James C. "Jim" Bracken
James C. "Jim" Bracken, age 88, a Folsam Road N.W., Carrollton resident, passed away late Sunday afternoon, March 7, 2010, in his home following a lengthy illness.
Born Nov. 19, 1921, in Brackenridge, PA., he was the son of the late Frank R. and Helen E. Pearson Bracken.
He retired in 1971 from the Timken Company at Canton after 30 years of service, and then became part owner of North Canton Drain and Sewer for 15 years.
He was a member of the Dellroy Christ Community Church. He was an enthusiastic sports fan and enjoyed watching and feeding the wildlife at his home "Standing Rock" in Carrollton. He was a 32nd degree Mason, being a member of the Fidelity Lodge at Canton, and was a member of the Dellroy I.O.O.F. Lodge #706. He faithfully served his country as a World War II Army veteran, having participated in campaigns in the European Theatre. Jim loved to play his guitar and sing, and had once been a member of the "Carroll County Gang" musical group. He enjoyed bowling, and had participated in bowling leagues in both Dellroy and Canton. He was also an occasional golfer.
A member of the Carroll County Humane Society, he was extremely fond of his pet dogs and cats. And, among his other hobbies and activities, Jim also enjoyed gardening.
He is survived by his wife Marilyn J. Mishler Bracken, whom he married April 27, 1947; his three children James E. (Cynthia) Bracken of Dover, Carla J. (Jim) Martin of East Canton, and Kristina K. (William) Lee of Louisville; seven grandchildren, Michelle S. (John) Riddle, Holly J. Bracken, Todd J. Bracken, Brian J. Martin, Jamie L. Whaley, Kevin J. Martin, and William C. Lee; six great-grandchildren, Marisa Whaley, Alexandria and Benjamin Martin, Bodie and Peyton Riddle, and Malaina Martin; a brother, John "Jack" (Evelyn) Bracken of East Canton, and three sisters, Norma Karcher of Orange City, FL, Shirley Pritchard of Canton, and Joanne (Jim) Lindimore of Orange City, Florida.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Janice I. Powell.
To honor Jim's wishes, he will be cremated and a memorial service celebrating his life will be conducted at Noon Friday, March 12 in Dellroy Christ Community Church located at 20 East Main Street, Dellroy, with Rev. Rick Chappell officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions may be made to the Aultman Hospice, 2821 Woodlawn N.W., Canton, Ohio 44708. The Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home at Sherrodsville is handling arrangements. To leave an online condolence message, visit www.baxtergardner.com. Jim's family would like to extend a special thank you for the compassionate care received from the staff of Aultman Hospice and Aultman Home Healthcare.

- Bev Berringer-Ruggeri, 2013 Nationals Coordinator for the Basset Hound Club of America
"The Purina Event Center is the ultimate site to hold Specialties. From the excellent service of the staff to the large, bright, cool exhibit hall to the bucolic setting, you could not ask for a better site to hold your Specialty. I cannot wait to attend another specialty here!"

"Besides the obvious advantages of plenty of space, good on-site food concession, and the wonderful flooring, the natural lighting seemed to be the most common thread in exhibitors' likes. Since coat color is an even more important judged attribute with cats than dogs, it is understandable that daylight-type lighting was such a big hit."

Hoşgeldiniz, Giriş
The newest YoYoJam metal is here, and it is here in the form of the Karma!
Bu ürün için puanlama yoktur Ödül puanlarınız
This is the second metal yo-yo by YoYoJam to have the concept of a heavy middle as opposed to heavy rim weight.
This yo-yo is insanely smooth and plays unresponsive out of the box sporting a C size bearing and YoYoJam's silicone stickers.
A full metal yo-yo with a metal weight ring; the concept has created a new genre in the look and feel of yo-yos. The Karma continues the trend set by the PHENOM with a metal body + metal weight ring.
Even with the same type of medal, the midship weight's specific gravity affects the way the yo-yo plays and feels, improving the spin greatly. With the super low edge, the Karma feels very well suited for complicated string tricks. Despite their similarities, it seems like the Karma and the PHENOM are best suited for different kinds of tricks. This new manufacturing process may not yet be standard, but if you're looking for the next standard in yo-yos, perhaps you've already found it.

The distance, online learning courses are for students at schools that dont offer the course, students unable to make the offered course due to unavoidable scheduling conflict, students who are medically homebound, students who have been suspended, and students who need the course for credit recovery or graduation.
Like regular courses, students will have to complete prerequisites. Students will also have to obtain approval from the principal, adhere to District policy for behavioral codes, and adhere to attendance requirements.

Thumb drive follies
June 13, 2013 - Harry Eagar
I don't know anything really about computer security, but I've read a few books about it. One thing I learned -- or thought I'd learned -- a long time ago was that thumb drives were a big threat but easily defeated: Just epoxy the USB ports.
I brought this up with a computer security expert some 20 years ago, and he told me, more or less, "We don't do that any more. We have internal methods that are better."
Seemed wrongheaded to me then, but what do I know? It's like keeping deadly weapons locked up where 4-year-olds cannot get at them. Seems a simple enough solution to me.
So how did Bradley Manning smuggle out his secrets? Thumb drive.
And Snowden? Thumb drive again, according to the Los Angeles Times.
My son-in-law has a security clearance, and at his facility (which I visited on family day last year), you cannot bring in a cellphone, or a camera (I was allowed to use a camera on the grounds outside).
This is in Hawaii, not far from the NSA offices where Snowden worked. Apparently the Air Force takes computer security more seriously than Booz Allen does.

Was Bill Gates a security risk? Einstein? They are not.
History repeats itself. Many don't like America can become Pilgrims and sail off on a ship called the Hayflower and return to England. English don't want Americans nor do other countries. They just want free money given by Americans.
What say craterman? One thing I find about fox news is that it is comprised of all losers who lost the race to become President. Daily they say one thing and lie only to lie again and contradict themselves. They live a life of lies and not sure what the truth is. Read the definition of a conservative and liberal.

Richard Branson, the Virgin Group founder, did not go to college.
Jun-14-13 12:44 AM
Did Bill Gates graduate High School? Yes, he did. Everyone knows Gates did not graduate college or Einstein as well. They would teach instead of learn.
johngault, calling others doppess reflects on you. That is the only echo in this forum. An echo only is heard in a vacuum, where sounds bounce.
Jun-13-13 11:49 PM
Actually Einstein was a top student. The myth that he flunked math started with some moron who didn't understand German report cards.
I work at a pawn shop. Pawn shops were around before banks, and they provide credit to people banks won't touch.
And, besides you have never heard me complain about bank interest rates. So stop making stuff up, about Einstein or me.
I am not pleased about the tone of some of the comments lately. Comments good; bad manners, not good.
Jun-13-13 8:10 PM
Hey doppess, Bill Gates of Microsoft dropped out of college, Brian Williams of NBC reportably was a college dropout, Einstein was a poor student. A degree or great gaps is no guarantee of success nor is a lack of the above a reliable predictor of character and so on...... Echo on dude.
Jun-13-13 7:07 PM
Snowden never graduated High School. The picture is that he should never have gotten into a High Security job as NSA.
Jun-13-13 4:44 PM
Hey dude do you still work at a pawnshop? The rates that they charge the afflicted 99% is shameful,and you rant about the banks, go figure. But their security is better than Booz or NSA. Pawn on dude.

The rancor in Washington over network neutrality is about to enter a new phase: all-out political and judicial warfare. Federal Communications Commission approval Tuesday of ambitious new regulations for Internet service has triggered a heated debate over the government's role in regulating cyberspace--providing ample fodder for an empowered Republican Party as it prepares to take control of the House next month.
The rules were adopted on a 3-2 partisan vote, with the agency's three Democrats backing passage and the two Republican commissioners strongly opposed. The regulations are designed to ensure that the Internet is not dominated by major telecommunications and cable companies. They prohibit anti-competitive blocking and degrading of competing online services and are enforceable by the agency.
Dismissing the regulations as an unnecessary government intrusion in the marketplace, Republicans in both chambers vowed to try to block them, while industry and watchdog critics sharpened their legal daggers as they made plans to challenge the rules in court. To read more, click here.

Will I be issued a drivers license in another state if mine is suspended?
Posted on August 05, 2011
I recently moved to North Carolina from Indiana. My driver's license, I found, was suspended because of a traffic ticket that was not paid. The ticket was a minor violation for expired tags when I was on my way to renew the plates. I honestly forgot about the ticket because of several things that were going on in my life at that time. The ticket was issued approximately 4 years ago, and I have not been able to pay it. Can North Carolina BMV refuse to allow me to gain my driver's license with my Indiana driver's license suspended?

Primrose's Kitchen Launches the Eden Park Holistic Lifestyle Fair
Posted: September 02, 2014|
The Eden Park Holistic Lifestyle Fair, taking place on Saturday 4th October, is the brainchild of Primrose's Kitchen Founder Primrose Matheson. The event which is being held at Eden Park, Buckland Newton aims to promote holistic therapists, natural food producers and natural lifestyle products based in the South West.
With many stalls and pitches already booked, the Eden Park Holistic Lifestyle Fair will act as a business networking forum for professionals in the natural and holistic sectors where participants can share advice and guidance and comment on key issues such as the environment and animal welfare.
The event will also offer the public an insight to the products and services available here in the South West as well as nationally. From testing natural lifestyle products to discussing holistic therapies or natural diets there will be a wide range of opportunities for attendees to learn more about holistic and natural fields.
Primrose, Founder of Primrose's Kitchen, commented: "The aim of the Eden Park Holistic Lifestyle Fair is to bring like-minded souls together to share and experience all that is on offer in these areas in the South West. For too long health and well-being has been put on the back burner in place of fast fixes in a high-pace way of life. My hope is that the people involved in this fair can help guide us along the path of balance and empower us to get back on when we fall off…"
Although only in its first year the Eden Park Holistic Lifestyle Fair is creating a buzz within the natural and holistic sector with enquiries into pitches and attendance coming in thick and fast. The event will become a yearly staple on the natural and holistic calendar with hopes of expansion as the event grows.
For more information on booking a pitch at the fair please contact Primrose Matheson: email@example.com

At the end of racing on May 19th, Harold Noseworthy came home 12th in the A-Main after winning the B-Main.
In the first heat, Noseworthy started 11th and came home in ninth.
In the second heat, the Barrie, Ontario native started eighth and came home sixth.
As a result of his poor results in the heats, Noseworthy would have to run to the B-main to qualify for the A-Main. He would start fourth, though found his way to the lead at lap six and never looked back as he took the victory.
In the A-Main, the driver of the No. 69 Simcoe Auto Recyclers Mini Stock would start at the back due to transferring through the B-Main. He would work his way up to 19th by the first caution on lap two for Stephen Wilson spinning.
By the end of the feature, Noseworthy worked his way up through the field to finish 12th.
He now sits 11th in points, three points out of the top 10.

Thumbs up
THUMBS UP: Working together for hunger
Although civic club membership has waned in the United States, civic involvement hasn't necessarily followed suit. Lee County's three Rotary Clubs are good examples — collectively, numbers aren't what they used to be among the Sanford, Jonesboro and SanLee clubs, but they've joined forces on numerous occasions to work on community-enhancing projects and to keep pace with their Lions and Kiwanis brethren.
One such project is next Saturday's "Stop Hunger Now" — part of an international effort to provide meals in impoverished areas of the world. Strategically, SHN works to link food distribution with school attendance — so kids in exceedingly poor areas get a good meal, are motivated to attend school, and go home with not just a little bit more knowledge, but food for their families as well. This is the sixth SHN go-round for the clubs, and the event begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.
Club members and other volunteers work to put a truckload of bags of rice, soy meal and other ingredients into sealed packets of meals for a family. It's a big task: the day's goal is package 25,000 meals over the course of two shifts. It's "working together" in an exponential way. So show up to help — and bring non-perishable canned foods with you, because they'll be donated to local food pantries to help the hungry here as well.
THUMBS UP: Daylight Savings Time
Daylight Savings Time isn't a holiday, and it's likely that few of us church-goers felt like much celebrating this morning after having to arise an hour earlier, but hey — won't it be worth having the so-called "extra hour" of daylight later on?
Keep that in mind if you're reading this through yawns and sleep-filled eyes....
We're all at the mercy of the clock. Being at the mercy of the exploitive "DST" isn't as much of a hassle as punching a time clock, but it can feel like it. In a few days, we will have found a way to make it work: our sleep patterns will adjust, and as the temperatures warm more and more of us will take advantage of the best part of spring and early summer — perfect conditions for after-work exercise, pre-dusk strolls, weeknight yard work (for those who enjoy such things), and being able to use the sun's light to tell if those burgers or that chicken on the grill are really done.
Early on, DST provided the benefit of reducing evening usage of electricity. There's gathering momentum for simply doing away with moving our clocks twice a year because research into the modern-day benefits of DST is contradictory. But there's one thing no one will argue: in a week or so, when the sun's setting around 7:30 p.m. —and not during the weeknight rush hour, like it did a couple of months ago — the days won't just feel brighter, they'll be brighter.

The fifth annual Board Break-a-thon recently took place at Mount Pleasant Karate in Park West. The yearly event benefits breakthroughs in critical health care for youth at St. Judes Childrens Hospital.
Each crack of splintered boards meant donated dollars to the childrens hospital providing life-saving care for children both here and around the world. Each board was $5 a pop, adding up to thousands of dollars in donations for the charity.
Master Glenn Arnold, owner and chief instructor at Mount Pleasant Karate in Park West said, I am thrilled with the turnout because St. Judes depends on donations to make it possible to treat every child who comes, regardless of their ability to pay. Each year numerous Lowcountry children benefit from St. Judes research and patient care.
At the Board Break-a-thon, children of all ages, adult students and even some parents got into the spirit of service in the tradition of the Hwarang Knights/Samurai by facing the pine boards with a variety of techniques. The event included a cookout and opportunities to learn techniques. The school teaches the Korean art of traditional Tang Soo Do to children, teens and adults at the school and through Karate for Success in local schools. Area businesses donated services for donations to St. Judes as well. Donations for this event will continue for the next several weeks. Go the www.mtpleasantkarate.com and click on St. Judes Break-a-thon for a direct link to donate to the hospital.

SeaWorld Building Unique New Killer Whale Homes
Monday, August 18, 2014
(San Diego, CA) -- SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. is planning to build unique, new killer whale environments at its theme parks locally and in San Diego and Orlando. The "San Antonio Business Journal" reports the new, bigger settings will have a "fast water current" that lets whales swim against moving water. Other features will give health professionals and scientists unusual access to the whales. The San Diego environment will likely open to the public in 2018, while the new killer whale homes will open after that at SeaWorld San Antonio and SeaWorld Orlando.

Under the auspices of Msgre Jan Graubner, Archbishop of Olomouc and Moravian Metropolitan
St. Michael´s Temple
This Baroque structure of outstanding artistic value, characterising the Olomouc skyline with its three cupolas (verdigris-green until recently), is one of the city's dominant features. It occupies the site of an ancient chapel, donated by King Wenceslas I to the Dominican order around 1238-39, who rebuilt it in the Gothic style in the third quarter of the 13th century. The Gothic church then received a magnificent Baroque reconstruction by G.P. Tencallo in 1676-86. The interior decoration, however, was not finished until 1703. The paintings on the central cupola were made by an Olomouc-based artist Ferdinand Naboth. The Gothic monstrance is the most precious piece among the church furnishings, believed to have been made by goldsmith Wenceslas of Olomouc around 1480. The sculptures in the frontage came from O. Zahner's workshops. Part of the original 13th-century vestry was not affected by the Baroque rebuilding. The belfry tower is late Gothic, dating back to 1482.
Hradisko Monastery
This monastery, originally Benedictine then Premonstratensian (the largest of its kind in Europe), was founded by Duke Ota of Olomouc and his wife Euphemia of Hungary in 1078. Throughout its existence, it has played a major role in the history of Olomouc and all Moravia. It was entirely or partially obliterated several times. The monastery was disbanded in 1784 and the buildings served, until 1790, as a general seminar, presided over by Josef Dobrovský in 1787-1790. The monastery was later on turned into a military warehouse and a military hospital, the oldest one on the territory of the present-day Czech Republic, having been in service since 1802.
Due to its similarity to the Spanish royal palace, the Hradisko Monastery has been nicknamed the Moravian Escorial. It is a monumental Baroque compound, square in its floor plan, divided internally by a central wing with a tall tower in the centre and an outer hexagonal tower at each of the four corners. St. Stephen's Church adjoins the central wing on the right side. The monastery also comprises a farm yard. The Baroque design was authored by G.P. Tencallo; the architect of the prelature was D. Martinelli; and St. Stephen's Church was designed by either J. Hildebrand or G. Santini. The internal decorations are by P. Troger, Daniel Gran de Malelo Torre, and K. Handke.
St. Wencelas' Cathedral
The cathedral was probably founded by Duke of Destiny Svatopluk in 1106; his son Wenceslas continued the work only to commit it, on his deathbed in 1130, to Bishop Jindřich Zdík to finish. Zdík consecrated it on 30 June 1131. It was a triple-nave basilica with two massive Romanesque towers. Only the perimeter wall foundations have been preserved from that structure, along with a crypt buried under the temple floor paving, and the bottom parts of the towers. The temple was rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1265. Bishop Stanislav Pavlovský had a central tower inserted in between the two end towers in 1589-1595, and Cardinal Dietrichstein had a massive early Baroque chancel built. Requested by Cardinal Fürstenberg, master builder Meretta gave the cathedral an extensive reconstruction in the Neo-Gothic style. He built two smaller Pseudo-Gothic towers on the bases of the originally Romanesque ones over the frontage, added a new 100-metres-tall tower, and completely refurbished the presbytery as well as the entire interior in Neo-Gothic. The Neo-Gothic altar is adorned with four captivating early Renaissance sculptures purchased from Rome's Santa Maria Maggiore Church. The cathedral nave is separated from the elevated presbytery with a tall grille and embellished with two tombstones: one in memory of the two Přemyslid princes Vladimír and Břetislav, whose remains were transferred here from the Hradisko Monastery, the other in memory of Bishop Mark Kühn, made by ironmaster Hans Straubinger of Nüremberg.
Temple of Visitation of Virgin Mary – The Holy Hurst
The area of the Holy Hurst was covered with forest until the 17th century. A legend has it that an Olomouc burgher Jan Andrýsek had a small chapel built here since he had once made an oath to build a house of worship to Virgin Mary on a hillock east of Olomouc if he ever became wealthy. He kept postponing the fulfilment of the oath until he had Virgin Mary remind him of it twice in his dreams. He could now fulfil his oath, as he had inherited his brother-in-law's fortune.
The chapel was ruined by the invading Swedes in 1643. The Hradisko Monastery renewed it, and later on, in 1669, commenced the building of a grand pilgrimage church consecrated to Virgin Mary. A Premonstratensian residence and a large inn for the pilgrims appeared by the church later on.
The pilgrimage church of Visitation of Virgin Mary – a basilica minor since visited by Pope John Paul II in 1995 – is a monumental Baroque structure built after a design by G. P. Tencallo in 1669-1679. The frescos in the cupola and the presbytery are J. Steger's works; J.K. Handke rendered the paintings of St. Augustine, St. Paulina (the patroness of Olomouc) and the Guardian Angel. The stuccoes are by B. Fontana, B. Fossati and J. Hagenmüller. Sculptor J. Winterhalter made the sculptures on the main portal and the pulpit; J. Heinz authored the sculptures on the main frontage. The building of the residence commenced in 1714, along with two single-storey wings on either side of the church, a chapel to St. Anne, and the cloisters. Fourteen statues (St. Sebastian, St. Roque and the twelve apostles) were positioned on the alure of the residence.
St. Maurice´s Temple
A triple-nave Gothic church the construction of which started already in the 15th century and went on into the first half of the 16th. The south tower was completed and the nave was commenced in 1403. The north tower had been erected by 1412, but after that the construction was halted until after the Hussite wars. The temple interior was only completed in 1540. The church was befallen by numerous fires, the last one in 1709. The Baroque choir was added in 1723 and had a "king of musical instruments" by a Wroclaw master organ builder Michael Engler installed in 1745. Engler's organ was refurbished in the 1960s. The sculptural decoration of the church is predominantly by Filip Sattler; the Neo-Gothic altar was erected by J. Halbig of Wuerzburg in 1859. The remnants of a rotunda from no later than the 11th century were unearthed during the archaeological survey in connection to the Prior department store construction. The second St. Maurice church in the succession was probably a Romanesque-Gothic structure, likely completed as early as 1257 and burnt down in 1398. The present-day temple is therefore not the first, but likely the third, building of the same consecration.
Archbishop's Palace
The seat of Bishops and Archbishops of Olomouc is located in Wurmova Street. Its unusually broad street facade (85 metres) with three portals and several dozen windows catches the eye of every passer-by. The frontage hints at the building's wealth and representative beauty that it holds inside. It consists of seven two-storey wings composed around two rectangular courtyards, a splendid private chapel, and a number of solemn representative halls with a wealth of artistic collections. It is therefore one of the greatest and most beautiful palaces in Olomouc.
The construction was started by Archbishop of Olomouc Stanislav Thurzo in the first half of the 16th century. His humanistic literary education lent him a broad purview, and he was a prominent promoter of the then novel Renaissance culture. Jan Dubravius, Thurzo's successor, had the palace completed. The palace fell prey to a great fire in 1661, during the Thirty Year's War.
The new structure was erected by Bishop Karel of Lichtenstein after designs by Italian architects F.A. Luchese and G.P. Tencallo. The interior artistic decorations are also predominantly works by Italian masters. The residence building has been preserved it its original form to this day. Only minor modifications followed a fire of 1904.
The latest restoration works were initiated by the Archbishopric of Olomouc in the 1980s, and the present-day splendid state of the outstanding building is thanks to it.
The Archbishop's Palace has made it into European history on several occasions. Emperor Franz Joseph I ascended the throne here in 1848, and the Austrian imperial court had its seat here in 1848-1849, in hiding from the Revolution in Vienna. Olomouc was then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Church of St. Mary of the Snows
This monumental Baroque building, a Jesuit and university church, was erected in 1712-19 under the mastership of Lukas Glockl and after a design by Adam Glockl. Václav Render designed the frontage, and the Zirn workshop supplied the sculpture work. The following painters authored the richly decorated interior: J. K. Handtke, K. Harringer, J. Sturmer, J. Wickart, and J. J. Schmidt, assisted by sculptors Thomasberger and D. Zirn. The church contains a tombstone in memory of Bishop Vilém Prusínovský dated 1572; the altar holds a Gothic sculpture of Virgin Mary from the late 14th century. The organ, dated 1726, was made by G. Helbig.
Annunciation Church (The Capuchins')
A plain Baroque church, built after the stereotypic design for Capuchin churches in 1659-61. The Capuchins had had a monastery in Olomouc already before 1614, but that was torn down in 1620. The original fresco on the church frontage had been by Jan Kohler, but it was replaced with a mosaic by K. Benedík in 1972.
Church of Immaculate Conception (The Dominicans')
Built in 1454-1468. Its irregular septilateral (seven-sided) polygonal roof is an architectural rarity. The church was consecrated in 1468, the ceremony attended by Hungarian King Matthias Korvin, who was elected Czech King in Olomouc one year later.
A monumental drawing was discovered during a 1983 restoration; it depicts the Battle of Belgrade (22 July 1456), where an army led by Jan Korvin Hunyady (Matthias Korvin's father) managed to defend Belgrade from Turks. The drawing shows both Hunyady and Jan Kapistrán, who was inside the besieged city praying for its liberation (Jan Kapistrán was a preacher man in Olomouc Bělidla).
Olomouc Mayor Tobias Schwonauer had a chapel annexed to the church in the liking of the Holy Grave of Jerusalem. The Dominican order has resided in the adjoining monastery since 1785; it was reconveyed the monastery buildings after November 1989 and has renovated them gradually to this day.
Huss Congregation House
A triple-nave basilica with an asymmetrically positioned belfry. The main chapel area is situated on the elevated ground floor, accessible via a monumental stairway, over which a portico rises upon six columns with stylised capitals. The house of worship is topped with a domed trough-shaped roof sporting a fleche lantern and a spire. The central nave vault, segmented with ceiling coffers, is independent of the roof structure. The naves are defined by profiled colonnades. Both the apse and the entrance past the vestibule, below the organ loft, have semicircular ceilings. The tower is located asymmetrically in the rear of the church, topped with a chalice. The structure is interwoven with vertical window openings. The monumental nature of this Neo-Classicist building is especially accentuated by its urban position along the northern segment of Olomouc circular avenue. The building was completed in 1924-1926 after a design by local architect Hubert Aust.

HP's Slate 10 HD Android tablet arrives on the FCC
HP's latest foray into the tablet market arrived on the FCC yesterday. The tablet, known as the Slate 10 HD, was first unveiled in September along with a 7 inch model.
The Slate 10 HD won approval for its WiFi, Bluetooth and wireless data capabilities (GSM and WCDMA). Support for LTE was not included in FCC documents, but its like that this will be included in future FCC filings.
HP's 10-inch Android tablet arrives on the FCC
Yesterday, a new 10-inch Android tablet from HP made an appearance on the FCC. Pictured above in label location photos, the device won approval for the use of GSM and WCDMA frequencies, as well as Bluetooth and WiFi.
HP did not disclose a marketing name for the tablet, but the device's model number is HSTNH-B15C.
Barnes and Nobles BNRV500 Nook hits the FCC, boasts 4GB of storage
A new version of Barnes and Noble's Nook made its way through the FCC today. The device has the model number BNRV500, and label location pictures, above, show a design that's similar to the Nook Simple Touch.
Test reports for the BNRV500 indicate that the device will feature 4GB of storage, as well as the same 1,530mAh battery that's used by the Nook Simple Touch (BNRV300).
It appears that the BNRV500 will be an upgrade to the existing Nook Simple Touch. The device has 2GB more storage than the existing Simple Touch, and the design of the BNRV500's back is slight different than the current version Simple Touch.
Check out Barnes and Noble's FCC filings here.
Dell's Venue 8 Pro and Venue 11 Pro Tablets Arrive on the FCC
No surprises here, but Dell's Venue 8 Pro and Venue 11 Pro tablets slipped through the FCC during last week's government shutdown.
Dell's filings for the Venue 8 Pro show approval for Bluetooth and WiFi, while so far it looks like the Venue 11 Pro has only received approval for NFC.
You can see Dell's filings here
Three New Amazon Tablets Pass Through the FCC
Three new Amazon tablets passed through the FCC on Friday, joining the Kindle Fire HDX which appeared on the FCC on September 24, 2013. As usual, Amazon's FCC filings were made through third party – this time Amazon chose Kilpatrick LLC. Kilpatrick LLC, which is likely just a shell company that Amazon will use for this round of FCC filings, was responsible for the FCC filings of the Kindle Fire HDX, which has the FCC ID S2F-8560 – you can see the filings for the Fire HDX here.
Amazon's new FCC filings show four tablets with the FCC IDs S2F-5830, S2F-6740 and S2F-7650. Predictably, Amazon doesn't give many details about the tablets, other than required band usage and simple label location pictures. Based on Amazon's FCC filings it looks like the new tablets are just different versions of the Fire HDX. For example the S2F-6740 features LTE connectivity while the S2F-8560 is a WiFi only device.
In any case, Friday's FCC filings are a good indication that the 4G versions of the HDX will be shipping soon.

This morning's Winston-Salem Journal lays it out pretty clearly in an editorial on the matter of funding for the University of North Carolina. The paper says it is time for Gov. McCrory to stand up to his budget director and conservative political moneybags, Art Pope (who has launched a new and public effort to forestall needed growth in university spending).
This is from the editorial:
"Pope, who has his own conservative political constituency, has long been a UNC critic. The UNC operations request alone is for 4.6 percent. And while Pope had instructed state agencies to keep increase requests to 2 percent or less, the university's response must be considered in historical context.
Over the last five years, the UNC operational budget has been cut by hundreds of millions of dollars. UNC officials have found efficiencies to cover some of those lost funds, but they've also weakened the education they deliver.
Additionally, students have been hit with big tuition and fee increases while state funding has dropped. All of this in a state where the constitution guarantees a university education that is as close to free as is 'practicable'…. Read More

God wants you to trust Him in all things because He wants what's best for you. There are often times when you will travel down paths of darkness that seem to have no end and you may even wonder why you are there but in those moments you can always turn to God and He will light the way.
Eventually, there will come a time on your journey that you will look back and be able to clearly see that everything you have been through was necessary and you will be amazed at how much you have spiritually grown in your understanding. Don't allow your doubts or insecurities to get in the way of the great work He wants to do in you. You are very special in God's eyes and He has a great purpose for your life and He will guide you to where you need to be as long as you are faithful, patient and continue to allow Him.
Are you ready to allow God to guide you into all things good? Ask God to lead the way and give you eyes to see your purpose.

TB: "So far as I can tell, the early reviews for THE BIG O in the States have been very kind. Did you always expect the Americans to get you?"For the rest, clickety-click here …
DB: "The reviews have been terrific. I'm stunned, to be honest with you. Kirkus even gave me a star, and I haven't had one of those since primary school … No, it's great. And I didn't 'expect' anything, that's being straight. The way THE BIG O came about, being co-published and all, everything since has been a bonus, just enjoying the ride. So to get good reviews Stateside … I guess it does make sense in one way, because the influences on THE BIG O are all American. The models for the kind of story it is were Elmore Leonard and the movies of the Coen Brothers … that kind of off-beat comedy crime caper they do so brilliantly. So I suppose it's hardly surprising that American readers might 'get' the story, or the way it's presented. Mind you, I should probably say that the reviews, they've been very kind in that some of them have mentioned Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake and Carl Hiassen … but I think that that has more to do with how few reference points reviewers have in the context of comedy crime capers than the quality of the book."

Product description
Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos. Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince--leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life....

By theEPICrat 04 Feb 2012
Hi, I am the(EPIC)rat, and I have a fantasy problem. I read Touch Of Power a while back, and it has tipped me into a full-blown addiction for fantasy of a similar ilk. Since I am unable to find anything that matches that sort of fantastic and romantic and sarcastic, I am undergoing some serious withdrawal until I find the next fantasy fix!
{Fans of Sharon Shinn: READ THIS} I love me some Sharon Shinn and totally fell in love with Troubled Waters! I did not think another author could reach that level of awesome, but Maria V. Snyder has nailed it with Touch Of Power. It reminded me of Mystic And Rider with a group of characters traveling to reach a certain destination. As I begin to dip my toes more often in the fantasy pool, I realize that there are some similar elements that float from one book to the next: a widespread plague that also targets the royal family, forbidden magic, an underdog who holds all the answers, etc. They may all start blending together, but Maria V. Snyder wove the story into something that felt all brand new and exciting.
{Group dynamics} I have never met a more enjoyable group of characters! They were funny, heroic, and downright temperamental when the scene called for it. Sparks especially flew for Avry and the leader Kerrick as they exasperated each other every step of the way, and I ate every bit of it up!
{Strong female lead} Avry kicks some serious ass! She may not ace the test on stealth and steel, but she can keep her wits about in the face of danger. None of this fainting and wimpering for this girl! No, ma'am. Quick on her feet, quicker to think and learn, and quickest to do the right thing, I think Avry may give Alanna a good run for her money. What really sealed the deal for me is that, underneath all that tough exteriour, Avry has a wicked sense of humor :)
{The cover} I wish the US cover looked less girly and went more along the lines of the UK one. I think the cover does the story a disservice because it makes Avry seem all rainbows and starshine, but she is actually full of throwing knives and healing powers.
{Left me sad and lonely} I wish this story could have went on longer - and I am not sure how soon Touch Of Power will turn into a series. Answer: NOT SOON ENOUGH.
Seriously? GO READ THIS BOOK NOW for the love of all things fantasy. I have not been THIS enthusiastic about a fantasy book since Troubled Waters, and I admit that I can be a hard egg to crack! Fans of Sharon Shinn and Tamora Pierce who are searching for a new "it" fantasy to stalk, be prepared to eat this book up and ask for seconds.
By Novia Chang 19 Jan 2012
I'm a fan of Maria V. Snyder. Poison Study and Inside Out are two books I absolutely love so I was excited to see that she has a new fantasy series for me to get lost in. Touch of Power is classic Snyder and it does not disappoint.
No doubt, Snyder is a master at world building. The plague ravaged Fifteen Realms is in shambles and the political leaders that are left alive are scrambling to grab as much power and territories as they can. Avry, who has been hiding and on the run for years, becomes a pawn in this political game. Throw in characters with special magical abilities and carnivorous flowers big enough to swallow a person whole and you have an unputdownable book that will keep you absolutely engaged to the end.
Speaking of characters with special abilities, Avry's healing is very cool. She is also snarky and having the story told from her perspective is a treat. My only complaint is that at times, Avery's narration is a bit too modern and out of place with the rest of the fantasy setting. Still, I love Avry, she is definitely another wonderful and memorable character that Ms. Snyder has created.
Kerrick is a huge jerk at the beginning of the book. He's a brooding kill-joy and a bit of a bully at first, but thankfully, he fully redeems himself by the end. While I know I shouldn't, I did compare him to Valek from Poison Study and while I don't love him as much as Valek, Kerrick does have his own kind of awesome going for him. The secondary characters are very well written as well. Kerrick's men are so lovable and the bad guy is especially pervy and awful. He is definitely the guy you love to hate.
As an escapist reader, I really enjoyed getting lost in another of Maria Snyder's fabulous worlds. I highly recommend this book to fantasy lovers everywhere, and even if you don't usually read fantasy, you should try Touch of Power. It's that good!
Content: Kissing, sexual situations, implied sex (no detailed descriptions) and violence. This is not a YA novel and most of the characters, including Avry and Kerrick, are in their twenties. I don't think it is appropriate for younger teens but older, more mature teens should be fine.
By Shelley Cusbert 20 Dec 2011
Touch of Power is a new series debut for Maria V Snyder whose Study, Glass and Insider series have earned her many fans.
As a newly apprenticed Healer, Avry of Kazan has been in hiding since a plague swept through the Fifteen Realms decimating the population. Panicked villagers blamed the disease on the Healers, a small group of people with the natural born skill to absorb sickness and pain, who seemed to be immune to the fatal plague yet could not save the people from it. Finally caught and just hours from execution, Avry is rescued by a group of soldiers yet her death sentence has not be commuted but simply stayed, for they have abducted Avry to save the life of their plague stricken King. During the dangerous trek across the Realms at the mercy of magic and mercenaries to reach the King, Avry has a decision to make, does she save the King, or herself?
Snyder takes her readers on quite an adventure across her mythical lands. I enjoyed the creativity which governs the Fifteen Realms Since I am not a huge fan of high fantasy I was glad that Touch of Power has a contemporary feel though it's setting is decidedly other, somewhere between medieval and dystopian really, yet it works surprisingly well. The story is almost an old fashioned quest as Avry and Kerrick's team battle murderous bounty hunters, killer plants, zombies and sociopathic rulers to rescue the King and save their country. There is plenty of action, drama and suspense as well humour and romance that creates an easy to read page turner.
In Avry of Kazan, Snyder has created a smart, resourceful and strong protagonist for her new series. Avry's unique ability to heal should be regarded as a blessing but it is as much a curse for when Avry heals she takes the pain and suffering of the affliction into herself. As a Healer her power that allows her to survive almost anything, including the fatal embrace of the Death Lily, except the ravages of the plague. I liked Avry's attitude, she is outspoken and a little rash at times but with so few options available to her I appreciate her determination to create her own fate.
Avry's saviours, Kerrick and his motley crew of mercenaries - Belen, Vinn, Quain and Flea, are surprisingly endearing characters and I really enjoyed it as the bonds between the men and Avry developed. While a relationship between Avry and Kerrick does evolve, it does so slowly and works well within the story. Kerrick is just a little 'alpha' but his sense of loyalty, honour and desire to protect make up for his arrogance.
Snyder expertly balances adventure, fantasy, drama and romance with interesting characters and a creatively imagined world for a wide audience. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Touch of Power, though probably I shouldn't have been since it has similarities to Poison Study which I liked a lot as well, and I'm already looking forward to the release of the second book expected in 2012.
By Brandi Kosiner (Brandi Breathes Books) 02 Dec 2011
Ms. Snyder does it again! I loved the beginning of this newest series as much as the magic series (although my favorite by her is still her study series).
She nails another set of characters, and appeals to me with a strong heroine. Avry has a great voice, and she draws me into her story. I care about what she's doing, and can empathize with her choices, and situations.
The secondary cast is also fantastic. Kerrick is wonderfully frustrating, and I want to strangle him often. I can understand his motivations to an extent, but she writes a tough character. I can't believe how far he goes with some of the things he does, but I also can see and love the melty side that is well hidden for quite a while.
The healing is always an interest to me as a main subject, and I love her use of the lilies in the story, and the twists that she incorporates.
I was on the edge of my seat, and disappointed any time that I was interrupted and had to put the book down. I'm very happy for the chance to read this one, and I can't wait for the release of the next.
By annmarie ager 22 Oct 2011
Avry of Kazan is a healer at one stage there was many people like her but now she is the last of her kind. She has been running since the healers were blamed for starting the plague that killed so many people. Avry did the only thing she could run and hide.
The only problem is as a healer it's not always easy to watch people die when you know you can save them. When Avry slips up and heals a dying child you would think people would be grateful but no the town turns her in for the promise of gold and Avry is left waiting for her death.
The most shocking thing happens next she is rescued from the town but what do her rescuers what and what will it cost her.
Avry is a strong minded lead character from the start you really did feel for the character. She is one of those women you want to be. She is smart and she has hidden all this time without being court. She is strong minded even when faced with the worse. The author really does know how to make her characters stand out. There were a lot of unforgettable people in this book and at times you wished you could meet them face to face. You become attached to the people you're reading about and you don't want the adventure to stop.
The story line of the book was just brilliant it was a fantasy to remember there was the world it was based in. There was a raging war going on the common people are struggling to survive while the royals are all about winning no one seems to care about the people they are ruling. The book was packed with interesting things like the healers and magic and what people will do with their abilities.
The story worked really well and it had my interested from the very start. I loved learning about the people and the world the book was set in. There was none stop action and some of the funniest comments from characters. There was lies and back stabbing. I really did fall in love with the book.
By the end you are going to be holding your heart in your hand you might even cry but most of all your going to have the need to know what will happen next.
Maria V. Snyder is the queen of fantasy and Touch of power proves it.
5 stars.
Review quote
"The rare sequel to live up to the promise of its predecessor, Magic Study is a wonderful combination of romance and fantasy." -Audible.com (Editor's Pick: Best of 2006-Romance)

Last night President Bush, in his State of the Union address, had a message for Tehran's ayatollahs: "Verifiably suspend your nuclear enrichment, so negotiations can begin." Then he demanded that they "come clean" about their "nuclear intentions and past actions." What were missing were two essential words: "Or else."
The omission is all the more significant because the President used tougher language for Iran on another topic. After listing a series of Iranian transgressions including the funding and training of militias in Iraq, he said, "But above all, know this: America will confront those who threaten our troops."
I love ringing language from American presidents, but it's time to examine its effect on Iranian leaders. If I were a mullah in Tehran, the word that would be going through my mind is the Farsi equivalent of "hollow." After all, I know that I have been helping to kill American troops in Iraq for the past several years and President Bush hasn't done anything of particular significance to me. Would I be right in concluding that he will not be doing anything more in the future? And if he won't do anything about my killing more Americans, then why, in light of his use of "above all," should I think he will do anything about my nuclear program?
President Bush may be coming to the end of his second term, but as the Wall Street Journal pointed out this morning, "even a lame duck President has more power to influence events than anyone else on the planet." So he does not have an excuse. If he thought there is a diplomatic solution, he should have said so last night. If there is not—and none is in sight in my view—then he needed to tell the Iranians what is the price they will have to pay for their conduct. This morning John Bolton, interviewed by Bill Hemmer on the Fox News Channel, said that there were only two options left: regime change and the use of force. Agree with him or not, Bolton is one person who is talking about "or else."

6 Signs She's Thinking of Cheating
By: Laura Ongaro
She's Turning 25 or 30 or 35 or . . .
Decade and half-decade birthdays trigger navel-gazing-figuratively, and perhaps literally. A woman asks herself, "What have I been doing for the past 5 years?"
"She'll think deeply about her love life and its direction, and if it's not going the way she planned, she might jump at the chance to correct it with an affair," says Don-David Lusterman, Ph.D., a psychologist and the author of Infidelity: A Survival Guide.
The incidence of birthday cheating triples in women who report being in unhappy relationships, according to a survey by infidelity.com.
The plan: Be there.
There are 2 nights when every straight woman wants a man in her bed: New Year's Eve and her birthday. Leave her solo and you're giving her permission—and reason—to cheat. And remember, birthday sex is about the birthday girl. Presents are good, too. Especially jewelry.

need advice for how to plug in wireless headphones into receiver
I'm in the market for wireless headphones. I'm trying to figure out how to connect them to my current setup.
Below is a picture of the receiver. It has 5 speakers connected to it. My pc is also connected to it with a 'headphone-rca wire' (red&white) plugging into aux. At the bottom left where it says PHONES is the headphone jack. If the wireless headphones connect into that, will I have to disconnect them each time I want my pc sound to come from the speakers?
I'm a bit confused cause i've seen the wireless headphones with red and white connection as well...

There are only three shows set for this tour, but they are going to be massive. Check them out on the following dates; tickets go on sale Thursday 20 December.
Friday 19 April - The Tivoli, Brisbane
Saturday 20 April - The Metro, Sydney (all ages)
Sunday 21 April - The Palace, Melbourne
This week's new sets include music from locals Northlane, Holy Holy and Eves The Behaviour plus music from Lamb Of God and Ducktails.
