Greetings #TeamBlackBerry! I'm pumped from all the positive feedback for our BlackBerry® PlayBook™ Tablet Haiku contests on our @BlackBerry Twitter® account. It has been a great pleasure to read everyone's wonderful haiku submissions over the past few weeks, as well as hear from winners like our friend Alex, who posted how much he's enjoying his BlackBerry PlayBook tablet on his blog.
Wait, what's a "BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet Haiku?"
We ran a couple of sweet contests on Twitter asking our fans to submit a haiku about what excites them the most about the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The winners of the Haiku contests were awarded their very own BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. By the way, if you're not sure what a haiku is, it's a poem that's a total of three lines and seventeen syllables that follows a pattern of five syllables for the first line, seven for the second and five for the third. Here's my shot at one:
The PlayBook is sweet
It multi-tasks and is light
Please buy me one now
What do you think of my first-ever attempt at a haiku? I know it doesn't compare to all of your great submissions – which, by the way, numbered 2,165 haikus for the first contest and 1,150 for the second contest, making a whopping total of 3,315 BlackBerry PlayBook tablet haikus! Special thanks goes out to those who submitted haikus.
Now that you know what this contest was about – and have seen my amazing attempt at crafting a haiku – it's time to announce the top 10 haikus we received! The first five are from our first round…drumroll please!

Cool Libraries
Check out images of cool libraries which we brought together on our pinterest board COOL LIBRARIES.
One of the libraries featured on our pinterest board is the new Stuttgart Public Library in Southern Germany.
How does this innovative city (known as the "cradle of the automobile") envision a public library in the 21st century? Korean architect Eun Young Yi was chosen to deliver a stunning, yet refreshingly simple design! No doubt, Steve Jobs would have approved of it! Books and people are the focus throughout, delivering a multitude of colors in a mostly white interior, similiar to the design of the new central Amsterdam Public Library which is the largest public library in Europe. In the Stuttgart Public Library there is a Café with a very appealing and smartly chosen name. It is called Café LesBar which means Reading Bar, but "lesbar" in German means also readable! Coincidentally, we recently added the book "Brilliant: White in Design" by Linda O'Keeffe to our collection.

Design with Books
Hello Booklovers: We have added a new title BOOKSHELF to our collection of design books. Here are some of our newer titles on living with books:
Books as design objects are in demand by interior designers, high-end builders, hotel developers and architects. Multimillion dollar homes have to come with libraries: spaces with built-in shelves and lots of books. And there are people who specialize in furnishing these libraries with books: 2,000 books wrapped in white or in cream colored leather? 4,000 books wrapped in black? No problem! Will they be read? That is another question!

CLA Award
Congratulations to Hamden Public Library's own Nancy McNicol, winner of the 2012 Connecticut Library Association Special Achievement Award. Each year, CLA honors an individual who has implemented a significant project or initiated an innovative program which has had significant impact on the library, the community, or the library profession this year.
In the spring of 2011, Hamden Public Library's Associate Director, Nancy McNicol initiated plans to celebrate the life and works of Hamden native, former U.S. Poet Laureate and 2011 recipient of the National Medal of Arts, Donald Hall. She partnered with various Hamden agencies, the Mayor's Office, the Connecticut Poetry Society and a number of town residents to bring the plans to fruition. On the evening of September 16th, more than 300 friends and poetry lovers paid tribute to Mr. Hall. He rewarded his audience with reminiscences of growing up in Hamden and readings of his poems. We are all thankful for Nancy's tireless effort creating this remarkable event, and grateful to the Connectict Library Association for recognizing her outstanding acheivement!

Perhaps what the fashion cognoscenti yearn for most from Hermѐs is no fashion at all. To stand apart, as this house always has done, as a touchstone of all super-refined, super-classic Frenchness, there is a sense in which the forces of good taste will it to do nothing at all except continue to be the only house in Paris which one can linger over the quality—even the staidness—of its everlasting leather goods, horsey accessories, watches, and unique printed scarves.
So now that Christophe Lemaire, a French designer with no great cachet in terms of widespread international name-recognition, has joined the house to replace the high jinks instituted for several years by Jean Paul Gaultier, the audience was curious to see if and how the strategy had changed. The outcome, viewed in a show held in the new Hermѐs store on the rue de Sèvres, was puzzling. Lemaire, who has his own collection which veers toward the minimal-Asian tendency of Western design, staged a debut which, with its big-shouldered robes, leather caps, and pants fused into boots (bants? poots?), not to mention the fact that one model was carrying an eagle on her arm (alive) and another had a bow and quiver slung about her person, almost appeared to be channelling the spirit of Claude Montana, eighties-style.
It is not fair, of course, to instantly judge any designer who is called to take on the yoke of such a storied house. Acclimatization to such a refined culture—and the expectations which rest on it—is always going to take longer than one season. And in several brief sections of this collection, there were glimpses of the pared-down, effortless classicism both Hermѐs traditionalists and Hermѐs fashion-cultists fervently cherish. That came about when Lemaire chose to ditch extraneous accessories and simply show a sand-colored suede tunic over leggings, or a narrow coat in forest-green leather over matching skinny trousers. With these, he zeroed in on a graceful compromise between the unchanging templates of the ineffable haute-bourgeois civilization represented by Hermѐs, and the silhouettes the denizens of planet fashion are considering to be really quite advanced this season.

1Lindsay Lohan Is Way Mad About That Scary Movie 5 Trailer
Just in case you missed the trailer that I showed you yesterday, here's a quick refresher:
Ok, see the bit where Lindsay screams and there's the thing about her probation being revoked? It turns out that that wasn't how the scene originally went. In the version that Lindsay saw and approved, her movie Herbie: Fully Loaded appeared on the TV, and that's why she screamed. The probation thing was edited in afterwards, and Lindsay thinks it's because the producers were angry with her for being nearly impossible to deal with. I think that's a fair bet, but Lindsay's still pissed.
This coming week, Lindsay's supposed to meet with her team (LOL) to discuss the "breach of contract." I'm sure she'll go really far with that complaint.

(WMC-TV) - "Welcome to the Germantown Greenway. For your protection, this parking lot is being recorded by video cameras."
This is what Germantown Greenway visitors hear upon entering the trail system. The goal of the new greeting is to reassure runners, walkers, and cyclists that they are safe.
The speaker within the camera allows people leaving their car behind to relax knowing that there is someone watching, but it also serves as a warning to those looking to stir up trouble.
The camera/speaker system serves as an interactive way of communicating that might even catch you off guard if you did not know it was there.
"I feel pretty safe. In the mornings, I wear my lights and blinkers. I don't have earphones in, so I'm real aware of what's around me," said cyclist Michael Block.
While Block appreciates the extra surveillance, he is not convinced it will prevent crime.
"Someone watching a camera doesn't necessarily guarantee safety. I suppose it will keep people away by deterrence, but I don't feel straight forward safer or less safe with the cameras," added Block.
Even though the camera is up for your protection, signs are still posted throughout the trail system reminding visitors not to leave valuables in their cars.

CATEGORIES Casting, Dreamworks, Steven Spielberg, CinematicalOne of the constants of movie blogging is receiving comments from unknown actors (and non-actors) who think they're perfect for such and such part. This is mostly the case with announcements of high-profile biopics and other similar projects based on a true story. For example, last year when news came out that Steven Spielberg is planning a film about Martin Luther King Jr., I wrote on potential casting ideas at another site and got comments from a few people who would rather see themselves in the role of the civil rights leader rather than some A-list actor.
One guy included his phone number in his comment, while another man linked to his website. The latter, a "motivational performer" who recites Dr. King's speeches across the nation, does indeed deserve to star in a film. But not Spielberg's. Instead, I propose that he play himself in a meta movie about his wish. It would obviously be called...
I Have a Dream
This movie could work with any kind of biopic, but the MLK angle obviously fits with the holiday. and the title. It'd be kind of a cross between Harmony Korine's movie about celebrity impersonators, Mister Lonely, and that episode of Growing Pains in which Mike and his girlfriend naively hope to be cast in a Broadway revival of Our Town after starring in their high school production of the play.
When Spielberg's project was announced, the "motivational performer," Stephon Ferguson, began a campaign to acquire the film's lead. He started taking acting classes and started both a website devoted to his mission and a Facebook page titled "Stephon Ferguson for the MLK Role," which has almost 750 supporters. Apparently he's scheduled to audition for the movie this month.
I don't think I'm being too pessimistic or cynical in believing Ferguson won't get the part, especially if someone like Jamie Foxx is interested in the part. And I wish someone was documenting his campaign (maybe someone is?), because the story is perfect for a non-fiction film. But if there is no documentary, I'd love to see someone turn the tale into a reflexive film -- maybe even a semi-dramatized documentary like an Errol Morris or Michael Winterbottom film.
I imagine it being a road movie, though, and that's probably not what Ferguson's real trip to Hollywood will be like. I also see the film being a commentary on the concept of biopics and celebrities impersonating other celebrities. I'd also love for some kind of prompt for discussion of how A-list actors like Jamie Foxx are more likely to garner awards for biopic performances than a no-name actor like Sam Riley (Control) or casting call winner Jamal Woolard (Notorious).
An alternate title for this pitch is The Man Who Would Be King, which might not be available due to the 1975 John Huston film.

Welcome to the East Coast Greenway in Florida
Florida boasts the longest portion of Greenway with the most miles of completed trail. North to south, the Greenway enters the state at Fernandina Beach then continues 584 miles to Key West, the United States' southernmost mainland point. The Greenway travels largely along the coast, through seaside villages, America's earliest historic sites, through vast nature preserves, and major cities that include Jacksonville and Miami. The route includes 198 miles of completed traffic-free paths and the most bridges of any ECG state.
Much of the Greenway through Florida is on wide sidepath that runs along Highway A1A. It concludes with the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, which hops from island to island for 106 miles (about half of which is completed trail). The Alliance plans an alternate route that will provide access to Florida's Gulf Coast, the Pinellas Trail, and Lake Okeechobee.
Trail Status and Plans
Florida Partners and Supporters
More information on trails and greenways in Florida
34% of the Florida route is completed trail, 19% is in development, 36% is in public control and awaiting development, and only 26 miles (4%) is considered "gap"where the route location has not yet been found.
The ECGA is at work with regional and county planning agencies, trail developers, developments of regional impact, and trail advocates all along the coast to advance the Greenway, and as a result, progress is steady.

- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo
- Reviewed on: 03/22/2012
The good: The true dual-band Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router offers excellent coverage, stable wireless signals, and stellar data rates on the 5GHz band. The router comes with a generous feature set and can also work as a standalone VPN server.
The bad: The RT-N66U's firmware is a little buggy and its data rate on the 2.4GHz band could use some improvement. The router's USB ports don't support the USB 3.0 standard.
The bottom line: Though not perfect, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router would make an excellent network gateway for home and small-office environments.

I feel the need, the need for speed!
by Andrew-Price on July 8, 2013
Pros: + Setup is fairly easy
+ Coverage of the ASUS is very good
+ Speed is phenomenal
+ Build quality is fair
Cons: - WPS is enabled by default. Make sure to turn it off to protect yourself from the WPS exploit
- Firmware update window goes blank at the end of the upgrade

Summary: This router easily handled 120 devices, mostly iPads and laptops without any glitches or burps.I put all the audience members on the 2.4 GHz radio and the presenters on the 5 GHz radio and the conference continued flawlessly. This router is amazing. If you are a techie responsible for setting up wireless at conferences this is a great device to stick in your bag of tricks. To confess my doubts, I really wasn't sure if it could handle 120 devices but it ran rocksolid for two days. Now if I could only convince the Holiday Inn conference center to put in new Asus wireless access points.Edit:
I needed a solution for a 2-story house on a half acre of land, built into a hill with a walk out basement. The goal was edge to edge wireless coverage on the property with the ability to stream hi-def video inside the house.
To begin, the NetSpot wireless survey tool was used to find the optimal mounting location for the ASUS "Dark Knight". As it turns out the best placement was on the first floor just above doorbell. Thankfully the ASUS has wall mount screws as well and a very generous power cable length. I fished the power cables and network cables through the wall and used a 1-3/4" holesaw with a computer cable access cap/grommet to cover the hole.
It would be nice if the access point came in a white color for aesthetics. From the side profile it is hardly noticable in the hall, but if you walk in the hall and look up, there is a giant black box with three legs sticking out. :) Overall it looks good, but I wouldn't mount this thing is a conspicuous place like over the TV or in the dining room.
The coverage of the ASUS is very good. The 2.4 Ghz wireless easily covers the 1/2 acre from edge to edge and the top of the hill to the bottom. According to the wireless survey there are about 20 - 2.4 Ghz access points in the area but the ASUS seems to handle the interferene without any issues in the 2.4Ghz range.
As expected the 5Ghz coverage drops off drastically as you move away from the ASUS AP. However, the 5Ghz signal covers the ranch house top to botton and allows the streaming of high def video without any issues. Moving outside the of the house the 5Ghz signal drops off fast and doesn't make it to the bottom of the hill.
The ASUS AP was easy to setup and came loaded ith the latest firmware. Under the covers it runs BusyBox Linux which means it should be extremely solid. The ASUS generates a little bit of heat and needs ventiallation. While the vents are on the sides, on earth heat rises due to gravitational bouyancy. It might be a better design to put more vents on the top and move the power and network inputs to the bottom as the top of the unit gets warm.
The blue status LEDS are not annoying like many other devices which insist on annoying high-intensity LEDS. The gigabyte network ports do a great job of autodetecting everything. I tried everything from a 10/100 hub to an Arduino Opensprinkler controller and it negotiated fine with everything.
The setup was really simple with the web inteface. Only one computer can login at a time to the web interface and if you forget to logout it can create an issue. The web interface is somewhat basic but pretty. I haven't tried the USB servers or VPN/PPTP but I assume it will work without issue since BusyBox Linux is the O/S. The only thing I could not get to work was the DHCP MAC to IP mapping. Instead I just set static IPs on the printers etc...
Speed tests show that it can handle gigabit speeds both on the LAN and wireless without any issues. For the price this is a great value and a good core piece of hardware for your home/office network. It has a great feature set and lots of extras including the guest network for creating a simple VLAN. I also think the exernal antennas are better than internal antennas, plus you can swap them out for high-gain antennas unlike APs with internal antennas. You can also bump the TX power to 500mW but I have mine set at the default of 80mW and am happy with the performance.
I will miss my old reliable Linksys 2.4Ghz but unfortunately it couldn't keep up with the traffic loads anymore. This ASUS Dark Knight rocks and is comparable to a $400 CISCO dual band access point, plus you don't have to go through the pain and suffering of setting it up and paying the license costs for all the features. Good job ASUS, I look forward to the next version of the firmware. Maybe throw a wireless survey tool in there.
Note: before you will buy the "ASUS RT-N66U", I suggest check for best price at: Gigabitroutersblog.blogspot.com/p/asus-rt-n66u.html
I would recommend this product to a friend and purchase it again.

Best Wireless Router I've ever used!

Pros: I truly enjoy everything about this router... the range is incredible!
Cons: It has a VPN Server, I only wish it also had a VPN client to connect to other networks. The old web based admin had an issue with port forwarding, however, I loaded the latest version (beta version) of the new interface and it fixed ALL my issues.

Summary: My home is rather large (4,600 SQ. FT.) and thus I had an issue with the wireless reaching my front family room TV/computer setup. I purchased this router to replace my Apple Airport Extreme as a last ditch effort in an attempt to keep from wiring the home. The Asus RT-N66U 100% solved my problem. I can now watch HD movies wirelessly movies anywhere in home. For giggles I tested watching movies on the laptop in the front and backyard.... it now works there as well! None of my computers have the dual band cards... I can only imagine what type of throughput I'd receive if they did. In closing, I get now 60mbps down in the family room... before purchasing this router I would only receive 1 - 2 mbps down at best!!! Make sure you use a wifi security key... if you don't you will run the risk of your entire block connecting through your Internet!!!

It covers over 3000+ square feet easily. Places where I used to have a wifi extender! Superfast speed and awesome range! Hands down it kicks the Linksys' butt! Go Get it!!

I own the linksys e4200v2 & the Asus RT-N66U
by hefty1211 on April 20, 2012
Pros: My Asus out preforms my linksys Outstanding gigabit ethernet throughput. I have my cable company's top tier speed which tops out at 100Mbps,yet with the Asus I'm clocking 128Mbps-135Mbps. The wifi range is good,reaches all the way around my house.
Cons: Availability. For months everyplace online was out of stock. Also updating the firmware was a little tricky.
Summary: Absolutely hands down the best router on the market,if we;re talking about dual band N900 routers

Best router, PERIOD! This one rules them all!
by 6mailbox0 on December 20, 2012
Pros: n900 / true dual band / DD-WRT supported / stable, functional firmware / runs cool / full feature set including QoS and VPN / value priced / full 5 bar signal in every room of 2000SF house!
Cons: I can't think of any. Really, it's just the best residential/small business router I have come across.
Summary: You can't go wrong with this one. There's a trend among these router vendors to QA in the marketplace. I think Asus still does it old-school where the ...
Summary: You can't go wrong with this one. There's a trend among these router vendors to QA in the marketplace. I think Asus still does it old-school where the engineers do not release the products until THEY say they're ready and not some marketing director. This results in an actual functioning product that sells itself. All the other vendors usually end up selling one dud out of five units sold leaving the market to QA their products.

Summary: -Plug a HDD (or USB drive) on the router's USB and have access to it on internet and local computers.
-Stream the HDD with DLNA (access it with DLNA compatible devices as Xbox360, Samsung smart TV, tablets, etc etc...)
-Access to this HDD with iPhone and iPad with Aicloud everywhere
I decided to download the "Asuswrt Merlin firmware", it's at 99% the same as the Asus dashboard, but better and with no bugs. Everything was working perfect after installing it.
Bugs I had :
-2.4Ghz not stable and hard to connect to it, but 5Ghz was still ok.
-Could not scan a Portable HDD 1TB for DLNA streaming
Really good
by G-AkZeNT on December 12, 2012
Pros: Really stable and really good range. My internet never drops
Cons: It sometimes tweaks on my PS3 but i believe it is because it is on wi fi.
Summary: Overall very good router but a little too expensive. Having some FIOS or some 40-15 internet is good to use

Summary: I had never set one of these up and was a bit intimidated. By following the clear step by step instructions with almost no input this router was up and running in no time. Performance is outstanding. I saw other reviews about crap printer support. I will state that when I hooked up my ethernet based HP printer, an Officejet, with no configuration on my part, immediately the printer was network accessible. No print server problems here.
Good router, crap printer support and documentation
by spankyq on September 22, 2012
Pros: Looks nice
Good signal strength
Cons: Supports very limited range of printers
Has annoying login limit on admin UI

Summary: If you just want a router, this is totally fine. Good signal strength and it looks pretty nice.
If you're looking at it as a print server, make sure you have one of the supported printers. They don't mention this anywhere when selling it but only a handful of printers is supported. My Dell laser printer is NOT one of those printers. I'm not sure which printers are actually supported: I found a list of supported printers once, but can't find it again.
That speaks to the pretty crap documentation and terrible translation of messages in the UI as well.
The admin UI also has a feature where you can only have one active login at a time. This is a huge pain if you're setting up multiple machines in different areas of the house.

The Dallas Cowboys are trying to turn Tony Romo into Peyton Manning, and that's a problem. Oh, there's nothing wrong with being Mr. Manning, of course; at this point, we're probably justified in claiming he's the greatest quarterback to ever play the game.
But Tony Romo isn't Peyton Manning. What makes Manning special isn't what makes Romo special. There are similarities—above-average accuracy without an outstandingly strong arm, among others—but Romo isn't made to dink and dunk his way up the field in the same manner that Manning isn't made to buy time in the pocket and improvise his way to big plays.
It's okay to be different. Romo can be a chaotic quarterback. The Cowboys are giving him artificial structure that, while necessary at times, isn't the name of his game. We've seen overly aggressive Romo, and now we're seeing unnecessarily conservative Romo. How about a mix of the two? That's possible, right?
So what do I mean when I say the 'Boys are trying to transform their quarterback into Manning? Let's start with this.
Pressure Rate
Romo is facing less pressure this year than ever before. Take a look.
The drop of a few percentage points is a sizeable one when you consider the relatively low deviation in pressure rates. The offensive line has gotten the majority of the credit for this change, which is fine; Tyron Smith is playing good football and Doug Free has obviously improved over last year.
But the primary reason for the offensive line's improvement has nothing to do with the offensive line, and everything to do with Romo.
Time in Pocket
In watching Cowboys' games, it's pretty clear that either Romo or the coaches—or, more likely, both—have decided he needs to get the ball out quicker this year.
Pro Football Focus tracks the average time spent in the pocket prior to each throw, and Romo's average of 2.51 seconds is way down from previous years. That number is the seventh-lowest in the league right now. Manning has the second-quickest release—the same as last year—at 2.35 seconds.
Romo's eagerness to get rid of the ball has been reflected in his lack of deep passes. Only 5.9 percent of Romo's 2013 passes have traveled at least 20 yards past the line. Only one quarterback has a lower rate. Even Manning, whose offense is built around him distributing short passes basically as a substitute for the running game, has thrown deep on 9.0 percent of his passes.
I'm not saying that Romo needs to always stand in the pocket until the last second, taking shots in an effort to generate big plays. That's not the case at all. But there needs to be more of a balance; again, it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing situation in which he's either ultra-aggressive or completely conservative.
If there's one stat that best sums up Romo's approach in 2013, it's this: the average depth of his throws has been only 6.7 yards. That's the third-lowest number in the NFL. In comparison, Manning's average throw has traveled 8.0 yards, and he still ranks in the bottom half of the league.
First Down Pass Rate
One area of game management in which the Cowboys should be mimicking Manning, but aren't, is first down play-calling. There's probably no aspect of play-calling through which NFL teams could improve more than their first down calls.
Defenses still play to stop the run on first down—a major mistake in today's NFL considering that offenses are averaging 7.5 YPA on first down passes, but only 4.0 YPC on first down runs.
Yet the majority of NFL teams still want the much-sought "balance" on first down. As a whole, teams have passed the ball only 51.6 percent on first down, and that's actually way up from previous seasons.
The Broncos are one of the teams that come out aggressively on first down to start games. The Cowboys aren't.
In the first quarter alone, Dallas has passed the ball on only 35.7 percent of their first down plays. Compare that to 60.7 percent of first quarter first downs for Manning's Broncos.
By the end of the game, you can see that Denver's first down pass rate plummets while Dallas's soars. I wonder why? The "balance" that tends to follow winning teams is an illusion—a byproduct of efficient early play rather than a cause of success.
And if the Cowboys really want to be more balanced, they should actually ditch the early first down runs. Because nothing screams, "we're going to pass" like facing second-and-11 all day long.
In the Red Zone
As a final non-Romo, non-Manning aside, take a look at the career red zone touchdown rates for the receivers in Sunday's matchup.
We all know how dominant Bryant has been in the red zone, but Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker has been even better. He's converted 42.5 percent of his red zone targets into touchdowns. Before you say that's the Manning effect, don't forget that Decker spent quite a bit of time with Tim Tebow as his quarterback. Decker's red zone dominance also dates back to his college days at Minnesota.
Newly acquired Wes Welker will help move the Broncos up the field, but it's Decker the Cowboys need to worry about most in the red zone.

It's Snowing on Street View
A definite theme is emerging this week involving Christmas messages with Street View. Send a Christmas Street View Message is another very clever Google Maps app that lets you send a personal holiday greeting with your selected Street View.
Once you select a Street View location and add your own personal message this app creates a stylised Street View scene featuring snow and your greeting. The app pans and zooms around your chosen Street View accompanied by some nice soothing Christmas related music.
Once you are happy with your personal Christmas Street View scene you can send the URL link to your friends. This app uses WebGL, so you will need to use a compliant web browser (may I recommend Google Chrome).

The future always seems so far away, but it's here NOW. How can Chelsea start a new life in Paris when what she wants might be right here, right now? Where can Aiden and Kyla take their relationship next when now seems so perfect? And how can Spencer decide whether to spend the next four years away from Ashley if she's not even sure Ashley wants her here now?
Aiden's cheated death for a second time, and it's enough to convince him that he's practically invincible. Now he's in danger of trying to prove it. Spencer and Chelsea both have huge news, but people keep getting in the way when they try to share it. Carmen's getting in the way of Ashley, and Glen's getting in the way of... Glen.
Everyone's life has become about choices. Chelsea has to choose between Glen and Sean. Aiden has to choose what's next in his life. And Spencer has to choose whether going to college means leaving home—and leaving Ashley.
Glen finally realizes his feelings for Chelsea just as Sean blows back into town, looking to scoop her up for himself. Will the new-and-improved Glen watch her slip away? Meanwhile, Ashley wishes Kyla would slip away. Ash refuses to forgive her and wants her out of her life forever. Spencer's siding with Ash, until there's some proof that Kyla may not be as evil as she seems...
Spencer's falling into Lily's hipster crowd and loving every second of it—especially the seconds she spends making passes at Jonica. Meanwhile, Aiden would be falling for Sasha, if she didn't keep, y'know, being herself. And Glen is falling for the right girl... finally.
Now that Kyla's been humiliated on national television, she decides that the only way to redeem herself is to put the lies behind her and come clean to Ashley. Ashley needs someone she can trust, because she feels like Spencer's already eyeing up her replacement. And Glen feels like his dad's eyeing up a replacement son when Arthur brings along a third wheel on their father/son camping trip.
It's the weekend of Spencer's eighteenth birthday, and her grandmother's flying in to celebrate with the family. Spencer needs to find a way to tell her grandmother that she's gay, but Paula's doing all she can to keep it a secret. Kyla has a secret too, and the whole world's about to discover it, on live television.
Spashley's back! After a night they'll never forget, Spencer and Ashley are ready to pick up where they left off. This time Ashley's the one looking for stability and commitment, especially since Kyla's already half way to ruining their lives. Meanwhile, since Aiden's rebuilding his life, he figures he'll start with a big, Sasha-shaped piece.
Spencer wants to go to the gay pride festival, but it hurts that she can't find anyone willing to take her. Paula won't consider it, and even Ashley's too busy becoming famous. But Ashley's just about done being a star, and she's barely even started. Kyla, on the other hand, is so busy milking fame for all its worth that she doesn't realize what it's costing her.
Jake's working hard to make Kyla the new It girl, but when she finds out that Ashley's poised to out-It her, It hits the fan. Aiden's there to see it splatter, and realizes that he might be splattering along with it. Meanwhile, Spencer discovers that guys have a hard time distinguishing being with her from BEING WITH her.
Spencer's done with Carmen, and just in time too - Ashley needs her support, because an old friend from New York is ready to make her famous. Meanwhile, Aiden and Madison figure that since they're both unattached, maybe they could try attaching every once in a while. And Glen discovers that Chelsea is thinking of changing her plans for the baby - but plans sometimes have a way of changing themselves.
Everyone needs each other. Spencer needs her family to accept Carmen. Madison needs Ashley to get her into the hottest club in town. Ashley needs Spencer to fill a void in her life. And Aiden needs someone, anyone, to keep him from falling apart.
Ashley and Aiden keep getting hotter, but when a former prom queen opens Aiden's eyes, things might cool off really quickly. Spencer's heating up a little herself, and the more she gets to know Carmen, the warmer she gets. Meanwhile, Madison's burning for Jake the blogger, and he's seriously fanning the flames.
Ashley and Kyla have $25 million to spend, and they're starting by dropping a chunk of it on a gorgeous new loft as far from Ash's mom as possible. With the two of them finally acting like sisters, maybe Ashley doesn't even need Spencer anymore. Not like she has a choice - Spencer's done with her and is moving on... to the last person she expects. Meanwhile, when the MTV documentary about the prom shooting finally hits the air, Chelsea and the Carlins are forced to come to grips with Clay's death.
Moments after the drive-by shooting at the King High prom, ambulances rush the victims to the ER - and everyone realizes that nothing will be the same again. As Spencer and Ashley rechart their existence in the aftermath, their relationship might not be strong enough to take the strain.
Tragedy takes hold at the start of the new season of South of Nowhere, as the prom-night shooting claims its victims and Spencer and Ashley struggle to rechart their existence in the aftermath. For Ashley, that means grabbing Kyla and leaving school and home to design herself a new life in the real world -- but not before falling back into old habits and old relationships. That leaves Spencer to face being the "out" girl in school without Ash to protect her.
The second season of South of Nowhere picks up the morning after the last, with Ashley and Spencer fully committed to each other - until Ash's world suddenly shakes apart.
Tragedy takes hold at the start of the new season of South of Nowhere, as the prom-night shooting claims its victims and Spencer and Ashley struggle to rechart their existence in the aftermath.

Cub Registry Missing Fields
I noticed in the Cub Registry where you have the equipment listed to check off if you have it. The list is missing one of the most popular peices of equipment.....the cultivator. I also didn't see a carry-all listed. I understand there are many more implements not listed that went with the Cub; but thought that these 2 SHOULD be there. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

The Alabama Music Hall of Fame is back open to the public.
In true Muscle Shoals fashion, some of the area's biggest names in music helped reopen the museum on Friday.
Several hundred people gathered and took part in the ceremony, including local lawmakers.
The international release of the documentary "Muscle Shoals" has helped put the Shoals back in the music scene, and re-opening the hall of fame will help the community and state continue to share their story to visitors worldwide.
State Tourism Director Lee Sen tell said, "We believe the hall of fame is reborn with a new energy and with a new excitement. The state tourism department is certainly going to be aggressive in marketing the attraction and we've got some other ideas that we're not ready to talk about just yet that are going to be very positive for the whole area."
The hall of fame closed its doors last year due to financial problems.

CATEGORIES MoviesThis weekend Tim Burton and Disney team-up for "Frankenweenie," a 3D stop-motion animation remake of the director's early short film. In the new movie, the classic tale of "Frankenstein" is given a grade school twist with young Victor Frankenstein, a shy student with a flare for making monster movies and excelling in science class. His best friend in the whole world is none other than his beloved dog Sparky -- but when Sparky is run over in a traffic accident, Victor goes the mad scientist route to bring him back to life.
After his stitched-up pet rises from the grave, it sets off a chain reaction of jealous classmates who want to create their own undead menagerie. Soon enough, Victor and Sparky's quiet suburban town turns into the perfect setting for an old-school horror movie filled with chills and thrills.
Burton has had a not-so-great year, thanks to the disappointing summer flick "Dark Shadows." Will this kid-friendly return to his past help him reclaim some of his creative mojo? Moviefone weighs the pros and cons of "Frankenweenie" to find out.
(Warning: Spoilers Below)
Pro: "Frankenweenie" is good. "Dark Shadows" was not good and "Alice in Wonderland" wore out its welcome immediately. It's been awhile since Burton made a movie that didn't feel like it was running on fumes. "Frankenweenie" is cute, clever and a fun Halloween season movie.
Con: It's not "genius-level" Burton. If you're waiting for the director to reinvent his style, you're not going to get it with this movie. He utilizes plenty of his trademark macabre tricks and if that "Tim Burton-y" look is getting on your nerves, "Frankenweenie" probably won't help.
Pro: He finally took a break from working with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. That's got to count for something, right?
Con: The 3D isn't necessary, except for the opening scene. Save yourself from the needlessly expensive surcharge and see it in 2D. The opening scene has a very cute gag involving young Victor's homemade 3D monster movie, but beyond that you're not getting a visual experience that screams "This needs to feel like it's flying at your face!" Additionally, one of 3D's biggest problems is that it mutes the color palette of a film; imagine what it does to a black-and-white picture.
Pro: Ghoulishly fun characters An intimidating science teacher who resemble Vincent Price? A hunchbacked Peter Lorre-esque sidekick named "E" Gore? A Boris Karloff-inspired morbid rival? And we haven't touched upon Weird Girl yet. Victor's little town of New Holland is populated with goofy, visually-distinctive caricatures.
Con: Not doing enough with Winona Ryder as Elsa Van Helsing The only character who gets the short shrift is Victor's quasi-love interest Elsa. It's disappointing that the reunion between the director and his "Beetlejuice"/"Edward Scissorhands" ingenue felt so limited.
Pro: The movie's pro-science stance There's a very funny moment in the movie when Victor's teacher, Mr. Rzykruski, who has been encouraging his scientific endeavors, scolds the townspeople for being afraid of science. It's a sharp piece of satirical writing that seems to have become even more relevant in this day and age.
Con: Someone's probably going to get offended. And it's most likely going to be someone from Fox News.
Pro: This is a classic horror movie fan's dream. "Frankenweenie" is chock full of homages to everything from "The Mummy" to "Godzilla," and the black-and-white cinematography enhances the retro aesthetic. This movie deserves to be added to your annual Halloween playlist.
Con: Sparky's death In just a few short minutes, the movie establishes Sparky as an adorably loyal best friend. So even though we knew it was coming -- and even though we knew he would come back to life -- we couldn't help but get a lump in our throat when he croaks. There's just something about watching man's best friend kick the bucket on screen. We can't bear it!

5Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Going to be on SNL This Weekend, You Guys
Don't know. Truth be told, I'm more excited to see Paul Rudd (who's also going to be on the show) in action than I am to see JGL. I feel like JGL has got this "who, me?" hipster thing on lockdown, and the more he embraces it, the more sick of him I get. Go figure. It's just … I have a hard time watching Joseph Gordon-Levitt pretending to have this insurmountable, over the top bravado, but not really having to pretend because the pompous bravado is actually kind of for real.
Last, can I just say how I positively *hate* how I have to sit through fifteen-or-thirty whole seconds of ads before I can watch the damn video?
Here's my favorite: PAUL RUDD, being Paul Rudd.
Who'd you rather—Joseph Gordon-Levitt (sorry, I mean "Joseph Gordon-LEVITT!") or Paul Rudd?

i'm sorry but if you are going to start hating on joes adorable face i don't think i can keep coming to this site… that man is PERFECT!
Wahhhh! none of these vids are available on Canadian soil. And I SO wanted to see that clip of Lindsay as Liz…
I know it's sooo annoying!! I really wanted the snl promo! I wish the NBC website could have Canadian ads for Canadian viewers so we could watch the videos, too.
Why must I choose? Waaaah.
Paul Rudd? Once upon a time, went with husband to NYC cuz "3 Days of Rain" had 2 acts, 3 actors. Wanted to see Paul Rudd in person, in love with him at 1st sight ever since "Clueless". Hubby desired sight of Julia Roberts in the flesh, the happy hooker of "Pretty Woman". Both of the above mentioned were dreary live, onstage, no charisma whatsoever. Actor we were not interested in, now a much bigger name was mesmerizing, engaging, stole the show. Bradley Cooper. Go figure. Vote JGL.

By sam on 12/11/2013 sam would recommend this product to a friend Ive ordered from Bulk Reef before and the shipping is fast ! Got it out of shipping box and five minutes later making ro/di water! What i like about it its all ready to go you dont have to put filters in or di media. Quality product at a very good price! Thanks Excellent RODI unit By John on 12/10/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend I am very pleased with this unit and for the price. Has all the options I needed as well as the attachements and aso. Unit shipped well and was easy to install. I had 30 gallons of rodi water in about 8 hours. Thank you BRS for the great customer service! John Value Plus - no question it is! By MMM on 12/9/2013 MMM would recommend this product to a friend A) this was my first BRS order - shipped fast, packed well B) When they say value plus what they really mean is you are getting one heck of a value. How many RO/DI units priced at this level come equipped as well as this thing? Very few, in fact I didnt find one and have been looking for a while. C) 75 GPD my butt! I am sure its because I have great water pressure (just over 80 psi) but I can make about 20 gallons in about 2.5-3 hours. My old 75gpd took much longer - nearly double D) Sturdy mounting kit, length of line more than enough, TDS Meter, valves, shut off and flush kit all work great E) Wish I had bought this a long time ago - I got it on the black friday doorbuster sale but even at the regular price it is still an awesome deal. got the best deal By big sweaty d on 12/5/2013 big sweaty d would recommend this product to a friend well i just opened the ro di system i got on sale for 140. I hooked it up to my faucet then hooked it up to my float valve and tried to see if the waste line would stop flowing but it didnt i dont know if it is defaulty. The system is a good 12-15 pound and very heavy duty. I didnt change the hoses but if the auto shut off valve is broke i hope brs sends me one and i dont have send the whole system back Great Product and features... Couldn't be happier! By Rogeman on 12/4/2013 Rogeman would recommend this product to a friend Everything was packaged well, put together properly and is now producing 0 TDS RO/DI water, my fish thank you and my back thanks you as well, no more 5 gallon jugs!!! Don't forget to order your valves, Tees, elbows, floats, and extra line for your custom set-up. I was reading some earlier reviews, and there is some confusion out there; The duel in-line TDS meter is reading after the RO membrane(In) and then after the DI stage (Out). It does not measure tap water TDS. The best!!!!! By Travis on 12/4/2013 Travis would recommend this product to a friend This is the by far best quality ro system i have ever owned. Had this thing running in minutes after opening box. No leaks no problems at 90 psi it makes about 6 gal an hour very nice. Excellent product very easy install By robert on 12/1/2013 robert would recommend this product to a friend I just got the BRS 75 gallon ro/di plus system and could not be happier. Comes fully assembled very easy install. Makes perfect 0 TDS water. My water pressure is just above 40 psi and i didn't need to get a booster pump to get good flow. I've had great results with BRS. so far so goooood By warrior reefer on 11/26/2013 warrior reefer would recommend this product to a friend look really reliable, super easy to install and really good water quality , my corals star looking happier, but no matter is to early for a review , is easy to see the quality . highly recommended... Excellent By Monster on 11/20/2013 Monster would recommend this product to a friend Nice and easy to install... I had it mounted, up and running in less than an hour... Performs as advertised! Works great! By C on 11/19/2013 C would recommend this product to a friend Only disappointment is that the sink adapter that was sent to me was bent. I just went to Home Depot and got an adapter for the hose fitting and hooked that up to my sink. Great product By small_fry_keeper on 11/12/2013 small_fry_keeper would recommend this product to a friend Took me longer to get it out of the box than to get it going. Very very happy should have got one years ago my cat fish are super happy to have good water... Great Product By Kevin on 11/8/2013 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend Simple to hook up and meets its rated output @ 60 PSI water pressure. Installation instructions are clear and well illustrated with photos. The pressure gauge and TDS meter are easy to read. Great Value all around. It would be nice if they offered an permanent connection kit as well. Luckily the local big box had a knowledgeable plumbing guy. 3 new parts and 30 minutes later, it is permanently connected under my laundry sink.

First of all, let me state that the Century is an older, smaller ship. In spite of her age, she is lovingly cared for. Rich woods highlight the areas. We enjoyed that it is a 'cozy' ship. It was easy to become comfortable with the layout.
Cabin: Our stateroom was a Sky Suite, Deck 12. The room set-up was roomy and comfortable. The balcony was HUGH! Jacuzzi tub in bathroom wonderful, especially after the Zipline experience! The service provided by our butler, Albino, and room attendant left nothing to be desired. They were always near by and so cheerful in their assistance. Upholstery on couch and chairs needs updating, rather worn.
Dining Room: Lovely setting, varied menu, tasty food and great service. We had early dining and our servers, Santosa & Marina pampered us. The food in the buffets was enjoyable. The hamburgers at the poolside grill were yummy. Service at the brunch was horrid. We were herded like cattle to tables and waited 30 minutes for a cup of coffee, with nary a refill offered. The food was very good and so many choices.
Guest Services: This was the only downside. Those we spoke with were very very difficult to understand. The personnel seemed uncomfortable with the English language. We ended up always going down in person, and even then it was a struggle.
We will choose to cruise on the Century again, no question.

ENCINITAS (CNS) - A yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas got under way Friday.
Caregivers, former patients and community leaders gathered at the hospital to share memories, give thanks and unveil a historical photo display of the facility. Scripps also presented a commendation to one of the hospital's founders, Dr. Dwight Cook.
"In 1963, our founding physicians broke ground on this hospital to meet the health care needs of North County, because they had the vision to see this region as a vibrant, growing area," said Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health. "This hospital is rooted in the spirit of providing superior care to our patients, which is a legacy that continues to this day."
The medical center opened as the 60-bed Encinitas Convalescent Hospital, but has since grown to become a full-service hospital offering surgical procedures, 24-hour emergency care and treatments for stroke, heart, cancer and orthopedic patients.
According to Scripps Health, the facility receives more than 80,000 patient visits annually. Its staff delivers about 1,600 babies and handles 4,600 surgical procedures per year.
The photo display can be viewed by the public inside the hospital. The public is also invited to contribute to a time capsule, with details on how to contribute to be released later.
According to Scripps Health, the seeds of the hospital were planted in 1960, when Cook and Dr. Charles Clark established a medical practice on Santa Fe Drive and discovered a need for wider health care services. Groundbreaking was held for the hospital in 1963, and it opened in 1964.
The facility was renamed San Dieguito Hospital following an expansion in 1975, and it was sold to Scripps three years later.
"I'm pleasantly surprised and quite grateful to see how the hospital has developed over the years to provide a wider range of services," said Dr. Ronald Summers, who joined with Cook and Clark to develop the facility. "Our main goal in the first place was to serve the health care needs of the community, and Scripps has done a tremendous job of taking what we started and helping it grow."
Scripps Encinitas recently built a new parking garage and is working on an expanded emergency department, which is expected to open next year.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The epic trip down Rockcastle River produced few moments of great note. Mostly it was a very fast, uneventful trip, which isn't a bad thing.
Turns out the water level stood somewhere south of whitewater, but a little north of prime fishing speed. Casts had to be made in front of the boat and before you stopped reeling the bait would be behind you. That's a little too fast when your main quarry is red eye.
Red eye are a compact, but aggressive little fish that give the appearance to be cousin to both the bass and the bluegill. They get their name from fiery red eyes. They can usually be found hanging out around stumps that provide them plenty of ambush cover near the bank. They are the gang thugs of the fish world.
When you get on a good red eye stump you can catch a full mess of fish in just a few minutes. We didn't get such luck last week, but did catch enough strays to make a mess. The two best red eyes I caught bolted from a stump to attack a white rooster tail.
One of the other fishers caught the only non-red eye of the trip. A nice 14-inch smallmouth exploded on a top water bait. Unfortunately when filleted, the bass was full of worms and unfit to eat. Although the worms are supposedly safe to consume, who really wants a side of larvae with their dinner?
Although we did paddle at times, it was mostly to get to a particular spot and not just for locomotion. There was plenty of forward progress provided by the river. There were times I lodged my kayak between logs to keep from being swept away from a prime fishing spot. There was never a need to portage or even to pole your way through shallow water.
One of the thrills of such a trip is to share it with other people. It's more fulfilling to do that in person with someone of like interest to get tips for future trips or just swap good stories. I felt pretty good about the trip as I shared it with some kids half my age. I left the conversation feeling like a city boy.
Turns out while I was sitting in a comfortable boat being pushed down a river by a steady flow of water, they were really getting wild.
I heard stories of gigging 100 frogs in a night and all of them being eaten. I was schooled on how to catch crawdads and the best way to cook them. Turns out they only have to boil for a few seconds, until they turn red and their eyes turn white. Also turns out crawdads scream.
Seems I have a way to go before being a mountain man.
