Mobile Network Providers
Vodafone SIM-Only
Vodafone also offers many attractive packages to its customers with regard to talk time and text messages. Vodafone SIM card deals have a variety of tariffs for customers to choose from. Each of these tariffs come at affordable prices and provides a great value for the money you spent in purchasing your Vodafone SIM-Only deal. Vodafone SIM internet is also often a part of these packages. Vodafone SIM-Only plans offer attractive rates even when it comes to international calls and text messages. You can your friends and family living abroad at much lower rates than would be characteristic of alternative mobile phone networks. This Vodafone SIM-Only contract deal is known as Vodafone international. Another Vodafone SIM-Only plan called the Vodafone family allows you to add your family and friends to a limited and exclusive group and call them at even lower rates than the average rates for Vodafone SIM deals.

The option of selecting a brand new flexible booster T-Mobile also carries with it attractive packages which cover text messaging, the internet and foreign calling.
O2 Simplicity
O2 SIM cards are offering cheap deals for iPhone, even cheaper than those offered by Vodafone. O2 simplicity has recently encountered Vodafone's SIM-Only plan with one of its own, targeted towards iPhone users. The monthly O2 simplicity for iPhone offers a one year contract at a very low rate as well as shorter and much more economical contracts for existing iPhone users. This means that users of iPhone do not have to give up on the peculiar features of their phone to sign up for O2 SIM contracts. The O2 simplicity tariff encompasses free talk time, unlimited data, text messages to any other network in the UK, as well as Wi-Fi. These options can be taken according to your needs and affordability as they come with various price ranges. For every additional 5 pounds paid, you get an incremental 300 minutes, and there is an O2 simplicity contract that offers unlimited domestic voice calls. The regular rates for subsidized iPhones are much higher and offer only 100 minutes of talk time per month.
Orange SIM-Only
With Orange SIM-Only deals, users have access to one of the cheapest mobile phone service providers in their vicinity. In the United Kingdom, the traditional practices were such that when you purchased a new mobile phone handset, you automatically got yourself bound into a contract for a cellular phone network. You were usually given very limited choices to choose a network from. However, these deals also offered the chance to win brand new mobile phone handsets and many other exciting prizes after continuous use of the service over a one year period or longer. Now you have a much cheaper deal available in the form of an Orange SIM-Only contract deals. You do not have to spend so much money on purchasing a new handset in order to get your desired network connection.
Three SIM-Only
The 3 SIM-Only deals offer great minutes of talk time and a great unlimited text messages. Three mobile SIM-Only has the largest 3G network in the UK. Moreover, if you purchase three SIM-Only contracts, you can enjoy free Skype to Skype calls, as well as instant messaging from SIM cards bought from three mobile. There are a number of 3 SIM-Only deals, and you can choose the one that suits you the best. Each deal has its own advantages and offers the same degree of affordability to all customers.
We compare a range of iPhone SIM-Only deals from all major UK mobile phone network providers. This includes Micro-SIM cards for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s as well as the standard size SIM cards for iPhone 3 and iPhone 3Gs.
Handset and Device
iPhone SIM-Only
Not only does SIM-Only allow you to stick to your existing iPhone, it also has incredible offers for particular brands of mobile phones such as the iPhone, Blackberry, Smartphone, iPad, etc. Amongst these, the iPhone SIM-Only deals have managed to capture the most attention. iPhone SIM contracts are available under orange SIM-Only, Vodafone SIM-Only, O2 SIM-Only as well as three mobile SIM-Only. Moreover, the iPhone SIM-Only deals are applicable to all brands and versions of the iPhone. Most recently, a number of new iPhone SIM-Only contract deals have been introduced for the iPhone 5. The best thing about iPhone 4 SIM-Only is that it is independent from all other mobile phone networks, which implies that customers have the choice of a variety of offers. Moreover, because of the independence of the iPhone 5 SIM-Only, when you visit a franchise to purchase an iPhone handset, you will be offered only the best iPhone SIM-Only deals in the market. Free text messages, free minutes of talk time, and of course free internet access allowance are take into account when deciding the best deal to offer to a customer.
BlackBerry SIM-Only
The tariff plans offered by SIM-Only extend to specific brands of mobile phones like Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, Samsung, etc. the best part of the deal is that you get to keep your existing mobile phone handset. For instance, if you possess an iPhone and do not wish to lose out on its features when you purchase a new network connection, you do not have to do so at all. BlackBerry SIM-Only allows you to retain your current BlackBerry phone while enjoying the many other benefits of SIM-Only, which encompass free text messages, talk time minutes and data storage allowance.
iPad SIM-Only
The best iPad SIM-Only plans are now available from all networks including O2, Vodafone, Orange and Three mobile. All you have to do is compare the best iPad SIM-Only deals and select the one that allows you to enjoy your iPad or iPad 2 features to the fullest. There are currently several iPad SIM-Only contracts and choosing the right one largely depends on your usage level. If you use your iPad on a daily basis for Internet access, from checking your email to watching videos on YouTube, a 5 GB iPad SIM-Only contract suits you the best. On the other hand, if you use your iPad to browse the internet for a very short period of time every day, a much cheaper 1 GB iPad SIM-Only contract would be a better choice.
Mobile Broadband SIM-Only
In the United Kingdom, 3 mobile only and T-mobile only are almost exclusively preferred for reliable mobile broadband deals. Under deals, users can take complete advantage of free and even unlimited internet services. Mobile broadband SIM-Only deals allow a massive amount of data downloading up to 10 GB for free, on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Through the deals offered by mobile broadband SIM-Only, users can access the internet anywhere and at any time at very affordable rates.
Jargon Buster
- A SIM tiny micro-chip needed to activate GSM phones to work with your network operator to use their services. SIM is short for subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module.
- SIM Card
- A SIM micro-chip more commonly referred to as a SIM Card because the micro-chip itself is attached to a very small plastic card to make it insertable and removable between different mobile phone handsets.
- SIM-Only
- SIM-Only deals (sometimes referred to as '30 day contracts' or 'SIMO deals') are mobile phone contracts that you will take up with the network operator whereby only a SIM Card is provided and not a mobile phone handset. The idea is that you use the SIM Card with your existing handset. The length of contract is usually a lot shorter – starting from 1 month minimum term.
- 30 Day Contract
- This is simply a contract that will last for a duration of 30 days. In the mobile phone world, it is commonly referred to as SIM-Only deals.
- Rolling Contract
- This is simply a contract that gets extended or rolls over automatically unless a notice of cancellation is provided by you (the customer).
- 30 Day Rolling Contract
- With both combined, the correct definition of a 30 day rolling contract is that the contract that you have signed up ends after 30 days, however after 30 days the contract will automatically roll over to the next month.
- Monthly Allowance
- The amount of talk time minutes, SMS messages or 3G/4G data you can use per month as part of your contract without paying extra is referred to as monthly usage allowance.
- PIN is short for Personal Identification Number. Your SIM Card allows you to set a PIN so it cannot be accessed by somebody else without your authorisation.
- PUK Code
- PUK (PIN Unlock Key), also spelt as PUC (PIN Unlock Code) is a set of randomly generated numbers by the mobile network operator, which is unique to your SIM Card. If your phone is ever blocked due to you (or somebody else) entering your PIN incorrectly multiple times, a PUK Code can be obtained from your operator to unlock it again.

RRS James Clark Ross Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on the RRS James Clark Ross is situated on the Bridge, Port side, and is looking forward. The Radio Officer will usually add a small blurb containing information about where the ship is and what it is doing. This is a particularly interesting webcam as, when not on long sea passages, the scenery changes regularly. Spectacular sunrises/sunsets, stunning Antarctic vistas and the occasional Southern Ocean storm can all be seen from this camera! The update period is every fifteen minutes, with one image being archived every hour. For the most recent, full size image, click here.

This recent flair up of jabs back and forth between these former fighters and the UFC is really an unfortunate thing.
Dana (as the UFC figure head) should quit shit talking Tito, Rampage and Randy (Not specifically this issue as I havent heard him responde to it yet). I knowsome of them may have pulled some dumb shit recently and in the past but the UFC should be above this petty shit. And regardless of their current fighting abilities and rankings, the UFC should respect the work theses guys have put into the sport.
With that said, Tito has been running his mouth a bit too much since the Bellator / TNA signing.

I've been wrestling with how the iPhone 5 is since I got it. I paid full whack – just shy of $700 – for it, off-contract, just to be part of the same Apple iClub I've been in since the first one came out and everybody thought a Smartphone was a dumb idea. And I didn't like it. I really wanted to. I told people it was awesome, that the LTE was finally there and made me so happy. I told everyone the Maps were great, and then I was in a parking lot half a mile from where I was meant to be. It was cold. It was rainy. I picked up the phone to ask the restaurant where I was, and had to repeat myself eight times to even get an idea of where I was.
After however many days it's been since September, I've found the device infuriating. I forgave a lot of the iPhone 4S – it was, after all, over a year old, and the iPhone 5 would solve these problems. But I found it inconsistent, unfriendly to even the most casual business user. Searching for an email I'd sent only fifteen minutes previously was impossible. My calendar synced maybe once in eight tries. Phone calls were almost always met with a chorus of "Wuh-haaaat" and snickering at my accent.
All in all, Apple has fallen behind the curve. After trying the Galaxy Note II for two weeks, it's clear that Android Jellybean (4.1) has managed to pull ahead. And the second iteration of the Note – a device I've made fun of since before it even made it to the shelves – is a far better phone, semantically and as a competitive computer.
The term Phablet, though the worst possible term in technology, accurately describes the weight of the phone – a 5.55 inch screen, just shy of a tablet, just shy of a phone. At first it feels almost cudgel-like – a ridiculous device, one that you could never imagine using over the svelte curves of the iPhone 5. Then you spend a little more time with it, you start actually trying to do things on it, and it becomes quite another thing entirely. If you've ever struggled penning a semi-to-long note on the iPhone 4S or 5, you'll know it's not pleasant. The Samsung combination of the stylus and their Swype-esque keyboard (or your finger) makes writing a big email a lot more pleasant and accurate than poking the awkward fringes of the slim iPhone 5.
Weirdly-enough, the stylus didn't outplay the iPhone 5 for any reason connected to actual drawing. With my terrible handwriting, I'd never appreciate being able to use a pen and a pad over a phone, but the stylus itself makes for speedy typing of an email or pecking out a password. It works in place of a finger if you're cradling the phone in your hand and just want to use it – it feels weirdly comforting and direct, unlike the slightly unwieldiness of my hand. Reader beware: I might just have strange hands.
Finally, 4.1 (4.1.1, according to the device) of Android has come a long way in the useful little touches department. If you're on the phone and pull down your notifications, you're able to hit speaker, hang up, load another app (or two), and assign shortcuts based on the S Pen itself (the horrible name for Samsung's stylus). The keyboard even has numbers on the same page as the letters – which sounds like a peculiar accolade, but when you're attempting to hammer out a password of 42 to 72 letters and numbers (I'm very secure.), it's a godsend.
It just feels thoughtfully built and designed, and for the first time the overall skin that a manufacturer has added feels like a bonus versus a curse from way back on Android 2.0. That, and the thing actually has a good processor on it – the Note II swishes along at a happy pace, even with my haphazard indecision of what app I need at any given minute. Google's (obvious) integration with all things Android seals the coffin – where the iPhone has only just got a halfway-decent Gmail client, Android still, and I'd guess always will, has the best.
Overall, Apple has somehow lost their way in the design-for-use department. Where I would naturally want to use my iPhone to do something simple – y'know, like send a text, find my way somewhere, or make a phonecall – things feel like they're constantly getting in the way. I can't guide myself to a state highway on Maps. People can't hear me when I make calls. My phone gets so hot it is uncomfortable to use (Much like the Samsung Galaxy III does, mind). My texts sometimes just don't send via iMessage. These are all complaints that plagued the iPhone 4S too – the Maps problem was prevalent in the Beta of 6.0.
All in all, and in the most weird, ironic manner, iOS 6 feels like a tablet operating system squeezed onto a phone. When I have the real estate of swiping across a 7.9″ or 9.7″ tablet and the time to do so, iOS feels relaxed and perfect for it. When I need to get something done, iOS feels like it's in the way.
Apple needs to inject some life into its aged OS. Even with the addition of Google Maps and GMail, they're still playing second-fiddle to a company that seems to have worked out mobile better – though not more profitably – than they have.

Do People Realize How Close We Just Came To War With Iran?
I've long advocated using any means necessary from diplomacy, to sanctions, to bombing in order to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
This proves that's exactly the right approach to take.
The Obama administration accused Iranian government agents Tuesday of plotting to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in the United States and immediately used the thwarted plot to ratchet up sanctions and recruit international allies to try to further isolate Tehran.
Two men, including a member of Iran's special foreign actions unit known as the Quds Force, were charged in New York federal court with conspiring to kill the Saudi diplomat, Adel Al-Jubeir.
Justice Department officials say the men – Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, a U.S. citizen who holds an Iranian passport, and Gholam Shakuri, who authorities said was a Quds Force member and is still at large in Iran – tried to hire a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel to carry out the assassination with a bomb attack while Al-Jubeir dined at his favorite restaurant.
…The U.S. criminal complaint said the Iranian plotters hired a would-be assassin in Mexico who was a paid informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and told U.S. authorities all about their plot, which they code-named "Chevrolet."
FBI Director Robert Mueller said many lives could have been lost. But Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said no explosives were actually placed and no one was in any danger because of the informant's cooperation with authorities.
…Asked whether the plot was blessed by the very top echelons of the Iranian government, Holder said the Justice Department was not making that accusation. But he said the conspiracy was conceived, sponsored and directed from Tehran. The U.S. describes the Quds Force as Iran's primary foreign action arm for supporting terrorists and extremists around the world.
In and of itself, this plot was an act of war against Saudi Arabia AND much, much more importantly, against the United States. Keep in mind, the Iranians weren't planning to poison, stab, or shoot the Saudi ambassador. They were planning to set off a bomb in an American restaurant that would have undoubtedly killed American citizens.
Had the plot come off, it would have been nothing less than a terrorist attack on American soil that was launched by a foreign government. Under those circumstances, even Obama would have been compelled to launch strikes at targets all across Iran — at a minimum. An attack like that would be complete justification for a full-on war against Iran that ends when the country is subjugated and its leaders are chanting "Death to America" in hell.
Many wars in world history have started over far less than a bombing of this sort and Iran's leaders must be well aware of that fact. If they were willing to risk a war with the United States now, when they don't have functional nuclear weapons, how much bolder would they be when they have nukes and thus, would be protected from attacks by conventional forces? We're talking about a nation that not only cooperates with terrorists and hates America, we're talking about a country that has now actually ATTEMPTED A TERRORIST ATTACK ON AMERICAN SOIL.
That's not something that should be overlooked and the Obama Administration has a responsibility to tell us what they're going to do about this Act of War against the United States.

The North Face Elkhorn
Great bag. Warm, durable, and priced reasonably. I bought this bag new from a BPS store in 2010. I still have it, and it's still in good condition which is a testament to its durability. It has gotten dirty, but never ripped or had another significant problem. All in all I love this bag. It's my go-to winter camping bag. (My other bag is a Kelty Cosmic 21.) My wife has a Marmot Trestles 0 bag and I wouldn't trade her. The Trestles bag is nice, don't get me wrong, but even in the compression sack… Full review
Therm-a-Rest Saros
I got this bag for an AT section hike. It was very comfortable at first and worked well with the Therm-a-Rest Prolite Plus. I did find it irritating that the bag was so warm that most nights I could not sleep in it zipped up. The zip did not go all the way down to feet. Zipper broke and that was that. Backless weight saving idea not so sure about either, made it hard to use independently without the sleeping pad. I am getting a replacement sent from the company, the Capella women's bag. We will… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Laminina Z Flame
If you can afford just one bag, and need a bag that "does most" — consider the Lamina/Lamina Z Flame. While this bag is not for gram-weenies, it is a great mid-range, mid-cost bag that hits a really great sweet spot for wet and 3-season use. This bag also has among the most features, lowest cost, and warmth rating in its class. Overall Specs The unisex version of the Lamina Z Flame bag is rated down to 22 degrees Fahrenheit for the EN lower limit and 32 degrees Fahrenheit for the EN comfort… Full review
Moonstone Optima
I was cold at Camp Verde, AZ, campground in February and the zipper snagged the nylon backing. Good for spring camping in dry weather at Havasupai Falls Campground with no tent. I decided to take advantage of a late winter snow fall one February and skied at the Flagstaff Sno-bowl. I drove to a Camp Verde camp ground that night and would sleep in the back of my S.U.V. I found myself so cold that I was starting the engine frequently to heat up the truck. At some point the zipper snagged the backing… Full review
Kelty Tuck 20 / EN 22
Great bag at a great price. Just received it. I also own the Kelty Mistral 20 degree bag. The Tuck is 11 ounces lighter, and compresses to fit in a Kelty medium compression sack. The Mistral compresses down to fit in a large compression sack. The Tuck is listed as a 22 degree bag, not a 20. Has a zipper about six inches from the end of the bag—with the zipper open, you can have your feet out of and on top of the bag. Full review
Eureka! Women's Casper 15
If you're a tallish or largish woman like me (5'8", size XL), you probably won't fit inside. I bought this for backpacking, as it is fairly small and light, but it didn't work for me. I couldn't fit in this bag. Granted, I'm 5'8", so at the upper limit of their height range, but sticking out the end wasn't the only problem. I wear a women's XL, so I'm definitely bigger, but still within straight clothing sizes...but I couldn't zip it up with my arms inside. I was cold as expected, but it was way… Full review
REI Nooksack UL +10
For a 10°F synthetic bag, it packs down very well (8.5 x 11), it's comfortable, and zips well. From my experience it's not a 10°F bag. I was cold in this bag at 40°F with thermals on. This is one of the most inaccurate bag ratings I've tested out of dozens. If the bag read 35°F I would consider this a great bag. Everything about the bag is positive but I would feel terrible if someone actually depended on this bag in 20-30's°. If you buy this bag as a summer bag, I think you will be very… Full review
REI Shasta +15
Though the bag is made of quality materials, it does not pack down well and lets out heat around the collar. The bag is a decent car camping summer bag but does not do well in cooler weather. I tested it last night (low 36°F). Since the bag had a 15° rating, I figured comfort rating would be somewhere around 30°. I cinched the hood and collar until there was only a 4" diameter circle. There's not really a collar to cinch. The draft tube extends from the side of the bag in one continuous run that… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Lamina 20°
Is my go-to bag for a couple of seasons now for some good reasons... but the ZIPPER! I have a love/hate relationship with this bag. It has been my favorite synthetic bag I've owned. It presses down to 8 x 10. It's super silky comfortable. It has a great shape. The collar holds heat well. the compression sack is a really nice 3 strap/1clip design so you can unclip one strap and pull the lid back. The bag has a small pocket. The zipper sticks HORRIBLY! Every 3-5 inches it sticks if you are trying… Full review

Dr. Peter Beck, religion professor and director of the honors program at Charleston Southern University, makes history come alive by making it about people and ideas.
His teaching style has earned him the 2013 Excellence in Teaching Award from the South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities.
Beck said finding out he was the winner was "life flooring for the guy who never thought he would go to college. I went from being the class clown to a class master."
Enrolling in college after stints in the military and the advertising world, Beck chose biblical studies because he was fascinated by the things of religion. "Initially I didn't know what I wanted to do, but it became clear in the end I was supposed to be a teacher," he said.
Beck views his role as a teacher as shepherding souls and pastoring. "I'm not teaching to a test," he said. "I'm teaching to change lives."
Recently he received a thank-you note from a student thanking him for stopping class sometimes to give fatherly advice. "I'm guiding them, and who knows how many lives they will impact?" said Beck.
Dr. Jackie Fish, vice president for academic affairs, said, "It is such a pleasure to work alongside such talented and knowledgeable faculty members who are annually recognized by the SCICU. Dr. Beck's students enthusiastically attest to the high quality learning experience he brings to his classroom. His colleagues nominated him based on his continuous service on committees, his endless dedication to the success of his students and his commitment to serving the Lord as both a faculty member and a pastor."
Beck has taught at Charleston Southern since 2008 and is the author of The Voice of Faith: Jonathan Edwards's theology of prayer.

There are reports today that banks involved in the Libor investigation would like to settle with regulators as a group rather than individually.
Is anyone surprised? Banks would much rather band together when they are being investigated; strength in numbers and all that. But settling with this group for the sake of settling is a bad idea from a regulatory perspective.
Reuters has the scoop today that a group of banks are looking to meet with regulators and put this Libor issue behind them. And as Reuters puts it, they don't want to face a "Barclays-style backlash by going it alone."
"Such discussions are preliminary, and it is unclear if regulators will enter these talks, aimed at resolving allegations that banks attempted to manipulate the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, a benchmark that underpins hundreds of trillions of dollars in contracts," the story notes.
There are many banks involved in the investigation including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citi, HSBC, Deutsche Bank and UBS. It's unclear which ones face the biggest threat.
First, there's a problem with the fact that banks involved are saying "We'll all pay up. Just don't come after us individually." Instead, there should be more banks arguing that they didn't do anything wrong and that they'd rather not be part of a settlement they feel they don't belong in.
Settling with banks sets a bad precedent. For so long during the financial crisis prosecutors said they could not charge individuals for criminal activity and here now we have clear evidence of individuals manipulating rates–whether it was for profit or not–and there's no reason to let it slide.
Sure a massive settlement with banks will make for a great headline (some analysts say a Libor settlement could top the foreclosure settlement by a landslide) but there's something much bigger at stake here: a message needs to be sent by regulators to banks and their employees in positions of power that they can't get away with every "mistake" by simply putting up cash.
A settlement would be a coup for the banks but another big failure by regulators.

According to reports provided by the Aiken Department of Public Safety:
An unknown man damaged the drive-thru window of a restaurant on Richland Avenue early on Thursday. The suspect drove up to the window and demanded a drink from the employees, who told him the business was closed. The man then became upset and struck the window, knocking a time clock off the wall, and fled the scene.
A burglary was reported at a home on Greenwich Drive on Saturday. The suspects reportedly disassembled two air conditioner units and took the coiling from inside the units, entered the home and tore holes in the sheetrock walls to steal copper wiring.
An additional burglary was reported at a home on Carver Terrace on Tuesday. The owner reported a video game system missing.
According to reports provided by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office:
An unknown man on Thursday took two cases of beer from a convenience store on Jefferson Davis Highway in North Augusta without paying.
An unknown man took several items from another convenience store on Jefferson Davis Highway in North Augusta on Thursday without paying.
A burglary was reported at a home on Green Acres Park Lane in Warrenville on Thursday. The owner reported a television missing.

Should Google Buy FeedBurner?
When I first heard about FeedBurner I wondered what's so great about "burning your feed". Well, you get stats for your feed, you can customize your feed, add dynamic content at the bottom of each feed entry and transform that weird XML file into a nice HTML page that lets people subscribe to the feed.
FeedBurner transformed from a site that offered a way to make your feeds more humane, to the one-stop-shop for bloggers. They now offer stats for your blog, email subscriptions for feeds, ads for feeds and blogs. FeedBurner has dedicated services for companies, so there's no wonder that AOL, Wall Street Journal, Reuters are among their clients. But even if FeedBurner grew so much over the years, they keep adding new features, the customer support is excellent even for non-paying users.
There's a rumor that says Google intends to buy FeedBurner and this seems a very good idea. Not just because FeedBurner is the Google of feeds and has a great team. What could FeedBurner do for Google?
* make Blogger's feeds smarter out of the box
* FeedBurner's services could become totally free (currently you have to pay for more advanced stats)
* offer a lot of interesting information to mine
* integrate the stats for feeds with Measure Map and create the perfect analytics solution for blogs
* FeedBurner has a very big number of feeds: more than 700,000. Google has a lot of advertisers, but the AdSense for feeds program is still in closed beta.

On this day in music history: August 26, 1964 - "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks is released. Written by Ray Davies, it is the first major hit for the North London based rock band. Having released two previous singles that fail to make an impact, The Kinks will be pressured by their UK label Pye Records to deliver a hit record or be dropped from the label. After Davies writes "You Really Got Me," he and the band will try the song with a number of different arrangements before finding the right one. The Kinks will record the track with American producer Shel Talmy at IBC Studios in London in July 1964. The single's trademark distorted guitar sound is achieved by lead guitarist Dave Davies slicing the speaker cone of his guitar amp with a razor blade. It will also be one of the first rock songs to feature power chords (perfect 5ths and octaves) rather than major or minor triads. This will lay the template for the hard rock and heavy metal music genres that will follow in the years to come. The song will hit #1 in the UK and #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 28th. One of the records that will help define the '60s "British Invasion" era, "You Really Got Me" is inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1999.
On this day in music history: August 26, 1967 - "Ode To Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. Written by Bobbie Gentry (birth name Roberta Lee Streeter), it will be the biggest hit for the Mississippi born singer/songwriter. The cryptic story song about a young man committing suicide for unknown reasons is an immediate smash. Recorded at the Capitol Tower in Hollywood on July 10, 1967, the track will be completed in less than an hour of studio time. Arranger Jimmie Haskell will add the song's crowning touch by overdubbing violins and cellos to the spare arrangement. The unedited version runs over seven minutes and it pared down to just over four minutes. Originally issued as the B-side to her debut single "Mississippi Delta," DJs will very quickly favor the flipside. "Ode To Billie Joe" will enter the Hot 100 at #71 on August 5, 1967 and it will rocket to the top of the chart just three weeks later. The song will also send Gentry's album (also titled Ode To Billie Joe) to #1 for five weeks (unseating The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"), and winning her two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

I was so excited to get your package. I love the bag so much. I can't believe that you made it, being the same age as me. Although, after seeing your projects, it is no surprise. It is so cute, and is holding my project.
The book is so interesting, and hard for me to put down. I love that it is set in a place that you visit.
These chocolates are so delicious, and they even have your name on them! I wonder if they only make them in England. I shared some with my brothers.

Shutdown brings uncertainty
With the federal government now in a partial shutdown, and hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed, certain effects will be felt in Central Carolina, while the region will avoid others.
There are no international borders, federal prisons or national parks, zoos, monuments or museums — workers at all of which are being affected by the shutdown that began Tuesday when the new federal fiscal year started without a spending plan from Congress — in Chatham, Harnett, Lee or Moore counties. However, there will still be some headaches.
Jordan Lake, a popular recreation site in Chatham County, is jointly operated by the state and by the federal government's U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which created the lake. The state-run camping and recreation areas will likely remain open throughout the shutdown, according to R.C. Duckson, assistant operations manager with the Army Corps of Engineers at the lake. However, he said Tuesday, he expects his office at the dam — and therefore also the nearby boat ramp and fishing spot — to shut down sometime this week.
As with Jordan Lake, uncertainty abounded in many other areas that are part of the federal government or deal with it on a frequent basis.
There reportedly will be no changes to the U.S. Postal Service, and according to interim airport manager Greg Hudson, operations at the Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County will also continue as normal. Social Security offices, on the other hand, will keep their normal hours but won't offer the full complement of services. Until the shutdown is over, people won't be able to get replacement Social Security or Medicaid cards or proof-of-income letters. More information is available at http://socialsecurity.gov/shutdown.
Active duty military personnel are still generally getting paid, but many civilian contractors aren't, including about half of the 14,500 working at Fort Bragg, the base has reported. Veterans will be able to receive some benefits and services, including VHA medical care.
However, there will be no decisions on claims appeals or motions, internments at national cemeteries will be reduced, vocational rehabilitation and educational counseling will be limited and a number of other services and phone lines will be suspended altogether, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Claims processing and payments can continue through late October, the VA said, if the shutdown lasts that long. A full breakdown of what's available and what isn't is available at www.va.gov/opa/appropriations_lapse_plan.asp, although Lee County Veteran Services Officer John Sandrock said he would suggest any Lee County residents with questions contact him before trying to tackle all the information online.
"I always, always, 100 percent recommend they call me first," Sandrock said. "I probably know the answers, and if I don't, I at least am getting paid to know who to transfer them to."
Sandrock can be reached from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at (919) 776-0501.
It's unclear exactly how trickle-down from the stoppages will affect state, county or city operations, although at least one statewide newspaper reported that about 6,000 state employees could be furloughed. Public schools also receive federal funding for specific services — most notably for free or reduced-price meals and English as a second language programs — although the N.C. Department of Public Instruction sent schools a notice Monday saying nothing will change for at least the next two weeks.
One federal food program for low-income people that will be cut off is WIC, or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. It provides about 9 million low-income mothers who are pregnant or have young children with a stipend each month to buy healthy food.
However, Lee County Health Director Terrell Jones — whose department administers WIC to approximately 2,100 families in Lee County — said although federal funding was cut off, the state has promised to fund the program through October. So as long as the shutdown ends this month, he said, there shouldn't be any issues.
And no matter how long the shutdown lasts, Duckson said from his Jordan Lake office that he hopes people who are frustrated don't take it out on government employees.
"We're like the guy at the gas station," Duckson said. "He doesn't set the prices, but he's the face that people see, and he gets yelled at if the price is bad."

Georgetown County Sheriffs Investigators have charged two men for a strong armed robbery which occurred in Murrells Inlet.
On May 2, around 11:30 p.m. a man entered Not 2 Shabby located at 5190 Highway 17 Bypass through the unlocked front door, according to the Sheriffs Office.
The suspect pointed what appeared to be a hand gun at the victim and demanded money. The suspect then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash in an unknown direction of travel, a press release states.
Through an extensive investigation, two suspects were identified and arrested. Samuel Tyrice Coleman, 24, of 48 Bragdon Avenue in Georgetown is charged with one count of Armed Robbery While Armed with a Deadly Weapon, and one count of Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime. Soloman J. Coleman, 48, of 1223 Indian Hut Road, Georgetown is charged with one count of Armed Robbery While Armed with a Deadly Weapon.

Arizona Diamondbacks
New Diamondback Heath Bell ready for any role team gives him
New Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Heath Bell is coming off one of the worst seasons of his professional career.
Bell, 35, signed a big contract with the Miami Marlins as a free agent in the offseason, with the team expecting him to fill the role of closer.
The veteran struggled mightily out of gate, posting an 0-3 record with two saves and an ERA of 10.80 in April, and a 2-5 mark with a 6.75 ERA before the All-Star break.
He was yanked from the closer role after recording just 19 saves.
The second half of the veteran's season was much better -- it could not have been much worse -- as he went 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA in 29 innings of work.
That's the pitcher the D-backs believe they acquired, and it's the guy Bell thinks he's ready to be for his new team.
"I just think every great player has a down year, and it's really how you react the next year," Bell told a media gathering Friday at the D-backs Golf Classic. "I'm trying to get in the best shape possible and just trying to work real hard and cross the t's and dot the i's."
Bell established himself as one of the game's premier closers with the San Diego Padres. D-backs GM Kevin Towers was running the team then, and Bell credits him for giving him a chance to show his stuff.
That stuff, Bell said, was not lacking last season and should not be an issue going forward.
"There was just other stuff that happened that I really don't want to talk about," Bell said. "I just want to talk about my future with the Diamondbacks and this upcoming 2013 season."
Bell was part of an underachieving Marlins team that spent wildly in free agency only to finish last in the NL East with a 69-93 record. Outspoken and controversial manager Ozzie Guillen was fired after just one season with the team.
Away from that mess, Bell, who comes to the Diamondbacks with a career ERA of 3.30 and 153 saves, says he'll be happy to fill whatever role his team needs him to.
"Whatever they tell me to do, that's what I'm going to go out and do," the three-time All-Star said, noting that J.J. Putz is the team's incumbent closer and he may be needed earlier than the ninth inning most nights. He's fine with that.
"My role is to when the phone rings and my name is on the end to go out and get as many guys out until they pull me out of the game."

UFC boss says Frankie Edgar is not going to return to lightweight | News
"He's not going to 55," White told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps). "That's not going to happen."
Edgar headlined Saturday night's UFC 156 event in Las Vegas, where he was handed a unanimous-decision defeat after five hard-fought rounds with UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. In traditional Edgar fashion, "The Answer" absorbed damage early in the fight with Aldo lacing stiff jabs and thudding low kicks. But as the fight wore on, Edgar's non-stop motor propelled him to a late rally that thrilled fans but ultimately fell short.
The loss was Edgar's third straight defeat after he suffered a pair of controversial losses to current lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
White said he remains an Edgar fan, both as a fighter and a person, and for that reason he wants to prevent the former lightweight champion from returning to the 155-pound division.
"I like Frankie Edgar a lot as a person," White said. "Take away the whole fighting thing – I like him as a person, as a human being, and I don't ever want to see him at 155 pounds. The guys are too big and too strong at 155.
"Yes, I know he was the champion. I know he beat legends and had close fights and everything else, but you can only fight so long in those types of wars with bigger, stronger guys. It's not good."
Despite sporting a badly swollen eye and an obvious sense of disappointment, Edgar showed up to the evening's post-event press conference. Considerig his options mere moments after the fight, he admitted he wasn't sure what would come next in his career.
"I don't know what I'm doing, to be honest with you," Edgar said. "It's too soon."
White said Edgar was more than welcome to remain at featherweight, where he would have to get in a growing line of contenders before earning another title shot. However, Edgar's camp has recently suggested he might be able to make 135 pounds for the right opportunity.
White said he would be more than supportive of such a move.
"I like that better," White said. "The lower he goes, the happier I am. I don't want him going any higher."

Ao Luek : Bungalows & Guesthouses
From simple to upscale Phuket guesthouses and bungalows are a popular accommodation choice for visitors staying for a week to a year.
Rates vary depending on location and amenities offered. Depending on your length of stay the rates can be negotiable and no rental contracts are necessary.
Many restaurants have opted to expand into the guesthouse business and the rooms are usually located above the restaurant or bar.
Most guesthouses and bungalows in Phuket are located on the western side of the island though a few can be found on the eastern shores.
Consider transportation when choosing a place. Is it convenient to the areas you will be frequenting? Is breakfast included in the rates?
Costs will vary during the year with the least expensive during the "green season" or rainy season to higher rates from November through January.

Microsoft launched a software bundle for the most important products released under the Windows Live umbrella. Windows Live Installer (Beta) is very similar to Google Pack, but Microsoft doesn't include third-party software.
The confusing Windows Live brand brings together software and web apps that serve as an extension to Microsoft's operating system. It's pretty strange to include in the name of a webmail service the name of an operating system, even if Windows Live Hotmail also works on Linux and Mac.
Windows Live Installer has a triple role:
* to increase the adoption of Microsoft's search engine (there's an option to set Live Search as the default search engine)
* to bundle Microsoft's software offering in a unified package
* to integrate with Microsoft's web applications and to increase their usage and usefulness
"Windows Live makes it easy to store and manage your communications and information, and share what's going on in your life with the people who mean the most to you. (...) Today we're releasing beta versions of a new generation of Windows Live software designed for your Windows PC that makes it easier than ever to get connected to Windows Live or other services. (...) This new suite of applications is a new way that we can make connecting, communicating, and sharing anywhere a terrific experience on your Windows PC. Together with our web services, we have a complete suite that combines the best of the Web and the best of Windows, and works the way you want," explains Chris Jones, from Windows Live.
Essentially, Microsoft wants you to live in a "Windows Live World", where there's little difference between online and offline, but the installed software takes the central role. The software included in Microsoft's package have a consistent look and are tightly integrated:
* a sign-in assistant that lets you switch between your Windows Live identities the same way you switch between your Windows accounts (it works only in Internet Explorer).
* a shiny email client that looks and feels a lot like Microsoft Outlook. Windows Live Mail recognized my Gmail address and filled the POP3 settings for me, but it also provided me with an easy way to create a Hotmail address and to see the online status of my Messenger contacts.
* Windows Live Messenger, the software responsible for the huge popularity of Microsoft's social network, Windows Live Spaces.
* Windows Live Writer, an excellent blogging editor that works with most popular blog platforms, including Blogger and Windows Live Spaces.
* a photo gallery software that also installs Microsoft's desktop search tool and makes it easy to publish photos to Windows Live Spaces and videos to MSN Soapbox. Unfortunately, it wasn't able to index the "My Pictures" folder, but it has tags, ratings and an option to create panoramic pictures.
* the toolbar for Internet Explorer, whose main purpose is to let you search the web (with Live Search).
* Windows Live OneCare Family Safety is an online parental control service that helps "protect your kids from the online stuff you don't want them to see by filtering the Web sites they visit".
While many of these applications have counterparts in Google Pack, the integration between Google's products is almost non-existent or not very visible. Google also didn't use the opportunity of a software like Google Desktop to let you publish documents of the web or to send photos from Picasa to Google Talk.
Windows Live Installer has great software and a good distribution strategy could help it improve the awareness of the Windows Live brand and also keep people away from Google.

You better watch out...Santa Claus is coming tonight.
And you can track his progress as he makes his travels all over the world thanks to the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado.
They have the technology to follow Santa and his reindeer as they deliver holiday cheer all night.
Cick here to follow Santa's journey
You can watch as NORAD streams videos, captured by "Santa Cams," from numerous cities along Santa's journey.
The program began Dec. 24, 1955, when a child dialed a phone number that was misprinted in a newspaper advertisement and reached the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The commander at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station who answered the phone that night gave the youngster the information requested: Santa's whereabouts. This began the tradition of tracking Santa, a tradition that was carried on by NORAD when it was formed in 1958.

HAZARD — Volunteers at the emergency food pantry at the New Hope church in Hazard have been more than busy since last fall when the church offered its services to distribute commodities to Perry Countians every month.
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) is a federally funded program that works to improve the health of low-income individuals and families by offering free, nutritious food for those people.
Michael Barnett, pastor at New Hope, said the church receives the commodities from God's Pantry in Lexington every month. Until April, the church had only been offering pick up of the food once a month, but since space to store the food is limited and the number of families is growing, Barnett decided it would be better to have the food distribution twice a month, every other Tuesday.
"What we did was we kind of split the alphabet. Those people whose name starts with A-I come the first Tuesday and everybody else comes the next," Barnett explained. "This is the first month we've done it that way."
Barnett said God's Pantry approached him last fall, asking if the church would take over the distribution.
"I said we're really pretty busy already. He said here's where we're at, if you don't agree to do it then nobody in Perry County is going to get commodities. Well, when you put it like that," he said.
The church's emergency food pantry, which has been providing food to families in need for a few years already Barnett said, went from serving about 100 families a month to over 400 families a month. Handling the influx of families every weekday proved to be too much for the church's volunteers and their storage capabilities.
"We've got 10 freezers over there right now, one commercial one and nine you'd have in like your house. Last time the trucks came, the freezers were so full we had to borrow some freezer space from some local area businesses," Barnett said.
Barnett said it was for these reasons that the church decided to only have distribution two days a month, when the trucks actually come to drop the food off. This way, things are easier for the church and there are no storage crises.
"We did 176 families on April 9, which was the first time we did it that way. I predicted we'd get 225 families today," he said.
According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, to qualify for commodities the average annual income for a household of two must be less than $15,510.
Distribution has gone smoothly so far, Barnett said, since the church already has experience with food giveaways and pantries, however there is one thing the volunteers could use.
"You don't have to come to New Hope, this is not a New Hope church thing. The commodities is furnished by the U.S. government," he said. "Some of these folks (getting food) are elderly, some of these folks have disabilities, and what we need are some younger, healthy guys and gals that can help them over to their car with their boxes."
