UPDATE [Aug. 19, 2013] -- Volunteers have made remarkable progress cleaning up a massive illegal dump site in Denison.Every Monday since our report aired in July, workers with Home Depot in Sherman have returned to the property to help clean the pile.
They say they've come across everything from building supplies and Christmas decorations to lawnmowers and snakes. They've had to bring in heavy equipment just to clear a path to get to the pile. So far, they say they're about half-way finished with the entire project. "I see progress. I see definitely the level of commitment that the Home Depot associates have put out here to help make an impact on it," general manager Mike Alexander said.
Workers expect to finish the job in about six more weeks.UPDATE [July 15, 2013] -- Early morning rain didn't stop the clean-up of a dump site behind the home of a disabled Denison man.
Crews with Home Depot in Sherman showed up at the home on Nelson Street at 7am.
Homeowner Tim Redford says one woman worked all day Sunday to help clear up the trash, too.
Together, they were able to top off one dumpster with trash, wood and other debris.
While the pile still has a long way to go before it's cleaned up, Home Depot manager Mike Alexander says its committed to seeing the job through."It's an opportunity for us to give back to the community. I mean, there's really no expertise to do this. It's really just having the will and the labor to do it, and we have that," Alexander said."It's a huge difference," homeowner Redford said. "Looks a lot better."Redford is disabled and unable to clear out the trash by himself. He says people have been illegally dumping trash behind the home for years. He moved into the home in June.
Home Depot says it's planning to return next Monday to continue to the clean up.UPDATE: Denison man in the middle of an illegal dumping disputeUPDATE [July 11, 2013] -- A disabled Denison man says an overnight outpouring of support has been overwhelming.
KTEN first brought you his story Wednesday. Tim Redford recently moved into a home on Nelson Drive in Denison. For years, he says people have been illegally dumping trash behind his home. The trash is on the other side of Redford's property line. The city says it does not own the property either and is in the process of trying to figure out to whom it belongs.
Meanwhile, Redford would like to see the site cleaned up. However, he is unable to make much progress himself because of his condition. After his story aired, KTEN began received emails and messages from people throughout Texoma wanting to help, including dozens Denison High School Honor Society students. The City of Denison also committed to cleaning up the site. It said it would haul away and replace trash dumpsters as soon as they become full.
Redford also says a mother and her six young children showed up at his home Thursday to lend a hand."It's unbelievable," Redford said holding back tears. "Especially being -- used to -- I was the one that was helping people and to see somebody coming out and doing it for me, just tears me up."Redford is a retired police officer. He was struck by a driver during a traffic stop while working for the Bokchito Police Department.
The Home Depot in Sherman has also offered to help by coordinating a large clean-up set for next week.UPDATE: Denison man in the middle of an illegal dumping dispute[Posted: Jul 10, 2013 6:44 PM CDT]DENISON – Tim Redford says he wants the unsightly mess near his property gone just as much as the city does. But, he says there are multiple reasons why -- for him -- cleaning it up will be next to impossible.Looking out at his backyard all Redford sees is a massive mess he didn't make, and he says he's in no condition to clean it up.
Redford is a retired police officer who says he was injured during a traffic stop while on duty for the Bokchito Police Department.
"Got hit by a car, knocked me across the highway, it messed my back up and finally had to retire from working," he said.
Redford recently purchased the home on Nelson Drive in Denison.
But for years, he says, people have been illegally dumping trash into the 30 foot ditch behind his backyard. Now, he says the city wants him to clear it out and dropped off a dumpster this week to help.
"The city brought it out so I could try to start getting this cleaned up," he said.
but Redford says, not only is he incapable of cleaning up all the junk by himself, he says can't afford to hire help and feels he shouldn't have to because he says the trash is on the other side of his property line.
"We did measurements and found out it wasn't our property," he said. "Called the city and they said they didn't know whose it was and they came back and they said that it used to belong to the railroad, that they had abandoned it and now it's no mans land."
According to Texas human health and safety code, a person disposing of waste in a manner that may cause the pollution of the surrounding land, the contamination of groundwater or surface water, or the breeding of insects or rodents can be fined up to $1,000 and sent to jail for up to 30 days.
But, not knowing who the property actually belongs to creates another hurdle.
Redford says, regardless of who's responsible, he'll continue to clean up what he can.
"I don't want to live in a garbage dump," he said. "I'm poor, I ain't got much, but what I got I want to look nice."

The East Texas Food Bank now has a new way to travel across the 26 counties they serve every day. A 2014 Toyota Prius was given to the East Texas Food Bank Tuesday as part of Toyota's annual 100 Cars For Good philanthropy program.
"We know the East Texas Food Bank does a lot of good for East Texas and it's a fantastic opportunity to be able to reward them back with something that's going to help them do a better job for East Texans," said general sales manager Scott Reed.
The non-profit was selected as a winner by East Texans through public voting on Facebook. The food bank was the only winner in East Texas chosen from other agencies around the United States.
"This car is going to be used to travel all across East Texas to help us establish new points of services, educate the public in some of our under-serviced communities so we can get new agencies and new programs established," said East Texas Food Bank executive director Dennis Cullinane. "We're just very, very fortunate to have the help of this community to help get this vehicle for us to do the job. It means a lot to secure this prize."
Cullinane says he'll be driving the car out of the Toyota showroom on Tuesday. The first stop will be to serve the Longview community.

Some Decatur groups joined together to provide a different kind of Thanksgiving dinner.
Volunteers with local churches and organizations have been gathering for the past few years at Austinville Methodist Church to provide Thanksgiving dinner for Morgan County inmates.
"For so many of these volunteers being able to serve these prisoners is a blessing. And it's a blessing they recognize," said Carl DeLeo.
"It makes me feel good to know that there are people out there who care about us that much," said inmate Marcus Spangler.
"People like this uplift me, cause you know me and the rest of the brothers we're having a hard time and you know without our families and sometimes it gets rough on them and we just appreciate ya'll for blessing us with this meal," said inmate Brian Williams.
The numbers are growing every year and it is a community effort which uses a lot of volunteers.
""By doing this we are able to open up the doors and go into the prison system and teach them and work with them," said program director Richard Cassis.
Food was also provided to walk ins and people who normally get Meals on Wheels.

Overview:The benefits of server virtualization for consolidation as well as management transparency are becoming well understood as are the issues associated with protecting data in virtualized server environments. There are many options to meet different RTO and RPO requirements. Virtualized server environments or infrastructures have varying functionalities and interfaces for application aware integration to enable complete and comprehensive data protection with data and transactional integrity. A combination of tape and disk-based data protection, including archiving for data preservation, coupled with a data footprint reduction strategy can help to address PCFE or "green" while meeting other needs and issues. There is no time like the present to re-assess, re-architect and re-configure your data protection environment particularly if are planning on, or have already initiated a server virtualization initiative. The bottom line is that virtual server environments require real and physical data protection. After all, you can not go forward if you can not go back.

I am trying to install Revit 2013 on a windows 7 machine that meets all the requirements, I have updated everything, and stopped the antivirus, but the install still hangs.
I have attached the install log and would appreciate help with suggestions. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Have you tried just waiting it out?
I have let it run probablly about 3 hours. I would expect that it should install within that time.
Does what you see in the log file suggest that it is still going but is just slow?
I've seen it go twice as long as that sometimes. Try letting it run overnight just as a test. If it isn't installed in the morning, you have issues. :-D
Hi there,I've had this issue and this is what i did, First make sure you have internet access and that the Proxy is set correctly (If you use a proxy server try giving the machine full outbound) and try to run the install with an admin account.
I ran it over night and it was installed by morning. Phew!
Thanks for your help!
So the solution is what? To wait for 8 hours to install a program?
In my case yes.
Good answer.
well,I also has the pronlem with revit 2013.
when I click " extrusion" and finish drawing a square, it doest show any hint in the tool bar as" MODE",which has the tick meaning OK.!!
Just hope someone can help me fix.....thx a lot

3.1/5 rDev +9.5%
ive seen this beer drop in price the past few months, and picked in up on clearance at the local bottleshop for $4. While this doesn't inspire confidence, Ive enjoyed other gage road beers (such as the convict), and at this price, what is there to lose?
a - dark brown/hint of copper red, pours a thin head, a 3mm slight beige lacing persists, looks inviting
s - sweet dark cocoa, slight maltiness, would actually be a nice smell for a candle
t - straight out of the fridge, this does not taste good - think dark cooking chocolate, overly sweet, but with a tarty finish. Letting it warm up a bit, some of the sweet malt flavours comes through. Not as much alcohol as other ales of similar ABV, maybe masked by the chocolate.
m - a tad watery, light to medium body, lively carbonation at first.
o - definitely different. much better if warmed up with the choc less pronounced, and it grew on me as it did so. Interesting effort, but i don't think the chocolate and high alcohol content go together all that well. at this price, well worth a try, esp if in winter months

3.5/5 rDev +23.7%
Bottle: a solid dark brown 640mL bottle with a fantastic label typical of Gage Roads' special brews.
Appearance: pours an intense auburn-brown with a solid one-finger off-white head. Reasonable retention and some lacing. Drops to a film with solid ring after around a minute.
Aroma: smells quite sweetly of milk chocolate with some spices.
Taste: a combination of strong - almost pungent - cocoa and a smooth caramel with those spices along for the ride, though I can't put my finger on them. Cardamon? Not sure.
Aftertaste: drops off pretty quickly, but still a nice flavour profile.
Mouth feel: medium in body with moderate carbonation. Carries the flavour well, but I almost think it could do with a slightly heavier body.
Overall: a very interesting take on the chocolate beer - something very different. Half-way between a milk stout and a Belgian heavy. Nice - definitely worth the price tag of AU$6.80 a bottle, equivalent to 24 x 330mL for AU$75 a case (2013).

3.36/5 rDev +18.7%
A: Pours dark amber color with a decent off-white head that fades to bits of lacing.
S: Aroma of mi ok chocolate, with some dark fruit and spice.
T: Taste of milk chocolate, some dark fruit and spice. A subtle bitterness that helps to mute a lingering chocolate sweetness.
F: Medium body, smooth and creamy. Nice balance but a bit too much chocolate. The 7.4% ABV is well hidden.
O: Nice beer but a bit too much chocolate to really enjoy.

2.39/5 rDev -15.5%
Mostly clear amber-red colour with a small, light tan head. Fair head retention.
Slightly nutty, very sweet aroma. Touches of cheap chocolate. Okay but nothing special.
Sweet and artificial. Too me there is way too much sweet milk chocolate flavour and touches of cinnamon. It lacks a clear malty punch and quality flavour. Not all that nice given the alcohol content.
Medium body with moderately-high carbonation. The flavours just make it unpleasant despite the okay mouthfeel.
An over-sweet, under-flavoured beer. Lacking interest and refinement.

Another Gage Roads limited release: Abstinence, something if you have ever read my reviews would realise that I'm not good at. At least it's just the name of the beer and not something one has to go through to drink it, I would fail. Miserably.
Poured from a 640ml bottle into a St Feuillien chalice.
A: The body presents a clear earthy sienna with a light wisp of cream coloured lacing on top. No complaints here, Dubbel's usually have a weak head anyhow.
S: Rich topiary of caramel malts, chocolate, potpourri and light yeast. Intriguing in the least.
T: Sweet caramel upfront, follows through to a dusty Cadburyesque cocoa, then more sugar - like candi sugar, and finishes slightly dry. Hops? None that one could tell. Flavour is sweet, dessert beer sweet, with none of the finesse or style of an actual Belgian Dubbel. Also for a chocolate beer this actually tastes more like caramel than chocolate.
M: Medium bodied, dense carbonation and that chocolate dustiness comes through in the mouthfeel as well.
D: 'Complex robust decadent' the bottle label proclaims. It is none of those. 'Sweet dusty average' would be a more realistic claim. That being said I like that Gage have made an attempt at something unique, much like The Convict, this is a good direction which I wholeheartedly encourage from all Aussie brewers. Hopefully we see more of this spirit, and a little more finesse from Gage, then they will get there - the beer sweet-spot that Belgium has dominated for so long.
Food match: Desserts of course, that being said I found this brew to be leaning more towards caramel flavours so a decent creme broulee or banoffe pie would work better versus a chocolate fondant or a parfait.

1.68/5 rDev -40.6%
I guess BA has added .25s and .75s to the rating system since I last wrote a review. I'm usually drunk enough at the time I write these that it is confusing enough. Gosh.
Anyways, I was surprisingly impressed with Gage Roads' last limited offering (The Convict) so I figured I'd give this one a bash too, in spite of it being a style I don't necessarily like (not dubbel but rather the bastard watery chocolate beer I imagined it to be, and that there is a bit of nowadays). Translucent amber with bugger-all head, smells of cooking chocolate with a vague hint of fruit (passionfruit?) and nothing much else.
Doesn't taste like much on first sip. A big watery nothing with a bit of caramel and a finish of cheap chocolate, cocoa powder, sweet soy sauce and partially-suppressed fart. The whole thing is basically wrong.

Drank from my Duvel tulip
A - Pours a clear deep mahogany colour with no head.
S - Sweet sticky toffee and a rather unpleasent dirty house smell.
T - Up front some malts that are very sweet followed by a really nasty sticky dusty caramle flavour. Urgh
M - Light to medium body and medium carbonation
O - This misses the mark by a long way to me. Way too thin, a really unpleasent aroma, and the flavour is all over the place. When I think of Dubbles I think Achel Bruin and Rochefort 8. It would be a gross injustice to mention this beer in the same breath. This brewery are a bunch of jokers to me. They consistently fail to get better. A few years ago they brewed a Tripel and Saison special editions. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and applauded there vision to attempt such beers. They can no longer hide behind that banner, because so many other craft breweries some of which have been in existence for a lot less time have left them for dead. What is a real shame is that they had one of the best young brewers in the country and let him walk out the door !

A new limited release brewed with Ghanaian chocolate and fair trade cold extract coffee,love the artwork on label and pours a bronze with a two finger head and sporadic lacing,the smell is just like a chocolate eclair with caramel and fruity hops,the mouthfeel is medium bodied and over carbonated with tastes of that chocolate you first smell followed by the slightest and I mean slightest hit of milky coffee followed by the noble hops and overall it's average and I know they claim its a Dubbel but it has a lot of work to do cheers.

CAD .dwg to interactive media on web page
I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement the goal of:
Starting with .dwg in AutoCAD 2011 of a floor plan for trade show with over 1,000,000 sq. ft (translates to a very big svg) that ends up on a web page which can be interacted with by means of pan,zoom,click, etc.
Each booth on the floor plan is made up of 4 or 5 lines and text.
My initial attempt was to open in Illustrator, save as .svg and then manipulate with javascript. Each time a zoom in/out happens; each line for each booth needs to be re-drawn which is very inefficient.
Before I continue on, I'm hoping to get some ideas on how one might implement this. If at all possible, please point to references. I can manage most languages but am proficient in PHP on the server side and the usual client side suspects. I'm open to all ideas, so please chime in.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your input!

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - The team of Chuck James and Brad James posted a two day total catch of 10 bass weighing 41.75 pounds to take the win in the 2013 Tow Boat U.S. Chattanooga Bass Association Classic Championship on Lake Chickamauga.
"We fished frogs in the grass both days of the tournament and everything we weighed in seemed to bite in the middle of the day" said Chuck.
Day One Big Fish Winners:Tom Brindle and Brian Wilson with a 5.87 lb. largemouthBilly Campbell with a .87 lb. spotted bassBaron Adams and Brian Pierce with a 2.87 lb. smallmouth
Day Two Big Fish Winners:Rogie Brown and Michael Neal with a 6.40 lb. largemouthStan Dickert and Gene Cote with a 3.51 lb. spotted bassThere was no smallmouth caught.
This event was held at Chester Frost Park where 61 teams battled for the prestigious honor of CBA Classic Champions and $10,000.00 first place money. The total payout of this year's two-day event totaled $53,000.00.
The fishermen faced a cold front with blue bird skies which made fishing very difficult for many teams in this 36th year old event.
Towboat U.S. owners, Shane and Stacy O'Neal, sponsored this year's event.
Shane says "For over 46 years, BoatUS has been delivering time, money and life saving services to recreational boaters from coast to coast. We fight for your rights on Capitol Hill, we have the finest low cost boat insurance, the largest fleet of tow boats ready to assist you 24/7 when the unexpected happens on the water, and an award-winning magazine that reports information you won't find in other boating publications. We love helping you save money – through equipment discounts at West Marine and on fuel, transient slips and repairs at over 900 marinas around the country. We also provide boaters with an accredited online safety course and are committed to making our waterways clean for all".
The top 10 are as follows:1st - Chuck and Brad James with 41.75 lbs., $10,0002nd - Rogie Brown and Michael Neal with 34.94 lbs., $5,0003rd - Tony Townsend and Galen James with 34.73 lbs., $3,5004th - Buddy Gross and James Milling with 33.82 lbs., $3,000 5th - Eddie Wilson and Don Lamb with 33.64 lbs., $2,5006th - Steve Kite and Daniel Lewis with 32.35 lbs., $2,0007th - Barry Wingo and Jeff Hineman with 31.83 lbs., $1,4008th - Steve Barnes and Spencer Smith with 31.21 lbs., $1,1009th - Baron Adams and Brian Pierce with 30.26 lbs., $1,00010th - Ben Hayes and Brent Hayes with 29.49 lbs., $950

Is this a Machinarium type game? Cool, thanks for bringing this to PlayBook. Is this a Android port? I don't mind paying a little extra than other platforms but I do mind paying for Android ports. I also would like to try before I buy at 2.99 if it were. 99 I would probably just buy it without thinking twice. Again thanks for bringing this to PlayBookI waited...It launched...Im still waiting...

i agree, valid points but Ż3 is still to much, not by much but still. Especially for a game with little replay value after completion. Releases like this have an air of 'were doing you a favour" so well charge what we want. Other pb developers charge and have charged a lot less for higher quality games and have done well from it. I love my pb, and will buy decent games if they are priced decently.
"supporting" is a weak word it smells of defeat can we stop using it in the forums?

[NEW GAME] The Tiny Bang Story is now on BlackBerry!
You're right and i understand an app has production cost and the dev needs to eat and all, but for me, as a PB user, sometimes i feel ripped/angry/sad,etc when i have to pay for a free app on another platform.
I understand how the market works, but it makes me feel, a PB user, left aside(hope BB 10 fixes this).
The biggest rip off i "felt"(not saw),was when my friend, on his late Iphone 4, dlded the GOF 2 game. When i asked "how much", he said "free"... We have to pay 9,50Ć! That's sad. And thats all.

Amazing game with beautiful graphics. Be ready to use your brain cuz it's not easy. Love it - definitely worth the price. I have no problem paying for a quality game (and to me, $2.99 is pretty cheap for one this good).Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Picked this one up on Friday. When you see the artwork, and hear the music and sounds, you can tell a lot of effort has been put into the look and feel of the game. The puzzle genre and general theme of the game should feel familiar to fans of Machinarium, and older games like the Myst series.
That being said, I think the game can be easily completed in under 4 hours. It's unlikely you'll get completely stumped like you could in the afore mentioned games, though. The world exploration has you, for the most part, collecting hidden objects to access the puzzles, the solving of which will let you progress in some way. There isn't really any figuring out to do in the general game progression, and you don't even have to know why you're doing anything to get it done. Look at what you need to find, find it, complete a puzzle, look for the next set of hidden objects. What you may find aswell is that you start to spot objects you'll need to find before you need to find them. On one side, you could say this adds to the memory aspect of the game because you'll have to go back eventually to find them again. On the other side, you may just end up wishing you could pick the objects up before you're asked to, coz you really don't want to have to go back to find them again.
The puzzles then become the meat of the game. There's a good number of them, and no two are really alike. Many of them, however, don't really feel like puzzles, or at least not very well made ones. Some of them are unclear, even with a hint trying to explain what the point of the puzzle is. Some of them are mildly frustrating or feel like "puzzle-filler". Some of them are easier to complete simply by randomly pressing the screen. Some of them can even be completed without you fulfilling the prerequisites. Personally, I didn't find any of them particularly challenging, and some even felt similar to the ones you find in Machinarium.
Once you complete the game, which might happen without you realizing, you're rewarded with a little radio that lets you cycle through the game's music, and instant access to all the puzzles in the game. The puzzles mostly have one solution, so once you've completed them once, you should know how to complete them in the same way the second or third time you feel the urge to complete them again... in the same way. Why you would feel the urge to complete them again is probably a more interesting point for discussion. At the very least, though, you can present the puzzles to your friends, and see how well they do with them. So... yeah, always nice to buy a game for your friends.

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 to become Super Bowl champions.
The 49'ers hopes of a huge comeback ran out on a 4th-down non-call when a Baltimore defender put his hands on a receiver attempting to make the touchdown that would have put San Francisco ahead.
With Baltimore up 34-29, Baltimore's punter surprised S.F. by taking an intentional safety, giving up two points but taking 8 seconds off the clock, and eliminating the risk of a punt from the end zone.
Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes to help the Baltimore ravens take a 21-6 halftime lead. He went 13 for 20 with 192 yards and three scores before halftime. As Flacco flourished, the 49ers struggled. San Francisco turned the ball over twice in a 5-minute span in the second quarter.
Jacoby Jones set the tone for the Ravens in the second half. Jones' 109 yard kick return to start the second half was the longest in NFL history.
However, the Ravens' dominance was put on hold after the power went out in the Superdome early in the third quarter. Teams remained on the field with players stretching and trying to stay warmed up.
As play resumed, the momentum shifted. Michael Crabtree caught a 31 yard pass from Colin Kaepernick for a third quarter touchdown cutting the Ravens lead to 15. Following the 78-yard San Francisco drive, the 49ers defense sacked Joe Flacco on a third down play forcing a punt.
San Francisco's Ted Ginn Jr. returned the punt inside the Ravens' 30-yard line. A Frank Gore short run cut the 49ers's deficit to eight points.
The Ravens led 28-23 going into the fourth quarter.

Symbolism Thesaurus Superstitions and Signs: Bad Luck Omens
Look at the setting and the character's state of mind, and then think about what you want the reader to see. Is there a descriptive symbol or two that works naturally within the scene to help foreshadow an event or theme, or create insight into the character's emotional plight?
In Nature:
A lack of birds
Animals running from a forest
Ominous clouds
Black rot on a branch, in a portion of a crop, a patch of ground
Touching or standing close to a lightning-struck tree
Comets (some perceive this as a good omen, others bad)
Climbing a tree during lightning storm
Ravens & crows
Full Moon
Killing a ladybug or cricket
Killing a sparrow
Finding a dead bird in your path
Lightning strikes
Three butterflies on a flower
Standing on high rocks
Drinking water that holds the moon's reflection
Earth tremors
Five leafed clover
In Society:
Black cats
Walking under ladders
Spilling salt
Breaking a mirror
Opening an umbrella inside
Stepping on sidewalk cracks
Refusing a kiss under the mistletoe
Getting out of bed on the opposite side you went in
Buying/giving a person a wallet without putting money in it first
Giving a knife as a gift without also giving a coin
Killing an albatross brings bad luck to all on a ship
Putting your left foot down first when getting out of bed
The number 13
Shoes on a table
Hat on a bed
Dropping a dishcloth
Counting the cars in a funeral procession
Bat flying in the house
Chasing someone with a broom
Cutting your nails on a Friday
Seeing a white cat at night
A bird coming to the window
Rocking an empty rocking chair
Friday the 13th
Curdled milk
Sleeping or singing at the table
Goldfish in the house
Wearing an opal if it isn't your birthstone
Changing the name of a ship or boat
These are just a few examples of things one might associate with Bad Luck Omens. Some are more powerful than others. A black cat is a strong symbol, and likely will not require reinforcement. However, curdled milk may not foreshadow Bad luck on its own. Let the story's tone decide if one strong symbol or several smaller ones work the best.

Excellent list! Incidentally, I used the "curdled milk" symbol in a sci-fi novel without even realizing it at the time I wrote it. But when I looked back at that particular chapter, it fit PERFECTLY. :)

Wow! There's a lot in your list that I hadn't heard of before, but they make perfect sense. Intuitively they sound like bad luck, and I suspect the reader won't even notice *why* they've started to feel uneasy. Too cool!

Haha on the stepping on sidewalk cracks. I don't see it as bad luck, but I still try to pace so I don't step on them if I can help it. A sort sort of mild obsession.

Tablet Finder Update – December 2011
It looks like Asus, Samsung, HP and Dell just can't wait for finger friendly Windows 8 to come out as they have all released Windows 7 tablets recently. While Dell's and HP's efforts are pretty average the Samsung 700T is actually the first Windows 7 tablet we have seen that might actually do a decent job. Still we think it would be better to hold off your Windows tablet purchase just a wee-bit longer as Windows 8 is just around the corner. We added 40 tablets this month bringing the total number of tablets in our Tablet Finder to 160. See the tull list of tablets added after the break.

activities and attractions in Puerto Rico Caribbean
Old San Juan Tour
You will pass through some of the newer sections of San Juan before crossing over on to the island of Old San Juan, connected by bridges to mainland Puerto Rico. Your tour should absolutely include Fort San Cristobal, which successfully defended Puerto Rico from attack by the British and Dutch in centuries gone Explore the old city on foot and visit sites such as Plaza de Armas, San Juan Cathedral, La Plazoleta de la Rogativa, a grand statue commemorating the salvation of the old city in the 16th century. You should also visit Plaza San Jose, as well as the gardens of Casa Blanca and San Juan Gate. Give yourself plenty of free time for lunch and shopping in the many boutiques and outlets that line the historical cobblestone streets before returning to your villa.
El Yunque
Part of the U.S. National Forest System, El Yunque boasts over 240 varieties of plants and receives an average of 200 inches of rainfall each year. Visit Coca Falls, stop at Yokahú Tower which commands a view of the entire northeast coast of Puerto Rico, and hike along the Caimitillo trail. Be sure to bring bottled water! Guided tours are available but we prefer and suggest self-guided walks.
For the real adventurer, take on the hike to La Mina Falls. This hike is approximately 45 minutes going downhill and a 55 minute hike return – all up hill. The pain is well worth it when you arrive at the beautiful waterfall and swimming hole at Las Minas, where you can wade in the water, or simply relax and take in the beautiful and exotic surroundings.
Bio Bay
Under the blanket of night sky and the historical lighthouse of Fajardo you can touch the waters that glow with bio-luminescent micro-organisms. Take a two person leisure kayak trip through the mangrove forests into a secret lagoon bathed in moonlight. Little ones can ride with a parent. The guides make sure you are on the right track to the lagoon as it does get very dark. Once you reach Laguna Grande, relax and watch the sparkling swirls of water created by the paddles flow through the water and search for amazing streaks of light created by darting fish. Truly a beautiful and amazing part of Puerto Rico.
While the beautiful beach, just walking distance from your villa, will provide you with ample snorkeling waters, the avid snorkeler may want to partake in some of the wonderful tours offered centrally at Palmas Del Mar. Travel to Monkey Island for as little as $65 pp, Vieques Island for $75 pp or take a whole day adventure and travel out to the beautiful and private Culebra Island for $200 pp. All trips include instruction by the captain, life jackets, snorkeling equipment, beer, soda and snacks.

The North Dakota High School Activities Association Board of Directors met this morning.
And on the agenda was a proposal to move the spring sports state tournaments back two weeks.
That proposal submitted by West Fargo was voted down unanimously.
So all spring state tournament dates will remain the same.
There will also be a big change coming to tournaments next season.
The board voted unanimously to make fans sit in the bleachers, they can longer be on the tournament floor.
Meaning at basketball tournaments, fans can no longer stand on the baselines behind the baskets
The rule doesn't affect regular season games, but will not be allowed during regional and state tournaments.
Matt Fetch with the Activities Association says there were multiple complaints about abusive verbal behavior by student fans towards players.
Fetch said there wasn't much concern about students storming the court, but instead poor sportsmanship towards the opposition.
This will have the largest affect on boys basketball.
Multiple WDA coaches have already said they don't agree with the new rule, and think it will detract from the emotion and atmosphere of tournaments.

The Green Monkey Footed Pajamas are wonderful! Generous sizing for my 3 yr old, the full length zip makes getting in and out a breeze especially if she needs to get to the toilet "Now!".
The fabric is not too thick but it keeps her toasty warm throughout the night. There's no worry about feet getting cold either! The elastic within the pants cuffs keeps the pajamas from falling down and keeps the footsies perfectly in place.
Postage to Sydney, Australia was much quicker than I expected. Great service, fantastic price!

Posted By: JBev
My 8 year old loves these footie pjs. She begged for a pair long after Target sold out of the few they carried in her size. We have loved the fleece robes we purchased here so tried these pjs. They are comfy, cozy, and durable like Carters. They are plenty long to give us time to grow into them.

Employees support disabled Widnes boy
9:30am Saturday 6th October 2012 in News By Barbara Jordan, Chief Reporter
RUNCORN employees swapped their suits for jeans and raised more than £150 for a disabled Widnes schoolboy.
Staff at the Polar Ford dealership in Victoria Road, donated the money to seven-year-old Cameron Bray, the only child in the UK with a rare genetic condition called multicentric osteolysis.
The disorder has eaten away at the bones in his hands, feet and the back of his eyes, leaving him in a wheelchair.
Cameron, of Houghton Street, has just returned from America, where bone specialists prescribed orthopaedic shoes to help him walk, splints to support his hands, bone medication and exercises to support his condition.
He has been treated at Alder Hey Children's Hospital since he was two-years-old.
His aunt, Caroline Wright, is service advisor at Polar Ford.
The money raised will help pay for Cameron to make regular trips to Shriners Hospital for Children in St Louis, Missouri.
His next appointment is in February 2014.
Wellwishers have raised £13,000 to ensure he can continue with the treatment and research until he is 21.
Coleen Gates, from Polar Ford, said: "We are really pleased with the amount of money raised for the appeal. There was a great atmosphere in the showroom throughout the day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed being able to wear their jeans. I would like to say a big thank to everyone who helped organise the event and donated on the day."
The event was organised as part of Jeans for Genes day, established in 1996, to raises funds for research into serious and often life-threatening genetic disorders affecting thousands of children. More than £36 million has been raised since it began.

Animal gross-awesome-ness
February 28, 2012 | Tag(s): Animal Grossology, Audubon Aquarium, new exhibit
By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
It's yucky, icky and oh my gross! It's the newest exhibit at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas - Animal Grossology, the science of creatures gross and disgusting. Do you want to learn cool gross facts about animals? Did you know cows, goats and camel were considered cud munchers, which means they eat their own vomit. Ewww, so icky. The term for this type of animal is called a ruminant. Our Grossology exhibit has all kinds of interesting facts and interactive games you can play while learning about animals. You can try your luck at the slime game, and mix up blood at Transfusion Confusion. If you're brave get a whiff of smells at Sense The Scents. Take a slide in the Underwater Adventure and steer a submarine. You can also get a bird's eye view of the entire exhibit with the telescopic camera lens in the submarine. Over at the Chew Chew Express you can see inside a cow's mid-section and how his digestion works. Watch out though - this guy gets a little gassy! This exhibit has got it all, from the cold-blooded, slimy skinned amphibians, to the scarab dung beetle and even manure! I just know your kids are going to love this exhibit. What kid doesn't get a kick out of all the things that might gross their parents out? Animal Grossology takes on a different view of the Animal Kingdom. You get real facts about science through fun interactive entertainment while learning. I will warn you though that you will experience some of the stinkiest, slimiest and downright yuckiest creatures on earth. But it's all in big fun! You won't even notice that you're playing with poop. The exhibit is now open at the Aquarium and it's free with admission! Bring the family to see icky, stinky, and oh so yucky gross, but cool stuff at Animal Grossology!
Info: ~ Animal Grossology ~ @ Audubon Aquarium of the Americas ~
~ 10am – 5pm ~
~ Open now to September ~

Farmers' Market inSalisbury, MD. The rains came down and everybody was late to the Farmers' Market Saturday morning. No matter! When the Gardening Grannies finally arrived around 10AM, the place was bustling.
If you've never been, the Farmers' Market in Salisbury is located just behind the Avery Hall Insurance Company, just one block south of Main Street and on the west side of Route 13. If you come into Salisbury on Route 13, when you get to Main Street, just look for the green and white signs. It's very easy to find and there is free parking at both ends of the open air market.
The broad center aisle was filled with shoppers, young and….uh…mature. Little kids ooh'd and aah'd at the melons and flowers and petted the friendly dog accompanying another shopper as they (the kids, not the dog) scampered about enjoying the freedom of shopping in the open air.
A Farmers' Market is lovely to look at with vehicles parked neatly in two rows with their cargo loads facing the center aisle of the market, edged with tent and tarp-like structures protecting the farmers and their bounty from the elements. Carefully arranged on the tables are baskets of all sizes filled with eggplants, colorful peppers, potatoes, onions, melons, cantaloupes, peaches, lettuces, corn and tomatoes. There are herbs and herb plants, pastries (you've got to try the ricotta pound cake), jellies and jams. Often, there are varieties of fresh breads. You can find birdhouses made from gourds, flowers and flower plants.
The key word for a Farmers' Market is fresh. For this reason, the offerings vary from Saturday to Saturday as the peak seasons come and go. The Gardening Grannies believe that there are four main keys to successful shopping at a Farmers' Market:
1) Come with an open mind and shop for whatever looks good
2) Bring your own reusable fabric market bag(s)
3) Bring smaller bills ($1's, $5's and $10's are good) since you will most likely be buying from a variety of vendors
4) It is generally a good idea to get there early for the widest selection. The Salisbury Farmers' Market is open Saturdays from 8AM to 1PM.
While the Grannies love the downtown Salisbury Market, there is a Farmers' Market in or near every community on Delmarva. Some of them are on different days and the hours vary widely. Add to that all of the roadside stands and you can see why we didn't attempt to provide a list. Each market is different and each offers its own specialties, but the key word with all of them is fresh. Oh, and did we mention? Since there is no middle man, the prices are extremely reasonable.
OK, Grannies, next week, it's off your rockers and into the Farmers' Market for some of the freshest produce anywhere. Who knows? It might turn the most finicky eater at your house into a veggie lover!
The Gardening Grannies are a group of avid and Master Gardeners who live, love and garden on the Delmarva Peninsula. You can reach them with your questions or comments at email@example.com.

Americans Continue to Support Unions, Despite Weak Labor Laws and Corporate Media Messaging
Original post made by Mike Cherry on Aug 23, 2013
The above poll indicates that American unions continue to enjoy favorable ratings from most citizens. What is most noteworthy about this is that public approval has remained relatively stable despite only approximately 11% of American workers being unionized.
How is it that unions, beaten back by conservative administrations and demonized by the corporate media, continue to enjoy so much support?
The answer is that most Americans realize that their interests are aligned with the interests promoted by unions. It is unions, not those with anti-union views (mostly fascist-inclined Republicans), that have spearheaded most progressive, democratic change for nearly a century. 40 hour work week; child labor laws; racial and gendered diversity in the workplace; minimum wage; maternity leave. All these the naysayers have opposed, always ballyhooing that such changes would "force" capitalists to raise the price of consumer products.
What is noteworthy is that when capitalists HAVE raised consumer prices as a response to, say, union-advanced efforts to increase workplace safety, the American public has nevertheless maintained its support of union practices and values. Better to pay more to have a safe work environment than pay less with more workplace deaths and injuries as the upshot. Americans, it seems, are capable of thinking in terms of "we-ness" rather than what cognitive scientists and human development theorists have termed a cognitively stunted "I-ness" level of human consciousness. The latter are likely to celebrate valuing their own belly buttons over the welfare of others around them. With a straight face (and in all ignorance), they claim this stunted level of consciousness is 'human nature'.
What is objectively certain is that what gains unions have made have been to the advantage of all other workers. See above noted advances within the political economy. This is true of wages as well. For nearly a century union wages have been instrumental to level of American wages, generally, as employers found it increasingly difficult to pay substandard wages in the nonunionized sector in the face of publicized union wages.
Ironically, so successful have unions been in America, that companies, in pursuit of greed, have found ways to exploit cheaper, nonunionized labor overseas. Most Americans have seen this corporate money-grab for what it is: A concession by capital that Americans' wages, largely on account of unions' vanguard actions, have been well above the near-starvation wages capital now exploits overseas.
The corporate mentality urges us to blame unions for corporations' wont to make ungodly profits at the expense of its employees. In extending their joke of a position, they encourage Americans to forsake a safer work environment, to take pay cuts, work for less than minimum wage, pay into their own pensions and call this a raise.
A clear majority of American workers indicate their ongoing support for unions. The minority, mostly Republican, and inextricably wedded to views that Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya who is responsible for Katrina, continue to slather up the swill presented to them by the corporate media. And they end up saying the most fantastic things, and believing them, such as that a political perspective consonant with fascism is consistent with 'human nature'. Not so say the majority of American workers.
The struggle of organized labor against the forces of fascism continues. Which side are you on? Viva American Workers! Viva Workers Organizing Themselves! Viva the forces that fight fascism!

Nice try, Dave. Very high-minded response. Readers will be impressed with your intellect.
on Aug 23, 2013 at 3:12 pm
Apprentice skill unions are VERY DIFFERENT than PUBLIC unions, First and most obvious, very different EMPLOYERS ! In skilled private sector unions, the employERS can DECLARE BANKRUPTCY AND DISAPPEAR !
.... start a different business elsewhere. We the "PUBLIC" are hostages, prisoners, made victims to a system that should NOT exist in a public agency.
We need a Governor who makes both the 'will' and the 'good' of the PEOPLE foremost in his goals and actions. We should be like Boston, New York, Chicago, and not allow PUBLIC unions to strike. Actually, like DEM Pres, Franklin D. Roosevelt believed, it is an impossible conflict, and that PUBLIC unions COULD NOT work.. Here we are with unions lacking decency, integrity, and the basic understanding of balance and economics. WE Americans have lost our basic freedoms and protections. To BE FREE, We must END this CA/San Francisco greed and insanity.

NICA student-athletes currently competing in California, Colorado, Texas, Utah, New York, Tennessee, Arizona, and Minnesota will enjoy the same benefits as other racers supported by Trek's retailer-sponsored athlete program. The support of Trek will help make racing more accessible to the young athletes looking to take up the sport through NICA's racing series and development programs.
"Supporting NICA is supporting the future of US mountain biking and we're excited to be part of ensuring young athletes can not only participate, but do so on the best equipment available," said Trek Director of Advocacy Brandon Buth.
In addition to its financial support for the growing program, Trek has chosen a selection of their most popular mountain bikes to offer to NICA student-athletes at prices that are more attainable on high school budgets. The program grew from a California-based series to a nine-state league in four short years, highlighting the fast-growing demand for quality high school mountain biking. Each state league is both a development program for future superstars of US cycling, and a gateway to providing America's youth with a lifelong healthy habit. Helping its riders have a place to ride, as well as a bike to do it on are two of the keys to growing a sustainable sport in the United States.
Trek's contributions to the program helped NICA serve nearly 300 high schools, 763 licensed coaches and provided programming for nearly 2,500 student-athletes eager to break into the sport during 2012. With an expected 2013 growth rate of 20-30%, NICA's future looks bright.
"With a long-history in the cycling world, Trek is always pushing the industry forward both with innovative products and designs but also in the advocacy realm," said NICA Executive director Austin McInerny. "From within the race peloton to the halls of Congress, the Trek name is synonymous with quality, integrity and leadership. Trek has been supportive of the high school cycling movement from the beginning and we are honored to continue and expand our collaboration with them to grow youth cycling across the United States."
