Winter visitors hit the trails, end up in harm's way
PHOENIX -- Winter visitors are flocking to the Valley where many are taking on the mountains and finding themselves in danger.
An average of three hikers a year die on Valley trails.
Phoenix Fire carries out more mountain rescues than any other agency in the United States and it has had several rescues recently because of above normal temperatures.
"They'll climb it and think they can get to a certain point. Think they can push to the summit and that's where they get in trouble," said Phoenix Fire Capt. Larry Nunez.
Out-of-staters in particular jump to the conclusion that many of the area mountains will be a piece of cake to climb.
"Or they thought they could push themselves further and now they realize it's that much harder getting back," Nunez said.
Hikers should know their physical limitations before hitting the trail.
"You really have to look at what you're wearing and your physical condition," Nunez said.
And if a hiker has any doubt about climbing a trail or a mountain, Nunez offered one word of advice: Don't.

Can I just format my HDD to WBFS via WBFS Manager without making partitions, because I don't want to watch movies, listening to music or anything similar. I just want to play games, and SD card has enough memory to place covers. If I just format to WBFS do I need to set Primary and Active because I only have one partition?
P.S. If I make 40 GB NTFS partition and 40 GB FAT32 partition, can I use them to place some files from computer which I don't need for Wii?
P.P.S. I'm sorry if this is already posted, I cant read all those pages
Hello. I got a problem.
I used messie's guide to softmod my 4.2 wii, and it worked.. Have been playing different games through NeoGamma on burned dvd's.
But then I try your guide, follow it, formatting my HDD plugging it in and so on.. When I load USBloaderGX on my wii, it says that I only have 0.2 gb free and if I do try to look around in the menu and so on in USBloader it sometimes randomly crash, showing a black sreen with a lot of white text (mostly numbers) and at the same time makes a wierd noise that I don't think are healty for my wii... I then reset the wii and everything is back to normal..
I use a Western Digital 1TB HDD - WD10000H1cs - 00 which should work.
softmod my 4.2 wii - Does work (neogamma and other works)
your guide, formatting the HDD and so on..
Still runs the things from the SD which is ofc plugged in.
Any idea why it says I only got 0.2gb and why it randomly crash ?

Hey guys,
1st thanks again for all the help anyone could ever need hackin wii's.
However I am having a prob. ... I was using the "update your old softmod" tut. and I did not realize I wasn't supposed to run preloader on 3.2 (I was rushing) so I did
could only load preloader....SM was corrupted
Found a guide to let me reinstall Hackmii programs like HBC,dvdx ... etc again
All is up and good except now I get BAD results from my HDD laoders
They either dont load at all or freeze up during loads between screens a few minutes in to the games
I had previously partitioned the HDD with the WBFS up front and checked that the hp smartsave was compatable w/ the wii and all was well before I did the updates.
I am kinda new @ this and have done 4 successfully but seem to have F'ed up my own now trying to update it...LLS
BTW it plays games on disc thru neogamma NP.... my daughters been playing SMG2 for hours on DVDR no problem
Thanks again all and Im Lovin this whole scene
Should I be able to rip discs directly to the WBFS partition using USB Loader GX? It just hangs. What I can do, though, is rip them to the FAT partition and then (from my PC) use Wii Backup Manager to pop them over to the WBFS partition and then they play fine.
Awesome guide, thanks!
My only suggestion would maybe be to emphasize that the USB HD needs to be plugged in when the Wii is off in the OP. It gave me some problems because I hadnt reset my Wii since installing the USB loader channel.
I just want to add something to this great post and that is about WBFS Manager and whether anyone knows if there are any plans to cater for more than 500 titles in the future? Handy to know so that you can plan ahead before buying hardware.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Ross: 'I'm committed' to helping the Diamondbacks win
When Cody Ross takes the field in an Arizona Diamondbacks uniform this season, he will do so for the seventh different team in a career that dates back nearly a decade.
While Ross had a brief cup of coffee (2003-2006) with the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds it wasn't until he landed in Florida that he had an opportunity to play every day.
But even as Ross became a flexible option in the Marlins' outfield, the New Mexico native became expendable in 2010 and was shipped off to the San Francisco Giants.
Ross quickly made a name for himself on a national stage with an impressive postseason at the plate, specifically the National Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, when he batted .350 with three home runs and five RBI. Although he would play an integral role in helping the Giants claim their first World Series title in 49 years, Ross was not re-signed after a down year in 2011.
Last season, Ross had one of the best campaigns of his career (22 home runs and 81 RBI) with the Boston Red Sox, but after the team finished in basement of the AL East, Ben Cherrington and Co. attempted to clean house and made little effort to commit long-term to Ross.
Enter Kevin Towers and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
While the team already had several outfielders (Gerardo Parra, Jason Kubel and Justin Upton) under contract and two other prospects (Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollock) waiting for the chance to play every day, Towers decided the D-backs could use a team-first guy like Ross and signed him in December to the largest free agency contract (three-year deal worth $24 million) given out by the organization since 2004.
"I couldn't be more excited right now to be able to play where I live," Ross told Arizona Sports 620's Hot Stove Show Monday. "To be a part of a team that is committed to winning was important to me, especially with them being just one year removed from winning the NL West."
As a member of the division from 2010-2011, Ross knows that Arizona has plenty of pieces to be competitive in the coming years.
"They kicked our butts as we came off a World Series in 2011," said Ross. "They had some adversity last year having the pressure to repeat that."
Realizing he was now a member of the team he use to consider a division rival, Ross quickly changed pronouns.
"We're not going to sneak up on people," said Ross. But, we're not the favorites like last year. It's really exciting opportunity."
While Arizona shares the division with the defending World Series champion Giants and the suddenly win-at-all-costs Los Angeles Dodgers, Ross admits that with the additions of veterans like himself, Eric Hinske and Eric Chavez, team chemistry could go a long way towards bringing fall baseball back to the Valley.
"I've been going up to the field the last couple of weeks since I've signed, and we're all getting along and it's getting fun," said Ross. "The guys are coming in slowly, and it's a great group, everybody sort of realizes where we are at, where we need to be and where we want to go."
Ross will certainly be expected to be a run producer in Kirk Gibson's lineup, as well as a reliable asset at any of the three outfield positions. But for the well-traveled veteran, all he's concerned about these days is living up to the commitment the D-backs' front office made to him.
Whether it's pushing teammates through the dog days of spring training or doing the little things necessary to help the team win during the season, Ross said he wants to win, and he wants to do it with the D-backs.
"The fact that the Diamondbacks were willing to commit to me was huge, some other teams that were really close, but this made the most sense for me and my family," said Ross. "I just liked the direction of this team and it can't get any sweeter than this.
"They've committed to me, now I am committed to them."

David Satter's analysis at National Review Online is a pretty adequate fill-in for the way most media outlets view the prosecution of the punk rock group Pussy Riot:
The opening of the trial of a Russian female punk band for an unsanctioned performance in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral in which they called on the Virgin Mary to drive away Putin is more than a travesty of justice. It is also an ominous hint that Putin now faces real political opposition in Russia, and may seek to defend himself with the help of a new authoritarian ideology…
As Russian observers have pointed out, they appealed to the Virgin, not to Satan, and although their song was unusual and not in keeping with the solemn setting, there was nothing about it that was prohibited. In fact, the message that the band was trying to convey was a fundamentally important one — that there is something anti-religious about the Russian Orthodox hierarchy's subservience to Putin
This all sounds plausible enough. After all, it's not hard to imagine why people would support the young, female rock musicians in their struggle against a brutal, corrupt, cynical, and increasing unpopular system. But what do Russians themselves think about Pussy Riot? Do they think their persecution is a "travesty of justice?" Do they see the young women of the punk rock art collective as blameless victims of a rapacious authoritarianism?
Well, thankfully, the Levada Center just released a new poll on Russians' opinions of Pussy Riot, and it has some very interesting findings. First of all Russians do seem to genuinely think that the proposed punishment of anywhere between 2 and 7 years in prison is excessive and unfair. In July of 2012 only 33% of respondents said that this punishment was "adequate," a figure significantly lower than the previous figures of 47% in April and 46% in March.
But thinking that punishment is "excessive" is very different from thinking that Pussy Riot shouldn't be punished at all. What do Russians think should happen to the members of Pussy Riot? What do they think is appropriate punishment for the "punk prayer" that they delivered in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior? Well, the answer might disappoint you:
5%(!) of Russians think that the members of Pussy Riot don't deserve any punishment at all. Five percent! The plurality of Russians apprently think that the appropriate punishment is forced labor. Forced labor! Does that sound like a society that is united in its support of the beleaguered punk rockers and that is greatly outraged over the Kremlin's trampling on freedom of speech?
Now please don't blame me for drawing attention to it, but doesn't the information above seriously complicate the emerging narrative that the prosecution of Pussy Riot isn't only a travesty of justice (it would seem quite obvious that it is a travesty of justice) but that it is deeply unpopular? Doesn't the fact that Russians overwhelmingly support some kind of draconian punishment for the members of Pussy Riot do a lot to explain why the trial is, in fact, continuing?
Additionally, while it might seem plausible that the Orthodox Church has a PR nightmare on its hands, most Russians don't appear to be particularly perturbed by its actions:
I personally find the Pussy Riot prosecution to be appalling and unjustifiable, but the world at large doesn't appear particularly troubled about my personal opinion on this (or any other) issue. What really matters, what will determine the trial's impact on Russia and its future development, is what Russians themselves think. And when you glance at the polling data, the Pussy Riot trial isn't nearly as insane and self-defeating a decision as it might appear at first glance. Can Putin and his ilk overplay their hand? Absolutely. If they push for the maximum possible punishment, this could very easily blow up in their faces. But based on polling evidence, the court could force the members of Pussy Riot to do mandatory labor and the public would see this as a satisfying outcome.

Carrot Soup
Serves 6 to 8
Carrot soup is very flexible, becoming cream of carrot soup with the addition of cream, curried carrot soup with the addition of curry powder, carrot and orange soup with the addition of orange, and on and on.
Try to avoid large carrots, but if that's all that is available, peel well and cut as thinly as possible to make cooking more rapid. The addition of sugar will help sweeten the soup if the carrots are bitter.
Nathalie Dupree is the author of 13 cookbooks, most recently "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking."
She lives in Charleston and may be reached through Nathalie dupree.com.
2 tablespoons butter
5 to 6 medium carrots, sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 cups fresh or canned chicken stock or broth
3/4 cup heavy cream or plain yogurt (optional)
11/2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste (optional)
White pepper to taste
1 small chopped or crushed garlic clove (optional)
Finely chopped cilantro, chives, parsley or thyme (optional)
Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the carrots and onion, cover, and cook over low heat until soft, but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the stock, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or remove the solids with a slotted spoon and puree in batches in a food processor or blender until very smooth. (You may need to add a little of the cooking liquid to the food processor or blender.) If you want a really unctuous soup, force the puree through a fine-mesh sieve.
Stir the puree into the cooking liquid if necessary. May be made ahead to this point and refrigerated or frozen. When ready to serve, defrost thoroughly. Soup can be served hot or cold.
If serving hot, bring just to a boil and remove from the heat before adding cream, yogurt, etc. If serving cold, they may be added at any time. Season to taste with sugar, white pepper and garlic. Pour into a soup tureen or individual bowls and sprinkle on some chopped herbs.

text: Coco Blue is a light-medium sky blue with barely-there white micro-shimmer. I used three coats for mostly opaque color, but I found the formula to be prone to streaks. The drying time was longer, too, so the polish pulled in places. Chanel Riva is much, much lighter and has less blue tones. Nubar Blue Hydrangea is more similar than Riva, but it's more vibrant and more of a robin's egg blue.

Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice punched his ticket to be a part of the field for the 139th edition of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4, with a stirring performance last Saturday in the 1⅛-mile, $750,000, Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.
It was the 3-year-old colt's racing debut over a synthetic surface, and he made it a memorable one, with a second place effort, beaten by a neck by the eventual winner Java's War.
"The race was wonderful," said W. Cothran Campbell, president of Dogwood Stable. "Initially, I was disappointed and then quickly became thrilled that he had validated himself. He put his belly on the ground, and went to work and nailed that horse (Rydilluc), which was no easy task."
But there were a couple of variables that factored into the equation that may have played a part in Palace Malice just missing in the Blue Grass Stakes, Campbell said.
"Oddly enough, he spied the tractor tracks from the starting gate close to the wire and shifted to his left lead inadvertently, then Garrett (Gomez, Palace Malice's jockey) made him switch back to his right, both of those things probably cost him a few feet, in any case, he got beat, he ran well and was second."
The 1¼-mile, $2 million, Grade 1 Kentucky Derby on May 4, will be Palace Malice's third start in five weeks, making for a busy itinerary for the bay colt, after making starts on March 30 in the Louisiana Derby and last Saturday in the Blue Grass Stakes. A change in equipment for the Run for the Roses is also a distinct possibility.
"He's on a heavy schedule, and we're asking him for a lot," said Campbell. "He's at Churchill and would have jogged this morning, his first day back on the racetrack. He will gallop tomorrow. We may gallop him in blinkers because he does have a tendency to look around a little bit, and he demonstrated that when he looked at the tire tracks. We'll see how he likes the blinkers."
Palace Malice will also have a new jockey. Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith will have the call for the first time on the horse trained by five-time Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher.
"I talked with Mike Smith today (Tuesday), who is going to ride him, and he has 5,000 winners, and has won the Derby, Preakness and Belmont," said Campbell. "He said, he's excited about him. He's (Smith) going to work him on the 28th, his one and only work prior to the Derby."
This will be Dogwood Stable's first Kentucky Derby starter since Limehouse in 2004; however, Palace Malice will be the Aiken-based stable's eighth Derby starter, and the excitement associated with the race is still palpable, Campbell said.
"I think to have run eight horses in the Kentucky Derby is noteworthy, and I don't imagine that there are many owners who've done that," said Campbell. "It's a great thrill. I want to absorb it all."
However, it's a team effort, and Campbell acknowledges the role many of those behind the scenes have played in getting Palace Malice to this stage.
"I credit Brad Stauffer and Ron Stevens, who I've been with for many years," said Campbell. "There's not more conscientious and skilled horsemen anywhere. The Aiken Training Track is the greatest training ground for Thoroughbred horses there is. There's no place better. I have great respect for the veterinarians and the riders, and the grooms especially. We have the greatest core of grooms over there that exist anywhere, in our barn."
Dogwood Stable runners have finished second, Summer Squall, 1990; third, Impeachment, 2000 and fourth, Limehouse, 2004, in the Kentucky Derby.
"We're due for a fifth or first, and I'll take the latter," said Campbell.

Are Your Children Ready for Deployment?
What to consider in your Family Care Plan
A sudden deployment affects the entire family. Not only will you have to prepare for your mission, you also will have to make sure your spouse is prepared to take on all of the parenting responsibilities alone. If you are a single parent or part of a dual-service family, you may have to arrange for someone else to care for your children and budget for all the expenses that go along with that care.
The military requires all single active-duty servicemembers and dual-service couples with children to prepare a Family Care Plan that outlines who will care for their children while away on duty, as well as what provisions servicemembers have made for their children's care and support.
To help you formulate a Family Care Plan, consider what child care or living expenses may arise because of your absence.
Helping Your Spouse
If you are married and your spouse is a civilian or is not deployed at the same time, he or she may be able to care for your children. Even if you already use child care or your children are in school all day, there may be additional expenses while you are away. Think about how your family works. It's likely that the two of you—together or separately—perform such tasks as:
- Looking after the children
- Buying groceries and making meals
- Cleaning the home and taking care of the garden or lawn
- Repairing small items
- Handling all the jobs that come with family life
- Transporting the children to and from various activities
While you are deployed, all of these jobs will fall—rather heavily—on your spouse's shoulders. He or she may be balancing a job in addition to new or expanded roles at home.
Consider setting some money aside to help with costs, such as:
- Additional baby-sitting, summer camps or similar activities so the solo parent can have "recovery" time.
- Additional meals at restaurants to give the solo parent a break from cooking.
- Hiring help for house cleaning, lawn care, repairs, or other jobs you usually perform.
Arranging Care for Your Children
If you have children and are single, or you have children and are married but your military spouse is being deployed at the same time, you must arrange for someone else to care for your children.
In conversations with potential caregivers or guardians, openly discuss typical costs of raising your children, proposed child care payments, and how you will handle unexpected child care costs the caregiver or guardian might incur. Also, consider carefully how your children's lives will be affected by a new living arrangement. Here are some things to think about before you begin your search for a caregiver or guardian:
- Does the caregiver live nearby or would the children have to travel to another area?
- Will you pay the caregiver to look after your children?
- Will your children have additional expenses while living with the caregiver? For example, would your children have to take a bus to school instead of walking? Will they need to buy lunches instead of bringing ones from home?
A little preparation and a realistic budget will make your deployment easier on your family and provide you peace of mind while you're away.

I spent $1800 on iOS and Mac App Store apps in 2012
One of the very few highlight of an otherwise arduous tax season is adding up all the iTunes receipts in my inbox and finding out how much I spent on iOS and Mac App Store apps the previous year. For 2012, that number turned out to be something just north of $1800.
The most expensive was Lightroom at $150, which turned into $175 after Quebec and Canada were done with it. The least expensive, of course, were just $0.99. Remarkably little went to in-app purchases, almost none to in-app game purchases.
Obviously, I'm not still using all the apps I bought last year. Some were for very specific uses, and those uses are done. Others were simply to try out. The paid apps I stuck with, and still use the most, include Launch Center Pro, Tweetbot for iPad, Tweetbot for Mac Fantastical for iPhone, Letterpress, Coda 2 Diet Coda, Paper, and Drafts for iPhone, Drafts for iPad, and, of course, OS X Mountain Lion.
I don't regret buying any of them, however. Not any more than I regret buying a TV show or movie I watch only once or a few times, or a fussy caffeinated beverage I enjoy for a moment and is then gone forever. Apps almost always save me far more time than they cost me money, and as experiences go, games are both among the most incredible money can buy, and these days, among the cheapest.
I still wish developers would Jury-up and charge more, and users would pay more, and Apple allowed for demos or trials or a short grace period for refunds so it would take the risk out of developers charging more appropriate prices for their work. Absent all that, I'll likely be once again stuffing $10 into their pockets come WWDC so they can make me more fantastic apps and I can sleep better at night.
If you have a rough idea how much you spent on apps last year, let me know, and let me know which ones you're still using, and whether or not you plan to do anything differently this year?

I spent $1800 on iOS and Mac App Store apps in 2012
I've been on Android (not iOS, flame if you want). I haven't run a tally, but if it's even $50 I'd be surprised. I'd guess it would be closer to $35-40. I don't "need" a lot of apps, and generally I run with free/ad-supported versions unless I really really want the "full/ad-free" version of whichever app. Ones I can think of: Poweramp, Weatherbug Elite, AccuWeather Pro, Apex Launcher Pro, and a few 99 cent purchases.
I totaled the amount i spent and it's 110$ and some change. I should mention this is on android although that may be obvious because of my username.lol have a nice day people here at imore
Nope, just apps. No music, movies, or TV shows. I don't even want to know what I spent on those!
On a husband/wife shared account we have spent ~$300 per year.
Pro tip: Take advantage of the discounts on iTunes gift cards when you can, to save money. For a few years now I've been buying the gift cards for $85 for a $100 gift card at Best Buy when they have a sale. I know once I was able to get a $100 card for only $80 but I haven't seen that deal again (or missed it). The guaranteed day I have seen this deal is Black Friday but there are other times as well. They even do free shipping if you order online (if their e-gift cards are "sold out") AND you get Best Buy Rewards Card points for these puchases.
The Walmarts in California (southern and could be limited to my specific area, not sure though) usually offer the $100 iTunes gc for $80. When they don't it's only for about 1-2 weeks then back to the deal again for about 2-3 weeks. I wish it was another store that did this because I f'n hate Walmart and all its bs.
I spent about 100 dollars, an the paid apps that i still using more is probably infinity blade, full fitness an others, and sometimes people should be aware how much they spent, i mean there are people who spend more than 2000$ dollars a year, which is stupid, they don't even use all those apps
Had a lightning cable get frayed and working intermittently and the apple store rep told me to bring it in for a free swap.
I'll 2nd the call for demos, Rene. That is one feature I miss from Android. Charge more for apps if you want to but..let us try them out before with full features. Hell, Cydia allows for this, how does the official App Store not? Makes zero sense to me.
I'm nowhere near 1800, but I definitely am around 1000. Mostly because of OSx apps I need for school and my major. Like all of iWork, Adobe Photoshop and inDesign. Not to mention my ongoing obsession with searching for the best to-do app, so I've bought everything from 2do, to appigo todo, to omnifocus..
I think if you add that to all the apps I bought in Cydia and the iOS app store, I'm at around 1000 per year. But all my apps are definitely worth the money, like you said, because of how much more convenient they make my life.
I'd say I've spent a good $300 or so on apps. It's the odd and simple convenience ones I still have and use the most. Soundhound was probably 1.99 when I bought it to show off to my brother, that kind of thing. Launchcenter pro was worth the money. I hate deleting the paid apps, but I also hate seeing an app I paid for just sit there unused. Echo the trial period call.
Wow. Just, wow! I must be doing something wrong! For 2012, I spent a whopping $4.00 dollars! Look out ladies... BIG SPENDER here!
I spent upward of $500. Most of the apps were worth every penny. The main apps Omni Focus for iPad, iPhone and Mac, Bento for iPad and Mac, Omni outliner, and 1 password to name few. Some of the best apps ever!
Somewhere in the neighborhood of about $570 to $600 between iOS, Google Play, Windows 8 for $49 (just to try it, I'm not impressed still), & Mac apps. Hey, you gotta spend the paycheck on something right? I'm not afraid to reward developers for their hard work.
Now iTunes & Google Play music... That is outrageously high with 5 smartphones (mine, wife's, 3 kids) & numerous iPods around the house. $1000 probably more if I add it all up... Which I'm afraid to do.
Not including iBooks, Music, or Videos, I'm a little over $150 in the last 6 months. Couldn't bear to go through the rest of my iTunes Receipt emails.
You need to go to Apps Anonymous Rene lol.
Plus 1 on the free trials or demos or grace periods. Other than that I already had most of the apps I use the most so I probably spent about ~$100 in 2012. But I also use App Shopper, AppZapp Pro, and Apps Gone Free apps and check them nearly daily for apps I want that have gone on sale, or better yet, are being offered free for a period of time. Saves a ton on app expenses.
I'm not sure if I'm impressed or slightly embarrassed. Actually both, with a bit of jealous sprinkled in.
That's fricken crazy!!! I've spent a grand total of $3.96 in total over about two years. I've got over 100 apps and all but 4 are free. The messed up thing is honestly, though all 4 are fine apps 1 of them has perfectly adequate free apps just as good, thus it was kinda a waste of 99 cents but not a big deal.
Too bad you can't pass down the apps you have accumulated to your children when you die, like when you accumulate other things. I heard Willis was suing Apple because he wants to leave his apps in his will.
Rene, At least u didn't spend 50k like a guy on Engadget did.. Lol
I easily spent $500-$600 last year, probably more. I travel a lot so I end up buying a lot of movies and apps to keep myself entertained.
You can't be serious about charging more right? Not everyone can write off their itunes purchases, so believe it or not but a price increase would just encourage more app piracy.
But i do agree that apple would implement some kind of "try before you buy" policy. Some apps do offer a free version to try but they're just watered down versions, missing alot of functionality, so it still isn't the same thing.
How do you expect the developers to contnue to produce and support these apps that everyone loves? They have bills to pay to. This race to the bottom will drive the good developers out and leave us with crap apps. Seriously, stop and think a moment on what you spend money on and how much time you spend with whatever that was. A couple bucks for a good app that gets support and you use once or twice a day for a year is money well spent. The price of software now is so rediculously cheap. I remember spending hundreds for games and productivity software just a few short years ago!
I really do not want to know the amount I spent on apps this year. It wasn't nearly what you spent, but there is definitely a small fortune spent on apps.
I've only spent $200 in the past six months, I'm not sure about anything past that since my bank won't let me search that far back.
I honestly thought it would be way more than that. Most of them are just $4.99 or less apps.
That doesn't include iBooks or any movie rentals (those would probably add another $30 to $50 (mostly books).
So Reneee, you are all for $10 apps? Why not just donate to the developer? Instead of wanting all users to pay a much higher price.
Oh, and not sure if you are aware that most users are not able to write of the cost of purchasing the apps like you are doing.
He's not advocating us all paying a much higher price, he's advocating paying for what you get. When what you get is free and chock full of annoying ads, give me an option to make all of that go away. I said it earlier, stop and look at all the money you spend in a week and how long whatever that was lasted then compare that to what you pay for an app. The value of time can not be over estimated. $3 for coffee that lasts 15 minutes or $1.99 for an app that I'll use a time or two every day for a year? No contest.
You must have a 64GB iPhone. $1,800 in apps? How many of those are games? Was any of that in app purchases in games? I can see spending on in app purchases in games. It's difficult to control if you're into gaming and can't get to the next level without some in app purchases, but $1,800? WOW.
Fro all those who are shocked at the $1800 number, remember this is for the Mac as well. Software prices really haven't dropped on the Mac as much as it did on iOS.
Although I'm getting a little tired of people bitching about changing the formula for one of the most successful platforms of all times. It's like they want iOS to go back to dark days of the Mac where everything was expensive. Thankfully most of those developers got swept under the rug with iOS.
Presently I have 3200 apps. That is the main reason I have the 128 GB Ipad. I needed more storage.
Last year I spent about $1000 on apps. Apps for my iMac are my most expensive. I do however hate the fact that Apple won't let me see all of my ipad apps under the 'Purchased' section of the app store on my iPad. Someone said there was a limit to the amount of apps that can be shown. Fortunately, I can see them on my Mac but it would be nice to have this available on the ipad as well.
Well if you want to compare Apple,s to Apple's .When that's what you do for a living, and need to buy stuff for your job, I've spent way more money than that on things I needed for my job that I may have only used once or just wanted to try. It would mean a lot more if Rene was just a regular person. Did you get to write them off?
This web site/app makes me buy more apps than anywhere else! I have a lot of apps (coda!) on your list I still really want to buy. I think that Apple will have to be very smart on how they add trials because Say I made a Guitar tuner App and it was not as accurate as competitor tuner apps are so I have to charge less. No one would buy the app if they could download the free/trial app, use the tool and delete it until they needed that tool or any other free but capable app again. Apple would have to enable analytics to tell who is trying what app and how many times. If apps had a 24hr time limit, People could download, tune a guitar in that time and then delete. If apps only had a one time use, I'll try plenty of other free/trial apps. Apple can't ask developers to dance between trial vs own features. If I want to sell the app I made, I would have to show the public why the app is good in the trial without being too useful and letting them fully use it to where they never need to pay? I can't see Apple putting developers in this dance or in a place where their products could be compromised. People seem to always take the free shortcut if provided. So no. no trials ever. wow sorry I guess I had to get that out. I probably don't make sense anyway. Thanks. haha @Rene
THat is some serious app buying. I spent about $100 or so over the last year.
300 here

We were GPSing home from our daughters' soccer game five or six counties away, so neither of us knew the road except by that primal recognition cyclists experience upon finding an exceptional route: We belonged here. Irish Creek lifted and fell and turned on itself and scrambled away, each reprise different yet never breaking rhythm.
A crosswind was coming so hard and so swirly from our right that a draft was near impossible to find, and even more difficult to stay in. I eventually finagled our exits from the turns to put Joel consistently windward, where, if I let him half-wheel me, I could sit off his front hub in a pocket of less turbulent air. This was all I had: the guile of experience.
Though just a Cat 5 in his first real year of racing, Joel was stronger than me not by degrees but by exponents. A longtime runner and mountain biker who had worked out hard over the winter and kept his momentum through spring, he was taller and lighter than me. And he was tough: He'd missed a season to fly a copter in Iraq. Enthralled by and in thrall to the pull of Irish Creek Road, he was riding in a way that was visibly forceful, though just as visibly raw. His head bobbed and his shoulders swayed as he pedaled. Something about his leg extension was not yet natural. A continual resettling on the saddle signaled a kind of ongoing experimention on a muscular level--his body working through the frustration of not being able to get its power fully out onto the pavement.
In comparison, though these days I am still chasing down the cyclist I used to be, my shadow was riding calm beside me, as if disinterested in the distress of the body that cast it. My feet canted through each pedal stroke in angles two decades in the making even if now grown a little sloppy. I still possessed the ability to ride elbows bent, even in the worst pounding of the crosswind, and when I went to the drops my forearms lay flat, producing a classic position that left not quite 2 inches gap between my knees and arms at the top of a stroke. But flab stretched the dark aubergine of my jersey into a disturbing pastel. Snot streamed from my nose. In my throat, chunks of mucous wriggled upward until I hacked them into my mouth and spat them away. No doubt about it: I was cracking.
Meanwhile, Joel told long, engaging stories and offered me a spare banana.
In sentence fragments broken apart by breaths I asked questions to elicit his anecdotes, and I put him in the wind and rode the smoothest lines through the corners and shifted to the best gear for keeping momentum on each roller. Sometimes I could slide rearward on the saddle and flatten my back, and drape my hands over the brake hoods and drop my chin and, for a few moments, feel what I should have been able to do--what I once could do and hoped to someday be able to again. My bike would glide forward, and my feet would feel more spun than spinning, and it was only then that I really rode my bike. In a few seconds there would be mucous to hack, and pain to obey, and I would slow and fall back in line with Joel and look over at him without raising my head. And he would be unchanged.

LONDON (AP) - Prince Harry's assertion that he has killed Taliban fighters while deployed in Afghanistan is drawing intense media coverage in Britain and sparking concerns about possible reprisals.
The Daily Mirror ran a page-one headline "Royal Sensation Harry: I Killed Taliban" on Tuesday along with a photo of a macho-looking Harry in combat gear and designer shades.
Other newspapers ran similar gung-ho stories about the prince's military exploits.
His comments were made during a 20-week deployment as a gunner in a British Apache helicopter that has just come to an end. The interview was released for publication Monday night after the 28-year-old Harry was safely out of Afghanistan.
Former officer Charles Hayman, who edits a yearbook on British forces, said the comments may raise the already high threat level against Harry.

Do you need to revamp your office wardrobe or just want to stay in style while around the workplace? If you do, then you might as well keep abreast with the hottest fashion trends. Though if it is your first time to incorporate trends into your usual corporate outfit you might be curious as to what the options are.
In this article, you will find different fashion styles and fads, learn to apply them and turn your dull office outfit into a fun and vibrant look while still keeping office-appropriate.
Although there are several ways you can go about in discovering the latest workplace fashion trends, one of the most favoured and reliable sources on finding popular clothes and accessories are through printed fashion magazines. Magazines provide you the latest style trends and beauty must-haves on the runway, red carpet, and local scene on a monthly basis; you can either subscribe where the magazine will be delivered to your door automatically every month at a discounted rate or you can choose to buy the magazine whenever you want to at your local bookstore or any news stand.
Most magazines contain a work-appropriate fashion and beauty section where they often have individual stylish pieces of clothing, accessories and shoes or sets that are put together to create of office-appropriate outfits and sometimes wardrobe essential that transition or are wearable for day-to-night office/event emergency or short-notice calls. Fashion magazines are equipped with images and helpful articles on how-to's and Q&A as well.
One other way of keeping yourself in the loop with the newest trends is through regular internet surfing where you can check out websites, virtual magazines or even better, follow and subscribe to your favourite fashion and style blogs for your daily dose of fashion inspiration. Plus, fashion blogs lead you to online fashion stores and boutiques from popular designer name brands to mainstream fashion to hand-made, custom retailers like Etsy to exotic shops that offer one-of-a-kind or sometimes even customizable goods; some that may not even be available in your city or country but can be purchased online.
Hot items are usually marketed by being displayed in a web store's front or home page. Some online shops even provide ratings and reviews for each product that assist you in decision-making. If you like something you probably saw on Instagram or whatever social media platform that's fashion-related like Karmaloop codes (freshrepcodes) on Twitter whether it's clothes, accessories or shoes for work, play, formal or casual, you can easily look it up through the search bar and quickly browse through the pages of an online fashion store.
Ordering goods is very easy – with a few mouse clicks and credit card access, you can have your order delivered to your house in just a matter of hours or days depending on where you live, where the item is shipped from and what type of courier is used for Shipping & Handling.
If you wish to incorporate stylish trends into your daily casual to corporate to event work wear, here are some really chic trends that we think you'll have fun mixing, matching and creating multiple looks all throughout the week and even over the weekend.
- Bow Tie – Want to make your corporate look chic? Why not put on a bow tie? If men wear neckties, we think women in bowties would look sexy- any colour just not the red coloured one or you might be mistaken for a present (you know… for a bachelor's party!) Otherwise, it would be smart to play it safe with white, grey, peach or any neutral color at least. Some blouses are sold with it already that you just tie around the neckline and voila! It's fun and formal-looking, definitely shows who's lady boss!
- Pastels – Inject pastel colours into your office outfit to make things appear lighter; A sheath or shift dress in blush pink, peach, or grey will take you from day-to-night.
- Floral prints – Florals in huge, bold prints are in trend; they are better than smaller floral prints as small ones are more for the teens and the bigger ones suit the mature woman better. Floral prints are great statement-making pieces; You can easily incorporate this trend into a dress, a blouse, trousers, skirt or blazer.
- Pencil Cut Skirts – A pencil cut skirt is a fabulous fashion piece- great for day to evening occasions. It's great way to conceal a heavy bottom and the perfect go-to office outfit because of its right length and cut. Experiment with colour and fabric on this one; try a lace pencil cut skirt for femininity.
- Pointy-toe pumps – We see this trend everywhere – runway, red carpet and even on the streets! Celebrities and street-stylists are diggin' pointy-toed pumps because they're not only good-looking but they are also an absolutely fantastic way to highlight those lean legs and make them look shapely. They are your ultimate pair for the office plus, you can wear them 'til wee hours of the evening paired with a cocktail dress, skirt or even a pair of chic shorts for a night-out after work.
Evidently enough, there are several options and a number of sure fire ways in finding the best and latest fashion trends. As note to yourself, with so many trends that come and go, a 'hot trend' doesn't necessarily mean it suits the workplace. Take extra precaution and be wary of the styles considering in particular the cuts and fabric of garments. For example, sheer is included in this season's hottest trends but the material isn't exactly fit for the office, is it?
However, 'peek-a-boo' another hot trend can be applied into your outfit. Otherwise you can combine these two trends. You don't have to go all out sheer and expose more than what's supposed to, play with silhouettes and go peek-a-boo only enhancing minor details of your assets but be mindful too. Of course, prior to implementing a fashion trend into your work wardrobe, make sure that you are wary of your environment, position and image.
If you hold a highly relevant position or an executive in the company, make sure that you are projecting a dignified and respected person with the right image. Keep in mind what is essentially acceptable and ones that are not to avoid breaking office rules and stirring controversy around the work environment.

Oil Paint is the medium of instruction for beginners because it is the most flexible and versatile painting medium and it is also the primary medium used over time in the development of painting technique. In Painting III and IV students may chose to work in another medium experimentation is encouraged but on the introductory level it is best to learn one medium well.
At the first level of painting students learn how to handle the medium through such techniques as flat paint application, blending, impasto, glazing and scumbling, and wet into wet. Students work further with compositional skills acquired in Drawing I and Two Dimensional Design to create images with interest and tension as well as pleasing relationships of color, scale, texture, value and line. Students learn how to mix color, which means having a grasp of color theory and relationships. Students come to understand how color relates to space. Basic skills involved in rendering are covered: how to minutely observe surface detail and color and light to "paint what you see."
At the second level, students consolidate skills learned at the beginning level and progress to more difficult and challenging problems in representation and abstraction. At the next levels students broaden their field of reference to include the work of contemporary painters and work on problems that are important to the contemporary moment in painting. They also are trying to identify the style and subjects which engage them as art practitioners.
Facilities Painting has 7,333 square feet of studio space open 24 hours a day. This area includes individual studio spaces for students with an emphasis in the discipline.
Painting Faculty Sarah Gutwirth is a professor of painting. She received her MFA from Pratt Institute, a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and a BA in Art from Reed College.

In an earlier blog post, we outlined the primary differences in curling brushes, with one of the first items mentioned being the material comprising the brush shaft.
Typically brush shafts are made of carbon fiber or fiberglass (or some combination of the two). If we were to draw an analogy with cars, a 100% carbon fiber brush would be the Cadillac, while brushes with shafts containing fiberglass (at Goldline, this would be our Fiberlite brush) would be considered your basic Volkswagon.
Now, truth be told, the Fiberlite brush is a terrific option for many curlers, particularly those who are new to the sport or play primarily for recreation. That being the case, why and when should you consider investing in carbon fiber?
The reason is simple a straightforward: carbon fiber is lighter than fiberglass (see chart below) and the lighter the brush, the more effective your sweeping should be.
|Carbon Fiber
|170 grams
|200 grams
|270 grams
|300 grams
A difference in weight of 100 grams (just over 3 ounces) may not seem significant, but those who curl more competitively will confirm that using a lighter brush will improve your sweeping. You will be able to apply more pressure using a carbon fiber brush and hence carry a rock further.
Carbon fiber does carry a higher price tag, but if you are thinking about taking your game to the next level, it may well be worth making the investment!

Congrates Ali & Hayes! Video is available at the link below.
Congrats to Ali Larter and husband Hayes MacArthur!
The 38-year-old star of the new spy drama Legends and Heroes alum announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she is pregnant with their second child, smiling as she rubbed her baby bump, which she covered in a chic, form-fitting sparkling dress and black blazer.
Fallon cheered and clapped and then bent down and proceeded to speak to Larter's belly.
"Hey buddy!" he said.
Larter and MacArthur, 35, are parents to a 3-year-old son, Teddy, who was born in 2010. When she was pregnant with him, the actress announced his gender on Fallon's former NBC talk show, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon, 39, and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, welcomed their first child together last year. Their daughter, Winnie Rose, was born via a surrogate.
On The Tonight Show, Larter talked about her methods for trying to conceal her growing baby bump.
"I just keep telling [people] I've just been eating so many cheeseburgers," she joked.
She also talked about cooking with her son Teddy, her new cookbook and her new show, Legends, which also stars Sean Bean, who played Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. The show premieres on Wednesday on TNT.
We first told you about the upcoming flick The Diabolical during our round of incessant AFM coverage (seriously, thank god that's only once a year). Thankfully, this is one project out of the show that is actually happening! Read on for the latest!
Deadline reports that Ali Larter (Varsity Blues, Final Destination, "Heroes") is set to lead The Diabolical from Preferred Film & TV. She'll play Madison, a single mother who with her children is awoken nightly by an increasingly strange and intense presence. She seeks help from her scientist boyfriend, Nikolai, who begins a hunt to destroy the violent spirit that paranormal experts are too frightened to take on.
The Diabolical marks the feature debut of genre-influenced commercials and music video helmer Alistair Legrand, who is directing a script he co-wrote with Luke Harvis. Preferred Film & TV's Ross Dinerstein is producing. Content Media Corp (CMC) is backing the project and will rep North American rights with Preferred Content while CMC's Jamie Carmichael sells international.
Filming begins in February 2014 so look for lots more soon.
Yes, I'm SUPER behind, lol.

The Art of Elysium, a nonprofit organization that pairs volunteers from the arts with children battling serious medical conditions, has announced actress Ali Larter and husband Hayes MacArthur as the next Spirit of Elysium award recipients. Jennifer Howell, the organization's founder, made the announcement at the LA Art Show opening night party Wednesday.
All the proceeds from the premiere party will help the Art of Elysium's efforts to increase the number of school children who visit the Getty Museum through its Title One School visits program.
The award is given each year to an artist that has shown consistency in volunteering for the organization. The program's participating artists provide acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing workshops for ill children.
Larter and MacArthur are the first couple to ever receive the award. Past recipients include David Arquette, Elijah Wood, James Franco, Kirsten Dunst and Eva Mendes.
Larter and MacArthur will be officially honored at the Art of Elysium's seventh annual Heaven Gala, to be held in January 2014.
EXCLUSIVE: Former Heroes star Ali Larter has been tapped as the female lead opposite Sean Bean in TNT's drama pilot Legends, from Homeland's Howard Gordon. Legends, developed by Gordon, Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Mark Bomback from the novel by Robert Littell, centers on Martin Odum (Sean Bean), a deep-cover CIA operative who has an uncanny ability to transform himself into a different person for each job. Larter will play Crystal, an operative with D.C.O. who has a history with Martin and initially objects to his return to the task force. Co-starring in the pilot, from 20th TV's Fox 21, are Steve Harris, Amber Valletta, Rob Mayes, Tina Majorino and Lux Haney Jardine. This marks the second consecutive pilot starring role for Larter at 20th TV, which also cast her as the lead in another CIA drama last season, Fox's The Asset. Legends is executive produced by Gordon, Nachmanoff, Alex Cary and Jonathan Levin and showrunners Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff.

The Apollo missions have been the cause of much wonder and speculation, and a new feature based upon the book by author Barry N. Malzberg entitled Beyond Apollo is casting up and headed our way.
Directed by Michael Grodner, Beyond Apollo stars the recently signed Ali Larter ("Heroes", Resident Evil), Scott Speedman (Underworld), and Bill Pullman (Independence Day, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Lost Highway).
Produced by Aaron Ockman (Children of the Corn: Genesis, Hellraiser: Revelations), the interstellar terror tale now has the support of sales company Stealth Media Group with Cloverfield director Matt Reeves signing on as an executive producer. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in the fall.
Look for more on this flick soon. In the interim dig on the plot details below.
The first two-man mission to Venus is aborted in mid-flight and abruptly returns back to Earth. When rescue crews go to retrieve the space capsule, they make a startling discovery: The Captain is missing, there is no sign of his body whatsoever – and strangely enough, the lone surviving astronaut has no clue about what took place.
Beyond Apollo tells the riveting story of when that astronaut, Harry Evans, returns to earth and must answer to the authorities about what really happened on board the doomed flight to Venus. His mind-bending struggle to figure that out is a harrowing journey through the possibilities: Was the Captain murdered? Did he commit suicide? Or were alien beings responsible for his demise? The answer, as Evans will eventually discover, is far more terrifying than anything he could possibly imagine.
Based on the award winning book by Barry N. Malzberg, Beyond Apollo captures the eerie isolation of delving into the unknown, begs us to ask the unanswerable, and marks the separation between the real, unreal and surreal.

1 teaspoon
vegetable oil
1 (4 pound)
pork shoulder roast
1 cup
barbeque sauce
1/2 cup
apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup
chicken broth
1/4 cup
light brown sugar
1 tablespoon
prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1 extra large
onion, chopped
2 large cloves
garlic, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried thyme
hamburger buns, split
2 tablespoons
butter, or as needed
Perfect! Followed the recipe to a T and it was great. There were a TON of leftovers. I used a 5 pound roast. I put some of the extra meat in the fridge for later and still had a lot of leftover meat. I filled my muffin pan with scoops of meat. Each individual muffin tin holds the same as a typical sandwich. I put the muffin tin in the freezer and froze the individual serving size leftovers. After about 2 hours I took the tin out removed the meat muffins. Next they went into a ziploc and they will not all stick together. To reheat just pop one in the microwave on 50% power. These are great for a quick sandwich, with rice, with beans, or with eggs.
I was so excited to try this, but ended up a little disappointed. Although it was very easy to get together and the pork turned out perfectly and just fell apart, the taste just wasn't doing it for me. It was way too sweet for me, I was hoping for more of that smoky flavor. If I make this again I won't be adding any sugar, maybe more vinegar and maybe some liquid smoke to give it that pulled pork flavor.

Absolutely delicious!!! I would give this one 10 stars! I cooked on low for 10 hours, then shredded and kept it on warm for a couple more hours. I am seriously keeping this recipe forever. This is the perfect weekend bbq/potluck food, and went great with grilled corn on the cob and red potato salad. Also, when you shred the meat you can remove most of the fat. I think you could do without the oil. I used kraft honey bbq sauce - just what I had on hand. SOOOO tasty. You can't stop eating this.
I pulled 40 lbs. of pork using this recipe for my son's graduation party. I also froze it before reheating it in crockpots. I received many compliments. It turned out much more moist than the root beer recipe I tried earlier. I did serve BBQ on the side, but I'm not sure it needed it.
Made this with a 6 lb. pork loin roast I had bought on reduced for quick sale. I followed the ingredients increased for my size of roast, except for using dry mustard in lieu of prepared and adding liquid smoke. I cooked on high two hours and then low for seven. I took the meat out and it shredded with complete ease two hours before serving, then placed back in the crockpot. There was alot of liquid and needed to reduce a good two cups worth after placing the shredded meat back in the crockpot. Added a bit of BBQ sauce and liquid smoke at that point to give the meat a bit more flavor, even though it was tender, still lacked that BBQ flavor. After another two hours this was the best tasting pork I've evern made in the slow cooker. Our guest even requested to take home some for lunch the next day. I'm not sure I'd add the broth next time, I feel the fat in the meat made plenty of juice. *Note when placing meat in crockpot, always leave the fat side on top so the juices sink down into the meat while cooking...read that somewhere.
Good flavor. Estimated cooking time was about right. The only change I made was omitting the thyme as I don't like the flavor with pork. I'll definitely make it again.
This is amazingly good!! The roast I had was 8 pounds and this recipe easily doubled in my large oval crock pot!! We had lots of leftovers which we froze....and it was just as good after freezing!!
This is an excellent recipe. My family loved it and it quickly disappeard. I used a 2 1/2 pound pork roast and it turned out perfect. I have tried to find a good recipe for pulled pork for years. My search is over, this is it!

This unit is part of the Elective Secondary Humanities Teaching method sequence that includes ECS720 (available in Trimester 1).
This unit utilises both disciplinary and interdisciplinary pedagogies. It begins by exploring the disciplinary content of the Humanities, Societies and Environments teaching and learning area (Geography, History, Economics, and Civics and Citizenship) and familiarises students with current curriculum documents which identify learning standards in associated domains. After considering dominant classroom pedagogies used within, and outside of the school classroom, learners explore theories around notions of cultural institutions, and identify a number of sites for possible learning in Humanities domains. Simultaneously, the class will explore constructions of multidimensional citizenship, focussing on temporal (history and futures), spatial (geographic) and sustainable (economic) dimensions. Students study project based and inquiry learning, as well as seminar based activities highlighting practical applications of theoretical understandings developed in this course.
