You bring up a great point that has me think of the importance of the time of conception in the influence astrologically. Astrology is about the moment we enter the world and take our first breath from my understanding.
Maybe you are a combination in the way that people who are born on the cusp of a sign (the transition from one sign to the next) take on the attributes of both.
Astrology isn't all about Sun signs though, there are so many influences of the planets and signs that work together to bring about the personality traits. Its not unlikely that you have a combination of the Aries and Pisces attributes relative to your Sun placement. None of us fit neatly into a sign, to the exclusion of other traits. You may want to look into getting a natal chart to get a better understanding of how all the planets, signs and houses influence you.

Last week I attended the MIT Enterprise Forum on Near Field Communications (NFC). This is the Northwest chapter of the Forum and was held at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. On the way into the museum I noticed an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper taped to the cement pillar to the left of the many entrance doors.
The paper had a QR code on it but didn't tell you what would happen if you scanned it. I didn't scan it. (In-part because I've been trying out a Windows Phone and I had yet to download a scanner.) I continued inside to the conference.
After the conference ended I had more time to stop, get a scanner, and scan the code. What a surprise! The QR code was pointed directly at a .pdf file hosted on the Amazon cloud servers (https://s3.amazonaws.com/mitef-nfc/pdf/MITEF-NFC-whitepaper.pdf) .
The .PDF was a 28 page whitepaper on Near Field Communications!
Was I supposed to read this on my phone? I tried zooming in to the point where the type was legible but then I was forced to pan across the page twice in order to read a single line. Panning on a smartphone is both a side-t0-side and up-and-down affair so as I was panning the line of text was also floating up and down as my finger wasn't dragging it perfectly sideways. Kind of makes you seasick.
What could have saved this campaign?
I understand what the organizers were trying to do here, distribute the NFC whitepaper to attendees. But was it their intention the people have the whitepaper in their hand to refer to during the conference? There were printed versions available to attendees for that purpose. To their credit, the mechanics worked fine. The scan resulted in a download. Saving this campaign, however, would have required a different approach:
First, it's never a good idea to tie a QR code directly to an asset url such as a document or video, which this one is. QR codes should point to urls than can be redirected at the conclusion of a campaign. In addition, if the url of the actual doc/video ever changes – particularly if it's hosted somewhere like YouTube – the QR code will no longer work. Not good if something is in print or worse, tattooed.
Second, a mobile phone is no place for a 28 page document. On the Android phone (on which I also tested this campaign) there's no easy way to get the document off the device. You can't attach it to an email and side-loading is a hassle. Instead, the QR might have either initiated a new email where the user could then email the link to themselves or it might have landed the user on a page where they could input their email address in order to receive links to the whitepaper as well as video or pictures of the actual conference. The idea is to use the 'in-the-moment' impulse of mobile to secure a future contact or interaction, not necessarily to be the delivery agent of the content.

Is there any possibility to repair the b-tree header of an HFS+ file system?
My hard drive died. I was at least able to create an image to an external drive. During checking out this image the Disk Utility tool says:
- Invalid file amount
- Invalid node size of B-tree header
Disk Warrior was able to recover some of the data. Unfortunately, not the real crucial ones. I have a back-up but this is 2 months old and during the last 2 months a lot has changed. And yes, I deserve the blame for not backing it up more regularly.

Document Number: 7346 Improving Alternative Education in California - Ten to 15% of high school kids are being educated at alternative schools with little evaluation of progress. There is some question that low performing students are often referred to alternative schools to relieve the burden of their improvement from the traditional schools, yet one quarter of high school dropouts are coming from alternative programs. This study makes recommendations to the state about how to insure accountability and maintain effective monitoring of alternative programs, to make sure that schools and districts are held responsible for the students in alternative education.

I don't know any Islam which completely guides its followers in all aspects of life. Can you quote any period of time where this complete code of life was implemented at all levels including political levels. Except the first few years where Arab traditions were mixed with religion and we have the period of the so called pious caliphs. Even majority of these caliphs were killed by their fellow Muslims and for the power game even grand sons of the prophets were brutally killed. Whatever you quote from Quran about family matters, social affairs or few political guidelines , all these are just moral injunctions and not at all complete family, social, legal or political codes. Do Muslims have a single codified law like penal codes, criminal codes, civil codes, constitutions, international law or political/economic theories like capitalism, communism, socialism, social contract etc. Not a single one. Yes I agree Islam has complete guidance in all religious matters like beliefs, worship and ethics. If you read Quran more than 95% its about beleifs, modes of worship and morality and few injunctions with moral under pinning in the fields of politics, economics, society or law. Personally I dont believe in any hadith which is not according to Quran, reason or any religious aspect of life. All hadiths about politics, economics, law etc are fabricated and manipulation of Ummayads, Abbasids etc to prolong their political despotic rule. People like Imam Abu Hanifa never joined government circles and always separated religion from politics. This secularism will save today's Islam too. |

Shinto,Sikhism,Taoism and Zoroastrianism. All these were originated in the East. However there are mythologies like Mayas, Guarani etc which may also be called as religion which were originated in the West. |
| |||
so, all the other religions you classify as mythologies. isn't that elitist and supremacist, osho? do you consider these 'others' too 'primitive' to have a 'religion'? |
| |||
I don't have any problem to call a mythology a religion or a religion a mythology. What I differentiated was Classical religions and others which are not popularly called religions. Following is the list of western religions/mythologies I got from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...tions#American which can be called religion or mythology as you wish. American

Osho, it seems that you're making a rhetorical argument rather than an evidential one. You're only making a statement about which you claim is fact, but it lacks any evidence in support of it.If Islam was merely a doctrine of personal morality or spiritual practices; Islam would not have a penal code. Having a penal code implies Law. Also Muhammad(saw) and the Khulafa did in fact oversee political dealings, had administrators that regulated prices at the markets, and organized representatives who regulated over social affairs and politics. They even sent Governors to other places in the Islamic World to oversee the affairs of those region, in politics, society and economics. This implies a Government existed under auspice of a theocratic leadership, all of this is well documented in the historical record.Your central argument in respects to the historical record was that it was a forgery by later groups to serve their agendas on the account that it contradicts the Qur'an. However there is nothing in the Qur'an contradicts the idea of a theocracy nor is there any evidence that the historical record served any groups agendas. Furthermore there is a lack of evidence that forgeries which demonstrated theocratic practices actually occurred. This is a separate issue from other types of forgeries. However those forgeries are actually MORE secular in nature than theocratic. In summary; Even if we suppose your statement is true that the Qur'an only deals with personal morality and spiritual practices; the evidence from History shows the Presence of Theocratic Institutions i.e. Shari'ah firmly in place from Muhammad(saw)'s time onwards So the existence of Shari'ah in Islam is real, the debate now is which interpretation of Shari'ah should we follow. Tho those who thank Osho's posts, Pashtanajan, Bharati, Lewanay Zalmay and the like. if you agree with Osho's narrative; then how do you explain this overwhelming evidence which would have been impossible to forge from so ma many independent sources and records which prove the contrary? Osho, I'd be happy to hear your response; but please if you do respond, please do not merely repeat and recycle your narrative and claims and expect them to be taken as fact on face value. provide evidence in support of your argument. |

Committees to select possible names for facilities at Tracy and West high schools are in the process of being appointed, and this move by trustees of the Tracy Unified School District is the logical next step to pinning some names on at least a few portions of the schools.
It's no surprise that the proposal to attach Wayne Schneider's name to what is now Peter B. Kyne Field at Tracy High has been kicked around in discussions among a number of people — and for several weeks in this column.
The number of comments I have included in this column in the past few weeks have helped bring the Schneider naming issue into public view and set the stage for consideration of the proposal by the citizens' committee.
In the past week or so, the comments — the great majority of them supporting Wayne's name — have pretty much ended; people who wanted to express their opinion, in this forum at least, have done so, and now the ball is in the court of the citizens' committee.
I would like to offer a concluding comment, though. I have discussed the possible attachment of Wayne's name to the Tracy High football field with several of his close friends. And they report that Wayne would feel honored by having his name on the facility. The friends believe that Wayne Schneider Stadium would be entirely appropriate in recognition of the contributions Wayne has made over three decades to Tracy High football in particular and the community in general.
That was a conclusion I had reached several weeks ago, and it is buttressed by the views of those close to Wayne.
The name Wayne Schneider Stadium would allow the playing field itself to remain Peter B. Kyne Field, the name attached to the then-dirt playing surface in 1927 when a group of San Francisco Bohemian Club members adopted the Tracy High football team.
The group maintained their contact with Tracy High football for about five years, but that was the extent of the involvement. Kyne, I should note, was indeed touched by the recognition and even called Tracy High his alma mater, though he hadn't attended high school.
But Kyne also pointed out that his friend, "Gus" Russell, played the key role in the group adopting the football team, building a fence around the field and naming the stadium.
Also, Peter B. Kyne's name will continue to live through the perpetual Peter B. Kyne Trophy, given at the end of each football season to the most-valuable player on the Tracy High football team. The words "most-valuable" are used instead of "outstanding" to signify that playing ability certainly is considered in the selection, but leadership and sportsmanship also weigh heavily.
Wayne Schneider's involvement in Tracy High football, of course, extended much longer than Kyne's and Russell's — more than a quarter-century of coaching — and went much deeper. And along with the 224 wins, 14 league titles and two Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championships, Wayne has had a great impact on the players on those teams, and that impact has extended beyond the team to the school and throughout the community.
In fact, Wayne is still making a contribution. As a close friend and confidant of both varsity coaches — Mark Stroup at Tracy High and Steve Lopez at West — he is continuing to influence the football fortunes of football in our town.
And, in recent years, Wayne has been the driving force to keep the North-South All-Star high school football game alive. Without his commitment, the game would be history.
Depending on how much bond money is available after other improvements on the Tracy High campus are completed, the football field will be improved in several possible areas. When that project is completed in a few years, naming the facility Wayne Schneider Stadium would be entirely appropriate.
Yes, Wayne Schneider Stadium has a good ring to it. But, more importantly, it is a name that is well deserved.

Richard Darbyshire
Richard Darbyshire
The husky voiced Richard Darbyshire carries the unwanted label of "one-hit wonder" as the former vocalist for Living in a Box. The title is misleading, since his old group had a number of chart successes in the U.K.; nevertheless, the band's career is often summarized by their lone appearance on American radio. Born on March 8, 1960, in Stockport, Cheshire, England, Darbyshire was introduced to the soulful music of Marvin Gaye and Al Green via a U.S. military station while he attended an American school in Japan. Darbyshire briefly joined a group with his American friends, and when he returned to England in the early '80s, he formed the Zu Zu Sharks. The Zu Zu Sharks were signed to EMI and released three singles. "Love Tumbles Down" hit number one in Spain, but Darbyshire was unhappy with the band's pop sound and departed from the group. Darbyshire continued to write songs for himself and singer Tessa Niles, and one of them, "Put Your Foot Down," was even recorded by the Temptations. He also performed session work for Polygram and EMI. In 1985, Virgin Records wanted to sign Darbyshire to a contract, while Chrysalis Records asked him to be the vocalist/guitarist for Living in a Box, a group that heard Darbyshire singing his own material while they were recording demos in the same studio. Darbyshire chose a five-year deal with Living in a Box. The band released their self-titled first LP in 1987, and the funky title-track was an immediate smash on U.S. radio and MTV. While Living in a Box's popularity in America faded quickly, their 1989 album, Gatecrashing, featured two Top Ten hits in the U.K., "Blow the House Down" and "Room in Your Heart." A year later, Chrysalis was purchased by EMI. New label personnel began telling the group to tone down their sound while they were recording their third full-length, and Darbyshire left in disgust before it was completed. In the '90s, Darbyshire penned and co-wrote songs for Marie Claire D'Ubaldo, Level 42, Jennifer Rush, Bing Abrahams, and Lisa Stansfield. Darbyshire's solo debut, How Many Angels, was released in 1994; it was reissued in 1999 as Love Will Provide, with two bonus tracks. ~ Michael Sutton, Rovi

Program Descriptions
Civil War/John Brown
Folk duo Magpie and independent scholar Amy Godine will offer a trio of presentations about abolitionist John Brown.
- Battle Cry of Freedom (Magpie) - MAGPIE's program of music from the Civil War era, like their other programs, goes beyond just the story of the war, of the government and the armies, to tell the personal stories of the people of the times and how they dealt with the crisis gripping the nation. The program begins with music from the abolitionist movement and from the Underground Railroad; the songs deal with Mary Brown, John Brown, Harriet Tubman and with the dangerous flight of the fugitive slaves to freedom in the north. From there the program tells the story of the soldiers and the loved ones they left behind. The songs, including some of the well-known tunes of the day, described the hardships of army life, the difficulties faced by those "keeping the home fires burning," and the patriotic fervor that motivated both sides. Then the program winds down with songs expressing everyone's weariness with the war, with the exception of one "unreconstructed" rebel.
- John Brown Country: History Enshrined, History Betrayed (Amy Godine) -
The John Brown farm and graveyard has been a state historic site since 1895. Writer Amy Godine explores a century-long battle over the last
century for the ownership of John Brown's memory. Who gets to say what
John Brown ought to signify? Social and political conservatives embraced
Brown the Martyr/Emancipator, whose work ended with the abolition of
slavery. Liberals and leftists championed Brown the civil rights
crusader, who moved his family to North Elba to help a struggling farm
colony of free blacks called Timbucto. Whose John Brown rules public
understanding at North Elba? - Sword of the Spirit (Magpie) - A one-act play based on the life and letters of John and Mary Brown. The time is the end of November, 1859. The place is the county jail in Charlestown, Virginia, (today West Virginia), and also the home of abolitionist Lucretia Mott near Philadelphia. John Brown has spent the last forty days of his life in the jail cell. During this time he has received many visitors, given interviews and composed over one hundred letters to acquaintances, friends, and members of his family, including his wife, Mary. At rise Brown addresses the audience. They are one last "interview" he has agreed to give. He tells them his story, expounding on his life, his beliefs, and what he considers his God-given mission to destroy the evil of slavery. From another part of the stage Mary writes to him from Lucretia Mott's home, where she has stopped on her journey to see him one last time. She also addresses the audience directly, telling the story of her life with her famous husband to "Mrs. Mott."
New York State in the Civil War
Presented by Bob Mulligan
As the richest and most populous state in 1860, New York provided more men, money, and materiel to the Union war effort than any other state. Despite this, the story of that effort is surprisingly under-represented. This slide-lecture looks at some of the efforts and experiences of New Yorkers and our institutions between 1860 and 1866.
Panel Discussion - Historical perspectives on Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
Moderated by Assemblymember Jack McEneny and featuring three local professors -- Allen Ballard and Amy Murrell Taylor from the State University at Albany and Bruce Eelman from Siena College -- the panel discussion will provide an interesting evening of historical perspective on one of America's greatest documents.
Panel topics will include:
- The Emancipation Proclamation and the Formation of the USCT-Colored Troops
- How Effective Was Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation?
- The Decision to Issue the Emancipation Proclamation
Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on display
This is a rare, one-day only public exhibit of one of the NYS Library's - and the nation's - greatest documentary treasures, a handwritten copy of President Abraham Lincoln's Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, issued on September 22, 1862, declared that all persons held as slaves within states still in rebellion against the United States on January 1, 1863 "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free."
This historic document has been part of the New York State Library's collection since 1865, when it was purchased by the New York State Legislature following the assassination of President Lincoln. It is written in Lincoln's handwriting with notes by Secretary of State William Seward, and portions of the printed Articles of War are pasted into the document.
Freeing Charles: The Struggle to Free a Slave on the Eve of the Civil War
Presented by Scott Christianson
Author Scott Christianson recounts the life and epic rescue of captured fugitive slave Charles Nalle, who was forcibly liberated by Harriet Tubman and others in Troy and Watervliet, New York, on April 27, 1860. Christianson tracked Nalle from his enslavement in Culpeper, Virginia through his escape by the Underground Railroad and his experiences in the North in the leadup to the Civil War. This engaging narrative represents the first in-depth historical study of this crucial incident, one of the fiercest anti-slavery riots after Harpers Ferry. His investigative history presents a richly detailed look at slavery culture in antebellum Virginia and probes the deepest political and psychological aspects of this epic tale. The account also underscores fundamental questions about racial inequality, the rule of law, civil disobedience, and violent resistance to slavery in the antebellum North and South.
Scott Christianson spent more than 18 years researching and writing his new book, Freeing Charles: The Struggle to Free a Slave on the Eve of the Civil War, about the epic rescue of captured fugitive slave Charles Nalle in Troy and West Troy in 1860. He is the award-winning author of numerous books, including With Liberty for Some and The Last Gasp, and has published hundreds of articles in The New York Times, The Nation, Journal of American History, and other journals. Christianson lives in a Sand Lake house that used to be part of the Underground Railroad.
Black Soldiers in the Civil War and Genealogical Records
Presented by Harry B. Matthews
President Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the United States, but rather set into motion the eventual enlistment of 200,000 black soldiers into the Union ranks. The stories of many of those soldiers have been lost in history, yet recent efforts have energized the movement to connect some of the soldiers with their descendants.
Matthews' presentation will share some of the history and resources of the time period that can help today's citizens with documenting family connections and local history with African American soldiers of the Civil War. The presentation will draw up some of the content of Matthews' recent publication, African American Freedom Journey in New York and Related Sites, 1823-1870: Freedom Knows No Color, published in 2008 by Africana Homestead Legacy Publishers, ISBN 978-0-9799537-4-3.
Library and Archives Resources on the Civil War
Christine Beauregard and Jim Summa, Senior Librarians at the New York State Library, will provide an overview of materials in the State Library's collections that can be used to research the Civil War, including regimental units, individual soldiers, diaries, correspondence, broadsides, etc.
Keith Swaney, Archives & Records Management Specialist at the New York State Archives, will discuss materials in the State Archives' collections that can be used to research the Civil War such as the Civil War Soldier database, abstracts of muster rolls, etc.
Father Abraham's Boys: When We Sent Our Children to War
Presented by Michael Aikey
In July 1998 the International Criminal Court stated, "conscripting or enlisting children under the age of fifteen years into the national armed forces or using them to participate actively in hostilities" is a war crime. On June 26, 1861, twelve-year-old Gustav Schurmann enlisted in the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry with his father. Gustav mustered out as a veteran at the end of the Civil War, age fifteen. Over 170 New York State children under age 15 fought in the Union Army during the Civil war. The total number of children under age 18 who served from the North was over 6,000. This presentation will outline and discuss a time when America sent its children to war.
Michael Aikey is the director of the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. He has been with the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) since 1996 serving successively as the Director of the New York State Military History Task Force, Librarian/Archivist, Deputy Director and moving to the directorship of the Museum/Research Center in 2002. A graduate of the State University of New York at Albany's School of Information Science and Policy, he worked in both public and academic libraries before coming to DMNA.
Active in history, Mr. Aikey was a founding member of the Capital District Civil War Round Table, has published articles on military history, guest curated several museum exhibits and worked as an NEA grant consultant. He lectures on New York State military history and the Civil War. Currently he serves on the Capital District Library Council's board of directors. His spare time is frequently involved in historical research, tinkering with classic British cars.
Movies: Abe Lincoln in Illinois and Amistad
Abe Lincoln in Illinois: This 1940 biographical film tells the story of the life of Abraham Lincoln, from his departure from Kentucky until his election as President of the United States.
Amistad: This 1997 film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is based on the true story of a slave mutiny that took place aboard ship Amistad in 1839, and the legal battle that followed.
"Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation" has been organized by the Huntington Library and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, in cooperation with the American Library Association Public Programs Office. This exhibition was made possible by major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Sunday, March 24, 2013
By Wendell Brock
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On paper, you might think Jon Krampner a bit of a peanut-butter dilettante.
He grew up in New York, went to college in California and wrote his first two books on a pair of "tormented geniuses in the arts who lapsed into obscurity because of drinking problems." (His description.)
So what could the biographer of a dissolute TV-drama pioneer and a forgotten Broadway actress have to say about peanut butter, that iconic American foodstuff that's so deeply entwined in the history of the American South?
As it turns out, the man behind the dryly informative "Creamy & Crunchy: An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the All-American Food" (Columbia University Press, $27.95) knows a great deal about the goober goop that is the preferred bedfellow of grape jelly and a pillar of the South's economy.
"When I was a kid - and maybe my memory is playing tricks with me - the only two foods I ate on a regular basis were peanut butter and hamburgers," Krampner recalls in an interview. "Actually my mother recently reminded me that I used to put peanut butter on spaghetti, too."
After a measly response to his "The Man in the Shadows: Fred Coe and the Golden Age of Television" (which sold about 1,000 copies) and "Female Brando: The Legend of Kim Stanley" (which sold 3,000), the former journalist decided to apply his investigative talents to a more familiar topic.
Setting out to chronicle the spread of the creamy and the crunchy, he envisioned a lively literary tale that would do for peanut butter what Steve Almond's "Candyfreak" did for chocolate bars and Mark Kurlanksy's "Cod" did for the flaky white fish.
"I thought, 'Oh, God, biography is such a difficult genre! I'll do something easy. I'll just do a fun pop history of peanut butter," Krampner said. "And as it turned out, in addition to having to learn about the production and history of peanut butter, I had to learn about agriculture, botany, nutrition, geology, organic chemistry, food contamination, allergies, patents and trademarks, antitrust laws, the history of the South, advertising, industrial design, statistics, and the federal rule-making process. And on top of that, I still had to do biographical profiles anyway. So when I thought this was going to be easy, I was an idiot."
Indeed, this intrepid peanut pundit dug deep into his subject.
He tasted jar after jar and ranked them by preference - choosily choosing Arrowhead Mills Creamy Organic and Trader Joe's Crunchy Valencia with Roasted Flaxseeds as best-tasting overall.
He traveled to Georgia, interviewed peanut farmers in the Florida panhandle and wrote near-definitive histories of America's big three brands: Jif, Skippy and Peter Pan.
He debunked the well-trod myth that George Washington Carver invented peanut butter, making a case it was either cornflake creator John Harvey Kellogg or St. Louis snack-food maker George Bayle. (Krampner ultimately goes with Bayle, since Kellogg's product was made from steamed goober peas and probably had little in common with today's toasty-tasting spread.)
Krampner never blanches from the truth, either. The plight of black farmers, the salmonella outbreaks, the peanut industry's 12-year battle with the FDA to try to sell peanut butter that was less than 90 percent pure, the rise and fall of the prolific '70s variety known as the Florunner: He plows up the sordid along with the sunny.
"I approached it in a purely celebratory spirit, but as I worked on it, the journalist in me kicked in," Krampner said. "So I basically wound up showing the bitter with the sweet." Krampner also discovered why so much of today's peanut butter smacks so little of the spread of his youth.
While much of the peanut butter of yore was crafted from flavorful Valencia and Spanish varieties, most of today's peanut products are mass-produced from the more prolific and profitable runner - making the runner "the very essence of a corporate peanut," Krampner writes pithily.
In a case of total immersion, the author even made his own peanut butter, from seeds he planted in front of his Los Angeles apartment.
"I harvested the peanuts. I shelled them. I dried them. And I went to the natural-food store on the corner and ground them. And by the time I did all that, I had about enough to put on one cracker," he said wistfully. "But it was the best peanut butter I ever had." Krampner ought to know.
With "Creamy & Crunchy," he establishes himself as a formidable authority on America's best-loved sandwich spread.

Lindsey Van from Lillehammer
This is Lillehammer Norway. December 10th, 2013. Lillehammer hosted the 1994 Olympic Winter Games. This past weekend they hosted World Cups in Ski Jumping, Nordic Combined, and Cross Country skiing. I competed and placed 22nd which was not what I was looking for, but I still enjoyed the competition. Lillehammer is quite north so the sun doesn't come up until almost 10am and sets at 3pm. This picture was taken at 2pm as I was warming up to jump.

Hi all,
I just wanted to say that if there is one noob guild in this then it is EXIGO. I was grinding with my friend in MF big spot and then they came. My friend was a procy and I am Capella. They started killing us, they killed my friend and after that they tried to kill me with three people but as noob as they are it didn't had any succes. I asked them after the fight not to attack me and my friend but they stil kept on going. After 5 min there were like 6 or 7 of them and I was really laughing but at the same time angry. I know it is in the game that procy kills capella and capella kils procy but when other people came they just said oke and left. It's just about respect!
One of them has my respect and that is Mysticgirl. She came, I told her not to kill and she didn't and just went other channel. When procy's came my friend told not to attack me and they said oke and left. It's just about respect for you fellow nation friend. But EXIGO doesn't really care.
I just wanted to say this. Ofcourse people who like EXIGO will flame me and people who don't like will say the same as me. I just wanted to releaf my heart :P
So in the future please EXIGO don't be that noob, just say oke like other people do. With 3 vs 1 and stil lose is a bit noob, shame on you!

The time has finally come where T-Mobile announces that the iPhone will officially be joining their lineup of phones in the near future. After an analyst predicted last week that T-Mobile will be partnering up with Apple to make it happen, it will be happening. T-Mobile is the last of the "Big 4" carriers in the United States to tact on the iPhone. In the past however, T-Mobile has been welcoming of users who unlocked their iPhones from other carriers for use with T-Mobile. Although users were only able to enjoy call, sms and EDGE data, T-Mobile did not charge any additional fees. In fact, the company pushed towards better accommodating the iPhone such as refarming spectrums to allow for faster data speeds.
There has not been any official details regarding the release date or retail price of the iPhone on T-Mobile. When that does happen, you'll be sure to know. Is anyone else excited that the iPhone is coming to the last major carrier in the United States?

9/17/2013Live Tiles stop updating if I don't open the app for a day or two. Very annoying because I rarely check traffic on the weekend, so every Monday I forget that my tiles aren't updating and think everything is green when it really isn't. Mango Traffic costs money but is a better app.
9/15/2013Great app but would love zoom in/out buttons on screen. I check traffic on the road and don't like having to do the pinch zoom thing. Otherwise love it.
9/13/2013Had this app for nearly 2 years and love it. Just discovered live tile option to show my daily commute's traffic. Amazing!

Recommended Books
To be honest, there aren't a ton of really great books that I have found... The best ghost stories are the ones that are fiction, and usually reporting of ghosts is sketchy at best.
However, Dayne and I used a few books to help guide us on our ghost-hunting vacations...
Haunted Texas Vacations, Lisa Farwell. This is where we learned all about Jefferson, TX, the most haunted small town in Texas. We love that place, and not just for the ghosts - it is truly a charming area up in East Texas. Farwell's stories are in the first-person, telling of her own experiences, kind of like what we do on our ghost tour.
When we were in Jefferson, we met Michel Whitington, who owns the most haunted house in Jefferson (formerly The Grove Restaurant). He also writes books about his experiences with ghosts and stories from around Texas. He has a whole series of them, and the best (in my opinion) is Ghosts of East Texas. Learn more about The Grove, Mitchel, and see his books here: http://thegrove-jefferson.com/.
You can find these books on Amazon.com or even at Half Price Books, probably.

We live along Brushy Creek along side hgwy 79.
We have seen spirits walking along the railroad tracks and also Indians, when I went to research, I found out there was a Fort (Fort Kenney ?) around Palm Valley where the Luthren Church was and I think that is where there was an Indian -Soldier attack.
There have been a lot of people killed at this railroad intersection on Redbud /79.
I never said anything as I din't want someone to think I am kook.
My neighbor who reads auras and comes from Cherokee heritage brought the same descriptions up of what I had seen.
I even had another friend who drives to work aroun 4 am in the morning and he has described the samd thing on the railroad tracks.
Our subdivision borders the creek and I would really like to know about the history here.
Any suggestions ?
Do you know of any ghosts in Taylor, I visited a friends home and got an encounter of a small boy and the people who are elderly say my friend is not nuts, it has been visited for years.
The grandmother says it is the peanut man "It is dressed like abe lincolnd with top hat", and then ther is a small boy.
I was sitting next to my friend on his couch, his cat's ears went down and my friend said , he's here, the room got cold, and the flowers on the wall swayed back and forth as someone playing with it.
My friend just talks to him and you could feel the cold area go back and forth from me to him as the little boy visited us.
I have always had the "insight" to see and feel things and have not participated in things lately.
Great website. Do you know how I research Ghosts for Taylor or the background for that town?

Undiscovered Baby Names: What New Names Have You Heard Lately?
Our first crowd-sourced blog, on original names that lead to popular nicknames, was such a hit that we've decided to give it another go. Our new topic: Undiscovered baby names — undiscovered by you, that is, at least until recently.
I first thought of this subject last September at a Labor Day picnic, when I was introduced to a man named Hanan (it rhymes with cannon).
I was struck, as I always am in this situation, that even after writing ten books on names, after being professionally immersed in the subject for two decades, and after virtually a lifetime of name nuttery, I can still come across names that I've never heard before.
Hanan, as it turned out, was actually in the nameberry database: It's an Old Testament name of a member of the tribe of Benjamin, just waiting to be rediscovered.
I started jotting down other names that were new ones on me and looking up their origins. Other recent selections from my personal undiscovered baby names list:
JARA or YARA — A German friend who lives in Madrid and is expecting recently told me that, if she has a girl, she plans to name her Jara or Yara, a name that works in both Spanish and German. This was a new one on me, and when I looked it up I discovered that Yara is an Arabic name meaning butterfly and also the name of a Brazilian goddess, while Jara (which can be pronounced with the Y or the J sound at the beginning) might be a variation of Yara or may be

Old House Handyman: Fire raises fascinating question
Home and Garden
On The House
Biz List Search
Use our search to find local businesses in the Columbus area.
If your house were on fire, what would you take with you?
That's the question behind the new book The Burning House (It Books, $16.99) by Foster Huntington.
It was a query Huntington posed during a dinner party, and the swift responses from everyone in the room prompted him to start the Burning House blog to collect and post photos of the things people would take with them. From there, it became an obsession that led to a book.
The things people would save from fire are fascinating and speak to personal values — photos, passports, family photos, clothing and a host of mementos of family history.
Given the recent wildfires in Colorado that incinerated hundreds of houses and the storm that just raked Ohio and damaged properties, the question hits close to home.
What would you take?
My favorite in Huntington's book is Cris Suly, 61, a retired post office custodian living in California. He would take only the things he was photographed with while standing on his front stoop — his boxer shorts and prayer beads. Nothing else is important, he said, and the beads are simply for prayers of thanks for a safe escape.
Firefighters would hug Suly. They say you should stop for nothing if caught in a burning building, because the precious moment you take to grab personal belongings might be the difference between living and dying.
It's important to make that point, because I wouldn't want a philosophical discussion about prized possessions to suggest that you should actually take time to grab your favorite shoes on the way out. (Some people would, according to the book.) Don't bother. Save yourself.
But thinking about the most important things in your life now — before disaster strikes — would allow you to prepare so that you won't have to worry about material things while the house is filling with smoke.
At the top of many lists are photos — family memories. At our house, which has become the repository for family history, those photos come in every possible form. We have some so old that they are on tin and a few on glass negatives. We have hundreds on paper, hundreds in old-fashioned slides, thousands on CDs and DVDs, and a whole new generation of them stored on computers and a half-dozen external hard drives. And they are scattered all over the house, from attic to basement. There's no way I could scoop them up on the way out.
Given time, I'd park them all in a computer cloud so they'd be safe.
We also have family history books, letters written by great-grandparents, our daughters' first bonnets and so on. I want to keep it all, and yet I have done very little to keep the most precious things safe.
A few important documents are tucked away in a bank safe-deposit box.
Fire insurance experts say we should photograph and/or shoot video of our homes and the things in them. We should keep the photos and videos at a location away from the house. I did that years ago and gave copies to my mom to keep at her house, but I doubt either of us could find them now. It's time to do it again.
If you haven't thought about it, what would you take from a burning house?
Buying a generator
In the days following the June 29 storm that downed thousands of trees, cut power to hundreds of thousands of Ohioans and damaged so many homes, many of you asked about the column I wrote in 2008 after researching generators and buying one.
My Generac is humming in the backyard as I write this column, and the column spawned by that generator is reprised today (with updated Internet links) for those who might be thinking about buying one.

Object description
Builders of the 'Blitz Repair Squad' at work on a row of houses damaged by a V1 flying bomb, somewhere in London. The original caption states that this damage is typical of such an attack, with tiles and much of the roof itself missing, and windows blown in. The Blitz Repair Squad is a team of builders who have come to London from various parts of the country to help repair such damage. Here they work on ladders, tying tarpaulins in place on the roof and fixing waxed linen to the window frames in place of glass, in order to make the house watertight.

Can't find the right word....
I'm a little concerned about something that has been occurring more and more frequently over the last couple of years. At least a few times a day, when I am in conversation, I cannot think of the word that I am trying to use, even though I know it. I am fairly intelligent with a wide vocabulary so this is more a matter of not being able to recall the word in conversation/on the spot. This also happens with trivia such as famous people's names and names of places, but rarely with more familiar names of friends and clients. It is very frustrating since communicating is a large part of my job. I will point out that I am taking medication for depression and anxiety which seems to be regulated. I also had major abdominal surgery almost 2 years ago to remove 5 very large fibroid tumors. After the surgery, I told my surgeon about my memory problems, which he said were a normal side effect of the anesthesia and he assured me it would go away. Well, it hasn't. I have also been under a substantial amount of stress over the past two years, which is being alleviated...however the problem remains. I'm worried about loading myself up with herbal and "natural" remedies that are unproven. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Can't find the right word....
I took medication for depression, and experienced the exact same thing. I was on Paxil for a few years, switched to Lexapro, and eventually weaned myself off of all medication. The Paxil was the worst - I was always searching for the right words. It was as if they were inside of me, but I couldn't communicate what I was trying to say effectively. I typically have a very good vocabulary, and that was such a frustrating experience. Another thing that regularly happened was that I would be in the middle of telling a story or explaining something, and would forget what I was saying in the middle of a sentence.
My family and friends were aware of what was going on, and were very patient with me. It was more difficult to interact with people at work... I often felt as if they assumed I was scatterbrained.
I know just how you feel. This could very well be a side effect of your medication, and you should mention that to your doctor. What are you taking?
Within a few weeks of stopping meds, I felt the difference. It was so sweet the day I realized that I didn't have those experiences any more. I do have empathy for my Dad, because he is starting to experience the same thing due to age. He looks to Mom more and more now to help him jog his memory. I had no problems with memory... it was just getting the words from my brain out of my mouth that was the problem. It felt as if there was a barrier between the two.
