We do like a bit of balloon war, and few games do that as proficiently as the awesome Air Buccaneers HD. The game's alpha version is now available on a but-and-try basis, and the work in progress has been documented in a recently video, which you can see below. It certainly looks fine. Mysteriously, devs Ludocraft promise something special for next week, but won't say what it is. Hmm.

"Summon the Old God, Väinämöinen, to the battlefield."
So. You might recall that I asked what the hell was going on in the last Air Buccaneers HD trailer. Ludocraft have taken some time to explain: "The Last Song of Väinämöinen is the most devastating weapon of mass destruction ever seen in video gaming history. The player can summon the Old God, Väinämöinen, to the battlefield. Once summoned Väinämöinen ascends onto the battlefield and starts to play the Last Song with his Kantele (Traditional Finnish instrument.) made from the jawbone of giant pike. As Väinämöinen plays his song, the crust of the earth shatters, trees burst into flames, rivers boil away and ultimately the whole universe collapses on itself. And then there's only silence."
And then there's only silence.
What Is Going On In This Air Buccaneers HD Trailer?
Ludocraft sent light-than-air messages up to Castle Shotgun to inform us that there's a new trailer for the Air Buccaneers HD alpha. I might be a bit behind on what's happening in this remake, to be honest, but WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? See below.
In other Air Buccaneers HD news, there's a devs vs fans game going on tonight! The details are here. Let's be there to show them who really owns the skies.

Air Buccaneers Fan Vs Dev Skybattle, Ahoy!
While I normally count myself as a member the family of rigorous implacable impartiality that makes up the ranks of the International Games Press Corps, I will definitely be on the side of fans in the upcoming battle Air Buccaneers Fan vs Dev conflict, which is taking place in the new alpha build of Air Buccaneers HD. Ludocraft report that: "The battle will start at 18:00 o'clock GMT+2 time on next Thursday, February 9th. We will be playing on the Official LudoCraft Server and we'll be using the latest Pre-Alpha version of the game."
I'll bring the hot air. You can carry the cannonballs.
Air Buccaneers HD Floats Towards Commerce
Ludocraft send word that they have opened the shop for Air Buccaneers HD, allowing you to get permanent access to the alpha and all the builds beyond that. They are also following a "benefactor" (ie Kickstarter) model which allows you to contribute more for some additional bonuses and early adopted stuff that won't be obtainable later on by anyone.
There's a new version of the alpha up, too. We'll get an RPS server set up for this next week. Trailer belowdecks!

Air Buccaneers HD Is Full Of Hot Air
Behold! A trailer for the Air Buccaneers HD remake has just floated into view. Blast it from the skies of perception by engaging it with your eyes, or something. It shows the scale of the new game, and also how faithful it seems to be to the original mod. I am genuinely excited about this – we'll have to organise some more RPS games as the development progresses. It's not quite clear how far along things are, as they're still describing it as an alpha, but hopefully they'll hit beta soon.

Up! Air Buccaneers HD Preview Available
Ludocraft send word that what they are calling a "pre-alpha" build of their Air Buccaneers is now available. They explain: " It is still work in progress, though, and all your feedback is highly valuable for us. There are still graphics, sounds, features and effects missing, but we hope that it quenches your thirst for buccaneering and plundering for now." Servers are going up and the team request you point your feedback at the forums. I can't wait to get back into the skies, frankly. Merry Christmas, you crazy sky-pirates!

New World Champion
Fernando Alonso is the new F1 Champion. Knocking Schumi off his 6 year reign. Alonso becomes the youngest world champion at the age of 24 years and 58 days. He is also the first Spaniard to win the World Championship. His finish at the Brazilian GP in 3rd secured his championship. If you follow F1 then you know how big this really is. Schumi is no longer the World Champ after 7 years. I just thought i would should give some congrats to FA and give the news to everyone.
There's a thread I posted of this in the Racing thread. Yes we should all be very excited of what went down today in Brazil! We're all celebrating over here!
well deserved, much rather see him win than that Finnish robot, but an end to the Schumacher era is too long in coming

My New Mass Market Beauty Go-To Store....Thursday, March 18, 2010
Flash forward to today. This store has just opened a brand new "Super" version of itself about... 1/2 mile from my house. Pretty hard to ignore that. I reluctantly agreed to check it out. If nothing else, I figured I would be able to easily pick up milk and other essentials there. I didn't have to like it.
So, imagine my surprise when I first entered the store and immediately was presented with a large, airy and bright cosmetics area. I was immediately in love. Shocking, I know.
What store is this?
Believe it or not, I'm talking about Walmart. Truly. I took those pictures from my "hidden camera" (I walked around my store with my iPhone hidden in my jacket!), and you can see why I like it. The aisles are wide. Everything is well stocked. I have yet to be there when a Walmart employee is not checking the area and refilling things. Notice the person in the blue shirt there? That is what he is doing. But, he isn't taking up the whole aisle with a cart. He is looking for things to restock, then running to a hidden area and coming back with stuff. I love the "wood" floor (true, it's wood colored linoleum, but it's a nice change from the cement floor). There are a ton of sky lights in this store, and there are more in this area and the lighting is somehow even better.
Notice the display areas. They aren't crowded. Brands are clumped together and organized logically in attractive displays. The products are well edited (meaning, they didn't just arrange for every "cheap" brand to be here), and the brands that are available each have their own great display area with a a great selection of products. When I bought my Almay Smart Shade I wanted a matching Almay powder. Turns out that CVS, Walgreens, Target and Meijer in my area all carry the brand. But, none of them have powder (how is this possible??). Walmart has 3 kinds of powder from Almay. They carry the entire Olay line, including the hard to find Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream (other stores have this product, but they are always out of stock). They even have about twice as many CoverGirl lipsticks as other stores. So, if you need a specific shade, I'd check here first.
So, it might be time to break out of your Target routine.
Walmart has sent me a few items to sample. Strangely, it turned out most of the items they sent were ones I had already reviewed. Like that Micro-Sculpting Cream.
Please note that I'm not going to publish comments about how Walmart is a horrible company, they don't have unions, blah blah blah. My store is big and new and seems to employ a lot of people. That's good in my book. I like to shop there now. Also good. That's all.

I wish my Wal-Mart was this nice! You're so lucky! I've lived in FL, CA, and VA all within the past 3 years (my hubby is a Navy guy) and I've found that they are different everywhere. Where I lived in FL they were awesome like this, but my local Wal-Mart in CA was horrendous. Here in VA it is just so-so. I will be hoping they get better, I totally know what you mean and it's so refreshing to visit one of the nice ones!ReplyDelete
shhhh...i secretly am always on the lookout for a walmart since I moved to California.ReplyDelete
When it comes to buying drugstore makeup, I check out Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens. You need to try Walgreens, the new stores are really lovely and they have insane deals.ReplyDelete
I am so not against shopping at Walmart! I don't have one in my city, but I always check out the cosmetics aisle when I'm visiting my folks.ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

You are herecontent / Sac Bee Opening Eyes, But Still Groggy
Sac Bee Opening Eyes, But Still Groggy

SECTION: EDITORIALS; Pg. E6; EDITORIALS
LENGTH: 621 words
HEADLINE: MI-6 memo: More doubt on war decision Whatever the truth about Bush s Iraq intentions, we must get more serious about scrutinizing matters of national security.
Some Democrats in Congress and opponents of the war in Iraq are calling on the White House to respond to a leaked British intelligence report - the so-called Downing Street memorandum - that says President Bush and his top national security aides decided as far back as the summer of 2002 to remove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein by force. More to the point, the memo, written by the chief of MI-6, the British counterpart of the Central Intelligence Agency, told senior officials that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" by U.S. officials.
This is a serious claim, although in essence it's not new. Many critics of the war in Iraq have long believed the president deceived the public in seeking to justify going to war. What's new is that that assumption was made in this case not by anti-war activists or political adversaries of the Bush administration but by the top intelligence official of a highly respected U.S. ally. Sir Richard Dearlove, then the head of MI-6, delivered the report to Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British officials upon his return from a visit to Washington in July 2002 that included meetings with senior U.S. officials, among them then-CIA Director George Tenet.
The memo was leaked to the Sunday Times of London during the recent British parliamentary election campaign and published on May 1. It did not receive prominent attention in this country, however, until recently. Now, some Democrats and other administration critics describe the memo as proof of Bush's duplicity.
It is hardly that, notwithstanding a ring of plausibility in the minutes of a meeting in the prime minister's office at No. 10 Downing Street on July 23, 2002, at which the MI-6 chief described "a perceptible shift in attitude" in Washington.
"Military action was now seen as inevitable," it said. "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD." And it added, "There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action." That, at least, is now clear beyond question.
The memo went on to describe concern expressed at the Downing Street meeting about the need to provide a legal justification for going to war.
The White House has brushed off Democrats' demands as politically inspired, and presumably that is part of it. And Blair, during a recent visit to Washington, denied that "the facts were being fixed in any shape or form at all." Indeed, even the leaked British memo notes that, as of July 2002, the White House had made "no political decision" to invade Iraq. Nonetheless, given its source and its contents, it cannot be shrugged off.
Absent a "smoking gun," most Americans seem likely to stick to whatever they believe about what drove the president to take the country to war. Whether growing disenchantment over the unrelenting insurgency in Iraq and the continuing loss of American lives there will change that is hard to know. What's clear is that the Downing Street memo adds to an ongoing debate about how we got to where we are. And it raises again a crucial question: Was the president given bad intelligence about the threat Iraq posed to U.S. security, or was he hell-bent on going after Saddam Hussein and, as the British spymaster said, made sure the intelligence was "fixed" to justify the policy?
Whatever the truth, one lesson all Americans - including the news media - should draw from this episode is that the actions of every administration, especially on matters of national security, need to be closely scrutinized. Vietnam should have taught us that. Iraq is forcing us to relearn that painful lesson. However much Bush deserves blame, so do we all.

The media may be feeling guilty for dropping the ball on the DSM, WMD's, etc. but very many people opposed this phony Oil War from day One. We do not deserve any blame. We tried to wake up the media & the red state morons. The Bush regime, their corporate buddies & the media they own deserve all the blame! Impeach Bush, Cheney , Rumsfield, Rice & Wolfowitz now!

My iPhone 5 is blue - let's take a look at the color housing kits for the iPhone 5 from iPartStore.com!
iPartStore is a newer company, but they're affiliated with the iHospital guys, who've been in the business for years and got started right here on ModMyi.com creating hardware guides. They're based out of Florida, and offer parts for iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Mac. They also do wholesale.
In the Box
While our review unit was, sadly, boxless, the iPhone 5 housing kit from iPartStore.com includes the metal rear housing only, along with the SIM tray, volume rocker, sleep button, and silent mode switcher. Cabling is not included - you're basically pulling off your existing back to replace with this one.
These are great quality parts - I've been using mine a week or so now, and haven't had any issues from daily wear and life. The fit and finish match the original housing very well - and I actually love that it keeps the stock iPhone 5 glass on the front. None of the replacements for the iPhone 4/4S ever quite had such nice glass as Apple uses. These parts eliminate that issue completely since it's still Apple's glass.
The rear of the phone keeps the glass top and bottom just like the stock iPhone 5. Mine is a black (matches stock) with the dark blue metal. iPartStore.com has nearly 30 color combinations, both with white and black glass options.
Buttons are clean, work well, and everything seems as if I bought a stock iPhone 5 - in blue.
Installation took these guys nearly 2 hours to do, and is a bit of nerve-wracking work. You can give it a try yourself, or you can have your local iPhone repair shop do it for you. iHospital is great at any of their locations, or whatever is local to you. Some places will also give you a discount on install if you let them keep the old parts.
Price / Conclusion
The housing kits are competitively priced at $99.99, and ModMyi.com members get free shipping with promo code "MODMYI" - up to 200 total orders. You can grab them at their website for pre-order - they're shipping in the beginning of April, at which time prices will most likely return to their $119.99 level plus shipping.
We're giving the product 4 leaves - a nice housing, clean and a great finish and fit.
As is customary for an MMi review, iPartStore.com is hooking up our readers with free stuff! (Thanks guys!) You get your pick of color, and free installation from iHospital (you can ship to them if you don't have one local - shipping cost is on you, though). Use the widget below to grab entries into the raffle, and we'll pick a winner Thursday morning.

The year 2011 has been one to remember for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. According to Arsène Wenger, 2012 could be even better.
The 18-year-old moved from Southampton to Arsenal during the summer and has already made his mark in the first team with goals on his Carling Cup and Champions League debuts at Emirates Stadium.
Oxlade-Chamberlain's rise to prominence has sparked speculation that he could break into the England squad for next summer's European Championship. Wenger intends to give him opportunities sooner rather than later.
"In 2012, at the beginning of the year, he will play games," said Wenger.
"He is not far. He is a talented boy, it's all there - he just needs that toughness in the games and because every game for us is so tight… the other night, again, I could have brought him on and you have the hesitation to do it. But you do not want him to be a little bit overawed by the intensity of the game.
"He is ready to play. He is just missing that experience at the top level. You have to throw him into a few games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

MLB ROUNDUP: Maholm, Braves beat Phillies
Justin Upton, Jason Heyward and rookie Evan Gattis homered, helping Paul Maholm and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-2 on Wednesday night.
Freddie Freeman had three RBIs as the Braves chased Roy Halladay in the fourth inning. Upton belted a two-run shot in the first to give him a pair of homers in his first two games for Atlanta.
Halladay (0-1), who struggled with a sore shoulder last season and had a difficult spring training, gave up five runs and six hits in 3 1-3 innings. The two-time Cy Young Award winner struck out nine but dropped to 0-4 with an 8.00 ERA in his last seven starts against Atlanta.
The game was played in a steady drizzle, but the conditions hardly affected Paul Maholm (1-0), who allowed six hits in 5 2-3 scoreless innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Gattis led off the fourth inning of his first major league game with a drive to left.
DIAMONDBACKS 10, CARDINALS 9: Cliff Pennington's single in the 16th inning brought home Jason Kubel from second to give Arizona a victory over St. Louis in a game that didn't end until early this morning.
At 5 hours and 32 minutes, it was the longest home game in Diamondbacks history as far as time elapsed and tied for the longest at home in terms of innings.
Yadier Molina drove in three runs, including a leadoff home run that put St. Louis up 8-7 in the seventh, but Aaron Hill's RBI single tied it at 8 before both teams scored a run in the 12th.
The Diamondbacks came from behind four times to either take the lead or tie the game.
Paul Goldschmidt and Martin Prado each hit a two-run homer, and Gerardo Parra homered, tripled and singled for the Diamondbacks.
NATIONALS 3, MARLINS 0: Left-hander Gio Gonzalez homered, providing all the offense necessary to back his six scoreless innings, and Washington picked up another win.
Gonzalez (1-0), a 21-game winner in 2012 who finished third in NL Cy Young voting, allowed only two hits. He struck out five and walked two.
His solo shot to left field off Kevin Slowey (0-1) came with one out in the fifth. Slowey gave up one run and four hits in 5 1-3 innings.
After hitting two homers in Game 1, Nationals left fielder Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 with a double. The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year scored on Ryan Zimmerman's single in the eighth.
Rafael Soriano got his second save.
METS 8, PADRES 4: Matt Harvey allowed one hit and struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings for his first win at Citi Field, and Lucas Duda hit the first of the Mets' three homers in a whipping wind.
John Buck and Ike Davis also homered for the Mets.
ROCKIES 7, BREWERS 3: Juan Nicasio pitched six effective innings for his first victory in almost a year, and Wilin Rosario, Michael Cuddyer and Dexter Fowler homered for Colorado in a win over Milwaukee.
The Rockies took two of three under new manager Walt Weiss in the season-opening series at Miller Park.
Nicasio (1-0) allowed two runs and seven hits for his first win since last April 30. Winless in the next five starts, he went down with a season-ending knee injury on June 2.
GIANTS 5, DODGERS 3: Tim Lincecum walked seven, matching a career worst, yet managed to get the win when Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence homered to lead the San Francisco Giants.
Lincecum (1-0) threw 91 pitches in five innings, but limited the Dodgers to two unearned runs and three hits. He struck out four while outperforming Josh Beckett in a matchup of marquee pitchers coming off the worst season of their respective careers.
Beckett (0-1) was charged with five runs, three earned, and six hits in six innings.
REDS 5, ANGELS 4: Brandon Phillips hit a three-run homer in his new role as Cincinnati's cleanup hitter, and Joey Votto drove in the winning run with a ninth-inning single against Los Angeles. The Reds and Angels have split the first two games of the first interleague series to open a season.
Votto's first hit of the season off left-hander Scott Downs (0-1) deflected off the glove of first baseman Albert Pujols and rolled into the outfield, allowing Shin-Soo Choo to score from second base. Choo reached when he was hit by a pitch and advanced on a sacrifice.
Phillips hit the Reds' first homer of the season, a three-run shot in the fourth inning.
RED SOX 7, YANKEES 4: Clay Buchholz chilled the Yankees' bats, speedy Jackie Bradley Jr. got his first major league hit, and Boston beat New York on a cold night to open a season with consecutive wins for the first time since 1999.
Pitcher Hiroki Kuroda became the latest Yankees player to get hurt, leaving in the second inning with a 2-0 deficit, four batters after Shane Victorino's line drive bruised the middle finger of his pitching hand.
While the Red Sox under new manager John Farrell are off to their best start since going 5-0 in 1999, New York has been outscored 15-6 and outhit 26-15.
Buchholz (1-0) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth for his first save with Boston.
RANGERS 4, ASTROS 0: A day after Yu Darvish came within one out of a perfect game, Alexi Ogando and four Texas relievers shut out Houston again, combining for a five-hitter.
Lance Berkman doubled in a run for the Rangers a day after they blanked the Astros 7-0.
Ogando (1-0) allowed four hits with a career-high 10 strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings.
Philip Humber (0-1) allowed a run and five hits over 5 2-3 innings in his Astros debut.
RAYS 8, ORIOLES 7: Matt Joyce led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a towering home run against Tommy Hunter, giving Tampa Bay the victory over Baltimore.
Shelley Duncan hit a three-run homer and Ben Zobrist had a pair of RBI singles for the Rays.
Fernando Rodney (1-0) blew a save opportunity by allowing a run for the first time since last Aug. 18. Brian Roberts' RBI double off Rodney in the ninth made it 7-all.
Chris Davis went 4-for-4 for the Orioles, hitting a three-run homer for the second straight day and driving in four runs.
INDIANS 3, BLUE JAYS 2: Mark Reynolds hit a tiebreaking home run in the 11th inning in Cleveland's win over Toronto.
Reynolds drilled a leadoff shot into the second deck off Sergio Santos (0-1).
The homer helped the Indians overcome a blown save by Chris Perez, who surrendered a tying shot by Jose Bautista in the ninth.
Matt Albers (1-0) got one out for the win, and Joe Smith got his first save.
WHITE SOX 5, ROYALS 2: Adam Dunn hit one of Chicago's four homers in a victory over Kansas City.
Tyler Flowers, Dayan Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez also connected for the White Sox.
Jake Peavy (1-0) allowed an earned run and four hits in six innings. Addison Reed got his second save.
TWINS 3, TIGERS 2: Eduardo Escobar's two-run double with one out in the ninth inning lifted Minnesota over Detroit.
Anibal Sanchez threw five scoreless innings for Detroit. But after a two-up, two-down save on Monday, Phil Coke (0-1) blew his chance in this one.
Glen Perkins (1-0) needed only 10 pitches in a perfect ninth inning for the victory.
ATHLETICS 6, MARINERS 2: Jed Lowrie and Chris Young hit back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning, helping Oakland beat Seattle.
Nate Freiman had two hits and an RBI in his major league debut as Oakland knocked around Joe Saunders and two relievers. Tommy Milone (1-0) allowed a pair of first-inning home runs but settled down to retire 17 of his final 18 batters.
Michael Morse had one of the homers for Seattle. Joe Saunders (0-1) lasted four innings and allowed seven hits and four walks.

Toccoa Continues Preparations on Phase Six Streetscape
The city of Toccoa continues to move forward with preliminary work to prepare for Phase Six of its downtown Streetscape project.
Toccoa Planning and Downtown Development Director Connie Tabor said that the survey work is complete on the project and the city is now moving forward with other steps.
"The survey work for Phase Six Streetscape has been completed," said Tabor. "Now, we are at the right-of-way and real property agreement stage with DOT, which means that we have to provide them with documentation that no right-of-way or no real property is being acquired in the project area."
Last week, the Toccoa City Commission approved a real property agreement between the city and the Georgia Department of Transportation. The agreement states that the city will not acquire any real estate in the proposed Phase Six Streetscape project area.
Tabor said that preliminary engineering work for the design phase of the project is also already underway.
Phase Six of the Streetscape project involves improvements on the alley next to WNEG Radio and the parking lot behind the radio station. According to Tabor, the finished Phase Six will look similar to some of the other alleys in downtown Toccoa that have already finished streetscape work. The project also includes improvements to the parking lot.
There is currently no set start date for construction of the project.
The city of Toccoa received $325,000 last year from the Georgia Department of Transportation for streetscape work in the downtown area and is providing a $65,000 local match for the project.

The question doesn't seem very clear to me....could you elaborate?
This is a discussion on Wifes important question.

My wife asked me a question last week and I have been stewing on it ever since.
Our situation:
We have 2 teenagers 14, 16. One boy and one girl. We live in a two story home with bedrooms on the second floor up a rather long, enclosed staircase from the front door. We keep home defense weapon on the headboard that is locked during the day and available at night.
Her question was if i was out of town and she felt an intruder was in the house she would not be able to get to the top of the stairs quick enough to identify if it was a child or intruder. She horrified at the thought of shooting one of our children (as I am) but knows she could be overpowered easily at the top of the stairs. One has to guard against being shot with their own weapon as well.
As the kids get older they will have more freedom going in and out and these late night entering situations could happen regularly. When I was growing up we announced ourselves loudly at the front door so my father would not go into attack mode. The difference was the bedrooms their were pretty far from the front door. Here you want to catch someone on the stairs and control access to the upper level.
Need some help here to answer her question and keep the family safe!
Facts are negotiable, perceptions are not.
The question doesn't seem very clear to me....could you elaborate?
I would think on applying levels of access. Key entry, keypad code after entering before alarm sounds, and "Mom Dad Im home!". The last may sound annoying but, in my family if we entered my house without asking for a blessing from mom, no matter what time of night, big trouble! Its like net security, something you have (key), something you know(code), something you are (voice). Hope that helps some, later. Oh plus I love my friends alarm that announces loudly what entrance just opened! BG would be very stupid to not pay attention. Later!

Sounds like she would have a firearm. She must use a light to distinguish children from an intruder.
I am a light sleeper who hates noise. When my kids were old enough to come in late, they would try to sneak in the front door as quietly as possible, but I would wake in an upstairs bedroom when a key slid into the deadbolt cylinder. That sound was as good as an alarm clock.
1) intercom? ("Hey, Mom, I'm home")
2) cheap low-light / IR security TV camera?
3) closed and locked doors at the top of the stairs?
4) train the kids to shoot and arm them, too? Plenty of 15-16 year olds have successfully defended themselves and family members, though their responsibility levels would need to be considered.
Facts are negotiable, perceptions are not.
I would go with an alarm system, that you can set with a delay that allows you time to disarm before it goes off.
Mine has a 30 sec delay to deactivate, or if everyone is home it is set with no time delay. Also a wireless intercom system so they can announce themselves when they come in.
You can try all the security systems you want, but my solution to this problem was very simple: Get a REAL bright flashlight and visually ID your potential target before "lighting them up".
That may seem a little more dangerous, but it can save you incalculable amounts of grief if things go the other way..........
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
I agree with the good flashlight. Something like a Surefire atleast 80 lumins. It's not only good for visual, but also good for blinding.
I know when my daughter comes home. If she is going to be early, she calls. She comes to my room first.
I think some intercom or system that would permit the kids to announce themselves would be good.
I also wonder if there is not a relatively inexpensive TV system that would reveal the stairs and who was there.
Normally, I do not like the idea of searching for an intruder in a home at night. It seems to me that the intruder has the advantage, and the best thing is to stay in the bedroom and call 911. However, with the current situation one might need to go to the stairs. I would have some system to light the stairs from a remote. That might serve to frighten an intruder.
The cost of a closed circuit TV system could not be so expensive that the wife or kids would be put in danger otherwise.
Years ago when my son was around 21 or so, he would be out late and after we went to bed. He tried not to disturb us by turning on lights, but one night he knocked over a candlestick we had in the hall. It made a lot of noise, and he immediately shouted, "Dad, it's me." After that he turned on lights and we kept our door closed. No problem.
Time for a 'family' pow-wow...the family that shoots together, stays together.
Teens who understand the use and purpose of firearms are going to understand the need for identifying themselves as they enter the home...just as hubby would when he comes home (if at night).
Family members should know the 'rules' for protecting the home turf in a number of potential situations.
The aforementioned use of light for identification purposes is important.
Stay armed...train your family...stay safe!
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

When the perceived need is for more confidence, there is no other answer but to acquire appropriate training which will, by its very nature, result in having an accurately-measured level of confidence in your ability to handle the situation.

/// Jay-Z Rolls Out Set for Adult Swim
May 19, 2011 | Media Week
Security extremely tight at the Roseland Ballroom. With the exception of the open bar and appetizers floating around, feels more pre-show than pre-upfront. Filling up now, two gigantic owls (the mascot of adult swim) stand on either side of the stage with laser lights coming out of their eyes (if the decor sounds drug induced it's perhaps a subtle nod to one of adult swim's markets). Apparently Jay-Z is doing a full hour set with full band.

Late Assemblyman Alex DeCroce Got Governor Chris Christie His Start in Politics
The New Jersey Assemblyman who died at the statehouse Monday night helped Governor Chris Christie get his start in politics nearly two decades ago and was a close friend and mentor, the governor said Tuesday.
Republican minority leader Alex DeCroce, 75, collapsed and died as a marathon session of the final day of the 214th legislative session came to an end. He was a 23-year veteran legislator and represented parts of Morris and Passiac counties.
"For me, Alex was a close family friend and a mentor for almost 20 years," Christie said Tuesday afternoon in lieu of delivering his State of the State address. "I had no more loyal friend in Trenton than Alex DeCroce."
An obviously emotional Christie returned to the capital around midnight, wearing a sport jacket over a T-shirt and loafers but no socks. The governor was seen breaking down while embracing Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and other legislative leaders.
On Tuesday, a simple bouquet was placed DeCroce's desk at the statehouse in Trenton.
Democrats hailed DeCroce as a worthy opponent but a master legislator with whom they could find common ground.
"He was always someone ready with a handshake and a laugh, no matter the circumstance, and his devotion to the people of New Jersey was unwavering," wrote Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver and Majority Leader Lou Greenwald in a joint statement.
Senator Robert Menendez described DeCroce as a "model public servant" who brought "civility and a smile" to the legislative process.
"The people of New Jersey have lost a great man, but his legacy of leadership and service will be remembered for many years to come," Menendez said.
Christie will remember DeCroce on Tuesday afternoon in lieu of delivering his State of the State address. There's no word when the governor will deliver the address.
At the time of his death, DeCroce was the co-chair of the Bipartisan Leadership Committee and a member of the Legislative Services Commission. Before entering the Assembly, he served as a Morris County freeholder from 1984 to 1989.
He served as Deputy speaker from 1994 to 2001 before becoming the GOP minority leader in 2003.
He was also a realtor with the firm ERA Gallo & DeCroce.
DeCroce is survived by his wife BettyLou, who is the Deputy Commissioner of New Jersey's Department of Consumer Affairs, as well as several children and grandchildren.

I thought it was a fair question. Many have been here far longer than I, and generally we like to know from whom comments originate, and why. No problem being associated with a producer, or grower; some of the best insights and comments from them. Scott Harvey, Peter Wellington, Larry Schaffer, Clark Smith, Ed of Pedroncelli, rpm and others I'm sure I'm forgetting. We know who they are and can put their comments into context.
Andy has been here lest than a month, and his first comments were during the Blackford sale.
Just looking for disclosure to put comments into context.
i didn't know Andy was prone to hyperbole.
Andy shed some light on Blackford (thanks andy) and this one.

text: When indoor dust particles are heated due to contact with hot surfaces like bulbs, electrical heaters, office equipment, etc., the resulting changes will depend on temperature. One example of this phenomenon is the familiar smell of "fried dust" when a heater is turned on after the summer season. Awareness of this is not new. In 1924, Hottinger said: "Settled dust on hot surfaces above 70 degrees Celsius results in distillation products having irritating effect on mucous membranes, fairly equal to the effect of dry air". We have used GC-MS, SEM, particle counters and TGA to characterize the particulate and gaseous fraction emitted and the residue when various indoor dusts are heated up to 250 degrees Celsius. The Fine particle fraction is of special interest, as newer studies have focused on the surface area of particles - for high adsorption of VOC's as well as determining the exchange area between a particle and a body cell. This seminar will present results from Ph.D. work that is part of an ongoing multidisciplinary project at NTNU entitled "Indoor environment - health effects of aerosols and settled dust". The biological component of the project has been delayed due to the birth of twins last summer, but it will continue this fall.

Shania Twain has sold more than 85 million albums with an output that includes four studio albums and a greatest hits disc.

Soccer America
Franck Ribery came out of nowhere to be one of the stars of the World Cup.
He's only played two seasons of top level soccer and never played for France before being called up for the World Cup, but he's emerged as one of the key players in France's surprise run to the semifinals, where the Bleus face Portugal on Wednesday. Ribery's pace and dribbling ability have caused havoc for opposing defenders, and he can attack down either wing.
Ribery, the darling of French fans, says the secret to his success is to have lots of fun.
"I'm young, I've got a great job and I'm enjoying myself," he said. "I don't see what I could complain about or why I should put myself under any kind of pressure."
Ribery's career has not always been happy. He spent the first three years at clubs in France's National League (third level): Boulogne-sur-Mer, Ales and Brest. After six months at First Division Metz in 2004, he moved to Turkish club Galatasaray but left Istanbul after playing only 14 games.
Many a player has failed at chaotic Marseille, but Ribery played so well after returning home last season that the French press soon began clamoring for Ribery's callup. Coach Raymond Domenech didn't select Ribery for France's only friendly game in 2006 before the end of the French league season but picked him over veteran Robert Pires for the World Cup.
The 23-year-old Ribery, who is involved in a tasty transfer dispute betweeen Marseille and Lyon, set up Patrick Vieira for the first goal in France's 2-0 win over Togo that qualified the Bleus for the knockout phase, and he scored the tying goal against Spain.
"I'm feeling very comfortable in that team," said Ribery. "Playing with great players around you is very easy. I don't ask myself any questions. I just race the ball forward."
Ribery, whose long scar running across his forehead and down his right cheek stems from a car accident when he was 2, has been hailed as the heir to French great Zinedine Zidane, who says his young teammate must learn to pace himself.
"He must be right," said Ribery, "but it's hard for me to do that because that's just the way I am."
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari should bring back playmaker Deco and defensive midfielder Costinha. Both were red carded against the Netherlands and mised the England game. Luis Figo might not be fit for the France game. If he is unavailable, Tiago would probably take his place.
Portugal (4-5-1): 1-Ricardo (54-0); 13-Miguel (33-1), 16-Ricardo Carvalho (29-1), 5-Fernando Meira (35-2), 14-Nuno Valente (27-1); 6-Costinha (47-2), 18-Maniche (36-6), 20-Deco (37-3), 7-Luis Figo (124-32), 17-Cristiano Ronaldo (36-12); 9-Pauleta (86-47).
France (4-2-3-1): 16-Fabien Barthez (85-0); 19-Willy Sagnol (43-0), 15-Lilian Thuram (119-2), 5-William Gallas (45-1), 3-Eric Abidal (12-0); 4-Patrick Vieira (92-6), 6-Claude Makelele (48-0); 22-Franck Ribery (8-1), 10-Zinedine Zidane (106-29), 7-Florent Malouda (17-2); 12-Thierry Henry (83-36).
Zidane already sat out one France game -- the final group game against Togo -- because he picked up two yellow cards. He carries one yellow card into the Portugal. Other players carrying one yellow card into the Portugal-France game are Vieira and Ribery for France; Maniche, Petit, Nuno Valente, Ricardo Carvalho and Luis Figo for Portugal.
Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda, who sent off three players in the USA-Italy game, will take charge of Wednesday's World Cup semifinal. The linesmen are Larionda's countrymen Walter Rial and Pablo Fandino.

Blatter: FIFA to consider ban for yellow cards in three games
Players will likely need to receive yellow cards in three games before being suspended from the next game.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter made the suggestion today that three yellow cards, not two, might warrant a suspension at future World Cups.
"In a competition like the World Cup," Blatter said, "it should perhaps be three yellow cards in the first round and three in the second. This is a wise suggestion and we will take it up."
Blatter added: "In some national leagues, players are suspended after three, four or five matches, and three yellow cards in the World Cup makes sense.A player can go into the semifinals now with one yellow card, sometimes for bad luck, and get a second one then miss the World Cup final. On a larger scale, the referees should also be more consistent with yellow cards. It is something we must look at."
In 60 games, a record 304 yellow cards and 28 red cards have been handed out. The previous World Cup record for yellow cards was 272 in 2002.

Generally it is believed that girls like pink color and boys prefer blue color over others. But if one closely examines this concept (or misconception!), one realizes that it is not true. It is not that girls are genetically programmed to like pink. Then why this mass belief that girls like pink?
Actually all this is a market gimmick which has been so strongly reinforced on our mindsets through aggressive marketing of products that we have begun to belief that girls like pink and boys like blue. Think of the instances, when your friends and family members began to decorate the room of the baby girl in pink colors the moments she was born. Her cupboard was full of pink clothes and even her toiletries came packed in pink color.
The poor girl actually stepped in a world where it was customized in a way that she was left with no choice but pink color. Obviously she was made to believe that pink color symbolizes femininity, sophistication and beauty and being a girl she should be attributed with all these traits.
Such stereotyping and conditioning makes girls believe that they have to like pink color. A recent research conducted by Time magazine shows that girls do not like pink color instinctively. The research rather suggested that all people irrespective of their gender like color blue. Of course the choice of shades varied among men and women. Women preferred more of reddish – purple shades of blue while boys preferred blue-green shades. The researchers have further mentioned that the difference in the choice of hues has their origin in gender specific tasks men and women have been doing since time immemorial. Men used to go out, hunt and earn bread for family while women used to go to jungle for hunting various fruits and vegetables for making meals of the family.

Flawless BBQ Pork Tenderloin
Happy Thursday My Darlings!
It's official, I've perfected the BBQ Pork Tenderloin. I found a new method on Fine Cooking called the "7-6-5" method and holy crap, it worked like a charm.
Before I share this BBQ Pork goodness I have to share what's going on in Simply Paleo land lately! My Weekly Meal Plans will officially be available to the general public on May 1st (holy shit, this is happening). HOWEVER- I'm building a "Pre-Launch Team." You'll get early access to the plans at 50% off, you'll be able to send me feedback on what you think and I'll have some awesome freebies for you as well. THIS GROUP IS RESERVED FOR THE FIRST 50 PEOPLE so- get in while you can! Basically, I just needed a group of people to jump on board from the start so that I can get you the best product possible, and duh, the Pre-Launch Team is free to join. Come join the family!
My Weekly Meal Plans are going to knock your socks off! I'll have full details of what they contain up on my website soon, I'll be sure to let you know. My end goal is to make your life a little bit easier by planning out your week's meals so you get to the good stuff (like eating and taking the kids to soccer practice and cleaning the bathroom and doing laundry haha!). We're all crazy busy and we could all use some help when living a healthy lifestyle is a priority. Ya dig?!
This method works 100% of the time, every time :)
- orange - 1, juiced
- sea salt - 1 cup
- Enough water to cover the Tenderloin in a bowl or deep baking dish
- Bring 2 cups filtered water to a boil and add the salt and orange juice
- Pour the mixture in a bowl and add cold, filtered water
- Add the tenderloin to brine mix and refrigerate for 2 hours
- BBQ Tenderloin Directions
- Preheat the grill (I have a gas grill) to 500-600 degrees, or highest heat
- Rub it down with some EVOO and season with salt and pepper
- Place the tenderloin on the grill for 7 minutes on one side
- Flip and grill for 6 minutes on the other
- Turn off the burners and gas and let it sit for 5 minutes
Make sure you use a timer! The 7-6-5 method is amazing. 7 minutes on one side, 6 minutes on the other side, 5 minutes on the grill with the gas and flames turned off! BAM
Live to Thrive,

It's a habit among job seekers to put the job search on hold after a good job interview.
Since I'm going to start the new job soon why all that checking job openings, making visits and sending out r←sum←s? I once began house hunting after what I considered a sure-thing job interview. Others will not leave the house waiting for the phone to ring.
It is very normal for a person who has had a good interview to picture themselves working in a business. It's especially true when the workers and the interviewer seemed to be welcoming you into the company.
"They want me as much as I want them," thinks the hopeful job seeker as they drive home from the interview.
But it can be a false sense of security. I suspect everyone who interviewed for this job was treated well and given the same encouragement. Some companies and interviewers put applicants through a grueling and impersonal interview. But other interviewers are warm and welcoming. You walk out of the interview excited and assured.
But things happen on the way to the first day of work. Someone else gets the job. The company decides not to fill the opening. And while you are waiting by the phone you may never hear from the employer. Weeks of job hunting opportunities may be wasted.
There are steps to take to avoid the "Sure Thing Letdown":
• Wrap up the interview by confirming with the interviewer how the hiring process will work. What is the timetable? Will the employer contact you regarding your standing for the job?
Should you follow up with the employer? Be sure to get the interviewer's name and correct spelling. By failing to confirm the hiring process you are leaving the employer in charge.
This is one-way-street thinking. The job seeker should be assertive in finding out if, when and how they will be informed about their status. They should also ask, "If I have not heard from you after two weeks may I contact you?"
• Send a thank-you letter reminding the interviewer what you discussed in the interview regarding the timetable.
For example: "As we discussed, I will be in touch with you mid-month to discuss my status."
• Follow up with the employer according to the agreed on schedule.
• Resume your job hunting schedule — make calls, put in applications and apply to jobs. If you have developed several new possibilities, it will make a rejection letter much less depressing.
• Be sure your answering machine (landline or cellphone) has a businesslike message that will not turn off the interviewer trying to reach you.
• Another stumbling block at this stage of the job search process is the human beings who will be answering the phone in your home. It is the job seeker's responsibility to instruct the family members how to take a complete message.

I was speaking with a good friend of mine who is very new to blogging. She wanted to know how to get a squeeze/ sales page inside of her wordpress business blog, without having to dish out a couple hundred bucks for someone else to develop for her.
I understood her frustration, and I knew that maybe with a little research I could find what she was looking for… a simple way to add a squeeze page to help her highlight and sell her products and services.
And guess what…I found it I shared it with her, and now, I am going to share this nifty free tool with you.
I'm also thinking that creating capture pages on my main blog here would increase my Alexa ranking! Also, it'll just give my capture pages a different look.
So, I Googled "Free WordPress Squeeze Page Plugin" and found an Authority Pro free WP Squeezepage plugin. It's an absolutely free download and generates a pretty cool looking and simple to create capture page. The plugin also has some pretty neat SEO features that most squeeze page themes do not have. The name of the plugin is Authority Squeeze Generator.
I do not know the developers personally and this isn't an affiliate program. It does look like they have a WordPress theme that they are selling and probably some other stuff. I haven't checked it out but if this plugin is any indication, their products are probably pretty solid! They are giving away a ton of value.
If you've been looking for a plug-in that will allow you to create lead capture pages right on your blog, for the RIGHT PRICE I highly recommend you check it out!
To Get Your FREE Plugin (you will need to opt-in): http://authoritypro.com/sp/1.
Do you use this or any other plugins similar to this one? Do you use sales pages or squeeze pages on your business blog? Please share why you do or do not in the comment box below. Was this article helpful for you?
I look forward to sharing with you again very soon!

Things I have learned......(and will forget)
Things I have learned while playing in my garage...
1.) The clock in the shop doesn't work right. Its right when I go out there, but as soon as I come in the house, it never matches. The shop says 9pm, the house say 1 AM. I swear Honey!! 9PM!
2.) Tool Gremlins are mean spirited. I take time to pick all the tools up and put them away, but the Gremlins scatter them throughout the shop every night.
3.) Compressors: The big ole compressor you bought, that overloaded the pickup springs is now too small to handle demands of the cutoff wheel or die grinder.
4.) The airtools that only take 4 cfm, now take 40cfm
5.) The airtools which are designed for 120 psi REALLY RIP at 175 psi. That shouldn't make them do #4, should they?
6.) Even the most detailed plans for your garage in regards to air line piping ,electrical outlet placing, major power runs (compressor, furnace) are WAY TOO inadequate. This forces you to rip sheeting off walls to add more lines (hidden). Only to make you realize that after you buton the walls back up, you'll have to do it again.
7.) All those lights you put in, which make it look like an OR, are now inadequate when you put your heating ducts in.
8.) The shop that would "Never be too big" is way too small, and needs an immediate addition.
9.) You realize, buy looking at the contents of your shop, that you are addicted to hotrodding, and all facets leading to said addiction.
10.) You'd love to put down a new epoxy floorcoating, but can't because there is WAY too much stuff to move to apply it.
11.) HVAC ductwork SUCKS to install by yourself. Or even with help. I look like Edward Scissorhands gave me a massage, after installing the cold air returns. Did I say it sucks? It SUCKS!
12.) Once you install a lift, or get the shop set up good, you suddenly "find" friends. The same guys that were "busy" when you needed help....
Oh man, the garage should be considered an Educational Institution..Can I get a write off for that?
I really like no. 12 installing a lift will get you more "friends" than installing a new swimming pool.
i like no. 11. i'll have to remember that one. lmao

What the F*CK ??
Now you can give someone power of attorney over your digital life. Today Facebook began letting users select a "legacy contact" who can partially control their Facebook profile after they die.
Previously when you bit the dust, your friends could notify Facebook to lock your profile into a memorial page. But now if you've set a legacy contact, that person can pin an announcement to the top of your profile to provide details for memorial services, approve friend requests and change their profile and cover photo.
Alternatively, if you'd rather banish your Facebook profile to the shadow realm alongside your soul, you can tell Facebook to permanently delete your profile when you go to the big social network in the sky.
Facebook product manager Vanessa Callison-Burch tells me that the company's community operations team that responds to people's requests to memorialize profiles heard "a number of poignant stories of what…

Seminar power and willy-waving
When I go to a lecture or seminar paper, I expect it to end on time. If it is billed for 30 minutes, and Professor X is still talking at 45, I feel very itchy. Likewise if what Professor X says is plain wrong, then I expect to say so (politely enough) in the discussion session that follows.
All this seem to me to be quite "natural". But actually, I've learnt, these reactions are distinctively British. Although at first glance academic seminars look much the same anywhere in the world (a group of people banging on about subjects that would leave most of humanity quite cold), they are in fact governed by all kinds of culturally specific rules.
When I first went to such gatherings in Italy, for example, I couldn't understand why the chair didn't just shut a speaker up when he (or occasionally she) was still in full flood 30 minutes after he should have stopped. And I couldn't understand why the rest of the audience tolerated rambling responses from the audience lasting almost as long as the paper, and often on a quite different subject.
It took me years to see that in Italian terms this was the whole point of the occasion. For here academic power was calibrated precisely according to how much of the audience's time you could grab for yourself. If your junior colleague spoke for 8 minutes, then you were losing out in status very publicly if you didn't take at least 10 for yourself. And so on. Aggressive chairing and timekeeping would not only be breaking the implicit rules of the seminar; it would be disrupting the very roots of the academic power structure which the seminar supported.
In the UK (or at least in Cambridge, which may be a particularly extreme version of the British case), things are much briefer and – to put it politely – punchy. How often have I heard my colleagues coming out of a seminar, one saying to the other "I thought you made a good point"? What "good" means in this context is, "a comment that in two witty sentences completely demolished the whole paper of the poor visiting speaker and showed how much cleverer you were than her".
I confess that I am becoming increasingly ambivalent about this kind of display. On the one hand, I grew up with it and am still half attached to its style. I remember as a young lecturer thrilling to the displays of wit and smartness which the then professor of Ancient History would put into his responses to dull papers given by speakers. "I have three reactions to your talk and the first is boredom" is a direct, memorable and (as I now think) memorably nasty quote. And I am sure that I am sometimes guilty of playing such lines myself.
On the other, it's fairly obvious that what's driving this kind of discussion is not an engagement with the topic of the lecture or paper delivered, but peacock-like preening. It's very male set of responses (even when done by women). It is, as one of my female colleagues has aptly put it, an exercise in "willy-waving". Power games in a non-Italian form.
That said, the seminar-style in the States leaves me feeling rather at sea too. There are (as I found at Stanford) some examples of the British mode, but by and large everyone is seamlessly polite. It's not that they don't have strong views about the quality of the lectures they hear (as you discover when you talk about it afterwards), But round the seminar table, it's flattery all the way: "Thank you so much for that masterly performance . . ."/ "I learned an enormous amount from your excellent paper. . ."
To start with, it makes you feel very warm. But then you think: how would I know if I had done a really lousy lecture? Would my best friend tell me? Or is there a subtle code among all this eulogy, that I just haven't mastered yet?

Raymond James Ups Arris Group to Strong Buy
From Standard & Poor's Equity Research
Raymond James upgraded Arris Group (ARRS) to strong buy from underperform, noting inventory concerns, weak price performance, and strong near term business trends.
Analyst Todd Koffman says that after an updated review of the company's quarterly unit shipments vs. its VoIP subscribers, he believes he may have overstated the significance of a few tertiary suppliers. On the subscriber side, he believes his VoIP subscriber estimate may be understated by a few hundred thousand customers. Valuation-wise, he notes the stock has fallen 20% during the last few weeks. He ups his 72 cents earnings per share (EPS) and his $793 million revenue estimates for 2006 to 88 cents and $873 million. He set his $15 stock price target.

Universities wanting to stay at the top of their game need to keep abreast of which disciplines are hot, and which are not. So when a couple of research councils announce they want to set up a handful of doctoral training centres in a brand new field of biology, universities will sit up and listen.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) are funding new centres in systems biology. By this time next year, a handful of institutions could be recruiting their first cohorts of PhD students in this exciting new field of research.
Systems biology is, roughly speaking, where traditional biology meets mathematics and computing. It uses mathematical models and high-power computing to understand how cells make up organs, or how organs make up organisms. The ultimate aim is to move from lab-based - or "wet" - biology to predictive biology, in which experiments can be carried out by computer. The transition has been made possible by the rapid growth in computer processing power, making hugely complex data sets, such as genetic code, manageable.
Systems biology requires scientists capable of bridging the divide between mathematics and biology. The centres will produce such people, and it is hoped that many of them will continue their research at UK institutions. The BBSRC has already sponsored systems biology research centres at Imperial College and the universities of Manchester and Newcastle. At least three more will be set up by 2007-08, the BBSRC says.
The scope of the doctoral training centres will be wide, as you would expect from a discipline in which new ground is being broken all the time. Students will be drawn from a variety of backgrounds and, to give them the breadth of knowledge they will require to tackle interdisciplinary research questions, up to a quarter of the PhD will be made up of taught elements.
The centre competition is open to all UK universities, but they should demonstrate an imaginative approach to PhD training in their applications. The funding will support around 10 new PhD students a year for three years, although the scheme could be extended for another two years. The funding will cover student stipends (in 2006-07, a minimum of £12,300 a year), as well as costs related to teaching, conference attendance, travel and research. Grants will also cover management costs incurred by hosting centres.
As with the research centres, competition for the doctoral training centres will be fierce. Universities interested in hosting one should write to Dr Gavin Salisbury at the EPSRC (email@example.com), to make sure their application is suitable. Only applications given the thumbs up by Salisbury will be accepted. The deadline is September 28 and results are expected by Christmas.
