1 answer

Q:Since there are no preservaties in this body butter, should it be used on wet or dry skin?Asked on 5/28/2015 by Sunshine Rainbow Flowers
5 answers
A:The body butters are intended for use on wet skin, as they will glide along the skin much easier and are meant to be rinsed off afterwards. Just make sure to keep the bar dry between uses since they are preservative-free like you mentioned!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Use on wet skin. When you dry off there is a lovely coating of body butter on your skin. It's amazing really. Make sure you clean your tub afterwards or you could slip! You could step out of the shower wet and do it as well.Answered on 5/29/2015 by Anonymous
A:It definitely works best on wet skin.Answered on 5/29/2015 by Anonymous
A:I don't know what preservatives would have to do with it either way, but you use it in the shower, on wet clean skin, then rinse off. And when you get out, you don't have to rub to get dry—just blot.Answered on 5/29/2015 by Anonymous
A:Wet skin always. When using this product in the shower (not bath), the
ground almond, rice and bean mixture is left on the skin once you slather
it on, so water is necessary to rinse it away after washing the skin with
it. If you use a bath, this same product will be in the water you are
sitting in, so it is not an ideal place to be using this product in. Great,
great, great product!!!!Answered on 5/29/2015 by Anonymous

A:The Buffy is for use in the shower & leaves your skin so soft. It does NOT lather. You use it while wet then dab yourself dry.
Sent from Nikki's iPadAnswered on 4/27/2015 by Anonymous
A:Right—it is not a soap. I wash first, then finish by smoothing Buffy over myself before I get out. It also makes drying off easier—you just have to blot, rather than rubbing.Answered on 4/27/2015 by Anonymous
A:NO SUDS. Not a soap. It feels like a block of butter, literally with pumice
stone. So as you shower, and GENTLY (trust me you wish gently) run it along
your body areas, it will slough off while placing down butter moisturizer.
If you have very bad dry heels on the feet, this bar is sooooo for you!!! I
love it!!!Answered on 4/27/2015 by Anonymous
A:The Buffy definitely does not lather. However, it's one of my favorite Lush
products!!! After washing with your usual soap or body wash, you rub the
Buffy all over the skin. It leaves a bumpy, oily, moisturizing residue, if
you will, over the skin that you wash off. Once it's washes off, the
moisture remains and smells really good. I use it specifically on my arms,
concentrating on my elbows. They stay moisturizer all day long! It's also
great on freshly shaved legs for a super smooth feel!Answered on 4/27/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I've noticed that other products have expiration dates on them in your stores and I left without checking for one on this product. Is there a specific time frame this should be used or will it last for a long time?Asked on 11/17/2014 by Kimberly
2 answers
A:If you keep the bar dry and in a well drained container, it can last for up to 14 months!Answered on 11/19/2014 by Serena from LUSH Direct
A:Mine lasted for a pretty long time, but I use it all over my body and it was gone by two months or so. get a tin case or a container for it though, I left it out on the tub once and it got little purple spots on it.

Q:Can I use this for my eczema? I have tried many treatments from dermatologists I prefer Natural products. My eczema is mainly on my elbows, arms and knees.Asked on 8/28/2014 by Tamy Tan
2 answers
A:Buffy is great for eczema as long as there is no broken skin as if can be quite exfoliating.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:YES. I tried all sorts of things prescription and not, and this is the first product that really made a difference. I've used it about four times now and my skin is already almost completely clear (and it was rrrreally bad before)Answered on 9/18/2014 by Kat from Upstate NY
Q:Hello. Is this safe to you use on kids? A 2 year old in particular? I keep hearing great reviews when it comes to KP and I just found out may daughter has KP. Thank you!Asked on 8/21/2014 by Jen
2 answers
A:I wouldn't recommend it on someone so young. It may be a little intense for there sensitive skin. I would consult your pediatrician!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I would consult your pediatrician. Lubrication is always good for KP (any
good cream or lotion: Cetaphil, Lac-Hydrin, etc.), but I'm not sure that
exfoliation is appropriate for a two-year-old.Answered on 8/22/2014 by Anonymous
I have KP and want to try buffy. I am pregnant. Is it safe to use at this stage?Asked on 2/25/2014 by Chick
3 answers
A:Many customers have had a lot of success using Buffy for KP so it is definitely one we would recommend. While Buffy doesn't contain anything that is harmful to use during pregnancy, we always recommend speaking with your physician before using new products to ensure that you are using what is best for your individual needs!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I am not any kind of medical professional, so you might want to consult your
doctor before trying anything new.
BUT, first, I don't think Buffy could possibly have any harmful effect on
your baby, as its action is completely external and it does not enter the
blood stream.
Do read the list of ingredients before you order, to make sure there is
nothing in it that raises a red flag in your particular case.
With reference to the KP, the exfoliating action is very mild and might
actually be beneficial.
Pregnancy can do weird things to your sense of smell, so I would order the
small size first to see if you like it.
Good luck!Answered on 2/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:Buffy is a very moisturizing abrasive bar. Think of sandpaper that is well
moisturized. You would have to be very careful on the amounts of pressure
you use while using this bar. I am unsure how sensitive or maybe your skin
has thinned due to pregnancy, but be careful. First check with your
prenatal doctor before using. That would be the very best advice I could
offer.Answered on 2/26/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I have hyper-pigmented patches on my body. Will this help lighten it? If not which product can you recommend for it?Asked on 2/11/2014 by Ann from Manhattan,NY
1 answer
A:This may help lighten skin that may have darker patches due to skin cell build up. It's scrubby texture helps buff away the dead skin, leaving the skin a bit brighter!Answered on 3/6/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:Is this product intended for use in-shower or after-shower?Asked on 11/8/2013 by Daisy
4 answers
A:The Buffy Body Butter is intended to be used under water in the bath or shower. Our body butters are designed to melt at body temperature, so I recommend that you keep them safely out of direct sunlight and somewhere cool. I hope this helps!Answered on 11/15/2013 by Lydia
A:Yes, that's the beauty of it. When you get out of the shower, you just blot
dry, and you're done!Answered on 11/9/2013 by Anonymous
A:This product is great in the shower! I would not use it after a shower as
you'll want to rinse the exfoliating thingies off. Be sure to store the bar
in a plastic baggy, if you let shower water run on it, it will dissolve
too quickly. Also, spray your shower down with a cleaner after or it will
be pretty slippery. I know this sounds like a lot of instructions, but it's
worth it. The bar makes your skin so soft!Answered on 11/8/2013 by Anonymous
A:Using the buffy bar is the very last thing I do in the shower. I let all
the little granules wash off and pat dry my skin with a towel. It's one
of my most favorite Lush products!Answered on 11/8/2013 by Anonymous
Q:On average how long will a bar last (7oz), is it recommended daily, weekly?Asked on 5/14/2013 by Sisicrissy from Merritt Island, FL
3 answers
A:The length of time the bar lasts really depends on how often you are use it. Most people will probably find they don't need to use it daily, as it is very moisturizing and you should feel the effects for a couple of days after use. Just make sure to stay out of the shower stream when you use it, as the hot water will melt the bar away quicker.Answered on 9/27/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:This bar goes pretty fast. My husband and I both use it about once a week. You don't want to over exfoliate your body. I estimate that it lasted me about two months But my husband and I only used it once a week.Answered on 6/5/2013 by Sarahbobs from Escondido , CA
A:I use it every time I shower (which is every-other-day) on my bottom, legs, and arms- and my bar lasts well over a month. I keep it outside of the shower so it doesn't melt from the steam. I have also found that if I have the bathroom fan on it isn't affected by any steam at all. I hope this helpsAnswered on 6/6/2013 by Nomi-omi from Isla Vista, CA
Q:Does this product help with body acne?Asked on 5/14/2013 by DJ
1 answer
A:We do not recommend Buffy to help with body acne as it is very rich because of the cocoa and shea butters and may aggravate acne.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:is it safe for me to use it on my face?Asked on 4/26/2013 by Anna from Ontario,CA
2 answers
A:We don't recommend the body butters for use on the face simply because they are formulated for use on the thicker skin of the body. Different areas of your body have different needs, which is why we create specific products intended for various parts of the body. It's definitely best to look for something formulated for use on the face!Answered on 9/18/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I wouldn't recommend it as it's a heavy moisturizer and it may make your face feel greasy or oily.Answered on 5/3/2013 by Steph-honey from San Jose, CA
Q:how do you store your buffy? i got the large one, and it does not fit in any of the tins i have.Asked on 4/13/2013 by pitbullmama82 from dallas
2 answers
A:The body butter tins are made to accommodate the smaller size of body butters, and unfortunately are not big enough for the large Buffy bar. You are more than welcome to store it in any container that will keep it free of moisture.Answered on 9/23/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I know some people who cut it with a knife into pieces. I honestly just set mine on a towel outside of the shower so it doesn't get wet.Answered on 4/14/2013 by Ashley the Product Junkie from Baltimore, MD
Q:How often can you use this product (Once a week, everyday)?Asked on 3/9/2013 by Lay from Denver , CO
2 answers
A:Buffy can be used as often as you like depending on what works best for your skin type. Because it is quite exfoliating, we usually recommend starting with about two times per week and increasing use if need be!Answered on 8/16/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use it at least 3 times a week, but can't see why everyday use wouldn't work (I only use it 3 times a week because it lasts longer). I see it as a lotion, which loads of people use everyday? :) Hope that helps!Answered on 4/10/2013 by Love me Lush from Fresno, Ca

A:I plan on using this daily for my arms to help treat my Karatosis Pilaris which are those annoying red bumps some people get on their upper arms...but it really depends on the sensitivity of your skin. The bar is pretty rough so if you have sensitive skin I would maybe do every other day or maybe a couple times a week.Answered on 3/4/2013 by Kelsey B. from Saint Joseph, MO
Q:Can I use it shave? Like use it instead of using shaving cream?Asked on 1/29/2013 by Meg
1 answer
A:We don't generally recommend using the body butters to shave, simply because they are very thick, and meant to work as an in-shower lotion. Because of their texture, they are a little bit too thick for a razor, and could potentially clog the blades. We do have a number of shaving creams that are formulated specifically for use with razors!Answered on 3/8/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Does Buffy help with ingrown hairs???Asked on 1/20/2013 by Anonymous
2 answers
A:While Buffy isn't designed specifically to help with ingrown hairs, it does provide exfoliation, which helps to release ingrown hairs. Over time, it also helps to keep the skin smooth and moisturized, and less susceptible to ingrown hairs to a degree.Answered on 8/15/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I found it helped the ones that get caught under the very first layer of skin. I don't know about deeper ones. You might want to consult a skin care expert (ie: doctor or esthetician) first.Answered on 3/16/2013 by Nomi-omi from Isla Vista, CA
Q:Is this good for cellulite? I read it in one of the reviews..Asked on 5/5/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Buffy can definitely help improve the texture of the skin by giving a good exfoliation as well as stimulation for circulation in this area which can be helpful for improving the skin's natural detoxification processes. Give it a try!Answered on 5/11/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:Can you use it as soap?Asked on 4/5/2012 by Anonymous
7 answers
A:There are no cleansing ingredients in the Buffy to remove dirt, oil, or bacteria, so I'd still recommend using a bar soap or shower gel before the Buffy. You will find the Buffy helps to slough away dead skin cells, but I wouldn't consider it an antibacterial or cleansing product.Answered on 4/9/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:no you can't. it's not cleansing, it's literally a exfoiliating lotion bar.Answered on 4/10/2012 by rosec from chicago il
A:Yes! It smells good, and it's exfoliating AND moisturizing. I know that sounds loony, but it's true!Answered on 4/12/2012 by Betsey Brutal from Philadelphia, PA
A:It doesn't lather, and it has seeds..plus it will not last very long if you use on your whole body, so I would say no.Answered on 4/24/2012 by Erin the lush luster from MD, USA
A:Well I don't but I don't see why not, I use it with {depending on what mood I am in} Karma/Sultana of Soap/Bohemian/Alkmaar or whatever wonderful Lush Soap I happen to have in my stash.Answered on 4/30/2012 by eyeloveclapton77 from Noblesville, Indiana
A:Eh, you could I suppose...but it doesn't lather AT ALL, and as it sticks to the skin, it doesn't really remove dirt and oils. I wouldn't recommend it. But its perfect post soap.Answered on 5/2/2012 by Lady Ingrid from Wisconsin
A:It definitely leaves the skin clean and fresh smelling after you use it, so I would say yes it can be used as a soap. Just an exfoliating soap.Answered on 5/10/2012 by Jennifer from Grand Junction, CO
Q:Does this help with Keratosis Pilaris???Asked on 1/22/2012 by LavendarDQ from Wake Forest, NC
7 answers
A:This product 'body butter' is mainly used to soften skin. Keratosis is a skin condition where your hair follicles harden. This may help with the condition but it will not cure it. There is prescription medication to help with Keratosis.Answered on 1/25/2012 by Community Answer from None
A:Yes- many find it helps to exfoliate away the red bumps typically experienced with Keratosis Pilaris, and helps keep the skin moisturized and smooth.Answered on 1/24/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:somewhat-- for slight casesAnswered on 2/4/2012 by shoejunkie from Honolulu, HI
A:YES! I mentioned this to my Lush Salesperson (also a close friend) and she actually recommended Buffy *because* of my keratosis!
I find that it works better than any other exfoliation or moisturization product I have ever tried!Answered on 2/28/2012 by LittleBird from Olathe, KS
A:Yes! I loved it for those pesky bumps. I used it dry and then rinsed of. It will leave you very red because of the extreme exfoliation but it doesn't last long and it gets it much smoother that way.Answered on 4/2/2012 by Amalya from Roanoke, VA
A:I used Buffy for the first time yesterday after leaving my Kertaosis alone for years (I had a prescription for it for a while but never faithfully used it as it didn't help that much). In one day, I've seen a noticeable difference in my skin! My bumps are disappearing and are less red! It's kind of amazing. I'm pretty new to Lush but I know I'll be buying Buffy again when I use up my bar!Answered on 5/31/2012 by Claire from Chicago, IL
A:I have been trying all sorts of products for my KP for years and years, things prescribed by doctors too and NOTHING ever really worked... Expect for now. This bar is AMAZING. After one use, just ONE, my KP was reduced by 50%. If you want your body burden gone buy this product.Answered on 3/3/2013 by BuffyUser from Oakland, Ca

Charlestown woman missing; feared in danger
Kelly Robarge
CHARLESTOWN, N.H. The New Hampshire attorney generals office is investigating the disappearance of a 42-year-old Charlestown woman, a dental hygienist working in Springfield, Vt.
Authorities said Kelly J. Robarge was probably injured or worse.
The investigation has revealed that Kelly likely suffered significant physical harm or death, the attorney generals office said in a statement.
About 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Charlestown police received a report that Robarge had not been seen or heard from since late morning that day, according to a news release from the attorney generals office.
Attempts by family members to reach her have been unsuccessful, and the circumstances surrounding Robarges disappearance are suspicious, according to police.
Robarge lives at 124 Happy Acres Road in Charlestown.
Friday afternoon, a New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit van was seen entering Happy Acres, a quiet neighborhood in a rural area on the Charlestown/Claremont border off Route 12, along with an unmarked police car and a Charlestown police cruiser following closely.
State and local police, including search dogs, were seen in the area Friday.
Also Friday, New Hampshire State Police and Vermont State Police visited a home at 37 Westminster West Road in Saxtons River, Vt. Police there declined to comment.
Robarges estranged husband, James R. Robarge, had been staying at the Saxtons River home, said Rose Koske, a friend and neighbor.
Koske said James Robarge was staying with his stepfather after he and Kelly Robarge recently separated.
Koske said James and Kelly Robarge recently attended Motorcycle Week in Laconia together, and it was her understanding that James Robarge hoped to reconcile their marriage.
But Kelly Robarge filed for divorce Thursday, citing irreconcilable differences, according to records in 5th Circuit Court Family Division in Claremont.
Kelly and James Robarge have been married for 21 years. They have two adult daughters and a young grandchild, Koske said.
Kelly Robarge is a 1989 graduate of Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon, according to her Facebook page, and Koske said she is a dental hygienist and works in Springfield, Vt.
Koske said her family had James Robarge and his stepfather over for dinner as recently as Memorial Day weekend in May, and that the two families became friends while James Robarge was working with her husband at Len-Tex in North Walpole.
When I went into labor with (my son), Kelly came right over and drove me to the hospital, Koske said. She was right there in the room when I gave birth to him. Shes a nice girl. Shed do anything for anybody. I pray to God they find her.
Charlestown police officers declined to comment on the investigation when approached on Happy Acres Road on Friday, and earlier in the day Chief Edward Smith referred all inquiries to New Hampshire State Police.
Phone messages left for state police were not returned.
Anyone with information on the disappearance or whereabouts of Robarge is asked to contact New Hampshire State Police at 271-3636.MORE IN Local & State

Floral design workshop registration open
Applications now are being taken for the popular annual floral design workshop held each summer by Mississippi State's floral management program.
Now in its 12th year, the weeklong training typically draws participants to the university that range between floral business employees to homeowners interested in the latest design concepts for personal use.
July 5 is the registration deadline for the July 18-22 limited-capacity event to be held at the University Florist in the heart of campus. Early application is strongly encouraged.
"Open to both amateurs and professionals, our workshop teaches how to create specific floral designs from base mechanics to the finishing touches," said professor Jim DelPrince of plant and soil sciences department. He leads the training with faculty colleague Lynette McDougald, University Florist manager.
Both DelPrince and McDougald are accredited members of the American Institute of Floral Designers.
"We look for people who complete the workshop to feel more confident about creating floral designs, whether for home or for those in the business working to accommodate clientele requests," DelPrince said.
"Many seek the workshop experience for enrichment and do not intend to get into the profession, but enjoy decorating their own homes or perhaps helping decorate for events and holidays," he added.
The training covers a variety of topics, including:
--Conditioning cut-plant material;
--Proper use of flower foods and anti-transpirants, as well as the care, handling, storage, and packaging of conditioned materials;
--Designs for flowers to wear;
--Arrangements for vase flowers;
--Sympathy designs, including sprays; and
--Designing centerpieces, buffet arrangements and selections for entertaining.
The workshop fee is $499 if received by July 1; $550 thereafter. Tools and supplies are provided. For more, visit www.theuniversityflorist.com/upcoming/workshop.html.

A couple of weeks ago I did an interview with the sonorous Eddie Mair for BBC Radio 4's iPM programme. I was presumably so boring that the interview was never aired. However I have today discovered that iPM actually posted the interview on their BBC website.
The interview was about Google Maps' Street View and the prospect of it arriving in Europe. I have embedded the interview below - in truth more to boost my own ego than anything else.
To listen just press play on the image below (if the player is taking a long time to load - it does seem slow - just skip to playing the flight sim in the post below - it is far more interesting):

CRESTVIEW — One local activist, accepting the Okaoosa Board of County Commissioners' challenge, is putting feet to the pavement to save the city's threatened bus routes.
Commissioners, citing low ridership, gave the city 60 days to contribute $25,000 to keep the service running.
With the calendar counting down the days, Mae Reatha Coleman hit the street. Cruising up and down Ferdon Boulevard, she visited businesses that benefit from customers and workers who use the buses.
"I'm fighting for the little old lady and the little old man that doesn't have a car," Coleman told North Okaloosa Medical Center CEO David Fuller.
At businesses including the hospital, Wal-Mart, Publix grocery and Ryan's Family Steakhouse, Coleman explained to managers the importance of the bus service to their businesses.
"I don't care where I stop, as long as I get some help," Coleman said.
The Crestview City Council granted Coleman authority to meet with individuals and businesses to seek donations for the city's contribution, according to a letter from Mayor David Cadle that Coleman left at each stop.
Uncertain cost, uncertain revenue
It will cost about $96,000 to keep the two bus lines operating, Crestview city clerk Betsy Roy said, and the $25,000 mentioned as the city's contribution isn't definite.
"They really haven't said how much we need to contribute," Roy said.
One possible source of city bus route funding could be an increased city share of county gasoline tax revenue, but the state has not yet decided how much that would be. The increased tax doesn't take effect until Jan. 1.
"But we also need that gas tax money to pave the roads," Roy said.
Undeterred, Coleman keeps knocking on doors.
"If we can show that the community is trying, this may do something," Coleman said.
"I appreciate your efforts," Publix manager Tim Bryant told Coleman, promising to forward her request to the grocery chain's corporate office.
Businesses or individuals wishing to support Mae Reatha Coleman's efforts to raise funds to retain Crestview's bus routes may send donations, made payable to City of Crestview, to City Clerk Betsy Roy, 198 N. Wilson St, Crestview FL 32536-3436.

A Vibrant New Art Center
Pomona College's innovative new Studio Art Hall creates a village of interconnected studios.
Follow Us on Flickr
The Art program helps students develop the skills and concepts they need to create works of art with an awareness of both the contemporary and the historical context. Our proximity to Los Angeles exposes our students to the work of a great range of artists and artist practices and institutions. We offer courses in sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, and digital art. All of these are defined broadly, and students often work in forms that combine media and take the form of installation. Students can take advantage of courses offered at the other Claremont Colleges. Classes are small and emphasize interaction with professors. The Art curriculum culminates in an exhibition of majors' work during their senior year at the Pomona College Museum of Art. Our facilities allow students to work in a tremendous variety of 2D and 3D forms.
The Art faculty represents a group of productive contemporary artists whose practices range from photography and public art pieces to sculptural installations, performance, computer art and conceptual drawings.

- Financial literacy, retirement planning, and household wealth (2011)
- There is ample empirical evidence documenting widespread financial illiteracy and limited pension knowledge. At the same time, the distribution of wealth is widely dispersed and many workers arrive on the verge of retirement with few or no personal assets. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between financial literacy and household net worth, relying on comprehensive measures of financial knowledge designed for a special module of the DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) Household Survey. Our findings provide evidence of a strong positive association between financial literacy and net worth, even after controlling for many determinants of wealth. Moreover, we discuss two channels through which financial literacy might facilitate wealth accumulation. First, financial knowledge increases the likelihood of investing in the stock market, allowing individuals to benefit from the equity premium. Second, financial literacy is positively related to retirement planning, and the development of a savings plan has been shown to boost wealth. Overall, financial literacy, both directly and indirectly, is found to have a strong link to household wealth. JEL Classification: D91, D12, J26 Keywords: Financial Education, Savings and Wealth Accumulation, Retirement Preparation, Knowledge of Finance and Economics, Overconfidence, Stock Market Participation
- Financial literacy and stock market participation (2007)
- Individuals are increasingly put in charge of their financial security after retirement. Moreover, the supply of complex financial products has increased considerably over the years. However, we still have little or no information about whether individuals have the financial knowledge and skills to navigate this new financial environment. To better understand financial literacy and its relation to financial decision-making, we have devised two special modules for the DNB Household Survey. We have designed questions to measure numeracy and basic knowledge related to the working of inflation and interest rates, as well as questions to measure more advanced financial knowledge related to financial market instruments (stocks, bonds, and mutual funds). We evaluate the importance of financial literacy by studying its relation to the stock market: Are more financially knowledgeable individuals more likely to hold stocks? To assess the direction of causality, we make use of questions measuring financial knowledge before investing in the stock market. We find that, while the understanding of basic economic concepts related to inflation and interest rate compounding is far from perfect, it outperforms the limited knowledge of stocks and bonds, the concept of risk diversification, and the working of financial markets. We also find that the measurement of financial literacy is very sensitive to the wording of survey questions. This provides additional evidence for limited financial knowledge. Finally, we report evidence of an independent effect of financial literacy on stock market participation: Those who have low financial literacy are significantly less likely to invest in stocks.

A bit of background
This emotional journey will revisit the stories of my Uncle Joe once again. I hope you will enjoy them, and think of your family as you read.
Joseph Henry Thompson (far left in top photo) was born in June 1925 in Birmingham, England. The eldest of 4 children, and brother of my father (dad being the youngest). I never knew him and my father hardly had the time before his tragic demise post-war at 22.
Joe 'joined up' to the RAF, along with thousands of other young men, in 1943 at the tender age of 18. He left his widowed Mother, my Nan and 3 siblings and left for training in December, to Regent's Park, London, which is where these letters begin.
Letter 4 – A Boxing Champ and £1 in wages!
Letter transcript:
"Friday night
Dear Mom and Kids,
I've written so many letters just lately that I don't know when I last wrote you so I can't ask whether you received 'em!
I've just finished writing a letter to Aunt Emmy & co. As I write this I'm on Guard and it's about 12pm. I'm on my own in a 23 roomed mansion taken over by the R.A.F. I'm expecting a relief any minute now. I've had a lousy cold the last few days, can you send me about 3 hankies as I've sent 3 to the laundry with some other things.
I got (paid?) on Thursday £1 and that's got to last a fortnight. By the way I could do with one of those black ties as we are only issued with one. I've sent my civvys or have I told you, there's a note in the inside jacket pocket but the news on it is probably stale by now.
I saw Stanley Cox here the other day (although he's posted now) he lives a few houses below Thomases. I've not long had supper, about 1/4 lb of cheese and 1 piece of bread and butter with cocoa to follow.
I saw that lad from Lewis's the Tobacconist's the other day, he'd just come in. He didn't recognise me. As a matter of fact I don't think anybody would as I had a real Service haircut two or three days ago and they scalp you with a vengeance!
By the way I had a late pass off our Corporal on Wednesday for being a good boy! I couldn't enjoy it properly because of that rotten cold. I've found out that our C.O. is the Chief Drill Instructor of the R.A.F! No wonder they're so strict on saluting and all that tripe. Blimey, my arm does ache!
There are some sergeants and flight sergeants here and they have to instruct Instructors!! The cream of the cream! It seems strange to see sergeants and corporals and other N.C.O.s all marching together, but that's how they train instructors.
The other day we had P.T. (our 4th lesson) and our instructor was none other than Harry Mizler the ex-lightweight champion of great Britain. He sure put us through it!
The 3rd day we were here some chaps were up before the C.O for losing part of the Kit. They were told they must pay for replacements and then they were put on a charge for losing 'em! I'm watching mine as there's always a first time. Our full Kit costs a little over £20, so we're told!
I'm too tired to write more and am stuck for words so Good-night-God-bless.
P.S. excuse writing and pencil
P.P.S. We may get posted someplace else on Friday 14th but I'll let you know for certain later.
(Ref Harry Mizler – picture in photo, right. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Harry_Mizler)
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Taurus PT917c: "Compact" is Subjective
So I picked this up at a gun show last weekend, new in the box. It's basically Taurus' version of a 4" version of the Beretta 92/M9. Came with a 20 round (well, 1 in the hole) magazine and a 15 rounder.
I didn't have anything else handy to prop it up on, so I used a watch.
So far the only thing I don't really like about it is the rear sights, which I'm going to figure out how to replace. They're dovetailed into the frame so I probably need to send it to an armorer. Might do the front too with fiber optic.

So Phrost, have you taken the Taurus to the range yet, or did you start a gun thread without being able to report on the most important thing about the weapon?
It's performance in action.
I'm curious to know how the thing shoots. I like shooting the M9 okay, and used to have a serious fascination with large, overly heavy handguns, but I'm not sure I'd purchase an M9. Or a copy of one.
From my experience with the M9, it's accurate, has low recoil, and you can brain someone with it if it comes to that, but it has two serious defects:
1.) That first trigger squeeze seems a mile long. After that, it purrs right along, but the first one is a real bear.
2.) It's big, clunky, and heavy as ****.
My first rotation, I kept taking it with me on missions. Typical n00b mistake, I guess, but everyone did it, even folks with quite a few rotations. And then I realized it was just because they were all hoping for a chance at getting a handgun kill. My kit lost a few pounds after that, and it became my chow hall/truck gun.
Last time around, someone decided we were taking Berettas instead of sigs or glocks, so I just locked mine in my weapons case, and only took it out to wipe it down and oil it occasionally."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

The calendar on the wall suggests Nolan Baumgartner is closer to being a hockey heirloom than a hockey hotshot.
Considering the Chicago Wolves captain made his professional debut with the National Hockey League's Washington Capitals way back on Oct. 18, 1995 – and the 35-year-old defenseman ranks as the third-oldest player in the American Hockey League – it's fair to say Baumgartner stands closer to the end of his playing career than its beginning.
But Baumgartner is nobody's museum piece. In fact, his future in hockey appears as bright as anybody else in the Wolves organization – and in more ways than one.
Wolves general manager Wendell Young believes Baumgartner has a chance to play more games in the NHL, where he has spent time with six teams over 10 seasons. Considering Baumgartner ranks among the Wolves leaders in ice time – and takes more than his share of shifts on the power play and penalty-kill – it's clear he still has skills.
But in the same breath, Young praises Baumgartner as a "hockey guy" and a "lifer" and envisions him making an impact on games after he hangs up his skates.
"He's a guy that I think will eventually be in the coaching ranks because he garners so much respect," Young said. "He could be a teacher (this season) and be a helper in getting guys up there. He could give the Canucks some games if they need it, while at the same time teach and help develop and give the young guys a sense of calm out there when he's playing."
"As a player, you don't want to think about the end of your career," Baumgartner said. "But, yeah, I guess after I'm done, I hope I can put something together and maybe start in coaching. I'm interested in the management side of it also."
Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish and assistant coach Karl Taylor have encouraged Baumgartner to build his coaching resume while he's still playing. Though he missed the team's first four games this season due to injury, Baumgartner went on the initial road trip to Texas. MacTavish allowed Baumgartner to run the pregame meeting for the players.
Taylor, meanwhile, offered to teach Baumgartner the computerized video system that makes scouting so much more helpful and detailed – provided the technology is used correctly.
"It's such an elaborate system now compared to 10 years ago when everybody used VHS and pressed 'Stop' and 'Rewind' and 'Fast-Forward,' " Baumgartner said. "But now it's all done on computer and it's all right there at your fingertips. I think all of these little things are good to have once you're finished. If you can learn now, it's only going to make you a step ahead when you're done."
This is not to suggest Baumgartner doesn't spend the vast majority of his time working to earn the Wolves some wins now. As soon as he became healthy enough to play, MacTavish paired him with defenseman prospect Kevin Connauton (Vancouver's third-round pick in 2009) to serve as the team's top pair on the blue line.
"We talked about it as a staff," Young said. "There are certain guys you play with, especially on defense, where you make your partner better. He's a guy that whoever we put with him is going to be better."
Connauton, who boasts a big slapshot and a relatively advanced offensive game, can't help but learn little defensive nuances from Baumgartner that ought to make him a more well-rounded player. Watch them when they leave the ice after a shift. As soon as they settle into seats side-by-side, they usually start discussing what just happened and what should occur on their next shift.
"He's a really approachable guy. You don't always find that with older guys on teams," said Connauton, who was 4 years old when the Washington Capitals made Baumgartner the 10th overall selection in the 1994 NHL draft.
"Being a younger guy, especially, you can be intimidated by them. Nolan does a great job of making himself approachable and available to everyone on the team. And watching certain parts of his game, you can tell they're a little more mature than everyone else's. It's something you see all year and the longer you're around him, the better off you are."
There's a lot to learn from Baumgartner. During his nearly 20-year career, he leave has won four championships at the junior level and appeared in almost 1,000 games as a professional. He has played on the same NHL team as Dale Hunter in the era when "there was a lot of hooking and holding and clutching and grabbing." He has paid enough dues in the AHL to become a three-time all-star.
And, of course, Baumgartner boasts the pedigree to work behind the bench or in the front office someday. But he's going to put off the next stage of his career for as long as possible.
"I just love being out there," he said. "You're out there getting paid to play a game. You never know when your last game is going to be (or) your last practice. There's going to be a day when someone's not asking for my autograph. There's not going to be the kids that look up to you the same way as they do when you're an athlete.
"The older you get, the more you enjoy it. You don't take it for granted. I just love going out there and being on the ice with the guys."

I'm going to try something new here. Cloud Computing news breaks all of the time. While in the past, I have focused mainly on GoGrid product announcements and lengthy commentary on articles that talk about Cloud Computing, I have realized that there is so much happening within the atmosphere that sometimes it is hard to keep up.
So, I'm going to try (emphasis on try) to scour the daily news and blogosphere for anything related to Cloud Computing that I see as relevant, timely and/or interesting post a link to the article and write my 2 cents (shots from the peanut gallery) about it. I would appreciate getting any links of consolidated Cloud information. Feel free to leave a comment or send me a tweet on either the GoGrid twitter account or my account.
Without further ado…onto the Cloud News!
- Open source: The money is in the cloud
"For those entrepreneurs looking to make a living from open-source software, Index Ventures general partner Bernard Dallé has some advice: get thee to a cloud strategy. The cloud isn't simply a clever way to provide social-networking services, either. As Dallé suggested in a phone interview on Wednesday, cloud computing may well be the best way to monetize enterprise-facing open-source software." (source: cnet)
- Commentary: I couldn't agree more. There are so many fantastic OpenSource solutions in the market that you are hard pressed to go wrong. One thing you need to consider, though is the support around it. Many OpenSource companies do provide premium support for their products. When you couple OpenSource with the Cloud, you really enable your business to keep your spending lean and mean. This is one of the reasons, for example, that GoGrid has partnered with BitNami as they provide easy-to-deploy OpenSource software stacks that are baked into predefined GoGrid server images.
- Intel hopes 48-core chip will solve new challenges
"Pushing several steps farther in the multicore direction, Intel on Wednesday demonstrated a fully programmable 48-core processor it thinks will pave the way for massive data computers powerful enough to do more of what humans can. The 1.3-billion transistor processor, called Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is successor generation to the 80-core "Polaris" processor that Intel's Tera-scale research project produced in 2007. Unlike that precursor, though, the second-generation model is able to run the standard software of Intel's x86 chips such as its Pentium and Core models." (source: cnet)
- Commentary: Intel has really been pushing the envelop lately with advances in their various chipsets. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how GoGrid's Cloud will be powered by the new Nehalem chipset. While neither the Nehalem nor this new 48-core chip will solve all of a Cloud hosting provider's problems or bottlenecks, it is a dramatic step forward in terms of baking efficiency and power down to the lowest level of infrastructure as possible. I expect that as things get smaller, faster, more energy efficient and (hopefully) less expensive, there will be little or no difference between Cloud and Physical Infrastructures.

LIVERMORE, CA - By appearance, it hardly stands out among Livermore area wineries; however, it's the mission of Valor Winery that makes it a true standout.
Valor is owned and operated by a 27-year-old former marine, who in addition to loving winemaking, loves the idea of assisting other veterans with their issues.
"I'm a Sergeant in the Marine Corp, just serving in a different uniform," Josh Laine said.
Laine puts out about 3,000 cases of wine each year, and since opening, has employed more than 50 veterans in full and part time roles.
"I do it because I know what they're going through," Laine explianed."When I got out (of the marines) it's not easy to start a business.The transition back to civilian life is hard."
Lane said many recent service members suffer from stress, or other trauma.His winery work has been a release for employees.
"I've had veterans' wives and moms say thanks 'my husband or boyfriend comes home at night, tired-he's not angry-he sleeps at night,' Laine said. "When I hear that, I know I'm doing my job."
On Friday, Gordon Yardyhelped transfer pressed grape juice into large tanks, which will eventually becomeChianti.
"I went through hard times,with a foreclosure on my home. I moved to Livermore and was blessed to find Josh," said Yardy, who works part timeat Valor.
Valor is so small it's only open for tasting the first weekend of each month.But that means the next two days it is open for drop in tasting and sales.
Valor is located at 2133 Research Drive, in Livermore.

Average Customer Review4.5 (3 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Hard hitting, fairly light and seems pretty well made. This rifle is also very easy to cock. Average recoil and noise for a NP. I did not try the included scope but opted to mount my Bug Buster.
Things I would have changed:The only thing I would like would be to add sling mounts.
What others should know:I have found this rifle to be somewhat "pellet picky". So far it seems to like the JSB Diablo domed 10.34 or 8.4. These are the only pellets that I have been able to get decent groups with at 30yds. Of course your mileage my vary.
Things I liked:Awesome handling - the rifle is well balanced and easily comes to position. The power is excellent, and shows very good accuracy. Overall design is very appealing, with very good and stable construction.
Things I would have changed:Re-position the safety catch. Add a clamp for holstering the sling. Presently, securing it to the break barrel can easily damage the barrel locking mechanism. The break barrel is very snug-fit, throwing some unwanted scratching noises while cocking. The additional rubber vent covers are very loose. This is because it is made with a straight plane design, instead of having a convex shape. The 3 pieces in the butt plate can easily fall off. The scope, albeit free, is lousy. No point having such a sub-standard scope for such an awesome rifle.
What others should know:Although my first experience with a Nitro-Piston, I was mighty impressed with its power and recoil management. Dont fall for the 'free-scope' part. If you could get this rifle for lesser without the scope, that would be a better deal.
Things I liked:rifle has good power, is much less hold sensative and is consistently more accurate.
Things I would have changed:Not PyramidAir's fault but would like to see open sights on this rifle
What others should know:I did not purchase this rifle with the nitro piston in it I had it installed by PyramidAir. Their service was great and the whole transaction took just over a week.Thanks PyramidAir
Their is its called the gamo silent cat same deal same everything you probably would of have a beter deal with the other one for the same price

By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization model, we have studied the parameters of the source as a function of the number of the participating nucleons and the beam energy. We observe a nice smooth behaviour of temperature, baryon chemical potential and strangeness under-saturation parameter as a function of energy and nucleus size. Interpolating formulas are provided which allow to predict the chemical freeze-out parameters in central collisions at centre-of-mass energies > 4.5 GeV and for any colliding ions. Specific discrepancies between data and model emerge in particle ratios in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS between 20A and 40A GeV of beam energy which cannot be accounted for in the considered model schemes.

Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich, Southern California athletic director Pat Haden and Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long are expected to be members of the committee that will chose the four teams that will play for the national championship when the College Football Playoff starts in 2014.
A person with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press that the three ADs were expected to be part of the 12-18 member panel being put together by conference commissioners.
The committee is expected to be comprised of current athletic directors, along with former college football players, coaches and administrators, and former media members.
Through spokesmen, Haden and Radakovich declined to comment. Long did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
CBS.com has reported that Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez and West Virginia AD Oliver Luck also are expected to be on the committee.
BCS executive director Bill Hancock has said the commissioners likely will have the 12-to-18 member panel completed by the end of this season.
"We will announce all the members when the members are all in place and we continue to make very good progress," Hancock said.
Radakovich took over at Clemson in 2012 after a six-year stint as Georgia Tech's athletic director.

"A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go, hi-ho the diawio, a-hunting we will go." This is Elmer out here hunting in the wild woods, and if you wecken I'm hunting wabbits you're wong. I'm after those wascal deer today. They weally wub me wong.
These swippewy wittle wascals have weally been wecking my wandscaping. They've been having wunch on my daywiwies and twees, and that weawy gets my dander wup. They think they're so intewigent, but I'm gona swip wight up on those wascals and bust 'em. I'll show 'em a thing or thwee. I've got my ol' twusty muzzle woader and wed pwaid hunting jacket, and that means they're weally in big twouble. Wook out Banbi, cause here I come, and you're weally gonna find this wegwettable. The next widdle sharp hoof that sets foot in my garden gets it wight in the ol' bweadbasket.
I'm not gonna fool awound wif these guys wike I did wif Daffy and Bugs. This is sewious business, and when I'm in the widdle wed twuck, it's a business twip, huh-huh-huh-huh.
Mr. Game Warden won't be able to save 'em when I get on their twail, cause I'm gonna wack 'em, wight between the eyes. They say there's a pwace for all of God's cweatures. It's not in my garden; it's wight between the gween beans and the mashed taters and gwavy, huh-huh-huh-huh.
I'm so iwitated I'm seeing wed, and I don't mean the wed oak, or the wedbud, or camofwage and bows and awows. I mean wed pwaid jacket and muzzle woader. I'm usualwy a weal nice guy, but when you mess with my shrubbewy, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy – it's "Elmer Wambo," A.K.A. – "Wocky," and the gwoves are off. In the big ballgame of wife, there has to be a winner, and a woser. Being the nice guy that I am, I'm always willing to wet the other guy wose. This hunting game is a waff a minute, and I'm gonna waff all the way to the meat market.
I've twied Ivowy soap, Wascal-B-Gone, scarecwows, and pie pans. Now it's time to get down to bwass tacks. Now it's time to bust a twuckwoad of 'em, and save my wandscawaping. Just wemember this – if the wead ain't flyin' the deer ain't dying. A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go. That's all folks. E. Fudd

Staying up to pre-order an iPhone 5? Jump into the iPhone 5 forums slumber party and win prizes!
iPhone 5 pre-orders will begin tonight at 12:01 am Pacific Time (that's 3:01 am ET, 8:01 am BST). Sprint will star pre-orders at the same time, Verizon will start 1 minute earlier, and AT&T... hasn't said yet. Apple, for their part, has confirmed the time to Wired.
If you are going to brave the web tonight, make sure you join our waiting for iPhone 5 pajama party. We'll be hanging out with the staff and readers, having fun, and giving away cool accessory prizes to the people posting.

Staying up to pre-order an iPhone 5? Jump into the iPhone 5 forums slumber party and win prizes!
So torn. I've been on ATT for 2 years. I'm in Los Angeles. I talk a lot, as does my girlfriend, so we're gonna do the mobile share plan (2GB between us will be more than enough) and unlimited talk/text. (Price is the same for ATT & Verizon for 1GB and 4GB; only Verizon offers 2GB.)
ATT seems to drop calls a bit too frequently. And my brother loves his Verizon iPhone here in LA.
BUT no simultaneous voice/date on Verizon.
Like I said... so torn.
LTE will support both. Getting the iPhone 5 on Verizon will allow it.
Yep, I'm doing the exact same thing! I've got a 4S 64GB and I'm getting a Black 5 with 64GB!
Do It!
if you know the network is good where you work, and you're okay with crap 3g speeds when not on their tiny LTE network, then it's cheap.
you pay more for vzw/att, but the network (in most places) is just much better. i get ~9mb on hspa+ and 23-27mb on LTE with att, sprint comes no where near that
Any way I can get those babes on the picture over to MY slumber party?
I'm getting my daughter the 5 and I'm taking her 4S. I have a cord in the car, desk at work, desktop at home. I'm not paying apple's ridiculous price for the new cords.
Getting a 32gb black sprint model
I live in Houston so I feel it is worth the switch from AT&T. LTE is alive here with sprint
Lalo76 do u live in a city that sprint has implemented LTE at?
In Houston sprint has unlimited everything for 79.99. I looked into Verizon and for 6gb of data with unlimited talk and text I would be paying $120
Am I the only one on here?
I'm scared to get into a plan with LTE because if my memory serves me correct, many stories from the first week of the new iPads release included people stating that they blew through 5gbs of data in the first two to three days.
I realize that now. I have been using my wife's iPhone 4S while I've been waiting and I have went over her 2gb plan both months. You can't do much of nothing with 2gb! Now LTE?! I would go thru that in two days. Lol
Now thats a slumber party I wish I was in....nice picture.
How is the speed if the LTE there? I had tried the S3 on sprint here in Houston and it was a mixed result. Obviously I returned the S3 and choose to wait for this moment instead. I have had a new iPhone every year since 07' so android to me was confusing and frustrating. To many damn menus.
Ordering two 16 GB phones on AT&T (also in Houston), one for me and one for Mrs Dookie. Kind of tempted to move up to 32 GB because That's what my current iPhone 4 is, but it's mostly games that I never play and have on my 64 GB iPad already anyway. Pretty sure I can get by with 16 GB.
The only question left is, black or white? Maybe I'll get one of each and figure it out when they arrive.
Guys...those of you considering leaving AT&T for either Sprint or VZW, not sure if voice/data at the same time is important to you. Those two networks will not allow it. Not sure the whole in and out as to why it will not do it. It cannot be the CDMA network only since Android devices can do both.
tick tock.
I am stuck in an area where AT&T only has Edge services (and possibly the WORST Edge service i have ever used, when it works that is), not even 3G until you drive about 20 miles out of town, and WONT have 3G until sometime late 2013 from what the CEO has stated. Verizon has 3G services, but i would lose calling and data at the same time (unless I am using wifi).
About the only time I use voice and data at the same time is with internet radio stations, and apps like Tune In Radio that can continue to buffer the station in the background while i am on a call.
I guess I am damned if i do and damned if i dont. Either pay for non-existent 3G, or have 3G but no calls while using data.
ill go with having 3G :D besides, by the time my iPhone 5 contract is up, AT&T will have 3G in the area, Verizon will have LTE, and there will be the 2014 phone and features for me to look into.
yeaaahhh iphone 5 !!
I'm in the UK its 7am here already so I didn't have to have a slumber party was hard to sleep though, bit exited lol.
9 minutes, Verizon here I come,
AT&T site crashing like a rock...ugh
64g white done!!
Apple store from iPhone. Started at 12:58. MST
Confirmation email received 1:01am.
When clicking on the order number from the confirmation email than rate-plan. It shows I keep my unlimited data plan (AT&T)!
The Verizon site worked perfectly. Everything ordered by 3:04am. Ordered a 64BG Black phone.
Apple UK store still down, ordered from Apple Store app on iPhone. 32 gb black! Yay!
Apple store is still down...
Use express!!!
Ordered one white and one black! Now can I go to bed please? Verizon here we come!
64 GB, Black iPhone on Verizon. Done. Going to bed now. Good night and good luck, all.
Apple.com works...just taking a little bit between page loads. 64GB black upgrade in the pipeline.
ATT still giving the old "There was a problem with your request. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to support this request online. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience. (P1234)"
Like wise. Went to apple app store and it was all good.
Apple Store app quick and painless........nighty night.
Done (on ATT) -- no confirmation email, and of course site down now.
3:30 am eastern
went to apple store purchased my 32 gb in white with same att grandfathered unlimited plan.sucess!!!! Goodnight
I moved from AT&T to Verizon. I got 2 iPhone 5's with one being a 16GB Black and the other being a 64GB Black. Now, wait my one week!
Apple.com says two weeks out......after an hour from launch.
Yep, this phone will not resonate with the public.
Just ordered and it's saying 2 weeks for black & white on AT&T. Argh! And after checkout it says 5 additional days to get to me after it ships in 2 weeks. Argh.
work for verizon ... and our line hasnt ended yet for preorder ... if you need help orderding feel free to contact me as well :D
From my perspective most of what's said here makes sense. However, it's the ecosystem that Apple managed to build during the last years which makes them (for a single company) damn successful and powerful. Recently read a comment about this at http://aboutventures.com/technology/iphone-5-apple-did-it-again/ which summarised it pretty well. They say, the "integrated user experience" of Apple products is outstanding and I tend to agree. I didnt touch a S3 lately, but I was told it is an amazing phone. Samsung generally makes great phones these days!

alone with my parents. And you know once you start your own family, those times just seem to stop. You can steal a couple of hours here and there, but it just isn't the same. My husband explained to the children before I left, how important it is to spend time with your parents. We hope they will always want to spend time with us. He also does an amazing job at holding down the fort. Needless to say, the trip was everything I had hoped for. Of course there was knitting and of course silver belle photos were taken. These were actually taken at Pebble Beach.
Size: small
Buttons: 3 of my grandmothers, using the back side
Bottom line:: I love this sweater. It will definitely be worn, a lot!

Twitter Spy is a new rival to TwitterVision. Twitter Spy, like Twitter Vision, is a Google Map showing in real-time the latest messages on Twitter.
However, whereas as TwitterVision displays real-time messages on a full-screen Google Map, Twitter Spy uses a smaller map and utilises the remaining screen space to display the latest tweets outside of the map (check the screenshot above).
The avatar of each member's message is tagged on the map and the map recentres on the location of each member when a new message is posted. Twitter Spy also catches any URL's posted by users and the latest ones are posted in a sidebar.

So my niece atomicinchworm posted a pic of her very poorly behaved cats in another thread, and I started thinking (I know right?) that we should share pics of our fuzzballs. Or they don't have to be fuzzy, actually. Here are ours.
The little black guy is Ozzy. My husband's sister found him as a tiny flea-bitten kitten at the side of the road, too young to be weaned, trying to eat gravel. She and my MIL nursed him back to health, and then she basically abandoned him at our house, so we've had him since he was about five months old. He's our smallest, about six pounds. Ozzy is kind of a turd but very, very sweet and cuddly. It's hard to get a good picture of him because he's completely black--fur, whiskers, pads, gums, nose--and usually in motion. The second one is Whitey. He is Ozzy's son, believe it or not. He's my favorite. At 16 pounds, he's our biggest, but he's not as bad as he looks. He's big-boned! I swear he's never eaten any of the others. The third one is Whitey's sister, Little Miss. She is sweet but a little neurotic and drama queen-y and the only one with any potential whatsoever to actually, if it came right down to it, catch a mouse. And in the last pic, Skittles, our tall tabby, is looking kind of stoned while Ace sleeps in the background. This was taken last year, a few months before we had Ace euthanized. He was grumpy his whole life, but he thoroughly enjoyed all 18 crabby years, except perhaps the last few days, when he couldn't walk anymore.
Okay wow. When is thinking about that going to stop making me tear up?
Okay, that's my kitties. Just consider yourselves fortunate that we don't have any fish right now.
