St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Evan Longoria clubbed three home runs and the Tampa Bay Rays ended the Baltimore Orioles' hopes for an AL East title with a 4-1 triumph in the finale of a three-game set Wednesday at Tropicana Field.
Longoria, who scorched a game-winning, wild-card-clinching 12th-inning homer in the Rays' final regular-season game last year, homered in each of his first three plate appearances to help the Rays (90-72) complete their third straight 90-win campaign.
Jeremy Hellickson (10-11) struck out six and walked one over 5 1/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball to earn the victory.
Adam Jones knocked in the lone run for the Orioles (92-69), who managed just two hits in each of the last two games.
The O's will visit the Rangers in the first-ever wild-card game on Friday after Texas lost to the AL West champion Oakland Athletics earlier on Wednesday.
Chris Tillman (9-3) absorbed the loss after giving up three runs on four hits with five strikeouts over five frames.
The Rays struck in their first at-bat, as Longoria stroked a two-out blast into the left-field seats to give the home team a 1-0 lead.
Hellickson retired 11 straight batters before Chris Davis reached base on a dropped third strike in the fourth. Davis then went to third on Jones' single to right field, but Hellickson grounded out Matt Wieters to escape the frame.
In the fourth, Longoria crushed a change-up deep into the left-field bleachers to double the Rays' advantage.
After Matt Joyce fanned, Ryan Roberts launched a towering fly ball that barely cleared the wall in left field for a 3-0 lead.
Hellickson walked Manny Machado to start the sixth before popping out Nate McLouth. Jake McGee then took over on the mound and flied out J.J. Hardy before striking out Davis to end the sixth.
Longoria clubbed his third home run of the night in the bottom half when he belted a slider over the wall in straightaway center field for a 4-0 edge.
Longoria had a shot at a record-tying fourth home run in the eighth, but he grounded out weakly to third to end the frame.
Hardy stroked a leadoff double in the ninth, moved to third on defensive indifference and scored two batters later on Jones' sacrifice fly.
Wieters followed with a single before Fernando Rodney entered from the bullpen and flied out Jim Thome to nail down his 48th save of the season.
It was Longoria's second career three-homer game ... The Rays finished 47-27
with Longoria in the starting lineup, but went just 43-45 without him ...
Baltimore won 10 of 18 matchups with the Rays this season to win the season
series for the first time since 2007 ... Rodney set the major league record
for earned run average by a relief pitcher (min. 50 IP) with a 0.60 ERA,
surpassing former Oakland A's reliever Dennis Eckersley's mark of 0.61 set in
1990 ... Jones became the first Oriole to play in 162 games since Miguel
Tejada in 2006.
Oklahoma running back Keith Ford has been suspended indefinitely for violating academic and team rules, Sooners coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday.
Qualifying for NASCAR national touring series races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway will no longer feature a pack of cars running together.
If Teddy Bridgewater taught us anything, it's trust the tape, at least over a pro day.
The Seattle Mariners granted pitcher Kevin Correia his unconditional release Monday, one day after assigning the veteran to minor league camp.
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders announced that center Nikola Pekovic would miss the remainder of the season after sustaining an ankle injury in March.
The Minnesota Wild agreed to terms on entry-level contracts with goaltender Brody Hoffman and defenseman Zach Palmquist on Monday.

Dehlinger Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
#5 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011
The fruit for our "Estate Pinot Noirs" comes from the hilltop sections of the vineyard. The wines tend to showcase darker fruit flavors and aromas of baking spices. The inclusion of a small percentage of whole clusters in the fermentation lends greater structure and aging potential to these bottlings.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Aromas of plum and blackberry jam turn firm and intense on the palate, gaining depth, nuance and traction. Finishes with a strong burst of flavors. Drink now through 2018. 1,050 cases made."
The Wine Advocate - "The flagship Pinot, the 2008 Pinot Noir Estate, comes from the finest hilltop parcels in his beautiful Russian River vineyard. Its dense plum/ruby color is followed by a perfumed nose of forest floor, and sweet black raspberries, black cherries and plums intermixed with a hint of Asian spice. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, good acidity and purity, it demonstrates a commitment to intelligent winemaking. These wines are never over-oaked or extreme in any fashion. The 2008 Pinot Noirs continue Dehlinger's nearly unbroken record of success with Pinot that started in the mid-seventies. "
International Wine Cellar - "Bright ruby-red. Deeply pitched black raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a floral nuance that becomes more pronounced with air. Juicy, penetrating dark fruit and bitter cherry flavors are given spine by tangy acidity and become sweeter on the back half. Rich but lively pinot with excellent closing thrust and lingering florality. By all means give this wine some bottle age. Dehlinger told me that this bottling was made from fruit from his highest-altitude vines."

Dehlinger Winery
The Dehlinger vineyard, family operated since 1975, comprises 45 acres of rolling hillside vines on a mixture of Goldridge and Altamont soils in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. A landmark Octagon House, also dating from 1975, stands atop a hill near the entrance to the property. Varietals grown and produced are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with a combined annual volume averaging 7000 cases. The winery is owned by winemaker Tom Dehlinger and his wife, Carole, who live together on the property. Two of their four children, Carmen and Eva, have been involved full-time with the operation since 2008. View all Dehlinger Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Natural Linen Paige Backless Counter Stool 2 2
Well made counterstool The counterstool is well made and meets most of our expectations. We are glad that the stools did not require assembly. The only thing that we are disappointed about is that you cannot remove the seat cushion to recover. The frame and seat are glued together. It was our desire to recover the cushion because the original fabric is so light, but this is not possible. October 15, 2014

"The question is, how do we get more women to make a second film, and more men to make a first? That's where my attention is—building some kind of legacy around these films and filmmakers. They can't all be one-offs. We have to start creating names for these directors so you know a Tina Mabry film when you see it. And you know the difference between a Tina Mabry film and a Dee Rees film. And then, yo, where are the brothers? Barry [Jenkins], Dennis [Dortch], everybody's trying. I think my fear is a Theodore Witcher syndrome, which I really don't wanna see people fall into. He made a beautiful first film [Love Jones], and for all kinds of reasons, a decade has passed without a follow-up. I just don't want this moment we're in to be a wave that comes and goes."

Tablet computers are helping Agriculture Department surveyors collect and share data more effectively. (Stock image)
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), housed within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, surveys more than 12,000 farmers and agriculture experts annually to gather data that impacts the price of food and the futures and commodities markets.
For 150 years, these field workers – often retired farmers in their 60s or 70s, some in their 90s – conducted those interviews with pencil and paper. Sometimes field workers query farmers over the phone or by mail, but the questions are usually asked in person, during visits to farms all across the country.
Over the past two years, NASS transitioned from pencil and paper to digital surveying, deploying iPads to its in-person surveyors in the culmination of an in-house effort that began in 2009 with the creation of the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) Operational Efficiency Project.
USDA's Pam Hird, who spoke July 9 at the Federal Mobile Computing Summit in Washington, D.C., said CAPI has "worked beautifully," seamlessly integrating security with increased performance, decreased costs and a training program that turns computer-newbie surveyors into iPad-proficient users in just 13 hours.
The end result has been faster, more accurate surveys, leading to better NASS forecasts that ensure, for instance, that American consumers aren't taken by surprise at the increased price of milk the next time they visit the grocery store.
"We're seeing surveys returned in 72 hours, giving us a longer time to analyze the data, which helps us set better estimates," Hird, who manages the iPad-based surveying program, said. "We've eliminated the mail stuff with paper, and we're able to extend the data collection period, allowing response rates to go up significantly."
Response rates have increased up to eight points in some states, meaning more ag-related information comes in to the department in less time -- and for less money.
"Right now, we're saving roughly [$3 million to 5 million] annually, and we're hoping to incorporate [CAPI] into larger surveys – hoping to raise savings to $10 million annually," Hird said. "That's a lot of money in a time when we're supposed to be looking for savings."
How it works
In-person surveyors, also called enumerators, take 12 hours of formal in-house classroom training – a curriculum that has been streamlined by NASS over the past 18 months, Hird said. The formal training typically comes after trainees attend one of many workshops NASS conducts across the country, where they are allowed an hour to handle iPads -- a first-time experience for many of the workers.
Once enumerators finish training, they hit the field, tablet in hand. The agency-issued devices come with four layers of security, designed to keep survey information from being shared with any outside party.
On a field visit, an enumerator must first log into the iPad, then log into the NASS' system, and then enter yet another code to access a producer's information and download questionnaires from the department's cloud into a browser window that operates entirely on the iPad's operational memory. In this way, no information is stored on the iPad itself, providing a fourth layer of security in case an iPad is misplaced, Hird said.
Because rural America does not always have thriving Internet connections, CAPI ensures the iPads come with a variety of tools that assist enumerators, including software to continuously seek an Internet signal and upload information asynchronously upon detecting one. Surveyed data streams to the department's cloud, and built-in tools let supervisors examine questionnaires for editing, organizing and oversight purposes.
"We hired firms to hack our systems, and they could not," Hird said. "We have not had any security breaches."

I have been an enumerator in N.E. Colorado for over thirty years. From my own experience over 80% of my interviews have been on the telephone. If i did use the I-pad in the field i would not have the reception in my area. If i did get on line it might stop responding, annoying the respondent and taking too much of their time. In the past several months this has happened a large number of times even between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m..
Also the system has been down a number of times. I have documented some of this for the first part of July.

GFI challenge
I'm installing a GFI I'm putting two wires on the load side. One wire is slightly smaller than the other. When I screw the tightener, I cant get a grip on the smaller wire. Looking for ideas. Thank You.
the more important question is why do you have two different gauges of wires on the same circuit?
do you have 12 and 14 AWG on the same circuit? If so what size breaker is protecting this circuit? If it's not 15 then you have a bigger issue you need to address.
"One is the wire from the original build, 50 years ago."
But you have the breaker sized for the smaller wire, right?
Which would also mean it was a waste to run the bigger wire.
Which also probably means you have a violation by not having a 20A circuit in a bathroom or kitchen. Unless of course this is a different area.
I personally don't like the sound of this whole thing.
Obviously you've found out how to make it work. I think the concern is that if you have 14 gauge wire in the circuit, you should verify that the breaker is only 15A. It isn't a problem you are causing with your fix, but it is a potential problem you uncovered and you should address it. Adding a GFI has made the situation slightly safer than it was, but that is no reason to ignore a possible fire hazard.
In the bigger picture, if you see something like that in a house, it should make you suspicious of all the other electrical work the prior owners did.

Mango in bloom (Broward county)
WARNING! L-O-N-G post :-)
I have a mango tree that was here before I moved in 3 years ago. I guess it's 8-9 years old. My first year here it had a half dozen fruit on it, the next year it had 2 grow to half size then fall off, this past year it bloomed in the spring and the buds fell off. It has never been sick or had bugs attack it, and it grows new branches and has filled in (it's about 10' tall with an 8' wide canopy) nicely.
My last mango was self supporting other than giving it fish carcasses as fertilizer regularly so I'm in the dark as far as real care of them goes.
Anyway... Last fall I started fertilizing it with a mix I got from a fruit nursery and fish emulsion and added to the water that nature and sprinklers provide. I've sprayed as a prophylactic measure with Neem, and Copper also.
This morning (12/19/10) I noticed one branch with LOTS of buds on it when in previous years it didn't bloom until Feb or March.
Now my questions.
Can I keep these blooms on the tree if (when) it gets cold again?
Will the blooms die no matter what?
If they do abort, will it bloom again in the 1Q of next year?
Should I chop it down (shudder) and re-plant with a known species and start from scratch?
I REALLY want this tree to work out, but don't want an ornamental tree there, for that I can get a palm or flowering tree so any help you all can give would be appreciated.
My guess is you will lose these too early buds and get new ones. Mangoes replace ruined buds up to a point.
I would not chop down a tree with such a head start. Get some good advice on making it produce. To hedge your bets you can always plant another mango now or in February or March. This tree is beyond its production years???...unlikely to me
If you get some fruits and post the photo here you will get some educated guesses about what mango variety it is

If Jupiter Ascending were a person, they'd be schizophrenic. The film is a convoluted and disjointed mess that even top-notch visuals can't save. To say the film is a waste of your time would be an understatement. If that ringing endorsement doesn't catch your attention, then continue on dear reader.
To start the convoluted story is a convoluted backstory, following Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a Russian immigrant who despite her model good looks is stuck cleaning toilets and living with her stereotypical Russian family. Her father was an Englishman (hence the surname Jones) who was shot and killed shortly after Jones was conceived. Presumably this wasn't a ringing endorsement of why raising a child in Russia is a fantastic idea, so her family immigrated to the United States.
I've seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you, war is Hell!
– William Tecumseh Sherman
If there is one singular purpose in Fury, it is to convince you of the notion that war is hell. Most people didn't need convincing of this fact before seeing the film, but they'll likely leave the theater echoing the sentiment in their heads. Fury brutally beats you over the head with the atrocities of war in its quest to show you the hardship faced by many combat troops in World War II.
The film revolves around the lives of a seasoned Sherman tank crew led by Don 'Wardaddy' Collier (Brad Pitt). The crew has successfully made it through Africa, D-Day, and are continuing to cause havoc as the Allied forces invade Germany. Despite their stellar record, they lose one of their members shortly before the film begins. Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), a fresh trained clerical typist, is thrust into the front lines of war as he replaces the deceased member of 'Fury'. Over the next two hours we follow Norman as he struggles through the worst parts of war, as he struggles with the inevitable doom facing him on the front lines.
Original concepts are few and far between these days. It isn't that they don't exist, it's that they aren't marketed like remakes, reboots, and adaptations. It doesn't mean there aren't people still pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, and finding new ways to tell compelling stories for the sake of art. It's just that the public rarely sees the films that push these boundaries. Are audiences blind to new compelling media? Yes and no. Your average person watches film to escape from their everyday life, and usually want something familiar. Boyhood is a bit of a conundrum, it has the familiarity of life, but the sincerity and the lack of a defined plot will keep it from becoming a financial success. People will likely feel the film too closely captures real life, even though that is exactly the point.
In 2002, Richard Linklater set out to make a movie about growing up, which on the surface may not seem like an incredible undertaking, but make no mistake, it is an incredible feat in filmmaking. Rather than rely on special effects and multiple actors to tell the story of a boy in a short period of time, Linklater had the idea to film segments of the film over a twelve year period using the same cast. It's an incredible commitment that pays off in the film, as we see a young boy named Mason (Ellar Coltrane) and his family evolve throughout the years. There isn't one definable plot thread throughout the film, and instead we focus on a number of important pieces of Mason's life. We see him struggle through school, deal with an alcoholic step-father, find his passion, lose his first love, and many other moments. The film never creates shocking moments that are meant to be plot devices to move the story along. Are there shocking moments? Sure, but they aren't defining moments of the film. The defining moments are the small moments where you see just how much the boy you've been watching has changed.
Most industry insiders were a bit baffled a few years ago when Marvel announced they were putting Guardians of the Galaxy into production. Even with Marvel not owning the rights to many of its top franchises, surely weren't there better choices to help expand the Marvel cinematic universe? Even more baffling was the choice of hiring James Gunn to write and direct the film. Gunn wasn't known as a big budget director; in fact Gunn got his start in B-movie heaven, Troma Entertainment. Many people, myself included, thought Marvel was heading for disaster. After a second viewing of Guardians tonight, I can say without reservation that my pessimistic thinking was as far off the mark as one could imagine. Marvel has hit a home run that should result in one of the biggest releases of the year.
Guardians of the Galaxy follows Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a self-described outlaw by the name of 'Starlord' as he attempts to navigate a wide galaxy. The film opens with Peter being abducted shortly after his mother's death, with only the clothes on his back, and his trusty Walkman at his side. The film catapults 26 years into the future where Peter is now calling himself 'Starlord', and is a skilled thief in search of a mysterious orb. Unfortunately for Peter, this is no ordinary orb and is being sought out by Thanos (Josh Brolin) and Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), two of the most feared aliens in the galaxy. Thanos quickly dispatches his cybernetically enhanced daughter Gamora (Zoe Saldana) to recover the orb. Getting in her way are bounty hunters Rocket (Bradley Cooper), a foul-mouthed racoon, and his muscle Groot (Vin Diesel), a giant tree with a limited vocabulary. Rocket, Groot, Peter, and Gamora have a beautiful fight for different motives that lands them in a high security prison. It's only at the prison that our merry band begins to bond after figuring out the orb Peter has stolen is much more valuable than any of them could have imagined, and they must do anything to keep it out of the hands of Thanos and Ronan. Upon their eventual escape, picking up a beefy over-literal alien, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), the newly formed Guardians of the Galaxy must race against powerful foes, and deal with more power than any of them could have ever imagined.
Sex Tape is yet another film that is destined to be panned by critics, but reasonably enjoyed by audiences. Most moviegoers will head to their local cinema, enjoy a popcorn, and have a few laughs and wonder why critics hated this movie so much. At the time this review is being written, the film sits at a score of 16% on the movie review aggregator RottenTomatoes.com. Many will find this score low for a movie that entertained them for a bit of their free time. Sure, a few will share the derision of the critics, but most people will be able to find enough to enjoy. There are a number of laughs, a couple outlandishly funny characters, and enough racy humor for most adult moviegoers. So, why do critics hate it so much?
Let's start at the beginning. Sex Tape follows Annie (Cameron Diaz) and Jay (Jason Segel), a couple fast approaching middle age, who like many people with children, find their sex life almost non-existent. This is in stark contrast to the early portions of their relationship where sex was a driving force in their love for each other. Annie's thoughtful narration takes us through this early portion of their relationship, where she describes every scary detail of their sex life, including items like Jay's constant erections. Their current situation of parenthood has robbed them of the time and energy, and most importantly the sex life they thought they would always have. This situation leads to an inspiration by Annie. A night away from the kids to rekindle the romance. Despite many false starts, the couple finally spices up their life by creating a sex tape using their iPad. Unfortunately for them, the video is uploaded to the cloud, and to numerous devices they've given people over the years. The couple must quickly track down all their devices, and erase the video before their closest family and friends see their special moment.

Publisher's Description
For fathers who long to make a positive, lasting difference in their sons lives, passing down a legacy of values and ideals that will help them mature into meninto true men, leaders, voices of strength and wisdom for the next generation and beyondthe challenge has become more daunting than ever. I Call Shotgun is a practical playbook designed to equip dads for this vital task, increasing our influence and deepening our father-son relationships.
Written as letters from the authors to their own sons, the books sixty-four bite-size chapters cover a wide range of territory, from courage and compassion to finance and faith, from peer pressure and purity to hard work and humility. The life lessons within these pages teach sons how to cultivate integrity, follow True North, avoid victimitis, hang with the wise, laugh at political correctness, train for adversity, seek God first, make no excuses, build productive habits, and much more.
Shooting from the heart, Tommy Newberry and Curt Beaversmen of faith, influencers, entrepreneurs, and battle-tested dads themselvesoffer an engaging, highly personal collection of potent insights, a just-in-time antidote to the empty counterfeits that todays culture tries to pass off as wisdom. At the end of each chapter, simple yet carefully crafted questions invite deeper conversations between dads and sons.
Relevant to any man, but especially tailored for fathers and their teen or pre-teen sons, I Call Shotgun will help you to instill character in the boys who are growing into men right before your eyesand it might just sharpen your own character in the process.

Why does the worst part of winter hit at the same time most Americans start preparing their taxes? Must be misery is better when it comes all at once. The average 50-plus household makes about $50,000, so with no deductions that household will owe $6,100, or about 13 percent. In the United States, every paycheck until April 21, 2014, went to paying taxes. This day actually has a name: Tax Freedom Day, i.e., when the nation as a whole has …

The average person lives to be 78 today, which is three decades longer than a century ago. Scientists say they will soon be able to extend life well beyond 120. Many billionaires, particularly from Silicon Valley, are spending millions annually to disrupt death. Even Google set up Calico (California Life Co.) in September 2013 to reverse-engineer the biology that controls lifespan and "devise interventions that enable people to lead longer and healthier lives." The longer we live, the higher the …

Readers see the viewpoints of Accad and his pursuers as each character separately pieces together the truth behind the crimes. Along the way, Accad, knowing he must be careful of whom he can trust, finds new relationships filled with the unexpected feeling of love. However, he also realizes how painful this love can be. In a stunning scene, Marwans childhood friend, Kadeem, is wretchedly and unexpectedly murdered for aiding Marwan in his hiding. Through this Marwan must come to grips with the principle of John 15:13 which states, Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
As Marwan Accad tiptoes throughout the world, he must find a way to prove his innocence while solving the original crime. In the process of all the deceit and violence, Accad must evaluate his own character and what will happen to him when he will be judged for his actions, both by man and by God.
Accad is not only battling others, he is continually battling himself. In the first few chapters we see him as a hard-hearted, self-righteous, intelligent, but relational private security agent. However, throughout his journey he wrestles with new feelings, fresh relationships, and trusting things unseen. By softening his stiffened heart a little at a time and letting others explore it with him, Accad learns what it means to love and be loved again. His life is radically changed in the process.
Although I was shocked by the opening violence, I found The Witness to be a thrilling and stimulating novel. The fast-paced action of the book kept me interested while still being able to slowly process the struggles of the main character. At the end, the book had me wanting more of the story. I would recommend this book to a reader who likes action and isnt afraid of the graphic violence portrayed. Becky Jacobs, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

If you fell in love with the S Voice app that Samsung has delivered with the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2, you may want to get the upgraded version that will rollout with the Galaxy S4.
Good news is, Note 2 and S3 owners can actually install the S Voice S4 version to their handsets, courtesy of a leaked APK installation file from SamMobile. The more than 25MB file is obtainable by heading out to this link: http://hotfile.com/dl/199986593/6b163c0/S-Voice_Android_phone_J.apk.html.
Before proceeding, take note that the System Dump works wonders with stock Samsung TouchWiz skins only so expect to encounter issues with S3s and Note 2s that running on custom ROMs.
For those who wonder what is lovely about the S Voice, it is simply Samsung's take on Siri by Apple and Google Now on Android. Yes, you are getting you're a trusty personal assistant with the app installed on your device.
"S-Voice uses a natural language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of Web services. It is based on the Vlingo personal assistant," SamMobile said in characterising the basic functions of S Voice.
One helpful feature of the Samsung app is its car mode known as S Voice Drive, which according to Gotta Be Mobile is very useful for the hardcore road warriors.
"In our short time with the new version it appears to speak more information and deliver more information at once, specifically when asking it what the weather is," GBM said on its report.
Another bonus is the APK can be installed on Nexus 4 and it is behaving as expected, the same GBM report said.
Since the S Voice APK is not an official Google Play release, you need to download it from the link provided above and proceed on manual installation. Don't forget to check the 'Unknown sources' option for the install to proceed.
Simply follow this route: Settings>Security>Unknown sources, then you can go ahead as if getting the app from Google Play.

The only thing that would have made them better was to have the option of having a photo in the back. But, still by far, my favorite card I've ever ordered. It also came earlier than expected, a bonus."

I'll admit I have not read this, and most probably won't. I just think it's funny to see that NYPL has chosen "Media Matters" as an unbiased source for a review of such an obviously polarizing author. Even a self described liberal writing for the Guardian wrote a review that was more fair and honest in describing her enjoyment of the book for what it is.
It started very slowly but soon picked up pace into a taut thriller. Very good read- faction some facts notated mixed with a fictional story.

Like her famous namesake, Laura was born, raised and still resides in historic Providence, Rhode Island. This Lovecraft's writing however, brings thrills of a completely different kind! As her photo states, erotica's bad girl is not for the faint of heart. Although she has penned some sexy fun in the categories of group sex and general erotica, Laura has made her bones in the realms of hardcore BDSM and truly Taboo tales. Currently Laura is best known for two dark and sexy series. Laura's original masterpiece is the infamous (and banned on several sites) BDSM/Incest crossover Broken. This unique series has set the standard for not only taboo sex, but dark romance as well. The current series is Tales of the Circle featuring a group of wealthy, powerful and sexually dominant men and women who rule the boardroom as well as the bedroom. The Circle has moments of both sweet romance as well as some of the roughest sex scenes this side of safe, sane and consensual. Her latest edition to the Circle Mythos Dark Genesis also contains aspects of erotic horror. These works and many more can be found on Smashwords!
Review by:
on Nov. 13, 2014 :
One of the best, if not THE best stories I have ever read. This is an emotionally charged roller coaster down the dark path of abuse and the people who get caught in its wake.
The characters are so vivid and realistic that they bring this story to life. You won't find cardboard cut-outs here, only characters with layers of personality who's expertly written dialog makes you either love or hate them.
The sex, and there is a lot of it, pushes the story and characters forward rather than be the destination they long for. There is as much tenderness as there is wickedness, making the reader never quite sure which way the story will go next.
The lesbian romance over the coarse of the story is expertly done. They love, they fight, they make up, just like any real romance. The author makes you sympathize with them and their struggles with their inner demons.
This is a tale not meant for the faint hearted. BDSM, abuse, and witchcraft are but the tip of the iceberg. Once you take the plunge into the world of Dark Genesis, it will keep going down that downward spiral and you won't want it to end.
5 stars doesn't do this story justice!

By far the darkest addition to the Circle series, this is a world of abuse, and the people who survive it, making the most of their worlds once they are shattered.
I loved discovering the world of Abigail and Nicole after coming briefly across them in Broken: Book 8.
There were moments where I cringed, the writing was so realistic and brought the tragedy of their pasts to life. Other times I was so on edge waiting to see what was going to happen next I couldn't read fast enough to get to the next part.
The ending was by far my favourite as we got to see the softer side of Abigail come out as she reconnects with her roots.
Highly worth the read - I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could
All in all, this was a great read,

Once again, L.L. Craft delivers characters that seem so real, the reader will wonder how they're doing long after finishing the book, forgetting that they are fictional. Craft's characters are multi-dimensional, layering strength over vulnerability and fierce independence over the need to love and be loved.
The superb dialogue in this book is so realistic, it often seems that the characters have stepped off the page, and the scene is playing out before the eyes of the reader.
The compelling plot of Dark Genesis brings the reader into a dark world, filled with survivors of abuse, makers of false promises, witchcraft, the supernatural, and brutal BDSM, but lifts the reader and the characters out of the darkness with a tender lesbian romance and promise for a brighter future.
The plot, dialogue, and characterization are all as good as the steamy sex scenes, which Craft writes with authority. One can imagine that Craft has experienced first-hand much of what is described in delicious detail. The excellent storytelling allows the reader to look into this dark lifestyle from the safety and comfort of a reading nook.

My son wants to be an architect. He is 15 years old and I home school him. Today was his second lesson in geometry, which he was whining about because it is "boring and stupid." The lesson was about Venn diagrams. Thank you for an interesting and hilarious example that made geometry a little less intimidating and more interesting today!!!
