Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

First, lied and set they were not part of a franchise.
Second, delivered product with missing pieces.
Third, I had to research the part numbers for the missing pieces, give these numbers to the store, and pickup the parts myself.
Overcharged, totally treated like a servant to the company.
Finally terminated the purchase agreement and told them to take the appliances and get out of my life.
Buyer beware!!

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
As Charisma News previously reported, one of the leading team members of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), Bradley Braland, died suddenly on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013, in a car accident.
Director of CfaN's communications, publications and print media, Braland passionately served on staff at CfaN for more than 10 years. His recent projects focused on the Good News Crusades that Reinhard Bonnke launched here in the U.S. Braland also served his church family and beyond as a musician and artist.
Braland is survived by his wife Bridgett, who sustained minor injuries in the accident, and four young children, Ethan, Zion, Levi and Zoe.
"Although his passing is tragic and unexpected, his 40 years on this earth will be celebrated by countless friends and family. Our comfort is that he has received his full reward of and is now sitting in the presence of Jesus!" Cfan officials said in a statement. "Still, the grief that his family will endure here on earth is just as real. Please join us in praying for Brad's young family."
A Celebration of Life service for Brad will be held Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, at First Baptist Church Windermere, at 300 Main Street, Windermere, Fla. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon with the funeral following starting at 1 p.m.

Arriving in the capital Wellington, we drove out of the city to Palmerston where we stayed overnight and travelled back into the city by train the next day to have a look around and to visit Te Papa the main museum in the country (not terribly impressed!). Wellington is a big city by NZ standards and judging by the number of boats in the harbour, is also a major yachting centre. Our main impression of our first few days in the North island is that it is much busier and more crowded than the south (relatively speaking)
Unlike the South Island, there doesn't appear to be a "natural " route to cover the sights of the island so after getting yet another leak in the van fixed, we head off in yet more rain in the vague direction of Napier on the West side, but starting along the eastern road.
The rain is getting heavier so we decide to stop overnight at a DOC campsite at Otaki Forks as we cross country. Having wised up to the fact that some of these sites are very muddy and that it is easy to get stuck in the mud, Carolyn "volunteers" to walk down to the site (in the pouring rain) to check it out. During the night the rain turns to hail which, believe me, is VERY noisy in a campervan! In the morning the site is very muddy but fortunately we get out ok and continue our journey northwards along the thermal highway to Napier and Havelock North.
This area had a few good (albeit very windy) walks with some great views over Hawkes Bay. Nearby a town called CLIVE caught our attention.
Napier was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1930s. The upside of this is that it was rebuilt in the Art Deco style and some stunning architecture remains today. We stick around the area for a few days and visit (after a lot of searching) a farmers and produce market. The range and quality of produce is fantastic (and by comparison with the UK, so cheap).
Having stocked up with goodies we continue our journey onwards to Taupo.

A pair of dash-mounted LCD screens forms the centerpiece of the Grand Scenic's upgraded infotainment kit. The first display is an extremely wide and shallow panel and replaces what would be the instrument cluster in most cars. That means everything from the speedometer to the rev counter and fuel level gauge are rendered virtually.
Done well, this approach can be extremely effective as Mercedes recently proved with its latest S-Class. Indeed, it's very likely more and more cars will feature it in future. In the new Grand Scenic, however, it's rather less successful. For starters, the screen installation looks a bit cheap. Partly that's thanks to the rather mean proportions of the panel itself, but the excessive amount of dead space surrounding it hardly helps, either.
Unfortunately, Renault decided to cheapen things further with a chintzy "TFT DISPLAY" graphic below the panel. Frankly, it's redolent of 1980s boom boxes and their ubiquitous "graphic equalizers". Renault would be well advised to realise that in 2009 nobody is impressed by the mere presence of a TFT display. Making matters worse, the on-screen graphics also smack of cheap hi-fi rather than high end automotive fare. Overall, the look is dated and messy, which is never a good thing for a brand new product.
Nor, sadly, is it terribly easy to read, despite the fact that Renault has provided several colour and contrast options for users to choose from. Not only is the interface visually noisy, but the meager vertical size of the display also creates problems, particularly when accessing the Grand Scenic's multimedia functions.
That's a shame, because the latest Grand Scenic is fairly well specified when it comes to digital music playback. Okay, it doesn't have a hard drive for local storage of music files. It doesn't support video playback, either. But when fitted with the optional USB port (located in the centre console), it does boast both native iPod support and the ability to play music files from a mass storage device.
Strictly speaking, the system does an effective job on both counts. It correctly recognised our USB memory stick and first-gen iPod Nano and we like the fact that it immediately takes users to the playback interface upon connection. The problem comes when you attempt to navigate large libraries of music. There's only enough space on the main display for three rows of text, forcing you to scroll, scroll and scroll again.
Then there are the slightly fiddly, cheap and confusing dash mounted infotainment controls. If there's a logic and consistency to them, we failed to uncover it during our relatively brief time with the car. Users are further confused by the fact that the controls for and the display of the optional sat-nav system are located entirely separately from the rest of the infotainment system - the sat-nav control stick is found on the central sliding arm rest while the screen is situated to the right of the virtual instrument cluster. This, therefore, is no unified iDrive- or MMI-like in-car infotainment system.

The history of the site is complex. After the closure of Thornton's Theatre in Market Street, Guildford had no purpose-built theatre. In 1846 the Guildford Mechanics' Institute opened on North Street and this building was greatly enlarged in 1861 by an additional 80ft long hall extending on the west side down Leapale Road. The County & Borough Halls, as the building was now known, retained the old hall. In 1912 the large (County) hall was rebuilt internally and further extended to become the 1050 seat Theatre Royal. The theatre had a raked floor of steel and concrete, a circle and gallery and a new roof. At the same time the old Borough Hall was given a new stage and an enlarged gallery, but at opposite ends to the original stage and gallery. The Theatre Royal closed in 1933, having failed to meet the local authority's structural and safety requirements, some of which (for example, the insistence on a reinforced concrete stage) seem to have been quite unreasonable. The Guildford Cooperative Society, having bought the entire property, used the building as a shop and store but left the theatre auditorium disused, in situ. Around the 1950s, however, the circle and gallery were removed. The Borough Hall/Guildford Theatre was gutted by a fire in 1963 which also destroyed the roof of the old Theatre Royal. The Borough Hall had had occasional use by professional theatre companies in 1933 and 1942, but from 1946 to 1963, as the Guildford Theatre, it housed the successful and highly-regarded Guildford Repertory Company. Following the 1963 fire, the Coop store was extended into the Theatre Royal site. The original 1845 and 1861 elevations were in Bargate Stone with ashlar dressings in a pleasant, gabled Tudor manner. Subsequent alterations made rather a mess of the gables and fenestration. Internally, the theatre was an odd hybrid, more like a cinema than a theatre, with a rather uncomfortably detailed tunnel vaulted ceiling, two curved balconies, one above the other, with the briefest of side slips, no boxes and no architectural link between balcony fronts and proscenium. The Borough Hall, in its final form, had a proscenium with the borough coat of arms. The destruction of the old Theatre Royal and Borough Hall accelerated plans for the building of the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.

In our household, fall means football. One of us (yes, I mean you, Mr. John) has the football schedule memorized; he watches the gridiron action accompanied by at least two or three patient pets (who may be attracted to the pregame snacks). Although one team is banned in our household, we want to shine the spotlight, not on a convicted criminal whose past animal abuse has cast a negative light on the entire sport, but on those doggedly devoted players who are inspiring people to get in the game and help animals in need.
Scoring a touchdown in the hearts of animal lovers for assisting the shelter where he adopted his second canine companion, Torrey Smith of the Baltimore Ravens recently switched sports for a day—knocking down bowling pins and raising funds for the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter's medical care fund. BARCS also benefitted when the wide receiver stepped off of the playing field and on to the catwalk for the non-profit organization's second annual Pawject Runway event, starring 15 celebrity 'Softies' from the Show Your Soft Side campaign.
Tackling the topic of animal abuse, the Show your Soft Side campaign features a series of billboards and flyers created to set a good example for impressionable adolescents. Along with Smith, fellow Ravens Brendon Ayanbadejo and Arthur Jones, Justin Pugh of the New York Giants, San Diego Chargers linebacker Jarret Johnson and Zaviar Gooden of the Tennessee Titans are among the growing team of sports stars and celebrities from the world of entertainment who have posed with their four-pawed pals.
Never one to sit on the sidelines, as the co-grand marshal for the 2013 Panera Pup Walk quarterback Charlie Batch—who sports two Super Bowl rings—recently took steps toward creating a better tomorrow for homeless animals. Batch and his wife Latasha led a team of people with a passion for compassion through the streets of Homestead, Pennsylvania. The one-mile canine constitutional raised funds for The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society, an open-door shelter that cares for approximately 10,000 companion animals each year.
The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund show their support for members of a breed in need at the annual Bully Ball. Since the event's beginnings, former Atlanta Falcons/Detroit Lions player William P. Fralic. Jr., former NFL coach Dan Reeves, one time Chicago Bears place-kicker Kevin Butler and Bulldog's Tailgate Show co-host Loran Smith have co-chaired the event. They have inspired football heroes of yesterday and today to join the huddle to help Georgia English Bulldog Rescue, a non-profit which rehabilitates and finds forever homes for sick, injured, neglected or abused English Bulldogs.
Fans of Fidos, felines and football can kick off the new year and help a paws cause in the process by purchasing a 2014 "Puppies, Panthers and Kittens...Oh, My!" calendar. Thirteen Carolina Panthers players, cheerleaders and coaches—including Cam Newton, Charles Godfrey, DeAngelo Williams and Ron Rivera—posed with the furry members of their own home teams as well as adorable adoptables to raise funds for the Humane Society of Charlotte, a non-profit which has helped animals in need since 1978.
The positive actions of these players, past and present, really are something to be cheered!

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polytetrafluoroethylene at Glassy Transition Temperature
|R. Al-Nsour
|Virginia Commonwealth University, US
|383 - 386
|molecular dynamics simulations, polytetrafluoroethylene, force fields, glassy transition temperature
|This research is concerned with studying and understanding the thermal and mechanical behavior of PTFE. Such understanding is critical to predicting PTFE behavior and allowing bottom up design of improved polymers for specific applications. While a plethora of experiments have investigated the mechanical properties of PTFE, examining these properties using molecular dynamics simulations (MD) remains in its infancy. The present study is the first MD simulations to research PTFE behavior around the glassy transition temperature. Specifically, the current research utilizes MD simulations to achieve the following objectives: (a) model PTFE glassy transition temperature; (b) examine the impact of glassy transition temperature on the mechanical properties; and (c) determine the governing forces at the molecular level. Achieving the aforementioned objectives involved performing three major tasks. First, generating and testing PTFE force-field parameters. The parameters were produced based on the OPLS-AA model. Second, building PTFE amorphous structure using Cerius2 amorphous builder. Third, performing MD simulations using NAMD®. This task involves a polymer relaxation process to predict PTFE mechanical behavior around glassy transition temperature. Properties that are affected by this transition such as volumetric thermal expansion, specific volume, and bulk modulus were examined and our simulations were in good agreement with experimental findings.

Yes.. crackling is not something I'd want either. With my other card, the Philips PSC724, based on the Envy24GT chipset, I'd get worse problems than that even.
It would sometimes jolt the volume to max, even when my speakers were turned all the way down. I know it's not the speakers, because I've used many other sound cards with them, and never had a problem.
It's not good at night, when the families sleeping, and your sound goes max without warning ^^

Bethesda, MD -- A new study indicates that mutant Cu/Znsuperoxide dismutase (SOD1) enzymes that are associated with aninherited form of Lou Gehrig's disease cause the protein to becomesticky in tissues. Partial unfolding of the mutant protein can exposehydrophobic residues that may promote abnormal interactions with otherproteins or membranes in the cell.
The research appears as the "Paper of the Week" in the August 19issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, an American Society forBiochemistry and Molecular Biology journal.
Over 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with amyotrophiclateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease each year. About 30,000Americans have the disease at any given time, and 10% of cases areinherited.
"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disorderin which neurons of the motor pathways in the brain and spinal corddie," explains Dr. Lawrence J. Hayward of the University ofMassachusetts Medical School. "It typically strikes during middle age,and although it may start with only mild weakness, the symptoms canspread insidiously over months to impair mobility, speech andswallowing, and ultimately the muscles required for respiration."
Despite the prevalence of ALS, the biological mechanisms thatkill the motor neurons in most patients are incompletely understood.However, for a fraction of inherited ALS patients, mutations in thegene for SOD1 cause the disease by creating a toxic enzyme. Evidencesuggests that misfolding or partial unfolding of mutant SOD1 proteinsin these patients might be key to the toxicity.
Hoping to learn more about how SOD1 contributes to ALS, Dr.Hayward began to study the properties of several ALS-causing SOD1mutants in research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health andthe ALS Association.
"Our efforts have focused upon trying to explain how over 100different mutant forms of SOD1 cause inherited ALS," says Dr. Hayward."The initial results were puzzling because some mutations had dramaticeffects on copper and zinc binding, enzymatic activity, and stabilityof the protein, but many other mutations seemed to cause only subtlechanges in these properties in vitro. Yet all of the mutants were knownto be toxic in patients."
As a result of several additional experiments done in his laband by other groups, Dr. Hayward suspected that the mutant proteinsmight be more vulnerable than the normal enzyme to specific stresses intissues. In their Journal of Biological Chemistry paper, Dr. Haywardand his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical Schoolshow that when the mutant SOD1 enzymes are exposed to reagents that candisrupt some of the protein's bonds or remove its metal ions, theybecome much stickier than the normal protein.
"The mutants, but not the normal SOD1, adhere to a hydrophobicor 'greasy' surface, and this property could promote abnormalinteractions with other proteins or membranes in the cell," explainsDr. Hayward. "How well different tissues can handle this burden ofsticky protein, especially during aging, may be one factor thatdetermines which cell types are most vulnerable in the disease. It wasinteresting to us that the adherent forms were not restricted to thenervous system in the mouse models but were also seen in other tissuessuch as heart and skeletal muscle. It is possible that this propertycould contribute to abnormalities in muscle, while other tissues suchas kidney do not accumulate hydrophobic SOD1 despite a high expressionlevel of the mutants."
These results may lead to new treatments for some forms of ALS.For example, if researchers can minimize the hydrophobic exposure orcan understand how certain tissues prevent build-up of the sticky formsof SOD1, they might be able to boost defenses in tissues known to besusceptible to mutant SOD1 accumulation.

Date of Stay: April, 2009
I was pleasantly surprised at this park. It's pretty nice. There are 2 playgrounds and plenty of open space. The sites are a nice distance from each other. The security seems good. It is certainly the closest campground to Riverside. There are a lot of birds there, some aggressive geese too. We would stay there again. All in all not a bad place. We only used the bathrooms once and they were clean. We didn't use the showers.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
I'm giving this park an 8 rating, simply for the beauty of the place. There are no amenities. Make sure you bring in water. You can run your generators 3 times a day for 2 hours. We had no phone service, but that's really the point. The sites are fairly narrow, and not a level spot in the campground. We were in 25 and it was very nice. The kid loved climbing the rocks. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a nice park. Typical KOA, but well kept. I think we were the only people here, as it is still a little early in the season. It was quiet, and dark! Bathrooms were in good shape. Clean but not updated. Easy access from the freeway. Nice little playground and an enclosed dog run for the mutts. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
Really nice park. We camped over labor day weekend and it was packed. Nice pool, jacuzzi and playground. Close to El Capitan. It is beautiful and you can get ocean view sites from the upper level. Definitely expensive and I'm sure we payed a premium because it was a holiday weekend. About 20 minutes back to Santa Barbara. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
We tried to get into Pfeiffer State Park first, but our trailer did not fit. So, we moved on and found this campground. It's not bad, but it's rather primitive. I have to agree with the other reviewers, paying nearly $60.00 and not having full hook-ups is too much. We had no phone reception down there either. The playground was nice! And we used the restrooms, but not the showers and they were pretty clean. I don't think we'd stay here again. But at least they had space available.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is a really nice park. It is tucked way back off the I-70. But it's quiet and very lovely. There is a nice trail to walk around and the campground was well kept. We only stayed one night, and did not have reservations but the camp host was able to get us in. Not terribly big. We didn't use the restrooms, so I don't know about the facilities. Nice place to stop. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This park is disgusting. It is flanked by a waste treatment plant, the freeway, and railroad tracks. You have to drive through a really shady neighborhood till you get to the park and this place is no better. It is a trailer park, not a campground and not an RV park. The restrooms are disgusting. The whole place is terrible and depressing. We stayed one night because it was the closest we could get to Chicago. Lost all our money, the manager said a check would be waiting for me when we got home and it has never arrived. DO NOT STAY HERE. Just keep on going. Worst place ever. My family and I traveled 20,000 miles last year in our Airstream and this was by far the worst RV park we visited. Doesn't even deserve one star.

There are ways around the mess, and here is a fun music shaker that is mess free ! 1. Gather your materials. You will need a plastic container with a lid ( ours is a puffs container), some stickers, buttons ( uncooked rice,popcorn, pasta or beans work great too) and some glue. 2. Start by adding stickers to your container. Something I love about using stickers is that you can use character ones, letters, numbers... the sky is the limit! 3. Pour in the buttons. 4. Add glue to the top. 5. Pop the top on and let dry. 6. Make some music!

Sleep and Depression as Risk Indicators for Temporomandibular Disorders in a Cross-Cultural Perspective: A Case-Control Study
Caio M. P. Selaimen, DDS, MS / Jos� C. M. Jeronymo, DDS, MS / Diego P. Brilhante, DDS, MS / M�rcio L. Grossi, DDS, MS, PhD
Purpose: We conducted this case-control study to determine the role of 2 neuropsychologic variables (sleep and depression) as possible risk indicators for the development of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Materials and Methods: Neuropsychologic tests, traditional signs and symptoms of TMD, and social and economic variables were analyzed. Seventy-two predominantly muscle-related TMD patients (Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD groups Ia, Ib, and IIIa) and 30 age- and sex-matched pain-free controls were included in the population. Results: Overall, TMD patients had statistically significantly higher sleep and depression scores on the Sleep Assessment Questionnaire and on the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Beck Depression Inventory, with odds ratios of 5 and 1.6, respectively. These results remained unchanged even after controlling for 8 confounders in the logistic regression analysis. Spontaneous pain and pain on palpation (grade 2 or higher) were also statistically significantly worse in TMD patients. In the forward-step logistic regression analysis, we also found that the combination of our best TMD predictors (ie, sleep, cigarettes, alcohol) had a better predictive value (percent agreement = 78.69%) than when the variables were analyzed alone. Conclusion: Sleep and depression are considered important risk indicators for the development of TMD.

Survivor: Philippines
Exclusive: Malcolm Freberg talks about his time on 'Survivor: Philippines' (Part 2)
By Reality TV World staff, 12/20/2012
Malcolm Freberg
was voted off
: Philippines just shy of making it to the Final 3 during Sunday night's finale broadcast of the season on CBS.
Malcolm, a 25-year-old bartender from Hermosa Beach, CA, was eliminated from the game thanks to a plot devised by the Final 3 castaways -- winner Denise Stapley, a 41-year-old sex therapist from Cedar Rapids, IA; Lisa Whelchel, a 49-year-old former actress from Dallas, TX; and former
: Australia castaway
Michael Skupin
During the subsequent live reunion show,
Jeff Probst
revealed Denise had received all but two of the six votes -- which included one from Malcolm -- and therefore claimed the $1 million grand prize. "RC" Roberta Saint-Amour voted for Lisa, while Carter Williams voted for Skupin to win.
Jeff then revealed that Lisa had won $100,000 as the winner of the season's "Player of the Season" home viewer vote. Malcolm came in a very close second for the prize, as only 0.7% percent of a vote separated the two deserving castaways.
In an exclusive interview on Monday, Malcolm talked to Reality TV World about his
: Philippines experience.
Below is the concluding portion of Malcolm's interview.

. Start reading the initial portion of Skupin's interview
Reality TV World: During the live reunion show,
Jeff Probst
asked the jury for a show of hands of who would have voted for you if you had made it to the end either with or without Denise. And it seemed like you wouldn't have won -- especially if you'd gone up against Denise. Did that surprise you? Were you shocked to find that out?
Malcolm Freberg
Yeah, well the story I keep having to tell -- if you're going to go back and watch the live finale, go watch this one again and just watch what [Pete Yurkowski], Carter and [
Jonathan Penner
] are doing. Because they're all sitting next to each other and just having a ball, like being goofy in the background.
But they had all -- and I knew they were going to do this. I didn't think they were actually going to do it, but we knew that question was coming. Jeff loves to pick on fourth place and see if they would actually win. So before we go out there, Pete, Penner and Carter told me they weren't going to raise their hands when he asks that question (laughs) when I know they would've absolutely voted for me.
I think if I go with Lisa and Skupin, I think I'd win big. If I go with Denise, it's very close and I would've had to make a really good argument. It probably would come down to the argument.
But Pete and Carter would've absolutely voted for me, but they just didn't raise their hands because they were being silly. Penner probably would have, like Penner probably really would've gone with whomever made the best argument.
Reality TV World: You had seemed willing to vote Denise out at the Final 4 but not at the Final 5. So why was that? Was that just because you had the Final 4 pact with them and didn't want to break your word, or was that more for, again, jury perception?
Malcolm Freberg
Jury perception. Like I knew how I was looking, and I looked like this guy kind of -- when I flipped on Tandang, when I started voting off Pete and all those guys and I went with the new old-person alliance is what it was, I knew that it was perceived as justifiable, if that makes sense.
I knew that they couldn't be angry at me for that, because they had been plotting behind my back. So there's no way they could be angry at me. Now, if I stick with -- and it's the same thing. I thought I had my three locked so I could do whatever I wanted to control appearances.
I thought, "Absolutely, I'm in the Final 3. So Denise can come to the Final 4 and it doesn't matter. It'll keep her happy with me," because I would have never broken my word to her. I would've just cut her out at the very end, and yeah, it all just comes down to the fact that I thought Lisa and Skupin would take me.
Reality TV World: At that Final 5 Tribal Council where Abi-Maria Gomes ended up being voted off, obviously it seemed like they were considering Denise as well. You just mentioned right now that you had threatened to use the hidden Immunity Idol there. Do you think that is why Lisa and Skupin decided not to vote Denise off at that point and go with Abi instead?
Malcolm Freberg
No, that's absolutely what happened. They'd get rid of Denise right there. They were playing much more cerebrally than I knew until I got to see it on TV. They would've gotten rid of her had I not -- Skupin walks up to me and says, "So what are you going to do with your idol?" And I go, "Oh, I'm giving it to Denise."
And I said it really offhand, like I knew what I was doing but I kind of made this off-the-hand comment that, "Denise is getting it tonight." And it's one of those things that played out the way it did. But if they were -- I honestly believe that if I hadn't said that, they would've gotten rid of Denise right there.
If I didn't have the idol, they would've gotten rid of Denise right there, and then they'd get rid of me on this next one and it'd be Lisa, Skupin and Abi at the end -- and we'd have a very different millionaire right now.
Reality TV World: Playing up there on the whole Final 3 thing, if Skupin and Lisa had gone to the end with Abi instead, there's been a lot of speculation that Lisa or Skupin definitely would have won the jury vote. Do you agree with that, and if so, who do you think would've won the vote in that scenario?
Malcolm Freberg
It goes Lisa, Skupin, Abi. I mean, Abi doesn't have a chance. She was just too despised while we were out there, really. She was not a tolerable human being. So we would've had to be forced to vote for somebody. We can't write "none of the above," this isn't [the movie]
Brewster's Millions
It would've had -- you know, I would've voted for Lisa. I can't speak for everybody else. Skupin was more liked. It would've been very, very close between Lisa and Skupin had they done that. I would've voted for Lisa though.
Reality TV World: Had you actually voted with Denise to create a 2-2 tie, would you have attempted to vote off Skupin or Lisa, who did you consider the bigger threat?
Malcolm Freberg
We would've done -- if we had done that, and obviously this scenario played out in my head out there -- we would've gone with Lisa. Because if I'm going to stick with Denise and vote with Denise, I need to look loyal to Denise. If you vote 2-2 at the Final 4, [it'll result in] fire-making.
And Skupin was like my pupil for making fire, but Lisa hadn't made a fire in 38 days at that point. So we would've gone Lisa. We would've had Denise and Lisa in the fire-starting challenge.
I would've been coaching Denise in the back, because if I'm going to do that, I was going to help Denise all I can. We would've gone with Lisa because she can't make fire and I don't think Denise ever really made fire either, but I could coach her up and she'd probably have the best chance that way.
Reality TV World: How do you think the game would've played out differently if Skupin and Lisa had ended up going with Penner there instead of going with yourself and Denise to the Final 4?
Malcolm Freberg
It didn't make the show at all, but no matter what, it's the Final 8 and we know that the next vote is so telegraphed that it should be possible to make a Final 4 deal. And the very first people that were willing to were Skupin, Lisa and Denise. And that really is who I thought, and I played out the entire endgame in my head.
I'm like, "That's who I want to do this with." Not to toot my own horn, that was the driving force behind that whole thing. But if they say, "No," I put a deadline on it. They showed on the show very briefly, like I said, "Before the next Immunity Challenge, we need to all go and shake hands."
I put a deadline on it, and if they didn't do it, I absolutely would've gone to Pete and Abi and brought in Denise, and we would've voted off Penner that night. That was the episode Pete went home.
I absolutely just would've gone the other way. I was getting a Final 4 done. That wasn't ideal, but if Lisa and Skupin weren't onboard -- and clearly they weren't because they were running around and I didn't know that happened -- we absolutely would've dragged in Pete and Abi. It would've been me, Pete, Abi, and Denise.
Reality TV World: While you were out there, did you sense that Skupin wanted to take you to the Final 3 but Lisa did not and that Skupin thought he could beat you because he had a better story than yours?
Malcolm Freberg
Yeah, I absolutely knew that was happening. I mean, like what I keep saying is that I didn't have a good read on Lisa at all, but I knew that she wasn't my biggest fan to go to the end with. I didn't know she was so adamant about it, but I knew that Skupin was seriously considering it.
And my understanding of their relationship was that I thought Skupin was the one calling the shots, but the reality is, it was clearly Lisa. But yeah, I knew that Skupin was more in favor of the idea of keeping me. But Lisa wasn't. I really spent 90% percent of my negotiating with Skupin, thinking that he was the driving force behind their alliance, when in fact, it was Lisa.
Reality TV World: Do you have any regrets about the game, anything you would change or do differently if you got to play the game a second time?
Malcolm Freberg
You've talked to some of these other guys, who were voted out early, and they talk about losing sleep. I don't really lose sleep over what happened. I don't really -- I don't doubt my logic while I was out there. Given the information I had and what I was seeing, I would still probably make the same decisions at every stage in the game.
My only -- I just had a horrible, horrible read on Lisa. Good for her, that's the game. She just absolutely outplayed me there at the end. So yeah, if I could do something different, I wouldn't trust older women. (Laughs)
Reality TV World: How were you cast on
: Philippines
? How did you end up on the show?
Malcolm Freberg
I applied multiple times. Didn't get it the first time. The second time, I was lucky enough to go through this whole crazy process and managed to pull it off!

An Autobiography HTML version
Widening Interests
During this period my work on the State Children's Council continued, and I never found
time hang heavily on my hands; so that when Mr. Kingston met me one day later in the
year, and told me he particularly wished me to accept an appointment as a member of the
Destitute Board, I hesitated. "I am too old," I objected. "No, no, Miss Spence," he replied
laughingly, "it is only we who grow old--you have the gift of perpetual youth." But I was
nearly 72, and at any rate I thought I should first consult my friends. I found them all
eager that I should accept the position. I had agitated long and often for the appointment
of women on all public boards, particularly where both sexes came under treatment, and I
accepted the post. Although often I have found the work tiring, I have never regretted the
step I took in joining the board. Experience has emphasized my early desire that two
women at least should occupy positions on it. I hope that future Governments will rectify
the mistake of past years by utilizing to a greater extent the valuable aid of capable and
sympathetic women in a branch of public work for which they are peculiarly fitted. Early
in my career as a member of the board I found grave defects in the daily bill of fare, and
set myself to the task of remedying them as far as lay in my power. For 30 years the same
kind of soup, day in and day out, followed by the eternal and evergreen cabbage as a
vegetable, in season and out of season, found its way to the table. My own tastes and
mode of life were simplicity personified, but my stomach revolted against a dietary as
unvaried as it was unappetizing. An old servant who heard that I attended the Destitute
Asylum every week was loud in her lamentations that "poor dear Miss Spence was so
reduced that she had to go to the Destitute every week for rations!" My thankfulness that
she had misconceived the position stirred me to leave no stone unturned for the
betterment of the destitute bill of fare. I was successful, and the varied diet now enjoyed
bears witness to the humanitarian views of all the members of the board, who were as
anxious to help in the reform as I was. My heart has always gone out to the poor old folk
whose faces bear the impress of long years of strenuous toil and who at the close of life at
least should find a haven of restfulness and peace in the State for whose advancement
they have laboured in the past.
She was a witty woman who divided autobiographies into two classes... autobiographies
and ought-not-to-biographies--but I am sure she never attempted to write one herself.
There is so much in one's life that looms large from a personal point of view about which
other people would care little, and the difficulty often arises, not so much about what to
put in as what to leave out.
How much my personal interests had widened during my absence from home could be
gauged somewhat by the enormous increase in my correspondence after my return.
American, Canadian, English, and Continental correspondents have kept me for many
years well informed on reform and kindred subjects; and the letters I have received, and
the replies they have drawn from me, go far to make me doubt the accuracy of the
accepted belief that "letter writing has become a lost art." A full mind with a facile pen
makes letter writing a joy, and both of these attributes I think I may fairly claim. My
correspondence with Alfred Cridge was kept up till his death a few years ago, and his

10 ideas for Outdoor Fun – Hurry in before gets cold!!!
10 Ideas for Outdoor Activities before gets cold!!!
1. Have a breakfast picnic in your backyard or at a park.
2. Take a "night walk.": Wait until the sun goes down. Mix some smoothies and put them in plastic cups. Head out the door as a family and take a walk around your neighborhood.
3. Homemade Horseshoes: Place two sticks in the ground, about 20 feet apart. Let your children use real shoes to try to hit the stick opposite where they're standing.
4. Build a fairy house: Let your children use sticks, moss, leaves and small items from inside your home to build a fairy-sized house.
5. Penny Toss:
- Fill a dishpan, baby bathtub, or kiddie pool halfway with water.
- Place an open plastic container carefully on top of the water so that it floats.
- Have each player stand three feet from the dishpan, tub, or pool.
- Give each player the same number of pennies.
- Have the players take turns tossing pennies at the floating container.
- Award a point for each penny that lands in the container.
- The player with the most points after all the pennies have been tossed is the winner.
- A child playing alone can keep track of how many pennies land in the container in a row.
6. Potato or Egg Race:
- Give each player a large spoon
- Give each player a raw egg or potato
- Have players line up at starting line
- Have players race to the finish line, without dropping their egg or potato
7. Catch Game:
This is a game for one or two players. The idea is to throw and catch the ball according to a sequence of tasks. When you miss, you lose your turn and have to start all over the next time. Here are some tasks:
- Meensies: Throw the ball and catch it before it bounces—10 times
- Onesies: Throw the ball and catch it after one bounce—9 times
- Clapsies: Throw the ball and clap hands before you catch it—8 times
- Kneesies: Throw the ball and touch your knees before catching it—7 times
- Twosies: Throw the ball and catch it after two bounces—6 times
- Under the knee: Lift your leg and throw the ball under the knee before catching it—5 times
- Highsies: Throw the ball as high as you can before catching it—4 times
- Touch the ground: Throw the ball and catch it after touching the ground—2 times
- Turn around: Throw the ball and catch it after turning completely around—1 time
- Note: After going through the sequence without missing, go through again using the right hand only, then with the left hand only.
8. Clothesline Art Show:
- String a clothesline or rope in your backyard
- Have your children paint pictures
- Hang their artwork on the line with clothespins
- Invite friends and neighbors to your art show
9. Volcano Experiment:
- Dirt or wet sand
- Small shovel or spoon
- Two teaspoons baking soda
- White vinegar
- Build a mound of dirt ten inches high.
- Dig a deep hole in the middle of the mound with a small shovel.
- Put two teaspoons of baking soda in the hole.
- Then slowly pour in vinegar and watch your volcano erupt!
10. Listen to the World: This activity can be done inside or outside. Sit beside your child or back-to-back, and close your eyes. Concentrate on listening to all the sounds around you. Listen to the world. Is the refrigerator humming, a plane flying overhead, the dog barking, or telephone ringing? Say what you hear. Can your child identify all the sounds? Are there any soft sounds? High sounds? Take turns being very quiet and then share what sounds you can hear.
Go outside with your family before it's too cold. Sharing with our kids outside memories will bring back our own childhood memories, when we had no Ipad, Ipod, Itouch, Iphone, IEVERYTHING!!! Share with us some of your own family ideas for some outside fun!!!

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said 11 flood warnings are currently in place in coastal areas of Wales, with concerns over high tides.

Dyfed-Powys said it was receiving "a high volume of calls reporting trees down and other damage caused by high winds throughout the force area".
South Wales had received reports of 13 fallen trees in one hour on Saturday afternoon.

Fallen trees were reported in Bridgend, Cardiff, Llanelli, Pembroke, on the A470 northbound at Upper Boat near Pontypridd and on the A48 at St Nicholas in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Fallen power cables also blocked the A4065 Abergarw Road at Bridgend.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
My name is Anna. I'm that girl that has all types of friends, but I'm usually found among nerds.
I love reading and writing, I'm working on a novel right now. At the same time though, I love loud rock concerts, paintball, and even fishing.
I also love animals and little kids, they'll win my heart every time. I don't want kids though, not for awhile, I just love kids.
I'm still a kid on the inside and always will be. I play waaayyy to much Pokemon, I play a site called Vdex constantly, I have stuffed animals (I collect Skelanimals, Pokemon plushies, and Inuyasha plushies), and I love getting down and dirty so long as I have a good time.
I'm bi, so I'm happy with either a girl or guy. I switch between which I prefer all the time, but that doesn't mean that I'm cool with an open relationship because I'm not. I'm the bi girl that fights for her rights (No, really...I volunteer with GLBT here in town), not the bi girl that claims it so guys will like her.
Guys, don't PM me saying "You're hot" or "Wanna meet up tonight?" I'm not looking for sex and you're not going to get on my good side by telling me I'm hot.
PS: If you are over 24, not from Alabama or bordering states, can't compose an understandable sentence, or just plain mean... Don't message me. :(

A draft social-media policy at Sam Houston State University—which would force anyone with a campus-related Twitter, Facebook, or other online account to give university administrators editing privileges—led to calls of censorship by students.
Now officials say they will revisit the plan. The backlash followed the university's release last month of a new social-media portal, called Social Universe. The original draft of guidelines for using the portal stated that any department or organization that joined would be required to release its username and password to the university, giving the college the right to oversee and edit any activity on the accounts.

A year after seventh grade teacher Elizabeth Delmatoff started a pilot social media program in her Portland, Oregon classroom, 20% of students school-wide were completing extra assignments for no credit, grades had gone up more than 50%, and chronic absenteeism was reduced by more than a third.
For the first time in its history, the school met its adequate yearly progress goal for absenteeism. Twitter, Facebook, and social activism. At four-thirty in the afternoon on Monday, February 1, 1960, four college students sat down at the lunch counter at the Woolworth's in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina.
They were freshmen at North Carolina A. & T., a black college a mile or so away. "I'd like a cup of coffee, please," one of the four, Ezell Blair, said to the waitress. "We don't serve Negroes here," she replied. The Woolworth's lunch counter was a long L-shaped bar that could seat sixty-six people, with a standup snack bar at one end. The seats were for whites. By next morning, the protest had grown to twenty-seven men and four women, most from the same dormitory as the original four.

5 Social Media Lessons Learned from Whole Foods. As a company, Whole Foods has impressively embraced social media more than most, gathering over 1.2 million followers on Twitter and 123,000 fans on Facebook in the process. While it is easy to understand why a relatively young company or one started by a tech-savvy founder would so completely embrace social media communication tools, it is quite a bit more remarkable for an almost 30 year old established brick and mortar company with roughly 50,000 employees and over 270 stores worldwide to have done so. I recently visited the Whole Foods headquarters in Austin, Texas to meet with members of their new media team, including Bill Tolany, the company's Senior Coordinator of Integrated Media, and Winnie Hsia, who oversees the @wholefoods account.
I wanted to know how Whole Foods integrated social media tools into their communications strategy, and what lessons had they learned from doing so.

RT @HarvardBiz Five Tips for Smarter Social Networking #socialnetworking #socialmedia. By John Hagel III and John Seely Brown | 8:00 AM January 31, 2011 We are all trying to figure out how to get more value from online social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Most of us are just skimming the surface in terms of the potential these networks offer us as individuals. To realize this potential, we need to become more active orchestrators of our social networks, setting the tone and drawing out others. Practices are still evolving, but here is some brief, and often contrarian, advice that comes from our decades of experience studying networks and the way people act within them: 1. 5 New Paradigms for a Socially Engaged Company. Soren Gordhamer is the organizer of the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, which brings together staff from Google, Facebook, Twitter and Zynga with others to explore living with awareness and wisdom in our modern age, at the end of February in Silicon Valley.
He is SorenG on Twitter. The age of social media is not just changing our personal lives, but is increasingly affecting how business is conducted.

The Three C's of Social Networking: Consumption, Curation, Creation. Ten Mindful Ways to Use Social Media. For the last two years, I have provided a daily wisdom quote through a Twitter account called Tiny Buddha.

I've realized, however, that the greatest lesson we can all learn is that less is enough.
