Question & Answers
Answer from: Yoko
When you are at the chain, dont hurry to unlock it. put bubbles beneath the chain that matches the color that you want to crash, then you have the chance to win.
Answer from: PhysioLady
There is no chain in level 117 ... O_O
Answer from: Sky
The back is the hard part. Either break the ice to match the baby bubble color on the bottom or clear a path to get an angle shot.
Answer from: John
I'm also having a trouble to clear Level 117. First I tried to break the ice ball on the top in order to make everything underneath to fall down, but it didnt work out. The red one on the top is hard to break.
Answer from: Sky
Adding a little more detail:
- basically your priority is top down, but the execution of that will depend on the bubbles you get. So sometimes you will shoot lower just because of the bubbles you get.
- work the top/back first whenever you get the color that matches the topmost baby. Try to pop the ice bubbles near the very top to match that color. Try to keep the angle shots open to the top so you can get those bubbles when they finally turn the matching color.
- when you get other colors, place them near the baby bubbles that match them so that you can begin popping the ice next to them. This is only somewhat important as the bubble blower is going to give you colors all over the place.
- match up and use the bubbles blown by the bubble blowers to clear out the ice bubbles in front of the babies where they don't match.
- sometimes the bubble blower will help you make matches which is always nice.
- work the lowest/nearest section as the lowest priority, though match it when you can. Good luck.

The Middle East
- Founded
1971 - Seminar Number
The seminar usually meets once a month during the academic year. A prominent expert from here or abroad, commonly from the Middle East, leads a four-hour discussion at each meeting, assuring ample time for seri- ous dialogue on focused issues. The seminar provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences by Middle East experts in various spheres—business, banking and investment, federal service, the foundations, the media, and the liberal professions as well as academia. The seminar has become a medium for carefully defined and informed evaluation of stubborn problems in a region that symbolizes mounting instability and proliferating crises. Detailed minutes are circulated to participating members for use without attribution to uphold the confidentiality of the discussion.

What's happening to baby: This week, baby weighs a bit less than 2 ounces (a bar of soap weighs 3 ounces) and continues to grow at an astonishing rate.
What's happening to Mom: Your risk of miscarriage is lower now that you're in the second trimester. You should have some of your energy back, and you may even be starting to show. Enjoy the second trimester: You'll feel more like yourself, without the struggles of the first and third trimesters.

The Milk Puking Headquarters, submitted by Jeremy. Kids drink milk. Kids puke milk. Kids record kids drinking and puking milk, then make a webpage dedicated to it. Only on the Internet, folks.
The Challenge:Drink an entire gallon of milk in one hour.
WARNING!! We do not encourage anyone to do this.
Yeah, okay, whatever. Encouraging braindead idiots to puke milk is a hell of a lot more healthier than encouraging them to write websites about it. This site contains wonderful pictures of various white people with too much free time and not enough common sense to step in front a train and help ol' Uncle Darwinism out. Make sure to take a look at their wonderful photo gallery, which features (of all odd things) them puking milk. It's fun AND educational! And stupid!
PS: There's a guestbook you can sign, but you wussy vitamin-D people can't. This is only for the hardcore 2% brutes!

Neiman Marcus lights beacons for in-store shoppers
The high-end fashion retailer is piloting beacons in three stores, using the mobile technology to send shoppers directions to in-store events.
Subscribe for free and receive the most trusted source of e-commerce analysis and intelligence either right to your door step or via e-mail every month.
A handful of retailers are riding high on the mobile commerce wave. What's keeping others out of the water?
On a Friday night a couple of months ago, Doug Mack, CEO of furniture and home décor flash sale retailer One Kings Lane, was sitting at home and decided to take a look at his company's web analytics. He immediately noticed a big spike in sales for a Friday night. A little digging showed that someone had purchased a vintage Hermès wallet for $17,000. And they had bought the wallet through the One Kings Lane iPhone app.
That mobile purchase was no fluke. The retailer also has sold through mobile commerce a freestanding oval bathtub for $7,999, a vintage turban ring for $7,499, a pair of Napoleon III blue linen bergère chairs for $7,249, a Lexicon dressing cabinet for $6,999, and a Darla rug for $6,998.
"Apple taught people to buy songs and apps on their phones. It got people used to buying small things," Mack says. "Today there is no ceiling on mobile in terms of what people are willing to buy."
Mack projects One Kings Lane will reach $44 million in mobile commerce sales this year, up 193% from an Internet Retailer-estimated $15 million in 2011. "25% of our web sales are mobile, and they will eventually be more mobile than web," he says. "It's inevitable."
Conducive to mobile
But for most retailers mobile is not nearly as big a part of their business or budgets. In fact, One Kings Lane is among a handful of web-only, flash sale and TV/web retailers that together account for more than half of all mobile commerce sales. That seems out of sync with the behavior of consumers, who are not only buying smartphones and tablet computers in big numbers, but using them with growing frequency to research products and buy. The disparity between what consumers and retailers are doing raises questions about why many retailers are slow to invest in mobile commerce, and whether they risk getting swamped as more shopping moves to mobile phones and tablets.
That consumers have enthusiastically embraced mobile devices is easy to see. Half of all mobile phones in use today in the United States are smartphones. Manufacturers sold 26.6 million tablets in the United States in 2011—the first full year after Apple Inc. essentially invented the category with the April 2010 release of the iPad—that number will increase to 37.9 million this year and 57.1 million in 2015, Forrester Research Inc. predicts.
The retailers, travel companies and ticket sellers seeking to reach these mobile-happy consumers by investing in mobile commerce are collectively generating billions of dollars in mobile sales, and mobile devices represent a steadily growing share of their online traffic.
The top 400 retailers, travel companies and ticket sellers involved in mobile commerce worldwide illustrate the potential: They will grow their mobile sales to $12.14 billion in 2012, up 101.4% from $6.03 billion in 2011, according to the new 2013 Internet Retailer Mobile 400. The guide is a compendium of mobile commerce research, articles, charts and more that ranks the top 400 players by projected 2012 m-commerce sales.
A separate study by Forrester Research is almost as bullish in terms of growth. Forrester projects $10 billion in U.S. mobile commerce sales in 2012, up 66.7% from $6 billion in 2011. Forrester only includes sales of merchandise. The research firm does not include the mobile travel and ticket sales that make up 27.5%, or $3.34 billion, of 2012 Mobile Commerce Top 400 sales. Excluding travel and ticketing, the Mobile 400 projects retail merchandise sales of $8.80 billion, a bit lower than Forrester's prediction for all retailers, not just the top 400.
Add eBay Inc. into the mix and the mobile commerce pot gets much larger. EBay, which is not included in either the Mobile 400 or Forrester figures because it is a marketplace not a retailer that sells merchandise on its own behalf, projects $10 billion in m-commerce sales this year, double the $5 billion from 2011. The Mobile 400 and eBay combined rack up $22.14 billion in 2012 m-commerce sales.
The leaders
While a doubling of sales suggests a rapidly growing market, a closer look at the Mobile 400 data shows that sales are highly concentrated. Amazon.com Inc. will reach $4.00 billion in mobile sales in 2012, Internet Retailer estimates, and Apple Inc. will hit $1.17 billion in web-only sales of apps, music, video and e-books. Seven other web-only merchants bring plenty to the table, and three of them are flash-sale retailers: Gilt Groupe, at $129.6 million; RueLaLa.com, $67.5 million; and One Kings Lane, $44.0 million. The other four e-retailers are Overstock.com, $63.1 million; Buy.com, $57.5 million; Newegg, $31.2 million; and Yoox Group, $29.7 million. Then there are the TV/web retailers that have been m-commerce pioneers: QVC, $350.0 million; HSN Inc., $110.0 million; and ShopNBC, $60.0 million.
That adds up to $6.11 billion, meaning these nine web-only retailers and three TV/web retailers control 50.3% of the Mobile 400's $12.14 billion in total 2012 sales, not counting eBay. Exclude sales from travel firms and ticket sellers and those 12 merchants account for 69.4% of total mobile retail sales of $8.80 billion.
Why are these dozen companies so successful in mobile while others are holding back? "The mobile story is being driven by a handful of pure-play retailers with unique aspects to their products or business models that carry over well to mobile," says Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research. By "pure-play" she means they don't operate bricks-and-mortar stores.
Mulpuru-Kodali says Amazon.com rules by being the de facto shopping search engine in mobile commerce and by offering one-touch buying, a process consumers with Amazon accounts can use to speedily buy products. Gilt Groupe, One Kings Lane and RueLaLa use the flash-sale business model that lends itself to mobile, as deal hunters away from their desktop PCs can nab items before the sales or inventory run out.

Hawaii's Aqua Hospitality acquired by parent of Aston Hotels & Resorts
- Stephanie Silverstein
- Reporter- Pacific Business News
- Email | Twitter
Honolulu-based hotel management company Aqua Hospitality has been sold to Vacation Holdings Hawaii, the parent of Aston Hotels & Resorts and a subsidiary of Miami-based Interval Leisure Group, for undisclosed terms, Interval Leisure Group said Thursday.
Aqua Hospitality currently manages 26 properties in Hawaii and two on Guam, while Aston Hotels and Resorts manages 24 properties in Hawaii, and manages properties on the Mainland in Florida, Nevada and California, giving Vacation Holdings Hawaii 50 Hawaii-managed hotel, resort and condominium properties.
Vacation Holdings Hawaii President Kelvin Bloom told PBN on Thursday that the two companies combined create a strong presence in the Islands, and present an exceptional opportunity for expansion on the Mainland and, potentially, internationally.
"This transaction gives the companies greater operational strength and marketing penetration as well as substantial buying power to help our owners in their properties better compete in the marketplace," Bloom said.
He told PBN there will no management, employee or branding changes.
"I think Aqua and Aston, along with all the properties we manage, will benefit from integrating best practices from both companies," he said. "That'll take place over a period of time, but I think certainly our owner clients, along with travel partners and employees, I think will all see a benefit from the power of the two companies."
Vacation Holdings Hawaii bought Aston Hotels & Resorts in 2007.
Craig. M. Nash, chairman, president and CEO of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), said the acquisition of Aqua Hospitality furthers the company's strategy to expand its fee-for-service business model in highly desirable destinations.

By offering HDInsight as an Azure cloud service, Clark said Microsoft is providing the benefits of open-source Hadoop with the security and management capabilities most businesses require. The service is integrated with Excel and Power BI (the business intelligence component of Office 365) and supports .NET, Java and other programming languages.

This isn't directed solely at you. It seems the opinion of many posters. Why the aversion to drafting a wr with a first? I submit the following champions. I don't want to go Matt Millen and draft em every year. But, as the evidence shows. Targeting and drafting one can help you win a championship. 72-73 Dolphins - Traded a 1st 3rd overall for Paul Warfield. 70'S Steelers - Drafted Lynn Swann 21st overall in 74 and won 4 of next 6. 82-91 Redskins - 3X Champs had Art Monk a 1st Rounder in 1980 18th overall. 88-94 49'ers - Traded up with our Pats in 85 after already winning 2 Super Bowls and drafted Jerry Rice. Won 3 more. 90's Cowboys - Michael Irvin 88 and Alvin Harper 91 were 1st Rounders. Won 3. 99 Rams - Drafted Tory Holt in the first. 06 Colts - Marvin Harrison 96 and Reggie Wayne in 01. 08 Steelers - Santonio Holmes is a major douche bag. But, he did help them win a Super Bowl. 11 NYG - Hakeem Nicks in 2009.
I know you have all been dying for this.... so here it is. My heat map for the Patriots roster (before free agency or the draft) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApWRaF25BKdAdHV6ZXlIMnNBQ3FNQXNhc0IweWJ6bUE&usp=sharing As expected, weakness at WR, Oline and the secondary. Quality depth would not be turned away from any position. Blueprint (subject to change) Before free agency 1) Sign Edelman - Provides a poor mans version of Welker and an impact special teams player at a reasonable price point 2) Try to sign Vollmer - Provides long-term stability at tackle 3) Let Welker and Talib go to free agency Free Agency 4) Mid to low range targets - Outside WR, OT 5) If money will be spent, spend it on the secondary Draft 6) Take BPA from the following positions OT, CB, S (unless a steal emerges)
with the news that the pats are relunctant of giving talib a multi year deal what about johnathan banks from miss state hes 6 2 had 16 int's through his collegiate career and was an all american hes dropped recently in many mocks not having him in the first round i would definitely take him at 29 if he was available
I don't think he is. It seems that his rookie contract obligations still apply, because he was claimed by Philly, not signed as a UFA by them. Otherwise, I agree with you that I would like to have him back here for OTAs & TC.
McDonald may be a 3rd year guy, but he fell behind Donald Thomas, which wasn't a good thing. Zusevics was a rookie this year. I think you are thinking of Matt Kopa who was signed away by another team (Eagles?). In the long run, it's going to be harder to keep Vollmer than Welker. As some people have pointed out, there will probably be a team (KC) who gives him LT money. The Pats aren't likely to do that. Not with his injury history. From the fan perspective, Connolly's best position is center. I think the team kept Wendell there for continuity purposes once Connolly returned from being injured. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I could see the Pats moving Connolly to Center, Cannon playing either RG or RT, a draft pick playing the other position that Cannon isn't in. I'll agree with you on DB and WR. I don't agree about the DL. That is, of course, unless BB has settled on going back to the 3-4 as their full-time base. And he could do that given the addition of Armstead. Of course, that would also depend on Belichick being happy having Deaderick as the full-time LDE. If that isn't the case, then they'll stick with the 4-3 and they have plenty of D-linemen. Going into camp they'll have Wilfork, Love, Deaderick, Forston, Pryor, Armstead and Robertson for DT. At DE, they'll have Jones, Ninkovich, Francis and Cunningham. They could also have Vega if he's released from his CFL contract. With Fletcher and Tarpinian added to Hightower, Mayo, and Spikes, the Pats have a pretty solid LB corps for the 4-3, though it's not spectacular and they would have to run Spikes and Hightower off in favor or Fletcher for coverage, unless they added someone. I think that they do need to add a CB because I don't see Arrington being retained. He wasn't all that on special teams this year and he's been declining as a CB unless he's playing press in the STAR position. I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats add a taller safety. Someone who might be able to cover the taller TEs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats sign a ton of UDFA to realy put the pressure on the fringe players like Pryor, Wendell, McDonald, Ebert, Tarpinian, Danny Aiken. I wouldn't be surprised if 3-4 of the UDFA were WRs..
Someone who is supposedly a free agent is Patrick Edwards. He is coming off a knee injury and it would be interesting to see how he does. He's a kid that was very similar to Welker in that he forced his way onto the UH team and became one of their best players. Yes, he'll have to be given a physical to see how his knee is, but He could be a very inexpensive option that could pay big dividends.
The way I look at this off-season. We have 6 areas I'd really like to upgrade if we lose; Welker, Talib and Vollmer. We have our cap space and top 2 picks. Hate to count on a 3rd rounder to do anything. Maybe, we get a pick for Mallett. Who knows? My priorities in order 1. CB - If not talib, a veteran is a requirement. Not a need. DRC, Brent Grimes, Cary Williams or Sean Smith. Just don't trust our scouting to pick one in the first. 2. WR - If not White Wes, need a number one. My preference would be to trade for Percy Harvin. Maybe, Boldin if he's cut. Greg Jennings would be my 2nd preference. I'm not as big on Mike Wallace and Dwayne Bowe as others. Neither is sure handed. I view Hartline as a complimentary receiver. Not a go to guy. Amendola too injury prone. My next two positions are SS and T. Can't spend big bucks here because I did on cb and wr. Maybe a 1st rounder and a vet that won't break the bank. Heck, Baltimore got good ol play with the corpse of Bryant McKinnie at RT. 3. SS - Kenny Vaccaro - Texas - I'd rather go pass rusher in the first. But, safety is too big of a need to pass up. Maybe, Matt Elam - Florida or Eric Reid - LSU. If we have multiple 2nd's because of Mallett trade and trade backs. Cyprien from Richmond is a possibility. I'm not as hung up on getting a thumper as many others. The game is played in space. Thumpers make an impact against us because we throw inside the hashes more than any other team. If I were defending the Pats, I'd want one. Most of the teams we will have to beat throw outside the numbers. Pats drafted the ideal SS for today's game 33 years ago!! Roland James. A college cb who ran track. Couldn't beat out Mike Haynes and Ray Clayborn. We moved him to safety. I can be talked out of Vaccarro. Hard position to scout on tv and youtube. I do value the position though. 4. RT - I'm giving Marcus Cannon first crack at it. But, would like a veteran to back him up. Just in case it doesn't work out. Maybe, Scar can get his mitts on someone like Jason Smith after the Jets cut him and work with him. Should come pretty cheap. We had a great offense in 04 with Ashworth and in 07 with Nick Kaczur. A guy like Brian Winters in the 3rd should ease concerns. Next two spots are for areas I'd like to get production out of. But, not at the expense of the first four areas. 5. Pass Rush - I'm hoping Armond Armstead can play the 3-tech in our nickel. Love can man the fort on 1st down. Need pressure up the middle. My hope would be to get a guy like Datone Jones - UCLA or Ziggy Ansah in the first. But, have other holes to fill. We do have a lot of young de's. Maybe, one steps up opposite Chandler Jones. Unless we get that 6pick for Mallett, I doubt we have the ammo to fill this slot. 6. Developmental WR - I'm using my 2nd rounder here. Maybe he can produce right away. Two guys the board has talked about a lot would be my preferences. Quinton Patton or Markus Wheaton. Free Agents DRC - CB Greg Jennings - WR Jason Smith - T Draft 1. Kenny Vaccarro - S - Texas 2. Quinton Patton - wr - La Tech 3. Brian Winters - OL - Kent St Hope we have enough to keep Edelman and D. Thomas on offense. Cutting Fells and re-upping Hooman and Ballard. That should wash out. On defense, letting scott and chung walk. Would love to get a veteran olb who is good against the pass. Re-upping M. Cole and K. Arrington if cheap enough. Not as good as I'd like to be at cb or de on defense. Praying Ras-I Dowling can stay healthy. He's due isn't he? Hoping a guy like Francis, Bequette or Cunningham can spell Ninko. Would like to cut down on Ninko's and Vince's snaps. They play too much IMO. Area of concern on offense is the OL. But, if we sign a cheap vet and get a decent one in the 3rd. That might not be a problem.
Why are you under the impression that Ballard is a free agent? He spent the entire year on the PUP. Because of that, his contract was not tolled, so he is under contract for the Pats next year. As is Myron Pryor. This has been talked about ad nauseum in a half dozen different threads. Some of which you have posted in.

So incredibly true! WOW! They hit the nail on the head!!!
In honour of all my teacher friends. IF A DOCTOR, LAWYER, OR DENTIST HAD 40 PEOPLE IN HIS OFFICE AT ONE TIME, ALL OF WHOM HAD DIFFERENT NEEDS, AND SOME OF WHOM DIDN'T WANT TO BE THERE AND WERE CAUSING TROUBLE, AND THE DOCTOR, LAWYER, OR DENTIST, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE, HAD TO TREAT THEM ALL WITH PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE FOR NINE MONTHS, THEN HE MIGHT HAVE SOME CONCEPTION OF THE CLASSROOM TEACHER'S JOB. ~DONALD D.

Food for thought.
This is so true... I was told once by a teacher that children retain better if they are using three or more motor skills at the same time... see, hear, do, or see, say, do... any combination of three helps them rertain more. I've seen this with Bree teaching Katie letters - not only totally adorable, but it really worked well for her.

In some ways, virtual security of your data center can be easier to manage than physical security. At least, some data center managers seem to be more concerned about the former than they are the latter. Yet physical security breaches make up a significant portion of data center security risks.
Fortunately, there are ways you can build physical security into your data center. While some of these principles apply primarily to new data center construction, there are components that can be used just about anywhere:
- Choose the right location. Stay away from airports, power plants, and bad neighborhoods. Get at least 100 feet from the main road, more if possible. Be at least 30 miles from your headquarters. Stay off fault lines and flood plains.
- Install redundant utility feeds. You should have at least two feeds each for power, water, voice, and data. Make sure each feed comes in from a separate direction, and that they don't trace back to the same substation.
- Minimize windows. If you need some windows in the administrative area or break room, use bomb-resistant glass.
- Utilize landscaping. There are a number of types of landscaping that will hide the building from passing vehicles, such as boulders, trees, and gulleys. You can also use fending to obscure the view and keep cars from getting too close.
- Consider retractable barriers. Retractable crash barriers to control access to your lot and your loading dock can help to minimize physical risk.
- Limit the number of entry points to the building. There should be exactly two ways into the building: one for the main entrance to the data center and a loading dock for equipment.
- Emergency doors should be exit only. You're going to have to have more doors than that, of course. Install doors that don't have outside handles, and make sure that an alarm sounds and the security command center is notified when one of these doors is open.
- Lots of cameras. Surveillance cameras at the perimeter, entrances, access points, and more should be used as much as possible. Consider adding motion-detection devices and low-light cameras, too.

By Carmen Gonzalez Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small. With the rapid adoption in public cloud – both rogue and sanctioned, it's not uncommon to find regulated data dumped into public cloud and unprotected. This is why enterprises and cloud providers alike need to embrace a cloud data governance function and map policies, processes and technology controls accordingly.
In her session at 15th Cloud Expo, Evelyn de Souza, Data Privacy and Compliance Strategy Leader at Cisco Systems, will focus on how to set up a cloud data governance program and s... Mar. 4, 2015 04:15 PM EST Reads: 992 |
By Jon McNeill Every innovation or invention was originally a daydream. You like to imagine a "what-if" scenario. And with all the attention being paid to the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) you don't have to stretch the imagination too much to see how this may impact commercial and homeowners insurance. We're beyond the point of accepting this as a leap of faith.
The groundwork is laid. Now it's just a matter of time.
