My puppy Charlie learning to Sit, Shake and Lay Down. He's only 2 1/2 months old!
The IRS had to make a public apology after spending $60,000 on this horrible Star Trek themed training video.
This little ditty is so bad, in fact, that the IRS was actually compelled to apologize for it on Friday, after catching some flak about the waste of money from Congress. Somewhere in the shadows, this clip has a GIlligan's Island-themed twin, but this one accounted for most of the budget and—apparently—most of the awfulness.
The IRS offered its apologies this way in a statement:
The IRS recognizes and takes seriously our obligation to be good stewards of government resources and taxpayer dollars. There is no mistaking that this video did not reflect the best stewardship of resources.

Watch a 1963 video of British soldiers conducting a military exercise after dropping acid
Back during the Cold War, the military wanted to find out if LSD could be used to incapacitate enemy forces. So they administered the drug to unsuspecting British soldiers, and sent the squaddies off to perform their duties. This short video, which is as hilarious as it is disturbing, chronicles the British soldiers' hapless attempt to complete a military exercise while completely tripping balls.
The British weren't the only country to conduct such experiments. Back during the 1950s, the U.S. Army conducted experiments with soldier volunteers at its Edgewood, MD arsenal. These experiments lasted until 1972, in which soldiers were given synthetic marijuana, LSD and two dozen other psychoactive drugs — all with the intent of developing chemical weapons to debilitate enemy soldiers.
Wonder how many of these soliders went on to become hippies.

When cosmonauts and astronauts now return from a long-duration space mission on board the International Space Station, they are always coming home on a Soyuz capsule, landing in northern Kazakhstan. The Kazakh Steppe is known for its bitter winters (I just checked the local weather in Ayagoz, Kazakhstan and there is currently a blizzard going on with heavy snow, high winds and a current temperature of -26 C [-15 F] )
When a Soyuz lands, it usually takes at least an hour for the rescue team to arrive. But a blizzard or other unforeseen problems could leave the crew stranded for longer periods of time. So, cosmonauts and astronauts undergo special survival training, just in case. Here are some images from the latest crew to undergo the training, featuring cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyeva, ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Samantha Cristoforetti. Remember that complicating any return from long-duration space flight is the weakness the space travelers will experience after six months in weightlessness.
In addition to the technical knowledge related to the landing capsule, the cosmonauts/astronauts need to practice practical skills like constructing a shelter and building a fire. They have a special emergency kit in the Soyuz which includes weapons, lights, water (6 liters for three people), dried food, first aid kit, tools and equipment that may be useful in extreme conditions, and clothing such as a heat suit, woolen cap, headset, gloves, socks and fur socks.
The Cosmonaut Training Center website says that "to successfully complete the test (training), crews have to show courage, self-discipline, perseverance, and patience." Don't worry -Samantha Cristoferri said on Google+ that the can near the fire is water, not gasoline!

Field Training
During the summer between their sophomore and junior years, cadets attend field training, a 22-day program at Maxwell AFB, AL. It is intended to give cadets an opportunity to be tested on their leadership skills and ability to work within a team. Some aspects of the program include physical training, weapons familiarization, survival training, and drill and ceremonies. Completing field training is a prerequisite for entry into the Professional Officer Course, and the ranking that a cadet receives at field training is one of the factors that influences their consideration for the Air Force job of their choice.
Field training is currently undergoing a number of changes in parallel with other Air Force training operations, the goal being to better prepare personnel for the changing missions of the Air Force with its involvement in the fighagainst terrorism. Nine days of the cadet's time at field training will be spent in the dormitories, while the remainder is actual fieldwork involving simulated combat operations.
Cadets completing their second year in the AFROTC program are not guaranteed acceptance to field training. The commander of each detachment will review the records of those cadets who are eligible to attend field training and select those whom he deems fully prepared. These names are then submitted to headquarters, which will make the final decision and issue assignments. Six separate sessions of field training are offered, at different times throughout the summer, in order to accommodate the different class schedules of the universities involved. It is possible for cadets to request a certain session if a major event makes it necessary for them to do so, but the final assignment is entirely at the discretion of AFROTC and is not required to take their wishes into account.
At field training, cadets are divided into flights, with each flight generally containing somewhere between twenty-five and thirty cadets. The position of flight commander rotates at intervals between cadets in the flight, and the flight is supervised by a Flight Training Officer (FTO), an officer selected from a pool of detachment cadre members, and a Cadet Training Assistant (CTA), a senior cadet who volunteered to return to field training as a supervisor. Each cadet is required to hold at least one leadership position during the program; those available include group and squadron commanders, drill and ceremonies officers, physical fitness officers, and education officers.

I saw these on Glamour's website and wanted to share them. A lot of these are more daring than I think most brides would want to be, but they're beautiful nonetheless.
(My personal favorite of the group ^)
I especially love these because they're not straight white. I'm not a big fan of white-white wedding dresses.

In association with
MV Agusta's all-new 675 Brutale spied
By Andy Downes -
New bikes
01 September 2011 12:06
MV Agusta's all-new 675cc Brutale has been spied testing for the first time. The bike is a naked version of MV's F3 675cc inline triple sportsbike, and will rival Triumph's big-selling Street Triple R.
Bosses at the iconic Italian firm have also revealed they are planning an 800cc inline three-cylinder version of the Brutale, an 800cc sportsbike, a 675 road-going super-motard and even a sports tourer further into the future too.
The new Brutale was spotted on a small country road less than two miles from the factory in Varese, Italy as it was undergoing road endurance testing. Its 675cc three-cylinder motor will produce between 115bhp and 120bhp (MV are still deciding the final tune of the production bike) and it will be on sale in 2012 with an estimated price tag of around £7800. If sales of Triumph's 675 Street Triple are anything to go by, the new Brutale could be the biggest-selling MV of all time.
MV boss Giovanni Castiglioni has already told MCN the firm aims to sell the bike for £7800 (€9000), which is only £500 more than the less powerful and lower-specification Triumph Street Triple R.
The bike will share the same engine layout as the F3 sportsbike, but will have different camshafts, valves and ignition, and is capable of producing 120bhp at 13,000rpm and 57lb ft of torque, say MV. The engine will share the cases, gearbox, counterbalance shaft, crankshaft and conrods with its faired stablemate.

MV3 Triumph Killer?

Unfortunately MV ,along with alot of other Italian makes ,don't fair that well in the reliability/maintenance stakes. Aprilia are closing the gap, but these things stop me from buying Italian . The only bike I'd buy outside Japan would be British or German . Triumph have a sensible RW aproach to the way they build their bikes ,whilst somehow making them unique . The MV will not threaten the Trumpy . MV's reputation is in tatters and this bike will not bridge the gap

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
@Matt: First of all, they already have battle chests that reduce the cost aspect substantially. Secondly, the WotLK DVD (so assumably the Cataclysm one as well) does a one disc install! Seriously! They should have made this more clear, yes, but you can install everything you need minus patches from the single DVD.

This conversation is closed.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
According to the science nerds the sun is now 206,000 miles further from Earth than they told us before. Maybe some brainiac TEDster can explain why this is not a good time for all-out panic?
Closing Statement from edward long
Mostly tongue-in-cheek-- but based on an actual fact announced by scientists-- the 13 commenters seem well below the all-out-panic level on this issue of astronomical importance. It looks like the old adage that if Science says it it must be true is, yet again, borne-out. So, along with the Factorial of 1 being 1(1 X 0=1?) we can add the "scientific fact" that the distance between the Sun and the Earth is constant even though the Earth's orbit is not circular. Wait, what?--Edward Long
Sep 25 2012: why do people believe everything they see on TV and read in Newspaper?
if you do, what stops from you using Virgin Galaxy or try to hitch hike maybe some aliens will give you lift.
We don't know how to live with each other in harmony on earth, we worried about what's happening in universe.
Sep 25 2012: So you're saying the sun is not "officially" closer to Earth (by .206 million miles!) than it was before? Would I be more gullible to believe you, or to believe the dedicated scientists at NASA? I tell you Edwin the sky is falling! Do you know anyone at Virgin Galaxy, or how to get a lift from aliens?
Sep 26 2012: Sir,
you don't have to believe me, because I haven't got PhD in Science Fiction, neither I know who is right or wrong here. I just let the Nature do its business, (we can't stop the rain). if we believe that our Planet has started at some point then we also have to accept the fact that it will end one day too., we know that everything has start and end. so are the lows of Nature, (, day starts and ends, night starts and ends, Summer starts and ends etc)
"I tell you Edwin the sky is falling!" - Where exactly, sir? in the north or south, west or east?
How exactly is it going to fall, piece by piece or whole?
Sun is closer to Earth, - which side of Sun is exactly going to kiss to which side of Earth? Is there any exact point?
PS: I haven't shaken Sir, Richard Branson's hand, when I do, I will let you know who I know from Virgin Galaxy
Thank you
Sep 26 2012: Most excellent advice, sir! I never believe someone simply because they have a PhD. OK, maybe you're right, maybe the sky isn't falling. But, Edwin, can we trust anything Science tells us now that the sun is no longer 93-million miles from Earth? Thank you for your reassuring comments. (Do they really give PhD's in Science Fiction)?
Sep 26 2012: Mr Long,
let's say that sun is getting closer and we are fighting against Global Warming. How we do that?
(in Europe) they though that all these fabric produce a lot of CO2, (and God knows what) and this cause Global Warming, - They closed all the manufacturing companies (causing high unemployment) and moved to developing countries, the same company produce the same gas other side of the world, (not in Europe) - I call this "Smart Move" - when it comes to Nature what is the different whether it is in A or in B, we still use GLOBAL word with Warming
Let's say that because of this Sun-coming-closer is causing this Global warming,
We have suffered Global Freezing, the Ice Age, when Europe and North America with Russia were frozen. I wonder what these Scientists were saying, - that Sun is gone far?
Evolution may happen or not?
or maybe because of some many earthquakes and tsunamis our planet is moved, (they don't want us to panic) they say it is the sun that moves. Who knows (the truth)?
I haven't been in Science Fiction University, sir, but they may have one.

Sep 26 2012: Hi Edward.
This is indeed panic-worthy news. There also seems to be some disagreement as to whether the sun is getting bigger, smaller, or staying as-is. Hopefully this 206,000 miles has not come off the radius; thereby increasing the distance; or we're in panic overload. We're safe in the UK, we don't get Fox, & Auntie Beeb would never expose us to such negative propaganda.
edward long 100+Sep 26 2012: You're not helping Peter! Now you tell me the Sun just LOOKS further away because it is shrinking? Now there is something more to panic about. Thanks for the very informative article. Maybe the sense I get from Science that we understand just about everything about the Universe is causing this urge to panic. Maybe Pearl S. Buck had it right when she wrote: QUOTE "Science and religion, religion and science, put it as I may, they are two sides of the same glass, through which we see darkly until these two, focusing together, reveal the truth."-- A Bridge for Passing, 1962
Sep 26 2012: Yes often feel moronic when use incompatible words. So sun is further away than before ? Maybe makes it too expensive to send probes/shuttles over to explore. Maybe it affects calculations about using sun's gravitational pull to sling shot space craft out of solar system (guess who watched too much Star Trek without the appropriate education to understand whether ideas possible). Referencing Star Trek movie where crew time-travelled by orbiting sun to return to C21st and collect some whales to answer alien probe in future looking to communicate with whales as first species. Humans and planet in danger because all whales extinct long ago due to human 'superiority'. Still don't understand why whalemeat seen as delicacy. Thinking of old lore i.e. eat the animal to ingest some of it's characteristics. Love poets for ideas and fiction for same. Television has a lot to answer for because as you said, a picture is worth a thousand words but television notorious for distortions. So all out panic because of something like sun's life-span. Was thought it would expand as it ages. If average figure now shows further away is sun possibly shrinking, hence panic ? Someone else was posting that new figures just an international effort at averaging out but missed the point you were trying to make. Having a conversation on another thread about human's desperate efforts to know and quantify and control. So your point is just enjoy the wonder of it all ? What do you think about Carl Jung ? Any relevance to this debate? Still keep thinking Chicken Litle story, someone noticed chickens bodies still move after head removed. Wobbly Earth orbit due to oceanic movements due to influence of moon ? So you focusing on ?
Sep 26 2012: The last time I flung myself into an all-out panic was when I realized there is no, one, individual, actual, Santa Claus (I still don't like to talk about it). Anyway, my focus on this issue of the Sun departing from our solar system is similar to that dark day in 1953, namely, who can I believe? I was never taught in Science that the Sun MIGHT BE 93-million miles away. My science teachers never spoke in terms of possibility. Everything was presented as "fact". Does Science deliberately downplay the tentative nature of their discoveries in order to create an illusion of trustworthiness. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame Science for the whole Santa Claus debacle. About Jung, he said the same set of myths and beliefs circulated from civilization to civilization. The distance between Earth and the Sun is not, at least I didn't think it was, a myth. Thanks for your many suggestions.
Sep 26 2012: I'm not panicing. Heck, I'm ecstatic about it. If it's 206,000 miles farther away now, I can turn down my air conditioning and reduce my utility bill.
Wait....once the utility companies understand this, they will start a conspiracy to raise our utility bills to compensate for the lost revenues!
I propose we organize right now and do a pre-emptive strike against the utility companies before that happens!
(PS - Nice topic, Edwin. We all need a little tongue-in-cheek conversations around here to relieve the tension once in a while) ;-)
Sep 26 2012: You see it don't you, Mr. Ryan? There are multiple reasons to panic. Have you ever engaged the utility company in direct confrontation? Science had better step-up and clarify what is behind this whole orbital radius issue before rioting begins against power companies around the world. My name is Edward. Thank you!
Sep 25 2012: All-out panic is exhausting. Focused panic is highly effective at times. Ultimately if we all get fried by some massive solar radiation burst maybe it would be a good thing. Maybe a little light irradiation is good for evolution. What is reassuring about a measurement, except the idea that somehow by framing the distance with numbers, it becomes contained and manageable and knowable.
Sep 25 2012: I am only good for about 3-minutes of all-out panic. Now I'm settling into a number-crunching mode. It's all about averaging maximum and minimum distances resulting from the slight eccentricity (thank you Isaac) in our orbit. I may return to panic mode when I am refreshed because the average number before was 92.750 million miles. The science wizards now say the number is 92.956. Alas, I find solace in poetry: "Sweet is the lore which Nature brings; Our meddling intellect mis-shapes the beauteous form of things:-- we murder to dissect.-- William Wordsworth, The Tables "Turned," 1798.
EDIT-- Isn't "focused panic" an oxymoron?
Sep 25 2012: Ed... I think you are right... a good percent of the population will read that note and believe that there was a sudden jump that shortened that distance between the earth and the sun (and i wouldn't be surprised if they actually believe that it was the sun the one that jumped closer to the earth and not the other way around)
i was greatly impressed to see there is a whole area dedicated to science in foxnews!

I would guess a 0.22% "error" (it's actually a redefinition) is nothing to worry about, especially seeing as the Earth's distance to the sun fluctuates by 5% throughout the year without people noticing.

Well, to be honest I don't really mind as long as I am tanking. Although from time to time some change of scenery might be good, and that's when I switch between off- and main-tank.
On the other hand, it's usually the main tank that gets most of the glory when the boss dies so that makes me want to be the main-tank since everybody will go "awesome job dude" and similar (even better when it gets messy and you have to push yourself to the limit).
But on the other hand, being a off-tank and having to take over for a dead main-tank is twice as awesome as being the main-tank. :D
... People actually comment the MT doing a good job when a boss dies?
I've been MT'ing since March this year in ICC25 and I've yet to see us target anyone in particular for commendations, except maybe going "wtf!" when someone does a new recount highscore...
I honestly would prefer OTing instead of MTing as I think its more relaxing. When I first started MTing i felt so much pressure on my shoulders since any mistakes I did could cause a wipe. Eventually I learned to live with it...

Custom wood window shutters enhance any window to provide functional light control.
Horizon interior shutters are available in paint and stain finishes to match any window.
Horizon indoor shutters are constructed from premium quality solid basswood.
Wooden traditional shutters use narrow louvers for intimate home decor.
Interior plantation shutters use wide louvers for maximum light and visibility.
Window Shutters:
Start Here By
Selecting Window
Shutters That Best
Fit Your Style.
Traditional Shutters
Interior traditional shutters are 3/4 inch thick with 1-1/4 inch wide wedge-shaped louvers.
Interior Shutters
Horizon window shutters reside in over 10,000 homes across America. We craft beautiful furniture-quality solid wood interior shutters. Every custom shutter unit is built to the 1/16 inch for each individual window opening, while remaining competitively priced to fit your budget.
Horizon window shutters are built with the intention to become a timeless addition to your home. All components are cut from solid lengths of hand-selected basswood, a kiln-dried northern hardwood. Joints are glued and doweled for strength and longevity, and side stiles are mortised for hinges and rabbeted between panels to reduce light gaps. Louvers are precision tensioned to remain in the desired position for decades of service.
Our simplified measuring and ordering instructions for interior shutters are designed and written for the American homeowner. We offer several different installation methods and assist you in selecting the best option that is right for your window. We calculate all deductions and allowances for optimum fit, so all you provide are tight inside window dimensions. Production requires about six weeks for most orders. Completed orders are shipped from our factory in California direct to your home accompanied with complete installation instructions, ready-to-install.
Most homeowners interact daily with their indoor shutters. Louvers rotate open or closed to regulate daylight and privacy, and panels swing open on hinges to allow full access to the window.
Paint and stain finishes protect wood window shutters from intense sunlight as well as enhance their natural allure. Select from thirteen white and off-white standard paint colors or nine standard stains. Provide a custom color if one of the standard colors does not match your requirements.
Prices for Horizon traditional and plantation shutters are easily accessible. Navigate to our pricing shutters page, enter basic window specifications, click calculate, and instantly a quote is given.
Every member of our staff has logged hundreds of hours measuring, building, finishing, and installing window shutters - and we use this expertise to answer all questions you may have about our shutters. Please feel free to reach us by phone, fax, e-mail or visit our contact page to submit a question.
I received my plantation shutters last night and am very pleased. This is the second set of shutters I have purchased in the last three years. The product quality, appearance, finish and ease of install are amazing and truly impressive for the money spent. The packing of the final product was also amazing, and the attention to detail and care put into the shipping was impressive!

Water Footprint Chart »
Good Magazine posts this nice-looking infographic showing the cost, in gallons of water, of various foods and activities. It would have been nice if they had compared a hamburger to a veggie burger instead of a boring-looking salad, and compared beef to tofu or seitan instead of to chicken. And what about the cost of a bottle of water, shipped from, say, Fiji?
Framed this way, I don't know if these are hard truths hitting home so much as gently rapping. But more of this kind of thing in the national consciousness certainly can't hurt.

Find & share great dishes, not just restaurants.
Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
Soup with thinly sliced rice cake with egg, beef, and noodles. Typical dish for Korean New Year. Alternate spelling: Tteokguk (떡국)
Classic grilled cheese sandwich from Valley Shepherd Creamery at Reading Terminal Market. Valley shepherd Tewksbury, valley thunder, melter skelter. I can't wait to taste their fresh mozzarella (made fresh twice each day at the Market)
Not something you would see in your neighborhood Chinese take out. The fish was quite fresh as it came from the market next door. And Chinese okra-- YES, PLEASE! All for $5.75! Yeah, the location isn't that appealing (subterranean supermarket on Race St in Chinatown), HOWEVER, the quality of the food is undeniably a great value! It also helps that the Philadelphia Inquirer's food critic gave it a positive review. http://www.philly.com/philly/restaurants/20120624_Craig_LaBan_review__Tasty_Place_in_Chinatown.html
A pueblo style omelette from the coast of Venezuela made with fresh fish, potatoes, plantains, cilantro and two fried crispy arepita filled with shredded cheddar cheese and a side of green salad.
NY strip steak, baby arugula, cannellini beans, balsamic vinegar reduction
Double-fried (ie extra crispy), brushed with soy garlic sauce.
Uncooked San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, torn basil, extra virgin olive oil. Pizzas are personal size; approximately 12" diameter. ($12)
Creamy mozzarella served with oven roasted Brussels sprouts, pancetta, currants, and pine nuts. Topped with pangrattato.
Stem was just the right level of crunch while the top leaves where wilted perfectly. Served In a light oil.

It was the basic, non HD one, but it was brand new (so I guess second generation). I found an article about putting Go Launcher on it but everything I've tried has failed. I've also tried other launchers to no help. Is this a loophole that Amazon fixed in the second generation or am I just dumb? Or is there any other launcher that works on the new kindles? My wife probably doesn't want me rooting her new Christmas present either (not that I would feel that comfortable doing that anyway). Thanks for the help.

Wenn ich dann die Bluetooth Tastatur verbinde ist sie allerdings immer noch auf Englisch eingestellt.

Ich habe die Software schon mehrmals deinstalliert, wieder installiert, alle Cache's gelöscht ....

A good cover is one that is more than just protecting your Kindle against wear & tear. What about one that allows you to read without distracting your partner late into the evening?

Written by Tom Jacobs, Photography by Bill Romerhaus
Hale'iwa is a place in time. Situated on O'ahu's North Shore, visitors to this picturesque 100 year-old plantation town are almost always struck by the charm of its comfortable storefront buildings, the easy-going pace of its residents, and the town's friendly aloha spirit.
This book captures that spirit. It traces Hale'iwa from the time of its thatched-hut roots of the original Polynesian settlers, through the years of the Hawaiian Kingdom, into the fields of Waialua Sugar Plantation, into the elegant drawing rooms of the Hale'iwa Hotel, right up to the emergence of Hale'iwa town's place as today's surfing capital of Hawai'i – and quite arguably, the world's "surf city" as the world's best surfers congregate on this sleepy town during the North Shore winter surf season each year.
This story is told with photos that are in some cases, one hundred years old. Alongside these historic photos, brilliant state-of-the art color photography brings present-day Hale'iwa and the North Shore of O'ahu to vibrant life. The authors have tried hard to capture the sight and feel of a town and an area that represents the "country" to the people of O'ahu. Hale'iwa is a town that is truly a "place in time".

Big Dunc To Join First-Team Staff
19/02/2014 by Daniel Alston
Everton Giant set to be part of Martinez's coaching unit.
Duncan Ferguson is to join the Everton first-team coaching set-up on a permanent basis.
The former Blues striker has been working with the Club's Under-18 side since returning in October 2011 as assistant to Kevin Sheedy.
From next Monday though, he is set to form part of Roberto Martinez's core backroom team alongside assistant manager Graeme Jones, first-team development coach Dennis Lawrence and goalkeeping coach Inaki Bergara.
As a player, Ferguson first joined Everton in 1994 and achieved cult-hero status with the fans as he scored 72 goals in 273 appearances for the Club across two spells.
He was announced as an Everton Giant in 2011 and since returning to Goodison has impressed everyone with his coaching talent, enthusiasm and dedication.

From my German heritage is born a need to 'go back' and just be there. The first time I went was a few years ago, and I've been yearning to go again ever since. As I look through my photographs, I am yearning once again. It feels like home; it just does.
http://mozartsgirl.blogspot.com/ has been there a multitude of times....I found it enchanting and wanted to stay far longer than we were able to. We had reservations that evening and had to press on.....but it shall be on my 'to do' list again.
|some of the shops in Salzburg.... including Gmundner, Steiff, Geiger, and Hummel
|I have many pieces from this collection....love the chunky feel of the creamy white pottery
|and cows....well, I just can't get enough cows....ever
|the train to Wengen, Switzerland. I cannot capture the beauty in a photograph
|a home with flower boxes everywhere. This I ADORE
|taking a cable car in Austria #scaredoutofmymind
|outdoor cafe's, lakes, flowers, mountains....the Jungfrau region
|the mountain in the background is where we took the cable car
|we 'rented' a dog in Wengen, Switzerland to take for a walk in the mouintains. All proceeds went to a children's cancer research fund....and we had a GREAT time owning a pet for a bit when we can't right now
|no trip complete with an excursion in Interlacken
|my reading material during the trip....LOVE!
|stocked pond near a private 'home' distillery of vodka and pine oil
The sun was bright, the air was warm but crisp. Some days required a jacket, but many did not.
I want to go back....and I have so many more photographs to share....of England and meeting wonderful friends I've made who are in my heart....
I feel now even closer to my heritage and understand more clearly from where I came....

Just Because You Can Do Something, Doesn't Mean You Should
When its time to update your Web presence, remember: Just because you can do something, doesnt mean you should! Do your best to take the users perspective to evaluate whether or not each bell and whistle is worth it. Users will reward you with their business if you look at your Website fromtheir perspective!
Ironically, the users experience is often the most overlooked component when building a Website. Because Website priority lists usually focus on products and services as you know them, the users experience is often overlooked. This is incredibly unfortunate and unbeneficial, because the user ultimately determines the quality and value of your Website-not you.
We have to begin thinking about everything on our Websites from the users perspective. Yes, sites must look attractive to the market, but for most Internet users, function is more important than form. Users judge your site primarily based on its ability to help them solve their problems. Make sure that visitors can find what theyre looking for quickly and easily. Make sure that all links and content are relevant and helpful to your market. If theyre not, they need to go. Eliminate unnecessary links and content. Distill all pages, especially the home page, down to
their essence.
When thinking about the users experience, keep one thing in mind: Just because something is available, doesnt mean you should use it. We always want to add the newest, glitziest Web features to our sites. We should, however, always take a step back and think about how the extra bells and whistles would actually benefit our users. If a new feature doesnt benefit the user, it doesnt belong on the Website-no matter how cool we think it looks! New features that increase your sites load time for example, can mean the difference between a new life-long customer and a lost could have been customer.
The more elements you display, the longer it takes for your Website to load on a users computer. A normal suggested load time is 2.9 seconds. When a load time exceeds this optimal target time (well say three seconds), tenths of seconds can make or break your Websites effectiveness. There is nothing more frustrating to a user than waiting for a site to load. When your site takes longer to load than users expect, your abandonment rate skyrockets. Abandonment equals lost opportunities to create loyal relationships.
Your Website is for your visitors, not for you. Design it for them and youll:
1) Get more visitors
2) Increase lead generation
3) Increase sales
If car buyers cant find what they want quickly and easily, they will leave your site and go straight to your competitors.

How should we proceed?
Most recent 'root comment' first (conversation threads in descending order):
How about starting by enumerating the properties of the most popular existing sites, then seeing what kind of class hierarchy "falls out"? This gets us moving (embrace and extend!), and maximizes usability, as people, when migrating their profiles, can just choose the "view" with which they are most comfortable (FOAFster, FOAFLinkedIn, FOAFTribe, etc. -- all of which could be sub-classes of "Core FOAFster"). -- Frank Ruscica
For the moment I'll copy over my e-mail to rdfweb-dev; when I get some time, I can break things down a bit. -- Nick Knouf
Just for starters, let's think about the properties that you can enter on a site like Friendster (and it'll be no secret that I'm talking about my own profile, but that's not pertinent to the thread :-) ).
Friendster offers free-text input of favorite music, movies, books, and TV shows. Separate items are delineated with commas and form clickable search terms to find others with the same interest. This seems to be a perfect place to include some of the ideas of the Charette Relationship Set (CRS) [1], which can describe things that one has or wants, hobbies, and stuff that you're interested in. There should be some tie-in with other media-specific schemas (and I'm not saying this is what should be used, but stuff like the MusicBrainz Metadata Initiative [2] for music could be used).
Okay, there's a whole range of work to be done with the media-specific schemas, but let's move on to more superficial things :-)
Physical attributes like hair color, complexion, and the like probably best come from governmental work like Stephen is looking at. I'm not sure of previous efforts to formalize definitions of someone's height, weight, etc.; with those properties, however, we need a good way to describe the units. Someone looking for information on me would want to know if my weight of "150" was in pounds or kilos ;-) I asked about this on www-rdf-interest in December [3] and was referred to some work done at JPL [4] to describe the units in a very elegant way. Making this work in practice and making the ontology validate as DL is somewhat more difficult, but I'm sure it can be worked out.
Geographic information can probably come from existing ontologies (which others on this list have much more experience than me).
What doesn't seem to be out there is good semantic definitions of "Interested in meeting people for" (e.g., dating, serious relationship, activity partners, etc.), "Who I want to meet", and so on. That's probably the crux of the problem. This is going to run into all sorts of cultural, religious, and geographic concerns as well; not that it means we shouldn't try it, but it's something to keep in mind.
I do believe that this is a case where pulling terms from a large number of ontologies and namespaces is going to be useful and perhaps necessary. Describing a dating service is basically an attempt to fully describe a human being, much beyond what FOAF does (and I think because of that most of these additions or samplings should not be rolled into the FOAF namespace). I'm afraid that using a single namespace is going to make this blossom into something like SUMO [5]; I think SUMO is very interesting, it's just not what we're looking for (in my view).
We ought to be realistic here: after thousands of years of the written word, no-one has come up with the _ideal_ way of describing someone. Everything we do will only be an approximation. Of course, we should try and make it a damn good one :-)

Tender were her hands,
the ones that put me to sleep each night.
Tender were her arms,
that protected me from fright.
Tender was her heart,
that always cared for me,
whenever each day was done.
Tender was the love she gave to me,
her precious little son.
Tender was her wisdom,
that guided me through and through.
She taught me how to become a man,
sincere, humble, and true.
Tender is her memory,
that comes to me each day.
My heart is sad and lonely,
since she's gone away.
Tender, it is a word that is used by many a man,
But to give it true meaning, it seems no one can.
To me this word is a deep feeling,
I can use no other. For how can anyone decsribe,
a dear departed Mother.

90 Years of Oil and Gas Devastation LMOGA Meeting
90 Years of Wetland Destruction
(New Orleans) ExxonMobil Baton Rouge the nations second largest refinery has failed to inspect over 1,000 pipes and has hundreds of others that are ruptured and corroded. The problems are detailed in the complete Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspection released today at the Louisiana Mid Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA) meeting. Ninety years of oil and gas in Louisiana has not brought the prosperity that the industry has promised, said Anne Rolfes, Founding Director of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade (LABB). This inspection of Exxon is a perfect example of the oil industry in Louisiana: they operate on the cheap, they dont invest in their infrastructure so that they can maximize profits. Meanwhile Louisiana bears the brunt of their abuse: pollution and the destruction of our coast. Steven Blume, the disgraced former manager of the Exxon refinery, is a LMOGA board member.
The groups are calling for enforcement of laws and for the oil industry to hire more people to solve its problems. The bad news is that the oil industry in Louisiana is a catastrophe, with too few workers and rusting infrastructure. The good news is that solving its problems means hiring more workers and investing in equipment, actions that would help Louisianas economy and protect our health and our environment, said Ms. Rolfes.
The EPA-approved "bucket" is a simple, community friendly tool that fenceline neighbors use to take air samples.

Brownies to Juniors - Fly Up
The information you need can be found in the Brownie Girl Scout Handbook Chapter 6: Becoming a Junior Girl Scout.
1 World Trefoil Pin (if not already earned)
2. Girl Scout Membership Pin (Typically pinned upside down after bridging. Girl will turn right side up once she has "Done a Good Turn".)
3. One-year membership star (Earned for current year in Girl Scouts. Girls should have one membership star for each year they are a Girl Scout. Brownies earn a Green Disc to wear behind their stars. Once they are Juniors they will earn a Yellow Disc.)
4. Every girl earns her Brownie Wings at the end of her Brownie Girl Scout years to wear on her Junior uniform.
5. Girls may choose to earn their Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts Rainbow.
6. New Uniform including Identification Strips, Troop Numerals and Insignia Tab.
Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts Rainbow - 6 Steps
At the end of third grade, Brownies complete a series of activities in preparation for leaving Brownie Girl Scouts behind and becoming a Junior Girl Scout. These activities are intended to introduce Brownies to the next level of Scouting.
Bridging to Junior Scouts is different than "flying up." All girls will receive a pair of wings signifying that they have flown up from Brownie Scouts to Junior Scouts. To "bridge," however, girls must complete six requirements, intended to introduce girls to the next level (and retain them!).
One good way to complete the activities is to find a sister troop at the Junior level to help your Brownies complete the requirements. Not only is their presence necessary for some of the steps, but the girls will get to meet some new friends.
The bridging steps can be easily incorporated into your regularly scheduled troop activities if you start early. Thinking Day (for example) is a natural activity in which Brownies and Juniors can intermingle and complete the requirements.
The six activities are as follows (Do ONE activity from each step):
1. Find out about Junior Girl Scouting.
* Ask a Junior Girl Scout or an adult who works with Junior Girl Scouts to tell you about Junior Girl Scouting.
* Find out about the awards (badges and signs) for Junior Girl Scouts by looking at a Junior Girl Scout sash, vest, catalog picture, or the Awards, Badges and Other Insignia section on Girl Scout central at www.girlscouts.org. Look through the Junior Girl Scout Handbook and Girl Scout Badges and Signs. Find out about the badges, the signs, and the leadership pin. Look for differences between Brownie and Junior Girl Scout activities.
* Take part in a special event put on by your community service unit, council, or a Junior Girl Scout troop for Brownie Girl Scouts bridging to the Junior Girl Scout level.
2. Do a Junior Girl Scout Activity
* Do an activity from the Junior Girl Scout Handbook or Junior Girl Scout Badgebook.
* Do an activity from a Junior Girl Scout Issues for Girl Scouts booklet, such as Connections, Read to Lead, Girls Are Great, or Media Know-How.
* Do a Junior Girl Scout online science or technology activity from the "Awards, Badges and Other Insignia" section on Girl Scout central at www.girlscouts.org
3. Do something with a Junior Girl Scout or a Junior Girl Scout troop or group.
* Attend a meeting or event as the guest of a Junior Girl Scout troop or group.
* Do a service project with Junior Girl Scouts.
* Write to a Junior Girl Scout pen-pal who lives in your area or another state.
4. Share what you learn about Junior Girl Scouting with Brownie or Daisy Girl Scouts.
* Make a poster or collage, or create a poster or flier on the computer, to show others what Junior Girl Scouts is all about.
* Put on a skit or special program about a service project or activity that you did with a Junior Girl Scout.
* Teach a song or game that you learned from a Junior Girl Scout.
5. Plan and do a summer Girl Scout activity
(If your Brownie Girl Scout troop or group has its bridging ceremony before summer, you can receive your Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts award before doing this activity. However, you should do the activity before your first Junior Girl Scout meeting in the fall.)
* Go to a Girl Scout day or resident (sleep away) camp.
* Plan and do an outdoor activity with other Girl Scouts and their families.
* Have a cookout, swim or skate party, campfire, or stargazing activity with other Girl Scouts.
* Participate in a GirlSports activity with other Girl Scouts.
* Plan a get-acquainted activity for fall for your new Junior Girl Scout troop buddies.
* Write a summer newsletter for your group.
* Do a summer project with other Girl Scouts.
6. Help Plan your fly-up Ceremony
* Learn a new opening or closing that you can use in your flying-up ceremony.
* Write a poem, song, or skit about going from Brownie to Junior Girl Scouts that you can use in your ceremony.
* Design and make invitations for the ceremony.
* Make decorations that you can use at the ceremony.
(Requirements taken from the Brownie Girl Scout Handbook (2000).)

CTP Greenslips NSW
Compulsory third party insurance, commonly known as CTP, is a statutory cover required when an owner registers a vehicle in Australia.
In New South Wales, CTP insurance is often referred to as a 'green slip'. The name was coined from the colour of the page that the form is printed on.
CTP insurance must be paid in order to get your vehicle registered. In NSW, customers have a choice of CTP provider. The 7 licensed insurers are AAMI, Allianz, CIC Allianz, GIO, NRMA, QBE and Zurich.
CTP in New South Wales is regulated by the MAA (Motor Accidents Authority).
What does CTP insurance cover?
If you, or a driver of your registered vehicle, are at fault of a motor vehicle accident, a NSW CTP green slip will compensate for death or injuries caused to other parties in the accident who file a personal injury claim. This coverage includes drivers, any passengers inside all vehicles involved in the accident, as well as pedestrians and/or cyclists.
In NSW, greenslip coverage also extends to compensate injuries caused through the use of a trailer.
Further improvements to the Green slip scheme were made in October 2006 in a bid to provide even greater protection in certain motor vehicle accidents, regardless of which driver was at fault. Further information can be found on the MAA website.
Can I get a better deal on CTP?
We have kindly been provided with a CTP Green slip calculator by the Motor Accidents Authority of New South Wales. Proceed to the online Green Slip Calculator® to see if you can get a better deal.

During review of a deep brain stimulator with an n'vision programmer, model 8840, the pt experienced severe rebound tremor which lasted approximately 5 minutes.
The pt appeared rigid, not responding verbally to command and unable to talk.
The tremor decreased in severity and the pt was able to relax.
There was no loss of consciousness, no pain experienced, no drowsiness, no focal seizures and once the rigidity improved the pt was able to speak with no apparent dysarthria or dysphasia.
Immediately after the incident the settings of the stimulator had altered to ov, pw 210 usec, rate 30hz.
Electrode settings were as normal.
The stimulator had been switched off and the battery was showing ok.
The programmer was later needed to check the pt's stimulator again and to reprogram it.
After reprogramming there was an immediate improvement in the pt's tremor.
The pt remained in the hosp for another hour iwth a relative after the changes were made to ensure the pt was safe to go home.
Previously in the same clinic the n'vision programmer had been used on three other outpatients, using the same routine, with no apparent problems.
A follow-up report will be sent when additional info is received.

This was on page 5 of the Cheaper than Dirt catalogue that came in the mail today:
Dear valued customer;
Due to world events, concerns over Iran, Avian Flu, and general global instability, ammunition is in short supply. Foreign and domestic suppliers have drastically increased prices and they cannot supply the quantity of ammunition necessary to meet consumer demand. Calibers that are ordinarily widely available have become uncommonly scarce. Currently, we do have .223 in stock, but even these supplies are nearly exhausted. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this unstable market.
Respectfully Yours, The Owners and Managers of Cheaper Than Dirt!"
Seems like I've heard rumors of a shortage (typically 7.62x39) over the past couple years, but I've never had any trouble picking up a 1000 rounds here and there at fairly reasonable prices, I've got a couple hundred thousand rounds stocked up.
Anyone here having problems getting ammo?

Lily's Luau
Cold day. Cool cause. Hot party!
The 6th annual Lily's Luau was held at Union South on Jan. 25, 2014.
About 700 guests donned Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts to enjoy incredible food, silent and live auctions, a raffle, music, and dancing. More than 50 generous sponsors and more than a hundred volunteers made it possible. $108,000 was raised that evening, with another $60,000+ pledged to kick off The Neuron Project! All money goes directly to epilepsy research at UW-Madison.
Check out the photos on our Facebook page and watch the remarkable video from Popamatic Studios below.
We are 100% volunteer run so we need your hands, heart and energy . Email us to get involved in Lily's Luau 2015.
