Security researchers are warning of the newest Facebook threat, something they're calling "likejacking," a Facebook-enabled clickjacking attack that tricks users into clicking links that mark the clicked site as one of your Facebook "likes." These likes then show up on your profile and, of course, in your Facebook News Feed where your friends can see the link and click it, allowing the vicious, viral cycle to continue.
According to security firm Sophos, hundreds of thousands of users have already fallen for this new "likejacking" trick thanks to the clever and tantalizing linkbait the spammers use to entice people to click their links. For example:

What a SPREAD! Shrimp and crab by the bushels, prime rib, ham, pizza, pasta, fruit, fresh berries, Pacific Rim (oriental) entrees, soups and salads - and breakfast besides! An omlette station for fresh eggs and omlettes, a bakery station with fresh Belgian waffles and baked goodies, grilled pork chops, eggs Benedict, the list goes on and on. I hate to admit it, but we ate for almost 3 hours. By the way, leave room for dessert (You'll have to see it to believe it!).
Drinks are included in the price, and when I was there that included about anything you could want- coffee, juice, soft drinks, beer, wine, and champagne. Try it, you'll like it(just remember to wear your relaxed fit jeans), and oh - almost forgot: the place even has a view!

Homelessness remains a big problem facing Chicago and the state of Illinois, particularly for military veterans. The Pritzker Military Library is doing its part to stop the trend.
The library was founded by retired colonel J.M. Pritzker in 2003. It spans 40,000 square feet, and three floors of the historic and beautiful Monroe Building. Pritzker assembled a major collection of books and related materials on military history, with a focus on the citizen soldier.
The library is dedicated to promoting an open public forum to discuss and debate, the past, present and future of the military.
"Our oldest book is the history of the Low Country Wars from 1650, translated from Latin to old English," president and CEO Ken Clark said. "That's the copy we have."
But Clark said that is just the beginning. In the ten years since its inception, they have amassed 700 items: Books, objects and artifacts.
They include a flag from the Spanish-American War from 1898, a rare book collection - including a series of books written by Captain James Cook from the 1770s on his travels to Hawaii and the South Seas – and even hand written notes that date back to the Civil War.
"We have a militia man's notebook from 1777," Cleark said. "He was a New Hampshire guy that wrote about how the food was horrible and the weather was horrible. The same type of thing you get from people in any conflict. They pretty much talk about the same things."
But as to what the most important aspects of what the Pritzker Military Library is and can offer today's veteran, Clark hears the same thing over and over:
"Jobs are a big challenge," Clark said. "The other thing we hear is that it's hard to navigate the sea of goodwill that is out there, for our veterans returning home. There are a lot of places offering services, but it's hard to figure out what is what and who is who."
The Pritzker Military Library is located at 104 S. Michigan Avenue.
FOX 32 News will tackle that issue and others affecting veterans in a live web special on Thursday. The webcast will air live from the Pritzker Military Library from 2–5 p.m.

You Can't Be Serious: Hooded Gunmen Bust In A Church And Open Fire In Richmond, California! (Shooting 2 Teens)
Description: "Richmond police were looking for three men Sunday they said opened fire on the parishioners inside a church, leaving two teens wounded. Witnesses said three male suspects entered the New Gethsemane Church of God In Christ Inc. at 2100 Roosevelt Ave. at about 12:30 p.m. where about 100 people were inside attending the service, Richmond police Sgt. Bisa French said. Police said the three males suspects wore hoods and came into the church possibly to see who was inside then left. When they came back, one or more of them opened fire, injuring a 14-year old boy and 19-year old man." - KT News

Her name's Melissa Bachman. She kills wild animals on American TV for a living. Sometimes with a rifle, sometimes with bow and arrow. Then she killed a full-maned male lion, and posted a picture of herself, cradling her rifle, laughing triumphantly, while the once-magnificent lion sprawled dead at her feet. And all hell broke loose.
Startups often have to deal with one or all of three big issues: lack of capital, brand recognition and product penetration. While these are real threats and pose the biggest risk to success, startups often have advantages that cannot be found in large, established companies. Educating talent on these benefits helps them make an informed decision between the bright lights of the behemoth and the siren's call of the startup. So, what exactly are these benefits?
The story and process behind a product is every bit as important as the product itself. The intangibility of what went into what you're buying gives it life, identity and value. Something purchased from Amazon isn't just "less expensive," but carries the entrepreneurial history of Jeff Bezos, the marvel of the company's state-of-the-art robotic selection and distribution system, and so on.
Before you start lighting up those pitchforks and come after us marketers with a mix of mass hysteria and moral panic, take a look at your own online behavior and ask yourself, which scenario you prefer? Go to Amazon and start shopping (presuming you have been there before), and ask yourself, "what is the experience like?"
Tax arbitrage, or moving operations and tax liabilities to low-cost jurisdictions, has been a game played by rich people and multinationals for years. But the game is ending finally. This will have implications in terms of government revenues to pay for social services but will also have a negative impact on the profits and share prices of giants such as Google, Amazon and virtually every multinational that's a household name.
As a marketing professional, there is nothing I hate more than receiving any form of communication (email, Web experience, social media, mobile, whatever) and not see an obvious place where I can either opt out of the communication or protect how much information is being captured. As a consumer, I probably hate it more.
What will Apple do next? What is the technology that will disrupt the iPhone and iPad business? If you have read Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography (and I strongly recommend that you do), there was a very telling (and compelling) line from Jobs: "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will."
Once upon a time I wrote a book about being a journalist in the 21st century. I was leafing through its pages last evening, when I stopped at the chapter The Less Things Change... It's about my time, 50 years ago, working as reporter/anchor at a startup TV station in Zambia. The chapter starts by describing how we got our foreign news film back there in the 60s. Even after all these years, much is still the same.
Literary writing is a worthless profession. Few who write novels, stories and poems make a living from them. This has been true for millennia. Lately the Internet has regressed into a society of feudal manors lorded over by tech giants like Amazon, Apple and Yahoo, who sell e-books for 99 cents or give them away for free. Their "competitive pricing" is threatening traditional publishers and physical books with extinction.
Even though their prices have dropped, we still need commodities, products and services. And because these parts of the economy are so deeply entrenched, decades worth of innovation have focused on reducing cost - -this means automation. If it's cheaper to have systems or robots extract, refine, make, or deliver, it will be done -- no matter the industry.
Do you actively seek out different opinions than your own, or unwittingly reinforce your personal conventional wisdom by only consuming "agreeable" content? While we may think it is the former, too often we live in a bubble. Here are some reasons why we're not as open-minded or as free as we may think, and how the internet is really preventing us from experiencing new things.
Recently, a very senior marketing professional who works at one of the world's largest corporations was recounting a story of how they saw a postal truck outside of their corporate head offices in Silicon Valley, and every single parcel that was being offloaded from this truck was from Amazon. He thought to himself: "This is the what retail looks like in 2012."

Satellite Datasets in Development
Ongoing Satellite Dataset Development includes:
|Spatial Information
|Temporal Information
|Geostationary Surface Albedo
|Land surface albedo as derived from GOES-8, GOES-10, and GOES-12 visible channel data. Ancillary input data include NCEP values for total column water vapor and ozone. This is NOAA's Level 2 contribution to an international SCOPE-CM project, which will produce a near-global Level 3 land surface albedo product from a constellation of 5 geostationary satellites.
|Land only; 70N–70S, 160E–10W; 2km
|10-day; 2000–2003
|HIRS Temperature and Moisture Profiles
|A neural network approach is applied to estimate atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity from HIRS channel brightness temperatures.
|Global; varying resolution
Twice daily per satellite; 1979–2009
|AMSU Near-surface Temperature and Moisture
|Retrievals of near surface temperature and moisture from AMSU. The goal is to use such data to help estimate surface heat fluxes over the ocean.
|Ocean only; 1 deg.
Daily; 2001–2006
|CDR RSS V7 SSM/I Tb
|The RSS Version-7 FCDR from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) for the entire 25+ year brightness temperature period of record. There are three major changes in the Version 7 processing: (1) the water vapor continuum absorption model was re-derived, (2) the clear-sky bias in cloud water was removed and the data format for cloud water was changed, and (3) the beamfilling correction in the rain algorithm was modified.
|Global; varying resolution

What's Acoustics anyway?
Why do people buy acoustic products? For sure there has to be a reason for investing in sound control products, and that is simply the need to take the best out of our sound systems in our rooms.

Weaver went on to win a highly competitive Class 3A, Area 10. For that and leading the Bearcats to a 22-10 finish and their first Northeast Regional appearance since 2008, Hamby was named The Anniston Star's Class 3A boys coach of the year for Calhoun County.
English missed four games with a hand injury, a stretch that saw Weaver play higher-classified opponents, including 5A Southside and 6A Spain Park. It was a time for English's supporting cast to take shots that Hamby wanted them to take before English was hurt.
"A lot of times, what you get with a team like we had with Chris being such a great player is sometimes the other good players tend to look at Chris too much," Hamby said. "A lot of people on the outside looking in might be thinking, 'Well, Chris is shooting the ball maybe more than he should.'
"A lot of times, our guys passed up shots. They were so used to him (English) scoring, and this gave us a chance to develop more as a team."
English was injured in the Calhoun County tourney final against Oxford on Jan. 21 and sat out of a 62-40 rout of Wellborn the next night. He played the first half of a 56-53 area loss to Saks on Jan. 25, scoring 14 points, but didn't play again until Feb. 8 in the area tournament.
In between, Weaver lost 59-45 to Spain Park but beat Faith Christian 81-63 and 4A Munford 67-61.
Weaver's overall development showed in the postseason, with the Bearcats beating White Plains and Piedmont in the area tournament and Glencoe in the sub-regional.
A lack of size — Timothy Hawkins was a small forward having to play post — cost the Bearcats in the Northeast Regional. They lost 72-65 to Holly Pond in a game that saw Weaver get outrebounded 46-17.
But point guard Michael Stephens hit 5 of 10 shots in that game, including a 3-for-4 showing beyond the 3-point line, and scored 13 points. Paul Hubbard added 10 to complement English's 27-point showing.
The time with English out was especially good for Stephens.
"One of the problems I had with Mike was he didn't shoot enough," Hamby said. "He's a really good shooter, handles the ball well and doesn't make a lot of mistakes, and a lot of times he tried to pass the ball too much. … In our final game, Mike shot the ball better than anybody."

Chicago has intruders all of the time breaking into houses, and I have never heard this tale before.
The only story that makes sense is OP realized he was screwed and had to come up with some story.
If you knew it was an intruder you probably wouldnt shoot, but not knowing what the intruder has in his hand or what he is preparing to do , a prosecutor might not seek a murder conviction on you if you did shoot the invader through a door. The point I was making was that this case is completely the opposite. There was no invader, and he shot the one person that he had a duty to protect. He is a bald-faced liar.
Yes, Chicago has some of the worst gun violence in the US but the reason you have never heard such a story there is because it has never happened in Chicago and it didnt happen in SA either.

Steam Cleaning Mops
Looking for a good steam mop?
I'm looking into steam mop, I consider the Shark Steam Pocket, Bissell Steam Mop and Steam Cleaning HAAN Floor Sanitizer, which would you recommend or prefer? If you have tried all or, if Please let me know how they occur, advantages, disadvantages, everything that could be useful in making my decision, they are roughly in same price range. (89.99 Bissell, Haan 99.99, 119.99 and shark)
I would go with the Bissell. I started with the shark and it was thus too many problems and was scrapped. The Bissell is cheaper and parts are cheaper to repair. I have not had a single problem with mine. But if you want the opinion of others, try these http://www.nextag.com/shark-steam-pocket-mop/stores-html-http://www.5z5.com/Feeds/?455fdcce01e6ed98 http: / / steammopreviews .blogspot.com/2009/09/haan-fs20-plus-800-watt-steam-cleaning.html Hope this help!

Whisper's Edge
A Cricket Creek Novel
LuAnn McLane - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Cricket Creek, Kentucky, is a sweet river town known for its theater, shopping, and cuisine. But tough times are affecting the residents of the local retirement community—until a handsome hero shows up…
Savannah Perry loves her job as social director of Whisper's Edge, a retirement community on the picturesque waterfront of Cricket Creek. Raised in foster care, twenty-nine-year-old Savannah feels treasured and loved by the retired residents, who treat her as their adopted granddaughter and rotate having her over for dinner. But the community is struggling to stay afloat financially—until Tristan McMillan swoops into town, rescues a dog, and, well, saves the day…
Business-minded Tristan bought Whisper's Edge from his estranged grandfather to prove his worth to the curmudgeon and to turn a quick profit. He never expected to fall for the charms of a village of crafty retirees—or to fall hard for a small town girl like Savannah. Suddenly the man who knows all about making money finds himself needing lessons in love and what really matters in life…
"Willie! no! don't jump!" the loud, desperate plea frightened social director Savannah Perry into sprinting toward the pool at Whisper's Edge. Willie's dangerous plunge attempts had been happening all too often. "Oh baby, please don't! It isn't worth it!" Although the tearful wail had Savannah picking up her already swift pace she did manage to notice a sleek sports car parked in front of the main office. The sun glinting off the silver hood piqued Savannah's curious nature but a splash followed by another wail of distress kept her placing one flowered flip flop in front of the other. The thongs adorned with daisies were the result of last Wednesday's craft workshop but were not very good for running shoes. "Doggone it!" Savannah nearly tripped as she hopped over the curb but she refused to slow down. Willie was not a strong swimmer. Breathing hard, Savannah pushed open the gate that should have been latched and looked past umbrella tables and lounge chairs. "On no!" She spotted eighty year old Patty Parsons teetering precariously close to the edge of the water at the deep end of the pool. "Please back up," Savannah warned, but hard of hearing Miss Patty was further hampered by the pink bathing cap covering her ears.
"I'll rescue Willie!" Savannah tried again, but Miss Patty's attention remained focused on her sinking dog.
"Oh, Willie, swim harder!" Miss Patty wrung her hands together as she watched her beloved basset hound trying to capture a yellow tennis ball that bobbed just past his nose. Willie's ears fanned out over the surface of the water and, although he doggypaddled at a furious pace, his short legs and rotund body were no match for gravity. He sunk a little lower.
"Baby, forget about the danged ball! I'll buy you a dozen!" Miss Patty wailed but Willie was on a mission and paid his master no heed. Then, to Savannah's horror, the spry little lady pointed her hands over her capped head and bent her body toward the glistening water. "I'm coming for ya!" she promised, but although Miss Patty was in great shape for her advanced age, Savannah knew from experience that without her flotation noodle she'd sink like a stone.
Savannah was about to have quite a situation on her hands. She cupped her fingers at the corners of her mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs, "For the love of God, don't dive in, Miss Patty! I'll save Willie!"
God must have been listening because Miss Patty suddenly straightened up and looked at Savannah across the width of the pool. With wide eyes she put a hand to her chest. "Oh, praise the lord! Child, pul-ease save my Willie!"
Savannah kicked off her flip flops, losing a hot glued daisy in the process. "I will," she promised and, while holding her nose, she jumped fully dressed into the pool. Although she'd cranked up the heat for afternoon water aerobics, the sudden plunge still felt shockingly cold. Ignoring the discomfort, Savannah bobbed to the surface. She lunged for Willie and managed to wrap her arm around his midsection.
"You got him," Miss Patty shouted, but her glee was short lived. Although Savannah kicked with all her might, she and her canine buddy sank beneath the water. Willie, apparently sensing doggy death by drowning, wiggled away. With a gurgled protest, Savannah followed in swift pursuit but Willie swam like a manatee while under water. He didn't, however, manage to paddle his way back up to the surface and started sinking closer to the bottom.
Although her lungs protested, Savannah knew her only hope was to get beneath Willie and push him upward. She lunged forward and gave his furry rump a huge heave ho, repeating the action while using her legs as a springboard off the bottom. The old, Olympic sized pool was deep and Savannah was short so by the time she and Willie reached the side of the pool Savannah was struggling. Her lungs burned but she somehow managed to give Willie one last hard shove closer to where Miss Patty was bent over paddling the water as if that would somehow help.
The effort sent Savannah sinking backward but she pushed off the bottom and stroked as quickly as her tired arms would allow. Savannah broke surface and took a huge gasp of much needed air. Wet hair obscuring her vision, she dipped under the water to slick the long dark red tresses back from her forehead. Just as she raised her head above water another splash had her cringing. Not again! Savannah was flailing around in a circle trying to get a bead on where Willie landed when, to her surprise, a strong arm snaked around her waist and pulled her against a hard body.
"Don't worry. I've got you," the owner of the hard body said next to her ear. Savannah tried to twist to see his face but his firm grip prevented her from budging. "Stay calm and put your arms around my neck. I'll get you over to the edge."
Savannah obeyed but then felt silly. The words I'm not drowning formed in her head but the exertion, coupled with the lack of oxygen, scrambled Savannah's brain. She attempted to talk once more but unfortunately only a breathy drowning got past her lips.
"Don't worry. I won't let you," her knight in soggy clothing promised in a whiskey smooth voice laced with a touch of the South. Savannah loved accents because they represented a sense of home, and roots, something she'd never had until landing the job at Whisper's Edge. "Hang on and you'll be just fine."
"Okay," Savannah managed. She tightened her hold, forgetting that she didn't really need assistance.
"We're almost there." His warm breath near her ear sent a delicious tingle down her spine, and when he tilted his head back Savannah was able to see his tanned face. "Don't worry." He gave Savannah a reassuring smile that was utterly gorgeous. In that brief moment when their eyes met, Savannah felt an unexpected flash of longing she couldn't quite explain. He must have felt something similar because his gaze dropped to her mouth and lingered. Time felt suspended and unfolded like one of those slow motion movie moments that needed Maroon 5 music in the background. Savannah tilted her face slightly closer but before she could do something incredibly insane like lean in and kiss a perfect stranger, he turned his head and started swimming toward the ladder. "Thank God . . ." Damn . . . didn't mean to utter that out loud.
"Almost there," he assured her in a soothing tone of voice.
Savannah could see the hot pink silk zinnias adorning the top of Miss Patty's flip flops. Several of the ladies had squabbled over favorite flowers during craft time, and Savannah had had to make them draw straws.
"Here you go." With firm hands circling her waist he gently guided Savannah to the rungs of the ladder. She could feel the heat of his body pressing against her back and the urge to lean against him was almost too strong to resist. Luckily, Willie's deep bark startled some sense back into Savannah's befuddled brain. With a quick intake of breath she gripped the metal handrails and hoisted herself up while hoping that her wet sweatpants clinging to her body didn't make her butt look big. Belatedly, Savannah realized she wore a swimsuit beneath her clothing and wished she had taken the time to shed it before rescuing Willie. Too late now ...
Trying not to think about her butt, Savannah sloshed her way up the ladder but when she tried to stand, her shaky legs gave her trouble. To her acute embarrassment she stumbled sideways like a drunken sailor.
"Whoa there." Her handsome hero placed a steadying arm about her waist. "Are you okay?"
"Yes." Her voice, which had a low timbre to begin with, came out sounding like a croak. Could this possibly get any worse? It wasn't until she pushed her wet hair from her eyes that Savannah realized that they had quickly drawn a small crowd of elderly lady onlookers, most of whom were dressed in swimsuits and clutching colorful foam noodles for water aerobics.
Apparently, her day could indeed get worse.
"She's fine," her lifeguard assured them, earning a collective sigh of relief, but then turned to her. "Aren't you?"
Savannah, who didn't trust her voice, opted for a smile at him and a wimpy little wave at the class. After an awkward moment of silence Savannah searched for what to say. Thanks, but I wasn't really drowning. Sorry that you're sopping wet. Who are you, anyway? None of those thoughts seemed appropriate for the current situation so she was going to go with a simple thank you when Willie sat back on his haunches and barked.
"Just hush. You've caused enough trouble now, don't ya know?" Miss Patty wagged a finger and Willie had the decency to hang his head.
Savannah wanted to be angry with Willie but his sad basset hound face melted her heart every time his rump landed in trouble. When his big brown eyes rounded upward and gazed sorrowfully at Savannah she barely refrained from reaching out and patting his head.
"Thank you both so much," Miss Patty tearfully told them. She started clapping and then glanced back at the water aerobic class who stood behind her in a neat row. Most of them had color coordinated their bathing caps, foam noodles, and flowered flip flops. "Ladies?" At Miss Patty's nod they joined her applause by clapping their hands against their noodles, causing a low thumping sound that Savannah found funny. She snuck a sideways glance at her hero but her smile faded when she noticed that he wore a watch and most likely had a wallet and cell phone in the pocket of his khaki pants. A dark blue polo shirt molded to a very nice chest and clung to wide shoulders and impressive biceps. The only thing he managed to shed before his plunge was expensive looking leather loafers lying on their sides near the grass. Savannah swallowed hard. Oh boy . . .
"It was no big deal," he said smoothly. When he glanced at Savannah she looked down at her toes. She wondered if his demeanor would change if he knew that his heroic efforts weren't actually needed and then decided that there was no real reason to clue him in on that particular detail. "I'm just glad that I was here to help."
Before she could come up with a reply, all the bathing capped heads turned in the direction of Clyde and Clovis Camden entering the area. The seventy eight year old identical twin brothers who resembled George Hamilton in both looks and demeanor were the resident hotties. The brothers were blessed with full heads of salt and pepper hair, a rare sight at Whisper's Edge, and their arrival sent an audible feminine flutter through the row of bathing beauties.
The dapper duo had donned old school white tennis shorts and matching polo shirts. Orange headbands and wristbands added a shot of color, and gold rope chain necklaces glinted against tanned skin. Savannah wondered if dressing the same ever got old but they seemed to enjoy fooling people with typical twin gags. Miss Patty, however, didn't seem at all happy to see them. She pointed to a yellow tennis ball that Clovis clutched in his hand. The only way Savannah knew it was Clovis was that he had a slightly crooked nose that must have once been broken. Miss Patty narrowed her eyes."Once again, y'all almost caused the demise of my dear Willie."
"Now, Miss Patty, we can't help that the tennis courts are next to the pool," Clyde countered smoothly. "My wicked backhand sometimes sends balls sailing over the fence." He flexed a muscle, causing more swooning.
Miss Patty pursed her lips and then raised her chin. "I fully understand the close proximity to the pool, but it's the fact that after you sashay over here to retrieve your balls you fail to close the gate after your departure, putting my dear Willie in danger! To him an open gate is an open invitation. Willie simply cannot resist jumping into the pool when an enticing tennis ball comes sailing over the fence! It happened yet again!"
Clovis arched one eyebrow. "Perhaps you should have Willie on a leash. I do believe it's in the rules."
"He has a point, Patty," Joy Potter piped up and was rewarded with a slight smile from Clovis. Joy returned the gesture with a coy eye flutter.
Miss Patty silenced Joy with an I can't believe you're siding with them glare and then turned her attention back to the twins. "A leash chokes Willie. Per my request he has been exempted from the resident leash law." She looked at Savannah, who quickly nodded her agreement. Although Willie's non-leash exemption slid through the Whisper's Edge council by a narrow margin, a free Willie was indeed legal. "Under normal circumstances Willie remains obediently by my side."
"Then, may I suggest taking a different route?" Clyde asked.
"You may not!" Miss Patty clearly did not like Clyde's suggestion. She narrowed her eyes. "Closing and latching the gate would solve the problem. It's clearly stated in the pool rules." Miss Patty pointed to the sign posted on the far wall and then looked to her lady friends for support but they all dipped their colorful capped heads downward as if in a synchronized swim move. At Miss Patty's audible intake of breath most of the ladies remained staring at the flowers on their flip flips, clearly not willing to rant against the Camden brothers. "Well, I'll be . . ."
If Savannah hadn't been in her soggy state of embarrassment with the handsome stranger dripping at her side she would have jumped in with some sort of compromise.
At the continued silence Miss Patty finally sighed, and then rolled her eyes. "And if that's not bad enough Savannah had to rescue Willie again. Not to mention that her water aerobics class is going to start late, running into lunch!" She waved her hand in an arc in front of the twins. "See what your negligence has caused?"
Savannah felt her silent hero nudge her arm. "You can swim?"
Oh no ...busted.
After a sideways glance at his incredulous expression Savannah gave him a slight nod followed by a tiny smile.
His brown eyes widened further. "Wait. So I jumped into the pool fully clothed for nothing?"
"It was a nice gesture," Savannah said softly but felt heat creep up her neck. "Truly . . ."
"A nice gesture? I thought I was saving your life," he muttered darkly.
Savannah looked up at his face, which remained arrestingly handsome despite his stormy expression. "I'm sorry," she added lamely, but when his expression failed to change, she quickly added, "Although . . . your heroic rescue will make for a funny story, right?" Savannah looked over at the line of ladies for colorful head bobs but they clutched their noodles and blinked back as if not quite sure what the protocol was for this kind of situation. At least the bickering between the Camden brothers and Miss Patty had died down, so that was something. "Sure to get a laugh, don't you think?" She raised her eyebrows with hope.
"Not especially," her reluctant hero answered in a clipped tone that put Savannah's teeth on edge. Okay, so he was wet. It wasn't the end of the world.
"Hey, I didn't ask you to jump into the pool," Savannah said a bit tightly.
"That's the thanks I get for attempting to save your life?"
"Thank you," she primly replied.
"For nothing."
"Look." Savannah put her hands on her hips. "I'm sorry I didn't need to be saved. So sue me!"
His lips twitched at her comment. "You could have mentioned that little detail."
"I tried." Savannah remembered her instant attraction and felt the heat go from her neck to her cheeks. "I was out of breath from saving Willie. Besides, you had already jumped in so it really wouldn't have mattered, now would it?" Savannah prided herself on being pretty levelheaded but he was getting under her skin in more ways than one. "Look, I'm very sorry that you got wet but are you made of sugar?"
He shook his head. "Ah . . . no."
"Then you're not going to melt."
"Well, true, but I have an important meeting to attend in a little over an hour." He raked his fingers through his dark, wet hair and grimaced. "And I'm not exactly presentable."
"Oh, look, I truly am sorry for the confusion." Savannah felt her anger evaporate but then frowned when she recalled the sleek sports car parked in front of the office. Her heart suddenly started to thud. "Excuse me, but may I ask . . . who are you?"
A dark eyebrow shot up. "Tristan McMillan."
Oh no... "related to Maxwell McMillan?" Although she had never met the man, it was the name signed on her paychecks. rumor had it that Whisper's Edge was struggling and without a buyer would be sold on the courthouse steps. Her heart pounded. Was he here to deliver bad news?
"As most of you know, my grandfather has retired to Florida for . . . uh, health reasons. I've purchased the property from him."
Savannah's eyes widened and she heard a ripple of excitement go through the crowd. Bathing capped heads bobbed like floating balloons and the Camden brothers stopped bouncing tennis balls. Even Willie seemed to sit up and take notice. The fact that Whisper's Edge was for sale wasn't a secret. But although no one really talked about it, the residents lived in silent fear that the retirement community might close down if a buyer wasn't found.
Miss Patty's face broke into a wide smile. "Well then, young Mr. McMillan, it appears as if you truly are a hero!" When she started applauding, everyone joined in, including Savannah. But when Savannah looked up at Tristan she noticed that, although he smiled back, something flickered in his brown eyes that gave her pause. A cold shot of fear slithered down her spine but when she saw the radiant faces of the senior ladies whom she dearly loved, Savannah decided she was being overly cautious. Whisper's Edge had a buyer! Her prayers had been answered and it was time to celebrate! Savannah turned to her new boss and smiled. "Congratulations, Mr. McMillan. Whisper's Edge is a wonderful community. I haven't had the, um, pleasure of meeting him but I'm sure your grandfather is proud and happy that you're keeping Whisper's Edge in the family."
"I was more than happy to do it," Tristan answered but there was a wry tone to his voice that Savannah didn't miss. She'd also heard stories about Max McMillan, and not all of them were good. "While I grew up in the northern part of Kentucky near Cincinnati, I spent some time here as a kid."
"Well, we're grateful," Miss Patty said. "No disrespect, but your grandpappy has been an absentee owner for quite some time now. His signature is about all we ever see of him."
"I intend to make some major improvements. In fact—"
"Hear, hear!" shouted Clovis, raising his tennis racket skyward. Clyde joined him and was quickly followed by the women raising their noodles. Somebody started singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and the crowd joined in, ending with more applause.
Savannah noticed that Tristan seemed a bit flustered by the cheers. He shifted his weight from one wet socked foot to the other and said, "Please, applause isn't necessary."
"On the contrary," Miss Patty announced and got nods of approval. "We've been worried that we'd soon be out of house and home. This is really grand news! We can't thank you enough, Mr. McMillan."
"No, really . . ." Tristan raised his hands while giving them a shake of his head.
Savannah thought his humbleness was rather sweet, and silently acknowledged that she had misjudged him. "Mr. McMillan, allow me to formerly introduce myself." She extended her hand and beamed at him. "I'm Savannah Perry, social director and Girl Friday to Kate Winston, whom I'm sure you've already met. I do my best to schedule fun events and help keep daily operations running smoothly." She squeezed his hand. "I'd like to give you a warm . . . instead of wet, welcome!"

- Tue, Feb 19, 2013, 5:17 PMHi,
how is this different from mod_choice ? Does this pick up from mod_choice or does this reimplement polls?
I'm not sure i understand the different between this and http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Choice_module
- Wed, Feb 20, 2013, 6:54 AMIt's a block that was made back in 2007.
It doesn't use choice code, the block is designed to be addable anywhere in moodle, including mymoodle, something mod_choice can't do.
- Fri, Mar 1, 2013, 1:19 PMThanks Adam. In reviewing the block there were a number of small things but one is that since the code is listed as being for Moodle 2.4 there is an error about the addinstance method not being specified and this causes some errors that may keep folks from using the block. In addition, please provide the source code, tracker, and documentation URLS and in the documentation specify how poll is different from choice (advantages and disadvantages). Finally make sure that the zip file passes the validation check. If you have questions just let me know. Peace - Anthony
- Mon, Mar 3, 2014, 8:24 AMHi Adam,
I like this block a lot.
I just wrote a Documentation page for this plugin at http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Poll_block
Please feel free to add or correct as needed.

Californians have the strongest patient's rights laws in the nation. The Help Center at the Department of Managed Health Care is here to explain your health care rights and help you understand how to use your health care benefits. We make sure that health plans follow the law and address member complaints on time.
Not all health plans are the same. The benefits, costs, and quality of care differ from plan to plan. Also, one health insurance company can offer different plans with different benefits and costs. For example, one plan may have a higher deductible (the amount you pay before the health plan starts to pay) than another plan.
All health plans that the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) oversees must cover basic benefits. These include check-ups, routine tests, specialist care, and hospital and emergency care. You can see a list of these basic benefits. Other benefits, like prescription drugs and durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs) may be covered by some plans and not by others. Your benefit package is all the benefits, or services, your health plan covers.
Costs differ from plan to plan. When you compare costs, look at the benefits as well as the costs. The plan that seems to cost less can really cost you more if it does not cover the services that you need.
The quality of care differs from plan to plan. The HMO Report Card can help you compare the quality of care for HMOs and medical groups in California.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the AudioQuest G2 Speaker Cable by Kristen Schaub Low-grade speaker wire can often be a weak link in a home theater system. Upgrade to AudioQuest's G2 speaker cable and make sure that your speakers are getting the cleanest, most accurate signal possible. AudioQuest's cable designs come from years of in-house research and careful engineering. Their G2 speaker cables use a special concentric arrangement that keeps the bundled strands in the same position throughout the length of the cable. The signal encounters less potentially damaging interactions and shifts in magnetic environment, resulting in sound that's clearer and more dynamic. Conductors made of long-grain copper ensure efficient signal transfer with minimal loss.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: This package contains a 50-foot length of Audioquest G2 speaker cable. This 16-gauge wire comes in a dark gray PVC jacket. The speaker wire is unterminated, allowing you to add your own optional connectors. The jacket features a stripe along one conductor to help you make the proper connections. Design: Audioquest G2 speaker cable features Semi-Solid concentric packing. In conventional multi-strand speaker wire, strands can change position within the bundle. Electrical and magnetic interaction are compounded as each strand changes position, causing distortion. Audioquest's Semi-Solid concentric packing, the long-grain copper strands within the smaller, tighter concentric bundle do not change position, significantly reducing distortion.

These speaker cables were perfect for my job, couldn't have been better. Pros: thickness and ease of working with. Cons: none. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 AuduiQuest G2 Speaker Cable Written By RS, New Jersey on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Now that I have used this cable, will not go back to the Monster Brand. I used the cable to feed my two newly installed rear in ceiling speakers. It is a better made cable with the thicker cooper strands, that makes a dramatic difference in the sound quality. Will be uprading all my spaeker cables to the audio quest brand.

Pros: High Quality Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speaker cable Written By Carlos, New Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an affordable speaker cable but don't be misguided by its low price, it is quality cable. I used to use cheap speaker cable in most of my speaker connections. Once I bought the original monster cable but did not hear much of a sound improvement. I purchased this cable together with the monster flex pin gold plated connectors and the sound improvement is amazing. I can now hear sounds in my music I've never heard before. I strongly recommend this cables as an upgrade to any one who has regular speaker cables. You will not regret it. Pros: Affordable, quality speaker cable, improves sound quality of your system. Cons: None. Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Impressed after conducting A|B testing Written By Matt, Burlington, VT on Saturday, September 28, 2013 I've just put together my first "higher-end" home system after dabbling in car audio for over a decade. I had a Marantz 1060 fully restored and built a pair of monitor sized speakers on stands. I like to do a lot of research on whatever I buy, and read that "high quality cables" make a difference. So I picked up some AudioQuest "evergreen" series for signal from my TV to amp and 3.5mm headphone jack to amp. After more research, I found what I've been calling "RCA's" are really referred to as "interconnects" and that "cables" are actually speaker wire. I had purchased "Home Wired" 12 gauge speaker wire "cables" to connect my amp to my speakers. Thinking 12 gauge was super thick, and each run was only 8ft. After more research, I found 2 camps on the internet- one saying speaker wire is speaker wire, it's just copper, so get thick stuff and you'll be fine. Another camp said cables made a "massive difference." I decided to give the lower end G2 cables a try, thinking that it would be a great (low cost experiment) for $40. Long story short, the G2 did indeed make a "massive" difference. I even did A/B testing with the old wire, skeptical of improvement. It's best described as; these cables make it sound like there was a stack of pillows in front of your speakers before. Did everything sound great before? Yes. But I would say the sound is far less "muffled" and much more "detailed." Measurable differences include: I had to re adjust my treble settings down 40% from before. Pros: -16 gauge G2 sounds MUCH better than 12 gauge generic speaker wire - Highs are more detailed - Mids are more separated - Bass is cleaner - I can only imagine what the "type 4's" sound like - $40 isn't really much more than generic wire, I'd say it's cheap Cons: -None 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Once I straightened out the cable it was easy to fit in with my speaker locations. The darker color blended with the room. The sound was an upgrade from the older Monster cable. I plan to use it again in another room. Pros: dark gray color, vg sound Cons: none, other than having to remove the curls from the spool, all of 15 min for 50'. Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 good product, but dfisappointing feature Written By Dominic I, Lake worth, Florida on Thursday, July 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I specifically purchased this item because I was interested in the polarity feature which is displayed in advertising this cable. All the advertising clearly shows one of the cables marked in red so that polarity can be clearly identified. However, the cable I received had no such marking, therefore I was greatly disappointed. The cable is adequate and seems strong. I can't understand how the pictured illustration shows the marked polarity on the cable, yet mine had none. Pros: Cable is strong and firm. Cons: Polarity is not clearly marked on cable 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I am very pleased with this cable and it is quality shows even before it's connected. I am using it to connect my Cambridge Audio Azur 650R receiver to my 651BD blueray and I will say that the sound is great. Pros: A high quality speaker cable. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good cables Written By Steve, Maryland on Wednesday, October 07, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I moved a while back, and left behind my good-quality speaker wire which was built in to the wall. I then bought speaker wire from well-known electronic chain. However, recently my speakers had been sounding very poorly, and I was thinking of replacing them (I thought they might have been damaged in the move), but I decided to try new wire first. When I removed the old cable, I noticed corrosion and that the small wires inside had started falling apart. When I stripped the insulation off the Audioquest wire, I immediately noticed a difference, even from when the chain-store wires were new. The Audioquest cable, like the other cables, are composed of a bundle of smaller wires inside a thick insulation. The internal wires in the Audioquest cable are organized and lie together so that it is easy to attach them to the contact. The chain-store wires were always kind of a mess. Also, the overall quality of the materials in the Audioquest cable looks and feels much higher. And the best part--my system--an Onkyo amp and pre-amp, and high-end speakers-- sounds great again! 48 out of 51 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Project: Ashen Mix
Status: Home demo
Been chipping away at this one for weeks. Now that I've got all the pieces, I'll be re-recording most everything and developing a final mix.
However I thought it was good enough and exciting enough in this state to share now:
Expect to hear this one again.
