Big dreams allowed for creation of West Texas Boys Ranch
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The year was 1947, World War II was over, men and women were returning to their families after seeing the horrors of war, human suffering and lack of concern for their fellow man and, especially, the children. Men and women who had grown up in West Texas had given of their time and life to make sure the freedoms we enjoyed here were always available to their families, friends, relatives and even those they did not know.
Hence, a very large dream or goal was born and these men were so desirous to achieve that dream that they embarked on an undertaking that would not only change their lives but literally thousands of young men's lives for generations to come. The dream was the creation of West Texas Boys Ranch, which needed plans and goals, ideas and knowledge and persistent actions. In fact, the difference between those who do or do not achieve their dream is usually not determined by ability or brains, but by effort, risks taken, opportunities seized and consistent action. We at West Texas Boys Ranch today are so very blessed that those men and women took a dream and made it into a reality.
But, that original dream goes on and the flames of that dream have been fanned by fire and difficult times over the years. The board of directors and the staff of West Texas Boys Ranch are reminded daily as we drive down the one mile entrance to the chapel, cottages, gymnasium, administration building, learning center, pool, barns and corrals that our forbearers not only dreamed big, but their consistent action of thinking big, believing completely, being committed, overcoming fears of failure and even setting goals required daily action. Today we are making every effort to follow in the footsteps of all of the men and women who helped shape West Texas Boys Ranch. We are dreaming big, our actions are consistent with providing the very best child care to boys anywhere in the nation and we are working diligently to earn each and every dollar that people donate.
Just as the founders of West Texas Boys Ranch determined there is a difference between acting now and acting consistently we are following those same principles. Acting today is easy; acting tomorrow is much more difficult. Those initial moments of excitement, motivation, inspiration and even action always seem to dissipate once the organization or person realizes the continual effort and action required in order for their anticipated success to be achieved.
We have always had an interest in, love for and empathy toward children in need. Through various life experiences and encounters with children we have always had a dream to reach more kids. Interestingly enough, as is often the case when a dream is pursued or a risk needs to be taken, the voices of fear, doubt and failure start to scream very loudly in our mind. The failure to act on a dream, is always the result of the inability to believe the dream is possible. We at West Texas Boys Ranch continue to have dreams about helping more children than we are able to help today.
We have answered part of the dream in the simple statement of "We believe in ourselves and we believe in our dream, and we are willing to put forth the work necessary to make the dreams of the board of directors and staff a reality!"
Through charitable giving and unique giving the men and women of West Texas can help us to make those dreams a reality. Of course everyone thinks about a cash contribution, but an automobile contribution can and would be greatly appreciated, a livestock contribution would be greatly appreciated. Someone remembering that West Texas Boys Ranch has dreams that are as yet unfulfilled and wants to remember us in their will is deeply appreciated. The foundations of San Angelo and the surrounding areas that have already helped us fulfill many dreams are also greatly appreciated.
The reality is that each of us can improve our lives and those around us as we continue to help make dreams come true. Thankfully regardless of our situation, location, age or circumstance in life, we can help dreams come true at West Texas Boys Ranch and continue to help boys and children all across Texas and beyond.

Remember Me
Jim James' will host an album release party on May 19 with Dave Givan. They will both be spinning classic soul and funk jams in Louisville at Main St. Lounge.
MONT DE SUNDUA -- Mont de Sundua (Street: 05.22.07)
WOW, what a juicy find -- MONT DE SUNDUA features Jim James of My Morning Jacket with Ben Blandford and Dave Givan of insects.
This Louisville, KY band, formerly known as "Month of Sundays," was founded in 1992. This album was recorded above the Cadillac Studio- Shelbyville, KY in 1998, mixed at the Funeral Home by Kevin Ratterman and Mont de Sundua in 2006. Why did it take almost ten years to release these songs after they were recorded? We don't know, but we're damn glad they got around to releasing it!
Go here for audio samples of Mont de Sunda.

Business Casual
Day one, I went with a ruffled collared dress shirt (not properly shown in photo), a shawl collared sweater (new, stolen from my sister), and a blue on black pinstripe pair of trousers. I really hope that they look better in real life than in the photo. Since I knew I'd be walking, I went with conservative black, casual wedges.
Day two, I started pattern mixing, which was a bit strange for me. I don't do a lot of pattern mixing at the best of times. However, I went with a collared green and white shirt with a glenplaid trouser that reads as a solid. I topped it with a black cardigan, and bottomed it with a very quintessential oxford with the twist - a heel.
I even ended off the week with trousers, collared shirts and sweaters! I had seen Cori of La Petite Vie wear a similar outfit and immediately filed it in my inspiration. It was the perfect opportunity to navigate the even more vague "Friday" of the "Business casual world". I felt so confident in this outfit, calling it the "Business casual three piece suit".
6 comments:
Great looks! I love the last one the most, the layers are awesome and I really love the jacket!ReplyDelete
Love these looks, I think you mastered Business Casual. I especially love the third outfit, so cool!ReplyDelete
I really love that last look! You look so cute!!ReplyDelete
I like them all but #3 the most! I hate that "business casual" non-descriptive description. We were business casual at my last workplace but I eschewed the polos and khakis favored by most everybody else for pencil skirts and pumps. The place I did my assessment test at today - there were people wearing jeans. Ugh!ReplyDelete
All really excellent looks, I'm especially in love with the last one. It's got a very English professor-y vibe in the way that makes my tweed-loving heart go pittypat.ReplyDelete
I love all of these - the last two looks are really awesome. How did these go over at the new job?ReplyDelete


text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Carlisle says Mavericks will sign Fisher by Ben Golliver Twitter Email Posted: Thu Nov. 29, 2012 Derek Fisher is expected to sign with the Mavericks. (Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)By Ben GolliverVeteran guard Derek Fisher is apparently headed to Dallas.Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle told reporters following a Wednesday night loss to the Bulls that Fisher, 38, would be signing with the team on Thursday. ESPNDallas.com reported Thursday that forward Troy Murphy would be released to clear a roster spot for Fisher.Fisher's path from being a 5-time champion with the Lakers to an unrestricted free agent who wasn't signed during the 2012 offseason was an interesting one. The Lakers traded him to the Rockets in advance of the 2012 trade deadline. The Rockets then bought Fisher out of the remainder of his contract, which ran through the 2012-13 season. Fisher later signed with the Thunder and played key postseason minutes for the Western Conference champions, until they were defeated by the Heat in the Finals. Oklahoma City got Eric Maynor back from a knee injury this summer, though, making Fisher redundant.In Dallas, Fisher will join a backcourt that includes starters Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo. Collison missed Wednesday night's game due to a finger injury. Reserve guards Dominique Jones, Jared Cunningham, Dahntay Jones, Vince Carter and Rodrigue Beaubois are also on the roster. The Mavericks released guard Delonte West in October after he was suspended on two occasions.Fisher averaged 5.6 points and 2.7 assists per game in 63 appearances for the Lakers and Thunder last season. Honestly, he doesn't have much left in the tank. He's a low-risk, low-reward player whose best days are years behind him. His most valuable skill at this point is his ability to draw charges, which says a lot. Even his career 37.3 percent three-point shooting stroke deserted him last year, as it fell to 32.1 percent. You won't find a better locker room guy. Just don't ask for anything more.Through Wednesday, the Mavericks are 7-9 and have played the entire regular season without All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Fisher also serves as the president of the National Basketball Players Association. Promoted Stories Comments

Which mountain cliffs do Apis laboriosa honey bees select as nesting sites and why?
Jerzy Woyke, Jerzy Wilde and Maria Wilde
Apis laboriosa and Apis dorsata are closely related migratory open-air nesting bees which nest at mountain cliffs. It is not known why they select certain cliffs over others. We examined 16 nesting cliffs, at which 258 A. laboriosa colonies nested. The studies were conducted in Nepal in 1998 and 1999 and in Bhutan in 2008. Most cliffs are of a grey to black colour, but all A. laboriosa bees selected as nesting sites light -coloured unweathered cliffs. The light cliffs appear as a result of water erosion, and the unweathered cleared surface assures strong fixation of the combs to the rock. This way the nest will not tear away from the cliff overhangs. Near some nests, a white area is present on the vertical wall of the cliff. This is the surface cleared by bees, which previously nested here. It is possible to spot actual or potential nesting cliffs of these bees from far away.

The thing won't stay shut down. OS is up to date. Info: iPhone 4
How do I get music from iCloud to iPad and iPhone 4s Info: iPhone 4S, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I plugged in my iphone and ipad two days ago. I got a message saying to set up as a new iphone or restore from backup. I never restored my iPhone. I have gotten this message before, and it completely messed up my iphone. I actually just upgraded to the Mac Pro from a Mac Book Pro after going to the genius bar 6 times, 6 days in a row and they did nothing. iTunes has been working ok for the past two months. Anyway, so I clicked restore from back up, and then quickly unplugged the iPhone to trick iTunes that I restored it. It worked, the iPhone is working fine; but when I try to sync it, it just says it is syncing when no content is actually being synced. And last night, the exact same thing happened with my iPad! So both my iPhone and iPad are working OK, but they wont actually sync even though iTunes says it is. I do not use limewire, so I don't think any of my content is corrupted. Information: Mac Pro (early 2009) Mac OS X (10.6.3)
I have recently purchased an iMac i3 with a 27" monitor. I am having issues with the recognition of any portable device. I have read a thousand forums and gone through the solutions but nothing has worked. I originally installed iTunes and it recognised my devices. I shut down the iMac and came back later and when starting it up it does not recognise any device. I changed cables, USB ports. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes around 15 times. iTunes will recognise any device untill I restart the computer. I have gone through and removed apple mobile device files, I have restarted the computer and it still doesn't reconise my devices after the iMac is restarted. I can't tell you how frustrating this is. If anybody out there has had teh same issue could you please let me know how you fixed it? Information: iMac i3 Mac OS X (10.6.4)
why doesn't all my photos from my iphone photostream load to my mac Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I'm having a bit of trouble with iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Whenever I attempt to restore my iPhone or iPad, the restore bar gets very close to the end (when displayed in iTunes), and to about 2/3 of the way through (on my iDevice), then the process freezes. I thought this was limited to my iPhone 4. But, after having attempted to restore my iPad, I've encountered the same problem again. The only way I can get my iDevices out of recovery mode and back to work is by restoring them on another computer, then syncing on my MacBook. As you can imagine, this is extremely annoying. Is there a way for me to fix iTunes on my Mac, or do I need to visit a Genius Bar? Information: MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.4)
When I make an ICal entry on my iphone, it shws on my IPad ok, but not on my Mac. Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Im using a wireless d-link router that a friend set-up so we could piggy back off the internet a mutual friend has in his room,for one reason or another, when I attempt to add my iPhone wi-fi mac address to the mac filter list, it says it is an invalid mac address (mines begins in "04") does anyone know how I can get around this or if there is a fix action I can take?
i have two drop down boxes where i would like to link first with second. i am new to website development. how to do it. i tried to pass first drop down box value in to parameter but i am unable to do it. i dont know where i am doing the mistake.
I am using the latest version of jQuery and ASP.NET MVC 3 with the Razor view engine. I have tried Google looking for a decent example of loading a child drop down list when a parent drop down item is selected. I am looking to do this via jQuery AJAX using JSON. My knowledge of this is zero. I have a Category class with a list of categories. It's a parent-child association. If I select a category from the parent drop down list, then all the child categories need to be listed in the child drop down list for the selected parent category. This is what I currently have, but need to complete it, not sure if I am in the right direction: $(document).ready(function () { $('#ddlParentCategories').change(function () { alert('changed'); }); }); [Code].... It goes into my AjaxBindingChildCategories action and it brings back records, it just doesn't want to display my child category dropdownlist. I had a look in Fire Bug and the error that I get is: GET AjaxBindingChildCategories?parentCategoryId=1 500 Internal Server Error

I'm using a code snippet to have a cursor placed in a form field once a page loads, see the below posted code.The form field in question is located below the fold.The problem is that when the page loads it will scroll the page downwards to show the form field, I don't want that happen. I only want the cursor to appear...not the whole page to scroll downwards when the page loads.what I can do to prevent the page from scrolling downward when using this code?It's happening with similar codes as well that places a cursor inside the form field.I only want the page to scroll downward when the user decides to scroll downward, not because of the cursor placement.

Hi, there.I have a button on an ASP.NET Webpage and have added code to its click event. However, when I run the application and click on the button, the click event code is never run. I placed a breakpoint on within the the button's click event so that I can tell if that code is run. However, I noticed that when I fire the app up in debug mode, a question mark appears over the breakpoint with the following message:"The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.".What does that mean? Why won't the event fire? In my other Webpages, there has never been a problem like this.
"<?xml version='1.0'?><AccessRequest Xml:lang='en-US'><AccessLicenseNumber>gfdg</AccessLicenseNumber><UserId>dgf</UserId><Password>dgfd</Password></AccessRequest><?xml version='1.0'?><TrackRequest xml:lang='en-US'><Request><TransactionReference><XpciVersion>version=""1.0001""</XpciVersion></TransactionReference><RequestAction>Track</RequestAction><RequestOption>None</RequestOption></Request><ShipperNumber>00000</ShipperNumber><ReferenceNumber><Value>1234</Value></ReferenceNumber><DestinationCountryCode>US</DestinationCountryCode></TrackRequest>"
The Gmail address book on the Web contains a field for birthdays, so why not the Android address book? While I'm sure the app could undergo a lot of changes (and everyone would have different ideas) something as basic as a birthday seems obvious.
I have heard others reference a page in a user manual, I assume this is not something they got with the phone but something downloaded. Does someone have a link?
both concerns with programming,hosting and domain as well. Have we had any solution for a website with multi hosting? I mean how to prevent it from being down by transfering it to another host. I know that it is about A record. If my site down, i should immediately change A record point to another IP of a backup server. However, it still takes time.
This was generated from my asp.net page. (ListBox was rendered as select element) I was able to isolate the focus problem from the ListBox to the following HTML. Just copy-paste the HTML bellow and open it in a browser window. The browser renders the Focus in a strange way. I have to solve it for one of our clients. If the Height is set to 185px the focus doesn't work properly. I tried to play around with different heights. Btw, if the Height is set to 81px there's no problem with the Focus. But I have to have the height at least 170px. [code]...
I have been lurker for long time already but now decided to ask this question I have been wondering about past few months. I rent an dedicated server from KeyWeb, with dedicated 100mbps link. The server itself isn't that good & fast, but it's just perfect for my gaming server (E4500, 2GB DDR-2 ram and 2 x 320GB sata 2 drives) Now to the problem. Always when I download some big files with this server from ftp or html server, and if I only open one connection, speed is very poor... Like 1MB/s or so, but if I use some download manager or torrent client which opens more than just one connection, +10 or so... Then the speed is very good, sometimes it goes up to 15MB/s. The server is actually connected to 1gbps switch but I think the port is limited to 100mbps. At speedtest (dot) net, I get results like 17mbps down and 8mbps down. So... Is that normal or is there something wrong? I've not contacted them yet, but if this isn't normal. I will Ofcourse I'll try to solve this on my own. and before someone asks if this ftp I'm downloading from is not fast enough... I can tell you, it's. I downloaded one big file from it at school and at max speed was about 9MB/s
The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.
I have small issue with load speed of pages when number of apache running processes goes over +-310, during peak traffic of day. IE: They load really slow. Here's pic of what I mean: => [url] Only thing that fixes it temporarily (at least until peak traffic ends) is to stop either httpd or mysql for several seconds, as everything cools down, then start it back up. Stop/starting mysql usually has longer terms temporary fix. Anyway, would you have any ideas on what to configure or change within the system in order to keep the processes under 300? The load is normal. Even at load 40, pages are blistering fast, as long as processes are under 300. So it's got nothing to do with load.

I'm building a web site to log sales data for a business with a few locations. I have a drop down list, in the header, on the master page, that allows the user to select the location that they will be working with and entering data for. Once a user selects a location, I would like the drop down list, in the master page, to retain the location that was selected when the user goes from page to page. How should I go abouts handling this?
I have insert drop down in Grive view Edit template [Code].... Data set acts as source for gridview, how do i select the item in the dropdown that is coming from dataset e.g if it was a textbox i would fill it this way [Code].... How do i do this in drop down.
I have a CheckBox field inside a Formview. <asp:FormView ID="_fvApplicant" runat="server" DefaultMode="Edit" OnItemDeleting="ApplicantItemDeleting" Width="100%" DataSourceID="_dsApplicant" ondatabound="ApplicantFormBound"> <asp:CheckBox ID="_chkSuitable" OnCheckedChanged="test" AutoPostBack="true" CausesValidation="true" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("Suitable") %>' />	 In my Code Behind in test method I am trying to set the checked to true, but in the ApplicantFormBound event when i debug it is never true...any reasons why? Basically I want to set the Validator to true when checked. protected void test(object sender, EventArgs e) { CheckBox vld = (CheckBox)_fvApplicant.FindControl("_chkSuitable"); vld.Checked = true; _fvApplicant.DataBind(); } protected void ApplicantFormBound(object sender, EventArgs e) { var chk = (CheckBox)_fvApplicant.FindControl("_chkSuitable"); if (chk != null) {........
I am trying to set the item that is selected from a drop down list based on what it in the database for that particular record. I am filling the dropdown list with a SQL DataSource I have tried a couple of example that I have found for selecting the item in the list but I am always getting the first item in the list as the selected item. This is what I am currently working with: Code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If IsPostBack Then Else Dim ID = New Guid(Request.QueryString("ID")) [code].....
I fill a the drop down list with a SQL select query, but i want to add a first default item, something like "- Select an option -" or "All" What im trying to do is make a dynamic SQL query, something like this: SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE (value1 = ? AND value2 = ? AND value3 = ? )........ (or "like" instead of "=") You are gonna have to select those arguments from 3 drop down lists, but i wanna have a default value on the top of the drop down list options and send a "*" as value if this option its selected, so the filter doesn't consider that value
I wonder, for those who host with HostGator, did you notice any significant change in loading time of your websites, especially at/after September 1, 2008? I've Googled about this and find similar experience from others. I notice my sites are very, very slow loading after 3:00 GMT+0. However, I did try to use proxy site to test things, and all my sites are suddenly back to normal loading time! What gives?

I created a set of cascading drop downs based on the code provided at http://helios.ca/2009/05/30/aspnet-mvc-cascading-dropdownlist-with-jquery/ and it is working fine.

Google – Soft on Privacy?
The talk began this past Saturday when Privacy International released a report that ranked Google at the bottom of a list of companies when it comes to privacy. The report claimed Google was "achieving status as an endemic threat to privacy." Google naturally enough responded with their disappointment with the report, though apparently not to the liking of Privacy International. PI wrote an open letter to Google and accused the search engine of running a smear campaign against them.
On Sunday Danny Sullivan posted on both the perceived smear campaign and the Privacy International report itself. Danny took a detailed look at how Google handles many of the things the report criticized them about and gave his own grade. In the end his conclusion was that Google does well enough on privacy in comparison to the others the PI report investigated.

- Watchdog group slams Google on privacy
- An Open Letter to Google
- Google Ranked the Lowest in Privacy Protection Study
- Google Bad On Privacy? Maybe It's Privacy International's Report That Sucks
On Monday the blogosphere was abuzz with talk about the report and Google's response. Matt Cutts as you'd expect defended Google, though there were some who felt too much of his defense was pointing the finger at other companies like AOL for releasing millions of search queries last summer.
It seemed as though everyone was commenting on the report and both Danny's and Matt's posts. Jordan McCollum and Andy Beal each posted to Marketing Pilgrim within a few minutes of each other without realizing the other was posting, which I found humorous. Fortunately for us both wrote good posts.

On Monday night Google explained why they have interest in collecting data and agreed to anonymize the data after 18 months instead of the 18 – 24 month range they had originally planned. Additionally the said they would explore ways to redesign cookies to reduce expiration times.

In a stroke of bad timing, a flaw was discovered in Google video on Tuesday, further raising privacy concerns. Users who posted Google videos to other social network sites were at risk of having their usernames and passwords exposed since the information was send in plaintext over http instead of encrypted over https. And of course more images were found through Google Maps Street View that some would probably prefer not be seen.

All in all it was a bad week for Google in regards to issues of privacy.
My Take
George Orwell was right, albeit 15 or 20 years early in his prediction. Big Brother is watching and will continue to watch. Even more Big Brother will consistently find new ways to watch and watch closer than it can at this moment. Technology has always been a two-edged sword. The same data that's used to make our lives easier through digital transactions is also collected and stored where it may one day be used in the worst case to steal our identities.
I think most of us would say we want our privacy to be protected. At the same time most of us are willing to give out some of our data if we get enough in return. You've probably given plenty of websites information like your email address and credit card number. You've probably given some your physical address and even your phone number.
How many toolbars do you have installed now? What part of the day are you logged into something like Gmail? We give up information about ourselves all the time when it makes our lives more convenient.
In an ideal world no data about us would be collected and stored. That isn't going to happen. Data collection has been going on a lot longer than Google and it will continue long after Google. Technology makes it easier to collect, store, and unfortunately share personal data. As much as I wish it weren't so it simply isn't going away.
Why Google though? Why all the backlash against Google? Are they really worse than everyone else. I don't have my own report on the state of privacy in the search industry nor do I have plans to write one, but over the last year I've written more posts on things Google has done to protect our privacy than any other search engine. One of the first posts I ever wrote was about Google's refusal to hand over search data to the U.S. government. None of the other search engines has ever caught my attention as doing the first thing to protect privacy. Only Google.
Google of course has the means to collect more data about us than any of the other search engines given their market share and properties like DoubleClick. Still I have to question why Google is always held as the poster child for being soft on privacy. My general feeling is I'd sooner trust them with my data than I would trust Microsoft. Does that mean Google does enough to protect privacy? No. I don't think anyone is doing enough, but they do seem to be doing more than others.
Regardless of what their privacy record is, Google does have a PR problem on its hand when it comes to privacy. I think Andy Beal said it best
You can do all of the analysis you want of the study, pick as many holes in it as you can, bring out your supporters to counter the study's findings, but it ultimately doesn't matter. People are starting to get a little freaked out by Google's pervasiveness and are really starting to get concerned about what it knows. Google needs to fight the perception that it is becoming "big brother", not the reality, before the perception becomes the reality.
It's that pervasiveness of Google's that's the problem. Google's dominance puts them in front of us and us in front of them more often than any other company. Their record is irrelevant. It's the perception of that record that is the issue and the perception is that Google isn't doing enough.
Sadly I think the issue of privacy is going to get worse before it gets better. And while Google may be unfairly taking more than it's share of the heat it's good that the issues are being raised and being discussed. It's only through open dialog that we'll be able to find a workable solution.
What's your take? Are you worried about all the information out there that could be connected back to you? Are you afraid someone with ill intent could possible gain access to your data? Is Google doing enough to protect your privacy? Is anyone doing enough? Do you have any ideas on what might be the best solution to the problem?

This post is part of the Indiana Summer Fun 2012 series. Be sure to check out all the ways to enjoy Indiana in true frugal fashion this summer!
My Dad lives in Fort Wayne, so, after spending many summers there, I consider it my second home. While Indianapolis has that big city feel, Fort Wayne somehow manages to have the big-city fun while keeping the small town feel.
I believe I've mentioned our favorite attraction – the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, consistently rated one of the Top 10 Zoo's for Kids in the nation and definitely a reason to visit Fort Wayne, but there's so much more to do in Fort Wayne.
Another favorite stop of ours is close do downtown Fort Wayne – Headwaters Park. This park hosts many great festivals, concerts, and events, but tucked in the center is a fountain that doubles as a splash pad for kids. We've been to many splash pads, but this is my kids favorite, because the fountain shoots streams of water high into the air in the shape of a triangle, making sure to soak everyone nearby.
Another hidden Gem in Fort Wayne is Don Hall's Old Gashouse, my dad's favorite restaurant. When my dad first pulled up here for lunch I thought he was out of his mind. He parked in front of a small trailer and headed straight to it. However, around the corner was a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the river and a gazebo for those who wanted more shade. But despite the fact that the food was cooked in a trailer, it was amazing, plus the view and atmosphere is even better. Make sure to enjoy one of their specialties – seafood, steak, or Cajun foods!
Located up in Northern Indiana, my family truly believes Fort Wayne is the perfect place for a quick getaway – for just one day or overnight.
Why We Love Visit Fort Wayne
Why it's great for families: There's so much to do for kids and adults of all ages – Science Central, Botanical Gardens, Fort Wayne Museum of Art. There's even a Figherfighter's Museum that's sure to intrigue young boys (it does mine!)
What we love most: Definitely the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo and Headways Park.
Our Tips for a Successful Visit
Tips for Young Children & Infants: There's so much to do, but remember to take breaks between activities so little ones can take naps. Many attractions are packed full of great things to see, but small enough you can get through them in less than 3 hours, so you could easily plan a morning and afternoon activity with time for naps and lunch in the middle.
Tips for Older Children: Explore Science Central! There's so much hands-on activities that older kids will not only enjoy, but learn from as well.
Ways to Save
- Take advantage of the Fort Wayne Deals hotel and getaway packages.
- Look for coupons for Fort Wayne attractions.
- Check out the list of FREE parks and trails for inexpensive outdoor fun.
- Enjoy the many Festivals throughout the summer where admission is often FREE!

A world-first breakthrough to treat high blood pressure has been successfully trialled in Melbourne.
The clinical trial showed significant improvement in blood pressure of participants who were given a new catheter-based treatment where blood pressure lowering medication had failed.
Director of Monash University's Centre of Cardiovascular Research and Education in Therapeutics, Professor Henry Krum led the research collaboration between Monash, the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, and St Vincent's Hospital to develop the new surgical technique that disrupts nerves around the kidneys to dramatically reduce high blood pressure.
The technique could benefit those at high risk of heart attack or stroke from high blood pressure that resists conventional drug treatments.
Professor Krum presented these data in a late breaking clinical trial session at The American College of Cardiology's 58th Annual Scientific Session earlier this week and was lead author on a simultaneous publication in The Lancet.
The results are set to revolutionise high blood pressure treatment in patients around the world.
Professor Henry Krum said the treatment would benefit those five to twenty per cent of patients with high blood pressure who do not respond to medication.
"Patients who underwent the procedure had a significant reduction in their blood pressure levels and we were able therefore to reduce their risk of severe stroke or heart attack," Professor Krum said.
A total of 50 patients were recruited from Australia and overseas for the trial conducted by a team of researchers, which included Professor Henry Krum, from Monash University, Professor Markus Schlaich and Professor Murray Esler from Baker IDI and Professor Rob Whitbourn from St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne.
Professor Krum said the trial results were the most significant in the treatment of high blood pressure since the introduction

Arizona bill would allow banning service to gays
PHOENIX — The Arizona Legislature gave final approval on Thursday to legislation that would allow business owners asserting their religious beliefs to refuse service to gays and others.
The proposal drew backlash from Democrats, who called it "state-sanctioned discrimination" and an embarrassment.
The House 33-27 vote sends the legislation to Republican Gov. Jan Brewer and puts Arizona back at the forefront of a polarizing piece of legislation — four years after it enacted an immigration crackdown, causing a national furor.
Similar religion-protection legislation has been introduced in Ohio, Mississippi, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee and Oklahoma, but Arizona's plan is the only one that has cleared a legislature.
Republicans stressed that the bill is about protecting religious freedom and not discrimination. They frequently cited the case of a New Mexico photographer, who was sued after refusing to take wedding pictures of a gay couple.
Legislators said Arizona needs a law to protect residents from heavy-handed actions by courts and law enforcement.
The legislation prompted a heated debate on the floor of the House, touching on issues such as the religious freedom, constitutional protections and civil rights.
Opponents raised scenarios in which gay people in Arizona could be denied service at a restaurant or refused medical treatment if a business owner believes homosexuality isn't in accordance with his or her religion. One lawmaker held up a sign that read "NO GAYS ALLOWED" in arguing what could happen if the law took effect.
The bill is backed by the Center for Arizona Policy, a social conservative group that opposes abortion and gay marriage. The group says the proposal is necessary to protect against increasingly activist federal courts and simply clarifies existing state law.
"We see a growing hostility toward religion," said Josh Kredit, legal counsel for the group.
Arizona's voters approved a ban on same-sex marriage as a state constitutional amendment in 2008
It's one of 29 states with such prohibitions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Very cool way to keep track of what comics you buy.
I actually was looking for a way to keep track and found this app so I checked out their web site too.
It's a very tedious process to subscribe (no fault of them, there is a lot of comics in existence), so you'll want to do it from the web (but it's not perfect there either).
The web site is a bit easier:
I don't see how to subscribe from the app just to mark to pull a single issue (also if you want 3 copies I don't see how to do that).
I wish on the app (and the web) I could check off that I got that issue, so I can see what I'm missing (especially if they are out of that issue, I need to go find it later and remember it).
With these few issues, I think I'll be printing my list from the web site and taking it with me (and using a pen to cross things off).
A plus is that I subscribed to Teen Titans and automatically had the "annual" added to my list. But some other title I subscribed to didn't add the "special". Also, II subscribed to Batman and a Batman trade paperback showed up on my list. That's probably on the site in the back end. That said I'd rather have extras on my list (that I can ignore) than extras not make the list that I might miss.
It's got the potential for a 5 star app, but it needs a few more basic features.
Solid app
I don't have any problems. Plus this is the only app I can find for a print pull list. I would suggest 1) building a database of past issues/books so that people can make note of issues to grab for series they're just getting into. 2) more importantly, carry my pull list over! Like, make it a check list and if I don't check something off, then it should show up the next time I go to create a list. Also, if I have a comic on my pull list and the next issue comes out, it should automatically be added.
Has potential but is mostly a mess
I like the idea of a pulllist app and the interface is okay. But the information is updated sporadically and it offers features that are irrelevant and doesn't offer some that seem crucial to pulllists. Why have a news tab that hasn't been updated in over a year but not have a way to view your subscriptions? Why have a podcast tab at all... Has nothing to do with your pull list. But if you must have it, shouldn't it have some content in it? I guess comiXology is solely focused on digital comics. Which is a shame. Some if us still love picking up their books each week at te comic shop and the comiXology pulllist app used to be a big part of that for me.

[COMPUTER LOVE] When I arrive at the home of one of the Portland electronic music scene's most important figures of the past decade, Eric Mast—better known by his pseudonym, E*Rock—he's deep into rehearsals for the release show for his latest electronic epic, The Clock & the Mountain. So deep, in fact, that he doesn't hear me when I knock on the door.
Finally, his housemate lets me in. "I was zoning out, messing around with some beats," the lanky Mast says, sporting a dazed expression from behind his long, curly black hair. "I haven't played live in a while, so I'm trying to figure out how to play my new stuff."
Mast hasn't had a new album to support since his 2003 full-length, Conscious. Not that he has been slacking. Over the past eight years, he has released a handful of limited-edition CD-Rs and DVD-Rs and flexed his muscles as a remixer for the likes of Ratatat (the New York City band that features Mast's younger brother, Evan), Joey Casio and Dragging an Ox Through Water.
But mostly, Mast has been focused on his visual art. He's an accomplished artist who specializes in semi-abstract, almost cartoonlike paintings and drawings à la Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mast is also renowned for his animation and video pieces (he recently spent a week in New York providing live video accompaniment for a performance featuring Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and former Black Dice member Hisham Bharoocha).
Add his frequent DJ gigs and it's little wonder Mast hasn't had much time to make another grand sonic statement. But to hear him say it, there was a bit of self-doubt in the mix as well.
"When my brother and I first started getting into composing using computers," he says between bites of an apple in his bedroom/studio, "we got so excited at the possibilities that we just made stuff. Now, I wasn't sure what I wanted to make. And I didn't know who I was making it for. It's not dance music. It's not headphone music. Would my friends even listen to this?"
That's where Mast is wrong. The songs on The Clock sounds like they would work as well in a club as they do in a pair of headphones. It's a spongy record that bounces with tropical bass and electro beats; long, groaning melodies inspired by '70s German synth pioneers, and a touch of hip-hop swagger. And as light as the new record gets on songs like the squeaky, theremin-heavy "Higher Hats" and the appropriately titled "LazerQuest," with its blasts of video-gamelike sound effects, the record has an astringent aftertaste of darkness, something Mast cops to immediately.
"It was recorded in the winter, when I was holed up reading Philip K. Dick and William Gibson, so there's a real dark sci-fi theme going on there," Mast says. He emphasizes this on the record by including in the insert a small bit of text written by one of Mast's friends, sci-fi writer Mark von Schlegell (it begins: "Imagine a dark sphere that is all the time and space in the universe").
But the album's
biggest leitmotif resides in its title. "It's in reference to spending
so much time on the record, and the mountain was that I needed to have
this big, weighty project done," he says. "In the end, I just had to sit
down and have a good time and play around with beats and melodies and
not worry about the big picture."
SEE IT: E*Rock releases The Clock & the Mountain on Friday, May 27, at Rotture. 9 pm. $5. 21+.

NVIDIA Quietly Releases GeForce GT 440 GPU for Desktops
"NVIDIA quietly added a new GeForce card to its lineup in the form of the GeForce GT 440 card for desktops."
Published: 1st February 2011 | Source: TC Magazine |
NVIDIA has been really aggressive with its graphics card launches off late. However, the chip maker put aside its aggression today to quietly add a new GeForce card to its lineup. The new card is the GeForce GT 440, which is aimed at the desktop market.
Looking at the pictures, it is not hard to guess what the specifications of the card are like. The card is most likely based on the GF108 GPU from the Fermi family. It should come with 96 CUDA Cores just like its predecessor, the GT 430. From the pictures, the PCB is clearly seen to be a full-height one, which an active and large cooling fan positioned, right on top.
In terms of clock speeds and stuff, the GeForce GT 440 comes with its GPU clock set at 810 MHz while the shader clock is running at 1620 MHz. The memory interface is 128-bit and capable of accommodating either a 512MB GDDR5 module running at 3200 MHz or a 1GB GDDR3 running at 1800 MHz.
The card is powered through the PCI-Express x16 slot, which delivers the 75W necessary to run the card. So there is no need for an external power supply for the card. Display outputs include D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI.
The card has already reached most NVIDIA partners, who are gearing up to come up with their own reference and customized models shortly.
