I'm in good company, I pretty much enjoy doing anything.

The benefits of a low-TDP processor are obvious, but a usual downside is also obvious: low clock speeds. Intel's changing that thinking with their Core 2 Quad "S" series, which includes the Q9550S, Q9400S and also the Q8200S. Compared to their non-"S" variants, they draw less power and run cooler, all while retaining the performance they've become known for.
Generally speaking, the faster the processor, the higher the system-wide bandwidth and the lower the latency. As is always the case, faster is better when it comes to processors, as we'll see below. But with Core i7, the game changes up a bit.
Whereas previous memory controllers utilized a dual-channel operation, Intel threw that out the window to introduce triple-channel, which we talked a lot about at August's IDF. Further, since Intel integrates the IMC onto the die of the new CPUs, benefits are going to be seen all-around.
Before jumping into the results, we already had an idea of what to expect, and just as we did, the results seen are nothing short of staggering.
Where bandwidth is concerned, absolutely no increases are seen on the Core 2 platform when sticking to the same front-side bus. That only changes with Core i7, as the incredible results at the top of the graph shows. Since both the Q9400's and the Q8200 utilize a 1333MHz FSB, the bandwidth hovers around 7,500 for both the Int and Float. Latencies for the most part are the same way, although they don't average out as well as the bandwidth does, and each run of the benchmark would be ±3 – 5.
How fast can one core swap data with another? It might not seem that important, but it definitely is if you are dealing with a true multi-threaded application. The faster data can be swapped around, the faster it's going to be finished, so overall, inter-core speeds are important in every regard.
Even without looking at the data, we know that Core i7 is going to excel here, for a few different reasons. The main is the fact that this is Intel's first native Quad-Core. Rather than have two Dual-Core dies placed beside each other, i7 was built to place four cores together, so that in itself improves things. Past that, the ultra-fast QPI bus likely also has something to do with speed increases.
This Sandra test gives pretty expected results. The faster the CPU, the lower the latency and faster the core negotiations. This is one area where i7 excels, thanks in part to its ultra-fast QPI bus.

Chargers take camp production to Dallas
"You use every guy's experience and that's what we've tried to do," Turner said.
And it cannot be underestimated the importance of there being just one practice each day, as per rules of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
"I don't think we've ever had this many practices in this many days, full padded in the afternoon and been able to do it at a high level like this," defensive end Luis Castillo said. "There's a different level of energy and physically you're higher when you didn't just do it a couple hours ago. I think we're getting good work in.
Thursday at the Cowboys' training facility, the Chargers offense will go against the Cowboys defense, while the Chargers defense goes against the Cowboys offense on an adjacent field. Special teams work will also be integrated. Friday's practice will be at Cowboys Stadium.
"I think the biggest thing is competing against somebody that's not somebody who knows you so well," Castillo said. "We know our (offensive) guys and they know us so well … We know how they set, they know how we pass rush. We know what they like to do in the run game."
Going against new faces with new, unfamiliar moves and different abilities is what every player mentioned when looking ahead to these two days.
"Every day I work against two of the best receivers in the league," cornerback Quentin Jammer said. "But you have to work in with them so much you get to know those guys, you get to know tendencies, and you get to know how they run routes. So it'll be good to get up against another set of receivers who I think are two of the best in the league … It's a different type of receiver too. We have tall guys that can run and jump and cut, and they are more shifty and route runners and (utilize) speed. I'm gonna have a good time."

Simnjanovski gets kick out of role
Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO -- Just three years ago, Brian Simnjanovski was handling kickoffs for Escondido High when the Cougars' regular punter was injured in the third game of the season. Simnjanovski, whose forte was soccer, took over as punter and was clearly out of his element.
"I had no clue on punting," Simnjanovski recalled. "I wasn't that good. I'd kick it as hard as I could but I didn't know any of the mechanics."
Things are a lot different now. The San Diego State junior is a nominee for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's best punter. Even though he shared the job with Justin Sisco at the beginning of 2000, Simnjanovski earned second-team All-Mountain West Conference honors and ranked 14th nationally with a 42.8 average.
The evidence points to Simnjanovski being a quick learner.
"He is a real hard worker," special teams coach Wayne Dickens said. "He's devoted the time to every little phase of punting the football -- his drop, the catch, the snap, the extension of the leg through the ball, direction on the punt.
"He's worked on it all and because he's so conscientious, I'm not surprised at all that he did what he did."
After walking on in 1999 and handling kickoff duties, Simnjanovski said he spent much of the ensuing offseason working on his punting mechanics with Aztecs strength and conditioning coach Dave Ohton. He did the same thing this past offseason with his brother Riste, a soccer player at the University of Redlands, acting as his snapper.
"He would just toss it underhand," Simnjanovski said of his brother's snapping ability. "He got pretty good at it."
You could say the same at punting for Brian, who comes from a strong-legged family tree. SDSU kicker Tommy Kirovski and U.S. national team soccer player Jovan Kirovski are second cousins.
"I feel pretty good," Simnjanovski said. "I'm getting better every season."
Simnjanovski was one of the few bright spots for the Aztecs' special teams last season. SDSU's coverage units were abysmal, the returners were spotty and Rancho Bernardo alumnus Nate Tandberg was inconsistent despite kicking two game-winning field goals.
"I would expect across-the-board improvement in every phase of the kicking game," Dickens said.
Kirovski, a former San Pasqual High standout, was an All-American kicker at Palomar College in 1999 when he ranked third nationally with 84 points, converting 51 of 52 extra points and 11 of 13 field goals.
"As camp has gone on, he's become more consistent, and that's going to be what we need with place-kicking," Dickens sand. "He needs to be consistent."
The Aztecs also break in a new long snapper, as redshirt freshman Casey Naylor takes over for the departed Jason Asbury.
Receiver Derrick Lewis, who averaged 11.2 yards on five punt returns and 21.1 yards on 14 kickoff returns in 2000, will handle the punt-return duties. He's also a candidate to handle kickoff return duties along with receiver J.R. Tolver, true freshman running back Michael Franklin and cornerback Donte Gamble (25.2 average on five kick returns in 2000).

Compression Tools Compared
Data compression works so well that popular backup and networking tools have some built in. Linux offers more than a dozen compression tools to choose from, and most of them let you pick a compression level too. To find out which perform best, I benchmarked 87 combinations of tools and levels. Read this article to learn which compressor is a hundred times faster than the others and which ones compress the most.
The most popular data compression tool for Linux is gzip, which lets you choose a compression level from one to nine. One is fast, and nine compresses well. Choosing a good trade-off between speed and compression ratio becomes important when it takes hours to handle gigabytes of data. You can get a sense of what your choices are from the graph shown in Figure 1. The fastest choices are on the left, and the highest compressing ones are on the top. The best all-around performers are presented in the graph's upper left-hand corner.
But many other data compression tools are available to choose from in Linux. See the comprehensive compression and decompression benchmarks in Figures 2 and 3. As with gzip, the best performers are in the upper left-hand corner, but these charts' time axes are scaled logarithmically to accommodate huge differences in how fast they work.
The Benchmarks
How compactly data can be compressed depends on what type of data it is. Don't expect big performance increases from data that's already compressed, such as files in Ogg Vorbis, MP3 or JPEG format. On the other hand, I've seen data that allows performance increases of 1,000%!
All benchmarks in this article used the same 45MB of typical Linux data, containing:
24% ELF 32-bit LSB
15% ASCII C program
11% gzip compressed data
8% ASCII English text
7% binary package
4% directory
2% current ar archive
2% Texinfo source text
2% PostScript document text
2% Bourne shell script
2% ASCII text
21% various other data types
This data set was chosen because it is more representative of the demands made on today's Linux systems than the data used in the traditional Canterbury and Calgary test data, because this data set is bigger and contains Linux binaries.
I used the same lightly loaded AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU with 1GB of RAM and version 2.4.27-1-k7 of the Linux kernel for all tests. Unpredictable disk drive delays were minimized by pre-loading data into RAM. Elapsed times were measured in thousandths of a second. I'm not affiliated with any of the tools, and I strove to be objective and accurate.
The tools that tend to compress more and faster are singled out in the graphs shown in Figures 4 and 5. Use these for backups to disk drives. Remember, their time axes are scaled logarithmically. The red lines show the top-performing ones, and the green lines show the top performers that also can act as filters.
How to improve backups?
Hi. Congratulations for this very useful article... I use a script for backup made by myself which use tar +gzip... switching to tar - lsop backup time takes less than half time, increasing the backup size by about 25%.
An idea to improve speed is to replace tar with a more intelligent tool.
Infact, tar simply "cat all files to stdout" and then gzip or lsop compress this huge stream of data, but some data is already compressed (images, movies, open document files) and don't need to be recompressed!
The idea is to have an archiver (like tar) which compress each file by itself, storing the original file in case of images, movies, archives, already compressed files.
Is there any tool that can do this, and save all priviledges (owner, group, mode) associated to each file like tar does?
Thank you. Paolo

Very nice information provided.Thanks!!!
Excelent article.
Thanks very much for this article. I really enjoyed it, and will be helpfull for my daily work.
1. how about another part
how about another part with specific data - like 90+% text? for mysql dumps & dbmail scenarios etc.
and 45MB does not sound as sufficient test data size for rzip to test it's speed.
Compression on Windows
First of all excellent test!.
Believe it or not, but compression is one of those application types where all research takes place on Windows Pc's. The last couple of years there were some major breakthroughs in compression caused by the new PAQ context modeling algorithms. Have a look at this site for some results. Programs like gzip, rzip 7-zip and lzop are tested here too, so it should be easy to compare results.

Corinthians have confirmed an approach from Napoli for goalkeeper Ralf.
With Pepe Reina only on-loan from Liverpool, Napoli remain in the market for a new keeper.
"Yes, I cannot deny it," Corinthians chief Edu Gaspar told CalcioMercato. "Napoli have asked about Ralf.
"I am in contact with some of the leaders from that club, but they have not made a formal proposal yet.
"I've in the papers that a deal has been done, but that is not the case.
"We are willing to keep on talking, but Ralf is indispensable for us. If Napoli were to make an offer, it would have to be very convincing."

New here? Come say hi on Twitter at @jenfulwiler!
LOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! Oh my word! AWESOME!!!
You're too goofy 😛
LOL! I Love it!!! You really do have a nice voice.
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
If only all information was stated so concisely and entertainingly. It fits a piece of advice I heard the other day: "Take what you are doing seriously, but not yourself."
I kept thinking, wow, she's so serious. Totally hilarious!
You present yourself very well.
not sure about the dude in the banana costume….
there is a story somewhere?
(some Christians drive me bananas as well..ha) I am a Christian…
Go, Jen!
Love it.
that was wonderful! so funny!
Love that surprise ending!
Oh Jennifer…that was fantastic! Thanks for the smile!
What's with the banana in the background? 😉
This is a test video, I guess? You speak well, carefully and clearly. Perhaps a more visually interesting location, though? A desk, or an armchair?
FANTASTIC!…an m. night shamalan twist!
Video is nice, but have you considered podcasts. This way people can take you with them.
So serious.
Love it.
Hooray! Best video blog ever.
Aw, good job on your first video!!
But don't forget to smile!
PS: Just curious, why is the person filming you wearing a banana suit?
Teehee. Very cute!
Oh my gosh. Can't get enough of this.
I showed it to my husband through laughter. I think it made him nervous (Is there a banana suit in my future, I could hear him wondering.).
Perfect! I'm left wondering, "Did they just happen to have a banana costume laying around??"
You're so funny!
OH MY!!! LOL! I LOOOOOVE this vid!! Haha You brightened up my day.
Long time lurker! Too funny!!!
Loved it!
Dying at the banana suit!!!
Oh my gosh, Jennifer, that is hilarious! Totally caught me on that one. My daughter happened to be watching; then she had to see it AGAIN. Then my other daughter came in and said, "What?!" So we had to show her. Meanwhile, my husband is lying here on the bed where I am typing, listening, wondering, "Huh???" This is great. I am definitely sharing it on my blog! Hope that's okay…
Hilarious! You are too much! 😀 I don't think anyone could accuse of taking yourself too seriously.
Interesting video. You make an apeeling case.
Died. Laughing.
Loved it. The banana suit was put to good use!
And I thought I was the only one who kept a guy in a banana suit around for inspiration.
It must be a blogging thing.
I figured there had to be a catch. You looked way too serious for there not to be something funny! I love the people who don't get it
God Bless.
As a fellow artiste, fully immersed in this thankless yet vital vocation, I find that I am profoundly moved by this.
Hahaha! Too cute.
Well done. Concise, passionate. Makes me want to bake a loaf of banana bread for some reason. hmmm?
Hilarious! Wonder if it can be a running joke for future vids. Thanks for the laugh….
Wonderful! Love it!
Love it, love it, love it! You're hilarious.
There's a dangling modifier in the first sentence (just my pet peeve). Nice video though!
Wow, Jen, I loved it! You're a natural in front of the camera! On another note, you do have a beautiful voice. I'd love to see more.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this apeeling video. I'd leave a longer comment but I've got to split.
Ha! We're all dying for more!!
Oh my goodness. You completely caught me off guard. That's the first real belly laugh I had all day (it's been a long one). Thanks for that. You are hilarious. (And you do have a great voice.)
You rock. So does the banana man.
That was very interesting, but aren't you afraid of attracting large banana-eating scorpions???
My type of vlog!
Hahahaha!!! I'm glad I watched it a 2nd time, didn't catch it at first! : )
BAGAHAHAHAHA! LOVE IT. I had to wonder after the first few seconds if there was going to be a surprise ending. It seemed all quite serious. I have to say I didn't expect that. You are such a hoot! I bet you are totally, totally fun to hang out with.su
Oh. My. Gosh. I LOLed.
That was hilarious!!!! Where did you get that banana suit?
I can't see it… is there a problem?
Hahahahaha–love the banana-man, I mean, camera man!
Awesome – an apostolate for banana addicts
Haha! The art of blogging. Great vlog.
Please see #94:
The 100 Least Powerful People Under 100
HUH-larious!! Cracking up out loud!
Brilliant! LOVE the ending!
I love your alto voice, Jen. You sound like me.
I'm so used to reading without hearing your accent…never thought to imagine one…totally shocking. (But, already knew about the banana.)

A minuscule sensor, stuck discreetly to your windshield, registers each time you approach a Time To Shine drive-thru spray station and preps the high-tech equipment within for the proper procedures, including an underbody blast, high-pressure spray, tri-color foam conditioner, wheel clean, rain guard, rust inhibitor, and poly sealant. A spot-free rinse douses off the last of the biodegradable chemicals, flushing 80% of the liquids through a PurWater Reclaim recycling system; a high-powered air dry prevents cars from vigorously shaking off clingy droplets. Free vacuums line one side of each Time To Shine location so that customers can also evict interior litter.102 S Illinois AveOak Ridge, TN US

Rose 31 for me.
Hey guys,
So, I like to queue up my fragrance purchases on Fragrantica. Curious what you're waiting to buy next? Here's my next purchases:
(1) Chez Bond - what GIT should have been (yes, I said it!). Fell in love with it the night I tested it.
(2) Frapin L`Humaniste - wonderful top notes. Dries down to something very subtle, masculine, and addictive .
(3) Comme des Garcons Play - I couldn't stop sniffing this when I sampled it. The most refined sweet/candy-like fragrance I've ever tried.
Pleas feel free to check out my Youtube channel for frag reviews and let me know what you think.
Paestum Rose. I just love it. I've been wearing samples and going into Les Senteurs whenever I am in the area. End of next month and it's mine.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
My current "buy" list, after this, I think that will be the end of the fragrances I have really wanted to demo. I will buy them as they come available, not in a huge rush right now.
Joop Nightflight - Interested to try it out, A fresh, Unique fragrance with great longevity and silliage, sign me up!
Swiss Army Altitude - Nostalgia more than anything, but I do enjoy the scent very much!
Escada Magnetism - I sold this stupidly, now wanting it back as a going out scent.
Prada Amber - My long lasting, clean, fresh out of the shower scent.
Uomo by Mochino - The note breakdown was something I was interested in. Pretty cheap to purchase too
Individuel Mont Blanc - I loved Original Santal, but wish to give this a go and see if it satisfies my need before dropping on OS
Lolita Lempicka Au Masculine - I keep flip flopping on Body Kouros, but this has me so intrigued as an alternative!
Very Irresistable Givenchy - Sold this earlier in the year, kind of missing it now, its a nice Hazlenut Mint Mocha Scent.
Essenza De Zegna - A grown up Aqua Di Gio supposedly, interested to give it a go!
BLV Notte - Chocholate + Soapy Powder, which reminds others of Le Male.
Azzaro Elixir - I have this available at local stores, I need to give it a few demos. Xeryus rouge + Azzaro PH, seems cool!
Zegna Extreme Z - I don't even know why I want this, I think I like the bottle more than anything
XS Paco Rabanne - The comparisons to Platinum Egoiste and Fierce have me very interested to give it a go.

Another one that I really want is vintage Samsara by Guerlain - I really want to find the extrait/parfum but I'd be happy with a decant of vintage EdP.
Both of these, in case you haven't already noticed, are sandalwood prominent scents - I'm not sure what it is, but I seem to be addicted to the stuff as of late. I'm clueless as to why.

Np, i'll post my impressions (with the help of my gf who knows very well this perfume, 2 noses are better than one).I'd be curious to know what you think of how the square bottle compares to the bell jar when you get a chance to smell it. Post something up if you get a chance, as I would venture to say that I'm not the only one who'e be interested to hear.
I bought a bottle last spring and i'm satisfied, i hope it will be the same juice. Of course there are littles differences as the tuberose flower note who is not as deep as in previous versions but globally still good.

Quietly, another mosque operates in shadow of Ground Zero
''The decision has already been made. But we're going to stay on him, and keep exposing his radical ties," Brown said, adding that he and the ACLJ will challenge a landmark status rejection. "The bridge Imam Rauf wants to build is a bridge to Islam, and it's a one-way street."
Publicly, Rauf has expressed confidence that Cordoba House will move forward, noting the quiet but steadfast support from local residents and city officials, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
''The government should never, never be in the business of telling people how they should pray or where they can pray," Bloomberg told reporters in late July, responding to Sarah Palin and other vocal Republican and Tea Party critics of the project.
Interfaith advocates and religion experts, including Boston University professor Stephen Prothero, author of "God Is Not One," have chimed in, objecting to the emerging arguments: that Cordoba House should not be built near Ground Zero because it will serve as a symbol of Muslim conquest of lower Manhattan, and because Saudi Arabia doesn't allow the construction of churches.
''Since when has Saudi Arabia been the model for American civil liberties?" Prothero asked, in his CNN blog, wondering whether all mosques and other non-Christian houses of worship should therefore be banned, as well. "One of America's core values, inscribed into the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, is freedom of religion."
But less than 10 years after the attacks, with Ground Zero still under heavy construction and Americans still facing grave threats from Muslim extremists abroad and at home, the wound is far too raw to be talking about tolerance, Brown contends.
''Now is not the right time," he said. "They're telling us that we're against religious freedom? That's backwards. Our friends and families were murdered by these terrorists, who were against religious freedom."
For its part, Masjid Manhattan, crammed into the Warren Street basement, continues to distance itself from the Cordoba House proposal on its website and in conversations. Elazabawy says they would not be interested in moving to the facility, which won't be ready until 2012 at the earliest.
Nodding towards the diverse array of men sitting on the dingy floor — in business suits, track suits and traditional African or Middle Eastern clothing — Elazabawy said his mosque desperately wants more room, but not at the cost of a multi-million dollar facility and at the expense of community relations.
''We need space, because our community is growing," he said. "But we are not with that group. They are just investors, for real estate."

Mark Ballard / The Advocate
BATONROUGE, La. -- The Louisiana House on Thursday rejected the lawsuit filed against 97 oil and gas companies by a New Orleans levee board by approving legislation that would retroactively kill the litigation, which claims the companies caused environmental damage to the state's wetlands.
The House voted 59 to 39 for Senate Bill 469, which would reach back and change the conditions under which the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East, called SLFPA-E, could sue.

Photos of Robert Pattinson in Costume Filming Bel Ami and Drinking Tea in London
First Photos: Robert Pattinson Makes Time For Tea in His Bel Ami Costume!
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Robert Pattinson was on the London set of Bel Ami this morning, dressed in his old-timey costume and strolling behind the scenes with a mug of tea. He's home in England again after a whirlwind week of promoting Remember Me in NYC, with many interviews surrounding his big Monday night premiere with Kristen Stewart. He left town on Tuesday evening, but we just got a behind-the-scenes peek at him and Kristen having fun with his family at the screening's afterparty. His film doesn't hit the big screen until next Friday, but for now Rob seems fully occupied working on his period piece with Uma Thurman.

From my point of view , Kristen is awful, can's stand her literally...when I just see her receiving an award I feel embarrassed for her, she is terrible...not only she sucks as an actress (sucks really) but also she looks like dirty, and untidy, awful. I just hope beautiful Rob just hangs out with Camilla Belle…now she is gorgeous, just for him...they would look great together...or Natalie Portman, not trashy Kristen. Kind Regards

1923 - 2014 |
AUSTIN Over thirty years ago, Texas Monthly wrote of W.E. "Pete" Snelson, "Conservative Democrat. Midland. Not flashy but a devotee of Grover Cleveland's maxim Honor lies in honest toil."
Former State Senator W.E. "Pete" Snelson passed away peacefully at his home in Georgetown, Texas on the afternoon of Saturday April 26, 2014 surrounded by his family. Generous and kind even in passing Pete will always be remembered for his enjoyment of the simple pleasures in life such as a beautiful West Texas sunset. He loved his family, friends, talking politics and watching sports on television. He was an inspiration to all who knew him.
Pete was born the sixth of seven children on March 28, 1923 in Grandfalls, Texas. He was salutatorian of his graduating class from Grandfalls-Royalty High. After graduation, Pete worked as news editor and advertising manager for the Grandfall's Gazette. In 1940, he began studying journalism at Texas College of Mines in El Paso. He combined his college studies with a full time job as sports editor for the El Paso Times.
In 1943, Pete was called to active duty by the US
. After basic training, Pete was sent by the Army Specialized Training Program to the University of Nebraska to study German language, history, and culture. Pete joined the 44th Infantry Division, Company B of the 324th Infantry Regiment which was deployed to Cherbourg, France. On November 13, 1944, Pete's Company attacked the German line in the Vosges Mountains where he was wounded. After three months of recuperation, he was interviewed and selected for service as a Special Agent in the 307th Counter Intelligence Corp detachment at 7th Army Headquarters. Prior to Pete's discharge from the US Army as a Technical Sargent, he received a
Purple Heart
Bronze Star
, and Combat Infantryman's Badge. He remained in the US Army Reserve and was commissioned as a Lieutenant and served as a commander of the Counter Intelligence Corps unit at Fort Bliss, Texas.
After the War, Pete returned to El Paso where he graduated from Texas College of Mines and accepted a faculty position. In 1948, Pete began his Masters of Journalism at
Northwestern University
in Evanston, Illinois. After his graduation in 1950, Pete moved to Midland where he was named a vice-president of Odessa College. During the 1950s, Pete was elected President of the Texas Jaycees and was named outstanding State president by the US Jaycees. He left higher education in 1955 to found Snelson Advertising agency which he operated for thirty-five years. On May 31, 1959, Pete married Susan Sutton of Denver, Colorado.
In 1960, Pete defeated a three time incumbent and was elected as a State Representative. In 1964, Pete was elected to the Texas Senate. He served the 25th District until his retirement in 1983. During his long tenure as an elected official, he served as chairman of the Senate Education, Oil & Gas and Intergovernmental Relations committees. He also served on the Legislative Budget Board and Finance Committee as well as the Sunset Commission and the Legislative Council. In 1971, he was elected as President Pro-Tempore of the Texas Senate and served as Governor for a day on December 4, 1971. In reflecting back upon his long and illustrious career, the legislation that stood out for him most was his sponsorship of the Early Childhood Intervention Program that became the model nationally for early intervention for developmentally delayed children ages 0-3.
In 1983, Pete left the Senate and devoted himself to his oil company Six-S Properties and Snelson Advertising agency. In 1989, he began a new career as a legislative consultant for education until his retirement in 2008. Pete's example of humility, honesty, and leadership will be treasured by his family and friends.
Pete is survived by the love of his life Susan Snelson and their four children and ten grandchildren: Gene Snelson and Kara Salmonson and their sons Dylan and Lance; Sandy and Lynn Yaklin and their children Marshall, Shepherd, and Hanna; Steven and Teresa Guerra Snelson and their children Casey and Skylar; and Shane and Antonieta Snelson and their children Ana, Luke, and Eva as well as his brother Bill Snelson and niece Maggie Meline.
Services will be held on Saturday May 3rd at 1:00 p.m. at Central Presbyterian Church, 200 E. 8th Street immediately followed by a burial service at the Texas State Cemetery at 909 Navasota Street. Parking will be available at St David's Episcopal Church 301 E 8th. Donations can be made in lieu of flowers in Pete's name to either: Sul Ross Archives of the Big Bend, Sul Ross State University, BAB 200, Box C-100, Alpine, Texas 79832,
(giving), or Honor Flight Austin, 815-A Brazos St., UPS Box 498, Austin, TX 78701-2514,
Arrangements by Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, (512) 452-8811. Obituary and guestbook available online at

Obama says US committed to providing assets for MH370 ocean search
Published on Apr 27, 2014 2:46 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - US President Barack Obama said on Sunday that the United States was "absolutely committed" to providing more assets to assist in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.
"I can tell you the United States is absolutely committed to providing whatever resources and assets that we can," Mr Obama told a news conference in Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
A US defence official told Reuters on Friday that the sea search is likely to drag on for years as it enters the much more difficult phase of scouring broader areas of the ocean near where the plane is believed to have crashed.

anyone familiar with these one-way discount charters?
these are apparently repositioning charters that can be had for a good price. Anyone ever do one? A Jeanneau 45 for 10 days for $800 sounds awfully cheap.
anyone familiar with these one-way discount charters?
Can be a good deal, you basically are paying the charter company for repositioning the yacht either back to base or out to another island, for a later charter. Saves the charter company paying a captain and crew to do it for them..
Good luck

Release Date:
May 6, 2003
The Sounds embrace the decades-old bands that have inspired them to an unhealthy, cover band-like extent -- they pose for photographs as if they're Blondie, and they both look and play the part, with black T-shirts, faded jeans, and snappy three-minute songs with trebly keyboard vamps and tightly wound guitar riffs. But the thing you cannot take away from the members of this Swedish group is that they know how to write and play songs that fit into their favorite era without the sense that specific songs are being cloned. More than that, the group has a bright, singular personality in powerful lead singer Maja Ivarsson, who has a multi-dimensional voice of her own -- her Debbie Harry isn't nearly as obvious as the guy from the Hives' Mick Jagger, for instance. If you value fun over originality -- and you should, especially when it comes to guitar bands at this point -- the Sounds' debut will serve its purpose. It's over with in 40 minutes, and it plays out like a collection of A-sides. If a legion of bands can get away with relying on Nuggets fetishes, why can't a handful get away with taking several cues from Missing Persons, the Cars, and Blondie? Andy Kellman, Rovi

For some, the first sign of snow means it is time to dig out the wool socks and blankets and go into hibernation. For others, though, it means time to wax those skis and hit the slopes! Skiing is an incredible sport that involves physical, mental, social and emotional aspects of wellness. Often times winter can bring people into a depression called Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.). Skiing combines the great outdoor air with physical activity and some sunshine exposure that many people... Read More

Granny's got the moves!
90-year-old grandmother, Jeanne Harr, has been dancing for most of her life. Even though she is partially deaf and blind, she still loves to dance to songs like LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" and Justin Bieber's "Baby." She is a viral granny with over three million YouTube channel views and this past week, she paid tribute to one of her favourite superstars, Whitney Houston.
See more: Whitney Houston laid to rest in New Jersey
The video begins with Harr's heartfelt statement, "I'm doing this in memory of the late Whitney Houston. It's very hard to think of her as being gone," and continues with her dancing to Houston's 1987 track, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Near the end of the video, a caption appears at the bottom of the screen that says, "Once granny heard the name of the song, she said she wouldn't [dance] unless she got to dance with somebody." That "somebody" is her grandson and caretaker, Adam Forgie.
See more: Torontonian dances his way onto "The Ellen Show"
Forgie is the one responsible for Harr's viral stardom, as he was the one to post her first videos on YouTube last year. He first noticed her dancing while they were out shopping and thought it was too cute to ignore. "We drive around in the car when I take her to the store and what not, and every once in a while, if there is song with a good beat on, she'll dance a little bit," Forgie told ABC News. "One day she came home and we were in the house and there wasn't any music on and she was still dancing," he added. Watching her dance, Forgie captured a video on his phone, asked for Harr's approval and put it up on YouTube.

We have seen many tributes dedicated to Houston since she passed away last week, but this one is special because of the joy Harr projects while she dances. In memory of Houston, Harr says in the video, "She was one of a kind and wonderful and you just enjoyed every minute she was singing no matter what she sung."
Houston's music really has touched every man, woman, child and grandmother.

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – For years I've used VirtualBox to successfully run XP and Vista clients on my Ubuntu box, and am considering taking the next step to either Qemu/KVM or Xen. Have always toyed with the idea, but never made the switch because VirtualBox is so easy to use whereas KVM has always suffered from the typical Linux obscurity/learning curve. Reason: AFAIK VirtualBox is a type 2 virtualizer which runs on ring 1 whereas KVM and Xen are type 1 virtualizers running on ring 0. This allows KVM and Xen to at least theoretically pass through PCI devices to the virtualized client, thus bypassing the translation (Hardware)

Obamacare Induces Emergency Room Trauma
Three-quarters of the 2,099 doctors responding to the nationwide survey conducted by the American College of Emergency Physicians indicate they have seen an increase in emergency room (ER) visits since the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare, went into effect on January 1, 2014.
In the same survey, 28 percent of the respondents say ER use has "increased greatly."
What providers are witnessing daily in the ER is not what the Obama administration promised would happen, says Dr. Richard Armstrong, a surgeon who practices in Michigan and serves as a board member of the Docs4PatientCare Foundation.
"Obamacare obviously did nothing to reduce the incentive for patients to use the ER as their primary care doctor," Armstrong said.
All people make their choices based on incentives, and yet Obamacare did nothing to require co-pays from Medicaid patients, Armstrong says.
"It's not unusual to see a Medicaid patient who simply has a headache to come to the emergency room instead, because it won't cost them anything to get some Advil [there], which they could buy themselves at the drugstore across the street," Armstrong said.

James and Williams lead Cavs over Blazers 104-98
PORTLAND, Ore. The road was a bit smoother for the Cleveland Cavaliers in Portland.
After losing four of their past five road games, the Cavaliers held off the Trail Blazers 104-98 on Wednesday night at the Rose Garden.
LeBron James had 34 points and 14 assists, while Mo Williams added a season-high 33 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers. Cleveland made 11 of 19 3-point attempts in shooting 52.6 percent (41-of-78) from the field.
Coming off a loss at the Lakers, James said the Cavaliers have become adept at recouping.
"One thing I'm very excited about is the way we bounce back after a loss. We never let one game hang over our heads where we lose two or three. We always bounce back," James said. "We hate to lose."
Brandon Roy had 23 points for Portland. LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 and reserve center Joel Przybilla had 15 rebounds.
Cleveland, which led by 11 points in the first half, took a 68-59 lead when James hit two consecutive 3-pointers in the third quarter.
But Portland went ahead 82-81 midway through the fourth quarter on Roy's layup and free throw. Ben Wallace got the lead back for the Cavaliers with a put-back, and James hit a 3-pointer.
The Blazers stayed close, pulling within 92-88 on Greg Oden's pair of free throws.
But James hit another 3-pointer, and after Roy hit two foul shots but missed a key layup, Williams added another 3 to put Cleveland ahead 98-90 with 48.9 seconds left.
While the Cavaliers remain the league's only unbeaten team at home, the road has not been so kind. The latest loss came Monday at the Lakers, 105-88.
"Every guy on this team knows we're fighting for a championship. We gotta go out there every night and approach it that way," James said. "We can't afford to take a night off. We want to get better every night because we're fighting for something really big down the road."
Oden had 10 points and eight rebounds, short of the success he had Monday in Portland's 102-85 victory over Milwaukee when he had a season-high 24 points and 15 rebounds.
Oden got into foul trouble, collecting five by early in the fourth quarter.
The Cavaliers continued to play without starting center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was still nursing a sore left ankle but was expected back in about a week. The Cavaliers played 6-foot-11 Anderson Varejao at center.
The Blazers were without starting point guard Steve Blake, who injured his right shoulder last week. Sergio Rodriguez has started the past four games in his place.
"We just waited too long to get going. Maybe we were in awe of LeBron. I'm not sure what it was," Przybilla said. "We need to believe we're one of the best teams in the league and we can play with anybody."
Wally Szczerbiak hit a 3-pointer late in the first quarter to put the Cavaliers up 28-23, but Nicolas Batum hit a jumper at the end of the period to narrow it to 28-25.

Member of the Clarks Summit Arts Committee, a newly formed non-profit arts organization under the auspices of the Abington Professional and Business Association, invite anyone with a passion for art and music to see what's new at the downtown Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk May 10.
"Downtown Go Around" will be held in conjunction with the art walk, and Mari Walker and her fellow committee members explained the group's mission is to bring all forms of art into the art walk, offering eventgoers an evening of family fun through art, music and local seasonal vendors.
She said, "In an effort to increase the foot traffic for the art walk, we formed a committee to focus on other forms of art, as well as paintings, photos, etc. We are bringing live arts to our community each second Friday now."
Jaya Yoga owner, Hilary Steinberg, said, "We're all passionate about showcasing the talent that's here…people to sing and perform. It's a 'fun train,' and it's just starting to barrel down the tracks. Everyone is jumping on board and it's not just about business owners; it's about people who are involved in the community and who are bringing their ideas and their passions…"
Monthly themes are planned and May's theme is "Complements and Contrasts" with live musical performances at the Clarks Summit Borough Building (former firehouse on State Street) hosted by Maryellen Evers, featuring Jillian Gratz, Cocoa Lewis with Patrick, Gabby and Sophia, Some of the Boys from Babylon and the Q-Tones. The fun gets underway at 5 p.m.
To date, plans for the summer include "Rock Around the Town/Open Mic and Improv Night" in June; Bluegrass bands in July and Folk Circle in August.
Barry Kaplan, Everything Natural owner and committee member, said at a recent meeting, "By expanding upon the art walk and making it more encompassing, it will be more exciting. We want to reach out to people in neighboring towns and make it even more fun to come to Clarks Summit on Second Friday."
Additional information will be announced. Committee member Andrew Walker has set up a Facebook page, facebook.com/pages/Downtown-Go-Around

The cursed snow and rain
All through this trip there has been talk of Susa and the amazing gelato there by the boys. We had a wet night in France but then proceeded through the Southeastern part (Rhone-Alpes) to get to Lake Maggiore in Switzerland and Como in Italy but not before riding through exceptional, high elevation flatland's with rolling emerald green fields and roaming lifestock and dotted here and there with dense forests. This went into my top 5 rides ever. Thanks Dan!
I was so in love with the topography that I didn't stop once to take a darned photo but we did stop in a tiny town and have the weirdest donar kebab yet but in a lovely courtyard where two young boys looked up to no good.
As the day went by, we watched ominous clouds and then finally made it to a camp site called Gran Bosco that Dan and Danny have been to before where Max was kind enough to let me stay in a friend's trailer because I was too cold to camp. He even hooked up the electricity and the blankets were so heavy I barely moved all night and enjoyed hearing the wind howl.
My home for the next 12 hours.
thought it worth mentioning the bathrooms too....now we all know to use flip flops in public showers but honestly, 90% of the facilities we've used in the campsites were cleaner than most hotels I've stayed at.
So we woke up and with Max's help checked some webcams on the highest pass in Europe and it looked clear. Col de I'Iseran and the St Bernard and some other pass that escapes me now.
My favorite photo of the trip.
Not really, but this lake was beautiful.
Riding through these passes was scary as all heck. It was freezing. I had no heated grips. I was wearing summer gear and I have Raynaud's. I was screwed. My hands froze so completely that at one point we had to stop and warm my hands on Dan's headers. I burned my gloves but they were smoking enough before I burned my hands to stop in time.
I was so glad to be with them. Dan has been an excellent leader and all along this snow covered ride kept saying all the right things like "the tires are making good contact with the ground" that inspired confidence in me. We saw other mis-guided riders (they probably saw the same lying webcam we did and also decided to do the pass) and we eventually made it through and all I can say is NEVER AGAIN.
The last pass of the day.
Finally got back down to lower elevation and made it to our last camp site together on Lake Maggiore.
It was beautiful but those clouds looked ominous. Remember we are going on day 4 in the rain.
We took off from camp in the rain, and rode in the rain, all the way to Lake Como but thankfully the rain stopped just long enough for us to see Bellagio.
All of the hype of the beauty of this lake was an understatement. I was giddy with gratitude that we made it.
Our time together was coming to an end. This was the point that Adam was to ride with me back towards Serbia/Bulgaria but I was faced with doing it alone.
I coordinated with my Friend Fred who lives in Mulhouse France to meet in the Grindelwald, but we had a long hot tunnel (gotthard) to go through, and since all of us were cold and wet, we were happy for the 100+ degrees inside.
After that it was a turn off to take Sustenpass to Grindelwald and the boys kept going north back to Germany. I was scared to be on my own. It was far from the plan for me to be alone for the next 10 days and stupid really but what choice did I have.
If it wasn't freezing and snowing and raining, I would have been fine. Well I got all the way to the top of Sustenpass only to find it was closed. (Dan's maps made it look like a valley pass or I would have never tried) So what came next was 4+ hours of freezing rain all the way around to get to my destination that was only 30 mins away from the pass. Thank God I had Danny's GPS that they installed on my bike so I didn't get lost or spend too much time pouring over maps in freezing rain.
But when I say I am going to be somewhere, come freezing rain and snow...I'll be there. I arrived at the campsite and they didn't have cabins and I actually burst into tears. I was so cold. My friend wasn't there and I didn't know where to go.
I ended up down the street at a clean hostel that the campsite managers helped me get settled into and this was my home for a couple warm nights.
Fred walked in a couple hours later, a little wet and cold but not to bad and we went into town and had some excellent Aberlour 12 (we tried the 15 year and found the 12 to be more to our liking) then had fondue (with bacon) and turned in.
The next morning....I woke up to this! The North Face.
Oops,skipped something very important. Breakfast. All you an eat. Milk from happy cows. Water from the Eiger. Apples from the local orchards.
We decided to spend the $200 bucks and take the top of the world train ride through the North Face and this was worth every penny.
View of the glacier from the top.
And I thought I was cold the day before. My hair was blowing straight up.
Ice tunnels.
And sculptures.
Majestic views in every direction and the sun came through the clouds for a bit
Now, I met Fred at a bar in San Francisco and what made our friendship stick was his 20 motorcycle collection that he casually mentioned.
I also took on a stowaway and enjoyed some champagne before we made our way back down the mountain.
Went for lunch. Excellent asparagus cream soup.
And great sausage.
I said my goodbye to Fred and went back to the hostel for one last night of comfort before pushing on to Venice Italy.
I had some friends in Milan that I could have stayed with for a night (riders I met on my ride through Turkey) but decided to just push through....in the freakin rain again)
I arrived at the campsite near Venice which was actually a mud hole from all the rain and got a nasty smelling little bungalow but some good pasta and went to sleep.
Took a bus into Venice the next day and started it off well with a pastry.
Cool doorbells here.
San Marcos square
Loved these pink glass lights
Stopped for an overpriced lunch in an outside cafe where I asked for prosecco with a dash of limoncello in it (a guess a big faux pas here in Italy) and found this pink pigeon.
My yucky 15 euro salad.
I found a store with smurfs! I collected these when I was a kid.
Lots of courtyards
Went back to the campsite, had dinner and prepared to leave the next day for Croatia.
