"Antarctica" Antarctica by toonsarah
Antarctica Travel Guide: 1,213 reviews and 2,921 photos
We chose a trip on one of the larger cruise ships - it may feel less close to nature, and you have to wait longer for your turn to go ashore, but on the other hand there's plenty to do on board while you wait, and the costs are considerably lower. And as this may well be the most expensive trip you'll go on, that's a major consideration.
Step on shore anywhere and you'll immediately be hit by the sound, sight and incredible smell of the penguins! They look just as great as they do on TV, but no nature programme can prepare you for that smell - although if you ate nothing but fish and spent most of the day standing in one spot, you might make your patch rather smelly too!
We were told by our guides to obey the 5 metre rule: don't go any closer than that to any wildlife (and 15 metres from a leopard seal). But no one's taught the penguins that rule, and they'll come close enough that you'll get some great shots. Some even posed for us!
Possibly the most amazing thing about the Antarctic is the colour of the icebergs. You thought ice was white, right? Wrong :)
The icebergs are streaked with all shades of blue and turquoise, as you can see from the photo. I never tired of watching them. They drift along quite slowly and looking very stable, then can suddenly flip on their side. We learnt that this is caused by the ice below the water line being gradually eroded and changing the balance.
It was also fun to watch the penguins sliding off them onto the sea. Quite a few times too we saw a leopard seal basking on the ice, looking much more benign than their fiercesome reputation would suggest.
- Pros:Getting closer to nature than you ever thought possible
- Cons:The cost!
- In a nutshell:Dramatic scenery and incredibly cute penguins!

Sarah got through quite a bit of your page tonight but bed calls so will return. Up to your usual high standard and lots of great photos.
Wow - only took me 5 years to find these!? Great reviews and wonderful shots; hope The Husband and I are lucky enough to put Antarctica on our map someday.
Hello, Sarah! It was very interesting to read about your great cruise! Thanks for sharing!)
Well, cruising is definitely my cup of tea and this is definitely a wonderful page!! Going to Antartica via stops in South America remains near the top of my travel destinations wish list! Thanks for the wonderful view into your journey.
This is great!
"Snowman" looks more like a snow-penguin. Saw nature show with penguins shooting out of the water at astonishing heights due to the speed they manage under water. Glad the whaling *mostly* has stopped. Wish the rest of it would as well.
Hello, Sarah! It was great to be there! Such a wonderful voyage! Thanks for your detailed story! ><><><><
What a great holiday this was! a trip of a lifetime! Sounded like you had a fab time, and saw a lot of wildlife. Thanks for the great tour!
'Toon sister o' mine.... we need to talk about Antarctica. We are seriously thinking about doing this trip next December or January (14 mos away) There is so much to ask. :)
Nice photos and very informative tips. I would like to go there in the future, but I many other places are tempting me. Difficult choices..

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant for the first time a week ago and it was the most stressful week of my life. After intercourse I began to bleed and cramp and it never stopped. I prayed that I would keep this baby and everything would be ok but after not seeing anything on the u/s twice and learning that my levels went down today I have to face the fact that I am having a MMC. I have to go in for preop for a D&C tomorrow and I am scared. I have never been in the hosp before. My bf is dissappointed that were arent having a baby and is trying to comfort me but he reallly doesnt understand. I just feel like a failure. I found out there is a cyst on my ovary so that is another things to worry about since I havent passed anything yet on my own. This was a surprise and being in grad school I know we should wait, but I have this feeling that I want to try again just to prove I am not a failure at this.;(
My First Time

I'm sorry that you're going through this with all of us... :( The doctor I saw told me to wait before trying again, but I don't think I can. I just want to be happily pregnant again! I'm sorry that you have a cyst on your ovary, but I know that many women have had them, and go on to have successful pregnancies. I hope that your D&C isn't too hard on you... Good luck to you!
#2- 9/16/12 ( . ) ( . ) Planned NUCB, had an unassisted homebirth :)
Please don't blame yourself. It wasn't anything you did and you're not broken because this happened. Human life really is so amazing and fragile that I'm amazed it works out so well so often. So many things can go wrong and your body knew when things were not going as they should.
I'm so sorry you have to experience this awful pain. I hope your procedure went well and you are able to rest for a while.
Wanting to try again is a normal response to loss. I hope you are able to have a babe in arms soon.
Mom to 8 on earth and 9 in heaven. Blessed with a baby girl February 21, 2014!
Praying for a take-home baby in September.

Joint Chiefs chair cites military sex abuse crisis
Thursday - 5/16/2013, 1:00pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top U.S. military officer says women in uniform are losing confidence that the problem of sexual assault in the armed forces can be solved.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, says that diminishing confidence is a crisis for the military.
Dempsey spoke about the problem Wednesday during a flight from Europe to Washington. His remarks were reported by the Pentagon's internal news service.
Dempsey suggests that a deepening of the sexual assault problem may be linked to the strains of war, though he says that's not an excuse.
A Pentagon report estimates that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, based on survey results, out of 1.4 million in the services.

NEW YORK (AP) - A painting by German abstract artist Gerhard Richter that's owned by "king of hedge funds" Steven Cohen is going on the auction block in New York City.
Christie's says "Prag 1883" is estimated to sell "in the region of $15 million" on Nov. 14.
The title of the painting depicting swirling bright yellow, blue and red colors refers to the birthplace and birth date of Franz Kafka. Kafka was one of Richter's favorite authors.
Before it was acquired by Cohen, the monumental 1983 work was owned by the Duke of Bavaria.
Cohen is a self-made billionaire with a world-renowned collection of modern and contemporary art. He's the founder of SAC Capital in Stamford, Conn.
The current Richter auction record is $21.8 million for his "Abstract Picture (7938-3)."

Hollande: I will always remain a friend of Israel
French president promised Sunday to take a tough stance toward Iran and said his country will not tolerate the proliferation of nuclear arms as he began a three-day visit to Israel.
"France will not tolerate nuclear proliferation," Agence France-Presse quoted President Francois Hollande as saying in a speech on the red carpet shortly after landing at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv.
"As long as we are not certain that Iran has decided to give up on nuclear weapons, we will continue with all our demands and with sanctions," Hollande added.
Israel and Western powers suspect Iran's uranium enrichment program is part of a covert drive to acquire a nuclear weapons capability, an allegation Tehran vehemently denies.
Hollande's vowing a tougher position on a nuclear Iran was sure to be welcomed by his Israeli hosts, who have voiced concerns that an emerging deal with global powers gives Iran too much without getting enough in return, according to the Associated Press.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned a proposal, to be discussed in a third round of talks between six world powers and Tehran on Nov. 20-23, to ease economic sanctions on Iran if it suspends parts of its nuclear program.
France is a member of the six global powers conducting negotiations with Iran.
"When France defends its positions in the discussions under way, it of course takes into account the issues which you have explained but it is also with an awareness of what is at stake for the planet," AFP quoted the French president as saying.
"France considers nuclear proliferation to be a menace, a danger, and in Iran particularly a menace to Israel, to the region and clearly a menace to the entire world," he added.
At the airport ceremony, attended by Netanyahu and Israeli President Shimon Peres, Hollande said France was taking Israel's concerns into account.
"I will always remain a friend of Israel," Reuters quoted Hollande as saying in Hebrew
Top Headlines
M.Hollande, vous etes un hypocrite vendu a un faux etat
Hollande may well always be a friend of Israel, but will Israel, no friend of France, by the way, always be the friend of Hollande?
"French president promised Sunday to take a tough stance toward Iran and said his country will not tolerate the proliferation of nuclear arms as he began a three-day visit to Israel."
.. which just happens to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East.
Ironic! Interestingly, Israel's also the only state in the world repeatedly threatened with complete genocidal annhiilation by its neighbors.
Even better, it's the only state that, despite being a democracy, is constantly condemned at the United Nations, while many other nations who completely disregard human rights get off scot free---or get coddled and "threatened" with talks & endless negotiations.

On February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Fla., George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old boy. Zimmerman, 28, a neighborhood watch "captain," says he was acting in self-defense, and — incredibly — Zimmerman has yet to be arrested or charged with a crime.
However, thanks to the organizing efforts of Mr. Martin's parents, civil rights groups [7], media commentaries [8], and concerned citizens [9], our latest racialized miscarriage of criminal justice is now getting the widespread attention that it deserves.
On Monday, the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it would launch an independent investigation [10] into the causes and circumstances of Mr. Martin's death.
Many important commentaries have been written about Mr. Martin's tragic death — in particular, Mark Jefferson's piece [11] on the Urban Cusp merits special attention.
My aim in writing about Mr. Martin today is threefold:
First, Christians ought to lament publicly when a young black man receives a death-dealing blow — or in this case, gunshot — from an unjustifiable use of force. The occasion for lament intensifies when one considers that local law enforcement, as of today [12], has neither arrested nor charged Zimmerman.
This apparent disregard for one of our most cherished legal precepts — equal justice under the law — is a principal reason why Mr. Martin's family, along with hundreds of thousands of citizens across this nation, are protesting and petitioning [13] on his behalf. While all of the relevant facts of the situation have yet to be fully sorted, it seems highly probable that engaging an unarmed teenager with deadly force did, indeed, exceed any legal appeal to self-defense.
Lament, as Old Testament scholar Walter Bruggemann notes, is a profound, prophetic indication that something is out of joint socially — a visible acknowledgement that God's just and peaceable dream of shalom has been shattered on Earth.
Speaking frankly, a multiracial lament concerning Mr. Martin's slaying might help reduce the cynicism many black and brown Christians harbor about where racial justice stands within evangelical movements for racial reconciliation.
Second, Mr. Martin's parents have started a petition [14] that merits signing. I encourage you to read about the particulars of this case and consider offering your support.
Third, if you reside in the Greater New York City area, I invite you to attend "A Million Hoody March [15]" at 6 pm TONIGHT in New York City's Union Square.
The hoody signifies Mr. Martin's attire at the time of his death.
In the case of Trayvon Martin, the moral arc of Florida's criminal justice system is bending towards injustice. We can — if we are willing — play a part in tilting it towards justice.

What is an object? A property? A method?
Objects have properties and methods and generate events that you can respond to (or ignore) if you choose. An object is a thing such as a button or a text box. Visual Basic allows you to create your own new object types by creating a class module. Properties are characteristics of the object. Methods are actions that can be performed by a class of object.

… I was arrested on May 11, 1970, in Sao Paulo, on my way to dinner with a young lady I had recently met… She had been arrested several days previously and violently tortured and taken to Operacion Bandeirantes… With four armed policemen we went to OBAN headquarters. During the journey [one] ordered the young lady to show me her hands so that I 'could have an idea of what awaited me.' They… were handcuffed… greatly swollen and covered with dark purple hematomas.
He's a Happening
April 01, 1966
Robert Kennedy is on to something. He hovers over it like a pig in the Perigord sniffing a truffle. It is just below the surface; he can't quite see it; he doesn't know its size or shape or worth or even what it's called. He only knows it's there, and he is going to get it. Where does he look? Among the grape-pickers on strike in central California, in Cloth Market Square in Cracow, on the Ole Miss campus, in a Senate hearing room. And always with the same single-minded, almost frightening intensity.

- Mandated vacation. Who wouldn't like the sound of that? Well Computer Sciences
Corporation isn't going that far but it's strongly suggesting their employees take
between one and three days of vacation before July 3, which ends their fiscal
quarter. It's not altruism at work, but a sincere request to help the company meet
its profitability goals. According to the
Washington Business Journal, only some divisions of the Falls Church-based
government contractor issued a memo about vacation time. (Washington Business
- The Veterans Affairs Department says it's contacted about 70,000 veterans
across the country to get them off of wait lists and into clinics. According to
the VA, the number of appointments has increased by almost 200,000 between May 15
and June 1. This information is part of VA's bi
monthly data updates. On Wednesday, Acting Secretary Sloan Gibson revealed
that about 10 percent of veterans seeking medical care at VA hospitals and clinics
have to wait at least 30 days for an appointment. That's more than twice the
percentage of veterans as originally stated. (Veterans Affairs)
- The Supreme Court hands public employee whistleblowers a victory. The court
overturned the firing of an Alabama community college professor. He'd testified in
a local court against a no-show state lawmaker on the school payroll. The court
ruled Edward Lane was protected from
retaliation by the First Amendment right of free speech. The ruling ran
against precedent that public employees are not protected when divulging
information they learn at work. But Justice Sonia Sotomayor writes, Lane's
testimony was constitutionally protected because he was speaking as a citizen on a
matter of public concern. (Associated Press)
- The IRS wins an important Supreme Court victory. Justices rule that taxpayers
receiving a summons from the IRS don't get an automatic right to challenge the
agency's motives in court. The Wall
Street Journal reports, the Supreme Court justices unanimously upheld a lower
court ruling. But Justice Elena Kagan says taxpayers can still get a court hearing
if they can name "specific facts or circumstances plausibly raising an inference
of bad faith" by the IRS. The case concerned an investment group which claimed the
IRS was retaliating against it for refusing to give the IRS more time to
investigate its members.(Wall Street Journal)
- Dozens of employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are
under monitoring for possible anthrax exposure. The CDC says some 75
people are receiving antibiotics just in case. In a statement, the agency says
researchers in a biosafety lab were preparing anthrax samples to be shipped to
three other labs with lower safety ratings. The purpose was to test detection
methods. But the researchers didn't properly neutralize the samples before moving
them. They ended up being handled by people without proper protection gear. Two of
the labs were decontaminated because CDC officials worry the live anthrax may have
been sprayed as part of the experiment. The incident occurred at the Roybal Campus
in Atlanta.(CDC)
- A House Appropriations Subcommittee is showing displeasure with the IRS the
only way it can -- by proposing to cut the agency's funding back to 2008 levels,
GovExec reports. The initial version of the 2015 financial services and general
government appropriations bill does just that. It cuts $341 million from this
year's IRS spending levels, bringing the total to just under $11 billion. The bill
also has restrictions. It would bar the IRS from several activities relating tax
exempt political groups and it would place restrictions on employee bonuses and
conference spending. (GovExec)
- The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to hit a Chinese company
with the biggest fine in the agency's history. CTS
Technology will face a fine of $35 million for what the FCC says is illegal
marketing of GPS signal jamming gear. Travis LeBlanc is the acting chief of the
FCC's enforcement bureau. He says jammers are illegal, in part, because they pose
a threat to first responders who use GPS. He says the company sold high-powered
jammers to undercover FCC buyers. LeBlanc says its marketing materials falsely
claimed the jammers received approval from the FCC.(FCC)
- The Army is giving women access to 33,000 more jobs, the
Army Times reports, Army Secretary John McHugh signed off on the decision in a new
memo. Women still cannot fight on the front lines, but they can fill previously
denied positions in infantry battalion headquarters. The positions include
chaplain, intelligence analyst, healthcare specialist, paralegal, signal sergeant
and supply sergeant.(Army Times)

Has anyone used removable wall art before? I had an old wall paper which I got removed. Now I am planning to put removable wall stickers instead. I even zeroed in on one. http://www.voilastickers.com/Wall-Decal-Beneath-Bamboos. Are these stickers easy to remove as claimed? Has any one of you used this before?
I have used such stickers once and when I changed the apartment, I romoved them. It is not an issue removing these stickers, the only problem you face is it will be harder to stick them somewhere elst. So if you are buing some expensive wall art, it is recommended you use them carefully.

Posted on Mar 1, 2012
I was recently working on a project wherein I needed to present a number padded on the left with zeroes. Most languages have some sort of formatter method which would allow you to do that, but not JavaScript. Instead of following the path of other languages, JavaScript opts to give the developer opportunities to be creative.
After a quick search, I ran across a very elegant solution from Pau Sanchez which I have turned into a the following function and added some smarts to allow the padding to be changed as necessary.
var lpad = function(value, padding) {
var zeroes = "0";
for (var i = 0; i < padding; i++) { zeroes += "0"; }
return (zeroes + value).slice(padding * -1);
Note that this doesn't account for numbers which are longer than the padding value; they get cut off. Most of the time you deal with left padded numbers, you're dealing with a fixed width and this isn't going to be a problem. I'll leave it as an exercise for the user, if this is not the current case for you.
Here it is again in CoffeeScript:
lpad = (value, padding) ->
zeroes = "0"
zeroes += "0" for i in [1..padding]
(zeroes + value).slice(padding * -1)

Clarification from Damballa
This letter is in regard to Grzegorz Landecki's "Detecting Botnets" article from the January 2009 issue of Linux Journal, from Paul Royal, Principal Researcher at Damballa, Inc.—Ed.
As the individual who discovered the Kraken botnet, I wanted to clarify some inaccuracies that were stated regarding its discovery and handling. In addition to these clarifications, I would welcome any conversations about Damballa, its processes and Kraken findings if Mr Landecki is interested in further discussion.
From the Linux Journal article:
"To simplify, Damballa discovered (probably during a security audit) a new malware with hard-coded addresses (URLs) for zombie control servers (CCs—computers that manage tasks for zombie machines and all infected computers report to them)."
Damballa first discovered Kraken through network anomalies observed on a DynDNS provider's network with which it collaborates to shut down C&C servers. Damballa originally thought Kraken was HacDef (a well-known type of malware used by a botnet documented in 2006; see www.avira.com/en/threats/section/fulldetails/id_vir/2900/bds_hacdef.fv.1.a.html) and did not have a malware sample for Kraken until late March 2008. Damballa only discovered that the botnet was not HacDef after it located a malware sample matching the network anomaly. That others in industry thought the botnet was Bobax, an older botnet (and perhaps ancestor of Kraken), speaks to the general difficulty of new botnet identification.
From the article: "Damballa also found that some of those hard-coded addresses were not registered in a DNS service (the botnet probably was tested at that time, and the authors were preparing to launch it later)."
Kraken malware does not use hard-coded domain names at all; it autogenerates them. The algorithm used to generate domain names has been documented by both ThreatExpert (blog.threatexpert.com/2008/04/kraken-changes-tactics.html) and TippingPoint (dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2008/04/28/owning-kraken-zombies).
From the article: "Damballa registered those domains as its own and ended up controlling quite a large botnet for research."
Damballa never "controlled" Kraken; because Kraken malware generates domains, the botmasters simply registered domains that would be subsequently autogenerated (Damballa could not register them all) and resumed its operation.
From the article: "It hasn't contacted any security company about the methods of infection it discovered."
In early April 2008, Damballa released instructions for remediating Kraken compromises (www.damballa.com/downloads/brochures/Kraken_Remediation.pdf) and a technical whitepaper/industry response (www.damballa.com/downloads/press/Kraken_Response.pdf) that included Kraken C&C domains that companies/organizations could use to prevent compromised systems from talking to the Kraken control servers.
Damballa (who codeveloped and administrates the malfease malware repository—www.malfease.oarci.net) also shared malware samples (that could be downloaded by researchers/practitioners) with SANS ISC (isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=4256) and OffensiveComputing (www.offensivecomputing.net/?q=node/699).
From the article: "It hasn't published any details of the exploits used to any bugtrack, nor has it contacted any vendors to alert them of the issue."
Kraken didn't use any exploit to propagate; there were no vendors to
contact. Like Storm, Kraken propagated through social engineering (e-mail
and instant message).

Tech Tip Tuning
I like to read the Tech Tips, as I did with David S. Sinck's tip "Treating Compressed and Uncompressed Data Sources the Same" (LJ, December 2008, page 56). Here are some remarks and suggestions.
I strongly recommend using double quotes. The presented solution silently misses all files with one or more whitespaces in its name.
The only purpose of the line:
F=$(echo $1 | perl -pe 's/.gz$//')
is to remove the last file extension from the filename. This is done with Perl, an interpreter for a language much more powerful than Bash, a subshell and a pipe. There's too much effort to remove a few characters (in every loop cycle!). The first two lines of the function could be replaced by a parameter substitution, which costs nearly nothing. So, with quoting, we get the following:
function data_source () { local F=${1%.gz} # remove file extension if [[ -f $F ]] ; then cat "${F}" elif [[ -f $F.gz ]] ; then gunzip --stdout "${F}.gz" fi } # ------- end of function data_source ------- for file in * ; do data_source "$file" | ... done

Don't complain to me, everything you do is what you make it and if you don't get that we probably won't get along. You'll start in on something and I'll tell you to suck it up.
People say they can't read me, so I'll break it down a bit...
If I rated you "highly" don't get too excited, it's probably because...
I'm interested.
You're picture/s made me laugh out loud, or smile. Whatever.
I want to get lost in a National Forest with you and bottle of Jameson.
You're pretty hot.
I just wanted to say "hi."
If I didn't rate you "highly" it's probably because
I'm not interested.
Nothing I saw made me laugh, or smile.
You have a picture of your car/cat/super hero/faceless bare chest.
You look like if I got lost with you and bottle of Jameson in a National Forest you'd be complaining by minute 15. It's cool, really, I'll find our way. I got skillz yo.
Things I've learned about myself in 2013:
If you get wasted and ask me repeatedly to punch you in the face, I will. But only to shut you up.
I can work up to 22 hours in one day without complaining.
The utility blade I carry is prettier than yours (IT'S PINK!)
I can hustle 8 miles in sandals before my feet start to hurt, 11 before they go numb.
I can drink more whiskey than you...probably.
To be continued.
People have called me "graceful" "ridiculous" "elegant" "outrageous" "a sweetheart" "a fucking bitch" "fabulous" "resourceful" "resiliant" and a slew of others, but those are my favorites.

IRS' Year 2000 Efforts:
Status and Remaining Challenges
T-GGD-99-35: Published: Feb 24, 1999. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) year 2000 efforts and the remaining challenges IRS faces in making its information systems year 2000 compliant, focusing on: (1) the extent to which IRS monitors the year 2000 status of its mission-critical systems in their entirety; (2) whether IRS met the January 31, 1999, completion goal for the areas that it monitors--application software, systems software, hardware, and telecommunications networks; (3) the status of two remaining, critical year 2000 tasks--conducting year 2000 testing and completing 36 contingency plans; and (4) the fact that other business initiatives are creating competing demands on staff needed for year 2000 efforts.
GAO noted that: (1) a complete picture cannot be provided of the year 2000 status of IRS' 133 mission-critical systems because IRS does not report year 2000 status for these systems in their entirety; (2) instead, IRS monitors the year 2000 status of the components of an information system, such as the application software, systems software, and hardware, for each of its three types of computers--mainframes, minicomputers/file servers, and personal computers; (3) IRS reports that it met the January 31, 1999, completion goal for some of the areas that it monitors but not for others; (4) IRS reports that it met the January 1999 completion goal for: (a) correcting application software; (b) upgrading telecommunications networks; and (c) fully implementing one of its two major system replacement projects; (5) despite significant progress since GAO's testimony in May, IRS did not meet the goal for: (a) upgrading systems software and hardware for its three types of computers; and (b) fully implementing the other major system replacement project; (6) as a result of not meeting the goal for upgrading systems software and hardware, some changes will not be tested until late in 1999, reducing the time available to make corrections before January 2000; (7) for the replacement project, some service center staffs will have no experience before 2000 using the new system to process peak filing season volumes of remittances; (8) IRS must conduct the year 2000 end-to-end testing of its mission-critical systems; (9) testing is to begin in April 1999; (10) the second critical task is to develop 36 contingency plans that IRS has determined are needed to address various failure scenarios for its core business processes; (11) IRS is developing these plans in response to GAO's June 1998 report; (12) IRS has delayed the completion dates so that the first set of plans are to be completed by March 31, 1999, and the second set of plans by May 31, 1999; (13) as IRS continues its year 2000 efforts, it will face the challenge of how to address the competing demands on its staff; (14) these competing demands are created by IRS' other major business initiatives, such as implementing tax law changes and completing the non-year 2000 portions of one of IRS' major system replacement projects; and (15) to address these competing demands, in the past several months, IRS has: (a) transferred staff from other areas; (b) hired additional staff; and (c) delayed some activities.

As a life-long WWE fan and owner of over 900 action figures, Carter says the company's shows have been "on repeat" for ten years and that fans deserve change. The football-player-turned-grappler wants to be the one to bring change to WWE, even going as far to put his job on the line.
"I am here to bring change to #wwe to give power to the people instead of telling you what to love #TACRevolution," he wrote to a fan.
"Not one person in developmental or #wwe have the accolades that I do, yet they act like they are deserved something. #wwe you deserve more! Same generic cookie cutter wrestlers. ONE speaks out and he's a REVOLUTION starter? Change is coming! #wwe you deserve it! #TAC REVOLUTION."
Carter continued, "#wwe you deserve a REAL REVOLUTION. A revolution is not taking the mic from @JohnCena FOLLOW ME! I ill bring you to a REVOLUTION! #TAC.
"Everybody is afraid of getting fired and that's why they play it safe! Thats why what you #wwe fans get is all the same old stuff
"Don't you #wwe fans want something new? A real revolution? A real change? Demand it. I will lead you #TAC revolution.
"not afraid to get fired. It's happened before. But if I don't attempt to make a change in what I love, that means I failed all of you #wwe
"I'm sure right now people are squirming in their seats in Connecticut! But we all know what needs to be done #wwe #TAC revolution follow me!
"Don't all of you want change?Do you feel like you've been watching the same show on repeat since '02?Get behind me and we will make a change.
"I can't lower your taxes, or bring you health care. But what I can do is bring change to what you love, #wwe #TACRevolution
"No one will stand up for what they believe in because they are a puppet to the "machine" I have cut my own strings to bring you change! #wwe."

Newfoundland Anniversary
Jarge was out shopping at the mall when he met his friend Kevin outside the jeweler's.
Kevin noticed that Jarge had a small gift-wrapped box in his hand.
"So what've you just picked up, Jarge?" Kevin asks.
"Well, now that you've been asking," replies Jarge,
"it's me and the missus' anniversary tomorrow.
And when I asked her this morning what she wanted for our special day she said,
Oh, I don't know, dear, just give me something with a lot of diamonds.
"So what'd you get her?" Kevin asks.
Jarge replied, smiling, "I bought her a deck of cards."
And that's when the fight began. :rofl:
But there were a lot of hearts, too. :cool:

|Hair care
|Godefroy Manufacturing Company, 1947
Area served
TRESemmé is a brand of haircare products first manufactured by Godefroy Manufacturing Company in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, starting in 1947. It was named after renowned hair care expert Edna Emmé.[1] The brand name is a phonetic translation of "well-loved" in French, (très-aimé). The product line was initially marketed only to salons. The TRESemmé brand was purchased by Alberto in 1968, that was subsequently taken over by Unilever in 2010.[2]
For over 60 years, TRESemmé have used their range of hair styling products to bring the salon-feel to homes all over the world.[3]
TRESemmé is dedicated to providing all women with stylist quality products. From their origins in salons, TRESemmé believe that women should be able to look "fabulous" without spending too much money. [4]
TRESemmé was launched in 1947 by Godefroy Manufacturing, and was bought in 1968 by Alberto-Culver, a leading manufacturer of hair and skincare products.The original intention was to only distribute within salons, however as the product line became so popular it was marketed in supermarkets and pharmacies.[5]
Alberto-Culver was then bought by Unilever, an Anglo–Dutch multinational consumer goods company. The product line was then further developed as more products were added. [6]
Product Range[edit]
TRESemmé believe that everyone's hair is unique, and so create different formulas for different types of hair. [7] Products include Shampoos & Conditioners, Dry Shampoos, Mousse, Gels, Hairsprays, Crème & Milk, and other styling sprays. TRESemmé products are all formulated with vitamins and plant extracts to create more manageable healthier looking hair by strengthening, repairing and enhancing hair.[8]
A tool called "PROfiler" available on the TRESemmé website allows consumers to find the right products for their hair. [9]
Advertisement campaigns include 'Professional, Affordable',[10] spending an estimated $17 million on advertising by 2004.[11] TRESemmé's products are used in hair salons across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Asia, in particular for hair repair treatment from heat damage mostly caused by hair ironing and blowdrying.[12]
Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week[edit]
Although TRESemmé products are widely available to the consumer, the brand is also used by professionals for use on clients. TRESemmé was the official hair care sponsor of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2014 and has been since 2006. [13]
Being the official sponsor allowed the company to provide customers with all-access information to the fashion show. TRESemmé created a team called "Runway Insiders" who gave women a personal point of view of the latest trends and how they can achieve these looks at home.[14]
A member of this team was American model and DJ, Harley Viera-Newton.[15] Harley posted video diaries, filmed by online fashion website The Coveteur, which included her perfecting hair techniques to giving front row access to designers shows.[16]
An advertising scheme used by TRESemmé was to be able to create your own TRESemmé Billboard in Times Square.[17]
TRESemmé has won many awards for its range of products, including the following:
-Cosmopolitan Beauty Award 2010[18]
-Allure Best of Beauty Award 2010 [19]
-Cosmopolitan Beauty Award 2011[20]
-Elle Beauty Award 2011[20]

Purists hate these kinds of statistics because they see hockey as a game won by heart and perseverance. They would say that stupid facts like this one are a mere coincidence, that hard work can overcome the odds. However, I think there is something to take away from the fact that, since 1987 when the NHL began using the best-of-seven format in the playoffs, no Stanley Cup winner has had back-to-back Game 7's in rounds one and two.
When I first read this stat, it brought me back to an interview I had seen with Wayne Gretzky during the regular season. He was reflecting on the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty years, and saying how important it was to have at least one relatively easy series in the opening rounds because the playoffs are such a war of attrition. He alluded to the quick dispatch of Edmonton's opponents in 1987 and 1988. Because their series ended quickly, he and his teammates got the all important extra rest and time for recovery.
But here we are, with both the Rangers and Capitals playing in their 14th game of this postseason for the chance to move on to the Eastern Conference finals. Their present series against each other has been incredibly hard fought, and so were their previous series against the Senators and Bruins, respectively.
Going back to Gretzky's point, will these teams run out of gas because of the enormous amount of energy they have expended so far? Let's tackle a few of the pressing issues, and I'll try my best to answer this question at the end.
My biggest pet peeve recently is sports personalities who generally focus on the NFL, NBA, and MLB, but feel compelled to talk hockey because it is the NHL playoffs. These talking heads love to say that everything that happens in the hockey postseason depends on goaltending. Well, goaltending is not the be-all-end-all of playoff success; there are a ton of other elements that go into a team advancing through each round. A goaltender can steal games, but a team effort is what wins a series. With all that said, the biggest issue by far heading into Game 7 is goaltending!
Henrik Lundqvist has been very good. But when you watch Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick in the Western Conference, Lundqvist's game is not on par with theirs right now. Holtby has been his equal, and Ovie picked the right part of the net to shoot at when he fired home the first goal Tuesday. Speaking of Ovie…
What a crazy hockey season it's been. Nearly three months ago, it was former Capital, and current goaltending coach, Olaf Kolzig who suggested that hockey was not Ovie's top priority, that he needed to be less concerned with his rock star status. Well, that seemed to wake Ovie up, because when the Capitals were fighting for that last playoff spot, he heated up in a big way and willed them into the postseason.
Then, Kolzig made the astute observation that Lundqvist can be beaten high- glove-side, and the Capitals have taken full advantage. Peppering that corner of the net, they are forcing him into facing his tiny weakness.
Kolzig seems to be the most unsung hero of the Capitals' success. He should be given credit for the part his two crucial insights have played in their season's turnaround and ascension. Also, how did no one in the Atlantic Division previously figure this out? All season Lundqvist has seen tons of rubber, but clearly not enough towards his high glove-side. When watching where Washington has beaten him on open shots, nearly all of them have come at the hands of his glove. Kind of astounding no other goaltending coach picked this up.
Interesting wrinkle to throw out there. Too many people are saying this series will be won by the big offensive stars like Ovie, Gaborik, Backstrom, Richards, Semin, and Callahan. I disagree. I see Game 7 determined by the defensive studs both teams have.
Mike Green has completely regained his form as a top-end defensive option, and Jon Carlson, Karl Alzner, and Dennis Wideman have been terrific. Even the less celebrated warrior, Roman Hamrlik, has been quite good. Going into the series, I saw the defensive six being a big edge for New York because Wideman was abysmal in the first round, and Mike Green hadn't showed that Norris Trophy-caliber play in quite some time. The Capitals were relying heavily on Clarkson and Alzner, and I was doubtful as to whether they could carry them through.
With Jeff Schultz filling in nicely as the Capitals' sixth defenseman, and John Tortorella constantly wavering on what defenseman he can and cannot trust, the teams are dead even right now. Possibly, even Washington has the edge.
Something that should not be discounted: How the hell are some of the defensemen going to walk after this series finishes? Ryan McDonagh has played 354 minutes so far. Dan Girardi has played 361. Michael Del Zotto has played 296. Marc Staal is at 329. Washington's D's total minutes are pretty grizzly, too. This will definitely be a factor for the eventual winner.
Home ice for the Rangers is huge because when Ovie and Backstrom are out there, Tortorella has the final line change. Going into the postseason, if I had been held at gunpoint and forced to pick my Stanley Cup finalists, I would have said New York versus St. Louis. Well, that clearly didn't work out in the West, but I still think the Rangers have some magic in them. This team has a toughness that has gotten them through a grueling season and nearly won them the President's Trophy. Lundqvist does not necessarily need to outplay Holtby, but he definitely needs to match him. I think the Blueshirts carry it home.
Rangers 3, Caps 2.

Comments about MVP Greatest Metal Riffs of the 80s (DVD):
I recently purchased this DVD, I was very disappointed. The teacher goes extremely too fast and he doen't even tell you which riff he is playing. The DVD did not come with a book to follow along with, so it is extremely difficult to keep up. There is not a slower version of him playing the song that I could tell, they are exactly the same speed. If your interest in a good DVD I recommend any of the rock house method DVDs. John McCarthy is a wonderful teacher and explains everything.

Trail Blazers rookie Damian Lillard says he saw Portland's victory over San Antonio coming, and not just during the course of the game. ''I think this whole week we've been locked in as a team. It had that feel,'' Lillard said. ''Guys were excited to play.'' Lillard scored a career-high 29 points in Portland's 98-90 win over the Spurs on Thursday night. It was the second consecutive loss for San Antonio, which has dropped just six games this season. Lillard, the sixth pick in last June's NBA draft, added seven rebounds and six assists. He has scored at least 20 points in 13 games this season. ''I think I've had a few better games even though this is the most points I've scored,'' he said. ''I think this was the best I've done in a game we really needed.'' And that needed win came in a nationally televised game against the Spurs, who are second only to Oklahoma City in the Western Conference. San Antonio trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half but Manu Ginobili's lay...
