I'm very pleased with this purchase. The only assembly was putting the feet on so it was ready to go in less then 5 minutes. The seat opens and closes very smoothly and has ample storage for blankets or anything else you'd like to keep out of the way. This ottoman is the perfect accent to my living room.
This ottoman is the perfect size. I use it in front of my sleeper loveseat. The colors match perfectly with my sofa. I do have wood floors so I have a rug under it so it doesn't slide. Love the storage aspect also.
We are using this as a window seat with storage. It should serve quite nicely. I would not plan to store heavy things in it however. The bottoms do not look too strong. We figured on storing a few games in the family room in them. I think these would look good in a bedroom or informal area but I wouldn't use them in a high traffic area for regular seating. I am not sure they would hold up. We are pleased with them for what we wanted tham for.
I bought this for my bedroom for extra storage, and it's perfect. My favorite feature is that the hinges fold down inside so you can open the top while the ottoman is backed up flat against the wall or the bed. It's fun to open it just to see the hinges move. Maybe I need to get a life. In all other respects, it's exactly as described. It arrived well-packed, it's heavy and sturdy and covered in a good-quality fabric. My 300-lb friend sat on it and it didn't even creak. A good buy.
I bought this piece to sit in front of my window and store blankets, etc. I could not be more thrilled. When it first arrived, I felt that the color was slightly more subdued than I had imagined. I was expecting more of a canary yellow. After a day or so and seeing it in different times of day/lighting, I absolutely LOVE IT. The color is actually perfect for my room, which has a bit of a vintage theme going on. I feel this is a great value piece for the price, the quality is impressive, and it is very stylish. I could not be happier with this ottoman.
I was very pleased with the product, I purchase two for against a corner for seating at a table. I can change the height if I need to by adding a block to the wooden legs, which unscrew, so I was pleased with that flexibility. Overall I am very happy with the product.
Made in Mexico. This is a nice, unobtrusive addition to the room. The colors are more muted than I thought they'd be. This is NOT a vibrant yellow or gold. Nice quality for the price. Fabric has texture, not just a cheap print. Could easily be scooched up to a dining table for additional seating. Kids like to lay down in it and close the lid -- has held a 50# child with no damage to the bottom.
I was looking for a storage bench that would go with my neutral-colored house - this worked out perfectly. While it may be too shallow to store a fluffy down comforter in (if you want to get anything else in there), it's great for a couple folded blankets or throws, and lots of spare sheets. I'm really happy I bought this and would consider buying a second if they had better colors (this was the most neutral I could find).
We received the ottoman shortly after ordering it. The assembly was easy -- just screw in the legs and go. It was in pretty good shape -- I would have given this five stars, but when it arrived, the threading was coming out in two parts of the top. It's way too much hassle to send it back, so we'll just fix it ourselves. Otherwise, it looks great, and the inside storage space is huge.
I was so excited when I ordered this as the color looked so vibrant and the reviews were good. When the item arrived, I was very disappointed. The yellow is very dull and the fabric on top is wrinkled all around the seam. The quality of the cushion is very good and the top opens up very nicely. I am not very happy with this ottoman but I had to keep it since it is too much trouble to return it.

Adelle Waldman's debut novel, THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF NATHANIEL P., chronicles the affairs of the titular hero (who is also sort of an anti-hero) as he makes his way through life and love in the Brooklyn literary scene. Nate is neither romanticized nor vilified as he goes from one relationship to the next, and Waldman deftly keeps him grounded in details that are almost painfully relatable. Naturally, The Book Report Network's Nicole Sherman and Emily Hoenig jumped at the opportunity to interview the author about getting into a thirtysomething guy's head. Here, Waldman discusses how she was able to so expertly channel the male psyche, how she feels about inevitable comparisons to HBO's "Girls" --- the current reigning champ of Brooklyn coming-of-age --- and which of the NATHANIEL P. characters she identifies with the most. And, of course, she has lots of insightful things to say about navigating relationships, both romantic and platonic.

Sandra Lee is an award-winning expert in all things kitchen and home, and the Editor-in-Chief of the new magazine Sandra Lee. In her first work of fiction, THE RECIPE BOX, we are introduced to Grace D'Angelo, who realizes she must take immediate steps to repair her life and her most precious relationships following the death of her best friend. Sandra talks to Bookreporter.com's Bronwyn Miller about her transition from cookbooks to novels, and how she learned to believe in her story and not use recipes as a crutch in the process. Rest assured, it wouldn't be a Sandra Lee book without mouth-watering recipes, and plenty made the cut! Sandra also opens up about the transformative power of first love, the importance of seizing the day, and why she believes the metaphor of the "recipe box" is central to every woman's life.
Patrick W. Carr, author of the acclaimed fantasy A CAST OF STONES, returns with THE HERO'S LOT, the second installment in The Staff and the Sword series. Picking up where the first book left off, forces bent on the destruction of the kingdom conspire against Errol Stone, who is falsely accused of terrible crimes and sentenced to undertake a perilous quest. In this interview, Carr talks about choosing clever --- and pithy --- titles, how even authors are sometimes surprised by the way events unfold in their own books, the ongoing romance between Errol and Adora, and why writing the second book in a series is sometimes harder than producing the first.

Critically acclaimed author Ben Coes returns with his latest Dewey Andreas novel, EYE FOR AN EYE. When Dewey uncovers the identity of a mole embedded at a high level in Israel's Mossad, it triggers a larger, more dangerous plot. Bookreporter.com's Joe Hartlaub talks to Coes about the inextricable relationship between political fiction and real-life politics. A former White House speechwriter, Coes has a wealth of insider knowledge, and shares his anxiety about the future of international relations --- especially considering the superstate into which China is developing itself. He also talks about the recent Snowden scandal, and what it means as far as the government's ability to become Big Brother in the future. But while the political frontier may seem grim, Coes's enthusiasm for writing fiction is boundless, and he reveals how he makes his characters and stories come to life.
Elizabeth Adler, the internationally bestselling author of over 25 novels, returns with her newest thriller, PLEASE DON'T TELL. When a blood-soaked stranger shows up on her doorstep one stormy night, Fen Dexter's quiet life is not only interrupted, but potentially put in grave danger. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Amy Gwiazdowski, Adler talks about how important the settings of her novels are --- and how traveling is her favorite kind of research! She also tells Amy why "likable" characters make the best protagonists, which of the delicious recipes from her books are pulled from real life, the perfect number of dinner party guests, and all the books in her to-read pile.

SHELBY, N.C. -- A Shelby car dealer stands to lose everything after his car lot was hit by vandals last week.
Earnest Aiken was still trying to recover after thieves burned down his first business center that was located right next door on East Dixon Boulevard.
Walking through his car lot, Dixon looks at the cars that had windows smashed and tires flattened.
"There's 17 windshields, front and back on a few, and 26 tires. I mean, the lot is completely destroyed," said Aiken.
It's the second time he's almost lost everything in less than a year. At the far end of the lot there is a concrete slab -- all that's left of his first business. He sold motorcycles until someone broke in last December, set the building on fire and stole the motorcycles.
The building and his life savings were all but gone.
"Everything that it took for us to build the building and put the business together, and then see it all completely destroyed in a matter of an hour or so," he said.
Aiken scraped together the money to start again, with a the car lot and a small furniture business. The catch was he could not get insurance, he claims, because police had not closed the original case, saying the investigation was ongoing.
Ten months had passed, the first case was still open and then vandals hit the car lot and Aiken said he will now have to pay the cost.
"We can never withstand something like this, " he said, shaking his head.
But Aiken said he is not ever going to give up.
"You know you have your doubts sometimes... but this is what I love, this is what I do."

Comments about Wakunaga of America Company Kyolic Formula 103 - 100 Capsules:
This is one of the best combination supplements we've tried for immune support. We take it when we've been exposed to viruses and flus and also if we get one, to help fight complications that may result like an infection in the sinuses after a bad cold. Like other immune boosters, you have to take it early to help fight off a virus which sometimes you may not be aware of until its too late. Overall it seems to help us as we are both exposed at work to many viruses, etc. I've recommended it to friends and family who also have reported good results. We've had no problems with digestion with this product.
It would get 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. Maybe we are getting what we've paid for LOL.

Rachel Maddow: MSNBC's Smart Hire
A look at what's making her successful
The ratings for MSNBC's newest news show host are wildly impressive. Last week, her second on the air, Rachel Maddow pulled ahead of Larry King and even bested Keith Olbermann's Countdown a couple of nights. Maddow, an Air America radio host and MSNBC contributor, was given her own show after the politics-heavy channel dropped Dan Abrams's legal show Verdict.
Here are a few things Maddow's doing that are good examples for anyone starting a new job:
Avoiding office gossip. She told the San Francisco Chronicle that she doesn't follow "media issues," when asked about the channel's move to cut Olbermann and Chris Matthews from straight election coverage.
Not giving up her private life. She also told the Chronicle that she does not own a television. It sounds crazy, but she explains: "If there is a TV on in the room, I can't have a conversation with you. I won't eat, I won't sleep. I'll just meld with my couch."
Breaking with tradition. She's hosting only one guest at a time. Last night, we heard one-on-one interviews with Newsweek's Michael Isikoff, Los Angeles Times columnist Rosa Brooks, and others. That's the point—we heard them.
Disagreeing openly but staying civil. Conservative Pat Buchanan has a regular segment on her show called "It's Pat." He and Maddow argue the issues, but they don't insult each other.

A History of Israel refutes many of today's common misconceptions about ancient Israel, and sets down a biblically-accurate account of its history, from the Patriarchal Age to the birth of Christ.
Written as a chronological history of Israel, the narrative is fascinating reading in itself. In every historical epoch, you examine the evidence and gain understanding through comprehensive explanations of current approaches to studying ancient history and common fallacies found in modern secular research. The reward is a mastery of the solid proofs for the historical authenticity of the Bible.
Bold and uncompromising, A History of Israel presents current archeological evidence that confronts scholarly works characterizing the history of ancient Israel as an "invention" designed to exclude or refute the biblical accounts. A History of Israel is a conservative, evangelically-grounded resource on which you can confidently rely to sharpen your own Old Testament research.

There are so many clichéd ways to illustrate how long it has been since X happened.
The price of gas. Who the president was. The No. 1 television show.
For the record: about $1.13, Bill Clinton and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" the last time the Buffalo Bills went to the playoffs.
But those examples are yawners compared to this one.
When the Bills were a playoff team, Steve Grogan was considered one of the 50 greatest NFL quarterbacks of all-time. That's right. An above-average passer with a neck roll.
One of my favorite analysts, Scott Kacsmar, found a top 50 quarterbacks list produced by NFL Films before the 1998 season. The Bills' last playoff appearance was for the 1999 season.
Some eyebrow-raisers made the cut, including Grogan at No. 50.
Four Bills quarterbacks were there, but probably not the ones you'd expect.
Jim Kelly was 15th. Daryle Lamonica was 41st. Jack Kemp was 42nd. Joe Ferguson was 47th.
Eight percent of the list started for the Bills. How about that?
Drew Bledsoe, then with the New England Patriots, didn't appear. Neither did Randall Cunningham, Ken O'Brien, former MVPs Brian Sipe or Earl Morrall, Steve Bartkowski or Jim McMahon.
Lackawanna native Ron Jaworski was 48th.
Ferguson was popular in Buffalo and led the NFL with 25 touchdown passes in 1975. But he twice led the league in interceptions and finished his career with 196 TDs and 209 picks.
Ferguson's career record as a starter was 79-92. He won a single playoff game despite throwing four interceptions.
At the time of this list, Bledsoe was a three-time Pro Bowler who'd led the NFL in completions twice and yards once while taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl.
Kacsmar posted the list for a Bleacher Report column that put Joe Flacco into an all-time context after signing the richest contract in NFL history.
Kacsmar used the 1998 NFL Films list as his baseline, factored all quarterbacks since then, used analysis to reconfigure and added another 14 names.
Flacco checked in at No. 53 and Bledsoe at No. 60.
Kelly slid to No. 19, with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady slotted ahead of him. Lamonica went to 43rd. Jaworski dropped to 61st.
Ferguson and Kemp dropped off the list.
Rest assured, so did Grogan.

Obama, Putin May Talk Syria at G-20 in Russia
U.S.-Russian relationship is frayed on multiple fronts.
Russias President Vladimir Putin welcomes President Barack Obama at the start of the G-20 summit on September 5, 2013 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The focus of world leaders gathered in St. Petersburg, Russia for the G-20 summit is supposed to be global economic issues, but the debate over how to respond to the alleged chemical weapon use in Syria is dominating the headlines.
[READ: Putin Pressures U.S. For Proof of Syrian Chemical Attacks]
President Barack Obama is not scheduled to meet with host Russian President Vladimir Putin since Russia agreed to harbor U.S. national security leaker Edward Snowden weeks ago. But Obama administration officials say there may be some opportunity for Putin, who remains unconvinced Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime executed the Sarin gas attack that left more than 1,400 dead, and Obama to informally discuss the issue.
"The past practice at these summits is you do end up having discussions on the margins of the meeting about other global security issues," said Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser, told reporters in a press briefing. "I certainly anticipate the president will have interactions with President Putin even as we don't have a formal meeting scheduled."
Following a preliminary stop in Sweden, Obama arrived at the G-20 in St. Petersburg Thursday morning, and like other world leaders was greeted by Putin. The two exchanged smiles and a handshake and chatted briefly, according to the White House pool report, before Obama entered Konstantinovsky Palace.
In addition to formal G-20 sessions and a working dinner with global leaders, Obama is scheduled to meet with LGBT groups while in Russia. Rhodes said Obama specifically wanted to show his support for the gay community in Russia as a result of recent anti-gay laws passed.
"Given our serious concerns with some of the recent laws that have been passed and restrictions on activity for gays and lesbians within Russia, we felt it was important to ensure that we were including their voices in a discussion with the president," Rhodes said.
[EXPERTS: U.S. Has Lost Tactical Advantage in Syria]
The high-profile event is rife with politics for Obama, who is struggling to garner support for U.S. air strikes in Syria both in the international community and at home. He has asked for congressional approval to move ahead with a targeted Syrian intervention, but faces a skeptical Congress and public opposition to such an effort.
But despite the current prickly nature of the U.S.-Russian relations, Rhodes said he's optimistic the two countries can continue to work together on issues where their interests more closely align.
"Even with the differences we've had – sharp differences on Syria – there's continued cooperation on nuclear security issues, on transit in Afghanistan, on counterterrorism and on global economic issues," he said.

A mail-order pair of red snowflake pajamas was among stolen items detectives said they found wrapped beneath the Christmas tree Wednesday of a suspect deputies dubbed the "San Pedro Grinch."
The package—which included a tag reading "To: Mom, Love: Michael"—was found in the home of San Pedro resident Michael Wieczorek, 42, who was arrested in connection with the package thefts, according to a news release from Sgt. Mark Moffett of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lomita Station.
The pajamas were reported stolen from an address on Nancy Road in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Other items in the home that matched those reported stolen were vacuum cleaners, jewelry, toys, an airsoft pellet rifle, blenders, clothing and cookware.
Detectives also found mail that had apparently been stolen from residents of Rolling Hills Estates, Torrance, Palos Verdes Estates, Long Beach, San Pedro, Carson, Los Angeles, Lakewood, Redlands, Temecula, Auburn, Murrieta and Bellevue, Wash.
"Especially disturbing was the numerous Christmas cards recovered among the stolen mail," Moffett wrote.
Additionally, detectives discovered "a plethora of instruments used to commit identity theft, including computers, credit card reading devices, counterfeit California Driver's licenses, altered checks and fraudulent income tax forms" in Wieczorek's home, according to Moffett.
"The evidence discovered (led) detectives to believe the suspect was filing tax returns using various victims' identities in order to steal their tax (refund)," Moffett wrote.
The investigation began when a package was stolen from the porch of a Rancho Palos Verdes home on Redondela Drive. It wasn't immediately clear from the news release how detectives came to suspect Wieczorek; however, when he was arrested, Wieczorek was in possession of narcotics, credit cards and identification that did not belong to him, as well as a Kershaw-brand knife that had been reported stolen from a residence on Nancy Road in Rancho Palos Verdes, Moffett said.
Wieczorek was released from custody after posting a $20,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Torrance Superior Court on Jan. 10, 2013.
The recovered property will be on display at the Lomita Sheriff's Station on Friday from noon to 2 p.m. People whose packages were stolen are welcome to see if they can identify their items. For more information about the recovered property showing, call Moffett or Detective David Peterson at 310-539-1661.
The Lomita Sheriff's Station is located at 26123 Narbonne Ave. in Lomita.
To prevent package theft, follow these tips from the U.S. Postal Service:
- Ask a friend or family member to pick up the pending packages.
- Ask the company delivering the package to hold it at the post office or delivery center.
- Have packages delivered at your place of work.
- Do not leave packages out for a lengthy amount of time; pick them up as soon as possible.

Tears streamed down Brandon Smith's face as he spoke about destroying a child's innocence and the "monster" he sees in the mirror.
Smith, 26, sexually assaulted a young boy near the Grand Traverse County Civic Center in October. He spoke for more than 10 minutes on Friday before Judge Philip E. Rodgers sent him to prison for a minimum of 25 years.
"I have thought long and hard trying to find the words — any words — to describe how sorry and remorseful I am to both my victim and his entire family," he said. "There is no possible or conceivable way anything I could say could ever even begin to make up for what I've done."
A boy, 8, said Smith watched him play at the Civic Center, then followed him into his apartment building across the street. Once in the building, Smith molested the boy. He pleaded guilty in December to a count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Smith said he fears — but is ready for — a prison term.
"The crime I have committed is undoubtedly the single worst act a person can commit against another person," he said. "And what makes it wicked, sick and heinous to an extreme is that I have done it to a young child."
Rodgers agreed with Smith about the immense impact on the victim.
"He will never be whole again," he said. "This is a life-altering event."
Chief Assistant Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg said the crime, which occurred near a busy playground and skate park, rattled local residents.
"This took away a sense of security in the community," she said.
Smith said he was molested as a child, but doesn't want to use that as an excuse. He committed an "act of evil, pure and simple," he said, that "drastically altered a young boy's perspective forever."
"He can no longer view the world in the same innocent way he did before me," he said. "I have taken that from him."
Rodgers acknowledged the cyclical nature of sex crimes, and said he hopes the young victim will receive intense counseling in the coming years so he can cope with what happened.
"His risk of standing where you are today, which did not exist before his encounter with you, now is greater than it would have otherwise been," he told Smith. "And arguably, if you had not been victimized yourself, you would not have taken the path that you did."
Smith has been down this road. In 2008, he was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct for groping a teen girl at Target in Garfield Township. He was sentenced to a short jail term and probation, but was sent to prison in June 2010 after he violated probation by having verbal contact with two young girls, court records show.
He was released from prison in November 2011, and was out for less than a year before he re-offended.
Smith no longer cares about his own future, he said, but hopes his victim can recover.
"I hope he lives a good and full life. I am sure he will make his family very proud," he said. "The last thing I wish him to know is that beauty and goodness of this world far outweighs the bad and the negative. It always has and it always will, so don't lose faith in that."

Rare Fish
Jerry L. Moss
Alabama is blessed with a natural diversity of freshwater fish, with more than 300 species of native freshwater fish living in state waters. Fourteen species of fish are only known to have lived within the borders of the State of Alabama. Some of the fish found in Alabama are so rare that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) classifies them as threatened or endangered; other fish have specialized habitats that require federal or state protection. Five species of fish have recently been the subject of special studies by the Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. The studied fish are the watercress darter, Alabama sturgeon, spring pygmy sunfish, pygmy sculpin, and slackwater darter.
Federally listed as endangered, the watercress darter was first known only at one limestone spring in Jefferson County's portion of the Black Warrior drainage. At one time, the range of the watercress darter probably extended into adjacent Black Warrior tributaries, but urban growth, water-use conflicts, industrial development, highway construction and water pollution likely have adversely impacted their population. Researchers have transplanted watercress darters to additional areas with some success. Watercress darters are now restricted to four small, cool-water springs with dense growths of aquatic vegetation that provide shelter from predators. Each separate habitat is less than a quarter acre. These areas are susceptible to alteration such as drought, vegetation removal, water removal, chemical spills, and siltation. Monitoring indicates that watercress darter populations have disappeared from two transplant sites and are declining at two sites, but they are doing well at two other sites.
Alabama sturgeon were once found in the Cahaba, Alabama, Black Warrior, and Tombigbee River systems. Construction of multi-purpose dams has reduced the historical range of this species by approximately 85 percent. The federal register currently lists the Alabama sturgeon as a "poorly known species;" however, the USFWS has proposed "endangered" status for this rare sturgeon [now listed as endangered]. Several years ago the Alabama Sturgeon Conservation Plan was implemented with the support of private organizations and various state and federal agencies. The Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries has taken the lead role in this recovery effort which includes the collecting, holding and spawning of adult sturgeon to produce young that can be stocked in areas of the state where they were historically found. Intense efforts of Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries personnel have led to the capture of four Alabama sturgeon in the past three years.
The spring pygmy sunfish was known from only heavily vegetated springs and spring pools within the Beaverdam Creek and Pryor Creek watersheds in Limestone County and Cave Spring Creek in Lauderdale County. When the Tennessee River was impounded, this species was feared extinct. Investigators recaptured it in 1973 during routine sampling of Beaverdam Creek. Spring pygmy sunfish require habitat with clear, cool spring water with little or no current. Heavily vegetated static spring pools are the most preferred habitat. Because this species is abundant where found, it is only afforded state protection.
The pygmy sculpin is another rare species only found in Alabama. This fish has federal protection as a threatened species because its habitat is limited only to spring runs and pools of Coldwater Spring in Calhoun County. The City of Anniston uses water from Coldwater Spring, thereby providing a measure of protection for the threatened sculpin through a cooperative agreement between the Anniston Water Works Department and the USFWS. The agreement prohibits any action that would be detrimental to the pygmy sculpin. Recent sampling by Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries personnel indicated pygmy sculpin populations are stable and even flourishing. Groundwater contamination from Anniston Army Depot and proposed highway construction projects present the greatest threats to this species. The Forever Wild program recently provided funding for the acquisition of the groundwater recharge area for this spring.
The slackwater darter is currently classified as threatened by the USFWS. Distribution is limited to the western portion of the Tennessee River drainage system in northern Alabama and western Tennessee. The slackwater darter prefers slow-moving sections of small- to medium-size creeks, particularly in areas where leaf litter and other organic debris accumulate. This darter is usually found in eddy or slow-moving sections of small creeks or streams, but it spawns in spring seepage areas. The Cypress Creek population in Lauderdale County is the most successful and widespread. Habitat for the slackwater darter is limited. Threats that adversely affect and decrease slackwater darter habitat include urban development, groundwater conflicts, small impoundment construction, road building and beaver dam proliferation. Scientists at the Geological Survey of Alabama monitored slackwater darter populations in northern Alabama to document population status and possible environmental threats to this species.
Alabama's threatened and endangered fish require special protection to preserve their limited populations and fragile habitats. Without such protection these unique fish could face extinction and disappear from our planet forever.

Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
In Apple's eternal cat and mouse game to control what you can and can't run on your iOS device, score another one for the mice.
On Monday a team of hackers that calls themselves the evad3rs released evasi0n, the first jailbreak program that works for the iPhone 5, as well as the iPad 4, the iPad mini, and the most modern version of every other iOS device, and allows users to remove all of Apple's installation restrictions on their phone or tablet in minutes.
In its first six hours online, the crack had already been used at least 800,000 times, according to Jay Freeman, administrator of the Cydia appstore for jailbreakers, and he says that's a conservative estimate–his count was fouled up when the tsunami of traffic knocked his server offline several times over the course of the jailbreak's first day online. By Tuesday his count was up to 1.7 million.
With every new Apple device and every upgrade to its mobile operating system, the maze of anti-hacking measures built into the iPhone and iPad become more tortuous, and the game of defeating them becomes more elaborate. Evasi0n is no exception: According to David Wang, one of the evad3rs' four developers, the program takes advantage of at least five distinct, new bugs in iOS's code. (For reference, that's one more than Stuxnet, the malware built by the NSA to destroy centrifuges in Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities.)
I asked Wang to walk me through how evasi0n works, step by step. Here's what he told me.

Hello Andy
Two comments about the article.
1) You said that the jailbreak works with the iPad 3 when I believe you meant the iPad 4 as this is the latest iPad and was previously unjailbreakable by the public
2) You describe the jailbreak as a crack when I think you meant hack as a crack is the removal of DRM from software where as a hack is simply any modification of software or hardware.
Also what's up with having to switch to the desktop version of the website to leave a comment and even then the commenting system being very difficult to use? I had to reply to this already existing comment in order to even comment…

With school districts across Long Island reviewing security procedures following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, some experts feel continual communication coupled with using technology are key to keeping students safe.
On Wednesday, more than 90 school officials, including representatives from Commack School District, gathered at a forum at the Hilton Long Island in Melville to discuss security measures and best practices related to school districts.
Michael Balboni, former state senator and head of the Homeland Security Department for New York, stressed the importance of communication and innovation.
"The strategies we adopt must be scalable, must be sustainable, must be flexible and must be cost-effective within the resources we have. There are fiscal realities to our school systems," he said.
While financial constraints are an issue for school districts across Nassau and Suffolk counties, security experts feel the Sandy Hook incident should provide motivation for local districts to review security plans.
"If you haven't done a safety audit in quite some time, now is the time to do it," said Tom Rogers, superintendent of Nassau BOCES.
Don Flynn, a retired New York City police officer who now serves as a school safety and security officer, said school districts should make sure all personnel from the superintendent to grounds workers, custodians and the cafeteria staff have a clear understanding of security measures.
"It's not the job of solely a superintendent. We have to make sure everyone is part of the plan. Sometimes we fall short," he said. "The training is critical."
He encouraged districts to review their security plans regularly and drill them with staff prior to school opening. Flynn also suggested holding fire drills and evacuation drills early in the year with students.
Balboni and David Antar, president of A+ Security and Technology Solutions, said school district's security plans should start with establishing a perimeter around their buildings. One way to accomplish this is by installing a security booth in a building's parking lot entrance, which can double as a secondary command post in case of a building evacuation.
Antar said some school districts have license plate recognition software that identifies parents and contractors' vehicles.
He said the next step for schools should be installing video surveillance along the perimeter of the building and the interior of the building. Antar said a high percentage of Long Island school districts have cameras, but either not enough or the wrong type.
"Sometimes we see four cameras in a building and it's not enough, or they have analog cameras, and there's no way to discern who the person is," Antar said.
Flynn said Nassau BOCES plans to start offering its partner schools centralized monitoring including detecting and surveillance monitoring.
"Districts with access to the Internet can have them monitored from a central location," he said. "We think we can do this monitoring very inexpensively because we do have a central location and it creates access to funding streams that exist through the state from BOCES."
Benefits of centralized monitoring and surveillance of schools would include ability to work closely with local police departments in case of a threat, providing remote access to cameras and a floor plan layout that would speed police response, Flynn said.
Other security options suggested included student ID cards, a visitor management system, including check-in with background checks, having access control to a building by being able to electronically lock doors and placing duress alarms in each classroom.
Alan Groveman, superintendent of Connetquot Central School District, said his district implemented many of these procedures after a Connetquot student's plot to shoot administrators, teachers and students was discovered.
While technology is important, he emphasized constant vigilance and action.
"This is about attitude. It's about being aware that people are the threat. It's not a car bomb, not a gun or a canister of mace" Groveman said.
Flynn said mental health issues play a huge role in security as only approximately one-in-five students who needs help gets served, the others get suboptimal psychological assistance.
Given the complexity of issues at work, school administrators were encouraged to look at their districts to take appropriate action. Sayville Public Schools has consulted with FBI experts, while Riverhead Central School District has a security guard in each building.
"There is no one size fits all. Find what works in your community," Balboni suggested.

NCEAS Project 11081
Optimal design of population monitoring programs
- David M. Marsh
|Further Information
|Sabbatical Fellow
|10th November 2006—9th August 2007
|Participant List
Population monitoring data are critical for identifying threatened, recovering, or invasive species and for modeling population dynamics. The ultimate value of monitoring data, however, is highly dependent on the quality of the monitoring program. While numerous studies have evaluated the power of monitoring programs for specific populations, few general rules exist for how to optimally allocate monitoring effort. The optimal allocation of monitoring effort should depend on general characteristics of a species¿¿¿ life-history (e.g. fecundity and longevity) and on statistical aspects of population dynamics (e.g. spatial and temporal variation and autocorrelation). Therefore, it should be possible to develop general guidelines for the optimal design of monitoring programs based on measurable population parameters. I propose to use simulation models to derive general, quantitative guidelines for the design of population monitoring programs. Specifically, my research will address the following questions: 1) What aspects of life-history or population dynamics determine the optimal monitoring strategy for a given population? 2) What amount of baseline data is necessary to choose an appropriate population monitoring strategy? 3) If an existing monitoring program is poorly designed, when is it optimal to start over with a better program? The answers to these questions will provide rigorous and practical guidelines for the design of monitoring strategies and should lead to improved assessments of population trends and processes.

Need to file a report with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office? Don't leave your house.
Sheriff Greg Taylor is reminding county residents that they do make house calls, and in fact, the process is beneficial for both the officers and residents filing a report.
"We have patrol deputies assigned to specific areas in the county to respond to the needs of our citizens," Taylor explained. "As much as possible, I require the deputies to stay in their areas of assignment in the county so they can be visible, deter crime and respond to our citizens' needs when they arise."
In order to keep those officers on the street, the sheriff is asking that those who need to make a report of a crime or incident remain at their residence, business or wherever the incident occurred.
"This would allow my deputies to remain in their areas of assignment and more quickly respond to your needs," he said. "This would also save fuel, which saves tax dollars, and improve response times.
"I realize there are going to be exceptions, but as a general rule I would appreciate your cooperation."
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office is located at 1200 E. Lacy St. in Palestine.
For more information or to file a report, call the ACSO at 903-729-6068.

Pours a deep amber color with a light brown foamy head.
The beer smells very sweet, lots of malt and nutty flavors .
The big taste to this brew is sweet nutty malt. There are some fruity characteristics, and a slight hop bite at the end of the sip.
Mouthfeel is good, nice carbonation, but not too much. The beer is fairly thick, and hearty, but goes down easy.
Overall this beer is definately drinkable. Scotch ale isn't a style I've had much exposure to, so I dont really have anything to compare it to, but I know that I liked it, and this brew might lead me to try other scotch ales.

Pretty good beer, but really, it's somewhere between an Amber and a Scottish. Dark amber colored liquid with a good head. Malty with some spice. The flavor and aroma are rather malt-forwardly sweet. There just isn't quite enough flavor from caramelization for a good Scottish ale, so the beer turns out just a tad drab for my tastes. The feel is fairly thick for a beer of this strength. I prefer clean, hoppy Ambers for general drinking, so I can't say that I'd buy more. However, this is still a pretty good beer and I wouldn't turn down a free one.

Had a bottle left over from a mixed twelve pack. I had been sitting in my fridge for a while so I decided to crack it open. Poured an amber color with a decent head and lacing. Smell is sweeter than I thought it would be. Taste was much more complex than I was anticipating. Bready and sweet. Not your typical watered-down amber ale. Very drinkable. Another good one from Great Divide.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: From the bottle, this pours as a medium caramel color. The head is medium in thickness and disipates fairly quickly. Lacings are plentiful and adhere well to the glass. Faint cloudiness was observed.
Smell: The aroma is fairly light hop with yeast overtures. Pleasant and has an "ale" feel.
Taste: Taste has a medium flavor curve with hops detected continually through until end of sustain. There is a hops jump early which discipates after a few seconds. This brew has a nice touch on the palate.
Mouthfeel: The flavor is rich. It blends well on the palate. No heavy alcohol presence. Enjoyable and pleasant. Great job. Being a homebrewer, I would be pleasantly happy if this was the result of one of my batches.
Drinkability: Light but not "fluffy". A very nice brew tht left me wishing I had more.
Conclusions" This is a great selection for either a drinking session or for hosting. The microbrewery feel is evident and welcomed. Great brew. Recommended.
ps. if anybody has a hombrew recipe for this I would appreciate you sending it to me. Kisses.

A solid brewer. Pours a real nice hazy amber color topped with some head but not a lot. There is some lacing pretty much all the way through though. Fruity, mild hop aroma. The flavor is a very nice malt and hop balance. Slightly fruity. Not much of an aftertaste, perhaps a mild bitter malt character. Very easy to drink. I am seldom enamored with this type of beer but this is quite good.

This brew pours an amber color, quite clear, and has a decent light tan head. The nose has some mildly sweet malts and herbal hops. The flavor structure has sweet pale malts up front with some hidden floral hops. The medium body is clean and drinks well. A good session beer, but not very Scottish.

Single, 12 oz bottle copped from Super Saver in Somerville for $1.79...
Pours a murky, amber-tan colored hue with a modest sized foamy and frothy head that left quite a bit of lacing around the head of the glass...
Very malty, scotchy aroma with obvious grains and a strong earthiness coming through...
Taste likewise was extremely rich and thick with a strong malt backbone along with caramel, sugars, and vanilla essences...
Decent mouthfeel coupled with a good level of drinkability, but nothing above-and-beyond, and certainly not Great Divide's best sample...

12 oz. brown bottle poured into Sam Adams "pint" glass. Part of a six-pack I purchased. Bottled on 4th week of Feb. with year unknown. Strange way of dating since the year is very important.
Appearance: muddled orange body with soapy off-white head. Lines of carbonation dance off the bottom of my glass. Sediment and debris are in suspension. I'm starting to believe this may be an old bottle.
Smell: caramel sweetness, butterscotch and old oxidized booziness.
Taste: sweet caramel with an underlying wet cardboard. Bitter hops and metallic taste and once again, oxydized booziness.
Mouthfeel: medium body with slight overcarbonation, astringent hop bitterness and no balance whatsoever.
Drinkability: I believe this was possibly old stock, but there's no way to know without understandable dating. Too many things seemed out of place and out of style. Will try again when I know it's fresh.

Another treasure from Great Divide, this seems mis-categorized as a Scottish Ale. Rather, it's more a very malty Amber but better than most I've had. Like so many other offerings from Great Divide, this is a gem.
Two fingers of off-white froth top a slightly cloudy brown-orange body, with ample lacing adorning the pint glass--delightful. The nsoe is really malty, much more than I expected, full of caramel and molasses, and hops as well. Same with the taste, striking a fine balance between malt and hops. Malt wins out in Ridgeline, but the presence and taste of hops are unmistakable. Richly coating the tongue, malt and hops make for a fine double-team, more creamy than gritty. Excellent.
I am admittedly not a big fan of Amber Ale, or Scottish for that matter. This is truly terrific, and one well worth grabbing a sixer for immediately enjoyment or storage. Great Divide continues to move up my list of favorite breweries.

Poured from a bottle to a mug. This one has a bright orange color and a thick, cloudy consistency. Poured a big head and some lacing.
There's a sharp, fruity aroma here, along with some malt. Very tangy.
The taste was solid. Malts, spices, a light fruit tinge (orange?) gives a it a decent complexity. Not as strong on the finish as I would like.
There's a nice amount of carbonation here. Like I said, the finish could be a little stronger. Not a bad mouthfeel, though.
Overall, this a very solidly constructed beer. Its pluses definitely outweigh its minuses.

T - sort of an allspice/cinamon initial taste, really great, sweet malt comes through obviously, caramel is there as well, really enjoyable
M - medium light body, good carbonation
D - wow, this is really tasty! Great Divide does it again and again! Would totally order/buy/drink again. Definitely check it out.

Pours a gorgeous amberish copper color, with a nice thick off white decent lasting head with lacing. Smell is more of hops and some malts to back it, and is very nice, fragrant, and balanced. Taste is initially a subtle hop bitter bite, and finishes with a deliciously slight sweet maltiness. Nothing is overpowering and it is a very well balanced beer. My only complaint is that I wish it were a touch more carbonated as it would be even more refreshing and with a touch more bite. As is though, its very easy drinking, smooth, almost creamy and great balanced simplicity all around.

According to the label, this beer was bottled during the 3rd week of April.
a: Hazy amber body, thin white head. Typical retention. Little to no lacing.
s: Caramel malt, sweet and nutty.
t: Nutty with notes of caramel and maple syrup. Just a touch of hops for balance. A bit biscuity after it warmed.
m: Medium body. Creamy. Clean. Smooth.
d: As the bottle suggests, this is an accessible brew. Not too complex, easy to drink. It's enjoyable, but nothing special.

Pours a dark golden with a thin head and no lacing. Smells very malty with maple and sugar in the background. The taste is light and slightly bitter. The finish is slightly metallic and has some sweetness. Overall the flavors are relatively fresh and balanced. The mouthfeel is somewhat tame. Light and simple and easy to drink. Nothing exciting here, but well made.

One finger tan-yellow head over a minimally cloudy brown-copper liquid. Streamers race to the top. Smells oranges and iron. Not much here.
Tastes biscuity malt, but then I realize that may be hop flavor instead. Fruity and drying weedy. Not co-humulone grassy, but cheesy weedy. Wet on the pull, but dry finish from the hops. Tastes like williamette with some other hop chiming in. Malt flavor is subtly blended into the hop flavor. Balanced and well crafted, aside from the cheesy hops. Touch of metallic tinge. Md body and strong carbonation. Worked will with the flavors.

Turning 5 bedroom into 4 bedroom
Hello all
We are in the process of purchasing a 5 bedroom/2 bath cape. The house is already dormered upstairs with 3 bedrooms and a bath.
The 2 bedrooms on the first floor are where we are contemplating something. We are thinking of turning the 2 bedrooms into one and adding a big walk in closet, since there isn't a huge closet in any of the rooms (the house was built in 1948)
My concern is the value of the house if we go to sell it one day. I'm concerned that people may not like having just one bedroom on the first floor or they like all of the kids on the upstairs floor. Or the fact that its now just a 4 bedroom house.
Do you think it's a good idea to turn those 2 bedrooms into 1? Will it be less attractive someday? Is this considered a nice upgrade?
Thanks, looking forward to everyone's responses.
Depending on your market and the square footage of the house I would take it a step further. I would make it into a true master suite on the first floor. Depending on where the bathroom is located I would convert it into a 1/2 bath and convert the 2 bedrooms into a master with walk in closet and full master bath.
If not feasible to convert the existing first floor bath into a 1/2 I would skip the tub in the master bath and put in a very nice shower.
I don't know your budget or what is most popular where you live but a 4 bdr with 3 baths is much more sellable here.
Fun and Info
The house is approximately 1500 sqft on a 10,000 sqft lot (a quarter of an acre). I'm on Long Island, NY. We were originally looking for 3bdr 1-2 bath houses, but this one just happened to be a great bang for the buck. I've only briefly looked around our neighborhood and it seems to vary. I will have to research more.
I never thought about having a master suite, since the bathroom is right next to the bedrooms already. It's something to think about, but that would be a big budget item.
Ultimately, its going to be a long term project, since we are just getting into the house and will need to save up for these things (along with tearing down the wall between the kitchen and living room to have a fully open concept house). There's so many upfront costs when purchasing a house that you never think about.
I think you have the right idea - one project at a time. You have a perfectly functional bathroom and you can make the changes as you go along. At 1500 sq ft I think a great master suite would be a good selling point down the road.
Good luck and keep us posted as you go along.
Fun and Info
Thank you! I will
okellies, First, Welcome to the Real Estate Boards where you will find many, many opinions (some directly opposite from others) but all well meant.
I completely agree with Charming to take each project one at a time. For myself, a 1500 sf house with 5 bedrooms says that the bedrooms must be quite small indeed, so I think turning two into one with a nice closet might be an excellent idea even if there is no money or room to include a master bathroom.
The feasibility of it not being a budget breaker down the road will be the floor plan of the first floor. If it is like my SIL's first home, a cape probably smaller than your house, is the location of the existing bathroom. Her bathroom was not well located to make the best use of combining to two rooms. If your floor plan works better you can always rough in the space when you get to the bedroom changes to do the work down the road.
Fun and Info
The downstairs bedrooms are definitely small. Two of the rooms upstairs are quite large, one of them even has a walk in closet! My better half had even suggested the master be upstairs, but I'm not into the master on the second floor. :P
An owners suite on the first floor is a big selling point here,as this suite is also requested for baby boomer parents, or inlaw suite, who may not be able to walk the stairs. Be careful about the bathroom as this plan calls for at least a 1/2 bath in the hall and a full bath in the owner's suite, ideally.
It's funny you mention that since I had thought about the future in case my better half's parents need a place to stay and can't walk the stairs.
The bathroom would be the tricky thing, if we decide to do that particular project in the future.

Landau said it was inspiring watching Burton during the creation of "Frankenweenie" because he knew how much the film meant to his friend and colleague.
"Stop-motion animation is so hands-on as opposed to computers -- you have to move the characters 24 times for one second of film -- and Tim was very hands on with this film," Landau said. "It was really a labor of love for him. He never lost his incentive to make this film. He was a kid at Cal Arts and went on to work at Disney, where he made the live-action short. But it never fulfilled his vision. And now, he's made the movie the way he wanted to after 28 years. It's terrific."
Without question, "Frankenweenie" is Tim Burton's definitive monster movie, presented in glorious black-and-white, and accented with shadows and light that made those films in the '30s, '40s and '50s so iconic. In the end, the filmmaker couldn't be any more grateful to have had the opportunity to recapture the atmosphere of the days where the names Karloff, Lugosi and Chaney lit up the marquees.
"To be able to have those monsters in black-and-white made it feel like I was going back in time," Burton enthused. "I was making the things that inspired me."

Treatment For Dogs With Recurrent Cutaneous Plasmacytomas
Surgery is the treatment of choiceif the tumor can be completely removed with "clean" margins, then no further treatment is necessary. If surgery cannot completely eliminate the tumor, radiation therapy can be used to eradicate the residual cells, as these tumors are very radiation sensitive. Very rarely, cutaneous plasmacytomas might be associated with the systemic form of the disease, known as multiple myeloma. In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells invade the bone marrow and produce large quantities of abnormal proteins. This form of the disease carries a poor prognosis, but as mentioned earlier, is very rarely associated with the benign cutaneous form of the disease.
