Of the many things I have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, never having to worry about being hungry is a big one. Oh, I don't mean hungry as in, "it's been 5 hours since breakfast and my stomach is growling"; I mean hungry as in "it's been 5 days since I've had anything but a handful of rice to last the day."
Working at Organic Gardening has some unique perks, and one is the plentiful supply of fresh produce from our test garden during the growing season. On those days when I volunteer to help our test garden manager, Doug Hall, with the weeding and harvesting, the vegetables always taste even sweeter. Hard work always sharpens the appetite. Now that the garden is heading into its dormant season, I miss checking out the "harvest table" every Wednesday to see what Doug has grown that week.
I have a lot of 100-year-old Thanksgiving greeting postcards in my collection, and many of them feature scenes of the harvest. People were just as grateful for their daily bread a century ago. Or even 4 centuries ago—the first Thanksgiving, celebrated jointly by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people (without whose agricultural advice they would have starved), was a celebration of the harvest. Often my old postcards feature somewhat fantasized turn-of-the-century interpretations of what Pilgrims and Indians would have looked like.
Here's a harvest of Thanksgiving postcards for you to enjoy. Hope everyone has a happy, healthy Thanksgiving!

Okay, I promise this is the last corn-related posting I'll do this year. But there's something about corn that makes people want to photograph it. I found two more corny postcards in my collection:
Ephemera sometimes also featured corn:

Gardeners love to claim bragging rights to the biggest, earliest, tastiest veggies. But sometimes they can resort to…well, exaggerating a bit.
One man, William Harrison "Dad" Martin, made a name for himself a century ago by capitalizing on Midwestern farmers' pride in the abundance of their crops. He produced a series of postcards that used composite negatives—the early-20th-century equivalent of Photoshop—to insert absurdly large veggies into everyday farming photos. Such postcards, called "exaggeration" or "tall-tale" postcards, are highly collectible today.
In keeping with my corn theme this month, here are three of "Dad" Martin's fantasy images that picture enormous cobs:
Hope you all are having a very corny July!
Crazy for corn? Author Craig Summers Black gives Organic Gardening readers a corn primer in our August/September issue (plus recipes from chef George Formaro of Centro restaurant in Des Moines), and his description of Iowa's Adel Corn Festival will appear on this site soon.
I want to share some vintage postcards of another Midwest institution: the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. This "cathedral of corn" has had three incarnations: The first was built in 1892, when Mitchell had a population of only 3,000; the second, built in 1905, would soon prove too small; so a third (the current structure) was completed in 1921. Having survived a major fire in 1979, it will celebrate its centenary in 10 years.
The building never looks the same from year to year, as native grasses and thousands of ears of corn are applied inside and out to create elaborate mosaics and designs related to that year's theme. The theme for 2012, which workers began applying to the walls in June, is "Saluting Youth Activities."
In 1914, the theme was "Dutch Scenes," as you can see from my first example:
The 1929 decorations depicted the history of the state in 10-year intervals to celebrate Mitchell's 50th anniversary:
Shortly after this photo was taken, minarets and towers were added to recall some of the details of the earlier Corn Palace buildings.
Today, besides hosting a half-million tourists every year, the Corn Palace building serves as a venue for entertainers, local basketball games, and civic activities. And a testimony to the cultural significance of corn in American life.

The Cave Review
- Written by Dave Walsh
- Category: Reviews
When I first heard about Double Fine teaming up with Ron Gilbert to create a new adventure game, my interest was piqued. Alright, that is a flat-out lie, my interest was more than piqued, I quickly found myself scouring the internet for any information I could find on the upcoming title. The only way that I survived the leadup to the release of the game was doing my best to brainwash myself into forgetting that it was coming out. I wish that I was joking.
As you can probably glean from reading this, I'm a pretty big fan of adventure games, in fact, I grew up playing those games. Sure, I grew up with Mario and Doom like every other kid of the 80's and 90's as well, but the games that engrossed me the most were those crazy adventure games. I can't even explain the countless hours that I spent trying to slog my way through Maniac Mansion and the sheer frustration of not being able to solve a puzzle followed by the ecstasy of finally figuring the damned thing out.
The Cave picks up where Ron Gilbert left off with Maniac Mansion all of those years ago and makes some adjustments to appeal to modern gamers and to work on modern consoles. Basically, it is not a point-and-click adventure title because in case you haven't noticed, the concept of point-and-click is sometimes a bit cumbersome on a controller. The Cave takes this into account by opting to combine classic adventure gameplay with platforming of sorts and it works almost without fault. I say almost because there are times when the jumping is far-from perfect, but it is definitely acceptable.
The game, thematically, has a bit of a seven deadly sins vibe going on for it, with the usual light-hearted Double Fine/Ron Gilbert fare mixed in. You'll laugh a lot as the Cave itself serves as the game's narrator and as you discover comics throughout your journey showing how each character found themselves in front of that fire ready to explore The Cave. The point is to make you think about materialism, personal gains and everything else all while you have fun exploring the vast Cave system.
Each section of the Cave is a series of puzzles which you are tasked to solve to move on. These puzzles can be as simple as placing all three of your characters onto something to break through it to stuff like breaking items off of objects and placing them in other places. Unlike in past adventure games, there is no inventory system, instead each character can hold one item at a time. Some purists will scoff at this, but it adds new elements into the world of adventure games and helps the game to flow a bit better.
Sure, you won't have to deal with holding onto items for hours on end and finding some obscure use for them later on, but you still get the same sort of feel of accomplishment when you discover a use for that stupid bone that you found and were not able to find any use for. As a hardened adventure gamer I found myself stuck only a few times in the game, with this usually being remedied by just walking around a bit to explore, but your mileage may vary depending on how familiar you are with these types of games.
The fun part is that each character will have their own special section of The Cave which you must solve puzzles that revolve around their specific powers and it adds to the replay value. To see each character's story you'll need to play the game at least three times and you won't find yourself grumbling about it, either. On top of that, you'll find yourself finding interesting ways to have your characters interact with their surroundings. The Knight, for example, has this sort of holy shield that is activated and will cushion you during high drops or if someone is attacking you while the Hillbilly can hold his breath for a very long time underwater.
The game looks great and is responsive enough. The music and sound is really what you'd expect from these games, which means fun and sparse. Everything just feels right about The Cave from beginning to end. This won't be pushing your system to the limits or anything, but adventure games have never truly been about that, they are about pushing your mind further.
For just $15 it is a steal, so don't pass this one up as it is definitely one of the better games that we'll see this year. The Cave is available now for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Linux and Mac OS X.
Continue. Definitely a great game that will leave you entertained, frustrated and fulfilled. At the end of the day, this is the kind of game that I want to see more of.

Here are some stocks that are in play for tomorrow. Again, expecting things to be relatively slow tomorrow like today.
MINE – Stock is up an astonishing 10 days in a row without any major pullbacks. There was one little pullback to play today which I was able to make a few bucks off of but not really anything big. Whenever this thing pulls back it will pull back hard as it is up over 600% during that time frame.
NVLX – Previously downtrending stock that recovered well today closed at the highs, will be watching for a continuation if it can keep up the 500,000 share per 3 minute pace. Next resistance is .43.

Dora Akunyili's Show of Shame
- By namski2410
I might sound cynical, but please could someone explain to me the rational behind this re-branding campaign by Dora Akunyili? The first time I heard about this re-branding, I laughed it off as a mere blip of lazy thought by over fed politicians. To my bewilderment, a full report was later to be submitted by a re-branding committee on how to re-brand NIGERIA. I knew immediately that things are actually more serious than I initially thought. I reflected on the whole making called Nigeria, the hope I entertained when OBJ took over as civilian president, how Nigerians said NO to his third term bid, the transition (transparent or not) to another civilian government, the hope that somehow things will begin to take shape. But I paused as the word/phrase/term (which ever you choose to call it) re-branding entered my thought. I then asked myself, do we actually know our problem. One can only provide a lasting solution to a problem when one understands the problem itself. I personally do not think that it takes rocket science to do that.
This re-branding campaign by Dora sounds to me like a classic tale of chasing shadows. In spite of her excellent track record and achievement at NAFDAC, Dr Akunyili personally decided to re-launch her celebrity status by taking up the biggest show of shame in history. What I am left to struggle with now is how to reconcile Dora the NAFDAC guru and Dora the re-brander. What has even turned out to be the most ridiculous thing about this whole campaign is that each time I tune into NTAi news (albeit the poor quality of the satellite signal) the constant term on the mouth of every politician is re-branding. What a joke and a very big one for that matter this whole thing is turning into. Was there anything achieved through OBJs heart of Africa campaign despite the huge spending? I believe that we all expected so much from Dora and I personally feel let down and deeply saddened. All the hope that I had earlier entertained has been dashed and I weep seriously for my country.
Anyway, I drifted once more in my thoughts amidst the tears clouding my vision. I thought of all the small boys and girls rooming about the streets of Nigeria hawking one form of good or service, families at the brink of total collapse as a result of hunger, incessant fuel scarcity, university graduates turned into miscreants as a result of no jobs, elderly people dying because there is no one to care for them, the poor state of infrastructure and low capacity utilisation, the poor state of disrepair of all the death traps called main roads, the police, high robbery and burglary rate and so on. I then weighed the $1million (from unconfirmed source) well justified spending cap of public funds on this bogus project and thought to myself are there no better means to put this money and the fact that the budget was quoted in dollars and not in naira.
What this whole campaign tells me is that we want as a nation, to carry out an image laundering exercise (i.e. invariably admitting a nationalised 419 status) which I consider as a CRIME. My deepest worry now is that should we manage to score a point from this exercise and say for instance be able to deceive a foreigner into trusting and coming to Nigeria either for investment or to take a tourist holiday. Does this campaign provide for any extra security of these innocent people? Have we thought of what the implication will be if such persons get robbed of their belongings, kidnapped or even killed? Please what image management campaign did Ghana carry out to attract US President Barrack Obama?
It is time that we get wise and say a BIG NO to this wasteful spending of tax payers money and of valuable time as well. Like the King Herod washed his hands off the death of Jesus Christ, I wash my own hands off the blood/guilt of keeping silent, of the betrayal of innocent foreigners we want to deceive into visiting Nigeria, robbing them of their belongings, kidnapping them for ransom or even killing them. I rest my case.
Forumites please what are your thoughts?

What is the rationale for re-branding? Mrs. Rebranding should start from herself. As a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is she not involved in under-the-table deals? Has she not awarded or cause to be awarded frivolous contracts? We are still waiting for her reactions to the recent scandal in the press over her award of contracts to companies that never exist on the records of the Company Registry in Nigeria. Re-branding is another language for corruption in high places!
Loved it,
Young Tunde
In defense of Dora's "re-branding" campaign, it is a good thing. For the first time in recent memory we have a govt that is starting to show some sign of thinking and actually doing something to defend the country from lies and media propaganda. No nation has successfully emerged from third world to a developing society or developed society without some form of 're-branding" or its own propaganda.
Think about it, for the first time the govt is actually trying to brand itself instead of having other countries and media brand it. Africa is not marketable. It the least marketable continent on planet earth. No country in Africa is marketable when it comes to anything else beside oil. African countries are seen as war ravaged, corrupt, disease, hunger, and poor. People often ask me "Are you from Africa?" or "do people in Africa still live in trees and walk around naked?" The rest of the world is ignorant of the countries in africa. They only see the terrible and bad stuff which the media projects to them. All the images we see of the continent is of war and disease and children with flies on their face and people with AIDS/ HIV.
We have to learn from our friends, the Chinese. Today, nobody talks or thinks about "communist China". Why? Chinese successfully re-branded themselves with exportable products, tourism, and open market even though the chinese govt is still as bad as before.
Folks, wake up from your low-self esteem mentality. Start believing in the goodness of your own country. Be proud of your country. one thing we do well as nigerians is talk about how bad nigeria is. infact, when two or three nigerians meet, the conversation will eventually end up on how terrible corruption is in nigeria. It has become our favorite past time thing to do: Trash talk our own govt. I understand the skepticism of Nigeria govt. Don't get me wrong, our leaders are uneducated fools with money in their minds. They are inept and have no clue. Just look at the national assembly -- the legislooters.
What do you do when somebody spread lies about you? what happens when people are afraid to come near you becuase of your color and "reputation" of your kind? You fight back and go on the offense. I recently saw the movie "DISTRICT 9". And believe me, it was not favorable to nigerians. Imagine millions of people who saw the movie believing nigerians are barbaric ritualist and a pest to any society where ever they are. Such movies promote bad image for Nigeria. And it is such image of nigeria that we do not want.
Dora's "re-branding" campaign should not be dismissed as fruitless but should be embraced and promoted to work to the goodness of our great country. It is not the only thing going on in govt to promote nigeria, there are other projects too going on. Re-branding is a way to bring all the goodness of this country together and show the world that Nigeria is a walking progress.
The answer is simple, Nigerian leaders are not recognised abroad thats why they use other nationals to embezzle Nigeria's resources.
At the moment Nigerian leaders are often swindled by these nationals so by re-branding Nigeria our foolish leaders in smart skin thinks it will enable the international bodies to embrace them so they can easily perpetuate their decietful acts(this will be the game of death for Nigeria).
Nigeria as a country will be great only if we the followers are resolute in the way we view our corrupt leaders.The accolades Dora received when she was the DG Nafdac was giving to her by the press.Honestly speaking,her feat as DG has been trivialised by the incumbent DG of Nafdac.You don't have to be a celebrity to fight just course,Dora was a celebrity fighting the fake drugs war.
The rebranding of naija started when Dora gave her daughter out in marriaage to a white man.I dnt have any problem with that,love comes in different shapes and colours but I still dnt believe in coincidence.Re-branding project has failed before it even started,what is there to rebrand when the state is in total collapse..The initiator of this thread had said it all,what rebranding project did ghana do b4 Obama visited?Dora shld ask herself this single question.........
Sometimes i feel like weeping for this country. Just when you feel someone is putting his best in the running of the affairs of this country, the next minutes its different. You begin to wonder, could this really be the Dora Akunyili of NAFDAC. How can a nation that is at the verge of collapse talk about re-branding. The re-branding we need now is our politicians, lets have a different attitude towards running public offices. Let our leaders have the interest of the nation at heart, then it will have a multiplier effect on the followers naturally, then we can start talking about re-branding the country.
You need not wash your hands because foreigners do their home-work before visiting a country. They don't blindly or foolishly rush to a country. That said, I am in complete agreement with you on this re-branding thing. There is nothing to re-brand about Nigeria. Nigeria needs a surgical operation to address her multi-facete problems.
The reason Dora Akunyili came up with the re-branding thing is she wants to show her boss, Yar'Adua, that she is doing something in her ministry. Nigeria government ministries and officials lack the necessary think-thank group that will come up with new ideas on how to move the country forward. So, when someone like Dora come up with something, people will jump to it even though there's nothing to it.
Instead of re-branding, I will support re-introduction of War Against Indiscipline. However, even before that is done, the government should try to provide the necessary infrastructure and enabled the enviroment for people to thrive.

It is a pity here. Many of them say am working for my father's land the the truth has become a open secret that most peoples' real behavior can only be know at the contest or struggle for a purpose which you and I know.... "Power" they say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely...... Tell me why on earth why will Akuyinli take this offer info'liar' minister? Did her record or antecedent match that? She was a fool who can not read from the wall that it is a tactics to end her political career. Sorry Akuyili, really you will make money from lie adverts and other estacodes but I can tell you that I can read from your activities that you are highly uncomfortable with your position cos you don't know how to manage such and you have become a puppet and stooge that is used to perpetuate the entrenching evil that had already pervaded the lot of atmosphere.
What of if you reject this position? Do you know it might have given you an edge to hold a better position in the nearest future.
Poor you in this situation which you found yourself and have no control over.
Yes dora let us down, what surprises me is dat she is really shameless. Our female politicians (COS DATS WAT SHE HAS BECOME) these days seem to be weak in character, lOOK at d INEC comissioner case, d woman who claimed 2 av a conscience and later reversed her decision.

Life can be funny. Growing up in Glen Cove, John Melillo did not even know there was a Village of Sands Point just across Hempstead Harbor. Yet, in one of life's quirky twists, John Melillo became an integral part of the Sands Point community, spending most of his adult life working as a Sands Point police officer. When Melillo retired after 41 years of service, many of the residents he served so loyally for so long, along with his fellow police officers, turned out to mark the occasion at a celebratory dinner at the Village Club.
John Melillo started his professional life with the Nassau County Department of Corrections, a job he took because it provided benefits and stability. It wasn't too long before he realized the corrections department was not for him and he moved on to the Long Island Railroad Police Force with challenging assignments from Montauk to Brooklyn.
But Melillo was looking for something that would offer more personal gratification and he found it with the Sands Point Police Department. Melillo loved the community interaction afforded him by being part of a small police department. He got to know the village residents. He is able to recount many memorable, often humorous, experiences, like the time a raccoon was caught in an automatic garage door. Responding to the call, Officer Melillo suggested lowering the door and that worked. The raccoon scampered out unharmed. "There were many calls like that. Residents tended to call us for everything including frozen pipes. We always responded, did what we could and told them who to call. Our presence seemed reassuring."
There were challenges to the job outside the line of duty, such as pay, benefits and poor equipment. Melillo remembers having to rent cars when the department was short of equipment and observing another police car as the light fell off the roof. Police cars were not air-conditioned and the men had to change into uniforms in a leaky basement. Melillo became an activist on the police force. He advocated for pay parity with the Nassau County Police Force, increased benefits and better working conditions. He eventually became PBA President and held that position for 23 years.
While Officer Melillo made his mark in the community and with his fellow officers, he also became a symbol of a bygone era, when people took a job for a lifetime. There was a sense of loyalty to the employer. In his job interview so many years ago, when asked, "How do we know how long you will stay?" His answer, "I don't plan on leaving," proved him to be a man of his word. Melillo says that for him it was easy. "I loved what I did. The people were great. I always wanted to be close to the community."

We've been waiting all week for la Moss to make an appearance at London Fashion Week and when she didn't even turn up to support fellow supermodel Naomi Campbell at her charity event Fashion for Relief last night we practically gave up hope. Then finally last night she emerged and in true Kate Moss style - flitting between 5 parties (with a wardrobe change in tow). We first caught sight of her backstage at Vivienne Westwood's S/S 09 show where she was being paraded around by hair guru Guido and acting like a shy school girl. She took her place on the FROW in a black tuxedo jacket and YSL platform shoes sipping champagne in a plastic glass. Then it was off the Vogue's Celebration of Fashion party at the Browns Hotel in Mayfair, where she slipped into a cute mini-dress. She clearly adopted Allegra Versace there and the two headed to Vivienne Westwood's rammed after-party at 33 Portland Place. They didn't last long there though. Within the hour she was in a black cab hot-footing it to Soho's PUNK with another hair maestro James Brown and Sir Philip Green and wife in tow. Some people might have called it a night after that. But not Kate Moss. She went onto the partying into the early hours of the morning at LFW favourite late-night haunt Bungalow 8. Phew! That Kate's sure got stamina - even if her self-cut hair didn't quite look as glam as she did by the end. What time will Ms Moss emerge today we wonder? Well we'll be watching - and we'll keep you posted. Bet she's got RayBans on...

Product Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5 by debgspz from Very unhappy I loved the moziac glass, that part is good although 1 foot long is really too small. My problem is with the ugly white fixture that goes under the decorative glass piece. My husband and I have been trying to make this look decent all day with no luck. When you hang the fixture up and then place the bulbs in it, you then want to hang the glass piece over it. Ours does not hide the very ugly white round fixture. Also you can see too much of the light bulbs. It seems to be that there is a flaw in the making of these lights. Why do they have such ugly fixtures for people to see??Had this glass been 1 ir 2 inches bigger it would have maybe worked for us.

Shawty Redd Reportedly Arrested On Murder Suspicion
Per those reports, first seen online at Gyant Unplugged, Redd had company at his Georgia home today (January 1, 2010). The guests were associates of the producer, but verbal and physical threats ensued. The threatening party was subsequently shot and killed. At approximately 5:30 pm EST, police reached the scene. Arrests, including Shawty Redd, were made.
Shawty Redd has still not formally been accused of murder. That decision will be made after a meeting with his attorney and the Henry County District Attorney. During Redd's court appearance, Judge Brown explained the charges to the producer and held him on bond. The appearance was filmed by Rahiem Shabazz for Rasha Entertainment. During an interview with a Henry County sherriff, Shabazz and writers from HipHopEnquirer.com found out the following information.
"While Shawty Redd was entitled to have been represented by a court appointed attorney for his bond hearing, he decided that since his own attorney was not in town at the moment, he wanted his case postponed for another date. As a result, Magistrate Judge Brown rescheduled his bond hearing for January 12 in which case he must remain in custody until the hearing."

Police say they have leads in the case of juveniles attacking people on a Madison bike path. Police say the young people forced one man from his bike. They attacked another on his rollerblades.
On this East Side bike path biking is hot on any given summer day.
"We go biking a lot," Nicole Rosenthal says.
This time the mom of three took her two-year-old daughter along for the ride.
"We biked downtown to see dad for lunch," she says.
Rosenthal says having three children makes her vigilant about safety.
She remembers a number of robberies on this path several years ago.
"I remember hearing that it was one to three juveniles, teens that were jumping people and to stay with a partner after dark," she says.
A similar series of incidents happened Monday on a bike path across town.
"I don't know the motive, but it's sad when something like this happens because these are just innocent people out enjoying themselves on a bike path," Mike Hanson of Madison police says.
Police say three separate attacks on men happened between 7:30 and 8:30 in the evening on the path near Verona Road and Allied Drive.
"It doesn't appear any items were stolen at this point," Hanson says.
Police say in one of the incidents on Monday, a man from Middleton was rollerblading in this area when a number of young people blocked his path, then attacked him.
"The interesting thing is to the victim, this probably lasted hours in their head, but these happen so quick and fast that you're stunned by it and you don't realize you're being attacked until it's almost over," Hanson says.
Police do not believe Monday's attacks are gang related.
They're still trying to determine whether they're related at all.
Meantime, police encourage people always and everywhere to keep a watchful eye.
"We try and be safe, but we're not afraid of it," Rosenthal says.
Police made one arrest. They're still investigating suspects and a fourth incident that happened late last week.
They recommend people travel on bike paths with others, if possible.
Also go during the day and know your surroundings.

VirtualBox 3.1 with Improved Management.
Ever since Sun bought the virtualization smith Innotek in 2008, the development of its VirtualBox has taken giant strides.
Although VirtualBox 3.1 is designated a minor release, the changelog shows some important updates in snapshot management apart from numerous bugfixes. The new release also allows migrating a live VM session from host to host.
Sun has been satisfying what looks to be the steady growth of users with almost monthly versions of VirtualBox. Whereas the changes to the last major release 3.0 update were less than spectacular, the current version provides some important and for users quite sensible new features. The snapshot function saw some especially fundamental revisions. Any previous snapshot can now be restored to be the current VM state and new snapshots can be branched from existing ones.
Live migration is a new feature, called teleportation, in VirtualBox that is based more on business requirements. It allows porting a VM session on a running basis from host to host.
Sun also reports a performance improvement for PAE and AMD64 guests in the changelog. Network performance underwent some changes as well. It's now possible to adjust network settings for the VM while it's running and the implemented NAT can act as a DNS proxy.
The free VirtualBox software under a personal use and evaluation license is available for download as packages for Linux distros in addition to Windows and Mac OS X. Sun also provides the source code for VirtualBox OSE, the open source edition under GPLv2 license.

Jackie of Greenway Tours took us (via mini-bus with driver) to a resort area in the forest. She led us on a hike through the forest, including over several hanging bridges, while four others on our minibus did zip-lining. We also enjoyed a boat ride to see crocodiles, ate lunch at a local spot with a gift shop attached, drove through the countryside and toured through the city. Jackie was great about explaining Costa Rican culture (Pura Vida!) and we came away with a high regard for the country and its people.

The food was good.
The value of the coupon was not honored. We ordered within the limits of the requirements, however, we were billed an additional $18. When we spoke to the manager about the discrepancy, he said that the value of the coupon was a "suggested" amount. We will not be going back. Also, the dining room was extremely loud.

3-Way dead end...
Hi guys. Wi-Fi problem.
I have a Linksys WRT54G2 Router, and a Fujitsu Siemens laptop with NO WLAN CARD (yes, it's pretty old - connects with a TP-LINK TL-WN821N USB Adapter)
Now here's the deal:
Whenever the Laptop is turned on and the adapter is plugged, it displays Wi-Fi networks accordingly, but the weird thing is that if I try to connect to my home network it says "Cannot connect to DarkNET". Tried troubleshooting, tried network & sharing center... Nothing. The only possible solution is to go to the router, (192.168.1.1) log in, and then just change some wireless setting to something else. For example the wireless channel frequency (It's 2.462 by default):
Once I do that and get out of the router, the other side gets the internet PERFECTLY - really fast and with no disconnections, interruptions or whatever. Biggest misery is that my dad has an HP laptop (a bit newer; 2x core AMD, WLAN card - built in) and also connects to the same network but has NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! He's on XP Media Center Edition with SP3 and that's where it gets tricky. There is no way of understanding whether it's the router that's lagging up (although I don't think so), my mom's edition of 7 or that TP-LINK USB thing.
Most likely for it to be the USB device. My previous router was also by the TP-LINK brand and it died real fast (lasted only 9 months, dunno why), so it is MOST likely for this stupid TP-LINK thing to be the problem... I've already upgraded router firmware and the problem is still here.

A little about me...
It seems to me that at our time of life, what we seek above all is a comfortable companionship where there is warmth and support, understanding and love as well as a special spark that makes us smile at one another. It's important that we have some interests in common and that we share similar world view s. I am an educated, aesthetic, non-religious, left-leaning, warm-hearted, affectionate woman who loves the arts, children, nature, and the company of wonderful friends as well as family members. I am a professional, an educator and an artist. I am health conscious and exercise by swimming regularly. I love being in the water, by the water and on the water. In fact, kayaking in the marshes of Cape Cod is one of my all time favorite activities. Also, I love music, especially concert music in great concert hall; in fact, I am a long time subscriber to the NY Philharmonic. New York and Boston are cities I visit regularly and would enjoy living in or near. If you think that our interests and views are similar and that we might build a satisfying partnership, a message from you would be most welcome.
About the one I'm looking for...
A wonderful man--with a big heart and sharp mind who shares some of my interests, who understands the meaning of partnership, and who is looking for a loving woman to share the best that this world has to offer.
I'd just like to add...
At this point---"All we need is love!" We've found our way, feel good about our accomplishments and are seeking a true heart-to-heart connection. In spite of loses and disappointments, we still have a positive outlook and feel that we can and will love again.

Lingerie of the day: Freya 'just flew in' D+ longline bra
Longline bras are a really lovely change from the classic plunge or balconette, and can work really well under high-waisted styles or poking out from an unbuttoned shirt, but if you need a so-called 'specialist' size, your options can be a bit limited when it comes to this fashion style.
Luckily, Freya has really fallen for the shape, as has its dedicated shoppers, and as a result we can expect at least one longline bra in Freya's D+ cup sizes most seasons. This time around, the prettiest offering is the lilac 'Just Flew In' style (£35 at Leia Lingerie), which has a bit of Eastern influence in the print, combining cream leaves with brushstroke tropical birds.
It's available up to a G cup in 30 - 38 back sizes. The matching shorts shown in the picture are £15, but there's also a brief and a thong if you prefer (or if you want extra choice).

Recently I started retro-fitting the MeLikeDrinks.com drink website to cache frequently used data to improve performance, as such I wrote a light, custom cache API which sits on top of PHP's Memcached API. Because I follow TDD principles, I wrote out the tests first, which helped me write out the API calls needed to support the application, but when it came time to actually get the memcached service on my CentOS box, I ran into all sorts of confusion, which motivated me to write this article. It is my hope that this article will help alleviate any confusion others may face when they decide to dive into the cache pool.

Kari, Lauren, Hannah, Johanna, Angela, and Courtney create an a capella Jingle that ties the musical group together, despite their geographical distance. Each member sings their individual part, musing on how Folgers® Coffee signals the start of a new day. Once recorded, the parts are mixed, edited, and incorporated into a cohesive song that captures the essence of a new morning.
Music truly becomes the bond that brings us together… that's the one thread that connects us all.
Kari FrancisLauren BarrieroHannah JulianoJohanna VinsonAngela UgoliniCourtney Godwin
Kari is the vocal percussionist for a six-person all-female vocal band. Each member comes from a different background, lifestyle, and part of the country. And while the Internet keeps them connected, music is the bond that ties them together. Solo artist turned member of a supergroup, Kari believes that the voice is a spectacular instrument. Using her gift, she and the other members teach workshops at local schools and universities, hoping to pass on a passion for a capella.
Top of Page ►
[KARI PLAYING CYMBALS]: And so when I do that, I do a "pssss" or a "tssss." My name is Kari Francis. I'm a vocal percussionist, and I live in Rochester, New York.
We're a female pop vocal band composed of six members from all across the United States. So, we do most of our work when we're not together. We either email or chat and just record things online and send them to each other, and we're able to make something that otherwise wouldn't be able to happen at all.
We're all very close to each other's personal lives and, frankly, we regard each other as sisters. So, Lauren wrote the original verse for the Folgers® Jingle Contest and roughed out an arrangement, and then sent that to me, Jo, Angela, Hannah, and Courtney, and we all collaborated and recorded and sent it back to Angela to mix and then the video to me to edit. And then we put that all together and submitted it.
There's something very human and accessible about just the voice.
[KARI]: One really neat thing is that we get to travel around and work with other collegiate a cappella groups and help them find their sound and fine-tune what they're doing and, ultimately, pass along our passion for a cappella and hopefully get them interested in it as well.

This week March 27 saw Wonderbra award the honours list for this year's National Cleavage day in preparation for the International Cleavage Day on March 31.
Always controversial the days of Cleavage Day are intended to be a bit of light hearted fun, a day of confidence and pride.
The breast of British celebrity honours list has once again been assembled by the Cleavage Honours Committee. The committee's panel is assembled by Wonderbra, consisting of a number of breast experts (Wonderbra designers) and winners of the title from previous years, Holly Willoughby and Carol Voderman acted as Dames of the Cleavage this year.
Celebrating the best cleavage moments of the year, it takes far more than a willingness to put ones puppies on displays to make the list. Many many factors are involved; quantity and quality of cleavage display as well as the cleavage itself must be taken into account.
After many hours of feeling their way through the potential winners the Panel had made its decision. With a bumper year of cleavage moments to consider, it is a luxury to have this much cleavage at ones fingertips.
Holly Willoughby took the crown for the second year in a row for her full frontal displays on the TV show The Voice.Holly was also given the highest accolade of a Cleavage Knighthood for her work.
Taking second place on the list Carol Vorderman was also handed the honour of a Knighthood of the order of the Breast, bestowing the title CBE (Commander of the Breast Empire) for her stunning display at the Pride of Britain Awards.
Cheryl Cole, Pippa Middleton, Tulisa, Rylan Clark, Helen Flanagan, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Katherine Jenkins and Sam Faiers complete the list of Breast Dressed celebrities for 2013, all honoured with the title of OBE (Officer of the Breast Empire).
Michelle Keegan took the honour of Cleavage of the Year, with a body made for bikini's Michelle was also put into the Hall of Fame for her near perfect breasts. After bursting onto the scene in 2007 playing Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street Michelle has won 'Sexiest Female' award at the BSA (British Soap Awards), winning 4 years in a row.
National Cleavage Day awards wouldn't be complete without Kate Upton who this year won the popular vote for beat breast in the business.
"We wanted to have a bit of fun on this year's National Cleavage Day and to congratulate those who made the Wonderbra Cleavage Honours List 2013," said Martina Alexander from Wonderbra UK.
The Sun also ran a readers survey for the occasion, asking women how often they put their cleavage on display. 40% of women admitted to being Confident Cleavagers that flaunt their cleavage daily with pride. 25% best described themselves as Closet Cleavagers who avoid drawing attention to their bust while the last 35% are part timers, Part-Time Cleavagers that only put twins on display for special occasions and weekends.
As the controversy settles once again the winners of this year's National Cleavage Day become clear. Holly Willoughby, Kate Upton and Michelle Keegan all took accolades but we are all the winners when Nation Cleavage Day passes by once again.
