I am a first time customer of Gobreck.com and just wanted to let you know what a great experience we had with Megan helping us book the trip. I knew nothing about Colorado before booking this trip but Meg made everything as simple as any logical person could ask for while finding us great deals from lift tickets to renting our car for transportation. Additionally, she did a wonderful job keeping us up to date when any changes were made to our itinerary as well as providing all the necessary information we needed to have the trip go off without a hitch, which it most certainly did. For example, we had a party of 7 people and while booking the rental car and accommodations was relatively straightforward, each person wanted to pay for their lift tickets separately. Meg took the responsibility off of my shoulders and dealt with each person separately to get this done. Each time someone's lift tickets were added to the itinerary I was updated with an email which made it very easy to keep track of who was on the ball. Part of my career involves working with support teams so I know what it's like to receive poor customer service. That being said, it is refreshing to come across people like Meg who are able to deliver the key to the success of the Breck Resort Chamber, customer satisfaction. All of us were so pleased with our experience/accommodations that we plan on booking the same trip next year. Thanks to all of you for providing an epic experience on our first trip to Colorado. We look forward to working with you in the future.

"Wanted to let you know how much I appreciate Aimee′s help. I′m from Florida and taking my son to Breckenridge for his 16th birthday. Never being there before, I spent a lot of time researching where to stay and what to do. I found your number on-line, Aimee answered right away was extremely helpful in guiding me to a place to stay and offering other options and ideas for my time there. I didn′t feel like I was being ′sold′ on where or what to do which was important. She was knowledgeable about the area and offered numerous times to go above and beyond to help. She′s been responsive, tried to accommodate my request, and been very helpful in setting up this trip with my son and me."
-Kyle, FL
"Caroline was an exceptional customer service representative. She anticipated my needs, was very courteous, and very knowledgeable. She is an absolute asset to your organization. I have already put her name and number in my contact list should I need to make reservations at Breckenridge in the future."
-Michele, Ann Arbor, MI
"Tom's knowledge of the accommodations, locations and overall town. His ability to listen to our needs and make a GREAT fit with accommodations. His fun attitude and desire to help make the overall trip successful. The fact that your rates (including airfare) were not higher than the internet."
-Marsha, Centennial, CO
"Holli is a great asset to your company. She works extremely hard to make sure we have the appropriate accommodations. We call her every time we go."
-Karen, San Augustine, TX
"Working with a live, knowledgeable agent. Keena was a great help to us on this trip. She was able to recommend properties based on our specific trip details, pointing us both to better accommodations at more reasonable prices, and away from locations which might not have worked for us. She also followed up with questions I had after the initial reservation was made. I have been very pleased with her support and service."
-Bryan, Sugarland, TX

The pilot departed on a VFR cross-country flight in the helicopter without obtaining a weather briefing, or filing a flight plan. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed along the route of flight. Minutes before the accident, a retired U.S. Army aviator observed the helicopter flying along an obscured ridgeline, with the helicopter's main rotors disappearing into the clouds. The helicopter came to rest on a mountain approximately 3,200 feet high, a few miles from where the witness observed the helicopter. The wreckage was on the northwest side of the mountain, on a slope of about 40 degrees, at an elevation of 2,610 feet. The initial impact point was two trees side-by-side, about 10 feet apart, and perpendicular to the wreckage path. Facing the direction of travel, the tree on the right showed a deep slash mark on the approach side of the tree, and a sharp, angular cut tree trunk remained from the tree on the left. A corresponding, angular cut tree trunk with the top branches attached rested below the tree on the left. Examination of the wreckage revealed no mechanical anomalies. The helicopter was not configured for instrument flight, and according to the Owner's Manual, instrument flight was prohibited.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Oprah does it again!
- Written by Myron Mays
You can say what you want about Oprah, but you gotta admit she is still the "Queen." She has been snagging some really great interviews here lately – 50 Cent, the Kardashians, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson and Usher. Anyone who seems to be in the news is subject to be a guest.
Her latest snag – Usher – appeared this past Sunday night. Of course, Usher has been in the news lately regarding the custody case pitting him and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster. Usher and Foster had been going at it for quite a while when tragedy struck.
Foster's 11-year-old son, Kyle, was injured in a jet-ski accident that left him brain dead and from which he died. Only weeks later, the custody case was back in court, where a judge awarded custody of Usher and Foster's two children to Usher, a decision that many did not see coming.
In the wake of the court ruling, Usher and his mother visited Oprah's "Next Chapter" to discuss the decision, the marriage and its demise. She even got Usher to discuss his fidelity during his marriage, why his mother did not attend the wedding, why primary custody was important to him and whether he makes love to his own music.
If you missed any of this interview, you can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/OWN.
'American Idol' update
Since I may have gone a little hard on "American Idol" a few weeks ago, I figured the least I could do is give you an update. Well, it looks like the verdict is in. Not only does Randy Jackson get to keep his seat on the "American Idol" judge's panel, he also gets a lot of new company. The number of judges will increase from three to four and will include country star Keith Urban and rapper-singer Nicki Minaj, along with Jackson and Mariah Carey. This season will be very interesting to say the least. I'm wondering who will emerge as the "new" Simon. I'm actually interested in seeing how they pull this whole thing off.

The present study deals with the wills of 40 ancestors of the author who died in Massachusetts before 1700, and for whom dates are available for the writing of a will and death. In a few cases, the time between the writing of a will and the date of probate or the estate inventory has been used since the date of death was not found. In 25 cases where both death date and inventory date were known, the average lapse of time between them was 26 days, and in 50 percent of the cases it was 14 days or less. The longest death to inventory time was 90 days. In Middlesex County, in the mid-17th century, the inventory was often taken soon after death and before the first court appearance. Present day probate courts take note!
This examination was provoked by a conversation with one of our more experienced genealogists, who responded to my suggestion that I was finding a lot of death-bed wills among my ancestors, with the statement that "oh, no, they wrote them well in advance." Another genealogist, however, guessed 95 percent were death-bed. Perhaps my ancestors were atypical. They were certainly for the most part humble people, but they did have property they wished to leave to specific heirs. They lived in various parts of Massachusetts including Essex and Old Norfolk counties, and Plymouth Colony.
The individual cases are presented in Table I, which shows for each man the year of death, days between the writing of the will and death, probate or inventory, and the net value of his estate. In Table II, the results are grouped by elapsed time classes.
In slightly more than half the cases, the time between writing a will and death was three months or less. This suggests that sick-bed wills were common, if they weren't death-bed wills. It seems clear that the 22 percent written within 14 days of death were death-bed wills, and that in cases with longer periods up to, say, three months the testators had received strong indications of their mortal nature. With intervals longer than three months, it is hard to argue between prudence and premonition, particularly in the absence of information as to the cause of death, whether acute or lingering.
It might be argued that the degree of prudence shown as measured by increased length of the will-to-death time would be related to the size of a man's estate, that is, the more he had to pass on, the more likely he would be to prepare for its disposition. A plot of will-to-death time vs. estate value was prepared, but is not presented here since it shows no such correlation between the two variables. At the extremes, the wealthiest man in the group, Joseph Jewett, had one of the shortest time lapses (nine days) and an estate worth more than 3000 pounds, and the four most prudent men with at least one year's preparation for death had estates averaging less than 500 pounds. The average estate for this sample was 430 pounds with a standard deviation of 595. If the two largest (Dodge and Jewett) are excluded because they skew the average, the average is 311, with a standard deviation of 236, showing a more normal ratio of standard deviation to average.
There are of course limitations which must be recognized in this preliminary analysis. The sample is small, was not randomly picked except to the extent that anyone's ancestors 8 to 10 generations back are something of a random group, and does not take into account how much of a man's goods and property had been disposed by gift and deed [126] prior to the will and inventory. Even with these caveats in mind, it can be fairly stated that a major proportion of these 17th century wills were written in morbidis, if not in extremis.
Has a more comprehensive study of this situation been undertaken? The author would be interested to hear of any such effort. The limited data presented here does not justify a more sophisticated analysis. Kenneth A. Lockridge (Literacy in Colonial New England [New York, 1974]), in a study of literacy based on whether several hundred testators signed their wills, states without details that "a third of the persons in this sample made their wills within three months of probate." Of particular interest, besides knowing if the high incidence of late wills was generally true in the 17th century, would be to find if this trend changed materially in the next hundred years, or not until the 19th and 20th centuries.

Luke Grimes to Star in Fifty Shades of Grey as Elliot: Good Choice?by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Luke Grimes has won the role of Elliot, Christian Grey's brother, in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, filling in another key piece of the casting puzzle.
The 29-year-old will join Jamie Dornan as his on-screen brother and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele in the film, which begins shooting next month.
Anastasia's roommate Kate Kavanagh, and Christian's mother and bodyguard, are among the supporting roles still open in the much-talked about project.
Kate and Elliot, of course, must have a certain chemistry themselves.
Elliot is described in the books as tall, muscular, and wide-shouldered with curly blonde hair and blue eyes. He is funny, affectionate, and laid-back.
He is the adopted, elder brother to Christian Grey and Mia Grey.
He is first introduced in Fifty Shades of Grey, when he accompanies his brother Christian to pick up a drunk Anastasia Steele at a bar in Portland.
There he meets Kate, who becomes his own romantic interest.
Think he's a good fit for the film, readers? Who would you like to see as Kate alongside Elliot? Share your comments on all things 50 Shades below.
I love all the comments that says "this guy looks nothing like Elliott in the book"...people, it's called a haircut, dye job and color contacts. Not too hard to transform yourself in Hollywood. Get a grip, it's a freaking movie. No one they cast for any of the characters will live up to everyone's expectations or standards in the book, that's why the book is fiction...as in, none of these characters exist!!
I agree with him playing the role! I wanna see who they are gonna cast to play Jose and Ms. Robinson!! I think a good lady to Patti Ms Robinson would be the lady on 2 broke girls and stifflers mom! She has the sex appeal and age!
This is absolutely my perfect guy.
I look like a good match for a
baby- faced beauty.
That's Weird because JOY
replies to NOBODY.
You know who would make a great elliot?! Kellan lutz!!!!
I agree, but the chance of that happening is gone, sadly! He even has that smart-ass personality! (Sigh!) Oh well....
Kellan Lutz would have been the PERFECT Elliot.he fits the discription to a T
Well Luke looks nothing like Elliot is described here in this article. Wtf?
None of the actors look the part of the characters it seems so guess we shouldn't be so surprised.
you need more ass kissers?
abe, are you volunteering?
I would suck him dry . Woooooooofffff! What a stud . I hope his chest is hairy
That's too hot, Abe.
I can just picture that.Yum.
Attention Christian Grey Lovers! If you loved fifty, then you will love Rip Me Apart. The Hero is so like Christian Grey! HERE IS AN EXCERPT: "Suddenly he's on his feet again and his hands are in my hair as he crushes his lips on mine. Wow. I can't breathe. I can't think. Blazing euphoria shoots from the top of my head to the tip of my toes as I melt into the kiss. The kiss is desperate, I don't know if it's my desperation or his. But it scares me; I've never been kissed this hungrily before. This man kissing me isn't the impassive, composed Gabriel I know. This one is a beast of a man, aggressively taking what he wants without asking. "I want you beneath me. I want you." He enunciates each word between wet possessive kisses as if he is laying his claim on me. Gabriel's tongue explores my mouth greedily, his lips covering mine. His fingers prowl my hair, my nape, my neck, then down to my bare shoulders. He kisses me as if he is a man dying of thirst, and I am water. He nibbles at my earlobe and chin, licking my cheeks, biting my neck. I'm falling, breathless, lost in pleasure I never imagined. Get your copy on Amazon. The Book is called Rip Me Apart.
Looks more like 50 shades of
Ok I'll bite, whose it by?
It's a group affort.308 writers.
Wtf he looks nothing like Elliot! Elliot is taller than Christian and a big guy too. He's masculine. He has blonde curly hair too. Luke is a good actor but he's certainly not like Elliot Grey! They haven't cast anyone according to the books yet! They're ruining this. Ugh.
It would taste like salty milk and get sticky in my butt. He said that I was his bar boyfriend and then made me finger my bum. Awhhw the good climax
There's already one 'abe' on
the tHG.Surely you have many
other names you can use.
Like A-hole.
Get lost .
Get a grip would ya! It's just a book.

The Inquisition, Conversos, and Early Capitalism in the Atlantic World: 1492-1700
Course Code: HIST 0710
« Return to the Course Catalog
This course explores the rise and fall of converso (Sephardic Jews forced to convert to Christianity) trading networks in the Atlantic world. In particular, we will focus on the converso communities in Spanish America, and consider how the institution of the Inquisition was used to control, and eventually to eradicate, this trading community. While the emphasis is on Spanish America, we will nonetheless also consider converso communities in other parts of the Americas as well. Additionally, we will consider the nature of capitalism, and debate the hypothesis that these converso trading networks were an early form of capitalism.

The Community Rating is the school's average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.
If you are looking for a caring, nurturing, educational and FUN environment for your child - look no further. As a parent the peace of mind and knowing that your child is not only learning early education and socialization as well as having FUN doing it, that was key for our family. Our son, attended here until he grew to graduate, and boy were we sad to say goodbye to the professional, caring and always loving staff at Mrs. Marleys. If this rating was 10 stars, they'd get a 20 in my book. Alas it's only 5 and Mrs. Marley's is well deserving of all 5 and more, so rest at ease knowing they are the best and a great environment for your child/children.
Wonderful place. Awesome teachers! Loved it. My kid loved it. Real experts in child care and development.

Police in Colorado say they will start meeting with the families of shooting victims to tell them the fate of their loved ones.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Coates says the last of the 10 deceased victims from the midnight showing of a Batman movie were removed from the theater Friday afternoon.
Coates says officers expect to get a confirmed list of the deceased and meet with their families Friday night.
In addition to the 10 people who died at the theater, two others later died from their injuries.
Coates says there are 70 victims but not all were shot. Eleven are in critical condition.
Among the injured are two Air Force airmen and a Navy sailor, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. One sailor who was at the theater early Friday morning cannot be located.
A Wisconsin native, Carey Rottman, 27, and his friend recovering after the shooting.
Rottman posted on his Facebook page from a hospital emergency room that he was "Shot in the leg at Batman." The Mequon native asked, "Where is he when you need him. Please pray for everyone here."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Rottman's friend was shot twice, but was recovering.
A 15-year-old Plymouth girl was in an adjacent theater when the gunman began shooting.
Katie Trakel was not hurt but tells The Sheboygan Press a stray bullet went through the wall and hit one of her friends in the arm.
Petra Anderson, who graduated from the University of the Pacific in May, was shot four times with pellets during the movie. One pellet entered her nose and traveled through her brain.
A Colorado native, Anderson graduated with a major in music composition. In 2010, she composed and directed a musical tribute to veterans at the university concert hall. The 22 year-old was headed to the University of Maryland to pursue a graduate degree.
Her boyfriend, Austin Hogan, said that while Anderson was responding to doctors, she had trouble recalling basic information about herself.

Maiden Voyage of Open-air Tram Trailer at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge
The first day of spring brings to mind daffodils and warm sea breezes along Coastal North Carolina. At Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, the first day of spring this year was the maiden voyage of the new refuge open-air tram trailer! we're sure this brand new addition to the refuge's Visitor Services Program, will add so much to the "refuge experience" for many refuge visitors.
We've equipped the tram with a speaker system, so everyone can hear the interpretive message along the way. The tours will usually begin at Creef Cut Wildlife Trail and follow along the Wildlife Drive, making one of several possible loops. The general interpretive message for the tour includes all the basics (message of the USFWS, message of the NWRS, goals and objectives of the refuge, things to see and do on the refuge, etc), plus an assortment of hands-on activities ranging from using telemetry to track red wolves to hunting for deer, bear, and raccoon tracks, to finding the wet trails where bears crossed the road! We examine water control structures and learn how they work, identify some trees, birds, and turtles, and talk about fire and how we use it on the refuge to make habitats better.
On this "maiden voyage", freshwater turtles - mostly yellow-bellied sliders - were plentiful in the ditches along the route. Some actually stayed in place as the tram passed by. One spotted turtle made its way across the road which gave us an opportunity to make introductions "up close and personal." Black Bear are always expected on this refuge. Fortunately, one bear cooperated on this tour! And, a Northern Harrier showed off by grabbing a wiggling dinner from a nearby ditch and perching on the ground to consume it.
Until summer, we'll be offering one tram tour each month on Saturdays. During the summer months, we'll offer weekly tram tours on Thursdays from 1:30 'til 3:30. Plus, we'll use the tram for the regularly schedule Bear Necessities programs on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 'til 7:30. Other times of the year, at least one monthly Saturday tour will be conducted. We anticipate lots of interest among birders during the winter when waterfowl are concentrated in the farm fields.
During Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival in November, there will be many special tram tours offered at Alligator River and a couple at Pea Island. As word gets out to local residents, schools, and tourist-related businesses, we're certain the tram will offer many opportunities for visitors to enjoy the refuge in a relaxed, comfortable, and safe manner. And, while they're our captive audience, we'll make sure they leave knowing much about who we are, what we do, and why we do it! For more information, visit www.fws.gov/alligatorriver/spec.html

Wildlife Photographers come in all sizes, shapes, ages, and levels of complexity. Sometimes, a quick photo snapped with a cell phone and immediately sent to a friend conveys the "wonder of wildlife" better than the most professionally taken wildlife photo can do so!
Yes- our bear was far away… but everyone was thrilled to see a bear in the wild. Even with the naked eye- there was no mistaking it!
We plan to get many miles of service, connect many people with nature, and make many refuge friends with our new open-air tram trailer!

Hey there, this is your Pal Pallie and welcome back to Git Er Raid. These are the achievements that reward the Glory of the Orgrimmar Raider meta achievement which nets you a pretty Galakras looking mount. These achievements can be done in Flex, Normal or Heroic mode. This is part three of four and we'll talk about the achievements for the next 3 bosses in Siege, Malkorok, Spoils of Pandaria, and Thok the Bloodthirsty. I must say, these are fun ones to get.
Here are some annotations to skip ahead to the particular boss achievement you might be looking for.
First up is Malkorok. The achievement is called Unlimited Potential and reads Transform a Corrupted Skullsplitter into a Corrupted Amalgamation and then defeat Malkorok. Here we get a nice meaty achievement to sink your teeth into. First up, where is the Corrupted Skullsplitter. Thats this guy down here in the trash leading up to Malkorok. Hes being chained up and tortured by these other adds so just get those guys down and leave the Corrupted Skullsplitter on his own. Once you clear all the way up to Malkorok, you are ready to start.
To transform this guy into a Corrupted Amalgamation, you need him to be hit by a Breath of Ysharrj from the boss. So you leave a tank and healer down below and pull the add and truck it up the steps to the boss. Be very careful, he has a huge cleave hell do periodically. Dont stand in it! Once you all get back together, have the tank park the add to the side here and point it towards the wall. Then pull the boss. Do the boss as normal and of course watch the tank who has the add. The boss will do 3 arcing smashes as usual and then do a breath where he smashed. So the object is to have the Corrupted Skullsplitter be in the area where the breath is going to happen. Once it gets hit, it will transform and then you can burst it down.
How you get it hit is up to you. If you want the tank to simply stand in the breath, thats doable with a strong shield and some cooldowns. Or if you want to root the add here just before the breath happens, thats also possible. Seeing as we did this in Flex mode, we just had the tank stand in the breath and pop a major CD. Once you kill off the Amalgamation and then the boss, youll get the achievement.
On to the Spoils of Pandaria achievement. Which, by the way , is my favorite fight in case you didnt know. The achievement is called Criss Cross and reads Complete the Spoils of Pandaria encounter without any raid member defeating both a Mantid and Mogu enemy. Seems straightforward from the description and the name. You have to have your raid groups cross to the other side so that they only defeat one kind of enemy. So if you start out on the Mogu side, you finish the encounter killing on Mogu. Likewise, for Mantid.
So for the first half of the encounter, you just do it as normal. Once both sides have completed killing the relevant boxes to get the necessary energy, DO NOT OPEN THE GATE YET. Once you open the gate with the lever, your timer for the next section will start. And unless you can get people over quickly and easily beat the timer, you probably want to give yourself some extra time. What you need to do is start having people use the cranes here to hop over to the other side one by one. But first, be absolutely certain that both sides are done. If someone goes early and hops down into the other group while they are finishing off their side, its highly likely the game will count them as having defeated that box which will be the wrong type.
So get done, then have people go over one by one. If you get tight on the enrage timer for this first section its ok to open the gate with 10 seconds or so left . If you do this, make sure no one opens ANY boxes on either side until everyone has switched sides completely. Opening the gate will allow you access to a second set of cranes so youll be able to go faster ferrying people over but again, opening the gate starts the enrage timer for killing the second half of this encounter so if you are worried about that, just be patient. Once everyone is switched, just go at the rest of the encounter as normal and beat the enrage and presto, heres a lovely achievement for you!
And finally, its time to have some fun with Thok and snails. His achievement is called Giant Dinosaur versus Mega Snail. Yes, already the title tells you how awesome this achievement is. It reads, Open the Thrice-Locked Cage during the Thok the Bloodthirsty encounter and then allow its inhabitant to feast upon Thoks corpse once you have defeated the encounter. Sounds like a blast eh? So you remember those snails in Throne of Thunder leading up to the Ji-Kun encounter? Garrosh apparently managed to get his hands on a huge one and stuck it in this cage here. To open this cage, as you might imagine, it takes 3 keys. Once freed, the snail inside will fixate and slowly pursue people. Just like the snails in Throne of thunder, this snail will instantly kill you if it manages to munch on you. Joy!
So basically the goal is to free the snail just as Thok is getting ready to die so that it will fixate on this fresh dino corpse and eat it instead of you. Then the next question is how to unlock the cage. Well, you can get keys from the jailor that comes out during Thoks blood frenzy phase. Ah, but you may be asking yourself, if I use that key on the Snails cage, how will I free a prisoner in order to push Thok back into his other phase? And the answer is fairly simple, after you use a key on the snail cage, another jailor spawns so you get a new key from him.
Aha, so with that knowledge what you do is kill off jailors twice per blood frenzy phase while kiting the dino. Use the first key on the snail cage, then the second key on whichever relevant prisoner cage you want to unlock.
Actually one of the best ways to accomplish this achievement is to have Thok fairly low heading into the 3rd blood frenzy and kill him off just as soon as you unlock the snail cage. Again, if you are doing this achievement in Flex its probably fairly easy to accomplish that dps-wise. Just make sure the Snail is out and then put down the dino.
It is also possible to go wild killing jailors over and over in one blood frenzy to get the snail unlocked early on if your dps is stupendous. Youll just have to be very quick about using the keys and also be very good at kiting the dino if hes left in his blood frenzy for a long time. If you want to try it, maybe have all dps blow up the jailors in the first blood frenzy and kill 3. 2 for the snail cage and 1 to push him back to his normal phase. Then kill off one jailor in the next blood frenzy and youll be home and hosed.
And thats it for part three of this achievement guide. Stay tuned for part four which will go into the last 3 bosses in Siege. If you have additional tips on any of these achievements or any other comments, post them below and of course subscribe and leave a like on the video if it was helpful. Catch you soon and have a good one!

PACIFICA, Calif. (AP) - The first tunnels built in California in more than 50 years are set to open
State transportation officials will snip the ceremonial ribbons on the so-called Devil's Slide tunnels south of San Francisco at 11 a.m. Monday. However, the tunnels won't be open to public traffic until later Monday or earlier Tuesday.
The $439 million project has been decades in the making.
The pair of single-lane tubes will divert a treacherous 1.2-mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway that constantly erodes and frequently collapses about 15 miles south of San Francisco.
The tunnels are equipped with massive exhaust fans, carbon monoxide sensors and a pair of 1,000-foot bridges. Ten fireproof shelters are staggered between the double bores, and remote cameras dangle from the ceiling, monitored constantly by a staff of 15.

Enable the Android Market
From nookDevs
Part of the NookColor portal
To start the rooting process please scroll down...
Note: Some people have reported that this process will only work for them after a complete reset to an un-rooted factory fresh NookColor. If you need to do that, instructions are at Flash back to clean stock ROM.
Read the whole thing over before you start. This can easily screw up your nook. Expect it to.
If you mess up the nook, you will have to Flash back to clean stock ROM. You can not brick a nook, but you can mess it up enough to require re-flashing to out-of-the-box condition. Very smart people have failed at this. If the following instructions confuse you, you might want to wait until an easier method has been developed.
This was derived from original work by MrMuffin based on the previous gmail and Youtube work by [mbm] Modifications to Framework.jar by clockworx and many many people in #nookcolor.
- You must have rooted your NookColor prior to following these instructions.
- You will need adb working. That may involve following the instructions at: NookColor USB ADB.
- You must have a gmail account. Even if you never use it again, set one up.
- You must log into YouTube at least once from your PC with that gmail account using the full email@example.com address
- If your B&N Nook registration email is a gmail address, make sure you use the same email for YouTube setup. If you use 2 different ones, Market will start but will not download any apps.
- You must have a working wifi connection. You can not do this if you can not connect to the internet.
We are using the process of logging into YouTube on the NC to make a username and password entry into the database on the NC so that when you run Market, it uses that identity. It's a silly, round about way to do things, but it is the only one we've found to date that works. More direct solutions may come eventually.
What this does
- Enable APK installs directly on the device
- Enable Live Wallpapers
- Enable Multitouch for certain apps (Google Maps, etc)
- Download and extract the Google Apps (Market, Gmail, etc) to the proper place on your NC and set permissions
- Download and install Youtube
- Edit build.prop and packages.xml to enable Gmail and Market
- Generate an AndroidId for the Market. The Android emulator is no longer required.
- Modify the fingerprint of your device to emulate a Verizon Droid Eris running Android 2.1. This will let you access protected apps in the Market that would be otherwise hidden, (SlingPlayer is one)
If you would prefer to control this process by hand, the step by step instructions can be found at NookColor:Manual market enable. This page uses an automated script to accomplish the above.
Running the script
You do not just run the script. There are followup steps you must do.
Read all the way to the bottom!!!
From a terminal, cd to your adb directory and run these commands:
wget http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/NookColor-Config chmod +x NookColor-Config sudo ./NookColor-Config
Now, skip past the Windows instructions and do the steps at FOLLOWUP.
Mac OSx
Download autonook-mac-0.2 from mediafire into the folder where your adb is. Then in a terminal in that folder:
chmod +x autonook-mac-0.2 sudo ./autonook-mac-0.2
Now, skip past the Windows instructions and do the steps at FOLLOWUP.
- Download Autonook_0.8.zip from mediafire
- Extract all the files from it.
- Copy all the files into the folder containing your adb.exe.
- Bring up a command prompt.
- In Vista or Win7 if your adb.exe is under Program Files, you will need to run the command prompt as administrator.
- CD to the folder you just copied everything into.
- type the command autonook and follow the on-screen instructions.
DO THIS EXACTLY THIS WAY If you don't do this exactly this way, it won't work, and people will say your dog is ugly.
- Disconnect the USB cable.
- The startup wizard will run, and talk about a Zoom2. Tap the robot.
- When it offers to let you sign in, press the SKIP button.
- Make sure that the location services checkbox is checked.
- Finish the signup wizard.
- Ensure that your wifi is connected.
- Go to extras and run the YouTube app.
- Press the Menu button.
- Sign in with your Gmail account. Use the full email@example.com form of the username.
- Answer "Allow" twice
- Bring up extras
- Run gmail.
- Press menu and resync. Even if sync fails, that's ok.
- Bring up extras
- Choose Market
- You should be presented with the Terms of Service. Accept them.
- You should now be in market and it should work.
Market only shows ten results
In market, turn the nook sideways, scroll once, then turn it back up. The market app only downloads more results when the screen is "full" and it never fills up in portrait, the app was written for devices smaller than 1024. So, rotate, scroll, spinback, all good.
If not everything shows in Market
There have been reports that it may take as long as 30 hours to see all apps in Market rather than a restricted set after performing this update. To date there is no absolute proof one way or the other.
If things didn't work
If your Market does not work, you will need to Flash back to clean stock ROM and start completely over with rooting the NOOKcolor and then come DIRECTLY here to attempt these steps again.
If and only if you have attempted this twice, at least once after a complete flash back to stock, then come to the IRC channel and ask for help.
If YouTube fails to start
In *some* instances, Youtube will now flake out on you when you try to run it. That's no big deal. Simply uninstall/reinstall Youtube. Or, install the EVO HQ YouTube app, which not only is hardware accelerated, doesn't fail to run, but runs HQ YouTube video's full screen without flaking out. download it from: Android Central.
If you want to uninstall/install the existing youtube app by hand, download the signed youtube app -- this is a zip file, you will have to unzip it and copy the apk to your adb directory. Then.
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube adb push signed_YouTube.apk /system/app adb reboot
At this point, youtube should work normally from now on.

"I was prepared to douse myself with water to get him, and Todd said you can't Kim, you cannot go and I said I have to get that dog I love him," says Kim Carlson.
Kim Carlson pulled up to her South Sixth Avenue home Tuesday afternoon to find it in flames.
The fire started on the second floor in a bedroom, and inside somewhere was her 7-year-old lab, Koda.
"I ran upstairs and I only got up about half way and the smoke was so thick, and so black and I kept yelling, Koda, Koda, where are you because I knew when I left that he was lying on our bed," she says.
Firefighters found him in that bedroom, after they saw a rocking chair moving.
"I can't believe when I saw Koda come outside, they carried him out and I thought for sure he was no longer with us," says Carlson.
That's when Jared Thompson and Jamie Giese with the Wausau Fire Department stepped in and did the unthinkable.
"As they brought him down but when they laid him down on the ground we could see that he was struggling to breathe and that's when we decided to do a little mouth to snout resuscitation," says Jared and Jamie.
A decision that saved Koda's life.
Today, he's doing great and it's all because of those firefighters.
"We're firefighters, this is what we do, I don't care if it's an animal, this is what we're going to do, we're going to help anybody, anything, anywhere, anytime," says Jared and Jamie.
And it's something both Koda and Kim will be forever thankful for.
"It's truly a miracle and I'm forever grateful to Jared and Jamie and the fire department and the police department," says Carlson.
Three other animals inside the home at the time of the fire, escaped with no injuries.

USDA certifies mobile meat processing unit
Callicrate Cattle Co. will be authorized to process cattle within walking distance of where they were born and raised on the rolling plains of northwest Kansas after receiving a grant of inspection recently from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A mobile meat processing unit parked near St. Francis, Kan., will be used for on-farm processing of beef, lambs, goats and pigs. Most of the meat will be marketed through the wholesale and retail outlets of Ranch Foods Direct in Colorado Springs.
The most important aspect of on-farm processing is that it reduces stress on the livestock, which are routinely trucked hundreds of miles to large packing plants, according to Mike Callicrate, owner of Ranch Foods Direct and Callicrate Cattle Co.
"It stands to reason that less stress is better for the animal and for meat quality," Callicrate says. "Some research on bison has shown that shipping them as little as 25 miles can reduce meat tenderness and quality substantially."
The idea of creating a more locally based processing alternative to large meatpacking plants extends back at least two decades, according to Laura Krebsbach, a nonprofit consultant who headed up the project to build the mobile processing unit.
Mobile units cost less to build than brick-and-mortar facilities and are more flexible because they can be moved between locations.
"While the demand for locally and responsibly raised meat is increasing, small farmers and ranchers who are best suited to fill that need have been losing access to custom processors as the meat industry consolidates," Krebsbach says. "We wanted to design something that was within the financial reach of rancher groups, nonprofits, co-ops or cut-and-wrap meat facilities. When you consider the carbon footprint, the environmental impact and animal welfare issues, as well as giving the producer more control over his product and putting more money in his pocket, this approach just makes so much sense for so many reasons."
USDA approval was officially granted on May 9. USDA inspection allows the meat to be sold in wholesale and retail markets across the U.S. and internationally. Only a few mobile meat processing units have been certified nationwide.
The unit can process up to 15 to 20 cattle per day with a USDA meat inspector overseeing the processing of each animal. That compares to large plants where inspectors monitor fast-moving lines that process an animal every 8 to 9 seconds. More information about the mobile processing concept, including photos and videos, are available at www.MobileMeatProcessing.com. Or contact Mike Callicrate by calling 785-332-8218.

UFOs? No, Just Aircraft That Looks Like Spacecraft.
According to the story, the CIA attributes half of all UFO sightings from the '50s and '60s to the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird spy planes. The military and other government organizations may have also promoted UFO hysteria in order to maintain the secrecy of the covert planes. If you've served in the military, been to an air show, or just seen stealth planes in action, you know that they can appear to morph shapes and change directions instantly, which could easily lead even more recent spectators to believe they've witnessed something extraordinary.
FOX provides six such formerly secret crafts including Northrop Grummon's B-2 Spirit. The U-2, the SR-71 (which some believe has a super-secret offspring currently being tested), the RQ-3 Darkstar, the P-791 (which looks like something out of a steampunk graphic novel), and the F-117A Nighthawk were all developed by Lockheed Martin. The list then should at least prove, once and for all, who exactly reverse-engineered the alien technology found at the Roswell crash site. [From: FOX News]

Passing this farm bill won't be a 'SNAP'
By Ken Root
"Follow the money," as they say in the big leagues of finance and sports. That will be the situation in this year's attempt to pass farm legislation. There was procedure and process to put the two pieces of farm legislation before Congress, but the most contentious issue for both agriculture committees, and in each body when the bill arrives on the floor, is to center the money issue enough for passage.
Rural America skewed toward the conservative side in the past presidential election. Although farmers did not find fault with the biotech, biofuels and conservation policies of the Barack Obama administration, an estimated 76 percent of farmers voted Republican. The number of "safe" Republican and Democrat House districts increased to the point that extreme members of the last Congress were re-elected to this term. That means their desire to cut spending, or add benefits, is even stronger and that won't bode well for traditional negotiations.
The conflict over farm bill spending focuses on two areas: farm program payments and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is commonly referred to as "the Food Stamp Program."
The big unknown is how much Democratic members of Congress will allow SNAP to be cut before they vote against the farm bill.
SNAP is a monster. It consumed 77 percent of the total agriculture budget in 2012. Growth in the program is phenomenal: $35 billion in 2007 to $80 billion in 2012. Qualified recipients moved from 26 million in 2007 to 47 million over the same period. If you are saying "How can this be?" you are not alone, but one in six persons is now receiving nutrition assistance from the federal government.
Keeping this in perspective, the urban members of Congress are outraged at the amount of money that goes to "millionaire farmers" who get subsidies on crop insurance, direct payments and conservation matching funds. Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Democrat from urban Cleveland, clearly articulates the Democratic viewpoint: "They want means testing for current recipients and new applicants for food stamps. Well, let's do the same for these farmers who are getting millions from commodity programs."
This is an impasse that could be resolved by separating the food and nutrition expenditure from production, food safety and conservation programs. This is not a new argument but it has much more gravity in a time when spending has doubled and government revenue has shrunk. The logical department to handle this program would be Health and Human Services, as it aligns with its mission and core constituency quite closely. However, the strongest of agricultural voices cry out that moving the $80 billion dollar SNAP program would cause death to the farm program.
The reasoning comes down to "horse trading" between the two groups. Rural legislators, all the way back to the 1960s, expressed strong desire to keep food spending inside farm legislation because they would have no leverage without it. The food interests know that they can keep their program growing as long as they give agriculture its share of the pie. The problem is that the Obama administration took more of the 2008-2012 pie and the next one (2013-2017) will be smaller.
Both Senate and House farm bills address farm and food spending. The committee members are aware of the long-term goal of passing a bill and getting it signed by the president. On the Senate side, it seems to be a fairly amenable group that will cut food spending by a few billion and keep farm programs close to their current level. The House is more volatile and extreme. If the conservative Republicans try to cut too much from SNAP, then they will lose votes on the Democratic side. The Republican majority will allow a final House number on the SNAP reduction to be larger than what will be contained in the Senate bill.
So we go to the infamous "end game" of bringing the bills to the floor of both houses for debate and amendments. Uninvolved members get a single chance to show their approval or disapproval of the spending. The Senate is likely to be fairly mellow on the farm bill because it is focusing on immigration as the biggest challenge of this year. The House will likely wage a budget war upon itself with some likelihood that farm legislation will be the victim. In the House, anti-administration sentiment on farm legislation may get lumped in with Obamacare, Benghazi and Operation Fast and Furious. If so, the left and right will beat the middle and we will be back to an extension of the 2008 bill for one more year.
Although we will know the content of both agriculture committee bills when you read this, we won't know what level of cuts both farm and food interests will have to accept to pass Congress and be signed by the president.
The debate on decoupling farm from food will be raised, but it is very unlikely that they will be split as the nature of Congress is to compromise even if the members are as uncompromising as we have elected for this term.

The volumes of the Journal for 1582 -1603 are missing.Where can I find them?
What is on British History Online is a faithful reflection of what is in the printed Journal. The reason for the jump in dates in this case is that some of the original manuscripts on which the Journal is based were lost before the Journal was printed.The gap is partly made up by two of the other sources on British History Online: Simonds D'Ewes Journal of all the Parliaments and Heywood Townshends's Historical Collections.

At the fair this year, you had a chance to pay to play to win a rabbit — a real, live bunny. I played June 11; it took me $5 from my boyfriend, a bucket of balls and luck to win, and I did. I ran over to the side of the fence where they were being kept.
As new members of the Carroll County Fair Board, Christin Michelle Stoops and I would like to take this opportunity to thank some individuals who helped make our 2011 county fair a huge success.
First of all, to every participant and contestant who entered any one of our events, from the derbies to the pageants, we are thankful to all that participated.
I want thank workers at area U.S. Post Offices for their participation in the recent food drive.
All of the food collected was donated to the food pantry located at St. John's Catholic Church. It will go to help local families.
Also, thank you to all those who donated food to the drive.
Mary Katherine Smith
I wish to thank the Rumpke Family and the employees of Rumpke Waste Management for co-sponsoring the first annual Carrollton Cleanup Day. I also want to thank Mike Humphrey, Jailer, and the inmates for their assistance as well as the Carrollton Public Works employees.
Even though not as many citizens took advantage of the opportunity to discard unwanted articles as I had hoped for, there was enough participation to merit another day next year.
I would like to take a moment to thank Coach Jay Jones for the wonderful job he did again this year making the Bob Coots Legends Game such a successful event.
Even with the rainy weather we all had a wonderful time. This event means so much to me and to my entire family.
Jay's hard work and dedication is appreciated beyond words.
I cannot say thank you in enough ways to the senior class of 2011. What was done at Honors Day for Noah, I will never forget. This shows respect in so many different ways. Special education kids can teach us all some important life lessons. This is a victory for all past, present and future special education kids.

Foster homes for animals are desperately needed. Every dog that is picked up or dropped off at our local shelter has no chance of getting out alive, unless the executive director of Carroll County Animal Support, Tammie Crawford, rescues them. She has limited space at her home and in her kennels and once she is full and cannot pull any more from the shelter, those left there are euthanized.
This community has always been very supportive of the WHAS Crusade for Children. As a member of the Carrollton Fire Department, I want to thank you for your past support of the Crusade and, again, appeal to you for your continued support of this great cause as Crusade kickoff is upon us.
Since 1956 when the first fire department in Kentucky joined forces with WHAS to pledge their support to disabled children, fire departments now raise approximately fifty percent of donations pledged each year in Kentuckiana.

Call him Christmas royalty. Gerald Charles Dickens is the great-great-grandson of legendary author Charles Dickens. He hails from London, but will be making the rounds in the metro this weekend in honor of Dickens' 200th birthday.
Sunday, he will perform his one man show, a reading of "A Christmas Story," as a fundraiser for the Historic General Dodge House Museum. The event will take place at Iowa Western's Looft Auditorium with two performances, a matinee show and an evening show.
The event involving a Dickens descendant is particularly fitting as a fundraiser for the Historic Dodge House since Mrs. Ruth Ann Dodge, the general's wife, used Dickens' Christmas classic as a theme of the biggest fundraiser she hosted. Then, the cause was to raise money for Council Bluffs' free public library, a first for the entire state.
"Historically… women are kind of glossed over or under appreciated," said Danette Hein-Snider, a volunteer coordinator and researcher for the Dodge House. "And Mrs. Dodge certainly stepped up and helped Council Bluffs."
During her annual parties, she'd get 150 people dressed up in costumes of Dickens' characters. Sunday's events incorporate that sort of authenticity, too.
Kori Nelson, executive director of the Dodge House said, "We certainly love the Christmas season. It's a big part of what we do. This just adds that extra element on to what we normally do here and having Gerald Charles Dickens as part of our celebration was kind of the icing on the cake."
Cake and ice cream will be served at Sunday's 2 p.m. performance at the college. Tickets range from $10 to $55 for a family pack. Hors d'oeuvres and desserts will be served at the evening show, which begins at 7 p.m. Those tickets are $35 to $40.
The Douglas County Historical Society is hosting weekend events with Gerald Charles Dickens as well. Visit the website link below for more information.

I have this can and don't really know what to do with it besides make a pie and I don't feel like it. I thought about making bars, but don't you just use pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix? Thoughts?
I have this can and don't really know what to do with it besides make a pie and I don't feel like it. I thought about making bars, but don't you just use pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix? Thoughts?
Here is a link to a recipe called pumpkin pie streusel squares. It looks awesome!
Here is the link to about 84 recipes that you could use pie mix in....
Well I checked out the Very Best Baking website for Libby's and it just says that they are pretty much one in the same for recipes. Which I find weird cuz I kept seeing it say in reicpes NOT to interchange them. Hmm. Oh well. I guess I will make the bars or maybe a cake. Any great recipes floating around out there?
Pumpkin bread , with nuts and apples.
Easy and rich tasting.
1 Egg
2 C White sugar
1-1/2 C vegetable oil (or replace part or all of the oil with pureed fruit but reduce sugar)
1 can pumpkin (14 oz) or use homemade pumpkin puree
3 C All purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
2 Tsp. Baking powder
2 Tsp. Baking soda
1 Tsp. Salt
2 C Sultana raisins (or 1 C each raisins and nuts)
In large bowl, beat eggs well Add sugar, oil and pumpkin to eggs and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Bake for 15 minutes in 400°F oven.
Thanks guys, sound good. Mmmm. I was denying that fall is coming, but then I heard my friend mention the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks and that did it for me lol.
You can interchange it in any recipe that calls for pumpkin. The pumpkin pie mix already has the spices added to it, so if you substitute it in a recipe that just calls for pumpkin, leave out the extra cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger, etc.
In our last swap, I received a jar of Pumpkin Butter. It is amazingly good....
I bet that is easy to make!
Have you made time to listen to the birds today........
I 2nd the streusal bar recipe. I made it sometimes and we really like it.
I don't want buns of steel. I want buns of cinnamon !!!

The sleazy, relatively unattractive porn star selling a purported sex tape of herself and Tiger Woods claims the golf superstar paid her not to release it.
THAT is why she's shutting down her website, which had been selling the alleged tape ... not because it actually features a Tiger look-alike or anything.
Devon James claims she had an affair with Woods - and frankly, who hasn't - but the Tiger sex tape and love child she alleges she has are clear fakes.
Devon James has no shame. Or morals, or money.
"Our settlement is done so we're not releasing a tape," Devon James' husband Nick said, claiming the couple received a settlement from Woods' camp.
But come on. Obviously there is no settlement.
Even Radar Online, which will report that Rielle Hunter wants to marry John Edwards less than a day after his wife dies, says the story is pure fiction.

Stafford's County Café Serving the Hungry
Editor's note: Lindley Estes is filling in for Amy Umble while Amy's away.
By LINDLEY ESTES
Every Tuesday after 4 p.m., the County Café in Stafford will close its doors to the public and open them again at 5 p.m. for the needy.
In a partnership with The Stafford Hope Center, it began hosting a weekly soup kitchen on Aug. 4.
Pastor of Hope Chapel in Stafford Mike Hancock said that they have had about 20 visitors during each of the first two dinners offered, but he hopes to help 100 people in need per week as word gets out about the soup kitchen.
They teamed up with the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank, SERVE in Stafford and Stafford social services to advertise the service.
The Fredericksburg Area Food Bank has also helped provide the soup kitchen with food. What is not donated by the food bank is purchased with Hope Center funds.
The volunteers that take over the County Café's kitchen each Tuesday serve a bowl of soup; a grilled cheese sandwich (or PB&J for children if desired); a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and dressing; a hot vegetable; mixed fruit dessert; and a beverage.
Hancock said monetary donations are appreciated and needed. He would be happy to place a card stating who provided the meal if any organization would like to provide one night's meal.
He said the statistics for hunger in America affected him and made him want to start a soup kitchen. He found through feedingamerica.org that one in six Americans struggles with hunger. It is estimated that 10,380 residents in Stafford County fall within the definition of being "food insecure," according to Hancock.
"Although Stafford County has a lower food insecurity rate (8.3) than the state (12.4), there are still hungry neighbors that need help," he said in an email interview.
"The Soup Kitchen is just one of three robust food programs of the Stafford Hope Center. A food pantry is open during Hope Center business hours for non-perishable food. Fresh (perishable) items are distributed on Saturdays, and the soup kitchen (providing a hot meal) seemed like the next logical step in reducing hunger in our area."
He said that they hope to feed the hungry in an atmosphere "where our patrons will experience love and support, dignity and respect."
Hancock also said that he hopes the community notices the County Café's willingness to serve and that the Stafford Hope Center will continue to grow and be able to provide more services to those in need.
If you want to go next Tuesday (or any Tuesday following), the soup kitchen opens at 5 p.m. and the last patrons are seated at 7:15 p.m. Doors close at 8 p.m.

Winter With the Writers showcases a lively mix
Rollins' annual literary festival aims to strike a balance between 'excitement and disquiet'
Published: February 5, 2014
various times, Feb. 6-27 | Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-646-2000 | rollins.edu/winterwiththewriters | free
"Imagine, I thought, if WWW this year featured a best-selling novelist two-thirds done with his post-apocalyptic vampire trilogy, the 2007 poet laureate with a Pulitzer and uncanny insights into the human predicament, a celebrated short-story writer who graduated from [Rollins], another novelist with his own trilogy – historical fiction set during the Haitian Revolution – and a very funny poet?"
That's Carol Frost's description of the design of this year's Winter With the Writers, Rollins College's annual star-studded literary festival. The month-long program is a mix of master classes and readings open to the public (every Thursday in February) and a behind-the-scenes opportunity for a dozen or so students in Rollins' English department to work closely with some of the leading writers of their time. Professor Frost oversees the process and crafts the mix. With the suggestions of her colleagues and WWW's "loyal and discerning" audience in mind, Frost says, "I read a lot of books, looking for the most original voices." Frost sees her brief in booking the festival season as "strik[ing] a balance between excitement and disquiet." Regarding the mashup of genres and forms (not to mention ages) she's put together this year, she advises a flexible perspective:
"Certainly there are people who think that without meter and rhyme, the result isn't poetry. There are readers who won't go near vampire fiction and others who look at flash fiction and wonder what the fuss is. One aim of Winter With the Writers is to present the best writing that can be found in as many genres as there are. We've had playwrights before, and we will again. I'd like to invite a songwriter some year," Frost says. "Flash fiction, prose poetry, song, found fiction, genre fiction, literary fiction, free verse poetry, classic poetry, play, skit, translation, mini-saga, new media poetry – it's a wide world of literature, full of possibility, and Winter With the Writers embraces that possibility."
Charles Simic, Feb. 6
Master class 4 p.m. Bush Auditorium | Reading, on-stage interview and book signing 7:30 p.m., Bush Auditorium
Poet Charles Simic was born in the former Yugoslavia and emigrated to the United States in 1954. He has published more than 60 books, including 20 volumes of poetry, and has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. After winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1990 for The World Doesn't End, Simic was appointed the 15th Poet Laureate. "Simic has been a favorite for many years of my students at Rollins, who particularly enjoy his prose poetry," Frost says.
