President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday summoned uncommon courage, firing four of his ministers - three of which have been enmeshed in controversies and corruption allegations.
The sack of the four ministers is the second major overhaul of the lacklustre federal cabinet undertaken by President Jonathan in the last seven months.
The ministers relieved of their appointments are Stella Oduah (Aviation), Godsday Orubebe (Niger Delta Affairs), Caleb Olubolade (Police Affairs) and Yerima Ngama (Finance).
Briefing journalists after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting at the Presidential Villa, Information Minister, Labaran Maku, said the president announced the removal of the ministers during the meeting.
"The President announced further changes in the Federal Executive Council," Mr. Maku said. "He said a number of ministers had been asked to step out from the council to pursue their own interests, some in politics and others in their own private focus. Mainly what the President did today was to allow the Ministers that have indicated interest in pursuing further growth in the economy to be allowed to go."
Mr. Maku said the Aviation ministry would now be supervised by the Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Samuel Ortom. While the Ministry of Niger Delta would be supervised by its Minister of State, Gauis Ishaku , the Ministry of Police Affairs would be supervised by the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Olajumoke Akinjide. The Ministry of Finance would continue to be manned by its minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Showing them the door
While Ms. Oduah was sacked in absentia as she was not at the cabinet meeting, the other affected ministers were in attendance at what turned out their last FEC meeting.
The ministers of police affairs and Niger Delta affairs however left before the end of the meeting.
The sack of the cabinet members came barely seven months after nine of their colleagues were dropped and two weeks after the president sent 12 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
The ministers sacked last September were Shamsuddeen Usman (Minister of National Planning), Olugbenga Ashiru (Foreign Affairs), Hadiza Mailiafia (Environment), Ruqqayat Ahmed (Education), Ita Ewa (Science and Technology) and Ama Pepple (Housing and Urban Development).
Others were Bukar Tijani (Minister of State for Agriculture), Zainab Kuchi (Power), and Olusola Obada (Defence).
The new ministerial nominees the president sent to the Senate on January 21 for confirmation are Aliyu Gusau (Zamfara), Boni Haruna (Adamawa), Musiliu Obanikoro (Lagos), Akon Eyakeni (Akwa Ibom), Mohammed Wakil (Borno), Lawrencia Mallam (Kaduna), Aminu Wali (Kano) and Jumilia Salik (Kano).
Asabe Ahmed (Niger), Abduljelili Oyewale (Osun), T.W. Danagogo (Rivers) and Khaliru Alhassan (Sokoto) were also nominated.
Before the removal of the nine ministers nine months ago, two others -- Haliru Mohammed (Defence), and Inuwa Abdul-kadir (Youth Affairs) -- were dropped while Ali Pate (Minister of State for Health) resigned to take up a teaching appointment in the United States.
Although, Messrs Orubebe and Olubolade are believed to have been fired to enable them pursue their gubernatorial interests in Delta and Ekiti States, respectively, that cannot be possibly be said of Ms Oduah and Mr. Ngama.
Oduah's bagful of scandals
It is believed that Ms. Oduah was forced to resign because of the various controversies and scandals trailing her.
The former aviation minister was found guilty by two panels, which probed the purchase of two bullet-proofs cars by an agency under her supervision, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, for N255 million in violation of Nigeria's public procurement and appropriation laws.
The House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, which held an investigative hearing on the matter, said in its report that the money used in purchasing the vehicles was not covered by the 2013 budget. It also said Ms. Oduah breached Nigerian laws by exceeding her approval limit and signing off over N634 million for the agency to buy 54 vehicles.
The Committee, headed by Nkiru Onyejiocha, then advised President Jonathan to review Mrs. Oduah's appointment as minister.
"The House urges the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to review the continued engagement of the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, for having contravened the Appropriation Act 2013 and the approved, revised thresholds by exceeding the Ministry of Aviation's approval limit of N100 million by the purchase of 54 vehicles valued at N643 million," the report said in part.
The President panel set up by the Federal Government on the matter equally found Mrs. Oduah guilty for breaching the laws of the land.
The panel was headed by the immediate past Head of Service of the Federation, Bello Isa and had as members the National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki and Dick Iruenebere, a retired Air Vice Marshall.
Apart from the scandal, Ms. Oduah was also involved in a certificate forgery scandal. The former minister was alleged to have claimed in the resume she submitted to the Senate for her confirmation hearing that a university, which was later found to be non-existent, awarded her a phantom honorary doctorate degree.
She also falsely claimed on the website of the Ministry of Aviation that she bagged a Masters degree from St. Paul College, Lawrenceville, Virginia, United States.
However, checks at the institution revealed that it did not award her the degree as it does not run graduate programmes.
Neighbour to Neighbour illegality
Also, the former aviation minister, alongside Mr. Orubebe and others had floated the "Neigbhbour 2 Neigbhour" organisation which campaigned for Mr. Jonathan during the 2011 presidential election, but which was later found to be involved in illegal activities.
The organisation, PREMIUM TIMES investigations revealed, was registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission as an NGO and was not supposed to be involved in any political campaign for any candidate or political party.
The organisation was registered as an 'incorporated trustee' on April 14, 2011, and has as trustees Ms. Oduah, who gave her occupation as businesswoman; Mr. Orubebe, a public servant; and Amalate Johnic Turner, a traditional ruler in Ijaw land, who gave his occupation as a businessman.
"We don't register organisations that have political motives. It is INEC that does that," Garba Abubakar, Special Adviser to the Registrar-General of the Commission, had told this newspaper.
Orubebe's corruption headache
In 2012, a group, Anti-Corruption Network, ACN, headed by a former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, accused Mr. Orubebe of corruption and abuse of office.
In a petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, the group accused the former minister of accepting gratification of a palatial mansion in Abuja, contrary to Section 12 of the Act.
The group said, "We write this Petition in the interest of our nascent democracy and the entire citizenry at large. It has become an adverse trend in our polity where public office holders under the guise of administrative functions illegally divert funds, contracts and even take benefits/gratifications in the award of contracts to companies whose promise of a reward is highest contrary to Sections 12,13,14, 20,22 and 25 of the Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Act, Cap. C31, LFN 2010(hereinafter referred to as the Act).
"A classic example inter alia is that of Elder Godsday Orubebe, the Minister of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs (MNDA). By virtue of his standing to influence the award of Contracts, Elder Godsday Orubebe abused his office by accepting a gratification of a palatial mansion on the property allocated to him in Abuja, FCT contrary to Section 12 of the Act.
"As it is from the above Elder Godsday Orubebe has patently abused the use of his office under Section 22 of the Act, Section 13 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap. C15 2010, and he is also guilty of an offence of corruption and abuse of office pursuant to Section 98 of the Criminal Code Act."
The former minister was also variously tongue-lashed by the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, for poor performance, especially for failing to complete the East-West Road, which is vital to the economy of the Niger Delta region.
Mr. Ngama and his Malabu fraud
Mr. Ngama, on his part was fingered in the messy but famous Malabu scandal as he, alongside the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, allegedly ignored petitions, a court case, and anti-corruption investigations, to hurriedly authorize the transfer of N155billion into accounts controlled by Dan Etete, a former Petroleum Minister, who claimed ownership of Malabu.
The former Minister of State for finance, who hails from Yobe State, connived with Mr. Adoke to move the funds, paid by Shell and Agip for the disputed oil bloc 245, into Malabu's account controlled by Mr. Etete.
Before his sack, Mr. Ngama, who is believed to be eyeing the governorship seat of Yobe State, had had a running battle with members of the Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC.
The Commissioners of Finance and Accountants-General of the 36 states and the FCT, who are members of the Committee had repeatedly protested to President Jonathan over alleged poor management of the affairs of the Committee.
Mr. Ngama also authored the controversial letter from the Ministry of Finance authorising the Nigerian Custom Service, NCS, to widen the scope of beneficiaries of the Export Expansion Grant. That letter is believed to have opened a floodgate of abuse of the customs duties waiver regime.

opinionBy M. U. Ndagi
Top on the agenda of the current session (7th in the series) of the National Assembly is the review of the 1999 constitution. Many Nigerians believe that some aspects of the existing constitution which was fashioned out by a military regime need to be reviewed, amended or altered. Such critical areas may among others include section 162 (6) which relates to the operation of "Joint Account" by state governments. What though seems flabbergasting is the manner in which some leaders (executive and legislative) at different levels of the structure of governance are aggressively pushing for or opposing specific amendments. This raises pertinent questions that interrogate the sincerity of the "official" motives for the review.
Granted that some aspects of the existing constitution fulfill all the requirements for review, more seem to be wrong with Nigerians (as interpreters and implementers of the constitution) than with the document. Is it, for instance, the fault of the constitution or that of the presiding judge who jails a criminal for stealing a chicken or a made-in-Aba pair of shoes whereas the same judge asks another who stole billions of naira to pay a small fine? That is the kind of judgment recently delivered by Justice Abubakar of the Federal High Court Abuja who ruled in the case of Mr. John Yakubu Yusufu, one of the eight accused persons standing trial over the embezzlement of N40billion from the police pension funds.
The former deputy director at the police pension office who pleaded guilty to the 3-count charge brought against him by the Economic and financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was accused of conniving with others to steal about N23billion. The EFCC also found N325million in Mr. John Yakubu's bank account in the addition to the over 30 "choice landed properties" in Abuja, Lagos and Gombe which the accused forfeited to government. Even if Mr. Yakubu had been on the salary of a permanent secretary from the day of his conception in the womb, it is doubtful that he could have legally owned those properties that run into billions. The judge amazingly sentenced the pension thief to two years in jail on each of the three charges to run concurrently with an option of N250, 000 fine on each count. What deterring purpose would the payment of a total of N750, 000 by a man who stole billions serve? The convict was however re-arrested by the EFCC probably because of public reaction to the judgment that though sounded like a "celebration of theft and thieves"!
Now, is it the result of constitutional deficiency that the former Delta State Governor James Ibori was discharged and acquitted by an Asaba High Court in 2009 or that of the trial judge who refused to find him guilty on any of the dozens of charges brought against him by the EFCC? Ibori was later to be found guilty of the same charges in a country where judges do not celebrate criminals but treat them according to provisions of the law. The issue is, even if you give Nigerians the best of constitutions, it may fail to make a difference if those saddled with the responsibility of implementing its provisions (in their capacities as judges or law enforcement agents) lack the willpower and commitment to doing so.
We may not be right to attribute our inability to tackle the socio-economic ills that threaten us as a nation to archaic laws that derive from a weak constitution. I think our failure in this regard lies more with our attitude generally: lack of conscience; high sense of irresponsibility; indiscipline; corruption; and a decadent value system. This is why you find some Nigerians asking for the enforcement of their fundamental human rights as enshrined in the constitution while at the same time they forget or rather refuse to perform the duties placed upon them by the same document. Some Nigerians need to be reminded or (in the case of many) educated that the rights of other citizens make up their duties just as their rights constitute the duties other citizens owe to them. The rights of others, indeed, begin from where ours end.
Is it not an irony to find people asking for "right to life" when actually the same people deny others the same right through armed robbery, political assassination and other violent crimes? Is it not ridiculous that those who as married men believe in the promotion of decent family life as contained in section 17(h) of the 1999 constitution are the same people who do not only engage in adultery but also made attempts in the recent past to legalize prostitution in Nigeria?
Is it not equally cynical that those who quote section 25 of the constitution to lay claim to Nigerian citizenship are the same people who deny other Nigerians the same right by labeling them as settlers? Is it not even more sarcastic that criminals who kidnap others (denying them one of their fundamental human rights) are the same people that (after their arrest) argue for bail and the enforcement of their right to freedom of movement?
Is it not a mockery of the constitution when the head of a federal government agency such as the Nigerian Immigration Service who (by the virtue of the public office she occupied) ought to have full knowledge of section 14(3) of the Nigerian constitution but chose to undertake a recruitment exercise that jettisoned the Federal Character of Nigeria? Is it not the height of travesty and betrayal that leaders who in their respective oath of office swore to the constitution which seeks in section 15(5) to "abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power" to have allowed some indicted public officers remain "untouchable" simply because such persons are the only "Maggie" cubes that can make the "meal" of the ruling party delicious.
It is in truth scoffing for a government which advocates Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in the provision of essential social services in the power, health and education sectors of the economy to pretend to forget about the same initiative when it thought of building a N4billion office for African First Ladies peace Mission in Abuja.
The review of the constitution should first begin with Nigerians themselves. They need to review many of the existing sections of their public and private life. This way, we would be able to forestall the possibility of having unprepared or inefficient presidents; accidental ministers or public servants; insensitive or double-tongued legislators; and ceremonial or supercilious local government chairmen. May Allah (SWT) guide to keep re-examining ourselves in order to repent from our sins, appreciate our weaknesses and lead a righteous life, amin.

Which New Mom Said "There Isn't a Day That I Don't Get Projectile Vomited On"?
We may have to redefine "The Biggest Loser."
Last May, Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels announced she had adopted a 2-year-old girl, Lukensia, and her longtime girlfriend, Heidi, had given birth to a baby boy, Phoenix.
Eight months later, Jillian tells Us Weekly, "Oh my God, the puking! I did not anticipate how much a child under 1 throws up! Every day. Every day! I just look at him, [like], 'Phoenix, honey, when do you stop puking?' I'm told it's after a year. But there isn't a day that I don't get projectile vomited on."
Thanks for the visual! At least she didn't give us the full Al Roker. Besides, babies are messy. It's not breaking news, it's just one of the trade-offs of raising such a cute and lovable mini human. Nobody's perfect!

Portable radar device locates buried disaster victims
Volunteers test the FINDER prototype at the Virginia Task Force 1 Training Facility in the USA
A portable radar device that detects the heartbeats and breathing patterns of disaster victims trapped under piles of rubble has been unveiled.
The prototype technology, called Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response (FINDER), can locate individuals buried as deep as about 9m in crushed materials, hidden behind about 6m of solid concrete, and from a distance of about 30m in open spaces.
The joint project between Nasa and the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate is based on remote-sensing radar technology developed by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to monitor the location of spacecraft JPL manages for Nasa's Science Mission Directorate.
"FINDER is bringing Nasa technology that explores other planets to the effort to save lives on ours," said Mason Peck, chief technologist for Nasa and principal advisor on technology policy and programs.
The technology was demonstrated to the media yesterday at the DHS's Virginia Task Force 1 Training Facility in Lorton, Virginia, with the device locating volunteers hiding under heaps of debris. FINDER also will be tested further by the Federal Emergency Management Agency this year and next.
"The ultimate goal of FINDER is to help emergency responders efficiently rescue victims of disasters," said John Price, program manager for the First Responders Group at DHS's Science and Technology Directorate. "The technology has the potential to quickly identify the presence of living victims, allowing rescue workers to more precisely deploy their limited resources."
The technology works by beaming microwave radar signals into the piles of debris and analysing the patterns of signals that bounce back. Nasa's Deep Space Network, an international network of antennas, regularly uses similar radar technology to locate spacecraft.
A light wave is sent to a spacecraft, and the time it takes for the signal to get back reveals how far away the spacecraft is. This technique is used for science research, too. For example, the Deep Space Network monitors the location of the Cassini mission's orbit around Saturn to learn about the ringed planet's internal structure.
"Detecting small motions from the victim's heartbeat and breathing from a distance uses the same kind of signal processing as detecting the small changes in motion of spacecraft like Cassini as it orbits Saturn," said James Lux, task manager for FINDER at JPL.
In disaster scenarios, the use of radar signals can be particularly complex. Earthquakes and tornadoes produce twisted and shattered wreckage, such that any radar signals bouncing back from these piles are tangled and hard to decipher.
JPL's expertise in data processing helped with this challenge as they were able to develop advanced algorithms that isolate the tiny signals from a person's moving chest by filtering out other signals, such as those from moving trees and animals.
Similar technology has potential applications in Nasa's future human missions to space habitats where the astronauts' vital signs could be monitored without the need for wires.

Name of your homeschooling blog
Do you accept comments from readers?
How Old is Your Blog?
My blog is just over a year old. The link above is to the very first entry.
Why did you start your homeschooling blog?
My blog initially started out as just a WordPad journal. I then decided to move it over to an online journal site so that family, friends, and anyone else who had an interest in the topic of homeschooling could read about my experiences. I figured perhaps somebody would find some of them helpful, or useful, or reassuring. If even one person came across it and found it to be any of those things, that's why it's online instead of on my computer's hard drive.
What do you cover in your homeschooling blog?
My blog started with the very first day (just over a year ago) I went up to my husband and asked him "So, um, you're going to think I'm nuts, but, uh, how do you feel about homeschooling?" I had never thought of myself as homeschool material before. But I was just so fed up with the public school system, I'd started doing a lot of reading up on homeschooling, and I had a gut feeling it was the right thing to do for our family- for entirely secular reasons. I was so scared he'd shoot me down that very first day! But he didn't! My blog covers just about EVERYTHING- from my reasons to wanting to homeschool, back in the days when I titled each entry "I Want To Pull My Child Out Of School," to the things I learned about it as I went, to the steps I took to making it happen. You will read about how I pulled my child out of public school a couple of months before the end of the school year (changing all my blog entry titles to "I've Pulled My Child Out Of School!," and what daily homeschooling and family life has been like in our home in the year since.
- I'm afraid I can't do much by way of advising people on how to start a blog. Mine doesn't get much traffic or comments. But it has been a fantastic journal/record of everything we went through to make us want to start homeschooling, to making it happen, to our first year as brand-new homeschoolers. I've been able to tell family and friends "Check it out. That's what we do. That's why we do it." I've been able to read back and smile on some of the memories, and to reassure myself of how much we really do, even on the days when it seems like we don't do much.

Dunn and Griffey are off the books. That's a savings of 20-some odd million per year. Sure, I know, so-and-so's contract went up and we're paying more for such-and-such next year, and Griffey has deferred money, and......but that happens every year. The fact of the matter is two players making over 20 million last year will not receive this money from the Reds next year. Why is nobody mentioning this money? Why hasn't this money been reinvested into the Reds? How to do this? I'll tell you:
1) Do not, I repeat, do not, trade any pitchers. None of them. Keep them all.
2) Do not waste $10 million per year on people like Burrell, Dye, Abreu, etc. Why the fascination with such a "right-handed bat to stick between Bruce and Votto"? Don't we have a lot of right-handed hitters as it is? It appears to me that the only left-handed bats on the roster who stand to see playing time next year are Bruce, Votto and Dickerson. This is too many lefties? We need more righties?
3) Don't trade away our young talent. None of it. We need it all.
4) Use the 20 million to sign 4 or 5 (or even 6 or 7!) free agents who can play defense, run, make contact, and maybe a little pop. We need baseball players, not swollen strikeout kings, and they can bat right, left, or standing-upside down for all I care.

KenolKobil's shares slid to a three-month low on Monday on fears over the impact a licensing dispute with the energy sector regulator would have on the company's business.
The oil marketer's shares closed the day trading at Sh9.15, down from Friday's price of Sh9.3, a level the security last touched on June 30 this year.
The price is just five cents off a five month low of Sh9.10 last touched on May 11.
"Retail investors have panicked and are therefore selling. Institutional investors are, however holding out, waiting to see how the situation develops. The company is very profitable, but is being bogged down by the regulatory actions," said an equities trader at Dyer and Blair Investment Bank who did not want to be named as he is not the firm's spokesperson.
The dealer said that the settlement of the actions against KenolKobil will greatly influence the firm's stock in the future.
KenolKobil said on Monday it had filed an application in the English High Court of Justice in London to appoint an arbitrator following the recent court ruling by Judge A.
Koome that the arbitration proceeding between KenolKobil and KPRL are governed by the English Arbitration Act.
In a press release filed through the Nairobi Stock Exchange in line with its recent communications, the company said it had served KPRL with the necessary orders, without specifying what those orders were.
Later, KPRL's chief executive Mr Raj Varma said that the current impasse between it and Kenol remains and is independent of whatever reprieve the oil marketer may get with regard to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) action last week.
In a letter dated September 2, 2010, ERC issued a notice to Kenol revoking its retail petroleum licence and instead providing the oil marketer with a set of new licences that would limit its business to the wholesale and export of petroleum products, excluding liquefied petroleum gas.
But Kenol rushed to court and secured an injunction against ERC's move as it prepared for a legal battle with the regulator to protect its commercial interests.
Through its lawyers Shapley Barret & Co, Kenol wants the ERC's action nullified and KPRL compelled to process its crude imports.
"Our client further requests you to tackle appropriate action to ensure that KPRL complies with the law and does not abuse its position as a statutory monopoly by refusing to render a public service to our client which is its captive customer," the law firm said in a letter to ERC.

Records Management Unit
Clarification of TAHO Advice 24
The Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office (TAHO) has clarified the advice they recently issued regarding the management and disposal of records on floppy discs (Recordkeeping Advice 24).
In Recordkeeping Advice 24, the Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office claimed that the technology to read 5.25 inch floppy discs was no longer available and therefore advised agencies that if they didn't know what was on a disc, then it could be disposed of by simply listing the number of unidentified discs in a Register of Records Destroyed. They have since discovered that there may be a way to read these discs after all and have issued a request for us to hold off on destroying any such discs until they can investigate further.
However, in response to our enquiries, they have advised us that business areas may still dispose of unidentified floppy discs (either 5.25 or 3.5 inch) in this way if they prove unreadable when accessed via an appropriate disc drive. In this case, you will need to list the discs in a Register of Records Destroyed. Please use a single entry row, noting the number of unidentified discs and the fact that you have attempted to read them in the description field. Leave the Disposal Schedule, Reference Number and Inclusive Dates fields blank.
Please note that this only applies in the case of floppy discs where you have no idea as to the nature of the contents. If you know what is on a floppy disc, then you will need to identify the appropriate disposal class for the disc's contents from those listed in the disposal schedules and cite its reference number in a Register of Records Destroyed, just as you would for any other record. For more information, see Information Sheet 3: Registers of Records Destroyed and Information Sheet 4: Disposal Schedules.
The Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office plans to issue an amended version of Recordkeeping Advice 24 to reflect these changes in the near future and the Records Management Unit will notify staff when this occurs.

Iran Gets Missile Shield
Barack Obama's administration, despite all the blood and treasure America spent in Iraq, somehow managed to fail in reaching a Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government.: That means that the United States, after overthrowing Saddam Hussein, and freeing a country uniquely located on the most strategically important piece of real estate in the Middle East does not have strategic residual forces within Iraq.
That failure has allowed Iran to fly freely over Iraqi airspace, prolonging the Syrian civil war by delivering arms to Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.: Month after month, nothing has been done by the Obama administration to help the people of Syria while Assad has butchered them.
Could it be that the plan all along has been to enable Iran's assistance of Syria so Iran could get their hands on a sophisticated, mobile missile defense shield, thereby tipping the balance of power in the region away from Israel towards Iran?
That Israel is destined to strike at the existential threat posed to them by a nuclear armed Iran demands the question: Has the Obama administration been actively working on behalf of Iran's Islamofascist regime, enabling them to obtain the tools needed to ensure an Israeli attack is incapable of eliminating their nuclear capabilities?
Is this part of Obama being "more flexible" on missile defense now that the election is over?
Just a little something to think about next time you hear Obama and/or whichever weak, dishonest: enabler he names as Secretary of State to replace "Hillary-the disaster going someplace to happen" (read: John Kerry) bragging about how through the UN, America has imposed "crippling economic sanctions" on Iran.

Canada is a vast country with numerous exciting cities, an awe-inspiring wilderness and magnificent mountain scenery interspersed with tranquil lakes. Holidays in Canada are characterised by wide open spaces and magnificent mountain vistas which teem with wildlife.
Canada's cities are without exception charming and picturesque. The capital city, Ottawa, is an elegant city situated on the Rideau Canal. Surrounded by mountains, forests and beautiful islands, Vancouver has one of the most beautiful settings of any city in the world. And then there's Quebec City, the only walled city in North America, with a fascinating history that is evident at every turn.
Toronto, Canada's largest city, boasts a marvellous cosmopolitan atmosphere and some world-class restaurants and entertainment. One must-see is the world-renowned CN Tower, which stands at 1,815ft tall and offers fantastic views across the city and beyond. Toronto is a city break in itself and a welcome addition to Canada holidays.
Just 80 miles from Toronto are the mighty Niagara Falls. Holidays to Canada would not be complete without a visit to this mesmerising natural phenomenon. The falls are divided into two parts - the American Falls and the larger and more impressive Canadian Falls: 180ft high with a crest of 2,200ft forming a horseshoe-shaped curve. The falls are dramatic from any viewpoint but for arguably the most dramatic view, take a journey on the 'Maid of the Mist' boat which takes you so close to the Falls that you will need to don waterproof clothing.
Victoria is the provincial capital of British Columbia. The city, situated on the Strait of Georgia on Vancouver Island, resembles an old English town with pretty streets and grand 19th Century buildings including the fabled Empress Hotel overlooking the picturesque inland harbour. Victoria is the perfect location from which to search for whales, and between May and September in particular you will be rewarded with plentiful sightings of the orca, humpback, minke and gray.
Montreal is situated in the French-speaking province of Quebec. This fascinating city boasts a large concentration of historic sites amidst 17th Century buildings, which are gently interrupted by a wealth of parks and gardens. The French influence is hugely evident throughout the city, particularly in the open air cafes, restaurants and markets which line the main streets. Be sure to take in the St Lawrence River which carves its way through the city, the Mount Royal and the Old Town, where you'll discover the beautiful Notre Dame Basilica.
Banff is an attractive town nestled in the heart of Banff National Park. The park, surrounding the town, is a wonderland of snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, sparkling streams and vast pine forests which dominate the landscape. In the town itself it is not unusual to spot wildlife in the main street. To really appreciate the expanse and beauty of the park, a helicopter ride offers a wonderful way to take in the immense splendour.
Of course, Canada is perhaps most famous for the Rocky Mountain range, fondly referred to as the Rockies. This vast mountain range in western North America stretches for 3,000 miles and no tour of Canada would be complete without embarking on an adventure here. You'll see some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, especially when the mountains are covered in glistening snow.
The Rocky Mountaineer train is famous all over the world as offering the rail journey of a lifetime. The train departs from the lovely town of Banff and carries her passengers through the majestic and mesmerising peaks. Enjoy the opportunity to relax and admire this world-class scenery and stop off at various significant points before finally arriving in Vancouver.
Icefields Parkway is a unique highway that cuts through the mountain ranges of the Rockies at a staggering 7,000 ft above sea level. The mountains that flank the highway rise to a mighty 11,000 ft - this is a remarkable location, incomparable to anywhere on earth. On your Canada tour, travel this spectacular highway en route to Jasper, a former railroad town in the heart of the breathtakingly beautiful Jasper National Park. In Jasper you can enjoy spectacular views from Pyramid and Patricia Lakes and if you are feeling adventurous, perhaps take the opportunity to embark on an ice walk through Jasper's Maligne Canyon.
Lake Louise can be easily reached from Jasper. Described by writers as the most beautiful place in Canada, this glacial jade-green lake is high in the mountains and surrounded on all sides by towering snow-capped peaks. It is hard to imagine a more idyllic location and the panorama across the lake and of the surrounding mountains are absolutely breathtaking - stay in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for the best views.
Canada is a vast land with a wide-ranging appeal and holidays in Canada promise fabulous landscapes, masses of wildlife, charming cities and inspiring journeys.

Very new but very eager!
So I'm brand new to this whole idea of building a pizza oven. I've never done any real construction, but I pick things up very quickly. I have no concerns what so ever that I CAN'T do this.
My only concern is the cost. I've put together a materials list spreadsheet with the quantities and approximate costs that I could gather online. So far the cost is pretty staggering, much more then I am willing to spend. For a 36 inch oven, I'm coming out to about $1,800.00 after tax. Most of the prices I've found are from Home Depot and Lowes' websites. Others are just through google's shopping site. I know that once I start calling around to local places and really looking for the least expensive prices, the costs are going to come down substantially.
My question though is, how much cash should I expect to dump in to this oven? I was really hoping to keep it under $1,000. I live in the Dallas, TX area. Additionally, what kind of "off the beaten path" places should I look for some of the more expensive items?
Re: Very new but very eager!
My 40 inch cost about $700 (Can) for materials.
Which of the items on your estimate are the "big ticket" items ?
Re: Very new but very eager!
I think it's possible. The expensive parts are premixed refractory mortar, ceramic fiber insulating materials, and the decorative touches you add for the enclosure/roof. If you mix your own refractory mortar using "recipe" in the plans, as well as vermiculite/concrete for the insulation, you should be OK. You'll have to look around for firebrick, which is expensive in some areas. Used ones have been put to good use for some builders. Just don't skimp on the insulation.
Re: Very new but very eager!
Be sure to check out Dave W's oven thread. He built his oven on a shoestring budget.

That's not actually proof of anything other than Snowden is wanted for something and the PM is worried that the press have classified information. It's not actual hard proof of what the NSA and co have been up to.
Like I said, I'm not saying all these revelations are lies, but as an intelligent & reasoning being, I require proof before I'm convinced.
The documents of some (all?) of these leaks are public AFAIK. I haven't looked to much into it, but I've seen the one where they explain how they use that tracking software of theirs. This being espionage with extremely damaging consequences for regular people and politics alike, it would be hard to find secondary sources. There would have to be additional whistle-blowers (unlikely due to the effect this would have on one's life and the lockdown Snowden triggered), spy agencies coming clean about the whole thing (won't hold my breath for that one) or "official investigations" (which would end up 99% redacted to the public).
To summarise, you have to read the leaked files that are public and make up your mind about them and/or trust (or not) the journalistic integrity of the people publishing these leaks.

DEAR Santa…
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 4:34 pm in Christmas.
This is sweet. Children across the country are invited to drop off their letters – stamped and addressed to Santa At The North Pole – at any Macy's store in the Santa Mail letterbox. And while we can't promise that Santa and the elves will grant every wish, Macy's is granting some wishes of its own. It has pledged to donate up to $1 million – $1 per letter – to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Donder, Blitzen and the gang would approve.

(North Canton, OH – Feb.18, 2009) – Stark State College enrollment grew 15 % this semester over the previous spring semester, adding 1261 students and setting a new record for the College which has sustained double-digit growth since 2003.
Official headcount for spring semester is 9625 credit students compared to 8364 credit students last spring semester. Figures are reported to the Board of Regents 14-days after the start of each semester.
"Stark State's enrollment growth aligns closely with Ohio public policy," said Stark State President John O'Donnell, Ph.D, citing Ohio's 10-Year Strategic Plan for Higher Education and its goal of educating more Ohioans. "Offering convenient, affordable access to all Ohioans, along with transfer opportunities from community and technical colleges to universities, will be the basis for meeting Gov. Strickland's goal of raising educational attainment in Ohio."
Providing more learning options for students through e-learning and satellite centers are two reasons for the College's growing enrollment, according to Cheryl Rice, vice president of student services and enrollment management. "Our students have busy lifestyles, juggling work and family responsibilities, and these alternative modes of delivery are perfect for them," Rice explained.
Enrollment in online classes grew by 28 % for spring semester, drawing students from 13 states. Over 200 online courses are offered along with complete online associate degree programs in computer science and engineering technology, computer programming and database, information reporting technology, Web design and development, and a one-year bookkeeping certificate.
The College continues to see growth in its satellite centers with nearly 700 students enrolled in the Downtown Canton Satellite Center located on the Timken Campus, and over 350 students at the Alliance Satellite Center at 1237 State Street.
"Our affordable tuition is another drawing card during these difficult economic times," said Tom Chiappini, vice president for business and finance. Stark State's tuition remains frozen at $127 per semester hour for a third consecutive year.
"Four new buildings with over 110,000 sq. ft. have been added in the past three years to accommodate the College's rapid growth," Chiappini said, "and a new 49,000 sq. ft. health sciences building will open this summer in response to the community's growing need for educated health care workers." Nearly 40 % of all Stark State students are enrolled in health technologies or pre-health programs.
Also driving the College's sustained high enrollment growth are new majors in emerging technologies, such as biotechnology, defense metals, fuel cells and cyber security/computer forensics. The College works closely with the new Defense Metals Center and the Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Prototyping Center, both headquartered on campus, to develop learning opportunities for students.
Stark State College offers 49 associate degrees, 15 one-year certificate programs, certificates of competency, contract training for business/industry, and continuing education for professional and personal development. For more information, call 330-494-6170.

Little Corners: Pencil Shavings
Today Rachel Shingleton of Pencil Shavings is welcoming us into her colorful Oklahoma City home!
Color plays an enormous role in our home. When we first moved in, everything was in builder beige, and I felt myself cringing at how blah everything felt. Slowly I've painted room by room. I realized one day that I wanted my home to feel like an Easter egg: softly colored with eggshell texture. My favorite room in the house is our formal living room, painted in a Robin's egg blue. My son's artwork is framed in the corner, and I love the additional color it lends to the room.
Undoubtedly one of my favorite corners is my side of the bed in our pistachio green master bedroom. The ginger jar lamps were a find – a pair for $10 – at a local antique shop. Paired with new shades, they instantly pulled our room together. And, occasionally, it also works as a necklace display for those pieces too large to put in my jewelry box. On the wall hangs a mirror and two vintage Chinoiserie-inspired plates from my parents' house.
Does this count as a corner? I was absolutely thrilled when we moved here 4 years ago to have a genuine entry. I think an entryway can be so crazy versatile. Right now, my vintage campaign desk (an eBay find!) lives here along with a lamp my husband gave me right before we got married. I love to switch up the items displayed – and of course, my subtly striped walls make me happier than a bird with a french fry!
Upstairs in my office, piles of colorful Alexander Girard pillows compete with the equally-bright Amy Butler patterns on this vintage French chair, another antique store find. Eventually I'd like to recover this chair to go with the pink-and-grey/blue colorscheme I've got going in here, as seen by the pink lamp in the corner.
Finally, another corner in our living room. Inspired by blogger Jenny Komenda at Little Green Notebook, I decided to make a skirted table. I love that it's form and function – it hides a multitude of crafts/sins underneath it! The plates on the wall are gifts from my husband over the years. The Chinoiserie-inspired pillow is Thomas Paul and the chair was from a Saks Fifth Avenue that went out of business. It was painted Pepto-Bismol pink and I spray painted it cream.

Easy Balsamic Berry Galette
Man, do I love berry season. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. All of them. And I can never resist picking up a carton or two when I walk by at the market. Last week my poison of choice were some huge blackberries. (They were as big as my thumb, I swear.) It's been a no-days-off kind of time around here, so I didn't want to spend hours in the kitchen. I opted for this berry galette that's super quick and easy, the balsamic gives it a savory sort of kick.
• 1 pint berries (I used blackberries)
• 2 Tbsp sugar or honey
• 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 pie crust – from the refrigerator section or your own rolling pin
• 1 egg, beaten
• honey
Rinse berries and place in bowl, coat with sugar or honey and add vinegar. Refrigerate for an hour or so, until the berries release some of their juices. Grease or use cooking spray to coat a cookie sheet, place your flattened pie crust in the center. Drain the berries and place them in the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold in the edges of the crust in and pinch together where they overlap. Lastly, brush the top and sides of your unbaked galette with egg. Bake for 40 minutes at 375º or until edges are golden brown. Once done baking, allow to cool on a rack until room temperature. Cute into pieces (serves 4) and either drizzle with honey or top with vanilla ice cream (or both!).
Turkish Bath Towels
Turkish bath towels remind me of summer, plain and simple. They're super light and absorbent and just so colorful and happy looking. You may want to make a note on your wishlist that there's a boat load of reasonably priced ones over in Bath Style's shop. Just in case.

I love that feeling of falling head over heels for a brand. A company that has their shit together on all levels, and who are nothing less than a pleasure to work with. That's Plywerk. I started talking to Garrett about a collaboration on my gallery wall tutorial about three months ago. His attention to detail and premeditating problems was a step above, and his excitement for the project was beyond cool. These were my thoughts before I ever laid eyes on Plywerk's bamboo frames. Afterwards I basically lost the ability to describe my love for these Portlanders and their product.
I swear I could have hung the blanks on my wall as art in their own right, the sustainable wood is some of the prettiest I've ever seen. It's easy to see which ones they are, I love the dimension they lend to my gallery wall. And they're just as nice to look at in profile as straight on. Seriously, compliments one after another on these bad boys.
I used blanks with adhesive, but that's not their biggest and best product. Plywerk actually prints your photo or image onto the panels themselves. Crazy, right? You can read more about both option right here. It was such a great adventure getting to work with these guys, they definitely have the Design Crush seal of approval!

Where would you place your trust when it comes to the security of your child's school? An expert in politics or law enforcement?
Senator Feinstein has reacted to the Sandy Hook massacre with her proposed comprehensive gun control law package to be introduced in January while Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu proposes a change in the "safe school zone" laws to allow for school administrators and designated teachers to be armed to initially defend against any violent attack on their school. Sheriff Babeu also supports assigning a deputy or police officer in every school as proposed by the NRA.
Which one makes the most sense to you? First proposal is Senator Feintein's
Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:
A pdf of the bill summary is available here.
More information on Senator Feinstein's website supporting her upcoming legislation to be introduced in the new congress
Sheriff Paul Babeu's plan
Pinal County, Ariz –Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu proposes a change in the "safe school zone" laws to allow for school administrators and designated teachers to be armed to initially defend against any violent attack on their school. Sheriff Babeu also supports assigning a deputy or police officer in every school as proposed by the NRA.
Sheriff Babeu said, "Much the same way that commercial airline pilots have been trained and armed to defend their aircraft, school administrators and designated teachers would be trained by local law enforcement and armed to protect themselves, other staff and their students. Administrators and teachers are highly educated, they know their schools and love the children. Past efforts to protect innocent children and our schools have resulted in making them more vulnerable and more alluring as targets for mass killings. Restrictive gun laws, or even trying to take guns away from millions of law abiding citizens is unconstitutional and will NOT stop this violence. The immediate reality for every law enforcement leader is how do we best protect our schools, which are not fully protected and are not as safe as they should be in order to be called "safe school zones?"
Sheriff Babeu continued, "The NRA is correct, we need a Cop in every school. We also need to train and arm school administrators and designated teachers to protect themselves and our school children. Even with an officer on campus, some of these schools are quite large. The officer can't be everywhere on campus and having trained and armed administrators and designated teachers could help limit and contain the active shooter. The Deputy or Police Officer should not simply provide armed security, yet should be a School Resource Officer (SRO). SRO's are carefully selected officers who are trained to teach classes, mentor students, building positive relationships with students and staff and are one of the best defenses against an active shooter in a school."
In response to calls for new gun laws, Sheriff Babeu said, "We have a people problem, not a gun problem. The reality is there will be little if any change in gun laws, which is not the solution anyway. We have over 20,000 laws and regulations on firearms, yet none of them prevented these mass killings. Criminals, mentally ill mass killers and terrorists do not follow current law and they certainly will not follow any future laws." Sadly, there is a long history of school shootings in our nation and the "safe school zone act" of 1990 and 1995 have provided mass killers an even more alluring target of unarmed children, teachers and staff. http://www.k12academics.com/school-shootings/history-school-shootings-united-states
Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 defines a school zone as the area "in, or on the grounds of… or within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial or private [elementary or secondary] school."
These mass killers have not shown any inclination to go where defenders with guns may be present. They target safe school zones, movie theaters, college campuses, malls and even military bases. Where ever there are areas where guns are not allowed, the laws abiding good citizens are unarmed and in fact, become ecomemagnets and even sitting targets for any evil mass killers. Even the victims at Ft. Hood were trained with firearms, yet were unarmed during the duty day. That means that they did NOT have any guns with them and the only soldiers that carried that day were the police and the Islamic terrorist, just like any other gun-free zone.
In response to the 9-11 attacks, the TSA was created, the Federal Air Marshals program expanded and deployed on most international and many domestic flights and pilots were also trained and armed to defend their aircraft and passengers. Our school children and staff must also be protected by amending the "Gun-Free Safe School Zones" to allow for armed administrators/designated teachers and to deploy an SRO in every school.

Midwest Living Review
A couple years ago, the New Glarus Brewing Company relocated to a giant, vaguely European-style hilltop brewery just outside town. Partly that was a manufacturing-related decision (more room to make great beer), but it also reflects the popularity of the brewery as a day-trip destination. The parking lot is huge, and many of the folks sipping Belgian Red and Fat Squirrel in the beer garden are young professionals out from Madison for an afternoon drink. Visitors can tour the manufacturing area for free, which accommodates visitors with lots of glass windows and wide hallways, but it's kind of boring because there's almost no signage or explanation of all the equipment you're seeing. A docent is on hand as you enter to answer questions, but it feels like they could have done more to make this an engaging experience. (There is a hard hat tour on Fridays giving visitors a closer look at what goes on here.) Our disappointment faded quickly, though, when we bought our beer sampling tickets ($3.50 for three 3-ounce samples and a souvenir glass) and settled at a picnic table outside, comparing flavors and enjoying sweeping views of the Wisconsin countryside. A gift shop sells an assortment of souvenirs, and a basement-level beer shop makes it easy to take home crates of your favorite brews. Note that the brewery closes at 4 p.m.

On Friday, patrons will be putting on their boots and buttoning up their best denim to celebrate the second Denim and Diamonds fundraiser hosted by the Friends of the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum. Not only will event-goers enjoy the festivities, but they will also honor the 2013 Legends of Past and Present.
This year's legend of the past is Dr. Douglas Conner, and the legends of the present are C.C. Clark, Inc. and Clark Beverage Group, Inc. The honorees were chosen based on their involvement with the Heritage Museum and the community.

It wasn't funny the first time you posted it, it certainly wasn't funny the second time.
That you are willing to insult someone you haven't or ever will meet or even interact with, solely to try and piss me off, says more about your character than it does mine. You are a shallow, pathetic and insignificant nothing of a person. I have no cause to call you ignorant? How about your personally attacks on a woman you know nothing about except for a picture you've seen. You want to talk about ignorance then perhaps you should do so in front of a mirror.
You exist solely in in the 4-5 minutes a day I look at this forum, and even in that time you are nothing more than text on a screen. You're the one getting your panties in a knot while I'm laughing my arse off.
You complain about me waiting in "anticipation of a message board response"? You're awfully quick to reply yourself. Hypocrisy, thy name is riklite. You accuse me of a being a troll, well if that be the case your constant replies to only play into my hands. If you truly believed I was a troll you'd ignore me, but then you're clearly not that smart. By all means carry on replying, every time you do I win.
It's one thing to be interested and want to learn. It's another to spend your every waking moment in anticipation of a message board response so you can call the other person ignorant without cause. If you are so interested in the advancement of the human race, do us all a favor and never mate with that beast you call a girlfriend. The two of you combined would make the turd I just dropped in the toilet look good. Sadly, it probably has more intellegence and people skills as well.
Any more uninformed bullshit you'd like to say or are you done displaying your own ignorance? If you think the advancement of human knowledge is pointless kindly remove yourself from the gene pool and let those of us with a vested interest in learning and standards of education continue not being a dumb fuck like you.
"you're so bigeted that you can't have imagination or faith.. yay, you're an ass hole."
I find it hard to take a lecture from someone who can't spell, also no, I'm not a bigot. I just dislike dishonesty, especially when it's perpetuated by people who claim to have divinely granted absolute morality. Also, I dislike people who want to force schools into teaching bullshit because they think faith is more important that facts.
Nice try though, better luck next time.

Cassandra Epperson, 19-year-old woman from Dover, Delaware, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with an 11-year-old boy she was babysitting for.
Epperson was hired to baby-sit five siblings Aug. 20 while their mother went out for the evening, according to court records. When the 11-year-old boy went to the bathroom Epperson followed him into the bathroom, "pulled down her pants and underwear" and told the boy to do the same. When the boy tried to refuse, Epperson told him that she would "tell his mom," without giving any specifics.
A week later boy told her mother what had happened between him and the baby sitter and the mother contacted police.
Epperson was released on $2,000 secured bail and faces a Sept. 24 hearing on the charges.

Best English Dictionary Apps
Tens of Thousands of Words in Your Pocket
After scouring through tens of pages of dictionaries in the app store from foreign languages, slang, and bibles to medical, law, and pranks (yes, pranks), I've decided that the app store is in no dictionary shortage crisis at the moment. Let this AppGuide lead you in the right direction as to what English language dictionary will serve you, your situation, and your iDevice the best.
Essential Apps
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition
by Paragon Technologie GmbH
Merriam-Webster has been a household name for decades, whether you use dictionaries or not. This universal app for the iPhone and iPad doesn't disappoint with its 225,000 definitions and audio pronunciations from native English speakers. No Internet connection is required, just download and you have everything you need wherever you are. Hyperlinks are supported between articles, and it supports a search history for the last 100 entries that can be cleared if desired. Don't want to shell out the dough for this one? Check out the link to the free, ad-supported version below.
Ninjawords Dictionary
by Matchstick Software
Ninjawords Dictionary is built upon three ninja facts: they are smart, fast, and deadly accurate. Three other things this app boasts are freshness, high quality, and ease of use. Words all stay on the same page while looking them up, avoiding flipping back and forth through page after page. Other features include recents, favorites, a thesaurus, and pronunciations.
WordBook - English Dictionary and Thesaurus
by TranCreative Software
WordBook English Dictionary has been the top-selling English dictionary on the app store since 2008, and made the top 15 Best iPhone Apps for English Majors list from CollegeTimes.us. But you don't have to be an English major to use and enjoy this dictionary. Others will find the 150,000 entries, 220,000 definitions, and 70,000 usage samples of great benefit. Things like word of the day, bookmarks, a built-in thesaurus, and browser-like definition content navigation has made this app one to have on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
American Heritage® Dictionary — 4th Edition (AHD4) - powered by UniDict®
by Enfour, Inc.
Ditch that seven-and-a-half pound monstrosity in favor of this version, which weighs as much as your iDevice does. American Heritage Dictionary includes all 2,074 pages and almost 300,000 terms in this big boy, all in your pocket. American Heritage also includes over 64,000 sound files for extra clarity. This dictionary also features external linking, internal hyperlinking, zoomable graphics, automatic search history, and real-time progressive lookup. Welcome to your new digital dictionary.
Notable Apps
WordWeb Dictionary
by WordWeb Software
This universal app for both iPhone and iPad is free, and it includes 285,000 words, 225,000 word sense definitions, 70,000 usage examples, 85,000 text pronunciations, and tons of other features. WordWeb Dictionary rivals other dictionaries that cost lots of money, so give this one a shot.
by xyster.net
This dictionary has all of the same features of the others with some notable exceptions. First, Dictionary has high quality Text-to-Speech capabilities so you can pronounce definitions out loud to sound intelligent. Secondly, it has over 2,000 illustrations for more than 4,000 terms including maps and national flags for most countries. It has a respectable amount of definitions and a Word Shake feature that lets you shake your phone to learn new words and definitions.
Dictionary.com Dictionary & Thesaurus
by Dictionary.com, LLC
My personal choice of dictionary, Dictionary.com boasts over a million words and definitions and 90,000 synonyms and antonyms. In fact, it has so many words that this app takes several minutes to download over a Wi-Fi connection, so the developers recommend installing over a wired connection first. However, when downloaded, everything runs ultra smoothly and no lag is noticeable. Cool features that make me like Dictionary.com are its example sentences, alphabetical indexing, similarly spelled words, phonetic and audio pronunciations, and a dictionary/thesaurus combo. Me likey.
Audio Cambridge Dictionary of American English
by Mobile Systems
Cambridge Dictionary is similar to many other dictionary apps in the App Store. It has standard definitions, a thesaurus, spoken pronunciations, use cases for words and usage notes. Cambridge Dictionary also supports offline mode and other small features such as bookmarking definitions. While not bringing enough to the table to justify its high price, this dictionary does work well and is pretty stable as well. Overall, a decent option for those who are looking for a Dictionary app on their iDevice.
Concise English Dictionary & Thesaurus
by jDictionary Mobile
Nothing gives you more peace of mind than a dictionary that has the word "concise" in its name. The same guy that developed the award-winning English Dictionary for Blackberry and Symbian developed Concise English Dictionary & Thesaurus. It features fast, reliable, easy-to-use, and up-to-date information that premium dictionaries don't even have. CED includes biographical and geographical data, scientific terms and data, and lots more. Also check out jDictionary Mobile's sister app Advanced English Dictionary & Thesaurus.
Collins English Dictionary Unabridged
by Mobile Systems
This dictionary is intended for grades 12+ and general business users. It is stuffed full of over 500,000 words, and also covers world, regional, and dialect English. Collins English Dictionary Unabridged includes the latest vocabulary based on their database of over 2.5 billion words that is constantly updated. Three filters help searching for words a breeze, like the Fuzzy filter used if you're not sure of the spelling of a word, the Keyword search to locate instances of a key word within compound words, and a Wild Card search using symbols like a question mark and an asterisk to replace letters of certain words or groups of letters.
Webster's New World Dictionary
by AcroDesign Technologies
This dictionary is very well recognized and is the official dictionary of the Associated Press, if that holds any water for you. It has an average amount of words and definitions in a small database of 10MB, so it's speedy. The one thing this dictionary lacks is the etymology from the print edition. If that were a deal-breaker, then I would avoid this one. Otherwise, go download it!
Decent Apps
by Catlin Software, LLC
This dictionary app has 200,000 definitions, an advanced spell check, and short, simple definitions, unless you have an Internet connection, in which case you will have access to longer and more detailed definitions. This app is free with the option of purchasing the full version inside the app for ad-free searching.
English Dictionary and Thesaurus with Verbs
by Ultralingua, Inc.
You have to appreciate a developer who takes the time to make their app universal to iPhone and iPad, and that's exactly what Ultralingua has done with this dictionary app. Enjoy all the usual aspects of a great dictionary plus a number tool that automatically converts numbers to text, a search-as-you-type tool, a search history that holds that last 50 searches automatically, and a verb tool that conjugates thousands of regular and irregular verbs into standard tenses.
Longman Advanced American Dictionary (with audio)
by Pearson Education
This Longman Advanced American Dictionary app has your expected features of any standard dictionary, but has two versions: one with audio and one without. The difference? Besides the obvious audio definitions, there is a whopping 135 MB difference in file size. That is huge. The storage space of your iDevice may determine which one you go with.

SWINE Flu Vaccines Recalled
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 at 1:41 pm in Health & Safety.
Oh lovely. Some 800,000 pre-filled swine flu vaccine syringes, destined for babies and tots' chubby little shoulders, have been recalled. Don't get too worried. There's nothing wrong or harmful about them, but federal health officials say they're issuing the recall because the vaccine is not retaining its full strength – they think perhaps the active agent in them is sticking to the inside of the syringe. Read the full story here…
