Yeah, cool picture.
Just shows how significant we are.
In the early to mid 70's I was at a trade show that had an 8' x 8' picture
(size + ?) blowup of the Earth. I believe the picture was called “Earthscape”.
If my oft faltering memory serves correct, I remember reading that the astronaut caught the image out the window with his peripheral vision, then looked out the window, and thought yeah, this could be a half-decent shot. He grabbed the camera and shot. Heck of a picture!
Anyhoo, a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all NoLibbers.
I sorta kinda guess I missed Happy Hanukkah and Happy Festivus.
Consider this as an early greeting for 2015. <g>

Layoffs begin today at The New York Times

Job cuts at the New York Times will exceed the stated goal of 100 newsroom positions eliminated, the Newspaper Guild of New York said yesterday in a memo to union members.
According to the guild, the Times said yesterday it will lay off 21 union-represented employees starting as early as today, after 57 guild members and roughly 30 non-guild members accepted buyout applications. That amounts to more than the 100 newsroom positions the newspaper said it needed to eliminate as a cost-cutting measure on Oct. 1.

P.S. Also read the comments.
December 7th is an important date in American history.
Dec. 7, 2014 is the 73rd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Dec. 7th is also the last day for open enrollment in 0babacare.
From:

Dec. 7, 2014—Open enrollment for 2015 coverage closes. In future years, Dec. 7 also will be the closing date for enrollment.
Coincidence?

Chicago Cops: NYT #Ferguson Reporter Who Published #DarrenWilson Address Wanted A-List Protection
The New York Times reporter who published Darren Wilson’s address is “over exaggerating” her security concerns say the Chicago Police Department.
(snip)
“She came in thinking she was Steven Spielberg or something shooting a movie” demanding all kinds of protections says a law enforcement source with knowledge of the Chicago police.
“The police laughed at her.”

Enjoy the long weekend.

Expect to read some complaining, whining, and bitching about invasion of privacy from Julie Bosman and Campbell Robertson.
Who are these two and what happened?
They are the two reporters who, in a story, published the address of Officer Darren Wilson in the New York Times.
What happened was that someone tracked down their home addresses and published them on the internet.
Hmmm... Karma can be a Real Bitch!

Happy Thanksgiving to all NoLibbers!

You are not alone with that viewpoint.
Edit:
A comment I read is that now the cops know their names and addresses.
They will be watching them for serious criminal activity.
Payback can be a bitch.
Id
Thanks, TH, for the explanation.
Prosecutor only eh? The prosecutor, in order to be thorough, must have presented all the evidence.
I read where some “witnesses” supporting Brown, changed their testimony when confronted with actual evidence.
Id
I grew up in a rural village (~ 1,000) in Manitoba.
At that time a protest such as Ferguson would not even be allowed to start.
What I don't get is the call for an indictment leading to a criminal trial.
The police officer has already gone through a trial of sorts.
As in Grand Jury!
As I understand it, it was very similar to a criminal trial.
Id
Fell asleep while watching TV... nice long nap!

You are so correct!

"They have insurance. They can rebuild,'' said Rhasaan, 42. "
Not Me!
I would take the insurance, turn my back and walk away...
leaving my looted / burned out building as a memorial to idiocy.
That has happened before.
Obviously the local community did not care for the services I provided.
Let them commute to another neighborhood for similar services.

Lac-Mégantic, Quebec rail disaster.
The Lac-Mégantic rail disaster occurred in the town of Lac-Mégantic, located in the Eastern Townships of the Canadian province of Quebec, at approximately 01:15 EDT,on July 6, 2013, when an unattended 74-car freight train carrying Bakken formation crude oil ran away and derailed, resulting in the fire and explosion of multiple tank cars. Forty-two people were confirmed dead, with five more missing and presumed dead. More than 30 buildings in the town's center, roughly half of the downtown area, were destroyed. Initial newspaper reports described a 1-kilometer (0.62 mi) blast radius.
The death toll of 47 due to the crash and resultant explosion makes it the fourth-deadliest rail accident in Canadian history, and the deadliest involving a non-passenger train. It is also the deadliest rail accident since Canada's confederation in 1867. The last Canadian rail accident to have a higher death toll was the St-Hilaire train disaster in 1864.

Mold requires two things to grow... moisture and food.
Dunno about the grout, but the drywall behind it is a food source.
My point is that if the grout is sealed (waterproofed) it will be the same as the tiles... no water retention... thus no mold.
Yes, the sealer should be redone from time to time; just go over top if there is no mold.
That said, some years ago a Son helped me redo our bathroom.
New tub, taps, raised the shower head, and ball valve shutoffs.
All the drywall behind the old tile had to be replaced.
I used a one piece plastic surround instead of tile.
I hate tile.
Id
P.S.
Anyone siliconing in the bathroom or kitchen, only use kitchen and bath silicone.
Regular silicone is food for mold.
All...
Once the grout is clean, seal (or reseal) it with grout sealer.
It is used to seal the grout to prevent water getting through to the surface that the tiles are mounted on.
If it is waterproof, it should (hopefully) prevent mold growth in / on the grout.

You are wise to use your laptop to attempt to navigate your desktop.
Shot in the dark department:
(On my Win 7 laptop...) XP is probably a bit different.
Get both computers into Control Panel using the desktop icons if you got 'em.
Go to “Clock Language and Region”.
Then go to “Region and Language”.
Under “Formats” select “Format English (United States)”.
THEN under “Location” select “United States”.
If this works, check “Keyboards and Language””.
A Shot in the Dark!
Hope this helps.
