iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 5s: 10 Things to Expect
Thanks to a budget price tag, solid hardware and quality software, the iPhone 5s is still a very solid smartphone nearly two years after its release. But how will it stack up with the rumored iPhone 6s? Here we take a look at what we expect from the iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 5s matchup.
Its been nearly two years since Apple announced the iPhone 5s and the iOS 7 update. And while the iPhone 5s has gotten older, it remains a budget option for those looking to score a high quality smartphone without a wallet-busting price tag. Apple sells it for $99 and $149 on-contract but you can find it for much less through third-party avenues.
The iPhone 5s' hardware isn't top of the line but it's going to be good enough for a lot of people. The phone also stands to improve from Apple's upcoming iOS 9 release. The iOS 9 release date is unknown but what we do know is that the software will bring tangible performance improvements to older devices. If you currently own an iPhone 5s, there's reason to be excited.
Still, there are certainly going to be some iPhone 5s users who will be looking to upgrade later this year. Those who signed two year contracts in the fall of 2013 will be eligible for upgrades soon. There are a ton of options on the table right now and there will be more options coming in the future.
The iPhone 6s will likely be one of those options. Apple hasn't confirmed anything yet but it's clear that it has at least two new iPhone models on the way. Rumors also point to the arrival of an iPhone 6c though those rumors are far more flimsy than the iPhone 6s rumors that've seeped to the surface this year.
With current and prospective iPhone 5s users in mind, we want to take a look at a few things we think you can expect from the iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 5s matchup. Our goal here is to help put set your expectations as we push deeper into the summer towards the inevitable iPhone 6s launch date.
iPhone 6s Launch Date
"How long do I have to wait for the iPhone 6s?" That's a common question we've been getting from iPhone 5s users as iPhone 6s rumors have started to build. And while we don't have an official iPhone 6s launch date just yet, it appears that we are closing in on one.
According to BuzzFeed's John Paczkowski, a reliable source, Apple will host an iPhone launch date on September 9th. This is the same day that it used to launch the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus last year and it fits in with everything we've heard about iPhone 6s production and the device's release date.
If this date holds, and it should, we could see Apple send out media invites as soon as this week. Last year, the company shipped out media invites on August 28th. Perhaps we'll see the same this year.
We would expect Apple to host a live stream of the event on its website giving those not in attendance a chance to follow along. And if you're interested in buying, or replacing the iPhone 5s, you'd be wise to tune in if given the opportunity.
iPhone 6s Pre-Orders
The iPhone 5s didn't go up for pre-order ahead of its release date though that was an anomaly. Apple almost always takes pre-orders for its iPhone and it hasn't been surprising to see rumors point to an iPhone 6s pre-order date that falls shortly after the launch event on September 9th.
The iPhone 6s pre-order date is rumored to be September 11th, or, the Friday after the launch event. This date is rumored for France.
France is typically among the first to get the iPhone. The United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, UK, and China are the others. So, there's a good chance that iPhone 6s pre-orders will start on September 11th in the U.S. as well.
If Apple takes iPhone 6s pre-orders, expect them to start on September 11th. This is standard Apple protocol and it lines up perfectly with the iPhone 6s launch date.
You should also expect to have to act quickly. Apple typically starts pre-orders at midnight PST and the device usually sells out within hours. So, if you decide to buy it in favor of the iPhone 5s, you'll probably need to act fast if you want the device on release day.
If you decide to buy the iPhone 5s instead of the iPhone 6s, you shouldn't have any problems. Even if Apple decides to stop selling it, many retailers and carriers will still have it in stock.
iPhone 6s Release Date
"When is the iPhone 6s release date?" This is another question we've been getting from iPhone 5s owners and smartphone shoppers.
The iPhone 6s release date isn't confirmed but it's rumored for September 18th or September 25th with September 18th emerging as the most likely candidate for the first iPhone 6s release date.
Apple likes to release its iPhone the week after launch. It also likes to release the iPhone on Friday. September 18th fits the profile and that's precisely when to expect the iPhone 6s release date if you live in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and the UK.
We'd expect Apple to use a series of release dates with some countries getting the iPhone 6s (and iPhone 6s Plus) a few days or weeks after the initial run.
Cheaper iPhone 5s
We're still not sure how Apple's iPhone lineup will change once the iPhone 6s is released though you can expect one thing for sure. The iPhone 5s will be cheaper than the iPhone 6s, probably by a long shot.
Apple's done pretty well for itself at the $199.99 on-contract/$650 off-contract starting price point and we wouldn't expect anything to change this year. Apple seems comfortable with the iPhone's price point and customers seem comfortable with it as well.
Exactly how the iPhone 5s will fit in is a mystery though we wouldn't expect its $99/$149 price points to hold, at least not at Apple.
We'd expect to see a number of iPhone 5s price cuts emerge in and around the iPhone 6s release date. We wouldn't be surprised if a number of places started selling it for free on-contract. Free on-contract or not, expect the iPhone 6s to command a much higher price point.
The iPhone 5s' rear camera is still able to shoot solid photos and video though you shouldn't expect it to be able to match the iPhone 6s'.
Every year, Apple improves the iPhone camera. Both the hardware and the software. Last year, Apple made some tweaks to the iPhone 6 camera that put it a step above the iPhone 5s'. While they both come with 8MP sensors, the iPhone 6 is able to shoot better photos in low-light. It's also able to focus faster and it can shoot footage at a higher frame rate per second.
Analysts believe that the iPhone 6s' two cameras will be two of its biggest selling points. iPhone 6s camera rumors have focused on a 12MP rear camera. If this is true, you can expect the iPhone 6s to shoot photos in higher resolution. There's also talk of 4K video and that could be another advantage it holds over the iPhone 5s and its camera.
We've also heard that the iPhone 6s will sport a 5MP front-facing camera. If that's true, and we've seen tons of rumors hint at a change to the FaceTime camera, the iPhone 6s could provide better looking video chat and selfies.
The iPhone 6s is rumored to have a new A9 processor with a new Qualcomm chip on board. These upgrades should help the phone deliver faster LTE data speeds and improved battery battery life when using LTE. LTE can drain battery pretty fast and it looks this new processor/MDM9635M chip combo will help to mitigate that.
The iPhone 6s is also expected to feature 2GB of RAM, the first iPhone to do so. That, combined with the other upgrades, should ensure that the iPhone 6s delivers top notch performance.
We expect the iPhone 6s to be the most powerful iPhone it has ever created. So if it's horsepower you're looking for, the iPhone 6s might be your pick.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus also come with an NFC, a feature that allows users to use Apple Pay without an Apple Watch. The iPhone 6s is rumored to have NFC and there's no reason to believe that that won't happen. Apple Pay is only getting bigger.
Bigger Screen & Force Touch
The iPhone 5s comes with a small 4-inch Retina Display. Some people love still love the size (this could be why the company is reportedly planning a 4-inch iPhone 6c). If you fall into that group, you might not like what you see from the new iPhone.
iPhone 6s rumors and leaks point to the same 4.7-inch screen size that Apple debuted on last year's iPhone 6. We haven't seen any rumors point to radical changes so this is what we'd expect. We'd also expect it to come with solid resolution though don't go expecting it to come with Quad HD like the Galaxy Note 5.
You should expect the iPhone 6s to come with another powerful display upgrade that's not found on the iPhone 5s. That upgrade? Force Touch.
Force Touch made its debut on the Apple Watch and new MacBook but rumors suggest that Apple will bring it to the iPhone this year. If true, and we expect that it is, it would allow users to use pressure-sensitive gestures to easily clear notifications or use shortcuts within certain applications.
This is a feature that the iPhone 5s will never get so you'll really want to pay attention to the feature if and when Apple announces it on stage.
Designs & Storage
If you're hoping for a redesigned iPhone 7 next month, you're probably going to be disappointed. Instead, you can expect the iPhone 6s design to look at whole lot like the iPhone 6 design. If you've ever seen an iPhone 6, you have some idea about how it will compare to the iPhone 5s.
The iPhone 6s design is, however, expected to come with at least one major change. Apple's current iPhones feature Series 6000 aluminum. This is an extremely common material though as last year's Bendgate debacle showed, it comes with a weak point. A weak point that Apple apparently fixed.
Analysis of an alleged iPhone 6s back plate points to the use of a new Series 7000 Aluminum. As we've noted, this is most commonly used in aerospace.
Due to the change, the iPhone 6s might be wider and thicker than the iPhone 6 though we're talking about a difference in millimeters. It's still going to be thin and easy for most people to hold in one hand. Just like the iPhone 5s.
Familiar Carriers
The iPhone 5s is available on a ton of carriers. Expect the iPhone 6s to be available on a ton of carriers as well.
T-Mobile's already confirmed plans to stock the next iPhone and we expect other major carriers like AT&T and Verizon to follow suit.
We'd also expect smaller regional and pre-paid carriers to stock the iPhone 6s giving you a wide range of data plans and network sizes to choose from.
iOS 9 & Beyond
As for software, expect the iPhone 6s to run iOS 9 out of the box, though, you shouldn't expect it to run the same iOS 9 that comes to the iPhone 5s.
Apple always tacks on some exclusive software features to its iPhone "S" models. And while we don't know what it has up its sleeve for the iPhone 6s, you should expect there to be some differences between the two operating systems. Maybe it's a feature that relies on hardware that the iPhone 5s doesn't have.
The iPhone 5s will improve thanks to the iOS 9 update so if you already own the iPhone 5s, you might want to wait to see how it performs before making your move.
iPhone 6s Release Date Announcement
The first thing you need to know about the iPhone 6s release date is that the announcement should come on September 9th.
Apple will reportedly host an iPhone launch event on September 9th. Invites haven't gone out yet but if the company follows protocol, we could see the company issue them sometime this week. Apple sent out invites for last year's September 9th iPhone 6 event on August 28th.
Apple always confirms specific release date details at its iPhone events and it's there that you should plan on hearing about the official iPhone 6s release date for the first time.
If you're at all interested in the iPhone 6s and its release, this is the date to circle on the calendar. And given the source, it's probably alright to circle it in pen.

Santa Cesarea
Destination Weddings in Santa Cesarea
Couples choosing to marry in Santa Cesarea Terme, Apulia will discover a city built where the Adriatic Sea merges with the Ionian Sea, towards the extreme end of the Italian heel. Immerse yourself in the wild nature of this marvelous touristic spa, sheltered by a spur and lying on a plain which drops sheer to the steep cliff. Exchange your wedding vows on an elegant and solemn land, which is mirrored in the blue emerald green of the Otranto Canal, and leans towards the East.
Santa Cesarea Terme is situated on a long stretch of coast rich in hot springs. Chlorinated, sulphuretted and iodic waters flow out of the springs at variable temperatures in four natural caves, communicating with the sea: Gattulla, Fetida, Sulfurea and Solfatara.
The wind which blows on the sea generates a fragrant air, rich in iodine and in ozone. It becomes even healthier thanks to the wonderful pinewood growing on top of the highland and sloping down almost behind the town. On the wooded top a wide terrace has been built to give people the chance to admire the enchanting panorama.
Santa Cesarea Terme is not only a synonym of thermal or medical cures or of wellbeing; it also offers many opportunities to have fun and relax accordingly to your needs. There is a long list of activities you can do, so take your time to enjoy your favorite ones on the free days coming after the ceremony. You can go dancing, swimming, horseback riding, diving, trekking and go for long walks en plain air.
Between Diso and Santa Cesarea Terme you can find the most important and legendary caves of the Salento Coast. The most famous one is called Grotta Romanelli, where traces of the human presence from the Paleolithic until the Metal period have been found.
The beautiful landscape, the precious architecture in neo-Moorish style, the body care, the entertainment, the richness of gastronomy, people's traditions and friendliness are the best conditions for an unforgettable wedding in Apulia.

This is obviously the second movie inspired by Parts: The Clonus Horror [the first being The Island], yet when I look up both the film and novel... where is the mention of this? Are we going to try to pretend like this is an original idea because it's highbrow, when we feel comfortable dragging The Island through the muck because it's trash? I haven't done enough investigation to be sure, but let's just say I hope Robert Fiveson, writer-director of Clonus, got a big fat check, or if not, is suing the makers of this film, just as he successfully made a claim against the Bay film.
So we have an opening title that a medical technology [which we know will be cloning] was developed in the late 50s, and by the 60s human life expectancy had passed 100. We are introduced, via voice-over, to Kathy, played by Carey Mulligan of An Education, in her younger incarnation, with her schoolmates Ruth and Tommy, at British boarding school Hailsham. We see Charlotte Rampling as Madame telling the kids that keeping themselves healthy is of paramount importance. We learn that the kids think something terrible will happen to them should they step outside the school's gates. Tommy is outcast by his male schoolmates, so Kathy makes friends with him. They are all encouraged to make art, some of which is taken away to the mysterious "gallery." At a certain point a new attendant at the school, Miss Emily, tells them the truth: They are clones raised for the sole purpose of organ harvesting. When they reach maturity they will start having organs pulled out, and eventually they will die. If you're seeing this movie, you probably know that going in, making little touches like the kids getting so excited over a shipment of new toys--new to them, that is, since they're all broken and used and worn and crappy--quietly affecting.
The next section of the film occurs when our group is eighteen and moves out of Hailsham into "cottages." It's is now that we realize there are many different schools and countrywide cottages raising clones. One of the quiet little evocative details is a van with a logo for the program, the banality of which implies the vastness of this program, and makes you picture everyday scenes such as seeing a van like this pass one on the highway and thinking "Oh, there go some clones," the way you might think about a bus of prisoners or learning disabled. Which, I would say, is what makes this successful science fiction--that it inspires those thoughts and makes one reflect on our own times in that way.
But I digress! Our trio moves into the cottages, where we learn that Tommy and Ruth have ended up together, casting Kathy into the role of "good friend." In here is a bunch of material around sex and romance, with our clones wondering what to do with their bodies and what is happening to them. You'll notice that Ruth has a slightly superior, mocking quality toward Kathy around her relationship with Tommy. In here one of the kids thinks they saw Ruth's original--the person she was cloned from--and they go to find her. Realizing it's not her, Ruth says that the people they have been cloned from are criminals and low-lifes. The other couple they meet at the cottages ask them if they've heard about the "deferrals" a couple can get if they prove that they're really in love. Tommy figures that must have been what all the artwork for the gallery was for--to prove the worth of their individuality, so they can prove that they're really in love.
There is a third section, a few years later, that I'll leave for you to discover. There were moments in here where me and my friend thought maybe there wasn't ultimately going to be that much to this movie, but a new story thread toward the end satisfyingly gives shape to everything and lends an extra sheen of thoughtfulness to all that has come before. Also on the menu are additional banal details that evoke the quiet pathos of what is happening here.
One late point is that the school made measures to prove to the outside world that the clones were people, and had souls--but no one wanted to listen. The public doesn't want to go back to the days where people died of lung or breast cancer, so they just bury their heads and don't concern themselves about the clones at all. The last line of the film finds one of the clones asking if regular people live lives where they don't understand what they've been through, or feel like they've had enough time.
Which brings us back to what makes this successful science fiction--because it is about the lives we lead now and makes us think about them. The clones are forced to be aware of the shortness and ultimate pointlessness of their lives, which causes us to relect on how our lives are also short and [some might argue] pointless, but we push away those thoughts because we don't HAVE to think them. The brilliantly-conceived [or gently borrowed] concept here works beautifully in all sorts of ways to make us reflect on questions about what it means to live and to experience life, love, and everyday sensations. And the many little events and twists of the film are all carefully focused on making us reflect on these different aspects.
It helps that the performances are all perfectly modulated. Mulligan again is completely charming and empathetic, and doesn't strike a false note. One wants to dislike Keira Knightly because of those hideous Pirates of the Caribbean movies and crap like Domino and such, but the fact is that she's really good. Turns out that somewhat superior attitude she was taking toward Kathy in the middle section was all part of the overall story and fits perfectly in when you see the overall arc. Andrew Garfield is also quite good. The direction has a slow, meditative quality that works well, remaining cool to the emotional aspects in a way that only heightens them. Some critics have found the film cold and aloof... and I might respond "Well, some people could be a little more attentive, now, and back in their college literature classes." Because the distant, unemotional tone of the film is there in service of the overall pathos, letting affecting details accumulate in the viewer's mind until the entire thing begins overflowing with emotion. Furthermore, it is important for the tone to pull back and remain stationed toward the objective, the better for these thoughts and feelings to be generated by the attentive viewer, rather than told and sold to you by an overbearing style.
So there you go, an excellent and affecting little film about nothing less than the meaning of life, that does what the best science fiction does in getting us to use this tale as a springboard to reflect on the meaning of our own lives.
If you're a fan of thoughtful, meditative sci-fi, you sure should.
Beautiful movie
Lulu replied on Wed, 05/06/2015 - 2:37am
This was one amazing movie: quiet story quietly told, but oh what a punch. I kind of use it as a test for the new people I meet : "How did you like Never Let Me Go?" (or before that film, this French movie called "An Affair of Love" in English, and "Une Affaire Pornographique" in French, with Nathalie Baye) To me, the story resonates on so many human levels, and the acting and art department work are superb too. Call me sappy, but the people who cried by the end of Never Let Me Go, these people I don't want to let go of. (Ask my current boyfriend!) Thank you for your fine review of it.
Agreed / Novel
CdMScott replied on Thu, 05/07/2015 - 9:49am
Agreed, I really liked this film. I later read the novel and I actually think the film might work better. The novel is a SLOW reveal, and... it's hard to know how I would have reacted had I already known the secret. In the film, I think it helps to actually SEE the school and their toy box, etc. I'll have to check out your other few "test" movies, haha.

When a flood causes human remains to be unearthed, the Parker family's existence starts to reveal itself in this horror film. Review after the jump.
Mrs Parker is out shopping when she suddenly starts to bleed from the mouth and collapses into a large puddle, causing her to drown. Obviously the Parker's, which consists of a father, two daughters and a young son, are upset but soon go about their everyday life.
We can tell that the family are different to others from the off. They dress in vintage clothes, they are very religious and they act differently. This is mainly due to their secret. An old custom that has been in their family for hundreds of years – they are cannibals.
The small-town doctor, who lost his daughter years back, comes across a bone in a stream and soon comes to the conclusion that it came from a human. After tests on the corpse of Mrs Parker, he soon starts to piece together the puzzle of the missing townspeople and the Parker's secret.
We Are What We Are is a remake of a 2010 Mexican horror film. Although the film can be slow at times, we are drawn into the life of the Parkers – willing to know more about what makes them do what they do.
The film is shot beautifully, with great landscape shots, close-ups of rain dripping on trees and excellent lighting. Hats off to cinematographer Ryan Samul. The acting in the film is rather excellent too.
Like stated earlier, the film can be slow in parts, but stick with it for a well-made horror film with a powerful ending.

Day 9 - Finally Home!
Our family just adopted two sibling orphans, Neti and Meke, from Ethiopia. This blogsite documents our thoughts and experiences on this journey.
How cute!
Thanks for the reality of your first week with the girls. My wife and I hope to be receiving our referral for two children from Ethiopia by the end of the year. It's good to know a little of what to expect! God's blessings to your expanded family!
-Gabriel Carpenter
Were they the ptinces generic or the octopus? Life is good with lucky charms
oh and i love the "effa"
CEREAL??? Our 2 new ones (ages 6 and 8), home for 3 weeks from Ethiopia, won't touch cereal. They sure eat a lot of Dabo (bread), though. But, no thank you to the cereal, said with finger wagging in our face!

At least four times a day.
I need fellow parents to chime in on this one, particularly Angelenos – is it normal to have to visit the dumpster four times a day once you have children?!?
Ever since Archer & Logan came home, I feel like I can't walk Rexford without there being a stack of trash waiting by the door.
Maybe it's the convenience(necessity) of delivery & pre-prepared meals in the concrete utopia of LA? Or perhaps the fact that instead of weekly trips to Target (like most parents?) we order daily items from Amazon?
It doesn't help that we have to clean the bunnies' litter boxes and cages every week.
& diapers. Always diapers.
I really shouldn't complain; I can't imagine working a full job, having the twin-feeding cycle, & having to create our own meals twenty-one times a week instead of simply visiting munchery.com.
At the same time, I sometimes do miss life outside LA, where you can own a home, with a garage, & only have to put your trash out once a week on Tuesday nights…
Tuesday night, that reminds me! I have to set out the boxes for Farm Fresh To You's overnight produce delivery tonight.
PS – at least this.

Counselling Services
For the past 3 years LINC has financed low cost counselling for those within our community who require it. While we continuously seek to source funding to continue this important service financial constraints have forced us to re-evaluate the way the service is delivered at present. In order to monitor and maintain the service we publish a list of counsellors on our website. We ask that community members when accessing counselling chose from this list (see below). We also ask that the community member contributes €10 to the cost of the session and LINC will fund the remainder. There are provisions through LINC for 6 sessions.
We are also looking at ways that we can make this service more affordable and sustainable. To this end, over the coming months we hope to recruit counsellors who are qualified but are still in the process of building up their accreditation contact hours.
List of Counsellors:

Robbing Peter to pay Paul might work in the world of allegory, but as a practical matter, it didn't do much for Steve Rago.
Rago, of Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, was accused of taking a wallet belonging to someone else while he was at an Alleghany Township court to pay court fees. Rago then allegedly used the money in the wallet to pay his fees, before leaving with the wallet, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Advertisement - story continues below
According to a complaint obtained by KDKA, last Thursday a woman set her wallet down on a counter then left. When she realized she had forgotten it, she returned, but the wallet was gone.
Court employees then examined security footage.
TRENDING: Schumer Furious That Republicans Are Granting Green New Deal a Senate Vote
Patrolman Kerry Myers reported in Rago's arrest papers that he was summoned to the court officer, according to WRCB.
Myers also reviewed security cameras and witnessed Rago, who he knew.

He alleged the wallet and been left on the counter and was taken while the camera was rolling.
In the arrest document, Myers said the video showed Rago "sliding the wallet with his left hand over to him. Rago then puts the wallet in his front pocket of his sweatshirt, while looking around. Rago then enters the public bathroom several times, pays on a fine with cash, and then exits the magistrate's office."
Allegheny Township Police Chief John Fontaine said the theft was unusually bold.
"It was pretty brazen that this happened the way it did," he said. "Magistrates' offices are all on camera. It was pretty brazen of him to try to get away with it."
In the arrest records, Myers stated he called Rago, who said he would return the wallet, and did so.

When the wallet returned, there was $100 reportedly missing. Fontaine said that Rago then asked to return to his apartment.
"He paid it all back, and they were able to recover the ID cards," Fontaine said.
At the time of the incident Rago was free on a $2,500 bond for two charges of simple assault.
District Judge Cheryl Peck Yakopec rescinded Rago's bail, which meant he was taken to jail until Rago's next hearing on the assault charges.

Rago will also have a Nov. 7 hearing on the theft charge against him.

Roughly 80 non-urgent surgeries will be cancelled this week
Winnipeg hospitals are cancelling dozens of surgeries this week to make room on the wards for patients sick with the flu.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority announced late Monday that roughly 80 elective and non-emergency surgeries scheduled this week would be postponed.
The news comes just after flu season began to peak last week, with officials reporting the severity of the H3N2 strain resulting in more hospitalizations and worse symptoms than previous years. Despite many doctors' claims that immunization is the best defence against the respiratory virus, only 19 per cent of Manitobans have gotten the vaccination.
However, emergency and cancer surgeries will continue as planned, he said, as will day surgeries, which do not require overnight use of inpatient beds.
Patients will be contacted if their surgeries need to be delayed, he said.
Across Winnipeg, about 70 extra beds and 68 surgery beds have been opened at hospitals for patients sick with influenza.
Hospitals are continuing to transfer patients out of hospitals to long-term care facilities in an attempt to free up more beds.

New Delhi: Have you come across someone who follows Indian cricket but is not a fan of Sachin Tendulkar? If no, then the English batsman Eoin Morgon's All-time XI might surprise you.
The only criteria for selecting his best XI was that he had to pick the ones he has played with, against or was influenced by. Here is the list -
- Alastair Cook (c)
- Jacques Kallis
- Ricky Ponting
- Brian Lara
- AB de Villiers
- Kumar Sangakkara
- MS Dhoni (wk)
- Anil Kumble
- James Anderson
- Dale Steyn
- Mitchell Johnson
Apart from Tendulkar's exclusion, Anil Kumble's selection in the list also raised eyebrows considering the newly appointed Indian National Cricket Team Coach had to beat the likes of Shane Warne and Muttiah Murlitharan.
Seems like our 'Jumbo' is famous among his peers yet again!

Boundless Groundless Optimism
Friday evening. The beginning of a new weekend, the end of a long week. The beginning of a new series for a Twins team that desperately needs a fresh start. Ah, can't you just smell the optimism!
So Mr. Third Base Line and I settled in with a couple of Fuji Apple Chicken Salads from Panera (they're fabulous, try one) and turned on the game. We were promptly treated to four and a half innings of a pitcher's duel. The Twins were holding their own, excellent! (Except that Torii Hunter got injured in the first inning, but it doesn't look season-ending or anything.)
And then we saw something we've never seen before.
Three errors on one play. Try to conceive of that, if you will. Having trouble? Here's a play by play:
Runners on first and second, two away. (Errors with two outs just add insult to injury, don't you think?)
--Johnny Damon singles on a line drive to right fielder Jacque Jones. Bill Mueller scores.
--Jacque Jones (RF) throws to Joe Mauer (C), who lets the ball skip between his legs and bounce toward the dugout. Catching error on Mauer. Tony Graffanino scores.
--Carlos Silva (P) fields the ball in foul territory and throws to Joe Mauer (C). Throw goes wild. Throwing error on Silva.
--Justin Morneau (1B) fields the ball in foul territory and throws to Luis Rodriguez (3B) in a pickoff attempt (Damon caught between 3rd and home). Rodriguez throws to Joe Mauer (C) and hits the runner with the ball. Throwing error on Rodriguez.
I think I just felt my soul shrivel.
The official scorer did not record an error against Silva, but I stand by the account above--that throw was atrocious.

{a little helper}
Of course my scraproom is like a playground for Keira.....lots of bottles to play with, markers to sort, stickers to use....etc :). The other day when she woke up from her nap I guess she thought I needed my paints reorganized.
I've been trying to work with her on counting...."one, two, three". Instead she says, "one, one, one, one...". It cracks Adam and me up. This morning before her nap she colored me a "picture" and you can bet I'll be including that on a scrapbook page sometime soon ;)
These are a few layouts I did over at my friend Michelle's house a few weekends ago.
I think Keira's room is my favorite one in the whole house.....mostly because I had a lot of time to decorate it and thoughtfully pick out each decoration.
This patterned paper is by Doodlebug....I picked it up awhile back knowing that it would be perfect for some little girl pages.
This layout is one of my favorites....I just love these loopy letter stickers, they are by Doodlebug as well and I finally got my hands on 4 packs of them! Black, pink and brown.
Here we go again with the Thickers......I also punched hearts out of patterned paper and stitched over them down the page.
I know this Taylor Swift song is a romantic one....but I love the phrase and I think it sums up Keira pretty perfectly. ;)

Chinese regulators have granted a license to Apple Inc. for the release of its iPhone 6 in the world's largest smartphone market.
The license, released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Wednesday, will allow the US technology giant to sell the latest models of its widely popular device in mainland China, its third largest market after the United States and Europe.
The iPhone 6 series will be available in China from Oct. 17 and priced at between 5,288 yuan (US$860) and 7,888 yuan, TechWeb reported on Wednesday, citing an Apple announcement.
Mainland China was not among the countries and regions where Apple launched pre-orders of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on Sept. 19 and 26.
The MIIT said it had conducted strict security checks on the products and held talks with Apple executives over privacy and security issues before issuing the license.
Analysts expect the iPhone 6 series will be very popular among mainland consumers, BBC reported.

From UCANEWS
Relatives refuse to accept their breadwinners died in Cyclone Ockhi as poverty increases in the Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Hundreds of families remain anxious and living in poverty in the fishing villages of southern India as they wait for the homecoming of some 300 fishermen who went missing after Cyclone Ockhi hit them seven weeks ago.
Fear and trauma are keeping fishermen on land as families hope for their men to return, refusing even to file missing person reports with police as it would be tantamount to accepting them as dead.
"We can't accept that my father is dead," said 35-year-old Treesa Rajan, whose 62-year-old father Thomas Benjamin of Valiathura village has not been seen since the cyclone hit the southern tip of India from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5.
"He's a brave man. He doesn't fear the sea and has decades of experience. He will come back if he got carried away to some distant unknown shores," she said.
"If we (the family) have to accept him as dead, then we have to bury his body according to our Catholic faith." Portuguese missionaries brought Catholicism to the region in the 16th century.
Rajan said 12 bodies in the mortuary have yet to be identified. "We will wait until all are identified," she said, asserting that without funeral rites they cannot consider her father as dead.
Like her father, thousands of fishermen were at sea unaware of the impending cyclone. A month after the tragedy, government officials put the number of missing at more than 600. But church officials say the number has come down.
Father Eugene Pereira, vicar general of Trivandrum Archdiocese that covers the area, told ucanews.com that 324 people are missing from the southern coastal tip, which includes areas under Tamil Nadu and Kerala states.
Kerala government records show 71 people have died and 105 are missing in Kerala. Parliament was told on Dec. 27 that 400 people were missing from Tamil Nadu. The government has not released any renewed figures since then. Father Pereira agreed that official government records do not tally with Church data.
Local media reports said Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has asked officials to prepare a final list of the missing and dead before Jan. 22 when the state's Legislative Assembly begins.
"Our men are traumatized after the cyclone as they suffered irreparable destruction. Most deep sea fishermen are still haunted by the effect of the cyclone," said Augustine Kanippily, archdiocesan public relations officer. He said those who survived the disaster are not yet ready to go fishing.
Local people say the sea has become erratic. "Since the 2004 Asian tsunami, there have been a lot of changes happening in the sea," said Robert Panippilla, a researcher. He said fishermen are seriously afraid of the sea after the cyclone. The last cyclone on the coast was about 70 years ago, he noted.
Hunger and poverty have increased since the cyclone as families do not allow their men to venture out to sea, he said. "This is not the sea we saw growing up as children. It has become unpredictable for us. It's much more polluted and unclean," Panippilla said.
Trivandrum Archdiocese has assigned doctors and counselors to help traumatized fishermen and family members. "But it will take at least a few months for people to recover. People in trauma can't exactly say what is haunting them and what is going on within them," said Carlos Pius, a social worker among fishing people in Poovar village.
The Kerala government has provided free rice, other provisions and a monthly grant of 2,500 rupees (US$39) to all families in the affected area. The government has also distributed 2.2 million rupees each to 29 families whose members died in the disaster.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students studying marine science or science education majors to learn more about environmental education, marine science, and the Gulf coast while living at the beach!
The successful candidate should be interested in marine science and environmental education and have completed a minimum of one year of biology or education. Interns live in the Sea Lab dorms, and are expected to work some nights and weekends. Interns should be able to swim and have a valid US drivers license. Many activities take place outside, and interns should be capable of handling some strenuous physical activity, and high heat and humidity.

Team Galaxy is a French and Canadian 2006 animated series. It ran for 52 episodes in 2 seasons. The story is about three young students living their own normal lives and training to become space marshals. The protagonists are Yoko, a wannabe pop singer, Brett, a serious Child Prodigy, and Josh, a rebellious and fun-loving adrenaline junkie. They attend Galaxy High (not to be confused with Galaxy High, a 1980s animated program)
It's made by the same company as Martin Mystery and Totally Spies!, which explains the Animesque style.
Not to be confused with Team Galactic.
- Brain in a Jar: In the episode "Brett's Brain", robots from the City Planet of Computopia sneak into his bedroom and replace their planet's old, faulty computer chip with... well... his brain.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Josh, Yoko and Brett have all undergone this or the milder brainwashed trope at some point as well as many of the supporting characters.
- Circus of Fear: Circus clowns kidnap humans for their performances at Season 1 finale.
- Cloning Blues: In one episode, Josh, Brett, and Yoko are cloned, but the personalities are mixed up to where the Josh clone is nerdy, the Brett clone is obsessive over his hair, and the Yoko clone is a daredevil.
- Criminal Amnesiac: Used on Josh along with the brainwashed trope in the "Psycho-Cycle" episode.
- Cross-Popping Veins: Happened to characters such as Brett in the episode "Emperor Brett" when Yoko and Josh teased him for being small.
- Evil Costume Switch: Josh during his brainwashed stint in the episode "Psycho-Cycle".
- Fake Muscles: In the Halloween episode "Trick or Treat", Brett's costume is that of a bodybuilder, the desired appearance accomplished by putting compressed C02 cartridges inside it.
- Fate Worse than Death: A video game system has a player that wins the game sucked in and forced to direct the game for eternity.
- Female Gaze: Josh, just Josh. Also Principal Kirkpatrick.
- Giftedly Bad: Yoko's singing is actually... well, horrible. The aliens like it, though, even though it makes humans cry out in pain.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Yoko. Doesn't stop her from going on. Though this only seems to apply to earthlings, all the other aliens love her singing. Especially ironic when one considers that her voice actress, Katie Griffin, is more than capable of carrying a tune and sings for the show's opening sequence.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Josh can sometimes act this way but if he does he always comes to the aid of the heroes in the end.
- Literal Maneater: Episode 29, "The Matchmaker", has Yoko unwittingly set up their teacher Mr. Spzoercliipw with an alien woman from a species who does this, forcing the team to need to save him. Fittingly enough, it turns out she's a shapeshifting Insectoid Alien who looks like a giant praying mantis in her true form.
- Mars Needs Water: "H2-Oh No!" featured an aquatic race stealing water from various planets due to the fact that the planet is in a system that has six suns, which constantly evaporate the planet's water supply.
- Mind-Control Device: In "Mr. 6025-A46", after the eponymous villain kidnaps one of Galaxy High's teachers, Mr. Fitch, and places himself as the substitute teacher, he gives each of his students necklaces with gold stars in them. When he has them build a giant robot as a class project, Mr. 6025-A46 activates the machine to brainwash them through the gold stars so he can take over Galaxy High.
- Mr. Fanservice: Again Josh
- Multiple Head Case: The alien girl from "Miss Cosmos" has her family growing on the back of her neck.
- Pardon My Klingon: Josh and Brett are supposed to be translating a text from an alien language into English in the episode "When Josh Attacks". Josh, who has been goofing off playing a video game on his computer connects his up to Brett's and steals his copy. Josh ends up taking all the credit. Brett, annoyed, tells Josh he has a word for him and speaks some strange, alien word. The whole class suddenly gains an expression of shock on their faces.
- Sand Necktie: The protagonists gets this treatment from some Plant Aliens. In this case, though, the aim doesn't seem to be any kind of torture, but the primitive aliens actually thinking the humans would... germinate and grow.
- Space Police: Galaxy High works both as a regular high school (albeit with aliens and Recycled In Space) and an intergalactic police department. They arrest dangerous criminals and other threats from both inside and out, and even has its own prison for said criminals.
- Team Pet: Fluffy the robotic Ultrapet, who pulls the protagonists out of precarious situations in multiple occasions.
- Weasel Mascot: Fluffy is a robotic ferret.

STEP 5: Design for the magento website
Let's see how it works
Design of the website is extremely important. We will work towards providing your website with the perfect feel, look and tone that will have a great sync with the objectives of the business. The website is the one that will establish your business as a brand. So, we will take utmost care to create a set of designs for each web page. This is the final stage in the development process when you consider the previous stages of drafting to having a live website.

Getting the right look
It definitely takes a lot to get noticed amidst fierce competition. It is just not easy to sell your service or product by drawing the clients your way and it is not sufficient to get their attention too. You should be able to sustain their interest in your website. So, the website has to speak out loud all for itself.
UI Design
It is at this stage where we will empathize with the user and think from the user's perspective. This viewpoint will help us to streamline each and every process. We can add call to action buttons whenever needed. When we do so, we can actually put an end to worries related to bounce rate and abandoned carts.
Layout of the page
As mentioned earlier, our Magento designer will create a mock web page for all the pages in your website and we will also integrate all the components that we have crafted into these mock pages. This is a wonderful opportunity to review all the ideas and plans and then only finalize the design before we actually get down to the process of development.
We keep client's satisfaction on our focal point. All that matters to us is your satisfaction. Thus, we try to deliver our best. We try to reinforce the best relationship with our clients. Anything dealing with Magento can be brought to us and sorted out in shortest possible time. Our numbers speak our quality and expertise.

And the best part? I've started cooking again.
Okay, this is not much cooking but The Boy really likes a cheese platter with cold meats for a late lunch. It has been our go-to on a hot afternoon (and it's been really hot here!!).
The platter usually consists of a few slices of cheese, some cured meat, either prosciutto or salami, some rock melon and most recently, the addition of freshly cooked and chilled prawns. With the prawns comes a need for a good cocktail sauce and The Boy has not liked the store bought ones, so I've started making my own.
This one is super simple to make and it will keep in the fridge for a while if you put it in an airtight jar.
Here's the recipe:
- 65g (1/4 cup) whole-egg mayonnaise
- 60ml (1/4 cup) tomato sauce
- 60ml (1/4 cup) thickened cream
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
- 5 drops doTerra lemon essential oil or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Combine mayonnaise,tomato sauce, cream, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce in a bowl. Season with pepper. Cover.
- Place in the fridge for 1 hour to develop the flavours.
You'll notice I've used some doTerra lemon essential oil in the sauce. I do this for two reasons. (1) It gives the sauce a nice zing to it, and (2) the essential oil blends well with the sauce and will not separate. It also means the sauce will keep better. Oh, that would be (3). :-)
Depending on how much zing you like in your sauce, you can adjust the number of drops of doTerra lemon essential oil and the Sriracha chili sauce. The recipe above gives a milder flavor but it's still tasty. We like a bit more zing, so I think I ended up using 2 tablespoons of Sriracha chili sauce and 10 drops of lemon essential oil.
You will notice I specify the doTerra essential oil. This is because the doTerra oils are very high quality and they are what I like to call food grade. You can ingest these oils and they are good for you. Not harmful at all. I would not do that with any other generic, run of the mill, no name essential oil. Even some that claim they are ingestible you should be careful of. The only other brand I can recommend you use is Young Living. I'm told their oils are ingestible too and I have a friend who uses them and loves them. I personally prefer the doTerra oils.
If you do not have the doTerra essential oil, you can also use fresh lemon juice. If you do that, be careful how much you use and perhaps start with half or one tablespoon and then add more to adjust to your taste. Again, how much lemon juice you use depends on how much zing you like in the taste of your sauce.
Good luck with making it. I hope you enjoy this sauce.
If you do make this, be sure to post pictures for me to see either on Instagram - be sure to tag me with @langshipley or on my Daz In The Kitchen Facebook page.

I've thought a lot about what drives me to create...what drives artists to push themselves so hard and give up so much of their mental/physical/financial resources with no promise or expectation of tangible reward. I put so, so much into something fully aware that not many people will experience it. Hell, I may be the only one to ever see/hear the finished project. And I fully accept those terms. And everything I do is still worth it to me.
Five years ago, we released our very first creative project online under the banner of Dual Tape Deck. It was a podcast. For a year, Stephanie Campbell and myself would record an episode every week and sit down with bands we liked and force them to play their songs live in front of us and talk about things we loved. We talked about the passion and drive of creative people and why we do what we do. That foundation of seeking out other creative types and collaborating and telling stories together is at the heart of everything we've done. And everything we've done since then would not have happened if not for Stephanie saying "Sure!" when I asked if she wanted to start this journey with me.
2013 was a banner year for Dual Tape Deck. We started producing scripted pieces. We bought a nicer camera. And we started reaching out to more and more creative folks in the Austin community. We met actors who introduced us to other actors who introduced us to sound guys who introduced us to cinematographers and so on and so on. Our circle of collaborators grew.
By my estimation, 89 different people have worked on Dual Tape Deck projects. 89. That's an insane number to me. That's 89 different people who said "yes" to my invitation to collaborate on a project. 89 different people who, for whatever reason, wanted to create something with us. 89 different people who, like me, are driven to create things and express themselves and tell these stories with us without any expectations attached. They do it because they HAVE to. Something, some intangible thing inside them drives them to do it.
I've written a couple long-winded paragraphs now, but I realize I'm unable to properly express what Dual Tape Deck means to me. We're artists, we encourage and enable each other, but more that anything else...we're friends. My best friends, in fact, are people I've randomly met from working with Dual Tape Deck. My favorite memories are being on set with these people.
Cassadie Petersen has been involved in every film project that Dual Tape Deck has done (which, if you're keeping a tally...is 3 feature films, 5 short films, and a web series). She's my creative partner and the best collaborator I've known. She makes up for my shortcomings as we're making films. There are many, many things that I'm not good at. Tons. But she naturally excels at them. It's effortless for her. Everything that we've accomplished as Dual Tape Deck would not have been possible without her.
Matthew David Rudd has been a part of us for over 2 years now, and I can't imagine doing any of this without him. He's a voice of reason and a great problem solver. When I'm all out of ideas and frustrated and ready to give up...he's there to offer a solution, to encourage me, and give me (and everyone around him) a much needed laugh.
There are many, many more people that I could talk about. I could talk about how much of a mentor Christopher Kim has been to me and how much I've learned from him as a storyteller. I could go on about how Saige Michelle Hilton is literally always available for even the smallest part and is incredibly positive throughout the whole process. Or about Brian Villalobos and how much he inflates my ego when he (an actor I greatly respect and was a fan of before we met) compliments my writing. Or Lisa Marie Mejia and her organization that kept me sane filming our first big feature film. Or Jordan Taylor and how her acting as brought me to tears in the edit bay.
I could write for days about all these people. But just know that Dual Tape Deck and the community we've built together is probably my greatest artistic endeavor. I love all of you so much.
So happy birthday! Here's to five more years of love and life and creating together.
-Randall LaRue (11/12/2016)

"planting and growing urban churches"
Mark Junkans
"First, as misssion leaders, we have failed to foresee both the urban growth and the fact that most of the urban growth will be in squatter areas." (158)
Secondly, some missions have made a deliberate strategy to go for the rich, believing in a sort of religious "trickle-down" theory." "The Gospel trickes up. Any man or woman who would follow Jesus to walk among the poor will affect countless among the middle and rich classes." (159)

Howdy (まいどくん, Maido-kun, Spanish "Bromitas") is a lower-class, joke-loving hamster. He has a rather quirky sense of humour and a strong friendship/rivalry relationship with Dexter, mostly competing with him to win the heart of Pashmina. He is a tidy, hard-working wise-cracker, who has an innate gift for financial matters. Never without his shop apron, he can spruce up a room in minutes and not miss a chance to amuse others with one-liners along the way.
Owned by Goldie. He speaks with a Kansai dialect in the Japanese version and with a Southern American accent in the English version. He and Dexter are long-time best friends but often fight with each other over the affections of Pashmina, whom they both have a crush on.
In Hannah is in Love! he is shown to be good friends with Hannah. This is most likely because they were said by Howdy himself to have been friends since childhood.
Howdy lives in a convenience store with his owner, Goldie Houston, and Zack Houston. They also have a bird named Tattles. Howdy is seen pulling out trusty objects for whatever need, notably a broom and an abacus. These aren't really ever shown post-season four. Howdy is never seen with his eyes open.
Howdy is known for cracking terrible jokes and puns whenever he gets the chance. Ironically, most of the few times he is laughed at is when he isn't trying to be funny (and the Ham-Hams take it as a joke instead). Dexter is always the one who scolds Howdy for his jokes, probably to poke at him due to their rivalry.
Howdy and Dexter are frienemies. They fight over Pashmina, over Howdy's "bad jokes", and they sometimes fight for no apparent reason. Dexter can be petty about scolding Howdy. They are still friends, however, as shown in The Reconciliation! and We Are the Best of Friends! and make sure to protect each other if either is in trouble. Their owners, Goldie and Curtis, reflect their friendship, fighting sometimes for the sake of rivalry, but at the end of the day are still best friends. They are also neighbours.
Howdy's long time friend from the south. In her debut episode, Hannah is in Love! she seems more interested in the "sophisticated" Dexter than in Howdy, and even uses Howdy to find out if Dexter feels the same way about her.
Howdy as well as Dexter are constantly fighting to win Pashmina's heart. She usually ignores them or just doesn't notice. When she does, she seems irritated by their arguing. Bluntly put, Pashmina just doesn't like either of them back. Yet they still continue to fight. The battle for Pashmina seems to stop completely post-season four, strangely enough.
Notable Episodes
- Pashmina's Present (#22)
- Watching Over Cute Penelope (#34)
- It's Robin-Ham! (#52)
- The Reconciliation! (#64)
- The Little Bandits! (#78)
- Autumn, Mom's Style (#124)
- My Best Friend (#248)
- A Picnic Date! (#294)
- Howdy's Japanese name "Maido" means "Hello!" or "Welcome!" in the Kansai dialect, which Howdy is known for speaking within the original dub.

"Why do I even need a Pinterest?"
Because images rule.
They are an easy way to communicate your message to followers in a way they actually remember. It makes your marketing more interesting and exciting for potential clients/customers. And it gives you another avenue to get higher search engine rankings. The platform is unlike any other and takes some adjustment, but once you know the rules and strategies, you can add Pinterest to your marketing scheme.
- Don't just add your content. Repin other's stuff too.
- Follow users who can provide high quality content for your page and that meet your brand goals and expectations.
- Make the images you pin or repin high resolution. No watermarks allowed.
- Organize your content into specific categories using the boards feature. You can be REALLY specific. This helps users easily navigate through your content.
- When you link images you pin, make sure followers are taken to the exact content your image is about. If you pin a recipe using the barbecue sauce your company makes, take them to the recipe, not the homepage of the company website. This will frustrate users and cause them to tell on you to the Pinterest gods.
- Speaking of tattle telling, you need to start doing it. Report broken links, spam posts, or images that are not appropriate. This helps keep Pinterest a good, usable platform for your marketing plan.
- Advertise. Put a Pinterest button on your website. Talk about your Pinterest account on other social media profiles. Link to photos on your Pinterest on all accounts. Let your followers know you are on Pinterest so they can interact with you.
