Boat tour to Isla San Bernardo
I had been recommended Mundo Marino for the boat tour to Islas San Bernardo. I booked the tour in the afternoon the day before. The tour was 55 000 pesos (July 2008) and the price included the boat transfer, visit to the Ecological park (Aquarium) on Isla Palma and lunch on Isla Mucura.
I had been told to be at the office at 8.10 in the morning after and that the boat was leaving at 8.30 from the harbour. We were not in a hurry to leave even if we were more than 20 people. It seamed they wanted to wait until the boat was full, so we didn't leave until 8.50.
The first stop was at Isla Palma where we got a guided tour around in the Ecological Park. Then we went on to Isla Mucura where we had lunch and where there were possibilities for swimming, snorkelling (5000 pesos for half an hour) or taking a walk. The time on Isla Mucura was too short. We were going back already at 14.30 and at 14.10 someone told me it was time to go to the boat. They were really in a hurry and did not leave a minute after 14.30. One hour later we were back in Tolú. When I was recommended the tour I had been told the tours normally came back later. Another thing that was not good was that the boat went too fast. For the people in the front it was too bumpy and unpleasant. I sat more in the back and had big splashes of water coming over me almost all way back, and as the salty water came hard in my eyes I had to close the eyes for most of that ride.
Islas San Bernardo are lovely and to enjoy the tour more there should absolutely be more time on Isla Mucura and a slower boat ride

Isla Mucura
Isla Mucura is the Island where we stopped for lunch and swimming. We passed the hotel Punta Faro and arrived to a place with several restaurants. Lunch was not served jet, but there was time to go on a half an hour snorkelling tour at the reef nearby. I and two other tourists did and it was 5000 pesos per person. There were no fins but it was okay anyway. We saw some small fishes, sea stars, sea weed and one of us saw a moray. The two other tourists snorkelled after lunch as well and said that that site was better.
Coming back we were served lunch and then there was time for another snorkelling tour, walking or time on the beach. I went swimming.
The beach by the restaurants is very small but the water is warm and crystal-clear. We had too little time here and were in a hurry back. We should have got one more hour!

As we passed Islote the boat slowed down, but we made no stop. Islote is interesting as it is the most densely populated island in the world. It is a tiny island with 97 houses, where almost 1300 people live. There is more than one person per square metre.
Isla Palma and the aquarium
On the boat tour in the San Bernardo Archipelago we mad the first stop at Isla Palma to see the Aquarium /Ecological Park. We had a guided tour around the park, where you can see both sea life and other animals from the area and other areas. There are turtles, barracudas, flamingos, tucans, an ostrich, monkeys and more. There was also a small museum with some items from old ships and aquariums in tunnels.
On Isla Palma there is also a 5-star hotel, Decameron. We didn't visit it, but the beach looked lovely from the boat.

Mary Mazzio
Mary Mazzio is an American award-winning documentary filmmaker, attorney, and a rower for the United States in the 1992 Olympics. She founded the independent film company 50 Eggs.[1]
Mazzio received a B.A. in philosophy and political science from Mount Holyoke College in 1983 and a J.D. from Georgetown University in 1987. She studied film production as a graduate student at Boston University.[2] She is a former partner with the law firm of Brown, Rudnick, Freed, and Gesmer.
A Hero For Daisy (1999)[edit]
Her 1999 film, A Hero for Daisy,,[3] called "a landmark film" by The New York Times,[4] is about Title IX pioneer and two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, who (in 1976) led her Yale University rowing team in a protest that increased athletic opportunities for women. This film, which won a Gracie and a Women's Foundation Journalism Award, aired nationwide on ESPN, Oxygen, and WTSN (Canada), was invited to screen at The Smithsonian, and is in thousands of classrooms across the nation.[5]
Apple Pie (2002)[edit]
Mazzio followed up with Apple Pie in 2002, featuring Drew Bledsoe, Mia Hamm, Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill, Kenny Lofton, and other athletes, which was called "illuminating... told with deftness and emotion...priceless" by The New York Times.
Lemonade Stories (2004)[edit]
She produced Lemonade Stories,[6] featuring Richard Branson, Arthur Blank, Russell Simmons, Tom Scott and other entrepreneurs, which was the subject of a USA Today cover story and is being shown throughout the world on television and in classrooms, board rooms, business schools, and consulting firms.[7] [8] [9]
Ten9Eight: Shoot for the Moon (2009)[edit]
Mazzio's TEN9EIGHT tells the inspirational stories of several inner city teens who discover the power of entrepreneurship and compete in a national business plan competition. The title, TEN9EIGHT, refers to the fact that every 9 seconds a teen drops out of a U.S. high school. TEN9EIGHT was released in the fall of 2009 in a first-of-its-kind partnership with AMC Theatres in New York, LA, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and Kansas City. BET and CENTRIC networks broadcast TEN9EIGHT initially on February 7, 2010 as part of Viacom's GET SCHOOLED initiative with the Gates Foundation. The broadcast coincided with a special screening at the White House Summit hosted by the US Department of Education and the Library of Congress, as well as the release of a companion book to the film, Teens Blast Off, published by Scholastic. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman said this about TEN9EIGHT: "Obama should arrange for this movie to be shown in every classroom in America. It is the most inspirational, heartwarming film you will ever see." The film was also called "inspiring… should be compulsory viewing in high schools around the country" (Lael Lowenstein, Variety), "very well made" (Mike Hale, The New York Times) and "important," (Marshall Fine, Huffington Post).
The Apple Pushers (2011)[edit]
The Apple Pushers, written and directed by Mary Mazzio, narrated by Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, and underwritten by the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, follows immigrant street vendors who are rolling fresh fruits and vegetables into the inner cities of New York (where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge). These pushcart vendors, who have immigrated here from all parts of the world for different reasons, and who all have sacrificed so much to come to this country (a near fatal crossing of the Mexican border, as an example) – are now part of a new experiment in New York to help solve the food crisis and skyrocketing obesity rates in the inner city.
The film had a special screening at the Aspen Ideas Festival where thought leaders and policy makers, including Robin Schepper (the head of Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" campaign), discussed the film and the issues of how to tackle the obesity crisis in low-income neighborhoods across the country. In January, Kathleen Merrigan, Deputy Secretary of the USDA, hosted a special screening of The Apple Pushers at the Motion Picture Association in Washington DC for policy leaders, heads of federal agencies, and others who are in a position to help spread the message of the film - which is to think creatively about pushing back the borders of these food deserts. The room lit up after the event.
The film not only addresses the issue of food deserts where low income residents have little access to fresh fruits and vegetables – but also the issue of immigrants and what they do for our country.
The Apple Pushers, which is at the intersection of food access, immigration, and entrepreneurship, is produced by Mary Mazzio along with Tom Scott (founder of Nantucket Nectars and CEO of PLUM TV) and Christine Vachon (producer of Mildred Pierce and the Academy Award-winning Boys Don't Cry). Executive Producer – Laurie Tisch.

CIA officials caused the deaths of an American mother and child in a tragic plane shootdown above Peru, according to a blistering new report, by operating a counter-drug program outside the rules for six years and then lying about it to their superiors.
The report also says that after Roni Bowers and her daughter Charity died, the officials tried to cover up how it happened by "repeatedly" lying to Congress. Details from the report, and footage from the 2001 shootdown, are featured in this week's edition of "Brian Ross Investigates."
Click Here To Watch 'Brian Ross Investigates'
The CIA inspector general's report details "an environment of negligence" in which nearly two dozen officials knowingly participated in the shootdown of the Bowers plane and 14 other aircraft over the Peruvian jungle between 1996 and 2001 without following the established rules. While the program was in operation, according to the report, the officials misled their superiors and the National Security Council about the procedures being followed, and assured them that no planes were being shot down until it was certain they were drug planes.
After the Bowers shoot down in April 2001, according to the report, the officials tried to cover up their mistakes by "misrepresent[ing] the Agency's performance [in]almost a dozen Congressional briefings and hearings." The report cites numerous violations, omissions, and falsehoods, and even suggests that the CIA's general counsel interfered with a Department of Justice investigation into the shootdown. The Department of Justice said it would prosecute the officials for lying and the deaths of Roni and Charity Bowers, according to the report, if the CIA did not work out an "administrative" plan to discipline them.
On April 20, 2001, Jim and Veronica "Roni" Bowers and their two children, six-year-old son Cory and infant daughter Charity, were returning to their home in Peru from a trip to Brazil in a small airplane piloted by Kevin Donaldson.
The Bowers' worked as Christian missionaries along a stretch of the Amazon River near Iquitos, Peru, a remote jungle region near the Brazilian and Colombian borders heavily traveled by drug traffickers.
The CIA and the Peruvian Air Force were working in the same area, trying to interdict drug smugglers. Starting in 1995, they'd operated a joint program to intercept civilian aircraft suspected of smuggling drugs from South America to the U.S., shooting them down if necessary.
A CIA spotter plane saw the Cessna in which the Bowers family was flying and alerted the Peruvian Air Force, which shot them down, killing Roni and Charity. Jim Bowers, Cory and pilot Kevin Donaldson survived after their plane crash-landed .

A history of Mexico surveying the social, cultural, and political climate of the ancient Indian civilizations.
Miller, Robert Ryal :
Robert Ryal Miller, historian and retired professor of history, received the Ph.D. degree in history from the University of California, Berkeley. His special fields of interest include Mexican and Latin American history and the history of California and the American West. He has written many books and articles on these subjects. Shamrock and Sword, Juan Alvarado, Governor of California, 1836-1842, and Daily Life in Colonial Mexico: The Journey of Friar Illarione Da Bergamo, 1761-1768, edited by Robert Ryal Miller and William J. Orr also published by the University of Oklahoma Press.
''This well-written, tastefully illustrated history of Mexico surveys the social, cultural and political climate of the ancient Indian civilizations, the colonial period, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century Mexico. The inclusion of many contemporary accounts of witnesses to each era adds color and dimension to this brief history, which should appeal to the general reader as well as the college student.''
-- Current History.
''Professor Robert Ryal Miller takes the burden of explanation upon his capable shoulders and proceeds to carry us towards a better understanding of Mexico's long history....To be able to condense so many events into a single comprehensible volume is a feat worthy of someone who has spent years researching and traveling throughout the region in question. As we find ourselves turning pages, waiting to find out what happens next, we are witnessing the work of a true scholar.''
-- New York Tribune
''This is a superb synthesis of Mexico's complex history. It incorporates the results of two decades of very productive research by this author and others....A highly readable and objective text that should appeal to general readers.''
-- Library Journal

Amtrak unveils locomotives to replace aging fleet
The locomotives, called Amtrak Cities Sprinters, are based on Siemens' latest European electric locomotive and will replace Amtrak equipment that has been in service for 20 to 30 years and has logged an average of 3.5 million miles.
Simply having the same type of locomotive in operation should cut costs, according to Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm. Amtrak now uses three locomotive models, requiring slightly different maintenance, parts and training.
"Now, we will have one model, one inventory and one training program, and all that will help efficiency," Kulm said.
About 750 people are employed at Siemens' Sacramento plant. The locomotive project also involves Siemens plants in Columbus, Ohio, Richland, Miss., and Alpharetta, Ga.
The ripple effect spreads farther. As a condition of the Department of Transportation loan, the majority of the products and materials used to build the locomotives must be made in the U.S. As a result, some lighting parts are coming from Connecticut, the driver's seat from Wisconsin, insulation from Indiana, electronics from Texas and hydraulic parts from California. In all, 70 suppliers in 23 states are providing components, Siemens said.
Amtrak must still seek federal funding for a long list of planned and ongoing improvements, including replacing sections of pre-World War II electrical systems on the Northeast Corridor that cause regular disruptions. The fact that Amtrak has reduced its debt by 60 percent over the last 10 years and its federal operating subsidy to 12 percent could make it an easier sell.
"Ten years ago we were in a tougher spot," Amtrak CEO Joe Boardman said last week. "Now Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor is in a much healthier position. We're trying to maximize that, to the extent we can, to pay for what we should pay for on the Northeast Corridor."

So I guess I can say my objective with the customer is to make their ideas a reality and introduce them to new ways of making their organization more efficient in both the virtual world and the real world. But my personal goal is to never let the technology get too far away from me, because if I do then someone else is going to take my place (and I'm sorry but I really like it in here SO IM NOT SHARING) If you want to know more about me visit my Website at: http://www.canadawebdeveloper.ca, http://dannymcguire.ardcorp.tv or http://goo.gl/NqtZz Note I'm working on my site at the moment so it will be offline for a while.. For this I have to say I been working with Microsoft and Google as an internal beta tester, I been called several times by Microsoft to join software, hardware and game developers to discuss some of the most important changes on the history of the company. And all this experience has told me that If I want to be the best at what I do, I cant just stop or be happy for having great feedback from customers or high executives, I have to push and push real hard to stay on top on technology, know it and master it before it even hits the light. Thanks Microsoft and Google for everything you have, and keep teaching me…

Scott family in WV
Addedby Cindi Scott
Dennis And Tonya Shank I don't know that I can be of any help. I love researching our family history and our surnames are Carroll, Hoffman, Lawrence, Samples, Bloss, Shank, Christian, and Scott all from WV. Thank you so much for the site on Scott family history in WV. Our Scott family is from Mason County from what I have been told. Twins run high in our family genes and it is intresting to say the least. My husband is Dennis Shank. His parents are Nettie Jean Bloss and Ernest Lee Shank. Nettie's parents were the Bloss and Christian. Ernest's parents were Shank and Lillie(Lily) May Scott. Lilly Mae's dad was Uva Scott. That as far as we have gotten. Not sure if this helps you at all, but we have come to a block and haven't been able to push through. I am going to the site you posted to see if it will help at all. Again thanks.

I'm a successful marketing director for an International franchise company. It 's a career that affords me the opportunity to be creative and this spills over to my personal life. I enjoy designing my home to be my sanctuary, sifting through consignment shops on the weekends looking for just that right piece for the corner of the living room. I love cooking risotto and homemade pasta and going to nice restaurants to experience different foods and then going home and creating them from scratch. I also love to bike ride through the neighborhoods on weekends, stopping at flea markets, farmer's markets, taking in the sights and finding bargains. I have great friends and family which I keep in touch with in both Florida and New York and I enjoy planning little getaways to catch up whenever I can. Usually this is to see a Broadway show for the 10th time in NYC or to catch a band up in Hudson or Westchester, NY. Visiting other countries when I can is also a passion of mine. Italy, France, Spain so far, and many more countries and island vacations on my list. While I like planning trips, I also enjoy spontaneity, just picking up a paper on a Saturday morning and going to an orchid show at the Bonnet House or catching art walk on Las Olas. I also like to chill in my own surroundings, staying in at home and having a few friends over for dinner and a movie is also nice. I'm very content in my own skin but knowing there is someone out there that wants to share my adventures is the most exciting part of the future. I'm originally from Westchester, NY and after a pit-stop in Denver, I currently call Fort Lauderdale home thanks to the warm weather. I am drug and disease free and HIV negative. I would prefer the same in a relationship. If you share my thirst for movies, travel, good food, great conversation, intimate evenings at home, I'd love to meet you.

Favorite places are Italy, NY, (orig. from NY), FL, CA, CO, New England, Disney, Europe, anywhere that stimulates my senses.
Some favorite things; love to cook, but not just for 1, landscaping, A good funny TV show or movie or just chillen with some good tunes. Big Mel Brooks fan ;)
In my free time, well, not that there is much of it; I like to go to movies, plays, local community stuff. I also like to work around my house, there always seems to be something to fix or rearrange. Hanging with friends is also fun
I like quick short stories. I read a lot of stuff on line or in magazines

VIDEO: Second-half goals from Coutinho, Henderson cap 4-0 Reds win
Aug 10, 2014, 9:08 AM EDT
Buoyed by a home crowd and, admittedly, a Borussia Dortmund lineup that looks ahead to next week's German cup tie, Liverpool enthusiastically dismissed its visitors to Anfield 4-0 on NBCSN this Saturday morning.
Philippe Coutinho, 22, was the star of the show, with a gorgeous first half flick set-up of Daniel Sturridge's goal and a tight-angled shot that made it 3-0 early in the second half.
[ MORE VIDEO: First-half goals from Sturridge, Lovren ]
Dejan Lovren also scored for Liverpool in his Anfield debut, while Jordan Henderson added the fourth.
Here's what we were saying at halftime.
Henderson's goal was the culmination of a beautiful string of play that likely could've been stopped when Sturridge's rescue of a ball on the end line appeared unsuccessful, but the striker instead turned a defender inside-out before feeding Henderson for the goal.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Manquillo (Kelly, 84′), Johnson (Enrique, 62′), Skrtel, Lovren, Gerrard, Emre Can (Lucas, 46′), Henderson (Allen, 80′), Sterling, Coutinho (Ibe, 72′), Sturridge (Lambert, 76′)
Goals: Sturridge (10′), Lovren (13′), Coutinho (48′), Henderson (61′)
Borussia Dortmund: Langerak, Piszczek, Sokratis (Knystock, 81′), Ginter, Schmelzer (Sarr, 81′), Kehl (Bender, 46′), Kirch (Immobile, 46′), Mkhitaryan (Ji, 58′), Aubameyang (Bandowski, 71′), Jojic (Amini, 77′), Ramos (Hofmann, 46′)

As a Liverpool fan, this is a good showing of offense with the loss of Suarez looming over the team.
Perhaps, the looming is over.
- lordfletcher - Aug 10, 2014 at 3:45 PM
A good showing, yes but I don't think this type of production will be duplicated often without adding a top tier striker… I don't see that happening till the next window tho if not longer. Not easily done as Real, Barca and a couple others will buy anything under the sun
Which this Man Utd fan doesn't mind one bit

Seeking someone with a great sense of humor and enjoys traveling
I'm a friendly and sociable guy who loves traveling to interesting places. So far, Texas is my main stop to see friends, but I also like to swing by Myrtle Beach to see my parents. I'd love to find that special someone to take with me on a world-wide adventure, but until then, we can enjoy riding my motorcycle on a warm afternoon, and relax in a coffee shop together. I may be career-oriented professional, but I value people and close relationships. Upbeat and optimistic, I'm always willing to support and encourage those around me. I believe in being a positive influence, whether that means I'm going out of my way to help someone, or that I'm doing my best to lift someone's spirits on a bad day. What I'm looking for is an independent lady who knows what she wants in life and is working toward those goals. A people person, she is comfortable in any situation and can handle herself well. She'll need a sarcastic sense of humor since I love to laugh and will do so at my own expense frequently. I don't take life too seriously and my partner should have an open-mind about what each day will bring us.
I like Cats, Dogs
I had a cat who was a stray, but I currently have no pets.
There are so many places I want to try in Chicago and I am open to going to my partner's favorite restaurants. Right now, I love to take the afternoon to sit in a coffee shop with my friends.
A bit of a technology geek, I'm the guy people call when they need help with their computer, phone, or tablet.
I enjoy riding my motorcycle on a long road away from the city. To stay in shape, I exercise regularly and go scuba diving for a change of pace. Friends mean a great deal to me and I enjoy hanging out with them.
I tend to read manuals on how to do something more than fictional novels.

Several GlassFish bugs have been discovered when running with Java SE 7 due to a change in the return value of the Class.getMethods and Class.getDeclaredMethods calls. This page discusses the change in the Java SE implementation, examples of GlassFish bugs that have already been found and why the bugs only showed up with Java SE 7, and examples of how to fix this issue.
The Class.getMethods javadoc (and Class.getDeclaredMethods) from Java SE 6 says:
The elements in the array returned are not sorted and are not in any particular order.
Despite this statement, up through Java SE 6 and up until build 128 of Java SE 7, the methods were returned in a consistent order from run to run of the JVM and within a single run. However, starting with build 129 of Java SE 7, according to bug 7023180, there was a change in the implementation of the JVM that causes the order of the methods in the return value to vary, both from run to run and within a single run of the JVM. So for example, given the following class:
One call to A.class.getMethods() might return [ getX, getY ] while another call might return [ getY, getX ]. The actual order depends on class loading, the JVM symbol table, and various other factors within the JVM.
GlassFish Example Issue
Several JIRA bugs (18133, 18184, 18368) have been filed against GlassFish where the root cause is due to this change. In each of these cases, there is a loop over the return value of Class.getMethods, and the logic within the loop is looking for a method with particular characteristics. However, the logic was not precise enough about the method being sought, and with earlier JVM releases, the code happened to find the method it was looking for first. With newer Java SE 7 releases, a different (wrong) method is found. For example, consider bug 18133. Here, the loop looks like this:
.The class referenced by parentType has the following two methods:
The string methodName in this case is "getNode". Depending on the order of the array returned by getMethods, this loop may find either of the methods. Later in the method, targetMethod.invoke is called, expecting to pass in no arguments. If the second method is found by the loop, the invoke call throws an exception.
The fix for the bug depends on the what the loop is actually searching for. In this case, the method not only has to have the given name, but it must also be annotated with an annotation that extends the InhabitantAnnotation. So to correct this code, the if statement in the loop has to be changed to check not only for the name of the method, but for the desired annotation.
With the other bugs, the check that is made on the method is more complex, and in each case, the fix was to add a more specific check on the method, either looking for the number of parameters that the method accepts or the methods return type.
Usage in GlassFish
Using Netbeans we've attempted to search the GlassFish trunk for all uses of Class.getMethods(), Class.getDeclaredMethods(). Those results are summarized on the following wiki page:
Tasks have been created to track code inspection of the files in the above list. You can see those tasks here:

More succinctly, is the temperature offset of the IICE Air linear across the temperature band? Adding a simple inline resistor does not accomplish this as I've learned. What I understood from the links provided is that the IICE Air can be set to different offsets, i.e.-unaltered, -10, -20 and -30C. I didn't see any discussion about the linearity of the offsets. Perhaps I read/scanned the info too briefly to glean an answer.
Perhaps I'm just dense. This wouldn't be the first time, after all, since my scalp is now burnt from circling the sun so many times.
The answer to your question could be both yes and no.
The IICE-Aire uses thermistors just like the stock air sensor and the output from a thermistor isn't linear to begin with, so that is the no answer.
But since the IICE-Aire uses thermistors that are 'offset' by -10, -20, and -30 degrees, then the answer is yes they are offset across the temperature band.
There are no resistors used in the IICE-Aire.
The hidden harmony is found with joy, while the obvious brings indifference.
The farther you enter into the Truth the deeper your conviction for truth must be.
There is understanding of the world precisely to the degree that there is understanding of the Self.

text: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Spotted in Antutu Benchmark Rafael Morales 17 July, 2013 9 Comments If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 then you know how amazing this phone really is. I have one and it does more than my previous devices ever could. It's actually the first phone that has kept me from upgrading, which, if you're like me, is no easy task. With devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One all hitting the market, I can imagine it must be a bit hard to resist that upgrade. Personally I'm waiting to see what Samsung does to my beloved Note line before I even consider upgrading to a different device (come on Snapdragon 800). Fellow Note fans if you needed a little reminder of what you're holding out for, here is a nice little leaked image (above). The image above is rumored to be of a AnTuTu Benchmark score of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Here it is titled as the SM-900 (which looks to be a variant of the device for Hong Kong) and, if the image is to be believed, it will be running Android Jellybean 4.2.2 and have an Exynos 4 Octa clocked at 1.9Ghz. That along with the AnTuTu Benchmark score of 33,082 sounds pretty damn good to me. Now keep in mind this is a rumor, so we will have to see how this one plays out. Also these specs are subject to change, but still it's nice to see images like this to keep our hopes alive. We have also received word that the OS may be updated to Android 4.3, but again this is just a rumor. Now that you have seen the image what do you think of these specs for the Note 3? Love them? hate them? Let us know in the comments below. Source: @leakschina Richard Yarrell I'm definitely ready for Note 3 come October. Day one purchase for me on Tmobile Richard Yarrell I'm definitely ready for Note 3 come October. Day one purchase for me on Tmobile. FreddieBoy's Tab 2 Snap 800 with ADVANCED A-LTE @ 2.3ghz, Adreno 330 GPU, 3 gigs DUAL CHANNEL ram, amoled flexscreen, partial Carbon fiber body (since Samsung purchased 50% of a major Carbon Fiber Co. a few months ago), slightly smaller chassis than Note 2 & bigger screen with partial Carbon Fiber (@ least back cover), with more to come n the future. Of course most of features mentioned & ruggidized, water & dust resistant. (like Sony) & S4 active. Bout all I can say for now, have to leave a few surprises. Diksha gone crazy by listening its features hopefully u will b realesed soonnnnnnn waiting for u note 3

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office said it responded to four separate injury crashes within the past day.
■ A 52-year-old Hartford man struck a 53-year-old female pedestrian about 5:20 p.m. Monday in Ashippun. She was severely injured and taken to a hospital.
■ Minutes later, about 5:30 p.m. Monday, a 29-year-old Madison woman lost control of her Land Rover on Highway 73 in the Town of Calamus, drove into a ditch and rolled over. She was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
■ About midnight Tuesday, a 53-year-old Oshkosh man failed to negotiate a curve and struck a power pole on Highway 175 near Meridian Road in Theresa. The driver and a 43-year-old female passenger were transported to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
■ About 8 a.m. Tuesday on Town Road MM in Ashippun, a 17-year-old Neosho woman lost control of her car while negotiating a curve, which went into a ditch and rolled several times. She was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
All the occupants of the vehicles were wearing seatbelts, which was likely why there were no fatalities, according to Sheriff Patricia Ninmann.

From Rotoworld.com:
Eric Gagne will undergo another operation Friday on his right elbow, this one to remove the nerve that was repositioned in his 2005 surgery.
Bunch of liars. Obviously, Gagne and the Dodgers had to know that something was wrong, and the timing of his dropping the appeal of his two-game suspension did seem very suspicious. The Dodgers didn't announce a timetable for his return, but we assume he'll miss at least two or three months, if not the rest of the season. Danys Baez will serve as the closer for the foreseeable future

I'm a huge fan of Four Color Love Story by The Metasciences. Are there more songs like this? The songs don't need to be about comic books, or even acoustic, really.

As examples of my interests I would mention the Nawlins-based musicians Mary Gauthier and Anders Osborne (or at least his folkier side). Thanks!

If there was a learning curve for the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday night, they certainly met it. If Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley wanted a few players to stand out, they certainly did.There were lots of positives to be taken from Saturday night. Anyway you look at it, the Jaguars are improving. Don't jump for playoff tickets quite yet, but there is improvement, there is determination and there is hope.If there is to be more improvements to this franchise, this was the jumping point and the standard by wihich the team will be measured heading into Friday night's game against the Dolphins. And with 19,000 fans in attendance for a scrimmage, the ownership and the community has to be happy about how the start of this season has begun.Here are a few things we learned about Saturday night's play.

Research choosing your tax preparer
BBB offers tips in making right choice
The Better Business Bureau of North Central Texas is alerting consumers expecting a tax refund to be cautious of tax preparers who claim they can get larger refunds than their competitors — and of Refund Application Loans (RAL).
According to IRS investigators, some preparers may use their clients' personal information to file falsified returns, and may keep most of the fraudulent refund for themselves while leaving you on the hook, explained Monica Horton, president of the BBB of North Central Texas.
It's important to note that the taxpayer is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of all information on a tax return, even if someone else prepares it. Individuals with fraudulent tax returns can face significant prison time as well as payment of back taxes with interest and penalties.
The BBB recommends following these tips from the IRS:
■ Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of the refund.
■ Use a reputable tax professional who signs the tax return and provides you a copy.
■ Consider whether the individual or the tax preparation firm will be around to answer questions about the tax return months, or even years, after the return has been filed.
■ Check the preparer's credentials. Only attorneys, certified public accountants and enrolled agents can represent taxpayers before the IRS in matters including audits, collections and appeals.
■ Find out if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization that provides its members with continuing educational resources and holds them to a code of ethics.
■ Ask friends and family whether they know anyone who has used the tax preparer before, and whether they were satisfied with the service they received.
Report suspected tax fraud activity to the IRS immediately by completing Form 3949-A, Information Referral. Whistleblowers may also provide allegations of fraud to the IRS using Form 211, Application for Award of Original Information, and may be eligible for a reward.
Speaking of RA loans, Horton said, "Refund anticipation loans may do more harm than good and just aren't worth the instant access they provide. It is a tremendous amount of money to spend and borrow your own money for as little as two weeks."
Tax preparers often offer Refund Anticipation Loans to allow you to immediately receive your tax refund. However, RALs are not an actual refund from the IRS but are a short-term loan from the company. According to the Consumer Federation of America, the interest rate and administration fees on RALs can range from 40 percent to over 700 percent of your refund. In 2009 Americans spent $664 million on RALs and other fees for money that would arrive in two weeks.
The RAL is an estimation made by the tax preparer of your refund amount, not a statement from the government. As a result, your refund could actually be less than the amount of your loan. This means you may end up owing the tax preparer more money than you received in your refund, Horton said.
Some people believe they can't wait the two weeks for their refund because of debts and bills that need to be paid. A better option than taking a RAL is to work with debt collectors and let them know a refund is on the way. Losing a portion of the money to a loan only puts you further behind.
To avoid RALs, consider filing your taxes electronically and requesting to have your money direct deposited. This is a much easier process to do on your own now with tax return software. While this entire process usually takes 10-14 days, you will receive 100 percent of your money and not have another loan to pay off as you would with a RAL.
For more information you can trust or to find a trustworthy tax preparer, start with bbb.org. The website for the Wichita Falls BBB is www.wichitafalls.bbb.org.

ParaNorman Song Parody - Poor Unfortunate Souls(Original Song - Poor Unfortunate Souls by The Jonas Brothers)
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me sort of 'bad'.
But you'll find that nowadays,
I've mended all my ways,
Repented, seen the light and made a change!
And I fortunately know of some dark magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed.
And hear lately, please don't laugh,
I use it on behalf,
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed,
Poor unfortunate souls!
In pain!
In need!
This one longing to be thinner,
This one wants to get the girl,
And do I help them?
Yes indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls!
So sad,
So true.
They come flocking to me crying,
'Demar help us, pretty please'!
And I help them?
Yes I do!
The living, they don't trust what don't know.
I see you've learned that after a few years.
Yes to me it's very clear,
I can see your problem here.
And guess what boy, I know just the thing to do!
What you need to do is really very simple.
It'll help you
ParaNormaline - Chapter 1- CHAPTER 1 - Welcome To Blithe Hollow -ParaNormaline - Chapter 13 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
--Coraline's POV--
Coraline looked out the car window, bored. Her parents had to go on a business trip to some place called Blithe Hollow, but she didn't really know why or what it was for exactly. Since they didn't trust her at the house alone (especially after what they called 'The Snow globe Incident') and they both had to go, she was dragged along for the trip as well. Her mother, Mel, glanced back at her as she heard yet another sigh from Coraline. "You're overreacting, Coraline. This'll be fun!" Mel said in a cheery voice, trying to cheer up her daughter. "Yeah, right " Coraline replied gloomily. Mel smiled faintly at her daughter, then turned forward again. "The people here look nice " she tried again. Coraline examined the crowd that was walking around the street. "They look like normal people to me " she sighed, unimpressed.
That's when Coraline's gaze went to a boy walking down the sidewalk. She lifted her head off of he

--Coraline's POV--
Coraline ran to the hotel room as fast as she could. When she got there, her parents were getting ready to leave. The text they had sent had said that they were going out to eat and they wanted her back so she could get ready. "So where are we going to eat?" Coraline asked as she got ready. "Well, this kind woman invited us to eat at her place to make us feel welcome in town." Mel answered. "Now don't take too long getting ready. We don't want to keep them waiting!"
Soon they were all in the car heading for the house they were eating at. "Who are we eating with, anyway?" Coraline asked. "The Babcock's, Coraline. They're a very nice family!" Charlie answered. I'll be the judge of that! Coraline thought, smirking to herself.
Once they got to the house and they were out of the car, they went up and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, someone came down and swung the door open with a raised eyebrow. Coraline and the boy gasped simulta
ParaNorman Fanfic - Norman's LifeCourtney had been waiting excitedly to see her baby sibling ever since her mother told her that she was going to have one. She had gone out of her way and done extra chores around the house so that Sandra could relax while she was pregnant. When her mother had woken up in the middle of the night screaming, Courtney had immediately panicked and rushed into her parents room to check on them. Her parents were both getting out of bed and her father was putting a coat on Sandra. Courtney tried to ask them what was going on, but Perry just told her to stay at the house with Grandma. Once they were gone, Courtney's eyes widened in realization and she smiled brightly. "I'm gonna be a sister!"ParaNorman Fanfic - Norman's Life3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

"Looks like she found your little doll."
"Yes, the vermin showed it to her " the Other Mother came up to the Blithe Hollow Witch, who was staring intently at a crystal orb. "She's going to warn him." The Witch pointed out, unimpressed. "He would've found out eventually anyways. Besides, it's already served its purpose." The Other Mother snapped her fingers, and in an instant the Norman doll flew in through the open window, landing in the Other Mother's hands. "Thanks to your spell, of course." She added, tossing the doll aside as it started to glow. "Now we just have to get them here." "And what luck that the snake took away his memory." The Witch smirked. "Oh, if only she had taken Coraline's as well." The Other Mother sighed, pouting. "Perhaps she will." The Witch pointed out. "We just have watch and wait."

--Coraline's POV--
Norman had eventually gone back to his room to get some rest, but even though she tried, Coraline couldn't do the same. She didn't want to have another nightmare, and that was for a few reasons. First off was the fact that it was after all a nightmare, and no one enjoys those. Second was that she didn't Norman to worry about her again. She found it a little unnecessary, really. He was already nervous about the house, and he didn't need to be up all night worrying about her as well. So Coraline decided that the safest option was to stay awake. Luckily she didn't feel all that tired anymore anyways.
After lying in bed for a while thinking, she decided to explore the room a little. She didn't find much, though. That is, until she got to the closet. It creaked open, and at first she saw nothing. That is, until she looked down. There was a fain green glow, small and barely noticeable, coming from underneath some boxes. She moved the boxes a

--Norman's POV--
Norman suddenly jolted awake, staring at his bed sheets. He lifted his head up a little and turned to look at his clock. Midnight. What had woken him up this late? He couldn't remember if he had a bad dream or if it was something else, but after a moment or two he decided it didn't really matter, so he tried to go back to sleep. It didn't work.
He tried everything he could think of, but for some reason he couldn't go back to sleep. After awhile he had enough and screamed into his pillow in annoyance. He took the pillow off his head and started looking around the room for more options. "There has to be something else "
When he looked forward, a gleam of light caught his eye, making him blink rapidly and put his hand up in front of the gleam to cover his eyes. He glanced under his hand slightly to see that there was something across from his bed. He raised an eyebrow and got out of bed, trying to get a better look at what it was

--Norman's POV--
Norman felt bad for lying. Sure, he barely knew this girl, but still. He didn't want his ghost friends to feel like they meant nothing to him. They were already ignored by everyone else, they didn't need the one person who could actually see and talk to them to be ignoring them, too. He was taken out of his thoughts when the girl spoke up yet again. "Anyway " she started. "My name's Coraline. What's yours?" Coraline extended a hand to him, waiting for him to shake it. He hesitated, then shook her hand her question. "Norman." He answered the question simply. "Well, then " They let go of each other's hands as she continued. "Nice to meet you, Norman!"
He smiled at her, about to return the comment when he suddenly heard one of his ghost friends, the pilot, yell at another ghost, who ended up being Mr Pranderghast. Norman turned slightly to face them, giving a 'What on earth are you doing?!' look to them both. "Sorry 'bout that, N

"Oh, god How long has he had this?"
"How do you know he even knew about it, let alone had it with him?"
"Because he's the one that threw it!"
Coraline paced back and forth, staring down at the doll. The Cat just watched her, flicking his tail. "I'd calm down if I were you." He told her calmly. "Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down? I just learned not only that the Other Mother is back, but that she has somehow gotten both me and Norman to her world, and we're BOTH TARGETS!" Coraline held the doll out to the Cat to prove her point. "And as if that wasn't enough, someone's helping her! Lucky us!" she slumped down on the bed in annoyance, glancing down at the doll again. "You aren't going to get anywhere by sulking." The Cat explained, jumping up next to her. Coraline stayed silent, thinking about it. The Cat waited to see if she'd say anything, then continued. "For all you know, he needs you right now." He told her. She

The Witch crossed her arms angrily, rolling her eyes. "And it was going so well " she moaned in disappointment. She shrugged, no longer caring, and turned to the Other Mother. "They're on their way here, though it might take awhile for them to arrive." She explained. "We'll bring them here once they're ripe for the picking." The Other Mother smirked. "After all, I created this world, which means they get here when we decide." "True But it'll get quite boring if they just walk on and on " the Witch answered, thinking. "Don't worry."

PRLog - Feb. 28, 2013 - JAMAICA, N.Y. -- Based on his own experience, Walt F.J. Goodridge, author of Turn Your Passion Into Profit has published a prequel entitled Ducks in a Row??? Please. How to find the courage to finally QUIT your soul-draining, life-sapping, energy-depleting, freedom-
"I felt like a piece of my soul was dying every day," Goodridge recalls of his seven years employed as a civil engineer suffering what he calls 'corporate captivity' for seven years. "Eventually, however, through a series of empowering experiences and epiphanies, I found the courage to walk away, with no savings or experience at real entrepreneurial success."
As he mastered what it required to be a self-supporting entrepreneur, Goodridge experienced evictions, had his electricity disconnected and slept on friends' couches for a time. However, he credits those lean years as providing the transformation that was ultimately necessary for his success. The short book, designed for quick reading and re-reading, offers 7 chapters including "Compelling reasons why you need to quit your job now," "Quack!
Goodridge adds, "The hardest part, however, was coming to the point mentally to physically write and hand in my resignation letter. I discovered it's not about the ducks at all. All success in life is about finding the courage and discipline to do something you need to do whether the ducks are arranged the way you want them to be or not! That's what this book will teach you."
