BlackBerry Z30 Review
0. phoneArena 10 Oct 2013, 07:02 posted on
With the largest screen of any BlackBerry phone so far, large battery, and good processor running the latest BB 10.2 OS, the Z30 is the Canadians' undisputed flagship, taking the torch from the 4.2" Z10. It also features a premium build with metallic accents, plus the awesome BlackBerry keyboard, but will those be enough to entice the ever-shrinking suit and tie target market of the company? Read on to find out...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

"Well, that leads us to the hardest gesture to master – the one that gets you into the BlackBerry Hub, which.... ....Essentially, it's a swipe up from the bottom bezel, then while your finger is still touching the screen, you swipe right to uncover the BlackBerry Hub." - how hard do you think is it? I mastered my alphabet before going to school and I think the 26 letters in the alphabet have so much more stroke than the one going to the hub.

Yeah guys 7.5 is really low
9 would be justified
25. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
I don't know what's wrong with galaxyarena
26. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
The app count doesn't.make sense
Don't you know it can download android apps
29. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
This is an amazing device
The "howdowerate" is junk 7.5 for this beast
It must get at least get 9 and the z10 must get 8.5
Both are fantabulously awesoming
19. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
This is very good looking and well built device. I don't know whats wrong with iPhonearena.
Just a little advise BB, let other hardware manufacturers us your BB10 platform.

And who told PA that wp8 is better than bb os
Wp8 looks well in laptops but not in smartphones
This is my fifth continuous comment...lol
2. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
2 cons at 7.5. Wtf is up with PA reviews this past month seriously?
7. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
The second con is a huge one. Blackberry's low app count is a major reason it's not a compelling platform.
Granted, low app count hasn't affected their reviews before (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PALM PRE REVIEW)...
30. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
Commentator, this is not football
This device is amazing

Hmm this review seems off. I don't like bb at all but come on

Great phone ...now using it with Z1...no cpmplains
6. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
cmon PA
BBs are great phone.
It should be atleast 8.
8. Planterz (Posts: 2080; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
The good battery life is amplified by the fact that, unlike Androids and iPhones, there's so little you can do on a BB that it'll stay in your pocket most of the time.
9. GadgetsMcGoo (Posts: 168; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
You don't get any instant messages or emails? Even from work? You should get some friends and maybe a job or something.
12. Planterz (Posts: 2080; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
In your pathetic attempt to belittle me, my joke went way over your soft little head.
My joke (which apparently you need to be explained to you) is that if you were worried about your battery not lasting long enough throughout the day, because you were constantly using it to play Angry Birds or Words With Friends, or chatting with Snapchat, or sharing pictures with Instagram, or watching videos on Netflix, well...
You don't have to worry about that because you can't do any of that on a BB. Email and messaging don't take much battery juice, so your battery will last a good long time, because your BB won't be much use for anything else (not anything fun, anyway).
22. GadgetsMcGoo (Posts: 168; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
No. Your passive aggressive snide "joke" was not missed.
32. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
WOW! you are a complete dummy lol
I have a Blackberry Z10 and it can do all those things.. I don't need Netflix cuz I get much better movies and load it to my phone and watch it from there.. Are u serious? A BB can do all those things and more.. With this multi tasking beast u will find me doing a few things at a time with such ease.. No phone can match up to this lol
11. E.S.1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
The score should be closer to 8.5.
Blackberry is for business. Lot of people don't need apps, music, videos, movies or games, nor should they pay for that trivia on business phones.
13. phonebuddy (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
exactly! you are buying this phone because of the built in features that it posses and not the apps that you can install later
14. Planterz (Posts: 2080; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
That logic makes no sense. The Z30 costs as much as flagship Androids or iPhones, yet is severely limited by its woeful app selection. Same data plan charges as well.
Would you pay complete-package prices for cable/satellite TV for ony the basic channels? Would you pay the price for a 42 function Swiss Army Knife for one that only has 12 functions? $500 on a blender with only one speed when you can get a Blendtec?
You talk about built-in features? Android and iOS have the "built-in" feature of hundreds of thosands of apps and games, whereas BB has a scant fraction of that, and is missing most of the popular ones.
What can you do on a BB that you can't do on an iPhone or Android? Oh yeah...BBM. But that's coming soon anyway.
33. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Wrong! I use my phone for entertainment all the time.. who are u kidding? BB has it all now.. and makes it so much easier with the fantastic keyboard and multi tasking that beats them all.. On top of that we got a play button.. and can easily change tracks without opening the screen.. why is it that no phone has these options? so sad.. and don't tell me S4 has better options cuz I've seen them and it's a joke haha
34. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
no you're a joke.. you've "seen" the s4.. but not used it.. so shut up.. don't embarrased yourself..
15. jellmoo (Posts: 1595; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Isn't it at least worth a mention that you can side load a fair amount of Android apps in order to help with the overall low app number issue?
16. isprobi (Posts: 656; Member since: 30 May 2011)
Use a PlayOn client and server if you want more media like Netflix. The volume buttons work as a camera shutter key. I consistently get better signal reception on my Z10 than my friends with Android and iPhone and stay on LTE. And the Z30 adds ParaTek technology for even better reception but that was not even mentioned. Gestures are not hard just different than poking buttons. I hope there is a landscape dock for this like I have for my Z10.
17. toystore (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
it has 1.7 GHz dual core not 1.5 GHz, PA don't even know the spec and try to reivew phone. LOL
18. toystore (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
PA 2013 standard point system,
Android flaghip device 9 to 10
Mid tire Android 8 to 9
iPhone 9 to 9.5
Windows Phone 8 to 9
blackberry 7 to 7.5
rest 7 and below
They rated Moto X 8.5 which has same spec as Z30 lower build quality and Android 4.3 which is not even close to BB 10.2
20. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Moto X clearly is overall a better phone... I still think the Z30 should have received at least a 8.5 considering you can side load apps from Android.
21. jellmoo (Posts: 1595; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
I wouldn't say "clearly". I think that there is enough give and take between the two devices that it mostly comes down to personal preference and what you need from your handset.
23. Jaguarandine (Posts: 1; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
I want to preface my comment by saying Phone Arena is one of my favorite sites for mobile phone reviews. They're generally more in-depth and less biased, and I love the sizing comparisons and detailed pictures. Good job!
On the review, I think 3 things were glossed over/not mentioned that really make the Z30 stand out.
1) Battery Life - While it might not be surprising given the hardware, the battery life here is really outstanding. Better than almost every flagship released this year outside certain phablets. This is a big strength of the Z30 over other phones and is worth mentioning in more detail.
2) AMOLED Screen - While it may be enough to say that it's better than say, the Z10's, I think it's worth noting the tech involved. The Z30 screen uses an S-Stripe matrix (just like the Moto X), which means that it ditches the Pentile display prevalent in so many AMOLED screens. It's a definite improvement over AMOLEDs found in the Galaxy S3, Q10, and Lumia 925.
3) The App Situation - I agree with everything mentioned about App World's quality and quantity of apps. On this front, iOS, Android, and even WP are better. However, there should be a very big asterisk beside any review of the Z30's (or any BB device running 10.2 for that matter) apps, and this asterisk should elaborate on the ability to sideload Android apps. Never mind the low-quality Android ports in BlackBerry App World; those are unfortunately cash-grab attempts by lazy developers. On 10.2, the Z30 has the ability to load nearly ANY Android app perfectly 95% of the time. Need Instagram? You got it. Netflix? It's there. Temple Run, Google Maps, Spotify, it all works remarkably well. So well in fact, I'm surprised every reviewer isn't shouting it from the rooftops! This is a game-changing feature that no other platform can do. Even if BlackBerry were to die tomorrow, you could feel content and assurance for the near-future because every Android 4.2 app will work on your phone. Definitely worth mentioning.
Thanks for reading!

Blackberry os 10.2 is way better than windows phone
28. winter_hat (Posts: 110; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
I recently swapped the SIM card out of my BlackBerry Q10 and used my Galaxy Nexus at a concert because I have a Otter Box for it and I like the camera. I will tell you without reservation, BB10 OS and the Hub are significantly better than Android. The Hub really just destroys anything in existence. And pushing power buttons and home buttons and back arrows? It's just maddening how inefficient and archaic that seems once you've used BB10. I hope BB survives or I hope someone copies the Hub and gesture based OS. I see a lot of Android apps now with swiping left and right....so they seem to be noticing and stealing...
Anyway, this phone looks amazing and I already know the OS is the best available.
35. tttony (Posts: 29; Member since: 22 Jul 2012)
The problem is not the phone, it's the software
BB10 OS lack of main software, that's cuz devs has lost interest in making apps for BB10
So BB10 OS Sucks!!
36. Nharzhool (Posts: 1; Member since: 14 Oct 2013)
There seems to be some general bias against BB phones lately. It is probably because of what is happening with the company and the "journalists" don't seem to be able to remain objective about the phone alone.
I didn't see any mention of the speakers which, when put up against its only rival, the HTC One, the Z30 is much better.
Also, didn't they put in some fancy, proprietary antenna that uses some sort of Eldritch magic to get you better reception and save battery life?
There was no mention of USB OTG, Miracast, Toast Notifications, Lock-Screen previews, QI Wireless charging on the US model, standardised bluetooth HID compatibility...seems very peculiar. And yes, I've done a lot of research on this device. :-P
Also, wanted to thank the users from the other platforms for not just going "gah...BB dead now lol n00b f@g...BB sux!!!" - Well MOST of you. It seems that a lot of the people on here were able to actually look at this device as a device by itself.
How does it take the Z30 4 seconds to take a photo and the Z10 only 2.5? THEY HAVE THE SAME OS! Something really isn't right with this review...
He seemed to dislike the gestures purely because they are different from other phones and not what he is used to...that is rather stupid.
39. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I have no idea why BB10 is not getting the kind of love that WebOS got back in the day. The gesture based OS is amazing- fun, functional, and shows true vision of what an OS can be. BlackBerry has been beaten, made fun of, and critizied endlessly in the past 2 years. Mostly rightly so. But ANYONE who has actually tried this OS would fall in love with it. And where WebOS was handcuffed by really horrid hardware- and I owned a Palm Pre Plus, so trust me, I know- BB has done some amazing hardware.
Forget app count- there is only one reason not to buy a Z30. The future of BlackBerry as a company needs to be sorted out. I would buy a Z30 in a minute if I thought there was going to be 2+ years of aggresive support from BB and their new owner. But without knowing what the roadmap of a new company is or even what they would look like, it is hard to jump on these BB10 devices.
40. TonyStark (Posts: 9; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
Seems like iPhoneArena only reviews phones based on looks and benchmarks, other than that, it needs to have a bitten apple on its back to deserve at least a 9.
The Z30 is a great device. This website only serves a purpose--To hurt stuggling companies even more.
If there's a Z30, then surely a Q30 will be released. Can't wait for it, not really a fan of full-touch smartphones.
41. suneelgaddam (Posts: 1; Member since: 12 Nov 2013)
Seriously 7.5 is very less score based on the credibility of this phone,you didnt even mention the paratek technology and natural sound.
with coming next update to it's os 10.2.1 u can run any apk file directly from the phone and install it.Based on the benchmark scores,you can tell z30 performed best of all.
And Finally BB 10 is the best and great multitasking OS available in the market.
42. freddysrevng (Posts: 1; Member since: 11 Dec 2013)
Here's a Review from "Someone Who Has Owned the Z30 for a Month"
- iTunes and Outlook "Sync Friendly" .... rare combination these days...
- 2 Days + on a battery charge.... Equals 4-5X the battery life of iPhone 5S and most Android Phones
- 6 external speaker "Natural Sound" is Superior to HTC "Beats Technology" for Music, Hands Free Calls, Gaming, Video Calls
- BlackBerry Messenger Video Chat is Superior to Skype in "ease of use" and "quality of audio and video"....
- Browsing experience is "as good as" if not "better than" anything else on the market...
- Top Android apps are "loadable" and will be "even easier" when 10.2.1 comes out in the next couple of months...
I had a Samsung Galaxy 3 for about a year, then a BlackBerry Z10 and wanted a "new phone"... I found the "following": the iPhone 5S just had too small of a screen and I have a family member with iOS 7 on an iPod and I don't care for the software...........Samsung Galaxy S4 (too much like the Galaxy S3 that I had and based on a 74% "recommend to a friend" rating on Verizon - did not make any sense to do that, again)........ Nokia Phones - no interest in the plastic, the colors or the software..... LG G2 - nice screen, played the external speaker and could not believe how "tinny" it sounded - I thought that was a good indication of a lackluster "build quality"...
Bought the Z30 for the reasons mentioned above.... Have had it for a month and it is not only the "Best BlackBerry Ever", I believe that it is the "Best New Smartphone on the Market"...
Don't believe me... go look at the Verizon website where the Z30 has a "better rating" than the iPhone 5S and a "much better rating" than the Galaxy S3 and S4.... go to CNET... Amazon and you "keep seeing the same results" from OWNERS of the Z30 .. not the "biased reviewers".
People who had older BlackBerrys are really doing themselves a disservice by not taking a look at BlackBerry, again. The Z10, Q10 and Z30 are some of the finest and best rated phones on the market.... there is not a single line of code in BB10 software that is the same as what you had in your "old BlackBerry"... Totally New Experience that many are Enjoying...
Berry Christmas...

Obama's Antitrust Policy Turns DOJ and FTC Into Regulators
Editor's note: Huntsman Professor William F. Shughart II, J. Fish Smith Professor
Public Choice, and Diana Thomas, assistant professor of economics, wrote a paper analyzing antitrust enforcement in the Obama Administration's first term that has been published by the Cato Institute, a public policy research organization. Here is a press release the Institute issued about the research.
Cato Institute Press Release
William F. Shughart II, research director and senior fellow at The Independent Institute, and Diana Thomas, assistant professor of economics at Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, Utah State University, write in a new policy analysis:
Cato's new policy analysis,Antitrust Enforcement in the Obama Administration's First Term: A Regulatory Approach investigates how and in what ways antitrust enforcement has changed since President Obama took office in 2009. Shughart and Thomas review four recent antitrust casesthe behavioral remedies that were imposed on the defendants in those matters in detail. The authors find that the Obama administration has been significantly more active in enforcing the antitrust laws with respect to proposed mergers than his two predecessors in the White House had been.
The paper also shows how the Federal Trade Commission, together with the Department of Justice, withdrew a thoughtful report on the enforcement of Section 2 of the Sherman Act and issued new merger guidelines and a new merger policy remedy guide, all of which have moved antitrust law enforcement away from traditional structural remedies in favor of very intrusive behavioral remedies in an unprecedented fashion. This policy shift has transformed antitrust law enforcers into regulatory agencies, a mission for which they are not well-suited, resulting in the DOJ and FTC being more vulnerable to rent seeking.

Hi Peter !
I know this question may be off this topic, but I wish you could help me.
I am trying to learn the slam jibe.
I 've read about this move, and saw your tutorials ( lets go wave sailing and serious abour waves vol 1 ) but there seem to be two diff approaches. One is to sheet in in the beginning of the move, and the other is to slightly sheet out ... That would be my first question, wich one is the right one ?
Second, when I initiate the jibe, I try to loose some speed by heading upwind and sheet out a little bit, then I place my back foot behind the back strap and on the inside rail, and through my body backwards and to the inside of the turn ... but the rail, in stead of sinking smoothly, makes the board to jump/bounce and that prevents me from doing the carve I am suppouse to.
Thanks in advance !

Preparing for a New Era of Brightness: New Magnet Installed at ALS
On October 23, ALS Division Director Falcone and Jin Jiang, from the Shanghai Institute of Physics (SINAP), celebrated the installation of the first of 48 new combined-function sextupole magnets into Sector 1 of the ALS storage ring. The new magnets will reduce the horizontal emittance of the electron beam, resulting in up to a three-fold increase in brightness delivered to ALS users. The project--designed to keep the ALS as one of the brightest sources of soft x-rays in the world--is slated for completion early next year.
More than 6000 people came up the hill to see what is happening at Berkeley Lab during Open House on Saturday, October 13, and more than 1500 of them came even further up the hill to visit the ALS for tours, talks, and hands-on activities, all of which helped them understand how we use electrons, magnets, microscopes, and computers to conduct research at the ALS. At the X-Ray Café, ALS staff and scientists spoke one-on-one with guests about how the ALS works, why and how scientists want to use it, how it is funded, and plans for the future. Inside the ring, visitors heard science stories from beamline scientists and had souvenir family photos taken. ALS management wishes to thank the many volunteers who helped to make the ALS Open House a huge success and is hosting a volunteer appreciation lunch this Friday, Nov. 2, at noon in Room 15-253. You can see more photos on the ALS flickr site.
ALS Stars in New Video from California Academy of Sciences
In August, videographers from the California Academy of Sciences came to the ALS to film scientists talking about their work and about how the ALS provides exciting opportunities for research in everything from bone strength to faster computer chips. The video, posted on the Science Today: Beyond the Headlines Web site and showing on screens through out the Academy, is part of the Academy's Science in Action effort "to make science accessible for everyone and discuss its relevance in our everyday lives." See our ALS scientists at their best describing the goals and impacts of their research.
The California Academy of Sciences, located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, "is a multifaceted scientific institution committed to leading-edge research, to educational outreach, and to finding new and innovative ways to engage and inspire the public."
For the user runs from September 17 to October 21, 2012, the beam reliability [(time scheduled - time lost)/time scheduled)] was 97.6%. For this period, the mean time between failures (MTBF) was 42.0 hours, and the mean time to recovery (MTTR) was 70 minutes. There were no significant interruptions.
More detailed information on reliability is available on the ALS reliability bulletin board, which is located in the hallway between the ALS and the control room in Building 80. Questions about beam reliability should be directed to Dave Richardson (

Additional Information
Rolled, boned and tied in netting, the lean shoulder of wild boar makes a splendid roast. It's a sizable cut that will serve a dinner party nicely. Think landed-gentry style splendor.
Many traditional Italian stew recipes require that the shoulder be chopped into small pieces and slowly braised.
However you decide to prepare this boar, the reddish, more-intense-than-pork meat offers a distinctive taste that is imminently adaptable.
Wild boar meat is robust enough to stand up to full-bodied red wines or strong ale. Especially when sipped from a tankard or chalice.
Feel free to hog wild.
Just the facts
- Truly wild boar
- Natural diet of grass, roots, nuts, fruits, acorns and grains
- Humanely-trapped
- No hormones, no antibiotics
- USDA inspected
- Sold in an uncooked state
- Product of USA
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
D'Artagnan partners with experienced trappers in Texas to provide the best wild boar on the hoof. Our wild boar is actually wild, and is humanely cage trapped in Texas, and then brought to USDA-inspected plants where it is processed in the same way as farm-raised hogs.
The omnivorous wild boar has a voracious appetite and will eat everything from greens, native roots and acorns to agricultural crops. As you might imagine, they are considered a nuisance by farmers and ranchers.
Because of the growing numbers of wild boar, the law permits year-round hunting of these feral hogs. By using large cages that do not harm the boar, our trapping process allows this game meat to be marketed under the USDA law, which forbids hunted game to be sold.
This means that we can enjoy the primal taste of wild boar without having to do any of the hard work. It just doesn't get any wilder than this.

Halloween Stigma
October 27, 2006
A front-page story in the The Chicago Tribune has brought national attention to grassoots protests of Halloween stigma, led by NAMI sttate and local organizations in Illinois, Ohio, and Tennessee. Media coverage of stigma controversies elsewhere resulted. A NAMI StigmaBuster Alert sparked the national focus, which comes at a time when the U.S. Ad Council and the federal government are preparing to launch the National Anti-Stigma Campaign on November 29, 2006. The protests have resulted in public education about stigma and mental illness, changes in the themes of some attractions, or promises by sponsors to think twice next year.

MEXICO - It's that time of year once again. At the beginning of August, people think: One more month until the kids are back in school, "dog days" of summer and Island Grove Camp Meetings in Mexico.
This marks the 116th year for the meetings, only missing one full session of camp due to the Hurricane Agnes Flood of 1972.
Back when many of the current campers were growing up, Rev. William Culbertson, former president of Moody Bible Institute and a cottage holder, was our main speaker. This year, our featured evangelist is his granddaughter, Rev. Lydia Huttar Brown.

Island Grove campground, a family church camp in Mexico, Juniata County, celebrates its 116th anniversary this year.
Brown is the pastor of St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Sunfish Lake, Minn., a suburb of St. Paul. She served for over 13 years as a children's and family minister in Episcopal and Presbyterian churches before being ordained in 2001. She is passionate about helping everyone of all ages grow in their faith through study, prayer and participation in worship.
Brown grew up attending Island Grove Campground every summer, following a family tradition going back to 1912. She says that her faith was shaped by the singing and nightly messages. She especially remembers the preaching of her grandfather, Culbertson.
Camp will open at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 3 with a communion service led by Rev. Marsha Bookhamer of the Mexico and Ebenezer United Methodist churches.
Aug. 4 is Mission Night and this year's speaker will be Patrick Traxler of Trinity United Methodist Church in Lewistown. Traxler is a 2012 graduate of Mifflin County High School and will be attending West Virginia Wesleyan College before continuing his education for his Masters in Divinity to become an Ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church. Last January, Traxler went on his first mission trip to Rhajastan, India, working in medical check-up camps. He will be sharing his experiences with us.
Brown will speak nightly on grace, love and miracles beginning at 7:30 p.m. from August 5 to 10. Eddie Piper, local Christian singer, will be the worship and song leader Sunday through Thursday with others filling in as needed. After services each night, refreshments will be served for a minimal fee at the Boarding House.
Special events during camp start Sunday afternoon with an ice cream social and Children's Fun Faire that is open and free to the public. Other events (hayride, hot dog roast, movie night) will be announced nightly at the services.
During the week, the following are offered to those on the grounds and off the grounds at 10 a.m. Bible study is held in the Boarding House, led by Dr. Charles Huttar. Children's Service is in the Tabernacle, led by Becca and Nate Rupley. Teen Time will be in the Norman Cottage, led by Beth Norman.
Island Grove is made up of 20 privately owned cottages with the Tabernacle at one of the grounds and the "Mexico Hilton" Boarding House at the other end. Our focus is on God and what He means to each and every person. Through the services, we grow in our walk with the Lord.
Along with many other campers, I have grown up attending camp all of my life. Now I have family members who also have their own cottages at Island Grove. My memories are so strong in what I've learned from my departed parents, grandparents and their acquaintances. My hope is that my children and grandchildren can look back and know that their faith was strengthened while attending this unique family church camp.
Church camps have come and gone, and Island Grove has gone through many changes. We're celebrating our 166th year because God is, and always shall be, the cornerstone of Island Grove Campground.
Any Christian church is invited to become a member of the campground by paying an initial fee of $25 and a $10 annual fee.
Camp sites are available for tents and campers. Sites with electric hookups are $10 per night, or without for $5. A special rate of $75 for electric hookups for eight to 10 nights is available.
To make a reservation or for more information, call or write to Paul Culbertson, superintendent of the grounds, at (570) 374-0951 or PO Box 202, 413 N. Eighth St., Selinsgrove, PA 17870.

CHESTER - East Liverpool's Joey Holt didn't look like a boxing rookie.
Holt made his professional boxing debut on Saturday during a fight card full of local talent at Mountaineer Racetrack Casino & Resort.
Holt scored a first round knockout in what was the first of six pro bouts at The Harv.

The lineup, which also featured one amateur bout, was heavy with area fighters including Steubenville's Angelo Magnone, Youngstown's Jake Giuriceo and six boxers from Pittsburgh highlighted by Paul Spadafora and Monty Meza-Clay.
All of the locals prevailed except for Giuriceo in an event put on by Roy Jones Jr. in association with TNT Promotions.
Holt, a 2004 East Liverpool graduate, was matched up against Alan Moore, a 20-fight veteran from Indianapolis.
Fact Box
NOTES: Included in the packed house of fans on Saturday was Youngstown boxer Kelly Pavlik, who will be fighting for the super middleweight world title on Jan. 26 in Los Angeles against Andre Ward. Also in attendance was Pittsburgh Steelers' great L.C. Greenwood.
While this was Holt's first foray into pro boxing, he is no stranger to fighting. An experienced cage fighter, Holt compiled an 8-3 amateur MMA record before turning pro where he has won his first three matches.
"The transition was easy," Holt said of the switch from MMA to boxing. "Working with Tom Yankello, he was able to help me with my boxing tools. The mindset is a little different, but you're still ready for war. You just don't have to worry about takedowns or anything."
The ease of transition showed as Holt dominated the action in the 154-pound fight from the opening bell.
Moore hit the canvas for the first time just 10 seconds into the bout. A hard right hand from Holt sent Moore down again thirty seconds later.
Then after two more knockdowns, the referee mercifully called a halt to the action at 2:05 of the first round sending Holt out in style in his debut.
Holt, who has an MMA fight scheduled for Jan. 19 in Cleveland, said after the fight that he plans to pursue both sports in the future.
"That's the plan," he said. "Keep it moving and make history. I want to do both. I'd like to be able to line up two or three boxing matches then two or three cage fights and just see where it takes me."
Holt said the win was made more special due to Mountaineer's proximity to his hometown.
"It felt so good to fight close to home," he said. "In East Liverpool right now, there's not a whole lot of people making good. I wanted to get this one for them. I love East Liverpool."
Prior to Holt's victory, the night began with the lone amateur bout on the card. Magnone, a former Big Red football standout, improved his record to 5-0 with a decision win against Mike Shook, of Pittsburgh.
Shook, who stands 6-foot-7 and has fought 36 times as an amateur, couldn't handle the power and pressure from the 6-2, 230-pound Magnone who lettered four years at Bowling Green after his standout prep career at Steubenville.
"The guy came out and fought hard," Magnone said of his opponent. "He was really experienced so it was a good fight for me."
Magnone, who trains at Board's Boxing in Knoxville Twp., said he wasn't sure where his boxing career would go from here. For now, though, he's staying busy with another fight scheduled for this Saturday in Youngstown.
"I'm just having fun right now," he said. "We'll see what happens."
In the evening's main event, Spadafora, who is known as "The Pittsburgh Kid," kept his record perfect (47-0-1, 19 KO) with a unanimous decision victory over Solomon Egberime (22-4-1, 11 KO) in a 10-round junior welterweight (140) fight.
Spadafora won by scores of 100-90, 98-91 and 97-94. The Review had the bout scored 98-92 in favor of Spadafora.
"He was a tough guy, real crafty," Spadafora said after the fight. "It was a real good test. All my life, I've had trouble with guys like that, but I was able to make adjustments."
At 37, Spadafora said he is looking for another shot at a world title in his comeback and was willing to fight any of the top guys in the division.
"Whoever it is, Paulie Malignaggi, (Danny) Garcia, any of them," he said.
In a highly anticipated rematch, Meza-Clay once again defeated Emmanuel Lucero in an 8-round super featherweight (130) fight. Meza-Clay won his sixth straight bout improving to 34-3 by unanimous decision. Two judges had the fight scored 77-75, while the other had it 80-72. The Review had the bout scored 77-74 in favor of Meza-Clay.
"Styles make fights," Meza-Clay said. "He kept coming and he's tough as nails."
The lone loss for local combatants came when Giuriceo was outpointed by Peter Oluoch, of Kenya.
As the bell sounded to end the fifth round of the junior welterweight fight, the two fighters clashed heads resulting in a severe cut on the head of Giuriceo.
After going to his corner, the fight was eventually stopped due to the cut sending the decision to the scorecards.
Two judges had the bout scored for Oluoch (49-46 and 48-47), while the other had Giuriceo up, 48-47. The Review had Oluoch leading, 48-47.
"In the corner, I was asking them to give me one more round," Giuriceo said. "But, it didn't bother me that they stopped it because I felt like I was ahead. I was comfortable going to the cards.
"Apparently, the judges saw it differently. I was definitely disappointed."
The loss is the second straight for Giuriceo who started his pro career at 16-0-1.
"Honestly, I thought I was winning the fight," he said. "I feel like I'm my best critic when I'm not performing, but I thought I was winning rounds."
Despite back to back losses, Giuriceo said he will push on.
"Naturally, it will slow me down a little," he said. "It will probably be harder for me to get the fights we want, but it doesn't discourage me. I wasn't seriously hurt or injured in either of my last two fights."
In other action, Pittsburgh's Billy Hutchinson improved to 5-1-2 with a second round knockout of Jose Caraballo (5-5) in a junior middleweight bout.
Another Pittsburgh fighter, Morgan Fitch, remained unbeaten at 8-0 with a first round knockout against Cameron Allen (4-12-2) in a super middleweight fight.

Tracy real estate agent Susan Goulding, with Crown Key Realty, said there's a fine balance between building too many homes and having no jobs -- and not having enough homes to meet the demand for those who want to live and work in Tracy.
Goulding said Tracy is now in the latter position.
Goulding said in the past 15 days, 28 homes were listed for sale, and 49 have sold.
The average time for a home to be sold is 21 days.
Goulding said there is a lot of demand, from first-time home buyers to investors.
But she believes the demand will be even greater once companies such as Amazon open this fall in Tracy.
The low inventory started with the passing of a slow growth measure in the early 2000s that put a maximum cap of 750 homes to be built each year.
As a result, the city of Tracy said in the past few years, only 40 homes were built each year.
City leaders said the economy is now bouncing back.
City officials said more companies are looking to set up shop in town -- and to help meet the demands of people looking to buy, the city council has already approved two multimillion-dollar projects that, in time, would provide an additional 7,750 homes.
Andrew Malik, Tracy's director of Development Services, said the city is prepared for the growth in population, and added that this is an exciting time.
Tracy is poised to be one of the fastest-growing cities in the Central Valley, Malik said.

Finnish museum director Janne Gallen-Kallela-Sirén has been selected as the new director of Albright-Knox Art Gallery, it was announced Monday.
Sirén, 42, will end his five-year tenure as director of the Helsinki Art Museum in Finland's political and cultural capital to take charge of the 150-year-old institution on Elmwood Avenue in the spring or early summer. He will succeed former gallery director Louis Grachos, who left the Albright-Knox this month for a new job in Austin, Texas, after leading the museum through 10 years of growth. Sirén was elected unanimously by the Albright-Knox board of directors Sunday night, according to the gallery.
Leslie Zemsky, president of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the governing body of the Albright-Knox, said that the search for a new director drew "an outstanding pool of candidates." But Sirén, who was educated in the United States and has held positions in universities and museums throughout Europe, quickly rose to the top of the list.
"He's got the academic credentials," Zemsky said when asked what made Sirén stand out from other candidates, whom the gallery declined to name. "But I think it's that energy and leadership, and that ability to connect into the community and really understanding the role a museum plays in a community, in a place like Buffalo."
Sirén, who spoke to The Buffalo News by telephone from New York City before flying to Buffalo over the weekend, said he was drawn to the opportunity not only because of the Albright-Knox's envied collection of modern and contemporary art, but because of the cultural momentum that has been building in Buffalo for some time.
"From the moment I set foot in Buffalo, it was sort of love at first sight," Sirén said. "I just felt that in Buffalo there's this very positive aura about the next chapter in the city's future, not only at the Albright-Knox, but more generally in Buffalo. Things are sort of happening, and you see in little bits and pieces around there, it's sort of in the air. And that's tremendously exciting."
Sirén, the museum's 11th professional director and the first director of a major American museum from the Nordic region, said he deliberated only briefly about the opportunity, taking a week or so to discuss the potential move to a new continent with his young family, which includes his wife, Sonja; a son, 5; and two daughters, 3 and 8. They will join Sirén when he begins his tenure. In the end, he said, the offer was too good to turn down.
"These opportunities are so rare, and institutions as brilliant and as fantastic as the Albright-Knox, which has been able to reinvent itself time and again over the past 150 years, they are so rare," he said. "In terms of the Albright-Knox, I didn't have to think long."
It also didn't hurt, Sirén said, that his children's main concern, having grown up in the chilly Nordic climate of Helsinki, was whether Buffalo had any snow.
In his native Helsinki, Sirén served a dual role as director of the museum and as a key architect of the City of Helsinki's cultural policy and its public art program, an experience he said he hopes to apply in Buffalo. An Albright-Knox release described him as "a passionate advocate for the active role of the museum, and the arts, in a vibrant civic life and the growth of a community."
"One could even say that in addition to the role of museum director, I'm sort of a fine arts commissioner, even though that's not a formal title. But in effect, that's what my role has been," Sirén said. "I've interfaced with so many different forums and professions, from engineers to city planners to people who work in the cultural tourism industry, to hotel managers, just a diversity of different pools of information, which then get connected at the art museum. And in a sense, we are the bridge to the global scene."
Sirén's track record in Helsinki lines up closely with the increasingly international direction in which the Albright-Knox has been headed since Grachos came to town in 2003. Along with the ambitious internationally focused programming at the museum, Sirén said his proudest accomplishments in Helsinki include his stewardship of the city's growing public art program and its successful development of a cultural tourism industry, as well as his use of the museum as an educational tool to foster visual literacy across Finland.
He was also the primary author of a controversial plan to build an international outpost of the New York City-based Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki. The plan was narrowly rejected last May by the city's council over concerns that the project was not fair to Finnish artists and existing institutions.
Zemsky said that board members did not view the city's rejection of the Guggenheim proposal – which was already in its advanced stages when it was voted down – as a failure on Sirén's part. On the contrary, she said, she was impressed with the work he poured into the project, the museum savvy he exhibited in the process and the major fundraising he was able to accomplish: "He's very comfortable asking for money, basically," she said.
On paper, Sirén seems the model of a savvy international museum director, with experience spanning several continents and subject areas. According to a release from the gallery, Sirén speaks five languages and has lived and worked in seven countries, including Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Austria and Israel, where he taught for four years as a visiting art professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Before his appointment to the Helsinki Museum's directorship, Sirén directed the Tampere Art Museum, in southern Finland, from 2004 to 2007. No stranger to the United States – his Finnish colleagues consider him a quasi-American, he said – Sirén earned his master's and Ph.D. in art history from New York University and his undergraduate degree from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
Sirén was born in Helsinki in 1970 and in 1983 moved with his family to Switzerland, where his father, a biochemist, was working. (His mother is an interior designer by training and a writer on arts and culture.) He studied at the American school in the southern Swiss city of Lugano, near Italy, and said he intended from a young age to pursue a career in the United States.
The Albright-Knox collection first came Sirén's attention when he was studying at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. Among his favorite works from the gallery, he counts Jackson Pollock's "Convergence," Gauguin's "Spirit of the Dead Watching," Picasso's "La Toilette" and the entire collection of abstract expressionist masterpieces. He also praised Grachos' transformation of the exterior campus of the gallery as well as works by Sol LeWitt and Mona Hatoum now on view as part of "Decade," Grachos' valedictory exhibition.
"It's just really high-quality works, really intelligent collecting acumen and practices, and a solid foundation from which to build the future," Sirén said, calling the collection "on a global scale, remarkable."
The history of Sirén's family has intersected indirectly with Buffalo in the past: His great-grandfather, he said, was an associate of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarninen who, with his son Eero, designed Kleinhans Music Hall.
For Zemsky and other members of the Albright-Knox board, Sirén embodies the ideal of the modern, multitasking museum director, with the right combination of skills to keep the gallery on the upward trajectory that began under Grachos nearly a decade ago.
"People really do think of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery as a global art institution. Having international connections, I think it really is great in terms of our cultural tourism initiatives," Zemsky said. Sirén, she added, brings "energy, enthusiasm and a fresh outlook. We've had that before, but it's fresh. He's coming in with new eyes."
And Sirén, who said it was too early to talk about specific plans or initiatives he has for the museum, said he was drawn by the gallery's collection and reputation as much as by the city it serves.
"A museum such as the Albright-Knox, it always exists in relation to its own context and its urban fabric," Sirén said. "I'm coming there as much for Buffalo as I am to lead the Albright-Knox."

Just when it seemed like Wednesday night's Section VI girls hockey final between two evenly matched teams would play on long into the night, senior Alyssa Dollendorf made sure that didn't happen.
Kenmore couldn't be more thrilled about that.
Dollendorf's goal at 1:06 of the second overtime propelled Kenmore into its first state tournament as it defeated a more-than-game Williamsville crew, 2-1, before an estimated 500 at the Northtown Center in Amherst.
Dollendorf quickly potted a shot through the legs of Williamsville goalie Theresa Meosky off a nifty wrap-around feed from Jill Battista as Kenmore won its second straight sectional title, this one at the expense of Williamsville, which held a 36-23 edge in shots.
"I'm still in shock," Dollendorf said. "I feel like it was this crazy dream. Words can't even describe what it feels to do this."
"I'm overjoyed," said winning goalie Lauren Pray, who made 35 saves. "This is why you play."
Kenmore will face Section VII champion Beekmantown at 8 p.m. Friday in Canton. The winner will play either Section III champion Alexandria Bay or X-Potsdam for the unofficial state championship at noon Saturday in Canton. Because there are only four sections in the state which offer girls hockey, the state tournament isn't considered an official New York State Public High School Athletic Association event like the boys. There needs to be six sectional participants in order for it to be an official NYSPHSAA event.
Yeah, try telling that to members of Kenmore.
"It's just great to be here and have an opportunity like this," Dollendorf said. "There are girls all over the country who don't have the opportunity to play in leagues like this and win championships like this."
"It means the world to the girls," coach Jeff Orlowski said. "Last year, we won the title and the season just ended."
It ended because sectionals happened at the end of the Western New York Federation postseason tournament and state playoffs. Section VI adjusted the schedule last June so that it could send its champion to states this season and also crown an overall Federation champion. The Federation playoffs, which will include unbeaten Monsignor Martin Association, begin next week.
It's fitting the sectional final went to double overtime considering how evenly matched the two teams were and their history (Kenmore won the regular-season series 2-1).
Williamsville looked like it would get sweet revenge, dominating play in the third period and outshooting its foe, 11-2. Rachel Grampp connected on one of Williamsville's early shots, tying the game, 1-1, with 9:26 left in regulation with an unassisted tally off a goal-mouth scramble. Williamsville had its share of chances to win it after that but Pray, a sophomore, didn't let that happen.
"I just kept calm and just played like it was a normal game," Pray said. "I tried not to put too much pressure on myself."
"Anytime you're in double overtime it can go either way but the goaltending, Lauren, she made some great saves in the third period," said Williamsville coach Rick Hopkins. "I'm proud of my girls. They rallied back."
After the teams played a pretty even first and most of the second period, Kenmore took a 1-0 lead with 5:05 left in the second period when Kaeli Mathias' screen shot from the left circle found the top far corner. That goal came minutes after Pray made a fine reflex pad/skate save on a nifty redirection by Alexis Skibitsk y
"She's a great goalie. She's one of the best in the league," said Dollendorf.
Battista set up the winning play by making a nifty toe drag to give a Williamsville defenseman the slip. Battista's wraparound found a driving Dollendorf, and now Kenmore has a chance to make the type of championship history the Kenmore East boys' team did last year in winning the state title.
"They talked about wanting to repeat so we could have a chance at winning a state championship this year," Orlowski said. "The girls play with heart. I don't know how else to say it."

One of the most talented female vocal groups of all time, and one of Detroit's greatest gifts to the music world, is the Jones Girls. For whatever reason, Shirley, Valorie and Brenda Jones have not received the amount of attention their talents and accomplishments merit.
The Jones Girls were at their peak from 1979 to 1982 when they enjoyed national success with hits such as "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else," "I Just Love the Man," "Nights Over Egypt" and "Dance Turned Into a Romance." Their well-received albums include "The Jones Girls" and "At Peace With Woman."
When the group became inactive, Shirley Jones emerged with a No. 1 hit in mid-1986, "Do You Get Enough Love?"
The Jones Girls' first big break came in 1975 when Diana Ross hired them as her background singers. Their harmony was so tight and their attitude and demeanor so professional that they were hired on the spot. There was no need to audition anyone else. They stayed with Ross until 1978.
We send love to Brenda and Shirley, and cherish the memory of Valorie.
SPEAKING of trios, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price and Tamia, who have had success individually, are making an album as a trio, titled "The Queen Project."
This is, of course, not the first time three songstresses have worked together. Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight, for example, formed a power trio in '91 to record a new version of Karyn White's "Superwoman."
The guys do it too. Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill decided to collaborate in 1997, calling themselves LSG. Their first single, "My Body," was a huge hit, remaining at No. 1 on the national R&B chart for seven weeks.
LONETTE MCKEE, the actress/singer from Detroit who now has her own production company in the Detroit area and conducts acting workshops, sure laid it on the line in that very interesting interview in Gisele Caver's Key of Gee e-zine.
"When we are in our late thirties and early forties," she told interviewer Ortheia Barnes, they start elbowing you out and letting you know in no uncertain terms that you are no longer a desirable commodity for the camera."
McKee's has had major roles in such movies as "The Cotton Club," "Malcolm X," "Jungle Fever" and her first film, "Sparkle."
Amazingly, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" continues to be the best-selling jazz album of all time. It's smooth, authentic and everything else real jazz is supposed to be. Trumpeter Davis is accompanied by John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophone, Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly on piano, Jimmy Cobb on drums and Paul Chambers on bass.
You have to give Smokey Robinson and controversial talk show host/radio personality Wendy Williams credit. Both have been completely candid about their past cocaine addiction.
IT HAS BEEN reported that Jasmine Guy, most familiar to the public as Whitley Gilbert in the long-running sitcom "A Different World," has filed for bankruptcy. That's sad to hear, and we hope she has a full financial recovery, but one has to wonder how people let these situations develop. She is said to owe nearly $125,000 in back taxes.
Justin Timberlake describes Rihanna's upcoming album as "the next step for her" and says it will be "a little grown up" and "has got some edge." Timberlake is co-producing, along with the duo Chase and Status who are adding more dance beats to the project.
"So many performers sacrifice their entire life for the stage," said Maxwell, who took a nearly ten-year hiatus from recording and performing. He made it clear that he is not willing to make such a sacrifice. Hence, the hiatus.
Jamie Foxx expects to have a new album in the stores before the end of the year.
BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW …that Bill Cosby had a Top 10 single in the summer of 1967, "Little Old Man." (Yes, it was comedic.)
MEMORIES: "Free Your Mind" (En Vogue), "I Miss You" (Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes), "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" (Billy Ocean), "I'll Always Love My Mama" (the Intruders), "Groovin'" (the Young Rascals), "I Wanna Get Next to You" (Rose Royce), "Wildflower" (Skylark), "Here and Now" (Luther Vandross), "I Love Music" (the O'Jays).
BLESSINGS to Cheryl Grant, Rita McClendon, Ken Donaldson, Patricia Holsey, Cindy Thomas, Herb Boyd, Alan C. Young, A.B. Braggs, Angela Bell, Larry Robinson, Mojo, Dahyrl Gooden, T.P. Coleman and Ted Talbert.
WORDS OF THE WEEK, from Mark Twain: "Explore. Dream. Discover. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did."
Let the music play!

There has been quite a lot of buzz going around about the updates and changes to Bing. So we thought it was a prime opportunity to speak to the design manager,Robert Dietz and program manager, Nathan Buggia about the new release and answer some of your questions directly. You've got questions...we've got answers.
Oops, something didn't work.
When is this going to be available for public? (If it isn't on the show)
Bing needs two bee intergated with skype
well, NOT available in China...
Looking very good indeed.
Not using my favourite socnet, but kudos - these changes are nice.
Will you ever make any of the advanced features available for all the people outside the US? Will you ever add support for format conversions ("4 USD in EUR")?
Last time I tested Bing for some weeks, the result quality was still lacking and I had to go back to Google. Any news on that?
@deiruch:Top result says 4 US Dollar = 3.139988 Euro. I think this even worked prior to the update.
@dtower: Yeah, perhaps in the US. Try any other location, not even "International" works... Sad state of affairs.
@deiruch: Works in Canada... we don't have the update yet though.
Shame!.. why are you guys using chrome instead of IE.
Can I ask one more thing? What happend to the "HTML5 optimized" Bing that was shown some years ago? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYuLALX6aeI

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The Hollidaysburg Area school board voted 5-4 to open the position of head varsity softball coach.
The position has been held for the past 11 seasons by social studies teacher Mike Harris, who addressed the board Wednesday.
"I'm not here to discuss my being fired [Harris may reapply for the position, but he believes he won't be rehired]. I'm here to talk about the fact that I was not given a heads up. I understand there was an athletic committee meeting [during which the position was discussed] but I wasn't notified. Board members ran on a platform of transparency. Where is the transparency?" Harris said.
Harris was supported by assistant coach Paul Yakymac at the meeting.
Board member Stephanie Wertz led the board's discussion prior to the vote.
"After listening to these gentlemen, it appears people are concerned about the proper way to go about this. I understand people are concerned about games and scores, but can't we give him more of a notice?"
Harris asked the board to wait on its decision until he finishes the season, which begins in March. Harris' career win-loss record is 75-123. In the 2011 season, Harris' team's record was 1-13. For the 2012 season, the team went 3-15.
Harris gained the support of Wertz, Wally Tomassetti, Robert Vonada and Brady Leahey, who voted against opening the position.
"After tonight's dialogue, I vote no," Leahey said.
But board members Ron Yoder, Peter Hart, Darlee Sill, Aaron Ritchey and Troy Keefer were the majority voting to open the position.
Ritchey of the board's athletic committee said the softball coach position is an annual position for which the board is entitled to seek applicants.
"I don't see why the job needs to be restricted. It's not a character issue or lack of effort. The program is losing. It's not even competitive. If an English teacher was failing students for three years, we wouldn't give that teacher time to improve." Ritchey said. "I don't know why it's different with sports."
Ritchey hopes to have a pool of applicants for the position by November.
Mirror Staff Writer Russ O'Reilly is at 946-7435.

Drain Fly Control and Floor Treatment Products
When you are trying to kill or control small flies in structures such as fruit flies or phorid flies, finding the breeding source is key to their elimination. Insecticides for fly control are rarely needed except for space treatment to kill remaining adult flies. The infestation will continue as long as the breeding source is not corrected or treated with a drain or floor treatment.
Phorid flies larvae survive only in moist, decaying organic matter. The first spot should be the floor drain. Fly Larvae will live in the moist film that develops on the sides of a drain and in debris that may become trapped in the drains edge. When you see the presence of adult flies around the inside drain this is a good indication that the flies are breeding in that particular drain. The use of a drain treatment and floor mopping agent will help eliminate and prevent any organic matter from accumulating in the floor drain.

"Tropicalismo" Wallpaper by Lenny Kravitz & Flavor Paper
Flavor Paper, the progressively nostalgic New Orleans/Brooklyn-based wallpaper company launched "Tropicallismo" a collaboration with Lenny Kravitz. The collection of five patterns (each in at least 4 color variations) was inspired by Brazil in the late 1960's. Think bold prints, exuberant colors and Vasserely on steroids. Yes that is a Op art wave printed on a crocodile skin motif. John Pawson it's not. As Kravitz explained "Wallpaper has always played a part of our designs and we've been using Flavor Paper since the company started...The idea behind Tropicalismo comes from traveling and living in Brazil. Ultimately I wanted to create something beautiful, rhythmic and sexy, like the people of Brazil." The list of international pop stars that have either designed, bankrolled (or more likely licensed their name) to a fashion label is forever expanding. Justin Timberlake, Will.i. am, Kanye West, Madonna and Beyonce are just a few examples of this phenomenon. Whether any of these celebs have serious professional (versus monetary) ambitions in the realm of fashion is debatable. Lenny Kravitz is an interesting anomaly. Over the course of the last ten years, Kravitz has been quietly transitioning from a "weekend" interior designer to becoming a serious practitioner with an evolving aesthetic. His look, which mirror's his own fashion style, is heavily influenced by the early 70's. (Kravitz helped resuscitate interest in Paul Evans and has an impressive collection of both his furniture and sculptures). Kravitz Design was established around 2004 and since its inception Kravitz has designed a handful of uber-glamorous hotel spaces in addition to his own constantly changing list of personal properties.

Here's the big reveal!
Brandy showed off her engagement sparkler on Instagram Saturday when she shared a photo of herself and fiancé Ryan Press poolside in Hawaii.
Besides getting engaged, the couple has been soaking up the sun in the Aloha State and sharing photos – lots of photos – on social media.
"Hawaii sun all in my face :) Having a great time with my love @ryanpress215," Brandy wrote on Instagram earlier in the week.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant, 33, and music executive first went public with their romance last New Year's Eve when they were spotted cuddling in Las Vegas.
The singer told PEOPLE in March that her 10-year-old daughter Sy'rai (with producer Robert Smith) "loves Ryan, and he loves me for sure. But I don't have a ring."
But the ring didn't mean a thing for Brandy, "I told Ryan I'd marry him with a bubble-gum ring," she added.

Flooded Waterways too Dangerous for Boating
If you live in an area that is affected by serious flooding, you may be tempted to take a boat out on flooded roadways to have a look at the damage. Safe Electricity recommends you stay out of flooded land and waterways. High water levels may carry boats and other floating objects into contact with power lines and other electric equipment.
Unless it's an emergency, boaters should not head out on flooded waterways. You should always be 10 feet away from power lines in all directions. This can be difficult to do in rising water. Hazards beneath the water could also put your safety at risk.
If you are on a boat that does come in contact with a power line, never jump out of the boat into the water —the water could be energized. Instead, stay in the boat and avoid touching anything metal until help arrives or until your boat is no longer in contact with the line.
When areas become flooded, buoys and beacons can be moved or damaged. They should not be relied on for safe navigation.
Also practice caution in flooded rooms or areas inside a building. Never step into a flooded area if water could be in contact with electrical equipment or outlets. Make sure the power to the building is off before entering.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Those interested in more gun laws should read the 300 pages of existing state and federal gun laws, Blair County Sheriff Mitchell Cooper said Saturday.
"Then come back and tell me what additional laws you could conceivably want to add," he said.
That recommendation drew applause Saturday afternoon outside the Blair County Courthouse where 175 people turned out for a "Day of Resistance" rally sponsored by the Blair County Tea Party.

Kevin Garrett of Blairsville and Craig Rader of Hollidaysburg attend a 'Resistance Rally' outside the Blair County Courthouse on Saturday afternoon. More than 150 people attended the event.
The event, one of several in Pennsylvania and in the nation, was organized to show support for the Second Amendment and to protest actions labeled as unconstitutional gun control measures.
Gun-rights supporters say President Barack Obama overstepped his authority in January by authorizing 23 changes without congressional approval, when he unveiled a wide-ranging initiative described as the biggest U.S. gun-control push in generations.
"I'm here because I'm against Obama, really against Obama," Paul Carney of Strongstown said.
Carney and his wife, Ruth, who live near the border of Indiana and Cambria counties, said they made the drive to Hollidaysburg to be part of the rally.
"We're protesting what the government is doing to our Constitution and our Second Amendment rights," Ruth Carney said.
Cooper told the crowd that his support for the Second Amendment is based on 32 years in law enforcement.

Fannie May Candies Coupons and Promo Codes
Through the years Fannie May developed candies that went on to become favorites that were often the center of many family and holiday traditions. For instance, Fannie May Pixies® were first made in 1946 by hand-pouring caramel over nuts and then placing them on a conveyor belt to be drenched in chocolate. Today, that combination of caramel and crunchy pecans covered in chocolate is one of the company's best sellers. That same commitment to the quality of recipes continues today, with most of the same ingredients coming from the same suppliers for many years now.

Summer 2014 4-Day Workweek Schedule
Philander Smith College will begin implementing a 4-day, 10-hours per day (4/10) summer workweek schedule beginning Monday, May 5, 2014 and ending on Friday, August 1, 2014. The campus will be closed on Fridays during this period except for essential services (there will be departments maintaining 5-day or 24/7 coverage during this period based on PSC needs). The purpose of the 4/10 summer schedule is to keep the campus closed on Fridays and Saturdays to the greatest extent possible, thus reducing operating costs and assisting PSC with its cost savings initiatives.
General guidelines for implementation of the 4/10 summer workweek:
Essential personnel schedules may vary from this 4/10 summer schedule and will be handled by each department. The guidelines above must be used to establish each employee's specific schedule within those departments. Schedules will be determined in cooperation with, and approval of, the supervisor. Schedules are to be arranged between supervisors and employees .
It is our wish that this summer workweek schedule will not only increase productivity and uplift morale here at PSC, but that it will also improve each employee's family life and well-being.

The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast and Water Missions International announce that the 2013 Rotary Wheels Gala raised more than $108,000 for global and local initiatives.
The event, held on Sept. 12 at Memminger Auditorium, featured fantastic silent auction items, excellent food and drink, and an entertaining live auction led by the masterful Tom Crawford. The event was a smashing success and a great time for all who attended.
The groups are working to boost the proceeds of the event with matching grants available through regional and international Rotary grant programs. The ultimate goal is to provide sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation to a community in South or Central America that will transform the community by eliminating preventable water borne illnesses and allowing men, women and children to focus on education and development.
The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast will also reinvest a portion of the proceeds into their endowment fund at the Coastal Community Foundation. Since 2005, the Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast has given in excess of $130,000 to support approximately 15 Lowcountry charities.
The Rotary Club of Charleston Breakfast and Water Missions International would like to express their most sincere thanks to all who made this event possible. Notably, the evening will have a long lasting impact worldwide as well as in the Lowcountry.

Ms. West spent most of her life running the 36,000 acre Rafter S Ranch near Batesville in Zavala County and 10,000 additional acres in Val Verde County, doing much of the work herself. She operated the Rafter S Ranch since the age of eighteen when she took the reins from her grandfather, George Washington West, a pioneer Texas rancher.
For over 20 years, Ms. West worked as a volunteer with the San Antonio Livestock Association. In 1984 she became both president and chairman of the association, the first woman to hold these positions.
Other "firsts" for Ms. West include first woman president of the Alamo Quarter Horse Association, first woman chair of the Board of the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo, the first woman to serve on the Texas Animal Health Commission and the first woman to serve as Chairman of the Board of Regents of Texas A&M University.
She served on the boards of the San Antonio Zoo and Incarnate Word College. She was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, Texas Heritage Hall of Fame and the San Antonio Womens Hall of Fame.
