CES 2012: Samsung, Google Won't Let go of Failed Chrome OS, Plan New Models

New Series 5 Chromebook and Chromebox to launch in Q2 2012
Chrome OS was a pretty nifty idea.
Unveiled back in November 2009
, Chrome OS was supposed to be Google Inc.'s (
) next greatest thing since sliced bread (or ... er Android, we mean). It was biled as a potential "Windows competitor". Instead it saw
delays bump its full-fledged beta December 2010
, and its
commercial release to May 2011
I. Chrome OS: The Flop
That late start didn't help the fledgling OS make its tough case of selling users on Linux. Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) $430 USD introductory price point for a Wi-Fi Chromebook and $500 USD price point for a 3G Chromebook definitely didn't help either. And the fact that a notebook relies on internet connections for most of what it does couldn't handle authentication tokens properly, making it
impossible to log in
to coffee shops and networks that use webpage-driven authentication? That was
didn't help.
Unsurprisingly the platform was a sales flop, though we'll never know just how bad a flop as Samsung, Google, and the third Chromebook player Acer, Inc. (
) refused to release sales figures. But Google and Samsung are scrapping Chromebooks. Their response to the failure can be summed up by great lyricist David Bazan:
And I humbly acknowledge.. that I won't always get my way.
But darling death... will have to pry my fingers loose... Cause I will not let go of you.
II. Samsung and Google Man the Deck as Chromebook Ship Takes on Water
At the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the pair was back at it again, showing off a pair of Chrome OS devices.
The first is a refreshed Series 5 Chromebook, which still features the same 16 GB of NAND flash storage and 12.1-in. 300 nit screen. The biggest bump is from Atom to a
slightly sportier Core Celeron processor
from Intel Corp. (
). Hopefully this move doesn't backfire in terms of battery life, but only time can tell.

Otherwise the notebook remains practically unchanged, with only a superficial packaging makeover. The new models will continue the slightly reduced most recent pricing of the current Series 5 -- $400 USD for a Wi-Fi only model and $450 USD for a 3G model with service through Verizon Wireless --
Sources were unclear whether the Chromebook refresh would land immediately, though slightly farther out in Q2 2012.
Also slightly farther out in Q2 2012 a "Chromebox" -- a desktop with Chrome OS aboard -- will land courtesy of Samsung. Little is known about the box except for its target price point of $400 USD and its observed ports -- "five USB 2.0 sockets, DVI, DisplayPort and a headphone jack."
[Image Source: Engadget]
Samsung -- perhaps realizing that the device is a weak competitor to HTPCs and Apple, Inc.'s (
) Mac Mini -- hope to peddle the PC to K-12 school buyers on the merits of its small size and low price.
III. Chrome OS: A Puzzling Mess
We had an interesting talk with sources at ARM Holdings plc. (
). ARM suggests that a reason for the flop of Chromebooks is Google, Acer, and Samsung's perplexing lack of an ARM Chromebook. There's no clear reason why this is the case. ARM officials did say that they're still hearing that ARM Chromebooks are in the works, but these sound like they could be several quarters, if not years away.
Aside from the lack of ARM, it's also puzzling why Google would not release a revamped build of the more well-known and respected Android operating system for notebooks. While it's possible Chrome OS may someday merge into the Android tree, for now Chrome OS remains weakened partly because it just isn't a household name.
For better or worse, though, Samsung and Google appear to be sticking to the same stubborn approach with Chromebooks. Let's just hope they fix that authentication flaw.
In related news to Samsung's Chromebook Series 5 unveil, Samsung unveiled
refreshed Windows-based Series 5 and Series 9 notebooks
and significantly higher price points.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

Pumpkin and Coconut Soup
Recipe by CHILI SPICE
This substantial soup is filling, and if served with crusty bread is all you need for a satisfying lunch or dinner. For a first course, serve in small bowls with a spoonful of spicy relish stirred into each portion.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
Very, very different, for the likes of me, anyway, & certainly an interesting eperience! I wasn't able to find dried shrimp (the area, the country, the time of year ~ I don't know!) so I used 4 cooked, diced shrimp & went from there! Also used lemon pepper instead of the usual salt & pepper! For me, an unusual combo of flavors! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 lbs pumpkin (whole)
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 1 small red chile, chopped
- 3 3⁄8 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon dried shrimp
- 5 tablespoons coconut cream
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions See How It's Made
- Halve the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Cut away the skin and dice the flesh.
- Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the mustard seeds until they begin to pop. Stir in the garlic, onion, celery, and chili and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin with the stock and dried shrimp and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes until the ingredients are very tender.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and process till smooth (remember to take out the "blow hole" in the lid and cover with towel when you turn it on or you and your kitchen will be wearing the soup). I like to use my hand-held emulsifier (hand blender).
- Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve Hot, sprinkled with chopped cilantro.

Norfolk & Norwich Festival, 1910
Norfolk & Norwich Festival is one of the oldest surviving arts festivals in the UK. Its origins can be traced back to the founding of the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital in 1772 when a fund-raising concert was held in Norwich Cathedral. This concert became an annual event and in 1788 a four-day Grand Music Festival was mounted, using St Peter Mancroft Church in the morning and St Andrew's Hall in the evening. In 1824 the Norfolk & Norwich Triennial was founded. The Triennial continued for almost one hundred years presenting a programme of concerts in St Andrew's Hall.
Sir Henry Wood took charge of the Festival between 1908 and 1930, broadening the range of orchestral music and persuading many young English composers to perform and conduct their own compositions, including Gustav Holst (Hymn of Jesus) and Ralph Vaughan Williams (A Sea Symphony, Job) among others.
Sir Thomas Beecham was at the helm for the 1936 Festival which featured the world premières of Ralph Vaughan William's Five Tudor Paintings and Benjamin Britten's Our Hunting Fathers.
In 1988 the Festival became an annual event. Over the last thirty years the Festival has enjoyed a period of growth and established itself as one of the UK's largest multiart form festivals. In 2012 National Portfolio Organisation funding status from Arts Council England was secured, enabling the Festival to increase and diversify its international programme as well as its participation and engagement work with local communities.

Images of exhibition courtesy of MADE3
Sydneysiders – if you head down to the HE MADE SHE MADE Gallery on Oxford Street you are sure in for a pleasant surprise! Until the 1st of August the collaborative group of young designers – MADE3 have some of their beautiful design on display.
MADE3 is a collaboration established by furniture designer/makers Andrew Carvolth, Tim Wallace and Bernard Benny. For their "Volume One" exhibition they are joined by Elliot Bastianon, Andrew Watts, Niklavs Rubenis and Allison Jackson – all of whom are graduates/students from the Australian National University School of Art.
(You can find links to all their personal sites on MADE3)
Their purpose is simple:
"To promote contemporary Australian craft, skill and design. We believe in the benefits of good design and the value of locally made objects and furniture."
Take some time to explore their site, project and personal work. I love their "safety in numbers" approach and their work is certainly a slick portfolio of emerging Australian design talent when presented all together!

Brian Grazer & Ron Howard to Crowdfund 'Friday Night Lights' Movie
by Ethan Anderton
May 17, 2013
For those who don't know, Imagine Entertainment is the production company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, and the two have been busy for 26 years at Universal with an exclusive production deal. However, when they renegotiated their deal in 2012, they decided to only make it a first look deal, which has allowed them to take "Arrested Development" to Netflix. Now they might be reviving another TV series, but this time for the big screen. Deadline has word that Grazer has confirmed they Imagine is trying to bring Friday Night Lights to the big screen, and they will use crowdfunding for some of the budget. Read on!
Friday Night Lights actually hit the big screen as a feature film, and that film was used as the inspiration for a TV series which has wowed audiences and critics alike. Many fans have wanted to see the series jump back to the big screen, and now Imagine wants to use the fanbase to help make it a reality. Honestly, it seems a little strange that two entertainment powerhouses like Grazer and Howard can't raise the money themselves without asking fans to pay for it, but it looks like this is a new business model that's here to stay, and people will throw their money at things they really love. Either way, if the fan desire and money is there, it sounds like a Friday Night Lights movie isn't just a dream anymore. Any fans excited?

There's a First in Everything!
Christina and Stephen from Joogo had a fun night out at the night market on 30 May 2014, organised by The Local People and Gushcloud!
For those who bought from us at the night market – thank you and hope you enjoyed the cold-pressed juices!
It was a busy night, endless people were streaming in, and many times, the human traffic jam got super heavy. Thus, we didn't get the chance and time to pop by other stalls to see the cool stuff they were selling. Nevertheless, it was a great first public appearance for Joogo! Oh oh, the night was supposed to last till 2am, but the heavy downpour came at 11+ pm and ended the party early. Thank God we were already left with the last few bottles. ;) Though we were tired and drenched, our spirits were dancing in the rain!
By the way, quite a few asked if the brand is franchised from overseas. And we are proud to say that we are a Product of Singapore lah. :)
Join in the fun, grab our juices and cleanses at www.joogojuice.com and we will deliver to your doorsteps!
Joogo On,

The Hidden Key to Harry Potter [Paperback]
John Granger
Hold on to your Sorting Hat! In Hidden Key to Harry Potter, John Granger (no relation to Hermione) presents his thesis that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books are written from a Christian perspective and belong on the shelf next to C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. While this book would have benefited from better editing, the ideas presented are intriguing and challenge popular assumptions about the Harry Potter series.
From the back cover:
"The Hidden Key demonstrates that all the Potter books teach Christian doctrines - sometimes with subtlety, often baldly - in their plot, imagery, and character development. Lambasted by critics who have not read her books closely or are unfamiliar with traditional Christian literature, Ms. Rowling's genius has been overlooked despite her books' success."

The Hidden Key to Harry Potter
Edenstar Review:
John Granger isn't the first to point out the Christian content of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books. But his reasoning is the most in-depth. He uses a wide range of sources to back up his belief that the books are on an equal footing with Lewis' Narnia series and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. He goes past the obvious similarities and digs deeper to make it clear that the Potter books have a lot of good to offer, and no harm -- except in the eyes of those who are looking for it.
According to HKHP, there is a lot of oblique Christian symbolism in the Potter books. The philosopher's stone (the UK title), red lion, unicorn, phoenix, stag, centaur, and hippogriff have all been used at various times to show different aspects of Jesus Christ. Including Christian themes in literature is a tradition that Ms. Rowling is following. The Greats, from Shakespeare to Tolkien, have all done this. Their books entertained, and they also instructed.
Mr Granger divides his book into four telling parts:
1. "Taking Harry Seriously";
Critical Response to Harry Potter
Harry Potter 101, or the Maps and Influences Chapter
Prejudice in Harry Potter
Death and Bereavement in Harry Potter
2. "The Secret of Harry Potter"
Choice in Harry Potter
Transfiguration, Transformation and Alchemical Transmutations in HP
The Symbolist Outlook
Story and Character Symbolism in Harry Potter
Symbols of Christ in Harry Potter
The Ironic Secret of Harry Potter
3. "The Meaning of Harry Potter: a Book-by-Book Look"
Each chapter gives 15-20 pages to an in-depth analysis of its book. Others deal with the titles.
4."What Will Happen with Harry?"
Mr. Granger speculates about the future of the series, as well as hidden natures of various characters, including the enigmatic Severus Snape.
Mr. Granger presents a persuasive case for Harry as Christlike figure, showing his depth of character as he grows and learns (Luke 2:52 says, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."). His place in the war between good and evil shows he's no ordinary hero, but one with depth and substance beyond the typical adolescent. His sacrifices, his willingness to place life above the law prove this. In the first book he risks his life to save a friend. (John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."). At the end of every book, he is nearly killed, and comes back from near-death to prevail. Sound familiar?
While the editing could be a bit tighter, this book is a solid resource for HP fans who want to defend the books.

What is the temperature of a perfect vacuum?
If temperature is a measure of the average speed of molecules in a material, what is the temperature of a perfect vacuum?
Dave - That is a very good question. It is often not very well defined. For something to have a temperature, it's got to have something in it to measure the temperature of. A perfect vacuum with no atoms, you can't measure the temperature of the atoms. So what's left in the vacuum? Quite often, there's light going through the vacuum, there's photons. I don't know of anywhere in the universe with not many photons there. So, you could try and measure the temperature of the photons. The problem is quite often that photons don't have a well-defined temperature. They're not interacting with each other or averaging out enough. So, sometimes there'd be lots and lots of very high energy photons. There might be a be load of x-ray photons and not very many microwave photons. So, you can do it on the photons, but often, it's not very well defined.

2011 Ford Flex Values
The 2011 Ford Flex continues with minor changes for this year receiving new powertrain options for 2010. Available with a 3.5-liter 262 hp V6 in FWD or AWD or optional 3.5-liter 355 hp Twin-Turbo EcoBoost V6 with AWD, both are linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls and achieve up to 17/24 mpg city/hwy. The 7-passenger family hauler features optional leather seating, rear seat DVD entertainment, automatic park assist, Ford's Sync system, and a blind spot information system. The Flex can be equipped to tow up to 4500 lbs and is becoming a viable alternative to larger SUVs. With upgraded powertrains, ever present comfort and utility, the Ford Flex competes well in the crowded crossover utility segment.Read more Read less
The big news for the 2011 Ford Flex is the addition of a new trim level, called Titanium. It takes over as the new range topping model, adding blackout treatment for headlights and taillights, black chrome grille, moldings and trim, polished aluminum 20-inch wheels, Charcoal black leather seats with Alcantara suede inserts, and four special exterior colors: Red Candy, White Platinum, Tuxedo Black and Ingot Silver with black roof.
New powerful, efficient EcoBoost engine; three rows of seating; distinctive, aggressive styling
The Ford Flex is a crossover vehicle that actually has enough space for seven grownups and their gear -- and a 4500-lb towing capacity. Available all-wheel drive makes it a capable sport truck, though not a full-blown off-roader. The wide stance and aggressive 3-bar grille give the Flex a street-smart presence as well. It's a well-rounded crossover that starts just under $30,000.

I think the best way to describe me is weird. I can always see the beauty around me, I love looking up at the sky and contemplating the vastness, I love board games and spending time with the people I care about. I can tell my life story on a stage but when it comes to sitting one of one and talking about the personal stuff I close up (although I have begun to open up a little).
I am a writer, I love writing Children's Books, novels, Young Adult Fiction and poetry.
I ADORE IMPROV. It is one of the things that makes me who I am ever since I started in first year University. I would love to start an improv club or take part in dramatic productions.
I also started doing stand-up comedy back in London. I want to start doing it again but there are not a lot of spaces for stand-up comedy here.
Making people laugh.
Taking care of people.
Making people feel loved.
Laughing at myself (usually).
Movies: The Ugly Truth, Spiceworld, Disney (almost all of the Fairytales and lame movies).
TV: Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Judging Amy, Law and Order: SVU, Bones (my current addiction) and classic cartoons from the 90's (like Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Rugrats, etc), Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang Theory.
Music: Country mainly but I also like soul, R&B, Pop (P!nk), Old School (Spice Girls, Avril Levigne, Hilary Duff, and any other really lame phenomenom you can think of), and even some of the actual Old School (like bands my father listens to!)
Food: I love sushi, Chinese, Thai, Tacos (and Mexican in general), I love trying new things (I get sick of the usual like pizza if I have it too often)
My Students- I always form a really close attachment to my kids.
My Computer
My iPod
Don't message me if you are looking for sex (sorry to be blunt).


text: I'm making a birthday cake for a friend's upcoming oarty and I wanted to start early on the decorations. I really wanted to make a martini glass (about 6 inches tall or so) to place on top of the cake as one of the decorations. I'm wondering how I should go about making it. The best idea I can come up with is to make it out of gumpaste. I would make 2 separate parts, one being part that holds liquid and the other beint the stem. I was thinking of using an actual martini glass as a mold for the top half and then connecting the two pieces to form the glass. Any suggestions or better ways of going about this?

Do you wear shorts or spandex underneath?
Most Helpful Girl
Because of the risk of rape, upskirting via wind or people, and those sickos who take pictures up girls skirts. There is also the misconception that a skirt (especially a short one) is slutty and bodes as a ticket for harassment, so I myself also wear spandex shorts under my skirt for these reasons. Plus, it's more comfortable than a tiny g string.10|10|0
What about perverts that just look up skirts and dresses?

Cirrus Des Aigles remains top of the leader board in this year's Cartier Horse of the Year but, as he and France's other top Flat horse Treve sit out the summer months with injuries, a major threat to his early season domination has emerged in the shape of the outstanding Kingman.
John Gosden's colt impressed with the devastating style in which he reversed the Newmarket Guineas form with Night of Thunder in the St James's Palace Stakes which was one of the highlights of Royal Ascot week.
Added to the points he has gained for winning the Greenham Stakes at Newbury, where he first demonstrated his turn of foot, and Irish Guineas and finishing second at Newmarket, Kingman has now opened up a healthy lead in the Cartier Three-year-old colts' category.
Having not fired in the 1,000 Guineas his female counterpart, Rizeena, who took the Coronation Stakes, is still someway off the pace in the three-year-old fillies' category. That is headed by Avenir Certain, Jean-Calude Rouget's unbeaten filly who went from winning a conditions race on the all-weather to winning the French 1000 Guineas (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches) followed by the French Oaks (Prix de Diane) the weekend before Ascot.
Zarkava, a previous Cartier Horse of the Year, also completed the French Guineas-Oaks double before going on to win the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe. One imagines, having appeared to get 11 furlongs very comfortably at Chantilly, that Avenir Certain will be heading in the direction of the Arc herself.
More often than not the Ascot Gold Cup winner turns out to win the Cartier Stayer. Aidan O'Brien's Leading Light is in a good spot at the head of that group while, at the other end of the distance spectrum, the Power family's pair Sole Power and Slade Power, both trained by Eddie Lynham, share the lead in the Sprinter category after their respective wins in the King's Stand and Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

I've been talking to this girl for about a week. As it turns out, she has only been broken up with her boyfriend for two weeks, maybe three. He left her for his ex, and tried getting back with her but she said she didn't want to be with him. They were together for 4 months. She still talks to him and he is still on her facebook, their pictures together are still on there as well(another ex of hers is on there though too). She said if he wanted to be friends after he gets back in the fall then they could.
I want to know whether or not I should pursue her. All opinions welcome.

Longhorns Hand Wildcats First Home Loss
Longhorns Hand Wildcats First Home Loss
Feb. 9, 2011
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
MANHATTAN, Kan. – An onslaught of 3-pointers by the Texas Longhorns and a cold streak of their own prevented the Kansas State Wildcats from getting win No. 799 on Wednesday night in Bramlage Coliseum, as Texas won 69-59. Texas shot an impressive 55.6 percent on 10-of-18 from beyond the arc to hand K-State its first loss at home this season while the Wildcats hit on just 5-of-20 from deep.
The Wildcats could not find a way to slow the Longhorns on the perimeter with Chassidy Fussell hitting on 4-of-7 and Yvonne Anderson making 3-of-4 from 3-point range. The 10 connections from beyond the arc by Texas were the most allowed by K-State this season and the most by a Wildcat opponent since Iowa State made 12 on March 12, 2008. Texas (16-6, 5-4) used its range to build a 16-point lead with just under eight minutes to play in the contest. Texas also was able to take advantage of turnovers better than K-State.
K-State (16-6, 6-3) had fewer turnovers than Texas winning that battle, 15-19, but the Longhorns converted the mistakes into more points. The Wildcats scored 13 points off turnovers compared to the 18 by Texas.
In the second half, K-State chipped away at the lead only to see the Longhorns respond. The Wildcats cut the lead to single digits on multiple occasions, but Texas scored to again put the game out of reach thanks to clutch shooting down the stretch.
The Wildcats were led by Jalana Childs with 17 points posting double digits in scoring for the fourth consecutive game. She also pulled down five rebounds to lead the team and came up with three steals on the defensive end. Brittany Chambers and Taelor Karr joined Childs in double figures scoring 14 and 11, respectively.
K-State returns to action on Sunday when the Wildcats travel to take on No. 20 Iowa State in Ames. Tip is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN2 for a nationally televised contest from Hilton Coliseum.

Frito Casserole
Recipe by ratherbeswimmin
A favorite of my kids and my nieces and nephews.
Top Review by Julie T.
Yum! I followed the recipe except I didn't bake it. After reading some of the reviews, I didn't want to bake the Fritos as some said the Fritos weren't so good in leftovers. Instead I finished it by leaving it in the skillet, topping with the cheese and covering to melt the cheese. So no heating the oven in the summer heat! Topped each serving with crumpled Fritos, lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, salsa and sour cream. I think this would make an excellent party dip too.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/2/2013 (1636 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE battle for personal information is shifting to cellphones.
SMS phishing, or SmiShing, is a form of fraud where people try to get personal information through text messages, said Scott Gamble, vice-president of account recovery and fraud management at TD Canada Trust. That personal information is then used to commit fraud, he said.
"The text message may ask you to click on a (link), which will direct you to a website and then ask you to confirm some personal or financial information. Things such as credit card, debit-card number, the CVV code on the back of your card, basically anything they can get their hands on," Gamble said.
Sometimes, the message may ask people to call a toll-free number that sends them to an automated system, he said.
"That 1-866 number is the fraudster trying to glean information," Gamble said.
People may not know they are being defrauded when they follow those links, said Dave Mason, a professor of computer science at Ryerson University. When a link is clicked, what usually follows is what appears to be a normal login page for a bank.
"If they're very clever, they can make it so that when you enter your information, it looks like you're logged into the bank and you can see your account and everything else but in the process they've gathered your account password information," Mason said.
The fraud may also extend beyond SMS to things such as social-media sites. Gamble said those trying to commit fraud will build up profiles from any information they can get.
"They might use texting to try to get some information like your social security number, or a piece of your banking information, and they use that maybe in addition to try to find you on Facebook to build a profile. And then they try to maybe access a bank account," Gamble said.
A recent poll by TD Canada Trust found nine per cent of people asked admitted to sharing their credit-card number or other information via SMS. Though the number isn't huge, Gamble said it's still early days, and the risk will increase as more and more people take their banking to their smartphones.
The risk is also higher right now because people still trust their text messages, Gamble said.
"Early on with text messaging, the only people who would text you are your friends or the people you know. Because of that, people would be more confident who would be texting them," Gamble said.
To be safe, Gamble said, people can assume a text message asking for any information should be judged as suspicious.
"Your Canadian bank will not text you and ask for personal information," he said.
Gone phishing
TIPS on how to avoid falling victim to SMS phishing:
Never disclose personal information via text. Even when a message looks legitimate, it's better to follow up on it in person, said Dave Mason, a professor of computer science at Ryerson University. "I got one the other day that is actually, as far as I can tell, legitimate, from a bank offering to increase my credit limit. I don't plan to follow the link that it gave; I plan to call the bank and see if that's really the case," Mason said.
Be careful on mobile web browsers. Often, the small resolution and different layout makes spotting fake sites harder, said Scott Gamble, vice-president of account recovery and fraud management at TD Canada Trust. "You'll notice sometimes when you click on those links, and have a look at the URL when you're into the website, it's not the website you think you're in," Gamble said.
Only download software from well-known developers. What looks like a banking app may be fake. Some stores let users see how many times an app has been downloaded. Those with many downloads are usually safer. People should never download apps when prompted through text messages, Gamble said. "They might ask you to download something and by doing that they access information," he said.
Monitor your bank account and let your bank know if you think you're a victim of fraud. People should also let their banks know if they receive text messages they think may be fake, Gamble said. "Even if you get a suspicious text or email, and it might say TD Bank or Royal Bank on it, let your bank know that you received that. That helps us shut these guys down," he said.

OGA Golf Course, Where Golf isn't just a Game, It's a way of Life
The home course of the Oregon Golf Association, this excellent Bill Robinson design in Woodburn, OR. opened in 1993. The golf course stretches through the beautiful community of Tukwila and weaves through natural marsh lands, rolling hills, sleek valleys, and a serene hazelnut orchard. Encompassing all these environments in one golf outing allows for a new and enjoyable experience every time you step foot on the links.
Perhaps the most enjoyable feature of the OGA Golf Course is its playability for golfers of all levels. The golf course offers four different sets of tees that can play long and difficult from its longest distance of 6,565 yards for the advanced golfer all the way down to 5,398 yards from the forward tees. We've also incorporated a set of Family Tees for beginning golfers that stretches 3,207 yards over 18-holes. Noted for its creativity, lush fairways, and beautifully conditioned putting surfaces, the OGA Golf Course has established itself as "The Home of Amateur Golf in Oregon".
Woodburn has a gem of a golf course! Excellent layout, facilities and restaurant. Pretty much all you could ask for in a golf course.
OGA is a wonderful course if you enjoy a leisurely golf experience. On the edge of Woodburn, in the Willamette Valley, the course is extremely well groomed, and challenging. The prices are reasonable, and special rates for low use times make it a bargain. In addition, there are discounts for seniors. Because it is a bit further from the large population centers of Portland and Salem, it is sort of an undiscovered gem.
Fairly easy walking course. Course has large greens, several blind shots and a variety of tee boxes to play from. Overall recommend for an enjoyable round of golf.

You Deserve to Have the Cheapest Car Insurance
Currently, excessive rise in commodity prices and it seems that the money becomes worthless. Moreover, with the adjustment of gasoline price, purchase cars, the price of petrol is also a factor should be considered. Actually, if you have a car, so you need to purchase the car insurance because it is compulsory. In order to purchase the cheapest car insurance, the following tips you need to focus on.
Different companies have different quotes, so you have to shop around at least three to four price quotes. You will discover that there are several websites out there that can save you the time from doing this the slow and hard way because they will often get you quotes from up to a dozen companies all at once. You can directly access information on the Internet. What is more, your state insurance department may also provide comparisons of prices charged by major insurers.
Large companies are not always the best. There are several low cost automobile insurance companies offering competitive rates in relation to the big names out there which makes it possible to save a bundle on this expense. Many people seem to ignore this cost and tend to accept the burden of expensive insurance even when monthly payments almost match a car payment.
It is one of the best ways to get the cheapest car insurance to use a service that forces insurance agents and brokers to compete against one another. As soon as you complete your online quote request, many agents will contact you. But it is important that do not sign up with any one of them immediately, on the contrary, let them know that you are awaiting calls from other local insurance providers. And then, if you really want to get the cheapest car insurance possible, tell the agents that you are ready to purchase within the next 24 hours with whichever company offers you the lowest insurance rates.Of course, be sure to carry through on your promise. In fact, car insurance includes the whole insurance package so if you purchase it, the agents may give you a discount.
Last but not the least, keeps it in mind that the more info you provide, the more accurate your quotes will be. It is more likely the insurance companies will be responsive to your inquiry. In a word, you deserve to have the cheapest car insurance.

Organic vs. Conventional Sweet Potatoes
By Will Wollett
The sweet potato is a warm-season, spreading vegetable of tropical origin. It is a good choice for a home garden or a bigger farmer because it is easy to grow, is drought- / heat-tolerant, and has few pests or diseases. The sweet potato is also very nutritious, low in calories, and can be found in local markets year-round although they are in season in November-December.
Since 1971, North Carolina has ranked as the No. 1 sweet potato producing state in the U.S. It's hot, moist climate and rich, fertile soil are ideal for cultivating sweet potatoes, averaging at nearly 50% of the U.S. supply. Where I live I am surrounded by N.C.'s top sweet potato producing counties, Wilson, Johnston, Edgecombe and Nash which help account for about half of the state's supply. Another fact about the sweet potato I bet you didn't know is North Carolina designated the sweet potato as the official State vegetable in 1995.
Every fall once we have finished harvesting the potatoes we plant a cover crop in all our fields. We do this because with our farm being organic the cover crop acts as our nitrogen source for the next season. We plant Rye and Vetch as our cover crop. We do this so that the Vetch will climb the Rye stem which makes the vetch grow faster and easier. As shown in the picture above, disking the cover crops is our first step in preparing the soil.
Once the cover crops are disked in, we will bed the soil into rows, we do everything with a 2 row bedder, setter, and plow.
Sweet potato sprouts are planted 9 to 10 inches apart in the center of the ridge row and at a depth of 3 inches with at least 2 plant nodes underground and 2 or more leaves above ground. The sprouts are watered well immediately after transplanting
Cultivate as many times as you can with a rolling cultivator. You can not spray anything on the crops that are organic, so cultivation is important for weed control. With conventional potatoes, you can plow 2-3 times a season to apply fertilizer and to control emerged weeds. Cultivator gangs are set to throw dirt on the sides of the ridge . After sweet potato vines have grown down the sides of the ridge you can turn the tines up so that you can still plow the middle of the row. If the runners are cut from the plant it's not a big deal. It will shock the plant and will make it grow at a faster rate to replace the cut vines.
This is the plow that all of your big farmers use. It is a simple two row plow that turns the row over and lays the potatoes on top of the soil. It is fast but it does cut a lot of the potatoes up if not deep enough in the ground, but if you go to deep you will then cover the potatoes up. This year we found a potato digger that is two row. There are two chains that will carry the potato up out of the soil and then lay it back down on the ground.
Sweet potato roots are harvested 90-120 days after transplanting or immediately after a frost has blackened the tops of the plants. Sweet potatoes are very susceptible to damage at harvest; therefore, hand-harvest is preferred over mechanical harvesting.
The trucks drive through the field beside the workers. The workers hand the buckets to a man on the truck who empties them into a 4 bushel box. Once they are loaded as this one is, they head to the buyer.

Google Nexus 6 vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus
The Nexus 6 is far sturdier and more attractive than most other Nexus phones, but it still lacks the meticulous, premium finish of the iPhone 6 Plus.
We applaud the Nexus 6 for the sturdier construction and more appealing design it has over the Nexus phones of previous years, but in comparing it to the iPhone 6 Plus, it can't quite match its premium finish. It's simply plastic versus metal here, as the iPhone 6 Plus' aluminum body exudes the more luxurious feel. However, when it comes to drops, we feel that the Nexus 6 would fare better – especially if these guys are impacting concrete or something hard. We already know that the iPhone 6 Plus is a handful to operate, but the Nexus 6 is bigger in every way – it's wider, taller, thicker, and heavier.
Due to the premium finish of the iPhone 6 Plus, its power button and volume controls feel more solid – whereas the Nexus 6's set are thin and less distinct. Over on the Nexus 6, we really appreciate that it features dual front-firing speakers, which are more ideal because they disperse audio towards us. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 Plus differentiates itself by incorporating a Touch ID finger print sensor into its home button. Honestly, it's a special amenity that has its usefulness in securing the device and making payments via Apple Pay.

Google Nexus 6
158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm
6.07 oz (172 g)
Apple iPhone 6 Plus
The Nexus 6 is impressive for its quad-HD resolution, but the iPhone 6 Plus has a brighter and more color accurate screen.
Despite its amazing quad-HD resolution, the Nexus 6's display lacks the same polished qualities we see in the iPhone 6 Plus' Retina Display. For starters, visibility isn't an issue with the iPhone 6 Plus because its screen emits a blinding 575 nits of brightness – far more potent than the 270 nit brightness of the Nexus 6. In addition, colors are more accurately reproduced on the iPhone 6 Plus. In contrast, the Nexus 6's display exhibits excessively saturated colors. Those do look nice and jolly, but we tend to value accuracy more.
Overall, it's a tough call which one comes off as more appealing. Of course, the Nexus 6 excels in the resolution department, but we can't forget how the iPhone 6 Plus comes to the table with better visibility and precise colors.
Display measurements and quality
The CIE 1931 xy color gamut chart represents the set (area) of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace (the highlighted triangle) serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements. Ideally, each dot should be positioned on top of its respective square. The 'x: CIE31' and 'y: CIE31' values in the table below the chart indicate the position of each measurement on the chart. 'Y' shows the luminance (in nits) of each measured color, while 'Target Y' is the desired luminance level for that color. Finally, 'ΔE 2000' is the Delta E value of the measured color. Delta E values of below 2 are ideal.
These measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Color accuracy chart gives an idea of how close a display's measured colors are to their referential values. The first line holds the measured (actual) colors, while the second line holds the reference (target) colors. The closer the actual colors are to the target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Grayscale accuracy chart shows whether a display has a correct white balance (balance between red, green and blue) across different levels of grey (from dark to bright). The closer the Actual colors are to the Target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.

What do you expect from an iFan....?
6. TimCook (banned) (Posts: 450; Member since: 23 Oct 2014)
The IPhone 6 is the largest selling smartphone in the world
So I don't know why you are so surprised
8. tech2 (Posts: 3487; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Can you explain that logic please ? If highest selling it your criteria of 'top' then Nokia 1100 is the best phone in the world right now. It sold 250 million units, more then any iPhone, Note or Galaxy !
Highest selling doesn't mean best. The very word 'phablet' was introduced by Note.
12. nctx77 (Posts: 2403; Member since: 03 Sep 2013)
Ok. So, let's talk about market share.....
24. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
how many Android phones to the few iPhones again?
Oh, yeah.
One iPhone to any one other smartphone. Guess which will sell better?
14. TimCook (banned) (Posts: 450; Member since: 23 Oct 2014)
First of the Nokia 1100 is a phone not a smartphone, I said the iPhone 6 is the largest selling smartphone.
Some devices sell well because they are affordable, example Moto G.
But the IPhone 6 is one of the most expensive smartphones in the market but people still buy it. They buy it for a reason, because is the Best
46. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Because it is most popular not the best (still a great product indeed)
59. shalinsaini29 (Posts: 5; Member since: 14 Nov 2014)
Note 3 alone sold more than 15 million
15. bucky (Posts: 3138; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
The word yes but the first phablet came from dell
16. Sauce2 (banned) (Posts: 199; Member since: 21 Oct 2014)
Back then, when it sold, it was. He also said Smartphone.
26. darkkjedii (Posts: 25042; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Yeah, but the device was introduced by Dell.
47. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
And there is Nokia's 5230 or something sone similar named smartphone sold alot too.
17. BLUEBLASTER (Posts: 413; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)
How much has the 6 Plus sold?
23. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
More than the Note 4 and Nexus combined will ever sell.
45. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Please provide a link (not arguing but just curious).
28. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4786; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
And the Ford Fiesta is the highest selling car in the world. So that means it's the greatest as well right?
31. vincelongman (Posts: 5081; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
I thought the Toyota Corolla was the highest selling car in the world
But anyway your point still stands
34. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
The difference is, the Ford car is a value car, So poor people get it. The iPhone sells more, despite its premium price point.
Why? Because it's just that much better than Android.
43. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Better for you but not for everyone.
52. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Better for people who want their phones to not lag.
30. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
Selling the most doesn't make it the best. It makes it the most popular. But popular doesn't equate to best. By your definition, Rolls Royce and Bently are not the best in luxury vehicles because they don't sell as well as a BMW.

37. HildyJ (Posts: 307; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
I'll make you a deal. I'll concede that the iPhone 6 is better if you'll concede that Android and Windows are vastly superior operating systems to iOS and OSX and that a Dell Latitude computer is much better than MacBook Air. After all, sales prove it.
41. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
We are talking about 6+ not 6. Sales number doesn't define anything. What happens when there is alot of die hard fans who buys anything their favourite companies produce?(though apple make good products but not the best)
3. buccob (Posts: 2740; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
not in the right order...

Not a bad order lol. With the S-Pen I have to put the Note 1.
40. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1526; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
No matter what, iPhone plus cant beat note 4. It is just enlarged iPhone 6 .it doesn't have anything special from iPh6 (special phablet features). Note 4 is not an enlarged version of s5. There is no phablet In the market that can beat note 4 (my opinion). IPhone 6+ may be best for you because you prefer iOS or Apple products. But saying iph6+ better because it sells more is kinda stupid. It is better for you to say "the top 3 phablets at the moment 'in my opinion' are" because its just your opinion. I'm not a fan of anything I don't even use android at the moment(using WP now) but I still consider note series best in phablets because its different from other phablets and I love innovative techs.

17-year-old girl involved in rollercoaster crash has her leg amputated
The family of a 17-year-old girl injured in a rollercoaster crash at Alton Towers have thanked medics for saving her life after she was forced to have one of her legs amputated.
Leah Washington was one of four people seriously hurt last week when two carriages collided on the Smiler ride.
Doctors have confirmed that the teenager, from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, has had her left leg amputated above the knee and suffered a fractured hand in the incident.
Leah's boyfriend, 18-year-old Joe Pugh, was treated for two broken knees and extensive hand injuries, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust said.
Alton Towers, which opened today for the first time since Tuesday's crash, said it was "deeply saddened" by news of Leah's injuries and insisted it would provide "full support" for all 16 people who were hurt.
In a statement issued by the hospital, Leah's father David Washington said: "We would like to thank our family and friends and all the well-wishers for their support.
"Leah has suffered a life-changing injury and now has many months of rehabilitation ahead of her.
"We have done this to put people's minds at rest and we would also ask everyone to respect Leah's privacy as she undergoes this rehabilitation.
"We would like to thank all the emergency services at the scene and all the hospital staff who saved Leah's life."
Leah, her boyfriend Mr Pugh, 27-year-old old hotel assistant manager Daniel Thorpe from Buxton in Derbyshire, and 20-year-old Vicky Balch, from Leyland in Lancashire, have been described as the most seriously injured.
Ms Balch suffered potentially life-changing injuries in the crash, and is expected to make a "substantial claim for damages" to support her recovery, her solicitor said last week.
The four are being treated at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and the University Hospital Coventry.
A spokesman for the University Hospital Coventry declined to comment on Mr Thorpe's condition, while Ms Balch's solicitor said there was no update on her recovery.
Mr Pugh's father Simon said: "I would like to thank our friends and family for their support.
"We would also like to thank the staff at the hospital who have been very accommodating, have been lovely to us and have protected our privacy.
"We would ask people to respect Joe's privacy now and over the weeks and months ahead."
An Alton Towers spokeswoman said: "We are deeply saddened by Leah's news, and all our thoughts are with her and her family.
"We have made contact with all the families and have assured them that we will provide full support to all of those involved now, and throughout their recovery and rehabilitation."
Witnesses reported that people on the ride spent around four hours waiting to be rescued as emergency crews were faced with the delicate task of safely reaching the bloodied passengers, stranded 25ft in the air at an angle of about 45 degrees.
One man who was on the ride when it crashed described the moment he "held on for dear life" as the carriages collided, before he saw blood dripping from an injured woman in front of him.
The man, who gave his name only as Oli, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, told Heart North West radio station: "A lot of people were coming to the side of the barrier and the people in front were screaming 'Get some help, get some help'.
"There was a lot of blood coming from the carriage in front. It was dripping all over the floor. There was quite a lot of blood coming from them.
"I thought (it was) the guy in front of me. I saw at some point he had cut his face, but it was actually coming from the girl next to him who had the severely-damaged leg."
The X-Sector of Alton Towers - which houses The Smiler - will remain closed until further notice to allow the Health and Safety Executive access to the ride for investigations.
The Spinball ride will also be closed at the Staffordshire theme park until enhanced safety protocols have been implemented, but Merlin Entertainments said this would take slightly longer than it had hoped due to the design of the ride.
Three rides at other Merlin Entertainments parks, Thorpe Park, and Chessington World of Adventures - both in Surrey - will also remain closed until new safety protocols can be implemented. But these are expected to reopen soon.
Merlin is thought to have racked up losses of around £500,000 a day since the incident and it has also faced accusations that staff dithered for 10 minutes before making the first 999 call, despite screams of distress from bloodied passengers on board The Smiler.
Nick Varney, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments, said the incident was a "terrible event" for everyone involved.
He said: "We are very aware of the impact it will have on those involved and we are doing all we can to provide our support to those injured and their families."
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has removed the carriages involved in the crash and taken them to the Health and Safety Laboratory in Buxton for further analysis.
Another passenger on the ride reportedly had surgery to her stomach after suffering internal bleeding in the crash.
Chanda Singh, 49, from Wednesbury, West Midlands, was sitting in the second row of The Smiler with her daughters Meera, 26, and Vanisha, 29, the BBC said.
Meera told the BBC that the family returned home in a taxi after the crash before going to Manor Hospital in Walsall, where her mother had surgery to her stomach and is receiving treatment for a damaged liver and blood clots.

Total has signed an agreement to sell 20% of its interests in the Laggan, Tormore, Edradour and Glenlivet fields, located in the West of Shetland area, to SSE E&P UK Limited Ltd for £565 million (around $876 million), subject to the customary approvals.
'The sale of these minority interests is aligned with Total's portfolio management strategy and target of divesting $5 billion of assets in 2015. It allows us to capitalize fully on this new deep offshore development, while retaining a majority interest and operatorship,' commented Arnaud Breuillac, President, Exploration & Production. 'With the upcoming start-up of Laggan, followed by Tormore, Edradour and Glenlivet in the coming years, Total is opening up a new frontier area for gas production in the United Kingdom.'
Following completion of the transaction, Total will hold a 60% operated interest in the Laggan, Tormore, Edradour and Glenlivet fields, alongside partners DONG E&P (UK) Limited (20%) and SSE E&P UK Limited (20%). The sale also includes 20% of Total's interest in the Shetland Gas Plant and interests in several exploration licenses located in the West of Shetland area, including the Tobermory discovery.

Radhika Apte was in news somedays back after a clip went viral in which the actress is seen making a dare-to-bare act for a short film.
Although, Radhika kept mum on the controversy, director Anurag Kashyap clarified the issue and now Shweta Basu Prasad also came up in her defence.
The leaked video clip was apparently a part of a short film directed by Anurag Kashyap for an international audience and the director expressed strong displeasure at the clip being leaked.
Now, Shweta Basu Prasad who sometimes back was also in news in regard to a sex scandal, has spoken up on Radhika Apte's leaked clip.
Shweta Basu stated that she was with Radhika Apte when the scene was being shot and asserted that the scene has nothing sexual and was shot with utmost cautiousness.
"I was there when it was shot. I assisted Anurag on this film and I am very proud of it. The nude shot was done so carefully. It was asexual, innocent and beautiful. It is completely stripped of a sexual content," said Shweta Basu Prasad.
Shweta also praised both the director and the actress for shooting the sequence. "Anurag made sure that there was no except two women, one of them being me, on the sets. Anurag has a daughter and he is deeply sensitive to issues regarding the violation of a woman's private space. I salute him for shooting the sequence so sensitively and I salute Radhika for doing what she did. It was shameful to tear it out of context and use it for titillation," added Shweta.

Project information
DOUBLE your donation until Sunday 14th December
MyBnk will deliver MONEY TWIST, a high-energy financial programme to young people. Every £20, doubled to £40, will equip 2 young people with real life money skills, including budgeting & saving, busting banking jargon, planning for their future financial needs, and avoiding unsustainable debt.
Please donate as soon after 10am as possible, as daily match funding is limited.
Charity information: MyBnk
UK personal debt is at a record £1.4 trillion, around £9,000 per person; this is hardly surprising given that 90% of the UK population have never received any form of money management lessons.
Young people are not being taught the money skills needed in life, leaving them financially excluded and in debt. Half of 17 year olds are or have been in debt, and over a quarter of the UK population have no savings at all.
MyBnk will deliver its award-winning Money Twist programme, covering practical and everyday financial matters.
By creating a financially literate generation who are able to budget, break down jargon and assess risk, we will empower young people to take control of their finances, therefore reducing the risk of young people falling into the trap of unsustainable debt and a life of poverty.
Aim 1
To increase young people's financial capability and help them plan for their future financial needs.
Activities» Hands on activities including setting a weekly budget, prioritising needs vs wants, debating government expenditure and building their own bank.
Success will be measured through monitoring and evaluating the programme's outcomes and feedback from young people themselves.
Developing financial capability skills early in life will help young people to develop the confidence necessary to make informed financial decisions, and create an understanding of how the decisions they make around money will affect their futures. Through this project, MyBnk will work to equip young people with the necessary skills to deal with their personal finances effectively, and help them to avoid falling into debt or becoming financially excluded.
There is a risk that young people will not be engaged in a subject that they see as dry and dull. Our programme has therefore been co-created with young people to ensure that it is relevant and engaging to their peers. They advise us on the content of our programmes, visual design of our materials, and the delivery style of our trainers.
Donors to this project will receive a quarterly update outlining the positive impact of our work, including feedback from the young people themselves.
Budget - Project Cost: £40,000Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £40,000 Money Twist programme Doubled to £80,000, this will allow us to reach 4,000 young people
Money Twist will be delivered in schools, colleges and youth organisations across England.
Young people between the ages of 11-18 will benefit specifically from this project.
The need for financial education is universal. MyBnk is inclusive of all young people, but it is imperative that we also deliver to 'harder to reach' young people. Where possible, we therefore map delivery to 'relatively deprived' schools with a high percentage of free school meals.
Why Us?
Why Us?
We have a team of highly trained, specialist education officers who bring energy and excitement to financial education. They work with participants using games, videos, and examples drawn from their own experience and popular culture. Each education officer follows MyBnk's SUPER methodology which ensures delivery is always Specialist, Unique, Participatory, Effective and Relevant. We take a holistic approach to education, catering for audio, visual and kinaesthetic learners.

The MyBnk Education Team
The team will bring their passion, energy and experience, engaging and inspiring young people from all walks of life.
"MyBnk opens your eyes to what you are doing wrong with money. I'd be lost if I'd missed this."

Found our cute little cottage in Estes Park, Colorado
Today we drove 7.5 hours and Autumn took a four hour nap, Nathan took ZILCH. But, both were really well behaved as we drove through boring, boring Kansas. However, we did spot some BEAUTIFUL sunflower fields!
On one point of the drive we saw HUNDREDS of wind turbines... it was pretty neat, much more interesting than corn. I started reading Pillars of the Earth and WOW I am really into it... although, I had a hard time dealing with what happened in Chapter One... it was a little hard for me to accept what he did. Those of you that have read it, I am sure you know which part I am talking about...
Those of you from Saint Louis know we have highway 270, well there is one in Kansas, too(I think we were still in Kansas at that point)!
Finally, after driving through Boulder and the mountains (Nathan was ever so fascinated!) we arrived at River Rock Cottages. WOW, what a GREAT kid friendly place... I found it on Trip Advisor, it had really good reviews!
We are staying at the Fern Lake Cottage.
Here is the courtyard that faces the back of all of the cottages
Harold decided to sit out on the front porch, he is on the look out for those 'bad bears'
The inside of the cottage is really roomy and we have two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and of course the bathroom! The living room even had games... Nathan thinks he is a pro chess player.
The kitchen, they even have kids plates and cups in the cabinet below... See, very kid friendly!
In the courtyard, Nathan found a tricycle and Autumn found a ride on toy, too! They had the funnest time rolling down the pathways. It was great for them, after being couped up in the car for so long. The weather is beautiful here, nice and cool and NO humidity!
Nathan on his tricycle
Autumn on hers
Another cute picture of Autumn walking towards me
Poor Auttie scratched her knee up while trying to get on Nathan's tricycle. Poor girl! She didn't fuss at all, was right up again to play!
Me and the kids
After the kids burned off enough steam on the tricycles, we headed over to Estes Park Pie and ordered a couple of pies to go. Yum! Then, we were going to eat at Mama Rose's, but Autumn would not cooperate... so we left and got hot dogs and icecream at Dairy Queen. It was past her bed time. We are going to get Mama Rose's carry out tomorrow night for dinner, since its overly crowded and we really liked their menu.
Look at these cupcake cakes I saw behind the glass in Estes Park Pie
Jeremi and Nathan got strawberry peach pie
Me and Miss Auttie got apple pie. Yum!

Natasha Poly: Vogue Paris covers were astounding
Fashion star Natasha Poly's proudest moment is scoring back-to-back Vogue Paris covers.
The Russian model is a firm favourite in the industry, with Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci previously claiming it was him who organised her to come to Italy to launch her career. The designer may have had a hand in fast tracking her to the big time, but there are other stars who Natasha is thankful for as well.
"In 2004 I did two consecutive Vogue Paris covers with Carine Roitfeld, which had never been done before," she told Hello! Fashion Monthly. "At the time it was still all about 'the supers' and everyone was like, 'Who is this young girl?' That was an amazing start for me but having Mario Testino shoot a portrait of me and my daughter is probably the highlight of my life."
Natasha has two-year-old daughter Aleksandra with her husband Peter Bakker and juggling motherhood with her career is a work in process. She is constantly jetting around the globe for shoots, so has created some rules to ensure she doesn't miss out on any major moments with her little girl.
"I can't count how many flights I've taken this year, but I try to take my daughter with me when I can - and I always come home after spending three days away, that's my rule," she said. "I'm lucky to have a nanny - without her I wouldn't survive."
Being in the air so much can play havoc with the 30-year-old star's skin too. She has a set of products she relies on to keep her looking her best, and that includes ditching the super blonde hair with black roots she was once known for. As much as she loves that vibe, Natasha believes her current honey shade is more flattering these days.
"I try to keep (my skin) as clean as possible," she added. "Before bed I use a Clarisonic to buff away deal cells and cleanse my pores. Then I apply L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil to tone and soften my skin. I also use this oil to massage around my eyes, sometimes for half an hour, when I need to look wide awake after only a few hours sleep."
