One of the greatest strengths of a Catholic school is the community. You are a part of a bigger family where everyone knows everyone. For Meghan McFadden '99, Scecina was right there with her during a difficult time in her life. "A unique and life changing experience I had while at Scecina was the passing of my father the summer before my senior year. I remember the day it happened, almost every single person from my class showed up at my house that night," says Meghan. ...Read More

"I was very humbled by this news. There are so many people that deserve this award more than me that it is hard to accept. The teachers, staff and administrators that devote their life to Catholic schools are the ones that deserve these types of awards."
This is Kevin Johnson '77: kind and caring, humble, modest, and puts others before himself ...Read More
The 2016 Alumni Golf Classic changed course from previous years with a switch to West Chase Golf Club in Brownsburg, owned by Scecina graduate Rick Smith '69 and his wife, Patty (Nonte) Smith '71."Many golfers commented on how much they liked the course," said Scecina Director of Development Jim McGuinness ...Read More

Grrr....I do NOT want to run in this crap tomorrow AM. I am already dreading it. And it's COLD out there! I wish I had a treadmill. Next Winter I think I might join Thunderbolt for a few months, just to have somewhere to run indoors.
You know, I really need to see what kind of deals I could get for new boots and bindings on my XC skis. That would be a fun way to spend a morning. I have really nice skis that I got in jr. high, but the bindings are those old 3-peg ones and my boots are too small, so I think it's time to look into some Salomen bindings and bigger boots. It IS beautiful outside and not too terribly cold (or at least the wind is calm). The bike path would be a pretty decent place to ski, I think, especially since the snowmobiles have packed things down a bit.
I'd love to try snowshoeing, but I'll bet new boots and bindings for my skis would be cheaper (though snowshoing would probably be an even better, faster workout).

1. We named the baby! I'm not sure when I'll announce it (probably when he's born in all of his majestic glory) but we're really excited about it.
2. My husband called me just to talk about Blake and Miranda getting a divorce. I'm not surprised and yet, what????
3. Did you see all of the amazing recipes during Popsicle Week?! You have to make all of them!
4. I found out my weight so I could start using my FitBit. I cried, yet I know it's from getting pregnant and being pregnant. Reality bites.
5. Have you been watching the Bachelorette this season?! I love how absolutely terrible it is. I scream at the screen. Why is she not asking important questions? "Where would we live? What are your work goals? What are your life goals?" Instead she just "feels" like each guy would be a good husband.
I'm so excited about Ray Donovan! OMG I can't even. Liev Schrieber is just so dang hot I can't stand it. Yup, that's pretty much what I think of it. Oh, and the giant dog that Abby found and kept? Love. I was reTweeted by the show a couple weeks ago and I almost had a heart attack.
6. I'm addicted to bags at Target lately. I felt a need to buy (as in have my mom buy) 2 of the striped ones for weekend trips, and yet there's a mint polka dot bag that's killer cute too! Or maybe I'm just addicted to spending ALL THE MONEY at Target?
7. I made my birthday list! It's my last birthday before becoming a mommy and I feel like it's my last birthday, period. I know that I'll be receiving gifts for my children from now on, or receiving nothing, being told that birthday gifts are for kids. That's cool. But I still have a bunch of stuff I want. So…who's going to buy it all for me?? Ugh, me. Oh well. I'm a child. Sprinkles please.
I'm going to share it with you soon because I'm pretty sure you'll flip for all the pretties too!
8.Lately I've been obsessed with getting 2 things: a record player [for the baby of course…I'm sure he'll love listening to Elle King and Kacey Musgraves on vinyl] and a lamb. Yes, a real lamb. The kind that grow into sheep. Someday, I swear I'll have them both. One sooner than the other, but they're both happening [Sorry Steve, I must have the lamb].
What have you been obsessed with lately?!
Can you guess what we'll name the baby? I'm really curious as to what you think an awesome name would be.

Are you panicking that your search engine ranking is about to tank because you've published guest posts on your blog?
Have you got your emails ready? You know, the ones you plan to send out to every blog you've guest posted on, requesting they remove your guest post because it's now a big No-No according to Google…
Slow down girlfriend.
We're about to quickly discuss what you should do if:
- You've published guest posts on your blog.
- You've written guest posts that link to your blog.
Published Guest Posts
If you followed my advice about paid-for backlinks from You Can Just Shove Your Guest Post, you can stop panicking. Matt is not about to cutt you or your search engine traffic. If you've published guest posts from bloggers who impress you and the links in their posts leads to their blog, you're in good shape.
If you've published "sponsored posts" in the form of guest posts, I recommend visiting the links within the posts to determine the quality of the site you're linking to. If it's a good site, be sure to nofollow all of the links within the post. To do this, include
rel="nofollow" before the closing tag that includes the link.
For example, the link looks like this:  i want you to add a space after xyz" and paste
rel="nofollow" before the last > (closing tag).
Your link will now look like this:
If you're linking to crappy sites, remove the links.
The exception to this is if you've made agreements with the "sponsor" that requires you to keep the posts and the links. You'll then need to contact the sponsor and hash it out. We don't want you breaking agreements and getting sued. In most cases, you'll find that the "sponsor" will agree.
Guest Posts You've Written
Guest posting is and will always be a great way to build your blog and brand's exposure. Yes, it requires hard work. The post needs to be written to benefit the hosting blog's audience. This requires you to read several of the hosting blog's posts, the comments, research what topics are most loved by it's readers, etc. A guest post can typically take weeks to write. And that's ok. To impress the hosting blog's readers, it's important to put your best foot forward so that every guest post you've submitted to fellow bloggers are written with integrity. With that in mind, as long as you're following the tips in Stop Screwing Your Blog Traffic When Guest Posting, there's no reason for you to hit send on those emails.
On a related note, if you find that guest posting hasn't been sending you traffic, you'll want to:
A. Consider the quality of your post
B. Consider the quality of the blog you've submitted your quest post to
C. Consider the traffic that blog receives.
What Matt says about publishing guest posts:
Head to the 1:03 mark for the most important info.
Here's the Take Away:
Don't panic.
If you've been ethical in your guest posting activities, you're OK.
If you've been evaluating guest posts and the sites they link to before serving it up to your audience, you're OK.
If you have some questionable content, fix it.

What Happens After My Paper is Shredded?
Paper shredding services are not only a convenient and affordable way to shred all your unwanted and sensitive documents, but also a great way to make a positive impact on the environment.
Offices in the United States use approximately 12.1 trillion sheets of paper every year!
What's even worse is that 45% of the papers used in offices are trashed instead of recycled.
These numbers are staggering. Our planet is only capable of so many resources and we are consuming them at a far faster pace than the Earth is producing.
But here is the good news:
Our network of shredding services always recycle all the remains of shredded and destroyed papers so that they can be used to create new, recycled paper.
The Importance of Recycling
Recycling all your paper is a great way to make a positive change in today's declining environmental conditions.
By recycling 1 ton of paper, 17 fully matured trees and 7,000 gallons of water can be saved.
Imagine what the benefits could be if recycling paper was a mandatory practice in all offices and homes.
How to Start Recycling
Recycling really is very simple.
All you have to do is designate a separate bin for different types of recyclable materials.
Each city and state most likely has a recycling protocol set in place to make disposing of regular waste and recyclable waste easy and convenient, so check with your local regulations if you are unsure.
One Thing to Remember
Recycling is great for the environment but there is one thing to be wary of..
In the same way that you wouldn't want to toss any sensitive documents that contain private or financial information into the trash, you also want to make sure you aren't doing so in the recycling bin.
Keeping yourself and your organization safe from cyber criminals and identity thieves is always important to remember.
Make sure to dispose of all those personal documents properly!
Shred Nations Can Help!
Shred Nations is partnered with local contractor services from all around the country to aid in the fight against cyber terrorism. With options like mobile shredding, drop off shredding, and off site shredding services, there is sure to be a service that fits your home or organization's needs.
Shred Nations' network of professionals are all environmentally conscious and recycle all the remains of shredded and destroyed documents to be made into new paper.
Manufacturing recycled paper to create new paper uses 40% less energy than creating paper from new materials!

As of this morning, my devices connected to koala are not accessing the internet. The schedule is set to "on" and there are no notifications saying that I'm not connected. I'm getting blinking lights on the koala indicating that devices are connected and that koala is connecting to the internet. Devices not using koala are accessing the Wi-Fi just fine. I've been running koala for a few months now and feel like I'm pretty good at trouble-shooting, but this morning I'm stuck.
I've tried resetting the koala multiple times and I still get "there is no internet connection." Again, devices not on Koala are accessing the internet without problems.
That's interesting. I'm having exactly the same problem, again, after several months of running without issue. I noticed from the app that I was updated to version 1.22955 this morning, which could coincide with my problems starting (although I'm not 100% when mine stopped working).
Hi all, I'm having the same issues. Have taken all the usual actions. looks like a software issue. Daniel
Hi all, we're investigating the issue now. Apologies for the inconvenience.
looks like whatever you guys did behind the scenes worked, I'm up and going now. thanks
A bit late, but I noticed this too after the firmware update, after reboot of the device, it started working again.
I have this problem. Tried restarting koala safe. Still not working.
Hi @Jrdavies, if you email support with the MAC address of your KoalaSafe (take a photo if that's easier) and the name of the device/profile having trouble (or if it's all devices, mention that), we can have a look at diagnostics.
How do I find MAC address of kaola? It's all devices apart from Xbox for some reason

Profiteroles [Part 3/3] – Croquembouche
**EDIT: I need to improve this caramel recipe! It works sometimes, and doesn't others – So if you want something a little more dependable, I would recommend checking out Martha Stewart's Recipe (which I have tried, and is great). 🙂 Sorry for this, everyone! I hope the photos and notes on this blog help you as you put yours together!
The last two times I've posted, I've written about making Pastry Cream and making Profiteroles. Today, I'm going to post about… Croquembouche!
"Croquembouche" is the name of a French dessert that literally means, "Crunch in mouth." I learned how to make this a while ago, as a favor to someone who wanted it at an event… And wow. It's super good, really cool looking, and just interesting. Which are three things I love about making dessert.
If you're feeling adventurous, I'm abut to tell you how to make one yourself. Are you ready?
A croquembouche, if I understand correctly, is a French tradition for weddings, in place of a cake. It is basically a tower of profiteroles, stuck together with caramelized sugar and then decorated with spun sugar.
To make one, you're going to need the following ingredients, plus a few supplies:
Profiteroles, filled and ready to go
…Yup, that's all!
Note: This is a homemade, home-eaten method… If you're making this for a wedding, you might want to be a little more meticulous about how you put this together. Feel free to ask questions if you need help!
To get started, set up a work station with newspaper on the floor, greased wax paper on the counter, and the plate you want to display your masterpiece on. You will also need a hot pad, a spoon, and 2 forks or a sugar spinning tool, to make those thin strands of caramelized sugar around the outside of your dessert.
Forks can be used if you don't have anything else, and this is how you would hold them:
My preference, however, is to use something like this. I actually just took an old whisk, clipped the end off with wire cutters, and made myself a sugar spinning tool.
To make the caramelized sugar, put 1 c. of sugar and 3 Tbsp. water into a medium heavy bottomed saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown (you don't have to make it quite as dark as I did if you like a smoother, lighter caramel taste). DO NOT STIR.
Important: As the mixture boils, use a pastry brush, dipped in water, to brush down the sides of the pan periodically to remove bits of sugar stuck to the sides. This will help keep a liquid consistency.
Note: This is HOT! Be careful. And by hot, I mean beyond hot. Like, hotter than hot oil hot. Be VERY careful.
Remove the caramel from heat and set to work! (You need to work quickly; this caramel will set as time goes by). Using a spoon, drizzle a small ring of caramel on the base of the plate you're using. Set about 5 profiteroles around the caramel, to stick to the plate.
Tip: You can also dip the profiteroles, but to keep you from burning your fingertips, I'm going to recommend using a spoon. I have also found that if you dip them, sometimes the blend of textures in the caramel will cause it to crystalize in the pot… Which is frustrating, because then you have to start over. So a spoon is an easy way to work.
Drizzle the tops of those 5 with more caramel, and stack more profiteroles on top (I did 4 for the second layer, 3 for each of the next 2 layers, and 1 for the top). When they are all stacked together, you can spoon a little more caramel over the whole thing, to drip down the sides if you want (optional).
Next, dip the tips of the forks or sugar spinner into the hot caramel. Lift it out, and and dip it back in a couple of times until there are little tips of sugar stuck to the end of the sugar spinner.
Then, either on the greased wax paper, or on the croquembouche itself (which is what I did, and that's why the plate looks so… special ;)), drag the spinning utensil out of the pot and flick it back and forth (waving it around) across the surface you're spinning on, re-dipping it in the sugar as needed. If you are doing it over wax paper, flick it back and forth a few times to create long, whispy strands of sugar, and then pick them up and wrap them around the croquembouche while they're still warm.
Dun-na! Serve it up! 🙂
So much goodness!
And that's all! If you make this, please let me know… I'd love to hear how it turned out.
Thanks for reading!

Professional Clothing Show closes on a high.
All aspects of the professional clothing industry came together under one roof, as the seventh edition of Professional Clothing Show took place at the NEC Birmingham last week.
Exhibitors culminated in Hall 8 of the iconic UK exhibition venue, spanning their wares from the three sectors of corporatewear, workwear and PPE. Over the course of the two day event on 1st and 2nd April, they met with an array of domestic and international buyers keen to get their hands on the latest innovations – from the latest slick suits and tailoring, to personal protective equipment that can literally make the difference between life and death for its wearers.
2014 marked many significant changes for the exhibition, with a name rebranding, return to the NEC and well-received events on the show floor such as the return of 'Pro Show Live' – the live catwalk show at the heart of the exhibition hall and the addition of on-topic industry speakers, sharing their thoughts and expertise on hot issues such as Fairtrade, recyclable workwear and CSR.
Awarding talent across the industry Adding a significant spark for celebration on site was co-hosting of the much anticipated biannual event the Professional Clothing Awards, peaking excitement at the end of the first day of the show at the adjacent Hilton Birmingham Metropole.
Despite the event being entirely sold out, enquiries came in thick and fast until the eleventh hour with companies and visitors looking to secure a last minute ticket to the glamorous black tie gala event.
A judging panel of industry experts ploughed through over 120 entries from companies all over the world to make their final decisions in each award, which spanned the three categories of SATRA PPE Innovation, Supplier Manufacturer and Distributor Awards, and the highly sought-after Business Manager Awards. In many cases, the high calibre of entries and difficult judging decisions were reflected with the awarding of Highly Commended recognition in addition to winners.
The evening saw the victors walking away with approximately thirty certificates and trophies across the corporatewear, workwear and PPE sectors, recognising and celebrating achievements and innovations within their chosen sector. Hosting the prestigious event and steering course for the evening were honoured guests Ruth Morris, Uniform Manager of the Rugby World Cup 2015 and John Miln, CEO of the UKFT. SATRA backs PPE winners Highlight wins of the night included Outdry Technologies and Creative SRL, taking home the SATRA PPE Innovation of the Year Award for their Fire-Flow Outdry Gloves. In addition to taking the overall PPE title, the team won an exclusive opportunity to undertake at SATRA Technology Centre research, testing and certification to a maximum full price value GBP 10,000, in addition to the opportunity to discuss working with SATRA to develop a product or products for commercial exploitation.
Austin Simmons, CEO of SATRA said: "Choosing the winners proved to be extremely difficult for the judges as the standard was high. But decisions had to be made. Each application was considered equally regardless of whether it came from a large global company or an individual. Across all categories the judges reported that the winning entries were able to balance innovation with commercial viability, and provided detailed but concise reasons as to why they deserved to win."
New for 2014: The ASBCI Student Design Award The 2014 event welcomed a brand new awards category to the fold, driven with the purpose of welcoming fresh new design talent into the professional clothing industry. In conjunction with the ASBCI and with the support of Dimensions, students from colleges and universities across the country were invited to submit their 'vision' of corporatewear, workwear or PPE for the year 2020. The garments of the nine finalists were seen live on the catwalk at the Professional Clothing Show, pleasing the crowds with some very quirky spins on a view of the future. In addition to cash prizes and certificates, the winner will go on to a three month work placement at Dimensions Headquarters to kick start their career.
Awards recognised not only product innovations, but also the achievements of individuals who have made significant contributions to working in their chosen industry. Footwear veteran Frank Van Wezel, Founder and Chairman of Hi-Tec Sports took home a lifetime achievement award for over 30 years' service and innovation in his company. A surprise award for Long Service to the Textiles Industry went to William Sudgen & Sons, who were overwhelmed to learn their nomination came from their own staff to recognise their steep 144 year history in the business.
Business Managers get their time to shine Bringing the event to a close was the much anticipated Business Manager of the Year Award, which specifically recognises the importance of Business Managers in serving clients in high profile contracts to understand and fulfil briefs, and deliver on target. Taking home the crystal in this category was Samantha Heilling & Team for their Home Office uniform, supplied by Hunter Apparel Solutions. The judges were bowled over by Samantha's attention to detail on an incredibly high profile UK contract for uniform, with over 11'000 users kitted out over 177 sites.
Yvette Ashby, managing director for the Professional Clothing Awards and the supporting Professional Clothing Show commented: "It was fantastic to see that yet again, the Professional Clothing Awards was so well supported by the industry. These awards were created specifically due to demand, and to recognise talent and achievements and it was great to see a mix of all companies take the stage – from the big names, down to the students just starting out in their careers. I am incredibly proud to be able to bring all facets of our industry together for a celebration which means so much to all those involved."

Google Is Almost Ready To Submit Its iOS Maps App
The Wall Street Journal reports from a source with "direct knowledge of the matter" that Google has distributed a test build of Google Maps for iOS. It has not yet been submitted to Apple's App Store.
After Apple's iOS 6 upgrade kicked out Google Maps, users in some parts of the world were left stranded with bad directions given by Apple's own Maps app. When Google's new app is released, iPhone and iPad users will be able to go back to the best online maps in the business.
I say when, not if, because it's a ridiculous conspiracy theory to think that Apple will block the app from approval. It would be a PR nightmare, for one thing. But there's also no good reason for it. Apple allows all of Google's other services in the App Store, even when they compete with Apple's own offerings. Apple built its own Maps app to have control over the core features of the device, but it doesn't block third-party apps for no good reason.
That doesn't mean Apple won't take its sweet time, though. Apple waited months before finally approving Google's excellent Search app update that added Siri-like intelligent voice search, and it never offered an explanation for the delay. Apple doesn't comment on apps before they're approved in the App Store, so we'll still have to wait and see how long it takes for Google Maps to show up.
When Google Maps hits the app store, it won't be alone. Nokia, which actually has world-class maps of its own, launched Here yesterday, a mapping service that works on the mobile Web now and will have a native iOS app soon. And Apple has already taken to promoting alternative mapping apps from Bing, Mapquest and others in the App Store. In CEO Tim Cook's letter to Apple customers about Maps, he explicitly endorsed these alternatives.
Cook says Apple's goal is to give its customers the best experience, period, even if that means promoting alternative apps on its devices. If he's serious about that, Apple will approve Google Maps quickly even as it keeps making its own maps better.


text: Dunno if people were/are talking about this but the pre-owned recertified Droid X has been on verizon's site IN STOCK for the past day (and still is as I type this). I ordered one today @ 11 AM central time and has already been shipped with a FedEx tracking # and an ETA of Friday. Just in case you're sick of waiting this is a great option IMO. I was super surprised at the price as well...it said $150 with my new any 2 upgrade but also decided to give me a $100 credit on top of that...and no dealing with a rebate. I dunno how that worked out but I'm stoked! I can report back when it gets here day after tomorrow.

27 is kind of a magic number for me, but not because it's my age. Been a few years since that one now. I'll tell you why: I've found that any room or area of my house looks a million times
better if I put just 27
things away. It usually
only takes a few minutes too!
Let me show you an embarrassing picture of my garage floor.
This is right at the door from the inside of the house, and it looked like this for probably two weeks. Yep, for two weeks, every time we went in or out of the garage we were stepping in or over spilled crayons markers and pencils. Why is it so hard to just do a job like that sometimes? I don't know. But I finally decided to do use my 27-thing trick, and look at the difference! I counted all the crayons as one "thing", and it still only took about 3 minutes to clean up this whole little spot. Now we no longer risk sprained ankles or death as we go in and out of this door.
Another visual proof for you? How about my kitchen counter after breakfast and making lunches? This is what it looked like the other day after getting the kids on the bus. I do realize that I could put each thing away as soon as I'm done using it--but, well, there's a reason I don't run an organizing blog :)
Go try it. Pick a room (or the table!) and put away just 27 things and see what you think!

New Year, New Doodle: A Letter From Our Founder
Dear Doodle Family —
It is 2017 and we can't believe it! Eight months since the launch of our beta and four years (FOUR YEARS!!!) since it was a tiny idea in my tiny brain. Luckily, we did not have to rely upon my IQ because we had all of YOU! From Marin to Mumbai, you generously shared ideas, opinions, energy and enthusiasm. You posted, promoted, protested and participated. And we thank you a million times over!
Now, what does this mean? Evidently, we have so much more to do! It means that while you want a space to creatively express yourselves, you also want a place to turn those expressions into action. While you love to connect digitally, you really crave a little community, in person style. And, most importantly, while you know that the future sits in your very capable hands, you are tired of waiting for all of us adults to catch on, step aside and let you get to changing the world. Enter Doodle 2.0…
With our team of olds and youngs, we are going to tweak and tighten — hopefully making your world even more sparkly and spectacular than before. Still the same access to ideas, experts and experiences but supersized. Like…
- No more platform! Just sign up and get weekly emails with exclusive access to everything happening in the Doodle world.
- Workshops, workshops, workshops! More real world opportunities to meet fellow world changers, learn from people like fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, Olympic athlete Alexi Pappas or the next Rachel Maddow (if we have our way) Sage Adams and get tips on turning your passion into profession from creative people kicking ass.
- Everyone welcome! We have been inclusive from the start but Doodle will make every effort to be a safe and supportive space for all. Gender schmender!
So, here's the deal…since we are a "school", you have an assignment: speak up, speak out, speak, speak, speak. Tell us what you need, want, like, love. Tell us how Doodle can do more for you so you can do more for the world. Find us on Instagram, send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or comment below. C'mon! We're waiting…

President Obama spoke to Boston and the nation Thursday about resilience and perseverance, but his words could easily apply to his own emotional state amid perhaps the most difficult week of his second term.
A president often accused of not feeling the nation's pain has drawn on emotion this week to describe a broad defeat of gun-control legislation and to help heal a city after the bombing attack on the Boston Marathon.
Those setbacks — one for the country's sense of security and another for the president's second-term agenda — have revealed a different Obama.
During his first term, Obama was often clinical when it came to policy decisions and his public message, sometimes to the disappointment of his more ideological base. But this week, he has expressed exasperation, anger and sorrow in responding to a political defeat in Washington and to national adversity in the Boston attacks.
"We may be momentarily knocked off our feet, but we'll pick ourselves up," Obama told those gathered at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, citing the example of Bill Iffrig, 78, a runner who was blown down from a bomb blast as he approached the finish line. "We'll keep going. We'll finish the race."
As he took his place in a front-row pew, Obama wiped tears from his eyes amid swelling applause.
The moment recalled the last time he wept publicly — on the mid-December day when a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children and six women.
Obama pledged then to seek tighter restrictions on gun sales, and he made the Newtown families the face of his effort. It is the technique of the community organizer he once was.
But his national campaign for gun control was defeated Wednesday when the Senate, controlled by his party, blocked the core of his legislative plans, including the publicly popular proposal to expand background checks for firearm sales.
In the aftermath, Obama, using a word loaded with opprobrium, said, "All in all, this was a pretty shameful day in Washington."
"I've heard some folks say that having the families of victims lobby for this legislation was somehow misplaced," he continued, surrounded by Newtown parents and former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was severely injured in a shooting in 2011. " 'A prop,' somebody called them. 'Emotional blackmail,' some outlet said. Are they serious?"
This was an Obama unrecognizable from his first term, when he spoke about bending "cost curves" in pushing for universal health care and about contract law when corporate executives were receiving generous bonuses amid economic despair.
But his angry analysis, while stirring to supporters, could not hide his inability to rally enough senators behind hugely popular gun measures.
A senior administration official said Obama thinks the Senate's defeat of gun legislation was the result of "rank cynicism and cowardice" — a "dichotomy," the official said, "given the bravery we all saw in Boston a few days earlier."
"He knew this would be very hard, and no one advised him not to do it, because to do nothing would have been such a failure of leadership," said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss White House thinking about the setback. "I think our supporters would have revolted, and they should have if we had done nothing."
Of his legislative priorities, gun control was not one whose public support was validated by his last election.
The Newtown massacre happened after Election Day, and Obama made gun control a priority in his second inaugural address, his State of the Union speech and visits to a cities that have suffered gun violence in recent months.
That was not enough, as he realized this week. A president's moral outrage bumped up against the lobbying clout of the National Rifle Association and a challenging midterm election map for some Democratic senators.
"It was a massive reach, really," said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar at the Brookings Institution.
It has taken years in the past for presidents, including Bill Clinton, to secure gun-control measures, and Hess said the political dynamic in Washington has largely remained unchanged.
Obama and his advisers said repeatedly that securing what they had proposed would not be easy. But as bipartisan compromise emerged over the amendment to expand background checks, there was more fear of the Republican-controlled House than of a Democratic-run Senate that appeared ready to act.
"I think it's fair to chalk it up as an honorable, decent fight that told us a lot about the man who had never shown this sort of emotional response before," Hess said. "Now you move on."
Obama moved on Thursday to Boston, where the first large-scale attacks on U.S. soil in the post-Sept. 11, 2001, era were carried out on a holiday afternoon this week.
He invoked his history in celebrating Boston's, noting his time in the city during law school at Harvard and as the site of a speech he made at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that launched his national political career.
His remarks then were built around the notion of ending the partisanship that gripped Washington. His comments Thursday were far different.
"This is personal," he said. "This is personal."
Obama used the victims of Newtown to tell a story of tragedy and redemption for families, a city and the country. He quoted Scripture to start, urging those gathered to "run with endurance the race that is before us."
"That's what you've reminded us — to push on," Obama said. "We finish the race."
He has told the Newtown families and the nation that he intends to do so with gun control, even as immigration legislation takes shape and negotiations over the federal budget begin.
Said the senior administration official: "The backlash may be felt in the 2014 election, it may be felt in the 2016 elections, but the political landscape will be different in the future for those who opposed this. By having this fight, we've made it more likely that something will get done the next time."

Are you considering tankless water heater services in Fairfax, VA to replace your old water heater? The Plumberologist can help!
If you own a conventional water heater, then you are well-aware of the fact that the units have a large, 40 to 80-gallon storage tank that is most likely taking up valuable square footage in your utility room or basement. However, as long as your water heater is working, isn't too noisy, and is able to deliver hot water when you need it, then why should you have to worry?
Maybe not everything with your conventional tanked unit has been fine, though. Have you been forced to having to take cold showers at night after the rest of your family has used up all of the hot water? Have you been shocked with the high costs of your latest utility bills? Or maybe you're just tired of having what seems to be a fragile, energy-inefficient waste of space in your home!
You aren't alone. That's why so many Americans are upgrading to tankless water heating, and it's why Plumberologist offers installation and maintenance of this new technology. Tankless water heaters are a far more advanced and efficient technology than your conventional tank type.
If you switch to tankless from traditional water heating, you will immediately begin to enjoy the benefits of:
Above are just three of many other benefits that come with upgrading to a tankless water heater. With that, shouldn't you at least look into the option?
Contact us today to see if a tankless water heater is right for you!
"Jamie Money was the most thorough, professional plumber I've ever seen, and believe me, I've dealt with my share of them. He gave us great estimates on work that needs to be done and both my wife and I were quite satisfied with him."
"We've relied on Home Service Doctors since moving into our first home a few years ago. On the three occasions when we've had to engage them to resolve a plumbing issue, they've been nothing but absolutely wonderful."

Just a quickie here......SIL's path report says margins are clear. I'm still very cautious though.
Crappy weather, snow tonight and Okies don't know how to drive in GOOD weather. UGH! Talk at you more later when I get home from work. Boo

moanin all,
Yally, don't know where this storm came from but since about midnight last night until now (6:20pm) we've had about 37 cm which I think is about a foot and a bit. It's blowin around, visibility is nil and its freezing. It's not supposed to end until tomorrow sometime. Looks real nice from the window but not so nice if you have to drive.
Fingers and shoulders are real bad today. I'm anxious for my appt in a couple of weeks. It's gotta get better than this.
Ta Ta for now
Moanin everyone!
How the heck did I miss and entire thread and a half??? I had to scan...to attempt to catch up. Did not do a very good job. Erin, glad to see you are back. I hope the infection clears up soon. Joan, you have the shingles, not fun I hear! I was actually worried that's what I might have - but it doesn't seem to fit the bill and I don't have time to go to Dr.s right now. My back itches somethign awful. To the point my shirt will hurt it. My psorisis has been acting up on my scalp and hands and thought that might be it -but hubby says it's a little red with lots of pimple-looking things all around my back. He's been putting lotion on it now and again for me. Not sure what it could be. Tonight I saw somehting similar on my daughter's back - what gives? any ideas folks?
Someone was asking aboutbeing tired an on some meds (mtx or something)...I can't remember now, but I wanted to say take B complex vitamins and some folic acid.
My job has been extended 3 months. Mixed feeling about that. Fighting chest-cold myself (feel better Ducky!) that my kids had over the weekend. Both still congested coughs. May have all of next week off! YEAH! A double yeah if I being extended, I need the break.
I miss you all very much!
OH, and yes, family gathering for daughter's bday went exceptionally well, I thought! ****

Is it possible to be emotionally poly?

I think we all know that some people are more sexual than other as a general rule. And then, on top of that, one person will be more or less sexual at different times. I think the two are different though.
A person who is sexual might be more or less sexual depending on the partner, circumstances and way they see themselves. However that implies being sexual to begin with.
While the asexual communities seem to have some "range" (as in, the minimally sexual are welcome too, from what I know), it seems to me they mostly do not have a switch that could be turned off or on. I have no sexual attraction to women, and don't believe that it's about any self-image issue. Some don't have any sexual attraction to men. Some don't to either.
For me, the hard thing is dealing with it in everyday life, because I tend to be heavy on innuendos and talk about sex, and I might feel awkward in case they'd rather not talk about it, or simply would not "get" it.
But I don't think having no sex drive means they're flawed. To me, that's just the way they are. Sure, biologically we're sexual beings, but we're also supposed to reproduce, and that doesn't prevent people from being gay, right? I don't know, it's a minority for sure, but that doesn't mean they're "flawed" or need to be "treated".

The New York Times reports that 1950s screen idol Tab Hunter will come out in a memoir he is writing for publisher Simon and Schuster. The book is scheduled for release in 2005. "Years ago," Hunter tells the Times, "the great producer at Paramount, Howard Koch, told me I should write a book, and I laughed and said, 'I don't have the guts.'"
In the book Hunter will discuss his abusive childhood, working in Hollywood as the studio system died out, and his struggle to remain in the closet. The actor's relationship with fellow gay thespian Anthony Perkins will be covered as well. "I didn't flaunt things," says Hunter. "I know when Tony and I went to the movies, he would say, 'Let's go in disguise.' We always wore baseball caps. Or he'd say, 'You go at a certain time, I'll go later.' I knew people were talking. I didn't like that."
Hunter's films include Damn Yankees, Battle Cry, The Pleasure of His Company, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Lust in the Dust, and John Waters's Polyester.

Ken Page Quotes
For black folks, the Confederate flag represents the same thing that the Nazi flag represents to the Jews. There is absolutely no difference when we look at it. Now, white folks try to explain it away like, 'Oh, it's OK.' But when you're black, it is not OK. It represents oppression and murder.

text: I have been away from home on Business since January and havent played or thought about my Wii until tonight. I thought I would ask you guys what if anything is new these days. I know the news channel is up and working but other then that, I have no idea what has happened since the beginning of the new year. Do we have online gaming yet, ie. multiplayer? Is there a fix to adding friends, or do we still have to enter that huge stupid number? Can we chat online to friends yet? Is Zelda still the only game worth playing? Are there new downloads that makes the Wii menu more fun? Fill me in guys, would like to know if I am missing anything.

The IRS says single-family homes, multifamily structures of three stories or fewer above grade or mobile or modular homes do not qualify for the tax breaks. Any energy-efficient improvements also must be installed as part of the:
-Interior lighting system.
-Heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water system.
-Building envelope.
See IRS Notice 2006-52 for more information.
Background: Under the new energy law, commercial-building owners or leaseholders can deduct all or part of the cost of energy-efficient property placed in service after Dec. 31, 2005, and before Jan. 1, 2008.
The maximum deduction generally is equal to $1.80 per building square foot less any aggregate deductions claimed in prior years. Example: If you've claimed no prior deductions, the maximum you can deduct for a 100,000-square-foot building is $180,000 ($1.80 times 100,000).
The law does not cap deductions: The bigger the building, the bigger your potential deduction.
To qualify, the improvements must reduce annual energy and power costs by 50 percent or more, certified by a contractor or engineer. But you may be eligible for partial tax savings if the building meets a 16 2/3 percent energy-savings target. The contractor or engineer who provides the certification must use computer software to calculate energy and power consumption and costs.
Tip: The Energy Department will create and maintain a list of computer software that contractors and engineers may use. Find the list at www.eere.energy.gov /buildings/info/tax†credit†2006.html.
Alert: These tax breaks go off the books after 2007. When you consider all the work that you must do to meet this deadline— such as lining up subcontractors and other workers—it's important for building owners to firm up plans right away.

ONE of the world's rarest animals, an alligator snapping turtle, has been found in a drain in Sydney, where he has apparently lived for 20 years.
It took six men with a wheelbarrow to haul him from the drain after he was flushed out by heavy rain. The cantankerous creature, which can bite off a finger, may have survived on a diet of rats and feral cats.
Cowabunga, as he has been named, is believed to have been one of seven baby alligator snapping turtles stolen from the Australian Reptile Park in Gosford, New South Wales, in 1979. Experts believe the others could also be flourishing in Sydney's drains.
Adults can weigh more than 12 stone and can live for more than 70 years. Native to North America, they are listed among the top 10 endangered species.
Cowabunga is now back at the park, where a female of the species recently survived a fire that killed her mate. Park managers hope for a new romance.

Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys this is my second build, I've been playing ALOT of Mundo lately and I think hes a ton of fun to play, later on in the guide I'll be talking about the skill sequence and item choice, and a bunch of other things about how I play my tanky dps Mundo! and guys if you have any more questions about mundo just friend me in game my name is Gibonatri you guys are great just for looking at this build!
How you should play your games!
im use to high dps champs so I sorta end up playing everyone dps... i may make a shen build at some point depending on ratings... so basically just go in super aggressive but backing down at the first sign of tower danger, a few games into using this build you will know how it goes ;) just stay strong until about 50% health, then judge it by how strong the enemies in your lane are, and how aggressive your partner is. if possible, ask another manaless champ to come with you, for an extra annoying spaming buddy ;) I'll say more about this after a few more important pieces of information
alright guys now to explain some pros and cons:
strong passive for .35 health regen per sec all the time! (Garrens passive constantly??!!?!??!!)
masochism is really helpful for a bit of extra damage, there should be no problem bringing down early game enemies
in my opinion he is not a great chaser until late game
sometimes the health costs on abilities isnt your friend at all
I take these 22/0/8 masteries for all manaless dps champs I use i think it works well especially on mundo, just because with the item build i show... you really dont get attack damage until Atmas, so having the mastery tree full in offence really helps through mid and late game, then whenever im done in offence i splash for the extra exp gain in utility
Skill Sequence
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TEAM SAYS GO WITH INFECTED CLEAVER FIRST!!!!!!! I cannot stress that enough!!! you should be spamming the **** out of that Q button all through the game!!!!! whenever its off cooldown I DONT CARE IF YOUR ALONE AT YOUR TOWER WAITING FOR THE ENEMY MINIONS TO SHOW UP!!! THROW ONE JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT!!! I'm not joking either, hit bushes, hit creeps hit walls hit yourself I DONT CARE just hit things with your butcher knife of pain!!!!!!! ooh right... also take E, masochism, for the damage per health lost, i think at like 75% health at rank one i do around 140 dmg to creeps which is great for last hitting. The last skill... W skill it is so unimportant to me i really dont know the name of it... it reduces CC on you by like 15% though so if you are getting hard cc just flick it on, late game you will regen all the health you lose and more just because your mundo... and his ULT!!!!!! the most annoying skill ever!!! I played a game recently where a tristana (dont laugh) took me down to around 150 hp, i ran into a bush for a sec, popped my ult and regen back to around 65% health... she ran in and I graped her in the ear... she raged for like 45 min and reported me for it which is always funny
alright I start with the health gem thingy because of the cost of all abilities. It is a good early tank item and it helps me do alot more damage without going back early on. ill usually go back first when i can finish my spirit visage at around 1075 gold. if im lucky ill get boots of speed quickly with that. i take all other items for health regen and alot of health and armor, plus guardian angel should come in handy atleast once late game... paired with your ult should be no problem staying alive
Summoner Spells
I take ghost because it always comes in handy if you dont wanna pop your ult for the speed buff... great for chasing and escaping bla bla bla youve heard it all before.
Always fun to watch someone burn into dust without poisoning them ;) I usually get a few kills with it per game... i guess since you wont have any other spell masteries you could take whatever you want with ghost... but I like Ignite to laugh in enemies faces
How to attack
how to attack? YES your standard combo should be Q-W-E-Q-E-Q-E-Q and so on until you need your ult, or your enemy is dead, and yes any enemy you fight should die! the cleaver should do amazing damage i think its based on enemy health? what ever its awesome, and with Masochism the more they damage you the more damage they will take! plus if they stun you your W will shorten the effect. if they run slow them with a cleaver, if you need to run, throw a cleaver, if your still fighting throw a cleaver, cleaver a cleaver, itch your back with a cleaver JUST USE THEM!!!

Site slow to respond (already using WP Super Cache)
Been trying to figure out why the WordPress blog I'm running is so often slow to respond to the initial HTTP request. Eager for pointers about what other strategies I should try to (a) understand what's wrong and (b) fix what's wrong.
Monitoring the home page for the last week from an external service shows average response of just over 3 seconds, and repeated spikes of up to 7-8 seconds. This is for first response, not measuring full page load. (None of the pages are super heavy: once the server responds, the page pops in.)
See graph for Thursday Jan 28 2010 here. Top graph is the WP blog. Bottom graph is a flat file site running on the same hosting service, for comparison.

Suggestion: "Select all posts" for bulk actions/edit
WordPress currently applies bulk actions and edits only to posts shown on the posts screen at a given time. If a site has more than a few hundred posts, it's not really feasible to display them all on the current posts screen – load speeds go down like crazy even on dedicated hardware.
So what happens if a content manager wants to delete all their posts or move them to the trash? (This is my use case I've found myself running into on multiple projects, though there may be others.) They can:
- Tell WordPress to show them many posts at a time (100-500?) , then try to delete them. But the delete command is sent in the URL string, so you had better not delete so many that the web server rejects a string for being too long.
- Page endlessly through a smaller amount of posts and delete them. Which is less likely to generate errors, but still takes a ton of repetitive human action time for a scriptable task.
- Install a plugin to remove posts. But only if they have the ability and permissions to do so. (This is a problem on, say, WordPress.com or other environments where the user isn't an administrator.)
- Circumvent WordPress and drop posts from the database. Nice and fast, but (a) not everyone has DB access and (b) hacking on core tables is dangerous business.
I think Gmail has a quite elegant solution for bulk actions in their table of messages. "Select all" defaults to just selecting all emails onscreen, but additionally shows this option to select every post in the system. (If the user chooses to do so, they receive this confirmation.)
Could WordPress add something similar to the core with bulk edits or actions? I can think of several upsides:
- Reduction of load and amount of queries to display many pages worth of posts then perform many DB updates to modify them (all with additional request time and browser load to display many posts)
- Ability to mass manage content without the need for plugins
- Reduction of information that needs to be passed between client, web server, PHP, MySQL
- Doesn't tempt me to just drop rows manually in MySQL
In thinking of this issue, I can already see a few challenges that others might be better off to address:
- Scalability. I want to just do a bulk action on ~1,500 posts at a time, but what about a site that has far more posts and wants to use the same functions? (Personally, I think the current way sucks just as much for both, so a reasonable way to handle large requests would be an improvement regardless.
- Resource demand. The current way defaults to 20 posts per page and keeps most requests nice and short. Depending on how it's implemented, might it require a long-executing PHP process with lots of memory needs? I think this would be far more likely with a bulk edit like adding or deleting categories.
What say ye? To me this kind of content management task, while not an everyday one, is best solved in core, since not all content managers have access to plugin alternatives.

Location based systems can be grouped to four categories
Various ways accuracy improvement techniques:
1. Smoothing - Damp out errors and improves accuracy
Another error reducing technique is to constrain coordinate

OK, good questions ...
First, I suppose you could say we "started as swingers" if accepting an open relationship and putting up an online ad (or meeting people when I go out) counts as that. I think it was more kind of generically being "open" although not talking about it in detail ... even before being officially open we've always agreed that having sex with someone else wasn't a sin or something to split up over.
As for me, I always knew I wanted a real friend, not just swinging ...
My wife does not want to swing anymore... she said the sex was good but she doesn't want to do it anymore. I don't know if this is her final decision since she was really enthusiastic about it before and has talked about this for a couple years. She thinks swinging would hurt me or our relationship. She also thinks its not possible to have another person in your life without getting attached and eventually going to that person. That's why I thought maybe suggesting to her (in a couple months) that we try it together (go to a club) so she'll be more comfortable ...
Yes, I totally shared TMI with her and now she doesn't want to know about it at all. Would prefer I didn't do it. And I suspect has not been forthcoming with me (in the past, she implied she had tried something before we were officially open). That's why I don't want to check in with her ... maybe in a couple months I'll feel more comfortable. She's still comfortable with me going out with my friends so knows something could happen ...
As for craving emotional intimacy in my relationship with my wife, yes that had become an issue but is better now since we are taking time to spend quality time together. (Used to be she was often off working on art, I was hanging out with friends, she said she didn't need to spend more time with me, and we used fight about something as mundane as housework as she is much neater than me ... we were developing bad habits ... lately we take time to schedule dates or just hang out.)

Angels shut down Indians
Jered Weaver tossed a complete-game shutout Wednesday, as the LA Angels defeated the Cleveland Indians 3-0 at Progressive Field.
LA won the game as -140 favorites, while the three runs went UNDER the posted over/under (10.5).
Howie Kendrick led the way with two RBIs for the Angels. Weaver improved to 13-4 with the win.
Jeremy Sowers gave up three runs over 6 2-3 innings in the loss for the Indians.
