BRIDGETON — The negative effect of record rainfall which fell on New Jersey in March goes beyond flooded roads and basements.
That's something the Cumberland County Department of Works knows all too well, whose workers are busy dealing with acres of standing water which have gathered in "lakes" throughout the county — perfect breeding ground for one of summer's most unwelcome pest, the mosquito.
The county department of public works isn't doing much different this year in preparation of what New Jersey mosquito control officials expect to be a surge in the area mosquito population after March's record precipitation.
They're just doing more of it.
The head of the county public work department's mosquito control division reported this week that the county has been putting down more "larvicide" in order to curtail the development of mosquitos before they even have the chance to stretch their wings.
Larvicide is insect growth regulator. It comes in a granular or briquette form and is added to standing water to prevent larvae growth.
"We're using double to triple what we used last year because of the vastness of these woods pools ... they're wood lakes," Heather Lomberk, an entomologist who heads the mosquito control division of the county department of public works, said Thursday. "We just started getting mosquito bite calls last week. Surprisingly, we're not finding as many larvae out there."
According to Lomberk, the lack of larvae might could only mean that the mosquitoes have yet to find the new breeding ground, which makes the pre-treatment process even more important.
The state also sprays larvicide from planes in the county's marshy Bayshore area.
There are many advantages to this type of mosquito combat.
While state and federal regulations do not permit Lomberk to call larvicide "safe", she points out that insect growth regulator that the county uses is actually labeled suitable to put into the drinking water of horses.
Pesticides designed to kill full-grown mosquitoes are more potent.
"Adultciding," killing full-grown mosquitoes using pesticides, "should be the last thing you do," Lomberk said.
County mosquito control workers begin selective adultciding in the summer, but only as a last resort.
"It's not the most effective way of controlling mosquitoes," Lomberk said. "You have an animal here that does not follow rules. It just flies around looking for a blood meal. We're looking for their sources."
Residents can do a lot to help control the area's mosquito population.
"A lot of residents call us and scream at us. They say, 'The mosquitoes are terrible. They're coming from the lake.' Then we go out to their yard and find standing water in open containers in their own yard," Lomberk said.
Lomberk said that mosquito larvae can develop in something as small as a bottlecap full of water.
"Standing water goes beyond a flower pot. Your gutters have to be kept clean. Tires and anything that can collect water should be emptied. Pool covers are a big problem (as are) kiddy pools," she said. "It can only take four days for a mosquito larvae to develop into a full-grown mosquito."
If a resident has gotten rid of all the standing water in their yard and they still are being eaten alive by mosquitoes, they should contact the county department of public works.
The number there is 453-2192.

Scotch Plains botanical art dealer, Susan Frei Nathan Fine Works on Paper, has been invited to be one of the new vendors participating in the revamped Garden Sculpture and Antiques Fair: 1750 – 2013 at The New York Botanical Garden.
Specializing in contemporary watercolors and drawings on paper and vellum, Susan Frei Nathan will have a large selection of her works on display April 26 -28. She will also be available to discuss private botanical commissions, and the increasingly popular florilegium that people are having done for their gardens.
As Susan explains in her blog: "A florilegium in sketchbook format is a personal record of a family's plant-life, a bit larger than pocket-size; one can appreciate the book format to enjoy on the lap, display in a case near the front door of the home, changing pages ever so often, or in the living room for conversation. It enables the client to enjoy their plantings year round."
But mainly on display will be the watercolors and drawings from artists Susan has carefully selected to exhibit. Since 2002, Susan has been engaged in promoting the place of botanical painting and drawing within the fine art market. The artists she represents showcase the finest in this vibrant field. They will be in perfect company at The New York Botanical Garden.

That was great sure let's all just laugh if we didn't we'd cry no point 2 that except it make us feel better so does laughin honest to god.
That is absolutely HILARIOUS. When they're good those guys are THE BEST. The voices are unbelievably spot-on — it is like listening to actual Joan and actual Brian. We want MORE — the demeanour — the expressions — priceless — and Vincent B to a T — pure unadulterated fun — nothing crude — nothing cringeworthy — nothing racist — and so much more funny because of it. Sure you haven't "arrived" if you haven't been impersonated by this lot — comedy gold. More please!! The politicians will be queuing up!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry or to giggle through some sniffles or to bawl my eyes out with the odd guffaw thrown in.
They did a brilliant take on Sarah Carey last week — hilarious!……just kidding, Sarah was brilliant!

The latest of the Guinness Made of More television adverts has been created and will be released on to screens tomorrow, the 24th January.
Centred around a clock and the idea that this can dictate time, the advert depicts several scenes all of which are changed by the clock that is made of more – resulting in better outcomes for the fictional habitants of the town below.
The clock turns back when disaster strikes giving residents time to avert a fire, speeds up to avoid monotonous chores and slows down during romantic celebrations.
Initially, the Made of More campaign began with a journey of a simple cloud but this instalment feels much more personal and closer to the brand and its values.
Speaking about Guinness' Made of More campaign, Nick Britton, Guinness Marketing Manager at Diageo, said: "Made of More' is the single biggest Guinness campaign to date, which kicked off in October 2012 with an advert entitled 'Cloud'. We will continue to invest in Guinness throughout 2013 to drive its point of difference versus other brands in the beer category.
"The extraordinary clock in this advert is Made of More and has the ability to enhance peoples' lives; we expect the clock to strike a chord with Guinness drinkers who are also Made of More and do not settle for the ordinary; who love the distinctive look and taste of Guinness and aspire to get the most out of every aspect of their lives"

The Rise Above Festival, held Saturday in Brandon Park at the center of Williamsport, was one day of gathering around music, food, games, and testimony.
Many who performed, attended or organized for Saturday's event hope that this one day of fellowship will inspire some people to lead lives that "rise above" the perceived reasons for fear in daily life here.
"We want to inspire people to rise above," said Bianca Hooper, one of the event's organizers. "Whether it's shootings, drugs, racism - people say, 'oh just white people are racist,' but every

one can be racist, what I see on YouTube - whatever it is people are facing. Stereotypes, too. There's a stereotype that everyone who comes here from Philadelphia is negative. A lot of volunteers we have are from Philly, and they're not negative."
"We want to lift our voice up against negative activity in the city," said Vaughn Wilson, who has organized this day for four years now. A former Pennsylvania College of Technology student who lives in State College, Wilson has helped organize a cookout and movie nights throughout the summer.
Nine members from the Penn State chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, a traditionally black fraternity with a focus on service, made the trip to Williamsport to show off their stepping skills and tell of the travels that got them to college.
Kyle Paolucci grew up in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago.
"The South Side of Chicago may not be the safest place on Earth," he said. "I wanted to get out of there and do my parents proud."
Most of the fraternity brothers echoed the expectation that, in their families, it was "never an option to not go to college."
"This brotherhood is about inspiring young people, to encourage achievement," said Jeremy Jordan. "We're trying to be a staple to promote positive action, to inspire the African-American community to grow. Stepping is a traditional culture thing in all-black organizations, one of the ways to express our talent."
Volunteer Emily Gale lives on High Street, and hopes that events like Rise Above - which she said has grown every year - are only the beginning of people "making their voice heard."
"A lot that goes on that people don't know of," she said. "We need someone from Second Street, to be the voice of Second Street, to make a difference, to actually be heard. Stuff like this gives people hope, but people are going to go back to what was going on. Every year more and more people raise their voice."
Gale says that raising a child now "doesn't just take one family, it takes a whole community," and that there's only one requirement for people who would mentor the next generation:
"It can't be people who want personal gain from it. These kids have people come in and out of their lives. We need people who are committed and want to be there, not for any kind of glory. Motivate one person, and they'll motivate another person."
Up on stage, Walter McClinton, of Christ Community Worship Center, was exhorting the crowd to action: "Don't leave this place the same way that you came. This is not a show."
Mayor Gabriel J. Campana delivered a short address before a moment of silence held "against violent activities:"
"There's good behavior and there's bad behavior," Campana said. "There's good behavior and there's sin. The enemy is working overtime. The enemy is working in shootings. The enemy is working in drugs. We won't tolerate that behavior in Williamsport. I don't care if I get in trouble. I'm going to use my First Amendment rights, and say the individual who's going to help us the most is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

I tried to tell you this before, but you just don't listen to me. Oh, I'm sorry, for a second I was getting you folks confused with my pre-teen son. And his never-wrong father.
Anyway, as I was saying, I mentioned this in an earlier column but was generally jeered. However, I now have proof that Facebook is the root of all evil.
Sure, sure - you see the jokes and the photos and the word games and think it's super fun OK, so do I sometimes.
But it's clear that, as Pinteresting as it is to poke, post and otherwise publicize your status - there's more than meets the eye on certain Facebook pages. I mean, if cotton is the fabric of our lives, methinks Facebook is the potentially toxic lead thread woven into its seams especially now that it seems to be getting a big "dislike" on Wall Street. Oops, digression.
Back to the matter at hand, I find it hugely disturbing that Facebook is apparently a factor in roughly one in three divorces. Holy unnecessary bust-ups, Batman!
According to a U.K. survey by the legal services firm called Divorce Online, more than a third of divorce filings last year contained the word "Facebook."
Bloody heck!
Still unconvinced and thinking it's strictly an across-the-pond phenomenon?
Then, how can you explain this: the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers' recently revealed that more than 80 percent of U.S. divorce attorneys see a steady upward trend in the number of cases that reference "social networking" hmm?
Better make that hmpf.
Some of my nearest and dearest agree that Facebook's bad for couples, period. My pals Charleen Scott (formerly of Trumbull County) and Chris Ruggieri of Warren and the husband of my buddy Jessica Bloss of Beloit are all standing firm on this: no profiles for them, thanks anyway.
Perhaps Facebook founder / CEO Mark Zuckerberg should steer his new bride away from his brainchild at least until the honeymoon ends?
This may be especially useful considering that, according to his recent "60 Minutes" interview, Zuckerberg's own homepage contains a little white lie. Seems he claims to be a graduate of Harvard - the very school from which he dropped out to start the virtual entity that's connecting so many people ... to their divorce attorneys.
Sad hmpf.
Look, just because the average user has 130 Facebook friends (except my sister, who has about four million) doesn't mean she / he is necessarily e-flirting with all of them does it?
It's like I always say, if you wouldn't want your significant other to hear or read it, you shouldn't be saying or writing it. But, at the end of the day, Facebook doesn't cause marital discord - it's just that some people are using its powers for bad rather than good.
My advice? Treat it like table salt. A little bit for flavor sparingly is fine but over-indulge and you're just begging for trouble down the road, Facebook friends.

I am pretty certain nobody really cares about security updates for XP since they never seemed to really work anyway.

The single best reason to upgrade to ANYTHING else is 64BIT and memory above 2GB. DO NOT mention XP 64... that was never actually a product, otherwise it would have things like "Driver Support".

All in all XP was a pretty good OS once you tore it apart and rebuilt it the way you wanted it. The ENTIRE 3rd and 2nd world still operates on XP. I have to keep an XP laptop here at the business because all of the cellular software we use (from our factory in China) is XP only.

Alexy, a retired pastor, served Bethany for 23 years and was honored for his work in the church as well as the community. The church's hall also has been designated Alexy Hall as a tribute to him.
Pastor Paula Schmidt said the honor is a way for the church to enhance its heritage and recognize Alexy's contributions.

(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Carl Alexy and his wife, Dawn, are shown in the hall at Bethany Lutheran Church that has been renamed Alexy Hall. The church also bestowed the honor of pastor emeritus on Alexy during a service held Sunday. He served the church for 23 years.
Alexy said he was surprised to receive the honor, especially since it has been 19 years since he served the church as pastor. After leaving Bethany, he served Grace Lutheran Church in Bellwood for 10 years before retiring.
Originally from Philadelphia, he has served four churches, including two down East before coming to Altoona in 1971.
"Bethany is where I learned to grow as a pastor and where all my children grew up," Alexy said.
His son was 2 months old and his daughters were 3 and 5 when he and his wife, Dawn, came to Altoona.
"The people were always very kind and considerate of them," he said.
In the same way, Alexy was good to the children of the church and enjoyed having fun with them.
He remembers a time when the church underwent a major renovation with artist John Rita painting a mural of the Second Coming in the sanctuary and trumpe l'oeil imagery of woodwork and windows throughout the building. With scaffolding in place for Rita's work, Alexy decided to hold a confirmation class on it.
"This is a once in a lifetime chance," he said he told the students. "You'll never get this close to the dome again."
One of the men who remembers growing up in the church is Altoona resident Dennis Fasekas, vice president of the church council.
"It's hard to put into words how great a man he is," he said.
Fasekas, whose family was involved in the Boy Scout program at Bethany, remembers how he attended many Scout meetings at the church before they were members.
Yet, when Fasekas' mother was in the hospital, Alexy came to visit her.
The Sunday they did join the church, a youth in the congregation had a balloon that popped as the ceremony ended.
Alexy was quick to respond to the interruption.
"He said, 'That's a one-gun salute for joining the church,'" Fasekas recalled.
When he was a young adult, Fasekas joined a Sunday school class Alexy had dubbed the WABS. The initials stood for Wacky Alexy's Bible Study, he said.
But Alexy has a more serious side, too.
"You can talk to him about anything," Fasekas said. "He is easygoing and understanding."
Susan Taneyhill, also a member of the council, remembers his work with the younger generation.
"He had a great relationship with youth of all ages," she said. "He was their friend, yet they respected them."
But she believes his greatest asset is his ability to relate to special needs children.
She said they couldn't wait to greet him when they saw him and that he set up a Sunday school class for them.
The room where he taught them is inside Alexy Hall and is being converted into a library. An adult Sunday school class continues to meet in a portion of the hall, and it is the designated site for church meetings. It also includes a lounge and kitchenette where bridal or baby showers have been held.
Taneyhill of Hollidaysburg said although Alexy retired from a Lutheran church in Bellwood, the 23 years he spent at Bethany was an incredible amount of time for a minister to devote to one church.
"He was one of the longest serving ministers at Bethany," she said.
Rhonda Barry, council secretary, also recalled Alexy's relationship with the special needs kids.
"He just had a way with them," she said. "He knew how to teach and guide them."
Barry of Altoona said Alexy also taught special needs students at Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Juniata as part of the released time classes sponsored by the Ecumenical Conference of Greater Altoona.
Barry served on council for a time when Alexy was pastor and sang in the choir with him.
"He sang tenor and did a fantastic job," she said.
And at the Christmas Eve services, he told a story rather than deliver a sermon. It was a service that Barry always looked forward to attending.
"I've been down the road with several good Lutheran pastors. Pastor Alexy is one of them," she said.

It is a forgone conclusion that the Cincinnati Reds will be in the hunt for a leadoff hitter this offseason. After a season that saw the team's leadoff men produce an abysmal .254 OBP—worst in all of baseball by a long shot—who could blame them.
Actually, the only blame to be thrown around would be if they decided not to address the issue.
With such an obvious need, rumors and suggestions galore have already begun to fly. So, why don't we join in, analyze a few rumors and add a few suggestions of our own.
You are about to read about five leadoff men that make sense for the Reds to pursue—let's check them out.

Tennis great Rafael Nadal, current world No. 2 and reigning Olympic men's singles champion, will carry the flag for Spain at the opening ceremony of the London Games on July 27.
Nadal's designation was approved during a meeting at the Madrid headquarters of the Spanish Olympic Committee.
Sailors Iker Martinez and Xabi Fernandez were also in the running to carry the flag.
According to the committee's rules, the flag bearer should be the athlete with the most distinguished Olympic history who has not had the honor before and who can be present at the opening ceremony.
The sailing duo has a bigger medal haul than Nadal, having won gold in Athens in 2004 and silver in Beijing four years later, but they did not meet all the requirements.
Nadal won the men's singles gold medal in Beijing and also is the holder of 11 Grand Slam singles titles, the most recent coming earlier this month in Paris when he won a record seventh French Open. EFE

Made by Mr Denim
Denim with artificial flowers and wire
Great Britain
About 1970
Museum no. T.126-1996
This hat belonged to Patricia Harmsworth, Lady Rothermere. Famed for her colourful parties and generosity as a hostess she was also known for her exuberant and unconventional style of dress.
The informal, casual style of the hat with its large floppy brim and patchwork construction indicates the change in attitude toward hat wearing which occurred in the mid-20th century. As the high fashion world turned towards the emergent youth culture, traditional accessories such as hats, handbags and gloves were suddenly identified with an older generation and no longer regarded as essential items of dress. The use of recycled denim jeans, the inexpensive method of construction and the colourful, roughly applied nylon flowers show that his hat was designed with an eye toward the fast fashion of the youth market. Denim was not such a universal fabric and was still very much identified specifically with jeans, giving the hat a novelty value.

1. Just because the calendar says summer don't pack just summer clothes. You can get four seasons in one day there .
2. Don't change your money at the airport -- use the ATM at any bank it is a lot cheaper,it takes your American credit card and charges a much smaller fee and better exchange rates.
3. Don't rely only on an American Express card, it often is not accepted
4. Don't leave a tip in a restaurant until you ask if the service charge is included.
5. Don't ask for the subway, underground....Dublin/Ireland doesn't have one.
6. Dont' ask for a ride anywhere , it has got sexual connotations in Ireland
7. Don't affect a phony Irish accent, the locals hate it when you do even though they might smile and suffer.
8. Don't travel to Northern Ireland without changing your money beforehand to British currency -- and don't use the currency shops on the border --- they charge crazy rates.
9. Don't tip the bartender in the pub, it is just not done in Ireland.
10. Don't be without a GPS if driving. Signposts are often infrequent and sometimes misleading.

I've read a lot about Glamglow YouthMud Tingle Exfoliate Treatment and its supposedly amazing benefits so I was pretty psyched to get to try it out. Before I get into the details of my trial I should start by explaining a bit about my skin. I have combination skin that is weirdly sensitive; I don't tend to experience too many problems with the ingredients in most skincare products but I have a hard time using rough, granulated face scrubs as they tend to hurt and make my skin flare up.
I am a huge mud mask person and religiously use one as part of my relaxing Sunday routine, so I figured this product would be a welcome addition to my mask family. Most of the clay masks I use tend to be processed to a smooth and creamy paste, but the Glamglow mud has a grittier consistency and was actually a little painful for me to apply (again, this would mostly be due to my skin not coping very well with that type of exfoliation), which made the task of spreading it around my face a little challenging. Once it was on though, it was fine and behaved just like a regular mask with a very slight tingling feeling kicking in after about 3 minutes (which isn't surprising since it says on the box it is a "Tinglexfoliate Treatment"!).
For the full ten minutes the mask was on (okay, half of the ten minutes might have been spent reenacting scenes from The Mask and nailing my Jim Carrey impersonation…), I was dreading washing it off since the box tells me that this is when the real exfoliation takes place. Using warm water and a circular motion to remove the mask, I was surprised by how gentle it was to remove (especially after the hard time I had putting it on!) and I could really feel how soft my skin was underneath.
After I rid my bathroom of the dreaded mud monster, I noticed that my skin actually did feel quite deliciously smooth and soft. I'm not particularly plagued by wrinkles or big pores so I didn't notice any dramatic changes in terms of tightness of the skin or visibility, but I could feel how baby soft my skin had become. Although, since I didn't apply my moisturiser straight away, the after effects of the mask was that my skin felt very dry and parched, and had that "in-need-of-moisture" tight feeling to it.
Today I found that my skin was looking very smooth, radiant and dare I say it a little bit glorious, but ultimately I don't think I'll be using this mask weekly (maybe just once a month when it needs an extra pep). If you're the type of person (with the type of skin!) who enjoys a good scrub and wants a mask that provides you with a double injection of antioxidants and skin-loving goodness, then I fully recommend you give this beauty a run. But if you're like me and find intensive scrubs to be agony then this probably isn't the mask for you.

Weather hinders search for missing plane in Antarctica
Rescuers looking for three Canadians aboard an airplane presumed to have gone down in Antarctica were grappling with bad weather conditions Wednesday, as low visibility and strong winds hampered search efforts.
No information was available on the fate of the three men aboard the ski-equipped Twin Otter, which is owned by Calgary-based Kenn Borek Air.
A spokesman for the U.S. National Science Foundation — which operates a research station helping in the search for the missing plane — said the trio aboard the aircraft are thought to be Kenn Borek crew members — a pilot, a co-pilot and a flight engineer.
"My understanding is that it was just the flight crew and no passengers," said Peter West, who is based in Arlington, Va., and had been in touch with crews in Antarctica.
The plane was flying from the South Pole to an Italian base in Antarctica's Terra Nova Bay.
"The flight was under the auspices of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development," said West. "That's who the flight was in support of."
Kenn Borek Air, which is experienced in Antarctic aviation, was not able to immediately provide a comment when contacted by The Canadian Press.
Some Canadians discussing the incident on Twitter identified Kenn Borek pilot Bob Heath as one of those on board the missing plane. Calls to his residence were referred to the airline.
"Fingers crossed bigtime for friend Bob Heath - pilot of missing Kenn Borek Twin Otter down in Antarctic...25+ years experience extreme flying," tweeted one person.
"Bob is an amazing pilot and a wonderful man. If anyone can get through this it's him," tweeted another.
Few details were available on the condition of the missing aircraft, which began transmitting signals from its emergency locator beacon late Tuesday night.
"We don't know exactly what's happening other than that the beacon is still transmitting," said Capt. Jean Houde of the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton, Ont., which has been in touch with the New Zealand authorities in charge of the search.
"We don't know the condition of the people on board."
Houde said the beacon's ongoing signal was right on the plane's scheduled flight path.
The region is in New Zealand's area of responsibility and that country's Rescue Co-ordination Centre was organizing the search, working with U.S., Canadian and Italian authorities.
New Zealand Search and Rescue Mission Co-ordinator John Ashby said a DC3 aircraft had been flying over the site of the beacon, but heavy clouds prevented crews from searching the terrain below.
Ashby added that fixed wing aircraft and a number of helicopters were on standby, waiting for weather conditions to allow them to travel to the area where the plane was thought to have gone down.
"Weather conditions are extremely challenging," Ashby said.
"Conditions are forecast to worsen with snow becoming heavier. However, when weather conditions allow, a joint New Zealand and U.S. field rescue team is ready to go."
The plane carrying the three Canadians was equipped with survival equipment, said Ashby, including mountain tents and supplies which could last five days.
Earlier, a U.S. LC-130 aircraft had flown over the source of the locator beacon's signal, but was also unable to spot the plane due to heavy, low cloud.
The missing plane's beacon signal is coming from the north end of Antarctica's Queen Alexandra range, and the terrain is considered mountainous.
Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday that officials from the Canadian High Commission in Wellington, New Zealand, were working closely with local authorities.
"Search and rescue operations are currently underway. Consular officials stand ready to provide consular services as required," said spokeswoman Barbara Harvey.
Kenn Borek Air has been in operation since 1970. According to the company's website, 14 aircraft participated in its 2012 Antarctic season.
The company, which is also a fixture in Canada's North, has been sending planes to Antarctica for the past 28 years.
In 2001, its pilots and planes were involved in the daring rescue of an ailing American doctor from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
In 2009, the company was commissioned to recover an aircraft that had been involved in an accident nearly a year earlier. A 12-person Kenn Borek recovery crew spent 25 days at a remote field camp on the eastern side of the Antarctic Plateau to carry out the operation.

The Salvation Army has joined the World Evangelical Alliance in calling on Americans to pray for the Middle East.
Both groups say Christians are suffering throughout the region and desperately need our prayers and action as they face ongoing violence and death.
"The shedding of blood of Christians in our area is going beyond human imagination," Munir Kakish, chairman of the Council of Local Evangelical Churches in the Holy Land, said.
"Killing Christians just because they are Christian is not acceptable and should be stopped immediately," Kakish said.
Munir, WEA ambassador to the Holy Land, Rev. Harry Tees, and Rev. Charles Kopp, chairman of the Evangelical Alliance of Israel were in Washington this week.
They joined CBN News Chief International Correspondent Gary Lane for a roundtable discussion about the causes of the persecution, the role of Christians in the Middle East, and ways to help them. Click play to watch

Do you do a lot of searching in Windows Explorer? You can make it quicker and easier for yourself with a custom shortcut on your Desktop. We'll show you how to create a shortcut that opens Windows Explorer ready for you to begin a search.
OK. Now refine it such that you Explore, for example,only Excel files in that folder.
Of course that can be done by typing "type:xls" in the window you refer to,but it would be even better if the window opened with that option already set.
In Windows 7 you just hit the windows key and start typing, isn't that easier and give the same result?
I'd like a shortcut that searches only 1 folder a network share and its sub folders for just mp4 files, How would I accomplish that?
"Sorry just remembered, saved searches, will do what I asked about." But I Still think the Win Key and start typing is faster and easier then a search shortcut.

We apologize for such a slow stream of articles lately. There just isn't much to report at this time. Here are a few interesting reads from other blogs and sites:
Bill Schwartz of 710 ESPN Seattle makes his case for how much he thinks it will cost to retain Marshawn Lynch.
Brady Henderson of 710 ESPN Seattle says that cornerback Brandon Browner still has a chance to make the Pro Bowl on January 29.
Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times focuses in on tight end John Carlson, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this offseason.
John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports that the Seahawks have signed eight players to futures contracts. Normally, this would not be all that exciting; but given the success of Brandon Browner this past season, who was also signed to a futures contract last January, it might be a good idea to get familiar with some of these names.
Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog says that the Seahawks selecting Robert Griffin III is not as far-fetched or unrealistic as some may think.
Also from Staton: Rob offers an updated mock draft for the first round. The selected player he pairs with Seattle is the first one that I have seen like it.

Nurses criticise absence of information about new government health grants
Published 04/02/2007
The Irish Nursing Homes Organisation has hit out at the HSE for not giving people enough information about the new Government grants.
Increases in subvention payments were promised by the Health Minister in December, but so far no guidelines about the new rates have been published.
However, the figures have been given to health service staff.
"There is no clarity of purpose around about firstly, what people are entitled to and secondly, when they are likely to receive it," said INHO spokesman Tadhg Daly.
"So there is stress being caused to an unnecessary number of families across the country. There are almost 18,000 residents in private nursing homes, quite a large proportion of those would be on subvention. It's incumbent upon the Health Service executive to move swiftly to implement the increases and inform the public about their entitlements are."

With more than one-third of the games being close ones it's easy to see why special teams can play such a vital role in the outcome. With an average of four close games per season, special teams can make the difference between an average season and a good one.
Scott Fountain returned to the field in 2013 as a position coach after spending the previous four years as Auburn's director of football operations. He was assigned to coach Auburn's tight ends and H-Backs along with coordinating the special teams. Gus Malzahn named Fountain to his current position after Rich Bisaccia elected to pursue an opportunity to return back to the NFL rather than remain with the 2013 Auburn coaching staff.
Though it is often stated that special teams accounts for one-third of the game, the reality is that special teams accounted for 17.9 percent of the plays during Auburn's games over the past 25 years. On average special teams are on the field for about 35 snaps per contest or one every six plays.
Often special teams plays go relatively unnoticed unless a turnover or big play occurs. However, special teams performance is magnified when games are tightly contested deep into the fourth quarter.
It was the magnificent performance by Auburn's punt team that kept Florida State on a long field during the BCS Championship game, but a touchdown return surrendered late in the contest was a key play in the Seminoles rallying for the victory.
Steven Clark
Auburn returns the majority of its contributors from the 2013 SEC Championship squad, but must replace Steven Clark (punter) and Cody Parkey (kicker) as well as Chris Davis (punt returns) and Tre Mason (kick-returns). On paper this might not appear to be a major priority, but when you consider that half of Auburn's 14 games during the 2013 season were decided by eight points or less, it could become critical.
Here are Auburn's 2013 national rankings in special teams:
Punt Return Offense……....No. 23
Punt Return Defense……....No. 52
Net Punting……………… ..No. 9
Kick Return Offense……… No. 27
Kick Return Defense ………No. 123
Kickoff Touchback Pct.……No. 3
Field Goal Pct……………....No. 67
Of all the special teams plays during the course of a game, 70 percent take place during kickoffs and punts. Excluding Auburn's meager kick return average allowed this past season, the Tigers had an average national ranking of 22.8 in kickoffs and punts. It was one of the primary reasons why Auburn compiled a 5-1 record in games decided by seven points or less.
With Malzahn on staff the Tigers have compiled an impressive 16-4 record in close games. The hidden success of special teams comes by way of field position. During the 2013 season 72.3 percent of opponents' possessions began at least 75 yards away from the Auburn end zone. This was a significant improvement from the 55.8 percent during the 2012 season. Forcing the opponent to compete on a long field normally translates to fewer scoring opportunities.
Though Auburn was No. 123 nationally in yards allowed per kick return, Parkey made up for the deficiency by his No. 3 national ranking in touchback percentage. Parkey was able to hammer the majority of his kickoffs deep into the end zone preventing the opponent from returning the kickoffs.
Less than 30 percent of Parkey's kickoffs were returned during the 2013 season. The senior place-kicker credited his deep kicks to a combination of leg strength and technique. "I don't have the strongest leg, but I have good technique," Parkey said. "Everything combined helps me kick it out of the end zone. A lot of guys probably have stronger legs than me, but aren't capable of doing that."
Steven Clark was a three-year starter for the Tigers.
Clark was No. 9 nationally in net punting this past season with a knack for dropping the football inside the opponent's 20-yard line. Of Auburn's 56 punts during the 2013 season only five were returned. This more than made up for Auburn's No. 52 ranking in yardage allowed in punt returns.
Clark notes that Fountain works hard in his assignment as special teams coach. "Coach Fountain does a really good job making sure Cody and I are on the same page with him as far as scheming our opponents and making sure we have a good game plan each and every week," Clark said. "He does a really good job making sure all of our special teams are on the same page and really prepared."
Special teams accounted for four Auburn touchdowns during the 2013 season with one playing a critical role in the outcome of the regular season opener vs. Washington State and another in the regular season finale vs. Alabama. The other two came against Tennessee, turning a close game into a runaway victory for the Tigers.
The return of a missed field goal for a touchdown against Alabama kept Auburn's conference and national championship run alive. "Incredible experience to be from this state and be a part of what happened that day," Fountain said. "After the timeout we made the swap and put our punt returner in and the rest is history. Chris (Davis) made an unbelievable run with some darn good blocking."
The Tigers must replace Davis, who was No. 3 nationally in punt returns while averaging 18.7 yards.
Mason ranked No. 21 nationally in kickoff return average. Corey Grant does return in 2014 and he had a better kick return average than Mason.
In recent years Auburn teams have had great success in kickoff returns and have been inconsistent returning punts so replacing Davis will be a major challenge for coaches Fountain and Tim Horton. However, Auburn has plenty of skill players to select from in order to field their next return units.
Auburn's average national ranking in punt returns the past nine seasons is No. 68, shooting up from No. 58 in 2012 to No. 22 during 2013. Quan Bray, Marcus Davis and Trovon Reed combined for an average of 3.9 yards per return on 15 attempts during 2013. All three should get a look for 2014 with Bray and Reed having the most experience in returning punts. Finding that hidden gem to field punts could pay major dividends for a team that was No. 49 in combined kick and punt return averages and No. 44 in total yardage gained per game from returns.
Though special teams play never receives the same fanfare as offense and defense, it remains an indispensable part of the game. The kickers, punters and return personnel require talent, athleticism and technique.
When you consider the fact four out of every 10 league games in the Southeastern Conference were decided by seven or fewer points this past season many coaches around the conference will place a high priority on special teams. Expect Malzahn and his coaching staff to be in the group that emphasizes this phase of the game as they look to build a competitive and complete team for the 2014 season.

The Fierce Five Party with Jordin Sparks in N.Y.C.

There's no slowing down for the Fierce Five!
Team USA's group of Olympic gold medalist gymnasts – Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross, McKayla Maroney, Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber – began making their way through New York City, where they partied with Jordin Sparks, but not before attending a lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building.
Following Tuesday's taping of The Today Show, the ladies, with moms in tow, took a bunch of photos at the lighting ceremony and seemed to be having a great time, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
"Everyone was asking McKayla about her little frown look that got all the online attention," the source says. "She kept getting asked to do it for people."
Following their busy morning, the girls, sans Douglas, got a chance to relax with new pal Sparks, whom they met on the set of Today.
The ladies joined the Sparkle star and her costars at the official afterparty for the film, presented by Alizé Coco, at the Yard at the Soho Grand Hotel.
"The girls were the hit of the party," a different source says. "Everyone wanted a picture of them!"

Portfolio Selection with Higher Moments

We propose a method for optimal portfolio selection using a Bayesian decision theoretic framework that addresses two major shortcomings of the Markowitz approach: the ability to handle higher moments and estimation error. We employ the skew normal distribution which has many attractive features for modeling multivariate returns. Our results suggest that it is important to incorporate higher order moments in portfolio selection. Further, our comparison to other methods where parameter uncertainty is either ignored or accommodated in an ad hoc way, shows that our approach leads to higher expected utility than the resampling methods that are common in the practice of finance.
