Free Solution Automatically Syncs Mobile Transaction & Customer Data to Boost Business Efficiency
SAN ANTONIO, June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Flint Mobile today announced the integration of its no-card-reader mobile payment app with Intuit's QuickBooks Online, expediting end-to-end operations for small businesses that work outside traditional storefront environments. Flint is the only mobile phone-based payment app that automatically syncs all transactions, line item information and customer information with the user's QuickBooks Online account, eliminating manual data entry while also providing detailed reporting and customer history tracking not available with other platform integrations.
These features extend Flint's benefits for mobile business management, including the ability to take payments by scanning the card number with the camera instead of swiping with extra hardware, send invoices for easy online bill payment, handle cash and checks as well as card payments, and manage customized coupons with Apple Passbook integration. Merchants can begin accepting payments instantly with no need for a merchant account or waiting period for hardware delivery. The app is free to download with simple transaction fees of 1.95% for debit card payments, 2.95% for credit cards, and no fees for managing cash, checks, invoices or coupons.
QuickBooks Online customers who have not yet adopted Flint for their mobile payment needs can activate accounts in less than two minutes as part of the integration process. The solution is available free of charge on Intuit's apps.com marketplace at http://appcenter.intuit.com/flint.
"Intuit is committed to creating a powerful ecosystem of integrated apps for our millions of QuickBooks customers," said Ronny Tey, Group Marketing Manager for QuickBooks Apps.com. "For many service businesses, integrating QuickBooks Online with a mobile payment application brings big efficiency gains. Having Flint integrated into the QuickBooks Ecosystem will help many of these businesses work faster and smarter."
The integration – available immediately – features:
"Taking payments by smartphone is essential for businesses like contractors, photographers, IT consultants, and health, beauty and fitness professionals who do business either partially or entirely in the field. One of the common challenges is to efficiently link that information to your accounting system," said Flint co-founder and CEO Greg Goldfarb. "Connecting Flint to QuickBooks Online provides seamless integration that not only reduces paperwork but also helps users analyze their revenue stream down to the service or product item, promotional offer or sales tax in order to optimize their business."
Flint is a Silver Sponsor at Scaling New Heights in San Antonio this week. Scaling New Heights is the leading Intuit ProAdvisor community event, conducted in cooperation with Intuit. Flint will be demoing the integrated solution both at Booth #71 and at the Intuit demo pavilion.

As Panthers fans, we already know that the offensive line is one of the weaker parts of the team. We've seen that evidenced by the lack of a consistent running game and Cam Newton's necessity to escape the pocket sooner than he probably wants to leave.
We're not the only ones who've noticed. Evan Silva of Rotoworld has published a ranking of all 32 offensive lines in the NFL, and the Panthers are - as expected - not rated highly at all. In fact, the Panthers are ranked the worst among all the teams in the NFC South, and are in the bottom third of the entire league.
Here's Silva with his ranking:
(Note: number in parentheses indicates number of returning starters. Players with asterisks denote new starters.)23. Carolina Panthers (5)
2012 Run Block Rankings: 10 (Pro Football Focus), 30 (Football Outsiders)
2012 Pass Block Rankings: 27 (PFF), 21 (FO)
LT: Jordan Gross
LG: Amini Silatolu
C: Ryan Kalil*
RG: Geoff Hangartner
RT: Byron Bell
Super Sub: T/G Garry Williams
Overview: Although Kalil has been Carolina's stalwart center since breaking into the starting lineup in 2008, he is listed as a "new starter" here because he missed all but five games last season with a Lisfranc fracture. Hangartner slid to center and guard Jeff Byers was forced onto the first string with largely disastrous results.
Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams slugged their way to a combined 4.03 YPC average while Cam Newton's sack rate rose from 6.3 to 6.9 percent of his dropbacks. Kalil's return will help the up-front cause, but Hangartner is still penciled in at right guard and Bell graded out 60th-of-80 qualifying tackles in Pro Football Focus' 2012 ratings. Cap-strapped Carolina didn't have financial means to address the line much this offseason. The only notable reinforcement is fourth-round guard Edmund Kugbila, a project from Valdosta State.
While having a mobile QB like Newton can mitigate some deficiencies in the offensive line, the Panthers certainly need to improve that group if they want to build a serious playoff contender. Getting Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil back in the starting lineup will go a long way in improving the Panthers' subpar performance from 2012, and the maturation of left guard Amini Silatolu should also give Cam Newton better protection than he had last season.
If the Panthers can stay away from the injury bug that plagued them last year they should see some drastic improvement in 2013, so we should hope against all hope that all the hog mollies can stay healthy.
On the bright side, they can't get much worse than they were last year, so at least there's that.
What do you think about Silva's rankings? Do you agree or disagree? Tell us what you think!

Curphey's water woes
Residence for army veterans hit hard by drought
BY ALICIA SUTHERLAND Observer staff reporter firstname.lastname@example.com
MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Administrators of Curphey Home for army veterans, close to Cross Keys in south Manchester, are struggling to adequately supply the facility with water.
Curphy Home was established by the Jamaica Legion — an organisation formed after World War II — to cater to needy ex-servicemen and women of the British Commonwealth.
Despite a tough economy and the inevitable challenges that come with caring for the elderly, the doors have been kept open since the first four residents occupied the facility in 1957.
However, former member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) and Superintendent of the Home, Clifton Irwin, said that water shortage is a "sore point" especially in the traditionally dry first quarter of the year.
On Friday he told the Jamaica Observer Central that there is barely enough water to serve the residents. Only one of four rainwater catchment concrete tanks has a small amount of water, he said.
Irwin said the purchasing of water from private contractors is an option. However, the cost for a load of privately delivered water is $17, 500 — a cost the Home cannot consistently bear. Aditionally, he said, one load of water is never sufficient.
Irwin believes the Manchester Parish Council could do more to assist Curphey Home with water.
"If (they) give us two loads per month we would be able to survive," said Irwin.
He said that he has been in dialogue with Councillor Anthony Bryce (PNP- Newport Division) and was told that the water truck at the Council is down.
Bryce confirmed with Observer Central that the only water truck available to the Manchester Parish Council is down. A mechanical part for the truck is being sourced overseas, he said.
According to Bryce, once the truck is available, provision could be made for Curphey Home to get one load of water from the Manchester Parish Council every month.
Much of south Manchester, including Cross Keys, is without piped water from the National Water Commission (NWC). Residents rely on rainwater harvesting as well as trucked water.
Irwin, who has been superintendent since 1999, said that the now mothballed Alumina Partners of Jamaica (ALPART) was of great help with water for many years.
The support ended with the closure of bauxite/alumina operations in 2009, he said.
Curphey Home is currently occupied by 13 residents —12 males and one female — eight ancillary staff and three administrative staff members.
According to Irwin, it is the only one of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean and stays afloat mainly through funding from the "Poppy Appeal".
Also, there is a subvention from the British and the Jamaican governments which is sent to the Jamaica Legion headquarters in Kingston and relayed to the Home.
Support has also come through fund-raising by parish custodes and from service clubs. The Red Cross ambulance in Manchester assists with transporting residents to hospital, he said.
The JDF provides ongoing infrastructural repairs at the aging facility.
When the Observer Central visited Curphey Home last month members of the JDF Engineering Regiment were carrying out a renovation project.
"We try to give the best care we can," said Irwin.
Eighty-nine-year-old former member of the Royal Air Force Kenneth Smith has been a resident at the home since last April.
He said he joined the Royal Air Force about 1941 and served all over Jamaica before he was "honourably discharged".
He appears a contented man despite being wheelchair-bound.
"There was nothing sad about war to (us). We (were) young and fresh and we ready for it. Life is a pleasure to me. Sometimes when you think (that) you can't move around it bring a sad moment to you... but you know you age and you respect you age," he told Observer Central.
Irwin said that the home, sited on 55 acres of land, was not "structured" for females originally.
However, 88-year-old Elaine Vermont, affectionately called "Miss Lue", became a resident after hurricane Ivan, which wreaked havoc on Jamaica in 2004, also destroyed her home in Waltham, Manchester, where she lived alone.
Vermont, a former Women's Royal Army Core pay clerk said that the experience at Curphey Home is "quite alright".
Irwin said that there are now plans to reconfigure an existing building into a female dormitory with up to six bed spaces.
Curphey Home is reportedly named after the late Colonel Sir Aldington Curphey, one of the founders of the Jamaica Legion.

OPT FAQ's
What is OPT?
OPT is defined as "temporary employment for practical training directly related to the student's major area of study." [8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)(ii)] OPT allows F-1 students to gain practical experience in their field of study for one year following program completion. All students are eligible to apply for OPT as long as application procedures are followed. Students who study English are not eligible for OPT.
What are the pre-conditions for OPT?
- You must be in F-1 status at the time of the application.
- You must be in good F-1 status.
- You must have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis at a DHS-approved school for one full academic year.
- It is available before and after completion of your educational objective, but different rules apply to pre- and post-completion OPT.
- Students in English language training programs are not eligible.
How do I maintain status while on OPT?
While you were a student you maintained status by taking 12 units every semester and not engaging in unauthorized employment. On OPT, you must also follow the following guidelines to maintain your student status:
- Do not have more than 90 days of unemployment. Unemployment is counted during the validity period (from-to dates) on the EAD card.
- Employment must be at least 20 hours per week and may include:
- Paid employment
- Multiple employers
- Contract or independent contract
- Self-employed business owner (must show business license and evidence of engaging in business)
- Employment agency
- Unpaid or volunteer employment
Be aware that if you travel for long periods of time (more than 30 days) outside the US, or if you do not have a job offer when you attempt to re-enter the US, the port of entry officer at the airport may question your true intentions. It is within the power of the official at the port of entry to deny you admittance.
NOTE: It is your responsibility to keep your SEVIS record updated while in OPT status: The address you use on the OPT application form (I-765) will be temporarily entered in SEVIS for processing purposes. Once you receive the EAD (I-797D) from the USCIS, you must report your current address to the Office of International Services immediately. Again, you need to report any change of address within 10 days of that change.
How do I apply for OPT?
- You must apply for and receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD/I-797D) from USCIS with the assistance of the DSO in OIS before you can begin work.
- The application must be properly filed with the USCIS before the end of your 60-day grace period following your program of study. Download Form I-765 from the USCIS website. Click on the Immigration Forms tab and scroll down to Form I-765.
- You must begin the application process sufficiently in advance to allow the DSO to update the SEVIS record with the recommendation, and to ensure that the I-765 is accepted by USCIS prior to your program completion date. USCIS will accept applications up to 90 days before the end of your program.
Where can you work while in OPT?
You can engage in OPT for any employer in the US. as long as the employment is related to your field of study and the work is appropriate for master level's work. You may work for more than one employer and/or change employers without USCIS authorization during your authorized OPT period, but you must remember to report your employment to OIS. The work may be paid or unpaid. You may work as an independent contractor or even your own business.
Can I travel outside the US while my OPT application is pending?
You should wait for your OPT to be approved and be in receipt of the actual card before traveling outside of the U.S. If you must leave the country while your OPT application is pending, then you should be sure to carry your receipt notice from USCIS as well as a letter of support from the Office of International Services. If you do not have a valid visa and your OPT application is still pending, it is strongly recommended that you wait for the approval before applying for a new visa.
Can I travel outside the US while I am on OPT?
A student engaged in OPT before completion of studies follows the same procedure for visits abroad and re-entry as all F-1 students.If you engage in OPT following the completion of your studies and you travel outside the US temporarily (less than 5 months), you can be readmitted to resume employment for the remainder of the period authorized on your EAD card provided you present the following:
- Your valid Form I-20 signed by one of the designated school officials at MIIS within the last 6 months at the time of re-entry
- Your unexpired EAD,
- A valid passport with a valid F-1 visa, and
- A letter from your employer verifying your employment
What is the processing time for the employment application with USCIS
It can vary but it is important to expect 45 to 70 days. Check your application status.
How long is the employment authorizaion while on OPT? Can it be extended?
You can do OPT for a cumulative maximum of 12 months during any uninterrupted stay in F-1 status. You may be authorized to do 12 months of OPT following each educational level, e.g., MA→PhD. For students who majored in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics), there is an additional 17-month extension; however, MIIS majors to not qualify. There may also be an extension of OPT if you have an approved or receipted H-1b application. Ask the OIS for more information on this.

Database Architecture Help
Hey guys,
I am no database expert. I have worked with databases for a long time, but do not have experience with the best practices, so am asking some advice here hoping for some help I am re-creating a central database for some of my websites and want to make sure I launch with the best (most flexible) architecture possible. Design is based around games and their features:
The main table is 'games' and contains all fields that are ALWAYS COMMON to the games that will be in the system. At the bottom there are 2 unique identifiers. Those will be joined with the appropriate tables to bring in the xxxxxx_name from the associated tables.
the problem I have are some of the other tables:
Example: GAME_CATEGORIES table. This one will have all different types of 'categories' that I want to be able to associate with the game. A game can have multiple categories.
It is the same with GAME_FEATURES and GAME_SYMBOLS.
How should I best architect this? Is my current architecture ok? Do I create 3 association tables with game_uid, xxxxxx_uid to associate each?
Thank you in advance.

When I have a one to many relationship such as your GAME_CATEGORIES as it relates to GAMES, I usually use an intermediate table. So GAMES has an ID and each GAMES_CATEGORIES has an ID. I create a third table that sits in the middle:
You might have multiple rows in this table with duplicate GAME_ID values, but each GAME_ID value should have a unique CATEGORY_ID value. So if game 55 was in categories 2, 4 and 6, your table might look like:
1 | 55 | 2
2 | 55 | 4
3 | 55 | 6
There may be a more eloquent way of handling this, but it's always worked for me and I've not had performance issues in the past, assuming indexes are created properly.TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE YOUR MIND.

ok. that is the way I have always done it, just wasn't sure it was the best way. Since I have 3 tables (Categories, Features, Symbols) that will require association tables, I didn't want it to be crazy-complex for joins. I had a similar structure (but slightly different) on another system and it was difficult to come up with the multi-joins to make the data return properly

|Climbed the southwest talus slope with a party totaling four on a spectacular July day. Spotted 16 elk in west Twin Lake in the basin far to the south, which was unexpected and very thrilling. Fun route, with an exposed class III/IV move that requires careful maneuvering. Ran into 10+ people on the way down, which made for a frustrating descent. Be aware of rockfall danger on the route - chances are there will be other folks out on the mountain.

|Yes a glorius adventure and a super easy approach make this one of Glacier's most popular. It is despite the angle in pictures, a walk, or practically a swim up loose scree, but not a climb, unless you deviate from the standard route. Can be climbed with impressive but wearying Dragon's Tail. Like all Glacier Peaks, you will feel so far above the rest of the world you never want to come down, and the shots of Bearhat across Hidden Lake will make you drool to climb Bearhat. Of the two, Bearhat is harder, more fun, and offers better photography, though both are great. But snapping Reynolds and that incredible horn shape from Bearhat trumps anything Reynolds can offer. They are not doable in the same day.

The University of Maine is a unique educational community where a large number of students and employees interact in a relatively small, shared environment. The work and mission of this community centers around its role as an educational institution where all individuals will be treated equally and where discrimination will not be tolerated.
Furthermore, the University believes that the most viable and appropriate method of preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS is through a comprehensive, integrated, and ongoing process of education designed to enhance life skills such as communication, assertion, problem solving, and safer sex practices while increasing community awareness of the disease process.
The University believes that the community response to individuals with HIV/ AIDS must be a caring and compassionate one. In addition, the University advocates individual dignity and freedom of choice, and believes that all individual rights must be protected. Consequently, community members who have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), or any evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection) will not be discriminated against in any way, and their personal right of privacy will be respected.
Students and employees with AIDS or evidence of HIV infection shall be afforded the same unrestricted classroom attendance, working conditions, use of University facilities, and participation in University activities as any other member of our community.

text: After the Seahawks' first drive ended in a London Fletcher sack of Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins have expanded their lead against Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. RG III completed his second four-yard touchdown pass of the game - this time to Logan Paulsen, to make the score 14-0 Washington. It was Paulsen's second catch of the drive - on the first he rumbled forward for 11 yards. Griffin was hit after the play (roughing the passer was called), and came up favoring his knee.

Timlin's status for opener in doubt
Right-hander suffered hand injury pitching in Triple-A game
TOKYO -- Amid the craziness of Wednesday's getaway day in Fort Myers, Fla., Red Sox reliever Mike Timlin suffered an injury to his right ring finger that has left his status for Tuesday's opener against the A's in doubt.
Timlin suffered the injury on a comebacker in a Triple-A game.
The setup man had to get two stitches in the finger.
"I don't know yet," Timlin said of being ready for the opener. "We have to check it out. I can play catch. The ball hit me off the end of the finger. I tried to get my hand out of the way, actually. I wasn't trying to reach and catch the ball."
The Red Sox must set their 25-man roster before the opener against Oakland.
"His availability is certainly in question," said Francona.
The good news is that center fielder Coco Crisp is probable, as he just recently started playing in games after being sidelined with a groin injury.
If Crisp isn't activated for the two regular season games in Tokyo, Francona is confident he'll be ready by the time the Sox resume their schedule in Oakland on April 1.
At this point, rust is more of an issue for Crisp than health. Even if he can serve as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement, the Sox will probably activate him for the games in Tokyo.

What is Digital Camera:
- Digital camera work basic principles: light - electricity - digital signal transfer and change. Through the light sensor signal into a current signal into analog and then digital signal processing by a dedicated chip, and filtering the information obtained to restore it is what we see a dynamic picture
Some Reasons Affect the Image Quality:
- Camera Image is Not Good. This failure generally can be divided into three cases, one is shown in the viewfinder image and the TV is not ideal, leading to the reasons for this failure is usually in the camera circuit; Second, the viewfinder image normal and the TV show bad image, in which case AC adapter or failure is usually caused by poor line connection; third is the TV image viewfinder image normal and bad reasons for this failure is usually caused by a viewfinder
- The Image Color is Not Natural. If the tape monitor records the image normal and five color or color negative, in general, failure occurred in the video section: On the contrary, if the tape recording monitor image is not normal and normal, was caused by AC adapter or a bad connection. If both are negative, the fault in the camera circuit
- Image Blur, Focus is Not Good. If the manual focus well and auto-focus poor, often malfunction in the automatic focusing circuit. If the manual and automatic focus are bad, the fault component, mainly in the lens focus
- No Audio Playback Images. In such cases, can be taken with a tape recorder into the common normal replay, monitor sound effects. If the sound normal, the fault in the AC adapter; the other hand, failure in the audio and microphone recording microphone circuit or circuits
- The Machine Does Not Work. After booting the keys had no role in the viewfinder no light, the box body does not work. Such power failures are usually caused by abnormal or power circuits. Should first check the battery voltage or AC AC adapter output voltage is normal, if normal then the fault in the power circuit.
- Tape Handling Failure. Viewfinder and monitor can be displayed the image when shooting, but the tape is not loaded into or take it out. Such failure generally occurs in the movement and its drive circuit
- Avoid highlight, high or cold temperature, water, shock, collision, corrosion, smoke, dust, magnetic, X-ray etc.
- Only when it is in great need, a little bit of dust will not affect the image quality. When you need cleaning, it shall use a soft brush, such as the sable brush or hair dryer to remove dust. If you want to wipe the lens, you should use the pump to blow away the dust, wipe it with lens paper
- You can use a transparent display protection sticker to protect the screen
How Does a Digital Camcorder Work:
- Consumer Video: Digital camcorders work by translating camera images into electronic signals and then into digital bytes. They use the original idea of the camera --- a lens to focus the image and a shutter to capture it --- but replace the light-sensitive film with an image sensor, a charge-coupled device
- Digital Recording: Digital camcorders change the analog image coming into the lens and the analog sound coming into the microphone to bytes of digital data. These bytes then are encoded onto media such as a hard disc, memory card, digital videotape or DVD. From there, you can transfer the digital video to a computer to edit and burn copies. The original can stay intact while copies can be altered, edited and have sound or even special effects added. The original media in the camcorder can be erased and used again in most cases
- Digital Media: Digital data is easy to store and can be edited on a computer. Digitizing images and sound also stops their degradation. Analog video loses both picture and sound quality each time it is copied. Digital data retains the same quality no matter how many times it is copied. A digital camcorder compresses the incoming images so they can be stored as 1s and 0s, binary language, on digital media. This media is the same as if recording anything digitally on a computer

"We're a little late doing this, but the folks on this board work so hard that they need to be recognized for what they do," Adkins said. "Personally, I want to take each one of you out to lunch individually some time in the next week, but we also have a little something to recognize you tonight."
Adkins presented each board member with a certificate of appreciation. Current board members include Chairman Brand Ingle, Jamie Rigsby, Dale Reeves, Bill Edd Gilbert and Sonia Waid.
"We appreciate being recognized like that, but we can't make good decisions without people pointing out things and keeping us informed," Reeves said. "Jason (Adkins) has done a good job of that, and we appreciate the work he puts in as well."
The school system's curriculum department was also recognized Tuesday for its work in college and career readiness. The state recognized the department as one of two school systems in the state with best practices in that area.
"There were two school systems listed as best practices and we were one of them," Adkins said. "Due to that, other school systems will be visiting here to see how we do things. The first one is scheduled to visit on Feb. 25. I think this recognition is definitely something to be proud of. That department, led by Joel Hagood, is doing a fantastic job."
In other action, the board:
•Approved 12 different school trips with several being to the state Beta Club convention.
•Adopted the Walker County Board of Education Code of Conduct for Local School Board Governance.
•Approved Leo Dunagan (Sumiton School), Jonathan Lay (Oakman High), Amanda Willcutt (Oakman Middle) and Brad Ford (Oakman Middle) as volunteer softball coaches.

It's a great little private retreat area to sit and relax, nestled among the tops of the trees.
The open concept continues into the comfortable living room with ample seating where you can unwind and watch your favorite shows on the flat screen TV or enjoy the internet.

Lyme Regis Rotary raises £1,000 for charity
3:36pm Monday 28th January 2013 in Lyme Regis By Adrianne Maslen
LYME Regis Rotary Club will help more disaster-struck families following its latest fundraiser.
The club's annual Soup and Ploughman's Lunch at the Alexandra Hotel today raised more than £1,000.
This will be donated to the rotary charity Water Survival Box, based in Somerset.
Each box contains water purification equipment and other essential items, such as tools and toothbrushes, and it allows disaster struck families anywhere in the world to purify contaminated water in the early aftermath of natural or manmade disasters.
The Water Survival Box was designed to supply a family of four with clean water for up to one year.
Rotarian John McCallum said: "The rotary club would like to thank the Alexandra Hotel for their continued support and generosity, without which the successful outcome of our fund raising would not have been possible."

Help To Avoid The Hangover
Your head hurts, there's nausea and you are tired with absolutely no energy. Hangovers are the high-price to pay if you choose to go out and celebrate the New Year with a few too many adult beverages. But according to the experts at the Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation in Baltimore there are ways to avoid a hangover.
One of the best ways to combat having that morning-after sickness is to simply drink slowly and alternate your alcohol with glasses of water. And of course before you start your night out, make sure you have a good meal that fills you up.
The experts also say "stick to the white stuff". Vodka causes fewer hangovers than brandy. A toast with champagne will be okay at midnight, but stay away from bubbly drinks like gin and tonics and rum and cokes. Yes, the bubbles tickle the nose, but they also are the culprit in putting the booze into your bloodstream faster. But some bubbles that could benefit you are from Alka Seltzer, which experts say is good to take before bed.
A couple cups of coffee will probably not make you totally sober, but the caffeine in that coffee is good to reduce the swelling of blood vessels that can cause that nagging headache. Take an aspirin or ibuprofen to also relieve headache symptoms.
Fruit juice is also good to drink because it contains fructose, a sugar that helps burn off the alcohol faster. Experts also say to help yourself feel better drink clear soup, which helps to replenish the salt and potassium levels in the body, and try a Vitamin B complex which has been known to shorten the length of a hangover.
And remember to drink in moderation! The smaller you are, the less you can drink. (Most 110-pound women can't compete with a 250-pound male in a drinking contest!)
Of course if you choose to throw all caution out the window and not worry about the morning-after-sickness, the most important reminder is to designate a driver or make other plans to have a safe ride home. Program the number of a cab company into your phone before you go out or try Tipsy Tow. Tipsy Tow's number is 1-800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) and ask for Tipsy Tow. The service will pick you up free of charge with no questions asked. And is offered in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Mitchell, and Yankton.

To our readers,
We have added a new way to stay connected to news and information from The N&O – an app for the iPad. On it, you'll find breaking news, coverage of sports and politics, photo galleries and a "daily magazine" that offers a deeper look at big stories from around the nation and world. All of the content is specifically formatted for the iPad.
As I've noted in the past, our goal is to provide you with great content in all the ways you want to experience it. Many readers start the day with our printed edition. Others prefer to visit newsobserver.com, our recently redesigned website, on a desktop or laptop computer, and some use our smartphone apps to stay up to date. The iPad app provides one more option. It allows you to customize the sections on your home screen and their order, as well as enabling you to email, share and save articles.
I hope you'll download the app and let us know your thoughts about it. You can find a link to it from the newsobserver.com home page. If you're looking in Apple's App Store, please select "The Raleigh News & Observer for iPad" choice for a free download. It is compatible only on the iPad and requires iOS 6.0 or later.
You'll be able to use the app without charge for an introductory period, but then it will become part of N&O Plus, our digital subscription plan. At that point, you will be asked to log in or subscribe after you have viewed 70 articles in a month.
(We also have an iPad app for our digital replica, or e-edition, which requires a digital-only or N&O Plus subscription to access content.)
We'll continue to fine-tune the new iPad app as we work to create an increasingly rewarding and interactive experience for tablet users. Please share your feedback with us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the interest of stoking the embers, I'm passing this piece along from Will Leitch.
Your attempts to revitalize your downtown are proving ineffective at overcoming years of urban decay; your shifting attitude toward daylight savings makes it impossible to figure out what the hell time it ever is; your hastily constructed skyscrapers are so flimsy they can't stand up to wind; the Central Canal that runs through your city is a glorified stream; you're responsible for the hypocritical, exploitative monster that is the NCAA; you built a monorail, for cripes sake; your primary cultural moment was being where everybody lived on "One Day at a Time"; it is physically impossible to get a bite to eat in your town after 8:30 p.m.; and the only thing visiting teams' players say about your town is that it has unusually lawless strip clubs. Oh, and nobody cares about the Indy 500 anymore.
Sorry, Indianapolis residents. Don't get too down on yourselves. The interstate highways that run through your city offer a remarkably smooth ride. And did I mention your beltway? Fantastic!

it's broken
Reviewed By:
(Cheyenne, WY)
The top of my plant arrived with the main stem broken. At first I thought this must be a shipping error, particular to this one plant, but then I saw another plant I ordered in the same condition. The side branches are large, making the plant extremely lopsided. I'm not sure if this plant will make it. I will wait and see if I need to get another one, or if this plant is suppose to not have the main stem.

For Columbia County, Bass Pro Shops is a big catch. But, for Augusta, it's the one that got away.
Five years before Bass Pro Shops announced it would build a store in Columbia County, the company said it was coming to the Village at Riverwatch, in Augusta.
But, after the economy hit bottom in 2009, the company's plans changed, and store did not pan out.
Now, Augusta's loss is Columbia County's gain and for the city, it's close but no Bass Pro Shops.
"The fact that they're in the community, at all, is a great win for the greater region here...such the potential we have here, the opportunities that we have here. It would have been nice here. It's not quite as nice, but it's real nice to have them close," says City Administrator Fred Russell.
Though Bass Pro Shops worked closely with the city in the past, both Russell and Mayor Copenhaver say they did not get any advanced notice about the Columbia County announcement from the company.
