Customer Reviews
Still not iWatch user Friendly 🙁
Read some reviews and ended up buying this app to enable recording HR from my iWatch. Spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the settings, but still to no avail. Finally reached out to their support - I believe, the session should be started from the iWatch and not from iPhone in order to record HR. The app doesn't not have any start /stop /resume/end screen - it is supposed to come up by force. After multiple times got it start a session but was not able to end the session, had to turn off the iWatch in order to end the session.
Reached out to the App support with making the app more easy to use.
I was assured that they are working on those enhancements and will be included in their next update. I hope they release the update soon, until then my two star stands.
A Great App, Can Use Watch 3 Alone Without iPhone
I recently started using iSmoothRun after many years using another app. My reason for switching to iSmoothRun was for the great Apple Watch only tracking of runs with my Watch 3 with LTE.
It's great to leave my iPhone at home and use all the robust features of the app on the Apple Watch 3. The developer is devoted to updating the app and is testing and adding a number of features for the Apple Watch only usage such as Run/Walk intervals among other features.
This is a great app with robust features and customization! A must use app for runners using the iPhone and those looking to use only the Apple Watch too.
Great running app that doesn't up-sell
A long-time great running app that respects users and doesn't up-sell subscriptions. There have been some challenges with iOS 11/watchOS 4 but they seem worked out. Fast support from developer to my request—really appreciated since this app isn't bankrolled by a giant sports company like others. (Must starting workout on Watch to get HR sensor). Not a fan of the 3D Touch interface on the Watch, but working well now on watchOS 4 (some sluggishness, but that seems par for Watch).

Ingredient to Love: Blueberries
Blueberries aren't just for breakfast or your favorite muffin recipe. They are amazing little protection powerhouses for the skin, chalk full of antioxidants like bioflavanoids and resveratrol.
This delicious blue fruit was ranked number one in antioxidant activity by the U.S. Department of Agriculture compared to 40 common fruits and vegetables. The antioxidants in blueberries protect you from premature aging, hyperpigmentation and other skin imbalances.
While blueberries will provide your body with these antioxidants when you eat them regularly, you can also use the fruit topically to directly benefit your skin. For example, blueberries are vaso constrictors, which means that they aid in the reduction of redness. This makes them a wonderful ingredient for sensitive skin, acne and rosacea. In addition, blueberries help to balance acneic and oily skin conditions.
This amazing ingredient is the star of our Organic Blueberry Detox Peel at the skincare studio – if you haven't tried this treatment yet – you are missing out!

Appointing Members to Boards and Commissions
MTAS was asked about the appointment process for various boards and agencies of the city.

Mr. Marty Carmichael, City Administrator
City of Sparta
6 Liberty Square, P.O. Box 30
Sparta, Tennessee 38583
Dear Mr. Carmichael,
At the last board meeting there was some discussion and perhaps confusion about the appointment process for various boards and agencies of the city. I have reviewed the Tennessee Code, the municipal charter and ordinances of the city in an effort to clarify the process. Following is a list of boards and commissions and the appointing process:
1. Housing Authority (TCA 13-20-408). Members are appointed by the mayor.
2. Municipal Planning Commission (TCA 13-4-101). All the members of the planning commission, except the member appointed by the board, are appointed by the mayor and serve at the pleasure of the mayor.
3. Board of Zoning Appeals (TCA 13-7-205). The board may specify the mode of appointment of members. The board may designate the planning commission as the board of appeals.
4. Historic Zoning Commission (TCA 13-7-403). Appointed by the mayor, subject to confirmation by the board.
5. Tree Board (Title 2, chapter 4, Section 2-401 of the Municipal Code). The appointment is by the mayor with approval of the board.
6. Industrial Development Board (TCA 7-53-301). Members are elected by the board of mayor and aldermen.
7. E-911 Emergency Communications District (TCA 7-86-105). If the district was created by the county legislative body the appointment is by the county mayor with approval by the county legislative body. If created by the city board, the appointment is by the mayor with approval of the city board.
8. Vacancies of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The charter is silent on filling vacancies. Sid Hemsley, MTAS Senior Legal Counsel, advises that the board has the authority over the appointments of its own members. The board makes the appointment to fill a vacancy on the board. The vice-mayor would assume the duties of the mayor upon a vacancy in the office of the mayor.
9. Planning and coordinating committee required by PC1101. The membership is defined in the statute.
10. Joint Community and Economic Development Board. Appointed as per TCA 6-58-114(C). The Executive committee is appointed by the Joint community and Economic Development Board.
Since the mayor is a member of the board and has a vote, he would vote as a member of the board. Please let me know if you have questions or comments.

Instead of channeling that damning time into a work of art, he's using it to self-destruct.
Oh Chris Brown, oh Chris Brown… After hearing the first single, "Turn up the Music," I was a bit amped about Brown's fifth studio album, but as I listened to it, excitement turned into confusion and into disappointment.
His performance of "Don't Wake Me Up" on the BET Awards was great, the first time in a long time that he has actually sang and danced. I assumed this album to be more on the pop side given its two lead singles, but in short, it's a terrible attempt to be something that he's not.
Brown strives to create a balance, to paint and sell a picture of a bad-ass sex fiend on FORTUNE but I'm not buying it and would like a refund. With a fifth album, sure, the artist can play with all the creativity he can muster, but it still should be within the same brand extension as he started out.
Where's the Chris Brown who produced albums like Exclusive, Graffiti, and F.A.M.E? I understand that, as you grow older and you experience more life, it affects your music, but it seems like ever since that dreaded Grammy night in February 2009, he's trying to prove to the world that he's a good guy and to himself that he's not a bad guy. Yet, instead of channeling that damning time into a work of art, he's using it to self-destruct his great voice that the world fell in love with as soon as he belted out "With You," "Crawl," and "Deuces."
Luckily, FORTUNE is not completely trash, thanks to a few tracks. Produced by the Messingers, "Don't Judge Me" pleads to "let it be beautiful" by not judging each other for past mistakes, which is true because we all, no matter how damned our past was have the ability to change. Featuring hip-hop legend Nas, "Mirage" takes listeners on a ride of façades and illusions. The hip-swaying, slowed-down, Jamaican-style track details a case of a girl infatuated with a guy's image over his words: "A mirage… I'm a mirage (what the fuck I look like)/ It's all in your mind, your mind (the fuck I look like)/ Open your eyes, you're blind."
"Stuck on Stupid" and "4 Years Old" seem to be the connection I was looking for from F.A.M.E. to this album. He's openly admitting the power love takes over him in the former, and reflects on his childhood and how he's had to grow in the latter. "It feels like I'm four years old all over again 'cause I just keep running fast when I should be walking/ Saying when I grow up you gon' see I'm gon' be comfortable and happy/ I'm so alone. I feel so alone, so alone in this world. Got everything I want."
I think Brown should take a note from Usher, who has learned to explore every genre that allows him artistic ability while still maintaining his brand, which is important to any artist. I appreciate the attempt to be different, I suppose, but it's not genuine, honest, or Chris Brown. Try again. D- |Ashley White

Girls' Track - Thompson Valley
The success of last year's Eagles team was no surprise to
coach Matt Norton. "We thought we had a team to compete
for a state championship," he says. He was absolutely right,
as Thompson Valley edged Mullen by 14 points to claim the
Class 4A state crown. The Eagles enter this season as the
team to beat again since the majority of last year's top performers
and point scorers return to help the team repeat.
Senior sisters Liz and Laura Tremblay are two of the team's
biggest contributors. Liz finished fourth in the 200 and
third in the 400 last year and may also run the 800 this season.
"She had an awesome cross country season," Norton
says. "She's a versatile and dangerous athlete. We've
changed her workouts a little to give her more track
strength." Laura won both the 800 and the 1,600 last year
and is the favorite to repeat in both events. "She's as strong
as an ox right now," Norton says. "She's got big goals for the
800, the mile and the two-mile, and she's on target to hit
them."Senior Brooke Regan can compete in events from the
200 through the distance events and will join senior Sierra
Method in relays. Senior high jumper Justine Boddy finished
third at state last year despite injuries, and she hopes
to be healthy enough to compete in the pole vault and
triple jump as well. "She's going to be really dangerous in all
three events," Norton says.
Boys' Track - Longmont
Every track team struggles to replace the points lost by its departed seniors, but Longmont's crowd of up-and-coming stars
should be well-equipped for the task. Senior Daniel Barry, who was fourth in the 400 and sixth in the 100 at last year's 4A state
meet, should challenge for both individual titles this season. So will Junior Aaron Praska, who was seventh in both the 110 and
300 hurdle events. Junior Tevan McIntire's long jump, triple jump and high jump potential is promising.
Girls' Lacrosse - Heritage/Littleton
It took a monumental effort for the Gryphons to beat a highly touted Air Academy team in last year's state semifinal, but the
hard-fought 13-12 win is a sign that Heritage/Littleton can compete with anyone. Attacker Liz Datino, who was second on the
team in goals scored last year with 65, returns as a senior this season. Star sophomore attacker Anna Salemo added 42 for the
Gryphons and could be more productive this year. Sophomore Maddie Hosack, a midfielder, adds depth for the state finalists.
Boys' Lacrosse - Cherry Creek
The Bruins came up just short of the state championship game last year, falling to Fort Collins, 7-6, in the semifinal. This
year, the team looks suited for a run at the state title. Several of the team's All-State participants return, including All-
Colorado senior attacker Michael Beimford, an Ohio State recruit. All-Colorado honorable mention R.C. Willenbrock, a senior
midfielder, will also be a pivotal contributor.
Senior designated hitter Jeff Huffmyer cracked seven home runs for the Wolverines last year.
All-State senior Shelby Williamson, a Kansas recruit, was last year's team defensive MVP.
Senior Christian Treat hopes for a Class 4A state title in the 200 freestyle.
The Demons are led by All-Colorado honorable mention senior Michelle Stripp.

The billions in federal stimulus dollars spent on expanding "green energy" industries and creating "green jobs" have provided a lifeline for U.S. wind and solar companies, but renewable-energy executives are worried that the future will not be as promising.
President Obama frequently points to these wave-of-the-future jobs as one of the substantial achievements of his administration, and wind and solar executives say that the economic stimulus bill turned 2009 into a banner year instead of a catastrophic one for their businesses.
But limited funding in one area, a slow ramp-up in another, prolonged negotiations over loan guarantees and the continuing economic slump have made it difficult for the industry to make the kind of progress Obama and many others had hoped for and imagined. As a result, the president does not appear to have gotten much political credit for new green jobs, despite his many visits to battery, solar and wind facilities aided by the stimulus package.
Adding to the uncertainty, industry officials say their businesses could contract sharply unless a key tax subsidy, set to expire at the end of the year, is extended.
"In the short term, did this recovery program make new jobs in the clean energy sector? I think the answer is yes," said Joshua Freed, director of the clean energy program at the think tank Third Way. "What does that mean when we look back in two or three years? It takes awhile to figure out the conclusion of this story."
The White House, however, has already declared the program an unqualified success. The Council of Economic Advisers issued a report in July that found the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's more than $90 billion in total spending and future tax breaks produced 190,000 "clean energy" jobs in the first quarter of 2010. A recent Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study found that the act's $5.4 billion in investment tax credits have created or saved 50,000 jobs in the renewable sector.
Critics say that the same money could have been used to create more jobs or to produce them faster, but Obama administration officials say the clean energy positions are not the same as other jobs such as road work.
"The recovery act was a diversified portfolio of actions. Some items were designed to be faster but didn't have as much bang for the buck," said Jason Furman, deputy director of the National Economic Council. "These are the types of jobs where they tend to be higher paying. They tend to be longer lasting."
The effectiveness of the stimulus money for energy has varied widely from one basket of money to another.
One highly touted program in the Energy Department's portfolio - a loan guarantee program for renewable energy projects - has shrunk from $6 billion to $2.4 billion. The White House directed 60 percent of the funding to unrelated areas, such as an education measure and the "Cash for Clunkers" incentive for people to replace old vehicles.
The Energy Department also needed time to gear up; the $32.7 billion it was charged with handing out is substantially more than its previous annual budgets. With spending deadlines approaching, the department has picked up its pace of grant- and loan-making, shoveling $8.2 billion out the door in September, according to department officials, much of it to state and local governments for energy efficiency programs.
Before the recovery act, the Energy Department did not have a loan guarantee office. It has hired 200 employees and contractors. But Rhone A. Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said that many companies have waited 19 months for decisions.
By contrast, a program that provides wind and solar projects with cash instead of tax credits has been a huge success. Before the economic slump in late 2008, financial institutions provided most of the capital for those projects and used the tax credits worth 30 percent of costs. Now wind farm developers, who often don't have the earnings to offset the tax credits, have been turning to the Treasury for grants of equal value as allowed under the recovery act.
Large and small firms have benefited. The program steered $975 million to Spain-based Iberdrola Renewables for 13 wind projects operating in nine states. It also funneled $15,964 to the Grumpy Troll Brewery, Restaurant and Pizzeria in Mount Horeb, Wis., so the brewpub could install 38 solar panels on its roof.
Don Furman, Iberdrola's senior vice president, said the decision to offer companies the option of a cash payment rather than a tax credit kept it from shutting down several operations in the United States.
"This literally saved the industry," Furman said, adding that wind producers could no longer sell their tax credits on Wall Street as they had in the past.
NextEra Energy, the nation's largest wind developer, used the grant program, or convertible investment tax credit, for 93 percent of the 985 megawatts of wind power it built in 2009.
"It's difficult to put an exact number on how many more megawatts we built as a result as a result," said company spokesman Randolph Clerihue, "but we definitely put more steel in the ground than we would have without it."
The program helped wind projects continue apace in 2009, and has led to a significant increase in solar installations over the next two years. But the U.S. wind industry is contracting this year and is expected to be slow in 2011, Furman said, "partly because nobody knows what's going to happen when this program expires."
Without legislation mandating a national renewable energy standard for utilities or limits on greenhouse gases, experts say, it remains unclear whether wind and solar energy - still small compared with fossil fuels - will make meaningful inroads into the nation's energy market.
Nonetheless, as Obama has campaigned in recent weeks, he has touted these programs as one of the main ways he is helping Americans get back to work. When asked in Des Moines what his policies will do in the next year to help an unemployed church congregant "secure a job and have that American dream again," the president cited a wind turbine maker in Fort Madison, Iowa, that had received stimulus funds. Noting that the business had converted a shuttered factory, Obama said it had "just hired several hundred people and were looking at hiring several hundred more because they are seeing some certainty in the renewable energy industry."
Last week he told a Seattle resident during one of his backyard chats that because of the recovery act's investment in advanced car battery technology, the U.S. global share of this high-tech market should rise from 2 percent to 40 percent by 2015.
"That shows you how fast we can turn things around if we're making good, smart, strategic investments," Obama said.
The list of recipients varies. One official compared it to planting seeds without knowing which ones will flourish. Cree of Durham, N.C., the leading U.S. manufacturer of solid state lighting, received $39 million under the advanced energy manufacturing tax credit to expand capacity and lower production costs for LED chips use in lights. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center received $24.7 million from the Energy Department to construct a facility capable of testing wind blades up to 90 meters in length; blades that long can only be tested overseas now. Several large companies, including Florida's NextEra and CenterPoint Energy of Houston, have received $200 million each to install smart meters.
Critics of the stimulus, however, question whether the money was the most effective way to create jobs. Andrew Morris, a University of Alabama law professor and senior fellow at the Montana-based Property and Environment Research Center, said neither side of the debate has proved whether this sort of federal spending does or does not sustain long-term employment.
"We don't have any studies, they don't have any studies, so I'd say we don't spend a hundred billion before we have any studies," Morris said, adding that it's not a surprise that stimulus funds had created jobs. "The question is, what else would have happened to the money, how many jobs would have been created otherwise?"
But the administration sees it differently. "What it's proving is clean-energy investments are ready for prime time," said Cathy Zoi, assistant secretary for the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "This is the single largest investment in clean energy this country's ever had. It is a critical downpayment on a transition to a clean energy economy."

Hello, I understand operating within budget constraints and we all do what we can to stay UAF strong. I would like to suggest that a message go out to employees as to the conditions of the parking lots so that we may make informed decisions as to working from home or deciding where to safely park. I would feel a valued UAF employee had I received a courtesy message.
An estimated three inches of snow fell in Fairbanks yesterday due to another winter storm, according to the National Weather Service. This precipitation, in addition to the more than one foot of snow received last week, created a tremendous burden on snow removal efforts on the Fairbanks campus. While Facilities Services crews work to maintain roads, stairs and walkways continuously, they have also cleared parking lots from West Ridge to the campus core. Snow removal will continue across campus tonight and throughout the weekend.
The following parking lots are cleared as of Jan. 6: West Patty, Student Recreation Center, Ballaine, Butrovich, Chapman, Copper Lane, Biological Research and Diagnostics Facility, Virology Lab, Irving, West Arctic Health, Fine Arts, Brooks, Duckering, Forestry, along with lots near the Moore-Bartlett-Skarland complex and Cutler Apartments.
By Monday, Jan. 9, the Haida lot and Ambler Lane will be cleared and, possibly, the Power Plant and Wood Center roundabout.
Taku and Nenana lots will not be cleared until later because many vehicles were parked in those lots over the winter break and remain there.
Nine Facilities Services employees are working around the clock to ensure the campus is cleared of snow. The removal process has taken more time than expected due to strong winds, more snow and equipment breakdowns. Thank you for your patience.
For more information, please feel free to call the Customer Service Center at UAF Facilities Services at x7000.
— Karrah Hearns, UAF Facilities Services customer service manager

Fabulous Fig, Creamy Coral, Cozy Coral
I've been on a bit of a makeup binge lately. I tossed out a ton of products recently and after doing so it became clear that my collection was foundation/eyeshadow heavy but terribly lacking in the lip department. I took that as an opportunity to explore some new colors that were lacking in my collection. I've been into corals lately so I picked up a few of my new ALL TIME FAVORITE lipstick, Revlon's Colorstay in Cozy Coral. On me it looks like a nude coral, with just the right amount of almost sheer color, perfect for everyday wear. Creamy Coral is a close second, and is more of what you would think of a coral lipstick looking like. On the rec of Youtube Guru Xteeener I also picked up the fig color, which she sold as a wearable red but on me (NC25) it looks more like a plum than a red, but still very wearable and is growing on me.
It's a bit pricey at almost $10 for one (which for a drugstore brand I think is a lot!) but I picked these up at Ulta for about $5 each. They're running a buy 2 get 1 free promo on Revlon products and I had a $5 coupon (available on their website) so for $5 each, these are an awesome deal. I will definitely be stocking up on more of these!

You are here: Help with my childcare costs
Childcare can be expensive but there is help available towards the costs of childcare. This guide covers the various support options that may be available to you. For information about the additional support available if your child has a special educational need or disability, check our 'Guide to childcare for children with special educational needs and disabilities in England'.
Working tax credit
Working Tax Credit and Universal Credit are paid to people in work to top up low wages. Working Tax Credit is gradually being phased out and replaced by Universal Credit.
Working Tax Credit can include a childcare element, which gives help to parents with childcare costs. The childcare element of Working Tax Credit can pay up to 70% of eligible childcare costs up to set weekly amounts.
Eligible childcare costs are set at £175 per week for one child and £300 per week for two children. This means you could receive up to £122.50 per week with one child in childcare, or £210 for two or more children. The amount you are awarded will depend on your family circumstances.
To be able to claim the childcare element of Working Tax Credit, you must:
- be aged from 16 to 24 and have a child or a qualifying disability, or be 25 or over, with or without children
- use registered childcare; and
- be working at least 16 hours per week. If you are part of a couple, you must both be working at least 16 hours per week. If one of you is in hospital, prison, incapacitated or on Carers Allowance, the other parent must work at least 16 hours per week.
For all enquiries about tax credits including details on who can claim and any change in circumstances you need to inform the Tax Credits office about, visit: www.gov.uk/working-tax-credit/overview or call the Tax Credit Helpline on 0345 300 3900.
Universal credit
Universal Credit is a new benefit paid to people who are not working or working to top up low wages. It will gradually replace a number of benefits, including Working Tax Credit.
Universal Credit can include a childcare element, which gives help to parents with registered childcare costs. The childcare element of Universal Credit can pay up to 85% of eligible childcare costs up to set weekly amounts.
Eligible childcare costs are set at a monthly limit of £760.42 for one child and £1303.57 for two or more children. This means you could receive up to £646.35 per month with one child in childcare, or £1108.04 for two or more children. The amount you are awarded will depend on your family circumstances.
To be able to claim the childcare element of Working Tax Credit, you must:
- use registered childcare
- be in paid work. If you are part of a couple, both members of that couple have to be in paid work. There is an exception to this where one member of the couple is not working and is unable to provide childcare themselves because they are incapacitated, a carer, or absent from the household
For all enquiries about universal credit including details on who can claim and any change in circumstances you need to inform, go to www.gov.uk/apply-universal-credit or call the Universal Credit helpline on 0345 600 0723.
Childcare vouchers
Many employers offer help to their employees through childcare vouchers. These are provided to you by your employer (often through a childcare voucher company), and you can use these to pay for some of your childcare. Your childcare provider claims the value of these back from your employer or the voucher company. Parents receiving childcare vouchers can save up to £55 per week if they are basic rate taxpayers.
If your employer offers these, you may be able to make savings through a reduction in the amount of tax and National Insurance Contributions (NIC) you pay on your childcare costs. Your employer also saves on NIC.
Childcare vouchers will be phased out from 2018 and if you are planning to have more children, it is worth getting advice on the merits of entering the voucher scheme.
Tax-free childcare
Tax Free Childcare will be introduced in 2017. Parents will be able to set up an online account where they can bank payments for childcare. For each £8 a parent pays in, the Government will add an additional £2 up to a maximum of £2,000 per year per child. Families of disabled children receive help with their childcare costs to a maximum of £4,000 per year.
Tax Free Childcare is being rolled out gradually and will eventually cover all families with children under 12, if they meet the required work and income criteria. There will be an upper income limit per parent of £100,000 to qualify, and a minimum weekly income level per parent equivalent to 16 hours worked at the National Living Wage.
Free childcare and education
Some two year olds and all three and four year olds are entitled to free early education and childcare. Early learning and childcare gives children the chance to explore the world around them, make friends, socialise, and be ready for school. It also gives parents a chance to work, study, get things done at home or just have a break.
There are different systems for early education in England, Scotland and Wales.
Some two year olds and all three and four year olds in England can get 570 hours of free childcare, the equivalent of 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year. From September 2017, some three and four years olds will be entitled to an additional 15 hours per week for 38 weeks of the year.
Some nurseries may allow parents to spread fewer hours a week across the whole year. The free hours can be used at most schools and nurseries in the private and voluntary sector, or with a registered childminder.
Parents should not be charged for these free hours. Parents cannot be forced to take up additional hours, or pay for extras but you can choose to pay for more time if you need it.
Eligibility for three and four year olds: All children can take up 15 free hours in the term following their third birthday. From September 2017, three and four year olds will be entitled to 30 hours of free childcare if:
- both their parents, or one parent in a lone parent household, are in work
- and each parent earns at least the equivalent of 16 hours work at national minimum wage and less than £100,000 per year
Eligibility for two year olds: Parents can take up these free hours if your family is claiming specific benefits such as Disability Living Allowance or certain tax credits and have an annual salary of £16,190 or less. Two year olds are also entitled to a place if they're looked after by a local council, have left care (under a special guardianship order, child arrangements order or adoption order) or they have a current statement of special education needs (or an education health and care plan).
To check whether your child is eligible for a place or if you need further advice or information about the free places, speak to your local authority Family Information Service.
Some two year olds and all three and four year olds in Scotland can get 570 hours of free childcare per year, the equivalent of 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year. By 2020, all three and four year olds will be entitled to 1140 hours per year of early education.
All three and four year olds are eligible for this early learning and care. Some two year olds will be eligible if:
- they are looked after under a kinship care order, or with a parent appointed guardian
- their parent is in receipt of Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance (income based), Employment and Support Allowance (income based), Incapacity or Severe Disablement Allowance, or State Pension Credit.
All three and four year olds in Wales can get 10 hours a week of free early education for 38 weeks a year.
In future, working parents of 3 and 4 year olds in Wales will be able to get 30 hours a week of free early education and child for 48 weeks of the year. Parents in some pilot areas will already be able to get this. Contact your Family Information Service to find out whether it is on offer in your area.
In some areas, two year old children will also be able to get 12.5 hours per week of early education for 39 week a year. Contact your Family Information Service to find out whether it is on offer in your area.

LONDON (AFP) – The BBC was in turmoil on Sunday after its director-general dramatically quit over a broadcast by the British broadcaster's flagship news show that wrongly accused a politician of child sex abuse.
George Entwistle's departure — after just two months in the job — plunges the BBC into fresh crisis after it was engulfed by a scandal surrounding Jimmy Savile, the late BBC star now alleged to have been a prolific sex offender.
"The wholly exceptional events of the past few weeks have led me to conclude that the BBC should appoint a new leader," Entwistle said in a televised statement outside the broadcaster's London headquarters late Saturday.
"To have been the director-general of the BBC even for a short period, and in the most challenging of circumstances, has been a great honour."
The 50-year-old's leadership is the shortest in the BBC's history.
Entwistle announced his resignation the day after the BBC's flagship news programme Newsnight was forced to apologise for wrongly implicating a senior Conservative party figure in abuse at a Welsh children's home in the 1970s.
The director-general said that although he had not been aware of last week's Newsnight report before it was aired, quitting was "the honourable thing to do" since he was editor-in-chief, and ultimately responsible for all BBC output.
He had earlier said he would not resign unless asked to do so by the corporation's governing body, the BBC Trust.
"I am doing the right things to try and put this stuff straight," he insisted in an interview on BBC radio.
Tim Davie, a former Pepsi executive who is currently the BBC's director of audio and music, will take over immediately as acting director-general.
Earlier on Saturday, Entwistle had said it was "fundamentally wrong" of Newsnight to air an interview with a man claiming he was repeatedly abused at a children's home in the 1970s by a senior Conservative politician.
The programme did not identify the politician, but he was widely named on the Internet as former Tory party treasurer Alistair McAlpine, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher.
McAlpine went public on Friday to strongly deny the allegations, and in a serious blow to Newsnight's prestigious reputation his accuser Steve Messham then retracted his claims, saying McAlpine was a victim of mistaken identity.
Culture minister Maria Miller welcomed Entwistle's decision to quit.
"It is a regrettable but the right decision," she said. "It is vital that credibility and public trust in this important national institution is restored."
But Newsnight anchor Jeremy Paxman, famed in Britain for his forthright style, said Entwistle had been "brought low by cowards and incompetents".
"I had hoped that George might stay to sort this out. It is a great pity that a talented man has been sacrificed," he said.

E.ON has become the first UK energy supplier to react to falling wholesale prices by announcing an average 3.5% cut in gas tariffs from today.
The firm, which has 4.5 million household customers, said the move is equivalent to £24 off the average annual gas bill, or two weeks' gas use.
E.ON UK chief executive Tony Cocker said Labour's proposed "price freeze" meant the company was "undoubtedly taking a risk" by cutting tariffs.

A lot of people assume that anything with "salad" in the name is healthy, nutritious, and diet-friendly. While there are plenty of healthy salad recipes on the market, not all salads are created equal. In fact, there are a number of not-so-healthy salads out there that you may want to avoid if you're counting calories and trying to stay fit. Let's take a closer look at this controversial food item so you can make sure you are eating the right type of salad for your dietary goals.
What Is A "Salad"?
In America, we traditionally associate the term "salad" with a bowl of lettuce, topped with dressing, croutons, fruits, nuts, or other vegetables. However, a "salad" is any food item that consists of small pieces of food mixed with dressing, sauce, or similar covering. Good examples of other types of salads include macaroni salad, potato salad, and fruit salad. Most of these do not have the same nutritional benefits of a common green salad.
Not-So-Healthy Salad Ingredients To Watch For
Here are some common salad ingredients that won't do your waistline any good:
- Heavy Salad Dressings (Ranch is a prime example – check the calories!)
- Croutons
- Mayonnaise (Used as a base in many non-lettuce salads and heavy salad dressings)
- Cheese
- Bacon Pieces
- Breaded Chicken
Considering the options above, a traditional Cobb Salad is far from a healthy food option, even if it looks healthy on the surface. This is what you have to watch out for when you determine what you want to eat. The green leafs in the background don't necessarily indicate that it's a good mean for you.
Healthy Alternatives To Unhealthy Salad Ingredients
Want to indulge in a tasty salad without filling your body with hard-to-burn calories? Check out these healthy alternative salad ingredients:
- Nuts (Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios add crunch and protein to a salad without the high-calorie impact of bread)
- Pretzels (Great if you need to add a salty taste to your salad)
- Vinaigrettes (Try making your own. It's easy!)
- Dried Fruits (Raisins, dried cranberries, etc.)
- Low Calorie Cheeses (Opt for Parmesan instead of cheddar, bleu cheese instead of mozzarella)
- Grilled Chicken
Test out different combinations of ingredients to get unique flavors from every meal. That's the best part about making a salad – you can add whatever you want!

Spelthorne School
Spelthorne Primary School in Middlesex recently amalgamated with its Junior School partners next door. The change has meant a complete review of their CCTV and access control needs. With more children now at the new school and more staff it required a new approach to their security requirements. The school now has hundreds of visiting pupils, parents each day, plus the all important teaching and support staff. Welfare and security is critical front and back of school twenty four seven.
When the school asked EPOS Group Security Solutions to review their CCTV and access control system needs over the entire school we were glad to help. Our knowledge of the security systems sector gave us a great opportunity to distill our expertise and help develop their security requirements.
As a result of this consultation, EPOS Group Security Solutions were commissioned to install a school wide CCTV system linked between both sites and available on the network. The CCTV components use very high resolution vandal-proof domes with infra red for night view with over 30 days worth of footage available in order to review past incidents.
In addition to this, the access control system EPOS Group Security Solutions installed gives far greater security into the building, with all external and public doors and car park barrier connected to the network allowing entry via proximity fob or via intercom.
Some of the key elements with Spelthorne School's decision to go with Gowlands include:
CCTV Cameras systems with low lux and IR for low lighting
Multiple security systems front and back of school
HR Workstation Access Control for Staff
CCTV Cameras including discreet, vandal dome external
Actual design and specification of CCTV systems
Assistance is camera locations to aid security
CCTV monitoring
Digital recorders, multiplexers & control systems for CCTV

Thanks for your help with this Antman. I am now able to load 32 bit but it still will not allow 64 bit to load? If I'm not mistaken Virtual PC 2007 does sopport 64 Bit operating systems does it not? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, just not sure what.

I can be an idiot and fail to read thoroughly. See Virtual PC 2007 Release Notes . It says no support for 64 bit guest. Your CPU is 64 bit. Your virtual CPU is not.
Get Sun VirtualBox version 3.xxxx. Free. Supports 64-bit guests - no matter what some might tell you.

I'll Tell you what, I feel stupid if I had just taken the time to read...now I need to find a 32 bit load of Vista as all I have is a 64 bit disk. My 64 bit license should be good for 32 bit should it not? As lond as it is loaded only as one machine?
So the sun software works pretty well, the only other Virtual software I have played with a little is in Windows 2008 server.

Is it necessary for you to run both Win 7 and Vista simultaneously, or do you only ever work in one at a time?

For the most part I have been trying to avoid Vista as much as possible, I need to take a test for Vista so I was trying to load it in VM for the test.
I purchased this computer with 64-bit Vista and hated it, so I went back to XP 64-bit within just a few days. I am now running Win 7 RC and really like it so far. I just hate to spend any more on Vista than I already have.

Of all of the free virtualization packages, for home use I tend to like VirtualBox the best. Second would be VMWare Server. I use VMWare pretty much exclusively at work..but that is to maintain the best compatibility between our VMWare Server, ESX and ESXi hosts. I feel that both VMWare Server and VirtualBox have FAR BETTER support for Linux guests...which I probably use more than anything else.
While I have had all 3 products (VMware Server, Virtual PC 2007 and Virtual Box) installed on the same host computer at one time....I've also experienced some strange and complicated network issues that only resolved themselves after uninstalling all 3 and settling on 1. This was on my work laptop...so the product I settled on there was VMWare Server 2.0.

I have an XP HTPC in Vbox that plays on the second monitor. My beautiful wife watches streaming video from the Philippines on it. Using an ATI Remote Wonder Plus, she effectively has a free standing machine.
VirtualXP was a total wash for this. Only basic video capability - it was ugly to watch.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I ended up installing the sun VM. It seems to work pretty good so far though, I am having issues getting Server 2008 to load for some reason (still playing with it).
Another stupid question, do I still perform windows updates, service packs, Virus programs, etc. for each VM?

LightBulb Moments….
As Christians we often get "discouraged" or "hurt" by the words or actions of others, and based on those very "words and action" we then determine our behaviour towards these people. Their actions determine our actions. Their words determine our words. And it doesn't matter how right we consider this, it isn't. The reference point for our actions as Christians is never the individual, never society and it's norms; never the government and it's charms.
Colossians 3:23 orchestrates this point by explaining how we are too act and behave; "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men". Two points here and very key ones (a) In whatever we do, whatever manner or capacity we are to do it "heartily", that is genuinely, warmly, sincerely. The second point (b) is that in determining our actions and words, we are to do them as if it's unto Jesus Christ Himself. So HE is our reference point, not them! That's sobering.
The scary part is that as much as we may try downplay this verse, or deceive ourselves in our actions towards others; Colossians 3:24-25 makes clear God's position – HE will JUDGE righteously and our actions and words will not escape.
"Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is NO RESPECT OF PERSONS."
With God, WRONG IS WRONG, Child of God or NOT!

Overview Spring restaurant is set in the heart of Somerset House and the atrium inside the restaurant has six large black olive trees (Bucida buceras) along with vines and grasses. The Idea was to create a garden feeling, although the atrium sits indoors under glass. The choice of planting and design of the walls and planters – all of which was created by Jinny Blom – has given the restaurant a unique dining experience. Spring brings warmth and elegance within a beautiful dining space set in the New Wing of the iconic Somerset House. In spring, food is celebrated for its conviviality and the joyfulness of sharing seasonal produce. The cooking is wholesome, produce driven and cooked by a team of people who are passionate about what they do and who feel truly privileged to work with beautiful ingredients. They hope to create an experience that lingers in the memory.
Judges' comments This installation has been achieved despite presenting a difficult environment for plants. Those chosen for the draughty corridor area approaching the main restaurant are coping well with the conditions, and the black olive trees in the restaurant are doing very well. Climbers are being trained to go over the atrium roof with the help of large hazel sticks. All planters have casters, enabling the larger specimens to be moved with ease. Although the restaurant area covers a relatively small space, the effect created by the plants is beautiful.

text: Extracting meaning from a rapid and complex speech signal begins as a challenging task, exacerbated by the declines in hearing ability and cognitive function that frequently occur in normal aging. How does the brain successfully decode speech under conditions of auditory and cognitive challenge? Does added auditory challenge influence our ability to process linguistic information? I will discuss behavioral and neuroimaging evidence regarding the neural substrates of these processes, framing them in terms of a brain-based model of speech comprehension. Evidence from multiple sources is consistent with a shared resource framework of speech comprehension in which domain-general cognitive processes supported by discrete regions of frontal cortex are required for both auditory and linguistic processing. The specific areas of neural activity depend on the difficulty of the speech being heard and the hearing and cognitive ability of the listeners.

In my opinion the TV-series "How the West Was Won" is the greatest western
ever made straight to TV. The cast is superb with James Arness (Zeb
in the lead and Bruce Boxleitner (Luke Macahan) co-starring.
I've now been watching all the episodes of this western on Swedish television for the third time (1978, 1989 and 2000). The quality of this series is how it's being able to get the grip of the viewer in such a fashion that not even a frontrunner like Gunsmoke can compete with "How the West Was Won".
This TV-series is/was truly excellent ! It is interesting, fun and
exciting. The characters are all watch-able ; Zeb, Luke, Laura, Aunt
Molly, Hillary and Mr.Beasley. :-) The actors all do a great job.
The main title (theme) is terrific and I wish somebody would post a link to somewhere on the web, where it can be obtained/purchased. I can only seem to find the soundtrack for the original movie (1963) and NOT the TV-mini (1978)...
I saw the show for the first time when I was 10 - so that doesn't count. :-) he he However, I saw it again last year and now that I'm thirty-something, I still think it's a tremendous show ! :-)
I recommend the show to anybody, although obviously some parts may be a little scary for small children.
All in all, one of the greatest (mini) TV-series ! :-)
How the west was won, was sendt on tv in Norway in they early
I'v never forgot it, and has waited and waited for a rerun, or that dvd's
vhs's should show up in the stores. Can't wait to see it again, but so far
my wish has not come thru.
I had like most of the girls in Norway, a hugh crush on Luke and Wolf Paw!
And the week could'nt go fast enough, waiting for the next
My highest wish for the future is that the whole series will be released
dvd, so I can buy it and see it as much as i want to.
And I know that many in Norway would agree with me, we never forgot the
Macahans, and saturday night on tv has'nt been the same
Few shows (mini-series) except for "Centennial" have depicted the gritty realism of the west as well as How The West Was Won. Jim Arness brought the character of Zeb Macahan to life / bigger, rougher and tougher than Matt Dillon could have ever hoped to be. I have the entire multi-season mini series, including the premiere movie, on 15 year old VHS tapes that are losing their quality. I wish the series would be released on DVD in a boxed set. Gunsmoke has been released, and considering some of the awful shows that HAVE been released I don't know why they don't. Does anyone know the status of this situation? I would like to find out who produced the series and perhaps recommend that there is a large audience out there for this kind of DVD release. Perhaps Jim Arness' website could help.
I agree with everyone else, excellent show. Considering some of the
crap that they put on DVD, I am very disappointed that this mini-series
is not available.
Best Mini-Series of all time in my opinion. I saw it 20 years ago and would buy it in a second if it came out on DVD. I just hope it wouldn't be like watching Billy Jack 15 years later. Oh....my....God, did I really think that was good the first time around? I was only a teenager when I first watched "The West" but my parents and my brothers all really enjoyed it too. We all thought it depicted the west how it really was, not as one of those phony westerns that are common to the big screen.
I remember watching this mini-series when it was first aired in the late
70's as a child. While I enjoyed the original tv movie THE MACAHAN'S" and
the 78 & 79 mini-series which followed I still find the 77 mini-series to
be the best one. I used to get goosebumps when I would hear the opening
title song accompanied by William (Cannon) Conrad's narration.
First there is Zeb Macahan, a huge mountain man that does things as he sees fit. If it means standing against the Union Army or taking the law into his own hands he has got to be the coolest character on the show. I also was saddened when Zeb had to kill his trapper friend Cully Madigan to prevent him from being slain by Indians. I think my favorite line in the series comes from Zeb during the final moments of the series when Grey the bounty hunter is trying to take Luke to jail. Zeb, while under gun point by Grey, turns to him and says "Grey, I'm gonna lay hands on you and then it's gonna be all over!!" Nothing fazed this man.
Secondly I enjoyed the romance between Luke Macahan and Erika Hanks, the young lady that helped heal Luke's gunshot wound and hide him form his various pursuers. It unfolds in a believable way and the fate of their relationship will have the viewer near tears.
Lastly, the sets were all well done. It appears that most if not all the scenes were shot on location and not some studio back lot. I can only imagine what a visual treat it must have been like to work on the production of this mini-series.
I was luck enough to tape this series during the late 80's and still enjoy watching it at least once a year. Hopefully this mini-series and the other HTWWW series will find their way to DVD soon!!
I feel sorry for those of you who missed the adventures of Zeb and his
family. Zeb (Arness) is the greatest man ever walked the screen. Josh is
little boy who never got to do anything. He is getting slapped around of
different sorts of people.
Luke is the handsome longhaired young stud who travels the west, facing problems proving to be the nephew of Zeb. Laura is the kid sister who just loves everything and everyone.
Laura is the oldest sister whose eyes starts to glow every time a man passes the macahan ranch. She is every feminist worst nightmare, hence she characterais the beutiful but week woman who just waits for a man to fulfill her dreams.
In summary, this is the greatest show ever broadcasted. Here in sweden nightclubs were forced to close when macahans was aired. Everybody was sitting at home watching it at saturday nights. more than half the swedish population that is. Just order the tapes and enjoy.
This must be the best ever series made for TV. I have for years been looking for this to come on video or DVD, but with no luck in finding it as yet. I am not giving up hope, though, as I have just read that it is obviously very popular still. I watched it in Norway about 25 years ago when I was only about 14, but I still remember the series very clearly. I absolutely love it and hope that there will be a box set made with the entire collection of episodes from "The Macahans" and "How The West Was Won" and the films. It must be the best ever western series, with the actor James Arness as the perfect man for the job. All the actors are brilliant and really drags you into the story. A must have for all western fans all over the planet. Brilliant!!!
This was the greatest western ever made. I just recently found all 25 episodes, on DVD in the order they were made. I could not believe the quality, of the disc's. I watched all 50 or so hours non-stop, I have no clue why they stopped after the 1979 season. From the very first episode you are drawn in, to this great mini series, all the way up to the very last episode. It will continue to keep you guessing all the way through to the very last one. After you are done with all 25 parts you will wish they produced more. Zeb Macahan was by far the best, very fair and honest, until you do something to him or his family.
This was one of my all time favourites. It is where I fell in love with
The acting was suburb. The one scene that stands out for me was when Fiona was either being raped or sexually harassed. She had that look on her face that showed a multitude of emotions: fear, indignation (how dare you), and that she was flattered (thinking she was beyond the age that someone would think her attractive).
The other episode I remember was when Bruce's sister in the show was stung by a Bee and almost died. This was when I first realized that people could be allergic to Bee stings.
Why, Why is this not out on DVD yet? It is only 2 seasons. I'd love for it to also have plenty of interviews with Cast & crew. And to see how Bruce fell in love and married his first wife was interesting, considering they were brother & sister on the show.
Please bring this out on DVD soon.

"Our course gives participants a chance to develop healthy creative habits and share their progress with a kind and supportive group of women." She adds, "The thing I enjoy most about the course is the fun we have each week. We push through some major creative blocks, but we're laughing all the way!"
In the course, participants will discover how to dispel creative blocks like perfectionism and fear of criticism, explore ways to incorporate creativity into everyday life, and learn to nurture their ideas into fruition. The course will provide a supportive environment for women interested in any artistic medium (visual, literary, music, dance, etc.), and at any level of experience. Classes will meet at Summerglen Music in Raleigh every Tuesday evening from 7-8:30pm, from June 2 to July 28, and are designed for women ages 18 and older. Cost for the 8-week course is $160 and includes workbook, snacks, and 8 weeks of creative activities. Register by calling Christina at (919) 395-7605 or by visiting http://www.summerglen-music.com/creativity.php.
