Awesome app until...
Awesome app. It helped me teach my child how to communicate simple things before he was able to speak. After I updated to IOS 8, however, it will not run at all. Seems I will now have to buy a different app to help me teach my second child. I paid for the app, and feel let down now by the company that produced this: iDev. I will likely look elsewhere for my next app. I suggest you do the same to discourage this type of behavior from companies that make apps.
I enjoy this! It has pictures and it makes it simple to learn ad i able to get it quicker!

"Skinny Dip"
I listen to my audible books while I commute to work. This one I could not stop listening to. This is the first book I actually listend to out of the car. I just couldn't get enough. The characters were great and the story was most entertaining.
"Good bye Womens Murder Club"
Had I realized that Carolyn McCormick was not reading this book. I never would have purchased it. This reader is one of the worst. Everyone sounds the same. I did no finish it.
Anger that I wasted a credit on this book.
If you have listened to the previous books read by Carolyn McCormick, you will be disappointed.
Inspiational,Sincere and Honest
TRue an heartfelt.
As a PD patiaent it gave me hope and comfort.
Having just been diaginosed with Parkinson's Disease, I was looking for some first hand information. I knew that MJ Foxx had started a foundation but until I read this book I did not know the amount of commitment he had put into finding a cure for PD. I think anyone with or without PD will be inspired by his story in this book and his first book: Lucky Man
"Could hardly get past the narration"
I almost stopped listening to this book because Susie Breck's narration was terrible. Luckily Dick Hill did a good part as the male narrator and the story was interesting enough to let me finish. That said there were parts of thte story that were just too far fetched. A police officer with a bullet wound that kept bleeding everytime she moved would hardly be allowed on active duty. For $4.95 special price it was ok but I won't waste credits on t he next books in hte series.
"Spellbinding- A True life Thriller"
This is a must read for anyone with a brokerage account or 401K. If you think the Security Exchange Commission is protecting you, think again. It also enforces the reality that if someone is promising investmet returns that seem to good to be true, thye probably are.
"A Great Series"
This is the final book in the series and it was fantastic! The reader did all of the unique character voices and they were "spot on" from one book the the next.
You don't havve to be a kid to enjoy Percy Jackson and his friends.
"King is Back"
I used to read everything by King but have been dissapointed in the last few year with stories like the Colorado Kid and the Cell(which was the Stand in modern times)
Duma Key is like the older King novels that I used to love. John Slattery the reader brings these characters to life. I will be searching audible for some of the other books he reads.
"A True Sucess Story"
I watched the casino "reality" show and did not believe it. I wanted to know the real story and this book gave me that and more. It is a true sucess story but it is also a story about friendship.
Good narator.
This book is one of the best books I have listened to in years. Learn what is being done in the world of alternative energy and renewable fuel. Learn why and how we must reduce our dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels.
If you are concerned with the high price of gas, heating fuel and other present day forms of energy I encourage you to read this book. It is loaded with hard facts and scientific evidence that lay out the reasons why we must reduce carbon emissions. I found it fascinating to discover all of the alternative energy sources that are being worked on and look forward to seeing some of these become a reality in the future.
Until I listened to this book I had never heard of the Cap and Trade proposal for carbon emissions but by the time I finished the book I realized its importance and was e-mailing my Senators to support this leglisation.
"Good Listen"
I enjoyed this book. I love Las Vegas and stories set in the city, even if some of the locations were fiction.
I liked the character and narrator and will check out his other two books
There goes 14 hours of my life I will never get back!
I don't usually write reviews but felt I should warn others not to waste their money especially since "This is Audible" radio show has been touting this book again because it was released in paperback.
Book and narrator were equally boring!

Description: By the year 2025, the planet Mars, long inhabited by human settlers, has become the manifest destiny of an over-populated Earth. Nearly 640,000 people now live and work all over Mars, mining the planet for its abundant natural resources. But one of those mining operations has uncovered a deadly mother lode: a long dormant Martian civilization whose warriors are systematically taking over the bodies of human intruders. Lt. Melanie Ballard of the Martian Police Force is on transport assignment to bring James "Desolation" Williams, the planet's most notorious criminal, to justice. Williams has no plans to make Ballard's job easy. What begins as a battle of force and wits between cop and criminal soon turns into something more fundamental: a battle for human survival in the realm of the Martian warriors. It's civilization against civilization as Ballard and Williams join forces in mortal combat with the Ghosts of Mars.

Having just read a similar piece pitting HTML 5 against native apps (http://mashable.com/2012/09/12/web-vs-native-apps/), I was interested to see if the eBook world saw things the same way. I found Kleinfeld's position surprising because O'Reilly acquired Threepress Consulting and, with that, Ibis Reader. Ibis Reader is an eReader written in HTML 5 and a living example of how very close a web app can approximate a native app. The big problems with native apps is cost and scalability, problems that don't obtain with HTML 5 or ePub for that matter. Write once, read everywhere.
I think that Adam Engst (TidBits) sets up a straw man when he asserts that there is a movement afoot to gratuitously replace text with linear and interactive media, a movement that will inevitably fail. As he points out toward the end, we already have movies and television replacing text.
What I think is actually happening is that authors are just beginning to grapple with the integration of media and text and the early results are less than stellar. This will improve just as desktop publishing got better once we got over our fascination with and abuse of fonts.
That transition won't be eve either. For example, fiction may not benefit from new media as non-fiction might.

Advanced Archive Password Recovery v2.0 Review
How many times have you decided that you just needed to protect some of your work with a password... and then forgot it? If you're like many, then this is something that can happen from time to time. Jon "Albinus" Albiez takes a look at the Advanced Archive Password Recovery program to see if it has what it takes to help us in our moment of need.Introduction
Has there ever been a time where you have forgotten a password to a compressed file? And the fuss that follows? Well, I was recently invited to review a product from the Russian company ElcomSoft , which specialises in password recovery solutions. Their latest product in recovering ZIP, RAR, ACE and ARJ passwords is Advanced Archive Password Recovery (ARCHPR), now in its second version. How does this product perform? Let's find out!
First Impressions
After establishing contact with ElcomSoft, they sent me a serial to activate the full registered version of the program. This is a simple matter of cutting and pasting the serial in, not very complicated at all. Here's a look at the program interface:
I tested an earlier version of ARCHPR a few years ago, and this was rather tricky to use, because it was run from the command prompt. This version features a very slick and easy-to-use interface, and is quite stable as well (no crashes occurred). It quickly occurred to me "maybe crackers could use this to maliciously hack encrypted files?" But after investigating further, this would have to be a rather small problem, as you will see later.

The Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), the international standard-setting organisation for Islamic finance, has clarified the industry's regulations in two new reports.
The Shari'a Standards 2010 publication contains a total of 41 Shari'a standards including stipulations for gharar (uncertainty) in financial transactions, arbitration, waqf (endowment), ijarah (leasing) on Labour, zakah (alms), contingent obligations, credit facilities, online financial transactions, rahn (pledge), investment accounts and profit distribution, and Islamic reinsurance.
Another publication, Accounting, Auditing and Governance Standards 2010, contains a total of 40 standards covering the areas of accounting, auditing, ethics, and governance for Islamic financial institutions.
Among the new standards included in the publication are an accounting standard on investments in associates, a statement of governance principles, and a governance standard on corporate social responsibility.
Dr Mohamad Nedal Alchaar, Secretary General of AAOIFI, said that the standards would help Islamic financial institutions throughout the world to ensure that the products and services they offered complied with Shari'a.
"The standards have also managed to introduce a high degree of harmonisation of Islamic finance practices across the major Islamic finance markets and consequently place the industry in a stronger position to expand," he said in a statement.
Development of AAOIFI's standards was undertaken by its Shari'a Board – acknowledged as the leading global authority on Shari'a for international Islamic finance – and Accounting and Auditing Standards Board.

Cincinnati Five-Way Chili
Made This Recipe? Add Your Photo
Total Time
30 minsCook
1 hrCreated in 1922 by a northern Greek immigrant who wanted to put some of the Old Country spices into chili. This chili can be eaten several ways. One-way chili: spiced chili alone. Two-way chili: chili on top of spaghetti. Three-way chili: chili on top of spaghetti, topped with shredded cheese. Four-way chili: chili on top of spaghetti, topped with shredded cheese and chopped onion. Five-way chili: chili on top of spaghetti, topped with shredded cheese, chopped onion, and beans.
Nutrition- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 1⁄2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 1⁄2 cup commercial barbecue sauce (a sweet, nonsmoky variety)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate square
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 lb thick spaghetti, cooked
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and warmed
- In a small bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients; set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add in ground beef; cook until meat is browned, breaking up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
- When the beef is browned, add in onion, garlic, spice mix; stir/saute 1 minute.
- Add in tomato sauce, water, BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chocolate, and bay leaves.
- Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour (it should look more like a thick sauce than the chili most people are used to).
- Remove bay leaves.
- To serve five-way: distribute spaghetti among 8 bowls; spoon chili over spaghetti.
- Top chili with cheddar cheese, onion, and kidney beans.

West Virginia adds aviation to recreation use laws
A bill adding aircraft operations to its definition of non-commercial recreational use has passed in West Virginia. This Recreation Use Statute (RUS) protects landowners from liability for allowing recreation on their lands. The bill, signed by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, will take effect May 12.
This makes West Virginia the 25th state in the nation to add aviation to its RUS, according to officials with the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF).

Goodbye fellow Canadians,
I am departing to my native region: CANADIAN REGIONS,
It was enjoyable taking refuge here, I will miss all of you dearly.
The McDavid will be won via lottery balls. No one will catch the Buffaloes but my proud and mighty MapleLeafs are gonna try to get the sweet sweet lottery balls of third or second last.
Guys a bit of help here. "Dètruire tout, c'est une obligation" does translate to "Destroy everything, it's an order". Right?
I would suggest "Détruisez tout, c'est un ordre."
Obligation is pretty similar to English, or it could just about be "duty", but more of a social necessity than a military order.
You definitely need an acute, not a grave on détruisez/détruire. The latter version is if OK you intended it to apply to just one person, détruisez applies to many (or as a polite form to one).
Thus spoke The Prime Chris:
"I have decided to once again enter the arena of world affairs, and bring the wisdom of Most Wonder of Names to the world as a whole, so as to bring benefit to all who bare the Name regardless of what country they call home. It is thus that The Chris Brotherhood has rejoined the World Assembly."
Ok, thanks man.
