I booked this flight almost two months before our travel trip. I have to change status and renew my passport before our trip. This was not my first time to go out of the country but I was still excited because this was the first out of the country travel together with my hubby. This will be our first wedding anniversary celebration and Chinese New Year celebration too. I brought USD and good thing there's money changer inside the airport and it was still open.
Due to limited time, I did not do any research and I just booked a hotel without considering the location. I did not know that it is located in Little India, it is just a three star hotel so I did not expect so much. All we need is a decent room with private bathroom since we will be out the whole day.
There is no time difference between Singapore and Manila, it is past 12AM already so we took a cab to get to our hotel, I already forgot the name. lol! The fare is 32 SGD, very expensive. We need to take a nap before we start our Singapore tour.

What's big news for dentistry in the next few years? Electronic charting.
Let's start by dispelling the rumor that the federal government is requiring adoption of electronic health records (EHR) by next year. Dentists in private practice will not be required to switch to EHR unless they have Medicare patients or a large Medicaid patient load.
It's what electronic charting can do that tantalizes.
"Besides the everyday improvements such as image management, financial management, payroll, etc.," said L. Stephen Buchanan of the Dental Education Laboratories in California, "electronic charting offers the possibility of data mining across thousands of dental offices to pull out real-time clinical data about methods used and outcomes seen." Instead of waiting years to analyze a new method or new material, dentists can get results in months, allowing for successful treatments to be shared and implemented sooner.
There are other benefits as well.
Once a digital charting is up and running, "a paperless system allows you to spend more time with patients and provide better care," wrote Jana Berghoff in an article in RDH magazine.
A registered hygienist and now a rep for St. Paul-based Patterson Technology, Ms. Berghoff spells out how offices can offer "more informed decisions" about patient care, reduce errors, and minimize redundant treatments for patients new to a practice.
At first I was enthused by what EHR could mean for me as a patient.
I zeroed in on Ms. Berghoff's assertion that with EHR, records can be retrieved for patients and providers at thousands of offices around the country. I might move to St. Louis, but with a click of a mouse, records from my former dental practice could be sent to my new dentist.
Not so fast.
Larry Emmott, whose Phoenix office specializes in technology solutions for dental practices, underscores all the ways a paperless office can benefit — more complete records, easy access to records and digitized films, more quality time with patients — but he explained that the prospect for "portable records" is years off.
The federal government is the driver of EHR for medical records (think Medicare and Medicaid) so that recordkeeping will be standardized, but there is no similar push at this time to include dental records, despite the growing recognition that oral health is part of overall health. For dentists, patient record formats are in the hands of big dental technology companies that have not arrived at a standardized format, Dr. Emmott said.
And, in case it's not obvious, each company develops its own proprietary software, making records unreadable from one system to another. Even records from the same system may not transfer cleanly because of client tweaking, Dr. Emmott said. That could well limit Dr. Buchanan's hope of shared clinical data, as well.
Dentists and their representatives (like the ADA) can — and should — take a more active role in influencing the outcome on shared, paperless records, or it will be done for them eventually, either by the government or for-profit tech companies.
There are still big internal management advantages to dental offices going digital, but for now the promise of portable records is unfulfilled.
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

CITY COUNCIL President Darrell Clarke will introduce a package of bills Thursday aimed at getting publicly owned, vacant and tax-delinquent properties back into the city's tax coffers.
Clarke hopes the measures will help ease the tax burden by generating additional dollars so Council can keep the tax rate low as the city moves to a new property-tax system based on market values, the Actual Value Initiative.
There are 40,000 vacant properties in the city, a quarter of them city-owned. If those properties become productive, Clarke said, that would mean $125 million in additional revenue. The city dishes out about $20 million a year in maintenance for vacant properties.

For people that haven't used Nokia music the best feature it has is you can download playlists for OFFLINE USE. I go to the gym a lot and this feature comes in handy. You can also refresh these playlists for new songs.

Climate scientists have suggested that methane leakage during filling and transfer operations, possible with a wide-scale switch from diesel to natural gas as heavy truck fuel, could contribute more to global warming than the benefit of switching from diesel to natural gas would achieve.

..can i make this work with my ps3?
i don't want to hold the Move's controllers whilst trying to dance like an idiot when returning home on a Friday night blind drunk and deciding games are a good idea.
"Might want to re-read the article. All the suspects were employed so NONE of them were claiming anything from the "public purse"."
Might want to re-read the article.
Two of them at least were unemployed.
And correct me if I'm wrong but isn't their crime pretty much "claiming from the public purse" anyway? They just didn't ask for the help of the Gov't.
..the "very best cyberscrotes in Europe" most definitely aren't all eminating from the UK.
Firstly, it's too easy [for idiots like these] to get caught here compared to certain other countries.
Secondly, there are too many restraining factors including rubbish ISPs, poor provision of specialist education at good rates & also a huge population of egotistical bot theiving script kiddies claiming they're the bees knees of security.
Thirdly, in my own experience, the ratio of logical and intelligent "experts" within Britain is much lower compared to that of the quality of some folk around europe and indeed the world. As I said, my own experience only so I won't be citing that.
How anyone could say this crime, and these criminals, are amongst "the very best" [in their field] is beyond me.
Does no one take heed of security and the dark underbellies of the internet any more?
"just off to the dianetics clinic darling, won't be long, got covered in smart dust at work again"
Not all torrents are "stolen goods" you know.
And I think you'll find most people will actually generally fork out a bit of cash for those smaller creators who actually input some small amount of good into their industries.
By buying mass produced vegetables from a supermarket chain like Tescos you're depriving honest farmers of a proper income.
By buying a mis-shapen but wholesome tomato from your local market, you're putting something back into what you're taking.
How many theiving scallies do you see stealing from the farmers market? Compared with how many you see stealing their daily supply of white lightening from Sainsburys.
Btw, re some of the above posts, I think by registering with TPB you actually get a wider choice of torrents.
Why anyone would use real details is beyond me, the sites blatantly insecure anyway, and it's not like they check your email address.
Mate, ur completely forgetting the fact that Excel isn't <i>just</i> used by home users & small businesses.
All well and good having such a clever suggestion - but how would propose companies as big as...say..HSBC for example..would implement a brand new application to do the same thing?
You'd have to look at reworking almost ALL processes involving the application (which, beleive me, is pretty substantial), retrain all staff, rewriting apps which aren't compatible with anything other than Excel..
I'm all for GNU, I say it time and time again, but come on man..wakey wakey!
Dude - haven't you forgotten the huge company & corporation networks that are soley windows platforms? Some of the main figures of infected machines come from boxes that are on business networks
I dunno about you but as an IT consultant I sure as hell ain't gonna be leading the project to convert the entire company to a new platform - including re-writing all internal applications, testing them, retraining ALL staff..etc..
I'm a linux fan, i've used it for over a decade - but mate - get real.
Big mahoosive get real in response to everything you've said.
You can be Paris' new best friend in her special lalaland house.
...lol....fannie engineer...
...come on, we have to move on. He would have wanted it this way.
(...thats actually me, giving an invisible person with a big white coat on a hug...:D )
don't pretend u know about it :P
what PBX systems were affected.....
....i wonder if its a meridian opt. 11c...
come on. my fellas from cleethorpes, and seriously, if that was true about the ufos - if they looked down at earth wondering where next to go on holiday im pretty sure lincolnshire would be in the lower half of their list...
mind u...i think clee and grimsby are at the bottom end of the "places in lincolnshire you'd go if it were the last place on earth" list :P
AGAIN! come on reg!
Incorrect use of the term hacking/hacker
Also had to giggle at this kid, "been 'hacking' for three years" yeah right...you've been using a computer for three years...:P
..completely incorrect, improper and unfair use of the term "hacking" :(
...use *nix.
..I hope thats not a picture of the HP server box i just threw out :P
Nice one Reg, something to giggle about on this dull day :D
good idea!
or iBollocks!
i wonder i'f they'd develop it for any of the newer sony ericssons
When I was 17, I managed to get a pretty decent technicians job for a small re-sellers firm
The set up was weird aside from the Scientology part - I wasn't allowed to leave this familys house for lunch, and I had to eat lunch with them at the table (i thought this OK coz I was allowed to smoke as much as I wanted..)
I went through a rough patch with my EX at the time, and was off ill with a tummy bug for a day...I came back and instead of sympathy - I received stern words along the lines of "You've let us down, only weak, wrong-doing people get down and ill"
They then asked if I'd like to take a read through some self help books, i thought "yeah why not" I was feeling low at the time and was open to any suggestions to pick myself up
I asked if I could take said books home to have a look through as I was busy at work - they said no. They said I had to be with other Scientologists whilst reading them, and that this had to be done at their house....
I said..hold on, I'm sorry I'm not religious in anyway, I'm not up for that...
The next day I had a letter entitled "Termination of Employment" under grounds that I was "underperforming"
I never signed a contract with them so I couldn't take it further with industrial relations.
My IT career was ruined and I had to work in a shop earning minimum wage for the next year. Thankfully I got myself back up and I'm running and IT department now ;)
These people are poison in our communities - they prey on the weak and persecute those who don't "buy in"
..read that headline and thing..."hrmmmmm" with a raised eyebrow?
do i need to grow up??? ;P
..coz the wrong company/person will get the payout from OK magazine when the pics are sold.
D'oh no million dolla fo yoooo mista photo maan
..pay for the respray (or do it yourself) and pick it up from its location....does that count as free? :P
..start printing posters of that picture so I can hang one up in work (I'm the network woman)
I'm all for free speach, neutrality & all that jazz, I'd say I'm quite a hardcore advocate of such things..
But can't you agree that joking about killing babies isn't really a laughing matter? Free speach or not - to cause so much upset and panic to new parents is not worth the advocacy of neutrality supporters.
Fair play, the sentence perhaps a little steep - but had you come across such threats after bringing a baby into the world wouldn't you be a little less lenient?
..mines the jacket coz I'm not staying here to watch people shun a "joke" that makes loving parents panic over their kids safety.
..give the little thing a break!
over priced yes
amazingly fun & cute (yes, cute, im a girl) yes indeed!
warm ur hearts, its christmas!
...how the devil anyone can spend that bl00dy long on the phone!?!?!
..mate, I do hope you're (for our reputations sake) not a network analyst of any kind..
.....wait.....do you work for the Government?
Half the UK has fibre networks now dude, so no patent awards fo yo.
AC @ Neil above has pretty much ironed out the glitch that was your suggestion but perhaps it might have been good to expand on what options actually would work..
Satellites.. duuh!
Or maybe if the Gov't actually replied to its councils emails or telephone calls - they wouldn't be wasting a whole load of our money [again]
Mines the greedy, wasteful bitch that just doesn't have a clue...yes Labour *ahem* Paris.
..thinking SMS as in Systems Management Server...
..uninstallboysarms.msi ?
...The Macedonians and/or the Romanians will be upset that the Ukranians did something "cool" and will wreak havoc upon the purpatrators to fuel their jealousy
No need to panic, or do anything, they'll all sort themselves out and we can go back to being ignorant to it all.
Unless I'm just being too old school here, I haven't graced the presence of an IRC server in over a year at least..
Putting on my jacket and heading to the pub..
AC - to be fair tho - that was a pretty funny thing to say
I bet you're a bubble burster irl.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH silly cow.
Once some guy tried to add me on facef**k and his profile pic was a pic of a wang....lmao.
If ur gonna spam - don't be subtle!
I wonder if the Isle of Man will jump on that wagon..
Heh, well expanded ;)
PC stands for Personal Computer - as much as I dislike using Mac, you can't say that the machine isn't a computing machine designed for personal use.
..Vista?...something that functions effectively would be a start...
How on earth do you think security solutions are found in the first place??
They're not just going to go "Oh, its insecure, theres the flaws.... Bummer"
Whether social engineering is a risk or not - if you tighten the locks on the first door, it'll always take longer to reach the second.
You have to remember security isn't just about making sure some "hacker" can't compromise your network. The levels and varied factors in security are much more widespread that that initial risk.
You also have to remember, a good security specialist ain't going to give out his ever so precious information over a blonde hussie - I know I certainly wouldn't trust my networks with a ladies man with no concern about data integrity when compromised with money or other treats...Each to their own, but if thats who you're dealing with I suggest you re-consider your current contracts ;)
Positively - it's good to see Queens finally being put on the map, its a damn good Uni, with some incredibly talented students and staff. Its about time they were given an opportunity like this.
Plus, they have the most amazing cafes with the worlds cheapest full Irish breakfasts just round the corner, mmmm ^_^
..Stop, because you need to take a little time to think.
Silly you! we all know who you are now - you can post your name if you like! :D
Awww bless. They're scared look..
I'm looking forward to hearing how interviews in 5 years + go for security experts for the gov't
MI5 IT security manager of 30 years - "So, how developed is your previous experience within network security fields..?"
Post Grad - "I can use Active Directory"
Manager - "..anything further? I mean, have you had no practice in becoming a security expert??"
PG - "No Sir, you arrested my fellow students 5 years ago for trying to learn about that stuff.."
...thats probably not the sort of wording they'd use...oh well....Doors Officially Open, well done the Law, now you can employ even more underqualified idiots to look after your country! Here, take my tax and give it to them!
..the "excuses" Gene too?
..I wonder if they use Lotus Notes..?
I just have this image of 3 yr old chinese kids hacking lotus notes archives - which is impossible - they're completely unsecured anyway :P
..so long in Jail??
Aren't there dealers, terrorists, murderers and voilent psychos they could be concentrating on??
I hid in the MBR for 3 whole minutes before the other kids counted to 100 and found me.
..if this were a case against someone who'd (for example) gained access to sensitive data locally, or retreived data etc etc - the prosecution would be laughed out of court because they had given the defendant access information freely and willingly
Why doesn't that apply here?
IT with a question mark because "nobody understands" *sniff sniff*
Screw the article for a second - that girls only 15!?!?! have you SEEN the way she dances on stage? Let alone some of the somewhat questionable lyrics she's made to "sing"
If that were my daughter I'd be having stern words
Not really a great role model
Paris, coz Mileys teetering in her stilletto footsteps..
"1 (1) A person is guilty of an offence if
(a) he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer, [Text added 2007-10-01 (Scotland) by Police and Justice Act 2006 s.35(2).] [Not yet in force elsewhere in the UK.] [This addition to be cancelled by Serious Crime Act 2006 s.61(2).] or to enable any such access to be secured ;"
Does this mean Vistas illegal in Scotland until its amended out??
..some valid justification to give less time in Jail to a convicted rapist than to someone who throws a few angry packages about.....
...it is there but they miss the data, or its not even detectable....
who wins then? hrmmmmmm
paris, with the quizzical look of nuclear questioning plastered all over her face like concrete...or makeup...I can never tell the difference.
Noted - its crazy now, its more likely (as far as the law is now moving) that you will get a longer jail-term in the UK for DDoSing a website that you will for statutory rape.
Act Now! These Geeks will destroy the human race!
lol @ newbish comeback
well done colin!

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Gregg Breinberg, the musical and chorus teacher at PS 22 in Graniteville -- whose chorus has become an Internet sensation, drawing over 3 million viewers on YouTube for their renditions of songs like "Eye of the Tiger" -- will appear on "The Bonnie Hunt Show" tomorrow.
During the show, Breinberg will speak about the joys of teaching, the change he has seen in his students as a result of the musical program and his reaction to the media attention they have been receiving.
The chorus, which has performed for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden and newscaster Paula Zahn, has earned kudos from Ashton Kutcher, Rob Dyrdek and gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
The episode, which was taped in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, airs at 2 p.m. on NBC.

Wow. I don't know the full details but if Franco won the fight he would be a world champion which would open doors for bigger paydays.
Tough start to 50 cent's boxing promotion venture. Dib's fight gets cancelled, no one knew Dirrell was even fighting yesterday and then you have the Gambos PEDs scandal.

(Here's what ESPN's Dan Rafael wrote about this story: )
Claiming he is retiring, featherweight contender Luis Franco has stopped training and withdrawn from a world title challenge against Billy Dib, Franco co-manager Henry Foster told ESPN.com on Sunday.
The fight was scheduled to take place March 1 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., and headline a "Friday Night Fights" card on ESPN2.
"He pulled out, stopped training and I can't explain it unless it's a psychotic episode," Foster said. "I don't want to say he got scared. I don't know what else it is. He's fought tougher guys. It's inexplicable. For 20 years (as an amateur and professional), Luis Franco has labored for this opportunity to fight for a world title. I have four years invested in his career and bundles of cash and it's inexplicable."
The promoters of the card, Lou DiBella and rapper 50 Cent, will begin looking for a replacement opponent for Dib to make his third title defense against.
Besides Franco's sudden retirement, the fight was in danger of falling apart over legal issues pertaining to Franco's promotional agreement. He is co-promoted by Richard Dobal's Bad Dog Productions and Gary Shaw. However, Shaw was looking at taking legal action because the fight was made without his involvement or permission and he would be owed a share of money from the event.
"First he said, 'I'm not fighting for $20,000' and then it was, 'I'm through with boxing, I'm retiring. This guy is broke and boxing is all he has done since he is 9 or 10," Foster said. "He pooh-poohed the purse. But we weren't holding any cards. He had fought for the mandatory position and lost (to Munoz). If you're ever broke 100 bucks looks like a lot, so he was still going to walk away from this fight with $12,000 (after taxes and paying his corner) and, we think, the world title. So nothing makes sense rationally. He had been training for three weeks and he had just started sparring."
Dib (35-1, 21 KOs), 27, of Australia, was originally supposed to face mandatory challenger Mauricio Munoz of Argentina. Munoz won a controversial split decision against Franco (11-1, 7 KOs) in an October final elimination bout to get the title shot. But Munoz, citing an injury, withdrew from the bout. That is when the IBF, which is sanctioning the fight, ordered Dib to face Franco, the next leading available contender.
A deal was made and the fight set for March 8. In fact, Franco, along with Dib, participated in a national teleconference on Jan. 24 to promote the fight. On the call, Franco was enthusiastic about the fight.
"I want to thank my management team for having gotten me to this point. I want to thank ESPN and Foxwoods as well as (show promoters) Lou DiBella and 50 Cent," Franco said. "We're ecstatic about being a part of (rapper 50 Cent's) first show and we think he's great for boxing. My message to Billy Dib is whatever he has to say to me he can say it to me in the ring the night of fight."
Four days after the call, Foster, who co-manages Franco with Bobby Goldwasser, said he took the bout agreement to the gym for Franco to sign, but he refused. Foster said the terms had already been agreed to, which is why Franco participated in the promotional teleconference and the fight was formally announced.
"There was a bit of a delay getting the contract after we had a verbal deal, but we had talked about the money," Foster said.
Franco could not be reached for comment.
Foster said the 31-year-old Franco, a 2004 Cuban Olympian now based in Miami after defecting and turning pro in 2009, was due to receive $20,000 and that the management had agreed not to take a cut of it.
"When you're training for a fight to become a world champion and when you win you know you're going to make real money what could anyone say to dissuade you?" Foster asked. "If you put 20 years of your life into a career that culminates in this opportunity and you reject it what can be your motivation? That is what the fear factor comes into my mind. I've been a manager for close to 25 years and never had this experience of a guy bailing from a world title fight when he is not injured."

Combat Creatures Attacknid Stryder is a six-legged robot that moves with spider-like motions across multiple terrains, including carpet, grass, and snow. Kids control Stryder using the wireless R/C handset, which uses 2.4 GHz chip technology to allow multiple robots to battle at one time or multiple robots to be controlled from a single handset. You'll need to sync the handset and the robot before you play by turning on the handset and then turning on the robot. Wait two to three seconds before pressing any of the directional buttons on the handset, and then the syncing process will be complete. The instructions say that the light on the handset will flash red until you press the button, but ours actually flashed green sometimes and red sometimes.
There are two modes of play. Training mode lets kids practice moving the robot and firing the 12 included darts. Wow! Stuff says the darts can fly up to 50 feet. We never quite got that distance, but it was close enough for satisfying play. In Battle mode, kids can take on their friends Attacknids, which are sold separately, for competitive play. Aim for the enemy Attacknid's battle brain, and if it receives three direct shots, the robot shuts down. If you hit the Attacknid's Exploda-Armor on its legs in just the right spot, the armor will pop off.
The design is both clever and sophisticated, and kids who like robots and robotics will very likely be fascinated by this toy. Even though it's pretty cool on its own, the play is limited to moving the robot around and target practice. The real intention of this toy is for it to be used in battling with other Attacknids, and that means either finding a friend who already has one or investing in two toys, which can get kind of expensive for some people. In Battle mode, the leg armor can be popped off if it's hit with another dart, for instance, which is pretty cool. If you don't want to invest in a second toy, we're pretty sure kids can come up with creative ways to use Nerf blasters or other blasters to bring the battle to life.
Combat Creatures Attacknid Stryder is for ages 6 and up.
The robot requires four AA batteries and the remote requires two AA batteries. No batteries are included.
Additional ammo and accessories are sold separately.
The toy really does seem a little flimsy for how expensive it is. Also, the leg armor, when it does pop off, is very difficult to get back on, so it takes a little concentration. Sometimes we found, if you put one on another it falls off, so that can be kind of frustrating. Finally, the canister that holds the darts has to be put in exactly right or the darts won't fire, and that also gets to be frustrating and takes a good amount of trial and error.

I think this is the appropriate forum. When a pilot decides to rejoin the Army Reserve how is their job protected? I found 1,000 sites describing the reservists rights for job protection and reemployment but what about the employers rights? When is a basis for "undue hardship?" typically recognized.
I specifically mention 'pilot' because a small flight department must spend a great deal of money in annual training expense. If a pilot takes leave, the position has to be filled, the training budget is then exhausted. Is the employer required by law to furlough the newly hired pilot after the reserve pilot returns from recurrent training (this would put the training budget in the RED)?

User (or voter)-created media provides an instantaneous and widely-consumed venue for debate, critique and fact-checking of political candidates, but Thursday's WebbyConnect panel in Laguna Beach, Calif. was unable to reach a consensus as to whether the candidates themselves were ready to surrender their top-down spin control in favor of a truly bottom-up free market of ideas.
Old game, new tools
Andrew Rasiej, the founder and publisher of Personal Democracy Forum and Tech President.com had a somewhat grim view of the actual dialogue. "It's direct mail for the 21st century," he said referring to the influential lobby MoveOn.org. "It's not the robust participatory democracy it could be." He said that candidates like Hillary Clinton, who recently invited users to vote for her campaign's theme song, were really just harvesting an e-mail address list.
The famously viral "Vote Different" video that targeted Clinton with a remixed dystopian Apple ad was so popular because Web citizens found that she was saying one thing and doing another online, said Rasiej. "She claimed it was a debate, but the questions were all preselected and filtered." Rasiej believes that Clinton's campaign managers wanted to capitalize on the online community but "didn't understand" that the dialog has to be free and open to gain the trust of the Internet community. Four million viewings later, Clinton's campaign has "woken up" he said.
The panelists noted that many politicians allow finite debate and video posting in so-called "walled gardens" of their campaign websites and MySpace pages, but haven't yet embraced open-source politics. "The politician who fails to recognize the trend does so at their own risk," said Rasiej.
Barack Obama's campaign (which of course had nothing to do with the Apple ad) is also backwards thinking, several panelists noted. The webmaster running the Obama MySpace site–with 160,000 supporters–asked Obama for a salary, $39,000, and was refused. "That's 25 cents a voter and they said no," said Raseij. "Keep in mind, campaigns often spend one dollar per email address for mailing lists."
New game, new players
Steve Grove, head of News and Politics at YouTube, was more optimistic. His site has seen an unprecedented rise in user-created political dialog in the form of videos and "…anything that brings more people to the table is a great first step."
"It's a conversation, not a distribution mechanism," said Grove. "It's so antithetical to the way politics has been run for the past 30 years."
Tools like Meetup and Eventful allow regular citizens to choose when and where the real-world debates happen, as well, essentially giving citizens a voice to demand the discussion come to them in person.
One audience member asked about the infamous "Don't Tase Me, Bro" video of a student agitator getting tasered by security at a John Kerry speech. "Are we in danger of high-keyed, emotionally-driven politics in this trend, are we being desensitized to real issues?"
Raseij responded "What's shocking about that video is that John Kerry said nothing."
The panelists agreed that in an era of horizontally accessible media, fact checking, like that done by panelist Viveca Novak of Annenberg Fact Check, at the University of Pennsylvania, becomes increasingly crucial.
"The Internet is a blessing and a curse," she said. "There's great information and a great deal of disinformation," noting that her website busted Bill Richardson for including bogus facts in his YouTube videos. "Now we are drinking from the firehose.
"There's a low barrier to entry, but many [participants] aren't armed to the teeth with facts, as they should be," said Grove. "But I don't share Andrew's disdain for MySpace politics. This is an era of intense experimentation. Not all top-down politics is a bad thing."
In an election with no incumbent, and a range of candidates as diverse as America has ever seen (female, African-American, Mormon, pro-choice Republican, etc.) new media throws an additional curveball into an already unstable game. The real question is whether new voters and non-voters will turn out as a result of the YouTube revolution. Online registration, mobile phone voting information and a bevy of other technologies designed to get out the vote can become "the digital equivalent of walking the precinct and knocking on doors," said Raseij.

I haven't forgotten about Kitty's fiber query. I promise to talk about the warmth of wool next week!
As you know just by the title of this blog, wool and cats are inseparable for me. If you love cats and don't know about the series Simon's cat (or even if you do!) I wanted to share these with you.
For fans of Mr. Bean, you will quickly understand the title of today's blog
And for those of you who have cats and are getting ready to decorate your Christmas tree, Simon commiserates with you!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Which religion will usher in an era of peace?
One scholar's answer makes that question seem like a trick. It can be found in the new issue of the Atlantic Monthly, which follows the November issue of The Economist and asks the question, "Which Religion Will Win?" Inside are articles on "The Contest for Africa," "America's Evangelical Future" and "The Coming Religious Peace."
The last piece is what really caught my attention. I wondered, How could this be? How could we be primed for religious peace after a history of warfare, from David collecting the foreskins of 200 slain Philistines to the 500-year-long and mostly bloody war between Catholics and Protestants to the hatred between Sunnis and Shiites (and Kurds for that matter) preventing Iraq from creating a cohesive society?
The answer, according to scholar and scribe Alan Wolfe, is simple: None.
Agree or disagree with the prediction, there is logic to Wolfe's argument, one he borrows from Marx and Freud and Weber.
Wolfe writes, "When God and Mammon collide, Mammon usually wins," which is a bit too broad but often rings true. Nowhere is there more Mammon for most than in the United States, and religion has responded to the many demands placed on our lives in the pursuit of Mammon by making participation more convenient and more entertaining.
But, at the same time, the churches that are hiring the MBA-carrying applicants, the churches that are growing, are also the churches less tolerant of the tenants of secularism. Whereas the churches that are more traditional, the churches that are dying, are on the liberal end of the Christian spectrum.
If you look at the graph below from the magazine, based on data from Pew, it's incredibly clear that the United States is anomalous for the religious devotion of its denizens.
But does this mean American religion is destined for a "bubble burst," so to speak? I don't think so. The talk of the U.S. going the way of Europe—of empty churches and godless worldviews—is overblown. Especially when considering the fact that right now Mammon is becoming a lot harder to come by.

Do you have to be smart to homeschool?
So what characteristic(s) do you need to homeschool?
Dedication to your child(ren).
That's pretty much it. Everything else flows out of that. Junior needs help with maths? I am dedicated to finding out a way of helping him. Janey wants to learn French? I am dedicated to finding a way for her to learn, whether it's using a native-French-speaking tutor (because there's one available, and I can afford their fees) or finding a good online language program for free (because http://www.livemocha.com/ is brilliant!)
I believe that if you are a fit parent, you are fit to homeschool.
Now this is not to say there won't be challenges. There will be plenty of challenges. You will need all your dedication, all your patience, all your will and strength to do this. You will need your self-control to make you do the work, day after day. Find a way to make it interesting. Find a method that will help your child learn and understand. Learn how they learn, understand what they need to understand. Help them to know that education is more than just sums and spelling, but to also know that sums and spelling are important, because they are some of the basic skills required to communicate with others, to get your needs met.
You also need people. Other people. Your husband (because homeschoolers are usually women) to support you, your family and friends to accept you, and other homeschoolers to talk to, to tell you that, Yes, life happens, and Junior and Janey can be real little brats about doing their maths at times. Someone to listen to you rant, to console you when you're tired, and to suggest some new curriculum that might fit in with your educational philosophy and/or your child's preferred learning style. Someone to tell you what an educational philosophy is, or to explain about learning styles. Life can be hard without these other people, and if you're dedicated to your child(ren), and have decided that the best thing for them is homeschooling, then you need to get your own support network going. You have to be dedicated about your own needs, too.
Once you've got the dedication, you can branch out from there. You can consider educational philosophies. You can look at curricula, and think about the interesting extras that your children might be interested in, or that won't interest them initially, but would be useful to have in the backs of their brains in 10, 20, 30 years time. Without this dedication, however, you may find yourself maneuvered into a position that you cannot maintain, and experience the exhaustion that comes from being something or someone that you are not.
Well, that's food for thought. Hopefully it was coherent, and actually said what I wanted it to say.

Edinboro puts tough schedule to test at EWLs
Edinboro wrestled eight dual meets against ranked opponents this season, including a trip to Iowa to tangle with the No. 2 Hawkeyes, along with the Midlands Championships.
The 17th-ranked Fighting Scots will look for that schedule to start paying off today when they host the Eastern Wrestling League tournament at McComb Fieldhouse.
"I definitely think it got us ready for the end of the season," said fourth-ranked sophomore 141-pounder Mitchell Port, one of Edinboro's four returning NCAA qualifiers. "The Iowa match I think was really important for us. Going out there is a lot like the postseason."
The Scots figure to need an edge today, when they'll be a home underdog in the team race to No. 16 Pittsburgh.
The Panthers, in their final EWL tournament before leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season, are favorites to win a third straight title on the strength of their outstanding upperweights.
"We've been focused on trying to go out on top," said Pitt's third-ranked Matt Wilps, a two-time EWL champ ranked third nationally at 197 pounds. "Our whole team, all our seniors, we want to finish this season strong."
Bloomsburg, the EWL regular-season champ with one-point wins against Edinboro and Pitt, will make it a three-way race for the team title.
The Huskies and Panthers each have five ranked wrestlers. Edinboro has four.
Along with Wilps, Edinboro's No. 4 A.J. Schopp (27-3) at 133 and Clarion's No. 4 James Fleming (29-2) are returning champs. Pitt heavyweight Zach Thomusseit won at 197 in 2011 and redshirted last year.
The deepest weight classes are 133, 149, 157, 165 and heavyweight, where the top three place-winners qualify for NCAAs.
Two each at 141, 184 and 197 advance to nationals, with only the champion at 125 and 174 moving on.
Schopp, who like Port (28-3) ran up a solid Rating Percentage Index (RPI) against Edinboro's rugged schedule, is trying to take a strong step toward his first All-America finish.
Both reached the round of 12 last season as first-year starters.
"It's been a lot different this season after going through it once," Schopp said. "You're not going into the last few weeks without knowing what to expect. I know what I have to do. We all do."
No. 16 Dave Habat at 149 and No. 19 Ernest James at heavyweight round out Edinboro's ranked wrestlers. Habat (23-7), the returning runner-up, will be the slight favorite in a wide-open weight class.
"I'm ready to go," Habat said. "The last couple of weeks have just been about taking it one practice at a time and focusing on the little things."
Wrestling begins at 10 a.m. The medal round start at 5:45 p.m.

Holiday Traditions: 5 Family Friendly Activities for Valentine's Day
family fun • family fun-traditions
Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to create memorable fun activities for your family. We spend so much time working, as well as going from one activity or practice to another. It seems like so many things occupy our time, but it's important to find time to reconnect with those we love. As adults we get caught up in the romance of Valentine's Day. This year, spend Valentine's with your children whether they are preschoolers, elementary age, tweens, or teens.
5 Ways to Bring Your Family Together on Valentine's Day
- Enjoy a Valentine's Day breakfast together. Heart-shaped pancakes with toppings like red, pink, or heart sprinkles, strawberries, powdered sugar, or whipped topping are sure to be a big hit. For the little ones, add strawberry syrup to their milk. Who knows, the older kids might enjoy it too!
- Make Valentine's Day cookies. Kids love to help in the kitchen! Get out the heart-shaped cookie cutter, as well as the cookie dough, sprinkles, and icing. Get the family around the kitchen counter, bar, or table and make cookies that everyone can enjoy.
- Have a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt. Hide hearts around the house inside and out (weather permitting) with clues to get to the next hearts leading to a Valentine's Day surprise. Work together as a family or as teams for larger families.
- Make homemade Valentine's Day cards for a local nursing home or assisted living home. This family activity takes a little prep work but is definitely worth it. Call a nearby nursing home a few days in advance to get permission to hand out the cards and the number of people living there. Some homes can be rather large so you may want to visit a hall or wing. Dedicate a night or two before Valentine's Day to make homemade cards with sweet messages inside. Deliver the cards to the nursing or assisted living home on Valentine's Day as a family.
- Eat out at a special restaurant (older kids might enjoy this). If a fancy meal out is not in your budget, create the atmosphere at home. Decorate with inexpensive candles from the dollar store. Place pink and red paper hearts throughout the dining area. Add candy conversations hearts as confetti on the table. You can usually find themed plates and napkins at the dollar store as well. It is possible to cook a nice meal for a fraction of the cost of eating out so choose a family favorite. After the family meal, surprise everyone with a special Valentine's Day dessert like chocolate dipped strawberries, pineapples, and marshmallows.
What fun ways will you be spending time with your family this Valentine's Day?

Great ideas! I like making Valentine's Day cards for a local nursing home. That's such a nice idea and reinforces the message to kids to we need to make others feel special.
We do little things on Valentine's Day that say "I Love You." I'll knock something off my husband's to-do list, cut my daughter's sandwich into a heart shape, or we'll surprise the kids at school and take them out to lunch. We may even make a romantic dinner where the kids help cook and serve Mom and Dad as waiters.
It's all fun.
[…] Valentine's Day has some of the best candy, wouldn't you agree? For me, Valentine's wouldn't be Valentine's without conversation hearts. I love to put these little goodies out in a dish during this holiday so everyone can grab a handful and read the message on their heart. This year, I decided to make some cute jars to put on my counter to show off some of my treats. I purchased a kit for this project at The Wood Connection so I wouldn't have to go hunting for all the items separately. If you prefer to customize your project, go for it. Any craft store would carry wooden candle sticks, bases, and glass jars. Here is a quick tutorial to help you create the project. […]

Love this whimsical quilt back! Makes me curious about the front of Samuel's quilt.

Susan, I added a picture of the front. It's not very sharp. The blocks are whimsical jungle animals printed at at odd angles so they look crooked. The quilt was a kit purchased in 2009 from Fabric Depot in Portland, OR.

text: Governor Corbett has made clear he is declaring war on the pensions of public employees. However, let's remember how this crisis was created. In 2000, the stock market was solid and the teacher pension fund was at about 125% of what was needed to keep the promise of current and future retirees' pension payments. So, the state and school districts decided to take a gamble and stopped paying into the fund. Teachers never stopped or reduced their amount paid. The handwriting was on the wall. The stock market crashed and now there is crisis.

Pedestrian killed while crossing busy Indio roadway
Police looking into whether dead man had been jaywalking
A pedestrian was killed Wednesday morning after he was hit by a motorist in a pick-up truck.
It happened just before 6 a.m. on Monroe Street, south of Doctor Carreon Boulevard.
The man whose name hasn't been released, died at the scene. Police say he was in the middle of the street when he was hit.
The driver stopped and is cooperating with the police investigation.
Police are looking into whether the man who was killed was jaywalking at the time of the crash.
"Most people think all pedestrians are going to have the right of way no matter where they at, so why did the driver hit him, what was the driver doing, that's not always the case," said Indio Police spokesman, Ben Guitron. "The vehicle code in California holds the pedestrian and the person driving equally responsible when crossing or doing things on the road."
Monroe Street was closed south of Doctor Carreon for a few hours during the investigation.

Summary: A nice steady hike, makes for an excellent winter hike. The incline was only sharp in one small spot. People has success with both snowshoes and crampons.
There is a small tower on the summit which ensures panoramic views. The tower is glassed in so you can stay relatively warm in the winter.
Trailhead: From Route 302 in N. Conway / Interval take the Hurricane Mt Road almost across from the rest stop / overlook / tourist center. Follow this road for a mile or two and watch for the parking area / sign on the left. (Lat:44.10574 Lon:-71.09416)

I hiked this with my husband and our dog. It was a good day trip - it took us a little under 4 hours to do. It was a little too much "in the woods" hiking for my taste, but our dog loved it! Great for hiking with pets - no cliffs, ledges or boulders to worry about (just mud!) There is a little brook that runs along the end of the trail where they can swim. We hiked on 6/11/2014 and the bugs were pretty bad. Great views from the tower at the top though!

Great hiking spot. Peaceful, and a pretty good workout. Yellow dot trails could be better marked though, we lost the trail twice on the way up.

They might have been the most exciting community college football games in the state the last two seasons.
And it would be no surprise if it were one of the most exciting games this season.
College of the Canyons (2-1) and Fullerton College (3-0) resume what has turned into quite a rivalry the last couple of the seasons when the Cougars host the Hornets at 7 p.m. today.
The Cougars survived last season's meeting, despite Fullerton driving deep into COC territory late in the fourth quarter.
Fullerton fumbled on the COC 18-yard line with 1:28 left in the game. The Cougars recovered and held on for a 34-28 win.
They weren't as fortunate in 2007, as COC blew an 18-point third-quarter lead and lost 32-31.
"Talk about great games," said COC head coach Garett Tujague. "It's been a battle and it's usually come down to the last few plays of the game. They're a well-coached team. They have good athletes. It's a good program and we're evenly matched as far as ability and talent."
One commonality that both teams have is they're deep.
Both COC and Fullerton have been platooning players on both sides of the ball.
Also, both teams are coming off games in which they lit up the scoreboard.
The Hornets pounded Moorpark 70-17 last Saturday, compared to COC's 59-7 thrashing of Los Angeles Valley College.
But the 70 points and the 49 points per game Fullerton is averaging this season are somewhat deceptive numbers in terms of the offense.
The Hornets are 23rd in the state in total offense.
"The first thing is our defense has been playing well," explained Fullerton head coach Tim Byrnes. "Special teams have scored a special teams touchdown every game and we've been efficient in the red zone."
Tujague said after watching film, he noticed that Fullerton's defense has been giving its offense great field position throughout the season.
And on the offensive side, running back Kenny Turner is averaging 6.5 yards per rush, has scored five touchdowns and has 293 rushing yards.
Fullerton, like COC, has shuffled quarterbacks. Kyle Essington and Darius Banks have shared time.
Byrnes said he plans on doing the same thing today.
COC's Justin Morales took a majority of the snaps at quarterback in the LAVC victory, yet Tujague isn't ready to anoint him as COC's starting quarterback.
Also, Nick Hale scored three touchdowns and ran for 148 yards, yet the Cougars are deep at the running back position and Tujague said he plans on working in multiple players.
Tujague said last week's victory was not a statement game after the Cougars suffered a stunning 17-14 loss to Santa Barbara City College Sept. 12.
It was a sort of recovery.
If there's a statement to make, it would probably be this game against the state's No. 5 team.
"Here we are, the two weeks after this catastrophic loss playing a very good football team. We'll see where we stand," Tujague said.
