Endeavor is a game about a dwarf trying to uncover an ancient secret. Or maybe it's about exploring, climbing, and swimming. Or perhaps it's about collecting powerups and treasure. Or possibly it's just about killing things.
With multiple endings, quests, interactive npcs and ambient critters, it's my most involving game yet! It features many original musical tracks, several upgrades, and an engaging climbing and endurance scheme.
Left/Right arrows to move
X to jump
Up/Down arrows to climb
P to pause and display collections
C to advance text
Q to return to the title screen (Use this if the game gets stuck for some reason!)
Volume controls:
-/+ to adjust volume
0 to mute
This game was made in one month for the Ludum Dare October challenge, though it took another month for release!
If you like this game, be sure to check out some other AWESOME games that inspired me!
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Level Up!
-Robot Wants Kitty
You can find a full map of the game at

(Remove the two spaces in the link to get it to work... I'm not sure why it's doing that!)
Feel free to pm me with any comments or questions you have!
Note: Once you've reached an ending, you won't be able to get a different ending without restarting the game. Don't worry, getting the other endings is much faster when you know where everything is!
Update: Some people are getting lag whenever they touch a flower- this is due to an auto-save feature that I've decided to remove (note that the game still autosaves whenever you collect a powerup or switch screens, just not on touching flowers anymore). I've submitted the latest version which should get approved soon, so bear with me! Thanks for playing!
Update 12/2: There seems to be a bug with running out of endurance underwater and getting trapped in air bubbles. I'm working on fixing it! If this happens, press Q to return to the main menu, and then reload your save file.
Update 12/3: Patched to fix the underwater bug, pressing escape now pauses AND unpauses. Added tip menu screen to press p to see collections. Also added an additional creature on the island above the light beam. Hopefully the update goes live soon!
Update 12/11: Added a link to a full map of the game, see above!

Garlic: Food of the Week
Every day this week make garlic your Spartan Food of the Day. Spartan wants to help you work on getting wholesome raw food ingredients into your diet, so we've put together this crash course in all things garlic for you. Buy it on Sunday, and utilize it all week. Good diets come from good dietary planning. And from having a Spartan Race on the calendar. Sign up today.
Garlic 101
Garlic is a vegetable (Allium sativum) that belongs to the same class of bulb-shaped plants as onions, chives, leeks, and scallions. Used as a seasoning, its bold flavor drastically enhances any dish with its signature and definitively potent taste. Most people learn to love it, or learn to hate it. Outside of culinary uses, garlic is often used for medicinal purposes.
The garlic cloves are the most utilized part of the plant. These are the fleshy sections clustered beneath the papery skin. However, other parts of the garlic plant are edible. The plant's leaves, flowers, and head (spathe) can be eaten, and have a milder flavor than the cloves.
For thousands of years, garlic has been a staple in the human diet. By some estimates, we've been digging up garlic for over 7000 years.
Medicine Uses
Originating in middle Asia, the Chinese, Japanese, and Egyptians were using garlic to treat illnesses as early as 3700 BC. In ancient India, garlic was a valued remedy. It was used as a tonic to cure lack of appetite, weakness, cough, skin disease, and rheumatism. In ancient Greece, garlic was used by the military. Army leaders would give it to their soldiers as a dietary supplement, the goal being to keep these men in optimal fighting condition through the powers of garlic. The Greeks referred to garlic as 'the rustic's cure-all'.
However, ancient uses of garlic don't mean squat without some science to back it up. Is there any hard evidence that garlic is good for you?
Yes, and there are many reasons why. Modern science has pointed to health benefits attributable to garlic consumption.
Cholesterol control – In contemporary research, garlic has been linked to lowering cholesterol in individuals. In one study, garlic lowered LDL cholesterol by 10% in hypercholesterolemic men compared with subjects consuming a placebo.[1]
Reduced free radicals – Garlic prevents free radical generation. Free radicals play a role in biological processes which cause aging effects and oxidization in cells.
Antioxidant and Antihypertensive support – The antioxidative and antihypertensive effects of garlic were observed in 20 patients with hypertension compared to 20 patients with normal blood pressure. The results revealed decreased levels of blood pressure, nitric oxide, and lipid peroxidation in the individuals who ate garlic. These individuals also had higher levels of the antioxidative vitamins C and E.[2]
Cancer prevention -The National Cancer Institute website has a very comprehensive analysis of garlic that discusses its potential cancer prevention attributes, specifically regarding cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
Kills germs – Garlic is naturally antiseptic and can be used as a quality mouthwash, that is, when oral hygiene trumps concerns of having bold breath. This antiseptic quality surely played into the usefulness of garlic in antiquity, and is still applicable today, if the need to kill bacterias and fungi should arise and, for whatever reason, you only have garlic handy.
Nutritional Information
Garlic isn't really going to keep you alive if it's all you eat. It is not nutritionally dense with only 4 calories per 1 teaspoon serving. Its power comes from its strong flavor, which is related to another interesting quality – a high sulfur content. Garlic also contains arginine, flavonoids, and selenium.
How to Select Garlic
When stored at room temperature, garlic can last a long time. Knowing this, wait till it's on sale, or you are at your favorite farm stand, and stock up. If garlic is being sold by the bulb, obviously select the biggest ones you can find. This will not only increase the value you get, but make the garlic cloves easier to peel. Otherwise, look for plump and firm bulbs. You want the paper-like skin to be intact and dry, not spongy or shriveled.
Remember once you break open a garlic bulb and separate it into cloves, the lifetime and nutritional value of that garlic starts to decrease at a much faster rate.
Many people choose to buy garlic already minced in jars. This is preserved garlic and not to be confused with fresh garlic. Click here to learn how to mince your own garlic.
Garlic can also be obtain in other forms. You can find it rendered as essential oil, powder, and extract.

How to Prepare Garlic
The garlic cloves are the most utilized part of the plant. These are the fleshy sections clustered beneath the papery skin. However, other parts of the garlic plant are edible. The plant's leaves, flowers, and head (spathe) can be eaten, and have a milder flavor than the cloves.
When confronted with how to ingest garlic, there are many avenues to pursue. Regardless of you use it, your dish will suddenly take on garlic's signature flavor. Like in exercise, start off slow and increase your amount of garlic per serving as you understand its workings better.
The complete Spartan catalog of garlic recipes is here.
Eat It Raw
Many people will eat garlic raw, especially when they feel they want the medicinal kick of garlic to fight an oncoming or already present cold. Eating garlic raw will ensure you keep all the many compounds inside intact and at full strength. This takes a strong stomach but can be done. Spartan Founder Joe De Sena swears by it and will dispense out a serving of raw garlic to anyone who mentions feeling sick.
Whether or not there is any real benefit to eating raw garlic is certainly up for debate. We cover more about the medical properties of garlic here. The anti-sceptic quality of garlic is surely only going to help, much like using a mouth wash as a means to kill germs.
So, the next time you are cooking with garlic, take a nibble. Just don't do this on an empty stomach, that's for certain. And don't underestimate the intensity you might just unleash in your mouth.
Saute It
Sauteing garlic is the most common method. You can grill it right up in some olive or coconut oil and combine with most meats and vegetables.
Bake the entire bulb to create your own garlic paste. From making hummus to using it as a spread on bread, vegetables, or meats, the baked garlic paste you get is a powerful tool to have in your cooking arsenal.
How to Mince Garlic
There is a reason people tend to buy minced garlic. You can always find it readily available in the supermarket right next to the fresh garlic. Why? Because mincing your own garlic each time a recipe calls for it takes time.
But don't' resort to the easy way out. Learn how to mince your own garlic. Then you can schedule a garlic mincing workout, where you mince and store all the garlic you will need to get through the next few days.
Step 1: Use your hand and wrist strength to break apart garlic bulb into individual cloves.
Step 2: Lay the flat side of a large knife against a whole garlic clove. With the palm of your hand, smash the clove between the knife's flat side the cutting board. Exercise caution. The garlic clove inside the papery shell can be removed easily now. This is an alternative to peeling the garlic clove.
Step 3: Take your garlic cloves and chop them into thin slices in one direction. Then chop those slices into smaller pieces by cutting perpendicularly to your last series of knife strokes.
Step 4: Store minced garlic in an air-tight container. Though fresh garlic is best (and most powerful), garlic will keep for a few days this way.

Yes very interesting.
Will someone please donate their iPad 2 to ifixit so they can dissect this thing and give the people the truth.
I don't know about this...
It has also been speculated that since the A8 isn't inherently able to work in a multi processor environment and the A9 is, it would be reasonable to believe that Apple just put an underclocked A9 in there. They do have a history of underclocking processors to get better battery life, and it would probably be cheaper for them to put a single A9 in than try to rework the A8 to support multi processor environments.
But, as was said upthread, we'll just have to wait for ifixit to do their thing.
Seems strange I thought the graphics were on the same chip as the CPU so with 2 chips would that mean the graphics will be in sli mode lol
The only dual-core A8 design out there that I'm aware of is Qualcomm's, so I guess it's possible that Apple "copied" them for the SoC this time around instead of Samsung like they did with the A4.
Not that it matters much anyway.
first we hear there are questions about the memory in the ipad 2 now we hear there is a mystery surrounding the processor(s)
sound like some left over hardware apple had laying around so they decided to throw it into an ipad body along with a few modifications and call in an ipad 2.
damn, Im so glad I never had any intentions of buying neither the ipad nor the ipad "2"
only reason your happy with that block of crap is what? because i know its not the Os running on it...android is ok but not EVEr getting close to any iOs....is it the ports? ur a port lover? ur gonna charge something on those ports while u charge the adam? double charging huh....thats smart...i own android devices and have to say...ANDROID is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo none user friendly and it feels bootleg after messing with an iOs device. my evo was just bought for 4G tethering...nothing more nothing less.
Well, if it IS an underclocked A9...
Would there be a way to reclock, or overclock it? I know Apple will not give us a way, but could it be done within the JB community? Or is this something that would require a new bootrom/flashing the chip itself?
I would give up 2 hours or so of battery, for the faster speed, and I know I'm not the only one.
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
The author's premise rests on an assumption that the batteries in the iPad and iPad 2 are the same. Where's that documented?
When steve sayd it and mr cook. And everyone else did. At 10hour. Same as iPad. Smh.
Something to keep in mind from a technical perspective is that unlike desktop processors from 5-10+ years ago, modern mobile (and extending up into desktop) processors are very good at using very little power when they're not under load.
Think about it this way, if you're watching a movie, and for every 10 seconds you watch, your processor has to wake up for 4 seconds to decode the movie, then it can go back to sleep (a crude approximation, but it works). Now if you have a dual core processor made on a newer, smaller manufacturing process, you may be able to decode that same 10 seconds of video in only 2 seconds, using only 75% of the power that the old chip used to do it in 4 seconds.
Feel free to replace decoding a video with rendering a web page, an email, a PDF, whatever. Even if the CPU uses more power in bursts, if it gets the job done faster it can go back to sleep and let the user absorb the information. Now this means in turn that the user has less down time waiting for the device to respond, and is able to perform more tasks and use more cumulative processing power over time. This offsets the power savings of the smaller process (and whatever other improvements they've made) and apparently nets a similar life from a similar battery.
shouldn't it be called the A16

Over the year, total nonfarm employment rose by about 2.0 million.
In March, construction employment rose sharply, following a large decline in the prior month. A sizable job gain also occurred in general merchandise stores in March, and job growth continued in health care and in food services.
Manufacturing employment continued to trend down over the month.
These data are from the BLS Current Employment Statistics program, and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent two months are preliminary. More information can be found in "The Employment Situation: March 2007" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 07-0486.

For the better, of course!!
Over two years later, my passion for sharing the good bits of travelling downunder in the wonderful land of OZ is still going strong. So strong, it sometimes spills over into other blogs and forums!
Here's where I've been seen (most recent first):
Journey Jottings
My Journey Jottings Aussie Odyssey post. Only problem was getting round to it ... By the time I DID, it was April, so my 2013 Joining the Dots with Journey Jottings post covered 6 HOT places in 5 OZ states I'd been in the last 12 months!
Carnamah Historical Society Blog
All Roads lead to George
Explore Australia
It was an honour to write another guest post for Explore Australia. As if they hadn't already had enough punishment! Being a seeker of solitude made finding 5 Summer Beaches away from the Crowds too easy - because I'd already done the research!!
Glove Box Blog
It was my privilege to be interviewed by the fabulous Fiona for Argus Car Hire's travel blog. The Glove Box Interview regularly features travel bloggers and writers - and I used the opportunity to plug Australia to the max! Take the link to my Glove Box Interview to answer that pressing question: Do I, or do I NOT give good interview?!?!?!
City Daily Photo
The Sydney Eye was kind enough to encourage me to join the City Daily Photo community AND be interviewed for her 'In Focus' feature! Oddly enough, she makes specific mention of the necessity for editing out exclamation marks ... weird, huh! Not everyone appreciates how much of a heavy burden being the Exclamation Mark Queen can be!! Read the Introduction, then go to the Detail if you DARE!
Get in the Hot Spot
5 Hottest Travel Spots in Outback OZ to show the rest of the world how RED Australia can get! But I went one better and wrote a companion piece on my blog highlighting the 5 Cool BLUE OZ Top Spots! Read them both, and decide for yourself what's best!!
Explore Australia
I can't thank the Explore Australia team enough for giving me the chance to tell the world what's wrong with my blog! But you can avoid my mistakes - all you have to do is read Confessions of a Tween-Age Travel Blogger!!
|Infinity Pool, Cairns
What a thrill to be asked for an article about a perfect day in Australia by predominantly US-based site 52 Perfect Days! But how to choose just one perfect destination from OZ?
I settled on Cairns, Far North Queensland for A Perfect Day Up North Downunder!
|Poddy Creek Free Camp, Outback QLD
In 2011, I was nominated for the Explore Australia Road Trippers Hall of Fame award AND ended up a finalist! Explore Australia interviewed me for their blog:
Interview Part 1: We chatted with Red Nomad OZ ...
Interview Part 2: Travel Tips and Favourite Spots
|Red on Red, Windorah, Outback QLD
Inspiring, intrepid and intriguing traveller Annabel Candy featured Amazing Australian Adventures in her blog post - 25 Australian Travel Blogs and Bloggers to Watch in 2012!
|Recording the trip on my Map Journal
I LOVE Journey Jottings uniquely Australian map journals and other products, and I've seen them in some weird and wonderful places! Linda published my guest post My Journey Jottings Aussie Odyssey listing some of the interesting spots I saw her products in 2011.
|Red Outback Road, Windorah, QLD
I was honoured to be featured on Jim's wonderful Holes in my Soles blog - My FavouRED Things #2 coincided with a colour theme! RED Rocks!!
|Not BBQ, but char-grill is close enough!
When I first encountered hockey wife Texa's blog, she was living in Germany with Canadian hubby. Her Frackin' Friday posts were required reading for her international audience to learn cuss words and slang from many different languages - even more when she moved to Finland! Here's my contribution - Aussie Barbecue slang!!
|Windmill, Thargomindah
I've learned a lot about how other people see Australia from non-Aussie Michela's excellent Australian travel blog.
So I was honoured that she published my guest post about possibly the ultimate 'Australian' destination - Thargomindah!

My first ever guest post - and it just HAD to be part of my Australian Scenic Public Toilet series!! Weirdly, blogger Stuart seemed to like what I revealed the mysteries of the Thargo Thunderbox! And it stopped me from having #13 on MY blog ...

Creating unique spaces: Hidden inside every space is the potential for calmness, warmth, productivity, or energy. The shapes, colors, light exposure and overall layout of a room can set the mood for the happenings inside of it. Interior designers must be able to envision what is hidden inside a space to capitalize on its unique features.
Whether a space needs to be enhanced or redesigned from scratch, a good Interior Designer will be able to create a uniquely defined ambiance that caters to the functional requirements of the space - and they must do so while working within the budgetary constraints and the imagination of clients.
NCC's Interior Design program includes a broad range of courses that will provide students with communication skills as well as an architectural history background, and graphics presentation and lighting design skills.
Each of the four semesters of the program focuses on a specific set of skills that students will take with them to a four-year institution or into the workforce. Presentation and structure are covered in the middle of the program, with design studio experience rounding out the final semester. Another unique feature of the program is its emphasis on computer-aided drafting design (CADD). Design firms and home improvement centers are looking for team members with CADD education and experience.
The faculty and advisory committee are members of the American Institute of Architects and American Society of Interior Designers; students are encouraged to get involved with the Institute, which enriches the curriculum with field studies and related extracurricular activities.

Navajo County Sheriff's office say a world champion bull rider has allegedly committed several home burglaries in the last year. 37-year-old Cody Hancock is accused of stealing and re-selling fencing materials since May 2012. Deputies say several burglaries have been reported from homes near Snowflake, Taylor and White Mountain Lake. During the investigation, deputies learned a large number of fencing T-posts had been sold by Hancock. Deputies say they later found evidence linking Hancock to several burglaries. Deputies and officers searched Hancock's home Wednesday and found a large number of fencing T-posts, a Polaris Ranger, and other items of evidence. Hancock was arrested and faces charges of trafficking in stolen property, burglary, theft, criminal damage to property and criminal trespassing.Deputies are asking citizens who have purchased any fencing related materials or other items from Hancock within the last 10 months, to contact the Navajo County Sheriff's office.

A country's military base depends not only on how safe it is from the threats that lurk from not only across the border, but also from the far-off enemies. But this list isn't about the 'best' military bases in the world. Rather, it throws light on the military bases that have certain interesting attributes, which make them unique.

SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
Active (view current version of standard)
1. Scope
1.1 This test method describes test apparatus and a technique to determine the relative sensitivity of materials to mechanical impact in liquid or gaseous oxygen at pressures from 0 to 10 000 psig (0 to 68.9 MPa). The test method described herein addresses testing with pure oxygen environments; however, oxygen-enriched fluids may be substituted throughout this document. This test method utilizes an Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA)-type impact tester of the type depicted in Test Method D2512 modified for pressurized testing.
1.2 This test method provides a means for ranking nonmetallic materials as defined in Guide G63 for use in liquid and gaseous oxygen systems, and is not directly applicable to the determination of the sensitivity of the material in an end-use configuration. This test method can be employed to provide batch-to-batch acceptance data.
1.3 The criteria used for the acceptance, retest or rejection of materials shall be determined by the user and are not fixed by this test method.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See also Section 7.

The holiday season often brings unwelcome guests — stress and depression. And it's no wonder. The holidays present a dizzying array of demands — parties, shopping, baking, cleaning and entertaining, to name just a few.
But with some practical tips, you can minimize the stress that accompanies the holidays. You may even end up enjoying the holidays more than you thought you would.
When stress is at its peak, it's hard to stop and regroup. Try to prevent stress and depression in the first place, especially if the holidays have taken an emotional toll on you in the past.
Don't let the holidays become something you dread. Instead, take steps to prevent the stress and depression that can descend during the holidays. Learn to recognize your holiday triggers, such as financial pressures or personal demands, so you can combat them before they lead to a meltdown. With a little planning and some positive thinking, you can find peace and joy during the holidays.

Singular Buzzard 29er Hardtail
|(0 Reviews)
Product DescriptionA Swift with a shot of adrenaline and a couple of healthy measures of dutch courage, the Buzzard is our new 29" hard tail designed for folks who like pushing their limits when the trail points down and gets rocky. The Buzzard is at the forefront of a new breed of 29" hardtails which enable, indeed encourage, more aggressive riding than is possible on more cross country oriented bikes like the Swift. A slacker head angle, stouter tubing and shorter chainstays make for a bike which is at its best when the going gets steep and the speed goes up.

Buzzard's Roost Trail Project Update! Cinco de Mayo Edition

A few UNL football players were busy Friday lifting the spirits of a special teenager. Dawson Cox has been following the Huskers for quite some time, and finally got his wish to meet some of his favorite athletes.
Dawson is dying of leukemia, and has been battling it for the past year and half.
His family calls him "Awesome Dawson" because they said he's been a trooper throughout this entire journey.
Last month he got to throw out the first pitch at a Salt Dogs game, and Friday, his dream to meet some of the Husker stars came true.
"I had gotten a t–shirt signed by all of the football players but I wanted to meet some of them," Dawson said. "So it was really great to meet them, it was definitely a lot of fun."
With Husker kickoff this weekend, the players have certainly been on the go. But instead of hitting the field Friday morning, they made it their priority to visit Dawson.
"We just try to be there for them," UNL football player Jeremiah Sirles said. "Try to get them to open up a little bit, and get them to talk to us about life or anything."
That's exactly what they did. The Huskers talked with Dawson about video games, zombies and girls. It was a typical conversation for a 14-year-old boy.
Of course, plenty of Husker gear was signed for Dawson, too.
Although Dawson may be one of the Husker's biggest fans, he said this day wouldn't mean anything without his biggest fans there with him.
"Getting to share this entire experience with my entire family, not just myself," Dawson said.
Dawson said he's very excited for opening day Saturday. He'll be watching the game with his mom and sisters, and rooting for that win.

A quick scan of almost any IT department -- from the trenches to the corner office -- confirms it: Women who embrace technology as a lifelong career remain a rare breed. To be sure, opportunity for women in technology has advanced in the past few decades, as have education initiatives aimed at leveling the playing field, but for every woman rising to prominence or embarking on a profession in IT, there seems to be another opting out of her career in technology.
It may not be surprising that, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women filled only 26.7 percent of computer and mathematical positions in 2006. What's troubling is that this percentage has been declining for some time. And the descent has been nearly universal across all IT job categories. For example, women accounted for 16.6 percent of all network and computer systems administrator positions in 2006, down from 23.4 percent in 2000. At the management level, the imbalance persists. Among computer and IS managers, for example, 27.2 percent were women in 2006. By contrast, women held 66 percent of all social and community service management jobs last year.
[See also our slideshow: Women leaders discuss their roles in IT.]
"Technology is definitely a tough environment for women," says Carolyn Leighton, co-founder and chairwoman of Women in Technology International (WITI), an advocacy group. "It's definitely way behind."
What remains unspoken, however, is the effect that this increasing imbalance will have on the long-term prospects for IT. More than a matter of stemming the tide of the ongoing skills shortage, encouraging women to get involved in technology is fast becoming an imperative for establishing the kinds of adaptive, collaborative, and versatile enterprises that will thrive in a fast-paced global economy. Now more than ever, the onus is on IT to play an active role in ensuring that more women choose technology as a career path -- and thrive in it.
Engendering balance
Much has been made of the historical role of educational biases in discouraging women from entering technology as a profession. But for those who have already chosen IT, the particular rigors and culture of a fast-paced career in technology -- not to mention how a traditional career path in this male-dominated industry is laid out -- are doing no small part in dissuading them from making a career-long commitment to IT. Chief among those derailing factors is a challenge particular to many women: raising a family while maintaining a career in technology.
According to a recent joint study by Catalyst, the Families and Work Institute, and the Center for Work and Family at Boston College, 74 percent of women executives have a spouse/partner who is employed full-time. By contrast, 75 percent of male executives have a spouse/partner who stays home full-time -- strong evidence that, despite progress in attitudes toward domestic workloads, women still predominantly bear the brunt of striking a balance between career and home. And when it comes to advancing in the tech industry while starting a family, timing can be a significant barrier.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The Arizona Department of Corrections is offering recently released inmates classes on such things as substance abuse, developing job skills and following a budget.
Arizona's prison population growth rate has stabilized, so authorities have been able to dedicate additional funding to reduce recidivism.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that nearly 18% of Arizona's 40,000 inmates are enrolled in some sort of an educational program, spending three hours a day in a classroom setting. The department's educational budget for fiscal year 2013 is $18 million.
It covers the tuition, fees, books, equipment and teacher salaries for the 1,500 inmates currently in a mandatory class aimed at ensuring they have at least an eighth-grade education.
There are 2,900 inmates working toward a general equivalency diploma and 2,000 learning a trade.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - They are located at 32 intersections across Toledo, but WTOL 11 discovered Toledo's red light cameras are flashing even when some drivers come to a complete stop.
WTOL 11 camped out at the intersection of Byrne and Airport Highway in South Toledo April 12.
Our unofficial count found drivers appeared to come to a complete stop 5 out of the 7 times we saw the cameras flash over a two hour period.
One of those drivers was Ann Hall, who was driving southbound on Byrne and stopped at a red light before turning right onto westbound Airport Highway. She says she had no idea the red light camera flashed while she was still sitting at the intersection.
"I didn't see anything flash," Hall said. "I was concentrating to see when I got the turn light."
Hider Hilou says he, too, came to a complete stop before making a right turn at the intersection, but he was still ticketed. Hilou said he wonders how many other drivers have been affected.
"If you don't know you got it, then you'll get a citation a month later and have to go back all that way to recall if you got a ticket," Hilou said.
Toledo Police Lieutenant Jeff Sulewski says red light cameras are calibrated to capture cars that break the law, which states "vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line." Many drivers we saw passed that line before stopping, in some cases to get a better look at approaching traffic, though cameras didn't flash for each.
Sulewski says the Arizona-based company that operates the cameras, Redflex Traffic Systems, reviews all tickets before they're sent to the Toledo Police Department. A Toledo police officer then reviews video of the incidents before any ticket is sent to a driver.
"Before it can be issued, it has to be reviewed by a police officer, and we have the final say of whether or not it will be issued," Sulewski said. "If, prior to entering intersection, they make a complete stop then safely enter the intersection and make their turn, we're going to dismiss that; it's never going to be issued as a citation."
Ticketed drivers can also review video of the incident and file an appeal before a Toledo hearing officer. Instructions on how to contest the ticket will be printed on the citation.
To avoid setting off the camera, Sulewski suggests drivers stop at the white stop line, look at approaching traffic then ease up to the intersection before stopping and looking a second time. Then, make the turn.

The Palestine Police Department is working a possible child abduction in Palestine.
On Monday, officers from the Palestine Police Department were dispatched to the home of an alleged victim. Once on the scene, officers met with the victim and her father.
Police were informed that the victim was waiting for the school bus on Brierwood Drive in Palestine when a stranger approached her. The victim reported being taken from the bus stop to another residence without her consent.
The victim was able to exit the residence before being injured.
"The child was never injured, does not show any signs of being injured, and has been seen by medical professionals. She doesn't have any injuries so we will proceed from this point," says Sgt. James Muniz of the Palestine Police Department.
People in the 100 block of Brierwood Drive say the school bus stops in several places on the street. We spoke to some of them on Monday night and none of them had heard anything about the possible abduction.
Detectives will be following up on information received during the initial stages of the investigation.
"We've talked to her father, we'll talk to her mother, and we'll talk to friends, relatives, school officials, and see what information they have. We'll also talk to some people in the neighborhood to see if anybody saw anything or anybody that was unusual or out of the ordinary in the area this morning," Muniz says.
The name of the school the child goes to has not been released but Sgt. Muniz says school officials have been notified of the possible abduction.
Right now, Muniz says the department has no description of a vehicle or suspect they are looking for.
Police are asking that if anyone in this area saw any person or suspicious vehicles to call the Palestine Police Department at 903-729-2254 or CRIME STOPPERS at 903-729-TIPS (8477).

Adventures in Andorra
It may be a tiny country, but travellers can have big fun on their Andorra holidays. Nestled between France and Spain at the heart of the Pyrenees, this 468 sq km nation has a population of less than 90,000 and some of the planet's most breathtaking scenery. Its mountainous geography means that holidays to Andorra are perfect for those who want more out of their trips than the chance to soak up the sun on a lounger.
All manner of outdoor activities can be enjoyed on Andorra holidays, including hikes to the summit of Pic Maia and walks through the country's other mountains. A popular route through the peaks takes travellers past the Siscaro Lakes, which are perfect for a cooling swim on a summer day.
Treks through the Incles Valley are also an unmissable part of an Andorra tour - this area is a rainbow of interesting flora and fauna and is home to free-roaming horses. The Ordino Valley is a popular part of the itinerary on Andorra tours, which offers tourists the chance to check out the country's iron mines and mills - the nation's first industry.
This area of Andorra is perhaps best explored on a bike - there are few more thrilling experiences than cycling past such breathtaking sights. Bike riding is also a fun activity in the Cortals Valley, where the terrain is a little more flat in places. A forest track is also available for those who enjoy a few more thrills and spills while cycling on their Andorra travels.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of, Andorra holidays is the chance to go white-water rafting. As you hurtle down the river on the Old Smugglers Route, thoughts of lazing on the beach with an ice cream will be a million exhilarating miles from your mind.
Andorra Map
Family Holidays in Andorra
A family holiday in Andorra will be full of adventures and activities. Hiking and Biking the mountains will prove exhilarating and a change from the day to day. In the summer, White Water rafting is one of our most popular summer activities with teenagers whilst Being pulled in a Dog Sled is something they never forget.
Ideally suited to the active family, our Andorra holidays are great in summer and winter.

Suspect in 1986 South Bay murder arrested at border
SAN DIEGO -- A man suspected of killing a teenager in the South Bay 25 years ago was behind bars in Texas Thursday following his arrest at the U.S.- Mexico line in that state, authorities said.
Customs and Border Protection officers took 55-year-old Efren Gutierrez Villalobos into custody late Tuesday morning after he entered an international pedestrian port facility in El Paso, CBP spokesman Roger Maier said.
On July 7, 1986, Villalobos and a cohort allegedly killed a 19-year-old man in National City by bludgeoning him with an unknown object and running him over with a vehicle, according to police.
Investigators believe Villalobos fled to Mexico shortly after the slaying. He remained at large until his arrest this week, Maier said.
Federal agents turned the suspect over the El Paso Police Department, which booked him into a local jail to await extradition back to Southern California to face trial for the killing.
The name of the victim and the identity and status of the other suspect in the case were not immediately available.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Emmys 2013 Predictions: Who will win?
Lead actor drama
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey)
Damian Lewis (Homeland)
Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom)
Who should win? Bryan Cranston
Who will win? Kevin Spacey
There is a traditional tendency to reward movie stars for taking TV roles and that's what may give Oscar winner Spacey the edge over the always amazing Cranston. Was Spacey good in House of Cards? Of course. Does he deserve to beat out Cranston? NO. Cranston embodies Walter White so fully that they need to create a special category for what he does on Breaking Bad. Nothing against the other actors in the category but he's just in a league of his own.

The tail at the bottom of your baby's spinal cord has shrunk and almost disappeared by this week. In contrast, your baby's head has been growing — it's quite large compared with the rest of the body and it curves onto the chest. By this week, your baby measures about 0.6 to 0.7 inches (16 to 18 millimeters) from crown to rump and weighs around 0.1 ounces (3 grams). The tip of the nose has developed and can be seen in profile, and flaps of skin over the eyes have begun to shape into eyelids, which will become more noticeable in the next few weeks.
The digestive system continues to develop. The anus is forming, and the intestines are growing longer. In addition, internal reproductive features, such as testes and ovaries, start to form this week.
Your baby may make some first movements this week as muscles develop. If you had an ultrasound now, those movements might even be visible, but you won't be able to feel them for several more weeks.
In preparation for your first prenatal visit, take the time to familiarize yourself with your family's health history and to review your medical records. Have you had any chronic illnesses, allergies, or surgeries? Are you currently taking any prescription medications? Do you know of any genetic disorders that run in your family? Has your menstrual cycle been regular, and have you had any past pregnancies? Do you smoke or drink alcohol? What are your exercise habits? These are the things your health care provider will want to discuss with you, so it will help to have this information ready when you go.

Fujifilm FinePix HS50 EXR Review
Fujifilm FinePix HS50 EXR Review - Performance
Fujifilm's claims of speedy focusing with the HS50 EXR are borne out through testing; at the wideangle end in particular the camera confirms focus in a remarkably short time, and even at the other end it copes admirably, despite the hunting common to all such models in low light. Focusing is also remarkably silent, which makes the camera more suitable when discretion is required.
The HS50 EXR's write times are also excellent, with no slowdown when capturing JPEGs on their own in quick succession, and only around seven or eight simultaneous Raw and JPEG captures starting to slow the camera down. Fujifilm also claims that the camera's shot-to-shot time is just half a second; even when shooting Raw images it appears to be about this fast. Shutter lag is also virtually non-existent.
The performance of the HS50's viewfinder is perhaps the camera's most impressive feature. It's detailed enough for manual focusing, even at longer focal lengths, while the LCD only really falters when used in particularly bright conditions (although a Sunlight-specific brightness option is on board).
There's little that really lets the camera down, aside from the slight lagging throughout menu operation, which makes selecting options in a hurry slightly more difficult.
