CAP CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's newest robotic explorer, Maven, is on its way to Mars.
The Maven spacecraft blasted off aboard an unmanned rocket from Cape Canaveral on Monday. It will take Maven 10 months to reach Mars following a journey of more than 440 million miles.
[PICS: Maven launche| VIDEO: Launch ]
This is NASA's 21st mission to Mars since the 1960s. But it's the first one devoted to studying the Martian upper atmosphere.
Scientists want to know why Mars went from being warm and wet during its first billion years, to the cold and dry place it is today. The early Martian atmosphere was thick enough to hold water and possibly support microbial life. But much of that atmosphere may have been lost to space, eroded by the sun. Maven may solve this case of mysterious climate change.
"We expect to learn how the modern Mars works, really in detail. To see its climate state, to understand how the atmosphere is lost to space -- how Mars may have lost a magnetic field -- to take that information and map it back in time, " said NASA's James Garvin.
The robotic explorer lifted off by means of an United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, into space on Monday afternoon on a 10-month journey to the red planet. It will orbit Mars and study the atmosphere to try to understand how the planet morphed from warm and wet to cold and dry.
The solar-powered probe is about the length of school bus -- 37.5 feet (11.43 meters) long -- and will weigh about 5,410 pounds (2,454 kg) at launch. It will orbit between a low of about 93 miles (150 kilometers) above the surface to a high of about 3,728 miles (6,000 kilometers). It also will make five dives, flying as low as 77 miles (125 kilometers) in altitude.
"MAVEN will fill in a very big gap in our understanding of the planet by exploring the upper atmosphere and its influence on the Martian environment," principal investigator Bruce Jakosky, from the University of Colorado, said on his NASA webpage.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Although Jarrod Parker is still fairly new to playoff races, the Oakland right-hander is pretty sure it's best to be aggressive in September, whether on the mound or in the standings.
The rookie's take-charge approach got the Athletics off to a great start in another big series against the surging Los Angeles Angels.
Parker pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Brandon Moss and Cliff Pennington homered, and the A's snapped the Angels' six-game winning streak with a 3-1 victory Monday night.
With his second straight impressive start against Los Angeles after a hard-luck loss last week, Parker (10-8) and his bullpen held the Angels' surging lineup to four hits. Parker beat the Angels for the first time in his career by going right at Albert Pujols, Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo, holding Los Angeles to one run for only the second time in its last 22 games.
''They were aggressive as well, so I tried to get some early contact, early outs,'' Parker said. ''It's fun. These are the kind of starts that we need, and everybody is going to feed off this kind of energy.''
Coco Crisp hit a leadoff triple and scored for the A's, who opened a key four-game series against their California rivals with a measure of revenge for the Angels' three-game sweep in Oakland last week. Those are the only losses since Aug. 23 for the A's, who have won 13 of 16.
''It was definitely a big game for us,'' Pennington said. ''They came into our place and did what they needed to do, so we needed to come in here that way. This was a good start. Right now, every game is huge. There's one or two differences in every game.''
Ryan Cook worked the eighth, and Grant Balfour finished uneventfully for his 17th save.
Dan Haren (10-11) pitched into the seventh inning, allowing just four hits and striking out four. But Oakland turned those hits into three runs, and Haren took his first loss since Aug. 16.
Torii Hunter drove in Trout with a third-inning double for the Angels (77-64), who had won 11 of 12 and 15 of 18 in their desperate late surge to join the playoff race.
''I'm not surprised anymore at what they're doing,'' Hunter said of the A's. ''I mean, we were surprised when they first started doing it in early August, but I'm not surprised any more. They're playing the game, and they've got some really good arms over there.''
With its first home loss in seven games, Los Angeles blew a chance to pull within a half-game of Baltimore (78-62) for the second AL wild-card spot. Tampa Bay (77-63) is between the Orioles and the Angels.
Oakland (80-60), which is in the first wild-card slot, is 20 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2006 season - also the year of the team's last postseason appearance. The A's pulled within three games of idle Texas (83-57) atop the AL West.
''Nothing really surprises me in baseball anymore after the way last season finished, and with the way the Orioles and A's are playing this year,'' Haren said. ''We're getting to the point where they're not going away, so it's going to be a fight to the finish and the better team is going to win.''
Crisp hit Haren's first pitch of the night high off the right-field wall, easily reaching third before scoring on Seth Smith's groundout. Oakland didn't lead at any point in last week's three losses to the Angels, who outscored the A's 21-5 in the East Bay.
Trout and Hunter evened it in the third inning when Trout walked, stole second, advanced on an error and trotted home on Hunter's double down the right-field line.
Hunter was greeted each inning in right field by a long row of fans wearing fluorescent-yellow T-shirts and holding up signs spelling ''Keep Torii!'' The beloved outfielder can become a free agent this winter.
Haren retired 12 straight A's on just 38 pitches after Crisp's triple, but Moss led off the fifth with his 17th homer. Pennington added his fifth of the season in the sixth inning, also reaching the elevated stands above right field.
NOTES: Angels manager Mike Scioscia said ace Jered Weaver will start Thursday against the A's after skipping a start to rest the tendinitis in his right shoulder. Weaver, who felt strong after a bullpen session Monday, would be lined up to start the Angels' final game of the season if he returns Thursday. ... Jerome Williams gets a spot start in Weaver's place when the Angels face the A's on Tuesday night. Oakland counters with Dan Straily, who will make his fourth major league start in Brandon McCarthy's slot in the rotation. ... Los Angeles reliever Nick Maronde gave up a single to Moss after relieving Haren in the seventh. Maronde, a third-round pick in 2011, had struck out each of the first four batters he faced in his major league career since getting promoted from Double-A Arkansas on Sept. 1.

Thanks. For completeness, here is the whole poem:
I have a mania for well-bound tomes
With gilded spines embracing noun and verb
A bibliophilic urge I cannot curb
'Twould drive, I fear, most spouses from their homes.
Yet, though I love my mate with all my heart
I ogle those stout volumes on my shelf
And whisper "darling darlings" to myself
As maudlin aesthetes gush at works of art.
In Greece, men went to Delphi for a sign
To tell their fortune, be it bright or bleak
My oracles are books, all of which speak
Profound but cryptic wisdom in each line.
One volume lauds the innate good of man
With quotes from Plato, Kant, and Oscar Wilde
While some say man's a tramp—from birth defiled
And doomed to suffer under God's strange plan.
The musings of mankind are gathered here
Child-rearing, statecraft, money, myths and maps
A mixed milieu? A hodgepodge? Aye, perhaps,
But apt to rev my sluggish thinking gear.
My world is what I read and what I know
Fact, fiction, drama, plain or complex verse
Await with holy wisdom to disburse
A buzz of joy - and long may it be so.

PortraitsLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
There were 9 portraits of animals (bear, cat, dog, hamster, horse, lion, monkey, mouse, and tiger) on a wall of a museum. As I was studying them, I tripped and fell into the wall and they all fell down. I have to get them back up on the wall in the correct order before I get into some serious trouble. I only remember a couple of things about the order of the portraits. Can you help me figure out the order of the portraits using the clues I remember about them?
They were displayed as follows:
Note: The Letter and Numbers in the graph are labels for their corresponding rows.
1 _________ l _________ l _________
2 _________ l _________ l _________
3 _________ l _________ l _________
1. The bear is in the same row as the hamster.
2. Two portraits in both rows 3 and C have two animals that start with the same letter.
3. The horse is in the same row as the monkey.
4. The dog is in 2A.
5. Either the lion or the tiger is below the cat.
6. The monkey is either above or below the dog.
7. The dog is not next to the tiger.

I just made up a good marinade. One of those times when I'm just wingin' it.
Really simple - - equal parts dijon mustard, olive oil and honey. I thought about adding a little brown sugar, but then thought the sweetness would be a bit much. Anyway, if you want to whip up something real quick and simple, give it a try. It's really good. I'm grilling some chicken breasts tonight with it.

Who loves being a blogger? I doooooo! Being able to share my life with you guys is only one of the perks of my blogging life. Getting invited to some of the hottest events around is another one. A BIG thanks to CoverGirl for inviting me to P!nk's Truth About Love Tour!
If she hasn't hit your town yet, I suggest looking into tix, even if you're the slightest fan. It was one of the most entertaining concerts I've been too. She's so fun! Not only is P!nk awesomely fit (more like bad ass) and acrobatic, but I love how unapologetic she is. And she's one of my favorite CoverGirls. She's always honest and seems like she stays true to who she really is. That can't be easy in Hollywood.
I took a lot of photos that night, but I couldn't figure out the setting on my camera. And that girl was flying all over the place, so a lot of my pics came out blurry! Boooooo! I've included a few below that did come out. The first one is the opening act, The Hives. They're awesome too! Oh and there's a little video at the end! Enjoy P!nk fans!

SAMPLE STUDY GUIDE ��� The Crucible
Act One
SETTING: 1692, Salem, Mass., Reverend Parris���s house
SUMMARY: As the scene opens, Samuel Parris is praying over his daughter
Betty who lies motionless on the bed. His niece Abigail enters and they
discuss the girls��� meeting in the forest with Tituba. Parris warns Abigail
about messing with spirits. The Putnams arrive and inform Parris of the
latest rumors about Betty and Tituba���s involvement with the girls. While he
goes down to see his congregation, Abigail organizes the girls' stories and
threatens them if they tell what really happened. Later, Abigail confesses
her love to John Proctor, but he denies any feelings for her. When Betty
begins wailing during the singing from downstairs, everyone runs up. Rebecca
Nurse calms her, but Putnam demands an investigation. Proctor is against it
because he thinks it is all nonsense. Reverend Hale, an expert on
witchcraft, arrives to examine Betty, and Abigail accuses Tituba of being a
witch. Upon threat of hanging, Tituba confesses, and she, Abigail, and Betty
name many names of women they have ���seen with the Devil.���
Samuel Parris: reverend of the Salem congregation; a widower and father of
Betty; believed he was always being persecuted by the community; more worried
about the effect of Betty���s illness on his career than he is about her
Tituba: Parris���s slave from Barbados; accused of conjuring the dead;
confesses under pressure and names names to avoid being hanged
Abigail: Parris���s 17-year-old niece whose parents were killed by Indians;
like to cause trouble; fired by Goody Proctor; organizes the girls��� cover
story about their forest ���activities���; in love with John Proctor; names women
she supposedly saw with the Devil
Susanna Walcott: messenger for the doctor
Mrs. Putnam: a 45-year-old woman who lost seven babies in childbirth and now
has a sick daughter Ruth; accuses Betty of flying; dislikes many of the women
of the community; seems bitter and envious
Thomas Putnam: feels wronged by the community; a bitter man; wants to ruin
Parris; dislikes John Proctor
Mercy Lewis: the Putnams��� 18-year-old servant; sly and merciless; danced
naked in the forest
Mary Warren: John Proctor���s 17-year-old servant; also involved in the
conspiracy; urges the girls to tell the truth about what happened in the
Betty: Parris���s daughter; tries to fly out the window; accuses Abigail of
drinking blood as a charm to kill John Proctor���s wife
John Proctor: respected, honest; knows he���s imperfect; regrets his former
involvement with Abigail; thinks the witchcraft business is a hoax
Rebecca Nurse: 72, gentle, sent to calm Betty; very practical; prays for
Giles Corey: 83, inquisitive, powerful for his age; asks Hale about his
wife���s reading habits
Reverend Hale: witchcraft expert; pressures Tituba into a confession
CONFLICT: One of the major conflicts of this act is Abigail vs. the other
girls who danced together in the forest. Betty���s extreme actions in this act
are clearly in response to her fear of Abigail, and I don���t blame her for
being scared. Abigail seems ready to go to any lengths to save her own name
and to get what she wants, even at the expense of innocent lives.

In A Legacy of "Stuff" (part 1) and A Legacy of "Stuff" (part 2), we discussed what to do with the "stuff" left behind by someone who passed away. It was hard to write and hard for you to read. Now let's move into an even MORE difficult area — the stuff that WE will leave behind. (By the way, I can't find any material already written on this subject. Apparently, everyone else also thinks it's hard to write about.)If you plan to leave something to the next generation or to your friends, do some very good communicating with them now to see if they would want it. If not, realize that your cherished items might be more burden than bounty to people you love. Most of all, let them know what is important or valuable, so they don't decide everything you own is clutter, and toss it out.
Here is a true story that will get you on board more than anything I could write. George, a fire fighter, told of being at a holiday gathering shortly after his beloved Aunt Nora had been moved in to a nursing home. Her idea of living a frugal life was to never throw away anything. She had no children of her own, so everyone in the family pitched in to clear out her house. It was exhausting work; emptying the basement alone filled two huge dumpsters.
These workers were mostly adult nieces and nephews who adored their Aunt Nora, but they had families of their own, jobs to go to, lawns to mow, and they were running out of steam. By the time they started on the first floor, they didn't have the energy to make great decisions, so they gave away and tossed out most of Aunt Nora's stuff.
At the gathering of the clan, George heard a lively discussion going on in the living room with several of Aunt Mary's sisters who were visiting from California. Then his cousin walked into the kitchen looking ghostly pale. She turned to her husband and said, "You know how we all thought Aunt Nora was poor as a church mouse? Well, all those boxes of glass contained extremely expensive Waterford crystal that was almost one hundred years old that she inherited from her mother."
George said, "I don't remember who we gave all those boxes to. Do you?" She replied, "We tossed every one of them in the dumpster."
Isn't that heart breaking? But that happens in many families. Sometimes items tossed out weren't of financial value, but the family didn't realize that the lovely candlesticks they gave to Goodwill were brought over from the old country by their grandmother.
We had something like that in our family. I was out of the country when my cousin started emptying his mom's house after she moved to Assisted Living. By the time I joined him in the work, he had tossed out every box that was in the basement and crawl space. Then we discovered that he had thrown out the only photos of his little brother who had passed away. He, his mom and the rest of us all felt terrible about it, but he just didn't know. The box wasn't labeled.
Difficult as it might be, it is crucial to tell people what is important.
Yes, I do know that nobody wants to talk about what will happen with their stuff when then die, but you need to tell someone the stories that go with family treasures. Tell them what items are an important part of their heritage. Tell them what is valuable. Tell them who should get certain items. Ask them if they want that item.
Maybe you are the one who cherishes the family history and you have ALL the family photos. But if you tell your kids about it and nobody wants it, wouldn't it be better to pass that on to a relative would love to keep those pictures for future generations instead of having your kids toss them out?
Danielle, my wonderful literary agent, tells of how her grandmother taped cards on back of things — letting the family know who gets what, and any stories. For example, she wrote: "I received this lace in 1947, it came from my aunt." Once you know something like that about an item, suddenly it becomes precious, doesn't it?
You might think this sounds creepy or scary or morbid. But it simply is facing reality. Do you believe that if you don't think about dying or speak about it, then you won't die???
When we are gone, family might sell some things, keep others, but who do you think should get your cherished items? Your books? Your music? Your collections? Your creations? The special things you cook with or work with or play with? Now is the time to figure that out.

Typically, the highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show involve gadgets that are hand-held, pint-sized or oriented towards gaming or communications. However, care manufacturer Kia stole the show at the 2012 CES with the introduction of UVO 2, an innovative infotainment system that promotes safety and even fun. The Kia UVO 2 is an enhanced, polished version of the UVO system Kia debuted two years ago, and it marks a major leap forward for in-car utilities – test the system today at Simi Valley Kia.
The Kia UVO system does bear some similarities to traditional CES offerings, as it features a vibrant-colored, 4.3-inch touch screen in the center of the dashboard. Users of smart phones and tablets will immediately be at ease with Kia UVO, as the screen's resolution and responsiveness are in line with most mobile devices.

Wayne L. Morse United States Courthouse
Eugene, Oregon, USA
Discrete object buildings - a reference back to an
earlier single room courthouse model.
American courthouse architecture has moved away from the use of symbolic iconography to communicate the importance of the judicial process. Courtrooms are now routinely located in generic office towers - effectively repositioning the proceedings as business as usual - thus obscuring the gravity of the judicial process by excising the symbolism inherent in the traditional courtroom.
The Wayne L. Morse United States Courthouse seeks to challenge
this trend by expressing the courtrooms as discrete object
buildings - a reference back to an earlier single room courthouse
The building is composed of two distinct strata, the honorific and the quotidian. The iconic elements are the courtrooms themselves, located in articulated pavilions that float above an orthogonal two-story plinth that houses office and administrative spaces. Their forms refer to the fluid nature of the American Judicial System - a system that is designed to remain flexible by being continuously challenged and reinterpreted by the proceedings of the courts.
The formal and structural organization of the plinth is mimetic
of the Cartesian layout of the city, and thus represents the more
static nature of Eugene's urban fabric upon which the organic and
independent shapes of the courtrooms rest.
Ribbons of steel envelop the pavilions, articulating the movement sequence between the three courtroom clusters. The waiting areas and public corridors that connect the courtroom pavilions provide views to the surrounding mountains and a perception of light and the passage of time.
The entry occurs at the moment where the two systems collide, in
a large open atrium, framed by the base's strict grid and sculpted
by the fluid forms above.
The shapes of the pavilions emanate from the autonomous
courtrooms themselves, whose soft forms are constricted to direct
the focus to the witness stand and judge's bench. The jury boxes
are partially recessed, isolated in an articulated space that
refers to the juror's role as both observer and participant.
In the courtrooms, natural light is admitted through two
thick-walled, large apertures--one above the judge's bench, and one
above the spectator seating. The effect is that of a freestanding
building, a unique and dignified place in which the court's raison
d'être is architecturally legible.

I considered various schools, but the academic atmosphere and close-knit environment at Grove City College stood out to me. I decided to take a chance and apply.

Track changes records every edit without making anything permanent. You can move, copy, delete and insert text, change formatting, even change pictures and insert objects. And the person who sent you the document can see the changes you made and decide whether to accept or reject them. Or you can do the same when others make changes to your document.
Inside this course:
Track changes (2:35)
When you want to see who's changing what in your document (or when you want someone else to see what you changed in their document), turn on Track Changes.
Incorporate revisions with track changes (3:09)
Let's say you're the original writer of a document, and you're reviewing changes suggested by others. As you go through the document, you decide what you want to do with the comments and changes – accept or reject them, either individually or all at once.
Track changes online (3:58)
Collaborating with multiple people can get confusing, because you have to deal with multiple copies of the document. But, what if everyone could work off the same, original document, without making copies? Things would be a lot easier, and you can do that by collaborating online. Here's how it works.
Track changes in email with multiple people (4:40)
If collaborating with others online isn't an option, Word has tools to help you deal with changes in multiple copies. In this video, you'll see how to track changes in email with multiple people. Word lets you combine the documents in such a way that you can see everyone's changes clearly marked in one place.
Customize track changes (2:18)
To help you edit with track changes and comments, there are a number of ways to customize the review tools. Watch this video to learn more.

Would have been nice to have him in the playoffs last year.
stubbs couldnt even do that
Did anyone else have problems getting mlbtv.com to load for the game? Trying to watch it on tv but Yankess game still on.
Johnny really mixed up his pitches that inning. He took advantage of the opponents early season adrenaline by going with a lot of off-speed stuff. Nice inning!

This beer tastes better today than normal. Must be Opening Day!
2014 Reds record: 1-2
I look like a banker in this...
Choo already working on that obp!
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
He put together a few MVP-calibar seasons, now the fans wish he had stayed?
I can just see why he's so cold to the Cincy fans. The Cincy press wasn't exactly friendly to him after he was traded as well.
Honestly, those relapses he had were pretty minor compared to what some other players have done.. He got drunk and maybe/probably had an affair? I don't excuse that behavior, but plenty of other players do it without getting it plastered all over the internet.
His addiction to energy drinks (or whatever he was taking) was bad too, because it got so bad that he couldn't play a few games, but it's not as if it was that big of an impact.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..

AUSTRALIA is pinning its hopes on a special meeting next year of an Antarctic conservation authority to approve Southern Ocean marine reserves after they were blocked in Hobart this week.
Australian delegation leader Tony Fleming said he was disappointed at the failure, particularly of a joint plan with France and the European Union for 1.9 million square kilometres of reserves off the coast of east Antarctica.
"Our scientists and the French did a huge amount of work to generate this proposal," Dr Fleming said.
The proposal, and a joint US-New Zealand plan to protect much of the Ross Sea, met opposition from China and Russia in the meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).
The commission, which has 25 members, including the European Union, needed unanimous approval to establish the reserves.
"Some members said they just needed more time to consider the science and implications of the proposals," Dr Fleming said.
The Australian government was looking to the special meeting of the commission in Germany in July to approve the reserves, he said.
"We expect at the July meeting members should come with positive intentions," he said.
Veteran environmental campaigner Jim Barnes said the failure left him feeling sad and angry.
"My first CCAMLR meeting was during the negotiation of the convention in 1980 and I have followed its evolution since," said Mr Barnes, the executive director of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition.
"CCAMLR has prided itself on being in the forefront of marine conservation, but this year has been unable to honour important commitments."
The main Antarctic fishers' organisation said it was disappointed with the lack of a result on marine protection.
The chairman of the Coalition of Legal Toothfishers, Martin Exel, said the coalition supported the Ross Sea and east Antarctic proposals, but during the meeting it became clear differing views were impossible to reconcile.
An official commission statement said the organisation's history showed that significant decisions, such as establishing marine protected areas, required a substantial amount of time and consideration.
"However, history also shows that CCAMLR has implemented a large range of conservation measures addressing, for example, seabird bycatch, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and the implementation of conservation measures that protect vulnerable marine ecosystems," the statement said.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Scouts, Guides and Cubs and Brownies and are definitely on to something when they say that a happy camper is a prepared camper - or something like that. We think they'll be impressed with our list. We hope you are, too.
It's important to research weather patterns for areas you are unfamiliar with and the best advice can be gained from the park rangers or tourist bureaus.
Have a camping backpack ready to go to make packing for camping easier. Include a cutlery set; dinner plates and bowls, cups and mugs, a flashlight with new batteries, a first aid kit, a couple of packets of waterproof matches and a Swiss army knife. After each camping trip wash and clean the contents and repack the bag ready for the next trip.
Garage sales and country fairs are great places for picking up second-hand camping gear.
Don't wait until you are in the middle of nowhere before you realise your lantern doesn't work, you're missing all the tent pegs or that you have a hole in your airbed. Always thoroughly test your equipment before you leave home.
Wire toasters are available in most camping stores and cost very little. To use one effectively, the wire mesh needs to be underneath near the heat and the toast rack on top. Place it over a low flame, or coals, so the wire just turns red. If flames don't come through the wire mesh, your bread should toast beautifully.
Stretcher beds are great for kids and save having to blow up numerous air beds. They cost very little and pack away neatly into a small bag that is easily carried. They also make great beds for sleep overs at home.
Keep a list of what you need to take at home and update it after each camping trip, as it is the kind of activity where experience counts for a lot. If you refer to your list when packing you won't forget a thing. Download the camping packing checklist.
You can hang a food safe such as a Hessian bag or large string bag from the branches of a tree to stop animals getting at it. This should also be done with rubbish bags. If you leave them on the ground they will certainly be torn apart by the next morning. Alternatively, store perishable food not kept in the Esky in your car overnight.
If you can find a strong branch lying around that has lots of short branches still attached, hang it from a tree to air wet towels. Tie a piece of rope around the top of the branch and dangle it from a tree so the short branches reach upwards.
Collect candle stubs at home to take camping because these make perfect fire starters. Just light and place in the fire under the tinder.
If you are going to fry fish in a pan, line it with aluminium foil first to save washing up and also preventing lingering fishy smells.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 1 Peter 5:10
This painting is inspired from the Bible verses and teaching from a great book titled, Battlefield of the Mind, by Joyce Meyers. Recognize that our soul has an enemy who is a liar and a murderer. Lies are a key weapon that he uses to depress and defeat us.
Focus and renew your mind with the truth of Holy Scripture. Concentrate on Gods thoughts about who you are in Jesus Christ.
When God sends a message to us through scripture it is never by accident. In Isaiah 55:11, God says that wherever He sends His word it never returns empty, but always achieves the special purpose for which it was sent.
Prayerfully consider the bible verse that inspired this painting and know that the Mighty God of all the heavens has reached out to touch you this moment!

Hello Bird Forumers. I thought I'd take the time to formally introduce myself.
I am Roxy and am usually a dog forumer, myself. I have two Rough Collies and a German Shepherd, which I will post pics of as soon as I can figure out what happened to my photobucket account. It went weird on me after two years and now won't show pictures. Dakota is my GSD. She's a rescue that my husband fostered and ended up adopting at 6 months. She's a wonderful, loving dog who is now 4 years old. Faith is my almost 5 year old blue merle Rough Collie. She's perfect. There is no other way to describe her. Then there is Dixie. She's now 16 months. We got her at 6 months as a private adoption. She had a severe case of demodex mites and was absolutely miserable. It took 6 months and a lot of money (I'm afraid to add it all up) to fix her, but she's now doing great. She's a total mommas girl and a purebred love. She and I will be starting our Rally Obedience competitions in a couple weeks. I have no expectations of her, lol, just want to give it a try.
I also have three cats. Sig is a black and white tuxedo male that hates people and the world. He lives outside 100% of the time by choice. Whitey Kitty is a stray that we recently discovered hanging out with Sig. He is sweet and has started coming inside at night. He gets along great with the dogs and other cats. And then CAT. He's an orange tabby kitten that I've always wanted. He's a complete nut, but I love him to death. He's 100% indoor. I wish they all were, but Sig chooses to stay outside and howls and sprays when inside. Whitey might become indoors, but he is a stray, so we'll see.
Let's see... what else might I have... hamsters? No. Rabbits? No. Bird? Oh yeah, lol, it is a bird forum after all.
Meet Rosco P. Birdrain. I originally had named him Daisy Duke until I found out not long after getting him that she was a he. I had a Daisy, Bo and Luke, all clutch mates. I chose Rosco because I had never known such a sweet, cuddly bird. He's become my sidekick. If we can get through some of these behavior issues he's having, life will be grand with my little Green Cheek. He's now eight months old and becoming a little jerk. I love him anyway.
And here is my baby boy. I would post regular pics if I could figure out why photobucket is completely gone for my computer. But, this is cute anyway.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The family of Michelle Parker, the Central Florida mother who vanished in 2011, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her ex-fiance -- the prime suspect in her disappearance.
John Morgan's firm, Morgan & Morgan, said Thursday that a lawsuit has been filed against Dale Smith Jr.
Smith, who was the last person to see Parker, has custody of their twins and has not been arrested.
The lawsuit alleges Smith is responsible for the death of Parker, who was last seen in November 2011.
"I think what its done for the family is ripped it apart," said Morgan of the investigation's progress. "This is really about accountability and people answering questions that really haven't been answered yet."
The lawsuit alleges "on November 17, Smith was negligent or otherwise committed a wrongful act and caused the death of Michelle Parker."
Parker was reported missing after the airing of a pre-recorded episode of the TV show "The People's Court," which featured the two in a dispute over her engagement ring.
Morgan said the lawsuit is about getting Smith to talk.
Yvonne does not believe that there's been cooperation the way there should be," Morgan said. "I don't believe the police believe there has been either."
Attorney Mark NeJame represents Smith and says that Smith has told all that he knows.
"There's simply nothing that links Dale Smith to Michelle Parker's disappearance or death," NeJame said. "It's not going to go anywhere. This is going to be an exercise in futility."
Several searches have been launched in an effort to locate Parker, but none has been successful.

WILTSHIRE men bounced back from their away defeat to Somerset to beat Middlesex at North Wilts (Chippenham) in their latest county friendly match.
Led by county indoor president Keith Baker (Westlecot) they won by 11 shots last Saturday, as they ran-out 120-109 victors in the home match and took the honours on four of the six rinks.
Top honours went to the rink skipped by Alan Small (North Wilts) who recorded the biggest winning margin of nine shots.
There were also victories for Westlecot skip Ron Salsbury (five shots) and North Wilts skips Maurice Byron (four shots) and Bob Roberts-Phare (two shots).
The battle of the presidents was won by Keith Baker, who came out on top on rink four over Middlesex president Tony Paulley in a close game by two shots.
It was very pleasing outcome for the Wiltshire president, who had suffered a big rink loss against Somerset a week earlier.
"The team showed their metal coming back from an early deficit to draw ahead and stayed there up to the end," said Baker. "This makes it the fourth win of the season, something we haven't achieved for many years, all down to some very fine play by the Wiltshire men.
"In some instances stout defensive work on those Wiltshire rinks where we were unsuccessful was as important as those rinks which won."
Rink 1: Jim Cremin (Westlecot), Frank Etherington (Swindon Manor), Jim Wilkie (North Wilts) & Ron Salsbury (West) beat Stephen Gibson 23-18.
Rink 2: Derek Smith (SM), Martin Clark (NW), Steve Gedge (Christie Miller) & Maurice Byron (NW) beat Richard Kirk 22-18.
Rink 3: Don French (NW), Gerry Vincent (West), Clive Swift & Roger Button (both NW) lost to Eric Prior 15-20.
Rink 4: John White (West), Peter Naish (NW), Keith Baker (West) & Bob Roberts-Phare (NW) beat Dave Pitt 19-17.
Rink 5: John Duncan (CM), Roger Harris, Peter Sanders & Dave Williams (all NW) lost to Andy Docker 19-23.
Rink 6: Mick Walker (West), Tony Watchman, Alan Greenland & Alan Small (all NW) beat Andy Knott 22-13.
Score: Wiltshire beat Middlesex 120-109.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The city of Jacksonville, First Coast No More Homeless Pets and the Jacksonville Humane Society are teaming up to make Jacksonville a "no-kill" city. The move is expected to save the lives of thousands of animals in Duval County every year.
The decision came "once we realized that other communities were not killing the number dogs and cats that we were, once I realized that I knew that I had to do something in Duval County to make a difference," said the founder of First Coast No More Homeless Pets, Rick Ducharme. "That is our goal every month: to save at least 90 percent of all the pets in the shelter."
Ducharme said he created First Coast No More Homeless Pets with the sole intention of making Duval County and it's surrounding areas a "no-kill" community.
"And we're getting closer to those goals all the time. In fact, in November, it was the first month ever for what I call "no kill month," where we save 90% of all the pets coming into the shelter in Duval County," said Ducharme.
Ducharme said it's taken about 10 years to reach the 90 percent goal, but he's proud of the progress that's been made.
"When we first started, we realized with 33,000 dogs and cats entering the shelter, 22,000 dying 10 years ago every year, that we had to do something to decrease the number of pets entering the shelter," said Ducharme.
The city of Jacksonville focused on spay and neuter programs for the first six years to keep animals from winding up in shelters. Ducharme said then they decreased the number of cats and dogs in shelters to reasonable amounts so they could focus on helping the animals leave the shelters alive.
"First Coast No More Homeless Pets is responsible for decreasing the amount of euthanasia's in Duval county by over 100,000 dogs and cats. And that's really what I struggle for every day. That's what makes all the work worth it," said Ducharme.

No Johnny in Paris?
The Lone Ranger Paris premiere was yesterday. I don't see any photos Johnny Depp there. If you do, let me know. But I can't imagine if he was there that he would have gone unphotographed on the carpet. It was just Armie Hammer. Johnny had been press touring for the movie with Amber Heard and his two kids. Full Story
Johnny's women
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash
They've all been pretty visible the last few days, with the exception of Kate Moss who's been known to attend the MET Gala so it wouldn't be surprising if we see her in New York tonight. Amber Heard was in New York yesterday photographed walking around in a long black and white skirt. Full Story
Worst of 2012: Johnny Depp
Here's a brief recap of Johnny Depp's 2012: Third week of January, PEOPLE Magazine boldly announces on its cover story, several months ahead of everyone else, that Johnny and Vanessa Paradis are done. Some speculate that he's already seeing Amber Heard. Full Story
Johnny's exes: holiday coincidence?
Kate Moss and daughter Lila Grace are currently on holiday in St Tropez. You know who else is in St Tropez? Vanessa Paradis and her children, Lily Rose and Jack. It's a common place to holiday (for rich people). Needless to say, I doubt they're sharing a yacht and I don't think they'll be a friendly dinner, not even a run-in. Full Story
Amber Heard still has a girlfriend
Wenn, Oliver S Wolf/Splash
And a boyfriend? In Touch reported a couple of weeks ago that Amber Heard and her girlfriend Tasya were done. That's In Touch for you. Amber and Tasya stepped out together yesterday. They're not done. That doesn't mean she's not also f-cking Johnny Depp (which, I mean, I still don't feel slamdunk about this one) and she could very well use that to her advantage if she's selling herself as the next Angelina Jolie. Full Story
It's all Vanessa's fault
Here we go. And we were waiting for it, weren't we? This is the cover of the new issue of Us Weekly. Us Weekly is published by Jann Wenner, a good friend of Johnny Depp. Last week I wondered about Us Weekly's coverage of the situation while every other celebrity magazine has pretty much called him out for his mid-life crisis. Full Story
Depp Damage Control
W Johnson/Splash
Is it weird if Johnny Depp's publicist has to work on damage controlling her client's reputation following his breakup from Vanessa Paradis if the breakup had something to do with the publicist? At this point it's not like Robin Baum doesn't know. It's not like she isn't aware that even PEOPLE made mention of her name and the rumours that they've been hooking up in an article about Johnny's single living the other day. Full Story
The breaking of Johnny & Vanessa
Some more insight into the confirmation yesterday that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are over but first, the timing of the announcement was not an accident. They waited for all magazines to close on Monday before releasing their statement yesterday so that they'd be able to avoid the supermarket checkout this weekend. Full Story

• calvous •
Pronunciation: kæl-vês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Bald.
Notes: No, this word has nothing to do with the calves of the legs or small cows. It is rare but still legal; it remains in the Random House dictionary. The noun, meaning "baldness", is calvity, and may be found in the Oxford English dictionary. Most dictionaries list calvities as the noun for today's adjective; however, it is hard to imagine a plural use for calvity.
In Play: Although we strongly advocate careful word selection for clearer speech, there are times when a bit of misguidance is the humane thing to do. If you say something like, "You'll like M. T. Head, Hetty; he is quite a calvous guy," Hetty may keep an eye on M. T.'s legs and miss the fact that he is bald. Americans in the US are constantly looking for euphemisms for words we find embarrassing, so here is a new one: "Either Les Hair's forehead is growing or he is getting a bit calvous."
Word History: The Latin word calvus "bald", from which today's Good Word was borrowed, is directly related to German kahl "bald, naked". It may go back to the same root that turns up in Serbian as glava and Russian as golova "head", though the semantics here is a bit shaky. More likely the root of this word went into the making of Russian golyi "naked" and Serbian go(li) "naked". For sure it has remained in the Romance languages, where calvo still means "bald" in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. In English the same root turned into callow "immature, inexperienced". This term originally referred to naked, unfledged birds.

For more than two years, since my first grandchild showed up in my column, I've heard from hundreds of readers who tell me about their grandchildren and welcome me to the "club."
It's a big club, apparently. Friendly, too. And growing. But we join it for different reasons, willingly or not.
I once knew a woman with a huge and selfless heart, who had raised her own children and a houseful of grandchildren. She loved them all dearly, but was getting on in years and feared quite rightly that she didn't have it in her to take on one more.
That is what she told me after she learned that her drug-addicted daughter, who was serving time in prison, was soon to give birth to her third child.
"I can't do it," she said, crying. "I can't raise another one."
But when that child was born, rather than give him up to foster care, she drove to the prison and brought her grandson home.
I think of her, God rest her soul, when I hear someone say that being a grandparent is one of the greatest joys in life. It should be. And it is for some, absolutely. But not for all.
I am one of the lucky ones. My children were ready to have children. I don't need to parent my grandchildren. I get to be just their nana -- a fact for which I am profoundly thankful. And between you and me, it's about as much as I can manage.
Yesterday, I flew from my home in Las Vegas to Monterey, Calif., where my youngest and his wife had recently given birth to their second child.
My daughter picked me up at the airport with her 1-year-old, Henry. When I called my son to say we were on our way to his place, he said both the baby and his 2-year-old brother had just gone down for a nap.
So I spent an hour at my daughter's, pushing Henry about the house in a plastic car. When I got too tired to push, I let his mama feed him dinner.
Then my son picked me up to go to his place. Baby Wiley was still sleeping, but brother Randy was raring to go. We did puzzles, read books and sat under a blanket pretending that he was hiding from monsters and that I wasn't exhausted.
When I couldn't pretend anymore, I let Randy build Legos with his mama and daddy while I got to know Wiley.
Have you ever looked in the eyes of a newborn and felt him look right back into your soul?
After Wiley got hungry and started gnawing on my fist, I gave him back to his mama. Then I lay with Randy on his bed telling stories -- the same story, over and over -- until he fell asleep. Not everyone can tell a story that puts people to sleep. I consider it a gift.
I slept like the dead in a spare room on an air mattress.
Today it was more of the same -- rocking with Wiley, rolling with Randy. Tomorrow I'll do some more pushing with Henry. When I get tired, I'll give them back to their mamas and daddies. Then I'll stand in awe, watching them work so hard to be such good parents.
I don't remember how I did it -- how I managed to raise three children born three years apart.
My grandmother, God rest her soul, gave birth a dozen times. I asked her once, half-jokingly, how she managed to remember all their names.
She laughed. "I didn't," she said. "I'd just yell some name out the back door and it was bound to be one of them." Then she shook her head. "You don't have to do everything right, honey. Just do what you have to do, the best you can."
Good advice, I think, for parents and grandparents alike.
There are many joys in being a grandparent --rocking, rolling, pushing, telling boring stories.
It's enough, almost, to make it worth getting old. But make no mistake. The best part of being a grandparent is seeing your child become a great parent.

APPARENTLY a law to shackle the press is illegal. After the Leveson Report, a small number of people (many of them celebrities) want censorship of the press introduced.
Leveson highlighted how very private emails, etc, concerning the lives of these celebrities were used by certain newspapers – a deplorable practice, indeed.
It is understandable, following such revelations, why these celebrities are backing press censorship.
However, this would definitely be a step too far. Could recent history be repeating itself? Press censorship and disapproval of political parties happened in the not too far distant past.
Where did newspaper gagging and, ultimately, control of the broadcasting happen? Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
Doubtless many will ridicule this comparison, but our media is the only way we can know what is happening in our country and around the world.
Media censorship is an extremely powerful weapon toward "bending" the will and, ultimately, the way the populace of a country will "think" of their politicians.
Press-censoring must never be part of our laws.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By CHRIS BENNETT
There is one step in the sale process that has a disproportionately large impact on whether your sales team makes a sale or not. Can you name it?
It's the discovery meeting or the first meeting with a new prospect.
Why is the discovery meeting so important? Because there's no other step in the sales process in which the salesperson can accomplish so much in so little time.
Accomplishing a lot in a short amount of time adds tremendous efficiency and effectiveness to your work and is the key to sales gains, productivity gains and lowering the cost of sales.
What can a salesperson accomplish in the discovery meeting if he is on his game?
A sales rep who is on his or her game can accomplish all of that in roughly 60 minutes, whether they are in B2B sales or B2C.
In order to crush one's numbers and improve the quality of the customer experience at the same time, a salesperson has to master the discovery meeting. What is the key? The answer lies within the word itself… discovery.
The key is developing the ability to ask specific types of questions, in a specific sequence and aimed at gathering very specific pieces of information.
There are at least five different types of questions required to master the discovery meeting. (And I'm not talking about open or closed-ended questions.)
If your salespeople can master this questioning skill and ace their discovery meetings, they will:
I had one customer group of sales engineers increase their sales funnels by 325% and their closing rates by 125% in less than six months by mastering the discovery meeting.
In my 24 years of sales experience, 18 as a trainer and coach to many of the Canadian Fortune 100, whenever I see a sales organization unhappy with its results it always tracks back to the way they mishandle the discovery meeting.
Here are some of the ways sales pros sabotage their own success in discovery:
See the trend?
Without a practical, structured questioning methodology (written questions on paper) to use as a framework for discovery meetings, most salespeople sabotage their own success by talking too much.
Solve the real problem
If you're not happy with your sales team's results, the odds are high that their questioning skills protocol for discovery meetings is off kilter. There is no wiser, more cost-effective, practical and impactful place to invest training time and money than in learning how to master the questioning skills for the discovery meeting.
Yes, product knowledge, prospecting and presenting are important. But the discovery meeting is more important. A salesperson can't even get to presenting and closing if he strikes out in the discovery meeting.
If you want to grow sales and customer satisfaction/loyalty scores dramatically higher this year – refocus and refine your team's discovery meeting questioning skills.

Did you know?
The Maluti Mountains and Lesotho are just over the border from Clarens.
The Clarens Oxwagon Camp is a living reminder of those feisty, Dutch-speaking Voortrekkers (literally 'one who goes before') who left the British-ruled Cape Colony in the 1830s and 40s to forge independence and a new life for themselves in the vast, largely unexplored interior of South Africa.
Oxwagons carried these pioneer families, their worldly possessions and their dreams of a place where they could live in freedom unfettered by British rule.
Tucked away in a tall poplar grove surrounded by golden sandstone mountains on St Fort farm just outside Clarens, off one of the most beautiful scenic roads in the Eastern Free State, is Clarens Oxwagon Camp.
St Fort farm is known for its views of the aptly named Mushroom Rock; the nearby San rock paintings and the excellent fly-fishing.
Inside the sturdy wooden walls encircling the open-air camp you'll find the wagons. Choose an eight-sleeper, a family wagon with a double bed and two singles or, if you're a couple, the Love Wagon.
The camp is self-catering so bring all your own food and drink. There's a kitchen with a kettle, a two-plate stove, a washing up area and an undercover braai area. Most importantly, however, there's a campfire where you can sit late into the night and swap tales with the other guests.
At the end of the evening as the stars blaze over the mountains, climb into your white canvas oxwagon with its cheerful red wheels, curl up in a comfortable bunk or bed, and dream of those long ago days.
The area around Clarens is one of the loveliest in the whole country – expect soaring red mountains, clear mountain streams, winding roads lined with poplars and panoramic views.

How to get here
Take the N3 west from Johannesburg. Then the R26 to Bethlehem and follow the signs for Clarens. The Oxwagon Camp is 5km from Clarens on the Fouriesburg Road.
Best time to visit
It can get very hot in summer and bitterly cold in winter, so spring and autumn are best.
Around the area
The Golden Gate Highlands National Park is a short drive away.
What will it cost
About R200 per person, per night.
Length of stay
One night is sufficient for the oxwagon experience. But if you are using the camp as a base for exploring the area, then two or three nights.
What to pack
The Clarens Oxwagon Camp is self-catering so bring all your food and drink (Clarens has a number of excellent supermarkets, butcheries, delis and liquor stores) as well as cooking utensils.
What's happening
Among the most popular events in the area are the Clarens Beer Festival in February, the Cherry Festival in November and the September Spring Fair.
Best buys
Clarens is a shopping mecca. Find African crafts and curios, art galleries, handcrafted leather, pottery, handmade quilts, jewellery, jams and preserves, freshly baked bread and pastries…and lots more.

I just had a really terrible, stupid idea. And then I followed through with it, so now it's more than just a terrible stupid idea, it's an actual terrible, stupid thing I did. If you've never had a blog you won't understand how sinister that picture is up there, but trust me when I tell [...]

I'm finishing up a documentation project which produced about three dozen HTML files. Now the client says he wants the content delivered in a single PDF.
I'd like to do this by creating a file that says in effect, "include this HTML file, then this one, then this one,..." A tool will read this file, assemble all of HTML files into one big HTML file, and resolve all of the cross-links (links from one HTML file to another) into internal links (links from one part of the combined HTML to another). Then I can convert the combined HTML file to a PDF.
My object is not so much to create the PDF file more efficiently, as to avoid having to update two parallel versions of the content once I've done so. If I had this tool I could regenerate the PDF in a couple of steps whenever an HTML file changes.
Does such a tool exist?
Have you considered using Windows CHM (Help File) format?The [free, I think] tool provided by Microsoft does what you are describing.
I appreciate your effort to be helpful, but this really doesn't address the question. My client asked me for a PDF. If I give him a CHM, he's just going to wonder why I don't follow instructions.
Php to PDF has a library and a comment may save you some time:
If you only have PDFLib Lite installed, I would not recommend bothering with this library, as you can really only output text and import an image, and that's about it. Forget about adding complexities such as color, blocks and other elements. Switch to an open source library such as FreePDF (http://www.fpdf.org).
If you only have PDFLib Lite installed, I would not recommend bothering with this library, as you can really only output text and import an image, and that's about it. Forget about adding complexities such as color, blocks and other elements. Switch to an open source library such as FreePDF (
there are a lot of websites that offer free conversion of html pages to pdf i.e htmlpdf.com
However, the nature of a 'web' site is the interconnected relationship among pages. This cannot be represented in a serial document such as a PDF.
Three out of four responders have misunderstood my question in different ways, soi I'm persuaded that I did a bad job of stating it, and I'd like to have another go.
On one hand, I have a web site with several dozen pages. On the other, I have people who are effectively my clients (now at least two of them out of four) who tell me that their clients find it difficult to utilize information from web sites, and insist on a page-oriented format, customarily a PDF.
To provide that I can convert each page to a PDF with Acrobat, or with a free PDF driver like CutePDF, and then combine the PDFs with Acrobat. But this approach has a serious disadvantage: the pages are heavily interlinked, and the links would continue to point to their original targets. From the reader's point of view, there would be all these links that obviously were supposed to point to other parts of the document, and they'd point to the same material on some web site instead. Dumb!
So, I want a tool that lets me combine the HTML documents -- resolving the links from inter-document targets to intra-document targets, among other things -- and then convert to PDF. If the tool is really nice it can automatically add front matter, page separators, and a table of contents (although I'll probably have to add the page numbers by hand after the conversion).
Returning briefly to the suggestions:
The people making the request are asking specifically for a PDF. Thus the whole point is to produce a page-oriented rendition of the web site. Some other page oriented format would probably be OK, although I'd have to clear it with them. Another interactive format, e.g., CHM, would be completely off point.
I don't get to tell them that they don't really want what they're asking for because a web site cannot be (faithfully) represented in a serial document. That's true, but irrelevant. This is one of those cases where the customer is always right; the customer's customer is right squared!
Maybe some overriding constraint compels my clients' clients to use a serial format, and it just hasn't been explained to me. Maybe they're asking for this because they put their heads on backwards when they get out of bed. It doesn't matter.
I'm looking for an HTML tool, not a software component that I could use to create my own tool. My "client" does not have time to wait while I engage in a bout of software development, nor does my boss pay me to do that. In any case the response didn't seem to imply that PDFLib can retarget links and do the other things required to solve this problem. I looked at its web site briefly, and got the impression that it \would just let me do those things myself by manipulating PDF rather than HTML. It's not clear what the percentage is in that... especially if it involves implementing the tool on a server, which would not be its natural environment.
By the way, the problem is now solved to the extent it can be, because today is my last day in this job. Everything I can do for my "clients" is done. I encountered a similar problem once before, though, so I foresee encountering one again in the future, and I'd like to be ready when I do. On top of that, the problem is technically interesting.
Please read the whole thread before replying. Online converters have already been suggested, and Orthoducks has explained why they are not an appropriate solution.
As Orthoducks has also said that the issue ceased to be his/her problem three months ago, there seems little point in reviving the discussion now.
Thread closed.

SUGAR LAND, Texas - An elderly, wheelchair-bound Sugar Land woman was the victim of a mid-afternoon home invasion.
Police said Leola Boswell, 86, who spends her days making quilts for Bosnian orphans, was robbed at gunpoint when three men burst through her front door on Wednesday.
"Nice looking men, I was expecting them to be from the neighborhood checking on houses," said Boswell.
Boswell said the men knocked on her front door on Ravenscourt Drive and, not sensing any danger, she unlatched the bolt. Boswell said she did not realize one of the men had already turned the door knob and was waiting for her to unlatch the bolt.
"That arm shot through there and he got me and was holding me, threatening me and said, 'I'll kill you, just be still,'" said Boswell. "He suspected I had some kind of alert on me and he said, 'You touch it, I'll kill you.'"
Boswell said while one man kept pushing through the house, his two partners communicated on hand-held radios as they went room-to-room searching for jewelry and cash.
"'Where's your jewelry, where's your jewelry case?' I said, 'This is it,'" said Boswell, showing nothing but a modest watch. "All this time I'm saying, 'I don't have it, I don't know. I don't have any money. I'm just a broken old widow woman and I'm not wealthy. I don't know why you're picking on me.'"
During the robbery, Boswell's daughter, who lives a few houses down, came over to check on her mother.
"When I walked up, they said, 'Your mother is OK. We're painters. You can go on in,'" said Doris Freeman. "This is a really safe neighborhood. Who would have thought they would have come here?"
Police described the three robbers as Hispanic males between 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 5 feet, 8 inches tall with heavy builds and short hair.
Freeman said the men were driving a white SUV, possibly a Jeep Cherokee with a possible partial license plate of D61.
If you have any information about this crime please call Sugar Land police or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS.

From Cupcakes to Elmo: A Birthday Salute to Katy Perry's Boobs (Probably NSFW)
In honor of Katy Perry's 28th birthday, here's a look back at her most spectacular and ridiculous boob moments. NSFW, obviously!
-Lucia Peters
Bettys, do you know what today is? That's right: It's Katy Perry's 28th birthday. Happy birthday, Katy! Not since Madonna has one singer's pair of boobs made such an impact on the world, so in honor of the occasion, we've rounded up 10 of Katy's most memorable boob moments. From the cupcakes that started it all to the peppermint-scented safety hazard, here's a look back at those spectacular and ridiculous memories. Katy? We salute you—and your assets
1. The Infamous Cupcakes
Sure, "I Kissed a Girl" got Katy on the map—but it was "California Gurls" off of Teenage Dream that rocketed her to stardom. The cupcake bra she wore in the video for the song would become the first in a long line of ridiculous boob moments for her.
Read How to Make Katy Perry's Cupcake Bra + Other DIY Celebrity Halloween Costumes
2. Whipped Cream Rockets
Okay, I lied—the cupcake bra wasn't the ONLY thing in the "California Gurls" video that got her noticed. That whole "shooting whipped cream out of her chest" helped a bit, too.
