Clayton's Christmas
I joined in with the Clayton's Christmas swap over at the No Fuss Swappers blog.
This was my first time swapping with this group and it was such a fun first exchange.
I received my parcel from the lovely Dzintra. We had to include a fat 1/4 of christmas fabric, a handmade or bought ornie, some buttons and a treat.
I love my goodies, thank you Dzintra.
Until next time, happy stitchingLisa

It's Been A While
Hello dear friends,
as the heading suggests it sure has been a while. However, I can happily report that I am now moved into our new home and loving it. Our old house went straight on the market for sale and again I can happily report that it went under offer at it's first home open, so fingers crossed now that the purchasers finance approval goes through.
So as you can imagine I have done zero stitching since my last post. I have unpacked all my lovely stitching treasures, gifts and exchange pieces and been organising them into there special places on bookshelves and drawers but I still haven't unpacked that mojo.
Here is a wonderful chart I received as a gift from a dear friend for my birthday this week.
Until next time, happy stitchingLisa

Lovely Surprise
I got two lovely surprises in the mail yesterday.
One was the chart I won over on Stitchersanon blog as mentioned in my previous post. However, Gaynor also included some of her own charts in the envelope too, so now I have some more wonderful Christmas themed charts to stitch. Thank you Gaynor.
My second surprise was from a dear member of my Stitch, Create, Exchange blog - Lynda Ruth. I didn't join in with the Christmas Joy round last year as I just had too much going on, but Lynda Ruth didn't want me to miss out and sent me along a great Christmas parcel. We thought it had got lost along the way, but from being posted on 29/11/2015 it finally made it to me on 12/02/2016. It doesn't matter as I will now have some new things to display for this coming Christmas instead.
Thank you Lynda Ruth for the lovely items you made and sent, it was kind of you to think of me.
Until next time, happy stitching

A Win To Start
Gosh it's been a whole month since my last post.
Well unfortunately I don't have anything to show. My time is currently spent getting our house ready for sale and a lot of my stash and supplies are packed away in boxes as we are de-cluttering so it helps to make the rooms look bigger. Luckily I have a great boss who has allowed us to store some small furniture pieces and boxes at my works warehouse so we don't have to hire a storage room.
I'm excited about moving, my son is attending a new private high school that has just been built up in our Eastern Hills suburbs so we want to move up there to be closer for him. We have lived in our current house for 10 years and updated it over that time, but it is only a small sized 4 bedroom 2 bathroom and now my son is growing we need more room anyway.
On the other hand I was the lucky winner of a chart giveaway over on stitcheranon's blog. I have always liked the look of this chart and can see some Christmas ornies for this year being done with this design.
Until next time, happy stitching

SSCS - Sent
Here is what I sent to my partner this year for Chookyblue's SSCS. I had to send to Anne Heidi.
My first stitchery that I made into a pillow and a cross stitched ornie.
Until next time, happy stitching.

Make cable user friendly again.
I don't have cable anymore and haven't for had it for over 12 years, and yes, boxes have a little to do with it.
problem solved - no fucking boxes.
Make cable user friendly again.
I don't have cable anymore and haven't for had it for over 12 years, and yes, boxes have a little to do with it.
and continue to use Netflix and Amazon, and if I feel like it step up to using Hulu Plus. All three are still cheaper each month (or year) than cable. If I decide to subscribe to a single web channel, and I have one, it's going to take a lot of channels, plus Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime together to catch up to the cost of cable. Honestly I don't care about most of the channels cable has.
If I order a CD off of Amazon a lot of the times it's CHEAPER than buying the MP3 album - and it comes with the MP3 album already ripped as a bonus. If it weren't for the fact I like to rip my disk to ogg I could put the CD in the box unopened and it would be cheaper than buying the digital album. Yes I realize I could convert the MP3s to ogg, don't lose site of what I'm doing here.
I buy my movies mostly on BluRay, when I buy a DVD I usually buy them from a super cheap bargain bin for $3 each. I rip them and put them on my media server. I don't have to worry about bandwidth caps or my unreliable cable connection to watch movies I bought that way. I have a toddler, on weekdays my TV pretty much plays Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and Popeye non-stop. I would rather play it all off of that hard drive that I filled up off of my legally purchased DVD's than have the bad karma or pirating. (even though half or more of that is in the public domain - the restored versions are worth a few bucks)
Yes I Netflix and Amazon Prime. I don't trust all of these companies to be perpetually available, and I don't trust the gestapo not to take over the Internet.
Unless it came from Warner Brothers.
Then it has bit-rot even if it looks pristine on the surface and if you email that about it they don't give you the courtesy of a fuck-you.
I've seriously considered getting one of those TV's that has built in Roku. If I'm not mistaken it will play back the media on my Kodi box anyways.
(I'm still on a CRT for now, long story)
WAF is a very heavy considering in my HTPC. Putting all my movies, music, and photos on KODI has a high WAF, however having to go to the Wii or use a clunky touchpad for Netflix is very low on her tolerance list. She will generally switch to the Wii so she doesn't have to deal with the stupid browser launcher and touchpad.
ICON = Idiots Can Operate Now
GUI = Goober User Interface
I use WIndows because I don't know how to use a computer.
All things I said in the 90's.
My real reason for wanting to be able to use my keyboard is I built a Kodi system and put all of my media on it. I really don't want to have to switch back to the Wii so my wife and kids can use Netflix, which they can't live without, and Amazon Prime video, which I have.
That and I have https://amzn.com/B00SIIU2N6 ">this as a control. I can make it work with the crappy little touchpad and have done so, but it breaks the feel of the whole system.
I rather like Sync. It's one of the biggest draws to the browser for me.
Most of the users at my company don't use it. It harms nothing being there. I don't care for pocket, have never used it. It doesn't bother me.
There's one thing really holding my HTPC back from sheer awesomeness.
The fact I can't navigate Netflix with a keyboard. Sure there's some rough scrolling and what have you, but it sucks. I want full screen arrow navigation. I know a webpage CAN do it, but why it won't do it is beyond me. The fact it CAN be done on commercial boxes with dedicated apps just annoys me so. I've tried to get copies of the apps meant for Blu-ray players, I even tried installing Dolphin to see if I could get the Wii version to work. No good.
Friggin arrow keys! How hard could that be?
I have a toddler that LOVES to push the panic button on the Ford's remote. Nah, about the only thing I'm really missing is opening the trunk without going to the drivers side door first, or opening the rear passenger door to shove the toddler into his seat first. Guess with time they decided you only need one keyhole on the outside of the car.
I only have one keyfob and it isn't actually paired with the car anyways - I have to open it old-school.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to get the company to shell out for new Office on every machine in the company.
I've pulled this on a users behalf before. They both loved and hated it, and in reality it was an I.T. guy doing a work-around for what a user should do on their own. I've also converted videos to WMV. Same story, and THOSE videos won't work if they send the Power Point to a Mac user.
I just want some sort of plugin I can deploy with the KBOX that will launch it as though it were native, or better yet have VLC automatically report itself as the opener of those files like Quicktime did. (I looked it up, apparently 2013+ this isn't an issue).
I hate to ask for this because overall I'm anti-Microsoft, but I'm a systems administrator at a company and I can't seem to teach my users much of anything, any time I do they have turnover and it's lost. It would be great if there were some way to make VLC the player that worked with Power Point. For some gawd-aweful reason Microsoft thinks you need an Apple product to playback h.264 video in a Power Point presentation and we don't allow that anymore since it's pwned.
I just want to thank you for an awesome product. I use it as a baby monitor with an IP cam at home (no MS products there). I use it on my phone to play podcasts in my car, I love the ability to increase playback speed (that's a little "non-sticky" of a setting). I
You're right.
It's even harder when you have people working full time to make sure it's skewed. Here's a left wing website to avoid "instantly dismissable" libertarian sources.
A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well as afterward.

Scott Manor House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Manor House was built sometime between 1769 and 1772 and is now a museum in Bedford, Nova Scotia. It is the second oldest house in the Halifax Regional Municipality, after the Morris House, and was built by Joseph Scott on the land once owned by his brother Captain George Scott.[1] The house was built next to Fort Sackville, which was under the command of Joseph Scott (1760).

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 4-6-A well-written mini-history of video games in general, and the different types of game structures that are commonly used, from PONG to CD-ROM to CD-I. Mention is made of virtual-reality program development. Skurzynski follows the evolution of a game from its conception, design, storyboard, animation, and programming to testing it with kids. Specific games are mentioned as examples, not as purchase recommendations. Full-color photographs, featuring a balance of girls and boys, are sharp and effectively advance the text. Formatting is open and user-friendly with lots of white space on each page. The last chapter, entitled ``Designing People,'' briefly decribes movers and shakers in the field. The technical information is accurate and clearly presented; there is enough of it to educate, without overwhelming, the intended audience. This title receives high scores on all fronts.-Carole B. Kirkpatrick, Terminal Park Elementary School, Auburn, WA
Know the Score: Video Games in Your High-Tech Worldby Gloria Skurzynski
Editorial Reviews
Carolyn PhelanIllustrated with full-color photographs on nearly every page, this book introduces video games, their history, design, hardware, presentation, and state-of-the-art technology. It then profiles several people who develop and promote these games for recreation and education. Some of the photos of people have a staged quality, while others seem more natural; pictures of the games and game systems are usually informative. The audience level is problematic. The writing is fairly clear, and the topic and format will appeal to kids in grades 2 to 3, but the vocabulary is often too difficult for them. In fact, the best audience might be adults who don't have a clue as to what's going on in the field, since interested kids seem to pick up much of this information from magazines and from each other. Still, there's nothing comparable in book format. The information is up-to-date, pictures of the insides of video games and computers will be new to many young readers, and the idea that there are people designing the games will give them something to think about--a career choice, maybe?

As the school year kicks off, it's safe to say that good grades are at the top of many people's school wishlists. While you can't deny that paying attention in class and doing the assigned work makes up a major part of the grade, there are other, usually overlooked, ways to earn fridge-worthy grade cards.
We spoke with with our resident nutrition expert, Mary Hartley, RD, and nutritionist and author Dr. Keith Kantor about which healthy habits may boost grades and improve performance in school.
Eat Healthy Foods
Mary shared that getting the right nutrients can boost the speed at which the brain works. "So many nutrients have a role in cognition, including cholesterol from egg yolks and dairy products, essential fatty acids from fatty fish, nuts and olive oil, and carotenoids and flavonoids found in colorful fruits and vegetables."
Back to School Food: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Donut Sandwiches
Get Your Vitamins and Minerals
"A host of micronutrients also play key roles in processes that run the brain, including iron, zinc, choline, selenium, iodine, magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamins A and C," Mary added.
Back to School Food: Rainbow Smoothie
The school year is fast-approaching for my little family, and may already be in session for yours. With this change of seasons comes the hustle of the morning routine.
Two different kids off to two different schools and a teenager who hates eating breakfast, unless its served after 11:00 a.m.
I know I can't send him out the door with an empty belly or a Pop-Tart clutched in his fist, so I did a little research and I think I found a few tweaks we can make to our schedule, and compromise foods that will make us both happy.
Come on, Mom, just 5 more minutes.
As children get older their sleep patterns change. Teens fall asleep later so the snooze button (slash mom's forgiveness) gets pushed to maximum capacity until finally there is no time for breakfast. To combat this, I'm instituting a decent school night bedtime and declaring that NO electronics will be allowed in his room past that time.
After more than a decade of using colorful language such as "miracle pill," silver bullet," and personally endorsing diet supplements and plans, Dr. Oz was taken to task by Senator Claire McCaskill during a Commerce subcommittee meeting telling him frankly, "You have an amazing megaphone. Why would you cheapen your show when you say things like that?"
Speaking in front of the Senate as part of a hearing on false claims made in advertisements for weight loss supplements, the popular television host defended his position saying that although his "passion" may have led him to use language he now regrets. He also feels his "enthusiastic" descriptions have been used, "out of context."
The doctor admitted that the products he touts don't pass "scientific muster." You think?
Doctor Jazz Hands
Dr. Oz is a TV personality with a penchant for the absurd, often sharing the stage with life size body parts and organs to illustrate his point. First and foremost, however, he is a licensed physician, which is why he was asked to join supplement manufacturers, advertisers, nutrition advocates, and other entities who make up the $2.4 billion diet supplement industry. McCaskill spoke about his responsibility as a doctor saying, "It is hard to tell sometimes with Dr. Oz where the doctor begins and ends, and where the entertainer begins and ends."
How would you feel about giving up food? Not for a fast, not for a cleanse, but giving up food completely and instead consuming pure nutrients in a daily "smoothie."
That's the idea Rob Rhinehart and his team stumbled upon when they were working on a technology startup at the end of 2012. Funds had run low, and they realized food costs were draining what little funds they had left.
He added he tried cheap food options, but they weren't what he needed. So he decided to approach food like he would any other engineering problem.
"You need amino acids and lipids, not milk itself," he said in an interview with the New Yorker. "You need carbohydrates, not bread. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, but they're mostly water."
"It just seemed like a system that's too complex and too expensive and too fragile."
Lucuma, camu, maqui – their names alone sound like something exotic and wonderful. In fact, they're some of the more common "super food" powders that many people are adding to their diet for added nutrition.
However, they may not be as beneficial as claimed. Many of these powders aren't quite what they appear to be. Dr. Mike Roussell discussed some of the reasons to avoid these powders in Shape Magazine.
"The trap that we fall into with many of these super food powders has to do with their exotic origins and the nutritional buzzwords attached to them," he told the magazine. "There is something alluring about these foods being used by ancient cultures in faraway jungles that causes us to assume that they must be better for us than the 'regular' foods we are currently eating."
That's really the gimmick of super food powders. Sure, some of them may include nutrients that do wonders for the body, but those nutrients aren't exclusive to the powders. They can be found in more common foods as well. (more…)

Evelyn Baz from Begin at Zero has created the ultimate scam. She is a fraud and has defrauded hundreds of visitors using a well known scam.
The way Evelyn Baz scams people is this:
She has created a fake review site where she takes programs and companies who are legitimately providing value & providing services to people.
She then – creates a fake review for the sole purpose of getting SEO for those keywords for that company or for that program.
SEO is when you get placed higher in the search engines for when visitors search for those companies.
When someone lands on her site, then Evelyn has a "template" that she uses for each program/company. She goes through telling everyone that program is a scam without actually having tried the program for the sole purpose of having people click on her Wealthy Affiliate.
She doesn't care about any of the people she bashes or the programs she's hurting.
Her ONLY purpose is to get a kickback from Wealthy Affiliate.
That's fraud.
When you create a fake review to steal other people's SEO for the sole purpose of getting a kickback, that's fraud.
That's why it's such a clever scam that Evelyn Baz and a ring of fake review sites are doing right now. It's a ring of fake blogs.
You can find her information here:
Evelyn Baz is a fraud so watch out for her. I just reported her to the FBI. Please do so as well. We'd like to lock her up for good.

Cover 32 gives you our top quarterbacks in this years draft class. Check it out! (Here)
Though everyone has thrown Andy Dalton under the bus, I still believe he is the Bengals' guy for years to come. So I wouldn't be surprised if Cincinnati stayed away from drafting a quarterback. Doing so could bring about conversations across the city, of why they should bench Dalton. That is the last thing Cincinnati wants to do with it's young quarterback. They need to strengthen his confidence. Especially after his collapse in the playoffs. Andy Dalton is a young and talented signal caller, but he needs to work on his composure. Bringing another qb in may not be great for competition. The last guy they said needed competition was Mark Sanchez, and we all know how that turned out.
But if the Bengals did want to pick a quarterback late, maybe for security purposes, AJ McCarron is the guy. He doesn't come with too much hype, and he will be available after Cincinnati has filled all of it's needs. McCarron is a proven winner, his track record at Alabama speaks for itself. AJ would fit well in Marvin Lewis' system. He's a great young man, who just wants to win and get better. For Cincinnati that is the next step, bringing in players who buy in to what the organization is trying to do. McCarron is a low maintenance quarterback, who doesn't care for all the fame and media. He's a hard worker and will make sure he is prepared to step in if Andy Dalton were to ever miss time.
Many see the 6-4 215 pound qb as a "game manager," as you will notice on the list. But I suggest we look deeper than that. The 2013 Maxwell award winner threw for 28 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. He protects the ball and doesn't take big risks, something Andy Dalton has problems with. The Alabama legend broke many passing records during his time in college, and won many championships as well. This would be a player who will naturally give Andy Dalton reasons to step up, perform, and compose himself. Besides, if Andy Dalton continues to lose when it counts, McCarron will be ready to step on the field and lead this team. That's a win-win for Cincinnati.

Special session to redraw state's congressional maps underway
TALLAHASSEE - They were caught breaking the law, and now state lawmakers are back at work to fix the mess they created.
Civility reigned as the Florida House began discussing how to fix the state's unconstitutional congressional maps.
But behind the scene Democrats remained skeptical that the same Republicans who gerrymandered the districts in 2012 could produce fair maps this time.
"The people who are in charge need to be held to a higher standard," House Minority Leader Perry Thurston said Thursday.
Thurston asked if the House committee that will draw the maps – the committee has eight Republicans and five Democrats -- will take questions about the lines from other members, as a way of ensuring a fair process.
"Certainly in this last session when we were here to do this that wasn't done," said Thurston.
"Any amendments to the maps will be debated, amended in committee," said Rep. Richard Corcoran, a Republican from Land
Meanwhile the clock is ticking and the price
The state will spend about $60,000 a day paying for the special session.
Under the judge's order, they must redraw Democrat Corinne
But it won't stop there, an early map, already submitted fixes the two districts, but in doing so also makes slight changes to five other districts.
Lawmakers know, they must satisfy the judge's order, but that every line they move only costs more money.
Officials said it will coast millions of dollars to hold a special election, and every county that has even one line move will need to hold a special election, perhaps in December.

Here we're going to take a look at how we can do some post-crop vignetting work with this particular image. So let's navigate over to our Effects panel. We are going to do that by way of a shortcut. If you're on a Mac, Command+Option+7; on Windows, Ctrl+Alt+7. Well now that we are here, I am going to go ahead and press the C key to select the Crop tool. I will go ahead and simply click and drag over the image. I'm not really too concerned about the crop area, but I simply want to extend the crop out to show, or highlight, how this post-crop vignetting works.
Well, once we have a crop area defined, what we can do is then add some vignetting. In this case, I am going to go ahead and darken up the corners. Now if I change my crop, the darken effect will travel with this crop area. Now, of course, you don't always work with this tool in this view. Many times what you will do is press Enter or Return to apply the crop and then dial in the post-crop vignetting. Now that we have the crop here that we want to work with, let's take a look at how these controls actually work on a photograph. Well, here we have our amount.
Our midpoint is going to bring that effect into the center of the image. If we change the amount to a positive side, we can then brighten up those edges. Negative, that's darken. Roundness, we can control the overall shape if we just want an edge darkening effect, or for that matter, an edge brightening effect. We could dial that in this way by changing the Roundness. And we can also control the overall Feather, either having a real precise edge or having an edge that has some diffusion to it. Now for the sake of a demo, I am going to add quite a bit of diffusion here, and I am going to go ahead and reduce some of that Roundness so that we can really pay attention to this transition area of the edges.
We have a few different styles: Highlight Priority, Color Priority, which is going to focus in on some color, and then Paint Overlay, which is just a little bit more of a diffuse darkening effect. We will see the huge differences between these styles, really highlight color priority versus paint, when we make a selection of one of these and increase the highlights, and you can see here that it's as if that dress has just been painted back in. It's allowing us to maintain the detail that we had there, not darken that portion of the image.
Now, we take this to Paint Overlay and again, it's just diffused all the way around the board. Same thing will be true with Highlight Priority. It will save those details there, and we can see that as we make our way through. Now in this case, this affect is much too strong, but it does really illustrate what's happening here. So what we can do is we can slowly find a nice spot for this, and we'll go ahead and modify this effect and then let's say we just want to darken up those edges to create kind of a moody, romantic look with this image.
So I will go ahead and find a nice darkening amount, saving my highlights there, so we still have nice dress detail. Then the last thing I am going to want to do here is to go back to the Basic panel and make any adjustments, and I find that sometimes it's nice just to sweeten this up a bit, modify some of our controls here. Next thing I want to do is just fix my crop because there is a person in the background. Press the C key to access the Crop tool. I am just going to do a free-form crop. I will go ahead and pull that in. You'll notice it will bring my edge in as well. Press Enter or Return, and we have wrapped up our work on learning how to work with post-crop vignetting.

A very enjoyable production. The theater is small so there are no bad seats. Most of the actors are college students, but they were very good in their roles.

CBS Wishes Neimans a Happy 100th
CBS Sunday Morning was in town to profile Neiman Marcus, just in time for the holidays -- specifically, its 100th Anniversary Christmas Book, which, this year features, among other high-priced items, a private concert (hosted by Regis Philbin) and the Triton 1000 submarine for a $1.44 million. (And, yes -- just look under your tree.) Also receiving heavy mention in the piece was Neimans spokesperson Ginger Reeder, who, turns out, does indeed choose the gifts for the fantasy section of the book -- in addition to handling duties as the company's corporate communications honcho.
She's been picking the fantasy gifts for 11 years, she tells Unfair Park this morning: "That's my fun job." And the best part of a high-profile profile like yesterday's, she says, is not only does it provide terrific PR for Neimans, but "in terms of the Christmas book, people will come out of the woodwork starting today and say, 'Do I have a great fantasy gift for you,'" Reeder says. "And this encourages me, to see there are plenty of crazy people out there making extravagant gifts." --Robert Wilonsky

"Thank You" is a song written and performed by English singer-songwriter Dido. The song, released on her 1999 debut album, No Angel, made its first appearance in 1998, on the soundtrack of Sliding Doors, although it was not released as a single until late 2000. It was later featured on Dido's debut album, No Angel, becoming the album's biggest hit. The song's first verse is notably used as the chorus in the song "Stan" by American rapper Eminem.[1]
Song information[edit]
Dido wrote the song and it was about her boyfriend, entertainment lawyer Bob Page. They got engaged in 2001 but their split the following year inspired "White Flag," which features on Dido's second album Life for Rent, and is about their split. It remains Dido's biggest hit single in the US to date, and her only one to reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The song is written in the key of B major with a tempo of 80 beats per minute in common time. It follows a chord progression of G♯m – Emaj7 – F♯ – B – F♯/A♯, and Dido's vocals span from F♯3 to B4 in the song.[2]
Eminem's "Stan"[edit]
Eminem's critically acclaimed single "Stan" samples the first verse of the song for its chorus. Dido herself appears in the music video for "Stan" and has made appearances on Eminem's tours to perform the song. When Eminem performed "Stan" live at the 2001 Grammy Awards, Elton John sang the Dido sample as he played keyboard during the performance.
Deep Dish version[edit]
The house duo Deep Dish remixed the song. It won a Grammy Award for "Best Remixed Recording" in 2002.
Syke's "Dear Kuya"[edit]
Syke's single "Dear Kuya" samples the Thunderstorm Remix of the song for its chorus. Syke, who was formerly from the Ghetto Doggs, wrote this song & dissed Andrew E. on his anomalies.[3]
Critical reception[edit]
"Thank You" received critical acclaim from music critics, who thought the ballad was very "touching and soft" and an instant standout to the album. Jeff Burger from Allmusic had highlighted "Thank You" as an album standout.[4] Christian Ward from NME had said "'Thank You,' which, far from conjuring up images of lunatic fan-worship, is more reminiscent of The Corrs. Now that really is sick."[5]
Chart performance[edit]
"Thank You" reached a peak position of #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 2001, becoming Dido's first and only top three single in the United States. In the United Kingdom, "Thank You" also reached a peak position of #3, becoming the singer's third top three single from No Angel in the United Kingdom. It was Dido's biggest single in the United Kingdom, until the release of "White Flag."
"Thank You" also performed very well in other mainstream markets. In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 47. The song later peaked at number three for three consecutive weeks. The song later re-entered at number 37, until falling at number 50, then re-entered at number 49.[6] The song was not released as single in Australia, but did receive significant radio airplay. The song debuted and peaked at number 17 in Norway, until falling at number 20.[7] The song debuted at number 68 in the Netherlands, and then it peaked at number 29, staying there for two consecutive weeks.[8] The song also reached number 16 in Switzerland and number 25 in Austria.
Since becoming her biggest hit in both countries, the song has often been recognized as Dido's signature song.
Music video[edit]
Dido recorded a music video for "Thank You." In the video, Dido has not paid her bills, and the government comes to tear down her house. The construction workers put an eviction notice on her door and move her things out. Dido, who seems oblivious to the fact that her house has been barricaded, is seen simply singing the song. In the end, she is escorted out of her home and is forced to walk the streets with a backpack and suitcases. During the first chorus of the song, Dido has a cup of tea whilst moving and demolishing all the stuff outside her house into the van.
The end of the video implies that her house is being torn down for redevelopment. (Her home is sandwiched between two large skyscrapers.) The video was directed by Dave Meyers and was released in January of 2001.
Another music video has Dido performing the song live at one of her concerts, audio is dubbed from the soundtrack.

Curtis Maurice Canady, Alleged Pimp Underage Girls Called "Cash," Faces Up to Life in Prison
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. in Santa Ana got together, kicked the tires on pimping cases both brought against a 19-year-old South Los Angeles man and decided the case will be tried in federal court. That is because, for allegedly trafficking in girls between the ages of 14 and 16, Curtis Maurice Canady, who also goes by "Cash," could go to prison for life with a conviction in U.S. District Court.
The minimum time Canady faces for conviction on either of two counts of child sex trafficking is 10 years in federal prison.
Rackauckas' office had been first to announce state charges against him of two counts of human trafficking with the intent to pander, two counts of pandering a minor by procuring, and one count of attempted pimping.
The state and federal agencies are essentially gambling on five years of prison time, because the maximum sentence Canady faced with a conviction in Orange County Superior Court was 15 years in state prison.

It's worth it, according to the heads of the respective government prosecution agencies. Birotte says in a joint statement, "This case demonstrates the value of collaborative law enforcement to most effectively bring justice to the victims of this most troubling offense."
T-Rack is more blunt in the same release: "The U.S. Attorney and I will coordinate efforts to take these modern-day slave owners and human traffickers off the streets and prosecute them for the greatest possible punishment under the law for sexually exploiting children for their greedy purposes."
Canady was arrested July 25 as part of an FBI-led initiative called "Operation Cross Country." According to the federal complaint, he had driven female prostitutes, including two girls who are 15 and 16, to Anaheim.
Task force investigators located one victim in a motel room in Los Angeles on the 25th, and she not only admitted to working as a prostitute for Canady but that she accompanied him and another minor to Las Vegas, where they worked as prostitutes. The investigation determined one underage girl had been advertised online for prostitution services in the Palmdale area, according to the FBI.

Linda handled my case professionally and quickly. I was in court literally for 11 minutes and walked out debt free. Linda does what she says she's going to do and I would highly recommend her.
Anonymous review posted on
My husband and were victims of identity theft and our entire life savings stolen from our financial institutions. We identified the responsible party and the police are investigating. I went to Ms. Deos for help in pursuing the financial institutions for their lack of fiduciary responsibility, I gave her a $1000 retainer. I heard nothing from her until FIVE MONTHS later when she emailed me and said she would need another $10,000 to continue and that amount would go up. I got absolutely nothing for the $1000 retainer and had to find another attorney. Her delay greatly jeopardized our case. When I requested a refund, she finally sent me an itemized list of what she supposedly did. Included in that list was a charge for the one hour "complementary" consultation she promised me. When I told her I still wanted a refund she send me a refund check supposedly for two hours of her time. When I challenged the amount because it was no ways near what she claimed as her hourly fee, she sent me an additional check for $100. She still refuses to reimburse me for what she charged me for the "complementary" one hour consultation I am entitled to through my prepaid legal membership. Dealing with her has been a nightmare we did not need.

The Official Gmail Blog has officially warned users to "Confirm your Buzz settings."
Image via CrunchBase
Todd Jackson, Product Manager, posted the following warning yesterday afternoon: "Shortly after launching Google Buzz, we quickly realized we didn't get everything right and moved as fast as possible to improve the Buzz experience. We made a number of changes to the getting started experience based on your feedback, the most significant of which was replacing auto-following with suggestions for people to follow."
He added, "Rather than automatically setting you up to follow the people you email and chat with most, Google Buzz now suggests people for you to follow instead. This way, Buzz is still simple to set up (no one wants to peck out an entire social network from scratch) but you aren't set up to follow anyone until you choose to do so."
To help users keep up to date with all of the changes being made to Google Buzz, the company has created a Google Buzz account. Is it just me, or does this strike you as ironic?
Okay, so it isn't as weird as Toyota offering to loan you a car while they're working on your "runaway Prius." But, I plan to check out the tips and tricks on using Google Buzz by watching the videos on Google's new YouTube channel: youtube.com/googlebuzz.

No time for three meals a day: Traditional diet is a thing of the past because of busy lifestyles
Trend: A quarter of Brits prefer to pick at snacks at work, waiting until the evening to sit down to their only meal of the day
The traditional diet of three meals a day has become a thing of the past - with most Britons now getting by on just two, a study revealed yesterday.
Research which studied the dietary habits of 2,000 adults found the tried and tested breakfast, lunch, dinner template is a rare treat for many.
Now our hectic lifestyles and obsession with our image, weight and waistlines mean more than half often skip breakfast and 'make it through to lunch'.
The report also found a quarter of Brits prefer to pick at snacks at work, waiting until the evening to sit down to their only meal of the day.
Worryingly, one in ten adults said they swap dinner for alcohol when they are going out for an evening and forget about food until the following day.
The study, commissioned by leading mutual Benenden Healthcare Society, also found the average person only eats 11 full meals in a typical week, with the reliance on microwaveable food an increasing part of modern diets.
Jane Cooper of Benenden said: 'The days of eating three square meals appear to be behind us, with the average Brit's modern lifestyle changing the way we approach our diet.
'Just two meals a day is becoming the norm with the all-important breakfast being the first meal abandoned in our daily rush.
One in five Brits claim they don't get hungry in the morning and so miss the opportunity to give their metabolism a good kick-start to get the day going.
'We are also losing the social side of diet as we tackle the daily grind, only snacking when we're able to; just five meals a week are being spent in the company of other people.'
Researchers found millions of Brits have altered their eating habits over the last five years.
More than half no longer eat a proper breakfast because of a lack of time and many avoid the meal completely, with a third claiming they never get hungry in the morning.
And fast-paced lifestyles and snacking culture mean a quarter of Brits manage just two properly cooked meals a week.
One in ten say they often don't get hungry at work and tend to skip lunch, while thirty per cent regularly go without any lunch at all.
Hectic lifestyles and obsession with our image, weight and waistlines mean more than half of Britons often skip breakfast and 'make it through to lunch'
The tendency to eat on the move or snack regularly is also removing the social element of eating, with the average Brit now spending just five meals a week sitting down in the company of others.
One tenth of people now snack all through the day and one in five consume their daytime food at their desk while working.
When it comes to dinner, a third of Brits say their snacking often stops them feeling hungry enough to bother with dinner - working late and fatigue are other huge barriers to eating a proper evening meal.
In fact, a fifth admit they are simply too lazy to think about cooking.
Over half of respondents said their diet suffers because of their busy lifestyle, while one in twenty Brits has fallen ill in the past because of the poor quality of their diet.
And an indication of where our diets are heading can be seen in the fifth of Brits using the microwave for more of their cooking than they used to.
While a third of Brits have cut down on the meals they eat in a dramatic bid to lose weight.
It also emerged the average person cooks just four times a week, but a quarter of Brits manage just two cooked meals a week.
The trend seems to be towards eating one big meal a day before topping up with snacks for a quarter of the study, while one in five eat little and often, choosing many small meals over the traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Jane Cooper added: 'The hectic modern lifestyle does the average Brit absolutely no favours.
'Proper cooking is on the decrease, microwaveable foods are on the rise and the quality of our diet suffers enormously.
'This lifestyle can lead to a range of underlying health issues, resulting from a poor intake of key nutrition.
'Additionally, the lack of proper family meals or taking the time out to prepare a good spread means we lose the opportunity to unwind from the day's stresses and catch up with others.'
