This fit perfectly. Just be sure you have it placed right before you let it stick on. If you have to peel it off, it starts to stretch. My Nook is now beautifully sleek.Published on January 29, 2013 by hmamabear
This skin is very pretty. Only giving it 4 stars, because I haven't put it on my tablet yet. I have a 7in android, not a noble nook it is advertised for, but the size looks good. Read morePublished on June 12, 2012 by Ann from Mass
This is cute and very easy to put on, it's just a thick sticker. I like that it makes my Nook Tablet not so boring looking and it gives it a little texture to hold on to it. Read morePublished on March 20, 2012 by Megan

It would be interesting to know how a company recently donated $1,050,000 to the county and city of Fayette but could not give their employees a cost of living raise this year because of economic situations that money was not available. It sounds fishy to me.

The Sept. 11 Commission has always been very vocal anytime that Bush has not supported any of their proposals. Yet they have been very silent about Congress blocking reauthorization of the Patriot Act. I wonder why?

Dungeon Siege, made entirely for a console, and then thrown at the PC at the last minute. Rent first; you MIGHT like it.
There's the "[E] is for [E]verything" key - See that door? E it. Through that door you see a chest... E it. Item flies out of the barrel on to the floor... E it. You can't hover your mouse over to highlight and interact with items - of course not. Consoles don't have pointers, and so PC's can't either. Even the UI for accessing your inventory etc. is entirely focused on console controls - no nice mouse controls.
Camera control is terrible and very limited, with annoying and restrictive controls.
Characters are pre-created - you can't design your own custom character... you're given a tiny handful of characters you get to play as, and that's who you are.
Combat feels entirely 'action based', zero 'rpg-ness' at all. Even Diablo had more depth to it's combat than this.
The levels and story are extremely linear and controlling - there's no sandboxing, free-roaming, or roleplaying to be had here.
All in all, a huge disappointment. That's not to say nobody will like this - I know some people will love a simple action game with nothing mere suggestions of fantasy RPG, in which case this is probably right up your street. Anyone else though - I'd suggest you watch some gameplay videos and try it out first.

TOP STORY: Off-duty ICE deputy field office director saves family from car wreck
Shards of glass still lodged in his hands and a throbbing pain in his shoulder, Chris Cronen sat in a hospital emergency room the evening of March 9 a hero.
Cronen, the executive deputy assistant director for the Office of Firearms & Tactical Programs with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is temporarily assigned as the acting deputy field office director for New England. His new post brought him to a suburb of Boston earlier this year after a 5-year tour at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Exploring his new surroundings on a weekend trip through New England, Cronen exited the Bedford, N.H., Toll Plaza and came across a mangled SUV lying on its passenger side. As one of the first responders on the scene, Cronen heard two young boys crying out for help and immediately sprang into action with years of ICE tactical medical training under his belt.
Assisted by fellow bystanders including three military servicemen, the responders were able to remove two children from the wreck before hearing someone shout from the other side of the vehicle that the car was on fire.
After directing onlookers to find fire extinguishers, Cronen ran back to the SUV and began peeling back the shattered windshield with his bare hands. Unable to fully dislodge the broken glass, he managed to locate the unconscious driver who was still strapped to his seat, upside-down and bleeding. After hearing yet another call that the vehicle was on fire, he ripped the sunroof off by pulling it backward until it snapped. With no time to spare, Cronen partially crawled into the vehicle and released the man's seat belt, sliding the driver into his arms.
With the assistance of the airmen, they were able to pull the man a safe distance from the vehicle and begin an initial medical assessment of the driver.
Cronen wasted no time providing a clear and concise assessment of the situation when the first emergency vehicle arrived, urging the responder to radio in for more ambulances. As more ambulances arrived and the situation was under control, he quietly handed his card to police and drove off.
A trained Navy Corpsman, Cronen decided to go for a quick trip to the local ER that night as a precaution, rounding out a very unexpected weekend getaway to the Granite State.
Undoubtedly, Cronen's deft action saved lives. The story quickly spread across ICE, leading the new Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to call and commend Cronen for his bravery.
He deflects much of the praise he's received, and remains focused on finding the identity of his fellow responders. He repeatedly said that if it weren't for the servicemen, "things could have turned out very differently."

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47)
Accounting Tutorial
The Financial Accounting Standards Board published Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," on March 31, 2005. The interpretation clarifies the term conditional asset obligation used in FASB Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." According to the interpretation, a conditional asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform the asset retirement activity.
In general, FASB believes that when an obligation meets the definition of a liability, it should be recognized. To the extent long lived assets contain hazardous substances (as determined and defined by federal legislation, e.g. asbestos, lead, etc.) - organizations have a legal obligation and consequently accounting liability related to those assets. The liability is termed "Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation" (CARO). FIN 47 defines CARO and clarifies the FASB's belief that SFAS 143 applies to CAROs.
The interpretation represents a relatively recent change in thought from FASB's earlier statements—most notably FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," which required an entity to consider uncertainty in its determination of whether to recognize a liability. However, if the obligations are not measurable with sufficient reliability, the institution's financial statements must disclose (a) a description of the obligation, (b) the fact that a liability has not been recognized because the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, and (c) the reasons why fair value cannot be reasonably estimated.
The interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 -- typically fiscal 2006 for colleges and universities.

Just throw away your schoolbooks – the true story of Amsterdam gets told here! What started off as a Frisian settlement on a terp a LONG time ago, now changed into the international city Amsterdam is these days. As we all know, these days not Frisian but English is the language that matters the most in this exiting city. English opens the doors for you in Amsterdam. Dutch is relevant for connecting to the Dutch speakers more than anything else. So for playtime, we use English.
Almost every adult in Amsterdam talks English, but lots of people in Amsterdam also talk Dutch. This used to be the most important language in this city until some years ago. Dutch, of course, still is the language in public administration and basic education. For REALLY understanding this city you still need Dutch.
And... One more thing. "Amsterdam", "Friesland", "Rotterdam", they have something in common: all of these cities and nations are BIGGER than "Holland". Therefor, in Amsterdam we just talk any language we feel like! No one tells us what to do - because Amsterdam is one of the leading cities not just in The Netherlands or the European Union, not just on the planet or the solar system - no - Amsterdam has universal dimensions - it's a small but VERY bright star on the map of cities!
For all of these reasons, this group is VERY bilingual. Which is fun! And FUN is the thing that matters the most in the group! Our citywalks, our educational events, our parties, our just drinks meetups, our daytrips and our dinners, they ALL have ONE thing in common: they are fun! Already convinced?
Then don't hesitate – and just sign up!
* * *
* * *
In this group we will just enjoy walking on the center of the path to the future of Amsterdam - in a fun way! This Culti Mokum Meetup is the semi Dutch part of the Culti Group Meetup.
Not covinced yet? Well, than maybe read the history of Amsterdam right here. If after this you are not convinced yet than maybe it needs a bit more time :)
Get it right :)

For the last several years, the Optic has presented its New Year's wishes for our community. Next year, our community will experience its share of progress and setbacks. We can't predict them, but we have our hopes for 2010:
The City Council has unanimously rejected a proposal by Mayor Tony Marquez to open each meeting with an invocation, and rightfully so. There is no legal basis for including prayer at public meetings; there is, in fact, a legal basis to prohibit it. Thankfully the City Council has the good sense to reject this second attempt to inject religion into the public square.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse — or so the authorities like to tell us. But I think ignorance may be a good excuse in Las Vegas.
After all, we don't have easy access to the ordinances that govern us.
Many cities have ordinances available at their libraries or city halls. Not Las Vegas.
Some municipalities actually have their laws online. Not Las Vegas.
I'm just writing to thank and praise Mr. Carlos Crespin and New Mexico State Silver Gloves committee for bringing the tournament to Las Vegas. Not only does it bring the up and rising boxing stars to the community but it also gives Las Vegas a little economic boost right before the holidays. Families from around the state and from out of state get to travel to Las Vegas and enjoy the amenities.
I understand the editorial (titled "Blaming the messenger"). However the Optic, on occasion, does seem to be very negative about Las Vegas in its coverage and editorials. For folks who read the paper because they visit Las Vegas, it does not come across as friendly. Especially if the paper and visits to town are the only way we interact with the citizens of Las Vegas.
When it comes to economic development, Las Vegas needs to put forward a united front. Anything less is unacceptable.
Recently, the Las Vegas First Independent Business Alliance told the city Lodgers Tax Advisory Board that it is interested in vying for the city contract held by the Las Vegas-San Miguel Chamber of Commerce. It made arguments about how it could take on that role — its marketing plan in place, its relationships with various agencies, its securing of discounted rates for the placement of advertisements.
Luna Community College has suffered its share of allegations involving sexual harassment over the years.
Now the college is proposing a policy in which any employee who witnesses harassment is required to report it to the proper officials. No excuses.
This would be an important step for Luna to show that it takes harassment seriously. It would turn the page from an unfortunate history.
We hope the Board of Trustees approves this proposed policy change.
By the time you read this, I'll be either sleeping or sleepless in Seattle -- seriously! My daughter, Ileana, sent me a ticket for a holiday getaway.
Nevertheless, it's the season -- however one wants to categorize it; the time to wish you all season's greetings --Shalom, Joyeaux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Fröhliche Weihnachten, Mele Kalikimaka, oh, yeah, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc. And I do.

Youth Ministry Lessons: One might think that it takes an intense personal trainer screaming in your face to make a difference. For one young man, however, he found the motivation within himself to drop over 130 pounds.
Youth Ministry Lessons: For many teens trying to live the straight and narrow, it can be difficult. But in one town, students, educators and members of the community have come together to offer teenagers a helping hand.
Youth Ministry Lessons: When affluent nations enjoy the benefits of new drugs, they don't realize that the research of the drugs comes at the expense of the world's most desperate people. Pfizer, is under attack for a drug trial performed on meningitis sufferers in Nigeria.
As obesity rates keep rising, it seems like everyone has an opinion on what the average American should be eating, how much they should be eating and when they should be eating it.
Youth Ministry Lessons: More than 1 billion people around the world live on less than $1 a day. A staggering figure considering that amount is often used to feed families of four, five or more people. People around the world are starving while others live in abundance.
Youth Group Lessons: In a recent study looking at teenage girls and boys from vulnerable backgrounds, the results showed one thing: emotional and sexual abuse is so common that those abused don't even consider it a crime.
Youth Ministry Lessons: For many Christians the advances of modern medicine are embraced. Conversely, however, there is a vein of Christianity that shuns professional medical attention and chooses to operate strictly from a faith healing perspective.

A small store front - opens into a heck of a museum. A was totally surprised to find three floors of museum quality artifacts. On the first floor has a number of exhibits regarding the history of the Lynden area - including logging, military, some Dutch history in the area. Going to the basement a large amount of wagons - from the very small to large delivery wagons - a 1912 thrasher with a steam tractor - some cars - small engines - more then a person absorb. Back up to the first floor in a replica dinner and then a number of shops including a church, funeral parlor, depot (with railroad history). The third floor continues the stores exhibits - you name the store they have a historical exhibits showing items that relate to that type of store. The circus train exhibit seems a bit out of place in a historical museum.

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - John Tavares netted a pair of third-period goals and picked up two assists as the New York Islanders rallied from a two- goal deficit to beat Boston, 5-3, at TD Garden.
Frans Nielsen tallied twice and Kyle Okposo added a goal and two helpers for the Islanders, who have won two in a row for the first time since Nov. 1-2.
"We found a way to win tonight and the power play came up huge," Okposo said. "We made good plays, got back to out-manning guys, moved [the puck] around and didn't force anything. When they were tired, we capitalized."
Thomas Vanek and Andrew McDonald each contributed two assists to back a 35-save effort by Evgeni Nabokov.
David Krejci, Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille provided offense for the Bruins, who hadn't dropped two straight in regulation since Oct. 26-30.
Tuukka Rask was on the hook for all five goals on 31 shots.
Nielsen began the comeback and pulled the visitors back within a goal, as he flipped a puck that deflected off Zdeno Chara's skate in the slot off the left post and in with 3 1/2 minutes to play in the second period.
New York tied it on a late advantage created when Rask flipped the puck out of the rink. A centering feed to the right of the Boston net from Okposo caromed off Brad Marchand's skate and in with less than three seconds left.
Tavares knocked a puck out of mid-air from along the goal line to the right of Rask to give the Islanders a 4-3 edge at the 32-second mark of the third.
It was 5-3 for the visitors with 6:43 remaining, when Tavares ripped one home from the left circle in the early part of a power play.
Rask was sharp to stop a short-handed breakaway by Michael Grabner as the clock ticked down to four minutes remaining and the visitors kept their composure in the final minute to come away victorious.
"I think when we took the 3-1 lead, we kind of relaxed and they came back hard and they kind of got the momentum back and we couldn't regain it," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien.
Krejci opened the scoring 4:25 after the opening faceoff by batting home the rebound of Jarome Iginla's initial chance.
Nielsen evened the score, beating Rask through a Vanek screen at 5:56 of the second while Bruins defenseman Matt Bartkowski sat for a holding minor.
Boston then went up by two thanks to scores only 25 seconds apart later in the period.
Bergeron beat Nabokov from the high slot on the advantage at 12:33, then Chara's floater from the left point sailed under the crossbar at 12:58.
The Bruins had their eight-game win streak at home snapped, which began with a
3-2 overtime decision against Carolina on Nov. 23 ... Boston forward Milan
Lucic exited the contest after being given minors for boarding an
unsportsmanlike conduct, along with a misconduct at the 16:03 mark of the
third period ... The Bruins begin 2014 by hosting Nashville on Thursday, while
the Islanders entertain the Blackhawks two days from now.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

good location, made to feel welcomePosted Sep 11, 2014
Pros: Friendly, courteous staff.
Cons: T.V in room, carpet a little grubby.
Location: good location. Ironbridge museums, town itself(priory) and Ludlow.
Under new management, but many improvements have already been made. Good location in this pretty small town. Had a good nights sleep here as very quiet off the main roads through Wenlock. Had an evening meal here that was well presented, good ingredients and very generous portions, and very reasonable.Made to feel most welcome, and would revisit if was in the area.

Comfortable B B in historic Much WenlockPosted Aug 10, 2014
Pros: The bedroom and on-suite are a good size. The room was clean with comfortable beds and ample storage. Breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent
Cons: The hot water supply to the shower and the TV controls were a little temperamental and need addressing. The availability of wifi would be a bonus
Location: Much Wenlock is a quaint market town. Close by are Benthall Hall and Stokesay Castle, other historic properties and towns and beautiful countryside.
Spent two nights at the Fox Inn. We used it as a the base for a mini break encompassing visit to some of the local National Trust and English Heritage properties in the area. The Inn has recently been taken over by Sarah, Mick and family. They are a very friendly team committed to making our stay as comfortable as possible. We were looking for a reasonably priced comfortably B B base for our trip and the Fox certainly lived up to our expectations.

Well worth a visitPosted Jun 18, 2013 on Hotels
Excellent food and very friendly service made for a relaxing and enjoyable couple of nights. Our twin room was on the ground floor with a window onto the street, so needed the blinds kept closed, for privacy. A bigger side window would allow more natural light in and so make it brighter. I think I would opt for one of the doubles mext time.Our meals, (one e vening meal and both breakfasts), were really good and the service was attentive without being intrusive.Very welcoming, highly recommended.
