Is there some way to log into a remote computer as if you were actually sitting in front of it? I don't mean just to view it's shared files and folders, I mean to see it's full desktop, icons and all, and have the keyboard and mouse function as if they were connected directly to the remote machine? Looking to do this over a LAN.
Configuration? Utility? Other Software?
Suggestions appreciated, RN
pcAnywhere works over LAN as well as the internet.
win XP has remote control built in (have not tried this yet but plan to.
there is some freeware remote control s/w available.
VNC is a great program for remotely controlling a PC. And, it's FREE!Here are a couple links to different versions of VNC...http://www.realvnc.com/http://www.tightvnc.com/Good luck, Josh Fitzgerald
Read up on both versions, downloaded TightVNC, installed the full version on all three machines (1 Win 95, 1 Win 98, 1 WinXPHome), and bingo!
Small file download, simple installation, NO configuration, it took care of everything. LAN/Workgroup was already set-up, VNC detected and used IP addresses and host names.
Even the little things like icon "flyovers" work. Big things too, like launching and manipulating programs, just as if you were sitting at the remote keyboard. Doesn't even seem to realize it's dealing with three OS's, completely transparent. Changes, typing, etc. at either machine are displayed on both machines in real time.
Yes, there are drawbacks..... it is quite slow to repaint pages, even across a LAN running at/or near 100M. And it resets the remote desktop wallpaper for some reason (may be some tweaking necessary), but it easily resets in properties and then stays for the session.
Will have to do some follow up at the VNC homepages to work out a few details, but so far......it's a weiner!
Thanks Josh....
Oh, and by the way it really is FREE!!!!!!!

I'm glad it worked out for you and that you like it so much.
So did you try the good old Remote Desktop from Windows XP? it always worked for me (although it doesn't support 32-bit color with alpha channel) but it does the trick and it's quite fast because most of the processing occurs in the remote machine and does not have to be transferred over via the LAN connection. Drawback is that you need XP Pro on your machine.
Vista also has it but I haven't tested it and I'm not sure it runs on my Home Premium computer.
try logmein, VNC. If your helping other try crossloop or teamviewer

What about Akira?
We haven't gotten to Akira yet! Good choice. My oldest is sixteen now and he just asked me if it was okay to watch "Thelma & Louise." I said yes. He's sixteen. I think the barn door to protecting him from adult situations is wide open..
Yeah, it's pretty much all downhill from there. From now on, you'll be learning about the seedy underbelly of life from him rather than the other way around.
Enjoy the ride!
I now they are not truly SF movies, but for her I would start with Studio Ghibli movies, like Totoro.
youngest is 10 and has a friend who pretty much watches what he likes. Makes it very difficult to tell him that he shouldn't watch something when his friend is telling him about it at school.
However will regularly sit down and watch Cartoon Network with him and he has watched new Dr Who with me.
depends what sort of films you are looking for. If it is just for the wonder of space, I suggest a classic, 2001
turn it off when you get to the bit with the monolith at the end as it gets all psychedelic, but the space travel scenes were really accurate.
A favourite in our house was "short Circuit" ("Number 5 is alive, no disassemble Number 5!")
"Moon" is a great techno suspense film, and delves into the whole "If you rely on media for your life, are you truly alive?" question.
If you are into Zombies, I believe "Zombieland" is quite amusing.
Interestingly, Short Circuit was a favorite of the girls in the house. :)
Here's a spread of classic to modern films which are suitable for a 14 year old boy if he's willing to see movies that aren't too violent and gory....
The Day the Earth Stood Still (original)
Planet of the Apes (original)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
20 Million Miles to Earth
The Abyss
This Island Earth
Mothra (and a lot of the other Kaiju movies)
Soylent Green
Invaders from Mars (orginal)
Mars Attacks
Fantastic Voyage
War of the Worlds (original)
Robinson Crusoe on Mars
Forbidden Planet
The Day of the Triffids
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Colossus: the Forbin Project
The Time Machine (Rod Taylor version)
The Circus of Dr. Lao (not strictly SF, but fun)
Creature From the Black Lagoon
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Fun story with the original Planet of the Apes. My husband watched that with my son and the husband said the best part was when he watched my son absorb the twist ending.
There needs to be a separate list of the films you must show your kids before showing them Spaceballs, so they'll appreciate it.
At least Star Wars and Alien. Although they might not get that last reference fully unless they've seen classic Looney Tunes.
Aww, hell. I guess it doesn't really matter.
Is it possible that this is the first reference to Star Wars - (1978)? My kids are easily freaked out, so I haven't shown them this yet, mostly due to the Vader Captain Antilles throat-crush, the hand chopping, and the string of exploding X and Y wing pilots, which gets a bit dark (poor, poor Porkins). But I've already purchased the original, Han shooting-first, digital effects-free version, which will be the first Star Wars film they see if if freakin' kills me. I can't wait to show this soon.
(grumble grumble Jar Jar Binks grumble)
The original is the first one my kids watched but I think there were about 9 or so. We had the VHS tapes of the original Han-shooting-first movies.
They loved it. They were less fond of the sequels.

Stuffing BallsPosted Thursday, November 20, 2008, at 12:05 PM
Another good one for your parties or get together
First stuffing recipe I use but if you like another one better use it. Stuffing 1 Quart milk 1 Stick of butter or margarine 1 TBsp coarsely ground pepper 1 Tsp salt 1 Tsp Sage 12 ounce package seasoned dressing/stuffing mix 1 Small onion diced 4 or 5 Sticks celery diced 1 Large Egg 1 Package Bacon for making the stuffing balls Heat the milk, butter, sage, pepper, salt in a sauce pan on low heat until the butter is melted While the milk mixture is being heated go ahead and put the rest of it together and whisk the Egg in a small dish Put all the indgrients in a bowl. Once the milk is warm pour a small amount onto the mixture and then add the egg and more milk and stir. You may not need all the milk just have to keep the mixture stirred until you get the moisture content you want for the stuffing Once your stuffing is ready it helps to chill it before making the stuffing balls Cut your bacon strips in half, and I use a cookie scoop for the size of the stuffing and place it on the bacon strips. Then wrap the bacon around the stuffing until it over lap's a bit then insert a tooth pick thru the bacon until it comes out the other side Place the balls on a large baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour turning over once half way thru the baking Hope I put this all in right so you can easly understand it, very simple snack for your party Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] I'm definitely going to make these for Thanksgiving, Joe; thanks a lot. I have new recipe for roasting the turkey, it does not include any stuffing at all. So these will come in handy. -- Posted by senior lady on Fri, Nov 21, 2008, at 4:00 PM

==> Play Sburb
A Homestuck Roleplay
You wake up to the same dull and boring life you always have lead, yet you have a strange hunch that today is going to be slightly less dull and boring. You can't quite put your finger on it, that is until you stare at your calendar. Today, on the 13th of April, you are expecting a package to arrive in the mail. A package containing your long awaited copy of the Sburb Beta. You and your group of internet buddies have been awaiting this for months, and now you all have the chance to play the game of a lifetime. Sburb is the next level in reality simulators. Once a connection is established between the player and their server player (Another user who operates the games in-built systems and functions), the game lets you manipulate the reality around you. You can't wait to see the unlimited potential of your youthful creativity, as well as being able to see into the lives of your internet friends for the first time. When you think of all the fun you're going to have, the consequences of initiating a Sburb session don't even seem to bother you.
That's right, the consequences. Unfortunately the manufacturers of Sburb seemed to have left out a little warning of what the game has install for you. Prolonged exposure to Sburb can cause headaches, nausea, the apocalypse, property damage and stern fatherly disapproval. Did I stutter? I said the apocalypse. Yes, you and your friends just ended the world, congratulations. Don't worry though, it happens to the best of us. Somehow, this wasn't worth the months long wait. Don't worry though, because Sburb has many built in functions that will probably help you escape impending doom. So say 'sayonara' to this floating rock in the middle of space because the countdown has started and the real game is about to begin.
The Sylladex
a Sylladex is a compact inventory most people use to carry around multiple items at once. This is represented by two decks of cards; the Captchalogue Modus, letting you carry around everyday objects inside the Captchalogue Cards. The Strife Specibus is a deck which holds groups of weapons, allowing them to quickly be drawn when needed. Sylladex's are optional, but the Captchalogue and Strife Specibus cards interact with many of the Sburb gadgets which are provided by your server player. Every card has a distinct code on the back of it, copying down the code and sending it to another player will allow them to alchemize the object placed inside that card. Strangely enough, your copy of the Sburb Beta came with a punched captchalogue card. A punched card means that the object inside cannot be retrieved, but can be duplicated with alchemy. Whatever you do, do not lose this card.
Server Players
Every character in this roleplay is going to be the server player to another character, this is inevitable. A server player is absolutely essential in helping your buddies survive the end of the world. Once characters are made we can decide the server players for one another. Essentially, the server player has full access to the reality of their pals home and is responsible for converting the grist (Think material/mineral) their player collects into either cool new gadgets the game provides or use it to create building blocks in which to expand their players environment. The main gadgets a server player is responsible for deploying are;
The Cruxtruder - A device in which the server player can deploy immediately. When activated by the player, the Cruxtruder produces a Cruxite dowel which can be shaped and used in the alchemization process. The player can make as many of these Cruxite Dowels, which usually appear as a brightly colored cylinder, as they want. Additionally, when first activated the Cruxtruder will produce a Kernelsprite; a glowing orb that follows around the player making inaudible noises. The Kernelsprite must be protoyped by either yourself or your server player. Prototyping the Kernelsprite means to throw any object or living being into it to create your Sprite, which will come into player later. Also, once the Cruxtruder is activated a countdown will begin on it, usually signifying when your area will be impacted by the apocalypse. This is your timer, you and your server player need to cooperate together to save you before this runs out.
Totem Lathe - A device which is used to carve Cruxite Dowels into various shapes. Once a pre-punched Captchalogue card is placed in the device, as well as a Dowel, the device will carve the dowel based on the punch holes in the card. The carved Cruxite Dowels can be used in combination with the Alchemiter to alchemize weapons, outfits and other items for the player to use.
Alchemiter - A large device consisting of a small pedestal and then a large circular platform. When a carved Cruxite Dowel is placed onto the pedestal, the device scans it and creates an object through alchemy. Some objects will cost Grist to alchemize.
The Incisphere
The dimension Sburb allows its players to escape to once the end of their world has begun. It consists of The Medium, an empty void of space where the players individual planets dwell. At the center of the Medium is Skaia, where the battlefield between the White and Black kingdom resides. The White Kingdom resides on Prospit, a golden planet that orbits Skaia and is ruled by the White Queen. The Black Kingdom resides on Derse, a dark planet that rests near the furthest ring of the Medium. Any player who is destined to enter the Incisphere is born with a Dream Self, which rests on one of these two planets. Prospit Dreamers are able to look into the clouds of Skaia, which give vague foresight into the future. Derse Dreamers are able to hear the whispers of the Horroterrors, beings who live beyond the furthest ring and offer advice to players.
Upon entering the Medium, every player is given their own planet. The name and environment of the planet depend on the players Classpect and personality. An example of a planets name is John's planet from the comic - the Land of Wind and Shade. Most planets follow this naming format. This is where your house is transported to when you enter the Medium. Upon entering, the Sprite you prototyped will begin to act as your guide, informing you of what must be done. The enemies you find on your planet will have a similar form to the thing you prototyped (So if you prototype your cat, the enemies will appear as felines).
The role you play in the story, usually taking the form of The X of Y (E.G. The Heir of Breath, The Witch of Space etc). For more details on choosing your Classpect for your character, please feel free to browse this post. Let me also say here that if another roleplayer uses a certain Aspect or Class for their characters role, that does NOT mean you aren't allowed to use that for your character. We can have more than 1 Space player if you want, or more than 1 Knight, don't go out of your way to change your character because someone is already using a Class or an Aspect for theres. At least try and keep it diverse.
Alright, so a lot of the above information is mainly here because I assume anyone who has read homestuck has forgotten a lot of these little details that were in the first and second acts. It's also for the benefit of roleplayers who aren't very big fans of the comic but still want to be apart of this roleplay. Some of it is probably missing or inaccurate, and I'm sorry for that but even with the help of Mspaint wiki it's still really hard to get all of it down. Essentially, the premise for this roleplay is very similar to the start of homestuck. Us, the roleplayers, will play a bunch of internet buddies (Relationship statuses can vary depending on characters, we don't ALL have to be total strangers). To keep it simple; we play the game, end the world, oops, we help save each others ass and get into the medium. I'm not gonna lie, the first part of this roleplay may be very standard, no big action packed plot twists or anything like that. Our first priority IC should be to save each other as well as a little character interaction here and there.
We can start the roleplay assuming that everyone already knows what they need to do to enter the medium, since idk how many people are gonna sign up for this so I don't want it to take too long. But we can have some dramas here and there (One of you can play the dimwit who accidently throws his punched card out the window or has his mail stolen by an annoying sibling). It should be obvious that there won't be any God Tiers at the start, but we can get to that. If you don't know what a God Tier is, you'll learn eventually.
Hopefully some of you will be interested in this, I've just had the urge to be in a homestuck roleplay for a while. Unfortunately I was preoccupied with other stuff these pasts months and wasn't able to roleplay. But now I'm free and I wanna get this started. I know the premise isn't very interesting, but I assure you that stuff will happen.

Well dan for me it would be illumina cause that chic looks awesome and would be really cool in figure form.
Quote from: Vadersfist on July 20, 2012, 10:10:07 PMWell dan for me it would be illumina cause that chic looks awesome and would be really cool in figure form.She does look cool but would be 3rd for me cuz she is kind of obscureDid you get the sub for 2013? Sounds like day of sale purchases are gonna be dang near impossible for some figures.
I thought 22 was too much! But I know that even at 27 I'll be looking to get the figures I missed on EBay for more. So I subbed up for the first time and will pay the 25 I guess. Thing is with hasbro strangling the star wars toy selection and their crappy distribution, I get more excited about Motuc than star wars anymore.
Great the 1st year I subscribe and the Motuc line may not get enough people to continue
The other problem is Mattel is making ridiculous figure choices.As with the Vikron character from Comic Con.I saw that the space version actually sold out.The figures everyone wants they tend to put at the bottom of the list.here are a few examples:PhotogSir Laser lotGreyskull manThere where some more obscure figures which I can't remember.I know the ones I listed were fan created.
DD I really liked the way the fighting foe looked but the star sisters where eh no thank you. The fighting foe are just different with some vehicle inspired taste that I kind of like. I don't like the cost though thats for sure. I just hope that Rammy doesn't sell out to ALL the sub guys cause thanks to THE EARLY ACCESS crap that Matty is doing thats what I am afraid is what is going to happen. I am totally NOT happy with the way Matty is handling the 2013 figures already.

Well the news just keeps getting worse for Keith Raniere and his NXIVM devotees.
Not only is the 4 part Times Union series "Secrets of NXIVM: The untold story of Keith Raniere," comparing Raniere to David Koresh
"Ross was asked to provide insight on David Koresh to the federal government during the height of the Waco situation and says Raniere shows characteristics similar to Koresh.
Like the infamous leader of the Branch Davidians, Ross said, Raniere thinks he knows a way to reorder human existence, believes he is on the cutting edge of the new wave of the future, has followers who see him as a savior and uses his position of power to gain sexual favors from women."
Along with the revelation in the series that Raniere is a serial pedophile whose actions either directly or indirectly led to the death of a beautiful young girl under extremely violent circumstances, we now have a new lawsuit that seeks damages against the cult leader's lawyers and other named leading figures in his cult.
Now Raniere nemeses Joe O'Hara is suing multiple defendants for
1.Damages for a civil conspiracy to harm him
2. Punitive damages claiming a willful and malicious civil conspiracy to harm him
3.Damages for violating his civil rights
4. Punitive damages claiming a willful and malicious violation of his civil rights
5. Damages for violating his constitutional right to privacy
7. Damages for retaliation toward a whistleblower
9. Damages for copyright violations
10. Punitive damages claiming willful and malicious copyright violations
11.Damages for infliction of severe emotional, mental and physical distress.
13. Damages for defamation of character
But what is unique to this suit I believe is the naming of Steve "The MAN" Coffey as a defendants along with
Lippo Pam Nichols
That means boys and girls that the monetary gravy train for this Albanian predatory law firm is cut off. Being named as defendants precludes them for being hired by the Bronfman brats as $600 an hour attorneys for this suit. In fact Coffey will be forced to hire outside council himself and I hear E., Steward Jones don't come cheap. Funny shit.
And O'Hare goes on to names a entire assemblage of NXIVM trainers and bigwigs.Find your name on this list you might just want to retain an attorney. Lie with dogs,well you know what I mean. Full Exhibit HERE
just click name to enlarge

The Most Disturbing Fact About the U.S. Economy Today
There's a question no one wants to ask, but it's time we do: What happens to the U.S. economy if American consumers get so financially strapped that they stop spending money? You see, it's a well-known fact that 70% of the U.S economy depends on consumer spending. If consumer spending slips, it will weaken the [...] Now imagine what that will do to the U.S. economy...

SW Florida, Corbett, and Brier Segment
Construction on this segment of the project is complete.
What to Expect During Construction
- Construction will create noise, vibration and dust and disrupt normal neighborhood activity.
- Parking is prohibited in the work zone.Traffic congestion in the area will increase and you may experience delays in getting to your destination.
- There may be periods of inactivity between construction phases.
- A city construction inspector will be on-site during work hours. If you have an immediate need during construction, the on-site inspector may be able to assist you.
Let us know if you have concerns such as business operations, disability issues or medical or business deliveries.
Construction Method
The city's contractor is using open trench construction. There are several steps, and there may be periods of inactivity between the steps.
- Saw cutting of pavement
- Open trench installation of main line and temporary patch paving
- Installing lateral service lines and storm inlets from the mainline to the curb
- Removing temporary paving and replacing with permanent paving. This step is weather dependent.

Castle Architecture
Learning a few terms will enhance your experience among Europe's medieval fortresses
- By Rick Steves
- Smithsonian.com, December 01, 2009, Subscribe
A castle is a fortified residence for a medieval noble. Castles come in all shapes and sizes, but knowing a few general terms will help you understand them.
The Keep (or Donjon): A high, strong stone tower in the center of the castle complex that was the lord's home and refuge of last resort.
Great Hall: The largest room in the castle, serving as throne room, conference center, and dining hall.
The Yard (or Bailey or Ward): An open courtyard inside the castle walls.
Loopholes: Narrow slits in the walls (also called embrasures, arrow slits, or arrow loops) through which soldiers could shoot arrows at the enemy.
Towers: Tall structures serving as lookouts, chapels, living quarters, or the dungeon. Towers could be square or round, with either crenellated tops or conical roofs.
Turret: A small lookout tower projecting up from the top of the wall.
Moat: A ditch encircling the wall, often filled with water.
Wall Walk (or Allure): A pathway atop the wall where guards could patrol and where soldiers stood to fire at the enemy.
Parapet: Outer railing of the wall walk.
Crenellation: A gap-toothed pattern of stones atop the parapet.
Hoardings (or Gallery or Brattice): Wooden huts built onto the upper parts of the stone walls. They served as watch towers, living quarters, and fighting platforms.
Machicolation: A stone ledge jutting out from the wall, fitted with holes in the bottom. If the enemy was scaling the walls, soldiers could drop rocks or boiling oil down through the holes and onto the enemy below.
Barbican: A fortified gatehouse, sometimes a stand-alone building located outside the main walls.
Drawbridge: A bridge that could be raised or lowered, using counterweights or a chain-and-winch.
Portcullis: A heavy iron grille that could be lowered across the entrance.
Postern Gate: A small, unfortified side or rear entrance used during peacetime. In wartime, it became a "sally-port" used to launch surprise attacks, or as an escape route.

Testing the Locks: Validating Security in a Linux Environment
The second set of locks to validate is on your network. Any comprehensive security assessment must include validation of your network's correct operation. There is no better way to validate this than by simple observation. The first tool to use for this is the Wireshark network protocol analyzer. Wireshark puts your network card in promiscuous mode and captures any traffic broadcast on your local network segment. It may be necessary to take samples on different parts of your network or use span ports to get a good representation of normal traffic.
To start the program, open a terminal inside the VM and type wireshark. Once open, click on the Capture menu and then on Interfaces. On the Interface options window, click Start next to eth0 to start the capture (Figure 3). If you use something other than the BackTrack VM to run Wireshark, you might select a different interface. Click on the Capture menu again, and then click Stop to end the capture. When finished, save the capture to a file. I recommend that you take captures of no less than five minutes at random times during the day. The capture files will be big (longer capture = bigger file) if you have a busy network, but in my experience, five minutes is enough for most small-to-medium networks. Scan the capture files to identify unusual traffic, and validate any network-level policies you may have in place. For example, many networked printers, by default, broadcast NetBIOS for discovery on Windows networks, but you may not allow NetBIOS traffic on your network. Captures also can help find rogue-user PCs or VMs running without approval. Many people are surprised the first time they run a capture. The shortcoming of captures is the time required to analyze them. That is where our second network tool, Snort, comes in.
Snort is many things, but traditionally it's used as an intrusion-detection system (IDS). An IDS patterns network traffic against a database of known attack signatures to alert administrators to potential intrusions. Unlike Wireshark, Snort aggregates and analyzes the data it collects providing a thousand-foot view of the network. When using Snort, you should be aware of two things: IDSes are sensitive to false positives, and they do not alert on normal traffic. Snort is useful as an assessment tool, because it can tell you whether there are any major problems on your network in a short amount of time.
The BackTrack team conveniently has packaged Snort with the BASE Web front end in the distribution. From the KDE menu, select Services→Snort→Setup and Initialize Snort. You will be prompted by the setup script to enter root and Snort user passwords for MySQL in order to create the needed tables. At the end of the script, open a Web browser and enter http://youripaddress/base/base_db_setup.ph, and on the page that loads, click on the Create Base AG button. Now, click on the Main Page link (Figure 4) to access alert information. Unlike Wireshark, Snort should be run over a longer period of time (more than 24 hours in most cases) to provide a good sampling of network data.
The third set of locks to test is found in the operating systems and applications on your network or, more specifically, in the vulnerabilities that exist on them. A reasonable approach to finding these vulnerabilities is to perform one or more broad vulnerability scans across the network, followed by any application-specific scans for our critical apps. Let's use the Security Administrator's Integrated Network Tool (SAINT) as our primary scanner.
SAINT normally allows only two IP addresses for scanning for 15 days, but BackTrack users can use up to ten IP addresses for up to a year by using the registration page found under the KDE menu: BackTrack→Vulnerability Identification→SAINT Exploit→SAINT Exploit License. From this Web page, click the Get License button at the bottom of the page and provide the necessary information on the registration page. Proceed with registration, and generate a key for use with the scanner. Once the key has been entered on the VM, launch SAINT from the same KDE folder as the License link, but click on the SAINT link instead. This launches the Web front end. Click the Scan Set-Up tab. Enter the IP addresses or range you want to scan (Figure 5). Under the Scanning Level section, check off Exhaustive and Full Port Scan. In the Firewall section, select No Firewall Support. You can play with any of these options to tailor the scans to your needs. Click Scan Now at the bottom of the page when finished. The results are displayed when the scan is finished (Figure 6). You should review and document the scan results, and wherever possible, remediate discovered vulnerabilities.
This broad scan with SAINT should be followed up with more specific scans against your most valuable (and therefore juicier targets) machines. As an example, let's scan a Web server using another tool found on BackTrack, Nikto. Nikto is a mature, simple scanning tool and an excellent resource for locking down a Web server. Assuming you have a Web server in your environment, launch a Nikto shell from the VM under the KDE menu BackTrack→Penetration→All→Nikto2, and from the resulting shell, type:
nikto.pl -h yourwebserveripaddresshere
As you can see, the output is straightforward and can be redirected to a file easily for later analysis (Figure 7). As with SAINT, you should follow up this scan by documenting the results and fixing any discovered issues.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Officials with Florida Forestry Service's Blackwater District are asking residents in Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties to use caution if they decide to burn yard waste in the near future.
After the severe drought experienced throughout Florida this summer, residents planning to burn yard debris need to take extra precautions before lighting any fire. While there has been a recent increase in rainfall that has helped reduce the dangers, Northwest Florida currently sits among the highest regions in the state in terms of wildfire danger and drought severity.
"Our region still is dry, there are still many factors that could lead to a well-intentioned backyard burn turning into a major wildfire," said Tom Ledew, Center Manager for Blackwater River State Forest. "Folks still need to be very careful and very cautious when it comes to burning yard waste right now."

When a gunman opened fire inside a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school Friday, he cut short 26 lives. Six women who worked at Sandy Hook Elementary were killed, in addition to 20 students -- 12 girls and eight boys.
Here are details about their lives:
Charlotte Bacon, 6
Charlotte was sweet, outgoing and full of energy, her grandmother told CNN affiliate WCCO in Minnesota.
"This is tough. This is surreal. You can't believe this could happen," Irene Hagen told the station. "The whole family is just devastated and we're all trying to come to terms with it."
She said her granddaughter loved school and dresses. Her hair was a mass of beautiful red curls.
"It's horrible. It's really horrible," Hagen told WCCO. "It's hard to believe that someone would kill children, innocent children."
Daniel Barden, 7
Daniel earned his missing two front teeth, his family used to say. His "fearless" pursuit of happiness and life also earned him ripped jeans.
"Despite that, he was, as his mother said, 'Just So Good,' " his family wrote in a statement published in the New Haven Register.
Taking after his musician dad, he and his siblings -- brother James and sister Natalie -- formed a band, in which he played drums.
He loved to ride waves at the beach and make s'mores around bonfires with his cousins.
"He embodied everything that is wholesome and innocent in the world," the family said.
Rachel D'Avino, 29
She likely didn't know it when she died, but her best friend was about to propose.
He had recently asked D'Avino's parents for permission, and he was planning to ask for her hand in marriage on Christmas Eve.
That and other details about D'Avino's life were described in an obituary posted on the website of Munson-Lovetere Funeral Homes of Connecticut.
"Her presence and tremendous smile brightened any room she entered," it read.
Born in Waterbury, she received her undergraduate degree from the University of Hartford and her master's from Post University. She was working toward her doctorate at the University of St. Joseph of Hartford.
Rachel loved karate, cooking, animals, photography and her two younger siblings.
"Her passion, however, was her occupation as a behavioral therapist working with children within the autism spectrum," the obituary read.
In lieu of flowers, it asked that donations be made to Autism Speaks, an advocacy organization.
Olivia Engel, 6
Her favorite stuffed animal was a lamb; pink and purple were her favorite colors.
Olivia's family posted a statement on Facebook with those and other details about their beloved daughter.
"She was insightful for her age and had a great sense of humor. She laughed a lot and always lit up a room including the people around her. She was very creative and was always drawing and designing things," her family said.
Olivia took art and dance lessons, played tennis, soccer and swam. She was involved in Girl Scouts and musical theater. She loved school and did well in math and reading.
Her family described her as a "grateful child ... never greedy." Each night, Olivia led grace at the dinner table.
Josephine Gay, 7
Josephine had just celebrated her seventh birthday Tuesday. There's a picture of her on the Web, published in various news stories, that shows her smiling with glasses on the tip of her nose.
Josephine liked to ride her bike and sell lemonade in her neighborhood in the summer, The Wall Street Journal reported. The little girl loved the color purple.
Dylan Hockley, 6
"To know him was to love him," Dylan's grandmother told the Boston Herald about her grandson.
Dylan loved video games, jumping on a trampoline, watching movies and munching garlic bread, she said. He had dimples, blue eyes and "the most mischievous little grin," Theresa Moretti told the newspaper.
She said her daughter and son-in-law moved to Connecticut from England and chose to live where they did because of the schools. Dylan had an older brother.
"He was an angel," Moretti told the Herald. "And I think that's now why he's in heaven."
Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, 47
Hochsprung, who became Sandy Hook Elementary School's principal two years ago, was "really nice and very fun, but she was also very much a tough lady in the right sort of sense," friend Tom Prunty said. And the students loved her. "Even little kids know when someone cares about them, and that was her," he said.
"I never saw her without a smile," said Aimee Seaver, the mother of a first-grader.
Hochsprung lived in Woodbury, Connecticut, with her husband, two daughters and three stepdaughters.
The longtime career educator majored in special education for her bachelor's and master's degrees in the 1990s and entered the Ph.D. program at Esteves School of Education at the Sage Colleges in New York last summer. Hochsprung led a school district's strategic planning panel and was the recipient of a national school grant.
Her accomplishments included overseeing the installation of a new security system requiring every visitor to ring the front entrance's

Actor With an Attitude
2012 Guild Audio Production - Actor With an Attitude (Felicity's Toupée)
On Thursday, the Guild students and master teachers gathered to collaborate together and create an audio drama. The students were able to put into practice skills that had been learned during the first three days of the Guild, and had the opportunity to actually work alongside the masters in creating an actually drama.
After brainstorming with the entire group to get ideas for the story, Kathy Buchanan took her writing team out and together they worked on creating a unique script that would both entertain and teach lessons. Meanwhile, Todd Busteed began auditioning students for the various roles, and talked about how he chose the various voices, helping students think about directing and casting actors.
When Kathy's team returned with the script, the recording process began! Todd recorded the voices, and then started adding sound effects while John Campbell worked on creating a beautiful piece of music to tie it all together. Watching the audio drama come to life before our very eyes, and seeing Todd, John, and Kathy all working together was a once in a lifetime experience! In the end, and after hours of collaboration between students and masters, we had created a meaningful, beautiful, audio drama!
An attitude of entitlement often springs up in our hearts when we are blessed with success and influence. But the most profound insights and wise perspectives often come out of the 'mouths of babes'. In this short drama, an actor with an 'attitude' learns humility through an unexpected token of grace. Along the way, the creative collaboration of Guild masters and teachers provides moments of humorous word-play and comedic relief that open the hearts of the listeners to the underlying spiritual themes of grace and redemption, humility and meekness, forgiveness and love. The 2012 Lamplighter Guild is proud to present, An Actor With an Attitude or Felicity's Toupée!
Picture Perfect
The Secrets of Creating an Audio Drama Unveiled!
On Day Four of the 2011 Lamplighter Guild for Creative Disciplines, students, instructors, and staff convened for a "crash course" in how the moving parts of an audio drama all come into existence and then fit into the final product.
John Fornof led the charge as Scriptwriter and Producer by "crowd sourcing" the storyline from the Guild attendees in the audience. Students called out ideas for interesting and quirky characters which John then feverishly wrote down to eventually produce a long list of funny, sad, tragic, and hopeful character possibilities to star in this new drama. He then began to put into action much of what he had been teaching all week by showing us how to create a story outline and eventually the final script that would soon be provided to the actors.
John was then sent away to work furiously on the final script while the group proceeded on with one of the highlights of the day -- auditions! Led by the acclaimed writer, actor, director, producer, and casting director Philip Glassborow, the auditions went fast. Many people volunteered and displayed an astounding amount of very promising talent. Even our "chipmunks in a watering can" were superbly acted and very entertaining! Auditions were carefully recorded and cataloged "on the fly" by the wonderfully talented Todd Busteed - our Audio Production instructor. Once the auditions were complete, the hardest part began... selecting the actors.
Selecting the actors was a grueling task because of the immense amount of talent that "showed up" during auditions. But eventually the actors to play the needed roles were finally selected and the next stage of the process began just as John Fornof was delivering the final script.
Todd Busteed was at the helm of the recording rig as Philip Glassborow directed the actors in warm ups, line delivery, dialogue, etc. Each of the actors performed their parts wonderfully... and in front of a live audience, too! Parts were gradually recorded, each take being cataloged for future reference, and we moved through the script at a nice steady pace. Meanwhile...
While much of this was going on, you would have likely seen John Campbell, our immensely talented music composer, bobbing his head underneath a set of headphones as he began to work out themes and music beds that would be needed for the finished product. We wouldn't be able to hear what was being worked on until the dialogue was completed.
When the actors finished their final lines to a round of enthusiastic applause, the work of editing the voiceover tracks and placing them in Pro Tools began. Now Todd donned the headphones and John Campbell "took the stage" to demonstrate what he had been working on and how he had arrived at his final pieces. He showed us how he developed a theme for the characters and worked it into the music beds he would create. Using just a midi controller keyboard and Logic Pro, John was able to create a fully scored drama that fit our script perfectly. Later he would take music cues from the script and create small clips of music to provide movement and nuance to the final mix and to enhance the telling of the story.
Once again, John C. huddled under his headphones to continue working while Todd gave us a crash course in recording Foley - sound effects like footsteps, cloth movement, etc. This is a critical process in the story because it's what brings the story to life and makes it believable. Students were called on to go in search of items that might make specific sounds needed for the sound design. Group "walla" was then recorded for specific scenes by having a group of 20+ people walk by a set of microphones chatting and talking as if they were entering a church for a wedding. (Later this would be mixed into the background to provide the sound of a crowd.) Once Foley and wall was recorded, music was "flown in" from John C. and the whole drama began to take shape as dialogue, music, and sound effects were all layered in together. Finishing touches like reverb, mix automation, compression, and EQ were added as needed and then the final mix was complete. We listened intently to the final product and applauded all of those involved who then took a bow!
On Friday morning, in the closing session, we listened as a group to the final mix of our drama and finished it with a standing ovation!

Hello Victoria,
I hope that all the books you read are exciting and satisfy your thirst for adventure.
Sometimes I miss the characters from a good book and will reread it, and occasionally a book progresses much too fast and I hate to finish it.
You have an interesting shelf.
Dracula: Hearts of Stone (Dracula is a good guy)
See Dracula in a different light. His heart has changed as the centuries have gone by; he's suicidal and Piers Anthony (the author) tries hard to snap him out of his funk so that he can help save the world from the evil vampires.
