Land research can tell us so much about how our ancestors lived and worked. It can help us find out the truth about stories we've heard, and can give us a much richer picture of our ancestors' social and economic position. If they owned a house, business premises or rural property there are records to be found, many of which contain a wealth of information.

There are so many wonderful ways to arrange artwork. One of my favorites is the mismatched collage! No matter how you do it art should always be a part of your home and by art I mean whatever you think of as art. Your home should always be a reflection of the person who lives inside it. Family pictures, collections, vintage prints, giclees (some of us cannot afford the originals) or whatever inspires you and makes you happy to be home.

I love this post.. I always felt that if it came from my heart it was the best it could be. Especially with art and pictures. I don't love things all lined up so perfectly. Don't get me wrong it does look great, its just not for me. Any hoot.. hope all is well and thanks!!

The hand mirrors over the bath tub is wonderful !
I am thinking the shelf for art to sit on rather than nails in walls is a good option for my home. We have plaster walls and hanging a picture turns into such a big production ! I have to look into that for the bedrooms .

How might essential tremor be treated?
Treatment for essential tremor may not be necessary unless the tremors interfere with daily activities or cause embarrassment.[1] Although there is no definitive cure for essential tremor, medicines may help relieve symptoms.[2][1] How well medicines work depend on the individual patient.[1] Two medications used to treat tremors include:[2][1]
These drugs can have significant side effects.[1]
- Propranolol, a drug that blocks the action of stimulating substances called neurotransmitters, particularly those related to adrenaline
- Primidone, an antiseizure drug that also control the function of some neurotransmitters
These drugs can have significant side effects.[1]
Eliminating tremor "triggers" such as caffeine and other stimulants from the diet is often recommended. Physical therapy may help to reduce tremor and improve coordination and muscle control for some patients.[2]
More details about the management of essential tremor can be accessed through the following web links:

A friendly reminder: Don't pass on the right
Semi trucks are ever-present—and crucially important—fellow travelers on our nation's highways and byways. Still, it's amazing how many car drivers don't know how to behave around tractor trailers, and blind-spot awareness stickers don't always seem to do the trick. We hope this blunt new approach, spotted by Autoweek reader Johanna Rosser, gets the point across.

BioJava aims to provide a comprehensive set of Java components for the rapid development of applications in Bioinformatics. It contains interfaces for representing Sequences, Features, and other important bioinformatics concepts. It can also read and write sequence data in a variety of common formats and communicate with Ensembl databases and with DAS and BioCorba servers.
Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
CwMtx is a library written in C++ that provides the matrix and vector operations that are used extensively in engineering and science problems. A special feature of this library is the quaternion class which implements quaternion math. Quaternions are very useful for attitude determination in 3D space because they do not suffer from singularities. Furthermore, successive rotations and transformations of vectors can be accomplished by simple quaternion multiplication. Attitude dynamics can be expressed in a very compact form using quaternions
The Date::Calc package consists of a (pure-Perl) wrapper which either loads Date::Calc::XS (a separate implementation in C and XS) or Date::Calc::PP (a pure-Perl implementation which is part of the Date::Calc package). The Date::Calc::XS and Date::Calc::PP modules perform all kinds of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all Western countries today), according to relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971, DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable). The package is designed as an efficient toolbox, not a bulky ready-made application. It provides extensive documentation and examples of use, multi-language support, and special functions for business needs.
The Date::Pcalc Perl module is a direct translation of Steffen Beyer's excellent Date::Calc module from a combination of C and Perl to Perl only. The Perl module does all kinds of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all western countries today), thereby complying with all relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971, DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable).
FFTW is a fast C FFT library. It includes complex, real, symmetric, multidimensional, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary array sizes efficiently.It is typically faster than other freely available FFT implementations, and is even competitive with vendor-tuned libraries (benchmarks are available at the homepage). To achieve this performance, it uses novel code generation and runtime self optimization techniques (along with many other tricks).
GiNaC (GiNaC is Not a CAS (Computer Algebra System)) is a C++ library for symbolic calculations. It is designed to allow the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together with more established areas of computer science (like computation-intense numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.). Contrary to other CASes it does not try to provide extensive algebraic capabilities and a simple programming language but instead accepts a given language (C++) and extends it by a set of algebraic capabilities.

SINKING SPRING, Pa.—Police say a dispute on a social media site apparently precipitated the stabbing of a teenager at an eastern Pennsylvania middle school.
Police Chief Bryan Ross of Spring Township in Berks County says the 14-year-old victim is in stable condition with wounds that are "not superficial" but not life-threatening.
Another 14-year-old was arrested after the stabbing, which occurred in a second-floor hallway at Wilson Southern Middle School at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Ross told the Reading Eagle (http://bit.ly/V72eOI ) that some kind of communication on Facebook preceded the attack, and "obviously we're going to have to delve deeper into the motive for this incident."

Mike Singletary wants to be an NFL head coach again

11:20 AM ET 01.27 | Mike Singletary already has been an NFL head coach, but he struggled to articulate what ran through his mind before his interview for the Bears' coaching vacancy this month. "It's hard to put into words," Singletary told the Sun-Times. "You play at a place, and you remember what it was like and what it took to get to where you needed to go. To sit up there and talk about that job was unlike anything I've ever experienced." Singletary was one of 14 candidates to interview for the job, but there was some skepticism about how legitimate his prospects were. Singletary said he isn't bitter the 49ers have reached the Super Bowl. In fact, he's still thankful to many in the organization for giving him a chance to be a head coach. But he wants another shot.
Could not have said it better!
Dude can't coach
Two words why he got the interview...."Rooney Rule".....
To get another chance to be an NFL head coach, he is going to have patience and work his way up as a coordinators and keep his mouth shut.
Everybody deserves a second chance!!!!!!

He went 18-22 with mostly the same roster that has reached back-to-back Conference Championship Game without him.
If you want to coach again Singletary then try College, or the CFL. Singletary is of the mind that he feels a sense of entitlement to a NFL Head Coaching Job. You have to earn your job as a Head Coach. I'd take Mike Nolan over Singletary any day ( both having been the head coach of the 49ers ), remember Singletary's comment about QB's? To him they were just another player on the team.
I dare Singletary to even apply for a College Head Coaching job, only some desperate small school would hire him.
He went 18-22 with mostly the same roster that has reached back-to-back Conference Championship Game without him.
A lot of that talent was assembled when he was there. Perhaps that is his strongest point, he can judge talent.
Everybody deserves a second chance!!!!!!
Do you think he should be the Head Coach of your favorite team?
They hire a CFL coach over him.. what does that tell you??
Dude can't coach
I want to play Quarterback for the Raiders...I'm 6'1" but can't throw. That doesn't matter does it? He might possibly be the worst coach I've seen in my lifetime...possibly. He's not going to be a head coach again.

A lot of that talent was assembled when he was there. Perhaps that is his strongest point, he can judge talent.
Singletary was against the drafting of Patrick Willis when he was the linebackers coach for the 49ers and as a Head Coach he only had one draft but it was a good one in which the 49ers picked; 1st round- (RT) Anthony Davis, (LG) Mike Iupati. 2nd round- (Safety) Taylor Mays, whom they traded away one year later for a 6th round pick. 3rd round- (LB) Navarro Bowman. NO 4TH OR 5TH ROUND PICKS. 6th round- (RB) Anthony Dixon, (TE) Nate Bynham, (WR) Kyle Williams. 7th round- (WR) Kyle Williams. in another 2 years probably the only players from this draft that will be on the team will be Davis, Iupati, and Bowman. Any time you have a draft were 3-4 of the draft choices make it through 5 years on the team then I think that team has done a good job drafting in that year.
Trent Baalke who will be directing his 3rd draft since becoming the GM of the 49ers has had one good year (2011) that has produced ; Aldon Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Chris Culliver, Kendall Hunter, Daniel Kilgore, and Bruce Miller. In (2012) his draft was a flop, the only player taken that year that has secured a job is LaMichael James, others such as A.J. Jenkins, Joe Looney, Darius Fleming are all hanging on by a slender thread. There other 3 players are gone or on the practice squad.
^^^^^ THat should be 7th rounder (CB) Philip Adams^^^^^
Dude can't coach
Are you crazy? The guy built the Niners into an NFL power. Harbaugh is winning with the team Singletary built.
They hire a CFL coach over him.. what does that tell you??
That they are a clueless organization.
A lot of that talent was assembled when he was there. Perhaps that is his strongest point, he can judge talent.
He reminds me of Tony Dungy at Tampa when Gruden took his team to the Super Bowl.

Who are we? What do we do? Why are we doing this? Simple: Our mission is to reduce property taxes. Our agenda is very straight forward. Get involved! Join us!
Two Upcoming Candidate Debates
There will be a Candidates Meet and Greet / Debate on Monday October 21st from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at the Valley Cottage Library 110 Route 303, Valley Cottage (845)268-7700. The Clarkstown Taxpayers will be hosting a meet the candidates night for Clarkstown Town Justice seats as well as the Town Highway Superintendent position. The first hour will be for the Town Justices. The second hour will be for the highway Superintendent race. We will be starting at 6:30pm and promptly ending at 8:30pm
There will be a Candidate Debate for Clarkstown Supervisor and two seats for the Town Council on Thursday October 24th from 7 pm -9pm at the Nanuet Library 149 Church Street, Nanuet (845) 623-4281. Both events are free to the public. If you can bring with you at least one or more cans of food to these events, we will be collecting them for the local food bank.
Clarkstown Taxpayers cannot support the Clarkstown Preservation Society's Clarkstown Petition
The Clarkstown Taxpayers has determined it cannot support the Clarkstown Preservation Society's efforts with their Clarkstown Petition This decision is in light of recent events concerning the indisputable actions of political operatives, the blatant conspiratorial behaviors committed to benefit themselves and their willingness to undermine a fair election process . The decision by the Clarkstown Preservation Society to continue their support for Dennis Malone, candidate for Clarkstown Highway Superintendent, on their line, has made this determination our only option. When a candidate on a line acts in stark contrast to the platform on which it stands, all credibility is lost.
The Clarkstown Taxpayers find the actions of Mr. Malone repugnant and therefore, cannot and will not support him on any lines that would endorse him.
Results from the Clarkstown Taxpayers General Membership Meeting
The Clarkstown Taxpayers general membership meeting Thursday 4/18 at the Nanuet Library featured guest speaker Tim Hoefer of the Manhattan Institute and drew a large turnout of interested and concerned Residents.
Frank Grandel, President of the 600 plus member non-political group, outlined the Group's mission and spoke of various Town Board approved (most unanimously) excesses, which contribute to our extremely high property taxes, discouraging young families from settling here, and driving out long time residents.
Among the items Mr. Grandel listed were Clarkstown's excessive Police Salaries, in addition to overtime and benefit costs, 24/7 use of town Vehicles, town employees cell charges, as well as hiring of political operatives to high paying patronage positions in the town. Residents were urged to pay attention, become more involved by attending Town Board meetings and voice disapproval of reckless spending by this board. The Taxpayer group distributed a handout with detailed figures on overtime including a listing of the 2012 top 10 employees salaries and overtime amounts.
Mt Hoefer presented eloquent, factual documentation, and provided numerous papers the Institute has published related to NY State mandates and regulations indicating a $665 million shortfall in unfunded State healthcare benefits, plus millions of pension contributions owed by Towns and Cities all of which bode difficult financial times ahead unless changes are made NOW. Specifically the State Taylor law, Triborough Amendment, and Arbitration procedures all require updating that acknowledge the difficult and changed financial environment citizens and private enterprise face in today's economy. Tim recommended we call, email and write our State representatives to work on these items. The Triborough Amendment for example must be renewed every 2 years and is up for renewal again this year.
The Taxpayers organization invited our local NY State Representatives to attend but were advised they were in Albany, however to our dismay no one from their staff attended in order to take the message back.
Many attendees expressed serious concerns about seemingly unending tax increases and indebtedness of Clarkstown. One resident indicated Stockton California, which recently filed bankruptcy, has less total debt than Clarkstown--A frightening up call to action if there ever was one!! The message is clear ---without forceful-consistent action by local citizens imploring officials at the local and state level to recognize times have changed demanding the need to reverse trends caused by outdated rules enacted in far better economic times which have disappeared and are now history.
In what will be the first installment in a continuing series of disclosures of how your tax dollars are spent, we begin with earlier this year:
Statement from the new President of the Clarkstown Taxpayers.....
Hello to all. I'm Frank Grandel, your new President of the Clarkstown Taxpayers. Having served in the vice-president position, from the very beginnings of our group, I am proud to accept the responsibility and continue our progress in trying to achieve our goals outlined in our Mission Statement.
But first things first. Our outgoing president Guy Gervasi needs to be recognized. After joining up with us as we were first creating our organization, Guy dedicated countless hours,shared with us his expertise in accounting, and offered many insights to help us grow. Believing in what it was we were trying to accomplish, he committed himself with how he felt was his civic duty to make us a strong voice for the overtaxed citizens. I commend him for that devotion and, along with our steering committee, give a big "Thank-you" to Guy. It is well deserved - best wishes in all your future endeavors.
Do come back soon,as I will be posting an important message on our outlook for the coming year. In the interim, enjoy all of the Holidays and wishing you a Happy New Year.
New Patronage Appointment in Clarkstown
What seems to be good for the goose, the gander now tries. W. Ballard, our Superintendent of Highways, has been watching all the patronage appointments and political cronyism being made by the Clarkstown Town Board to secure their re-election that he has now jumped on the bandwagon to secure his own future re-election.
Mr. Ballard just hired a new "Constituent Service Ass't", aka customer service agent, to answer phones and field residents' complaints and needs. While the position is laudable, Mr. Ballard's choice to fill this position and to pay an outrageous salary is despicable. Ballard's choice for this job out of the 260 resumes that he received is our own Rockland County legislator, F. Sparaco. Mr. Sparaco was hired for this 25 hour/week job at an annual salary of $75,000, which is equivalent to an outrageous hourly rate of $60/hr. Don't you think that out of 260 resumes in these hard economic times that Ballard could find a non-political person to fill this job for less than $20/hr? I guess not when your main criteria for hiring a person is to secure the ballots lines of the Republican and Independence Parties with the political appeasement of V. Reda, the head of the Republican Party and his associate, F. Sparaco, who secretly controls the Independence Party.
Supervisor Gromack continually says government service is a NOBLE profession, but it is too bad that the people that practice this profession, politicians, are far from NOBLE with politicians having one of the lowest approval ratings of any profession.
Patronage Alive and Well in Clarkstown
In our attack on Patronage in Clarkstown, Mr. Savino seems to think that the Clarkstown Taxpayers have orchestrated a politically motivated attack on him. The only political motivation that the Clarkstown Taxpayers have is to rid our Town Board of the entrenched politicians (think Term Limits) that continue to hand out patronage jobs. Savino's appointment by Supervisor Gromack is just the most recent example of a patronage appointment by the Clarkstown Town Board. Savino, who just happens to be the head of the Bronx Republican Party, was hired to handle the town's tax cert cases. However, according to Savino, he has never represented a municipality in a tax cert case; and then when the Palisades Mall challenged its assessment, Gromack chooses another law firm to handle this case. Such is the confidence that Gromack places in the ability of Savino, his most recent patronage appointment.
The Clarkstown Taxpayers are not accusing Mr. Savino of any wrong doings, but rather are asking the Town Board why they were willing to hire a law firm from outside of Rockland with no tax cert experience that had a past association with politicians of dubious backgrounds.
While Savino is the most recent patronage appointment, the history of patronage in Clarkstown is legendary. Isn't it odd that M. Coopersmith, who headed the local Independence Party and gave the party's endorsement come election time to the incumbents, had a high paying job in Clarkstown until she lost the Independence Party, then she was let go. Isn't it also odd that E. Lettre, co-chair of the local Conservative Party, has a high paying job in Clarkstown and M. Loeffler, the other co-chair of the Conservative Party, also had a high paying job in Clarkstown. Both of these Clarkstown employees always gave their party's endorsement come election time to the incumbents. Finally, is it a coincidence that the recently hired Deputy Town Attorney is the son of Harriet Cornell, the head of the Rockland County legislature.
Clarkstown is a great town, but it could be greater if employees and contractors were truly hired for WHAT they know rather than WHO they know.

Patronage Jobs in Clarkstown
Patronage in the Town governments and in the government of Rockland County? We hear about them all of the time - they are said to be everywhere - but some of them must be 'phantoms' as seldom does anyone name these chimeras and tell us where exactly we should look to find them. To find out who they are click the Read More button.
Clarkstown Taxpayers Question Gromack on Savino Hiring and Open Meeting Policy
At the beginning of this year, Supervisor Gromack did not renew the contract of Deputy Town Attorney M. Coopersmith supposedly to save money. However the real reason seems to be that once she lost the chairmanship of the Independent Party, she was a no further use to Gromack and the rest of the Town Board because she couldn't give them the Independent Party line on the ballot any more. To compound this unethical behavior, Gromack and the Town Board then hired an outside law firm from the Bronx, represented by Mr. Savino, to take over Ms. Coopersmith's work, which was mainly tax certiorari issues. Not only was this a patronage appointment for Savino, but this appointment seems to have skirted around NYS Open Meeting rules. Mr. Savino just happens to be the head of the Bronx Republican Party and he and his law firm have NO experience in tax cert. matters. Even Town Board member S. Hausner, who never seems to disagree with Gromack, said about the Savino hiring: "There are individuals more qualified than Savino and they may not come with his baggage" To find out more about this baggage and the seemingly unethical dealings of our Town Board, please click on the READ MORE button below.

Marie Curie: Her 144th Birthday Marked in Handwriting
Today would have been Marie Curie's 144th Birthday!
When Google honoured her with a picture on their homepage, I immediately began to wonder about her handwriting.
I'm pleased to say that I was fortunate enough to find her signature and a brief sample of her handwriting!
So while I looked for her signature and handwriting (see below) I also discovered that she actually won two Nobel prizes.
One in 1903 for physics and 8 years later another in chemistry.
Sadly, she didn't realize how dangerous her research was and she later died from too much exposure to radiation.
Born in Poland, on November 7, 1867 she was the youngest of five children. When she was 24 she went to Paris to study physics.
She met her husband Pierre Curie at the Sorbonne where he was an instructor in physics and chemistry.
They worked together researching radioactivity and discovered a new element which she named polonium in honour of her home country, Poland.
A brilliant and determined scientist, she became a victim of the very research to which she was so dedicated.
So here is her signature:
The most striking thing about this signature is the simplicity and clarity which are so obvious. It is also very legible. There was nothing artificial about her. She did not seek fame or glory.
Look at the strength in the signature which is confident but unassuming. The lines are clean and the stroke unwavering.
Following is a brief sample of her actual handwriting in Polish.
Note the hooks in both M's which show her tenacity. A true scientist, she had a critical mind and a desire for accuracy. High ideals and a scientist's curiosity were the hallmarks of her meticulous research.
And yet there is strong evidence of an imaginative quality too. To some this would seem strange because science and imagination would seem to be strange bedfellows. But in fact it really isn't so strange at all.
After all it was Einstein himself who said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
He could have been referring to Marie Curie herself.

I realize photo copies distort clearity & can't be helped. Maybe this is the reason I'm seeing something else.
I thought it was the final curved hook that indicated tenacity. Unless this is segmented from the rest of the letter "M" isn't this a beginning stroke? In reference to the tenacity stroke looks more like an anger tick to me & there seems to be no release of tension in the upstrokes either. Recopying?
Enlighten me.
PS.great site very informative
Hi Sanyue
If you take a look at the Polish versions you will see that the hooks are rounded. Therefore they would not be anger ticks.
Trait stroke analysis, in fact, would suggest that the initial hook indicates acquisition. But I would dispute it in this instance. There are many tiny end hooks in the Polish version to support tenacity. Beginning hooks and end hooks together can be evaluated to infer holding on or tenacity.

It's important use multiple sources of information when looking for a new smartphone as it is more than likely that you'll spend two years with this device in your pocket. Talk to friends, try their phones and read multiple reviews in order to make an educated decision. Salespeople within a physical store can also be helpful, but it's wise to consider them as another source of information among many as they are salespeople and have their own commission based reasons.
Warning: A lot of people, including sales staff will have strong opinions over which device is 'best' or 'better than' another. We'd like to reiterate that you must make your own decision as two years is a long time and try not to be swayed by the opinions of others. What's best for your friend or family member may not be best for you.
There are a lot of arguments for and against different screen sizes for smartphones and it's easy to get caught up in the debate. This is an area that is completely subjective and the decision can even come down to the size of your pocket and where the phone will fit comfortably.
Think how you will usually use your smartphone and whether or not a larger screen would offer a more positive or negative experience. Many people spend hours on their phone everyday reading, browsing, gaming, watching, with only a few minutes on calls.
A phone's operating system (OS) is the software platform on which your entire user experience is built. Right now there are 3 major systems to be aware of: iOS (iPhone), Android OS (many phones) and Windows Phone 7. The once-iconic BlackBerry OS, which is still quite popular but has been losing users for a few years now since the rise of the capacitive touchscreen smartphone away from the physical QWERTY keyboard with which BlackBerry found fame. In response BlackBerry has rebuilt its OS, naming it BB10, bringing new hopes to the company, but is still to prove itself in the modern market.
Another important consideration is that smartphones are no longer just 'phones' they are powerful mini computers with hundreds of thousands of applications to choose from. Users are bound to be able to find new ways to make this little handheld computer work for them that they may not have predicted going in
You've heard about them, so here's why people love them.
Additionally, iOS also boasts the largest selection of applications 'apps' and games to choose from. The Apple App store is currently the largest distributor of software content in the world with the largest selection of products to choose from. For all the iPhone plans and models check out our iPhone plans and deals or for US users, we've got a dedicated section for you as well to compare iPhone plans and deals.
Android is an open-source OS from Google that offers a lot more freedom and power to its users, but has historically had a much less intuitive interface (UI) than iOS, although the latest versions of Android 4.0 and higher (named after deserts like Jelly Bean & Ice Cream Sandwich) are a leap forward and offer power users a lot of flexibility.
The Android operating system is everywhere and there are more Android phones on the market than any other phone type with price ranges from cheap to super premium. You
can compare all the Android devices by manufacturer and by price here or for US readers can compare the prices on all the Android devices by carrier here
We've also got information on getting started on the Android Operating system but the software upgrade information for each devices is something that you'll need to track from your carrier. Due to Android being available on hundreds of devices across dozens of manufacturers it's a fairly fragmented ecosystem. Updates to the Android OS usually take months to reach devices, if they ever come at all. This is because each device has different hardware, a different manufacturer-designed UI and is usually on a different network carrier. Not only does Google have to make and distribute the update in a way that will work on as many devices as possible, each manufacturer then has to make it work with their UI. After this, each carrier that the update is pushed to has to make it compatible with their systems. This process takes a much longer time than the more tightly controlled ecosystems of Apple' iOS for iPhone, Windows Phone and BlackBerry.
With Android, file transfers are amazingly simple, just plug in your phone and treat it like an external hard drive. Any supported media files will be automatically detected when the phone is removed and added to their appropriate playlists. Unsupported files will trigger a warning, these files can still be put on the phone and transported from one place to another; they simply cannot be played using the phone itself.
Windows Phone (WP) is the newest of the top 3 operating systems, but younger than BB10. Its stylish and unique interface has been one of the major reasons for its success, providing a sense of class not really seen in other mainstream UIs. Like Android, WP is an OS that is supported by multiple manufacturers. Unlike with Android, however, each manufacturer is required to stick to a strict set of software and hardware guidelines. Manufacturers are also not allowed to create their own UI skins. This means that many WP devices ends up looking very similar at first glance, something that has led to many people asking "what's the difference?" between various Windows Phone devices. Fortunately, possibly in reaction to a manufacturer's need to stick out aesthetically, the lack of design freedom with the UI has led to many Windows Phones sporting bright and unique designs.
In truth, the differences between WP device performance are often quite small when it comes to Windows Phones that are released around the same time. Screen size, screen type and processing power are good indicators of which model you should be looking at. External design and camera quality are also key factors. If you're after a solid WP device then you shouldn't have nearly as much trouble as if you were choosing between two or three different Android handsets. When phones are similar in many respects then their small differences are more easily spotted. As such it's usually pretty obvious which handset you should go for, meaning that you can rest assured that you'll get one of the best Windows Phone experiences available.
File transfer on WP is very similar to that of iOS or Android, depending on your preference. Instead of iTunes the user can use the Microsoft Zune Player. Users who prefer a more Android-centric style of data management can simply use their WP device like a hard drive. Just plug it in as if it were a USB device and manage away.
Music on Windows Phone is fantastic. AA user can create a Zune Pass/Xbox Music account. Zune Pass/Xbox Music is a subscription service run by Microsoft that users can try out for free for 14 days, after which a monthly fee is required.
Before you balk at the price take note that for this sum you gain access to Microsoft's entire Zune library. Every single song on the Zune Pass/Xbox Music store is available for you to download and listen to on up to 5 computers and devices. These songs will unfortunately cease to work if your subscription is terminated, but there's still good news. Each month subscribers get 1 optional album download that is theirs to keep forever. So basically for the price of 1 album per month you get 1 album per month, plus unlimited access to millions of titles while your subscription lasts.
It's an extremely easy and fluid service and we suggest that any WP users give the 14 day free trial a go. Just be sure to cancel that subscription once the 14 days are up if you're not interested, as Microsoft will start charging you if you do not. Unsubscribing is easy enough, as you approach the end of the trial Microsoft should begin to email you with warnings. You can follow a link in these emails to unsubscribe.
Figuring out just how big a cap you need can be tricky. That's the whole reason we came up with our comparison algorithm; to make it easier when you need to compare mobile phone plans. It's important to both consider how often you use your phone for calls, messaging and data as well as how much you think you're willing to spend each month. We've built tools for a basic comparison and a beginners guide to mobile phone plans.
Some phone plans come with a smartphone. This can either cost an amount extra per month, or not put you out another penny depending on the phone and the plan in question. Most new top-end phones are available for between $5 and $0 extra on a $59 plan 24 month, but obviously different carriers have varying marketing strategies and each device has its own individual cost. As a result not every new smartphone will have this pricing and not every carrier will charge the same amount for a plan with a particular device.
It can be hard to figure out just how much value you're getting out of a plan. First there's whether or not a device is included to consider. Weighing the cost of the device if bought off-plan up against the total minimum cost of the plan itself is one way to get an idea. Mostly you're going to want to get as large an allowance of data, calls and texts as possible for your money. Most other countries make it easy by telling you the number of texts and the amount of call-minutes you're allowed. In Australia we unfortunately don't have this model so we sat down and figured out a conversion model that allows you to view the number of minutes on a plan that you'll be getting each month with a handy mobile plan visualiser.
Most commonly, mobile phone plans last for 24 months, during which period you will be required a pre-set monthly minimum. Some plans go for 12 or 18 months, but these options are more expensive. Once you've signed up that's it. Barring special circumstances the only way to get out of a plan is to pay it out. That means you need to pay your monthly minimum spend multiplied by the number of months left on your plan. So if you are on a $49 contract and have 10 months left then you'll be required to pay $490 in order to cancel the contract. It's not a particularly common occurrence that a customer will want to switch providers so badly that they'll pay out a contract, but it does happen. If you're having issues with your provider then you can always call up the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and ask that they look in to your complaint and contact your provider on your behalf.
If you're more of a visual person then we've put our algorithm to work in a mobile phone plan visualiser that really highlights the difference between what certain plans from the major network providers cost and what they offer. You have the option of sorting results by:
The slider to the right allows you to switch up your desired maximum monthly spend so that you can get a more accurate view of the phone plans you're after.
You can get to the plan visualiser by clicking the 'Visualiser' icon in the top left of a standard plan search results screen, or you can just go directly to The Visualiser.
Start by selecting the phone that sounds most like what you want. If you don't see one you're after then you can either find it via a standard search, or you can click any phone and then change to the one you're after in the next step by clicking 'Change' to the left of the phone image.
Choosing the right carrier is an important decision. Unfortunately it's not a particularly simple one, either. Take one look at a web forum and you'll see widely differing experiences and opinions from customers ranging from happy to downright enraged. This isn't just because people have different expectations from one-another, rather it's because the personal experience and quality of product that one person may have with a telco might be completely different to that of another with the exact same provider.
The #1 most important thing to consider when making a decision is reception in your area and the places in which you frequent. You might end up going with a telco that doesn't have acceptable reception in your home or at your work, and then be faced with the task of switching carriers.
The easiest way to test reception is to ask around your friends and family. See what kind of service they get in your area with their telco and you should get a pretty accurate idea of what to expect.
The #1 most important thing to consider when making a decision is reception in your area and the places in which you frequent. You might end up going with a telco that doesn't have acceptable reception in your home or at your work, and then be faced with the task of switching carriers.
A data plan is the pipeline that will bring your phone to life, and both the size and the speed of the data plan will either set your phone free or hobble it. If you're getting a hot new smartphone, look for a larger data plan rather a smaller one as this will dramatically impact your experience with your phone. We suggest a data plan of at least 1GB per month with a good use of WiFi at home and at work to avoid any issues. In the US, customers can still enjoy unlimited data plans so that they won't incur any excess usage charges.

While the Raiders waded through an up-and-down week that saw them need rallies to get past Douglas and Reno, one player in particular is getting hot at the right time.
Senior second baseman Cori Gammon started off last week ripping two doubles, scoring three runs and driving in another in a 10-0 non-league win over Fallon to christen the Raiders' new on-campus softball field.
Gammon finished the week, going 7-for-12 from the plate, raising her batting average to .471 on the season, second on the team behind junior Mary Dettling's .548 batting average.
"I've been putting in a lot of extra time outside of practice," she said. "When you're younger, you always have other people to look up to and who get the job done. This year, I want to be that person. I have to leave it all out on the field."
Gammon is leading the team with 41 hits. In 27 games, she has hit safely in 23 of them and recently had a 16-game hitting streak end last week against Manogue. She's second in runs with 33 and has driven in 21 from her leadoff spot.
In the two weeks since spring break, Gammon has gone 12-for-24 with 11 runs scored and five RBI. She's also found a little bit of a power stroke. All three of her doubles and her triple have come in the past two weeks, increasing her slugging percentage to .563, which is also second on the team.
"Because she can slap, she can bunt and she can obviously hit for some pop, she's doing a great job reading defenses," Reed softball coach Jon Wunder said. "She's seeing where they're playing and she's adjusting. I wish I could take credit for some of the bunts she's dropped this year. As a senior, she has the ability to read it and do what she thinks she can do."
Gammon split time as the starting second baseman for the Blue and Gold her freshman season when Reed won the Northern 4A championship and reached the state championship. Since then, she's been a full-time starter.
"I've had a blast. We've had our ups and downs," she said. "My first year is hard to match (going to state). This year has been close, so hopefully it ends the same way. It's more fun having an impact this year. My freshman year I didn't really play, so I was kind of just watching."
Gammon has come into her own over the years. Last year, Gammon only hit .273 en route to earning second team all-league honors. She needed 45 fewer at-bats this season to surpass last year's totals in hits, runs and RBI. Her defense has also improved.
"I don't think anything has changed. It's just experience. The past couple years, she's either been in the leadoff spot or the No. 2 spot. She plays a lot of travel ball over the summer," Wunder said. "I think having committed to her college already, it's taken a lot of pressure off of her. I think she realizes it's her senior year and she's trying to just have fun. She's got a great supporting cast around her. She recognizes she doesn't have to do everything herself. We're certainly going to miss her next year in that leadoff spot. It's great having some experience.
"She had some errors last year. This year, she's had a couple, but she's cut them way back. I think that's just her playing a lot more confident with all the experience under her belt."
Gammon's improved skills helped her earn an opportunity to continue her playing days in college. In November, Gammon signed a letter-of-intent to play for the University of Montana-Billings next year where she will study business.
Now, her focus is to help the Raiders rebound from last week. Reed has its final three league games this week and playoffs start next week.
"I'm happy it happened last week rather than later. I believe we're pretty strong. We know what we need to do. We'll overcome it." Gammon said. "We just want to play to the best of our ability, and honestly that should be to win regionals. Anything less will be a disappointment."
Gammon is one of three seniors, along with Makaela Moore and Shivaun Landeros, who were part of the 2009 regional champion squad that battled back to the state final after losing its first game of the state tourney. Wunder expects that experience to help come postseason time.
"We're going to look to all our seniors who have been to the playoffs to lead the group as far as the preparation and keeping them loose and keeping the chemistry good," Wunder said. "She's definitely one of the leaders there. There are three of them who made it to state that year. If we're fortunate enough to make it to state, we're not looking past regionals, that experience will pay it forward as well. That's going to be some good leadership to lean on there."

Illegals should be
allowed to obtain
driver's licenses
The Immigrant Welcoming Congregations of Fox Valley and various faith-based groups serving in the immigrant community are urging the Illinois General Assembly to provide the opportunity for immigrants to receive a Temporary Visitor's Driver's License (TVDL).
There are approximately 250,000 Illinois immigrant drivers that cannot get a license because they are ineligible to get Social Security number. Changing the current law to allow immigrants to use an Individual Taxpayer Number (ITIN) as an alternative to a Social Security Number would improve public safety, save money for all drivers and further aid in keeping families together.
The current bills in the legislature would require immigrants to complete driver's education and secure proof of insurance before receiving the TVDL. This would improve public safety. Local law enforcement agencies affirm that this initiative will improve safety for their officers and the general public.
Among those who have supported this measure include Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupus, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran, and Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez. In addition, several faith-based organizations currently call for this legislation to be passed including the Chicago Religious Leadership Network, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Justice for Our Neighbors, the Bishops of the Catholic Conference of Illinois and the Illinois Safety Coalition.
With fewer uninsured drivers on the road, premiums could be reduced for everyone. According to research done by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Illinois Secretary of State, if even half of the currently unlicensed immigrant drivers secured insurance, the cost for an individually policy could be reduced by $59 or more a year.
All too often, a simple traffic stop for some undocumented immigrants leads to deportation proceedings. People who are otherwise law-abiding members of the community are deported leaving behind children, families and other who depend on them. According to the Applied Research Center, in 2011 there were at least 5,100 children in Illinois living in foster care because their parents were either detained or deported.
The Immigrant Welcoming Congregations of Fox Valley calls on the Illinois General Assembly to provide this opportunity for immigrants to receive a Temporary Visitor's Driver's License as a benefit to all the residents of Illinois.

I walked off 11 stone! (From Echo)

Rayleigh man drops 11 stone by walking
6:30am Friday 6th December 2013 in News
A 24-STONE man walked off almost half his body weight in a battle to overcome his sweet tooth.
Mike Cope, 30, from Rayleigh, has seen his weight plummet to just under 13 stone since he started to walk regularly.
On average, Mr Cope will do more than 50 miles a week, including at least three 14-mile round trips to see his mum in Southend.
For every hour Mr Cope walks, he burns off around 350 calories, so his walks are determined by what treats he has eaten the previous day. A 700-calorie treat will be balanced out with at least a two-hour walk the following day.
Mr Cope blames his sweet treat weakness on an addictive personality he inherited from his dad, Mick, 55.
During his heaviest days, Mr Cope, who suffers from a mild learning disability and can often have trouble communicating with people verbally, says he could put on six pounds in a night after scoffing cakes, cookies and crisps.
His dad said: "If he hits his target weight one day, he'll probably have a lie-in and not do a walk.
"The benefit of walking is that it's measurable. When Mike was big we signed him up to the gym, but when he got on the treadmill he just stood on the side of the machine.
"He finds doing the walking is worth the luxury of having a treat – it's his trade-off."
Mr Cope works in Asda in Rayleigh, and said work can sometimes be a struggle when the smell of the bakery wafts around the store.
Mr Cope's story has caught the imagination of residents after a picture was posted on the popular Rayleigh community Facebook page.
Within days, there had been more than 1,000 likes and nearly 200 messages of support.
His dad said: "The response made me cry – I just blubbed. It was lovely to see how people see Mike. It was a real pleasure."

The question must be asked why is he walking around with 11 stones in his pockets, that's just plain weird to me and secondly if he keeps losing them around Rayleigh then put them in a bag or get some trousers with zipped pockets.

Blood Hunt
The Sentinel Wars
Shannon K. Butcher - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
View our feature on Shannon K. Butcher's Blood Hunt.
Hope appeared out of nowhere, naked and alone, a woman without a past. The only thing she knows is that she is imbued with a strange power. It's in her blood. And two men want to posses it. One is Logan, a Sanguiner demon-fighter who needs Hope's essence to survive. The other is Krag, a Synestryn lord whose desire is to enslave Hope, and drain her of the lifeforce. When Hope and Logan both fall prey to Krag, a powerful desire grows between them. But is it enough to thwart their captor's diabolical plan and his demon warriors, and survive a vampire's destiny written in blood?
Dear Reader,
I'm a big ol' nerdy tabletop role playing gamer, so creating races, creatures and a system of magic is one of my favorite parts of writing paranormal romances. A lot of time went into the world building side of the Sentinels before I ever sat down to write a single sentence for the first book. In fact, the whole process took a couple of years of making notes, waking up in the middle of the night to scribble down some possibly incoherent thought, and running out of the shower dripping wet to capture an idea on paper before it was steamed away. I was constantly fighting my horrible memory as well as looking for a balance so that one part of the world didn't contradict another.
I found inspiration in the strangest places. I wanted to create a very vivid, emotional landscape, so much of my creative spark came from music. I couldn't tell you now which songs I was listening to at the time, but I can say that music was a vital component to creating depth and texture. With a stack of notebooks filled with various thoughts and ideas—some better than others—I know I've created more details than will ever actually make it to the page of one of my books, but again, that was part of the fun.
Because I put so much time into the world building side of the work, sharing different facets of the world has always been a thrill. The first four books and shorter works in the "Sentinel War"s have featured the Theronai—the tortured, noble warriors of my world. Their souls are dying, and if they don't find a way to shed some of the power that continuously grows inside of them, they're doomed to become like the creatures they're sworn to fight.
In Blood Hunt, book five of the "Sentinel Wars", I get to delve into the race of the Sanguinar, who are constantly hungry, denied sunlight and eyed with suspicion. Of course these dark, desperate, secretive healers are not all worthy of trust. They've done questionable things for the sake of saving their race from starvation and extinction. And Logan is no different.
Logan is a man with an agenda. He plays nice, like a tame animal, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten how to fight for his people, the blood they need, or for one hunted woman who has the power to slow the death spiral his people are on.
I've always enjoyed dabbling in characters who are painted in shades of gray, and Blood Hunt was one of those special books that allowed me the room to do just that. I truly hope you enjoy it!
Happy Reading!
