Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 10The Devries Family
Despite their physical limitations and a farm home that is separating at the seams, bus drivers Sue and Dirk DeVries have transformed the lives of students in their community through ingenuity, music and mentorship. Sue suffers from a serious heart arrhythmia which is becoming increasingly more life threatening. Often times feeling ill and fatigued, she still shines as a loving music teacher, band director, first grade reading specialist and bus driver for her school's evening route. After losing his arm in a farming accident, Dirk suffers from severe arthritis in his only hand, limiting his ability to make major home repairs. In addition to needing a new home, a new school bus, and new music instruments, Dirk DeVries is also in need of a new prosthetic arm.
At home, the DeVries family finds that their mother's health is often hindered by the deterioration of their home. The roof is beyond repair, constantly leaking whenever it rains. Severe water damage and rotting wood are pulling the ceilings and walls apart along many seams of the home. In this episode of Extreme Makeover, the team travels to Minnesota to rebuild this crumbling home for the DeVries.
In the new kitchen, KraftMaid cabinetry was designed in cherry wood, finished in the warm, reddish-brown Autumn Blush stain. Stainless Steel Bar pulls and Wintersday glass inserts accent the cabinet doors. The craft room was outfitted with plenty of maple cabinets, finished in the silver-grey tones of Pewter with Graphite Glaze. Brushed Pewter knobs and cup pulls adorned the door and drawers, while glass inserts bring light into the room. A beautiful entryway bench was crafted from cherry wood and finished in KraftMaid's Chocolate stain, completed with Stainless Steel Bar pulls.

|Victims Assistance Office receives funding help from City of Holyoke
|Written by April Peregoy
Lending a helping hand, Holyoke City Council agreed to donate some much-needed funds to Phillips County Victims Assistance Office.
The decision was reached after director Shawna Bergstrom approached the council with the request at the regular Holyoke City Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 3.
Bergstrom began by informing the council about the history of the Phillips/Sedgwick County offices and her involvement with the program. There are currently four other trained advocates working or volunteering for the offices in Phillips and Sedgwick counties.
Funded through VOCA, VALE and VAWA, the Victims Assistance program is on-call at all times in Phillips and Sedgwick counties to help and support victims through the legal process and the emotional stress that can result.
While Victims Assistance advocates are obligated to help victims of crimes, Bergstrom said they will respond to any incident where law enforcement feels they are needed. One of the main advantages of having an advocate available, she said, is the advocate can take care of the victim, thereby freeing up officers to handle the criminal aspects of the situation.
"We can usually create a bond with the person and then act as a liasion between them and the police," she said.
According to Bergstrom, an advocate spends, on average, 40-50 hours on one case. This is because of the many services the office provides. Along with trauma counseling, advocates also provide information to the victims on victim's compensation, their legal rights and updates on court cases and custody.
She added if these services are not offered, a person can file a formal complaint against the court. She then reported an example of one that happened recently to Kit Carson County. "We want to keep doing a good job to keep that from happening here," said Bergstrom.
Even though the state of Colorado requires law enforcement agencies to provide victims of crimes with advocates, state funding for Victims Assistance programs has been repeatedly slashed over the last few years. Which is why Bergstrom is approaching all the local governments in Phillips and Sedgwick counties for help.
After some consideration, council members agreed to the $2,500 request, noting Victims Assistance is used by Holyoke Police Dept. for many things, is good for the community and is required by state statutes.
State issues addressed
Upon receiving counsel from City Attorney Al Wall to do so, council members agreed Tuesday night to send a letter of support, on behalf of RRWCD, to the commissioners of the Republican River Compact Administration regarding a Colorado resolution to approve an augmentation plan and accounting procedures for the Republican River Compact Compliance Pipeline.
This issue was addressed at the council's Jan. 20 meeting, but had been tabled due to Wall's absence.
The city attorney told the council it would be in its best interest to support the Pipeline Project, as it keeps Colorado in compliance with its Compact Allocations without having to shut down any wells in the area. He added though people in Holyoke may think the problem only concerns those in Yuma County and farther south, if a drought were to occur in the future, wells farther north may have to be shut down as well if the pipeline is not built.
Councilman Orville Tonsing brought up another state issue that is of concern to the City. In order to balance the current fiscal year budget as well as the next year's, the Governor's Office of Planning and Budgeting has outlined priorities for budget reductions.
The cuts have to be approved by the General Assembly in the form of legislation originating from the Joint Budget Committee; however, it is likely the committee will follow most of Gov. Ritter's suggestions.
The suggestion Tonsing is concerned about is one calling for the suspension of state payments to the Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA) through Oct. 2011. The legislation reads as follows:
"The state will make up the payments starting again in FY 11-12, as well as retain responsibility for the additional unfunded liability that will accrue at the eight percent actuarial assumption rate. The $34.8 million reduction each of the next three years, assuming the state resumes the statutorily required payment of $25.3 million in FY 11-12, mean the state faces a final payment in FY 14-15 of nearly $84 million."
According to City Clerk Kathy Olofson, DOLA matches the amount of funds the City of Holyoke puts into the FPPA, which last year equaled $5,084. If this legislation were passed, it means over $5,000 would be reduced from local firefighter and police pensions every year through the suspension.
Tonsing recommended council members and the public write their local legislative representatives, asking them to reconsider the legislation. He added he believes the legislation would burden everyone because of the huge $84 million payment that will be due at the end of the suspension.
The council decided to take his suggestion one step further and will write a letter on behalf of the City of Holyoke to both Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg and to CML.
Street Dept. to get pickup
According to City Supt. Mark Brown, the street dept. is well past due for a new pickup. The current one, he reported, is a 1993 Chevy with over 180,000 miles on it. At the meeting Tuesday he presented a quote from Burke Chevrolet for a new one-ton pickup.
Councilman Ray Bailey asked Brown if the purchase is necessary, noting the council may "get some heat" for it from the public at a time when it is raising prices for services.
The City Supt. said the new truck is necessary as he does not feel comfortable having employees drive very far distances in the old one. He added, he believes the cost of the new pickup will offset future maintenance expenses that would be needed to keep the old one running.
It was also pointed out that the city has been saving money in the equipment replacement fund for years, specifically for this expense, and the money will not be coming from the 2009 fund.
Hearing this, Bailey said he would be willing to support the purchase and the council agreed to go with the quote presented by Brown.
Other business
In other business, city council members:
—approved the 2008 year-end transfers.
—granted a travel request for Olofson to attend the CEBT Regional Renewal Conference.
—approved a travel request for Olofson and Bailey to attend the Understanding the Colorado Common Grant Application Grant Trainings in Sterling.
—agreed to purchase a DeWalt Combo Tool Kit from Holyoke General Store for $739.99.

WASHINGTON—Today the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) announced the following briefing:
Dispatches from Moscow: Luke Harding's chilling tale of KGB harassment
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
2:00 pm
210 Cannon House Office Building
Please join the U.S. Helsinki Commission for a timely on-the-record discussion with veteran war correspondent and acclaimed author Luke Harding. Last year, Harding became the first Western journalist to be expelled from Russia since the Cold War.
Arriving in Moscow in 2007 as Guardian correspondent, Harding's incisive reporting on sensitive subjects such as human rights abuses in the North Caucasus and the secret wealth of senior officials earned him a faithful readership and the wrath of Russia's secret police. Struggling to faithfully report the news, he experienced numerous break-ins, aggressive surveillance, and was even summoned to the infamous Lefortovo prison.
Harding's recently published Mafia State has been called, "required reading for anyone seeking to understand the new yet familiar face of Russian authoritarianism."
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Hi everyone - we are hoping that someone could help shed some light on a problem we are facing in our office. We recently implemented the Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) Open Source Edition it is an excellent piece of system. However, we have just noticed that the out of office feature is not working as it should (Or maybe it is, but we have done something or not completed something required). Internal to internal is working but external to internal does not appear to be sending the bounce back out of office message to the sender. Using Google we found that we can check the mailbox.log file for information. However, I have to assume that the system is trying to send the message as it display mailbox - outofoffice sent firstname.lastname@example.com' rcpt='user@company_domain.com'. We don't see anything regarding OOO or OutOfOffice message not being sent or errors.
We only have one domain configured in the Zimbra Collaboration Server which is just our organizations domain. Does anyone know what exactly we might be missing or configured wrong in Zimbra. Why is our out of office not boucning back to external senders. Please help or steer us in right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Inbound/Outbound mail flow works.
Thank you!

Two Elkhart County lawmakers sign on as co-authors of same-sex marriage ban legislation
Two state lawmakers serving Elkhart County have signed on as co-authors of the controversial marriage amendment measure up for consideration by the Indiana legislature, underscoring their strong support for the proposal.
"I believe it's time for voters to have the opportunity to vote on it," State Rep. Tim Wesco, one of the two lawmakers, said Friday, Jan. 10.
That isn't deterring local foes of the measure, though.
"It doesn't dampen my intention at all. It doesn't dampen my spirit," said the Rev. Amy DeBeck, pastor of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Elkhart, one of several volunteers here pushing against the measure.
Lawmakers on Thursday formally introduced the measure calling for a vote in November elections on whether to amend the Indiana Constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. That would effectively prohibit same-sex marriage.
The high-profile measure, House Joint Resolution 3, is generating broad attention and among the three co-authors are Wesco, a Republican from Osceola, and State Rep. Wes Culver, a Goshen Republican. State Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, is the author and State Rep. Rhonda Rhoads, R-Corydon, is the third co-author.
Wesco's district includes part of western Elkhart County, including southern Elkhart, while Culver represents Goshen and much of eastern Elkhart County.
Wesco co-authored House Joint Resolution 6 in 2011, the predecessor legislation to HJR 3, and he said his status as co-author of HJR 3 reflects his commitment to the measure. Being co-author of a measure, he said, mainly serves to reflect a lawmaker's strong support. He won't necessarily have a central role in guiding the bill along the legislative process, Wesco said, but he'll be involved.
"I'll certainly advocate for the bill with my colleagues on a one-on-one basis and in other ways," Wesco said in a phone interview.
Culver didn't immediately respond to calls seeking comment.
HJR 3 — the same as HJR 6, but renamed when it was introduced for the 2014 session — will be the focus of debate Monday in the Indiana House Judiciary Committee. Similar resolutions calling for constitutional amendment questions must be approved by two separately elected legislatures.
Wesco and Culver have been steadfast in their support for amending the Indiana Constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Both maintain that heterosexual marriages lead to stronger families and, consequently, a stronger society.
Similarly, much of the rest of the delegation representing Elkhart County in Indianapolis has voiced support for the marriage amendment question, including State Reps. Tim Neese and David Ober and State Sens. Joe Zakas and Carlin Yoder, all Republicans. State Rep. Rebecca Kubacki, also a Republican, has expressed reservations, in part because Indiana law already defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
The strong backing by the local legislative delegation notwithstanding, DeBeck, who's working with Freedom Indiana, doesn't plan to stop her efforts against the amendment proposal. Freedom Indiana is a statewide group formed to defeat the amendment plans.
Around a dozen volunteers meet weekly to work phone banks, calling voters around Indiana, DeBeck said, and they even worked independently at their respective homes during the snowstorm earlier in the week. DeBeck has voiced her opposition to the amendment proposal as a matter of defending the rights and freedoms of everybody, including the gay community.

Wheel and Tire Fitment - Fit More Tire!Written by on April 1, 2012 Here's three easy ways to get the most wheel and tire your car can hold
Elsewhere in this issue we've explored all the myriad ways in which you can ruin a car's look by failing to consider all the elements that have come together to create a complementary look. One of the key elements is wheel and tire fitment—not just how much of either you have, but where it's positioned under the car.
You've seen the guys who get this wrong. From a sideview, everything may seem copacetic, but when viewed askew or from the front or rear, the rollers are either sticking out too far, or sucked inward toward the framerails. It's all about perception of proper proportion and there are really two basic elements to consider: get as much wheel and tire width as will fit, and bring the whole package outward toward the sheetmetal as much as possible. You want to create the feeling that the rollers are using all of the available real estate in the wheelwells, no more, no less.
Historically, that was a bit of a problem, since one-piece cast wheels are only available in whatever standard group of backspace options that manufacturer chooses to produce them in. They may have one or two that will technically fit a given car, but it's guaranteed that there will be a trade-off. You either won't get as much width as you could, or it could have that unmistakable "generic" fitment.
Nowadays, two-piece wheels are common and come in a wide array of styles and prices, and thanks to the centers being manufactured separately from the rim, the number of backspacing options skyrockets. We knew we wanted something with a little attitude to give the EcoNova more personality than the chrome rallies could, so we gave Zak Kingsland from Boze Wheels a call to figure out what to use. Boze has a huge assortment of styles available, which is key for matching an oddball body like our '76. Plus, Boze is local to Bodie Stroud Industries where the EcoNova currently resides and they regularly do business together, so he volunteered to swing by and show use the finer points of what to consider when ordering custom wheels and three unique ways to do it.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
It's critical to remember that on most cars the uppermost peak of the wheel lips is usually the area of greatest clearance. As Kingsland rotates the "T" forward the well lip rolls inward toward the rocker, and the clearance drops quickly down to 9.5 inches. However, by referencing the radius of our planned 25.5-inch combo on the yardstick and where we expect the tire to tuck inside, we discovered that the EcoNova's long oval wheelwells allowed for plenty of clearance before rolling inward.Here's where it gets a little tricky with the rulers; the first place a tire will make contact during a turn on a subframe-equipped GM car is on the rearward side of the subframe itself. With the discs pointed straight ahead, Kingsland noted where the two intersected, then we slowly turned the steering wheel to full lock and measured how much more backspacing could safely be packaged.The hub diameter may or may not be an important measurement to have, depending upon the car and the wheels you opt to run. For hub-centric wheels, it's a much more critical number. For our Nova, we're more interested in confirming clearance in the wheel.While it's not an issue with our stock GM rear drum brakes, the front discs and their hefty hub need to be measured to make sure they'll fit beneath the center cap. In our case, the 2.8-inch hub height would require a specific centersection for the wheel that has extra depth. Also note the step on the hub; we need the measurement at the fattest point to ensure clearance.If you need to confirm the bolt circle, the ruler will tell all as well. Simply measure from the center of one stud to the rear of the stud that is almost directly across from it. You can also measure from the center to center on the studs and multiply by 1.05. Either way will get you close enough to make the answer obvious.Up front, we start with the same clearance measurements to get a baseline. Of course, the front wheels do much more than just roll along like the rears.Brake templates are downloadable from companies like Baer Brakes if you'd like to be very exact. Here's how to quickly check whether the wheel you're considering will clear your intended brake package. Neither diameter nor caliper size will be an issue with our 11-inch discs. If you're running the good stuff, Boze has special forgings for Baer, Brembo, StopTech, SSBC, CPP, Wilwood, and AP Racing.For a starting point, Kingsland measured the backspacing on the 15x7 rally that came off the car, since we knew it cleared with no issues. It was 4 inches dead-on.
An all-in-one wheel diameter, width, and backspace, and tire-profile—measuring device, the Percy's WheelRite is a useful tool that's cheap at SummitRacing.com.Here's how it works. When bolted onto the wheel mounting surface, the sections of the WheelRite are slid to create the dimensions of the wheel. The wire across the top simulates the width and aspect ratio of the tire you want to run. We went for a 245/40 on an 8-inch rim and rotated the WheelRite around inside the wheelwell to check for subframe clearance. Looking good so far.Though it's the priciest and the most complicated, our favorite tool is the Wheel Fit from Wheel Works.When assembled, the Wheel Fit will not only allow you to determine wheel diameter, width, and backspace, it'll also hold the actual tire you want to run. The beauty here is being able to really see exactly where the issues are going to arise and what needs to be considered.Using a spare 275/40R18 from Bodie's stash, Kingsland mounted up the Wheel Fit to do a near real-world double check of the clearances he had measured previously. He was dead-on, no adjustments necessary.Here's what all that work was for; a set of awesome looking Boze Pro Touring wheels in 18x8 and 18x9. It's hard to match the '75-79 Novas with a custom wheel, in our opinion, so we opted for a European touring style that would add some aggression to EcoNova without being overly flashy. These hit on all points, plus the multi-spoke design is strong and ready for the sticky 275-series Nitto NT-05 tires.Mounted on the EcoNova, everything clears exactly like we planned, and looks even better in relation to the sheetmetal.Oops, the Boze Pro Touring wheels look amazing on the EcoNova, but we've violated one of our 13 Sins Of Stance with a "Floodwater" look! That's to be expected with stock springs and taking a couple hundred pounds off the nose with the E-Rod LS3. No sweat, it's nothing a shorter set of springs won't fix.

Development, poverty reduction and sustainable management of the environment ultimately depend on social stability and peace. Yet, since the end of the Cold War, conflict is increasingly fought within, rather than between nations, and is killing and displacing civilians as never before.
Likewise, the frequency and impacts of disasters are on the rise, driven in part by climate change.
The poor and the marginalized are disproportionately affected by conflicts and disasters, and are the least equipped to recover. Evidence is emerging that appropriate management of ecosystems and natural resources can help reduce the vulnerability of human communities. Conversely, resource mismanagement may lead to degradation and scarcity, as well as inequitable access to resources and benefit sharing from their use, adding to the growing threats of conflict and disaster.
IUCN is commited to help build the resilience of human communities in rural areas to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change.
A diverse set of Case studies, guidelines and tools on social aspects of climate change vulnerability and resilience can be found on the IUCN Governance of Natural Portal.

WEIRTON - Oak Glen blew open a close game in the third quarter Friday night to defeat Weir 33-12 and get the first leg on a new Carl Hamill Trophy at the new Jimmy Carey Stadium.
Weir, loser of six straight games, surprisingly hung around but was unable to capitalize on several opportunities. The Red Riders trailed 7-0 at the half, but yielded two third-quarter touchdowns before finally getting on the scoreboard.
The victory snapped a three-game Golden Bears losing streak and gave them four straight victories in the annual clash of the Hancock County rivals..
''This win was something we really needed,'' first-year Oak Glen coach Ian Whittington said. ''We needed it to get our confidence back up and try to get on a roll.''
Weir kicked off to the Golden Bears to open the second half and senior Trey Smith ran the ball to the 43. Then, senior Tyler Steed took over running the ball five straight times down to the Red Riders 10 yard-line.
After an illegal substitution penalty put the ball back to the15, junior quarterback Bub Haddox threw an incomplete pass and then took the ball himself around right end on a keeper for a touchdown. Josh Weltner's kick made the score 14-0 to give the Golden Bears some breathing room.
The Golden Bears had also scored on their first possession of the first half with Steed going up the middle from 38 yards out.
Red Rider coach Tony Filberto said he was proud of his kids.
''I told you guys we had a lot of pride at Weir High,'' he said. ''We turned the ball over a couple of times, but we started five freshmen on defense and hung in there.''
In addition to playing the youngsters, three Red Riders upperclassmen were injured in the second half and were unable to finish the contest.
Right before the first half ended, the Red Riders had an opportunity to score as their defense had Oak Glen's back to the wall and faced with a fourth-and-15 at their own 5. Junior punter Colton Speece could only kick the ball out to his own 26.
Red Riders quarterback William Larch lofted a pass to the left corner near the end zone, but junior receiver Jaquan Ware dropped the football at the Oak Glen 2-yard line. On third down, Larch's pass was intercepted at the Golden Bears 5 by Cody Howell.
Larch, a sophomore, finished 5 of 13 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. The two touchdown passes came on spectacular plays and both times he found sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Rice open, hitting him in full stride down the right sideline. One went for a 69-yard touchdown, the other was for 82 yards.
However, by this time the Golden Bears were in command by 21-0 on a 1-yard quarterback keeper by Haddox, who scored three rushing touchdowns.
''We were playing a lot of man coverage and occasionally the receiver will get behind the defense,'' Whittington said of Rice's catches. ''That kid is a heck of a ballplayer and really fast. He went over our kid's shoulder and caught it and that will happen when you play man coverage all game.''

Networking next week at CSCMP
CSCMP's Annual Global Conference offered supply chain management practitioners more professional education and personal growth opportunities than any other supply chain conference. Learning from global experts and network with thousands of colleagues.
September 21, 2010
In less than a week from now, many of us will be at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Annual Conference. This year's locale is sunny San Diego.
Personally speaking, I cannot wait for this event. If it is like past years, there will be lots of value from an editorial perspective, what with 20 session tracks there is clearly something for everybody.
For me, it helps me prioritize what is happening on both a granular and topical level. And given the myriad things occurring across the supply chain, logistics, and freight transportation sectors, that is not to be underestimated.
While I have printed out the voluminous CSCMP conference booklet and picked the sessions I want to attend, I have yet to get to the part of CSCMP I actually like the best. That part is the networking aspect.
In the last five years, I have met several people across all areas of our industry: shippers, carriers, 3PLs, academics, analysts, lobbyists, consultants and some of my friends in the PR community as well. Perhaps I met you there at one of them.
In any event, there is very little that can replace the value of face-to-face networking. And that is what events like CSCMP—and others—bring to the table in spades. Are the sessions and speakers important to attend and listen to? Absolutely. But face time with old friends and making new ones is equally key as well.
That said, the countdown is on for one of the biggest industry conferences and networking events of the year. Hope to see you there.

Governing Debate Continues in W.Va.
April 1, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — Whether it comes to seat belts, child care centers or raw milk, the debate over when government should step in continues at the West Virginia Legislatur....
Revolutions were fought over this kind of tyrannical government!!
Government NEVER does ANYTHING for the "peoples" benefit!
They simply do what the largest BRIBE tells them to do!!
The insurance lobby has greased palms in a BIG way in West Virginia!!
This nation is now on the brink of war because of corrupt politicians like those in West Virginia so keep it up and let's just get this revolution over with so the people can start a NEW government that is OF the people BY the people and FOR the people!!!
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -- Declaration of Independence
As Patrick Henry said "LET IT COME!"

The American people are getting tired of being told to drink milk not coke by government. Why does government always think they need laws passed to protect the safety of the people. Use the commonsense rule it's your responsibility and your stuck with with results.

Hello everybody,
I watched The Business of Being Born and decided a home birth is for me. With that said, I need to know what I need to do to prepare myself for the birthing process, pain, etc? Will I just know what to do? What if there is complications as the baby is coming out? Any and all info is much appreciated.
Thank you,
Views: 61
I can't, I'm sorry. I had a hospital birth. :) The Bradley classes and a doula probably saved me from a c-section---no lie. But I have almost signed the papers for a home birth for baby #2. Reading Ina May has really encouraged me to trust birth even more.
I had some bad bleeding with baby #1 after the delivery (which actually may have been caused by some standard hospital procedures). This is the one fear that I need to get over before I can start paying my deposit on the home birth midwife. I posted a questions about PPH and home birth on this forum, but so far no one has responded. Some girls did respond on a different forum, though, and they are helping me get over this fear.
Does your MW attend water births? When I was in labor at the hospital, I just thought about how wonderful it would be to take a bath (they didn't have ANY tubs). The MW I'm planning on using this time has her own birthing tubs. I think water (either in a tub or even standing in the shower) might really help you deal with the contractions at home.
But perhaps the biggest thing to influence pain is the position of the baby and your level of anxiety. If you are tense, pain will feel so much worse (just grab your arm tightly, now flex it---see how much more it hurts). Also, you will no doubt learn ways to help your baby be in an optimal position by reading your books and doing more research. For example, later on in your pregnancy, avoid reclining in a chair. Try to sit upright as much as possible, with legs "pretzel-style." I also did a lot of leaning over a birth ball just while watching TV in the evenings. Keeping baby in the best position will make sure that he/she isn't pressing on something he/she shouldn't be (which would make labor a lot longer and more painful).
I think there are some good home birth stories on here. Also, you could check out the home birth groups on babycenter.com. And there's a great Facebook page that I find encouraging (as far as resisting the urge to be induced and whatnot): https://www.facebook.com/letthebabychoose
I am planning a home birth and luckily have a very supportive husband, family & midwife.
My midwife has a doula training program which recommends some great books... her site is lifecyclescenter.org/ and you can find her reading list there.
I just started reading "birthing from within" Amazing read!
I agree completely with Teresa. This is why I haven't signed anything with my HB midwife just yet. Some days I still struggle with whether I would actually be hindered by being at home (past birth complications and family history issues weighing me down). I do think it's important to really examine where you would feel most comfortable--wherever that is. For myself, several of my close friends have had home births and are planning them for their next babies. In a way, I'd be the odd one out if I go to the hospital. But I know this isn't about other people---it's about ME. We all need to do what we think is best for ourselves. It's about YOUR best birth and no one else's.
Good luck!
Oh, Cheryl! I am so sorry!
I haven't gone through the pain you've experienced, but I can tell you that the women I know who have had natural labors and have also miscarried babies ALWAYS say the miscarriage was much, much more difficult. I am not sure if it's the emotional pain of it that causes the physical pain to be harder, but all I know is that they have all said it hurt so much more than their labors.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss. :( And someday, when you do get pregnant again, just know that you can still accomplish a natural birth, if that's what you still want. But if you'd feel more comfortable being in a setting where pain medications are available, should you want them, then be confident in that decision, too. Do whatever feels right to you and makes you feel safe and secure.
I think there may be a pregnancy loss group on here. Maybe some of those ladies can offer you more support than I can. I sincerely wish you the best.
Cheryl! That's awful!! I'm so sorry and praying for you during this difficult time.
My miscarriage was way more painful than my natural births and I do believe the emotions and dramatic drop in hormones contributed to my pain.

Danica Patrick, who drives the No. 10 Chevrolet, is in her second season as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and her second with Stewart-Haas Racing and crew chief Tony Gibson. Patrick, who spent seven years driving open-wheel cars in the IndyCar Series (2005-11), has one career top-10 and one career pole in Sprint Cup — both at the 2013 Daytona 500.
A recap of the Duck Commander 500:
WHERE SHE STARTED: Qualified 24th for the 500-mile event, her third-best starting position in NASCAR's first seven races.
WHERE SHE FINISHED: Patrick was 27th, two laps down at the 1.5-mile oval, after struggling with an ill-handling car.
TEXAS: Logano holds off Gordon for victory
WHAT SHE SAID:"... the track changed a lot with the weather, and I think that really hurt us. It was disappointing, because we had a fast racecar today; but we did make the right adjustments, and the pit crew did a nice job in the pits all day."
HOW IT UNFOLDED: Patrick had trouble with the handling in the No. 10 Chevrolet from the start, as crew chief Tony Gibson made several adjustments. The race began with a 10-lap caution period as NASCAR continued a track drying effort after showers soaked the area Sunday. However, the sun came out and track temperatures rose, giving some teams trouble as they adjusted setups on the fly.
NEXT RACE: Bojangles' Southern 500, Darlington Raceway, Saturday, 6:45 p.m. ET (Fox)
LAST TIME: Patrick finished 28th after starting 40th at the 1.366-mile track.
CONCERT UPDATE: Patrick also apparently was disappointed to learn the Miley Cyrus concert scheduled in Charlotte on Monday night after the race was cancelled. When local TV station WBTV announced Cyrus had to pull the plug at the last moment because of illness, Patrick's reaction was featured by the Charlotte-based news channel:
"Me and my girls were so ready to twerk tonight........," Patrick tweeted.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." And thus begins one of the most famous, most read, most fantabulous works of fiction ever to be written: Jane Austin's classic satire of English life, love, and language, Pride and Prejudice. It's a tale that has resonated with generations of readers, whether in its original printed form (see here for my favorite hardcover version of the book) or on the big and small screens. It's been serialized for television by the BBC (why, hello Colin Firth in a wet shirt as Mr. Darcy), updated with a slightly grungy aesthetic and a moon-faced, perpetually parted-lipped Keira Knightley in 2005; and even contemporized for audiences (hello again, Colin Firth as Mark Darcy) in Bridget Jones's Diary. And as Pride and Prejudice celebrates the 200th anniversary of its first printing, I've decided to cast aside the dystopian young-adult fiction I'm currently consuming with the discernment of a 10-year-old boy (don't you dare judge) and return to the wit and romance of literature's lovely roots: the so-cozy-it's-suffocating coterie of the Bennett sisters, their longing-filled days spent roaming the heaths of Hertfordshire, and the complicated loves that finally break through—and ultimately set them free. I suggest you get on the horse-drawn carriage and do the same.

Sometime between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, something ate the base of my giant zucchini plant and it's now dying a slow death. My guess is the squirrels got hungry, because I found a half-eaten cucumber nearby. I feel so defeated! It was still growing zucchinis for me, too. I'm glad I'm not depending on my garden to feed me!
Other casualties in my gardens include one of my cedars, a clematis and the cilantro I was so proud of at the beginning of the season. I'm not sure why my cilantro decided to call it a day, but my neighbour told me that clematis' like a plant in front of them so that their roots are shaded, so maybe that's why it didn't continue to flourish. And my mulberry shaded my cedar maybe a little too much, so if I plant another, I'll have to be sure to trim it back and give it more water. Luckily the other cedar still seems fine. Hopefully it will make it through its first winter!

Make a bold statement with a retro feel with our new Loft Collection. Inspired by classic shag designs with a new twist, this collection offers plush and inviting styles in both solids and fashion forward color combinations adding textural appeal to any floor. 22 colors are available in a variety of sizes.
This is a nice rug with lots of color choices, but it's very shaggy. The photos don't show how long the shag is - I estimate 1 1/2 to 2 inches. If you want a really shaggy rug, then this would be a rug worth considering. I needed a much shorter pile, so I returned this rug. The manufacturer, Oriental Weavers, is great overall, I have several of their rugs in my home.RECOMMENDED: No.
I love it. Perfect color and size. I'll be sure to buy another rug from Rugs USA.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
I had previously purchased this rug in a smaller size. We loved it so much that we purchased the 8x10 for our living room. It is plush, beautiful and warms up our urban loft.RECOMMENDED: Yes!

Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.Rating: Cuda 2-Good
Stay dry above and below the surface.
The Cuda Dry 2 is truly designed with the diver's comfort in mind. AERIS' patented dry snorkel technology that actually works! In addition, this snorkel is has a low-profile and comfort-fit design. The quick-release snorkel keeper allows you to remove the snorkel out from your mask for easy storage. In the event that water enters your snorkel when you are swimming on the surface, the Cuda's oversized purge will allow you to easily and effectively clear the snorkel.
You want a dry snorkel, but you need one with a smaller mouthpiece? The Cuda Dry Mini is what you're looking for. The same cuda dry feel and technology is adapted for smaller mouths and in all the same colors!
The dry snorkel technology allows for easy breathing at the surface. When you make your surface dive when snorkeling and are underwater, a small valve closes and keeps the water out. When you return to the surface, you can count on the fact your mouth will fill with air and not water. When used on a Scuba dive, the Cuda's smooth bore corrugated lower flex-tube will allow the snorkel mouthpiece to drop away from your face so it won't interfere with your Scuba regulator.
Any good piece of diving gear should allow for replacement of parts that wear out. Both the 100% liquid silicone mouthpiece and purge valve are both removable and replacements are available.

Storm deposits snow, rain on Pa.
STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Airports canceled flights, hundreds of schools dismissed early, and all manner of Friday-night events were postponed as a massive storm dumped snow on parts of eastern and central Pennsylvania — just in time for the evening commute — but seemed to cause few major problems.
The National Weather Service revised its snow forecast downward and predicted the heaviest accumulation in Pennsylvania would total 8-10 inches in the Pocono Mountains. Philadelphia expected 2-4 inches. Other parts of central and eastern Pennsylvania could see 2-8 inches by Saturday morning.
Crews treated the roads ahead of the storm, but major arteries in northeastern Pennsylvania were either slushy or snow-covered Friday night as the storm blanketed the region with an inch an hour.
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency reported no road closures or major problems as the storm intensified, and only a few hundred customers were without power late Friday — though more were possible overnight.
Still, nobody was taking chances. Public and private schools, colleges and universities throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania made the decision to close early in response to earlier forecasts of more than a foot of snow in the Poconos and lesser amounts elsewhere.
Philadelphia International Airport reported 250 canceled flights Friday, while Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport also reported a handful of cancelations. And bus service from Pennsylvania into New York City and other areas of New York and New Jersey was curtailed, stranding some passengers.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation applied brine to highways before the first flakes even fell then had its plows out in force.
Crews were giving first priority to major highways, "but that does not necessarily mean that roads are going to be completely free of ice and snow," PennDOT spokesman Steve Chizmar cautioned.
While the state has experienced a few minor snowstorms recently, Chizmar said, "this one looks like it's going to pack more of a punch, particularly in the northeast."
Pennsylvania State Police troopers were keeping a close eye of roadway conditions, with instructions to report back to the agency's watch center in Harrisburg if conditions deteriorated as expected later Friday. They were paying special attention to heavily traveled arteries like interstates 78, 81 and 476 in eastern Pennsylvania.
State police spokesman Trooper Adam Reed said the patrols are vital for helping keep the public informed of dangerous travel conditions, or when a decision is made to close a road.

I saw it. Just thought it was weird that my DVR and non DVR behaved differently. This time they are on the same software version.

Sign off on new FEMA flood maps
To the Editor:
Recently we have been made aware that some people are opposed to the village signing off on the new flood maps that will be taking many residents out of the flood zone.
Although we do sympathize with those individuals that were not pulled out, opposing the signing of the new flood maps doesn't change the fact that they still remain in, but will just place everyone else back in. Does that seem logical? As stated at the meeting with Sen. Charles Schumer and Mayor Ed Fare, those who were not culled out do have resources and the village will help. There is hope.
We totally understand the frustration surrounding this issue. However, by opposing this, we will only be funding the Federal Emergency Management Agency's foolishness, costing us thousands and placing those who are going to be designated out of the flood zone right back in. I also believe that the village signs off on the new maps, it will help facilitate future endeavors for those who are still in the flood zone.
We realize there are some questions on how FEMA came up with these maps, but we don't feel it is in the best interests to oppose Mayor Fare from signing off on them. FEMA could just turn around and say to the village, "You had your chance and you blew it," and we are right back to square one, minus the preferred risk premiums. Then it will be costing us thousands a year. That's a risk that I don't think is in the best interest of our residents.
So, we are requesting, for the sake of my family and neighbors, Mayor Fare, please sign off on the maps.

To the Editor:
I am writing to express my concerns over recent news that some residents of our village are opposing the new FEMA flood maps. I feel, as do many residents and officials in other South Shore communities, that previously designated high-risk flood zones are inaccurate.
Initially, the village signed off on adopting those maps thinking they were acting in our best interest at the time to secure lower insurance rates and premiums. However, FEMA changed our rates to astronomical figures. Mayor Ed Fare and the village board members acted swiftly to correct the problem. We kindly ask for their support again.
As the new flood zone maps have moved some of our village out of the high-risk flood area, I strongly believe that adopting these new maps is an extremely important step toward having other village areas taken out of the flood zone. It is clearly in the best interest of our residents and our village to adopt the new maps, even for those who currently are opposing them. These new maps may facilitate future revisions of inaccurately designated flood zones.
Having two major storms in recent years with no flooding in the high-risk zones proves that some areas simply do no belong in the flood zone.

As a long time village resident I went through the frustration and anxiety of the flood map debacle. I and many of our family residents stood shoulder to shoulder with with our fellow villagers to effect changes to the flood maps. I am one of the lucky ones who has been removed from the high risk status. I implore Mayor Fare to sign off on the progress we fought so hard for. I also ask that he continues to fight for all of those that are still under the gun as will I and my neighbors. Lets not give back the victory we have won. We win a was one battle at a time. There is more work to do.

To the editor:
This letter is in response to Robert Kimbrough�s March 28 letter to the editor, headlined �President Obama one of our best presidents.�
What planet is Kimbrough living on? Are we talking about the same President Barack H. Obama that occupies the White House?
Mac McGee was right, when he said, �Obama hopes to make this country a communist utopia in which the government controls all aspects of our life and knows better than we do how our lives should be lived. He is a pathological liar, hypocrite and narcissist who flip-flops more than John Kerry.�
Our national debt is now approaching the $17 trillion mark; and when Obama says that we don�t have a spending problem � then you know America is in deep trouble.
If we can survive until the end of his term we will be lucky.
In all probability, President Obama will go down as the worst president in our history but he still might rate higher than Jimmy Carter. God bless America.

Occasionally you come across something that is just phenomenal. Plus also needed, because the world does not all think in the same way when it comes to making websites. Plus it was the right thing to do. Granted, it wont create mind blowing accessibility for everyone on the Internet. But it's a start in the right direction. The name of this phenomenal is "stylebot". It's creator is Ankit Ahuja. Ankit Ahuja was mentored by Rachel Shearer in this years Google Summer of Code project for Chromium. Ankit Ahuja created a new extension for Chrome that enables users to easily customize a websites appearance. For many users this will benefit them when viewing websites that pages are less than perfect if you are sight impaired. For others you will still have to use jaws, or one of the many other text to speech software on the market because this tool is not perfect for everyone. It's not perfect because it's creator forgot that stylebot may too be a issue to view, to be able to change out colors, and text sizes on pages.
If you are sight impaired pages are a problem, but so are the many tools/apps you use. On behalf of stylebot's creator, I am hoping this is just a oversight. (No pun intended.) Not knowing what is involved in such a undertaking... perhaps he may consider down the road this needed new feature? Being able to change the text color, background, and size of stylebot would be a great addition to this nice tool. The blue, and gray text looks nice, but does nothing for the tool if you are having problems seeing it. Other than this one flaw, this tool is worthy of a look at, and a keeper for those that don't have this issue.
Link to original article:
Years ago when I first came on line. You heard more about computer users being yelled at, trolled, ignored, cussed out, and very much abused on forum and group boards for not asking a question in the right manner. I have notice that trend on many boards, and groups has been changing. There is not as much so called "old school" as there use to be. In the beginning of the year of 2000. You learned which boards you had to post to a certain way, and you did not dare stray from their way of posting. Or else, they would cut you up, and have you for dinner. Then throw your left overs out for the rest of the pack to have a go at it. They were a ruthless bunch. Called "old school". It was OK to ask a question. "But I am watching you. You better post it right or else!" For some. It was like a game, or time of passage. As soon as someone posted wrong. Out came old school to tear them a new hole. Some forums, boards, and groups were ruthless. Many people did not dare post to these type boards. They chose instead just to read the post, and move on to the next board. Then in 2001, a change started to take hold. Overnight new boards, forums, and groups emerged. With a new set of rules. As long as you did a search first, and put as much info in as possible in your post when you asked a question, or that you knew, they would help you. Yes a few were still ruthless. But many on these new boards started to tell old school to back off. They realized old school was running off potential customers. So some complained, and after much consideration, they changed. I decided my group at Yahoo, was going to be one of these new boards. We were one of the first that did not care about how a question was asked. I did not want any one yelled at, or abused in that matter. Granted it was hard at times. Because I had old school and new school on my group. But we prevailed. We won the hearts over. We Showed everyone by setting a good example. We did not stop there either. The next example we set for our users to follow was the fact that on our group the user was expected to keep their computer secure as much as they could. For many, they were not even doing this. They may have a firewall, but many had no anti-virus software. Some had neither. We set up guidelines for the users to follow, thus a rule was born, and they pretty much followed our lead to keep their computer secure at all times. Yes we have had a few failures. But for the most part our computer users tackled computer security with as much robust that they could muster. We were also the first to do this, as far as I know were were. When many of the computer groups on Yahoo were spreading viruses, our group was humming along as though it was just another day. Yes a few managed to pick up a virus or a worm here or there. But what ever was hitting Yahoo Groups at the time did not grind our group to a halt. It never has. We follow these same rules today. Have no need to change them. Honestly I don't see how a computer group can function without setting up some basic security guidelines for the members to follow. If everyone did this, I believe the Internet would be a better place. Tell them they have to do their part to help keep the Internet secure, by keeping their computer secure. Make it a rule. After all... The Internet has both businesses, and consumers on it together. From all walks of life. Not just consumers. Not just businesses. The time has come too demand secure computers. Would you please make this a common rule on your group, forum, or board? Please set a good example.
I always get the same question when it comes to security. "How do I secure my computer to keep it from getting infected all the time?" Your security may not be failing. It could be the person handling the keyboard and mouse. Some see the warnings, and just ignore them. Others see the warnings, don't understand them, and install/view anyway. Plus some others see the warnings, and could care less about them, because it is not their computer. Many people are also overwhelmed because they have several computers in the home scattered from one end of the home to the other. So it makes it hard for them to keep track of how the computer is doing if they can't keep track of the location. Mainly this would be laptops/notebooks. In other homes it is the number of people using just one laptop/notebook or desktop, and keeping track of them to make sure they are not defeating the security settings/software. Oh and we must not forget the computers that are never updated through windows update, never scanned, and the security software is never updated. I guess they like the pretty icons sitting in their task bar or something? Or maybe the lack of the icons sitting in the task bar? Because a few have even disabled their security software. Years ago a lady contacted me by email saying that her neighbors boy came over about once a week, and always when he left her computer was infected. She asked me "what is a person to do?" I said, "Plain and simple, he doesn't use your computer anymore." She emailed me back stating... "I don't want to be rude." I emailed her back and asked, "And he is not being rude to you?" I got a thank you back from her a month later. She said it was the first month she had gone through without her computer being infected in the last eight months. In the eight months this lady was not rude. She did more cleaning of her computer, than she did actually using it. She was more worried about being rude, than trying to protect her investment. She had a great security setup, but the neighbors boy ignored her security even after she explained to him her rules. What was she thinking? Another email I got was from a guy. He said his son was the problem every security he put in place this kid broke. He even caught the boy on the computer at like 2:30am in the morning. He wanted to stop him. When I found out it was a laptop. I could not help but to laugh to myself. I emailed him back and told him to put the computer in his bedroom, under the bed, or in the closet so his son would not have access to it. Then ground the boy from using the computer for a while. Clean the computer if it needs cleaned, update everything make sure the security software is always running, and if he brakes the rules about the security settings again then take the computer from him, and tell him he is not using it if he can't follow the rules. The older the child, the longer the no access to computer. A few days later I got a email back thanking me. He said it just didn't dawn on him to parent the child. The boy was sixteen, and he just did not think to do this. Another household both parents emailed me to inform me that they had a problem just keeping track, and keeping the computers clean. I can't imagine what this household was like. All I can tell you is their house was a revolving door. Teens from everywhere. Mainly because their four children were in sports. So they had all of their desktops in a central location. But anyone could use them. All of the computers had XP and Vista. They asked for suggestions. My suggestions were for all of the computers to have passwords on the teen accounts, and parents accounts. The guest account would be locked down. They could not download anything etc. They would have the most limits on this account on each of the computers. No one (their teens or themselves) could give out the passwords to their own accounts to anyone. The only password that was given out was to the limited account. Just in case someone was able to guess or find out their account passwords, it would be a good idea to change the passwords every 60 days on the teen accounts and every 30 days on the parents accounts. Someone from the home would be at or around the desktops when in use by someone outside the home. All accounts used a different desktop background too. You just about have to have this rule when there are so many using the computer. if need be, change the passwords more often. It puts a strain on the household. But it is necessary. This is just in case one of the visitors knows how to go around your security. So if that account's security does end up being breached, you can check the time and date of the breech, and have a general idea of who did it. It's not fool proof. But most don't know how to change all of, or how to breech the settings on the computer. So naturally you can find out. As for the different desktop backgrounds for each account... This is done so you will know which account they are logged into. You need only to glance at the screen to know. This family took this one step further though. They put a picture on the guest account that was only available to the guest account, and not to the others. They were able to give privacy to the guest, and be assured they were logged into the right account. This same account used a certain theme as well. They could see from across the room, or at the door which account they were logged into. They had emailed me later on and said they only had trouble with one guest because of this set up. They did not tell me what the problem was. They just said they had to stop this one guest from using their computers. Other than that. It has worked for them having this setup. Their computers are more secure than they ever have been. But it also put a strain on the family. Because they only used their account, and no one else's... They had to become more aware of what they themselves were doing on their account. There was restrictions as to what they could download, because of size of the download, and where the download was located on line. They followed my rules for downloading WOT and siteadvisor as well. This made them more aware of the potential danger on line. A lot of it they did not realize was on the websites they visited. But they were thankful for the setup because it has saved them several times. They were already avid users of security software like firewalls, and anti-virus programs. But they changed out their anti-virus software because it was not doing a good job. They were now happy. Which brings me to another example of another user that emailed me stating that her anti-virus software was just not catching the bad stuff. Her computer was infected at least once every month or two months. It is not important to tell you the name of the anti-virus software she was using, but just to inform you that you are not stuck with a anti-virus software if it is not working, then change to something else. Many things can cause this. It could be the what you have installed on your computer. What browser you use. What firewall you use. Or the lack of steady updates from the anti-virus software vendor. What ever the case you are not stuck to always use that anti-virus software. Change to something else. You can choose free, or pay. But be sure that you give the software a free run before you buy first. That includes firewalls. If your computer slows down, crashes, or is not able to catch the bad stuff then move on to another security software. Keep in mind also that certain security software does not play nice with other security software on certain Operating Systems all the time. Sometimes security software will have glitches, that will just about ruin a computers performance, or ruin the security on your computer. So if you have a new security software keep a eye out for glitches, rather if they are small or large. There very well could be something going on in the back ground that you are not aware of. Your computer should run better, or the same, not worse after installing security software. Run a test to see how the software is performing too. Firewall test: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and anti-virus test: http://www.virusportal.com/com/downloads/down_run.shtml This lady thought she had to use the software that was installed on her computer when she bought it. This simply is not true. The choice is yours, not the security vendor, nor the vendor you purchased your computer from. The choice is always yours to change to a different vendor for ALL of your software that you need, or want.
Solving their problems was easy, some of them had a hard time accepting the truth. Others, well let's just say they had a duh moment.
Every day Many of the website businesses are working hard to screw you over. Every day board meetings abound asking the all mighty important question of... "What will our users do if we expose their private data online?" As soon as they say "yes lets do it!" Advocates everywhere come out of the Internet abyss to cry foul after the trifle deed is carried out. The users do the normal thing. They rant, scream, cuss, rage, threaten, and troll the boards, comment sections, blogs, and email every Tom, Dick, and Sally they know about the situation, and what their readers need to do about it. Then as soon as the advocates think they have the users "on their side" so to speak. The users do a complete about face, and do nothing to stop the abuse of their data. They just clean up the mess, and carry on.Their show looked good, until it came down to doing the right thing of showing Internet business just who was boss. Maybe their rants looked good in text form on the many websites that have in the past picked up the topics on privacy discussion issues? Maybe they wanted to "look good". But when push came to shove, they did nothing. Just a few thousand or so maybe more or less took action. Then members took a rebound of even more users joining the social network. Membership is up. Which has grown from a little over 400 million to the 500 million mark. It was like they told the website... "There, there, everything is ok. I forgive you for exposing my personal life to the whole world." Even though the fix was not given by the website staff, but by third party advocates trying their best to turn a wrong, into a right. Helping the thousands, millions of social members to hide their private data from the masses. The fixes came in a rush in just a few hours after the breech. (I thank each and everyone one of you for providing the fix/tutorials.) But what does this say about the members? Well... They either don't give a damn, or they have piss for brains. Maybe both. Whatever the case, the social site is stronger than ever. It's like the breech of their data didn't faze them. Maybe they have gotten use to all of these breeches? There have been quite a few. Many have made it to their snail mail addressed directly to them. Laptops lost, or stolen, CDs misplaced, or stolen. Databases hacked. But this social network had none of this happen to them. They deliberately opened up their user profiles for the whole world to see. It could be as some suggested that they could not leave because they could not entice their family, friends, and business associates to follow them to another social website. What ever the case you better believe that the social network studied, dissected, examined, tore apart every conceivable outcome that their users could of done to fight back after they exposed their profiles. They knew they had their users in their pocket. They knew, or had ball park figures of what the damage would, or could be. They knew their social database consisted of a lot of loyal members, that would not leave because they could not get their friends to move also. I bet they talked for months before they pulled their stunt. They knew because users have not taken a stand against any website that breeched their privacy. There never has been a mass exit of users from any type of website online after a major breech of privacy. Not anything substantial enough to cause damage to the Internet business itself that caused the breech.Years, months, days from now if you're on the Internet and your privacy is breeched by an online website once again. You may get help. But again... You may not get any help. Because everyone knows that you can only cry wolf for so long. Even the advocates grow tired of you. They all think you don't care. "Big Deal!" "So what if my personal life is on the Internet." It is only years later that you realize that one breech cost you dearly. Because somewhere on the Internet is an archive of YOUR stupidity, YOUR drunken state, YOUR rant, in video, picture, text, or audio. The upcoming new boss, or even a local place of membership... wont stand idle and allow you to work for them, or be a member with them... because of your stupidity stunt that should of stayed private that they just happen to find on the Internet. So the next time someone pulls a stunt with your personal information. Maybe you need to think twice before ignoring it. Show them you ARE boss. Unless you do, there will be more board meetings asking that important question of "what will the users do if we expose their personal data?" And it may not be a posh social website this time that spreads your personal information all over the Internet. It will happen because websites watch websites for trends, and outcomes. They watch and they learn. Eventually they implement the same thing, or similar on their own websites. The question is "what have you learned? Have you learned anything? Or do you still have piss for brains, and don't care? Will you let the next one do as they please with your private data? Or will you take a stand, and fight back? It's up to you. You can make, or brake our privacy rights. Do nothing... Then you are really screwed. Take a stand, and the Internet learns you will no longer take their sorry poor excuses. Next time fight back by clicking on that un-subscribe button or link. I don't want to hear a peep out of you until you have. I am sick of the rants, screams, cussing, rages, threatening, and trolling of the boards.I know some of you will say they got what they deserved they never should of put their private info on the web in the first place. But let's be reasonable. Today's Internet is not the same as it was in the 90's even. Today it is all about "sociability".
The bottom line is they let themselves down, they let the IT community down as well. What a shame.

NEW YORK (AP) - Thanks to the election, socialism and capitalism are forever wed as Merriam-Webster's most looked-up words of 2012.
Traffic for the unlikely pair doubled this year from the year before as the health care debate heated up and discussion intensified over "American capitalism" versus "European socialism," said the editor at large, Peter Sokolowski.
The choice revealed Wednesday was "kind of a no-brainer," he said. The side-by-side interest among political candidates and around kitchen tables prompted the dictionary folk to settle on two words of the year rather than one for the first time since the accolade began in 2003.

Vice President Joe Biden, left, uses the word "malarkey" during a debate response to Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin on Oct. 11.
"They're words that sort of encapsulate the zeitgeist. They're words that are in the national conversation," said Sokolowski from company headquarters in Springfield, Mass. "The thing about an election year is it generates a huge amount of very specific interest."
Democracy, globalization, marriage and bigot - all touched by politics - made the Top 10, in no particular order. The latter two were driven in part by the fight for same-sex marriage acceptance.
Last year's word of the year was austerity. Before that, it was pragmatic. Other words in the leading dictionary maker's Top 10 for 2012 were also politically motivated.
Harken back to Oct. 11, when Vice President Joe Biden tangled with Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan in a televised debate focused on foreign policy - terror attacks, defense spending and war, to be specific.
"With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey," declared Biden during a particularly tough row with Ryan. The mention sent look-ups of malarkey soaring on Merriam-webster.com, Sokolowski said, adding: "Clearly a one-week wonder, but what a week!"
Actually, it was more like what a day. Look-ups of malarkey represented the largest spike of a single word on the website by percentage, at 3,000 percent, in a single 24-hour period this year. The company won't release the number of page views per word but said the site gets about 1.2 billion overall each year.
Malarkey, with the alternative spelling of "y" at the end, is of unknown origin, but Merriam-Webster surmises it's more Irish-American than Irish, tracing it to newspaper references as far back as 1929.
Beyond "nonsense," malarkey can mean "insincere or pretentious talk or writing designed to impress one and usually to distract attention from ulterior motives or actual conditions," noted Sokolowski.
"That's exactly what Joe Biden was saying. Very precise," especially in conversation with another Irish-American, Sokolow-ski said. "He chose a word that resonated with the public, I think in part because it really resonated with him. It made perfect sense for this man to use this word in this moment."
An interesting election-related phenom, to be sure, but malarkey is no dead Big Bird or "binders full of women" - two Romneyisms from the defeated candidate's televised matchups with Obama that evoked another of Merriam-Webster's Top 10 - "meme."
While malarkey's history is shaded, meme's roots are easily traced to evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, a Brit who coined the term for a unit of cultural inheritance, not unlike genes and DNA. The retired professor at the University of Oxford made up the word in 1976 for "The Selfish Gene," a book he published light years before the Internet and social media's capacity to take memes viral.
Sokolowski said traffic for the word meme more than doubled this year over 2011, with dramatic spikes pegged to political-related subjects that included Romney's Big Bird and binders remarks, social media shares of images pegged to Hillary Rodham Clinton texting and Obama's "horses and bayonets" debate rebuke of Romney in an exchange over the size of the Navy.
Dawkins, reached at home in Oxford, was tickled by the dictionary shoutout.
"I'm very pleased that it's one of the 10 words that got picked out," he said. "I'm delighted. I hope it may bring more people to understand something about evolution."
