In a Matter of Seconds, all Your Hard Work Can Be Gone.
This post brought to you by Carbonite. All opinions are 100% mine.
I know - it has happened to me - TWICE - this year.
I lost my hard drive twice this year - having to buy a new computer the first time, then cash in on its warranty the next. Neither time is there any explanation - all that computer techs have told me is that the hard drive, in both situations, had a major crash. I don't peruse dangerous websites and my teenagers aren't allowed to use my computers - so we have no idea why it happened, other than the suggestion that as I travel frequently, the laptops might have been jarred or dropped.

Google Wades into Climate Debate
By John Brandon Published April 05, 2011 FoxNews.com Google is diving headfirst into the climate-change debate with a "21 Club" of hand-picked experts that the search engine giant hopes will drive the conversation -- and guide investments -- in climate change. But it's a discussion that even the club's members say is meant to be one-sided. “If Google included people who challenged that debate, they would be wrong to do so,” said Matthew Nisbet, an associate professor for the School of Communication at American University and one of the 21 Google Science Communication Fellows. “As to whether climate change is happening, humans are a cause and it is a problem -- there is no scientific debate over that," Nisbet told FoxNews.com. A review of the 21 Club confirms Nisbet's comment. The group includes meteorologists, communication specialists, and even weather forecasters, as well as few scientists who research climate change for a living. None argue that the planet isn't in imminent danger. Simon Donner, with the University of British Columbia, recently wrote that unless coral reefs learn to adapt, climate change may rapidly bring on their demise. Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford University recently concluded that "global warming exacerbates poverty vulnerability in many nations," arguing that the cost of food staples in Bangladesh, Mexico, Indonesia and other countries will jump with the temperature. "There is consensus amongst scientists that humans are changing the Earth's climate," reads the mission statement on the Helmuth Lab website, headed up by Brian Helmuth of the 21 Club. From food to rocks to plants to sea life, the 21 Club believes climate change to be a dramatic problem -- one that requires dramatic action. Eugene Cordero with San Jose University even created the Green Ninja, a climate-action superhero who fights global warming. “Our goal is to foster an open dialogue and provide the tools,” argued Amy Luers, the senior environment program manager at Google.org, the non-profit funded by Google, speaking to FoxNews.com. Depending on what the scientists learn, they may develop a system that shows where climate change is occurring on the globe. Or, using technology such as Google Earth, they might map out detailed models showing the effects of climate change. In other words, some day you might be able to find out that the water near Costa Rica is 1 percentage point warmer since 1980, or that Alaska's glaciers have melted … slightly. Google's position toward climate change should not come as a surprise; the company has historically shown a penchant for Democratic causes. As FoxNews.com reported last October, Google gives more to Democratic politicians than to Republicans, for example. Follow the money So what's Google up to, anyway? Part of the motivation seems to be funding new climate change research. Jack Gold, a research analyst, told FoxNews.com that promoting new research often ends up generating new product ideas. He said having good models for climate change can also feed into the company's own data visualization efforts. The company likely sees the search term “climate change” popping up in search results, too. “They are probably reacting to what people are interested in,” Gold said. Jon Peddie, a consumer analyst with Jon Peddie Research, told FoxNews.com that Google may have other motives in mind. “They are pursuing offshore wind farms along the East Coast of the U.S. and probably want to build a solid case for the need to get off oil,” said Peddie. Whatever the reason for the project, Google has big ambitions: Google.org has already doled out about $100 million in grants, mostly to green tech start-ups and alternative energy consortiums. Google to the rescue? Climate studies also involve enormous data sets from many sources and massive computing requirements for data collection. Google has the computing muscle to help analyze that data and make sense of it. “It includes conventional weather data collected by the meteorological services of the world, at the surface of the Earth and in the atmosphere from balloon-borne instruments and satellites," said Richard C. J. Somerville, a research professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, one of the primary sources of climate-change data. "It also includes satellite and ship and buoy data to give ocean temperatures. It includes measurements of glaciers and ice sheets and sea ice, made from satellites and on the ice itself.” Another key purpose is to make climate-change data more “accessible,” to use the parlance of Google's mission statement -- and more discoverable, of course. The company likely has pure motives, tech analyst Roger Kay told FoxNews.com. But Google is also interested in important issues that make the company look good. “This promotes Google’s overall brand, to be associated with problems and perhaps solutions.” And finally, don't forget that it may all come down to business consideration. Remember all those people searching for "climate change"? “Google won’t be able to sell ads if we wipe ourselves out by not mitigating the effects of climate change,” joked Kay.

'Butt Paste?' Sounds like Something my Grandkids would Come Up With -
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
Well, my baby Granddaughter needed some help with a diaper rash and the product my daughter had put in her baby bag wasn't cutting the mustard. So I went to the store to see what I could find.
Being a nurse, I remembered how well a cow udder salve had worked on the skin of an elderly, bed-ridden woman I had once attended. All of us at that nursing home were pretty surprised at how well it worked. It was the woman herself, having been raised on a dairy farm, who had suggested it.
So I was open to finding something "different" when I perused the pharmacy shelves and "Butt Paste" caught my eye.
And it worked! It went on clean, soothed her red, chafed, irritated skin, and had a pleasant scent.
With 16% Zinc Oxide as well as Peruvian Balsam - not only is it pediatrician recommended, but it was specifically formulated by a pharmacist with direction from a pediatrician to provide good care of diaper rashes.
The tubes come in several sizes, from 1 oz , 2 oz, and 4 oz Handy travel sizes with flip top caps to a 16 oz. jar. Visit the site to get your own free sample of Boudreaux's Butt Paste
