The Shoutout is gathering volume and the message is coming through loud and clear: JUST THINK TWICE!
- Myth: If I smoke cigarettes now and then, I won't get addicted.
- Think twice: Each puff of a cigarette gives a smoker about 1 to 2 milligrams of nicotine. Although that may not seem like much, it is enough to make someone addicted. Learn more.
- Myth: Huffing – like sniffing Sharpies or household cleaners – really doesn't do anything bad; just gives me a quick high.
- Think twice: In the short term, these chemicals can cause dizziness, loss of consciousness, bad mood swings, and headaches. In the long term, toxic fumes can take the place of oxygen in the blood, which can damage your brain and other organs. Learn more.
- Myth: Prescription drugs can't be dangerous if a doctor prescribes them.
- Think twice ADHD medications like Adderall can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure, psychosis, and seizures if they're abused; pain medications like Vicodin can cause respiratory depression and arrest, and even death, particularly when combined with alcohol. Learn more.

That was interesting about the cigarettes being addictive. I didn't know you could get addicted so quickly!

yea, dont get addicted to drugs.

ya i didnt know a little thing like having one cigarette could make you addicted.
Hello, this is nice information especially to young children who often mingle with the surrounding environments, the presence of hazardous substances contained in cigarettes or drugs, we can anticipate before trying it [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
wow. I didn't know that about just one cigarette! No one wonder so many people get addicted so easliy. Why don't they put stuff like this where teens can see it BEFORE they start doing this stuff instead of after?
Having so many things people can get addicted to these days, Im scared. Im not shocked that anything people may find pleasing could make them addicted. Food, drugs, SHARPIES??! Its outragous! Everyone is in danger!
This article is so helpful because most people don't even realize that you can get addicted to smoking, huffing, etc so fast. Huffing is one of the worst listed, because when you huff (sniff) things, then the particles in the stuff you sniff, you can actually kill your brain cells and mess up your nervous system. And smoking is much more worse, the nicotine is what makes ciggarettes so addictive, 1-2 milligrams is actually a lot, you smoke 1 ciggerette and you'll most likely want another one. But all in all, you should think twice before you start doing all this, because you're basically hurting yourself without even knowing it.
This passage explains what happens in a situation and then describes what you do when you think twice in that situation. I think when you do smoke cigarettes every now and then you do get addicted to it.
This passage explains what happens in a situation and then describes what you do when you think twice in that situation. I think when you do smoke cigarettes every now and then you do get addicted to it, because it gets into your lungs and you can't stop smoking them.
Iagee to the things about sniffing household cleaners. It can kill people and make them feel a little dizzy so think twice before you decide to sniff household cleaners.
Addiction is only a replacement to a deeper problem in most people. Until the real problem is resolved, addicted will always be there in some form.

Drinking and drug use remain a factor in teenage highway fatalities in 2008, 31 percent of drivers age 15 to 20 who were killed in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking or drug impared; 25 percent were alcohol-impaired, meaning they had a blood alcohol content of 0.08 grams per deciliter or higher. Researchers from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation say that laws banning the purchase or possession of alcohol by people under the age of 21 and banning the use of false identification to buy alcohol have reduced the ratio of drinking to nondrinking drivers involved in fatal accidents by 11 percent and 7 percent, respectively. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says that numerous studies since the 1970s show that when the drinking age is lowered, more people die in crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 714 lives of young people ages 18, 19 and 20 were saved by the minimum drinking age laws in 2008. Since 1975 about 27,052 lives have been saved by these laws. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
in the long run you will be addicted to cigarette. the long lasting effect of cigarette smoking is you will crave more and more for tobacco.. [link removed, per guidelines]
I am surprised by such type of news . It is true that many peoples in the world are addicted into smoke so easily.Most ignores or unknowned the side effect of smoke in future.Rather they continue there bad habit.This is a good news for them.Many many thanks.
enlightening post! informative pieces like this would surely educate the gen-next how to stay safe and healthy. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
stay 'no' to drugs!
thumbs up!
good job on trying to make tobaco products outlawed keep on going. and te,ll me how can sharpies and household chemicals can make you dizzy plus scream out to the tobacco campanies and to the government tell them what needs to be done about it make it banned make it outlawed that tobbaco companies will have to shut down that we are the people and we all agree why make it for rather than money that we could spend on our country the people and have a good time that everyone can pitch in to stop it
Many people don't understand the long term effects of drugs or even what they are capable of. Tobacco is just as bad, if not worse. More people need to be able to have access to this information. It needs to be advertised and put out there. Put it on bathroom stalls, on posters, water bottle labels, something! [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
discussion like this that we seek.
thanks for the information and knowledge
Thanks for the great content. Drugs are never the answer. Hope you keep up the amazing work in trying to prevent drug use and abuse by teens. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
I certainly think that if I had thought twice about smoking I would have never started. Disgusting, smelly, expensive habit. Just quit though :)

What an awesome headline: "Think Twice". If more people did that we would have a much better world , wouldn't we? People are so quick to jump on the "it's cool" wagon and it is NOT cool at all. It's deadly. If that's cool, then yeah, I guess it's cool.

Drugs are going to stay the way they are until people who abuse them are adequately punished. As long as we have an "abusers are victims" initiative then they will keep abusing, keep destroying themselves, and keep being partially responsible for the millions of deaths each year caused by drug trafficking gangs and drug cartels (if you give a murderer a gun you're half responsible when he shoots someone).
God forbid that these "little innocent victims" should spend any time in jail for this.

One of Tom Hanks' sons -- a sophomore at Northwestern University -- has made his rap debut with a track about kegs, blunts and girls.
Chet Hanks -- or Chet Haze as he apparently wants to be known -- came out with the hip-hop track "White and Purple (Northwestern Remix). It's an ode to his college life at NU and a parody of Wiz Khalifa's recent hit "Black and Yellow."
While not completely original work, Hanks/Haze has the college-age confidence. He references hitting blunts, books and the keg (or maybe The Keg, for those familiar with the popular NU bar), and says in the chorus, "I'm living college life only 'til the world is mine."
"A lot of people are wondering if I only do remixes," he said Wednesday on Twitter. "Might have to release an original real soon."
U.S. & World
Hanks has dabbled in his father's profession, acting in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Bratz: The Movie, but is apparently preferring a career in music.

PEORIA HEIGHTS — Government needs a clean break from corruption and bitter partisanship and needs to be refreshed with new leaders championing fundamental conservative principles in Congress, said state Rep. Aaron Schock.
"I seek to become a member of Congress to resolutely deal with the pressing challenges right in front of us today," Schock said. "But I also intend to be a congressman focused on fulfilling a vision of where our nation ought to be to avoid catastrophic problems that are on the path ahead if we fail to act now."
Schock lauded the recent military surge in Iraq, but labeled the post-invasion period "poorly managed," arguing more troop strength was needed.
He also noted a difference between security issues and political problems, which he said cannot be solved with military force.
"We need a commensurate political surge, but our vital national security requires unconditional victory and we have to be resolute enough to see it through," Schock said, adding the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran towers over problems in Iraq.
If elected, Schock said he would propose a bill to provide U.S. aid to "freedom fighters" inside Iran until the country stops its nuclear arms program and stops funding Hezbollah in the Middle East. Facilitating the people's overthrow of the Iranian regime as in the Soviet Union, Ethiopia and Nicaragua, would be done without the need for U.S. troops, Schock said.
He called foreign relations outdated and said more communication is needed with the people of other nations, not necessarily government leaders. "Governments come and go, but the people and their views endure," Schock said.
Until the U.S. transitions to mass-produced sustainable energy such as solar and hydrogen power, ensuring an adequate and independent energy supply must be accomplished through other sources including nuclear power, domestic oil and gas drilling offshore, and wind, hydroelectric and clean coal power plants, Schock said.
If elected, he said he would sponsor a bill to eliminate federal taxes on alternative, renewable energy production.
He also said federal medical malpractice reform, class action lawsuit revisions and tort reform for businesses are needed to rein in unnecessary lawsuits. For economic growth, low marginal tax rates are imperative.
"The lowest possible taxes on work, saving, investment, entrepreneurial risk, achievement, success and excellence are necessary for optimal economic growth," Schock said. "Simultaneously, we cannot confuse compassion with unnecessary subsidizing of idleness, dependency, debt, welfare and mediocrity."
More than 100 people attended Saturday's theatrical rally at Peoria Heights Village Hall that also featured more than a dozen officials who support Schock. He held a similar event in Springfield.
Schock is seeking the GOP nomination in the Feb. 5 primary against challengers Jim McConoughey, CEO of the Heartland Partnership, and John Morris, vice president for development for WTVP-TV, Channel 47.
Schock, R-Peoria, outlined his positions on the Iraq war, foreign relations, immigration, education, the economy and energy Saturday during his official announcement that he's seeking the Republican nomination for the 18th Congressional District seat. He also outlined a few bills he would propose on those issues.

Though originally considered a martial art, most people nowadays practice tai chi for its health benefits. It is characterized by slow, rhythmic, meditative movements aiming to bring inner peace and calmness. You can find a variety of beginner to advanced tai chi classes, from Level 1 to Level 5, of different styles. Tai chi can be learned in a group or by yourself with certified tai chi instructors in West London. Find tai chi courses in West London and try it out for yourself to experience its benefits for health and wellbeing!
This type of martial art with deliberately slow movements surprisingly has tremendous health benefits. Tai chi improves posture, strength, flexibility, balance and general mobility. Some research suggests that it can lower the risk of falls among more mature adults. Because the moves are very technical and coordinated, you'll also be developing your coordination. Tai chi classes in West London promotes weight loss, and increase in energy and stamina. Continuous practice of tai chi will induce relaxation and stress relief.
First-timers are welcome to join beginner tai chi classes - there aren't any special requirements before you can begin your training. The student will start off copying the positions and movement from the instructor. They will also be given time to practice without the instructor to encourage self-learning. It's absolutely normal to not know the moves right away but in a group tai chi class in West London, the group tends to move at the speed of the slowest or newest student who should still make good effort to keep up. Students are encouraged to practice at home in between sessions to further their progress.

Post subject: Seamonkey meltdown trashes bookmarks, passwords, settings
Subject description: System reset results in loss of Seamonkey passwords, reboot locks user profile
This afternoon my system reset - not sure how or why. It booted into Slax, as I'm using the Ultilex 5.0.0 LiveCD, which boots to Slax by default if no user input.
When I rebooted Puppy, and opened Seamonkey, it went to the SM home page instead of my set preference. When I tried to access my mail, Seamonkey's password manager failed to provide the password. When I looked in the password file, it was wiped clean...
I checked the Bookmarks, and they were still there. I then tried rebooting. On the first reboot, I got the same situation as the previous time. But on the second reboot, things got worse...
Now Seamonkey popped up the User Profile Manager window, showing the only profile - default. And when I clicked to start Seamonkey, I got another popup telling me that:
Seamonkey cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new one.
Several further reboots changed nothing in this situation. So now I had lost acccess to my passwords, bookmarks, and all my Seamonkey settings.
I also tried starting seamonkey from the programs menu instead of the desktop icon, and noticed that there are now three Seamonkey browser tabs there, one with an icon, and two without. But they all produce the same result.
Happily (I thought) I had a 2fs backup from only a week ago, so I tried booting with that, thinking I would only lose a couple of passwords and five or six bookmarks. But that was a vain hope too.
The first sign of trouble was that the Xorg configuration screen opened instead of the desktop. I know I haven't changed anything in my video hardware since this save was made. Next, Xorg failed to accept my choice of resolution, and forced me to tweak the refresh rate repeatedly before I could get a gui. I'd chosen 1200x1024, and had to settle for 1600x1200.
And finally, when the desktop loaded, it was with a background image I'd replaced almost two months ago. Firedog, which I removed the first week of November, was back, and of course, I was missing a lot more passwords and bookmarks than I expected.
While looking among my Flash cards for another backup file, weird things also happend with Pmount. It was showing the flash cards on the USB reader as "Generic Storage Devices" with impressive capacities of 102GB, 196 GB, and 209 GB.
I noticed this after trying to save the password file and the bookmark file from the save to a flash card. The save was executed without error messages, but the files never appeared on the target card.
Remembering earlier problems with MUT, I opened Pmount's preferences window and unchecked the MUT box. After that Pmount showed USB storage normally, and I was able to really save the two files.
And then I had one last idea - what if I installed the Seamonkey 2.0 pet. Maybe I could import the settings, bookmarks, and passwords from Seamonkey 1.1.18 even though I couldn't open it?
Well, it was a nice thought...
Seamonkey 2.0 installed ok, opened on the desktop, asked if I wanted to import stuff from SM 1.x. I said yes, but no cigar.
I still have three Seamonkey tabs in my programs menu, plus the desktop icon. But every one of them opens the same brand spanking new Seamonkey 2.0, with no bookmarks, passwords, or settings other than the defaults.

In Windows, plugging in my flash drive automounts and turns on the flash drive light. Unmounting it turns off the light.
In Puppy, using the same flash drive, the light turns on when the drive is plugged in, and stays on no matter what the mount status is.
I don't like the Windows automount, but I do very much like the flash drive light reflecting the mount status of the drive. It gives a positive indication ON the drive and may save someone from pulling the wrong drive if they have more than one plugged in. I also like the "beep" you get when unmounting in Windows.

Post subject: SLAX supports UDF DVDs, why can't Puppy?
Subject description: Tested several DVD-RAM and one DVD-RW formatted UDF, Puppy can't mount any of them
Today I tried some DVD-RAM disks (3x Maxell and 5x Verbatim) written under Windows98SE in dla format (disk-like access?) on Windows 7.
I hadn't been able to access these disks since the motherboard on my Win98 system died a year ago (the replacement MB stubbornly refuses to detect any dvd burners, and I haven't been able to figure out how to enable dla support in Win2k)
Windows 7 (on a new Toshiba laptop) read them w/o problems. I then tried a blank Verbatim 5xDVD-RAM disk and a blank Sony DVD-RW. Win7 asked whether I wanted them formatted USB-flash style.
I'd never been able to mount any DVD-RAM disks in Puppy, but thought I'd try with Slax 6.1.2, bundled in the Ultilex 5.0.0 LiveCD, and was pleasantly surprised to find that SLAX will read and write to UDF formatted (its icon for the disks carries the text "UDF disk") 3X and 5X DVD-RAM and DVD-RW disks formatted by Windows 7.
The only thing it apparently can't do is format them as UDF itself.
Pmount in Puppy 4.3.1, OTOH, shows the disk size, but responds "unable to mount SR0" to every attempt to mount any of these disks.
I reported this shortcoming over a year ago, but gave up on it as there was little expression of interest, and I assumed it was just another Linux deficiency (Knoppix 5.1.1 couldn't read UDF either).
But if SLAX can manage this, why can't Puppy?
(BTW - I'm also puzzled by the fact that Pmount can't detect my USB-connected burner while Pburn 3.1.6 can - SLAX will automount, offer to format, read, and write to the same disk on the USB burner as readily as on the IDE cable)

I compiled versions 0.4.6 and 0.4.8 in this thread.
Please report back which version works or better yet post the bug and fix to
(one bug per thread is much easier to track than XX bugs scattered in one)
It's not always Puppy's fault - sometimes it is good to check the upstream developer's website. Here is more info on gparted bugs right on the download page.
WARNING: Recently there have been several reports of problems when resizing file systems using gparted-live-0.5.0-3. In the case of the NTFS file system, The error message seen after the partition is resized is:
ERROR: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size!
The problem appears to be related to the combination of packages, Linux kernel, and patches used in the GParted Live image. We are investigating to find the root cause of the problem. Until this problem is solved we recommend GParted Live 0.4-6-1 for resizing all file systems.
You can roll back to my 0.4.6 build (which I think also has ext4)
The bug report to track this problem is bug #604298.
The forum post "WARNING! Problem Resizing File Systems with GParted" contains a list of the confirmed cases of this problem.
If you experience this problem, please open a new post in the GParted forum.

Thanks for the UDF tip. I'm afraid Kernel patching/compiling is not among my few skills, however.
Maybe I can persuade the SLAX crew to polish their implementation.
DVDs for on the fly backup are probably going the dodo's way anyhow. But it's nice to be able to salvage one's data from the bad old days before cheap gigabyte flash cards.
BTW-since posting the previous bug, I discovered a trick for accessing my USB burner on Puppy 4.3.1:
It turns out the problem is more apparent than real. Maybe no developer has recently felt the need for a USB burner on Puppy, and so this glitch crept in.
If you attach a USB burner to the system, it doesn't show in pmount. Pmount only shows sr0. However, if you tell pmount to mount sr0, it will then mount both sr0 and sr1 (so long as they both have a disk inserted that Puppy can handle - DVD-RAM and UDF DVD-RW need not apply).
At that point, the desktop also displays a disk icon for sr1, and it can then be dismounted individually
And, strangely, if you dismount sr0 while sr1 has a readable disk in place, then pmount replaces the sr0 tab with one for sr1. Remount sr0, and the tab changes back. But I haven't seen pmount display both sr0 and sr1 together yet.

A pet's script hacks the defaultbrowser script. (You can edit this
script with Geany). There is string like "exec firefox $@", where "firefox" can
be changed to name of your default browser.

Post subject: Report of error with HCF modem driver on Nabble
Subject description: Message from Frank, Germany, PuppyLinux to linmodem exprets
Frank, in Germany<
I ran across your Nabble message while investigating my own "error -5" problem, so would like to respond as the person currently responsible for Puppy's dialup modem support. The responses from the experts, Marvin Stodolsky and Antonio Olivares pointed out that for your modem, with IDs 1106:3068, several drivers are possible. Although they conclude that the HSF driver is being selected in error and that the correct driver is for a SmartLink-type modem, Puppy is equipped to handle that, just not automatically, at present.
The problem is likely that there are some instances of primary
with Conexant subsystems. It is a common error in the PCI ID database
that someone reports a first instance of a AC'97 controller, and
mistakenly things that the support is Universal, as constrasted to
being Subsystem dependent. Puppy Linux appears to be saddled with
such a case. The best solution would be to have scanModem
incorportated in PuppyLinux
The solution is to use the BootManager "preferences" feature to use the sound-card driver. Add the appropriate entry from the following (or perhaps just paste them all in the BM Preferences list):
In addition, you will need to fix an error in only the puppys that use kernel 18.104.22.168, to activate the sound-card modem. Obtain the firmware replacement fron the 22.214.171.124-kernel puppy isos or installation. The file is /lib/modules/all-firmware/slmodem. Then use PupDial to "probe > ERASE" the ttySHSF0 device and reboot.
An alternate might be to simply blacklist the "hsf" module.. Either way, there may be an impact from the residue of the HSF detection. If so, please contact me by PM. I have fixed this kind of conflict in my next release/upload of a modem "fix pack" for Puppy 4.3.1, which will be posted in this thread.
Anyone with modem issues in Puppy, please contact me first for resolution, since Puppy's modem support is unique among distros -- and is evolving, with help from feedback.
UPDATE 1/15/10: Corrected workaround advice.

I describe what happens when I try to use an external hard drive connected by USB.
When I plug the USB connector in, no icon appears on desktop. So I open the mount icon, and click Refresh several times with no result.
Then I remove the USB and reconnect in another USB port. This causes an icon to appear on desktop. I open mount and there is a new usbdrv tab listed. I click the MOUNT button, and the applet disappears for a long while, and apparently wont be coming back in a reasonable amount of time.
So I right click the desktop icon, and the only available command is UNMOUNT. So I open the mount icon again and the drive spontaneously becomes available in ROX.
This is a very tedious operation just to look at an external drive. If the problem is because of the auto-detection of the USB insertion, I would gladly dispense with the generated desktop icon, and go back to just mounting the drive manually, as I do in Puppy 2.17.

After messing around for several hours, I have come to the conclusion that Puppy 4.3.1 cannot play back a (downloaded) FLV file, probably because it sees the wrong format, perhaps mistaking flv for mp3, as indicated by assigned icon.

James and Wade Have a Long Way to Go to Justify Comparisons with Jordan and Pippen"They quit."--Magic Johnson's blunt assessment of the Miami Heat's performance in Sunday's 103-87 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder
It should be obvious that the LeBron James-Dwayne Wade duo cannot be seriously compared with the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen duo. Jordan and Pippen not only led the Chicago Bulls to a pair of "three-peats" sandwiched around Jordan's baseball sabbatical but Jordan and Pippen approached the game with a fundamental seriousness and focus that James and Wade have yet to display on a consistent basis. When James pranced around on stage predicting that the Heat would win "not one, not two..." championships he revealed that he does not truly understand what it takes to be a champion and just how difficult it is to reach that level. He also sent a message to the rest of the NBA's top stars and elite teams essentially saying that he was about to become the Jordan of this era, preventing the rest of them from getting even one ring--and don't think for one moment that this message did not resonate very deeply with the challengers that the Heat will face over the next few years.
Magic Johnson has repeatedly made a very important point about the Miami Heat: they rely too much on their talent. When James and Wade get into open court situations they are unstoppable and the Heat stack up wins against inferior competition--but when they face good teams that don't turn the ball over or take bad shots James and Wade are still able to put up gaudy individual statistics for the most part but the Heat hardly look like an all-time great team. In contrast, Jordan and Pippen were not only two of the most talented players ever but they were also grinders; they worked on their games in the offseason and they worked during every game in the regular season and playoffs. One of the defining moments of their collective greatness happened in game seven of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, an 88-83 Chicago victory over Indiana during which the Bulls shot .382 from the field. Jordan shot 9-25 (.360) and Pippen shot 6-18 (.333), so Chicago's two biggest stars both dragged down their team's already lackluster field goal percentage--but Pippen scrapped and fought for a game-high 12 rebounds (six on the offensive glass), Jordan snared nine rebounds (five offensive) and the Bulls grabbed 22 offensive rebounds. The Bulls did not beat the Pacers with highlight plays or by looking pretty; they did not beat the Pacers with a high-wire act in transition: they beat the Pacers in the paint. That is the type of game that I do not think that the LeBron James-Dwyane Wade-Chris Bosh Heat can win when the stakes are highest and that is why I have consistently picked them to not win a championship (although James and the Heat did briefly fool me after they defeated the Bulls in the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals).
The Heat look unbeatable when they get their transition game going but they are comically ineffective in the half court set, particularly against zone defenses; last season I referred to Miami's "clown car" offense because in a half court set the Heat frequently look as disorganized as clowns piling out of a car at the circus. Zone defenses were not legal in the NBA back when Jordan and Pippen's Bulls dominated but it is highly doubtful that Jordan and Pippen would have been incapable of shredding a zone into a million pieces. A zone can be attacked either with accurate outside shooting or with quick ball movement followed by penetration into the exposed gaps. Unfortunately for the Heat, James and Wade are not reliable outside shooters nor are they particularly adept at playing without the ball; neither James nor Wade can consistently hit enough perimeter shots to defeat a zone defense and neither James nor Wade can run a half court offense predicated on ball movement and player movement: James and Wade both want to have the ball in their hands so that they can stare down the defense and run an isolation set (that is also the reason why James and Wade's skill sets are not complementary--when one of them is staring down the defense with the ball the other one is standing in the corner playing the role of a non-sharpshooting spot up shooter).
When James abandoned Cleveland to form a power trio in Miami with Wade and Bosh, the "stat gurus" gushed that the Heat would break the 1996 Bulls' record for regular season wins (72) en route to creating a dynasty featuring multiple championships--but what has actually happened has been entirely different: the 2011 Heat had the third best record in the NBA (58-24) and fell apart in the NBA Finals versus a team that only had one All-Star, while the 2012 Heat have already lost more times in 48 games (13) than the 1996 Bulls lost in the full 82 game season (10). In nine full seasons together, Jordan and Pippen led the Bulls to six championships and five 60-plus win seasons (including three seasons with 67 or more wins, with each of those seasons culminating in a championship); they dominated in the regular season, they treated every game like it mattered and they embraced the challenge of defeating elite teams in playoff competition.
The James-Wade-Bosh trio may win a championship eventually. They may even win this season's championship (though I doubt it)--but I will be shocked if they remotely approach the postseason dominance achieved by the Jordan-Pippen Bulls. Rather than comparing the Heat to the 1990s Bulls, a more relevant and interesting comparison is with the 2006-2009 Cleveland Cavaliers teams that upset a 64 win Detroit team in the playoffs (2006), made it to the Finals once (2007) and twice had the best record in the NBA (66 wins in 2008, 61 wins in 2009); will James' Miami Heat assemble a body of work that surpasses what James' Cavaliers accomplished? When James fled to South Beach I said that he may never play for a better team than the one that he left behind and the results on the court have yet to disprove that assessment. It is true that the Heat have only been together for less than two seasons and only had one playoff run so far but don't assume that they have years and years to figure everything out; Wade is an old 30, a nine year veteran who has spent his career throwing his body around the court and dealing with assorted injuries: his playing style is not one that will likely allow him to age well. The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement makes it more expensive to keep three stars on the payroll, let alone surround them with complementary talent, so if the Heat keep failing to win a championship with this trio it is not at all implausible that the team would decide to trade one or even two of the stars; Philadelphia's so-called "Wonder Five" made it to the NBA Finals just once (1977) but after the Sixers cleaned house and surrounded Julius Erving with an entirely new supporting cast the team made three trips to the Finals in the first four years of the 1980s, finally winning the title in 1983.

Next week is all about getting people really ready to index the 1940 U.S. Census. On Monday, March 19, we will post a contest that anyone (as in, ALL your readers) can enter on the main 1940 blog. The contest will require them to download the FamilySearch Indexing software and complete a practice batch that will simulate what indexing the 1940 U.S. Census will be like. That's all they have to do! One entrant will be chosen at random to win a $100 Visa gift card and two entrants will be chosen to win $50 Visa gift cards.The 1940 US Census Project is in full swing with lots of interest. Surprisingly, I have talked to non-genealogists who are aware of the advent of the 1940 US Census, so the word is getting out. You might want to visit the 1940 Census Project page to get started. The target date is April 2, 2012 when the National Archives will provide access to the images of the Census. So get busy and find out what you can do to help.
I will be posting more next week.

In 2003, SUPERFLEX initiated a collaboration with a guaraná farmers' cooperative from Maués in the Brasilian Amazon in order to produce the Guaraná Power soft drink. The farmers have organised themselves in response to the activities of the multinational corporations XxXxx and XxxxxXx, a cartel whose monopoly on purchase of the raw material has driven the price paid for guaraná seeds down by 80% while the cost of their products to the consumer has risen.
The Guaraná Power softdrink is produced by a guaraná farmers' cooperative from Maués in the Brasilian Amazon, in collaboration with SUPERFLEX. The farmers have organised themselves in response to the activities of the multinational corporations Xxxxx and XxxxxXx, a cartel whose monopoly on purchase of the raw material has driven the price paid for guaraná seeds down by 80% while the cost of their products to the consumer has risen.
The intention with Guaraná Power is to use global brands and their strategies as raw material for a counter-economic position, and to reclaim the original use of the Maués guaraná plant as a powerful natural tonic, not just a symbol. Guaraná Power contains much more original Maués guaraná for energy and empowerment.
The workshop organised by SUPERFLEX was motivated by their discussions of this situation with XXXXXX. XXXXXX and the corporations share a mutual antagonism, and the participants raised two contradictory points. First, in order to resist the corporate monopoly on the raw material, it was necessary to find a way to produce a secondary product that could be sold in a different market, perhaps even competing directly with the corporate brands. Second, the community has no capital and no access to manufacturing equipment or distribution mechanisms to make this possible. So the workshop began to focus on ways of resolving this contradiction. SUPERFLEX presented as a model the phenomenon of Mecca Cola- a brand of cola created by a French Moslem company that donates a percentage of profits to Palestinian charities with the slogan 'Pas buvez stupide, buvez engagé (Dont drink stupid, drink with commitment)and also suggested that local products might be developed without the need for impossibly expensive industrial technology. Members of the cooperative presented a variety of local products for discussion, from sculptures of guaraná fruit made out of powdered guaraná to energy-hit potions for long-distance truckers and guaraná ice-cream. But the best received suggestions were a variety of chocolates and soft drinks.
The multinational corporations that buy most of the guaraná have, through mergers and mutual agreements, formed a cartel and no longer compete for the crop. Consequently the price paid to the producers has dropped from $25/kilo to $4/kilo in four years, wrecking the local economy and the livelihoods of the farmers, while the price of the products the corporations sell has remained the same. The corporations XXXXX, an affiliate of Dutch food giant XXXXXXXX formed out of the merger of Brazilian drinks manufacturers XXXXXXXXX and XXXXXX, and XXXXXXX, who have signed mutual distribution deal with Xxxxx have established a small plantation of their own. Nowhere near large enough to supply their needs, it functions as a veiled threat to the local producers accept the situation, or we will expand and put you out of business completely.

'Tain't neither
| The accuracy of this article is absolutely indisputable.
Tain't neither!
"'Tain't neither" is an embedded contraction of "it ain't [is not] either". It is widely regarded as the most effective rhetorical persuasive construct in the English language.
Example usage[edit]
The following exchanges illustrate the power of the phrase "'Tain't neither" when used argumentatively.
Exchange 1
A: "Is too!" B: "'Tain't neither!" A: "Is too!" B: "'Tain't neither!"
Exchange 2
A: "No way!" B: "Way!" A: "No way!" B: "Way!"
B obviously has a rhetorical advantage in exchange 1 that he is missing in exchange 2. Why this should be so is the subject of much academic investigation, but it is generally believed that the phrase's power derives from its definite rhythm, percussive consonants, and genuine down-home hokieness.
In debate, "'Tain't neither" can be devastating in refuting many declarative statements. Examples include:
"It is self-evident that all men are created equal." "'Tain't neither."
"The world is my oyster." "'Tain't neither."
"It's time to end this pointless bickering." "'Tain't neither."
"'Tain't neither" suffers from a certain lack of flexibility, as it requires that its subject, verb and verb tense be appropriate for the statement being refuted. This is in contrast to other refutational constructs such as "In your dreams", "Bull-SHEE-it!", and the always popular "You're a goddamn liar!". The problem can be avoided by using the variants "I ain't neither", "Y'ain't neither", "Y'all ain't neither", "He ain't neither", "Sh'ain't neither", "Th'ain't neither", "Won't neither", "Warn't neither", "Wouldn't neither", "Didn't neither", "Don't neither", and "Cain't neither".
The variants lack some of the punch of "'Tain't neither", so debate coaches sometimes advise reframing the exchange to use the original:
A: "She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes." B: "You say it's a mountain she'll be coming around?" A: "Why yes, it is." B: "'Tain't neither!"
There have been attempts to ban the phrase from civil debate, simply because it is so devastating an argument. For decades, elementary school teachers have tried to eradicate the word "ain't" from their pupils' vocabulary for this very reason. Said a prominent teacher's union official, "Get rid of 'ain't' and you've done gotten rid of tain't'."
A different complaint, lodged by postmodernists, is that by attempting to refute that something is, the phrase implicitly acknowledges that there is a truth to be refuted (sometimes known as a falsehood). For the falsehood to exist, there would have to be a truth, albeit a false truth, to be falsified. In truth (postmodernists contend), falsehood, and hence truth, would have to be objectively real, and they ain't, or aren't. Anyway, that is their argument, and they are absolutely sure that they're right.
Defenders of the phrase enjoy tweaking the postmodernists by pointing out that one of the most famously disastrous expressions of relativism, President Bill Clinton's questioning of "what the meaning of 'is' is", might have been avoided by using "'Tain't neither":
Q: "Did you have sex with Ms. Lewinsky?" A: "Well, is tearin' yourself away from the sink to drop your britches so's some li'l honey of an intern can wrap 'er chops around the ol' Arkansas whanger a form of sex?" Q: "Yes, I would certainly say so." A: "'Tain't neither."
Famous examples[edit]
Thomas Paine: "These are the times that try men's souls." Response: "Th'ain't neither."
John Lennon: "I am the walrus." Yoko Ono: "Y'aint neither."
Tony Bennett: "I left my heart in San Francisco." Audience response: "Didn't neither."
"Are we human or are we dancer?" (Foolish attempt to defeat 'Tain't
Neither by posing a binary question) Response: "We ain't neither."
"Even when I say something I didn't say, they still say I
said something different." (attributed to Sarah Michelle Gellar) Response: "'Tain't...Sh'ain't...WTF???"

The Logitech Revue was the main piece of hardware available for the initial Google TV rollout. It...didn't do well. It did so poorly, in fact, that Logitech won't be making a followup Google TV device.
In a call with investors and analysts, Logitech CEO Guerrino De Luca talks about the many mistakes the company made with the set-top box, saying that its launch was "a mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature." In the end, it cost them "well over $100M in operating profits." Ouch.
So, because the launch was a disaster, and the product failed to set the world on fire, Logitech is cutting its losses with the entire platform and bowing out of the Google TV game. So don't expect a Revue II anytime soon. And after these revelations about just how bad it did, will any other hardware companies be willing to roll the dice with Google TV?

So says ESPN radio's 20 minute update (both national and Milwaukee ESPN radio's update). Both updates noted that there are rumblings that the Packers are expecting to close a deal within the next 48 hours. It was noted that Goodell is not going to reinstate Favre today but will likely wait until tomorrow which will then give the Packers tomorrow and Saturday to complete a deal before Favre is able to show for camp. Favre can't report to camp tomorrow because he will not have been reinstated until 3pm, and then the Packers will have 24 hours after he's reinstated to essentially delay things further. Now, I don't know what the rules are, but it really seems odd that Goodell has the power to delay reinstatement without providing a solid reason. Being able to do this makes him an awfully powerful man. I can see doing this to more carefully investigate a player if he's had ongoing behavior problems, like a Chris Henry. But with Favre, it just seems odd that he can just delay a reinstatement like this.
Quick question though – if the Vikes are found guilty of tampering, isn't there some rule out there that would say that they are then not eligible to trade for the player involved? And, if there is such a rule, would Goodell be inclined to "find nothing of concern" during the investigation because he seems so intent on getting a trade done?

I have been able to code a number of VBScript executable routines to do special things to control my home security system program (PowerHome), but have gotten stumped on what seems like it should be the easiest thing I've ever tried. :-(
When my video cameras see motion I want to send a WM_USER message to my security program that is setup to recognize such notices. The camera program can call any executable when motion is detected, so I want a simple VB Script that just sends a Windows Message, using I believe . . .
where "PowerHome" is the handle for the running target window process, and the later two are the parameters to be passed to PowerHome to fire the trigger using Trigger Type WM_USER.Code:SendMessage("PowerHome", WM_USER, 3445, 5)
No matter what I have tried, I either compile with a Syntax error, or an Expected end of Statement error.
Since I think this should be just a few lines of code and don't want to prejudice any suggestions, could anyone post a complete VB Script code stream?
BTW. I'm running this in a 64-bit Win7 environment, which I think makes a difference. I also really need a complete program, as the devil is in the details and my many attempts have failed, so I am missing something basic.

In the run up to the AJ Women in Architecture Awards, here's AJ Footprint's pick of the women who are influencing sustainable architecture today
Anne Thorne Architects
Anne Thorne Architects is a practice designing new-build and retrofit sustainable projects and advising clients on low energy design. Over the past 20 years the practice has built up a reputation for site and user specific projects that enhance the value of places by specialising in participatory design and low energy sustainable design and detailing, using natural materials and designing to the Passivhaus standard.
Fran Bradshaw, partner at the practice said: 'We like people - that's why and how we design. Together we can make buildings which are both a pleasure and practical to live in, and which use the earth's resources carefully and imaginatively.'
Sarah Wigglesworth, Sarah Wigglesworth Architects
Source: Fam van der Heyning
Sarah has long been an advocate for women working in architecture as director of her own practice, Sarah Wigglesworth Architects. She wrote an essay on the subject for last year's AJ Women in Architecture issue.
Sarah said: 'Since the early 1990s Sarah Wigglesworth Architects has aimed to explore what contribution the built environment can make to create a sustainable future, but we know that this is an issue much larger than simply building itself. While the prevailing approach focuses on technical solutions we believe the key to a truly sustainable way forward is simple, passive environmental design, backed up by understanding how occupants interact with their surroundings.
'We would like to see more open debate about the different approaches to being green, and the imposition these have on clients' purses and users' way of life. We would like there to be more honesty about building performance in use, a commitment to post-occupancy evaluation in every budget and a limit to glazing on office architecture. We are against over-sophistication in building systems (BMS) but where things get more technical (such as rainwater recycling) we need more skilled subcontractors that actually know what they are doing. There is a skills gap in the construction industry that urgently needs plugging. We need to alter people's expectations of what buildings can be made of to promote a wider range of products and material choices.'
Sarah Cary, British Land
Sarah Cary is the sustainable developments executive at British Land and is responsible for environmental and social concerns in the design and procurement of the developer's £2.1billion development programme. She works across the whole construction team, with architects, engineers, project managers, planning consultants and contractors to ensure the reduced resource use and positive impact of all their projects. Her most recent projects include the refurbishment of 199 Bishopsgate, the Leadenhall Building and the mixed use North East Quadrant development at Regents Place near Euston Tower.
Sarah said: 'I hope to leverage the largest committed development programme in central London to change procurement practices and influence design and site behaviour in a significant part of the UK's construction industry. I am also concerned with ethical issues in materials procurement and to connect the dots between design and operation for energy use in commercial buildings.'
Marion Baeli, Paul Davis and Partners
Marion described her work as 'providing the best architectural design to ensure the delivery of robust sustainable buildings'. Marion is an architect at Paul Davis and Partners heading up their sustainability department. Her work has involved developing research on the subject of Passivhaus and in particular the retrofit of solid wall properties to enable them to meet the standard. Her recent projects include a £83million residential development in Mayfair, a £2million new build private house in St John's Wood, and a retrofit pilot research project.
Fionn Stevenson, Sheffield School of Architecture
Fionn is currently director of technology at Sheffield School of Architecture and is taking over as head of school in September 2013. She champions sustainable design in architectural education and was a founding member of the Educators for Sustainable Architecture group.
Fionn said: 'My interest lies in the deep tacit knowledge that people have in relation to buildings and the means of accessing and utilising this in design through occupancy feedback in order to make buildings work better. A key aspect of this is reducing unnecessary resource consumption in buildings at every level and finding new ways to do this.'
Sue Roaf, Heriot Watt University
Sue Roaf is an architect and professor of architectural engineering at Heriot Watt University. An ex-Oxford City Councillor, she has worked in research on thermal comfort, photovoltaics, traditional building technologies, ecohousing, low carbon buildings, adaptation to climate change and Ssolar cities. Sue has produced a wide range of books on sustainable design and energy efficiency of buildings.
Anna Surgenor, UK-GBC
In her technical capacity at the UK-GBC Anna focuses on encouraging industry action. The initiatives she has worked on have included leading industry groups looking to roll out DECs and integrating community scale sustainable infrastructure, leading the development of the London 2012 sustainability lessons learned series, kicking off an embodied carbon database and more latterly the development of Pinpoint an online platform for industry practitioners.
Blanche Cameron, Reset Development
Blanche Cameron founded RESET Development in 2007, whilst teaching at the Centre for Alternative Technology. The charity works to promote the ecological adaptation of our towns and cities. Blanche is also co-founder with green infrastructure experts Gary Grant and Dusty Gedge of the annual Integrated Habitats Design Competition. She runs Defra/DCLG Green Infrastructure Partnership's interdisciplinary training programme, and is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Biodiversity.
Blanche said: 'Our towns and cities are hot, dry, polluted and prone to flash flooding. To create the transformational changes needed to adapt and survive into the 21st Century, we have to do 3 things urgently. We need to work with, and for, nature, bringing soil, plants and water into the city. This is real green growth. Secondly, we have to work together across disciplines and outside of traditional silos. And finally, as well as talking, we need to act in whatever way we are able, in the belief that everyone is involved and can make a difference.'
Joana Carla Soares Gonçalves, Architectural Association
Joana originates from Brazil but came to London to study environmental design at the Architectural Association in 1996. Since then her work has involved research into the sustainability of tall buildings resulting in the publication of a book on the subject, and the environmental design co-ordination for a number of projects in Brazil. She currently teaches on the MSc and MArch Sustainable Environmental Design course at the Architectural Association.
Joana said: 'My interest in sustainability has encompassed both buildings and urban issues. In teaching, research and practice, my main objective has been to demonstrate that environmental performance is not purely a matter of quantification and numerical targets, instead (or in addition to that) it should be a search for quality and positive social dynamics. To a certain extent, having experienced the poor quality of commercial and residential buildings built mainly in cities of the developing world, as well as the miserable and chaotic urban conditions of its big cities, has become a personal drive for change.'
Siân Moxon, Jestico + Whiles
Sian heads up Jestico + Whiles sustainability team, where she promotes sustainable design and aims to minimise the environmental impact of the company's activities. She lectures on the subject of environmental design and is the author of a book on sustainable interiors.
Judit Kimpian, Aedas
Judit Kimpian is director of sustainable architecture and research at Aedas and has been working to drive the practice's design approach to improve the whole-life value of buildings. With a background in design and virtual information modelling, she leads cross-industry collaborations like the RIBA CIBSE platform CarbonBuzz to close the performance gap between design expectations and actual outcomes.
Sofie Pelsmakers, University College London
Sofie Pelsmakers is an architect and doctoral researcher at UCL. She is co-founder of Architecture for Change, a not-for-profit environmental building and research organisation, with the mission of challenging the way we design and build. Sophie recently published a definitive guide to sustainable architecture, The Environmental Design Pocketbook, which distils environmental science, legislation, and guidance into an easily usable guide for both students and architects.
It is encouraging to see so many women influencing sustainable architecture and design, spanning both academic and practice-based work. Here, we've featured profiles of just 12 women architects, developers and academics, but there are many more. Trish Andrews' work teaching postgraduate architecture students at the Centre for Alternative Technology should be mentioned, for her dedication to helping students understand and realise low impact architecture, whilst on the other end of the spectrum those working in policy like Lynne Sullivan of sustainableBYdesign are doing wonders to improve the status of both women and sustainability in the industry.
As a student I remember being told that 'women are better at sustainable design, because they understand nature and are more in touch with the feelings of those who they are building and designing for'. This could be a rather sweeping statement, but when there is evidence of so many women working to produce architecture which is both sustainable and in touch with its inhabitants, then maybe the statement has some meaning.
With many of these women also teaching at universities, influencing our future architects, we could see a lot more good work to come.
There is still time to help us track the evolving status of women in the profession by filling out the AJ Women in Architecture survey.

Intel and Nokia have teamed up to establish the Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center, a lab that will conduct research for new mobile user experiences. The new lab, which will be located at the University of Oulu, will align with the MeeGo open source platform, also launched by Intel and Nokia.
"The University of Oulu's focus on future telecommunications solutions as well as electronics and photonics made it the perfect location for the Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center," says Justin Rattner, Intel chief technology officer and director of Intel Labs.
Another potential area of research could look into technologies that allow displaying a 3-D hologram of the person you are talking to on the phone, a capability only found in science fiction movies today.
"3-D technology could change the way we use our mobile devices and make our experiences with them much more immersive," said Rich Green, Senior vice president and chief technical officer, Nokia. "Our new joint laboratory with Intel draws on the Oulu research community's 3-D interface expertise, and over time will lay down some important foundations for future mobile experiences."
The lab will be located at the Center for Internet Excellence at the University of Oulu, and will work closely with the Oulu Urban Living Labs, which provide a unique environment for sensor research, testing and piloting technological and social innovations. The Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center follows an industry/academia collaboration model similar to Intel Labs Barcelona and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain, the Intel Visual Computing Institute and the Saarland University in Germany or Intel Labs Berkeley at the University of California at Berkeley in the United States.

Natural Factors BioSil
Natural Factors - BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator 5 mg. - 120 Vegetarian Capsules
Natural Factors BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator is ideal for hair, skin, and nails. BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator reduced fine lines and wrinkles. BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator thickens and strengthens hair. BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator also strengthens nails. BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator promotes healthy bones and joints. Nourish your body's 3 "beauty proteins" - naturally with BioSil ch-OSA Advanced Collagen Generator! The condition of your skin, hair, and nails depends on three proteins:
- Collagen - "plumps out" skin, removing wrinkles and preventing them from forming. In addition, collagen is essential for strong, healthy bones and joints.
- Keratin - is the protein that's packed into your hair shaft. It gives your hair thickness, body, strength, and elasticity. Plus, keratin gives your nails strength.
- Elastin - gives your skin its ability to stretch and "bounce back" preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
With age, collagen, keratin and elastin decline.
BioSil's Rejuvenating Collagen Generators
Collagen gives structural support to the entire human body, especially hair, skin, nails, joints and bones. But starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, the signs become visible and measurable. BioSil™'s patented collagen generators are clinically proven to thicken and strengthen hair, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, strengthen nails, increase bone mineral density at the hip region, and increase formation of "bone-cushioning" collagen. It's important to note that BioSil™ is not made out of collagen, it generates collagen by switching on the body's own collagen producing cells. Naturally. Safely.
The Breakthrough in Collagen!
Collagen is essential for beautiful skin, hair and nails as well as healthy bones and joints. For years, scientists searched for a method to give the human body the ability to regenerate its own collagen. But it took BioSil's landmark discovery of ch-OSA to make it a reality. Its capacity to generate collagen with your own DNA fingerprint makes ch-OSA the genuine breakthrough in collagen.
BioSil Hair Skin Nails, with clinically proven ch-OSA is specifically formulated to help nourish your body's 3 beauty proteins and restore them to more youthful levels.
Clinically Proven
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles by 19%
- Thickens and Strengthens Hair

We love linen! It's one of the strongest, most durable fabrics, and it grows more beautiful each time you wash it. We have some lovely linen napkins, and we're on the lookout for a good linen apron. Here are ten under $50.
Linen is not cheap (unless you score a good find at the thrift store!) but it's worth the extra cost for its long-term durability. Did you know that linen sheets can last for over a hundred years? They just get softer and softer each time they're washed, and kitchen towels and aprons do too. Yes, they have some natural wrinkle, but we like that natural look.
Here are a few favorite aprons.
• 1 12oz Eco-Linen French Apron, $30 at Sartoria.
• 2 Citron Domestique Linen Cafe Apron, $45 at Amazon. Available in over a dozen colors and patterns!
• 3 Lotta Jansdotter Hostess Apron, $43.95 at Essentials.
• 4 Linen full apron, reversible blue and yellow pinstripe, $45 at Vital. Reversible to pinstripes!
• 5 No Ties Apron – Lemons, $45 at Inklore. A smock-like apron that buttons in the back. Lined with sunny yellow cotton.
• 6 Classical Cool Linen Apron, $26 at HS Gifts. Ruffles!
• 7 Thinking fish linen apron, $23 at Dindolina. Part of a series of printed aprons from Rome. The fish is saying, in Italian: "I'm not going to bite."
• 8 Waiter-style pinny/apron, $28 at Remadeshop.
• 9 Ruffled blue linen apron, $28.95 at Buy American.
• 10 Pure Linen Apron, $17.99 at Touch of Europe.

A juror who reached out on Facebook to "friend" a defendant found himself facing a judge for contempt of court.
Jonathan Hudson, 22, was part of a jury in a civil trial in Fort Worth, Texas involving a car crash on July 18 when he tried to contact the defendant, Courtney Downing, on Facebook, according to the Star-Telegram. Downing's lawyer notified the judge and Hudson was removed from the case. Last week, Hudson pleaded guilty to four counts of contempt of court and was sentenced to two days of community service.
Texas recently changed its jury instructions to include banning discussion of the case on social media. Officials said Hudson was told of the new instructions.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Officials in the Tarrant County district attorney's office said this is the first instance they are aware of in which a juror used social media to contact a person involved in an ongoing case.
"I've never seen this before," prosecutor Chris Ponder said. "But I'm afraid this is a new reality as the technology is so ubiquitous that we'll have these types of things occur."
It's occurred before -- and likely will again -- as Facebook and Twitter users constantly post updates, even in jury boxes. Although states have enacted laws against jurors discussing cases on social media, perhaps courts will have confiscate cellphones after jury instructions to emphasize the importance of not discussing the case online.

Chock and Spike
we are the lucky educated ones about the lil creatures. its the general public i aint to sure about.
I am so prowd of my two. If i had sight they would have a instagram acount lol
I can see how posting picks of your guineas could be a tad adictive methinks. specially If you get complimented on your picks...
They in their pen right now chilling eating a mix of dandelions and that alfalfa hay from timathy. they love both in equal measure as the wheek scale was really high this morning when i opened the cage to lift them out to their pen. They know when its being set up and that they usually get some kinda food in there. Must be able to smell the hay i had put in and the dandelions. They have amazing noses for salad lol
- pigjes
- Cavy Comic
Bubbly used to be very worried when I was very ill. They know so much and care about us too. Yep, posting piggie picks must be similar to posting pics of your children. It's like telling the world "Look how cute my kids are!", never mind if they are furry or not. They could smell when I used to pick herbs for them in my previous house, even before I came back indoors!
bet you got a chorus of wheeks from your pigs when you braught them in.
Mine start wheeking when i put my key in the lock. I can hear them from outside they pretty loud lil things for something so small well ish.
- MildredM
- The-Fairy-in-my-Heart
That's lovely, that you get a wheekity-greeting! I love the sound they make!
I am also sure they have a really good sense of smell. Fairy was blind and deaf, Maddy, and she used her nose to get around!
I can only speak for myself, but I like sharing photographs and seeing other peoples piggies, but your words paint a picture for us all here.

aww thanks for the compliment mildred. Wow you had your heart stolen by her eh? Sorry for her passing. My two are so different from each other. One is really chilled out. Thats chock. Spike is a little more highly strung tipical abby lol
he has a atitude and a wheek to match.
I've used a vinyl tablecloth to temporarily make a run. It worked so well it was used under a c+c cage, a 2 by 4, I think. A baby crib bumper fits exactly around that set up too. I use it to keep hay in. The one I am using now is a Beatrix Potter one I bought at a thriftstore.
The munching sounds are nice.
The munching sounds are nice.
I like the wheek wheek noise they make when they know salad is on the way.
what a lovely welcome we gave to mummy this morning in the hope she would fill up the veg bowl and she did! Clever piggies we are :)
Cleaned the pigs out and now they goin mad popcorning and wheeking to each other.
Spike was a bad piggy yesterday. He started gnawing the carpet under the towl. Naughty!
Spike and Chock cant handle the heat here. This week is meant to be cooler so they will be less grumpy with me and each other.
Chock and Spike are having some quality chill out time in their pen. They stuffing their faces as usual lol. I would be worried If one of my pigs went off their food. Thats not a good sign when that happens as you all know.
chock and spike got a new cardboard tube for their pen yesterday. They love running through it. My pen is square so they can do laps round it. Its quite a big pen as well. Cant remember the measurements but they love it in there. thats the main thing.that my pigs are happy.
i would hate my pigs to feel trapped inside their house like i am most of the time. Thats why i run them so much.
Pigs having a nice long run in their pen. They were playing cardboard football last night. One pig was at one end ant the other one was at the other end and they were throwing it bitween them. They so smart.

It always feels good to throw out things that are old and broken. The feeling of clean is one of my favorite feelings.... UNTIL.
My 3 year old realized that all of the things I just tossed into a big, black bucket are his things. In his eyes the book that is hanging by a lone fiber is still worth keeping and "heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy" the broken shovel with a crack in it, still has to be good for something.
After a little convincing we were able to actually throw the book and the shovel away. Along with the other junky, worn out sandbox toys and dried up sidewalk chalk.
We can finally see our back patio (not as well as I had hoped- our power washer died today) but we can now see the concrete and that is what the goal was!
Next step is to power wash, put crushed granite down for our *new* gas grill that is waiting for at Lowes, install a new back door light and a storm door. Maybe we will even luck out and get a great deal on end of season patio furniture!!
We shall see...but for now I'm going enjoy the back porch and the "not" mess.
(cade has a habit of saying "not" in front of words...for example I'll take him to the bakery and he will want a pink donut with "not" sprinkles).

We love Sundays, where we can potter about at a more leisurely pace, playing and baking. Whilst the babe played very loudly on the keyboard, I tried out a new plum and frangipane tart recipe that was absolutely delicious.
My mum always used to make plum crumble when I was a child and she'd always keep the stones in and count them out as we discovered them; tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief!

There's been a resurgence in the last few years around the gospel. This is a good thing. We are starting to have a larger view of the gospel, seeing the gospel as more than just how one is made right with God, how one is changed and how one goes to heaven. We are seeing the gospel for Christians as well and how the power of the gospel changes us into who God has called us to be.
This is positive.
It has also created a new thing to complain about.
Now, preachers are gospel centered preachers. If you want to sell a book, throw the word gospel into it. Parenting, preaching, church planting, maybe even write a book called the gospel.
Now, bloggers complain about writers and preachers who aren't gospel centered. Maybe, if you are a pastor, you've had someone tell you, "I'm leaving your church because you aren't gospel centered."
When I've heard this personally, what this often means is, "You don't preach the gospel the way I think the gospel should be preached." In other words, "I think the gospel has specific components and need to be said in a certain order (ie. the Romans road) and if you don't say them in that order, you haven't preached the gospel.
This has also become code for deeper preaching and not having to move forward and do anything with a sermon someone gives.
So, if you are a pastor and get someone who comes up to you after a sermon or sends you an email telling you that you aren't gospel centered, even though someone started following Jesus in that same sermon, what do you do?
- Ask them what it means to be gospel centered. Most of the people who will make this complaint have a prophet lens. For them, gospel centered is the gospel they heard when they got saved, how Tim Keller or John Piper tells the gospel message or something else, but something very specific. One of the best ways to learn from them and help them understand your perspective is to ask them what they think is gospel centered. Sadly, most people who make this complaint cannot actually articulate it. I had one guy complain about this for almost a year and he could never tell me what it meant to be gospel centered, only that our church wasn't it. Finally, he said we were to sensitive to seekers, so that made us not gospel centered. At that point, you can actually have a conversation, when terms are defined.
- Lovingly tell them the gospel from your perspective. As you move forward, explain to them what the gospel is from your perspective. All over the New Testament, there is evidence of Peter and Paul communicating the gospel differently depending upon their audience. This is important for a pastor to keep in mind. So, what John Piper says at a Passion conference may have a different goal and audience than your church in New England or rural Nebraska.
- Understand the fears that come from someone with this complaint. Most of the complaints around this, and I can say this since the camp I'm a part of, the Reformed camp is the one blogging and complaining about this issue. It comes from fear. As we watch our country become more and more liberal, people are fearful that the church is going the same way, and many are. This is a legitimate concern, not fear. Scripture is clear that we are not to be afraid. This is a great shepherding moment for you as a pastor. Many leaders miss this opportunity in an effort to be right or win the argument.

To some, home is where the beach is. Filled with ocean relics, sea tones, rustic details, simple design elements and nautical themes, these awe inspiring, feet in the sand, hair in the wind relaxing escapes, offer a breath of fresh air from the monotony's of life. Meant to relax and inspire, rejuvenate and renew, the feelings that arise from the inside of a beach home are truly anchored to its design. From peaceful living rooms to serene kitchens to blue and coral bedrooms, come get lost in the beauty of coastal chic décor…
The Entryway:
Warm textiles, weathered wood and pops of blue and aqua, work to transition these high traffic areas into clean and comfortable entryways.
The Kitchen:
Soft blues mixed with wood and wicker detailing and vintage beach signs, makes for a comfortable and warm eating area for everyone to enjoy.
The Living Area:
Often the most occupied area in the home, clean white furniture mixed with nautical inspired pillows, wood detailing and pops of blue, aid in designing a perfect beach inspired living room.
The Bedroom:
Below, elements of the sea are brought through in colorful prints and peaceful photographs inspiring a perfect relaxing escape for one to rest their head.
The Bathroom:
From shells to starfish to a fish net covered light fixture, coastal chic bathrooms often bring natural sea elements to life in new and exotic ways.
The Coastal Chic Details:
When it comes to coastal chic décor, little details do make a difference. An antique ship to a roped lamp to sea inspired curtains, all help to bring that perfect beach vibe inside to enjoy day after day.
