If you were to take Africa and cover the surface of the moon with it, around 80% of the moon's surface area would be covered. With this much land, it's no wonder there is so much variety on offer at each of the African national parks and reserves. But such diversity can make it hard to select precisely which safari destination is right for you.
Sanctuary Retreats client Toby Wood recently travelled on a Tanzania Safari with us and here shares his experience. We asked him to pick out his top 'Wow Moments' and the most difficult task was to narrow them down to just four!
With mindfulness one of last year's biggest buzzwords, we can't think of any other activity that encourages you to stay so wholeheartedly in the moment better than travel. For all of us at Sanctuary Retreats, the best holidays are measured by the myriad of life-affirming memories that we bring home. Which is why our team of passionate travel experts scour the world, gathering the most unforgettable experiences that can elevate a great trip to an extraordinary one.
Sanctuary Kusini and its Southern Serengeti plains are famous for their high cheetah population. For years, our guests have shared unforgettable moments with these majestic hunters. However, this may not be the case for long. Cheetahs are now designated as vulnerable to extinction on the IUCN Red List. Due to habitat loss and human conflict, there are only very few cheetahs left in a free roaming, wild environment. This means that the Serengeti is one of their last remaining strongholds.
Here at Sanctuary Retreats we are no strangers to getting up-close-and-personal with the local wildlife around our camps and lodges. Our staff have had numerous encounters with vervet monkeys helping themselves to food from the buffet table, as well as the occasional baboon discovering where the sugar is kept and trying to make a run for it when he thinks nobody is watching.
The southern Serengeti and its great plains have faced a time of drought and hardship. The land is dry and water is extremely scarce. Great numbers of wildlife left, following the rain and rivers to the north. The remaining inhabitants have had to adapt. But things are about to change and between January and March when the calves are born there is nowhere in Africa so alive. Sanctuary Kusini Camp Manager, Isbjorn Viot, describes the Great Migration as it heads south towards their calving grounds in the south of the Serengeti...
Choosing where to spend your Christmas break can be a daunting experience; 'will the kids enjoy it?', 'will the food be up to scratch?', and 'will I feel homesick?' are common thoughts which might race through your head. To help you decide whether to book with us, we have put together a selection of reviews from guests who have stayed with us over the Christmas period.
Christmas. For some it will evoke visions of home comforts, bubbly beverages and pine needles covering the living room floor. For others, Christmas is a time to travel. Whether that means travelling to warmer or colder climes, Christmas is the perfect opportunity to take a much needed vacation.
When planning a luxury safari, South Africa will no doubt be one of the top destinations in your mind. However, choosing which park or reserve to spend your time in can be a daunting prospect. At Sanctuary Retreats, we think Madikwe Game Reserve is the greatest private game reserve South Africa has to offer.
Baridi Nzuri is a Swahili phrase that means the beautiful cold or beautiful winter and since the June Solstice winter and its magic has illuminated the southern Serengeti. Water is very scarce. Cold wind blows the dried golden grass and the pastel colours of the sky give light to majestic days.
The Masai Mara and Serengeti are the most famous national parks in Africa, and are best known for the annual great migration and are popular destinations for luxury safaris. The key wildlife in this 1,200-mile adventure are the wildebeest, about 1.5 million of them joined by 200,000 or so zebras. For them, it's a never ending journey and following the rains is a matter of life and death.
As part of Africa-wide efforts to protect the continent's dwindling rhino population, Sanctuary Retreats is participating in a significant relocation project to transport black and white rhino to the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana.

African safaris are usually top of most people's bucket list when it comes to wildlife viewing and it's no wonder why when you consider the richness of this type of travel experience. However, people often struggle when deciding the timing and destination of their safari, as there are many exciting wildlife experiences to be had at different times of the year. This article takes a look at one of the best game viewing seasons – June to October – and highlights what is on offer at the key locations during this period.
Saadani National Park is one of the only remaining protected coastal areas in Africa. The park covers 1100 square kilometres and is the only wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania which borders the sea. This is a recent update from Sean Matthewson, the General Manager at Sanctuary Saadani River Lodge.
We are pleased to say we have resumed boating activities at Sanctuary Baines' Camp again – the water has risen enough to offer this activity from the camp. Generally mokoros (locally made dugout canoes) are available from March to October and motorised boating from March to September.
Dominic joined Sanctuary Retreats in May 2000 where he proved his capability in many different areas, beginning to work for Sanctuary Kusini Camp as a waiter and then as trainee guide. He moved to Sanctuary Swala camp as assistant guide in 2004. Dominic attended guide training courses and this resulted in him achieving the status as a senior guide.
'Askari' is the Swahili word for guard. Who are the guardians of Sanctuary Kusini? This is an insight into the daily life of the askaris as they patrol the camp for wildlife throughout the night. Meet the Serengeti which does not sleep.

All the stimulant amphetamine-group medications for ADHD all have the side effect of appetite loss and anorexia possibly. These include concerta, which is just extended release ritalin, ritalin, adderall, adderall xr, and vyvanse. There are 2 alternatives out now. the oldest one is non-stimulant Strattera and the other, i forget the brand name but it's extended release guanfacine--just out new. I can give you this information by personal experience. hope it gives you some ideas. strattera is still the most widely used non-stimulant adhd treatment med.
Intuniv is the newest adhd treatment med out there. i finally remembered the name (extended release guanfacine is the generic)

text: Photo Gallery Pictures: NASA Lands on Underwater "Asteroid" At an underwater laboratory in the Florida Keys, the NEEMO 15 mission will test ways humans might one day visit asteroids. PUBLISHED October 21, 2011 0 1 / 6 "Asteroid" Walker Today a NASA crew is landing on an "asteroid"—about 60 feet (18 meters) under the sea.In reality, members of the space agency's NEEMO 15 mission will test ways humans might one day visit asteroids by spending 13 days at an underwater laboratory in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.Divers—including the one above using an anchored tether—have been preparing for the mission for months at the Aquarius Reef Base, a NOAA-owned site 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) off Key Largo (map).Since 2001 crews with NEEMO (for NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) have completed 14 missions at Aquarius, mostly training astronauts for work on space shuttles and the International Space Station. The mission starting today is only the second that was primarily designed to test new equipment and operational concepts for deeper space exploration.Specifically, NEEMO 15 aims to help astronauts figure out how to move around on and collect samples from near-Earth asteroids, many of which are relatively small compared with the moon or Mars and so would have almost zero gravity.The project doesn't aim to test the actual anchors asteroid-walkers might use, since that technology is still in early stages of development. Instead, NEEMO 15 will evaluate different anchoring setups and how well people interact with them.The "sea floor itself is being used in most cases to represent the surface of an asteroid," Steve Chappell, the deputy mission manager for NEEMO 15, said via email. In some places, fiberglass "rock walls" stand in for harder surfaces.—Victoria Jaggard Photograph courtesy NASA Anchors Aweigh An illustration shows an astronaut moving around the surface of an asteroid on a grid of anchored tethers, a concept to be tested during NASA's NEEMO 15 underwater mission, which began Thursday.During the mission, the Aquarius undersea lab "will serve as a representation of the Deep Space Habitat [DSH] that would carry the crew over the long journey to and from the asteroid," Chappell said."Another vehicle, the multimission Space Exploration Vehicle [SEV], will accompany the DSH on the journey to the asteroid and provide an exploration platform that will get in close to the asteroid and assist crew members" during spacewalks.In Florida, deep-water submersibles will stand in for the SEVs, and the NEEMO 15 crew will test whether their work is more efficient with different numbers of these vehicles. Mission members will also determine whether they work better in pairs or on solo spacewalks.(Related: "NASA Asteroid Mission Set for 2016.") Illustration courtesy NASA Walk This Way NEEMO 15 crew member Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency installs so-called translation lines at the underwater testing ground during training on October 12. The lines will be anchored to the seafloor and the rock walls to help simulate what it would be like to navigate the surface of an asteroid.During the official mission, Hansen and NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps will be the capsule communicators, aka CAPCOM, the main points of contact between the underwater crew and mission control on the surface.The crew also includes mission leader Shannon Walker of NASA, astronauts Takuya Onishi of Japan and David Saint-Jacques of Canada, scientist Steven Squyres of Cornell University, and professional aquanauts James Talacek and Nate Bender of the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. In addition, NASA astronauts Stan Love, Richard Arnold, and Mike Gernhardt will pilot the submersibles.During the first half of the mission, the underwater crew will be able to communicate with mission control in real time, Chappell said. But for the second half, mission managers will create a 50-second, one-way communications delay, to simulate the average time delay astronauts might face when visiting target asteroids.(Related: "Astronauts Could Ride Asteroids to Mars, Study Says.") Photograph courtesy NASA Space-Rock Rendezvous Astronauts perform a spacewalk from an SEV in an illustration of an asteroid-exploration mission.The NEEMO 15 crew will use Superlite 17 commercial dive systems, with helmets that have umbilical cords attached to the Aquarius habitat or the makeshift SEV. The cords provide air as well as video feeds from the helmet cameras and two-way audio communication.Each "spacewalking" crew member will "also wear a thruster device to simulate the use of a jet pack," Chappell said. (Related: "'Jet Man' to Cross English Channel Like a Human Rocket.") Illustration courtesy NASA "Alien" Visitors Accompanied by NEEMO 15 mission members David Saint-Jacques, Shannon Walker, and Takuya Onishi, NASA researcher Margarita Marinova (bottom left) enjoys a swim with denizens of the reef during training near the Aquarius base on October 11.Members of the NEEMO 15 crew will leave the Aquarius lab in teams of two for about three hours each day to conduct simulated spacewalks, Chappell said.Inside the Aquarius habitat, the rest of the crew will be performing behavioral-health and performance experiments designed to test the effects of the extreme environment and the communications delay on the team's performance.(Related: "Why Did 400 People Volunteer for a One-Way Trip to Mars?") Photograph courtesy NASA Dive Training Engineering divers prepare to visit NASA's underwater "asteroid" during field tests held in May. Test subjects from the crew, utility divers, and support divers spent a week in the spring evaluating equipment and practicing maneuvers to get ready for the October mission.Since the diving experience doesn't exactly replicate the near zero gravity of an asteroid, "the divers will wear combinations of weight and foam to simulate as close to a well-balanced, neutrally buoyant configuration as possible," Chappell said."The actual weight each crew member carries will vary based on what achieves neutral buoyancy for them, but will generally be in the 2- to 5-pound [0.9- to 2.2-kilogram] range, in addition to all their dive gear and other EVA equipment."(See "NASA to Visit Asteroid Predicted to Hit Earth?")

The BCBGMAXAZRIA for MAGNUM Belgian Chocolate Wrap
July always feels like a celebratory time. From the start, we kick off with July 4th, and tend to have that warm, peak-of-summer feeling throughout the month. But, did you know, it's also National Ice Cream Month?! Now that's something we can get on board with. And it seems as if BCBGMAXAZRIA and MAGNUM Ice Cream had that same thought.
In honor of this delicious and festive month, BCBGMAXAZRIA and MAGNUM Ice Cream have partnered to create the world's most pleasurable fashion accessory. The BCBGMAXAZRIA for MAGNUM Belgian Chocolate Wrap offers women a new way to indulge in their love of chocolate and fashion. The wrap's decadent aroma, rich colors, and smooth textures are inspired by the MAGNUM ice cream bar—made with Belgian chocolate—to let women experience the "MAGNUM effect."
Two of our style influencers – and chocolate lovers – got to enjoy this one-of-a-kind wrap, available as a limited edition "gift with purchase" in select BCBGMAXAZRIA stores nationwide while supplies last. Michelle, from Take Aim loved the story this unique collaboration has to tell. And Camilla, of Glamgerous (and an admitted "chocolate addict") experienced the same pleasure she gets from biting into her favorite MAGNUM ice cream bar. That sweet taste and smile you get with that first bite of ice cream are all wrapped up into one delectable fashion accessory that you can wear all day long!
This innovative and chic statement piece is the perfect combination of our two loves—style and food. Head to your BCBGMAXAZRIA store to scoop one up… and grab a MAGNUM bar while you're at it! This is one trend we think is here to stay.
M Loves M Gets … Dooney & Bourke
While fall is my favorite season, there is one thing that takes a little bit of adjustment—the new color palette. While pastels and brights can still work for fall and winter, for the most part, neutrals and darks are the more acceptable shades. Because of this, when shopping, brown becomes my go-to color when I want to make sure I can wear an item no matter the season. And this Dooney & Bourke Croco Fino Small Satchel is one of those "wear any season bags." Thank goodness! Dooney & Bourke let me borrow this lovely bag to style for the fall and winter seasons, and I was so excited to put it to the test. I think the texture of the croc-embossed leather is perfect for any season; it adds a depth and richness that you might not get with a smooth leather bag. Brown and green is one of my favorite fall combos, so I paired the bag with this pleated floral dress—and just like brown works for any season, so do florals. The Croco Fino also makes a great gift for the fashionista on your list.

Fashion Indie Gives … Ebel Onde
I often think back to when I got my first real watch—otherwise known as the day I crossed the line from shopper of temporary timepieces to card-carrying member of the horologist club. It was a big moment in my life because of how distinctly different I felt knowing that my wrist was now adorned with some serious candy; something that would stay with me for years and, possibly, my lifetime. It was a commitment that would undoubtedly light up my wrist through a few of my major milestones.
Lately, I've been on the search for an addition to my collection. I have a few pieces from the brands you'd expect, but I also wanted something special to add to the family. And this Ebel Onde is one timekeeper that fully matches my style. It's chic and sensuous, defined by its flowing lines and curves.
The watch's solid, stainless steel bracelet complements the silver-toned face and 30-mm watch case, which shimmers with diamonds around its 18-karat rose gold bezel and crown. (As a general rule, I only invest in watches with diamonds and will never spend more than a few hundred dollars on watches without diamonds or some other precious stones. It seems pretentious, but I just don't see the point of investing good money in a watch that doesn't fall under the category of fine jewelry. When you're looking for an investment watch, it's important to make sure there's more than just a name to your piece but actual worth in the watch itself.)
And it goes without saying that if I was looking for the perfect watch for a loved one, the Ebel Onde hits all the right marks there, too. The watch is a true statement piece, one that promises to stand both the test of time and the test of love.

Viva Luxury Gives … Charlotte Olympia
For me, nothing compares to the look of pure joy, excitement, and pleasure on the faces of loved ones when I succeed in finding the perfect gifts for them. Gift giving is extremely important to me, and I think the right gift is always unique, thoughtful, and reflects the personality of both the giver and the recipient. Since my obsession with footwear is pretty well documented, I suppose it's not really surprising that shoes are my favorite gift of choice. For a serious shoe-addict such as myself, the Neiman Marcus shoe boutique is the perfect destination for gift shopping. It was on one of my recent visits to Neiman Marcus that I discovered Charlotte Olympia's velvet Kitty slippers—this year's ultimate gift for the footwear obsessed. Handcrafted in Italy from fine velvet, the whimsical Charlotte Olympia smoking slippers feature a bold gold heel and a gold-stitched cat's face—one of the brand's signatures, drawing inspiration from the glamour of the 1940s. A fabulous alternative to high heels, this playful and fun slipper is a great day-to-evening style and one of the hottest trends for fall. So, if you are looking for a stylish gift for a fashionista in your life, look no further because the Kitty slippers are absolutely purrr-fect!

not only the music loop, but the story was jumping
Yoink, you've got to be a little serieus in your reviews. Although this one isnt that bad, it certainly doesnt deserve a 10. The same movie alone dropped it atleast two points. But the scenes are also pretty boring and jumping from the one to another. They all walk pretty funny, as in you make him walk one step and make it loop the entire time for like 12 times or so to make it fill up the movie. Bad idea. It makes the movie seem long and repetitive. I only made it to the zombie part that dracula summoned because of the good reviews, but i closed it before they started fighting anyway.
The graphics were pretty good yeah, it was well drawn. The battles were pretty much one sided, its like fighting a puppet. The zombies and the vampires before dracula were pushovers.
So conclusion:
-graphics were pretty good, but can still be improved
-scenes werent build up very smooth, one moment youve killed a vampire, another you suddenly find yourself in another chamber
-the guy walks funny, but thats a minor problem
-its ok to use the same music, if its something that lasts 2 mins or so, not a 3 sec sound that you loop over and over and over
-The story is sometimes pretty unclear, as when the guy saw a baby in the woman's womb, he suddenly killed the lady. That might just be me, but i dont really understand what was going on. Was the lady carrying a vampire's baby?
-Lastly, dialogues arent very impressive. Enemy says a line, you go slay him. Another enemy says a line, you slay him too. Pretty boring.
You have potential, but this movie doesnt. I'm still gonna give you a 6 based on all the goods out there. Movie world is based on competing with others. Movies like brackenwood and all that stuff you find at the top at flashportal makes me bring down your score. But comparing to some crap other people deliver and some movies with graphics and storylines that are so poor, i couldve made them myself; well, it makes me rather like this one. I hope im not being to negative here, but improvements are needed to compete with the higherups :D (btw, if you look at my other reviews, a 6 is pretty good :D) Good luck in the future!
the music loop was just to much I nearly closed it since it was just the same thing over and over for like 2 long minutes. But the staff was a GOD DAMM GRENADE LAUNCHER HOLY SHIT.
very interesting
Graphics were drawn and animated very well. The same song thrhoughout the movie kind of hurt this movie... it was very repetitious. But other than that I really liked the style of the characters and how that one girl flashed her boobs. nice job!

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reminding citizens to notify authorities if they see something suspicious at a movie theater or entertainment venue. The department has also set guidelines for security - but officials won't release details.
The Wall Street Journal reports that among the security recommendations are that theater operators make sure "security and front of house personnel have been trained for first aid." The Wall Street Journal reviewed the guidelines.
A Homeland Security spokesperson says DHS will continue to work closely with state, local and private sector partners "to ensure that all necessary security precautions are being taken."
Friday's shooting in Aurora, Colo. left 12 people dead and 58 wounded. Authorities detained 24-year-old James Holmes and accused him of going on the shooting rampage.
At local movie theaters, police presence has increased and some are checking bags at the door. For safety, movie theater giant AMC is banning patrons from wearing costumes.
Some feel the stepped up security is unnecessary.
"I don't think they should. It's a free country," says Chris Beauchemin of Ashburn. "That's a little bit ridiculous."

Second test phase of Logistics ECSS commences; team remedies response-time issues

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
1/19/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Members of the Hanscom logistics community transitioned into the second phase of pilot testing -- Pilot B -- Dec. 20 when they expanded their use of the Expeditionary Combat Support System to information technology and supply equipment management, including communications security and small arms accountability.
The progression of the pilot program also adds 18 users to the 54 original at Hanscom and goes beyond Pilot A's focus of vehicle maintenance. The release of Pilot B means the Air Force is moving closer toward more efficiently managing and accounting for its logistics activities with the ECSS software program. The goal of the software migration is to increase equipment availability and reduce the operation and support costs of the logistics mission.
"Just as Release 1 Pilot A Go-Live was a groundbreaking event, today represents another significant day for ECSS," said Grover Dunn, the Air Force director of transformation, in an e-mail on Dec. 20 to ECSS professionals across the Air Force after Pilot B went live. "It marks the next big step in the long journey to deliver on the full promise of ECSS, to transform how we manage global logistics and support our Warfighters more effectively than ever before."
Logistics professionals working on the ECSS pilot at Air Force bases all over the country make up the Enterprise Support Organizations. They had a conference call with the fielding location team here at Hanscom Jan. 6 to discuss Pilot B's early results.
Shortly after the team went live with Pilot B, they made a decision that the system was working well enough to stay live and begin production support, meaning they do everything they can to sustain the pilot, working out each and every bug and kink until the system works as it is intended to, said Greg Laing, Hanscom's ECSS Change Agent coordinator.
"Our main concern [with the ECSS] at Hanscom now is the system [network] response time," he said.
Furthermore, the team wants to pay special attention to the additional interim manual processes that are required until the third pilot -- C -- goes live. Finally, he said, the team here wants to ensure they maintain full compliance with regulations and policy as the transformation unfolds.
"This is a good opportunity to optimize the network and ensure the ECSS solution is as efficient and effective as possible for our end-users and logistics customers," Mr. Laing said.
Logistics agencies across the Air Force anticipate manufacturing, maintenance, financial and distribution information will all be united in this one Oracle data management enterprise platform once full implementation is complete. The current systems are operated on a base-level, but with the transformation, said Mr. Laing, tracking and searching historical and current logistics information across the Air Force will become much more efficient.
"I'd say that these are exciting and challenging times for the LRS [Logistics Readiness Squadron] and SC [Communication and Information] end-users," said Mr. Laing. "There are always issues that need to be worked out as with any pilot program, but it's good to keep in mind that our efforts will help make future fielding go smoother."

Pliers are great for tightening nuts, but I wouldn't use them to pluck out a splinter.
Wrong tool, is what I thought when I read that Seattle is using police officers to "provide a guiding hand and an open ear" for students at five middle schools.
But whether officers are the right instrument depends on how the job is defined.
The officers are part of the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, which is part of Mayor Greg Nickels' response to the shootings that ended the lives of five teenagers last year.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
The mayor's initiative is focused on about 800 middle- school students who are at the highest risk for committing violent acts or being the next victim.
It is a crisis plan, and the officers are its most visible and symbolic component.
I was startled to think the schools were bringing in cops as counselors, but Pegi McEvoy, the district's safety and security manager, says the officers won't be counselors, they'll do crisis management, verbal de-escalation, some motivational talking and a little enforcement.
I wish, though, we'd stop waiting for crises.
What have we not been doing in the years leading up to middle school that would leave so many of our children vulnerable to youth violence?
Well, we know the answers to that question. One is supporting parents who need help and guidance.
That can't be said often enough, because we seem to have trouble hearing it.
"Let's empower parents to do their jobs," Kevin Haggerty told me. I called Haggerty because he has done a lot of research on improving the behavior of adolescents.
Haggerty is a professor in the school of social work at the University of Washington, and assistant director of the Social Development Research Group.
He said we especially need to help "low-income parents who are struggling with difficult neighborhood issues and have a difficult time knowing what to do."
He said they are good people wanting to do good things, who find themselves more often blamed than helped.
Haggerty was part of a research project between 2000 and 2005 that showed a little help can make a big difference.
Researchers recruited 331 Seattle middle-school students and their parents.
About half were white and half black. Some got a 10-week family training program that included an instructional video, a family workbook and a checklist. Among those, some were contacted by phone every week to assess their progress and encourage them to keep going, others had regular group meetings with other families. A control group received no training.
Researchers compared the groups in 10th grade and found violence was cut in half for African-American kids whose families got help. Participation didn't affect the white kids.
It's easy to see why the outcomes were so different if you look at the families recruited into the study.
Income for the African-American families was about a third the income of the white families. Few of the African-American parents had completed college. Most of the white parents had college degrees. A majority of the African Americans and about a quarter of the white Americans were single parents.
All of those factors matter.
We know which circumstances protect children against going astray and which put them at greater risk.
Does a kid feel safe at home, optimistic about the future, connected to family, school and community life? Do his parents communicate well and model responsible behavior? What are the parent's expectations? What's the family culture?
Helping kids get more of the good stuff and shielding them from the bad improves their behavior.
Not only that, other studies have shown it improves their academic performance, too.
The earlier the intervention, the greater the rewards.
The mayor's plan takes the latest research into account and includes a range of responses beyond adding the four officers, but it is focused on kids who've already triggered an alarm.
It makes sense to put out the fires of a crisis. It makes even more sense to move the kindling away from the flames before it ignites.
The officers may be right for the job they've been given, but we rely on the justice system to solve too many problems that could be avoided if we acted sooner with different tools.

New London - Nancy Paetzell worked her whole life and thought she would be able to live off Social Security in her retirement years.
But in tears Tuesday afternoon, she told U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., that she is barely surviving on her $1,230 monthly Social Security check. She pays $825 in rent and tries to save $50 a week. But by month's end, she has cleaned out her savings account to pay bills. She is eligible for $15 a month in food stamps and receives help with heating costs through the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
"When I was growing up, you were told you'd have Social Security to take care of you," said the 77-year-old Norwich resident, who is receiving on-the-job training at Thames Valley Council for Community Action in the hopes of landing an office job to make ends meet. "How come I'm so poor? I'm poorer than I've every been in my life. I can't pay my bills. I never wanted to be so poor."
Paetzell was one of four people directly affected by the automatic federal spending cuts known as sequestration who told their stories to Murphy during a visit to the TVCCA office.
She told Murphy that cuts made in Washington are felt the hardest by the poor and the working poor.
"My parents told me stories of what they had to do to survive during the Depression," she said. "It's nice to use the word recession, but I think this is similar to the Great Depression."
Murphy was in town gathering information on the affects on Connecticut residents of cuts made in Washington. He said he will bring the stories of struggling residents back to the Capitol, where members of the House and Senate will begin reviewing the budget.
Murphy said he will lobby to stop more cuts, especially to LIHEAP, which was cut by 5 percent last year and will be cut by 5 percent in each of the next 9 years. The $5 billion program will be reduced to about $2.5 billion.
Two years ago, Connecticut received $125 million in energy assistance. In 10 years, the amount will be about $76 million, Murphy said.
"It's not enough," he said. "Americans won't allow people to freeze to death in their own homes."
As the funding goes down, the need for heating assistance is going up, according to TVCCA. Two years ago, the local TVCCA, which serves communities in southeastern Connecticut, had 8,500 applications for energy assistance. Last year, the number was 9,500.
Lee Carenza, who is in charge of the program for TVCCA, said he expects to get more than 10,000 applications this year. The program awards grants of up to $585 to help pay for heating bills for income-eligible families. Two years ago, the highest grant was $900, he said.
Deborah Monahan, executive director of TVCCA, said people who are working full time come into the office in tears looking for help and saying they have nowhere else to go.
Wayne Lee, a retired Minneapolis police officer who works for the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Sound Community Services, told Murphy he needs the energy assistance. He is recovering from a stroke, is still paying off student loans from 20 years ago and sleeps in a sleeping bag in the winter because it's warmer. His grant for energy assistance has been cut from $700 to $300.
Sue Hostnik, who works full-time for United Community & Family Services, said she is living paycheck to paycheck raising her three children, ages 8, 15 and 16. She said she counts on the energy grant, which dropped from $700 to $300, to pay her winter heating bills.
"My heat won't get shut off, but in May, I have to pay what I owe," she said. "I tell the kids, 'Get out the sweatshirts and the extra blankets.'"
Murphy said his counterparts in Washington "need to understand that even working full time, people can't pay their bills in Connecticut."
"We will win this fight eventually," Murphy assured the group.

Shoes. Even the word sounds good. Buying shoes touches something deep in our collective hearts. For some, shoe shopping is all about the allure of the Christian Louboutin high heel, for others the practicality of ballerina flats or a Doc Marten boot. Whatever your shoe preferences are, we all feel better once we have treated ourselves to a new pair of shoes.
Picture the scene. You are walking along the street when a gorgeous pair of shoes catches your eye. You enter the shop, and the music playing is designed to make you want to strut your stuff. You try on the shoes, turning your foot delicately in front of the mirror to admire all angles. They are perfection. Never has footwear so fully summed up your personality. You buy them and because this is a special shoe fantasy, they are on sale. Perfection.
It can sometimes take a while to hunt down the right pair of shoes. Shops are flooded with high heels, ballerina shoes, desert boots, sneakers, pumps, making choosing the perfect pair difficult. We say there is always the option of buying more than one pair.
While often associated with women, a love of shoes is a manly pursuit as well. Handmade leather brogues have been on a man's fashion wish-list for several decades, while both men and women appreciate the mixture of comfort and style found in a high-end running shoe. Men appreciate that their sense of fashion tells people a lot about them, and will consciously choose a pair of shoes that display their personality depending on the situation.
The right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. Imagine if a pop diva such as Beyoncé sashayed on stage in a glitzy mini-dress and clumpy shoes. Or Usain Bolt tried to sprint the 100 metres in a pair of stilettos? Ok, so that last example is just plain dangerous, but without the right shoes, even the best outfit can look horribly wrong. Shoes are so important to getting your look right that often all the other accessories are chosen to match the shoes.
Shoes can build confidence, making you literally 'walk taller'. They can give you the impetus to run a marathon or conquer a job interview, seduce a crush or close a business deal. Whether smart or casual, there is a great variety of shoes for every occasion, and nearly everyone owns several pairs in differing styles. A beautiful pair of shoes is a gift to yourself wherever and whenever, at any age. With fabulous new designs being created all the time, our love affair with shoes isn't likely to end anytime soon.

Windows Server 2008 RC0 is under a license that excludes it from use in a productive (i.e. real-world) environment, since it is still an unfinished product. However, Microsoft understands that is important that servers, especially web servers, be tested under hard, real-world conditions. For this reason, the software giant offers a special "Go Live" license, which allows the IIS 7 to be installed on and used together with Windows Server 2008 RC0 on production systems.
While there is no usage fee and the software is also free of charge, the license is limited to the duration of the beta test. Once the final version hits the stores, users can upgrade to a real license.
If you're wary of using non-final software on your own production servers, there is another option as well. Several professional web hosting companies have created offers specifically tailored to the situation during the beta phase. Most of these offers are either free of charge of very inexpensive.

Robin Thicke Nabbed Two Songs From Marvin Gaye, Says Suit; Song That Got Miley Cyrus Twerking at the VMAs 2013 Performance Generates More Controversy; Kpop Artist IU Also in Copyright Scandal
EMI said the Gaye family guilty of "ruining an incredible song," "killing the goose that laid the golden egg" and being responsible for "Blurred Lines" not receiving an MTV Video Music Award.
Marvin Gaye's family accused EMI and Williams and Thicke reps of "the planting of a knowingly false story in the press that the Gaye Family supposedly turned down a "six figure settlement" (no such offer was made) in order to make them appear unreasonable."
Thicke's Lawyer, Howard King, told The Hollywood Reporter,"Plaintiffs anticipated a baseless counterclaim for copyright infringement when they filed their original complaint for declaratory relief, so no surprise there. What is surprising in their press-release-disguised-as-a-complaint (much of which will eventually be stricken by the court) is their acknowledgment that the Gaye family has no standing to bring a copyright claim. For this, they blame EMI, the administrator and registered copyright owner of the Marvin Gaye songs. Obviously, EMI, which is in the business of collecting substantial sums for actual infringements, regardless of the publishing affiliations of the infringers, consulted their own expert musicologists who gave the same opinion our 3 musicologists gave: The genres of the songs are the same, the notes are different. So whether or not plaintiffs are fans of Marvin Gaye is irrelevant; no infringement occurred here."

[UPDATE] 11-10 12:50pm --
Funeral arrangements for Joe Adams are being prepared by the family, but have not been finalized at this time. The funeral will be in Pelham, Georgia.
The Georgia State Patrol reports a fatal crash at Georgia Highway 37 and Highway 93 between Moultrie and Camillia.
A black International truck ran a stop sign and hit a white Chevy Malibu. The truck was traveling south on Hwy 93, and the car was traveling west on 37. The driver of the car was killed instantly. The car broke into three pieces when hit by the truck and the pieces ended up in a nearby ditch. The crash happened around 4pm on November 9.
The driver of the car was Joe Adams, 50, from Pelham, Georgia.
The driver of the truck was Kerry Michael Mullins, 53. Mullins is being held in the Mitchell County Jail at this time. Mullins is charged with Second Degree Vehicular Homicide and Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign.
GSP is still waiting on blood work, but alcohol is not suspected. The truck driver said that the stop sign came up quickly and he was unfamiliar with the area. GSP notes that there are "rumble strips" and stop sign warning signs before the intersection.
GSP responded to the crash with assistance from the Mitchell County Sheriff's Department. Trooper Jones with GSP is working on the case.
