Ford Combats Collisions With Lane Keeping Tech, In-Car Coffee Suggestion

Drowsy drivers will get a bit of assistance, thanks to Ford's high-tech safety initiatives
Ford Motor Comp. (
) is going hard
at safeguarding its drivers
-- especially the
drowsy ones
I. Lane Keeping Tech is the Drowsy Driver's Friend
On road tiredness is a huge problem. A
recent study
[PDF] by the America Automobile Association's (AAA) Foundation for Highway Safety revealed 60 percent of adults admitted to driving while drowsy, and a shocking 40 percent admit to falling asleep behind the wheel. Ford points to
another recent study
by AAA, which indicated that drowsiness was estimated to cause 17 percent of fatal crashes.
Drowsy drivers will often crash when they swerve out of their lane. To that end, Ford is deploying a trio of technologies to help avoid collisions which occur when drowsy or distracted drivers drift out of their lane.
The new "lane keeping" technology -- which will first be available on the 2012 Ford Explorer early next year -- will automatically keep the car in your lane, assuming the lane is well marked and you don't have your turn signal on.
The system takes into account many variables including vehicle speed, whether the vehicle is rounding a bend, etc. Using a camera mounted behind the rear view mirror, Ford's system peers at the lane markers and applies steering torque to keep the car within a lane.
The driver will feel the adjustments as a gentle tug on the steering wheel as the torque is applied (similar to how you can "feel" the gas pedal adjust in many cars, when in cruise control). The driver can override the system at any time by hard braking, rapid acceleration, a turn indicator, or counter-steering.
Ford calls this comprehensive technology its "Lane Keeping System".
II. Time for Some Coffee, Says the Car
The system also warns the driver first with a yellow warning popup in the instrument cluster LCD screen accompanied by a brief chime. If the vehicle detects continued lane departure, it will sound a more alarming chime and display a red popup.
Ford also has devised a somewhat humorous (albeit on a serious topic) warning, which tells the driver when to "get coffee". A gauge monitors driver tiredness by watching the driver's movements on the road for signs of distraction or fatigue. As those signs increasingly show up, a slider will go from a "driving wheel" icon to a "coffee cup" icon. When the coffee cup icon is reached, drivers are advised to find a place to pull over, either to rest or to caffeinate themselves.
This part of the package is labelled the "Driver Alert System".
The final piece of the package is the "Lane Keeping Alert". This alert offers yet another warning to drowsy/distracted drivers who are drifting out of their lane. When it detects drift, it vibrates the wheel, warning the driver.
Via the vehicle's built in menu system, drivers can turn off certain parts of the system (e.g. turn off Lane Keeping and set their system to alert only).
This helps drivers select the level of intervention they feel most comfortable with -- from warnings, to actual torque application.
III. Ford Thinks Its Solution is the Best in the Industry
Ford Global Product Development Vice President of Engineering, Raj Nair lauds the new system, stating, "The Explorer is loaded with new innovations, including this new lane keeping technology that helps drivers stay in control of their vehicle if they drift out of their lane or show signs of drowsiness."
He told us during the presentation that while some luxury brands like Lexus (Toyota Motor Comp.'s (
) luxury brand) and Infiniti (Nissan Motor Comp., Ltd.'s (
) luxury line)
have similar features
, that Ford believes its system to be an industry first for an "industry first" for a standard segment vehicle.
Further, Mr. Nair says that the system's camera is more discrete versus rival's designs, which place the camera in positions that blocks part of the road view.
And he says that Ford's tested its system versus its competitors and worked to offer better screening of intentional lane departures versus unintentional ones.
IV. Lane Keeping Tech Does have Its Limits
The system is not without its limits. If the system can't see the lane markers, it turns itself off temporarily. This could occur in bad weather -- where visibility is very poor (e.g. a blizzard); on poorly maintained highways, where the lane markers have eroded; or on country highways where it's just dirt and no lane markers.

And obviously driver-assist features make some car enthusiasts a bit squeamish. Some would rather be the only source of input to their vehicle. However, if these kinds of intelligent solutions can save lives, it's hard for even car-heads to argue with them. After all, not every driver is an enthusiast driving a sporty manual.
And of course the feature will be an option, which can be turned on and off, so drivers can decide for themselves, whether they want to purchase this extra safety measure and how exactly they want to use it.

Shark diving
... likely spot the sharks. The seals were so noisy. It took a little while to spot the sharks but they stuck around for a while once we did. Then Fraser and most others on the boat put on wetsuits and goggles and got into the cage. I didn't want to. Not due to being scared of the sharks but because I don't really like water. Fraser loved it. Despite the water being freezing he said it was an amazing experience to ...
Fire going on

Most expensive weekend ever.... But worth it
... was such a cute moment! We then got to pat the elephants and feed them and watch them and ahhh it was so cool! It cheered me up so much I love them so much haha. We wore these green safari ponchos because it was always raining on and off and it was a bit cold. But we'd been so lucky because everytime we went to an activit it would stop raining for the length we were there and then start again when we were on the bus. After the elephants we drove to another awesome hostel! ...
History of Cape Town
... the district 6 museum- a place that was uprooted during the apartheid. Yet again it reminded me of civil rights in the United States. Next we went to the slavery museum and learned about the country's history with slavery with yet again so many similarities between USA and South African history.

The kids were waiting for a very long time so we made the sandwiches really fast. By the time we were done, our bus was there to pick us up and we had to leave. But the girls that had been picked up before us ended up getting out of the bus and the children loved them so we stayed for a few more minutes. It was nice ...

A survival model of pretrial failure

This paper examines the likelihood of rearrest during the pretrial period with a model that depends on both time elapsed since release and on individual and case characteristics. Using data on a sample of male arrestees released on recognizance in the District of Columbia in 1984, we apply a survival or hazard model to the problem of "predicting" pretrial rearrest. We are particularly interested in whether drug use, as measured by urinalysis at arrest, is predictive of pretrial rearrest and its timing. Results show, for example, that drug use or a charge for larceny is associated with high risk levels in the period immediately following release. In our data, the number of prior convictions exerts a strong effect on rearrest risk throughout the pretrial period, but the initial high risk associated with being on probation or parole or having pending charges decreases rapidly over the course of a year at risk.

Why More People Hate to Fly
There have always been some people who are afraid to fly.
But there is a growing number of people who hate to fly.
Talk to people about their flying experience and most of them will tell you flying has become a pain in the airsick bag.
These latest incidents of passengers fighting with each other over reclining seats into your lap are examples of just how uncomfortable and irritating flying can be.
Add on all the time and hassles going through security checkpoints, paying for baggage along with the cramped seats and tiny bathrooms, it's a wonder anyone flies at all.
The airlines are all guilty of it. Put more seats into the planes and make more money. Don't worry about the lack of leg room. Most passengers won't complain…at least not out loud.
Air travel used to be something you enjoyed….a time to relax, take in the view of the world below you, and be pampered by flight attendants who served you real food not in plastic bags and you didn't have to pay extra for everything.
Thankfully flying on an airplane is the safest form of travel.
That is until more fights start breaking out.

Finally a cover that fits!
This cover is great! Our sofa has a high back and arms and both are quite padded. I had tried other covers but they didn't fit. This cover fits well and was easy to put on. It is a little short in the back but not noticeable. I definitely would recommend this if you have had difficulty finding a cover that fits. It does wrinkle but smooths out easily.

Chapter Seven-AireeMature
I was utterly in shock when Hayden had agreed to come. Truthfully I almost didn't believe he meant it until just a few seconds ago when we parked and joined the rest of the guys. Who, for the record, looked like a pretty pitiful bunch next to the team they would be playing. Gavin's team rarely wins, so I guess it didn't surprise them when one of their only good players ditched the team last minute. "We are so screwed!" Gavin said, throwing his hands out across his chest.
Glancing over at the stands where Hayden was sitting. He had been pretty nervous since we arrived, probably scared someone from school might see him hanging out with us lesser beings. At the moment he was texting someone so he hadn't noticed I was smiling like a crazy person when an idea popped in my head. "Ask Hayden to play." I said, making sure I said it loud enough to where both Gavin and Hayden would hear. Gavin's eyes went wide, and then he walked over to where Hayden was sitting.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something. They couldn't be more different. Gavin, for starters, was skin and bone compared to Hayden and his tight toned muscles. I swear, places like Abercrombie would sell a lot more clothes if the guys on the bags looked like Hayden more often. Gavin was cute, don't get me wrong but, some of the things I've learned along the way just don't make it even a possibility.
Hayden stood up, and then turned around and walked off. Was he leaving? Gavin, as if hearing my thoughts blurted out, "He's is grabbing a change of clothes from his bike."
"He keeps an extra pair of softball attire in his bike?" I asked, though when I thought about it, I felt silly. Softball didn't require a certain attire. He probably had some extra work out shorts and a shirt, which for tonight would do just fine. I rolled my eyes at myself.
"You alright?" Gavin asked shooting me a questionable look, and then turned to chunk the ball. The other player caught it and then threw it back. Gavin paused.
"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." I said which, wasn't a lie. I really was. "I was just thinking about something."
"Alright, where do you want me?" Hayden asked. When I turned to look, he had just jogged up next to me. Sporting our school's gray work out shorts, and a long sleeved purple shirt, I took a step back instinctively. Holy Guacamole, he was hot! I did a double take, and then felt a fiery kiss against my cheeks. I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. Then, prayed he hadn't noticed.
"Ree, are you sure you're okay?" I could hear Gavin behind me. I nodded, Of course, Gavin would notice.
After a minute, or two, the umpire had arrived and called for the game to start. I walked back to the stands, and the guys took the field first. It took me a second to find Gavin but, when I did he was too far out in left field for me to really see. Hayden, on the other hand, I found almost instantly. He was playing short. When the first batter came up to hit, it was a swing and a miss. Swing and a miss. But after a few warm up shots, the batter swung and hit the ball. The clink of the cold metal against the ball sounded like lightening in a tornado. It had power behind it, and when it shot dead center, I was afraid it might hit someone. Instead, Hayden held out his glove like it was nothing, and caught it. The batter was out.
For a second no one said a word, apparently I wasn't the only one who was shocked to see him still standing after having caught that. The force behind it should have taken off his hand but, instead he acted as if the batter had simply tossed the ball to him. The pitcher held out his glove, and Hayden tossed him the ball. "Shit." Someone from the other stands laughed. It was a middle-aged man with a beard. He was wearing khaki pants, and penny loafers with a college insignia embroidered across the front of his shirt but, I couldn't make it out. Pulling out his phone he dialed a number, wrote something down, and then flipped the phone closed and pushed it away.
Towards the end of the game, we were easily winning. The man with the beard had left, though he consistently mouthed off words of awe of Hayden the entire time he had been here. In fact, I would have said something to Hayden about it but, as he hit the winning homerun I was cheering so loud, that I completely forgot. "Seriously dude, you have to play with us!" Jason, one of the volunteers had called out again.
He was sitting down the table from Hayden, as we waited for our usual order to arrive. We were at Joe's Pizza Palace, the only original pizza place in town whose standards or fresh don't mean microwavable. It's also one of the only other place open this late, other than IHOP or the bars, and since IHOP was our weekend place we come here. "I'm sure ya'll aren't that bad without me?" Hayden smiled though we could all hear the question it had really meant to be.
Suddenly Gavin burst out laughing. Everyone joined. When Joe walked in with the pizza, like usual, I was sitting in the middle of the long table. Unfortunately no other girls in our group tend to come, so rather than sitting alone off to the side while they go on and on about the game, I act as a referee making sure no one gets too riled up. The boys like to argue when they go over errors, and I'm here to make sure they remember it's just a game.
"What is this?" Hayden asked. I looked over to where he was sitting, a few seats to my left. He was holding up a Styrofoam cup, and holding an expression as if he had just taken a huge swig of lemon juice expecting a coke. Raymond, our little whirlwind of Latino charm, quickly took the cup from him, and set it down. Checking behind him before he continued, Ray answered him.
I watched Hayden's eyes grow big, and his mouth drop. I laughed, and then his ice blue eyes shot up and matched my smile. He looked up at me, mouthed the word beer, and then took another sip. I nodded, and laughed again. Had he never had a beer before outside of parties? When Ray started whispering again, I could almost hear his adorable little accent as he told Hayden about Joe. How he had been a regular visitor to the clinic, and that he was a miniature poodle kind of a man, though you couldn't tell by just looking at him. Joe had dark black hair and brown-ish green eyes. He was stocky like a tree stump, and a dang good cook. But a poodle man nonetheless. Up until last year his poodle, Doodle, (I know I laughed when I first heard it too) had only been alive because I saved her.
She had been hit by a car after the lawn people accidentally let her out trying to mow the back. When I found her she was limping along the road. She had severe internal bleeding and a broken leg but, we were able to save her. Ever since then, Joe has always taken care of us when we come in. Though thinking about it now, I'm not sure how the beer comes into play. Oh well, I'm not going to argue. I guess I should have warned Hayden before but, again, I forgot.
"Hey, I know you." Joe narrowed his eyes at Hayden. I don't think anyone had noticed he was even there, until he set down a delivery box of pizza. "You were with those two other guys last week." Joe continued. "They stiffed me sixty bucks." The room quickly got quiet. I could see Hayden was getting uncomfortable, and I was about to ask Joe if he could let it slide since he hadn't exactly been the one to "stiff him" per say(at least I think he wasn't), just his crappy choice of friends. When Hayden pushed out his chair and stood up. What was he doing? I asked myself.
"Here," Hayden said. He had pulled out his wallet, and handed Joe a hundred. "Sixty to cover their bill, and forty in advance in case they do it again." Joe held his narrow gaze a little while longer, and then relaxed. He was smiling, and patted Hayden on the back.
"I don't want your money," he said. "Just tell your friends if they try to do it again, I'll call the cops. My pizzas aren't made with love, you know. Their made with the best of the best produce and such, and that's expensive." Pretty soon the whole table was laughing with Joe. He really was a nice man. Hayden hadn't laughed though, and when we all got up to leave, I watched as he wedged the hundred dollar bill under his drink. I didn't say anything about it until we were outside, and back at his bike.
"I saw what you did." I came up behind him, and playfully pushed him. He laughed, and then turned around.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He teased me back. Then his smile faded, and he was back to being serious again. "Don't tell any of the guys but, Joe was being nice saying Kyle and Scott had just "stiffed" him. I probably should have left more than that to be honest" In that moment, the air seemed to catch and swirl around us. It was unexpected, and I shivered when it touched my skin. Hayden stood there watching me. Without a word, he pulled out a jacket from his seat compartment, and handed it to me. It was then that I realized how wrong I had been about him.
Hayden wasn't like the others, sure he was filthy rich, and a god when it came to baseball but, he was kind. And super-hot, I added in my head. Gavin and the others headed back to the field to practice some more. They called it One o' One time, because it always happened around one o' one in the morning, and because that was what they liked to call their practice times. I, on the other hand, was ready to leave. So rather than staying and watching their practice, which Hayden obviously didn't need, he offered to take me home. Before we left Gavin got Hayden's number and had asked if he wanted to join the team. Hayden said he would think about it but, that he couldn't make any promises.
We pulled up to my house about twenty minutes later. Outside my car was parked in the drive way, it illuminated under the moon from being newly washed. Hayden shifted in his seat, and I got off. He was acting weird again, almost guilty."Thanks for the ride." I smiled trying to lighten the mood. He didn't say anything, just continued to look at my car. "Alright, well-"
"Hey Airee," he interrupted, his hand reaching out and grabbing ahold of my wrist as if I had turned to leave but, I hadn't been trying to walk away.
"Yes?" I asked. My breath catching as his grip loosened, and he just held it. "I am sorry, you know, about-" He had begun to say but, paused almost as if something was holding him back. I didn't have to see where he was looking to know he had been talking about my car. "I shouldn't have told them about your surgery. It was wrong, and I'm sorry."
"I know." I smiled, and then reached out and touched his hand. Almost realizing he was still holding my wrist, he released it. His eyes shifted to mine and he held my gaze a bit longer, before turning back to his bike. Did he think I blamed him? "Tell you what." I said taking a step back in case he needed some space to think. "I'll forgive you this once, IF you do me a favor."His head jerked up at that, so I took it as a yes, and continued. "If you promise to help me with Count Saturday, and promise to play with Gavin on the nights you can," I paused for effect. "Then we can call it even, deal?"
"That's it?" Hayden looked dubious. I rolled my eyes. "No shopping trips or money trades?"
"Money trades? Shopping trips?" I repeated almost immediately. "What the heck? Are you trying to tell me something?"
"No, not at all. It's just when Laurie used to get mad at me, she would always ask for something like that. Or a really big slice of cake." I shook my head, utterly confused.
"Wait, you used to spend money on her just to end a fight?"
"Basically." He said plainly.Thinking about it before my morals kicked in, that was pretty smart. Selfish, greedy, cruel, and vindictive but, smart.
"No Hayden, I don't want your money."
He narrowed his eyes for a second, almost like he was looking for some clue I had been lying, when he smiled. "Fine, then deal."
"Cool." I said, and then smiled. "So about that cake,"
"I knew it," Hayden laughed, and pushed a hand threw his chocolate brown hair. I paused after having referred to his hair color as chocolate. (I must really want some cake) Laughed, and then went back to watching Hayden relax. It was nice for a change, seeing him not so uptight and stressing over who might see him do this or that. Plus, I liked his laugh.
"See you tomorrow," I said after a few minutes of just talking with him.
"Night Airee." He said, his words laced with a smile as he shot me a glance over her shoulder, and then sped off.
Once inside, Mick had been standing by the window watching us. He didn't say anything, only gave me a half smile. When I got to my room, my mind was already drifting off when I hit the bed. I was asleep within a minute.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to do a little iCarly side-project from iBreak a Promise (my main story at the moment). So, here's just a random thing that popped into my head tonight! iDo Not Own iCarly!
NOTE: Italics are flashbacks.
She's my daughter, I realize this.
Of course, she's really only half mine- half of her belongs to the last person I would've expected.
She has my blonde hair (complete with the bangs and curls), plus my blue eyes. But her features- they make her look just like her father, my husband, Fredward Benson. She smiles an adorable smile directed at me.
"Mommy, where's Emi?" she asks in her adorable tone. Emi (or Emily, which is her given name) is the child of my best friend Carly and her unlikely spouse, Gibby Gibson. Surprisingly, Emi isn't the least bit chubby. She has brown hair and Gibby's grayish-blue eyes.
"She's at her house," I chuckle. Madi (short for Madeline Joy Benson) acts an awful lot like me, bossy and controlling, but she has her father's brains.
I remember the day I found out.
"Freddork!" I yell, my voice echoing throughout the spacious house. "Get your tech-butt down here!"
Freddie stumbles downstairs, having that just-woken-up look. "What, Sam?"
Nervously, I stare down at the floor. "Um…we're...I'm…"
"You're pregnant?" he shrieks.
I meet his eyes. "Um, are you happy or what?"
"Of course I'm happy!" he laughs.
"Well, excuse me, Benson," I say, but my voice shows my obvious relief.
Madi waddles up to me. "Mommy, guess what?"
"What, Madi?" I ask her.
"I have a boyfriend!" she sings.
"A boyfriend?" I question dubiously. "Madi, you're only 4!"
She scowls stubbornly. "I'm not too little."
I laugh. "Okay, sure, Madi. Wait, when'd you get a boyfriend?"
"Yesterday," she announces importantly. "And he's coming to story time tomorrow at the library, so I'll see him then! And you and Daddy can meet him!"
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. First, Madi has a really extensive vocabulary for a four year old (or four and a half as she constantly tells us). But think about it. She's half Freddork Benson's kid, which means she's basically a genius. She's been reading for a year now, and is constantly begging to play on Fredly's computers. He lets her most of the time (who could resist those blue puppy dog eyes?).
Second, I, Sam Benson, am taking my child to a STORY TIME? Well, first, Madi loves stories, and she has a very big imagination, so she begs me to. And….I've softened up quite a bit since marrying Benson.
Madi interrupts me once again. "Mommy? When's Daddy coming home?"
"He should be here any minute," I inform her, just as Frednub steps in the door.
"Hey, Madi, baby," he coos, scooping Madi up and twirling her around. He then turns to me. "Hey, Sammy."
I walk up to him, slowly wrapping my arms around his waist. Then I sock him in the stomach. "That's for calling me Sammy, Frednerd."
Freddie groans, but then laughs. "You'd think I'd have learned by now."
"Some people never learn," I say airily.
"Well, I'm glad I did," Freddie laughs, leaning over to kiss me. It reminds me of the day we got together.
It was just a normal day for the two seniors at Ridgeway High. Freddie Benson and I were standing by the lockers, Carly Shay in between us. Suddenly, I feel the sudden urge to insult Freddie.
"Nice stripes, nub," I comment.
"Look who's talking," He shoots back, cracking on my striped shirt that's almost identical to his.
"I hate stripes on guys, stupid," I retort. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm NOT a guy."
Freddie snorts. "Wow, I never would've guessed."
This starts both of us on an insult frenzy. Finally, Carly steps in between us. "Hey! HEY! GUYS! Stop fighting for just one minute!"
Freddie and I both look at Carly. "What?" we say in unison.
"Okay, look," Carly mutters. "I KNOW you both like each other."
"We do not!" we exclaim simultaneously. For Carly's sake, I resist the urge to slap Freddie in the face.
"Yes, you do," Carly smirks. "You only fight with people you care about. Don't you?"
Freddie and I both sneak a look at each other. Carly has this smug look on her face as she turns to walk off. "I'll leave you two alone."
"So, do you?" Freddie asks.
I lean a little closer. "Do I what?"
Freddie shudders. "You know…do you want to go out sometime?"
"I'd love to, you dork," I whisper before leaning in and touching my lips to his.
Carly walks up then. "I'm glad you two finally learned."
"EW!" Madi screeches, pulling me out of my memories. "Stop with the kissy-kissy!"
Freddie snickers. "Isn't it your bedtime anyway, Miss Madi?" He picks her up.
Madi glares stubbornly. "No, my bedtime's in 2 minutes."
"Well, it'll take that long to get you to bed," I remind her. After 10 more minutes, Madi finally heads to bed.
"You're not headed to the Nerd Cave again tomorrow, are you?" I ask Freddie as we walk to our room.
"It's my day off," he tells me. "And for the millionth time, Sam, it's not the Nerd Pad, it's called Pear Incorporated."
I roll my eyes. "I prefer the Nerd Pad, and good."
Freddie raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Madi wants us to come with her to Story Time tomorrow to meet her boyfriend," I explain.
Freddie looks surprised. "Madi has a boyfriend? She's only four!"
"You try telling her that," I snort.
Freddie yawns and falls on to the bed. "I'm tired."
"Me too," I murmur. Raising a child is hard work, so in five minutes I'm knocked out.
The next day, Madi drags us both out of bed at 8 AM (the Story Time is at 9 AM). We get ready quickly, then Madi takes us to the car and we head to the library.
She grabs a little boy by his shirt sleeve. "Hey, dork!"
"Hi, Madi!" The little boy exclaims. "You are here!"
"As I said I'd be," Madi replies. "C'mon, you gotta meet my parents." She pulls him over to us. "Mommy, Daddy, this is Joey Hill."
I study him for a few seconds. Blonde hair, dark brown eyes. Something about him seems kinda…familiar.
I lean over to Freddie. "Hill…hmm…you don't think that could be Jonah Hill?"
Freddie chuckles. "Oh, I wouldn't be surprised. We've run into so many old friends in the last few years."
I lean over to Joey. "Hi, it's nice to meet you, Joey. Where are your parents?"
Joey points to a couple about the same age as me and Freddie. I decide to go talk to them, and Freddie lags behind me. "Hi, that nub way behind and I- we're Madi's parents."
"Yeah, we're Joey's," the father extends a hand. "I'm Jonah Hill."
I start laughing. "Jonah? It's me, Sam Puckett!"
"Sam?" Jonah repeats, bewildered. "I haven't seen you since high school!"
"Yeah," I laugh. "Weird. Who's your wife?"
"Well, you know her," Jonah begins. "This is Valerie."
"Valerie who used to date Freddie?" I snicker.
Jonah puts his arm around Valerie affectionately. "Yeah. So who'd you marry? Wait, let me guess. Freddie Benson?"
Freddie finally catches up. "Hi, I'm Freddie Benson, Madi's dad."
Jonah cracks up, and Freddie looks confused. I whisper in his ear. "That's Jonah and Valerie."
Freddie stares at me. "That we used to date?"
"Yeah," I mutter.
"Why is he laughing though?" Freddie asks.
"He guessed that I married you and then you walked up and said that," I hiss very quickly.
"Oh," Freddie finally gets it. "It's great to see you guys! Weird that our daughter would just randomly pick to date your son…"
"Weird coincidence," Jonah cracks up. "Wow, I never would've guessed."
"Same with me," I agree. "You know, Carly married Gibby."
Valerie gasps. "Really? That's crazy."
As if on cue, Carly and Gibby walk over then.
"Hey, Carls!" I greet my best friend. "Hey, Gibster."
"Hey, Sam," they say. "Who's this?"
"Carly, you'll never guess who this is!" I exclaim.
Carly studies Jonah. "A movie star?"
"No," I groan. "It's Jonah Hill, and Valerie who is now Valerie Hill!"
"The people you guys used to date?" Gibby asks bluntly.
"Yeah," Freddie tells him. "Weird, isn't it?"
"Really weird," Carly agrees, and then the story time begins. In the middle of the story, Madi climbs into Joey's lap. I lean over to Freddie. "Hey, Fredweird, look at Madi."
He laughs quietly. "That's adorable."
Suddenly, Joey leans over and kisses Madi. Right on her lips. He pulls back quickly and they both turn back to the person reading the story, but the whole audience is "aww"-ing, including Freddie and I. Freddie holds my hand affectionately.
"Looks like Madi's got herself a steady boyfriend," Freddie whispers.
I laugh as Madi settles down again, this time right between Emi and Jonah. She's holding both their hands. "No, it looks like Madi didn't have to learn like we did. She already realizes that she's got the perfect life. I mean, look at her. Joey acts a lot like you, Madi like me, and Emi like Carly, but it didn't take her 17 years to realize she should go out with Joey. Plus, it didn't take her another year to learn how to balance her relationship."
Freddie smiles. "I guess not. Guess it really is true you learn from your parent's mistakes."
"Maybe," I whisper as I kiss him on the cheek.
It's the last iCarly forever, as we are now graduating from college and far too old to continue our childhood webshow.
As we are ending, Freddie interrupts. "I have one last thing to say before we close."
Carly looks at him strangely. "Okay."
He kneels down in front of me. "Samantha Joy Puckett, I promise to love you forever and ever. Will you marry me?"
I gasp quietly, but manage an, "OF COURSE I WILL, BENSON!" I then tackle him in a bear hug and force the ring on to my finger.
Freddie laughs, and then turns to the camera. "Looks like now I'm gonna have to learn how to handle Sam Puckett."
I wrap my arms around his neck. "Oh, believe me, Benson, it's much harder than you think."
So, there's a small oneshot! Madi's based a lot off of me as a child, because the library story time thing actually happened to me at 4 years old! Haha. Anyway, hope you liked it! I will be posting the next chapter of iBreak a Promise soon, don't worry (which, btw, isn't iSaved Your Life, it's iMove Out. Sorry about the confusion!) But to help me, review this AND iBreak a Promise! Pleassssssssse with sugar on top! And a cherry! This was probably really confusing….but I just wanted to write it. Well bye!

Please have a look when you get a moment at the test area for home pages in: http://www.openoffice.org/test/ I have moved what were basically permanent items on our social networking areas and blog to the "I want to stay in touch..." area. Also, I edited the styling giving ~66% to the main menu items and ~33% to the "campaign" items to deal with annoyances on both browser and mobile devices. I am invoking *lazy consensus* on these changes and put this in place sometime on Sat, PDT -- say 15:30, unless there are objections. as a short ps. I did discover, after some investigation into the actual html for our generated web site, that we do indeed already have ssi enabled for ALL ".html" files for our entire site. So, if that helps anyone in any way. I am already investigating and testing this to deal with the ongoing "news" area. Set up file extensions for your includes with some other than ".html" -- I used ".ssi" -- and away you go! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat." -- Robert Heinlein

Recently, I found my wish list from when I was seven. Here is what it said (minus spelling errors):
Barbie with the brown hair and blue sequin dress and perfume bottle
Little Pony Purple
Corral for horses and troughs (I had miniature plastic horses and wanted a plastic coral and troughs for them)
Pretty Princess make-up kit
Disneyland with Caroline 1 day (my best friend and I both asked for this mobdro so we could go together)
No piano lessons
When reading this wish list, I think you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of seven year-old I was: girly, girly, girly. I liked anything that was small, plastic and colorful (sequins helped) and didn't like anything having to do with Piano. Seeing my wish list made me think, what does your gift list say about your child…and how have gift wish lists changed? To find out, I went about asking my parent friends and readers if they had a seven year-old daughter whose wish list they were willing to share. Here is what seven year-old Charlotte had to say:
Pink ipod touch
Cowboy Barbie
Earbuds with stars (these are earbud headphones with stars like earrings on the earpiece)
Paint set
Backpack like Chelsea's (This was a backpack you could draw on that her friend Chelsea has in green)
Xbox Kinnect
iTunes money for iPod touch
I couldn't help but notice Charlotte also loves small, sparkly items, but most of hers plug-in. Over the years more and more gift wish lists are going digital. Mobdro for iPhone For example, one of my 12 year-old inters is asking for 'a Facebook' for Christmas. This does not cost anything, but is a big demand from her parents (I think she might have to wait and get that as a 13th birthday present).
What does our holiday gift list say about our children or this generation of children?
1) Technology is taking over.
2) But…the basic kid needs and desires are still there. I wanted a make-up kit in 1992, Charlotte wants head phone earrings in 2010, but it is still all about playing dress-up.
3) Friends still matter. I wanted to go to Disneyland with my friend Caroline and Charlotte wants a backpack like her friend Chelsea. Part of me wonders if kids want to be more like their friends now, however spending time with them is not as important. This example is far too small a sample, but still an interesting way of showing how friendships are changing for young people.
I challenge you to talk to your teens and kids about what you wanted when you were their age. What has changed? Is it for better or worse? This is a great way to also talk about how technology and relationships are changing their generation…an important topic for every young person today.

Organic Dried Banana
Very good! Will order again.
- Vivian
Wow - real bananas!
Though my son, who loves those sugar-coated banana chips, hasn't really warmed up to these, I just love them. Real banana taste and clean snack food!
- Heather
I have not had dried bananas like these before. They seem a little different. Sweeter and more candy like than my previous experiences. They are almost artificial tasting.
- Hal
The best dried banana I have EVER eaten!!
- Candice
A Surprising Delight
Not what I expected, but I'm glad they're not. They're better! Chewy and sweet, a wonderful treat.
- Devin
Expected crunchy chip like snack, they are quite chewy but the flavor is fine. Not what I was looking for.
- Shelley
These were so good....I want more
- Stacy
Different than expected
I think I was expecting something more crunchy. Maybe I'll soak them to soften and see what happens. Bet it would be good in oatmeal!
Take em where no banana has ever gone!
I love bananas but they don't do so well traveling. These organic dried bananas are perfect for hiking, road trips etc. With no sugar added they are perfectly sweet and addicting.
- Nicole
Surprising soft texture. I'm eating the bag quickly.
- Amy
So good!
There are four servings per bag. I have to be careful not to eat all four in one sitting. Tastes great and tastes healthy and not processed. YUM!
- Michele
These bananas are truly fresh and pure! They are not soaked in oils like most brands one finds in the store, and they are not freeze dried, so they do not stick in your teeth! I have found the brand for me.
- Karly
Unexpectedly Delightful
Wooah! These are soo good. Stopping myself from eating the entire bag in one sitting. Honestly tastes like I'm eating (banana flavored) candy. They're very soft, sweet, and taste just as fresh as a regular banana. I thought the mango Mavuno Harvest was my favorite, but move over because these are amazing!

Asian stocks rise on cautious session; Euro and Pound, up
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Asian stock markets have risen on Thursday in a session dominated by caution as Morgan Stanley's quarterly losses reactivated fears about the banking sector. Euro and Pound have ticked up , Yen remains rangebound.
Japanese Nikkei Index edges up 0.4% after a negative opening, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.9% while South Korean Kospi Index added 0.5%.

Dachshund – Miniature Puppies
This breed is courageous, intelligent, playful, but can also be stubborn. They are wary of strangers and may get aggressive towards them. Training this breed of dog can be quite challenging. Dachshunds are loyal and loving to their owners.
Dachshunds exhibit three coat varities: smooth coat (short hair), long hair and wire hair. Wirehaired is the least commonly seen coat in the US and the most recent coat to appear in breeding standards.
Dachshunds have a wide variety of colors and patterns. They can be single-colored, single-colored with spots ("dappled"- called "merle" in other dog breeds), and single-colored with tan points plus any pattern. Dachshunds also come in piebald. The dominant color is red, the most common along with black and tan.
The breed is an average shedder and requires daily brushing to avoid getting tangles and mats. The short haired Dachshund will require brushing 2-3 times monthly with a hard brittle brush.
The average life span is between 13 – 15 years. Two of the most common health issues are spinal problems & patellar luxation. Some other health concerns are:
• Epilepsy
• Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis
• Dental Issues
• Cushing's Syndrome
• Thyroid Problems
• Allergies
There are some people how believe the Dachshund go as far back as to ancient Egypt, where they believe some engravings are made regarding the Dachshunds.
Dachshunds were bred for badger hunting, but there are differences as to when this breed really came about. The AKC believes there were bred in the 15th century and the Dachshund Club of American states it was in the 18th or 19th century. It is unknown where the exact origins are of the Dachshund. This breed was recognized by AKC in 1885 and grouped as Hound.

Chapter One: Initiation
During the most recent battle between the witches and DWMA, Akemi turns herself over to Lord Death, and vows to change her ways and become a student at the DWMA. She put forth one condition, however. Lord Death could tell no one of her past as a devout disciple to the Grand Witch, even though she's her daughter. Death The Kid, Lord Death's son, walks in as Akemi is discussing her enrollment into the academy. Kid befriends her, eventually becoming her lover. How will her past effect her new life?
Akemi Ayumu Bio: Akemi Ayumu was born during the Winter Solstice to the Grand Witch in France's Île-de-France region. She was gifted the magick of Dark Shadow, with shapeshifting abilities depending on her situation or what she wants to transform into. She has long, deep violet hair, which she styles accordingly to her duties that day. Her medium length face is accented by her burnt orange eyes, a trademark of the very few children born to the Grand Witch. During the most recent battle between the witches and DWMA, Akemi turns herself over to Lord Death, and vows to change her ways and become a student at the DWMA. She put forth one condition, however. Lord Death could tell no one of her past as a devout disciple to the Grand Witch, even though she's her daughter. Death The Kid, Lord Death's son, walks in as Akemi is discussing her enrollment into the academy. Kid starts befriending Akemi and eventually actually develops feelings for her, as does Akemi for Kid. She makes friends easily, but her secret eats at her daily, knowing she has to lie to her newfound friends AND her lover, Kid. Will they find out? Who will she trust more?
Chapter One begins below.
My name is Akemi Ayumu. I'm 15 years old, and I now reside inside Death City, and attend the Death Weapon Meister Academy. After the Forsaken Battle, that between the Grand Witch's disciples and DWMA's students, I surrendered myself to Lord Death to change my ways and become a Meister. Although I still have my magick, I vowed to keep in under the radar and use it only in desperate situations if me or my weapon's life is in danger. Today, I awoke more nervous than I was normally. Today was the day all the unmatched Weapons gathered in front of the academy to find their Meisters. I rolled out of bed, and lumbered on into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.
"You can do this, Akemi. Maka and Soul will sure be with you today. And Kid...he'll be there, I hope." I ran a hand through my thick violet hair, and stared myself down in the mirror.
"Akeeemmmmiiiiii!" A peppy voice cried from my front door. Blair. She was probably here to check up on me, since I lived next door to her, Maka, and Soul.
"Gah. Coming!" I called back, lugging my body to the door.
I turned the faded bronze knob to be greeted by the sight of Blair the Witch. She had the magick of Halloween, and could transform into a cat with a little witch hat. She always liked to show off her body, which irked me a little more than it should have. Blair held her hands up like paws against her flawless face, and smiled broadly at me.
"Akemi, are you ready to find yourself a weapon? You HAVE to make sure he's cute! And if it's a girl..." Blair trailed off.
"Eh, I'll be fine. Let me throw on my clothes and I'll be right over, alright?" My voice was awfully raspy, which was normal for me being as nervous as I was.
Blair bounced off next door and I turned around and yelled while aimlessly punching the air. I was so stressed. Why? Having Soul Protect on CONSTANTLY is something I was never prepared for. Then again, I was never prepared to surrender myself. I walked over to the closet and pulled out my black, zip upped dress with my monster mouth hood to throw over it. I fixated the belts, one across my waist and one connected behind my back to both arms. Slick, obsidian heels were waiting for me by the door. Clicking them on, I closed my eyes I whispered a spell for mental strength and walked out, locking the door behind me.
Maka and Soul were waiting for me outside their door, We all smiled at each other, and began the trek to the DWMA. We were locked in silence until Maka started talking to me.
"So, Akemi, are you excited to meet your Weapon?" Her cheery voice reassuring as she folded her hands behind her back.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm so far behind everyone, though. It's embarrassing." I pulled my hood more over my forehead and brushed some hair out of my eyes.
"It's a cool moment. A Weapon meeting their Meister. Your souls literally lock in eternal trust. Then, you learn to master your Soul Resonance. It just gets better." Soul added, shoving his hands in his pockets.
We were silent for the rest of the way. We approached the mountain of steps leading to the DWMA courtyard. There were so many people here... Everyone who wasn't already well established with their partner had a sticker that read "Meister" or "Weapon". I was lost in the sights of my surroundings when I was interrupted with a familiar voice.
"Hey. Akemi. I see you made it." I whirled around to see Kid, standing there with Liz and Patty at either side of him.
"Kid! I'm so glad you're here!" I called out, embracing him in a huge hug.
"Here. I got your Meister sticker. Let's start walking around and see what catches your eye." He took my arm and him and I started searching while the others went to class.
We seemed to walk for eternity. Ugh, what I would give to transform or spawn my wings... But, I had to push those thoughts away or things would get worse. Kid stopped walking, and put both his hands on my shoulders.
"Akemi, maybe we need to wait until next semester. I know you've been waiting all year to find a weapon, but maybe this is-" I cut him off.
"Kid! Look! What about him?" I stepped to the side of him and pointed to a boy against the wall.
I closed my eyes and switched on my specialized eyesight, a gift bestowed upon me by my mother, the Grand Witch. Opening them back up, I read his sticker... "Weapon". I dropped Kid's hand and walked over to the boy against the wall. Maybe this was my lucky break.

A type of dreamy sleep that occurs more frequently in the early morning is important for solving problems that cannot be easily answered during the day, a study has found.
The discovery could explain many anecdotal accounts of famous intellectuals who had wrestled with a problem only to find that they have solved it by the morning after a good night's sleep.
Scientists believe that a form of dreaming slumber called rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, when the brain becomes relatively active and the eyes flicker from side to side under closed eyelids, plays a crucial role in subconscious problem solving.
Dreams normally occur during REM sleep which occupies about a quarter of the total time spent asleep at night. REM sleep alternates with deep sleep and occurs as four or five bouts of sleep that get progressively longer as the night turns into morning.
In a series of tests on nearly 80 people, the researchers found that REM sleep increases the chances of someone being able to successfully solve a new problem involving creative associations – finding an underlying pattern behind complex information.
The volunteers were asked in a morning session to solve a series of creative problems. They were told to either sit on the problem until the afternoon by either resting and staying awake or by taking a nap monitored by the scientists to see whether it involved any REM sleep – it produces characteristic eye movements and brain-wave patterns.
In the afternoon, they were asked to solve the problems again. Those people who had enjoyed REM sleep improved significantly, by about 40 per cent, while the other volunteers who had not had REM sleep showed little if any improvement, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers suggest that it is not merely sleep itself, or the simple passage of time, that is important for the solving of a new problem, but the act of being able to fall into a state of REM sleep where the brain slips into a different kind of neural activity that encourages the formation of new nerve connections.
"We found that for creative problems that you've already been working on, the passage of time is enough to find solutions. However, for new problems, only REM sleep enhances creativity," said Sara Mednick of the University of California San Diego, who led the study.
