HHD Day and Weekend Recap
The Science Museum of Virginia with Nana and Pop. We had hoped to be able to go to BG or hiking, but, as with the year she died, the day was hot and muggy and we really didn't want to spend it outdoors in the blazing sun.
We explored for a bit, watched a couple of rats named Barbara and Irene play basketball (Lil informed us it was "rasketball" hee hee), explored a bit more and then went to watch "Flight of the Butterflies" in the IMAX theater. I was surrounded by butterflies. :o)
We had dinner with Nana and Pop and then headed for home.
Pork, Peanut, and Pine Festival going on at Chippokes Plantation. We decided that sounded like a fun way to spend our Saturday, so we met at the pixie boat, released our balloons for Hannah (the silver balloon was the one with a mind of its own this year), and got ready to board the boat.
The grounds were beautiful. Look at this crepe myrtle tunnel.
We were all hot, tired, drenched and dusty by the time we headed for home.
I had put off a number of chores and knew the dogs were in desperate need of a haircut and bath. Since I was already gross I figured, why not.
Today has been spent relaxing and doing more gf research. I'm determined to not mess up and accidentally gluten my honey. We're moving closer to a diagnosis (he sees the GI for a preop appointment tomorrow) so I'm working on starting to clear the gluten out of the house. This is a tough one as it's in practically everything...
From the abnormal of "celebrating" a heaven day, back to the "normal" of daily life. So it goes.

Sounds like a delightful day that all of you were able to have together. Color me jealous about the Flight of the Butterflies movie. It's on the list. I swear.
Such a beautiful lily, too!

That crepe myrtle is enormous!! We just moved to a new house and have a large one "fencing" our back patio but it's more like a large bush... that is beautiful!

That parade on a different day would probably just be called traffic. Looks like an awesome time, though! Glad you had fun.

Healthy Eating
Eat Whole Grains
- Snack on whole grain cereals, crackers, and popcorn with little or no added salt and butter.
- Choose foods that name "whole"-grain, brown rice, or oatmeal first on the label's ingredient list.
- Foods labeled with the words "multi-grain," "stone-ground," "100% wheat," "cracked wheat," "seven-grain," or "bran" are usually not whole-grain products.
- Color is not an indication of a whole grain. Bread can be brown because of molasses or other added ingredients. Read the ingredient list to see if it is a whole grain.
Half Your Plate Should be Fruits and Veggies
- Cut-up fruit makes a great snack. Either cut them yourself, or buy pre-cut packages of fruit pieces like pineapples or melons. Or, try whole fresh berries or grapes.
- Dried fruits also make a great snack on the go, in your desk or car, or a packed lunch. A ¼ cup is equivalent to ½ cup of other fruits.
- Frozen juice bars (100% juice) make healthy alternatives to high-fat snacks.
- Keep a bowl of whole fruit on the table, counter, or in the refrigerator. Seasonal fruit is less expensive.
Use Fat Free and Low Fat Dairy Products
- When recipes call for sour cream, substitute plain yogurt.
- Add fat-free or low-fat milk instead of water to oatmeal and hot cereals and when making condensed cream soups (such as cream of tomato).
- Parents who drink milk and eat dairy foods show their kids that it is important.
Go Lean with Protein
- Choose beans, peas, nuts or soy products as a main dish or part of a meal often. Use nuts to replace meat or poultry, not in addition.
- Choose extra lean ground beef. The label should say at least "90% lean." Trim away all of the visible fat and drain off any fat that appears during cooking.
- Buy skinless chicken parts, or take off the skin before cooking.
- Broil, grill, roast, poach, or boil meat, poultry, or fish instead of frying. Breading adds calories. It will also cause the food to soak up more fat during frying.

MICHIGAN, JANUARY 9, 1959 NUMBER THIRTEEN w Mill I® lit StMi iBiiista The Clebanoff Strings, Herman Clebanoff conducting, will appear at Central Monday. The program which begins at 0:15 p.m. in the W ,i r r i n c r Auditorium is the fouith offering of the Artists Course Series. The Clebanoff Strings will present a two-part program which will indicate why this group is often thought of as two orchestras in one. The first half features classical music of a .familiar vein, including Mozart's "Symphony No. l in D Major" and Haydn's "Concerto in D Major." The second half features popular music from their Moods in Music album. Included in this section wil be "Swingln' Sweethearts," "Tammy," "Claire do Lume" and selections from "My Fair Lady," and "Showboai."

HERMAN CLEBANOFF hi®M §wm\ft@i £®« To I© thai for 'Teicter Station Wayne State University is in the process of establishing an experimental college with the aid of •> S700.000 grant from the Ford foundation. The purpose of the college will bo to work out an integrated pro- Mam of general education continuing throughout the student's four years in college. Central Michigan College has "■■reived a S50.000 grant from the J'oid Foundation for a similar I'tojeet. Central will use its grant to help finance an experimental undergraduate program in teacher education. The program will stfengthen basic courses in genial education and focus professional training oh paid internships. The Wayne program will include work in natural science, social seience and the humanities ™ all four undergraduate years, •••thin these three general areas, "'adilional divisions of subjects into academic courses will be largely discarded. Instead, the main areas of study w'll be combined to form courses covering the basic areas. English composition will be integrated ,nI° aU studies in the curriculum. The Wayne project also involves experimentation with classroom conditions. Courses will w taught through a combination of large lecture classes, small discission groups and independent study. The Sputnik scare last year has left its imprints on education, especially education of math, science, foreign language or engineering students. The National government is helping to promote these subjects by appropriating six million dollars for the education of students on these curricula. Central has applied for §100,000 of the money which Michigan will receive. "Because of the size of Central and the limited mone.v available to Michigan colleges, the hope of getting that much money is zero." said Mr. Norvall Bovee, vice-president of Business and Finance. Central must match from its locally-supported loan fund one- ninth Of the monev it receives from the national fund. Who is eligible for a loan from this fund? There are two main qualifications: (1) the student must have superior academic ability in math, science, foreign language or engineering, and (2) the student must prove financial need. Priority for the loans will be given to students on the elementary or secondary teaching curriculum. A student can borrow up to Sl.000 in one year and the maximum of S5.000 in five years. "It wduld be very difficult to get that kind or money (the entire $1,000), because you would virtually have to prove to the Student Loan Fund Committee that you didn't have a nickel. The money isn't being made available to discourage ambition and initiative," Mr. Bovee said. "There's no use for students who can't meet the qualifications of need and superior academic achievements in math, science, foreign language or engineering to clutter up the works by taking up our time, but we'll welcome legitimate aplieations lor loans," he commented, , Applications can be picked up at the reception desk at the business office. Thev should be filled out and returned immediately so that when and if Central's appropriation is decided the loans can be handled immediately. Repayment of the loan doesn't begin until one year after the student finishes school. A student would then have ten years to pay back the loan and the three per cent interest. If the student goes into the teaching profession for five years, half of the loan, principle and interest, will be cancelled. Ten per cent of the loan is cancelled each year until half of the loan has been cancelled. Central conducted a survey of students in the dorms and in personnel classes recently to see how many students needed to borrow money. Because the figures were so high, they have been lowered. Out of a sampling of 28 per cent of the total enrollment about one- third of the students wanted to borrow S300. , From the locally supported loan fund in the fiscal year of 1957-58, 234 loans were made totaling S3G.293. This fund does not have as much red tape and is ex- celent for small, short term ioans. IMilltl Central Michigan College will be well represented at a speech tournament this weekend at Illinois State Normal University at Normal Illinois. Students will take part in five different speech activities, according to Dr. Gilbert Rau, director of debate.

Mt. Pleasant's city commissioners were far from lonesome at last Monday evening's commission meeting when about 15 people turned out to protest possible legislation which would prohibit overnight parking on the city's streets. Several Central students were among the protest group. None of the commissioners were certain who had first suggested the legislation, but according, to Douglas W. MeFarlane, city mayor, the thought behind the : possible legislation is "to keep a j cleaner and neater city." j The bill, which would pro- | hibii parking on i h e streets | from 2 a.m. io S a.m., was tabled ■ until further investigation of ! the matter could be conducted. One Mt. Pleasant citizen said, j "I took the trouble to drive around the city after 2 a.m. one i morning after the college students • had gone home and would esti- For Math, Anspach Announces Mitchell Appoinhneni h Business Division Mr. Henry Mitchell has been appointed administrative assistant in the business division. President Charles L. Anspach announced. His duties will include general business administration, program, and plant maintenance. He will assume some of the duties of Mr. Robert Spindler who will be in charge of accounting and the new IBM center. Mr. Mitchell came here from the Chicago Medical School where he was business manager for eight years. He was office manager of the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company in the Chicago, 111. and Hartford, Conn, offices. During World War II he was a major in the U. S. Army field artillery in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He received his B.S. in mathematics at Harvard University, and attended Trinity College, Boston University, and Northwestern University.

Either ihe uniform or a tuxedo is required dress for ihe men, mate that there were still hundreds of ears parked on the streets." The commissions said ' they had no idea how many cars would be affected by the possible I legislation. Tom Tretheway, member of the TAU fraternity, explained to the commissioners that nine cars park ; around the fraternity house on i South College and that if the bill ; is passed, the fraternity couldn't ; possibly turn its yard into a park- • ing lot which could accommodate the ears. A commissioner asked if ihe parking problem had been considered when tho bouse was purchased. He also explained thai the college was aware of the bill, and said there was ample space for all the off-campus ' cars in ihe college storage lots. The commissioners said that the problem of what was io be ■ done with the off-campus cars ' was noi theirs. Mt. Pleasant's City Manager, Alan Kronbach. said, "This legislation is something the city commission has thought about now for Saturday is the last day to apply for scholarships for Central's mathematics and science inserviee ' institute.

Some cities have control over their streets whether in the winter or the summer." He went on to say, "When we have had quite a bit of snow, we have had to ask people to move their cars. We have also noticed in the south end of the city some cars are left parked in the same spot for a week at a time." Dr. Robert Hall, M.D. at Central's health service, asked who this new bill was favoring. Hall said "people have parked on the city streets for a long time and apparently none of them have complained about being snowed in by the snow plow. If the legislation is favoring the snow-plow driver so that he can make nice straight, cleanly plowed streets and not have to drive around the ears, I can't feel very sorry for him." Several possible solutions to the parking problem were offered by members of the protest group. Some advanced the idea of parking on the East-West streets on the odd days of the months and on the North-South streets on the even days. Others asked about the possibility of parking on the odd house number side of the streets during the odd number days and on the even number side during the even number days.

He especially wants people who are scheduled for interviews to come in before the interview and look at the materials and brochures of the company or place which is interviewing them. In this way they can get a pretty good idea of what to expect from the company in the way of opportunities and chances for advancement. The office has placement books which contain information about almost every company in the United Slates and the types of people they are looking for. The brochures have been taken out of the file drawers and have been placed in the waiting room. There is also a file or interviewers in the office.

Without a doubt, Sam Cooke was one of the most influential performers in the history of American popular music. His work cut across the genres of gospel, R&B and pop, and Cooke is credited as being one of soul music's primary architects.
Cooke was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1931, and his family moved to Chicago when Cooke was a toddler. He started singing in the church, and joined the most popular gospel group in the country, the Soul Stirrers, when he was still a teenager. His career with the Soul Stirrers was enough to secure his place in the annals of music history, but his ambition and talent would take him much further.
With the release of "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke embarked upon a career in secular music that transcended the boundaries of R&B and pop. He was a pioneering figure in African-American entrepreneurship, gaining remarkable artistic control of his music and the business surrounding it. Recognizing the importance of owning publishing rights to music, he founded his own record label, SAR, with J.W. Alexander and Roy Crain in 1961, despite being courted aggressively by the leading record labels of the day. He ...
I was just an elementary school kid when I first heard "Dance to the Music," Sly and the Family Stone's first hit single, in spring 1968. The song was on the radio all the time. If it wasn't on the Top 40/pop stations WIXY or CKLW, you just had to dial up to WJMO or WABQ, the R&B/ soul stations, to hear Cynthia Robinson's cheeky introductory demand: "Get up and dance to the music! Get on up and dance to the funky music!"
Cynthia Robinson was one half of the horn section of the Family Stone and the de facto MC – that's MC in the early days of hip-hop sense – the "mic controller" who would punctuate dance tracks with enjoinders to "get up" or "get down" to the music to keep dancers engaged and moving on their feet. Cynthia was doing it 10 years before the Sugarhill Gang or Grandmaster Flash dropped their first beat.
That's just one more way that Cynthia was ahead of her time, a pioneer, showing the rest of us the way. She was a strong female presence in a band – not a vocalist, as was the usual position ...
Doug Bradley, author of DEROS Vietnam, has written extensively about his Vietnam, and post-Vietnam, experiences. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in March 1970 and served one year as an information specialist (journalist) at U.S. Army Republic of Vietnam (USARV) headquarters near Saigon.
I first became a soldier in a war zone on Veterans Day (November 11) 1970. It's an irony I've wrestled with for 45 years, due in part to the precise timing of U. S. Army tours of duty in Vietnam, which meant that Uncle Sam would send me back home exactly 365 days later — on November 11, 1971.
Needless to say, the date is etched in my mind and will always be. It's personal, of course, but in a way it's lyrical, too. I say that because my earliest Vietnam memories aren't about guns and bullets, but rather about music.
As my fellow "newbies" and I were being transported from Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base to the Army's 90th Replacement Battalion at Long Binh, I vividly recall hearing Smokey Robinson and The Miracles singing "Tears of a Clown." That pop song was blasting from four or five ...

Motown was like the soundtrack of my household. That's pretty much all we played, so I was enormously familiar with Smokey Robinson, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, as well as all the Motown stuff that Smokey wrote.
He was my first example of a songwriter. Period. Not only was he an artist that wrote for himself, but he wrote for all these other artists. And there were all these hits, and it was like, man, this guy is like really working towards the betterment of music, and the betterment of like lyrics.
So as I grew and got into poetry, got into music, I was very much a student of Smokey Robinson, very much a big fan of a lot of his songs that he created, and just all the things he was doing.
It really helped me when I got into the industry and became a songwriter and was pretty well-known and was trying to become an artist as well, most of the labels ...

Wow, to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was such a surprise to me, it was such an honor, such a joyful time for me.
I believe, if I'm not mistaken, I was inducted on the second induction [in 1987]. The first induction was Elvis Presley and, oh gosh, Little Richard [in 1986]. But I never thought that I would be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It just was something that I said, "Oh wow, this is great."
And they started the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And it's like a dream. It's like you have this thought that you'd like to be there. You'd love to be recognized like that. It's like when the Miracles and I first went to the Apollo Theater, ever. It was our first really professional date.
We had never really been too ...
Ask any Clevelander who heard Smokey Robinson perform here early on in his career, and they'll likely tell you about Leo's Casino.
Leo's Casino, designated a historic rock and roll landmark by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, stood at 7500 Euclid Avenue on Cleveland's east side. From the time it opened in 1963, Leo's featured Motown artists on a regular basis. "It was a very important club to us," Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr., told The Plain Dealer. The Supremes, the Four Tops, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and – of course – Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were among the acts that played there, often using the 700-seat, racially integrated venue to hone their acts.
Throughout the 1960s, the Miracles returned to Leo's Casino at least once a year for a four-evening stint, performing as many as three shows each night. One of these performances was even filmed in 1966 for a nationally televised documentary on the Miracles. In addition to playing Leo's traditional "Sweater Night" Thursdays, men's nights and ladies' nights, the Miracles – described as "a handsome young group of vocalists" by Cleveland's Call and Post in 1965 ...
"The Tears of a Clown," which is one of the biggest songs and the biggest records that I have ever been associated with as a record artist.
We used to have social gatherings. We had Christmas parties every Christmas. And like I said, all of the others are Motown were very, very, very close. One of my closest brothers is Stevie Wonder. I love Stevie Wonder, okay. And so Stevie came to me at a Christmas party, he said, "Smoke man, I got this track, man, that I've recorded here."
And he said: "It's a great track… but I can't think of a song to go with this track. … listen to this for me and see if you can come up with a song for it." So I said okay. So I took the track, and I took it home and I listened to it.
And when I first heard the track, the track that he gave me that night was complete. It's the one that's on the record. He had already recorded the track and did the music and all that. And so the first thing I hear is [the main theme] – so that ...

Shaka on Craigslist doing barters, real?Posted by Aug01, 2010 Comments /span>
YES! we all know when your dealing with craigslist scammers can be a problem. Recently we have been posting and offering bartering for vacation time or surf packages at Shaka Beach Retreat We have reserved a limited amount of trades we will offer this year.
We have things that we would like to acquire mainly to bring to Shaka because here in Costa Rica many things are difficult to find or are way over priced if you purchase them here, specifically non reject name brand items. Replicas are also a problem. We believe bartering is a great thing because both parties can leverage their value.
So to sumarize it, yes we are offering bartering and we are posting in different cities through Craigslist where we either have friends or family that can collect an item or we are requesting small items that can easily be brought down in the luggage and exchanged upon arival.
If you are one of the interested parties your reservation will be made through our booking company:
Access Travel
P.O. Box 4974
Aspen, Co. 81612
Only after you have verified your reservation and you know its legit will we expect you to provide us with the item, items or service. Provided everything is as represented its a done deal, no sweat. We hope to see you and go surfing with you soon.
Pura Vida!

Kiplin Hall
Students pose with the illustrious Dr. Gillin at the top of Helm Crag.
Over the course of three weeks, seventeen students — joined by Dr. and Mrs. Gillin and their son-in-law Frank Fitzgibbon — hiked throughout the Lake District of England and the rocky slopes of Ireland.
From the "Who's Who of Grasmere" to the harshness of the moors, students hiked and read from William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the Brontës in order to better understand the connection between literature and landscape. After hiking the steep mountains in surprisingly warm English weather, students bonded together at the Kiplin Hall Estate in Richmond, Yorkshire, England–an estate built by the Calvert family of Maryland.
Over hearty Irish breakfasts, students listened to Dr. Gillin read from Seamus Heaney, Patrick Kavanagh, and Leanne O'Sullivan before traversing the rich green crags and slopes of Ireland — sliding down bogs on their daily treks. Returning to the local pub in Glengariff at the end of each day, the bogsliders crowded around one large table to enjoy good food, warm Irish drinks, and the singing culture of Irish pubs.
Dr. Gillin reads Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" while the class takes a hiking break on Helm Crag.
This trip is my favorite WAC memory. I had some of the most awesome people to climb with as well as two pretty fantastic professors to guide us through the literature, history, and hikes. Wouldn't have missed that for the world!
—Joanna Boczon '12
It was a truly unique experience. Poetry has a special timelessness in its words, and reading it in meaningful, untouched locations never failed to give me chills. Hiking the same wild moors as Emily Brontë, gazing at the same lakes as Wordsworth, haunting the same graveyard as Dracula — there was never a dull moment.

I loved reaching the top of Hellvelyn and looking down at the lake where we had lunch — one second the entire Lake District before us — and next — nothing but clouds and the sheer whiteness of the fog surrounding us flatly on all sides.
—Olivia Mott '12
The hills became so wet as we got closer and closer to the ground that many of us started a kind of slip and slide down the hill…I went sliding down the hill…this was my favorite moment of the trip…I enjoyed the climb up and quick descent and the unexpectedness of the storm. We all stuck together, and the cohesive nature of the group, especially evident on that particular day, was what made learning and hiking on this trip so enjoyable.
—Erin McAuliffe '14
Sarah Masker '13, Erin McAuliffe '14, Tina Gardner '11, Lisa Maberry, and Holly Irvin carry Mike Nolen '13 through the ruins.
Dr. Gillin reads the poem "Michael" by William Wordsworth in the very sheepfold that inspired the poet.

Last March, Anthony Gregory questioned if Barack Obama was already a worse president than George W. Bush, noting a long list of dubious accomplishments during Bush's eight-year tenure. Prior to his election Obama was highly critical of Bush's policy on torture and the holding of suspected terrorists indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay without trial. And one of Obama's first acts after being sworn in as President was also one of his most dramatic: he signed an executive order banning torture and ordering the closure of Gitmo by 2010. It was hailed as a bold move to restore the country's shattered image overseas and bring its prosecution of the war on terror in line with its values on respecting human rights.
What a difference a thousand days as Leader of the Free World makes.
During that time Obama has ordered the killing of an American citizen in Yemen, without due process, based on his alleged association with al-Qaeda. And in March he made an about-face on his promise to close Gitmo, instead reinstating the military tribunals and continuing Bush's policy of detaining suspects without trial since they "in effect, remain at war with the United States."
Now the Senate has granted Obama even greater discretion in arresting and indefinitely holding anyone – even U. S. citizens, despite its supporters' claims to the contrary – suspected of terrorist activity, in approving a defense appropriation bill for 2012 that essentially expands the battlefield for the war on terror to anywhere on the planet, including U. S. soil. (The Senate rejected an amendment sponsored by Colorado Democrat Mark Udall and Kentucky Republican Rand Paul that would have stripped out the authorization for indefinite detention of terrorism suspects.) It is an unprecedented expansion of power for a president who campaigned on a promise to restore the country's "moral authority." Yet Obama is simply another in a long line of politicians making promises that could never be kept: it is impossible to regain a moral authority the American empire has never possessed.

The gameplay that came with WA is something I use over and over, cameras/photography, nectarmaking and sim Fu. Also the ability to use the Carter display case to transmorgrify gems and metals into very valuable items you can only get by using the case.
Currently my adventurous sim has homes in all 3 locales and mainly goes for the fishing trips, have love trysts all over the world and having parties with different sims in all 3 houses as she has explored 90% of the tombs.
For me, this ep has had the most replay of all of them.
Edit: The only downsides to WA is the tombs don't reset, which would be nice and the fish have to be sold immediately before returning home as they disappear from the inventory.

The perpetual charm and allure of A Christmas Carol ($20) by Charles Dickens is indisputable. The book was first published in 1843; it was a resounding hit both in England and the United States. Not only was it popular, it was also a phenomenal cultural influence. Many credit this secular Christmas tale with reviving the waning holiday spirit Dickens feared was being lost to Industrialism and modernity. Film versions of the book abound, with a new one coming out almost every year. We all know the story and most of us have a favorite Ebenezer Scrooge we like to get reacquainted with during the holidays (Bill Murray in Scrooged, anyone...anyone?). The original text is darker, bolder, and well worth the read. Not for nothing was Dickens the most popular author of his day, he writes with a singular beauty and strength that will pull you back into the often cruel and always sooty streets of Victorian England. *Editor's Note: Many versions of the book are abridged and watered down. This version includes the full text and some of the original illustrations by John Leech .

How to Organize Apps on Your iPhone
Your iPhone comes with the included apps displayed on the first two Home screens. You may want to rearrange the apps so that the ones you use most frequently are at the top of the Home screen, you may want to group similar apps in a folder, or you may want to change the apps that are in the dock.
As you add new apps, you'll want to arrange them in a way that makes sense to you. You can move apps around on your iPhone and from iTunes.
To organize apps from your iPhone, follow these steps:
Press and hold any app button on your Home screen.
This part is fun, especially if you're new to iPhone. Try it — we'll wait.
Any of the apps that have circled Xs on the upper left corner can be deleted. To delete an app, just tap the circled X.
A message opens asking if you really want to delete that app. Tap the appropriate button: Delete, if you want to delete that app, or Cancel, if you tapped the circled X by mistake.
Don't worry — if you delete an app by mistake, the App Store maintains a copy of all your apps, free or purchased, so you can reinstall it but you could lose data or documents created with the app if they aren't backed up to your computer or iCloud.
The Apple apps that came with your iPhone can't be deleted although you can place ones you don't use in a folder so they're out of sight and some of them may be hidden by turning on.
Touch and drag the app buttons around to arrange them in a way you like, even from one Home screen to another.
The Photos app button is being moved in this example.
To change the four apps that are in the dock, you first have to drag one out, and then you can replace it with another app.
You don't have to have four apps in the dock. If you prefer three or two or none, you can move the buttons out of the dock onto a Home screen. Or you can place up to four folders on the dock instead of single apps.

Adding great looking and robust Polls to your Blog
- Get link
- Google+
Now if you have ever tried Bloggers own polls you will soon realise there are some issues.
1) Polls are not easily inserted into Posts
2) Polls sometimes mysteriously "lose" votes
3) It's hard to style and customise how you polls look
4) You cannot add images to poll options
5) Easy to cheat the polls by cookie clearing and repeat votes.
and probably a whole lot of other reasons.
Now, if you are serious about polls and want a robust, reliable, configurable and fun way to poll your readers then this tutorial is for you. We will show you how to add polls from Polldaddy to either your Blog Posts or Sidebar.
1) First we need to create a free account with Polldaddy. So go here and sign up.
You will then be sent and email to confirm your account.
Once confirmed you will be taken to your PollDaddy Dashboard where you create new polls, edit old polls, and view the results of existing polls.
2) So to create a New Poll, select the Create a New Button and Select Poll.
3) You will now be presented with a New Poll screen. So here is were we define the Poll Question and the various answers.
Here I will create a simple Poll.
If you need more than the default 5 Poll Options, simply click the Add New Answer button.
NOTE: You can add images to your Poll Answers by clicking the Media button next to each poll option.
4) Now we can setup several poll options. These are all optional and the default settings should be OK for most cases.
a) You can set you poll so that users can only select 1 of the available options or can select multiple.
b) You can Randomize the Answer Order so that the poll options appear different each time someone views the poll.
c) You can even allow users to enter their own answers!
d) You can also change how your poll looks. There are several great themes to choose from and you can even create your own custom theme. Also you can select the width of your poll.
Note: Use Narrow or Medium Widths if you intend to put the poll in your Sidebar, Wide for blog posts.
e) There are a number of advance options at the bottom. These allow you to do the following.
- Set a Poll Close Date/Time
- Set the Language
- Decide how your poll results are displayed
- Decide if you want to allow Repeat Votes or if you want to block them
- Decide if you want to allow Comments on the actual poll. (Note: This is not the same as your blog comments. I turn these off as I want people commenting on my blog)
- Allow your poll to be easily shared by others.
5) Now we have set our poll, we click the Create Poll button at the bottom.
6) You will then be presented with a new dialogue box. This is where you get the embed code that you post onto your site.
NOTE: There are a lot of options here but it's easiest to go with the default Javascript Embed code.
Simply copy the code to your clipboard.
7) Now we need to create a new blog post where we will paste our poll code.
NOTE: You can also add the poll to your blogs sidebar. To do this, add a new gadget to your sidebar and select the HTML/Javascript gadget. Then paste the code into the gadget and press save. The poll will appear in your sidebar.
So on your New Post screen paste the code. Give your Post a title and an introduction.
Publish your post and your poll is now posted!
And that's it. Your users can now vote and see the results on screen.
Here is the poll we created. Vote on it to see how the results look.
As mentioned earlier, you can at anytime go back and add new polls or edit your existing ones.
Simply head to your Dashboard here
And you will see your existing polls and can perform various actions.
This tutorial has only scratched the surface of all the poll options. As you can see it's both very simple to setup but also has a lot of complexity if you need it. I strongly suggest you read the Further Reading section below if you want to learn more about the advanced Poll features.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below.

This is no more for Blogger users. It needs WordPress Account.
- 20 March 2013 at 23:24
Just create a free WordPress account. You can still use it one Blogger. It's just the login that's changed. I use it every day on Blogger
- 20 March 2013 at 23:29
Well, I know that. but why should we created a WordPress Account, if we endorses Blogger. Instead of PollDaddy Try out toluna.com its way better than PollDaddy and works super awesome with Blogger. It offers more features and has really amazing Look.
I Would Prefer to go with Toluna because PollDaddy no longer supports open accounts. You need WordPress account. The only reason, Why i Hate it.
And for Toluna, you don't need any WordPress Account :). Seems Win Win Win!
- 21 March 2013 at 00:11
@FosterZone:disqus It's no use for us. People can't vote on toluna without having to register or signup via facebook/twitter etc.
Polldaddy lets anyone vote without having to register.
- 21 March 2013 at 08:16
Yup may be, but now a days everyone has at least Facebook/Twitter account.
- 21 March 2013 at 09:12
Well it offers us nothing that Polldaddy does not already do plus it reduces the likihood that someone will vote. Anyway, you're free to use whatever poll system you like. The majority of large blog sites use polldaddy

You should be able to add this css

width: 500px !important;
where 500px is the width you would like

I borrowed the following problems from MIT open courseware problem sets. (This is the very first problem in the problem set.) I understand what completing the square is, but what does it mean when they say "use translation" and "change of scale". I am unable to solve this as I didn't understand the question. It would be nice if I could get the solution.
By completing the square, use translation and change of scale to sketch:
a) $y = x^2 − 2x − 1$;
b) $y =3x^2 +6x +2$.

Protecting your privacy and personal information is a priority for HMS Employer Solutions (HMS). Our experience in dealing with sensitive information has allowed us to develop a comprehensive privacy and security policy. Our processes fully comply, and often exceed, the privacy and security mandates set forth by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We are committed to keeping sensitive information secure.
We only collect the information necessary to complete our verification review. Any superfluous information is removed from our systems and destroyed. As a general rule, the transfer of Social Security numbers from the employer is prevented by the use of an internal employee identifier. In the event that an employer does not have an appropriate internal employee identifier, the use of Social Security number is restricted to data processing only. This data is not available in our application; call center employees and reviewers do not have access to this information. All documents received are immediately scanned and stored securely. Access to physical documents is restricted. All documents will be securely stored by HMS for the time period defined by each verification review. Upon expiration of the retention period, the documents and any scanned images will be confidentially and securely destroyed onsite by bonded and insured data destruction professionals. A Certificate of Destruction will be provided to the employer.
HMS's computer systems are regulated and secured to meet the exacting standards that are needed to handle sensitive data. Our systems are protected from external attacks by a state of the art firewall and segmented computer networks. HMS's systems contain password policies that ensure passwords are complex enough to be secure, and that they are changed often. Laptops are not used for dependent verification reviews; access to data is restricted to specific users on our internal servers. Backups of our data are kept in an access-controlled vault offsite with a bonded and insured data storage company. Any electronic communication of sensitive data utilizes the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol, the same technology used by many commercial banks. Our IT professionals regularly audit our system logs for any unauthorized use of our systems. In addition, individual workstations used by call center representatives and reviewers have restricted capabilities. These workstations are unable to print, send external e-mail or view external websites.
HMS controls its physical environment with badge entry systems. These systems allow us to only grant access to the areas of the building that are relevant to each employee's position. Our physical security is also enhanced by alarm systems, surveillance cameras, and other methods which cannot be disclosed.
All HMS employees undergo extensive background checks prior to joining our team. Each employee also receives ongoing training and supervision to ensure that he/she is complying with HMS's Security and Privacy Policy.

Happy New Year!
At the beginning of every month, I am offering C&Z readers a new wallpaper to apply on the desktop of your computer, with a food-related picture and a calendar of the current month.
Our calendar for January is a picture of lemon slices I dried in a dehydrator (see these posts on raw buckwheat granola and raw multiseed crackers to know more about my dehydrator episode). I made a big batch of these, and I am keeping them on hand in a jar, to add to stews, riz au lait, and herbal teas.
Instructions to get your calendar are below!
include("/var/www/cnz/blog/include/calendar.inc"); ?>Here's how it works:
1- This link will open a new window (or tab) displaying the right wallpaper image for your screen.
2- Right-click (or ctrl-click for some Mac users) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set as Desktop Background", "Use as Desktop Picture," or something to that effect — the exact wording will depend on the browser you use.
3- If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, you may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose "Fit to screen" as the display mode of your background image.
4- Enjoy!
[Note: Readers of this blog live all around the globe, and I am unable to provide localized versions of the desktop calendar at this point. This is why I've opted for the international standard, by which a large majority of countries abide, and which states that Monday is the first day of the week.]

Les Brown: I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
Les Brown (leader)
Sentimental Journey With Les Brown (Vocalion 1947)
Les Brown (leader),
Jimmy Zito, Don Paladino, Al Muller, Ray Linn (trumpets), Don Boyd, Ray Klein, Dick Gould, Clyde 'Stumpy' Brown (trombones), Steve Madrick, Mark Douglas (alto saxes), Ted Nash, Eddie Scherr (tenor saxes), Butch Stone (baritone sax), Tony Rizzi (guitar), Geoff Clarkson (piano), Bob Leininger (bass), Dick Shanahan (drums).
Composed by Irving Berlin. Arranged by Lloyd 'Skip' Martin.
Recorded: Hollywood, September 16, 1946
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Les Brown had been in the band business since he led his Duke Blue Devils in 1936. When the band returned to Duke University, Brown remained in New York and free-lanced as an arranger. He returned to band leading in 1938 and led a good band that had the great fortune of having Doris Day as vocalist before and after World War II. The band got better and better throughout the 1940s, and eventually became the back-up band for Bob Hope's radio show. This instrumental version of the Berlin standard was heard on one of Hope's shows, and the audience reaction was strong enough for Brown's record label, Columbia Records, to ask Brown to record it. "Look in your vault," was Brown's reaction. Sure enough, Brown had recorded it, but it had never been released. Skip Martin's infectious treatment is still heard all over the world, and was one of the last big band instrumental hits. Brown recorded this arrangement several times over the years, but the original is still the classic version.
