Too many passwords to remember? 1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.
1Password is a password manager that goes beyond simple password storage by integrating directly with your web browser to automatically log you into websites, enter credit card information, fill registration forms, and easily generate strong passwords.
Your passwords, identities, and credit cards, are just some of the confidential information that 1Password stores in one secure place, protected by the only password you will need to remember.
1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on MacBreak Weekly by both Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

This is the best $40 I've spent in a long time! I've used this product for the past few years, and it really fills a void, allowing me to have secure and unique passwords for each website. Like many others, I have many, many logins for sites I only visit on rare occasion. 1Password is always there regardless of browser, ready to log me in. Plus, if you do have to engage their support, you get a useful, intelligent answer from a human.
I'm like everyone else, I just love this program. It saves so much time and works so effortlessly. And in addition the tech support is unbelievably good. I had a minor glitch which I reported in the late afternoon Pacific Time. Next morning when I looked at my mail there was an answer. Top notch product and service! Probably the best third party Mac program I've ever used.
I tried some freeware and some other trials before settling on 1Password a few months back. I liked the unrestricted trial and would have stuck with the limits after the trial was over but I found it so indispensable that I bought a licence for unrestricted use.
The integration with Safari and Firefox (only browsers I use) has been excellent and the update for Safari 5 was out like a flash. As login methods get more weird and wonderful I've yet to find one that couldn't be handled.
The ability to access information through a pdf document is great for when you are out and about.
My experience with support with querying over the licencing was first rate.
I hate to go back to not using 1Password.
Having switched from Windows to Mac about a year ago, I finally found the time to figure out a few aspects of 1Password that had bothered me. Their Customer Support answered promptly and solved all my questions about customizing the one click options, and combined with the DropBox syncing and iPhone app, I could not be more pleased with the product, the company, or the people. An absolutely first rate software package and also a great bunch of folks!
I now no longer need to think about ever going back to Windows and Roboform, a good program in its own right, but fully surpassed by 1Password. It is a little pricey, but a good value nonetheless.
If you are tired of chasing passwords you have forgotten, looking for credit card numbers, or all the other bits of data that are so often needed, "1Password" is the answer. The developers at Agile are constantly upgrading the program to keep up with the constant changes in browser architecture, adding support for newly released browsers, as well as adding new features, such as remembering software registration numbers. Your data is fully password protected too. "1Password" is by far the premier program of its type currently available, and due to its constant development, I expect it will remain so. This is a top notch program, bar none.
1Password has been a lifesaver. My passwords are safer and much easier to access, as I have 1Password on the Mac and iPhone and they sync. What a wonderful idea! Customer support is awesome, too!
I really love "1Password"! It remembers all my passwords and secures them safely, I don't have to worry about anything, I just type in the Master password and I have all my passwords on a beautiful designed list. Everything in this app plays together, functionality and design...its just beautiful.
Thanks to the whole team of Agile Web Solutions not only for building this program but also for the nicest support in the world :)
I have been using 1Password (many updates of it) for over 1 year. I have had virtually no issues with it and most recently had some great assistance from their customer service in assisting with a login problem (which was easily solved). I put 1Password up there as a "must" have program along with Default Folder & CopyPaste Pro on things I would have to get installed on any new Mac I setup. If you don't like to remember a growing number of passcodes for your bank, credit card companies, etc., 1Password is great solution - highly recommended!
If I had to have any one package for my Mac, it'd be 1Password. It manages not just my website authentications, but my server logins, encrypted notes to myself, and even my wallet's contents (which I did incase it ever got stolen, but then was surprised it would help securely automate online purchasing as well!).
The software is rock-solid, feature-rich, is beautifully integrated so that it's always available when you need it, but never in your face while you're working.
Plus, if you use more than one machine, take a look at DropBox, which it does a fantastic job synchronizing with.
1Password is an excellent application, both for convenience and for security. I have used it for over two years, first on Windows and now on Mac and iPhone. I appreciate the wallet storage of items other than logon passwords, the password generator, and the frequency of its updates. It is truly essential to me.

CFO Moves: Xstrata, Heritage Oaks Bancorp, Endologix
Xstrata, a mining company based in Switzerland, said Chief Financial Officer Trevor Reid will not become CFO of the combined Glencore-Xstrata entity once the multi-billion merger is complete. Xstrata did not provide a reason for Reid's decision to step down, but said he will remain as a consultant to the new company for up to six months. Reid's is the third high-level departure since Xstrata shareholders voted down a contentious retention package for 70 managers, including Reid.
Heritage Oaks Bancorp, based in Paso Robles, Calif., hired Mark K. Olsen as its chief financial officer. He succeeds Tom Tolda, who resigned Nov. 6. CFO duties were handled in the interim by President and Chief Executive Simone Lagomarsino, according to a press release. Olsen was most recently CFO at Pacific Capital Bancorp. Tolda received compensation in 2011 valued at $408,447, according to a proxy filing.
Endologix, a medical-device maker based in Irvine, Calif., said Chief Financial Officer Robert J. Krist has decided to retire. He will remain as CFO until a successor has been hired, according to a press release. Krist received compensation in 2011 valued at $444,584, according to a proxy filing.

Heavy bidding for Bay Area single family homes kept January prices well above their levels of a year ago, a report Thursday showed, stirring hopes that the recovery is well under way.
The median price for a single family home in the nine-county Bay Area was $435,000, up 24.3 percent from the previous January, according to DataQuick, a real estate information company.
The biggest gainer was Alameda County, where the median price of $420,000 was 29.2 percent higher than a year earlier.
Santa Clara County was up 29.1 percent from a year ago with a median sales price of $605,000; San Mateo gained 21.3 percent to a median price of $640,000 and Contra Costa County increased 20.2 percent to a median price of $294,500.
Sales dropped in Santa Clara County from a year earlier, while they rose modestly in Alameda, Contra Costa and San Mateo counties, DataQuick reported.
The housing market usually slows in January, but buyers were still plentiful while sellers remained on the sidelines. That resulted in multiple offers for many homes, with investors paying cash often making the winning bids.
"We are in dire need of more homes to sell," said Cameron Platt of Harcourts Platt Real Estate in Oakland. "First-time buyers can get very discouraged."
Even million dollar homes are drawing multiple offers, some of them all cash.
A house in West San Jose on the market for just over $1 million drew 14 offers and sold for $72,000 over the asking price. One lower priced condo in Concord drew 28 offers, selling for $80,000 over list price.
"There are definitely more buyers than properties," said Michele Manzone, president of the West Contra Costa Association of Realtors. "More are coming on the market every day, but there's still not enough inventory for the amount of buyers out there."
Absentee buyers -- typically investors -- played a big part in the Contra Costa County market, accounting for 30 percent of sales of all types of homes, DataQuick said. They made about one-quarter of all home purchases in Alameda County, and about one-fifth of all purchases in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
The hope is that the price revival will encourage more homeowners to sell in the spring. There are already signs of that, said Carl San Miguel, president of the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors.
The January drop in sales "is just because we had less inventory," he said. Now, with more than 900 homes for sale in Santa Clara County, "it seems like it's starting to pick up. As each month progresses, I think the activity will."
Realizing that interest rates aren't going to stay low forever, "everybody's feeling the pressure to jump in," said Robin Dickson, president of the Contra Costa Association of Realtors.
"But sellers are having a challenge," she added. "The market has improved but not enough so that the move-up buyers have sufficient equity to make the next jump. Although they might not be upside-down, they don't have the ability to make that leap."
And it's still tough to qualify for a loan, Dickson added.
The market mix has also shifted in the past few quarters from low-priced foreclosures and short sales to higher-priced homes. That has the effect of sending the median price higher.
The number of all types of homes sold for under $500,000 fell almost 18 percent from the previous January across the Bay Area, while homes sold for more than that increased 45.4 percent.
In Santa Clara County, sales for less than $300,000 were down by 49 percent, while sales over $800,000 rose by 38.6 percent from a year ago.
Contra Costa County saw a drop of 25 percent in sales for $300,000 or less, while sales of homes priced for $300,000 to $800,000 were up nearly 39 percent.

Alright, we played Boone again this weekend, looking forward to seeing the "artifical crossings". So there where some cinder blocks on 7 that made about perfect sense seeing how water can pass through them with out the current sweeping them away.
On 8 aka 909 (play it you"ll know why) there where some cleverly placed stepping stones to the right of the teepad.
9 It looks like the river washed away the ground behind the teepad so much that the giant tree that was behind the teepad is down and you can cross easily (if you are comfortable balancing on trees). There is another water crossing about 2/5ths away form the teepad where it looks like some stepping stones have been there, but removed. Once you are done with 9 there is a tree that seems to have been cut down to serve as a bridge to make your way to 10.
Thanks to these crossings (and the Quic' Stic') we walked off the Boone course with dry shoes for the first time.
Even with the crossings McHose is a heavily wooded course and depending on how well you can find rogue discs it still takes some time to play. Take some friends so they can help spot where you go.
I still recomened the Nut Sac Disc Golf Bag and the Quic' Stic' the two items helped us out by keeping our hands free for climbing and a Stic' for when discs went into water.
All in all I love this course and the crossings make it a lot easier to stay dry. I just wanna say "great job" to those who designed and worked on this course.

New Twitter Trading Platform Launches; You Buying?
There is money to be made from Twitter, not as a private equity investor but as a run of the mill day-trader.
That's at least the wager from Paul Hawtin of DCM Dealer.
Mr. Hawtin on Monday launched DCM Dealer, a new trading product that gives average investors access to the firm's real-time sentiment tool driven by Twitter Facebook and other social media platforms. The tool compiles tweets from around the world on everything from Apple to the euro. It then uses the information to give a rating between 0 and 100 for each asset on the platform.
Once joining DCM, traders on the platform can use that sentiment indicator as part of their broader strategies, with the platform currently offering trading of about 250 U.K. stocks, major currency pairs and some commodities contracts for now.
This is not the first time Mr. Hawtin has tried to make money on the convergence between social media and investing. He launched hedge fund Derwent Capital in July 2011 based in part on similar sentiment data. The fund made 1.85% during its first month of trading, but was shut down after only that month. In an interview Monday, he blamed the shut down on an investor base that was simply too risk averse when it came to social media.
He said average investors, however, are more likely to embrace the potential benefits.
"The environment to raise funds, which we found very difficult, would not affect our business model going forward," said Mr. Hawtin.

Sunbury shares history and pleasure in new ways.
Sure, Savannah is a grand Georgia destination, but the Georgia Coast has many other communities to explore just a short drive away. Head south on Interstate 95 and embrace a new notion in Sunbury, where people passionate about the woods, waters, gardens, marshes and trails protect the ecosystem in their family since 1755.
It is rarely possible to overnight in a home on land given to a family as a king's grant before America was America, but you can at Dunham Farms, where Laura and Meredith Devendorf are the mother-daughter proprietors. This nine-guest-bedroom home is actually a barn! Try to figure out how because the renovation is elegant, the linens exquisite and the furnishings, antiques and reproductions fill the home with immense charm. The meals are gourmet, and attention to detail is abundant through the Dunham Farms 9,400 acres. Kayaking, even by moonlight, hiking 35 miles of trails winding through oaks, pines, wetlands and marsh banks, birding and dreamy relaxing define reason enough for a holiday.
The Devendorfs seem to be protecting these fragile ecosystems in ways to safely share them abundantly. Melon Bluff was the name of 2,300 acres of theirs, which they donated to the Springfield Legacy Foundation for research, education and outreach. Look for 82 of their acres closest to the Interstate, donated in 2013 to become a replica of the Santa Clara Mission, which we should be able to experience next year. That will be a suburb within a suburb, spanning centuries.
Dunham Farms is the continuing site for significant archeological research ever since a coin dated 1526 was found there. Over the next eight years, we might see archeologists at work in test sites throughout the farm, each plot identified first with GIS locators. Send the grandchildren when they're grown up for a Dunham Farms holiday, because the Devendorfs expect the full archeology might take 75 years! While visiting Sunbury, watch the documentary at Fort Morris, the state historical site, explaining the early days of the community. Fort Morris played a role in the War of 1812 and the Civil War; a visit includes the museum and theater, blacksmith shop and earthworks.
Also nearby is Seabrook Village, a real community from 1865 -1930, that today is an authentic living history village, with restored and furnished buildings, abounding with cultural artifacts from the families living here. These are stories of slavery and Sherman's scorched earth, early freedom and land ownership. Consider a three-hour guided tour, with a picnic and entertainment if you like. Self-guided visit? Allow at least an hour.

text: Nation-building processes cannot work and development goals cannot be achieved if women are denied meaningful political participation. To ensure this, Pakistan's Parliament introduced in 2002 a 17 percent gender quota in all legislative houses. But despite accounting for 22 percent of the federal parliament, from 2002 to 2007, women could not achieve much in terms of lawmaking except the Women's Protection Act. In the subsequent mandate of 2008-2013, however, women made more progress, overseeing policy implementation and raising important issues in all Houses. Gender quotas alone, as global experience has shown, cannot transform the quality of women's representation. They won't work unless they are adapted into women's direct representation, in which more women would win elections rather than taking up reserved seats. Compared to around 13 women in 2002, 16 women won general seats in 2008, while only 8 won National Assembly seats in 2013. This downward trend reflects the shrinking space for women in the electoral process, despite a numerically larger parliamentary presence. Urgent measures are needed to create a level playing field for women in the electoral process. In 2002, women parliamentarians mostly worked in isolation, without enough sharing of inter- and intra-party experiences. But by 2008 they had … Read more

Dear Editor: In all my years as both football player and football fan, I can honestly say that I have never experienced more hospitality and felt more welcome than I was at Sept. 28's game with Ole Miss. Both my personal hosts, Mark and Keith Booth and the city of Tuscaloosa made my party of Ole Miss fans feel right at home. Thank you, Alabama!

OAKLEY -- This may be the last winter residents on Raye Avenue have to deal with standing water.
Calling it an urgent situation, East Contra Costa transportation leaders recently agreed to give Oakley an advanced payment of $750,000 in Caltrans funds to improve the flood-prone road.
Raye Avenue, on the southeastern side of Oakley off Main Street, floods a foot high or more when it rains, according to city officials and residents. The road, which dead-ends about two blocks east of Main, has standing water for three to four weeks at a time, resident Jere Fournier said.
"We've been dealing with it for 40 years. I call it the Raye lake," Fournier said.
The standing water poses a possible health risk because of West Nile virus and can damage private property, he said.
"It's going to make things so much better," Fournier said.
The project, which includes rebuilding the road and adding storm drainage and sewer lines, has been in Oakley's plans for the last decade, but there have been hiccups to its funding, Councilman Jim Frazier said.
Most recently, Oakley had planned to use redevelopment money for the project, but it "become a casualty" of the state's dissolution of those funds, City Engineer Jason Vogan said.
The small road, which only serves about 30 parcels, also doesn't qualify for grant assistance, he said.
So, Oakley turned to its regional partners for assistance.
Oakley was to receive $1.47 million at a later date from the East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority as part of an agreement for the agency using developer funds to build Highway 4 for Caltrans. Control of the old Highway 4, which includes Main Street, was relinquished to Oakley, Brentwood and the county by Caltrans earlier this year. Caltrans gave each city some money to bring the roads up to good repair, Vogan said.
Raye Avenue wasn't always the only street in the area to flood.
Before Oakley incorporated in 1999, Malicoat Avenue, Douglas Road, Hill Avenue and Raye Avenue were all rural roadways and prone to the same flooding issues. KB Homes received approval from the county to fix up Malicoat, Douglas and Hill to provide access to its new housing subdivision but¿ didn't seek approval for Raye. Adding to the frustration, Fournier said, is that Raye has not received any work since it was sealed in 1996 -- before Oakley incorporated as a city.
"We feel like we've been treated like stepchildren out here," said Fournier, who has advocated for fixing up the road since 2001.
The project would likely go out to bid in the spring and work would start in the summer, Vogan said.
Before approving the allocation at the transportation authority's Nov. 8 meeting, Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor asked several times about the state of the agency's budget without that money.
"It concerns me. I don't want to break the bank," said Taylor.
Frazier pointed out that Oakley is the only East Contra Costa city not to see any direct benefit from money doled out from the transportation authority.
"It was just a case of Oakley being a good regional partner and asking for some help," he said.

MARIETTA - As they looked at the Victorian-era Christmas decorations on display in the Henry Fearing House Museum Friday, some Harmar Elementary fifth-graders were surprised to learn the holiday wasn't always celebrated in Marietta with much, if any, fanfare.
The early settlers who came to the area brought traditions from New England that didn't involve a lot of decorating or other activities around Christmas Day.
That was hard for fifth-grader Mackenzie Hess to imagine.

"Christmas is my favorite holiday," she said. "It not all about the presents; it's all about your friends, your family and Jesus."
Hess and her classmates were continuing the decades-long relationship between their school and the nearby museum, run by the Washington County Historical Society in the former home of its namesake- the son of the first lawyer in the Northwest Territory, father to a Civil War general and grandfather-in-law to U.S. Vice President Charles Gates Dawes.
The visit by a pair of fifth-grade classes kicked off the museum's annual Christmas open house. Members of the public can tour it from 1:30 to 5 p.m. the next two Saturdays and Dec. 16. It will be open from 3 to 7 p.m. this Sunday.
The children did more than look on Friday. They decorated a Christmas tree in the reception room with ornaments they'd made with their thumb prints as the basis. The designs included hearts made from two thumb prints, reindeer drawn around a horizontal print or snowmen from a vertical one, said fifth-grader Kaitlyn McClead, who added that the activity provided a good break from regular schoolwork.
After adorning the tree, the students moved into the parlor, where co-manager Glen Wolfe described the decorations that would have been on a tree in the mid- to late 1800s.
"They used to make paper ornaments, and they'd cut pictures out of newspapers and magazines," he said.
Wolfe told the children that on Christmas morning, the doors to the parlor would be closed and the father would light the candles attached to the branches. As he stood by with a bucket of water, the children would enter to see the tree lit for the first time.
"Back then it was just one morning they'd have lights on the tree," Wolfe said.
"Do you still do that?" one child asked him.
"No, I have lights on all the time," Wolfe laughed.
McClead said she enjoyed looking at the furniture in the upstairs bedrooms, while classmate Cailin McCracken liked seeing the old toys on display.
It was interesting to see "what kind of toys they got for Christmas and how they were different from the toys we get for Christmas," she said.

OAKLAND -- They were the set-up men for Coco Crisp's climactic walk-off hit, but as the ninth inning began, Josh Reddick, Josh Donaldson and Seth Smith didn't exactly inspire confidence looking at their numbers.
They were hitting a combined .139 -- 5 for 36 -- in the American League Division Series, including 0 for 8 in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
But as was well documented over 14 regular-season walk-off victories, when it comes to the A's and ninth innings, you can throw out the law of averages, even against a tough customer like Detroit Tigers closer Jose Valverde.
Trailing 3-1, the A's were three outs from the end of the season. But with Oakland closer Grant Balfour exhorting each upcoming hitter that there was simply no way the A's were going to lose, each man delivered.
Reddick rolled a leadoff single between first and second to get things started. Donaldson then rocketed a double to left field to put runners on second and third, and Smith followed by smoking a double into the right-center gap to tie the score.
That left Crisp to finish the job, which he did with a two-out RBI single to right, but it wouldn't have been possible without some serious stage-setting by the first three hitters of the inning.
First, Reddick, who had a lone hit in the series in 13 at-bats -- a home run in Game 2 -- with eight strikeouts. He took a strike, then a ball, then fouled off a pitch to fall behind 1-2. But on the fourth pitch, he got enough wood to push a hit past diving second baseman Omar Infante.
"I was just trying to get something started with a hit or a walk," Reddick said. "I knew (Valverde) was really consistent around the plate. I just tried to react to a good pitch, and I finally had one slip through for me."
Donaldson, 3-for-13 with no RBIs in the series, didn't waste any time. He ripped the first pitch he saw, and it appeared momentarily like it might go over the left-field wall before bouncing off it for the double.
"The last time I faced him when we were in Detroit, he blew me away with three fastballs, and I wasn't going to let that happen again," Donaldson said. "He threw me a fastball that was over the heart of the plate, and I was able to get a good piece of wood on it and drive it."
That left it to Smith, just 1 for 10 in the series with one RBI despite being the designated hitter for all four of the games. He, too, was looking fastball and got one on a 1-1 count.
"Balls I put in play, I'm not always sure what they are," he said. "But I think it was a fastball away. I just tried not to do too much and go with the pitch."
Smith said the noise from the sellout Oakland Coliseum crowd almost distracted him from his job.
"I felt like a quarterback trying to take his team in for a score -- you want to hush your fans for being too loud," he said. "But we appreciate the fans, obviously, and their great fans. It was fun, for sure. A home run might have been a little better, but I'll settle for a double."
All three players said the attitude in the dugout heading into their half of the ninth was one of extreme confidence and belief based on all the late-inning wins the A's have pulled out this season.
"It's been a long journey to get to where we're at right now, and we're not ready to stop," Donaldson said. "We just feel like somebody's going to come through in the clutch."
"We're going to play to the end, regardless of the situation," Smith said. "It's not crazy to score three runs in the ninth inning. But even if it was a larger deficit, we would have tried just as hard."
Reddick said the A's had accomplished tougher comebacks this season, so this challenge hardly seemed insurmountable.
"We're never going to be out of a game," Reddick said. "We've come back from four-run, five-run deficits. A two-run deficit isn't enough to hold us right now."

A stray mutt that has appeared at "nearly every demonstration in Athens over the last two years." He's always on the side of the protesters. He barks at the police. Locals call him and his ilk "dogs of the movement."
Apparently stray dogs are a hallmark of Athens' periodic riots. Dogs of the movement are drawn by the energy of the crowd, opportunities to scavenge, and protesters who are kind to them. Though mutts of all manner appear routinely in protest footage, one dog appears more than any other.
Guardian says the dog's name is Kanellos. He appeared most recently at deadly protests against Greece's new austerity measures, the Guardian writes. [Image via AP]
Maybe the commotion excites him. He always sides with the protesters, and has braved teargas and fire to be with them. [Image via Getty]
Crowds provide great treats for canine scavengers—like this milk bottle in Syntagma Square. [Image via AP]
Or maybe he just hates the police. [Image via Getty]
There are other protest dogs, too. A Reddit user who lives in the Exarxeia neighborhood of Athens says the Guardian misidentified this dog, whose name is actually Louk. The confusion, he says, stems from rich tradition of Athenian protest dogs:
These dogs live in Exarxeia and they don't belong to nobody. We call them "the dogs of the movement" and there many of them, such as ROZA, DICK, RIBO, PETROS, LOUCY. Its funny but they are our comrades, we protect and feed them and they protect us as well.

"My girlfriend and I met while playing intermural softball. One day, I gunned the ball over to her a little too hard and ended up breaking her ring finger. It'd obviously be easy to play the blame game in that situation, but she really toughed it out. I found a first aid kit, tended to her hand, and we soon ended up kissing. I knew she was special, a girl chill enough to kiss the guy who just broken her finger, and her reaction really clued me into how she would handle crappy situations in the future." —Greg G.
"One girl I was seeing had heard me mention that 'Landslide' was one of my favorite songs because it reminded me of my mother, who loved it. After we'd been hanging out for a week, I invited her out to a karoke bar with some friends for drinks. She surprised me big time when she hopped up on stage and began to belt out 'Landslide'—a total knock-out performance. I swear guys in the crowd cried. I fell head over heels for her at that point." —Blake S.

I don't have any rights to it, just watch it before you do anything else, its one minute long.
Things you should know before you sign
- Physical Traits
First of all, we need to figure out your character traits.
Is it an Alien? Does it have a tail? Claws? How many arms? Physical Traits like these improve your characters fighting ability, but worsens your special attack.
- Special Traits
These are the energy based moves that require energy, You can have special moves, there are three categories. Rush, Energy and Support. You may only have 5 of these, it is recommended that you have at least two support moves.
Types of Special Traits
When your character uses his spare energy to improve his physical abilities and speeds towards the enemy in attempt to do a combo move that is nearly unpreventable. EVERY RUSH MOVE GETS 20 EXTRA POINTS
This can be a blast of pure energy from your any part of your body, hands, mouth, feet. EVEN your unmentionables. It can have special traits, for instance you can make them follow your opponent or explode when nearby, or a giant tornado that is made out of red rings-Etc.
These moves are usually made to stun or heal, teleport, evade, increase physical traits or gain energy, or use items . ETC
How to sign
Name: Geko
Perks: [Perks are your passive abilities or special abilities that your character naturally has.] (Question? Look at the bold perks section below or just ask.)
Physical traits: Brownish Humanoid with Two heads, two big tails, four arms, four legs. [physical traits are only used if your character is not human, or has irregular body features, like claws, a sword, a hammer.]
Ki blasts :
(A weak blast of energy, put its color and its shape.Optional)
Energy Triangular shaped, heat seeking and reliable. Color Yellow (You don't need an energy move if you don't want to.
Special Traits: (Below are the special moves you mayput down for the special traits, you must put the name of the move:type: and what it does. Go ahead and be creative)
Giga Impact:Rush: Geko attacks his foe with one fierce knee attack. (Questions)
Oxidation Cannon:Special: Releases a powerful flaming Gas attack from the ass. Its has lots of spread, but it doesn't go far. (Questions?)

The Missing Pieces in Obama's Bully Pulpit
The New Jersey bridge scandal is, of course, a crisis for Gov. Chris Christie that could derail his 2016 presidential ambitions.
But the episode also offers a revealing look at how different chief executives use the tools and powers of incumbency.
Emails released in the probe suggest the Christie administration was prepared to go so far as to tie up traffic near the George Washington Bridge to punish a Democratic mayor who'd run afoul of the governor.
Investigators will determine precisely what happened and whether anyone in Mr. Christie's orbit may have broken the law. At bottom, though, the story is a familiar one: the executive branch playing hardball with its adversaries in pursuit of political or policy goals.
In defending his actions, Mr. Christie has denied he is a "bully."
That's one accusation the incumbent president has never had to confront. Indeed, it's tough to point to an instance in which President Barack Obama made an adversary pay a demonstrable political price for opposing his agenda.
Mr. Obama has never been one for strong-arm tactics: intimidating opponents or striking fear into lawmakers who've crossed him. It's not part of his emotional wiring.
Nor has he put much stock in seducing lawmakers in the manner, say, of a Lyndon Johnson.
He prefers making a reasonable argument that resonates with the broader public, pressuring Congress to fall in line.
Mr. Obama got a huge laugh at the White House Correspondence Association dinner last year when he said: "Some folks still don't think I spend enough time with Congress. 'Why don't you get a drink with [Senate Republican leader] Mitch McConnell?' they ask. Really? Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?"
Robert Gates, the former defense secretary who served under both George W. Bush and Mr. Obama has just come out with a memoir describing his time in office. Meeting with reporters over breakfast last week, Mr. Gates said of Messrs. Bush and Obama: "They were neither much liked nor much feared on the Hill."
With three years left in his presidency, White House advisers say Mr. Obama is charting a course that ensures his agenda won't be hostage to a polarized Congress. He'll make more use of his executive authority to curb global warming and boost the economy.
Yet the president won't be able to bypass his legislative adversaries altogether. He needs to fend off a push by some in Congress to impose new sanctions on Iran, a move that could complicate his efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear program through diplomatic means. He wants to pass an immigration bill, a promise left over from his 2008 campaign.
Mr. Gates offered a suggestion: Suck it up and socialize.
Noting a report in Politico that Mr. Obama enjoyed a martini at the White House recently with Democratic lawmakers, Mr. Gates, who has worked for eight presidents, said: "In my view, that should have started on Jan. 21, 2009."

1. Starting life on the lecture circuit: 19:15
My dad gave a day-long seminar on photography to more than fifty photographers from Naga and surrounding areas. He's been thinking about speaking more often, and because we were in Naga for wakeboarding anyway, he figured that he might as well. He was worried that there wouldn't be enough material or that there would be too much material and people would be bored. I think the audience would've happily listened to him for a few more days!
He regaled them with anecdotes, showed them great shots, and shared some of the tips and tricks in advertising photography. I learned a few new things, too, like using a backlight for all my CookOrDie food shots to give definition, and using black backgrounds to bring out color. I may yet learn how to shoot portraits...
He showed off his improvised equipment with glee. A styrofoam box turns into a light box for a fraction of the cost of regular equipment. A piece of plexiglass results in a million lighting possibilities. He knows how to shoot on a shoestring budget because that's how he started. With a passion for photography and a can-do attitude, he made everything happen.
My dad has always loved sharing what he's learned. My mom told me how, when my dad was starting out, he asked an established photographer about a shot. The photographer refused to teach him, telling him, "That's a secret." Then and there, my dad must have resolved to share everything he could--and sometimes a few things he shouldn't, to my mom's chagrin!
I can't believe my dad was once shy. My mom said that when she first got to know him, he answered each of her questions with a single word! "So you like photography?" "Yes." "What do you like shooting?" "Anything." Now you can't get him to stop talking! ;)
My dad doesn't need Toastmasters training or anything like that. He does it all naturally: exciting vocal variety, vivid body language, dramatic pauses, and a strong rapport with the audience... Wow.
My mom learned that she also needs to be able to speak at the drop of a hat. She found out about seminar just a few days ago, when she read a post by my dad on a Philippine photography forum. Not only did my dad announce the workshop, but he also said that my mom would speak about the business of photography. After all, his success at shooting wouldn't have been possible without her, and no whirlwind tour of professional photography would be complete without talking about the professional side of things. She managed it, though, and will probably refine her talk as she has more of these sessions.
I foresee my parents getting the hang of holding workshops... Maybe I can learn from them about life on the lecture circuit! =) I love this universe!

I realized today that Nethack isn't fun for me. I admit, I like some of it, and it's kinda cool that I have a level 13 wizard who's currently wandering around the Quest level, and it does give me some geek cred, but it's not really doing it for me. My character runs into problems, and I'm like, darn, now I have to remember where I put that spellbook...
Freeciv is a little bit interesting because it's one of the strategy games my friends play.
Maybe I should try more puzzle games. I remember liking the fish game...

Fed's Bullard: Limited Value In Central Bank International Coordination
By Michael S. Derby and Michael S. Arnold
NEW YORK–Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said Wednesday that benefits to international coordination between monetary policymakers appear to be limited.
Mr. Bullard said the "traditional" view of monetary policy on the international stage holds that "the gains from international monetary policy coordination in this view are small," and added that he endorsed that view.
But he acknowledged that others believe that if policymakers from different nations work together, monetary policy can be more effective and not cause disruptions in other nations. Mr. Bullard acknowledged the 2013 "taper tantrum" when moves by the Fed to begin paring back on its bond-buying stimulus program generated significant turmoil in emerging markets.
Many argued that the Fed needed to take better account of how its policies affected other nations. Fed officials noted that they had a legal mandate to achieve job and inflation goals for the U.S. and that other nations needed to pursue policies to suit their domestic needs.
Mr. Bullard noted "there is considerable room for debate" about the need for international coordination in monetary policy making.
Some of the official's comments came from slides prepared to accompany a speech that he was to give at a Credit Suisse investment conference in Hong Kong. He did not make forward-looking comments about the U.S. economy or monetary policy.
But he did say financial stability concerns were "looming large" in the Fed's internal debate about when to begin raising interest rates.
"We had a huge bubble in the 2000s that blew up on us and on the global economy, so anybody that's involved in policy is thinking about, 'let's not replay that again,' " he said. "It's on everybody's minds."
Indeed, the last time the Fed tightened policy after an extended period of accommodation in 2003-04, a massive real estate bubble formed that resulted in the subprime-mortgage crisis. That's a "key risk" now too, as the Fed winds down its economic stimulus and prepares to raise interest rates, he said.
"Just because you're removing accommodation doesn't mean that the risk of a bubble forming is going away," Mr. Bullard said.
But he said the Fed now has stronger macroprudential tools that it can use if it fears a bubble is forming.
He also noted that one mild form of tightening the Fed could pursue is to stop reinvesting in new assets as existing ones on its balance sheet expire.
"I think reinvestment is a card the FOMC could play at some point," he told reporters. "I think markets have really forgotten about that element of policy."
Regarding international coordination, Mr. Bullard noted one reason for his confidence that coordination is not that critical lies in the potency of the unconventional monetary policies that the Fed has pursued in recent years.
"If unconventional U.S. monetary policy is effective, the traditional view is more nearly correct and the gains from international policy coordination would be small," he said. That said, "if unconventional policy is ineffective, the alternative view is more nearly correct and the global gains from the U.S. shifting to a better policy may be large."

I thought this would be a good time to chat about school lunches and after school snacks.
Now, I'm not reinventing the wheel here. Many of you will be familiar with these favorite snacks.
But having a pack of inexpensive tortilla shells, along with some other items that you probably already have in your pantry,
can make snack time just a bit more fun for everyone!
You can use them to make wraps for their lunch (and yours) and you can use them to create fun and easy snacks
for them (and you) when they rush home after school and are ravenous.
They are a company that produces fresh, uncooked, whole wheat flour tortillas.
Yep, you read that right, uncooked. You get the uncooked tortillas from the refrigerated section of your supermarket.
Once you get them home, it takes about 60 seconds to cook them up fresh.
There aren't any ingredients in there that I don't understand. So I know exactly what my son is eating.
Nothing weird going on here.
This is just a small sampling of the foods I like to create with tortillas.
The possibilities are endless.
Click on the link below each picture to take you to the recipe.
Ham and Cheese Rollups with Honey Mustard Sauce
And TortillaLand is also having a Sweepstakes now thru October 31st to win a free Ipad and free tortillas!
I was given a free sample of tortillas from the company to taste test and review.
All opinions are mine and mine alone.

Lyric 145 was sent home from The X Factor during Divas Night two weeks ago, and frontwoman Lyric Da Queen implied afterwards that the group's elimination was due in large part to the fact that they weren't allowed to perform the song they originally had prepared. Now, viewers can judge for themselves whether that was the case.

Sardis Road committeemen are up in arms at the revelation that Pontypridd RFC's famous 'spirit' has been stolen. The spirit, used to such success in early Heineken Cup encounters, notable cross-border skirmishes and other circumstances requiring of 'backs-to-the-wall-we-might-be-underdogs-but-we're-nobody's-poodle' gumption, was reported missing last night, though the fabled item may have been taken far earlier.
"The spirit was always kept in a gilded can of Albright above the main economy 7 heater in the clubhouse, in pride of place next to the Neil Jenkins shrine," commented local historian Delme Prosser-Perkins. "Just before the Celtic Warriors were established, it was removed to the Brewery Field in Bridgend as part of the merger deal. That was all hushed up at the time, naturally. It came back after the Warriors went tits-up likes – but there were always rumours among those who knew about whether it had been replaced by a different substance."
Police forensics experts are examining the remaining fluid – which purportedly smells a bit like Dennis John's cough medicine – to determine its authenticity, while following up claims that Newport Gwent Dragons are in current possession of the true stolen goods.
"We draw no conclusions at this stage, though admittedly it is a bit suss," commented Detective Chief Superintendent Keith Moon of South Wales Police. "The Dragons have got no money, few players anyone has ever heard of, a rubbish ground, and thousands of vociferous one-eyed supporters. It's a bit of a coincidence that they are playing attractive, stoic, winning rugby isn't it? If Cardiff start pinching all their best players then we'll really know for sure."

"I can't find the words to tell you how thankful the kids and I are for the HEAP Program" -M.P.
For many people cold winters can be an extremely stressful time. Skyrocketing energy prices are causing financial burden to low income households and families are faced with choosing between food, medicine and keeping warm.
The EAC Network Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) assists low income Nassau County households meet the high costs of home energy and utility expenses. The program provides financial assistance to eligible families who fall within the programs income guidelines. Households interested in energy assistance must complete an application, submit required documentation and be interviewed by a worker to determine eligibility. Eligible households that pay directly for heat may receive benefits ranging from $300.00 to $800.00. Both homeowners and renters may apply for assistance. The program also offers assistance to homeowners with heating equipment repair and replacement. The program opens each year on November 1st and continues, pending funding, through May 15th.
*Recently, a HEAP client received winter coats from an EAC Network coat drive, writing the following in a note of thanks:
"Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you giving me the coats. This helps me a lot, because I am looking for full time work. These coats help me to look good going on interviews. God bless you. Thanks again. I wish there were more people like you. Since I have been coming you've helped me – always so sweet, helpful and so polite. I want to wish you and your family all the best, but most of all a lifetime of good health & happiness for you all." – R.R., a client of HEAP, who also received donated winter coats through EAC.

Pete Hoekstra, Randy Hekman and Clark Durant, Michigan GOP candidates for the U.S. Senate, came together for a debate on Thursday.
Clark Durant attacked Pete Hoekstra's voting records in Congress.
"Congressman Hoekstra, you voted for all sorts of earmarks that did precisely what you said shouldn't happen," Durant said.
Hoekstra turned the tables and accused Durant of running a desperate campaign.
"You start running negative ads, you call for Lincoln-Douglas debates, you've got the same person running the campaign," said Hoekstra.
Political analyst Bill Ballenger says Durant's strategy is typical of someone trying to beat the frontrunner.
"Nothing ventured nothing gained. If you don't attack your opponent and you don't tear him down and you're way behind, you're going to end up losing," said Ballenger.
While Durant positioned himself as the only other opponent, Ballenger says his momentum is not stronger than Randy Hekman's.
"I really don't think Durant is necessarily that far ahead of Randy Hekman. I think both of them have been chasing Pete Hoekstra for really almost a year and half," Ballenger said.
Ballenger predicted that both Hekman and Durant's chances of beating Hoekstra are slim.
"I don't think they have the financial strength to be able to overcome Hoekstra's lead in the polls. Durant and particularly Hekman have never been able to raise the money that they need to make a difference."

After putting every single criticism of Mitt Romney's now-infamous "47 percent" pitch into one perfect segment, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart sets his snark-sights on the presidential nominee's enablers — namely Fox News, AKA "Romney Campaign Headquarters," AKA "Bullshit Mountain."
On last night's show, Stewart took apart the so-called "fair and balanced" news network for its desperate attempts to find some way — any way — to defend Romney's indefensible remarks.
Part 1 sets up the nail by replaying some particularly fawning footage of Fox News anchors and contributors displaying their very public affection for Romney. Part 2 brings down the hammer with some good old fashioned facts.

Impacting Jobs
Tomblin's job impact proposal a good idea
February 24, 2013
A household environment in which no one is bringing home a paycheck is an unhealthy one. Ask anyone who's had to cope with the challenge of feeding children healthy meals on food stamps....
West Virginia does little to enforce its invironmental laws that it currently has on the books. West Virginians already have some of the worst health issues in the nation. It makes little sense to pass legislation that protects employment when the very job you are protecting is killing you from the poisons that it creates.

I think it's a great idea. While I do care about the environment, and want clean air, I believe environmentalists look through very narrow lenses that seem to hide the effects to families due to lost jobs; towns and cities to mass closures.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Also: What time frame is involved? If the estimate can be made at all (denver brings up a good point), perhaps it should be made for 5 years out, 20 years out, & 50 years out. I'll illustrate w/ a ridiculous example: if on finishing 8th grade you ask the agency, "Should I go to high school?" the agency would reply, "Over the next 5 years you will make more money by not going to high school. But over the next 20 or 50 years, you will make much less."
The example is silly, but any infrastructure project will appear to be a disaster if the timeframe is too short. We don't want to wait for the flagger to let us proceed past highway work; we didn't allow time for that.
For environmental questions, the payback time is usually long.

The problem with what Tomblin is asking is, "State agencies have a less-than-stellar track record in producing accurate estimates. The Legislative Auditor office has studied the issue over the years and found agencies have a habit of overestimating effects of legislation. Reviews of past estimates found that 69 percent of fiscal notes prepared in 2008 and 84 percent of those prepared in 2007 had been overestimated. In fact, only 13 percent of the fiscal notes prepared in both years came within 10 percent of actual results."
Sounds like a waste of time and money to me!

One of the things I love most about Ireland is that in every county, city, town and village around the country there is usually something fascinating to discover.
As an archaeologist I love visiting the multitude of heritage sites around Ireland, and the country is packed with iconic historical sites like Newgrange, The Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle. While absolutely wonderful places to visit, sometimes it can also be very rewarding to stray off the beaten path and explore some of the lesser known gems of Ireland.
Here are five suggestions to add to a must-see list for any intrepid explorers, they are all free to enter and you'll often find you have them all to yourself.
Carrowkeel Megalithic Tomb Cemetery, County Sligo
The megalithic cemetery of Carrowkeel still remains one of the most spectacular and breathtaking archaeological landscapes in Ireland, and is simply a must-see for anyone with any interest in our prehistoric past.
The tombs are situated at the northern end of the Bricklieve Mountains, in County Sligo, and cover a number of the peaks that tower over the surrounding landscape. They are passage tombs, and were built around 5,000 years ago in the Neolithic period. This was the time of the first farmers in Ireland, the people who began to cut back the dense forests that covered the country to create fields for tillage and pasture.
Arguably the most famous passage tomb cemetery in Ireland is the Brú na Bóinne (Bend of the Boyne) including the iconic sites of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, but Carrowkeel is equally as important, with fourteen tombs. Of those tombs three (Cairns G, H, and K) are very accessible.
You'll find Carrowkeel around 30km or so from Sligo Town. Aim for Castlebaldwin on the N4 road between Sligo and Boyle, and the tombs are well signposted from there. For more detailed directions and information on the history of the site please visit our blog post at TimeTravelIreland.
Rindoon Deserted Medieval Village, County Roscommon.
Rindoon is one of Ireland's best preserved deserted medieval towns. The castle at Rindoon is thought to date to 1227 and was constructed by Geoffrey de Marisco.
It appears that de Marisco was a villain on a Game of Thrones level of nastiness. He was Justiciar of Ireland between 1215 and 1228, and took full advantage of the young King Henry III by being as corrupt in his dealings in Ireland as possible. He amassed huge swathes of land and a fortune by seizing goods, lands and taxes in the King's name and then keeping the rewards for himself. He was eventually dismissed from office in 1228. He was even excommunicated from the Church for misappropriating funds (the money was just resting in ye olde account apparently).
When you visit the site you can encounter the remains of the medieval castle, church, town walls and you can even still make out the plots where houses and field systems give tantalising glimpses of everyday life in medieval Ireland. Rindoon is a fantastic site to visit, and as well as the intriguing history and archaeology, it makes for a lovely walk. Rindoon is roughly halfway between Roscommon town and Athlone on the N61 and it is well signposted from the road. The main part of the site is about a 15min walk through fields, the fields are full of livestock (cattle and sheep) so do remember to bring appropriate footwear and please close all gates behind you.
For more information about Rindoon and for the story of the villainous Geoffrey de Marisco please see my blogpost at TimeTravelIreland.
The Rock of Dunamase, County Laois.
Perched on a steep rocky crag above the low lying plains of Laois, The Rock of Dunamase is one of the most atmospheric sites to visit in Ireland. The first historical reference to the Rock of Dunamase came from the Annals that record it being plundered by Viking raiders in 843 AD.
But the site was extensively refortified after the Norman invasions of Ireland. The site was said to be part of the dowry given by Diarmuid MacMurrough when his daughter Aoife married the leader of the Norman invasions, Richard de Clare (Strongbow). Strongbow appointed Meiler FitzHenry, a famous Norman knight, as custodian and he began to fortify the Rock to ensure the Normans would have a foothold in the notoriously dangerous borderlands between the Norman colony and the Gaelic Irish kingdoms.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|The scale of the killing ... >
|Conclusion >>
Identifying the issue
13.68 When the trial started, it appeared from Irving's written statement of case that he was adhering to the position often adopted in his speeches about Auschwitz, namely that no gas chambers were commissioned or operated at the camp and that in consequence no Jew lost his or her life in gas chambers there.
13.69 As I have already observed in paragraph 7.11 above, in the course of the trial Irving modified his position: he accepted that there was at least one gas chamber (or "cellar") at Auschwitz, albeit used solely or mainly for the fumigation of clothing. He also accepted that gassing of Jews had taken place at the camp "on some scale". He did not indicate on what scale. Irving firmly denied the claim advanced by van Pelt that 500,000 Jews were killed in morgue 1 of crematorium 2. The case for the Defendants on the other hand was, as I have said, that almost one million Jews were put to death in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
13.70 In these circumstances the central question which, as it appears to me, falls to be determined is whether or not the evidence supports the Defendants' contention that the number of deaths ran into hundreds of thousands or whether Irving is right when he claims that the killing by gas was on a modest scale.

A Campbellsville woman is dead following a single-car crash Tuesday morning on Palestine Road.
Jana' D. Bellinger, 56, of Maupin Road was traveling east on Palestine Road at 10:04 a.m. on her way to a haircut appointment. According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Department report, Bellinger lost control of her 1992 Oldsmobile, drove partially off the right side of the road and then skidded back across both lanes of Palestine Road. Her car continued to skid off the left side of road before striking a tree in a nearby yard.

Brenda is a native North Dakotan and very pleased to be involved in the world of education through the NDSU Extension Service in Ramsey County. Her family and friends can make life interesting at times but there is always an opportunity for learning along the way.
The Last One
My Dad's older sister passed away recently. Aunt Grace was the third oldest in a family of eight. Four boys and four girls were raised on a ND farm with eleven miles of bad roads separating them from the nearest small town. That distance was seldom commented on. What was commented on was how fortunate they were that the country school was only half a mile away.
Aunt Grace moved away first and moved the furthest away. She said someone had to leave first. The first move was east to attend nursing school at a charity medical hospital. This was before there were nursing classes in colleges. You went directly to work in a hospital with half your days on the floor and half in a lecture hall. The hospital offered charity care to the poorest of the poor and also charity to its students who worked for room, board and the instruction they received. Aunt Grace worked in the laundry. By the time she completed her studies, she said she hated the smell of laundry soap.
From there it was to the west coast, where growth after World War II was expanding exponentially and there were new shiny hospitals and the latest in medical advances to work with. The first to live in a suburb and far from rural ND. But she always came back to visit – usually in the summer – and eventually with a husband and two daughters.
Years passed and the eight brothers and sisters grew old and passed away. Some unexpectedly, some after lingering illnesses, some whose bodies simply wore out and then there was only Aunt Grace. She said she never expected to be the last one. Certainly another sister had always watched her diet better; certainly another brother had been a model for the need for physical exercise but Aunt Grace remained.
We nieces and nephews set up an unofficial rotation of visits to her trailer in California. Some who were now themselves retired spent more time; others sent cards and made calls. Who has talked to Aunt Grace recently was the question whenever the cousins spoke. She turned 90 and more.
Eventually the phone call announcing her passing came. And now she is not the last one.

A 22-year-old Medford man was arrested early Wednesday for allegedly crashing his car into a curb and running from police, attempting to discard an unknown amount of cash while he ran.
Police first caught sight of Martin Derbigny at around 2 a.m. as he drove west on 10th Street. It looked like he was speeding in the 25 mph zone, and an officer leaving the jail gave chase, Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau said. The officer reached speeds of 45 mph during the chase.
Derbigny eventually crashed his car near the intersection of Fourth and Rose streets, and ran from the vehicle. At some point along the way, he tried to abandon a "substantial" amount of cash, Budreau said. Police eventually caught and arrested Derbigny at a home in the 600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue.
