This is making me ill.

It's like...a beautiful train wreck. One cannot take their eyes off of it. You can't help looking at it.

My heart breaks for these people, and yet-- I am SO angry at some of them. Some of them are complete idiots. (Of course, THOSE people were complete idiots BEFORE the storm hit. But I digress.)

I am trying to coordinate a communication link, for those who need to get a hold of family members down South, or those who ARE down there, that need to let loved ones know they're okay. Or even those who are ALL down there, but need to reconnect. Communications-- cell phones, landlines, everything-- has been completely sketchy to nil in the last 5 days. People need to reconnect. My family already donated to the Red Cross. Aside from physically going down there and helping somehow, there is really nothing else we can do. We would just be in the way, anyway.

But maybe, by offering a place to get reconnected, we can help.

If we can reconnect even just two people, I will feel as if we have contributed in some way.

If anyone needs to relay a message, or get in touch with someone who can, please PLEASE feel free to email me at:
imaginationranch@hotmail.com

I know of some ham radio operators in my area (south central Illinois, the Midwest), and I can get people to help. I also have high speed wireless Ibnternet, always on. IO have a cell phone (it's our house phone too), and would be happy to make the necessary phone calls or whatever. I'm here. I can help.

Otherwise...this is all wearing on my brain, to have to see it every time the tv is on. and yet, you want to check back in every so often, to see what has developed. It's like seeing the wreck on the interstate. You HAVE to look.

I can't imagine how the people down there are doing.

This is like all the earthquake scenarios I have ever seen in Cali when I lived out there. Only times ten. It's like 911 all over again...and then some.

All we can REALLY do for these people is to pray.

Other than that, I'll be happy to try and help someone get connected with loved ones, either direction.

I like Sundays. I am liking them more and more. I feel as if I'm coming out of a dark spot in my life. Not that my life itself has been dark. Just my vision...like it's been clouded. Actually, I guess my mind has been cloudy.

But my outlook is clearing up somewhat, and maybe I'll be all right after all.

I'm even thinking of maybe joining the choir at church. Wow.

Too bad I'm suffering so from hay fever today. That sucks out loud. (Oops! There's that negative bit again! But allergies DO suck!) I am tired of itchy-sneezy!

Well, back to the family jams...should be a nice evening tonight.

__mom__ Like Watching Paint Dry... Aug 25th, 2005 2:53:58 pm - Subscribe

Waiting for this Aeonity site to load is like watching paint dry. Actually, watching paint dry WOULD be more productive than sitting here on my butt watching my blog load. At least my bathroom would look better if I painted it.

I wonder why it's so slow to load? I have high speed wireless amazing high tech modern day Internet, for which I pay an exorbitant amount of money. What gives?

I have to go clean the house now. The insurance agent will be here about 3:30 to get all our info and get our homeowners coverage back on track. The kids will be home shortly too, and that will be the end of any time on the pc for me.

I wanted to go to WalMart today to do the shopping, but that didn't happen, because at 5:15 this a.m., we had our main electrical cable fry out. $300.00 later, we now have electricity in the house. But it wasn't restored till 1:30 this afternoon.

Oh, well. everything can't always go MY way, I guess.

In fact, it doesn't seem to EVER go my way.

Oh, well.

__mom__ Whatever...here I am! Aug 25th, 2005 2:26:12 pm - Subscribe

????

I wound up here because my daughter has a blog here.

My journal entries are usually not that exciting. I keep a private online journal that would probably get me locked up in the nut house if anyone I knew ever read it...I have some very unpleasant episodes in my mind, at times.

I want to be a writer, but that has really gone nowhere. After all, who really wants to read about my mental imbalances?

I'm trying my hand at photography, and I'm pretty good, I think. But again, I really don't know what to DO with it. Not making any money at it, anyway. (You can view my work at www.webshots.com, my albums are under imaginationranch in the search.) I used to paint, watercolors, and drawings in pen and ink, and colored pencil on occasion....haven't done that in years, been too busy being a Mom (kids, if you are reading this, don't take it personally. I've got other outlets. I just got tired of having to share my art supplies with you, and cleaning them off of walls.)

I'm supposed to be training a horse, but that's going nowhere very fast. I never have time to ride or even work them out anymore. Thought I'd have all kinds of time when the kids went back to school. Hasn't happened yet. Hmm.

I have great kids, and a husband who loves me in spite of my ideosyncracies...and I really don't know what I'm doing here. I haven't figured that out yet. Used to think I would be all kinds of things "when I grew up".

Now that I'm grown up, I'm none of them.

Now what?

Well, here is my blog.

Maybe I'll like it better over here than over at my private journal site. Who knows.

Let me know if you ever figure out what it was I'm supposed to be when I grow up.

frost Spyware: Tips for Avoiding and Removing Jul 19th, 2005 11:49:01 pm - Subscribe

Spyware: Tips for Avoiding and Removing
Keywords: spyware-tips-avoid-remove

Spyware as anyone knows is software that spys, invades and can take anyones privacy and make it un-private. Spyware is horrible and almost impossible to remove. Once you are infected with Spyware there is little to no hope for you and your computer. Spyware was created by companies to strictly steal information from you for spamming. Spyware uses keyloggers, screen shots, and searches through your file system to steal your private information and use it for their own purposes.

That is why it is important to know preventative maintainence for Spyware. I have yet to see an article or blog on how to prevent your computer from getting spyware installed on it. If you, the user, understands how bad spyware is, know how to avoid it you will never need to remove a spyware program again. I speak from experience in that I have had only 1 spyware problem back when spyware first came out. First we will go over the symptoms of a machine that has spyware installed.

Symptoms of computer systems with spyware installed are as follows: Unusual pop-ups at random times (even when at a site such as Google); Search Homepage set to something other than what you defined IE search.com etc.; Slower computer performance, such as your computer running slower than usual; and unusual programs such as Error Guard, Bonzai Buddy, and many others that have been installed.

Spyware will kill your computers resources which in turn makes your internet and computer performance turn to below normal and just flat out crappy. There are many programs that are well known to carry spyware. Which is why the next step is How do you Recognize Spyware?

Recognizing and avoiding spyware bundled programs is not very hard to do. It takes a few minutes to check up on a piece of software to make sure there is no spyware bundled with that software. First thing you do is if the software has a trial period or is "free" software Google it. Chances are if there is spyware bundled with it someone else has posted on a forum, blog, or a review page stating that it is spyware. Simply type in the name of the program and spyware. For our example we will use Error Guard. I know this has a ton of spyware bundled with it.

If I were to go to Google and type in "Error Guard Spyware" you would notice the first few pages are forums, websites, and other information that clearly states Error Guard is completely spyware that will steal your privacy. With this information you know NOT to download and install Error Guard as it contains spyware.

At the opposite end of the pole if a software does not contain spyware chances are it will show up on download pages etc instead of anti-spyware sites. Let's use File Back PC for our example. If you Google "FileBack PC Spyware" you will find the results are not from spyware awareness pages. They are from a well trusted source, cnet downloads. Now I know there are generally more than one person who use a computer. That is why it is good to supply them with the information contained in this Spyware avoidance post and maybe even have a list somewhere near your computer that contains software with spyware bundled into them. This is a major step in preventing spyware from attacking a users privacy.

Just remember if you believe a piece of software has spyware...it probably does. You can always check with Google to make sure. The next step is removing spyware.

I know most people are going to hate this but there is really only 1 good way to remove spyware. A clean start or format to do the harddrive. Once spyware is on your computer it is almost impossible to remove. The reasoning for this is that you execute the program which pretty much gives this software the right to install anything, including spyware, onto your computer in any fashion they want. Most spyware attaches to the system. Once spyware is attached there it is impossible to remove the spyware without trying to do remove it for hours at a time.

There are many programs out their that can "get rid of spyware" but in order to do this you would need about 3 spyware remover programs from different companies. I would recommend Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware. Those worked the best for my personal spyware removal. Despite the use of those two programs, the spyware was still on my system. Just a word to the wise save yourself some trouble and format.

Now that you have gotten rid of the spyware, just be spyware alert. Know what you are downloading and what other people are downloading. Research the software and inform other people using your computer. Spyware is not fun and can be a potential threat to your identity and privacy of your own computer. Know what sites you are going to do and make sure your computer is up to date. Take the necessary precautions can save you hours of trouble and protect your own privacy from spyware keyloggers and other privacy stealing spyware software.

Search Engine Optimization - SEO
Keys: search-engine-optimization-seo

Search Engine Optimization is the key to any kind of site that actually wants users or viewers. In this entry I am goign to explain some of Aeonity Blog's tacticts to get Aeonity Users free blogs listed at the top of almost any search engine. This information is to be used at your own free will. We hope you use it to improve your free blogs to increase Aeonity Blog's users and unique users who view your own free blog.

The majority of people who do Search Engine Optimization do not have any clue how to do it. To tell the truth it took us about 2 years to master our SEO skills. There are many articles, blogs and tutorials on Search Engine Optimization on the internet but all of them are different. They are all correct, but only give you partial information. The key to Search Engine Optimization is to combine them all.

The key to any website is content. The content of the website can make or break your Search Engine Optimization. If you have great Search Engine Optimization on the site but have no dynamic content or content that does not support the site you will no get ranked for what you want nor as high as you want to be. It is good to post new content at least 2 or 3 times daily and make sure the spiders can reach it from ANY page.

Which is the next step. You want to link pages to pages. This is so that when a search engine spider, spiders your site it keeps looping through your website or blog. This means that the spider gets your content more than once and more of it. For instance on everyone's blog we always link back to www.aeonity.com this is so that the spiders can keep going through other people's entries and gather that data for spidering.

Link backs are very useful and are necessary for Search Engine Optimization. The next part of Search Engine Optmization is to use keywords throughout your content. Using keywords throughout the whole post will show that your content matches your site or blog topic. For instance this post I use Search Engine Optmization a lot. I place it strategically through out this whole post to show that this post is strictly about Search Engine Optimization. This is in hope that the bots will show that my free aeonity blog is all about search engine optimization. Doing this will boost your sites rank because your content matches your site and your sites main keywords.

After we have taken care of the content, link backs, and using keywords through out your content the next step is promotion. You will not go very far without having other sites linking to you. This is where Pay-Per-Click campaigns can be very useful. The more sites that have you listed and link to you the better for Search Engine Optimization. This is due to the fact that if a spider goes to joeshmo.com and they see a link to aeonity.com your site gets spidered that much more. This will indefinatley boost your Search Engine Optimization.

A warning to everyone out there, your content is everything for Search Engine Optimization. I hope I am getting this through. If you are listed as #1 on google for Free Blog, but you are not a free blog website. You are getting the wrong people. If I am trying to sell video cameras and I promote my site's content as free blog, because I know blogs are very popular, guess what? All I will get from that Search Engine Optimization is people looking for a place to host their free blog, not a place to buy video cameras. This is where a lot of poeple mess up their Search Engine Optimization. Post meaningful content that helps you attract the right people and not the wrong ones.

The last step for Search Engine Optimization is make your titles meaningful. Another major mistake done by webmasters and designers is putting useless information in the title bar. For example if I am going to jackmovies.com/movies/listings/daredevil-review.html and the title of the page is Jack Movies.com The place for your Movies! Has nothing to do with Dare Devil does it? A better title would be Dare Devil Movie Theater Listings Review That would be a lot better title because it states the movie, that it is a movie and it also uses keywords that people generally use in reference to searching for movies. You can use Jack Movies.com in side the site to define it, but listing the title of your site in the title is a major mistake. Another reason why listing the title of your site in the title is a mistake for Search Engine Optimization is jackmovies.com is already in your search. Why do you need it again? Just something to think about for Search Engine Optimization.

That was FrosT's quick steps to creating good Search Engine Optimization for getting your free blog, website, forum or just for gathering E-Commerce sales. If you have any questions about Search Engine Optimization, how and what Aeonity Blog does to increase hits to your blog feel free to ask. I would love to answer questions on Aeonity's Free Blog Search Engine Optimization tactics. Let me know if this post helps you. Thanks.

frost PHP Pre Hyper-Text Processing Language Jul 15th, 2005 3:50:33 pm - Subscribe

Well since this is the language Aeonity Blog is coded in I thought I would share my insight on why we chose PHP (Pre Hyper-Text Processing) to code Aeonity Blog in. There are many benefits in chosing the right programming language for any website. You just have to know what your website's purpose is and out way the pro's vs the cons. I will go through why Aeonity Blog chose the PHP Programming language.

First of all PHP is free and open source. Open Source simply means that anyone can add and modify the php code. The advantage to having an open source code is that bugs are fixed faster, easier, and by highly skilled programmers. Open source code is always getting back what they give to the community. In turn they get their software better running, cleaner, more efficient with less vunerabilities and exploits.

PHP is a very powerful programming language. PHP was derived from a more powerful language, PERL. With the speed of PHP and the very low-end cost it made PHP the best choice for Aeonity's Free Blog Community. PHP ties into MySQL very easily and efficiently. MySQL is also free software for non-commercial use. With the help of PHP and MySQL Aeonity Blog is as efficient and as fast as it is.

Just remember if you ever need help with a PHP program or script that you are creating, just let me know. I am a master at PHP, but that is not as far as my skills reach. I know C++, PHP, VB, VB .NET, J#, C#, Java, JScript, ASP, ASP .NET, C, PERL, and just about any other language you can throw at me. I love programming for a hobby. I also love challenging scripts. If you have an idea but know nothing about coding it, talk to me. I am always up for new ideas to implement.

I will be posting some code snippets in the near future that I have found to be helpful in my years of coding.

For all your PHP needs and resources http://www.php.net/

Counter-Strike: Source is not your average every day game. You are a terrorist, or counter-terrorist battling it out against each other. With the wind at your back and a Desert Eagle in your right hand you venture onto stop one another. In this exciting multi-player game, you will see the awesome graphics, a brand new engine and most of all a new Counter-Strike. The new textures, models, and skins in Counter-Strike: Source are amazing. Gamer beware that you want at least a 128MB graphic card with 1 GIG of Memory and need 5 GIGABYTES of Hard-Disk Space.

For you hardcore gamers out there you can skin your own models, build your own maps, and even skin your own weapon modifictions. With Counter-Strike: Source's new features and still retaining the old feel of Counter-Strike it makes this an easily addictive game to play online. You can see me playing On-Line through Steam and Valve software. Let's see what you got!

frost Body Numbness Jun 17th, 2005 11:55:35 am - Subscribe

Update: February 7th 2008

Hi Everyone,

Due to the popularity of this blog I felt it to be important to give an update. I eventually went to a doctor and found out I had an Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroid) problem. Due to the history in my family that was the first thing we checked and it fixed my whole numbness issue. This blog will stay active just remember this, see a doctor, no matter what. It will help the process go along, let them know your symptoms and your family's medical history, even if it is 1-2 generations down the line. Please do not hesitate to do this as some of the problems are very serious in nature. This site can be a support barrier to you, but ultimately a test can help you identify the problem.

I appreciate all the help and support everyone is giving each other and I hope it keeps up as it seems a lot of people enjoy it. Thanks for coming and here was my original post:

End of Update

For the past 6 months I have had numbness in my body off and on. The first occurance it was in my left side of my body, only my left side and it was most extreme in the lower legs. It lasted for about a week or 2. About a month later give or take it hit again on my right side this time. Same symptoms lasted a week or so. About 2 months later it hit in my left side again, same symptoms. Just recently it hit me last saturday. This one is very extreme it started out in my feet, I thought it was from recently wearing sandals. But as it kept going it moved and now is from my torso down, even in my hands. My legs are the most extreme it is like they are in the sleep mode, with no sight of waking up.

I went to a doctor did some blood work incase it was a thyroid problem, but he has never heard of it like this. I am waiting for results. I tried some IB Profen incase it was something enflamed. That did not good. I also tried an exedrin incase that did anything, nothing again. I have tried stretching, working out, running, cycling, and still nothing. This is weirding me out etc. I have not been under any stress lately, and never had stroke or any other major problems. I have low blood pressure and Cholesterol (I am 20 years old)

I am just wondering if there is something someone knows that will help this. Or even to prevent it again. It has been about a week I have had this and it is very annoying. I would appreciate ANY information on this, or maybe someone having same symptoms to compare notes with.

I do not wear glasses, my vision is still the same. No headaches or backaches or pains anywhere but my upper chest which has been hurting since the numbness started. But it is my upper chest no where near the lungs or heart. I worked out on Tuesday doing some lifting (it has been a while since i lifted) and that did not seem to help or provoke it any. I have been eating healthier than I have in a long time. The numbness started before the workout and the change in my food habits.

But as of right now my torso, right and left hands, and below my waist is "numb" with that tingling sensation. Another note, I do not have any weakness associated with this. I am still as strong as I was before the numbness started. My reflexs are the same also.

Any comments/suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

frost Day 3 - Body for Life! Jun 15th, 2005 2:24:20 pm - Subscribe

http://www.bodyforlife.com check it out

Well it is day 3 of my journey through body for life. So far I worked out yestarday, I pushed myself more than I thought I could. Now today I am feeling it. This morning I could barely get out of bed. I am so sore but it feels good. I am actualy doing something good for me. I am glad I am not one of those idiots who starve themselves. That stuff just sickens me. How could you be so disrespectful to your body. I mean come on, if you starve yourself you are just shutting your body down. When it starts back up it doesn't work like it used to and when you start eating again you gain 50 lbs after losing only 10. Stupid.

Anyways enough of that. I have decided not to post my food intake anymore because I am doing all that in Excel. But my workout on Tuesday went awesome. I was up at 5:30, started working out at 6 got done at 6:48 and then went home ate breakfast and then went to work. I have been eating like I should except today I had a serving of a brownie because someone brought it in for a work staff meeting...can't be rude. So besides that little mishap everything else is good. I have been going to bed anywhere from 9-10pm which is a lot better than 1 am. I feel a lot better and I find the day goes by a lot faster because I am not as tired. I love these 6 meals I get to eat. They are smaller than normal meals but it keeps me from being hungry half the day thinking about food, because I get to eat food at that time. It is great. A diet that proves that healthy food, exercise, and mental health will do wonders. I know it is only my 3rd day on this diet, but I do feel great.

I noticed a mood change in me I tend to be happier. Do not think this is a walk in the park for me because it is not. I have to fight myself to work out every day (Weight lifting every other day and Cardio the other days) So tonight I have to do the StepMaster for 20-30 minutes which I am dreading because my upper body is soo sore. But I will do it, I have to. No choice. I want to look better, feel better, and just do something for once that is work. I know I will have to push myself deep down to do this, but I will do it.

Anyhow this Body For Life is doing wonder for me in just 3 days. Nothing on the outside of my body but on the inside. I feel better. Great feeling. I am building MY Body for Life!

6/13/2005 - Monday Day 1
6:45-6:55 - Breakfast
- Malt-O-Meal with 1 Cup of milk
- Raspberry and Blue Berries (1 serving)
- 1 3/4 of water
- 2 Celery sticks

Morning thoughts/feelings -
Took me about 10 minutes to wake up from what I wanted to wake up at. This could be due to that I went to bed about 10:45 P.M. South Park could have been the reason I was up late. Maybe try to not watch South Park or put it to 1 episode instead of 2 or 3. This morning I felt pretty good. The Malt-o-Meal was pretty bland, but I guess it did what it was suppose to. I think I need to drink some more water, so maybe try to drink 2-3 cups. It did feel good to have a nice breakfast. I am worried that tomorrow I will not get up to go work out. I am hoping to get a good plan tonight going for my workout in the morning. Do something challenging but not too hard so I will not get discouraged. I need to start getting to bed around 9. So that means that I will have to give up playing my video game as much as I used to. Which may be a little challenging, but I hope to be worth it. A concern I have is my meals. I am not sure if I am getting the amount of food I need/servings. I would like to think I am but I am unsure. I guess I just keep at it and then I will hopefully be able to figure out a better meal plan. Right now I am thinking I need to mark my Tupperware tubs with like "8:00 AM" "10:00 AM" "12:00 PM" "3:00 PM". I am looking forward to working out because I miss that feeling. I need to wake up at 5:15 and leave my place at 5:30 so I can get to the Recreation center and get the pass bought and learn my way around the Recreation Center. I am just going to do day passes for the first little while. Just to make sure that the Recreation center will work for me. I have a small neck/headache right now. I think it is from sleeping in some way. It is not bad or anything just kind of an annoyance.

9:30-10:15 - Mid Day Snack
- Nectarine
- 1 x 6 oz Raspberry Yogurt
- 1 x Quaker Rice Cake (Chocolate)
- 1 serving of Vegetables (Carrots Cauliflower Broccoli)
- 10 oz of Water.

frost Body For Life Jun 9th, 2005 2:40:43 pm - Subscribe

I am going to venture on this journey, starting Monday June 13th 2005. Body for Life

This is how I am approaching this. I have my fiance, Lyndsey, who is also participating with me. She thinks she is fat (when really she is not) but she asked me if I would do it with her, as I have gained about 30lbs in the past 3-6 months. This was from being a programmer full-time, to moving to my new job where I just really sit a computer desk looking over data.

So I bought her the Body for Life for Women book from Wal-mart $25. I got my book which was also $25 from my sister (she bought back in 1999). She is done reading her book and really wants to start but has to wait till I read mine. I am about halfway through it right now and I will read it (173 pages) by Monday.

From reading what I have already this seems very legit and that it will work. It talks about how fitness/health are related to how you feel mentally. If you are depressed a lot and do not do a lot of exercise or eat right chances are those are the cause.

This book also talks about how important it is to set goals that are attainable, descriptive and real. Along with the goals it describes how plans will help you with obtaining your goal. That is what makes this book unique from any other program I have seen. It actually talks about hard work. Everything else is "lose weight in 2 days" blah blah. This one is 12 weeks for 20lbs of fat loss.

Well here are somethings that will help if you want to start doing this. I would have a notebook/journal/diary type thing. One that you can keep thoughts and personal information in. Look into Recreation Centers around you. Chances are those are going to be better than a gym like Bally's Total Fitness. They tend to have everything that Ballys would have to offer without commitments. For 1 day, here in denver, it is $4 or I can buy a pass for 15 visits for $56 which is like $3.23/visit. I plan on starting small by doing day passes until I know that a Rec. Center will work for me.

Tell someone that you are doing it, maybe even get someone to do it with you. Do not think of it as a chore. Think of it as a journey, a new expierence. DO NOT GET DISGRUNTLED IF YOU MESS UP ONCE OR TWICE. Everyone makes mistakes. It is in our mistakes we learn how to better ourselves.

From that I will post "Before" pictures on here hopefully by Monday or Tuesday of my fiance and I. I will be doing an online journal in a sense. Probably not as deep as my personal but yea. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or email me at emofrost [at] gmail -dot- com

Thanks!
