Good call quality. Sharp display. Nice camera. Terrific plan value.
Limited video codec support.
Bottom Line
The Huawei Mercury is the best prepaid smartphone in America right now.
Talk about a pleasant surprise. The best prepaid smartphone in the U.S. comes from Huawei and Cricket, a manufacturer and a carrier that haven't been bywords for quality in the past. But it's true: the $249.99 Huawei Mercury, paired with Cricket's terrific $55 contract-free monthly plan, beats other cell phones on Cricket, MetroPCS, Virgin, and Boost.

A gigantic Chinese manufacturer, Huawei has been slowly improving with time. It's turned out a middling smartphone, the Impulse 4G for AT&T ($29.99, 3 stars), and a decent tablet, the Springboard 4G for T-Mobile ($249.99, 3.5 stars). The Mercury is a quantum leap for the company: a good looking Android smartphone, with great call quality, a sharp display, and a solid camera. It's an easy pick for our Editors' Choice.
Design, Call Quality, and Pricing
The Huawei Mercury is the sharpest looking phone we've seen from Huawei to date. It measures 4.8 by 2.4 by .4 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.9 ounces. Though light and comfortable to hold, it feels like a substantial, quality device. Made entirely of shiny black plastic with a glass front panel, the Mercury has an appealing, minimalist-chic flair. That back panel is a bit smudge-prone, but it wipes clean whenever you put the phone in your pocket.
The Mercury's 4-inch glass capacitive touch LCD screen has 854-by-480-pixel resolution, a notch above the more common 800-by-480. It looks sharp and bright, and I had no problem typing on the on-screen keyboard. Since this resolution is also used by Motorola's super-popular Droid line, it didn't seem to affect app compatibility. Four haptic feedback-enabled touch keys sit below the display.
The Mercury is a tri-band EV-DO Rev. A (850/1900/AWS) device, with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Outside Cricket's native coverage area (about a third of the U.S. population), it runs on Sprint's nationwide network. The phone connected to my WPA2-encrypted Wi-Fi network quickly and easily.
Reception on Sprint's network was average, and voice quality was very good overall. Voices sound clear, full, and natural in the phone's earpiece. On the other end, calls sound clear and easy to understand, with good noise cancellation. My only complaint is that voices can sound a touch muffled. Calls were clear through an Aliph Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4.5 stars), and voice dialing worked well without training. The speakerphone also sounds good, but it's far too low to hear outdoors. Battery life was excellent at 8 hours, 16 minutes of talk time. There's no Wi-Fi hotspot mode, but that isn't to be expected with this cheap a service plan.
Cricket offers smartphone plans with unlimited talk, text, and 1GB of data for $55/month, at least $5/month less than all the major carriers. Boost and Virgin both match that price, and Boost's 'shrinkage' option can actually reduce your cost to $40/month as you pay your bills on time. MetroPCS has a $50/month plan with roughly the same terms as well. The Mercury is a better phone than all those carriers currently have, though.
OS, Performance, and Apps
The Huawei Mercury runs Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). There's no word yet on an update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Huawei has modified the UI, which will annoy lovers of stock Android, but I found most of the changes to be pleasant. In general, things look brighter and friendlier than stock Android; think back to TouchWiz 3.0 on the original Samsung Galaxy S and you'll get the idea.
There's some non-deletable bloatware from Cricket, but less than you'll find on many other Android phones, which is nice. The phone syncs email, calendars, and contacts for Gmail and Microsoft Exchange accounts, and works with many other popular email accounts. The Android Market offers access to over 250,000 third-party apps, nearly all of which should work fine on this device. There's also an FM radio, which worked well.

When my hubby mentioned Dame Nellie Melba, and then showed her who it was, her decision was made, so 1 Dame Nellie Melba costume was required and quickly (we only had a few days notice!).
Thanks to a very costume-making-savvy sister, and some sewing skills, we came up with this, which flowed over a floor length white satin skirt...so pretty...
The bustle was my favourite bit!
Lana was one happy (and glamourous!) chick.

We had the pre-leaks before the launch of the iPhone5! Surely, they created a furor amongst the masses on the vividly based criticisms and the other Apple fans plausibly going gaga over the device. The actual showcased model was revealed previously itself through various snippets and descriptions demonstrated from various sources. As we go through the ongoing analysis, presented are certain views, scrutinizing stories that are encountered when the new generation iPhone is gazed at. Presented with handful features at a hefty price, it's a phone worthy of the price only if an individual jailbreaks the device. Oh wait! What is Jailbreak? What's the hubbub about?
With the Apple rules lot limiting, these specific rules keep control of the iPhone platform in Apple's control, to unlock over this characteristic & risk free JailBreaking is just what the doctor ordered!
The JailBreaking phenomenon adds features that free your phone from Apple's constraint! As, by the common sense the definition presents its impact:
Jail break: an escape from jail; "the breakout was carefully planned". Thus, this term demonstrates at freeing our phone from the limitations as imposed by Apple.
Furthermore, jail breaking is lot beneficial in modifying & providing customization on the phone. It is a software process which is responsible in unlocking, deciphering and modifying the iPhone's original system. The godsend opportunity is that along with the customization, there are a plethora of apps available in the unofficial App store which allows numerous benefits that can completely enhance the ability of the phone. The device can be turned into a wireless hot spot by using the app that allows sharing the iPhone or iPad data connection wirelessly with other devices. At the same time, let's have a look at the video below:
This modifying unravels the following developments which act for the good:
- Customization looks
JailBreaking opens the door for various accomplishments ahead. If a device is not unlocked, the home screen or the spring board that is present cannot be altered with or cannot be changed. At the maximum change that can be enforced would be to change the wallpaper. The unlocking of the device can do the trick & make a killing by making the device aided with customization replenished with features & self-aided controls to add widgets, manage change icons & add an animated background.
We also get the added support and the sustenance of a 5 icon dock. A small tweak, but justifiably fantastic indeed. More the programs on home screen, better access?
- Same carrier if the iPhone is not JailBroken & the resourcefulness to use Cydia!
After Jailbreaking, the iPhone can be presented with the proficiency that any individual is allowed to operate with other carriers like T-Mobile. The endowment of using a tool called Ultrasn0w solves the purpose.
As some apps are discarded by Apple as they break their rules or various reasons, the particular apps can become unfastened to use on your device after going to a app store on jailbroken devices. This collection of cool apps, features defines Cydia. It's a third-party digital distribution platform notably called as the black market or App store. It is a superlative option for installing third party applications through Cydia and the Installer.
- SB Settings
The advantage that SB settings bestow the users is various alterations to the WiFi, Bluetooth and brightness settings. These specific arrangements display their presence in the notification pull down which exemplify the convenience levels while turning on Bluetooth or changing brightness levels as cited by examples.
With a presentable app called BTstack keyboard for jail broken device users which functionality adheres to using Bluetooth for text entry into the phone. Thus, ideal for taking down notes.
- Multi tasking & gaining full control of the iPhone
The advantageous credit-ability that is provided for jailbroken users is the opportunity to install Unix applications. This phenomenon can be run active because the inner part of iPhone is actually a Unix core, and hence the BSD unix subsystem and SSH can be most fruitfully inculcated into the device. This transforms the phone into a mini-computer itself with the granting of SSH being granting connections for iPhone to remotely connect and transfer any file to/from it. Also applications like Apache Web Server can be now run on the system. Using Cycorder or iPhone Video Recorder, even Video Recording can be re-coursed culminating it for a greater use of iPhone camera into video camera for video recording.
The optimum and the incomparable addition will be of the Backgrounder app which addresses the functionality of multitasking. The common trigger that is used is the Status Bar Hold.
The methodology with which Backgrounder works is it enables us control of all apps which run in the background, how they would use it, and if they will background at all. Certain preferences can be altered whether one wants the app to be fully running using back grounding method, or force close to hit home.
- Facetime over 3G/4G
Another fascinating benefit is to Facetime from anywhere if we have a 3G connection. There are certain apps that fake the device into thinking connected with WiFi. This is superficially important with respect to the fact that Apple only limits FaceTime video calls to iPhone, over the connections to WiFi network only.
The finest transcendent option that magnifies jail-breaking a necessity is that this particular process is a reversible act. Furthermore, easiest thing is connecting device to iTunes placing in DFU mode and then pressing "restore". The device will exhibit pre-requisite features (stock iOS), functionality as it was before jail-breaking. The advantage of this feature aids in the fact that Apple won't even know if the device was previously jail broken. This simple process should be done before a device is taken to a Apple store for warranty repair purposes.

Sen. Bernie Sanders claims that an ongoing FBI probe of his wife is based on partisan politics dont square with the fact that it began under President Obama and appears to closely track Democratic opponent research revealed in the hacked emails of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney in Vermont are investigating Jane OMeara Sanders for her persona in a failed 2010, $10 million college district batch that she orchestrated during her seven-year stint as president of Burlington College in Vermont.
According to a series of 2015 emails to and from Clintons campaign manager, John Podesta, disclosed to and published on Wikileaks, the Clinton team wrote an extended political opposition memoranda entitled Sanders Top Hits-Thematics. The memoranda items Mrs. Sanders role in the colleges financial los, and parallels the ongoing FBI investigation , now before a grandiose jury, into the scandal. Other email mail shown in the Clinton team speculated scandals encircling the college and Jane Sanders rendered an opportunity to knock the Vermont senators honour and chances to acquire the Democratic primary election.
I remember our first issue is how are we going to overcome Sanders. he's not who he says he is — gun elections, DSCC money, Jane. There is a possibility other options more but these thought would be the strongest assaults to consider. How we subvert Sanders candidacy is our threshold interrogation, a Clinton campaign official wrote in the twilight 2015.
Attaching to an email the smashes patch with potentially impairing about Mrs. Sanders, another official wrote: We have a encountering planned on Thursday to discuss next steps on Bernie Sanders we'd like for everyone to come having reviewed the material and ready to discuss which touches and topics we want to deploy.
The so called smacks section also included a text manager OMeara Sanders brokered a risky and potentially fraudulent acquisition that nearly bankrupted the college.
After several years as chairman of Burlington College, Jane OMeara Sanders resigned amid speculation that she conflicted with the board and[ didnt] bring in enough coin for the school. Commentators afterwards tied her to the schools fiscal disturbance after she brokered a spate to borrow $10 million to buy land for the college, Clintons team summed up in a political resist memoranda. Members of the lending agency were expressed over the colleges ability to repay the loan, and one were of the view that if OMeara Sanders was not involved, the lend would not have been approved.
The opposition research also highlighted innumerable media reports, summarizing related gossips, including the fact that Mrs. Sanders took a $200,000 golden parachute when she left the college and, before that, arranged a treat where Burlington College paid her daughters corporation, The Vermont Woodworking School, $55,000, as part of a craftsman decree.
The trigger for the ongoing investigation into Jane Sanders came in January 2016 when a lawyer representing a Roman Catholic parishioner in the Burlington diocese registered individual complaints with federal authorities about the territory spate. The legal disorder of the attorney, who was the Vermont state chairman for the Trump campaign, was also pointed out that the transaction led to a$ 2 million loss for the diocese.
According to lawyer Brady Toensings complaint, to fasten the $10 million, Jane Sanders procured a $6.5 million lend from the Peoples United Bank to buy tax-exempt attachments issued by a territory busines, and a $3.65 million second mortgage from the diocese. Sanders reportedly told college regents and bank lenders that the college had raised $2.4 million to repay the lend, but trustees became aware that many of the donors listed in Mrs. Sanders fabrics hadnt agreed to those amounts.
As a result of the debt and lower-than-projected student enrollment, Burlington College shut down in May 2016.
Since the complaint was filed in January 2016, people and entities involved with the college lend were asked to provide information for the ongoing federal splendid jury probe.
The public trauma in this case is substantial because the diocese offers a significant amount of help to the communitys good and indigent, Toensing said.
Sen. Sanders has alleged that Toensing was motivated to file the complaint because of his ties to Trump. But Toensing told Fox News that is simply incorrect. He didnt take over the role of Vermont state chairman for the Trump campaign until the summer of 2016, well after the federal magnificent jury investigation of Mrs. Sanders began.
This investigation was started under President Obama's Justice Department, Toensing added. The senator's claims are a common, but lame recreation for politicians faced with a grandiose jury investigation. He should focus on reacting the allegations, which are solidly based on analysis of realities from reports obtained through public evidences petitions and attest gathered by investigative reporters.
Ms. Sanders and her husband have constructed working careers pontificating against corporate corruption and claiming to want to help the needy. The Diocese, however, actually helps the disadvantaged through essential direct assistances, Toensing wrote. The loss of$ 2 million as a result of Ms. Sanders's obvious impropriety will materially detract from this charitable production and stimulate substantial harm to susceptible Vermonters.
Kraig LaPorte, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorneys office in Vermont, pronounced We are not offering any note in relation to this investigation at this time. A spokesman for the FBI likewise would not comment.

Sports Day: Homemade Hurdles for Kids
[divider] One of the local private schools was having a sports day / track day / Olympics for their students in the playground the other day. So while chasing my son and his friends around the playground, I snagged a picture for you of something I thought was really cool. Ta da! They are homemade

So, before the midseason break, I thought Sally had been taken down like a tranquilized zoo rhino. After you've asked the boss' henchman to help you cover up the fact you murdered your husband, most people might think the best option would be laying low. Shaking hands, kissing babies, maybe praying a lot, that sort of thing. I mean, there was no way Sally would do something to actively antagonize not only her boss but his Chief of Staff, right? The Chief of Staff that helped her cover up the murder, natch. That would be insane, right? Oh yeah, I forgot. This is "Scandal," the world that logical behavior forgot.
We come roaring back from the break with an obviously pregnant Kerry Washington and a big bolt of crazy to distract us from her newly voluminous but still excellent white coats. Sally has decided to run against Fitz — while holding on to her job. This is sort of like announcing you're going to picket McDonald's for serving that weirdly processed McRib meat slab every day while working the fry machine nights. Sally even gives a nice little speech about how morally repugnant she finds Fitz, so she's going to squash him like a bug — and stay at the White House to keep tabs on him. Maybe that means taking sneaky iPhone pictures of his feet or making faces at him as he walks past her office.
It takes some balls for Sally to get all uppity about Fitz screwing around when she killed her husband and helped drag his body down the hall, but Sally's never lacked for tunnel vision. Of course, by stirring up a hornet's nest of controversy, everyone's paying closer attention to the White House — and the mysterious source that's tattling to the press that Sally's husband never got an autopsy.
The mysterious source is James, because that totally makes sense. Yes, he stormed out of David Rosen's office the last time he was confronted with a recording of Sally and Cyrus conspiring, but I guess things have changed. Maybe he hasn't gotten enough sleep, or he's on some kind of low-carb diet, who knows, but now he's now decided that Cyrus is an evil monster and he's totally on David's side. I would have thought he might have come to this conclusion after Cyrus pimped him out to Daniel, but I guess James is a slow burn kind of guy.
But that's not all! David informs James that if anyone finds out who that mysterious source is, they're as good as dead. James gulps like he's a fluffy bunny in a Warner Brothers cartoon and realizes he may have wanted to think that through a bit. I really suspect he just wanted to use the supercool moniker Publius so everyone would know he knows what the Federalist Papers are. Sorry, Deep Throat would have been so much more fun, though the FCC might have balked at having that repeated many, many times in an episode. Still, more fun.
While Sally's storyline ate up much of the episode, that wasn't the whole episode. No, Fitz also picked his new running mate, Governor Andrew Nichols, who seems loyal to a fault except for possibly having had a thing with Mellie. You go, girl! Oh, and Eli told Olivia he's going to kill the President. That happened.
You know, some guys take up golf or travel the world or work as greeters at Walmart when they get pushed out of a job. No, Eli wants to kill Fitz to liven up his down time between collecting Social Security checks. What I love is that initially he yells at Olivia he's a CURATOR AT THE GODDAMN SMITHSONIAN, then lectures her three different ways about being Fitz's tramp and how he plans to kill the son of a bitch. Really, Eli, I think you need a nap.
Cute couple alert! Charlie and Quinn wobble up and down the halls of a hardware store, shopping for torture instruments like the most messed up but strangely adorable old married couple ever. Jake tells Charlie point blank that Quinn isn't allowed to join B613, so Charlie decides he just needs to get her involved with his jobs so Jake will be wowed by her ability to abduct small children. Can't wait to see what happens when she decides to give her new drill a test drive!
Speaking of Jake, he drops by Olivia's place (because he CAN) and she swirls wine at him and asks him if he's a patriot, because that mean he needs to date her. Mellie has wisely suggested that, in addition to lady lunches to throw the media off the Fitzlivia scent, she needs to get a boyfriend. Jake is always happy to do his duty, especially when that means making out with the hot chick who's sleeping with his best friend. Really, are there only four elligible men in D.C.?
Oh, and another little twist is that Harrison continues to fret and grump and complain about the mysterious and lethal Adnan, right up until it turns out she's a hot chick with whom he has desperate sex in his office when she drops by to see him. Hey, Harrison has a girlfriend! She might kill him, but Harrison has a girlfriend! Finally! Now, who can we set up with Huck? Teeth not required.
What did you think of Sally's big move? Do you think Mellie's the one that got away Andrew described to Olivia? What did you think of James' decision to take down Cyrus?

Let's Talk Networking
To be honest, networking is not really one of my strengths. This is something I continue to work on. I have made contact with some great publishers and am currently starting to participate in some blog tours which I am excited about.
As far as local networking goes, my blog enables me to share good books with the other school librarians in my district. I started out creating lists and emailing them out every couple of months, but I simply didn't have the time to keep doing it. I decided that a blog would allow me to share books one or two at a time, which took a lot less time from my work days. We meet once a month to talk about various issues of concern to the whole group and one of those meetings is devoted to talking about book recommendations. I do so love talking about books. These meetings are never long enough. :)
As far as the future goes, I'm hoping to share my blog with the local library association that involves all the local libraries, school, public, and university. I also hope to make contact with some local authors for future posts. I am more than open to additional ideas about how to share my work. Feel free to share any ideas you may have.

It's great that you get to share with other school librarians, i hope that you can get involved with the local association as wellReplyDelete
Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out
Networking is so hard. Notice that I didn't even clue in to Armchair BEA! I find it harder to connect with the other librarians in my district than with librarians in the blogosphere sometimes. One thing I have done is to give presentations at our Waiver Days (we have workshops for teachers instead of classes when buildings have election activity in them) on 100 Great New Books. Sometimes I give three presentations, attended by 40+ teachers from all over the district. That's always fun. Maybe you could do something similar if your district has continuing ed options. Bonus: you get an audience!ReplyDelete
Very cool that you are able to network with all of the local librarians! I hope you break through to the local association soon!ReplyDelete

Your local librarian association is an ideal place to start networking.ReplyDelete
Those ideas sound good to me! I haven't networked with my local library yet, but I need to. I don't really know how to start. Those meetings sound really fun :)ReplyDelete
Jessica @ Books: A true story
Networking is something that you'll have to work on, but at least you can take small steps. Thinking of innovative ways to get your issues out there is one of the best things to do. I've found that pairing with local organizations (virutally as well as in person) for discussion posts works well. I'm glad you joined ABEA because that's a great step! Tattooed BooksReplyDelete
I am pretty horrible about networking but like you said, baby steps :-)ReplyDelete
I've always wondered if libraries use book blogs very much. I'm not sure ours does, but it probably varies from district to district.ReplyDelete

Take a good look at your fingernails and you may notice subtle variations in the texture or color; white spots, a rosy tinge, rippling or bumps in the surface to mention a few. These imperfections may not look like much to you, but it's more important than you might think to maintain healthy fingernails. That's because to the trained eye, nails can provide valuable indications about your overall health.
Hold a hand level with your nose about a foot out from your face and scrutinize each one. Look at the grooves, curves, ridges and dips. Notice how thick or thin they are and if there are any stark differences. Are your nails are chipped or broken. Make a note of the color of the nail itself, the skin under it as well as the skin around the nail. You need to get into the habit of knowing your nails and any changes that can occur. Changes are a good indication of the onset of several health problems. Here are 8 of the most common nail issues:
1. RIDGES: Healthy nails should have no obvious ridge lines and should be virtually smooth to the naked eye. Ridges can indicate several health issues including:
- Inflammatory arthritis
- Iron deficiency
- Lupus (with red lines at the base of your nails)
2. THICK NAILS: It is fairly obvious is you have a thickening of the nails and they can have several causes including:
- Thick/separated nails can indicate thyroid disease or psoriasis
- Thick/rough-surfaced nails can be a sign of fungal infection
- Unusually thick nails could be a symptom of a circulation problem
- Thick nails alone could even signal lung disease
3. DISCOLORED NAILS: A healthy nail bed should be pink with a slight pinky white moon shape at the base. Streaks of any other stronger shades or colors can indicate health issues, as can nails that are tinged by other colors such as:
- Dark stripes towards the top of the nail are associated with aging and congestive heart failure
- Blueish tinge to the nails can be a sign of depleted oxygen levels in your blood
- Green nails are usually a sign of a bacterial infection
- White nails indicate liver disease, such as hepatitis
- Red streaks on the nail bed could be a warning of an infection of the heart valves
- Dull nails in general mean a deficiency of vitamins
4: PITTED NAILS: Sometimes small dips can just be the result of a bash to the hand in general, but sometimes more attention should be paid as they can be a symptom of:
- Zinc deficiency (usually the pit will form a line across the middle of the nailbed)
- Connective tissue disorder
- Psoriasis
- Alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune disorder that results in hair loss
5. DRY AND BRITTLE NAILS: Healthy nails should not require cuticle oil and moisturizers as they should maintain themselves. Excessively dry or brittle nails can be a sign of a hormonal balance problem or a bacterial infection.
- Thyroid disease can result in brittle, dry nails that also crack and split very easily
- Fungus can cause nails to become dry or even crumbly and is a common problem
6. CONCAVE OR SPOON SHAPED NAILS: What are known as 'full spoon' nails are very soft and curve upwards with the dip being pronounced enough to hold a drop or two of liquid. This usually is an indication of:
- Heart disease
- Iron deficiency (usually from anemia)
- Hypothyroidism
- Hemachromatosis, which is a liver disorder caused by the body absorbing too much iron
7. CLUBBED NAILS: This is when the skin around the nail bed can appear inflamed or unusually puffy. This can mean:
- Liver disease
- Lung disease, especially if you already have trouble breathing
- Inflammatory bowel disease
8. SPLIT NAILS: Often our nails split if we have injured them. But when no trauma has occured but the nail flakes away layer by layer it can be a result of several issues:
- Chronic malnutrition
- Deficiency of Vitamin C, folic acid or proteins
- Split nails together with a pitted nail bed can indicate psoriasis
Obviously our fingernails will not be the only signs of these diseases, but they can provide confirmation or else the motivation to seek further medical attention.
Strong, healthy nails reflect a strong, healthy you. Share with anyone you know may need to pay attention to their nails.

Destiny version 1
(Paranormal Destinations)
Hover your mouse:
As shown in the picture below, go to the game's opening episodes selection screen and STOP. Now start my Destiny and hover your mouse on the light blue
tab on the left side of your window, exactly as the pink arrow down here is showing. The auto should recognize it, beep at you, snap your mouse away and start playing
over and over. Google Chrome or Torch, people!
Super-fast challenges (most):
Just about all challenges can be finished much quicker by using my
Replay button
option properly in their "find the differences" bonus scene. Of course, this speedy tip discludes badges requiring you to finish entire episodes or finding skulls/bats, but should cover everything else. Step 1: With my
Replay button
option OFF and Speed at 70 or less (temporarily), complete the entire free California episode so you are able to choose your own scene afterward and have its three orange Play buttons available. Step 2: Manually choose Scene 2 and let the auto complete it, which starts their bonus differences round. Step 3: At this time only, pause the auto with the Control key on your keyboard, enable my
Replay button
option, crank my Speed all the way to 100 and watch the show. The auto will quickly cycle this bonus scene every 9 seconds with these results: 1 scene completed (bonus or regular) without using hints, 12 objects found, 2984 points scored! Zoomy.
Google Chrome only:
These newer Html5 games were specifically coded/tested with
Google Chrome
on multiple machines and all operating systems. If your auto is having trouble connecting with their game while hovering your mouse properly (or any issues afterward), please try every other web browser available in your arsenal. Recommended... in order:
, Internet Explorer, Windows 10's Edge,
Firefox ESR
(11.13.2019) Registration codes start with the CAPITAL letter A and the number nine (A9). Destiny is replacing the dead
auto (which previously replaced the dead
auto)... so if you purchased either of those autos in the past, you own this one! Your registration code (and password) is exactly the same. If you are
not sure
, just ask me. I have an immaculate transaction history looker-upper that takes me just two seconds. Destiny is very similar to my Vanishy, Grubby, Postcardy, Cruntry, Royally and Francey autos in just about every way. Very simply put, I will repeat
over and over. That's it... and should cover just about all of our challenges: complete X episodes, play X scenes, find X objects, score X points, find X "special" objects, play X scenes without using hints, complete X "find the differences" bonus scenes, finish a scene with 3 stars, etc. Destiny is available for the California in-game award completion badge and all future challenges only (hopefully). Important: keep your Speed option at 70 (or less) to avoid their "It is difficult to keep my concentration" nag that slows you down. Unfortunately, this Html5 game is loading with completely different graphics in ALL browsers. Therefore, I took the time to code the auto thrice (covering the differences inside Google Chrome, Torch and Internet Explorer). So try every browser in your arsenal if you are having trouble connecting properly. Oh, and make sure you read the tip above to learn how to take full advantage of my
Replay button
option and smoke most of their challenges away even quicker.

Mel Gibson has reportedly admitted to slapping ex-partner Oksana Grigorieva in a sworn statement.
According to TMZ, the actor gave a sworn declaration dated June 23 in which he concedes that he slapped Grigorieva during an incident on January 6.
However, Gibson denies hitting his then-girlfriend and insists that he only struck her in order to stop her from "erratically" shaking their daughter Lucia as they argued.
The declaration states that Grigorieva lifted their baby daughter out of her bassinet during a disagreement and ran into the garden, which is dangerous at night due to rough terrain.
Gibson claims that Grigorieva then returned to the house and "started swinging Lucia erratically in her arms, jerking her body from side to side to keep Lucia out of [his] reach".
He adds: "I slapped Oksana one time with an open hand in an attempt to bring her back to reality.
"I did not slap her hard, I was just trying to shock her so that she would stop screaming, continuing shaking Lucia back and forth."
The website says that Gibson's account could support a defence of "using reasonable force to protect a child from injury" in any domestic violence charge.

[np_storybar title="Sports Champions 2″ link=""]Score: 7.0/10
Platform: PlayStation 3
Publisher: SCEA
Release: October 30, 2012
Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Move is playing the role of Betamax to competitors' VHS in the current motion control war.
It's a great technology. Far more accurate than Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii Remote and much more reliable than Microsoft Corp.'s Kinect motion sensor, its potential to deliver frustration-free movement-based game experiences is unmatched among the Big Three.
The reason it hasn't performed as well as the competition, I suspect, is that we haven't seen enough interesting games take advantage of it.
And while the brand new Sports Champions 2 is a good addition to its library, it won't be the game that shoots Sony's motion control system into the spotlight.The sequel to PlayStation Move's most popular launch title features five new sports — bowling, boxing, golf, tennis, and skiing — and carries over archery, the most memorable of its predecessor's events.
Most of these events represent impressive achievements in movement-based interface design, allowing players to use intuitive, real-world physical actions to perform familiar activities with satisfying precision — especially if you use two Move wands rather than one in events like boxing, skiing, and archery. They're proof of PlayStation Move's extraordinary ability to consistently and accurately track motion in 3D space.
Here's a quick look at each event:
This one all but demands two Move controllers. Then you can just put up your dukes and fight. You can block high and low, throw jabs at your opponents body and face, and deliver powerful roundhouses. Your virtual gloves follow your hands' movements perfectly. The sensor registers the speed and force of your blows, which means the only limitation to your combos comes in how fast and hard you can punch. It can be a real workout.
My need for $25-per-hour ten-pin bowling alleys has all but disappeared with this spot-on recreation of The Dude's favourite pastime. Move accurately tracks the speed, spin, loft, and aim of each throw. It's perhaps a little easier than the real thing (I've had several near-perfect games already), but it feels terrific. The only thing that could make it better would be John Turturro lurking in a neighbouring lane, wearing a purple track suit and licking his ball.
Among the easier games here, skiing is mostly a matter of raising and lowering your left and right arms to turn. You also need to make an authentic pulling motion to propel yourself out of the gate and dig your poles into the ground and tug yourself forward when you slow down. With three mountains and multiple runs, there's a fair bit of racing action waiting to be exploited.
An avid golfer since I was eight, I fancy myself a proper critic of golf video games. I was shocked by how accurately this simulation detects swings that would push or and pull a shot, and how it caught hooks and slices based on the turn of my wrists. It's too simple to fully capture the complete golf experience, but it scores high marks for letting me use real-world swing techniques and offering a trio of decent tracks on which to play.
This event was carried over from the original, and I don't mind at all. PlayStation Move feels made for archery. You start by reaching behind your back with your right hand and pressing the T-button to draw an arrow. Then bring it back over your shoulder to meet your outstretched left hand and notch the arrow in the bow. Then pull back, aim (you can press the Move button to zoom in if you like), and release the T-button to loose the arrow. It makes me felt like Legolas.
The weakest of this edition's events. As with golf, it precisely tracks wrist movement and swing speed, which means you can perform all sorts of real world shots, including top shots, drop shots, and lobs. The problem comes in timing and aiming. I felt like the game sometimes directs players to swing too early, leading to shots that head off in directions we don't intend. A little more work is needed here.
The single-player mode has players working through 18 events within each sport, including a nice mix of scoring challenges, races, duels, and the like. Early events are cleverly designed to gradually introduce players to the nuances of each sport, so as not to overload us with information. Later events prove much more challenging.
There's also a free play mode that lets players enter any event they like, by themselves or in a group, as well as a party mode that turns group play into a competition between up to four players. Party play works even if you have just a single Move wand, though the number of sports you can enter decreases, as does their authenticity.
So far so good. Sports Champions 2 offers up fun sports and nice selection of modes.
But it's also pretty flavourless. There's no spunk, no personality.
The only bit of flair I've encountered so far is a satin-suited bowler with a mirrored ball that looked like he plucked it from a nightclub ceiling. He had his own way of throwing, too; a weirdly smooth sort of two-handed, side-armed chuck. It's an unexpected twist in a game the presentation of which is otherwise lifeless.
Sports-themed mini-game collections may be targeted at broad audiences, but that doesn't mean they can't have a bit of genuine humour and sass, something to distinguish them from their bland competitors. Dull presentation just makes them that much easier to forget while furthering the belief held many traditional gamers that motion-control party games are little more than committee-driven corporate products with no soul or value as legitimate interactive entertainment.
Like its predecessor, Sports Champions 2 is a showcase for PlayStation Move technology. But without a style to call its own, it's not likely to leave a lasting impression.

The better way to study for examsLearn more here
Exams are important, but according to expert educator, Sunny Tan, parents have it wrong when it comes to helping their children prepare.
There's just too much worksheet drilling, especially in tuition centres when it comes to exams such as PSLE.
He has devised a novel approach known as the Unit Transfer Method that simplifies the learning of math.

Two installments of the Battle of the Boulevard brought two heartbreaking finishes for the Lipscomb men's basketball team.
That's the story after the Belmont Bruins (7-1) bested the Lipscomb Bisons (6-2) by a score of 76-74 in a crowded Curb Event Center Tuesday night.
Down by two, Lipscomb had 0.8 seconds to score a game-tying or a game-winning shot off a throw-in from the goal side, but redshirt senior guard Nate Moran missed a three-point attempt that bounced around the rim and fell to the floor with no time left.
"It was a good shot by a good shooter, and it didn't go in," Lipscomb head coach Casey Alexander said. "And so we lost."
Lipscomb's starting five brought a mixed bag to the court. Senior forward Rob Marberry was the only player who scored more than 10 points for the Bisons, bringing in 26 points and four assists. He also tied for the team lead with eight rebounds.
On the flip side, senior guard Garrison Mathews scored just five points, and senior forward Eli Pepper committed five fouls and exited the contest with 9:57 remaining.
"I'll give Belmont a lot of credit for doing a great job guarding [Mathews]," Alexander said. "And [I'll] give Garrison a lot of credit for just staying within the game and taking what came to him instead of trying to do too much."
Alexander also said that Pepper "gives us so much versatility defensively, that we were scrambling a little bit."
Meanwhile, Belmont freshman center Nick Muszynski dropped a team-leading 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
The first half was incredibly competitive. With 9:43 left, senior guard-forward Dylan Windler gave Belmont an 18-16 lead on a breakaway dunk.
But the Bisons responded with a run of 15-2 to take a 31-20 lead, and they in turn watched Belmont take a 13-4 run into the half. Lipscomb led 35-33 at the break.
The second half started out much like the first, but Belmont stayed a step or two ahead most of the time. The Bisons only led three times the entire second half.
Down 74-70, Lipscomb finally got its chance when Marberry scored two layups to tie the game at the 32-second mark.
Both teams traded possessions after that, and then freshman forward Caleb Hollander sunk a jumper with 4.7 seconds left to give the Bruins a 76-74 lead.
And then the Bisons, with just a few precious seconds left, watched as junior guard Kenny Cooper had the ball knocked away as he was driving into the lane. That left 0.8 seconds on the clock.
After a couple of Lipscomb timeouts, Moran took the throw-in and attempted his ill-fated three-pointer.

"As a guy that's been in a lot of these [situations], I just chalk it up as one more good [game]," Alexander said. "And I'm really disappointed for our kids that we're on the [losing] end."
The Bisons will get some time off to study for final exams this week. Navy will pay a visit to Allen Arena on Sunday. Tipoff is set for 1:30 p.m.

How to avoid a money pit
Unless you're in the business of flipping houses, you don't want to buy a money pit! In this article, we will look at some of the major issues of a house to consider before your purchase.
How to avoid a money pit
The worst thing in the world is to buy something, only to find that it will cost you much more money than you've already spent. In this article we are going to look at a few of the major cost issues of a house to be aware of before your purchase.
- Age – Was it built before JFK was president? The older the home, the more the upkeep and maintenance costs. Remember, when you're excited about those "antique" fixtures and charm, that just means they are old! The older it is, the closer to replacement.
- Plumbing – Be mindful of the plumbing condition. Are the drain pipes cast iron, do you see signs of leaking, how old is the water heater? Did you know the life expectancy of a solder joint in a copper water line is at least 50 years with good water condition?
- Heating and Cooling – Replacing a furnace or A/C unit will cost thousands of dollars! If you are old enough to buy a home and they are older than you, it's time to replace them.
- Electrical – Electrical code has changed a lot since the 1970s! If you notice an old breaker box, or the house is full of two prong, ungrounded outlets, an update is needed.
- Foundational – Cracks in the foundation can lead to structural issues and even water damage. This is a major cost, and one to consider when purchasing a home.
Buying a house is a huge decision! Make sure you are armed with enough information so you don't get caught in a money pit!

This small turtle is easily recognised by its flattened carapace that is distinctively serrated at the front and back, and by the yellow-edged, dark-brown to black plastron for which it earns its common name. There are also three prominent keels protruding down the length of the carapace, which varies considerably in colour from orange-yellow or tan to a rich chestnut or mahogany brown, to a rather drab olive. The olive to dark brown head is characterised by faint yellow markings near the eye and along the neck, and additional pale-coloured speckling may appear on the sides of the head and jaws, The rest of the skin is greyish brown, often dappled with tan, olive or orange colouring. Perhaps one of the most striking and conspicuous features of this unusual turtle, however, are the large and protuberant eyes with white irises, that give an alert expression.

Unlike centralized social networks (eg, Facebook), diaspora* has no central system that owns all user data. Distributed pods act as web servers, and connect to other pods, forming a connected social network.

Lucknow, Oct 12 (IANS) The Allahabad High Court on Thursday acquitted dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the murder of their teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj by giving them the benefit of the doubt, but left questions unanswered on who killed them.
A bench of Justice B.K. Narayana and Justice A.K. Mishra acquitted the couple for the murder of 14-year-old Aarushi Talwar at her Jalvayu Vihar home in Noida on May 16, 2008.
Their lawyer Rebecca John said the evidence presented by the CBI "did not stand judicial scrutiny and that is the end of it".
Pinaki Misra, another defence counsel, said the CBI court judgment was "absolutely perverse and the High Court has set it aside correctly".
After a Special CBI Court in Ghaziabad convicted them for the murders in 2013 and handed them life terms, the Talwars appealed in the Allahabad High Court against the verdict.
The Talwars were lodged in Dasna jail in Ghaziabad district ever since their 2013 conviction.
Another defence lawyer Tanveer Ahmad said they were awaiting a copy of the detailed court order and expected Rajesh and Nupur Talwar to be out of prison anytime on Friday.
Aarushi was found murdered in her bedroom, following which Hemraj was initially a suspect. However, his body too was found in a pool of blood a day later on the terrace of the house.
The UP Police accused Rajesh Talwar of killing his daughter in a fit of rage after he allegedly found Aarushi in a compromising situation with Hemraj. Rajesh Talwar was arrested on May 23, 2008.
On May 31, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the case. It initially absolved the parents of conspiracy and murder but later held them responsible.
On June 13, Rajesh Talwar's compounder Krishna was arrested by the CBI. Ten days later, Raj Kumar, a servant of a doctor friend of the Talwars, and Vijay Mandal, the domestic help of the Talwars' neighbour, were also nabbed.
The three were later freed after no evidence was found against them.

text: Photographed by Derick Marquez For the past year I have all too often dreamt of the moment where I would walk right up to my boss and nonchalantly say, "Hey, I quit." Who knew this past October 2016 I'd actually do just that. My name is Jakiya Brown, or as you might know me, @travelingfro. Some would say, "I'm living the dream," traveling the world after making an exit stage left from my 9-9 #corporatelife; but that didn't come easy. It's not that I didn't enjoy my job, but somewhere along the way (3 years to be precise) I discovered my passion. I was working for over 6 years in the beauty industry, developing marketing and advertising campaigns for some of the biggest brands in beauty. But I came to a point where I realized, "I don't want to do this anymore…and that's ok." I wanted more flexibility and ownership of my time. It was after my first trip to Africa on a 1 month volunteer assignment that I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Travel. And I mean real travel, NOT "vacationing." I didn't want to do it for the selfies, tourist sights, or the Instagram stuntin'; although that's fun too. I wanted to genuinely travel; experience new cultures, immerse […] Read More

Hello again everyone.
Very recently I sent out a plea for help to the Partner to Success Face Book Group.
Although I have been receiving traffic from the Partnership members when they are blog commenting I receive no traffic from outside the group that is not spam. I know I am not alone in this; it is a problem that many of us share.
Product Creation
At the moment the group members are focusing on creating their individual products and solutions, and as I intend to create a product about attracting traffic from the internet I wanted to delve deeper into this topic. I believe that to write about a topic you should actually know and understand what you are writing about, and be able to show it in use. So I decided to ask for help.
My Plea for Help with Traffic
My plea for help was answered almost immediately by members of the group. Thank you all, I am very grateful.
Advice Received
- It was Omar Martin who pointed out to me that I would pay for my traffic either with cash or time, and he is so right. Paying for traffic with cash would be a good way to go, and it is something I will definitely explore in detail. At the moment I am paying in time trying to understand the different methods that are out there for our use.
- A few people suggested that I study John Thornhill's methods in his eBook 'Simple Traffic Solutions'. I have this in my possession and will indeed go back through it. Undoubtedly I will pick up more information from it than I did on my first read. I find this happens quite a lot. It doesn't matter what I read but from the second or third read I always gather different information. Does this happen with you?
- Torsten Muller has pointed me towards two of his excellent blog posts which I have printed off and I will work my way through them both. Thank you Torsten. marketingwithtorsten.com
- Jennifer Saenz suggests Twitter and Google+ as well as videos for YouTube. Good suggestions Jennifer. Thank you.
- Dan Tredo and igor Griffiths gave great advice when they directed me back to the course. Yes I should really bring all this information together and start creating my product. Thank you Dan and igor.
- Brian Oliver suggests that I should buy a couple of products to study and test them. This is a good idea and would help me to create my own product. Thank you Brian.
- Both Sue Worthington and Paul R Light suggest creating a freebie based on my course training so far. I like that idea. Thank you Sue and Paul.
Elaine Summers and Lee Fox both said they also need this information. I hope you can use the advice contributed by our fellow members.
Thank you all. This advice is very helpful.
Until next time
Take care

I was never really a fan of lemon pie until now! This recipe far exceeded my expectations. The crust was a nice flaky (flavourful) shortbread base and the custard consisted of "1" cup of pure fresh lemon juice! Almost enough to make you pucker!!!! Earlier in the month I had baked a lemon pie to take to my MIL's that consisted of sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and sugar..but this custard pie was far superior ! I won't get into the fact that it took a whooping 5 eggs, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 3/4 of a cup of sugar to produce! I was going to top it with a meringue but then went for the whip cream (which I prefer) !
Of course there was butter in the crust too (but that also adds to the perfection) !

Karisma Hotels & Resorts pride themselves on bringing only the best to their guests – they call it Gourmet Inclusive®. It's a level of service, sophistication, and cuisine that is unmatched in the industry – but also hard to define. They needed a way to convey the true difference that sets them apart from the rest.
An Immersive Experience
To truly bring the beauty of Gourmet Inclusive® to life, we created an experience that drew guests in. Each defining detail was set apart in its own section, allowing the story to unfold and the user to explore.
Responsive. Yet Refined.
The experience was created to not only define Gourmet Inclusive®, but mimic the sophistication. We developed a responsive platform with refined breakpoints and device specific design, ensuring that every guest experienced only the best, no matter their device.
Delivering the Promise
We changed the messaging and structure of the digital ads to match the new definition of Gourmet Inclusive®. Future guests were left with no doubt of what they would experience at every one of Karisma's resorts.
Now that their point of difference was clearly defined, we were able to more than double the first year's ROI goal. The repositioning of Gourmet Inclusive® has produced increases year-over-year in market share and web phone volume, and of course, ROI.
