By Dana Ford and Tom Watkins
(CNN) — The Pennsylvania official was just talking about one area, but he summed up a winter storm that struck much of the eastern United States on Wednesday.
"We dodged a bullet," said Steve Cowan, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
As night fell, travelers and transportation authorities breathed a collective sigh of relief as the worst of holiday travel fears failed to materialize. The storm caused some complications and inconveniences, but no major delays or breakdowns.
Forecasters see mostly smooth sailing into Thanksgiving.
CNN meteorologist Todd Borek predicted some lake-effect snowfall over the Great Lakes and fresh snow from a weak disturbance for the Upper Midwest.
But, he added: "The worst in terms of widespread snow and rain is over. Tomorrow will be a quieter day, although wind gusts will continue to be a problem overnight and Thursday for the Northeast."
That's good news for people like Latasha Abney, who joined the more than 43 million Americans expected by AAA to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Abney said Wednesday that she arrived more than two hours early at Washington's Reagan National Airport to catch a flight to New York's JFK.
"I thought the lines were going to be ridiculous," she said in an e-mail. "I was second in line checking my bag with Delta (checked into my flight last night) and security was a breeze. I walked right up, the TSA agent checked my info and I immediately started the security process. And now the wait begins. It's pretty quiet by the gates. Not too many people roaming around. So far, so good! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!"
Brian M. Good said he, too, was expecting a horrible trip when he departed New York for Newark to get a flight to San Diego.
"Instead the roads were dead," he said in an e-mail. "It's warm outside and it stopped raining. No lines at the airport and flight is on time. Wish the forecasters were wrong all the time :)"
Will winds whip parade balloons?
Though the worst of the storm has passed, winds could still pose a problem.
The forecast has left up in the air the fate of the balloons in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They are to be grounded if sustained winds reach 23 mph or gusts exceed 34 mph — both slightly above predicted strength.
A decision will be made Thursday morning before the parade's 9 a.m. ET scheduled start.
"Tomorrow before the event, we'll make a determination — the police department, the incident commander — whether the balloons will fly or not," Patrol Chief James Hall with the New York Police Department said Wednesday.
"It looks good. It looks very good," he said about the possibility of balloons in the air.
But there is ample reason to support the caution.
In 1997, a woman spent more than three weeks in a coma after the Cat in the Hat balloon — tossed by heavy winds — struck a pole that hit her. In 2005, two other people were hurt in a similar incident involving the M&Ms balloon.
Officials say that improved weather monitoring devices en route and a police sergeant assigned to each balloon will minimize any danger.
"We came all the way from Puerto Rico to see the parade, so it will be a disappointment if we don't see the balloons," said Jose Ramirez, who was in New York with his family.
Either way, the parade — with or without the balloons — will go on, organizers say.
Planes, trains …
Delays were reported at several airports in the Northeast on Wednesday.
Heavy winds at all three New York-area airports — LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy and Newark-Liberty — resulted in delays of 30 minutes to an hour, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Departure delays from Philadelphia International Airport averaged nearly two hours.
American Airlines' Kent Powell reported three cancellations, none of them related to the weather.
At US Airways, Todd Lehmacher called the impact of the weather "pretty minimal, at this point," with six weather-related cancellations and an on-time performance of about 67%. The impact was more pronounced at US Airways Express, which tallied 56 cancellations because of the weather, he said.
"The real story is people are getting to their destinations, albeit a little delayed in some but not all cases," he said.
Amtrak reported no major delays systemwide. Using the weather as a marketing tool, the nation's rail system was adding seats on some routes.
"Rail travel remains one of the most reliable and comfortable transportation options, especially in weather conditions that negatively impact other modes," Amtrak said.
There may be something to that.
"QUIET CAR. Window seat. Polite seatmate. I have hit the Amtrak travel trifecta. #blessed," Ellie Hall tweeted early Wednesday.
… and automobiles
Snow blanketed parts of the Midwest, where crews scrambled to clear roads. The storm was blamed for scores of accidents.
Up to a foot of snow fell in parts of Pennsylvania, and it was falling from upstate New York into Canada, where more than a foot was possible. Snow also continued to fly in the central Appalachians and around the Great Lakes as cold air moved in and produced lake-effect snows.
Road conditions were not great in much of the Northeast.
"It's sleet; it's rain; it's 31 degrees. It's ugly out there," CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said.
Still, a call for anecdotes elicited a number of comments, but no horror stories.
"Well, since the forecast said we would be hitting an ice storm on our way, we ended up leaving the night before we had planned and took an alternate route," Sarah Martini said in an e-mail. "This morning we took smaller roads to avoid DC traffic and have made great progress! We managed to avoid bad weather and traffic and are getting close to getting to Pittsburgh from NC!"
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that 416 motorists died during Thanksgiving weekend last year, that 60% of the dead had not been wearing seat belts and that 42% of the accidents involved a drunken driver.
Last week, 12 people died, most of them in car crashes, when one of the fronts making up the current storm iced roads from the Rockies to Texas and Oklahoma. More than 100 vehicles ended up in wrecks.
"I get on the highway, and the next thing I know I'm spinning," said Seqret Watson, among the dozens of drivers in Northwest Arkansas sent sliding when their cars hit icy bridges and roads.
"I try to grab my wheel and then I just hit the wall. Just jumped out to make sure my kids were OK," Watson told affiliate KFSM.
The Peterson family had initially planned to drive from Northern Virginia to Massachusetts. But after seeing the forecast, they booked seats on a flight at the last minute.
"It was a small fortune," Jennifer Peterson told CNN affiliate WUSA. "We could've gone to the Bahamas for what we paid!"

Lindsay Lohan Is Upset Rehab Will Ruin Her Birthday Bash Plans: Report
Lindsay Lohan wants to have her cake and eat it, too.
Lindsay has been sentenced to a 90-day locked-down rehab stint, and she is telling friends she's upset that she'll miss her planned 27th birthday party, according to TMZ.
Linds turns a year older on July 2, and since she has been ordered to check into rehab within the next month and a half, the big day will indeed happen while she's in treatment.
She apparently had plans to throw a big party in NYC, and now that won't happen.
TMZ is claiming that she isn't bummed about the whole rehab stint, but just the fact that it will disrupt her party plans.
Lindsay was sentenced to rehab earlier this month stemming from a car accident last summer in which she initially claimed to have not been driving.
In case you aren't keeping count, this will mark the troubled Liz & Dick star's sixth time in rehab. Maybe the sixth time is the charm?
Oh, well — hopefully she'll be able to celebrate her 28th birthday as a free woman. Fingers crossed.

text: Because of changes to federal procedural rules that took effect on Friday, most US companies are going to be making changes in the way electronic documents and messages such as e-mail and IM are kept. Under these new rules, if a company is sued in federal court, they may be required to produce all electronic company records as well as paper ones - including inter-office e-mails, IMs, etc., so companies will have to develop methods to review, store. and organize all these electronic records. This means most companies will be retaining records longer and looking harder at employee's e-mails and IMs, even personal ones. So if you use e-mail or IM at work, be aware these e-mails are your employer's property, not yours, even if you delete them they still exist on your hard drive or network, and if your employer ever gets sued, some corporate lawyer will be looking at everyone's e-mails. So don't put anything in your e-mails, even personal ones, that you wouldn't want your employer to read! :)

Hey guys, you don't need to do beer burps to prove you're men! The blond, however, does his best to orally satisfy these dudes...
I think this is the hottest video I've ever seen. (However, those disgusting burping sound effects almost made my dick limp.) To be on call to come over and suck a group of ostensibly straight frat boys' insatiable cocks would be a wet dream come true. I'd love to taste the adorable blond kid, too. I'd gluttonously guzzle all their cum until each of their nut sacks were drained completely and then beg for more. Unfortunately, I don't think this kind of sweet arrangement typically happens in real life. Oh well. That's why porn was invented.
I LOVE "FraternityX", lots of HOT naked young guys, sucking cock & we ALL now that guys suck cock BETTER then any girl can!
the boy has skills lol

2.8 User Guide Additions: Advanced Templates
We thought it would be helpful to point out some of the additions and changes to the user guide that came with the release of ExpressionEngine 2.8. Today's topic: advanced templates.
Relative date formatting gives even greater control on how you present time-based information. There is a great deal of variety and control at your disposal with the relative date formatting parameters that you may not be aware of. For instance, did you know that the
format= and
timezone= parameters will take over when your stop= parameter kicks in? Or perhaps you even missed that all of your date variables can now be displayed in any timezone.
Modulus Operator for Conditionals
The modulus operator for conditionals was added in ExpressionEngine 2.7.1 last September, and we blogged about it but whoops! We neglected to add it to the user guide until December.
Multiple search:field= Parameter Clarification
In the example of using multiple search parameters in the Channel Entries tag:
{exp:channel:entries search:style="=ale" search:region="germany|belgium" search:rating="=3|4|5"}
We added the following explanation to help clarify how they will interact:
When using multiple search parameters, all search parameters must be matched in order for an entry to be included. The above example would pull back only those entries where the style is 'ale', the region is 'germany' or 'belgium' and the rating is 3, 4 or 5.
Relationship Namespaced Variables
Did you know that inside a Relationship tag pair that you can namespace and use any variable available to the Channel Entries tag, including
2.8 User Guide Additions: Developer Interest
We thought it would be helpful to point out some of the additions and changes to the user guide that came with the release of ExpressionEngine 2.8. Today's topic: advanced items of interest for developers.
System Configuration Overrides
Many of the system and site settings that are stored in the database can be overriden in config files. For power users, this can be handy to modify settings in different contexts. They are now fully documented with the config setting, allowed values, and an explanation of what they are for. This type of configuration is an advanced area of ExpressionEngine that you certainly don't have to understand or use in order to build a site, but some people like tinkering under the hood and for those people we now have all of these parts documented.
Developers, have you seen how simple it is to create SimplePie objects for working with Atom and RSS feeds? The new RSS Parser class allows you to do that. Say goodbye to Magpie.
As a result of things we have encountered while providing support, we have added a warning against excessive use of the Pages module, to help alert site builders before they head down a long dark path that is difficult to maintain and untangle.
ExpressionEngine 2.8 added memory-based caching options, but if you haven't changed your cache storage settings, you are still using files and disk I/O for caching. Are you up to speed on these new drivers, and what you need to ask your host to enable to take full advantage of them?
If you are an add-on developer, have you updated your add-ons to take advantage of the new Cache Class so that your users are able to benefit fully from utilizing memory-based caching?
Third-party developers historically were left to their own devices to add pagination to their add-ons, often copying/pasting from first-party modules to do so. This worked okay, but each of our modules had collected slightly different ways of handling pagination, with slightly different featuresets.
So we took our first steps to abstract things out to a useful Pagination library in version 2.4.0. That was refined and improved while it was in use on Channel Entries, Comments, and the Search module. In 2.8.0, we moved all first-party add-ons to the unified Pagination library, and simultaneously released final developer documentation as it is now stabilized and recommended for all developers to use.
2.8 User Guide Additions: Templates
We thought it would be helpful to point out some of the additions and changes to the user guide that came with the release of ExpressionEngine 2.8. Today's topic: templates.
Template Layouts are all new to ExpressionEngine 2.8. Have you read how to use them yet?
Template Routes are also new to ExpressionEngine 2.8. Visit this section of the user guide to see how to add advanced fine-grained control to your ExpressionEngine site's URL structure. ExpressionEngine's default URL structure is flexible and powerful, but some clients have very specific URL structures that have special needs. Now you can accommodate them without template tricks or a conditionals dance.
Previously the user guide only discussed Channel entry and Comment pagination, but now that pagination has been unified across all first-party modules, it was time to give its documentation some reorganization and refinement.
While providing support, we discovered that many users are implementing path variables like this:
Joe, Customer Service
So we thought we would highlight in the user guide that the {path=} variable can accept any number of segments, which makes for more readable templates.
Joe, Customer Service
Simple Conditional clarification
What variables are available in "simple" conditionals? No more guesswork or mistaken assumptions, we've documented what's available at that stage of the parsing engine.

American Airlines parent AMR is seeking bankruptcy court approval for its order for 260 Airbus A320 family aircraft that includes newly agreed to cost savings for the carrier.
The Fort Worth-based airline will benefit from unspecified "savings" as a result of the amended order, according to a court filing on 2 January. It is unclear whether Airbus reduced the cost of the order or offered improved financing terms.
"New, fuel-efficient aircraft will allow the debtors to optimise fuel consumption, enable them to fully compete for their share of 'high value' customers and maximise their revenues, thereby assuring their long-term viability and profitability," says AMR in the filing. "The debtors' fleet plan is a fundamental element of their business plan and their successful emergence from chapter 11."
"The amendments to the prepetition Airbus agreement have only served to enhance this arrangement and the economics attendant thereto," adds the carrier.
The US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved American's request to continue pre-delivery payments to Airbus in May 2012.
American's order is split between 130 A319s and A321s with deliveries from July 2013 through 2017, and 130 A320neo family aircraft with deliveries from 2017.
Airbus and Boeing committed $13 billion in financing to support the order as well as a simultaneous one for 200 Boeing 737s.

Vanessa Hudgens has gone through her share of growing pains in the last two years. Two nude photo scandals and countless rumors about her and boyfriend Zac Efron have taken a toll on the 20-year-old. Nevertheless, she kept her calm throughout the storm and is now opening up to Allure magazine about the lessons she's learned in the process. For the complete story, check out Allure's October issue, on newsstands nationwide on Sept. 22.
Go behind the scenes at Vanessa's Allure cover shoot
On her two nude photograph scandals:
"It's so aggravating and frustrating, and whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it's something I'm not comfortable with, they're like, 'Bulls---, you've already done it.' It's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistakes."
On Web rumors about a wedding in Hawaii with boyfriend Zac Efron:
"People love making up craziness. I don't know where it comes from. It's ridiculous."
On being under the spotlight of the paparazzi:
"I hate the whole see-and-be-seen feeling. I just hate knowing that people are looking at me."
On meeting her young fans' parents:
"I love dads because you get to see them squirm. It's extremely awkward because they don't want to put their arm around you. It's the crazy moms who are the worst."
On her butt kicking role in "Sucker Punch," a thriller described as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns":
"It totally is my Angelina Jolie part. I get to run around with guns and fight big men. I want to do things where people are like, 'Oh my God, that's Vanessa?' And not have it be something that's expected."

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross freshman quarterback Peter Pujals (Glenview, Ill.) has been selected as the Patriot League Rookie of the Week, for his performance in Saturday's 41-35 triple overtime loss to Harvard. This marks the third straight Patriot League Rookie of the Week selection for Pujals.
During Saturday's game against Harvard, Pujals hit on 33 of 50 attempts for a 345 yards and four touchdowns. He set new career highs for passing yards, completions and passing touchdowns, while totaling 352 all-purpose yards. Pujals directed an eight-play, 91-yard scoring drive to give Holy Cross a 21-14 lead with 3:11 left in the fourth quarter, then led the Crusaders to two more touchdowns in the first two overtime periods.
In four games played this season, Pujals has now connected on 71 of 108 attempts for 764 yards and eight scores, while running the ball 50 times for 167 yards and two touchdowns.
Holy Cross (2-4 overall) returns to action this Saturday, Oct. 12, when it travels to Bucknell (1-3 overall) for its Patriot League opener at 1:00 p.m.

Looks like Russell Simmons and girlfriend Julie Henderson are finding pleasant ways to kill time until the premiere of VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2009. The Def Jam co-founder and the swimsuit issue perennial spent the weekend relaxing at Miami's South Beach, canoodling in and out of the water. We'd say it "beats work," but strutting around in a bikini usually is work for Henderson.
You can catch the fully-clothed pair, as well as Def Jam stars past and present—from Ludacris to Flavor Flav—when VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2009 premieres on October 13th. For now, check out the happy couple in the gallery below.

How will replies sort?
Must be a slow news day.
They quoted 2 left wing nuts who are professors not medical doctors. I'm telling you this will happen. the board that makes this decision is hand picked by the commie.
As a side note, I worked 2 jobs for years. never once did I think, geez I deserve a fair wage ( whatever that is).
It amazes me that people complain about minimum wage. it's not intended to be a living wage. it's basic entry level positions that are normally performed by high school or college students. you are not guaranteed a wage nor should you be.
I'm sorry you had to work as much as you did and that things were tough. you would think that you would have higher aspirations for your children but unless they are disabled, it doesn't sound like you do.
Since there is the appearance of impropriety here and I feel an unethical arrangement, how exactly should it be written. they got all the details and I think reported in a fair way. Doesn't feel sensational to me.
I don't like how the header(s) take up 1/4 to 1/3 of the page. I also like to follow comments on stories but now the stories are disappearing too quickly and you can't find them. Having the top 10-15 on the home page was nice.
don't forget the headwinds.
It's not the NRA that is the obstacle. It's all Americans that believe in our constitution and it's absolute rights guaranteed to us. The problem with encroaching on rights is that people in power always incrementally take them away until they're gone.
Perhaps you should pay attention to Bloomberg in NYC and what he's done and intending to do during his tenure as mayor. can't have trans fat, can't have salt, can't have large drinks, can't have anything HE deems not good for you. Don't buy into the progressive mindset.
We, as a country, need to change our behavior in order to keep our republic. Only a good and moral people can remain free. That's what you should focus on. Not the gun.
I have a problem with both of those laws.
What is up with the twittering feed above. nice language.
Bloomberg will run every aspect of their life if they let him. very dangerous when you allow government to tell you what you can eat and drink. this is how it starts. whittle away at the stuff it's hard to argue about.
Perhaps he should focus on the increase in violence instead of controlling things that are none of his business. If someone wants to drink themselves into a sugar coma, what's it to him.
Is being a grown up calling people names like you?
I have to say it's cartoonish. I'm also not sure i like the huge reduction of info. the previous page was way to busy but this is the extreme opposite. we'll get used to it.
Good one
Doobster, you actually seem lucid at times.
feel better calling someone an idiot? i've noticed you have the nastiest, sarcastic posts.
you really can't see the difference between this crime and a sex crime?
When someone commits a sex crime, the idea is to past his picture everywhere to humiliate. Put him out there for everyone to see him and know who he is and what he did. They want to be in the shadows.
This guy who committed all those murders and booby-trapped his apartment did it in a spectacular fashion to get notoriety and be all over the news. So we don't give him what he wants. Remove him from the pictures and focus on the victims.
Armond, I'll just point out that if you own your home with no mortgage, you are not required to have insurance on it. the requirement comes from the bank and not legislation.
What exactly would you be insuring against? You wouldn't have loss of property. Possibly liability but that would be an accidental shooting (insurance would never cover an intentional shooting be it legal or illegal). Not sure how your suggestions solves anything but seems just punative in nature.
a background check wouldn't have prevented him from purchasing a gun. he had no record.

It had sounded good. Every morning, according to the Swiss tourism press materials I had received, we would wake in some beautiful Swiss village, mount our Swiss rental bicycles for a leisurely 20- to 30-mile ride to our next stop, where our luggage would be waiting in what I was sure would be edelweiss-scented rooms. Three days of cycling through winding valleys, along an "almost entirely flat" route, "rated easy, ideal for everybody including families with children." Impossible-to-miss signage, promised the press materials (and Robert). Great exercise, I was sure. Excellent muesli for breakfast. Ill-fated but transiently satisfying romances with trusting burghers' daughters named Heidi.
It had sounded great. It had sounded like seven days (two days in the Alps to get acclimated before the cycling, a day afterward to wind down) of all-expense-paid traveling through a foreign country that, its history of duplicity, casual anti-Semitism and Nazi-sympathizing notwithstanding, had clean bathrooms. These were important to me, because even though I am a seasoned citizen of the world, I sometimes suffer from digestive issues related to what a psychologist once labeled "generalized anxiety disorder," which I think she wrote just so she could make some money from my insurance company. My point is, I think my problems are due more to a sensitive disposition and a finely calibrated awareness of the black, bottomless existential abyss that yawns beneath us all than they are to any kind of chemical imbalances or readily diagnosable "disorders" common to hordes of others who happen to possess tightfisted insurance-plan administrators and inventive psychologists. Why are people always so eager to label what they cannot understand?
No matter how great a trip sounds, a seasoned adventurer, a citizen of the world, is always prepared. I knew there might be some problems, so I packed accordingly. Anti-diarrheal tablets. Sensible shoes. Rain gear. Sunscreen. A 700-page novel about 19th-century British explorers being stalked and eaten by a gigantic mutant polar bear in the Arctic wastes, in case I got bored, or tired, or sick of the other freeloading seasoned adventurers sucking at the swollen, historically guilty teat of Swiss tourism. I also packed some Hawaiian shirts, because Hawaiian shirts are in style everywhere in the world, despite what my former girlfriend said. I brought my special, prostate-protecting Velo Plush seat, for obvious medical reasons, which I would have the crack Swiss bike mechanics attach to the lightweight and high-end Swiss bicycle I planned to pedal with pantherish vitality. I packed a Durango Fire and Rescue cap (given to me by a guy who actually worked for the unit) to impress any potential Heidis.

Exclusive content only available to those who buy games brand new.
Sony has at last made its PSN Pass official, aiming to offer exclusive online content to those who buy PS3 games brand new, rather than snagging pre-owned copies for a fraction of the price.
The new package will launch in September alongside Resistance 3. Gamers who stump up for the title will find a single-use code bundled in the box, which will allow them access to extra goodies online.
In a statement to Eurogamer, the Big S said, "This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio."
Is PSN Pass fair? Should gamers be forced to buy new titles rather than second-hand ones? Tell us what you think on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

They are called QR codes, or quick response codes. A QR code is a two-dimensional code that can be read with a QR bar code reader or application on your mobile device. Each QR code is unique and can be driven to any digital information you want, like a URL, contact information or other data.
QR codes are helping bridge the gap between the print and digital marketing by providing a quick way to immediately engage people with your company. People are busy and most of us have very short attention spans. This means we have to capture and engage with people in the moment with relevant information.
QR codes present a lot of opportunity for accounting firms due to their versatility and tracking capabilities. If you want to explore QR codes, here is how to get started.
1. Decide where you want to place the QR code. This is usually placed on print materials, like your business card, marketing materials, advertisements, trade show materials or mailed lead generation or drip marketing campaign materials.
2. Decide what action you want your visitor to take. Using a QR codes allows you to drive people to do something, so you have to decide what you want that action to be. It could be as simple as downloading your contact information, liking your Facebook page or downloading a document.
3. Craft your message. Your message or the content you are sharing should be relevant to the materials the QR code is being placed on. For example, if you're running a campaign promoting experience in health care, consider creating a landing page that communicates your depth of experience and offers up a free white paper on the hot topic of the moment that the visitor can download.
5. Market your QR code. Once you have generated you code, you will need to market it by placing it on relevant materials. Be creative with where you place your code, keeping in mind that you want people to take action.
6. Track your success. Depending on what action you are trying to drive, you will likely want to track your progress. Make sure that the QR code generator you choose to use has analytics if that is important to you.

Totally agree with Sarah on needing the QRs to be dynamic AKA recyclable. I have my recyclable QR that I got from a website called uQR.me and printed it on my business cards and I have another one for my presentation pamphlets which I link to other reports. I can change what does QRs are linked to as many times as I want and NEVER have to reprint my pamphlet or my business cards.

Allan- Thank you for adding your insights. I agree completely that crafting your message correctly is very important. Dynamic QR codes will absolutely give you more flexibility.
Posted by: Sarah j | July 19, 2011 2:25 PM
Swright- I am happy to help clarify. The overarching purpose is to help drive engagement with a brand (or company). In todays environment capturing attention is tough to do. QR codes can help you drive engagement by giving an individual and easy and quick way to engage with your company in the moment from a mobile device. The beauty about QR codes is that they can be accessed using a smart phone or camera phone as long as you have the app. That means instant engagement. Here are just some ways I could see an accounting firm using a QR code: sharing virtual contact info on a business card (download the info instantly into your phone- eliminate manual entry); lead generation campaign (drive a prospect to a specialized landing page); use at a tradeshow to drive a visitor to targeted information.
As far as how they work- they are comprised of linear black lines and white spaces (aka barcode). The barcode is encoded with the data you choose to associate with it. (text, url or other data) When a user scans the barcode they will then see the information its encoded with.
Posted by: Sarah j | July 19, 2011 2:22 PM
Interesting, but of two questiosn posed in the opening paragraph, I could not find the real [useful?] answer to "what purpose do they serve?" Yes, there is the discussion that they should, to paraphrase, guide the vistor's actions. However, that is far past the more basic question- what do they do and how do they work? I'm not tech savvy, and perhaps that is why I am stil at a loss as to what QRs do and how to use them, whether in an accounting firm or in any other application.
Posted by: swright | July 19, 2011 10:25 AM
Hi Sarah, While I agree with almost everything I believe you missed a couple key points.
1. Sending QR codes to anything other than mobile optimized content is a no-no. Mobile screens are tiny, and most traditional websites, Linkedin and Facebook included, are not generally formatted for viewing on a mobile device. Give the scanners a rewarding experience by sending them to content they can easily view.
2. While it is VERY important to craft your message correctly, it is equally important to have the ability to change that message if it's wrong, outdated, or ineffectual. By using a dynamic QR code you can modify your message at any time without having to recreate/reprint the actual QR code.

Finally got my games working by ditching the USB loader and burning the ISO to disc, now working fine using NeoGamma R7 direct from a disc...
Guess the USB loader just dont work for all games.
Still having the same problems... Any other ideas???
Finally got my games working by ditching the USB loader and burning the ISO to disc, now working fine using NeoGamma R7 direct from a disc...
Guess the USB loader just dont work for all games.
Sounds like your memory stick is too full delete a game. Also you need a minimum of Rev9 IOS 249... And you probably know this but you need to put usb on the outside port.
Every game i have works. I think your usb device may be non compatable...
Last edited by Splatacus09; 10-01-2009 at 07:51 AM.
The stick is not full, And I have Rev14 IOS 249.
MOst games were working ok on the USB, Ashes Cricket for example... But Wacky World Sport and Monkey Mischief were not working..
It is only a cheap 16GB Memory Stick, nothing special...
wacky world has a problem, so does not work
I have craigfoot's situation more or less; NTSC Wii with 4.1U and IOS249 Rev 14 with USB Loader GX Rev773. GX is on homebrew channel though, not as a menu channel.
I formatted an 8 GB Patriot Memory USB Flash Drive as well as a 200 GB external HD and used WBFS Manager 3.0 to put a few games on both. So I try the flash drive and put it in the bottom USB port on the Wii and try to load up Super Paper Mario (NTSC) on GX but I got a black screen, same thing happened with the HD. Also when I tried WiiFit (NTSC) and Wii Sports Resort, I got the nintendo chirp sound but still a black screen. Fiddled with the settings like 002 error fix and such but nothing works.
Tried other USB loaders, and Neogamma, also got black screens. But I can run backups of the same games from discs using Neogamma R7 though.
Am I that unlucky to have these incompatible USB devices or games?
Tried 222 with the flash drive and HD, and with some various settings, still nothing.


text: Sorry to hi jack but I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with these loaders. For some reason I can't rip my originals at anything greater than .1Mbps. This is true for both loader 1.5 and loader gx. Not sure if I've done something wrong but I can't find anything anywhere about slow rip speeds.

fans can be a pain sometimes
i love our fans. they are the bomb. they are what keeps us going and enable us to play live and get paid for it, but i'm telling you they can be a pain sometimes.
i'm in a new band now that is an outgrowth of another band i was in that became fairly popular and had a lot of fans. many of those fans are now fans of the new band, and that's where the trouble starts. this weekend i decided it was time to create some web pages for us on places like myspace, facebook, ilike, and so on, but much to my surprise i discovered that our fans have already created pages for us on all those web sites. they've used our band name in every case, but most of the pages have very little information about us on them. i want to take over those pages but i can't because i don't know who created them in the first place. so far, i managed to get control of the facebook page but i don't know how i'm going to get to the other pages. sheesh! i mean, bless their well meaning hearts, but these people can be a pain sometimes!

by Adam Buckman | December 23, 2012 at 10:27 AM | TV News
CNN anchor Erin Burnett got married, just in time for Christmas.
Burnett, 36, wed her long-time boyfriend, David Rubulotta, an executive at Citigroup (parent company of CitiBank), on Friday in New York, according to this story on the People magazine Web site.
Burnett and Rubulotta, 42 (according to People), had a small wedding apparently — exchanging vows at New York City Hall (though the story didn't say if Mayor Bloomberg officiated), then enjoyed a reception at a Manhattan restaurant.
People magazine said Burnett and Rubulotta met eight years ago on a blind date. They announced their engagement last September.
Burnett's CNN show, "OutFront," is seen weekdays at 7 p.m. (6c). The show started out at 8 p.m., though, anchoring CNN's prime-time lineup, but didn't generate the ratings CNN had hoped for.
CNN has struggled to keep pace in the cable news wars (which Fox News Channel leads by a wide margin) in recent years. And now, Burnett is reportedly being eyed for yet another role at CNN — co-anchor of the network's morning show. That move is expected to be made when CNN's new president, Jeff Zucker, officially starts his new job in the new year.

Blessings and Prayer
"Lord, teach us to pray...." (Luke 11:1)
Say the Blessing before Meals
Thank the Lord for His gifts as you sit down to eat a meal, saying or singing a blessing from the Word together as a family.
Prayer is conversation with the Lord. We invite Him to help us by making a conscious decision to talk with Him about what is on our minds and in our hearts. Prayer can lift our minds to consider the spiritual aspect of our lives and making us more receptive of what the Lord wants to give us. It has the potential of changing us, not the Lord.
- Try to make a habit of praying once or twice a day, perhaps in the morning and in the evening.
- Teach your children the Lord's Prayer, saying it with them.
- When you say the Lord's Prayer, try to focus your thoughts on the meaning of the words.
- Talk to the Lord in times of trouble. He already knows what is going on in our lives, so we might as well talk about it with Him!
- Try writing your own prayer to the Lord. If you find this difficult, look in the Old or New Testament for one or two verses which praise the Lord, thank Him, or ask for His help.
Visit New Church Vineyard: Praying to the Lord for prayer related activities, projects and readings.
Available at New Church Bookstore
- The Lord's Prayer a book for children written by Phil Parker
- Learning to Pray a book of prayers adapted from the Word by the Rev. Kurt Horigan Asplundh

"People who are in this great country of ours who have done so well understand they're supposed to contribute more. They know that," Reid said from the Senate floor.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell blasted the Democratic plan for raising taxes on a million small business owners. He said the bill suggests that "these one million businesses didn't create success and we need to take this money [from them] because we can spend it better."
Republican Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch called the plan "a compromise," saying on the Senate floor that "our economy needs relief, our businesses, and all we are proposing is extending the current law for a year so that we can dedicate that year to do tax reform."
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Republican claims that the Democratic plan "will hurt small business owners is nothing but a smoke screen to protect the highest earners in America."
In a surprise move, Republicans allowed a simple majority vote on the Democratic plan so that they could vote on their alternative plan.

The Battle of the Sabis (57 BCE)
|Battle of the Sabis (57 BCE): fight in which Julius Caesar defeated the Belgian tribe of the Nervians. The Sabis is identical to the modern river Selle, not with the Sambre - this misunderstanding has been surprisingly hard to get rid of, although the evidence for Selle location is conclusive and was put forward more than half a century ago.
|The photo above (#1 on the map below)
shows the
battlefield at the Sabis, where Julius
Caesar defeated the Nervians in the summer of 57
BCE. It was
a difficult fight, as he tells us in his Commentaries on the War in
Gaul, 2.16-28.
Caesar was following the ancient
road from the Atrebates to the Nervians,
which already existed in the Late Bronze age, and which you
can see above and, well, can not see to the left, on photo #2 (clue).
|Caesar approached from the southwest, knowing that the
Nervians and
their allies were somewhere across the Sabis, which is now called
He ordered his cavalry to go in front of his eight legions and cover
while the soldiers were building their camp on the west bank of the
river, which he describes as "a hill sloped down evenly from its summit
to the river Sabis" (more...).
legionaries were to build their build their camp parallel to the
little river on the ridge shown here on photo #3, west of modern
Saulzoir, which may be identical to the Hermomacum mentioned on the Peutinger Map.
(Today, it is best known as one of the towns along the classic cycle
race Paris-Roubaix, l'Enfer du Nord.) You are looking from the ancient
road -which is still in use- to the position
of the Tenth
legion; the slope down to the river is to the right. Today, this
is called Le Quesnoy.
|Photo #4 shows the same ridge, now looking to the south from more or less the same position. The main road to the river is to the left, and you are looking to place where the Eleventh and the Eighth legions were to build their camp. The gentle hill to the right is called L' Epinette and Le Cheminet.
|The western wall of the camp of the Eleventh and Eight
legions was
behind the ridge shown on photo #5. The slope is probably artificial,
there is no indication that it is the wall of the Caesarian camp,
it was near this site. The small woodland to the right is known as Bois
de Montrecourt. The advance guard occupied the ridge and started to
a camp, protected by the cavalry.
|The cavalry had proceeded beyond the ridge and reached
the Sabis, which,
according to Caesar, "was about a meter deep" (more...).
You are looking to the south; the Roman bank, occupied by Caesar's
is to the right, and the Nervians occupied the bank to the left. The
unexpectedly rushed forward, defeated the Roman cavalry, and proceeded
to the ridge.
|Photo #7 shows the most northern part of the ridge, with,
to the right,
the Bois le Kien. This was the place that was occupied by the Ninth
legion, which was on Caesar's left wing. On this slope, they had to
fight against the Atrebates, which were tired from crossing the river
easily driven back (more...).
|On photo #8, we look from to north to Le Quesnoy, the
site of the Tenth
legion's camp, close to the Ninth. "They hurled their javelins and
many Atrebates," tells Caesar, "and rapidly drove them downhill into
river. My men pursued them as they tried to get across, and with their
swords killed great numbers of them as they struggled in the water."
|This photo, #9, shows the plain on the east bank of the
Selle, known
as Le Paradis. It measures about a square kilometer and was the site of
the camp of the Nervians. According to Caesar, there were about 60,000
of them, and they were far more dangerous than the Atrebates. They
the river, and attacked the Twelfth
and the Seventh
legions on the west bank, Caesar's right wing. He admits that his men
it very hard to cope with the attack.
|Photo #12 shows the main battlefield. You are looking
from the Nervian
camp to the Selle and the camp of the Twelfth and Seventh. "It was on
position," writes Caesar, "that the entire army of the Nervians [...]
in a solid mass. Some of them began to surround the legions on their
flank; others made for the top of the hill, where the camp was."
|The main
again, on photo #10, taken from the foot of the water
tower that today dominates the village of Saulzoir. The road leads to
capital of the Nervians, Bagacum, modern Bavay, and was already in
existence in Antiquity (shown by the presence of prehistoric funeral
mounds). This
site was the camp
of the Viromandui, who had been defeated by the Eighth and Eleventh
in the Roman center. They must have made their escape along this road.
|The battle was more or less in balance; on the Roman
left and in the
center, the legionaries were successful, but on their right wing, the
had pushed back the Seventh and Twelfth. They were saved by the
of the Tenth, Titus Labienus, who, after defeating the Atrebates and
the Sabis, led his men across "difficult ground" (more...),
which is shown on photo #13. It is now called Les Fossés.
|Labienus occupied the Nervian camp and from the high
ground (more...)
shown on this photo (#11), he saw that the Roman right wing was in
He immediately attacked the Nervians in their rear. They were now

Rated 4 out of 5�by UnicornStacy Can't beat this sale price with a stick! I love this shoe though the ankle strap does seem a little flimsy. Bebe shoes are either hit or miss. This is a hit in terms of comfort and wearability. It'd be great as a work shoe or with jeans and a sweater or blazer and cute top. Very versatile. I got the brown. Get them if they still have them.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen Shoshana Bean and Megan Hilty in Wicked?
Shoshana is from a Portland suburb and Megan is from a Seattle suburb, so they're doing the NW cities on the Wicked tour, which is really exciting....but I don't know how excited I am. Has anyone seen them?
My daughters listen to the cast recording daily, and have for two years, so they have really high expectations for the vocal talent. No one can be an Idina Menzel or a Kristen Chenoweth....so I'm hoping they won't be disappointed when they see the show for the first time next month.
We're building up to our Wicked run here in Portland. We have tix as a family in the fourth row for one show and my daughter and I have our usual subscription seats in the 30th row another night. My husband and I saw Wicked in 2004 (got to see Idina!) and I got to see it last year with MiceChatters in July 2005. The girls are freaking out, but like I said, expectations are HIGH.
Tell me about your Wicked experience!
