With Topps' first official minor league baseball card release set to arrive this week, the company helped usher in its MiLB cards with its announcement that it is adding eTopps to the fold as well.
The first public offerings for eTopps minor league cards are of New York Yankees prospect Jesus Montero and Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Pedro Alvarez. Each card will be limited to just 749 cards with an IPO price of $4 per card.
Topps will only issue a player on a minor league card once and will award eTopps users who own eTopps Minor League cards of players who are named the MVP of their respective league's 2010 All-Star Game with reward points which can be used to receive other prizes. The eTopps users who own a card of a player who is called up to the majors for the first time between April and August will receive points, too.

This is so quick, easy, & delicious! I double the amount of nuts; & add raisins.
alncec 29 Jun, 2010
I have made this several times, and my family loves it. I have caught a couple of them eating it as a snack. I think that the maple syrup really makes a difference.
Tonycow 1 Jun, 2010
This is my favourite granola! I make it with organic old fashioned oats - really good. Use lighter maple syrup not the dark one as they leave an unpleasant taste. Don't leave out the salt as it adds huge flavour.
naanie 16 May, 2010
This is a delicious recipe; I have made it often and I love eating it. I personally recommend stirring the granola halfway through baking, so that the mixture around the edges doesn't burn.

More Ideas
- Introduce the idea of evening after-dinner walks with the family. What a great time to catch up with each other, enjoy the outdoors and develop a healthy habit!
- A business in town will be rewarding their employee participants with a pizza party! Why not reward great behavior?!
- Go to the HELP Shelter and walk a dog. They'll be thrilled to spend time with you!
- Check out the Whitewater Gorge Trail (jump on at N 3rd St.). While you're there, check out the "new" Family Fitness Works facility- much of the building was repurposed from parts of the old hospital!
- Walk Uptown Richmond. We are so fortunate to have a very walk-able downtown area. New stores seem to be popping up frequently, so take a stroll! You can end your walk at the Clear Creek Co-op- they just moved to 710 East Main St. Grab a healthy drink or snack!
- Own a business? Challenge your office to "hike and bike themselves healthy" this summer and offer a great incentive to the winner (example: paid day off, lunch coupons, etc.). Healthy employees = lower healthcare costs!
- Knock on a neighbor's door and ask them to join you. Use your walk to get to know one another better!
- Stories about your experience? Have something to share with us? Send them to us! And photos too! We'd love to hear about it!
- Check out this site for LOTS of info on walking, nutrition, motivation, etc: http://www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html

WHAM13 - Search Results
"So glad I got my horse out of there"
Henrietta, N.Y. -- A young woman from Henrietta bought a horse months ago from the farm in Sodus at the center of an animal cruelty investigation.
Victoria Rhinehart named the horse Polaris, and said she fell in love with her horse's blue eyes.
"(I'm) so glad I got my horse out of there because she's like my best friend," she said.
A couple of weeks ago, Wayne County investigators found two dead horses and 16 others in poor shape. They also seized a pony, cows and birds.
On Friday, the owner of the farm on North Centenary Road, Cindy Denninger, turned herself into police.
She was charged with 15 counts of animal cruelty and, as of Sunday, was still being held at the Wayne County Jail.
Rhinehart told 13WHAM the horses appeared to have been fed in November when she bought Polaris, but she noticed the farm was a bit off.
"The barn was awful and it was really bad living conditions," she said. "They fed them like cooked corn mash stuff. I didn't know what was in it, but I knew it was corn. They couldn't explain what size hay flake they used or type of flakes they used for hay."
Investigators said veterinarians are keeping a very close eye on all the horses that were seized. They are trying to determine if there were any underlying issues with the animals, or if they were simply in bad health because of malnourishment and lack of care.
Lollypop Farm is watching over 15 of the horses. One was taken in with a broken leg. Lollypop said that horse is doing better, but is concerned about long-term effects.
Lollypop is also closely monitoring two horses. One came in with a fresh injury, and another horse has colic. Colic is known to be the most-common killer of horses.
Cracker Box Palace is also taking care of one horse and several of the other animals that were seized.

The 'Sort by' text will not be shown as a button will be going there, but I will change refresh to Rafraichir, cheers.
I don't use a zip.dat file, I can convert GPS to Zip and Zip to GPS via websites. cheers.
It is not possible to create one plugin for all countries like I have with TrafficCams, as the available information for all the different countries varies sooooo much it would get really complicated.
Also just getting a website that has the basic requirements is proving very, very difficult.

Monitoring LAN devices with Perl
They say darkness is the friend of thieves, but the Perl daemon in this month's column illuminates dastardly deeds, exposing hidden activities and alerting the admin when things seem to be going awry.
Users normally don't get to see what's going on under the covers of a LAN. One hidden activity is packet addressing on the last hop of a route, which includes discovering a device's unique MAC address to match an IP address. This activity is the domain of the ARP protocol. Watching all MAC addresses currently in use can lead to interesting conclusions about who is using or abusing a local network.

[Begin VIDEO with Kristin Arnold, Bankrate.com anchor introducing the video topic]
INTRO: Investing for retirement is never simple or predictable. And if you have more than one investment option, like a 401(k) and an IRA, you might be confused as to which one you should fund first. There's no one-size-fits-all answer ... but to help give us some insight is Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com.
[Cut to a double screen of Kristin Arnold and Senior Financial Analyst for Bankrate.com, Greg McBride]
Kristin Arnold: Greg, let's start with a quick explanation of both 401ks and IRAs.
Greg McBride: A 401k is a workplace retirement program where money is automatically deducted from your paycheck and invested for retirement. Now, typically this money comes out before taxes and then you pay taxes when you withdrawal that money in retirement. Some employers offer what is known as a Roth 401k option whereby you contribute money after taxes, but your withdrawals in retirement are tax free. Now, with an IRA, this is something you set up on your own ... with a bank, a brokerage or a mutual fund company and you have the option of contributing pre-tax money - to what is known as a traditional IRA or after-tax money to what is known as a Roth IRA.
Kristin Arnold: How do people with limited dollars to save decide whether to fund a 401k or an IRA first?
Greg McBride: The important is ... it's not either or, you can do both. But, what's the pecking order? Start by taking advantage of the free money. If there's an employer match in your 401k, first you want make sure you contribute enough to take advantage of that ... you don't want to pass up free money. Secondly, if you're eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA ... and that's based upon income, then focus on contributing the maximum there. You're withdrawals in retirement will be tax-free. Now, if you get to the point where you've done both of those and you still have more money to invest, your third option then is to go back to the that 401k and increase the annual contributions ... the maximum limit on the 401k is a lot higher than what you've already put into your IRA.
[Cut to one-shot of Kristin on camera]
TAG: Good information, Greg ... Thank you. You should always research your investment options before investing ... to do that, just log onto Bankrate.com. I'm Kristin Arnold.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 551
Rated 1 out of 5 by LoyalCustomer1980 Horrible experience
Very disapointing. Don't use the dry cleaning service!
The hotel destroyed my suit when using the dry cleaning service. It came back shrunk and stinking of chemicals. The TV and internet also did not work in the hotel. The General Manager is rude, unhelpful and dishonest in his approach to remunerating me for destroying my personal property and acknowledging the hotel did anything wrong. He wasted a lot of my time. I have never been treated so poorly by a Starwood employee since joining the preferred guest club.

We were in town to see a family member in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, so we had no choice on dates and knew that we were going to be limited on options at a reasonable price. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. Great location, friendly staff, hot showers, good coffee in the lobby, and a gym. We had a great time.

Even though my business would pay for a more expensive hotel, I prefer staying here for three reasons.....staff, staff, and staff.

This hotel take my word for it is the best!!!
I have decided that the smallest thing causes people to complain about a hotel making a person going there to reconsider the hotel. This hotel is amazing and the staff is super nice. The rooms are beautiful and quite big. The hotel itself is safe (this is Times Square afterall!!) and located around everything!! I love that the staff treats you personally and with respect...imagine coming to New York a very big city and being treated like one of their own. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Thanks Sheraton!! I have many memories of my New York trip....the hotel was definitely one of my favorite memories!!! Thanks Sheraton

I chose the hotel based primarily on location. The specific location isn't great, but the general location met my needs. I had a prepaid room, no refunds. When I arrived, however, they did not have the room configuration I ordered and paid for. Which I later learned, upon reading other review sites, is not all that unusual. Unfortunately it was 11:30 at night and the neighborhood is not one I'd like to be strolling about at that hour toting luggage while looking for a room. Lousy night.
Service in the restaurant was painfully slow. Food was acceptable, not great. Attempted to speak with a manager, none was available as they were all "in a meeting." (also a common theme, it appears). I did return later and did speak with a manager. I requested a refund and they tried to give me starwood points instead. I did finally get a refund, but would have preferred a good night's sleep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cowboy33 I love this hotel and the staff
I am so excited to be back at the 4 points tonight I couldn't wait for the stay to be over to write my review. I have almost 1000 nights in NYC the past 7 years and have stayed all over but have not yet found a hotel staff, from GM and AGM to front desk to cook to house keeping to maintenance that can hold a candle to the four points. Its not even close. I actually checked out of another hotel early when a good rate came available here (thanks Anna for checking). I can't say enough about my home away from home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brownie27 Great place to stay in the heart of NYC
Overall, I am pleased with my stay. The staff was outstanding. The hotel was conveniently located just footsteps from Times Square. Room was a little tight but this was expected. Only minor issues were that the shower door did not have a seal at the bottom which caused the floor to get soaked after showering and that I was told that parking in the lot next door would cost $28/day when it actually costed $38/day. I was told this was because I had a SUV (Nissan Rogue). My SUV took up no more room than any of the other cars and fit fine in the bays. This place gets a two thumbs up from me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by pandorama a gem for NYC
We came for a few days to play in NYC and were completely happy with the hotel experience, although having stayed here, I would also choose it if I had business nearby. I've stayed elsewhere in the city and it is really hard to find decent hotels for a decent price. The restaurant was fabulous, the coffee was hot and tasty, although it would have been nice if coffee were available all day, not just 'til about noon. Can't say enough great things about the staff--absolutely everyone we encountered was cheerful, friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AttorneyTim Not a Level 5
This is a good solid midtown hotel but doesn't match the level 5 of the Westin Times Square just around the corner...only 3 elevators for a 35 story bldg...staff was extremely nice but my platinum upgrade was lacking on a night that the hotel was defintely nowhere near full...they gave me a room with a view...basic room...northside...not an upgrade...great parking price about 100 yards away...not the best street...the NY Parole Board is next door and parolees line the street in the morning...but you are in the middle of everything and location does matter....rooms are typically NY small but clean...the faucets in the bathrooms look great but work less that ideal...all in all...a decent SPG property but not a Level 5

Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen730 This hotel was fantastic!
Perfect location for a theater weekend! All staff was extremely friendly and accommodating - a special thanks to The bellman who took tremendous care of us from the moment we pulled up to the time we left! Front desk staff were also very professional and represented your hotel with the utmost professionalism. We had a cocktail after the show - very attentive bartender! When we come back for a show, there is no doubt that we will stay at FourPoints again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by counter896 Great Experience
I booked a stay to celebrate my daughter's tenth birthday. We were greeted warmly by the staff, in particular, Angie and Sarah. The room was on an upper floor with a nice view of the city. My daughter really liked that we could see the Empire State Building from our room. The beds were very comfortable and the room was immaculate.
I read a few reviews in Yelp which were less than complimentary and have been left wondering if they stayed at the same hotel I stayed in. The entire experience was wonderful and I will certainly return there

Rated 5 out of 5 by mzmary13 Pleasantly surprised!
This cozy spot was the perfect place to stay while undergoing medical treatment. The room was quiet, spotless and efficient; the staff very helpful and pleasant to deal with; food available in-house was convenient and delicious. The hotel was close to many attractions within walking distance and the staff was more than happy to make excellent recommendations for dining and entertainment. In room water, tea and coffee service was used every day and greatly appreciated.
All in all, a very pleasant surprise and a great experience.

Rated 2 out of 5 by K1224 Dirty and Next to Parole Office
Room was dirty and small- coffee maker was stuffed in the closet and there were no extra blankets etc available in the closet- one dirty robe available in a room with three guests listed. Lights need to warm up before they get bright (so you have a dark bathroom for a while!) the carpet is gross and the sheets (1) do not fit the bed correctly (2) had the occasional suspicious stain and (3) the comforter had tons of pulled threads and pills. And the cherry on top is that the hotel is right next to the NYC parole office! Lovely.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Regularstay Clean, simple and convenient
This hotel is close to all the activity, yet in a convenient, but has less activity. the rooms are clean and have the basics, but are small. We have stayed here several times if in city for a short period of time. I had an incident in the restaurant where food was on chair and got all over my clothes. the hotel staff was wonderful and payed for my breakfast. They are very accommodating.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Momof2 Not what we expected
We re Starwood Members and have for the most part always had good experiences with the hotels. This hotel however we won't be returning to. The area was sketchy (we have two children). The greyhound station was across the street, adult books on the same street as the hotel and the parole building 3 doors down. Not an area for children or adults. We didn't feel safe. As for the hotel, the staff was friendly but the rooms were not cleans. Old dirty carpeting, SMALL room and tiny batjroom. Not a comfortable stay:(

Rated 3 out of 5 by BookGal People make the difference
Hotels in mid-town Manhattan (just a few blocks from Times Square) are basically all the same: kind of worn, kind of loud, kind of crowded. The fitness center has old but functional equipment and some of the dumbells are missing. (Bonus points because you can turn the radio off!) This Four Points location was perfectly acceptable.
BUT the difference is the staff. Every single person from the check-in desk to the valet guy to the wait and housekeeping staff were polite, friendly and efficient.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jessie13 Excellent Service
Room was clean and stylish but small. This is NYC so they can't be faulted for size. Location-so close to Times Square but without crowds or noise. Its the cleanliness and the staff that would bring me back again and again. Kudos to engineer Louis who came to make a minor adjustment in our room and then went so above and beyond when a/c was acting up-taking care of our families needs. Kevin was helpful and courteous with checkin. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Thank you! We will be back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jhhag Location and Service top notch!
We could not have chosen a better location for our 2 day stay in Manhattan. Just about everything is within walking distance. The big winner here is the service! What accommodating , friendly, efficient staff on every level, especially SPG desk and concierge , Kirstin. Rooms are updated (albeit "New York Style", i.e. small) bathroom has excellent lighting, glassed walk-in-shower. "Restaurant" nothing much but OK for quick breakfast.Rates are moderate. Definite "stay again" property.

Rated 4 out of 5 by md20685 Worthwhile
Staying in the city can be stressful when traveling with kids. Having a late check out made all the difference on the last day of our trip. Being able to see sites in the city and THEN relax in our hotel room, made our memory of the trip a positive one. The staff was completely friendly, even with the busy reception area. They even went beyond the call of duty to help get a toy purchased work. We definitely would stay here again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Rocky123 My Stay at Four Points TSQ
Other than location of the hotel (i.e. close proximity to Time Square and Penn Station), I didn't find this hotel was a good value for the money. The entrance (and lobby) is the first thing that customer sees and has a big impact and in that area this hotel gets 2 out of 10. The lobby had a distinct smell and we couldn't stand over there and had to come out of the hotel to get fresh air. The entrance also doesn't leave an impression as it front faces the backside of the Port Authority building, which might be adding to the smell.
Overall I couldn't stand in front of the hotel or sit in the lobby, it was unbearable (smell) and front of the hotel had a pile of trash bags lined up for almost 3 days and people were opening the trash and sorting out the plastic bottles, which was adding to the smell.

Hey everybody,
Three months ago I took a small mango tree about a foot and a half out of the ground and without damaging the roots placed it in a 75 gallon bucket. After about a week due to transplant shock all the leaves fell off and the top became dried and brittle. But the overall branch is still green. Does that mean that there is still hope? Will it eventually sprout new leaves and continue to grow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would say yes. As long as there is green stems, there is hope. It sounds like transplant shock to me. Keep it well watered and it should leaf out again. :o) |

My name is Cami, I'm from Miami and I'm a writer and a history buff!
To create any story all one must do is study the time and place of your subject or character. This is what has brought me to have an incredible attention span in classes like film, music, art, theater, literary, linguistic, cultural, American, world, Latin-American, social, political, religious, scientific, seafaring, and pre-historic history. I also have a perpetual fuel to continue educating myself at all times. That is why I have continued enrolled full-time in double major programs, completing film school and the school of humanities at Loyola Marymount University, and immediately continued on with my masters in underwater archaeology.
I am now saving up to turn all this knowledge into a field work experience to complete my masters, and nothing would make me happier than if I could do this while surviving solely off my writing and educating skills and passion. I would love to talk to you on the phone if you have any doubts. I am very theatrical and great with kids. I have taught kids every summer for almost ten years and I have great success with reaching out and get kids of all ages to understand and remember a fact that otherwise just won't stick.
I'd also love to help you write your papers on these subjects!
Can't wait to hear from you!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have been training my voice for 20 years. At age four, I began taking lessons in music theory and vocal exercises. Having recently come from Cuba, I have a natural rhythm and a musical ear. The first song I recorded on tape was Mariah Carey's "I Still Believe," and since then, I have believed that any person of any age can be trained to transform their voice into any sound they desire. I never put limits on people or manipulate them into singing how I prefer. After spending many years doing musical theater, I learned from a vocal doctor how to help people find their range and natural, healthy speaking voice. From here, you can expand your comfort level with safe training exercises that focus on breathing from the diaphragm and exhaling evenly. It makes me very happy to help people overcome their vocal troubles and find their most natural voice.

Iceland Walking Tours
Walk on the Land of Fire & Ice
Our Iceland Walking trip is a journey into the unforgettable; from soaring mountains, rumbling volcanoes and lava fields to bubbling geysers, hot springs and glaciers—each day's a new adventure. By hiking craters to coastline, traversing hot rivers and trekking to towering waterfalls, the sense of discovery always looms large. Naturally, we balance our explorations with the comforts of Icelandic hospitality. As a favoured trip among B&R veterans, your Iceland awaits.
Trip Details
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they've had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
"I can't say I really 'work out,' but I'm in good shape and am relatively active."
"I enjoy a good walk or ride, and feel comfortable while on the move."
"I get moving at least once a week, and don't mind a little sweat."
"I get moving a few times per week and enjoy some exertion."
"I want to feel invigorated each day and going hard how I like to do that."

Day by Day
Tackle your first lava field, complete with legends straight out of the Icelandic Sagas before relaxing in a local school's hot spring fed pool.
Admire desolate coves and crashing surf on a coastal hike on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Summit a neighbouring volcano before experiencing the fabled Icelandic horse firsthand!
Walk to the UNESCO Word Heritage Site of Þingvellir, home of the world's oldest parliament. Kick back in a natural hot tub with majestic lake views.
Climb aboard a super-comfortable "Super Jeep" for exploration of Landmannalaugur and Hekla Highlands, the "Icelanders' Iceland."
Take a trip out to the mystical Westman Islands to see their stunning topography and the largest puffin colony in the world. Visit a town buried in lava in 1973, the "Pompei of the North."
Take a quick look around Iceland's capital Reykjavik before heading to airport for your departure.
Hotel Budir, Snaefellsnes
This immaculate hotel continues a long tradition of outstanding hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Located in a lavafield on the westernmost tip of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, Hotel Budir has been hosting distinguished guests in its majestic setting since 1948. Its restaurant has been referred to as "The Mecca of Icelandic cooking," due to its unique and delightful cuisine. View hotel website »
Hotel Grimsborgir, Þingvellir
Sitting alongside Icleand's longest freshwater river, the River Sog, the Hotel Grimsborgir is a luxurious retreat set amidst raw beauty. Each room or apartment is complete with a lounge, sitting room and personal outdoor hot tub. View hotel website »
Hotel Ranga, Hella
With a noticeable lack of timber in the country, Rangá was entirely constructed from imported Canadian lumber, from the walls to the furniture to the remarkable bar stools (watch out for them). With just 38 rooms, it is intimate and comfortable. The location sits at the mouth of the highlands with spectacular access to Hekla, one of the country's most impressive volcanoes. View hotel website »
Activity Level
The terrain we cover is incredibly varied. We'll enjoy some gentle walks along beaches and through rolling countryside and more strenuous walks in the mountains, along glaciers and through canyons. Additional activities include kayaking, horseback riding and spelunking. Please be aware that hikes and/or activities may have to be changed last-minute due to climate conditions, which are highly unpredictable in Iceland. Please also note that drives can be long; this enables us to take in a huge variety of scenery and experience a multitude of landscapes.
Walking Sticks &
Hip Holsters
Included with all walking trips are Leki telescoping walking sticks and custom-made padded hip holsters, which comfortably carry one full half-litre water bottle. And while the walking sticks get "recycled" for use by another B&R traveller, the holsters are yours to keep at trip's end.
What's Included
- All hotel accommodation
- All breakfasts, five lunches and all dinners, including wine
- Services of B&R guide(s) and support van
- All special events and private tours
- Detailed maps, route suggestions and water bottle
- Use of two lightweight, telescoping walking sticks
- All baggage transportation
- All transportation from rendezvous to drop-off
- All gratuities for baggage, porters and hotel service
At Your Service
We take pride in choosing guides who are not only exceptional travelling companions, but who'll go far beyond the call of duty to ensure an unforgettable experience.
"I can't pick the best moment, because every day blew me out of the water. It was a life changing trip and the memories of the sites, culture, and experience will forever be my go-to spot when having a bad day. Thank you B&R for the best time of my life."

Newborn Basics: Bottlefeeding
It's important to choose a formula that is iron-fortified. Low-iron formulas are available due to the belief that iron makes babies gassy and constipated, but studies have found this to be untrue. If there's a family history of allergies, you believe your baby is lactose intolerant, or you have other health concerns, consult your pediatrician--he or she can steer you toward the formula best suited for your child's needs. Most formulas come in a powder or concentrate form (both of which you mix with water) or ready-to-feed form (the most convenient -- and expensive -- option).
To feed your baby, cradle her in a semi-upright position and support her head. Don't feed her lying down -- formula can flow into the middle ear, causing an infection. To prevent your baby from swallowing air as she sucks, tilt the bottle so that the formula fills the neck of the bottle and covers the nipple.
Your newborn will probably take between 2 and 4 ounces per feeding during his first few weeks (during the first few days, he may take less than an ounce at feedings), and will probably be hungry every two to four hours. Use this time frame as a guide only. It's best to feed your baby on demand. Don't encourage your baby to finish the bottle if he's not interested. And if he's still sucking enthusiastically when the bottle is empty, offer him more.

We know you love getting the latest and greatest apps and games, but the cost... sure, paid apps are only a few bucks, but it adds up when you buy like 20 of them a week. Sorry, we accept partial responsibility for that. To make it up to you, here are some deals. We cool?
The term "old school" gets thrown around a lot in gaming these days, but Touch Foo's Swordigo seems to positively invite comparison to classics like Ghosts & Goblins and Zelda. With 2D platforming on the surface and an action RPG underneath, Swordigo might be confused for a Super NES game if it weren't for the 3D graphics. And while it doesn't reach the lofty heights of the classic franchises it imitates, it's a challenging and worthy game if you're in for the long haul.
The Play Store is filled with great games to cram onto your mobile device, but there's another Android marketplace you may have forgotten to check. Don't worry, I have your back. Amazon is currently offering eight free games as part of today's Game Pack. If you throw in the usual free app of the day, that actually makes nine games you can get just by hitting up Amazon before the day is up.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a speed-running platformer, an unconventional space shooter, a Battleship-inspired defense game, an Adventure Game CCG, and a spooky point-and-click adventure.
Swordigo first came to Android as a part of Humble Mobile Bundle 3, and while it's usually difficult to snag a game for a lower price than pay-what-you-want, this time you can. Developer Touch Foo has released the game into the Play Store as a free download. Swordigo is well-rated on the Apple App Store, and it looks like a pretty safe bet if you're in the mood for an attractive, action-packed platformer.
Are you ready for a sci-fi adventure with aliens, spaceships, and lots of lasers blowing stuff up? Well, you get two of those in the hotly anticipated choose-your-own-adventure game Out There. It's available now on Android, and it ought to be compatible with almost all devices.
In Out There, you play the part of an astronaut waking up from cryogenic hyper-naptosis (or something) far away from Earth. You must survive and make your way through space to unravel a mystery and save mankind.
If you play games to relax, it might be in your best interest to leave this page right away. Here are forty other games you could consider instead. Don't worry, we won't hold it against you. You see, contrary to how it looks, Dual Survivor isn't an action game. Things shoot at you, but you do not get to shoot back. Your goal is just to protect your cargo as best as you can, only you're not simply maneuvering one energy core around various threats, you're transporting two.
Crescent Moon Games calls its latest mobile title, Demonrock: War of Ages, a "reverse defense" game. What does that mean? It's a dungeon crawler that tasks you with breaking through the enemy's defenses (not that unlike every other dungeon crawler out there). Reverse defense equals offense, and there's about all you're going to do here. You have four heroes to choose from, each ready to break through hordes of enemies in their own way.
There was a lot of excitement when Eutechnyx announced it was developing a new Warhammer 40k game late last year. The Warhammer fan base might not be very deep, but it's fanatically devoted. With that in mind, the response to this trailer is understandably negative. It looks less like the combat strategy games usually associated with Warhammer, and more like Plants vs. Zombies.

Sale of Monticello
Thomas Jefferson had hoped that his family would be able to live on at Monticello after his death, and left the property to his daughter, Martha Randolph, and her children; but the enormous debt load as well as the expenses of maintaining the building and lands proved too much. [1] Although there were several belated plans to try to save Monticello for the family, nothing came of them, and Mrs. Randolph put Monticello and its furnishings up for sale. Much of Jefferson's furniture, plate and farm equipment, as well as 140 slaves, were bought at a public auction in 1827, but the idiosyncratic mansion proved harder to sell. Finally, four years later, the house and property went to an eccentric Charlottesville druggist, James Barclay, for $7,500. Barclay despised Jefferson's political ideals, and had very little interest in the great house itself. He wanted the land, and he tore out many of the trees Jefferson had planted as well as the extensive gardens so he could plant mulberry trees in a scheme to turn Monticello into a silkworm farm. Within three years the project predictably failed, and Barclay now looked around for a buyer. In 1834, he sold the house and surrounding land for $2,500 to Uriah Phillips Levy, United States Navy.
Primary Source References
1827 March 23. (Virginia Jefferson Randolph Trist to Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge). "It will grieve you both very much to hear of the depredations that have been made at Monticello by the numerous parties who go to see the place. Mama's choicest flower roots have been carried off, one of her yellow jamsines, fig bushes. Sign did no good." [2]
1828 November 17. (Thomas Jefferson Randolph to J.H. Cooke). "I believe that it will be a fortunate thing for my mother to give up the house. The estate is irredeemably insolvent, perhaps to $15,000 or $20,000 and must be sold, or at present advised I should consider myself fortunate in obtaining $12,000 for the buildings and 900 acres of good land, including the two mountains."[3]
1829 December 7. (Thomas Jefferson Randolph to J.H. Cooke). "I have doubted whether I ought not to take $10,000 for it with 1000 acres of land attached to it...The estate being immediately insolvent I have deemed it safest to endeavor to close the concern as soon as possible."[4]
1831 June 29. (Cornelia Jefferson Randolph to Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge). "We are none of us in very good spirits just now owing to the probability there is of Monticello being sold; Dr. Barclay (one of Mrs. Harris' sons) has offered brother Jeff. his house in Charlottesville (Mr. Hatch's house) and $9000 for the place. The thing is not determined yet; brother Jeff. will not make the bargain unless he can sell the house in Charlottesville; which they say he can do, nor do I believe that Dr. B. is positively determined on the purchase. His offer is quite a liberal one, brother Jeff asks about 12,000 for Monticello and Dr. B. offers him his house for what he gave for it $3500, although he has made improvements in it...There remain $30,000 of the debts still to be paid and the creditors are pressing and he (brother J.) has made nothing from the publication of the manuscripts...He thinks indeed Dr. Barclay will buy land enough around Monticello to make the sum $4000."[5]
1831 August 15. (Mary Jefferson Randolph to Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge). "Monticello is at last sold...the house and 500 acres...Jefferson will receive Mr. Hatch's house in Charlottesville at $4000 for which Mr. Carr will...give him $3500 down and he will receive $3000 cash I believe from the purchaser Dr. Barclay, the second son of poor Mrs. Barclay that marrield old Harris...You will say it was a dreadful sacrifice but the debts are pressing, the place going to ruin, and no other offer..."[6]

Now I realize we don't know exactly what features or specs they will have, but anyone who is a fan or has knowledge of the industry has a good idea of what they want and expect from these systems, so what is your absolute limit in spending for these systems when they finally come out?
I have no interest in any more Microsoft systems unless they announce Shenmue 3 as an exclusive for 720, and then I'd pay any price to have it on day one. Barring that improbability I wouldn't pay anything for the system. For the PS4 I wouldn't pay more than $400 because paying more than that for any console is LOL in my humble opinion.
What about you guys?

I am looking for a place to order houseplants on the web. I am from Canada so this place should be in Canada or if it should be in U.S. then I would need it to be able to ship to canada.
Do any of you sell houseplants on this site.? |

- Posted by plantastic zone 3 prairies (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 3:52
I don't think we're supposed to do that.. anyhoo, I also am in Canada. My experience is: order from the few sites in Canada. Ordering from the States for an individual is almost impossible: if you did find someone willing to sell, like Logees, the cost is enormous as it includes a Phytosanitary Certificate. Plus rush shipping. Then once it reaches the border it sits and waits for Customs Officers to examine the box.I would never do it again.What kind of plants did you want? Suggest you just google "house plants Canada" or similar and plod through the listings.Also you have to consider if it's warm enough yet to send through the mail. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 20:02
Frisco, another option is to go to www.gardenwatchdog.com They'll be a window where you select location..(at least there was last time I went there) From there on, browse through houseplants or whatever plant you want to purchase..Goodluck, Toni |

Lew urges stronger efforts against cyber threats
Jack Lew
July 17, 2014 – Treasury Secretary Jack Lew yesterday urged financial institutions to increase their defenses against cyberattacks and threats to better protect consumers during a speech at CNBC and the Institutional Investor's 4th Annual Delivering Alpha Conference.
"The consequences of cyber incidents are serious," Lew said in his
. "When credit card data is stolen, it disturbs lives and damages consumer confidence. When trade secrets are robbed, it undercuts America's businesses and undermines U.S. competitiveness. And successful attacks on our financial system would compromise market confidence, jeopardize the integrity of data, and pose a threat to financial stability."
During his speech, Lew reiterated his call to Congress to pass comprehensive legislation to improve information sharing by providing targeted liability protections while ensuring consumers' privacy is kept.
NAFCU is also continuing to urge Congress to enact national data security standards for retailers as they address the broader issue of cybersecurity. NAFCU Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt and other staff
met last week
with Treasury Acting Assistant Security for Financial Institutions Amias Gerety on a number of key issues, including cybersecurity.
NAFCU was the first financial services trade organization to push for
national standards for retailers
following the massive Target data breach late last year.

So, I just bought a $50 Steam Card. Now that I redeemed it, what should I buy?
I might buy Portal 1 and Terraria, but I just bought Portal 2 in stores and it sounds better and fun, and Terraria will release for the Xbox Live Arcade soon with extra content.
Edit: I bought Terraria.
That leaves $40.

Publishers Weekly
In this debut novel from song- and screenwriter Pitchford, a boy relates the sometimes funny, sometimes moving story of how he planned his 10th birthday party. The thought of having a party had not occurred to narrator Charley until he gets a card from his father (who left home three years earlier) asking, "What are you going to do on your big day?" Fearful that he has too much in common with his loner neighbor Garry (the boy refers to them as "two friendless freaks"), Charley vows "to throw the best party—in the history—oftheworld!" He organizes his plans into a Birthday Notebook, and entry #1 reads, "Make friends." Ironically, the lad does befriend Garry, who used to create special effects for movies and now spends his days making body parts out of latex in his garage. Charley, a devoted fan of Monsters & Maniacsmagazine, decides to throw a horror-themed party, an idea his so-called friends at school think is cool. Just when it looks like Charley's big day is doomed, Garry comes to the rescue, in a riotous scene that calls upon the man's expertise. Pitchford develops likable, believable lead characters (Charley's beleaguered mother and caustic older sister play strong supporting roles), but some of Charley's peers act and speak in voices that seem older than those of 10-year-olds (e.g., at the start of the party, the class bully announces, "I've been to bar mitzvahs that were scarier"). Overall, however, this is entertaining fare. Ages 8-up. (Mar.)

Sund: Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah
If we accept that the Jewish prophet Isaiah predicted the coming of the Christ Child when he said, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel," should we not also look forward to the fulfillment of his other prophesies, "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard shall lie down with the kid" and "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain?" And may we not anticipate what the angels proclaimed at Christ's birth, "Peace on earth, good will toward men?"
As Christians celebrate this greatest gift of love ever known, I have been reflecting on what's happening around us to promote peace on earth and good will toward men. How do we respond to Christ's admonition to love each other, to care enough to do what's best for others? I see this love all around us and not just at Christmas time and not just by Christians. Here in this area there is a plethora of caring. The Salvation Army, Faith Mission, Interfaith Ministries, Times Charities, Meals on Wheels, churches, fire stations, and many, many organizations and individuals give generously to those in need. Doctors and dentists give their time and skills to help the needy both here and abroad. Choirs and musicians practice hours to present free concerts. Hospice and NODA (No One Dies Alone) volunteers spend time with the dying. Volunteer tutors teach the illiterate to read and volunteer advocates represent children in court. We are a caring people. We show good will toward our fellow men. The war in Iraq has ended. Hallelujah! There is a bit more peace on earth.
But what's that clamor I hear? It's coming from Washington, D.C. I'll let you decide who represents the wolf and who the lamb, Democrats or Republicans. I think most people are more than ready for these two entities to get together and care enough for their fellow men to work things out and do what's best for the good of the country. That would be the most wonderful gift they could give the country this holiday season.
So why can't those who represent us in Congress manage to make this sacrifice? They seem to purposely connive to make the other side look bad, even if that means hurting the people who elected them. The Republican's mantra seems to be to never agree with President Obama on anything and never vote for any of his proposals for fear it would make him look successful and therefore get re-elected.
The Republicans have said they want no tax increases, but now are willing for the payroll taxes to be increased because Obama wants to extend the payroll tax cut. Are they thinking of the best interests of the majority of Americans? I think not. The average middle class American pays payroll taxes. They don't need to have them raised at this time. (Hooray! I just learned that the Republicans have given in and agreed to the two month extension of the payroll tax cut as proposed by the Democrats. A Christmas miracle!)
On the other hand the millionaires of our country should be willing to give up their loopholes and pay their fair share, but the Republicans won't hear of it. The lines are drawn. Democrats want to preserve the middle class. Republicans want to defend and protect the millionaires from whence cometh their election funds.
I am in the middle class and logically will vote for the Democrats who defend my best interests. If you are a millionaire then you should vote for the Republicans who defend your best interests. Wouldn't it be nice if we could manage to pass election reform that would prevent legislators being bought and paid for by special interests? Then maybe the fox and the lamb could get together.
