Seventeen year-old Euquarian Garner is behind bars after sexually assaulting a teenage girl and robbing her along with two other young girls.
The alleged sexual assault happened on June 20 at an abandoned house in the 3100 block of Bilgray Drive in south Jackson.
Hinds County Sheriff Malcolm McMillin says Garner forced the girl into the house and sodomized her at gunpoint.
Prior to the assault, Garner approached the girl and two other teens outside the house. He robbed the girls of their cell phones and money.
Sheriff McMillian says other victims may be out there. "We think there possibly are other victims who haven't come forward who may have told somebody and they weren't believed, so what we do is appeal to anybody who had a situation similar to this."
Garner is charged with one count of kidnapping, one count of sexual assault and three counts of armed robbery. He's also the suspect in other crimes.

These three guys were enjoying themselves under the warm sun in Italy, with all of their shirts off to soak up some rays. But the calmness of them just sitting around soon gave way to horniness, and all of a sudden, all three guys were kissing and licking each other in their backyard! They stripped completely naked and started sucking on each other's thick dicks while massaging their assholes to get them ready for a deep dicking. While one guy was getting bent over and fucked, the other guy was rubbing their balls and making sure it was going all the way in. They all need a shower now, because they shot so much cum all over each other!

|Carl DeMaio for Congress
Carl DeMaio (born September 14, 1974 in Dubuque, Iowa) is a Republican politician living in San Diego, California. He served one term as a member of the San Diego City Council, representing District 5 from 2008 to 2012.
DeMaio ran for Mayor of San Diego in 2012, losing to then-Congressman Bob Filner, 47.5% to 52.5%.[1]
In May 2013, DeMaio announced his candidacy for California's 52nd congressional district, challenging incumbent Scott Peters. Under California's "top two" primary system, he will run against Peters in the November 2014 general election.
Life and business career[edit]
DeMaio was born in 1974 in Dubuque, Iowa to a pair of teachers, Carl Joseph DeMaio and Diane M. DeMaio (née Elgin). His family moved to Orange County, California in the late 1970s. He attended St. Catherine's Military Academy, a Catholic school in Anaheim, through eighth grade; in 1989 he got a scholarship to Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland.[2] His mother died in 1990; his father is estranged.[3] He graduated from Georgetown Prep in 1993, then attended Georgetown University, where he received a degree in International Politics and Business.[4]
While attending college, DeMaio worked as a political intern in Washington, D. C., then worked for the Congressional Institute,[3] serving as the Institute's Director of Planning.[4] He worked in Washington from 1994 to 1999. After college, he established The Performance Institute,[3] a for-profit think tank that provided training for government officials, followed by the American Strategic Management Institute, which provided financial and management training to corporations.[5] He sold both companies to the Thompson Publishing Group in late 2007.[5]
DeMaio moved to San Diego in 2002.[6] That year he appeared in front of the San Diego City Council to present an award to the city for having the most efficient government in California. He later alleged this award was based on "false and misleading" financial data provided to him by the city.[4] In 2004, he claimed that San Diego's predicted budget deficit of $27 million was in fact closer to $80–$100 million.[3]
DeMaio is known for his advocacy of change in San Diego's budget process.[7] He has also lobbied for a federal law that would impose rules on public pension plans modeled after ERISA.[8]
Political career[edit]
San Diego City Council[edit]
DeMaio ran for the termed-out Brian Maienschein's District 5 San Diego City Council seat in the nonpartisan 2008 election.[9] At the time, District 5 included the neighborhoods of Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Mira Mesa, Sorrento Mesa,[10] Scripps Ranch, and San Pasqual Valley.[9]
He won the seat in the June primary election, defeating his opponent, former Solana Beach Fire Chief George K. George, with 66% of the vote.[11] DeMaio was the first openly gay man to be elected to the council,[12][13] and also the first Italian American elected to office in the city of San Diego since the 1930s.[14]
As a council member, DeMaio was vice chair of three committees: the Natural Resources and Culture Committee, the Budget and Finance Committee, and the Audit Committee.[15]
While a member of the City Council, DeMaio released a number of studies and proposals on city employee compensation packages and pension benefits, arguing that salaries and benefits of city employees should be reduced to levels consistent with the local labor market. He also opposed a proposal to build a new San Diego central library, saying the city could not afford it.[16]
DeMaio also proposed a Sunshine Act,[17] which passed the City Council with unanimous support. The ordinance imposed new disclosure and transparency reforms on city government.[18]
Pension Reform Initiative[edit]
DeMaio was the primary author of San Diego's June 2012 Proposition B, entitled "Amendments to the San Diego City Charter Affecting Retirement Benefits," and he led the drive to put it on the ballot.[19][20] Proposition B proposed (1) limiting of compensation used to calculate city employee pension benefits; (2) eliminating defined-benefit pensions for many new city employees, substituting a defined-contribution (401(k)-style) plan; (3) requiring substantially equal pension contributions from the City and employees; and (4) eliminating the right of employees/retirees to vote to change their benefits.[21] Proposition B was approved by San Diego voters by a 2-to-1 margin on June 5, 2012.[22]
DeMaio continues to push pension reform at the state and federal levels.[23][24]
Other ballot initiatives[edit]
In 2010, DeMaio supported the addition of a citizen initiative to the November ballot that would have made it easier for the city to outsource jobs. The initiative, called "Competition and Transparency in City Contracts", would require the city to seek competitive bids for some services and allow the city to outsource without the involvement of unions. However, the measure was rejected by the county registrar of voters after a random sample concluded that DeMaio had not gathered enough valid signatures.[25] After the ballot measure was rejected, San Diego CityBeat reported that a committee called "Reforming City Hall with Carl DeMaio" had paid $16,000 to Hale Media Inc., a company owned by DeMaio's boyfriend, for signature gathering. When CityBeat contacted Johnathan Hale, he said he hadn't done any paid work for the campaign, but had only volunteered and taken photos. A campaign spokesperson said the money was reimbursement to Hale Media for paying the interns who were collecting signatures.[26]
DeMaio also campaigned against a proposal to boost the city's sales tax by a half-a-billion dollars over five years. He argued instead to reduce the budget deficit through spending cuts and pension reform.[27][28]
Campaign for Mayor[edit]
In 2011, DeMaio filed papers declaring his intention to run for Mayor of San Diego in 2012, when mayor Jerry Sanders would be retiring due to term limits.[29] In June 2011, he formally declared his candidacy.[30] He was endorsed by the San Diego County Republican Party in March 2012.[31] In the June 5 primary he placed first with 31.42% of the vote and advanced to a runoff election against U.S. Representative Bob Filner in November.[32]
The U-T San Diego published a front-page editorials endorsing DeMaio before the June 2012 primary.[33] The Voice of San Diego described the editorials as unprecedented: "Actually, they weren't even on the front page — the editorials were wrapped around the page as though they were even more important." [34]
On 25 September 2012, Sanders endorsed DeMaio to be his successor. At the time of the endorsement, a 10News and SurveyUSA poll of voters gave Filner a twelve point lead over DeMaio.[35]
On election day, DeMaio lost to Filner, 52.5% to 47.5%.[1]
Campaign for Congress 2014[edit]
On May 30, 2013, DeMaio announced his intention to run for Congress in 2014 against incumbent Scott Peters.[36] He is one of three openly gay Republican candidates for Congress in the 2014 elections. In February 2014, DeMaio became the first Congressional candidate to feature his same-sex partner in a campaign ad.[37][38]
In September 2013, he considered running for Mayor of San Diego in a November 2013 special election, called because of Filner's resignation, but decided to stay in the race for Congress.[39]
In the June 2014 primary, he came in second to Peters with 36% of the vote, ensuring DeMaio a place on the ballot in the November 2014 general election.[40]

Day Ten - WDW Adventure, September 28th, 2013
... We headed back to Magic Kingdom to scope out a good spot to watch the fireworks. We decided it'd be neat to watch them from the train platform. So did everyone else. We watched the Celebrate the Magic show which is the beautiful projections on Cinderella castle. Then the electric lights parade. Gag! We both hate the song from that parade so much that we were miming different suicide methods to the horrible tune that plays nonstop for thirty minutes. ...
Day 5 - Hollywood Studios
On Wednesday we went to Hollywood Studios after going shopping, the first thing I could see when driving towards the park was the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, I was really excited about going on this ride.
The queues were really long so we got a fastpass ticket for the Tower of Terror, and went onto the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster in the meantime. Luckily ...
Home (from home)
So, we survived the flight, and quite contrary to our expectations Tyler was an absolute pleasure to spend nine hours on a plane with. The flight itself was good and actually seemed to go rather quickly. It always amuses me that people feel the need to break into a spontaneous round of applause when the plane reaches it's destination, nobody does that when the 71 bus gets to Kingston. The Hilton Bonnet Creek looks lovely, although that assessment was made through ...
Disney Overload
... tell you confidently that Walt Disney World is not set up for walking, but I managed it anyway. It took about 2 hours. The footpaths (or sidewalks as they would call them here) are not very extensive. They just cover each precinct. So I had to be a bit creative when it came to choosing a place to walk. There was a worn track in the grass in places, so it looks like a few others do the same thing from time to time. It also struck ...
Day 9: Gatorland and Downtown Disney
Today was the big day for the Screaming Gator Zipline. What a cool place! Before the boys went on their Zipline excursion we watched the gators eat and jump for some chicken, although it was still fairly cold for them so they weren't to active. We bought some hotdogs to feed to the younger gators and they were great to watch, they were pretty feisty compared to the older ones. So the kids loved feeding them. Tracy and Mathew went on a hour and a ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Ramada Kissimmee Maingate West
Nice vacation nice price
We stayed here for three day about two weeks ago. I was very pleased with resort over all. The staff is very nice. We had a blast with John the bartender. They even have a mini Pizza Hut right there. The pizza was great . Rooms are very nice for the price. I will stay here again next year.
Enjoyed the vacation.
It was a nice place but there was somethings that could be changed. They could moved the restaraunt away from the pool area. You don't want to smell or see anyone in the pool while you are trying to eat. And, for as the karocko goes that needs to in a place of it's own. No one wants to hear that while they are trying to sleep. They just need to move all of those things in a place of it's own. Expand the place and it will be a nice place to visit. In my room there was a lamp that had some electrical tape on it and thats dangerous for children to be around.
This place really is a dump
I went through 6 rooms to find one whose smell i could tolerate. The place reeks of mold, mildew, chlorine, or some other smell. (There were two others trying to change rooms the same time I was.) Outside secruity is a joke
The Price Was Right!!
The inside pool area was incredible along with the hottub. There was a Pizza Hut Express on the pool deck and Karaoke singing from 9-11 P.M.. The outside pool was huge but we were not able to use it because the weather was a bit cool. The rooms are typical of any hotel; well maintained and very clean. Staff and housekeeping were courteous.
I have 2 teens and both of them really enjoyed the facilities. My wife & I would definitely return here again.
AmeriHost Great Fun
I've been to the AmeriHost for the last seven years. I'd say there have been some great improvements to their look and staff. Rockin Robin is great entertainment for the whole family. I know that there are certain families and groups that visit on a yearly basis that ask if she is still their because they look forward to the entertainemnt she provides. As far as the locals go I understand that you have a right to the entertainment but really this is a resort and people are on Vacation give them a chance in they're short stay to be the first to sing, you have all year.
Is a good Deal andd Very Close to Disney
My husband and I stayed there about 2 weeks ago and we are staying there this saturday with my parents. It's a good deal and even though it's not brand new most of the hotels in that area aren't.(Unless you want to stay far away from the parks.) They were curtious and polite. But if you do have a room on the inside facing the indoor pool you'll have to listen to Kareoke until about 10pm. But that was pretty funny anyway. And who goes to bed earlier in Orlando anyway. I geuss the people who gave bad comments are used to shelling out big bucks for five star hotels. Anyway it's nice and I had fun.
My Kids and I Love It Here
After seeing the bad reviews given this hotel, I feel compelled to rebut.
I come to Orlando every year and we stayed in many other similar priced Hotels until we found the Amerihost (formerly Diplomat). The people are some of the most helpful I've had the pleasure to meet. The Indoor pool is always the right temperature and unlike the other review, I've never found it to have too much Chlorine. The outdoor pool is gorgeous and the sand beach is a nice touch.
The Karaoke is lots of fun. The bar is cool. There are activities for the kids, my Son Loves the game room.
And it is wicked close to the Disney Parks. What more do you want?
Amerihoax!! This place is a dump.
Where is the place pictured on the pamplet we got?? The Amerihost looked more like a run down Motel Six. The pools were always overcrowded and we ate at the "resort's" restaraunt which I definitely would not recommend. The Buffet was 10.95 a person and advertised prime rib, fried chicken and fresh ham. I could not find prime rib on the buffet, the only beef product even on the buffet was what appeared to be a burnt hamburger soaking in hot dog juice. What a joke!! There was not hardly anything on it, the dessert advertised turned out to be chocolate and vanilla pudding.
The staff at the "resort"was rude and acted like our visit was an inconvenience. We talked to two other families in town that switched motels after their arrival. We should have done the same. We will never go back and will reccomend that none of our friends waste there time or money at this "resort." I also whould like to know what it takes to be classified as a resort, I am just surprised this dump does not have hourly rates.
We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. The water dripped, when we asked to have it fixed..
1. it was still dripping, although they evidently came to
the room( mind you we have a water shortage). 2. the 2nd time they came we had NO water they turned it off totally. they got it right the 3rd time!!
We ate in the restaurant. We had 3 children and 2 adults. The first night it cost us ( it was all you can eat) $31.89 the waitress added her tip to the total, charged extra for drinks,etc . The 2nd night (all you can eat) our bill
came to $22.40 ( go figure). It seems the waitress' and waiters charge their OWN prices!!
Not a happy camper
We stay at the Diplomat on 6/16-17/02. After calling a few weeks ahead of time and requesting a room close to the elevators, due to a disability, we had a very long walk to the elevators. The room smelled of mold. The pool had way too much clorine. The karoke prevented any sleeping before 11:00 pm in the inside rooms. Also there is too much space between staircases in my opinion, in case of a fire.
We will not stay here again.

After 22 days and several dozen witnesses, a landmark trial on whether schoolchildren should be informed about "intelligent design" (ID) as an alternative to evolutionary theory wrapped up last week in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Judge John E. Jones III said he would deliver his opinion on Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District by early January.
The plaintiffs in the case, 11 Dover parents, claimed that ID is the same as creationism and thus to teach it would be unconstitutional. The defendants argued that ID is science and that its inclusion would enhance students' "critical thinking" (ScienceNOW, 27 September).
The stakes are high for evolutionary theory. If the school board wins, says Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) in Oakland, California, "we can anticipate a flood of religiously conservative school board members around the country requiring the teaching of ID," as well as stepped-up efforts in state legislatures to pass laws sympathetic to ID. If the parents win, she says, the judge might issue a narrow ruling that does not take a stand on ID but merely states that the school board had religious motives in fostering its policy. NCSE is hoping for a stronger decision that knocks down ID as just another form of creationism, which was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1987. Such a ruling "would be a severe political and psychological blow to the ID movement," says Scott.
But defenders of ID, represented by the Christian-oriented Thomas More Law Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, have taken the stance that the trial was over a trivial issue--a "modest change" in the curriculum, defense lawyer Patrick Gillen called it. "To some degree this court thing is a sideshow," says John West of the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington. "Science is not determined by court order." The Discovery Institute supports scholarship on ID but declined to take part in the trial because it didn't think the case was winnable.
ID proponent Paul Nelson, a philosopher at the University of Chicago in Illinois, agrees that the outcome of the trial is moot. "It doesn't really matter what happens in Kitzmiller v. Dover because the intelligent design debate is here to stay," he said at a recent forum on the topic. Polls bear that out: Over the past 2 decades, they have consistently shown that at least 40% of the population doesn't buy the conventional scientific account of human evolution.
Both sides are prepared to appeal the ruling, and the Thomas More Law Center has said it is ready to defend the case up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Brian Culkin
in Comedy
Brian continues his discussion about his new film "24 to Heaven"; the story of South Boston, Massachusetss champion boxing family, the Attardo's.
With precision accuracy and laser-like insight, Brian's analysis of all the components of urban ethnic and factory life paints a gripping story of boxing's rise and fall in post-war Boston. His academic background as historian, scholar and athlete provide the essential tools necesary to make dialectical connections between semingly extraneous variables to synthesize a compelling argument as to nobility of boxing not only as sport but, in addition, as art and spiritual practice, and the reasons for its growth and development as well as its demise and fall.
By focusing his attention to a particular family in a strong ethnic neighborhood over two decades, he is able to highlight the individuals, the sport itself, and the concomitant effects it had on all inhabiting an urban society during the post-war period.
Boxing, itself, becomes a character in an almost Shakespearean tragedy along with its other main characters, the athletes within the Attardo family, itself.
Join Brian as he provides the backdrop to the film, as well as his motivation and purpose in choosing this subject.

Brian Culkin and, "24 to Heaven"
in Comedy
24 to Heaven is a feature documentary currently in production written and directed by Brian Culkin that examines post industrial America, the social and spiritual theatre of boxing, and the Attardo family of Boston, MA.
"The interior life is essential to the boxer. Sociologist Loic Waquant referred to the 'erasure of any distinction between the physical and spiritual' through its practice. Manifesting through the intensity of corporeal and mental training, the solitude of roadwork, and surrendering to the biological processes of instinct and flow, the pugilist merges his mind-body complex into an instrument of kinetic force. Known for their ascetic rituals, the champion boxer must 'let go of the world' through diet, a moderated training regimen, and above all, mental and physical clarity. However, the lifestyle of the boxer, infused with spiritual like rituals that required a certain level of social and cultural stability, became nearly impossible to maintain in the chaotic social infrastructure of South Boston throughout the 1970's and 1980's; the same period of the Attardo brothers rise.

"Jason Porter could find a place on the shelf beside Richard Brautigan, George Saunders, and David Sedaris. This is a quick, odd, wonderful book, one that pinned me back on my heels and made me laugh."
Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin
Have we all sunken into a species-wide bout of clinical depression?
Porter's uproarious, intelligent debut centers on Raymond Champs, an illustrator of assembly manuals for a home furnishings corporation, who is charged with a huge task: To determine whether or not the world needs saving. It comes to him in the midst of a losing battle with insomnia everybody he knows, and maybe everybody on the planet, is suffering from severe clinical depression. He's nearly certain something has gone wrong. A virus perhaps. It's in the water, or it's in the mosquitoes, or maybe in the ranch flavored snack foods. And what if we are all too sad and dispirited to do anything about it? Obsessed as he becomes, Raymond composes an anonymous survey to submit to his unsuspecting coworkers Are you who you want to be?", Do you believe in life after death?", Is today better than yesterday?" because what Raymond needs is data. He needs to know if it can be proven. It's a big responsibility. People might not believe him. People, like his wife and his boss, might think he is losing his mind. But only because they are also losing their minds. Or are they?
Reminiscent of Gary Shteyngart, George Saunders, Douglas Coupland and Jennifer Egan, Porter's debut is an acutely perceptive and sharply funny meditation on what makes people tick.
About the Author
Jason Porter was born and raised in southeastern Michigan. He is, or has been, an English teacher, customer support representative, landlord, traveling musician, and the overnight editor for Yahoo! News and The New York Times. Currently, he writes fiction. Why Are You So Sad? is his first novel.
Praise for Why Are You So Sad?…
"Jason Porter could find a place on the shelf beside Richard Brautigan, George Saunders, and David Sedaris. This is a quick, odd, wonderful book, one that pinned me back on my heels and made me laugh."
—Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin and TransAtlantic
"Like a well-stocked IKEA, Why Are You So Sad has everything you need for your home and your heart. Jason Porter has written an astute, intelligent and hilarious book."
—Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story
"A terrific and moving new voice. If you haven't yet made your peace with the bleaker inevitabilities of life, Jason Porter's fearless debut will get you there, one howl of laughter at a time."
–Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife
"Why Are You So Sad: Why are you so funny, so wry, so true, so compelling? Jason Porter's lovely book is perfect and wondrous, a masterfully crafted story of modernity. I ate it whole."
—Jennifer Traig, author of memoirs Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood, and Well Enough Alone: A Cultural History of My Hypochondria
"Why Are You So Sad? is wry, sardonic, very smart, and hilariously critical of the futility and general mediocrity of Life in America as we know it."
—Patrick McGrath, author of Asylum and Constance
"Existential despair has never been so funny. Why Are You So Sad is a great American comedy, perfectly tuned to this ridiculous age. Jason Porter is a Kafka with better jokes."
—Larry Doyle, author of I Love You, Beth Cooper
Why Are You So Sad? is a precisely calibrated comedy pitched halfway between a laugh and a sob. Beautifully written, philosophically unsound, and funny."
—Sara Levine, author of Treasure Island!!!
"Porter starts with a loaded question and takes aim at our compromises and deferred dreams, at our unquestioned normalcy—and he hits us where we live. But this is Camus crossed with Stanley Elkin, a brilliant book that's as funny as it is wise."
—Jeffrey Rotter, author of The Unknown Knowns
"The book toggles deftly between its narrator's bummer of a worldview and his riotous, biting snark, peppered throughout with dashes of surprisingly transcendent philosophies. Porter's is a smart, compact debut that resonates on both tragic and comic levels."
—Publishers Weekly
"Have trouble waiting for the next George Saunders book? Here's your life raft...Why Are You So Sad? reads like a work of humor, and testimony. In fact, it bravely shows how these two impulses can collide, and form a satisfying kind of solace."
—John Freeman, The Toronto Star
"Porter's humorous insight into the human condition is a highbrow/lowbrow tightrope walk between philosophical quandary and human desire. And this novel may very well get you to reflect on your own happiness, your own choices. Perhaps you may end up taking Raymond's survey, asking yourself, why am I so sad?"
—Alex Gilvarry, NPR Books
"Jason Porter's debut novel, Why Are You So Sad?, is the latest example of a literary sub-genre in which the petty foibles and mindless tedium of office life are served up for punchlines and mordant parody."
—The Washington Post
"Raymond Champ's meandrous introspections evolve from the dark humor established by Kurt Vonnegut's confessional asides, Chuck Palahniuk's anti-establishment riots, and the observational humor of David Sedaris. Jason Porter and his debut novel join a community of stories balancing unconventional style with conventional human loneliness."
—The Brooklyn Rail

Three of the world's most gifted filmmakers offer their own unique perspectives on love and lust in this omnibus film. The initial episode, "The Hand," was directed by [[Performer~P194627~Wong Kar-Wai~wongkarwai]], and tells the story of Zhang ([[Performer~P12652~Chang Chen~changchen]]), a young, virginal dressmaker's assistant who finds it difficult to control his desire when he is sent to the home of Hua ([[Performer~P42289~Gong Li~gongli]]), a beautiful and refined prostitute, for a fitting. [[Performer~P112040~Steven Soderbergh~stevensoderbergh]] directed the film's second story, "Equilibrium," in which Nick Penrose ([[Performer~P19966~Robert Downey Jr.~robertdowneyjr]]) spends a session with his analyst ([[Performer~P79913~Alan Arkin~alanarkin]]) discussing a recurring dream of a beautiful naked woman in his apartment, but he keeps wandering off on tangents about alarm clocks and hair loss. Finally, Italian virtuoso [[Performer~P79780~Michelangelo Antonioni~michelangeloantonioni]] brings his short story The Dangerous Thread of Things to the screen, a story of a jaded couple, Christopher ([[Performer~P369299~Christopher Buchholz~christopherbuchholz]]) and Chloë ([[Performer~P369300~Regina Nemni~reginanemni]]), whose relationship comes to a crossroads when both husband and wife become infatuated with the same woman, Linda ([[Performer~P303722~Luisa Ranieri~luisaranieri]]). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Apple Debuts New 'Your Verse' iPad Adverts
Earlier today Apple posted two more iPad ads as part of their ongoing 'Your Verse' series. These latest two ads feature Detroit community activist Jason Hall and the Beijing-based electropop musicians of Yaoband. The 'Your Verse' series of ads tell stories about how different people use their iPad in their own unique ways, not only through a 30-second ad, but also through dedicated webpages that tell their stories in more detail.
Part of the 'Your Verse' webpages are dedicated to highlighting the apps used frequently by those featured in the ad. For Jason Hall that includes Prezi, Penultimate and Phoster.
It began simply enough. Just 10 friends on a Monday night ride. Soon it was 20. Then 30. In its second year, the ride grew from 130 to 300 cyclists in two weeks. As the numbers increased, Hall turned to his iPad and made it the command center for all things Slow Roll. "We use it for everything we do, from mapping to communicating to ordering new T-shirts," he says.
For Yaoband they use iMaschine to capture various sounds that they use in their performances, whilst also using iMusic Studio and iMPC.
Inspired by the pulse of life in modern China, they started by capturing audio samples with iPad and turning them into progressive beats. Nothing was sacred as they flowed in and out of musical genres, mixing electronica with rock, rap, and traditional Chinese songs. "We were just like scientists in a lab, trying many formulas," says Peter. "Every single song was a surprise, because it was always better than I imagined."
You can view the full ads below, or view them on the 'Your Verse' pages for Yaoband and Jason Hall.
Apple Claims to Support 629,000 European Jobs, European Developers Take 32.5% of App Store Revenues
As first noticed by 9to5 Mac, Apple has published a webpage dedicated to promoting the impact that they have had in creating or supporting 629,000 jobs in Europe (defined as EU member countries plus Norway and Switzerland). They break the numbers down a bit more, attributing 497,000 to the App Store, 132,000 to jobs directly or indirectly supported by Apple, 116,000 jobs created at other companies as a result of Apple's growth, and 16,000 Apple employees.
Throughout our history, we have created entirely new products - and entirely new industries - by focusing on innovation. This has resulted in nearly 630,000 European jobs at Apple and at developers and businesses supported by Apple. In addition, the App Store has created hundreds of thousands of jobs that previously did not exist in the European economy, enabling developers to launch new companies and earn $6.5 billion from App Store sales worldwide.
Interestingly, they reveal that $6.5 billion in App Store revenues has been paid to European developers, given that $20 billion has been paid to developers in total, this means the share of App Store revenue taken by European developers is 32.5%. Apple has previously revealed US developers have received $9 billion, but that figure hasn't been updated since late last year, so can't be used to calculate an accurate share of revenues taken by US developers.
Share of App Store Revenues
Europe (32.5%) - Rest of World (67.5%)

MindNode 3.2 with Image Support
MindNode, my favorite app to outline ideas visually on both iOS and OS X, was updated last week with a notable addition: embedded images.
I use MindNode to flesh out ideas and thoughts that help me find connections and relationships through the use of colors, branches, and formatting of text. Typically, large reviews, roundups, and articles for this site start as a plain text list in Evernote, but before writing in Editorial, I transform that list into a map in MindNode to get a better visual understanding of the topic(s) I want to cover. Images were an obvious candidate for mindmaps, and while other apps already supported them, I wanted to be able to insert images in maps with the simplicity of MindNode's interface and iCloud storage.
Fantastical 2.1
Released last week, Fantastical 2.1 is a pretty big update to my favorite calendar app for iPhone and iPad that brought the usual variety of fixes and improvements, snooze options for notifications (which I don't use, as I rely on native iCloud alerts), and other enhancements such as upcoming birthday and new event invitation notifications. Being on vacation prevented me from preparing a review in time for the update's release (it turns out, this is not an ideal spot for good 3G coverage), but I still wanted to focus on three additions to Fantastical that I'm particularly fond of.
Yep, Apple's 'Stickers' Ad Gave MacBook Sticker Sellers a Huge Boost
When Apple published their new 'Stickers' ad for the MacBook Air last week, I presumed it would be a boon for sellers of MacBook stickers and decals. So earlier this week I decided to reach out to a few sellers of MacBook stickers and decals to see what kind of impact the ad from Apple has had on their store visits and sales.
Now this was not an in-depth investigation and the result is probably what you would have guessed: visits and sales rose dramatically last week when Apple's ad was released. It was the universal reaction I got from the sellers I talked to.
One of the sellers that was willing to give me more detailed information was Benjamin Clark from The Decal Guru. They saw a quadrupling of orders for MacBook decals since the airing of Apple's ad. In terms of unique visitors they saw an increase from a steady 500 per day (prior to the ad) to 4,500 at its highest last week.
Apple Refreshes Retina MacBook Pro With Faster Processor, Doubled RAM on Two Models
Apple this morning refreshed their MacBook Pro with Retina display models with the latest generation of Intel's Haswell processors. All things considered, it's a minor update with each of the five base models receiving a 0.2GHz processor speed bump. All that means is the base model goes from 2.4GHz to 2.6GHz, whilst the most powerful preconfigured model goes from 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz. The other notable hardware change is the doubling of RAM for the base model 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro (from 4GB to 8GB) and base model 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro (from 8GB to 16GB). Finally, the 15-inch 2.5GHz model gets a price drop of $100, now selling for US$2,499.
"People love their MacBook Pro because of the thin and light, aluminum unibody design, beautiful Retina display, all day battery life and deep integration with OS X," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "The MacBook Pro with Retina display gets even better with faster processors, more memory, more affordable configurations and a free upgrade to OS X Yosemite this fall."
Also worth noting is that Apple today also dropped the price of the MacBook Pro (without the Retina display) by $100, so it now sells for $1,099. For those of you considering purchasing one of the new MacBook Pros, and live in the northern hemisphere, keep in mind that Apple's Back to School promotion is currently running. So if you purchase one of these new Retina MacBook Pros (or any other Mac) before September 9 you'll get a $100 Apple Store card.

FiftyThree Releases SDK for Their Pencil Stylus
FiftyThree, the company behind the popular 'Paper' sketching app, have today released an SDK for their 'Pencil' stylus which is now available internationally. The SDK incorporates advanced features enabled by the Pencil that were previously limited to FiftyThree's own Paper app. In preparation for today's release, FiftyThree has worked with the developers of Procreate, Noteshelf, and Squiggle which will offer full support for the FiftyThree SDK.
With the FiftyThree SDK, developers worldwide can now tap into Pencil's industryleading technologies and find support from a team that values true partnerships. Developers are already discovering new ways of using Pencil to bring the power of natural creativity to their apps, from professional drawing to making music, starting with our partners Procreate, Noteshelf, and Squiggle.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Short but good route on the Worlds Greatest Boulder. Starts on a sidepull and strong moves up to the obvious line running up right. Move along the good holds to get to the crux. Move off the good holds to a solid vertical slot with your left. Pull hard into this to a small sloping dish with a good thumb-catch with your right and set high feet. Pull off the dish up left to a sloping topout scramble.
The boulder is located at the edge of the water after taking a right out of the main canyon and walking 300-400 feet down river. The route is on the canyon side of the boulder.
This route can be either toproped or lead. The lead is a bit scary with only 2 bolts and a groundfall from the clip at the second bolt. Good toprope anchors but be sure to have a few feet of slings to get the over the edge.

Jets offer refund or credit to season ticket holders in event of cancelled games
WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets have laid out their options for their 13,000 season tickets if games are cancelled during the NHL's lockout.
True North Sports and Entertainment sent a note to all its subscribers today offering them either a refund for all pre-season and regular-season games cancelled, or the option to keep their already made payments on account as a credit for use against future games.
True North is giving its subscribers until Friday to choose one of the options, otherwise it will assume that the choice will be for a credit on account. Fans who want a refund of their money will have to choose that option specifically.
Here's the text of today's letter:
Re: NHL Work Stoppage
As you may now be aware, the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association were unable to successfully conclude negotiations for a successor Collective Bargaining Agreement to their current Agreement, which expired at 11:59pm on Saturday, September 15th, 2012. Accordingly, a work stoppage has commenced which is expected to delay the opening of training camp and may cause games to be cancelled. We do not yet know how many games, if any, may be cancelled or for how long the work stoppage will occur. It has and continues to be the League's objective to successfully conclude negotiations for a new Agreement.
In our most recent correspondence with you, we indicated that we would immediately advise you as to what our contingency plans would be with respect to the payments we have received from you pursuant to your Ticket Purchase Agreement.
Please be assured that you will receive full credit for your season ticket payment on account with us for any and all games cancelled. To that end, the Winnipeg Jets have established the following policies with respect to cancelled games, account credits and/or refunds of season ticket payments:
- The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club will provide a full account credit or refund to you, as Primary Account Holder, for any cancelled pre-season and/or regular season games during the 2012-2013 season.
- As a Winnipeg Jets Season Ticket Holder, in good standing and who has paid in full, you will have the following two options:
Retain your season ticket payment with the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club and credit for cancelled games will be applied to your account.
By selecting Option A you will receive the credit equivalent to simple interest calculated at an annual rate of 3.0%, based on the full amount paid from the point at which the Winnipeg Jets first pre-season game is cancelled on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 to the date on which Winnipeg Jets hockey resumes at the MTS Centre for the 2012-2013 season.
A credit equivalent to simple interest will continue to be calculated at an annual rate of 3.0% from the date Winnipeg Jets regular season play resumes for the 2012-2013 season to the date your 2012-2013 playoff invoice is due or your first or second installment payment is due for the 2013-2014 season. This calculation will be based on the balance of funds held in your account which represents the cash equivalent value of the number of games cancelled, as a result of the work stoppage.
The total value of games cancelled in the 2012-2013 season, plus the interest equivalent credit as described herein, will be applied to your account to be used as a set-off against your 2012-2013 playoff invoice or the first or second installment payment due for your 2013-2014 season tickets; or, alternatively,
Request a refund of your season ticket payment for cancelled games using the same method of payment as your initial payment.
By selecting Option B you will earn simple interest calculated at an annual rate of 1.0% on your account balance from the date on which the first pre-season game is cancelled on Tuesday, September 25, 2012.
Refunds for games cancelled, commencing with the month ending September 30th, 2012, will be issued to you, along with interest earned, within 10 business days of the last day of each succeeding month and will be based upon the number of games cancelled in the prior month.
You will continue to earn interest on your account balance until such time as Winnipeg Jets hockey resumes at the MTS Centre for the 2012-2013 season.
In order to select the option most suitable to you, please click on the link and select either Option A or Option B by Friday, September 21st, 2012 at 5:00pm. If you have not selected an option by that date, we will assume you have agreed to select Option A.
Account updates will be available on your "My Jets Account" monthly, commencing October 31st, 2012.
In all cases please note that games may only officially be cancelled by the NHL. It is possible that games may be rescheduled by the NHL for a future date; rescheduled games are not considered to be cancelled games for the purpose of calculating credits or interest. We will continue to keep you informed should any schedule changes like this occur.
Thank you for your continued patience and support. Irrespective of the timing of the resolution of the collective bargaining negotiations we are busy making preparations for another exciting season of Winnipeg Jets Hockey at the MTS Centre. We will continue to make investments throughout the year in the MTS Centre with the addition of new washrooms, concession improvements on the 100 and 300 concourses as well as further refinements to our digital properties, all with the desire of continuously improving your fan experience at the MTS Centre.
Please also visit our website at www.winnipegjets.com/nhlworkstoppage where we have prepared and posted an FAQ summary for your reference. Again, it is the hope of all involved that agreement on the terms of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement will be reached in the near future.
Updated on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 4:56 PM CDT: Corrects spelling of cancelled
