The Arnold Sports Festival is a celebration of all things fitness -- and ProSource was on hand to be a part of it.Columbus morphed into a land of giants the weekend of March 3-5 as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival rolled into town. Hundreds of thousands of people converged on the Ohio capital to not only see the Arnold Classic bodybuilding contest -- the centerpiece of the event, now in its 18th year -- but tons of other sports competitions as well, from archery to volleyball, powerlifting to cheerleading, karate to table tennis. At the Classic Saturday evening, Dexter Jackson defended the title he won last year, earning straight firsts on the judges-- scorecards in a battle that arguably could have gone to anyone in the top four. Jackson, known as "The Blade" for his absolutely stellar conditioning, actually wasn't as spot-on as usual, but still had enough cuts -- along with his 223 pounds of aesthetic muscular mass -- to overcome the other contenders. In second was a ripped and massive Branch Warren, while New York's Victor Martinez took third, and 2005 Mr. Olympia Challenge Round winner Gustavo Badell finished fourth. Of course, Arnold himself made an appearance on Friday and Saturday night, continuing his traditional Columbus trek even with the slew of duties he has as Governor of California. On Friday, he squeaked into the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium with seconds to spare -- racing cross country by jet after fulfilling gubernatorial duties during the day -- and crowned three women's champions: Adela Garcia in the Fitness International, Mary Elizabeth Lado in the Figure International, and Iris Kyle in the Ms. International. Garcia and Kyle both earned back the hardware they won in 2004 -- Garcia lost to Jen Hendershott last year, who this time around dropped to third, while Kyle sat out last year's Ms. I to focus on the Olympia. Both nights, the packed houses were electric, buzzing about the talent-rich lineups in all four contests. And when Schwarzenegger strolled onstage, the place went wild, proving that he's still the most revered athlete in bodybuilding history. Meanwhile, at the Columbus Convention Center Friday, Saturday and Sunday, every imaginable fitness product in the world was on display during the Arnold Fitness Expo. As usual, attendance was absolutely unbelievable as people crammed into the hall for their share of free supplement samples, T-shirts, and of course to rub elbows with the top names in bodybuilding, fitness and figure, along with Ultimate Fighters, NFL football players, and other top-level athletes. The ProSource booth was mobbed all day long as we handed out literally thousands of the new Buyer's Guides. Word is out that this is the hottest issue ever and the ProSource staff had difficulty keeping up with the stampede of anxious customers. If you were not fortunate enough to attend the Arnold and get your free copy, just order it off our site now and see what all the excitement's about. For the first time in its history, the Festival expanded to the Nationwide Arena and the Dispatch Ice Haus, home of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. The venues hosted eight events, including tae kwon do, judo, figure skating, speed skating and the Friday Night Fights/Gracie Fighting Championships, featuring boxing and mixed martial arts matches. The great Smokin' Joe Frazier was presented the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award by Schwarzenegger as part of Friday night's program, a highlight for anyone lucky enough to have been in the audience. For those of you who have never attended an Arnold Weekend to see the entire spectacle for yourself, it's certainly time for you to reconsider and make the trip next March. When the population of this historical midwestern town swells with fitness fanatics every year, the residents always put their best face forward; it's large enough metropolis to host such a huge affair, yet small enough to be quaint and easy to get around. Admittedly, the weather can be a factor sometimes -- this year wasn't too bad, with just a touch of flurries on Thursday and daytime highs in the upper 30s throughout -- but the local scene has a lot to offer if you know where to look. For instance, just past the Convention Center on High Street is a bustling nightlife in the Short North Arts District, where there are a number of great restaurants to eat after the shows are over. And on the south end of town is the German Village, where you will find a number of German-style restaurants and bars. Within walking distance of the venues is City Center, a full-scale mall that represents one of numerous points of shopping interest. The Arnold Weekend may have begun many years ago as a destination of hardcore bodybuilding aficionados, but now, newly dubbed the Arnold Sports Festival, it has become not only that but so much more. For bodybuilding and sports nuts, it is truly a fan's paradise.
The ProSource Buyer's Guide Takes The Gold At The Arnold!By the size of the crowd you would think Arnold himself was giving away blocks of gold at the ProSource booth. Well, it wasn't Arnold giving away gold, it was the ProSource girls giving away the 2006 ProSource Buyer's Guide! Literally thousands of customers, new and old, swarmed the booth for 3 days straight shoving their way to the front to make sure they left the show with their copy. Packed full of articles, research updates, Q&A's, hot new products, great prices, and so much more, the 10th anniversary edition appeared to be the hit of the show. Well what were some of the products and topics in the Buyer's Guide that got top honors at the Arnold? The popular, high potency testosterone booster AndroTest by ProSource seemed to take center stage, and standing beside it was Tetrazene ES-50, the top selling fat burner by BioQuest. In a close 3rd was the most popular whey isolate protein of all time, NytroWhey Extreme. Another hot topic was how low the prices on the top selling brands are. ProSource is selling the popular BSN products at shockingly low prices. InStone, EAS, and Muscle Tech prices are blowing the competition away, and just about every other brand and product in the Buyer's Guide is the lowest in the industry! To sum it all up, 10 years of exceptional service, huge product selection, unbeatable prices, and hundreds of thousands of loyal, satisfied customers, is why ProSource is the industry's leading sport supplement distributor.

Along the edge of a marsh on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the grasses give way to mud, and then more mud, and then muddy water.
Suzanne Baird is the refuge manager for Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and Matt Whitbeck is a wildlife biologist here. They offer a word of caution: "It's gonna be muddy, you're gonna sink up to your butt if you walk out there."
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has forests, waterways, and currently about 8,000 acres of marsh. Once upon a time, Whittbeck says, it had 13,000.
"In 1933 when this refuge was established, this was a broad, vast, almost prairie-like expanse of sedges and grasses that are just critical to wetland-dependent species -- and now all you see is a vast expanse of shallow, open-water habitats," he says.
The reason? Sea level is rising. And the geology of the region is such that the ground is sinking. Conservative measurements put the water-level rise so far at one foot every hundred years. Striking aerial photos show this lake springing into existence from the 1930s to the 1950s to 2005.
"It is amazing. There are a lot of places you can go in this refuge, out in that open water you're running the boat across the shallow water, and the boat is bumping against stumps," he says.
We're talking tree stumps, as in parts of that lake used to be forest.
"It's happened so fast those stumps haven't decayed. It's phenomenal the rate at which these habitats are changing," he says.
Humans made this significantly worse when they introduced the nutria, an invasive giant swamp rat from South America used for its fur. It ate the very root system out from under the marshes, making them even more susceptible. The nutria has just about been exterminated. But for the creatures that belong here, all the muddy water that remains is a problem.
Whittbeck points to a line of about 5,000 birds a few hundred feet away.
"You have the snowgeese in the background -- that's most of the chatter -- and then you have a few tundra swans here talking amongst themselves," he says.
Two-hundred-fifty bird species -- ducks, swans, bald eagles -- call this place home, or at least stop by to visit while migrating.
"Hundreds of thousands of birds that come through here at various times," he says.
With less space to feed, there are fewer birds than before. Back in the '30s, there were more black ducks here than anywhere south of Labrador, Canada. There's nothing like those numbers around now. Many of the Tundra swans now overwinter in North Carolina and Virginia. And even fish don't do well in the murky, muddy water that's overtaking the marshes -- there's little in the way of underwater plants to shelter them.
"This is the future for the Eastern Shore," says Steven Gill, a chief scientist with NOAA's National Ocean Service, where they've been measuring sea-level rise for a hundred years.
"A large part of that Eastern Shore of Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay is very low-lying marshland," Gill says. "It's acres and acres and hundreds of thousands of acres of marsh all very low-lying that are at risk."
In principle, marshes can move to higher ground as water rises. But if the water rises too quickly, like it has at Blackwater, the marshes can't keep up. They no longer hold the soil down, and the low-lying shore just unravels like a sweater.
Plus, Gill says, in a lot of areas on the Eastern Shore, there's just not that much higher ground to migrate to. He can't predict how much of the shore will disappear, because different scientists predict different trends in future sea-level rise. Some say 7 inches in a hundred years, others say 5 feet. But, he says, "there's no trends going down."
Back at Blackwater, refuge manager Baird is not giving up.
"We know we can build marsh," she says.
Man-made restoration, though not always economical, is possible.
"Part of this along the fringe of this forest here is actually built," Baird says.
Biologists here are trying everything -- hay bales to hold in dredge material, replanting aquatic grasses, they even burn the marsh every year to promote root growth.
The idea is not necessarily to rebuild those lost 5,000 acres of wetland, but to at least give what's left time to move -- if it has a place to move to, says Whittbeck.
"These are changes that a lot of coastal habitats are gonna face eventually. So it really gives Blackwater an opportunity to be a role model on how to adapt to these changes," he says.
This, after all, is the future.

Thread: What are your compromise names?
April 15th, 2013 01:51 AM #6
Knowing my SO likes or loves a name actually tends to make it grow on me...provided it has the qualities I'm looking for in a name (mostly, for me, this just means it's at least relatively uncommon; names he likes are usually names he's familiar with, so he tends conservative). I don't think I'd like Cormac, Malcolm, Rory, and Ramona half as much as I do if he didn't also like them; I was not sold on Ramona as recently as about a month ago, but when he very earnestly told me a) that he liked it, b) just how much he liked it, and c) why he liked it, I came around on it with record speed. I recently threw Rory at him as an "I guess I could live with this" name after I'd exhausted my boys' list (including names I just sort of liked & names I thought would be too "weird" for him) and he'd only given me a firm "yes" on two of them. Then he sent me an email that said only "Rory is a cute name "...and now I totally dig Rory. So I guess our compromise process takes the form of arriving at a mutual love of a name more than it takes actual sacrificial compromise, which I am totally okay with.
Middle names, though...it's too early to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if I had to let some favorite combos go. Here are some names I'd be willing to offer as compromises (since I've run them by him and he hasn't outright rejected them OR he has said he likes the name and I'm no more than lukewarm on it):
Arthurit's name-o'clock somewhere
Daria | Jethra | Ramona | Claudia | Zenobia | Niobe | Tullia | Solveig | Greta | Cyra | Rivka | Hypatia | Junia | Moira | Phoebe
Ferris | Otto | Dorian | Arthur | Leif | Robin | Fox | Cassander | Desmond | Cyro | Grover | Sirocco | Rory | Quentin | Tycho
Mildred "Red" ☆ Obedience "Bede" ☆ Relief "Leafy" ☆ Dorothea "Doro" ☆ Cressida "Sid" ☆ Ruth "Rue" ☆ Eudoxia "Exie" ☆ Ramona "Momo"
April 15th, 2013 04:36 PM #8
For me, it's hard to think of what I'd compromise on since I don't know what I'm being offered instead. I've had name discussions with my current SO and our styles really match up, even if the names themselves aren't exactly one-for-one. I don't think we'd have too big of an issue finding something we both love equally if we didn't love each others' #1 picks.
I love Edmund & Marius, he loves "badass Greek & Roman mythology names" and classic French names. Pretty sure things'll work out for boys, at least.
For a girl… I'm not quite sure. He has his #1-all-time-fave name that he said he will absolutely name a daughter. I *like* that name, and I'd agree to it, but I'm not passionate about it (even though I mention it and suggest it often).
I'm definitely open to compromise, and am expecting it. I realized years ago that all this effort I put in to making combos and sibsets isn't going to matter when the guy I marry says, "No freekin way," so I put myself in a more realistic headspace.
I'm fairly confident that if my SO gave me a list of 10 names he likes/ loves/ wants to use, I'd find at least a couple I'd be pumped to use.Lucia
Name aficionada, traveller, teacher, wonderfully enamoured

I've actually been thinking a lot about this (though I try to tell myself that my future SO obviously is gonna love my favourite names because I like the most beautiful names in the world, why wouldn't he like them ), and I do have compromise names, but I just don't like them as I like the *real* names. Also I think I might have a potential problem in that the only names I'm willing to let go are middle names ... like with Amaury Philip Theo - the only name that I can live without is Philip, and with Anna Ingrid Alexandra, I'm only willing to swap Alexandra.
Also, I don't have a list of compromise names in general, I have one for each name. Being a name nerd is hardZelia • 20s • Exporting names from Greenland & Inuit mythologyAlexander Adelin Lórien "Sasha" • Henry Ásgeirr Ivik • Asa Bjørnstjerne Jem • Nor Valdemar Olórin • Marcel Endymion Sejr • Julian Saxo Dante

Curious what all this iPad news means for Android fans? We do, too. With the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display upping the ante on mobile technology in their own way, let's take a look at what this means for Android tablets.
When we take the iPad Air into consideration, there's a lot to like: thin, light, powerful. At only 7.5mm thin, it's the slimmest full-sized tablet available. Apple is also touting their debated A7, 64-bit processor on-board, and saying it has dual WiFi antennae for "twice the WiFi performance", as well as an LTE option.
The iPad mini stepped up to a Retina display, which was a safe assumption made by many. It keeps the 7.9-inch screen, but also packs the A7 processor and dual WiFi antennae inside. The mini will also have an LTE version, and both Apple tablets will be available in November: the Air on the first, and the mini later in the month sometime.
The iPad Air will start at $499 for the 16GB WiFi version, and run all the way up to a massive $929 for the 128GB LTE version. The iPad mini will run $100 less across the lineup, so starting at $399 and topping out at $829. That's a jaw dropper.
Impressive, sure, but they're probably not enough to get us away from our Nexus 7 2013 — or even Nexus 10. The hardware is gorgeous, but the guts are suspect as Apple doesn't reveal much about what's going on inside their devices. The ecosystem is still iOS, and Android fans clearly aren't into that. Starting at nearly half the price of the iPad mini, the Nexus 7 2013 is still our champion.

Subject: [EAGDNA] New mtDNA Project participants
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:02:11 -0400
Four new mtDNA participants have been added to the Project website. By most
distant maternal ancestor, they are:
- Mary HUDSON, b. 1783, Rougham, NFK; mitoSearch ID X8G56; haplogroup T2/3
- Elizabeth HALLS, b. 1796, Stetchworth, CAM; mitoSearch ID S9YNX;
haplogroup U5a1
- Sophia TURPIN, b. 1798, Helions Bumpstead, ESS; mitoSearch ID 6Z5DA;
haplogroup HV*
- Mary SIMONS, b. 1788, East Donyland, ESS; haplogroup K
There are now 32 mtDNA profiles in the Project including the Castle Mall,
Norwich 10th century Saxon burial remains. About a third (10/32) of these
are Haplogroup H and its subclades, which compares with 50% frequency in
Europe. Of particular interest, a quarter of the profiles are Haplogroup T
(T1 and T2). This is interesting because Haplogroup T is found at frequency
of 6% across Europe. It appears East Anglia is a hot spot for this mtDNA
haplogroup. Four of the Haplogroup T's were found in the 10th century Saxon
burial site at Norwich. One possible conclusion is that Haplogroup T was
found at a high frequency amongst Saxon women. The remaining 14 mtDNA
profiles are spread across 8 haplogroups, which is reflection of the same
high genetic diversity in East Anglia seen with the YDNA participants. This
is likely due to East Anglia being the gateway to the British Isles from the
continent for millenia of Invaders, all of whom left their genetic signature
as they passed through (Celts), lingered before leaving (Romans), or stayed
For frequencies of the major mtDNA haplogroups across Europe see
And, for phylogenetic tree of mtDNA haplogroups see:
These are still very small numbers to be drawing any conclusions on. We
need more mtDNA participants, particularly from Suffolk. Currently there
are none. If you know anyone with maternal (mtDNA) roots in East Anglia who
is interested in their deep ancestry please encourage them to test. They
are welcome to join through the East Anglia DNA Project.

This means that foods that had previously been considered high GI, e.g. melon, can now be introduced into your diet, as the amount of carbs you would eat in a portion, rather than in a whole melon, is calculated.

I had high hopes for tea notes this evening but they were dashed. My kindergartener's homework (!) was to write a story about his week with the class mascot (a stuffed Clifford the big red dog) and illustrate it with photographs of the two of them, and of course we left it till the last night. Partly this was because we barely have time to do his other homework as it is, what with both parents working and all, but mostly it was because I got a new camera and couldn't get the printer to work with it. Ugh. Anyway, I finally figured it out, story is now done and child is in bed. Whew.
So I'm backtracking to another bagged hanger on that I haven't yet written about.
This is a serviceable spiced rooibos, but I'm not sure it's a very good chai. I haven't had a lot of chai, so what do I know. All I can say is I've had a really good one. Part of what made it so good was the richness the milk imparted. This doesn't stand up to milk. Another thing that made it really good was the black pepper kick. There's no black pepper in this. And another thing that made it really good was a really luscious blend of spices that gave it a lot of character and depth. This has a sort of generic cinnamon-spicy thing going on.
I would have the Tazo Decaf Chai over this if I was looking for a caffeine free chai in a teabag. It stands up to milk, it has black pepper. Two out of three ain't all bad.

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre accepted gun-control advocate Mark Kelly's nomination to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the proceeds of which go to raise funds and awareness for the incurable disease. Kelly, who is married to former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, participated in the challenge with Giffords standing by.
Under the Challenge's unofficial rules, which allow three subsequent nominations, Kelly called out LaPierre as one of his three. LaPierre then had 24 hours to record himself being doused by a bucket of ice water.
Catch the action of EVP Wayne LaPierre participating in the challenge, and learn who he nominated, in the video embedded below.

Talking points
School board chiefs $12,000 surprise
December 13, 2006 at 12:48 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Members went into a closed session before voting to extend Lafons contract through December 31, 2008. They also voted to give him 10 percent salary hike of $12,000.
Hes doing an excellent job for our community and our children and as board members we are pleased, board member Clarence Savoie says.
Lafons base pay is $125,610, and, no, he did NOT get the five percent pay increase that teachers received across the board earlier this year.
While were on the subject of education and the schools, two St. Charles Parish school board members are retiring after more than 20 years of service. Alfred Green and Wayne Roussel chose earlier in the year not to run for another term.
And before I forget, while Im still thinking about jobs and salaries, heres a trivia tidbit for you. The best-paying positions, on average, for people who dont hold a four-year degree, in the parish are for what the petro-chemical companies call process technicians.
Those workers earn an average of $1,949 per week to monitor chemicals and keep heat pumps and exchangers under control.
For readers without calculators, thats $101,348 a year.
The job requires a two-year associates degree, James Poole, program coordinator of the St. Charles One-Stop Career Center, in Luling, tells the Herald-Guide.
St. Charles Parishs Satellite Center has launched a new website announcing the 2nd Annual Satellite Center Video an Animation Festival to be held on April 26th from 6 PM to 9 PM at the Center.
Entries in the festival will be accepted from any St. Charles Parish high school student - and that, kids, means YOU.
For more information, hit the Web: http://scvaf,stcharles.k12la.us
The news about suspected serial killer Ronald Dominique just keeps breaking. Ive learned that he may have lived somewhere in St. Charles Parish during his murder spree.
Sheriff Greg Champagne says he is investigating to find out for sure. We havent confirmed anything yet, but were looking into the possibility Dominique lived in the parish when some of the murders occurred, Champagne tells the Herald-Guide, noting that a judge in Terrebonne Parish has imposed a gag order prohibiting further discussion of the case in the media.

Worthy of royalty: Guthrie flirts with no-hitter vs. Sox
Worthy of royalty: Guthrie flirts with no-hitter vs. Sox
The right-hander, acquired from the Rockies on July 20, had a rough first four months of the 2012 season, primarily with Colorado. But since the calendar changed to August, Guthrie has been at the center of a renaissance for the Royals' starting rotation.
Sunday marked the latest chapter in his late-summer resurgence, as his performance -- plus some clutch hitting from Salvador Perez -- keyed the Royals to a 5-2 win and a sweep of the White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.
After Perez had given Guthrie a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run double, the righty quickly struck out the first two White Sox hitters to open the seventh. Paul Konerko then hit a ground ball deep into the hole at shortstop. Alcides Escobar fielded the ball, but his throw to first baseman Eric Hosmer came in on a hop. Hosmer attempted to make a play, but the ball bounced off his glove. Konerko was safe, and the play was deemed an infield single by the official scorer.
"It's a tough play," Guthrie said. "Him getting to it, he played himself into a chance to get an error or a hit. It went the way the scorer scored it. To me, I was going to go out and make pitches. If it was scored a hit, great. If it was scored an error, great. My goal was to finish out the game with zero runs."
Royals manager Ned Yost was a bit more pragmatic.
"I know this," Yost said, "if Hoz catches that ball, Konerko's out by 15 feet."
The Royals plan to appeal the scoring decision. But did the loss of the no-hitter -- and the controversial fashion in which it happened -- affect the pitcher?
"Not Jeremy. He's a pretty steady guy," Yost said. "He's a professional. He's a guy that's been a No. 1 starter for four straight years, and he's got those intangibles inside him where he really stays focused, pitch to pitch. He's got a plan on what he wants to accomplish when he gets out there, and he just focuses pitch to pitch on accomplishing it. Not much bothers him or rattles him."
"There was no change in anything I was going to do," Guthrie said. "I was going to go out there and throw first-pitch strikes and try to get ahead of them."
The much talked-about play was just the beginning of a furious late-inning finish. Guthrie went back out to the mound for the eighth, and again he retired the first two hitters. But, the controversial ruling was rendered less significant when Guthrie allowed back-to-back singles that ended his afternoon.
Reliever Tim Collins was summoned, and Dewayne Wise greeted him with a hard line drive that went right through Hosmer's legs at first base and into the right-field corner to score both baserunners and tie the game at 2.
But the Royals struck back almost immediately. Billy Butler walked to lead off the home half of the eighth and was replaced by pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson. Dyson stole second before Perez singled into right-center field to drive in the go-ahead run.
"In that situation, runner at second base, nobody on, I just tried to get him over to third, something away, to hit it to right field. And they gave me something away, up," Perez said.
"The thing that I really like about Sal in the five-hole right now is he provides great protection behind Billy [Butler]," Yost said. "A lot of teams aren't going to want to face Billy. Sal's a guy that doesn't strike out. He puts the ball in play. He's got a great idea when he gets to the plate, and he's a clutch hitter. Three RBIs for Sal today was big in those situations."
The Royals scored twice more in the inning to make it a three-run game.
"For us, that eighth inning, earlier in the year, would've been a little deflating, having a pitcher pitch as good as he did," Yost said. "That was a tough ball hit to Hoz. The ball stayed down, he came up. It was hit right down the line, we just couldn't get to it. To end up tying the game on a ball like that, it would've been a little bit deflating, but they came back in the dugout bound and determined that they were going to win the game right then and there."
The sweep over Chicago capped a 5-1 homestand that saw tremendous starting pitching performances, and Guthrie's no-hit bid was perhaps the finest of them all. The righty ended up surrendering a pair of unearned runs on three hits in 7 2/3 innings. He didn't receive a decision but continued his great August. Guthrie is 2-1 in four starts this month with a 0.94 ERA. He hasn't allowed an earned run since Aug. 3 and has lasted at least seven innings in each of his last three starts.
"Just making good adjustments that are allowing me to make more quality strikes," Guthrie said of his recent success. "We played great defense, as well, which I think is even more important than making good pitches, at times, in that guys position themselves well and make the tough plays. Ultimately, I think there's a little more quality strikes down in the zone, and I'm giving myself a chance to succeed."
While the homestand's finale didn't end with the franchise's first no-hitter since Bret Saberhagen no-hit the White Sox in August 1991, it did end with a sweep of Chicago and vaulted the Royals into third place, ahead of the Indians.
"It was great for us to come in and play this club -- after just sweeping Toronto, they came in playing very well -- to play as well as we did," Yost said. "It was a full-team affair -- starting pitching, bullpen, clutch hitting, defense. It was a great series for us."

Smartphone apps to help with taxes
Pay Uncle Sam with your thumbs? You can, thanks to a flood of new and improved tax apps for your smartphone.
You can estimate your taxes, track charitable donations, check the status of your refund, access standard mileage rates and retirement plan limits and, yes, even file a tax return from your smartphone.
"Users can save time and costly data-entry errors by taking photos of their tax forms and importing the numbers through [an] app," says Sandee Astrachan, lead product manager at H&R Block.
As the number of U.S. mobile subscribers with smartphones continues to increase -- almost 70 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers own smartphones, according to a 2014 comScore report -- so do the options to use tech to manage personal finances. In fact, 33 percent of consumers have used their phones for mobile banking, according to a 2014 report by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
H&R Block and TurboTax are targeting these tech-savvy smartphone users with apps that allow them to use their mobile network to file their taxes.
Here are a few tax-time tasks you can do with your smartphone and a sampling of apps that can help:
1. File your taxes
The apps from TurboTax, H&R Block and TaxAct are free to download (you may pay an e-filing fee). When first introduced a few years ago, the tax-filing apps were limited to 1040EZ returns, which excluded people with high incomes, lots of deductions or other financial complexities. But that's gradually changing. For example, TurboTax this year expanded its app to accommodate taxpayers filing all types of returns, giving you the flexibility to file from your phone no matter how intricate your return.
TurboTax and H&R Block's apps also let you snap a photo of your W-2 and then use it to auto-fill much of the information on your tax form. The tool can be a little finicky, though, so make sure you double-check the details it enters. Then answer a few questions, pay the filing fee if necessary, push a button and -- voila! -- you've filed your taxes.
TurboTax Mobile App
Cost: It's free to file a 1040EZ, otherwise the fee is based on the type of return filed. TurboTax raised the ire of taxpayers earlier this year when it changed its software for 2014 returns. Filers who want to itemize deductions such as mortgage interest or charitable donations on a Schedule A need to upgrade from TurboTax Basic to TurboTax Deluxe; filers who need to file a Schedule C for businesses, Schedule D for capital gains or Schedule E for rental property must upgrade from TurboTax Deluxe to the Premier or Home and Business versions of the software program.
Platform: iPhone, Android.
Details: The app, just like the desktop version, asks specific questions to help you complete a tax return. You can snap a photo of your W-2 or 1099 and the information is synced to your online account and entered into your tax return. It's possible to move between devices, starting a return on your desktop and completing it on your smartphone, for example. New this year: Users can also complete their returns in Spanish.
H&R Block 1040EZ 2014
Cost: Cost: Free to file a 1040EZ, state returns start at $9.99
Platform: iPhone, Android.
Details: Designed for filers with W-2, interest or unemployment income, who do not own a home or claim dependents and earned less than $100,000. The app asks you a few qualifying questions and then walks you through the process, pulling information from the photo of your W-2 into your return. If you don't qualify to use the app, you'll be directed to the firm's website, where you can find an H&R Block office and make an appointment or use the online software. All returns filed with the 1040EZ app are backed by the worry-free audit guarantee.
TaxAct Express
Cost: The app is free to download; it's free to file federal and state returns.
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: Although the app, which was introduced in 2014, is designed for filers with simple returns, it accommodates a greater number of tax situations than the 1040EZ. For example, taxpayers claiming dependents, education credits and retirement savings contributions can file using the app. If you start filing a return and encounter situations not covered by the app, the information can be transferred to the online or tablet versions of the software for filing more complex returns. The app also allows users to track the status of their federal refund.
2. Estimate your taxes or refund
If you're wondering how big your refund will be or how much you'll owe this year, several apps can give you a ballpark estimate. Before you start, make sure you know the amount of tax withheld from your pay, which you can find on your W-2 form or your final pay stub of the year.
TaxCaster by Intuit
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: Reviewers have found this app's estimates to be pretty accurate, and it's also among the easiest to use. The app is made by TurboTax, and will recommend an appropriate version of TurboTax's tax software.
TaxSlayer Free Refund Calculator
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: Provide basic information about your income, withholdings, deductions and tax credits and the app provides an estimate of your refund. While reviewers rave about its accuracy, it's best applied to simple tax situations (it doesn't take 1099 income, mortgage interest or retirement contributions into account, for example).
3. Track your refund
After asking a few basic questions, different apps can keep you posted on the status of your tax return and predict when you can have that cash in hand.
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: The official app of the Internal Revenue Service. You'll need your Social Security number, ZIP code, filing status and the anticipated amount of your refund. The newest version includes a status tracker to monitor where your return is in the process; for e-filed returns, you can check your status within 24 hours of filing (it takes up to four weeks to check the status of a paper return). You can also use the app to have your tax return transcript mailed to you, or to get tax tips and the latest IRS news.
MyTaxRefund -- Track Your Refund Status
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: Another app from TurboTax. You can use it even if you didn't use their software to file your taxes. Connect it to your online Intuit Mint account to be alerted when your refund check is deposited at your bank.
TaxAct Tax Return Status
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: After filing your tax return, download this app and enter some basic information, including your SSN, anticipated refund amount and filing status and the app notifies you when the IRS has received your tax return, when the refund has been approved and an estimated date when the refund will be received.
4. Find an answer
Get instant answers to thousands of tax-related questions organized by category.
BNA Quick Tax Reference
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone, Android
Details: Bloomberg created this handy reference app to put information about standard mileage rates, standard deductions/personal exemptions, retirement plan limits, capital gains and more at your fingertips. In addition to current tax rates, the app also includes rates going back to 2011.
5. Track your expenses
Getting poll results. Please wait...
The IRS requires you to keep business receipts for at least three years, but that can add up to a lot of paper -- not to mention a mess to dig through at tax time. Instead, try an app that lets you use your smartphone's camera to take photos of receipts and create an organized digital record.
N2F Expense Report
Cost: $1.99 (a free trial is available).
Platform: Android
Details: Track business expenses such as receipts and mileage and create a PDF expense report that can be exported to the cloud or shared via email. The app allows you to classify and track expenses by month, project or client. You can also track the status of pending payments.
Cost: Free for up to 10 receipts per month; then 20 cents each
Platform: iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry
Details: In addition to scanning and digitally storing your receipts, this app also lets you track miles and hours worked. You can then email yourself or a tax professional a report of your expenses right from your phone or upload everything to QuickBooks.
6. Track and value
charitable donations
Need help tracking the donations you make throughout the year? Apps can streamline the process, making it easier to itemize your charitable contributions on your tax return.
It's Deductible Donation Tracker
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone
Details: The app, created by TurboTax, allows you to track all of your charitable contributions, including donated items, cash donations and mileage related to volunteer work. If you're not sure how to value the bag of clothes or kitchen gadgets you donated, the app provides resale values of similar items. At tax time, information about your donations can be exported into TurboTax to complete your return.
Winn Schwartau, founder and CEO of The Security Awareness Co., a smartphone security company in Atlanta, shares the following tips on protecting your information and reducing errors when using tax apps:

Forward, not back
In a fundraising email for the DNC just now, Robert Gibbs calls the Republican presidential debate a signal that the GOP's "campaign to defeat Barack Obama and roll back his entire record is well under way." The former White House press secretary outlines a Tony Blair-like, past-versus-future frame for the 2012 campaign:
Fundamentally, last night's debate was about which of their candidates would turn back the clock the farthest.
Story Continued Below
They came out for refighting the battles they lost on Wall Street reform and the health care law. They backed reinstating "don't ask, don't tell."
They even talked about abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency — and phasing out Social Security and Medicare.
They actually spent time debating whether they think Sarah Palin would have made a better vice president than Joe Biden (spoiler alert: They still think so!).
But the words "education" and "middle class" were never uttered even once.
If you were watching at home, you might have thought it was a rerun from four or eight years ago.
Gibbs's email also strikes a funny — if necessary, for fundraising purposes — balance between describing the Republican field as a genuine threat to Obama, and mocking them as "full-time candidates with nothing to lose and nothing to do but keep pushing to take us back to the failed policies of the past."

The one in the picture is blue but the one I have is a grey colour, which looks better than blue...!!!
Anyway, this is nice lightweight machine, giving 900watts of power, that has a handle at the rear with a yellow trigger in the underside of the handle so that it can be easily pulled by the finger. There is plenty of room around the handle so it's great for using whilst wearing gloves. Also, next to the yellow start button, there's a locking button that, when the trigger and this button are pressed together, locks the trigger in the on position, which means you can let go of the trigger and the motor will carry on spinning.
Toward the front there is a yellow front handle/pressure knob, which also acts as the blades depth control, numbering around it in 0.5mm depths. Simply turn this knob one step at a time and away you go.
To the side of the handle there is another yellow plastic 'thing', this is the dust extraction area and is a covering that can be taken off so that a vacuum hose can be attached.
The belt is housed inside a black plastic covering and is easy to get too, using a few screws, if the belt ever needs changing. I used this plane for over two years, on and off, and the belt lasted the entire time, and probably still is, somewhere.
It does exactly what it is designed to do, it planes the edges of the wood and it does it with ease, shaving through with no hassles or snags at all. It has the power and the ability to make you planing job a lot easier.
It may vibrate a bit but not enough to warrant any upset to your hands. The blade itself is as good as any other and, as long as you don't constantly hit any metal nails, it should last you a long time.
The mains cable is a good 2.5 metre so that you're not stuck right next to a plug socket in order to use this, which is nice to know
The cost of this plane was about £40, but some places are selling it for a bit less these days, £20 - £30, which, even for the £40 mark, is good value for what this offers.

Johnny Manziel, the best known player in this draft, remains something of a lightning rod for NFL draft analysts.
Although he's usually referred as one of the top three quarterbacks in this draft along with Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles, there are plenty of skeptics who doubt he will make it big in the NFL.
One of the biggest skeptics is former Eagle quarterback Ron Jaworski, who said this week in a radio interview that he wouldn't draft Manziel on the first three round rounds.
"Manziel may fall. I'm not crazy about him, to be honest with you. I've only looked at five games. I wouldn't take him in the first three rounds. That's my opinion. It's incomplete right now (because he wants to watch him play more games on videotape). But he has not done a whole lot for me,'' he said.
In another interview, Jaworski said, "He's a random quarterback who likes to get out of the pocket and make plays with his legs. In the NFL, he won't last three games playing that style. He took a lot of vicious hits at Texas A@M in the last two years.''
Then there is his off the field persona.
Former coach Barry Switzer is not a fan of his off the field conduct.
"I don't like his antics,'' he said in a radio interview. "I think he's an arrogant little (expletive). I've said that and I'll say it again. He's a privileged kid. He's embarrassed himself. He's embarrassed his teammates, his program. He's embarrassed his coach. And they'll all have to defend him because they have to coach. I know that. I spent 40 years in the game so I know how it works.''
Switzer, though, does like his play on the field.
"He's the most dominant, most dynamic college quarterback I've ever seen,'' he said.
He added, "It's fantastic what he's done against good competition.''
So the debate continues.
It's very unlikely Manziel won't go in the first three rounds despite Jaworski's comments. There are too many teams that need quarterbacks and one of them will gamble on him. He still seems likely to be a top ten pick if not top five.
Meanwhile, Bortles, the only one of the three to throw at the combine, didn't turn many heads with his workout, but had no regrets about not throwing.
"Why wait until Pro Day?'' he said on the Dan Patrick Show." I wanted to take part and compete in every part of him.''
The scouts showed they had done their homework on his personal life. He said multiple teams asked that when they took him out to dinner whether his girlfriend, model Lindsey Duke, would join them.
"If we come to town, will she be there for dinner and stuff like that,'' he said. "They knew (about the girlfriend) going into the meeting. I think that was kinda the angle, how I would react to it.''
For the quarterbacks, the scrutiny never ends.
And since none of them appear to be an Andrew Luck type franchise quarterback, the debate will continue as scouts try to decide where they fit in the draft.

Spain suffered an unusually high death toll in a moderate quake that claimed nine lives in the southeastern city of Lorca on Wednesday, geological experts said.
The magnitude-5.1 quake was "foreseeable in its magnitude and its location", in the quake-prone area, said Tena Davila, geologist and spokesman for Spain's College of Geologists.
Some of the victims and structural damage could be explained by the age of the city of 92,000 inhabitants, which traces its history back 2,000 years and boasts medieval and baroque buildings, he said.
If the tremor had struck in a more modern city complying with latest earthquake requirements, the toll would have been considerably lower, Davila said.
Southeastern Spain is seismologically the most active part of the country, Davila said.
But the tremor was 10,000 times weaker than the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami that devastated northeast Japan on March 11, killing more than 13,000 people and leaving more than 15,000 missing, he said.
Seismologists estimate there is little risk of such a major quake striking Spain, he said.
"Spain is prepared to deal with the seismic risk that matches its development but it is true that we could do a lot better," the geologist said in an interview.
The president of the College of Geologists, Luis Suarez, said the tremor released energy equal to 200 tonnes of TNT.
A quake of this scale should not be strong enough to bring buildings to the ground, and the scale of the damage must have been due to pre-existing structural problems, Suarez said in a statement.

SR (Synchronizing Resources) is a language for writing concurrent programs,
developed in the University of Arizona. The main language constructs are
resources and operations. Resources encapsulate processes and variables
they share; operations provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.
SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking and servicing
operations. Consequently, all local and remote procedure call, rendezvous,
message passing, dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are
supported. SR also supports shared global variables and operations. Has a
nice interface (X11 and xtango).
SR is the predecessor to the MPD programming language, which provides the
same capabilities using different syntax.

Older games = harder games ?

I have to agree with Alrik more than HiddenX. Even in the early days of cRPG's they were familiar to most players: they were all modeled after D&D.
There was no blatant handholding and when there was the game results were miserable. People took time when they played games and Lord help us now if game design requires the player to think and take time. In fact, you can't even let a character die if they're level 1 anymore and that's supposed to be the real dynamic levels. And on that not, I may have contradicted myself and supported HiddenX' point: people who don't play RPG's wouldn't know that.
