Finally A Way To Conquer My Stubborn HairI love this curling iron. I have very stubborn curl resistant hair and so do my twin daughters. I brought them to the hair dresser to get their hair done for a school play. I saw the hairdress making these awesome curls in my daughters hair & very quickly. I got the name of the curling iron (hot tools), went right home and ordered one on the Internet. It works great. We need the highest setting. I would recommend to anyone since it has a wide temperature range. Very great product. I would definitely buy hot tools products in the future.Apr 8, 2005Renee / NJ

The BMW dealer that services my 540i is telling me that plastic guide that protects an engine chain (timing chain?) is coming apart and if not replaced could damage the engine. They are estimating repair costs exceeding $10,000, which is probably not much less than the resale value of the car itself. Can this be right?

The drivers door electric window works fine but none of the other windows work at all from any of the door switches including the main one on the drivers door. The car has been stood for about a month and I was wondering if water has got under the bonnet and damaged something. I have checked all the fuses and they seem ok. I have never had a problem with the windows before.

Since 2000, I have actively opposed and will continue to oppose constructing the museum. It would be a colossal mistake. Federal law states that the Coast Guard may create a museum in the vicinity of the Coast Guard Academy, but does neither declare that such facility is mandatory nor in the national interest.
Additionally, I oppose the Museum because:
• There are five existing and active Coast Guard museums around the country, including at the Academy, with thousands of artifacts;
• The Academy's Facility Master Plan for its museum (updated in 2010) recommends relocation to Fort Trumbull;
• The prior site selection committee appointed by the then commandant in 2005 strongly recommended Fort Trumbull;
• In 2006, the former Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection strongly urged siting the facility at the Fort to compliment the state park;
• The proposed building has the wrong orientation to take advantage of solar energy;
• The proposed pedestrian overpass is not a recommended project in the Regional Transportation Plan;
• The building is not a water dependent use on a site suitable for such development, as required under the Coastal Management Act ("CMA");
• Physical museums are an anachronism in the 21st Century; and
• It would be a gross waste of energy considering the alternative of a virtual museum using three-dimensional holographic images of all artifacts.
Although the proponents continually allege that the Coast Guard is the only branch of the services without a museum, this is not the case. The Coast Guard Museum Northwest in Seattle, Wash. is dedicated to preserving the service's heritage in the Northwest. It has thousands of artifacts; a library of over 3,000 books and periodicals; over 2,500 historical documents; clippings and vessel plans; over 15,000 photographs; numerous detailed ship models; portions of historic ships; uniforms; lenses from lighthouses and buoys; and the Coast Guard flag carried on the first Space Shuttle flight.
Further, there is the Old Coast Guard Station Museum in Virginia Beach honoring and preserving the history of Virginia's maritime heritage, coastal communities, the U.S. Lifesaving Service, and services along the Atlantic coast. In 2000, the Cape Blanco Heritage Society opened the Port Orford Lifeboat Station in Oregon as a museum and interpretive center.
Also, there is the former Coast Guard Life Saving Station, now restored as the Sleeping Bear Point Coast Guard Station Maritime Museum in Glen Haven, Mich. The exhibits focus on the U.S. Life-Saving Service and Great Lakes shipping history. In the summer, demonstrations are given of rescue drills and equipment used to fire a rescue line from shore. Finally, there is the Military Sea Services Museum, Sebring, Fla., containing artifacts and exhibits. And, don't forget the Coast Guard Alaska series on the Weather Channel.
With 137 million objects, the Smithsonian Institution has launched a new 3-D scanned hologram and printing initiative to make its collection accessible to schools, researchers and the public worldwide. Physical museums are obsolete. The Coast Guard could provide viewing of all artifacts over the Internet.
Under Coastal Management rules, the city must give the highest priority and preference to water-dependent uses requiring water access. The museum does not qualify as water dependent because it does not require such access. Locating the sailing ship Eagle at City Pier would not make the museum water dependent - it must qualify alone.
With five existing museums, the latest digital technology available for scanning and displaying artifacts on the worldwide web, the lack of water dependency, the incorrect orientation of the building for solar access, the problematical future of funding for operations, and a modernistic structure defiling the historic landscape, the preferred alternative is a virtual Internet museum.
However, if a museum is to be built, it should be in Fort Trumbull.

The previous day I ran some hardware tests, only to find that my hard drive was failing and needed replacements. So I called my computer manufacturer to receive a fresh hard drive under warranty.
I'm not very good with computers though, and I don't know how to swap all my files from the bad hard drive to the good hard drive WITHOUT the use of an external hard drive.
Is there anyway for me to port contents from an old hard drive to the new hard drive without the use of other hardware?
Also, I can't use my CD Drive, because in a fit of rage, I snapped the flimsy plastic on the thing, and completely disconnected it from my computer

Classic Encounters Revisited: The Inn is the freshman release from K-Squared Games, so I thought it would be appropriate for my first review. The product contains four files in total - three maps and the pdf of the book itself. The book weighs in at 81.3 MB, a significant decrease from its original 145.5, something my GoodReader PDF app noticeably appreciates. It is still lacking a printer-friendly version, but that is not as large a deal to me as to some others (I very rarely print materials other than character sheets).
The maps are a nice touch. Fairly generic, appearing to have been put together in one of the numerous virtual tabletops now around, they serve their purpose well, though I wish they'd have been done just a little smaller or split apart so I could print them at full scale on 8.5 x 11 paper (the smallest of the maps, which only covers the cellar, is 10x13). In my experience, printing across multiple full sheets doesn't always line up well (though that may be a printer issue).
The PDF itself totals out at 30 pages, including two pages for covers, three pages for the maps (unsure why, since the maps are included as separate .jpgs, and the file is already quite large), one page for the OGL, plus the interior cover and table of contents, leaving 22 pages of content. It is bookmarked fairly extensively for a small PDF, which I like, especially the separate bookmarks for each sidebar. It is laid out in a standard two column format, with a plain white background, though the sidebars are pieces of parchment. This makes it very easy to read, even without my glasses (I sometimes have issues with even the mildest background colors, as I start to blur the colors together without my glasses, even though I am nearsighted).
The Barking Pumpkin, as the inn is called, is an interesting place, with NPCs just detailed enough to be good characters for any campaign. However, enough details are left inexplicit for them to be dropped into just about any campaign world (who doesn't have at least one town where an inn run by a smuggler and his wife of similarly questionable morals would fit right in). The descriptions of the various parts of the inn are quite flavorful, with explanations on the how and why from the innkeeper's perspective.
As the product description implies, the running an inn portion of the book is a bare bones approach. It is merely designed for a quick and easy method of allowing your PCs to earn a little something from an establishment they decide to own. If you are looking for an extensive breakdown of maintenance, restocking, and staff fees (and I have played in campaigns where that may have been relevant), this is not what you are looking for. If you want a simple way of handling things that gives the PCs some influence on thier establishment while allowing them to adventure, this should work very nicely.
The games and gambling section is probably my favorite part of the book. While it contains one of only two duplication errors I found (a disclaimer sidebar regarding gambling and its real life risks that was also on the Introduction page), I have a feeling this one was intentional. This chapter presents a number of historical dice and card games to be played within an inn, including explanations as to how they are played. There is also a sidebar for how to resolve these games with skill checks, along with an additional sidebar regarding cheating. All said, a fun and informative little chapter (and the inclusion of Hare in the Hutch - medieval Beer Pong - highly amused me).
The NPCs chapter isn't bad, but it didn't floor me either. The stat blocks are clean and appear to be accurate, though I still have not done the math for the skills. A somewhat interesting group, this LE family is self-serving, and though certainly not outright cruel, they are not the type to care they're breaking a few laws.
There are also stat blocks for numerous minor NPCs that I honestly found more useful. Quick stat blocks for the town drunkard or a barmaid always have the potential to be more than a little handy.
The plot hooks chapter is nicely separated by the DC to hear the rumors associated, making it easy for a GM to let the players roll a check and immediately find the results. Nothing has a level attachment, allowing a GM to use any plot hooks without feeling the need to hide the good ones because the party level isn't high enough. It does contain the only typo I found after the file was cleaned up.
The final appendix conists of a bunch of tables for randomly generating an inn name. Nothing we haven't seen before, but nothing done wrong either.
Overall, K-Squared has put together a neat little book for their first outing. I think every campaign world has a place for the Barking Pumpkin. All complaints I had were fixed within 12 hours after my initial review and sending the list of typos to the publisher, so I certainly cannot fault anyone on their response. With the fixes, I can happily give this product 5 stars. While it may only rate 9.5/10, it is a fine first outing for a fledgling publisher, and I hope to see such quality continued in further K-Squared products.

Do you miss someone? They're still with You...
Thank you for visiting this site.
If you have lost someone special, they're not gone. I accidentally discovered, in 2002, how to recognize the signs of contact from those who have passed away - and then verify I wasn't imagining it. I have shared this with thousands of people. Let me help you understand the people you love, and miss so much, as right beside you, anytime you need them to be.
Quick links:
| Comforting Poem | You Can Too | Videos | Books | Readings
If you struggle with the loss of a loved one, I want you to know you can contact them yourself - without the help of a psychic. As a starting point, to help you prepare your attitude, I'd suggest watching three films: "Ghost" with Demi Moore, "Just Like Heaven" with Reese Witherspoon, and "PS I Love You" with Hilary Swank. These three films depict what I believe is the reality that you can be a part of. As to how , I will share my simple idea in different ways, to suit different people.
I have shared my simple method in various ways, literally with thousands of people around the world. You can do this too. I share my idea across throughout this website, in YouTube free videos, and the information referenced by thousands of websites. Most of the information is free. I also have available low cost books and audio guides if you require. Use the menu at the top of the page.
I share my story in a poem, in books, on an audio guide, in videos, blogs, and articles.
If you are grieving the death of a loved one, wondering if there is life after death, are scared of ghosts, want spirit contact, whatever your situation, you can contact those you miss, at will, whenever you want, "talk" with them, and verify the experience is real - yourself

Sure, reports about iDevices getting plated with 24kt gold is not really new anymore but Macbook Pro covered with the third most expensive metal known to man? Well, if you're interested, you can head on to computer-choppers and see their latest creation.
Behold! A Macbook Pro plated with 24 karat gold along some finely carved intrinsic designs, which you can order and customize just in case you aren't a fan of age-old engravings. But that's not all, as you can see from the picture, the Apple logo is covered with 5 ctw diamonds making everything even more luxurious.
Likewise, you can contact the shop and ask if they can made a 13, 15 or even a 17-inch MBP for you, just make sure you know someone who has a royal blood because from what we heard, the retailer plans to flaunt it on Dubai as the world's most expensive Apple notebook.
Anyway, if you're a purist for gold, you can grab its alternative: a 13-inch Macbook Pro covered with 24kt gold sans the diamond-crusted Apple logo and engravings setting you back for a price of 5,000 USD. Expect it to be shipped after a month because things like these takes time to be finished.
Just don't ask us if its specs came from the latest MBP for this year since its innards are still being concealed.

Mexican president talks economy in Tijuana
Peña Nieto acknowledged dissatisfaction in Baja California with peak-demand electricity rates that last hours longer than in other states, and reiterated a campaign pledge to lower power costs. He offered no specific solution, however, for Baja California, which ties into the Norther American transmission system instead of Mexico's main grid.
The president also congratulated Tijuana's Xolos soccer squad and its fans for their championship victory this month — over a team from Peña Nieto's home state.
Major initiatives proposed by Peña Nieto's include a tax code overhaul and opening Mexico's government-run oil monopoly to private investment. Visiting to White House earlier this month, he and President Barack Obama discussed immigration reform.
"What I think he's doing is trying to change the narrative of Mexico and what its future is," said S. Lynne Walker, vice president of the Institute of the Americas in La Jolla. "He's bringing the secretary of the economy with him to talk with the very large and diverse business community on the California border. ... They're going to raise issues about how to stimulate the economy, how to create more jobs."

Sgt.Bowe Bergdahl to Face Court-Martial for Desertion … Faces Possible Life Sentence
It would appear that the U.S. military is taking the Sgt.Bowe Bergdahl very seriously and has ordered Bergdahl face a court-martial . Bergdahl is charged with desertion and endangering troops. Pretty amazing, seeing that the Obama administration hailed Bergdahl with praises of honor and distinction when he was freed. Of course what would you expect from this 'Alice in Wonderland' president. In May 2014 Barack Obama swapped Sergeant Bergdahl for five Taliban detainees who were being held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Brilliant.
A top Army commander on Monday ordered that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl face a court-martial on charges of desertion and endangering troops stemming from his decision to leave his outpost in 2009, a move that prompted a huge manhunt in the wilds of eastern Afghanistan and landed him in nearly five years of harsh Taliban captivity.
The decision by Gen. Robert B. Abrams, head of Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., means that Sergeant Bergdahl, 29, faces a possible life sentence. That is a far more serious penalty than had been recommended by the Army's investigating officer, who testified at the sergeant's preliminary hearing in September that prison would be "inappropriate."
According to Sergeant Bergdahl's defense lawyers, the Army lawyer who presided over the preliminary hearing also recommended that he face neither jail time nor a punitive discharge and that he go before an intermediate tribunal known as a "special court-martial," where the most severe penalty possible would be a year of confinement.
Monday's decision rejecting that recommendation means that Sergeant Bergdahl now faces a maximum five-year penalty if ultimately convicted by a military jury of desertion, as well as potential life imprisonment on the more serious charge of misbehavior before the enemy, which in this case means endangering the troops who were sent to search for him after he disappeared.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19 Year Old American Student Arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport Trying to join ISIS
In a note to his parents, Khan warned … 'FIRST and FOREMOST, PLEASE MAKE SURE NOT TO TELL THE AUTHORITIES.'
19 year old Mohammed Hamzah Khan, an American student has been arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport in an attempt to travel to Syria to join the terrorist group ISIS. The Bolingbrook teen has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, specifically by attempting to join the Islamic State, ISIS. The charge of attempting to support terrorism carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
An American teenager disgusted with the American way of life has been arrested at Chicago's O'Hare International airport after he allegedly tried to travel to the Middle East to join and fight with ISIS.
Federal prosecutors announced on Monday that FBI agents arrested 19-year-old Mohammed Hamzah Khan, of suburban Bolingbrook, on Saturday evening before he boarded a flight to Istanbul, Turkey, via Vienna.
They accuse him of attempting to travel overseas to support terrorism which carries a maximum sentence of 15-years and Khan is also charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
On Monday, the slight, bearded Khan appeared in a federal court in orange jail clothes, calmly telling the federal magistrate that he understood the allegations.
The local CBS affiliate in Chicago identified a Facebook account belonging to a Hamzah Khan as that of the would be ISIS recruit.
CNN – Planned to meet contact in Istanbul.
During questioning at the airport, Khan waived his Miranda rights and told FBI agents that a person he met online had given him the phone number of a person to call once he arrived in Istanbul.
That person, Khan told agents, was to take him into ISIS territory.
The Department of Justice said the $4,000 round-trip ticket to Istanbul was bought on September 26. But details on who purchased it for Khan and who he was to meet in Turkey were not disclosed.
According to the complaint, Khan told authorities he was planning on working in some type of public service for ISIS — like a police force — providing humanitarian work or taking up a combat role.

Obama State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf Suggests Fellow Soldiers Aren't Reliable Sources on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
There comes a point and time when enough is enough. That point was just reached with the Obama presidency.Yesterday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf indicated, while answering media questions in the wake of the ill-advised Taliban prison swap for Sgt. Bergdahl, that she did not think that fellow soldiers were not a reliable source on Bergdahl's walking away from his military unit. WHAT!!! Did she just call those soldiers who have spoken out against Bergdahl and called him a deserter, liars? Has the Obama administration no shame?
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf engaged in a heated exchange Tuesday with a reporter over the circumstances surrounding Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl's capture five years ago, saying she does not think his squad mates have the best idea of what happened when he disappeared.
When Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson asked, "Does the State Department consider Sergeant Bergdahl to be a deserter?" Harf replied, "The State Department — no, Lucas. Look, what we've said is we are going to learn the facts about what happened here."
As if the economy and Obama's handling of domestic issues was not bad enough over the past six years that has seen little to no recovery from the recession. Escalating federal debt out of control and a government takeover of the healthcare system that was never intended to provide care, but rather control. A foreign policy that has alienated our allies and emboldened our enemies. Scandals that has seen entities like the IRS purposely and willfully target Conservative organizations. Cover-ups in Benghazi where no one came to the aid of Americans in distress that left four Americans dead, including a US Ambassador. A VA scandal that this administration knew about and ran on in 2008, yet did nothing. Now the Obama administration swaps 5 Taliban GITMO detainees for some one who many believe was a deserter. Now they are calling fellow military soldiers liars. ENOUGH!
Watch the VIDEO below from The Kelly File, of the shameful actions of the State Department spokesperson and Lt. Col. Ralph Peters reaction just lambasting her and the administration.
Transcript from the Gateway Pundit:
FOX News reporter: Does the State Department consider Sgt. Bergdahl to be a deserter?
State Department spokesperson Marie Harf: No, Lucas, what we said is we are going to learn the facts on what happened here.
FOX News: According to those around him, his platoon-mates his squadron-mates said he walked off…
Harf: Lucas, some of them, there are conflicting reports out there about this.
FOX News: The guys on national television last night, his squad-mates, platoon-mates were not correct?
Harf: I'm saying we do not know the fact pattern yet. We don't. Nobody knows exactly what happened that night.
FOX News: Well, I think that his squad-mates would have the best indication…
Harf: I don't think that that's the case.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was heard to be whispering to herself, what difference does it make.

Far Left Journalist Glenn Greenwald Says to MSNBC: I Defend Snowden Like You Defend Obama "24 Hours a Day"
When the Far Left attack each other … with the Truth.
Lefty journalist Glenn Greenwald defended himself and his actions when he was asked by MSNBC's Kristen Welker if he was acting as a spokesman for whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Greenwald's response was priceless, "We're on MSNBC now, where close to 24 hours a day the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified." OUCH!!! But he did not stop there … "Sure, I do defend him just like people on MSNBC defend President Obama and his officials and Democratic Party leaders 24 hours a day."
Sit back, grab the popcorn and a beverage and watch Lib on Lib duke it out …
From Mediaite:
I think that's ludicrous is what I say to that," Greenwald shot back. "Every journalist has an agenda. We're on MSNBC now, where close to 24 hours a day the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified, the agenda of the Republican Party is undermined. That doesn't mean the people who appear on MSNBC aren't journalists, they are."
He said that every journalist has a "viewpoint" and he doesn't hide the fact that he finds Snowden's decision to expose the NSA's surveillance programs "heroic."
"Sure, I do defend him just like people on MSNBC defend President Obama and his officials and Democratic Party leaders 24 hours a day."
It's not just me who is laughing that anyone on BSNBC would have the CO-JONES to ask anyone if what they did affects their journalist integrity, the Lonely Conservative is getting a good chuckle herself.

Dick Cheney Calls Edward Snowden a Traitor … Deeply Suspicious' Snowden May Be a Chinese Spy … Defends NSA Surveillance Program
Politics makes strange bed fellows, doesn't it? In a rather remarkable Sunday talk show appearance, Dick Cheney appears on FNS to strongly defend the NSA data surveillance program in a way in which the Obama administration has failed to. After all the bad-mouthing that Obama has done over the years of GWB, Cheney and the Patriot Act surveillance programs, it is Cheney that comes to Obama's defense.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and discussed the recent revelations by "whistle-blower" Edward Snowden coming forward to state that the NSA data surveillance programs are Unconstitutionally collecting data on all Americans. Cheney called Snowden a "traitor" and questioned whether Snowden had have been a spy all along for the Chinese. As reported at the Politico, Cheney stated, "I'm suspicious because he went to China. That's not a place where you would ordinarily want to go if you are interested in freedom, liberty and so forth. It raises questions whether or not he had that kind of connection before he did this." Cheney further went on to defended the NSA programs that were created when he was VP; however, he criticized Barack Obama for suggesting that the war on terror is winding down. Cheney said, "First of all he's wrong, it's not winding down … the threat is bigger than ever."
"I think he's a traitor … I think he has committed crimes," Cheney said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."
The former number two to President George W. Bush said he suspects Snowden was a Chinese spy all along, questioning his decision to flee to Hong Kong ahead of releasing classified information on the NSA's phone and Internet monitoring programs.
Cheney defended those data surveillance methods as essential to national security, arguing that the threat from terrorism is worse than ever.
"I think he's a traitor… I'm deeply suspicious (Snowden is a spy) because he went to China. That's not a place where you ordinarily want to go if you're interested in freedom and liberty and so forth. So, it raises questions whether or not he had that kind of a connection he had before he did this. The other concern I had was whether or not he had help from inside the agency… That is to say, was there someone else in NSA who had access to some of this stuff and passed it to him. That's presumably one of the things they'll look at."
Video Hat Tip - The Gateway Pundit
Hmm, think Cheney will get a thank you from Obama?
Let's take a good look at what Obama has said in the past about the false choice between liberty and security in the past when he was not president.

American Traitor "Hanoi" Jane Fonda Says to US Military Vets Boycotting Her Movie, "Get A Life"
Jane Fonda continues to be one of the most loathed/hated/despised individuals of all times. "Hanoi" Jane Fonda tells US military veterans boycotting her movie, 'The Butler' to "GET A LIFE". Larry Reyes, a Navy veteran and founder of the "Boycott Hanoi Jane Playing Nancy Reagan" Facebook has criticized the casting of Hanoi Jane Fonda as Nance Reagan. Gee, ya think? If there was anything ever that might be more boycottable that this American traitor be cast as the beloved former first lady Nancy Reagan, I am not sure what it is? Because nothing says Nancy Reagan as does Hanoi Jane.
When Jane Fonda was cast as former First Lady Nancy Reagan in Lee Daniels' forthcoming film "The Butler," some Reagan fans were not pleased. Now, with the biographical due to hit theaters in October, a movement to boycott the movie is gaining some momentum.
Larry Reyes, a Navy veteran and founder of the "Boycott Hanoi Jane Playing Nancy Reagan" Facebook page has been particularly vocal about the casting decision, given Fonda's past frolicking with the enemy during the Vietnam War.
I made a commitment early on not to support her projects," Reyes told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "Then when I heard she was going to play such a well-liked and highly respected president's wife, it got to me. They (the filmmakers) knew by picking Jane for the part they were going to stir up some stuff. I'm not a conservative or a liberal, I'm an American. And that was a slap in the face."
This week, Fonda had a simple message for Reyes and the page's fans … "Get a life."
So the uber-LEFTY Jane Fonda thinks that it is perfectly A-O-K for her to protest and boycott the Vietnam War, but it's not ok to boycott her movie? Seems like typical liberal hypocrisy. One might want to tell Jane Fonda to "GET A LIFE"!

Actions Have Consequences … QVC Cancels Hanoi Jane Fonda's Appearance Over Protests to Her Vietnam War Opposition
Jane Fonda … Cry Me a River.
It's about time that Hanoi Jane understands that there are consequences to one's actions.This delusional lib actually thinks that she can be allowed to use her First Amendment rights of freedom of speech to write a book; however, others are not allowed their freedom of speech to protest and denounce the same said book. Jane Fonda actually is whining (link is to Fonda's liberal blog) over people protesting her book and her shilling it on QVC? Seriously? This from the woman, better known as Hanoi Jane, who sided with the enemy during the Vietnam War. How ironic that the leftist, pinko is now trying to make $'s using the capitalist system of QVC to sell books. Imagine taking pics with the very people who were shooting down American service men in Vietnam and some who this clown thinks she has never done anything against her country.
Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit & even more pics of Hanoi Jane
In 1972 "Hanoi" Jane Fonda applauded an NVA anti-aircraft gun crew during her trip to North Vietnam.
I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, "Prime Time," about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear. I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups.
Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us.
Really Jane? Because the picture above of you with the enemy didn't hurt the United States or the soldiers fighting for this country or those being held in POW camps. You just go on believing that lie. As stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, all one has to do is a simple Google search to find Fonda's long record of treason.
Let us not forget Dana Pretzer's SM's commentary on Jane Fonda from 2007
KUDOS to QVC for actually listening to the people who use their services and who are protesting this traitor.
UPDATE I: Imagine if the outrage still exists against Hanoi Jane after all these years, what is the protest and boycotts going to be like against anyone, business or media outlet that pays Casey Anthony for making blood money off of Caylee Anthony?

How to Throw Like a Boy if You're a Girl
The worst insult a boy can give another boy is "you throw like a girl". However not all girls throw like they have never thrown a ball before. Some girls throw harder than boys, so if you're a girl who can't throw hard, this is the perfect article for you.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Hold the ball with your fingers, not your palm.
2Keep your wrist loose.
3Focus your eyes on your target.
4Turn sideways with your throwing arm on the opposite side of the person you're throwing to. Remember, feet are shoulder width apart.
5The next steps happen one after another quite quickly.
- Step forward with your front foot
- Push off with your back foot
- Raise arm up and reach toward target
- Keep your elbow high
- Snap your wrist forward at the last second
- Let your arm follow through.
6Now you won't be insulted when a boy says you throw like a girl. Now watch the boy's face when you throw the ball.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- It helps if you position your front foot towards the person you're throwing to. This will increase your accuracy.
- Keep practicing until you get it right.
- Make sure there's someone you can throw it to or you can throw it to a wall and let it bounce back to you.
- When you're done throwing the ball it might not go the direction you wanted it to go. This is because you have done it wrong.
- Remember that it is expected that you will fail.
- Make sure you're not near any windows. They might break and your parents would not be happy about it.
- Don't teach boys how to throw this hard.
- Make sure you don't hit someone on the head when you throw the ball.

In just 2 days the 2013 Sundance Film Festival will kick off in Park City, Utah, and as per usual the Indiewire team will be on the scene offering a vast array of news, reviews and features on the 100+ feature films screening at the fest.
We've also decided to offer up this list of 20 of those films that are we anticipating in particular. Though the great thing about the fest is how the standouts often end up being films you'd never expect (how many folks had heard much about "Beasts of the Southern Wild" going into last year's festival?). So while we'll definitely be checking out the following, it might end up being a film that's totallly not on our radar that ends up being Sundance's big breakout.
"After Tiller"
Not flinching from the hot-button issue of abortion, filmmakers Martha Shane and Lana Wilson provide a firsthand glimpse of the four doctors still performing third-term abortions after the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion ativist in 2009 in Wichita, Kansas. The film has unprecedented access in showing the ins-and-outs of these four doctors' lives. Sundance is known for showing excellent films that don't shy away from controversial topics. Perhaps "After Tiller" will be in that Sundance canon. [Bryce J. Renninger]
Signs are pointing to David Lowery's feature film debut "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" being a strong contender in the U.S. Dramatic Competition, thanks in huge part to the presence of in-demand Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara. This is the actress, who after working with David Fincher on "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," has chosen to work under such revered authors as Spike Jonze, Steven Soderbergh and Terrence Malick. Lowery's in great company. "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" finds Mara playing one half of a young outlaw couple (her beau is played by Casey Affleck) who, at the outset of the drama, is apprehended by lawmen following a brutal shootout. The film then proceeds to track Affleck's journey to reunite with his love and newborn child. [Nigel M. Smith]
"Before Midnight"
Arguably the most anticipated film of the festival, the second sequel to Richard Linklater's beloved 1995 "Before Sunrise" (and first to his perhaps even more beloved 2004 film "Before Sunset"), "Before Midnight" reunites us with Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) almost two decades after they met on a train bound for Vienna. Now in their early forties, "Midnight" finds them reuniting in Greece and likely facing a time contraint related to 12am, though not much is officially known. Frankly, the less known the better as we enter the third chapter of one of the great love stories of American indie cinema. [Peter Knegt]
Several years ago, "The Cove" became a Sundance breakout story with its shocking revelations about the dolphin slaughter. This time around, documentarian Gabriela Cowperthwaite's "Blackfish" looks poised to boost a similar dialogue about the mistreatment of captive orcas. For decades, much of the world took killer whale theme parks for granted before facing a frightening wakeup call when at least one disgruntled animal killed several trainers. Cowperthwaite focuses on the life of that whale, Tilikum, with an exposé that promises a blend of haunting footage and testimonies that are likely ensure you'll never go to Seaworld again.

Rising, Ever Rising
IN 1887, Atlanta adopted a new city seal. The city council voted in that year to replace the old city seal, a locomotive engine, with the image of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of destruction, symbolizing the triumphant revival of a city virtually destroyed at the end of the Civil War. Beyond that, the phoenix also symbolized Atlanta's expansion beyond an economy based merely on commerce and transportation to a more diverse economy that by the turn of the century would include industry, finance, administration, service, and tourism. With a population of only twenty-one thousand at the close of the Civil War, the city grew to nearly one hundred thousand by 1900 and would surpass two hundred thousand by 1920.1
ATLANTA is where it is and is shaped as it is because of railroads and Georgia's commitment to supporting the building of railroads. When, in 1842, a stake was driven into the north Georgia soil seven miles from the banks of the Chattahoochee River to mark the terminus of the Western and Atlantic rail line from Chattanooga, Tennessee, the future center of Atlanta was also marked. Originally called Terminus, Atlanta started as a railroad town, a place where transportation lines from the South's coastal cities converged with connections to the upcountry, midwestern, and northern markets. The Georgia Railroad from Augusta, Georgia, and the Macon and Western line from Macon, Georgia, soon came to meet the Western and Atlantic, linking Georgia's seacoast and farmlands with markets in the North and Midwest in the 1850s. The junction created by these railroads drew people and businesses to the area as a town—and eventually a city—evolved around the tracks. Even as Atlanta's focus and energy embraced the world beyond commerce in the decades surrounding the turn of the century, the city would remain closely tied to the economic foundations that underlay its success.

In case you haven't heard, ABC's hit comedy Modern Family will air an episode next week in which Lily—the 2-year-old adopted daughter of gay couple Cam and Mitchell—will blurt the f-word.
"We thought it was a very natural story since, as parents, we've all been through this," Steve Levitan, the show's creator, told ew.com. "ABC will tell you that Modern Family gets away with a lot, because I think it's all about context. … I'm sure we'll have some detractors."
Naturally, viewers at home won't hear the actual word: A few boundaries still exist on television. You can't lob an unbleeped, scripted f-bomb during the family hour even now.
But those boundaries are quickly disappearing. As a parent, I find myself scrambling for the remote control during commercial breaks way too often these days. Sometimes it's easy to forget how much of that moral slide has taken place in a relatively short period of time. I'm 47. I don't think of myself as old. But recently I looked back at some TV tipping points that occurred during my lifetime, and it made me feel absolutely ancient:
• The first time TV beamed the word "h—" into our homes as an expletive was at the end of the 1967 Star Trek episode "City on the Edge of Forever" when Kirk said, "Let's get the h— out of here."
• During the 1972 season, Maude became the first prime-time series to show a principle player choosing to have an abortion. It was actually the title character, portrayed by actress Bea Arthur.
• Male and female nudity appeared on TV for the first time on separate occasions in 1973. The TV movie Steambath showed a woman taking a shower, while the sitcom M*A*S*H flashed a brief shot of actor Gary Burghoff's bare backside.
• In 1974, one year after shocking theatergoers in The Exorcist, actress Linda Blair starred in the controversial TV movie Born Innocent, featuring the first rape ever depicted on the small screen.
• Also in '74, a daytime soap opera courted scandal by having a woman call her son a "bastard." Even if you've never heard of the show Love of Life, you're probably familiar with the actor who played the son: Christopher Reeve.
• Speaking of soaps, the prime-time comedy serial Soap premiered in 1977, and featured Jodie Dallas, television's first openly gay main character. Jodie was portrayed by actor/comedian Billy Crystal.
• For decades, NBC's Saturday Night Live has made its mark by irreverently crossing lines of decency. But in 1981 there were actually consequences when comedian Charles Rocket got fired after uttering the first televised f-bomb.
Those are just a few classic examples. Perhaps you can remind us of others. Of course, writers and producers continue to look for ways to break taboos today; they're just having a harder time finding any of them still intact.
Last fall, actress Whitney Cummings (who helped create the surprise hit sitcom 2 Broke Girls) addressed the fact that the word vagina was suddenly getting a lot of play in prime time. She said, "I think our tolerance for what is edgy is changing. We're getting a little desensitized, so sometimes you have to be more and more shocking because now you have YouTube and the Internet and all the rest that's available for us to watch."
She's absolutely right. With so many entertainment options at our disposal—not to mention competition from the anything-goes world of cable TV—traditional networks are as desperate as ever to get our attention. So they giggle like third-graders eager to shock us with the naughty words they've learned on the playground. We turn our heads. We may roll our eyes. But it doesn't last. And the next show has to up the ante. Indeed, as we've witnessed for nearly 50 years, any short-term benefit to the networks is something we'll be paying for as a society long after that program has been canceled.

I didn't realize how much work was actually in a blog until I sat down and started messing with mine the other day. It probably doesn't help that I have a mild form of self-diagnosed OCD. The amount of times I changed my header image and the background image is absurd. I can't even begin to describe how long it took me to come up with a title for it as well.

Blogging is going to be tough. I do
not use social media to express my opinions. I don't tweet, and I don't post
Facebook statuses. Reading through the assigned readings made me realize that
promoting myself through blogging can be a good asset for my future career.
Never using social media obviously means I have no idea how
to use a blog, so the readings were very helpful. Some of my favorite help was
from page 44, "Becoming a better blogger" in the book Google this.
I recall the early years of information sharing on the
Internet. Many teachers did not accept
online resources as reliable sources of information for school work since
little was known about who was sharing the information. The only validated sources of information
were found at web addresses ending in .org, .edu and .gov. So when blogs gained popularity, I was
skeptical of its legitimacy. Even as
David Merriman Scott states in his most recent edition of "The New
I've never had a blog before, so everything I've read in the Google This book is all-new to me. I love all of the different ways of customization that can be done with blogs to make it totally you. I'm excited to put all of my newly learned skills together and entertain and inspire people with my posts. Who knows, I may have found a new hobby.

their purposes for blogging might vary, there are still some practical tips in
First, pick the
most suitable, not the most popular, platform. (G. Page# 53 Why Fashion's Top
Brands Are Flocking to Tumblr)
The assigned chapters this week gave me a
lot of good insight on blogging and connected me to numerous resources. I have
always wanted to start a blog to in order to connect with other people who
share my passions and showcase my writing, but I have lacked the motivation and
discipline to keep it up. I hope this class will force me to overcome that and
become a regular blogger.

This spa day was booked weeks in advance by telephone. The day before the spa day, I received a text reminding me of the spa day, which was a lovely little reminder. My cousin and I went in on a Sunday, we were greeted by our first names by the receptionist, which was a nice touch. She welcomed us both, offered us a drink and asked us to fill in a form. The reception area was gorgeous, smelt nice and was clean. We were the only ones in the spa that morning.
Our therapists introduced themselves and took us down to the couples room for a massage and facial. The therapists asked us if we enjoyed the firmness of the massage and adjusted accordingly. During the facial, they addressed the issues that we raised on the form the we filled in earlier. Only slight issue was the noise during the facial, as the therapists selected the appropriate products and turning on the taps - it was noisy and distracting. Then we were taken upstairs for a pedicure. Whilst the therapists worked on our feet and we were given magazines to read and were asked if we wanted anything to drink. The spa was getting a little busy but the atmosphere remained calm. There were roadworks going on outside, the receptionist apologised for this (but there was no need).
When the treatment had finished, the therapists said goodbye and said that they hope to see us again. We felt relaxed and didn't feel as though they were trying to get rid of us. Overall it was a really great experience and I am still impressed with my pedicure!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2003 – "The United States and four Central American countries – El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua – today concluded a free-trade agreement that further advances trade liberalization and expands economic opportunities for America's farmers, ranchers and exporters.
"I want to convey our thanks to Ambassador Zoellick and his team and the many negotiators from all countries who have worked for a year to bring this agreement to completion.
"We expect new and expanded market access for a broad range of U.S. commodities. These include feed grains, rice, beef, pork, poultry, horticultural products and processed consumer-ready products, to name just a few. Under this agreement, U.S. agricultural exports, now near $1 billion a year, will compete more favorably in this nearby and growing market of 31 million consumers.
"This comprehensive agreement embodies the general principles regarding duty-free, quota-free access for all agricultural products and addresses other important trade measures in both countries. All countries have renewed their commitment to continue the work on resolving continuing sanitary and phytosanitary issues that inhibit market access.
"We want to assure our producers that provisions are in place to provide additional protection to import sensitive products such as sugar, dairy, peanuts and meat during the transition period. Depending on the products, these could include tariff-rate quotas, long-term tariff phase-outs, nonlinear tariff reductions, and the application of an import safeguard mechanism.
"This is yet another positive development for our currently strong agricultural economy. This agreement will provide expanding long-term opportunities for our producers in a growth market right here in our hemisphere."

Team Penske president Cindric sizes up Power vs. Castroneves title fight
Cindric has the unique ability to assess the two Team Penske drivers that are battling it out for the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series championship.
FONTANA, Calif. – On race weekends Team Penske president Tim Cindric is in charge of Will Power's race strategy, but throughout the week he is the man who runs Team Penske. That gives Cindric the unique ability to assess the two Team Penske drivers that are battling it out for the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series Championship.
The final race of the season is Saturday night's MAVTV 500 at Auto Club Speedway. Power takes a 51-point lead over three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves into the double points race. There are a variety of scenarios that can determine the championship but in its simplest form, if Power finishes sixth or better he wins his first IndyCar title.
Castroneves needs some help in order to make up the 51-point deficit but his first and foremost objective is to win the race and see how things fall after that.
Castroneves enters the race with just one victory this season – the same as last year when he finished second to Scott Dixon in the championship by 27 points.
"Typically it takes more than one victory in the series to win the championship and I think that will come out to play here because in a lot of ways he needs to win here," Cindric said. "If that one win turns into two, it would be a big victory. Obviously, he almost won the Indy 500 and he had his shot at a few other races.
"You do have to win more than one race in this series. If you look at Will's season where he won three races -- without a few things that happened in that world -- he would be running the gamut in some ways. Will has been having a typical championship season if you take away a few drive-through penalties and unforeseen situations. But Helio has to win here to have a shot at it."
This is the fourth time since 2010 that Power has gone into the final race of the season as the points leader. He lost titles in 2010, 2011 and 2012 in the final race and was not in contention for the championship last year when he went out and won the final race of the season at this track.
In the past, Power has generally started out fast and faltered at the end. This year, Power had a great start to the season, slumped midway through the schedule but battled back to some impressive finishes including a dominant performance at the Milwaukee Mile two weeks ago where he led 229 laps in the 250-lap race to claim the victory.
"Last year he ended the season on the flourish but he wasn't in the battle for the championship," Cindric said. "Last year there were so many bad races so early in the year; he couldn't catch up from that point on. Again, what has kept him from winning have been the real bad days -- and knock on wood -- we haven't had any of those this year. He has improved on the ovals and we have given him a better car."
Power has taken an attitude of racing to win rather than racing to protect a points lead. He is on offense more than defense.
"I contribute most of it to his confidence on the ovals," Cindric said. "He gained confidence on the ovals last year. There were a couple races on the ovals he should have won and didn't. Winning here last year was a big deal after what happened to him here the year before (when he crashed and lost the championship to Ryan Hunter-Reay). That put his confidence together across the board where he came into this year without any weaknesses. He entered the year confident and has been very consistent this year."
Cindric believes Castroneves has been a constant near the top of the standings and has improved on street and road course qualifications. But the difference is three wins for Power to just one for Castroneves.
That is why it is so important for Castroneves to get win No. 2 in the final race this season.
If one of the Team Penske drivers can lock up the title -- and it would take something catastrophic to stop that -- it will be the first championship for Team Penske since Sam Hornish Jr.'s in 2006 and only the second championship since joining this series in 2002.
"It's been way too long but when you look at the statistics we should have won quite a few of them," Cindric said. "But we haven't for whatever reason it's been a different circumstance every year. When you look at number of wins and number of poles and all the other statistics we would be on top of every one of those from that period.
"But when it comes to the championship, two, three or four got away from us and we didn't execute when we needed to.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to that this weekend."

"According to a national study, 100% of schools with environment-based learning had students with improved behavior, attendance and attitudes relative to traditional schools." - SEER
Our Mission:
Promoting participation in the outdoors through education and involvement with the cooperation of individuals, schools, and organizations to improve the quality of life in Iowa and insure a legacy for future generations.
Virtually every square foot of snow covered ground is crisscrossed with tracks, hinting that wildlife is much more active in winter than one might expect. Deer tracks abound, from those of a single doe traipsing across the yard alone to deep trails showing the thoroughfare leading to the bird feeders filled with sunflower seed. This is a time of year when those feeders are frequented by not only birds but also by any other critter who can find a way to reach the seed, even if it means standing up on hind legs to reach the meal.
At those feeders, chickadees, nuthatches and finches compete for the best spots. Three distinctly different Red-headed woodpeckers make appearances, from an adult with bright red feathers covering its head, to a younger version with a brown face peeking from a red stocking cap, to the third, still sporting juvenile plumage that includes no red feathers at all. One by one, each selects a single sunflower seed, wedges it into a notch in the feeder, and cracks open the seed.
Winter at Springbrook is not all about wildlife quietly finding food in a blanket of white. There are bigger tracks here, too. Lines of boot tracks march up and down the snow covered trails, a sign left by the young explorers who breathlessly follow some of the other tracks, hoping to discover the deer. They make use of the knee deep snow and think about what it would take to survive as they construct shelters in the woods. Ice is tested for safety, holes drilled, and fishing lines dangle into the water as faces smile just thinking about fish swimming below. Owls call along moonlit trails and campfires welcome chilly hikers.
Today is a great day to go explore! Pull on an extra layer (or two), and join us on a trail at Springbrook or find a place of your own to investigate!

For my birthday I got the three month starter kit for XBox Live, something I have been wanting for quite a long time. It was an interesting experience.
When I opened the wrapping to find it was XBox Live I was overjoyed.
Opening the box to find my bitchin new headset I became even more pleased.
I plugged everything in and was all set to get online.
My fingers trembled as I started my XBox.
Then I saw the message. The bane of my existence. PPPoE Denied.
Being an idiot, I have no idea what PPPoE meant, so I called my ISP to figure out what to do.
To my dissapointment, I found the tech support guy was clearly based in Pakistan and had never heard of an XBox.
His entire directions we're "Are the cables plugged in". It took him 20 minutes to tell me this. Anger followed.
I tried again to connect and still got the same error message. Everything went dark, I may have gotten a little out of hand.
I realized perhaps I should get ahold of XBox tech support. After calling I was pleased to find I could understand what the person on the end of the line was saying.
Because of the help of my lovely XBox Live tech support lady person I got connected with little trouble. I was filled with a sensation not unlike joy.
I have now been a registered XBox Live member for almost two whole days. I am very happy.
The End.

The Wolverine State has lost its only known wild wolverine.
State officials said Monday hikers found the 28-pound female over the weekend outside Minden, about 90 miles north of Detroit.
Department of Natural Resources and Environment spokeswoman Mary Dettloff says natural causes are suspected.
Hunters first spotted the wolverine in 2004. Teacher Jeff Ford tracked the animal for years and says it had distinctive markings "like a fingerprint." He says years of monitoring failed to document any other wolverines in the area.
Previously, the last known Michigan wolverine sightings were in the early 1800s. The animal's ferocious reputation led to its selection as a mascot for the state and the University of Michigan.
Most North American wolverines are found in Alaska and Canada.

I'm going to install tongue-and-groove parquet on a concrete slab. Last year I put in 240 square feet of ceramic floor tile in a single day, by myself. I would prefer not to attempt 430 square feet of wood in one day. Is it okay to divide the job up into 2 or 3 sections, or will the adhesive shrink too much overnight, causing a noticable line between sections? Can I at least save the borders for the next day? Thanks.

i don't recall wood mastic shrinking,so i think you can do it over a few days,same with the boarders........maybe one of our wood guys will post with additional information.good luck
Of course you can break it up into as many days as you can handle.
Good luck .
I dont think i can recall any type of flooring that must be layed in one day.
Good luck .
Good points! Someone without the knowledge of using adhesives may run into problems. Just be careful not to have any of the adhesive run outside the control line areas where it will be continued the next day.
Ken Fisher
If you have an uneven subfloor you may find adding the borders the next day may not engage as well as you expect after the adhesive cures.
