Mobile archive
The web has changed. Where once we had a fair idea of how people accessed the web (via a desktop computer at home or in the office) now things are more challenging. With a plethora of devices from smartphones to internet enabled televisions, we do not know where, when or how people are going online. Mobile devices in particular have changed the landscape and we need to move with the times.

Choosing an appropriate mobile solution
I've been thinking a lot recently about the different scenarios that clients present you with when they come looking for a mobile solution.

Customer Service Rep and Supervisor did nothing to correct this con job. Lost me forever as a customer. Registered a complaint with the BBB for fraudulent/misleading advertising.

- - Drying Wet Deck Core with Acetone (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/37476-drying-wet-deck-core-acetone.html)
Drying Wet Deck Core with Acetone
I was reading in a Don Casey book that you can dry up a small portion of wet core by drilling shallow holes and dumping in acetone. The acetone should combine with the water and evaporate. But it says to use caution as acetone is highly flamable. I was wondering if anyone has done this or tried this method and how it worked out. Thanks!
I've never tried acetone, but I have seen denatured alcohol used. Not a chemist so I don't completely understand how it works, but I've seen it work in electronics. Don't know why it wouldn't work on wood or other material.
Never tried it or seen it done. I would be a bit nervous about trying it, as the acetone breaks down the resins in the fibreglass. I imagine that when it mixes with the water it stabilises and is no longer antagonistic, but I would worry that not all of the acetone got mixed with water and that it was in there slowly weakening the glass...the denatured alcohol sounds like a better bet...
well acetone evaporates really quickly so it would dry hopefully before damaging the glass or epoxy.
The theory is that the acetone displaces the water and then rapidly evaporates, leaving the area dry and clean. What Don Casey is describing is using the acetone to dry the area after reaming out the wet core via the "drill and fill" method. Mr. Casey's book aside, this job abides no short cuts. If it's a small area, by all means use acetone before injecting thickened epoxy - but you HAVE to remove all of the wet core first and acetone won't do that by itself. Tenting a heat lamp can also work.
If it's a larger area, remove the skin, recore and reglass.
BTW, the acetone is rather dangerous, being quite flammable... so if you're going to try this route... be very careful to ventilate the area well. I would think that alcohol would be safer than acetone, as it is far less agressive and far less likely to attack the fiberglass.
I tried it briefly with an area of damp plywood before deciding that the better plan was just to remove and replace the wood involved. It did rapidly make an obvious difference in the dampness, and dried rather quickly, but the fumes remained for a while despite having arranged careful ventilation so I went on to plan B.
What is considered a small enough area to use this or the alcohol approach with? Also anyone done anything else to dry core material with out removing the core? Thanks!
The real problem is that it is very hard to accellerate drying out the core material. Even using Acetone or Alcohol isn't going to help unless the acetone/alcohol can get to the soaked areas... and unless you're planningon drilling lots of holes, you'll still have areas of core that is still damp/wet even after quite some time. Doing it properly, using heat and vacuum will help get rid of the deeper moisture, but still requires time.
So if I drill holes in the area 1.5 inches apart or whatever is specified in the Don Casey book. I take out the damaged material with allen wrench on the drill or bent nail and vaccum it out, then I can dry it with alcohol. But the question is how much time will be required to dry it do you think?

About bobmorning
Give it to Kozinski in the 9th, this ought to be fun to watch him make short work of this non-sense.
I love reading his decisions and commentary.
Just sent a 1 to my wife. Got this in return:
Your payment is being reviewed because of regulations. We'll send an email when it's complete or if we need more information.
Send a $1 paypal payment to someone. Put cuba and castro in the memo.
We could bury them in OFAC reporting hell.
I live in PA, this state is a bit screwed up.
Here is a news story to support this comment:
http://www.wpxi.com/news/vehicle-registration-stickers-will-be-a-thing-of-the-past-in-pa/745 63459
They are foregoing the registration stickers on the license plates starting in 2017 as they are going to use the money saved to purchase more ALPR scanners and technology so they can flag you for expired registration via the ALPR database lookup in real time.
Great now every po-dunk town in PA with a police force will want this technology so they have a reason to pull you over.
Sometimes technology sucks.
I can just see the proliferation of self signed certs which will provide NO assurance that the communication channel is truly secure. The government is notorious for using self signed certs internally why would we expect the externally facing sites to do anything different?
Rural PA, DSL only, I wish I could get 4 Mbps minimum.
Heck I'm lucky if I can get 3 Mbps on a good day and if the stars are aligned. And I am buying extra for the 6Mbps plan.
CenturyLink! You listening???
I got out of DHS in April 2012. Couldn't deal with the ineptness and waste. Went back to civilian work.
She was one of the rare professionals in DHS. I worked with her on many Privacy Impact Assessments and Privacy Threat Assessments.
She gets it, unfortunately there are too few of her types in the federal workforce.
For the NSA (good luck on reading this):
This reminds of the days of the SCO hijinks and antics. Good entertainment while sitting on long conf calls; feel bad for the poor souls that are having to defend themselves.
Hopefully judge will grant them some relief by "loser pays attorney fees"?
Jeppesen (a division of Boeing) is huge in the flight planning marketplace. Their technology pre-dates FlightPrep.
Unfortunately for Flight Prep and fortunately for general aviation it is a pretty small community; I can't believe that this company won't be hurt by the negative publicity and commentary on their boneheaded tactics.
AOPA should weigh in on this.

LAKELAND, FL (August 26, 2016) - The City of Lakeland will be starting a shoreline stabilization and restoration project with construction beginning September 12th on the south side of Lake Hollingsworth in the vicinity of the public access boat ramp. The project is expected to be completed by January 31, 2017. The public access boat ramp and parking lot will remain open during the project.
The shoreline in this location has experienced significant erosion and destabilization over recent years contributing to the measurable loss of shoreline area, exposure of tree root systems and subsequent loss of several trees.
Laurie Smith, Manager of Lakes & Stormwater said, "If left unabated, additional erosion and loss of shoreline would continue. We will be installing a low profile sea wall constructed of Truline brand hybrid recycled materials specially designed to stabilize the shoreline and prevent additional erosion."
Three sets of concrete steps will be set into the seawall for access to the lake. The City of Lakeland Lakes & Stormwater Division met with several user groups in researching shoreline stabilization solutions. Custom Built Marine of Port St. Lucie, FL was awarded the contract for the seawall installation project at a cost of $192,000.
Lakeland, FL (August 25, 2016) – The Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) is proud to announce that one of its long serving firefighters, Lieutenant Matt Allan Brown, will be recognized on August 31, 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio as The American Legion's National Firefighter of the Year.
This distinguished award will be presented at The American Legion's 98th Annual Convention held at Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center.
The award is highly prestigious and is only given to one firefighter in the nation per year. The American Legion explains that "The award recognizes those firefighters who have selflessly distinguished themselves over and above their normal duties predominantly though service activities, professional achievements, and heroic acts".
Lieutenant Brown was selected because of his high level of involvement and service in the Lakeland community outside of his duties as a firefighter, his dedication in service while at the department, and for several heroic actions while off duty. Matt serves the department as a Lieutenant as well as the department's Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team coordinator and SWAT Paramedic team coordinator. He is also highly involved in the community through his work as part of the Lakeland Rotary Club and is a graduate of Leadership Lakeland, Class XXXIII.
One of the heroic incidents that led to this award was when Lieutenant Brown stepped in to provide medical aid while off duty in an incident which involved an officer being shot by a suspect while in pursuit. The second event took place in a local supermarket parking lot, where an elderly patient had a medical episode in a moving vehicle that proceeded to crash into parked vehicles. Lieutenant Brown, once again while off duty, sprang into action to assist the patient and contain the incident.
These heroic actions led to local and state level awards in 2015 for Lieutenant Brown prior to the national award he will accept August 31.

LAKELAND, FL (August 25, 2016) - The City of Lakeland is very pleased to announce that Lakeland Senior Living, LLC d/b/a Lake Gibson Village has donated an 18-acre parcel of land south of Carpenter's Way to the City of Lakeland Parks & Recreation Department. The 18-acre parcel, valued at $2.25 million will be developed into a neighborhood park. Evangel Christian School used a portion of the complex and the sports fields until it closed in 2006. The existing fields have been vacant and in dire need of maintenance ever since.
Lake Gibson Village purchased the vacant Without Walls Church property and surrounding 66 acres to develop Lake Gibson Village Senior Living Community. Phase one of the development includes the restoration of the former historic Carpenters Home, which has been transformed into 142 independent senior living apartments with many of the original architectural details preserved. Residents will begin moving in this month. Phase two, which is currently in the early stages of development, will include new construction of separate assisted living and memory care buildings as well as additional independent living residences.
"We are excited about the City's plans for the property and happy that the planned amenities will be enjoyed by the entire community," said Renee Tucker, CEO of Lake Gibson Village and spokesperson for the owners.
City Manager Tony Delgado said, "Earlier in the year, Lake Gibson Village agreed to lease the sports fields to the City of Lakeland for $1 per year. This local agreement started dialogue for something much bigger and now we are excited to share, not only a generous gift but our vision of a neighborhood park."
Bob Donahay, City of Lakeland Parks & Recreation Director said, "This site is a prime piece of real estate and we have big plans for the property. The City of Lakeland really does appreciate the generous donation that will allow us to add to our park inventory without the costly expense of purchasing land." He added, "Once we build it out, the 18-acre parcel will be a great amenity for the neighborhood that will house two multi-purpose fields with permanent lighting, a walking path, a modular playground and a dog park. We also have plans for concessions and restrooms so one day we can host youth sports leagues at the facility."
"This is a win-win and the City of Lakeland is extremely grateful that we have partners like Lake Gibson Village that care about the well-being of the community, enough to donate park land valued at $2.25 million," said Delgado. "We plan on building a much needed park facility that the surrounding neighborhood will enjoy and the sports fields will allow us to address the immediate needs of youth sports programs."
The City of Lakeland was incorporated January 1885 and has grown to become on of the largest inland communities in Florida. With a current population over 100,000 Lakeland continues to grow. It has been designated a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area by the US Census Bureau for over 30 years. With tourist attractions and gulf beaches only an hour away, Lakeland continues to capitalize on its ideal central Florida location along the I-4 corridor. The City owns and operates Lakeland Electric, the third largest publicly owned utility in Florida and it was one of the first to offer power in the Sunshine State over 110 years ago.

This was our first family vacation with kids to the beach (Sam age 1 and Ben age 3). We had a GREAT week. Long walks, playing in the surf, swimming at the beaches, and some s'mores. To top things off, the carnival was an unexpected bonus, mostly for the cotton candy.
We loved the house and enjoyed many meals together and even managed to do some puzzles.
The weather was great all week. One day of rain and temps in the '80's almost every day. Hard to not imagine coming back. Thanks for opening up your home to us.
Great views, well maintained home. Look forward to visiting again.
I stayed for 2 nights with a group of girlfriends and didn't want to leave. Mark was such a great host, always quick to answer my questions about the house/location before our stay. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need, making it very easy to travel light on the ferry over. It is a perfect place for a large family/group getaway--- very spacious, gorgeous views, close to a quiet/beautiful beach, and lots of privacy.
I rented the house (including the carriage house) for a group of family and friends that ranged in size over the week from 6 to 14, and it really was a perfect stay in all regards. The owner takes great pride in this house, and the attention to detail shows in both the house and in all of the logistics of booking, answering questions, checking in, etc. The house and carriage house are perfectly appointed with everything you need for a great little escape. The layout is really conducive to a large gathering of family and friends - a nice mix of bedroom sizes, great indoor common areas, several decks where people can do their own thing, and a hammock and outside shower which both got rave reviews during the week.
We really loved the location, and the views. Very peaceful, even in the peak of summer, with great sunrise views over the moors, and well located for quick bike rides to Sconset and Tom Nevers field. For trips to town, it's a quick drive, but also convenient to the bus and the bike path (if you don't want to wrangle parking in town during the peak season).
Everyone in our group raved about the place, and you can't go wrong with this property if you're looking for that perfect Nantucket escape.
The home is very nice and spacious. We had 8 adults in the main house and 2 more in the guest house. Had anyone brought kids, there would have been room in the loft and guest house. The house is clean, updated and has all the necessities for cooking or grilling out and relaxing on the deck. The bedrooms are all spacious and so is the kitchen/living area. 3 of 4 bedrooms in the main house are on the main level and there is a 4th on the second level, which is also where the kitchen, dining and living area is located. You can walk to the beach (it takes 20-25 mins) or enjoy the yard/large deck.
Mark was great to work with--he answered a bunch of questions and provided recommendations. We plan to return in the future.
First of all the house is beyond beautiful, great bedroom space, easy and spacious kitchen and enough bathrooms!! The deck is great for relaxing and enjoying the ocean view. The owner was a pleasure to work with and keeps the house stocked with organic cleaning products! The beach is a bit of a search/walk to get to but once you find the entrance it is vast and secluded! The only downfall about this location is how far it is from town, Ubers/Cabs added up so if you think you will be making a few trips to town I would rent a bike for the week! I would rent this house every year!
A group of girls spent a weekend here and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect 'home away from home' and enjoyed every minute of the expereince. From the beautiful yard to the cute decorations the overall expereince was wonderful. I would recommend this house to anyone and have already! I would love to come back again!

Seperation Anxiety!?
So, in the last week this new habit has cropped up. Raven will absolutely go ballistic if *I* go anywhere without her. In the house it's not as bad, according to the family she'll whine a bit but settle down and go to bed or to play with the other family members, but if we're out and about and I need to head off for a minute she loses her mind, barking, crying, screaming almost. It sounds like someone is trying to beat her. This is with another family member whom she's been with since the start holding the leash.
So far we've been ignoring the fit she throws, whoever is with her will distract her with something or walk her around, which works until she sees me again. I never approach to grab the leash again until she is calmed down and quiet, and then I don't make a big deal out of coming back. Just go up, grab the leash, and we continue on our way.
Am I handling this right? Or is there something else I should be doing to get through this.
Edit: She's 5 months old, forgot to mention her age in there

You would expect the indictment to have charges for drug dealing, racketeering, murder or something similar. But last week we heard that these were the techniques used to catch the 22 people indicted for violations of […]
FINRA Issues Guidance on Social Networking Sites
Securities firms and brokers have been looking for guidance on how they can use social networking sites. Actually most industries have been trying to figure out what they can and cannot do with these sites.

Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.

text: Hello everyone, A while back I asked about this on the LVM mailing list, but didn't receive a response. Am revisiting it now, so would like a broader audience. I've run into some substantial read slowness when using dump or tar to backup filesystems that are stored on LVM2 LVs. All of my tests are dumping ext3 filesystems to /dev/null. I'm seeing speeds in the range of 3-4MiB/s. If I increase dump's blocksize to 128KiB records, speed jumps up to about 20KiB/s, which is better but still frustratingly slow. Going to 1024KiB gets me about 28MiB/s. Today I loop mounted a file on my LVM, filled it up with some crap from urandom and dumped it out. I was able to get 50-60MiB/s. Is this amount of performance loss due to dm expected? My LV is just two SATA hard disks that I put into a VG. Stupid benchmarks with dd gives me a raw read speed from the LV of about 60MiB/sec. I'm using kernel 2.6.18-4-686 from debian. Any ideas on what's slowing down dump? -- Ross Vandegrift ross kallisti us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." --St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37

I am a big fan of good holsters..........I own a few not good ones which is more the reason I am a fan of good ones then the good ones I own them selves.
No holster less control in the pocket and no trigger cover.....however on a LCP that is less a concern because you almost have to pull the trigger into the next time zone to get it to fire. Good luck going holster less but my advice is get a good holster. It hides it better and it protects it and you better.

I'm 43 and just had Botox for the third time. This time I noticed a nice difference in the wrinkle between my eyebrows (the 11's) and also had injections for what is known as the brow lift effect. I have to be honest and say that I have great genes and do not have heavy deep lines, I also have resonable expectations. I am very pleased with my results, its only been 4 days so im still noticing improvements, for me sometimes it can take up to 5-6 days. I will def continue with the injections ever 6 months or so.

Speck's ToughSkin now in Singapore
Paranoid iPhone owners can now rejoice. Epicentre at Wheelock Place is now stocking Speck's ToughSkin for $49. Bought it yesterday and I love it. My old $15 macmosphere seems shockingly inadequate in comparison. The grooves on the side of the ToughSkin make it easy to hold while the thick rubberised exterior feels like it can handle bumps and drops. I'm much less worried about lending my iPhone to my 9-year-old son now. The downside is that ToughSkin makes the iPhone much thicker; the whole look is very industrial. Also, hitting the Q and P keys on the keyboard requires extra care because of the thick rubberised skin hugging the edge of the iPhone. These are tradeoffs I can live with though.

The 2014 Humble Pie Cabernet hails from four vineyards in the Central Coast growing region. The majority of the grapes come from Hames Valley, which is known for being one of the warmer regions in the Central Coast, and the San Lucas appellation which has the highest diurnal temperature variations of any appellation in California.
WINEMAKING: The shale-and-loam soil, plus the above-average temperature in Hames Valley and San Lucas for the Central Coast, leads to a perfect growing region for this 100% cabernet. Our grapes were picked early in the morning before the rains came in late October. After being picked, the grapes were immediately sent to the winery where the wine was slowly fermented at a cool temperature and aged on French Oak for 10 months.
TASTING NOTES: Initial aromas are black currant, cherry, vanilla, white pepper and strawberry rise from the glass. Humble Pie has a wonderful acidity which carries flavors of black currant, vanilla bean, cedarwood and a hint of cigar.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Humble Pie is a perfect stand-alone wine; it will also pair well with hearty meat dishes and wild game.
APPELLATION: Central Coast, CA.
WINEMAKER: Tony Leonardini
VARIETAL: Cabernet Sauvignon
There are expectations of Napa Valley Red Blend. A specific set of "RULES" must be followed. The grapes must be picked at a certain sugar... View full product details

KAPOLEI, Hawaii — More than 1,100 National Guard soldiers and airmen in Hawaii — and thousands in other states — will be living with 20 percent less pay over the next three months as the Defense Department carries out automatic federal budget cuts.
Guard members will be furloughed for one day a week starting Monday, so helicopter pilots and mechanics, pay and finance clerks and others who keep the guard operating will have eight hours less each week to do their jobs.
It's not clear precisely what effects the unprecedented cuts will have. They could, however, make it more difficult for the guard to fly helicopters to help put out wildfires or rush to the scene of natural disasters in trucks.
"Our general sense is that short-term, it's going to be a terrible hardship for those soldiers, airmen and their families. But if it goes on for any length of time, that may have a negative impact on our readiness and our ability to respond," said Hawaii National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Chuck Anthony.
The military's furloughs were only supposed to involve civilians, but large numbers of National Guard members who wear Army and Air Force uniforms full time will experience them as well. The National Guard added military technicians to the furlough list in May, after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel gave official notice to begin furloughs for civilians.
It's not immediately clear how many uniformed personnel will be affected nationwide.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott said the furloughs, which will affect nearly 1,000 guardsmen in his state, are his biggest concern for this summer's hurricane season.
Some units will be exempt, like the 169th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron responsible for tracking aircraft in the skies above Hawaii.
The 199th Fighter Squadron, which protects Hawaii airspace with F-22s, will be somewhat shielded from the effects of the cuts because a large number of active duty airmen work alongside them.
But many others will have to squeeze 40 hours of work into 32 hours, and receive one-fifth less pay.
It could become difficult for mechanics to maintain helicopters and trucks at the same pace, meaning fewer aircraft and vehicles may be available when needed. Guardsmen who plan drills for the part-time soldiers and airmen who train on the weekend might have difficulty getting exercises ready.
"We don't know what will fall by the wayside because we've never had to do this before," Anthony said.
Commanders are trying to help guardsmen cope.
They invited financial and stress management counselors to talk to two groups of soldiers and airmen on Oahu, where the majority of Hawaii's full-time guardsmen work and live. The guard is sending a DVD recording of one of the sessions to guardsmen and -women on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii islands.
Maj. Gen. Darryll Wong, the adjutant general, advised more than a hundred gathered on Monday that the budget cuts could last into the new fiscal year starting Oct. 1, but it's not known whether furloughs will continue.

You would be doing yourself and everyone else a favour if instead of just asking question after question like you have for the last 2 or so weeks, you actually did some research into your problems. Most of the questions you have been asking, have, if you had done the research been answered before.
Instead of just getting some help with these questions you have expected others (respect to Xploitz for his patience) to do the grunt work for you and spoonfeed you the answers. Even when these very patient people have asked you to try and help yourself or supply info on what you have done to solve the problem yourself, you just reply with things like, So has anyone got an answer, or So what exactly do I do, or such like.
I am all for helping people, but they should at least be trying to do some of the work themselves and supplying us with at least the basic information like what they have done and what they have tried.
Take for example this latest in the list of questions.
"I have a tablet notebook and Back | Track 2 works with it, but I need to calibrate it. Right now it is like an inch off. Thanks."
Where is the basic information ?
From this question what do we have to go on ?
How about providing us with info like
Touch screen model
Have you searched the manufacturers website?
Do they have any linux drivers?
Have you searched for anyone else who has tried this and what were their results or findings.
What else have you done to try and fix this yourself.
Without this kind of information you will likely get no help or the very patient people that have helped you in the past are going to get very tired of "extracting teeth" and "spoonfeeding" and stop helping you altogether.
With any of the questions you have been extensively helped on, have you once written it up in a tutorial so that anyone else who has that problem can use it to fix their problem ? I haven't looked but I very much doubt it.
I hope you can see what I am trying to say to you here, and you start to do something for yourself, and at least try to help us help you.

Courtni Lee Nichols - Barhopping Mom Slurped A Beer While Her 3 Month Old Daughter Boiled To Death
Clarksville, Tenn. (The Weekly Vice) - Courtni Lee Nichols, a 24 year old Palmyra, Tennessee woman has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she allegedly abandoned her three month old baby in a scorching hot car for hours while she bar hopped. The child was found unresponsive by paramedics and was later pronounced dead.
According to authorities, it was a dismal, humid, mid 90's day in Clarksville on Tuesday. Even conservative estimates would put the temperature inside a vehicle at about 105 degrees. In similar stories we publish, experts usually put the temps inside a car at about 20 plus degrees higher than outside temperatures, depending on cloud cover.
But when Courtni Nichols wanted to drink, she wasn't about to let a child spoil her plans.
Police say, Nichols parked her car at a Clarksville restaurant, locked her daughter Faith Nichols inside that car, and then ran to the next door bar where she proceeded to drink.
People inside the bar told investigators that they had seen Nichols in and out of the Yes Deer Lounge a few times during the afternoon. Nichols told police she had actually gone to two bars during the course of the afternoon. Police estimate the child spent almost 7 hours in the car as Nichols bar hopped throughout the afternoon.
Tragedy struck and police eventually received the call. An unresponsive child had been found.
According to witnesses, a patron at the bar walked out the door, only to return moments later exclaiming "call 911"!
Emergency personnel rushed tiny Faith to the Gateway Medical Center where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival. When Faith Nichols arrived at the emergency room, authorities say her body temperature was at 103.8 degrees (after riding in an air conditioned vehicle to the hospital).
Nichols has been ordered held at the Montgomery County Jail without bond. Her first court appearance has been set for July 16th.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Friends say Nichols was waiting at the bar for a babysitter. Another at the bar raved about how good of a mom she was.
Well, I take issue with both statements - as being a load of crap.
A dimwitted bar fly might tote a 3 month old baby around in a car all afternoon, leaving her to boil in 100 to 120 degree heat. But any reasonably sane mother wouldn't dream of letting that child out of her sight for one minute - even in a fully air conditioned car.
I don't buy the babysitter line of crap either. This barhopping scene went on all afternoon, and a babysitter has nothing to do with slow roasting a child while mom slurped beer like she was on holiday.
A good mother is good every moment she CAN be. Not just a few times when she's not in the mood to chug a beer. A good mother would rather boil in a hot car WITH her daughter, than to be without her angel for a single moment, not knowing she's okay - particulary with a newborn.
It just drives me nuts. The complete morons of society who have a cheering section around them of equally dimwitted cohorts who just can't bring themselves to call a spade a spade.
Courtni Nichols' thirst for a frosty brew murdered her daughter, and those are some pretty crappy priorities no matter how nice your 'friends in low places' think you are.
Since I'm fairer than most, I'll give her friends a choice. Is Nichols a good mom and just dumber than the ass end of a mule, or is she really a neglectful mom who's lack of care resulted in the death of a defenseless child?
There is no 3rd option. Stupidity or extreme neglect are the only reasonable conclusions here.
Rest in peace Faith Nichols. Rest in peace.

i cant fucking believe this mother. nvm she doesnt even deserve to be called a mother. no sane person would do this. danny shes stupid and neglectful. what kind of "mother" would rather drink a beer than be with their child.... omfg she deserves to live in jail and think about this.

as a recent new mother like her, I'm just too angry to put a tactful comment together about it. I'm so glad this article summed it up quite well. I watched a video on the case on another blog that made it out to be a big shock that she'd be charged with murder. Well what the hell else do you call boiling a child? How is it any different than leaving it in a burning building?

Another white trash waste of human sperm. People like her should be the reason for EVERY single person to get psych evaluation before they decide to have children.
- July 21, 2008 at 1:06 PM
She should spend the rest of her life in prison with the poor dead baby chained to her or she should have to go the same way by being bolied inside of a car. Either way is just. She should be allowed to choose which way.

As Myanmar opens, hoteliers see prospects
By Paritosh Bansal and Ploy Ten Kate
DAVOS/BANGKOK (Reuters) - Travelers hoping to catch a glimpse of the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda or hear the "tinkly temple-bells" of Kipling's Road to Mandalay might one day be able to book into a Westin or a Marriott, thanks to Myanmar's emergence from political isolation.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts -- which runs chains such as Westin, Sheraton and Le Meridien -- and Marriott International both said during the World Economic Forum in Davos they wanted to start running hotels in Myanmar, a country tightly controlled by the military for five decades until last year.
The former Burma, one of the most isolated countries in Asia, is being welcomed back into the international fold after two decades of sanctions, thanks to democratic reforms including the release of political prisoners by President Thein Sein.
"Marriott would love to be there if conditions are right," said Arne Sorenson, president and CEO-elect of Marriott International. "Burma has captured people's imagination for decades."
Myanmar has a huge amount to offer travelers seeking an exotic destination, with deserted islands, golden temples and cultural sites unblemished by the rapid development seen elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
English-speaking schoolchildren grew up with Rudyard Kipling's wistful poem of "mist on the rice-fields", "the old pagoda looking lazy at the sea", and "a neater, sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener land".
The hotel chains in Myanmar now are Asian-based companies such as Shangri-la Hotels & Resorts, which runs Traders Hotel, Singapore's Sedona Hotels International, and GHM Luxury Hotels, a Burmese company that owns the Strand in the commercial capital, Yangon, formerly Rangoon.
The few five-star hotels outside of Yangon are mostly in beach resorts or tourist centers such as Mandalay and Bagan. Continued...

Greatest hits (or misses)Posted: May 14th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 2nd chances, compassion, consensual delusion, crisis, dark energy, dark matter, die once, empathy, experience, growth, High school, kids, love, New York Times, number one, opportunity, Pulitzer Prize, reality, understanding | No Comments »
When I started this blog in February of last year, I had no expectation that people would actually read it. At the very least it would provide a mechanism for me to record my thoughts, musings and opinions. Now 600+ people from over 70 countries read this blog. Frankly that blows me away. As there are both a lot of new readers, I decided to high-lite 5 of the more popular earlier posts that newer readers may have missed.
Once again, thank you to those that read this. Please feel free to comment, email me and recommend Consensual Delusion to your friends, colleagues, and family.
This entry on how my 1st son's birth changed my perspective was picked up by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Tina Kelly and the New York Times "Local" blog last year.
This post, "Die Once", is about my dad wrestling with his mortality.
After reading "Crisis and Opportunity", a friend from high school asked me "when did you become so smart?" I'll take the back-handed compliment.
I am actually grouping these 2 posts together as they both illustrate the very fuzzy boundaries that define science and mysticism. Both posts attempt to show the reader that we believe we know much more than we actually know. And that is both supremely arrogant and very dangerous; "master planned obsolescence" and "Is your reality, really reality?"
Lastly, in my opinion, this may be one of my most useful posts from a day to day living perspective. If my kids take anything away from this blog, hopefully it will be this message, "Don't count on 2nd chances."

Sign up for our weekly email * In a survey of 542 UK employers conducted by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and Pearson, 61 per cent said that school and college leavers in the country have not developed the self-management skills they need for work while at school. The education and skills survey, carried out between January and February, found that over the next three to five years, employers expect to need more people with leadership and management skills (a balance of +67 per cent) and other higher skills (+61 per cent). For lower-skilled workers, they expect to slightly cut numbers (-3 per cent). Some 51 per cent of the surveyed were confident of filling their low-skilled vacancies, while 15 per cent were not confident of meeting their need for higher-skilled employees. Over half of the surveyed had built links with secondary schools (57 per cent) and further education colleges (56 per cent). The research also found that during the past year, more than a third employers had increased their engagement with schools, while 7 per cent reduced it, giving a balance of +32 per cent. Meanwhile, 51 per cent of the surveyed provided careers advice. Despite this, 68 per cent said that the general quality of advice was still not good enough. More than 60 per cent of respondents said they would like to play a greater role in delivering careers advice. In other areas, more than 70 per cent of employers provided work experience to students and around 29 per cent of them acted as governors. John Cridland, director-general of CBI, said: The UK's growth will depend on developing a wider and deeper pool of skills so that our economy can prosper in the face of fierce international competition for business. There is nothing more important to the future economic success of our country, and the lives of young people, than education. The foundations for the development of higher-level skills and the essentials for working life, that employers require, are laid at school. With the right start at school our young people can go on to have successful and fulfilling careers and have a strong base from which to learn more at college, university, or in the workplace. But levels of educational attainment are rising fast in many leading and emerging economies, so in the UK we must ensure that our education and skills system can continue to compete at the cutting edge. Rod Bristow, president of Pearson UK, said: The connection between education and the world of work is critically important. Employers and all of us working in education have a big task to address that connection properly. Despite improvements in the past decade, employers want to see an even sharper focus on literacy and numeracy, beginning at primary school. Literacy and numeracy are the basic building blocks that help young people learn other subjects, get on in life and find rewarding work. But it's not just about literacy and numeracy. Even the best-performing nations say the number one issue in education is to better equip school leavers with the broader skills needed for working life, and we are no exception. Employers still find that some young people lack the initiative, problem-solving and communication skills to succeed at work. But this survey should fuel optimism that the best and brightest firms are continuing to invest in education, work with schools and colleges and maintain their own investment in training.

Martha & Kyle
May 21
Franklin, Tennessee
About the Wedding: "You can't help but smile when you're around Martha and Kyle! They are such a sweet couple and are hopelessly in love with each other. Throughout the planning process, they never lost sight of the ultimate goal: marriage! Their wedding day got off to a damp start with a spring shower, but it soon passed and gave way to a beautiful day. The moment they first saw each other was magical and they couldn't stop grinning for the rest of the day! They love the outdoors and were excited to have their wedding on a farm. They opted for vintage decor and used old books, metal pails, and candles in mercury glass as center pieces. They chose beautiful understated wildflowers in yellows, blues and whites, which were woven into honeysuckle vines to create a beautiful archway on the porch where the ceremony took place. Afterwards, guests were delighted to enjoy some of the couples favorite foods, including tacos and specialty drinks from the ever popular Mas Tacos truck, a local favorite. Friends and family danced the night away under Italian string lights and wished the couple well as they departed in a vintage red Mustang convertible." ~Shannon, Southall Eden

Installation Captures Abstract Visuals Of Dancers' Movements [Video]
Two artworks have been created by digital art & design collective Universal Everything for the Science Museum in London.
UK-based digital art and design collective Universal Everything was commissioned to create a two-part installation in the Media Space at the Science Museum in London. Working with emergent technologies, they developed a vibrant and playful aesthetic.
The two artworks 1000 Hands and Presence, originate from simple line drawings and are united in the gallery space through sound and light. Presence transforms dancing into frenetic shapes, while 1000 Hands turns user-generated drawings contributed through a smartphone app into animated visuals.
In the physical space, 1000 Hands will take the form of a circular projection onto multiple screens with each screen displaying an individual user-generated artwork. An evolving soundtrack will amplify and recede over time in relation to the works moving in unison on screen.
Presence will be a circular four-screen video installation occupying the space around 1000 Hands. It will show moving abstract forms against a black background, created by motion captured performances of dancers. The performances evolve in appearance over time, changing materials, color and behaviour. You can check out the digital installation in the video below:

Consumer Spending - August 2008
Consumer Spending
August 2008
State tax revenue reports indicate that taxable retail sales in July (reflecting retail activity in June) remained sluggish overall. Revenue sales growth softened and was below year-earlier levels across much of the District. Weakness was most pronounced in Georgia while Alabama and Mississippi experienced an increase in revenue from a year earlier.
According to our informal survey of District retailers, July sales were disappointing as sales continued to decline while inventories were higher than a year earlier. Overall, retailers anticipate that sales over the next several months will be flat to slightly down on a year-over-year basis.
Vehicle sales in the Southeast weakened further in June and July. District new vehicle registrations dipped 18 percent while national registrations were down 12 percent on a three-month average basis ending in June. District registrations were mostly affected by declining truck and SUV sales. For July, contacts from leading import distributors reported sales declines across all models except subcompact vehicles.
Sales of District-assembled vehicles through July were down 16 percent from 2007 levels, compared to a decline of 10.5 percent nationally. All 25 vehicle models assembled in the District posted declines. Weak demand for full-sized trucks and SUVs has reportedly prompted several companies to cut production and hours to work off high inventories.
Tourism in the District was mostly positive in July, with south Florida gaining from increased flights to the Caribbean islands and the Bahamas. Some slowing is expected, however. For the Labor Day weekend, the Air Transport Association of America projected a 5.7 percent drop in travel overall compared to last year's holiday weekend, with a 6.5 percent drop in domestic travel and a 1 percent increase in international travel.
In Atlanta, falling hotel occupancy rates remain a concern. Overall, occupancy rates dropped 4.4 percent in the second quarter, and occupancy rates at downtown hotels and the airport were more than 10 percent lower in June on a year-over-year basis, according to recent reports. On a more positive note, the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau reported convention center hotel occupancy grew 1.7 percent in the second quarter.
Tourism in New Orleans remained strong. Tour operators and restaurants saw activity climb in spring and summer to record-breaking levels. Businesses reported achieving, and in some cases even surpassing, pre-Katrina activity levels. Passenger arrivals at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport increased 13 percent in June 2008 compared to a year earlier.
In Mississippi, gaming revenues were $115.7 million in July, down 7 percent on a year-over-year basis.

Best Storage Tips
Mess could be the scourge of numerous homes, nevertheless storage sanity is inside our understanding which has a several straightforward ways:
Storage is intently aligned to its noxious brother, mess. When it truly is neat and obtainable, storage generally is a joy. Should you choose to dwell with small objects on show, it is important. However you don?t would like to shell out your daily life placing matters in packing containers. Here's my 10-step manual to storage sanity.
# 1 Corridor place
Devoid of problem here is the most vital put from the household for workable storage. A clear and tidy corridor will make your entire household come to feel ordered.
Whether you install a chest of drawers, a dangling rail or even a coat tree, you'll need a process in or close to the corridor. Locate a thing ? a low shelf, maybe ? to place many of the things that follows you in any time you arrive. It ought to be obtainable, this means you can pick it up once again any time you depart. Banisters and stairs are usually not a choice.
# 2 Set absent your garments
The bedroom is definitely the next crucial storage region. No one desires to journey in excess of sneakers, or experience mountains of garments on an open rail. And does one seriously would like to shell out your time and effort folding jumpers and placing them onto shelves, similar to a shop assistant?
Huge furnishings stores from Ikea to Heal?s supply amazing semi-fitted wardrobe units. They permit you to definitely place everything absent, slide the doorways shut and enjoy place.
I bought a discounted business wardrobe for my daughter?s area from Habitat. It had been made for paper, but her T-shirts and jeans healthy in it completely.
#3 The storage space amnesty
As soon as or 2 times a 12 months, go in to the loft or cellar. Open up your wardrobe. Throw out anything at all you no longer need, and repack.
This will remind you everything you have wherever, as well as expose the existence of moths or moist, both of those of that are a dying knell to successful storage.
# 4 Get creative
America's domestic goddess, Martha Stewart, implies putting away jewelry in thrift-store teacups, and also placing aside your ornaments in classic drugs cupboards.
I store bathroom roll in plastic video containers from Muji. Victorian filing cupboards, vintage sock packing containers or previous school desks may also get the job done miracles. Check out junk stores and charity stores using an open mind.
#5 The backbone of your respective dwelling
I only keep journey, art, style, and recipe guides. http://www.plasticstorageboxes.net/ Anything else I go through, then give absent. Should you need to keep your guides, think of generating a person area with your household a library, and organize them on floor-to-ceiling shelves.
# 6 Prioritise
We store matters in our attic. The only trouble is always that I are unable to open the trap door to acquire to it. And so the only things that dwell you can find those I incredibly rarely need. Blankets, previous video cassettes or even rollerblades. Arrange your matters into unplanned need? and ?standard use? types. Set the occasional things from the attic or the cellar.
Crystal clear packing containers are perfect because you will certainly neglect everything you have saved wherever. You don?t would like to really need to open up a dozen packing containers to seek out that ancient video of your respective marriage, does one?
#7 The lockup possibility
Lock-up garages (occasionally known as slugs from the trade), which ordinarily measure about 124sq ft, generally is a remedy. My neighbour incorporates a lock-up close to the North Round packed with matters from his late mother's household. I have guides, architectural styles and furnishings in there, he says. I do not want them inside household, but I don't would like to throw them absent either. They have got an important status for me and that i regard myself being a caretaker of such matters, right until my young children improve up.
It's not often cheap nevertheless. Lock-up storage can expense about 400 a month in Central London, but only 60 or 30 elsewhere. By comparison, renting an equivalent place within a warehouse may cost a little about £250 a month.
eight Hold matters wherever you employ them
Store tea with the kettle, envelopes with your desk as well as the puppy guide with a hook from the corridor. Should you follow this rule, you then gained really need to frantically search for matters once again. It will make it simpler to tidy them absent later on, way too.
In her guide Remove Muddle Forever, decluttering queen Sheila Chandra calls this The Toothbrush Principle. Do you store your tooth brush with the sink, together with the toothpaste? Certainly you are doing. Now prolong this principle to everything else with your household.
#9 Show off your possessions
Some matters are born to get shown: retro glass, gorgeous guides and photographs. Your storage process ought to allow for features of show all through your home. Whether glass-fronted cupboards from the kitchen area, shelves from the toilet or even a dressing desk from the bedroom.
#10 Kid's toys
A different domestic nightmare. The a person matter to stay away from are those huge vats. Your sons or daughters will would like to open them and get their favourite toy. This will naturally be proper beneath the Brio coach established as well as the Three thousand-piece jigsaw riddle.
I have lived with (just about) each individual toy at any time conceived, although the best remedy for toys can be a low shelving device. Kids can stand in front of them and get to the toys on their own possess. After ten minutes of perform, the toy is usually thrown onto the floor, wherever you can inevitably journey in excess of it.

Never known for having a frugal lifestyle, Jennifer Lopez is rumored to be a bigger spender than I thought. A source claims that her makeup typically costs around $8,000 per day. Whoa. I keep trying to imagine how that's possible, especially because some of her recent makeup looks haven't been the most flattering. Do you think it's possible that she—or any celebrity, really—drops this kind of cash on makeup? Or is this probably just a rumor?
Join The Conversation
You must be joking? Artist's like Pat McGrath are paid $1000 per pound! And are worth it. Check out runway shows like Louis Vuitton, Prada and Valentino she is a master. Most make-up artist must travel daily with celebrities. Counting supplies, hourly rates and accommodations $9,000 is probably accurate.
Right-On Ess Elle! I feel what you said! That is just plain old SAD!!! "to those that much is given, much is expected." "take two, pass one on and leave the rest."
I heard that Pam Anderson spent that much or more, and mostly it was because she couldn't do her own until she learned. I know that JennLo employs Scott Barnes who is a former painter, but I don't necessarily think she spends that much. http://www.hollywood.com/news/Lopez_Refuses_to_Answer_Porter_Criticisms/3669427
i do not care if your makeup is stunning and makes you look like a freaking supermodel, it is not worth eight thousand dollars. At that price, Some people would buy a car with one or two events worth of makeup.
Come on now--That's nuts!
WOW! $8,000 a day?!?!
I think it's possible...the cost of high-end makeup, the makeup artists (plural) plus feeding them, their airfare, their fancy hotels, etc....adds up. It's not just makeup...
im sure its just a rumor
thats crazy... nothing is worth $8,000 per day!!!!
P.S. This $8000 amount isn't a daily thing (as in every day of the year), it's just when she makes appearances.
It's not for the makeup per se, it's for the makeup/hair services. Scott Barnes (who is her makeup artist) charges quite a lot to apply makeup (which 5 star food, lodging and transportation is included), and I forget who her hair guy is, but he's not cheap either. So it's probably $4000 for each person. A "regular" agency makeup/hair person is about $1000/day. But she's getting a deal-Kevyn Aucoin used to charge $10,000/day for special event stuff. And that was years ago.
you must be very ugly to spend 8000$/day for makeup to look good
I'm sure this has to do with traveling costs and hotel accommodations as well. They probably aren't staying at the Holiday Inn after all.
Okay I voted undecided but let's think about this for a minute. If a lot of us would spend say 1 or 2 grand (IDK, I'm guessing but I know it's a big expense) on a makeup artist for our wedding day, to stay for touch ups during the reception, making sure the wedding party is all beautiful, etc etc.. then I suppose it could make sense for a celebrity to overpay that much supposing their artist was indeed following them around like a puppy and touching up lipstick with every sip or bite... Okay that's it, I'm going back to beauty school and moving to hollywood! LOL!
This is the kind of story that makes me want to sucker punch her, pregnant or not. There are millions of people in the world struggling to make ends meet, let alone just simply survive & she doesn't have a problem plunking down thousands of dollars a day on makeup. Makeup??!! I don't give one bit if it's for performances (and I use that word loosely with her) or not. It's just wrong. Hey, J Lo, why don't you donate that money to charities & stop being such a f*$@!%$ diva. You could feed a small village in Africa for a year for the cost of the crap you pile on your face. Jeez... God, I didn't like her before. I really dislike her now. Intensely. Sorry for the rant : ) I'm sure you can guess how I voted.
She should really consider visiting MAC for a free makeover before performing! That way she can send me the extra $$ for my school loans. Sheeeesh! And I seriously doubt that outrageous figure is for like, staying in Wednesday night and watching a movie. Like others said I'm sure it is just for performing and other special events...but STILL!
That can't be an every day cost!! I imagine it's for flying someone in for the day for a performance or something. I cannot imagine that even J Lo has this daily expense (it would be close to $3M / year!!) Still...it's ridiculously high even for a one day special event. I clearly went into the wrong line of work :)
That's insane!
If it is just for performances, and the label including the cost of flying her team to location and housing, then yeah, that's pretty possible.
for that much money , I would learn how to put on my make up like a pro.
That's $480,000 a year assuming it's only five days a week, not seven.
I think I went into the wrong profession.
She's not paying a dime for that.Her label is and it's ridiculous. The artist is probably overcharging because Jlo is such a major hag to work with.
I went to read the article. She doesn't pay THAT much, her record company paying it. And, that is the cost on performing day not everyday, reasonable cost enough? I don't know.

The Mass was celebrated by the Archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela who promoted the family and the loving upbringing of children by a mother and father married to each other. He also spoke of abortion as one of the terrible scars of our time. Before Mass, the Holy Father spoke to the crowds via a live video link from the Vatican during his Angelus address. Here is a part of what he said:
"Dear families, do not let love, openness to life, and the incomparable bonds that unite your home be corrupted. Ask this continually of the Lord, praying together, that your intentions be illuminated by faith and exalted by divine grace on the path toward holiness. In this way, with the joy of sharing everything in love, you will give the world a beautiful witness of how important the family is for the human being and for society. The Pope is by your side, asking especially of the Lord for those in each family who have the greatest needs of health, work, comfort, and companionship".The BBC, for whom Zapatero's government is presumably on the five smileys list of Jolly Good Things, captioned the photo in their story "The Church opposes some of the Socialists' liberalising reforms." They also reported that the Government had legalised gay marriage and made divorce easier "angering some clergy". In my experience the innocent party who has been unjustly abandoned by their spouse tends to get fairly angry about it too.
I'm working on a GPRS connection at the moment so it's not easy to post lots of photos. The photo above gives some idea of the crowds. You can see more photos of the event in this gallery at ABC.es
