The 2011 BET Awards nominations were announced yesterday, and Keyshia Cole fans may have noticed that she was absent from the list, despite the release of her fourth album, Calling All Hearts, last December. Looks like Keyshia noticed, too, judging from her tweets last night: "All u guys say BET didn't set me up for any nominations? its like this. Been on the scene 7 years. I was 21 when I got signed. 7 # 1 records. No awards 4 none of them/still touring. It is Wht it is."
She continued, "These types of thing R the way they R. I'm not upset about any of it in any way. I hope everyone that goes has a wonderful time."
Then today, she wrote, "That awkward moment when u realize in everyone's eyes your not the s--t anymore. #POW. I've officially got the memo. Thank mtv/bet."
Cole's show, Keyshia Cole: The Way it Is, has aired on BET for three seasons. Click here to see a full list of the BET Award nominees and vote for the Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award.

I am 32 5'6 180 lbs carry most my weight in stomach and arms. I had my abs done yesterday June 3rd 2010. And so far I dont regret a thing! I was very nervous about the procedure and the pain afterwards but I am glad I went thru with it.
Day of Laser: I got to the office and took my meds then did 20 minutes of Zerona, after that they marked me took some before pictures and it was off to get the procedure done. By that time my meds had kicked in I had 2 Percasets and 2 Atavins. First up was several numbing shots, I had no issue with these because I have no issue with needles. I did feel the burning sensation on some of them like I had read in previous reviews but it was very quick. Up next was filling me up with the liquid which my Dr. assistant said was the most difficult part for most ppl, I had no issue with that at all! Then my Dr. melted the fat some areas were stubborn and she had to re-visit them later she did my stomach first then turned me on my sides to do those. About 20 minutes before the procedure was over it felt as though the meds were wearing off. But when I got my meds the assistant told me once they start suctioning it was kind of too late to get another Percaset but if I felt any pain prior to that they would give me one. Just my luck I had been thru suctioning on my stomach and 1 side already so I had to just deal with it. It wasnt constant pain just every now and then. I made it thru and went home to eat and take another 2 Percasets. I pretty much slept the rest of the day. I leaked a whole lot thru my pants and my shirt! Beware if you have carpet I took my pants off and got in the bed when I got up to go to the bathroom I left a horrible trail all over my carpet! At night I took 2 more percasets for pain so I could get a good night sleep.
Day 2 - Changed my pads out everything was soaked did just as my Dr had recommeneded and sat down to take off the garmet. So far only have taken 2 Tylenol Muscle Pain and Soreness. Still drifting in and out to sleep but pain is not bad at all.
Still swollen but very happy with results. I worried way too much and I am glad I decided to just deal with it and go ahead would do it all over again! My arms will be done in 3 weeks!

Hello, and thanks for writing in.
With limping in general, there are a few main categories of problems causing it: a fractured bone, dislocated joint, or a soft tissue injury (strain, sprain, etc.) There are a few other possible causes, such as a bite wound after an injury, pinched nerve or herniated disc in the neck or back.
To answer your question...YES, I would highly recommend getting X-rays taken to get more information about the bones and joints, since there are some abnormalities that can't be felt on exam. So, the X-rays will certainly help. Then, more specific treatment can be started, depending on what is found.
I hope this helps.

Tweaking the PRI
by Elizabeth Carrott Minnigh
Riding the train home to Washington, D.C., after a meeting in New York City earlier this week, I found myself immersed in a New Yorker article by Malcolm Gladwell, "The Tweaker: The Real Genius of Steve Jobs." The article contended that the real genius of Jobs was not in creating something new, but rather in tweaking existing products to make them better and more accessible. As I read the article, I began to draw a similar conclusion about the low-profit limited liability company (L3C).
The L3C did not create something new. The program-related investment (PRI) rules have been in place since 1969 and the ability to make a PRI in a limited liability company (LLC) has existed since the first LLC law was passed in Wyoming in 1977. When Robert Lang of Americans for Community Development and Marcus Owens of Caplin & Drysdale sat down to craft the proposal that would become the first L3C statute, they didn't start with a blank slate. Instead, they tweaked the LLC law to make it better and more accessible for private foundations looking to make a PRI. And I have continued the tweaking process while working on proposals that would become legislation in other states.
The bipartisan Philanthropic Facilitation Act of 2011 introduced by Reps. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) and Jared Polis (D-Colo.) is the next step in tweaking the laws to make PRIs a little better, a little more accessible for private foundations. The Act would not change the fundamentals of PRIs. Rather, it would increase their efficiency because the entity, including but not limited to L3Cs, would be able to voluntarily register with the IRS as a potential PRI recipient. Once that registration was approved, multiple foundation investors could use the approval to streamline their internal processes. Additionally, the Act would improve transparency by requiring registered entities to report separately and publicly on the PRIs they receive.
For those who think these little tweak to the laws regarding PRIs cannot be transformative, look around and see how many lives have been transformed by the tweaks of Steve Jobs.

Washington, Feb 6 (ANI): A new study examines why the lyrics of popular rap songs stereotype black women as 'oversexed jezebels,' 'asexual mammies' and 'gold diggers'.
Dr. Mia Moody at the Baylor University found that independent women in rap and rhythm and blues music are depicted as not being successful unless they are sexy, wealthy over-achievers.
And even if they are, they don't get much respect from male rappers, who often portray them as narcissistic or emasculating.
Many of today's popular songs imply that a woman should be gorgeous, physically fit, educated, moneyed and able to handle family, children and housework single-handedly, Moody said.
"If we do all that and pay the bills, it lets men off the hook," Moody said.
The study raises concerns that young people, especially teens, may try to emulate these standards.
Witness Drake's "Fancy:"
Hit the gym, step on the scale, stare at the number/ You say you droppin' ten pounds preparin' for summer/ And you don't do it for the man, men never notice/ You just do it for yourself you the (obscenity) coldest.
Male role models are not mentioned in rap lyrics, and the lyrics often ignore the fact that some women better themselves for personal gratification or to take better care of their children - not to impress a man or buy designer clothes, expensive hairstyles, manicures and pedicures, Moody said.
"Another sad truth is that women's aren't running record companies or are the major consumers of rap music. It's nave to assume women can undo the spread of sexism on their own. It's going to have to be a mutual understanding between both genders," she added.
Parents and educators must work together to combat sexism and unrealistic messages, said Jessica Foumena, a Baylor graduate student majoring in international journalism.
"It is important to look beyond the beat and catchy words," she said. (ANI)

AMC tach, voltage meter and neutral saftey switch.
Im just about finished getting my 74 Javelin back together. I am having a bit of trouble with tying up the loose ends of the wiring harness I installed. Specifically getting the Tach/Clock working, the Voltage meter hooked up and wiring in the neutral safety switch. The wiring harness industry caters to the big three and AMC mixed and matched from the big three making retrofitting an after-market harness a bit of a challenge.
The harness is set up for a tach. I have connected the tach wire to the coil but get no reading on the tach when I attach the wire inside the car. Im not sure if the Tach is bad or Im not doing something incorrect. Any idea how to test the tach and wire it if it is okay.
I have no idea how to hook up the voltage meter and there are not provisions in the harness to connect it. Any ideas on how to wire the original meter? It is not tied into the instrument cluster like most of the Big three. The meter has two posts I assume are positive and negative but I do not know where I should make the connections.
Im also clueless on how to wire in the neutral safety switch. The car has a 727 tranny with the standard chrysler NS Switch attached to the tranny. Im not sure how to wire in the relay into the ignition system and the NS Switch and get things to work. I do not have any way to test the old relay and would perfer to use a new relay. The tranny has a new neutral safely switch.
Doc here,
All three are pretty Simple installations..
The Tach will wire , RED to 12 volts FUSED, SWITCHED power. The BLACK Wire will go to a properly Bonded Ground. and the third Wire (usually Grey) will go to the - side of the coil..
To test it simply pull it and wire it to another car..If it registers , it's good to go.
The NSS switch, Locate it, then locate the "S" wire on the starter, back track that wire (if a kit, it will probably be a purple) as close to the switch as you can get..connect one side there, then connect the other side (going up to the ignition switch) to the other terminal.
Check your mechanical adjustment, and you should be good to go.
The Volt Meter is Very simple as well..just find ANY FUSED, SWITCHED , source of 12 volt power, and a properly bonded ground and connect..your done! That simple!
The Clock may be problematic upon itself..it may be properly hooked up but dirty inside, I'd check for power and ground at the clock first, and if good, consider a repair/cleaning or replacement.
Thanks for the response Doc.
I will work on getting it done when I get back from work at the end of the week.
I will test the tach tomorrow and if it works hook it up.
I learned that my "Volt Meter" is actually an "Ampmeter". After doing some forum searches I have decided I will not wire the ampmeter up. I will make a phone call tomorrow and get a quote on converting the ampmeter into a volt meter. This will make for an easy installation and less worry on smoking any wires if something in the ampmeter goes bad on me.
Doc my tranny is an AMC version of a Chrysler 727 torqueflight. The Neutral Safety Switch is combined with the Back-up Light Switch and screws into the tranny. It has three terminals two of which are used for the back-up lights. The center terminal is used for the Neutral Safety Switch and was orginally wired through a relay. I am at a loss on how to wire it into my harness beings it is only 1 wire.
Looks like time has taken its toll on the tach and the clock. I am going to send them with the ampmeter and have them all redone at the same time. Thanks for the replies Doc.
I guess tomorrow I will tackle the rear end as I have put it off long enough and I cant get the dash finished up until I get the stuff I'm sending out back.
Bummer about the tach and Clock..
Hope it won't cost too much to restore!
If so..let me know..I have a few short cuts...
Javelin360, there is an AMC TSM (Technical Service Manual -- what AMC called their factory manual) on-line at http://www.tocmp.com/manuals/AMC/197...ice/index.html. That has the wiring diagram and how the tach is wired. I believe it's a different type of tach than the pretty much standard one Doc described. The wiring is different -- it's an induction type, I think, doesn't just wire to the coil like newer ones do. The 73 TSM will be fine for the 74 -- no major changes in wiring or anything between those years. You might want to download the files and put it on a CD for later reference. Everything but the AC section is there.
According to my 74 TSM for AMC the Javelin has a "Signal type tach" . The manual indicates Gremlins have "In-Line type tach" I do not know the difference between the tachs. The wiring diagrams do not show engine bay connections. They just show the under-dash connections. Since I do not have the original harness in the car a lot of the diagrams have no meaning any longer.
Does anyone know what an "Inline tach" is?
On another note I purchased an aftermarket volt meter and disassembled it. I mounted the face plate from my old amp meter on the new volt meter. It bolted right into the old location and other than the needle being a bit different you can't tell it isn't factory. Granted the face plate does not show volts, as long as the needle is indicating zero my system is working properly.
I also disassembled the clock and all it appears to need is a set of contacts cleaned up. I'll clean them up tomorrow and see if it functions.
Well the clock and tach are now functional.
I cleaned up the clocks contacts and ground strap and it is working. If it goes south on me later I will replace it with a quartz movement that a fellow AMCer made me aware of.
I decided to test the tach one last time but using all of the proper connections in the cluster and it now functions. Out of the cluster it wouldn't do anything. Apparently there is a ballast resistor in the cluster that must be inplace for the thing to function properly.
Now if I could just get the neutral safety hooked up I would be a happy man.
NSS is super easy to do..
Just locate it, (usually on the column) and be sure you have the correct set of contacts..(they usually include Back up lamps too) and run the "S" wire from the starter from it to the switch, cut it and attach on one terminal, then attach the other terminal to the other end of the cut wire..that's it!

Palin Admin. Oversaw $26 Million ROAD to 'Nowhere'
Sept. 18: This post has been updated.
Construction on the Gravina Island Highway in April 2008 (Credit: Hall Anderson/Ketchikan News, AP Photo)
When Lois Epstein approached Gov. Sarah Palin during a July 2007 meeting, she says she had a simple request: pull the plug on the construction of a $26 million dead-end gravel road that she saw as a waste of federal money. The road was part of the $398 million project to link Ketchikan and its airport on Gravina Island known as the "Bridge to Nowhere," and an earmark inserted by Alaska's congressional delegation had provided the funding. But construction had begun in June, and it didn't seem to matter that the infamous bridge—to which the road would have led—would never be built. Every dollar spent on the project was a dollar wasted, Epstein thought.
Epstein, director of the nonpartisan Alaska Transportation Priorities Project, told ProPublica she handed Palin an editorial that had run the prior month in the Anchorage Daily News. The editorial, by Heritage Foundation fellow Ronald Utt, called the road a "wasteful" project with "little to no measurable benefit." It urged Palin to be "responsible and ethical" and "return the money to Washington" so it could be redirected to hurricane-ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi. Utt's piece reflected the consensus in Washington, D.C., and Alaska that no more money would be earmarked for the bridge project, which had become a symbol of pork-barrel spending.
"I gave her the Heritage Foundation piece and said this is not a good project and she should think about reappropriating the money," Epstein told ProPublica. Palin replied that her administration was "very close" on making a decision, Epstein said. Two months later, Palin announced the state would no longer pursue the $398 million design. The statement made no mention of the 3.2 mile access road to an empty beach, which by then was well underway.
Since her nomination as the Republican vice presidential candidate, Gov. Palin has stressed her reform credentials, singling out her handling of the "Bridge to Nowhere" as evidence. "As governor, I've championed earmark reform to stop Congress from wasting public money on things that don't necessarily serve the public interest," she said last week.
But a gravel road on an Alaskan island with 50 inhabitants doesn't serve the public interest, critics say. "This project isn't satisfying any specific transportation purpose or any public need," said Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense.
As ProPublica reported last week, Palin's administration is still planning to link Ketchikan (pop. 7,400) to its airport with the help of as much as $73 million in federal funds earmarked by Congress for the original "Bridge to Nowhere" project.
Palin declared in her acceptance speech she had told Congress, "'Thanks, but no thanks' to that Bridge to Nowhere," adding that if Alaska were to build such a project, the state would do so "ourselves." The campaign did not respond directly when asked by ProPublica whether Palin knew Alaska was stilling planning to use federal money to connect Ketchikan and Gravina Island.
Today, the McCain campaign issued a statement to ProPublica acknowledging that the project was ongoing and emphasizing that Palin had rejected the most expensive design for the bridge. The statement, however, did not address why Palin had not stopped construction of the $26 million road, which is called the Gravina Island Highway.
"Governor Palin opposed a wasteful, unwise, and irresponsible funding plan that was not the best means for fulfilling the local community's needs," said Maria Comella in an e-mailed statement. "Governor Palin understood that a more cost efficient, sensible solution could still be implemented to satisfy the economic and infrastructural demands of the community. The Department of Transportation is currently evaluating alternative plans to meet these same demands."
Alaska's Department of Transportation is currently analyzing nine different alternatives (six bridges and three ferries), only one of which connects with the recently completed Gravina Island Highway. The only other proposed solution that would use a substantial portion of the road is a bridge with a price tag of about $254 million, said Malcolm Menzies, an Alaska DOT official. The alternatives range from a low cost estimate of $80 million for one of the ferry proposals to about $360 million, Menzies said. CLICK HERE for a map of the access road, the original "Bridge to Nowhere" design and the alternatives being considered by the DOT.
Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein, a Democrat, faults the Palin administration for building the road, which he said some have taken to calling the "road to nowhere." But it would be an excellent site for a footrace, he said. "It's a nice flat road. It'll be perfect for a 10K race. You could be confident there wouldn't be any traffic." Construction is expected to be completed this week.
What became the notorious "Bridge to Nowhere" had its roots in plans to shorten the trip to the airport for tourists and residents of Ketchikan (population 7,400). In 2005, Alaska's congressional delegation won $223 million in earmarks for the bridge, which was expected to ultimately cost $398 million.
A campaign led by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to redirect the funds to a New Orleans bridge damaged by Hurricane Katrina failed. But Congress amended the legislation allowing most of the money to be used for any transportation project in Alaska.
For reasons that remain unclear, the bill left intact language requiring that $48 million be spent on "earthwork and roadway construction" for the Gravina Access Project.
According to Menzies, the Alaska DOT official, that meant the money could only be used to build projects directly associated with the $398 million bridge. The only alternative, Menzies said, was to return the money.
"I don't think there was any discussion about that," he said.
Such an attitude is typical of state DOTs, said Ashdown. They'll "move heaven and earth to make sure they can spend every dime given to them from the federal government through earmarks."
Menzies, however, argued that the road was not a waste. Even if it led to an empty beach, the road would help open the sparsely populated Gravina Island to development. And when it came to Alaska, "'nowhere' is a relative term," he said. "All of our roads to nowhere because they end in wilderness. That's just the way of Alaska."
Gov. Frank Murkowski (R) awarded a contract to build the road on Dec. 1, 2006, three days before Palin took office.
Palin could have canceled the contract upon taking office. The governor has that power, said Roger Wetherell, spokesman for Alaska's DOT, and Federal Highway Administration spokesman Doug Hecox said that he could think of "a number of examples" of states canceling projects begun by a previous governor's administration.
Moreover, the fact that the funds had been earmarked for that purpose doesn't mean that the state is forced to use them, Hecox said. The state could opt not to use the money, and Congress has the power to send it to other federal needs.
Alaska has so far used a total of about $41 million in federal funds for the road and related projects, Hecox said.
Lisa Schwarz contributed research to this article.
Update: Earlier this month, ThinkProgress posted video of Gov. Palin at a 2006 debate supporting construction of the road. "I'm not going to stand in the way of progress,"" she said in response to question about whether she'd cancel construction of the road. Opponent Andrew Halcro (I), however, said he would stop construction: "this isn't progress. This is a road to a bridge that will never be built." Here's the video:

Blond ponytail poking out the back of her baseball cap, bidder number five's leg started jiggling when the Ty prayer bear came on the auction block.
She was one of several dozen kids gathered for the first children's auction at the Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale in Kidron Saturday.
Toys, books, dolls, stuffed animals and more awaited bids funded by piggybank stash.
Number five clutched her cardboard card a little tighter and began waving it in the air.
$5. $10. Dollar by dollar, the total crept up. She hung on. The auctioneer seesawed between two diehard bidders.
$20. Number five looked up at her dad and they both nodded.
Finally, the gavel came down. Sold for $21 to bidder number five.
"Yes," she said, eyes bright and grin wide. Still in its plastic, the bear got an immediate hug.
Other successful bidders went home just as happy. A young boy with a summer haircut and no front teeth smiled big when his $21 bid earned him a model livestock trailer.
Although dad reined her in just short of a winning wallhanging bid, a pig-tailed little girl was even happier when she went home with a bright green Larry the Cucumber T-shirt and cassette tape that topped out at $19.
Like all the fund-raising at the 34th annual Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale, the kids' bids went toward Mennonite Central Committee projects, meeting human need around the world.
The agency, a cooperative effort of North American Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches, channels its resources in many directions including agricultural development, water conservation, health education, economic and technical projects, social services and peacemaking.

"Disaster relief gets the headlines," said Charles Geiser, a coordinator for the MCC's Great Lakes regional office in Kidron, "but we have a lot of ongoing projects as well."
Geiser pointed to ventures like the Back to School kits children can assemble for their peers in Honduras, Iraq, Haiti, Jordan, Liberia and the Ukraine.
These school supplies should be placed in a double drawstring bag: four spiral-bound or padded notebooks, 70-80 pages each (8 1/2-by-11 inches), four unsharpened number two pencils, one flexible ruler (30-centimeter and 12-inch markings), one large pink pencil eraser and one box of 16 to 27 crayons or 12 to 20 colored pencils.
The kits can be dropped off anytime at the storage barn by the Gerber Building, the bus garage, at Central Christian High School.
MCC's peacemaking efforts aren't in the public eye as much as, say, Bosnian refugee relief, but they are "very important nonetheless," Geiser said.
"In so many situations," he said, "unless something is done at the grassroots level, lasting peace doesn't happen."
The children's auction Saturday was just part of the action on the grounds of Central Christian High School. By early morning, quilt bids had surged as high as $2,600 and supplies of 25 cent flower seed packets were running low. The gavel at the wood auction was coming down on items from grandfather clocks to butterfly houses.
Food stands and the Swiss pantry were hopping as the noon hour drew near.
Self-help crafts were doing a brisk business, along with plant, needlework and book sales.
Last year's sale raised more than $200,000 for MCC's efforts to relieve human suffering, because "Right now you have plenty and can help them; then at some other time they can share with you when you need it. In this way each will have as much as he needs" (2 Corinthians 8:14).

Port St Johns
Port St Johns beach © garethphoto
Port St Johns is a good travel base in the Transkei region and has become the central tourism hub on the Wild Coast, with famously lovely beaches, great surfing opportunities, fantastic fishing (deep sea and shore angling) and some fun and atmospheric backpackers lodges for budget travellers. Port St Johns is a town of about 7,000 people, situated at the mouth of the Umzimvubu River. The estuary is one of the main reasons why this stretch of coast is so picturesque, but sadly it is also a contributing factor to the frequency of shark attacks on the town's beaches, which make swimming and surfing a bit nerve-racking despite the idyllic conditions. The Umzimvubu River flows through an impressive sandstone gorge referred to as the 'Gates of St John' and visitors should make the effort to drive up to Mount Thesiger, just above the town, to marvel at the stunning views of the estuary from on high (some of the backpackers and lodges offer the ride up for sundowners free of charge). Dense, jungle-like vegetation surrounds the town, traversed by some scenic walking trails, and the town itself is endearingly laid back and sleepy, with an abidingly Xhosa cultural flavour and some basic shops and bohemian-style restaurants.

Questions & Answers about this model powered by
my amana front loading washer won't unlock the door?
Amana front load washer. I shut it off then tried to start over and that didn't work. I unplugged for 1 minute then plugged back in, nothing. not sure what to do next????
Posted April 28, 2010
Lyle W , April 29, 2010
you may need to run a drain and spin cycle to remove the water from the previous cycle. try starting this type of cycle to see if the washer will drain the water and spin. this may reset the control.
press in firmly on the door to make sure that it is closed properly.
make sure that the control lock is not turn on. this would prevent the control from accepting any button pushes.
if these tips don't help, i recommend that you resubmit your question with additional details and the full model number if your amana front load washer. you may not be able to determine the model number if you cannot open the washer door. the model number is normally around the opening of the door. if you cannot supply the model number, send a picture or detailed description so that we can try to determine the model that you have. this will help us provide more specific troubleshooting for this problem.

my amana nfw7200tw front load washer won't release the door lock for me to get my clothes out. i can clearly see that the washer still has a little water in it. this was is only 2 years old. i really need my items out of that washer and i don't want to force the door open and end up damaging it further. i am at my wits end with this washer what an i do to get it to open and continue to open.
Mike, December 01, 2011
i have the same problem, i think my kid overloaded the washing machine. now the front door is locked, and whenever i press the dial to start it the mashine makes a buzzing sound but nothing else happens. the model number on my machine is nfw7200tw and there is another number wo1v54a5251472r. if i could get the machine open i could take out half of the clothes and try it again but i can't get the door to unlock.

Recent Nature Coast grad Caleb Martin signed with Georgia Highlands College in Rome, Ga. this week.
Martin (6-foot-7), a small forward for the basketball team that reached the state semifinals last season with a 29-2 record, has good touch from the perimeter. He averaged 6.3 points and 5.7 rebounds while playing all 31 games for Nature Coast.
His standout games came during the Brighthouse Holiday Tournament in Clearwater. He had his lone double double of the season in the tournament opener, a 77-49 win over Boca Ciega in which he scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds. In the second game, he scored a season-high 15 in a 67-41 victory over Riverview.
Georgia Highlands, a community college, is just beginning its basketball program. Coach Phil Gaffney has averaged more than 20 wins a season during his career and coached six junior college All-Americans.

SF Officials Warn of Measles Exposure on BART
San Francisco health officials are warning that thousands of people may have been exposed to measles last week.
They say a U.C. Berkeley student with a confirmed case of measles attended classes at Berkeley and also rode the BART mass transit system.
Anyone who also used BART between Feb. 4 and Feb. 7 during the morning commute or late evening hours may have been exposed to the highly contagious virus, which spreads through coughs and sneezes.
"Most people are immune, but we really want to make sure that if people have these symptoms that they do let their health care provider know it could be measles," Erika Jenssen, the communicable disease program chief of Contra Costa County, said.
People who have never been vaccinated against measles are most at risk.
Anyone who hasn't been vaccinated or who develops symptoms like high fever and a runny nose is urged to see a doctor.

OutlookReminder Project Abstract
OutlookReminder is an open source project for adding appointment phone reminders to Microsoft Outlook.
Please note that if you do not have Microsoft Outlook, you can use Voicent AutoReminder for telephone appointment reminders. The software is widely used in hospitals and medical offices for patient appointment reminders. A free, shareware edition of the software can be downloaded from Voicent's web site.
The project is written as a Microsoft Outlook COM add-on. The software utilizes Voicent Gateway, an W3C standard based VoiceXML gateway, to make appointment reminder phone calls.
The telephone reminder capability solves the problem of not getting the appointment reminder from screen popup or email when you are away from your computer. The project adds a Reminder Call tab to the new appointment window as shown below. To set up a phone reminder, all you need to do is select telephone reminder for the appointment, and choose Call me or specify another phone number under Call This Number. At the time for the reminder call, the system automatically makes a reminder call to the phone number specified.
All FREE
OutlookReminder is freeware. The shareware version of Voicent AutoReminder (contains Voicent Gateway) is also free.
And Open Source
You can also get the source code for OutlookReminder.

I love to hear the songs of the 82nd and the 101st. Thanks.
"Get out of that door you Goddamn piece of shit" and than I felt the kick of the boot on my skinny ass and the small of my back-it broke my grasp of the tower door and out I went screaming like a little girl.
Every morning, 0630 on Ardennes (now Longstreet) revile, 82d Song and the 101st songs over the loud speakers while we went on our runs...*sigh* I hate Fort Hood..
Thanks for embedding my youtube vid! It also links to "Blood Upon the Risers."

Also available for purchase at amazon.com
Plumbing leaks under kitchen sink cabinets happen all too often and typically go undetected until significant water damage and mold growth has occurred. This is because most plumbing leaks are slow in nature and the water that leaks is absorbed by the porous base of the cabinet. It doesn't take much time for the absorbed water to warp the cabinet and contribute to mold growth.
Beyond Compare Innovations, LLC is proud to bring you Mr. Cabi-Shield™ and Mrs. Know-Leaks™ as your best solution in under-the-sink cabinet protection. These amazing products will be available for your home in the Fall of 2009.
U.S. Patent Pending Mr. Cabi-Shield protects cabinet bases from water damage and mold growth that occurs from small and slow under-the-sink plumbing leaks by shielding the cabinet bottom with a waterproof mat and diverting leaking water to the front, where water accumulates in a holding area. When placed in Mr. Cabi-Shield's holding area, Mrs. Know-Leaks™ (sold separately) detects the presence of water and alerts the homeowner, much like a smoke alarm detects and alerts the home owner of the presence of smoke.
Once the presence of water has been detected, the water that has accumulated in the holding area can easily be absorbed with a towel and the leak repaired. All of this can happen without the hassle and expense of a damaged and moldy kitchen cabinet. Cabinets that have already been damaged from leaks can be protected from additional damage from future leaks with Mr. Cabi-Shield™ and Mrs. Know-Leaks™ as well.
Mr. Cabi-Shield also takes into account the homeowner's practical needs in using the sink base cabinet for storage. Placement of stored items requires a level surface. With this in mind, Mr. Cabi-Shield™ has been designed with top ridges that mirror the levelness of the cabinet base that it protects.
Mr. Cabi-Shield™ will currently only properly fit 36 inch kitchen sink cabinets with internal dimensions of 34 inches wide by 22 inches deep. This size represents the vast majority of kitchen sink cabinets in the United States. Mr. Cabi-Shield™ and Mrs. Know-Leaks™ may be used in bathroom cabinets that have the same dimensions. Order your Mr. Cabi-Shield™ and Mrs. Know-Leaks™ today and say goodbye to damaged, moldy cabinets forever! CABI-SHIELD U.S. PATENT NO. D619405 OTHER U.S. AND FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING

Today our church hosted a kids carnival and I was in charge of organizing all of the kids games. I wanted to share some of my ideas with you today! A carnival is fun for kids of a variety of ages and adults as well.
Here are some of my game and activity ideas...
A ticket booth at the entrance is a must. You can purchase a large roll of tickets online or in stores inexpensively. Give each child a certain amount of tickets to use for games.
Bean bag toss is one of my favorites. I used sheets of poster board to paint clown faces and made a hole where the mouth should go as a target. I then simply attached them to large cardboard boxes and cut a hole in the box as well.
Bulls eye- I attached a plastic cup to poster board and attempted to paint circles around it {painting a perfect circle isn't that easy}. You can have the kids try to toss ping pong balls into the cup.
A photo booth is also a lot of fun. We assigned one person to be our photographer for the day. I hung a large red tablecloth as a backdrop and then had a box of silly props the kids could use in their picture. The dollar store is great for this!
We also had a face painting booth! You just need a talented artist willing to do the painting!
Ring toss is another good game. I used plastic rings I ordered online and 2 liter pop bottles. The more 2 liter bottles you can get the better!
Lastly we had a kissing booth! I promise it isn't what it sounds like! I filled a jar with Hershey kisses and let each person write down there guess for how many were inside. Winner gets all the kisses!
Here are some photos I took of the games I made and a few from today's carnival!
For the food you can serve hot dogs, bags of popcorn, and of course cotton candy!
Throwing a large scale party is definitely a lot of work, but if you start planning in advance it helps. I'm looking forward to my next party which is in just a couple of weeks. My daughter's ninth birthday is coming up and we have been planning it for a few months now. You will have to wait to see what theme we are doing though!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I Just bought a 1993 GMC P 3500 step van. What should I know about general maintenance and upkeep. I have never owned a Vehicle with a diesel engine
before. I had Intermittent problems with power bringing it home over a 500 mile stretch. Some times it would barely do 45 MPH up a slight incline and
other times it would go 60 up a steeper hill. What is causing that? The guy that I bought it from, said that it had 105 horse power and that it got
17MPG. The Engine is a B3.9L/4BT engine with a 4 speed plus low and rear manual and an inter-cooled turbo on it.Engine Data Tag says it was made in 93'
and I think the numbers on the tag are 921918 Is it possible to give it more HP or Torque and/or fuel mileage? Also, how often should the air/fuel and
oil filters and oil be changed. Is there anything else that should be tuned up. Any help or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Most Alle-Kiski Valley municipalities require keeping sidewalks cleared of snow
The backs of Alle-Kiski residents might already ache from all the snow shoveling they've done this winter, but failing to keep their sidewalks clean might hurt their wallets even more.
Last week, Aspinwall police issued 78 $25 tickets to residents who didn't remove snow in a timely matter.
Most Valley municipalities require their residents to remove snow from their sidewalks after a snowfall.
Oakmont property owners have 12 hours from the end of a snowfall to have their sidewalks cleared, Oakmont Borough Manager Lisa Cooper Jensen said.
Oakmont can impose fines reaching $600 if sidewalks aren't cleared, Jensen said.
"We have cited repeat offenders," she said. "We send residents who might not be keeping up with their shoveling letters asking them to be more vigilant.
"Usually our repeat offenders who get fined have been ignoring these warnings for years."
Jensen said the borough, itself, will clear any sidewalk that isn't cleared in a timely manner and poses a threat to pedestrians and charge the property owner.
In Tarentum, Borough Manager Bill Rossey said residents have 24 hours after the snow stops to clear their sidewalks.
"I'm a walker," he said. "I walk the sidewalks almost every day through Tarentum — all the way to the mill through Brackenridge — and some of the sidewalks are in pretty bad shape."
Rossey said the borough's code enforcement officer cite residents for not shoveling their walks, and those fines range between $25 and $600.
But Rossey said the borough usually issues a "pink slip" warning residents that they have to clear their sidewalks before they fine them.
If the sidewalk remains snow covered, then the borough issues a fine.
Freeport Council President Donald Rehner said his borough is reviewing its nuisance ordinance policies, including the one for removing snow from sidewalks.
"These were written 15, 20 years ago," he said. "A fine might only be $20, so someone thinks it's worth the $20 not to do it.
"But, it costs the borough more than $20."
Freeport residents have 24 hours to clear their walks, Rehner said.
"We usually have a pretty good response," he said. "There's always a few who don't clean them but, for the most part, we haven't had a huge problem."
Rehner said the borough tries to find way to help elderly people who might not be able to clear their own walks. "If it's someone older, we'll try and find someone to send over who will help them out," he said.
Dennis Scarpiniti, New Kensington's city clerk, said the city doesn't have too many problems with snow removal.
"The only place it's a real problem is downtown, where some of the absentee owners and vacant buildings are," he said.
Scarpiniti said New Kensington residents remove snow just fine; it's where they put it that can pose a problem.
"We have had some issues with people throwing their snow in the streets," he said.

My G.I.Bill benefits became no longer usuable in 2007, that is when my 10 years of use was up. Luckily I was able to utilize some of it, but did not put a dent into it.
The Hazlewood Act alows us Texans (if eligible) to get up to 150 hours paid for college. It also states, it pays for exams such as CLEP.
Does the Hazlewood Act cover credit by examination?
Yes. Since Texas Education Code 54.203 (a) refers to an exemption from all dues, fees and charges the exemption would include charges for credit by examination.
I guess my question is, with the assumption you would have to be enrolled at the Texas approved college or university, how would you go about getting the CLEP exams paid for if you did not want to enroll. Has anyone found a loop hole? Not exactly something I want to approach a community college with, but possible someone has had the nerve to do just that.

Taïko - Percussions japonaises (dès 8 ans)
avec Remi Clemente
The first signs of the taiko date back approximately 2000 years in Japan, where it was most probably introduced from Korea or China. Initially used to reinforce prayers to the gods, the taiko was refined in the Edo Era, some 400 years ago, when it became a military instrument used to motive troops, as well as an instrument played at celebrations and rituals
Yet it was only after World War Two that the taiko became popular. Japan wished to restore the prestige of its cultural past, and accordingly concerts, stages and performances started to spread. Professional groups quickly formed on national and international stages. The famous Taiko Kodo, for example, has only existed for 25 years.
Today in Japan, we can hear taiko at local fairs, professional shows and during certain religious ceremonies.
Rémi Clemente began learning the taiko during a stay in Japan. His teacher, Tamada Sugeo, is a drummer living in Kawasaki, a town close to Tokyo. After this Japanese adventure, Rémi returned to Switzerland with a drum. A few months later, a second drum arrived and on it went – today the taiko fever continues and is something he wishes to share.
The drums are made of cow skin and heavy, hard carved wood. They're played with thick sticks and the impact is impressive. Training on the drums follows, as closely as possible, in the style of my Japanese teacher, Tamada-san: warm-up, strike exercises and then pieces.

Shown Here:
Introduced in Senate (04/02/1980)
Arctic North Slope National Conservation Area Act - Title I: Short Title, Policy, and Purposes - States that the purposes of the Congress in enacting this Act are to: (1) establish the Arctic North Slope National Conservation Area in the State of Alaska; (2) encourage and promote the prompt and orderly leasing of lands for exploration, development, and production of the oil and gas resources of the Area; (3) provide protection, consistent with multiple use management of the Area, of other resources of the Area; (4) provide opportunities for the continued subsistence use of the Areas as an element of multiple use; and (5) create an independent, wholly federally owned corporation to expedite exploration, development, and production of the oil and gas resources located within the Area.
Title II: Establishment and Planning of the Area - Redesignates the area known as the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska as the Arctic North Slope National Conservation Area to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. Withdraws and reserves subject to valid existing rights, all lands within the exterior boundaries of such Area from all forms of entry and disposition under the public land laws, including the mining and mineral leasing laws.
Directs the Secretary to prepare a long-range land-use plan for the management of the Area. Requires such plan to provide for: (1) a leasing program for the exploration for, and development, production, and transportation of, oil and gas from the Area; (2) the protection of surface resources of the Area; (3) the maximum protection of surface values within specified locations; (4) the protection of opportunities for continued subsistence use of the Area; and (5) any other resource values in the Area.
Allows such plan to be amended or revised as necessary. Requires, in any event, review initially no later than five years from the date of publication of the plan and subsequently every ten years thereafter.
Title III: Lease Exploration Permits and Leasing Authority - Authorizes the Secretary to conduct, or to allow to be conducted by contract or permit, geological and geophysical explorations including the drilling of exploratory wells for oil and gas in the Area.
Authorizes the Secretary to grant to the highest responsible qualified bidder or bidders by competitive bidding, under regulations promulgated in advance, any oil and gas lease within the Area. Requires the Secretary, within 90 days prior to notice of any lease sale, to establish rules to govern the calculation of net profits.
Directs that the lease tracts shall be established by the Secretary and may, to the extent practicable, encompass identified geological structures.
Specifies that each lease shall be issued for an initial period of up to 10 years and may be extended for so long thereafter as oil or gas is produced from the lease in paying quantities, or reworking operations on producing wells are conducted.
Requires the Secretary, at least 60 days prior to the first lease sale under this Act, to prescribe and make effective a rule which prohibits the bidding for any right to develop crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the Area by any person if more than one major oil company, more than one affiliate of a major oil company, or a major oil company and any affiliate of a major oil company, has or have a significant ownership interest in such person.
Provides for a review by the Attorney General, in consultation with the Federal Trade Commission, of each notice of a proposed lease sale before the acceptance of bids and the issuance of leases based on such bids.
Requires the holder of any such oil or gas lease to submit, prior to commencing exploration and development activities, an exploration or development plan as appropriate to the Secretary for approval.
Directs the Secretary to require any lessee operating under an approved exploration or development plan to obtain a permit prior to drilling any well.
Provides for the suspension of any operation or activity, including production by the Secretary at the request of a lessee, to facilitate proper development of a lease or to allow for the construction or negotiation for use of transportation facilities, or if the Secretary determines that there is a threat of substantial waste or serious, irreparable, or immediate harm or danger to life, to health, to property, or to surface resources.
Allows the Secretary to cancel any such lease if it is determined that: (1) the lessee has acted with gross negligence, or in willful violation of such lease, including violation of diligence requirements; or (2) continued activity pursuant to such lease could cause substantial waste or serious harm or damage to life, to health, to property, or to surface resources; the threat of waste, harm or damage will not disappear or decrease to an acceptable extent within a reasonable period or time; or the advantages of cancellation outweigh the advantages of continuing such lease in force.
Requires any lessee or permittee conducting any exploration for, or development or production of, oil or gas pursuant to this Act to provide the Secretary access to all data and information obtained from such activity. Requires the Secretary to prescribe regulations to: (1) assure that the confidentiality of privileged or proprietary information received by the Secretary will be maintained; and (2) set forth the time periods and conditions which shall be applicable to the release of such information.
Requires the holder of a lease under this Act to maintain all places of employment within the lease area in compliance with regulations intended to protect persons, property and the environment, and to allow prompt access at the site of any operation to any Federal officers to monitor or examine such activities to determine whether there is a violation of the lease, threat to health or safety or adverse environmental effects from the operations.
Sets forth penalties for the violation of any provisions of this Act, any term of a lease, license, permit, or other grant of authority issued pursuant to this Act, or any regulation or order issued pursuant to this Act.
Title IV: Other Administrative Provisions - Requires the Secretary to administer the provisions of this Act and to prescribe such rules, regulations, and orders as may be deemed necessary to carry out such provisions.
Allows the Secretary to require a performance bond to enforce any of the requirements of this Act or regulations issued hereunder.
Allows previously existing cabins, shelters, or other facilities used for subsistence purposes to continue and be maintained or replaced subject to such restrictions as the Secretary deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act.
Requires the United States to pay from its receipts under this Act any amount equal to two percent of the value of the production of oil and gas saved, removed, and sold from the Area, plus two percent of all other Federal lease revenues received pursuant to this Act, into the Alaska Native Fund until such time as the final sum of $500,000,000 has been paid into the fund whether from this Act or from any other authorized sources.
Declares that all other receipts from sales, rentals, bonuses and royalties on mineral leases issued pursuant to this Act shall be paid into the Treasury of the United States.
Specifies that nothing in this Act shall be construed as terminating any valid lease, permit, patent, right-of-way, or other land use, right or authorization existing in the Area on the date of enactment of this Act.
Directs the Secretary to continue operation of the South Barrow gas field and such other fields as may be necessary to supply gas to the Native Village of Barrow and other communities and installations.
Directs the Secretary to establish an Arctic North Slope National Conservation Area Advisory Council in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.
Title V: Establishment of Corporation - Establishes the National Petroleum Reserve Development Corporation. Declares that such Corporation shall enjoy perpetual succession unless and until dissolved by Act of Congress. Sets forth the general powers the Corporation shall have in carrying out the purposes of this Act.
Requires the Corporation to retain a firm or firms of nationally recognized public accountants who shall prepare and report an annual audit of the accounts of the Corporation. Authorizes the General Accounting Office to conduct such audits and to report to Congress, as such Office shall deem necessary or as the Congress may request, but not less than every three years.
Title VI: Authorization of Corporation Activity - Grants the Corporation the exclusive rights to explore for, develop, and produce all oil and natural gas found within the Area located near Umiat, Alaska for a period of 100 years, subject to the provisions of this Act. Authorizes the Corporation to acquire the exclusive right to explore for, develop, and produce all oil and natural gas found within the Area and other specified tracts of land for a period of 100 years.
Declares that the Corporation shall have such access on, and across, the land surface of such areas as it deems necessary for exploration, development, production or related activities.
Directs the Corporation to utilize all reasonable exploration techniques and to undertake the orderly development and production of discovered oil and natural gas in such a manner as to optimize the production, avoid waste, and otherwise prudently develop and produce oil and natural gas with the financial resources of the Corporation.
Authorizes the Corporation to use, or to permit others to use, any of the oil or natural gas produced by the Corporation for purpose of supplying the energy needs related to Corporation activities.
Authorizes the Corporation to sell any part, or all, of the natural gas or oil produced by the Corporation to any purchaser for the current market value of such oil or natural gas, subject to applicable Federal regulation.
Allows the Corporation to sell, or enter into exchange agreements, for oil or natural gas only with domestic producers and purchasers.
Authorizes the Corporation to purchase, or lease, such equipment as it may determine to be necessary for the exploration, development or production of oil and natural gas.

Authorizes the Corporation to issue, solely to the United States, acting by and through the Secretary of the Treasury, non-interest-bearing notes and other obligations of the Corporation for a period of years determined by the Corporation but not to exceed twenty years, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000.
Title VIII: Department Authorizations - Authorizes appropriations to the Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of purchasing notes and obligations of the Corporation.
Directs the Secretary of Energy to purchase, or exchange for, any oil produced by the Corporation prior to purchasing any oil from any other party for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.

There is nothing like it. You have an idea, and you have the stage for a minute, or two, or five. You're on a mission to sell yourself, your vision, and your team. There is no room for error, and no room for mediocrity.
You need to be the number one advocate of your product. You need to love it, and you need to show how much you believe in it. You need to be passionate about it. Passion is contagious, and the only way you are going to win the crowd over.
With passion, you need to deliver a clear vision. You need to show that you are captaining a plane with a clear destination, and that it would be a mistake not to come along for the ride. That means really understanding your product and getting the basics right:
- Why are you creating the product or service, who is it serving and how big is the market?
- Why your solution? what's so magical about it that competition can't replicate?
- How will you make the idea a reality?
- Why your team can take it forward and succeed?
Get those figured out and take the 2 minutes you will have, mix in Passion, Confidence, Clarity and Keep it Simple.
Demo'ers shorten up the above, make it quick and focus on your demo. Show us your product and go through a few scenarios that really showcase your top features. Check out Demo 2011 pitches for some examples. Be very clear and very precise – that means Practice! Practice! Practice!
And now, we will leave you with this –
"If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days [of preparation]; if half an hour, two days [of preparation]; if an hour, I am ready now." – Woodrow Wilson

Fox & Friends hosts prove they've learned nothing from irresponsible madrassa reporting
Blog ››› ››› ERIC SCHROECK
Back in January 2007, Fox & Friends ran with the false online story that Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim and attended a madrassa as a child in Indonesia.
This prompted then-Fox News executive John Moody to reportedly state that the Fox News hosts who ran with the story "violated one of our general rules, which is know what you are talking about. ... They reported information from a publication whose accuracy we didn't know." Moody also wrote in a memo to staff regarding the madrassa story: "For the record: seeing an item on a website does not mean it is right. Nor does it mean it is ready for air on FNC."
The Fox & Friends hosts have clearly learned nothing from that stunningly irresponsible incident.
As Media Matters noted earlier, Fox & Friends this morning hosted Newsmax columnist John LeBoutillier to peddle his new self-published book, The Obama Identity: A Novel (Or Is It?), which LeBoutillier described as a story about CIA operatives traveling the world discovering secrets about Obama. LeBoutillier said that his book is "fiction" but includes "so much real stuff."
Either the Fox & Friends crew didn't do its homework on LeBoutillier and his book, or they simply just didn't care. During the segment, LeBoutillier promoted the birther conspiracy claim that Obama's step-grandmother has said that Obama was born in Kenya and cited the claim as an example of the "real stuff in this book." Of course, this claim has been debunked, and the Fox & Friends hosts provided absolutely no pushback against it.
Fox & Friends provided airtime for a guest to peddle his self-published, birther-tinged book, then offered zero pushback when he promoted a debunked online theory that Obama was born in Kenya. It's obvious that the hosts have learned nothing from their irresponsible madrassa reporting.
