They turn off the heater to the hot tub at night and we had to ask them at 9 the next morning to turn it back on. By the time we made it thru breakfast it was hot enough to use. The only drawback is the breakfast area is very small and parents don't supervise their kids and their manors trying to get food. In fact one adult mail just stood at the buffet and ate from there. Pretty Gross. They could use another waffle iron, we had to wait 20 minutes for a turn to use it.
I did not find the staff to friendly or welcoming upon arrival. The room was clean, but it was an older room and the building was showing some wear. I stayed for 2 nights and had no problems with house keeping while there. For the price over the weekend stay in Wendover the hotel was average, however the casino hotels are in much better shape.

Three students have been diagnosed with whooping cough at Shakopee Junior High School.
Shakopee school nurse Judy DeWeese sent a letter to parents on Tuesday informing them of the whooping cough cases and said the district is working with Scott County Public Health to prevent any further cases.
Whooping cough, the common name for pertussis, often begins with symptoms similar to the start of a common cold: runny nose, possible low-grade fever and a mild cough.
After one or two weeks, a persistent cough develops, coming in bursts that may end with a high-pitched whooping sound and sometimes vomiting. These coughing attacks may continue for up to six weeks and are more common at night.
While children can be vaccinated, it's not always 100 percent effective, and immunity decreases over time. Tdap is a pertussis-containing vaccine that is available for older children, adolescents and adults. Parents of children age 10 and older are urged to discuss the Tdap vaccine with their doctor.Last year's whooping cough numbers of 611 in Minnesota were the lowest in fours years, but we've already topped that number this year.

What are the benefits of using the platform solution instead of using GSM terminals as modems?
What are the benefits of using the platform solution instead of using GSM terminals as modems?
Cost savings: faster development, less application development risk, optimisation of the wireless bearer and easy management, provide cost savings during the entire lifecycle of the customer's M2M solution.
Easier development: the Nokia M2M Platform hides networking complexity. SW developers see normal method calls between remote applications and the control and management server.
Faster development: the Nokia M2M Platform provides the protocol layers required. SW developers can concentrate on the application when protocols are hidden.
Less risk: network hiding and tested platform lessen the development project risk.
Wireless bearer choice: The M2M Platform supports major wireless access methods such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and SMS (Short Message Service) and others. Usability of certain bearers depends on the capabilities of the telecom network and the terminals, which are used. More wireless access methods will be implemented according to requirements in M2M markets. Costs for application communications can be optimised by choosing the appropriate bearer.
Standard wireless network: The Nokia M2M Platform uses standard GSM network technology. Widespread and well-known GSM technology provides a robust technical background, while multiple manufacturers and network operators guarantee economic pricing.
Backwards compatibility: With the Nokia M2M Platform, terminal replacement and upgrading for newer versions of Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals are easy.
Openness: CORBA and Wireless CORBA -- The core of the M2M Platform -- are open standards. In addition, Nokia freely provides developers with technical information regarding Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals interfaces and connectors.

Jump and use the parachute whenever it's needed
In Stickman Base Jumper, you need to pack your parachute and jump down many buildings in order to advance through the game and get the best score every time.
There are three stages that need to be unlocked consequently. First of all, play the rookie stage, which isn't even that easy and starts complicating itself from the beginning. Tap on the screen to walk back to gain speed and tap again to make him run and jump, but be sure to open the parachute when the time is right, not before or when it's too late.
The physics are quite nice and the game is easy to learn, with a simple but useful tutorial at the beginning. It's just a game of tapping and tapping again in the right moment: pay attention and use your logic skills.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Drama, Romance, Distribution, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, Movies, CinematicalOn November 20, for the first time ever, a movie will be exclusively distributed via iTunes. Yes, we already heard about this briefly when our own Kevin Kelly talked with Edward Burns at ComicCon. But at the time, Burns had said he would be given a trial run, in which his latest film, Purple Violets, would be available on iTunes for four weeks beginning on October 9. That date has come and gone, and now the New York Times has revealed that the film will actually get a full, exclusive release on November 20. That means you won't be able to see it in theaters, or on DVD, or on Cable. Yet, anyway. Personally, I'm a bit shocked the idea didn't happen sooner. There's tons and tons of indie films out there that can't get good distro. Going with iTunes sounds like a great opportunity to get notice. Plus, with iTunes still only offering less than 1000 movies, and still unable to get titles from all the studios, the service would do well to increase its library with exclusives like this. The idea certainly worked for companies like Netflix, which started exclusive distribution via its Red Envelope Entertainment moniker. Maybe one day, like Red Envelope, iTunes could even produce its own movies.
The Times goes into detail about iTunes distribution, mentioning the strategy of putting Wes Anderson's Hotel Chevalier up for free download, which sparked extra interest in The Darjeeling Limited. It also points out the benefit of having short films on iTunes in general, not just for well-knowns like Anderson. The move can affect DVD rentals, though, according to Burns, who has had difficulty securing video distribution for Purple Violets now that it will be available on iTunes. The movie, which stars Burns, Debra Messing, Patrick Wilson and Selma Blair, premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival, where Eric called it Burns' "best film since The Brothers McMullen ... a more mature film than anything Burns has done in the past."

Ponder's strong finish to the regular season may have gone a long way toward solidifying his spot as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. The offense's dreadful performance in the playoff game against Green Bay with him on the sideline probably didn't hurt his standing, either.||||||| Ponder was a late scratch Saturday night because of a bruised triceps and backup Joe Webb was unable to get anything going in a 24-10 loss that ended Minnesota's surprising season. If the Vikings make any moves at quarterback, it could be to add a veteran backup to Ponder.
Ponder is inactive for Minnesota's wild-card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers because of a right elbow injury.||||||| The surprise announcement about 90 minutes before Saturday's game means Joe Webb will start at quarterback for the Vikings. Ponder was hurt when Packers safety Morgan Burnett delivered a jarring hit on a blitz when the teams played last Sunday. Ponder finished the game with a career-high 120.2 passer rating and three touchdowns in the 37-34 win.
The Minnesota Vikings have listed Ponder as questionable for their playoff game on Saturday against Green Bay.||||||| Ponder was limited in practice all week with a bruised right elbow. He hurt it when it hit a Packers helmet on the follow-through on Sunday, and he remained in the game to finish one of the best performances of his career.
Ponder is dealing with a sore right elbow that has been limiting him in practice this week as they prepare for a playoff game at Green Bay.||||||| Coach Leslie Frazier says he isn't concerned with Ponder's ability to play in the game on Saturday. Frazier says he expects Ponder to ramp it up in practice on Thursday and be ready to go for the third game this season between the division rivals.
Ponder helped the Vikings clinch a playoff spot by going 16 of 28 for 234 yards and three touchdowns in Minnesota's victory against Green Bay on Sunday.||||||| In a season in which Ponder has often been maligned for dragging down the Vikings' offense, he came through in a big way in Minnesota's most important game.

EAST PEORIA, Ill -- The Fondulac District Library in East Peoria is closing its doors for two months starting September 1.
The library's books, magazines and DVD's will soon have a new two story 32,000 square foot home.
"It's a huge undertaking. It's kind of like moving your house, but on a far greater scale," said Library Director Amy Falasz-Peterson.
During the transition, Fondulac library patrons still be able to check out material.
"We're part of the RAILS library system which means with your valid Fondulac District library card, you can go to any one of our local area libraries," said Peterson.
Greg Krause often brings his elderly aunt to the library. He said he is excited for the new reader's paradise.
"She's read just about everything. She gets 10 or 15 books at a time. We're constantly in here, so she's really looking forward to a bigger selection of books we can get," said Krause.
The new library will include a children's area, meeting rooms, 30,000 new books and more than 20 new computers.
Another new feature is a drive-thru service where residents can drop off books and pick up books that they have waiting on hold.
The new library was made possible through a referendum passed by East Peoria residents in April 2009.

Enslaved Biography - Enslaved Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands

Reissue of this 1994 album, the second full-length release from the Norwegian Progressive Metal band. This album is where the band started to incorporate Viking Metal influences to their sound. The Black Metal sections appears to be Enslaved at their fastest and most violent. This would be the last album to feature drummer Trym Torson before he joined Emperor.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
One of the first album of Enslaved, deep in norwegian mountains, very cold, true viking metal !
I think Enslaved are an amazing band, I highly recommend all their work, but unless they plan on delivering the cd via viking long boat themselves, that price is a bit too steep.
I'll assume the price is in error, and this is my half-assed attempt at humor.
So, once it's fixed do yourselves a favor and order it.
there's only a handful of bands that get me as excited as Enslaved! they combine blazing fast drumming with excellent and memorable riffs to create the ultimate in destructive and majestic Viking metal! they write amazingly epic songs of apocalyptic battles fought on misty shores and distant mountains; with an emphasis on violence, bloodshed, and an affiliation with ancient Norse gods. all things in the true Viking spirit, then.
the music on Frost is usually blindingly fast and raw, but with lots of subtle touches that add a dark flourish to the proceedings and keep it interesting for the listener. there are a few keyboard passages popping up for atmospheric effect and even a mouthharp makes an appearance! but even with all these different elements, Enslaved's music remains rooted in the frozen mystical metal world. a world where a thirst for blood and conquest rule, and where victory awaits!
Frost is the second full length album from Enslaved, third official release if you include the split album "Emperor/Enslaved". It's a departure from the remarkable debut "Vikingligr Veldi", an epic that consisted of five 6-11 minute songs. Here most songs are between 4 and 7 minutes, which works very well since the band has been able to cut out the needless guitar riff repetition that was a flaw of the debut. The tracks on "Frost" have all the energy and intensity of the debut but in a pared down format. Also interesting is hearing the mighty Trym on one of his earliest recordings. If you didn't know, Trym went on to join Emperor from the "Anthems" album, and is today one of the preeminent drummers in the extreme metal scene. Vocals are similar to the debut, the same high pitched screeching, and the guitars sound powerful, with acoustic sounds being thrown into this album more, giving it a folk metal feel at times. Less overt use of keyboards this time around too, although there are some sparingly placed electronic sounds thrown in for atmosphere. Mostly though Frost is fast, hard, and powerful metal, not created for selling lots of albums but rather to present the vision of the band. Here is a metal album intended for careful listening not for mindless headbanging and beer drinking. Lyrics are sung in Norwegian, but English translation is included in the well done booklet.Best song: Svarte Vidder

Chicago has already gone through much of its snow removal budget this year. Crews will be putting down more salt this weekend for the coming storm. But are there any side-effects from all that salt?
There definitely are. It affects your car, your pets and in some parts of the city, you can even taste it in the air. FOX 32's Anita Padilla reports on how you can protect your vehicle and your furry friends.
Thursday's snowfall made January 2014 the third snowiest month in Chicago history. The four-tenths of an inch that fell brought this month's snowfall to 33.5 inches so far this year.
Many Chicagoans remember the brutal winter of 1979. In January of that year, just over 40 inches of snow fell making that month second in line.
But the all-time snowiest January for Chicago took place in 1918, when 42.5 inches of snow fell.

The good: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 is a basic compact megazoom with very good photo quality and shooting performance for its class, as well as long battery life.
The bad: The ZS8 is somewhat expensive for what it's offering.
The bottom line: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 is a fine compact megazoom, if not the best value.

Does not measure up to the earlier models, e.g. ZS5.
by mbs1948 on March 30, 2011
Pros: Good battery life
Easy menu
Usable photo quality for snapshots
Cons: AF searches a lot
Soft photos in various scene modes
Auto exposure about -2/3 to -1.0
Toggle between active and review is a real pain
Summary: Unless you really need the extra zoom, stay with the ZS5 or ZS7. Better photo quality. Most of the "people" photos were a bit soft and dark. In max zoom ...
Summary: Unless you really need the extra zoom, stay with the ZS5 or ZS7. Better photo quality. Most of the "people" photos were a bit soft and dark. In max zoom mode, it was either feast or famine...nice and sharp or very soft. This is where the AF seemed to struggle.

Summary: I purchased the camera three months ago in the States for my upcoming 6 months of international travel. The camera stopped auto-focusing rendering it as useful as a paperweight. I attempted to use the chat support option which didn't work and then called Panasonic internationally. I was hung up on 30 minutes into this call after they told me they would not be able to support any repair while I am traveling. Panasonic does not care about customer support or standing behind their product once you take it outside the United States. This was the first and last time that I will EVER purchase a Panasonic product!

Dust quickly renders the Lumix unusable. Don't buy it.
by yankeeguybd on December 7, 2012
Pros: The zoom lens is excellent before dust invades the sensor.
Cons: Dust gets on the sensor, leaving a black spot in the middle of your pics! Don't buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 digital camera because the dust renders the camera unusable after a short time of ownership.

Summary: It's not just me, many other reviews I've read decry the fact the ultra-zoom feature on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 digital camera attracts dust onto the sensor, leaving black spots in the same location on every picture. The camera is rendered useless. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. I will never buy a Panasonic camera again.

Cons: -Terrible durability. Made the mistake of buying 2 of these. Both broke within the first 3 months despite taking extra special care of them

Summary: I made the mistake of buying this camera twice. Both times the camera pictures got black marks on all the photo due to some type of dust getting into the camera. I even took extra special care to keep it clean, leaving it in a zippered case when not in use. The camera is simply made with awful durability. Panasonic must know this as they do not honor their warranty. They give you the run around and don't call you back. Its a shame because the pictures were nice before the ugly black spots appeared. It seems the mega zoom lens in not constructed well allowing dirt and dust in, which ruins your pics with in a few weeks.

Summary: DO NOT EVER BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT BEST BUY!!!!
I purchased a Panasonic Luminx DMC-ZS8 in July 2010. In Aug. 2011 the camera failed after 147 pictures in 13 months. (An internal software program designed to require use of Panosonic Brand Batteries Only would not recognize its own battery.) Under the extended warranty program BEST BUY sent the camera for repair twice. This took over 60 days. On the last return, they said the camera was unrepairable and they would give me a store credit to purchase another camera. I HAD NO CHOICE! The $80 I had paid for an extended warranty was no longer valid after they gave me a store credit. A loss of 3years warranty or $60. The store credit was for $149.00 for a camera that I paid $299 for AN ADDITIONAL LOSS OF $150.

Pros: It takes much better pictures of the dogs than my wife's Cannon. I have only taken pictures of the dogs, so far. The 8 x 10s are professional grade.
Cons: None yet, but I have only had it a couple of weeks.

Poor quality control bad customer service
by SV150 on February 17, 2013
Pros: This was my second one. First one died. Second one had defect. Hard to give a pro with that track record. pictures were decent when it worked. Bad, rude customer service, doesn't stand behind the work.
Cons: This was my second one. First one died. Second one had defect. Panasonic has worst customer service doesn't stand behind it's own repairs, you will be treated with sarcasm and rudeness.

Summary: The only thing you can count on is that Panasonic won't help you. It does not stand behind it's repairs. Worst customer service ever. I'm not a screamer and I'm not dramatic when reporting my problems to the company. I get it, it's technology and things happen but their attitude was obnoxious and rude.
I had two of these. The first one died. I needed the camera in a hurry and being familiar with it, I bought another one. After using the second one for a while, a dark curved line appeared in all my photos. It was under warranty and I sent it back for repair. I was told it was a piece of shaving from the manufacturing process that should not have been inside the lens. It came loose and traveled into the bottom center of the lens. They said they took it apart and blew it out. It seemed fine when I first got it back. I didn't use again for about 8 weeks and when I did, the line was back but now, it was split in two. One piece close to where it was originally, the other at the top portion of the lens. Obviously they broke it up by blowing it around and it got stuck somewhere inside and then dislodged again. Now the camera was out of warranty. They refused to fix it and wanted $180 to do it again.
Why would I pay $180 for the same service that didn't even last 3 months? I sent a complaint letter and got a very sarcastic response and no help.
Obviously, Panasonic has manufacturing issues if my first one died after 16 months and my second one had a quality control issue with dirt or shavings inside the lens. I'm just one consumer. It's hard to believe I had such bad luck getting two lemons back to back. Most of my photographs are taken indoors and the camera is not abused.
Do yourself a favor, buy another company's camera. These don't stand up to time and the company doesn't stand behind the product.
Don't throw away your money on Panasonic products if you want something that will last and doesn't come with quality control issues.

A: dark golden slightly unfiltered color with a thin head.
S: Belgian banana and dark caramel roasted maltiness.
T: alcoholic banana and caramel mixed with a slight lemon an vanilla aftertaste. Quite good to be honest.
M/D: light bodied tight feel. Good drinkability a good session brew just on the line of an everyday beer.

barrel = chardonnay barrel
a: served in a flared snifter, the beer is a dark golden in color, displaying a slight haze, very nice fluffy white head that keeps a good coating throughout
s: a clean pils and pale malt body supports lots of delicate fruit aroma - apricot, peach, pear, and white grape all play a part, perhaps some sweet citrus, oak aromas are delicate - accompanied by a low buttery aroma that really smooths out what is typically a spicier style, light grassy hop aroma, really like this
m: carbonation is on the light side, giving a smooth, silky feel to the light-medium body, kinda prefer my saisons a little more effervescent most of the time, but can dig this as well
t: the pale/pils malt body holds a nice range of fruits - peach, apricot, sweet pear, white grape, soft yeast flavors, moderately sweet and delicately buttery towards the middle but cleans nicely with a light bitterness to finish, oak pushes through lightly at this point, hop flavors mild and grassy, very smooth and without any sharp edges
o: the barrels seem to have given some nice fruits and really smoothed things out, it's a creative and complimentary tweak to the style, and makes for a great end product

Pours a dull light to medium golden with a thinner lacey white head atop.Aromas of sweet onions and mango with a bit of grass,good hop complexity from a single hop,Iam liking the Mosaic variety.The sweet onion is in full effect on the palate along with some grassy tones and tropical fruit,some caramel sugary sweetness is there standing up against the hops all the way.A few others have said this a heavy feeling beer and I tend to agree it's to me an Imperial Pale Ale if there is/was a style like that.A good beer to be had from one of my favorite breweries.

A: A dark golden beer with good clarity and a rocky off-white head. It pours with a finger of foam and has good head retention. A light dusting of sediment at the bootle noted.
S: An herbal and tropical fruit hops aroma with notes of fresh cut grass, pineapple and melon. There is a moderate malt sweetness to the nose and a light alcohol sweetness.
T: A medium-strong hops bitterness with a strong hops flavors of melon, pineapple, fresh herbs that are a bit more like rosemary thanks to the pine-like note along with a hint of earthy and pepper flavors. There is a moderate malt support bring a light sweetness but the balance is firmly bitter. The hops flavor lingers past the off-dry finish.
M: A medium bodied beer with medium-strong carbonation a slight warmth.
O: A great balance of tropical fruit flavors, bitterness and malt sweetness making for an enjoyable IPA.

12oz bottle into a Southern Tier branded Pumpking goblet. Pours a slightly copper-orange with a white fluffy 1" head that lingers as it settles and clings to the glass as its consumed.
Immediately get lots of bright hop notes wafting from the glass that are very earthy yet still retaining some nice citrus and pine resin qualities.
The bittering malt used is uniquely present at first sip, very sweet to my palate then fading from sweet to bitter, as the mosaic hops flourish. Beer finishes quite dry and bitter.
Had to look up the abv on this one, surprisingly rang in at 8% and that caught me off guard. Doesnt taste like a higher abv pale ale. The balance of single hop and malt really play well with each other but I would lean toward this being a tad closer to the malty than hoppy.
The first bottle I poured had quite a bit of sediment that collected at the bottom of the glass. 2nd bottle I poured more gingerly and left the last oz or 2 in the bottle, as to not fill my glass with sediment.
Overall the beer was quite enjoyable all things considered. Im a fan of the mosiac hop its a $10 6-pack, 8%abv and very easy on the palate. I say this being not a huge fan of most Southern Tier brews as well. Well executed but has room for definite improvement.

12 ounce bottle, Born on dating of 1-19-14
Pours near clear, glowing medium amber with a dull orange hue, medium khaki head, stays pretty well and leaves fine ringed and scattered lace.
Mostly malt on the nose. Tasty brew with a moderate hop snap with some pine, lime and lite gin notes shining through. Well done STBC, this is one you can enjoy all night and come back to over and over again.

12 oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a snifter. Bottled on 1/16/2014 (~1 1/2 months old)
Pours a somewhat light glowing orange color, very clear other than a little bit of some fine sediment. Forms decent layer of white head, not the best retention, head nearly gone halfway through the glass. Some pretty good lacing is left however.
Initially aroma is metallic and missing some of the bigger hop aromas I got smelling from the bottle. As it warms there is a nice hop aroma that comes in, juicy fresh peach, definatly tropical fruit, some tangerine and grapefruit citrus as well with hints of lemon. Very green smelling. A slight hint of booze on the backend. Really no malt detectable.
The taste is much lighter than you would guess when considering the ABV. Similar to other hoppy southern tier beers I've had if not a touch above. Again very green, almost grassy, juicy peach, this nice sweet hopiness, lots of citrus, grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, some tropical fruits as well. Malt again is really nearly undetectable and absolutely zero alcohol. Finishes a bit on the dry end.
Its hard to believe this is 8.1% on the light side. Very refreshing and crisp. I was a bit confused why they would call this a pale ale, but now I can kind of see why, but this can definatly pass as an IPA as well.
A very well made beer. Don't know many breweries that are making SMASH beers so kudos to ST. This ones a winner. Hope to see different versions of this.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice. Bottled on 01/14/14.
Appearance: Pours an unfiltered and bright golden orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. Solid two fingers of white head with decent retention. Leaves a lot of lacing.
Smell: A ripe and juicy hop forward aroma with good hints of citrus fruit and pine. Upfront citrus hops with hints of grapefruit, orange peel, mango, lemon, pineapple, apricot, and melon. Earthy and floral hop hints of grass and pine. Sweet malt backing with hints of caramel, grains, and cracker. Also some light hints of pepper. A very juicy tropical aroma. Pretty nice.
Taste: As good as the smell, a very juicy and tropical hop forward taste with lots of citrus. Upfront taste of citrus hops with notes of grapefruit, mango, orange peel, apricot, lemon, pineapple, tangerine, and melon. Earthy and floral hop notes as well. Some grass and spicy pine resin. Slight pepper like taste. Solid malt background with notes of sweet caramel, cracker, and grains. A very good tropical taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Juicy and fairly oily with a drying finish. Alcohol is masked nicely.
Overall: A really impressive new brew here. Has the tropical fruit taste of a good double IPA. One of the best new beers this year so far.

Poured into pint glass
A: Outstanding. Yellowish copper I guess with floating sediment.
S: Not much to get excited about. Bready malts, sugar, caramel. Hops on the nose similar to other pale ales.
T: Sweet and tasty, not bad . . .very drinkable with a nice bitter finish
M: light bodied, ok.
O: A good American Pale Ale . . . Not great. Southern Tier knows how to brew solid beer and 2XONE is another solid beer. I probably won't revisit this one but I would love to see it canned and the abv dropped a tad.

The 2011 NBA Finals schedule is now set, thanks to the Miami Heat's Game 5 win over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. The victory launched Miami to a 4-1 win in the Eastern Conference Finals. On Wednesday, the Dallas Mavericks knocked off the Oklahoma City Thunder at home to give the Mavs a 4-1 series victory in the Western Conference Finals.
The quick work by the Heat and Mavericks means the NBA Finals schedule moves up a bit. Originally slated to begin on June 2, the NBA moved up the Finals series' Game 1 to Tuesday, May 31. That still gives the league a full four days off in between series.
Here's the full schedule for the Finals. All times are Easter, and all games will be broadcast on ABC in the United States and TSN in Canada.
Game 1: Tue., May 31 in Miami, 9 p.m.
Game 2: Thu., June 2 in Miami, 9 p.m.
Game 3: Sun., June 5 in Dallas, 8 p.m.
Game 4: Tue., June 7 in Dallas, 9 p.m.
Game 5: Thu., June 9 in Dallas, 9 p.m.
Game 6: Sun., June 12 in Miami, 8 p.m.
Game 7: Tue., June 14 in Miami, 9 p.m.
Be sure to follow our 2011 NBA Finals hub. For more on the Mavericks, visit Mavs Moneyball and SB Nation Dallas. For more on the Heat, visit Peninsula Is Mightier.

- — Recycling is one thing, but a composting toilet? That's when you know you're taking the going-green trend to its, um, "natural" conclusion.
While many home owners and builders are beginning to make changes to homes to incorporate eco-friendly products and materials, these are just the bud of the going-green trend. To really get the low-down on what the seriously green-minded homeowners can do to help the cause, we've rounded up a list of fixes that can be done in a house, whether it was built in 1912 or 2012.
Update your bulbs
You're going to have to change out your standard incandescent bulbs eventually. This year marked the first stage of phasing out 100-watt incandescent bulbs under the CLEAN Energy Act, but 70-, 60- and 40-watt bulbs are next on the chopping block. Switching to compact fluorescent lights (CFL) or LEDs not only conserves significant electricity, but significant savings as well — more than $57 over the life of the CFL, one report found.
Energy-star appliances
One of the simplest ways to upgrade your home in a green way is to purchase an energy-saving appliance. The best bet is to find one that earns the government's "Energy Star" rating. The appliances are designed to reduce greenhouse emissions as well as your energy usage over time. Many products can mean tax rebates for your green efforts. This Alameda home for sale (below) includes all energy-saving appliances in the kitchen.
Reuse rain water
The simplest place to reuse rain water? In your garden. By installing an affordable rain barrel that catches runoff from your roof or gutters, you can save enough rain to water your lawn or growing spring garden.
Get geothermal
Even if your home state is plagued by cold winters or blistering hot summers, did you know that below the frost line the ground stays about the same temperature year-round? By tapping into this, you can cool or heat your home in a very eco-friendly way. This isn't a way to create electricity, but rather reduce the amount of energy you use to maintain your home's temperature. Installing a geothermal system isn't cheap (estimates range from $11,000 to $30,000 for a 2,000-sq ft home), but with tax incentives and significant energy bill reductions, the savings are incredible. If you plan on being in your home for a long time, it could be worth it and perhaps add to your home's re-sale value.

Re:Which toe piece
Submitted by community_manager on Thu, 05/01/2012 - 15:17.
Hello Charlie, Yes you can choose the flexible front toe instead of the bailwire, it's not an issue if you grind a little the side of the shoe. It's not a problem for the front points. Thanks for your support. Sincerely

Boarding: Parking at the cruise terminal was fast and easy. There was a long line but we were checked in and on the ship within 30 to 45 minutes.
Rooms: We had two ocean view rooms in the very back of the ship in the center. Rooms M262 and M269. Don't choose M262 because there is an staff stairwell directly across from your door. All throughout the night you will hear that door slam and your door rattle. My kids in the room next to us heard nothing. So choose that one. Because we were in the center of the ship we had one room steward and my kids had a different one. Ours was FANTASTIC. The kids not so much. We would come back to the room and it would be serviced and we would have to wait hours for the kids room to be done. The rooms were clean however, I did notice mold in the showers and a large rip in the carpet.
Food: My expectation was low and that is about what I got. Think golden corral for buffets and a bit nicer for the dining room. I had steak one night and it was not good. My husband ordered seafood and was happy. The kids were able to order of the regular menu and kids menu depending on the menu options available. The staff was nice but we were often overlooked as a small table of 4.
Children's Activities: I was really disappointed in this program. My boys did not like the activities. My oldest just wanted to go to Circle C and was not old enough. He is in 6th grade and most of his peers are 12 so he felt as though he was stuck with the babies. My 9 year old also thought the camp counselor was mean. They tried a couple of different activities but did not like the group at all. I saw several of the older groups of kids (12- 14) just wondering the boat. Carnival just needs to add a game room with Wii, Playstation, and Xbox and my boys would have been happy. Or maybe just ping pong and a pool table. They need more for this age group. Anything would have been better....
Shows: We attended the comedy shows and really liked them. The comedians were really good. They even had family friendly shows so we could all attend. The 80s show my husband and I liked (cheesy) but the kids kept asking when it would be over.
Ports: Freeport was great because we did a tour through Pat and Diane. It was very well run and the boat with rock climbing wall was fun. We wish we would have had more time to wonder around the beautiful shopping area. The ship was supposed to dock here on day 1 but could not because of the high seas. They rescheduled for day 3 which was Easter sunday. We went to Atlantis and did the waterpark during our Nassau port day. It is a HUGE place but we had a great time. We saved money by buying the tickets directly at Atlantis.
Doctor: This is the part that I was surprised by. I was really sea sick due to the high seas the first night. I spoke to our cabin steward and my son's cabin steward and they gave me different answers as to the availability of the doctor on board. When I made it down to the doctor's office it closed at 6pm!! There was no sign as to what to do if you needed a doctor. So I headed to the gift shop for the sea bands. When I got there I also asked about the doctor and they were clueless. They sold me the sea bands and oil to go behind my ears. I was already taking Bonine and it was doing nothing... I returned to my room more sick than ever but was able to sleep it off. My question was if there was a real emergency then what would these workers do? They obviously had NO training at all as to handle a sick passenger.
Overall: I was I impressed by this outdated small ship - No. But it was a good first cruise for the kids and it fit into our budget. We will be cruising again with carnival on short trips but I will be keeping my expectations low....

For four decades, consecutive generations of the Assad family -- Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father as Syrian president in 2000 -- have interfered in Lebanon to the west, and Iraq to the east. Syrian agents assassinated rivals and pumped in fighters.
Diplomacy remains the favored option as the U.S. grapples with how best to deal with Syria, but the U.S. military has drawn up plans to use if diplomacy fails.
Syria will soon complete its official investigation into last week's massacre in Houla, the country's U.N. ambassador said Wednesday.

A Washington Park man has been charged with shooting a man to death on an Englewood porch last week.
Victor Willis, 22, allegedly shot and killed 25-year-old John Wallace during an argument Sept. 1 in the 6400 block of South Morgan Street, police said.
The men argued on a porch about 11:30 p.m. and Willis left and said, "I'll be back with my gun," according to police.
A short time later, he allegedly returned and shot Wallace several times, police said.
Wallace was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
Willis, of the 5700 block of South Michigan Avenue, was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder, police said. He is expected to appear in bond court Friday.

The Internet has made it downright easy for jurors to research the cases to which they are assigned, a breach of the rules that could lead to a phenomenon known as the "Google mistrial."
In the U.S., examples of jurors snooping outside of court are legion. Their punishment for such transgressions is typically minor — a small fine or, in the rare case, a few nights in the clink.

CATEGORIES Movies"Hugo"
Nominated For: Best Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Adapted Screenplay (John Logan), Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing
What's It About: Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) is an orphaned boy, living behind the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris; when he's not scrounging for food or maintaining all the clocks in the massive station by himself, he struggles to repair a broken toy -- a wind-up automaton with the ability to write -- in the hopes of uncovering a lost message from his departed father. He's aided in his quest by an educated young lady named Isabelle (Chloe Moretz), but the two adventurers must solve the mystery of the mechanical man in secret, or else they will fall victim to the wrath of the station's Inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen) and Isabelle's uncle, a mean old shopkeeper (Ben Kingsley) who may have a deeper connection to the mystery than they realize.
Why You Should See It: The term "movie magic" gets thrown around a lot -- and usually gets wasted as some patter for schmaltz -- but "Hugo" is the real deal when it comes to a magical cinematic experience. What starts out as a charming, enjoyable family adventure blossoms into a glowing love letter to an important time in art history: the developing world of the silent film industry. A lot of press has been focused on "The Artist," but "Hugo," under the auteur eye of Scorsese, shows how the creative spirit of silent movie pioneers were akin to modern fairy tales. As for Marty's direction: everyone seems to think of him as just a "mob movie director," but "Hugo" might be the best example yet at his versatility and the depth of his visual pallet. He did what many thought was impossible and made a 3D family film that pops with so much energy and cinematic flair that it's actually worth paying to see in a theater. "Hugo" is not an easily classifiable film; Paramount tried to market it as a new "Harry Potter," when that wasn't the case at all. But if we could try to describe what makes it such a joy to watch, it's that it uses all the artistic possibility of movies to tell a heart-warming story about said artistic possibility of movies.
It's Kind Of Like: A "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"-style family film meets Francois Truffaut's love letter to movie-making, "Day For Night."
How You Can See It: It's still playing in some theaters. (Check local listings) It arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, OnDemand and Digital Download on February 28.

Nokia just released 'Nokia Imaging SDK' version 1, however now I can not use a Stream download image since SDK' StreamImageSource tries to use Stream.Length which is unavailable for Async Stream. Any suggestions of how can I get around this issue?
here is my code
Code:HttpClient c = new HttpClient(); Stream orgImageStream = await c.GetStreamAsync(imageUri); var imageSource = new StreamImageSource(orgImageStream); //fails here since he tries to use Stream.Length
