Destroy all static and moving bricks and obstacles to win the level. Touch and move left or right the pulsing circle under the pad to control it. Touch anywhere higher with another finger (use multi-touch) to release a ball, launch a rocket or shoot with plasma gun.
Shining blocks contain bonuses that can seriously change the situation. Green power-ups will help you to cope the task – such as ball splits, rocket launcher, plasma gun, fire ball, acid ball, magnet, shield and so on. Try to avoid red power-downs, that can speed up balls, decrease board size, make balls flight trajectory unpredictable or even explode the board.
- bright, impressive graphics, nice visuals
- 145 spinning and moving levels
- really fast paced gameplay
- 4 difficulty levels

Android 4.4: does not generally work; some devices may work with dummy Wi-Fi trick though.
Android 4.3 down to 4.0.3: web browsing WORKS; dummy Wi-Fi or a similar trick required for other apps.
These notes apply to the TABLET-side app ONLY. Regular EasyTether works on all Android versions.
Install on your tablet and follow the instructions.
EasyTether Tablet provides Internet connection shared from your smartphone using USB or Bluetooth.
USB tethering requires USB host cable (also known as USB OTG cable)!
If you need to tether your smartphone to your computer, see the smartphone-side EasyTether application.
A known issue:
Apps that ask the system if there is an Internet connection do not work.
It happens because the system does not treat VPN connection without underlying Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connection as Internet connection. It does not matter if you use the Lite or the full EasyTether on your phone.
The workaround is to connect to some dummy Wi-Fi network (without Internet access).

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
Police and Safety agencies today (Tuesday) took their distracted driving message to a Franklin County High School.
At Hamilton Township High School, the state's top safety official had a direct message for students in the audience.
"The under-20 age category had the greatest proportion of distracted drivers." says
state Public Safety Director John Born. He adds that during the last two years, teen drivers were involved in 144,000 traffic crashes resulting in 299 fatalities. Students Natalia Welton-Torres and Kaitlynn Yost were surprised by the figures.
"No, I didn't know it was this bad. I was really shocked when I learned that stuff," says Yost.
" I didn't think it had that much of an impact," says Welton-Torres.
Spokeswoman Kelly Browning of the group "Impact Teen Drivers" says reckless and distracted driving killed three busloads of Ohio teens or 131 young people in 2011. Her group offers safety instructions to U-S high schools but she says the most effective safe driving message comes from a parent.
"I always say to parents if you're slugging back the latte talking on your phone and driving with a knee don't be wonder why your kids are going to do that. So its really about them being the number one role model for their teens' driving attitudes and behaviors," says Browning.
The Ohio Highway patrol says Franklin County had the second most accidents involving teen-aged drivers so far this year. The patrol counts more than 85-hundred accidents where teen drivers were at fault.

Frustrated yet smiling
Confused yet thinking
Excited yet crying
After all the mess life had to throw at me, I have decided just not to cry. It's perfectly normal to want to hit the panic button. But I have realized rather understood that its just a phase and has too pass on. No matter how deep the problem is, no matter how strong your negative emotions are, no matter how much of your time you sit and wonder how to get rid or solve the problem, its just where it is, and it will only change over time. We just need to let it be. Only thing you can change is your state of mind..
Your thoughts cause your feelings. Feelings can be good or bad. Assess yourself—if your thoughts are bringing about negative feelings that means you are not on the right track.
Its most important to feel good, to experience the feel good factor in everything you say, everything you do, everything you feel. In case you are feeling negative, you can change it immediately by thinking of something joyful, or remembering a happy experience. As the book "The Secret" rightly quotes—our job is not to worry about the "HOW". The "HOW" will fall into place out of the commitment and faith in the "WHAT".
Define your problem, what's causing that stress? Is it failure in a relationship, loss of a job, loneliness, whatever that is, just first writes that down? This will allow you to think and brainstorm for solutions. At the end, it's your decision if you choose to just hold on to the problem or try your best to solve it and handle your feelings much better.
So go ahead and experience the feel good factor within you and don't let the hope die!!
Frustrated yet smiling

In this regard, the potential use of bromine as a quenching agent to give polymers with brominated end groups is investigated. Using NMR spectroscopy, these groups can be identified as primary or secondary and quantified, thus providing information on the nature of the Zr-polymeryl linkage(s) and their relative concentration(s). Bromine quenching was examined for ethylene polymerization by Cp2ZrMe2/B(C6F5)3, and for propylene polymerization by Cp2ZrMe2/B(C6F5)3, (indenyl)2ZrMe2/B(C6F5)3, and rac-{C2H4(1-indenyl)2}ZrMe2/B(C6F5)3. Polymers with primary alkyl bromide end groups were obtained. In the case of propylene polymerization by [ONNO]Zr(CH2C6H5)2/MAO/2,6-di-tbutylphenol, both primary and secondary alkyl bromide end groups were detected. Primary alkyl bromide end groups result from the cleavage by bromine of primary Zr-CH2~polymeryl linkages while secondary alkyl bromides are the result of the cleavage by bromine of secondary Zr-CH(Me)CH2~polymeryl linkages. The concentration of Zr-CH2~polymeryl intermediates was found to be low, suggesting that the catalyst deactivates during the polymerization. A second objective of this research is to investigate the formation of Cp2Zr+-allyl complexes as these species are proposed to arise during the polymerization and deactivate the catalyst. Compounds of type [Cp2ZrMe]+ were found to react with vinylidene compounds of type CH2=C(Me)R, (R = CH2CHMe2 and CH2CH(Me)C3H7), to form methane and Cp2Zr+-allyl complexes. The reaction of Cp2ZrMe2/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] with CH2=C(Me)CH2CHMe2 involves the unprecedented [Cp2Zr(Me)(CH2CMeCH2CHMe2)]+ intermediate, detected by low temperature one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The observation of this intermediate represents the first direct experimental evidence for a d0 metal-alkyl-olefin complex. The dynamic behavior and the kinetics of formation of Cp2Zr+-allyl complexes were also investigated by NMR spectroscopy. In situ propylene polymerization studies indicate that Cp2Zr+-allyl polymeryl intermediates form under catalytic conditions when either Cp2ZrMe2/B(C6F5)3 or Cp2ZrMe2/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] are used. Formation of Zr-allyl species occurs in the early stages of the polymerization process, even before the [Cp2ZrMe]+ catalyst is completely consumed, by recoordination of the polypropylene-containing vinylidene end groups, which are the normal products of chain transfer reactions via -H elimination, to the active catalyst.

Microalgae are considered to be the most promising alternative energy resources and have potential to replace non-renewable fossil fuels. However, the economical extraction of lipids from microalgae for the production of biofuel is limited in part by the energy costs related to solvent use, as well as the potentially harmful effects of traditional solvents. This study investigated the use of CO2-expanded methanol and liquid CO2 as greener alternatives to traditional solvents to extract lipids from dried or wet biomass of microalgae. Unlike extractions using conventional solvents, these new methods require little to no volatile, flammable, or chlorinated organic solvents. CO2-expanded methanol (cxMeOH) consists of pressurized gaseous CO2 dissolved in methanol. When compressed CO2 dissolves in methanol, the solvent expands in volume and decreases in polarity, reducing the amount of organic solvent needed and using much lower pressures than those required for supercritical CO2. The decreased polarity of methanol in cxMeOH increased the selectivity of the solvent towards the extraction of biodiesel-desirable neutral lipids (NLs) and free fatty acids (FFAs). The selectivity was up to 82% for those desired lipids when cxMeOH was used, compared to about 50% when a conventional solvent was used. Moreover, the use of cxMeOH reduces the volume of organic solvent needed for the extraction by up to five times. The use of liquid CO2 (lCO2) presents many advantages of sustainability, safety and selectivity over the use of conventional solvents because this technique requires no flammable, highly volatile, or chlorinated solvents. The lCO2 with its low polarity has high affinity for non-polar lipids. The lCO2 was used to extract lipids from dried as well as the wet biomass of microalgae. Using lCO2, it is possible to extract up to 10% neutral lipids relative to the mass of dry algae. Also, the lCO2 extracts were up to 96% biodiesel desirable lipids with high content of oleic acid compared to only about 50% desirable lipids in conventional solvent extracts.

The results demonstrate that these systems can be effective lubricants if the hydrogen bonds (HBs) in the system are of moderate strength, evenly distributed in the system, and restricted to reside within the layers. One system that meets these conditions was found to exhibit friction forces and friction coefficients that are comparable to layered systems consisting of sheets of atoms connected via covalent or ionic bonds, such as graphite and MoS2. The results also show that the flexibility associated with the HBs allows this system to reversibly undergo large structural deformations. This ability allowed this system to undergo a slip mechanism in which the layers buckled, which was found to reduce the slip barrier. The ability to reversibly accommodate structural changes may represent an advantage of systems comprising sheets of covalently or ionically bonded components, which can be damaged irreversibly as a result of large structural deformations.

However, due to the cost and scarcity of precious metals, recent research has focused instead on first row transition metals. Of specific interest to our group are bis-phosphine and carbene complexes of iron, cobalt and nickel. Initial efforts found catalytically active species, which generated decent turn over numbers (TON). It was found that 10 different metals have at least some catalytic activity for this reaction, when combined with 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, including Fe, Co, Ni, In, Zn and Mo. The most active was an iron complex that had a TON of 726, High pressure NMR spectra obtained throughout the course of the reaction provide insight by which FeCl2(dmpe)2 hydrogenates CO2 to formic acid. As part of a search for CO2 hydrogenation catalysts base upon abundant metals efficient catalysts with carbene ligands were also found. The combination of either FeCl2, Ni(OAc)2, CoCl2 and Co(OAc)2 with various carbene or carbene precursors from catalysts in situ capable of hydrogenating CO2 to formic acid with TONs of up to 420.

beautiful small public spaces
There's no 'question' in this post, just sharing some beautiful spaces on a cold winter day....
I was clearing up some things today and came across some of the assignments from the landscape design class I took on-line through the University of Guelph in the fall term (just for fun....) I though maybe some of you might find the pictures interesting. In the assignment and class discussion I used pictures (and details available on-line in one case) for of two local public spaces - one a small park and the other a church garden in the center of town.
The park was redeveloped in 2010 as the original old park no longer suited the demographics and needs of the neighbourhood (no need for a ball park anymore!) and had become neglected. There is now a seniors' recreation center on one side and, on the other side, a former school is a training facility for service dogs for the blind, the deaf, and for people with a wide range of physical disabilities. So accessibility issues were very relevant for the park.
I think the cost of the redesign and construction as around $1.6 million. It's a beautiful space - the gazebo and pergola are particularly striking. It's not a well-known space though - we had no idea it existed until we started volunteering at the dog guide facility a year ago and noticed the park on the other side of the fence around the parking lot. The picture below only captures part of it; the plan drawing in the link will give you a better overall view of it.
The dog guides facility is the flat-roofed building on the left side of the picture. The rock is a bubbling fountain - the water drains away underneath and recirculates so there is no standing pool of water to be a hazard for the users of the park. The paved materials change in color and texture so the path is distinct from the 'patio' area and there is a change that runs between the path and grassed areas and garden beds. I assume that was probably deliberate to provide cues to orient vision-impaired users.... The woody plantings are still fairly immature so the park will continue to change over the next few years as the plantings mature. You can see on the linked plan that different parts of the space are intended to be highlighted in different seasons.
The second space is a small church garden on 'the main drag'. We had admired the arbour along the street for many years but had never bothered to look beyond that until 2010. We were quite surprised to find a beautiful small jewel of a garden tucked between the church and the wall of the store next to it. Some pictures....
Looking in from the street:
Looking up at a window from sitting under the arbour:
Looking towards the street from within the garden:
Knot garden - for scattering ashes!
I was curious about the garden and asked at the church - it was designed and donated by a landscape arctitect in memory of his parents who were members of the congregation.
It's alway a pleasure to discover beautiful spaces like these. I'm itchin' for spring and a return to gardening and garden hunting :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Westwood park plan drawing
By 'red berry tree' do you mean the crabapple? Here's what an article at the Arnold Arboreteum says about that one:
When the topic of fruit size and persistence comes
up, crabapple detractors frequently trot out the poster child for obnoxious fruiting behavior, Malus 'Dolgo' (ignoring the fact that its large crimson fruits are great for making tasty preserves). But it would be disingenuous to paint all crabapples with the same brush. For example, crabapple selections like 'Jewelcole' ('Red Jewel') and 'Donald Wyman'produce bright red, extremely persistent fruit that eventually fall from the tree, but only after they've dried and shriveled to one-half their original size. Others like 'Snowdrift' and 'Bob White' drop very little fruit thanks to the work of opportunistic and grateful birds. And on those sites where fruit production of any kind is forbidden, fruitless selections 'Spring Snow' and newcomer 'Jarmin' ('Marilee') are viable options.
At this point the tree in the park isn't big enough to produce a lot of fruit. The link to the article the quote is from is below in case you're interested in crabapples.....
The vine in the church pictures is a trumpet vine - I suspect it was planted by someone other than the original architect. The arbour is planted with a rather random collection of vines.... Trumpet vine is very vigorous and troublesome by throwing up lots of root suckers and being very hard to get rid of! While the color of that one works well with the color of the brick of the church, it is likely to be a maintenance problem in the future.
Here is a link that might be useful: article on crabapples
Thanks for the article. All the pictures of crabapples are striking! There are many crabapples in my neighborhood but I've never seen that plenty of red berries left in snow. Birds must have been busy. The combination of red berries and white snow is so pretty.
Sad that those trumpet vines are trouble plants. I'm always fascinated by orange-colored flowers but know no names. Must say I know about a handful of plant names..
It is really beautiful but it could have been more beautiful if they added more vine plants on the arc, this could also give more shade during bright days.

Beautiful Small Public Spaces
In my area one place comes to mind, The Old Mill North Little Rock Arkansas. A small park in a residential area, the feature that stands out is the artful use of what appears to be sun bleached wood structures as bridge planks, hand rails, arbors, and centerpiece sculptures. The structures are concrete, not wood. But the craftsmanship was so good you have to touch it to know. It is amazing that it has lasted almost 80 years with little sign of wear.
This may be the most photographed and videoed area in all of Arkansas.
In the link below is a rather large photo of some of the "wood" work.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Pauline - I disagree re more vines on the church arbour structure. I find the arbour, with it's repetition of the gothic church window shape, to be very striking on its own. It's almost a shame to cover it up at all! Certainly in winter the bare arbour is more ornamental than the parts covered with dormant vines.
pls8xx - neat stuff! I did a Google image search to see more of that place - I wanted to see the setting that the structures are in. I like it - except I thought the fountain/water spray in the mill pond to look out of place with the rest of the setting. In the on-line course I took this past fall, there was a person living in Japan. He talked about some park there that used concrete made to look like wood in the park structures - but they obviusly didn't do as good a job, because he didn't like them....
If you look at the photo above, left of the girl's feet there is a "wood" tread with a crack in the end typical of what is seen in wood beams. It is that attention to detail that gives the realism. I wonder how he made that crack and it's amazing that freezing water hasn't broken it out. Maybe he used a secret additive to the concrete. He never tutored anyone to follow his art and it's never been duplicated.
There have been some modern additions to the park that don't fit, the fountain being one. It probably serves to provide oxygen to a school of goldfish.
I had always been led to believe the concrete at the Old Mill was done by a local talent. Not so! The work was done by Senor Dionico Rodriguez and there is a book, part of it online at google books.

Good Night, America, and Good-ByeSubmitted by Bob-45 on Fri, 03/30/2012 - 05:17

It is interesting to note just how well this imperialism thing has worked for the American people. At the end of last year the U.S. was kicked out of Iraq after spending some trillions of dollars and producing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Americans. Al-Qaeda, which was not present in Iraq when the U.S. arrived, has lately been responsible for bomb attacks that have killed hundreds of Iraqis, mostly civilians. As a result of the ham-handed American intervention, Iraq's closest friend now is not the U.S. It is Iran.
Appalled by the excesses of the U.S. military, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has followed suit, initially demanding that the U.S. restrict its soldiers to their bases, a move that would mean that the American presence in Afghanistan could well end in short order after the loss of another trillion dollars and the deaths of some tens of thousands of coalition soldiers and Afghan civilians. Even if Karzai accepts a continued U.S. presence that is more managed by his own "sovereign" government, the writing is on the wall, and all that is needed is a firm departure date. Oh, and the Taliban will definitely be coming back in one form or another.

was Dr. Paul's foreign policy advisor in 2008. His quick sketch bio in Wikipedia is interesting:
He notes that Israel is trying to prise the Kurds away from Iraq and since their alliance with Turkey has suffered somewhat they are certainly more focused on that. My recollection is that this was always part of the Yinon plan.
The entire Middle East and North Africa is changing shape before our eyes as first this power and then another manoeuvres for advantage in a very fluid situation. The original Pike plan was to engender a battle to the death between the Muslim powers and the political Zionists. I believe the recent Arab Spring, Libyan war and the other government changes have been made with this end in view. The Islamist extremists are now moving into power in most of the Middle East and North Africa. This is setting the scene for the final confrontation between Israel and those she perceives as her existential enemies.
"Jesus answered them: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)

Love him to death very good doctor can't wait to see him again...
The clinic answered all my questions and the staff were very professional. The doctor was professional and worked with me. He answered all of my questions and during the delivery Dr Antoinetti was being funny and he was just trying to put me at ease. It wasn't funny then but it took my mind off my pain for a minute. I will go back to him if I get pregnant again and I will recommend him as well.
Sorry to say these clinic does not take time with there patients.The staff is rude only one at the front desk was nice.The waiting time is long. The Dr. as he comes in to the patients room goes out always in a rush. Sorry Gonzalo Venegas your such a great professional Dr. but your team is not.My prenatal care here was not pleasant at all should of noticed sooner.My postpartum check up was not a check up at all.

Hi: 11° Lo:1°
By Matthew Bates Monday 28 January 2013 Updated: 05/02 08:19
AN UPGRADED maternity unit will help make labour more relaxing for mums-to-be at University Hospital in Coventry.
A government health minister visited the Walsgrave site to announce maternity unit upgrades at over 100 hospitals. The Coventry hospital has been handed £746,448 - more than any other hospital in the region.
Dr Dan Poulter revealed a £25 million pot would be shared by the sites, with the hospital - where Rugby mothers give birth - aiming to install new units in a bid to make labour at hospital more like a home birth.
Four new birthing pools have also been earmarked for the hospital to add to the one already installed.
Dr Poulter said: "A new arrival in the family is a joyous time but it can present a real challenge for mums and families, particularly those experiencing it for the first time.
"These will make a big difference to the experience mums and families have of NHS maternity services, with more choice and a better environment where women can give birth.
"Maternity units have had to show evidence that they asked mums and dads about what changes they need to make – so we know these are the changes local people really want to see."
Bids for cash under the fund were judged by a panel including representatives from the Royal College of Midwives.
Chief executive Cathy Warwick added: "It is great to learn about the positive changes that this extra £25 million will make to many units up and down the country."
