We've had a few emails on this so far, so we figured it was time to post it up and see what its all about. It seems that some T-Mobile Bold 9700 users have been provided an OTA software update that ended with OS 184.108.40.2064 installed on their devices. T-Mobile just issued an official OS update to 22.214.171.1246 last week, so this newer version seems like a bit of odd timing. The users are mostly reported to be running an official T-Mobile OS when seeing the upgrade, but I haven't been so lucky on my 9700 just yet. So T-Mobile users - whats the story? Do you have the option to upgrade to 220.127.116.114 OTA? Leave a comment and let us know so we can figure out just what's going on!
T-Mobile Bold 9700 Wireless Update to 22.214.171.1244?
Reader comments
T-Mobile Bold 9700 Wireless Update to 18.104.22.1684?
No OTA for a new OS, but don't really care till its OS6.
.586 is working great. Strong 3G signal that doesn't drop when I'm in call and everything else is satisfactory as well.
I checked and nothing. I will be keeping my eye on this update. I just upgraded to .680 Tuesday, so 2 upgrades in one week would make me happy!!!
is that really the case? I wouldn't want to downgrade from 656 and not be able to receive the ota.
why down grade your os just so it will OTA and update??? why not just DL and install the new???
for v 188.8.131.520, the platform version was 188.8.131.52
if this is really v 5.0.0714 with a platform version of 18.104.22.168, why would the platform version be so far behind .680's platform?
BlackBerry Handheld Software v126.96.36.1999 (EastAsia)
Package Version: 184.108.40.2069
Consisting of:
Applications: 126.96.36.1990
Software Platform: 188.8.131.52
File name: 9700jEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel1149_PL126.96.36.199_A5.0.0. 680_Hutchison.exe
File size: 128.04MB
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.
The packet is .1149....... most likely why bitbop doesn't work.. to new of a platform.
I'm comparing the platform version released with the application. I'm not talking about the package version.
Both generally tend to increase as newer fw versions are released. It would be peculiar for the platform version to decrease by such a large degree while the application version increases.
No dice here either....and it's the company phone, don't feel like manually upgrading then handing it over to IT retard to reactivate it on the BES....still running .330 :(
I looked under wireless update and I had nothing too? I really want to upgrade to this OS. Someone provide some insight for me.
I just got the email to update to the 22.214.171.1246 last week, which is what I am now running, the update takes the "lock screen" with the exception of the top left button... which irritates me, but other than that no issues so far.
Tried OTA update, nothing. Tried T-mobile site, nothing. I don't so much care right now. I updated to .586 last week. I can now use 3G and UMA, couldn't before. NO dropped calls (knock on wood). Battery life sticks now but I do still get through the day. Device seems snappier now.
How do you check for firmware upgrade from your phone anyway?
I know about http://crackberry.com/ext?link=http%3A%2F%2Ft-mobile.7eer.net%2Fc%2F1592.... But where is the option to check for this OTA update from the phone?
I am on TMO and running the official recent OS and no wireless update as of yet!!! heres hoping!
So 42 people have commented on here and not 1 person has been able to get this update? Why is crackberry posting bogus shit today. First this bogus story, and then the iheartradio app update (which doesn't update).?? Is crackberry gonna post an update on this story? It doesn't seem to be accurate.
The photo above is a fake ( you can tell by the # 1 being the wrong font ) but all the info listed in the pic is correct and accurate

I upgraded to .586 (or whatever it is) and used it for a day before downgrading back to .330 because of the AWFUL way .586 was showing images on the device. At first I thought my card was corrupted but after checking, I realized it was just the way the device shows pictures with the new OS. I know there's more to the 9700 than just taking pics but I just couldn't stand looking at artifact-laden pics on such a lovely screen. RIM techs, what are you, stupid? I'm actually pretty surprised that no one else mentioned this. Maybe it was just my device but I don't know how that could be.
RIM made the executive decision to fast-cache the image files for quick loading. This makes them appear grainy / poor quality, and occurs in ALL newer OS versions, just like the new locking system. "Solutions" are to either press "1" while viewing each pic, or deleting the cached *.dat file. I agree, though, both are temporary lousy workarounds. This is definitely one area where I'd take quality over speed any day. We need a setting somewhere to opt out of this new default behavior.
It's funny, I follow multiple tech blogs daily and never read this before. I've also never read anyone complain about it, which I found very odd because to me it's shockingly bad image quality. Your post was very informative and I appreciate the clarification. I absolutely agree, we need to be able to opt out of this. Sometimes I wonder if RIM techs are truly as out of touch from what consumers want as some critics claim. When I see this sort of dumb behavior from a new OS, I'm really starting to wonder. Who wants to look at a photo that's that ugly? We don't have beautiful screens just to read pretty fonts.
Trusting FahCore, this seems to be a legitimate (if slowly rolled-out) silent update. The info listed-
v188.8.131.524 (Platform 22.214.171.124)
-tells us that this is the .586 platform, with .714 Java files, customized by T-Mobile. Sort of like their own hybrid release, probably for carrier-specific bug fixes. I'm going to take a wild guess that this another attempt to solve the 3G issues that plague T-Mobile 9700 owners. It might even be only available within the areas where these problems are worst, so support agents can recommend this as a possible fix.
Still leaves me wondering why they 'shopped the posted pic. Is a real screenshot so hard to do?
But I'm pretty happy with my .586
This update is currently in the testing phase and is available via Wireless Update only for T-Mo employees attached to the company BES. They test the updates like this to fix bugs before releasing to the general public :)
If it's any consolation, I had the .586 update 2 months ago, officially, and through Wireless Upgrade.
I want to know what is the latest OS for bold 9700 for the Tmobil service but an at&t phone. I'm currently using v188.8.131.526 (Platform 220.127.116.11)
I just downloaded the new software. Haven't seen a difference yet. I hope it solves the problems I was having with my phone!
hi i found out two things different with this new os
first the standby button doesn't work anymore
second the lock is not lock symbol anymore but its just like a dim on the light off on keypad and screen only on blackscreen
and the last is the folder colour is not yellow but grey colour but overall its quite good,just miss the keylock pad symbol
714 has bogged my phone down.
It seems sluggish all over compared to 586.
I'm considering the dreaded "downgrade."
Any others done this?
Tmobile had me in a loop that kept pestering me to upgrade with an icon and loop that just kept leading me to schedule the update, begging......Really sorry I did it. the phone now doesn't hang on to 3g as well, people on other end notice poor sound quality and scratching.
UMA drops to edge in my house
SMS says "network error" if i type fast.
Camera more sluggish (if that was possible)
Bluetooth link to my Garmin gps drops.
Just seems slower all around, java, don't you love it? What garbage.
Interested in hearing what other users of 714 are saying and whether people are going back to 586.

Bahrain detainee dies in custody, opposition sees torture
A 19-year old Bahraini protester has died in the hospital while in custody. According to Bahraini police, he died as a result of chronic disease, but opposition groups argue that the detainee was injured in a protest, then detained and tortured. In light of the continued abuses of the Bahraini government, PHR is calling for the US government to hold fast to its decision to delay sales of military equipment to Bahrain.
Bahrain police fire tear gas at demo in capital
The Bahraini government has continued its violent crackdown on opposition groups, firing tear gas and stun grenades at protestors and torturing anti-government activists.

Banana Sorbet (Raw Food)
Total Time
Prep 3 mins
Cook 0 mins
This very simple recipe was found on the internet with the stipulation "...super easy to make -- as long as you have a juicer." Well, all you really need is a good, ol' fashioned potato masher & you're on! This will melt quickly, so make just enough to eat right away, or you'll need to stash some away in the freezer! Obviously, if you use very ripe bananas you'll have a stronger banana flavor!
Ingredients Nutrition
- In a bowl, mash (or in a juicer 'puree') the bananas.
- Spoon into a serving bowl, top with fresh fruit, a proper raw food granola, or nothing at all, & enjoy!
Most Helpful
If you're looking for healthy and refreshing, this is it! I had never frozen a banana before and a potato masher would only go through partially frozen bananas, but if you catch them just before they are done freezing, it's ideal. I think next time I'll try adding chocolate sauce swirls, just to negate the fact that it's healthy! Made for Zaar's Newest Tag.
Excellent! This satisfies any dessert cravings in a healthy way. Yummy. I think I will run my frozen bananas through the food processor next time to get the texture even creamier. Thank you!
cut very thin slices of a banana, freeze the slices, and throw in a food processor until the banana starts whipping up. You are going to have to scrape the sides like 4 times but the end result is creamy like real banana ice cream!!! try it!

Board to review Kappler deal
Published: Monday, November 17, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 8:27 p.m.
Animal activist Kim Kappler will pay a total of $18,082.74 in fines and boarding, medical and release costs if an agreement she signed with Henderson County on Nov. 7 is approved Wednesday by the Board of Commissioners. She originally faced a $4.4 million fine.
In July, sheriffs deputies and animal control officers seized 44 animals from her home, charged her with multiple violations of the countys animal control ordinance and assessed a $4.4 million fine. She appealed the decision to the Henderson County Animal Services Appellate Board on Aug. 7, and all of the violations and fines were upheld.
On Oct. 29, Kappler, former owner of the no-kill animal shelter All Creatures Great and Small, pleaded guilty to 86 misdemeanor charges of mistreating dogs and cats. She was sentenced to 36 months of unsupervised probation.
Under the terms of the Nov. 7 agreement, Kappler will pay a certain amount up front, with more payments made over time. She will also be allowed to take back up to 10 of her impounded animals.
She will pay $3,500 in fines, $435.74 in medical costs, boarding costs capped at $14,000 and $147 in release costs, for a total of $18,082.74.
Kappler has until today to pay $3,647 up front as a good faith payment. The remaining $14,435.74 is to be secured with a promissory note and deed of trust for her East Flat Rock home on Greenville Highway. No interest will accrue for the first year, but will accrue at 8 percent afterward. Final payment is due in three years.
Kappler agreed to relinquish 20 animals to the Animal Services Center to be adopted into new homes. The county agreed to keep them for 30 days after the Nov. 7 agreement in an attempt to find homes or place them with no-kill organizations. If space permits, the county may keep the animals longer than 30 days.
The agreement also states that, at the countys discretion, Kappler may take any animals remaining after the 30-day period if all placement measures have been exhausted, Kappler has adequate space and doing so would not violate ordinances.
The animals she chooses to keep must be removed by today. She agrees not to house or care for any of the animals she relinquished to the county, and will be fined $500 a day if found in violation.
Animals she selects must be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered at her expense. The county must also be satisfied that Kappler has an adequate place to keep the animals. The settlement agreement states that Kappler admits violating the ordinance and is prohibited from applying for a companion animal permit in the future.

A copy of the settlement can be found at www.hendersoncountync.org/agendas/November 19, 2008/index.htm under consent agenda.

Gardians of the Camargue: The French Buckaroo Tradition
|January 23 to June 30, 2007
Western Folklife Center
Wiegand Gallery
501 Railroad Street
Elko Nevada
This exhibition, curated by Lorraine d'Entremont Rawls with interpretive assistance from Guy de Galard, provides a revealing view of an ancient way of life still maintained in the Camargue region of southern France. Rawls, photographer Kevin Martini-Fuller and filmmaker Gail Steiger traveled to this area over the past five years to visit ranches and meet with gardians (cowboys) to learn about this occupational culture and its relationship to other horseback cultures worldwide.
The pursuit has culminated in the production of this traveling exhibition featuring the black and white photographic work of Kevin Martini-Fuller, the color photography of Lorraine d'Entremont Rawls, the interpretive paintings of Karen Foster-Wells, tools and clothing unique to the Camargue and the traditional poetry of Provence. Visitors can also view video footage of traditional gardian activities shot and edited by Gail Steiger.
Thank you to the following individuals and institutions for their contributions to Gardians of the Camargue: International Game Technology, Nevada Arts Council, New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, Maison du Cheval Camargue, Mas Les Marquises - The Laurent Family, Eric Forbeaux and Guy de Galard.

The Impact of War
Vietnam-Era Vet Reports for Duty
Army Spc. Tom Owens first joined the military during the Vietnam War when he was 17. He earned two Bronze Stars before leaving the service in 1992.
But nearly two years ago, when the Army raised its enlistment age limit to 42, Owens decided to sell his landscaping business and volunteer to serve his country again — at age 55.
The Army allows soldiers to subtract their years of prior military service from their age. In Owens' case, he had 14 years of active service. In the Army's eyes, this made him effectively 41 and qualified him to re-enlist as long as he passed the medical screening and fitness test —which he did. Now, Owens is assigned to the 802nd Ordnance Company, a reserve unit in Gainesville, Ga.
"You know I'm a survivor, I'm young," says Owens, who wants to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. "I stood tall in a place of hell with other Americans doing a job that nobody else wanted to do. I have no regrets. Do it all over again, you know? That's what it's all about."
On a recent Saturday morning, he and about three dozen soldiers dressed in Army fatigues were standing at attention. Many of the soldiers are in their 20s, a few are in their 30s; Owens is the only 56-year-old recruit in the bunch. The soldiers are about to be tested on their physical fitness and Owens — who lost 20 pounds to get ready for his new Army stint — is ready.
Owens, who has lived in the Atlanta area most of his life, jokes with everyone about how many push-ups and sit-ups he can do — only he's not really kidding. Within four minutes, he completes 47 push-ups and 60 sit-ups.
"I'm not gonna say anything about his age, but he's in very, very good shape," says Sgt. First Class Deborah Vincent. "And to come back in after all these years, you know, I commend him for that."
After the first part of the test ends, the soldiers head out for a two-mile run. Owens finishes in 17 and a half minutes — two minutes faster than the requirements set for his age — does an additional 25 push-ups for good measure and runs back to encourage others who've yet to finish. Owens admits that some of the younger soldiers tease him and call him "grandpa," but they also know he can outperform many of them.
"The younger soldiers look up to him," Vincent says. "If he can do stuff, they can do it."
Initially some recruiters told Owens, who never married and has no children, he wouldn't make it back in the Army. That only made him more determined.
"Tell me I can't do something and I will do it," he says. "When people said I couldn't go in the Army, I said 'I will go in the Army.'"
When battalion commander Lt. Col. Dave Johnson found out Owens was in his unit, he drove three hours to personally congratulate him.
"Maybe some other guys ... might see this and think, 'You know, the Army, maybe it's not such a bad thing,' and maybe they might come back," Johnson says. "I think it's just incredible that he's doing this."

Longitudinal cohort studies have provided insight into predictors of cognitive decline among long-term survivors of CNS tumors. A report from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed cognitive decline after conformal radiation therapy in 78 children younger than 20 years (mean, 9.7 years) with low-grade glioma treated with 54 Gy (see Figure 3). Age at time of irradiation was more important than radiation dose in predicting cognitive decline with children younger than 5 years showing the most cognitive decline.[21] Neurocognitive deficits have also been linked to poor social outcomes including poor social adjustment, problems with peer relationship, and withdrawn/depressed behaviors among survivors of pediatric embryonal tumors.[22]
Figure 3. Modeled intelligence quotient (IQ) scores after conformal radiation therapy (CRT) by age for pediatric low-grade glioma. Age is measured in years, and time is measured in months after the start of CRT. Thomas E. Merchant, Heather M. Conklin, Shengjie Wu, Robert H. Lustig, and Xiaoping Xiong, Late Effects of Conformal Radiation Therapy for Pediatric Patients With Low-Grade Glioma: Prospective Evaluation of Cognitive, Endocrine, and Hearing Deficits, Journal of Clinical Oncology, volume 27, issue 22, pages 3691-3697. Reprinted with permission. © (2009) American Society of Clinical Oncology. All rights reserved.
Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 gene polymorphisms may predict patients with medulloblastoma who are more likely to experience neurocognitive toxicity secondary to radiation.[23]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
One of the great medical success stories of the past generation is how advances in the treatment of ALL have dramatically improved survival. With the recognition that CNS relapse was common among children in bone marrow remission, presymptomatic CNS radiation and intrathecal chemotherapy were introduced into the treatment of children with ALL in the 1960s and 1970s. The increase in cure rates for children with ALL over the past decades has resulted in greater attention to the neurocognitive morbidity and quality of life of survivors. The goal of current ALL treatment is to minimize adverse late effects while maintaining high survival rates. Patients are stratified for treatment according to their risk of relapse. Cranial radiation is reserved for children (less than 20%) considered at high risk for CNS relapse.[24]

Yining is a modern city with mainly modern Chinese Architecture. But you can also still find buildings which remind of Communist times and Russian architecture.
Sailim Lake
As so many places in China, specially the ones located in Minority Areas, Lake Sailim has many ways of spelling the name. You can find it under Sairam Lake, Sayram Hu and Sailim Lake. I even found more ways of spelling and an explanation for the name:
Sayram Lake, also called 'Santai Haizi' received its name because the Elezhuyitubomu military dais was built on the east bank of the lake during the Qing Dynasty. Sayram in Kazak means 'blessing'. It lies in the Botala Prefecture in the western section of the Tianshan Mountains.
Sailim Lake is about 30 kilometers long from east to west and is over 20 kilometers wide. The lake is about 85 meters deep and is 2,073 meters above sea level.
The land around Sayram Lake is vast green grassland which provides abundant grazing land. So it the place to see yurts of the Kazak or Mongolian herdsmen. The grassland, which stretches to the horizon, is dotted with the tents of the herdsmen. Smoke from kitchen chimneys curls upward, as groups of cattle and sheep move like clouds in the sky. In August, the Mongolian people celebrate the 'Nadam Fair' for six days beside the lake. Nadam means recreation or games in Mongolian. Mongolians, Kazaks, Han Chinese and the people of other ethnic groups in Xinjiang participate in the festival. During the Nadam Fair, competitions are held in horse-racing, wrestling and archery, which are considered the three basic skills of men.
In winter, snow falls and the water of the lake turns to ice. Only a small portion of the lake can be seen in the vast whiteness of the ice and snow.
Throughout the ages, poets and writers have used vivid and glowing words to describe Sayram Lake. During the middle period of the Qing Dynasty, Ye Honggao called Sayram Lake a 'clear sea'. Later, Song Bolu used verse to describe the natural scenery of the wide and clear Sayram Lake, 'The surrounding mounts engulf; the emerald lake wipes the sky clear.'

Directions: About 2 hours drive north of Yining
Yining is the capital of Yili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, whichhas jurisdiction over Tachen and Aletai two regions and ten counties. The total area of the prefecture is 350 thousand square kilometers with the population of 4.08 million of Kazak, Hanzu, Uygur, Huizu, Mongol, Xibe etc are all together forty-seven nationalities, among them Kazak takes 25.4%, Han-Chinese takes 45.2%; Uygur takes 15.9%; Huizu takes 8.3%; Mongol takes 1.69%; Xibe takes 0.83%. In Yining you'll find people of all this cultures with different dresses and faces. It is very good place to watch people.
Tai Ji in the Morning
In most Chinese cities the Peoples Square is the center of the city. This is the place were people meet, do their Tai Ji in the morning, where parades are held and where the big holidays are celebrated. In Yining it is the same. I recommend to go to the Peoples Square before breakfast to watch people doing their morning exersizes. You can also be sure to find a lifely nightmarket near the square.
Peoples Square
In the city center of Yining is the Peoples Square. This wide square is dominated by an old building, which in my eyes looks like a rest of an old temple of Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately I did not find any informations about this. But it looks really nice and old. Today it is not used as a temple anymore.

On Wednesday, Obama was widely seen as having lost his first debate with Romney.
Jack Welch, the retired former CEO of General Electric, said on Twitter: "Unbelievable jobs numbers ... these Chicago guys will do anything ... can't debate so change numbers."
But the unemployment data is calculated by a government agency, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under tight security and with no oversight or input from the White House.
Keith Hall, a former commissioner of the BLS who was appointed by President George W. Bush, said the numbers could not have been manipulated.
"It's impossible to do it and get away with it," he said. "These numbers are very trustworthy."
Economists offered reasons not to read too much into them, though. Most of the increase in employed Americans came from those who had to settle for part-time work: 582,000 more people reported that they were working part-time last month but wanted full-time jobs.
That is the biggest increase in so-called underemployed Americans since February 2009, during the depths of the Great Recession.
Economic troubles in Europe and Asia also may be taking a toll on American factories. Manufacturing employment dropped by 16,000 in September after falling by 22,000 in August.
Factory hiring had been a source of economic strength the past two years: Factory jobs rose last year at the fastest pace since 1997.
But Europe's ongoing economic crisis, along with a slowdown in China, means demand for U.S.-made goods is drying up and "the days of robust manufacturing payrolls growth are likely behind us," said Chris Jones, an economist at TD Economics.
The unemployment rate has fallen from a peak of 10 percent in October 2009. But a big part of the drop over the past three years came because so many Americans stopped looking for work, so they weren't counted as unemployed.
Some were retiring baby boomers. Others were so discouraged by the weak job market that they stopped putting out resumes.
Economists were pleased with September's drop in unemployment because it happened for the right reasons: More Americans got jobs. And the work force grew by 418,000, the most since February, suggesting people are more optimistic about finding jobs. Because 873,000 more people did find work, the number of unemployed fell by 456,000. And that decline pushed the unemployment rate down.
Arthur Nazh was not surprised to hear that the unemployment rate fell. Business has improved this year at the kiosk where he sells souvenirs at a mall in Arlington, Va.
The economy "is getting better," said Nazh, 27, who employs six people and said he plans to vote for Obama because the economy needs more time to heal. "People are starting to buy more, spend more money."
Obama and Romney campaigned Friday in Nazh's home state and others that could tip to either candidate and determine the outcome of the election. Romney released three ads, mostly focused on jobs.
"These are tough times in this community," Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, told a rally outside a construction equipment store in Abingdon, Va. "We're going to bring back jobs and bring back America."
At a campaign stop in Cleveland, Obama declared: "We are moving forward again."
"Today's news should give us some encouragement," the president told thousands at Cleveland State University. "It shouldn't be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points."
The political back-and-forth over the unemployment numbers underscored the centrality of jobs to the election after a year in which the economy has been difficult to read.

From the Back Cover
—Dr. Joe Luciani, Bestselling Author of Self-Coaching: The Powerful Program to Beat Anxiety and Depression
"…the all important skill of learning how to think is still a lost art. This makes the work of Linda Elder and Richard Paul vital to the progress of our democratic society. Buy this book, change your life, and in the process make the world a safer and saner place to live."
—Dr. Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine; Author of Why People Believe Weird Things
"Critical thinking, the skill so ably taught in this book, is the solution to much of our emotional pain. Our minds are literally creating our lives. And often our minds sabotage us with faulty, distorted thinking. The result: bad choices and emotional disorders. If you want to change your life, it starts with changing how you think; this book will give you the tools."
—Dr. Matthew McKay, Author of Mind and Emotions
"One of the qualities that sets us apart from thinking creatures of other species is our ability—if we choose to use it—to 'think about our thinking.' In this substantial, clear, and easy-to-read book …readers are offered stimulating descriptions, definitions, principles, and suggestions for understanding and using thinking in effective ways to experience a better quality of life."
—Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis, Psychologist; Coauthor of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
"30 Days to Better Thinking and Better Living Through Critical Thinking is a manifesto for approaching life and relationships assertively, for thinking clearly and fairly, and for uncovering your own biases and vulnerabilities to the persuasive tactics of others—a hands-on approach to helping anyone who wants to see the world around them more fairly and clearly."
—Dr. Karen E. Dill, Author of How Fantasy Becomes Reality
"This small, easily readable book contains wisdom hard won during the two authors' dedicated and decades-long efforts to develop and communicate their conception of critical thinking, a conception that has rightly been very influential."
—Dr. Frank Fair, Sam Houston State University, Managing Editor of INQUIRY: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines
"There is much to gain from reading books written by Linda Elder and Richard Paul. This book carries on their tradition of elevating our thinking into the stratosphere while keeping our feet planted firmly on practical ground."
—Dr. Don Ambrose, Editor, The Roeper Review
"A comprehensive and effective blueprint for getting one's thoughts on straight through the application of a proven intellectual concept to the practicalities of daily living. A critical thinking classic."
—George Hanford, President Emeritus, The College Board
Critical thinking can transform your thinking and improve every part of your life! Now, in just 30 days, you can begin to master specific, easy-to-learn techniques that will help you cut through lies, gain insight, and make smarter choices in every area of your life—from work and money to your most intimate relationships.
World-renowned critical thinking experts Linda Elder and Richard Paul show you how to overcome poor thinking habits caused by self-deception or out-of-control emotions...clarify what you really want...recognize what you don't know...ask better questions...resist manipulation...and critically evaluate what you're told by advertisers, politicians, your colleagues, or even your family.
Each day, you'll focus on a specific critical thinking concept. You will learn practical strategies for bringing powerful ideas into the fabric of your life, into your daily routines. Day by day, you'll chart your progress—as you move deliberately toward sharper focus, deeper insight, and a more reasonable way of living.
Learn how to think clearly
Learn to think for yourself (using disciplined thought)
Don't let the media brainwash you—and don't let anyone else do it either
Overcome ignorance and hypocrisy
Stop being submissive or domineering toward others
Look underneath words to unspoken realities
Permeate your thinking with relevance, reason, integrity, fairness, and mercy
Recognize when questions are calling for facts, preferences, or judgments
Take control of your emotional life
Get past worrying, conformism, and blame
Keep improving your thinking—for the rest of your life!

Any new puppy owner quickly realizes that puppies love to chew! Toys, fingers, paws – if they can get it in their mouth, they will mouth it. As an extra treat for a new pup (or any pet with tender gums), pop this toy in the freezer for soothing relief. This Cool Teething Stick ($6.99) has a fabric shell that's crunchy when frozen... and mold-resistant when wet. To check out my favorites,
Around The Web
When I saw it in the store it was much smaller than I thought it would be. I think Kasey would just eat it.
we got this exact one for chibi when he was a pup and he ripped it up within a day!
I need to get a couple of these, asap. Halo is chewing everything (his toys and everything else)..plus he loves ice. So I bet he would love these things. Thanks PetSugar.
I got this for Jack when I first got him. He didn't like it much, so I soaked it in chicken broth for a few, popped it in the freezer for a while and then he couldn't get enough of it!!
I had one for Pippi and she ignored it, I don't think it really ever got cold.
I have a bunch of pet stages stuff from when Cuba was a baby. My favorite thing is the toy you can pop in the microwave to warm up for under their blankie. He still loves that thing. The teething thing he never got into.
i bought that teether but my puppy doesn't seem to like the them. he ignores it and actually opts chewing on paper towel cartons and empty water bottles. how cheap is that?? :rotfl:
My cats both love the Petstages products! They're great and they've gotten a lot of use in our house.

Had the pleasure of staying here on Sunday 24 November and i have to say the place is fantastic.Staff are very friendly the barman very chatty and nothing is to much for him if you fancy a cocktail and you don't see it on the list the guy will use his imagination and come up with something you will like.
We used an Itison voucher which i believe was nearly half the cost of the normal price for an overnight stay and i have to say this was a bargain the room was massive as was the bed the bathroom was spotless the shower refreshing and the view very nice.The menu that you can choose from is slightly limited but still there is a good choice and the quality presentation and service is fantastic and it is nice to be asked if your ready for your next course rather than just be given it.All in all a very satisfying relaxing stay.

+ This hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard. As it was a nice sunny evening we were able sit out in the lovely terrace garden area. We ate in the restaurant and the meal was excellent. This is a gem of a place close to Troon with well trained staff.

Good morning, my hubby & I had our first, and very enjoyable, meal at the Waterside on Saturday. We really loved the décor, in particular the canvases picking out highlights of the map from the wallpaper. Slightly odd request I know, but wondering if you would be able to tell us where you had those made? We're looking for something similar for our dining room. Since our visit, recommended the Waterside to a number of our Troon friends. We will definitely be back - the food & service were of a standard we have rarely experienced - especially on such a sunny & busy day.
Warmest wishes,

My 5 day stay at Irvine Gailes Hotel on April 2013 was extremely satisfying, we have stayed there the last 2 years on our visits to Scotland with equal satisfaction, our daughter, son in law and adult grandchildren have also stayed there in that period and on our return to Toronto we found my other daughter and grandaughter have booked in there also in early May 2013 and we also hope to return again in 2014, so we have joined the frequent user points scheme so that we can take advantage of the benefits that it provides for our future visits.

We got married here on 17/11/2013. What a day, the Gailes done us proud. Truly amazing venue. This really was a perfect day. The whole day went great, many thanks to Kimberley, what an excellent organised day you gave us, we are truly thankful for everything you did, your attention to detail was just outstanding, you were always there and on the ball.
Chef does a fabulous wedding meal, so much value for money and very very tasty.
It's hard to put into words how great this venue is, it's just perfect, there is nothing we wouldn't have changed, but just recommend it so much.
One thing, we didn't get too drunk on our big day just so we had time to use the spa room in our suite, wow it's amazing.
For weddings this is a venue you do not want to miss out on, they will make it a day to remember.
Many thanks to all that gave us a truly great day to remember xxx

Me and my wife finally got the chance to visit Si last weekend and where not disappointed. We both fancied tapas and left Si totally sated. The patatas bravas , prawns , lamb meatballs , Catalan fish stew and the bread board were all delicious !!!! Décor is very new and modern and works perfectly. The staff are so friendly & efficient adding to a nice relaxed atmosphere . Popped upstairs for a quick look before we left and it looks fabulous and very classy , we'll be back to try the Italian cuisine very soon.

Locker Room: Bucks vs Clippers - 12/15/12
Submitted by mstanton on December 15, 2012 - 10:20pm
Marquis Daniels and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute talk about Milwaukee's loss to the LA Clippers
Milwaukee's Block
How often do you notice when a shot is not blocked?
One season after ranking 15th overall, the Bucks lead the NBA in blocks per game. And Larry Sanders leads all players in blocks per game. You may have heard.
Something you may not have noticed? The Bucks are rarely blocked, themselves. In fact, only the Heat and Thunder have their own shots blocked less frequently.

The Government is reining in the cowboy companies that rip off motorists by outlawing clamping from 1 October. From then on, if a private parking operator wants to penalise you for breaking one of the rules of its car park, it'll have to hand you a ticket or send an invoice through the post.
You may not have to pay it, though. If you park without a permit in a council parking bay, you're parked illegally and can be penalised with a fine. But if you overstay in a private car park, you're in breach of contract.
Companies aren't allowed to fine you for this – and it's illegal for them to refer to their charges as a "fine" or "penalty". That's why they call their invoices Parking Charge Notices, which sound confusingly like the Penalty Charge Notices issued by councils.
If you make the mistake of ignoring a Penalty Charge Notice handed out by or on behalf of a council, the issuing statutory body can increase the level of fine, and eventually pass the debt to a bailiff. However, a private parking company has no power to enforce its charges.
A Department for Transport (DfT) spokeswoman told us: "Charges from a private parking company can only be enforced in court." That means the operator has to prove you were in breach of contract in front of a judge.
So if there's any flaw in the signage in the car park laying out the terms and conditions – if they were awkwardly placed, or faded, badly worded or ambiguous, for example – its case will be dismissed.
The company also has to justify the damages it's pursuing you for. The DfT spokeswoman added: "Private parking companies' charges must be 'reasonable' and 'proportionate' to the breach of contract. If a charge is brought to court, the court will decide whether the fee is reasonable."
A council can slap you with a £120 penalty for overstaying your ticket by a couple of minutes with no questions asked, but a private operator can't do this. If it wants you to pay £120, it has to prove that your actions left it out of pocket by that amount – and if you've overstayed in a £5-per-hour car park by 20 minutes, it's highly unlikely a company will be able to argue that it's out of pocket by £120.
Obviously, if the operator has ensured signs in its car park are clear, you were in breach of the rules and the charge it's pursuing you for is reasonable, it's only fair to pay it. But if not, you shouldn't be afraid to ignore the company's demands for your cash.
There's no legal obligation for you to respond to the operator and your credit rating won't be affected if you refuse to pay. And it's unlikely the company will actually take you to court.
Around two million private parking tickets are issued each year. But a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Justice revealed that in 2011 there were only 845 cases where members of the private parking industry body, the British Parking Association, took people to court.
Of those, just 49 went to a final hearing before a judge and in only 24 cases – less than half – did the decision go in favour of the company.

Coal Power Plants to Increase Capacity, GBI Says
The consumption of coal in North America is expected to grow to 940.4 million metric tons (MMt) over the next eight years, as a result of increased demand from several planned U.S. power plants due for completion by 2015, with a combined capacity addition of 11.5 GW, according to a report from GBI Research.
The report, Coal Mining Market in North America to 2020 – Carbon Emissions and Skilled Labor Shortages Likely to Limit Production, finds that coal consumption in the region is expected to remain strong, despite government regulation seeking to curb coal's use. Last week the EPA released its first proposed Clean Air Act standard for carbon pollution from new power plants.
North America (excluding Mexico) produced about 1,027 MMt during 2011, accounting for around 14.1 percent of total global coal production. During the same year, power generation accounted for 910.3 MMt, or 93 percent of total coal consumption in North America, GBI Research said.
GBI said that conflicting public opinion, influenced by the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan and opposition to greenhouse gas emissions, are additional factors that will influence the fate of the coal mining industry in North America.
According to the EIA, in the U.S. coal production amounted to 1,089.2 million short tons (988.1 MMt) in 2011. These production totals will fall in 2012, to 1,041.3 million short tons (944.7 MMt) before showing an upward trend in 2013, with 1,044.0 million short tons (947.1 MMt) forecasted, the EIA said.
Coal consumption by the U.S. electric power sector in 2012 is expected to fall below 900 million short tons for the first time since 1996, as the electric industry increases its use of natural gas for power generation. The power sector consumes about 92 percent of U.S. coal production, EIA said.
EIA expects electricity generation from coal to decline by nearly 5 percent in 2012 as generation from natural gas increases by about 9 percent. EIA forecasts that electricity generation from coal will increase by 3.8 percent in 2013, as projected coal prices to the power sector fall slightly while natural gas prices increase, and coal regains some of its power sector generation share.
