A conservative federal appeals court upheld President Obama's health care law Tuesday, setting the stage for a fight before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a split opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed a suit by the American Center for Law and Justice that claimed parts of the law unconstitutional.
Similar lawsuits against the requirement that all Americans buy health insurance have been working their way through the legal system.
Some courts have upheld the law, while others have opposed it.
Court watchers believe the Supreme Court will have the final say on the law. The high court is expected to decide soon on whether to accept appeals from other rulings.

BOVINA - A former Bovina city clerk was arrested Wednesday on charges of misapplication of fiduciary funds.
Sarah Alonzo Brito, 27, was freed Wednesday after she posted $25,000 bail, Parmer County Sheriff Randy Geries said Friday.
District Attorney Johnny Actkinson declined to discuss specifics of the charges. However, Actkinson said the charges are first-degree felonies, punishable by two years to life in prison.
Bovina City Manager Ernest Terry said Brito worked as city clerk from January 1999 to February 2001 and worked for the city in another capacity prior to that.
Brito left the job voluntarily, Terry said.
The investigation was conducted by the Texas Attorney General's office, Actkinson's office, the Parmer County Sheriff's Department, outside consultants, and city officials and staff, Terry said.
The city has taken steps to protect public funds and prevent future misappropriations, Terry said.
The city has installed new financial and billing software, implemented new financial policies, guidelines and procedures, and is undergoing a complete audit by an independent auditing firm, he said.
Audit results are expected at the end of this month, Terry said.

Greg Kinnear, star of Heaven Is for Real, says the man who inspired his role is full of surprises.
Todd Burpo is a family man, pastor and jack-of-all-trades whose 4-year-old son claimed to have visited heaven during a near-death experience. Burpo's 2010 book telling the boy's story — and the crisis of faith that his family experienced as a result — was a best-seller (more than 8 million copies in print).
When Kinnear signed on to star in the movie, Burpo pressed him to get one particular performance detail perfect. But to the actor's surprise, it had nothing to do with ministry work.
"What he was adamant about was the firefighter aspect of his life," Kinnear said while in Dallas to promote the film. "Todd is so many things in addition to being a pastor: He's a volunteer firefighter, a wrestling coach, a garage-door installer.
"It was about this other stuff that he said, 'Don't mess it up or the guys at the fire house will give me a hard time!'"
Kinnear believes that Heaven Is for Real has the same ability to defy expectations. Although the title might suggest otherwise, Kinnear says it's not just for moviegoers of religious faith.
Kinnear, co-star (and Texan) Margo Martindale and director Randall Wallace were in town last week for the red-carpet, world premiere screening Thursday in Plano as part of the Dallas International Film Festival.
The film opens in theaters on Wednesday.
What do you have to say to people who might resist seeing Heaven Is for Real because they assume it's too "preachy" for their tastes?
Kinnear: There are people who will read the title and think that. I wondered, too, at first. But when I read the script, I found that it's subtle and challenging. The movie doesn't take the easy road of the little boy saying, 'Hey, I went to heaven,' and his pastor father giving him a high-five. Instead, this man has difficulty believing the things his son talks about. There is more conflict in this family's journey than I would have expected from a title as unambiguous as Heaven Is for Real.
Martindale: I wish the movie didn't have an asterisk by it. I'd rather that people come to see it without preconceived ideas. We haven't made a genre film.
Wallace: Our purpose is not to preach and not to be in the grip of anybody's dogma. We want the movie to share an authentic experience and to raise questions that come from it.
Will people who loved the book be able to love the movie?
Kinnear: Books and movies are two different journeys. This is a movie and ultimately it has to live or die on that basis alone. But Todd is very happy with it and I'm pleased about that.
What do you most hope viewers will take away from the movie?
Wallace: I hope that people will find encouragement in knowing that doubt is not a sin. We're not wrong to question; we're made to question. And we're loved as we are, even with all of our questions.
Kinnear: I hope that when people walk out of the theater to their cars, they'll say, 'That was a good movie. I really liked that.' I know that sounds small, but it's the highest praise you can give a movie.
Martindale: I hope there are conversations that happen. We are all interested in knowing what happens next after we die. It's a big subject. And regardless what people think of the movie, love it or hate it, I think it will make conversations happen.
Kinnear: That's better than what I said, so I'm revising my answer. I want them talking about the movie on the drive home. How about that?

ISO 8434-3 2nd Edition, July 15, 2005
Complete Document
Metallic tube connections for fluid power and general use - Part 3: O-ring face seal connectors
Additional Comments: ENGLISH
Published By:International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Page Count:70
This part of ISO 8434 specifies the general and dimensional requirements for the design and performance of O-ring face seal connectors made of steel for tube outside diameters or hose inside diameters of 6 mm through 38 mm, inclusive. These connectors are for use in fluid power and general applications where elastomeric seals can be used to prevent fluid leakage, including leakage caused by variations in assembly procedures. They are intended for the connection of tubes and hose fittings to ports in accordance with ISO 6149-1. (See ISO 12151-1 for related hose fitting specification.)
These connectors provide leakproof, full-flow connections in hydraulic systems operating from a vacuum of 6,5 kPa [0,065 bar 3)] absolute pressure to the working pressures shown in Table 1. Because many factors influence the pressure at which a system performs satisfactorily, these values shall not be understood as guaranteed minimums. For every application, it is recommended that sufficient testing be conducted and reviewed by both the user and manufacturer to ensure that required performance levels are met.
NOTE For use under conditions outside the pressure and/or temperature limits specified, see 5.3.
Both metric and inch tubing can be accommodated by changing the sleeve (see Annex D). In the past, these connectors have been used predominantly with inch tubing. For new and future designs, the use of metric tubing is preferred.
This part of ISO 8434 also specifies a performance and qualification test for O-ring face seal connectors.
3) 1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1N/mm2.

CRANFORD - Township resident James L. Hertz pleaded guilty to rigging bids for municipal-bond investment contracts,according to court documents released by the Department of Justice. Hertz becomes the eighth person to admit joining the biggest conspiracy in the market's history, according to Bloomberg News
According to the court document, from approximately 1994 through approximately December 2007, Hertz worked in the municipal derivatives group for subsidiary of JP Morgan Chase as a vice president and a marketer of investment agreements and other municipal finance contracts. He was fired by the financial institution in 2007.
As part of a fraud, court documents state that Hertz conspired with a broker located in Minnesota from as early as 1998 until at least November 2006. As part of this conspiracy, the broker gave Hertz information about the prices, price levels or conditions in competitors' bids, which is prohibited by U.S. Treasury regulations.
The documents further allege that in some instances, the broker signaled Hertz to change his bids to specific numbers so that his employer could make more money. At other times, Hertz and co-conspirators also submitted intentionally losing bids to make it appear that the institution had competed for certain agreements and contracts. As a result of the bid manipulation, Hertz's employer won investment agreements and other municipal finance contracts at artificially determined price levels, which deprived municipal issuers of money and property, according to the Department of Justice.
The court documents also charge that Hertz and co-conspirators misrepresented to municipal issuers or their bond counsel that the bidding process was in compliance with U.S. Treasury regulations.
Hertz is latest person to admit his guilt in an ongoing investigation into the municipal bonds industry, which is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's New York Field Office, the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation.
The bid-rigging conspiracy with which Hertz is charged carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The fraud conspiracy with which Hertz is charged carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The wire fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

EAST GREENWICH TWP. — Notices were delivered to seven police department employees Wednesday informing them that their jobs will be up for discussion and possibly eliminated at the next township committee meeting.
Resolutions to lay off the five full-time police officers, one part-time officer and a part-time police clerk will be on the agenda for the meeting that will take place Tuesday.
The township is facing a nearly $600,000 budget shortfall this year, according to Deputy Mayor Jeff Craig. And while laying off anyone is not something they wish to do, the committee says it hasn't seen cooperation from the police department that would offer other options to save money.
"We haven't heard yet from the police union whether or not they will open the police contract," Craig said. "We are hopeful that we will, but we haven't heard back from them. If we do get concessions, fairly significant concessions, some of these positions might be able to be saved."
Police department layoffs caused an uproar in East Greenwich early last month when two names — part-time officer Gerald Eli Hall and part-time clerk Deann Benvenuto — were deliberately left off a list of reappointments at the township's reorganization meeting, essentially laying off the two individuals.
While the action proved to be legal, some argued it was unethical because the employees and the police department did not know it was happening until the jobs were already eliminated. The committee reversed its decision late last month.
The two positions are again in jeopardy with the newest measure.
The township, in searching for funds to make up the massive shortfall in its budget, has asked each department to find at least a 20 percent savings. While most departments have complied, the police department has yet to do so, according to Craig.
Members of the committee met with the police department's union representative in late January in hopes of reopening the police contract and finding savings without laying off a large number of people.
"My hope is that the police union steps up and makes significant concessions and we don't have to lay off this many officers," Craig said.
Mayor Fred Grant, who came under scrutiny following the January layoffs because the Hall was present at a traffic stop that resulted in the mayor being charged with driving under the influence, was not present at the meeting.
Laying off six police officers is something that would severely affect the township's response times, according to Police Chief Barry Jenkins.
"Overall it will impact how we police the streets," Jenkins said.
The officers at risk are the township's newest hires. Some were hired within the last year, while at least one has been with the department since 2007.

Bihar: Nitish disapproves slapping of Pawar
Nitish Kumar was reacting to a youth slapping Sharad Pawar at a public function in New Delhi on Thursday.
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday condemned the slapping of union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar by a youth in New Delhi.
"It is not right way to protest on any issue...We do not approve of such a violent act and condemn it. There is no place for violence in society and democracy", Kumar told reporters in Patna on his arrival from his seva yatra in Bihar's Sheikhpura district.
"We condemn such violent act. Such an act cannot rein in price rise... it might have been resorted to for cheap popularity", Kumar said.
He was reacting to a youth slapping Pawar at a public function in New Delhi earlier on Thursday.

"Oh yea, we've won," Mr. Lewis said. "We won twice. We've won the lottery two times," he told the Dallas-Fort Worth ABC affiliate. The couple did not use fertility drugs and say they would even like to have a third set.
"Yea, we're going to try for another set," Mr. Lewis said. "We're serious. We think that would be pretty awesome."
"Maybe girls next time," Mrs. Lewis said.

Five Tips for Starting Vegetable Seedlings Indoors More Cheaply
There are a variety of reasons why gardeners start their vegetable plants inside. Many do it to save money on the high price of organic seedlings at the garden center. The truth is starting seeds indoors can be even more costly than buying plants. So if saving money is your goal, you need to be careful to keep costs down.
But saving money isn't the only reason to start plants early. In the northern U.S., vegetable gardeners start their plants indoors to get a jump on the short growing season. If you're growing plants early in hoop houses, for example, commercial seed starts probably won't be ready in time. Others like to make sure seedlings are grown organically under the best possible growing conditions. Still others can't buy the varieties they want at the garden center.
If you are starting seeds inside, as so many on KGI will, here are five tips for keeping costs down.
1. Build your own seedling starting unit. Retail seedling starting units with grow lights are expensive. One with enough space for a reasonable-sized garden will cost about $350. At that price, it will take forever to make your money back by starting seedlings. But even a "handyman challenged" person such as myself can make one for half or even one-third the price. See this video post Build an Indoor Seedling Starting Unit for an inexpensive, easy-to-build unit. Those with more skill with tools could probably save even more.
2. Get rare heirloom seeds free. Many people start seeds indoors to save money, yet empty their pockets buying seeds. That's okay if searching through seed catalogs is what you enjoy, but with a little more work, you can get rare varieties for free. See how I got three unusual heirloom tomatoes from the USDA Agricultural Research Service at Rare Vegetable Seeds from U.S. Government. I didn't even pay postage and the USDA would have sent me more seeds if I had asked.
3. Compare Seed Prices Easily with Google for Seeds. If you're still planning on buying pricey rare seeds, you can still shop around for the best prices easily. Use this Google search tool from Mother Earth News at Find Exactly the Varieties You Want to locate the best deals from the seed catalogs.
4. Make seedling pots from newspaper. Peat pots and trays add to the cost of your garden and some of us question if peat is environmentally sustainable. I also wonder if peat contributes to dampening off of seedlings, the most common seedling starting problem. On the other hand, cow manure pots cost a fortune. Soil block makers can be difficult to use because it's hard to get the right formula for the soil media. But paper pots are easy to make and don't cost a cent. See this video showing you how to Make Paper Pots from Dave's Garden.
5. Mix your own organic seed starting mix. If you start a lot of seedlings, you may want to mix your own seed starting mix. But in most cases, it's cheaper to buy it off the shelf. I don't advise sterilizing your own mix in your kitchen oven. I've never tried it, but too many people tell me it really smells up the house. Here's My Plan for Seed Starting Mix.
I'm sure you know about other ways to reduce the cost of starting seeds indoors. That's the real beauty of this forum. Please let me know how you do it in the comment section below so everyone can take advantage of your great ideas.

Arthur J. Walker, who sold secret Navy files to the Soviets, dead at 79
Arthur J. Walker, a conspirator in one of the biggest U.S. spy cases since World War II, was a surprisingly trusting soul.
When FBI agents wanted to talk to him in 1985 after arresting his brother John on suspicion of espionage, Walker voluntarily chatted, over several sessions, for a total of 32 hours, without a lawyer.
When a prosecution witness at Arthur's trial had a hard time identifying him in a Virginia courtroom, he helpfully raised his hand. After all, he had been wearing a hairpiece when the witness last saw him.
And even after U.S. District Judge J. Calvert Clarke Jr. took all of 16 minutes to convict him of espionage, Walker asked his astonished attorney, "What do you think, maybe a two-year suspended sentence? I won't have to go to prison, will I?"
He was given a life term, but under federal sentencing guidelines that were stiffened after his conviction, he was eligible for parole. Another hearing was to be held in August.
Walker, who made $12,000 for selling classified documents to Soviet agents through his brother, died July 5 in a federal prison in Butner, N.C. He was 79. His death was confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. No cause was disclosed.
John Walker, who is incarcerated in the prison where his brother died, is said to have throat cancer. He is to be released in May, according to federal authorities.
When the family espionage ring was uncovered, John Walker was cast by authorities as its mastermind, a manipulator who got his son Michael, his older brother Arthur and his best friend Jerry Whitworth to join him.

More than 200 patriotic Americans gathered Friday at American Legion Post 281 in Tyrone for the fourth annual Freedom Ride, a family-friendly, 10-mile long bicycle marathon.
This year, Freedom Ride USA raised a total of $12,000 for
the Van Zandt VA Medical Center.

Photo for the Mirror by Dylan J. Strohman /
A group of more than 200 bicyclists, including Jay Paterno in the Boston Red Sox jersey, participated in this year's Freedom Ride in Tyrone. The ride raised about $12,000 for the Van Zandt VA Medical Center in Altoona.
"We wanted to honor our local veterans," said coordinator Eric Sloss. "Every year on the Fourth of July, count on us being here."
Just as the event began, Sloss announced: "All we ask is that you ride as free as possible; we're going to be celebrating USA all day."
Countless Star Spangled Banners waved as the motley bunch of bicyclists departed from the American Legion Post at 10 a.m.
"We had the Legion Riders come out and lead us through town to get us through the stoplights and everything," Sloss explained.
As riders rounded the first corner, an approaching carrier train suddenly halted the patriotic ardor. The crowd's spirit was far from defeated, however; as the final carts were approaching, the lively group erupted with a fervid hurrah.
Among the crowd of patriots was Jay Paterno, son of late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
Dressed in the Red Sox jersey of former U.S. Marine Corps pilot Ted Williams, Paterno enjoyed his second Freedom Ride in a row this year.
"All different types of people, all here for the same reason, all having a great time - what else do you want on the Fourth of July?" Paterno said.
"I came last year, and I had a blast, and obviously it's for the VA hospital, which is a very worthy cause. For all the veterans that did so many things for this country, why wouldn't you?"
After the race concluded, Paterno commented: "I got a little burn in the thighs. I'm not going to lie."
"We don't get enough credit for just being American," said Marine Corps veteran Fred Egerer. "We can win wars by beating people up, but we mostly win wars because we're good people, and we got freedom. In the end, that's what changes culture, and that's what's important."

A risqué mannequin is raising eyebrows in downtown Reading. A boutique on Penn Street displayed the scantily-clad dummy for all to see.
Then the city stepped in and asked that it be taken down. But did the city have the right to do it?
It's clad in leather, chains and little else. The outfit may work on some streets, but apparently not in Reading.
The city asked Little Paris, the Penn Street boutique displaying the provocative piece, to take it inside and off the street.
"I was especially concerned with the bondage," said Councilwoman Marcia-Goodman-Hinnershitz. "It said something in our perceptions of women. Not a message we want to as we reshape our downtown."
Goodman-Hinnershitz brought up the issue at Monday night's council meeting, suggesting the risqué mannequin be removed.
"I don't want to fight, so why fight with such a small community. I need them. Those are our customers," said Kande Djaka, the store's manager.
A pair of police officers stopped by the store on Tuesday and asked Djaka to take the mannequin inside. She did.
But did the store, which still shows an array of scantly clad mannequins outside, have to?
"This is not a residential area. It is commercial. If you don't want to see the lingerie, you don't have to come to Penn Street," Djaka said.
According to city code, any business that wants a sidewalk display needs a permit, but the city admits laws are vague on the dress, or lack there of, for mannequins.
"They don't have a right. It's a business. We have worse issues than naked mannequins on Penn Street," said one passerby.
"Too explicit for children to be looking at. They should know nothing about that," another passerby said.
"This is in our society. The human body is a work of art," said another passerby on Penn Street.
The store, which has been around for 18 months, is reverting to the old adage that no publicity is bad publicity. It's hoping the attention boosts sales.
Little Paris may be laughing all the way to the bank. Before the clothing controversy, the shop said it was already selling five of the outfits per week.

What happens when a spouse strays? Does the person begin a new life and find an alternate happily-ever-after? If not, should the transgression be forgiven?
Taking on infidelity at the George Street Playhouse in "Clever Little Lies," playwright Joe DiPietro avoids easy answers and provides entertainment as well as food for thought.
As he addresses questions of love and family, he crafts a neat stage quartet, which is brilliantly led by Marlo Thomas, who graces the New Brunswick stage for her third production.
Sharply directed by David Saint, the theater's artistic director, the characters are given lifelike, detailed portrayals. While familiar, the emotional depth displayed in the writing and the performances carries the four players beyond types.
There's a young couple, Jane (Kate Wetherhead) and Bill Jr. (Jim Stanek), and his parents, Alice (Thomas) and Bill Sr. (Greg Mullavey).
Feeling trapped by the new demands of work, marriage and fatherhood, Bill Jr. dreams of escape. He becomes distracted, even to the point of losing a tennis match to his father, who soon learns something is wrong. And if he knows, Alice knows. Soon, Alice has engineered a night for the four of them (plus the baby granddaughter) to get together over cheesecake and hash out their problems.
DiPietro, a New Jersey native known for Broadway's "Memphis" and the off-Broadway hit "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," deftly shifts between substantial drama and light comedy. At one point, a character describes seeing a lover again for the first time in years — at his memorial service.
"You saw him again?" the cheated-on asks, hurt and incredulous.
"No, it was a closed casket."
The show runs about 90 minutes, without intermission, and Saint ensures a swift pace. The many banter interchanges have consistently spot-on timing and seem effortless. Yoshi Tanokura creates a lavish set, including an onstage car and video projections, and Scott Killian contributes effective original music and sound design.
As Bill Jr., Stanek convincingly conveys his character's restlessness and veers into ugliness without ever becoming completely alienating.
He and Mullavey must contend with a slightly awkward opening that jolts from tears to what might be normal locker room banter, if it weren't a father-and-son heart-to-heart. But in Stanek's final scenes with Wetherhead, the vulnerability of both characters comes through poignantly.
As Bill Sr., Mullavey gives a performance that is (and should be) quieter than his cast mates. But the changes in his face and posture as his family's confessions and shouts spin around him are at least as moving as any line.
Wetherhead starts out in nagging wife territory as new mom Jane, with a stream of nonstop chatter that includes a habit of quoting medical studies. Yet she becomes increasingly sympathetic and the portrayal is lively and varied as she seems to mirror her mother-in-law's well-meaning, yet domineering attitude. These women will do whatever it takes to get what they want, but while far from flawless, they usually do know best.
Alice, however, is more extreme, willing to risk the happy relationship she has built for decades for the sake of her son. Thomas is a dynamo onstage, one moment exuding easy charm, the next fierce authority and then impassioned devotion.
DiPietro also affords her an amusing rant about her struggles as a bookstore owner — no one wants to read Charles Dickens or F. Scott Fitzgerald, they want to buy mugs, T-shirts or underwear with the authors' faces. And just wait until she gets started on "Fifty Shades of Grey."

text: 5 reasons to love the LG G3 TheTravelHack July 21, 2014 Review9 Comments TweetSumoMeTweetI am what you would call a Semi Tech Geek. I love technology and gadgets, especially anything that makes my work and blogging life easier. I get super excited over new gadgets and I love testing new products but (little confession) I usually don't understand anything about my gadgets.I watch YouTube videos and read reviews that bamboozle me with tech language that leave me feeling completely confused. It can take me weeks to figure out how to use a new gadget and it isn't uncommon for me to figure out new features after using it for months.I want gadgets full of complex and intelligent features but I want them to be easy to use. There's no point having hundreds of hidden features that I can never find, right?So this is why I'd like to introduce you to the G3 from LG and bring you a non-techy tech review.I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and last weekend I took it glamping with me when I stayed in a yurt and here are five reasons why I love it.Reason #1 to love the LG G3It's so easy to use!Yes, at the top of the list is how simple and intuitive the phone is. Now I don't want you thinking this is a simple phone because it really isn't. It's packed full of features but they're easy to find and use. Yes, even for me.Reason #2 to love the LG G3The selfie featureAm I being self obsessed when I say that my second favourite feature is how easy it is to take selfies? I probably am but I know I'm not alone. Over one million selfies are taken each day and anything that makes it easier to strike a pose can only be a good thing.The LG G3 has a very cool feature for selfies. You hold up your hand in front of the screen until the camera detects it and then you close your hand into a fist. A 3-second countdown then appears so you have just enough time to hold the camera naturally and work your pout. There's no more awkward pose as you try to press the button, pose and get the right angle at the same time. Genius.Road trip selfies with the poochReason #3 to love the LG G3It's quick and easy to take photosOne of the things I love about phone photography is quickly and easily capturing candid moments. When I'm travelling I often see something so beautiful and unusual and interesting that I know I have to take a photo. So I take my bag off my shoulder and start rummaging around for my camera and I take the lens cap off and turn it on and blah blah blah and guess what…the moment has gone.Thankfully, the LG G3 is really quick. Because of the slim size it's easy to keep in my pocket so as soon as I see something Instagram worthy I can whip it out and take a quick snap.I've set it up so the back button instantly took me to the camera. No faffing, no passwords, just quick and simple.The camera has a laser auto-focus which basically means it focuses really quickly, meaning you don't miss the moment. It uses the same technology as the radar guns police use to catch people speeding and it's usually only found in high-end digital DSLRs.Chasing butterflies with the LG G3Reason #4 to love the LG G3The screenThe LG G3 has a Quad HD display screen with 440 – 600 pixels per inch.Yea, I don't know what that means either. All you need to know is that the screen is flipping awesome. As in, better than my TV at home awesome. As in, when you hand the phone to anyone they take a second glance and say, 'Wow, that screen's pretty good, isn't it?' At which point you smile smugly and beam, 'Yes, yes, it is.'The screen is also pretty big making it ideal for watching films on the move. The first minute from Breaking Bad still gives me tingles! (and not because Walter White is wearing his tighty whities)Reason #5 to love the LG G3The designYou have to admit that the design of this phone is pretty sexy. It's been designed to fit naturally into your hand, even for people like me who have tiny hands. It's also pretty slick with no buttons down the slides or on the front. There are three buttons on the back in the exact place where your finger naturally rests. You can select what you'd like these buttons to do based on which features you use the most. To activate the phone you just double tap the screen.I particularly like the password activation feature called the Knock Code whereby you tap the screen 3-8 times in a sequence you've previously chosen. There's no chance your friends can get into this phone and see the hundreds of embarrassing selfies you've been taking.The final important questions…Would I recommend this phone to a friend?Yes, 100%. I'd be more than happy to recommend this phone to anyone and would be really confident they'd be happy with it.Is it good for travelling?Yes, it's obviously a pricey gadget (like all smartphones) available for £479 from Currys but if you're happy to travel with an expensive phone then it's great.The large screen is perfect for watching films during long journeys and there are loads of apps to help you while you're travelling. The battery life is great and I like being able to remove the battery. This means you can have spare batteries if you know you're going to be without power for a few days.Disclaimer: I was provided with this phone for the purpose of a review but all thoughts and opinions are, as always, my own. 9 Responses Josie July 21, 2014 The screen and photo quality is fantastic! So handy for bloggers not to have to carry a huge camera around the whole time!Josie xoxo Fashion Mumblr Reply TheTravelHack July 21, 2014 Definitely. I hate lugging my DSLR around with me, it's such a chunk and you can often get just as good photos with the G3. Reply Sara @ The Let's Go Ladies July 22, 2014 "I want gadgets full of complex and intelligent features but I want them to be easy to use. There's no point having hundreds of hidden features that I can never find, right?" – YES! This is something that drives me crazy about all tech. Sure, it's kind of exciting when you learn about a new feature you never knew about but I've also lost track of how many times I've caught myself saying, "Huh, wish I had known about that earlier" in those moments…I'm pretty die-hard for iPhone but even I have to admit that selfie feature is preeeeetty fun! Reply TheTravelHack July 23, 2014 It's the selfie feature that sold it to me! Reply Ãh?àn July 23, 2014 I like your review of this smartphone. The thing that surprises me every time I see this smartphone is the Quad HD display. It is absolutely gorgeous. I gotta buy this phone asap. Reply hotmamatravel July 23, 2014 The screen does look awesome. Reply TheTravelHack July 23, 2014 It is, it's brilliant. I never seen a phone with such a good screen. Reply 5 reasons to love the LG G3 | The Travel Hack | LG Hacks July 23, 2014 […] Read more: 5 reasons to love the LG G3 | The Travel Hack […] Reply Vero4travel October 4, 2014 Woow, such a nice review, I'm also a travel blogger (Spanish one) and I'm thinking to change my mobile, I will consider the idea to have this LG.Thank you, Regards Jesús Reply Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website

KALAMAZOO, MI – Want to live in downtown Kalamazoo? Take a number.
Residential space has been increasing over the past few years, and while there are several more buildings currently being developed or redeveloped, it's not easy for potential residents to find vacancy, area property managers say.
Of more than 600 residential units that Downtown Kalamazoo Inc. tracks in the central business district, the availability rate through last December was about 1.2 percent, said Rob Peterson, business recruitment and retention director for DKI.
Peterson conducts a residential occupancy survey of the downtown each year.
"The primary piece of actual data that tells me there's demand," he said, however, "is every time we measure the occupancy, most landlords are on a wait list (system) rather than having much in the way of vacancies. A 2 percent vacancy rate in downtown Kalamazoo equates to having maybe three units of residential available. That's an unnaturally low vacancy rate, and that is a sign that there is room in the market for more residential."
"We hate telling people there's no place," said Patti Owens.
So she and other downtown property managers often call one another to try to find some way to place newcomers, business people whose jobs have shifted, and anyone else who simply impresses them with a desire to live in the heart of the city.
"But the reality is," said Owens, who is managing director and vice president of Catalyst Development Co., "there's nothing available."
Catalyst is the property-development arm of the Kalamazoo-based Greenleaf Cos. Along with office properties for that business group and others, it developed in 2007 the DeVisser Place, an historically accurate rebuild of two buildings into a new single structure at 214 S. Kalamazoo Mall.
The ground floor is home to Gazelle Sports, and the second and third floors accommodate DeVisser Place Luxury Apartment, six one- and two-bedroom loft apartments ranging in size from 1,125 to 2,300 square feet. They lease for $1,400 to $2,900 per month.
The apartments have outdoor terraces and the building features a community roof-top deck.
In 2011, Catalyst began renovating and, in part, demolishing much of a 146-year-old building at 154 S. Kalamazoo Mall that once served as Kalamazoo's first city hall. It was converted for ground-level commercial space (Optimed Specialty Pharmacy is the first business tenant) and second-floor residential (five one- and two-level luxury loft apartments ranging from 1,135 to 2,100 square feet of space. They lease for $1,500 to $2,600 per month.
"We get telephone calls from unique people, prospective tenants, every day," Owens said. "I mean every day. And we have no place for them."
Peterson said the Skyrise Building, which has 305 residential units at 525 S. Burdick St., and the Marlborough Condominiums, which has 35 units at 471 W. South St., are perhaps the only two buildings downtown that he knows were built to be residential.
"Almost everything else is converted space," he said.
The converted spaces that have become the bulk of what is available downtown, have been unique and have attracted the imagination of any number of professionals transplanted here from big city markets, and while development has not kept pace with demand, there are a few business people who have oars in the water.
What's new
- Life Story Building
Businessmen Jon Durham, Jerry Harty and Herb Ayres converted the former SmartShop Metal Arts Collective at 316 E. North St. into the Life Story Building, a commercial and residential development that houses three businesses, an art studio and six living units. The residential units include two condominiums and four apartment units.
Each apartment is 650 square feet. One condo is 2,300 square feet and the second is 2,700 square feet. Ayres said the apartments, which rent for $770 to $850 per month, are all filled.
Just off North Street near Harrison Street, the location is officially part of Kalamazoo's North Side, but for many -- including its occupants -- it is perceptually part of downtown Kalamazoo. Durham and Harty said they love being able to walk to restaurants, plays and other downtown venues.
- Arlington Loft Apartments
On Aug. 1, Ron and Matthew Smilanich will begin redeveloping the second and third floor of the former Arlington Hotel building at 338 E. Michigan Ave. The ground level has been the home of their business, Bimbo's Pizza, since 1959. The business rented space there for about 27 years before the family bought the entire building in 1976.
The father and son plan to build six luxury loft-style apartments in the 10,000 square feet of space on the second and third floors, above the pizzeria. A large portion of that will involve redeveloping the former hotel's two-story-high grand ballroom. The development will be called the Arlington Loft Apartments.
"It has always been our dream to develop the upstairs," Matthew Smilanich said, speaking for himself and his father, Ron. "We've talked about apartments. We've talked about office space. I guess we've looked at all of our options and gone back and forth on all kinds of things. Apartments have been the No. 1 thing."
The apartment units will have unique configurations ranging from a 990-square-foot, single-story unit, to a 1,470-square-foot, two-story unit. The development includes building a large portion of the third floor to convert the airy space that had been the grand ballroom of the old Arlington Hotel. The Arlington Hotel was built in the 1870 or 1880s.
The Smilaniches hope to attract professionals and retirees interested in living downtown, as well as students and faculty of the Western Michigan University Medical School, which is to open at 300 E. Lovell St. in 2014. They expect monthly rental rates to range from about $1,200 to $1,700.
If all goes well, the Arlington Loft Apartments will be completed in 18 months to two years.
Theirs is one of two multi-unit residential projects currently underway in the downtown.
- Peregrine Plaza
Also under construction is the build-out of the Peregrine Plaza Building.
Peregrine Realty, owned and operated by Tom Huff of Kalamazoo, is adding to its residential holdings by building out the upper level of the Peregrine Plaza Building, off the southwest corner of South Street and the Kalamazoo Mall.
The lower level includes commercial space and is the home of the MLive Media Group/Kalamazoo Gazette and other businesses.
The upper level, which will house 16 one- and two-level apartments ranging in size from 1,400 to 2,000 square feet. Eight will have access to an interior courtyard area. The others, along the perimeter of the building, will have two levels and balconies that overlook part of South Street and part of the Kalamazoo Mall.
- Lovell Square
Terry and Laurel Parrott of Kalamazoo have developed modern apartment spaces for young professionals and anyone who loves the idea of central-city living in what was the Merrill Residence, an apartment dwelling for senior citizens that had been vacated at the southeast corner of Lovell Street and Westnedge Avenue.
In the fall of 2012, they began renovating the 475 W. Lovell St. location at a cost of about $4.5 million. In December, they opened Lovell Square Apartments -- 41 modern apartment units ranging from 800 square feet (renting for about $925 per month) to 1,500 (leasing for about $1,550 per month).
The Parrotts, who own and operate the Kalamazoo House Bed & Breakfast, about one block north at 447 W. South St., said they bought the vacated former senior citizen residence because it is part of their neighborhood and they wanted to see it put to use "in a way that it benefits the community."
It has vacancies, but they are not included in Peterson's occupancy survey because Lovell Square does not sit inside the city's Downtown Development District.
Why build now?
Huff, who is landlord to numerous one- and two-bedroom apartment units above businesses along the Kalamazoo Mall and East Michigan Avenue, said he continues to think more residential development is needed downtown.
"I'm not your normal real estate developer," he said. "I started this -- building residential -- down here because I thought it was neat and cool. I saw this when I would travel and I'm a lover of downtowns."
Most of his properties are what he describes as luxury units, targeted at attracting empty-nesters and professionals who enjoy being within walking distance of restaurants, their work-places and entertainment opportunities.
"All the buildings I have bought have surplus second and third floors that could be easily developed," said Huff, who started buying in the early 1980s.
"I think the downtown has been improving for years," Matthew Smilanich said. "We just feel there is a much greater demand for downtown living."
Peterson has some thoughts on what has triggered that demand.
"As downtown becomes a more fun place to be, more people want to live here," he said. "The catalyst is the fact that the community has been working on this for 25 years. It's been a focus of our community efforts and it's something that starts to snowball. More people mean more retail and restaurant. And more retail and restaurants, means more people.
"We worked long and hard and we've started building some momentum. And the growth of downtown Kalamazoo is not even close to being done."

This beautiful hand painted Limoge charger certainly makes a dramatic statement. It is just lovely with a cascade of roses in shades from white to a deep rose. These are set off amid stems and leaves of soft greens and earth tone on a background of sponged cream and mauve. Simply stated, it is truly striking!
The edge of the charger is gold and has alternating large and small scallops. The detail is wonderful making the entire piece handsome and very desirable.
The back of the charger bears the mark "Limoges France" in green under the glaze with "Limoges" printed over "France". This mark was used after 1891. This charger is in beautiful condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines. There is one tiny dimple on the face of the charge which was done at the time of manufacturing.
The charger is 13 ½" across X 1 ½" high, circa 1890's – 1900.

It said to drink less than 8 glasses of water a day?
fess up! whether you're using the 80/20 maxim or just ignoring certain ideas, you're bound not to agree with everything on the site or in the book. so what's not working for you?
i'm admittedly new, about 6 weeks in. i love it! but there are two things that i can't quite get down with just yet: intermittent fasting & drinking less than 8 glasses of water a day.
re. intermittent fasting... i tried it, i was hungry, i didn't really see the point. why not just eat? i get hungry three times a day, though i'm not much of a snacker, and i just don't see the point in denying myself, and having tried it, didn't seem to get much benefit either.
re. water... i love drinking water! my natural thirst seems to guide me to drink way more than eight glasses a day. and what's the problem?!?
not to seem ungrateful, let me reiterate that i love this site, the primal blueprint book, and the work that mark has done to spread the lifestyle!

Sprints .... I just can't convince myself to do sprints. Well, except when I'm running to beat a red light.
I'm using the July temperature as an excuse for now ....
My primal journal that I don't update enough:
No sprints for me either. Mostly due to horrible joints. Also, in the summer, I drink ale: yeah, it's like liquid bread and no, I don't care. I like good ale.
Started PB late 2008, lost 50 lbs by late 2009. Have been plateaued, but that thing may just be biting the dust: more on that later.
Heh. I get hungry three times a day, I drink plenty of water, I only sprint incidentally, and I have no plan to give up either my Dr Martens or my heels. I eat carbs, mostly fruit, and rice a couple times a week.

"We have all the food groups- meat and chocolate".
My primal journal that I don't update enough:
I've gone back to eating beans and lentils on the regular, and even prefer them to sweet potato and such. Properly treated, they cause me no distress ("Soaking for 24 hours at room temperature has been shown to remove 66% of the trypsin (protease) inhibitor activity in mung bean, 93% in lentil (this is what I eat most often), 59% in chickpea, and 100% in broad bean." - Tim Ferriss). The protein:carb and fiber:starch/sugar ratio is just too awesome to pass up, and they still have enough glucose to keep the brain happy while being as satiating, if not more so than even the best dense starches.
That said, I'm 21 and strong as an ox. I still wouldn't recommend beans to people with serious health and digestive issues.
I also don't see the point in eating 60% or more calories as fat long term, unless you really enjoy it. I don't. I find a more high-protein, moderate starch, moderate fat, with some occasional low-carb adventures, to be more sustainable. I figure whatever macro ratio is able to keep the pasta & doughnut beast at bay is a good thing.

It happens sometimes. Just get back at it tomorrow.
Just wondering, though--- was there anything in particular that triggered the attack of the M&Ms? When this happenes to me, I try to figure out how I got derailed.
These holiday days are a little daunting. Cookies, candy cakes and pies are everywhere. This was today:
BREAKFAST : 2 eggs, cheese, spinach, 1 cup coffee.
LUNCH : Chicken thigh and drumstick and a small piece of cantaloupe
SNACK : 4 dried apricot halves
DINNER : Big salad with blue cheese, walnuts and 1 cup broiled chicken, glass of wine
THEN : 1/4 cup dark chocolate M&Ms (oh my)
Did the M&Ms cancel out the ketosian progress of the whole day? Just wondering.

It looks to me like there were more good choices than bad-it could have been worse. Consider it your 20%, and fast or HIIT tomorow. I'd say to consider that calorie balance and weight gain are based on intake throughout the week (not just one day), so you can tighten things up for the rest of the week.
KUNO : They were peanut M&Ms too. Living in a NON-PB household with a long tradition of doing sugary things for Christmas means that the house, during these long days leading up to it, is littered with all kinds of holiday heroin. The M&Ms (along with other drugs) were left over from the construction of an incredibly glorious gingerbread house. Why do the house, you may ask? Tradition, I guess. ...that and the redeeming thought that they tend to be inedible after decorating the house for three weeks.
ICE : Someone once said that eating sugar is like dumping a shovel-full of snow on a fire. Maybe it would actually be to my benefit to see that so much good work for 12 hours of the day could be so easily wiped out by one two-minute act... but you're right about not getting discouraged. THAT is the greater poison!
It's not good if you're trying to lose weight. You need to be strict until you hit your target weight.
"Did the M&Ms cancel out the ketosian progress of the whole day? Just wondering."
Insulin cancels ketosis. If it didn't you would die of ketoacidocis. The apricot halves and cantaloupe may have kicked you out of ketosis before that. That being said there is only about 300 calories in 1/4 of m&ms. Don't let 300 Cal get you down. Besides, a little flexibility now and again will help in the long run.
If your goal is ketosis for the sake of ketosis then avoiding all sugars including fruit will help.
Ketosis is not necessary for fat loss and your day as whole (including m&ms) looks pretty good.
I remember reading a great blog entry (can't remember who wrote it) and their point was this - Before you eat anything sugary, ask yourself 'Do I want to stop burning fat for 4 hours?'. Easier said than done, I know. Sometimes asking myself this question before being lured into something tempting works...most of the time!
All this is taking into account your goal is Ketosis.
I grok, therefore I am.
I really wouldn't sweat it. It's the Holidays and traditions play an important role in all of our lives. Maybe just take a break and start being more strict once the holidays pass. I'm not talking about gorging down on cookies and cakes, but don't beat yourself up for couple of little treats either.
By the way, if you're trying to achieve ketosis, you would probably want to eliminate all fruit. The less carbs, the better.
You can also help yourself out by doing an IF for about 15 hours or longer if you can. That should get your insulin back in check again.
I don't think calories in the M&Ms is the real problem here, it's the sugar. None the less, it happens, thus the 80% rule eh? It's the holidays, so don't drive yourself nuts trying to keep within the limits of primal eating. I know I'll be eating a nice non-primal meal with my family. After all, it's about lifestyle changes and being happy, so indulge once in a while, but also know how to keep that from happening often. I'd say try to find some good "desserts" that are much more nutritious, couldn't find almond M&Ms? Haha.
I'm gonna agree with chima on this case...Just because you're not in ketosis doesn't necessarily mean that you've stopped burning fat. Additionally, remember that fruit is also sugar. It's nearly impossible to determine if you're in a state of ketosis or not based on the information provided...The body is a complex thing. Just make sure those M&Ms were damn worth it.

I went to pick up my son at school last night. No, I'm not a horrible mother! It was only 4:30, but in Canada, in December, it's pitch dark at 4:30 and feels like night. The kids were on the playground so I had to wait a few minutes outside for him to gather his things. It was only 0C / 32F, but it was windy and I was freezing!
We are all aware intellectually that there are homeless people and poor people in our neighborhoods but, particularly with the effervescence of the holidays around us, I find that it's easy to put these realities out of our minds.
Last night, I was just struck by how cold and miserable I felt on a rather warm Canadian winter night. I quickly hurried to my warm car, which took me to my warm home where my hot supper was waiting. Today when I went out, I was able to put on a warmer coat, hat and boots. I was freezing for 5 or ten minutes yesterday. What do less fortunate people do when they are cold and hungry all the time?
|Beautiful, but cold, Quebec City!
I certainly don't want to dampen anyone's holiday spirits! I simply wanted to share this revelation with you. The holiday season is about love and giving, but we are so bombarded by the idea that we need more of everything (my children certainly think so!) that we forget to appreciate what we have. The amazing blogger, Sonya of the Kanelstrand blog has two beautiful posts about getting back to the real meaning of the holidays. You can read them here:
I also had another revelation last night (it was some night!). My husband and I watched the end (end because he was channel surfing!) of my favorite Christmas show - A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's a wonderful cartoon and fills me with all kinds of terrific childhood memories. Snoopy was my father's favorite character.
The revelation came at the end when my husband read the copyright date, 1965. Charles Schulz's message was that Christmas had become too commercial (remember Sally asking Santa for 10's and 20's?). It has been 46 years since this show first aired. Are we more, less or just as commercial as people were back then? Does it matter? I think it does. What do you think?
Finally, I must mention wool. You saw part of my stash in yesterday's post. I accept my fiber addiction. That's apparently the first step to recovery!
My resolution, after this night of revelations, is to use up my stash making hats and mittens to give to the less fortunate in my community to help them get through our long Canadian winters, and to help me remember how very lucky I am!

Portage Gazette
PORTAGE -- The Portage Public Schools Board of Education president said he hopes the board will appoint an interim superintendent by June 6.
Kevin Hollenbeck said March 21 he anticipates the board will hire a superintendent-search consultant by April 1, post the position by April 15, narrow the pool of candidates by May 16, and make a decision by June 6. The board is meeting in a retreat Thursday and will "flesh out the details then, " he said.
On March 17, the board voted 6-1 to accept the resignation of Superintendent Marsha Wells and pay her a total of $272,500 to buy out the final year of her contract. Wells will leave June 30, after more than a year of tension between the superintendent and school board.
Some have questioned the board's decision, saying Portage schools cannot afford Wells' separation agreement at a time when the district is anticipating a significant cut in state funding for 2011-12.
Hollenbeck addressed those concerns during the March 21 board meeting and put the buyout in the context of the district's $75 million operating budget and $8 million fund balance.
"The question is: Is this expenditure affordable or not?" he said. "I don't think you can say yes or no."
While it reduces the district's fund balance at a critical time, he said, it is a one-time expense that has little impact on the district's structural budget deficit and is "not going to affect the tough budget decisions we're going to have to make."
During the March 21 board meeting, Wells pledged to ensure a "smooth ending" to the school year and "to continue to do my very best in my time remaining" as superintendent.
"No doubt, the last few weeks have been difficult for the district and the community, " she said.
Two residents addressed the board about the controversy, including Tom Eddy, a former trustee who is a candidate in the May 3 school board election.
Eddy said he was concerned about the "stress and anxiety" created as a result of the controversy and added that he knows of nothing to justify the dismissal of a "highly successful and effective superintendent."
But Mark Comins, a longtime Portage resident and husband of a retired Portage teacher, said the board did the right thing, especially given the budget issues the district faces.
"We need a board and superintendent who are working hand in hand, so it's time for a change, " Comins said.
