|Teddy is a large, neutered male who is approximately 10 years old. He was last seen in my yard on Tuesday 11/10/15 at 1394 Shadow Mountain Ln, Blue Ridge, VA. Teddy is fat and has a very saggy belly and has a small, white spot on his chest. If Teddy has been outside without food, he will not be fat, but his belly will certainly be saggier. Teddy is a very skittish, and shy cat. Food will lure him and make him purr. Teddy is very special to me, and as all pets are to their owners, I want him back. If you have any information on Teddy, whether it be good or bad news, please let me know. I would rather learn that my Teddy died than to live the rest of my life wondering. $500.00 reward

|She's a gunmetal-gray almost silver adolescent cat, looks no older than maybe one and a half years. She has yellow eyes with dark gray lines from her nose to her eyes, paw pads, and a dark gray nose. Her tail is also a darker gray at the tip, if you look closely you can see a few stripes at the end (Very feint!). She cowers to mostly everything, mainly men and boots. She came back the first and second nights but got scared when I opened the door and bolted off into the darkness. She did not return last night. She was a rescue and has always meowed at the back door. I think she might have been an outdoor cat at one time in her life, but I don't care, she's an indoor kitty now and I just want her to come home.

What exactly is a Data Warehousing?
Data Warehousing is a means of getting one or many disparate Data sources into a central Database in a cleansed, granular and uniform format, which allows for rapid reporting of key information to benefit the business. There are two key areas to consider:Data Cleansing and ETL.
Data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data. Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis.
This definition of the data warehouse focuses on data storage. However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract, transform and load data, and to manage the data dictionary are also considered essential components of a data warehousing system. Many references to data warehousing use this broader context. Thus, an expanded definition for data warehousing includes business intelligence tools, tools to extract, transform, and load data into the repository, and tools to manage and retrieve metadata
Advantages of data warehousing
- A data warehouse provides a common data model for all data of interest
regardless of the data's source. This makes it easier to report and analyze
information than it would be if multiple data models were used to retrieve
information such as sales invoices, order receipts, general ledger charges,
- Prior to loading data into the data warehouse, inconsistencies are
identified and resolved. This greatly simplifies reporting and analysis.
- Information in the data warehouse is under the control of data warehouse
users so that, even if the source system data is purged over time, the
information in the warehouse can be stored safely for extended periods of
- Because they are separate from operational systems, data warehouses provide retrieval of data without slowing down
operational systems.
- Data warehouses can work in conjunction with and, hence, enhance the value
of operational business applications, notably customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
- Data warehouses facilitate decision support system applications such as
trend reports (e.g., the items with the most sales in a particular area
within the last two years), exception reports, and reports that show actual
performance versus goals.
- Data warehouses are not the optimal environment for unstructured data.
- Because data must be extracted, transformed and loaded into the warehouse,
there is an element of latency in data warehouse data.
- Over their life, data warehouses can have high costs. The data warehouse
is usually not static. Maintenance costs are high.
- Data warehouses can get outdated relatively quickly. There is a cost of
delivering suboptimal information to the organization.
- There is often a fine line between data warehouses and operational
systems. Duplicate, expensive functionality may be developed. Or,
functionality may be developed in the data warehouse that, in retrospect,
should have been developed in the operational systems and vice versa.
Disadvantages of data warehouses
Data Cleansing
It's one thing getting data into a central system, its quite another to get good data. The old adage "rubbish in , rubbish out"applys.
An important stage for any warehouse is getting clean and uniform data. Overlooked by many, it is vital that you have good data. A review of disparate source systems will almost always produce anomalies. These should be identified and a set of rules defined for the treatment of these. These rules can then be implemented and the data cleaned during the ETL process.
Extract Transform & Load
ETL is concerned with the implementation of an automated means of extracting, transforming and loading the source data into target tables. Again there are a wide range of ETL tools available for this purpose. ETL provides the means of treating the data

Lake Land College announces judge for Art Heritage Show
Posted on September 17, 2013
This year the judge for the annual Lake Land College Foundation Art Heritage Show is Ben Cohan, art instructor at Lake Land College.
I'm looking forward to seeing local talent on display," said Cohan. "To have a venue for local artists to be recognized is a very valuable thing. With these types of exhibits, community support is key, and I hope to see the community support our young artists as well as our more established artists. I am excited to see the work and get started."
Artists are still invited to enter their work, which will be displayed at the Virgil H. Judge Learning Resource Center on the Lake Land College campus throughout the month of October.
Artists interested in entering their work in this year's show should submit an entry form by Sept. 20 and then bring pieces to the Virgil H. Judge Learning Resource Center on the Lake Land College campus either on Tuesday, Sept. 24 from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. or Wednesday, Sept.25 from noon to 5:00 p.m. Please bring all work to the second floor commons area.
"There are so many factors to consider when assessing artwork," explained Cohan. "Looking for an attention-grabbing image or object is a good start. From there, technique, compositional choices and creative problem-solving are of interest to me. I think anyone looking at artwork enjoys being surprised, so I imagine I'll have some of those moments to look forward to, as well."
A reception for all exhibiting artists will be held Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013 in the Lake Land College Virgil H. Judge Learning Resource Center from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. Presentation of awards and individual critiques for artists who request them will take place during the reception.
Instructions to enter the competition are as follows: a $10 entry fee for each entry in the Professional and Amateur divisions and a $5 entry fee for each piece in the Student division are required at the time you submit your entry form. On the back of each entry, list the name of the artist, artwork title, division and either the asking price or "not-for-sale". All art work must be framed and wired for hanging on a hook. Failure to do so will disqualify the artwork from the show. Sculptures or other 3D pieces do not need to be wired for hanging. These entries will be placed in, on, or by a display case.
Monetary awards of $100, $50 and $25 will be given to first, second and third place winners in each of the three categories: Professional, Amateur and Student. One Best of Show in the Professional and Amateur Division combined will receive a $150 award. A Best of Show Award in the amount of $150 will also be awarded for the Student Division. The First National Bank of Mattoon will sponsor the Professional and Amateur Division, and the Prairie Field Folk Art and Craft Show will sponsor the Student Division. The Student Division is open to students in grades 6-12.
For more information or inquiries, please contact Dave Cox, director of alumni and foundation at 217-234-5376.
Cohan earned an associate degree in art from Lake Land College in 2004. He went onto Millikin University to complete a bachelor of fine arts, graduating in 2006. He received a master of fine arts from Southern Illinois University – Carbondale in 2009. At Lake Land, Cohan teaches painting, drawing and art history. He lives in Sullivan.

Brian Roberts Is Now King of the World
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Comcast
The $45.2 billion deal made public Wednesday will make Roberts the dominant player in the pay-TV market. If government regulators approve the transaction, Comcast will merge with Time Warner Cable
For Roberts, the deal that combines the two largest U.S. cable-TV providers is yet another step toward the unlikely ascendancy of the Philadelphia-based Comcast into one of the country's most influential media and entertainment companies. That Roberts outmaneuvered or simply outmuscled John Malone, the billionaire behind Charter Communications
"Brian Roberts' father should be very proud today," Leo Hindery, a private equity media investor and former CEO of Tele-Communications Inc., which merged with AT&T
Comcast started small as American Cable Systems, which Brian's father Ralph Roberts helped form in 1963 before changing its name six years later to combine the words "communication" and broadcast." While its focus was largely in the mid-Atlantic, the father-son combo audaciously acquired AT&T Broadband in 2001, catapulting Comcast into the lead among cable-TV providers.
Not content as pay-TV operators, the Roberts' made a hostile $66 billion bid in 2004 to acquire Disney
"They've been opportunistic but they've also been capable of unexpected moves such as this one," said SNL Kagan Senior Analyst Robin Flynn in a New York phone interview. "Comcast hasn't surprised investors in a negative sense -- they've really done what they told investors they would do."
In acquiring AT&T Broadband and Adelphia Communications in 2006, the Roberts' took two under-performing operations and improved their cash flow, Flynn said. If this latest deal is approved. Adelphia's holdings will be reunited after having been split between Comcast and Time Warner Cable when their founder John J. Rigas and his son Timothy, the company's onetime chief financial officer, were found guilty of conspiring to loot the cable television company of millions of dollars.

1992 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer SUV Tahoe 4dr SUV 4WD
I love my S10 Blazer. I bought it in 2002 with 76,000 miles and now has 250,000. Never fails to start even when -20+ degrees. It has plenty of power(4.3L TBI) and gets decent gas mileage 18mpg city 24mpg highway. It has typical Chevy rust as it is 18 yrs. old. The only thing I am not happy with is the electronic 4WD. vac.actuator switch went out and got fluid in vac.actuator. We manually pull cable to engage front Diff. and still use button on dash.What helps is to use 4X4 all year round (use when driving;gravel,yard,field)this helps system lubricate parts.
I think everything abt. my truck is great
4X4 electronic shift system. The vac.Actuator switch can go bad and allow tranny fluid to bleed into vac. system. Also, the electronic control module can seize up and it is very expensive. with all the smart people they could have thought of a better set up.all S10 push button are the same.
1992 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer SUV Tahoe 2dr SUV
I purchased a 92 s10 Blazer Tahoe, for my sons 15th b-day and it had 226,223 miles on it. Ran great surprisingly until an episode with the woods with a broken motor mount and the transmission kept on popping into neutral and eventually blew it up. But we dropped another 4.3 in it and this time we added some major modifications performance wise. But definitely dependable and he absolutely loves it!
how tough the the transmission is and the POWER it comes with. but this truck has incredible towing power.
the turn signal/ cruise/ wiper handle breaks often, and door handles go bad real fast.
i don't own this vehicle anymore but it was the best vehicle i've ever owned it never got stuck i beat on it alot and it prolly would still be running good if i didn't mud bog with it so much but over all i miss this vehicle alot
lightweight fourwheel drive it goes everywhere
starter wires are extremely hard to get at
I purchased this truck for $1000. It gave me very little trouble. (uv joints,some sensors) I recently had to pull the engine when it reached 229,814 miles. Yes that's the correct mileage. I went with a 1999-2000 model engine because they are factory with 240hp and that's great for when I pull my boat or my tools. This is a very well rounded truck/SUV. GM got this right so if you are looking for a good vehicle this is one of them!
Engine, drivetrain (700-R4 trans cant beat it), exterior design, cold weather performance.

Review: Romantic Comedy 'A Case Of You' Light, Sedate And Safe
Romantic comedy tends to always be in the category of 'what you see is what you get.' The star crossed lovers, quirky friends and offbeat character cameos are all staples of the genre that made duos like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan on-screen sensations. The new Justin Long penned flick "A Case of You" does have that same romantic tone between its leads, but the romantic formula enlisted is so familiar, so borrowed and so by the book that the natural couple chemistry is the only real element left keeping this love boat afloat.
Long plays struggling writer Sam, a novelist who is looking to create something more personal then the movie book adaptations he's been so successful at. Enter Evan Rachel Wood's Birdie, a local coffee shop girl with spark and spunk whom he becomes infatuated with. She's of course the opposite of him; vivacious, outgoing and honest to a fault. So he raids her online social networking info, studies it and emulates her interests. But being a very different person then the one he is projecting can he keep up the act?
"A Case of You" is not very complex nor an original idea (see any "Three's Company" episode!) and that's what stops the film from being anything more than an mildly enjoyable distraction. As would-be lovers, Long and his co-star Evan Rachel Wood do have a decent chemistry, but the staging by director Kat Coiro is unfortunately stoic at best. Thankfully, she also has a slew of high profile side characters like a wry Peter Dinklage, a sassy Sam Rockwell and a free loving Brendan Fraser, but again none manage to take the flick above the fluff level here.
I must admit I was a tad curious how Long's character was going to explain his Facebook stalking infatuation to a doe-eyed Wood in a way that didn't make him sound like Travis Bickle, but I forgot that in the predictable movie world all romantic crimes are eventually forgiven. Light, sedate and safe, "A Case Of You" is the cinematic equivalent of filling comfort food and goes down as such.
Title: "A Case Of You"
Stars: 3
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama
Cast: Justin Long, Evan Rachel Wood, Vince Vaughn
Director: Kat Coiro

State Reaches Agreement With Cardinal On Drug Trading Issues
Attorney General Spitzer today announced an agreement with Cardinal Health Inc. (Cardinal) to improve the safety and security of practices in the trading of prescription pharmaceuticals among wholesalers.
An investigation by the Attorney General's Office into the trading of pharmaceuticals on the "secondary market" determined that certain trading practices by wholesalers had the potential to compromise the security and safety of the national drug distribution system.
Cardinal -- based in Dublin, Ohio and ranked 19th on the Fortune 500 list of America's largest corporations -- is one of the three primary distributors of prescription drugs in the nation. Cardinal has cooperated with the Attorney General's Office throughout the investigation and unilaterally adopted certain reforms prior to and in the course of the Attorney General's investigation.
In today's settlement, Cardinal has agreed to adopt a set of Wholesaler Safe Product Practices that establish a new standard for the safe trading of pharmaceuticals and point the way forward for an industry that is vital to the health of Americans.
The investigation, which began in 2005 and is continuing with regard to other wholesalers, concerns trading practices in the secondary market for prescription pharmaceuticals. That is the market in which wholesalers trade drugs among themselves, after the drugs are sold by the manufacturer but before they are purchased by a pharmacy, hospital, or other end user. The wholesalers who sell drugs to other wholesalers are called alternate source vendors.
Secondary market trading is not illegal on its face, but can create opportunities for the introduction of unreliable drugs, including counterfeits, into the marketplace. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases of counterfeit drugs in the American supply chain. Secondary market trading also can create an opportunity for companies to divert drugs from their intended distribution channels. Diversion into the secondary market, often to take improper advantage of manufacturer discounts, can begin a series of trades from wholesaler to wholesaler that makes it difficult to trace the origin of a drug and impossible to ascertain its authenticity.
The investigation determined that Cardinal purchased drugs from certain alternate source vendors, despite risks associated with buying from those vendors, to take advantage of higher available profit margins. Cardinal also sold pharmaceuticals to certain customers even in the face of evidence that those customers may have been illegally diverting the drugs outside their intended channels of distribution.
Under the terms of today's settlement, Cardinal will adopt an innovative set of Wholesaler Safe Product Practices, and has agreed that it will not sell pharmaceuticals to another wholesaler unless that wholesaler also adopts that same set of practices. The Wholesaler Safe Product Practices are designed to ensure that a drug may not pass through the hands of more than two wholesalers after the manufacturer sells it and before it is bought by a pharmacy or other end user.
In addition to adopting the Wholesaler Safe Product Practices, Cardinal has agreed that in the regular course of its business it will:
- Buy pharmaceuticals directly from manufacturers and not on the secondary market from alternate source vendors;
- Sell pharmaceuticals only to wholesalers who have certified their compliance with the Wholesaler Safe Product Practices, and have agreed to allow audits of those certifications;
- Adopt "know your customer" provisions and monitor for customer diversion; and
Hire an external auditor to conduct periodic reviews of its compliance with the settlement.
Cardinal will also pay $7 million to Health Research Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation affiliated with the New York State Department of Health and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and an additional $3 million to the state of New York.
Today's agreement with Cardinal is the first settlement in the continuing investigation by the Attorney General's Office into improper secondary market trading of pharmaceuticals.
The investigation was conducted by Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Krantz of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and Assistant Attorney General John Powell of the Health Care Bureau under the supervision of Assistant Attorney General Joseph Baker and Deputy Attorneys General William Comiskey and Peter Pope.

Ward Steps In, Emerges as Canada's Next Goalie
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | McLaughlin Archive
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Team Canada coach Randy Mearns was asked about goalie Dillon Ward's performance and wondered aloud, "How many saves did he have?"
I think 17, someone said. "Well, we got a goaltender," Mearns replied.
It was really 18 stops, a stellar number for a player making his international debut against the U.S. in front of an announced crowd of 11,447 in the opening game of the 2014 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship.
Ward was Canada's star of the game, in a tilt that saw them go 31 straight minutes without a score and losing 10-7 after sprinting out to an early 3-0 lead. The U.S. outshot Canada 40-20 and 24-7 in a first half where Ward had nine saves, which he replicated in the second half. "We got 10 [goals]," Team USA head coach Richie Meade said. "We probably could have 15 or 16, but they had him."
"He was unbelievable, but that's what we expected," attackman Curtis Dickson said of Ward. "We know how good of a goalie he is. He put up huge numbers in school, and he's a heck of a goalie. Now he's doing it on the world stage, and letting everyone else see it."

night against Team USA. (Scott McCall)
The goalie position was one of uncertainty and still is an emotional topic for the Canada lacrosse program. All you had to do was see them practicing this week – wearing reversible red and white pinnies with the number 17 on the front and number 35 on the back, representing the jerseys and memories of Chris Sanderson and Kyle Miller. The former Team Canada goalies passed away within the last three years from cancer; Sanderson in June 2012 and Miller in June of 2013.
All-World defenseman Brodie Merrill, who credits Sanderson with paving the way for his eventual NCAA field lacrosse career, wore 17 during Thursday's game and veteran faceoff man Geoff Snider donned the 35.
Is it coincidence Ward's jersey – 37 – includes one digit from each of them?
"Chris Sanderson and Kyle Miller are smiling up top right now," Mearns said on the field at Dick's Sporting Goods Park afterward.
Ward is atypical in his stance and size in goal. He's tall, 6-foot-5, and standing upright the top of his helmet rises above the crossbar. But it's not always that way. Team USA attackman Kevin Leveille, who snuck one goal past Ward with a crafty inside finish off a Rob Pannell feed, said "he has a strange form. He kind of crouches a little bit. We were trying to shoot off-stick side. I know we had a couple five-hole goals. He's a little bit different than what you're used to seeing with a really technical goalie who stays in his angles."
Team USA midfielder Paul Rabil said the offense would study more film on Ward if they are to see him again potentially in next Sunday's final.
Predictably, Ward's box lacrosse background growing up in Orangeville, Ontario, has something to do with that. Fans of Canadian Junior A ball are familiar with his talent — he won Minto Cup titles with the Orangeville Northmen in 2008, 2009 and 2012 and he's a three-time Robert Melville Memorial Award winner as the most outstanding goalie in the Junior A ranks.
"I like to use my size to my advantage. I had a lot of body saves. A couple off the chest, a couple off the leg," Ward said. "I'm used to playing big. It's something that American shooters are not used to seeing a goalie with such a wide base, and not taking a big step."
He was drafted by the NLL's Colorado Mammoth with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 draft, the highest a goalie had gone since Gee Nash was the No. 2 pick behind John Grant Jr. in 1999.
But like Dickson said, Ward has put up impressive numbers in goal outdoors, too. In his senior season at Bellarmine, Ward led NCAA Division I men's lacrosse nationally with a 66.2 save percentage in 2013, and finished sixth in goals against average (7.68) to earn ECAC Goalie of the Year and third-team All American honors.
But coming into the world championship, Ward hadn't played much field game since then – other than a four-game stint with the Hamilton Nationals last season, serving as Brett Queener's primary backup.
"I've gotten more and more comfortable and making all those saves, you get more comfortable as the game goes on," Ward said. "It is a confidence-booster."
Back indoors, as part of a promotion with the Mammoth, fans submitted entries in a contest to pick what Ward's new signature should be. ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell even caught wind of the clever idea and traded tweets with Ward about it. Since then, he's narrowed it down to two possibilities after flipping through a thick packet of finalists this week. Whichever one he selects, Ward might now be using it more often.
Because Canada has found its next goalie.

The Ultimate Quarterlife Cleanse: I Deleted my Facebook Account
May 19, 2010
You did WHAT?
I deleted my Facebook page. It wasn't a decision I expected to make, but the signs were there for a while. I deleted my MySpace account a few months ago, but I hadn't used it in years for anything other than stalking my high school boyfriends and listening to new bands. It was more a matter of housekeeping than anything. Just like deleting your Match or Roomster profiles when you no longer need them. But deleting my Facebook profile was proactive- a decision.
The first thing that made me realize I might want to delete my FB account was the development of memorializing someone via their profile page. The internet is still learning how to handle information when someone dies. I'd hate to think that the last thing that people see of me for all eternity is my status update about eating at In-N-Out Burger or posting the most recent viral video involving Single Ladies. I'd like to be remembered for more than just fleeting thoughts and high scores on Block Breaker.
(For the record, there is a new company that deals with your online property. Legacy Locker was created by an entrepreneur whose grandmother died without passing on her email password. With this company, you can designate who gets the password to each of your online sites. Don't want your mom to know about your porn subscription? Leave that password to a trusted friend.)
Step 2 in my rocky relationship with Facebook was their requirement to make my password "more secure." More secure made me laugh so hard I wet myself. I'm publishing my information on the internet, and you care if someone can get in and change my favorite book from Madame Bovary to The Davinci Code? I made my password Ih8tefacebook. It was a reminder of what a pain in the ass this advance in social networking thing was.
Once my password was more secure, I realized that Facebook knew a lot about me. I had to reenter the new password on my computer, on my phone, on my app for my phone, on my app for my iPod. They have access to information about where I am, what I'm doing, who I'm with, and what I'm consuming. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but Big Brother seemed to be invading my personal space.
Do we really need to be so connected all the time? This password phase of my Facebook downfall coincided with me getting my first smart phone. I'm a Google junkie and I like to know information all the time. If I can't remember that actor's name from that movie that I kind of liked that one time- I like to be able to find it. If I'm lost and I need to find the closest caffeine fix, I'd like to be able to look that up. However, once I got the smartphone, I didn't have to pay attention to the world around me. Standing in line? I can check my blogs. Waiting for someone to meet me? I can text them while reading their Twitter feed about being stuck on the Bay Bridge. I used to revel in life's little oddities that you only notice when you're in limbo. With more connectivity, I ended up less connected.
This led to the next step on the downward Facebook spiral: deleting people I wasn't actually friends with. Parents of my friends, people I had met online, old high school friends with kids and boob jobs- all of them went the way of the delete. I changed all of my security settings to "friends only" and ignored friend requests from former babysitters. "You have 267 friends" quickly went down to "You have 80 friends." And I didn't miss them. Those Facebook friends are filler; they're the breadsticks at a nice restaurant. I felt triumphant for cutting out the carbs and really narrowing down my connections to people I knew.
Only days later, Facebook changed their security settings to do some things that I don't really understand. What I do understand is that I suddenly had requests to add applications relating to my schools, jobs, and interests. It's one thing to tailor the ads I see to keywords I type in, but ferreting through my profile to expand your network of applications seems like going a bit too far. Big Brother had stepped back in. The thought police were on my tail, but this time they were trying to sell me half priced cupcakes and tickets to the opera. However, my repulsion wasn't immediate. I didn't click delete for another couple of weeks. I tightened my security and went about my internet day.
Then came South Park. I know the creators say that they don't plan on making social commentaries or motivating change in the world- they just want to make a funny show. But you know what, I don't buy it. The episode "You have 0 friends" aired on a Wednesday in April and it started to leach into my soul. Facebook is dumb. Super dumb. I started to want the part of my life back that I had voluntarily given up to the soul sucking Book.
Those 80 friends I was so proud of whittling down to were suddenly a vast field of people I hated. Sure, some of my good friends were there as were some really interesting people with whom I had reconnected. I started to realize that I was making excuses not to get rid of Facebook. I didn't need it anymore, I didn't want it anymore. Those people who were part of my life were still going to be there, even without Facebook.
The final step was Betty White. Perhaps its too ironic for you that the final steps in my Facebook downfall were motivated by things I saw on Hulu, but whatever. I'll work on that personal flaw next. If you've been living under a rock, or don't have a Facebook page, you should know that Betty White became the host of Saturday Night Live because of a massive Facebook campaign. She addressed this in her monologue saying,
"You know, I have so many people to thank for being here, but I really have to thank Facebook. When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host Saturday Night Live I didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is I have to say it sounds like a huge waste of time. I would never say that people on it are losers, but that's only because I'm polite."
Ouch Betty. Ouch. If Betty White thinks I'm a loser, it must be so.
I posted a status update that within 24 hours my profile would be gone. It had been weighing on my mind for a while, but Betty White convinced me. So far, the detox has been fine. I haven't felt the urge to status update, play block breaker, or check on my zombie hoard. I never got into Farmville, so I'm not saddened by dying crops or wandering pigs. I still have a Twitter account where I can post viral videos that I need to get out of my system. I also have a Livejournal account that is fully protected should I need to rant about my job or society.
The internet has brought us a lot of things. Some of those things are good and some, not so good. Sometimes it's hard to tell one from the other. We, as Quarter-lifers, have known social interactions without the computer. We have known going out with friends where you had to plan in advance because who would have a cell phone on them? We have known our parents telling us to keep it short online since we were being charged by the minute. I believe that it is this understanding that led me to feel uncomfortable with Facebook. I'm under no illusions that my information is secret online or that I control less of my information than I think. But actively handing over myself and forfeiting any control I might have seems counter to maintaining that self. When everything is public, what do you get to keep for yourself?
Addendum: Since I started writing this article, there has been a major movement to delete your Facebook page. QuitFacebookDay.com asks you to take a stand against Facebook and their poor privacy policies by quitting on May 31st 2010. They suggest some alternative social networking sites, but I suggest taking a break. Live without social networking for a year and see how things change. What will you do in the time you used to check status updates? More importantly, what will you get back?
A Quarterlifer Abroad: Jailbreak!
May 19, 2010
This article finds me in the middle of a tropical thunderstorm. I am humbled, and, frankly, a little rattled. Picture windows are great at first – I was able to curl up on the couch and watch the neon-purple forks of lightning streak through the sky, and even attempted to take a few pictures. A few window-shaking thunderclaps later, I am a pair of giant eyeballs glued to the window and slouching down in my seat. I was watching a bird fly through the storm, and realized we're probably all scared out of our wits. If humans aren't ever really comfortable with the sky cracking open, why should animals be? I wonder where the iguanas, geckos, squirrels and bugs go during storms like this. Probably in my house, actually.
The sheets of rain have turned to regular drops now, and the grass is a blazing green. Nature is on high here, as the plant life seems to soak up water as soon as it falls. It's the end of April already, and the rainy season has started, evidently. It's still quite warm outside, but – another neon fork of lightning in the distance! – the rain looks cold and very, very wet. We are constantly surrounded by construction work, as we live in a newly developed area, and a lone builder is barely visible behind a green, mesh tarp. He is sitting on some cinder blocks under the shelter of the home he is building as he patiently waits out the storm. Good thing; a few minutes before the rain started, the sky was aglow with lightning flashes and he was working away on the roof which has about 30 metal rods sticking out of it. For us North Americans, lightning means take cover, cancel your soccer games, get out of the pool, pack up the picnic and light some candles. For the Nicaraguan builders, not working means no money to send home to the family. As I type this, a man in jeans and a hard hat is walking around with a wheelbarrow full of scraps. I've already imagined a mind's-eye scenario where he gets struck by lightning and I run out, screaming for help, poke him with a piece of wood to make sure he hasn't become a superhero bad guy, and then drag his sizzling body to my house where he wakes up and we've all learned a valuable lesson.
As a result of my living here, I have seen not only the gorgeous wonder that is Comunidad and the surrounding area, but also a bit of a darker underbelly. We've had one or two attempted robberies, seen some drunks (well, the same guy multiple times) passed out among rotten mangoes on a Saturday evening beneath a fruit-laden tree – nothing too surprising for any country, really. We were more shaken, however, when we got a midnight call from our student-teachers telling us that they had been accosted for walking around without their passports and were being taken to jail. Uh-huh. Ryan and I threw on our clothes, Easter egg-hunted for passports, and drove the 25 minutes to Liberia where they were being held. We arrived, camera in tow, and found the girls safe and sound but restricted to a bench next to several prison cells. In the same area – having been arrested at the same time – was a seven-piece Mariachi band in green and white ruffled suits, looking somehow more forlorn than our Canadian comrades. Where was Chevy Chase? Where was Steve Martin, with a headache and a grinning John Candy in tow? We couldn't help but laugh.
The ones who weren't laughing were the police officers with three-foot machine guns who blocked my entrance into the area where my friends were being held captive. Once we handed over the passports, however, the immigration officer was all smiles and shaking hands. It turns out that the girls had been taken to the slammer in the back of a pickup truck, with Mariachi on their tails. The most outspoken of our student-teachers yelled the story of what had happened across the jail to where we were standing outside. She had a pretty good sense of humour about it: the officers had exempted her from riding in the back of the truck, offering her the passenger seat since she was pregnant. She was wearing a babydoll-style dress that emphasized her definitely-foetus-less tummy. Well. If I am to be honest with you, I have been asked if I was with child as well since I've been here. Some of us like to eat a big dinner, ok? I don't know where the food goes in Costa Rica, but our Canadian stomachs get full from time to time. Jeez.
So, it appears that the moral of the story is: jail and thunderstorms are everywhere – even in paradise. Sometimes, shit happens and there isn't much you can do about it, except carry your passport and a poncho around with you when there's static and mischief in the air.
Until next time, stay out of the rain and/or jail, and eat plenty of fibre.

Getting Into the Real World Mentality
May 13, 2010
By Kristen Fischer, www.ramenrentresumes.com
The end of the semester is fast approaching for many college seniors. Even though you may be caught up in campus life, the professional world is just around the bend. Here are a few tips on how to get into a "real world" mentality to make the transition a tad bit easier.
Think about what you want to do. You have been studying a particular field for around four years, but that doesn't mean you will—or will want to—automatically enter it. If you know that you want to pursue something else upon graduation, there is nothing wrong with not going into the field you studied. In fact, you'll do better off knowing this from the get-go so you can build your career in another field. Regardless of what you want to do, learn about your options. Examine what you want your ideal day to be like. What kinds of jobs are available in your industry and in the region you want to work in?
It may sound silly but most new grads are on autopilot and, understandably, enter the working world taking whatever job they can get. But you want to build a career now that you have your degree; not just get a job. Put some thought into the direction you want to take.
Get crackin' on a resume. I know it may seem daunting to work on something that doesn't have a deadline—unlike turning in a final paper—but this document is equally as important. While you are on campus and have the resources, talk to the pros at your Career Services office and get tips for writing a resume, and feedback from people who know all about them.
Compiling a resume is often overwhelming for soon-to-be grads because they feel like there's nothing to fill up an entire page, but if you really assess your skill set and look at the latest resume-writing trends, you can come up with a powerful resume that will get you the job.
Start looking for a job—yesterday. Again, you may be swamped with class work or you may be trying to relish your time as an undergrad, but nowadays, jobs are hard to come by. Add the fact that you'll soon have to pay off loans and bills—and probably want to get your own pad at some point—and you will realize that you don't want to be behind the eight ball. It is frustrating when your peers have great jobs lined up while they are still students. While that does not happen to everyone, many students are preparing to enter the professional world months before they graduate. Be proactive in your job search and start putting feelers out. You never know how long it will take to get a job and it's smarter in the long run to get something fulfilling and profitable so you don't have to take any old gig to get by. (Chances are, you went to college so you would not have to just "get by" anyway.)
Even thinking about what you want to do and where you want to live—and arranging for those things—is smart planning. Talk to your parents about the possibility of moving home or see if you can get a roommate if you want to be out on your own or plan to move far from home.
When summer starts and your classmates are at work and you are home on mom's sofa, it may feel good for a while but it won't be long before you will want to get out into the working world. Start your search now so you can make a timely transition.
Practice interviewing. If you aced your public speaking class and excel at debates, that doesn't mean you will be a natural at an interview. Most of the time, the weight of landing your first job and the pressure of impending expenses can turn you into a frazzled mess when it comes time to sit down for a one-on-one. That kind of anxiety can take away every strategy you have mastered in the past. Start developing answers to common interview questions and practice a mock interview with a friend or a professional in the Career Services office. You can submit a stellar resume but the interview is what makes or breaks it. First impressions are huge in the real world.
Coming in to an office wide-eyed and bushy-tailed is common for recent grads, but you can get more comfortable with a professional environment by rehearsing answers and dressing up. Pay attention to things like how much you fidget—you may smell like an entry-level candidate to the interviewer but you don't want to look like one, too!
Enjoy your last days in college. Even though it is beneficial to think about and prepare for the future, there is nothing like living in the now. Spend extra time with friends, sleep in, stay out late, hit up a crazy party, or enjoy campus activities. Even if you cannot wait to graduate, you will probably long to be a college student again at some point in the future—make the most of it now.

Robbing the Grave of Robin Hood
May 13, 2010
I loved the original 1937 flick. Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Claude
Rains…total utter classic. That IS Robin Hood. If they were going to ever
remake this movie it should have been in 1988 with the "Princess Bride"
actor, Cary Elwes. Minus Fred Savage of course. Speaking of Fred, did he
get a sex change? Because he looks just like that anchor chick on MSNBC.
Anyhows…Call me old fashioned, a fan of old flicks, a classicist if you
must…but I like some things to stay the same. No remakes. No prequels. No
reboots. And definitely no rehashing the same old tired stories over and
Robin Hood is just another cinematic abortion coming out of the Hollywood
whore factory. I know, tough words. Perhaps a little angry. Maybe even
uncalled for and at worst…a little frightening. I apologize. It's the
Zoloft 100 mg withdrawal talking, not me.
But, still no excuses Hollywood. Enough is enough of the old stuff made
anew. Robin Hood even literally robs the grave with the out of the age
bracket actors of Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. Not that they are
ancient and I love'em and their craft…but ummm…Robin and Maid Marion are
not supposed to be card carrying members of AARP.
Don't get me wrong I totally get the re-teaming of Ridley Scott directing
the hell out of Mr. Crowe. "Gladiator", exactly ten years ago, kicked
utter ass and changed the entertainment and Mediterranean tourism industry
forever. But, what that movie about the ancient past recovered for the
audiences' viewing pleasure is remarkably lost in this attempt at the
It all seems to forced. Here…it's "Gladiator" in tights. Love it or go see
Iron Man II again! Oh, and nominate us in February.
If historical cinema epics and history teach us anything, it is that no
one ever learns from their mistakes. The last attempt at retelling the
story of Robin and his Merry Men was the 1991 beginning of the end career
move with Kevin Costner. This was followed up with the "Men in Tights"
comical farce by Mel Brooks. If it takes a loser movie to be made fun of
with another loser movie…maybe it is about time we do indeed hang up the
tights on this classic tale.
I give it two Friar Tucks out of five.

Women lose homes, face rape, violencecomment (0)
August 8, 2013
By Eden Nelson
Sitting in the room drinking our extremely strong coffee, we are updated on the latest occurrences in Syria by a firsthand witness, hearing about her family that was slaughtered. In Arabic that is a word only used for Eid-Al-Adha, when the lambs are slaughtered — very rarely used for murders. So to be termed as the family being slaughtered implies unfathomable brutality.
The slaughter is discussed with downcast eyes and other people across the room tell of other stories they have heard. After talking about Syria for most of the visit, eventually the room grows quiet. A burden that heavily weighed upon each person seems to fill the room. This tragedy is not something people know how to deal with.
How do you live when all you once had is gone? Your home country is completely torn to pieces and you are left in a land that will never be your home. You will always be an outsider with a passport from a country to which you can't return. Many Syrians who have fled are terrified of returning. The fact that they have fled their homeland is a perceived death warrant, so the potential of one day returning seems hopeless.
They have lost their homes, their families, their status and their work, all laid in the rubble of a seemingly never-
ending, malicious war. After the long pause, one of the men asks, "Until when?" How long will this last? The people of Lebanon and Syria have seen so much devastation over the past four years.
How does one bear the burden of such destruction and hurt? How do they walk around Lebanon normally, knowing that their family is locked inside of their house in Syria afraid of leaving their home?
They wait for a phone call, willing to answer their phones at all hours of the day in case it is a friend letting them know their family is OK, always waiting, always wondering if today could be the day their family disappears.
Putting pen to paper even to begin to express the details of this war is difficult. Interviewing Syrian refugees who have been deeply affected and hurt by the war evokes an ache in my heart that I do not fully know how to explain.
Stories of women being raped, brothers being killed, nephews being kidnapped, villages being utterly destroyed, livelihoods being shattered and children being shot. Those are only a few of the horrendous stories I have heard as I journey to learn more about what is happening in this two-year civil war.
To describe in words the pain that is written on these people's faces is not possible.
I try to relate to the best of my ability, but I am unable. I have never been forced to leave my homeland knowing that leaving may mean I never get to return, leaving behind all of my childhood memories, work, friends, neighbors and the peace of knowing where you belong.
How does one cope with such a loss? How is one able to continue waking up each day when he or she has lost everything?
Zulema said to me, "The Lord is with me, I have no fear."
Zulema is a woman I wish all Christians could encounter. Her love for the Lord is contagious and as she sits in what I view as such an awful situation, she says this is the happiest she has ever been. Why? Because Christ is within her.
She leaves me speechless.
The perspective of a Syrian is already difficult to imagine, then to meet a woman so captivated by her God that she has no fear.
'I could learn a thing or two'
I think I could learn a thing or two from my Syrian brothers and sisters, what it means to be content in all circumstances, what it means to look upon tragedy and see the Lord's mercy and love.
Please remember the Syrian crisis. Each time you view an update on the news, pray for God's protection and provision. Pray that the many refugees who have fled their homeland will find home in Christ. Pray they will encounter His peace, His love, His mercy and His salvation in the midst of devastation.

What: Running. Specifically, five miles four to five times a week and eight to ten miles on Sunday. If I'm forced to use a treadmill because of traveling, I alternate days between 45 minutes at a consistent pace and intervals.
Where: Central Park, the reservoir and the Park drive/loop, depending on the day and my mood. Under duress, I'll use a treadmill.
Who: Alone, except when joined by my running partner Nancy Chilton and on Sundays, her daughter, Ali.
Gear: I tend to favor black clothes, even when running outdoors in the summer and I never wear shorts because I tan easily and short tan lines are not appealing.
Prep and recovery are just as important as workout gear. My fuel of choice is two Ito-en Sencha shots, pure concentrated green tea with no sugar. And post-workout, I love coconut water for the electrolytes and potassium (and it has way fewer calories than a sports drink).

Review by Ethan D
The Five-Year Engagement 2012
Ethan D's review published on Letterboxd :
Annie Edison, Andy Dwyer, Marshall Eriksen, and Kelly Kapour were all in the same movie.
It's like every television actor was thrown into a solid wedding movie, making it slightly above average.
It's over-long and pretty boring at points but it still has some laughs and is somewhat entertaining. It wouldn't be as entertaining if the leads weren't so likable even though they're characters weren't.

With the 2012 MLB trade deadline now passed, almost as much attention is given to the deals that weren't made as the ones that were. It's much like the selections for the All-Star game. In the immediate aftermath, we focus on which players were snubbed, rather than who made the team.
We saw quite a bit of activity leading up to the trade deadline this year. A surprising number of transactions took place late into the night, rewarding night owls and insomniacs who couldn't stay off Twitter and giving normal sleepers some exciting news to wake up to.
But after all the frenzy leading up to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline settled down, it was time to collect all the paper off the floor, clean off the desks and look at what really happened.
Though some big names like Ryan Dempster, Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence did get moved and could influence playoff races, there were several deals that surprisingly didn't happen.
A few of these missed transactions could be revisited over the next month leading up to the Aug. 31 waiver trade deadline, depending on which players clear waivers without being claimed. In the meantime, however, here are 10 deals we expected or hoped to see but couldn't quite make it to the finish line.

Cisco: IT Visibility Into Biz Like a 'Foggy Day in London'
Twenty-six percent, when asked how they knew the IT department was doing a good job, said that no one every calls them. Another 23 percent said they knew by the fact that they sleep at home rather than in the office. Almost a third of IT managers compared their visibility into their company's business initiatives to "a foggy day in London." Thirty-six percent said the IT department was viewed by business leaders as an "innovator," while 34 percent said "orchestrator." However, 15 percent chose "firefighter," 7 percent said "ghost" and another 7 percent said "fortune teller." In addition, 71 percent said the IT department is deploying more applications now than a year ago, but 41 percent said the networks aren't ready for BYOD, while 38 percent said it wasn't ready to move applications to the cloud. Budgetary issues were considered the biggest hurdle to deploying new applications, according to the survey. Thirty-four percent of IT managers said they didn't have a big enough budget, and 18 percent said they "would rather break out of prison or train for a triathlon than ask for additional budget."Regarding new technologies, 71 percent of respondents said they plan to deploy SDN technology this year for such reasons as creating a more programmable network and to reduce costs. However, 34 percent said they have seen an actual SDN deployment as often as they've seen Elvis, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. In addition, 48 percent said they believe the Internet of Things—the idea that almost everything, from computing and mobile devices to appliances, automobiles and smart TVs, is increasingly being connected to the Internet—will create new business opportunities. Cisco and other tech vendors are strong proponents of the Internet of Things. However, 42 percent said they were as familiar with the Internet of Things—"somewhat familiar"—as they were with Einstein's theory of relativity.
Other challenges were network limitations, cloud infrastructure and data center readiness, and a lack of staff.
