Sometimes I make the same stupid mistakes that I warn other consumers about.
That is what happened when I purchased a DVD cloner program for my MacBook Pro from Herman Street, a seller for computer programs and electronics.
I made all the rookie mistakes possible because I was in rush.
I failed to look up reviews on the program as well as on the company. I also failed to check the Better Business Bureau website at BBB.org where I would have seen that there were 43 complaints about the products they sell.
Even worse, I charged my debit card for the $43.25 product, instead of a credit card, where I could have disputed the charge.
So I got what I deserved. The program does not work. The code they sent me is not accepted by the program. I have called both Herman Street as well as the developer, www.dvd-cloner.com, and still do not have a valid code nor a refund, despite purchasing the program Dec. 18.
I filed a complaint with the BBB today. I will update with result.
UPDATE: I finally got my refund from Herman Street. I thing it is because of the BBB complaint I filed.

Rabin was hospitalized Saturday after suffering severe chest pains while playing tennis with her husband.
She was rushed to Sheba Hospital of the Tel Hashomer government medical center, near Tel Aviv, and has been resting in the hospital's intensive care unit since Saturday.
Her doctors said she will be encouraged to get out of bed Tuesday and is due to be discharged from the hospital within three days.

Iowa's Rep. Steve King got into trouble before the
election when he suggested the government is too quick to
spend money after a disaster. In his debate against Democrat Christie Vilsack, he said, "I
want to get them the resources that are necessary to lift
them out of this water and the sand and the ashes and the
death that's over there in the East Coast and especially in

Consider what charities to support by gifting appreciated stock
Thanksgiving Day
Donor Advised Funds offer the charitably inclined new
flexibility for managing gifts to charity. By funding an
account, donors receive an immediate tax deduction for their
contribution and gain the flexibility to direct payouts to
charity on their own timetable. However, donor advised accounts are not for everyone. Before
funding an account of your own, consider the cost. Using a
donor advised fund to manage your charitable donations may
actually diminish the tax benefits of giving. The growing popularity of donor advised accounts is due, in
part, to the hassle-free gifting solutions they offer

I know it's way after Christmas, but I just found a solution for all our Christmas card pictures. I love to show Henry the pictures so that he can get to know faces and keep them up all year. Usually, I put the pictures up on our fridge, but it soon gets crowded. Well, Erika from Oops, I Craft My Pants came up with the perfect solution. She made her own magnets out of instagram photos, and I used her idea to make Christmas card magnets. Now we lots of magnets of all our lovely friends and family members.
Make Christmas Cards Into Magnets
3 comments:
Great idea. But "Oops I craft my pants" is going to be what I think about all day today. Ha! That's funny.ReplyDelete
Good idea! I hate throwing those cute Christmas cards away, but seriously, what else am I going to do with them? problem solved.ReplyDelete
Great I idea; should have thought of that. My mom would sometimes make place mats from the cards and wrapping paper and laminate them. Both of these are things I want to do next year.ReplyDelete

What the fuck? Do gay men read this crap? Gay for pay has nothing on this fucked up shit. Read the synopsis for this book. Bitch needs therapy, big time.
King's Conquest (Mending the Rift)
"In a world where two kingdoms are constantly at war, Prince Rinin, heir to the throne of Kari Kingdom, has been demanded as a war conquest by King Merinej of Jede. The choice is simple: the prince will travel to his enemy's kingdom and share the king's bed, or else the war continues. But Rin will not lower himself to be a whore, so he demands a contract requiring the king to be faithful. In return, the prince will risk his life by giving the king a child.
Where Rin expected nothing more than a business arrangement, he receives affection. The more surprising realization is the willingness of his own heart to return the same. But even his king cannot save Rin from those who wish him harm, and their joining might be over before it can fully bloom."

With the holiday season in full swing, finding quick and easy places to grab a bite to eat while shopping can be challenging. I headed to Chino hoping to an eatery that would be easy for folks when they are out holiday shopping. I found a perfect spot in the Chino Spectrum East called Louie's Chicken Cafe.
The dining area is casual and on the snug side, but there are tables outside for patrons that need more space.
Louie's Chicken Cafe menu is all about rotisserie chicken including 11 gourmet pita wraps, including a vegetarian pita, in small and large sizes starting at $5.59 such as Tuscan pita, Havana pita, shrimp pita and several more, each is served with one side order. Also featured on the menu are 12 Cafe specialities such lemon chicken. The bowls start at $6.25 and can be ordered as a plate and all include black beans and rice.
The menu also offers homemade soups in small and large portions ranging from $4.65 to $6.45 and salads in medium and large sizes starting at $4.99.
If you want to keep it simple, the menu offers rotisserie chicken starting with a quarter chicken with one side for $5.79, some with a side order, some with pita bread and salsa.
Everything looked delicious so I asked the young lady at the counter for a recommendation. She suggested the spicy chicken plate for $7.25. I grabbed a drink and sat by the window to watch the action outside.
Lunch arrived at my table and looked great. The plate was filled with chunks of rotisserie chicken with a spicy sauce, roasted bell peppers, tomatoes, sauteed spinach topped with grated Jack and cheddar cheese served with a more than ample serving of rice and black beans. The chicken was tender and moist, and the beans and rice were piping hot— just what I needed to keep me going for the rest of the day.
Louie's Chicken Cafe menu also features two family specials. Special 1 includes two whole chickens, two large side orders, pita bread and garlic sauce or salsa for $27.99. Special 2 features three whole chickens, three large sides, pita bread and sauce or salsa for $38.99. Just the thing for busy folks during the holiday season.
Louie's Chicken Cafe features a menu many delicious choices, quick service, good prices and just the place for people on the go.

Imageepoch PS3 RPG Tokitowa's Battles Have Action Elements
We'll be getting a first look at Imageepoch's PlayStation 3 RPG Tokitowa later tonight during the company's JRPG Declaration 2012 press conference. But before that, Famitsu has a few details as part of a dialogue between CEO Ryoei Mikage, Tokitowa producer Kay Hirono (Namco Bandai), and Tales series producer Makoto Yoshizumi (Namco Bandai).
Yoshizumi said that upon seeing a video of the game he felt that they were doing something incredible.
He also provided some hints about what we can expect from the gameplay, one of the more mysterious parts from last week's announcement. The game's battle system will not be the type where you select commands from a menu. It will have action elements. Also, the element of "time" will have a role in the battle system in unexpected ways.
The theme of the game is time, said Yoshizumi ("Toki" means time). An important keyword is marriage (your character and the main heroine are married). The game will be full of serious, sexy and comical elements.
There are currently no plans to make the game into a series, said Yoshizumi. However, he does not want the game to end with this first title.
For details on how you can watch the Tokitowa debut trailer during today's Imageepoch press conference, see this story.

Honda has just announced that it will build a production model based on the V4 Concept. Sales will start "in the first half of 2010." Underneath the crazy hubless wheels and bizarre headlight, the V4 Concept is a powerful superbike more focused on rider comfort and on-road ability than racetrack success. Hopefully, the 2010 Honda V4 will shed some of the current VFR's boring practicality, gaining speed and involvement in the process.
Honda stated:
"The exciting news of the V4 production model is the result of overwhelming response from customers, media and motorcycle dealers across Europe following the debut of the V4 Concept Model at last month's Intermot show, where the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer chose 'New Beginnings' as its theme to celebrate Honda's 60th anniversary as a company, 50th anniversary of racing and 30th anniversary of the Honda's iconic V4 engine configuration.
"Building on this theme at this week's Milan Show, Honda highlighted the next stage of the V4 story and looked forward to the next 60 years of motorcycle production, with V4 technology forming a part of the marque's future direction in the coming few years, starting in just 18 months time with the introduction of the first V4 mass-production model in the first half of 2010."

Hi everyone!
I haven't been on here for about 2 years. Some of you might think I just stopped, but with all honesty I did. I didn't quit, I just hit pause. Well, more like my hips did. During freshman year, I had severe hip pain that wouldn't go away. After a year trying to figure what's wrong, I discovered I had hip dysplasia. A teenager who has hip problems, what? Yeah, I know, it was really weird for me, too. Since then, I had two PAOs (Periacetabular Osteotomy...not so fun), a difficult junior year, a tennis and a swim season, but there wasn't time for me to begin running again, a sport that I have grown up with. Nevertheless, I am glad that I am able to walk and now officially run again, all thanks to Dr. Kim and his team at Boston Children's Hospital.
Right now, the severe weather and cold is probably going to delay my return to running, but when there isn't ice on the roads or the snow on the trails have been compacted, I will begin training before university.
Thanks everyone! Enjoy the snow and stay warm!

Arizona stars Nick Foles and Juron Criner were both a step slow at Sunday's NFL Combine. How it affects their draft status won't be known for another two months.
Criner ran the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, numbers that rank 39th among wide receivers invited to the combine.
Miami receiver Travis Benjamin, Georgia Tech's Steven Hill and Stanford's Chris Owusu all tied for the best time with 4.36 seconds. Arizona State's Gerell Robinson ran a 4.62, and Oregon State's James Rodgers clocked in at 4.67.
Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, the projected No. 1 overall pick in this spring's draft, ran a better time (4.67) than Criner by one-one hundreth of a second.
Foles' 40-yard dash time of 5.14 seconds wasn't much of a surprise, given that the UA's all-time leading passer relies mostly on arm strength and footwork. Still, his time was the slowest among all quarterbacks.
Boise State's Kellen Moore was second-slowest, at 4.94 seconds, and Kirk Cousins - Michigan State's star QB and one of Foles' friends - clocked in at 4.93 seconds. Baylor's Robert Griffin, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, was the fastest at 4.41 seconds.
Both Foles and Criner can run another 40-yard dash at Arizona's on-campus pro day.
Luck still No. 1 pick?
Griffin's fast 40-yard dash time might not be enough to supplant Luck as the No. 1 pick because of Luck's versatility.
The Stanford QB's broad jump (10 feet 4 inches) was two inches short of Cam Newton's best in 2011, and Luck's vertical jump (36 inches) was better than Newton's (35).
Griffin and Luck both skipped Sunday's throwing drills, opting instead to do that with familiar receivers in a familiar environment during Pro Day workouts.
Extra points
• Justin Blackmon, the No. 1 ranked receiver in this draft class, ran the gauntlet - a drill in which players must catch balls thrown quickly in succession - but sat out the 40, as expected, after he said he hurt his hamstring last week.
• Defensive linemen and linebackers work out today. Nebraska defensive lineman Jared Crick is nearly recovered from the pectoral tear that cost him more than half his senior season.
• The NFL gave out about 250 free tickets to fans for some of Sunday's workouts.
• Wisconsin's Nick Toon is trying to follow his father's footsteps and make the NFL as a receiver. Al Toon caught 517 passes for 6,605 yards and 31 TDs from 1985-1992, all with the New York Jets. "My dad was a great route runner, had great hands," Nick Toon said. "I think I look like him a little bit."

Two separate appeals by residents of the area adjoining the proposed Dumpster Depot were filed this past Friday.
Brenda Wilson, spokesperson for a group of residents opposed to the project, and John O'Connor, a Republican state representative and neighborhood resident, both filed appeals following the Aug. 21 Planning Board vote to give conditional approval to the project.
Wilson has filed her appeal to the Planning Board for a rehearing. O'Connor filed his to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA).
The Dumpster Depot, owned by David Paul, is currently headquartered out of Manchester. Paul and his engineer, Chris Tymula, appeared before the Planning Board in June to present their plan and request conditional approval. The building off Ashleigh Drive is planned as two stories, with 7,200 square feet, and will house up to 350 Dumpsters when they are not being rented out.
The concerns of residents ranged from hours of operation to noise to the possibility of rats and other vermin being attracted to Dumpsters that have not been emptied. The initial appearance before the Planning Board was June 19. Paul and Tymula requested and received a continuation until July, and after the July meeting the issue was scheduled for a final vote Aug. 21.
Appeal to ZBA
O'Connor, a resident of Arrowhead Road, is vice-chair of the Planning Board but recused himself from the board and from votes.
O'Connor said in a phone interview Monday that he is challenging the fact that the building of the Dumpster Depot was approved as a "Contractor's Yard," when there is no definition for such a facility in Derry's zoning ordinance. O'Connor said, "Since there is no definition of a contractor's yard in our ordinance, I am appealing the decision to permit this facility as a contractor's yard."
O'Connor continued, "Dumpster Depot should have gone to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and requested a variance according to the five criteria for a variance."
O'Connor said the definition of a contractor's yard was repealed May 14, 2012 and deleted by the Town Council June 14, 2012.
While O'Connor originally planned to help Wilson with research for her appeal, he realized that any appeal to the ZBA had to be from a direct abutter, which he is and the Wilsons are not. "I decided to appeal this point," he said of the "contractor's yard" definition.
O'Connor remains opposed to the project for several reasons, including a belief that the Ashleigh Drive area is not zoned for that type of facility and that it will impact the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District on Manchester Road.
"Nobody will want to put a fancy restaurant next to a Dumpster Depot," he said. "It will reduce the value not only of homes, but of businesses."
O'Connor said a tentative date of Oct. 3 has been set for his appeal to the ZBA.
Appeal to Planning Board
He is also supporting Wilson in her appeal, which is to the legality of the proceedings Aug. 21. O'Connor and Wilson contend that the Aug. 21 meeting, which was continued from June and July, was still in deliberative mode.
"Under the RSA," O'Connor said, "there can be no further input, including from the site applicant." O'Connor said the board let Paul and Tymula talk for a half hour before discussing the matter themselves.
"When they opened the Aug. 21 meeting, they were still in deliberative mode," he said.
The Planning Board should have scheduled an entirely new public hearing, O'Connor said.
Wilson agreed in a phone interview Monday, "The applicant should not have been allowed to speak."
Wilson noted that in the July meeting, Planning Board Chairman David Granese said the matter would be continued to Aug. 21 strictly for voting and that with Paul and Tymula allowed to speak, "it changed all the conditions."
Wilson said no date had been set for the rehearing but she expected it to be on the agenda and a date set at the Sept. 18 Planning Board meeting. She said she and supporters, not all from the neighborhood, expected to attend that meeting and also the Town Council meeting on Sept. 17 to speak in the public comment portion of the meeting. Both meetings occur after the Nutfield News went to press.
Wilson has a list of concerns about the project but if pressed to name her biggest concern, it would be allowing unemptied Dumpsters to return to the facility. Paul has agreed to limit these to 24 hours on weekdays and 36 on weekends. It's not enough of a concession for Wilson, who is worried about rats, vermin and the possible effect on well water.
Allowing the full Dumpsters to stay overnight, she said, "makes it a transfer station."
Planning response
Derry Planning Director George Sioras said because the matter is under appeal, he would decline to comment.
Granese said, "The board followed the policies and procedures under its rules and regulations."
Granese added that in a Planning Board deliberation, it is normal to allow the applicant to speak. It's different from the rules for the ZBA, in which only the board is allowed to discuss the matter.
Dumpster Depot Faces Appeals to Planning, Zoning Boards
Two separate appeals by residents of the area adjoining the proposed Dumpster Depot were filed this past Friday.

Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sep. 14)
A new fascist party, the Fascist Party of Sao Paulo, has been organized here.
Its leaders, who are Brazilian descendants of Germans and Italians who have lived here for a long time, believe that the original Sao Paulo fascist party is not anti-Semitic enough.
The newspapers of Brazil devoted a great deal of space to the reports of the Jewish economic conference held recently at Geneva. The press here was under the impression that the conference represented the combined Jewish economic strength of all the world.
Some of the papers commented on the conference as being an important undertaking which would also indirectly benefit brazil, since many Jewish refugees would come there and help in the development of Brazilian industry, which would derive a great deal from their experience and intelligence.

Voters in 2008 approved $10 billion in bonds to start construction on an 800-mile (1,300-kilometer) rail line to ferry passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2 hours and 40 minutes, compared with 6 hours by car now during good traffic. Since then, the housing market collapsed, multibillion-dollar budget deficits followed, and the price tag has fluctuated wildly â¿¿ from $45 billion in 2008 to more than $100 billion in 2011 and, now, $68 billion.Political and financial compromises led officials to scale back plans that now mean trains will be forced to slow down and share tracks in major cities, leading critics to question whether it will truly be the 220-mph (355-kph) "high-speed rail" voters were promised. The high-speed rail business plan says trains will run between the greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area by 2029. But construction has been postponed repeatedly, and a court victory this summer by opponents threatens further delays; a Sacramento County Superior Court judge said the state rail authority's plan goes against the promise made to voters to identify all the funding for the first segment before starting construction. Even the former chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Quentin Kopp, has turned against the current project, saying in court papers that it "is no longer a genuine high speed rail system." In the Central Valley, there is intense distrust of the authority, which has started buying up property, land and businesses, some of which have been in families for generations. At the dimly lit Cosmopolitan Cafe, office workers line up alongside farmers and paramedics to order sandwiches as waitresses expeditiously call out order numbers. Four decades' worth of memorabilia and yellowing newspaper restaurant reviews line the faux-wood walls in the space that Lanfranco has owned for most of his life.

Summits of the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation group have often been overshadowed by regional political disputes or broader economic turmoil since the grand 1994 Bogor plan for regional free trade and investment.
But the institution has restored its relevance in a crowded marketplace of regional talkfests with its plan to cut tariffs on environmental products by 2015.
APEC has typically not tried to cut trade deals and instead preferred to see its role as a trade facilitator and liberalisation ginger group.
But its web of meetings by experts rather than politicians and an increasingly active Singapore-based secretariat – soon to be led by New Zealand central banker Alan Bollard – means the body has a valuable role in strengthening the infrastructure of regional economic reform.
The new project of opening up the education systems of 21 diverse countries is likely to be slow moving given the cultural and political vested interests involved.
But it is vital to improving the efficiency of the less developed APEC members which are struggling with the challenge of boosting productivity at a time when some fear becoming old before they are rich.
Negotiating the thickets of trans-border education vested interests also seems to be a classic project for the non-confrontational reform culture APEC has developed over the years.
Nevertheless, the absence of US President Barack Obama from Vladivostok and the focus within Asia on the November meeting of the East Asia Summit as the peak regional event suggests APEC will not regain its early buzz.

Café el Sol: Where Mexico Meets Puerto Rico
Needless to add, Spanish is spoken here, but the friendly staff is bilingual. Desayunos (breakfast), served 7:30-11 a.m. (Monday through Friday), features Mexican favorites such as chilaquiles ($6.25), corn chips and scrambled eggs in ranchero sauce, and spicy huevos rancheros ($5.95), with choice of toast or tacos (corn or flour). Vegetarians will be happy with a side of refried beans, while carnivores may opt instead for those staples of American breakfast—sausage, bacon or ham. Portions are not as brimming as at some local Mexican restaurants, but the quality is good and the servings are attractive.
By lunchtime, a basket of crispy chips and a bowl of salsa arrive on each table. The all-you-can-eat taco and salad bar ($6.95) is a fast, filling choice. The steam trays are filled with tacos and tostadas, beef and pulled chicken, refried beans and Mexican rice. There are cheeses, tomatoes and sour cream, along with the usual fixings for a salad. If you'd rather order off the menu, all the usual Mexican favorites from flautas and fajitas to enchiladas and burritos are available ($6.95-$9.95). One of the Café's distinctions, however, are the Puerto Rican botanas (appetizers), including four kinds of plantains ($2.75-$4.95) and a daily Puerto Rican entrée special of beef, pork or chicken dishes ($7.75).
The Friday evening special is billed as a fish fry buffet ($11.95), but a recent visit found fried fish, baked fish, beef stew and pork stew as well as tasty Mexican rice and refried beans. Live music begins at 6:30 p.m.
A small bar faces Café el Sol from across the foyer, serving margaritas ($6) and a short list of wine and domestic and imported beers. The Café lacks its own street entrance, but is just a short elevator ride down from the UCC's lobby.

Nearly all judicial candidates promise to be tough yet fair. The battle for the Republican nomination for Alabama Supreme Court chief justice may turn on who best can manage a court system hammered by budget cuts.
The three men seeking the post all claim to have the best administrative experience to accomplish the task.
Incumbent Chuck Malone twice was elected presiding judge of Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court and spent time as Gov. Robert Bentley's chief of staff before Bentley appointed him to his current position last year.
Mobile County Presiding Circuit Judge Charles Graddick runs the state's second-biggest court system and also served as attorney general.
And Roy Moore was chief justice until being ousted for failing to follow a federal court order to remove a monument to the Ten Commandments that he installed in the Alabama judicial building.
Republican voters will pick their nominee on March 13. The winner will run against Democrat Harry Lyon in the fall.
Looming large in the race is the issue of how to maintain basic court services amid declining budgets that forced layoffs last year.
Malone said that he has developed a comprehensive plan to persuade lawmakers to increase funding for the court system by $18 million. "I believe everything in my career has prepared me to be the chief justice," he said. "I have a plan, and I think I'm the only one that has a sound, business-plan approach to our financial situation."
Malone said that he is leading by example; he intends to sell the state-issued sport utility vehicle assigned to the chief justice.
Over the next 2 weeks, the Press-Register will publish Q&A presentations featuring candidates in some of the top contested races on the March 13 primary ballot.
All of these will be Republican races, since there are very few Democratic matches statewide or in our local area.
Here's the schedule:
- Today, Supreme Court chief justice
- Saturday, March 3, state Board of Education District 1
- Sunday, March 4, Baldwin County school board Districts 1 and 2
- Monday, March 5, Mobile County school board District 1
- Tuesday, March 6, associate state justice Place 1
- Sunday, March 11, Mobile County Commission District 3
Malone has tangled with Graddick and Moore over funding for the court system's administrative division, the Administrative Office of Courts. Graddick and Moore both have vowed to impose cuts there.
Graddick said, "The entire system needs to be streamlined from top to bottom."
He pointed to a proliferation of staff at the court's central office, particularly high-income lawyers whose jobs may not be essential. He said that the AOC was set up to support the county courthouses.
"Now frankly, it is running the court systems to the point where the court systems are supporting AOC," Graddick said. "They do nothing to help us in the trenches down here in terms of seeing that a case is moved quickly through the court system."
Moore said that the AOC director makes about 50 percent more than the director did when he was chief justice a decade ago. "Salaries have gone up exorbitantly," Moore said. "Definitely, we don't need to be increasing salaries when we're cutting positions in the circuit courts around the state."
Malone said that the AOC has experienced layoffs, and that several top officials are wearing multiple hats. The director, for instance, also serves as chief counsel.
"We're doubling up on doing those jobs. We're starting to make it lean," Malone said.
But Malone said that it's still more efficient and cheaper to have the AOC function as one personnel department for all employees, for example, than to have separate departments in 67 counties. "There's an economy of scale, and we have a great model," he said.
Graddick and Malone disagree about taking advantage of lower interest rates to refinance $10 million in bonds issued years ago to support the court system.
Graddick said refinancing could free up hundreds of thousands of dollars for the court system. But Malone said interest rates have not fallen enough to justify the added debt that the state would incur.
In guiding the courts through the budget crisis, Graddick said he would draw on his experience as attorney general in the 1980s. "I did that and was able to turn that office around so much as to turn money back to the state general fund every year," he said.
Moore, who became a political celebrity because of his Ten Commandments battle, said he is best-equipped to deal with state cuts because of something for which he is less well known — his experience handling budget struggles in 2001.
"I know the job. I've done the job. We need leadership in the judicial branch at a time when we've got a severe budget deficit," he said. "I've handled these problems before."
Moore said he converted the court system from paper to electronic files, bringing a substantial savings. Also, he said, the Legislature passed a bill on his recommendation that allowed for the seizure of income tax refunds to pay court fines and costs.
Moore said he enjoys good relationships with lawmakers and would draw on that to obtain funding that the system needs. "We're not talking about an agency here. We're talking about a branch," he said.
The candidates agree that it's not the responsibility of the Supreme Court to promote so-called sentencing reform. Democrat Sue Bell Cobb advocated unsuccessfully during her tenure for changes that would reduce sentences for some drug-related and nonviolent offenses. The idea was to relieve crowded conditions in state prisons.
Malone described the sentencing issue as old news and said his priority will be restoring funding for the court system.
Moore said that some changes could have merit for the Legislature to consider, but that judges must retain sentencing discretion. "There certain crimes people should be punished for," he said.
And Graddick said: "What costs more, keeping somebody in prison or letting them break into someone's house?"

Staff report
Both victims of a house fire earlier this week on Auman Drive in Carmel died, according to family members and officials with the Marion County Coroner's Office.
Jim Shiel, 26, died at 11:47 a.m. March 21 and his son Andy, 2, died at 5:58 a.m. March 22. Both had been hospitalized in Indianapolis after the early morning fire on March 20.
A pet dog, Kansas, also died in the fire.
Jim Shiel's body had been kept on life support since March 20 so that his organs – his heart, pancreas, liver and both kidneys – could be donated to three people in need, according to a news release from the City of Carmel
Family members said they wanted to extend thanks to the firefighters' efforts and attention paid to them during this tragic loss, the release said.
The fire was reported at 6:31 a.m. March 20 by a neighbor who was leaving for work and noticed fire coming from the front of the house.
The neighbor called 9-1-1 and knocked on the door trying to alert the residents. When no one answered she then went and alerted another neighbor who attempted to enter the house on fire, but was not able to enter due to smoke and fire, according to a news release from the City of Carmel
When Carmel firefighters arrived they discovered the two victims in the kitchen.
Fire investigators believe some pinched electrical wires behind a desk may have caused the fire to ignite curtains and spread through part of the house, according to the release.
There were no smoke detectors found in this house, said Bruce Knott, Fire Marshal for the Carmel Fire Department.

The media coverage and analysis of President Obama's speech at Notre Dame on Sunday largely focused on the issue of abortion. And he did speak on that issue, clearly and strongly reiterating his own approach of finding the common ground of abortion reduction between the polarized options of "pro-choice" and "pro-life," and naming practical solutions that many on both sides of the divide can support.
Maybe we won't agree on abortion, but we can still agree that this heart-wrenching decision for any woman is not made casually; it has both moral and spiritual dimensions. So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions; let's reduce unintended pregnancies. Let's make adoption more available. Let's provide care and support for women who do carry their children to term. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause

Before getting into a whipped cream fight that ended in a soupy, non-CO2 charged mess (FYI: Cat Cora doesn't do whippets, but the audience of The Late Late Show is familiar with them), our favorite first lady Iron Chef sat down with Craig Ferguson for a chat that spanned everything from her pot habits to her mile high club membership.
Impressively, Cat was the one who brought up pot, which like, minus one, late night hosts.
"When I smoked pot, it did make me peckish," Craig mused.
"It makes me sleepy," Cat complained.
Which set up a perfect segue into talking about their children. (Yes, yes, we all wish our parents were this cool.)
For more from Cat's interview, including her Mile High Club status and her fond shout-out to Craig's famed audience Lesbian Row, check out her appearance below.

KAI RYSSDAL: As of a couple of weeks ago, you stopped being able to find Viacom content on YouTube. That's everything from MTV to CBS. The media giant yanked a hundred thousand clips off the viedo site after a revenue sharing deal fell through. Speculation since has been over where Viacom would go to put its content online.
Today, the company announced a deal to license its programming to a company called Joost. Yeah, Joost. Ashley Milne-Tyte has more.
ASHLEY MILNE-TYTE: Joost is the brainchild of the same pair that unveiled file-sharing service Kazaa and Internet telephony success story Skype. The service will be up and running later this year.
Joost is essentially software that will enable you to download and watch entire TV shows on your computer.
Anton Denissov
is with The Yankee Group. He says Viacom sees dollar signs in the deal.
ANTON DENISSOV: It saw its content on YouTube getting millions and millions of hits, and said, "Hey, this golden goose is still laying eggs, and we need to cash in."
Viacom and Joost won't talk about financial details. But Denissov says they've probably come to an agreement where they'll share ad revenue.
Molly Wood
of CNET.com says the move comes out of left field.
MOLLY WOOD: I think on Viacom's part, actually, it's a very bold move. Something pretty unexpected, and I think it's a big risk for them to take.
After all, Joost is a start-up. Still, she says, there's real potential for success. For one thing, Joost's founders inspire a lot of confidence among early adopters. Then it comes down to surfers' ultimate preferences: funny video clips a la YouTube, or actual shows.
WOOD: And so far there haven't been a lot of full-length television shows online. If Joost comes out and they are the company that offers all those full-length television shows online, and that turns out be what people really, really want, then they are going to be very hard to beat.
And, she says, there are more computer TV watchers than you think. Just turn around on a plane or train and see how many people are catching up on missed shows on their laptops.
In New York, I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

Removing Classrooms from the Battlefield:
Liberty, Paternalism, and the Redemptive Promise of Educational Choice
by Daniel E. Witte and Paul T. Mero
Utah's new school voucher law has meant many things to many people. For the thirty-seven percent of our Hispanic and African-American public-school1 students who do not graduate with a highschool diploma, Utah's voucher law represented a sense of hope and opportunity.2 For opponents of educational choice, the voucher law is un-American and a threat to democratic values.
This Article argues that opposition to vouchers is rooted in a disturbing paternalism.3 This sentiment is emphasized more than any other in opposition to the law—many anti-voucher arguments seem to gravitate to an idealized view of the common good—and, not coincidently, it has been a central historical theme in the relationships between the federal government and indigenous, immigrant, and religious minority groups. To understand perhaps the most beneficial impact of the new school-voucher law is to first recognize the existence of the philosophy of paternalism underlying the establishment and maintenance of our public education system.
Utah's new school voucher law, as it is written, is primarily4 about helping low-income minority students and others who are currently failing in our public schools.5 In their current socioeconomic circumstances, and unlike struggling students from wealthier families, these students are essentially segregated in their neighborhood schools and told by the keepers of the common good that their challenges do not warrant any intervention transcendent of the higher priority to maintain the alleged seedbed of democracy, our government public school system. Indeed, the sociodisadvantaged are told, the system was created for them—not for the rich and the influential who have far greater choices and opportunities6 and who are able to leverage their successes to benefit their struggling children, but for disadvantaged people who could not succeed without the beneficent (if coercive) hand of government.
If Utah's new school voucher law only does one thing—eradicate the concept of public school paternalism—it will have done more for the freedoms of all Utahns than any other single policy reform in the past century. But to appreciate the power of that statement, we must first uncover its historical narrative, and this narrative begins with the issue of black slavery. Part II discusses a few historical examples of coercion in our nation's history of minority education. Specifically, this section outlines General Richard Henry Pratt's astounding approach to educating minorities after the Civil War. Part III describes how current proponents of the government school system and opponents of education choice make arguments descended from those General Pratt espoused. This section concludes that Utahns and Americans should avoid this paternalistic approach to education by incorporating greater modes of parental choice in our education systems, such as school vouchers. Part IV offers a brief conclusion.
General Pratt's paternalistic approach to the education of minorities incorporated contemporary cultural influences and social class theory. Homebuilders, past and present, know that "mudsill" is a pounded earthen floor prevalent in most primitive homes. In the mid- to late-nineteenth century, the term mudsill was eventually ascribed derogatorily to poor people. A well-known "mudsill theory" held that poorer classes, especially black slaves, were natural and essential to human progress.
The chief proponent of mudsill theory in the Civil War era was a South Carolina planter and United States senator named James Henry Hammond. In a speech delivered on the Senate floor in 1858, Senator Hammond explained,
Hammond's contemporary, and a popular pro-slavery advocate, George Fitzhugh added,
The paternalism of slavery is deftly described by one historian this way:
Paternalism has enabled brutality against African-Americans, Native Americans,10 and others by positing that government facilitated violations of human (and constitutional) rights are necessary means to ostensibly beneficent ends. The coercive imposition of paternalism has become one of the great ironies of a free nation, and perhaps no person exemplified this irony in the arena of American education more than a seemingly obscure Union Army general named Richard Henry Pratt.
It was against the backdrop of the mudsill theory that Richard Henry Pratt emerged from the shadows of history to seize control of America's educational destiny.11 We are fortunate that General Pratt left behind a lengthy and detailed journal, now his formal autobiography appropriately titled Battlefield & Classroom, about the ideas and actions supporting his paternalistic quest to turn black slaves, American Indians,12 and Puerto Ricans into "real Americans."
Pratt's military career began with the April 1861 bombardment of Fort Sumter during the Civil War.13 He fought as a Union soldier for four years in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia, participating in some of the most vicious and bloody battles of the entire conflict.14 It was there that Pratt developed an important network with influential military and political friends, including General William Tecumseh Sherman.
After briefly leaving the military on May 29, 1865, Pratt reenlisted and was appointed a second lieutenant15 on March 7, 1867.16 He was assigned to command a newly-organized "Negro" regiment consisting of African-American enlisted men supervised by white officers.17 Of that time, Pratt later wrote:
Pratt believed that the same insights and managerial tactics also applied to other demographic minority groups, including Native Americans and Puerto Ricans.19
When the Civil War came to a close, General Sherman20 and his network of career military officers turned their attention to subduing Indian Territory in the mid-western and western United States, as well as Texas. In spring of 1867, Pratt was assigned to Fort Arbuckle in what is now Oklahoma.21 At that time, various Indian tribes were involved in an insurgency against the United States military's effort to gain permanent and exclusive territorial control. Pratt participated in eight years of battles and negotiations22 involving various tribes, including the final conquest of the Kiowas, Comanches, Cheyennes, and Arapahos.23
One of the primary grievances of the warring Indian tribes was encroachment of white settlers and the resultant reduction of available land and resources. In particular, the elimination of the buffalo herds caused Indian starvation.24 As the natural game was depleted and Indians were confined to territorial boundaries on reservations and elsewhere, Indian tribes were forced to rely upon the federal government for food.25
However, experience demonstrated that the federal government often sent insufficient or inadequate rations in violation of government obligations set forth under treaties the federal government had forced the Indians to sign.26 The Indian tribes complained that the white man was a first aggressor who had driven the Indians from their traditional lands, declared war on the Indians, and killed Indian women and children unnecessarily and indiscriminately.27 The Indians believed that their own brutal attacks against white settlements and supply convoys constituted a natural and justified tactic of self-defense and self-preservation. As a result, Indian Territory at that time was enmeshed in a vicious war on all sides, characterized by insurgency, terrorism, gruesome atrocities, sexual assault, kidnappings, torture, involuntary servitude, dismemberment, and scorched-earth tactics.28
Pratt was surprised to learn that the Cherokee Indians, who by then had been relocated to Oklahoma from Georgia as part of the "Trail of Tears" migration coercively supervised by the military in 1838,29 were already quite "civilized" and had their own self sufficient system for education:
Notwithstanding this discovery, Pratt decided that neither the Cherokee nor other Indians should be permitted to run their own schools or control the upbringing of their own children.32

Has anyone been on NCL's Western Mediterranean Cruise? I would love to hear your impressions and tips you might have to offer. Also would like to know about any "must do" excursions.
At which date do you make the journey?
Hi Smart424,
We're going on 26th August 2007. Is that the same day as you? Looks like it from your cruise ticker!
Yes, we are on the same cruise http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo.../icon_cool.gif
Maybe we can meet each other on the ship if you like.
We travel already a few days earlier and spend these to the Costa Dorada. Where do you come from?
We are from the UK and are bringing my in-laws on this cruise for their 50th Wedding Anniversary! They have never been to Spain or Italy before so it should be a real treat for them.
We went to Hawaii last year and had a fantastic time despite all the negative things that people say about NCL America. I think a cruise is very much what you make it.
It would be great to meet you on the ship. Lets keep in touch and make arrangements nearer the time. Have you planned to do any excursions? Do you have any tips?
<A HREF="http://www.TickerFactory.com/" TARGET=_blank>
Hi Captain Merky!
This is our honeymoon http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo.../icon_wink.gif!
We plan all excursions to organize. In Naples we have possibly private travel guide. She co-operates with my husband. On Messina we planing to go by train to Taormina. Also to Rome and Pisa.
I did the same cruise on the jewel last year....because of the freestyle dining you tend not to see the same people around. Not like set dining. However you never have to sit with people you may dislike. One tip....the speciality restaurants become fully booked quickly so decide which nights you would like to eat where and book them the day you embark then you will not be disappointed. The entertainment is great. The ship is great and all the ports are fantastic. Be aware that Rome is well over an hour by road from the port. Tenders only used in Villefranche. No need to rush for a seat in theatre always plenty of room. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!!!
Hi Garyg,
It's always nice to get some helpful hints from someone with a positive attitude to NCL cruises. We went to Hawaii last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned then that booking for the speciality restaurants has to be done more or less as you board the ship if there is a special occasion that you'd like to celebrate. We didn't get my first choice restaurant for my birthday. http://images7.fotki.com/v144/photos...3/sniff-vi.gif But second choice was also good. I can't see us ever going on a cruise with set meal times and seating. http://images7.fotki.com/v143/photos...33/nono-vi.gif
Can you give us an idea of what entertainment is on offer? I know it may have changed but a general idea would be useful to have.
Of all the ports, Rome offers the greatest challenge to us. There is so much to see! My first mate and I have both been before (separately) but the in-laws have never been. Given the distance from the port we're wondering what would be best to do with them in the limited time. Any ideas? What did you do in Rome? We will definitely take one of the NCL organised tours which will take the headache of getting back to the ship on time away from us.
We did rome and tha vatican i think it was $199.00 per person and leaves at 7am in morning. NCL use those fantastic headsets and the guide has a microphone and only people on the tour can hear her so no hangers on!!! It was a 2 hour+ queue to get into vatican as everyone has to do airport like security. Once inside it was great. We did some sites of Rome from the coach and stopped at the colloseum. NO trevy fountain!!!! I will give you a secret tip. Obviously NCL fill up the coaches and every sort of rushes out of the show lounge where you meet.If another cruise ship is in its chaos...QM2 was there the same day as us. If you wait and make sure your on the last coach its usually the one which is not totally full so your group will not be so big with more space on your coach.Have a great cruise. Monte Carlo trip is great and also Pisa....we had been to florence before. Naples is great because the ship berths in city centre with no tendering. Only tender in Villefranche for monte carlo. Messina is also a town centre trip. We have just booked carnival victory canada/new england in penthouse suite and not being a party animal im wondering have i dont the right thing.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 11:03 AM.

U.S. Start-up Accelerator Launches Program for Israeli Entrepreneurs
Up to five Israeli start-ups will get stipend, mentoring and opportunity to meet U.S. and Israeli investors,in the U.S. and in Israel, to help them get off the ground.
U.S-based start-up accelerator, DreamIt Ventures, announced on Wednesday the opening of a four-month accelerator program for Israeli entrepreneurs.
DreamIt Israel will help up to five Israeli startups get off the ground and gain access to U.S. and other global markets, providing mentorsing, guidance, a stipend of up to $25,000, and access to early stage capital.
Selected companies from the start-up nation will spend one month working in Israel preparing their start-ups, and then three months working in New York working alongside companies taking part in DreamIt's 2012 program there.
At the end of the program, which is the first such hybrid program where companies spend time developing both in Israel and the U.S., Israeli graduates will present their start-ups to investors in the U.S. and Israel.
Founder David Bookspan said DreamIt Ventures has been wanting to set up an Israeli program "for a number of years."
DreamIt's business accelerators in New York and Philadelphia were established in 2008, and have helped launched companies including SCVNGR, SeatGeek, Take the Interview, CloudMine, Notehall, SupplyHog, Adaptly, and 57 others.
