How much to sleep every day? This question remains same in every age but the answer changes with your age. Sleep requirements differ in every person.
The question is answered by National Sleep Foundation.
To know the perfect sleeping time for every age group, National Sleep Foundation made a team of 18 members to evaluate scientific literature related to the sleep duration. What they have found was presented to the world.
Sufficient sleep is a basic need of the body. It is necessary to live a healthy life. The guidelines presented here are up to dated. These are not for the people who are suffering from any kind of sleep disorder.
Researchers of this study said that people who sleep outside these normal ranges may have any underlying severe health problem but if they are doing it on purpose, then they must not because they are risking their health.
The current guidelines with every age group are as follow:
For a newborn:
A kid of 0 to 3 months must sleep for 14 to 17 hours. About 11 to 13 and 18 to 19 hours are considered appropriate for them. Less than 11 and more than 19 hours sleeping time falls in the not recommended list of the researchers.
For an Infant:
A child who is 4 to 11 months old, the recommended sleep is 12 to 15 hours a day but a child must not sleep for more than 18 hours or less than 10 hours.
For a toddler:
For the kid of 1 to 2 years old, 11 to 14 hours of sleep can be highly beneficial. Less than 9 hours and more than 16 hours of sleep are not considered healthy, but they can go for 9 to 10 hours sleep or 15 to 16 hours of sleep.
For a preschooler:
Any 3 to 5 years old kid must sleep from 10 to 13 hours in a day. The sleep time can be lessened to 8 to 9 hour but less than 8 hours is not recommended, while up to 14 hours is appropriate but more than that is not.
For a school going children:
A child of 6 to 13 years of age must have the daily sleep of 9 to 11 hours. The lower appropriate limit for them is 7 to 8 hours and upper limit is 12 hours. They must not sleep for less than 7 hours or for more than 12 hours.
For a Teenager
Teenagers, 14-17 years old, must have a sound sleep of 8 to 10 years, but they can limit it to 7 hours or exceed to 11 hours but less than 7 hours and more than 11 hours is not recommended.
For a Young Adult:
For young adults, 18-25 years old, sleeping for 7 to 9 hours is a must. But they can sleep minimum of 6 hours and maximum of 11 hours, less or more than that is not recommended.
For an Adult:
For adults of age 26-64, 7 to 9 hours of sleep is recommended by experts but less than 6 or more than 10 hours sleep is not recommended.
For an Older Adult:
The adults of age 65 and more must sleep for 7 to 8 hours at night, but not less than 5 hours or greater than 9 hours.
What is Sleep Debt?
When you sleep less, you are basically going in debt. The fewer hours you sleep in a day, the total sleep hours lost is known as sleep debt. For instance, if you sleep one hour less every night in a week, then you have a sleep debt of seven hour for a week. Sleep debt decreases your health so you must try to complete the daily recommended sleep.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
"She came to New York City to be a singer in the 1930s, failed, and drank herself to death in the 1940s," Ed recounts drolly as we knock back pale ales and mint juleps. It's the hottest day of the year, and the Brooklyn-based band hides from the heat at a rustic, wood-lined bar. While it was Droste's songs (documenting a time "vaguely in haze and depressed and going through weird shit," he says) that comprised all of Grizzly Bear's 2004 debut Horn of Plenty, the dour, miasmic album (drawing from folk without getting "freaky") was completed with some help from multi-disciplined musician Christopher Bear, and soon augmented live by Chris Taylor and Daniel Rossen.
With Rossen now on board as the second songwriterand tempered by Bear's shuffling toms and Taylor's affected slurs of clarinet, horn, and flutethe 2006 quartet incarnation of Grizzly Bear is a decidedly different and remarkable, uh, beast. Emotionally evocative, gorgeous yet restrained, Horn of Plenty's lonesome lo-fi loops are replaced on Yellow House by a nurturing band sound and broader instrumental palette. Piano, banjo, autoharp, bells, metallophone, strings, and woodwinds swirl about the mix, captured on Taylor's mobile recording unit. While the de facto producer, he decidedly kept the sentimentality of the first album intact, capturing "these heartfelt, intimate things, like 'You caught me with my pants down.' " Droste initially fretted about being set up inside his mother's Victorian home off Cape Cod (yes, it is indeed yellow) during a month-long stint housesitting/recording, but it lent a casual air to the proceedings. The living-room space infuses a radiant warmth to the gauze of vocal harmonies and woodwinds on songs like "Lullabye" and "Colorado," the band sounding casual and assured in letting the songs unfurl naturally.
It helped that the band first crafted a lot of songs at their respective apartments, quietly and alonemindful of neighbors, Rossen notes that "writing at home, you play more acoustic-based music" that still bears traces of that intimacy. Taylor too chalks up Yellow House's comfortable disposition to its environment, where you could "go lay on the couch or go to the refrigerator and grab lemonade," he recalls. "It sounds subtle in the recording process, [but] as far as psychology is concerned, it's very meaningful." He's quick to add that "It was intense to live with everyone, though. Everybody challenged each other; no one went unchecked."
Intensifying matters was the searing July sun bearing down on the house"It was fucking hot as hell," Rossen says. But discomfort and intimacy go hand in hand. Aside from "Marla" (whose portrait hangs in one room), "Little Brother" also resounds with the idea of family, the tyranny of distance, the memories of home. Doors, hallways, swimming pools, and beds crop up in the lyrics, but the band was always mindful to get out of the house, too. Rosen details a daily ritual: "We had cocktail hour religiously every evening out on the back porch. It was sweet, listening to cicadas, looking at the trees as the sun was setting, [holding] a cocktail. That was always something to look forward to."

In Focus Mobile phone users in the city are spending large sums to keep up with the latest technology and they are making informed decisions about which brand to buy, writes Jaideep Deo Bhanj
It is hard to imagine life without a mobile phone. It wakes us up in the morning, we take it to work, to the gym, to the dining table, and we snuggle up with it at night. In fact, there is a term, nomophobia, coined for those who fear being out of mobile phone contact.
With the coming of 3G, better displays and faster processors, phones can browse the net, take high quality photographs, keep us in touch through social media, navigate, make payments, book tickets, and manage schedules. There is an application that can help you with almost any task. Phones have gotten sleeker, smarter and more efficient with new models and versions coming out every few months. Buying an expensive gadget is no longer only about making a statement. The features actually justify the price tag.
Companies are being pushed to innovate as there is cut-throat competition among high-end smartphone manufacturers. Until 2007 RIM, the makers of BlackBerry, dominated the market as it was the first smartphone to receive emails on the move. It became popular with corporates and earned itself a 'business device' tag. It took the vision of Steve Jobs and his team at Apple to reinvent the mobile phone and give to the world a device that was reliable and sleek, had good multimedia capabilities, a touch display, and a great camera, and was completely different from any other phone the world had seen. Thousands of people lined up outside stores to get their hands on the iPhone. It took a consortium of companies headed by Google to develop Android, an open source software that is now giving the Apple operating system a run for its money.
Samsung has emerged as Apple's strongest competitor, in some markets even outselling the iPhone.
New launches are eagerly looked forward to. Tech bloggers speculate months in advance about the changes. Secrecy was an Apple trademark which helped in promoting the phone and creating hype.
The net is usually abuzz with leaked images before every launch. The actual launch is also a flamboyant world event. This week BlackBerry launched its new phone with an upgraded operating system, the Z10 in India, which will compete against the iPhone5 and the Samsung SIII, as well as others like the Nokia Lumia 920, which runs on the Windows 8 platform. With this launch, BlackBerry hopes to win back its share in the smartphone market. It has launched its phone in India ahead of its US launch, which shows the importance of the Indian market.
Vizagites are crazy about their mobile phones as well and a large number of users are choosing smartphones. Shops selling phones have mushroomed across the city and are always full of people. Dabagardens, which at one time boasted a variety of shops, is now the main mobile phone market in the city. Mohan Prasad, the owner of Cell Point, says, "The demand for smartphones is growing in the city and the customer is very aware about the new launches. We get advance bookings mostly from college students who want to keep up to date." He says that buyback offers and EMI schemes make the phones priced at over Rs. 40,000 affordable and people understand that quality comes at a price. "People use their phones for business as well as for entertainment and are looking for a perfect mix which high-end phones that run on Android, iOS and Windows 8 provide. Those looking for a serious business phone go for BlackBerry," adds Prasad. Although phones which run on Android come at a lower price tag as well, the quality of display and processor causes limitations.
Android is popular for the number of apps and the large variety of handsets that run on it. However, judging by sales of high-end phones in the city, the iPhone seems to be leading the race. Vinod Sarma, who works at Aptronix, a premium reseller of Apple, says that those who walk into his shop are already aware of the features of the phone. They are mostly below the age of 40, looking for a user-friendly phone, and willing to pay for quality. "The beauty about the iPhone is that it does not catch a virus or hang," says Sarma. "The company has earned the reputation of being innovative and offering the best when it comes to technology."
Apple offers service through its premium resellers so that it can reach out to its customers and ensure that the customers are getting the most out of their device. The launch of a new phone can change the entire scenario overnight.
Keeping up with the latest can be expensive but when a mobile phone stays with you all day and sleeps with you at night the extra money seems worth it.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte meet that attracts the best of the world's swimmers has a new name, and may get a new pool in the next few years.
The meet, known as the UltraSwim for nearly 30 years, lost its shampoo-brand sponsor and, this year, went by the name Arena Grand Prix. The new name reflects new sponsorship of the annual Grand Prix series of meets that showcases the country's best swimmers and some of their international competition.
But the meet has also gotten too big for its own good, said host team SwimMAC's head coach, David Marsh.
It has outgrown this pool about five years ago, said Marsh, reflecting on the crowds that pack the pool and the stands each year.
Finals have sold out the past several years as fans filled the uptown Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center to watch luminaries like Michael Phelps, Ricky Berens, and Ryan Lochte perform in Olympic-caliber races.
Not only does the club turn away $30-a-ticket fans, but limits the number of swimmers who come too.
More swimmers would require more heats to be run during the day, and so many of them cram the four-lane, short-course warm-down pool that swimmers are getting hurt. An Olympian from Florida was injured in the crowded pool Saturday night, said Marsh.
This year there's a desperate run on the number of people at the meet, said Marsh. We could have a lot more people participating if we had more space.
Thursday, Marsh announced a capital campaign to raise $6 million for a new aquatic complex in Mooresville that would include two 50-meter pools suitable for big meets, training, public swims, and lessons.
The money would also pay for renovations of SwimMAC's current 25-lane training pool adjacent to the Charlotte Latin school and four other, smaller pools in Mecklenburg County.
Marsh believes the club could raise enough money within the year to break ground on the Mooresville complex by next year. The pool would take approximately 18 months to build.
When asked if the new complex would host the Grand Prix meet, Marsh said, It could certainly host this meet, yes.
Olympian Michael Phelps also expressed his approval of a new venue, noting that he's always loved the crowds in Charlotte.
But, continued Phelps, To really continue to grow the sport of swimming it would be nice to have a new facility down here, and that's something I'm looking forward to seeing.
UltraSwim meet founder and longtime meet manager Jeff Gaeckle said he's not ready to throw in the towel on the old pool... yet. Gaeckle said the 23 years the meet has spent at the uptown aquatic center has drawn top talent because out-of-town competitors love the location.
The swimmers love coming to Charlotte, he said. They love the ambiance of Charlotte, the uptown hotels, the restaurants -- easy to walk to -- beautiful, beautiful city.
He wishes the county could expand the pool space at its current venue.
Renovations that will close the aquatic center for most of 2015 won't include any new pools. The meet would need a different venue next year, but he said he would be reluctant to leave instead of coming back.
We're very proud we're able to host it here, he said.

This game had the best optimisation I've seen in any game to date. I could play this on high graphic settings on an now 10 year old rig with almost zero issues in performance.
Even with all this games issues it atleast deserves that credit.
Cosmetic items only in the cs, no charge for any dungeons or zones etc ... Well done! .. could this really be the first true f2p title?.
and lmao at the dig at swtor.
Just like everyone was saying...F2P would come after box sales hit bottom. A F2P game maker, making a F2P game as a sub to get more money before making the game F2P.
Its almost brilliant in its madness.
I guess I don't have to kill myself for my first Chrono Scroll after my initial 30 days runs out at the end of this month.
And I still sub to SW TOR but also thought their jabs at their F2P model was hilarious.

Claude Julien says Brad Marchand's skating, work ethic need to improve
|10.28.13 at 8:58 pm ET
Claude Julien was rather honest when asked what Brad Marchand needs to do to snap out of an early season funk that would likely still have him on the third line if not for Loui Eriksson's injury.
Marchand was demoted to the third line in favor of Reilly Smith in the third period of the Bruins' fourth game of the season, but he's back on Patrice Bergeron's line with Eriksson out. Julien said he spoke to Marchand and that skating and work ethic are the two things he needs to improve.
"Yeah, skating," Julien said Monday. "We talked about that, and we had a real good practice today. He seemed to have a little bit more jump. I think when Brad skates the way Brad can skate, he's quick. He's a real fast skater and stuff like that. If he can start using his speed and put a real good work ethic along with that, like a compete level that we know he can, just those two things alone will make a huge difference for him. Today I think he responded well to that.
"I thought he had a real good practice. He was skating better than I've seen him skate in a while, so hopefully he continues to work on that part of it and he's going to be fine."
Marchand finished second on the Bruins with 28 goals in the 2011-12 season and figured to be in line for a big season as he enters his prime with the addition of Eriksson to his line. It hasn't been pretty so far, however, as Marchand has one goal, a minus-1 rating and has committed numerous turnovers.

Kidman says she's OK but shaken after bike hit
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — Nicole Kidman says she was shaken up after being knocked down by a bicyclist on a New York City sidewalk.
Kidman appeared on the red carpet Thursday night celebrating Francisco Costa's 10th anniversary as the women's creative director of the Calvin Klein Collection.
Earlier, she was outside a hotel when she was hit by a bicyclist. She was knocked to the ground, but in an interview with The Associated Press at the Calvin Klein event, she said she was OK.
Kidman added: "I'm up, I'm walking around, but I was shaken."
Police say a 19-year-old bicyclist was issued three summonses for riding a bike on the sidewalk, riding a bike with no helmet and reckless driving.

Deep-fried delights
Hanukkah's Festival of Lights is the right time to indulge in high-fat desserts
I've been celebrating Hanukkah for nearly half a century. And it just dawned on me why we call the Festival of Lights the happiest eight days of the Jewish calendar. Who wouldn't be merry if they were told — mandated — to forgo their no-fat, low-fat, just-a-tiny-bit-of-fat desserts, and instead pay homage to the miracle of the oil by eating only foods that can be fried in the glorious golden substance.
Every year, we celebrate the first recorded war for religious freedom when the Jewish Army defeated its enemies, took back the temple that had been defiled and watched a tiny cask of olive oil stay lit for eight days, when it should have been bright for only one. We hope that the no-fat proponent Dr. Dean Ornish will look the other way during Hanukkah, when the rest of us are relishing sufganiyot — fluffy fried doughnuts stuffed with sugary sweet fillings, Middle Eastern fried funnel cakes, fried apple fritters — any combination of flour, eggs, and sugar that we can toss into a pot of bubbling, boiling oil and watch and wait as a few prosaic ingredients suddenly turn into crunchy, golden brown, melt-in-your-mouth addictive delicacies.
The main problem with eating these delectable desserts is that you can never eat just one. Which means that when Hanukkah ends on Dec. 28, the oil goes back into the cupboard until after the new year, while we use our best discipline of the year to take off the extra pounds we'll invariably put on. But it's worth it. As the host of NPR's "Good Food," Evan Kleiman is fond of saying, "All year long, I avoid french fries like the plague. On Hanukkah, I celebrate the miracle of the oil. And love it."
Although doughnuts are the most popular Hanukkah dessert in the U.S. and Israel, where they are called sufganiyot, according to Rabbi and cookbook author Gil Marks, "Jewish communities all over the world have their own regional version of these fry cakes, which are made with yeast and shaped into round balls, which become puffed when they are fried. They can also be powdered, glazed or sprinkled, but most people prefer them filled with jams for Hanukkah. And these modern delicacies are prepared practically the same way today as they were 2,000 years ago."
In Germany and Poland, doughnuts were filled with plum and prune jams because those fruits were plentiful at Hanukkah. A filling made of poppy seeds was also popular. Many people find Bismarks (presumably named after the first Chancellor of the German Empire) the crème de la crème of doughnuts. The small, rim-shaped cakes are filled with generous helpings of custards and crèmes and often topped with chocolate or powdered sugar.
Since John Baylin, who does kosher and non-kosher catering in San Diego, cooks mainly for large groups of people, he looked for a way to shorten the doughnut-making process. He was so pleased when he found a recipe for fluffy instant doughnuts; it calls for a cake mix containing flour that has rising elements.

The Most Important Financial Journalist of Her Generation
For the public, the financial crisis has demonstrated the degree to which Morgenson matters. We've just experienced a long period of radical deregulation that touched off a sea change in the business culture and at the same time created an information vacuum. How was the public to know about Wall Street-backed predatory lending and the scale it had reached? Most of the business press ducked the challenge, sticking largely to tried-and-true formulas: personality profiles, scoops handed out by insiders and after-the-fact explanations of the latest corporate scandal. And while the press did publish some investor- and consumer-oriented stories about the housing bubble, defective mortgage products and the like, it was culturally incapable of grasping the big picture--that, for instance, the financial sector had gone rogue.
Morgenson got it then and gets it now. Ignoring the eye rolls of her peers, pushing back against the lawyers and the flacks, she aims her reporting straight at the heart of the matter--and in doing so points the way for a more credible business press. Many groaned, for instance, at her repeated pounding in recent years on excesses in executive compensation. But we now know that compensation lies at the center of today's crisis, since everyone from mortgage brokers to Wall Street executives was given incentives to sell financial products without regard for their quality. Similarly, what Morgenson saw as a fairness problem became a systemic one, since income distortions left a borrower class too strapped to repay consumer loans. More broadly, her tone of urgency and accountability gave the public the message it needed to hear: something in the system had gone deeply awry.
Morgenson made fairly strenuous efforts to talk me out of this profile, arguing variously that she wasn't the story, that others in the mortgage mess were far more significant, that attention might impair her effectiveness, etc. (As a thoughtful journalist, I of course blew all this off.) Waiting for her in a restaurant around the corner from her office at the Times, I'm more nervous than I expected to be. Not helping my sang-froid was the one-word description a friend at the Times offered of Morgenson's grimly focused demeanor in the newsroom: scary. She sweeps in--tall, blond hair well coiffed at shoulder length, blue eyes, carrying stuff, chattering apologies about being (two minutes) late--and I'm relieved and surprised to find how quickly it feels like I'm talking with an old friend. Over eggs and granola, she is chatty, even dishy and disarmingly open. At a certain point, though, I touch a nerve--something to do with her prerogatives at the Times, I think--and the chitchat ceases. Her eyes narrow and now seem icy as she stares across the table. I start to understand what it is like to face off against her.
But that's part of the formula. She has a lot of power for a business reporter, and she acts like it. When I ask, for instance, what she thinks of her former employer, Forbes--a question that would seem to call for some diplomacy--she says simply, "Awful. Terrible." Breaking a few more industry taboos, she then unfavorably compares current Forbes editor William Baldwin with his predecessor, the late Jim Michaels, one of her mentors.
"Jim Michaels had a knack for taking a small story and making it big," she says slyly. "Bill Baldwin has a knack for making a big story small."
(Baldwin, reached later, brushes off the slam. "Forbes has always been brusque in judgment and tough on people, and if you dish it out you have to learn to take it," he says.)
Still, plutocrats and liberals expecting or hoping to find a stern ideologue in Morgenson--or, really, sweeping views from her of any kind--will be disappointed. For one thing, many will be surprised to learn she's a moderate Republican. "I believe in capitalism," she says. "To me it's natural that I would go after the people who are wrecking it."
What becomes apparent over several conversations is that Morgenson is a business reporter--no more, no less. She's more likely to mention investors as her main concern than readers or "the public." Her views are pragmatic, sometimes small-bore to the point that her detail-laden writing can turn off casual readers. Her fixes are meliorative and not particularly original--better regulation, more competition. Her radical idea is, basically, that regulators should regulate, rating agencies should rate according to the merits of the credit, corporate compensation committees should set executive pay at arm's length, directors should look to the interests of shareholders first, large shareholders should act like the owners they are and mortgage lending should be something other than a game of three-card monte. That these views are seen as "antibusiness" in some circles tells us less about Morgenson than about the ethical breakdown among this generation's corporate elites.
"If you're going to believe this is an ownership society where you're going to take part in the upside, if you're going to participate in a sort of populist form of capitalism...you have to be confident that the agents have your best interests at heart," she says.

I hate crazy glue! It's impossible to use without getting it all over you, and it NEVER works as advertised.
I've always thought that there's some special kind of crazy glue that "professionals" use, and the rest of us are stuck with the defective stuff. Somebody tell me I'm wrong or is this just my special curse?

Merry Christmas fund helps Issaquah families at the brink
December 3, 2013
The people that turn to Issaquah Community Services for assistance are often in dire need.
These are families that could lose their home if the nonprofit didn't step in with the next payment; these are people who would live without electricity if Issaquah Community Services didn't exist.
Just ask Maria, an Issaquah resident who recently received a helping hand from the organization that provides emergency financial aid to residents of the Issaquah School District in the form of utility payments, rent assistance and other miscellaneous contributions. (Maria's last name isn't being used for her safety.)
"The people that are going to ICS, they really, really need help," she said.
Merry Christmas Issaquah assists families in need
November 26, 2013
When popular Bellevue eatery Lil' Jon restaurant went up in flames June 13, it was a heartbreaking blow for regulars that frequented the spot, known for its breakfasts.
It was even worse for Issaquah resident and Lil' Jon server Marita Davidson, who temporarily lost her job, as the restaurant underwent a major rehabilitation.
"It's been there so long and nothing tragic has ever happened there before, so we were all in shock and devastated by that," she said. "It was hard to regroup after that with the loss of income."
Merry Christmas fund sets goal at $75,000
November 19, 2013
In 2008, former Issaquah resident Ellen Loney had arguably the worst month of her life.
In the span of just 30 days, Loney lost her job and her mother. She would have lost the roof over her head, too, if it weren't for the generosity of a local nonprofit organization.
"It was a very bad month, a very bad time, and Issaquah Community Services saved the day," Loney said in a phone interview from her new home in Lynnwood.
Community Church finds temporary home
September 10, 2013
The Community Church of Issaquah, the city's longest-established church, has been without a home since February.
After 45 years on Mountain Park Boulevard Southwest, Community Church of Issaquah sold the building to the Living Hope Bible Church.
While exploring locations for a permanent home, the congregation is temporarily worshiping at 1:30 p.m. Sundays at Issaquah Christian Church, 10328 Issaquah-Hobart Road, while maintaining an office at 85 N.W. Alder Place, in downtown Issaquah.
Merry Christmas Issaquah sets donor record, but falls short of goal
January 8, 2013
Though Merry Christmas Issaquah set a record for the number of donors, Issaquah Community Services did not meet the goal set for the 2012 fundraising drive.
Donors can still give to Merry Christmas Issaquah
January 1, 2013
Merry Christmas Issaquah is still more than $11,000 shy as the annual fundraising drive for the nonprofit Issaquah Community Services continues.
Donors can still give to Merry Christmas Issaquah to help Issaquah Community Services reach a $75,000 goal. So far, 199 donors have contributed $63,698 in much-needed funds.
The all-volunteer organization provided more than $88,000 in assistance to local families last year, in the form of rent and utility assistance, or emergency aid. The city provides office space and overhead, so 100 percent of donations go to people in need.
Merry Christmas Issaquah fundraising drive is 45 percent under goal

The all-volunteer organization Issaquah Community Services provided more than $88,000 in assistance to local families last year, in the form of rent and utility assistance, or emergency aid.
Merry Christmas Issaquah helps during hardships all year
December 18, 2012
Sudden hardships can expose people reeling from the effects of the fragile economy to even more risk — financial trouble, utility shutdowns and, in extreme cases, homelessness.
Merry Christmas Issaquah strengthens community ties
December 11, 2012
Since the economy entered a nosedive in 2008, and throughout the fragile recovery since, volunteers at Issaquah Community Services keep hearing a familiar story.
The breadwinner for a household, laid off during the recession, needs help to make ends meet. The volunteers listen and, in many cases, offer assistance to pay the rent or to keep the electricity on.
Milicent Savage, Issaquah Community Services president, remembers the stories from two men recently at the organization's office.
The men, both fathers and husbands, needed assistance to cover rent expenses for the month. Savage recalled how one man — a former Microsoft employee now working as a custodian — broke down.
Hallelujah! Sing & Play Along Messiah! returns
December 11, 2012
Christmas revelers can create a joyful noise and benefit Issaquah Community Services as St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church hosts Sing & Play Along Messiah! — a concert to aid people in need throughout the community.
Proceeds from the event go to Issaquah Community Services' Merry Christmas Issaquah fund.
"The real intent behind 'Messiah' was and still is to benefit the needs of the local community," said Jason Anderson, associate for liturgical arts and youth formation at the downtown Issaquah church.
George Frideric Handel composed "Messiah" in 1741 to illustrate scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. "Messiah" ranks among the best-known musical works from the Baroque period, and the piece is especially popular around Christmas

Customer Reviews
Nice and simple
I have tried a ton of project / time keeping apps and i have to say that for strictly time keeping this app could be the best however there are a few reasons why it's not today.
1: When I add time from multiple projects in the same day the time is updated in the app (if I select the date the pop up box shows all projects) but the calendar does not update the time from any of the projects except the first one unless I switch to week view and then it usually updates the hours on the calendar but not always.
2: When I go through all of the steps to add time to a project, if I select a project without a task I have to cancel all of the input I just entered and go to settings to add a task for that project. I should be able to add the task in the time entry mode.
3: If I try to add a picture to my profile when I select open my photo library the app crashes.
Apart from these annoyances and time stealing issues, this app is the best time keeping app in the app store. Once these issues are fixed this is a five star app.
Works for multiple clients with multiple projects
I have my own business and work on multiple projects for mutliple clients. I have used this for about 4 months and it works well for me. It's much better than the previous app I used. I like that you can pause the timer if you get interrupted, and that you can enter notes for each task.
The only reason that it got 4 stars instead of 5 is that you will have to invest a little time in figuring out how it works, as other reviewers have noted.
Awkward to use, incomplete invoicing
I needed to track hours and create an invoice for a project underway.
Presented with a nice task calendar I tapped on a selected date, no go. To enter the time spent on a task with a client you must first go to settings and create a client entry, then create a project name, then anticipate all the tasks you want to record hours for and enter them.
To create a new manual log entry, you select a date with the confounded spinning wheels, which always begin with todays date and time, then select a client, a project and a task - you cannot create a new project or task on this form, so if you have spun the date back a few months, entered all the data but need a new task - you have to start over.
I created an invoice for my client, BUT the description of the task is truncated to about 10 characters so it is useless for your client.
Although one may have good task descriptions and even notes attached to each entry THE ONLY OUTPUT is the crap invoice in PDF format.
I wasted hours on this one.

Taxi rip-offs, Lisbon
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
I was reading the tips on this subject and I noticed that everyone talks about the airport taxis... The taxis that go around in Lisbon are just the same! They are always trying to "steal" money from you whether you are a tourist or not. That doesn't matter to them.
With luggage, from the airport you should never pay more than 10 euros, going to any place in Lisbon. If you cross the whole city during the day with no luggage, you shouldn't pay more than 7 euros. Have these prices in mind. I take the taxi several times and I always use those prices as a reference. If you are traveling at night add 2 or 3 euros.
Fun Alternatives: Always talk with the driver before getting inside the taxi. If you seem to know how much you should be paying they won't go for drives around the city.
I live in Lisbon and take the taxi to and from the airport only because I can drive there, and know my way around the city. If this is not your case,by all means, avoid the taxi drivers from the airport.
Unique Suggestions: Avoid these crooks by planning in advance and getting advice from locals. Go to www.cm-lisboa.pt and www.carris.pt for maps/transport info. Get a map at the tourist information kiosk.
Taking note of the license plate, getting a receipt and complaining to the police will have effect only after you leave. So, avoid the problem instead of dealing with it.
Fun Alternatives: At the airport, follow the indications for City Bus, and take it. The fare is €3 and it stops at 3 places (Entrecampos, Saldanha, Marques Pombal) where you can take the subway, trains or buses to most places in and out of the city.
If you are not carrying much luggage, instead of taking the citybus, walk 20 meters further down the street and take bus no. 22 or 45. They will both stop at Marques Pombal.
I'm ashamed to say that in my own city, in the place where I've been in countless times (airport), and in the service I've used many times in the past, I or rather, we (as I was with my husband when it happened) could still fall victim to an airport taxi driver's ruse.
We had just arrived at the airport from a longish trip, it was quite dark and we were just plain tired, so instead of the airport bus, we decided to take an airport taxi. It was going to be just a very short ride, around 5 minutes, as we just wanted to get to the Roma/Areeiro train station which is very close. From previous taxi rides to the station, I knew that the bill would be between 6 to 7 euros. The driver was a young man, quite enthusiastic, his taxi was a new Mercedes, nice-smelling inside with a GPS and all, we were glad to have the good luck to get into a comfortable taxi after a tiring day. So off we go, and before we knew it we had arrived. The driver pressed the taxi meter and then told my husband how much everything was. I was already half out of the car so didn't hear very well. Besides I was tired and only cared about getting home. The driver was pulling our two bags and my husband was handing him the money, and I was somehow surprised that for the 20 euro bill, my husband got back only a few little coins. But I didn't bother as it never crossed my mind that a driver here would even think of ripping off his own fellow Portuguese -- my husband was even chatting with him, it was pretty obvious we were no tourists.
It was only after he speeded off, that I asked my husband how much it was and he said about 16 euros! I was shocked and angry, now I realised why the guy was in a hurry to get out the bags and give back the change and drive away. Apparently, he had said that each bag in the trunk has a fee -- like 4 euros each! We were sort of robbed with our eyes open. And I had ourselves to blame for not paying attention... I admit we were tired, but we were also complacent trusting that we were in our own place and nothing like this could have happened. Thus, the driver must have sensed we were gullible at that moment.
It was my first time to have experienced this in all my years of taking the airport taxi, most of the drivers are honest. I certainly hope it was the last!
Unique Suggestions: Be aware that there is NO such ridiculous thing as a baggage fee in taxis, airport or any other taxi. The price to pay is exactly what is said in the taxi meter. To have an idea of how much to pay, consult the price indication posted on the taxi's left passenger window's side -- they are obliged to demand only what's provided by law as written in that notice.
Fun Alternatives: Take the Airport Bus, if you're getting off anywhere along the route the bus takes.
They will charge the tourist anything they wish. We were charged 20 Euros from the Airport to the Sheraton - a journey which took 8 minutes
Unique Suggestions: Best to ASK the average fair including the cost of transporting the luggage - before getting into the taxi.
I wish the Airport authorities would have some sort of method in trying to prevent this rip off. Watch for the Italian sounding taxi drivers.
Fun Alternatives: Would not recommend public transport to get from Airport to hotel - unless one has no luggage. Kind of unlikely for a visitor.
Some years ago, we would have a Taxi at the airport. Before taking the taxi, i went to the Tourist office and asked them how much the trip would cost. They told me NOT to pay more than.... so we went out to get the Taxi. I asked the driver how much, and he told me a higher price than the Tourist office had told me, so i said i wouldn`t pay that much. We got another one who took the right fare,
Unique Suggestions: If you want to make sure you are paying the right price in the Taxi, buy a "Taxi Voucher" at either the Tourist office at the airport or at the Welcome Center at Praca do Commercio.
ok...everything ok...the flight was nice...Lisbon is great from the sky...but after that...normally people get a Taxi here...this Taxi drivers like to do BIGGG trips trough Lisbon until you're in your Hotel...
Unique Suggestions: In my opinion is better to do some..."painting"... in your Lisbon Map...normally Turists go to the Downcenter...and you've some 4/5 different ways to arrive there!...see in the map yuor direction and do some different routes!
Fun Alternatives: difficult...you have the bus...but...ufffffffffffff....to bad from the airport. Try to find a friendly taxi driver...that speak english...but...after enter the taxi...always look to the taximeter!
Some taxi drivers like to go for a longer walk than is indeed necessary, specially from the airport... Just pretend you have already been here and, even if you do not know the street names, you still remember very well the "lovely walk" to the same hotel you are going now...
Unique Suggestions: Ask the average price and insist on knowing it (average of course)...
Also ask for the amount destined to the luggage witch is pre-established by the law...
Remember, not all taxi drivers are like that, you will find very friendly, honest and helpful ones...
Fun Alternatives: Public transportation is good in central Lisbon but it gets terrible in peripherical areas...
Any way, the drivers usual are friendly and help you a lot...
I don't like to speak about this but some of them have shown us the entire city (which is not so big) trying to get one more euro... or even less
I haven't complained about it as I had to recognise that for a lot of people the life is hard...
You shall be anyway aware about it... even if the price of the taxi is not so high in Lisbon.
We have spent usually about 4 to 5 euro which is the price of half glass of wine in Norway.
The highest price was from the airport to the hotel... 20 euro.
The price was only 14 but the driver ask us 3 euro for the bags and his eyes told me that I should not expect the rest of 3 euro
As an interesting info, from the hotel to the airport an honest driver asked only 7, 5 euro ;)
Unique Suggestions: Try to enjoy the trip as anyway it is cheap... as you'll find the taxis everywhere and this is really comfortable...
Fun Alternatives: Don't mention that you're first time in Lisbon and try to follow the direction on a map.

I can only give you a finger job
Wanna be the stud now I'm the stooge
Wouldn't be weird if my balls weren't so huge

I guess it would be great if I was hung like a horse
I gotta let nature take its course

A Fleetwood couple have been charged with several sexual criminal offenses involving children, according to the Ashe County Sheriff's Office.
Joni K. Baldwin, 31, of Fleetwood, was arrested Saturday, May 17, 2014, on felony child abuse and first degree sexual offense of a child by an adult, according to the ACSO.
The victims are the children of Baldwin, according to Ashe County Sheriff's Capt. Carolyn Gentry.
Baldwin is currently being held in the Ashe County Detention Center under a $300,000 bond.
The charges resulted from an investigation that began in January 2014, according to Gentry.
Baldwin had been arrested earlier this year, on Jan. 31, 2014, on multiple counts of obstruction of justice and intimidating state witnesses. She had been released from the Ashe County Detention Center while awaiting trial on those charges.
Baldwin's husband, James Allen Jordan, was also arrested and charged with several sexually-related offenses, including rape of a child and five counts of sexual assault by an object on Jan. 22, 2014, according to the ACSO.
He was also arrested on multiple counts of obstruction of justice and intimidating state witnesses on Jan. 31, 2014.
Jordan remains in the Ashe County Detention Center under bond.
Gentry said additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.

Stephan Marley ft. Damian Jr. Gong Marley & Snoop Dogg - Traffic Jam (Remix)
Artist: Stephen Marley
Featuring: Snoop Dogg
Producer: Stephen Marley/Niggarachi
Album: Mind Control
Avg Rating: 4.5 ( 6 votes )
One of Bob Marley's several sons in the reggae business, Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley is back on the scene with the remix to his brother Stephen's, Traffic Jam. In an I'm A Flirt fashion, Stephen steps back, but the song remains solid thanks to a new verse from Snoop Dogg as well as production by his alter ego Niggarachi. Damian gives yet another demonstration of the rasta lifestyle, while Snoop explains that his isn't that much different, from the marijuana to a distrust of police. Such crossover appeal should help make Traffic Jam the latest hit in the Marley family dynasty.

MW3: Improving your game
Today I want to talk to you about improving your MW3 skill. First thing I want to talk about today is what gun to use. I guess the gun you will be using will be based on what map you are playing on, what game mode you are playing and your playing style. If you like to play defensive and pick off enemies long range, you will probably have more success with a burst gun or a semi automatic. If you like to rush or you are always in close quarter situations then you will have more success with a sub machine gun or and assault rifle.
Another Important thing in having successful games is aim. If you do not have very good aim then you are probably not doing as well as you could be doing. One trick that has helped me drastically is using something like the L18A with suppressor. Now you may be thinking "Why would I put a silencer on my sniper rifle. I'm just going to get loads of hit markers". That is exactly the point. After getting so many hit markers you will start to aim for the head more instead of shooting all over the place. This will make you not only a better sniper but a better all around COD player. Another way is to raise your sensitivity by two. Keep playing until your are comfortable with your sensitivity. Then lower it by one. You will notice that your aim will still be accurate except now you can turn faster and get your cross hairs on the enemies quicker.
If you are looking to boost your K/D then all you have to do is play infected. Try to survive as long as you can and get as many kills as possible. Once you die just stay put until the match is over. Using this method, noobs can still maintain a positive K/D. It isn't all that fun but it works. This will also boost your W/L.
