Yahoo rolls out redesigned homepage
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Design, Internet
Yahoo is rolling out its redesigned homepage today, as promised by CEO Marissa Mayer in a blog post last Wednesday. In it, Mayer wrote that the newly designed landing page will be more "intuitive and personal." The redesign was tested in January, and now will start rolling out to everyone "over the next few days." The new page is more streamlined than ever, giving more prominence to Yahoo's most notable services: email, news, finance and sports. What's more, Yahoo now has a stream in the vein of Twitter. The stream has an infinite stream of news, as well as social features such as the ability to see content recommended by Facebook friends.

Transporter collaborative data sharing storage device now shipping
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Corporate News, Internet, Storage
The Transporter is a private data sharing and storage device from the folks at Connected Data, a team comprised of many of the same folks who worked on the Drobo. It's able to communicate with every other Transporter device, anywhere in the world, elimination the need for a third-party cloud storage solution for any files stored. Even more impressive? The Transporter is a Kickstarter project that is actually shipping on time - just 20 days after the end of its massively successful campaign. Compare that to other Kickstarter hardware projects, and you'll see just how impressive this is. You can pick up a Transporter with no drive for $199, a model with a 1 TB drive for $299, or a 2 TB version for $399. Hit the break for a video explaining how it all works.

Google Fiber to bring 1000 Mbps speeds, TV, free Internet to Kansas City
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Google, Home Entertainment, Internet
Today Google finally took the wraps off of its long-awaited Google Fiber service. Focusing on Kansas City, Google Fiber is both an Internet service and television service, and Google showed off just how awesome the service will be.
First, the Internet speeds. Google Fiber provides gigabit speeds both up and down the pipe. That's 1000/1000 Mbps (which makes our 35/35 connection look atrocious.) The company detailed how far behind the USA is in terms of speed and pricing, and is looking to invoke some major change. Google Fiber Internet will also come with 1TB of Google Drive cloud storage, and there will be no bandwidth caps or overage fees. But that's not all…

Comcast Xfinity Platinum offers 305 Mbps for $299.95 per month
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Internet
If you thought Comcast would let Verizon make them look bad with those 300 Mbps FiOS Quantum speeds, you've got another thing coming, as the company has just announced Xfinity Platinum. Boasting speeds of 305 Mbps down and 65 Mbps up, the new offering will only be available to Comcast customers living in the northeast region, with no details on if it will be deployed elsewhere.
In addition, customers on the lower-speed Xfinity Blast! tier will see their speeds increased from 25 Mbps to 50 Mbps, and Extreme tier customers get bumped from 50 Mbps to 105 Mbps with no price increase. Now, two pieces of bad news. First, the 305 Mbps service will cost $299.95 per month, which is $95 more than FiOS Quantum. Second, if you're a Comcast customer who doesn't live in Boston, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Hartford, Wilmington, Richmond, New Jersey, Baltimore, or Washington, D.C., then you don't get any speed bumps.

Internet Explorer for Xbox 360 to debut alongside the fall dashboard update
One of the updates you can expect when the Fall Xbox Dashboard Update drops is the addition of a web browser. That's right, after seven years, the Xbox 360 will finally be getting Internet Explorer. During the Microsoft E3 Media Briefing, it was mentioned that a browser would have been cumbersome previously, but with the introduction of the Xbox SmartGlass app alongside Kinect integration, users will be able to easily browse the web on their Xbox 360 console.
Verizon FiOS Internet speeds now top out at 300 Mbps
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Internet
Last week we reported that Verizon FiOS Internet users were about to receive a significant speed boost, and today it's been made official. Most impressive is that the download speed of the fastest tier has doubled to 300 Mbps, with a 65 Mbps upload speed alongside it. Here's a look at all the new speed tiers:
- 300/65 Mbps (previously 150/35)
- 150/65 Mbps (previously 50/20)
- 75/35 Mbps (previously 35/35)
- 50/25 Mbps (previously 25/25)
- 15/5 Mbps
On the fastest tier, you can download a 2-hour 1080p movie in less than 22 minutes. The new speeds take effect in June.

Comcast ditching the 250 GB data cap in favor of tiered pricing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Internet
Comcast is finally ready to abandon the 250 GB data cap that it introduced in 2008. While this is certainly a welcome change, don't go firing up that myriad of torrents just yet. The company will be testing what it calls a more "flexible" approach--tiered pricing. Comcast will be doing trials of two different tiered approaches over the next few months. One sees base plans that start at 300 GB per month, and when exceeded, Comcast is considering charging customers an additional $10 for each extra 50 GB of usage in a given month. The other is similar, but gives a larger cap to homes subscribes to the 30 MBps Blast package and 105 Mbps Extreme package. Based on those trials, Comcast will decide how to move forward with pricing its network for the future.

I've been talking with the nice people at www.neoflash.com, developers and makers of the NEOFLASH system.
At first glance, neoflash seems like just another GBA backup device. But there is an interesting twist; it's designed to work with DS games. While I don't condone piracy in any way, the kit does have some very exciting potential for DS game development. Is this the "must have" item to stongarm your way into the industry? I'll be taking a detailed look at the unit and running it through the paces, letting you know if it lives up to all the expectations. Will this item blow open the DS scene? We'll see!!

It was a warmer than average weekend for opening gun deer season in Wisconsin. But, that weather didn't stop hunters from heading to the woods.
Some, like Justin Vee, had better luck than others. Vee says he saw his deer first thing Sunday morning. "It just came right up to me it was nice weather. I shot it right in the chest and in the back and it dropped right away."
Hunters like Justin flowed into the Sunset Country Store just outside of Wausau to check in their take.
The store's staff says they have seen a lot of action the past two days.
Jordan Baumann, who has been registering deer for the store, says this weekend has been very busy. "So far it's been pretty good. The bucks have been pretty good."
Baumann says that the warmer weather probably had an impact on overall numbers. So far, staff says there have been more bigger buck taken than last year. Baumann says a lot of the hunters are saying the same things. "Alot of people are saying they are not seeing as many as they used to, but when they do see one, its usually pretty good."
That's why getting a deer can be such a challenge for hunters. It is too early to tell whether overall numbers for are up or down for this year's hunt. The hunters we spoke with say they knew they had to take advantage of opening weekend, even if the shot they took was not ideal.
Justin Vee said his shot was not perfect, but it did the job. "I took a shot at it and I think I clipped off his antler and it was lying right next to him. Kind of a unique shot, but these things will happen, I guess." Justin says he plans to glue the antler back on the buck, making it the eight pointer he originally spotted.
The Sunset Country Store employees we spoke with say that as of Sunday afternoon, they had already registered around 320 deer. They say they expect this year's total numbers to surpass last year's total by a hundred or so.

- Amazing product! Review by Christopher Mark Heben
Price Value Quality The blend of green superfoods, enzymes, and anti-oxidants combine to make this one of my favorite mutli's! The no-iron factor is a definite selling point as well. Very easy on my stomach and when I take it with the GI brand of whey protein, I know that the enzymes are going to make sure that I get every bit of the protein to my needy tissues. I don't really care that it is 'Vegan Friendly' but it just makes me feel that much better knowing that some critter didn't have to meet its demise just because I want to be healthier. Great formula! - CMH

Hapless preteen Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) endures bullies, swirlies, morons, and wedgies while navigating the treacherous world of middle school and recording his traumas in his personal journal in this family-oriented comedy inspired by author Jeff Kinney's best-selling series of illustrated novels. Try as he might, Greg just can't understand who thought it was a good idea to place kids who haven't even hit their first growth spurt in the same school as kids who get a five-o'clock shadow by lunch time. Realizing that he'll have to get creative if he hopes to survive until high school, Greg concocts a series of get-cool-quick schemes that all go hopelessly awry. Despite the fact that he's viewed as a dork by his peers, Greg never loses hope that someday, when all is said and done, he'll be able to look back on his middle school experiences and laugh. Steve Zahn and Rachael Harris co-star in this comedy from Hotel for Dogs director Thor Freudenthal. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this third film in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) wants to spend the summer before eighth grade playing video games and maybe, if he can finagle it, getting closer to his crush Holly Hills (Peyton List). The former plan goes out the window when his dad Frank (Steve Zahn) decides to ban video games from the house. In order to connect with his young son, Frank schedules a number of fishing trips and signs the boy up for Scouts. Greg has more luck on the girlfriend front when his best friend Rowley (Robert Capron) invites him to go to his family's country club, where Holly works as a tennis instructor. Soon, in order to avoid spending so much time with his dad, Greg lies to his parents and says he works at the club, a deception that his older brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) uses to blackmail him and gain access to the establishment. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Brad Pitt stars as an ex-United Nations employee racing around the globe in a bid to halt a worldwide zombie pandemic in Marc Forster's sprawling adaptation of Max Brooks' bestselling novel of the same name. Retired U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family are sitting in what appears to be a typical Philadelphia traffic jam when helicopters began to circle ominously overhead, and an explosion throws the city into panic. In the blink of an eye, the streets are consumed by chaos. When Gerry learns that the catalyst for the turmoil is a highly contagious virus that transforms those who contract it into rampaging maniacs, and that legions of the infected are growing on all continents, he agrees to join his former colleagues in discovering the source of the rampant plague so that his wife and two daughters will be guaranteed safety aboard a UN fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon tracing a crucial e-mail to a U.S. military base in South Korea, Gerry learns that the infection has spread more rapidly than anyone realizes. Although a subsequent trip to Jerusalem, where the government has constructed a massive wall to keep the public safe, initially offers hope that the growing horde can be kept at bay, an unexpected breach sends Gerry back into the sky in search of patient zero. Just when Gerry thinks he's traced the origins of the virus, however, the unthinkable happens. Subsequently stranded in Cardiff with a fearless Israeli soldier, Gerry quickly makes his way to a World Health Organization outpost where the few remaining scientists have hit a dead end in their search for a cure. But the struggle is far from over, and after recalling an unusual scene witnessed in Jerusalem, Gerry prepares to make a leap of faith that could prevent the downfall of humanity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Oklahoma State football fans, coaches and players had a lot to be excited about last season. The Cowboys conquered Oklahoma for the Big 12 championship and finished the season with a 12-1 record. They defeated Stanford in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl, they finished 3rd in the AP poll and head Coach Mike Gundy was able to secure a new eight-year contract worth $30 million. It definitely has been a whirlwind of a year for Oklahoma State, but the reality of quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon, has hit people. Losing two first-round picks from your offense is tough, and Oklahoma State has some rebuilding to do this upcoming season.
The first hole Mike Gundy filled was the quarterback position. True freshman, Wes Lunt, was named the starter and Gundy has a great feeling about this kid. "What makes me feel good about Wes Lunt," Gundy said, "is that he has a skill set that is well-suited for what we try to accomplish offensively and he also has a calm demeanor about him. I believe he gives us a good chance to score points and win games."
At the beginning of his own playing days, Gundy was also a true freshman when he played as starting quarterback for the Cowboys back in 1986. But Gundy tries not to compare Lunt to his own circumstances. "I try not to compare players too often because circumstances vary, but I will say that we're excited about what he brings to our team," Gundy said. "He has a chance to be very successful here.
"One similarity I see between Wes and myself is talented teammates. Wes will not have the weight of the world on his shoulders because of guys like Joseph Randle, Jeremy Smith, Lane Taylor, Jonathan Rush and a number of others who have made a lot of plays for us and helped us win games over the years." Gundy has also groomed the best quarterbacks Oklahoma State has seen play in years with the likes of Josh Fields, Zac Robinson and Brandon Weeden.
One factor that might worry fans, though, is the lack of experience of all three quarterbacks, Clint Chelf, J.W. Walsh and Lunt, -- but that doesn't seem to frighten Gundy. "Clint and J.W. are both good players with experience in our system," Gundy said. "They know what we want to accomplish. Clint knows our offense as well as anyone and has some game experience. He's a valuable member of our team in many ways. J.W. redshirted last year but we're confident that he will make plays when his number is called. We like what J.W. is about and what he brings to Oklahoma State."
A huge concern entering this upcoming season is replacing Josh Cooper, Hubert Anyiam, Colton Chelf, Michael Harrison and two-time Biletnikoff winner, Justin Blackmon. Seniors Tracy Moore and Isaiah Anderson look to take over, but these two receivers can't fill the role by themselves. "A big part of our success in recent years," Gundy said, "is that when one guy has gone down, another has stepped up. Our players believe that they will make plays and I believe that they will make plays, too." Since it will be difficult to fill the massive hole left by Blackmon, it's nice to see a pair of senior's step-up to the plate to help out.
Of course the loss of Blackmon and Weeden hurts the Cowboys this season, but also losing Jamie Blatnick and Richetti Jones at defensive end doesn't help matters either. Coach Gundy, though, does have big expectations for Cooper Bassett, Nigel Nicholas and other recruits who can fill that position.
"Jamie Blatnick and Richetti Jones were both important players for us last season," Gundy said, "but I'm pleased with what I saw from our defense this spring. Cooper Bassett and Nigel Nicholas have tremendous character and the team looks to them as leaders. We're very fast at linebacker and are able to do some of the things that you need to be able to do to be a good defense in this league. In Brodrick Brown and Justin Gilbert, we have veteran cornerbacks who have made a lot of plays during their time here and I would expect that to continue. I'm pleased with where we're at defensively." With the confidence of Gundy as coach, fans should leave their worries at home.
Something Coach Gundy should be proud of these days is watching his players be drafted to the NFL this year. Markelle Martin, who was drafted by the Tennessee Titans, will be difficult to replace at free safety, but Gundy considers Daytawion Lowe the leader of the safeties and looks to him, Lavocheya Cooper and Zack Craig to be big-time game-makers.
"Daytawion Lowe is really the leader of our safeties now," Gundy said, "and he has earned that with how much he has brought to this program the last couple years. We will look to him to absorb some of the leadership that Markelle provided."
Coach Gundy recruited heavily during the off-season and a face he is excited to see impact his defensive line is JUCO transfer Calvin Barnett. "Calvin is a good player and he has a good understanding of leverage on the defensive line," Gundy said. "We expect him to play with tremendous effort and be effective against both the pass and the run. We're excited about what he brings to our team."

Nothing happened, he skidded the car for a couple of days and we found out what needs to be changed and he bought it back and pulled the rear subframe out.
Needs converter tightened a lot, subframe mods to clear CV boots, Subframe spacers turned down about 10mm to lift diff nose and reduce pinion angle, a more free flowing rear muffler because it isn't loud enough and the Jasma muffler that's on it is pretty restrictive, longer bump steer correcters, faster rack and then retune.
none of that needs to be done, because skid pig

Some cities are better suited to midcareer workers than to retirees, and some appeal to recent grads more than to families. That's why we picked five great cities for each of five different age groups -- young adults, mid-career professionals, families, second acts and retirees.
All of the cities on our list have reasonable living costs, strong employment growth and a population that scores high on measures of education, tech-savviness and tolerance. We sorted them further by using criteria tailored to each of our categories. For instance, we factored in rental cost for young adults; commute times for professionals; school quality for families; the arts and number of restaurants for second acts; and, for retirees, climate and number of doctors.
To identify the winners, Kiplinger teamed up with Kevin Stolarick, research director at the Martin Prosperity Institute, a think tank that studies economic prosperity. The cost-of-living index measures how expensive it is to live in a city; the national average score is 100. That means cities with a score below 100 have a lower-than-average cost of living. Nationwide, the median price of an existing single-family home is $157,000, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $959, median income is $43,024 and median income growth from 2006 to 2011 was 11.1%. The national unemployment rate is 8.2%.
Best city for young adults: Madison, Wisconsin (pictured above)
Population (metro area): 568,593
Unemployment rate: 4.9%
Cost-of-living index: 108.2
Median household income: $58,775
Average rent (one-bedroom apartment): $849
Let's skip the Cheesehead and cowpie references. Madison is an educated, tech-savvy city, filled with recent grads who have enough energy to launch a dozen start-ups and still have time to check out that brewpub down the block.
With the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus front and center, there's no shortage of smart people in town. Engineers, computer programmers and other eggheads work in academia or for Epic Systems, a health care software developer. An entrepreneurial community fosters homegrown start-ups.
Young adults complain of a competitive rental market, where it's tough to find a centrally located two-bedroom flat for less than $1,000 a month. But there's plenty to keep your mind off high rents in this midsize midwestern city. On a typical Saturday, you might browse the Dane County Farmers' Market, head down to Camp Randall Stadium to tailgate and watch Badgers football, or boat or fish in lakes Kegonsa, Mendota, Monona and Waubesa.
See the rest of the top five best cities for young adults on Kiplinger.com.
Best city for midcareer professionals: Washington, D.C.
Population (metro area): 5,582,170
Unemployment rate: 5.3%
Cost-of-living index: 136.3
Median household income: $84,424
Income growth (2006-11): 15.8%
The nation's capital boasts diversity -- from job sectors to arts and culture -- which means it's easy to find your niche. Don't peg greater Washington as just a government hub; D.C.'s biggest growth area is professional services, such as consulting companies and defense contractors. Biotech rules in the Maryland suburbs, and in the area stretching from Baltimore to the District, cyber-security jobs are growing.
While many come for the jobs, they stay for the quality of life. Check out the free Smithsonian museums, concerts hosted by embassies or the pro sports games. Neighborhoods range from leafy suburbs to trendy downtown areas with an eclectic mix of eateries, shopping and bars -- but housing costs are high downtown and in the close-in suburbs. Prices for a two-bedroom/two-bath condo in happening neighborhoods (D.C.'s Logan Circle and Arlington's Clarendon, for example) start at about $600,000. Move off the Metro line and for $500,000 to $600,000 you can find a three-bedroom single-family home.
See the rest of the top five best cities for midcareer professionals on Kiplinger.com.
Best city for families: Des Moines, Iowa
Population (metro area): 569,633
Unemployment rate: 5.0%
Cost-of-living index: 91.3
Median household income: $57,185
Student-teacher ratio: 14.5
A low unemployment rate, high-paying financial-services jobs and below-average housing costs allow Des Moines residents to enjoy a standard of living that's the envy of their friends in larger cities. Families can easily find a four-bedroom home with an attached garage in the $200,000 range.
Most families don't need to shell out extra money to pay for private schools. Des Moines' public schools offer small class sizes, and Iowa's test scores are above average. Rush hour is blissfully brief, an attribute highly valued by busy parents.
The city and suburbs are connected by more than 300 miles of bike and walking trails. In the summer, families can take in a minor league baseball game at Principal Park, home to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. Brenton Skating Plaza, part of the 1.2-mile Principal Riverwalk that is scheduled for completion this year, is a popular wintertime destination.
See the rest of the top five best cities for families on Kiplinger.com.
Best city for second acts: Portland, Maine
Population (metro area): 514,098
Unemployment rate: 6.4%
Cost-of-living index: 113.1
Median household income: $54,431
Restaurants per 100,000 people: 263
Portland's lively arts scene, highly skilled workforce and inventive cuisine, along with a low crime rate and high-quality medical facilities, are drawing professionals who are making their home base here and telecommuting or flying to their jobs. The cost of living is slightly higher than the national average, but compared with big-city prices, housing is affordable. Newly built two-bedroom condos on the eastern side of downtown sell for $360,000.
Downtown Portland offers boutiques, art galleries and restaurants along cobblestone streets. The arts district includes a symphony, ballet, an opera company, a theater and the Portland Museum of Art. Portland's renowned food scene offers everything from hardwood-cooked game to its famed steamed lobster.
Portland has its challenges. Homelessness is up (a task force is addressing the problem), and winters are long and cold. Locals either wait them out in warmer climates, head north to ski, or pop in to one of the many restaurants for a hot bowl of chowder.
See the rest of the top five best cities for second acts on Kiplinger.com.
Best city for retirees: New Orleans, Louisiana
Population (metro area): 1,167,764
Unemployment rate: 7.2%
Cost-of-living index: 95.7
Median household income: $47,188
Doctors per 100,000 people: 136
Seven years after the monster hurricane and levee breaches, N'awlins has bounced back. The rebounding population has helped spawn a building boom of newly constructed and refurbished homes, as well as new infrastructure.
Retirees and people on the brink of retirement are finding a lot to like here. New Orleans has affordable health care and a mild climate (notwithstanding the occasional hurricane). The state offers tax breaks to retirees: Social Security and federal government and military retirement benefits are tax-free, and property taxes are low. Although warring gangs keep the murder rate high, burglaries and thefts track close to the national average.
Some retirees are gravitating to nearby Metairie and the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. No matter where you live, you will still want to stroll the streets of the French Quarter. Besides jazz and blues played by gifted street musicians, you're likely to find a festival going on. World-renowned restaurants include Galatoire's (for French Creole), Cochon (for Cajun) and Acme Oyster House (for the oysters, crawfish and po' boys).

"While the superior technology used by NQ Mobile was able to quickly isolate and inoculate this malware with fewer than 200 infections out of billions of downloads of the legitimate app, it is important to note that it was spread across nine countries," said Gavin Kim, Chief Product and Commercial Officer, NQ Mobile.

What R they waiting 4?
Great new project emerging in the States, a documentary film + online engagement.
THE WAITING ROOM is not just a film about the health care crisis. It is a place for change: an organic melding of traditional documentary film and innovative social media. The central question of the project, "what r u waiting for?" is directed not just at policy makers but also at individual citizens like those sitting in the waiting room – isolated, tired, stuck – who now possess the means to use their own voices to push the agenda of health care reform.
It's got an amazing team: Emmy-award winning media-makers, matched up with digital information designers, and an oscar-winning executive producer. Check it out: http://whatruwaitingfor.com

Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (D-13) will address the Democratic National Convention tonight, after being selected to the convention's speaker list.
In an e-mail to supporters, Rep. Schwartz said that she will speak during the 7 pm hour. The address will be nationally broadcast live on C-SPAN, and will also be viewable online through c-span.com's live streaming coverage.
Although there is no word on what Rep. Schwartz plans to say, the fourth-term congresswoman is part of a lineup of female politicians that includes minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Schwartz represents voters in Abington, Horsham, Upper Dublin, Lansdale, Montgomery, Springfield, Plymouth, Whitemarsh, Conshohocken, Ambler, Whitpain, Lower Merion, and Upper and Lower Moreland townships as part of the 13th district. She faces a challenge from Republican Joe Rooney this fall.

WOW, you mean she really exists? Her office sends blast e-mails to constituents, but refuses to respond to the very people they contacted. They "block" your e-mail communications ... it's like getting SPAMMED!

Yesterday, I paid $4.09 a gallon for gas, our National Debt just exceeded $16 trillion, we have nearly 4 years of unemployment over 8.2%, unemployment for blacks is 14.4% and unemployment in Phila is over 10%. If I had two minutes on the national stage I think there are more pressing issues to be discussed than scare tactics aimed at seniors about medicare.
I challenge Ms Schwartz to a debate where we discuss Medicare, her votes to cut over $500 billion from Medicare and her support for the IPAB and rationing.
Are you afraid to debate? With you record, you should be.
Joe Rooney
September 05, 2012 at 07:24 PM
It is easy to say that things are bad... but what are your solutions to these problems? Anyone can say that they would lower the price of gas, lower the debt and increase jobs, How exactly are you going to cut gases on tax and cut the national debt and still have money to fund programs like those for job creation.

2. Admit it, you already know you aren't going to get any solutions from Ms Schwartz although I hope you are asking her this same question. For eight years you haven't gotten an answer to this from her.
3. Government doesn't create jobs, the private sector does. The government needs to create an environment where private business can thrive. That means low, predictable taxes, reasonable regulations and respect for private property.
4. Here are some ideas: Keystone pipeline: approve it and let's get the Canadian Oil into our refineries. Marcellus Shale: we need to develop all of our vast natural resources. This is something we can do today, here in PA and it will generate jobs.
5. Cut the national debt? What a pipe dream, wouldn't that be great? All I want now is an end to mind numbing$trillion deficits, can't we agree on that?
MAX I hope you will agree, regardless of your political affiliation, that debates between candidates are a good thing. Please join with me in calling on Ms Schwartz to appear in a series of debates where all voters can get a good idea of how each candidate will address these pressing issues?
Is Schwartz afraid to debate? You bet she is.

I could be wrong on this, so forgive me if I am, but Allyson Schwartz has no REASON to enter into a debate with you Mr. Rooney. If you and her never step foot in the same room she's probably going to beat you in the election by 10-15% of the vote. She has nothing to gain and everything to lose.
I may not agree with her tactic (if anything, I'd LOVE to see a debate because I'd love to hear more on each of your plans) but I can 100% understand why she's seemingly avoiding any sort of confrontation with you in a political spotlight.
I mean, if you go to her website you wouldn't even know she was facing re-election. There's not a single mention of you anywhere. There's no mention of her being in a race. It's all about the Presidential election and getting out the vote in general.
I think she's well aware that the 13th is a VERY Democratic area and she can pretty much stand pat and win.
Sometimes politics is a dirty game (who am I kidding -- MOST of the time it is!), and sometimes it's a game of chess. I think in this case she's guarding her King wisely and just letting you move you pieces all over the board and walking into mistakes.
September 06, 2012 at 01:39 AM
Thanks for answering my question, you have some very valid points and I would be interested in hearing some of your other thoughts and how they compare to hers but I have to agree with @marc in the fact I didn't even know she had an opponent in her race.
My follow up question to you is if energy sources become unavailable for profit, where would you find the extra money to lower taxes on gases raise employment and lower the debt... what would you cut from the budget to make that happen?
September 06, 2012 at 04:18 AM
Joe how do you know madMAX is from the outback? He could be mad because the republicans and democrats destroyed the livelihood of this country by outsourcing our economy. Remember giving china most favored nation status? Remember that giant sucking sound? I'm mad too. Call me mad smedley.
September 06, 2012 at 04:30 AM
Isn't it funny the Keystone Pipeline ends up in a tax free enterprize zone in texas. So they won't have to pay any taxes on the money they make when they sell the oil they refine into diesel fuel overseas. Why don't we keep the oil we get from alaska instead of selling over 90% of it overseas?
Fracking in Pennsylvania is already poisoning our water and air. What for? Corporate Profit.
Joe Rooney
September 06, 2012 at 05:14 AM
I agree, you do seem to be mad Smedley. Have you ever visited a drill site here in PA? Have you ever talked with either the drillers, or the property owners? They are not that far away and I believe it would be well worth your time to visit and learn a bit more about who is doing the drilling, who owns the land and what happens to the gas.
Knowledge is power.
PS Smeds, I made a light reference to madMAX and the 1980's movies, sorry you missed the joke.
Joe Rooney
September 06, 2012 at 05:22 AM
Thanks for the unexpected compliment. The only reason she will debate is if enough of the electorate (like you) demand that she stand before her constituents, answer their questions and act like a public servant rather than royalty. I am doing all I can, you have to decide whether you are represented by, or ruled over...
Joseph Finnick
September 06, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Just gotta say, fracking itself does not poison our water. Although it is shady as hell and the drillers are not very good at PR, the studies have mostly said that the process is not dangerous. The poisoning comes in when fracking is not regulated and done correctly so some of the chemicals then get into the drinking water. Just making sure everything is done by the books would ensure everything is safe.
September 07, 2012 at 02:55 AM
Joe you are right knowledge is power. Going to a fracking site wouldn't do me any good. Have you ever heard Dr. Anthony Ingrassia, a geologist from Cornell University talk about geology and drilling? Check out one of his utube videos. I've met a few people from upstate Pa. that can't drink their water now that gas wells were dug in their area. Did you know once you sign a gas lease you can no longer get a mortgage or insurance on your property?
I don't suppose you saw Josh Fox'x movie Gas Land? Ever hear of Dimock Pa? Their water is poisoned.
Sorry I missed the joke I didn't see the movie.
Joe Rooney
September 07, 2012 at 04:50 AM
mad Smedley: I'm a Cornell grad too! Here is a link discussing some of Ingraffia's work.
I am sure you understand the difference between drilling, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
I support frac(k)ing and support responsible drilling.
September 10, 2012 at 03:55 AM
I'm sure you could cherry pick a few more links. Here are a few more.
Remember this day in the future. Sooner or later you will know fracking is a bad idea.
September 10, 2012 at 12:38 PM
"Just making sure everything is done by the books would ensure everything is safe."
Joe Finnick that is a joke. I suppose you would say the same thing about nuclear power.
Joseph Finnick
September 10, 2012 at 12:49 PM
That kind of talk is what gets people in trouble. I have looked at the studies. The film you mentioned is infamous for being highly biased and low on facts. Yes I have seen it. However, when you ignore the facts of all of the serious studies, then you are just being as bad as the climate change deniers. There are many things that if are left unregulated and do not go by the books would do great harm.
I never said it is the answer to our energy problems, because it isn't. Renewable energy should be where we are headed. I just made a logical statement based on scientific studies that show the process of fracking does not cause environmental hazard, lack of regulation of the practice does. As long as it is done in a responsible manner, I have no problem with it and neither should you.
September 11, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Am I ignoring all the serious studies? Where did you see these studies? Send the links so I can see the data. You said,
"I just made a logical statement based on scientific studies that show the process of fracking does not cause environmental hazard."
Are you a god? Some men think they are gods. Can you see 10 or 20 years into the future? How can you declare that drilling holes thousands of feet into the ground, pumping millions of gallons of precious water under thousands of pounds of pressure, along with hundreds of different poisonous chemicals including stuff like Benzine won't poison the water. In many areas it already has.
September 11, 2012 at 12:49 PM
According to industry, 5% of ALL cement casings that line a fracked well leak IMMEDIATELY, 40% leak in eight years, and 60% in 30 years. Eventually all will leak. The initial problems generally are caused by poor installation. However, even if everything is done perfectly while drilling, the steel rusts, expands and cracks the cement. Earth movements also crack the cement. Click on this link and scroll down to see the graph reprinted from a Schlumberger paper discussing cement casing failure:
September 11, 2012 at 12:51 PM
I agree Clean Renewable Energy is where we should be heading. In the U.S. we waste 50% to 90% of the energy we generate. Many countries are going renewable. Greed is keeping the U.S. stuck on Fossil Fuel. We will be left behind.
I personally don't need the gas. I used the money I could have spent on gas or oil and bought energy efficient products, windows, insulation, and weatherstripping for our home. Now with about a cord of wood I use less than 1/2 tank of oil per year.
(119 gallons last year) Our electric bill for our 1800 sq. ft. house averages $30.00 to 40.00 in the winter and 50.00 to 60.00 in the summer. I have 2 solar hot water collectors on my roof and a storage tank in the basement. They are provide 100% of my hot water needs. (No need for Gas) The breaker to my electric water heater has been off for 14 months. In the end the thing I like the most is I don't have to pay any taxes on the energy I don't use or the clean renewable energy I collect. Check your energy bills, the same can't be said for gas. Or coal, oil, and nuclear.
September 11, 2012 at 12:56 PM
I forgot to mention all that methane released and gas burned will cause runaway global climate change.
September 11, 2012 at 01:24 PM
@Smedley: You're full of gas, that's why you don't need any. Your BS is self sustainable!!
Joseph Finnick
September 11, 2012 at 06:22 PM
The studies I read from were featured in the book The Republican Mind by Chris Mooney (I have lent the book out to a friend recently so I do not have the specific studies on hand). These were the only studies I have seen that have been from non-biased sources (also a little common sense would be good from you by realizing that they drill deep beneath the groundwater for fracking, which is the reason why the water does not become poisoned if done in a responsible manner). I'm not sure why you think I have a god complex. In the end we both agree that we should be focusing more on renewable energy, so I don't know why you are insistent on arguing with me.
September 13, 2012 at 03:02 AM
No BS here Crummy. You wish your energy bills were as low as mine.

REK you know -- look.
If you're stockbroker if your financial advisor and you have big money problems.
I don't want you morning my money I think it's okay that you get fired.
But for other people how likely is it that their credit score is gonna play -- some of us.
Yeah IE you know it's almost like having a bus driver or the budget deal lives is not a good step -- -- fashion.
Look at it at.
At a federal level it's still completely illegal for an employer to look at your primary important Health Net and and -- -- credit report hell -- -- -- -- decision this is something that people need to realize it's not just.
Pre employment screening Jerry -- its pre employment and continued employment -- what caught this guy is that we had a job.
Is that in every dirty had to -- in every professionally can't be an effort perfection.
It it yes and no it's not every -- Fashion but it could potentially be every employer.
At the federal level it's fair game anything guys but there are some states.
They do have restrictions on the book where a credit screening -- for for continued employment or pre employment.
Can only be done for certain levels of professions so in other words someone who's handling sensitive information or rats access to cash.
Yes it's it's definitely fair game someone -- say for example like an hourly employee are.
Or -- and landscaper for example.
And then no not for that person's -- but.
But by and large you should be aware that they're not looking at your credit.
To determine what kind of credit manager you -- they're just looking out to determine if by hiring -- or like continuing to employ you.
They have a liability.
For for your yes actions and -- a lot of employers can get over things like old criminal records.
And old debt but what not many employees are gonna turn a blind eye to his dishonesty.
And that's what gets people in trouble in our web polling station Q1 dollar -- that I.
Their backgrounds.
Or if you -- -- big big financial trouble and you're working with other people's money and there's the threat may be that.
That may -- you might steal to make up for that that's that's when these people get upset now the -- told me -- that I have never heard before.
Is that they can do this on an ongoing basis how often -- they checking your records.
It depends on the employment and it depends on the -- position what you're doing for -- what got this gentleman in trouble.
Is that he was a financial advisor and apparently and there are safe -- -- rule.
It states that you have to disclose this type of issue with respect to judgments and potential wage tarnish -- And and apparently he did not any got a warning the first time in the second time that it popped out that basically said okay that that's that.
That is more it's about dishonesty and withholding information that it is about mismanaging I don't get me wrong the -- had 90000.
Dollars in defaulted credit card debt.
And at about seven seconds he stopped feeling sorry for because you -- brought this upon.
That -- dad disclosure should be there was employer should be to its clients in that case yeah right.
Yeah I like I don't think anybody disagrees and especially -- people want long haul these frauds -- over the past two years and I've summons managing my money.
I want to know how they're managing their own money and what kind of personal pressures -- on terror I -- how do you wages -- is extremely stressful -- financially but also personally.
And this -- your employer unwillingly into a problem because of air required by law.
And what all the portion of your income yeah.
Ought to be involved in that situation put them in the middle -- very bad situation.
Pop -- let's talk about something happy for just a second average household debt is to -- seven point 5% revolving credit down six point 7%.
People know a little better financial position than they'd been in the past are -- seeing this play out yourself.
It I am in this this is actually very good news it's very -- is and it you'd like to think that it's all good news but it's not there -- a little bit of a glass half full perspective to -- Some people are not in debt because think frankly cannot qualify for loans they would like to buy houses it's a good time to buy -- house.
But -- either unemployed or underemployed and the standards for getting a mortgage are still very very difficult to break so it's not a matter just people saying and what I've seen a -- I don't have a credit -- I'm not gonna get also a segment of people -- said I belong to my house right now but I -- the rates -- -- I just cannot do -- -- -- -- borrow -- that's a really good point you know people don't -- -- consideration when they see this number of course not gotten things on tonight it's always a pleasure appreciate your time.

OK, so I see the iCard from Lisa. I think it's a rebus, a visual puzzle. Here's a lame wikipedia page on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus
It appears to me that the lower-right frame shows Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire, three states in the New England region of the USA.
So I am guessing that the solution to the rebus is something like "based out to New England," but Google is not being as smart as I'd like.
The result is actually quite a clever play on words if you think about it.
The first and third photos you've got right. The second photo is not "out." Quite the opposite really. The fourth isn't as specific as you're making it.
The result forms a phrase which functions as an adjective which would fit the phrase "That company is [phrase]."
Then use that phrase in an obvious way. We've sorta done it before.
Maybe I hate everything. Or maybe I just hate you.

Cloth Diapering Resource Page
February 13, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
I have really enjoyed using cloth diapers with Dylan, and I want to pass that love onto you. This page gives you an overview of information about cloth diapering and points you towards a lot of other great resources so you can dive in and learn as much as you want. Let me know if there's more information you're looking for that I can include here!
Reasons to Use Cloth Diapers
- Money: Disposables can run you $2000 or more, while you can cloth diaper for a few hundred or less. The same diapers can be used on subsequent kids, magnifying your savings, plus they have resale value. See here for a closer look at the cost comparison.
- Environment: Cloth diapers aren't single use items full of chemicals that then end up in landfills. Read more about the environmental impact of diapers or even more environmental information.
- Health: Disposable diapers contain harmful chemicals and are bad for your baby's skin.
- Ease: Cloth diapering is convenient.
- Fashion: Cloth diapers are adorable!
What kinds of cloth diapers are available today?
- Flats: These are the seriously old-fashioned kind. It's a single layer piece of cloth that's folded and pinned (or Snappi'd).
- Prefolds: Still old-fashioned. Cloth that's already been folded for extra layers in the middle. Mostly all you have to do is pin. Read more about the benefits of using prefolds.
- Contours: Contour diapers have a little bit of tailoring such as elastic around the legs and wings that fold over. It's a slight step up from prefolds. No pinning needed.
- Fitteds: Fitteds are fully tailored diapers – elastic for the legs and waist, snaps or Velcro to close it. These go on your baby like a disposable, although they still need a cover to be waterproof.
- Covers: Flats, prefolds, contours, and fitteds all need a cover to make them waterproof. The cover has no absorbency itself, it's just a waterproof barrier. But if you remember the rubber pants of yore, don't worry. Covers these days are as cute as the diapers and come in many easy-to-use styles.
- All-In-Ones (AIOs): AIOs have absorbency and waterproof-ness in one piece. You put them on and they fit just like a disposable.
- Pockets: Pockets are like a cover (and can be used as a cover for other diaper types) in that they are trim and waterproof, but they have a lining that wicks moisture away from baby's skin and a pocket for stuffing inserts into. The inserts are the absorbent part.
- All-in-Twos: (AI2s): AI2s are like AIOs except the extra absorbent middle part snaps in and out, making them easier to launder.
- One-size (OS): Fitteds, AIOs, pockets, and AI2s come in different sizes, or you can find OS diapers that are adjustable to fit your child as ou grows.
- For more descriptions of these, plus different materials and other related terms, check out this cloth diapering cheat sheet or this page on cloth diapering systems.
- Fitteds: Thirsties and Kissaluvs.
- AIOs: bumGenius and Kissa's.
- Pockets: Bummis, bumGenius, and Fuzzi Bunz.
How to Wash Cloth Diapers:
- As they occur, put the dirty diapers in a diaper pail or bag. If your baby is eating food, dump solid waste into the toilet first. For babies exclusively breastfeeding, you can wash everything. How long you wait between washings depends on your schedule and how many diapers you have.
- Dump the contents of the pail or bag into your washing machine. Run a cold water rinse cycle to rinse away waste.
- Wash diapers on hot using detergent. Run an extra rinse if you like.
- Don't use chlorine bleach, fabric softener, or pure soaps.
- Dry on low or line dry. Don't use dryer sheets.
- If you have stains you want to remove, lay the diapers out in the sun. Stains magically disappear!
Other washing resources:
- Hobo Mama gives the rundown on how to wash cloth diapers if you're using a laundromat.
- Here's a chart detailing which detergents are best for cloth.
- If you run into laundering problems, you may need to strip your diapers.
- Washing cloth diapers when you have hard water.
- The ins and outs of diaper pails and how to store dirty diapers.
- More laundering tips.
Cloth on a Budget:
- How to start cloth diapering on a budget.
- The Diaperswappers forum is a great place to hunt down used diapers, allowing you to save tons of money.
- How many cloth diapers do you NEED?
- You could even try sewing your own!
And MORE…
This resource page on cloth diapering will grow over time, as I find more useful information and links to add.
What other information about cloth diapering would you like to know or what other information would you add to this page?
11 Responses to Cloth Diapering Resource Page
I did not know what stripping was so thank you for the explanation. I would like to know of some outcomes for cloth diapering and you are not a stay at home mother! I wonder if that is a condition for daycares if your child is in disposable diapers. My environmental culture is so use to disposable.
I have known people who successfully used cloth with day care providers, including my brother in Portland, OR. I think in pretty much all cases the babies wore the fancier types of cloth, such as AIO or pocket diapers, and the day care basically changed the baby as if ou were wearing disposables, but put the soiled diaper in a bag instead of the trash. I have no idea, however, how difficult it is to find an open-minded day care in different parts of the US or world.
Excellent summary, Issa! Better than I found when I was shopping for diapers for Zyggy.
I have never really understood under what circumstances you would want to strip your diapers. I've never done it with mine, but I've never really had smell or leaking/absorbancy issues.
Great overview! Perhaps you could link to sites that have lots of cloth diaper reviews and info about cloth diaper retailers? Padded Tush Stats, Change-diapers.com and All about Cloth come to mind. I learn a lot from their video reviews where they show you the diaper on a baby.
I would like to know how many you should have and how to keep from leaks etc. I am due with my first baby in May and I would love to try cloth diapers, but I honestly don't know where to start, and I don't know how to use them.
There's a link under the cloth on a budget section for how many cloth diapers you need. Preventing leaks is about having diapers in the correct size, changing them often enough, and using a detergent that doesn't build up on them.

School of Life: Jonah Lehrer on Genius
29 April 2012
Jonah Lehrer will show how creativity is not a singular 'gift' possessed by the lucky few. It's a variety of thought processes that we can all learn to use more effectively.
You have to be a certain type to be creative. And even among those with talent, there are very few real geniuses. The rest of us can only look on in awe. Or at least that's what we've been taught.
Jonah Lehrer is here to break open that narrow thinking. He will show how creativity is not a singular 'gift' possessed by the lucky few. It's a variety of thought processes that we can all learn to use more effectively.
He'll uncover how we can do that by embracing the rut, thinking like a child, and daydreaming productively. And, in this exciting event that he won't be repeating anywhere else, he'll show us how we can experiment with his ideas for ourselves.
Along the way we'll learn about Bob Dylan's writing habits, why Elizabethan England experienced a creative explosion, and how Pixar designed its office space to get the most out of its talent.
We'll leave more certain of our own deep inventiveness and equipped with strategies to deal creatively with the challenges of our increasingly complex world.
Jonah Lehrer is a leading thinker and acclaimed author with an expertise in neuroscience. He is Contributing Editor at Wired and writes the Head Case column for The Wall Street Journal. His books include How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist. At his sermon he'll help us put into practice insights from his new book, Imagine: How Creativity Works (Canongate, 2012).

London Philosophy Club - Philosophy and Psychology: a new synthesis?
9 May 2012
The new synthesis of ancient philosophy with modern empirical psychology raises fascinating questions for philosophers and psychologists alike. Can psychology provide an evidence base for virtue ethics? Can science prove that a certain model (or models) of the good life really do lead to flourishing, as the ancients claimed? If so, do governments have a role, or even an obligation, to teach their citizens how to live well? Does philosophy still have a role to play or has psychology taken over its most important function - telling us how to live well?
This event brings together a great panel of thinkers who are trying to figure out what philosophy and psychology have to say to each other, and how they can work together.
Kristjan Kristjansson is professor of philosophy at the University of Iceland, and the author of 'Aristotle, education and the emotions', and several other books and papers looking at ancient philosophy and its place in modern psychology and theories of education. He has a book out later this year looking at Positive Psychology from a philosophical perspective.
Donald Robertson is the principal of the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy and the director of Solutions London Cognitive Therapy Centre. He is the author of The Philosophy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (2010), which looks at the ancient philosophical roots of CBT - the image above comes from his book.

Tomax Talks: Observing War, with Aernout Van Lynden
9 May 2012
ToMax Talks offer refreshing perspective. They juxtapose different angles and engage young and old. The below talk is part of the Current Affairs stream, the last of which featured the former ambassador to Afghanistan, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles on the subject of US democracy. ToMax is designed to be accessible to all, and the reasonable booking prices reflect this.
ToMax Talks juxtapose two kinds of war-observation. Veteran video journalist Aernout Van Lynden flies in from Holland to reflect on his unrivalled reportage experience. He will be joined by social anthropologist Dr. Mark de Rond.
Aernout Van Lynden flies in from Holland to reflect on his career as one of the foremost video-journalists and war reporters of his generation. Aernout was one of the few Western journalists in Iraq when Saddam Hussein's attack on Iran opened. He has worked in many war zones, more recently for Sky; His coverage of the civil war in Sarajevo is perhaps his most well-known and can be viewed here
Dr. Mark de Rond, from Cambridge's Judge Business School, is an expert in how people organise themselves in difficult situations – and he studies how they do so by living among them under the same conditions. He was given permission to work alongside medical teams at Camp Bastion, the Army base in the province of Helmand in Afghanistan, and will expand on his astonishing work there.
