JR Rail Pass, Tottotori Stn, Koge Stn, Kyoto Stn, Green Car
Just returned from Tottori, and on the way back I was charged an additional fee. Note it was 'on the spot'
The trip was
My question is why the charge? I went to the JR ticket office after and could not get an explanation.
How can I find out if this was an error? I received my tickets from the JR Ticket office, clearly showing my JR Pass
Note all the stations have "JR" on them. And the train used was the Super Hakuto type train
So I guess my basic questions are:
I can see how that this additional fee towards Tottori can really add up in costs for a group, especially if one is charged both ways, I can see it factoring in a decision on which places to visit, based on JR rail pass..
So if one can help sort that out, it would be great
Hi Keeper,
I'm really sorry to hear about this.
The Super Hakuto does pass through some non-JR tracks between Chizu and Kamigori. This would be on Chizu Express rail lines - and may be printed on a receipt you have received. I'm not sure why you were not charged this on the way there (perhaps you travelled to Tottori via a different route?). I believe the charge for this stretch of non-JR rail is also around ¥1800. This fee would need to be paid no matter which car was used as it is a non-JR charge for using that stretch of rail so cannot be covered by JR and the JR Pass.
The JR ticket officer should have alerted you to this charge before you set out as there are ways to get to Kyoto from Koge/Tottori that do not involve the use of the Super Hakuto between Chizu and Kamigori. It could be that the JR staff simply printed the ticket that the computer recommended (usually this is the case as for fee paying customers they expect to be charged anyway). Please accept my apologies for this. There are 2 good ways of getting back from Koge for JR Pass holders:
I'm very sorry you ran into this and hope it doesn't affect your holiday!

You were designed by God to live in community with God's people - the local church family. And that's exactly what First Baptist Jacksonville is intended to be - your spiritual family. A healthy family has common beliefs, purposes and commitments. That's why at FBCjax we want to share with you what we believe and where we're going as a Christ-focused community of faith.
As Christians, we are members of God's household, his family, (Ephesians 2:19) called to function, participate, and minister in a particular place within the body of Christ. A healthy body requires that each member do its part well. A healthy church requires the same: members that are sacrificially committed and well equipped to do the works of service that God has called us to do (Ephesians 2:10; 4:12). First Baptist Church holds its members in high regard. Members function as the primary missionaries of the gospel to the culture and the primary ministers to each other in the church family. God has placed us in this city, among these people, in this century, for a reason (Acts 17:26¬27).
"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them..." - Romans 12:3-8
To help people investigating membership to better understand the beliefs and practices of what it means to be a follower of Christ and a member of First Baptist Church. We want to do everything we can to help you succeed in your spiritual journey and to enable your discovery of God's purpose for your life as it relates to biblical community.
Our next Belong class will be October 15 at 5pm on Central Campus.

How can I create a barcode widget for Jotform to connect to an external database?Asked by simonebrennan on May 01, 2014 at 09:35 PM
Hi, I wanting to create a widgit that I can put in a Jotform form, used for inspecting assets at different locations.
- I want to be able to scan a barcode (1D) using an iPhone camera, or input the number if user is on a computer.
- From there, I want it to connect to a database hosted on a sharepoint website (which is updated regularly) and matches the barcode number with the barcode number on the database.
- Information in the database would be fields such as make, model, location, year last tested etc
- Information from the database relating to the asset is then brought into the form, and the user answers questions relating to the asset (such as overall condition, upload a photo of the asset).
Is what I want to do possible? How is this best done? Using html?
JotForm Support
Sorry but we do not have available widget that currently performs the functionality that you're looking for. We also do not have a feature that retrieves the data from the external database and populate it to the form. Personally, your requirement sounds pretty complex since it involves scanning barcodes and matching data on the external database but let me inform you that you can build your custom widget. Check this page to learn more about Widgets API. http://developers.jotform.com/widgets. This requires not just HTML but PHP and MySQL because your requirement involves database connection. I would suggest hiring a developer to work this for you as I'm sure this requires an extensive knowledge of PHP and MySQL.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to contact us here should you have further questions.
Ok thanks.
What about just to scan the barcode? Which is recorded as a answer to one of the questions.
Then from there the user answers some generic questions?
There is similar in the form of a QR Code reader. Could one be made simply for barcodes?
JotForm Support
Can you please also tell us the specification of the barcode you intend to use?
Does it has the UPC/EAN specification http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code
To my knowledge the UPC barcode are really just consist of text/numbers. The barcode you see are really just text that have barcode fonts. Like this
And the barcode scanner device when used to read the code, it is similar to an input command. Usually the barcode device after scan will have a carriage return trigger at the end this will initiate the input.
What I am getting at is, you can actually use the form to capture inputs coming from a barcode scanner device
The form can contain only a Textbox field and submit button. The scanner device should be connected to the computer that have browser where the form is already opened.
When you scan the barcode, the read input will register to the textbox field (similar to using keyboard when you type the answer to the textbox). Since at the end of the scan is a carriage return or Enterr command, the form will be submitted
After submit, the captured barcode data can be send to a database using the Send Post Data feature of the form.
Refer to this guide -How-to-Post-Submission-Data-to-Thank-You-Page
and this How-to-send-Submissions-to-Your-MySQL-Database-Using-PHP
It does requies knowledge of PHP and databases to be able to create the application.
Hope this also help. Inform us of your thought on this.
The barcode that I wish to be read is a custom made 8 digit barcode. I would like for users to be able to use their iPhone camera to be able to scan the barcode. (Would work much like other barcode scanning apps, where the camera is opened, a photo is automatically taken when a barcode is found, the app then only stores the number)
Then this number fills in a field in my form.
JotForm Support
Hello Simone,
You say custom made 8 digit barcode, isn't the barcodes universal. I assume that you are just creating an eight digit barcode.
Have you checked our "QR code" widget yet? Its quick response code which can be read by any Smartphone. Please check it here: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/qr_code
Do check and see if this meets your requirement.
Thank you!

The form is linked with a spreadsheet on google drive. It was working very good until now!!! it stopped submitting information to the spreadsheet
Please advise this is important

Hello witwax,
I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you.
Did you make any changes to your integrated google spreadsheet columns? Please be noted that if you make any changes to the spreadsheet columns, it will cause the integration to break.
I would suggest you to remove the current google spreadsheet integration you have in your form and then integrate it again.
Do get back to us if the issue persists.

Today's topic is: Something you are currently worrying about.
I've mentioned my up coming surgery a few time on my blog recently with these topics. I am sorry for that but this is what's on my mind. On Halloween I go to see the specialist to see what can be done with my ankle.
The doctor I saw recently said it needs to be stabilized. There was mention of stabilizing it permanently,I'm not sure what that entails. I've had many previous surgeries. Another one is not on the top of my to do list.
I feel bad for my husband as well. It will be a big burden on him. Of course he acts like it's no big deal. Not only will I be out of commission for awhile, his mom needs cataract surgery as well. We are the only ones to help take care of his mom. I will be stuck in bed on the 3rd floor while I recover.
I am also nervous to see what kind of damage is really done on my ankle. Previous surgeries didn't work. I hope this will be the last one I need. I'm tired of ankle surgeries.

Wellington: New Zealand's injury-hit touring team will rotate bowlers for the three-match One-day series against Zimbabwe starting in Harare on Wednesday, New Zealand Cricket said on Tuesday. All-rounder Chris Cairns, with a knee problem, and left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori, with a back problem, have already dropped out of the series.
Two other bowlers still in the squad, pace pair Dion Nash and Geoff Allott, are carrying back injuries that have limited their appearances in the past year.''We have to look at rotating our scarce bowling resources and this means Nash and Allott are unlikely to play in all three One-day Internationals against Zimbabwe,'' New Zealand coach David Trist said in a statement issued in New Zealand.

Can anyone tell me about new taurus millinium pro series
I saw a good deal at academy on the Taurus Millinium series and wanted to kwow about the taurus never own one before. Considering on .45 cal to carry with me.:D
sorry, i have not fired one let alone handled one. taurus does put out some decent products however.
I have a neighbor who has one. He likes it, but I haven't fired it yet. Maybe I'll get to go to the range with him next month.
Considering the trigger pull on most of the taurus dao pistols I've felt,I would have to choose a springfield xd over taurus.
It's DA/SA.
edit: 3rd generation is DA\SA.
I had one of the first generation (non-pro) and it was a really good pistol. The trigger was not great, but it was very reliable and reasonably accurate. I traded it away, but would like to have another one. Easy to conceal, also. The early ones had some frame cracking problems, but I never had a problem with mine.
On the negative - they are fighting up hill against the market share they shunned previously.
I have fired the PT-1911 and was very impressed, especially for the price. I have read several reviews of their products which have been positive, so I would lean towards this being a good purchase.
If you can get a good price, I think you can probably safely put down the coin knowing that the company is going to stand behind their products.
Academy sells the 9mm, 40, and 45 for $299 each.
My brother has the 9mm and the .45. I've shot both. I love them. Comfortable in hand and they are dead on. The trigger pull is not bad. Now my question is can you hook me up and get me one at your deal?

Lee was very approachable and knowledgeable so I was impressed straight away.
Midlands Office Furniture supplied me with an affordable contemporary office furniture solution and I am very pleased with the results.
As well as free design and planning, they even delivered and installed the furniture free of charge so I have no complaints what so ever with Midlands Office Furniture.

BlackBerry Z30 ReviewBlackBerry Z30
Interface and functionality
Visually, they've paid a great deal of attention in almost every aspect of the platform. So much so, that it boasts some neat looking transitions effects that sprinkle some love to the new UI – such as the cool fading effect when unlocking the device. At the same time, there's just this consistent fluid performance seen throughout the interface that easily rivals its adversaries. Unfortunately, its personalization is pretty much on the same level as iOS, since we're only given the ability to change the wallpaper and the layout of the app panel. Compared to Android and Windows Phone, it lacks those personalizing elements to make the look and feel of the UI different between handsets.
BB 10.2 does sport some neat features that make your life easier compared to the other platforms, though, like the sleep screen that shows a big red analog clock in either a portrait and landscape format, which comes neat in the dark hours of the night. This sleep lock screen turns notifications off when activated, and a tap on it can turn the set alarm on/off, or you can edit it directly from the lock screen, without diving into menus.
Following on the same premise, you can get into "Peek View" at any time by simply doing the same gesture (swipe up from the bottom bezel), but this time making sure to hold your finger on the screen and not letting go. In this view, we're given a quick look at the amount of notifications we have – though technically, you'll need to traverse over to the BlackBerry Hub to actually see what they are. Honestly, the way BlackBerry 10 handles notifications isn't as quick or practical, but instead, it seems like there's more work involved.
Well, that leads us to the hardest gesture to master – the one that gets you into the BlackBerry Hub, which aggregates all notifications, emails, text messages, and missed calls. Essentially, it's a swipe up from the bottom bezel, then while your finger is still touching the screen, you swipe right to uncover the BlackBerry Hub. As we've mentioned already, it seems like a lot of work is involved in just getting access to those notifications, but hey, that's the way they decided to go. And finally, the last gesture involves swiping down from the top bezel, which will bring up different settings depending on what app you're running. From the looks of it, the gesture basically replaces the familiar "menu" button function seen with last-gen BlackBerry.
BlackBerry smartphones are typically known for their messaging prowess, especially when many of them employ some killer physical keyboards. Obviously, the Z30 is an all-touch device and relies on a new keyboard layout. No folks, there aren't any gimmicky novelties this time around, but we're pleasantly impressed that the on-screen keyboard works well. Not only is the layout ample, but it's super responsive as well in keeping up with our rate, plus it is really easy to hit the right buttons on the large display.
Furthermore, we also appreciate the useful gestures in play with the keyboard – like doing a swipe down gesture on the keyboard to get access to its different layouts. Still, we would've liked to see some numbers and punctuations integrated into the main layout. In addition to its great auto-correct feature, BlackBerry has an interesting way of going about predictive text. Based on context clues in what you're typing, different words will begin to appear over certain letters on the keyboard – so all you need to do is a swipe up on the specific letter to automatically throw the word into what you're typing. As much as we appreciate this, we find out pace to be a little bit on the slow side, and quite frankly, we're faster just typing the old fashion way. Alternatively, there's also the voice control feature that allows us to speak our words. In our testing, it seems pretty accurate and somewhat faster than relying on the predictive text feature.
Emailing hasn't changed much with the BlackBerry 10 experience, though, accessing them is still a process on its own. Instead of seeing an email icon or something in the app panel, you'll need to once again get into the BlackBerry Hub to access them. When it comes to the layout and functionality of the email experience with BlackBerry 10, we don't find it as comprehensive as Android's Gmail experience – but hey, it still gets the job done.
Survival hinges on app support, right? Well, if you're wondering about that, it's worth mentioning that BlackBerry 10 currently has about 70,000 apps in BlackBerry World. Out of the box, the handset is preloaded with popular ones such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare, so it seems poised to have a healthy selection. However, when we compare those apps with the same ones on other platforms, they're not at complete in terms of feature set. For example, we can't delete a Facebook post that we accidentally published, which is something you can do with the iOS and Android versions.
As for some of the other third party apps, we weren't too convinced by them either – such as the third party Pandora client in "Apollo," which has some significant layout issues. Strangely, there's a YouTube icon in the app panel, but pressing it doesn't do anything else except to launch the browser and point us to the mobile friendly version of the site. Speaking truthfully, if these are the kinds of apps that users are going to be exposed to, BlackBerry 10 is going to have a difficult time trying to lure people on other platforms.
Becoming an integral part of any mobile operating system, voice control services are undoubtedly being used by many more people. Sadly though, BlackBerry fails to brings a reasonable competitor with its offering. So what can you do with it? Well, you can send a text, email, or BBM message. Additionally, you can call a contact, schedule an appointment, make a note, and even search things on the internet. Regrettably, it's not "smart" as Siri or Google Now, such as giving detailed answers to general questions like "who is Michael Jordan?"
Processor and memory
The BlackBerry Z30 sports a decent 1.7 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro Plus MSM8960 processor and 2 GB of RAM in order to ensure the smooth operation of the system. Built-in storage is 16 GB, and if you ever happen to need more, you can always insert a microSD card of up to 64 GB. From basic tasks to more complex things like gaming, we rarely find the BlackBerry Z10 exhibiting any signs of sluggishness.
Internet and connectivity
The BlackBerry Z30 web browser delivers a very good experience, since it's able to handle even the most multimedia intensive sites with little effort. Not only does it offer instant page rendering on the fly, but that same lovable and consistent fluid performance is also witnessed with its navigational controls – both pinch zooming and page scrolling. Heck, even sites with heavy Flash content are handled fairly well. Displaying a great amount of finesse, the only thing lacking are secondary features. For example, there's a button to switch between opened tabs, but it would've been nice to see some other gestures that would accomplish tab-switching as well.
In terms of connectivity options, the BlackBerry Z30 is well-equipped as it sports LTE and HSPA, along with all necessary Wi-Fi protocols, including 'n' on the 5 GHz band.
In addition, this little bad boy boasts a Micro HDMI (Type D) port, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0, so yeah, we can't complain of a lack of features in this respect.

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

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

And who told PA that wp8 is better than bb os
Wp8 looks well in laptops but not in smartphones
This is my fifth continuous comment...lol
2. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
2 cons at 7.5. Wtf is up with PA reviews this past month seriously?
7. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
The second con is a huge one. Blackberry's low app count is a major reason it's not a compelling platform.
Granted, low app count hasn't affected their reviews before (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PALM PRE REVIEW)...
30. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
Commentator, this is not football
This device is amazing

Hmm this review seems off. I don't like bb at all but come on
5. TheM16 (Posts: 80; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
Great phone ...now using it with Z1...no cpmplains
6. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
cmon PA
BBs are great phone.
It should be atleast 8.
8. Planterz (Posts: 2110; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
The good battery life is amplified by the fact that, unlike Androids and iPhones, there's so little you can do on a BB that it'll stay in your pocket most of the time.
9. GadgetsMcGoo (Posts: 168; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
You don't get any instant messages or emails? Even from work? You should get some friends and maybe a job or something.
12. Planterz (Posts: 2110; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
In your pathetic attempt to belittle me, my joke went way over your soft little head.
My joke (which apparently you need to be explained to you) is that if you were worried about your battery not lasting long enough throughout the day, because you were constantly using it to play Angry Birds or Words With Friends, or chatting with Snapchat, or sharing pictures with Instagram, or watching videos on Netflix, well...
You don't have to worry about that because you can't do any of that on a BB. Email and messaging don't take much battery juice, so your battery will last a good long time, because your BB won't be much use for anything else (not anything fun, anyway).
22. GadgetsMcGoo (Posts: 168; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
No. Your passive aggressive snide "joke" was not missed.
32. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
WOW! you are a complete dummy lol
I have a Blackberry Z10 and it can do all those things.. I don't need Netflix cuz I get much better movies and load it to my phone and watch it from there.. Are u serious? A BB can do all those things and more.. With this multi tasking beast u will find me doing a few things at a time with such ease.. No phone can match up to this lol
11. E.S.1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
The score should be closer to 8.5.
Blackberry is for business. Lot of people don't need apps, music, videos, movies or games, nor should they pay for that trivia on business phones.
13. phonebuddy (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
exactly! you are buying this phone because of the built in features that it posses and not the apps that you can install later
14. Planterz (Posts: 2110; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
That logic makes no sense. The Z30 costs as much as flagship Androids or iPhones, yet is severely limited by its woeful app selection. Same data plan charges as well.
Would you pay complete-package prices for cable/satellite TV for ony the basic channels? Would you pay the price for a 42 function Swiss Army Knife for one that only has 12 functions? $500 on a blender with only one speed when you can get a Blendtec?
You talk about built-in features? Android and iOS have the "built-in" feature of hundreds of thosands of apps and games, whereas BB has a scant fraction of that, and is missing most of the popular ones.
What can you do on a BB that you can't do on an iPhone or Android? Oh yeah...BBM. But that's coming soon anyway.
33. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Wrong! I use my phone for entertainment all the time.. who are u kidding? BB has it all now.. and makes it so much easier with the fantastic keyboard and multi tasking that beats them all.. On top of that we got a play button.. and can easily change tracks without opening the screen.. why is it that no phone has these options? so sad.. and don't tell me S4 has better options cuz I've seen them and it's a joke haha
34. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
no you're a joke.. you've "seen" the s4.. but not used it.. so shut up.. don't embarrased yourself..
15. jellmoo (Posts: 2042; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Isn't it at least worth a mention that you can side load a fair amount of Android apps in order to help with the overall low app number issue?
16. isprobi (Posts: 699; Member since: 30 May 2011)
Use a PlayOn client and server if you want more media like Netflix. The volume buttons work as a camera shutter key. I consistently get better signal reception on my Z10 than my friends with Android and iPhone and stay on LTE. And the Z30 adds ParaTek technology for even better reception but that was not even mentioned. Gestures are not hard just different than poking buttons. I hope there is a landscape dock for this like I have for my Z10.
17. toystore (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
it has 1.7 GHz dual core not 1.5 GHz, PA don't even know the spec and try to reivew phone. LOL
18. toystore (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
PA 2013 standard point system,
Android flaghip device 9 to 10
Mid tire Android 8 to 9
iPhone 9 to 9.5
Windows Phone 8 to 9
blackberry 7 to 7.5
rest 7 and below
They rated Moto X 8.5 which has same spec as Z30 lower build quality and Android 4.3 which is not even close to BB 10.2
20. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Moto X clearly is overall a better phone... I still think the Z30 should have received at least a 8.5 considering you can side load apps from Android.
21. jellmoo (Posts: 2042; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
I wouldn't say "clearly". I think that there is enough give and take between the two devices that it mostly comes down to personal preference and what you need from your handset.

Calcutta, Dec. 7: The Sealdah-bound Lal Quila Express today rammed into a row of unoccupied rickshaws stranded on the tracks at the level-crossing at Ichhapur railway station in Eastern Railways Sealdah division. The rickshaws were smashed beyond recognition but there were no casualties.
According to railway police, Trinamul Congress supporters had put up a sudden blockade on the railway tracks by placing the rickshaws across the level-crossing in support of a seven-point charter of demands concerning station amenities. The train hit the rickshaws at full speed before the driver could apply the emergency brake.
It could have been a major accident as it is risky to stop a train running at high speed. It is fortunate that the train did not go off the tracks after the emergency brake was applied, said a senior railway official of the Sealdah division.
There were serious differences among local Trinamul Congress leaders over the mode of the agitation. Some of them had said that a sudden blockade on railway tracks is not only illegal, but also unethical.

As the Drug Store News Group and its partners at the Convenient Care Association played host to several hundred in-store based providers in Orlando, Fla., in late July for the fifth annual Retail Clinician Education Congress, several signs began to emerge that the retail clinic model had reached a critical tipping point.
At the start of the year, Drug Store News predicted that 2012 would be a significant year for the convenient care industry as retail-based health clinics gear up for expansion and move closer to version 2.0. Well, that prediction is ringing true.

If our mission speaks to you, then we invite you to make a donation to Splash, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization (Tax ID #41-2160618).
We hope you will think of yourself as an "investor" in our vision of a generation of children who value their natural world and take an active role in its protection. Most nonprofits merely want "donors," but we want bold, forward-thinking community members who understand that supporting Splash is a smart investment in the health and well-being of both our children and our environment.
Just as financial investors expect monetary dividends on their investments, we know that Splash investors expect a social and environmental return on theirs. Splash will provide regular updates on how your money is being used to educate local children to respect and protect wild places and the plants and animals that live there.
For 13 years, Splash has operated with support from the Water Quality Consortium, but government cutbacks have reduced that funding in recent years. The board and staff of Sacramento Splash are determined to replace and enhance that funding with community-based sources of support.
To demonstrate our firm belief in our organization and its mission, every Splash trustee and staff member has made a personal financial investment in Sacramento Splash. We hope you will join us by making a donation today. Together, we can pursue our vision of a world where children grow up to value their natural world and take an active role in its protection.
Support from the community makes it possible to continue serving the almost 100 classes of 4th/5th graders who want to come to Splash. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Splash is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Tax ID #41-2160618.
Lucie helps Splash maintain the water-wise gardens that surround the Splash Education Center. In all types of weather, Lucie can be found in the garden, pulling weeds and planting seeds!

K-State's Passionate Family Steps Up for Student-Athletes
Funded completely by faithful K-State donors, the Vanier Football Complex is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2015 football season.
With twice as much Academic Learning Center space and a massive new Strength and Conditioning Center planned for the use of all K-State's 450 student-athletes, the current two-story building is about to grow into a four-story complex.
Exciting and new on the inside, the Vanier Football Complex project will also enhance the North End Zone experience in Bill Snyder Family Stadium with a newly enclosed seating bowl. Improving the grass roots family seating experience and bringing an even louder, more intimidating atmosphere to each and every game day, starting next season, the Wildcats will experience home field advantage like never before.
The total budget for the new Vanier Football Complex is projected at $69 million including all equipment and technology. With a milestone of more than $47 million in gifts and pledges already raised towards the project, K-State Athletics is working hard to reach its goal of $50 million dollars in philanthropic support for the Vanier Football Complex.
Sports Extra will take the next several weeks highlighting those who have made lead gifts toward this transformational project. The past two Fridays, K-State Sports Extra has highlighted a few of the Vanier Football Complex's leading donors. To read their stories, you can click here.
Today's story will highlight the Keller, Ryan and Hunt families along with Steel and Pipe Supply Co.
Bill and Cindy Keller, along with their three children, Mandy Funk and John Keller, both K-State graduates, and Sarah Keller, are longtime supporters of K-State Athletics and the Ahearn Fund.
"The desire and actions to support K-State and K-State Athletics come from a long tradition in our family. My dad was a varsity wrestler on scholarship at K-State, and my mom lived in a scholarship house. Dad always told us that he would not have been accepted into veterinary school and would not have graduated from veterinary school without the financial aid from K-State and the help and guidance of his wrestling coach," explained Bill. "Both of my parents had a great feeling of loyalty and love for K-State, and they wanted to help repay K-State in whatever way they could for the great influence that K-State had in their lives.
"My wife, Cindy, and I have the same beliefs as my parents. We want to support K-State as a way to repay K-State for the value it has provided to our immediate and extended family, and we think that K-State serves many of the most important needs of the State of Kansas and beyond, making K-State a great institution deserving of our support."
Bill received his undergraduate degree in 1972 from the College of Arts & Sciences and then went on to earn his juris doctorate at the University of Kansas. The couple resides in Pratt, Kansas, where Bill is the President and CEO of Stanion Wholesale Electric. They are also the proud grandparents of two granddaughters and one grandson.
The Keller family enjoys seeing student-athletes from every athletic team at K-State show an understanding and appreciation of the experience they have and the values they develop - things they will carry with them for their entire lives.
K-State Athletics means quality time with family and friends, according to Bill and Martin Ryan (K-State 1984). Their best memories are the many opportunities to get together at football and basketball games.
"We have enjoyed these programs for many years," said Bill. "We feel that it is our time to step up to the plate to help K-State Athletics continue to compete at the highest level."
Martin and his wife, Deb, are both graduates of Kansas State University. Martin received his degree in 1984 from the College of Arts & Sciences where he majored in Geology while Deb graduated in 1985 from the College of Human Ecology with a degree in Interior Design. Dianne Ryan, Bill's wife, is also a graduate of Kansas State and received a degree in Family & Child Development from the College of Human Ecology in 1972.
"The Vanier Football Complex is another piece of the puzzle to create that legacy for future generations," concluded Bill.
Rita and Lamar Hunt, Jr., are proud to be part of the Wildcat family and happy to support the Vanier Football Complex.
"K-State participates in many Division I sports programs and needs to have comparable facilities that other universities may already possess," said Lamar. "The football program makes it possible for all of the other programs to thrive because it is such a strong and recognized program. The complex will allow student-athletes to balance their college careers around their passion, football, and their obligation to be a student first and foremost."
Rita has a true love for K-State, as she graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences with a degree in social work in 1975. Lamar is the founder of Loretto Properties, LLC, a real estate investment company specializing in the operation and management of residential properties, as well as Loretto Charities, a private charitable organization. Lamar graduated from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree and later completed a Master of the Arts degree in counseling at Dallas Baptist University.
Rita and Lamar reside in Leawood, Kansas, and are the proud parents of nine children and five grandchildren.
Steel & Pipe Supply, Co., Inc., a Midwest steel distribution and manufacturing company, has experienced tremendous growth staying focused on building lasting relationships with its customers by exceeding their expectation for service.
"We are an unusual company with our headquarters here in Manhattan and nine operating facilities away from Manhattan," explained Dennis Mullin, Chairman and CEO of Steel & Pipe Co., Inc. "The main reason we have our headquarters here is because of the quality of employees we are able to attract. K-State is the main reason we are able to attract and maintain these quality employees. Both K-State and K-State Athletics adds a quality of life for our employees that would be hard to duplicate elsewhere."
Founded in Manhattan 81 years ago, the company shares a unique relationship with K-State Athletics and believes supporting the department is an effective way of supporting the community and the university at the same time.
"First class facilities are so important in recruiting quality athletes and staff to K-State," continued Dennis. "I know that to be able to maintain a first class program we have to have great facilities like the Vanier Complex."
The Vanier Football Complex will be funded completely by private capital gift donations and additional athletics department revenue to ensure fiscal responsibility is maintained. For those wanting to get involved or support the Vanier Football Complex project, the best way to do so is to join the Ahearn Fund, K-State's National Fund for Student-Athlete Excellence. The Ahearn Fund not only supports scholarships for our 458 student-athletes, but also provides critical funding in areas such as sports medicine and academics, as well as capital for this transformational facility. To support this project and K-State's student-athletes please click here.

We had visited this place on March 30th 2013. We booked this resort seeing the pictures on the site.We were completely disappointed. We had booked the cottage.The rooms were so uncomfortable and suffocating. No proper service. Food was just Ok.Spa was terrible. There is no proper spa and was very dirty with less facility. No TV and when called the reception, no one picks up the call and when picked they dont work o nthe request and ignore.

Provincial Status: Red Listed (endangered or threatened)
Approximately 18 cm in length and weighing about 25 grams, the Yellow-breasted Chat is a robin sized bird with striking coloration. It has a lemon yellow chest, white belly, a black head, and white 'spectacles'. It gets its 'Chat' name from the males raucous and continual calls of chatter, whistles, hoots, and chortles. When attempting to attract a mate, this bird will call continuously from a high perch for three hours at a time. It also displays with a bouncing flapping display while it continues to chatter. Chats often sing at night and will mimic the sounds of other birds (see Syilx story).
Chats are migratory and usually return to the Okanagan around the third week of May. There are a few records after mid-July, when young birds have fledged, and most birds leave BC by mid-August, but some are still around in September. The Western Yellow-breasted Chat winters from southern Baja, southern Sinaloa, southern Texas and southern Florida, south through Central America to western Panama. There is little information regarding the species on its wintering grounds. They head north to breed by about the middle of April and arrive in BC in mid-May.
Western Yellow-breasted Chats nest from mid-May to the third week of June. The females incubate 3-5 eggs for approximately 11 days. Incubation, conducted entirely by the female, takes 11 to 15 days, and the female broods the nestlings. Both parents feed the young, and the nestlings fledge after 8 to 11 days. In the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, most clutches are initiated in the second week of June, with dates ranging from May 12 to June 23, suggesting that Western Yellow-breasted Chats could raise a second brood if the season is sufficiently long. The nests are large and bulky, but well-concealed. Cup-shaped nests are composed of coarse materials like leaves, shreds of bark, coarse straws and weed stalks and lined with fine grasses, and are located low in dense bushes, usually not more than a metre from the ground.
The Yellow-breasted Chat usually is monogamous. Sometimes they will nest in groups or "colonies" but each pair defends a separate territory. Nests have been found in wild rose shrubs (highest percentage), snowberry, red-osier dogwood and Saskatoon. There now seem to be only five sites remaining in the province that are suitable for breeding:
The south Similkameen Valley, which probably contains the most extensive habitat in the province;
Okanagan River oxbows at north end of Osoyoos Lake;
Okanagan River between Inkaneep Provincial Park and McIntyre Bluff;
Vaseux Lake, primarily at the north end but previously at the south end, as well;
Woodlands along the Okanagan River on the Penticton Indian Reserve.
During the breeding season, the Yellow-breasted Chat's diet consists mainly of insects such as weevils, and other beetles, ants, moths, bees, wasps, mayflies and caterpillars. Berries (including wild strawberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, whortleberries, and elderberries) make up a large portion of its diet in late summer. Young are fed only insects. The main method of obtaining food during the breeding season is gleaning from plant foliage and occasionally from branches, and although both the male and female are foliage gleaners, female also look for food lower in the shrubbery and on the ground.
The Yellow-breasted Chat is a bird of "edge habitat" where forests meet clearings, along fencerows, dense thickets and brambles in low wet places near streams, pond edges, or swamps and in old overgrown clearings and fields. It nests in small trees such as trembling aspen, saplings or bushy tangles, favouring wild rose, hawthorn and snowberry thickets, but they also use elderberry and saskatoon bushes.
In British Columbia, the Yellow-breasted Chat is restricted to the valley bottoms of the south Okanagan and Similkameen valleys from Vaseux Lake and Cawston, southward to the International border. Almost all known sightings or nest records are located along the Okanagan and Similkameen rivers mainstem rather than in side valleys. Outside that area there is only one breeding record and 15 sight records, mostly of singing males. In the Thompson-Okanagan they are locally common in a few remaining habitat patches (River Road, Oliver; Okanagan River oxbows from Oliver to Osoyoos Lake) but are rare elsewhere. Museum records indicate that the Yellow-breasted Chat has been sighted on Vancouver Island, Kamloops, Armstrong, Chase, and Merritt, and as far north as Clinton in the interior.
Habitat loss and degradation which includes agricultural and urban development, habitat conversion and fragmentation. 92% of the riparian areas have been lost in the South Okanagan Similkameen. The lowland riparian thickets favoured by chats usually are cleared for agricultural and residential/industrial developments. This has had a significant impact on the decline of the Yellow Breasted Chat population.
Livestock grazing is also a major threat as much of the wild rose nesting patches become trampled by cattle.
Use of pesticides. Western Yellow-breasted Chat that establish territories next to farmlands, particularly orchards, may be affected by pesticide applications either indirectly (through loss of insect food) or directly (through direct contact with pesticides).
Brown-headed Cowbird nest parasitism. The cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds including chats, resulting in fewer young chats being raised each year.
Human disturbance.
What you can do to help the Western Yellow Breasted Chat
Conserve and protect natural habitat especially rose thickets on your property. Consult with a local stewardship organization for further information.
Follow the Riparian Area Regulation.
Never degrade or destroy natural habitat. Remember that the Species at Risk Act (SARA) protects this bird as well as other endangered wildlife.
Limit or refrain from pesticide use as it is harmful to this bird and other wildlife.
Limit livestock grazing in riparian zones.

It's bad enough when the FBI announces to the world that you're not secure enough. It's even worse when it then reluctantly takes it back — that second bout of publicity will be even bigger than the first, after all. Such is the current plight for EMV, the payment card security upgrade that is years out of date. It's also managed to accomplish the impossible: uniting retailers in almost unanimous opposition.
Let's start with this FBI kerfuffle and the germane background. Fact: EMV cards are more secure than magstripe cards. Fact: Not by much. Fact: It's really only true in preventing clones, which admittedly was the single-largest payment card fraud issue in the U.S., so attacking that aspect of fraud is a good thing.
But the most essential piece of background here is that the U.S. EMV deployment uses signatures as authentication, instead of PINs. PIN is how the rest of the world does EMV, and no one disputes that PIN is far more secure than signature. To be fair, that's not an especially difficult hurdle to clear today, since retailers have given up using signature for any authentication at all. It provides zero protection. When was the last time you saw a retail associate examining the signature on your card and comparing it to how you signed? That lack of examination is a good thing, given the absolute absence of handwriting-recognition training that store associates are given.
What the FBI said is that PIN is far more secure—which is without debate—and it encouraged shoppers to use a PIN instead of signature. Therein lay the problem. The FBI was giving legitimate security advice, but it's counsel that consumers—thanks to Visa and MasterCard and key banks—can't take. Retailers are not being allowed to accept PINs so the FBI counsel was, in reality, going to be pointless and confusing.
What the FBI should have said is that the U.S. needs to join the rest of the world and accept EMV PINs. It's not as though there would likely be huge consumer resistance. U.S. shoppers are already quite comfortable with PINs, courtesy of both ATM cards and payment debit cards. If it's a united effort, Americans—just like Canadians and Europeans—will deal with it.
Think back to ATMs. Consumers were never wild about the concept, but when the convenience became clear, they accepted it and never looked back. But the banking powers-that-be have this unwarranted fear of consumer revolt. Hence, a reasonably secure system is being deployed as a barely secure system. Yes, it's more secure than magstripe, but there are few things that wouldn't be.
Alas, not supporting PIN is only one of the self-inflicted wounds hurting EMV. EMV is trying to deploy in the U.S. just as mobile payments—especially Apple Pay—are starting to get a little traction. How is that a problem? It involves how EMV is being used. The current system forces an EMV card to be inserted—called "dip" in the payments world—into the card-reader and to stay throughout the transaction. That is a big change from magstripe and will take a lot more time.
Retailers today are sharply accelerating transaction time and this will be a big step back. Starbucks last week, for example, allowed Apple to say that all Starbucks stores will accept Apple Pay in store. This is a big change for the coffee chain, and it's mostly about EMV. Changing from a shopper using the Starbucks app to Apple Pay will sharply accelerate checkout, since the Starbucks app has to be launched to be used, and Apple Pay doesn't. Apple Pay will work even if the phone is in airplane mode and is not on Wi-Fi. As long as the phone is powered on—and Apple Pay was, of course, set up at some earlier point—it will work instantly.
Compare that with a Starbucks shopper trying to use an EMV card. It will have to be inserted and stay there—or else it will be handed to the store associate, who will have to do the same and remember to remove the card and hand it back. Apple Pay is faster than the Starbucks app, and the Starbucks app is faster than magstripe and magstripe is far faster than EMV. And remember that your margin speaks to how many customers you can rush in and out on their way to work. You do the math.
The FBI was right, though, that it should get involved in EMV. The way EMV is being handled is nothing less than a crime.

What does a house reflect?
- 1. Taste, certainly. What you like and don't, what you want to live with and can't. Lately, interior design in Singapore, especially in many Singapore homes,exhibits trendy styles. The caveat is that, most of the finished products seem soulless. That's what interior designers set out to fix.
- 2. Culture. Who you are depends a lot on the culture you believe in, you grew up in. Belief systems—religious, ethical, moral—all play a part in shaping who you are in the world. For that, a local designer, an interior designer Singapore-based or trained, is a wise choice. Hiring someone who understands your culture ensures you get a home that's right for you.
- 3. Personality. Do you like color, vibrant hues and magnificent reds in your rooms? Or prefer portraits over white walls? Posters over paintings? Representational art over abstract? Playful? Or soothing? Do you like metal or wood? Your inherent preferences, your personality—are you loud, shy, an introvert or the life of the party—should be evident in your domestic space.
- 4. Comfort. What kind of room relaxes you? This is your home, where you try to leave the worries and stress of the world at the door. Whether it's with a cluttered living room or a very organized kitchen, your home doesn't really need to follow the interior design in Singapore homes that you see on TV. It just has to be your own, the one you feel most comfortable with.
- 5. Ease. They say madness has its own logic. That could go for the clutter in your home as well. However, remember that too many things around—too many knick-knacks and brick-a-bracks—could get in your way. Make sure your interiors—that table or chair or tall vase—isn't blocking the flow of your space.
- 6. Passion. Do you like books? Sculptures? Plants? Make space for them in your home and your life. Learn how to integrate these things into your home. Teach yourself how to live with what you love.
In the end, whether you prefer a modern contemporary style or an industrial one, whether you like kitsch in your home or a minimalist approach in arranging everything you have in your space, the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom must all share one quality, one characteristic: these spaces should all reflect you, all shades and sides of you.

PlumChoice Executive to Focus on Specialized Tech Support Needed for Interconnected Devices, Apps and Services in the Digital Home
Karen McPhillips to Share Insights at CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference
LOWELL, Mass.--PlumChoice, Inc., the company that partners with leading brands to sell and deliver advanced tech support services that redefine excellence in customer experience, today announced that Vice President of Marketing, Karen McPhillips will participate in a panel discussion about the future of tech support in the connected home at an upcoming Parks Associates event. "CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference" will be held from May 13 to 15 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott.
During the session, "Tech Support: Connected Home Strategies and Solutions," McPhillips and other industry experts will help executives from the Fortune 500, startups and venture capital firms understand the complexities of the connected home and the advanced tech support needed to optimize consumers' experiences with cloud-based applications and new devices entering the market. The interactive panel discussion, moderated by Patrice Samuels, research analyst, Parks Associates, on Wednesday, May 14 at 8:45 a.m. will address trends related to the future of connected home as well as security concerns and the evolution of tech support services.
"With the evolution of the connected home, brands are inviting consumers to demand more from their products and services," said McPhillips. "This provides a unique opportunity to increase awareness with brand-agnostic, whole-home technical care that supports today's - and tomorrow's - highly personalized and interconnected tech environments. When done correctly, this end-to-end service experience enables brands to become a trusted technical advisor which will lead to new revenue streams and greater lifetime value for the consumer."
Research from Parks Associates confirms the demand for advanced technical support. The firm's studies report that nearly a quarter (25 percent) of household device troubleshooters say the availability of technical support and extended warranty options influence what brands and retailers/etailers they purchase from.
"Approximately 50 percent of consumers report that they would prefer to receive help when setting up devices; however, only 15 percent currently use professional help when doing so," says Patrice Samuels Research Analyst at Parks Associates. "Brands that provide support services that help consumers to navigate and have seamless experiences with their products and services will cultivate more lasting and rewarding relationships with their customers."
CONNECTIONS™ focuses on innovative solutions for the connected consumer and leading strategies to monetize digital content, mobile applications and services, value-added services, connected consumer electronics, and home systems. The conference, hosting 350-plus industry executives, media and analysts features research sessions on OTT video, mobile and product apps, connected CE, and the connected home. The 18th-annual CONNECTIONS™ Conference will be held at the Airport Marriott Waterfront and features keynote presentations from AT&T, Lowe's, ARRIS, Cisco, and iControl Networks.
"Digital content and connected devices, along with pervasive high-speed Internet, are changing the way consumers communicate and share and obtain information, forcing companies to test new services, licensing agreements, advertising options, and partnership opportunities," said Stuart Sikes, president of Parks Associates. "CONNECTIONS™ addresses all of these issues with the key stake holders from the industry, including PlumChoice."

Natural Selection
Review by SerialSlayer
"Another jewel in Half-lifes crown."
For the going on 5 years that Half-life has been released, we have seen many mods. One is Counter-Strike, which is the most popular online mod of Half-life. TFC, which is also incredible and Day of Defeat which has also taken the Half-life the community by storm.
But forget those and move 'em aside because Natural Selection is here to stay.
I have always been on the top the Half-life mod community, checking out the newest features in mods, and seeing what developers can make out of an old engine. Well, Natural Selection has made great use of Half-lifes engine, and almost every aspect of the original game is changed.
Controls 10/10
Easy, customizable, and simple. Even commander hotkeys are customizable for the tough commander job. Nothing to say here, flawless.
Graphics 8/10
For a almost 5 year game with a 7+ year engine, this game looks nice. Nothing too great, but just plain nice. This is the kind of mod that won't kill your FPS and doesn't look too bad at the same time. It is actually the most damanding mod in terms of graphics. The models of the marines are bland. However, the model aliens are so freakin' cool. The developers made the skulk move like its so natural, and once you see an Onos, your jaw WILL drop.
Gameplay 9/10
Well, you can either be a Marine or an Alien. The Aliens have made their way into your ship and set a hive, and they won't stop until they have full control of your ship. The marines must defend (duh!)
One thing that sets this mod aside from others is the ''mood'' that it creates. It feels like one of those ''ALIEN'' movies where the marines are watching each others back, and they all die one by one. You know, those kind of movies!!! This is the cool part. This mod is a hybrid of an RTS/FPS which FEW developers have been able to accomplish. Remember C&C Renegade? (*shudders*)
Around all the maps are ''resource nozzels'' which each team must have in order to evolve (aliens) or upgrade to better weapons and armor (marines) So its basically a internal fight for resources outside the main killing. One marine must take the role as ''Commander'' which they have their own comfy chair in the base for, and from there...they can see the entire map. This can be troublesome, if you got a n00b commander or somebody that just likes to create trouble. Marines are most likely going to lose. Since the aliens have more of an ''independent'' style, its easy for the aliens to win if the marines don't work as a team.
There is just too much to explain about this awesome game, if you guys own half-life, go out and download this. It took me off CS for months, and im still loving it.
Replay Value 10/10
Nothing to say here, its a multi-player game, it has infinite Replay Value. However, some strategys that commanders use get old. Bet hey, its a mod that isnt even retail yet. Its constantly changing.
Overall 9/10
Like I said before, this mod is the latest fad in the HL community. Like I said before, if you own the game, go out and download it, its free!
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

The Department of Communities and Local Government has clarified the changes to requirements of Regulation 20 of the Building Regulations (England), regarding work being carried out by a registered gas engineer as Gas Safe registrants.
The changes relate to how notification to Local Authority Building Control should be made, and what needs to be notified.
The two key changes to the requirements which affect gas engineers are:
- If you carry out work that needs to be notified, as a Gas Safe registered business, you are responsible for notifying it – you can no longer rely on your customers to do this.
- All heat-producing gas appliances and associated heating and hot water system installations must be notified – not just domestic work and also applies to installations in new-build developments.
Gas Safe engineers must now notify works on all gas appliances including: boilers, hot water heaters, warm air heaters, gas fires and cookers with integral boilers.
You can notify works through one of three available routes: Gas Safe Register, APHC or boiler manufacturer that offers this facility.
With Ideal you can register all of your Ideal boiler installations through Installer Connect for FREE, saving you £2.20 on every Ideal boiler you install.
This includes the following domestic boiler ranges: Vogue, Logic+, Logic, Logic Code Combi ES, and Independent, Independent+, i-mini, Esprit Eco, Pro Combi and iCombi.

"The idea of publications totally based on advertising is, I think, an illusion. Some can do it, but I don't think it's ever going to be a sustainable model for most publications."
What are the benefits of paying Talking Points Memo $50 a year (or $5 a month) for a TPM Prime subscription?
