A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

This banner was extracted from the Word Press theme Twenty-Ten. It is an image I have used many times. I searched for the source but have never been successful in determining it’s creator or anyting about the image other than it appears in the theme. If you have the source I would LOVE to be able to correctly attribute it. If this is your image and you don’t want it used or it is NOT in the public domain, contact me, let me know and I will remove it. I am currently using it as a background and header for my site.
This montage of images of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, was taken by the New Horizons spacecraft’s flyby in early 2007. The Jupiter image is an infrared color composite taken by the spacecraft’s near-infrared imaging spectrometer on Feb. 28, 2007. The infrared wavelengths used highlight variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops, with blue denoting high-altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicating deeper clouds. The prominent bluish-white oval is the Great Red Spot.
The Io image, taken on March 1, 2007, is a nearly true-color composite. The image shows a major eruption in progress on Io’s night side, at the northern volcano Tvashtar. Incandescent lava glows red beneath a high volcanic plume, whose uppermost portions are illuminated by sunlight. The plume appears blue due to scattering of light by small particles in the plume.

Did you receive a phone call from the Carlisle Police Department and wonder what is up? Well I took the liberty of gathering all that info for you.
The message you received said:
This is the Carlisle Police Department with an important message for all residents and businesses located in city of Carlisle.
We have licensed the CodeRED Community Notification System to help disseminate important or critical information.
We encourage all residents and businesses to go to the www.carlislear.org website, click on the CodeRED logo located on the home page and enter their contact information, including additional phone numbers, and text and email addresses, to ensure all of the data in our system is accurate and current. Best practice is to create a managed account, so that you can make any changes.
If you know of anyone who did not receive this call who lives in city of Carlisle please encourage them to visit the city’s website and enter their information.

Thank you.

You can sign up for this at: https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/en-US/BF8A4B0457C3
If you have already signed up and want to change your settings go to the login link at the top right of the previous link.
The same company also provides smart phone apps for both Apple and Android phones. But, just so you know, the associated apps do NOT link to your community notification account. They are separate so you will need two accounts. You can see all of the notices on the apps, BUT I am thinking this will make your information in the smart phone app NOT visible to the city’s first responders in the event of an emergency. If you only want to bother with one, I would strongly urge you to opt for the account you sign up for through the city and NOT the app. The app however might be useful when you are traveling as it should connect you to alerts in that area. And of course there are competitors to Code Red that provide similar functionality.
If you want to download the associated app you can do so at:
Android (Google, Samsung, etc.) – https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ecnetwork.crma
Apple phones (iPhone) – https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/codered-mobile-alert/id468404991
Anyway hope this helps explain what is going on. Please feel free to share or copy paste to get the word out to everyone!
