"When you book your tickets you can also book hotels at our special Minecon rates," added Mojang. "We have a variety of hotels available with different prices and different distances from the Convention Center."
The developer adds that more information about this year's convention will be made available in the coming weeks. "There will of course be panels from Mojang and many community members, an awesome tradeshow where you can check out cool products and services revolving around Minecraft, and of course lots of Minecraft merchandise for sale."

iPhone jailbreaking problem
View Single Post

Posts: 5
hey folks, I just got an iPhone 4 as my 21st birthday gift and I was psyched as ****. i was itching to just jailbreak it and get all sorts of crazy apps. Plus i live in pakistan so i was thinking of unlocking it too. The thing is, the first time i turned my phone on it seemed to have been unlocked and jailbroken already. My friend pointed it out after seeing cydia on my phone (at this point i didnt know **** about jailbreaking and unlocking iphones). Knowing my iphone was jailbroken my friend told me to download installous 4.0 and i'd be able to download all sorts of apps directly on my iphone. My friend ended up downloading installous 4.0 on my iphone and installed it. After installing installous the phone asked to be rebooted, which i obviously allowed. After that reboot the phone was stuck on the apple logo for 2 days. So i read up online and decided to restore my iphone to 4.3 iOS, being scared that my iphone was bricked. Well, i was wrong about that, the phone works - its just stuck on the emergency call (which im guessing is because of it being locked). I know there is a tethered jail break for 4.3 iOS, but i dont choose to follow that. My question is there a way for me to downgrade to 4.2 iOS, knowing my iphone is stuck at the emergency call? Please any help will be appreciated. Im sorry im a complete noob at this, please i need some sort of direction.

Product description
The poignant -- and at times very funny -- novel from the author of 'The Magician's Assistant', winner of the Orange Prize, repackaged and promoted as part of Perennial's fiction promotion in 2008. Latin terrorists storm an international gathering hosted by an underprivileged country to promote foreign interest and trade, only to find that their intended target, the President, has stayed home to watch his favourite soap opera on TV. Among the hostages are a world-class opera singer and her biggest fan, a Japanese tycoon who has been persuaded to attend the party on the understanding that she will perform half a dozen arias after dinner. The tycoon's engaging and sympathetic translator plays a vital role in the subsequent relationships between so many different nationalities closeted together, interpreting not only the terrorists' negotiations but also the language of love between lovers who cannot understand what the other is saying. Ultimately, it is the terrorist strike that does more to promote foreign relations than anyone could have hoped to achieve with the party.

Author information
Originally from Los Angeles, Ann Patchett has also written 'The Magician's Assistant' and 'The Patron Saint of Liars'. She lives in Nashville and is the Tennessee Williams Fellow in Creative Writing at the University of the South.
Review quote
'A beguiling mix of thriller, romantic comedy, and novel of ideas!Crisply written, immaculately plotted, and often very funny, it is that rarity -- a literary novel you simply can't put down.' The Times 'Like the blueprint of operatic performance that she has imported, Patchett slides from strutting camp to high tragedy, minute social comedy to sublime romanticism.' Alex Clark, The Guardian 'Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction. Comparisons are tempting to the unabashed romanticism of Laurie Colwin, the eccentric characters of Anne Tyler, the enchantments of Alice Hoffman. But Patchett is unique; a generous, fearless and startlingly wise young writer.' New York Times Review of Books 'A fantastically gripping novel of romance under unexpected conditions.' Cosmopolitan

Massey's Frozen Custard Carlisle PA – Open Since 1949 Carlisle, PA
Posted on: September 29, 2010
- Phone: (717) 249-2258
- Website: https://plus.google.com/110645738099632392889/about?gl=us&hl=en
For some reason I totally forgot I had to tell you all about Massey's Frozen Custard in Carlisle PA, and now it's too late because they're closed for the season. I had hoped they were still open, but when I called just now the message said "We are closed for the season, see you in the spring" so that's that. But I'm telling you about it now so it can be on your list of places to check out next spring!
It was just about a year ago when Retro Roadhusband and I drove past Massey's on our road trip south, and I vowed to return in season to check it out. One sunny day a few weeks ago I did just that, and was happy to see that this classic ice cream stand – open since 1949, was doing a brisk business. While they do serve regular ice cream, who could resist home made frozen custard? Not me!
I couldn't resist it so much that I dove into my dish of vanilla immediately, totally forgetting that I wanted to take a photo! You can see how thick and good it is from what I hadn't devoured, right?
Massey's is handily located across the street from Dickenson College and next to one of the athletic fields (so you'd think they'd be open longer into the school season? Eh, whatevs, their decision, not mine!) and is basically a walk up ice cream window housed inside the small brick building. There are a few picnic tables in the back if you don't want to get right back into your car.
My fave thing besides my frozen custard was their great vintage sign:
So cheery looking with the bright blue sky behind it, Retro Roadmap Flickr pal I Saw The Sign captured this vintage lovely with the neon all aglow AND animted, in this video below, and graciously allowed us to share it here. I had no idea it was an animated sign – cool!
( if you want to see loads of cool roadside photos check out I Saw The Sign's Flickr Photos- and thanks, David for the use of the photo!)
So while this season is already over for Massey's, we have next season to look forward to!

I'm a die-hard ice cream stand lover – it could be a sunny warm day in NOVEMBER and I'd go! Nonetheless, I hear that the business changes in September. With the kids back in school and the days shorter, business drops. But in March, it can be barely above freezing and people line up!
http://www.RetroRoadmap.com Mod Betty / RetroRoadmap.com
Glenn, I hear you on that one! I've been told that the "fact" that folks from Boston eat more ice cream per capita has been disproved,but I think ice cream is great year 'round. Even walking in the snow makes me think…mmmm….vanilla!

Lincolnshire man stole cash from his grieving mum's bank account
Posted: November 10, 2012|
A MAN used his mother's bank card to withdraw hundreds of pounds from her account behind her back, Lincoln Crown Court had heard.
Timothy Blythe moved in to help look after his mum in April this year after her own mother died, assisting her around the house and in her garden.
But Christopher Geeson, prosecuting, said that Blythe obtained the PIN number to her bank card after looking over her shoulder while she was using a cash machine.
Blythe then took the card and made a series of withdrawals totalling £680.
His mother only discovered what had happened when she went to the bank to check the balance on her account.
Mr Geeson said: "The defendant admitted to her that he had taken the money."
The court was told that Blythe has since repaid some of the money.
Blythe, 36, of Hale Road, Heckington, admitted three charges of fraud between July 15 and August 29.
He was given a 12 month community order with 300 hours of unpaid work.
Judge Sean Morris told him: "Whilst your mother was grieving you stole from her. I cannot think of a lower form of human being."
Andrew Kerrigan, defending, said that after the offences were revealed Blythe went on holiday with his mother.
He said: "He accepted his responsibility as soon as his mother became aware. He made admissions to the police and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
"He is devastated by what he has done and is remorseful."
He said that Blythe had already spent a number of weeks in custody while on remand awaiting his sentence at the Crown Court.

I drive Packard/Huron Parkway every day. The roads ARE plowed. You just need to look at the piles at the side of the road or look at side streets that are NOT plowed to see a comparison. Yes, some snow remains on the roads, because it snows after it's been plowed. As someone else pointed out, huron Pkwy has a speed limit of 30 and 40 mph so there's no pressure to drive faster than you feel safe doing. And I'm not some hotshot young punk driver (though I wish I were!)--I'm a middle-aged woman driving an '01 Ford Focus. Get over it ya'll!
I just found this article today and wanted to comment to add WCC, but I see stephenjgill beat me to the punch. I love WCC. I have taken classes there (first to get a web certificate and then for fun in botany). I find the instructors knowledgeable and with real-world skills. I also teach adult enrichment classes there (in gardening) through the Lifelong Learning program and find students interested and interesting. WCC offers so much to so many, for so little.

DennisP, I agree levity is much needed in politics. I think a good sense of humor could help a lot of politicians, for sure!
Harriet Hughes, said "For the first time I feel change is possible. If we keep doing what we did, we keep getting what we've got," she said. "There's a lot going on in this country, and we're better than this."
Amen, sister. Amen!
meanmustard, I work at UM and UM knew it was an issue, one they did not plan to address. In fact, the UM president sent an email to all staff quite some time ago saying essentially that. I wish I'd saved the email so I could provide official quotes.
Heather, my yard is actually pretty large for a city lot, I just don't have a lot of sun. After six years in one garden (the longest I've lived anywhere since I was a child!), things are finally starting to spread and grow. Hooray!
Garden Girl, I also do what you do--"plop" things into the ground at what may not be their final destination, but where there happens to be room. I don't have an actual blank space for this (though I do wish I had a sort of holding bed), so they go in wherever. My two red yucca, for example may not be in their final location. The one is a slightly sheltered position (good for winter) but not sunny enough (bad for growing season), and the other is the opposite. It's actually fun to have had one garden long enough to be at this stage! I, too, declare planting season over!
I read the story about the fire on Wednesday and am happy to learn Zac's painting survived! Even though the fire was a terrible thing, this story still makes me feel happy to read good news once in a while. Zac seems like a very strong young man.
I think it's great what this guy is doing, all for free. Obviously safety is important, but this sounds like politics or neighbors or something OTHER than safety. Face it: If the place were truly a fire hazard it would have been shut down NOW, not given a warning.
Hi dillerna,
Thanks for letting us know about East Jordan Plastics. It's good to know other growers and retailers are recycling. Perhaps they can provide me with a list of the retailers they serve, so people reading this blog will know where they can take their containers to be recycled.
isn't it sad when something lives down to your expectations? Though it IS positive to have intact isms. Dangling isms are just so last year.
Hi Randy,
Thanks for posting and let us known when your program starts!
Thanks to Austin Herman who emailed to let me know the insect I had previously identified as a grasshopper is in fact a katydid!
bambushka, planting them in less than optimal sun will prbly cause them to be a bit shorter, hence (or fence!) possibly solving your staking problem. Also, you might consider cutting them back before they bloom, though I can't say exactly when as I haven't grown them. I did order another type through Old House Gardens though, Bonne Esperance. (I really like single flowers better than doubles--and they droop less as well, since they weigh less.) Finally, I'm not sure where you live, but maybe you want to trade some of those dahlia tubers next spring at my plant exchange in Ann Arbor! :)
bambushka, I don't grow dahlias myself (though I ordered a really cute one (Clair de Lune) for next year from Old House Gardens, but Toledo Botanical Gardens staked each main stem with really tall thin individual stakes.
I am a tree hugger! The tortoise was my favorite pic, too! I mean, yes, you expect to see some cool plants on a garden tour, but I can say with absolute certainty I did not expect to see a tortoise! And he was big--maybe a foot high and two feet long.
Most garden tours are pretty cool, so long as the gardens are created by gardeners or homeowners. I went on one tour once where all the houses were very high-end and all the gardens had been professionally landscaped (you know, about three types of perennials all in groups of five repeated all over and maybe two types of trees--one a standard and one weeping) in about the last year or so. Boring! I have a whole rant about how landscaping is the opposite of gardening, but at the same time, that says it all.
A fellow garden blogger, Carol at May Dreams Gardens in Indiana, has written about garden attention distraction syndrome (GADS). It's pretty funny.
Another bad habit I have is not wearing gloves or my sun hat because I think I'll only be out a minute or so. I inevitably have red cheeks and pricks from something or other in my hands. DOH!
I'm relieved the Kroger is staying. I affectionately call it my "hole-in-the-wall" Kroger--it's much smaller than all other Krogers, but I love the mom & pop feel. I recognize all the cashiers. Even though there isn't a self checkout aisle, I've never waited long in line. The newly-remodeled Carpenter Road Kroger is equadistant from my house, but I prefer my little HITW. I for one don't need/value the mega expansion with underground parking, though I 100% want the Kroger to stay. Ah, "progress."
I recently visited Denver, which I loved. (The botanical garden is awesome, but I get that's not everyone's motivation!) My niece moved from MI to Colorado Springs, which I also visited. Loved the mountains. Loved the sky. And was shocked to see building everywhere--roads, houses, office buildings, etc. Apparently the economy there is growing, though I think the economy is tough all over. I would move to CO. The guys who started Arbor Brewing Company (or SOME pub in Ann Arbor; I know someone will correct me as needed) came here from CO and moved back, saying business there was better.
I like the train and agree is affordable. However, I love megabus--it's a steal. Depending on how early you book, as low as $2.50 round trip from Ann Arbor to Chicago. No, I am not kidding. Average prices are $10 to $15 each way.

How to Deal With People Who Underestimate You
It is a problem that some people underestimate you. But if you're really more than what they say/think you are, then you'll have to deal with them. This article will show you how.
1Are they underestimating you? How do you know? How do you know that they aren't right about you? Do you think that you are a lot better they think you are?Ad
2Okay, then you have confidence in yourself. Good job, because that's the first step.
3Realize this is a golden opportunity. Proving people wrong is such a fun thing. You have people in your life who think you are a lot less than you are, and wow are you going to surprise them. You are going to surprise them, right? Remember that.
4Every time they say something negative, remember how you will prove them wrong. Every snicker, mean look, laugh, whisper, negative comment is another opportunity for you to just keep silent and remember the day that their current words will look so dumb. The day they will be proven wrong.
5Shut your mouth at all costs. Speaking to them will only hurt you. You don't feed a diamond necklace to the dogs, don't feed your positive energy to someone who is negative.
6Concentrate on your goals. If you concentrate on their negativity, you risk becoming negative and cynical like them. You need to stay positive and concentrate on yourself.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Remember that words affect you. Thoughts do not. You can't control what others are thinking and you can't please everyone. And who cares what people think.
- You can stick up for yourself if you like, but be very careful with your words as you do, keep them simple. Say few words like "You're wrong." Or "Too bad you think that" or something, and that's all.
- Never be like the cynics. You don't like how they act, why would you want to follow their example? So always show others positivity and bring them up. This will also help you.
- Don't argue with them. You will only hurt yourself. Don't waste your energy on negative things. You have to think about the positive.

Mellow Johnny's
Austin, TX
When Lance Armstrong opens a bike shop, it's bound to be a big deal--Texas big. Case in point: The brick structure that Mellow Johnny's calls home once housed a sprawling Pearl Beer warehouse. Inside, everything is designed to create a welcoming atmosphere, from the precise placement of display cases to fine architectural features like the exposed I-beams overhead. In one corner, sunlight pours from expansive picture windows to illuminate a collection of Lance's Tour de France bikes.
The store attracts plenty of competitive riders, but the sales floor brims with nearly as many basket-clad cruisers as it does carbon race models. And as Armstrong himself might say, it's not just about the bikes--the store also offers Austin commuters showers and storage space.
Nebo Ridge Bicycles
West Carmel, IN
Nebo hosts some of the largest group rides in the country, and its three weekly rides attract as many as 200 cyclists--from first-timers on hybrids to pros training for national-level races.
Sellwood Cycle Repair
Portland, OR
Dozens of bikes hang from Sellwood's ceiling like a colony of bats. That's because Sellwood's entire floor is given over to a team of mechanics who churn through countless repairs a day.
Fitzgerald's Bicycles
Jackson Hole, WY
This store bills itself as a neighborhood cycling pub and has the interior to back it up: Mechanics ply their trade from behind a long bar top, and dark mahogany fixtures frame the many road and mountain bikes for sale. Fitzgerald's group rides are legendary, partly because they begin and end at Jackson's Snake River Brewery next door.
The Pedal House
Laramie, WY
Adorning the exterior brick wall of this former saloon and brothel is a two-story-tall mural of Thomas Stevens, a onetime local who 124 years ago became the first man to ride a bike around the world. Pedal House keeps his adventurous legacy alive, handing out free trail maps to customers, doling out great advice to beginners, and supporting local racers.
Freeze Thaw Cycles
State College, PA
Six years ago, two ambitious Penn State students began refurbishing used bikes in their dorm and selling them to fellow undergrads. Eventually, that homespun business evolved into Freeze Thaw, which is operated out of a bustling store in downtown State College.
Although business is expanding, the shop owners still pride themselves on offering excellent service. Specialized frame-prep tools hang on a green tool board and are used to assemble every bike that passes through the shop, and the mechanics are meticulous about wheel builds. While the vast network of singletrack nearby helps sustain healthy mountain-bike sales, Freeze Thaw's employees are as enthusiastic about selling commuter bikes as they are full-suspension models.
Fat Tire Farm
Portland, OR
This mountain-bike shop has one of the nation's largest selections of suspension forks, disc brakes, and knobby tires. And its service department is so good that the other 60 shops in town have been known to bring its mechanics their hardest suspension fixes.
Bicycle Habitat
New York City
There was a time when riding in New York meant dodging taxis and avoiding wheel-swallowing potholes.
Thankfully, the recent influx of bike lanes has improved the situation somewhat. Few people have worked as tirelessly to catalyze that positive change as Bicycle Habitat's Charlie McCorkel. His store on Lafayette Street has been a key force in pushing for a more bike-friendly New York since it opened in 1978.
Visitors are greeted by 5,000 square feet of showroom space where mechanics in the open-air service area operate with the vigor of short-order cooks, efficiently turning out gleaming new bikes--many going to new riders. For more than 30 years, the Habitat has been making New York more bike-friendly. It's great to see the city is finally catching up.
Velo Cult
San Diego, CA
What began as a garage-born hobby restoring and selling classic bikes has turned into an institution in downtown San Diego. Veteran mechanic Sky Boyer opened Velo five years ago and now caters to commuters, tourists, and other urbanites.
Wheel and Sprocket
Hales Corner, WI
Cycling trade groups routinely rate this six-store chain as one of the best outfits in the country. While Wheel and Sprocket's size and profits may garner recognition, its community programs bring customers back: The shop supports more than 20 charity rides and sponsors seven race teams.
Bike Peddler
Santa Rosa, CA
Three decades ago, the Peddler became the first shop outside Marin County to sell production mountain bikes, and it recently doubled down on the category, moving all road bikes to its sister shop, NorCal Bike Sport. Service manager Abe Driedger has been there for 35 years, which means there's absolutely nothing he can't fix.

fresh apricots, pitted and diced

I used a frozen banana which eliminated the need for ice. I also did not add any extra sugar. I thought this was good--the kids did not like it, though. I'd make this again for me.
This was yummy! Mine had more of a banana flavor than apricot, but that could have been the size of the apricots. I only used 3 t of sugar to save on the calories and it turned out super. Thanks for the fun treat!

This is more of a milkshake rather than a smoothie even thought I did add extra ice. The banana flavor totally overwhelmed the mild apricots. All I could taste was banana and sweetness. In spite of that, it still was good, but doubtful I'd make again.

Dale King of the Portsmouth Spartan Kettle Bell Club barked out instructions to participants, people covered up with warmups to escape the early morning chill and teams huddled for strategy. It was the Scioto County Gym Challenge outside Spartan Stadium Saturday morning.
"It's our first ever, and we've got teams of four women, or teams of four men, and we have 25 teams here," Wendy Waugh of Southern Ohio Medical Center said. "We will be participating in four different events."
Those events include the Kettle Bell Burpee Ladder, a cone drill, a relay, and deadlift.
"It's a collaboration and a coalition of Scioto County gyms," Waugh said. "We're doing this really to establish relationships among ourselves, so that we can join together to get the community healthy."
Lucas Wright was one of the organizers of the event.
"We have a bunch of area teams, here from some of the gyms - SOMC Life Center, PSKC, Fire one and Shawnee put together a team, the Portsmouth Fire Department put a team together," Wright said. "But we also have teams from Huntington and I believe Cincinnati or Columbus has a team here as well."
Wright said The Kettle Bell Club has brought a new type of workout to the community.
"It gets people more out of the traditional lift, and more into the crossfit lift type of lifting, which is good if people don't have a lot of time," Wright said. "Actually the Life Center is looking to get cross fit there coming in January. It's always good to have other people interested in fitness and getting the community healthy."
Wright said the top three of the male and female teams would receive awards, and if a team happens to be the best at a certain event, a male and female participant would also receive awards.

ERWIN — Unicoi County Animal Shelter Director Jessica Blevins was not present at Monday's meeting of the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen. While the meeting was being held, Blevins and several shelter volunteers were taking part in a fundraiser for the county's animal shelter.
Because of this, it was after the fact that Blevins learned the Board of Mayor and Aldermen had voted 5-1 that the town of Erwin would not to contribute financially to the Unicoi County Animal Welfare Board in the 2013-14 fiscal year. As a result of this move, the town will go back to operating its own shelter separate from the Unicoi County Animal Shelter. See coverage of Monday's meeting here.
"We were completely blindsided," Blevins said Tuesday.
As part of a countywide interlocal agreement, Unicoi County's three governmental entities — the town of Erwin, the town of Unicoi and the county itself — contribute annually to the animal shelter's yearly budget. Blevins said the shelter, which has served the county's three municipalities since it opened, had requested a contribution of around $23,300 from the town of Erwin for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
At Monday's meeting, Erwin Mayor Doris Hensley said the animal welfare board previously submitted a request seeking a 3 percent increase to the town's standards contribution for the 2013-14 fiscal year. Town Recorder Randy Trivette said the animal welfare board also verbally requested funding to go toward 2 percent salary increases for shelter employees.
"With us paying our own rabies control officer, providing our own vehicles, the gas, the maintenance and equipment, we felt that it would be more economical for the taxpayers' money if we went back on our own," Hensley said Tuesday.
However, Blevins said the $23,300 sought by the animal welfare board for the upcoming fiscal year is the same it requested last year.
"The shelter board has not asked, nor expected, any additional funding from the town," Blevins stated in an email sent Tuesday. "The funding provided previously by Erwin was given to cover wages only — all operational expenses are earned by the shelter through fundraising, donations and program income. Additional funding for staff raises or additional operational increases were not requested from the governments. The shelter's ultimate goal was to become more self-sufficient each year through fundraising and donations, and request less with time."
The town operated its own shelter prior to the opening of the Unicoi County Animal Shelter a little more than five years ago. The town's shelter was located at a facility adjacent to the county's current shelter, and this is where Erwin will once again operate its shelter.
Blevins said the Unicoi County Animal Shelter had intended to use this facility to house cats, and renovations were under way. As part of a previously-approved agreement between the town and Erwin Utilities, Erwin Utilities is to construct new restrooms near the Erwin Linear Trail. After this is completed, Erwin Utilities can claim the property.
"We were blindly notified that the property the building was sitting on was traded with the utility company during a land swap, and that the building would be demolished in the near future, after much work to renovate the space," Blevins stated in her email. "The facility will now become the town of Erwin's Animal Control facility."
Trivette said Monday that dogs will be available for adoption at the town's new shelter, and attempts will be made to locate the owners of dogs rounded up within the town's limits. Animals would be transported elsewhere for euthanasia. He also said cats would fall under the town's nuisance ordinance, and cat owners who fail to keep their pets on their property could be cited into court.
Blevins said the previous Erwin animal shelter operated as a "pound" in which stray or unwanted dogs were held for a short period of time. She said adoptions, rescue placements and community services were not offered as they are now at the county shelter.
"If the facility continues on that path, city residents will have to surrender dogs to that facility, and not the adoption center we currently operate, with no other choice available for city animals in need," Blevins said. "Cats will not have any options. Citizens and animals in Erwin have lost a lot of valuable resources in terms of animal care and welfare."
Since the county shelter opened, it has taken in nearly 9,100 animals.
Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch said he was surprised by the Erwin board's decision, as it was not discussed with the county. He said he is unsure if the county will be able to "pick up the tab" to support the shelter, but that the matter would be discussed. He also voiced concern that the decision could threaten the county's shelter.
"This definitely puts the animal shelter in jeopardy," Lynch said. "I would have thought there could have been some sit-down time among the three entities and the (animal welfare board) before the town of Erwin decided to do this."
Like Blevins, town of Unicoi Mayor Johnny Lynch said he was "blindsided" by Erwin's decision not to contribute to the shelter, and that he was "disappointed" that other entities involved in the interlocal agreement did not receive notice prior to the vote. He said he would like to discuss the matter with county officials and "reassess" the shelter situation.
"I had no idea they were getting ready to do anything like that," Johnny Lynch said. "I would have thought they would have met with the three partners and discussed this before they did something like that, but evidently they didn't want to, so they didn't. I guess that's their privilege."
Hensley said the town of Erwin has not yet allocated money for its shelter. She said the matter would likely be discussed when the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen meets on June 20 for a budget workshop.
"As it stands right now, we're not going to be participating in the Unicoi County Animal Shelter," Hensley said.
Unicoi County Animal Welfare Board member Linda Mathes said the animal welfare board will meet this Thursday at 10 a.m. to discuss the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen's decision and what the next steps are for the Unicoi County Animal Shelter. Blevins said some numbers will also be crunched so that those involved with the county shelter can get a better idea of the impact of the Erwin board's decision.
"It does threaten the shelter because we're a small community, and that's a lot of money when you total up our portion, that portion, and then what we may have to come up with based on the interlocal agreement stipulations," Blevins said. "So, we won't know at this time, but you do the math on that, for a small shelter like this, that would be detrimental."

"The owners are friendly and thoughtful," "the cabins were perfect," and "the restaurant was outstanding" at this peaceful retreat near the Metolius River. —Raves from LivingSocial Members
The Destination
When central Oregon's wheat farmers desired a quiet mountain vacation in the 1920s, they traveled to peaceful cabins set near the Metolius River. While a lot has changed since those first visitors cast a line in the river, the sentiment remains the same: Here, in the thick of the 2.6-million-acre Deschutes National Forest, which is home to more than 1,600 miles of hiking and biking trails, life revolves around peace, quiet, and communion with nature.
The Digs
Turn off technology and cue up the sounds of the great outdoors at Lake Creek Lodge. Several of the cabins still stand from the resort's early days, most are pet-friendly, and all come with a fully equipped kitchen. After stories are told and plates are cleared, play a friendly game of pool or ping-pong at the lodge. Later, doze off with a book by the lodge's fireplace, then whip up a homemade meal in your cabin. Or, hit The Bridges Restaurant for cinnamon rolls, bread, and pastries, plus a cup of joe from the espresso bar. It's open Thursday through Sunday for breakfast; and Friday and Saturday for dinner by reservation only. Kids ages 10 and younger can even eat free with the purchase of any item.
The Diversions
Hike. Deschutes National Forest
Fish. Metolius River
Ski. Hoodoo Mountain Resort
"This is a wonderful Escape. The owners are friendly, thoughtful, the food was FABULOUS. The cabin was cozy, right on the creek, and so very close to the Metolius River, the Camp Sherman store and everything. I love this place!"-- LivingSocial Member
"Great getaway. Nice people. Good hiking and biking. Close to town, yet plenty to do right on the premises. While it was just my husband and I, it would be an excellent place to take the family for an affordable, safe, vacation."-- LivingSocial Member

California Kid Wants to Save the World – One Can and Bottle at a Time
Twelve-year-old Avery Sax has a motto she lives by: "Wish it. Dream it. Do it."
"You can make a difference," she told the Ventura County Star, her local newspaper in Moorpark, California. "It's important to put dreams into action."
And when Avery dreams, she dreams big.
She has reportedly launched a campaign to collect one million bottles and cans to recycle by the next Earth Day – April 22nd, 2013.
That would be an ambitious goal for any kid.
But for Avery, it's even more ambitious.
The reason?
She's fighting a life-threatening condition at the same time.
According to the Star, Avery has an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in her brain – vessels that could burst and cause deadly bleeding.
Doctors have reportedly used radiation to try to treat the condition.
But they say there's no way they can remove the blood vessels without doing more harm than good.
Avery told Star reporter Michele Willer-Allred that she has "great days and not-as-great days."
"(But) I don't have bad days," she added. "(And) I never think about dying. I think about living."
Avery has launched a number of projects to collect all those recyclables.
For example, she asked that people bring bottles and cans to a Hanukkah festival in Moorpark on December 9th, in order to make "the world's first ever recycled menorah," according to the Star.
And earlier this month, she asked people to bring bottles and cans to a special ice-skating party.
According to Avery, skating is a lot like life itself.
"(It) looks beautiful," she told the Star. "It's glamorous. You glide on the ice. And it's so much fun. And then you fall. And it's cold and hard and uncomfortable.
"The only thing you can do is get back up," she continued.
And that's exactly what Avery has done.
"You need to have faith in yourself to get back up and to go on," she said, "and live your life to the fullest.

I've been working with computers for a few years. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I've now seen the abomination.
I'm visiting my in laws. My father in law bought a Dell 305 All in one printer. He is not a heavy user. So I noticed the "low ink message."
With his other printer he bought a Universal Refill kit on the advice of a friend. I decided to be a nice son in law. I checked the net found someone say where in a Series 9 cartridge (black) to punch the hole. Did that and filled it.
But it still gets a low ink message.
AS I said, I've been around for a while- my first printer was a dot matrix without descenders. A firected up the search engines.
Abomination! Sign of the beast is not 666 it is 305!
Dell in it's infinite desire to boost profits and drive off repeat customers has buried a chip in the ink cartridges, You can refill to your heart's content but apparently only an act of God can undo the Satanic designs of Dell. By the way the Dell is apparently a Lexmark in sheeps' clothing so a pox on Lexmark too.
If any one knows a group of nefarious hackers with white hats who have figured out how to reset the "damn" chip I'd love to know.
I'll also mention they bury printer stuff down in the Registry as if registry wasn't already top heavy enough.
AS for me the next time I buy ANY product I'm going to think LONG AND HARD before I buy ANY Dell or Lexmark product. What Michael Dell isn't rich enough? Maybe someone can hack into his bank account and fix it so he always sees a "low money" warning! It would serve him right!

Buttonflowers - MMD
Other than the round up, I get many fun ideas that I try to incorporate into my daily wear. Savvy Abbie wore this outfit during the challenge, and even though I don't own a similarly printed skirt - I DO own this dip dye skirt in similar color gradient. I could have sworn I had worn this tee with this skirt. Maybe I have, but according to my OOTD folder, I haven't. So thanks to Abbie for the inspiration! I might have missed out on a great pairing thinking I had worn it before.

He had left the group "secretly" though not "publicly", i.e., his bandmates were unaware of his plans to kick things down quite a few notches and turn indie-folk full-time. So this year's The Hurry and the Harm is the first effort to be recorded and released while the Canadian singer-songwriter finds himself with fewer constrictions and fewer limitations.
This notion is apparent from the get-go as Green cleanses himself on the leading song when, near the end of the loss-tackling track, his falsetto repeats, "I'm going back to the start." Immediately after, "Harder Than Stone" picks up a bit, and the back-to-back punches showcase an expanded sound for the singer right from the onset. To help expand that palette Green enlisted Jack Lawrence (The Racounteurs, The Dead Weather), Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket), and drummer Matt Chamberlin (Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple) on this sophomore release, a move seemingly made possible by his new freedom, and one that rounds his sound out. "The Lonely Life" proves this by presenting time changes and melodic tricks far more surprising and catching than anything on Little Hell. And while Green's voice is lovely in falsetto, it's a treat when he goes a few octaves deeper, which he is more wont to do here than he was on any of his previous solo affairs.
Songs like "Golden State" and "Paradise" could have slid right into his somber, oft-deemed "emo" 2011 release, as he sings "I'm searching for a paradise/ That I just can't seem to find," over lethargic guitar and a maraca on the latter. But with the door open for new faces on board and some experience under his belt in this new-to-him genre, Green shows a new depth and further proves the jump from shaking walls in a post-hardcore group to melting hearts with his current project was the right move.
