Michael and Dee Gillespie of Gillespie Insurance Group recognized for outstanding service
Fall City residents Michael and Dee Gillespie, owners of Gillespie Insurance Group in Issaquah, were recently honored by Farmers Insurance Company for their achievement to Premier Agency status. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the husband-wife team has earned the designation.
The distinction is based on an agent's sales volume for auto, home and life products; high client retention; and outstanding overall customer service. Gillespie Insurance Group is among an elite group to achieve this status. They were selected from over 15,000 Farmers agents and district managers operating in 29 states.
"Michael and Dee have a proven track record of outstanding customer service," explained Steve Feely, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Farmers Insurance. "They join fellow agents as a member of this distinguished group."
Gillespie Insurance Group is located at 670 NW Gilman Blvd., Suite B-2, in Issaquah.
The Gillespies have been in the insurance business for 13 years.
Both agents have been consistently recognized for their outstanding service as Farmers Insurance agents. They are recipients of the Fast Start and Blue Vase Awards for early accomplishment with Farmers Insurance.
Their agency was inducted into the Farmers Insurance Topper's Achievement Club as one of the top agencies for overall professional service and production.
In addition, Michael attained the Life Round Table Award and the Blue Max Award in life insurance training and sales. Dee was honored with the Commercial Producer Award for business insurance training and sales. Michael is in the process of getting his securities licensing.
They are both natives of the Seattle area. Michael is a 1979 graduate of Renton High School and attended Green River College, where he played baseball. He is a past volunteer for DECA and currently serves as a Little League coach in Fall City.
Dee is a 1982 graduate of Sammamish High School and attended the University of Washington. She is a founding member of the Bellevue Business Exchange and a past board member of Mothers Against Drunk Driving of King County (MADD).
The Gillespies live in the Lake Alice area of Fall City with their three sons.

EBS Says Goodbye to Email Headaches with Rackspace
CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS: Employee insurance and benefit services
CHALLENGES: Spending too much time and money maintaining in-house email
RACKSPACE SOLUTION: Rackspace Email with BCC Archiving service
BUSINESS OUTCOME: Eliminated daily email maintenance tasks and dramatic reduction in spam
Email Takes Up Too Much Time
Five years ago, Arthur ("Bo") Villemain took the helm of the family business his father founded almost 25 years prior. Soon thereafter, Bo realized he was spending too much time and money dealing with problems involving their internal email system and not enough time providing the best possible service to their clients across the country and growing the business.
He states, "It was taking an inordinate amount of time for something that seems relatively simple – providing email for my employees. The constant upkeep of spam filters and virus filters, the addition and deletion of email accounts, as well as, the upkeep of the hardware to do all of that was taking way too much time."
Problem Solved in One Day
When Bo experienced a particularly frustrating day, he knew he needed to outsource his email system. He searched online for email service and found Rackspace instantly. Bo chose Rackspace Email with BCC Archiving service.
He gets free mobile sync tools, monthly backups of email data, and large 10GB mailboxes for just $2 per month. With Rackspace's low pricing and promise of unconditional support, the decision to switch to Rackspace and the move to the new system were made easily and swiftly in one day. And he hasn't looked back.
Rackspace Reduces Email Complexity and Saves Time
After deciding to go with Rackspace, Bo noticed improvements immediately. There were no viruses arriving through email anymore and spam was significantly reduced. He reports spending almost no time dealing with email issues. Where he used to spend time every day handling email problems, now it's "maybe once a month" and is purely administrative according to Bo.
Referring to Rackspace's Fanatical Support® team, the CEO states that the customer service is excellent. He adds, "On the rare occasion I have a problem with email, I get a response from Rackspace's Fanatical Support team within an hour and the problem is solved in a business day."
As for pricing, Bo describes it as insignificant. "It's not even a bill I notice. For the price, it just doesn't make any sense not to outsource my email hosting to Rackspace," Bo explains.
Speaking of the company's three years of experience with the Rackspace service, Bo remarks, "It's been simple. It just works."

Jaycee Dugard may have to testify in open court against the couple accused of holding her hostage for 18 years, a prosecutor said Monday after a bail hearing.
El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister ordered $30 million bail and a psychiatric evaluation for Phillip Garrido, 58, saying he poses a danger to the public and is a flight risk.
Garrido's wife and alleged accomplice Nancy Garrido, 54, faces most of the same 29 felony charges. She allegedly grabbed Jaycee when she was 11 years old, as she walked the two blocks from her family's South Lake Tahoe home to her school bus.
After the hearing, El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson was asked if Dugard would have to testify in the couple's trial. "Yes, I would expect that to be the case," he said, though added that "it's a pretty unusual case" and those plans could change.
During the nearly two decades after her abduction, Phillip Garrido allegedly raped Jaycee, kept her captive in his invalid mother's Antioch, Calif., home, and had two daughters with her: Starlit, 15, and Angel, 11.
Pierson said he was worried that the media's intense interest in the young woman and her family would add to their trauma. "They have a lot to deal with right now and should be given their privacy," Pierson told reporters.
In response to offers of assistance, two trust funds have been set up at a financial services company where Jaycee's grandmother worked.
Jaycee's family tells PEOPLE that it hopes her case brings hope and attention to cases of children who are still missing.

It would be interesting to see how many people have actually stuck with their New Years Resolution for more than a month. For me, I made a decision that I would stick with my New Years Resolution of eating healthy and getting proper exercise for the rest of my life. And now it's almost June and I've lost 15 pounds and have signed up for a marathon.
The key with New Years Resolution is to make it a life decision, rather than just something you do because its trendy.
Thanks for the helpful article… there were lots of good tips in there. I would also suggest using myfintesspal. It's an app you can use on your phone to keep track of calories which has been pivotal for me on my weight loss journey.

Nonprofits win nerds, nerds win toys
By Mark Malmberg
Winning the Web Challenge is no less glorious than summiting Mount Everest to earn a Super Bowl championship in thin air before safely descending on a waterslide while high-fiving everyone in your path. But winning fabulous prizes is nice, too. Volunteers spend raffle tickets in pursuit of these treasures:
New New iPad: Were you one of those suckers who bought the "New" iPad a scant seven months ago? Sooth your anger at Apple by winning this NEWER New iPad and go back to your rightful spot of having the shiniest, newest toy available.
Lego Death Star: Bored on the weekends with nothing to do? This 3,800 piece LEGO Death Star may be for you. At 16" tall and 16" wide, it's an imposing addition to any LEGO collection. Get yours now before the Death Star is permanently "upgraded" to include mouse ears.
Fitbit + Sleep Tracker Thingee + Scale + Belt: While programming is hard work, it unfortunately doesn't come with the same physical fitness benefits that a career in logging does. Win this prize package and you'll have more data on your health than you can shake an empty Pringles can at. It tracks steps, stairs climbed, distance, calories burned and measures how long and well you sleep. The Nathan Shadow Pak (it's NOT a fanny pack, ok!?) discreetly carries your personal items while you run.
Minecraft package: Not sure how to properly express to your special someone that you have an unhealthy obsession for Minecraft? Winning this prize pack should do the trick. If assembling your brand new Minecraft LEGO set while wearing the Creeper cardboard mask doesn't do it, perhaps the magnets, pins and note cube will. If all else fails, perform a one-person Minecraft reenactment around the house with your foam Minecraft pickaxe and sword as props. They'll surely get the message then.
Etsy Giftcard - $250: For when you can't justifying buying a walnut baguette cutting board, a vintage brass camel figurine and a beaded crochet bracelet on your own dime.
Nest: Thermostats. BORING, right? Not so. This beauty will make your home look like it's out of the Jetsons as it learns your schedule. Trust us, this little guy isn't sentient, so there's no danger of it taking control of your home appliances – what it will do is help you take control of your monthly utility bills by changing temperatures based on when you're home and away. Coming home early? Use the mobile app to connect to your thermostat. No SkyNet here!
Apple Thunderbolt Display: For work or for play, everyone can use a bigger monitor. This 27-inch model by Apple also manages to pack in some extra whiz-bang features like LED backlighting, a FaceTime HD camera, 3 USB 2.0 ports and more.
Intuos5 Touch Medium: Sometimes a mouse and MS Paint just won't do. When that situation arises you'll be happy to have this powerful multi-touch surface tablet. With 48.8 square inches of working area, this is perfect for designers and illustrators alike.
Canon Rebel T4: If it's good enough for a paid celebrity endorsement from Andre Agassi, then it should be good enough for you. Fault!
Wii U Deluxe Set (not pictured): Do you find today's consoles too boring for your tastes? Wish that you had more screens to look at? Never fear, for the Wii U is (nearly) here. As soon as your copy arrives at Nerdery HQ, we'll send it off to you to enjoy this all new gaming experience. And then maybe you can explain it to us... we're not entirely sure how it works.

Posted on 07/21/2014 1:32:19 PM PDT by Tailgunner JoeEdited on 07/21/2014 2:08:11 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
The one emotion most of us who study Russia never associate with the men of the Kremlin is panic. Theyre not the type. Theyre more like mobsters, prone to say we have a problem rather than to freak out. They think everything has a solution, although sometimes that solution might mean someone has to take nine grams of lead behind the ear. They do not raise their voicesmy experience is that most Russian tough-guys are mumblers, not yellersand they get things done, even if the final outcome might lack a certain, say, elegance.
Thats why its unusual to see the government of Vladimir Putin, and maybe even Putin himself, panicking over the downing of Malaysian Airline Flight 17. For the first time in a long time, maybe even since Putins first election to power, the Russian regime has a problem it cannot solve, one that will cost the Kremlin in both money and reputation.
First, lets review whats happened, and use the real-world version of events, rather than the paranoid, flaky stuff coming out of less responsible news outlets (like, say, all of the ones in Russia).
Malaysian Air Flight 17 was crossing the Ukraine-Russia border when it was blown out of the sky. We have a high degree of certainty (and probably more inside the governments of the United States and NATO) that the plane was downed with a BUK anti-air missile system. In fact, its starting to look like there was a BUK battery in the area when the airplane was destroyed.
We have a mountain of evidence that the Russians were up to their necks in this. The BUK is a Russian system, found in both Ukraine and Russia, but it looks like the Russians brought some over the border, along with Russian military intelligence guysthe men actually running this partition Ukraine operationand they taught some of the locals, including transplanted mercenary separatists, how to use them. The thing is, the BUK is really too complicated to use without adult supervision, and thats especially true of a battery.
And now we get to the panic. Evidence is mounting not only that the BUK that killed MH17 came from Russia, but that the firing on the airliner was either supervised or ordered, or even operated, by Russian personnel.
If this is the case, the lone rebel with an itchy trigger finger theory goes out the window, and the Russia is running a reckless and undeclared air war inside Ukraine theory comes into sharp focus. Suddenly, an act of terrorism becomes an act of interstate war, directed with subterfuge and deniability (what my colleague John Schindler has dubbed Special War) with the goal of dismembering the Ukrainian state.
Putin, Im sure, was briefed ahead of time and told that such an accident could never happen.
No, Mr. President, we will sweep any Ukrainian military jets from the sky. Yes, Mr. President, we will control their airspace, and paralyze them, until they accept partition, as we did with Crimea. No, Mr. President, we are professionals and there is no chance of error or detection. We have trained to fight Americans, this will be a piece of cake.
In other words, a slam-dunk. (Assuming the Russians are inclined to basketball metaphors. Its not really their sport.) And then a few weeks later, some somber-looking, sorry bastard walks in and says: Sir, we have a problem. The briefing begins, and the bad news rolls.
It was our stuff. Our missile. Our goons. Commanded by our officers. Yes, weve been caught on camera. Yes, there was some clumsiness on social media. No, we have not allowed anyone near the crash site, but we cant hold it off forever. The men involved are in hiding. Except Strelkov, who has said the plane was full of dead bodies. (He freelanced that one, sir.)
How far does this go, Mr. President? Well, sirand here the aide might shuffle some papers uncomfortably to avoid noting that the orders came from the very topwe can deny it all, but sooner or later the trail leads back through military intelligence to special channels in the military, to special channels here in the Presidents office, to well, you know
At this point, Putin and his advisers have to know the game is up, and thus they have resorted to the only time they remember when they felt really competent and in control of events: the Soviet days. And the stupid, dangerous ideas begin to tumble out, the product of panic rather than policy:
Put out the story that Ukraine was responsible. Suggest the plane was off course and thus imply it was doing something nefarious. (Didnt we work that angle in the 1983 crash?) Pledge our cooperation, but tell those idiots in Donetsk we want the black boxes in Moscow immediately. Dont talk to the Western press. Send Churkin to take his obligatory ass-whipping from Sam Power
But most importantly, keep doubling down on everything.
Make sure the crash site belongs to us and no one else. Obfuscate as much as possible about who was doing what, and where. Suggest the Ukraine military planned this all along. See if you can dig up old stories about that Iranian plane the Americans hit, what was it? Iran 655? Yeah, work that for a while.
None of this will go anywhere. The Russians are busted. To use an American folk saying, they are screwed, chewed, and barbecued. They know it. Someones got to go down for this, and there are obvious candidates. The question, as in any Mafia where somethings gone bad, is who rats out whom first. Because sooner or later, all will be known.
Panic in Moscow is hard to spot, but even from 6000 miles away, its easy to smell, and the metallic stink of fear is rising off the palace offices of the Russian executive as if from the gurneys in a cancer ward on the morning of an operation.
The only question, really, is how far Putin wants to go toward a trade war, economic collapse, further status as a pariah, maybe even open war, only in order to save face. The conventional wisdom is that he has to cut the insurgency loose.
Maybe. But if he doesnt want to, he may settle for leaving a grinding conflict in place for now, and will claim that any real investigation and closure is impossible. He can then place his hopes in the Wests short attention span, and wait until all this blows over.
That would all work if it were 1975. But its not. I suspect the investigation and the tick-tock of the moments before the BUK fire are already clear and widely distributed enough that we have the complete case against the separatists with a bill of particulars that stretches right to the rug in front of Putins desk.
He knows it, and he knows that we know it. And until he finds a way to square this circle, panicand more deathwill be the order of the day. I wish I had good advice for him to extricate himself. But there isnt any, and it would not be mine to give even if there were.
Worse than a crime - a blunder.
No offense, Mr. Nichols, but I have not noticed any signs that the Russians are panicking.
That's precisely true. We haven't noticed.
They are trying to edit Wikipedia to give the SU-25 the capability to do what they claim one from Ukraine did.
In the PR of the Russian government, America and West Europe were responsible for screwing their economy when Yeltsin took Keynesian economic advice. Many Russians don't see us as friends, and wouldn't be so offended if Americans are outraged at them.
And he certainly doesn't care what obama and the American kneepad media says about him or Russia. Vlad lost his respect for obama long ago, if it ever even existed.
Nope, give it a few more days and it'll be business as usual.
There's blowback coming for Russia.
Hasn't happened yet, but it's coming.
"If I'm gonna get busted, it is *not* gonna be by a guy like *that*."
Vlad never respected 0bama. He'd seen the KGB/FSB dossier.
And he's not panicking now.
Um, because they forgot they can only control the news flow inside Russia, and the world knows that they murdered 298 people?
Fair enough, but it only applies if they give a damn what "the world knows".
I don't see them panicking. They didn't panic over flight 007 which actually had a slim chance of starting a war with America, they won't panic over this. By the end of the week it'll just be another installment in Malaysia Air's bad year.
I don't think they are panicked. The Soviets did the same thing during a time when America had a REAL LEADER. They feared and respected Reagan. And eventually, the Soviet Union fell.
Today, we have BO. Putin is not worried.
I think, frankly, Putin is not happy with his generals or his supporters in Ukraine. Heads will roll in his military, I am sure.
But this tragedy was not an intentional act—and the West has lost moral authority, so I sadly think nothing America does will bring the perps who shot this plane out of the sky to justice.
He could throw some separatists under the bus but that would involve admitting that something bad happened that could realistically be tied back to him. So, I'm not sure he's going to do that.
Think about what Obama would do in this situation. 1. Make up some lies, 2. hide the real information, 3. blame Bush, and .4 wait till the media finds a new shiny object. So Putin has done steps 1-3 (substitute blame the US for blame Bush) maybe he'll just stand pat and wait for the anti-Semitic western media to forget him and focus back on how horrible Israel is.
Well, they can't really control the news flow inside of Russia any more. We have a large number of Russians out here, and they tend to talk to people back home.
Russia is hoping that its oil wealth and armsdealing prowess will give it an automatic pass every time.
But they are not the only game in town, and if certain customers grow tired of their hamhandedness, they stand to lose.
" if certain customers grow tired of their hamhandedness, they stand to lose. "
The Europeans have no other place to go for energy. The US has proven to be such a horribly inconsistent ally that places like Iraq are looking for a better arms dealer. Every day they are closer to a black sea pipeline and a pipeline to China. Maybe they don't need to care what the Western media thinks. It will be interesting to see what his next move is, assuming the media hasn't found a new shiny object by then.
The panic by the Soviet Air Defense Command is what led to the downing of KAL007 to begin with. Even Izvestia acknowledged this after a lengthy investigation in 1992.
They are "panicking" in the sense that it took them days (if they have yet) to land on a media message. The stuff coming over Russian state-owned airways was laughable. But I agree that their "panic" has no bearing over the long run. Russians will do what Russians do. They don't care.
Oooooh. They'll pay for this - just like they did for KAL 007.
Oh, wait. Nothing much happened there, either. And that was REAGAN.
Obama will give Putin a way out. Obama has bumbled this one.
Putin will get away with shooting down jetliners.
Nobody will do anything of substance.
Europe needs the gas.
0bama is an idiot.
Putin isn't in a state of panic. No reason to be, the world is leaderless. He'll just coast along...
Yeah, I don't think the Rooskies are panicking. I think Putin knows POTUS is a spineless weenie who will let him get away with whatever he wants. He's flipping the bird to the world just like 0's IRS is to congress.
6 years later the Soviet Union disintegrated.
I think the Russians only move is to blame it on the local separatists, find some unsavory mid-level commander to hang the rap on and shoot him in front of the cameras.
Putin can be patient when he needs to be. If he has to put off his encroaching annexation of the Ukraine until the heat dies down he can, because he knows it will. Even a horrible crime like this will only stay in the public consciousness until something else washes it away.
Nobody has the gonads to do anything that would seriously endanger the status quo — certainly not Obama.
Not necessarily true.
Every day they are closer to a black sea pipeline and a pipeline to China.
The Black Sea pipeline is a pipe dream. They are barely closer today than they were 10 years ago.
We'll see how the China pipeline goes.
In light of the recent Malaysia Airlines tragedies (one missing, one brought down by the Russians) I completed a project I began some time ago to remind us of an earlier Russian involved murder of hundreds of innocents. Will someone please remind obozo that it's still a jungle out there!
(It's a short 8 minutes)
Putin is popular within Russia and relatively unaccountable internationally. This situation inconveniences his aspirations to control a large economic region, because media and internet coverage forces western politicians to posture and squawk for a week. It might cause him to slightly delay the takeover of eastern Ukraine by his minions, and might cause a blip in oil and gas sales. Putin is willing to do horrible things to get is way, and knows we are not. Panic? Nyet.
The missile in question is, I believe, a radar seeker. Surely we have satellite surveillance with the capability to collect that signal and the associated geolocation data.
I'm guessing. But I bet I'm right.
And certainly we know the electronic signature of that weapon system and have the ability to tie that signature to the Russians.
In all likelihood we have satellite imagery of the launch and the detonation also with geolocation data.
What was it that Chick Hearn used to say when the Lakers had the game wrapped up?
They're panicking everywhere especially here on FR --
A modest proposal-since the US guaranteed Ukrainian sovereignty if they have up their nukes and Obama wants to get rid of some of our nukes and we are now unwilling to meet our commitments to Ukrainian sovereignty, why don't we donate 200 nukes to Ukraine and tell them they are on their own? This leaves Ukraine with about the amount of nukes they had prior to Clinton's meddling, the Russians have what they want with an American reduction of nukes, Obama gets what he wants, and I get to enjoy some popcorn. Russia couldn't possibly object to our doing so, could it?
Wikipedia is like public toilet - you never know who was there before you :-)
If someone pooped on the floor and other person cleans up - it is not sign of panic, more a sign of civic responsibility.
Wikipedia is kind of tug of war, as can be seen by so many locked entries.
There was a U.S. spy satellite flying over the area at the very time MH17 crashed. Ruskies asked Washington to release data. Don't hold your breath it will happen.
So far, Americans shot down two airliners (Iran Air 655 and TWA 800), Ruskies shot one (KAL007) and Ukrainians one (sibir air 1812). It took Ukrainians two months to admit, and it was a peace time. It took years to understand what happened with KAL007 It will take years to learn of TWA800.
So, who shot MH17 down? Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets. Your FR credibility is at stake.
Neither have I, why should they when the leader of the pack after Putin is Obama, who only p*sses people off.
Heck they can't put any blame on Ukraine's Gov....they have no money to 'pay up' when the families of the lost get their attorneys in line, and you can be assured they will........ it would mean Poroshenko's got to pull back from his brutal bombing of his own people...and that's not going to happen any time soon until he clears all the Russian population out of the East......The NovaRussia fighters have no money.....so of course that would leave only Russia.... Fancy that! (Follow the money includes those earmarked to get it as well).
Who really is the desperate one in this mess?......seems to me Obama's attempts to crash Europe's 'partying with Putin' sanction hits failed..., Putin's kept on ticking with a South American swing under Obama's nose.... Not to mention cuddling up in bed with China, even sending Michelle there to hold his place while he tangled with his feet in his so called Pivot to Asia......this of course recognizing Putin was whining and dining them all long before Obama got there for his turn around the dance floor.
His freshly installed puppet Poroshenko can't deliver the goods to EU without the Eastern Ukraine goodies, and they've been hijacked by a determined people unwilling to go along to get along with Obama's pal..... Not to forget the territorial Oligarchs with their militia's who have the funds to keep the East under their control regardless of any collateral damage...... Obama still batting zero.
Meanwhile every player in this "affair" whines and cries out to Russia's Putin in one form or another..."Help us"..."Stop protecting your border"..."Send Weapons"..."Ukraine's not feeding us"..."Cease fire"..."open the borders" .."Close the Borders"..."Get the Nazi's"....'You'll pay for taking what's mine"...."Don't cross the red-line"...."It's up to you to stop the war"...."Here we'll give you a cookie if you co-operate"..."do this, don't do that"....etc.etc.
Meanwhile KIEV(under Obama's direction) continues to send barrages of missiles into the East, destroying business, industry and private homes, along with the infrastructure so that when all is said and done the revenues Kiev gets from the IMF will go straight to the outside International Corporate leeches waiting in the wings to rebuild the area. Everybody's waiting in line for the big payday.......but it's not getting there quick enough...the fighting continues...people keep crying and messing up the streets with more bodies....and the sanctions still aren't working.
So now we suddenly have the worst case scenario...a Commercial Airlines 'disappears' off radar....(should raise important and serious questions yesterday today and torrow..why).. ..full of people who had nothing at all to do with that entire regions affairs.....crashes within a known and active war zone....all die. ..and the entire world is now focused on Ukraine.
Obama's got the satellite images and he's not coughing them up let alone shared them with the public he has them....yet we see the Anti-Kiev fighters handing the airline's black box's over to the International Investigators believing these will exonerate them from fault or at least give the truth....We've got Russia's 'Official' statements concerning the flight path and planes in the area, and their assessment sent to the US and all nation leaders....wanting answers......
But the big question....why hasn't Obama handed his stuff over, which we are familiar with him not doing?...and why isn't our news reporting on this?
While this is all going on Obama puts his media machine in full throttle to make certain nobody but Russia is blamed for anything happening.....that's the word demanded across the airwaves..... leveraging (blackmailing) the nations who have their hands in US pockets to do likewise.
There's not a person just sick at heart for the loss of these innocent people......but the outrageous roar "of blame is deafening and far exceeds that of the sorrow and crosses the 'literal' red-line of every one who lost their life that day.
We don't know who fired, nor where it came from, nor do we know which side armed who with what until the entire investigation is completed. We may truly never know...but the facts and evidence are clear on one main issue....hundreds died that day and they continue to die daily throughout Eastern Ukraine...and those citizens are equally as significant as the ones lost in the airlines crash.
..."Putin is not happy with his generals or his supporters in Ukraine"....
I tend to agree if indeed he has any control there much to speak of. There's conflicts within conflicts throughout the East. Too many bosses and nobody at all in control. Heck even the Kiev army can't control their own people.....they all keep going AWOL, and that in units!
The Anti-Kiev fighters aren't fighting, or sending missiles into Kiev...so it does beg if Kiev's army won't fight and the Anti-Kiev fighters aren't fighting Kiev...who up there is keeping the war going.....and between who?
Of course Kiev Gov claims they are fighting terrorists there....which is possible as the Oligarchs have there militia's to retain their territory control and hopes they will gain from the Ukraine Parliment members, still as corrupt as before, once the dust settles, if it settles. My gosh what an operation they had going..and this for decades. They want their gravy train back and the influences they built their wealth on.
I don't know how the Investigation will go...but it will likely drag on for more time then most would imagine.....it'll be used as a stall until the Ukraine crisis ends at least, I imagine.
Maybe nothing happened. Or maybe Soviet Union was brought down in less than 10 years happened. They were brought down through economy and so can Putin's Russia.
o far, Americans shot down two airliners (Iran Air 655 and TWA 800),...
Why do you post garbage like this here?
It makes FR look like a bunch of kooks screaming about the smoking man on the grassy knoll and area51 aliens firing missiles into the pentagon and blowing up the trade center towers...
TWA crashed. Period.
I thought it exploded due to tank vapor.
We can perhaps learn something from the previous cases of sudden flight arrest syndrome when military objectives and civilian airlines collide in the exact time and space grid.
Red line connecting events is human error, disinformation and/or political interference.
1. JAT Flight 364. In January 1972, DC-9 entered soon to be closed Czechoslovakian airspace due to military excercise. Pilot hoped to get out before ban is in effect. He was late and as a result, his plane was mistaken for a radar blip and shot down.
Aftermath: incident was hushed up on the highest level between Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia blamed Croatian Nazis for planting the bomb aboard.
Characteristics: Human error (pilot's, SAM operators'), government cover up. Propaganda exploitation of the event.
2. KAL 007. The flight was held at Anchorage, to sync it's arrival time to Soviet airspace with the satellite flying overhead. When KAL007 entered CLOSED Soviet airspace over secret naval base where the secret testing was ongoing, KAL 007 flew with no signal lights and did not respond to the interceptor's commands. Pilot and ground control thought it was an American spy plane and shot it down.
Incident was recorded by the Japanese listening post at Hokkaido.
Aftermath: U.S. government tampered with the tape in order to implicate USSR. Nine minute tape was shortened to four. The truth came out later.
Characteristics: Deliberate action by KAL pilot, human error by Soviet pilot. Political interference, propaganda exploitation of the event.
3. Iran Air 655. Iranian airliner used F14 squawks and was shot down by Vincennes.
It was used for propaganda purposes by Iran. U.S. never admitted guilt but paid $60M damages.
Characteristics: human error (U.S.), deliberate intent (Iran), propaganda exploitation (Iran).
4. Sibir Air 1812 - shot down during military exercise in Ukraine on a flight path that was not closed for civilian traffic. Ukraine refused to admit firing SAM for several months.
Characteristics: human error. Government cover up. No propaganda exploitation.
So far, MH17 has the elements of KAL 007 (pilot veering off 10 miles from the flight path, spy satellite flying overhead, propaganda exploitation).
If it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck probably it's a duck.

The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products.

Making the cards
Each Kipepeo card is completely made by hand in a multi-stage process, mostly using waste materials. The card makers work in teams, each undertaking a different aspect of the process.
Cards start as shredded office paper. This is pounded into a pulp and then weighed so that the right quantity is used for each sheet of paper. Wooden frames are used to collect the pulp.
Then, using a variety of techniques, the newly made paper is transferred to canvas on which it dries. Once dry the paper is carefully peeled off, folded and trimmed ready for a design to be added. This activity takes place outside, so that paper can be spread on the ground.
The designs vary but are carefully mounted on an embossed area within the card. Motifs include beadwork, the use of recycled metal, fabric, wire and wood, mostly using traditional Kenyan craft techniques and designs.
A smooth paper insert is carefully sewn in to finish off the production of a beautiful card. Each card includes a label on the back signed by the maker.
As a result of this process, all Kipepeo cards are completely unique: no two are ever the same.

Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi
Average of 11 scores (from 18 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi
Source: Pricegrabber
Strengths: Specs look good on paper; Weaknesses: Device Driver Flaws, Hand Warmer, and Terrible Support; Summary: There is apparently a defect in the drivers for Windows XP that come with this laptop that makes the F10 and F11 keys not work. The keys work fine in BIOS mode and even in Windows if you use the Shift or Ctrl keys also. Very strange but a big problem for a .NET nerd like me because Visual Studio uses those keys extensively.

"Stylish," "full-featured," and "cutting-edge technology" are just a few of the phrases that come to mind when looking over the Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi. Thanks to a carbon-fiber chassis, an awesome webcam, new ATI graphics, and dual-core processing from Intel—all in a system that weighs less than 7 pounds—it well deserves our Editors' Choice award. The cover of the TravelMate 8204WLMi is made of strong and cool-looking carbon fiber, which we loved on the Acer Ferrari 4000 and love just as much on this system. Opening the lid reveals a 15.4-inch widescreen.

Acer has given the veteran TravelMate chassis a spruce up for its first dual-core notebook. The lid has a carbon-fibre finish to it, and the curved keyboard and gunmetal grey colouring lend it a distinctive look. Inside, the T2500 Core Duo is clocked at 2GHz and aided by a generous 2GB of DDR2 RAM, which makes the TravelMate the quickest notebook we've ever seen: it scored a remarkable 1.11 in our application benchmarks. That's more powerful than our current A-Listed power notebook, the SavRow Blade 75. Amazingly, it's also 11 per cent quicker than a top-of-the-range Intel PC based on the 3.2GHz Pentium D840. A good-looking, amazingly fast laptop. But it's also expensive, heavy and doesn't offer outstanding battery life.

If I take everything into consideration, I am not happy with this notebook. It has too many faults for a $2500 price tag. I wish I could return it for a refund so I could buy my Sager back, but unfortunately it's not possible. I will keep it for a while and see if I learn to like it's good points, otherwise I will sell it on eBay with a $500 loss.... I would only recommend this notebook if you are looking for a light, business-like notebook that will support your games. If gaming is your main concern, go for the Sager 5720; if you want something with a dual core notebook in a fairly light package, avoid the 8204 and get something cheaper.

The Acer Travelmate 8200 is a high-end business laptop from Acer, designed with durability and performance in mind with a reasonably light-weight chassis. It has done fairly well in this respect, with Acer using Intel's new Core Duo processor coupled and an ATi Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card, all packed into a laptop weighing in at less than 6 pounds. I would recommend this laptop to anyone demanding very high performance and a high quality build at a reasonable price.

Over the past couple of years Acer has made quite a name for itself in the notebook market, producing high spec machines at amazing price points. The company has also built a reputation for being first out of the gate with the latest notebook technology and that's never been more true than right now. The TravelMate 8204WLMi is the first notebook I've seen based on Intel's new dual core mobile processor, Yonah. For me dual core processors mark the most important leap in notebook technology since the colour screen, but that's just my opinion. Of course if you managed to get yourself a dual-core desktop chip during 2005 you'll have a good idea of where I'm coming from.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

Imagine living in a world where your every thought was consumed with obtaining sex. Imagine, for example, that your drive to have sex with another was so strong that it prevented you from carrying out daily activities, such as going to work, attending to your household chores, paying your bills or attending to other important obligations. In fact, imagine that this compulsion to have sex was so overpowering that it caused you to forsake your family, relationships and perhaps, even your own personal safety.
Does this strike a chord of familiarity with you or someone you know? If so, you are not alone.
The typical behaviors that have just been described are common signs of a person suffering from what is known as sexual addiction. To be sure, it is a problem that is often misunderstood and widely undetected. So how do you really know if you or someone you love may be suffering from this affliction? Consider the following behaviors as possible "red flags". What follows are some of the more common characteristics of a sex addict, however they are not intended to serve as a complete behavioral list.
Sexual addiction is indeed serious. It affects countless numbers of people around the world and destroys lives in the process. Sexual addiction is a family disease, meaning that it affects not only the addicted individual but also the entire family unit. It is also a disease that is progressive in nature, meaning that it does not get better on its own, nor does it go away over time. Some people benefit from counseling as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment.
It is important to state that just because you enjoy having sex does not mean that you are sexually addicted. In fact sex is a healthy activity. However, the problem comes into play when your need for sex becomes such that it turns into a dependency. If this has become a concern for you or someone you care about, consider reading more information on the topic. An excellent online source is Sex and Love Anonymous (SLA) at http://www.slaafws.org. There are also a variety of books on the subject, including Out of the Shadows by Patrick Carnes and of course, Confusing Love with Obsession. By reaching out for help, you are really reaching in.

Hi Everyone
It's been a long time since I've been on 1UP. It's good to be back.
So introductions, I am an MMORPG, Single Player RPG, and RTS gamer. I will be blogging about whatever I feel like that is gaming related. I don't post very often but whenever something comes to mind I try to make a post about it.
Enjoy my posts and feel free to message me about any great games that you have played recently. I love hearing about the fantastic games that often slip under the radar.
If you have any questions about any games that I am currently playing, feel free to message me.
If you find that I have similar tastes in gaming to yours, feel free to friend me.
Enjoy my posts and game on.
What I'm Playing:
Eve Online: I have been playing Eve Online for 4 years now. I have been a part of the Alliance conflicts (Northern Coalition to be precise), I used to do a lot of piracy as well as anti-piracy work depending on what corp I was in, and I've even done a lot of carebearing in high sec so if you have any questions about this great game, feel free to message me.
World of Warcraft: I play WoW very casually and not very consistantly. It has always been my back pocket game that I go to when I'm bored.
Starcraft II Wings of Liberty: I'm a silver league random player, I don't cheese and am currently trying to get better with all 3 races inder the opinion that if I can play all 3 races well, then I will be able to play against all 3 races well. I'll post my SC2 info here eventually (too lazy to look up my number)
League of Legends: League of Legends is currently my "go to" competitive game and I have been playing a lot of it recently. I am not yet level 30 but I play about 30-50 games a month so I should be there soon. If you want to add me then PM me and I will give you my summoner name.
Step Mania: I have been mildly involved in Flash Flash Revolution for a little while but I'm just starting to get into the keyboard rythm game genre at the moment and I'm loving every minute of it. I play 4 finger spread (thanks FFR) and am not very good in all honesty. Still in training and trying to get better.
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion: Playing through the game again because I never quite finished it the first time (I know I'm a terrible person). Just had an urge to finish it before playing Skyrim.
Minecraft: Notch is a boss and made an awesome game. The Modding community is awesome. I enjoy building things with materials that I gather on my own but I don't do much exploring. I might upload some pictures of some of my stuff if any of it seems good enough to share with the world.
Some other random games: Beat Hazard, Audio Surf, SPaZ, Amnesia TDD, Torchlight, Atom Zombie Smasher

"Pop-up" restaurants are a hot dining trend, but they're old hat to the Charleston tradition of tea rooms.
A popular downtown tea room will spring into action Monday at St. Philip's Episcopal Church. The tea room will operate 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. daily through April 26 in the Parish Hall at Church and Cumberland streets.
Lowcountry luncheon favorites will return, such as "Charleston Receipts" okra soup, classic chicken salad and shrimp salad.
Desserts, made by parishioners, include Hummingbird Cake, Grand Marnier Cheesecake and Huguenot Torte as well as a variety of other options.
Guests may eat inside to the sounds of live piano music or outside in the courtyard or on the veranda. Takeout lunches also are available with delivery provided to downtown locations. Call 722-7291 to place an order.
Additionally, homemade items, baked goods and St. Philip's souvenirs will be sold in the tea room gift shop, and the sanctuary and grounds of the church will be open for tours.
Proceeds from the tea room benefit St. Philip's foreign and home missions, St. Philip's choirs, and junior and senior high youth ministries.

My Scenic Fine Art Photographs are Black & White, Color and Sepia—often a combination in one picture. This creates the illusion of an image within an image.
Please note that each image is a Single Photograph—a single shot. Other than adding Black & White or Sepia toning, and increasing contrast and saturation, No Manipulation is done. I mention this because I believe in the purity of Photography: Capturing a scene with one click of the camera shutter—no fakery.
When taking my Photographs, I look for a combination of shape, texture and color (or light and dark) coming together and playing off one another. You will often see in my Photos, multiple Architectural and Landscape elements converging.
Popular favorites include my Chicago Skyline Pictures. I also shoot great pictures of Landscape and Water, including the very scenic Chicago River and the Chicago Lakefront of Lake Michigan. These bodies of water provide great scenes for Architectural and Landscape Photography—a treat in a big city.
Enjoy my photos, which are available as free downloads, and for purchase as prints in many finishes. Click an image thumbnail for information on the subject of that picture, and on how to purchase my Fine Art Photography.

UNIVERSITY PARK - If there is such a thing as a moral victory in sports, the Penn State men's hockey team earned it Sunday against Minnesota, the top-ranked team in the nation.
The Nittany Lions rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie it in the third period in front of a raucous Pegula Arena crowd, only to see it slip away when Ben Marshall scored with 4:01 left in the game, giving the Golden Gophers the 3-2 victory Sunday night in the Lions' Big Ten home opener.
With the loss, the Nittany Lions fell to 4-11-1 overall and 0-3 in the Big Ten. Minnesota improved to 14-2-3 on the season and 4-0-1 in the conference. Penn State ends the home series with Minnesota tonight at 7 p.m.
"I think we are always optimistic. We have a good group of hard-working guys," Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said. "We had a preview of what this game would be like when we played Boston College and that helped. We are always disappointed when we lose. If you look at where we were from the start of the season, we are playing much better. I think we can be proud of some of the things we've done, but we don't feel good after losing."
Both teams gave the crowd their money's worth with solid forechecking, aggressive defense and excellent goaltending.
Minnesota opened the scoring with just 2:37 gone in the first. Defenseman Brady Skjei scored his third of the season, ripping a slap shot from the left face-off circle for the goal. A.J. Michaelson and Connor Reilly had the assists.
The Nittany Lions reacted to the score by tightening up its defense, limiting the Golden Gophers to just three shots in the final seven minutes of the period.
Penn State had two solid chances on a late period power play, but goalie Adam Wilcox (27 saves) stoned Kenny Brooks in front of the net and Curtis Loik's rebound from the slot.
"We expected a tough game from Penn State, especially on their home ice," Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. "We came out aggressive. We skated well early, but we got sloppy midway through the second period. It was a well-played game tonight and that's what you expect from Big Ten hockey."
Netminder Eamon McAdam (42 saves) kept the Nittany Lions in the game in the second period. Minnesota peppered the net with 14 shots, but the Penn State freshman was strong until Mike Reilly connected with a power-play tally at the 11:34 mark. The goal was the eighth of the season for the Gopher defenseman with Travis Boyd assisting.
"I thought Eamon was outstanding tonight. He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win," Gadowsky said. "I know he's hungry to get a win. From his work in practice and how he's been playing, he earned the right to start tonight.
"He gave up a goal early and then bounced back and made some huge saves for us. There was times where our defense played well, but he came up with some big saves to bail us out."
Penn State made it 2-1 late in the second when David Goodwin controlled the puck along the boards and fed a nifty pass to Taylor Holstrom in front of the net. Holstrom fired it under the left skate of Wilcox for his second goal of the season. Goodwin and David Thompson assisted.
"We felt we had life after the goal. We felt good about what we were doing," Gadowsky said. "We have to be a little more aggressive all over the ice. We gave up a power-play goal and that's something you can't afford to do against a team like Minnesota. We have to stay out of the penalty box."
The Nittany Lions knotted it up at 2-2 when David Glen scored his second of the season, redirecting a Nate Jenson slapper into the back of the net at 3:45. Jensen and Yanis assisted.
However, the heartbreak came after Marshall's game winner, assisted by Taylor Cammara.
"He (Cammara) came in on a 2-on-1, the save, it bounced out of the zone and then the guy (Marshall) walked the blue line and got off a good shot. It hit the post. I didn't see it. It's just a good goal," McAdam said. "It's tough to give up a goal any time but when you're in a 2-2 tie with the top team in the nation and let one go in it's tough. It's a mental toughness thing. We just have to bounce back and go after them tomorrow."
Minnesota out-shot Penn State 45-27. The Golden Gophers were 1-for-6 on the power play, while Penn State finished 0-for-3.

Whew! It has been a whirlwind. Haven't written for a while. I had to have surgery on my knee on March 4 and I am just starting to feel like I'm in the land of the living.
I was having a conversation with a friend and we were trying to figure out if there was such a thing as "spring break" when we were in school. Needless to say, we couldn't remember. All I know is that Christmas break zoomed by and before I could gather my thoughts (and funds), Spring Break had crept up on us.
Ryan had to stay on campus because the Film majors had a project they were working on. There was a part of me that was secretly thankful that I didn't have to purchase a round trip plane ticket but the other part of me was saddened by the fact that I wouldn't see my child until the end of April.
We had conflicts in our schedule for Parent Weekend so there was never plan to go. I was going on a planned trip and my husband had other obligations as well. I left for my trip and while I was away, I received a text and a picture on my phone from my 12 year old, Ross informing me that he and his dad were at Southern! The picture was of Ross standing in front of Wright Hall . Needless to say, I was shocked but wondered what happened and how it worked out. (I was on a cruise with 4 dear girlfriends celebrating turning a certain age) I didn't find out the full story until I came home.
Apparently, one of Ryan's friends text my husband on the Friday of Parent Weekend and asked him if he was planning on coming. She informed him that Ryan was really struggling with the fact that we were not going to be there and hinted that she was hoping that we would surprise him. Well, that sent my husband into real "daddy mode" and before he knew it he was online booking airline tickets that night. He woke my son up at 4am and told him that they were going to see Ryan! They left on a 7am flight and they really did surprise Ryan! My husband only spent the time with him. He didn't participate in any of the weekend's activities and my younger son Ross got to see his brother's environment in college. It was a whirlwind, worthwhile visit and fulfilling for the 3 guys in my life. The bill came today for the impromptu visit; I'm still smiling……I guess there are some things you just can't put a price on.

Coyotos Projects
This page will shortly provide an index of projects that are underway.
The Coyotos effort is our main project. Sub-projects are underway to implement SMP support and improved driver support for IA-32.
The sherpa library does the ``heavy lifting'' for various tools in the Coyotos tool chain. It also seems to be seeing use as a BSD-licensed bignum package. Assistance in improving libsherpa is generally appreciated.
Component Building
We will soon add a category of ``needed components'' to our Bugzilla database. These range in complexity from very easy to very hard. If you are looking for something to build, search for a needed component.
If you wish to contribute to the Coyotos effort, you need to execute the Joint Assignment Agreement. This allows us to enforce the open source license terms and to redistribute your work. Note that it is a joint assignment — you remain free to do anything you wish with your own work.
To submit the Joint Assignment Agreement, download the HTML file and edit it to put in your name, your address, and so forth. Sign it and send it to us by paper mail, by fax, or by e-mailing a scanned copy to assignments (at) eros-os.com.

Rafalski is a similar player to Schneider, has similar numbers, is 5 years younger and generally more durable. Who's to say he won't have chemistry with the Wings too?
As for players leaving due to coaching, do you have any evidence to support your claims? that it factored into Yzerman retiring, Shanny leaving?
I'm not saying that they left because of him...but I think he did contribute to the fact. Yzerman had atleast a year left in him...he was playing great. But if I remember correctly....Babcock would leave Yzerman sitting on the bench sometimes...especially nearing the end of the season...you don't do that to the NHL's best captain in history. He had no reason...Detroit would be on a power play...and Yzerman was usually on the bench. Shanahan and Babcock did have issues...they didn't always see eye to eye...if the coaching were different I think Shanny would've stuck around. I personally don't like Babcock...I don't think he's done much. But...that's just my opinion.
