Lt. Al Carbella decided that Taren V was the most blighted planet in the entire blighted district. He was part of an insertion team, which meant that they were dropped into a situation with little backup and uneven odds. After landing behind enemy lines they had battled for almost a week (with no outside help) before reconnecting with League forces.
Now his weary team had been recruited to take the nearest beachhead, which didn't even have the sense--like most beaches--to be pretty or flat and was, in fact, a mountainous mess. He popped his head above the self-dug trench and let off another round of fire at the now retreating Anty troops. Over his left eye, the Heads-Up-Display flashed a yellow circle right in the middle of the beach they had been approaching for the better part of the day. Well, apparently the time had come for an advance. Carbella pulled himself over the top of the trench, his fellow infantry men moving together. To one side, Major Kentar let loose with a battle cry and fired towards the enemy, unleashing a steady stream of depleted uranium shells from the hip. Carbella used his hand-held P2 Pistol to fire off a few highly volatile plasma packets at the enemy troops.
Within a few minutes, his armored boot hit sand and he was on the beach, approaching the yellow dot on his HUD. Carbella laid down a systematic field of fire, driving the already running Anty troops even farther back. A few meters in front of him an Anty was hit directly in the chest by a plasma packet and flew backward, the sand spraying up in golden waves around the dead soldier and steam rose from the fried armor.
Carbella walked carefully forward, letting out short controlled bursts from his pistol to clear a path for his advance. After stepping over the bodies of various sizzled Antys, he reached the top of the dune and found himself looking at the shore. For a second he though that he damn planet had found another way to piss him off by whipping up a storm, pounding the shore with large waves in beat with his blasted headache. He looked closer and saw that it was even worse, to his alarm the thing causing the waves was a hovercraft, disgorging Anty troops like puss from a pimple. Then Carbella heard a low pitched hum. The back of one of the hovercraft fell open and a skimmer, forward cannon blazing, flew out. It was soon followed by a seemingly endless supply of brown and green metal bikes, spitting yellow light and haloed with the sand pushed skyward by their jets. In the corner of his eye, Carbella saw the order to hold. He went down on one knee and pulled a Repeater off his back. As the fast armored hoverbikes swarmed his position, he realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
Centurion Charely Proslin tightened his hands around the control bars of the Antarean Skimmer Bike. The brown and green combat paint streaked in such a way that the vehicle looked fast and the low comforting hum of its hover-drive reassured its driver that it was fast. He strafed the field of retreating League troops, cutting down a line of infantry. Whizzing forward, Proslin kept one hand on the control bar, sending out a barrage of yellow energy packets to stab into the scattering blue and white armored backs. With a whir he pulled up on the control bar and swiveled around. Proslin rejoined the rest of the skimmers, pushing forward together in a tight delta formation that flew across the now secured beach, insuring a safe path for the medium and light infantry. The formation moved like a scourge through the no-man's land, driving away the enemy with powerful and quick bursts of fire. Over the wind, Proslin could just barely hear his squad leader, screaming out of his ear-comm unit.
"Advance forward! Drive these rats for their tunnels. Let's take the battle back to their inner lines."
Leaning into the turn, Proslin swung towards the concentration of ULP troops. He was hit with a powerful wall of air, pushed down from above and forced to slow his vehicle. There was odd sound of latches unlocking. He looked up to see the dim outline of a dropship. Then, directly in his path--so close he had to activate reverse thrusters to stop in time--a set of three battlesuits dropped down. They were trailing wisps of the clouds they had fallen through and and left huge dinosaur footprints as they moved forward. With a series of loud clicks and whirs the battlesuits positioned themselves. They placed their legs in a sumo wrestler-like stance and uncoiled gatling guns from their shoulders, locking them into position. Before Proslin could draw another breath the two skimmers to ether side were blown to pieces in a hail of bullets. One of the battlesuits repositioned its gun, pointing the huge muzzle directly at Proslin's face. He heard the feeder warming back up. As the gun began to rotate, he realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
Sergeant JD Asure laughed with glee as he blew another Anty skimmer to earth-colored bits. What had once been an organized formation pointed directly at the heart of ULP forces was now chaos and Sergeant Asure, more than any other Exo-Commander in his platoon, thrived in chaos. Nothing gave him more pleasure than watching the explosions of skimmers with punctured fuel tanks and enemy infantry blown yards back by the force of his personal arsenal. He walked slowly through the field of battle, the suit swiveling on its waist in service to his own movements as he strafed the sides of the battlefield, driving the Antys farther and farther back.
Asure turned to one side, where the enemy was weakest and scattering before the League's might. Ahead of his squad, he was the first to see the dim outline of an Antarean APC, a purple and green rhombus shooting up sand all around as it hovered across the beach, picking up the ocretreating troops. Relishing the chance to take down a heavy vehicle, Asure flicked a switch to activate missiles, only to discover his suit no longer had an arm. He'd been so focused on the APC that he hadn't noticed the Antarean Crab-Tank that skittered out of the dust to his right. He cried out as a powerful burst of energy from the insectoid maw of the tank disintegrated his suit's legs out from beneath him. As metal crunched into sand and he tilted backwards, he realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
Group-Ascend Case Rawley grimly disintegrated another damn League battlesuit. He never was the type to take joy in harm, but he knew this was a necessity. His duty was made even more important by the reality of the injured being loaded into the APC behind him. Rawley sat square in the middle of the turret mounted atop six legs that propelled the Crab Tank. ULP troops popped out from behind mounds of sand and fired at him, their shells denting his armor. With the weight of experience, Rawley knew that his tank's slow firing energy cannon wouldn't be a good weapon against the small spread out group of men. Taking a deep breath, he relaxed his mind and let his thoughts flow through the neural jack behind his head. With a thought, a dozen small drones, each looking like miniature versions of his own tank, unlatched themselves from his vehicles's underside and legs, dropping to the ground and uncurling small legs and plasma guns. They scattered out before his tank like a green and red blanket, each firing far faster than his powerful pulse cannon ever could, forcing any Leaguer that didn't want his head blown off to stay down. At other strategic key points in the battlefield he saw brother tanks doing the same, covering the now retreating APCs. They were forcing the League battlesuits to back away, stumbling backwards in a slow and clumsy manner quite unlike the fluid movement of his own tank.
His tank's blood-red legs stabbed into the ground, taking back the territory the Empire had lost to the League's battlesuits. Ground dominance was what the Crab-Tanks and their drones were built for, and dominate they did. Few ground troops could stand up to a Fist of fully deployed tanks.
The inside of his cockpit suddenly blinked red and a low pitched alarm klaxon went off. Rawley's sensors had detected incoming aerial fighters. The drones turned their little guns upward, trying to act as a point defense system for his tank. To his shock, he watched as one drone, occupied while it was tracking incoming enemy ordnance, was tackled by a League infantry-man, who then shot a hole clean through the machine. At the same time, a Sword fighter, it's long forward fangs cutting through the sky like knives, blew away another drone with a hail of bullets. In no time, all the drones had been picked off. Rawley heard a series of urgent tones from his computer as the Swords began to lock on to him for missile launch. He heard five confirmed locks when the Crab tank to his right disappeared in fire. When his computer proclaimed that it detected incoming enemy fire, Rawley realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
Nothing prettier than a set of Anty tanks going up like roman candles, thought Lead Pilot Charley Westell, or at least there would be nothing like it if the smell were to actually filter through his Sword's anti-septic cockpit. He came around with his group to strafe the Crab-Tanks a second time and was immensely satisfied to see another tank bloom into flames. He felt the slightest, smallest, remote bit of sympathy for his poor targets. How could they possibly contend with the power and united might of his Sword wing? On his signal, the group reformed, riding each other's wings. The Antys were reforming, tanks re-positioning in an attempt to get a bead on his flyers and infantry men assembling and equipping anti-air weaponry. His squadron of twelve fighters, now in a diamond formation, pulled up into the air--rapidly gaining altitude.
With a half-twist that made the sun gleam off their silver wingtips and long forward slats, they flipped one at a time, each unloading a set of missiles just outside the range of enemy weapons. Westell chuckled as he bombarded them with explosives. His group turned, gunning thrusters, and faced the remaining Antys standing between the fighters and the APCs. The group laid into the Antys, weapons free in order to eliminate whatever threat the enemy had left in them. The beach below them lit up with explosions and sand flew so far up into the air that it brushed the bottom of his fighter.
The air turned choppy and scattered the Swords as two of the wingmen to Westell's south-east turned into fireballs. Following instinct, Westell pulled his fighter up, moving out of range of any ground troops. He could not have been more wrong. As he turned towards the ocean, he saw an Antarean Damocles Drone Controller Vessel rise from under the water, dripping rain drops as it unleashed a storm of Iret drones: forward-swept wings, a small energy gun and two rectangles filled with air-to-air torpedoes. Westell pulled to the side to avoid a mid-air collision and re-formed with two of his wingmen. They used finely tuned bursts of gunfire to pick the drones out of the sky. In front of him, he saw a banking Sword explode as half-a-dozen drones concentrated fire on its cockpit. In union, the group swiveled and pinned Westell with red eyes. He fired two missiles, which made a Y in the sky as they each took down a cluster of drones. For a second Westell thought he might be turning the tide against the drones.
A red light flashed in front of his face and the Sword's right wing was cut off by a brilliant ruby energy beam. He felt his engine on that side falter. His fighter began to fall. He looked up as the sun disappeared behind the Damocles, then his Sword lazily flipped in the air. As the ground rushed up to meet him, Westell realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
Tertiary Node H2506, also known as Mavis Tayler, followed her orders--terminate League air fighters--with extreme prejudice. She smiled fiercely as her drone-grouping, six medium-sized Iret drones, swarmed a Sword and cut it to pieces with their precise and powerful focused energy arrays. The little trap command had set worked all too well as the League's aerial support found themselves in entirely the wrong position to counter her host-ship. Red beams cut into the silver bodies and small torpedoes arced across the beach as the enemy's Swords fell from the sky. The drones swiveled in mid-air to track fighters attempting a fly-by. Tayler shifted slightly in the interface chair as a information flew up circuits, through the ship, and into her second spine. Her mind carefully manipulated the drones via neural impulses, each move she made was interpolated by the ship's Artificial Intelligence and relayed through hyperspace at five times the speed of light. Though the room she was in was completely dark, she wasn't aware of it. Her view of the battlefield was piped directly through her brainstem and into her visual cortex. The Total Sensory Interface presented Tayler with a mesh of visual data from the drone controller and sensory data from the drones, with an enormously fast computer filling in the blanks. A tactical display hovered above everything and the status of her drones floated in the upper right corner of her vision. Her tactics training came back to her in a flash and her drones clustered around a Sword, hitting it with laser fire from all directions. Data took the place of a visual examination of the event as explosions obscured sight.
Tayler twitched painfully as a spark of bio-neural feedback arced across her second spine. One of the drones was somehow damaged and its failed circuits were sending a digital mishmash up her interface line, which turned it into painful electric feedback. Squirming, she focused in on the center of the TSI, forcing her vision to zoom in on a drone falling to the ground in a shower of sparks. It hit the ground with a painful shock that distributed itself around her nervous system. Tayler shifted her point of view to see her attacker. Far above her Damocles, a USN Command-Destroyer was descending from space, lancing down with fire as it forced its way into the atmosphere.
The ship's massive weapons array was wreaking havoc with Antarean forces. Heavy gatling guns turned their attention to her drones and began to swiss-cheese them one by one. The electric bio-feedback hit her spine with increasing frequency and power as her drones fell. She tried to disconnect as she watched the League Destroyer turn its attention to her ship, but it was too late. Feedback was burning its way into her spine with increasing power and frequency as her drones fell. Somewhere a barrage hit the safety system and the electricity pumping into her brain increased exponentially, as did the pain. Brain-death felt near. One huge missile, half the size of her ship, unlatched itself from the bottom of the destroyer. The last thing to go through her head before she lost consciousness was the realization that she wanted to be anywhere but right were she was.
Senator-General Jack Manchester was quite pleased. Of course, if you listened to his detractors, Manchester, elected to a political position because of his military prowess and appointed to a military position because of his political prowess, spent quite too much time being pleased with himself. Especially considering how few of his recent military engagements had a "pleasing" outcome for the United League of Planets. However, this time he actually had reason to be happy, he was winning. There had been a short moment of worry when the Antareans had launched a number of those drone controller ships from underwater to cover an infantry retreat. They had begun to demolish his air support and he had needed to bring his ship out of orbit and into the atmosphere to save his squadrons. He had done so most effectively. The unfortunate side of that was, while they were technically able to enter atmospheres, United Space Navy Destroyers didn't really do so with any sort of skill. They flew into a planet's atmosphere just about the same way they did anything else: brute force. His Rhapsody-class Destroyer shoved air out of its way in large waves and hit the lower atmosphere with a flaming belly flop. Unfortunately changes in the movement of the ship were coming so fast that the inertial dampeners could barely compensate and Manchester was being rattled with such force (as was the rest of the crew) that he felt as if his teeth were going to fall out. He waved a hand elegantly, something difficult to do while the ship felt as if it was falling apart around you, and ordered them to keep the ship steady.
As the atmosphere thickened around them and the ship's speed decreased, the shaking slowly stopped. Soon the destroyer was casting its enormous shadow over the battlefield. League soldiers, rallied by the sight, cheered loudly. At least Machester imagined they did, he couldn't hear them through the ship. On the other hand, the Antareans looked up with fear in their eyes and ran towards shelter and heavy armor.
The turrets on the underside and wingtips of Manchester's ship swiveled to track the fleeing Antareans. The crew applauded and hooted as one enemy vehicle after another went up in flames. Command had wanted him to split his troops, to send almost half his contingent to the Fenril system. They had a small base there that was worried about possible Antarean attack. Manchester was sure that he could clean up here first and then move on to Fenril. It looked like he was right. The planet would soon be theirs.
Though he had come from a long line of gentlemen officers, Manchester's emotional state was approaching something akin to glee as he watched his mighty vessel's guns cut down Antarean resistance, of all shapes and sizes, like so much wheat. His Communications Officer, a pretty young thing that he had handpicked as much for her looks as skill, turned towards him and caught his eye. Glancing down at the arm display, he saw an incoming signal from the sector's Fleet Admiral. The admiral must have heard of how well the fight was going on this planet and was calling to offer congratulations. Keying open the channel, he was shocked by the scowling face of the Admiral, glowering up from the holo-screen. Manchester began to say how he had the situation so well in hand when he was interrupted.
"Manchester!" yelled the Admiral. "What in the name of all that is holy is your ship doing in the Taren system?"
Manchester tried to explain but was only able to sputter before the Admiral curtly interrupted him again.
"Do you realize that the Fenril system is about to be overrun? Do you know why? I'll tell you why! Because the contingent of troops that you were supposed to send never went!"
The Admiral paused to let it sink in. "I'll have your stars for this!" The Admiral's spittle dotted the image, then he cut the communication off.
Senator-General Jack Manchester, soon to be Senator Jack Manchester, and doubtless soon after that simply Jack Manchester, slid down into his chair. Now oblivious of the explosions and victory outside, he realized that he wanted to be anywhere but right where he was.
A minimal force was meeting with surprising success in the Fenril system, a key point in the sector. In a move of what must have been desperation, the ULP leaders had ordered protecting fleets from other systems to send the bulk of their forces to engage the Fenril attack force. League troops had left the Taren system right before Facilitators hacked the interdiction system online. However, the Antarean attack on Fenril would fail, 87.6329% of Antarean fleets would be destroyed.
All was going as planned.
If Fay (as its technicians called FAI, the Fleet Artificial Intelligence) had hands, it would have rubbed them together. However, FAI did not have any hands, nor any limbs at all, at least in the conventional sense. If you asked the Antarean techs who were responsible for the security and upkeep of FAI, which you were not allowed to do, they would have claimed it had limbs in a far more metaphorical sense. Specifically, tendrils. Huge, long, electronic tendrils that stretched wherever any Antarean vehicle larger then a bike could be found. FAI itself would have had a simpler response (though you wouldn't be allowed to ask it either): I fight, therefore I am.
FAI had been keeping a very close eye (more like a large bank of sensors, really) on Sector U0547, which contained Fenril, Taren and a number of other systems. FAI had been fed the dossiers of all the commanders the ULP had sent there and had manipulated the events, and the commanders, exactly to its liking. If FAI had emotions, it suspected it would be taking joy in its work at this moment. Fenril was indeed a key system, but not in the way the League thought. If it had been human, one might say it had a special kind of insight, since FAI was not human, it was just good programming. Fenril was key in that it had a great deal of resources and ship creation facilities, it was also key in that it was in the center. The ULP Admiral in charge of the sector played a good deal of chess. The center was valuable to him, in fact it was the most valuable place on the board. In its early years, FAI had played a great deal of chess, and a great deal of Go, among other things. The center is not always the most important point, as its enemy was soon to learn. The sides and corners can be just as important, if not more so, than the center. If FAI had been built to empathize it might have felt bad that the Admiral was going to learn his lesson in such a harsh manner... then again, it might not.
FAI sent orders out to the 10th and 18th Fists to begin their attack on the now easy targets on the rim of the sector. There was a 98.9996% probability that Antarean forces would take the entire rim of the sector. A 84.9749% probability that enough Antarean vessels would remain to close in on the set of systems farther in and close a tight circle around the (now) ULP controlled core of the sector. There was a 99.9999% chance that the Antareans would then control the entire sector within two weeks. FAI calculated hat after the battle for the sector was over, there would be a 32.1587% chance that there would be enough scrap metal left from the ULP fleet to create even a single battleship. If FAI had a face it would have smiled. In a week, the United League of Planets would collectively be wishing they were anywhere but right where they were.

The missing newborn baby, only five-days-old, was found in a duffle bag outside an Iowa gas station in the cold. The massive man-hunt for the baby started when the parents woke up to find Kayden Powell missing from his bassinet, which was in the same room with his sleeping parents in their Beloit, Wisconsin home, according to Fox News on Feb. 7.
There was no signs of forced entry in the house and the police had very little to go on to find this baby. Approximately 70 law enforcement officers from local, state and federal units joined in on the search for this tiny baby boy.
When the family went to sleep on Thursday night, the last time the baby was seen when a woman left the house at about 1:30 a.m. and headed home to Colorado. Police in Benoit got a hold of her on her cell phone, she was on the highway in Iowa. Police in Iowa met up with the woman, but she was cleared as the baby wasn't with her, or was he?
Wisconsin newborn missing: 5-day-old Infant taken from bassinet as family slept
It is very coincidental that the baby was found at a gas station in Iowa, the state where this woman had pulled off the highway and waited for the Iowa police to come and interview her at the request of the Beloit Police Department.
Did this woman ditch little Kayden before the Iowa police arrived at the spot she was told to wait for them? The woman was arrested by the Iowa police because she had an outstanding warrant in Texas, but she was not arrested at the time for anything to do with the missing baby. All the police would say is that they "have a person of interest" today and they have mentioned that this is a woman. Was this the same woman who was visiting the parents of the baby and left the house at 1:30 a.m.? That is not known at this time.
Thankfully the baby, who was "swaddled" in little blankets inside a tote bag, was fine. Luckily the police chief in an Iowa town was in the area and heard the baby crying and got him safely out of the elements. If he had not found the baby in the cold, there is no telling how long the infant would have lasted in the freezing weather. More to come on this story.

Hide Your Wife, Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Gayness!
Run and tell this: YouTube celebrity Antoine Dodson is "no longer into homosexuality" after becoming a "Black Hebrew Israelite."
Before Sweet "Ain't nobody got time for that" Brown there was Antoine Dodson, who became an Internet star in 2010 after he was interviewed for a news story in Huntsville, AL about the attempted rape of his sister. His outrageous warning — "Hide your wife, hide your kids, hide your husband 'cause they're raping everybody" — became a viral Autotuned sensation.
"I have to renounce myself, I'm no longer into homosexuality I want a wife and family, I want to multiply and raise and love my family that I create," he recently wrote on Facebook. "I could care less about the fame and fortune, I've giving all that up to know the true history of the bible. For I am the True Chosen Hebrew Israelite descendant of Judah. And as True Israel I know that there are certain things we just can't do. And I totally understand that now. I don't need a Mercedes Benz, I don't need a big house in Beverly Hills all I need is the Most High and my family (Israel). I have been awaken by the great and so should you. Let's be delivered from the wickedness of the world and live the way we should. The Most High bless all and have a beautiful evening. Israel wake up and take full power of who you are. I'm ready are you?"
Antoine also did a Bible-beating video chat with HuffPost Live. "It's not praying the gay away because it can be lifted," he says. "If you really want to change your life, and just get rid of it, then you can. And that's what I'm doing. I'm not saying I don't have the memories of my past, because I do, and I see it everyday in my mind. But I'm trying to move away from that and become a better person. That's all."
As for his fierce style and flamboyant traits? Antoine, who describes his gay past as "dumb," explains that he's always been attracted to the "art of a woman" and mistakenly "tried to actually be that instead of being with that." Ah, well that explains it.
Watch the HuffPost Live interview below and stick around for a flashback of gayer times.

There are several misconceptions out there about how writers actually work. One of them is that a person simply waits for inspiration to hit them and then goes to work creating their masterpiece. This may actually work for a lucky few, but for most writers, it doesn't come down to inspiration. It comes out of habit; one that any aspiring writer should form as soon as possible.
Developing a writing habit works for a number of reasons. The first is that it gets you set into a kind of routine that lets your brain know it's time to write. While hard to get into at first, once a rhythm is created some writers find it easier to work when they write at the same time each day. Now this time can vary for writers depending on their schedule and preference. First thing in the morning may work for some while writing into the middle of the night may be better for others. By creating a writing habit, your brain anticipates the work you are about to do. This makes the second reason much easier.
Uninterrupted writing time is another reason to create a writing habit. In order for your writing habit to be effective, you need to block off a certain period of time where you can focus solely on your project at hand. Once you pick your scheduled writing time, remind yourself that this is just for writing. Don't check your e-mail, or Facebook, or Twitter, or text your friend to find out what you'll be doing later. This is simply your writing time. If you live with family or roommates, be sure to tell them what your writing schedule is and how important it is for them to leave you to it. A writer can't get much work done if they are constantly starting and stopping every few minutes. Your writing habit should allow you to write uninterrupted throughout your whole session which will allow for a better flow of your material and a faster completion time.
By sticking to your writing habit you're also forcing yourself to write, even when you have nothing to write about. It's easy to write when inspiration hits you, but often writers get to the point where they hit a wall. Inspiration evades them, they've written themselves into a corner, or they draw a complete blank on what they want to say. This doesn't mean they stop writing. As a writer yourself, you need to learn how to push through these blocks and continue writing. Forcing yourself to write whatever comes to mind, even if it has nothing to do with the topic you're working on can have its benefits. You may not use the material you initially write, but it can always lead you to something else that you can flesh out later on. The point is to keep writing. You can always edit later.
When starting a writing habit, it can be difficult to focus, allow yourself the full time you scheduled, or stay on topic. And that's okay. Your goal in the beginning is simply to get used to writing in regular intervals. Once your body and brain become accustomed to that routine, you can start honing in your skills on a particular topic or project you've been meaning to tackle. Sometimes you may need to adjust your schedule. Life happens, and you shouldn't put off living it because of your writing. That's okay. Just be sure to make up the time later on in the day and get back on schedule the next time around.

In the 2009 remake of Star Trek, Spock, in keeping with his flawless logic, quotes Sherlock Holmes, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." The debates Tuesday in Las Vegas revealed quite a number of truths. The most important and obvious truth is that Ron Paul is the only candidate that can stand a chance of being elected against Obama in 2012. If Nevada's debate proved anything, it is that every other hopeful has so much baggage that he or she is an open target for the liberal press. Following is an analysis of how each candidate stacks up.
Mitt Romney: Tuesday's debate could have easily been dubbed The Rick & Mitt Show. Much of the debate time was spent by Romney and Perry going back and forth on who has the strongest ties to the federal government and more illegal immigrants on staff. The fact is that Romney is Obama. They have virtually the same take on health care, the same financial supporters, the same corporate ties and the same political agenda. Why go through all that swearing in and cabinet selection just to get the same old policies? Mitt offers nothing to independent voters or to the disenfranchised Obama supporters.
Rick Perry: Perry made one truthful statement in the debate, which was that he is definitely not Barack Obama. No, Perry is George Bush! Been there, done that, sorry Rick. During brief moments of lucidity, Perry spends most of his time talking about ways to spend more money in order to fix a broken economy. Instead of building a billion dollar fence across Texas, he advocates utilizing sophisticated drones and more troops or border patrol agents. Doesn't seem to be very cost effective either way.
Herman Cain: Cain's ties to the Koch brothers and the Federal Reserve promise more of the same failed economic policies. While his success in the market place certainly is impressive it appears to have been done with lots of elbow work, both grease and rubbing. Cain does not appear to have the level of sophistication required to handle the tough economic and foreign policy issues that will confront him immediately should he take office. His ignorance of foreign policy, as revealed in his statement that the Iraq war was beneficial, as well as his staunch conservative beliefs, will kill him in the presidential runoff. While Cain may have the Koch end of the Tea Party in hand, Paulians and fiscal conservatives who see the bigger picture will not support him. He certainly won't garner the support of independents and disgruntled Democrats either. With American (and global) sentiment running high against corporatism and war profiteering, and the grassroots now being so divided, Cain is in no position to defeat a more liberal contender.
Michele Bachmann: Bachmann cannot beat Obama, period. One of the issues she shares in common with most of the other contenders is her strict support of Israel. This is one of the sacred cows of this particular party. Make no mistake, much of this is superstitious and fanatical, as if Israel were some sort of good luck charm. One interesting point in the debate was when the recent exchange of Palestenian terrorists for Israeli prisoners was referenced. Nearly all of the nominees stated that they would have a "no negotiating with terrorists" policy which went directly against Israel's latest decision. Ron Paul was the only one who pointed out that Reagan had once made a similar exchange, which appeared to support Netanyahu's course of action. Paul also stated that if all foreign aid were to stop, Israel would benefit the most since America gives more military aid to her enemies than to Israel herself. Paul also contends that America's aid compromises Israel's sovereignty and independence. In fact, on several occasions, Paul has advocated for Israel to be able to do what she needs in order to defend her best interests in opposition to other political voices. In Paul's view, the relationship with Israel is one between two sovereign, friendly entities and not paternalistic in nature. The one way to recognize this as political rhetoric is to realize that the voices who declare Israel needs protection are silent when it comes to countries like Zimbabwe, Darfur and other "insignificant" nations. Ron Paul's non-interventionist policy allows for private, humanitarian aid with fewer government regulations whenever and wherever necessary.
Newt Gingrich: Talk about baggage...
Rick Santorum: Ibid Bachmann.
Ron Paul: Despite his full media blackout, Dr. Paul continues to gain momentum, especially on the internet. He is the only presidential candidate, bar none, who has a full understanding of the complex issues facing our nation and the world as seen in the attached video. His views are the most Christian, the most humane and the most practical of any other presidential hopeful. Although he may sound like a broken record with his "end the Fed" rhetoric, he is fully aware of the corporatist/political connection now driving America over the brink. His understanding of this threat goes beyond that of many liberals who call for more government regulations on businesses when this works directly in favor of major corporations who can afford to comply (or defy), thereby forcing out competition. Paul also understands that one of America's largest industries and employers today is government. This is especially problematic since the government produces no commodity and generates no real "revenue". This, combined with the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people and entities receiving some type of government assistance, creates an economic "black hole". It is this level of understanding, along with a grasp of the principles of Natural Law, Freedom and free market economics that are required if America is to survive. When it comes to a basic understanding of these principles, Ron Paul has the doctorate.

Lamp grade comes in two consistencies. The most popular is PEA, it is the consistency of small pea gravel. Also there is ROCKS size, which is larger chunks than the pea size, from 3/8" to 1 1/4". PEA size is commonly used in smaller lamps like those on miner's caps. ROCKS are usually used in the larger lamps, like car lamps, and railroad lamps. If you need carbide for your sight smoker, the pea size is what is commonly used for that purpose.

Madame Jusserand, Wife of
French Envo3r, Abolishes
"Free Lunch Route."
By International News Service.
'ASmKGTON. Jan. 9. Madame Jus
serand.. wife of the French embassador
and new doyenne of the diplomatic corps,
has decreed the abolition of tho diplo
matic "free lunch route," which is the
undiplomatic designation of that in
discriminate and uncensorcd list of host
esses from whom tho attaches of em
bassies and legations have been wont to
accept luncheon, dinner and .dance Invi
tations. Henceforth there will be a rigid adher
ence to diplomatic and social lines by the
young diplomats who have entered too
much into the spirit of our democratic
institutions and prone to those entertain
ments where the spirit of conviviality
led them.
The soesip in diplomatic circles is that
there has been not only a. weakening of
discipline, but that the younrr bachelor
set, not provided with the aniplo funds
of the heads of legations, have found in
tho bountiful hOBpitallty of Washington
menna whereby they have been able-' to
i piece out their meager incomes by pav
ing; what otherwise would bo spent at
hotels and restaurants Cor food and
Moreover, there has latterly been a
hint it can scarcely be designated a
scandal yet that one or two of tho
ybunn: bachelors have not been averse to
accepting an honorarium for lending
their presence to functions launched by
certain aspiring young matrons in the
capital who seek to soar by hitching
their wagons to a social star.
Included in the diplomatic set are
many young men of piomlnont European
families, not a few of whom bear ttcII-
known titles.
Madame Jusserand has decreed that
promiscuous dining out by tho young
diplomats does not comport with the dig
nity of their rank, therefore, In the
future their Eoclal activities, unless they
wlslD to incur the displeasure of tho so
cial head of tho corps, arc to be re
stricted to diplomatic functions and such
entertainments -as are given by the rec
ognized members of tho socially elect of
There is nothing for the young dip
lomats to do but bow their heads to the

THE m GASP
Porte Issues Circular That
Allies Must Accept Peace
Proposals by End of Week
or Take Consequences.
Russian Black Sea Fleet Mobi
lizing to Take Part in Nav
al Demonstration to Scare
the Moslems.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 9. The
portc, according to oflicial an
nouncement, has sent a circular
to the Turkish embassadors
ahroad, intimating that unless the allies
,acccpt Turkey's peace iproposals by the
ond of tho week, the Ottoman delegates
will bo iuvitod to return to Constanti
nople immediately. The circular adds:
"Whatever happens, the porto is de
termined to maiutain its attitudo with
regard to Adrianople and' the Aegean
islands, in view of the fact that sacri
fices made in other directions have
reached the extreme limit."
The foreign embassadors conferred
for two hours at. tho Austrian embassy
today and agreed upon the form of rep
resentation to bo addressed to the portc
concerning the cession of Adrianople.
The task has been entrusted to the
Austrian embassador, Count Do Palhi
vicini, as dean of the diplomatic corps.
Tho general opinion here, however,
is that any attempt by Europe to
coerce Turkey into ceding Adrianople,
oven iC supported by a naval demonstra
tion, is doomed to failure, becausp pub
lic opinion would Jiot tolerate any gov
ernment including this point.
LONDON. Jan. ?. Official news re
ceived by tho Bulgarian delegation de
scribes the situation at Adrianople as
desperate. Several soldiers, who deserted
and succeeded in reaching the headquar
ters of tho allies, say tho town is In its
last gasp. Provisions aro so scarco that
the military authorities havo requisi
tioned nil the food possessed even by
private individuals and aro making only
one distribution, comprising a half ra
tion, dally.
Conditions, have been rendered graver
by the great number of sick, who over
flow the hospitals, where the attendance
Is inadequate. Tho death rato Is very
high. Tho Bulgarians have allowed medi
cines and Red Cross workers to enter
under the escort of a Bulgarian detach
ment. The commander of tho fortress has de
clared that he would rather sco all die
of starvation than surrender tho town,
and all the citizens who can aro endeav
oring to escape. Tho Bulgarians believe
that even independently of any action the
powers may take the question of Adrian
ople will soon be solved.
Must Agree First.
It is understood that Constantinople has
accepted the views of Rcchad l'asha, who
recently asked to bo authorized to rc
convoko tho .conference, he being presi
dent for tho next sitting. Tho difficulty
now lies in tho determination of tho al
lies not to participate unices they are
notified in advance what Turkey Intends
to propose Thoy do not wish to revive
the discussion of unacceptable terms, but
desire a certainty that Turkey is ready
to cede what has been pronounced as
tho Irreducible minimum of tho allies
Adrianople after whluli it will bo possi
ble to discuss other portions of tho fron
tier Hno.
In other words, the allies do not wish
to play into Turkey's hands by re-entor-Ing
tho -conference room without a pro
gramme which may lend to tho dcllnlte
conclusion of peaco this time. Det'oro
tho meeting tho Turks and allies must
have unofficially agreed to the main
points of tho territorial clause of the
treaty, so that official ratification of those
agreements can bo bad in conference.

placed today before the house merchant
marine' committee investigating tho al
leged trust.
The statement was in the form of a
cable from the foreign agent of the
, Princo line, who cabled the company's
representative here on the question. It
did not agree with the opinion of Torenzo
Daniels, agent in this country for the
Lamport & Holt company, who said he
thought it had terminated.

Mr. Daniels acknowledged that con
tracts were made by his company and
that some contracts were made con

As to the steel corporation, he said,
the contracts were spcclllc, not continu
ing. The rates to be charged, he de
clared, were Jixed abroad, not In New'
Tork. The freight rat,cs varied, ho said,
from week to week, according to the
market; but, he added, that there was
no discrimination in favor of any ship

When letters wero read from the
Amerlcnn Locomotive company and from

boon discriminated against In rates, Mr.
Daniels vigorously denied It.

LONDON, Jan. 0- Americans who con
template a visit to london no doubt will
be surprised to learn that there 13 a
flourishing school in the Bloomsbury dis
trict devoted exclusively to-the-instruction
ofAmcrlestns In tho intricacies of tho
true English accent and phraseology.
This Jondon school, for teaching ac
cent la a new idea, and is entirely the
product of English Ingenuity. Its con
siderable success since it was first
opened last May has established it as
a familiar institution to , Americans
visiting this country. Even they, wltli
their "hustling" methods, can show
nothing in thpir country more strictly
up to date Cor mooting tho. demands of
tho hour.
According to the steel engraved re
port and prospectus issued i by tho "col
lege," nearly two hundred Americans,
mostly women, have graduated during
tho past summer after taking the' full
course, and they can now walk-and
talk and otherwise conduct themselves
in the truo London fashion, so that .they
c:an pass in any gathering without being
conspicuous. On tho arrival , of - ovury
transatlantic steamship these pamphlets,
together with enthusiastic testimonials
and a schedule of terms, are posted to
all Amorican guosts registered at the
leading hotel's.
O. U. Bean, writer and financier from

on a business mission last week, was so
Impressed by the letter-press received by
him from the neAV school that he promptly

care a rap what kind of language they
use so long aa they can make them-'
selves understood. They arc too husy
to bother with frills. But for womou

bettor than a course In tills school dur

of New York and Senator Cul- HR

tho prcaldcnl-clect again declared that

It has nothing to do with the cabinet. HWfl

"This was a somewhat overlapping Wis

Yizkor: Le-korot kehilat Ravitsh, (Jerusalem, 1962). This town in central Poland with 21,398 inhabitants in 2004 in the Greater Poland Voivodeship (since 1999) and previously in Leszno Voivodeship (1975-1998) is the capital of Rawicz powiat. Normal 0 The principal industry was the manufacture of snuff and cigars. Trade involved grain, wool, cattle, hides, and timber. The first settlement of Jews in Rawicz dates from 1639. In 1648 complaints lodged against Jewish merchants resulted in their expulsion. They soon returned but were expelled again in 1674. By 1698, a kahal existed for the 12 families residing there that received a Freibrief (letter of privileges) in 1719. A chevra kaddisha was founded in 1728 and the first rabbi appointed in 1755. In 1774, a bet midrash was founded. A synagogue was built in 1783. 35 families lived there in 1739. After a fire in Leszno (1790) many refugees arrived including Rabbi Akiva Eger, who lived there for one year. The community had 198 families lived there in 1797. By 1835 401 families (1574 Jews) were about 50% of the total population. A new synagogue built in 1889 reflected the community at its economic zenith. The principal industries were snuff and cigar manufacture and grain, wool, cattle, hides, and timber trade. Jewish population declined to 363 in 1905 due to WWI and anti-Semitism that induced immigration. 15 remained in 1933. The Jewish cemetery and synagogue were destroyed by the Nazis during WWII. [June 2009]
CEMETERY: The original 16th century Jewish cemetery for Rawitsch in Sierakowo, a small village outside of the town, is located on ul. Podgorna on a hill. The wealthiest Jews were buried on the hill facing the town. Following WW II, only the gate remained with the words of Samuel 2.7 written in Hebrew and German. Sometime after 1960, the gate was destroyed. A small heap of stones from a few tombstones still remained in 1994. See Sierakowo. The new Jewish cemetery has no remains. [June 2009]

The earliest known Jewish community dates from the beginning of the 18th century. 1921 Jewish population was 139 (1.5%). R. Akiba Eiger, Gluckmann, and Idel Mayer lived here. The unlandmarked Conservative and Progressive/Reform cemetery was established 18th century with last Jewish burial date 1936. The isolated suburban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all with no wall, fence, or gate. The pre-and post-WWII size is 1.5 ha. No gravestones are visible.

Now her paints are dry
And I looked outside
At the corner boys
Hey, oh, where'd you go?
I don't know
I went to see your pictures
I spread them across the floor
So this is where they are shown
They're probably saying to you
"If you keep it up you'll be born"
But you will never listen
I'll bet
Burnt out grass
Scorched by the sun
The buildings remain
We will beat them all to dust
I'll bet
Pulled from a headless shell
That blinked on and off hotel
Now the nameless dwell
They hold your key and turn your knob
I'll bet
Would you say hello to my mom?
Would you pay a visit to her?
She was an artist just as you were
Would've introduced you to her
She would take me out on Sundays
We'd go laughing through the garbage
She'd repaired legs like a doctor
On the kitchen chairs we sat on
She was a unhappy just as you were
Unhappy just as you were
Unhappy just as you were
Unhappy just as you were

Listen children to a story
that was written long ago
Bout a kingdom on a mountain
and the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure,
buried deep beneath the stone
And the valley people swore
they'd have it for their own.
So go ahead and hate your neighbor,
go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgment day
But on the bloody morning after,
one tin soldier rides away.
So the people from the valley
sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom,
with our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain,
all the riches buried there.
Now the valley cried with anger,
Mount your horses, draw your swords
And they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just rewards
Now they stood beside the treasure,
on the mountain, dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
Peace on earth was all it said.

I agree with you and would like to add that just believe in God to guide your way and if you discover any problem in the tenure i think you should always take help from blessed individuals like Shikoba who can guide your way out of trouble and put you on the right path.

Who could forget the Polaroid camera, one of the most innovative technologies of the 80's? Polaroid camera's filled everyone with joy by producing instant photos that developed right before our very eyes. Capturing the moment much like digital camera's do today, the Polaroid brand brought memories to life and paved the way for the digital era.
Fast forward to 2014, and the Polaroid brand is back and better than ever!
On the Ball Marketing, a company that as their website suggests, helps others "Sell more Stuff," is a part of this newly launched concept, called "Polaroid Fotobar."
Led by Steve Nudelberg, the (On the Ball) company leverages relationships, streamlines sales processes, amplifies social media campaigns, and in a few words – just goes out and makes stuff happen. Recently, On the Ball partnered with serial entrepreneur Warren Struhl to start the Polaroid Fotobar," where customers can have digital photos professionally printed in a variety of formats. Photos can be printed on Canvas, metal, and yes - even bamboo! Not tech savvy? Simply bring your smart phone, camera, or even your access credentials to an online photo album and allow the "Fototenders" to help you create amazing photos you can hang, place, or gift to others.
Below are various excerpts from a recent interview with Nudelberg, where he discussed this amazing retail concept.
This concept seems so simple - yet it creates very complex, tangible memories designed to the exact desires of the customer – how did this idea become reality?
Nudelberg: Everyone is taking photos with their phones, and when asking a random sample of people, what they do with their favorite photos, they all said the same thing: Nothing. An after saying that, they all expressed a sort of sadness. In fact most will admit that its has been years since they updated their family photo walls at home of office. We felt that we could help people unlock and enjoy their memories.
Was there a certain type of consumer in mind when this concept was in its incubation period? On the surface, it lends itself to someone less tech-savvy that may need help taking photos from digital devices and turning them into something more tangible – or is that a poor assumption?
Nudelberg: Actually is was pretty universal and what we have seen is multi generational acceptance, such as kids, parents and grandparents all enjoying the experience.
The flagship location just opened in Las Vegas, which has to be very exciting. Two part question.
1 – Any plans for further expansion locally in South Florida or in other markets within the USA?
Nudelberg: Vegas is store #5, and we have aggressive plans to be in as many neighborhoods as quickly as possible.
2 – On the topic of Vegas - What is the best story you've heard about someone trying to create a memory that would have been in line with the debauchery that ensued in the movie "The Hangover?"
Nudelberg: Too early to say, although I can say what happens in Vegas doesn't have to stay in Vegas anymore.

Hard difficulty, ALL Achievements.
This mission requires you to quickly build, defend and attack all at the same time. Great practice for a terran player to learn the building liftoff and land mechanic.
At the start you can easily just cloak your banshee's and destroy everything in your path. Make sure you target the pylons to deactivate nearby turrets and buildings aswell as attack anti air protoss units like the stalker. The computer assaults your base with a few units but a siege tank with both upgrades (or atleast the weapon damage) will make short work of them.
You will need some anti-air later as banshee's can only attack ground units, so build a few wraiths and have marines supporting your air units while the siege tanks support your marines from ground forces.
If you can throw in a few science vessel's/raven's or SCV's to periodically repair your air units, remember that cloaking uses a lot of energy so deactivate it when not attacking and assault the enemy in short bursts.
Pretty straight forward mission, you can actually finish it faster than I did as I wasn't sure how much resistance I would encounter in the last base, but it was a pushover with the number of units I had.
Good Luck.

GPS Hiking Tracks: Carburn Park
I got out yesterday to record a GPS Hiking Track at Carburn Park. It was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature just above freezing at +2C.
Directions for starting point of GPS Hiking Track: Carburn Park
Carburn Park is in Calgary SE. From Glenmore Trail, go south on 18th Street to Rivervalley Drive SE and turn right (at the Riverbend Community Association Building) then continue to Riverview Drive SE and turn left. Continue down Riverview Drive SE and the park entrance in on the right.
I started the GPS Hiking Track at the park entrance and walked by the skating ice surface that the city has set up on the first pond. I walked around the 2nd pond. I did not circle the 3rd pond. Hope to get to that another time.
The city has set up a skating rink on the first pond at Carburn Park. That is new this year! It looks great and there is a set of stairs with skate guard material on the steps leading down to the ice surface. There are also some temporary flood lights set up to illuminate the area after dark. The lights and stairs are located right next to the public washrooms at the park.
For more information on Carburn Park, see the city of Calgary's website.
The paths are plowed by the city and are relatively clear. There were some snowy patches in the shady areas of the path, but I felt secure in my footing and didn't worry about slipping.
Quick highlight of GPS Hiking Track
It was 1.9 km round trip and took about 30 min. It was pretty much flat with no significant hills up or down.
My companion for the walk to record the GPS Hiking Track
Hiking Baby (HB) was securely attached to me in my Ergo (soft structured carrier: SSC). I wore HB on my front so I could also wear my jacket and keep us both warm. I have been experimenting with different strap positions for the Ergo and I have found that with the front carry it is much more comfortable to have the straps in a crossback style. It gets the weight distributed more evenly across my core rather than just on my shoulders.
HB was comfortable and warm and fell asleep for most of the walk.
Here is a photo of me and HB. HB is asleep and I have the sleeping hood on the carrier snapped in on one side. The ice rink at Carburn Park is in the background.
Have you been outside hiking or walking or even skating this winter? What is your favorite trail? Have you recorded any GPS Hiking Tracks?
One Response to "GPS Hiking Tracks: Carburn Park"
In June 2013 there was flooding in Calgary as the Elbow and Bow Rivers overflowed their banks. Carburn park was underwater. About a month later, Carburn park has finally re-opened. I went and checked it out yesterday. Looks like the mud has been cleared off the paths and one section of path was re-paved. The picnic areas and fit pits are still are cordoned off. We might have to wait until next summer for those to re-open.

TC TO EDWARD FITZGERALD; 10 July 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18470710-TC-EF-01; CL 22: 13-14
Chelsea, 10 July, 1847
You are "a guilty creature,"1 but also a deserving one! The whole of that Squire business has had a vein of insanity running thro' it:2 what can we say? The invaluable old MS. being burnt, the foolish new Letters may even go after it. I must sort up the wrecks of these old Documents in some other way;—and truly any way will be difficult enough; but one cannot call the existing Squire flatly, mad; and yet how else account for his conduct, or explain the dilapidated authenticity of our new Oliver Letters? It really seems a thing of Fate's doing:—O that somebody had tied the mad blockhead, or lodged him safe in Bedlam, while it was yet time!
Thanks, however, for your excellent description of him.3 One assists at the sherry and biscuits with you; hears the gentle raps on the table; sees Bullock Squire face to face. Poor fellow, and he is very good to me too, and did the very wisest he could! "Burying much evil."4 I dare say your theory of him is perfectly correct: three centuries of Peterborough, a latent strain of madness; and the panic terror that, somehow or other, now that I had heard tell of it, those terrible acts of Squire the Elder must come to light (unless he burnt them), and involve Peterborough in earthquakes!5 We cannot mend it; the most curious MS. in all England is burnt up,6 not to be bought now by the wealth of her Majesty's Exchequer;—and we will try to think it is even best so. Oliver, shewn as a naked Baresark, with his sabre brandished,—tho' to me it is not a strange, and is a highly interesting and instructive sight, in these poor twaddling, quack-spooney times,—might have been a little strong for some of his admirers. There are who think to conquer the world by flinging themselves like a pound of fresh butter on the face of it (see poor Lord Morpeth, 7 for example, and the sinks of London just at present); but that was not Oliver's plan;—nor was it "Jesus Christ's" plan (O sodden-eyed Exeter-Hall "Christianity"!),8 nor that of any man, I think, who was ever good for much in this world and its work! The cant of "'Benevolence," Capital Punisht &c &c is, to me, getting very fetid in these days. …

What is the best way to clean a computer?
My laptop is looking grungy. The screen and keyboard have gone beyond being able to wipe it with a microfiber cloth. Are there any products that are safe and work well to clean it?
I am asking this because a friend had a coworker who used Windex on the inside of the printer to clean it. Destroyed the printer. I do not want to be that guy.
36 Answers answer
I use Windex all the time on my keyboards, screens, mice and other external pieces of plastic or aluminum that have gotten grungy. Spray a little on a paper towel or shop cloth and clean where necessary.
The only thing I use to clean the INSIDES of my computer is a can of compressed air.
My neighbor takes his completely apart, makes it a light bath, and then lets it air dry. He says works like a dream. I'd rather used compressed air so that I can invert the can and freeze skin on the wifey when she is so engrossed into Farmville or other crap.
@woothulhu: I don't think the water is safe now. Won't the radiation hurt my computer? Or will it improve my internet speed? ;)
@xarous: Is there a particular scented candle you use when preparing the bath?
@durkzilla: Thank you, this is what I was thinking of doing. Still wondering if there is some kind of moist wipe for computer cleaning that has less caustic chemicals in it thank Windex. Or what about using baby wipes?
@mtrlgrl: It may become a turtle who is also a trained ninja, or possibly become the new member of the Fantastic Four.
@mtrlgrl: I think he uses lavender bath salts and spiced chai candles. He is rather strange...
Before you take any of these suggestions, please note that your laptop screen will be unhappy with most all of them. I'll try to check back in a while with actual products and suggestions, which are mostly about the screen. Compressed air, and a vacuum, are usually plenty. Except for your screen; I'd actually spend money there.
@mtrlgrl: I prefer Windex because it air dries quickly and doesn't leave residue behind - baby wipes may leave behind a soap or moisturizing residue, and every wipe I've ever tried that branded itself as being especially for electronics has been overpriced garbage.
Honestly, one of the easiest ways to clean it is to use just a small amount of clean water and a microfiber cloth - it'll prevent streaking in the drying. And from there on, just periodically dusting it off with the microfiber.
And whatever additional advice you get from @shrdlu - she knows her stuff :)
@shrdlu: I was hoping you'd chime in. Thanks for responding. I was afraid all my responses were going to be silly ones, and my problem would not be solved. I have an expensive gaming laptop, and it is the screen that I am concerned with the most.
@mtrlgrl: I use a dry clean towel to dust my electronics, if that's not enough I add a little moisture to the towel, if that's still not enough I break out the pledge multi surface wipes (cheap at local stores but for reference):
I've used these on my computers, LCD's, and a Plasma (just make sure any screen is cooled first, such as a Plasma). Never a smudge or problem and it keeps the screen looking great.
Oh and as for case cleaning, the compressed air is good for internals (maybe a soft brush to help manipulate heat sins, fans, and wires), I use a shop vac changed from "suck" to "blow" (much like MegaMaid...), but the problem with high velocity air is that a fast air moving over a surface creates static, which can be lethal to small electronics.
My 6+ year old HP desktop has never overheated, I've never had to replace a component to failure (only upgrades), so I feel a bit of care and regular cleaning is great to every computer.
@mtrlgrl: Screens are important. It's the most difficult thing to replace on a laptop, and I've always been very careful of them. I've had the best luck with an Endust product. I don't know how easy they'll be to find, but I just posted a deal for them.
That's practically a lifetime supply.
I agree with @spikedknight: for LCD http://www.amazon.com/Pledge-Products-Multi-Surface-Premoistened-fingerprints/dp/B004E2MDOG?tag=dealswoot-20 are the way to go.
Power off and pull the battery.
Take it outside and use compressed air between keys and in vents.
Then I use a 4 rag system:
Rag 1 spray the rag with 409 for the outside and around the key area (palm rest). Scrub all of the grim off. Make several passes if needed.
Rag 2 clean water on this rag to wipe off the 409. Rinse as needed.
Rag 3 to dry to get a streak free shine.
Rag 4 %90 alcohol get the rag almost dripping wet and very very carefully wipe each key down. Re-wet rag as necessary (Careful you do not snag a key and pull it out).
Qtips with alcohol for where you can still see partials (Careful you do not snag a key and pull it out).
Wait 30 minutes now clean the display with the wipes, and use the wipes on any fingerprints.
Admire your new looking laptop.
A little bit of vinegar on a paper towel works wonders and doesn't leave residue.
I use Ragu Old World Style.
Have you tried one of these?
I have one but haven't used it yet.
@benyust2: Since you already have one, why don't you use it and let the rest of us know how well it works?
@misterron: I don't remember where I put it :(
@shrdlu: Actually, Cheap Vodka works wonders on screens when used in moderation with a clean cloth... IT is a mix of Alcohol and Distilled or De-Ionized water... No streaks...
Also, If your snowed in and desperate on a weekend the bottle can be used as a life saving fluid...
@hobbitss: Cheap Vodka works wonders on me, then I could care less about the screen.
@hobbitss: I'd be sucking on the cloth after the bottle was empty, trying to get snockered. There's potential for a new invention in there somewhere.
just pop it into the dishwasher and use the pots & pans cycle.
AVOID baby wipes, they usually contain aloe or some other greasy lotion that will leave crud all over your computer.
I clean the outside with disinfectant wipes or Swiffer wipes depending on whether I'm cleaning gunk or dust.
For the inside, I turn everything off, unplug all connections, kill the remaining charge (push or hold the power button for 30 seconds when unplugged), discharge static electricity (touch grounded metal or wear a rubberband) and proceed to vacuum the inside of the computer either by taking it slightly apart or going for the vents.
I do not use compressed air because, as I understand it, it can cause moisture buildup when it cools a surface unevenly.
Here's one of my favorite cleaning methods:
The soft cleaning tool that benyust2 mentioned works pretty well for getting the crap from between the keys. As far as the grime caked on the keys, it only does a mediocre job at best.
A bag of crap.
Mineral Oil and you won't ever have to clean it again:
@kamikazeken: Make sure you take the battery out or you could cause a short!
@dropzone9540: my desktop doesn't have a battery.
don't use anything but cloth on your plastic screen. paper towels scratch.
Wet t-shirt for the screen and the body. If its scratched up, use some car wax on it. Makes it shine real purdy.
Try using one of those lint free shamwow kinda clothes. I picked up a pack of 3 a while back for about $5. They're great to have around. Be careful that you don't put too much pressure on your screen when you're cleaning. Also, if you use air on your keyboard be sure to turn your keyboard upside down so that the 'stuff' can fall out.
I moisten a lint free cloth with 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part water. As long as the cloth isn't dripping wet, it's fine. I've used it for years with no problems. It cleans and sanitizes all in 1 step and it's safe for LCD screens.

Ontonagon Area Board of Education President Dean Juntunen and local business owner Joellen Howard examine some of the many books at the Ontonagon Area Schools book fair prior to opening for the public Tuesday.
ONTONAGON - The Ontonagon Area School Book Fair Tuesday sold more than $4,000 in books which will result in 1,800 scholastic dollars for books in the school.
For more than 20 years, there has been a book fair where children, adults and organizations can choose the finest books for all school-aged children. For six of those years, it has been the "organizational baby" of Avelin Yost.
Yost transformed a room at the Ontonagon School into a children's bookstore with imaginative displays geared for various age groups.
She explained that a percentage of the book sale turns into scholastic dollars, which can be used by teachers for needed book items throughout the year.
One customer was the Ontonagon Rotary Club, which purchased $250 in books to be donated to the St. Nicholas Fund for distribution to underprivileged kids.
Yost thanked the volunteers and others who purchased books, adding that at a time when there has been shrinking numbers and tough economic times, the community has been "so generous."
