There Is Now A Sequel To "Flappy Bird" And It Is Even More Impossible
Swing Copters will make you hate helicopters, hammers, and life.
2. Well, now its creator, Doug Nguyen, who unexpectedly removed Flappy Bird from the App Store in February, has released a new game called Swing Copters.
3. Swing Copters feels rather similar to Flappy Bird. You have to tap the screen vigorously to lift this little helicopter thing into the sky.
Every time you tap on the screen the helicopter changes direction. You have to tap at the right time to avoid bashing yourself into large swinging hammers above you.
7. After five minutes of playing you will be like this.
Patrick Smith / vine.co
8. And then… "OMG I PASSED THE FIRST ONE….. Oh."
It feels even harder than Flappy Bird. After 30 minutes of playing, I found it impossible to surpass the great score of 2.
9. You can download Swing Copters on the App Store and on Google Play.

SHREK: The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairytale, and all irreverent family fun! Based on the Oscar®winning DreamWorks film, SHREK brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.

The visa of Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has expired and the government will extend it to enable the investigation into the alleged recovery of $1.24 lakh from him and other members of his troupe at the IGI airport in New Delhi.
"His visa has expired. His visa will be extended and we hope that post February 17 there could be adjudication proceedings and we hope that the matter would be resolved," Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai told reporters on the sidelines of a book release function on Tuesday.
Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) was, meanwhile, probing the source of foreign exchange worth Rs. 60 lakh recovered from Mr. Rahat and two others — Maroof (manager of the singer) and Chitresh Shrivastava (owner of an event management company). They were released last night they remained in detention for nearly 24 hours.
The singer has been asked to appear before DRI on February 17.
Mr. Rahat (37) along with Mr. Maaroof and Mr. Shrivastava were detained on Sunday from Indira Gandhi International Airport while they were on their way to Lahore via Dubai after the alleged undeclared money was recovered from them.
The officials subjected the singer to the questioning while searches were conducted simultaneously on the premises of "Eyeline Telefilm and Events" in Mumbai, owned by Mr. Chitresh Shrivastava, elder brother of Bollywood singer Aadesh Shrivastava.
Mr. Chitresh Shrivastava will have to explain Rs. 51 lakh unaccounted cash also that was recovered from his office in Mumbai on Monday.
As per norms, no one can carry beyond $5,000 in cash and $5,000 in other instruments. The person has to declare the amount if he is carrying more than this to the Customs Department.
Mr. Rahat and his entire troupe, numbering around 16, were detained by the authorities while they were on their way to Lahore from Dubai by an Emirates flight.
Nephew of noted Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mr. Rahat is rated as one of the top playback singers of Bollywood and has several hit numbers to his credit. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer this year for Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji from the movie Ishqiya.

"I've heard thousands of bands, and I've never heard a musical blend quite like this. It sounds great."
"Moonlight Social has managed to create a sound that is as exciting as it is original — no easy feat for ANY artist, let alone an act so new to the recording business! I also admire and am drawn to their commitment to excellence and stretching for that next rung on the artistic ladder; a quality rarely found in this era of "famous-first, game-show celebrity, ball-cap is the new hat act" pabulum currently inundating we Country fans. "
"Within the first 15 seconds you want to hear more... [Moonlight Social is] a diamond hidden in a ton of coal."
"Burchard's alt-rock licks and Scott's country roots meld together effortlessly. As do their voices: the boy-girl harmonies throughout the record are a joy to listen to. Jennica Scott can carry a song through sonic ups and downs — think a rich, syrupy tonality with the belt-your-heart-out chops of Martina McBride or LeAnn Rimes…and the magic happens when you hear what Jeremy Burchard brings to the mix. Whether you're a little bit country or a little bit rock 'n' roll, you owe this album an ear or two."
"Great songwriting. The unique blend of styles and voices on the debut album Heading South sounds great!"
"The trade-off of the vocals is enchanting and the wordplay is fantastic…a VERY solid album, both musically and lyrically. In a very short period they have garnered the attention of some folks in pretty high places."
"I now know why you are so excited about Moonlight Social. They are destined for greatness."
"Moonlight Social is the real deal. The writing, musicianship and vocals are all outstanding. These songs are as strong as anything on the radio. This is clearly an artist worth your time and attention."
"Pretty damned close to perfect...get out ahead of the wave that's sure to envelope this band."
"Another great performance...there is definitely a chemistry onstage with [the lead singer] Jennica Scott and [the guitarist/ male lead vocals] Jeremy Burchard that makes it fun to watch. The band as a whole really seems to be having a good time."
"a great moment of songwriting"
"The arrangement is beautifully conceived, the vocal sounds incredibly expressive, and the song's melody sticks in one's head after just one listen. In fact, I was singing along by the second chorus...pretty difficult not to be impressed by this little beauty."
"These songs will surround you with sounds filled with feeling and warmth...5 stars (out of 5)."
"Mixed with care, the tracks combine light and intense music professionalism. From the first notes on "Neither Are You," we know instantly we're in for a treat...songs like these should be considered calling cards for their limitless capabilities."
"An insatiable amount of talent and great charisma is very much the dynamic of Jeremy Burchard and Jennica Scott, who form the band Moonlight Social...we could learn a lot about how perseverance and dedication has taken this band to a plethora of opportunities."
"Jennica Scott hits every possible note — musical, emotional, and otherwise — with resplendent ease, but it never seems like she's showing off her talents just because they're there to display. There are hooks, harmonies, and heart aplenty...as Scott and Burchard know how to write a superb song that can resonate. [Moonlight Social] certainly has the talent and ability to push into bigger markets with ease."
"Moonlight Social have the makings of a country/crossover hit act. The harmonies are spot on, and the songs are full of strong dynamics blended with sensible hooks and melodies. Truly a diamond in the rough considering today's alt-country scene — this is a duo that has a very bright future."

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, previously called Princess Margaret Hospital, is a scientific research centre and a teaching hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine as part of the University Health Network. The hospital now stands as the largest cancer centre in Canada [1] and one of the 5 largest cancer centres in the world.[2] Along with the Odette Cancer Centre (2nd largest in Canada, 6th largest in the world), which is also associated with University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, it forms one of the largest cluster of cancer hospitals in the world.
The hospital is situated near the intersection of University Avenue and College Street within the Discovery District of downtown Toronto, an area with high concentration of biomedical research institutions. Named for Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, the hospital is under the royal patronage of Anne, Princess Royal.
The hospital specializes in the treatment of cancer, and offers the majority of its services to residents of the Greater Toronto Area. It frequently hosts patients from other parts of Canada for access to a high calibre of treatment.[citation needed]. In particular, the hospital offers expertise in the fields of surgical oncology, medical oncology, hematology including bone marrow transplantation, radiation oncology, psychosocial oncology, medical imaging, and radiation therapy.
The hospital houses one of the largest radiation therapy departments in the world. It has 17 radiation treatment machines, all of which are equipped with the latest technologies including IMRT and VMAT, a superficial orthovoltage machine, and operates a Gamma Knife (Perfexion) stereotactic radiosurgery machine in collaboration with Toronto Western Hospital.
As a teaching hospital of the University of Toronto, the hospital provides world class training to various medical professions. Most notable are clinical programs for medical doctors and radiation therapists.
Its related research arm, the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI), has made world-renowned contributions[citation needed], and works in conjunction with the hospital in a mutually beneficial relationship. Many researchers at the OCI hold appointments at the University of Toronto, often within the Department of Medical Biophysics. The Princess Margaret's research program ranked fourth in terms of the percentage of publications cited in high-impact oncology journals.[2]
The hospital was founded as the Ontario Cancer Institute in 1952 by an Act of the Ontario legislature. Designed by the architect Henry Sproatt, it was originally located at 500 Sherbourne Street, beside the now demolished Wellesley Hospital, on Sherbourne Street north of Wellesley Avenue. The hospital at 500 Sherbourne was completed in 1958 and named the Princess Margaret Hospital after the Queen of Canada's sister, Princess Margaret. In 1995, the hospital relocated to 610 University Avenue (the short building once was head office for Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario).
During health restructuring legislated by the Harris Government in the late 1990s, then-named Princess Margaret Hospital merged with The Toronto Hospital which was the entity formed by the merger of the Toronto General Hospital and the Toronto Western Hospital. The new entity was named University Health Network and the three hospital sites retain their original names within the new entity. Like many hospitals, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is served by a charitable foundation, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, which holds numerous events and a lottery to raise philanthropic funds to support research, education, and patient care.
In October 2012, the Princess Margaret Hospital changed its name to Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.[3]
The Run or Walk to Conquer Cancer Event[edit]
The 2nd Annual Journey to Conquer Cancer-Run or Walk was held on June 22, 2014 and offered 5 km, 3 km and 1 km options routed by The Princess Margaret. This event offered teams and individuals the opportunity to raise funds in support of any area of cancer research, clinic, lab or patient care programs at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

A look at Gregory Campbell
|09.25.10 at 2:39 pm ET
Gregory Campbell spoke to WEEI.com for a few minutes on Friday about what he brings to the Bruins and how he too is looking forward to a new start. The former Panthers forward is described by Nathan Horton as being a do-it-all guy, and Campbell takes pride in his safe style of play as a fourth-liner who does all the little things.
"For me, the first thing is that I have to be a responsible player," he said. "All the so-called intangibles in the game is something I have to take pride in doing. The face-offs, the penalty kill, things like that. I feel like once that's taken care of, the offensive opportunities come."

'New Moon' wolfs down $140.7M in opening weekend
LOS ANGELES "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" gobbled up $140.7 million the first three days the vampire romance was in theaters, while gaining $258.8 million worldwide, according to studio estimates.
"New Moon" placed third on the all-time domestic chart behind last year's $158.4 million opening weekend for the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight" and 2007's $151.1 million haul for "Spider-Man 3."
Among the top-10 all-time openings, "New Moon" is the only one that came outside of Hollywood's busiest time, the summer season. The movie adaptation of Meyer's next "Twilight" chapter, "Eclipse," arrives in the heart of summer, next June 30.
The No. 1 domestic debut for Summit Entertainment's "New Moon" was more than twice the $69.6 million haul over the same weekend last year for "Twilight," the first in the franchise based on Stephenie Meyer's novels.
"Obviously, with the success of 'Twilight' itself, sequels being what they are will generate X-number of dollars more, particularly if it's a satisfying sequel," said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit.
On Friday, "New Moon" set an all-time domestic high for opening day with $72.7 million, topping the previous record of $67.2 million by last year's "The Dark Knight.
Overall, Hollywood had its second-biggest non-holiday weekend ever, with final numbers expected to come in slightly behind the $260 million the industry rang up over the weekend of July 18, 2008, when "The Dark Knight" opened.
Compared to the same weekend last year, business was up 59 percent.
"New Moon" continues the story of teen romance between a school girl and a vampire (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson), with the sequel adding a love triangle with a werewolf (Taylor Lautner).
Opening at No. 2 domestically this weekend was the Warner Bros. football drama "The Blind Side" with $34.5 million. The film stars Sandra Bullock in the real-life story of Baltimore Ravens tackle Michael Oher, who was a homeless teen taken in by a wealthy family and enrolled in private school.
The previous weekend's top movie, Sony's disaster tale "2012," slipped to third-place with $26.5 million, raising its domestic total to $108.2 million. Worldwide, "2012" has taken in $449.8 million.
In limited release, Penelope Cruz and director Pedro Almodovar's latest collaboration, "Broken Embraces," opened big with $107,597 in two theaters for a $53,799 average. The Sony Pictures Classics romantic drama centers on a blind screenwriter relating the story of a lost love.
Nicolas Cage and director Werner Herzog's dark crime thriller "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" opened with $257,267 in 27 theaters, averaging $9,528 a cinema. Released by First Look Studios, "Bad Lieutenant" is the story of a drug-crazed cop on a manic murder investigation.
The huge spike in business this weekend sets the stage for big crowds over Thanksgiving, one of the busiest periods of the year at theaters.
Along with "New Moon" and other holdover movies such as Jim Carrey's holiday-themed "A Christmas Carol," new releases for Thanksgiving include the Robin Williams-John Travolta comedy "Old Dogs" and the post-apocalypse drama "The Road."

Technology puts a smile on photo framers' faces
The digital camera has obviated the necessity of photo developers. User-friendly online digital albums play the role of designers. Technology has enabled the layman to do away with experts in the photo-processing industry. Photo framers are probably an exception. A visit to Devaraj Mudali Street — a hub for this trade for decades — shows these craftsmen are thriving.
"Advances in photo technology have actually helped widen our business. Digital cameras enable anyone to take pictures — more the photographers, greater the demand for photo framers. Digital albums may be getting popular, but they are no threat to us. The charm of a framed photo on a wall is irreplaceable," says M. Kumar of Bhavani Enterprises.
The trade has changed with the times. It's no longer a hammer and nail job. Photo framers invest in technology. Pneumatic nail-guns, frame-cutting and underpinning machines contribute to better finish. With wood giving way to synthetic fibre, even the look and the feel of the frames have changed.
"In the past, when wooden frames were the norm, photo framing was a carpenter's job. Following the switch to fibre frames and the introduction of sophisticated tools, photo-framing has become easier and more attractive. Back then, frames were closed and replacing a framed photo with another required a return visit to the framer. Now, the end-user can himself change photos by removing the tape and opening the pins. After installing the new photo, he can fix the frame himself," says Kamesh of Sri Balaji and Co.
The frames also come in panoply of designs and textures. Even within the four frames, these tradesmen strive to offer a fresh look. Through skillul use of mount boards, they create different types of borders to highlight the photos.
Says Kumar, "In the past, our trade was restricted to framing pictures of deities and photos of people. Not anymore. The dimensions of the trade have become considerably bigger and its appeal has likewise grown." Eye-catching frames, new display techniques, better finish and easy replacement of pictures have opened up new frontiers for these photo-framers, including a demand for framed Nature pictures and works of art.

The Christmas Tree Guide
A primer on six main types of trees grown at the Jones Family Farms in Shelton, Connecticut.
Fraser Fir
This tree has become a Christmas favorite in recent years, thanks to the pretty contrast between the silver on the underside of the needles and the dark green on top. No worries about being pricked―the 3/4 inch-long needles are flat, have blunt ends, and are soft to the touch. The Fraser fir is said to have the best needle retention of all the trees, but farmers say needle retention is based more on how well you care for the tree.

Far better than chrome, but not as good as FF. It's my good secondary browser.

One of the last few browsers for intelligent people, refuses the way what Google wants other browsers to go - instead it stays feature rich, customizable!
No Google, forcing other browsers to become a Chrome clone to gain the users is not working 100%!
This is one of the last few browser to go towards!
Reviewing 126.96.36.199 (Aug 8, 2014)
google chrome IS faster!!!
this really messed up my google chrome they install a service to stop google chrome from being default.
I would call this adware.. also what do they have against HTML 5? it is better than flash... what a POS.
Reviewing 220.127.116.11 (Aug 6, 2014)
I've just "installed" the portable edition on my PC running Windows 8.1, and I must say this one looks a lot like Maxthon... for Mac! It's got the exact same set of functionalities, particularly the ability to open your bookmarks in a new foreground tab, which I like a lot.
Since it's based on Webkit, it's pretty fast to display webpages, and though I haven't explored the whole yard yet, it looks pretty good.
I too set it as my default browser, that's how much I like it... But I can be a little flaky when it comes to browsers, so time will tell.

California ChristmasJana Nyberg
Winter Song
Winter Song (Self Produced) by Jana Nyberg
Musically fresh as a new snow footprint, crisp as a snowflake. Lose the Bing-a-likes this Christmas. Cool Jananas! Happy People.
This is the first track from my new album, Winter Song! I was on American Idol in Season 10 and "Made it to Hollywood." The whole experience was a little surreal, seeing lights on palm trees during the Holiday season, so I just had to write some music about it. My husband, Adam Meckler and I co-wrote this one.

H. L. Mencken
H. L. Mencken: (Henry Louis Mencken) (mĕng´kən, mĕn´–), 1880–1956, American editor, author, and critic, b. Baltimore, studied at the Baltimore Polytechnic. Probably America's most influential journalist, he began his career on the Baltimore Morning Herald at the age of 18, became editor of the Baltimore Evening Herald, and from 1906 until his death was on the staff of the Baltimore Sun or Evening Sun. He also played a key role in the production of two extremely influential national magazines. From 1914 to 1923 he was coeditor of the Smart Set with George Jean Nathan; together they founded the American Mercury in 1924, and Mencken was its sole editor from 1925 to 1933.
Mencken's pungent, iconoclastic criticism and scathing invective, although aimed at all smugly complacent attitudes, was chiefly directed at what he saw as the ignorant, self-righteous, and overly credulous American middle class, members of which he dubbed Boobus americanus. His essays were collected in a series of six volumes, Prejudices (1919–27; repr. in 2 vol., 2010). In the field of philology he compiled a monumental and lively study, The American Language (1st ed. 1919; 4th ed. 1936; with supplements, 1946, 1948). Among his other works are George Bernard Shaw: His Plays (1905), In Defense of Women (1917), Treatise of the Gods (1930), and the autobiographical trilogy Happy Days, 1880–1892 (1940), Newspaper Days, 1899–1906 (1941), and Heathen Days, 1890–1936 (1943), collected in one volume in 1947. Mencken also fought against the strain of Puritanism in American literature and was an important literary champion of such writers as Theodore Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson, Sinclair Lewis, and Eugene O'Neill. His keen interest in and intelligent appraisal of 20th-century American letters are evident in the essays collected in H. L. Mencken on American Literature (2002).
See his letters (ed. by G. L. Forgue, 1961) and diary (ed. by C. A. Fecher, 1990); biographies by W. Manchester (1950), C. Angoff (1956), S. Mayfield (1968), C. Bode (1969), F. C. Hobson, Jr. (1994), and T. Teachout (2002); studies by D. C. Stenerson (1971), F. C. Hobson, Jr. (1974), C. Scruggs (1984), and E. A. Martin (1984); A. Bulsterbaum, H. L.

23 September 2013 08:57 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China will implement new incentives to further encourage exploration and use of coalbed methane (CBM), a type of unconventional gas, the State Council said over the weekend of 21-22 September.
The measures include raising subsidies to CBM producers, cutting tax burdens on the industry, better financial support as well as optimising pricing policies, according to a document from the top government body.
Currently, the central government gives a subsidy of 20 cents yuan (3 US cents) for each cubic metre of CBM produced.
Industry sources said that the subsidy will probably rise to 60 cents yuan per cubic metre.
"Value-added tax on CBM-based power plants, income tax on CBM producers will both be reduced," the document said.
CBM development and utilisation facilities such as pipeline infrastructures will have better access to bank loans.
In addition, the country will raise on-grid prices for CBM-based power plants.
China produced just some 11 billion cubic metres (bcm) of CBM in 2012, according to the document.
China faces big challenges in achieving the production target of 30bcm in 2015, and hence the move to implement such incentives, industry source said.

|Enjoy every surreal moment of Scrubs hilarious eighth season as television's celebrated sitcome delivers "much more loopy, creative humor that fans have come to know and love," raves Chicago Tribune. It's a different world for attending physicians J.D., Turk and Elliot as they have their own interns to confuse and bewilder, and a major shakeup in the hospital staff might be enough to finally unite Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox. Get a big shot of comedy as your favorite characters, and some exciting guest stars (including Courteney Cox), return for a hilarious new year at Sacred Heart. The best way to enjoy the contagious comedy of the complete eighth season is on DVD, featuring exclusive bonus features -- including deleted scenes, bloopers and webisodes. It's just what the doctor ordered.
"...a character-driven show that's exceptionally well-written, and the acting is superb. Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"...the perfect antidote for the increasingly soapy melodrama of ER...ridiculously, sublimely funny. MaryAnn Johanson, The Flick Filosopher
"Scrubs has lost none of its endearing ability to mix earnest sentiment with sardonic gag-centric humor. Matt Roush, TV Guide
"...a drop-dead funny series full of witty and wonderfully strange characters... Scott Weinberg, DVD Talk
""Completely hilarious. Sonia Mansfield, San Francisco Examiner
Editor's NoteYes, it's a sitcom that is set in the overly familiar setting of the bustling hospital and yes, it features a cast of young, good-looking stars and quirky character actors. But, with all of these seeming clichés of network television, SCRUBS manages to have emerged as one of the wittiest, and most original television programs in years. Starring Zach Braff (now known also as the award-winning writer-director-star of GARDEN STATE) as J.D., a talented young intern; the lovely Sarah Chalke (TV's ROSEANNE) as Eliott, his on-again, off-again love interest and fellow intern; and Donald Faison (CLUELESS) as J.D.'s wacky best friend "Turk," the show manages to bring a perfect fusion of irreverent humor and earnest warmth to the hospital sitcom format. In Season Two, the relationship between J.D. and Elliot, now exes, becomes complicated when they are forced to move in together, while "Turk" and his saucy nurse girlfriend Carla, decide to go for it and get engaged. In addition, charismatic guest stars including Heather Locklear (TV'S MELROSE PLACE) as a seductive drug sales rep, Tom Cavanaugh (TV's ED) as J.D.'s deadbeat brother, and Rick Shroeder (TV's NYPD BLUE) as Elliot's new boyfriend, arrive to spice up the action.

"Iraqi man files lawsuit claiming he was tortured at Abu Ghraib."
An Iraqi man filed a federal lawsuit yesterday in Los Angeles against two U.S. military contractors, "claiming he was repeatedly tortured while being held at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison for more than 10 months." Emad al-Janabi claims the contractors "punched him, slammed him into walls, hung him from a bed frame and kept him naked and handcuffed in his cell beginning in September 2003."

Some of the people touring the Shoshone-Bannock Hotel and Event Center on Friday had good things to say about it.
"It's beautiful," said LaLyn Murray, who is bookkeeper at her husband's store, Vern's RadioShack of Blackfoot. "The rooms are outstanding.
"And the suites, who would not want to stay in that for an anniversary or something?
"This is a place you'd refer people to," Murray continued.
She and John and LaVerne Cegielnik of Chubbuck were among those who attended the grand opening celebration on Friday.
Items of note from Aug. 5-13.
Blackfoot Police
GAS THEFT: Aug. 5, 12:38 p.m.: A caller at Maverik reported a vehicle leaving without paying for $40 in fuel.
GRAND THEFT AUTO: Aug. 5, 5:03 p.m.: A man said his motorcycle has been stolen in the last few hours.
RACCOON: Aug. 6, 12 p.m.: A caller requested someone to check on a raccoon that is locked in a car at the dollar store.
CRANE ACCIDENT: Aug. 6, 9:16 a.m.: A caller requested an ambulance for a man who has been "smashed" by a crane that has fallen on him.
Registration dates for the various schools in Bingham County are:
Shelley began classes on Thursday, Aug. 16.
Friday, Aug. 17
Snake River — Open House at Snake River Junior High from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday, Aug. 20
Snake River — First day of school for students
Firth — First day of school for students except kindergartners
Aberdeen — First day of school for students
Blackfoot — Independence Alternative High School registration is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 20-25
BLACKFOOT — Hard work and persistence has paid off for five students who made it through the first ever GED Boot Camp offered by the Idaho State University (ISU) Outreach Center in Blackfoot. A graduation celebration was held in their honor at the center on Thursday afternoon.
The 'Boot Camp' is described as a very intense six-week crash course designed to prepare students in the subjects of language, reading, science, social studies and math for the GED (General Education Diploma) and the Compass college placement tests.
As online education continues to gain in popularity, riding a school bus, juggling a backpack full of books and eating lunch in a school cafeteria are becoming a thing of the past for many students in grades K-12.
According to a recent cyber-school survey, more than 200,000 in grades K-12 are educated online today and the trend seems to be taking hold in East Idaho as well.
Proponents of the online education system say that it works for families by providing flexible schedules while creating student engagement that can't be replicated in the "brick and mortar system."
Bingham County Republicans had a picnic at Jensen Grove in Blackfoot Wednesday evening.
"People who we haven't seen before are here," said Dan Cravens, District 31 Legislative Central Committee Chairman. "We registered some people to vote and we gained some new volunteers."
Charlie Kay, the one-man band, and Jareth Sampson of Bearded Glory provided the entertainment.
People took advantage of a cake walk. The hypnotist show, "Two Bro Hypno Show," also performed.
Dustin Cash Cody, age 20, appeared before Seventh District Judge Darren Simpson Monday afternoon.
Cody was arrested on March 14, 2012, and charged with (count one) domestic violence inflicting traumatic injury and (count two) attempted strangulation.
He served 15 days in jail and was released on his own recognizance.
In his plea agreement, the state agreed to dismiss the attempted strangulation charge for a guilty plea. Other points of the plea agreement included, the state would recommend a withheld judgment and would not oppose probation.
While there have been no confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in East Idaho so far this summer, residents are urged to take precautions after mosquitoes collected in a trap during a routine test by the Fort Hall Reservation's Mosquito Abatement Program tested positive for the virus recently. Randy'L Teton, public affairs manager for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes reported that information on Tuesday.
The virus, which is spread through a mosquito bite, impacted three Idahoans last year, and one woman in Twin Falls County has contacted it so far this year, according to a press release.
It may not be the iconic yellow taxi seen on the streets of New York City, but it is the one and only taxi service in Blackfoot and taxi driver Rob Beebe said his new business, B-B Taxi, is filling a need in the community and that his gray '92 Honda Accord works just fine as a taxi cab.
Beebe, a Blackfoot native who was born in the original Colonial Inn, definitely knows his way around the area and has plenty of experience behind the wheel as he worked as a long-haul truck driver for 35 years and drove for Country Coach for nearly five years.
Appearing before Seventh District Judge Darren Simpson, Jeremy Robert Andrus, age 30, received a continuance because he has a new defense attorney.
Defense attorney John Souza from Pocatello asked for a new trial date so he has time to prepare for it.
In June, Andrus plead not guilty to aggravated assault, attempted second degree kidnapping (the victim was not held for ransom) and attempting to elude a police officer.
Andrus was arrested May 2 after a pursuit and standoff on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, during which he threatened to commit suicide.

One of the lines of Stereo Love sounds more like "You don't wanna see me cry", when it was actually "You won't see me cry".
I already know the song by heart, so I already know what they are saying. I know their accents are thick, but I can translate.
Anyways, another song I listened to was "The Party Starts Now" by Cadence (Club Penguin), and I thought I heard "We don't need no other elves". O.o

Hello to all.
I have created "coming soon page". I would be great if you could comment on it.http://my-demo.zxq.net/
Many thanks Ali
Hi Ali
In general the template looks quite nice. However I would change some little bits:
-) May try the sprite-technique with the social icons in the upper right corner, to avoid the icons to disappear for a second. -) Change the color of the link in the bottom middle widget – this blue is too "default" -) make the bottom area the same width as the top area – now it looks like there is a gap. -) May you integrate a fully working contact form with some ajax validation.
Hope that helps so far. =)
Many thanks I will work on it
The site looks great. I like the site background.
looking nice

By Bethany J. Royer
PIQUA — The world proved to be a tad smaller for Dr. Norman Armstrong and his wife, Georgia, owners of the Arrowston Inn Bed and Breakfast on Park Avenue.
Last November, the couple had been vacationing in Florida when a call came with an unusual request regarding their property back home.
The individual on the other end of the line happened to be Airstream, Inc. Marketing Operations Manager, Karen Kist, who used some networking to locate the vacationing duo — contacting area Realtor Jeanie Bates, of McVety Realty.
Bates, in turn, was able to assist in reaching the couple and, "That's how it all came together," said Georgia, referring to Airstream, Inc. wanting to utilize the Colonial and Georgia Revival architectural home in their new marketing campaign. The company had teamed with Mercedes-Benz for a luxury line of motorcoaches with a special committee that included Kist.
According to Georgia, Kist had once lived on Fountain Boulevard with her husband, Rick, and their children. She had always admired the house on Park Avenue, enough that she took a picture and proceeded to present it to the Airstream marketing committee.
The reaction to the pictures of the home built in 1887 by William K. Boal, president of Favorite Stove and Range Company, resulted in an immediate and unanimous, "Yes, that's the place!" from the committee, says Georgia.
While the world may seem small in terms of a worldwide marketing campaign committee finding their perfect outlet practically in their own backyard — the Airstream, Inc. facility is located in Jackson Center (Shelby County) — the world continued to shrink as the story progressed.
"We were just, yes, that would be great," said Georgia of the couple agreeing to their property being used as part of the backdrop to the new line of motorcoaches, with the ensuing brochure to be distributed to dealerships.
Those dealerships may, in turn, utilize the photos taken of the property as they see fit, including billboard advertising.
"They have dealerships all over the world," continued Georgia, meaning the Arrowston Inn could be featured in China, India, Japan, or Canada.
Though the campaign may be seen throughout the world, the work behind the scenes stayed close to home, as the professional commercial photographer, Andy Snow, is located in Dayton. The company designing the campaign booklets, Graphica LLC, a multimedia and graphic design business, is located in Miamisburg.
However, the story of "a small world" does not end there.
Recently, the Armstrong couple were given a private tour of the Airstream, Inc. facility in Jackson Center, and were the first to witness the new Airstream Interstate series motorcoach from start to finish.
After the tour, Dr. Armstrong, formerly a resident of the Jackson Center area, wanted to show his wife where he had once lived and then they went to visit his older brother, Harry, in Lima.
Explaining to the elder brother about their recent tour of the Airstream facility, Harry remarked that he had designed all the buildings.
Apparently, the elder Armstrong, an architectural engineer — with no contract but a handshake to do the work, by the way — designed all the original Airstream buildings.
"It's like a complete circle," said Georgia with a laugh. A circle that began with "that first phone call from Karen Kist."

HYDERABAD: Manupal Godara scored seven goals to fashion Hampshire Plaza/ Artillery Combine's 9-3-1/2 win over President's Body Guard in the AP Tourism Trophy league match of the Hyderabad Polo Season at the Bison Polo grounds, here on Tuesday.
The winner, which started with a handicap of +4, dominated the game as Manupal was seen all over the ground with his speed and agility to come up with some special efforts. This +4 handicap player struck twice in the first chukker, thrice in the second and twice in the fourth chukker to hog the limelight. J.S. Shekhawat scored in the third and fourth chukkers.
The loser, which mostly comprised amateurs and started with a -1 handicap, faced the difficult task of either winning or even equalising against the rivals. The only consolation was the lone goal by Sameer Choudhary in the second chukker.

Is it just me, or is the value of the arts too often called into question? Rick Scott wants to carve art programs out of schools, and when people find out I got my Master's degree in creative writing, their faces wrench into polite, totally puzzled grimaces. I feel compelled to defend the vitality, and necessity, of these modes of expression: the performance that moves you to tears, the book that sets your child's imagination on fire, the film that makes you see the world in a different way. Maybe Rick Scott doesn't want you to know this, but art can, every once in a while, inspire us to be better human beings. And then a performance such as Synchrony's Giving Voice comes along, and all my claims are justified.
From the vision of Rose Stauffer—a dancer, social worker, and therapist—Giving Voice is a modern dance performance depicting the journey that moves a person beyond trauma and abuse. The eight pieces in this original work traverse the stages from innocence and initiation, to wounding, living a lie, then making a decision to heal and survive. Synchrony, St. Pete's own modern and interpretive dance troupe, was founded by Rose Stauffer, Michelle Fender and Missy Feathers. This original performance, set to the live music of Leslie Kille, will be Jan. 17 and 18 at The Studio@620 and will benefit CASA, an organization designed to help victims of domestic violence.
I got to speak a little more with Rose about her upcoming performance, leaps of faith, and other liberating things to do with one's body. She's lovely, sincere, and passionate about her art.
Giving Voice has a distinct message for social justice. How do you believe the arts can create positive, provocative change in our culture
I have long been fascinated by how the arts can be used for healing. Art is a gateway to other possibilities, and art inspires people to consider something they may never have considered before. So it has powerful potential for social and moral change. The process toward healing changes a person, how they think, behave, what they value, what they hope for, and believe. True healing brings a sense of empowerment.
This show spends more time on how the protagonist finds her way out of being abused, and into a place of safety and self care. I want the show to give hope to people still suffering from their wounds, whether from physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, domestic violence, or bullying, to know there is a way out of that world. I would like this show to give permission, if you will, to allow yourself the conviction it's time to stop letting others abuse you.
Giving Voice seems to be the intersection of dance, movement, and narrative. How did this cross-section of art forms come about?
When I first performed the show as a solo performance, I loved the idea of making it a dance, and not a play, because the non-verbal aspect allows the expression of difficult themes without having to talk about them, and the audience can simply absorb the truths and the messages with their senses. And with their hearts.
Sexual violence in particular is a trauma with such intimate, personal violation, and the experience is unspeakable, in my opinion, because it shatters a person's spirit and physical body. Dance seemed the right vehicle since the body is the medium, to convey this difficult subject matter in a respectful and honest way. I do a lot of acting with my face and body, but I wanted the show to be open for interpretation as well, and dance has a way of expanding those edges because it is a more abstract art form. Each person's trauma and healing journey is different.
After I did the solo show, I knew I was ready to grow the project. Michelle Fender and Missy Feathers both embraced the show as their own, and helped re-stage the eight dances. We are adding a brief narration in between the dances, along with stylized music. I wanted to make sure it unfolded like a short story, with a beginning, middle, and end.
The transformation from trauma to healing is powerful, and seems to speak to you very deeply. How were inspired to create Giving Voice?
The title of the show, Giving Voice, is the muse for me. Traumas against the body, and sexual violence in particular, are ensconced in silence and shame by the victim. At first the silence is imposed on the victim by the abuser, but then carried by the victim throughout life. So unless the person decides not to bear the shame alone, and breaks the silence, it will manifest in dis-ease of every kind. The hardest thing to do is to step out of the darkness of living the lie and asserting one's story to others.
In my personal life and professionally, as a clinical social worker and therapist, I see the only way out of suffering is to take that leap of faith, over the "cliff" if necessary. It's amazing what happens if we do that. I've taken several leaps off the cliff in my lifetime, and it's always led to something incredible. So in a way, creating this show and dancing it in front of an audience, with all its foibles and imperfections, is a metaphor for what it takes to heal.
Congratulations, David! I just finished your wonderful Lily of Peru. Kudos on your historical fiction…
Damn! You leid that flop out!
Couldn't have happened to a more talented fellow! Job well done Jonathan!

I am a 51 year old slalom skier. I like to cut harder than I should and I take plenty of spills. Until I bought these gloves, my outings were limited by forearm fatigue. These gloves solve that problem and make it possible and more enjoyable to ski longer and harder. I have no complaints about getting them on or off. I would definitely purchase again.

More than 40 percent of home Internet users in the United States have downloaded MP3 files onto their home computers, according to a study by Parks Associates, and they are storing an average of 305 music files.
More than 40 percent of home Internet users in the United States have downloaded MP3 files onto their home computers, according to a study by Parks Associates, and they are storing an average of 305 music files.
Not surprisingly, younger consumers in particular are storing a vast amount of music on their home PCs. In a survey of 711 consumers in U.S. households with Internet access, Parks Associates found that 81 percent of respondents ages 18 to 24 have downloaded MP3 files onto home computers, storing on average approximately 350 clips, songs and files. Although a lower percentage of consumers ages 25 to 34 has downloaded MP3 files onto home computers, they are currently storing, on average, twice as many files (more than 700).
"Prior to this study, we assumed that a fair number of home Internet users of all ages were taking advantage of music-swapping services and CD-ripping software," said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research for Parks Associates. "What we didn't realize was the staggering amount of music files stored on home computers. The home computer – at least in certain segments – is quickly evolving into an important hub for entertainment content inside the home."
These findings could be music to the ears of the home networking industry, which is seeking to establish itself beyond simple PC connectivity.
"We have said for some time that entertainment applications that take advantage of the storage and streaming of multimedia content can bring home networking to a large segment of the U.S. population," Scherf said. "From these results, we might infer that networking applications that target the connectivity of home computers to other platforms in the house – such as stereos and televisions – might be of interest to a large segment of the U.S. home Internet population."
The recording industry blamed the dreadful year it had in 2001 on the proliferation of illegal downloads rather than the weak economy. Research sponsored by the Recording Industry Association of America found that free online music was taking away from music sales in general. But research by Ipsos-Reid found that downloaders do not stop buying prerecorded compact discs when they discover downloading. According to the study, 81 percent of downloaders report their CD purchases have stayed the same or even increased since they initially began downloading music from the Internet (see Subscriptions Not Music to Consumers' Ears).
The online subscription serviced backed my major record labels must also find a role in the digital music world. A report by Informa Media found that Internet music subscriptions will bring in $2.4 billion in 2007. But in the near term, subscriptions will not provide a quick fix for the wider malaise of the industry. By the end of 2002, Informa's report found the market will be worth only $71.5 million, a tiny fraction of the total $34 billion record sales.
Subscriptions will start to take off in 2003 or 2004, when many of the user restrictions of the early major-backed services will have been lifted. By the end of 2004, the value of subscriptions will have increased to $473 million.
"The industry hasn't yet settled upon the perfect business model. Certainly the major-backed platforms leave a lot to be desired and don't provide consumers with enough scope or control. But the fact that the majors have joined the party does provide some optimism", said Simon Dyson, co-author of the Informa Media report.
By 2007, North America will account for 46 percent of music subscription revenue, followed by Europe with 33 percent. Recorded music sales in 2007 are forecast at $41 billion worldwide, up from $34.4 billion in 2001, according to the report. Total online sales will increase to $9.7 billion. Of this, Internet CD sales will account for 69 percent, music subscriptions will account for 25 percent and one-time downloads for 6 percent.
