Printable Patriotic Games For Your Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day & Presidents' Day Celebrations
Don't forget to print out a few printable patriotic games for your Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and President's Day Celebration Parties. They are not very expensive so even if you don't end up using them this time, you will have unlimited printouts for 90 days which takes you way past Labor Day.
We love to have these games on hand just in case … just in case it rains, just in case the little kids (or the big kids) get antsy, just in case your party extends well into the evening after the sun goes down and the lawn games get put away. Printable games are also a perfect evening activity when camping since they are light weight and easy to transport. Consider printing on recycled paper. Additionally, if you are looking for classroom activities for a patriotic school party, these are both educational and fun.
All six of these printable patriotic games will keep your guests guessing and laughing plus you can personalize all of them.

Thanks SamirA, I'd like to blame the amount of time that I've spent on this claim being so long because it's in direct correlation with how much detail and personality I have put into it.
But that's just pretentious bullshit.

One will be around the Cathedral as might be expected, but there will be one near the shack-town/poor dock district as well for those poorer residents who couldn't afford better plots. This area will need some run down looking and simple headstones.

But I'm dropping this again, school has started again, and it's honestly twice as enjoyable as Anvil. God damn boring cities and their god damn crates and bottles.
I'm also leaving modding (finally) and I don't mean "I'm going to solo it on Solstheim" because I finish that crap.

Guest Commentary
Over the past weeks, we all watched in sadness as wildfires in Colorado's Black Forest raged out of control, destroying more than 500 homes and displacing nearly 40,000 people. As first responders battled the fires, critical tools that could have assisted them on the front lines — unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) — largely sat idle because of government regulations.
Unmanned aircraft could make firefighters' jobs both easier and safer, providing them with situational awareness by flying through smoke and at night, situations too dangerous for piloted aircraft. UAS can see through smoke to identify hotspots, help forecasters predict the weather, drop fire retardants and alert authorities to people and property in harm's way.
In spite of these obvious benefits, before a firefighter is allowed to deploy a UAS, they must first get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. When fires are burning and spreading by the minute, this process often makes it difficult, if not impossible, to get timely approval to fly.

A fully dedicated environment for mission-critical data and applications
Cloud services have been widely adopted, yet many organizations are still concerned about protecting highly sensitive data and personally identifiable information in the cloud. This is especially true when it comes to regulatory compliance, with strict rules around how customer data records can be accessed and stored.
Organizations also want more control over the cloud resources that deliver their data and applications, and less worry about vying for those same network and computing resources with other customers. A "noisy neighbor" in a multi-tenant environment who is hit by a surge in transaction volumes can severely impact performance for other tenants.
Our Managed Cloud – Hosted Private Cloud (HPC) solution combines the scalability and agility of a cloud infrastructure with the security, control and performance advantages of a fully dedicated environment, powered by VMware technology to help:
Secure your data. Fully dedicated compute, storage and network resources in an isolated environment helps meet the data protection, privacy and regulatory compliance requirements of applications and data residing in a hosted private cloud.
Increase control. Get more control over how, where and when cloud resources are provisioned and consumed to meet specific workload and application needs.
Count on performance. A single-tenant cloud delivers more predictable performance because there is no need to compete with other tenants for cloud resources. Subscription-based pricing makes costs more predictable, too.
Gain peace of mind. Our commitment to you is to provide you with a secure Hosted Private Cloud service. When you work with Sungard AS, that commitment extends even further, because our private cloud solution can also be integrated with our award-winning cloud-based recovery offerings to create a fully recoverable production environment for your applications and data.
Our consulting teams can help you plan and implement a multi-cloud strategy that aligns with the needs of your business. We assess your workloads and applications, identify which are cloud-ready, then recommend the cloud environment best suited for each.
We have a range of solutions to meet your individual cloud needs. In addition to our Hosted Private Cloud offering, you can take advantage of our public cloud solution, Managed Cloud – Amazon Web Services (AWS), and migrate between various clouds with ease.
Why Sungard AS?
Why Sungard AS for hosted private cloud?
Our Hosted Private Cloud solution is just one way Sungard AS delivers fully recoverable production services. Choosing us as your cloud provider means you can integrate your production environment with our cloud-based recovery solutions. So, if disaster occurs, you can fully recover your data and applications to get back to business fast.
Our private cloud solution is also fully managed to the application layer, and by certified VMware experts who know how to optimize your solution to deliver the best results.
You can also take advantage of our migration, design and architectural offerings to streamline service delivery to your organization. Further, we can help you manage a hybrid mix of traditional systems and newer, more agile technologies, so you can let the needs of your applications and data drive your infrastructure decisions.

For a number of (really good) reasons, I've not been able to spend much time following the endless, ever-forthcoming details about the US government's decision to vacuum up as much of our communication data as possible.
Even from such a less-than-ideal base of knowledge, and even though it will take months or years for everything to come out (if ever), I already believe the following:
What Edward Snowden did is one of the most heroic, medal-worthy acts by an American so far this century. I say this even though I'm also horrified that somebody with his scant qualifications was in such a position.
No mountain of prestigious journalistic prizes can repay the debt owed to the Guardian and Glenn Greenwald by the citizens of this country.
President Obama should immediately grant Snowden a full presidential pardon — and, further, give Snowden his own (prematurely given and, as is now clear, unearned) Nobel Peace Prize as a token of his gratitude.
Concerns about the steady erosion of civil liberties and all-too-quick slide into a surveillance state are finally starting to get a sliver of the traction they should have gotten since roughly the end of 2001.
The erosion of civil liberties via state surveillance has been accompanied by an ever-shrinking capacity for citizens to monitor the state. This ranges from the mundane (e.g., police officers routinely harassing, arresting, injuring, and/or falsely charging people for photographing or recording them in public) to the profound (e.g., charging journalists as "co-conspirators" for soliciting restricted information).
There is perhaps no better test of whether technology activists will be able to mobilize the public en masse on behalf of a desired change — rather than, as in the SOPA blackout, against an unpopular proposed change.
Whether or not an anti-surveillance movement can effect major changes in policy is not a fair measure of whether and how well such a movement performs as a movement; better measures include people mobilized to action, mainstream coverage, and policymakers and allies recruited.
Regardless of whether it is fair to measure an anti-surveillance movement based on policy outcomes, such policy outcomes may be a fair way to measure the viability of our democracy. If we can't get people on the left, right, and center to join together to take back the Fourth Amendment, the promises of our Constitution are pretty hollow indeed. (Satire or not, this hits close to home.)
If I were in the position of Snowden, Greenwald, or the Guardian, I hope and believe that I would make pretty much the same decisions.
I say all of this publicly, even though I no longer have faith that I can do so without fear of retribution (yes, I use that term deliberately) by the state.
So, to the snoops that are undoubtedly listening — even though it's unlikely that any human will ever actually read this tiny speck in an ocean of data — come and get me.
If what Snowden did lands him in prison, being there next to him would be an honor. If blowing the lid off a giant, proto-police-state phone and internet surveillance operation is wrong, I don't want to be right. If leaking state secrets in the public interest puts one in danger of torture, indefinite detention, exile, or being disappeared, we're all in danger — and for most people, this will be because too few will be brave enough to take such a risk to protect the citizenry from the state.
So consider me part of the conspiracy, Mr./Ms. Snoop. Tell your supervisors that we have a dissident who needs closer scrutiny and maybe a visit from an agent.
I'd rather go to prison, right now, for the rest of my life than to live in complicity as we slide ever-closer toward becoming a bona fide police state.
And just to increase the odds that a real human does see this: bombs Al Qaeda assassinate infidels fertilizer kill death murder planes airports President Obama Capitol White House 9/11 TNT flying with liquids in containers larger than 100 ml (3 oz. for you SAE holdouts) and not taking off my accursed shoes. So there.
P.S. If there's one consequence I do fear as a result of this post specifically, it's being put on the no-fly list — itself a particularly apt illustration of the intersection of terrorism paranoia, unchecked executive branch power, and rank bureaucratic incompetence.

OOMS Wooden Memory Stick
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Storage, USB
OOMS, a furniture and interior design company in the Netherlands, is certainly geared towards saving the planet. They have designed wooden memory sticks made from real branches literally picked up in the woods. Each is handmade and can be personally engraved when ordered in lots of 50 or more. Choose between a 1GB for 50 EUR (~$68.00,) 2GB for 55 EUR (~$75.00,) or 4GB for 60 EUR (~$81.00.) The company also created a solar powered birdhouse that can act as an outside nightlight as well as a bug attractor.

- Focus on Funds
Vanguard Files for Active ETFs, No Immediate Plans: Spokesman
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Vanguard Group this morning laid the groundwork for exchange-traded fund versions of dozens of popular actively managed mutual funds, although a spokesman tells Barrons.com there are no immediate plans to offer the ETFs.
The March 7. filing with regulators requests permission to build ETF versions of Vanguard Wellington (VWELX), Vanguard Explorer (VEXPX), Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund (VWINX), and more than half a dozen muni-bond fund families, among others. Just because a fund is included in the filing doesn't necessarily mean an ETF version will be built, the spokesman stressed.
The company manages about $860 billion in active mutual funds in addition to its well-known passive index funds and ETFs. See the complete list here.
The spokesman told us Friday morning by email that the idea, first spotted by Daniel P. Wiener of the Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors, would apply to new actively managed stock and bond funds as well as existing ones.
Here's what the spokesman said when asked about the inclusion of Vanguard Wellington and other well-known mutual funds:
Vanguard will not offer ETF shares of a fund unless its adviser reasonably believes that the daily disclosure of portfolio holdings would not have an adverse effect on the portfolio strategy and its execution. This determination will be made based on the markets and securities in which the fund invests, as well as the fund's investment style, strategy, and policy.
Investors each day can see the stocks held by ETFs like SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) or iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), and that transparency is one of the most oft-cited reasons for mutual-fund firms' ETF-building hesitancy. (Of course, fund makers are also probably wary of undercutting their existing businesses.)
The trend of big fund companies laying groundwork for and launching actively managed ETFs lately is heating up. Earlier this year, State Street paired with MFS Investment Management to launch a trio of the funds, although investor uptake has been limited. Other big-name asset managers who've built actively managed ETFs or begun preparing include Pimco, Eaton Vance, Franklin Resources, and J.P. Morgan Chase.
Nearly a year ago, speaking on the Barron's ETF Roundtable, Vanguard ETF strategist Joel Dickson suggested the company was in no rush to build actively managed ETFs. He also underscored risks. For instance, how would a large-scale active ETF deal with an influx of too much money? It doesn't have the same options as a conventional mutual fund:
[Dickson:] Active ETFs are interesting, and certainly we could do something. Or we might not. I see active ETFs not so much as an investment play, but as a distribution play. You've got old-line mutual-fund cost structures that emerged from traditional commission-based selling platforms. But there has been a huge shift toward fee-based platforms. From a distribution standpoint, there is a lot of runway for active ETFs.
[Barron's:] Could there be an actively managed Vanguard ETF?
[Dickson:] The biggest hurdle for us has been, and continues to be, the condition of portfolio-holdings transparency. But more broadly, what's the endgame with an active exchange-traded fund? Let's say you are successful. You need a high-capacity product to even think about doing this. At Vanguard and many other shops, when capacity limits have been reached, you close the fund. What does it mean to close an ETF? We've seen what happens when you cut off share creation -- you get a premium and a lot of volatility. That is not well understood by investors. They don't understand how the arbitrage mechanism breaks down. [For more on that, see "The Biggest Hurdle,".] I think that's an interesting question in actively managed ETFs. How are shareholders served if you are successful -- too successful -- with the product?
Correction 10:15 a.m.: The eigthth paragraph of the original version of this blog mistakenly said Fidelity Investments paired with MFS Investment management for actively managed ETFs. It was State Street, not Fidelity.

Plymouth Police Officer Dies In Motorcycle Crash
A veteran Plymouth police officer has died after his motorcycle crashed.
Chief Michael Botieri identified the officer as 43-year-old Gregory Maloney, a 17-year veteran who was married with two teenage sons.
The chief says Maloney was on duty riding westbound on Samoset Street at about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday when his bike went down.
Maloney was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston where he was pronounced dead several hours later.
Botieri says another officer on a motorcycle was riding alongside Maloney at the time, but it does not appear as if the two bikes made contact.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

As I sit here typing with a belly full of turkey, trimmings and pie, I have to admit that the idea of baking cookies is the farthest thing from my mind. Yet I know when I wake up tomorrow my desire to bake (and eat) will be renewed again and as the holiday music fills the air over the next few weeks, I'll be happy to have this list of tasty recipes to look back on. Because even though I can't imagine taking one more bite of food at the moment, these recipes look really darn good.
I put together some of the best recipes I could find and broke them down into categories. I think there is likely something here to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth, but if you don't find something you like, please feel free to link to your favorite cookie recipe in the comments. After all, whenever cookies are concerned, the more, the merrier.
If you are like me and have a bunch of pureed pumpkin to use up, you welcome any recipe that involves pumpkin. Did I mention my neighbor dropped off a container full of 13 cups of pumpkin this week? Oh yes, she did. Ordinarily I would welcome such a gift, but when my freezer was already full of pumpkin puree, it forced me to get a little creative. That is why we had chocolate pumpkin cake for my son's birthday earlier in the week, as well as two kinds of pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this evening (and probably pumpkin soup later this week). Luckily for me there is no shortage of good pumpkin cookie recipes out there.
Pumpkin Cookies
- Mommy Wizdom claims she has a recipe for The Best Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever and told me that anywhere she takes her cookies, people ask her for this recipe.
- At Green Hour, there's another recipe for kid-friendly Pumpkin Cookies (scroll down to the third recipe), where the kiddos can help "press raisin eyes, a nose, and a smile on each warm cookie."
- Julie at Persnickety Palate posted one of her childhood favorites, Mom's Pumpkin Cookies. This variation includes almonds and chocolate chips.
- Last in the pumpkin category is the recipe for the easiest cookies I've ever made. Seriously. This recipe for Pumpkin Spice Cookies (AKA The easiest cookies I've ever made) literally has only two ingredients (though more can be added, but that's totally optional).
Speaking of simple cookie recipes, here are a couple more that even the most inexperienced baker can handle.
Simple Cookie Recipes
- Jenn from The Green Parent told me this recipe on Twitter. It's so short and easy, she gave me the whole recipe in 140 characters or less, and I quote, "3cups pb, 3 cup sugar, and 3 eggs…mix and bake then press a Hershey's kiss in the top. Yum Yum and soo easy!" And hello, chocolate and peanut butter (which is what the "pb" stands for above) together? In my book that's a combination that can never go wrong.
- Brandy from Savin Some posted a Cake Mix Cookie recipe that uses white cake mix and just two other ingredients.
- And at Cindy's Desktop, Cindy confesses, "I cannot cook hard recipes!" Her solution is to only cook easy recipes and she offers up a variety of Cake Mix Cookie recipes.
Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite in my house. I always say that you can add chocolate chips to nearly any recipe and it will only make it better.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
- When I first read about Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies on Twitter, I was a little taken aback. Sure, bacon is good and chocolate is good, but combining them? Hmmm. According to Michelle Baker, AKA the Urban Eater, "The salty, crisp bacon is MAGIC with the sweet chocolately cookie. Perfection. I recommend NOT eating these straight from the oven as you will not stop." I'm not sure if I will try these out myself, but I'd love to know if anyone else does.
- If you are looking for a little more traditional chocolate chip cookie, you might like these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies from Teresa Long of Intent Blog.
- These Black and white chocolate chip cookies that come from Jessie at the blog The Hungry Mouse use Oreos as one of the ingredients look pretty darn tasty.
- Flour Girl, ironically enough, posted this recipe for Flour-less peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies. Again, peanut butter and chocolate. Yum!
Of course, 'tis the season and a post about cookie recipes wouldn't be complete without some holiday recipes.
Holiday Cookies
- Cabaret Squidoo includes a list of several different types of Christmas Cookie Recipes.
- Jenn from Frugal Upstate recently made this recipe for Gingerbread cookies with her kids.
- Linda from Make Life Sweeter made Spice cookies.
- These Whole-wheat raspberry almond thumbprint cookies from Pinch My Salt look like something I'd like to try with my kids. I think they'd really enjoy sticking their thumbs in the cookie dough.
I should probably apologize to all of the vegans out there for that bacon chocolate chip cookie recipe above (sorry), but if it's any consolation I found a handful of vegan recipes to help make it up to you.
Vegan Cookies
- From Priya's Easy and Tasty Recipes comes Vegan Peanut butter Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies.
- Half Pint Pixie made these Banana Figgy Cookies for her toddler daughter and was pleased her daughter loved them and that "there is no crap in them, excellent!"
- Isil from Veggie Way posted this vegan recipe for Ginger Cookies.
- Another good way to use up your pumpkin puree comes from Healthy Vegan Blog's recipe for vegan Pumpkin Cookies.
- And Kathy from What Do I Know? posted this tasty vegan recipe for No-Bake Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.
Since I included so many recipes that include chocolate (how did that happen?), I want to throw in this non-chocolate recipe for good measure: Lemon cookies from Mennonite Girls Can Cook. (Honestly, I had to include it just because it looks really good.)
And lastly, because we should not forget our canine friends, here are some cookie recipes for the dogs.
Dog Cookies
- Lisa from Condo Blues had to get creative when she recently found herself out of dog treats before an agility class. Because her dog has allergies to wheat and corn, it is hard to find dog treats in the grocery store anyway, so she developed her own Allergy-free apple and banana dog cookies.
- Ali at Home of the Lazy Dog has a recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits. She says she's made a lot of different kinds of dog treats over the years, but these are her favorite. They're "easy, healthy, natural, crunchy and taste great."
Have a favorite cookie recipe you'd like to share? Please leave a comment with a link or the whole recipe, I'm not picky. Happy baking.
*When buying chocolate chips (or chocolate of any kind), I recommend buying organic and fair-trade whenever possible. If it's just not in your budget (it's unfortunately, not usually in mine), then I suggest avoiding Nestlé products and buying a store brand (generally cheaper) or another brand. Why? You can read about the Nestlé boycott here. This is a boycott that I continue to stand behind.
