35 Ways You Can Help the Homeless
1. Understand Who the Homeless
Are - Help dispel the stereotypes about the homeless. Learn about the
different reasons for homelessness, and remember, every situation is unique.
2. Respect the Homeless as Individuals - Give the homeless people the same courtesy and respect you would accord your friends, your family, your employer. Treat them as you would wish to be treated if you needed assistance.
3. Respond with Kindness - We can make quite a difference in the lives of the homeless when we respond to them, rather than ignore or dismiss them. Try a kind word and a smile.
4. Develop Lists of Shelters - Carry a card that lists local shelters so you can hand them out to the homeless. You can find shelters in your Yellow Pages.
5. Buy "Street News" - This biweekly newspaper is sold in almost every major American city and is intended to help the homeless help themselves. For every paper sold, the homeless earn five cents deposited in a special savings account earmarked for rent. What an impact!
6. Bring Food - It's as simple as taking a few extra sandwiches when you go out. When you pass someone who asks for change, offer him or her something to eat. If you take a lunch, pack a little extra. When you eat at a restaurant, order something to take with you when you leave.
7. Give Money - One of the most direct ways to aid the homeless is to give money. Donations to nonprofit organizations that serve the homeless go a long way. Find one that's right for you in our Homeless category.
8. Give Recyclables - In localities where there is a "bottle law," collecting recyclable cans and bottles is often the only "job" available to the homeless. But it is an honest job that requires initiative. You can help by saving your recyclable bottles, cans, and newspapers and giving them to the homeless instead of taking them to a recycling center or leaving them out for collection. If you live in a larger city, you may wish to leave your recyclables outside for the homeless to pick up -- or give a bagful of cans to a homeless person in your neighborhood.
9. Give Clothing - Next time you do your spring or fall cleaning, keep an eye out for those clothes that you no longer wear. If these items are in good shape, gather them together and donate them to organizations that provide housing for the homeless. You can also check our list of organizations that accept donated goods.
10. Give A Bag Of Groceries - Load up a bag full of nonperishable groceries, and donate it to a food drive in your area. If your community doesn't have a food drive, organize one. Contact your local soup kitchens, shelters, and homeless societies and ask what kind of food donations they would like.
11. Give Toys - Children living in shelters have few possessions --if any-- including toys. Homeless parents have more urgent demands on what little money they have, such as food and clothing. So often these children have nothing to play with and little to occupy their time. You can donate toys, books, and games to family shelters to distribute to homeless children. For Christmas or Chanukah, ask your friends and co-workers to buy and wrap gifts for homeless children.
12. Volunteer At A Shelter - Shelters thrive on the work of volunteers, from those who sign people in, to those who serve meals, to others who counsel the homeless on where to get social services. For the homeless, a shelter can be as little as a place to sleep out of the rain or as much as a step forward to self-sufficiency.
13. Volunteer At A Soup Kitchen - Soup Kitchens provide one of the basics of life, nourishing meals for the homeless and other disadvantaged members of the community. Volunteers generally do much of the work, including picking up donations of food, preparing meals, serving it, and cleaning up afterward. To volunteer your services, contact you local soup kitchen, mobile food program, shelter, or religious center.
14. Volunteer Your Professional Talents - No matter what you do for a living, you can help the homeless with your on-the-job talents and skills. Those with clerical skills can train those with little skills. Doctors, psychiatrists, counselors, and dentists can treat the homeless in clinics. Lawyers can help with legal concerns. The homeless' needs are bountiful -- your time and talent won't be wasted.
15. Volunteer Your Hobbies - Every one of us has something we can give the homeless. Wherever our interests may lie -- cooking, repairing, gardening, photography -- we can use them for the homeless. Through our hobbies, we can teach them useful skills, introduce them to new avocations and perhaps point them in a new direction.
16. Volunteer For Follow-Up Programs - Some homeless people, particularly those who have been on the street for a while, may need help with fundamental tasks such as paying bills, balancing a household budget, or cleaning. Follow-up programs to give the formerly homeless further advice, counseling, and other services need volunteers.
17. Volunteer At Battered Women's Shelters - Most battered women are involved in relationships with abusive husbands or other family members. Lacking resources and afraid of being found by their abusers, many may have no recourse other than a shelter or life on the streets once they leave home. Volunteers handle shelter hotlines, pick up abused women and their children when they call, keep house, and offer counseling. Call your local shelter for battered women to see how you can help. Find an organization in JustGive.org's Women area.
18. Tutor Homeless Children - A tutor can make all the difference. Just having adult attention can spur children to do their best. Many programs exist in shelters, transitional housing programs, and schools that require interested volunteers. Or begin you own tutor volunteer corps at your local shelter. It takes nothing more than a little time.
19. Take Homeless Children On Trips - Frequently, the only environment a homeless child knows is that of the street, shelters, or other transitory housing. Outside of school -- if they attend -- these children have little exposure to many of the simple pleasures that most kids have. Volunteer at your local family shelter to take children skating or to an aquarium on the weekend.
20. Volunteer At Battered Women's Shelters - Volunteers handle shelter hotlines, pick up abused women and their children when they call, keep house, and offer counseling. Call your local shelter for battered women to see how you can help.
21. Teach About The Homeless - If you do volunteer work with the homeless, you can become an enthusiast and extend your enthusiasm to others. You can infect others with your own sense of devotion by writing letters to the editor of your local paper and by pressing housing issues at election time.
22. Publish Shelter Information - Despite all of our efforts to spread the word about shelters, it is surprising how many people are unaware of their own local shelters. Contact your local newspapers, church or synagogue bulletins, or civic groups newsletters about the possibility of running a weekly or monthly listing of area services available to the homeless. This could include each organization's particular needs for volunteers, food, and other donations.
23. Educate Your Children About The Homeless - Help your children to see the homeless as people. If you do volunteer work, take your sons and daughters along so they can meet with homeless people and see what can be done to help them. Volunteer as a family in a soup kitchen or shelter. Suggest that they sort through the toys, books, and clothes they no longer use and donate them to organizations that assist the poor.
24. Sign Up Your Company/School - Ask your company or school to host fund-raising events, such as raffles or craft sales and donate the proceeds to nonprofit organizations that aid the homeless. You can also ask your company or school to match whatever funds you and your co-workers or friends can raise to help the homeless.
25. Recruit Local Business - One of the easiest ways to involve local businesses is to organize food and/or clothing drives. Contact local organizations to find out what is needed, approach local grocery or clothing shops about setting up containers on their premises in which people can drop off donations, ask local businesses to donate goods to the drive, and publicize the drive by placing announcements in local papers and on community bulletin boards and by posting signs and posters around your neighborhood.
26. Create Lists Of Needed Donations - Call all the organizations in your community that aid the homeless and ask them what supplies they need on a regular basis. Make a list for each organization, along with its address, telephone number, and the name of a contact person. Then mail these lists to community organizations that may wish to help with donations -- every place from religious centers to children's organizations such as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.
27. Play With Children In A Shelter - Many children in shelters are cut off from others their own age. Shuffled from place to place, sometimes these kids don't attend school on a regular basis, and have no contact with other kids. Bring a little joy to their lives by taking your children to a local shelter to play. Plan activities such as coloring, playing with dolls, or building model cars (take along whatever toys you'll need). Your own children will benefit too.
28. Employ the Homeless - HELP WANTED General Office Work. Welfare recipient, parolee, ex-addict OK. Good salary, benefits. Will train. That's the way Wildcat Service Corporations's Supported Work Program invites the "unemployable" to learn to work. Best of all-the program works! More than half the people who sign on find permanent, well-paying jobs, often in maintenance, construction, clerical, or security work.
29. Help The Homeless Apply For Aid - Governmental aid is available for homeless people, but many may not know where to find it or how to apply. Since they don't have a mailing address, governmental agencies may not be able to reach them. You can help by directing the homeless to intermediaries, such as homeless organizations, that let them know what aid is available and help them to apply for it. If you want to be an advocate or intermediary for the homeless yourself, you can contact these organizations as well.
30. Stand Up For The Civil Rights Of The Homeless - In recent elections, for example, volunteers at shelters and elsewhere helped homeless people register to vote . . . even though they had "no fixed address" at the moment. Some officials would not permit citizens without a permanent address to vote.
31. Join Habitat For Humanity - Habitat for Humanity, a Christian housing ministry, builds houses for families in danger of becoming homeless. Volunteers from the community and Habitat homeowners erect the houses. Funding is through donations from churches, corporations, foundations, and individuals.
32. Form A Transitional Housing Program - One of the most potent homeless-prevention services a community can offer residents who are in danger of eviction is a transitional housing program. These programs help people hang on to their current residences or assist them in finding more affordable ones. The methods include steering people to appropriate social service and community agencies, helping them move out of shelters, and providing funds for rent, mortgage payments, and utilities. For information, contact the Homelessness Information Exchange at (202) 462-7551.
33. Write To Corporations - Some of the largest corporations in America have joined the battle for low-income housing. Through the use of the tax credit or by outright grants, they are participating with federal and state government, not-for-profit and community-based groups to build desperately needed housing in Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and dozens of other cities. Contact various organizations and ask them what they are doing.
34. Contact Your Government Representatives - Our legislators rarely receive more than three visits or ten letters about any subject. When the numbers exceed that amount, they sit up and take note. Personal visits are the most potent. Letters are next; telephone calls are third best. Housing issues don't come up that often, so your public officials will listen.
35. Push For State Homelessness Prevention Programs - While states routinely supply aid for the poor and homeless, many do not have programs provide funds and other services to those who will lose their homes in the immmediate future unless something is done. Homelessness comes at great financial and human cost to the families who are evicted or foreclosed.

FCC yanks approval from Palm, Handspring wireless PDAs
At their request, to keep details out of public domain
The Federal Communications Commission has decided it doesn't like wireless devices from Palm and Handspring after all, and officially withdrawn its approval.
Not that is has anything to do with the kit itself. Rather, both companies asked the FCC to do so. The reason? To get details of the Palm i705, and Handspring Treo k180 and g180 pulled from its public Web site.
It's easily done, said an FCC spokesman. "We will, at the request of the manufacturer, defer the grants. All they have to do is check a box," he added, according to a CNET report.
They can also specify when approval is restored. Handspring has chosen 15 October, suggesting it plans to launch the devices in that timeframe, though it's worth bearing in mind that approval dates, like the approvals themselves, can be altered at the drop of a hat. For its part, Palm hasn't specified a date.
Palm's i705 - better known, perhaps, by its codename, Skywalker - sports a built-in antenna and maintains an always-on Net connection, battery power permitting. LEDs show the status of the connection.
Handspring's Treo family, on the other hand, appear to aimed more at the smartphone market. The Treo k180 (codenamed Manhattan) is essentially a PalmOS-based alternative to RIM's popular Blackberry device - hence the inclusion of a keypad in place of the usual Graffiti character entry panel. The Treo g180 (codenamed Shea) does, however, offer standard Graffiti input.
Both machines can operate as GSM mobile phones, and include SIM slots. They will ship with an SMS app and Handspring's Blazer Web browser. There's an email app, apparently, but unlike the i705 the Handspring's are assuming occasional use of these features. As we say, they're more about bringing PDA functionality to cellphones than bringing always-on Net access to the PDA. ®

Treasures Grand Finale
From Gutenberg to Gone With The Wind: Treasures from the Ransom Center completed its run at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum on April 28. It was the largest attended exhibition in the Ransom Center's history, allowing more than 150,000 visitors the chance to view the collection of some of the most iconic pieces from our collections. Throughout the spring, visitors were offered a bevy of activities corresponding to things Ransom in the form of films, lectures, and other presentations as part of the Treasures Public Program.
Four classic films were featured with the series Treasures from Hollywood: A Streetcar Named Desire, Sunset Boulevard, North by Northwest, and, of course, Gone With The Wind, with introductions by Ransom Center Film Curator Steve Wilson. America's preeminent spinner of yarns was the focus of a talk by Public Affairs Officer Sheree Scarborough, who spoke of Mark Twain holdings at the Center. Dr. Maria Wells talked pupi with "Marionette, che passione!" a lecture on the nineteenth century Sicilian marionettes donated to the Center by friend and benefactor Stanley Marcus. Frida Kahlo received some exposure from Austin psychiatrist Shiree Flume, who addressed the psychological aspects of one of the twentieth century's most unique artists. Lawrence Speck got back to the future with his talk on industrial and theatrical designer Norman Bel Geddes entitled "Transporting America into a Bright New Future." Saturdays in April, the Mike Wallace Interviews revisited Cold War sensibilities through a series of interviews conducted with such prominent figures of the 1950s as Frank Lloyd Wright, Kirk Douglas, Eleanor Roosevelt, and William O. Douglas. The Treasures Program ended with "Reconstructing Scarlett," a presentation by Carrie Harrell and Jan Hevenor, two former design students at the University of the Incarnate Word, who spoke about their participation in the 1986 project to restore four costumes from Gone With The Wind.
Our thanks to all who made this exhibition happen, especially outgoing Director Harry Middleton, incoming Director Betty Sue Flowers, and the staff of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.

Oresama teacher (edition 2011)
by Izumi Tsubaki
Work details
Oresama Teacher, Volume 1 by Izumi Tsubaki
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This gender reflective Manga is unusual because it combines a serious topic with inane hilarity. The heroine is battling her own deeply ingrained habits and ideals in an attempt to conform. Conformity for a girl means pleasant, sweet, cute, etc.
Mafuyu is just not that kind of girl. She is, in the eyes of society, a guy-like delinquent. She is deeply honorable, but it is not valued because of her propensity for violence.
She is determined to change, but before she even begins at her new school, one of her teacher's sabotages her efforts. Why? I'm not entirely sure. This is one of the things that makes me want to read the next volume.
Takaomi, her teacher, harasses and supports her in equal measures. He obviously instigates or exacerbates some of her struggles.
And her new, reluctant, friend ,Hayasaka-kun, is equal parts emo bad-ass and stumbling teen boy.
I suppose I identify with Mafuyu, to some degree. She's a yanki and I'm a yankee. Despite oceans and continents between our cultures, the terms are fairly similar. Hah!
(Manga) RATING: The first volume was enough for me. / OR: 2.5 stars.
There is some pretty nonsensical manga out there. One good example is Ouran High School Host Club which starts with a completely unbelievable situation and progresses into full-blown comedy and randomness (I haven't read it all yet, but as far as I did, it was a mix of crazy humor and some romance trying to get airtime). The saving grace of these type of (sort-of) gag shojo mangas is that they are genuinely funny. And there is some (very faint) sense in the story. Oh and the characters are actually likable.
Oresama Teacher is definitely one of this random-nonsense-happening-every-minute kind of manga. Mafuyu Kurosaki is a girl who's been expelled from her high school for fighting and as the story opens she is starting at a new school. She is determined to do well and not fall into old habits... she wants to be girly and fragile and everything she wasn't before, basically. But on the evening before her first day of classes she runs into a fight! She feels compelled to aid the guy being beaten and it turns out he is one of her new teachers. The rest of the volume follows Mayufu as she learns more about her school, makes friends (or so she thinks) with the school bad boy and is 'bullied' (I use quotes because I don't really know what to call this relationship) by aforementioned professor.
So, yeah, basically Oresama Teacher volume 1 is the very definition of randomly humorous. I'm not some big manga expert but I didn't get some of the scenes... some panels were confusing. Also, the story was just a little too random. Sure, it was funny, sometimes, but mostly it was just... random. There wasn't a lot of coherency to the plot and I actually thought the story between Mafuyu and the teacher was just too unbelievable, even for manga!
And I didn't particularly like any of the characters. The teacher was awful, Mayufu was okay but unremarkable and the delinquent guy (I forget his name) was just... forgettable and dumb.
Overall, this manga didn't impress me and I think that if you want a reader to collect who knows how many volumes you really have to make a good impression with the first chapters. I didn't feel like there was a story or something to go from where the first volume ended.

This is a city that long ago went to the dogs. But if you're of the canine persuasion, these may be halcyon dog days.
"Long Beach is definitely a dog town and has grown to be an even bigger dog town," said Katharine Galangy, one of the owners of Go Fetch, a Long Beach company that provides a number of dog services. "There are just so many activities focused around animals, from festivals to fairs to parades."
Justin Rudd, the unofficial dog czar of Long Beach, has been at the forefront of the dog culture. A guy who didn't even grow up thinking of dogs as indoor pets, Rudd spearheaded the creation of the only off-leash dog beach in Los Angeles County. He has since parlayed that into his Haute Dogs organization.
"I think there has been a culture shift across the nation (in pet ownership)," Rudd said, "and for sure in Long Beach."
Politicians certainly know where their constituents stand on dog issues. Whether it's approving dog parks, beaches or other pet-friendly ordinances, they are often in agreement.
Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske, whose District 5 in East Long Beach will open Long Beach's newest dog park in November, said, "I think (pets) are a big part of a lot of people's lives."
For the record, Schipske says she only takes pets from the shelter. Her current dog is a very proper corgi mix named English.
Councilman Gary DeLong, who helped draft an ordinance to allow dogs on restaurants' dining patios, said he's seen a shift in attitudes among the non-pet public to be more inclusive. "I think it's just more acceptable now," he said of allowing dogs greater access.
DeLong is currently dogless, since his corgi/retriever mix Sandy died several years ago. However, he said he will happily become an owner again, "when the right dog comes along."
Yes, it's a good time to be a dog in Long Beach.
Consider that in Long Beach we have:
• Rosie's Dog Beach, nearly three acres of sand and slobber at the end of Argonne Avenue in Belmont Shore, where dogs and owners frolic by the sea with minimal restriction. The beach, which was officially designated for off-leash dog activities in 2001, was formally named after Rudd's English bulldog in 2010 by the City Council.
• Dog events that are arguably the largest of their kind. These include Rudd's Haute Dog Howl'oween Parade, which annually features 500 to 600 costumed dogs. Tompkins Square in New York likes to claim it has the biggest such parade and organizers of an event in Petco Park in San Diego made a spurious claim at the record. We'll stick with Long Beach.
The Bulldog Beauty Contest, in its ninth year and also a Rudd initiative, is highlighted by a pageant in 19 different categories and brings together another 500 or so dogs.
• City codes that give restaurants the ability to allow dogs onto dining patios with their owners. Along Second Street in Belmont Shore, whether on the patio or leashed next to patio railings, canines and humans dining together are de riguer. And several restaurants include dog menus.
• The city was once home to multiple American Kennel Club Eukanuba National Championships.
Of course, we can't forget Long Beach's most famous "dog" – rapper Snoop Dogg. But since his Poly High days he's switched teams to run with the felines. He goes by Snoop Lion now.
We're even the home to the aptly named sculptor Stan Pawlowski, who among his credits has been licensed to create products of the late Charles Shulz's "Peanuts" cast, including Snoopy. A $270,000 Pawlowski-created 4-foot-tall Charlie Brown and Snoopy decorates Railroad Square in Schulz's hometown of Santa Rosa.
Although Long Beach likes to claim it is the "most bike friendly" city in the United States, a dog friendly claim might be more accurate. It is estimated Long Beach is home to 100,000 dogs, about 35 to 40 percent of which are registered, said Ted Stevens, manager of the city's Animal Care Services.
Go online and you can find assorted dog meet-ups, play dates, fun clubs and mutt mingles.
Long Beach boasts a flourishing cottage industry of pet groomers, dog sitters and walkers, doggie day cares, trainers, even the occasional animal psychic. Among our pooch population, we have assorted therapy dogs, rescue dogs, police dogs, mascots and just plain old man's best friends.
On any given weekend, there are pet adoptions and vaccination clinics scattered throughout town.
According to a study by the American Pet Products Association, pet businesses are now a $55.5 billion industry nationally. Americans own about 70 million dogs, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Dog owners spend an average $364 to purchase the animals. Those surveyed spent an average $700 on their pets annually, not including veterinary surgeries and kenneling. The study said pet owners will spend an average of $11,000 in the life of an animal.
Perhaps Councilman Robert Garcia, himself an owner of a Pomeranian named Anakin, sums it up best: "I think it's one of the things that makes Long Beach special. We love our dogs. They love us, and we love them right back."
Officials from Long Beach Animal Control Services have some practical dos and don'ts for dog owners.
1. Microchip your dog.
If your dog runs off, is lost or stolen, it is the best way for the animal to be safely returned home. At Long Beach Animal Care Services, dogs that have been gone as long as five years and from as far away as Visalia have been found and reunited with their families.
2. License your dog
In addition to it being California municipal law, licensing of animals serves as a rabies control measure. It is also a means that allows animals and families to be reunited if they become separated.
3. Spay or neuter your dog.
"This is huge," said Ted Stevens, manager of Animal Control Services. "If your (unfixed) dog gets out, it's either going to impregnate another dog or become impregnated, and you're going to have a litter of puppies." A number of low-cost spay and neutering services, some free for low-income residents, can be found in Long Beach. Information: 562-570-7387 or www.longbeach.gov/acs/spay_n_neuter_programs/
4. Maintain vaccinations.
Updated vaccinations can protect your pet from a multitude of infections that can be deadly. This can be particularly true if your dog comes across wildlife that can carry numerous diseases, including rabies. Many low-cost vaccination clinics are available in Long Beach.
5. Exercise and socialize your dog
"A lot of people just dump the dog in the backyard," Stevens said. Walking and socializing will make your dog, and you, healthier and happier. For the dog, socializing with other animals gives the animal better balance in its life. And for owners, it's a great way to meet people and see parts of Long Beach you might otherwise miss.
1. Walk dog off leash
"I know every dog is the best behaved in the world," Stevens says jokingly, but it's unlawful and unsafe to walk with a dog off the leash. Also a person is liable for mishaps and damage done in public by dogs. A leash must be no more than 6 feet.
2. Forget to pick up after your dog.
It's not only required to clean up after your dog, it's just the right thing to do. Dog feces can carry deadly parvovirus and countless parasites and bacteria and is even a pollutant to water sources. And as anyone who has ever stepped in dog poop knows, it isn't pleasant.
3. Let your dog bark incessantly
Long Beach has municipal ordinances against excessive barking by dogs. In addition, it is plain unneighborly not to deal with an overly talkative pet. If complaints are filed and not dealt with, citations, penalties and even criminal complaints can be filed.
4. Commit to pet ownership on a whim
Owning a dog is a long-term and serious commitment. While there are numerous psychological and emotional benefits to owning a pet, feeding, vaccinating, exercising and socializing a pet can be expensive and time consuming. "People need to consider the ongoing price of pet ownership," Stevens said. "I wish people understood the responsibility. And it's not just for a year or two."
5. Leave a dog in a hot car
There really is no excuse for "idiots who lock dogs in a car," Stevens said. Although reliable numbers of how many dogs die in hot cars are hard to find, it's an ongoing problem. Dogs are particularly susceptible to heat stroke and brain damage from excessive temperatures, because they can only cool themselves through panting and sweating from the paws. Numerous studies show that within 15 minutes, even in a car with windows cracked, temperatures can escalate to deadly or injurious levels.

Hulu to Receive As Many As 5 First-Round Bids

Google, Yahoo, Amazon and DISH Network are all preparing bids for the acquisition of Hulu
(Source: great-deal.eu)
Among those who have prepared bids for Hulu are Google, Yahoo, Amazon and DISH Network
We learned just a few months ago that Hulu had placed a "for sale" sign on its store window, and now, the video streaming subscription service site is to receive about five
first-round bids
Earlier this year, Hulu, which is owned by Walt Disney Co., News Corp., Comcast Corp. and Providence Equity Partners Inc., was working to renew licensing agreements in order to increase its value on the open market. In June, Fox Broadcasting Co. renewed its licensing agreement, which brought shows like "Family Guy," "Glee," and "The Simpsons" back to Hulu. With such agreements in its back pocket, Hulu had something to offer subscribers and could finally have a shot at attracting a buyer.
went up for sale
in late June, almost immediately after
Yahoo approached Hulu
about a possible acquisition, yet Hulu wasn't ready to sell at that point.
Now, Hulu is to receive as many as five first-round bids where each offer included terms for programming rights. Bid prices are still unclear, but the
Wall Street Journal
expects that bids will range between $500 million and $2 billion.
Among those who have prepared bids for Hulu are Google, Yahoo, Amazon and DISH Network.
Hulu's owners will grant the winner five years of rights to TV shows, which includes two years of exclusivity. According to Chase Carey, chief operating officer of News Corp., the sale process is trucking alone right on schedule.
"We'll see where it ultimately ends up," said Carey. "For us, it's still a decision to see what it looks like at the end, and does it make sense to pursue that path, or does it make sense for us to stay in an ownership position and continue to have it driven by content owners."
It's tough for video streaming services to compete in a very Netflix-driven world, but with recent issues like Netflix's
subscription price hikes
its loss
of the satellite TV channel Starz (which is supposedly going to release its movies through contractual negotiations with DISH's Blockbuster streaming movie service), new competitors could give Netflix a run for its money.
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

Carnival Glory - Eastern Caribbean: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by shai
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Glory - Eastern Caribbean
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
I am convinced that opinions about quality of food on cruise lines vary because of the vast backgrounds of travelers. For instance, if you live in a city with many fine restaurants and dining options, you would not be impressed with the food on the ship. If, on the other hand, you rarely dine out and live in a smaller community where there are fewer dining options, you might think the food was fairly good. Bottom line, I do not think that anyone raved about the food on this ship.
The entertainment was also unimpressive. The More comedy was only funny to passengers 40 and over (and that might be a little on the lower end of the age group). The ship shopping director and cruise director were on the intercom constantly -- even early in the morning. There was way too much pushing of spa activities and excursions. The announcements really became irritating. I even called down to the head office to complain.
Camp Carnival is located right on top of the spa -- poor choice. You could hear the kids at times during spa treatments.
Finally, DO NOT GO ON THE SUBMARINE-LIKE boat tour. There is one offered that is an actual submarine -- this might be nice, however the cheaper alternative which is like a 2 hour tour, was horrible -- it was a waste of money and you will be screaming or boredom to get back to shore.
I loved the coffee/dessert bar on board. You had to pay for items there, but they were reasonably priced. The ship photograph stations had nice options for backdrops. Less

His eyes were piercing but his visage was made plain by a disproportionate nose.
Dark as was the hall, he could see that Mr. Clancy's visage was stern.

In order to validate the new
ServerSocket APIs in AIR 2, I wrote an application called HTTPeek. HTTPeek is a proxy server that sits between your browser and the network, and can show you HTTP request and response headers. It can handle compressed content, chunked content, binary content, etc. Check out the video below to see it in action:
Most of the HTTPeek code is dedicated to implementing just enough of the HTTP protocol to be an effective proxy, but the socket portion of the code is actually not all that complex. And the creation of the
ServerSocket itself is very simple. The function below gets called when the user clicks on the "Listen" button:
private function onListen():void{this.sockets = new Array();this.server = new ServerSocket();this.server.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect);try{this.server.bind(Number(this.portNumber.text), String(this.interfaces.value));this.server.listen();this.listenButton.label = "Close";}catch (e:Error){Alert.show(e.message, "Error", Alert.OK);return;}this.debugButton.enabled = true;}
HTTPeek is open-source and hosted here on Google Code. Feel free to check out the source to see how it works.

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, President of the Council on Interreligious Dialogue, has issued a statement marking the end of Ramadan.
The key section: "There are many causes for violence among believers of different religious traditions, including: the manipulation of the religion for political or other ends; discrimination based on ethnicity or religious identity; divisions and social tensions. Ignorance, poverty, underdevelopment are also direct or indirect sources of violence among as well as within religious communities. May the civil and religious authorities offer their contributions in order to remedy so many situations for the sake of the common good of all society! May the civil authorities safeguard the primacy of the law by ensuring true justice to put a stop to the authors and promoters of violence!"

Two artists are going head to head in a "KISS It or Diss It" battle. Here's the premise, each night I'm going to take two new songs and pit them against each other for your love and affection.But you have to be sure to vote to make sure your favorite makes it to the next round!
Jessica Sanchez Feat. Ne-Yo 'Tonight
At the age 11 Jessica performed in the first season of 'The Voice' she then came back for more when she took on American Idol and was runner up in season 11. She came in second to the one and only Phillip Phillips! She has a new album coming out on April 30th, and the first single off that album she teamed up with Ne-Yo. Check out the song and then be sure to vote for your favorite of the two songs below!!
Cazzette 'Beam Me Up'

What else is needed? > > Uh..., just the names of the program(s) (and where they may be found) > that you use to group the elements. I use PassUpdate, available from Kelso's web site. I thought that's how most people updated their elements. I found it to be the fastest, easiest way to freshen elements. For those that don't know, here's how it works. I have over a dozen different groupings of elements (naked eye visual, sync, low incl, high drag, etc,) containing 100s or 1000s of elsets. I made up the groups years ago and just add an occasional new object when desired. There are also programs like Eleman and some from Alphonse Pouplier that can take large element files and extract elements based on given characteristics. So now that you have all these various elsets, how do you update them? I get Alldat (other files can be used depending on what you're updating) and rename it as required. I simply run Passupdate and in several seconds to a minute, 100s - 1000s of elsets have been processed. You have the option of doing all, or just those groups that you mark, at one time. PU just updates the element portion. The name line (many of mine have comments on them) remains untouched. Other programs that I've seen take a large file and extract elements and names according to selection groups that you preset. You actually make new groups each time you use the program. You can't keep your own names that way, you use whatever comes with the elements. PU keeps your groups as they are and just freshens the elements. You can have old elements in a group without them being lost. If a new elset is not available, the old one is just skipped. If desired, an option will prompt you and ask if you want the old set deleted. As each elset is processed, it is color coded to show age. Pause time between each elset can be varied. Do it slow if you want to see what happens to each elset. I think I have it set to .001 second to have things zip along.

Chinese laptop maker Lenovo is recalling another 1,200 of its notebook PC batteries from the Australasian market, as part of its second global recall in six months.
Lenovo has issued a worldwide voluntary recall for about 208,000 Sanyo lithium-ion batteries that are used in its ThinkPad computers following five separate reports of the batteries overheating.
The warning comes six months after Lenovo and IBM recalled about 526,000 Sony lithium-ion batteries that were used in their notebooks, which was part of a much larger recall of the Sony batteries.
Lenovo's Australian spokeswoman Heather Jones said there were about 1,200 Sanyo batteries in the Australian and New Zealand market that were being recalled.
"A very strong external impact has an effect on the battery and may trigger an overheating incident if it's dropped at desk height and at a certain angle," Ms Jones said.
"It's a very containable risk and a relatively low risk but we take it seriously enough to say if there is any kind of risk, we'd prefer to withdraw that from the market."
Ms Jones said the recall only applied to nine-cell batteries used in the R60, T60 and Z series notebooks.
Lenovo is offering to replace the batteries for free to customers who bought these systems or an optional or replacement battery between November 2005 and February 2007.
