If Apple follows its usual script, we'll be getting new iPhones in September. Here's what to expect.
Pricing not available
The iPhone 6 Plus is an outstanding choice for those with big budgets and big pockets, but power users seeking even more flexibility should audition the Galaxy Note 4 as well.
While we'd like to see it cost a little less, Sennheiser has fixed the original Momentum's one weakness, making the new 2.0 Momentum not only sound slightly better but fit more comfortably.
The bottom line.
For rating and flagging photos already in Lightroom while you're killing time or for quick, rough edits, it's good. But the phone version of Lightroom mobile needs more features before it feels essential.
Pricing not available
This iPhone 6 case has a solar panel built in for backup battery juice.
The $60 Reach79 case is designed to boost the signal of your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, by a factor of two, according to its maker.
Looking for even more battery life on your new iPhone? Mophie's come to the rescue.
The $99 Typo Keyboard case adds a credible physical keyboard to the iPhone 6, but losing access Touch ID sensor makes it a tough trade-off.
If you want your phone camera's add-on lens to make a fashion statement as well as a photographic one, Moments' lenses make the grade. Be sure you've considered the tradeoffs, though, like price.

Re: Switching to regular plan from Data?
I don't pay for the $45 data plan from Verizon. Way to expensive. I use Wifi anyway and I'm usually near a computer. I can plug the phone to a computer using a data/charging cable that I bought, and as it's connected, the phone will browse the internet via my PC's connection.

Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva will be suspended for the next two games following an altercation with the referee during his side's 1-1 draw with Valenciennes at the weekend. The Brazilian saw red after he shoved Alexandre Castro two minutes before the interval and the LFP have ruled that he will now miss the upcoming matches against Lyon and Brest. With three matches left, PSG top Ligue 1, seven points clear of second-placed Marseille, and they will hope to have the title wrapped up when Silva returns for the final game against Lorient. The fate of PSG sporting director Leonardo has yet to be decided. Leonardo is alleged to have pushed the official after the game and the committee will decide what punishment, if any, he will receive at a later date. He has been suspended as a precautionary measure "due to the seriousness of the offence" and will not be allowed in the dressing room at Lyon next Sunday, the LFP said. Leonardo insists he was pushed into the referee in ...

A 1000k to Barcelona
We left early from Granada wanting to avoid the parade for Semana Sentima, beautiful sunshine, perfect riding conditions.
A closer look at the windmills.
The mountainous region of southern inland Spain was just amazing, and the sun was shining, the twisties were challenging but not death defying, it was perfect.
A small village nestled on the mountain slope.
Spain's largest dam.
The plan is to only make one overnight stop along the way. A 1000 km is really not that much, we have taken much longer rides but, since we want to again avoid the superslab as much as possible.
We hugged the coast all the way to Barcelona, going through Almeria, where we stopped for breakfast. We found a lady that was making churros, and we over-indulged. I must have gotten a bit excited at the thought of breakfast because I made a slow speed U-turn, and ST answered back by laying on its side, no harm done thanks to clever Honda engineering and the well positioned wing-tips (pisses me off
though, this was drop number 2).
Then we headed north to Murcia, the coast line was beautiful, this was our first glanced at the Med that we would follow completely around all the way to Sicily.
We zoomed by Alicante and Benidorm. Once you have been to California, seen the Florida beaches, flown to the Caribbean and Hawaii, Dove in the warm water of Fiji and Australia, Benidorm is just the European version of Waikiki: Outrageously expensive shop and a miniature beach overshadowed by high-rises. At least in Hawaii you can escape to the north shore.
Needless to say we did not stop long. The road along the coast was marvelous, lots of twisties and very little traffic.
Valencia, where we saw very modern architecture, very cool buildings.
Midway between Valencia and Barcelona, we stopped in Amposta. We spent the night in a road side motel, slept poorly, it was hot and there was no screens on the windows, so we got devoured by Spanish mosquitos.
Let's blow this popsicle stand.
Barcelona here we come.
I'll tell you all about it tomorrow...

Dr. Paul Kogan's Ratings
I saw Dr. Kogan because a few years earlier another endodontist had botched a root canal (forgetting to clean out the second root), causing the tooth to become inflamed. Dr. Kogan openly explained my options to me. I chose to have the root canal redone, but Dr. Kogan very quickly realized that he could not go through the crown build-up and had to operate through the gums. During surgery both he and his staff made me feel comfortable, and I could see that he treated not only his patients with respect, but his assistants as well. After the surgery it took the wound longer than expected to heal, forcing him to redo the stitches. He did it patiently and explained every step along the way. I truly felt I was in good hands.

Dr. Kogan did a root canal for me. He was gentle, caring and knowledgeable. The root canal was very easy for me. When my son needed one I insisted on Dr. Kogan again. It was the right choice. Before Dr. Kogan finished the procedure, he took an x-ray to make sure it looked right. My son had an anomaly, that tooth usually had just 2 roots, my son's had 3. My dentist's office confirmed this. Most dentists would have missed that 3rd root. I hope to not have to have anymore done, but I wouldn't want to go to anyone else. The staff is friendly and professional.

PN Alerce Andino - Entrance "Correntoso"
Favorite thing: You can reach the northwestern entrance of PN Alerce Andino (Correntoso Entrance) coming from Puerto Montt or Puerto Varas by taking a bus to Correntoso (45 min drive).
Leave the bus and turn right through the village, until you reach a bridge with a beautiful little waterfall.
Turn right here, pass the campamento Pangal and the CONAF / Park general office.
Then, it's a gravel road of approx. 7 km until the park's entrance gate "Correntoso".
But don't worry - usually there is traffic (timber industry), and hitchhiking is not a problem.
At the park entrance, you can grab water, register, talk with the guaradaria people, who are very helpful for any question you might have.
No entrance fee.
- Jungle and Rain Forest
- Backpacking
- Hiking and Walking
Hike only in waterproof boots - mud is everywhere
Favorite thing: The park is beautiful - but mud is also nearly everywhere.
Make sure, your boots are waterproof (I have full leather boots). They don't not prevent the feet from getting wet - but they surely prevent them from getting SOAKED :-)
The trail part where the picture was taken was a little muddy area, but with the dead wood and the trekking poles it was at least possible to step more or less safe through it :-)
- Hiking and Walking
- Backpacking
- Jungle and Rain Forest
Map of PN Alerce Andino
Favorite thing: The park has two major entrances. Probably the most frequented one is the northwestern entrance "Sector Correntoso".
Fondest memory: Map has been taken from this website:
(for more information on the park and it's facilities please check out the site)
- Backpacking
- Hiking and Walking
- Jungle and Rain Forest
Use rainproof gear !!
Favorite thing: Rainforest means rain.
And PN Alerce Andino has a lot of it :-)
Make sure, you have rainproof gear with you when trekking into it's deeper areas.
Gaitors and a rainjacket are a must !
If you take a closer look at the picture, you'll see that even the gaitors don't prevent the upper parts of the trousers of becoming muddy :-)
- Jungle and Rain Forest
- Backpacking
- Hiking and Walking
Trekking poles should also be a must :-)
Favorite thing: The park is full of fallen trunks - so a certain balance feeling is neccesary to climb over them. Trekking poles are a must - they make balancing much easier, and help to find out how deep the mud or the water to cross is along the trails.
This picture was taken on the way back from Laguna Fría, and the trunks were extremely slippery ;-(

All my OB said to do was fast after midnight. My test is at 8 the next morning. So, that would leave 8 hours of not eating until the first draw.
However, online I have read that people have been instructed not to eat as many as 14 hours (I also see a lot of 12 hours) before.
I have also read people have been told to eat more carbs for three days before the test.
I do NOT want to fail this. And, want to make sure to prepare correctly. My OB is kind of laid back and I get a bit worried that I don't get ALL the info. I think this happened with the hour one I took, and I do not want to fail this one. Any advice or input from you and what YOUR doc said would be great!

Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the Worldby Margaret MacMillan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize
Winner of the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize
Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize
Between January and July 1919, after "the war to end all wars," men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam.
For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews.
The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War.
A landmark work of narrative history, Paris 1919 is the first full-scale treatment of the Peace Conference in more than twenty-five years. It offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were created—Iraq, Yugoslavia, Israel—whose troubles haunt us still.
From the Hardcover edition.
Describes the six months following the end of the First World War when leaders of the great powers, as well as men and women from all over the world, all with their own agendas, converged on Paris to shape the peace, including Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau, T. E. Lawrence, Churchill, W. E. B. Dubois, and others. Reprint. 75,000 first printing.
Margaret MacMillan received her Ph.D. from Oxford University and is provost of Trinity College and professor of history at the University of Toronto. Her previous books include Women of the Raj and Canada and NATO. Published as Peacemakers in England, Paris 1919 was a bestseller chosen by Roy Jenkins as his favorite book of the year. It won the Samuel Johnson Prize, the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize, and the Duff Cooper Prize and was a finalist for the Westminster Medal in Military Literature. MacMillan, the great-granddaughter of David Lloyd George, lives in Toronto.

H&R Closes $175 Million Senior Unsecured Debenture Financing09:27 EDT Thursday, April 05, 2012/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW./TORONTO, April 5, 2012 /CNW/ - H&R Real Estate Investment Trust ("H&R REIT") (TSX: HR.UN; HR.DB; HR.DB.B; HR.DB.C; HR.DB.D; HR.DB.E) announced today that it closed its previously announced offering of $175 million principal amount of 4.45% Series F Senior Debentures due March 2, 2020 (the "Debentures"). H&R REIT had previously agreed to sell the Debentures to a syndicate of underwriters co-led by RBC Capital Markets and CIBC, on a bought deal basis. The net proceeds from the offering of the Debentures will be utilized by H&R REIT to repay outstanding indebtedness incurred under existing credit facilities thereby enabling H&R REIT to have greater financial capacity to pursue future acquisitions and developments, and otherwise for general trust purposes.Forward-looking StatementsCertain statements in this news release contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (also known as forward-looking statements). Such forward-looking statements reflect H&R REIT's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on H&R REIT's estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in H&R REIT's materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time, which could cause the actual results and performance of H&R REIT to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this news release. Those risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to: the business of H&R REIT (real property ownership; credit risk and tenant concentration; financing credit risk; interest rate and other debt-related risks; construction; liquidity; development of the Bow; lease rollovers; currency; environmental matters; co-ownership interest in properties; influence of the property manager over H&R REIT; failure to complete acquisitions; competition for real property investments; dependence on key personnel; and potential conflicts of interest) and securities of H&R REIT (prices of H&R REIT securities; availability of cash for distributions; credit ratings; ability to access capital markets; tax; dilution; Unitholder liability; the right to redeem units; uncoupling of stapled units; investment eligibility of stapled units; debentures issued by H&R REIT; and statutory remedies available to unitholders). Material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out in the forward-looking statements include that the general economy is stable; local real estate conditions are stable; interest rates are relatively stable; and equity and debt markets continue to provide access to capital. H&R REIT cautions that this list of factors is not exhaustive. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what H&R REIT believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

One year on from the Keogh inquiry, what has changed at Queen's?
Posted: July 28, 2014|
AFTER the dust had settled at Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust following the damning Keogh report, chief executive Helen Ashley admitted she knew there had been problems within the organisation.
At the time, she insisted the findings of the Keogh panel had galvanised the senior team into making changes within the organisation, assuring the public that she was the right person to lead it to success.
But as a new report finds the hospital is still failing – one of only five in the UK to be doing so – the concerned people of Burton are rightly asking what change has taken place.
The latest investigation by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) came across areas of major concern in surgery, critical care, end-of-life care and, worryingly, services for children and young people. Medical services were classed as inadequate by the people who reviewed Queen's.
The Belvedere Road site was not operating at an acceptable level in seven out of eight areas when inspectors visited in April and May – 12 months after the Keogh panel investigated higher-then-expected mortality rates within the trust.
The good news is that mortality levels have now dropped – a fact praised by inspectors. They also spoke highly of the contribution of friendly, knowledgeable and caring staff, and an excellent maternity service.
But in terms of the way the organisation is run, there were real concerns – and the issues remain similar to those raised last year. Under the category 'well-led', the trust was classed as 'requires improvement'.
"Action was not always taken to ensure staffing was in line with national guidelines," the report said.
Services for children was one of the biggest areas in the report, with the CQC commenting on provision in the accident and emergency department and across the hospital.
"We had multiple concerns regarding children's safety which were not seen as a priority. Not all staff had completed the appropriate level of safeguarding training; some staff were delivering care to children without having an appropriate level of knowledge," inspectors said in their write-up.
Some of these issues were not raised by the Keogh panel, who gave the organisation 47 points to action 12 months ago. While most were considered to have been done, 16 have not been addressed.
Staffing levels were still a problem, as the trust relies heavily on agency and bank staff to fill nursing vacancies.
Inspectors also noted a continuing failure to learn from mistakes. Furthermore, there was a lack of responsibility for risks. For example, staff in the intensive care unit said they were aware of the risks around the fact there was not an isolation room, yet nothing had been done.
There were also risks at the acute assessment centre, opened in a blaze of glory last year.
Communication remains a problem for the trust, though improvements have been made. Patients still report they do not know what is happening with their care. More than 40 per cent of people who made complaints did not receive a response within the target time.
The top team at Queen's has faced a barrage of criticism in recent years, forcing Mrs Ashley to defend her position time and time again.
Another Keogh chief executive, at a trust in Lancashire, stepped down after facing similar levels of vitriol – and a second poor report from the CQC. There have been no suggestion of that course of action in Burton, but if the site continues to fail questions will inevitably be asked.

With one swing of the bat, Sean Rodriguez sent a two-run shot over the Green Monster, and once again, the "heart attack kids" scraped out another victory, this time in the 9th inning.
The game initially started out as if it would transpire into a pitcher's dual for the second night in a row, but Clay Buchholz was tagged for the game's first run in the fourth, when Ben Zobrist grounded home Matt Joyce. Will Rhymes singled home Rodriguez in the 7th inning, and with the way Jeremy Hellickson was pitching, it looked like two could be the magic number. But Adrian Gonzalez, who has really been underproducing thus far, woke up in the seventh, pelting a three-run homer not more than six feet from the foul poll on the Monster.
With the Rays down a run, it was time to start a rally, but Franklin Morales shut down the Rays in the eighth. After Zobrist was walked by closer Alfredo Aceves to lead off the 9th, Sean Rodriguez decided it was his time to be the late-inning hero, taking Aceves' pitch over the Monster, and giving the Rays the two runs they needed to win the series.
Fernando Rodney needed to prove that last night was just a fluke, and took the mound in a save situation; he got Saltalamacchia and Punto to groundout to short, and got Daniel Nava to whiff, securing his 16th save this season.
Heated words coming from both team's skippers were making more headlines than their teams' play, so it was nice to be able to focus on the game rather than the drama surrounding this young-but-heated rivalry. Matt Joyce has come into his own, and appears to be the team-leader replacement for Evan Longoria, who is still on the disabled-list. Joyce is hitting .290, with a team-high .552 slugging percentage, and on on-base percentage of .405 (also leading the team). Will Rhymes was a perfect 3 for 3, while Sean Rodriguez and Matt Joyce had two hits each.
The Rays are now tied with Baltimore—who lost 4-2 to Kansas City at home yesterday—for 1st in the divison, and are 3.5 games ahead of the Yankees—who won 2-0 in Oakland yesterday. The Red Sox are now 5.5 games behind, and remain in the division cellar.
Notables from Sunday's game:
- J. Hellickson: 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K through 7.2 IP. ERA now 2.83.
- M. Joyce: 2-3, 2B, R, RBI
- S. Rodriguez: 2-4, 2B, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI
- W. Rhymes: 3-3, RBI
Rays news and notes:
- The Rays return home tomorrow night, starting a three game series against the Chicago White Sox. Chris Sale (5-2, 2.50 ERA) takes the mound for the White Sox, as Matt Moore (1-4, 5.07) looks to finally turn his season around.
- Luke Scott stole a base in consecutive games for the first time in his career.
- Minor league update: Brandon Allen (right quad strain)—who is eligible to join the Rays whenever ready—is now batting .242 (8-for-33) after going 2-4 yesterday with Class- A+ Charlotte. Hideki Matsui raised his average to .178 (8-for-45) after going 1-4 with Durham last night. Jose Lobaton (sore throwing shoulder) went 1-3 in his fourth game with the Bulls on Sunday, and is eligible to rejoin the Rays when ready.

I concur with people's recommendations of VVVVVV, To the Moon, and Puzzle Agent. Botanicula is great, although I prefer the game that preceded it (made by the same studio) Machinarium. On top of being beautiful and charming, it has one of my favorite game soundtracks ever.
It was well received at the time of released, but I rarely see And Yet It Moves mentioned anymore. Admittedly I haven't played it in a few years, but I have fond memories of it.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Twenty-two Essex County residents have been left scrambling to adjust their transportation schedules after the Ticonderoga-based health consortium Inter-Lakes Health (ILH) cancelled the bus service that ferried elderly passengers from the southern part of the county to medical appointments across the region, including Middlebury and Burlington.
Essex County officials remain in the dark two weeks after the decision was made on July 28.
"It's been hard to get information," Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal told the Board of Supervisors on Monday, Aug. 11.
Dougal said one resident has already called the county requesting transport.
"I have 22 people that we need to decide how to move," said Dougal. "Many are in wheelchairs."
ILH spokesperson Jane Hooper said residents will still be served. Patrons of the former service were notified in a letter sent on Aug. 1 that the Essex County Bus and Ticonderoga Senior Bus would be available as replacements.
Dougal didn't receive the letter. "The patients started calling and that's how we got involved," said Dougal.
The program, a joint effort between ILH and Hudson Headwaters, ran out of gas due to the prohibitive costs of repairing the bus, which was five-years-old and had 120,000 miles.
Hudson Headwaters got state grant funding for the vehicle, explained Hooper. While they owned it, ILH agreed to provide a driver, gas and insurance and ensure its operation.
ILH said they weren't in a position to make repairs.
Hudson Headwaters rep Howard Nelson said on Monday they opted to discontinue the program entirely because they didn't have grant funding to purchase a replacement.
This wasn't the first bus in the program — repairs to a prior vehicle were made in the past — but nonetheless marks the elimination of the service.
Hooper said the termination was unrelated to the storms swirling around ILH this year, including mass layoffs and personnel changes that have called the facility's long-term sustainability into doubt.

Hard to believe that what was a feather in the collective ILH/HHHN cap a few years ago when this bus was an integral part of the 5 year plans, praised in several press releases and written up in a national study of rural heath centers response to aging populations [ http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jar/2011/898672/ ]; is now so untenable that they could not try to fund-raise a solution or reapply for those same state and federal grants that are still offered to purchase a replacement before just suddenly dropping the transport. This is going to effectively force wheelchair bound people out of their homes into nursing facilities much earlier, to relocate to other more accessible or amenable towns, or go just without what would be routine monthly wellness care (which could easily cause their health to decline quite rapidly). It seems like this poor publicity could have been avoided, at a time when these health services can ill afford it.

Here First is an important new collection of essays by Native American writers compiled by Arnold Krupat and Brian Swann, the editors of I Tell You Now: Autobiographical Essays by Native American Writers. In Here First, authors such as Sherman Alexie, Greg Sarris, and Elizabeth Woody tell the stories of their lives and their art. Each essay demonstrates the breadth of experience of twenty-seven individuals united in the creative expression of a Native American heritage. Each has a different relation to that heritage, and in describing it through personal and family history, with verse and in anecdotes, the writers give a strong image of the different cultures that have shaped them. This is living history and the kind of collective memoir that makes for fascinating and rewarding reading–one of the most vivid and diverse portraits of Native American culture available today.

Seriously though I would love to try out Vanguard but I keep getting scared off by all the issues people are talking about. I'll happily try it out if a trial is offered but I'm not willing to buy the game to find it's not my style. Plus my guild is running Karazhan frequently and I don't have time for another MMO. I must admit I have to laugh at people who call WoW easy though - say that once you've finished all the Heroic mode instances or the BC raid content. Nothing easy about it at all.
Where have you been? Druids are officially the deadest dead class evar, they're so nerfed they can't even solo VC at level 70. Don't you read the forums?
LOL! I keep laughing every time I read this. LMAO! Ok, I am a rogue and every time I see a druid, I run the other way. They will chew me up, spit me out, teabag me and rub their bear butt up and down on my undead rogue arss. LOL! They are not to be messed with. Every time I hear a druid cry abou being nerfed from 450 to 400, I laugh hard then tell them to play a rogue.
Oh guess what the number one arena team is? That's right, a team made up of only mages. Polly morph and focus fire on one target. It takes no skill for them and no one can touch them. YOu want to talk about over powered? LOL! Here are the classes that are over powered in the exact order. Pallies, Druids and mages.
Any way Vanguard has potential to be a great game but it won't. It wont because the playing community likes the game the way it is. They like non-instanced dungeons, grinding and deat penalites. Their reason is that it makes it "realistic". LOL! I've never killed a goblin on my way to work. LOL

Who could forget Snake? For those of you who are under the age of 20, it's story time. Once upon a time, games were rather limited on cell phones. We entertained ourselves with a little black line that grew as it ate other little black dots. We grew up with developers that made much more entertaining games while clinging to our nostalgia of wasting hours chasing little black dots. The end. The 40 Snakes app is 40 different variations of the old snake game.
Some Snake games that I played wouldn't let you go through the walls. It killed you. With 40 Snakes, you can choose to play the classic version that lets you go through walls, or you can play a little more hardcore and solidify those walls. There are also games where the apple turns to stone. I could go on and on about the different little variations, but that would be a list of 40 different things. I'll spare you those gritty details.
Controlling the snake is as easy as flicking your finger across your touch screen. It was easy to control the game. I ended up playing with my thumb on the bottom right corner, and I happily watched the snake do his thing while I put minimal effort into moving my thumb.
I did find a glitch in the game. Each level comes with a mission. The mission can be something simple like eating 10 apples in classic mode. Completing the mission earns you golden apples. The more difficult the mission, the more golden apples you earn. However, my apples weren't being added to my stash.
The problem with the golden apples not appearing in your stash is that you can't unlock more levels without these golden apples. The more missions you complete, the more levels you can unlock. Unless your golden apples don't show up. Then, you're stuck.
I would be ranting and shaking my fist more vehemently if this were a paid game. I paid for it, and I want all the levels, darn it. However, it's a free game that has tons of mini games in it. I'll let the glitch slide for now. It would be awesome if it was fixed in the update.
The 40 Snakes app is available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!

Paul Lawrie has a chance at an ideal end to a strong comeback year after the Scot's 3-under 69 gave him the halfway lead at the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City on Friday. Lawrie had just one bogey on another tough day for players on the challenging Gary Player Country Club course and made four birdies for a 4-under-par total of 140. A major champion over a decade ago, Lawrie had a one-shot lead over Ryder Cup teammate Martin Kaymer heading to the weekend and a chance at a third win this year. They were the only players to break 70 in the second round. ''The course is demanding,'' Lawrie said. ''You have to drive the ball very well and keep the ball in play to give yourself a chance to get it close to the pin. It's a great golf course. So far, so good but a long way to go.'' Kaymer had five birdies in his 69 and only consecutive bogeys on Nos. 8 and 9 kept him back. The German sank the putt that retained the Ryder Cup for Europe but despite that golden moment, the former top-r...

To be effective, training decisions made at the organizational and departmental levels must be informed by the needs of the individual. An individual development plan (IDP) is cooperatively developed between a supervisor and an employee to identify training needs that address mandatory training, essential competencies, legal requirements, career development and professional growth. This allows the employee and supervisor to focus limited resources in the area of greatest need for the individual and the organization.
The IDP tool resides in the Employee Self Service (ESS) system, a web-based application for all DOE Federal Employees.
For instructions on using the IDP tool, visit the ESS website (once logged in, go to IDP > Instructions) or contact the training POC for your organization.
There are training opportunities available to employees that do not require travel and have reduced or no cost. Training vendors are beginning to offer more online training courses with reduced tuition fees. Additionally, the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and the DOE Online Learning Center (OLC) have no tuition costs. The DAU offers courses in acquisition management, auditing, financial management, contracting, earned value management, industrial/contract property management, information resources, program management, as well as systems planning, research, development and engineering and more. The OLC is accessible through ESS and offers many courses relative to business skills (communication, consulting, finance and accounting, leadership, management, project management, strategic planning, etc.) as well as desktop courses such as Microsoft Office, Project, and Windows. Certification classes are frequently paid for by HQ, including the Project Management Career Development Program (PMCDP), the Acquisition Career Management Program (ACMP).
Structured on-the-job-training is the most frequently used method of individualized learning. This approach can be used to teach employees new procedures, tasks and technology. In this situation, the employee is counseled and coached while actually performing official duties. It usually involves individual instruction by the supervisor or a designated staff member who has experience in the task or procedure to be learned.
Developmental Activities
One of the best ways to train for added responsibilities or higher job opportunities is through developmental activities. With the support and assistance of the supervisor, the employee may be temporarily transferred to another area to learn firsthand the necessary technical and managerial competencies required for effective performance in that job. Examples of developmental activities include the following list:
• Shadowing: Providing a trainee or learner with the opportunity to observe a well-qualified, journeyman level employee perform a particular skill. Immediately after the shadowing period, the learner needs to have the opportunity to perform the same skill and be given feedback on that performance.
• Detail/Rotational Assignments: Short-term assignment particularly appropriate for important skills that make up a small portion of an individual's job, but can lead to full-time work in that field.
• Task Force Assignments: This is particularly effective if the learner has an opportunity to work with well-qualified people who will provide feedback to the learner on his/her performance and participation in the group.
When an employee aspires to a new career and his/her, developmental needs cannot be directly related to present or anticipated work assignments, or resources are not available, the employee may undertake self-development activities:
• Taking evening or weekend courses at local schools
• Watching educational or training videotapes
• Using correspondence and other self-study courses
• Reading books and other publications or journals and
• Using PC tutorials or computer assisted training programs.
Remember, what you want in terms of development and what your supervisor can authorize may be different. To meet all your goals, it may be necessary for you to gain some competencies on your own time.

CORDOVA, TN (localmemphis.com)-- Darting in and out of traffic during the start of the evening rush hour, a burglary suspect led Memphis Police on a wild police chase on one of the Mid-South's busiest streets.
"I saw a car flying past me, said Lisa Akbari, "Then I saw police flying behind him and I said oh my goodness, it's a police chase."
According to MPD, an off-duty police officer was working out at the YMCA at Club Center, when he learned a man was breaking into lockers in the men's locker room.
The off-duty officer tried to talk with the suspect who fled from the scene.
Police say the officer then followed the suspect, and watched as he car-jacked a black Cadillac at the the Red Robin Restaurant at Germantown Parkway and Cordova Road around 4 p.m.
Police started chasing the Cadillac, with speeds topping 85 miles per hour. At one point, the suspect was trying to ram police cars involved in the pursuit.
"I am like stopping because I'm thinking if you don't, they're going to hit you," said Akbari. "So I stopped in the middle of the street, couldn't pull over because they were on the right side of me and the left side of me."
One squad car was hit, injuring the officer. The officer was taken to The MED in non-critical consition. A second squad car was also hit by the suspect, but the officer was not injured.
The suspect wrecked at Dexter Rd. and Chimneyrock Blvd. and was trapped in the car. Police had to wait for the fire department to get the suspect out of the car so he could be taken into custody. The suspect was eventually taken to The MED in non-critical condition.
"It was so scary," Akbari said. "I love the fact that they were protecting us and getting the bad guy, but I don't know, there's got to be something else, a better way."
There was no word Wednesday night regarding the identity of the suspect or what charges he may face.

Carol In Your Corner: Doctor bills patient, files claim with insurance for same amount
Hi Carol,
I would like get your expertise on a frustrating and somewhat confusing problem.
My husband had laser blasting done on the floaters in one of his eyes which consisted of four treatments. The doctor in Fort Myers told him it would be $1,800 for all four treatments and that insurance would likely not cover the procedure. My husband and I both asked the doctor to submit it anyway just so no stone was unturned hoping they may at least pay a portion of the $1,800. The doctor agreed he would submit the claim.
Blue Cross paid the doctor the $1,800, but the doctor won't send us a reimbursement. So the doctor now has our $1,800 and a check from Blue Cross for $1,800. Additionally they had my husband sign a paper saying they would bill the insurance carrier $4,000 per treatment ($16,000) total! The doctor told him it was just a paper explaining the procedure and the risks but they didn't do it until after his eyes had been dilated so he trusted them and signed it even though he could not read it. At no time had they ever mentioned they were planning to charge Blue Cross $16,000 instead of the $1,800 we had to prepay.
The doctor's office finally called yesterday and told us they were going to mail the check of $1,800 back to Blue Cross, and we should try to get our $1,800 from them. Blue Cross has already told me by contract they are not allowed to convey reimbursement directly to us, so now effectively we have no way to recover any of the money Blue Cross paid out.
Hi Rhonda,
Glad you contacted me so promptly, for together we can get you the money you deserve. I would call the doctor immediately and tell him that you want a stop payment on the $1,800 check they sent back to Blue Cross. Even though the doctor's office just mailed the check yesterday, it can still be stopped for it hasn't cleared the bank.
If you do receive a check for $1,800 from the doctor, please be sure to cash the check at any branch the check was drawn against. For instance, if the check is written from a Fifth/Third Bank, then be sure to go to any branch of Fifth/Third. This way you can ask the teller if there are enough funds in the account to back up this check (they are not allowed to tell you how much is in the account, only allowed to tell you that there are sufficient funds). The reason I am telling you to cash the check at a branch of their bank, because if you cash it at your bank (that might not be a 5/3 Bank) and it bounces due to insufficient funds in the doctor's account, they will return the check unpaid and you will pay bank fees.
Update: Rhonda emails: "Carol, you are a genius! The doctor sent us a registered letter with a check for the amount we prepaid of $1,800. They did have a caveat inasmuch as they said if Blue Cross demanded they return the payment or if they failed to (ultimately) pay on the first procedure (which they billed $4,000 to Blue Cross — unbeknownst to us at the time of procedure!) then we would have to return it. I think that was just their way of saving face (too late for that). Anyway, your advice was brilliant and we thank you so much for it."
TIP: Please be sure when you have a procedure to bring someone along, spouse, relative or a friend, who should sign a HIPAA form so they may speak to the doctor and read any forms that need to be signed.

Publisher's Description
In 1820, the Nantucket whaleship Essex was rammed by an angry sperm whale thousands of miles from home in the South Pacific. The Essex sank, leaving twenty crew members drifting in three small open boats for ninety days. Through drastic measures, eight men survived to reveal this astonishing tale.
The Narrative of the Wreck of the Whaleship Essex, by Owen Chase, has long been the essential account of the Essex's doomed voyage. But in 1980, a new account of the disaster was discovered, penned late in life by Thomas Nickerson, who had been the fifteen-year-old cabin boy of the ship. This discovery has vastly expanded and clarified the history of an event as grandiose in its time as the Titanic.
This edition presents Nickerson's never-before-published chronicle alongside Chase's version. Also included are the most important other contemporary accounts of the incident, Melville's notes in his copy of the Chase narrative, and journal entries by Emerson and Thoreau.
Author Bio
Nathaniel Philbrick, is a leading authority on the history of Nantucket Island. His In the Heart of the Sea won the National Book Award. His latest book is Sea of Glory, about the epic U.S. Exploring Expedition of 18381842. His other books include Away off Shore: Nantucket Island and Its People, 1602-1890 (which Russell Baker called "indispensable") and Abram's Eyes: The Native American Legend of Nantucket Island ("a classic of historical truthtelling," according to Stuart Frank, director of the Kendall Whaling Museum). He has written an introduction to a new edition of Joseph Hart's Miriam Coffin, or The Whale Fisherman, a Nantucket novel (first published in 1834) that Melville relied upon for information about the island when writing Moby Dick.
Philbrick, a champion sailboat racer, has also written extensively about sailing, including The Passionate Sailor (1987) and the forthcoming Second Wind: A Sunfish Sailor's Odyssey. He was editor in chief of the classic Yaahting: A Parody (1984).
In his role as director of the Egan Institute of Maritime Studies, Philbrick, who is also a research fellow at the Nantucket Historical Association, gives frequent talks about Nantucket and sailing. He has appeared on "NBC Today Weekend", A&E's "Biography" series, and National Public Radio and has served as a consultant for the movie "Moby Dick", shown on the USA Network. He received a bachelor of Arts from Brown University and a Master of Arts in American Literature from Duke. He lives on Natucket with his wife and two children.

1912 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR671912 $2 1/2 PR67 PCGS. The 1912 proof Indian Head quarter eagle had a mintage of 197 pieces. Attrition was heavy in that year, however, and the original mintage figure bears little relation to the number of survivors today. Akers was only able to trace 19 auction records for this date in the 30 years he surveyed for his work. We believe the total considerably higher, with the total number of survivors probably in the neighborhood of 65 to 75 pieces.
Nearly Flawless Example of the
Matte Proofing Process
Nearly Flawless Example of the
Matte Proofing Process
A matte or sandblast finish was seen on gold proofs of this year, but is different from the matte or sandblast finish of proofs from 1908 and 1911. Writing in his Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins, 1722-1989 (1989), Walter Breen commented: "Fine sandblast finish. Different from all previous matte coins; under a microscope the surfaces show millions of minute shiny facets. Much rarer than its mintage figure would suggest."
This piece features fine-grained surfaces that display a beautiful matte texture and even, light khaki coloration. Under a loupe one can see the sparkling individual facets of the sandblast surface. The obverse is virtually flawless, and the reverse also comes close to being pristine. The sharply struck design elements are clear throughout, except only for the slightest weakness on the eagle's breast and left (facing) leg feathers. The specialist in proof Indian Head gold coinage could spend many years searching for a finer example. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (3/11).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 289L, PCGS# 7961)

Good job, only problem is Thanos is one of those characters that is so complicated you really can't do him credit with just three minutes. He was instrumental in defeating Magus in the Infinity War, he "cured" the Universe in Marvel's The End, he stopped an multidimensional being from devouring the current dimension when Galactus tried to cure himself of his hunger, not to mention stopping the Beyonder while he/she was imprisoned at the Crunch.

Another beast in the Class LL pit, divisional breakdowns, schedules, and MINUTIA
Howdy, The CIAC's Class LL division is generally considered the state's mas macho division. Sure, the likes of Darien,...
It's expected that Murphy will be hired as the New Milford Green Wave's head coach Thursday at the town's Board of Education meeting, according to Sean Bowley and Kevin Duffy of Hearst Inc.
Murphy, 45, had coached Masuk of Monroe the previous 16 seasons. He resigned in December.
It's been the most outlandish football offseason in recent memory, as 23 teams have had coaching openings. That's over a sixth of the state's 146 programs.
Murphy has been one of the most successful coaches in state history. He has a 159-34-1 record, and his .822 winning percentage is the fifth-best in state history, according to the 2012 Connecticut High School Football Record Book.
Masuk had success prior to Murphy. It was 31-23 between 1992-96 and played in both the 1985 and '86 Class M final (it lost both).
Murphy helped transform the Panthers into a state power, though. In his second season, they stunned heavily favored Fitch to win the CIAC Class L title.
Masuk qualified for the state playoffs in 12 of Murphy's 16 seasons. It won three state titles in seven championship appearances. It also snared a league-high six South-West Conference titles.
Murphy takes over one of the SWC's most downtrodden programs. It's never qualified for states, and it has a 31-82 record over the last 11 seasons. Its only winning season during that stretch was in 2008 (6-5). It won three-or-less games in nine of those years.
New Milford has the second-largest program in the 14-team SWC. It had 757 boys in grades 9-12 during the 2011-12 school year. Only Newtown (888) has more.
The hire further alters the SWC landscape as earlier this month, Craig Bruno moved to Naugatuck after having great success at his alma mater, Bunnell of Stratford. Bruno coached Bunnell to both the league and Class L championship in 2006 and 2007.
One final thing — New Milford opens the season against Masuk. Neat.

Bryant Carpenter of the Meriden Record-Journal reported Monday that Maloney may — emphasis may — have its coaching recommendation approved tonight at Meriden's BOE meeting.
Several sources told Carpenter that Pierce Brennan was the unanimous recommendation of Maloney's search committee. Brennan is an assistant coach at Trinity Pawling (N.Y.) and a math teacher.
Carpenter reported that Middletown assistant Kevin Frederick and Weaver of Hartford head coach Kevin Quinn were the other two finalists.
Meriden School Superintendent Mark Benigni wouldn't say who the search committee recommended, but said it included a teaching gig.
Maloney is one of EIGHTEEN vacancies left — Abbott Tech of Danbury, Avon, Branford, Bridgeport Central, Bunnell, Ellington/Somers, Fairfield Ludlowe, Fitch, Lewis Mills of Burlington, Masuk, Old Saybrook/Westbrook, Rockville of Vernon, St. Bernard/Norwich Tech, Stamford, Torrington, Wilby of Waterbury and Woodstock Academy.
Bacon Academy (Erik Larka) and East Lyme (Rudy Bagos) hired their new coaches earlier this month.

The streak is over. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Eskimos 28-16 on Friday night.
The Esks were beat physically. That's what happened. Ricky Ray was sacked 4 times and threw 3 interceptions because of pressure from the Bomber D-line. To put that into perspective, Ray had only thrown a single interception up to this point in the season.
The Bomber's defence proved Ricky Ray was human. He was 17/28 and threw for a touchdown, as well as, as I mentioned, 3 INT's. The pressure got to him and late in the game when big plays were needed for a comeback, the only thing available were dump passes.
Another reason Ray didn't have the game he has had all year is that Fred Stamps didn't have the game he's had all year. He only had 3 catches for 41 yards. 27 of those yards came on one play near the end of the first half. The Ray-Stamps duo has been the main reason the Esks were undefeated up to this point and Jonathan Hefney did a great job shutting down Stamps. All my respect his way. On the bright side for the Esks, Jason Barnes filled in quite nicely.
Barnes had 8 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown, and if he could have squeezed the ball a few more times instead dropping some key passes, would have had an even better showing. Unfortunately, Barnes seemed to be the only bright spot as the game went on.
Now Esks fans, there's no need to worry. You lost to a team who, right now is, the best team in the league. And in my opinion, Edmonton needed this loss. You need to learn how to lose before you can learn how to win. It also allows you to look at problems that you just ignore when you are winning.
Edmonton's kick return is an example. Brian Bonner fumbled the ball twice and lost both of them and averaged a single yard per return. This needs to be fixed.
The Esks aren't on their way down the standings, but they are vincible.
From a Swaggerville perspective, things looked good tonight. Buck Peirce was 20/27, had 242 passing yards, threw for 2 touch downs, ran for another, had 54 rushing yards, and an INT.
Fred Reid was also huge in this game running all over the Eskimos. He only had 96 yards, but the way he ran and the key plays he made, it made it seem like he ran for 500.
Next week, the Bombers will take on the Lions, while the Eskimos will face Anthony Calvillio and the Als. Both teams are now 5-1.

By Fiore on 1/30/2012
As a longtime devotee of the late Arqua, I have been a loyal if not terribly frequent follower of Petrarca. My most recent meal here inspired this, my first online review of anything. It is more delicious every time I try it- and it started out well. The owners take great care with the restaurant and the experience of people eating there, but more than that they are having fun. The menu changes are interesting, the wine list has many things to try that you may not know of, and still everything is easy and comfortable. And, the owners' son, who used to play around at Arqua as a little kid, can be seen many nights running things like a relaxed professional. He can stop and talk soccer with neighborhood regulars or treat newcomers like special, very welcome guests. The space is comfortable with warm lighting, clean lines, beautiful windows and just the right vibe of festive and not-too-loud. The service is kind and careful and NOT once have I seen them be rude. Never. Not any time I have been there, to anyone. This restaurant just hits a fine balance of elegance and ease, delicious food and wine in a wonderful space. It is witty and timeless- Petrarca is a fitting name. I highly recommend the seasonal special of caramelized sardines with fresh carrots and the pappardelle with duck ragu. Wines are served by the bottle or by the "quartino"- the bit of Italian wizardry for those of us who want just a little more than a glass.

An impromptu date-night brought us to this cozy corner spot after our usual go-to place had an unusually long wait for a late evening meal. Wow! We were so pleased to have stumbled upon Petrarca. The service was impeccable, the food unbelievable from the rustic antipasto plate of carcuterie to our pasta dishes. Also a plus, Gluten-Free pasta available and might I say the BEST Gluten-Free pasta I have ever had! (just a note, I am Italian and I used to eat real pasta... this is as close as you will get.) To top it off delicious Tiramisu. The wine list is impressive with hand selected reds from all regions of Italy's premiere wine regions. Not sure if they have an in-house sommelier or just an owner with a fine taste for extremely delicious wines. Highly suggest this restaurant and I can't wait to go back again!

"This organization and this legislation is opening a door that we hope will open wide around the world" through the work of ADI, Barker said. "I'm proud to be a part of this and I've been blessed in a lot of ways, in that I can help the animals around the world now, and I look forward to doing this as long I live."
With him in Denver is Jorja Fox, known for her role as Sara Sidle on "CSI." Fox, who has been involved with ADI for five years, described the animals' journey from circus to freedom. She was there for ADI's first lion air lift from Bolivia in May, when a lion family was transported to northern California.
After seeing photos and video of the lions during their rehabilitation and transport, Fox said she's most excited to see Kimba, the 15-year-old veteran circus lion rescued from a zoo where he never left his cage.
"There's something about this elderly lion getting a second shot," she said. "My biggest challenge today is not to get too emotional."
Though financial donations are needed to fund the organization's efforts, it "takes an army" of people to care for the animals once they're settled at the Sanctuary, Craig said. The small staff of 12 is supplemented by over 100 volunteers. Those 200 extra hands are a necessity: just feeding the large animals requires 17,000 pounds of food each week.
In order to help acclimatize the lions to cooler temperatures than they're used to, the Wild Animal Sanctuary constructed a huge indoor facility. "That was one of the big parts of the equation. If they wanted to bring lions from Bolivia, especially in February, we'd have to build buildings for them and wait for spring," Craig said.
After observation, they will be released into an 80-acre outdoor enclosure; Colorado's natural grasslands and lakes mimic the lions' natural habitat. Already home to two prides of lions, the Sanctuary has underground dens that stay a mild 60 degrees year round, where the lions can cool down in the summer and warm up in the winter.
Lions are the only social cats, Craig said. "They want to live together, and they can't really function well without having some hierarchy and order that makes their life seem like they're working right."
Some of the rescued lions already have that order. Eight lived together in a cramped trailer just 8 feet wide. Others were rescued as singles or pairs and will need to adjust to living in a pride. One, India, had never interacted with other lions before her rescue.
Lions have "the inner desire to want to be together, and live with that structure," Craig said. "It's nice they'll be able to live in these family groups and function like a wild pride of lions."
The Wild Animal Sanctuary has two goals: rescuing animals and educating the public about the captive animal crisis.
The experience of visiting the animals at the Sanctuary isn't like an average trip to the zoo. While watching a pride of lions living freely, visitors read their stories and learn where each animal came from. Some of the tales are heart-breaking, Craig said -- neglected pets rescued from garages or basements of homes of overwhelmed or abusive owners.
