How does the Mii Parading work?
I click it and wait about 20 minutes and nothign happens. Anyone out there?
Have you created any Mii's?
Because I think Mii parade should be a march of your own created Mii's (Maybe even some from Wiiconnect24 like Mii's from your address book ect.)

And if you read what it was about, which it tells you right when you start it, (Or click something there, forget which.) you'd know that it's a parade of the Mii's stashed in your memory, or ones that have traveled to your console.

Back on the 11th, we reported that representatives of various foreign broadcasters—both those who had secured the rights to Game of Thrones and those who were still undecided—had had the first two episodes screened to them. The word from HBO was that the response was "VERY positive", and they expected to see more foreign rights deals to be secured on the strength of it.
Now we can report a summary of some remarks from one of the representatives who was in attendance. Göran Danasten, head of fiction acquisitions for Swedish broadcaster Sweden, had some thoughtful commentary on what he saw and what his thoughts were about it. His remarks (in Swedish) can be found starting here
After a bit of a delay, our gallery has been caught up to date with the latest videos. Most over-due are screencaps of the Maisie Williams Artisans' video. Not too much commentary on these, but there's some great shots of Arya with Syrio. More significantly, we've now completed screencapping and annotating the "Invitation to Westeros" promo, with quite a few observations mixed in that fans might be interested in.
The first image of that can be found from that series, featuring Daenerys, can be found here.
Via The Guardian, Sky Atlantic has just announced that Game of Thrones will premiere in the U.K. on April 18th, the day after the U.S. premiere on HBO! This was very much hoped for by British fans, and it looks like Sky and HBO agreed with them that this. And just to head off those questions, we asked clarification as to whether it'd be just for the premiere or not. Here's what Sky Atlantichad to say:
A brand new behind-the-scenes video from Making Game of Thrones, as they show us glimpses of each of the major areas that are the focus of the story. Lots of good stuff to be seen ... and it looks, from some tweets, that they actually aired it just now, too!
James Cosmo, who plays Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, paid a visit to an old acquaintance to wish them happy birthday. The Beaver County Times provides a report, and it's what you'd largely expect from a local paper… but we do have a couple of remarks concerning Game of Thrones:
The 62-year-old actor already has moved on to a new HBO medieval-fantasy drama, "Game of Thrones" where he'll play the lord in charge of an army of knights that guard a protective ice wall in a land where winters last 10 years. Cosmo is confident "Game of Thrones" will be a hit.
"It's pretty violent, and pretty sexy, with lots of political intrigue," Cosmo said. "They conjure up a wonderful world. It's got a 'Lord of the Rings' mythical quality to it, but there's horror elements and zombies and lots of swords and horses."
It looks like its official: CANAL+ Sweden and Finland (well, they're one of the Nordic countries—close enough!) have moved from "late spring" to May for its airing of HBO's Game of Thrones, which means that CANAL+ Norway and CANAL+ Denmark will be following suit as the premier for CANAL+ shows is always the same in these four countries. No exact word on air date, but CANAL+ Sweden informs us that beginning of May is their target and they hope to soon to be able to announce a firmer date. CANAL+ has an official page for the series, which we expect will be updated when the official airdate is decided.
You can read the press release either translated into English or in Swedish as part of a new feature to the site where we will give news particularly relevant to Sweden and Scandinavia in Swedish. Simply look for the links to the Swedish version at the bottom of the article.
The Making Game of Thrones site has a new article, by way of Bryan Cogman, which is essentially the official pronunciation guide for the first season.
There's been a few items of note this last week, though on the whole it's been a bit quieter. Here's a round-up of some of the more recent news items that may be of interest of fans of the series:
Maureen Ryan has broken the news that Stephen Warbeck, the Academy Award-winning composer who we reported was selected to score Game of Thrones, parted ways with the production. His replacement has already been selected, and according to Ryan's exclusive, it's film composer Ramin Djawadi.
A protégé of Hans Zimmer who contributed music to a number of Zimmer-scored films, including Batman Begins and Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, he has since gone on to score a few Hollywood blockbusters in his own right, including Iron Man and Clash of the Titans, while also working in television. A look at his IMDB award pages notes no really notable wins, but he has been nominated for the Emmy and Grammy awards in the recent past.
We've put together a playlist of some of his work, including a suite from Clash of the Titans, as well as a short interview. A German-born composer of Persian descent, his mention of a love for Iranian and Middle Eastern music is interesting, as well as his preference for the Romantic composers such as Brahms, Schumann, and Tchaikovsky. A cursory glance at commentary on his work suggests the he has been, at least up to recently, very much in the Hans Zimmer mold, which might suggest that the inclusion of tracks from Gladiator in the 15 minute reel was not purely coincidental—a sign that the Game of Thrones score will be aiming at an epic, cinematic quality?
Following this morning's sad news that Margaret John, the actress who played Old Nan, had passed away, we have received a statement from executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss regarding the actress:
Again, our condolences to her family and friends. More tributes and obituaries can be found at Wales Online, the Daily Star, and The Guardian.
Very sadly, we must share the news from the BBC that Margaret John has passed away at the age of 84, after a short illness. The Welsh actress was much beloved, being called a national treasure by BBC documentary makers. Her casting as Old Nan was met with excitement by fans who were quickly endeared to her after watching her teach viewers how to make Welsh cakes for St. David's Day on a BBC Wales video.
Her voice over for the extended teaser is a memorable one, and cemented the opinion of many fans that she would make an excellent Old Nan. Our condolences to her family and he friends, especially all of those who had the honor and the pleasure to meet and work with her during the filming of HBO's Game of Thrones:
We've updated our Behind the Scenes gallery with 44 new images (starting here), taken from the Buster Reeves Artisan's video released at Making Game of Thrones a couple of weeks ago. Lots of details of fight scenes, but the image we're highlighting here depicts a character from the books that has not previously been named: Dareon, the singer's apprentice sent to the Wall for allegedly raping Lord Rowan's daughter. He's the fellow on the left.
The actor is probably more along the lines of a featured extra, and may not even have any lines, but I saw him being addressed as Dareon while I was watching some of the filming at Magheramorne (if anyone knows the actor's full name, do let us know!. I suspect some of the other Night's Watch recruits in the background may also be given names after some of the other recruits from the novel, such as Cuger and Halder.
In other news, expect our exclusive set reports from my visit to Belfast in October—which we started but then had to postpone to hash out some details—to resume later this month, with some exclusive pictures and details that we haven't yet had the opportunity to report.
Although we've previously reported information on when Game of Thrones will premiere in Sweden via pay-cabler Canal+ (April/May is as specific as we've been able to get so far), we haven't been able to remark on public broadcasts because there was very little information. Until now, that is, after Göran Danasten (SVT's head of fiction acquisition) tweeted that he was going to be see the show (presumably its first episode or episodes) next week.
This seemed a tip-off that SVT had acquired or was in the process of acquiring the program, and further conversation with Mr. Danasten confirmed this—SVT will be airing Game of Thrones in Sweden. As to when, there are no exact dates as of yet, but we've been told that Canal+ has an exclusivity period, so probably no earlier than the end of 2011.
Oh, this is an excellent entry in the fantastic series of Artisan's videos from Making Game of Thrones, as we get a great introduction to Maisie Williams, the young actress playing Arya and learn something of what it was like for her to learn how to fight with a sword for the role. Also, a few glimpses of Syrio, and what certainly looks like some rehearsal of a major scene for both characters…
An article focusing on Sky's upcoming plans provides a tidbit of information which I believe narrows down when Game of Thrones is likely to premiere on Sky Atlantic (which begins to air tomorrow, February 1st, and will be free to all Sky customers through August). This paragraph seems to be a giveaway:
If that holds, and Sky doesn't run any special "preview" airings of the premiere closer to the U.S. air date, I'll go out on a limb and predict April 23rd as the launch of the series on Sky Atlantic. April 30th is the only other Saturday in April that's available, but with almost two weeks between it and the U.S. premiere, it seems to us that Sky will recognize that for the error that it is. Of course, there are fans who'll be hoping for an airing on the Monday following the U.S. airing, much as HBO Central Europe seems to be getting, and so this may be disappointing. Still, it's only speculative right now, as Sky Atlantic has not confirmed an air date for the series as of yet.

WENTWORTH - The Conservative Party of Canada has stripped decision-making capabilities from the local Tory association's board of directors.
Don Plett, the national council's president, told the Monday News the council "will be suspending operations of the (Cumberland Colchester Musquodoboit Valley Conservative Association's) board ... but we are not disbanding the board."
What that means is current association board members will be allowed to remain on the board, but will not be permitted in decision-making. Instead, members of a newly created management committee will be responsible for decision-making.
"We will put the committee in place within days ... some of the (current) board members will be on the new management committee," said Plett.
Board members met with representatives from the national council in Wentworth last night. Most board members still support Bill Casey as their desired Conservative candidate for the next federal election even though the government said that will not happen.
"The board is standing strong. We were told by the national council that any member who doesn't support a Conservative candidate other than Bill Casey should resign from the board," Scott Armstrong, president of the local association riding. "Most of us wouldn't do that. We've done nothing wrong; why should we resign? We're taking it to the general membership to decide."
Two people did resign from the board.
The board suggested setting up an annual general meeting for the end of November, at which time a new board of directors would be voted in. Some of the new members could be current members re-voted in. Plett said the AGM will take place, but the council will decide when.
No board members would comment on the situation last night.

The number is climbing.
Police arrested 36-year-old Tonya D. Sieversten of Orion Township and she was arraigned Monday on two counts of home invasion, although police said she's confessed to 7 incidents and she's been connected to three more.
"Our suspect is up to 10 invasions and we have more victims coming in all week to ID more property," said Oakland County Orion Township Substation Commander: Lt. Dan Toth. "We have identified about half the recovered property in just the 10 crimes we currently know about.
"Our home invasions were up 200% this year in Orion Township and this suspect is a large part of that increase."
While investigating a home invasion in Rochester Hills on Sept. 7, deputies identified a possible suspect.
After performing a stop of the suspect's vehicle, deputies discovered several stolen items, including jewelry and other valuables, according to the Sheriff's Department.
They said a followup search of her home and a storage unit she rented revealed "a very large amount of stolen property."
"Due to the large amount of recovered stolen property, investigators anticipate additional home invasions will be connected to this suspect," sheriff's officials said.

Among the 27 projects on the Beaverton School District bond measure is $10 million to improve the Maintenance Facility.
Lost a key? The locksmith is here with oodles of key blanks.
Soccer ball through a classroom window? The glazier can find and cut to size replacement glass.
Burst pipe? The plumber can handle that. Although, there's only one plumber for the entire district.
Shivering students? Heating and air-conditioning folks can remotely reboot the heating system.
This collection of mostly metal-sided warehouses converted into offices, work space and storage is where those who keep the schools clean, landscaped and functioning can be found when they're not at school sites.
About 225 employees work out of the buildings, which the district acquired in 1971 when Beaverton School District had 28 schools, according to district information. Now, the district has 51 schools, and little has changed at the Maintenance Facility in that time.
"To give them what they need, not just what they want, is about 20 years overdue," said Sheri Stanley, project manager, facilities development.
The $680 million bond will pay for 27 projects including a new high school, middle school and elementary. It will rebuild Vose, Hazeldale and William Walker elementary schools as well as the Arts and Communication Magnet Academy. It will renovate Five Oaks Middle School, Raleigh Hills K-8 and others. It will improve security across the district and fund needed repairs at nearly every school. It will also pay to improve technology across the district, both infrastructure and computer devices.
The district says the bond will not increase the bond rate property owners currently pay. It will remain at $2.11 per $1,000 of assessed value because the new payments would come onto the rolls as the district pays off previous bonds.
The Maintenance Facility has taken a back seat to the needs of schools over the years, and some still question the idea of improving the site.
Ken Anderson, administrator for maintenance services, described the need from another perspective.
"The best teachers in the world and the best students in the world are not going to succeed if the roof leaks or the HVAC (heating/air-conditioning) doesn't work," he said.
Over the years, the district has taken land the Maintenance folks used for storage and parking for other uses, such as new schools. Now, staff parks in the neighborhoods surrounding the Maintenance Facility at 2180 SW 170th Ave, Anderson said.
"The district has grown and we have shrunk," he said.
Trucks delivering tractors, gravel and other landscaping equipment struggle to make the tight turn on the property, among other problems from the land-locked space. The floor of the room that holds parts for virtually everything needed in a school is sagging, the makeshift lunchroom has no sink and there's a single women's bathroom.
Among the collection of mowers, tractors, waxers, keys, glass and wiring are the archived blueprints for all of the district's schools. They are copies of the original blueprints but the building lacks a fireproof storage area.
The $10 million would pay to renovate the site to make the existing space more efficient, renovate offices, add another warehouse/office/work space as well as additional storage sheds.
The bond will be on the May 20 ballot.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Glenn Detulleo is perfectly fine in his retirement as a hockey player and the transition into coaching. But in a sport where most coaching is done with skates on the feet and a stick in hand, the itch is occasionally scratched.
Detulleo sped down the ice Tuesday morning in a one-on-one shootout scenario, made one feint, then drilled a shot deep into the net.
But while the Huntsville Havoc continued some informal skating and shooting, in preparation for Thursday night game with the Mississippi Surge (7:30, Probst Arena at the Von Braun Center), Detulleo caught his breath and tried to put the first 11 games of the season in perspective.
"Obviously this isn't the start we want as far as the standings are concerned," Detulleo said of the Havoc's 3-7-1 record, with its seven points leaving Huntsville tied for seventh in the nine-team Southern Professional Hockey League.
"Still, I've seen a lot of good things, a lot more good things than bad," he continued. "It's a matter of putting it all together in a game, 40 minutes at a time, 50 minutes at a time."
With a relatively young team, Detulleo said "our biggest thing is consistency" and the Havoc has been haunted by brief "10 minute lapses that cost us."
He's been pleased with "the chemistry we have in the locker room and for the most part the work ethic is great. The attitude is great and the guys are positive and wanting to get better."
He singled out goaltender Dan McWhinney, who already has a league-high 322 saves in 10 starts. He's already faced 110 more shots than any other goalie in the SPHL.
"He's been there for us all year," Detulleo said. "He's kept us in most of the games. We've been fortunate to have a goaltender we can count on. It'd be nice if we could reward him with a few more wins."
Fayetteville, at 10-1 and with 20 points, is atop the Southern Professional Hockey League. The FireAntz lone loss was to the Havoc.
That's emblematic of the league's balance, Detulleo believes.
"On any given night, if you're not playing your best game, you're not going to win," he said. "The league is better than it was last year, the caliber of play is better. It's going to be a dogfight all year to get those eight playoff spots."

It's a Wonderful Live - Movie Trailer
In our house, my family and I have traditionally watched the movie on Christmas Eve, although it is a good movie to be watched any time of the year. Because of our tradition, when I think of characters of Christmas, George Bailey is one who pops into my mind.
I wrote the book, The Characters of Christmas: God at Work in our Lives, to encourage people to realize that God is always working in our lives, even if we cannot see it or feel it. The book is not about fictitious characters from a movie, like George Bailey, and it's not just another Christmas book or a book to be read at Christmas time. In the book, I take the real-life characters of the Bible at the birth of Jesus and show how God worked in their lives while making it relevant to each reader by showing how God is working in his or her life, no matter what he or she is going through. It will speak to you during any season of the year and regardless of the season of life that you currently find yourself in. I pray that, like Clarence Odbody, God will use the book as a messenger to show readers, and those they recommend or give it to, that God is truly at work in their lives. With some it will be just in time.
Know that you are loved,

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Even on the market's worst days, buyout news and other short-term forces can send individual stocks up by 10%, 25%, even 50%.
For example, shares of insurer XL Capital rose 35% on Friday, despite the company's disclosure of surging investment losses. Overall, the stock has fallen 70% this month.
But beyond less-predictable events like that one are stocks with fundamentally compelling reasons for recent momentum. The trick is to find those stocks. That's where Motley Fool CAPS comes in.
The story behind the story
CAPS is no crowd of lemmings. Its best-performing members' opinions do more to shape each company's rating than the picks of their poorer-performing peers. Let's use the collective wisdom of more than 115,000 CAPS members to filter out the noise and find companies offering strong momentum.
We'll use CAPS' handy stock screening tool to quickly zero in on companies with a stock price increase of at least 10% in the past four weeks, a market cap of greater than $100 million, and a beta of less than 3.
Here's a sample of stocks our CAPS screen returned:
CAPS Rating
CME Group (Nasdaq: CME )
Royal Gold (Nasdaq: RGLD )
Harmony Gold Mining (NYSE: HMY )
Source: Motley Fool CAPS. Price return from Sept. 12 through Oct. 10.
CME Group
No matter what the market, there are always companies making money in the middle. CME Group is a holding company that owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade, where many options and futures are traded. A highly rated growth stock, CME Group had its second-highest-volume month ever in September; it averaged 15.7 million contracts per day, up 18% from year-ago levels, and up 44% from the previous month.
As a major counterparty for credit default swaps (CDS), Lehman Brothers' collapse has led to a call for more transparency for the derivatives, which are traditionally traded over-the-counter. In order to provide a more formal and regulated exchange, CME Group announced that it will partner with Citadel Investment Group to create a CDS platform. Exchange competitor InterContinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE ) said it will develop its own platform as well, in hopes of capturing a piece of the market that has fueled Wall Street's current nightmare scenario.
A report earlier in the year from BusinessWeek also ranked CME Group among companies like Google and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) as a top 50 best performing company in the S&P 500, using criteria like average return on capital and growth over the past 36 months. Many CAPS members agree that CME is a good bet, since more than 93% of the 654 players rating the company believe it will outperform the market.
Royal Gold
The recent bailouts and added money from the government have raised the spectre of inflation once again, and many investors have taken the recent government actions as simply one more reason to invest in gold or gold producers. Royal Gold acquires and manages interests in gold mining properties of other companies, generating strong cash flow from royalties, and maintaining high margins by avoiding the rising cost structures that miners are experiencing in the current environment.
Royal Gold has a business model similar to Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW ) , but without taking delivery of the physical metals. The company also helps out miners by providing a means to capital that could be used for debt or funding other projects in a tight credit market. For instance, Royal Gold recently paid $150 million to Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX ) in exchange for a royalty portfolio consisting of 72 properties at various stages.
Royalty revenue has risen sharply for Royal Gold, and its fiscal fourth-quarter profit jumped 39% to $7.9 million, from $5.7 million a year ago. The recent volatility in gold prices has some investors uncertain about future growth for Royal Gold, but more than 90% of the 276 CAPS members rating the company still expect it to outperform the market.

Of course, you almost can't help but grow elderberry. It comes up weedy all over the yard. It's pretty in flower, so sometimes I forgive myself for not yanking it out of the ground as soon as I see it.
I occasionally eat the berries when they are ripe, just to see. I find they range from awful to almost good. Maybe it's my mood, maybe it's variability in the plants.
But this ambiguous reaction seems to always attend the consumption of elderberries. It's worth remembering that there are many different species and races of elderberry, each with its own qualities and each native to different parts of the globe.
Our elderberries are significantly different from the elderberries of Europe and the Western U.S., and perhaps even different from those in New England. Most recipes were originally designed with the European elderberry in mind.
I honestly don't know whether that means ours are better or worse for eating. Next time I have a chance to consume a California or a European elderberry, I'll tell you what I think.
Another thing about elderberries: Almost every part of the plant except for the very ripe fruits is poisonous enough to do real damage. The same, of course, can be said of tomatoes or cherries or any number of other plants whose fruits we eat without a second thought. But I reckon if you're going to take a chance on eating the fruit of a poisonous plant, it should unequivocally knock your socks off. At present, the best I can say about eating fresh elderberries is that I didn't die from doing so.
Some people get a little bit of a stomachache when they eat several handfuls of fresh elderberry fruit, I hear. I suspect this isn't really the result of any serious toxic compounds, and it's worth noting that I've gotten a really serious stomachache from eating too many figs. But it may be wise not to eat so many fresh elderberries that you test out that claim, and it's prudent to never eat fruit unless it is dead ripe or fully cooked.
I suspect that's why so much that is written about elderberries focuses on processed or cooked berries, in jellies, pies, wines, which activity seems to eliminate most of the toxic and anti-nutritive qualities (in fact, cooking appears to remove the toxic qualities even from the stems and flowers). I have never personally made any of these, but when I run out of better fruits to experiment with, I will certainly start working on elderberries and will report back to you.
Oh yeah, I guess I should say more about this Elderberry Festival. According to the information I have, they'll have the festival Sept. 5 at the Fairhope Museum of History, 24 N. Section St., and it'll be free. It's worth noting that there'll be demonstrations "but no sampling," according to the media information. Everyone's a little cautious about elderberries, it seems. For more information, call 251-929-1474.
A raised brick planter may not be the best place for thirsty hydrangeas. Put those same hydrangeas in a little shade with good soil and plenty of water at the right times, and you won't see the rust outbreak.
While we're at it, let me remind you that we are living on the Gulf Coast, and there's really no need to cover hydrangeas in winter as you would in such Far Northern areas as Michigan, New England or Atlanta! Bud damage from cold is rare here, and even when it does occur, it's concentrated at the tips of the plants, so most simply produce more buds lower down on the stem.
They are, therefore, nothing to worry about, unless you decide you want more or less tiger lilies. A large percentage of these bulbils, pressed into good soil, will form new plants that will eventually (oh, maybe, in four or five years) bloom. Most lilies don't produce these aboveground bulbils, which is why your yellow lily was not similarly "infested."
The momma tiger lilies will also create new lilies from the underground bulb. But oddly enough, most tiger lilies grown in gardens don't produce true seed. These tiger lily strains have a genetic abnormality that makes them sterile for normal sexual reproduction, but they seem to make up for it by cloning themselves asexually through bulbils and bulb offsets.
But be warned: The prolific tiger lily doesn't always play well with others. Many tiger lily strains -- particularly those gathered from other people's gardens -- carry a mosaic virus that infects and kills other types of lilies. The virus doesn't affect the tiger lily at all -- in fact, there's no way of knowing whether it is infected. But it can easily spread the disease to other lilies. If you want to grow tiger lilies that don't spread the infection, look for strains that have been USDA certified to be virus-free.
Interestingly enough, in central and south Florida, New Guinea impatiens are often grown during the cool and dry winter months, and old fashioned impatiens are grown during the hot, wet summer months. It's too cold to grow New Guineas over winter here, though you could make two plantings a year here, one in early March and the other in September. Just be prepared for the spring plantings to die in July, and the September plantings in December.
A new generation of New Guinea hybrids has performed better in some areas, but it remains to be seen how they do here. In general, it's best to stick with the tried and true impatiens, Impatiens walleriana.
As for your black worms -- I don't know of any caterpillars that specifically attack impatiens in large numbers. In my experience, impatiens rarely seem bothered by such pests (though they can be very susceptible to soil diseases). If you let any of those caterpillars get big enough to identify, take a snapshot and we'll try to figure out what it is.

Earth is one of the solar system's lucky survivors. Some planets weren't so fortunate. I&M Photo Galleries
By Michael West
Contributing Writer
(March 13, 2014) Following weeks of rumors, the sun admitted yesterday that the planets' orbits have changed over time and that our solar system once had more planets than it does today.
"Just a little redecorating," is how the sun's spokesperson Deborah Saule described it in a hastily-called press conference. "The sun wishes to reassure his many fans that he hasn't gone all Lindsay Lohan on them.The solar system is stable, and will stay that way for the foreseeable future."

SKAL International Phuket & South Thailand - Tourism & Travel Industry Association
SKAL Phuket & South Thailand. Skal International is a professional organisation of leaders from all branches of the travel and tourism industry. The aim of the club is to promote global tourism and friendship.
Skål is the only international organization which brings together all sectors of the travel and tourism industry. Representing the industry's managers and executives, Skål members meet at local, national and international level in an environment of friendship to discuss subjects of common interest.
The club's dinner meetings, usually held on the third Thursday of each month, offer members a venue for networking and discussion. Most meetings feature a presentation by a notable speaker or member of the business community.
Check out the event page: http://www.skalphuket.org/events.html
The first Club was founded in Paris in 1932 by travel trade managers who had been on an educational tour of Scandinavia and so the idea of professionals in travel and tourism working closely together in a spirit of friendship was born. The idea of professionalism and international friendship became immediately so popular that in l934, Skål achieved international status with the formation of the Association Internationale des Skål Clubs (A.I.S.C.), on the initiative of the first President of the Paris Skål Club and the man considered the "Father of Skål", Florimond Volckaert. The Association is now known worldwide as "Skål International".
From that modest beginning, Skål now numbers almost 25,000 members in over 500 Clubs spread throughout more than 80 countries. As in other associations of professionals most Skål activities take place locally, but the movement also features National and Area Committees under the umbrella of Skål International, which has its permanent General Secretariat in Torremolinos, Spain.
Skål International is governed by an Executive Committee of seven members, elected by member delegates to the General Assembly, which is held in conjunction with the World Congress. The General Secretariat is the management body. This five-day Congress is hosted by a different country each year, thus offering members and their companions the opportunity of observing, at first hand, the travel and tourism industry potential of other countries.

Even before the viewing for former Hudson County freeholder Maurice Fitzgibbons began, Lawton Turso Funeral Home in Hoboken was packed.
Hundreds of people from all over the county have already come to say goodbye to the lifelong Hoboken resident, 57, who died Sunday evening surrounded by family members after spending a week at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
A five-term Hudson County freeholder, the "larger-than-life" Hoboken native played numerous roles in his community, ranging from promoting the immensely popular St. Ann's Italian Festival to serving on the State Council on the Arts.
Fitzgibbons's brother Jude and cousin Anthony greeted visitors as they came in, shaking hands and embracing dear friends.
Behind them was a wall with political buttons Fitzgibbons wore endorsing various democratic candidates including Senator Robert Menendez, former Vice President Al Gore and - as an inside joke - Buckwheat from "Little Rascals."
"Buckwheat," Fitzgibbons's relative said, is the childhood nickname of City Clerk Jimmy Farina, who was close to Jude and Maurice Fitzgibbons. In fact, a picture of Fitzgibbons and Farina is taped onto the posterboard above the rest of the buttons.
The poster also had a brochure for Keansburg Amusement Park and Runaway Rapids Water Park, where Fitzgibbons's family said they spent every summer.
"It's a great loss. Everybody's feeling it. We're in shock," said his cousin, Hoboken Board of Education member Frances Kearns on Monday. "He will be sorely missed."
Kerns said their large family was very close. "The cousins in my family are more like brothers and sisters," she said. "We all lived together in the summers down the shore."
As visitors greeted each other and offered their condolences, the viewing became a sort of reunion for the close-knit city.
Several prominent figures including Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio made appearances at the viewing. Among those also paying their respects this afternoon were mayors Jerramiah Healy of Jersey City, Richard Turner of Weehawken and Mark Smith of Bayonne; Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, Assemblyman Jason O'Donnell, Rep. Albio Sires and U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez.

Looking to gift a gardener? Think green.
It's already December. How did that happen? Holidays and celebrations are fast approaching. If you're searching for just the right green, economical or resource conserving gift for a gardener, here are a few ideas.
Why not take time to write a check (whether it be tiny or large) to a local food bank. People in Kitsap who have never had to ask for assistance in their lives are now hungry because of worldwide (and local) events that have possibly touched every one of us. It's amazing what our local food banks can provide for the hungry with donations of just $5, $10 or $15. A donation in your loved one's name will be a gift that gives back multiple times.
Kitsap County has many parks and preserves, all would welcome a donation of any amount. They are often the first hit with reductions of funding and resources in tough times. Just a few of these are: Stillwaters Environmental Learning Center (Kingston); Bloedel Reserve (Bainbridge Island); IslandWood (Bainbridge Island); Kitsap County Parks and Recreation; Poulsbo Parks and Recreation (Fish Park & Centennial Park); City of Bremerton Parks; City of Port Orchard Parks; and City of Bainbridge Island Parks. The parks in the county and cities are often maintained by grants and donations. Donations from the public count as matching funds for these grants. It is actually amazing what these parks departments manage to provide to the public for free. In tough economic times every penny they receive in donations counts and helps.
How about the gift of your time given to a beloved gardener friend or family member? It doesn't cost anything to help someone weed, plant or construct items for a garden. Maybe you even have a much coveted plant in your garden. Your friend or family member lusts after the plant, and it turns out the plant is able to be divided and shared? Dig, divide, pot it up and decorate the container with a lovely ribbon and gift it to him/her.
Think recycling, too. Haunt local thrift stores for decorative containers. Add a bag of bulbs, a bag of homemade compost or potting soil, some seed packets or any combination of low-cost gardening accoutrements. Remember to check out the hardware and tools often found at thrift stores. These are often a treasure trove of items any gardener would welcome.
Avoid the crowds and stay at home creating one-of-a-kind items for your favorite gardener. If you sew, make a gardening apron or hat. Paint? How about a small art print of a plant, flower or vegetable? Compose a gardening poem; hand written on a lovely piece of paper and framed. Your writing isn't too sharp? It's amazing what computers and a little ingenuity can create for a gardening gift. Let your imagination run free. Even photographs of plants or gardening times shared would make a lovely framed gift.
If you do have some discretionary funds this holiday season and the previous ideas don't strike your fancy, visit our many locally owned nurseries and bookstores and pick up a gift certificate. Gardeners love to receive gift certificates and you'll be helping sustain local businesses.

Whilst we may marvel at the long or high jumping abilities of our top Olympic athletes, their prowess is overshadowed by some of the animal kingdom's really big jumpers.
Here's a selection of 10 of the world's best jumpers.
Bharal live in the Himalayas and are one of the best jumpers among animals. They're adapted to jump from cliff to cliff and hill to hill.
Hares are one of fastest animals which have great ability to jump. They can run up to 72 km/hr, hard to get caught by predators.
Red Kangaroo
Red Kangaroos are the fastest jumpers among all mammals. They can jump with speed up to 56 km/hr.
Watch a fascinating video of a working kangaroo mum in our Animals A-Z section.
Klipspringer are around 1.5 m tall and can jump 10 times their own body height. They are highest jumper among all mammals compared to body size.
Grasshoppers can jump 20 times their own body length. Imagine a person who can jump as long as basketball court.
The Kangaroo Rat
The Kangaroo Rat can jump 45 times its own body length. They are longest jumper among all mammals compared to body size.
Froghoppers can jump 70 times their body height. They're the 2nd highest jumper among animals compared to body size. However, froghoppers generate the most force per body weight of any animal when jumping - more than 400 times their body weight. They initially accelerate at 4,000 metres per second and in a millisecond reach a take-off velocity of four metres per second.
Jumping Spider
The Jumping Spider can jump 100 times its own body length. Imagine a person who can jump as long as 2 jumbo jets.
Tree Frog
Tree Frogs can jump 150 times their own body length. They are 2nd longest jumping among animals compared to body size.
Find out why stone frogs are commonly kept in gardens in Scotland in our Animals A-Z section.
It is usually claimed that the best jumper in the world is the Flea. They are longest and highest jumper among animals compared to body size. Fleas can jump 220 times their own body length and 150 times their own body height. If we were to scale up a flea to our size it would be like us jumping nearly 400m in distance whilst jumping over a 250m high building! Now that's a big jump!

Local Economy, vol. 26, 2011, p. 625-725
Localism and its close relative, the 'Big Society' have become a central part of the lexicon of the coalition government since it came to power in May 2010. Coalition government rhetoric puts great stress on the need to decentralise power to local government and local communities (localism), which, in turn, will help build the 'Big Society' of engaged local communities and individuals. This special issue brings together a range of contributions looking at localism from a number of perspectives, including: 1) the pitfalls of paying local service providers by results; 2) tensions in central-local government relations arising from spending cuts; 3) difficulties for government of reconciling the forces of devolution and localism with political accountability and public expectations; 4) the drive towards community ownership of local facilities; and 5) radical changes to the institutions of local economic development in England.

DES MOINES - The city of Council Bluffs may be forced to levy a special tax to pay two men who claim the city and two police officers targeted them for the murder of a retired white police captain because of their race.
Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee, both of Omaha, Neb., filed a lawsuit against the city after they were sentenced to life in prison in 1978 for a murder conviction. The men, both black, were accused of killing John Schweer, a retired police captain. Harrington and McGhee were freed in 2003 when the Iowa Supreme Court found prosecutors committed misconduct by concealing evidence of another possible suspect.
Pottawattamie County later agreed to pay $12 million to settle claims against two former prosecutors, but did not admit wrongdoing. That settlement did not resolve claims against Council Bluffs and former police detectives Dan Larsen and Lyle Brown.
The trial in U.S. District Court in Des Moines began Nov. 1, and jurors likely will begin deliberations later this week or early next week.
Schweer was working as a security guard for local car dealerships, and the two Nebraska men say the detectives used threats against a group of young car theft suspects, all black, to trump up evidence, targeting them because of their race.
Harrington is seeking more than $60 million and McGhee more than $50 million.
Council Bluffs had insurance policies to cover against lawsuits and other liabilities, but courts have held that policies from two of the city's insurers contained exclusions that relieved them from paying obligations.
Without coverage, the city will be responsible for paying if jurors return a verdict against the city. State law allows cities to impose a special tax to raise enough money to pay such judgments.
City officials and attorneys involved declined to discuss the potential tax liability or how the city would proceed if a judgment is returned against it.
The city appealed the case involving two insurers to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Arguments are set for Dec. 12 in St. Paul, Minn.
Lorraine May, a Des Moines appellate attorney who will argue for Council Bluffs before the appeals court, also said she could not discuss pending litigation.
In a separate case, the appeals court in May upheld a federal judge's ruling that Genesis Insurance Co. was not obligated to pay Council Bluffs because McGhee and Harrington were charged in 1977 but the policies were in effect in 2002 and 2003, which means the liability did not occur within the policy's coverage period.
City Attorney Richard Wade declined to comment on the lawsuit against the city or the insurance issue and referred questions to Council Bluffs attorney Mike Sciortino, who also said he wouldn't comment.
"I haven't made any comment on this case since it started and I really don't want to make one now for a lot of different reasons," Mayor Tom Hanafan said of Harrigton and McGhee's case.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- After two decades in the New York State Senate, Republican Sen. John DeFrancisco's district would change from a Syracuse-based seat into one covering all of Onondaga County's western towns and into Cayuga County, according to a redistricting proposal released today.
Sen. David Valesky, D-Oneida, would inherit much of Syracuse and keep his Madison County base under the same proposal.
The proposed changes suggest that Senate Republicans, who control the upper house and its redistricting, feel that DeFrancisco's status as a veteran, conservative lawmaker can win a newly drawn seat.
At the same time, Valesky's new territory will probably include a greater percentage of Democrats, a sign that his exit from the Senate's Democratic Conference to join an independent caucus did not make him a target in redistricting.
It appears the Republican-controlled Senate drew a tight circle around DeFrancisco's Sedgewick neighborhood so he would not have to move to run in the new suburbs-based district.
"It sure looks that way," DeFrancisco said.
» See maps of the proposed Senate and Assembly districts
The city of Auburn would change senators under the proposal. Valesky would no longer represent part of the city, and instead DeFrancisco would pick up a larger chunk.
Currently, Sen. Michael Nozzolio, R-Fayette, represents most of Auburn.
In the Assembly, freshman Don Miller, R-Clay, would retain much of his district in eastern and southern Onondaga County. Miller won in an upset in 2010, ousting incumbent Al Stirpe, a Democrat.
Under the proposed changes, Miller's district would retain Clay, Cicero, Manlius and Pompey. He would pick up Tully and Fabius.
Stirpe has not said whether he would challenge Miller to a re-match this year. But Stirpe, who lives in Cicero, did hold a fundraiser late last year.
But Republican Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney of New Hartford, who now represents Oneida County and eastern Oswego County, faces the prospect of having to run against Republican Assemblyman Peter Lopez of Schoharie if she wants to remain in office. Her district would no longer include any part of Oswego County.
Assemblyman Gary Finch, R-Springport, would pick up all of Onondaga County's western towns, including Edlbridge, Camillus, Skaneateles, Marcellus, Spafford, Otisco and LaFayette.
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, R-Canandaigua, would no longer represent part of southern Onondaga County.
But Kolb is not ready to concede the towns of Spafford, Otisco, Tully and Fabius yet.
"After having been through this 10 years ago, there's a long way to go before we can say 'here's the maps,' " he said. "Who knows whether these are the real maps or not until the very end."
In the Senate, DeFrancisco would retain two slivers of Syracuse's north side, where he lives. But his district would fan out to the northwest. He would pick up the towns that ring all but the southeast side of Syracuse: from DeWitt and Cicero in the northeast all the way around through Lysander and Elbridge around to Spafford, Otisco and Tully.
Additionally, DeFrancisco would pick up four towns in Cayuga County: Ira, Cato, Brutus and Sennett.
Overall, the Senate did add a controversial 63rd seat, a move Republicans say is supported by the state constitution while Democrats accuse them of trying to keep control of the upper house.
The plans include a new Senate seat in Brooklyn that consolidates the Orthodox Jewish community. The Senate plan also includes a Queens seat that would likely be won by an Asian-American, a first for the Senate.
Public hearings on the proposed districts will begin in Albany on Monday.
Common Cause/NY Executive Director Susan Lerner said, "Overall, these maps appear to continue the long tradition of partisan gerrymandering we've come to expect. There are major demographic changes that are simply not reflected on these maps."
The state Legislature must also redraw districts for the U.S. Congress. Those maps are expected in a few weeks.

The heck of it is, all of these steps are readily do-able (except the on-site referees). There is a device called the Time Machine (www.expandedspectrumsystems.com), which can record an 80 KHz swath of any HF band, and costs only about $175. Station a dozen of those around the world, recording on VHS tape, with good receivers and omni antennas, and you can go back to any point in the contest to check what was going on at any frequency. A recording, whether on tape or on computer disk, isn't an unreasonable requirement from anyone with a claimed top-ten score in any major category. Contest sponsors should publicly announce that they will apply and enforce the sort of analysis that K1TTT has been doing publicly for years. If falsified spots turn up, clearly to the benefit of a given station, that station owner should be asked to explain, and if the explanation doesn't hold water, he should be DQ'ed. The key to confronting the cheaters is to do it publicly and transparently, with stiff penalties. 73, Pete N4ZR At 12:39 AM 12/9/2007, Jim Neiger wrote:... >We can all continue to shine it on, or do something about it.

Ben Bernanke's Fed surprised the vast majority of investors Wednesday when the FOMC decided not to begin tapering the stimulus being provided to the economy via the monthly purchase of $85 billion in bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
The move came as a surprise because "Gentle Ben" has been "talking taper" since May. And since May, both the bond and stock markets have spent the vast majority of their days trying to come to grips with what "the taper" would mean.
But at the end of the day Wednesday, all the consternation associated with "the taper" had gone for naught. Sure, Bernanke made it clear that his Fed (well, until January that is) could begin cutting back on the QE program at any time. However, at this point in time, Bernanke said that the FOMC did not feel the economic data was in line with what the FOMC needed to see in order to justify a reduction in their quantitative easing efforts.
Apparently the key to the decision was the "tightening of financial conditions seen in recent months." In English, this refers to the dramatic rise in interest rates that has occurred since the Fed chairman first broached the idea of tapering the expenditures on QE. The chart below of the yield on the 10-year makes this point pretty clear.
This Is What "Tightening Financial Conditions" Look Like
What is ironic here is the simple fact that the move up in bond yields was in direct response to Bernanke "talking taper." While the Fed has been adamant that tapering isn't the same as tightening, bond traders didn't buy into the argument. When asked about this issue at the press conference following the FOMC announcement, Mr. Bernanke said that the Fed tried to communicate its outlook for monetary policy as clearly as possible. However, the chart of the 10-year would seem to suggest that the Bernanke gang has failed miserably on this count.
While rates were artificially low in early May and thus had plenty of room to move up without impacting the economy, the fact that the yield on the 10-year nearly doubled after talk of tapering began hasn't gone unnoticed in the mortgage market. The NAHB Homebuilder Confidence report confirmed this on Tuesday as NAHB Chairman Rick Judson wrote, "Many [builders] are reporting some hesitancy on the part of buyers due to the sharp increase in interest rates." Therefore, it is a safe bet that at least a portion of the decision to not start tapering the QE program was out of concern over what higher rates might do to the housing market.
Erring on the Side of Caution - Still
According to the surveys, the majority of economists expected the Fed to begin tapering their $85 billion per month bond buying program. Yet, if one had been paying attention to the economic data of late, this wasn't exactly a layup call.
While the Fed has told us that they are targeting an unemployment rate of 6.5% before they would take action on rates, a great many economic reports have come in on the punk side recently. As such, it wasn't exactly a surprise to see Mr. Bernanke decide to err on the side of caution again.
If you will recall, Ben Bernanke is one of the foremost experts on the Great Depression. Furthermore, the Fed Chairman has often expressed the view that he wants to make darn sure the U.S. does not fall into the deflationary spiral that has plagued Japan for nearly 25 years. Anyone who has studied economic history knows that once deflation grows roots in an economy it can be very difficult to eradicate.
So, with the economic data looking less than inspiring lately and his term coming to an end in just a few months, it is a decent bet that Bernanke convinced his fellow committee members to stay the course on the QE program just in case.
Although Janet Yellen has been a key player in the development of current Fed policy, the bottom line is no one can be sure what next year's Fed will look like. Some have argued that the 2014 FOMC will have a much more "hawkish" roster and as such, Bernanke may be looking to squeeze every last drop of stimulus into the economy before he departs. After all, they don't call him "Helicopter Ben" for nothing!

Build backlinks: ideas on how to get Google backlinks using Twitter
As I've told you before, I use a special Twitter application called MarketMeSuite to manage my social media accounts.
One unique feature of MarketMeSuite is that it lets you "brand your tweets."
These customizable links go out in every tweet you send through MarketMeSuite. In turn, all these Twitter-links get noticed by Google.
And the more of these backlinks you have, the more important Google thinks your website is.
All that adds up to your site making it to Google's first page that much faster!
A NEW article provides a checklist for using Twitter and Facebook for Google SEO purposes. This expert on search engine marketing suggests, among other things, that "tweets can influence [Google] rankings (possibly) more than links!"
She reminds readers to use URL shoteners that create a "301 redirect" with your link, so you won't lose any of the precious "link juice" that points searchers (and Google) to your page.
Twitter marketing ROI: ideas for measuring social media ROI
Marketing on Facebook and Twitter is gaining in popularity, but remains a hard sell to company "suits" because return on investment (ROI) is still difficult to measure.
Here are three new articles from Terametric.com about advances in measuring Twitter ROI:
• "3 Simple Twitter Marketing Rules That Will Increase your ROI"
Kyle Lacy, Principal of MindFrame and author of the book, "Twitter Marketing for Dummies"and Terametric webinar panelist on "How to Measure and Maximize Twitter marketing ROI,"shared the ratio for effective balance of Twitter conversation, marketing, and sharing for social media.
These were:
Share your content, share partner content and share industry content evenly.
• "2 Reasons Why Twitter Marketing ROI is More Difficult to Measure than Facebook Marketing ROI"
Why using a free Twitter dashboard like TweetDeck may not be right for you (video)
I know a lot of heavy Twitter users rely on free social media management applications like TweetDeck or HootSuite.
However, I switched to a premium app last year and highly recommend it. I tried using TweetDeck, but because so many other people use it, too (after all: it's free!) I just couldn't rely on it. If you monitor conversations on Twitter, you'll see complaints about TweetDeck every day.
(And HootSuite has already launched a paid premium version of their service; paid services are the way of the future if these developers ever hope to make a return on their investments.)
Anyway, MarketMeSuite has just released some user stats, to give you an idea of how popular it is getting:
"The subscription-only service, which enables subscribers to manage their marketing campaigns on Twitter and Facebook from an intuitive desktop application, has seen growth top 500% in the last 6 months and is currently growing by 30% month on month.
Political Twitter: top Twitter political influencers of 2010
Twitter is a great political campaign tool, especially when used with Twitter management software that lets you run geo-targeted, local campaigns. (And you know what they say: "All politics is local"!)
Previously, for example, I shared a case study here about how to use Twitter as part of a political or public policy campaign.
Which politicians were the winners and losers on Twitter in 2010?
According to Twitter reputation management experts Klout.com:
"When it comes to influence in 2010, Las Vegas and U.S. Sen. Harry Reid had it.
"The city and the Senate majority leader made separate top 10 social media lists put together by a California-based company called Klout, which analyzed Twitter feeds from last year. (…)
"Reid came in No. 7 on the top 10 list of most influential politicians who were the topic of tweets.
Geo-targeting, crowd sourcing and Twitter: a case study
Via the trendwatchers at Springwise comes this cool example of how people are using Twitter:
"DJs, promoters, label reps and 'professional party people' from the Netherlands have persuaded Dutch airline KLM to add an extra flight to its roster.
"In a new twist on crowd-buying, the initiators of Fly2Miami made a bet with KLM on Twitter to organize a non-stop flight from Amsterdam to Miami.
"If Fly2Miami could get 351 seats reserved before December 6th, KLM would add a flight to its schedule on 21 March 2011, specifically for people attending the Ultra Music Festival and related parties.
"The initiative was prompted by a Dutch filmmaker tweeting about the lack of a direct flight from Amsterdam to Miami, a query that the airline's Twitter team rapidly responded to with a wager.
"Exceeding everyone's expectations, the flight was fully booked within five hours.
Geo-targeting: local marketing ideas for small business, using Twitter
Here's an excerpt from a must-read article by Tammy Fennel, of MarketMeSuite.
MarketMeSuite is my favorite Twitter client and social media account manager.
MarketMeSuite is the smart alternative to similar apps like TweetDeck. MarketMeSuite has lots of great features, and just one of these lets you find Twitter users in a particular area.
This is great for small businesses trying to generate buzz, and revenue, in their area.
For example, this feature is ideal for theatre owners and concert promoters, restaurants, real estate agents — the possibilities are endless.
Keep reading for a special VERY limited time offer from MarketMeSuite.
But first, here's one of Tammy Fennel's case studies about how to use MarketMeSuite for geo-targeting and local marketing:
"…what IS geo and niche-targeting?
"In basis, it is a clever algorithm which will find users near you who are talking about keywords associated with your geo-target marketing campaign. Let's look at two people who are using it right now.
How to choose and manage secure passwords
Every day brings a scary new story about online subscribers, commenters and shoppers getting their "secret" passwords stolen, and even exposed to the world.
In an embarrassing development, some users who consider themselves internet savvy were hardest hit in late 2010:
Readers of Gizmodo, Lifehacker and other Gawker Media sites may be among the savviest on the Web, but the most common password for logging into those sites is embarrassingly easy to guess: "123456." So is the runner-up: "password.
Choosing and managing safe, secure passwords seems like a pain, but it is easier than you might think.
How to get lifetime access to my favorite Twitter tool — for a one-time only price
A short time ago, MarketMeSuite — see how much I like this Twitter tool here and here — announced they were no longer offering their greatest deal: the $99 Lifetime membership.
Today they announced that they're bringing it back, for a very limited time.
I bought a Lifetime membership to MarketMeSuite a long time ago.
I switched to MarketMeSuite after using its free rival, TweetDeck; unfortunately, TweetDeck kept crashing on me during the World Cup, with Twitter traffic was at a high. I use Twitter for business, and literally can't afford to use a Twitter client that isn't reliable.
With everything from Black Friday to the Royal Wedding coming up, I expect users of (free) TweetDeck will experience more outages. Meanwhile, I'll be happily staying on top of everything with MarketMeSuite.
If you've used HootSuite or TweetDeck, then the MarketMeSuite interface will seem very familiar to you, except it has more features.
Twitter Analytics: is a free tool to measure your Twitter stats finally on the way?
Anyone who uses Twitter for business wishes Twitter offered a way to see their stats: how to see which tweets were the most popular, for instance — and unpopular, like the tweets that made people unsubscribe.
We're all used to having statistics about our blogs and websites at our fingertips. We use these statistics to see who has linked to us, what keywords people used to find our site and lots more.
Now it looks like Twitter is getting ready to offer similar statistics for our Twitter accounts and streams.
Twitter has invited a select group of users to try out the new 'Analytics' feature. The feature is now in beta testing. No word on when this free tool will be available to every Twitter user.
Twitter testing a new 'Directory' tab, to make it easy to find people to follow
If you among a select group of Twitter users, there's a new "Directory" tab your official Twitter.com account page.
You'll see it right after the "Profile" and "Messages" tabs at the top of the page.
This Directory functions a lot like the "Who to Follow" function you've already been using.
However, it makes it easier to search for new followers in a more targeted fashion.
Here's more from MediaBistro's "All Twitter" blog:
In addition to suggestions, you can also "Browse Interests", finding new people to follow based on the topics that they tweet about. For example, clicking on "Technology" brings me to a list of 60 suggested accounts that are tech-based, including Bill Gates, Kevin Rose, and BBCClick.
The Directory tab also gives you the option to find Twitter accounts that you are already connected with on Gmail, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Hotmail/Messenger.

Lt. Marcus Mahan said the incident began this morning around 6:55 a.m. with a breaking and entering that turned into a foot chase in the area around Ballenger Court Apartments.
"The man shot at the officer and the officer returned fire," said Mahan. Several shots were exchanged between the suspect and officer.
The suspect is in critical condition at Hurley Medical Center. Mahan did not say where the man was struck. The officer was not struck during the shooting.
Police were still roping off areas around the scene this afternoon, with shell casings found in the area, and the case remains under investigation.

The Kenston girls basketball team clinched its third straight Chagrin Valley Conference Chagrin Division title with a 59-45 victory over Aurora on Saturday in Aurora.
The Bombers have won four of the past five division titles as coach Kevin Hinkle was proud of his girls.
"There is a lot of parity in the league so we have to play every night," Hinkle said. "I'm extremely happy for our girls who have bust their butts all year."
The Bombers took care of things against the Greenmen right off the bat as Kenston (13-5, 8-1) outscored Aurora, 17-8, in the first quarter and led, 36-17, at halftime.
"We had a very good first half and a big second quarter," Hinkle said. "Our pressure got to them. We went on a spurt and they got on their heels."
Grace Moran led Kenston with 13 points followed by Tess Ferguson with 11, Catherine Rachek with 10 and Mandy Marchant with nine.
The Bombers are playing great defensively, but Hinkle's not satisfied.
"I think we can get better defensively," Hinkle said. "We're still working on our full-court pressure, but we also want to continue to be sound in the half court. We could see some very athletic teams in the tournament. Defense, that's our staple."
Kenston is the No. 5 seed in the Division I district at Bedford. The Bombers will face John Adams in a sectional semifinal on Feb. 18 at Bedford High School. If the Bombers win, they'll advance to a sectional final against Shaker Heights on Feb. 25 at Bedford High School.
"To be honest, now's the time to start working on things," Hinkle said. "We may add something on offense or defense. We're getting ready for the tournament."
Kenston moved up to Division I after being in Division II where the Bombers reached two straight district finals.
Before the tournament, however, Kenston must face rival West Geauga at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at West Geauga High School. It is Kenston's last regular season game.
"West G always plays well at home," Hinkle said. "We have to be ready to play."

|[TowerTalk] Ginpole for 20 foot sections

Steve, you are "half" right. The lift effort is part of the overall load on the ginpole (everyone forgets this), so without any mechanical advantage there is 2X load weight applied to the ginpole. If you employ a 3:1 advantage, and thereby reduce the lift force needed, you decrease the overall force on the ginpole. 73 Mike N2MG On Wed, 13 June 2001, email@example.com wrote: > In a message dated 6/12/01 11:45:50 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > firstname.lastname@example.com writes: > > > A 3:1 mechanical advantage block and tackle system does, indeed, relieve > > about 1/3 of the load on the gin pole, in addition to reducing the number > of > > bodies required on the pull rope. > > You sure?

For Staten Islanders who are hitting the road today, here's a quick look at what to expect out there this morning.
Here on Staten Island, the ride to our three New Jersey-bound bridges is clear -- as always -- and there are no issues to report at any of the bridges. If you're heading towards Brooklyn, however, it's a different story. Traffic on the eastern spur of the Staten Island Expressway is backed up from the Verrazano Bridge to Todt Hill Road, and once you've crossed the span it doesn't get much better.
Traffic on the Gowanus/B.Q.E is heavy from 38th Street to Hamilton Avenue, and there's heavy traffic at all of the East River crossings, but no major delays to speak of.
Over in New Jersey you're facing a broken-down car blocking one lane at the I-95/I-80 merge, which is going to foul up your approach to the George Washington Bridge, which is now a 30-minute delay. You're also looking at a 30-minute wait at the Lincoln Tunnel and 20 at the Holland. You also need to watch for heavy traffic at the I-95/I-78 interchange and again at the exit for 495.
Alright, that covers it for now, but if you're seeing something we're not, leave a comment below and help out a fellow commuter. Until tomorrow, enjoy the ride.

In the tradition of the early craftsmen of the legendary Bates Fabrics' candlewick and matelasse bedspread line, workers at Maine Heritage Weavers continue to weave and finish bedspreads loomed for beauty with the quality and durability of an heirloom.
With the exception of the rib cord bedspreads, each product sold by Bates Mill Store is proudly 100% manufactured in the United States by skilled craftsmen. (The rib cord bedspreads are imported.) The mill is located in Lewiston, Maine, on the banks of the Androscoggin River.
"The Bates Mill has been part of the Lewiston, Maine, community since 1853. Lewiston culture is still greatly impacted by the Bates Mill, even all these years later."

I weighed him today out of curiosity (my mom has a baby scale) and he was right around 9 lbs! We've only had to suppliment twice since he's been home so I feel pretty good about that. I just wanted to thank everyone for the support I had here when I needed it

Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund: Your gift to others | In Our Opinion
If you gave to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund in 2012, you made a big difference in someone's life — possibly someone you know.
Since its inception in 1946, the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund has helped provide food, emergency shelter and emergency financial assistance to North Kitsap residents in need. There is no overhead; every penny goes back into the community, according to John Macdonald, co-chairman of the fund.
In 2012, the fund assisted more than 300 local families.
In 2012, the fund ensured 100 local families had food for the Christmas holiday.
In 2012, money distributed by the fund to North Kitsap Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul Society enabled those organizations to help local families avoid eviction and keep their utilities from being shut off, and get emergency transportation to medical appointments and work.
In 2012, despite economic insecurity amid talk of sequestration, North Kitsap residents dug deep and gave what they could; some gave $5, some gave more. But the donations added up — combined, you gave a remarkable $28,846.
Because of money raised by the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund, "We're able to stretch what we're doing for people in crisis — whether it's paying rent, mortgage, or utilities," said Rae Rodriguez, Fishline's client services manager. "It used to be that folks would come in because of an issue, now it's because of multiple issues. We've been in crisis mode for a couple of years, and we've probably tripled our client load since then."
Organizations like North Kitsap Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul Society are coming up with creative solutions to help people meet their basic needs. Fishline, for example, has a home share program, where it matches people who need a place to live with people who need help with their mortgage. It also connects clients looking for work with companies and job service providers. But to meet immediate needs, like food and shelter, Fishline and the others make good use of the money donated to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund.
Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul are a critical part of the safety net in North Kitsap. They are there for you and your family — and your fellow community members — when needed. Contribute to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund and keep the safety net strong. (Consider it a holiday gift to yourself — you make a difference in the community, and you get a tax deduction).
Donations can be delivered to the North Kitsap Herald, 19351 8th Ave., Suite 106, Poulsbo, or mailed to P.O. Box 1244, Poulsbo, WA. 98370. Donors' names will be published each week in the Herald.
