The following is by contributor Amy Anderson of Let"s Explore.
Happy National Poetry Month! From rhyming lines to haiku to free verse, I love sharing poetry with my daughters. We think of poems as paintings made with words, and they are a wonderful way for kids to use their boundless imaginations.
While we love reading poetry, writing our own poems is one of our favorite ways to play and create with words. We try all different kinds of poetry forms, and for the most part, I take dictation at the computer while they compose their poetic masterpieces.
There is something satisfying about putting a few simple words together and creating an amazing poem. Have fun capturing a bit of your child"s creative thinking with two of our favorite poetry activities:
Random Word Poem
Photo by Amy Anderson
This is a free-form poem that encourages kids (and grown-ups, too) to play with words and be silly. My girls love doing this kind of poem on a regular basis, so we are always adding new and interesting word cards to our stash.
First, you will need to create your word cards. I cut index cards into small pieces and play the job of secretary. Everyone shares interesting, funny, unusual, or favorite words to write on the cards. We try to get a good mix of things, colors, sounds, places, names, and animals. You"ll want at least 20 words per poet.
Once you have a stack of words, toss them all into a hat or bag. Decide how many words you will use for your poem – we used 15 words. Pass the hat around, choosing one word at a time until you have enough.
Now it"s playtime! Move your words around into phrases and lines. We kept our lines short, with one to four words each. My girls love creating the craziest phrases possible, like spaghetti tulips or gardening pig reading rain.

When you are happy with your poems, take turns reading them aloud. Sometimes we add exclamation points or question marks for fun, too. If you want to save your poem, glue your words down to paper and illustrate. Words are fun!
When It Rains: A Weather Poem
Photo by Amy Anderson
Weather is a wonderful sensory experience that most kids have a lot to say about. This poetry activity uses a simple structure, where each line begins the same. It happened to be pouring down rain when we wrote ours, so our lines begin When it rains… You could easily write a poem with the starter When the sun shines… or When the wind blows…
To get the thoughts flowing, you can ask your child questions, such as:
- What do you see/hear/feel/taste/smell when it rains?
- What does the rain remind you of?
- How do you feel when it rains?
- What do you like to do when it rains?
Write as few or as many lines as you like – no rules!
We chose to publish our poems by typing and printing them out. The girls then decorated a piece of tracing paper with a rainy scene to create an overlay for their poems. So pretty!

Norris v. Premier Integrity Solutions, Inc., No. 09-6252 (6th Cir. 2011)Annotate this Case
In order to participate in a pre-trial release program, the defendant agreed to random drug testing. He submitted to five tests that involved urination in full view of an employee of the private company that conducts tests for the Kentucky courts. The district court dismissed a suit under 42 U.S.C. 1983. The Sixth Circuit affirmed, first acknowledging that the company acted under color of state law. The direct observation method of urine collection was not unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment. The manner of collection is a matter of judicial administration, not law enforcement; the court's interest in ensuring accurate testing outweighs the defendant's diminished expectation of privacy. Cheating is pervasive and there is no requirement of suspicion that an individual defendant will cheat. Rejecting tort claims of false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intrusion into solitude, the court stated that the conduct did not go beyond the bounds of decency and that the defendant had no right to privacy under the circumstances.

US firm McKenna Long & Aldridge (MLA) has opened a base in South Korea, its first Asia office.
MLA has received regulatory approval from Korea's Ministry of Justice to open a foreign legal consultant office in Seoul. It is the latest foreign firm to have obtained a licence, joining over a dozen US rivals such as K&L Gates and O'Melveny & Myers (15 November 2012) in South Korea's capital city.
MLA's new office will be led by partner Andrew Park, who is based in Seoul. Park's practice focuses on cross-border transactions and intellectual property matters. Prior to joining the firm in 2001, he practised for seven years at Kim & Chang, one of Korea's largest law firms.
"The opening of an office in Korea is a natural evolution for the firm to expand our capabilities in order to meet clients' needs," said MLA chairman Jeff Haidet in a statement. "We understand the Korean market and have more than 50 years of experience in government contracts and regulatory matters that are part of many complex international commercial transactions. We're looking forward to leveraging new opportunities for our clients throughout the United States and Korea."
MLA has over 575 attorneys and public policy advisors in 16 offices.
Under the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement, US firms will be permitted to form alliances with Korean firms or enter into cooperative agreements to provide advice on Korean law in 2014. By 2017, they will be able to hire native Korean attorneys.

What does Ridley Scott and a serial killer that likes to create silly traps to kill people have in common? Answer: They each got new posters for their respective movies today. New posters for Scott's spy thriller "Body of Lies" and the latest incarnation of the never-say-die "Saw" franchise (number 5, to be exact) have popped up online. The "Saw 5" tagline is, "You won't believe how it ends", while the "Body of Lies" one settled for, "Trust No One. Deceive Everyone." But whereas the "Lies" one sells itself with its two primary stars (Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio), all "Saw 5's" got is a dude whose head is stuck in a lousy see-through box that will probably chop his head off if he fails to solve a riddle or something.
Anyways. The posters.

1Rejoice in the Lord, good people! It is good for good people to praise him! 2Play the lyre and praise the Lord! Play to the Lord on the ten-stringed harp. 3Sing a new song to him. Play the happy tune beautifully! 4God's word is true. You can depend on everything he does. 5God loves to be fair and do good things. The Lord's true love fills the earth! 6The Lord spoke the command, and the world was made. The breath from God's mouth created everything on earth. 7God gathered the water from the sea into one place. He keeps the ocean in its place. 8Every person on earth should fear and respect the Lord. All the people in the world should fear him. 9Why? Because God just gives a command, and that thing happens. And if he says, "Stop!" then that thing will stop. 10The Lord can make everyone's advice useless. He can ruin all their plans. 11But the Lord's advice is good forever. His plans are good for generation after generation. 12People who have the Lord as their God are very fortunate. Why? Because God chose them to be his own special people. 13The Lord looked down from heaven, and he saw all the people. 14From his high throne he looked down at all the people living on earth. 15God created every person's mind. God knows what every person is thinking. 16A king is not saved by his own great power. A strong soldier is not saved by his own great strength. 17Horses don't really bring victory in war. Their strength can't really help you escape. 18The Lord watches and cares for his followers that wait for him to show his true love. 19God saves those people from death. He gives them strength when they are hungry. 20So we will wait for the Lord. He helps us and he protects us. 21God makes us happy. We truly trust his holy name. 22Lord, we truly worship you! So show your great love for us.

Dalsgaard: Fused glass is a process in which glass melts onto glass in a high-temperature kiln. It is typically fused flat initially and later molded or slumped to create form or movement. It's quite different from blown glass, which involves blowing, spinning and a very free use of color.
To make our fused glass lighting pieces, colored glass is supplied to us. We then design and cut the colored glass into the shapes we want to incorporate into lighting. By overlaying and overlapping each piece, we can create new colors and hues through the fusing process. With the manipulation of colors, shapes, forms and textures, we are able to create colored glass gem patterns and motifs that beautifully complement our client's environment.
All glass must be compatible to fuse successfully. The coefficient of expansion (COE) has to be the same for each piece of glass used. We are fortunate that nowadays there are companies that sell their glass in a variety of colors with pre-tested, matching coefficients.
With fused glass, I can create a variety of different effects in a lighting piece—organic, geometric, conservative or playful, for example. There are so many options and so many ways to go. Each creation reflects a definite mood and presence. Blues and greens lend a softer, more soothing feel, whereas earth tones are more grounding. It is all relative to what clients want for their environment.
One thing La Stella is known for is the texture in our glass. Our under-standing of intricate firing schedules allows us to create the different textures we are looking for. We fuse our glass so you are actually able to feel the pattern and dimension. When looking up at a custom-designed La Stella light, one can see the dimension in each piece of glass, not to mention the added composition of the chandelier, which lends itself to a most dramatic expression of illuminating art.
To me, colored glass is most beautiful when light is shining through it and each color is accented. We are creating art with our sculptural lighting. It is what some call "poetry in glass." When someone is looking for a showpiece, La Stella's fused glass definitely makes a statement.
Tranquil Waters
|After years of testing glass fusion, Dalsgaard has developed an expertise in
the intricacies of firing schedules, a skill critical to the desired outcome of a
La Stella creation.

Frost & Sullivan: Impact of Big Data on the Automotive Industry - Explicit Savings of About $800 per Vehicle per Year
Web conference on Big Data in Automotive helps address rising warranty costs and enables data sharing networks in the industry
Dec 02, 2013, 07:00 ET from Frost & Sullivan
LONDON, Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Big data is not a new phenomenon in the automotive industry. The increasing presence of connectivity, with short-to mid-terms promising high-speed/high-bandwidth connectivity like LTE (long term evolution) in the car, is one of the key reasons for pursing big data in the industry. The shift is taking place due to the need to cut down on spiralling warranty costs and to create a data sharing network between the dealer, customer, OEM and others.
Frost & Sullivan is organising a web conference, entitled Impact of Big Data on the Automotive Industry, which is taking place on Tuesday, 10 December 2013, at 3.00 p.m. GMT. Frost & Sullivan Program Manager, Niranjan Manohar, and Global Practice Director Automotive & Transportation, Sarwant Singh, will discuss emerging trends and opportunities for the Big Data Automotive Industry.
To participate in this complimentary web conference, please email Katja Feick at firstname.lastname@example.com with your full contact details. Upon receipt of the above information, a registration link will be e-mailed to you. You may also register to receive a recorded version of the briefing at anytime by submitting the aforementioned contact details.
Participants of this web conference will learn about key big data features and services, understand societal, technological and other related challenges, as well as identify ways to evolve under the existing value chain.
"There is an increasing need to cut down spiralling warranty costs, especially the ones caused due to software failure, which was the reason for 60 percent of the recalls," says Mr. Manohar. "Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need data related to the vehicle's age, performance, and failure scenarios to reduce warranty spend."
Frost & Sullivan expects 60 percent of the North American OEMs to come up with their big data strategy and offerings in the next two years enabled by the move to high bandwidth embedded connectivity technologies like LTE. OEMs develop different approaches to reach their targets; the killer OEMs will be those that can use predictive data analytics to impact a 1-3 percent reduction in warranty costs along with other important software and firmware over-the-air-updates.

Mad Max Review
Avalanche Studios set out to create a dark and unerring atmosphere within Mad Max, one that is one born out of desperation and sorrow. The social aspect of the surrounding land has corroded into emptiness, a land where to survive one must either live and hide in the shadows or learn to fight. When mankind reaches a point of no turning back, when there is simply nothing left that keeps us human, humanity tends to turn on itself all too quickly, resulting in a catastrophic downward spiral.
There is no law to control the now overwhelming groups of War Boys, their factions run riot all over the barren plains, terrorising, killing and pillaging anything of value, with no remorse for mankind. The story detaches itself from the film, Fury Road, setting out to tell an altogether different story, one of the most unlikeliest of partnerships and a personal quest for solace.
Mad Max: Xbox One [Reviewed], Playstation 4, P.C
Developer: Avalanche Studios
Publisher: Warner Bros
Release Date: 1 September 2015
Price: £49.99 [Disclosure: Game copy supplied by Publisher]
Mad Max tells the tale of one man's crusade against humanity's sheer desire to tear itself down from within. What once was a glorious, flourishing planet, brimming with vitality has now become a playground for the unimaginably insane, the devious and the wicked. A place where a mixture of forged metal meets the beautifully scenic desert backdrop. Traversing the wasteland in his iconic Interceptor we find Max, a man who has lost everything important to him, his family, his life, his very sanity. He drives through the barren, apocalyptic land in search of valuable fuel resources. He seeks to find peace, this particular peace lies beyond this long forgotten wasteland in a place called Silent Plains.
As Max travels the vast dry and desolate wasteland he is attacked by a group of vicious looking War Boys, acting on the behalf of the rather unfortunately named Scabrous Scrotus, son of the infamous Immortan Joe of Fury Road who also happens to be the lord of Gastown, this could indicate that the title may in fact be a prequel of sorts to the film. After expertly fending off the first attack, Max is eventually worn down and stripped of all his valuable possessions including weapons, clothes and his iconic vehicle before coming face to face with Scrotus himself.
Left for dead in the dry and humid heat of the barren Australian wasteland, Max stumbles across a lonely hunchback by the name of Chumbucket, a man and wizardry mechanic, who believes Max to be a prophet sent to him by the Angel of Combustion, Chumbucket believes Max can help him to build the ultimate vehicle 'The Magnus Opus' in order to better take on the harsh, daunting environment, together the unlikely pair set out to gather the required materials.
While Mad Max does have a story behind it, it lacks any real depth. Given his current predicament, Max should appear desperate, yet this does not come through during the game. The story is fortunately saved by the various activities to perform throughout the world. Scattered across the vast derelict wasteland lie strongholds which are vital to Max's plight, these bases can be used to gain allies and receive new missions while ensuring important maintenance to the Magnus Opus can be undertaken. Through scavenging, strongholds can be reinforced and can be a key source of ammunition.
The leaders of each faction all share the same disdain for Scrotus and his treacherous grip on the dying land, this is felt with every conversation held and every mission received. Though most of the missions within the game have a recurring theme, they all exist to serve a purpose, making the Magnus Opus the legendary vehicle Chumbucket eagerly believes it can be. In order to gain a vital vehicle part, the faction leaders want something in return, in Mad Max, nothing comes for free.
With the use of positioned balloons, Max can ascend above the beautiful open world in order to gauge a layout of the land, scouting areas of importance within the nearby proximity. Equipped with binoculars, the map can be filled up with locations to enemy base camps, vital looting areas, sniper locations and sources of water. While enemy camps can appear dangerous, with prior planning, most of the main threats to Max's survival can removed from outside with the use of the harpoon gun, sniper rifle and explosive bolts. Removing threats around the strongholds is an essential part to pushing forward in the game and that brings me to the games combat mechanics.
The close quarters hand to hand combat within Mad Max feels very simplistic in nature, not overly complex but visually very appealing. When surrounded by large groups of enemies, Max can quickly dispatch of them with the ease of quick punch and counter attack combinations, although not hard to understand, these short interactions leave the game with some brutal cinematic type fight scenes, a select number of enemies pose more of a threat, armed with sadistic weapons and tough shields, War Boys can deal heavy damage if not avoided but can equally be taken down with ease if timed correctly. Max has an advantage over any would be attacker and that is 'fury' which is unleashed instantly while fighting and can easily dispatch of groups in mere seconds.
With upgrades purchased through the sale of precious steel, scavenged from the wasteland, Max is able to strengthen the way he fights as well as acquire some truly powerful execution moves, which, when used during combat can cause some utterly devastating damage to foes, along with some excruciatingly bone crunching moments which are thoroughly enjoyable. Overall I can't help but feel slightly let down by the games combat system, despite the sheer weight of brutality and panache at times, it is merely a concoction of dash mixed with simple button co-ordination, I was expecting to have to truly fight for my life and for a small portion of the game I did, however more often then not I found the combat to be a little too predictable.
Of course this wouldn't be Mad Max without vehicular combat, which is an overriding key element of the game. As Max spends a lengthy amount of time within the confides of the Magnus Opus, he and his newly found friend draw constant attention from the ever present, prowling War Boys, who want nothing more then to see the iconic road machine out of action and Max deep in the ground. Metal clashes with metal, with crunching velocity, these moments help to provide some of the more entertaining action the game has to offer, with a plethora of reinforcements at hand, the Opus can be as deadly as anything the barren land holds.
Harpoons, upon purchase can be used to dismantle a hostile vehicle limb by limb, wrenching doors and bumpers away with powerful ease. With one precise shot from the gun, drivers can be pulled from their vehicle and flung through the air with force, leaving their car a sitting target for resource. Every aspect of the car can be modified to suit players needs. The outer shell can be reinforced with spikes to damage any would be assailant and nitrous upgraded to avoid any unwanted pursuer.
Combat on the road may at times feel a bit overused and repetitive but it has an undeniable quality to it that helps to keep the game exciting and the adrenaline levels at their highest. Engaged in a four vehicle fight with a convoy transporting precious resources can be either out of the desire to destroy or through sheer necessity. Vehicles in the game handle well for the most part with only a small tendency to waver, leaving the car spinning wildly out of control. Overall, the mechanics are easy to master while leaving some great effects, such as spinning the wheels through dust, which is a joy to watch.
While there may be some fault with the story, visually Mad Max is flawless by design, in glorious 1080p the game is a true spectacle of its generation. Beautifully immersed in atmosphere, the wasteland is very befitting of the legendary name. There is a true sense of the apocalyptic with every piece of ground covered throughout the hazardous terrain with great detail going into preserving the iconic films of days past. There is nothing more eye catching then the suns rays striking down onto the dry salty plains while out in the Magnus Opus, the game has an undeniable beauty to it.
Weather conditions can change within the blink of an eye and with short prior warning, the sunshine is quickly and dramatically replaced with dangerous sandstorms that form abruptly, lowering visibility and causing utter destruction as the force of the wind reaps havoc throughout the wasteland, picking up scrap steel and tossing it around like a rag-doll. The environment is diverse and changes as Max drives throughout the huge open world. Orange Sand and dry salty ground play home to the games characters. Makeshift homes and bases are constructed using any material or object at hand including buses and ships.
Mad Max is an explosive, action packed story of one man's journey for peace across the harsh environment of the wasteland. Although the story sadly drifts too often without any real depth it is overshadowed by some truly stunning visuals, breathtaking moments of combat set inside a brutal and bloody wide open world, ready to be explored at will. The differing styles of combat within the game make for some exhilarating moments and there is no lack of upgrades available to tailor Max's adventure. Chumbucket and Max may at first glance seem to be the most unlikeliest of friends but as the story progresses, the two share a bond, their relationship shines through and both are incredibly likeable characters.
Timing may have not have been a friend to Mad Max but this is one title that should not be overlooked lightly. The game is a shining beacon for the next generation, a true love letter to the cult films. Combining glorious, polished visuals with all out bloodied action, Avalanche Studios set out to bring the icon to life and have succeeded in developing a dark and unforgiving land with some insane characters and surroundings, a real gem.

" Brand: Sleek / Type: Eyeliners / Suitable for: Eye "
I had never heard of the Sleek make up range, until I was browsing the make up in Superdrug a few weeks ago. I think it was the unsual design of the products that caught my attention, in particular the Kajal eyeliner.
To look at it, you'd be forgiven to mistake it for a lipstick. The chunky retractable tube with lid is not what I'm used to with an eyeliner. There is also a piece of ribbon from the base which I guess it's used to get a grip on whilst taking the top off, but is also very decorative.
The eyeliner itself is in a chunky cone shape, reminding me very much of a crayola crayon tip! I love making smoky, slighty messy effect eyes and thought this would be perfect.
Using the product is easy, it's so soft it glides on the skin without much pressure, yes you get a very smudgy black line, this is not a product for precision but I love the effect it gave. Usually I use a liner pencil and black eyeshadow, sometimes a liquid liner too to create my smoky eye effect. Well with this I got pretty much the same effect in seconds with this. Used to line under the eye and smudged in just with my finger on the lid, I got an instant dramatic effect. For something different I've used a bright colour shadow underneath and smuged a little of this in the corners which is also quick and effective.
The only issue I had was because it was so soft it didn't last the whole day and tended to smudge off, however the design is so compact and would not break in your handbag, I just carry it round and reapply, as it's so quick it's not a lot of effort. After all the little thing saved me time in the morning!
The cost of this eyeliner is a very reasonable £3.99. I've been using it most days for a few weeks now and it doesn't seem to have gone down too much either. A little goes a long way. The liner comes in two colours, purple and black, I went for classic black. However, the box the it came in said purple and inside it was black, I think Superdrug's stock must have been a little muddled up.
Overall, I product I recommend and new favourite in my make up bag!

Jermaine Dye homered and drove in four runs and Joe Crede tied a career high with four hits to lead the White Sox to an 12-9 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays last night at Chicago.
Crede also drove in two runs to help the White Sox move a half-game ahead of the Minnesota Twins in the AL wild-card race.
Delmon Young went 2 for 3 in his major league debut for Tampa Bay, two months after serving a 50-game suspension in the minors for throwing his bat at an umpire. He got hit on his right shoulder during his first at-bat and hit a two-run homer during his third plate appearance.
Marlins 9, Cardinals 1 -- Dan Uggla homered and drove in four runs and Hanley Ramirez was a home run shy of the cycle for visiting Florida, which won its ninth straight.
Mark Mulder (6-7) lasted only 1 2/3 innings for St. Louis, giving up five runs on six hits in his second start since returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for more than two months.
Scott Olsen allowed three hits in eight innings for Florida, which matched its longest winning streak of the year while staying close in the NL wild-card standings.
Braves 13, Giants 8 -- Barry Bonds hit two homers in a game for the first time since 2004, but it wasn't enough to keep Atlanta from its longest home winning streak in more than three months.
The Braves, trying to make a run at the NL wild card with virtually no hope of extending their streak of 14 straight division titles, have won three straight at Turner Field -- their longest home streak since a season-best four in a row from May 15-18.
Phillies 10, Nationals 6 -- Ryan Howard tied the team record for homers in a season with his major league-leading 48th home run, helping the Phillies win at Washington.
Howard's three-run shot in the sixth inning off reliever Kevin Gryboski equaled the franchise mark set by Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt in 1980, when the Phillies won their only World Series championship.
Astros 10, Brewers 3 -- Pinch hitter Jason Lane hit a grand slam during a seven-run eighth inning, and host Houston matched a season high with its fourth straight victory.
Houston's Willy Taveras went 0 for 3, ending his hitting streak at 30 games -- the second-longest in the majors this season behind Chase Utley's 35. Taveras's streak is the longest in Astros history, surpassing Jeff Kent's 25-game streak in 2004.
Rangers 9, Orioles 4 -- Kevin Millwood allowed six hits in his second complete game of the season and Mark Teixeira hit a tiebreaking homer, leading host Texas over Baltimore.
Indians 5, Blue Jays 2 -- C.C. Sabathia pitched his major league-leading fifth complete game and Travis Hafner hit his 40th homer as Cleveland beat visiting Toronto.
Mariners 6, Angels 4 -- Chris Snelling hit two of four solo homers off Jered Weaver, and the Mariners beat the Angels at Seattle for their season-high sixth straight win.
Royals 2, Twins 0 -- At Minneapolis, Mark Redman threw a five-hitter to win for the first time in seven starts and John Buck hit an RBI double to lead Kansas City.
Padres 8, Diamondbacks 3 -- Mike Piazza and Geoff Blum homered in support of Chris Young, who gave up three hits over seven innings in visiting San Diego's victory.
Pirates 7, Cubs 6 -- Jose Bautista's bases-loaded walk scored Jose Castillo to cap a two-run, 11th-inning rally as host Pittsburgh handed Chicago its fifth consecutive loss.
Mets 10, Rockies 5 -- Carlos Beltran set a career high with his 39th homer, Jose Reyes also connected, and David Wright drove in three runs, sending the surging Mets to victory at Denver.
Last night's game between the Tigers and Yankees was postponed by rain and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader today at Yankee Stadium.

Schumi finishes sixth in Japan GP
What a surprise comeback from Michael Schumacher! For one of the rare times, the seven-time world champion has managed to beat his wingman to the finish. He gained major points after his good start from the tenth position on the grid. A good, strong race plus an exhilarating battle with Nico Rosberg and Schumi produces better results since his much-hyped up comeback.
What could have been a double-points finish for Mercedes GP was foiled because of an unfortunate accident forcing Nico to quit and not finish the race during the 48th lap. Nico was in sixth place at that point, a position Schumi happily took over from his retired wingman.
Nico was clearly disappointed after the race, citing clutch problems with regards to his poor start from the grid. Although his tires were enough to keep Schumi on his rear, something else broke and then everything else was history. Schumi on the other hand was happy that his car finally felt good. He is pleased with the crowd's response to his performance and is now looking forward to his continued luck in South Korea.
Team boss Ross Brawn, meanwhile, was frustrated at Nico's car failure, although he's happy that his driver safely walked away from the accident. Technical director Norbert Haug is also glad that Schumi was able to stay behind the top five drivers of the season on the track. Haug also believes that Nico isn't to be blamed for his car's failure during the race.

Parent-Reported Sleep Problems During Development and Self-reported Anxiety/Depression, Attention Problems, and Aggressive Behavior Later in Life
Alice M. Gregory, Jan Van der Ende, Thomas A. Willis, and Frank C. Verhulst
Source: Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
Sleep problems are risk indicators of later emotional difficulties in childhood and adolescence and in adulthood, as well as across these developmental periods. Although most research, to date, has focused on symptoms of insomnia in association with emotional difficulties, there is emerging evidence that other sleep and sleep-related problems (referred to herein as sleep problems) may also be linked to subsequent difficulties that are not only emotional but also behavioral. Indeed, results of one study demonstrated that a composite of different sleep problems predicted symptoms of anxiety and depression, attention problems, and aggression later in life. For knowledge concerning links between sleep problems and later emotional and behavioral difficulties to be maximally beneficial to the physician, clarification of which particular sleep problems are associated with later difficulties is paramount. Toward this aim, this article documents associations between parental perceptions of 6 aspects of sleep (examined during development) and subsequent self-reported emotional and behavioral difficulties in a representative sample of 2076 participants from Zuid-Holland. This study is novel in allowing comparison of different types of sleep problems as predictors of different types of later behavioral and emotional problems. Based on previous research, associations between different aspects of sleep and different types of emotional and behavioral problems were expected, but hypotheses concerning specific patterns of association were considered premature.

The Walking Dead is back tonight. It's a great show. I can pretend to make a point here about the marketing lessons you can learn from The Walking Dead, but I seriously hate blog posts like that. They're kind of annoying*. Like the one that ran on LinkedIN Today about the marketing lessons you can learn from Walter White on Breaking Bad. Did you see that bullshit? Whoever writes a post like that has no soul and is just looking to suck any last remaining joy they can out of society. (I'm mostly kidding. But still. C'MON!)
So we're not going to run stuff like that here at SocialTimes. We are just going to share with you awesome things. No strings attached. And hey, we're even going to do you a favor. The video above from Screen Junkies will catch you up completely on the series. So if you want to see what everyone is talking about, but you're totally freaked out by zombies and refuse to watch the actual show? This video has you covered.
Enjoy the video, and we'll see you back here on Monday.
*I would totally read a column about how awful a CEO The Governor would be. I may just write a column like that for laughs.

Togher in Clonmore, Louth, is in the Poor Law Union of Drogheda and Drogheda is - in family oral tradition - the place of origin for the family.
Andrew Conlan's parents were Patrick Conlan and Mary Kiernan. As they had Andrew in 1841, they must have been contemporaries of your Conlans, if not immediate relatives.

The Veteran's Day weekend trip to Rosarito Beach with Phil Friedman Outdoors meant many different things to many different people. That is part of the beauty of going to Baja as many of the 40 travelers found out. There is no shortage of great opportunities in Baja that sometimes choosing the experience one wants is difficult.
Iris Arguelles from Hawthorne, now a student at San Jose State University used the weekend to participate with the youth of Rosarito Beach. On Sunday morning, she and her boyfriend Patrick Friedman helped to treat over 20 children from the Boys and Girls Club of Rosarito Beach to a mornings sports clinic on the Rosarito Beach Pier as well as a fishing seminar. "I just love working with the kids down here," said Arguelles.
The kids learned how to bait a hook, catch a release a fish, how to cast and how to tie knots. Director of the Boys and Girls Club Rosy Torres has also fallen in love with fishing and when she is feeling like she need a break, she can be seen driving to San Felipe or some other Baja destination for some quality fishing time. "I think it is so important for all children to get outdoors and enjoy such things as fishing," said Torres. "It teaches them to take care of the sea, stimulates learning and makes them good citizens."
Jessica Garvisch from Torrance was also along for the ride. She loved the horseback riding along the beach at sunset, munching on $1 fresh fish tacos, visiting the local all-girls orphanage Casa Estrella and just walking along the beach. But it was one unplanned event that took place on the beach in front of the Rosarito Beach Hotel that left a lasting impression on the young lady.
The PFO group had wandered down to the beach to watch some fireworks when a soaking wet man approached pushing a wheelbarrow full of firewood through the sand. He stopped in front of the group and asked if we wanted a bonfire. He then produced a bag a about 20 big Pismo clams that he had just plucked from the sand and asked if he could also put on a clam bake for us. Cost, $10. Of course we all said yes.
David built a fire that warmed us all, sent a friend to town to bring back hot sauce and limes and started cooking the clams until the shells burst open. Garvisch, who is not a fan of seafood wanted to taste one just the same. She squeezed fresh lime on the bivalve, splashed some hot sauce on and loved it. "This is something I will never ever forget." (Video at http://youtu.be/wPfdOfEh0Rk)
Rosarito Beach is also the gateway to the wine country so several guest took a tour from the lobby of the hotel with Baja Fun Tours where they tasted a variety of different wines as well as learned about the process that takes Baja grapes to some of the finest wines produced anywhere.
Terry and Patty Flynn also took the weekend as an opportunity to fish out of Ensenada; about a 45 minute drive south. The husband and wife found the Cazador out of Sergio's Sportfishing to be clean with a great crew who waited on them had and foot. They loaded up on over 30 delicious rockfish that the two donated to the Casa Estrella Orphanage.
"Now I know what they mean when they say Baja has something for everyone," said Arguelles.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. stock indexes plunged Thursday in a sell-off sparked by factors including lower-than expected manufacturing data from China.
Manufacturing activity in China shrank in January, with the purchasing managers index for the sector sliding to 49.6 from 50.5 in December. Numbers under 50 indicate a contraction.
"We had some really weak data out of China, and that's scaring people," Ian Winer, director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities told the Wall Street Journal.
"If you get weakness [in China], it's something bulls have to question," Winer said.
The Dow Jones industrial average gave up 175.99 points or 1.07 percent to 16,197.35. The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 16.40 points, 0.89 percent, to reach 1,828.46. The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index dropped 24.13 points, 0.57 percent, to 4,218.87.
On the New York Stock Exchange, 1,0415 stocks advanced and 2,111 declined on a volume of 3.9 billion shares traded.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index lost 125.07 points, 0.79 percent, to 15,695.89.
In Europe, London's FTSE 100 lost 53.05 points, 0.78 percent, to 6,773.28.
The 10-year U.S. treasury was yielding 2.785 percent on a gain of 23/32.
The euro traded lower at $1.3695 and the dollar was lower against the yen at 103.25 yen.
Gold added $25.20 to close at $1,263.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Silver gained 17.1 cents to settle at $20.01 an ounce.
Crude oil picked up 65 cents to close at $97.38 per barrel on the NYMEX.
On the Chicago Board of Trade, March corn was up 2.75 cents to $4.29 per bushel. Soybeans was off 4.25 at $12.7525 and winter wheat added 8.75 cent to $5.70.

Washington stays unbeaten in duals
The undefeated Washington wrestling team spoiled Parents' Night for Mt. Pleasant on Thursday, cruising to a 52-15 win over the Panthers in Mt. Pleasant.
"I thought our freshman Karlton Skubal got us off to a good start," Washington Coach Brent Van Weelden said. "We started (with two) freshmen at 170 and 182, and its a little nerve-wracking when you've got to put freshmen on the mat first, but they did a good job getting things rolling."
The first two Demons scored 10 points for Washington — Skubal pinned Mt. Pleasant's Jarrett Wilson in 1:33, and at 182 pounds, Seth Townsend won by major decision over Dalton Shull, 12-0.
Washington took a 16-0 lead when Brad Skubal claimed a first-period pin over Kallin Crile, winning in 1:02 in the 195-pound match.
The next four matches were won by forfeit: Mt. Pleasant's Justin Dilks accepted a forfeit at 220 pounds, and the Class 3A No. 5 wrestler's perfect record went unchallenged. The Panther's Jackson Kelley then claimed six points by forfeit at 285 pounds.
Mt. Pleasant had to forfeit at 106 and 113 pounds — Alex Latcham and Kyle Anderson claimed the 12 points for Washington.
The 120-pound match featured Washington's undefeated state champion, Fletcher Green, against Mt. Pleasant's Colton Mertens.
"Fletcher's wrestled a lot of tough kids, and the Mertens kid is tough," Van Weelden said. "He's short and strong — we were not taking him lightly," Van Weelden said.
Green led the match 2-0 after a takedown in the first period, and stretched it to a five-point lead on two takedowns and an escape in the second period. Mertens scored on two escapes.
Mt. Pleasant's 120-pounder didn't allow Green to gain any more ground, but he also couldn't close the gap, falling by a score of 9-4.
With Washington leading 31-12, Mt. Pleasant scored its final three points of the night on a win by 126-pound Conner Eads.
Eads defeated Michael Ellingson by a 6-3 decision.
Ellingson scored the first two points of the match on a takedown in the first 30 seconds, but Eads got the reversal a minute later to tie the score at 2-2 at the end of the first period.
Ellingson went up again with an escape in the second period, but Eads took the lead for good on a takedown. The Panther added two more points on a reversal in the third period for the final score.
"Eads had the only win we wrestled, and it was a good match for him," Blint said. "He wrestled tough to get the win."
There were two more hard-fought matches at 132 and 138 pounds, but both went Washington's way.
In the 132-pound match, Washington's Tristan Pohren faced off against Mt. Pleasant's Tyler Lanphier.
The first period was scoreless, along with most of the second period until Pohren was able to get two near-fall points in the final seconds.
The Demon wrestler scored twice more on an escape and then a takedown for the final score of 5-0.
At 138 pounds, Jarek Brown claimed a narrow win over Alex Lanphier.
The first period again passed without either wrestler getting on the board. It was Brown who scored in the second period on a reversal.
Lanphier scored one point in the third period but it wasn't enough for a comeback and Washington claimed a 2-1 decision.
Washington went on to claim a win in the last three matches of the night.
At 145 pounds, Alex Gonzalez pinned Blake Wickham in 2:27.
Tanner Knupp won by decision, 3-1, against Josh Larson in the 152-pound match. The Demons finished the meet with Austin Latcham's 48-second pin against Levi Parkevich at 160 pounds.
"We wrestled solid, top to bottom," Van Weelden said. Washington remains undefeated at 18-0.
Washington will try to stay perfect next on Saturday, Jan. 18 at Solon.

Well, at least Greg Marshall can say he saw two good halves of football over the weekend. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats rookie head coach watched his team put together a strong first half against the Saskatchewan Roughriders yesterday and then fail to protect the lead in the second.
A day earlier, he was on hand to watch his old Western Mustangs do the same thing in reverse against the Laurier Golden Hawks.
After Saskatchewan won yesterday's matinee 32-30 on a field goal with one second remaining, Marshall wasn't breathing fire the way he might have as an assistant at Western, or as head coach of McMaster Marauders.
When an ill-advised first quarter fake punt came up, his eyes blazed briefly. That was when punter Jason Currie, from his own 27-yard line, opted to attempt a pass to Wayne Shaw. It fell short.
"It wasn't a call from the side; it's an automatic (if the situation calls for it)" Marshall said. "Well, it faked me out, too. I'll tell you one thing, it won't happen again."
The game didn't hinge on the play, although the Riders did get a field goal out of it.
But it was symbolic of how things didn't work out for the Tiger-Cats in what turned out to be an exciting contest played before 27,893 Ivor Wynne Stadium fans.
A victory would have given Hamilton a .500 record. Instead, the Ticats fell to 5-7-1 with a declining window for a playoff berth. Last season, Hamilton won just one of 18 games, an overtime effort against Saskatchewan.
"This was the perfect weekend to keep pace with Toronto," Ticat guard and former Mustang Tim Bakker said. "Especially with all the excitement generated by another large crowd. We just made some silly mistakes."
Not the least of them were a run of penalties that came at the most untimely junctures. All told, the Ticats committed 15 fouls for 113 yards in losses, including one that resulted in a touchdown being called back.
The galling thing for Marshall and Hamilton fans was their team permitting Saskatchewan back into the game after assembling a 17-13 halftime lead and reasonable control of proceedings. That evaporated via a 13-point third quarter for the 'Riders, then again after Hamilton pulled ahead with 2:21 remaining to play.
"You have to put a stake in 'em when you get in that situation," Marshall said. "The O came back and put the points up and we didn't protect it."
Hamilton receiver D.J. Flick had the catch of the day to give Hamilton the late lead when he battled his cover for the ball on the goal line, bobbled it as the two fought for it, then managed to grab it while tumbling on his back.
The game wasn't televised but the Tiger-Cats tried a CFL first by making it available via webcast (ticats.ca). Team officials said there were about 4,500 hits, many from Saskatchewan but also from as far afield as England, parts of Asia and the U.S.
They saw Danny McManus complete 24 of 38 passes for 377 yards and three TDs but concede three interceptions as Hamilton mounted 407 yards of offence to Saskatchewan's 439. The 'Riders' Henry Burris connected on 17 of 29 for 270 yards and a touchdown.
A blatant offensive interference call by a Saskatchewan receiver during their last march went uncalled. Those expecting Marshall to rage about it were mistaken. He's truly become a pro coach.
"The refs are doing the best job they can. You can't use that as an excuse. The coaches didn't do their jobs and the players didn't do theirs.
"We just didn't play well enough defensively to win. When you score a touchdown to go ahead, you've got to stop (the opposition)."
Funny, his old head coach, Larry Haylor said much the same thing on Saturday.

Biden to GOP: Keep an 'open mind'
Vice President Joe Biden asked nine House Republicans to keep "an open mind" on authorizing the use of force in Syria during a 90-minute Tuesday morning briefing, according to one of the participants.
There was a "general feeling that we all appreciated the meeting and we'll be very considerate of the administration's position," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). "I'm still a 'no,' but I will keep an open mind."
Story Continued Below
Biden did not discuss the White House's thinking on a Russian proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control, Chaffetz said.
( VIDEO: Obama's Syria round-robin)
The session is one of several the vice president has had in recent days with small groups of lawmakers at the White House. But this was the first time he has met solely with House Republicans, who have complained that the White House hasn't been active enough in courting their support for military action in Syria.
The group Biden met with on Tuesday represented an ideologically and geographically diverse sampling of the GOP.
"I have no idea why I was invited, but I'm glad I was," Chaffetz said. "I thought the vice president was very good … we need more dialogue like that."
In addition to Chaffetz, the group included Mike Coffman (Colo.), Keith Rothfus (Pa.), Ed Royce (Calif.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), Martha Roby (Ala.), Lynn Jenkins (Kan.), Jim Renacci (Ohio), and David Valadao (Calif.).
Correction: The story misstated the state represented by Rep. Chaffetz.

This is a movie, narrated by Jodie Foster, produced by Robert Redford, directed by Pamela Green and Jarik van Sluijs, about the first woman director ever. She made the first narrative film ever. She also invented movie stars. Oh, and the thing where you have sound? She was the first to use synchronized sound. She did a lot of things first, and no one has ever heard of her. Many of her films were destroyed, others misattributed to others. This is one of the most amazing stories of modern culture I've ever seen. Can't wait 'till the actual film comes out.

Another story that shows the equal treatment of women by our 'man centered' society. It has been demonstrated so much that when I hear of some male getting credit for something my 1st question is 'who is the woman that did all the hard word?'
Wow – hope it makes it here to the hinterlands. The Library of Congress just released a study that says nearly 75% of all silent films produced by major studios during that era have been lost or destroyed due to accident and negligence.
"Only 14% of the 10,919 silent films released by major studios exist in their original 35mm or other format, according to the report, "The Survival of American Silent Feature Films: 1912-1929." Another 11% survive in full-length foreign versions or on film formats of lesser image quality."
And that's major studios – I would presume that from the less well know studios that number would be in the high 90s.
Damn tragedy
I read somewhere that in the very early years of film, in order to copyright your work each frame needed to be transferred to paper. That's why, it is said, there are more films from the very early era than later on when the only stock film was on was nitrate. Basically dynamite.
Thank you for the mention !
How come we know nothing about this woman until now? I'm scared to think that she was forgotten because she was a woman. I'm glad she is finally remembered now.

Yellen: Interest Rates Low, Economy Weak [AUDIO]
Speaking to a Joint Economic Committee of Congress on Wednesday, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen said the U.S. economy is improving, but areas like hiring and housing are still lagging.
Yellen said the job market is, in her words, "far from satisfactory."
Rider University economics professor Maury Randall said as a result, the Fed wants "to maintain low interest rates, and they still see economic weakness."
Randall said, however, that this is good news for those looking to borrow money.
"They plan to continue to maintain this low interest rate policy for an extended period of time," he said.
On the downside, Randall said, housing prices are likely to rise, and that will not help first-time home buyers.
The Fed has been keeping those short-term interest rates at a record low, near zero, since the end of 2008. As it stands right now, those low rates may maintain the status quo into 2015 or 2016.
In her remarks, Yellen also cautioned that geopolitical tensions, a renewal of financial stress in emerging markets and a faltering housing recovery pose potential threats.

David Smith writes today on the Revolutions blog about the new terms data science and data scientist. Smith provides good background on the recent appearance of these terms and admits that he finds these terms useful.
One link Smith provides is to a post from last fall by Drew Conway, who created a Data Science Venn Diagram that defines, for Conway, where data science falls in the intersection of "hackers, statisticians, [and] subject matter experts."
When I grow up, I want to be a data scientist.

Earlier today we posted up some new screenshots of Southpeak and Timegate's kickbutt FPS game, Section 8. As you may have read in the previous article, it appeared that it was only going to be available for PC from here on out. However, a little mishap in the press circuit may have caused gamers (and reporters) to become misinformed.
The article about Section 8 looking like a mix of Halo and Crysis infers that the game is a PC exclusive, save for the update at the bottom of the page. According to the press release from earlier today it was labeled only for PC and led many within the industry to believe that the 360 and PS3 versions had been axed.
Turns out, only the PS3 version won't be making a turn-out to retailers later this year, as Section 8 is, indeed, scheduled for release on PC and Xbox 360. An e-mail from Southpeak's public relations let us in on the info, saying…" Section 8 is coming out for PC AND Xbox 360. Just thought you should know, since you sounded kind of disappointed (not that I would blame you)."
I'm not sure what happened in the process from when TimeGate's project was acquired by Southpeak (in which case they were originally partnered with GameCock), but the PS3 will be missing out on a very noteworthy shooter for 2009. Too bad.
We'll continue to keep you posted on news and updates on all things gaming here at Blend Games.

The ROOF has been raised/replaced and re done on the center portion (stalls and aisle) and both 'wings' (shop on one side/run in on other) also replaced. The raised portion has side lights (polycarb panels) the entire sides about 4 ft high. makes for amazing light and air in there vs. the lower roof before! Lots going on, getting so much finalized and repaired and redone. Was down for much of the work to get underway, and had to take some photos of the amazing little spot that it is......Springtime here is overwhelming in the visual display. My grandmother planted and put in the azaleas, dogwoods, redbuds, wisteria, ivy, periwinkle, daffodils, irises, etc, etc, etc, over 60 yrs ago....Its really amazing the color and display of just about anything you can think of! The slide show trys to take you from one side of the property to the other, around the back of the house. at the end, you'll see a sneak couple of shots of some of the few 'adornments' to the barn I added as well.

Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey
Public Urination
Last night I was issued a ticket for public urination while I was out drinking last night. Since I am from Chicago I am uncertain about the possible punishments I could face. It was a first time offense, and I was wondering how much money I might have to pay. I was wondering if I need to hire a lawyer or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
3 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Public Urination
I would have to see the ticket itself to see if you are charged with a local ordinance violation or a violation of the New Jersey Statutes. If it is an ordinance violation and you really did commit the offense, the penalty is usually just a fine of some amount with no jail or criminal record. If it is a state statute violation, the penalties could potentially be more severe. Please contact me to give me more details. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
Re: Public Urination
I would have the statute number to tell you possible consequences. Generally, it is wise to take a lawyer to court with you for a charge which might reflect on your character in the future.
You should give me a call to give me more information.
Gary Moore, Esquire
Hackensack, New Jersey
Re: Public Urination
Depending on the situation, you may not need one. I have a good guess for what the cop charged you with and if I'm right, you'll have a good case since it is not the proper statute. My initial consultations are always free so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case and you can decide whether its worth it to get an attorney.
Good luck!

WELLS — Wells High has suspended some football players for violating team and school policy.
Head coach Tim Roche and athletic director Jack Molloy wouldn't comment on who the players were or what the violation was. Molloy said it happened this week.
Wells plays at top-ranked Marshwood in South Berwick Friday night in a Western Maine Class B semifinal playoff game. Wells captured the Class B state championship last year.
"The truth is that some football players aren't playing because they got into trouble," said Roche.
"It's kids being kids. They're 15 to 17 years old. They made a mistake. The school dealt with it by the handbook. I'm proud of the way the administration and the coaches handled it. Hopefully, the kids have learned a valuable lesson. The players with us will be ready to play and play well," he said.
A week ago, No. 5 Wells edged No. 4 Greely, 9-7, in the quarterfinal round to advance.


text: Yesterday I clayed my car for the first time with Meguiars quik clay and quik detailer and I must say I was well impressed with it. We had been painting a wagon chassis at work and the car was parked about 40 metres away. it was only there for a short while as I moved the car around the back of work. Looking at the car you could not see any overspray. After claying the bonnet I was amazed at how much red there was on the clay (my cars akoya silver) after finishing the car I was amazed at how much tar etc it removed. In the past I have used Autoglym super resin polish followed by Autoglym extra gloss protection and more than happy with the results, but am now looking for better. At the minute the car is in the garage awaiting the next product. I was thinking of doing it with Autoglym super resin polish. I have noticed Polished bliss are doing an offer at the minute for Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba paste, would this work if applied after the super resin polish or am I going about things the wrong way. Edit Just read another post is Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba paste not suitable for my Akoya silver A3 Thanks in advance Matt

A man has been jailed for stealing more £5,500 worth of items from a house in Leyland.
Brian Welsh, 53, of Riverside Road, Penwortham was sent to prison for 12 months after being found guilty of burglary at Preston Crown Court.
Welsh committed the burglary at an address on Farington Gate, Leyland between June 30 and July 6, 2013, when he knew that the home owner was away on holiday.
He managed to get hold of the house key from the homeowner's aunt who was looking after it whilst her niece was away and was unaware that he had stolen it. With this, he gained entry through the back door.
Gold jewellery, including a wedding and engagement ring, £300 cash and electrical items were stolen, to the total value of £5,615. It is believed that Welsh sold them on to pay off drugs-related debt.
Some of the jewellery has been recovered and returned to the victim by officers after it was found in Welsh's car following his arrest.
Speaking after sentencing, DC Hanif Patel from Leyland CID said: "This was a planned and calculated burglary in which Welsh took advantage of having access to the house key, seeing it as his entry to the house where he took sentimental and electrical items worth thousands."

[HELP!] Format a 3TB External HDD to FAT32
Hello Trusty Seven Forum!
It seems whenever I have a computer issue I come here and the great members always help me. Well, here I am again..
I just bought a 3TB external HDD to store all my music and movies so I can view and use them on my PS3. Long story short I have been searching for a good deal on a HDD forever and I finally found one. In that time (~6 months) I did as much research as I could and felt comfortable that I'd have no problem formatting it to FAT32 so my PS3 could recognize it.
It seemed the most popular and easiest way was to use Swiss Knife. So, I downloaded SK...and it wouldn't work (isn't compatible w/ W7 apparently) and then every other program I've tried hasn't worked either.
I'm not very computer literate, though, I'm not a complete noob either (at least I don't think I am ) Can someone please help me or point me in the right direction to get this thing formatted correctly??
Thank you in advance!!

Hi Mike,
Using Windows 7, the maximum size FAT32 partition you could format to is 32GB. And if my memory serves me correctly, there is a maximum file size of 4GB.
Convert a hard disk or partition to FAT32 format
I'm not entirely sure how you might go about this, but perhaps our more experienced users can comment about creating several partitions of 32GB in size.....but the maximum file size limit will till remain.
Mike : I stumbled across this possibly solution using Ubuntu, but I've never used it.

Upto 2TB, you can use fat32format Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd . You may perhaps create another 1 TB partition and repeat the format. Try it. ( You may perhaps be able to merge the two partitons with some partitioning software later if you want one single 3TB partition.)
EDIT: I understand that PS3 does not recognise HDDs larger than 2TB and many went in for only 2TB HDDs to play safe. Just check the PS3 forums anyway. http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=17964&page=2

I don't know how I missed that the PS3 won't read drives over 2TB?? Oh well, I got the 3TB for a really good price so I can't complain.
I'm going to try again and I'll report back how it went.

Ok, now I have a new problem. I used fat32format and made a partition of 2TB. The program gave me numerous errors messages, but my drive is now split. One is 2TB, the other the remaining GB's. Windows wouldn't let me do anything to the drive until I formatted it back to NTSF. So now I have 2 different NTSF drives.
I've very lost here and I think I bit off more than I can chew. Once a drive is FAT32 can I not add anything to it using Windows? How am I supposed to get all my files onto the FAT32 partition?

|My System Specs
|24 Feb 2012
When using fat32format, select the largest allocation unit size 65536 and check whether you are able to format the full 3TB to FAT32. Atleast one user in another forum seems to have done it and succeeded. ( Since you have no data on your external drive, you can try anything.) And whether your PS3 will be able to see the 3TB is a different issue.

286 Tasting Notes
I woke up with a cold this morning :( I felt it coming on yesterday evening. So I'm having this to help soothe and feel better. I remember this having more of a ginger bite the first time I had it, but I probably can't taste it properly from the cold. Added honey, and it's comforting.
No sense drinking the good stuff until it's gone.
Happy Monday.
I highly recommend fresh ginger thinly sliced w/honey. But dont put it in a hot tea. I read somewhere that we should not put honey in hot water, just on a side;) last week my kids and hubby were cured by fresh ginger. Feel better
Fresh ginger tea sounds like a great plan :) A friend's mother makes it all the time, and it is really delicious.
Hmm…essential teas that belong in everyone's "medicine cabinet" … ginger, peppermint, raspberry leaf for us girls, tulsi… (I'm tellin' ya, those mountain grannies knew what they were doing!)
I drank this almost right after drinking the sencha. That was amistake. It did not go down well at first. But then I ate breakfast and tried another round. Much better tasting! From the name I was expecting smoke, but I got an earthy vegetable flavour, and no smoke. Maybe I should stop expecting gunpowder to have a smoky flavour.
It's a good tea if you don't drink it right after a sweet buttery tea. I'll re-visit this one when it's the first tea of the day, and provide a better review. Thanks for the sample, Cameron B!
Mmmmm gunpowder green is one of my favorites. Red Blossom also makes a great one. The name gunpowder comes from its shape, it's rolled into small pellets resembling black powder. No smoke, just big taste!
I've had this a couple of times now. The first time I tried it I remember thinking it tasted like butter cookies. When I drank it on Friday it was more like nutty cookies – no real surprise there due to the macadamia nuts. But I have noticed I can only have a couple of mugs of this at a time. There's something in the background that doesn't sit well with me.
This tea is absolutely divine. To look at it's beautiful with the marigold petals. But to sip (really slurp and gulp), oh my my. And even though I seriously over steeped this, it was still ridiculously delicious. No bitterness even though I forgot about it for about 5 + minutes.
So smooth and creamy. I got loads of butter with mild vegetal in the background. It is deliciously toasty, just like a traditional genmaicha, but this has a little extra something that makes it so much more tastier and special than a traditional genmaicha. I didn't notice the juniper, but I pretty much slurped my first cup back in about 5 minutes, it's just that good!
I'm trying for a second steep, even though I'm not sure if there's any flavour left in the leaf, but this is far too delicious to not at least try.
Why Verdant? Why does this have to be limited blend? If this became part of the permanent collection I'd be all over it.
This is tea that generated the amazing swap with Cameron B., who was generous enough to share this with me. Thank you so much!
I love curry anything, so requesting a sample of this was a no brainer for me. I am totally digging this. It is absolutely delicious. It's sweet and mildly herbaceous. The curry is present and warming. I'm also getting a bit of peppery ginger bite.
This is quite brothy and would be perfect for chilly fall or winter days. I almost felt like adding a touch more salt and pepper to it.
Thank you Cameron B for the sample…soooo goooood…mmmmm !!!!!
sad. people…I so sad… I sipped this down !!!! o.O
I love this tea so much!!!… sniffles
Ok…is not the end of the world, especially since I have another sealed ounce (which I am sooo hoarding). Hopefully this will be back in the fall lineup. If it is…I am so gonna order an obscene amount (obscene for me, anyway)…perhaps in the style of TTF :) and then i'm gonna hoard that obscene amount… so there! :-)
I LOVE YOU, YU LU!!! Please don't ever leave my cupboard!!!
Haha… YES!!! YOLO!…and this is, well this… (insert your idea of 'just so damn yums') have you tried yet, Lala? Perhaps I need to send some your way?! heh heh :)
Only 8 oz. of a "beloved" tea: "I LOVE YOU, YU LU!!! Please don't ever leave my cupboard!!!" A tea that's loved that much and is only seasonally available deserves at least a pound! :-) That Yixing is indeed a beauty! Check out new reply.
Backlog…from last night.
Well, I am more than pleasantly surprised. I lean more towards tea's without added flavours, but I had been curious about the 52 blends since discovering Steepster, and lovely Lala generously shared a bunch of samples. This is surprising good – I couldn't imagine how that pancake mouthfeel would present itself in tea form but it's wonderfully represented. Got lots of butter too. The maple made a special guest appearance a couple of times, but very elusive.
This would definitely satisfy my pancake craving. I only have pancakes once or twice a year…when we have brunch breakfast at work for sponsored charities…and I pack 'em away like nobody's business. I think I will have to keep an eye out on frank's site to see how often this is available…this will definitely do for those in between times.
Thank you Lala! yum yum!!
This is my very first 52teas blend. I've been curious for a long time about these blends, but for some reason, have always delayed on putting in an order. Thanks to Lala, I can try some of the blends to see how I like them before putting in an order.
I like this quite a lot. I didn't get much in the way of dry leaf aroma, nor did I find an off-putting nor offensive odours in the brewed version. I was actually kind of surprised at how pale the brew was, I was anticipating something….else. What I really like about this, is it does taste really creamy with a hint of orange.
I don't usually do a second infusion of flavoured tea's, but thought I would see how this would hold up. Flavours are still there, but I let it infuse too long so I did get some bitterness as well. My fault.
I think next time I may add some sweetener of some type just to see if it makes the orange pop a little more. But this is still really tasty without added sweetener.

The Oklahoma Insurance Department has formally notified federal officials that it is returning nearly $1 million in federal funds targeted for health insurance rate reviews, Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak announced.
Doak has also urged Gov. Mary Fallin to sign legislation that would reaffirm Oklahoma's control over health care issues.
The $1 million grant, which was received in August 2010, provided funding for the insurance department to conduct health insurance premium rate reviews to identify what the federal legislation said were "…unreasonable and unjustified and/or excessive rate increases."
Nearly $20,000 of the $1 million grant was obligated by the previous administration. The department will return $980,018.98 to federal officials.
In a May 2 letter to the U.S. Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, Doak wrote, "We are most able to address the health insurance needs of our citizens by using our own state resources. We will continue to conduct health insurance premium rate reviews via the use of state and private funds."
Doak called on Gov. Fallin to sign SB 722, which he said would give Oklahomans greater influence in health care decisions. Key provisions of the bill, by Sen. Clark Jolley, R-Edmond, and Rep. Glen Mulready, R-Tulsa, asserts the authority of states to control the regulation of health care and creates a health care compact for the states.
Doak, who first endorsed the bill in March, said, "This legislation reaffirms that it is the states, not the federal government, which should be responsible for regulating health care within their borders."
Doak said the bill "would permit each member state to suspend federal laws, rules, regulations and orders when the federal government oversteps its bounds in a way that is inconsistent with the laws and regulations adopted by the states participating in the compact."
Gov. Fallin has until May 18 to act on the measure.
