Hey everyone this is my first post after reading all the helpful posts on the forum for a year now.
I got the Amex Prepaid card on 06/09/12 and spent a $1000 on it since then. I only got a prepaid because i heard about the "Make Your Move" progam they have. Last week on August 16th I received an invitation from Amex to apply for their Green Card. It said I was "Pre Selected". I applied right away and was instantly approved. I was denied in the past for a Zync card last summer in July and again for a Gold Card last December. So excited to join the Amex family. Here is some background
Age: 19, student at community college, unemployed with income. Filled in app as student with $12,000 income (parents give me $1000/month)
Credit history: Cap One Secured with $1000 limit - 1 year 2 months old when I applied
Had 3-5 inquiries on all three reports. Only 1 inquiry in last 6 months.
I had high balance of $750 a few months ago. But when i applied it was 7% Utilization.
I checked my TransUnion FICO here with myfico and was 743 the day before I applied. 728 on CreditKarma
Anyway really suprised i was approved. Thought i would share for those who are using the Amex Prepaid card to build a relationship with Amex and hopefully be invited to apply.
Wow great! Congrats! People are gonna love this.

Two Amex prepaid -> invitations.
Both with FICO's north of 700.
I mean no offense to anyone chasing this, but both candidates were pretty much guarunteed approvals for Amex charge cards anyway. I'm not very impressed if all they're going to do is offer charge cards to people who were likely qualified for revolvers anyway .
I agree. I think using preselector on Amex website will get you same result. Only thing interesting here isthat op has extremely thin file. Wonder if Amex has lowered standards.
I just got an invite to apply for Green, too. Of course, I already have one, so one has to wonder what kind of targetting they're really doing.

Isn't one year credit history to Amex charge card fairly common? That was the requirements on the old Discover More / Freedom / Delta Skymiles (at least several years ago when I got a pre-approval letter after my old secured card graduated). May still be the typical requirements for the above-mentioned cards, and arguably all three are better than a Green depending on spending profile.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Last-Minute Prom Dresses
When it comes to prom dress shopping, leaving everything to the eleventh hour can be a good thing, despite what those girls who've had dresses since November might say. Let them gloat about mapping their stiletto height, manicure color and lip gloss shine level around their dresses. Knowing what they plan to wear means you can buy something totally different instead—like one of the dresses in the slideshow below.
Whether floor length or mini, Betty Draper pink, or Daisy Buchanan drop-waisted, they all have one thing in common: each dress is currently available either in major department stores (Saks, Nordstrom) or popular chains (White House Black Market, J.Crew). Which means you can be in and out in 20 minutes flat—just maybe spend 2 minutes calling the store first to check availability—and reap the benefits of last minute prom dress shopping without paying hideous rush shipping fees.
Other girls might wear sequins, but they'll probably be in black, gold or silver, not orangey-greeny-red-iridescent.
There's something kind of laidback about this floaty, printed dress.
Oscar de la Renta-ish.
The requisite old Hollywood glamor option.
Wear it Rachel Zoe-style with bedhead and a snake bangle.
One of the more elegant backless options out there.
The watercolor print makes it look way more expensive than it is.
A good way to show off major, borrowed-from-your-Mom jewelry.
Elle Fanning would wear this with a high ponytail and quirky shoes.
With beading and feathers, it's a teensy bit Daisy Buchanan.
If you can't decide whether to go long or short, do both.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Even though she has barely reached legal drinking age, the cute and spry Kate Voegele has already accomplished much more than most other troubadours of her generation. In addition to scoring a regular spot on the CW soap opera One Tree Hill (portraying Mia), she's earned enough respect to share the stage with legends like Neil Young and Willie Nelson, to name a couple.
But don't think she got all this attention because of her obvious good looks (though let's face it, that does help). She's a skilled guitarist, pianist, and vocalist with chops well beyond her 21 years. Heartfelt emotion colors her songs, the best of which were recently released via MySpace Records on her debut disc, Don't Look Away. Many of her compositions take an ironic point of view on romantic disillusionment yet the music is still enjoyable throughout her album, especially when she brings forth influences from gospel and R&B. Consider this a hint that Voegele may be the next blue-eyed soul starlet of the pop world.

If you're making a Scrappy Plate Quilt, part three is ready to download. Just think, by next month you could have a finished quilt. Some are starting to show up on my Flickr group. Scrappy Plate Instructions Part Three My own Scrappy Plate quilt just came back from Lynne my quilter and just look the […]
Anne, It's beautiful — I'm starting a little late but I have my 24 fat quarters and my background fabric and I'm excited. Thanks for inspiring me to get going on this — A Dresden Plate quilt has been on my wish list for about 6 months now !!
Love the quilting and the colors !
This quilt (and the quilting!!!) is so beautiful!!! Ooooooh!!! So much gorgeous fun with fabric!!! I cantt wait to see all of it.
Oh My, your quilt is amazing. I love it!
Beautiful! What more is there to say?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Part 3 is here! Thanks Marcel…Thanks Anne..
Looks fantastic, Lynne did a great job of the quilting.
The quilting is amazing!! Of course, without an amazing quilt to start with, it wouldn't mean anything. Did you tell her what to do, or did she do what she thought was best?
So beautiful. I am just discovering your blog and so glad that I did. Now to see what else I can discover.
I have just started quilting about 6 months ago and I am hooked!
I lOVE the quilting in this dresden plate!! Beautiful!!
I was wondering what size quilt this pattern makes? I am going to start on one for my mom in April, she needs a queen size, and I was also thinking of making a border with either fabric with butterflies or quilted butterflies for the border? I'm not sure which would be best?
This will be my second full-size quilt.
Thank you so much for the Layer Cake fabrics! I won them on the Designer Mystery blog!
I'm so happy! i'll be starting this quilt later this week. I've got all my fabrics and my eazy Dresden template should be comming soon. Now to stock up on blades and I'll be all set. This is going to be such fun to make.
Love the quilting on your quilt.
This looks so pretty, Anne, and you have found a very talented quilter! I love what she's done, has really enhanced your beautiful blocks. I am still working on my hand applique and going rather slowly due to other commitments, but I'm working as time permits and hoping to catch up this month. I'm enjoying the process and love seeing the inspiration in the group, and that's the most important thing :)
Wow! The quilting in this is AMAZING!!! I have pegged this design idea for future reference and am looking forward to taking inspiration for my own quilting!! Always love a good dresden quilt!!!

Don Ash travels the world
Sunday, August 10, 2014
ROCHESTER — Don Ash, owner of Alliance Physical Therapy and former director of rehabilitation services at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, is unassuming and soft-spoken but passionate about his life-long career as a therapist. Few who know him realize he is an expert in a fascinating specialty within physical therapy that has taken him around the world
A few years ago, Ash, his wife Jill, and daughter Sarah, founded the Craniosacral Therapy Alliance, (www.CSTAlliance.com). The Alliance takes Ash around the world teaching doctors, nurses, chiropractors, physical and occupational therapists and others about the wide-ranging health benefits of CST. He offers a seven class curriculum leading to certification.
Research in stress and tension reduction techniques lead him to craniosacral therapy and his longtime teacher and friend, osteopathic physician John Upledger.
Ash said similar success has been experienced in older individuals with cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease.
Ash earned a bachelor of arts degree in psychology from Huron College and a certificate in physical therapy from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Allied Medical Professions. His daughter has a bachelor of science degree from Lyndon State College in Vermont and a degree in massage from Vermont Community College.

Pierce College 2012 Heard back yet? - page 2
Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has heard back from Pierce college yet about an interview...? They said they would be contacting people the beginning-mid September. Maybe I just didn't get a call back about getting an... Read More
- 0Sep 28, '12 by ksenakimYou are correct, the questions they asked were not knowledge based questions but were more critical thinking questions. One that I remember well had to do with the ethics of physician assisted suicide. That was a doozy. They aren't questions with necessarily right or wrong answers - there are just better thought-out answers.
- 0Oct 2, '12 by I'mherenowI thank you for answering my question. Another thing i'm curious about is there are 46 people total and only 30 are selected. The 16 that aren't selected probably didn't answer the questions properly but at the same time there is no right or wrong answer to the critical questions.
Are there any males enrolled in your program. I know the college liked diversity as well. A lot of these questions are just popping up in my head.
Do you have any advice you would give someone going in in a interview? How did you feel after the interview? Was it lengthy?
thank you

Arrow PaleyFest Panel Teases Black Canary, Mystery Guest Star and Moreby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The cast and producers of Arrow took PaleyFest by attractive storm last night, as Stephen Amell and company gave fans an idea of what to expect throughout the rest of Season 1.
Starting with the bombshell dropped at the end of "Dead to Rights." Tommy now knows the truth. The Hood is out of the bag. Where will things go from here?
It "changes everything," Amell said. "He saw me in the pilot kill three guys. And Tommy's a good guy, he doesn't want to have to reconcile that his friend would do that."
Among other scoops, spoilers and tidbits revealed during a fun Q&A:
- Katite Cassidy said Laurel's life will be shaken up by the arrival of her mom: "She kind of gets sucked in by her mother a bit... [she] also has a lot more information than you necessarily think."
- Producer Andrew Kreisberg teased Malcolm as an "evil Bruce Wayne" and previewed: "You find out a lot more about Malcolm and what's driving him, and about the very scary-sounding Undertaking."
- Yes, Laurel will turn into Black Canary, producer Marc Guggenheim assured attendees, but the evolution must be "earned," he said: "We don't want to disservice Laurel or Oliver by saying she could have a bad day, put on fishnets and start killing people."
- Kreisberg offered up this mysterious casting tease: "There is an episode coming up with somebody who is one of the stars of a very popular genre show that you will all recognize and be happy that they're on our show."
Who could that possibly be?!? We have until March 20 until a new Arrow episode airs. So let the guessing games begin!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Arrow, Spoilers, PaleyFest
Felicity is so hot, i'd want to meet her and ask her out.
Mystery guest? From Smallville? yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Justin Hartley.
Isn't Black Canary her mother's legacy? Maybe that's how Laurel assumes the mantle... I loved reading that Felicity was supposed to be a one-off character and that the fans had a lot to do with her becoming more of a regular. Also, Susanna Thompson looks a heck of a lot better than Katie Cassidy in that picture above.
I love this show too! I look forward to it every week and when it is off air for a few weeks I miss it.
Still think that this show s missing the Oliver - Laurel ship.
I really don't like dealing with ships in shows, but it really is missing here.. I hope the Black Canary thing will push this towards there..
I read elsewhere that they will never mention Gotham City or metropolis, which I find incredibly stupid and lame... that is like basing a show in San Diego yet never mentioning Los Angeles.
Can't wait to see how Laurel becomes the black canary it should be very interesting
I love the show. It got really intense! Besides the great as* kicking that is going on the character development is remarkable. Thumbs UP!
Laurel and Black Canary! I don't know how it will happen but I can't wait! I believe the show is going away from the supernatural it's just battling and archery.
Oli aka Arrow must to disappear so Laurel thinks she has to step up for the city.
I think the turning point for Laurel to become the Black Canary is either the death of Tommy or her father. I don't think it's something she'll just decide to do, so I am glad the producers are going to make the character earn it.

The book is not just definitive, as one would expect from the major London scholar of the past fifty years, it is also exceptionally entertaining . . . As Earle Labor makes clear in his fine biography, Jack London was a remarkable man and a writer of impressive variety, richness, and accomplishment." —Michael Dirda, Virginia Quarterly Review
"What a life. What a man. What a book. Only superlatives can describe this definitive biography of the nation's most popular and successful novelist of the early 20th century . . . Earle Labor has devoted much of a lifetime to the study of London and his works and has given us a book so meticulous in its fast-moving detail that the reader feels he is almost at London's side . . . Biographer Earle Labor summarizes Jack London succinctly: '… few writers mirror so clearly the American Dream of success and the corollary idea of the Self-Made Man.'" —Pete Hannaford, The Washington Times
"At long last, Jack London gets the authoritative biography he so richly deserves. Earle Labor is the true-blue dean of London studies. This portrait is brilliantly researched, elegantly written, and brimming with new facts about the brave author of The Call of the Wild. Highly recommended!"
—Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University, fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, and author of Cronkite
"There was a time—before the Great War and the frontier's closing drove the creative spark inward—when American novelists launched the reader off into unfettered narratives as raw, brawny, explosive, and drenched in gritty personal experience as the nation that inspired them. Jack London was among the last of the great ones. Now comes London's London, the biographer
Earle Labor, to turn the light of truth-telling back upon this magnificent half-forgotten outlaw of our literature." —Ron Powers, author of Mark Twain: A Life
"Not so long ago, Jack London was considered a literary titan and a great American hero akin to Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway—as famous for his wild adventures as for his bestselling books. Earle Labor's eloquent, deeply researched biography has brought London and his fascinating world back to life in all its vivid, colorful detail. This will stand as the definitive biography of London for many years to come." —Debby Applegate, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher
"In Jack London: An American Life, Earle Labor sifts through the myths of London's self-invented 'American Kipling' persona to reveal a remarkable and at times remarkably frustrating man. London was famously charismatic, but to those closest to him, he could be vindictively cruel. He was ambitious and productive—he published 50 books before he was forty, Call of the Wild when he was only 27, and wrote 1,000 words every day without fail—but was also a depressed and self-destructive alcoholic. He may have even been bipolar. Despite being the best-selling author of his day, London was constantly broke, often writing to pay his debts. He was an adventurer and thrill seeker, but also an ardent radical socialist. Labor captures all these facets of his, as his wife Charmian put it, 'kaledoscopic personality,' while still conveying his remarkable talent and obsessive self-improvement. The London in An American Life is as fascinating for his turmoil and dysfunction as he was in his time for his globetrotting and adventuring." —Thomas Flynn, The Daily Beast"Earle Labor, a scholar whose academic career focused on the life and works of Jack London, has written an exceptionally well-documented, and, if there is such a thing, authoritative biography of one of America's great writers . . . Labor, a professor emeritus of American literature at Centenary College of Louisiana and curator of a Jack London research center there, draws heavily from letters and diaries to tell London's life story in rich detail, with much attention to his declining health even as London pursued his final adventures. This biography is well-written, though not a breezy narrative, and should be satisfying to anyone who loved reading London's books." —David Shaffer, The Star-Tribune (Minneapolis) "[A] loving biography of the writer . . . Recognized as the dean of Jack London studies, Labor has been an active London scholar for 60 years, has edited volumes of his stories and letters, and curates the Jack London Museum in Shreveport, Louisiana . . . Labor's effort is likely to be as definitive a treatment as anyone needs . . . Earle Labor leads us skillfully through the many 'stories' that constituted London's life: working as an adolescent in a cannery and as an 'oyster pirate' on Oakland's waterfront; going on a seal hunt in the Bering Sea; riding the rails across America, with an interlude of 30 days spent in the Erie County Penitentiary for vagrancy; finding out how the poor live in London's East End; joining the gold rush to the Klondike; running for mayor of Oakland on the Socialist ticket; sailing to the South Pacific and visiting Robert Louis Stevenson's grave in Samoa; observing cannibals in the Solomon Islands." —William H. Pritchard, The Weekly Standard
"In this comprehensive account, more richly detailed than any prior biography of Jack London, Earle Labor debunks common myths. This is a London revealed by his personal writings, along with accounts from those who knew him best. Labor's crisp prose quotes extensively, allowing the reader to interpret the full character of this noted writer, rancher, and traveler. In placing London within the context of the tumultuous Progressive Era, Labor further explains the contradictory choices and beliefs of this complex individual. The result limns a portrait of a brilliant, creative, sensitive yet self-assured man who died prematurely, on the cusp of still greater offerings." —Clarice Stasz, author of Jack London's Women
"This engrossing biography paints a sympathetic (though not uncritical) portrait of London's dynamic ambition and energy. Born in San Francisco in 1876 to an impoverished single mother, London (White Fang) took up factory work to support his household while still a child, and by age 18 had worked as an oyster pirate, sailor, and rail-riding hobo. Omnivorous reading and sporadic education fueled his desire to write, and a year spent surviving the Yukon Gold Rush (1897–1898) provided him with inspiration for his earliest nonfiction and fiction. As rendered by Labor (The Portable Jack London), London's official biographer and curator of the Jack London Museum in Shreveport, La., London was a complex and often contradictory individual—a writer who turned every experience into literary fodder; who disciplined himself to produce 1,000 words per day; and whose by-his-bootstraps lifestyle fueled his devotion to socialism and social justice. But London's enthusiasms also had their dark side: he was a reckless spendthrift who had to churn out mountains of copy for pay to stay ahead of his creditors; he was an incautious celebrity whose public exploits often made him tabloid fodder; and he was a free spirit who could be self-destructive at times. Here, London emerges as a rugged adventurer with a soft heart, and a larger-than-life character who might have figured as the hero in one of his own brawny bestsellers." —Publishers Weekly
"[Jack London] may prove the definitive biography of the sailor-adventurer-prospector turned rancher-author . . . The biography delivers a riveting portrait of his subject, drawing on letters and reminiscences of brawls and drinking incidents from London's youth . . . The incidents in London's life are delivered in a literate, colorful and compelling manner . . . The new work further cements Labor's place, and Shreveport's, in the world of Jack London studies. A fixture at the local college more than 50 years, Labor's efforts and scholarship and the largesse of the late alumnus-trustee Samuel Peters brought to Centenary the Jack London Research Center, drawing students, scholars and Londonistas from around the globe." —John Andrew Prime, The Shreveport Times
"I rarely read biographies such as this—accurate, gripping, written like an adventure book but always with an understated sense of reality that reminds the reader this really happened." —Davide Sapienza, Italian translator of Feltrinelli's edition of Call of the Wild
"Quite a few books have been published recently about Jack London's fabulous life, but Earle Labor's Jack London: An American Life is undoubtedly the definitive biography. Written by the internationally acknowledged maestro of Jack London studies, the book demonstrates both the detailed scholarly documentation and the intelligent empathy with London's complex mindset that one has missed in previous biographies (which, incidentally, have also been vitiated by sensationalist canards about London's alleged drug addiction, homosexuality, and suicide)." —Per Serritslev Petersen, University of Aarhus, Denmark
"[Labor's] affectionate, meticulous and beautifully written Jack London: An American Life . . . [is] the definitive biography of the iconic 'American Kipling.'" —Tom Lavoie, Shelf Awareness
"If any biography [of Jack London] is definitive, it is probably Labor's . . . Jack London lived to the fullest, saying, 'We only live once, and we'll be dead a long time.' People will be reading him, and about him, for a long time." —Bruce Ramsey, The Seattle Times"In Earle Labor's biography of the literary icon, Jack London: An American Life, London comes across as a complex, larger-than-life man. Dozens of biographies have covered London's life and work, but Labor's is an especially well-balanced, thoughtful and definitive account." —Leslie Ashmore, Los Altos Town Crier

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
By embracing change in her own life, my client taught her students a lesson that went beyond reading and writing.
MY HOME HEALTH CARE nursing supervisor said, "Lois, we have a new referral who sounds challenging. She has multiple sclerosis, and she just finished treatment for deep vein thrombosis. She hasn't been out of bed for 5 months, and I hear that she's demanding and depressed. Can you see her tomorrow?"
"Of course," I replied. Clients with both physical and psychological issues had always interested me, and Irma Higgins was no exception.
When I went to her home the next morning, her husband Jim greeted me at the door and led me in. Irma sat propped up in her hospital bed in one corner of the living room, which overflowed with colorful children's books.
Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she told me, "I didn't want you to come, but Dr. Trent insisted. He says that I can't stay in bed all the time. I wish I could still hide under the covers like a little girl!!"
I squeezed her hand. "I'm here to try to make things better. We'll work out a plan together." As I did my initial assessment, Irma told me she used to be an elementary-school teacher. She described herself as someone from the "old school," a taskmaster of sorts.
Often I consoled her while she cried about her illness and the burden she was to her husband, who spent hours every day taking care of her and the house. At other times, she yelled at him when things weren't perfect.
But she never had this sad and angry mind-set on Monday or Wednesday afternoons. On those days, she sat up in bed, dolled herself up, and put on her bifocals. Jim put chairs on each side of her bed and a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the bedside stand. These were her "school days," when she tutored four second graders.
When the kids came in, Irma hugged each one and asked, "What special thing happened to you today?" Then she gave each child crayons and paper and said, "Draw a picture and write about it." Next, they'd choose books to read together.
I can still see the children's fingers following the lines on the page as they read. "Sound it out now," she'd coach them. "Make the M sound. That's right." Eventually all four children would crowd around her bed, before ending their class with cookies and milk.
After the children left, she'd be exhausted. "Brush the cookie crumbs out of the bed," she demanded. "I don't know why I keep tutoring. It makes my muscles tense to have the kids crowd around my bed, and they leave such a mess behind. I'm always so tired afterward. I should just stop."
I took a chance and asked, "How about getting out of bed for your classes? The physical therapist can get us equipment to help you sit in your wheelchair. You can put the bedside table right in front of you. The kids will be so excited."
"No, I don't think so, Lois. It would be too hard."
"Just think about it," I replied. "See you next week."
When I arrived on Friday, I was surprised to find Irma smiling. "Maybe you're right about sitting up to tutor," she said. "Maybe I can teach the children something more important than reading."
"Yes," I said. "Maybe that's your special calling."
One day Irma was sitting in her wheelchair when I arrived. She said, "I can't believe how good it feels. I can sit for only 5 or 10 minutes now, but every day it'll get better."
The therapist and Irma worked diligently for 3 weeks to increase her endurance. Finally, she was ready for the kids.
When they walked through the door, they were astonished. "Wow, Mrs. Higgins, you're getting better!!" they clamored. "Why did you decide to sit in your wheelchair?"
She paused, waiting for them to quiet down. "We can study better this way," she said. "It's easier for us to write and follow the words with our fingers. Sometimes if we have a problem, we have to work harder and that makes what we do more special. I've worked hard to do my exercises every day, just like I want you to work hard on your reading every day."
"You're like us," said one boy. "We have reading exercises, and you have arm and leg exercises."
"Yes," Irma smiled. "You have it, in a nutshell."
I looked at the little group and thought, May I live my own life with as much courage in the face of adversity, Irma. I'll never forget you.

Haitian nationals are deforesting and burning Loma Isabel de Torres in Dominican Republic to make furnaces for the production of charcoal to be sold in haiti
". . . . column of smoke stacks are caused by Haitian nationals who are deforesting and pillaging the natural reserve to build ovens to produce charcoal to be sold in markets in Port-au-Prince."
PUERTO PLATA.- For several days, citizens have warned a column of smoke coming from the trees in Loma Isabel de Torres nature reserve, which has raised concerns under the indifferent gaze of environmental authorities in this town.
According to this picture in two sheds which was published by the graduate Niel Eory Torress in his Facebook account you can see clearly the row of smoke stack that is seen nearly every Thursday from 4:00 in the afternoon in Loma Isabel de Torres.
The situation has been going on unchallenged for more than month. This report has been informed by residents of the areas of the southern part of this city, which have stated that the column of smoke stacks are caused by Haitian nationals who are deforesting and pillaging the natural reserve to build ovens to produce charcoal to be sold in markets in Port-au-Prince.
Also it was noted that this issue was notified to the local representatives of the Ministry of environment and natural resources who stated that they would start an investigation into that case, but again the smoke plume was seen on the afternoon of Tuesday, which ironically on that date it was celebrated around the world as 'Earth Day'.
Citizens who gave their opinion on this case pointed out that, the fact that Haitian nationals, who are pillaging the vegetation of the Loma Isabel de Torres natural monument in the city of Puerto Plata calls for concern and attention. Officials for the environment and ecological crimes are letting this situation to be carried out unpunished under the noses and gaze of the population of this community.

It's been five amazing years for Words With Friends, Zynga's flagship word game and one of the best approximations of Scrabble you can get your hands on these days. I'm a big fan of the game (and feel free to start a game with me) and while I'm not the best WWF player, I'm very enthusiastic and have anywhere from 5 to 10 games going at any one time. I must not be alone, because Zynga has released a lot of fun facts about just how much people love their word game.
There have been 58 billion words played in the game, with players running up 1.2 trillion points. In the 7.7 million games played, 217 billion letters have been used. Amazingly, there are 5,478 words that have only been used once (though I'm sure that's going to chance now that people know the words are out there). The most popular words are qi, it, he, re, and jo.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go. I've got several games waiting on me, and I'm itching to try out my new letters.Technorati Tags: five years of words with friends, word games, words, Words with Friends, words with friends facts, words with friends trends, WWF, wwf trends, zynga

Finnish developers Frozenbyte pride themselves on originality, but Trine prompts obvious comparisons with LittleBigPlanet. Both are scrolling platformers with physics-based puzzles – even Trine's voice-over is reminiscent of Stephen Fry's musings. Playing alone, you'll need to cycle through the three character classes, using their special abilities to get through the levels set in a traditional, though well-realised world with some gorgeous lighting effects.
The puzzles are fun and inventive, and whether you're playing on your lonesome or in three-player local co-op, you'll get plenty of enjoyment out of Trine. That said, the combat soon becomes repetitive and casts an unfortunate shadow over the remainder of the game. It's a shame – this would have been better if it focused on its strengths and kept the battling as a side-note. Still, well worth a download, even though it comes in at a slightly inflated price.

Studio recordings that Jimi Hendrix made between 1965 and 1967 during his stint with the R&B group Curtis Knight and the Squires are finally set to see the light of day.
The masters include a live performance recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey in December 1965, as well as Curtis Knight and the Squires' recordings with Hendrix in 1967 after the Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut, Are You Experienced, came out.
Legacy and Experience Hendrix plan on releasing properly mixed, mastered and annotated versions of these recordings in new editions under the direction of longtime Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer over the next three years.
The release of the material was made possible after the rights to the songs were acquired by the family's music company, Experience Hendrix LLC, and Sony Music's catalog division, Legacy Recordings.

Medina Township Road Levy Renewal (August 2012)
A Medina Township Road Levy Renewal measure was on the August 7, 2012 ballot in the township of Medina, which is in Lenawee County.
This measure was approved
This measure sought to renew the current road levy which is set at a rate of $2 per $1,000 of assessed value for a further four years in order to continue to pay for maintenance cots of roads in the township.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
|Shall the Township of Medina renew the levy of 2 mills ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) for four years: 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 inclusive, for the maintenance of Medina Township secondary roads and bridges? One mill equals an estimated $45,408.68 as of the collection per year for Medina Township, thereby raising in the first year an estimated amount of $90,817.36.[3]

This game is like a classic novel.
It's not very interesting and difficult to comprehend at the beginning, but it gets interesting and exciting at the end. I got all the achievements by using my secret strategy: press one arrow key when a toaster appears, then rapidly press the other. However, there are some ambiguous sections of the plot. If Weegee trained under Chuck Norris, why is Mr. T giving the instructions? Is Weegee fighting Malleo, a possessed Mario, or the heroic plumber himself? Where is Weegee's body? Please explain.
Chuck Norris gave Weegee the potential. However it's up to YOU, the player, to help Weegee stand victorious. Mr.T is there for the player and not Weegee. =)
Weegee is fighting the bad pun-possessed Mario and his accomplice the King.

Craziness I can get behind
I once told a user of TGF2 that they restored my faith in people actually using the program to make decent, interesting games and not crappy block-breaker, chocobreak clones. You have reinforced my faith. To one this may seem like a mess of random memes and the like, but knowing the time it takes to program with TGF2, it is epic to me. Love the music, the graphics, although unoriginal, fit the randomness. It's fun, it's a challenge, it better get a good rating. Great job.

User (computing)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2010)
A user is a person who uses a computer or network service. A user often has a user account and is identified by a username (also user name). Other terms for username include login name, screen name (also screenname), nickname (also nick), or handle, which is derived from the identical Citizen's Band radio term.
Users generally use a system without the technical expertise required to understand it fully,[1] while power users use advanced features of programs.
In projects in which the actor of the system is another system or a software agent, it is quite possible that there is no end-user for the system.
End user[edit]
The term end user refers to the ultimate operator of a piece of software, but it is also a concept in software engineering, referring to an abstraction of that group of end users of computers (i.e. the expected user or target-user). The term is used to distinguish those who only operate the software from the developer of the system, who knows a programming language and uses it to create new functions for end users.
This abstraction is primarily useful in designing the user interface, and refers to a relevant subset of characteristics that most expected users would have in common. In user-centered design, several fictional Personas are created to represent the archetypal end users, which may include differences concerning which computer interfaces with which each persona is comfortable (due to experience or their inherent simplicity), and the persona's technical expertise and degree of knowledge in specific fields or disciplines.
When few constraints are imposed on the end-user category, especially when designing programs for use by the general public, it is common practice to expect minimal technical expertise or previous training in end users.[2] In this context, easy-to-learn GUIs (possibly with a touchscreen) are usually preferred to more sophisticated command line interfaces for the sake of usability.
The end-user development discipline blurs the typical distinction between users and developers. It designates activities or techniques in which people who are not professional developers create automated behavior and complex data objects without significant knowledge of a programming language.
A user's account allows a user to authenticate to system services and be granted authorization to access them; however, authentication does not imply authorization. To log into an account, a user is typically required to authenticate oneself with a password or other credentials for the purposes of accounting, security, logging, and resource management.
Once the user has logged on, the operating system will often use an identifier such as an integer to refer to them, rather than their username, through a process known as identity correlation. In Unix systems, the username is correlated with a user identifier or user id.
Computer systems are divided into two groups based on what kind of users they have:
- Single-user systems do not have a concept of several user accounts.
- Multi-user systems have such a concept, and require users to identify themselves before using the system.
Each user account on a multi-user system typically has a home directory, in which to store files pertaining exclusively to that user's activities, which is protected from access by other users (though a system administrator may have access). User accounts often contain a public user profile, which contains basic information provided by the account's owner.
While most user accounts are intended to be used by only a single person, many systems have a special account intended to allow anyone to use the system, such as the username "anonymous" for anonymous FTP and the username "guest" for a guest account.
In some online communities, usernames are used as nicknames for the account holders. In some cases, a user may be better known by their username than their real name, such as CmdrTaco (Rob Malda), founder of the website Slashdot.
Some usability professionals have expressed their dislike of the term "user", proposing it to be changed.[3] Don Norman stated that "One of the horrible words we use is "users". I am on a crusade to get rid of the word "users". I would prefer to call them "people"."[4]

On one of my first nights as an adult living in Japan in 2000 (I'm a half-Japanese American), I was walking home along a narrow side street in Osaka when I encountered a scuffle. An older man in a rumpled dress shirt hovered over a skinny boy with blue jeans and magenta-dyed hair. The kid's bicycle was on the pavement nearby. The older guy, his face crimson, reared back and kicked the boy hard, shouting out the word baka—"idiot" or worse, depending on the context.
I would later learn that acts of cross-generational conflict were fast becoming commonplace in Japan. So much so that certain terms, such as oyaji-gari, or "old man hunting," had entered the language in the late 1990s, when gangs of young boys were found to be attacking middle-age businessmen just for the thrill of it. In this case, the middle-age man was fighting back.
Japan has developed strict codes of etiquette to enforce social harmony, but recently the nation has developed a massive and widening generation gap. Japanese media have been highlighting the chasm between hip and fashionable youngsters and their parents, who seem willfully humorless and clueless about how to handle them.

Fagus grandifolia
American Beech
Deciduous, Trees
Of the beeches described here, European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is by far the most widely grown. The species differ very little except in leaf details. Capable of growing to 90 ft. tall and 50 ft. wide, but are usually much smaller. Typically have a broad cone shape, with wide, sweeping lower branches that can reach the ground unless pruned off. Smooth gray bark contrasts well with the glossy dark green foliage. In fall, leaves first take on a bronze to red-brown color, then turn brown; many hang on the tree well into winter. Lacy branching pattern and pointed leaf buds provide an attractive winter silhouette. New foliage has a silky sheen. Little three-cornered nuts enclosed in spiny husks are edible, but too small to be of value; they often fail to fill, especially on solitary trees.Fagus grandifolia

From Gailya Paliga, President of NC National Organization for Women:
Last Friday, I believed that Governor Pat McCrory was a mature adult who could make educated decisions. That he would read and discuss the bills put before him and consider their effects on real peoples lives. That he would consult with experts on both sides.
In an attempt to get his attention, Planned Parenthood organized two days of vigil across from the governors mansion. A mature leader would have invited the leaders to a meeting and listened to their concerns about the abortion legislation in SB353. The protesters included some of the states best minds on how this bill could hurt women. The two sides may not have agreed, but the governor would have real information to consider before making major policy changes.
Instead, he went out of his way to insult the protesters. Monday night after he signed the abortion restrictions into law, he waved at the many protesters from his balcony. Then, just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, he and his bodyguards brought a tray of cookies to us.
Seriously. He gave them to one of the younger women in our crowd and she tried to give them back.
He doesnt understand that cookies are not the answer. He should have talked to us weeks ago. He could have learned many things, such as:
1. Closing clinics is not better for women. The law contains Targetted Regulation of Abortion Providers rules that that are costly and cosmetic, requiring clinics to widen hallways, doorways and even entrance awnings.
2. It gives strangers an excuse to question every womans personal decision to have an abortion and threatens physicians with lawsuits based on their answers, thanks to the section prohibiting abortions done for sex-selection.
3. It allows any health care provider to opt out of participating in abortion procedures.
4. It requires physicians to be present for the entire procedure, even if the doctor would not be in the room during a comparable medical procedure. This is a deliberate move to waste doctors time.
5. It tells insurance companies what they can and cant cover by prohibiting coverage of abortion from health care packages including for city and county employees. They also cut abortion out of the coming federal exchange.
The abortion bill is cruelty couched as care. Does our governor understand that?
What a disappointment.

Aw-Inspiring Video: Sea Lion Worries When Little Girl Falls
Originally published on Sun May 19, 2013 6:28 am
By Mark Memmott
Take a break from the scandal du jour for something that's just darn nice.
A little girl was running in circles at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., this week. On the other side of a window, a sea lion was mimicking her moves — playing something of a game of tag without the tagging part.
Until, that is, the little miss tripped and fell. We think you'll enjoy the sea lion's reaction.
Ariel Myren, the "actress/singer/future comedian" who posted the video, has a bit more in another clip here.
