This has got to be one of the most interesting locations for a public house. You have to drive across a narrow pier to get to a converted old cannery. Old wood floors and architecture make it seem like it could have been an old gathering spot for fishermen and cannery employees. Even the walk to the bathroom is interesting as it's outside of the restaurant area and has only been restored rather than updated. A good selection of Rogue beers in addition to having some guest taps makes for a good range of beers to choose from. Growlers and bottles are available for purchase. Service was prompt and friendly despite there being only the bartender to serve everyone. Food is good with a lot of it being cooked with the beer to make for some interesting flavors, although I think they could do more. Altogether it's a great experience in Astoria.

I have been to all of the Rogue locations and this is the best by far in my opinion. Rogue Astoria is on the eastern side of town as you go toward Portland. You have to actually drive across a pier to get to the bar which is pretty sweet. This place would be comparable to the actual brewery/public house in Newport except the waitreses here are friendly and knowledgeable about their beer, and beer in general. Food was excellent, but the beer as always is the reason I go to Rogue I love Rogue beer!! The thing that sets this place apart is the atmosphere (it an old Bumblebee cannery), and the service. The service I have had at the other Rogue locations is a complete joke, service here couldn't have been better. I wish I lived in Astoria because of this place.

The girlfriend and I had hit the road from Seattle to check out the scenic route down the Columbia River and into the peninsula area of southwest WA and eventually northwest OR. We stopped off at Cape Disappointment and decided we would cross over the bridge to stay the night in Astoria, OR. Essentially, Lewis and Clark style but they didn't have the privilege to discover a Rogue Ale House along their way.
It was by pure fluke we happened to stumble across this little gem. Upon arriving at the Comfort Inn, after a long day, we found out that just a walk away at the end of a hazy dimly lit pier was one of Rogues pubs. We unloaded our stuff and quickly headed down the boardwalk. The pier between Rogue and our hotel was home to a fair number of sea lions. We stopped off to take some pictures of these fine creatures.
Overall, being able to walk to this pub worked out well especially for those of us in the mood for some quality beer drinking. The location is very cool and even for the non beer drinker it would be well worth the visit.
The pub sits at the end of a pier. On a cloudy and rainy April evening you could make out the faint neon lights from the distance. We arrived to a fairly light crowd. It was about 7PM on a Wednesday. I was more concerned about which beers I was going to try as this would be my first time to have Rogue on tap.
The service was amazingly quick and friendly. The waiter immediately recommended the IIPA upon hearing it was our first time to try Rogue on draught. I had tried this offering previously (by the bottle) and it left a sour taste in my mouth. Though mainly this was because of the price. We were served two chalices of the IIPA and needless to say it was absolutely amazing. This is a first class double IPA and hit the spot after a long day of driving and sight seeing. It goes down quickly without the faintest hint of alcohol.
We ended up trying the Imperial Pilsner, the Imperial Porter, the 200 Meter IPA, the Mocha Porter, and the Hazelnut. All of these beers delivered. Most were recommended by the very friendly and accommodating staff.
The food was also very delicious and reasonably priced. They offered roughly a dozen and a half taps. Though I never took the time to inquire to the exact number. Lots of Rogue bottled beer and merchandise available for purchase as well.
The beer God's were on my side this day. I recommend taking a trip off the beaten path and ending up at Rogue in Astoria.

My wife and I stopped in for an afternoon snack on our way from Portland to Newport. Nothing much more to say that hasn't been said in other reviews. I believe that the cannery is a new development over the last couple of years so it is still a work in progress. I was also told by our waitress at the Rogue pub in Newport that this particular Publick House was a franchise and not run by Rogue proper. Don't know how correct this info is. Having said that it was a perfect place for a respite. We had some soup and chili which were both very good. Tried Kell's Irish Lager, Uber Pilsner, Mocha Porter and Chocolate Stout.

On a recommendation and out of curiosity (& hunger), my wife and stopped in to the Astoria Rogue on our way back to Portland. The pub is located at the end of Pier 39, which extends a couple hundred feet out over the Columbia River, and is accessed by a narrow, wooden extension of the pier. The place is spacious (a former cannery) and feels laid back and 'blue-collar', with high open-beamed ceilings, worn timber floors, various light fixtures and plenty of natural light. Bits of fishing lore (a canning machine for instance, adjacent to the requisite Rogue swag area) are scattered here and there. There's a small covered deck and plenty of table seating and at least a dozen stools at the bar.As mentioned in previous reviews, the restrooms are located in another part of the building, accessed by following painted lines along a bare concrete floor. One cool thing is the wall adjacent to the men's room: it's covered with handwritten names/dates/job titles left by hundreds of workers from the cannery's history.
Arriving a few minutes after noon on a pretty nice Sunday in April, I was a little surprised by how quiet the restaurant was.Our welcome wasn't much at all; a fairly aloof younger waitress gesturing that we could sit "wherever". We picked a table in the far corner with a window view to the west, where we could see the many piers, home-dotted hills, and bands of rainclouds hovering above the Astoria-Megler bridge in the distance. The view was nice, the service remained slow and unspired, including not remebering to discount our pints for showing my Rogue Nation Card...hmmm...
I didn't count, but I'd estimate around 20 Rogue taps and about 10 "guests" (ranging from local brewers like Caldera to Anchor, Shiner, Guinness and Budweiser...). I only grade a '4' for selection because it's only a portion of the whole Rogue lineup AND the crappy macros, took it down a half point. We ordered a couple beers: the Hazelnut Brown and the Half-E-Weizen. Both were good, served cool but not too cold. Would have had some of the stronger Imperials from the back of the beer menu, but I was driving... For lunch, the Willapa Steamer Clams were very good, meaty and swimming in a delicious broth (though pricy at almost $13), my wife had a Ribeye Philly Cheese Steak from the 'special' board - a nice hearty open-faced sandwich bursting with good-tasting steak, peppers & onions for under $10. Beer cheese soup was pretty mediocre. Food & beer costs are a little high (lunch was $36 before tip) - why they (Rogue) endemically charge so much more than other pubs I don't understand. Counting on the 'Rogue' name I guess.
All in all, a nice place to visit & worth a stop when in Astoria...

Stopped by here on a whim on our way into Astoria. This is now my favorite Rogue location. Pier 39 is scenic and very interesting.
The owner served us and was very nice and personable. When he asked what kind of beer I liked, I told him pretty much everything. He came back with a taster of Old Crusty for me. We had a number of beers and a very tasty lunch.
The 'Rogue Burger' was the special for $9.00. It was definately worth the cost--generous amount of bacon, ham, egg, swiss and cheddar. As a bonus, it was cooked perfectly and not burnt. We also got an appetizer of the garlic hazelnut bread--very good.
Tap selection is about what you'd expect from Rogue. They also had a number of Pyramid beers and the Caldera Dry Hop Orange on tap.
Great food, service, location and pretty good selection of beer. This will now be a regular stop for me when I am in the area.

I was tempted to not stop here as Ive already been to four other casa-de-Rogues and my schedule (yeah, like Ive got a schedule) was pressing. First point: worth the visit, even if youve been to Newport, Portland, or Eugene City. Rogues latest has been born from the transformed remains of a pre-WWII fishing cannery on a pier jutting into the Columbia River. The building sits on pilings with the rivers waters flowing gently beneath the floor. Inside, the atmosphere is spacious and low-key. Floors are exposed cement except for an elevated dining area built of worn, varnished planks. Seating here affords spectacular views of sunsets across the river and the Willapa Hills of Washington State. Fishing boats depart from the adjoining basin and bats flutter in the night. A covered porch allows for outdoor dining and majestic views of the Astoria Bridge.
Pier 39 is about a mile east of Astorias city center. From downtown, I recommend the scenic walk along the bike path/trolley tracks where youll pass the maritime museum and perhaps hear barking sea lions. If you drive to the pier, be advised that parking is limited, theres no turnaround for RVs, and cars must pass one at a time to reach the restaurant.
Nearly all of Rogues beerish legacy is served on draught though taps dont always rotate in a timely manner and less popular beers can grow stale in the interim. The atmosphere is informal, inviting, and festive with customary Rogue eccentricities. Service is prompt and inspired. Bottled beer can be purchased to go though the selection is less extensive than at other Rogue outposts.
A note about the bathrooms: You must leave the restaurant entirely to reach them. This entails following a colored line painted on the warehouse floor and walking outdoors past retired cannery apparatus. Its an unexpected excursion and may take longer than you think, though it affords you the opportunity to inspect the rest of the pier with its offices, coffee shop, and a museum-like display of old fishing boats. Ive never been here in winter, but I imagine the airy interior of this rehabilitated fish processing station must be a challenge to keep warm.
Food is routine though enjoyable. The pizza is like a loaf of bread with toppings and makes for a fine breakfast the next day.

Was in Astorai a few weeks back attending a Patricia Green wine dinner, when I just happened to come upon this latest addition to the Rogue empire.
The location is just outside of town in an old riverfront warehouse facility. There's a coffee shop there as well, but most of the facility appears to be devoted to fishing, etc. The pub looked very new, with not a lot of folks there at lunch time on a Saturday. The owner/manager greeted us as we came in, one of those things that is a sure sign the place just opened and the manager wants to make sure you know he appreciates your business. The place is good size with high ceilings, and the atmosphere relaxed. They had the full gamut of Rogue beers, as well as a few guest beers. I got a pint of the Imperial IPA (I don't think you're supposed to be able to get a pint of the XS reserve line beers), and they were happy to give me a discount on the price once I showed my Rogue nation card. I'm pretty sure we were considerably undercharged as the bartender really wasn't sure what she was supposed to do when I showed my Rogue Card (she had to go ask the owner/manager). Also, as I mentioned, she was serving us pints of their Imperial IPA, as well as the Russian Imperial Stout, something that I believe is not supposed to happen.
I didn't order any food, but what I saw looked pretty good. Nothing special, just the usual pub grub, but it didn't look bad.
I can't say it was a memorable visit, but we had a good time, and sitting around drinking Rogue beers is never too arduous a chore. I'd definitely go back and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Astoria... especially anyone particularly fond of Rogue beer. It's a nice addition to this small, ocean meets the Columbia River, town.

We each face many climatic stages in our lives. As we move forward to either conquer or to change our fears we are approached with conflict and resolution. Some of these conflicts consist of: work-related issues, people, family, and or other things. When faced with these we either are able to stand up and rise or we are left hanging to dry. Now the question that comes to mind is: can Americans move in the right direction again?
As an American every person is faced with struggle, strife and turmoil from other nations. We all are thought of as being different, innovative and also behind. But we also are known as being the example for other nations. Yes, we need to get that back. How do we do that?
There are several ways to get back on track: first, people need to be consistent in action, word and deed. Second, people need to be smart about their actions by doing what is right. If everyone follows these two things they will serve this country greatly.
Importance and understanding is where we need to be. We also need to adjust to the problems when we are faced by them. Winning any battle takes more than just good talk and good action. It take right talk and right action. Let us act right and be able to justify what we do day in and day out.

This is just the first of an upcoming avalanche of unnecessary pet projects in the "You vote for mine, I'll vote for yours" program now firmly established in town, guaranteeing Sudbury's place at or near the top of highest taxed towns in the state. Let's count up just a fraction of upcoming pet projects: New police station $7.9 Million, Town Hall Renovation $9 Million, Community Center $6 Million, Rt 20 Sewer $10 million. Home prices are stagnant here because everyone knows Sudbury taxes are out of control. Buyers get the same environment and schools in other towns for 30% less in taxes. The fix will be in. They will simply force passage of the most expensive, least value option because of taxpayer apathy. Some projects must be carefully analyzed while seeking aid from other sources to assist in payment: LS roof (who allows a contract for commercial roof construction that lasts only a few years?), other roofs, Sherman's bridge, Pension and Retiree Health Care shortfall. Insiders control town meeting. Everyone knows town meeting is a hangout for entrenched interests to rubber-stamp each other's projects, guaranteeing approval for insider wish lists. The taxpayers lose every time. Only the taxpayers at town meeting and elections can keep millions from being wasted.

So our brothers died that day because some company and building owner we're to frigin ignorant to follow laws. Absoulte BULLSHIT.

Seniors guards Quantice Hunter (left) and Quentin Ruff have played leading roles in helping Larkin build an 18-3 record. | Sean King~For Sun-Times Media
Larkin coach Deryn Carter refers to them as the two Q's. Royals fans know them as the senior guards keying the program's resurgence.
Quantice Hunter and Quentin Ruff get lumped together for many reasons, from their status as the team's top two scorers to their identical 6-foot height to their long-range shooting prowess to their ability to play lock-down defense.
Although Hunter and Ruff don't have the biggest profiles outside the Elgin area, there is no overstating their importance to a Larkin squad that owns an 18-3 record and has asserted itself as a force to be reckoned with in the Chicago suburbs.
"(Hunter and Ruff) set the tone more than anybody knows," Larkin coach Deryn Carter said. "It all starts in practice because they just compete, whether they are guarding each other or on the same team. You can't ask for much more than some of the leadership they provide."
Lifting Larkin to prominence
When Hunter arrived on the varsity level as a sophomore he was part of a Royals team that went 4-23 for the program's fifth straight losing season. Larkin made major strides last year as evidenced by its 16-12 record, and now the team appears poised for a long run at the top of the Upstate Eight River.
Hunter and Ruff are two of only four seniors on the Royals roster along with reserves Jason Barnhart and Hannibal Marshall. After Hunter and Ruff, Larkin's next six top scorers include five juniors and a sophomore.
Even more talent is waiting in the wings in the form of Christian Negron, a 6-foot-8 eighth grader who wowed the crowd Saturday with his dunking ability and all-around skills as Larkin's feeder programs took the court at halftime of the varsity team's win against St. Charles North.
The future might be bright for the Royals, but the present is certainly bathed in the spotlight too. Larkin is No. 21 in this week's Sun-Times Super 25 and tied for first in the UEC River, and Hunter and Ruff are determined to set a high bar for the groups to follow.
"We really want to make it difficult to get to what we're doing," Ruff said. "We want the younger guys to work for it."
Added Hunter: "I really want to leave the program better than it has ever been. A lot of the younger kids look up to us and they can't wait until they come to Larkin. We've shown where hard work can get you, so they know they can't just come in here and think it's going to be easy."
Filling up the stat sheet
For all their similarities, Hunter and Ruff bring slightly different skill sets to the table. Ruff is one of the area's best pure shooters, and Hunter has an all-around game to drool over.
A look at Hunter's statistics underscore his ability to impact a game on many levels. He leads the team with 16.1 points per game and also averages 4.1 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.5 assists to go along with 41 three-pointers.
"Last year coach Carter told me I'm one of the people on the team we need to do everything for us to be successful. " Hunter said. "I started focusing on rebounding more, trying to get some post touches, defending better and passing."
Added Carter: "Quantice went from being a sophomore shooter to an all-around, all-area player now."
Ruff is averaging 13.5 points, and his 2.1 steals per game highlight his ability to defend. But three-point shooting is Ruff's specialty, and he has drained a team-best 52 treys this season.
Like Hunter, Ruff had a growth spurt early in high school, opening the door for him to play positions other than just point guard. Last year his three-point stroke was more of a set shot, but during the summer he worked to make it something he could create on the move.
"(Ruff's) jump-shot motion is really smooth," Carter said. "It's short, so there's not a lot of area for it to go off. When he gets in a groove, it's just muscle memory. The kid can really shoot."
Keeping an eye on the next level
Carter said the college prospects for Hunter and Ruff have grown lately as more coaches pay attention to their exploits, but for now their offers are few and far between.
When asked about their futures, Hunter and Ruff express a willingness to be patient as the process plays out, with the option of starting out at a junior college and working up from there a possibility for both.
"They've both put themselves in position to play college basketball, which is more than most get to say," Carter said. "They come from great families, and what's most important for them is getting that college degree.
"Every kid dreams of being a high level Division-I player, but what they don't see is how valuable that college degree is. (Hunter and Ruff) will both be presented with good options, and it will come down to what's best for them and their families."

Almost no one today remembers Margaret Thatcher's long history with Iraq. But few people beyond Saddam Hussein played a greater role in shredding the country into tiny little pieces. Here are some highlights:
Despite Thatcher's government being officially neutral in the Iran-Iraq war, and having voted for a UN Security Council resolution calling on all countries not to further escalate the conflict, she was eager to sell Saddam Hussein's government as many British weapons as possible:
One prime-ministerial brief recommended that the best way to avoid public condemnation but to still make money from Iraq was to sell only non-lethal equipment but to "define this narrowly".
"Contracts worth over £150m have been concluded [with Iraq] in the last six months including one for £34m (for armoured recovery vehicles through Jordan)," writes Thomas Trenchard, a junior minister, in a secret letter to Mrs Thatcher in March 1981.
The letter also says that a meeting with Saddam Hussein "represent a significant step forward in establishing a working relationship with Iraq which ... should produce both political and major commercial benefits".
Mrs Thatcher wrote by hand at the top of the letter that she was "very pleased" by the progress being made.
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait almost certainly never would have happened without American and British support for Iraq during the eighties. And even once it happened, it likely could have been reversed without war. But Thatcher was instrumental in making sure Iraqis would be punished for having a leader who disobeyed orders and was getting too big for his britches:
Thatcher Reminds Bush: 'Don't Go Wobbly'
On Aug. 2, 1990, the morning after Iraq occupied Kuwait, Mr. Bush told reporters: "We're not contemplating intervention. I'm not contemplating such action."
Then he flew to Aspen, Colo.
There he met Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister. They talked for hours.
That afternoon, at a joint press conference, Mr. Bush condemned "naked aggression" and said he was considering "the next steps needed to end the invasion."
In a strange and underappreciated way, Thatcher also played a key role in motivating Bush to invade Iraq:
According to [favored Bush family biographer Mickey] Herskowitz, George W. Bush's beliefs on Iraq were based in part on a notion dating back to the Reagan White House – ascribed in part to now-vice president Dick Cheney, Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee under Reagan. "Start a small war. Pick a country where there is justification you can jump on, go ahead and invade."
Bush's circle of pre-election advisers had a fixation on the political capital that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher collected from the Falklands War. Said Herskowitz: "They were just absolutely blown away, just enthralled by the scenes of the troops coming back, of the boats, people throwing flowers at [Thatcher] and her getting these standing ovations in Parliament and making these magnificent speeches."
Beyond her indirect influence on Bush, Jr., Thatcher also directly called for the invasion of Iraq in a July 17, 2002 Wall Street Journal op-ed, which featured her trademark combination of total factual inaccuracy and bloodthirstiness:
Don't Go Wobbly
Saddam must go...It is clear to anyone willing to face reality that the only reason Saddam took the risk of refusing to submit his activities to U.N. inspectors was that he is exerting every muscle to build WMD.
Finally, just like all great leaders, Thatcher was willing to rewrite her own history at a moment's notice when useful. After it became clear the invasion of Iraq was a catastrophe even for the interests she cared about, Thatcher pretended she never supported it in the first place:
The former chairman of the Arts Council of Great Britain, Lord Palumbo, who lunched with Mrs. T six months ago, told me recently what she said when he asked her if, given the intelligence at the time, she would have made the decision to invade Iraq. "I was a scientist before I was a politician, Peter," she told him carefully. "And as a scientist I know you need facts, evidence and proof – and then you check, recheck and check again. The fact was that there were no facts, there was no evidence, and there was no proof. As a politician the most serious decision you can take is to commit your armed services to war from which they may not return."

Stocks ended lower in thin trading Monday, with the S&P and the Nasdaq posting a loss for the month of April, following a handful of mixed economic reports in addition to news that Spain slipped into a recession.
Still, the Dow managed to squeeze out a small gain for the month, logging its seventh-consecutive monthly win. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq declined 0.75 percent and 1.46 percent for the month, respectively.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 14.68 points, or 0.11 percent, to close at 13,213.63, brought down by BofA and Caterpillar .
The S&P 500 declined 5.45 points, or 0.39 percent, to end at 1,397.91. The Nasdaq slumped 22.84 points, or 0.74 percent, to finish at at 3,046.36.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended above 17.
Most key S&P sectors finished in negative territory, led by industrials and techs.
"I'm a little worried about what we're approaching over the next several weeks," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategists at Janney Montgomery Scott on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "Over the last 4 to 6 weeks, we've seen sequentially slowing economic data points in the U.S., which not indicative of necessarily entering a recession, but not overly encouraging in what is necessary to support elevated equity prices or enough to bid up earnings."
On the economic front, Midwest business activityslowed in April from the prior month, according to the Chicago ISM. And household income logged its biggest gain in three months, according to the Commerce Department, but consumer spending only edged up 0.3 percent.
The string of mixed economic news follows last week's GDP report that showed U.S. economic growth cooled in the first quarter, bolstering the Federal Reserve's case that interest rates should be kept near zero at least though late 2014.
"I'm more of the opinion that we're going to see the Fed pause for some time just to see where the data points run before they feel inclined to come to the rescue, but the market seems to continue to be teased by the hopes that we're going to see [more QE] so I think we'll see a floor under equity prices," added Luschini.
Spain fell back into technical recessionbut the figure for first-quarter economic performance was better than expected. This comes after Standard & Poor's downgraded the country's sovereign debt last week lowered the credit rating of 16 Spanish banks. European shares finished lower.
Barnes & Noble skyrocketed after Microsoft said it will invest $300 millionin the bookstore chain's digital and college businesses. The new deal will give Microsoft a 17.6 percent stake in the new unit.
Rival Amazon.com gained, while Apple tumbled more than 3 percent to close below $585 a share.
Delta Airlines said it has closed a deal to purchase a ConocoPhillips refinery in Pennsylvania for $180 million.
Sunoco soared to lead the S&P 500 gainers after Energy Transfer Partners announced it will acquire the oil companyin a cash and stock deal worth $5.3 billion in an aim to focus on transporting more crude oil and refined products on the heels of declining natural gas prices.
Among other M&A news, Gen-Probe surged after Hologic said it would buy the biotech company in a deal worth about $3.75 billion to expand its diagnostic business.
And Pall Corp said it will sell some of its blood collection, filtration and processing product lines to Haemonetics for about $550 million.
China Eastern Airlines said it has agreed to buy 20 new Boeing B777-300ER aircrafts valued at $5.94 billion based on the 2011 price catalogue.
In earnings news, NYSE Euronext said its profits fell by almost a third in the first quarter due to a difficult trading environment and costs from its failed merger with Deutsche Boerse.
Scholastic boosted its earnings forecast, thanks by stronger-than-expected sales of the Hunger Games following the film's release. Still, shares of the children's publisher erased its earlier gains to end lower.
Anadarko Petroleum and Shutterfly are scheduled to post earnings after the closing bell.

However, with this to take pride in, there is still the issue that this may be the most download appalling thing about the phone; when jailbreak it comes to functionality, there is a certain degree of frustration that comes with the device.
The aspect of limiting the access of applications to the Apple store is one that many iPhone owners have a hard time making peace with. This is not because the store is under stocked as far as applications and general content is concerned, but rather because every attempt to own and have one of the items has to be treated as a purchase. The owners, after buying the phone, now have to incur and extra expense every time they look into the adding on of applications on to there gadgets. The fact that the software is needed makes it all the more beneficial to the Apple organization but quite a frustration to the customer.
This is what leads to the need to have the device freed in a manner of speaking, such that it can then be able to source for and receive applications from other avenues apart from their Apple store. This process of unlocking iPhone 4 can be achieved in 2 ways, and often times, there choice is more significant to the users who have little to no knowledge of how this is achieved.
Given that there have been reports of users trying to unlock their iPhones and in the process having damaged them, there is need for them to think through the options below:
? In unlocking iPhone 4 ensure that in all the attempts being offered to free the phone, none is a breech of any legislation. Not all avenues that are advertised are legitimate sources of the unlocking procedures. Anyone could claim to be a professional.

Look for more ways to both customize the phone as well as get rid of extra charges, common with the roaming costs that are offered by networks worldwide.
How to unlock the iPhone
The iPhone is, without a doubt, the single most popular electronic device in America and from the entire world. First released in 2007, Apple's smart phone now sells millions of units each year, obtaining billions of dollars in profits.
However, the brand is quite restrictive when it comes to features and apps available across the globe. Moreover, Apple prohibits the iPhone's upgrading using third party software or apps, which can only contribute to the overall sense of frustration experimented by its users. Unlocking Apple iPhone is the common spread technique which allows users to enjoy a world without restrains.
What does the unlocking of Apple iPhone mean? First of all, users of previous versions can enjoy the features and the apps of more recent versions. For example, if a customer bought the iPhone 4, he can still run an improved version of the device's iOS and enjoy the apps created especially for the iPhone 4S. Unlocking the Apple iPhone also means that one can uninstall the phone's personal operational system (OS) and replace it with another one, for example, Linux. Virtually, one will be able to enjoy the exact same features and benefits as if they would browse through their own laptops or personal computers.
Although unlocking Apple iPhone might bring dozens of benefits, Apple's politics does not fully conceive this act. For those who already paid the full price of the phone, as well as the subscription period, unlocking the Apple iPhone should be a piece of cake. All the customers need to do is head towards the nearest company subsidiary or directly to Apple and ask for the unlocking code. The carrier that is most likely to hand in the code is T&T. After the request is made, he or she should check the IMEI phone number. The IMEI phone number which can be found inside the settings is unique for each device. After handling in the secret number, the customer will receive the jailbreak code within 1 or 2 days via email. The next step is to quickly and carefully follow the instructions after entering the code and enjoy the simplest method of unlocking the Apple iPhone.
However, there are other countless free and paid methods of enjoying an iPhone without restrictions. Most free methods are applicable for older iPhone versions which were less protected against these tactics. For those owning an iPhone 4S or the newest iPhone 5, phone unlocking could be trickier.
For those owning the 4S simple device, rules are simple:
' Connect your phone to the Internet and download one of the many free unlocking tools.
' Go to 'Settings' menu and after to the general page. Make sure you turn off the 3G connection service.
' Find the downloaded unlocking tool on your phone. In order to get the most recent version of the software, make sure you go to the search page.
' Simply run the program onto your phone and follow the given instructions.
' Switch off or restart your phone to allow the software to make the settings and enjoy a free iPhone 4S.

Normally people prefer carriers that charge the least tariff but in case of iPhones, the lure of low initial rates makes people go for these gadgets. It is only after using them for a few months that customers realize how they are being taken for a ride. Throwing the SIM of the carrier who sold the iPhone to you is not a problem as you will find that the phone does not work with any other SIM. This is where jailbreaking comes to the rescue of iPhone 4S owners.

These people are known by different names such as hackers and developers. These people have helped thousands of iPhone owners so far by jailbreaking their gadgets.
Jailbreaking VS Unlocking:
Apple has been in the know of all the activities of dev teams that get to work trying to find ways to jailbreak iPhone as soon as the company comes out with a new model. But this time around Apple has made jailbreaking very difficult even for the most seasoned of hackers by introducing a new part in the hardware of iPhone 4S and that is the chipset called A5. This is why jailbreak iPhone 4s is the most difficult. But there is nothing to worry as there are still many ways to achieve jailbreak for your iPhone 4S and you too can get your jailbreak iPhone 4sed provided you find a solution that is safe and efficient.
The following is a guide that describes in detail how to jailbreak your iPhone 4S. If you have the confidence, you can try these steps to achieve jailbreak for your iPhone 4S.
Step 1: Get the desired software from SAM
Step 2: make sure the firmware matches the version of your iPhone 4S
Step 3: Install and launch the tool on your computer
Step 4: Click on Utilities, and once inside search for the option of Deactivate
Step 5: Enter the right codes for your country and the carrier inside the firmware
Step 6: SAM asks for the IMSI number of your device
Step 7: Make use of the USB port to connect your gadget with your computer
Step 8: Go to iTunes and try to activate the phone
Step 9: The iPhone has been jailbreaked
How to jailbreak 4S iPhones safely

Controversial plans to replace Bournemouth church with student housing rejected by council
1:00pm Monday 23rd December 2013 in News By Jenny Awford
CONTROVERSIAL plans to replace a disused church with student housing have been rejected by Bournemouth council's planning board.
More than 40 residents from Victoria Park in Bournemouth submitted objections about the proposed accommodation block for 46 students taking over the site of a former Apostolic Church.
Concerns were raised over the increased noise and anti-social behaviour as well as the lack of parking spaces.
The application was turned down by eight votes to two with one abstention at the planning board meeting on December 16.
Chairman of the planning board David Kelsey said: "There were a lot of vociferous deputations and a group of residents who really made their voices heard.
"Although the university does bring huge benefits, there are cases where you have to put the local residents first.
"I think it came as quite a surprise to them, a nice early Christmas present."
Ward councillor Nicola Greene argued the residents' case at the planning board meeting.
She said: "It was really about the scale and impact of the proposed block. The plans were revised but the changes didn't address the residents' concerns."
Professor Keith Phalp, of Victoria Park Road, said: "I understand that there is a need for accommodation, particularly given the growth in student numbers.
"However, this should not be allowed to ruin the lives of existing residents, particularly where the prime motivation seems to be one of private profit."
The plans were put forward by planning agent Ken Parke Planning Consultants on behalf of Barton Estates UK Limited.
Their application claimed building new purpose-built accommodation will reduce pressure on family homes and the Art Deco-style design would enhance the area.

Gain the multidisciplinary skills required of effective construction managers by completing your Graduate Certificate in Construction Management at Goodwin College.
The construction industry plays a critical role in underpinning the U.S. economy and constructing the built environment, which is essential to the quality of American life. The annual value of construction in the United States now exceeds $1 trillion, representing more than 8 percent of the gross domestic product.
Construction organizations are challenged to meet ever-increasing owner demands, tighter project delivery times, and increasing regulation of buildings.

Well, friends, I don't know how much longer I'll be here at the MDC boards.
Went to the RE again this morning after 9 failed IUI attempts, four of them on Clomid, and still not pg.
RE advised laparoscopy , then injectable hormones .
The laparoscopy I can handle - it's kind of scary, but I might have endo or something that she could fix. It will also likely be covered by my insurance.
BUT.........If she finds nothing obviously wrong, she will say "do the injectables". There is no way that I can do injectables. The cost of the hormones alone she told me is around $1000 per month, and is *not* covered by my insurance. On top of the already $500 or so I spend per month on IUI and bloodwork this is impossible. I'm not made of money. I already work a second job just to support my ttc habit!!
Soooooooo....... I will probably have the lap done next month sometime (assuming, and it's a safe assumption, that the IUI I have done this Thursday doesn't work). If my doctor still finds nothing wrong, I think I am going to have to stop ttc and seek other means of having children in my life. This is heartbreaking for me. One of my friends has been saving baby clothes for me for a year now.
It hurts me too much to continue to come here as much as I have been this past year, now that I have so little hope left. Best of luck to all of you in your ttc adventures - may all your dreams come true!

Everything you need to understand or teach The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde.
"The Canterville Ghost" was first published serially in 1887 in Court and Society Review, a magazine for the leisured upper classes. The story did not immediately receive much critical attention, and indeed Wilde was not viewed as an important author until the publication, during the 1890s, of his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) and of several well-received plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). In 1891, "The Canterville Ghost" was republished in Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, and Other Stories.
The collected stories were severely criticized by contemporary reviewers; early critics found Wilde's work unoriginal and derivative. More recently critics have celebrated Wilde's ability to play with the conventions of many genres. In "The Canterville Ghost," Wilde draws upon fairy tales, Gothic novels, and stories of Americans abroad to shape his comic ghost story. Though Wilde offers a comic treatment, he finds inspiration for Sir Simon's character in Alfred Tennyson's serious...
