Weston Observatory busy after 4.0-M earthquake
WESTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- Seismographs stayed busy at the Weston Observatory where scientists are calling Tuesday night's earthquake moderate sized.
The tremors were felt all across New England and even some places in eastern New York.
Experts at the Weston Observatory say while the USGS put the magnitude at 4.0, that number could change as they get more information. Now they're keeping an eye on aftershocks.
"We can expect small aftershocks -- magnitude threes and twos -- to continue for some time. It's hard to say [how long] but that tail can be very long. It can be out for months," said Dr. Mike Hagerty.
Experts say it is the strongest earthquake centered in New England in six years.
"There was a 4.2 in Bar Harbor in Maine in 2006. It gives you some idea, it's not an everyday occurrence but it's not completely unusual either," Dr. Hagerty said. "We have small earthquakes going on all the time and nobody's aware of it."
For some who felt the shaking Tuesday night, it brought back memories of a quake centered in Virginia felt in New England last summer.
"It's funny because we had an earthquake last year in August too. And I felt that too. It doesn't happen that much in New England I guess," one man said.
MEMA says there are no reports of damage.

thanks, yup those are both in raid, i got another IDE 320GB hiding in the HDD bay (lying on top of the DVD drive ) any tips for tidying up, the cable management is a little tight in this case?
If you cant tuck those fan wires behind the drive bays, you could sleeve them black to make them blend in to the back round. You should able to tuck that ide cable behind the bays considering IDE's are flat and quit flexible. I would need a shot of the inside without the side panel on and some better lighting to give you some good tips for cable management. @EvolvA I haven't forgot'in about you Evo, I have some good idea's to tidy up your case as well, but I have to go to work today so I will post them hopefully tomorrow.
The Apollo build is finished! I built this rig for a client and he wanted a green themed Nzxt Apollo. He is 15 and his parents bought him a piece of crap Dell only a year ago and since he is a huge rpg gamer the dell couldn't really handle what he plays. I recommended most of these parts according to their budget and it resulting in a massive upgrade from what he had before. This kid was so stoked So here it is, tell me what ya think? specs: Nzxt Apollo case Gigabyte EP45-UD3 BFG GTX 275 896Mb Intel Core2duo @2.5Ghz Crucial 3Gb ddr2 800mhz WD Caviar Blue 640Gb hdd Window 7 Home Prem. 64bit Antec Truepower 750w psu I started be modding the structure of the case be cutting out the front and rear fan grills. ( you can see where I screwed up the back cut.) I cut a section out of the lip on the back for the cable management, the lip would make it impossible to close the panel. Also cut a square hole for the psu cables to enter the backside of the case. Next I cut a bottom hole for an intake fan to shoot cool air up into the cards intake. Added a dust filter Well since he wanted a "green" theme I had to get rid of those blue leds that come in the front bezel of the case, so I soldered in 3 green leds. c/m Final build! Take a look inside............
t77snapsot - excellent choices. You have really freed up the air in there. Did you get before and after temps?
Good work! Looks like you've really improved that case's airflow and noise with those mods. As with your other build I've seen you got nice cable management going on and the front panel looks real nice with the green LED's. Your client certainly has reason to be stoked and not just because of the big hardware upgrade. Once more, good work!
This was a brand new build so there aren't any before temps and I can't remember what the current temps are, sorry. I could find out later this week though. @ KieX Thank you...and yeah, this case didn't really provide any c/m or airflow so I had to mod it to make up for that.
I got some old pics of my NZXT Guardian floating around on the net somewhere. I cant remember the site i uploaded it to but its similar to photobucket. A lot of my pics are still archived in Guru3d - Since thats where I was before I came here & upgraded to a Q9550 system
woa, that is impresive. I've never liked the Apollo, but you've done a great job, specially with the cable management mod, given this case has absolutely no cm features, congratulations t77snapshot!!
dug all the way back to 2006 in the guru3d archives - cant find anything. tried looking up file hosters but I really cant remeber what site it was - but I do remember having uploaded some pictures of my guitars, pc's & pictures of my ex-gf on there (to tell the world that a peice of my heart was floating around somwhere on the net. fucked if i should know....) spent an hour digging around doing multiple searches - couldnt find anything what i was looking for.
I will definitely upload my own pics soon - I need to do a W7 RTM install on it anyway but for now for illustration purposes.... ---- My case - NXZT Guardian
Looks like an original Cylon. Wouldn't want one of those staring at me - from on my desk or (perhaps worse) - under it.
Dont really matter - only got a AMD64 FX-55 & a X850XT in it anyway - Did have an Audigy 2 ZS but sold that to my dad
Ok, so I finally finished the last parts of cutting into my case. First I cut out the back fan gill for improved airflow and noise. I also added some new stuff and gave Freeman's Box a nice makeover. Next I cut out the bottom hole so I could flip the psu (I've been wanting to do this for a long time!). Do you see the face? I installed an Aerocool Touch 2000 to keep the noise down while my women is home because she is always nagging about the computer being to loud, then crank them up for gaming and benching. I added another GTX 285 and cleaned up my cable management. So what you do ya guys think?
Oh my.... I really adore your tempest, it's so sexy I did the same for the front fans, and it was quite an improvement... again, congratulations for such a sexy setup ps: love your razer keyboard, I bought a razer imperator mouse myself, I'll post some photos when I do the last mod on my tempest, might be tomorrow...
Yea I cut the front grills out too, but I used tin snips so they don't look as pretty. Awesome! Did you spend more time cleaning up the cables?
i am SO joining this club very soon here is a teaser it has blue lights in the front, so i can re use my cm fans + i might do wc in it, but time will show snyone with a rogue who has a larger air cooler in it? i seen some with a true in it, would be fun if my dark knight could fit in there at the beginning
finally I had some time to do the last mod I'll be doing in my tempest this is what I bought yesterday for the mod: this was to check if it fitted it fitted quite right so here's the paintwork and final look what do you think?
Wow nice mod! Evolva That's a great idea for your cable management and I like the red, it works well with your theme. Now you gotta get rid of that green cpu fan eww keep it all red/black! Now that you have the cover on, it gives you more options for hiding the cables. Ok so I was thinking, maybe run your sata cables straight down (to the bottom of the mobo, behind the red panel and then direct them to the right (bypass that hole all together). Also run your front panel wires behind the red panel from the bottom and up to the board. That alone should make it look not so cluttery in that partiular area of the case. I hope that all made sense to you.
it makes perfect sense, and you're right about the green fan, but it's so damn good I don't want to get rid of it (I might paint the blades red). and about the sata cables, I'll do exactly what you've said next weekend , thanks a lot for the tips
My latest upgrade.... I finally installed my H50, ran into some small issues but no biggie. I really wanted to mount it to the top and have one of the 140mm fans pulling and a 120mm pushing, but I lost my adapter So I just mounted it the traditional way. Everything looks good accept for that 3pin pump cable...I am going to connect it straight to the psu later. Ok on to the pics and temps--- idle temps: Prime95 load temps:

"Seek the strongest colour effect possible … the content is of no importance"
Henry Matisse
For many centuries the Silk Road was a great highway for the export of luxury goods from China to Europe. Silk, fabrics, porcelain, furs, spices, gems, carpets and other exotic goods of Asia moved along this "road" to the West. In the 19th century the Ikat fabrics from Central Asia became very popular among the traders on the Silk Road. Samarkand and Bukhara became the centres of the finest Ikat fabric production called the Han Atlas, which is a 100% percent natural hand-woven and hand-dyed fabric. Its pattern and design was an indication of luxury, power and high social status. Han-Atlas fabric is woven out of silk into a combination of bright colours, such as red, yellow and green. Traders brought Ikat fabrics to the West where they have had a unique influence on the design world ever since. Continue reading

The Iron Quill - The Beta Round - Frozen
The acolyte was alone in snow there was nothing around her but endless white, and remains of long dead Neverborn. The blizzard was raging all around the acolyte, her fur coat did nothing to protect her from the icy wind cutting though her and stabbing her soul. She had to keep going she could feel December calling to her. She slipped and landed face down in the snow and waited a few seconds. she could hear December taunting her, claiming her for his own and refusing to let go.
"Do you really want to die here" the acolyte tried to scream no with all her might, but it came out as a gargled mess, she soon got back up onto her and ran with all her might though the endless snow and ice.
She soon realized that a second voice was calling her forwards, this one was warmer more feminine than Decembers. She headed towards it not knowing whether she had gone mad with hypothermia. It called to her from beyond a hill. She tried to climb it, but struggled and reverted to continuing on all fours. She wasn't fast enough, her furs were heavy with ice and snow and were holding her back, so she discarded them.
The acolyte reached the top of the hill and looked around, she could see nothing but white in every direction. A flame grew within her, she felt strong and powerful, like she could do anything. The female voice said one thing and she knew she had been betrayed.
"Mine" both Tyrants launched a fall assault onto her mind. The acolyte was unable to deal with might of both of them and collapsed into the snow and rolled down the tossing and turning and landed on a soft white blanket, not of snow, but of silk. Both tyrants had left her alone.
"Odd, how one so small could be so interesting to two Tyrants." The acolyte turned to come face to face with a large, four armed dragon, it's mystical purple eyes transfixed on her. The acolyte swallowed, as with all the woman within the cult of December her tongue had been removed.
"Don't worry, this is my realm, I do as I please, if I want you to talk, you can do so. tongue or no tongue"
"But, but who are you? Where am I?"
"I have my names, I am the voice in the dark, the shadow in the back of your mind, the monster under bed, the endless scream and the eternal silence. I'm what waits for you at the bottom of the falling nightmare! Why ask for a name little thing? What I am is so much more important than who I am. but if it makes it easier for you, call me Nytemare. Your dream has become the battle ground of the old Gods, December and Naga, both weakened but strong enough to take you if they want."
"Dream? So...where am I in the real world?"
"Face down in the snow, dying I'm afraid, both tyrants are trying to take advantage of the situation. You can become a puppet of ether December or Naga or you can die."
"No, I wont die here and i refuse to be December or anyone else's puppet"
"Determination or Stupidity, to stand before a god and say No"
"I wont stand by and let them take my body away from so easily" Nytemare grinned showing maw filled teeth larger and sharper than daggers
"I like you, that's why i have decided to help you"
"Why, if i'm so insignificant why would you help me"
"Would you believe me if I would say it was out of the kindness of my heart? Don't answer that, I don't like December or Naga and would greatly enjoy taking the're prize away from them. I would let you take a small part of my essence,"
"And what become your puppet, instead of December or Naga's. NO! I would rather die" the Acolyte spat at Nytemare
"Smart, but no. I already have my vessel I don't need a second. I do need a minion to do my bidding"
"But why me"
"You don't get to ask that, if a need you I call and you come, when I say jump"
"I say how, i get it. I have no other option do I, what do you want me to do"
"Do I don't require you DO anything" the world around the melted and span around her. Nytemare became an infernal of purple flames that swallowed her whole.
The Acolyte awoke face down in the snow, like nothing had happened. The blizzard had stopped and sunrise in the distance had burned the sky a beautiful shade of orange. For a moment the acolyte was allowed to believe that dream was just that and nothing more.
"Remember, you work for me now" Nytemare voice echoed in the back of her mind. The Acolyte had felt different, there was a hidden power within open for her to use. She focused, her feet became cloven hooves, her haired died purple and a large pair of reptilian black wings that shimmered like starligh grew from her back.
"I can work with this" smiled the acolyte as she flew towards the city of MalifauxLast edited by Sliver Chocobo; 07-20-2012 at 08:11 AM.

I am really enjoying this, Chocobo. The concept is intriguing, and I can tell you're having fun with it. You're definitely improving as a writer, which is awesome. I love the idea of a war of Tyrants over one individual, it really does fit well within the fluff and it's interesting.
Saw some grammar and spelling issues, wanted to point them out and make some suggestions on how to smooth out your dialogue.
...protector her from the icy wind cutting though her and stabbing her soul.
she could here December taunting her December had claimed her for his own and he was not going to let her go.
She headed towards it not knowing with she had gone mad with hypothermia.
The second voice said one thing and she knew she had been betrayed.
"Interesting, how one so small can be, such an interest to not only one tyrant but two, don't worry you can talk here" the acolyte turned to cane face to large four armed drsgon like Nephilim, it's mystical purple eyes were transfixed on her.
I don't think that the lack of tongue should be mentioned by Nytemare. Her reaction, being shocked and surprised, does fit very well, though. If you do make the above change, it'll need to be adjusted, but that shouldn't be too hard.
"I have my names, but may call me Nytemare, your dream has become the battle ground of two two of Malifaux's old God's December who has been spread so think there is bearly anything left and Naga, not the most powerful but she is able battle December in his weakened state."
"I have many names, but you may call me Nytemare. Your dream has become the battle ground of the old Gods, December and Naga, both weakened but strong enough to take you if they want."
"Dream, so where I in the real world"
"Dream? So...where am I in the real world?"
Like I said, I'm really enjoying reading this piece, and I'm really curious where you're taking it. Looking forward to reading more!In a world where carpenters are resurrected, anything is possible.

In concept I do really like it. Edonil hit the grammar issues I had.
I know its not done so something I'd suggest looking into is the dialog. Its just a bit stiff. The "I have many names" trope is certainly one that's been done but there are so many fresh ways to do it too. Overall I just want the interactions spiced up a little. The idea is so rich but the description and dialog don't do justice to it.
Something I find helps with dialog is to speak it out loud. You get a good feel for what works and doesn't that way.
Thanks for the share.

There's nothing wrong with embracing tropes, its just all how you present it. I would have done something like this, just off the top of my head:
"But who are you?"
"Names names names... so obsessed with codifying and quantifying!" The voice is spoken by the wind, by the sky and by the night itself. Shadows begin to dance across the snow capped desolation.
"I am the frost fingered fear that crawls up your spine! The darkness that slithers across the moon! the shriek and sudden silence! I'm what waits for you at the bottom of the falling nightmare! Why ask for a name little thing? What I am is so much more important than who I am."
Again, still trope esq but different and descriptive and it conjures up some imagery.

Don't worry Chocobo, I'll be completely objective and fai-
Ahem... ;)
Similar to Hardlec, better than the last story I read from you. You're certainly improving.
I have to ask, and I hope you don't mind, but do you struggle with spelling and grammar or is it just technical problems? After reading, it felt like edonil's changes (which seem to have been implemented) only scratched the surface.
But overall it felt more Malifaux-esque. I didn't really like Nytmare, too talky and informal, but I suppose that's your style (see? Objective =]) Don't worry, I didn't like Thechosenone's alternative either (but I'm not here to criticise him) =P
Who's Naga?
Also, I didn't think Acolytes were so vulnerable to the cold. I'm sure it's more a case of December's assault hurting her, but it doesn't come accross that way.
You're getting better.

Ha, love how the neverborn just wade in. Shows that they're totally overpowered! Great story. I would love to see you work some more with the tyrants, and play around with them a bit more, especially Nytmare!

Interesting story over all. I like the idea, but some of the structure and spelling issues make it hard to read. I did have a little trouble following what was going on as well, but some of that may do with my being less familiar with the Cult's background.
Thanks for the story!

Playing, Learning and Working in Amsterdam's Golden Age:
Jan Luyken's Mirrors of Daily Life
September 21 - December 5, 2004, Emily Lowe Gallery
Playing, Learning, Working in Amsterdam's Golden Age: Jan Luyken's Mirrors of Daily Life features more than 110 prints and drawings from Dutch author and illustrator Jan Luyken ((1649-1712) on loan from the Amsterdams Historisch Museum in The Netherlands. The pen and ink drawings and prints come from four different "emblem" books by Jan Luyken. The images trace the human cycle from birth to death, with special attention paid to childhood, schooling, the world of daily occupations in Amsterdam's artisanal workshops, butcher shops, bakeries, industries and shipyards, life at home and customs surrounding death and dying.
Guest curator Dr. Donna R. Barnes wrote, "Luyken's graphic works transport us back in time, providing intimate glimpses into the world known by Dutch colonists who came to Nieuw Netherland in the 1600's. The daily life depicted by Jan Luyken was very familiar to those who settled on Lang Eylant (Long Island) and other communities."

As my client, I'll help you realize just how cherished you are by showing you photos of your partner, family and friends lavishing affection on you. Here are some examples of images that show people outwardly and visibly loving each other – photos that you could own of YOUR loved ones.
"Choosing a wedding photographer for our wedding was difficult for us – we have a lot of close friends who are photographers and we were looking for something very special. Once Jonathan & I saw your website, we were so certain that you were the one. We recently received the photos and we are still so stunned and overjoyed at your work. We are pleased to have such a vibrant and lovely record of our wedding day." – Jennifer and Jonathan
"Thank you so much for shooting our wedding day. You did an amazing job and everyone has been commenting on how fantastic your work is. The album is also a work of art. It tells the story so beautifully and we will proudly display it in our home for years!" – Natalie and Eli
"We had an amazing time and it was a great feeling to know that we could trust that you would capture the most important day of our lives beautifully." – Dorothy and Thomas

"Tim is exceptional. His style of photography is extremely unique and very real, which is what grabbed my attention in the first place. I felt when I looked through his photos of other weddings I actually got to know the people in the photos. Now when I see the work he did for us, he was able to portray exactly who we are so well through our photos. They feel like us. He captured such beautiful, real moments between us, my sister and I, our families and our wedding party. We could not be more thrilled with the lifelong memory he's given us." – Kristi and Shiva

10 x 1.5 x 0.5 cmHistoric note about charango: This instrument is modeled along the lines of a classic guitar, although smaller and featuring 10 strinngs. Traditionally the charango had an armadillo (Quirquincho) shell for its sound box, but today wood is more common. Ask anyone to describe the music of the Andes and they will probably mention the "little guitar instrument". They are, in fact, referring to the charango.

Only fools Russian….
I'm going to be 25 this June. I'm still single with no prospects and no dependents. I'm renting a room in an overpriced Bay Area apartment. My mom and stepdad are within "I'm crying on the phone because there's a spider in my bathtub" range. My mother was 25 years old when she had me. My mother was married; my mother owned a house and she lived further than 45 minutes away from her parents. I'd be lying if I didn't say that part of me gets overwhelmed when I think about how far behind I feel in relation to this. When I was half my age I would have told you I planned to be having my first child by now too. At 20 I would have told you I should be getting married at least around now with plans to have a child in two years or so. Now standing here at the precipice of being halfway through my twenties I feel like marriage, kids, the picket fence…they are years away—if ever.
Despite the fact that the only thing I know I can plan is for life to upset my plans, I still have all these guidelines for the love and marriage thing. The underlying strategy to these guidelines follows that old idiom "only fools rush in." Marriage would follow years of dating—children should be held off until the marriage is at least two years tested. A home should only be bought in a neighborhood that's been thoroughly vetted for these theoretical children's future education from K through 12. Definitely can't have a kid until I'm ready to simultaneously start saving for their college fund! All these well intentioned plans that are meant to keep me safe and secure and probably will ensure I never do any of the above.
At what point does this need for security become an excuse to not do any of it? Is the truth really that I'm just bloody effing terrified of these very permanent life changes? Will I ever be as brave as my mother was at my age?
I mean I say I'm focusing on my career. It's true but if I really wanted to, if I really wanted to I could set aside the money and raise a kid. I could do it. I'm physically at the right stage. I've got a real job with real future prospects. I'm just too damn selfish, too damn scared and well I would ideally like to have a life partner to raise a child with so I'm not really equipped but still…I could do it on my own. Is there an opposite phrase for "Only Fools Rush In" something like "and even bigger fools need to be pulled in kicking and screaming?" I know plenty of people who do…well the opposite of what I think should be done and they do it quite well.
Am I just making excuses hidden under the guise of wisdom? What do you think? Do you have similar "rules" for planning your future? Oddly enough this all popped into my head because sometimes when I go for a run at work I find reruns of Roseanne on and I'll watch them. As far as sitcoms go this show really was something special. It was actually clever, had continuity and managed to be thought provoking at times. It wasn't just some crass weekly potato about blue collar, white trash in Middle America. The opening is always the family seated around a dinner table, interacting and loving each other. I do have a craving for that in my life.
But until I'm ready to give up these selfish ways of my single youth, I can only supply the family meal and not the family. That's where this dish comes in—nothing screams Sunday night family dinner more than a classic from my cultural heritage: Beef Stroganoff. The Jewish side of my family comes from the Ukraine/Russia Ashkenazi tribe and despite having never been to the "mother country" I seem to have retained some sort of cultural tastebuds. My passion for fermented vegetable juices, cabbage soups, beets…not exactly American. This main course will appeal to non-Russian Jews though as it's really just a big pot of pasta, meat and creamy mushroom sauce. In fact it should appeal to everyone BUT jews since as we all know mixing dairy and meat is decidedly not-kosher. Oops. Well like I said…I'm Jewish. I don't keep Kosher year round…and I'm fairly certain Nana would approve of this meal. "If it's clean, it's Kosher"
The flavor is OFF THE CHARTS out of this world amazing. I know it's far from the healthy food I eat most of the time, but this is exactly the sort of thing I crave when I really want to indulge once in a while. It's warm and filling in your stomach. A more "Russian" approach might be to spike the sauce with vodka instead of red wine, but I guess the one thing I didn't inherit in my cultural genetics was a love for that fermented potato juice. It's just…gross. I think the red wine adds more body to the sauce–some cognac would be nice too. Play with it if you like but just remember this: it's not stroganoff without the mushrooms. Yes mushrooms. It's just not stroganoff without them.

MANCELONA -- The former Dura plant in Mancelona has a new owner.
7 & 4 News has confirmed that the current owner of the building at 310 Palmer Road, has an agreement with a company that has plans to reopen the plant. The agreement includes another former Dura plant in Lagrange Indiana.
A confidentiality agreement is keeping the details, including the exact date of sale, a secret for now. Bob Edwards with Blu North Realty in Bellaire says more details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Dura shut down operations in Mancelona in June of 2008, leaving 300 workers unemployed.
The company who sold the plant, Amash Properties LLC owns Grip On Tools in Wayland, MI. The company bought the former Dura building in December, 2010 as an investment.
7 & 4 News will continue to follow this breaking news story as more details are released.

Its me or this hero is OP?
2 nukes? xD
Hardcore player. Always improve his gameplay. Never rage against anyone than himself for being weak.
Typically people cry allready op. ;X Grave is totally OP, as are Artesia, Berzerker and all the others. x)))
For me it looks like a good idea, and if the LoL Babies come here to talk about stolen ideas of their... how can i say it nice... fastfood game so I can just laugh.
But people are people... as already Depeche Mode knew ;X
Sorry, but my english sucks! :
It's lame that he cannot throw player controlled creeps.
Less synergy ftl.
How exactly do salforis, cthulu and moraxus carry? They have practicaly 0 scalability.
Devourer (dota) is much more of a carry than the ones i named, legionnaire is tankier and more of a carry aswell, rampage is arguably a dota carry/tank aswell.
Both games have tanks, adding less or more isn't going to change their viability, and I don't think this Kinesis guy is that tanky. There are multiple heroes with defensive spells and they aren't considered tanks (chronos, antimage, etc), their tankyness is defined by their item build, their STR and AGI.
I'm pretty damn impressed. Normally I don't speak well of s2.... but this looks like a really solid hero. Good job.
Great job Viole and crew on the video. Kinesis looks extremely enjoyable to play!
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
For those that thought this was a criticism of the hero:
My OP senses are tingling...
Let's hope that he is massively item dependant, or can be shut down easy.
1. Can survive with shield.
2. Large amounts of inherent DPS.
3. Easy reveal/zero (or next to) juking possibilities with mass control picking up trees.
4. Pusher with mass control on creep waves.
5. Ganker with lift.

CEF at 25: Adopt-a-Student is one of many initiatives
"We have a new branding campaign which is being donated to us as a gift to the foundation," said Kathleen Anderson, CEF's executive director.
She noted that the foundation's newly-formed Board of Regents and the Board of Trustees are working closely together to "help us formulate our vision for the next 25 years" building on the momentum of CEF's last quarter century providing tuition assistance to low-income students seeking a Catholic education.
The Catholic Education Foundation, established by Cardinal Roger Mahony as a charitable trust in 1987, has grown from issuing 740 tuition awards out of a total of $500,000 in donations its first year to funding 8,400 students with $9.3 million in the 2011-12 school year. Another 8,000 students are wait-listed.
"We have launched in our 25th anniversary year a $100 million Legacy campaign led by Dick Riordan (L.A.'s former mayor) and inspired by a $12 million endowment gift from the Frank and Blanche Seaver Trust," said Anderson, who noted that the 18-month campaign has already raised $10 million in pledged estate endowments.
"It's the easiest thing in the world to make a gift in your will," she added. "It doesn't cost you anything now, but the long-term impact is powerful."
To balance the budget this year, she points out the foundation will have to raise $3.7 million to add to spending from its $125 million endowment to fund current CEF students. Funding all of the wait-listed students would require another $10 million in new donations.
"CEF is interested in broadening the base of our donor pyramid," explained Anderson. "Right now, 90 percent of our funds come from less than 10 percent of our donors who have been supporting us a long time. We need to get replacements in place." To that end, CEF is utilizing social media to increase awareness and provide ways for people to donate online.
"Colleen Roohan, who is a trustee and on our development committee, was the one who felt that it was important to give people the option to give online and to feel they are really making a difference in the life of a person that connects with our mission as a Catholic church to help the poor and less fortunate," said Anderson.
The "Adopt-a-Student" online option on CEF's website, www.cefdn.org, allows donors to adopt an elementary school student for $66 a month and a high school student for $125 monthly for 12 months. The website lists Catholic schools with wait-listed CEF students, and allows donors to select where their Adopt-a-Student funds will be applied.
"As the donors become more attached to the Adopt-a-Student cause and the mission of CEF, our hope is that someday they will leave us in their wills as a Legacy donor; it's never too early to start that process," said Anderson, noting that the annual donor appreciation lunch will take place at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on Feb. 29.
Other fund-raising initiatives include offering donor challenge grants to CEF-assisted schools where donors pledge to match every $1-$2 raised by school community members. In addition, CEF recipients are encouraged to contribute what they can as a way of giving back.
"We need to get the word out about the Catholic Education Foundation --- we're still the best kept secret in the archdiocese," said Anderson.

About Me
My name is Cailin and I was born and raised in New York. I've had a passion for arts and crafts since I was a little girl and beading has always been my favorite pastime. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to take the extra step from gift giving and sell my work, so here I am.
I read this quote which sums up why I love this craft so much: "jewelry making is a way of getting art off the wall and on to the body so that it can be shared, experienced and quite literally felt". I hope you enjoy wearing my creations as much as I take pleasure in making them. The beads I use have been collected over a number of years from all over the world (it's a hobby of mine). Every piece is made with care.

Randy Edmunds
Randy Edmunds, the Liberal environment and conservation critic, is questioning the provincial government's commitment to effective management of the moose population, based on the structure of ongoing moose management consultations.
Last week the province launched a series of eight public consultations with the goal of developing a five-year moose management plan.
Edmunds said he attended a consultation session in Clarenville and other Liberal members have attended other sessions, and are not satisfied that they are structured in a way to guarantee positive outcomes. "For instance, the sessions are completely focused on hunting, with little to no mention of other moose management opportunities," Edmunds said.
People taking part in the sessions are asked to submit their comments ahead of time, he said, but with four hours allocated for every meeting several viable alternatives such as public awareness, moose fencing, and identifying hot spots along our highways are not being allowed into the discussion.
"Government is only focused on hunting and effective maintenance of the moose population rather than relying on available science to explore other alternatives," said Edmunds. "With a new Minister at the helm of the Department I hope that Tom Hedderson will be pro-active in ensuring these consultations are fully inclusive. I strongly encourage the Minister to open the forum for discussion on all alternative solutions to managing our moose population."
There are five remaining public consultations, including one tonight in Labrador at the L'Anse au Clair community centre, beginning at 5:30 p.m. People interested in attending a session are asked to pre-register by calling toll-free at 1-855-637-2064 or email email@example.com.

But still. I am, I think we can agree, experienced at transatlantic flights with young children, and I decided to blog my packing. Because that's just how much I care about you guys. (Read that whichever way you will.)
The best thing about packing is my packing cubes. I've probably mentioned them before, but this time I have pictures. I have three of the "medium"(green) ones and three of the "small" (blue) ones, and between them we manage to fit most of our stuff. They're really useful for packing several people's clothes into just one or two suitcases, or keeping underwear or workout gear all in one place. If you tend to live out of your suitcases for a week rather than unpacking, they're a lifesaver.
These were my two cubes - I put regular clothes in the bigger one and underwear, etc. in the smaller one. When all zipped up, they're neat rectangles that you can squish into your suitcase as units. Thusly:
This time we travelled with one large suitcase, one slightly smaller one, and a carry-on sized thing that we also checked in. The grey one had all the kids' stuff, and the other two held a mixture of mine and B's.
This is the kids' suitcase. I put Dash's clothes into a large cube and Mabel's into a small one. I left the clothes they'd be wearing to travel in out on the spare bed, ready for the next morning, and filled in the spaces with shoes.
Then coats and all the miscellaneous stuff that actually ends up taking all the room went on top. Call me paranoid, but I usually travel with baby/kid ibuprofen, a thermometer, and Baby Vicks chest rub. I know you can buy all those things in Ireland, but not at 3am when you might suddenly be presented with a feverish and/or congested child.
The case still closed without unzipping the extendable part, which is always my aim on the outward journey. To leave room for additional things we might come home with - a consignment of grown-out-of cousins' clothes for Dash, some new boots for me, a large stuffed hedgehog, perhaps - I pack a foldable duffel bag and have an extra inch or two of depth available in both suitcases.
To pack all my own sundry accoutrements, I have an assortment of little bags. These held, clockwise from elephants, my shower scrunchie; jewellery; cotton balls and q-tips; all my most vital lotions and potions; contact lenses; scissors, tweezers, and nail clippers, because I'm always paranoid that they'll pierce the contact lense foil and ruin them all; and, um, lady things that I would be needing. The little bags get tucked in the sides and between the packing cubes, and I make sure to leave room for the larger striped one.
Then we come to hand luggage, and food. I packed a lot of nice healthy snacks this trip. How much of what you see below do you think was eaten? Oh, just the packet of mints. I henceforth swear not to bother next time. They can fend for themselves at the airport like the rest of us. (For the record, the four tubs have cheerios, pistachios, honey roasted peanuts, and pretzels. I polished off most of the peanuts yesterday, two weeks later.)
For hand luggage, I have a medium backpack that is very old but only showing it on the inside. I use a lot of gallon ziploc bags to keep things separate, and try to leave enough room that I can cram my handbag in the top and not have to tote it separately if my hands are full of small child. Here, from top left (sorry about the bad lighting), you can see the food; emergency pullups and wipes; flushable wipes to go in the most accessible pocket of the bag and be whipped out at a moment's notice; a full change of clothes for Mabel and clean underwear for me and Dash (just in case of an overnight hitch); my handbag containing wallet, camera, phone, and Irish/US money, bank cards, and sim card; and an invisible-pen coloring book for each of them, to be produced at a vital point such as upon boarding the first plane.
Oh, also, our cleverest thing. A packet of labels. If you write your destination address and phone number hand-achingly on a bunch of mailing labels - or I suppose you could even print them if you were clever with your printer - then when you are waiting to check in you can simply peel and stick them onto the luggage tags from the desk rather than frantically scribbling while leaning on someone's back and simultaneously trying to stop a child from wandering off.
This is my finished carry-on (sorry, I forgot about what a flash does). The very top pocket holds wipes and my quart-size ziplock with the few liquids I bring onboard. The two side pockets have hairbrushes and an umbrella and tissues. With the handbag inside, that's all I take and I have two hands free to carry a Mabel. When she was smaller I'd have her on my back in the Ergo, the bag on my front, and be pushing Dash in the stroller while B juggled both large cases and his own laptop-containing backpack. Awkward, but it meant we could get from plane to train in Heathrow, or wherever, without leaving anything behind.
B is in charge of all electrical items except my camera and phone (but including their chargers). Adapters, cables, voltage transformers for the baby monitor, the iPod, all associated dongles and whatsits. He used to keep all that stuff in a very plain black bag, but since it camouflaged itself into the floor of the plane once - with sad results - he's started using a small purple bag, which works quite well. We also had to pack his suit this time, of course, which was folded around everything else in the blue case.
Our luggage for this trip was rounded out with a lightweight stroller (a Maclaren Volo, swapped with a friend for our Bob for the week) and the hulking great carseat in its bag. We travelled with Mabel's carseat this time, since we'd be mostly travelling by car and could use it in the aeroplane too. (It's easy to borrow a booster for Dash at the other end, but a toddler seat is harder to find and impossible to rent.) We have a bag that holds Mabel's seat that you can pull along on wheels (like this, but more annoying), so it's not too much hassle in the airport - once I've wrestled it right way round into the bag while stuck between narrow rows of seats, trying to stop Mabel taking a dive off the next seat, kick my carry-on bag out of harm's way, and not invade anyone else's personal space. (I have no idea how anyone travels alone with one or more children. B does more than his fair share of toting, hauling, lifting, and piggybacking. But I'm the carseat expert in the family.)
If we're having a more public-transport-y vacation, we leave Mabel's carseat at home and use the CARES harness in the plane, which is infinitely more portable and has certainly been worth the money over the past five years or so between the two children, not t o mention the various friends I've lent it to.
We got back last night, after uneventful flights. With unprecedented amounts of proactivity, the cubes are already unpacked and laundry is in train. We found our fridge had decided to sit down on the job while we were gone, so most of the morning was spent scrubbing fuzzy green spots off its shelves and then taking the kids out for brunch pancakes. Today they are snot-filled and sleep deprived, fragile and easily pissed off. Nothing a few nights' sleep in their own beds and a strict diet of peanut-butter sandwiches and frozen waffles can't cure.
And the thing about packing is that there'll always be another chance to get it exactly right.

What is the most important information I should know about mechlorethamine?
Mechlorethamine should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
Serious side effects have been reported with the use of mechlorethamine including: allergic reactions (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); decreased bone marrow function and blood problems (extreme fatigue; easy bruising or bleeding; black, bloody or tarry stools; fever or chills; or signs of infection such as fever; chills, or sore throat); severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite; and others. Talk to your doctor about the possible side effects from treatment with mechlorethamine.
Mechlorethamine is highly toxic and both the powder and solution must be handled with care. Inhalation of dust or vapors and contact with skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose and mouth) must be avoided.
What is mechlorethamine?
Mechlorethamine is a cancer (antineoplastic) medication. Mechlorethamine interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their growth and spread in the body.
Mechlorethamine is used to treat several types of cancer, such as Hodgkin's Disease, lymphosarcoma, chronic myelocytic or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lung cancer and mycosis fungoides. Mechlorethamine is also used to treat certain other blood disorders (polycythemia vera) and is sometimes injected into body spaces, such as the chest, abdomen or the sack containing the heart, to stop the accumulation of fluids caused by cancer.
Mechlorethamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Who should not take mechlorethamine?
Before taking mechlorethamine, tell your doctor if you
- have had recent vaccinations;
- have any type of infection;
- have bone marrow problems;
- have had radiation or x-ray therapy; or
- have been treated with other cancer (chemotherapy) medicines.
You may not be able to take mechlorethamine, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
Mechlorethamine is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that mechlorethamine is known to cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not take mechlorethamine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. Contraceptive measures are recommended during treatment with mechlorethamine.
It is not known whether mechlorethamine passes into breast milk. Do not take mechlorethamine without first talking to your doctor if you are breast feeding a baby.
How should I take mechlorethamine?
Mechlorethamine should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
Your doctor will determine the correct amount and frequency of treatment with mechlorethamine depending upon the type of cancer being treated and other factors. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns regarding the treatment schedule.
Your doctor will probably want you to have regularly scheduled blood tests and other medical evaluations during treatment with mechlorethamine to monitor progress and side effects.
Mechlorethamine is highly toxic and both the powder and solution must be handled with care. Inhalation of dust or vapors and contact with skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose and mouth) must be avoided. Should accidental contact occur, rinse the area with water and seek emergency medical attention.
Your healthcare provider will store mechlorethamine as directed by the manufacturer.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Contact your doctor if you miss a dose of mechlorethamine injection.
What happens if I overdose?
If for any reason an overdose of mechlorethamine is suspected, seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Symptoms of a mechlorethamine overdose tend to be similar to side effects caused by the medication, although often more severe.
What should I avoid while taking mechlorethamine?
Mechlorethamine can lower the activity of your immune system making you susceptible to infections. Avoid contact with people who have colds, the flu, or other contagious illnesses and do not receive vaccines that contain live strains of a virus (e.g., live oral polio vaccine) during treatment with mechlorethamine. In addition, avoid contact with individuals who have recently been vaccinated with a live vaccine. There is a chance that the virus can be passed on to you.
Mechlorethamine is highly toxic and both the powder and solution must be handled with care. Inhalation of dust or vapors and contact with skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose and mouth) must be avoided.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Lena Callender was totally convinced her grandson was sitting in a jail in Mexico City and desperately needed her help.
She tells us, "He could be one of those beheaded guys and the body just thrown on the side of the road."
Lena says the caller claimed to be an attorney with the U.S. Embassy. He knew her grandson's name and even let her speak to someone claiming to be her grandson.
She was told if she wired $2,400 to Mexico City and didn't tell anyone, he'd get home safely.
Lena says, "I thought I was a smart woman until I hooked up with these people and I found out just how slick they were."
Later, Lena was asked for even more money and became suspicious.
She called her grandson and learned he was just fine.
And the phone calls were coming from Canada.
We've warned you about the grandparent scam before. Here's what's new.
Crooks are getting smarter. They're discovering grandkids' names and other pieces of info from search engines like Google and from social media sites like Facebook.
So if you're going on vacation don't make it public.
Con artists can use your postings against you.
Also, they're now telling victims to wire money directly to their grandkids...Using the grandkids' names. Then they use fake ID's to pick up the cash.
Seniors should ignore the warning not to tell anyone. They should also call and check on their grandkids.
Seniors should ask the callers some detailed questions that only family members knows.
And get the names and numbers of the officials demanding money. If they refuse to give it to you, you know it's a scam.
Keeping those new tactics in mind might save you from becoming a victim.
