DEAR BENNY: Some states such as California have a 3 percent limit to deposit recovery; buyers have the right, if they legally back out of a contract, to secure a full return of up to a 3 percent deposit. Any deposit over 3 percent is not refundable. In California, I have never seen a deposit over 3 percent. --Joe
What makes an outdoor party great? It's simple: Keep guests comfortable.
It's little wonder that Ozzie was joined by Harriet in the work world.
SAN DIEGO (AP) - California home prices rose sharply last month to the highest levels in more than two years, a research firm said Wednesday.
Brad Young of PMZ Real Estate in Manteca has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance, with a particular emphasis on short sales.
DEAR BENNY: I need to write a "request for payment plan" letter to my homeowners association, but I don't know how to write an effective one. I owe several months of back dues totaling about $3,000, which includes attorney's fees and interest. I really need help on writing this letter. I have not paid because of major health issues in 2011 to date. --Liz
WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans are regaining confidence in the housing market five years after it collapsed.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average rates on fixed mortgages fell again this week to record lows, creating more incentive for buyers to enter the recovering housing market.
WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 1.5 million older Americans already have lost their homes, with millions more at risk as the national housing crisis takes its toll on those who are among the worst positioned to weather the storm, a new AARP report says.
Looking back at flipping in 2005 it is amazing that the housing market collapse wasn't worse.
BEMIDJI, Minn. (AP) - Kjell Thompson has long dreamed of owning her own home, but until recently she thought it out of her reach.
We spend hours in the kitchen socializing, keeping the family organized, and, of course, cooking and eating. As the center of the home's activities, the kitchen should be as fun as it is functional. With just a few supplies and a free weekend, you can cook up a whole new look for your kitchen.
A little black dress, a great pair of jeans and a leather jacket - some styles never go out of fashion. Some elements of home decor share that same sense of timelessness, and none more so than a simple floral theme.
DEAR BENNY: My homeowners association fees are of great concern to me, since I am on a limited income. The monthly fees are $399, and this, combined with my mortgage payments of nearly $1,400, creates a burden. I have been a widow since 1973 and am, of course, a "retired" senior with no retirement income benefits.
The real estate market is still in a state of limbo, which has many homeowners staying in place and looking for ways to make their current abode the most comfortable it can be. Real estate agents expect the market to continue to be flat in 2012, according to ActiveRain Corp, a real estate social network. Because they're not selling, homeowners are looking at remodeling rooms, changing out decorating schemes and in some cases, even adding on to the home.
Move over kitchens and bathrooms, homeowners are focusing on a new part of the home: the garage. No longer just a place to park the car and lawn equipment, today's garages are getting bigger and better. Here are a few quick and easy projects to create a useful and organized garage.
Don't sweat it if your home doesn't have central air-conditioning. Whether you live in an older house that can't accommodate ductwork, or you don't want to sacrifice your interior aesthetics with an unattractive air conditioning unit, you can still keep your home feeling - and looking - cool this summer with advanced air conditioning technology.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A key long-term U.S. mortgage rate dipped this week, the second drop after a large increase two weeks ago.
The addition of a new pet to the family is always a cause for celebration. Stress can occur, too, no matter how welcome the new addition. When you're thinking about adopting a pet from an animal shelter, some preparation can help ensure he or she is as safe and happy as possible.
As winter temperatures drop, the potential for higher utility bills goes up. Taking steps ahead of the cold season can help you trim costs and make your home more energy efficient, keeping those utility bills in check even as the winter weather rages.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects can significantly add comfort, improve functionality and increase the home's resale value. Whichever reason drives homeowners to complete an improvement project, they need to pick one that also delivers a return on investment.

New fire chief named in Richfield
|Jason Mihalek was sworn in as the chief of the Richfield Village Fire Department at the Village Council meeting Jan. 15.
|Photo courtesy of Bobbie Beshara
Council approved Mayor Bobbie Beshara's recommendation to promote Mihalek, a 30-year resident of Richfield. His children were in attendance, and his wife pinned on his new badge as his colleagues in attendance, along with Council, gave him a standing ovation.
"This is one of the finest organizations on the planet, and I'm proud to be your leader," said Mihalek, who was hired by former Richfield Fire Chief Russ English at the age of 19.
He also thanked his family for their patience when he had to be away from home for week-long training sessions.
"It's been my childhood dream to be the fire chief of the Village of Richfield," Mihalek said. "This has been my home for the last 30 years, and it will be for many more."
Phil McLean had been the acting chief for the past eight months since the retirement of Chief Joe Stopak. McLean was appointed to the position of assistant fire chief at the meeting. His wife pinned his new badge on, and he also got a standing ovation.
McLean has been a member of the Richfield Fire Department since 1976, and Council's resolution to promote him expressed thanks for his "exemplary service."
"It's been a pleasure to serve the mayor and my firefighters," he said.
One more appointment took place, as Council agreed to promote firemedic Robert Benza to a full-time position. He had been serving on a part-time basis.
Also at the meeting, Council decided on its committee assignments for the new year. Council President Rick Hudak will lead the Finance Committee, while Vice President Andy Ellis will chair the Safety Committee and serve on the Fire Dependency Board.
Councilman Ralph Waszak will lead the Public Works Committee and serve as Council's representative on the Public Tree and Landscape Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission.
Councilman John Ciolkevich will lead the Building and Grounds Committee. Councilwoman Barb Lanford will run the Cable Committee and the Streets and Highways Committee. She also will be Council's liaison to the Human Services Commission.
Councilman Mike Wheeler will lead the Insurance Committee and serve as Council's liaison to Richfield Township and the Parks and Recreation Board.
Councilman Hank Novak will represent Council on the Fire Dependency Board and the Cemetery Board.
Before the meeting, Council held a public hearing on an ordinance to rezone property on the north side of West Streetsboro Road between Robin Hill Lane and Humphrey Road. The ordinance would change the zoning from R-2 (Single-Family Residential) to R-3 (Cluster Residential).
"There is a need for higher-density housing, specifically senior housing," said Planning and Zoning Director Brian Frantz. "Fifty percent of Richfield residents are age 55 and older, and we need a variety of housing types."
The Planning and Zoning Commission had approved the ordinance unanimously, Frantz said, adding that it would affect 10 parcels of land totaling 20.3 acres.
"I'm happy living where we're living and the zoning the way it is," said Russ Schutt, of West Streetsboro Road.
Beshara said she didn't see a need for the rezoning.
"Nobody is saying, 'I want a tiny house on a tiny piece of land,'" Ellis said.
Waszak said passing the ordinance would be a "proactive, rather than reactive" approach to Richfield's housing needs.
Law Director Bill Hanna said Council will have to vote on the rezoning within 90 days.
In other business:
• Richfield Village Police Chief Keith Morgan said he is interviewing candidates for part-time officer positions.
• McLean reported the Fire Department assisted its Bath counterparts in fighting a fire at the Our Lady of the Elms' sports facility on Ira Road. [For more on that, see the News & Notes item titled "Fire destroys structure at Elms Athletic Complex" in the Jan. 10, 2013, edition, or visit our archives at www.akron.com.]
Also, McLean reported someone accidentally drove their car into the entranceway of the KinderCare building.
"It was a close call," he said. "Fortunately, there were no kids in the atrium when the car hit the building."
• Recreation Director Ruth Jocek said a Valentine Fair Trade event will take place Feb. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Masonic Hall, 3750 Grant St., featuring gifts from craftsmen in underprivileged countries. The event also will include a preview night Fair Trade Wine Tasting Feb. 8 from 5 to 8 p.m.
• Council approved resolutions for the purchase of three police cars from Montrose Auto Group, a new pick-up truck for the Service Department from Serpentini Chevrolet and department equipment from Baker Vehicle Systems. The total of these purchases is $157,000.
The next Richfield Village Council meeting is set for Feb. 5 at 8 p.m. at Town Hall, 4410 W. Streetsboro Road.

Zelda is so predictable. The very first thing she does after returning from a ride is roll. It must feel oh-so-good.
Zelda is so predictable. The very first thing she does after returning from a ride is roll. It must feel oh-so-good.
Here's an interesting article from Dr. David Ramey on the use of Isoxsuprine as a a treatment for navicular disease, or really as a treatment for anything. I haven't personally given it to any of my horses, but it definitely was part of the protocol for treating a pony in our barn that foundered.
I suspect there are many treatments that we still use for our horses (and ourselves) that have no scientific basis for working, but which we continue to do because after giving them in the past, our horse seemed better. Even if the drug has nothing to do with it.
These horses have the right idea! I've never seen a horse go in quite that deep or dip its face in the water like that but it's bound to feel good and keep the bugs at bay.
There won't be any flies on Charlie! He looks like a medieval war horse outfitted in his fly sheet and mask! We've had a lot of rain this spring which means beautiful green grass . . . but also lots of mosquitoes. Do you outfit your horses with flysheets?
A self-adhesive strip almost derailed California Chrome's pursuit of the Triple Crown . . . because the Nasal Flair Strips worn by the colt are banned in the state of New York for thoroughbred racing (not, funnily enough, for standardbreds). This was almost an issue in 2012 — Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another also raced with Flair Nasal Strips. New York stewards ruled that he would not be able to wear one for the Belmont and the colt's trainers had agreed to have him run without it. Whether it would have made a difference remains unknown as the colt was scratched due to a leg injury.
This year, California Chrome's trainer Art Sherman raised the possibility that the colt would not run without the strips. And the stewards made a wise decision and lifted the ban.
Unlike humans (NFL football players often wear nasal strips — also called Breathe Right strips) horses can breathe only through their noses, so reducing airway resistance during exercise is a big deal — even if there is no data available that shows it can help horses run faster, they do help improve oxygen intake. Many horses across multiple disciplines wear the nasal strips, although there is no hard data that proves the strips improve performance, although they do seem to reduce bleeding.
According to the manufacturer:
FLAIR Strips support nasal passages to reduce collapse. By reducing nasal passage collapse, your horse expends less energy to get the oxygen he needs.
During exercise when horses begin to breathe hard the soft tissues overlying the nasal passages are sucked in, reducing the airway diameter. This reduction in diameter causes greater resistance to airflow into the lungs.
In a sport where drugs like Lasix (which prevents horses from bleeding during a race) are used without a second thought, it seems crazy that officials would ban a mechanical solution to the problem.
According to recent research, Nasal strips do not affect pulmonary gas exchange, anaerobic metabolism, or EIPH in exercising Thoroughbreds.
But the jury is still out. Another study, Effect of an external nasal dilator strip on cytologic characterists of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in Thoroughbred racehorses, suggests that use of an external nasal dilator strip in Thoroughbred racehorses may decrease pulmonary bleeding, particularly in horses with severe exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.
Perhaps more important is that racing is a sport rife with superstition. If your race horse had won his last six races using a Nasal Strip, why would you risk the most important race of his life without one?
Someone on a bulletin board commented that the owners were wearing the same clothes for the Preakness as for the Derby, adding: "I would bet the house they are all wearing the same underwear! 50/50 chance they washed it."
Who can blame them?
Last Tuesday, out hunting, Curly managed to cut herself on something. Most likely a rock. All of a sudden one of the other riders noticed that there was blood dripping down over her hoof.
Obviously, her owner went straight back to the barn. Sometimes injuries around the hoof bleed a lot but aren't that serious. This one was a pretty good gash. Luckily, although it was deep, it did not impact the coffin bone.
It did, however, require four stitches and a course of antibiotics. Every day she had to have her temperature checked to make sure that an infection wasn't brewing — injuries like that are very difficult to get entirely clean, and on top of that, it had to stay clean. Bad luck, then that it rained for two days last week.
Curly would not have appreciated stall rest but had a small run out area from her stall. That way she could move around a bit but Zelda couldn't boss her around. The leg was protected by a bandages and it stayed very clean.
The good news is that Curly is healing nicely and should be back out under saddle in a day or two.
Happy Easter to Zenyatta and congratulations to the entire Zenyatta team. Just a few minutes after midnight, Zenyatta delivered her third foal, a filly by War Front. Mother and filly are reportedly doing well. Isn't she just the spitting image of her famous mom?

Weird hippy cult or not, harvest those hops!
This kind of reminds me of EB Farnum from Deadwood.
Anyway. So your neighbor has some hops. He does not brew. He is not home. You want to climb the fence and harvest those rhizomes?
Without permission is sounds like Trespassing and Theft to me.
Wait until the neighbor returns and simply ask if you can take a few cuttings instead of sneaking over the fence and stealing his stuff.
+1 Even if that guy doesn't own the property anymore, somebody else does. If you want to harvest hops or rhizomes that are on someone else's property, ask permission first.
I'd say dig the whole tap root out, if the owner doesn't care. They'll grow back from the side roots anyway and you'll get a faster start. Identifying them will be a pain. I brewed a batch from some hops that were growing in a drainage ditch, probably Fuggle. Turned out ok.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
Don't suppose you could include a fellow Wisconsinite in all of this, eh?
I used to live there but got forced to relocate to ND. I'd pay shipping if you get any extra viable rhizomes. I haven't gotten my shipment yet and at this rate, never will. : P
I am part of a group of 10 guys that get together and brew beer. You may call us a club, and we do quite often, but sometimes you have to pull htat thesaurus out from under the short leg on your hideously outdated couch and use for something else besides supporting your chickenscratch while your sign the pizza hut receipt.
Primary being one of the three other guys that makes an effort to come every brew, and makes an effort to be a part of the process.
I am sorry, but we have yet to have any elections, so I have not risen to the ranks of head poobah of poopoo yet. I am one of 10 guys that brews beer.
I like beer.
Bottle - Idiot Pale Ale, LSW Brown, Caliginous Angel, Brown White Ale, ???
Primary - Fruity American dutcher??
On the Board - Kegerator, Man Weekend, and Summer Drunk Ale
It is the father's land. The neighbor had the hops on the border. Neighbor is no longer - dead. Hops are still there. We have the permission to pull the hops.
Thank you David 42 for answering the question that was asked. How to harvest. And the collective here seems to agree that hops in this environment are a good thing.
In that case, I say go for it.
To Ein Gutes Bier - I can and will include if the harvest is right. But only if you can answer this one question...
What is the WORST thing to happen to Wisconsin in the last 20 years?

Carlisle beauty rooms boss wins Cumbrian business innovation award
Last updated at 14:45, Friday, 30 November 2012
A teenager who started in business with £500 borrowed from her parents is still going strong nine years later.
She has now been named 'innovative businesswoman of the year' in the Cumbria Businesswoman of the Year awards run by Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.
Jane McLeod, 27, employs three staff at Cirrus Beauty Rooms in Carlisle.
She said: "After I left Caldew School in Dalston, I did a beauty course at Carlisle College then worked for a salon in town for a short period. But I always wanted my own business.
"My dad had his own business, Abbey Skip Hire, so I suppose he inspired me.
"I went through the phone book and called up every hairdresser in Carlisle, asking if they had any space they were prepared to let."
Fortunately Gerald Bowness, who runs Trags Hairdressers in Ashley Street, off Wigton Road, said 'yes' and Cirrus Beauty Rooms was born in what had been storage rooms behind the salon.
Mrs McLeod said: "Building it from scratch wasn't easy. We've grown most over the last two years.
"Between 2010 and 2012 the increase in turnover was 72 per cent.
"We've used social media, Facebook and Twitter, and Cumbria Women in Enterprise have also been very helpful."
Her mother, Lesley Kirkaldy, entered her for the innovation award.
The judges were impressed by the imaginative ways used to market the business.
Mrs McLeod said: "There are quite a few different things that I try to do.
"I team up with other businesses to provide a unique service. For example, I team up with a clairvoyant and customers come to get a treatment and a reading. That's one of our most popular ones.
"I'm constantly thinking of different things to make us stand out. We have to because Carlisle is saturated [with beauty salons] for the size of the town.
"We offer pamper evenings for groups of friends, work colleagues or businesses where people come along as a group, have treatments, socialise and have exclusive use of the salon.
"I do talks for the WI and the like, which helps connect with new clients.
"And we branched out into selling accessories a couple of years back, fashion jewellery and bags.
"That has helped to grow the business."
Cirrus also does charity work. Mrs McLeod said: "Last year we did a fashion show for Hospice at Home and I did a wax to raise money for Clic Sargent and The Sick Children's Trust."
She is planning a ball next year to celebrate Cirrus' tenth anniversary.
The event at the Crown and Mitre Hotel on October 5 will raise funds for the MS Society, a cause dear to her heart because her father, David Kirkaldy, suffers from multiple sclerosis.
These days she juggles the business with the demands of a young family. She has six-year-old daughter, Lucy-May, and a son Dylan, 21 months.
Her mother, and husband Kevin who works at McVitie's, take on childcare duties when she has to work long hours and late nights.
Mrs McLeod said: "When my little boy gets to school age I would like to open another salon.
"I would never move [from Ashley Street] because the location is ideal but I would open a second place.
"I want to keep increasing the business."

Women aren't failing to meet career goals because they're 'opting out' when they have kids, but because they're allowing their partners' careers to take precedence
Are we teaching our kids to eat right? And not just to be healthy, but also to eat well — what I mean is enjoying a variety of foods, not fearing new things, and being respectful at meal time?
For all the talk about how video games rot our children's brains (they've been linked to lower grades and a lack of empathy), there's evidence they can be used for good, too
In many ways, consuming junk food drives an urge to consume even more junk food, and also underpins overeating. So how do we keep our kids from succumbing to the cravings?
Adults who were prescribed common asthma inhalers while growing up are likely to be shorter than they might have been
Critics said the seeming criminalization of her actions made parents question their own attempts to teach their children independence, lest they be judged similarly
It will come as no surprise to new parents struggling after a night of feeds, but being woken up briefly during a normal night of sleep is as detrimental as sleeping for just four hours
A leading U.K. doctor is calling for the country's employers to shift to a four-day work week to combat stress levels, and to allow people to spend more time with families and exercising
'Many women can't even get a paid day off to give birth — now that's a pretty low bar,' Obama said at the White House Summit on Working Families
When mothers share a bed with babies, breastfeeding is easier and everyone gets more sleep. But children are more likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

How To Roast the Perfect Chicken
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Never underestimate the power of a roast chicken. It's an infallible Sunday dinner, and the leftovers (if you're so lucky) can be used for sandwiches, salads, and quick meals all week long.
Roasting a chicken doesn't have to be a special weekend affair, either. A small bird really only takes about an hour to cook, so we can easily make it on a weeknight. Put it in the oven when you get home from work and let it cook while you wind down from the day. It's that simple — and here's how.

This week we've been visiting Greg Laketek at West Loop Salumi, a maker of authentic Italian salumi in the heart of Chicago. But now that you've heard Greg's story and had a peek into how the salumi is made, you're probably hungry to eat some! Here are a few tips from Greg on what to look for in these Italian cured meats, and the best ways to serve them for snacking or a party.

How West Loop Salumi Makes Authentic Italian Salumi in Chicago

Who: Greg Laketek of West Loop Salumi
What: Salumi

Yesterday we talked with Greg Laketek of West Loop Salumi in Chicago. Greg left his job and made a flying leap into making authentic Italian salumi right in Chicago. Here's a look at how West Loop makes their salumi, and how they think about the process.

Greg Laketek Quit His Job to Make Old World-Style Italian Salumi. Here's Why.
Maker Tour
Who: Greg Laketek of West Loop Salumi
What: Salumi
Where: Chicago, IL
Greg Laketek grew up spending his summers in northern Italy surrounded by family, beautiful scenery and all the other things that make you wonder why you haven't packed your bags and played out your own version of Under the Tuscan Sun. "My grandfather would take me around to his friends' farms where they would make salumi, cheese, bread, wine — that's what I remember growing up."
Greg's appreciation for food began early during those family summers, but during the rest of the year he was back in the Midwest. After graduating from Kansas University with a business degree and starting a consulting company the restlessness set in. He enrolled in culinary school, graduated, but still wasn't sure what his his next step was. One night while out with a friend, inspiration came to him at the bar (as it often does) while discussing Chicago's lack of good salumi.

How To Cook Moist & Tender Chicken Breasts Every Time
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Boneless skinless chicken breasts (aka BSCBs) — is there anything more boring? They are all too often overcooked until dry and chewy, and I generally prefer more succulent boneless, skinless thighs. But for lunch and dinner favorites like chicken Caesar salad and chicken pasta, sliced juicy chicken breasts can't be beat. They're a great staple for quick lunches, too.
Fortunately I have one method that makes unfailingly juicy and tender boneless skinless chicken breasts. Need some chicken for a salad, or to top some pasta? This is the method. It takes some trust, but believe me — it works flawlessly every single time.

Low Sugar Fresh Apricot Jam ~ Private Family Reserve
Item#: JS-10
Customer Reviews:
There is nothing like fresh Blenheim apricots and we've captured that taste in a jam made with very little sugar (the apricots are sweet enough) and pectin. We call this the Family Reserve jam as it is precious to us and we make only 200 cases a year.Because our jam is made from fresh Blenheim apricots and contains no preservatives, this jam has a very short shelf life and should be eaten within 4 weeks of being opened.

The actress will be a new romantic pairing for Kevin Bacon's Ryan Hardy on the Fox drama
True love is coming Ryan Hardy's (Kevin Bacon) way when Fox's "The Following" returns for Season 3.
Zuleikha Robinson boards the bloody drama as Ryan's new girlfriend and a series regular, a show representative told TheWrap.
The cast and producers discussed Robinson's role at San Diego Comic-Con.

"He will truly be in a better place in his life," Bacon said. "He's open to real and lasting relationships. We jump ahead again and we see a man who's a little more at peace."
Robinson plays Ryan's new love Gwen, an ER doctor with a seven-year-old daughter.
"Ryan is trying some domesticity," Bacon added.

Their relationship will be tested as an attack on New York City will cause everyone to live in fear. Can Ryan's relationship withstand his obsession to find who's behind the attacks on the city?
Robinson may be best known for playing Ilana Verdansky, a survivor with ulterior motives, on ABC's "Lost." She has also played recurring roles on "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," USA Network's "Covert Affairs" and Showtime's "Homeland," among others.
She is represented by Gersh, Industry and attorney Howard Fishman.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - New Mexico's Democratic congressional delegation is pushing for a new federal facility to bridge the gap between applied research and product development.
U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich and U.S. Reps. Steve Pearce, Ben Ray Lujan and Michelle Lujan Grisham Wednesday wrote Defense Chuck Secretary Chuck Hagel underlining their strong support for the department's initiative to create a network of manufacturing innovation institutes across the country.
They also asked that the next institute be focused on optics and photonics technologies, which are used in robotics, medical imaging, next-generation displays, defense, biometric security and many other fields.
In March, the delegation and members of public private partnerships indicated that New Mexico's extensive expertise makes it a natural location for additional national investment in research and manufacturing of optics and photonics technologies

Senh Duong (Founder)Wopular,

Grandma was right: Gratitude can make your business better. Really! Find out why.
Last week, Wells Fargo was the first private student loan lender to announce it will modify private student loans for borrowers that are facing financial hardship. While many private lenders have worked with borrowers, Wells Fargo is one of the first to announce that it will offer long term modifications []
The company's revenues grew by around 12.5% year-over-year to $616.8 million driven by higher shipments to markets such as Japan and China, while operating income grew to $35.6 million from around $6 million the same quarter a year ago. The EPS came in at $0.14, missing consensus estimates, due to a $16 million foreign exchange loss that the company recorded to account for depreciation of the Euro and Japanese Yen against the U.
The 'Fix It Here' initiative can help RadioShack lure back old customers as well as attract new customers to its stores, which can help in cross selling other products. Additionally, people who might not want to opt for the repair service (due to high costs) have the option of buying a new device then and there.
ncreased competition in the 3G/4G market, aggressive 4G network expansion by China Mobile and a dual 4G strategy seem to be weighing on China Unicom's performance. China Unicom recently announced plans to sell about 100 million 4G devices next year. It will be interesting to see how it plans to do this considering that its 4G user base currently is negligible.

PCAA and PCAWV are one of the best voices on children's issues. It has been a pleasure to work with our state chapter of PCA and they seem to think highly of the national chapter. It only benefits the public to have a united voice working and standing together for the well-being of our children. Thank you for the work you do in WV and on the national level.

Gillian was allowed to sit out of the trial, forcing ITV to pay back the 50p each person who voted for her to do the trial paid.
Meanwhile Nigel Havers has been visibly miffed recently, he even said that finding a tick in his neck wasn't so bad as at least it gave him something to do. Nigel said, "Its becoming endless. Every day is like a year. I cant talk any small talk any more. I just cant do any more of it."
It then got worse when he found out that a Kangaroo Court task would involve electric shocks, Nigel fumed, "I dont do electric shocks so Im leaving. I cannot waste another second of my life."
So he left, came back, then left for good.
Such behaviour may cause you to wonder why he entered the jungle in the first place - surely he knew the whole point was that it was a pretty hard slog?
Nigel said just before going on the show, "I thought I would do a year of surprising people before I go back to doing straight theatre."
He continued, "My wife is furious I am doing it. She said I might not be back when you come out. She did everything she could to dissuade me not to do it. She cant believe I am that stupid. She thinks actors are pretty stupid. We just dont talk about it. She is going to Africa when this is happening."
Maybe he should have taken her advice all along? What do you think of I'm a Celeb so far? Who are you favourites and who can't you stand?

Seven Core Beliefs
We uphold these seven core beliefs as essential to the Christian faith. The eight-page Statement of Faith provides a more detailed outline of these beliefs.
We believe . . . that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
We believe . . . in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
We believe . . . in the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
We believe . . . that man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
We believe . . . the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are, therefore, in the right relationship with God.
We believe . . . in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
We believe . . . in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.

The Powys/Brecon Beacons region
Wales is a place of natural beauty and diversity. The north east of Wales features some traditional seaside towns and spectacular views and is a great place to stay. The West coast has some great coastal walks and lovely sandy beaches to discover. Surfing and dog walking is popular in this area. The north west has highlights including Mount Snowdon and the Isle of Anglesey in this magical part of Wales; you will find a break here relaxing or if you fancy going for a climb then it would be adventurous. The south coast of Wales has sandy beaches but also the benefit of access some of Wales' largest cities including the capital Cardiff. The Brecon Beacons are full of steep mountain escarpments, waterfalls and spectacular views. In mid Wales you will begin to discover the appeal of the Valleys. And finally, Pembrokeshire has jagged coastlines, secret bays and some of the finest coastal towns line this area and you can see why people return every year to holiday there.
Rhayader is a market town in Powys, Mid Wales, with a population of 2,075. It is the oldest town in Mid Wales, and has always been a natural stop off point for visitors to the region.

LONDON, November 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Big Data Partnership joins Microsoft Big Data Partner Incubation Program
Big Data Partnership, a leading 'Big Data' specialist service provider, today announced that it has been chosen as one of a few select organizations from around the world to participate in the Microsoft Big Data Partner Incubation Program. Big Data Partnership's participation in the program followed a rigorous nomination process that was supported by Microsoft SQL Server global marketing managers and industry leads.
Under this agreement, the two companies will work closely together to drive customer engagement and the roll-out of Microsoft HDInsight, which is Microsoft's distribution of Apache Hadoop for the Windows Azure and Windows Server platforms. Microsoft's HDInsight is an Enterprise-ready Hadoop service based on the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), enabling customers to seamlessly store and process data of all types, including structured, unstructured, and real-time data in order to achieve rich insights and drive operational efficiencies and increased revenue opportunities.
Big Data Partnership's inclusion on the Microsoft Big Data Partner Program will deliver many benefits to its clients; enabling them not only to understand the growing variety of the data but also to achieve simplified deployment of solutions via HDInsight.
"Big Data Partnership is excited to work with Microsoft to help accelerate the adoption of its big data solution in Enterprise," said Mike Merritt-Holmes, CEO at Big Data Partnership. "By combining the simplicity of Windows Server with the power and reliability of the Hortonworks Data Platform, we will be able to deliver compelling advanced analytics and ensure that a wider audience reap the benefits big data promises using the familiar tools of Excel, including PowerPivot and Power View. We commend Microsoft for their commitment and contribution to the open source Apache Hadoop community and for helping to democratize big data."
Big Data Partnership is a partner of both Microsoft and Hortonworks, the market-leading pioneer of Apache Hadoop. As a Hortonworks' Certified Training Partner, Big Data Partnership will also be delivering the 'Hortonworks Hadoop on Windows for Developers' training course for customers across Europe in early 2013.
"Microsoft HDInsight will allow customers to run Hadoop on Windows Server and on Windows Azure," said Bob Baker, Director, Microsoft Server and Tools Marketing. "Combined with the business intelligence capabilities of SQL Server 2012, HDInsight enables customers to obtain great insight from structured and unstructured data. We see the services market around these capabilities as growing rapidly, and Big Data Partnership is well positioned to execute. We are pleased that Big Data Partnership is supporting Microsoft HDInsight, and we are excited about the value this relationship will bring to our joint customers."

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

if you've been following my Instagram, you might have seen this fun sneak preview (involving the goofiest sweater of sweaters) of Target's newest collaboration. Last Sunday, Target launched its partnership with TOMS, one of the top socially conscious brands with a limited time offer gift collection. Like TOMS "one-for-one" model, with each gift purchased by Target shoppers, a gift will be made to a person in need. Donations include one of the following: one blanket via American Red Cross, one week of meals via Feeding America, or one pair of shoes via TOMS. So, shopping for yourself at Target can easily translate to giving back. Woo! I really love how the collection truly represents the TOMS brand and cannot wait to hop over to Target to scoop up a few pieces for myself! You might want to pounce on the collection, too. I hear they're selling out fast. But pssh, you can shop the entire collection online here and check out what everyone is saying about the collection with the hashtag #TOMSforTarget.
