Monitoring Kids on Facebook
Lion With Office
However, SocialGuard does this in a way that is invisible to the kids' friends, and doesn't require the parent to be on guard all the time, or even to be on Facebook at all. If the service finds a possible problem, it emails the parent, the child, or both. This happens outside of Facebook itself. The service doesn't give the parent the ability to directly read, or leave comments on, the child's Facebook wall.
ZoneAlarm SocialGuard comes from a veteran security firm, Check Point Software Technologies. It costs $2 a month or $20 a year, though there's a free seven-day trial (the company is also randomly testing a free 30-day trial.) It takes the form of a stand-alone computer program connected to a back-end monitoring service, and can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/hgo0C5. A new version coming in August will add several features, including a toolbar that can deliver SocialGuard warnings when you use Internet Explorer or Firefox.
View Full Image
SocialGuard offers parents multiple settings and views of possibly troublesome situations on Facebook. Above, the Account Settings screen. Right, the Review Friends screen.
Before I get into describing how it works, let me note several caveats about SocialGuard.
First of all, the program (and toolbar) only work on Windows PCs. There's no version for Macs, Web browsers, smartphones or tablets—and no definite plans for such versions. However, it can monitor Facebook accounts that are accessed by your kids via Macs or mobile devices, or via different Windows PCs.
In other words, the software you use for monitoring needn't be on the same device the child uses for accessing Facebook.
Secondly, there are some holes in its coverage. While it monitors such things as messages, profiles and wall posts on a Facebook account, it doesn't monitor Facebook chats; places and events; or photos, though it does check on the text accompanying photos and the people who tag the pictures. So, if your daughter is posting pictures you consider inappropriate, SocialGuard can't warn you.
Also, SocialGuard can't protect your child if he or she manages to set up a second, secret Facebook account that you and the service don't know about.
Finally, like all security software, it isn't a silver bullet, even in the areas it does cover. You still need to do active parenting, including discussions with your children. The child is likely to be aware that SocialGuard is monitoring his or her account, because, in order to set it up, you must use her Facebook sign-in credentials. In fact, the company stresses this point, noting that, if you do get an email about, say, language in a post that indicates cyber-bullying, you should discuss it with your kid.
Still, in my tests, SocialGuard did what it promised, and I believe it could be a real benefit to parents and children alike, so they are warned about potential problems early.
SocialGuard can cover up to five Facebook accounts simultaneously, and each account can have its own settings as to what is monitored, and whether only the parent, or both the parent and child, should get emails when suspicious events occur. For instance, for an older teen, you might not worry about content classified by the program as "sex education," but for a younger one you might.
For my tests, I entered my own, real, Facebook account; a fake account I created; and several test accounts for imaginary children of different ages that the company had created, complete with some events that triggered emails to me.
When I tried, using my fake account, to friend one of the test children, I was flagged as a "potential stranger" because I wasn't connected to the child or any of her friends, according to the company's algorithms. Another example: I was warned that one of the test kids' friends had a declared age of 14, but also had stated on Facebook he graduated high school in 1972.
In other cases, language or links figured into the warnings that appeared in my email inbox. When one child sent another a Web link to a lock-picking site, I was warned. When an imaginary friend posted on one of my imaginary kids' walls a message that included curse words commonly used by bullies, it was flagged as possible cyber-bullying.
Obviously, not all of these cases may be real causes for concern. True friends sometimes use bad language in situations that aren't bullying. Sometimes websites are passed along that SocialGuard knows are malicious or inappropriate, but the sender doesn't. An older aunt, outside a child's social circle, may wish to friend him. And different families have different levels of tolerance. That's why discussions matter. SocialGuard only warns. It doesn't stop these activities.
I am not so sanguine about the forthcoming toolbar, which I also tested. Managed in part by a separate company, it has various features, like a search box for the Bing search engine and a link to an app store selling Web-based games and other services, that are unrelated to the core mission of SocialGuard, and which I found both annoying and distracting from the purpose of the security service.
But, overall, if you're a parent with limited time who worries about your child's safety on Facebook, yet wants to give her some privacy, SocialGuard is worth trying.

Failing econ 101
It's not just kids who are bummed about the back-to-school season.
A "shadow of insecurity" hangs over the nation's retailers, according to a major trade group, which predicted that consumer spending during the crucial back-to-school shopping period will be lackluster because of the economy.
The National Retail Federation said yesterday that it expects the average family will spend $603.43 on back-to-school apparel, school supplies and electronics. That's down slightly from last year's average of $606.40.
Total back-to-school spending is estimated at $22.8 billion.
Paramount
Last year, students resembled Alicia Silverstone from “Clueless” as they splurged on back-to-school items like apparel, electronics, shoes and other must-haves. This year will be different as cashstrapped consumers are expected to cut back.
"Parents want their children to take a good look around at what they already have before deciding what to buy for back-to-school this year," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.
Among the hardest-hit categories will be electronics. At the college level, just 46 percent of students and parents say they will buy gadgets -- the lowest level since 2005, according to BIGresearch, in a separate survey yesterday focused on college-related spending.
"Many college students are already armed with the latest gadgets," said BIGresearch's Pam Goodfellow. She added that "many popular college items, like laptops, have experienced huge drops in price over the last several years."
Parents and students will also spend less on everything from notebooks to jeans, while delaying their shopping trips into the first weeks of classes this fall.
The main problem is persistent economic uncertainty, stoked lately by the US budget crisis, mixed news about the mortgage markets and $4-a-gallon gas oline, according to Stevan Buxbaum of the Buxbaum Group, a Los Angeles retail consultant.
Not everybody agrees that back-to-school will be a bust. Shoppers' disposable income has risen about 3 percent this year, and consumers meanwhile are loosening their wallets instead of hoarding cash in savings ac counts, notes Craig Johnson of Customer Growth Part ners. That's partly because consumers have managed to pay down personal debt.
"There's still a lot of pent- up demand for apparel," according to Johnson.
Department stores are doing a particularly good job of tempting shoppers with exclusive fashions, he said, noting that Macy's lately has struck clothing deals with Ma donna, Tommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld.
But while Johnson predicts back-to-school sales will rise 6.2 percent, that's still well off the highs seen four to five years ago, he notes.
"It's like the country song says," Johnson said. "When you're this far down, it still looks like up." james.covert@nypost.com

Ask the Mouthy Housewives: Is It Bad to Lie About Faking It?
Or: more to the point...should we ever fake it?
The Mouthy housewives, BettyConfidential.com
Joining us here at BettyConfidential … The Mouthy Housewives! These lovely, models of decorum (Kelcey, Wendi, Marinka, Kristine and Tonya) want our lives to be as fabulous as theirs, thus they're happy to ignore their families to give us smart, cheeky advice. So pop open a box of ros, put on your favorite Barry Manilow CD and let the Housewives Swiffer away your troubles … Every week they’ll be answering burning questions from readers.
Dear Mouthy Housewives,
My husband asked me if I’ve ever faked an orgasm with him. I said “Of course not!” and he said “I thought everyone did.” It was no big deal to him, but now I’m wondering what’s wrong with me that I can’t admit to faking it every once in a while.
Signed,
I Faked It and Then I Lied
Dear I Faked It,
Sometimes it truly is OK to fake it. For example, if you and your husband are running 45 minutes late for dinner with friends and he suddenly turns to you as you’re half way out the door and says, “Do I look alright?” – turn to him with a big smile and say “Honey, you look great.” And then maybe the next time you go out, suggest that pairing a jean jacket with jeans might be a touch heavy on the denim.
To facilitate a smooth, happy marriage it’s necessary to sugarcoat things by sprinkling a white lie here and there. But the bedroom is not one of those times.
Unless you have divine superwoman powers (and if you do, market them immediately so you can bask in your glorious riches), you likely will not have an orgasm every time you are intimate with your husband. And that’s OK. On those occasions, don’t make your husband work endlessly in his futile attempt to get you to the promise land. Just let your spouse know that for some reason (that has nothing to do with him), it’s just not happening for you on this particular evening and he should relinquish all thoughts of baseball and bring it home for the both of you.
There is just no benefit to misleading your spouse into thinking you’re having an orgasm when you’re not. Because maybe you two can work together over time to make your orgasms more frequent. Or maybe you just have to imagine George Clooney all naked and sweaty and in your bedroom. Whatever works.
And save your “faking it” for when your husband makes you a lasagna dinner from his mother’s homemade recipe that tastes like shredded rubber tires. Just turn to him and say, “I love it and I love you for making it.”
Good luck to you,
Kelcey, The Mouthy Housewives
The Mouthy Housewives spend our days solving the world's problems and our nights playing classical piano and reading fine literature. Or maybe just yelling at reality TV shows. Need our help?

Kasteel Bouvigne, Breda - Dutch Castle Bouwvigne, Breda
Kasteel Bouvigne, Breda - Dutch Castle Bouwvigne, Breda
Higly recommended: View large on black
Kasteel Bouvigne ligt even buiten de wijk het Ginneken en vlak bij het Mastbos ten zuiden van Breda.
Het is eigendom sinds 1972 van Waterschap Brabantse Delta. Na restauratie tussen 1975 en 1977 werd het heropend in 1977 door Zijne Koninklijke Hoogheid Prins Claus.
Het is onbekend hoe oud het kasteel precies is en of het er vroeger hetzelfde uit zag als nu. Vanaf 1494 was er sprake van een omwaterd stenen huis. In 1554 dook het voor het eerst op in een officile akte: het testament van de vroegere eigenaar Jacob van Brecht. In dit testament werd het kasteel omschreven als een statig stenen huis omgeven met grachten. Het kasteel is in de loop der tijd uitgebreid. Het begon met het stenen huis, waarop later de eerste verdieping van de toren is gebouwd (tussen 1554 en 1611). In de drie jaar daarna zijn er nog enkele andere verbouwingen gedaan en is de toren verhoogd met een tweede verdieping. De naam Bouvigne werd genoemd in 1802 in een koopakte. Vanaf 1930 kwam het kasteel in handen van de overheid en werd het onder andere lange tijd verhuurd aan de Catechisten van de Eucharistische Kruistocht (Pius X-stichting).
De tuinen zijn te bezoeken. Het kasteel alleen op speciale dagen bijvoorbeeld de Brabantse Kastelendag. Sinds 1 oktober 2010 is kasteel Bouvigne n van de officile trouwlocaties binnen de gemeente Breda.
The castle Bouvigne is situated south of the Dutch city of Breda and near the Mastbos (lit. tribes forest).
Since 1972 it is owned by 'Waterschap Brabantse Delta'. After restoration between 1975 and 1977 it was reopened in 1977 by His Royal Highness Prince Claus.
It is unknown how old the castle exactly is and whether it earlier used the same saw as now. From 1494 there was a stone house with water around it. In 1554 it first appeared in an official document: the testament of the former owner Jacob Brecht. This described the castle as a stately stone house surrounded by canals. The castle was gradually expanded. It began with the stone house, the tower was built between 1554 and 1611. In the three years thereafter, there are some other renovations done and the tower is increased. The name 'Bouvigne' was first mentioned in 1802 in a deed. From 1930 the castle came into the hands of the government and was the long time include leased to the catechists of the Eucharistic Crusade (Pius X Foundation).
You can visit the gardens, but the castle only on special days. Since October 1, 2010 Bouvigne castle is one of the official wedding locations within the city of Breda.

What If You're "Ready" ... and He's NOT?
By GalTimer Michelle Strickland
After a couple of years of dating, I thought for sure that next Christmas was IT, the day he would propose. We had already moved in together, we even discussed marriage, so what was left? Well, the ring! Christmas came, we had all finished opening up our presents and then he said to me, "Oh wait! There is one more gift hiding". Could it be? Nope!
Related: 5 Signs He Doesn't Love You
Don't get me wrong; it was a beautiful necklace, however, not the piece of jewelry that would bring us to the next level of our relationship. So, I was a bit disappointed, but thought of it as no big deal... we still loved each other and that's all that mattered. Right? Or am I just settling?
What was so special about him that I felt that getting a ring was really no big deal? (no big deal....to him or to me?) Every girl dreams about their wedding day, so why can't I have it? No, I really do love him. He is worth the wait....I think.
So, a few years later, I received an unexpected surprise. Nope, STILL not a ring. A positive pregnancy test. I told my husband (boyfriend at the time) that I didn't want to get married just because I was pregnant. Plus, I didn't want to have a basketball belly walking down the aisle. So, we continued the dating life.
A little over a year later, he did it....he proposed! He involved our son and everything. It was really cute. It felt like forever for our wedding day to come (6 1/2yrs!). I'll admit that, at times throughout the years, I felt like maybe it was not going to go anywhere so I should just move on and find somebody who was 'ready' like me. But that only seemed unfair to him. Maybe he would want to get married at some point but just wasn't ready. Was that a reason to bail just because I had a timeline?
Related: Popping "The Question": How Long Is Too Long to Wait?
Now on the other hand, my sister has been dating her boyfriend actually even LONGER than my husband and I did (almost 7 years). I can tell she is getting impatient and disappointed every year when a special occasion arrives or she has a "feeling" only to be let down. I feel for her because she is at the point where she pretty much has her whole wedding planned out; she just needs her groom!
I think she is in the same position as I was... she DOES love him but feels she is more ready than he is. He is not showing much interest or any signs of an upcoming engagement, unless he has something up his sleeve and is doing a good job throwing her off track. She doesn't know what to do.
She does admit sometimes she would be scared to go back into the dating world. Is that a way for her to admit she is settling? I'm sure they will end up married and happy sooner or later, I just hope for her sake it's not later.
Is getting married really overrated? Is it all that everybody makes it out to be? So far, in my experience, yes. I am happy where I am today and definitely glad we finally took the "plunge". Is marriage for everyone? How long is too long to be in a relationship without a sign of a proposal? When is the time to say enough is enough and kick 'em to the curb?

Japan's Yen Tone Grows Sharper
TOKYO—Japan's finance minister on Thursday escalated his rhetoric about the yen's rising value, while a senior ministry official said the government could intervene to fight the advance at any time.
Having described the yen's move as "a little one-sided" on Wednesday, Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda told reporters on Thursday morning that it's "far out of line with real fundamentals and is one-sided."
"It would be troubling if this trend takes hold so we will continue to watch the markets carefully," he added.
Still, when the dollar and euro both suddenly jumped against the Japanese currency Thursday afternoon—gains that turned out to be short-lived—few market participants viewed it as a sign the government had stepped in. Investors concluded instead that large-scale buying by a U.S. bank on behalf of a U.S. fund was responsible.
Most market participants see the chance of intervention at this point as low, given the tone of the language from officials, the risk it won't work and the lack of stock-market reaction to the strong yen. Even as the currency has risen, the the Nikkei Stock Average has held quite steady, just below the important 10,000 mark.
The surprise mid-afternoon jump in the dollar and euro took to ¥79.60 and ¥112.93, respectively, from ¥78.65 and ¥111.73 at 0530GMT.
"I don't think it's due to Japanese intervention, but I can't say with 100% certainty," said a dealer with good knowledge of market flows. The dollar and the euro gave up the gains soon afterward, falling to ¥78.84 and ¥111.86.
The senior ministry official and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano both refused to say whether the government had stepped in.
The official, however, suggested that market participants were reading too much into the tone of the government language. "It is wrong to think we will not intervene unless we say we will take 'decisive steps,'" he said—a signal that intervention is possible anytime.
In the absence of confirmation from the governnment on Thursday's market action, the wait is on for intervention data, to be released on the last day of the month. For now there's only a string of rumors, including one that the Bank of Japan had conducted rate checks, a step often taken ahead of intervention to demonstrate that officials are watching market moves closely. But several senior Tokyo dealers said they were not aware of any such BOJ calls.
"There are lots of rumors flying around the market after the sharp fall in the yen earlier, and even without any clear signs of intervention, investors are certainly more on edge now that Tokyo could step in at some point," said Satoshi Okagawa, a senior dealer at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
As of 0800 GMT, the dollar was at ¥79.04 and the euro was at ¥112.24.

Day 187: 6 July 2011
Day 187: 6 July 2011
Shot on iPhone 4. I went into town today, hoping to catch some sort of atmospheric shot in preparation for the final State of Origin (rugby league) game of the year. But instead of seeing people getting their faces painted, like I saw before Game One, I just saw lots of people. So, I quickly took a shot of a fountain and went back to work - so I could do the patriotically Queensland thing of leaving work early and going home to watch the game. Queensland won, by the way. I believe the support I offered as we watched the game with my in-laws (they have a bigger TV than us) was key to our team winning.

Horsetail Falls-1
Horsetail Falls-1
This is another of the amazing waterfalls along US-30, along the Historic Columbia River Scenic Area.
This fall can be seen literally from the side of the road. No hike needed. Even though I got there early, part of the falls were already starting to get some sunlight, so I had to get creative. Here are 3 views of the falls.
Stream: Horsetail Creek
Height: 192 ft.
Elevation: 50 ft.
