Quiet day and we heard from the kids
We had a nice quiet day again yesterday. My daughter Cindy called during her lunch break from Naval Base San Diego where she is attending her C-School in the Navy.
Cindy was doing well and was glad she had her laptop up and running and on the Net. She bought the Belkin F5D7050 Wireless-G 54Mbps USB Network Adapter that I recommended and said that she is able to go online now. Cindy said that from what she has seen about 95% of the sailors on her base have a cell phone and a laptop. I bugged Cindy about sending me some pictures and she said that she would do that soon.
My son John called from Mayport Naval Base and was also doing well. He said that he had a great weekend and went to a Super Bowl Party at one of the guys houses from his ship. John said that the guy made the best Rubin sandwiches that he had ever had. John told me that he ate 6 of them so they must have been good. John is in class this week with his shipmates and said that it is interesting.
It's always good to hear from the kids and know that they are doing well. I made an apple pie yesterday for us and it turned out great. My neighbor Doris gave me an easy recipe for the crust. Doris said that all you have to do is remember to half the ingredients all the way down. I used 2 cups flour, 1 cup shortening, and 1/2 cup water. You can easily adjust the recipe for the amount of crust that you want as long as you half the ingredients starting with the flour it will turn out ok every time. Thanks Doris.

We had a quiet weekend
We had a quiet weekend and really didn't do anything. Today the weather outside is great with a current temp of 69 degrees. It won't be here long but we take what we can get. It's is supposed to get down to 17 degrees tomorrow night.
My daughter Cindy attending her C-School at Naval Base San Diego got her wireless card for her Laptop and is able to get on the internet now. Cindy, you know that we are expecting pictures from you now, don't you? :)
Today we are just enjoying the nice weather and listening to music. Hope everyone has a nice day.

Got a Nice Surprise tonight
Our Dog Tanner thinks the Pizza is for him.My son John in the Navy with the USS Doyle and stationed at Mayport Naval Base in Florida called Pizza Hut and ordered me a Pizza and Pepsi and had it delivered to my house here in Kansas.
John called me and said that dinner was on the way, at first I thought he was talking about himself and he said " Dad your dinner is on the way". I couldn't believe it, but he told me that it would be here any minute and it was. John got me a large pepperoni pizza and a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi from Pizza Hut. That was so nice and thoughtful of him that I had to share what he did here. It taste great, I have not had pizza in months. Thank you so much John. That really was a nice surprise.
Cindy, this is what you should get
This is for my daughter Cindy. Cindy, I talked to John yesterday afternoon and he agrees with me that should would work for your Laptop. It's only $29.00. Dad

How to Keep From Being Stinky
As the father of former teenagers I have had my share of having to deal with Stinky kids and their friends. The advice in this video from chris.pirillo.com goes for you girls out there too. My wife and I are both in our 40s and when we were young and still in school we would never think of going out to school or anywhere else for that matter without being clean and in fresh clothes. That is not the case for most of the kids that we have seen with this current generation. Take some good advice and take a shower every day ( You won't melt ), use deodorant, and please don't sleep in your clothes.

This forecast just came in for us
UPDATE: It's now 3:50pm and we really didn't get any snow here. I did see a" little" this morning but that was it. It makes you think that they just give the job of forecasting the weather to just about anyone. All they have to do is guess and most of the time they are wrong. LOL If you can't get the forecast right, even a few hrs in advance you should look for another job. :)
This forecast just came in for us. So who knows what we will end up with in the end? I did go get my sugar at the store so I am all set.

Break in the Weather
It looks like we are going to get a lucky break in the weather. This morning's weather is only calling for 1-4 inches of snow. That is much better than what they were saying 12 hrs ago. I think I could do just as good at forecasting weather as a meteorologist. :) They just keep changing the forecast until they get it right. LOL
I'll let you know what we end up with. It has not started snowing outside yet so I might take this opportunity to go to Wal-Mart and get some sugar for my coffee. I forgot to get that yesterday.
UPDATE: 6:40am. I just looked outside and see that it has started snowing.

Keep your private files into password protected Lockbox
Do you have some files on your computer you'd like to hide from others? I see so many people doing their taxes on their computers in spreadsheets that I thought this program might be a good idea. The program is called My Lockbox. It is for hiding your sensitive data.
Here's how it works. Once you install My Lockbox, the application will create a hidden folder. By default that folder will be in your My Documents folder, but you can place it anywhere on your PC. The folder is password protected, and when you hit the "lock" button, nobody can open it. That means they can't copy or open files, and they can't save files to the folder. So you'll need to unlock the folder in order to save new files to your lockbox. My Lockbox is very simple to use, and even hides your files when your PC is running in safe mode.

Snow in the forecast
In my post this morning I mentioned that we are supposed to get some snow here. At that time they were calling for about 5-6 inches. Tonight I watched the news and saw that they have updated the weather forecast to 7-9 inches or more snow for us. We are in the Heavy Band area. Oh what fun... We are now under a Winter Storm Warning for tonight and tomorrow. If we actually get that much snow it will be a mess. As I said earlier we don't have snow plows in our City, they use road graders and only plow some of the roads with those. I sure hope the weather forecast is wrong. I will take some pictures tomorrow and let you know what we end up with.

Relocate the "Temporary Internet Files" folder to a different drive
If you have a second hard drive and want to move the Temporary Internet Files to it instead of your C: drive just follow these directions.
Relocate the "Temporary Internet Files" folder to a different drive
To redirect the Temporary Internet Files location to a different drive, follow these steps:
1 Save and close all running applications
2 Create a folder in the destination drive (say F:\TIF)
3 Click Start, Run and type CONTROL INETCPL.CPL
4 In the Temporary Internet Files section, click Settings
5 Click Move Folder button and browse to the target folder
6 Click OK
7 Click Yes, when you see the prompt
"Windows will log you off to finish moving Temporary Internet Files. Do you want to continue ?"
Windows will now copy all the Cookies, temporary internet files to the destination folder and log you off. Log back in for the changes to take effect.
To accomplish this via the registry, alter the Shell Folders path for TIF
The above method is effective as it copies the contents of the current Temporary Internet Files folder to the new location. Whereas, relocating the Temporary Internet Files shell folders path via the registry does not copy the existing content to the new location.
Open Registry Editor by typing REGEDIT in Start, Run dialog
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software Microsoft \ Windows CurrentVersion \ Explorer User Shell Folders
In the right-pane, double-click the value named Cache and set it's data to the new TIF folder
(F:\Temporary Internet Files)
Similarly, make the changes in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software Microsoft \ Windows CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders
Close Registry Editor and log off. Login back for the changes to take effect. The TIF will be stored in the new location which you defined. The old TIF files can be deleted manually by navigating to this folder from Start, Run dialog: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Access your Macromedia Flash player settings
This is a re-post of a post I did two years ago but it is still relevant.
Most people don't realize how much information their computer stores about what they do on the internet.
Here is a link to access your Macromedia Flash player settings. You can go here to Clean up your Flash sites. This takes you to the Settings manager. It is the actual Settings Manager not an image. If you click Delete All Sites, all websites are removed from your list of visited websites. Any information a website may have stored on your computer is erased.
In this panel, you can change storage settings for a website or delete the website so that, if you visit it again, it will use your global settings instead of any individual settings you may have set. You can also delete all sites, which erases any information that may have already been stored on your computer.

It's a quiet day here in Kansas so far
It's a quiet day here in Kansas so far. I did manage to go to the store and get some things in case we get the expected snow tonight and tomorrow that they are calling for. It's only supposed to be about 6 inches which really isn't that much but when you consider that we have no snow plows and the snow that sticks to the streets quickly becomes ice it makes sense to be ready. Don't get me wrong, our city tries to do the best they can to get rid of the snow with the few road graders they have but it is never enough.
In other news my daughter Cindy got the Laptop that her boyfriend Doug sent to her. Cindy and Doug are both in the Navy. Cindy is stationed in San Diego, Ca and Doug is in Norfolk, Va. Cindy called me last night because the PC Wireless Card in the Laptop wasn't installing correctly. The card is the Netgear Wireless PC Card WG511. After trying some things with her on the phone we determined that the card or slot was damaged in shipping. Probably the card. Hopefully Cindy will be able get another one soon and find out.
Cindy if you are reading this here is a link to a NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card for $39.99 Hope that helps.
That's about it for now. Hope everyone has a great day.
Our Forecast Below
Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from late tonight through Thursday afternoon...
Snow will develop across the area late tonight and become widespread overnight into Thursday. The snow may be heavy at times. Storm total snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches are possible by late Thursday afternoon. In addition... northerly winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 mph are expected mainly across south central Kansas and the Flint Hills. The strong winds and falling snow will cause visibilities below one-quarter mile at times along with significant blowing and drifting snow problems. Wind chills in the teens can be expected.
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant winter weather that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts for updated information.

To answer Sue's question about Graduation from Navy Boot Camp.
To answer Sue's question about Graduation from Navy Boot Camp.
You will get a letter from your recruit on when his or her graduation will be but you can also look here http://www.nstc.navy.mil/rtcgl/family/upcominggrad.html each week and when you see their Division you will know the dates. I had two kids go through Navy Boot Camp last year and we couldn't attend either Graduation because of expense and health issues. According to my kids about 50-70% have family attend. If you are unable to attend for any reason have your recruit order the DVD of graduation and you can watch it at home.
The planning for graduation could be a real problem if you live far away. You will find out the graduation date a few weeks before graduation and even then that date could change for your recruit if he becomes ill or fails to pass a test in boot camp. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask and you can also e-mail me at kansasdad@gmail.com

New Navy message board ( Family, friends )

Download songs from EMI, SonyBMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group legally.
Qtrax, which has signed all four major labels, EMI, SonyBMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, launched yesterday with 25 million songs ( compared to around 3 m for Amazon and 6 m for iTunes ).
The downloaded songs are not compatible with iPods and have to be played via a proprietary player. Ads are displayed during playback, even on music devices so it's not for everyone, but it is legal.
Right now the service is down from all the attention it is getting. This is what I got when I went to the site ( "Due to overwhelming demand, Qtrax.com is currently unavailable. Please check back in 24 hours to download the first, free, and legal P2P music application. Thank you for your understanding." )
Once the bugs are worked out this should be a good alternative to downloading songs from BitTorrent and thus breaking the law.
Go see Qtrax.com and see for yourself.
UPDATE: Read Labels deny deals on file sharing

Coffee and a very Simple Blueberry Cobbler
Good morning. I woke up about 6am today and am drinking my morning Coffee. I just came across this article about the benefits of caffeine for your skin. In the article it states that "research suggests that both oral and topical caffeine may offer powerful anticarcinogenic benefits. A series of studies performed on mice found that caffeinated green and black teas prevented sun damage and even repaired damage once it occurred, whereas decaffeinated teas did not." So that's right people drink that coffee and tea and enjoy. You can read the article here.
Last night my wife and I were in the mood for something that had fruit in it. We didn't have any fruit left in the fridge and it was 10pm so I didn't really feel like going to the store so I came up with the idea of a Simple Blueberry Cobbler. I had a can of Blueberry pie filling and some refrigerator biscuits so what I did was pour the pie filling in a baking dish and then put the refrigerator biscuits on top of the filling I then brushed the tops of the biscuits with an egg wash and sprinkled them with some sugar. I baked the whole thing in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes until the biscuits were a nice brown color and then we ate it. It turned out delicious. This simple recipe would work with any pie filling for a quick easy dessert. Next time I will try apple pie filling and pit some sugar and cinnamon in the filling before I add the biscuits. I bet that will be good. :)
If you don't know what an egg wash is, here is how to make it. Just mix an egg and some water together. That's it...
