"I had a major hard drive crash, and after painfully searching for local places in Portland that had the depth to perform a deep dive on the drive, I was quoted up to $4,000 AND they had to ship it off to CA! I finally found Teknyka Tech Support and was greeting on the phone by someone smart, and he gave me a quote of under $100 bucks to extract data if it all possible. I took it in and BY FAR, the BEST I have ever experienced! They took VERY good care of me and Gabe was very fair. I would recommend Teknyka Tech Support without ANY reservation! A SURE BET!" — Mark B., Corvallis, OR

He explains everything in laymen's terms. He is reliable and dependable. When we call for help he resolves the problem right away, over the phone and/or using remote control software, and if needed he come visits us on-site.

Apple has released two software updates Tuesday afternoon that enable apps from the iLife '09 suite to better integrate with the company's Aperture 3 image management software. The first release is a 7.1MB Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update version 3.0 that extends RAW image compatibility for Aperture 3 and iPhoto '09 for the following cameras and formats: Canon PowerShot S90, Canon sRAW, Canon mRAW, Leica D-LUX 4, Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
The second release is called iLife Support version 9.0.4 and it provides system software resources that are shared by iLife and other applications. Apple said that the 66.6MB download improves overall stability for the Media Browser and iPhoto slideshows, in addition to providing compatibility between Aperture 3 and the Media Browser.
Apple recommends both updates to all users of iLife '09, iWork '09, and Aperture. Your Mac should automatically prompt you to download and install those updates. Alternatively, you can initiate a manual download check by choosing the "Software Update…" item from the Apple menu.
Apple released a major Aperture 3 upgrade Tuesday morning. The pro photo editing and management software for the Mac gained over 200 new features, including Faces and Places borrowed from iPhoto '09. Aperture 3 has been re-written as a 64-bit application that takes advantage of multi-core CPUs and GPU-accelerated graphics, both made possible by Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Notable additions include a new full-screen browser, the Brushes feature with automatic edge detection for popular image adjustments (dodge, burn, polarize, blur, etc.), adjustment presets for one-click image effects, direct sharing to Flickr and Facebook, and souped up slideshows that can incorporate HD video, custom text, music, and images.

Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavais said he opposes having a gay man headline the ABC dating series, saying it wouldn't set "a good example for the kids."
While speaking to a blogger Friday at ABC's party during the twice-annual Television Critics Tour, ABC's first Latino Bachelor expressed concern that a Bachelor with gay men would be "more pervert in a sense. To me that show would be too strong, too hard, to watch on TV."
"It's hard. It's a very thin line," said Galavais. "Obviously people have their husband and wife and have kids. That's how we are brought up. It's hard for me to understand that.
"It is confusing in a sense," he continued. "They want to be parents. So it is a scale… Where do you put it on the scale? Where is the thin line to cross or not? You have to respect everybody's desires and way of living. But it would be too hard for TV."
Audio of the interview can be found here.
Galavais' comments come in the wake of the Duck Dynasty firestorm that put A&E — and star Phil Robertson — in the hot seat. Robertson set off a cultural firestorm by talking about the "sin" of homosexuality in an interview with GQ. The network suspended the patriarch from the popular reality show but then lifted it before the show returned this month — albeit to lower ratings than usual. The season 5 premiere had 8.5 million viewers — stellar, sure, but down 28 percent from its record-setting fourth season debut in August (11.8 million).
The Bachelor saw its best premiere ratings in three years earlier this month. The two-hour premiere starring Galavais was up 17 percent from last January. The premiere scored 8.4 million viewers and a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49.
UPDATE: ABC and Bachelor producers slam Juan Pablo's comments

When he arrived on campus at Georgia Tech 30 years ago, coach Bobby Cremins, someone Neal has said is one of his biggest mentors in the game, had a simple message for the wiry guard they called "Noodles."
"Slow down," Cremins told the Journal over the summer. "On the court, he played so fast. He would go 120 miles an hour. I finally got him to slow up a little bit, but not much."
READ MORE: Lobos will open season with camouflage jerseys tonight
By the age of 26, Neal was playing for Paul Westhead and the Denver Nuggets in the 1990-91 season.
"My first game with Westhead, I dribbled down and I was open," Neal said. "He goes, 'Why didn't you shoot it?' I said, 'Well I hadn't even made a pass.' He goes, 'Well it was perfect. It was seven seconds into the clock.'"
Neal says Westhead, whose Loyola Marymount teams led the nation in scoring for three seasons before landing the NBA job in Denver, had said he wanted the Nuggets to "score 130 points a game and shoot it every 14 seconds."
Tonight, in his first regular-season game as a head coach, Neal gets to show off the pace he wants his 23rd-ranked New Mexico Lobos to play. The expectation is that it won't be as fast as Westhead's, but it also isn't likely to resemble the pace Lobo fans grew accustomed to in the past six seasons when he served as associate head coach.
While he did run the offense for the past six seasons, Neal wasn't making the final decision on tempo and pace of the game under his predecessor Steve Alford.
"I've always told myself when I was going to get a chance that I was going to push the pace the first 15 seconds (of each possession) to try and get either an early touch in the paint or a good drive to the basket where you get fouled or a good shot," Neal said. "… I've always thought all along, even when I played, that the easiest offense is getting a stop, then (get out in) transition."
Though the competition wasn't on par with what they'll face in the regular season, including tonight's opponent, Alabama A&M, the Lobos did push the tempo in their exhibition blowouts over Division II Eastern New Mexico and NAIA school Jamestown.
In those two games, UNM averaged 76 possessions and 90.5 points. In the 2012-13 season, the Lobos averaged 63.2 possessions per game and 67.3 points. The national average of possessions per game was 65.9 a season ago.
Neal also pointed out after the two exhibition games, "Guys, we haven't pressed (on defense) yet, so it can get faster."
Whether that happens remains to be seen, but the point is clear. These Lobos will push the pace.
But while Neal points out many of the guards on the UNM roster are actually better in transition than in a half-court-based offense, the traditional wisdom is that big teams can't run. The Lobos, meanwhile, boast a starting frontcourt of 7-foot, 245-pound Alex Kirk and 6-9, 250-pound Cameron Bairstow.
So can the two coexist?
Neal said he thinks Kirk and Bairstow are running the floor better than at any time in their basketball careers. It may not be a coincidence that both big men participated this summer in the World University Games (Kirk for Team USA and Bairstow for the Australian Boomers).
"I kind of learned this summer if you're not getting up and down the court, you're not going to play," Kirk said. "I definitely learned a lot."
SPECIAL VISITOR: Class of 2015 hoops recruit Jordan Hunter, a 5-10 point guard from Beaumont (Texas) Ozen High, will be at tonight's game on an unofficial recruiting visit.

RE: Loren Arthur Johnson
I hit the enter button too early. I've only been working on our family history for a few months, focusing mainly on the Wells and Williams families from Bradford County, Pennsylvania. It all started when my mother passed away and my sister and I started sorting through all the family pictures. I was instantly hooked. I grew up in Upstate New York, on Lake Ontario and moved to Los Angeles in 1988. My mother's family was from Bradford County.
If there is anything I can do to help with your research, please let me know and please let me know if you find any errors in my family tree. It's publicly viewable in Ancestry.com

Dorothy, thank you for your time and effort. If you like you can pass on to the living descendants that the information is being used by the SUBVETS. I was on a submarine with Bill and he was a fine sailor and a great shipmate.

Good evening Dorothy. My name is Don Ort. I am a member of the Submarine Veterans and am trying to find obituaries for past members of the USS Henry L. Stimson SSBN-655 crew. I sailed with an electrician named Bill Hasty. If this is the Bill Hasty who was in the submarine service I'd love to find and obituary for him. Can you help?

CAMPAIGNERS seeking to protect the Oswestry birthplace of Wilfred Owen have revealed plans to make the Victorian house a major tourist attraction.
Members of the Wilfred Owen Watch say they will be approaching the Park family who own Plas Wilmot to strike out a deal that can preserve the house for years to come.
The move comes after plans for a seven-property housing development in the orchard and vegetable garden area were not halted despite the house receiving Grade II listing last month.
Dr Nigel Tinsley, who says he would like Plas Wilmot to "rival" the Wilfred Owen shrine at Ors in France, said: "The only way to protect this property now and to preserve its full potential as a future tourist attraction is to make some sort of deal with the owners which really will require some funding.
"I have argued that a housing estate around three sides will substantially compromise the setting of Owen's birthplace. Neither would the listing prevent a determined owner from substantially altering the house itself which at present is still very much the same as when Wilfred was born."
Dr Tinsley added he was now looking to apply for 2014-18 Commemoration funding to continue with the tourism strategy.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
This wasn't for an attorney! Sorry!
Your beloved seems to be very uncomfortable with the idea of directly spoiling her image as married when her biological son may not know it's a marriage in name only. That would put you inside of a family with secrets that you know very little about. And you don't seem to have much choice about what's going to happen, since you're not recognized as her partner in reality, and some other man is. Is my interpretation correct? How long have you been seeing her? What are the financial conditions that impact your status? and do you have your own financial power to make a difference?
So now please tell me about the marriage she's currently involved with, and more importantly: How could you envision shifting her status and yours, esp with respect to her legal spouse and her son. If you'll sketch out at least 1 or 2 paths & strategies you've come up with, then I can begin my advising by being somewhere near what you've already thought about, instead of still just guessing at factors I don't know about.
It's also significant that youve been seeing her for only 4 months. For with all the obstacles that are in the way between the two of you, it is very likely that you are idealizing her and as a result underestimating both yourself (Freud's famous essay On Narcissism argued that men put their beloved women on a pedestal and worship at their feet, while striving mightily to be worthy of the love that their hearts & sexual perception instinctively gives to women.) Obstacles such as these can keep Passionate Love burning brightly for much longer than is normally needed to establish a realistic relationship where the warts begin to show. And Passionate Love is blinded by its heartfelt intensity so the mind is mainly just composing hymns of praise and sonnets, while trying to defeat the obstacles, and a realistic assessment of lifestyle, life-goals and intimate compatibility is not yet possible. So you have to consider both the obstacles and your own inclination to fight like Odysseus in Penelope's Ithakan Palace after his 20 yr absence, despite the fact that you hardly know this particular Penelope at all. You know you don't want to be a fool with your heart.
Maybe it's still too early for you to advance towards shifting the powers-that-be in her life. I have a client whose girlfriend of now 20 yrs has depended on another man for keeping her house, while he is psychiatrically disabled & indigent, and the old benefactor (& would-be lover) just died. So tell me some more about the conditions you find, and also both your and her histories of romantic relationships.
I agree with your thoughts. I feel as though she is lying to herself hoping that life can be a bed of roses. Not happening here, she will not face the truth. I am concerned about how I fell like this. Do u think I am out of line, if I call her husband to get his thoughts. I have met him and we liked each other. He is aware of me! Need to come to some kind of decision! Lost my wife to cancer several years ago! Have dated many ladies, but judy is one who I think the most of! Cant keep my prospective in check! I let my heart go and now it feels she has a hold on me!
If you lost your wife several yrs ago (mine fears her cancer will come back after 8 yrs), then your heart may be just ready to open its bud again, and the chemistry (measurable thru astrological composite charts, if it's a factor) plus the obstacles are enough fertilizer for your heart. Would she be switching from one sugar-daddy (who she's bored with) to a new one (with greener-thumb chemistry)? Life can be a bed of roses if you're a queen by marriage whose husband's kingdom supports your throne, so you (like Princess Di) can devote your energies to benevolent support for others. That is an upperclass ideal few contemporary American women get to live out. But does your financial power make you such a king? Wouldn't other (younger, if you prefer) women want that role too?
What "Princess Di" offers in the modern marriage (discussion type in my textbook) is Romance. Sounds like she might be good at that; but what else does she want to make HER OWN LIFE meaningful--besides practicing benevolence?
What do YOU want in a partner & a partnership? Which types of spousal Intimacy were most meaningful in your former marriage? And which do you yearn for now? (You can use numbers for degrees of importance: 1 = mild 3 = maximal)
Types of Intimacy [From Love & Intimate Relationships: Journeys of the Heart, Brown & Amatea, 2000.]
1. Physical. Familiarity & closeness with another's body in work & play, medical care, touch, massage.
2. Sexual. Erotic pleasure sharing.(The typical default meaning for men, whether verbal or emotional sharing are involved or not.)
3. Emotional. Empathic attunement & expressing emotions. (The typical meaning for women, though the reality may be that one is giving & receiving only the emotions one wants, and not Crisis (9) or Conflict (10).)
4. Intellectual. Sharing spheres of ideas.
5. Aesthetic. Sharing experiences of beauty and excellence.
6. Creative. Sharing acts of creation together, including brainstorming.
7. Recreation. Fun, sports, play.
8. Work. Cooperating in tasks or occupation, wage-earning.
9. Crisis. Facing crises, problems & pain together.
10. Conflict. Struggling with differences & frustrating interaction cycles.
11. Commitment. Trust & mutuality from common investment of self.
12. Spiritual. Sharing religious, spiritual & transpersonal experiences & concerns.
13. Communication. Verbal sharing and understanding. (Typically combined with Emotional, Intellectual, Crisis, Conflict, etc.)
Have you been looking to replace the types of Intimacy you lost when your wife died? Or has your advancing age (& maturity), plus perhaps a transformation through a widower's romance led you to seek different core intimacies that what your habits had been?
If Judy has a hold on you, it's possible that you could experience a melt-down of your identity-up-to-now and a subsequent rebirth as a new man, even if Judy isn't loving you in the same ways as you're loving her, and even if the romance doesn't eventually restore the stable partnership you might be seeking (ie "Commitment" intimacy).
However, if you don't feel respect for Judy's handling of money, you'll be feeding the thorns of your relational destruction if you-or-she don't face it & change.
I think you're asking me to rain on your heart's party. But fear of deepening investment of self (aka Love-development&transformation) is right on-time at 4 months.
I'd be uneasy about approaching her husband, worried that hearing his history with her and possibly jaundiced perspective would turn your rosecolored glasses yellow, OR that he'd gladly "give away the bride" which reinforces his hold over her and demasculinizes you. I sure respect your confusion.
Great response! Thank you! As I attempt to be completely honest! I was cautious in this relationship! I thought I was! I see myself regressing in the romantic world!
My relationship with my wife was outstanding! I have the belief system, if you tell someone you loved them, old school thinking! I might expect something too soon! I make an investment in the woman, if I tell them I love them, if they reply as well! I think we have accountabililty to each other. It seems she reponds, I am not sold if she is completely honest if she cares for me as she indicates. Due to my lack of security, I seem to push too hard. I hate that in myself, clear I am insecure about the contents in the closet. I hate to say this, women today are so different! it seems they aren't as trustworthy. My choices concern me! My lack of ability to select is questionable at best!! This has been since I have been dating. My wife was secure , loving and trustworthy.
This is the writing of the card, she gave me at christmas! Quote!
You're someone who's genuinely caring and giving, someone who listens with an understadning heart. And especially at Christmas, I 'm so thankful that I have someone like you in my life. I took this as a meaningful, however, I am now thinking, is this all a bunch of garbage!! Go figure!!
We had a conversation today!! It seemed a conversation of negioation. She wants to go dancing on Sunday night without being with me! Alot of her friends ask her to dance but not since she have been going out with me. I am not threaten by this at all.She is a great dancer. I went bymyself last Sunday. She was not with me and I was asked to dance many times. I do not like the music she really likes. She loves dancing and she misses it very much. She told me, it was like she would not let me play golf. She wants to dance! I say, go for it! Her night out! She has been doing this for years! I watch her always leave by herself. We smile at each other for months before we even spoke. She always wonder why I never spoke!
Alot of the women out at the club, cant understand why I chose Judy. It is not her looks, she has a "stressful look". I have always have had very pretty ladies. She is very down on herself because her worn look. I see beauty in a different way.
It does bother me,. She doesnt want me to block her opportunity to dance. Apparently, dancing is more important to her than she indicated. Your opinion on this thought! I look it like playing golf. I do not want her on the golf course with me! LOL! She pointed this out to me! Good for her!
All of this could be a mute point, especially, her lifestyle with brother and son. I think when she said she loves me, she does, but her existing life style isnt secure by any of the stretch of the imgination. What happens when this job runs out. Things get tight and she goes into a panic mode.
She will reach out and look for comfort. As u said a possible sugar daddy. I hate that term. I will not be her enabler, but I will help. I do not regret helping her by any means. When I saw her pantry, I felt needed.
I said to her, if i ask you to marry me, what would be your answer. She said "no". Her life is too screwed up and I was a great guy and she would not pull me into this.
Well, I have said a great deal! Please respond to this asap! We are going out on Friday. I want to be relaxed, need suggestion to accomplish this.
It's too late tonight for me to get to the insights I want to reach for this contribution of yours. So I will sleep on it, after responding to just a few sections. Thinking out loud, so to speak, and it might lead to more--but it's more likely that tomorrow morning some insights will be greeting me when I wake up.
I totally understand your "old school" feeling/thoughts about love, because it's how you held your beloved and were held by her for what was a whole lifetime already. But you have another life to lead now, and you're very unsteady about where you should start and what to expect. You want love to mean Forever (or till death do us part) but you can't know for sure if Judy (or any other woman) holds the same meaning for love.
Each of these women have their own lives that have formatted what love means for them. Most of them probably want love to be that way too, since it sounds like these women are 40 to 60 or old and in the same age bracket as you. But if their generational learning was different or the local culture and marriages they had were different (like perhaps some of their husbands were flakes or drunks or cheaters or otherwise inadequate), then their cautiousness towards dropping their defenses and just giving themselves over to love could take different forms than yours.
Perhaps Judy attracts you more because she obviously needs you, where the others were more successful at giving you the impression that they were doing fine all by themselves. Her hypothetical answer to your hypothetical marriage proposal is a fascinating&frustrating curve-ball. But the mess that the US banks and WallStreet and the worldwide competition have thrown us into has pulled lots of us into dire straits.
Your hypothetical proposal was also spontaneous fruit of your first bloom of love, and such toying with the Forever part of the love experience is normal for teenagers and twenty-somethings too. Have you asked her what she imagines she'd have to do or change (specifically) to start feeling worthy of the love you're giving without reservation?
Perhaps you could help her brainstorm how to bring her job situation into greater stability in the future. And then there's her charity cases--is it Both Brother & Son?
Am I right in assuming that you're in your 60s and very popular at the seniors dance club, because you've stayed fit and kept your life running successfully, and such men are in short supply compared to the women who are looking for one?
That's all for tonight. Perhaps you'll need to stretch yourself and learn how to dance to the music she likes as well as to the music you like. Is it Latin music that makes her dancing-passion different? Or Rock&Roll?
Actually I suspect that feeling like getting married is a REALLY BIG EMOTIONAL ERUPTION FROM DEEP DOWN for you, because your marriage was SO fulfilling that its after-effects could have profound effects on you reach this new beginning. You have every right to be scared, because you have done a sacred union for a lifetime, and now you're hoping you can do it again--cuz nothing else compares. But when you succeed in starting up a new love that's as powerful (and you WILL succeed because you have already chosen to go forward on that path), it will be DIFFERENT than what you were so used to before. So both you and your new partner will have subtle and unfathomable differences that can make your lives quite challenging. And that's worth being frightened about too. But it's something you can succeed at also.

As an atheist who maintains a blog focused on issues relevant to atheists (Atheist Revolution) and who participates in a number of online forums, there is one question I am asked perhaps more than any other. There are a couple variants on this question, but the typical version is something like this: "If you are an atheist, why do you spend so much time reading/thinking/talking about religion?" It is nearly always phrased as a challenge. The idea seems to be that atheists have no business in - or should be expected to have no interest in - religion.
There are many ways to respond to this question and the apparent intent behind it. One would be to point out that virtually all today's high-profile atheists devote considerable time attempting to understand religion and persons who actually believe in religious doctrines. Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Richard Dawkins are among the first names that come to mind. If prominent atheists often address religion, why should the topic somehow be off limits or irrelevant to average atheists? My suspicion, of course, is that most of the people asking me this question have never heard of Harris, Dennett, or Dawkins. Perhaps I am among the first atheist they have encountered.
Another type of response is to point out that atheists are a small (but growing) minority in the United States surrounded by a large Christian majority. In any situation such as this, the minority ignores the majority at its peril. We atheists strive to understand believers and their beliefs because our political survival depends on it. In fact, if some Christians were to get their way, we might need to say that our actual survival depends on it without the political qualifier! Because we are surrounded by people who belief outrageous things, we seek to understand those things. We may also seek to change them, but understanding is an important prerequisite. When Christians are puzzled at this line of reasoning, I often ask them to imagine themselves as a tiny minority of White people living among a large population of African Americans who held all the political power in the group. In such a situation, would they not seek to understand African American culture just a bit?
Bringing up race triggers my mental associations with Civil Rights, discrimination, and prejudice. A close variant of the previous response would be to point out that atheists living among Christians are not only a minority but an oppressed minority. This claim is controversial even within the atheist community. Many atheists have told me that because they have not personally experienced religious discrimination, they doubt that any atheist does. Come on people! Does this mean that a gay man who has never experienced homophobia should rightly assert that it doesn't exist? If you don't believe that atheists are subject to religious discrimination, run for political office. Getting back on track, the point is that because atheists are subject to religious discrimination, it is even more important that they understand and critique the majority religion.
The last response I'll address in this post (and this brief list of responses is by no means exhaustive) is that most atheists feel pity for believers. Most believers are not bad people. Most are not even ignorant people. They have been duped by an extremely powerful system of indoctrination which is highly skilled at self-maintenance. We want to reach out to believers. We want to help them embrace reality and learn that clinging to obsolete superstition not only harms them but puts all of us at risk for continued global conflict. Yes, I suppose you might consider out motive somewhat selfish. Part of the reason we want to help them discard their delusion is that we believe the world would be better off without it. So, overcoming religion is in our self interest. However, I am confident that most atheists would agree that letting go of religious belief would be advantageous to the believer as well.

Giving Up Everything
Elton John had it wrong - or rather Bernie Taupin if you prefer. Sad songs are not the ones that say so much - it's only a special type of sad song; where there's hope peeking through, where there's an attempt at stoicism - the head being held high, an aim to move on, an attempt at rebirth or a new direction. The song can convey the struggle but there needs to be a hope for resolution, a hint of a revelation.
There was one song I listened to this weekend more than any other song - and I'm not usually a guy to play the same song over and again - I still work through albums (occupational hazard) and I move on to the next in the pile before returning. Usually. It's rare that I instantly repeat-play an album. But it does happen. That's part of the (reviewing) process too. Eventually. But this weekend I was entranced - the magic of one song in particular sold me. It's a new one by Natalie Merchant. She's just released her new album, self-titled, it's her first of original material in 13 years. And the whole album is a joy. There's more than one amazing song on it - but the song Giving Up Everything just had me. From first listen. And then again. And again. You'd call it a career highlight - but Merchant has offered several on every album she's released. Hers is an immaculate solo career. The only thing you could ever ask for is one or two further albums - but actually she's got it spot on I think. The timing is always right. She's delivering the right amount. There's always a wait, there's always the weight of expectation.
I love the new album.
But the song Giving Up Everything is what sold me. Check out the lyrics - it speaks to exactly what I was aiming to explain in that opening paragraph. A sad song, but there's a freedom found. There's something very special in this song.
Perhaps I'm at an age and stage too where I can happily admit to being a Natalie Merchant fan - though I think I've always sung her praises, at least whenever I've reviewed her albums.
I gave up any notion of being cool before I ever aimed for it - and of all the stupid lines and lazy taunts I receive daily, weekly, weakly, the dumbest - ever - is when someone tells me I "no longer have any credibility". I've never had any. Never aimed for any. Never wanted anything resembling that sort of arbitrarily assigned version of responsibility.
The very best time I played Giving Up Everything this weekend occurred at around 9.30pm Saturday night. I had just attended the concert for the Pike River Miners - Dreams Lie Deeper. There I heard the world premiere of two works and the Australasian premiere of another. Dave Dobbyn had been commissioned to create a piece to sing with the Orpheus Choir. The song - a prayer - entitled This Love encompassed all that I require from a "sad song".
His was a plea for the souls of the 29 - and in that way he has the emotion was conjured through the shadowy guitar intro and building to the chorus. The weight of the choir added to the experience this time, obviously. There was a hugeness to this gesture - no doubt a thankless task in so many ways. You only had to scan Facebook to see too many goons who did not attend and had not heard the song poking fun at the very idea.
The concert was very good - James McCarthy's composition 17 Days was extraordinary, a dizzying feat, combining existing poems and bible quotes with news reports.
So I'm back at the car and though silence might have been the best accompaniment to the drive home I can't help myself. Most waking hours have some sort of soundtrack, a podcast, an album, a movie or TV show...that's just how you fit it in...
With a few minutes in the car only I choose Giving Up Everything from the album of the weekend and it is the perfect reflection. Dobbyn, in a way, gave up everything to write that song. It would have been the tallest of orders: write a song to sum up how a nation is feeling and has felt, make suggestions of justice yet to come, of the impact of loss, of a hope for moving forward. And make it just right. Also, everyone's entitled to their opinion so if a person who doesn't hear it but has decided they don't like any/all of your earlier work wants to mouth off about this as some sort of empty gesture then that's fine. You may in fact have just lost all credibility, don't you know.
Giving Up Everything was the perfect reflection.
Natalie Merchant's song feels like a perfect song. I couldn't imagine what went into the creation of it. Couldn't imagine any suggestion that could make it better. You'd wonder if it arrived fully formed. An outpouring of an idea based - so clearly, so obviously - on the experience of a life. A huge life lesson.
It kept me sane this weekend. But more than that it feels like the greatest inspiration.
And in those words, and in the way they are framed, I heard and saw some beauty in this world.
So thanks Natalie Merchant. And thank you Dave Dobbyn.
Just a couple of songs. One world premiere of a commissioned piece. One brand new album - the first of original music in 13 years. How cruel to even say just - these are tasks that take a lifetime, that require all the living up to that point to exist, to be created. And then they're passed on into this world. And my world was made a little better for hearing them. I feel especially lucky.
Here's my review of Natalie Merchant's brand new album.
And here's my review of the Orpheus Choir's concert, Dreams Lie Deeper.

Burnout habanero cucumber
spring seasonal
Burnout will totally smoke your expectations for a pepper infused brew. We start with a finished tank of our Freewheeler Dry Apple but then spice things up with a fresh infusion during the conditioning process. Freshly macerated cucumbers and habanero peppers add just enough heat to contribute scratchy texture followed by bright cucumber to cool. When you're done with your first pint you'll know for sure that Burnout is a tire screeching explosion of flavor. GF

I would like to talk about a project we under took at the Eccles Health Sciences Library
to integrate Palm devices into the School of Medicine curriculum. This will be a case study – outlining the process we undertook to make the use of this tool in the curriculum a reality.
The opportunity came to us from Dr. Grant Cannon, who is the overall course master for a course titled Topics In Medicine. Over the past 7 years we have worked with Dr. Cannon to teach evidence-based searching skills to the medical students during their Ob/Gyn rotation and he wondered if we would be interested in working with the Pediatric rotation, possibly using handheld devices. We of course jumped at the chance.
The first step in this process was to start planning. We had meetings starting in March of 2003. We talked about ways the devices could potentially be used in the rotation; we needed to select a specific device. Nancy Lombardo, our Systems Librarian, did most of the initial investigation into the model. We selected the Tungsten C, with wireless capability and LOTS of memory. We established a timeline and agreed to start the course in the first week of July 2003.
As we talked about ways the devices could be used, we also identified appropriate software applications – a few of the more pediatric oriented programs were Kidometer, Red Book (related to pediatric infectious diseases and is considered their bible) and PedsBase, a resource of pediatric disease conditions.
We also needed to find funding for these $500 devices and some of the fee-based software.
And we needed to address faculty training.
Nancy and Dr. Cannon applied for funding. We needed 15 student devices, 6 devices for pediatric faculty and 8 devices for Eccles Library faculty. In total the project, to this point, has cost $16,567.
Next in the process, and appealing to my practical nature, we approached the course content. Working with Drs. Cannon and Maloney, we established specific goals and objectives. There are 5 2-hour sessions over a six week period. Session 1 is the building your Palm session. The students, who's skill levels with these devices range from novice to expert, are given the opportunity to download applications (we have them do Acrobat Reader and a drug resource, ePocrates), and practice enter basis address and calendar functions and them beaming their business card to the instructors. During Session 2 the students present an evaluation of an assigned application and then for Session 3, they find a new application
and again present an evaluative review to their peers. Sessions 4 and 5 related to evidence-based searching and evaluating research articles. The intent is to use the ebm tools on the handheld devices.
Our colleague John Bramble took the lead in resolving many of the technical issues related to this project. John worked diligently with the staff at the American Academy of Pediatrics to resolve the licensing issues related to the use of the Red Book, a fairly expensive program. They seemed very unsure how to deal with our need to reload the application at the beginning of each rotation.
John developed a checkout and loan agreement form and staff were trained to check out the devices on the circulation system. We needed to be careful to account for all the various pieces – like the stylus and the usb cable.
And at the end of each rotation, we needed to hard reset the devices to ensure that any private information the students added to the Palm was removed before the start of the next rotation.
As we any new instruction program, we were faced with various challenges.
The most significant challenge remains the amount of time and energy to prepare the devices
for the first session of each rotation. Easily we spend 8 to 10 man hours on this.
The skill level of the library faculty ranged from novice to expert and some of us were not
comfortable with instructing students how to use the devices, when we were learning as well..
We established regular training sessions, once a week for one hour. This was an opportunity
for use to learn more about the devices, improve our skill base and increase our comfort level.
Some students came to the class with their own handheld devices – Pocket PC's or Sony
Clio's, etc. And some students wanted to use their own devices rather than check out one we
were providing. So we are still working with that one.
In addition, there is no standard for application installation. Some apps are more difficult than
others to download; and the process can be time consuming and frustrating.
Over the course of the program, we have discarded some applications and added others – this
based on usability and expressed preferences from faculty and students.
And then there have been issued with damage to the devices – we have had three screens
broken and one device was dropped into water (possibly a toilet) and have had to be returned
and fixed. We haven't had a lost device yet, and we hope we don't have to deal with that one.
So how was the program implemented:
The students are issued a Palm for their 6 week pediatric rotation. Library faculty instruct the students in device basics – how to use the calendar, address book, etc. We also get the more experienced students to coach the less experienced students and we encourage peer to peer teaching of device applications.
The pediatric faculty provide needed context and content expertise, and practical instruction in using certain applications and they provide instruction in evidence-based searching.
Course corrections and enhancements are ongoing.
Overall, the experience has been valuable to the library faculty and to the students.
Our most significant outcome is that we have exhibited leadership in promoting the use of leading edge technologies in the School of Medicine curriculum.

text: Mladin On American Superbike Pole Paul Carruthers | March 5, 2009Rules be damned. Mat Mladin is still Mat Mladin.With the American Superbike rules dumbed down to make them closer to the now bygone Superstock rules, the man who has dominated AMA Superbike racing like no other went out and did exactly that in today's first-ever AMA Superpole at Daytona International Speedway. He dominated.Turning a lap faster than anyone had gone all week, Mladin and the Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000 circulated at 1:37.499 – .846 of a second faster than his teammate Tommy Hayden, the man who was quickest from the "basic qualifying" session held earlier today. Hayden, who posted at 1:38.211 in this morning's qualifying, lapped slightly slower at 1:38.345 in Superpole.Mladin was fastest in all four segments, the Australian turning it up from the earlier qualifying session and taking .920 of a second off his lap time from this morning."Yeah, it's a good lap for us," Mladin said. "We've had to acclimate with the bike fairly quickly. It's a brand new bike here for us this week. It goes to show how good of a sportbike Suzuki makes. I mean, we pulled it out of the truck and we've gone reasonably quick. I thought lap times, as far as actual lap times, were a couple seconds slower than last year, but obviously the bike's very different. We're reasonably happy and things are looking okay for the race and it's only a short one, so we'll try to get through it and I've got a six o'clock flight. Hopefully I'll make it."Third fastest was the Foremost Insurance Ducati of Larry Pegram, the Ohioan bettering his qualifying time to post a 1:38.455. Pegram topped Corona Honda's Neil Hodgson, the Brit putting in a 1:38.479 (another to go faster than what he qualified at) to fill the front row for this afternoon's opening round of the AMA American Superbike Championship.Row two will be led by the third of the Rockstar Makita Suzukis – this one ridden by Superbike class rookie Blake Young. Surprisingly, Young led most of the Superpole session, the young Wisconsinite lapping at 1:39.633.Young will be joined on the second row by Michael Jordan Motorsports Aaron Yates, Yamaha's Josh Hayes and Celtic Racing's Michael Laverty, the Irishman making his Daytona debut a successful one thus far.National Guard Suzuki's Geoff May ended the session in ninth, one spot better than Yamaha's Ben Bostrom. Ironically, Bostrom – one of the few riders in the field with extensive Superpole experience from his World Superbike days – slipped from sixth in "basic qualifying" to 10th in Superpole.Superpole Qualifying1.

The colour and leather are stunning. It does all it needs to do by way of function. The sealed seams should make it very durable. Did I miss something? I would have liked a choice of one without the stiffening, it would be a joy to hold a softer version. The quality of the paper inserts was far higher than the mass produced brands.

I am thankful that I stole two teabags of this from my boyfriend because one just isn't enough for me. It is a really nice bold flavor. The bergamot is a little bit lighter than what I am used to, but I think it makes for a slightly better cup. Mostly because it doesn't make the tea get bitter at the end.

Today Rackspace is defining a new category of hosting – Managed Cloud – much as we did a decade ago when we led the way in Managed Hosting. Our first service offering in this new category is Cloud Servers with a managed service level, marrying our industry-leading 24×7 managed service on dedicated hosting with our highly scalable on-demand Cloud Servers. The end result is a premier offering allowing your business to spend less time worrying about infrastructure and instead more time focusing on the core business.
Here at Rackspace we have designed and built our company behind one underlying mission: to be regarded as one of the world's great service companies. On the dedicated hosting side of Rackspace, we have provided managed service levels since the inception of Rackspace. We revolutionized this concept on dedicated hosting and today we are bringing it to the cloud.
We constantly hear business owners and executives say, "I really want to use the cloud, but I don't want to administer the servers" or "I just don't have the resources to manage the cloud infrastructure I would need." Now, those businesses can get the help that they want and need.
You can think of Managed Cloud as the equivalent of having an entire Sys Admin team managing and monitoring your infrastructure 24x7x365, at a fraction of the cost of hiring your own staff to do the job. In addition this dedicated team will provide support all the way up the stack, including OS Support and Application Level Support and technical advice. Tired of getting paged in the middle of the night? Let us handle those hassles!
We have been developing this new level of service as a beta with more than a hundred customers over the past several months. Customers such as World Triathlon Corp (Owner of Ironman Triathlon), Sitters.com, and Six Red Marbles have had a chance to experience Managed Cloud over the past few months and here is what they have to say:
Our website can help you learn more about Managed Cloud. Please take a look around and let us know what you think. We are eager to hear your feedback.
In addition we will hold a live webinar to help you learn more about Cloud Servers with a managed service level and answer your questions. Presenting at the webinar will be Lew Moorman, Chief Strategy Officer of Rackspace, Frederick Mendler, VP of Sales & Marketing, and Paul Salisbury, Program Manager for Managed Cloud. Register now.

A 19-year-old killed in a traffic collision in Menifee was identified today as a Winchester resident.
Harry Martinez was a passenger in a vehicle that overturned around 11 p.m. Thursday on Antelope Road, just north of Scott Road, said Sgt. Cheryl Evans of the Perris sheriff's station.
"The driver, a 25-year-old man, was traveling south on Antelope Road at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway, attempted to get back onto the roadway, losing control of his vehicle and causing it to roll over," Evans said.
Martinez was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene, she said.
The driver and two other passengers, a 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old man, were taken to a hospital for treatment of "major" injuries, Evans said.
Drugs and alcohol are believed to be involved in the crash.

At a convention today Thursday, tribes from around the Northwest released a joint statement calling for a full environmental analysis of five proposed coal export terminals in Oregon and Washington.
The coal would be shipped across the Pacific to Asian markets.
Fifty-seven tribes came together to voice concerns about the health, safety and environmental impacts of exporting coal from Montana and Wyoming through the Northwest.
If any of the proposed export terminals are built, the coal would travel by rail and ship through Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
The Northwest tribes have joined environmental groups in calling for a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement or EIS of each of the terminals. That would take a broader look at the effects of increased rail traffic through tribal lands and communities all along the route of the coal trains, instead of just reviewing each terminal on an individual basis.
The Army Corps of Engineers is in charge of the review process for each terminal and has already decided not to do a programmatic EIS on two of the other proposed coal projects, one near Bellingham and the other on the Columbia River.
The tribes also called for full governmental transparency throughout the review process for all the terminals.

'The Creation of the World' Examines Science and Music, 1/29
Music and science merge as the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta (ECMSA) continues its Emerson Concert Series with "The Creation of the World" at Emory's Schwartz Center for Performing Arts on Sunday, January 29 at 4 p.m.
The program, made possible in part by a grant from Emory's Center for Chemical Evolution (CCE), examines The Common elements of discovery and creation in the arts and sciences, beginning with a contrapuntal conversation between two distinguished and famously accessible master teachers, David Lynn of the CCE and Dwight Andrews, professor of music theory. The discussion will start at the very beginning of both subjects-the origin of life and the origin of music-from current scientific understanding and theories of chemical and biological origins and current theoretical and physical understanding of the origins of sound and music.
The second half of the program will be performed by the Vega String Quartet, William Ransom of the ECMSA and professor of piano studies, and an all-star cast of Emory faculty and guest artists. It will open with a performance of the Adagio and Fugue from J.S. Bach's Sonata in C for Solo Violin, followed by Bela Bartok's String Quartet #3 and finally Darius Milhaud's "The Creation of the World."
This program is made possible in part with support from the NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution. The Vega Quartet's residency at Emory is made possible by a generous grant from the Abraham J. and Phyllis Katz Foundation.

UNDATED (AP) — Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III says he's "ready to move on" and take a bigger role in practice as he works his way back from knee surgery. Griffin says he's had no soreness or swelling in his right knee during the first week-and-a-half of training camp.
Coach Mike Shanahan has limited Griffin to 7-on-7 drills during camp, keeping the quarterback away from 11-on-11 sessions. Griffin says he can only accomplish so much in the 7-on-7s and that he's ready for more.
Also in the NFL, Baltimore tight end Ed Dickson has a slight tear in his hamstring and will be sidelined for at least a week. Dickson had just 21 receptions last season after catching 54 passes for 528 yards and five touchdowns in 2011.
Green Bay starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga reportedly suffered a season-ending knee injury during a weekend scrimmage. The Journal Sentinel, citing an unidentified source, reported that Bulaga tore an ACL and will miss the season. The Packers canceled practice Monday and no one from the team was available to comment.
Denver tight end Joel Dreessen has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss the remainder of training camp. Right tackle Orlando Franklin limped off the field early during Monday's practice with an injured hip and did not return.
Browns running back Trent Richardson is in full pads and practicing again. The second-year pro was held out of Cleveland's two previous training camp sessions with a bruised right shin, but coach Rob Chudzinski said the move was strictly precautionary.
The Arizona Cardinals again were without their top two running backs as training camp resumed Monday following a day off for all the players. Rashard Mendenhall missed his third straight practice with patella tendinitis and Ryan Williams remained sidelined with a sore knee.
Colts receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey spent Monday afternoon watching Colts' practice due to a sprained knee. The team doesn't believe the injury is serious and expects Heyward-Bey to be back on the field soon.

According to the World Health Organization, more than a hundred million acts of sexual intercourse take place every day. In this immensely entertaining and informative book, Margolis lays out in glorious and rich detail the widely varied human experience of sex beyond the simple and necessary act of reproduction. From straightforward biology of the human body to the mind-bendingly various cultural norms and practices within human civilizations past and present, Margolis presents a beautifully written, deep-focus view of human sexual pursuit, gratification and frustration. According to Margolis, the orgasm has been cherished, misunderstood, feared and pandered to throughout the ages. He cites anthropological research indicating that while the innate human tendency toward "pair bonding" holds true, sex and pleasure were once free and synonymous. Orgasm, with its white-hot physical pleasure and consciousness-altering effects, was worshiped in many developing cultures. As civilizations became more sophisticated about reproduction and, sadly, property rights, orgasms and who gives, receives and enjoys them, became increasingly regulated. In the West particularly, the female orgasm—always a mystery to the mostly patriarchal power structure—was increasingly seen as a threat to the advancement of social development. In the modern age, science has taken a front seat in the understanding and exploration of this most basic of human experience, with mixed results. While women have made strides toward orgasmic equality, in Margolis's view there is still some way to go. Neither leering nor squeamish, Margolis has created a fresh, compelling work guaranteed to ignite much late-night conversation. Agent, Jane Gelfman. (Nov.)

Ok so I had my tummy tuck performed on Wedneday, the 3rd, and I have to say that I love it. I have posted a before picture and wanted everyone to see what I had to work with before the surgery. I have always been small and maintained the same weight, usually within 114 to 117 pounds.
It has been 4 days since my surgery and I took a couple of pics, but I will take some to post after my 2nd checkup with my plastic surgeon tomorrow. Right now I have disgusting drains coming out of me, it is pretty gross! I can say that the first 2 days are definetely terrible, but the pain is worth it. Yes you do have to hunch over, but in the end it will be so wonderful. My tummy is already so pretty, the doctor also liposuctioned my flanks ( no more LOVE HANDLES...) gave me a buttock lift, and basically gave my pubic area a more youthful appeal.So all in all I got everything I wanted and more Plus my right breast is looking awesome, it is rather painful at times but I love it.
