I dunno, I doubt it. Maybe the pocket edition? Even the Xbox 360 version had to be scaled down in map size quite a lot. I think there's virtually zero chance of this ever coming to 3DS, it'd be cool though.

Minecraft is great in 3D as well. I dug out an old pair of red/cyans for it and it works really well.

Minecraft Pocket is pretty cut-down and terrible. Even notch doesn't like it, from what I remember. -

Registered 10 years agoYeah it's pretty poor. The map size is tiny, you can reach the edge of it within about 30 seconds of starting. Also, playing on a touch screen is a nightmare. I suppose they've done the best with what they've got, Minecraft on a phone is a pretty cool achievement but I wouldn't put any time in to it. -
Though to be completely fair, one of the reasons it runs like utter arse on the PC is because it's Java based. Other minecraft clones have shown you can do basically the exact same engine without alienating low-range hardware. -

Because it's fun! I've spent hours and hours on it, and it's pretty good. Yes, the area is small, but there's still enough to get a town built. In survival it's broadly similar to the PC one as well. I'd certainly recommend it, with of course a caution on the smaller area to build, mine, and craft.
WHY would you ever play a game like MC on a portable device? WHYYYYYY?
So a 3DS version could be quite enjoyable too. Bottom screen as a map and inventory, or even use it for a Metroid Prime Hunters control scheme (I loves that, but I suppose not everyone does). However, I don't think it'd be profitable so I can't see it happening.

Registered 9 years agoI like minecraft pocket. But I really would like to see it on the 3ds or vita. Maybe the 3ds version could be similar to pocket, but with a few more bells and whistles thrown in. Look cool in 3d as well. -
I've never played Minecraft, but it sounds pretty unique and fun, so if it came to the 3DS, I'd give it a try.
However, the "wouldn't work on 3DS" argument amuses me. You hear this a lot from PC developers through the ages and while there are certain PC games that use PC processing power in a way that would make it difficult, the great majority of the time it seems that the PC developer hadn't had any great background in console design and simply says that this is the case because they are thinking of programming the game the way the PC version would be.
It is similar to when I hear, "Why not just add online multiplayer?" to a local multiplayer game, as if it were as simple as turning on a switch.
Edit: Before anyone jumps on me, I'm well aware with what Minecraft is and does and the mammoth things that users have created with it.

National Music Week Essay Contest
Entry Deadline - TBA
Entry Fee: $15 per student
Jazz/Pop Registration Form
Jazz/Pop Critique Sheet
Entry Fee: $18 per student
Dear Parents,
Thank you for participating in this year's Romantic Festival. Below is some information to help make your child's experience enjoyable.
The festival will be in recital format. Three recitals will run concurrently, and parents may attend the recitals. Private judging will also be offered. Parents may not attend private auditions.
Projects: Projects are poster boards (or reports or displays) with information about something relating to the piece your child is performing. The project may be a written account about a composer, instrument, or a topic from the Romantic Period, 1820-1910. Projects can raise the student's overall score. Students have the option of doing a project only in which case they will receive a bronze medal. Please remember to put your child's name and the teacher's name on the back of the project.
Projects must be delivered by 9:30 a.m. the day of the recital and will remain until 30 minutes before the end of the festival. The student may have someone bring the project early and pick it up at the end if needed. If the project is not checked in by 9:30, the student will not receive credit for it and the award will be based only on the pieces played.
Rating With Project Without Project
Honors Recital* Trophy Trophy
1 Rating Trophy Gold Medal
2 Rating Gold Medal Silver Medal
3 Rating Silver Medal Bronze Medal
Project Only - Bronze Medal
The type of award given will depend on the score received for the student's performance.
Check with your teacher concerning the latest information for honors recital winners. All students who receive the Honors Recital designation on their critiques will receive an Honors Recital trophy, but may or may not be able to perform in a separate honors recital due to an increase in facility fees.
Your child's teacher will be able to answer any subsequent questions you might have. We hope this year's festival will be most enlightening and enjoyable for you and your child.
Solo - $18 Hymn - $15 Ensemble - $18 Concerto - $20 Theory - $10
Welcome to the Gold Cup Festival. The Gold Cup Festival is the only national festival in America developed to encourage American teachers to teach the music of American composers. The required pieces listed in the Gold Cup Bulletin are by American composers while the choice piece must be by another composer (American or non-American) in Pre-Primary I – IV and cannot be in the bulletin. In Elementary I – Musically Advanced the choice piece must be by a non-American composer. The Gulf Coast Music Association is proud to be able to sponsor this annual festival in our area. A student's points are never lost when the family has to relocate to a different city or state. The students may start where they left off at the former location. It is one of the most positively oriented festivals anywhere in the U.S. bringing teachers, students, and parents together working toward a common goal.
The date for this year's festival is Sat., Mar. 7, 2015. The registration deadline is the January meeting.
Directions on how to fill out the forms are included in the next several pages. If you need duplicate forms you must make the copies. The rating(critique) sheet is provided but you must make copies for your students using the colored paper as required by the different events. Please check your work carefully as a $1.00 fee will be due to Jennifer Key for each mistake made on each form.
Details about the assigned playing times and work assignments will be forthcoming when the forms are turned in. Playing time requests will be honored if at all possible, but are not guaranteed.
All participating teachers have a work assignment. Please make a note on your registration form if you are unable to work during a certain time and you will be assigned a different time.
Due to the size of this festival, details become extremely important. When they are ignored, it creates huge headaches and requires extra work for the chairman and for our record keeper. If you have any questions, please call. Don't guess.
Two rules you must understand:

I was in Indiana this past week, and on our second leg home yesterday I received a text from my garden buddy 5 minutes from my house saying that we had a rain/hail deluge parked over our neighborhood and to expect garden damage. I was worried, but never expected this. She tells me that in 20 years of gardening here in Colo Spgs this is the second or third worst storm that she has ever seen. I spent the evening in tears. Everything has been stripped. I haven't a bit of color left and looking out this morning I see so much green debris in my yard that I don't even know how to begin cleaning up. I'll post another picture of my back yard. I am heartbroken. I had put so many new plants in over the past month! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh kat, I'm so sorry! We've had 3 bouts of hail over the last month. Some things may come back. Clean up the debris when you can, it'll make you feel better to not have to look at it. Trim up the damaged plants as best you can. The good news is it seems some of the garden centers are marking plants down now. Not much comfort, but a bit. Barb |

10 Necessary Documentaries About Funny People
Cinematic Listology By Nonfics on September 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhen Joan Rivers died last week, a common refrain resounded throughout the movie sphere of Twitter: "Watch Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work." It was good advice. Anyone who wants to understand her importance as a media figure, or just as a person, would do well to check out that documentary. And after seeing it, you might have a hankering to check out more docs about entertainers who are devoted to making people laugh. Here are ten, including the Rivers film, to catch up with: Elaine Stritch at Liberty (2002) and Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me (2013) The Broadway legend kept working right up until her death earlier this year. At Liberty is Elaine Stritch in her own words, a filmed version of her acclaimed one-woman show. She won an Emmy for her riotous recounting of her life and work, a two-hour cavalcade of memories shot by a team of directors led by D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Shoot Me is Stritch as viewed through someone else's lens. While the actress and singer is still on point with her defiant rambunctiousness, director Chiemi Karasawa delivers a more raw, vulnerable side of her. Footage of Stritch without makeup, lying in bed due to sickliness, are the sort of thing that you don't get from a performer just talking about it on stage. It's a funny but moving look at reflection in old age while still pursuing what one loves. READ MORE AT NONFICS
'Winter's Tale' Isn't the Best New Blu/DVD This Week, But It's Definitely a Must-See
Features By Rob Hunter on June 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Winter's Tale Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) is a man out of time in early 20th century New York City. He's on the run from a devilish mob boss (Russell Crowe) when a last minute detour lands him in love with a socialite (Jessica Brown Findlay) dying of tuberculosis. Can their romance survive human mortality, a Jimi Hendrix-loving Satan and a self-directed script by Akiva Goldsman? Winter's Tale, so named because some scenes take place when it's cold out apparently, is a terrible movie in most senses of the word. The romance doesn't work, the fantastic elements feel out of place, there's barely a single effective moment of suspense or emotion and the metaphysical message is a confused jumble of words randomly typed by chimpanzees while peyote smoke is blown into their anuses by drunken clergymen. There's no getting around any of that, and yet… I want you to see it. To experience it. And to confirm for me that I didn't just dream the whole damn thing. Check out my full review here if you still need convincing. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Featurettes]
Tribeca 2013 Review: 'Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me' Is An Engaging Portrait Of A Brash Diva
Movie Reviews By Caitlin Hughes on April 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIn the entertainment industry, a lot of women get forsaken in the public's consciousness even before they reach middle age. In Chiemi Karasawa's documentary Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, the legendary Elaine Stritch celebrates her 88th birthday. And per one of her oft-performed Stephen Sondheim songs, "she's still here." The title of the doc is clearly a play on words – Stritch is hardly a fatalist, but instead she demands to be the center of attention, to be filmed. "Shot" in that way. The documentary follows Stritch as she gears up for her last tour as she battles the ravages of aging and diabetes. Karasawa paints a well-rounded portrait of Stritch here, because in addition to filming Stritch being her glorious brash self, Karasawa films her forgetting song lyrics, without her makeup, and dealing with her sobriety, among other things. Because of this multifaceted look at Stritch, the film succeeds in being enjoyable, especially since Stritch is such a magnetic presence on screen. There are also interviews with celebrity friends like her 30 Rock son Alec Baldwin (also Executive Producer), Tina Fey, John Turturro, James Gandolfini, and many others. However, Karasawa doesn't take very many filmic risks that make it stand out from the rest of the pack, and that generic approach ultimately detracts somewhat from the film's overall quality.

Oranges have been around for as long as we have records.
Although they have been used in many ways over the centuries, it is only within our own time that we've become aware of the many benefits of oranges and their high content in vitamin C.
It is interesting to note that oranges, lemons and limes were used by provisioners of the world's navies to prevent scurvy — even without the knowledge we have of their vitamin content and uses today.

Even though geek-chic has been a colossal trend the past few years, we're completely over thick plastic frames. We're moving on to hipper wood frames by Sire's Crown, which uses eco-friendly woods and plastics to make their eyeglasses and sunglasses.
It's simple logic that eyeglasses should enhance, not detract, from your features, especially since you wear them all day, everyday. And Sire's Crown has a frame to fit every face and lifestyle. We're quite smitten with the Moorea frames, which are available in nine different woods and remind us of glasses Hyde would have worn on "That '70s Show." The Dylan Thomas frames are also available in a variety of woods and were inspired by the Welsh poet. These frames have a classic wayfarer vibe, so they'll look chic on many faces. Sire's Crown also produces glasses with eco-friendly plastic fronts for those that enjoy a bit of mixed media. Keep reading »


text: "Being a celebrity sure ain't what it used to be. Or, perhaps more accurately, the process of maintaining a stable star persona isn't what it used to be. With the rise of new media technologies—including digital photography and video production, gossip blogging, social networking sites, and streaming video—there has been a rapid proliferation of voices which serve to articulate stars' personae. This panoply of sanctioned and unsanctioned discourses has brought the coherence and stability of the star's image into crisis, with an evermore-heightened loop forming recursively between celebrity gossip and scandals, on the one hand, and, on the other, new media-enabled speculation and commentary about these scandals and gossip-pieces."

What is a nursing home?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "nursing home."
A nursing home is, literally, a caring place. It's a licensed facility that provides care for people who are chronically ill or who are unable to care for themselves. A nursing home is sometimes called a long-term care facility, as opposed to a hospital, which is meant for shorter-term care.
A nursing home is a facility for those who are seriously sick or disabled and need looking after.

Approximately a dozen examples of this variety are known, several gilded like this piece. A similar gilded set was in the Harry Bass Collection, and is now on loan to the American Numismatic Association. Complete sets of this denomination are also held by the Smithsonian Institution and the Durham Western Heritage Museum. This example is sharply struck with highly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces. Both sides have faint granularity, almost certainly created during the gilding process. A few toning freckles are evident on each side. Careful examination of each denomination in the Amazonian gold series reveals that both the obverse and reverse have minor design differences. Rather than creating one design and reducing it to the proper size for each denomination, it appears as if Barber created separate individual dies.

More tertiary education - Nzimande
Comment on this storyBloemfontein - More young people should get an opportunity to access post-matric education, Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande said on Tuesday.
"We also need to seriously grow the college sector. Not every young person can attend university," he said on the sidelines of the African National Congress's 53rd elective conference at the University of the Free State in Mangaung.
Policy discussions on education at the conference should also look into the improvement of the quality of higher education, especially at colleges, he said.
Nzimande said although the conference was running behind schedule, delegates would "catch up" as most of the policy papers had been discussed at the party's policy conference in June.
Delegates were in various commissions discussing the policies on Tuesday. - Sapa

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Getting on his high horse one day, Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, along with a few Reubenites - Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth - | 1 Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites--Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth--became insolent |
2 rebelled against Moses. He had with him 250 leaders of the congregation of Israel, prominent men with positions in the Council. | 2 and rose up against Moses. With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council. |
3 They came as a group and confronted Moses and Aaron, saying, "You've overstepped yourself. This entire community is holy and God is in their midst. So why do you act like you're running the whole show?" | 3 They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the LORD's assembly?" |
4 On hearing this, Moses threw himself facedown on the ground. | 4 When Moses heard this, he fell facedown. |
5 Then he addressed Korah and his gang: "In the morning God will make clear who is on his side, who is holy. God will take his stand with the one he chooses. | 5 Then he said to Korah and all his followers: "In the morning the LORD will show who belongs to him and who is holy, and he will have that person come near him. The man he chooses he will cause to come near him. |
6 "Now, Korah, here's what I want you, you and your gang, to do: Tomorrow, take censers. | 6 You, Korah, and all your followers are to do this: Take censers |
7 In the presence of God, put fire in them and then incense. Then we'll see who is holy, see whom God chooses. Sons of Levi, you've overstepped yourselves!" | 7 and tomorrow put fire and incense in them before the LORD. The man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. You Levites have gone too far!" |
8 Moses continued with Korah, "Listen well now, sons of Levi. | 8 Moses also said to Korah, "Now listen, you Levites! |
9 Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has selected you out of the congregation of Israel to bring you near him to serve in the ministries of The Dwelling of God, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? | 9 Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the LORD's tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them? |
10 He has brought you and all your brother Levites into his inner circle, and now you're grasping for the priesthood too. | 10 He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too. |
11 It's God you've ganged up against, not us. What do you have against Aaron that you're bad-mouthing him?" | 11 It is against the LORD that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?" |
12 Moses then ordered Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, to appear, but they said, "We're not coming. | 12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said, "We will not come! |
13 Isn't it enough that you yanked us out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? And now you keep trying to boss us around! | 13 Isn't it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the desert? And now you also want to lord it over us? |
14 Face it, you haven't produced: You haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, you haven't given us the promised inheritance of fields and vineyards. You'd have to poke our eyes out to keep us from seeing what's going on. Forget it, we're not coming." | 14 Moreover, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!" |
15 Moses' temper blazed white-hot. He said to God, "Don't accept their Grain-Offering. I haven't taken so much as a single donkey from them; I haven't hurt a single hair of their heads." | 15 Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, "Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them." |
16 Moses said to Korah, "Bring your people before God tomorrow. Appear there with them and Aaron. | 16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow--you and they and Aaron. |
17 Have each man bring his censer filled with incense and present it to God - all 250 censers. And you and Aaron do the same, bring your censers." | 17 Each man is to take his censer and put incense in it--250 censers in all--and present it before the LORD. You and Aaron are to present your censers also." |
18 So they all did it. They brought their censers filled with fire and incense and stood at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron did the same. | 18 So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. |
19 It was Korah and his gang against Moses and Aaron at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. The entire community could see the Glory of God. | 19 When Korah had gathered all his followers in opposition to them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the entire assembly. |
20 God said to Moses and Aaron, | 20 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, |
21 "Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I can finish them off and be done with them." | 21 "Separate yourselves from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once." |
22 They threw themselves on their faces and said, "O God, God of everything living, when one man sins are you going to take it out on the whole community?" | 22 But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, "O God, God of the spirits of all mankind, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?" |
23 God spoke to Moses: | 23 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
24 "Speak to the community. Tell them, Back off from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram." | 24 "Say to the assembly, 'Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.' " |
25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram. The leaders of Israel followed him. | 25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. |
26 He then spoke to the community: "Back off from the tents of these bad men; don't touch a thing that belongs to them lest you be carried off on the flood of their sins." | 26 He warned the assembly, "Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins." |
27 So they all backed away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram by now had come out and were standing at the entrance to their tents with their wives, children, and babies. | 27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents. |
28 Moses continued to address the community: "This is how you'll know that it was God who sent me to do all these things and that it wasn't anything I cooked up on my own. | 28 Then Moses said, "This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea: |
29 If these men die a natural death like all the rest of us, you'll know that it wasn't God who sent me. | 29 If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me. |
30 But if God does something unprecedented - if the ground opens up and swallows the lot of them and they are pitched alive into Sheol - then you'll know that these men have been insolent with God." | 30 But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt." |
31 The words were hardly out of his mouth when the Earth split open. | 31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart |
32 Earth opened its mouth and in one gulp swallowed them down, the men and their families, all the human beings connected with Korah, along with everything they owned. | 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, with their households and all Korah's men and all their possessions. |
33 And that was the end of them, pitched alive into Sheol. The Earth closed up over them and that was the last the community heard of them. | 33 They went down alive into the grave, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community. |
34 At the sound of their cries everyone around ran for dear life, shouting, "We're about to be swallowed up alive!" | 34 At their cries, all the Israelites around them fled, shouting, "The earth is going to swallow us too!" |
35 Then God sent lightning. The fire cremated the 250 men who were offering the incense. | 35 And fire came out from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense. |
36 God spoke to Moses: | 36 The LORD said to Moses, |
37 "Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, Gather up the censers from the smoldering cinders and scatter the coals a distance away for these censers have become holy. | 37 "Tell Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, to take the censers out of the smoldering remains and scatter the coals some distance away, for the censers are holy-- |
38 Take the censers of the men who have sinned and are now dead and hammer them into thin sheets for covering the Altar. They have been offered to God and are holy to God. Let them serve as a sign to Israel, evidence of what happened this day." | 38 the censers of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives. Hammer the censers into sheets to overlay the altar, for they were presented before the LORD and have become holy. Let them be a sign to the Israelites." |
39 So Eleazar gathered all the bronze censers that belonged to those who had been burned up and had them hammered flat and used to overlay the Altar, | 39 So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, |
40 just as God had instructed him by Moses. This was to serve as a sign to Israel that only descendants of Aaron were allowed to burn incense before God; anyone else trying it would end up like Korah and his gang. | 40 as the LORD directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before the LORD, or he would become like Korah and his followers. |
41 Grumbling broke out the next day in the community of Israel, grumbling against Moses and Aaron: "You have killed God's people!" | 41 The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. "You have killed the LORD's people," they said. |
42 But it so happened that when the community got together against Moses and Aaron, they looked over at the Tent of Meeting and there was the Cloud - the Glory of God for all to see. | 42 But when the assembly gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the Tent of Meeting, suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared. |
43 Moses and Aaron stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting. | 43 Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting, |
44 God spoke to Moses: | 44 and the LORD said to Moses, |
45 "Back away from this congregation so that I can do away with them this very minute." They threw themselves facedown on the ground. | 45 "Get away from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once." And they fell facedown. |
46 Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and fill it with incense, along with fire from the Altar. Get to the congregation as fast as you can: make atonement for them. Anger is pouring out from God - the plague has started!" | 46 Then Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has started." |
47 Aaron grabbed the censer, as directed by Moses, and ran into the midst of the congregation. The plague had already begun. He put burning incense into the censer and atoned for the people. | 47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. |
48 He stood there between the living and the dead and stopped the plague. | 48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. |
49 Fourteen thousand seven hundred people died from the plague, not counting those who died in the affair of Korah. | 49 But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah. |
50 Aaron then went back to join Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The plague was stopped. | 50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped. |

Most older people are independent. But later in life, you or someone you love may need help with everyday activities, such as shopping, cooking, and bathing.
A variety of services and facilities can provide help that allows people to stay active and connected with family, friends, and neighbors.
The key to successful long-term care is planning. To get started:
Talk with your doctor or another health care professional if you're having trouble with everyday activities, such as walking, managing finances, or driving.
Learn about the types of services and care in your community by talking to doctors, social workers, family, and friends. The Area Agency on Aging and local and state offices of aging and social services can provide lists of home health care providers, adult daycare centers, meal programs, companion services, and transportation services.
Learn how much long-term care would cost and how much of the costs Medicare or your insurance plan will pay. You may want to look into long-term care insurance or other plans that can help pay the costs. The Area Agency on Aging and local and state offices of aging and social services may have information to help.
At some point, support from family, friends, and local meal and transportation programs may not be enough. If you need a lot of help with everyday activities, you may need to move to a place where care is available 24-hours a day.
These are 2 types of residential-care facilities:
Assisted-living communities, which offer different levels of care that often include meals, recreation, security, and help with bathing, dressing, and housekeeping. Residents often have their own rooms or apartments as part of a larger community. These could also include continuing care retirement communities, which have several different levels of care that residents can move through.
Nursing homes, or skilled-nursing facilities, which provide round-the-clock service and supervision, medical care, and rehabilitation for residents who are mostly frail, very ill, or suffer from dementia.
To find long-term care for yourself or someone else:
Ask questions. Your state's office of the long-term care ombudsman can provide information about specific nursing homes.
Call around. Contact places that interest you and ask questions about vacancies, number of residents, costs, and payment methods. You should also inquire about specific services that may be important to you, such as special units for people with Alzheimer's disease.
Visit the facilities. When you find a place that sounds appropriate, go and talk to the staff, residents, and residents' family members. Check out the facility for cleanliness and safety and observe the way residents are treated by staff.
For further information, visit the National Institute on Aging, the Eldercare Locator, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Calculators Try out these calculators: they're fun, they're quick, and they give you important information for managing your health.
Quizzes Informative and often surprising, these quizzes test your knowledge of today's health concerns. Find out your score and learn more about these pertinent health issues.

Spider-Man is a 2002 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi. Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, a high school student who turns to crimefighting after developing spider-like super powers. Spider-Man also stars Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn (a.k.a. the Green Goblin), Kirsten Dunst as Peter's love interest Mary Jane Watson, and James Franco as his best friend Harry Osborn.
After being stuck in development hell for nearly 25 years, the film was licensed for a worldwide release by Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1999 after it acquired options from MGM on all previous scripts developed by Cannon Films, Carolco and New Cannon. Exercising its option on just two elements from this multi-script acquisition (a screenplay credited to James Cameron, Ted Newsom, John Brancato, Barney Cohen and "Joseph Goldman" (the pen name of Menahem Golan) and a later treatment credited solely to Cameron), Sony hired David Koepp to create a working screenplay from this "Cameron material".

New methodology helps boost Florida consumer confidence index
01/30/15 Personal FinanceFlorida consumer confidence rose sharply in January, but researchers attributed much of the climb to changes in how survey data was collected.
The University of Florida report released Friday, which showed confidence rising 6 points to 93.3, was based for the first time on a cellphone survey.
Since the survey began in 1985, researchers had used landlines to contact Floridians, a practice kept in place as cellphones rose in popularity "to maintain an index that reflects changes in consumer attitudes rather than changes in method," said survey director Chris McCarty....
Agriculture secretary says Cuba trade could grow by hundreds of millions
01/29/15AgricultureU.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack predicts U.S. trade with Cuba could rebound from its current $300 million to close to $500 million with Florida among the states capitalizing the most.
But to move to the next level, Vilsack urged Congress to go beyond the loosened trade restrictions recently ordered by President Barack Obama. Specifically, he called for Congress to allow his department to promote trade in Cuba as well as other international markets where it is hamstrung....
St. Petersburg ranks as No. 1 millennial draw in Florida
01/28/15 Personal FinanceFor those who still think of St. Petersburg as luring retirees to hang out in "God's waiting room," the younger generation is poised to make its move.
St. Petersburg has been singled out by credit card promoter NerdWallet as the best city in Florida for drawing in millennials. Across the bay, Tampa was nipping at its heels as the third-most-attractive market for those ages 20 to 34, while Clearwater came in at No. 12....
Reports show growing financial squeeze for most Florida workers
01/27/15 Personal FinanceEconomists pinpoint the end of the Great Recession as 2009, but for most Floridians, the financial squeeze has only gotten worse.
Income disparity is growing faster and there is a higher percentage of low-wage jobs being created in Florida compared with most places in the United States, according to a pair of reports coming out this week.
The studies found:
• A whopping 61 percent of job openings in Florida pay less than the estimated living wage for a single adult, according to an analysis by the Alliance for a Just Society, a network pushing for racial, social and economic changes....
Tampa Bay Partnership enters makeover mode ahead of CEO search
01/23/15 Economic DevelopmentThe Tampa Bay Partnership is in makeover mode.
In tandem with the launch of a national search for a new CEO, the regional business leadership group is honing its mission to primarily be an advocacy organization promoting the eight-county area, partnership chairman Brian Lamb said Friday.
In the past, the partnership and its outgoing CEO Stu Rogel had been criticized for being spread too thin between economic development, job promoting, marketing and advocacy. It has struggled to carry through on priorities, such as the failed mass transit effort dubbed Greenlight Pinellas, and dropped other programs. And with its closed-door meetings, communication has been a sore point. ...
Four forecasts for Tampa Bay in 2015
01/23/15BusinessIt's that time of year in Florida. January ushers in playoff football, Northern visitors and, as always, a flurry of economic and political predictions about the year ahead.
The Central Pinellas Chamber of Commerce brought together four prognosticators Wednesday for its Focus on 2015 breakfast.
Speakers on topics ranging from tourism to jobs to construction to politics were generally upbeat. But there was at least one grave warning served up along with sausage links and eggs: The Interstate 4 corridor from Tampa to Orlando won't get much of a respite from the negative political ads that dominated 2014....
Florida unemployment rate falls to 5.6 percent
01/23/15 Working LifeFlorida's unemployment rate fell to 5.6 percent in December, cementing a strong year of recovery in the jobs market. The rate, down from November's 5.8 percent, is now the lowest since April 2008.
In Tampa Bay, the jobless rate improved even more, falling to 5.5 percent, down from 5.9 percent a month earlier.
Including the boost of 12,700 jobs in December, Florida's workforce added 230,600 jobs for the full year....
A new low: Florida offers the fewest weeks of jobless benefits
01/22/15BusinessBarring a surprising setback, Florida Gov. Rick Scott today will proclaim that the state's economy closed 2014 in its strongest state in nearly seven years thanks to broad-based job creation pushing down the unemployment rate.
But job seekers bypassed by the recovery aren't celebrating, given another less-trumpeted statistic. Florida has just replaced North Carolina as the state offering the fewest weeks of unemployment benefits in the country. ...
Homeowners insurance: Floridians pay more than double U.S. average
01/21/15BankingIt's still more expensive to buy homeowners insurance in Florida than anywhere else in the country.
In fact, Florida homeowners are now paying more than double the national average.
Average insurance premiums statewide for the most common type of homeowners policy rose nearly 8 percent in 2012 to $2,084, according to data released this week from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners....
Tampa Bay gas prices about to slip under $2 a gallon
01/19/15EnergyTampa Bay drivers: Rev up for a milestone you haven't seen in six years. The average price of gas is poised to fall below $2 a gallon.
On Monday, average unleaded gas in the bay area dropped to $2.004 a gallon, down a penny from a day earlier and a dime cheaper than a week ago. That means prices have fallen a stunning 40 percent, or $1.30 a gallon, over the past year, according to AAA's daily fuel gauge report. ...
Report: Florida private sector job growth picks up in December
01/14/15 Economic DevelopmentAfter a mediocre November, Florida rebounded by adding a robust 21,700 private sector jobs in December, according to a report released Wednesday.
It's the single strongest month since June and bolsters economists' expectations that Florida is positioned for a strong performance in 2015.
The monthly report from payroll processing company ADP shows Florida still firmly nestled as the third-best job creator in the country behind Texas (up 31,100 jobs) and California (up 29,000 jobs)....
Recognizing same-sex benefits not new for many Tampa Bay companies
01/12/15CorporateIt took years of wrangling in the courts and the court of public opinion before gay marriage became legal last week throughout Florida.
For many businesses throughout Tampa Bay, however, the battle was fought long ago. In fact, the change in Florida law is not expected to spark much of a human resources makeover.
That's because many employers over the past 25 years have already widened their benefits packages to include domestic partners, affording them the same coverage as married couples. That's particularly true for large employers with operations across the country and for those in competitive niches trying to keep up with benefits offered by their peers....
White House's top economic adviser trumpets Tampa Bay's job growth
01/09/15BusinessWith his State of the Union speech less than two weeks away, President Barack Obama has been stressing how well the economic recovery has gone so far and rolling out new initiatives to keep it going.
This includes proposing a program to pay the tuition of many community college students, reducing the costs of Federal Housing Administration loans and renewing the call for a higher minimum wage. ...
Citizens Property Insurance sees upside to little-used clearinghouse
01/09/15BankingIt was July 2013, and Barry Gilway, head of Citizens Property Insurance, was selling his board on a new way to keep homeowners policies out of the state-run insurer of last resort.
Before placing a policy with Citizens, every Florida agent would have to run their customer's information through an online clearinghouse to see if any private insurer would provide coverage under comparable terms. ...

I just got back from the second session of the "Advanced Concealed Carry" class that I'm taking. First off I have to give credit to the instructor, Terry Tate. He's been an excellent instructor (light-years better than the guy I took the mandatory CCW course for my permit from). We've got a really small class (3 people) so we all get a lot of individualized instruction and don't have to wait long to get our chances at a drill.
The reason I'm posting about this (aside from wanting to compliment Terry) is I wanted to mention one of the drills we did that really made me think. Aside from the CCW permit course this is my first defensive handgun course, so I don't know how common this is in other instructors' training, but I haven't heard it mentioned before or seen it in any of the books I've read. I have seen/heard people recommend that you should practice shooting with your weak hand, but this goes a bit beyond that.
The drill starts with you about a yard from the bad guy (a standard silhouette target) and you have to draw and fire as you move backwards (and side to side). The catch is that you can't use your strong hand at all. Maybe you were shot or cut, disabling that arm, maybe you're trying to keep your kid out of the line of fire, but for whatever reason you must draw (from a strong side hip holster) with your weak side hand. He demonstrated the technique: basically you reach over, pull your gun out so the trigger guard clears the holster, pivot it around 180 degrees so it's sitting backwards in the holster (sort of a jackass crossdraw) then get your master grip with the weak hand, pull it out and shoot the BG.
I had it a little harder than the other people in here I had to take the safety off my v1 USP Compact with the wrong hand. At this point I ought to emphasize that if you have a gun without a safety, like the other two people in the class (one was shooting DA/SA, the other DAO) this drill can be dangerous. It seems like it would be easy to get your finger in the trigger guard while you're turning the gun around, which is probably Terry told us to take our time and not try to do this fast (it's impossible to do this really fast in any event, but given the danger there's no sense rushing it).
After the demonstration, we all had a chance to go through the drill. I gut my gun turned around, the safety off, and put two slugs though the center of mass (the range wasn't real great, but I thought it was pretty good shooting for my off hand).
Now I think this drill is really important for two reasons:
First, now that I've done it once, I know it can be done. If I'm ever in a dangerous situation and need to draw my gun with my off hand I know (and will hopefully remember) how to do it. This isn't something I'm going to practice a lot, because it's never going to be fast or pretty, but knowing what to do in this situation could save my life some day.
The second, larger lesson of this drill is to keep in the fight, no matter what happens. If the BG cuts me and incapacitates my arm, I'm not going to just sit there and give up. If my gun jams, or I get hurt, or I trip and fall, the BG isn't going to stop attacking just because I'm at some sort of unfair disadvantage due to bad luck. Marquess of Queensbury rules don't apply to a gunfight. I've got to get back in the fight and keep going until the threat is stopped.
I hope some of you find this as interesting as I did.
