About 5 years ago there was this push for netbooks as being a nice little easy to take with you computer. ...Summary: I really like this little computer for most tasks.
About 5 years ago there was this push for netbooks as being a nice little easy to take with you computer. These were stripped down "WinTel" laptops without an optical drive. I tried two of them and my general experience was that they were portable, but so under powered from a computer viewpoint that I got tired of dragging them to wifi hotspots. Just a quick summary of human factors - this chromebook is light - the keyboard is easy to type on - the trackpad is easy to use - and the battery runs for 5+ hours. I don't have to charge it any more than a typical cell phone.
So when this device came out, it sort of broke that mold, but in a good way. I was a little afraid based on my previous experience as to this basically using a "Smart Phone" CPU, whether it would be slow as well, but the usage of a solid state drive (SSD) (as opposed to a platter based drive) gave me enough confidence to take the jump. I was hoping it would be sort of like "low end MacAir". And I think it does meet that criteria for about 20% of the equivalent apple cost.
One of the most important things with any computer is how well does it play with the peripherals. I was scared with a new operating system that this would be a weak point. Obviously the first and primary one is to the internet with a "cloud based" computer. I've connected the device to several different wireless routers and hot spots and never any trouble there. Of course a failure on this front would make this device Dead On Arrival (DOA).
So I connected several storage devices that I had used on PCs and Macs (USB sticks, and SD cards, and external hard disks) - everyone of them worked with no trouble. So even though you only have a little bit of storage on the actual computer, you can have lots of extra external storage. Things to note here, there is an "App" called "Files" that will show you all the files that are stored locally or in the "cloud" (e.g. "Google Drive"). If you bring some external storage to the party (e.g external disk, flash disk or SD card), you will find it here. One time I was copying music files to the local disk and accidentally sent it to the cloud disk. I then re-discovered the fact that on most internet connections the uplink is much slower than the downlink. This isn't a problem with the computer, but just something to keep in mind, if you decide you want to copy over a load of data to a cloud based drive, it may take a good long time!
I've been using "Google Docs" (recently renamed "Drive") for years, so no troubles figuring this part out. I really do like being able to access certain files from any computer on to which I've logged on. There are certain things I am just more comfortable where I am more comfortable using MS office 2003, but that is with complicated multi-tab spreadsheets. Note Office 2007 and 2010, etc are just plain painful to use. Having been using MS office products for 2 decades, the change in the user interface is just down right irritating, and I will never spend any more $ on that product line due to the complete lack of respect for the user or backward compatibility. I am happy with google docs or open office which retain the user interface that MS created and discarded. I haven't even tried, but I suspect if you wanted to create a movie or do some serious photoshop work - this will not be the computer for you. Go grab your high end Mac.
(e.g. Desktop Apps (e.g. not in a browser))
This was one of the main things that sold me on this computer versus a completely cloud based computer. The ability to do some things without internet access.
For Google Docs - currently only the word processor and chart maker work off line. So no spreadsheets in the Outback or on most planes. There are a few other applications that exist outside of the "browser window" if you miss that sort of thing. There is a "calculator" and "scratch pad". There are probably other things floating around in the google play store, but I haven't gone looking extensively. Note that this is a completely different operating system (not windows, mac or linux) so sometimes when you view a website - and they try to figure out what sort of application fits your machine - it gets sort of interesting - usually they guess its some version of linux so you end up with these "tar" or "crx" files.
You can look through photos and listen to music without internet access. It's not obvious because you won't see a picture viewer or music player in the application list. But from the file application - which presents a directory like structure if you hit a picture (*jpg) or music (*mp3) file the correct program will show you the photo or play the song.
Note that skype doesn't currently work on this platform - but Google Hangouts works just fine as a replacement and you can have a whole family get together (4 locations) without any additional charge.
I connected several two button USB mice to the computer and it makes it a lot easier to use. I can get by with the trackpad - which works fine - but for any sort of serious computer work - I still like the mouse. I do have a hard time getting the "right mouse" click to be recognized on the trackpad. You are supposed to hold down two fingers for a little bit to the the "contextual" menu.
I connected a large TV set with the HDMI connector and that worked pretty well. I was able to watch a amazon video just fine. There were a few cases where the on screen motion was very quick that the graphics couldn't keep up and got a little pixelated. So if you want to watch action movies you may have trouble. Netlfix doesn't seem to work, since it uses the MS "flash" equivalent. Well let me take that back I just went and opened up netflix to get the name of the missing driver and it is now working. So if you like to watch videos - I think it supports most services (netflix, vudu, youtube).
You can certainly play any of the music systems on the internet here, I guess iTunes would be excluded, due to it's basic nature of being a windows/mac application, and the ongoing fight between google and apple to be digital content distributors. I have used grooveshark, the amazon MP3 player, google MP3 player and the actual resident chromebook player with no trouble. I actually sit the chromebook on top of the stereo sometimes and connect the headphone jack and it runs for hours with no troubles. If you really really feel compelled to get something "ITunes like", there is an android phone app called "DoubleTwist", but I think it needs a windows laptop to run. While I have a retro 30 GB iPod at home, for the most part I stream music from one of the services above now days. In the car I like satellite radio due to the variety and not having to worry about a data connection, which is spotty and slow out where I live.
Weird random fact - I tried to connect my nexus 4 phone to the chromebook and it didn't recognize it. So two flagship google products aren't compatible. A day later I realized - well if you believe in the "cloud" then you don't really need to be moving data around with USB cables! But still - sort of funny that my "google phone" is recognized by Macs and PCs but not the chromebook.
2nd random fact - the power button is right where the "forward delete" key is on a windows machine. So if you are used to using that key, you will occasionally be surprised by your chromebook being powered off. On the good side I do like all the dedicated buttons above the numbers ("Full Screen", brightness, speaker volume and mute).
I haven't gone and purchased a compatible printer yet to check out that interface. But I wouldn't expect too much trouble, since printing things is one of the core competencies any computing device needs to exhibit. When I cross that bridge, if I have troubles I can update this note. Do note that most of your USB and older Wifi printers won't work. So count that in your costs if you plan on making this your one and only computer. Since new printers are usually the cost of the old printers print cartridge I'm not really worried about this. if you are in the market for a new printer, you can google "cloud ready printers" and probably find something that fits the bill.
Bluetooth - There is a bluetooth interface, but it isn't intended for music streaming or headsets. I tried. But I can confirm it will work with a bluetooth mouse. And apparently with a bluetooth keyboard, but why you would want to use a separate keyboard escapes me, unless you had it connected to the TV and wanted to "surf around" from the couch. I had hoped to use my bluetooth headphones, but that isn't yet possible. There is a wired headphone jack (3.5 mm) jack though.
Internet Access Note - I have been able to setup the nexus phone as a portable hot spot for the chromebook with no trouble - I have decided that I will have a "talk phone" and a "data phone". Sometimes the smart phones make it too hard to do the basic phone function. So for the data phone I signed up for the T-mo $30 4G plan with 5Gb of data and 100 minutes. While obviously this depends on how fast the wireless carriers data runs at, but I have been able to get 10 Mb downlink (e.g. fast enough) going from the Nexus 4 google phone to the chromebook. I also installed "AdBlock" and it is way nice to view most of the internet without all the flashing advertisements. I'm thinking that also helps with bandwidth.
In fact my two netbooks hardly ever get used anymore, and of course when I do turn them on once a month, they spend half an hour downloading all the latest security patches from the "mother ship" in Seattle. Seriously how can any operating system just have continued on-going security patches issued for years on end?! Random aside the only good MS operating systems I've really seen were windows 95, 2000, XP, and 7. But again the on-going battle to keep viruses and security patches under control is something you won't ever have to think about with this device. I suspect windows 8 (an operating system that can't figure out if its a tablet or a PC) along with the new office interface will lead to the ultimate marginalizing of a once great software development firm.
This device is light and easy to carry around. Boots in no time at all which is really nice (having made a habit of going and getting a coffee while waiting for Macs and PCs to startup). Beyond that you don't really have to turn the thing on and off, just close the lid. It doesn't overheat and there is no fan - due to the lack of heat generated by this CPU. Checking emails, creating documents, listening to music and watching streamed movies/TV is easy. I wish this thing had been around when I was shopping for the netbooks. It is pretty much the only laptop I throw in my backpack now-a-days!

Not for kids? But great for an adult like me
by jerrysander on November 21, 2012
Pros: Battery
Ease of use
Fast start-up time
Tremendous sync with all your Chrome/Google stuffCons: Yes, it feels a little too flex-y
Keyboard is a little mushySummary: I bought this for my 12 year old son, hoping he'd like it for school, wireless printing, some games, transfer his music collection to Google Music, have easy portability, ...
Summary: I bought this for my 12 year old son, hoping he'd like it for school, wireless printing, some games, transfer his music collection to Google Music, have easy portability, etc....He didn't love it. Why? No Minecraft, different version (or none) of familiar games, different interface than the Apple/Mac versions he plays with on his iPod Touch, unwillingness to stretch and learn Google Docs, etc...Just not an easy sell to a 12 year old who likes all things Apple. So...I took it back from him (with no guilt; only after he confirmed he finds it more trouble than it is worth to use and is too different from what he is comfortable with)...and...I really, really like it. Boot-up/fast start-up is at least 3 times faster than any Windows or Mac thing I've used, the screen is bright enough, the keyboard is okay-enough, and it is light, ultra-portable and connected with everything that matters to me -- G Mail, Google Music (with over 12,000 songs on it, for me), Google Docs, Facebook, other apps. It prints wirelessly to my Lexmark printer, I can use it to take notes while people are talking (I'm a therapist), it recharges quickly...What's not to like? If you are lucky enough to still find one to buy, get a 3 year Square Trade Warrantee with it. They've replaced/fixed my old Lenovo laptop twice under warranty, with free shipping both ways. Peace of mind. Thanks Google and Samsung!

Summary: This computer meets the needs of most consumers. It is fast and browses the internet quickly. Almost everyone uses their computer on the internet exclusively. I haven't used any computer in the last 10 years without internet connection, so it was an easy buy for me. Also, Google provides many programs and services for free. There is no need to buy security software or any other misc. programs. Over the life the computer, most computer users will save a lot of money if they learn to use Google's free ecosystem.

Better than tablet for web-browsing but not apps...yet
by scorpiogt4 on February 17, 2013
Pros: Fast start up
Fluid, responsive, and quick
Chrome remote desktop

Summary: When it comes to web-browsing, there are a lot of sites that use flash that aren't tablet friendly. And there are also websites that restrict content from tablets, like Hulu.com. With the Chromebook, you have access to all those sites just as if you were visiting them with a regular Mac or PC.
This computer doesn't have the most powerful specs, but because of the ultra lite operating system, everything works and responds very vast. However, the machine is not invincible and will start to struggle if you open about 10 or more content heavy websites.
My favorite feature on the Chrome browser is the "Chrome Remote Desktop" application. It makes it easy for you to control a computer at home remotely with your Chromebook through the internet. It is easy to set up and it works great (as long as you have a decent internet connection wherever you are). So if you need a powerful machine, you can just use the Chromebook to access and do work on a more powerful desktop on the go. I use my Chromebook to work on Matlab projects on my home desktop while I'm at college.
Of course this machine is almost useless without internet connection, but isn't that true of tablets as well? You can still watch movies, listen to music, and play games that are stored locally on the hard drive or on an external drive.
My main gripe with Chromebook is the lack of applications. I use this machine for college, and I have a lot of content on PDF files to study. The standard PDF viewer in Chrome is very basic. It doesn't let you add comments/highlights or jump to specific bookmarks. Hopefully in the near feature there will be an upgrade or a better app available on the Chrome Web Store.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

I was looking for a lightweight second laptop at my place for my girlfriend. I have my laptop (2012 13.3" MBA), but who lives in a one laptop world anymore? My girlfriend has very little interest in technology. She just wants something to work. The Chromebook boots in 9 seconds, lasts for 6 hours with a full charge, allows her to keep her own profile with her own settings, isn't susceptible to the virus laden world of Windows (don't get me wrong, I still love Windows) and automatically checks for updates every time you login. This was a no-brainer.
She likes it a lot. I have one heard one complaint so far and that has to do with website compatibility. We noticed an issue once when she was ordering a plane ticket. The website requires a callback for the international flight and the necessary pop-up would not work (it was not a pop-up blocker issue). It just wouldn't process the pop-up. One or two other pages wouldn't render properly either. I've seen the latter issue with the Chrome browser on a desktop running Chrome, but the plane ticket problem was unique to the Chromebook.
Beyond that, it's been great. We don't play games on it. It's just a web-browser focused laptop. We use webmail like everyone else, Google docs for the occasional spreadsheet or document. I listen to Slacker for music, she watches YouTube for music videos.
The unit only has 16GB of storage but unless you are determined to try and make this your one and only computer, you'll never notice it. The only thing that really takes up space is media and why would anyone load this up with MP3s and movies? Yeah, you could, but why not just hook up an external hard drive for that to the USB3 port? This unit really hits the sweet spot for a second laptop.
As someone who works in an IT support environment, I can tell you that I am sick of patching computers. I love not having to think about that with this laptop. Seriously. It's a HUGE deal.
I even bought one for my mother who lives in another state. I moved her to Gmail one year ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Now she lives in the cloud, nothing gets lost and the only one who calls with computer problems is Dad (he lives for Outlook and hates change).
Some little things I wish it did?
I wish I could use the trackpad to go back and forth between webpages even thought there's always alt-left arrow, alt-right arrow and dedicated back and forth buttons on the top row of the keyboard.
I wish the ambient light sensor didn't adjust so much. It's slight, but a little annoying at times when you're on battery power. The screen adjusts too frequently for my preference.
The one software wish I have is for a DLNA player for movies and audio. That would be nice. Plex for Chromebook. That would be sweet.
Yes, I wish the screen brightness were greater and I wish the keyboard was backlit. But these's features come at a cost and for $250, this is definite win.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: This Samsung Chromebook is an excellent value and for non-gaming "power users" a much better option than a tablet computer. Numerous applications including GMail, Google Apps and Music work perfectly well when not connected to the Internet. At $249, it includes 2 years of 100 GB cloud storage and 15 passes to use WiFi on many airlines. In my opinion at least, these included features alone easily justify the cost of purchase. Unless you decide to add an extended warranty, $249 is the bottom line price, virtually all apps are free and there is no need for virus protection or any other form of mal-ware protection.
I Use it For Writing.
by chilliwachad on January 28, 2013
Pros: Lightweight. Sharp design. Fast start up. Chrome OS is hassle free. Access to Gmail, Drive, and other Chrome services is flawless. Decent screen. Keyboard is interesting, but useful. 100GB of free Drive storage for 2 years upon purchase.
Cons: Having more than 8-10 tabs open can cause some lag. The touch pad takes some getting used to.

Summary: Google Drive is my first choice when it comes to cloud storage. The Series 3 Chromebook allows me to write and save long form ideas and drafts with minimal hassle. It also works nicely as a device to explore the internet, check email, etc.... The Google alternatives to Skype and iTunes work really well on the Series 3. If you find tablets to be nifty devices, but difficult to write on, give the Series 3 a shot. It's well designed and super easy to use.

Thousands of demonstrators rallied Saturday in Washington to demand tougher gun control laws, many describing themselves as first-time capital marchers who've had enough of gun violence.
On a cold day, a vanguard led a blocks-long procession with a big blue banner, declaring "March on Washington for Gun Control: When we stand together, we stand a chance."
The demonstrators want reinstatement of the federal ban on the sale of military-style semi-automatic rifles such as the one used in the recent Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead, plus the gunman and his mother. The protestors also want a ban on the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines and universal background checks.
Many marchers just carried black-and-white placards bearing the names of victims of gun violence, such as Veronica Soto, a Newtown teacher who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
Co-organizer Molly Smith highlighted how many demonstrators were ordinary citizens, the organization of whom was assisted by a webpage and Facebook page.
"It's been a remarkable learning experience," Smith told CNN, "the realization that we're citizens and this is an active citizenship, and being a citizen isn't just sitting around and gassing about it."
The march was the first major demonstration since the Newtown mass shooting last month, and it comes two days after Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, introduced a bill that would ban some assault rifles, semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told an assembly of marchers, after they reached their rallying area midway between the White House and the Capitol, that Saturday's demonstration wasn't about the Second Amendment.
"This is about gun responsibility; this is about gun safety; this is about fewer dead Americans, fewer dead children," Duncan told the crowd.
He recalled that as the former chief of Chicago Public Schools, he oversaw a system in a city where a student was killed by gun violence every two weeks.
"Far too many of our children are growing up in climates where they are scared," Duncan said. "That has to change."
He added, "This march is a starting point. It's not an ending point. We must act, we must act, we must act."
U.S. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-District of Columbia, asked residents of Newtown, Connecticut, to make themselves known in the crowd.
'We came to stand with you and bear witness with you until we vindicate your children and those who died with them," Norton said.
She urged the assembly to press for gun reform.
The demonstrators started chanting: "Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can!"
Without mentioning the National Rifle Association, Norton made a reference to the powerful gun lobby, saying, "It comes down to us because we are immune to their lobbying.
"Only an outraged public can end the gun violence that has enveloped our country," she added. "We the people who did not act before, we the people this time will step forward.
"And this time we will not step back."
Colin Goddard survived being shot four times during the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, one that left 33 people dead, including the gunman, who took his own life.

Soft Kitty is a song that Sheldon's grandmother sang to him when he was sick. The song was first introduced in The Pancake Batter Anomaly where Penny had to sing it to Sheldon when he caught a cold. In The Vegas Renormalization , Penny had to sing soft kitty to Sheldon again on the pretense "…Homesick is a type of being sick." When Sheldon was feeling sad about being betrayed by his friends (and not being able to attend Comic Con) in The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation Penny starts singing Soft Kitty, but was interrupted by Sheldon as he said "That's for when I'm sick! Sad is not sick." In The Adhesive Duck Deficiency , when Penny was a little lightheaded from powerful painkillers she asked Sheldon to sing her Soft Kitty as a round. At the end of The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification, Penny sings Soft Kitty to Sheldon after he falls down the stairs.
In November 2010, The Big Bang Theory held a contest where contestants uploaded their version of Soft Kitty, and other users could vote for their favorite.
While referred to on the show as "Soft Kitty" the actual song is called "Warm Kitty". Lyrics were written by Edith Newlin

- Nina Hartley
Nina Hartley
In 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school, Nina Hartley started working as a stripper at the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theater. She made her foray into the world of pornographic movies during her junior year, in 1984. Her debut performance was in the film Educating Nina (currently out of print) which was directed by the veteran porn star Juliet Anderson (better known as Aunt Peg) and this proved to be a massive hit. Since then, Nina Hartley has gone on to feature in over 400 first-run adult films, and has become one of the most enduring and recognizable performers in the industry.
Nina Hartley is best known within the adult film industry for her rear end (often referred to as the "best ass in the business").
Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry's right to exist, and prior to the rise to stardom of Jenna Jameson had often been called upon when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side.
In addition to her more traditional roles in porn films, Nina Hartley has also produced, directed, and starred in a series of "How to..." films covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay, to anal intercourse and bondage.

It is so dull an miserable today, just like yesterday it's hardly getting light at all! Bring back the snow! We have no snow left now, just patches of ice where snow used to be and my dog is now all upset!
I agree Kat, at least it was light with the white stuff everywhere.
Bah Humbug I cry.
Thank goodness the snow has gone.
This country can't cope with a mere 4 -6 inches, gridlock on all of our roads, airports cancelling flights, the mail crisis etc etc
It has cost the economy billions of pounds, and numerous fatalities.
The wildlife mortality was reaching crisis levels, come on!!!! more snow no thanks.
I agree it looks nice when it's white, other than that good riddance.
Regards a miserable Buzzard
I feel the same Buzzard {thumbs up}
I am pleased that the snow is gone. There is some more snow due tomorrow according to the weather 2-5cm of snow coming across the country from Taunton direction to the Central England.
I really hope that the snow has died out by the time it reaches Bedford.
Kathy and Dave
Buzzard Bah Humbug I cry. Thank goodness the snow has gone. This country can't cope with a mere 4 -6 inches, gridlock on all of our roads, airports cancelling flights, the mail crisis etc etc It has cost the economy billions of pounds, and numerous fatalities. The wildlife mortality was reaching crisis levels, come on!!!! more snow no thanks. I agree it looks nice when it's white, other than that good riddance. Regards a miserable Buzzard
Yeah it's good the snow has gone, but there is more on it's way :-(
Yes, I was glad to see the back of it. Enough was enough.
Unfortunately,in central southern England we're right in the path of the next lot.
I just need some decent daylight, I have taken to sitting with my gecko's under their U.V light. I think I have Seasonal Affected Disorder. I'm so miserable at the moment, I go to work in the dark & come home in the dark, spend break duty in the dark as it still isn't properly light at 10.30 & 12.30 in the daytime.
Please, the wildlife probably thinks we're all a bunch of wusses cowering inside our central-heated houses in fear of the "cold white stuff" rather than getting on with things as normal! I dread to think what Brits do when they go on these skiing holidays, probably hang their heads in shame that there are places in the world that get more snow that we do and still get on with life as normal!
And in the summer it will be a massive heatwave causing massive disruption, and in spring and autumn too much rain. The weather can't win lol
I think my dog is suffering from snow-withdrawl symptoms hehe
Hi Kat
Exactly we are a bit OTT when it comes to snow and dealing with the white stuff.
The weather is here, there and everywhere compared to what it was in the 70's.
The seasons where seasons and summers .... summers
A friend of mine who lives in Aberdeen sent me this snowy picture from a scene in 1908
Now that is what I call snow!!!
Oh my GOSH! Blackbird, that is a fantastic pic!!
May be worth a fortune in years to come.
I was sick of the sight of it, really, it was making me feel ill - I'm Cornish, we're not cut out for such cold temperatures! I rejoiced when the last little bits of snow had melted. Can't stand the stuff.
Kathy and Dave - Great photo I think that guy needs a bigger shovel! But hey, look at the side there are people going about their business as usual life hasn't ground to a halt even with a mountain of snow to cross to get from one side to another!
I bet those people would be disgusted at us if they saw the way things grind to a standstill today!
I love it. Looks stunning, its healthy. Yes the country comes to a standstill, - thats a disgrace.. The rest of Europe carries on, with feet of it. Yes ,I know, they get it year a fter year and have the infrastructure to cope with it all.. Yes wildlife suffers, but then it did years ago when we had REAL winters.
Personally I hope it comes back tomorrow like they say.
Hi all,
I just love the snow - we go skiing quite alot and I revel in the cold air and fresh fall of snow - you can't beat it. Sometimes it's so cold that your breath catches in your throat and then the adrenelin pumps in at the sight of a run and you forget all about it.
Over here I loved it when we got snow especially as it was even more than was forecast for Essex. Admittedly I was worried for the wildlife but the snow we had wasn't for long thankfully and hopefully alot of our bird life and other small animals were able to cope. I know that wasn't the case for everyone.
I did find it ironic though when I saw geese coming in escaping the harsh weather from countries afar only to find the same here - Can't imagine how fed up they must have felt to fly all that way only to turn up over here expecting milder weather! Can't even do a U turn really can they? Bless them.
I also love the snow. It lifts my heart in the middle of gloomy miserable grey winter days, it's so light and bright, and makes me feel like a child again. I love the walks - everything looks so different, like another place altogether. I find it healthy and the best way to kill coughs and colds. I know it causes severe problems, transport chaos, and everything else mentioned on this thread, but we can't stop it so we may as well get out and about, try to enjoy it and make the most of it.
Kat - my dogs are also suffering withdrawal symptoms!

Fodor's Las Vegas 2014
Trade Paperback
Easter Island, Machu Picchu, and other celebrated wonders of the world are certainly impressive. But Las Vegas... Las Vegas is a land where jungles thrive and fountains dance in the middle of the desert. It's a place that unites medieval England and ancient Egypt with modern-day Venice, Paris, and New York. It's a never-ending source of irony and improbability where you can turn a chip and a chair into a million dollars, or celebrate your shotgun wedding by shooting machine guns. Where else does such a wonderland exist? In a word, nowhere. But Vegas.

A real friend is someone who you can come to in your time of need. That's exactly what one teen whom we are calling 'Cristy' did for her friend after she was allegedly beaten by her parents with a leather belt for three hours. "They started hitting her and hitting her and her little sister walked into the room and they were pretty mad and started hitting her too," 'Cristy' said. She spoke exclusively to Action 4 News about the day she told her friend to get help. 'Cristy'' recalls the conversation she and her 15-year-old friend had after the alleged beating. We're protecting her identity because of the severity of the crime and her age. According to 'Cristy' this was not the first time the 15-year-old had visible bruises. "It was not a typical bruise, it seemed something that must have been forced on for a long time," 'Cristy' said. According to court documents, on January 10th, Mission Police were called out to a house on the 300 block of West 14th Street in Mission. When police arrived they spoke to the 15-year-old teen who claimed, on January 8th her mother, Carlota, was mad at her and began yelling. That's when Salinas allegedly grabbed a leather belt and started hitting the 15-year-old across the side and her lower back. Reports state that the teen had large bruising to right buttock and upper right thigh. The victim then stated that her father, Javier Salinas, took the belt from her mother and continued to hit her on and off untill about 11 pm. Court documents state that Salinas, told the teen to wear a jacket to school the next day and to not tell anyone what happened. The teen didn't listen, she sent out a text message to her friend, 'Cristy' knew it was a cry for help. "That morning we were like maybe we shouldn't maybe we should just wait and see if she comes in tomorrow and then talk to her about it then we were like no what if something else happens and what if something more serious happens and she doesn't make it in tomorrow," 'Cristy' said. 'Cristy' took the message to her physics teacher and told him about the alleged beating. He immediately took action and brought 'Cristy' and the victim to the counselor's office where Child Protective Service was called. "Cristy' credits her mom for speaking up for her friend. She said, her mother always taught her to speak up if she knew it would help someone get out of a bad situation. "I will try to be there for everybody that I can. [Is there something that you want your friend to know?] That I love her," 'Cristy' said. 'Cristy' said she's relieved that her friend and sister will finally get the help they need. The 15-year-old and 10-year-old were taken to a child advocacy center and are now in with grandparents. Carlota Salinas is currently a supervisor to the principal at Clinton Elementary--part of the La Joya Independent School District. The district tells Action 4 News Carlota is still employed with La Joya ISD. La Joya ISD said that they haven't received notification from Mission Police of her status. Her bond is set at $5,000. Javier was charged with assault and injury to a child.Click here to follow Veronica on FacebookClick here to follow Veronica on Twitter

Final Sale
Marled Turtleneck Sweater
Item# 5853165
Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Richly shaded, cotton-blend marled yarn
- Softly scrunched turtleneck
- Long sleeves with roll-edge cuffs
- Easy fit
- Ribbed hem
- Acrylic Wool Blend
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.
- Imported
Sizing Issues
I tried this turtleneck on because it was on sale, and I grabbed my usual sweater size (S; I wear XS for most LTD tops). The small was so tight on my arms and across the back. Sizing up helped, but made it feel frumpy rather than stylish. I really like the marled element though- it looks great under a blazer!
January 17, 2013
This is a super cute sweater but it has some major issues. First it is really itchy. Secondly, if you just look wrong at it, it snags. I have worn this sweater three times it is has four snags already. I am pretty disappointed. Thirdly, it is not very warm and I have to wear my silky long johns top under it just to feel warm at work. Not you best work the Limited.
January 1, 2013
Another Must Have
I love all the sweaters from The Limited this season. I purchased the red and the black sweater which fits true to size. The sweaters can be dressed up/down. I plan to wear them with my skinny jeans. Grab them!
December 12, 2012
Comfy Sweater
The sweater is very comfortable and warm. It looked small when I bough it, but it fit true to size! You can dress it up for work but also dress down.
December 11, 2012
Comfortable Sweater
This sweater is very lightweight. Even with the turtleneck, I felt very comfortable. Very, very cute.
December 8, 2012
I really like this sweater - it looked small when I got it but after I tried it on it fit perfect!
December 6, 2012
Nice Holiday Sweater
I ordered this along with a few other items. I mainly ordered it because my husband said he liked it. But I was pleasantly suprised when I received it and tried it on. The color is a nice rich red, with some black flecks in it. I typically dont look good in the color red, but this sweater is different. The material is nice and thick and I dont have to wear a tank top under it if I dont want to (unlke a lot of other sweaters). The sizing was true to size, I normally wear a small and that is what I ordered and it fits perfect. I am super exicted to wear this during the holiday season to some parties, and I think it will look good with black pants or jeans.
December 6, 2012
Too Tight
The neck opening was extremely tight. I couldn't fit my head through the it.

Gran de Gracia Classic is a marvellous apartment with lots of natural daylight located in a modernist building from the late 19th century. Its charming and classical character comes from the original features, the quality finishes and the excellent taste of the decorator. This apartment is very calm and quiet since none of its windows give to the beautiful but busy Gran de Gracia street where it is set.
This 110 m2 apartment is located on a fourth floor (with elevator). The pleasant living and dining area have lots of sunlight around lunchtime and in the afternoon; giving out on a private 6 m2 terrace with table and two chairs and oriented towards the inner courtyard of the apartment block, so really peaceful. The separate and fully equipped kitchen has its own practical breakfast table. The main bedroom includes a double bed, while the second one has a single and an extra bed, both of them with a spacious cupboard. Thanks to their orientation towards a small patio, they are both very quiet though with little daylight. Two bathrooms, one with shower, complete this offer.

The audience was treated to a delightful dinner in the Memorial Hall dining area this past Friday evening. The tables were beautifully decorated with spring flowerpots on each table, as well as interesting candle and marble centerpieces.
The guests enjoyed glasses of wine, beer and other drinks, with soft drinks available for anyone who wished to not have alcohol.
Many new friends were made, as the seat assignment offered a variety of personalities joining together for hearty conversation and a lovely catered meal, coordinated by David and Shelly Slykhuis.
The meal was served buffet style and included a variety of salads, buns, beef and a delicious strawberry shortcake desert bowl.
After eating, the audience was asked to make their way upstairs for the big event.
The sold out crowd filled the auditorium and were treated to a comedic evening.
This year�s theatre production was Unnecessary Farce, the story of two wacky detectives, investigating the town�s mayor through adjoining hotels room, a comedy written by Paul Slade Smith. It was directed by Dianne Twietmeyer and assistant to the director Don Carter.
The plot began, with the two unorganized and witty detectives setting up a security system between the two hotel rooms, neither sure of how to work the device.
The two never seemed to get the important stuff on tape but often caught private moments.
The sexual encounters between Karen Brown, the accountant and Detective Eric Sheridan, were always viewed by at least one other person, including the unlucky mayor, who happened to walk into every awkward moment possible.
Comedic encounters were happening every second during this play, and the audience laughed until they cried.
�I hope all the ladies wear waterproof mascara,� said Marylin Carter, wife of the event coordinator.
The story ended in amazing surprise, with the two crazy inexperienced detectives capturing and arresting the whole Scottish Clan.
The cast was outstanding, with experience ranging from one year to 25 years of acting experience.
Unnecessary Farce was definitely the opposite of its title, delivering very appreciated and needed comic relief.
The production also had a sold out Saturday night dinner theatre and Sunday afternoon matinee.
Cornerstone Theatre is now in search of new talent for their next production.
�We are looking for new performers. We need people who want to start acting, or even people who are musically talented. Our casts are getting older, and we will soon be in need of younger talent,� said Don Carter, event coordinator and assistant to the director.

Flat Grating
These flat Ruled and Holographic Gratings are fabricated from BK 7 glass substrates, coated with an AlMgF2 broadband reflective coating. Fig. 1 shows efficiency curves for two of our most popular UV gratings. Fig. 2 shows the reflectance of an IR grating.
We offer many of these gratings mounted in pre-aligned holders for use in Oriel Monochromators and Spectrographs; they are listed on the individual instrument pages. (Note, in some cases the full primary wavelength range is limited on the long wavelength side by the instruments mechanical stop.)
Do not touch the surface of the grating; handle the grating by the edges and always wear gloves or finger cots. Use a non-contact cleaning method such as dry, compressed air or a dust bulb to remove excess dust from a grating.

Norway Adopts Same-Sex Marriage Policy: Sperm Donor Must Be Identified
Amidst heated debate and controversy, Norway became the sixth nation (following, South Africa (5th), Spain (4th), Canada (3rd), Belgium (2nd), and the Netherlands (1st), to grant same-sex marriage privileges.
"This decision is of an importance comparable to universal suffrage and our law on parity," Labour Party rapporteur Gunn Karin Gjul said during the debate.
The most controversial part of the law is that which gives lesbians the right to be artificially inseminated. The sperm donor must be identified so that the child can seek out his or her biological father at the age of 18.
"We are now creating a system where the father is reduced to a sperm sample," lamented Ulf Erik Knudsen, a member of the far-right.
Outside the parliament, a handful of opponents protested with posters reading "Have fathers become superfluous?" and "Parliament has no mandate to change the laws of nature."
Among other things, the new legislation replaces a so-called "partnership law" adopted in 1993 which gave Norwegian homosexuals the right to civil unions.
Health care workers who do not want to perform artificial inseminations on lesbians because of their personal convictions will not be under any obligation to carry out the procedure.
The new law is expected to enter into force at the end of this year or early next year.

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp. Green Tabasco sauce (or use your favorite hot sauce or cayenne pepper)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp. ground chile powder (I used Ancho chile powder from Penzeys.)

Hallo Steegy,
Thank you very very much for this GREAT script!
Yesterday, I discovered MediaMonkey after being fed-up with iTunes and not at all impressed by the JetAudio's MediaManager.
I use MM3 (B1) and thought- well, with money spent on the life-time licence:
let's rebuild the tags for 6000 files from ground up.
And although MediaMonkey's build-in automatic tools are very nice
-and mp3tag is always helpful- it was YOUR script that finally enabled me to:
- extract year from album name and paste it into date
- erase the song # before the title
Again: Thank you very much!
You have saved me hours of dull re-typing...
All the best to you,

I ordered it for the new year. I absolutely love this stuff. My endurance is through the roof. The first time I took it, I felt a little funny. Not sure how to describe it. Anyway, some old friends and I get together on Saturdays to play football for a few hours. I ran all damn day and I despise running. Never got tired. It was crazy. This stuff really works for me and I'm glad I picked some up during the NP sale.
On another subject, is MST still sending out samples? I emailed a request for samples on Dec. 27 and haven't heard anything. I went on and bought the Cordygen 5 before being able to sample it and I am pleased, but would like to try out the others before I spend more money.

Village board consioers fence moratorium By Jim Golding Freeport trustees held the first of r\vo public hearings Monda\' on a proposed amendment to the \'illage code to withhold all permits for all fencing in yards abutting or adjacent to canals and other waterways. A proliferation of high fences of varj'ing heights and designs obstructing views of the waterways prompted the Department of Buildings to request a sLx-month moratcffium. The amendment to the Village Code must first be reviewed by the county Planning Contimission before trustees can vote on the law at a second public hearing on Tuesday, June 4. In his presentation at the hearing. Deputy Village Attorney Howard Colton noted that an exception to the proposed moratorium would allow erection of fences not more than four feet high and of open design. Tlie moratorium could be extended for an additional year after the initial six-month period. In comments from the public, Alan Jay warned that allowing a four-foot fence could pose a safety hazard because children could easily climb o\er and endanger themselves near the water. The moratorium would not apply to permits already approved for the constniction offences higher than foiu" feet. In other business, trustees heard jfirom two residents of Ray Street about the deteriorating conditions of the roadwav. .Ann Marie Hurtado and Richard Quinn asked that the \illage consider repairing the street in the near future. Ms. Hurtado called the condition of Ray Street "deplonible."" Mr. Quinn noted the existence of "52 potholes in 800 feet of roadway." Mayor William P. Glacken said he was aware of the condition of the street and preliminary engineering work would need to be done before bids are requested. "We try to do the streets that are in the worst condition," he said. Trustees approved a small number of routine agenda items, including: • A reduction in the ta.K assessment for 145 North Main Street by $1,007 and for 780 Guy Lombardo Avenue by $1,108 due to estimated water readings. • A two-year contract at $ 15,000 per year to Tanner Industries Inc. of Soutampton, Pennsylvania, for aqueous arrunonia. •An agreement extension with Broadway Auto Towing Inc. tfarou^ July 31. During public comment, Alan Jay had high praise for the fast response by Fieeport police in arresting a drunk driver who had struck his parked car outside his residence on Friday. Mr. Jay said in answer to critics of having a village police force that 'Treeport cannot afford not to have its own police force." Following the agenda meeting and public conmient, the board adjourned to executive session. The next regular meeting wUl be Tuesday, June 4. Baldwin's Memorial Day Parade wiU be on Monday, May 28, wifli line-up along Grand Avenue and a starting time of 9:30 a.m. Contingents vdll represent local schools and community groups and march to Silver Lake Park, where ceremonies honoring those who died in service to the country will be conducted.

PALM COAST, Fla.-- Federal investigators are trying to figure out why a plane crashed into a home in Palm Coast, killing three people onboard the plane.
"It's surreal. You wonder if it really happened," said Jessica Crockett. That's why Crockett had to see it for herself. Friday, a plane came crashing down through the roof of her home. Her mom Susan Crockett was still stuck inside. "She says it's all kind of a blur. She just remembered trying to get out the house was on fire," said Crockett.
Crockett says her mom did the only thing she could to save herself. "She climbed through the window of the bedroom," said Crockett.
Armando Gonzalez saw the whole thing. "She was saying there's an airplane in my house, an airplane in my house," said witness Armando Gonzalez. "We hear an explosion....We see the house in flames and tail of plane sticking out of house," said Gonzalez.
The plane took off from Fort Pierce for Downtown Island Airport in Knoxville when the pilot reported having engine trouble. The Florida Highway Patrol says the pilot reported smoke in the engine, and then "entered an area of bad weather."
The 1957 Bonanza H35 plane was diverted to the Flagler airport when it crashed just after 2 p.m. FHP says the plane appeared to make a steep descent prior to hitting the roof of the home.
Police tell Action News the pilot reported violent shaking in the engine and a plume of smoke. Now the big question is why this plane went down, killing three people. FHP says they were trying to land the plane at the Flagler airport, less than a mile from where it crashed. That's why Crockett says it wasn't uncommon for them to hear planes sounding like they were right on top of their home. "It's sad now but yeah we used to joke all the time. Planes are loud and fly low. We never thought it'd happen," said Crockett.
But it did and Crockett is just glad she can still wrap her arms around her mom. "The fact that my mother survived, and got out, my mom is a strong woman. Nothing will shake her faith in God. I'm so thankful she's still here. I love her to death.
Investigators plan to hold a news conference Saturday at 3 p.m.
Here are the most recent story comments.View All
