When spring arrives every year it brings a new season of shoes with it. From strappy sandals to cute mary janes, I cannot get enough. Especially when it comes to spring shoes for Princess P. While I may have a hard time choosing which shoes to buy her, I always go back to the same company, See Kai Run.
See Kai Run offers a stylish line of comfortable shoes for babies and toddlers. Each shoe is made of extremely flexible rubber which is great for outdoor use while still allowing the foot to flex in all the right places. Twice a year, See Kai Run releases a new collection of 15-20 designs that are sophisticated and classic with a hint of flair.
For review, See Kai Run sent Princess P the pretty and pink Ashley Maija sandals. When I opened the box and handed the shoes to P she shrieked with excitement as she attempted to put them on her feet. She managed to get them on and fasten the velcro all by herself. After she finished, she stood up and the biggest look of accomplishment spread across her face. I did not have the heart to tell her she had them on the wrong feet.
The Ashley Maija sandals from See Kai Run are composed of the perfect shades of pink for spring and are sure to match almost every outfit in Princess P's wardrobe. The shoes are made of butter-soft leather that not only feels great but looks great too. The flexible rubber soles will hold-up on the playground while still promoting healthy feet development. The Ashely Maija shoes feature padded collars for extra comfort and a breathable leather insole and lining for those warm spring days. The only thing that I have noticed with the shoes from See Kai Run is that they tend to run a bit large. Which if you ask me, is not necessarily a bad thing. It allows for plenty of wiggle room and added space to grow.
(Smaller and See Kai Run styles only.)

History of Nankin Mills
Life in Early Nankin
Native Americans
Original Mill
Nankin was a growing township by the time the mill was operational and local farmers who were growing grain had need of the mill's services. A thriving community later called Pike's Peak grew up around the Nankin Mills. Among its businesses were a blacksmith shop, printing shop, and a post office. Today, several of the homes from that town remain.
The Underground Railroad
Present Mill
Henry Ford and the Village Industries
Nankin Mills is said to have been a favorite place for Henry Ford to visit during his boyhood. Ford would join his father, a farmer, for the journey to the mill by wagon along Ann Arbor Trail, which fronts the mill. In 1918, the now-famous automaker decided to purchase Nankin Mills from Floyd Bassett, the last miller and convert it into a small factory Ford made major changes to the mill, but worked hard to maintain the integrity of the old building. When the floors were installed to support the heavy machinery, Ford required that tongue-and-groove hardwood floors be installed and that wooden pegs be used to fasten the planks to the supporting beans, a method that was used around the time of the Civil War. Those floors can still be seen today. Ford also bought and had Edward J. Cutler, the architect who supervised Ford's restoration projects, restore the miller's (tenant) house just west of the mill (see photo at right) as a gift to the architect and his family. Cutler worked on most of the buildings at Greenfield Village in Dearborn.
Ford's conversion of old mills like Nankin into factories was part of his Village Industry (or Community Plant) project. Ford saw small towns like Pike's Peak declining as people abandoned the land for jobs in Detroit and Highland Park with its flourishing auto plants. By establishing a number of small auto factories in rural areas Ford felt that these small communities would once again thrive. Farmers would be able to farm during the summer and once cold weather set in, be able to work at the mills. (Photo at left shows Nankin Mills in 1940s. Photo courtesy of Joyce Covert & Judith Dubois.)
Why Ford Chose Grist Mills
In 1920, Nankin Mills began producing screws for the Ford Motor Company. In 1937, the mill was retooled for the production of stencils for marking Ford parts. It was also retooled for engraving work at that time Those stencils were used on all Ford Parts produced up to 1948. The lettering on these stencils ranged from an almost microscopic size to several feet tall for signs.
The Village Industry Era
Ends Another Begins
Nankin Mills was remodeled by Wayne County and dedicated in 1958 as a nature center. The Nankin Mills Nature Center under naturalist Mary Ellsworth was a popular visiting place for children and adults alike, featuring exhibits on history and live wild animals and livestock. It closed in 1980.
In the mid-1980's Nankin Mills became the headquarters of the Wayne County Park System. In 1994 - 95, an addition was built to the mill and the Parks Department moved into the new portion. In 2001, the mill reopened as an interpretive center telling the story of four eras:
The mill has since been chosen as a gateway hub to the MotorCities-Auto National Heritage Area. It is one of six such gateways in Metro Detroit. MotorCities-AHNA is affiliated with the National Park Service.

OLD GLORY, FRESH FLOWERS – A Cotuit container garden shows patriotic spirit.
(and the Second & the Third)
The town's villages are stretching out their Fourth of July parades to take advantage of next month's long holiday weekend.
Osterville will start things off Friday, July 2, with its blink-and-you'll-miss-it promenade past the Wianno Club on Sea View Avenue at 11 a.m.
Centerville marches down Main Street at 10 a.m. on July 3, and Hyannis Port steps off at the post office at 11 a.m. following the annual road race at 9 a.m.
On the Fourth, the Barnstable-West Barnstable parade rolls down Route 6A at 9:15 a.m. Cotuit celebrates at 11:30 a.m. on a route from the post office to the Cotuit Elementary building.
There's something new in the afternoon, a one-mile walk/run sponsored by Hyannis Public Library and Hyannis Road Runners to support the library at 3 o'clock. The route starts on the village green, goes down Main Street to Sea Street, and back to the green.
At 4 p.m., the floats and bands take over Main Street, Hyannis for the big parade. Larry Chase, the town's recently-retired veterans agent, is grand marshal.
After the Hyannis parade, the Barnstable Town Band will play on the village green from 5:30 to 7 p.m. From 7 p.m. to dusk, the Cape Cod Conservatory Jazz Ensemble will perform at Aselton Park.
Fireworks will decorate the skies above Aselton Park and Hyannis harbor after dusk on the Fourth. There's no rain date this year.
Donations are welcome for the Hyannis parade ("TOB Fourth of July Parade") and the fireworks ("TOB Fireworks Fund") and may be mailed to Town of Barnstable, 367 Main St., Hyannis MA 02601

The Old and the New Come Together at Fenway's 100th Anniversary Game
Here are a few more shots from Friday's game. The fly over, pre-game ceremonies with Red Sox greats taking the field, Girl Scouts stopping by to show the Fenway the Dog 100th Anniversary Dog Treats to Mayor Menino*, and last one….I am not sure, and I don't believe in ghosts- but it looks like this is "Nuf Ced" McGreevy at the game. Today's Red Sox fans just don't bring megaphones,wear bowler hats…and certainly are able to detach themselves from their unlit cigars for the game – I think they are a choking hazard too.
My favorite was seeing all of the old players return to Fenway Park. If I were able to have tears, I would have cried- it was touching. Actually, tonight's game is rained out…maybe Someone Up There is having a really big cry for our team. People tell me that they always feel better after a good cry, not sure how that feels, but sounds like a good idea. Maybe after the Big Cry things will be better, hope there is not thunder, and I am bummed there won't be a rainbow because it will be dark. As you know, dogs have less colors in their rainbows: they are still cool.
One more great thing that happened at that game- Kevin Millar and Pedro Martinez lead the crowd as toastmasters to set the Guinesss Book of World Records record for the largest toast (I might have a photo of that coming for you- it was hard to hold the cup and take a photo and I was afraid they might count me as a non-participant).
There are a great deal of magical memories at Fenway Park- people witness and experience them there. Some are painful, but most are rich and happy. Fans bring these memories home with them, re-live them in their minds, and keep coming back for more. Call me sentimental, but I like that memories are gifts which can be shared and can't be taken away from you. I hope you all remember how it feels to have a winning season rise from the tears of loss.
thanks for reading and believing,
Fenway the Dog
* The Girl Scouts even sold some to Mrs. Menino and Dan Shaughnessy some Dog Treats.
Nuf Ced*
This was my colleague and me at the Fenway Open House Thursday- I chose it because this is how I feel after this game today and it looks like he is concerned and comforting me. Right now, I am trying to remember the bright side of this week, which includes recalling that 54,000 fans came to walk around the Park that day. I was also touched to have so many of those visitors stop by to share their stories about the Girl Scouts, service dogs, beloved family pets, and their devotion to the Red Sox through good times and bad. That is some of what we, as service dogs are trained to do- be there to smooth out the rough spots. Those things help me to refocus on what is important, and that I am a proclaimed optimist. At today's painful loss to the Yankees, I think we needed an army of Canine Companion dogs to console our fans.
I am planning on keeping the faith. That is what Red Sox fans do…please stay with me.
thanks for following,
Fenway the Dog
*these were the words of "Nuf Ced" McGreevy " Above is his photo and some background from Wikipedia which I found very interesting- maybe you will too, and hope it distracts you from any pessimistic thoughts which might be swirling around in your head about the season.
Michael T. "Nuf Ced" McGreevey was the leader of the most vocal fans of the "Boston Americans"(now the Boston Red Sox), today known as the "Royal Rooters". McGreevey owned the Third Base Saloon, which got its name because, like third base, it was the last stop before home. His saloon was Boston's original sports bar – it was decorated in a baseball theme, with pictures of the players, and a scoreboard on the outside wall. His nickname "Nuf Ced" was given to him because that was what he usually shouted to end barroom disputes, usually about the Boston Americans and the Boston Braves.
McGreevey amassed a rich collection of photographs, clippings, and other baseball memorabilia. When Prohibition forced McGreevey to close Third Base, he donated his collection to the Boston Public Library. Author Glenn Stout (A Red Sox Century) helped popularize the collection when he worked at the library.
The theme song of the "Royal Rooters" was "Tessie"from the Broadway musical "The Silver Slipper". McGreevey was immortalized in a 2004 remake of the song by the Irish American punk band Dropkick Murphys. It subsequently was part of the soundtrack of the movie Fever Pitch concerning fans of the 2004 season of the Red Sox.
In 2008, Dropkick Murphys bassist Ken Casey re-opened Third Base, although it is no longer known as such. Now the tavern is known as McGreevey's and can be converted to open-air. There is also a sign on the front of the bar that says "1200 Steps to Fenway Park." It is on Boylston Street and is right across the street from the Hynes Convention Center located in the Back Bay of Boston.
(Fenway Park just opened a room named after him at Fenway Park called the Royal Rooters' Club")
Looking Forward, Looking Back
This is going to be a great season and celebration of Fenway Park's 100th anniversary. I want to start with this shot from the Green Monster on Opening Day (a great win, and proof that sometimes good things happen on Friday the 13th). There are interesting and exciting things happening and lots to talk about- Girl Scout Dog Treats at Fenway, 55,000 visitors who came to Fenway Park yesterday for a free Open House and autographs with past and present players, MSNBC Morning Joe broadcasting from the field this morning, today's game which will be packed with surprises (great TiVO material), and that is just the beginning. Maybe people would shift their talk to these things rather than other old stuff like Seamus the dog. I would like to have some dreams about old Fenway, and new world series rather than nightmares of riding on the roof of a car like a dead moose.
Thanks for reading and thanks for writing back,
Fenway the Dog
Great Start to Opening Day
Ready for Fenway Baseball
Hello everyone:
Fenway Park, it looks better than ever. The grass is green, the paint is touched up, and there are great displays and artifacts of Red Sox history all over the place. My friends, the advance men* went over to Fenway Park today to set up the table for the Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary dog treat sale. Please come and say hi to me in person if you are at the game tomorrow. I will be inside Gate A with some of my Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts & Canine Companions friends for the first 3 innings. We will be at the official Girl Scout Dog Treat table …and this will be my first and last sales job. Hope to see you. In case you can't come to a game, the treats will also be available in the Twins Team Store on Yawkey Way starting tomorrow and until we run out. I understand from my friend Dave, that many people go over to the store when a game gets a little tense to distract themselves with retail purchases. Sounds like a great idea.
For sure i won't sleep much tonight- I can't stand the suspense- my FIRST Red Sox game, 100th Anniversary celebration, Friday the 13th (don't know how I feel about that number but I don't feel like being superstitious – it is so un-doglike- we just walk on by that stuff).
thanks for following, thanks for not thinking that a few early losses define the season,
Fenway the Dog
*pictured here…Nagal sporting winning smile, Vernell looking regal. I know you really can't tell from the photo where the table is, but it is just a hint.
Here is one more shot from 'inside' Fenway Park. Good thing this sign did not stop me from entering the Red Sox Clubhouse for a look*. We service dogs are trained to not be unnerved by such things as sirens, crowds or traffic…we certainly would not be deterred by a sign on a door (clearly not addressing us). Anyway, inside, we discovered the players' new hydrotherapy pool which might be a place to do some after-hours relaxing with friends. I wonder if our fur will be a problem in the filter (perhaps we will have to enjoy it without the jets).
I love water, and find it very therapeutic.
Fenway the Dog
*this is my friend Vernell in the photo-it was actually his idea to disregard the Restricted Area sign.
Paint Me Happy
Hello everyone:
I thought you all might like these photos of finishing touches on Fenway Park.
…great win tonight…I really wasn't worried at all, and can't wait for our home opener this Friday!
Fenway the Dog
P.s. Hope you all also saw the newest billboard for the Girl Scout dog treats on Ipswitch and Boylston. Being a little on the short side, I thought the trees need a bit of trimming on the left side. I always seem to get stopped at that light, so I get an opportunity to enjoy it longer (better to see by sticking my head out of the sunroof because I am not driving). Hope you all get stopped there too. You will have to see it for yourselves- it is safer than pulling over on the Pike to see the other billboard location.

VIDEO> Looking back to FD Vegas
It has always interested me to watch the background area of a competition, and all that is involved to bring it to life.
Formula D has so many people working, moving, going… There is a full TV show being produced, professional race event taking place, thousands of fans… And yet, it seems like most things move at a different pace in Las Vegas. The cars are still in a rush, but everyone else, everyone behind the scenes…
Once I started editing to this song (Sundriped), I felt the pace change from some of the other videos I have done more recently, so I countered with a different choice of footage out of my stash.
In the last video, I featured Justin Shreeve, Joe Ayala and Yoshi Shindo. In this video, I threw in a quick clip of Abbitt Wilkerson, another Northwest videographer. His older brother, Walker Wilkerson, acquired an FD license at the final Formula D event in Irwindale. Keep an eye out for what Abbitt, Shreeve, myself and the rest of YAER Productions will do for Walker's upcoming 2011 driver package.
Ian Dillon, of Factory 83, also collaborated with YAER Productions, providing graphics for this and other upcoming edits.

Steve Irwin's legacy lives on through his adorable kids.
Bindi Irwin, who was only 8 years old when her father was killed by a stingray barb, celebrated her 15th birthday today in Sydney -- and did it in her famous zookeeper uniform.
Bindi, brother Bob and Steve's widow, Terri Irwin, were all photographed at the Australia Zoo for the young star's big day, marking the occasion with an all-day celebration.
The "Crocodile Hunter's" daughter blew out her candles in front of a huge audience and was even seen feeding some crocs later in the day.
Guests were even treated to a piece of birthday cake as they left.
Since her father's death, the family has continued working with the Zoo, hosted TV shows and appeared in movies like "Return to Nim's Island" and "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove."
Bindi recently opened up about her father while promoting "Nim's," saying "It's really special that I have all these memories with my dad captured on tape so I can rewind and re-watch all of these special things and he'll always live on with us forever."

Coming to You Live: Radio Rows Provide Priceless Benefits to Conferences
Political conferences have evolved over the years and create unique opportunities for like-minded leaders to gather. While the experiences at such conferences may be unique, the event infrastructure is considered standard industry-wide. Logistics decisions such as speakers, schedules, attendees, and so on are the backbone of a successful conference. More recently, however, a new conference element has found a home at political gatherings across the country. "Radio rows," which are a collection of broadcasters that air live content from the same location, have become more prevalent at large and small conferences.
Radio rows are a critical part of annual events like the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Conference planners have come to realize the benefits of adding a radio row to their gathering, which include securing free advertising to promote the event, building relationships with key talk radio leaders, and gaining added incentives for co-sponsors and attendees seeking media attention.
For decades, talk radio has been a haven for conservative ideas. Ideas of limited government, individual freedom, and family values have benefited from the long format only talk radio has to offer. Thoughtful discussion of ideas that cannot be summed up in a five-minute television interview play out every day on three- and four-hour radio shows. Listener calls and participation advance the grassroots nature of radio programs and the conservative movement. National issues with local impact and local problems with global implications find a voice on radio airwaves. Candidates for president and local offices use talk radio to engage with voters. Talk radio has played a key role in promoting and unifying conservative ideas, which increases the importance of including it at conservative conferences.
Thanks to emerging technologies lowering the expense of remote broadcasts and increased competition among national and local radio shows, hosts are more willing to leave their studios for these special opportunities. Recently, radio stations have been impacted by the economic downturn. Less advertising as well as competition from new media has caused many stations to cancel their local shows in place of nationally syndicated content. As a result, competition among hosts in each market has increased. Therefore, while the number of shows available to attend a radio row has decreased, thriving stations are more motivated than ever to take part in events that set them apart from the crowd.
Once a radio program has agreed to attend a gathering, it is up to the organizers to assist in providing compelling content. Policy experts, authors, elected officials, and grassroots leaders should be encouraged to take part in the tremendous opportunity available.
"What a host is looking for in a radio row is the ability to bring the newsmakers live to their listeners," said Martha Zoller, a radio host syndicated statewide in Georgia and veteran of many radio rows. "Access is key and radio rows, if done correctly, give you that access."
A conference can guarantee hosts hours of quality guests, breaking news, and information.
Of course, radio rows are not just rewarding to the event organizers and broadcasters, but also to the co-sponsors, speakers, and invited guests. At CPAC, for example, most attendees took advantage of the benefits radio row access provided. The face-to-face interaction between hosts and organization leaders is an incentive for groups to participate in any conference. While the conference receives free advertising by hosting a radio row, the attendees get the opportunity to discuss their issues on local and nationally syndicated shows, with the prospect of reaching millions of listeners across the country.
"CPAC co-sponsors and panelists look forward to being a part of radio row," said Lisa De Pasquale, CPAC Director at the American Conservative Union. "Local groups and candidates gain national exposure, and experts can rely on doing dozens of interviews in a single day."
Conference organizers may worry that media coverage will be one-sided or scarce. Including a radio row in a conference ensures that the message will be complete and somewhat controllable.
Technology has made radio rows a more viable solution to the media coverage concern for even the smallest of events. Most hotels, conference spaces, and convention centers are already wired with the necessary digital lines, Internet connections, and additional phone lines needed for a high-quality broadcast. Additional equipment, if needed, can be rented at a nominal cost.
"CPAC makes it easy by having good equipment, an engineer on site, and available guests," said Zoller.
In hosting a radio row, organizers must make major decisions about broadcast lengths and workspace sizes.
Allowing shows to broadcast multiple days at a conference can make equipment rental more economical and provide more extensive coverage. At CPAC 2010, nearly three dozen shows and networks broadcasted from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., sharing 11 workstations. Local programs from
An event that brings together large groups of attendees can instantly inform and motivate a large number of supporters. If the event is successful in developing long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with members of the media, indispensible returns on the radio row investment will continue over time.
As more people become involved in supporting conservative initiatives, political gatherings grow, and activism becomes more commonplace. Tea parties, town halls, and conventions are sprouting up organically every day. Talk radio has played an influential role in furthering conservative ideas for decades. A conference with a strong broadcast component energizes attendees and enables organizers to relay news as it happens at the event.

Fangio and Maserati on Modena Auto-Aerodrome
Falling into thinking of classic and collectible cars as commodities is a trap fraught with danger. Are automobiles built to be traded like so much gold bullion or, as the definition of the word itself implies, a way to mobilize away from the mundane binds of otherwise limited existence? We're going to argue the latter, and try not to forget that cars are ideally machines built to be driven. Please observe Juan Manuel Fangio drive a Maserati 250 around Modena circa 1950-something in the event of absent mind, and tell anyone that speaks of cars that drive themselves to discover trains, buses, boats, or perhaps rigid airships.
It's okay to drool: 1953 Maserati A6C54
We really should do a Hemmings Find of the Day feature here on the blog. There's so many wicked awesome vehicles for sale in the Hemmings online classifieds, such as this 1953 Maserati A6C54, currently being offered by Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California, for $1.95 million.
One of 52 such cars built, this one was sold new in the United States, is believed to have been raced by Fangio (then again, Fangio is believed to have raced every red mid-century Italian car…), and at one point in the late 1950s had a Chevrolet engine – presumably a small-block – under the hood as it raced in New Jersey. It was then used as a street car in the late 1960s, restored in 1989 and spent some time in Japan in the 1990s before coming back to the United States for a second restoration.
It's a good thing I didn't write the classified for this car. I would have left it at, "This car is pure sex."

Alisa B.wrote a review of Arc'teryx Fission SV Jacket - Women's on March 24, 2012
Excellent quality
This is an extremely high quality jacket - very warm, very well-made. It runs a bit larger than the other Arcteryx jackets but by design for layering in snow conditions. Worth the money!

What is water pollution? Water pollution is the contamination of any body of water.There are seven types of water pollution.Surface water pollution,groundwater,oxygen depletion,nutrients,micro-biological,suspended matter,and chemical.Water pollution is caused when trash or other pollutants are discharged into a body of water. What are some of the sources of water pollution? There are nine sources of water pollution.Sewage and waste water,marine dumping,industrial waste,radioactive waste,oil pollution,underground storage leaks,atmospheric deposition,global warming,and eutrophication.Marine dumping can result in a big problem.The plastic part that holds a six pack of soda together,is also known as a death trap necklace. What are the effects of water pollution? The effects of water pollution depend on what chemicals are dumped and in what areas.Water pollution in urban areas are often caused by garbage dumped by individuals.Many little kids make this mistake daily.All those pieces of trash build up and your river's water quality will be down in the dumps.The trash could kill the plants, making the oxygen rating low, low oxygen could kill the fish, and no fish could effect all sorts of things whether it's a social or recreational matter. What can be done to improve water quality? Make sure your gutter downspouts are pointed towards your yard,never towards driveways or other hard surfaces.If it is pointed towards the driveway,the water could make the driveway erode, causing the little pieces of concrete to be carried into nearby lakes.Something as little as this could be what one little sea creatures life is depending on. What are some actions that can be taken to help prevent water from becoming polluted? It is as easy as reduce,reuse,and recycle.You can reuse empty water bottles instead of throwing them in the trash.Recycling is an easy way to keep the Earth and ocean clean. As you can see,water pollution is a very big problem.It has impact on a lot more than just water quality.Since water is the most important resource we have,it is so important that we keep it clean and drinkable.Please help keep our water clean.

Optimizing Firefox Speed
There are several ways to make Firefox run faster. It's all done by tweaking. I'll be giving you a list of different tweaks, which will all count for something. Please note that I've done all of this on Windows XP Professional OS, and it may have different effects on other OSs.
This is the most popular way to make Firefox's pages load faster, and no doubt you'll come across this when you Google how to make Firefox faster.
- In the Firefox browser, type about:config.
- You'll get something asking you to be careful. Click the thing which is I'll be careful, I promise!
- You'll find a filter bar. Type network.http.pipelining under the preference name column.
- You'll normally find the default value of this to be false. Double click it and change it to True.
Effect: For most (at least the ones I've all seen) websites, you'll notice a http:// before the address. This is for something called the HTTP 1.1 , a protocol, this is so that you can send numerous requests before your computer actually receives them. It's also known as pipelining. Pipelining can reduce page loading times over connections, but not all servers support it, which is why it will have no effect for some websites. For this to work, you need pipelining to be enabled.
2. In the filter bar, type network.http.proxy.pipelining and its value to True.
Effect: Pipelining does not work when you are using a proxy. This is why you need to change this value to True, so that it is enabled if you are using a proxy.
3. Now type in network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Right click and go to Modify. The default value is 4, change it to 8.
Effect: This determines the maximum requests your computer can send out at once. 8 is the maximum, so don't change it to 100000 thinking you can send that much requests out.
4. Go to the normal about:config page, right click in the blank space and choose New/Boolean. Name this network.http.pipelining.firstrequest and accept. Then set its value to true.
Effect: This tweak isn't normally recommended, but it hasn't screwed my FF up in any way. It's meant to aid in making your page load faster.
5. Now this time, right click and choose New/Integer . Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay then accept. Then set its value to 0.
Effect: The initialpaint.delay is the length of time (in milliseconds) after the server response before the browser begins to paint, or create, the page.
6. Make another Boolean and call it content.notify.ontimer and set its value to true.
Effect: Normally, a page would load when each part of it has fully been downloaded. Instead with this, it will make FF display whatever has been downloaded and thus, reducing page load time.
7. Again, create a Boolean value and call it content.interrupt.parsing and set the value to False.
Effect: This determines whether an application will "interrupt" a page being parsed so that it can react to the UI. Setting to false is so that the parsing cannot be interrupted, and the app will be unresponsive until all parsing has been completed.
There is another tweak for Windows XP and Vista users (except Windows XP Home Edition). This can be used for Internet Explorer and Firefox, or any other web browsing program. You'll find this commonly over the internet.
- Go to Start
- Go to Run
- Type in gpedit.msc
- Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
- Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
- Expand the Network branch.
- Open up the QoS Packet Scheduler.
- Double click the limit reservable bandwidth setting.
- Check the enabled item.
10. Change the limit to 0.
11. Close and restart your computer.
This has your computer connect to your Internet faster as it has no limits to how fast you can connect to it.
Any questions, suggestions or comments, please leave one!

[How To] Provide E-Mail Subscriptions For Your Blog Or Site
Description: This post aims to describe a way to provide Email subscriptions (daily) for your sites/blog's readers using Google FeedBurner. The site used is my Blogging buddy's blog, SoccerMatch. He asked me for advice on this topic, so I decided to write this tutorial in parallel to setting up subscription service for his site.
Firstly, new bloggers or site-owners might need to know what is a "feed". There are several kinds of popular feeds on the Internet today, namely RSS (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication" but sometimes "Rich Site Summary") and Atom. These provide postings and updatings information for a "feed reader" that which can interpret can show that data as site content to the subscriber. These feeds need specific "readers", either desktop-based, e.g. the Windows Vista "Feed" sidebar widget, or online-based, like My Yahoo! or Google Reader. FeedBurner can convert those feeds into emails so that the subscribers need not use a feed reader. To set up a email feed, follow the steps mentioned below.
First, set up an account at FeedBurner, or you can log in with your Google Account since FeedBurner is a subservice that Google acquired in 2006. After you login, type in your blog/site home page (including the slash "/" at the end) in the box provided (see screenshot on the right).
Click Next and the "initial options page" is shown. You can type in your feed title (i.e. the title shown in every email update sent), and the feed address, which is added to the end of "http://feeds.feedburner.com/."
In our example, I typed in "soccermatch", so the full feed address will become http://feeds.feedburner.com/soccermatch. After you've finished, click next again.
You can click next again to additional services. This will be covered later, so let's click "skip directly to feed management".
Here you can do anything you want with your feed, but, as to make it simple, we'll just set up a sidebar widget on the blog for feeds. Different blogging platforms will make different methods to install a link, but we need to get the code first. To do this, click "Publicize" on top of the page.
Then, click "Email Subscription" on the side of the page (see screenshot for link location). Click "Activate" on the next page.
Now you have your code in the next page! There are two options. You can choose to insert a form or a link to subscription page. Inserting a form causes some problems with some themes, so you'd better choose link (the latter option on the page). Now copy that code, and paste into a new HTML/Text widget in WordPress. If you don't know how to do this, see this page.
For other sites, you just have to copy the code on any site template, it'll automatically show up.
After you add your code and widget, a link to subscribe to your site/blog will appear in your sidebar. Click the link and a form will appear to allow readers to subscribe to your blog/site. There are also a lot of additional features that FeedBurner provides. You can investigate yourself, or check back later to see a new article about the features of FeedBurner. To see what the resulting email looks like, subscribe to your own blog!
False Twitter Invitations Leading to Spyware?
I'm sure some of the people who read this post follow "Welcome to the Underground" Blog and maybe other blogs by Twitter. However, did you know that some hackers send false Twitter invitations to lure people into installing spyware or downloading viruses?
Ever since Twitter became the major channel for information spread by Iran presidential election protestors, its popularity has rocketed upwards. Even the news of the Phoenix discovering ice on Mars was first announced on Twitter. However, all good things have a bad side. Cyber criminals are now sending false Twitter invitations to prompt installation of Trojans and virus worms!
From the format and content, the false invitations looks like that it's a real one sent by the Twitter official site. However, if you look at it closely, you'll find that the false invitation does not have the "inviting" link in contrary to the real invitations. In its place is a link that downloads a file called "invitation.zip" in the background that you cannot control, and lures the people who are considering joining Twitter into downloading the virus contained in the "invitation.zip".
The virus in that zip file has been identified as a worm" W32.Ackantta.B@mm" by ESET nod32 antivirus (it's definitelyNOT an email address!). This worm earlier appeared in February's invitation card attack, which collects email addresses from the infected computers, and copies itself to those multiple addresses (this is how it's supposed to work, but it's usually blocked 90% by stronger av programs such as ESET or AVG).
I remind readers to upgrade their antivirus and communication software to prevent getting infected.

Soccer Manager.com — Free soccer/football management online game!
[Note: This review was written by Adrian, the Freeware Elite. You can visit his tech blog at: Freeware Elite.com]
Description: Soccer Manager is a free website on which you can manage a soccer team through your web browser. What make it different from other similar sites is that there is a very realistic transfer market for you to participate in. Actually, it is quite fun to put players on Loan Lists, Transfer lists, or just buy and sell players if agreed. There are also "Free Agents" which are players not owned by any clubs for purchase. There is also a "Score Centre" in which you watch your own matches progress. You need to be signed up to play.
Youtube — Only has name?
The American Times magazine elected the ten worse new tech ideas in the past ten years recently. For those on the list, some of them are quite familiar to most people, such as Vista, Zune, Palm, HD-DVD, Gateway,etc. However, even Youtube is on the list. Why?!
Actually, although Youtube is the largest video sharing site on the planet (now, there are 99 million people in the US that have visited Youtube before, and the total number of videos on the site is 5.9 billion), but Youtube has not yet found it's regular income source! Google earlier claimed that Youtube, until now, still hasn't a "real" profit.
Because the Youtube videos generally have bad quality, not much people are willing to advertise on Youtube. Albait the fact that, according to a company in Switzerland, Youtube has a profit of US$240 million, but their total profit was US$-470 million! They will have to triple the profit in order to make the balance! ARGHHH!

Overclocking NVidia Cards
Seeing as it is Exploitation Week, I guess I'd better do something. Considering that all my posts have been about tech, I guess I'm going to write for it and about something 'techy' for Expo Week. I'm going to write about overclocking your hardware. Today, I'm only going to talk about NVIDIA cards though, seeing as I don't have much time.
I guess I'll talk about and try teach the beginners how to overclock your graphics processor card (GPU).
Before I get fully into it, I must warn you that not all GPUs are good for overclocking. Some just simply aren't powerful enough. If you want my advice on overclocking, you'd try get something in the NVIDIA GeForce 8000 series, 9000 series or any GTX. If you're an ATI user, you can always just match up something close to NVIDIA's with Google.
However, most cards under the 8000 series can overclock. But chances are you'll screw the card up. The other problem is that you're going to need a good cooling system.
Hamachi Networks – Left 4 Dead
Revisions: Initial Release. I expect in the future to have these networks reduced again. When L4D 2 comes out, expect the hamachi networks to get popular again.
Foreword: On June 16th, many of the hamachi networks for L4D will be taken offline for good, due to lack of activity. If you want to still play online in Hamachi through our underground network, you can still do that. Go near the bottom of the article for the network names and passwords. ~ Versatile
For the past few months, I have come to a revelation. Hamachi is a great tool when used correctly. When Left 4 Dead first came out, people were dying to figure out how to play this game online with other people. I started off in January 2009, and I had no idea about this Garena.com. From January through April, I played contently with Hamachi. Suddenly, someone asked me to make a tutorial about Garena, and although I was a bit reluctant in the beginning, I did it anyway. The rest is history.
Fast forward to present time. A lot of people have moved onto Garena to get their quick L4D fix (or whatever game). Unfortunately, that makes the remaining underground hamachi networks for L4D very empty. I understand that there are some people who cannot make Garena work (for whatever reason) and are requesting that I keep the hamachi networks online for their sake.
This is what we will do then. Discontinue the Voltaire networks (they weren't popular anyway), and I will keep open these networks:
- L4D Underground
- L4D Underground 2
- L4D Underground 3
- L4D Troubleshooting
- The password for all these networks = l4d
My L4D Is Updated and L4D Central hardly gets any activity, and I will be discontinuing it. If you are against this plan, then voice your concern in the comments. Thanks for your cooperation.
If you can, I suggest you move to Garena as there are people playing literally day and night, in all timezones. Hamachi has a lack of people, and organizing a game is not very fun when there is hardly anyone on.

Conficker Virus – Set to Attack on April 1st, 2009
Have you heard of the Conficker virus? It is set to wreak havoc on computers on April 1st, 2009. What will it do? No idea, but I know it has infected PCs like the plague. Will it steal your data? Erase your hard drive? Turn your machine into a spam bot? We'll see.
To make sure you don't have the Conficker virus already, you can download various free scanners to scrub your hard drive for the virus signature. Using Google will help you find the programs. If you can't visit eset.com or any of the other anti-virus websites, hunches are you are infected.
Per lifehacker, you can protect yourself by:
How Do I Stay Safe?
Staying safe from this, and many other viruses and worms, requires a combination of keeping your computer updated and using anti-virus software. Here's a couple of quick tips to follow:
- Make sure your system is fully patched using Windows Update, and update MS08-067 has been applied.
- Make sure your anti-virus is fully updated, enabled, and you've run a full scan.
- Make sure you are using strong passwords (see our guide to choosing great passwords).
- Disable the AutoPlay feature—which Conficker uses to infect systems.
- Make sure your firewall is enabled when you are on untrusted networks.
- Make sure your data is backed up—if you aren't sure what to use, see our five best Windows backup tools.

Computer Chat – Hamachi Network
I never thought I would have to do this, but I decided to after having an interesting chat today in one of my other hamachi networks. What happened today was I was talking to a fellow L4D gamer in one of my hamachi networks, and I soon found out that this particular individual knowledge about PC stuff in general was very lacking.
This person did not know he could partition his massive 700GB hard drive into smaller partitions, nor did he know he could dual boot his machine. Knowing how to torrent was just something totally new, and he had no idea what msconfig was.
After spending almost 2 hours talking about random stuff, I figured out that it would be beneficial to host my own separate hamachi network to give underground help to fellow people. Or if you are an expert like myself, join the network so we can learn from each other. ;p
The hamachi network is:
Network: Underground Chat
Pass: chat
Got a PC question? Want to share your ideas? By all means, join the network. Perhaps we can combine our digital lifestyles into one massive learning experience. See you there!
How to Jailbreak the iPod Touch 2G [2.2.1]
Hey guys.
So if you own an iPod Touch 2G (i'll be lazy and might write touch), never fear, the jailbreak is finally here!
Ok, that's not strictly true. The jailbreak has been around for awhile, but it was the tethered version, which required you to connect your touch to the computer every time you wanted to reboot.
A few days ago, someone was finally able to crack the final layer and make it such that you don't need to tether the touch anymore. A few hours later, a program called QuickFreedom was built as a GUI to allow jailbreak.
All you will need is:
-iPod Touch 2.2.1 firmware, which you can download online, through iTunes, or through QuickFreedom itself.
-LIBUSB (which you can install through QuickFreedom)
-an iPod Touch 2G (obviously.)
QuickFreedom works in a 5 step process, it's actually not too hard to do.
Step 1:
You can download and install all the software you need from QuickFreedom, just make sure to refresh or restart the program when you do that so you can go onward, otherwise you will be stuck here.
Step 2:
Select your options and create a custom firmware. You can save it wherever you want, and you can add a custom bootscreen as well. When I did this, I didn't use a custom bootscreen, but it should work fine.
Step 3:
This is the pre jailbreak. This was the hardest step for me, I don't really know why. The whole trick is to get the touch into DFU mode. You can follow the DFU instructions, but it seemed almost impossible to use that, so I just ended up doing the DFU in various ways until I got it. I left iTunes open for the entire process, so you can use it as a check to see if you are doing it properly. It is my guess that QuickFreedom does not detect the DFU perfectly everytime since it told me that I was in DFU but would not let me proceed. Keep at it, you'll eventually get there.
Here what I finally did at the end. It doesn't matter if the iPod is on or off.
To do the DFU, hold the Power and Home buttons down for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, release the Power button and continue holding the Home button for 8 to 10 more seconds. At some point, iTunes should find an iPod in recovery mode unless you disconnected the iPod. I orginally tried doing this by turning off first, but in the end, I'm not too sure if that really mattered because my touch was in some limbo state between going on and off.
After you DFU, start the pre-jailbreak. WAIT. This is a mistake I almost made and got really lucky on. The log is there to help you, so read it! Do not go onward until you read that the patch was installed correctly. I almost started the next step before the patch was completely installed, this might screw things up, so just be careful.
Step 4:
Using iTunes, install the new software firmware that you built. Hold SHIFT and click Restore in iTunes, and find the custom firmware you built. Let the software install. It might take some time.
Step 5:
You are done! The touch should be jailbroken with Cydia and Installer. Have fun!
Some interesting notes:
I was not able to install more than 9 full pages of apps. I think that's the limit. At 16 apps per page, thats 144 + 4 (from the dock) to total at 148. I haven't tested this out, but you can probably use categories from Cydia to put all the apps in folders and get around this. Apps will still be there, but they are hidden away and will only appear if there is some more space (aka deleting old apps).
Thanks to the guys who made QuickFreedom and for http://proudofmylife.net, whose pictures I just copied because I was too lazy to screenshot my own in XP with Jing. If there is a problem, contact us.
Anyway, if you have questions, feel free to ask away! This worked perfectly for me and I'm happy with the results.

Sports Turkeys Of The Year
Frank McCourt Sells Dodgers, Fans Rejoice
Fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers have developed a true disdain in their heart for owner Frank McCourt. By willingly mishandling the team's finances, he bleeded the team dry for years. Today, he finally agreed to sell the team, their stadium, and the surrounding real estate. The agreement ends a six month long legal battle with MLB commissioner Bud Selig. The biggest winner today is Dodger nation, who finally got their wish.
Dodgers TV Deal Rejected By MLB
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt had a proposed TV deal worth $3 billion with Fox. McCourt would have received $385 million upfront, which would help him make payroll at the end of his month, and in the short-term future. Major League Baseball rejected the deal today, and issued a statement explaining why.

• Berggren's Senior CLASS profile
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin senior Jared Berggren has been selected as a candidate for the 2012-13 men's basketball Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for this prestigious honor, a student-athlete must excel both on and off the court, having notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
Berggren is one of five Big Ten players on the list of 30 candidates, joining Brandon Paul (Illinois), Jordan Hulls (Indiana), Drew Crawford (Northwestern) and Tim Frazier (Penn State).
Berggren was named All-Big Ten honorable mention last season as a junior after finishing third on the Badgers in both points (10.5) and rebounds (4.9) and second in steals (32). The Princeton, Minn. native also led the Big Ten in blocks with 60, finishing with the third-highest single-season block total in UW history.
Off the court, Berggren boasts an overall GPA of 3.33 and will graduate in May of 2013 with personal finance major and a certificate from the prestigious School of Business.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Former Big Ten Player of the Year and All-American Alando Tucker was named the 2006-07 Senior CLASS Award winner.

Mintigo uses a corporation's definition of the target customer to build algorithms and conduct a search that will provide the best new customers for that corporation. Their selling point is that they can make outbound marketing more effective, but targeting potential customers that will have a higher conversion rate.
Salesforce.com's Sales Cloud has Marketing & Leads features, including Automated Lead Scoring. Salesforce obviously is building a massive database, and putting Mintigo's deep search on top of that would provide SF customers with a very powerful tool for finding, qualifying and managing leads. Of course, there will be some confidentiality issues to contend with, and it may be that Mintigo would be confined to the public space, as it is now.
Mintigo recently (9/2011) completed series B of $9m. Don't know what their revenues are, but it's clear that they could only grow massively inside Salesforce. The other side of that is that Mintigo has fairly limited exit alternatives. I suspect they'll have a hard time scaling as an independent company. Salesforce should pick this one up for cheap now.
The Mintigo executive team appear to be seasoned professionals with quite a track record, and they're based in Israel; Salesforce could do a lot worse than to try to retain that talent, and perhaps join many other successful tech titans who've opened R&D centers in Israel.

8 Prosecutors You Don't Want to Face in Court
Prosecutors are known for being quick, determined and always on their toes. Some prosecutors are well known for their snappy, vicious courtroom attitudes and almost perfect trial records. Whether they are still practicing or retired, the following prosecutors will make you glad you never faced them in court:
- Vincent Bugliosi
Probably best known as the prosecuting attorney for Los Angeles County in the Charles Manson case, Vincent Bugliosi successfully prosecuted Manson and several other of his followers for the 1969 murders of Sharon Tate and 6 other people. Also, known for authoring a book in which he criticizes the district attorneys and prosecutors in the OJ Simpson case, in his years as a prosecuting attorney, Bugliosi tried 106 felony cases and only lost one.
- William Kunkle
William Kunkle is most famously known for his win of a death sentence for John Wayne Gacy, a businessman and clown entertainer at children's parties and benefits, who killed 33 men and boys. Kunkle is known for his approval and support of the death penalty, and is known to suggest it widely when he believes it the the proper punishment.
- Marcia Clark
Marcia Clark is probably most famously known for being the prosecuting attorney against OJ Simpson in the murder trial of his ex-wife and her friend. Although Clark didn't win a guilty verdict against Simpson, she has a very successful legal reputation and has successfully prevailed in at least 19, some well-known, homicide prosecutions.
- Joseph Richard "Rick" Distaso
Most famously known for being the lead prosecutor in the murder trial against Scott Peterson, accused of the murder of his wife, Laci Peterson and their unborn son, Distaso was successful in gaining a guilty verdict, despite the hard-hitting high profile of defense attorney Mark Geragos. Distaso is also known for a few other big cases in which he also won based on circumstantial evidence.
- Jeffrey Hayworth Knox
Jeffrey Hayworth Knox is a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn. Knox, overseeing and with the help of the attorney's office in Brooklyn, is responsible for the successful prosecution of 1/3 of the international terrorism convictions around the nation in the last two years.
- John Healey
John Healey, a Fort Bend County, Texas prosecutor is well known for leading a small town of prosecutors and maintaining a successful record. Healey's team is responsible for a number of succesful prosecutions including child abuse cases, capital murders of children, aggravated assaults, and several high profile murders, rapes and robberies.
- Stephen Lawrence Cooley
Stephen Lawrence Cooley has served as a prosecutor for 27 years in Los Angeles. Cooley, who is known to have over-seen thousands of felony cases, continues to win in the courtroom and win landslide elections as the first district attorney in Los Angeles history to be re-elected to a third consecutive term.
- Mark A. Richardson
Mark Richardson is the Cole County, Missouri prosecuting attorney. Richardson has worked in the prosecutor's office for over 10 years and has won over 55 criminal jury trials including, murder, felony assualts, robberies, and child molestation and drug cases.

Reduce GrrlScientist's Antarctic Vote Threat Level from Orange to Green by voting for her today!
Details: Quark Expeditions is searching for an Official Blogger to join a voyage to Antarctica. Their goals, according to an email I received recently from their official spokesperson, Prisca, are to have their official blogger write a daily blog entry in English about his or her experience on this Antarctic trip, and to help raise public awareness of the environmental and conservation issues that pertain to the Antarctic. To select their official blogger, they are asking candidates to enter a competition where the public votes for whom they think would do the best job.
I am a wonderful candidate for this job as the official blogger for Quark Expeditions because I have been a prolific writer of a science and nature blog for five years, I have earned essential scientific training and background as well as having taught all age groups from children through adults, I have always strongly supported environmental and conservation objectives, and I possess intellectual curiosity combined with a sense of wonder.
Perhaps most important of these stated job requirements is writing ability. I have proven that I write consistently and well because I am one of just a few blog writers whose contributions have appeared in every edition of the Open Laboratory, which is a print collection of the finest science, medicine and natural history writing published in the blogosphere; I am also a published writer and additionally, my blog platform here at ScienceBlogs provides tremendous international reach, unwavering public support by my fellow blog writing colleagues, and strong technical support among the ScienceBlogs staff as well as from its parent company, Seed Media Group. Furthermore, a trip like this would be an amazing way for me to thank all of you, dear readers, for supporting me throughout these past difficult years.
I've posted a picture and written a 300 word essay and my entry is public. To vote, go there and register your email address (and create a different password from that used for your email). Then, within a few seconds to an hour or so, you will receive a confirmatory message at your registered email address so you can then vote in this competition. Remember, according to the rules, there is "one vote per valid email address" and no more than two votes per individual. So after you've voted, be sure to ask everyone you know to vote for me, too. If you've had troubles registering your email address, please contact me (so I know of your troubles) and Quark Expedition's marketing manager, Prisca Campbell, who will then register your email address by hand, as she's already done for at least one of my readers.
Voting ends at noon EDT on 30 September 2009, and the Official Quark Blogger will travel to Antarctica in February 2010 to blog about the experience, chronicling the action, the emotion, and the drama as this polar adventure unfolds.

How does a math and science college major and retired school nurse/teacher become a town historian?
The link is genealogy.
"History was not my big subject," said Marilyn Breakey, 74. "But in the late 1970s, I got into genealogy and I thought 'that looks like fun.' Well 'that looks like fun' turned into a 45-year career!"
Breakey was appointed town historian for Van Buren in January and has spent the first part of the year sorting and organizing. She recently inventoried all the files and is in the process of tackling the reference section. Her next project includes sifting through one full drawer of undocumented, unidentified photos, of which she said there could easily be up to 300. She has already found homes for two pictures of a rural school called Prattham.
"I went online, researched it — turns out [the school's] in Mexico," Breakey said. "I got rid of two of them!"
While Breakey describes herself as an organizational nut, it's the time spent learning about the populace that she loves best.
"I'm more interested in talking to the people," she said. "If someone has some interesting memories passed down from their parents by people here in Van Buren, I would love to hear from them. All they have to do is call the town clerk's number and she will get the information to me and I'll get back to them."
Breakey recently interviewed a 92-year-old woman who was a student in one of the old rural school districts here. She graduated from Oswego in 1943, then a degree-granting Oswego State Teachers College.
"I want to know what the memories are," she said.
Prior to becoming the town historian, Breakey did some intensive research about the conifer logging community in the Adirondacks. Consequently, she wrote an article that was published in Quarterly, a magazine published by the St. Lawrence County Historical Association.

mega–clock tower broke several world records when it opened in 2011. For now,
at least, it's the tallest clock tower in the world, the tallest hotel in the
world (the Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower), and the world's largest clock
face—visible from 16 miles away and topped by a golden crescent minaret whose
massive loudspeakers emit prayer calls to a distance of four miles. If that
weren't enough, it's also the world's second tallest building, exceeded only by
Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The mega-structure is adjacent to the world's largest
mosque, the Masjid al-Haram. fairmont.com/makkah —Adam H. Graham

Tornado Preparedness Week 2013
Friday - November 1, 2013 - Ways to Receive Warnings & Alerts
This is the final day of Tornado Preparedness Week in Mississippi. Throughout this week we have provided educational information that should help everyone to better understand the tornado risk our region is in. We hope everyone took the opportunity to exercise their preparedness plans with the tornado drill on Wednesday. Now we will cover some of the primary ways to receive severe weather information and also provide content so everyone knows what to do when severe weather occurs. It can save your life.
In today's society, technology is at the forefront of our lives. This means that there are many ways to receive weather information and, more importantly, weather warnings. One such way to gather weather information is through NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards. The National Weather Service utilizes weather radio to broadcast continuous weather information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While routine programming consists of forecast information, climate reports, hazardous weather outlooks and current weather conditions, programming will be interrupted when severe weather is impacting the listening area. When properly programmed, NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards will alert you of a warning for your area by providing an audible tone and visual alert. NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards can be programmed for one county or multiple counties to receive weather warnings and can run on battery backup if power is out. NOAA weather radios can be purchased at many electronics stores for a small price.
A new way to receive weather warnings is from the wireless emergency alerts WEA feature for cell phones. This is a new avenue that government agencies use to send urgent messages directly to cell phones in an impacted area. Apps or additional software are not needed and messages will look very similar to text messages when received. Given this is a new service, please contact your service provider for more information.
Television, commercial radio, the internet, and other text messaging services are other ways to receive weather information and warnings. The key to staying informed is to have multiple ways of receiving weather alerts as technology failures, delays or other unforeseen circumstances may occur. Redundancy is key to preparedness.
Social media is a fast growing sector of technology and most warnings along with other weather information are relayed through Facebook or Twitter.
Sirens are another means of receiving tornado warnings. This system is mostly focused in cities and towns and is primarily made to alert people who are outdoors and removed from various forms of media.
We urge everyone to plan ahead. Conduct drills at home, at your place of business, and at your school. Do not wait until a tornado is at your doorstep before doing something that could save your life.

Air Defence Identification Zone
The Air Defense Identification Zone is airspace over land or water in which the ready identification, location, and control of civil aircraft over land or water is required in the interest of national security. China's Defence Ministry announced its ADIZ over a vast area in the East China Sea on November 23, 2013, which covers the area around the Diaoyu islands, controlled by Japan and known as the Senkaku Islands. The establishment of this zone drew strong opposition from Japan, the US and South Korea, becoming a flashpoint in East Asian politics and security.
US pledges extra sea defence assistance to Asean members
Kerry pledges additional US$32.5 million for Asean members in face of growing tensions with Beijing, and strongly criticises air defence zone
Associated Press in Hanoi
Most Popular
Secretary of State John Kerry announced yesterday that the United States would boost maritime security assistance to the countries of Southeast Asia amid rising tensions with Beijing.
On his first visit to Vietnam as America's top diplomat, Kerry pledged an additional US$32.5 million for members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
It is intended to help them protect their territorial waters and navigational freedom in the South China Sea, where four states have competing claims with China.
Watch: US Sec. of State, offers new support for Vietnam maritime security
Included in the new aid is up to US$18 million for Vietnam alone that will include five fast patrol boats for its coastguard.
With the new contribution, US maritime security assistance to the region will exceed US$156 million over the next two years.
Kerry said the new assistance was not a "quickly conceived reaction" to events in the region. Rather, it was a "gradual and deliberate expansion" of US support as part of the Obama administration's broader decision to refocus attention on the Asia-Pacific region.
However, his comments came as Washington and Beijing are involved in a diplomatic row over a near collision between US and Chinese naval vessels in the South China Sea just 11 days ago.
Beijing announced on November 23 that it was establishing an air defence zone over the East China Sea. All aircraft entering the zone are required to notify Chinese authorities beforehand.
Neighbouring countries and the US have said they will not honour the new zone - believed to be aimed at claiming disputed territory - and have said it unnecessarily raises tensions.
"Peace and stability in the South China Sea is a top priority for us and for countries in the region," Kerry said at a news conference with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh. "We are very concerned by and strongly opposed to coercive and aggressive tactics to advance territorial claims."
While stressing US neutrality on the competing sovereignty claims, Kerry called on China and the Asean nations to quickly agree to a binding code of conduct for the South China Sea and to resolve their disputes peacefully through negotiations.
China's increasing assertiveness in the region - including the establishment of the air defence zone - has alarmed many of the 10 Asean members, including Vietnam and the Philippines, which Kerry will visit today.
Kerry's announcement was accompanied by blunt criticism of China for its creation of the air defence zone and suggestions that it might do the same in the South China Sea.
As such, it is almost certain to anger Beijing, which bristles at what it sees as US interference in areas China considers to be in its "core interest".
Kerry said the air zone "clearly increases the risk of a dangerous miscalculation or an accident" that could lead to possible conflict between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands - known as the Senkakus in Japan - which each claim as their own.
He said the US was "very concerned about recent actions that have increased tensions between China and Japan".
He added: "We call for intensified negotiations and diplomatic initiatives.
"The zone should not be implemented, and China should refrain from taking similar unilateral actions elsewhere, particularly in the South China Sea."
