A Look at Chris Isaak ticketsSinger, songwriter, musician, actor Chris Isaak established a reputation as a riveting, engaging and popular live performer early in his career. Born in Stockton, California, in 1956, Isaak grew up listening and idolizing Elvis Presley. He moved to San Francisco after graduating from the University of the Pacific, and formed the rockabilly group Silvertone, with drummer Kenney Dale Johnson and bassist Rowland Salley, who continue to play with Isaak today. Issak signed with Warner Bros. records and released his first album, Silvertone in 1985, a critical and commercial success, especially when the song 'Gone Ridin'' was featured in the 1986 David Lynch cult classic film Blue Velvet. It was Isaak's third album, Heart Shaped World, with the Top 10 hit single 'Wicked Game' that boosted his name internationally. Filmmaker David Lynch again helped Isaak's cause by featuring the song in his 1990 movie Wild at Heart. Meanwhile, Isaak continued to stage his romping live shows and performing his songs with a velvet voice and emotion that cuts to the bone. Chris Isaak tickets are a chance to see a seasoned performer who knows how to command an audience and gives a satisfying delivery every show. Fans of Isaak might have recognized his mug on the big screen. In the late 1980s, as his music career was taking off, Isaak began appearing in films, beginning with 1988's Married to the Mob, a comedy starring Michelle Pfeiffer, and several television appearances. Still, it's on stage, live, where Chris Isaak is at his best.

Tito, historically, has also had a boring but effective style. However, Tito had a personality/persona that generated excitement (or hatred) on the part of fans.
Style: Ronin wannabe--
I keep saying with Machida: I don't care if a round in one of his fights contains 4 minutes of dead time, because the 5-6 times he engages for those 45 sec.-1 min. are a blaze of technical skill and unorthodox technique that no one's been able to match yet.
Machida's one of the few fighters that actually makes fights more interesting by not being aggressive all the time. The tension builds to an incredible level because he's so quick and technical that he can completely change the momentum of the fight with a single stop-jab. He's basically a cobra in human form.

Click Chick: It's the most wonderful time of the year for film fans
This is the time of the year when most of the movies that are Oscar bait are released. What's getting lots of buzz? The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi and Les Miserables. Speaking of Les Miz, that film apparently got a standing ovation at a recent New York screening, according to IB Times. Take a look at the international trailer:
More Downton News: Last week I gave you the big news that Downton Abbey has been renewed for a fourth season. However, we've learned a major character -aka Cousin Matthew and heir to the Earl of Grantham and the man who'd get the title and the house will reportedly leave the show. So says the MSN.
New Biopic in the Works: They're making a movie about Wikileaks. It will show the rise of Wikileaks and a serious falling out its lead partners, reports to CinemaBlend. Sounds like the Facebook movie plot if you ask me.
Lohan Can Do Better: Entertainment Weekly says Linday Lohan "did Elizabeth Taylor wrong" in that Liz & Dick made for TV movie. And from what I saw, I can't totally disagree. People called her "fascinating, yet terrible."
Chris Brown's Twitter War: Troubled R&B singer Chris Brown has taken down his Twitter account following a nasty feud with comedienne Jenny Johnson, says NY Daily News. He tweeted that he looked old. She said yes, that happens when you're a worthless... fill in the blank folks. He retaliated and the Twitter war began. He then deactivated his account. In other Twitter news, Rihanna did tweet a photo of him lounging on his Bart Simpson sheets over the Thanksgiving weekend - even though the pair swear they aren't seeing each other, reports the HuffPo. She needs an intervention. Stat.
Game of Thrones, Comedy Style: Someone took the time to give Game of Thrones the Seinfeld treatment. The Wrap breaks it down.
Saying No to Spielberg: Even the best get told no. Take Steven Spielberg for example. He wanted to direct a film in the Bond series. But was told no. At least, that's according former Bond actor Roger Moore in an interview with the Daily Mail. He went off and made the Indiana Jones series instead and well - we all know how that went.
Cameron Diaz Jaw Dropping Quote: You make your own call about this Cameron Diaz quote The Insider found: "I think every woman does want to be objectified. There's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it's healthy."

Betty Ann Brown was born May 15, 1949 in Roswell, NM, to Chester Cecil and Margaret (Owens) Standridge. She passed from this life on Monday, May 16, 2011 in Broken Bow at the age of 62. Betty married Charles Lester Brown on December 31, 1965 in Battiest at the Battiest Baptist Church. She was a homemaker and very dedicated to her Lord and family. Betty was a member of the One Creek Valley Church in Finley. It was there that she was very active in the children's church ministry and would cook for them on Wednesday nights before church.

I liked this a lot, overall. It works really well blended with other blushes that have a golden shimmer (like orgasm). I've had this for two years, used it often, and barely made a dent in it. It's still my favorite nighttime highlighter even though the gold glow is too obvious and unnatural in sunlight.
NARS Albatross Highlighting Blush ($28.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a "sheer, light golden sheen." The base color is a a pale, almost cool-toned ivory and then it has a healthy dose of light-medim gold shimmer-sheen. MAC Lightscapade doesn't have as strong of a golden sheen, and it has a slightly pinker base color. MAC Chez Chez Lame is more golden and beige. MAC Too Chic is more beige and uniform. theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer is much more golden.

Set of 3 Compression Bags 6 6
Great Quality We used these bags for a 3-week trip to Spain. The sizing was just right for our needs. They roll up easily, and because they are thick and pliable, I wasn't worried that a small hole would appear and cause the suction to reduce. (Other bags I've used have been brittle and didn't last very long.) I even used them when I had finished at the laundromat, which made it easy to keep our clothing organized. I like them so much that I'm buying another set! July 8, 2013
Jury is Out on this one I'm not sure these bags are all they are meant to be. I bought these to take on a 3 week European trip to save room in my suitcase. I put a couple of items in the Med. one to see how they work. They seem to keep filling back up with air. I'm going to keep trying, but it's not looking good. This is disappointing. May 8, 2014
I bought the compression bags to use in my carry-on luggage for an upcoming trip. The bags were too big. I'm sure the bags would work well in other circumstances. June 13, 2013
Travel Perfect These bags are great, particularly if your luggage is opened. Keeps clothing neat and clean. June 2, 2014
Very useful my husband and I travelled 2 weeks in Italy with just carry on luggage and these bags were very useful. We shared the set and were very glad we had them. Gave a set as a Christmas present and know it will also be appreciated. December 27, 2013
Great for packing laundry I used these to put our dirty laundry in at the end of our vacation. Rolled the air out and they condensed nicely. Great for keeping the "worn" separate from the "not worn" or clean clothes in your suitcase. August 27, 2013

Nikki DeMass, a Savannah River Remediation college summer intern, has always had a love for science.
Growing up, DeMass wanted to be a high-school science teacher. At age 8, her father took her family to see a space shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral. Two years later, she witnessed a second launch.
"We learned about the shuttle launches and got as close to the takeoff site as we were allowed," DeMass said. "It was an amazing sight I will always remember."
It is no surprise that DeMass would choose to continue her scientific enrichment throughout college. An Aiken native and 2012 Aiken High School graduate, she is a rising sophomore at Clemson University, majoring in chemical engineering.
"I really enjoyed chemistry in high school," DeMass said. "But after talking to both chemists and chemical engineers about what they do in their everyday jobs, I thought chemical engineering better suited my personality. I like problem-solving, working with people and seeing how every part of a large process comes together to accomplish a goal."
DeMass is one of 43 college interns at SRR. She learned about SRR and this internship opportunity through engineers in the Aiken community. Interns were chosen based on relevant work experience, their year in school and their grade-point averages.
DeMass is assigned to Process Integration, a group involved in the cleaning and operational closure of Tank 12. Currently, the tank is undergoing an acid cleaning to remove more of the waste. One of DeMass's responsibilities is to help monitor and consolidate some of the data as it is collected from the Tank 12 cleaning.
DeMass is managed and mentored by Carol Sherburne and Christie Sudduth. She attributes her positive experience thus far to her mentors' efforts to make her feel like she is part of the team.
"My mentors were very welcoming to me from my first day out here," said DeMass. "They have done an excellent job making me feel included and assigning work that gives me satisfaction and is useful to the projects."
She believes her experience at SRR will be valuable in her future endeavors.
"This internship is giving me work experience that I will be able to use in a career," said DeMass. "I also think it has helped me gain a better understanding of what I may want to do in the future and is allowing me to learn engineering concepts that will help me with my studies at Clemson."

The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit has taken three suspects into custody and expects more arrests in connection with a meth lab that was in operation at the time of the discovery. Agents acting on a tip found an active meth lab at a residence at 124 Chris Lane, near U.S. 17-A & Farrell St. Moncks Corner, according to a statement released by BCSO Thursday afternoon. Deputies smelled a strong chemical odor and observed a thick white cloud coming from inside the house, according to BCSO. Agents identified the odor and white smoke as a product of a meth lab. A search warrant was executed on the residence where agents located an active meth lab in the kitchen, along with methamphetamine components and paraphernalia throughout the house. Arrested was Bryan Allen Adkins, 26, of 124 Chris Lane, Mathew Benjamin Legette, 32, of 360 Volunteer Lane, Summerville and Brittney Dane Euthon, 23, of 310 Bayboro Circle, Goose Creek. All were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and are being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center awaiting bond hearings. Agents say more arrests are expected in this case.

CHONBURI, Thailand — Stacy Lewis shot a 3-under 69 Friday to keep her three-stroke lead after the second round of the LPGA Thailand.
Lewis had five birdies and two bogeys to follow up her 63 Thursday for a 12-under 132 total, replicating her 2012 form that made her the first American to win the LPGA Player of the Year award since Beth Daniel in 1994.
"It's always hard to follow up a really good day. I thought if I could shoot 4 or 5 under that would still be a really solid day. I almost got there but it was kind of up and down – I definitely left a few out there," said Lewis, who is looking for her first title since the 2012 Mizuno Classic. "I didn't hit it as good today, but I made some putts on the back nine and still have a three-shot lead, so I can't complain."
Thai teenager Ariya Jutanugarn shot a 66 to move into second place.
Kim takes lead on Web.com Tour
PANAMA CITY — After two rounds at the Panama Claro Championship, Dae-Hyun Kim holds a two-shot lead at 7-under.
Kim shot a 2-under 70 on Friday, which included five birdies and three bogeys. He leads Kevin Foley and Len Mattiace, who shot a 5-under 65 that included an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole.
North Augusta and USC Aiken product Scott Brown carded an even-par 70 to land in a tie for 20th place at 2-under, and South Aiken and Georgia alum Kevin Kisner missed the cut after a 3-over 73 left him at 3-over for the week.

Prayer 101
We Also Recommend
For religious Jews, prayer is an obligation, fulfilled several times daily by reciting a prescribed liturgy containing praise of God, requests, and expressions of appreciation. The texts and practices of prayer, while broadly common to all Jewish communities, vary according to local customs, ethnic origins, and ideologies. The study of Jewish prayer thus affords insights into the history and anthropology of the Jews and an introduction to Jewish theology.
Themes and Theology
Jews pray for various reasons, categorizable as communication with God and communion with other Jews. As communication with God, Jewish prayer–in forms cast in antiquity and reshaped by succeeding generations–gives expression to the values and the needs of individuals and of the Jewish people. Jews give thanks to the Creator for the wonders of the universe, express loyalty to the One who imparts instruction ("Torah") about bringing holiness into one's life, and ask for the Redeemer to heal the wounds suffered by body and soul. As communion with other Jews, prayer gathers the community for collective introspection and instruction–and strengthens Jewish social bonds.
The Synagogue
This institution began as the Jewish community's gathering-place, whose primary function was the public recitation of Scriptures. After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, daily communal prayer soon became an established Jewish practice, and it too took place in the synagogue. The complexity of Jewish prayer and the expectation that prayer-leaders demonstrate musical training and improvisational ability led to the creation of a cadre of trained cantors, whose profession continues even now to enrich synagogue life.
Rabbis, on the other hand, were originally teachers of Torah independent of synagogue affiliation. Only in modern times, as the synagogue has developed into a voluntary membership association, have most practicing rabbis become employees of synagogues. Although synagogue buildings are equipped similarly worldwide, there is no independent tradition of synagogue architecture or interior design.

Am not sure if this is an answer, just an observation after seeing your original question.
I think the # to the left means number of new posts contained within the number of unread threads ( the right #). Thus if I see 27/17 it might possibly mean there are 27 new posts are contained within 17 threads I have not read. Sometimes the left # will go down by several if that thread contained more than one new post. ( opening a thread which has three new posts would make the number become 24/16.

Jordan is waving his magical wand once again. Thank you!! And while I'm at it: Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! Love and green lights.
Hope That I am not beating a dead horse , or Irritating Ms. Mod too much but....
Maybe we could have 'signatures' for "Uber Members" only; (or Seniors) . Or maybe for any member thats been on board for more then 2 years.-- Something like that.
...so that the work load (for Ms Mod) would be minimal .
It could be a 'Badge' of sorts, for very active members. A rite of passage, An award.
A signature could be approved ONCE and then the member could NOT CHANGE IT EVER!!! so that Ms. Mod wouldn't have to check each one EACH AND EVERY TIME. The member would not be able to use any Sig' other then the approved one (or to change it). It would be a one-shot deal....meaning one time approval .
The signatures would be text-only and less then 100 characters (see below)
I'll take it under consideration.
If signatures are authorised can we please make sure they aren't
Things like that are fine occasionally but seeing them all the time would drive me even more bonkers than I am now. Does anybody really want that on their conscience? Arrggghhhh!!!

Men's Soccer Shuts Down PS Beaver, 8-0
- Release Date:
- September 16, 2012

- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY - The Hilbert's men's soccer team produced an impressive 8-0 win over the visiting Penn State Beaver Lions, extending their win streak to two. The Hawks found ways to get good looks at the net as ten different players earned points in the game. The defensive unit for Hilbert played a solid match limiting Beaver to only three shots in the non-conference win.
Jonathan Davison broke the scoreless tie in the 25th minute when he settled a punted ball from goal keeper Paul Liedkie, and went hard to the frame for his second goal in as many games. (see the video on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hilbert-College-Athletics/186274074776971)
Recently added to the squad and didn't waste time to have an impact, Matt Kane hustled to the front of the frame and dumped Austin Mathis' centering pass in for his first collegiate score. Then just over two minutes later, in the 44th minute, Kane cleared the ball to Yonis Osman who walked in one-on-one. Hilbert won every loose ball and went to half time with a 3-0 advantage.
The second half started out with a bang! Hilbert's Jordan Lynch {#11 in photo} netted his first goal less than one minute into the half off a pass from Matt Saxton. Lynch's second of the day came when he buried a crossbar rebounded ball in the 69th minute. Hilbert's Jon Flowers, and Mario Williams padded the lead with unassisted scores before Will Strehlow's hard kick to the back of the net finished the scoring.
The Hawks outshot Beaver 35-3 and dominated the end line with a 12-3 corner kick advantage. Paul Liedkie's roll continued in goal today. He earned his second consecutive shutout and his first assist.
Hilbert's next game will be Wednesday September 19th at Hilbert College against Thiel College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Sounds like Google might be taking a Page out of what TechCrunch suggested
I would do the same as well given the bad blood between these two companies. Eventually though Google will give them a maps App because they want all the data from iOS users as well, they be crazy to leave out that huge market.
Google reportedly didn't expect Apple to ditch their maps so soon, still months away from releasing new app
Apple has a year left on their most recent Google Maps agreement, apparently, and didn't expect Apple to remove them from iOS 6 and launch a new app anywhere near this soon. Meaning, Google was caught flat-footed and won't be ready to ship a standalone Google Maps app for the App Store for several more months. This according to a quartet of stories published today.
Kevin Krolicki of Reuters scored a quote from Google Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt:
"We think it would have been better if they had kept [our maps]. But what do I know?" Schmidt told a small group of reporters in Tokyo. "What were we going to do, force them not to change their mind? It's their call."
Schmidt also said Android was kicking the iPhone's butt, yet doesn't enjoy the same kind of media attention obsessively lavished on Apple. So there.
Bloomberg also got a quote from Schmidt at the same Tokyo Nexus event:
"We haven't done anything yet with Google Maps," Schmidt told reporters in Tokyo today. Apple would "have to approve it. It's their choice," Schmidt said, declining to say if the Mountain View, California-based company submitted an application to Apple for sale through its App Store.
Chris Ziegler of The Verge, meanwhile, says Google was caught off-guard by Apple's timing:
Apple's decision to ship its own mapping system in the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 was made over a year before the company's agreement to use Google Maps expired, according to two independent sources familiar with the matter. The decision, made sometime before Apple's WWDC event in June, sent Google scrambling to develop an iOS Google Maps app — an app which both sources say is still incomplete and currently not scheduled to ship for several months.
And Nick Wingfield and Claire Cain Miller of the New York Times says making the standalone Google Maps app will be complicated, firstly because they already have a Google Earth app and will need to figure out if they're going to consolidate it into maps, but also...
Google's contract with Apple to keep the maps app on the iPhone had more time remaining, and Google did not know that Apple had changed its mind until Apple said publicly in June that it would replace the app with its new maps app, according to two people briefed on the decision.
Though, frankly, if Google only figured out Apple was rolling their own mapping solution when it was announced at WWDC, they're clearly reading the wrong blogs... The moment Apple bought its first mapping company, PlaceBase back in July of 2009 alarm bells should have been going off for Google -- giant, neon alarm bells -- and they should have immediately begun a skunkworks project to have a standalone iOS app ready and waiting for just such a turn of events. Seriously, it's like watching someone wind up a punch with cartoon-like exaggeration and not even preparing to counterpunch until knuckle starts denting jaw.
In any case, iOS 6 users will have to keep offering corrections to Apple's database, and those desperate to get Google Maps back onto their iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads will likely be stuck using maps.google.com for the next few months still, and that's unfortunate.

Google reportedly didn't expect Apple to ditch their maps so soon, still months away from releasing new app
Sounds like Google might be taking a Page out of what TechCrunch suggested
Are you really that daft or what? Why would Google potentially want to lose out on millions of Maps users, all the while allowing a new maps competitor?
It's more likely that Apple was getting sick of Google and Android really monopolizing a lot of the mobile phone app and ecosystem, and decided they would strike fast and quick.
So what they did was design their own maps app, buy a bunch of mapping companies and leave Google out in the cold.
Google got millions of dollars licensing the maps API to Apple. It also made millions of dollars licensing the Google Maps API to iOS developers that also used maps or mapping services. Now, they are left out it and Apple will reap all the revenue.
So keep that in mind. All those restaurant apps, traffic apps, train and ferry apps, used Google Maps API, and now google cannot license it to them.
Are there any particular reasons why it would benefit a developer to license through Apple, rather than Google? If Google's maps are superior, I would think they'd continue putting google map data in their apps.
So they need the iOS data (data = $) but are leaving iOS users hanging for bad Apple PR (bad PR != direct money).
I doubt it.
Of course they do. People are complaining about how bad Apple Maps are. Let it stay like that for a few more months and guaranteed when Google Maps is released for iOS, it will be headlines.
If Google had submitted an app by launch it wouldn't be as big.
Good for Google.
Yes, I use iOS. I have an iPhone 4S (Second Line) and an iPad 64GB (Verizon LTE Model). So don't be calling me a fandroid. :p
No, this is a really bad idea. You will notice that the TechCrunch article offers no real reasoning on why this would be great other than a bit of fantasy about what people will "feel" about Apple and Google based on the authors surmises/guesses. This is the kind of advice that idiots who don't actually run anything give.
Google maps is a horrible experience and has an awful UI on the web, I would bet that their iOS app when it arrives will be similarly handicapped. It will have adverts and a poorly designed UI just like all of their stuff and if they don't get it out there soon, it will not stack up well against the Apple product.
Remember, Apple has already beaten them on the one aspect of Maps that they focussed on for the initial release ... turn by turn. Apple's overall maps product is crap now, but it will be refined quite quickly and has a better base than googles efforts to build on.
I am torn. The first article I read (on a different site) I thought I read a headline that said one year and "several months" in the article. I read it wrong, but it got me to thinking. This article says the DECISION was made with over a year left.
There is a possibility that, since only Apple knows its iOS roadmap, that this all could be a timing issue. Perhaps their agreement with Google ends 6/30 or 7/31, or even 8/31 of 2013. That all is technically over a year from "the Desicion"
Apple isn't going to introduce a brand new Apple branded Maps app in a point release. It is, and should be treated as, a tent pole. Maybe had they maintained a summer release, Apple Maps would not have been introduced until iOS 7, and Google would have been ready to go with a stand alone app (I still think they are further along than they are letting on. I find the timing coincidental. I predict they will have a Google Maps app by January, but can play this "Apple Maps sucks" card through the holiday season.
I know that Apple has, through its own marketing and keynotes, and, more importantly, past performance, created a "zero tolerance" for these types of issues. But the fact is, Schmidt is right, Apple gets more press coverage/obsession than Android. In other words, anything not 100% from Apple is a controversy-gate. They are a victim of their own success.
I dont know about him, but I used maps daily for work. For the two years I've had my Iphone 4 I used maps daily. I haven't used it more than a few days. I type in full addresses, and cant find it. Or if I am somewhere I have never been to before and I pull maps up to see whats around. NOTHING IS LISTED. I pull up maps.google. And guess what, stores and food places show up instantly.
It's junk. I now use my actual GPS to go where I need to.
If you have a gps why would you use your phone anyway?
Maybe the supermarkets not being there is "where the puck is" and Apple is skating their.
That's what I'm saying, everybody is in uproar and screaming the want google maps back, but our app sucked it was useless for navigating with no turn by turn, just having that makes ios maps worth it to me. Just my 2 cents.
Alas, Android users have been getting the turn by turn voice direction from Google Maps for years now. :) Hm, I wonder why... Anyway, despite the lack of turn by turn; Google Maps is still preferred because most people who search for "coffee" want to see all of the coffee shops nearby, not just Starbucks. That goes for all other businesses/small businesses. Of course, that is only one of many weaknesses of Apple maps.
Presumably apple:
- knows both the length and terms of its map contract with google;
- knows it's iOS roadmap;
- benchmarks both the free and paid features available through competitors and potential suppliers;
- practices "futuring", or as Steve said, "skating to where the puck will be" (and these days apple is, arguably, the puck;
- has unlimited resources to create, expand and defend a product or crush a competitor;
So why launch an immature product (having, yes, one nice unique feature) which is inept at its basic function (clear maps) and missing many if the basic function and interface features found in products of this type (I'm in Europe, and, even set to english, Siri can't even reasonably pronounce street names or avoid a bizarre sentence structure ).
If they really needed to dump google like a hot potato(e), they have more than enough money to have either bought tomtom or mapquest, or licensed them for the next year as a transitional solution until a home-grown map feature was ready for prime time.
If the facts surrounding the situation are reflective of the true nature of things, then the whole situation is endemic of a lack of clarity of purpose, and ignorance of or indifference to customer-oriented decision-making.
Maybe this is why the maps feature, to me, feels less like "surprise and delight" and more like "shock and disappointment"... I feel embarrassed that since WWDC I have been talking-up this product and software release, with intent to replace my 4s, as well as convincing several family members and friends, that the 5w/6 was going to be the Bee's Knees, and now all this mediocrity.
SteveWozniak says Apple Maps disappointing but issues not severe. I agree, put your final destination into perspective. http://t.co/SjDuRQiM
That's not how you do business. Why should they have started a maps app in 2009 based on a purchase? It makes no sense to do so when they had 4 years left on a contract. A purchase does not show intent to break a contract.
I'd bet next year, within the last year of the contract, they would have started preparing a maps app so once done they would have been ready to launch.
worst maps ever made good 1 apple, cant wait until google gets maps into the store.
This new information makes the decision to move to Apple's in-house maps app, even more infuriating to me. If there was still a year left on the licensing agreement, and Apple wanted to crowd-source their data collection, then they should have released an optional public beta through the app store, so the majority of users didn't have their maps experience nerfed.
To me, this is a perfect example of Apple cutting off its nose to spite the face. Great, they were able to cut out Google, but at what cost? Providing a subpar mapping program to their customers?
What further frustrates me, is that Apple customers are defending them. What I expect from Apple, is for them to release products that "just work" out of the box. They have gotten to their current position in the market, by providing a first-class experience for their customers. In their rush to release their own (let's use Rene's term here) "halfbaked" solution, they provided a less than stellar experience for many users, and left transit users out in the cold. Until their solution was on par, or better than their existing licensed solution, it never should have been forced on the public.
"..., sent Google scrambling to develop an iOS Google Maps app — an app which both sources say is still incomplete and currently not scheduled to ship for several months."
This quote from The Verge doesn't make any sense. Does anyone really think it would take Google "several months" to complete a mapping application for iOS? First, they already created one. Second, they have some of the best software engineers in the world. It's just another iOS app, like all the other mapping/navigation apps in the App Store.
i love the new apple maps app just saying :)
Since I started with my online business I earn $62 every 15 minutes. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don't check it out. Red97.com
I think this is a necessary move for Apple that will benefit all iOS users. I've tested it against my car's nav and the Navigon app installed on my iPhone. The only problem has been going pass the destination and making a U-Turn to come back. I like it a lot. It's beautiful and smooth and I like to use it. However, in its current state, it's a good beta and definately not a finished product. Over time, it will present a formidable challenge to Google Maps. Stay tuned.
Stop complaining i bet none of you are using the app to report problems to get them fixed, your just running to blogs to bitch and complain. Be part of the solution or go get an Android phone. Who in their right mind thought the new maps would be better than Google maps from day one anyway?
What an absolutely silly point of view. Imagine if you bought a new car and a year after the purchase the manufacturer decided to swap out the navigation system you paid for with one that had less features and an enormous amount of bugs. Then imagine that you found out the only reason they did so was just to spite a competitor. Would you be happy about that? Just imagine if I were to tell you to stop being angry about it or go buy another car. That would be pretty stupid wouldn't it? Well that is how you sound. We as the customers have the RIGHT to complain and be angry when Apple does idiotic things like this. If you can't handle that then maybe the internet, or life itself, isn't for you.
Personally, I rarely used Google Maps on my iPhone because it had no turn by turn voice.. I have been using Apple Maps all over my city with no issues!
I'll never need Google Maps again!
GOOGLE is being spiteful? Hmmm.. Wow.
Maybe for people in the US and the countries that are among the first to have iPhone 5 released, Apple Maps are good enough. But for the rest of the world, it's no where near usable. Can't search for places, entire sections of cities missing... It's those people who are fcked up over Apple's decision to push a half baked mapping solution.
We ask why didn't Apple allow an alternate mapping solution, at least until it finishes its product. You may point to many paid maps as an alternative, but in many places, Google Maps is pretty much the best one out there, with Nokia Maps being on par sometimes
I really like the new maps and the turn by turn directions. As far as the new maps not showing whats near me....I could really care less. I can use Poynt or just tell Siri what I'm looking for and she will guide me in the right direction.

Captain of investigations Earl Humphries said James Parker of Stallings Road was arrested Feb. 11 and charged with murder. Humphries said the Jones County Sheriff's Department received a 911 call at approximately 7 a.m. the day of the arrest from a neighbor of Parker's reporting that there had been an incident at 410 Stallings Road NW.
The captain said, when deputies arrived at the scene, Parker was still there and looked like he had been in a fight. He directed the officers into the home where they found 61-year-old Alan Helmuth dead due to some sort of violence.
Humphries said he is 99 percent sure that the death was caused by a gunshot from a small caliber gun.
"Because of the other injuries to Mr. Helmuth, we are awaiting confirmation from the crime lab," he said.
Humphries said from the condition of both men, his assessment of what happened was that they had a 'real good fight' and at some point Parker shot Helmuth.

LGBT groups form coalitionWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Several groups promoting Toledo's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community have formed a coalition to better support their causes and events, organizers said.
The Toledo Area Rainbow Coalition (TARC) is made up of many groups, including Holiday with Heart; Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays Toledo; Pride Toledo; Equality Toledo; Spectrum of University of Toledo; the Pride of Toledo Foundation; and the Toledo Area Gay and Lesbian Affiliation.
"The coalition is here to work as a whole here in Toledo to promote and support the gay community. We have so many specific groups within the gay and lesbian community and we're all doing our own thing, but we've never really come together as one to support events and ideas," said Rick Cornett, one of the organizers for the annual charity event Holiday with Heart.
"We still have some work to do. We still have a lot of groups that we want involved," said Lexi Staples, director of the Pride of Toledo Foundation.
The coalition's first event is set for 7 p.m. June 8 at the Collingwood Arts Center, 2413 Collingwood Blvd. Drinks will be served followed by a viewing of a documentary about the Gay Games, a large cultural and sporting event. Sky Light Financial Group is the sponsor of the free screening.
Gay Games 9 is set for Aug. 9-16, 2014,
in Cleveland. Registration for the all-inclusive games will be available at the June 8
Toledo event.
"We're trying to get a lot of representation from Northwest Ohio [at the Gay Games]. Gay Games is really cool in the sense that it's been going on for a really, really long time," Staples said. "It's crazy that it's happening in Ohio."
Cornett and Staples said TARC is also hoping to put together a community events calendar in the future.
"The possibilities are endless," Staples said of the new coalition.

While it was a nice surprise to receive this basket as an anniversary gift it was disappointing to open the walnut flavored cookies as well as the "Sea Salt & Olive Oil" crackers to find them in small pieces. [These crackers are rather tasteless and take up way too much space in this basket anyway.] The bagel chips and the Italian toast also contained many broken pieces. The boxes for these products were not smashed or in anyway damaged so it would seem that these items were already broken when they were packed in the basket. Does this mean that the suppliers are at fault? I have attached photos ot the crackers and cookies.

Disappointed with late delivery of Anniversary Present
By Walter
from Caguas, Puerto Rico
Even though we had paid for delivery by Anniversary Date, no notice was given of intent to deliver by UPS, St. Louis. Finally received about 4 days after Anniversary date.Recipient, my son, had to call pick up because we had informed him that he should have received the basket.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Bonnie
from Rye, NY
The basket arrived exactly on time, was beautifully arranged, and the recipients loved it as well as the container it came in, which they plan to reuse because it's too pretty to throw away.
Poor customer service
By Tammy
from Troy, IL
Product confirmation said it would be delivered by 10am on the requested date. When it had not arrived by 6pm, I called customer service only to be brushed off with an answer of deliveries could be made as late as 7pm. I placed this order a week ahead of time to insure it would arrive on the correct date. It was finally delivered the next evening after 730. The occasion was over and the surprise ruined. And it did not look like the online photo.
Recipients loved It so much!
By Lee
from Orlando, Fl
Awesome. Recipients was blown away by the presentation. Products were of high quality. Taste was excellent and delivery was on time. It was loved by them and it was more than they expected and then some. Great job!

WASHINGTON — A combative President Barack Obama blamed Republican lawmakers today for failing to stop automatic spending cuts that were to begin kicking in later in the day, calling the cuts "dumb, arbitrary."
Republicans said the fault was his, for insisting that increased taxes be part of the resolution.
The president said the impact of the cuts won't immediately be felt, but middle class families will begin to "have their lives disrupted in significant ways." He said that as long as the cuts stay in effect, Americans will know that the economy could have been better had they been averted."The pain, though, will be real," Obama said.
"This is not a win for anybody. This is a loss for the American people," he said.
Obama, pressed on whether he bears some of the responsibility for the stalemate, expressed frustration. "Give me an example of what I might do," he challenged reporters.
"I am not a dictator. I'm the president," he said. He added that he can't do a "Jedi mind-meld" or use any "special sauce" to get Republicans to negotiate.
"I can't force Congress to do the right thing," Obama said.
He said he still believed the cuts could be replaced but he wanted a deal that includes more tax revenue by closing "wasteful" loopholes. He said it may take a couple of weeks or couple of months to find a fix for the impasse.
"Let's be clear: None of this is necessary," Obama said. "It's happening because of a choice that Republicans in Congress have made. We shouldn't be making a series of dumb, arbitrary cuts to things."
Obama met at the White House this morning with House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
Boehner's office said he and McConnell told Obama they're willing to close tax loopholes but only to lower taxes overall, not to replace spending cuts. Obama and congressional leaders have agreed that Congress should pass a bill funding the government beyond the end of March while they keep working on a way to replace the spending cuts, Boehner's office said.
"The president got his tax hikes on January 1st," Boehner said bluntly after the meeting with Obama. "The discussion about revenue in my view is over. It's about taking on the spending problem here in Washington."
On Thursday, two proposals aimed at blunting the blame over the cuts — one Democratic and the other Republican — were rejected in the Senate.
The meeting today was the first the two sides have had this year on the budget battle, and it lasted under an hour. Asked whether he couldn't get the parties in a room and stay there until they reach a deal, he noted that McConnell left the meeting early to catch a plane.
"I can't have Secret Service block the doorway," Obama said.

Rep. Bill Clyburn was presented the first Marion Carnell Award by the South Carolina Primary Health Care Association.
The award is given in recognition of a person, who over an extended period, has shown extraordinary support for community health centers, their patients and mission.
The award is named for the late Rep. Marion Carnell who served in the House of Representatives for over 40 years. During his years of service, he was committed to providing services to people with special needs and especially to those that society had forgotten.
He was a patient and Board member at the Carolinas Health.
Clyburn has served House District 82, which includes Aiken, Edgefield and Saluda counties, since 1995.
He has served his community as an educator, civic leaders and advocates for underserved populations of Aiken County. As a state representative, he has worked to promote Medicaid services for the uninsured, care for special needs populations and the elderly.
His commitment to ensuring all people have access to quality health services is not a new occurrence. Since his first years of service in the House and long before federal health care reform, he has worked and persuades others to provide help for patients in need.
When it comes to supporting community health centers, he is a "rock," the member the association can always count upon to support centers and their patients.
He has been a strong supporter of state funding for community health centers.
He is a key member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
A quote from Albert Schweitzer that applies to Clyburn is, "The only ones among us who will find true happiness are those who have sought and found a way to serve."
By Schweitzer's definition, Clyburn must be a very happy man.
Clyburn has a lifetime of service to community health centers and all South Carolinians.
Because of his legacy of service and his courage to act on his convictions to serve others, he is most deserving to be the first recipient of the Marion Carnell Award.

Green Enamel Tea Kettle 4 4
It's a great teapot I worried about ordering this after reading a negative review but figured I couldn't go too far wrong with the price of it so I ordered one. It is great. The whistle isn't loud but it's there. The color is just as pictured. It works great! It adds a wonderful, bold pop of color to my kitchen. February 4, 2014
Stylin' Teapot I really like the look and color of this teapot and it whistles too. It doesn't leak from the top when you pour and boils more evenly than my last teapot. August 1, 2013
First one broke, Second one Broke Had to stop to write a review for this tea kettle. It was inexpensive and looked great in my kitchen. I brought the first one home happily but after the first use, the black spout cover/whistle was stuck open, the spring or whatever it was had broken. I couldn't shut it, and thus the kettle didn't whistle or close. I went back and asked for a new one, brought it home, and the whistle fell out of the top in three days. The glue just came undone - I guess, and the metal part fell out. Together with the other review for the blue model that says she returned a dented kettle and received another dented kettle, this tea kettle is clearly a mistake for the World Market. July 4, 2013
What a disappointment Well, I guess the old adage: "you get what you pay for," is sadly true here. This is cheap, cheap, cheap. Cheaply constructed. Cheap materials. A waste of your money. The kettle is made of either tin or aluminum, not sure which and it doesn't really matter. It feels like a fork could puncture it. It's also VERY noisy. Because the metal is so thin, you hear the gas heating the container and then the water. It's as if someone left the faucet on. All in all, this is piece of junk. Don't waste your money!

Brook Parker Bello's first sexual experience happened at age 11, when she was raped.
As a teenager who suffered repeated sexual assault and abuse, Bello fell into alcoholism, ran away from home and was lured into prostitution by a "madam" in Los Angeles. She was eventually arrested in New York and served time in prison for prostitution.
Years later, Bello is sharing the story of her harrowing past in an effort to shed light on the horrors of human trafficking and sex slavery. She has partnered with the International Black Women's Public Policy Institute to produce a documentary that tells her story of survival from human trafficking and her journey of overcoming her past.
On Thursday, Bello brought her story to USC Aiken. Along with a screening of Bello's film, "Survivor: Living Above the Noise," audience members heard a presentation from Bello and a panel discussion that included Chief Charles Barranco of the Aiken Department of Public Safety and former Solicitor Barbara Morgan.
The event was hosted by USCA and The Imani Group, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit S.H.A.R.P. (Sisters Honoring African Rites of Passage). The group for teenage girls is partnered with Clemson University's Youth Learning Institute.
"Human trafficking is an umbrella," Bello said before the screening. "Underneath human trafficking, you have farm workers and house slaves and the sex trade, but they all pretty much go together. ... He or she looks for some child who is broken and in need of something or someone. They're easily enticed by food or clothing, not knowing at all they're going to be pushed into sex slavery."
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, human sex trafficking is the fastest-growing business of organized crime and the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world. The majority of sex trafficking is international, with victims taken from places like South and Southeast Asia, the former Soviet Union, Central and South America and other less developed areas and moved to more developed ones, including the Middle East, Western Europe and North America.
A 2006 U.S. State Department report said 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States annually.
In the film, which premiered at the 65th annual International Film Festival in Cannes, France, Bello travels to the Middle East and shares how she overcame suicidal thoughts, the mental scars and addictions. She also hears other women's stories of abuse, rape, addiction and sex trafficking, and their efforts to recover following their physical freedom.
"It's about life after sex slavery," she said.
Bello said an important part in recovering from sex slavery and trafficking is recovering one's identity from what she called "soul assassination."
"There is no drug, nothing in the world that can give you an identity," she said. "There might not be bleeding and cutting on the brain, but you do not need to be physically violent with blood to ruin a life, to steal a human being – to steal a life."
Cheryl Cummings, a counselor at Stairway Counseling, said she deals regularly with clients who have experienced molestation, rape and abuse.
"The one thing that stood out to me was the courage to overcome," she said. "I see people on a daily basis who are scared to take that first step, and they don't understand that there's healing in taking that first step."
The Rev. Brendolyn Jenkins, executive director of The Imani Group, said the issue of human trafficking hits close to home, even for Aiken County, where five people were indicted in September for trafficking illegal immigrants with the purpose of making them engage in prostitution.
"We don't tend to think that it's within our borders, not in our community, not in my neighborhood," she said. "But it is."
Barranco said awareness is key in fighting the horrific practices.
"One thing that we struggle with is getting people to say something," he said. "If you see something and you just don't think it's right, it's OK to say something to somebody. That insignificant information you think you have may be very important to somebody else."

Dropouts: Discouraged Americans leave labor forceBy PAUL WISEMAN
and JESSE WASHINGTON
The Associated Press | April 07,2013WASHINGTON After a full year of job hunting, Natasha Baebler just gave up.
Shed already abandoned hope of getting work in her field, working with the disabled. But she couldnt land anything else, either not even a job interview at a telephone call center.
Until she feels confident enough to send out resumes again, shell get by on food stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents in St. Louis.
Im not proud of it, says Baebler, who is in her mid-30s and is blind. The only way Im able to sustain any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that I have no desire to be on.
Baeblers frustrating experience has become all too common nearly four years after the Great Recession ended: Many Americans are still so discouraged that theyve given up on the job market.
Older Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens. Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.
It isnt supposed to be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to bring people back into the job market.
Instead, the number of Americans in the labor force those who have a job or are looking for one fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force whats called the participation rate fell to 63.3 percent last month. Its the lowest such figure since May 1979.
The falling participation rate tarnished the only apparent good news in the jobs report the Labor Department released Friday: The unemployment rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.6 percent in March from 7.7 in February.
People without a job who stop looking for one are no longer counted as unemployed. Thats why the U.S. unemployment rate dropped in March despite weak hiring. If the 496,000 who left the labor force last month had still been looking for jobs, the unemployment rate would have risen to 7.9 percent in March.
Unemployment dropped for all the wrong reasons, says Craig Alexander, chief economist with TD Bank Financial Group. It dropped because more workers stopped looking for jobs. It signaled less confidence and optimism that there are jobs out there.
The participation rate peaked at 67.3 percent in 2000, reflecting an influx of women into the work force. Its been falling steadily ever since.
Part of the drop reflects the baby boom generations gradual move into retirement. But such demographics arent the whole answer.
Even Americans of prime working age 25 to 54 years old are dropping out of the workforce. Their participation rate fell to 81.1 percent last month, tied with November for the lowest since December 1984.
Its the lack of job opportunities the lack of demand for workers that is keeping these workers from working or seeking work, says Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. The Labor Department says there are still more than three unemployed people for every job opening.
Cynthia Marriott gave up her job search after an interview in October for a position as a hotel concierge.
They never said no, she says. They just never called me back.
Her husband hasnt worked full time since 2006. She cashed out her 401(k) after being laid off from a job at a Los Angeles entertainment publicity firm in 2009. The couple owes thousands in taxes for that withdrawal. They have no health insurance.
She got the maximum 99 weeks of unemployment benefits then allowed in California and then moved to Atlanta.
Now she is looking to receive federal disability benefits for a lung condition that she said leaves her weak and unable to work a full day. The application is pending a medical review.
I feel like I have no choice, says Marriott, 47. Its just really sad and frightening
During the peak of her job search, Marriott was filling out 10 applications a day. She applied for jobs she felt overqualified for, such as those at Home Depot and Petco but never heard back. Eventually, the disappointment and fatigue got to her.
I just wanted a job, she says. I couldnt really go on anymore looking for a job.
Young people are leaving the job market, too. The participation rate for Americans ages 20 to 24 hit a 41-year low 69.6 percent last year before bouncing back a bit. Many young people have enrolled in community colleges and universities. Thats one reason a record 63 percent of adults ages 25 to 29 have spent at least some time in college, according to the Pew Research Center.
Older Americans are returning to school, too. Doug Damato, who lives in Asheville, N.C., lost his job as an installer at a utility company in February 2012. He stopped looking for work last fall, when he began taking classes in mechanical engineering at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
Next week, Damato, 40, will accept an academic award for earning top grades. But one obstacle has emerged: Under a recent change in state law, his unemployment benefits will now end July 1, six months earlier than he expected.
Hes planning to work nights, if possible, to support himself once the benefits run out. Dropping out of school is out of the question, he said, given the time he has already put into the program.
I dont want a handout, he says. Im trying to better myself.
Many older Americans who lost their jobs are finding refuge in Social Securitys disability program. Nearly 8.9 million Americans are receiving disability checks, up 1.3 million from when the recession ended in June 2009.
Natasha Baeblers journey out of the labor force and onto the disability rolls began when she lost her job serving disabled students and staff members at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., in February 2012.
For six months, she sought jobs in her field, brandishing masters degrees in social education and counseling. No luck.
Then she just started looking for anything. Still, she had no takers.
I chose to stop and take a step back for a while ... After youve seen that amount of rejection, she says, you start thinking, `Whats going to make this time any different?
