Teddy bears that were donated to Newtown, Conn., where 20 children and six adults were killed in a school shooting in December, have made their way to Aiken.
About 150 teddy bears and other stuffed animals were donated to the Aiken County Animal Shelter and the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare, according to Jennifer Miller, president of Friends of the Animal Shelter. They were delivered to the shelter on Tuesday. On Dec. 14, 2012, a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, killing 20 students and six employees.
Teddy bears were donated to Newtown in response to a donation drive initiated by local Connecticut residents in the aftermath of the shooting, Miller said. By Dec. 23, thousands of bears – including 7,000 from the state of Arkansas – had been donated to the towns' children.
Chris Kelsey, the town tax assessor with whom Miller spoke, recently told USA Today the town has received 62,000 teddy bears and stuffed animals, 561 boxes of toys, 60 bicycles, about 2,000 boxes of school supplies, 89 boxes of backpacks, 79 boxes of tissues, 45 boxes of books, 27 boxes of pillows and 22 boxes of new jackets.
"I was reading in the paper that they had warehouses full of so many stuffed animals, and they had so many they couldn't really use them all," Miller said. "I said, 'Hey, maybe they'd be willing to let us have some.'"
Miller contacted the person in charge of the warehouse, who agreed to donate a palate of animals, she said. She also spoke with UPS and was able to get a discount on the shipping for charity.
"We both get puppies coming into the shelter and need foster homes for our puppies," Miller said. "Sometimes, we get 20 or 30 a day."
Miller said the puppies love to play and snuggle with the stuffed animals.
"It keeps them warm. A lot of times, they come in here without a mother," she said. "That puppy there, Scooby, came here by himself."
"It helps socialize them, too, especially individual puppies that come in by themselves," said Gary Willoughby, president of Aiken SPCA. "They don't' have another companion, so they can feel more comfortable playing with a toy."
Miller said FOTAS is in need of foster homes for the puppies. Foster home puppies are puppies that are less than 12 weeks old when they come to the shelter.
"A lot of times when these puppies come in, they're too young to be adopted," she said. "They have to get two sets of shots and be about 12 weeks old. They need to get their inoculations and they need to be in a quiet, healthy environment. Unfortunately, the shelter is an open floor plan and these cages aren't conducive."
Anyone interested in providing a foster home for a puppy has to come to the shelter, complete the application and request a standard home inspection, according to Miller. A County staff member will then inspect the home to make sure it is adequate.
The shelter is also offering a special on its adoptions, Miller said. The normal cost to adopt a dog or cat is $70, but through March 2, it has been reduced to $35. That includes the price of adoption, microchip, shots and spaying or neutering.
"We really need help with the fostering," she said. "You're helping to save a life."

Well the signs and symptoms page says "more than 2 pounds in a week" http://www.preeclampsia.org/health-info ... d-symptoms
For me personally though, I can fluctuate a pound or two, especially if I eat a lot of salt (salt sensitive hypertensive here).
Though when I gained more than 5 pounds in a day, for me personally that was a sign of preeclampsia.
Just a thought, but is there any way you could go in to your docs and get a pressure check and protein dip to maybe help put your mind at ease? During my second pregnancy I was super paranoid (I mean hyper vigilant!) so my OB would let me come in whenever I wanted to get a urine dip and BP check. Probably since I only had to see the medical assistant for that!
I hope this helps, good luck!

Well my succubus visited me again last night,actually it was more early morning as per usual.She's visited me a few times in the last few years.
I didn't sleep well last night,I've got quite a badly bruised rib and I'm not one for sleeping in the same position for a long time.
My radio alarm clock was set for 6.00am and at about 5.30am I thought I had woke up,as usual when she visits it started with sleep paralysis and me trying to wake myself up,then she put her arms round me.At first it scares me but then I tend to realise it's not real.She then,to put it politely,massaged me.
I then thought I'd woke up again a couple of times,only to be accosted again each time
The last time I thought I could hear Duran Duran singing and,in my sleep,turned to switch my alarm off (which wouldn't have been possible if I'd been actually awake because my bruised rib wouldn't have allowed this without great pain) and there were no numerals to see.At which point she was on my back again.
I dread to thing how someone with belief in the supernatural would cope with this
I actually enjoyed it .Apart from the paralysis,which is quite scary
I've decided to name her not_ally in a bag
any resemblance to anyone living or dead is pure coincidence
This is a true story,not one of my silly jokes btw

On Sunday, July 17, 2011 at approximately 10:06 p.m., a 1991 Chevy truck being driven by Luke R. Roberts, a 20 year-old white make from Albion, struck a pedestrian while attempting to yield to an emergency vehicle about 1 mile north and 1 mile east of Clayton on SH2 in Pushmataha County.
According to Trooper reports, the '91 Chevy was traveling northbound and the pedestrian was also walking northbound. The vehicle moved to the right while and hit James Guy Exon, a 61 year-old white male from Clayton, the pedestrian.
Exon was transported to Choctaw Nation Hospital in Talihina with head and arm injuries and then airlifted to Sparks Regional Medical Center in Ft. Smith, AR., in critical condition.
Roberts and his passenger, Blake Long, a 17 year-old white male from Clayton, were not injured.
Troopers reported that the condition of the driver seemed apparently normal and the cause of the collision wasn't because of improper actions by the driver.
This collision was investigated by Trooper Daryl Wofford, E-740 of the Choctaw County Detachment. He was assisted by the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Department and the Clayton Police Department.

On Tuesday, November 5, Moretown voters will be asked to approve up to $40,000 in short-term borrowing for new town offices to be constructed on the current site of the Moretown Elementary School playground, and on Tuesday, October 29, the Moretown Town Office Committee conducted an informational meeting to tell voters exactly what those town offices will look like—physically and financially.
In the two years since the old town offices were destroyed due to flooding from Tropical Storm Irene, Moretown established temporary town offices at Kaiser Drive on Route 2 in a building the town leases from Moretown Landfill. In the meantime, the Moretown Town Office Committee conducted an all-inclusive survey of sites on which to rebuild, ultimately selecting the site of the Moretown Elementary School playground as the best option.
The total cost to construct town offices at the playground site is $865,286, but the town's out-of-pocket expense will be offset by a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that Moretown received this summer, plus over $120,000 in insurance money and $25,000 from the town's Deeryard Fund, which is dedicated to "use for children" and will pay for building a new playground on the other side of the school.
Taking into account this available funding, the out-of-pocket expense for the new town offices comes in at about $5,000, and the Moretown Town Office Committee is asking the town to approve up to $40,000 in short-term borrowing to allow for overrun costs of a little less than 5 percent of the total cost.
"The town may use up to $40,000, but it may not use all of it," committee chair Clark Amadon said on Tuesday, explaining that the estimated costs for the project are on the "conservative side," and the actual costs could be lower.
According to design plans drawn up by Maclay Architects of Waitsfield, the new town offices will have a total area of just under 2,000 square feet. That's about twice as large as the old offices, which came in at just under 900 square feet, but the old offices "needed to expand," Amadon explained, even before Tropical Storm Irene.
In the old offices, "there was space for the assistant clerk, but there wasn't space for the treasurer," Bill Gallup of Maclay Architects said on Tuesday when presenting the design plans for the new town offices, which will contain a "semi-open office area" and a meeting room with a "pre-assembly area" that allows it to be "a little more flexible" in accommodating attendees, Gallup explained. The new town offices will also contain a larger vault to protect all of the town's important records, whereas the old office's vault could protect just some.
The new town offices will sit three feet above the Tropical Storm Irene floodplain and one foot above the 500-year floodplain. The building itself will also contain "as much flood protection as possible," Gallup said, explaining that its windows are three feet from the base of the building and its doors will be waterproofed.
By building adjacent to Moretown Elementary School, the new town offices can tie in to existing electric, water and septic systems and utilize existing municipal parking, which reduces the cost of constructing on the playground site significantly. Of the seven sites that Henry Erickson of Erickson Consulting drew up cost estimates for, "the playground site was the most economical," he said.
Still, residents who attended Tuesday's meeting had some reservations about the project. One resident said he doesn't think the town should be building in a floodplain and asked how much money will be spent on waterproofing that the town could save by building elsewhere.
As it turns out, the money the town will save by building at the playground site and being able to tie in to existing systems is much more than the "modest $25,000 to $35,000" that Moretown will spend on waterproofing, Gallup said.
Another resident expressed concern that the new town offices will cause increased water runoff. "How are we going to deal with the drainage?" he asked, to which Gallup responded that by utilizing existing parking the amount of pavement in the area isn't going to change, and that's what causes increased runoff.
When asked about maintenance costs, Gallup responded that they should be low, as the building is designed to be very energy efficient.
Energy costs for the building should also be low, so that "they could be covered by photovoltaic [energy]" Gallup said. "I think that's the next question, to be evaluated in a year or two," Gallup said, explaining that the town could build a solar array "basically anywhere, and connect it to the grid" to cover the town offices' energy costs.
In closing the meeting, Amadon and the rest of the Moretown Town Office Committee explained that while the $700,000 from the CDBG, which provides funding for towns to rebuild infrastructure above the floodplain, does comprise "a very significant part of the town's resources for funding" the new town offices, he said, the committee would still support the building and the site even without the grant.
"Prior to Irene we needed a new [town office]," Moretown Select Board chair Tom Martin said, and the grant "has given us the opportunity" to build one.
In closing, Amadon thanked his fellow board members, Maclay Architects, Erickson and the community "for an enormous amount of work and dedication," he said, and asked everyone to get out and vote on Tuesday, November 5.

The Fin Project
Warren G. Magnuson Park
North loop trail below Sand Point (Kite Hill)
Sand Point Way NE and NE 65th Street
Gift to the city from a consortium of corporate, agency and private donors, including the U.S. Navy
Black whale fins appear to glide over a grassy area overlooking Lake Washington. However, upon closer inspection this large pod of Orca whales is actually a grouping of 22 decommissioned diving plane fins from 1960's U.S. Navy attack submarines installed as an artwork by artist John Young.
The fins, each weighing 10,000 pounds, are placed at various angles and heights effectively creating a dynamic sense of movement, turning the earth at Magnuson Park into a substitute body of water.
The work is a testament not only to the power of ecologically sound practices but also a statement regarding the transformation of the implements of war into the beauty of art. Additionally, as the artist points out, the artwork "represents a significant amount of the national deficit being returned to the people for their enjoyment and appreciation."

Snapshots from Long Island Wine Country
You might think that winter wouldn't be an interesting time to visit a winery, but now that the wines are fermented and safely tucked into barrels and tanks, winemakers are busy blending and bottling the wine. A recent trip to the North and South Fork of Long Island gave me the chance to chat with local winemakers, tour the cellars and taste barrel samples, as well as try some wines that have been aging in the cellars for a decade—impressive stuff. In the fields, there's some pruning to do, but most of the excitement is in the wineries these days—at least until the first green buds appear on the vines. More

Remember those valentines we used to get in school?
The teacher would help make a mailbox for each student. Sometimes it was half a paper plate stitched, glued or taped to the facing side of a whole plate, creating a slot into which the valentines were placed.
Sometimes it was a brown paper lunch sack upon which we drew pictures of hearts and flowers. And sometimes it was an empty shoe box which we decorated, cutting a hole in the lid for classmates to drop in the cards.
Everyone went to the dime store or another shop where class-size packages of valentines were sold. Then we carefully looked through the assorted cards to make sure that we didn't give the girl we liked one that was intended for the teacher.
After putting a name on each of the little envelopes and a card inside, we carried them to school on Feb. 14. At the appointed time we went down the row of previously made mailboxes and matched cards with the names on the boxes and dropped them in.
Part of the fun was to read over each valentine after we got home to see what the cute girl on the third row said on her card and to chuckle over what our best friend said to us.
As important as those cards were – for a day or two at least – during elementary school, they soon became part of the stuff with which we could part. At some point when our moms told us to clean up things and throw away what we would never use again, the valentines found their way into the trash and out of our memories.
Did any of us keep the valentines from school? Or valentines from any time for that matter?
I know I didn't. Except for one. And it was the most special valentine of all.
My wife and I got engaged soon after we started dating – the third weekend to be precise. And we got engaged on Valentine's Day.
If we stop there, it sounds quite romantic. Ahh, love at first sight and a proposal on the most love-filled day of the year. But I was (and still am) anything but romantic in the way I deal with matters of the heart. It's not that I don't care or don't want to impress in that way, I just don't know how.
My idea of a marriage proposal came out as, "I want to marry you sometime." It was in the middle of a Godzilla movie on late night TV at my parents' house the weekend I took Mary Lou home to meet them. That it happened to be on Valentine's Day was merely a coincidence.
When the sun rose that morning and we got ready to go to church, the woman to whom I had just become engaged walked over to me in the living room. In her hand was a large envelope. She reached out and handed it to me.
The card inside had a drawing of an obviously 1970's young woman (short dress, purple tights, orange shoes) and the words, "Valentine – I really gotta hand it to you!"
The inside of the valentine read, "… cause I'm too shy to say it!!!" And there was that same young woman. Her visage had changed, however. Her eyes were closed, she was blushing slightly and she was holding out a small card with a heart on it and the words, "I love you!!"
Yes, this was the same day that we had agreed to marry. But prior to that day we had never used the "L" word. We were smitten with one another, but in the brief time we had known one another, that word had not been uttered.
Now, there it was in my hands written in a valentine that she had gotten prior to our weekend in Aiken. I was touched and still am. It is now 42 years later, and I still have that card. Of all the cards that I was given before and all that I have received since, none compares to that simple card with the wide-eyed young lady.
In a mere 18 words (I didn't mention the "Happy Valentine's Day" at the bottom of the inside message) she said all that I would need to know about her feelings toward me – then and now.
I had been told that I would know when the real one came along. On Feb. 14, 1971, I knew.
Happy Valentine's Day to my one and only.

Faculty Spotlight on Dr. Kofi Nuroh
Faculty Spotlight - Dr. Kofi Nuroh
Dr. Kofi Nuroh
IMAGE: Dr. Kofi Nuroh
Dr. Kofi Nuroh, Kent State University at Salem's recently promoted professor of mathematics, is more than one of the campus' teachers. Although Nuroh instructs students in both mathematics and physics, outside the classroom he is a skilled researcher whose study of the behavior of electrons and condensed matter has been published in leading scientific journals such as Physical Review, Physica Scripta, Solid State Communications and Physical Review Letters.
In addition to his published research, Nuroh presented "Many-body Theory of Atomic Systems" at a Nobel Symposium after earning his doctoral degree in mathematical physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. This was given by that year's Noble Prize Winners Sheldon Lee Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg, who jointly won the award.
Prior to coming to Kent State Salem, Nuroh was a research associate at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. During this post he was the primary author of "Giant Resonances in Atoms, Molecules and Solids," research that he presented at the NATO Advanced Studies Institute in Les Houches, France.
"It was an honor to be invited," Nuroh said of the presentation. "These are places where experts from all over the world gather to share information and provide insight."
Nuroh's success has not come without hard work and perhaps, even, a bit of luck. The Ghana native grew up in a small village in this developing nation where running water and electricity were nonexistent. With 12 hours of daylight, one of his many chores was fetching water for cooking and bathing in the morning before heading off to school. Homework was often done by the dim light of a candle. As a youngster, when he did not receive the grade he thought he deserved on a subjective essay, he turned his attention towards mathematics.
"You could prove it; it's logically based and there isn't any memorizing," he said with a smile during a recent interview. "I wanted to be able to prove I was right."
Through his excellent academic and ping pong skills, Nuroh earned scholarships that allowed him to attend an elite high school and the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana, where he first earned an honors bachelor's in mathematics, followed by a Master's of Science in Mathematics and Physics.
Because Ghana is a developing country, exams and theses must be verified by another institution. Nuroh's master's thesis was reviewed by a professor from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, who was so impressed with the manuscript he asked if Nuroh would want to study at his university. Although Nuroh's original intent was stay in Ghana and make a positive impact, political unrest did not allow him to do so. Instead, he accepted the invitation, joined the Solid State Physics group whose head was then the Chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics, earned a scholarship and went on to complete his doctoral degree.
Nuroh hopes one day he can use his knowledge and research to help Ghana, which is more stable than when he left. Although he has no plans to return soon, he still hopes to go back.

What you wanted to know about herpes but were afraid to ask (or couldn't find anyone who knew the answers)
By gracefromhhp and auntiejessi
So you've just found out you have genital herpes or you think you might have genital herpes - what next?? Well, after you are done reading this - stop by the std community or the herpes community and post and we'll try to give you a hand with any questions you might have that this guide doesn't cover enough for you :) This is only a basic guide to help point you in the right direction .
Are my symptoms herpes?
You have some strange things going on, and want to know, "Is this herpes?" Well, that question isn't so easy to answer, but we'll try. Keep in mind that no one can diagnose you over the internet, and that you need a medical provider to examine and test you for an absolute diagnosis.
As you read this part, remember that 90% of those with genital herpes type 2 (ghsv2), don't even know they have it because their symptoms are so mild (about 70%), or because they get no symptoms at all (about 20%). Genital herpes can cause different symptoms for different people. The most common symptoms are blisters that break, then heal. This can be a few big blisters, or a cluster of smaller ones. Typically, a herpes recurrence will last a week or two, but this does vary from person to person, or if you are taking antiviral medication. (More about a primary outbreak in a minute.)
Other common symptoms are ulcers, lesions, itching, raw, red patches, and pain. Its so important to remember that many other infections can cause these symptoms, including fungal infections, other stds, allergic reaction, etc., so don't panic and think you have herpes just based on symptoms.
Primary outbreak vs recurrence:
A primary outbreak is when someone is newly infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv1) or herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2). A true primary is when a person is newly infected, and does not have an established hsv infection of any kind. Symptoms typically appear within 2-20 days, but this is not a hard and fast rule.
If a person gets either type 1 or type 2, and it's a true primary, they might have more severe symptoms than someone who already had an hsv infection in another location (as in someone who has oral hsv1 and then gets genital hsv2). This person might have aches, a fever, tiredness, and flu-like symptoms. This can also happen with a non-primary new infection, but is more likely with a true primary. A recurrence is an outbreak that happens after the first outbreak does. These are almost always less severe than the first one, and typically heal faster.
Keep in mind that not everyone will get "classic" symptoms when they first get herpes, and some never get symptoms at all. About 20% of people with ghsv2 are truly asymptomatic, meaning they never get symptoms. Also, never make a self-diagnosis just based on your own symptoms. If doctors don't always get it right by a visual exam, you probably won't either.
What type of herpes do I have?
Many folks are diagnosed by a visual exam only which is a fine thing to start treatment based on but you also need diagnostic/laboratory testing to find out if indeed you do have herpes and if you do , what type you have. Traditionally herpes simplex type 1 ( hsv1 ) is oral but it can also be genital. In fact in the under 30 age group in the US - it's the cause of about 60% of all newly diagnosed genital herpes infections. In the US about 60% of folks have hsv1 orally so it's very common. In other countries the rate of hsv1 oral infection is even higher. Not many of us make it thru life without at least hsv1. Herpes simplex type 2 ( hsv2 ) is the most common cause of genital herpes infections but it too can infect the oral area. Statistically in the US, 1 out of every 4-5 adults has hsv2. It too is quite common but unfortunately most folks who have it aren't aware that they have it.
So finding out what type of herpes you have and where is the first step. You also will need to know what your partner's status is too and what type(s) they have too so that the two of you can make educated decisions about what precautions to take from here on out in your sex life.
For some people finding out if they have herpes or not and what type will come very quickly and be fairly easy to find out. Getting seen promptly by your provider as soon as you suspect that something is going on in the genital area is important. A lesion culture of active symptoms is most likely to be accurate if done within 24-48 hours of its appearance. Wait longer than that and the risk of having a false negative goes higher quickly. Discuss with your provider whether it's a good idea to get a blood test too at that time and then repeat it if need be in a few months. If you do get a blood test - make sure it's a type specific IgG herpes blood test. Do not waste your time or money on the IgM test for herpes. Why? Well, Dr Handsfield in the std expert forum has said it best in the past already so check out his post about it ( http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/248394 ).
For some people though the blood tests aren't going to be very clear cut. Visit the boards if you have any questions about your blood tests. Also check out gracefromhhp's journal entry on blood testing for herpes too ( http: www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/12667 ). The website www.herpesdiagnosis.com is a terrific resource too, as well as the other resources we'll list here. Also if you get a negative lesion culture - that might not be the final answer as to if you have herpes or not. The false negative rate can be pretty high sometimes so additional testing might be necessary. We can help you sort things out on the boards if you have questions about your testing.
Treatment Choices
So let's say you've been to your provider and have been visually diagnosed as having genital herpes and properly tested. What next? It's appropriate to start treatment for genital herpes immediately based on the visual diagnosis only while waiting for test results to come back. The sooner you start treatment, the more it can do for you to help speed healing and make you feel more comfortable faster! No need to wait to find out if indeed you do have herpes and what type it is - you can be taking medication while waiting the couple of days it takes until that information comes back from the lab.
What medication is best? There are 3 different herpes antivirals that are commonly used: acyclovir, valtrex and famvir. Each of them have websites to read more about them and their side effects. Also there is a lot of info on them in the herpes handbook too ( see below for link ). You and your doctor can decide which one is best for you based on your insurance as well as how likely you are to remember to take pills ( also personal preference by some providers plays a part too ). Check out grace's journal entry for more info as well on how to make the decision of what medication to use and how to use it (http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/8280 ).
So what's next? Well if you haven't already, talk to your partner if you have a regular partner ( for tips on this see auntiejess's journal entry on how to talk about herpes with a partner as well as the other resources below ( http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/15788 ). Your partner will need to find out what type of herpes they have or don't have, too. Your partner should ask a medical provider for a type specific IgG herpes blood test. Once you know what type you have and what type your partner has - then decide if episodic therapy ( treating each outbreak ( ob ) as they occur to help speed healing ) or if suppressive therapy ( taking medication every single day whether you have an ob or not ) is the right choice for you and your lifestyle.
This will be a different choice for each person - if you need help trying to decide which choice is best for you - visit us on the boards and ask and we'll gladly try to give you a hand with this decision. Your medical provider can also help with this too.
How do you get herpes?
So what about those of you who are just worried about possibly having herpes? Perhaps you don't have "classic" symptoms or you are wondering about certain scenarios and if they are a risk for herpes or not? Perhaps you've already been doing some reading elsewhere and have seen that herpes presents differently in different people and can oftentimes be rather vague in its appearance so you are worried? Here is a list of prior posts from either the std community, the herpes community or the std experts community to make it easy for you to do some reading :
herpes from lap dance http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/429938
herpes from oral sex http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/317229
herpes from fingering http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/247025
herpes from fooling around http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/548122
herpes from toilets, gym etc http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/248047

genital herpes transmission to children http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/249556
Performing oral sex with an active cold sore present - http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/633510
Last but not least - where else can you do some reading for yourself or what other resources are out there that you can use for yourself, a friend or a partner? Here is a list of the ones we recommend :
www.westoverheights.com - the herpes handbook section
http://www.medhelp.org/health_videos/How-to-Deal-With-Herpes/show/1009 - this is a terrific video by Terri Warren - the herpes expert on medhelp
The IDEA of herpes is usually far scarier than actually living with it is. So many of us have it but yet no one ever takes the time to teach us about it. Visit us on the boards and ask any questions you have and we'll try to help you learn more about this awfully common virus!!!

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is the latest extension of the Apple smartphone family, and comes with an ever-growing library of available apps. Each month T3's specialist iPhone team storm the App Store in search of the very best iPhone apps available right now, so if you're looking to furnish your phone with some top quality, free and paid for app delight, look no further.
Whether you scroll aimlessly through the App Store, or have just grabbed an Apple smartphone, here's our monthly updated list of what the T3 app experts have uncovered.
Unlike apps which just give you a series of rigid filters to play with, Darkroom lets you create you own. So if you find a style you like for your shots, you can quickly add it to multiple ones without playing about with the options again. It delves directly into your photo library, so no need to import and has some nice editing options, like the sliders, which give you a live preview as you go.
Free (IAP needed for some features) | Download Darkroom
The current new kid on the photo editing block, Enlight has lofty ambitions - claiming to be the only picture manipulation tool you need. And, it is rather feature packed. There are filters aplenty, deep diving sliders that can control tone and details and a host of black and white options. Then you've got the more Photoshop type additions, like switching out the background and mixing two photos together. The results are very impressive. There's even a handy guide that talks you through every different option, so you can really get the most out of it.

We doubt many of you would have thought that an app called 'Outlook' would become our new go-to email client, but it has. Actually, this isn't really Outlook, it's a rebadged app that Microsoft purchased a few months ago. Acompli, the original name of the app, was already a slick app, so it's no surprise the new Outlook is too. Alongside support for multiple email systems, we've got Gmail and iCloud running at the minute, it narrows down your inbox into 'Filtered' and 'Other'. 'Other' seems to be the home for your large amounts of junk, while 'Filtered' picks out all the important stuff. There's a calendar built in too and you can link different cloud service, Dropbox or Google Drive for instance, so files are easy to find.

Look inside the Breaking app and there's not much going on. Nothing much at all, apart from a address box to search out your favourite news feeds. The real magic happens once you've added it as a widget in the Notification Centre and becomes flooded with all the latest news. It's the quickest way to get at the latest updates and as it's basically an RSS reader, the majority of sites will support it.
£2.99 | Download Breaking
While there's nothing wrong with the official YouTube app from Google, this version is a bit slicker, lets you set your streaming quality even when you're off wi-fi and, for us, the performance is a bit more reliable, especially on the iPad. The overall layout is very picture based, so you can scroll through a visual list of videos and there's some sweet animations thrown in for good measure.
Want a dual monitor set-up, but just spent all your money on the iPhone 6 Plus? Duet is the answer. Once you've downloaded the companion app to your Mac, you simply connect your iPhone with a Lightning cable and voila, your tablet is now an extension of your computer. Performance is great, mainly because it uses a wired connection rather than wireless, and there's a couple of resolution options. Choose 'Retina' and you'll get a better picture, but select one of the lower-res choices and performance will be improved.
£11.99 | Download Duet
Ridiculously simple. Wordltime lets you add multiple timezone clocks to your notification center as a handy widget. That's basically it. It's great if you travel a lot and you can add plenty of different countries.

Podcasts have exploded in the last few months, notably with the fantastic Serial series.

There's a web client as well, so you can continue listening when you get home.

Google Inbox
Google's reimagining of the email inbox is a great example of taking something we use everyday and making it much more useful. Instead of just giving you a list of emails, Inbox automatically groups similar messages together so you easily know what you've got to deal with. You can save messages for later, snooze them or remove them completely and there's even an option to send you a reminder on a particular day. The look is full on Material Design and it's slick, fast, but you'll need an invite.

You can even add shortcuts to your desktop, a quick call to your mum, perhaps.

Surgeon Simulator:
Brain surgery? Not exactly rocket science, is it mate? But time to scrub up and don your latex gloves anyway, proving yourself by taking virtual control of the flailing, jelly-arms of a doc given the task of fixing an unfortunate soul named Bob. Bob is your Prometheus, but with even less hope of rescue, remaining chained eternally to your operating table as you attack his open chest with a variety of enthusiasm and metal. When Surgeon Simulator landed on the PC's Steam Store this time last year, after just two months of development, it was an instant hit and now stands as one of 2013's big indie success stories, having racked up over a million downloads. This tweaked iPad version gives you the opportunity to control Bob's fate with your bare hands, which is no easier, but still a lot of fun. You can choose to take on a variety of tricky transplant operations, but as you'll quickly realise, battling with the ragdoll physics means Bob meets a grisly end time and time again. That sounds frustrating, but it's actually hilarious and central to the fun. Honestly, throwing a man's vital organs around a room has never been such a lark.

The official Twitter app is all fine and dandy, but it does lack the high amount of polish and finesse that comes with the latest version of Tweetbot. Rebuilt and all shiny for iOS7, Tweetbot will sync your timeline between all your devices through iCloud, let you set up draft tweets and even block people from appearing on your feeds.
The real winning feature though, is the design, which makes the app is pleasure to use. Blur effects are frequent, as is a lovely white theme that really fits with the aesthetic of Apple's latest operating system.
If you were a user of the previous version of Tweetbot, you'll have to re-buy the new edition, but that's not something we're complaining about.

Exclusively built for the spanking new iPhone 5s, the Nike+ Move app utilises the M7 co processor that Apple so handily included in the device. This nifty 'chip' can track your movements and the app turns these movements into Nike+ fuel, similar to the Nike Fuel Band.
You can track at what times of the day you move the most, how long for and even set yourself goals – for that little bit of competition. Plus, it integrates with Game Centre, so you can see how your friends are doing and, hopefully, beat them.
Fantastical 2
Price: £1.99 | Download Fantastical 2
Apple really blew the native Calendars app in iOS7, making it a pain to use. So, your best bet is to find a replacement, and there is plenty of them knocking around the App Store. Our current favourite is Fantastical 2, a brilliantly designed and super easy to use app that makes that rather tedious task of scheduling appointments almost pain free.
Fantastical 2 supports all the same calendars as the stock version, plus it builds reminders right in, meaning you don't have to switch between app. The natural language input engine is great as well, just type in what you're planning to do and when, and it'll schedules the appointment. Scrolling is smooth and slick, while the day ticker at the top is a great way to glance at upcoming appointments.
Free | Download dubble
Yeh, we know what you're saying – do we really need another photo sharing social network? Well, no, but that doesn't stop dubble being a fun little app to have a play around with. Instead of just taking cue from Instagram or Hipstamatic, dubble actually melds your snaps with them of someone else, so you'll never be quite sure how your shots are going to turn out.
After you've dabbled in a dubble, you can download your images and save them to your device, or go again and create something even more different.

A pretty simple app, the Jawbone speaker companion lets your create customised playlists, attach your Spotify account and easily connect up your Jawbone Jambox speaker.
What's great about the app is that you can stay inside and play music from different sources, instead of jumping around multiple apps – perfect for parties.
It works with other Bluetooth wireless too, so you're not out of luck if you don't own a Jambox.
Free | Download Kscope
Developed by the Arts University of Bournemouth, this clever app lets you see everything around you through the eyes of a trippy kaleidoscope. Along with this unique feature, the design is tip top and it works great on both the iPhone and the iPad.
Price: £2.99 | Download Gneo
With the amount of to-do list apps available for almost every platform known to man, you really shouldn't be forgetting to pick up that tub of yoghurt on your way back home from work. If you still haven't been completely won over by any offering so far, then Gneo might just be the one for you.
Really powerful in its set of features, the headliner of Gneo is the forecast view, which helps you keep track of all the things you need to do, along with your calendar appointments. You can also search on grounds of urgency and importance, highlighting the stuff you really ought to get done as soon as possible.
The presentation is crisp and tidy, scrolling is smooth and it really does work. Possibly the new to-do list app king.
Pro Camera 7
Price: 69p | Download Pro Camera
Swish looking camera app that lets you control more aspects of your snaps than the relatively bare bones stock iPhone version. Choose your focus and exposure points, shoot shots rapidly and use the self timer for high quality selfies. Video mode is also fully supported, as is a useful night mode.
Price: 69p | Download FFM
If you've got a fantasy football team this season then this handy app will let you alter your team, make transfers and check your progress on the fly. It also plugs into all your leagues, ensuring you always know your position. Perfect for when you fancy a boast.
Price: 69p | Dowload Vert
With a completely iOS 7-ified design, Vert is perhaps the best looking way to work out everything from currency exchanges and fuel consumption, to density and pressure – plus a whole load more options as well. Basically, if you need something converted, this app will have you covered. A load of colour options are available to make the app a touch more personal.
Free | Download Cameo
Create lovely looking short films, complete with great filters all from the comfort of your iPhone. The best thing is that they are not constrained to bursts of six or 15 seconds, so you can let your creativity run wild. Once you're finished shooting, your clips can easily be uploaded and shared with the world through Cameo's own service, along with Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
Free | Download Songdrop
By combining music from services such as YouTube, Vimeo and Soundcloud, Songdrop creates custom playlists of your favourite tunes for free. Add both music and videos to your lists, and then share them throughout all the usual channels.
Free | Download Cobook
The iPhone contacts app is hardly the pinnacle of Apple's design; Cobook on the other hand is a joy to gaze upon. With a new iOS7 look, contact pictures running down the side and quick access to Facebook and Twitter, this is a great replacement. Our favourite feature though is the customisable business card, which lets you combine your contact details, Facebook and Twitter accounts into one handy, sharable file.
Free | Download Spare Room
Invaluable for property hunters around the country, Spare Room lets you easily search for the perfect house, flat or studio, either if you're planning on renting alone or looking for someone to share with. With so many options in advanced search, you can really narrow down your search quickly and efficiently.
City Mapper
Free | Download City Mapper
One of, if not the most complete London transport app available and possibly the best looking to boot. City Mapper searches through tube, buses and cycle paths for the quickest route across the capital. It also builds in alerts for tube closures, plus you can set your home and work destinations, so no faffing about with postcodes everyday.

The Dark Knight Rises
Latest Stephen King movie...Silver Bullet
Tower Heist - It truly boggles my mind that this film was made and then released. There are moments in the third act that are so mindless, they defy the very boundaries of all that is stupidity.
"One pixel can change everything."
Life of Pi -- dazzling and enchanting. Best use of 3D I've seen. Visually stunning.
Got my dvd of Victor Victoria last week, saw that, and last night popped in a vhs tape of David Lynch's 'Hotel Room' and re-watched it. Hadn't seen it in about ten years or so and had forgotten alot of it so it was like seeing it for the 1st time again! It has an early appearance of the actress from 'Law & Order SVU' Marista Hargitay!
Men In Black III. It was very good and what an interesting twist at the end! If you've seen it you know what I mean and if not... no spoilers!
pet semetary - did not like...boring, badly acted, drab, not involving...only fred gwynne comes anywhere near close to offering up a performance...i remember not liking this adaption at the time, i had hope that by rewatching, all these years later, something might've made more sense, but no : hasn't helped...all of the scenes with the undead church and the undead gage lack any sort of real emotional or suspenseful engagement
; a grown man fighting with what is clearly/often nothing more than a stuffed doll is not scary in the slighest...this needs to be redone with a competent cast and a more than competent director...
silver bullet - now this was 100% better than the above mentioned piece of trash...well acted for basically a b-movie...nicely directed, for the most part: still, it has some awkward moments...AND the single worst werewolf/werewolf transformation this side of one of the billion, rancid howling movies ('cepting, acourse, the first, which, omho, is a classic on every level)...luckily, much of the rest of the movie works: too bad they screwed the pooch when it came to sinking dinero into the one thing that could've...um...transformed this into a minor classic. kings script is at toimes interesting...at times too sophmoric...but there's a gem of a great idea there, nice way to waste an hour or so...
the amazing spiderman - nice...ho hum...some scenes were nice...some acting was nice...cgi sucked big gigantic rotten dodo eggs...doesn't replace a hair on the first raimi version...dudes should've just taken a page outta james bond, recast and went forward: we did not need a reboot/revision: for me...this added nothing...nothing spectacular...been there, done that, yawn, ho hum, indeed
Christmas Cottage, a made for TV family movie with some real depth, with good acting (Peter O'Toole, Marcia Gay Harden, Edward Asner) and writing. It's about the early life of artist Thomas Kincade.

Taylor Swift Had Crush on Justin Bieber For Years, Now Chasing After Him? Rumor Patrol
It seems like just yesterday — yep, it was literally yesterday — we saw a report claiming Taylor Swift just isn't a Justin Bieber fan, so she told her close friend Selena Gomez to let him go for good. Well, hang on to your breakup songs, 'cause here's a counter-story out of the National Enquirer (we know, we know), claiming Taylor is "zeroing in" on the now single Justin and it's leaving Selena "heartbroken."
An insider claims Taylor believes Justin is "fair game now" and she supposedly "had a crush on him for years." While Taylor says Justin is just a friend, the story's source says she and JB have been calling and texting each other "at least four times a day, and they never mention Selena." Supposedly Taylor is drawn to Justin because he's a superstar like her and knows what her life is like. But Gossip Cop said there's nothing going on between the two, with a source close to Taylor saying it's completely untrue that she's zeroing in on Bieber.
On a related note, Does anyone else remember when Justin Punk'd Taylor? They definitely seemed like good friends but nothing more than that. He's like a goofy little brother type. She already dated an 18-year-old boy (Conor Kennedy, where are you now?), she doesn't need another. Plus, not to be heightist, but isn't she, like, half a foot taller than him?

Remembering Jake Adam York (1972–2012)
|Jake Adam York during an interview with Natasha Trethewey, 2008.
Jake Adam York served faithfully on the Southern Spaces editorial board. His insight, enthusiasm, and generosity will be missed.
Jake Adam York was a poet of great vision and a deeply humane intelligence. His work to chart the history of his native South and the civil rights movement—its violence and erasures—represents a brave reclamation and reckoning: a reclamation rooted in the absolute necessity to articulate, in the elegant language of poetry, a fuller version of our American story. Beyond the sheer beauty and technical skill of his poems is a profound intervention into our ongoing conversations about race and social justice. His body of work represents a bold and necessary challenge to our historical amnesia, making him one of our most indispensable American poets.

Pawleys Island, S.C. — A smell of smoke in a hallway led to the evacuation of Waccamaw Elementary School on Thursday afternoon.
Midway Fire Rescue Chief Doug Eggiman said firefighters responded to the school on Waverly Road in Pawleys Island at 2:39 p.m. An investigation led to the discovery of some burnt insulation, which caused the smoky smell.
"The school district staff handled everything appropriately" by evacuating the school, Eggiman said.
"The safety of students and staff has to be the most important thing."
Because the fire call came in so close to when students were going home, Georgetown County sheriff's deputies arrived to direct traffic.
"They did a great job making sure everything was accessible for our units when they arrived on scene," Eggiman said.
The school district immmeidately sent employees to the school to fix the insulation.

Ashe will open the 2AA State Playoffs with the unenviable task of having to stop the Newton-Conover Red Devils this Friday night.
The Red Devils finished the regular season in a three-way tie for first place in the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference. Newton-Conover finished 8-3 overall and 6-1 in the CVAC.
The Huskies enter the playoffs with a 4-7 overall record and were 3-5 in the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference.
Newton-Conover will be led by standout quarterback Kevin Cline. The senior completed 52-percent of his passes this year while throwing for 1,228 yards, 15 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Kline is also the team's leading rusher with 702 yards on 134 carries with nine touchdowns. Joining him in the backfield will be a group of quick running backs that can change a game in a moment's notice. Matt Coulter has had 122 carries on the year for 658 yards and six touchdowns. Junior Nick Baker has chipped in 84 carries for 547 yards and nine touchdowns. Senior Marquis Pope is the big home-run threat in the backfield. He has carried the ball just 55 times, but has 578 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging over 10 yards per carry.
Pope is one of the team's big play receivers as well with 14 catches for 388 yards and four touchdowns. He averages nearly 30 yards per catch. Sam Avis leads all Red Devil players with 24 catches.
The Huskies will counter with sophomore quarterback Connor Bowers, who will be hoping to bounce back from a tough game at East Wilkes last week.
Jonathan Cox will lead the way in the backfield, as he does every week. Cox has had 205 rushing attempts for 1,378 yards and 10 touchdowns, and will most certainly be an MVAC All-Conference performer when those awards are handed out.
Defensively, Michael Elliott has been all over the field this season making tackles. The junior leads all Husky players with 62 tackles. Carson Knight and Dominic Maxwell have been the leaders on the defensive line. Knight has 37 tackles and four quarterback sacks while Maxwell has 34 tackles and three quarterback sacks.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. this Friday from Gurley Stadium at Newton-Conover HS.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Fabric Blindsgalore Privacy Solids Vertical Window Blinds
"Great Blinds"
By Meril from Indianapolis, In
We ordered a blind for our living room window and loved it so much we ordered a larger one for our patio windows. They are very pretty and I am totally happy with them. Also the price was very reasonable. We just had one problem with the directions for the patio blind. Finally figured it out. We would certainly order again. Great job!!View this product
"I don't usually write reviews"
By Seabreeze from NJ
I don't usually write reviews for products or services, unless using a five-point scale, my satisfaction ratings are 0 or 6. That is, I'm very hard to displease or please. I had three transactions with BlindsGalore; received a fabric sample, ordered one set of vertical blinds, then followed with an order for three sets. All interfaces with them were without problem. I needed to ask a question, and on the phone they were courteous and completely answered my question. The fabric vanes are substantial enough to block out light, and they do not flutter in the breeze. The tracks are somewhat lighter than those I replaced, but they are perfectly adequate. The operation is smooth and quiet. The chains are heavier than those I have seen before at any price. Workmanship is good and the product arrived within two weeks, well packaged. I was able to use existing installation hardware with the new verticals, and you can't imagine what a help that was. In summary, I am proud to have them on my windows, and I believe they represent one of the truly great values out there.View this product

The best defense it to be a white female. Black males rate of death by firearms is 34.5/100,000 and it's 2.7/100,000 for white females.
For home defense I live in a boring suburb. I do have a shotgun and a 30.06, but of course they are in the basement with ammo in a box, not too handy for fighting the home invaders.
I'd suggest getting a couple yappy little dogs or a big friendly golden retriever that'd bark loudly, but I think that won't go over with the machos, so for them, get a pit. Never mind that golden retrievers vs pits in the bite human statistics are 6 to 1100 incidents, get a pit or three or a dozen.
According to University of Utah med school http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/...S/GUNSTAT.html
"The issue of "home defense" or protection against intruders or assailants may well be misrepresented. A study of 626 shootings in or around a residence in three U.S. cities revealed that, for every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides (Kellermann et al, 1998)."
The safest thing might be to get this as a sign and window sticker:

And WR the M41A is supposed to fire 10mm "explosive tip" case less. Standard light armor piercing round... you know. Ironically you can see the cases ejecting when they fire the guns through the whole movie. And there is no way even in a case less stack that you could get 95 10mm rounds in that 1 mag. But a man can dream.

Unfortunately, the study mentioned is not named in the article text. The article linked to was written to support anti-civil rights arguments.
Do you have the name of the "study of 626 shootings"? The Kellerman citation is not enough.
It appears the author(s) include criminal acts that a person may have been defending against.

In both "More Guns Less Crime," and "The Great American Gun Debate," this "data" is explained in detail.
When they talk about handgun deaths in the home NOT being caused by the homeowners firearm, they include the following:
1. When police officers shoot someone in your home.
2. If the death was caused by someone else's fire arm.
When they talk about "firearms in the home," they include "homes" like crack houses.
When you remove all that kind of filler, used to make the Sara Brady crowd happy, you get a VERY different picture. I direct you to the two works above, as doing your own homework is always best.
PS: Yes, in England "Hot" (when someone is home) break-in's are VASYLT above ours, something that always gets left out of the debate.
