Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! It's hard to fathom, but it has been two years since Giant Bomb was acquired by CBSi. Just think...two years ago Jeff introduced us to Big Bo, creepy right? There's no real going about it--the last two years have been rough. Many users have left us, and unfortunately we lost Ryan, a figurehead and undeniable tour de force on the site. Through all of this we are still here, and while this is not a perfect community it has continued to exist as one. Time and time again I have been humbled by the creativity and sincerity of you, my community. Such events have continually quashed whatever self doubts that may have develop from me being a moderator. For this I thank you, from the bottom of my heart I want you to know that your kindness is greatly appreciated.
With that please note that this week is GDC, so expect late night live streams filled to the brim with guest speakers. For those wondering Jeff has worked tirelessly to book one, @patrickklepek to appear on a live stream to discuss the new Yoshi's Island game.
Clips of the Week
@theburlaplemur decided to dedicate his latest Bitseize Bomb video entirely on the Amped 3 Quick Look, better known as "The Forgotten Endurance Run." @turboman also has a new episode of his Best of Giant Bomb series which features Vinny as a forklift as well as a creepy dude with AR Cards. Finally @wallofbricks has the final "Supercut" which compiles all of his previous video related to Brad's Breaking Brad for Demon's Souls plus plenty scenes from the end of the series.

ILikePopCans played a smorgasbord of games this week ranging from Rsien 2 and Fire Emblem which would make Video_Game_King proud. MooseyMcMan returns to Giant Bomb by blogging about his thoughts on Strider and Tomb Raiders as reboots and self contained games. Shivoa decided to settle the Bombcast's confusion over the 720p vs. 1080i/p debate and other resolution controversies. halomaste19 wrote two blogs, the first asking where all the good dinosaur video games are, and the second contemplates if cut scenes prove how behind games are in terms of telling stories. thatpinguino mulls over what can be gained from understanding our play styles and gaming preferences. FLStyle has the massive event list and itinerary for the fighting game event, Final Round 17. dankempster continued his play-through of Pokemon FireRed, and FinalDasa detailed his attempt to finish up the Infamous franchise up to this point in preparation of Second Son.

Apartments often use less energy than other homes
By Emily Pickrell | June 18, 2013
Photo By apdk/FlickrAngle blinds up: TXU Energy says that angling horizontal blinds so sunlight streams up can reduce the heat coming in and provide free natural light. When closed and lowered, highly reflective blinds can reduce heat gain by around 45 percent.
Photo By kellen_butler/FlickrInsulate lights: Canned or recessed lights can be a big source of air leaks. Selecting "IC" (insulation contact) models or installing approved covers over non-IC models can stop that.
Photo By fonticiella /FlickrUse a fan: You can raise your thermostat setting by up to 4 degrees and not feel a difference if you also run a ceiling fan. Fans only make you feel cooler, though, so turn them off when you're not in the room.
Photo By rlhyde/FlickrLower humidity: It takes longer to cool a humid home. The ideal humidity level is less than 60 percent in the summer.
Photo By alex_why /FlickrModerate the thermostat: Lowering your thermostat setting does not cool your home more quickly. Many factors affect how quickly an indoor space cools. Thermostat set points are not among them.
Photo By mikenan1/FlickrCheck your water heater: Water heaters are factory set at 140 degrees. Lowering that to 120 degrees provides comfortably hot water and less energy consumption.
Photo By Green Energy Futures/FlickrUse a programmable thermostat: Most Americans with programmable thermostats don't program them. New Energy Star® ratings for programmable thermostats may consider ease of use and online access.
Photo By tuxthepenguin84/FlickrSeal your windows: If you want to save money this summer, you should start by looking for the places where you are losing money. Gaps between windows and doors are some of the most likely spots for energy loss.
Photo By Michael Paulsen/Houston ChronicleGet the right A/C unit: Air conditioners are designed for specific sizes, and you can waste energy by having one too big or too small. You should make sure your unit is right for your home.
Photo By CraftyGoat/FlickrSwitch your light bulbs: You can save money by switching out old incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs. The modern light bulbs, which do have a different glow, can save you money on your electric bill.
Photo By wblo/FlickrChange your air filter: A dirty air filter can make your air conditioner be less efficient, and it can ultimately cost you money on your electric bill.
Photo By Fitz Villafuerte/FlickrTurn off lights: Many people forget to turn off lights and fans after leaving a room. By turning them off, you can save yourself some money on that electric bill.
Photo By trekkyandy/FlickrBuy energy-efficient appliances: They may cost more at the store, but energy-efficient appliances can save you money on your electric bill.
Photo By danmachold/FlickrUnplug unused appliances: You can save money by unplugging phone chargers or other kitchen appliances when they aren't in use.
Residential energy efficiency looks be one of the winners of the recent economic crisis.
Multi-unit residential buildings, the most energy efficient dwelling style, have increased in popularity since 2008 for new ownership.
These units now make up nearly a fifth of all households but using less than 10 percent of home energy use, according to a study issued Tuesday by the Energy Information Administration. And the trend is increasing.
The number of new home starts in apartment buildings with five or more units rose to 30 percent in 2012, up from 18 percent in 2010 – showing a deliberate move towards these more energy efficient dwellings.
"Lower energy use in apartments can be partially explained by their smaller living space," the EIA said in the report. "Additionally, apartment units are bordered by other units or common areas on one or more sides and typically have fewer windows, limiting exposure to exterior temperatures."
New construction for these buildings has made new units even more efficient than older units, benefiting from the technologies integrated into new construction.
The declines in energy usage have also been the sharpest in large apartment buildings, falling by nearly 40 percent since 1980, resulting from efficiency improvements in major equipment and appliances.
Average home size and use of electronics has increased in the same time period, resulting in declines between 15 to 32 percent for other home types.

Zama Acid Gas EOR, CO2 Sequestration, and Monitoring Project
Nominators: Canada (lead) and United States
Recognized by the CSLF at its Paris meeting in March 2007, the Zama Acid Gas Enhanced Oil Recovery Project injects CO2 and hydrogen sulfide gas to enhance oil recovery at the Zama Field in Northern Alberta. Project objectives are to predict, monitor, and evaluate the fate of the injected acid gas; to determine the effect of hydrogen sulfide on CO2 sequestration; and to develop a "best practices manual" for measurement, monitoring, and verification of storage (MMV) of the acid gas. Acid gas injection was initiated in December 2006 and will result in sequestration of about 25,000 tons (or 375 million cubic feet) of CO2 per year.

In case you've been out of the loop for the last 20 years, the United States is in a little bit of a financial pickle; to the tune of $16,414,315,005,000 as I write this line. It took the U.S government this long to realize there was a problem and NOW they've decided to actually do something about it. A decision must be made by Monday, Dec 31 as to what's going to be cut from the budget and who is going to pay for the giant debt; every tax-payer or only the really rich ones.
I'm no scientist, but my money is on everyone having to pay up. Even if the ultra-rich end up footing the bill, I'm pretty sure the cost will be passed on to the general public through increased prices and fees. Either way, the entire world is going to be affected by the aftermath of the whole situation. Already the markets have taken a hit from just the news of the deadline, so who knows what will happen in the weeks to come.
What would Benjamin Graham do?
If enough investors panic and the markets do take a tumble in the new year, it could lead to a potential buying period. I'll never forget Benjamin Graham's wise words to "buy when everyone is selling" and that's what I intend to do. It will be just in time for my annual contribution to my TFSA self-directed trading account. Now thanks to the TFSA limit increase, I'll be able to buy even more stocks that drop in price.
Everyone needs a safety net
Even though my portfolio will decrease in value if the markets take a dive, I won't worry one bit because I'm in this for the long run. I'll still be making an average of over 5% from the dividends that are deposited into my account. As the stock price decreases, the dividend yield will be increasing, which will entice investors to buy in. That's how dividends act as a safety net to cushion the blow of market volatility.
Most investors are unhappy when the markets dip. I on the other hand get excited because it means a good opportunity to buy in. After all, no one likes paying full price when they make a purchase. I've been saving my dividends for most of 2012 waiting for an opportune time to buy more blue chip dividends stocks. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks as to which way the markets will go.
6 Responses to "Fiscal Cliff? I'm Glad I Have A Safety Net"
Arrgghh! Too soon! I'll be making my first investment in November of 2013 – can we delay the Fiscal Cliff so I can get in on the deals too?
Hah, I like the snow flakes :0) That debt number is almost too big to comprehend. The US is basically at 100% debt to GDP level now. Luckily we're not even at 50% up here in Canada. If our stock market drops next week I will use my TFSA contribution room, if only the US market drops I will use the money in my RRSP to buy some US equities.
The fiscal cliff is way over hyped.
What the markets did on the 31st is what i predict we will see for January. up.
The news that an agreement has been reached in the states should help that prediction.

KKR and Borealis Maritime today announced the acquisition of a portfolio of nine feeder container vessels in a sale process coordinated by Commerzbank. The vessels were previously owned by a number of German KG funds and were originally financed by Commerzbank. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
In 2013, KKR and Borealis Maritime formed a joint venture named Embarcadero Maritime to invest in distressed shipping assets. Since its formation and including the most recent acquisition, Embarcadero Maritime has acquired 27 vessels in 9 separate transactions and its current fleet includes a mix of chemical tankers, feeder container vessels and small LPG vessels. To date, KKR and Borealis have deployed over $100 million into vessel acquisitions and continue to pursue

'Glee': Cory Monteith and cast celebrate 'Don't Stop Believin's' fountain show debut
The "Glee" phenomenon has reached the White House, Oprah, and now, fans in the L.A. area can get a piece of "Don't Stop Believin'" at one of the city's popular outdoor malls.
Yep, the song that took America by storm last year, thanks to "Glee"'s resurrection of it, is now the soundtrack to The Grove shopping center fountain show.
Stars Jane Lynch, Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Naya Rivera, Dijon Talton, Harry Shum and Heather Morris were on hand for the new fountain show's debut, which coincided with a sneak peek screening of the mid-season premiere for a few lucky fans.
Can't make it out to The Grove between now and June when "Don't Stop Believin'" will end its run? We shot some video of the show, and while our amateur video doesn't exactly do it justice, you can see the cast on the bridge, reacting to it, which is pretty cool.
What you can't see? Monteith singing along for most of the song.
We're kind of in love...

Natalie Portman Tops Forbes List of 'Best Actors For the Buck'
Forbes has compiled a list of movie stars that offer studios the greatest bang for their buck. The Top 10 list of actors was composed using "data on actors' earnings," "box office grosses and budget estimates" and the actors' last three films over the past three years "that opened in more than 2,000 theaters, calculating the return on investment for the studios who pay his (or her) salary."
The Top 10 list is as follows:
3. Shia LaBeouf
9. Amy Adams
10. Kevin James
Portman's recent films include BLACK SWAN, No Strings Attached and Your Highness. No Strings Attached, a romantic comedy co-starring Ashton Kutcher, earned $150 million at the box office globally on a small $25 million budget. Similiar to her film BLACK SWAN, the comedy was another movie starring Portman with a low budget and a high box office return, making her a worthwhile investment to Hollywood producers.

Reviews for the Dell Vostro 3700 (i7-720QM, GT 330M)
Vostro New – the Second. New hardware, subtle improvements of the equipment, new outfit. Following the Vostro 3500, we now put the updated and potently equipped 17 incher of the Vostro family to the test.
Source: Notebookcheck DE→EN
Single Review, online available, Long, Date: 06/23/2010
Rating: Total score: 84% performance: 91% display: 78% mobility: 70% workmanship: 88% ergonomy: 88% emissions: 73%
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M: The Nvidia GeForce GT 330M is the successor of the GT 230M and technically just a slightly higher clocked GT 240M (but it should still maintain the power envelope of the GT 230M as the naming suggests).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
720QM: The Core i7-720QM is the slowes Core i7 Quad Core in 2009 and clocks between 1.6 and 2.8 GHz (due to the Turbo Mode). Therefore, it combines the advantages of a slow quad core CPU with a fast single core one. Compared to the faster Core i7 mobile CPUs, the 720QM only features 6MB L3 Cache.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.97 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Dell: Dell Inc. is a multinational technology corporation that develops, manufactures, sells, and supports personal computers and other computer-related products. Based in Texas, Dell employs more than 82,700 people worldwide (2009). In 2006, Dell purchased the computer hardware manufacturer Alienware. In most countries, the laptops are directly sold to consumers by Dell and each notebook custom-assembled according to a selection of options. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %
82%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.

I'm loving the HP dv7-6195us that i now lug around - 17 inch, 1TB, 8
core i7 intel, 8GB memory - it's the entertainment-directed, has
separate graphics card - Radeon HD 6770M - my son is intensely envious.
Seeing a used one on ebay for just under 900 - needs power cord - has
9-cell battery, long battery life. New ones are between 1100 and 1200
The one thing that really irritates me is the absolutely stupid choice
to put Ins on the keyboard as an Fn key over prt sc - sheesh!! No way to
flip it as you can do with regular Fxx keys.
Oh, and it has a separate numeric keypad - and it IS heavy!!
Oh yeah, really nice sound - even has a subwoofer of sorts underneath

Novelist Jilly Cooper blasts incinerator as 'assault on rural heritage'
Posted: February 05, 2013|
Jilly Cooper is backing the fight against a proposed waste incinerator at Javelin Park.
Novelist Jilly, fashion designers Savannah Miller and Lulu Guinness, Ecotricity boss Dale Vince and Tom and Henry Herbert of the Fabulous Baker Boys are among the Gloucestershire celebrities backing the fight against the plan.
"To build a vast incinerator right on the edge of the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty, visible for miles around, represents an assault on our rural heritage," said Jilly.
Stroud mum and designer Savannah Miller said: "The proposed incinerator's monstrous proportions far exceed the need for our area. I am really frustrated that once again, common sense is being over ridden by corporate greed."
Gloucestershire County Council will decide planning permission for the Haresfield incinerator but has already awarded the 25-year incinerator contract to Ubaser Balfour Beatty.
The county council is likely to fork out a £15million penalty if it does not go ahead.

Mac Laird of Williamsburg is living the old adage, "You're never too old to follow a dream." An avid outdoorsman with a love of history, Laird, 85, discovered a need to write as he aged and couldn't do some of the things he used to do.
"Cutting down trees, barking them, assembling them is beyond my strength and endurance, and so are paddling white water, green woodworking, climbing mountains, and long overnight hikes on the Appalachian Trail," he wrote in an email exchange with the Daily Press. "Writing is something I enjoy and can do."
John Conlee, Laird's friend and a professor of English literature at the College of William and Mary, said, "All writers, young or old, face most of the same problems. But one huge advantage that older writers have is their many years of life experience. One of the basic tenets of creative writing is to 'write what you know,' but younger writers haven't lived enough to have a rich foundation upon which to draw. Mac Laird's stories are certainly enriched and leavened by his many decades of real life experience."
Laird spent most of his career on the water. In 1944, Laird, then 16, joined the Navy and went to sea a year later on the USS Ashland LSD1, a landing ship dock. He was discharged from the Navy in 1946 after World War II ended, but re-enlisted in 1947, returning to sea on the destroyer USS Perry DD844. He served in the Asiatic Pacific and Philippine war zones as a radioman in the amphibious forces, retiring as a senior chief radioman.
After leaving the Navy, Laird went to school at the University of Maryland and went on to become a Navy civilian employee in telecommunications management and operations.
To get away from the rat race of his life in Washington, D.C., Laird decided to build a log cabin in the Shenandoah mountains.
"I tried to…escape from the chaotic pace of living and working near metro DC…every chance I got," he said. It was like coming home for Laird, who grew up on a small farm in the Louisiana Kitsatchi National Forest.
His wife, Johnnie, encouraged him to turn that project into a book: "I knew he was capable of writing." she said, but it wasn't until after he retired and moved to Williamsburg that her suggestion took root.
"Quail High above the Shenandoah," a nonfiction chronicle of his cabin-building journey, was published in 2007. "The content of my first book was easily derived from a journal I kept from 1968 to 2007 and from guest books by more than a hundred guests who seemed to enjoy writing their experiences," he said.
Laird credits the move to Williamsburg for inspiring his turn to fiction as well.
"I moved to Williamsburg in August 1990, volunteered to work in the Rita Welsh Literacy for Life (then known as Rita Welsh Adult Literacy Program), and heard the story about an Indian boy who ran away from Indian school at the College of William and Mary, somehow crossed the James River, and showed up at his Cherokee tribe three months later," he said.
"Some trip that was through the densest of wilderness — and the lad was just a boy," he said. "I never got the details about it although I have searched three libraries and ask many historians. The story still fascinates me. I decided to write a fictional tale from my own imagination but historically accurate in the times, places, and people. "
In 2010 Laird published "Dangerous Differences" which, according to the book's press information, introduces "the troubling differences between the frontier Indians and the settlers of the new world." That book was a nominee for the Library of Virginia's 14th Annual Literary Awards.
The story picks up in 1713, 13 years later, in Laird's newest book, "Christanna," which centers around Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood's project to construct a fort to house, educate and protect the local native Americans. The book is undergoing review by The Library of Virginia for nomination for the 17th Annual Literary Awards in fiction.
Laird's books are a family affair, his wife said. The couple, who have known each other for 74 years and been married for 64, are using the books as a way to bond during their retirement years.
"In Washington D.C., he worked long hours and traveled. So our together time was limited. Now he is home writing and together time is an added joy for us," Johnnie said.
Laird approaches the production of his self-published books methodically. "These books took a little over three years each, one third researching, one third writing and one third support (such as sales)," he said.
The photo on the cover of "Christanna" is "a view of the James River near Williamsburg. It is a typical Virginia Peninsula landscape," Laird writes. He used a Nikon 40, digital, and said he layered several photographs with Adobe Photoshop CS5 until he found the right mix for the cover.
Johnnie who is a "strong grammarian," loves to read and has "unfailing judgment of what works and what doesn't in scenes," Laird said.
She read and reread her husband's manuscripts looking for misspellings, punctuation problems and repetitive language. She also reviewed scenes that she found confusing. "He is very receptive to my suggestions, and we discuss them at length," she said.

US Secretary of State John Kerry was in Cairo on Sunday pressing for reforms during the highest-level American visit to Egypt since the ouster of the country's first democratically elected president.
The Egyptian military's removal of Mohammed Morsi in July led the US to suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in aid.
The State Department apparently expected a frosty reception for Kerry,especially with tensions running high on the eve of Monday's scheduled start of Morsi's trial on charges of inciting murder. The department refused to confirm Kerry's visit until he landed in Cairo,even though Egypt's official news agency reported the impending trip three days earlier.
The secrecy was unprecedented for a secretary of state's travel to Egypt,for decades one of the closest US allies in the Arab world,and highlighted the deep rifts today between Washington and Cairo.
Kerry last was in Egypt in March,when he urged Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to enact sweeping economic reforms and govern in a more inclusive manner. Those calls went unheeded. Simmering public unhappiness with his rule boiled over when the powerful Egyptian military deposed Morsi on July 3 and established an interim government.
The Obama administration was caught in a bind over whether to condemn the ouster as a coup and cut the annual $1.3 billion in US military assistance that such a determination would legally require.
The US waffled for months before deciding last month to suspend most big-ticket military aid such as tanks,helicopters and fighter jets,while declining to make a coup determination. The US also is withholding $260 million in budget support to the government.
Egypt is receiving billions of dollars in aid from wealthy Gulf Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. But Egyptian authorities reacted angrily to the US aid suspension,declaring it a new low point in ties that have been strained since the popular revolt that unseated authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.
Egypt's foreign minister,Nabil Fahmy,said last month that US-Egyptian relations were in "turmoil" and warned that the strain could affect the entire Middle East.
With US influence ebbing,Kerry's message about the importance of economic and constitutional reforms was expected to be met with suspicion,if not outright hostility,by Egyptian leaders and a population deeply mistrustful of Washington's motives. Many Egyptians accuse the Obama administration of taking sides in their domestic political turmoil; American officials adamantly deny it.
In meetings with Egypt's Army chief,Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,the interim president,Adly Mansour,and Fahmy,Kerry intended to underscore the necessity of democratic transition through a transparent and inclusive constitutional process,and free and fair parliamentary and presidential elections.
Only once progress is made on those,American officials say,will the US consider restoring the suspended aid. They say Kerry is eager to assure Egyptians that the US considers Egypt an important friend and bulwark of regional stability,notably because of its peace treaty with Israel.
An initial administration attempt at outreach to post-Morsi Egypt – providing $60 million to spur private investment in Egypt's flailing economy – has been held up in Congress.
US officials traveling with Kerry said he also …continued »

Student Spotlight: Becky Radavich
Becky Radavich
Major: Theater, Communications
Becky Radavich was not prepared to go away to college.
Instead, College of DuPage provided the best way for her to live at home and explore who she wanted to become. It also helped that she was named a Presidential Scholar, an impressive award that includes a full-tuition scholarship and enrollment in COD's Honors program and the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society.
"Many of my classmates were jumping at the opportunity to leave their hometown and get 'the college experience,' but College of DuPage had the type of experience that I wanted," she said. "Because the campus was located within a 30- to 40-minute drive, being a student at COD provided a great way for me to live at home and explore who I wanted to become at college.
"I was able to participate in many clubs and activities, and these activities -- especially working as a Student Ambassador and performing in plays -- helped me focus on my future direction and contributed to my major selection."
Radavich actually has two majors -- communications and theater, both of interest to her since childhood. During high school, she was involved in the spring musicals and the contest play during her senior year.
"I was more introverted as a child, but as I have grown up, I have become more extroverted and place more emphasis on my communications and interactions with others. Becoming a Student Ambassador and taking the Small-Group Communication class here at COD definitely solidified my decision to study communications," she said. "When I got to COD, I also began taking theater classes and continued participating in plays. I love performing, and the theater major came naturally to me."
While at College of DuPage, Radavich also participated in the Honors Scholars program, working with outstanding faculty members and other high-achieving students while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Outside of the classroom, she was a member of the COD Dance/Cheer Team, participated in the spring dance Program, the fall Dance Fusion, and a number of theatrical productions, including "The Three Musketeers," "The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch," "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Dining Room."
During her first semester, Radavich saw signs on campus promoting the Disney Internship Program and decided to attend the presentation.
"Throughout my time at COD, the Disney internship was always in the back of my mind," she said. "I finally applied and was accepted into the 2013 Spring program. I was a park greeter in Main Entrance Operations at Hollywood Studios in Orlando. For four months, I was able to say that I was a cast member for one of the most powerful and successful companies in the world."
In 2013, in addition to earning her degree at College of DuPage, Radavich received the North Central College Transfer Scholarship, which is a full-tuition award that is renewable for up to three years. She plans to pursue a double major in Organizational Communication and Theater and a double minor in Dance and Broadcast Communication.
After earning her bachelor's degrees, she would like to incorporate both communications and performing in her future career path. She would like to maintain connections with the Disney company and possibly pursue a professional internship with them, as she would enjoy being affiliated with a company that is involved in radio, television and theatrical productions.
She thanks College of DuPage, especially the administration and faculty for promoting an environment where students can "find themselves" and be creative in their studies and extracurricular interests.
"Because COD has such a wide variety of course offerings and ways to get involved, I was able to pursue whatever interested me, both in and out of the classroom," she said. "I met some lifelong friends and developed strong leadership skills and the ability to interact with a wide variety of people. I established meaningful relationships with some of the wonderful faculty members at COD.
"I can honestly say that deciding to attend College of DuPage is one of the best decisions I have ever made."

They are both really starting to mimic us. I like to think of it as learning :) Sloane seems to do it much quicker and Knox usually just laughs and her and her. She is giving us five, smiling and tucking her neck when we say "doggie, woof woof"..clapping for patty cake.
I feel like this week Sloane has been saying mama.
Since Knox got his fourth tooth Monday morning, he has been a MUCH happier baby. He is smiling SO much and just cheesing at us. It's so cute and I feel like his teeth have really been getting the best of him the past two months! Those darn things.
Sloane is now teething harder and it's causing a bit of separation anxiety just like it did with Knox. It's hard for me to walk out of her sight without her getting angry.
Sloane LOVES the camera. You will see she has become quite the little poser. Knox is starting to more now that he wants to show all his new teeth off :)
Knox has become a little clown. He loves to put the activity gym on him, play peekaboo and squeal as loud as he can like a bird.
We went to the doctor last week for flu Boosters and Knox went this past Monday for a check up on his skin. He weight 17lbs2oz so he's definitely gaining better! The doctor said his skin is just still SO sensitive. When it starts doing good, he naps or goes to bed and rubs it raw again. Never ending cycle, poor buddy. He said no sunscreen or bug spray this summer.
We started sippy cups, mum mums, puffs, banana, avocado...what else..seems like something else.
Knox & Sloane went to Sam's and Lowes, together, for the first time this week. I push buggy; Brent pushes stroller. Yes, people asked if they are identical. Never fails.
Here is an iphone picture dump from the past two weeks (minus ones I've already posted;)

In 2008, Alliance Defending Freedom launched the Pulpit Initiative, which is designed to restore the right of pastors to speak freely from the pulpit on any and all issues addressed by Scripture.
Historically, churches have emphatically, and with great passion, spoken Scriptural truth from the pulpit about government and culture. Historians have stated that America owes its independence in great degree to the moral force of the pulpit. Pastors have proclaimed Scriptural truth throughout history on great moral issues such as slavery, women's suffrage, child labor and prostitution. Pastors have also spoken from the pulpit with great frequency for and against various candidates for government office.
All that changed in 1954 with the passage of the "Johnson amendment" which restricted the right of churches and pastors to speak Scriptural truth about candidates for office. The Johnson amendment was proposed by then-Senator Lyndon Johnson, and it changed the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit churches and other non-profit organizations from supporting or opposing a candidate for office. After the Johnson amendment passed, churches faced a choice of either continuing their tradition of speaking out or silencing themselves in order to retain their church's tax exemption. The Internal Revenue Service, in conjunction with radical organizations like Americans United for Separation of Church and State, have used the Johnson amendment to create an atmosphere of intimidation and fear for any church that dares to speak Scriptural truth about candidates for office or issues.
It is time for the intimidation and threats to end. Churches and pastors have a constitutional right to speak freely and truthfully from the pulpit – even on candidates and voting – without fearing loss of their tax exemption.
Pulpit Freedom Sunday - September 26, 2010.
Pastors and church leaders all over America are finding renewed courage to stand for the truth of the Gospel in their community. Click below to hear firsthand their stories of standing for their constitutionally protected rights and, with the help of ADF, successfully warding off government intrusions and intimidation.
Do you know someone who would want to learn more about his or her constitutionally protected rights as a pastor?

How to Treat a Middle Ear Infection
Do you suspect you have a middle ear infection after a cold? You might if you have ear pain, drainage from the ear, trouble hearing, and a fullness in the ear. This article will show you how to treat the symptoms to a middle ear infection with just home treatment.
1Relieve pain. You will need an over the counter pain reliever like acetaminophen (eg.Tylenol) and possibly applying a warm facecloth or heating pad. If the pain is severe, your doctor might need to prescribe some special ear drops.Ad
2Clean the drainage from the ear (if any). The drainage should be thick, yellow, and foul smelling and is usually a sign that the eardrum has ruptured. The eardrum will heal in about 3 to 4 weeks on its own. Clean the outside part of the ear with a soft tipped cotton swab and remember to never stick a cotton swab deep inside an ear.
3If you believe it is severe, visit a local doctor. Doctors can help heavily with figuring out your needs when it comes to your health. Seeing a doctor will help you know how severe the infection really is.
4Obtain a prescription for an antibiotic (if there is a high fever, or the ear hasn't healed in a a few months, or if there are other complications). The most common and recommended antibiotic treatment for middle ear infection is amoxicillin. Be sure to check with your doctor before taking any medications and to read the warnings about amoxicillin down below.
5Add heat to the ear. Theoretically adding heat to the ear can cause the fluids in the ear to be loosened. Some possible methods are getting something like a hand warmer to put on the ear. Hair hair dryers may help too, but you would have to use them in spurts rather than in one long stream of blowing or else you will hurt the ear.
6Avoid all types of smoke. This includes smoking and second hand smoking! Smoke is known to clog up your Eustachian tubes which will only help the infection.
7Try Garlic oil. It is a very helpful home remedy, adding two drops of garlic oil inside the ear. At a store you may also be able to find two garlic oil capsules of all things. Add a cotton ball on first in order for the garlic oil to be able to flow into the Eustachian tubes. Usually the first dose works, but doing it a few times wouldn't hurt. If it doesn't here are some other strange oils and products to use however garlic oil works best in my opinion:
- cooking oil
- hydrogen peroxide
- baby oil
8Prop up your head when sleeping. Doing this can cause the clogged fluids which caused the infection in the first place to flow free.

- Drink lots of water. The water will help your body fight the infection.
- Remember to rest. Running or working hard will spread the ear pain.
- Relax. Relaxing and believing that your ear will heal quickly will actually speed up the recovery and help with the discomfort.
- Remember that swimming and allergies are common causes for ear infections. When you are having bad allergies and/or going swimming soon try taking some Zinc or Vitamin C tablets.
- If you are experiencing severe pain in the ear lasting more than an hour you should head to the ER.
- Take a goal and lightly wet it with water, put it in the microwave for a minute or two, or until warm/hot. Fold it up until it is roughly the size of your ear. Lay on a bed or a couch and put the towel under your ear as you lay.
- Never poke a cotton swab deep inside an ear when cleaning. This can damage the ear.
- Avoid letting water go into the ear. This especially applies to activities such as swimming and taking a shower.
- When taking amoxicillin, be careful as it has side affects. These include: nausea, vomiting, and easy fatigue. But beware that an allergic reaction to amoxicillin is very dangerous. starts with a change in mental state; skin rash with intense itching (often beginning in fingertips and around groin area and rapidly spreading) and sensations of fever, nausea and vomiting. You will need emergency medical attention if you have an allergic reaction.

The Starkville Yellowjackets used a little teamwork Thursday afternoon to reach the State Bowling Championships.
Even though the SHS boys scored 3,169 which was good for third in the regional hosted by the Jackets at Bulldog Lanes, they were able to qualify for state as a wildcard.
Dalvin Tate, who led Starkville with 213 points, said the team got together prior to the regional, discussed preparation and was determined to do its best.
In a sport like bowling, Tate knows from experience how important it is to remain positive.
"If you get depressed because you missed a strike, it really hurts you," Tate said. "If you stay like that, your whole game goes downhill. That's why you have teammates to pick you back up."
Senior Rob Montgomery said the Jackets were focused on being together, energized, confident, having fun and doing their best.
Jalen Catledge, who was one point off Tate's mark with a 212, agreed that encouraging teammates is a key to success.
"It was about pumping each other up," Catledge said. "Whenever you get frustrated, you just go downhill. When we see somebody down, we try to make them understand that if you miss something, you have to stay confident about it and tell yourself that you are going to pick up the next one, get a strike and move on from there."
Tupelo finished first in the four-team regional with 3,788, while Olive Branch scored 3,388 for second and Starkville was third with its total. Northwest Rankin had a score of 3,107.
Tupelo and Olive Branch were automatic qualifiers for state, while the Jackets made it as a the wildcard.
After a tough start, Starkville did what was necessary to collect enough points.
"We needed a pep talk," said Delvin Tate of the Jackets. "We prayed at least three times and kept each other motivated."
Starkville coach Jim Philamlee said the younger players had no experience bowling in a playoff setting so it caused some nervousness.
His strategy was to keep substituting and it appeared to have worked.
"They started doing better and we kept bringing people in and out," Philamlee said. "That helped considerably. We have three or four seniors there so they've had experience and they didn't get nervous about it.
"When you sub, you have to take somebody out that has a low score and that's hard to make a decision because that low score might mean you do better next time so you have to make a coaching decision that's not easy. We had our subs practicing so we knew what they were doing, but when you are down there practicing, it's different from the game."
The thing that impressed Philamlee the most about the Jackets was their ability to motivate themselves.
The State Championships will be held at Fannin Lanes in Flowood on Feb. 24.
The SHS girls finished fourth in the region with 1,385 points.
Individually, Lizzie Valdes scored 123 points and Dessica Ivy had 122 points.

mark, realize that if you install unstable or testing, you can update your
system multiple times a day, just like you think.
however, stable does not get regular updates. you won't have to update your
system the way i do, multiple times a day. you will only update your system
when a new revision of stable comes out. so far, potato has been update 3
times in the past (year? someone correct me here).
if you go with stable, you won't be updating your system very much.

Jean E. Louis, shot dead by police, mentally ill, neighbors say
A man was shot by police after he attacked police officers and then barricaded himself inside an apartment in Mount Pleasant in D.C. for about two hours. The standoff placed the neighborhood under lockdown.
The man, identified as 55-year-old Jean E. Louis of Northwest D.C., had barricaded himself inside an apartment in the 1600 block of Irving Street NW after he attacked police officers. Police feared the man could have had gun. They closed down six blocks and ordered some people to hunker down inside their homes or businesses and others to keep a safe distance.
Special Operations Commander Burton said police were called to 1630 the scene about 1:30 p.m. to assist mental health workers. When MPD arrived, Louis attacked police with a sharp object, stabbing one officer in the arm.
Louis, a Haitian immigrant, then barricaded himself in a room. Police feared he had a gun, but later no gun was found in the apartment.
Police negotiated with him for about two hours, when he either fell asleep or somehow became incapacitated. When police entered the room, the suspect attacked police with sharp object.
At about 5:30 p.m., two loud bangs were heard. Commander Burton said police shot Louis in the upper body.
"I heard two shots and that was it. I saw the smoke come out the window," said neighbor Shaun Creek.
He was taken to Howard Hospital, where he died.
Don Torres, a neighbor of Louis, said he has a history of problems. "I am just worried about my family's safety," Torres said.
"I always kept away from him," said another neighbor, Mundy Clearance.
During the standoff, MPD officers scrambled through the surrounding area and told people to stay in their homes and businesses and to remain in restaurants. Snipers were posted as look-outs.

IPFire is a source-based, Linux firewall/router distribution with a modular design, with one of the easiest installation and setup routines of the group of Linux- and BSD-based firewall and router distributions listed on this site.
Origin – Home Page: Germany – IPFire
License: IPFire is Free Software (GNU GPL), free to download, tweak, distribute and use.
Comments: Like most of the firewall and router distros listed on this site, IPFire sports a ncurses-based installer. While the default installation does not offer many of the advanced features that you will find on Astaro Security Gateway Home Edition, or pfSense, it comes with lots of addon applications to extend it's basic functionality. In addition to its use as a firewall, you could – with installation of the appropriate addons – use it as a home application server.
You may view the base features of IPfire as well as that of other distros in the firewall cum router category in the feature overview of Linux and BSD firewall and router distros.
Some of the addons available for installation are:
- hostapd
- ClamAV (this should be a default feature and not a addon)
- Spamassasin (this should also be a default feature)
- Samba
- Asterisk
A complete list of the addons is available here.
Be aware that although the addons are easily installed from the browser-based admin interface, additional configuration of some of the addons requires that you tweak configuration files from the command line, that is, from the console. For example, by default, IPFire can not be used as an Access Point (AP). However, by installing hostapd (and configuring it from the command line), your IPFire firewall may now be used an Access Point.
Where IPFire bests other distros in its category is in hardware detection. It was able to automatically detect the Linksys and Belkin wireless USB cards (on the test machine), whereas Astaro and SmootheWall could not.
Download: Installation images for supported platforms are available here.
Tutorials/Tips: You may access installation instructions and other docs at the IPFire wiki, and have your questions answered at the IPFire forum.

What's so good?
By Philip Friedman | Mar 15, 2013 | Total plays: 23,969
I really enjoy the spin that Teen Daze has put on the track. Keeping true to the laid-back mood and seemingly intentional disconnect of the original, Teen Daze manages to instill his own chillwave flavor. He opens up with some of his signature synth patches, and slowly adds layer after layer. There is plenty here to dissect; whether it's the vibraphone hinting in the back or the softly played piano, Teen Daze really shows some love to an already emotion filled track.
You can go check out this remix, as well as the others on Mountain Range's Bandcamp and download them for free.

Originating on the shores of the Baltic (probably in "Gotland", Sweden), this people moved south-eastwards in the second century CE and expanded in the Ukraine during the third century. There they developed remarkable skills as horsemen and their cavalry became feared for its ability with the sword and bow. The Goths divided into the Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths) east of the Dneiper and the Visigoths to the west. The Visigoths forced the Romans to evacuate Dacia (modern Romania) in the middle of the third century, ravaged the Balkans and threatened Constantinople, but they were defeated at the Battle of Naissus in 268.

Sailing - the ability to move along impelled by the natural force of the wind - is figuring largely in space exploration as scientists search for ways of using the forces found in the universe.
Ligeia Mare project - it doesn't look much like a sailing boat
Japan's sailing vessel Ikaros is on its way to Venus propelled by solar wind (photons), and now space engineers are planning their first extra-terrestrial yacht, destined to sail on the Ligeia Sea (Ligeia Mare), a sea of methane and ethane on the surface of Titan, Jupiter's largest moon.
The robot ship, which admittedly doesn't look much like a sailing boat, would sail around this sea for several months, exploring its coastline and measuring the winds and waves that sweep its surface. 'Waves on Titan's seas will be far larger, but much slower, than on earthly oceans, according to our calculations,' Professor John Zarnecki, of the Open University told The Guardian this week. 'That suggests Titan is the best spot in the solar system for surfing. The only trouble is that the temperature there is -180C (-290F). Either way you look at it, it is clear the place is pretty cool.'
The mission to Titan – the only moon in the solar system with a thick atmosphere, of nitrogen and methane – would be the first exploration of a sea beyond Earth and could provide evidence about the possible existence of complex organic chemicals, the precursors of life.
'Methane is a gas on Earth, but because Titan is so cold it acts as a liquid there,' added Zarnecki, who is working with US scientists on the construction of the Titan boat probe. 'It exists as a liquid, a gas and a solid, just like water on Earth, depending on conditions in a particular area. Methane also cycles between Titan's surface and its atmosphere, just as water does on Earth. It drives the weather there.'
Ligeia Mare
Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun reacts with this methane, causing it to form complex hydrocarbons that slowly fall back to the surface. In short, it rains petrochemicals on Titan. Rivers of the stuff wash down valleys and form lakes and seas. Over the past seven years, these petrochemical seas have been mapped by US robot spaceship Cassini. In addition, Cassini deployed a smaller probe, called Huygens – built by the European Space Agency – which landed on Titan in 2005. Many of the instruments for that craft were built by Zarnecki and his Open University team. This experience led to a request for them to join the Titan Mare Explorer, or TiME, project that is being funded by Nasa and led by Ellen Stofan, a researcher with the science organisation Proxemy Research.
According to her plans, the TiME probe would be fired at Titan on a billion-mile journey across the solar system. Once it enters the moon's thick atmosphere the craft would parachute down towards the surface and then drop into the 300-mile-wide Ligeia Mare. It would then spend several months afloat on an oily sea taking measurements of waves, chemicals and other variables.
'The probe's main instrument will be a mass spectrometer, which will tell us exactly what the lake is made of. However, we also want to do things like depth-sounding,' said Stofan. The instruments would be powered by a small nuclear generator, because Titan is so distant from the Sun that solar panels cannot be used to provide power for detectors or transmitters.
Titan is also thought to have an ocean of water deep underground. Complex organic chemicals, created on its surface, could be seeping down through fissures so that primitive lifeforms could have evolved in relatively warm waters beneath the moon's surface. Hence scientists' interest in studying Titan.
Titan - venue for the first sailing event?
The TiME probe was originally selected as one of 28 missions that Nasa was considering as future projects. Twenty-five of these candidate missions have now been rejected, and the Titan mission now has only two other competitors for the £300m funding that will be needed for its development and launch. The other two are a seismic monitoring station for Mars and a comet-hopping probe. Detailed plans for all three are now being worked out by scientists, and the winner will be chosen after a review in 2012. In the case of TiME, launch would be in 2016, with the ship arriving seven years later.
'When the proposal for the TiME mission went in, it had a one-in-28 chance of success,' said Zarnecki. 'Now Nasa have shortlisted it, it has a one-in-three chance – that's getting serious. I didn't think I had a chance of returning to Titan in my career. Now that's all changed.'

WWE News: Backstage Criticism On The Build For Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
This Sunday at Wrestlemania XXX, Brock Lesnar will challenge The Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. A win over Lesnar will give "The Phenom" his 22nd victory at the "Showcase of the Immortals."
It's arguable that The Undertaker's match each year at Wrestlemania has become equally prestigious or maybe even more prestigious than the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. It has been the exclamation mark on his already remarkable career. A victory for Lesnar would be monumental in the WWE's history.
The latest report coming out of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is that Vince McMahon made the decision that during the build towards the Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar, Undertaker wouldn't be touched by Lesnar.
The feeling backstage in WWE is that Vince McMahon changed his mind for the better on Raw this week, as he finally allowed Lesnar to get the upper hand over Undertaker in their encounter in the ring.
Many backstage within WWE feel that Lesnar should have been booked to be a much bigger threat to the Streak at Wrestlemania, and it's being said that back in 2010, when a "Taker vs. Lesnar" feud was being discussed, there was talk of having Lesnar actually end the streak.
It is debatable whether it would be the right move for the Streak to ever end but if it does end and the decision has to be made on who should be the one to do it, it's hard to argue against Brock Lesnar.
"The Beast Incarnate" is a physical specimen unlike any that we have ever seen in the WWE before. At 6'3 and 287 pounds, Brock Lesnar has a freakish blend of strength and agility.
Also, let's not forget that outside of the WWE, he's a legitimate tough guy with a background as a two-time NCAA All-American and 2000 NCAA Champion college wrestler.
His incredible athletic ability helped him in his mixed martial arts career as well when he defeated Randy Couture to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship in only the fourth fight of his life.
Being that Brock Lesnar is easily the most dangerous man in WWE and legitimate tough guy, he would be the most believable threat to the Undertaker's streak. Paul Heyman has done as much as he could to talk up his "Beast" as a threat to beat the streak, but there's only so much that talking will do when you're on the losing end every time that things get physical.
Good move on Vince McMahon and the WWE's part for making the decision to have the Undertaker take the F5 on Raw this past Monday.
