The Passing: A title ripe for parody. 3
I appreciate I should have incorporated a hilarious pun into the title. Something about "not passing up on the passing!!". A brilliant opportunity missed, I fear... Oh well.The Passing is a three chapter DLC campaign for Left 4 Dead 2. And it's one last chance for you to fapp over Zoey. The campaign is set amidst a tropical storm and looks fantastic with all the bright neon signs cluttered around, but don't expect anything revolutionary on the visual front. The general layout is fairl...15 out of 15 found this review helpful.

Heavy rain falls dramatically reducing visibility, the roaring thunder cancels out the noise of our approaching enemies making their ambushes a total surprise. As we fight our way through waist-deep water and floating corpses, we lost one of our comrades. I turn around, blind firing through the thick vegetation hoping to kill the coming onslaught of undead, for if we stopped to fight we would surly meet our demise.

One Year Later, Killing Zombies Is Still A Blast 5
When the reveal trailer for Left 4 Dead 2 was shown at E3 '09, the world exploded. Well, not really. The internet exploded. Boycotts were set up, messages boards were attacked, and upset gamers everywhere were crying wolf. Even though many people lost faith in Valve as a developer, there is no denying that Left 4 Dead 2 is an excellent sequel to the best zombie game of 2008. It's that time once again! The concept of L4D2 is simple. You play as one of four (new) Survivors of the zombie apocalyps...12 out of 16 found this review helpful.
Two-trick zombie 0
Last year, I wrote that Left 4 Dead was a fun title that was high on quality, but low on quantity. It was a "one-trick pony" that provided a highly exciting four player cooperative experience, but not really enough of anything else to justify its hefty price tag. With Left 4 Dead 2, I was hopeful that we'd get a game that could fill the emptiness left by its predecessor. And while Left 4 Dead 2 does have more content than before, it's simply too little, too late. It feels more like an expansion ...5 out of 6 found this review helpful.
Left 4 Head 0
I thought this game was a kick ass shooter game that is a must be played game. The zombies where a bit better than the last game, they added about 1-3 new infected zombies(main ones) and they also don't spawn the same zombies in the same spot(as well as L4D1) That means that you will never have the same game play twice. You need friends to play this game with full excitement. Even playing in a split screen in fun.

The zombies are back but its all a little underwhelming 0
Its been a busy time for Valve, In the space of only a year they brought out a squeal to game that just barely over a year old it self. It was an odd move by them considering how much time they normal put in there games. None the less Left For Dead 2 is here and whether you like it or not it seems the series is here to stay. For the most part the gameplay is fairly unchanged. Its your the same modes you had before (plus a couple of new ones).

More of a re-do than a true sequel. 0
When Left 4 Dead 2 was announced at E3 this past summer, it was greeted by a buzz of disbelief. Valve is typically slow to churn out expansions and sequels (see Half-Life 2's resume), how is it that they're already all-systems-go with a sequel to a game that was released hardly a year ago? Furthermore, can we be assured that it's decisively better than the first game, which suffered from shortness and a limited amount of replay value? The original Left 4 Dead was plagued by shortness and a f...2 out of 3 found this review helpful.
A Surprising Expansion Makes L4D2 Even More Replayable 1
Left 4 Dead made a name for itself largely with the help of its AI director system. The idea was that the game would track what players were doing, and send in varying levels of zombie swarms and items accordingly. This system was a big success, and gave both L4D and its sequel great replay value. Before its release, The Passing was billed as the first Left 4 Dead level in which the AI director would take control of the story in addition to the intensity of enemy attacks. In an interview on ga...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

This is an unusual prospect for Valve - a full sequel, actually featuring more content than its predecessor did at release, being put out only a year later. Given that the Half-Life 2 episodes were supposed to be a quick way to continue the story yet we're still waiting for so much as a teaser trailer for the third one five years later, it definitely seems kind of weird. Still, the game is here, and improves on the first in a lot of ways. I wouldn't say it's better, because a lot of it come...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
A great improvement on the original despite being censored- 0
The original left 4 dead holds some of my favorite gaming memories of all time. Me and my mates would scramble through each of the campaigns together and I swear the amount of time I spent in versus mode rivalled the amount of time I spent in WoW(read:lots).The sequel garnered quite a bit of bad press(locally at least) regarding the fact that the game would be censored for Aussie gamers. This turned me off buying the game so my love of zombie killing faded. UNTIL valve decided to put Left 4 Dea...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Good idea, poor execution 0
If the idea of meeting up with the Survivors from Left 4 Dead 1 really excites you, you're probably going to be disappointed by The Passing. The idea had lots of potential, but the way Valve executed it leaves much to be desired. You only see the other Survivors twice throughout the entire thing, and there are only 3 chapters to play through. The interactions between the two groups of humans is pretty dry, and each of the original characters (except for the one that is considered dead) only seem...1 out of 2 found this review helpful.

Left 4 Dead 2 was cheap one weekend, so i bought it for like 30bucks, and was plesantly surprised and disappointed all the same.

Left 4 Dead 2 needs more 0
With the first Left 4 Dead, I honestly felt as if I were part of the apocalypse. The color scheme was dark and dreary, the characters acted as if they were afraid of the zombies, rather than mocking them, and it was fairly difficult. Left4Dead2 was a let down, and it introduced the defibrillator, which I find to make the game much easier, which is not what a game should be. Though most of the dialogue is humorous, it takes away from the horror aspect of the game. It didn't help that ...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

Left 4 Dead 2 XBOX 360 I think that the success of Left 4 dead 2 will have come as a surprise to most people, with the exception of the developers at Valve. They must have been sitting smugly just watching the sales rack up. Even though its release was nearly 12 months ago, it rightly deserves its position in the top 10 of favorite games.

"Left 4 Dead is the new best horror franchise" is an odd thing to say, especially for me. After playing a metric ton of the first game, I was satisfied with it just being another zombie game that hadn't really reached its potential. When a second game was announced, I figured it was going to play just like the first and be nothing more than a map pack.

Left 4 Dead 2 is a co-op survival game. You must endure one of the many campaigns with the help of your friends through the internet -- these friends can also be CPU-controlled bots.

POTSDAM - Late-period goals sparked contrasting wins for the Massena Central and St. Lawrence Central hockey teams in the Section 10 championship games on Sunday at Cheel Arena.
In the Division I final, top-seeded Potsdam Central carried a 2-1 lead into the final minute of regulation before the defending champion Raiders tied the game with 23 seconds left then completed a stunning 3-2 comeback win just 53 seconds into overtime when freshman Patrick Manning one-timed a short range shot into the back of the net.
For top-seeded SLC, the pivotal goals were delivered just 47 seconds apart by sophomore Lukas Arquiett in the final minute of the second period and the Larries were able to relay their momentum into the Division II championship with a convincing 6-1 decision over Norwood-Norfolk.
Both sectional champions will now gear up to host New York State quarter-final round games this Saturday with Massena slated to take on Section 9 champion Monroe-Woodbury at the Massena Arena starting at 7 p.m. and the Larries facing off against Webster Thomas of Section 5 at a time that was yet to be determined.
Massena 3, Potsdam 2 (OT): After an evenly played first period that saw the Raiders produce the only goal when Dylan Stone knocked home the rebound of a shot from the left point by Josh Blair for a power play tally at the 4:11 mark. Manning also drew an assist on the opening goal.
The Sandstoners tied the game just 43 seconds into the second period with a transition goal that began with a clearing pass from behind the endline up the from Mason Bartell to Trevor Keleher, who controlled the puck just outside the Potsdam zone then rushed it down the right wing before sliding a pass across the top of the slot to Robbie Scott who made no mistake depositing it into the back of the net.
The early goal set the tone for the rest of the period as Potsdam outshot the Raiders 12-6.
The Sandstoners continued to control the game to start the third and took advantage of a Raider penalty to take the lead at the 8:20 mark when Scott backhanded a rebound from the left slot after a shot from the right wing by Josh Locey. Keleher also helped set up the go-ahead goal.
But the Raiders began to generate some late chances and shortly after having pulled netminder Connor Paquin, Grayson Phillips controlled the puck at the top of the left face-off circle in the Potsdam zone and blistered a shot toward the upper glove side of Potsdam keeper Devon Crary, who got a piece of the puck before it fluttered over his left shoulder and came to rest just across the goal line before he reached back to cover it with just 23 seconds left, sending the game into overtime.
After the short intermission, the Raiders wasted little time completing their comeback in OT with Manning finishing off a centering pass from the right corner by Ryan Moffitt for the game-winner.
The puck was in the corner and I kind of duffed on my first pass. I was lucky to get the puck over to Ryan on the other side then I just skated toward the net. I dont know how I got so wide open. When I saw the puck go in, I just said to myself, Did I just score the winning goal? Its just a great feeling, Manning recalled.
Paquin stood tall working the crease for 29 saves in the win as the Raiders (14-6-2) earned a second straight trip to the state tournament by knocking off the NAC regular season champion Sandstoners.
We came out very strong in the first period but we had a major letdown in the second period, said Massena coach Mike Trimboli. We let the game get away from us.
Give Potsdam credit. Theyre a very good hockey team. We just never quit. Connor made some big saves and we didnt let them get the third goal. It really is tough to beat a team three times, he added.
Crary finished with 19 saves for the Sandstoners, who went 15-7 on the season.
Ive been coaching 20 years. Ive coached a lot of different sports. Ive been coaching at the high school level and Ive coached at the college level. This is the toughest loss Ive ever had as a coach, said Al Benda afterward. Give credit to Massena. I thought we played really well and we had the better of the game but they hung in there.
St. Lawrence 6, Norwood-Norfolk 1: In the nightcap at Cheel, the teams skated to a 1-1 tie through the first 29 minutes before back-to-back goals by Arquiett in the closing minute of the second period propelled the Larries past the Icemen.
I was pleased with the way we played defensively in the first period but I wasnt happy with our offense. We werent handling the puck very well and we werent playing our game, said coach Mickey Locke after the Larries advanced to the state tournament for the first time in four years. Once we started to get the puck deep and work our forecheck, we started to get some pressure in the second period.
The pressure eventually led to the decisive scoring outburst by Arquiett, who put the Larries ahead 2-1 with 48 seconds left in the middle frame when he fired home a loose puck from the top of the slot after a collision of players knocked N-N sophomore netminder Brandon Richards out of position. Kody Kocsis drew the lone assist with good hustle to nulify a possible icing call.
While Arquietts first goal held up as the game-winner, his second proved to be the back-breaker as wristed home a shot from the right face-off circle into the back of the net with just one-tenth of a second remaining. Blake Baldwin and Ian Lynch drew assists.
The game was tied 1-1 and we thought thats what the score would be going into the lockerroom for the second intermission. Giving up those two goals late just killed us, said coach Paul Durant, who guided the Icemen to a 12-9-2 record this winter.
You could see our kids started to get down on themselves and St. Lawrence didnt let up in the third period, Durant added.
The Larries went ahead 4-1 when Nate Stickney netted a power play goal from Baldwin and Eric Lynch with 8:15 remaining. Ian Lynch struck for his second of the game just 20 seconds later from Arquiett then completed his hattrick when he converted on a lead pass from Jarek Crump with 3:17 left.
Ian Lynch opened the scoring assisted by Arquiett 8:47 into the game before Dan Fyckes pulled the Icemen even when he finished off a play set up by Troy Kovach and Brandon Cousineau just over two minutes later with the teams skating 4-on-4.
Senior Nate McLaughlin had 20 saves backstopping the win as the Larries, who captured the NAC Division II regular season banner earlier this month, improved to 16-5-1 with their third win in as many tries against the Icemen. Richards turned aside 18 shots in the losing cause.

Copenhagen firefighters at 1:49 a.m. responded to the Shawn P. ODonnell residence at 10388 Stoddard Road and requested mutual aid from West Carthage, Castorland and Champion fire departments.
The blaze caused heavy interior structural damage to the one-story home, with its contents listed as a total loss, according to Lewis County Fire Coordinator James M. Martin.
There was no insurance on the residence.
The fire started in the chimney, then spread quickly into the structure due to high winds, Mr. Martin said.

The Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on Long Island
Kevin Schultz
It was weird turning on the television last night for the first time in days (I'm lucky enough to be able to say that I could) and seeing CBS news anchors asking for viewers to donate to the Red Cross to "help your neighbors." Usually, the request is to help someone in a far off state or country. There's usually some sense of removal whether that is due to a long physical distance between you and the disaster or the simple removal that comes from seeing something on a screen. But distance and TV screens don't matter when the call is to help your 'neighbors', a slick way of getting around the fact that you could, quite literally, be donating right back to yourself. When you see it through that lens, it's kind of stunning.
Going back to Sunday, I had a whole lot of things in the hopper ready to be posted about the Islanders and the NHL. Between the move to the Barclays and the concert gone bad at the Coliseum on Saturday night the dry, monotonous, lull of the lockout got a lot more interesting last week. You can bet I was ready to write about it. And I still am, but it's not quite the time yet. The biggest story in the history of the New York Islanders is not quite so important anymore. Not after the biggest storm in the history of the Island.
More than 600,000 homes — not people, homes — on Long Island still don't have power four days after the storm. There's no gasoline and when there is, the station is sold out in hours. It's impossible to drive anywhere and not have to turn around because there's a downed tree blocking the road, sometimes tangled in a power line with a transformer. The majority of traffic lights still aren't working, but people are hospitable enough to stop and go as if they are. The stereotypical 'New York drivers' have taken a holiday.
If you're still without power, it's awful. There's no doubt about that. But even if that's the case, you might be counting your blessings that a tree didn't fall on your house, a boat didn't land in your bedroom, or worse.
For those of you not living in the region, yes, the pictures you're seeing of Long Beach Island in Jersey, Breezy Point in Queens, and downtown NYC are real, extremely saddening and very scary. The news media automatically zooms into the hardest hit places and that's great, because it will prompt you, the government, and everyone else to help the people hit the hardest in whatever way that they can.
What they're not showing you on the news is the damage done to literally every neighborhood on Long Island. Nearly every block on every street has massive trees down. The vast majority of the small, younger trees made it through the storm. But every neighborhood has a few of those 50 or 100 year old trees and the vast majority of those trees are now lying on houses, in streets, or leaning precariously on power lines.
A 50-ft sycamore came down on top of a house on my girlfriend's block. The neighbors said the boy living in the upstairs bedroom where the tree hit had gone downstairs minutes before. The house still stands but there's almost nothing left of the caved in top floor.
In another part of her neighborhood, there are two sycamores entangled with each other lying across a street blocking one exit to the neighborhood (pictured, right). To make it extra tricky, the trees were able to yank down the power lines across the street, but not quite all the way. At the other exit to the neighborhood, there's another lying across the street that cars are cautiously navigating around (pictured, below). Yesterday, probably after being sick of looking at it for two days, a group of men from the neighborhood got some chain saws and went at the trees in the first picture. I'm not sure how far they got as it was an awfully big task without professional equipment.
There's been no help in this neighborhood from LIPA, FEMA or anyone else. Not because of neglect but because 90% of Long Island was without power after the storm on Monday night. By those statistics, it's easy to tell that this neighborhood is only one of many across Long Island with these problems. The resources that are here are stretched so thin that large military transports are flying in more crews and equipment to help clean up the mess of fallen trees and more.
There are a lot of trees on Long Island and it's as if someone picked out all the oldest, biggest ones and tipped them over. Some are blocking roads while others have take up residence in houses or on power lines. A select few trees fell across yards, thankfully missing everything except grass.
If you're on the coast, it's much worse. Neighborhoods are flooded with water, beached boats and, well, large swaths of beach. Small communities with only small exits like Bayville and Asharoken were completely cut off during the storm and flooded.
I'm not asking you to donate anything to me; my family and I are thankfully alright. The cars are full of gas — we haven't really gone anywhere all week — and we've got food to last a little while. But there's a lot of people here who need help. Maybe it's as simple as a warm shower, maybe it's as complex as house that needs to be rebuilt. But it's not good here. And it isn't good for a lot of people.
Long Island will make it, we always do. But it's going to be a very long road. If you can read this blog post, you're most likely in a warm, internet filled home. There are more than half a million homes on Long Island that are not warm, not internet filled and may not be for at least another week — maybe more — with the weather taking colder dip in the coming days. It's the same in New Jersey, New York City and other places. If you can reach out to someone personally to offer a hand, do it. I don't like telling you what to do with your money, but if you can't reach out personally and can spare some money for the Red Cross' relief effort that will help those hardest hit, it's probably a good idea.
After I got power back and took a look at Twitter, the latest news on the lockout seemed infinitely more hollow than it had before (and it was pretty damned hollow before). The NHL's story 'encouraging support' for donations is shallow at best and feels like jamming a stick in the eye of this region. The NHL and the NHLPA, two organizations fighting over how much of fan's money they want — some of the very people harmed in this storm — have yet to decide to give even a dollar of it to hurricane relief. Kudos to the Sound Tigers doing what they can and offering free admission to this weekend's games, a healthy distraction from the destruction.
So please do what the NHL won't and help, if you can. Here's a good list of reputable agencies that you can reach out to.
Right now, hockey just doesn't matter much. We'll be back to regular coverage soon, but not today.

Reporter: Craig Smith
Washington, DC (KGUN9-TV) - The U.S. Supreme Court may be on it's way to validating key parts of SB 1070--Arizona's controversial immigration enforcement law.
The justices heard arguments on the issue Wednesday in Washington.
The Supreme Court did not rule on the case immediately. We'll probably have to wait until June to hear what the Justices decide.
But court watchers often try to guess the ruling based on the questions the Justices ask in the hearings; and to them those questions make it seem like conservative, and liberal justices are leaning towards okaying key parts of SB 1070.
After her day in court---in the nation's highest court, Governor Jan Brewer was feeling good about a win. "I feel very confident as I walked out of there that we will get a favorable ruling in late June."
Governor Brewer based her optimism in part on the impression the Justices left with their questions---like this one: "Why was the Federal Government not wanting to enforce the law. I thought that was very striking. Why don't they want to enforce the Federal law?"
The Governor is quoting Chief Justice John Roberts who said something often heard from 1070 backers:
He said, "It seems to me the federal government just doesn't want to know who's here illegally or not."
But immigration attorney John Messing has a warning for those who think they've won a case before they see the formal opinions: "I don't think you can predict confidently, anything from an oral argument. You can get a sense of where the judges are at that moment but that moment comes and goes and new moments appear."
Messing says don't mistake it for opinion when Justices ask what seem like hostile, or friendly questions.
Court watchers seemed to put a lot of weight on it when Justice Sonia Sotomayor, usually classed as a court liberal listened to the Federal case and said to the Federal attorney, "You can see it's not selling very well. Why don't you try to come up with something else?"
Messing says that's Justice Sotomayor's way of making the attorney's pose useful arguments. "I think what she was signaling counsel was whatever he was saying was not helping her in her decision making process. That's all."
KGUN9 reporter Craig Smith asked: "What can we take away from this? Is there anything other than, wait 'til the ruling?"
Messing: I think that my sense of it is, there are divisions that seem to have appeared with Justice Scalia taking a position seemingly that Arizona had free rein to do what it wanted."
But Messing thinks the eight justices on this case (Justice Kagan sat out the arguments because she was a lawyer in the Obama administration when it first sued to overturn SB 1070) may have such differing opinions, they may split on so many issues related to 1070 that they may issue rulings that will leave Federal and state authorities wondering exactly how to implement the law.
It's important to remember because the Supreme Court is considering whether lower courts should have imposed an injunction to stop 1070, the court is really ruling on whether that injunction should stand.
That means the Supreme Court does not have the last word here.
If it lifts the injunction the law could go into effect while the lower courts hash out whether the law is constitutional though the Supreme Court ruling will affect the lower court case.

A total of about 57,000 tons of salt has been placed on roadways in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties by state Department of Transportation crews so far this season.
The numbers are in line with averages for the region, according to DOT spokesman Michael R. Flick. He said the department uses about 150,000 tons each season.
Our year-to-year averages stay pretty consistent, Mr. Flick said. It seems that if we have a late start to winter, it hangs around or gets icy. If it starts early, we get a warm spell, so Mother Nature always seems to find a way to even things out.
He said in an average season, the department uses 32,000 tons of salt in Jefferson County, 23,000 tons in Lewis County and 38,000 tons in St. Lawrence County.
The first day of salting for the region was Oct. 24, in Lewis County.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder : Galileo achieves its first airborne tracking (© ESA) Published on: 16/12/2013
Off we go into the wild blue yonder : Galileo achieves its first airborne tracking (© ESA)
ESA's Galileo satellites have achieved their very first aerial fix of longitude, latitude and altitude, enabling the inflight tracking of a test aircraft. ESA's four Galileo satellites in orbit have supported months of positioning tests on the ground across Europe since the very first fix back in March.
Now the first aerial tracking using Galileo has taken place, marking the first time ever that Europe has been able to determine the position of an aircraft using only its own independent navigation system.
This milestone took place on a Fairchild Metro-II above Gilze-Rijen Air Force Base in the Netherlands at 12:38 GMT on 12 November.
It came as part of an aerial campaign overseen jointly by ESA and the National Aerospace Laboratory of the Netherlands, NLR, with the support of Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, and LVNL, the Dutch Air Navigation Service Provider.
A pair of Galileo test receivers was used aboard the aircraft, the same kind currently employed for Galileo testing in the field and in labs across Europe. They were connected to an aeronautical-certified triple-frequency Galileo-ready antenna mounted on top of the aircraft [..]

It's not every day we wake up and say, "Hey, I really haven't been paying attention to my bladder health, I wonder how it's doing?" It tends to be human nature that generally what is out of sight is out of mind. As we age, we may notice a new wrinkle when looking in the mirror, or realize when stepping on the scale that we have gained a couple of pounds from a slower metabolism. But we tend to forget about the less visible health effects of aging until something doesn't feel quite right.
Aging brings with it a host of positive changes. We are wiser, more experienced, and generally more financially secure in our places in life. But there are some downsides of aging as well. Systems of the body may show a little wear and tear after many years of reliable service. We slowly notice an ache here, a pain there.
Perhaps we're not as limber or fast as we once were. Maybe things that worked well before aren't working just right anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to drive ourselves to the mechanic and get a "tune up"?
One area that individuals seldom consider as they age until something goes awry is bladder health. It can be one part of the body that shows some deterioration over time - although bladder conditions are not exclusive to seniors. Certain symptoms may be indicative of bladder dysfunctions, including increased urgency to use the bathroom, urine leakage, and multiple trips at night to the bathroom. Bladder problems can cause a person to feel older beyond his or her real years, partly because of the assumed lack of control a person has over the situation. But that doesn't have to be the case any longer. With bladder health, fast action can mean faster relief and cost savings.
It is estimated that billions of dollars are spent each year in the United States to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients with urinary incontinence (UI) and other effects of bladder conditions. Medicines are often a first line of defense, but many of the popular overactive bladder and UI drugs can cause side effects from constipation and dry mouth, to more troublesome ones like cognitive trouble and memory loss.
Frequent trips to the doctor or pharmacy and the purchase of hygiene pads can quickly add up to a lot of money, not to mention added stress. Bladder conditions that aren't remedied can lead to a loss of sleep from frequent trips to the bathroom, irritability, embarrassment, and a feeling of hopelessness.
While you're on the road to feeling better ... and younger, try these strategies for improved bladder health:
* Smoking has been linked to bladder cancer. If you're a smoker, one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself is begin a smoking cessation program today.
* Kegel exercises work the muscles of your bladder. When urinating, stop and start the flow of urine - those are the muscles you want to focus upon. During the day do several repetitions of Kegels to strengthen your pelvic floor.
* Use the bathroom regularly; do not hold in urine excessively. A full, distended bladder for long periods of time could cause a stretching of the bladder muscle, thus leading to a more floppy bladder, which cannot contract as well as before being stretched.
* Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. The best way to look and feel good is to nourish the body from the inside out.

Seizures Emergencies
Seizures Emergencies Overview
Seizures are uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain that may lead to symptoms that may range from mild loss of attention to violent muscular contractions that can lead to death. Everyone has the potential to have seizures. Some people have them frequently. Seizure disorders vary tremendously. Some people have only an occasional seizure, and other people have daily or more frequent seizures. Another term frequently used in the place of seizure is convulsion.

Seizures in the Emergency Department »
Seizures are a common cause of visits to the emergency department (ED). One estimate states that approximately 1% of patients coming to the ED do so because of seizures (Krumholz et al, 1989)

By JoJo Tabares
This issue came up the other day and I thought it would make a good post. I have written on this before, but it wasn't the focus of the article and I can't seem to find it amongst the many I've written (that have yet to be posted on the AOE website) anyway. Lol
If you have ever had a situation come up in which you wanted to contact someone to address an issue, find out more information or thank them for all their hard work on something, you may have run into trouble obtaining an email address. It is surprisingly easy in the Information Age and here are a few suggestions:
1. Website Contact Page
If the person is a business owner, Google their business name to find their website. Most websites have a Contact Us page that will either list their email address or supply a form where you can email them directly from the website.
2. Facebook Private Message
If you are both on Facebook, but do not have the person's email address, you can simply send them a private message through Facebook. You usually don't have to be friends with someone on Facebook in order to send them a private message.
3. Facebook Fan Page:
If you need to contact the owner of a Facebook fan page privately, the best way to do that is to look on the Info tab of the fan page to find if an email address is listed there. If not, usually the website is listed and, as I talked about previously, you'll probably find their email address on the Contact Us page. If no website is listed, you might try to see if the fan page lists the Page Owners down on the bottom left. Then, as I talked about in the previous point, you can go to their personal Facebook wall and contact them through a Facebook private message.
4. Twitter Message
If you are both on Twitter, you can send them a Direct Message. I'm pretty sure you need to be followed by that person in order to send them a DM, but you might give it at try. It may be a matter of settings. I'm not as familiar with Twitter as I am with Facebook.
5. Yahoo Groups
If you know each other from a Yahoo Group, you can find the person's email by looking at their group post. Usually, the sender's email address is listed somewhere on the post. Depending upon the group settings, if you don't see it, you may be able to click "reply" and then it will become visible.
6. Google their Name
If you don't have any connection to them through a group or other social media, you can Google their name and see what information pops up. Remember that there may be several people with the same name so you'll want to look for information that will help you identify that person before you attempt to contact them.
There are so many options available to us these days. The information you need may only be a few keyboard strokes away.

Eavn Davis, 18, of Connecticut, tests his arm at the pitching game set up outside Tradition Field Thursday before the New York Mets' spring training home game against the Detroit Tigers in Port St. Lucie. Davis, who was attending the game with his father and grandparents, threw the baseball 76 miles-per-hour.
Skip Evans, a Port St. Lucie winter resident from Denver, sets up a Best 9-meter kite along the shoreline of Fort Pierce Beach as about a dozen kite surfers and a windsurfer took to the water off of the Fort Pierce Inlet to enjoy the windy conditions on Wednesday. "It's like water skiing, or wakeboarding but you don't need a boat, you don't need a driver and you're free to go anywhere you want to go," Evans said. "A lot of people that have windsurfed or wakeboarded are now kiteboarding. It's a lot of fun, an adrenaline rush every day."

DEBORAH SILVER/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS An adult Great Horned owl (top) looks down at its baby owls that are now fledgling in their nest on the property of the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge on Monday. According to Debbie Fritz-Quincy, director of the Hobe Sound Nature Center, the young owls are atleast eight weeks old. "They start roaming in the nest around six-to-seven weeks old and start to fly around at 10 to 12 weeks," sad Fritz-Quincy. The nest, that is said to be about two feet deep, was occupied last year by ospreys. These owls, nicknamed "the tiger with wings," rarely construct their own nests, said Richard Brust, wildlife biologist with the U.S. Dept. of the Interior Fish & Wildlife Service. "Their presence is a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem and we are delighted to have them nesting on the Refuge," said Brust.
DEBORAH SILVER/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS Artist Pamela Hoke of Stuart paints a portrait of One Feather, a Great Horned Owl, in front of about a dozen area high shool students during the acrylic section of the second annual Arts Council Plein Air Art Day at the Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Stuart on Wednesday. Scores of area high school art students were matched with five artists in oil painting, pastels, sketching, watercolor and photography. "Nature is their muse," said Hoke, who asked Tim Brown, Treasure Coast Wildlife Center's director of education to bring a few birds, who are residents at the center, to inspire the young artists. "Nature clears all of the mental clutter. The outdoors lets their right brain get engaged," said Hoke.

(April 5, 2011) NRB applauds yesterday's U.S. Supreme Court decision in Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn. This pivotal 5-4 decision reversed a Ninth Circuit Court ruling and eliminates an "easy pass" given to radical secularists for the last 40 years to challenge church/state relations. In this particular case, that means that parents seeking to apply state tuition tax credits toward tuition for private religious schools won't be bothered with "taxpayer" challenges to those school choice plans. This new ruling will also likely apply to a wide range of other church/state challenges.Posted on April 5, 2011
(March 23, 2011) Yesterday, NRB expressed its sincere hope that Apple Inc. would choose free religious speech over political pressure and retain the Exodus International iTunes app. During the night, Apple apparently chose censorship, yet again.
