At City Center Credit Union we offer several types of loans. If you don't find the loan you are looking for here, please give us a call at (801)374-5856 or contact us here.
ATV/Motorcycle Loans: Looking for some winter or summer fun? Let us help. We can even finance motor homes for as long as 120 months.
Mortgage & Real Estate Loans: We offer many types of real estate loans, including home equity lines of credit (the balance is revolving & can be used over & over again), home equity loans, as well as mortgage loans for the purchase or refinance of personal, & investment properties. We will even finance land or developed lots. We have many options, even for commercial property. Fees and certain restrictions do apply. If you have a question, please do not assume we will or will not finance a particular type of real estate loan. Give us a call and we can discuss it.
Share Secured loan: You pledge the shares and we make the loan secured by your shares at 2.5% above whatever you are earning on the share account.
Signature/Unsecured loans: With a strong enough credit score and stable employment, we can grant an unsecured loan up to $6,500. Because of the economy and a recent trend of bankruptcies, we have had to raise the bar, so to speak, on unsecured loans. We still offer them, but we prefer to make loans secured with even an older vehicle or other collateral.
Credit Builder/Credit Repair Loans: We make loans to help you build your credit or repair damaged credit. We loan you the money but stick it into a share account. You make monthly payments out of pocket. After a year's period, you have a good-reporting account to the credit bureau, as well as a savings account with a balance in it that is yours to keep. What a fantastic way to build your credit and save money at the same time.

There's been a theme to my two most recent road trips - namely rain and the effects of rain on travel plans. My Saturday-Sunday trip to Council Grove and Eureka was cut to half a day because of heavy rains. On Monday I headed toward Riley County with a goal of getting some late afternoon photos including sunset in the Konza Prairie Preserve. The preserve trails were closed, however, due to wet conditions. I redirected my itinerary, which turned out well, spending more time than expected in Marysville and Blue Rapids, both north of Manhattan in Marshall County.
Marysville, Kansas - Pony Express City
Pony Express Monument ~ One of the more romanticized episodes of the settling of the American West was the story of the Pony Express, immortalized in verse, art, song, and film. The image we have of those brave young fellows galloping across the prairie is stirring stuff, and pretty much right on. It was demanding and often dangerous work. We sometimes fail to realize the business side of the venture was not entirely successful, failing to land the hoped-for government subsidy (yes, even in 1859) until it was too late. By then the transcontinental telegraph line had been completed.
Pony Express Station ~ The 1859 native-stone stable shown above is the only original Pony Express home station standing on its original site. These home stations were located at 40 to 50 mile intervals along the Missouri-California route. At this Marysville station, the young riders relayed pouches of valuable mail to the next section rider, then rested while awaiting the next delivery in the opposite direction. In addition to the stable and blacksmith shop, the building houses a museum of Pony Express and Marshall County memorabilia.
Black Squirrels ~ Black squirrels are very important to the citizens of Marysville, sort of an unofficial mascot, and are given the right of way all over town. Why? These rare black rodents, cute but nonetheless rodents, are not native to the plains states. The story goes that in 1912, a young prankster "liberated" a pair from the display cage of a visiting carnival, and the squirrels were never recaptured. The descendants can be seen today, especially in the city park, but I saw several others in older parts of town with big trees.
Dual Main Streets ~ Like most towns in the midwest, Marysville has a mix of beautifully restored or maintained Victorian business buildings and those which were re-fronted in the 1950s and 60s with tasteless faux-modern facades. What Marysville has that has far more unusual is parallel Main Streets. The block between the two is only as deep as one building. This oddity dates to the pre-Civil War days of Bleeding Kansas, when pro-slavery and abolitionist forces struggled to dominate the state. Businesses found it smarter and safer to establish separate entrances for Southern sympathizers and free-staters.
Historic Courthouse Museum ~ My first view of this stately courthouse was in the warm light of late afternoon sun which made the view of this red-bricked building even more striking. I got off a couple of shots, but unfortunately did not get back to visit the museum and historic courtroom. According to my copy of "Kansas Guidebook for Explorers," I missed some interesting sights and exhibits dedicated to Marshall County towns (including the ghost towns), local military heroes, and Native Americans.
Koester House Museum ~ Built in 1876 by one of Marysville's first bankers, this showplace home is now a museum offering guided tours. The Koester House is but one of several magnificent homes in the area placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Historic Trails Park ~ Eight important and historic trails passed through this vicinity:
- Oregon Trail,
- Pony Express,
- Mormon Trail,
- Overland Trail,
- Military Trail,
- Otoe-Missouria Trail,
- St. Joseph-California Trail, and
- Pike's Peak-California Trail.
1914 Round Barn ~ In 1914 the owners of this farm southwest of Marysville ordered a barn, by mail order one assumes. Many say the barn was from Sears and Roebuck, although there is nothing in the barn today to prove (or disprove) that. It was shipped as a kit by rail to the Marysville area, then assembled on this spot. The current owners of this farm (whose name escapes me) have faithfully maintained this barn and updated the classic prairie farmhouse on the property as well. The barn is known as the Lewis Rowe barn, probably a reference to the original owners.
Arched Stone Bridge ~ West River Road Drive (the one that goes to the round barn), is a gravel road through hilly, wooded landscape. Few drivers happen to notice several very old stone, arched bridges along the way. I had read of these bridges beforehand in a guidebook and was watching for them, but still only spied this one - and I almost missed it! Looking at this photo you can see why.
Blue Rapids - Where the Town Square Is Round
No, there are no Blue Rapids here. I was told there used to be rapids on the Blue River but they were the result of a dam which no longer exists. And yes, as you can see by looking at the photo above, the town square is round. Kind of like a huge traffic round-about, except this one has businesses and parking around it. And a police station in the middle. Nancy and I have a fond memory of Blue Rapids; it was at a farm/rescue shelter near here that we adopted Melody, our loving Shetland Sheepdog. On this trip I was to visit sites of historic interest, however. Blue Rapids, a town of about 1300 residents, sits near the Big Blue River and has several significant sites.
Alcove Spring is certainly the most notable of the local sites on the route of the Oregon Trail. Located near the Independence Crossing, where travelers crossed the Big Blue, this spring with adjacent woodlands and meadows, provided a key campground before attempting the crossing.
Emigrants on the trail destined for Oregon wrote of this spot's beauty and serenity. A few contemplated ending their journey here, only six days after crossing into Kansas Territory. Some groups, including the ill-fated and infamous Donner-Reed Party, camped here for several days after rains swelled the nearby Big Blue River beyond its banks making it impassable. But eventually they moved on. Settlement would not come to the region for several more years.
Little is left from those visitors. A few travelers carved names and dates into rocks and trees. One 70 year woman in the Donner party, Sarah Keys, died of illness while camped here and was buried. Her actual burial site is not known, but a Daughters of the American Revolution monument honors her memory. There is little to see here in the way of relics or artifacts - other than wagon ruts (known as swales) still visible in some spots. But it is interesting and worthwhile to view the location, and to better understand the rigors of the westward march. It is also a beautiful area - especially in springtime when the wildflowers are in bloom and spring water is flowing over the ledge.
Holm Cabin ~ Back in town, there is more of interest on the round square, beginning with the Holm Cabin, built in 1876 by Swedish immigrants and moved to this location in 1996.
Oldest Library ~ Also on the town square is the public library, built in 1876 of native limestone. It is the oldest library building west of the Mississippi River in continuous use, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Old Bank ~ Kudos to the State Bank of Blue Rapids. This family-owned bank has occupied this native limestone building since 1870, and has maintained the architectural and aesthetic integrity of this stately structure.
Round Barn ~ Here's another interesting old, round barn, located east of Blue Rapids on K-9 Highway. This one was built in 1913, and as can be seen here, is quite sizable.
I stumbled into this little hometown cafe, quite literally, causing locals to smile at the clumsy out-of-towner with the fancy camera. No problem, I was laughing at myself. While listening to other customers discuss the situation of wet fields delaying the wheat harvest, but allowing the corn to grow like crazy, I scarfed down a hearty hot roast beef sandwich, made from real pot roast and real (not instant) mashed potatoes. Then I looked at the chalkboard menu again and saw sour cream raisin pie listed, and learned that it was made at home by my waitress' mom. Diet or not, I was defenseless from this temptation. Rich, creamy, heavenly!!!
Bonus Coverage - Westmoreland, Kansas
I stopped in Westmoreland briefly en route to the I-70 interchange and the drive home. Here are a few photos and key tidbits:
Scott Springs Oregon Trail Park ~ Hundreds of thousands of westward bound pioneers camped here by the springs. This sculpture commemorates the site. Located half mile south of town on K-99 Highway.
Pottawatomie County Courthouse ~ Erected in 1884 of native limestone.
Old Stone Church ~ Built by German Evangelical Association in 1888 of native stone; now part of Westmoreland's Rock Creek Historical Society Museum complex.
Classic Church Building ~ White clapboard church building, looks like it belongs in a Norman Rockwell illustration.
Main Street Mercantile ~ quaint old business building, one of a couple of antique or gift shops in Westmoreland.
... and that's the way it was. hope you
enjoyed traveling along, and come back
for the next road trip with me. Bye!!

Our Thoughts
Welcome to our blog, where we comment on a wide variety of topics. Some of them relate to our line of work. Others are more far ranging.
By Jim Rhodes
So there I was in the crowded airport cocktail lounge. I plopped down in one of the few empty chairs, glanced at emails in Mr. BlackBerry and settled down to nurse a glass of beer.
That was when I noticed the man sitting next to me. He was wearing khaki shorts, a rumpled khaki shirt, white socks and jungle boots. A pith helmet sat on the table next to him. He was watching me.
"You in marketing?" he asked suddenly. I nodded in a way that I hoped would discourage conversation. He was not deterred.
"I thought so," he said.
He leaned back, took a deep draught from his beer, and said, "I am an S.H.I.T. specialist."
My first instinct was to observe that we were in the same line of work, since I am in the PR business, but I thought better of it. "A what?"
He slid a business card across the table. "Dr. Alfredo J. Pompadour, Shampoo Herbal Ingredients Technologist." The address was "Shampoo Herbal Ingredients Technology Testing, Investigation and Evaluation (S.H.I.T.T.I.E.) Laboratory with the name of a well-known company which I will not reveal.
"Call me Fred. My job is to seek out and study ingredients for hair products," he said.
He was just returning from Tahiti, he said, and was flying on to Stockholm then to Paris, Istanbul and Tokyo.
"You've noticed all the exotic ingredients on the labels of shampoo bottles, I presume?"
I nodded.
"Well I'm the guy that goes out and gets them."
We both took a swig of beer.
"I've just finished up a little R&D program with oil extracts from Tahitian vanilla beans – excellent potential there. And I'm looking to create a mixture with extracts of Juniper from a forest near the Arctic Circle, sea kelp from the Black Sea and French lavender fresh from the fields of Provence. And for extra measure, a dollop of silk amino proteins from a plantation on one of the out islands of Japan."
"So let me guess, you're looking for something that's silky, smooth, gentle and will make one's hair more interesting to the opposite sex. Right?"
"I knew you were in marketing," he said. "I work closely with the marketing department, of course. They tell me they want a new product with a little more silkiness, more smoothness, softer, less splitting, fewer tangles, gentler waves and a scent of orange blossoms, so I hit the road to gather samples and bring them back to the lab."
"For testing?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Not to worry. We do our testing in environmentally acceptable ways without using any live animals." He sighed and sipped at his beer. "In the good old days, we could just round up some stray cats and lather them up with this stuff, measure hair growth, splitting, curliness and other factors, then run metrics for the marketing department before moving into production."
"So what do you use now?"
"Human hair wigs."
"Isn't that expensive?"
"No, we buy them in bulk. And I get a special discount, since I'm a member of the club."
"The hair club? You mean that's a wig on the top of your head? Looks natural."
"Yes, my own hair all fell out years ago when I came down with Denge Fever in the rainforests of Malaya searching for a rare bamboo oil extract."
We paused to finish our beers.
I broke the silence. "So, Fred, I have a question. I've always wanted to know just exactly what is shea butter? I see it on the labels of all my wife's shampoo containers in the shower."
"Shea butter. Ah yes, you mean Butyrspermum Parkil. Wonderful stuff. It's a chemical we mixed up in the lab. We called it B.P. for short, but the marketing guys objected. Said it would remind consumers of leaking oil wells. I was the one who came up with the name. Sounds like an Irish condiment. Butter connotes smoothness. You think I might have a career in marketing?"
"Could be."
I was on the verge of asking another question that I've wondered about for years, but at that moment his flight to Stockholm was called, and he shuffled off with his duffle bag and pith helmet, leaving my curiosity unhappily unfulfilled. I suppose I'll never know what a volumizing shampoo is.
I had another beer.
Disclaimer: The author wishes to state that this is a work of fiction, which came to him in a dream, induced no doubt by an overindulgence in a medicinal substance bearing an uncommon resemblance to a single malt whiskey. To the author's knowledge, Dr. Pompadour does not exist, and any resemblance to a real person, however improbable, is totally accidental. One thing is true. The names of the ingredients actually came from shampoo bottles collected in hotel bathrooms. Nobody could make that up.

Picture: Scott Weiland and son Noah The Launch Party of the T-Mobile Sidekick LX Tony Hawk Edition - Arrivals Hollywood, California - 01.08.08
Rocker Scott Weiland insists there are no hard feelings between him and his Stone Temple Pilots replacement Chester Bennington, because he's convinced the Linkin Park star did not act spitefully when he stepped up to front the band.
Bennington stunned fans when he hit the stage with Stp for a radio concert in California in May (13) and now he has become a semi-permanent member of the group and plans to tour with the DeLeo brothers later this year (13), while honouring his Linkin Park commitments at the same time.
Weiland, whose firing left a vacancy for his rock peer, is at war with his former bandmates, but, as he prepares to hit the stage with his new group at the Hollywood music festival Bennington and Linkin Park are headlining this weekend (02-04Aug13), he wants to make it clear that he's not upset with his replacement.
He tells Billboard.com, "I've known Chester for a long time. I got to be pretty close with him on the (2001) Family Values Tour...
"I don't think Chester did it in a spiteful way. The brothers DeLeo can be pretty persuasive... I guess nothing is totally shocking, but... I don't think it was smart for them to do that. I'm surprised they did what they did without checking the legality of it, how they just decided to go and use the name and go and hire another singer and start playing shows with a name that I still am an owner of."
The DeLeo brothers and Weiland, who is now touring with his band the Wildabouts, have filed lawsuits against each other.
Bob Forrest was at the height of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll era...

Join Seán Duggan for an in-depth discussion in this video Determining maximum resolution, part of Creating Photo Composites on Smartphones and Tablets.
- Your camera phone is designed to capture images at a specific resolution, but not all apps are created equal when it comes to the resolution that they support. If you use other camera apps to capture photos, you may end up inadvertently capturing an image at a lower resolution than your camera is capable of. Or, after you've edited images in an app, you could be unknowingly saving the file at a lower resolution, simply because that may be the default setting in the app or, as is the case with some apps, it may not have the ability to save the file at the original resolution.
This may not be an issue for screen display, or mobile devices or on the computer but, if you want to make prints, then it definitely could be an issue. Let's take a look at this. The first thing to check is what the maximum resolution is, in an app's technical specifications, before you make the purchase. You can usually find this in the details about the app, on the app store. For instance, Juxtaposer can export composites at the full resolution of the background image that you're using in your composite even if that's as large as 40 megapixels.
Unfortunately, some apps make this information hard to find, or state it in terms that may be a bit vague. Distressed FX is a really interesting app that creates some very cool texture effects, but in its specifications it doesn't clearly state what pixel resolution is supported. Instead, it states, "Pictures are printable "at 26 centimeters by 26 centimeters at 200 dpi." That translates to 2047 by 2047 pixels as the maximum resolution that can be saved when using that app.
This is due to the fact that the app only exports square-format images and that's also probably the size of the texture files that it uses, but my iPhone can currently capture images at a higher resolution. Somes apps may have paid and free versions. Free versions are much more likely to have a resolution limit, so just be on the lookout for that. Once you've installed the app, make sure that you investigate all the preferences and settings to see if there are options for choosing the resolution. Hipstamatic is a really popular camera app, but its side switch on the front of the lens is easy to accidentally change to a lower resolution and its also easy to miss once you have accidentally changed it.
Some apps give you a resolution choice as you open an image, while others give you this choice when you go to save the file. In Photoshop Touch, the resolution is determined at the import stage, so you need to double-check this before you begin working, to ensure that you can work with the full-size images that your phone captures. Other apps may not have a choice and always import and export at whatever the original size was. Resolution settings in apps are not an issue if your images will always be viewed on digital devices, but if you ever want to make prints of your images, then resolution becomes a very important factor.
Discovering, after the fact, that all of the images in a series were accidentally captured at the lowest possible resolution can be very disappointing if you're trying to make larger prints. So, do your research and make sure that the apps that you purchase can support the original resolution of your phone.

Venezuelan Constitutional ReformAdd to Lightbox Download
Pastora Escobar(left) , Jesus Gonzalez and others discuss the upcoming referendum behind a small store in Coche, a poor area in southwest caracas. Polls show that the referendum on Chavez's constitutional reform is very close and could go either way. The reform, whch would eliminate presidential term limits and put the Central Bank in the hands of the government, also aims to give pensions to street vendors and housewives and shorten the work day to 6 hours.

January 1, 2013
blank slate,
a fresh start,
a mind reset...
but not really.
I learned long ago (about myself anyway) that I was not one of those unique individuals (I hear, they do exist out there somewhere) who can make those New Year's resolutions and actually stick to them. So, I resolved one thing: Not to make any resolutions. But, alas, I cannot stick even to that one since I pause each year around this time and think about them. So, what crosses my mind this year is a list of many typical things. Lose weight (started once again two days ago), exercise more (still thinking on this one), stress out less (taking an extra week off of work... can do that when you are your own boss... just realize that you will make no income during that extra week), connect with friends, be more consistent in "EVERYTHING" (that's one of the problem with resolutions: they are usually too vague)...
So my resolution today (that breaks my resolution not to make any): Take each day as it comes to me and do what I can with it.
What does this mean for me? Putting aside expectations of "perfect days". Realizing that "some days are just horrible, no good, very bad days": some days are just like that. Releasing myself from a standard of perfectionism. Accepting that I will not be my best self everyday: cut myself some slack on those days.
I resolve to: Accept each day as a gift from God. Open it without expectations of grandeur. See what it holds. Wonder at what lessons will emerge from it whether they be pleasant lessons or painful lessons. Understand that nothing is wasted if I learn from it.

Telstra has fired the latest volley in the telco price war for international roaming.
Telstra today revealed international roaming "travel passes" that provide unlimited calls and SMS to and from standard numbers, plus what is effectively 50MB data per day, while the customer is abroad in one of 40 popular holiday destinations.
The passes are available starting today for post-paid consumer and small business customers.
Pricing varies depending on which of two zones the country falls under. Zone 1 is cheaper and includes New Zealand, Thailand and Indonesia. Zone 2 includes the US and Canada plus selected destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Pacific Islands, the Middle East, South America and the UK.
Customers can buy travel passes for three, seven, 14 or 30 days, and customers can buy multiple passes, Telstra said. Passes can also be used across multiple destinations if they are in the same zone.
While customers cannot buy passes in single-day increments, in effect Zone 1 passes cost $5 per day, while Zone 2 pricing is $10 per day. Users who exceed their data limits during the travel pass period are charged 3 cents per MB.
"Our customers told us that they wanted better value international roaming options and pricing that is easier to understand," said Telstra mobile director, Scott McGibbony.
Optus and Vodafone introduced daily international roaming plans late last year.
The Telstra plan more closely follows the Optus plan. Optus has divided 182 covered countries into zones and provides unlimited calling and SMS, but it only includes 30MB of data per day.

If you have been contemplating extending your living space, your thoughts are headed in the right direction. Extending your living space not only allows you to enjoy a more comfortable environment but it also enables you to avoid the costs of moving house. These costs can end up being exorbitant. Therefore, a move can become more of a burden than a living improvement.
Types of Home Renovations
Usually, when a home renovation unfolds, it materialises into an extension, first-floor addition, or simply the conversion of a loft or renovation of a room. Therefore, when making a choice for a builder, you need to make sure that the contractor specialises in the type of building project in which you are interested.
For instance, a builder that specialises in home extensions has the experience needed to look for any problems up front. He or she will also know how to estimate the construction expenses that will be involved. That way, you can invest just the right amount of money in your home building improvement.
Experience Counts
When a contractor specialises in certain construction projects, he or she also knows the exact equipment to use and how to remove any debris. Experience counts and so does a builder's dedication to a construction specialty.
Follow a Guide for Direction
That is why a home renovation guide in Sydney, if offered by a builder, can assist you in making a decision for a builder or making a home improvement. Use such a guide to help you plan for your extension or refurbishment.
For instance, a guide can help you see the wisdom of keeping your design within your allocated budget. You need to obtain a design sketch that will suit your budget during the early phase of planning. That way, you can refine any details or modifications around the original design. By taking this approach, you will better know what to anticipate.
What Are the Builder's Credentials?
You also want to do a thorough check of your builder's credentials. That means asking the builder to provide the addresses of at least three or four recent projects that he or she has completed. It is also helpful to contact certain building associations, such as the Housing Industry Association (HIA) or the Master Builders Association (MBA). Call the Department of Fair Trading as well to enquire about a builder's licence and ask if any complaints have been made against the company.
Choose a Specialist
When planning an extension too, it is important to use the services of a design and construct builder. That way, you can take your project from beginning to end and stay within your planned budget. Allow a builder that is a specialist to coordinate all the aspects of your building project.

BuyGreen: Laptop Computers
The greenest notebook computer is the one you have and keep using, but that can be tough; people say that notebook computers are the greenest because they sip electricity; it's true that they use less power than a desktop but you still have to choose carefully; there are a lot of other factors to consider as well. Notebooks are harder to fix and really hard to upgrade; where a desktop can be taken apart for recycling easily, a notebook often just gets thrown away. Being portable, they get dropped, spilled on and banged about, so you not only have to think about what it is made of, but how solid is it and how good is its service.
As in desktops, processor speed fades into irrelevance with most current machines; almost any unit out there will run most tasks that people do on notebooks. The upgrade cycle on hardware now is also much longer than it used to be, because the new machines do not perform significantly better on most of the common tasks that people use their computers for. So which are the greenest notebooks out there? The best way to tell is by it's EPEAT score -- "a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of products, and provides an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its products." But that is new, and manufacturers are being quiet about it.
What: XO Laptop (the computer formerly known as the $100 Laptop)
Where: One Laptop Per Child
Why: It's not just a computer, it's a community; "a unique harmony of form and function; a flexible, ultra-low-cost, power-efficient, responsive, and durable machine with which nations of the emerging world can leapfrog decades of development."
How much: 2 for $ 400, one for you and one for a kid who needs it.
Nice touch: Too many for our servers to store. Pull a cord to charge it; create instant wifi networks with everyone around you; filled with open source software; cute as a button. It doesn't get any greener than this.
More: One Laptop Per Child and TreeHugger
What: Toshiba Portégé R500
Where: Toshiba Direct
Why: Under two pounds with a solid state hard drive so that there are no moving parts.
How much: $ 2,000
Nice touch: It should last a long time but it is also EPEAT Gold, so it will recycle nicely.
Not Nice: No Wifi built in. Evidently they were trying to be so green that they thought they would minimize exposure to radiation, which limits its utility.
More: Toshiba and Treehugger
What: Asus eee
Where: Asus, eBay
Why: It's tiny, it's cheap, it's all solid state, it's loaded. What more do you need?
How much: $399
Nice touch: Under two pounds, the size of a paperback book, wifi built in, this may be the perfect mix of portability and price. Our bet is that this will be huge, with all kinds of aftermarket software being written for it. This could be the palm pilot of the decade.
More: Asus and Treehugger; the review at Laptop Solutions scores it well: "Pound for pound, the best value-priced notebook on the planet."
What: Dell D630
Where: Dell.com
Why: It is EPEAT Gold, 21 points but you would never know from Dell's website, they don't even acknowledge the fact.
How much: $ 2100, it is a business machine.
Nice touch: Can't see many other than it meets the gold standard for green electronics. As a Dell business-grade machine it will be solid and stolid.
More: Dell.com
What: Apple MacBook Pro
Where: Apple Store
Why: Because no detail is too minor, because they are beautiful, because whenever I go anywhere with a lot of young, creative people, they all use Apples. Because it is EPEAT silver.
How much: Starts at $1999
Nice touch: Don't know where to start. New fast video card is a boost if you do any CAD or animations; last one was too slow. Good recycling program.

Caitlin Rother, one of my all-time favorite authors, returns to Colloquium today to further discuss the "shorts" she previewed when she was my guest earlier this year.
Caitlin is a New York Times best-selling author of ten true crime novels, including Lost Girls, Poisoned Love, Dead Reckoning (an updated version of which will be available in September 2016), and her most recent, Then No One Can Have Her. Additionally, she penned A Complicated Woman, the first of three entries in Greg Olson's Notorious USA series. The two remaining volumes are now available and I will be reviewing both soon!
Quick True Crime Summer Reads
I was looking for a new challenge and a new way to reach readers, so I teamed up with New York Times best-selling true crime author Gregg Olsen to publish three Kindle e-book "shorts" on Amazon as part of his best-selling Notorious USA series.
He told me to pick three contiguous states, and said I could write about any murder cases that happened throughout history in that state. I chose South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Each story I wrote is the length of an in-depth magazine feature article, and each "short" contains several stories.
What followed was a six-month period of total freedom as I searched through the years and years of murder cases, looking to see what information was available on historic and current cases that interested me and that I thought would interest my readers. Here are some I came up with, in case any of the killers sound familiar: Sue Logue, Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, Jr., Dylann Storm Roof, Jim Sullivan, Sean Trevor Doutre, Robert Spearman, Richard Savage, Kelly Gissendaner, Valessa Robinson, Courtney Schulhoff, Catherine Pileggi and Melissa Webb.
I'll start with the cases I selected from Florida, the Sunshine state with a darker side than most. The mecca for wealthy retirees to enjoy their younger girlfriends, yachts and marble-floored mansions, where recreational drugs, sex and booze flow like the warm water that hugs the coast. Where teenage girls and their boyfriends kill their parents in the name of love, and women shoot their boyfriends then claim self-defense. The vacation destination that is home to Disney World and miles of beaches, yet also has more killers on its death row than any other state but California.
This compilation titled, Kill Him Some More, pairs two sets of cases with similar circumstances but very different outcomes. In the first story, former flight attendant Catherine Pileggi murders her multimillionaire boyfriend of eighteen years, Ronald Vinci, using a gun, a knife, a hammer (and possibly poisoned his gin as well), claiming he was abusive for years and put a loaded gun to her head. The cover features all the tools she used to end his life, an act she claimed was in self-defense.
In the second story, Melissa Webb, a woman with a history of violent, drug-addicted boyfriends, kills her latest lover after only a few weeks together, alleging that he forced a gun into her mouth in a drug-induced rage. I picked this case, which got almost no media attention, because Webb, unlike Pileggi, got life in prison without the chance for parole for killing a man she hardly knew. Once I looked into the evidence, I came to believe that the jury did not get to hear all of the pertinent facts before it convicted her.
In the third story, 15-year-old Valessa Robinson falls in love and wants to have a baby with a boyfriend who is four years older. Her mother, who wants to end the relationship, ends dead after being stabbed, choked, and injected with a syringe loaded with bleach.
And in the last story, 16-year-old Courtney Schulhoff and her 20-year-old boyfriend conspire to fatally bludgeon her disapproving father with a baseball bat. Part of the reason I picked these cases of teen matricide and patricide is because Courtney got life without the possibility of parole, while Valessa is already out of prison.
Next up is the compilation titled, Dead on Delivery, which includes the cases I picked from Georgia, where the all-mighty dollar trumps mercy and lawfulness on an all-too-regular basis. Where hit men can be hired for small sums and lovers can be manipulated into killing innocent people, all out of greed.
This cover features a bouquet of long-stemmed pink roses, just like the one that socialite Lita Sullivan was holding when the flower delivery man pulled out a gun and shot her in her foyer. At the time Lita was going through a divorce from her multimillionaire adulterous husband, Jim Sullivan, who hired the hitman to kill his wife so he didn't have to pay her anything in their divorce battle. The shooter managed to evade authorities for more than a decade. Jim, told that he would be arrested next, took off for parts unknown and became an international fugitive. When the FBI and local police finally captured him in Thailand, he and his fourth were living in a nice condo near the beach. He spent more than a year in a Thai prison, where he developed gout in both feet, and could not wear shoes. After losing his extradition fight, the FBI flew him back to Atlanta, and when he stepped off the plane, he was wearing only one open-toed sandal.
In the second story, a crooked businessman trying to go straight is shot in his driveway by a hitman, Sean Trevor Doutre, who is wearing a ski mask and camouflage gear. This is one in a nationwide series of contract-for-hire murders that were advertised in the classified-ad pages of Soldier of Fortune magazine. The series of killings also included the murder of Anita Spearman by her cheating husband Robert in Florida.
And in the third story, a Gulf War veteran and father of three is kidnapped, beaten and stabbed by the lover of his on-and-off-again wife, Kelly Gissendaner, who wants to collect life insurance benefits and pay off her house. The lover makes a deal for a life sentence and a chance at parole, while Gissendaner gets the death penalty. She becomes the second woman ever to be executed in Georgia, even after the Pope, other faith-based advocates and two of her children fight for her clemency, citing her dramatic repentance and rehabilitation through religion.
Finally, in the compilation titled, A Complicated Woman, I offer you three cases from South Carolina, the former Confederate state where racial strife and righteous, heavily-armed indignation leads to murder. I've written about this compilation on this blog before, but just to review, this one includes one current and two historic cases.
Featured on the cover is a 70-year-old prison booking photo of Sue Logue, the first woman in South Carolina to go to the electric chair after hiring a hitman to kill her neighbor in a feud over a dead calf. She has one last tryst with her old lover, the late U. S. Senator Strom Thurmond, on her way to the death house. (This was before he was elected to Congress.)
This "short" also tells the story of prolific serial killer Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, Jr., who killed at least 14 people—including the inmate he blew up in the cell next to him on death row—using explosives he managed to have smuggled into prison.
The third story is about alleged church killer Dylann Storm Roof, the young white man accused of trying to incite a race war by fatally shooting nine African-Americans during Bible study in a historic church in Charleston. Roof, who is still awaiting trial in both the state and federal courts, said he'd intended to plead guilty to the murders until prosecutors announced they were seeking the death penalty.
This was my first time writing about historic cases, and it proved to be quite enjoyable – and quite educational as well – as I discovered new sources of information, such as the death penalty archives in South Carolina, and called on some tried and true sources to help me tell these stories.
It was also fun to offer ideas for cover images and to see them come to life, not to mention the immediate gratification of posting the image and the e-pub file online, and watching it go on sale within a matter of hours. It's been quite addictive.
If you decide you want to buy all 10 stories from the three states at once, they are available in a box set collection titled, Love Gone Wrong, which is almost the length of a regular book. All you have to do is go to my page on Amazon and download one or all of them onto your Kindle or with your Kindle app on another device.
If you would like an autographed hard copy, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will get one to you once they are published. They won't be available in bookstores.
Thanks again to Janie for the invitation to talk about what I'm working on, and to all of you, happy reading!
Meet Caitlin
Caitlin Rother was an only child who entertained herself "by reading stacks upon stacks of books and using my mind as a stage where characters talked to each other." She holds a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley and earned her master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. In high school and college, she explored journalism, but opted for a career in public relations with a San Francisco cruise line. Eventually, though, she was compelled to choose the "balance and objectivity of newspapers over the positive spin world of PR, marketing and advertising, . . . "
It was not until the late 1980s that she joined a writing workshop in Northampton, Massachusetts, in her quest to write more in-depth, creative stories while toiling as a reporter with the Springfield Union-News. The series of short stories produced in that workshop eventually evolved into her first novel, Naked Addiction.
As an investigative journalist, Caitlin was drawn to "complex and dramatic stories – the most bizarre or tragic deaths and the public figures whose questionable actions evoked my investigative curiosity." She wrote about Michael Jackson's original molestation charges and addiction to painkillers, the lifestyle of the Heaven's Gate cult and strippers' laundered political contributions to San Diego City Council members, and developed expertise in addiction (alcohol and methamphetamine, suicide, mental illness and the family dynamics and pharmacology involved).
She expanded a series of news stories about the Kristin Rossum murder case into what would become her first book, Poisoned Love. In 2006, she contracted to draft her second non-fiction book and in a risky leap of faith, left the security of her position with The San Diego Union-Tribune behind.
In 1998, Caitlin was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize by the Union-Tribune. Her story about a depressed teenager who died after lighting himself on fire behind a WalMart won three awards in the annual Best of the West contest. Her journalistic honors also include a Best Feature award from the Associated Press News Executives Council and Best News-Feature award from the Los Angeles Press Club.
Caitlin is a sought-after speaker who also helps aspiring authors as a book doctor and writing/research/promotions coach and consultant. She teaches narrative non-fiction, digital journalism, and author branding/promotions at the University of California, San Diego Extension and San Diego Writers, Ink.
Her other books include Deadly Devotion/Where Hope Begins; My Life, Deleted; Body Parts; Twisted Triangle; and I'll Take Care of You, the story behind the love triangle murder of Newport Beach multimillionaire inventor Bill McLaughlin by his fiancee, Nanette Packard, and her NFL-playing lover, Eric Naposki.
Connect with Caitlin via her website, or on Facebook or Twitter.

Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Market: Snapshot
The global market for bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) market is growing and one of the key factors for its growth is the high demand from labeling, packaging, printing, and lamination applications. The demand for bi-axially oriented polypropylene is also increasing from pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging sectors. The growing inclination of consumers towards spending increasingly on personal wellbeing will help the bi-axially oriented polypropylene market to grow. The growing awareness among consumers towards food preservation is also boosting the growth of the market.
The wavering price of crude oil will negatively impact the BOPP market as polypropylene is a derivate of crude oil. On the other hand, the application of BOPP as tapes in industrial packaging will drive the growth prospects of the global bi-axially oriented polypropylene market. The superior strength offered by BOPP along with high clarity are two important reasons for being preferred across industrial packaging sector. BOPP films are more flexible, a packaging solution. This ensures faster packaging and improved sealing properties, attracting several manufacturers in the food and non-food packaging industries to replace their conventional packaging materials. Bi-axially oriented polypropylene has abilities such as reprocessing and recyclability which are further strengthening their demand in packaging applications. Metalized bi-axially oriented polypropylene adds sparkle to packaging and thus, they are much in demand for gift wrapping and decorative packaging. All these factors will ensure a continued demand for bi-axially oriented polypropylene in the period from 2017 to 2025.
Global BOPP Market: Overview
Bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films have been available in the global market for nearly four decades and are now extensively used in place of aluminum foil, cellophane, and waxed paper across a number of applications. Owing to their superior strength, excellent printability, clarity, flatness, and light weight, BOPP films have become indispensable in the packaging industry and are used for packaging a variety of consumer products such as foods and beverages, textiles, garments, stationary, and textiles. The production of BOPP films is safe and energy efficient. BOPP films can be recycled and reprocessed into products for a number of new applications.
Global BOPP Market: Key Trends
The increasing use of BOPP in flexible packaging is the key driver of the global BOPP market. In the past few years, the global demand for flexible packaging has increased at a significant pace owing to demand from industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, consequently boosting the consumption of BOPP on a global front. In the next few years as well, the thriving market for flexible packaging will boost the global uptake of BOPP.
However, the fluctuating costs of crude oil, which is one of the primary raw materials for polypropylene, are expected to impact the costs of BOPP and thus the profitability of players operating in the highly competitive market.
Global BOPP Market: Regional Analysis
The Asia Pacific market for bi-axially oriented polypropylene presently holds the dominant share in the global market, leading other regional markets by a sizeable margin. The Asia Pacific BOPP market is also expected to achieve growth at a considerable pace over the next few years owing to the high demand for BOPP in the packaging and labelling industries.
China is the leading consumer of BOPP products and is expected to account for a considerable share in the revenue of the global market throughout the report's forecast period. In regions such as Middle East and Africa and Latin America, the demand for BOPP products is expected to rise owing to the expansion of the food and beverages industry and increased consumption of packed products.
Global BOPP Market: Market Potential
Asia Pacific being the most promising investment grounds for the BOPP industry, BOPP manufacturers are increasingly focusing on strengthening their grip on the regional market, through extension of production capacities of already present facilities or installing new ones in countries such as India and China. Cosmo Films, one of the leading companies in the global BOPP market, followed suit with its recent announcement of production capacity expansion by 40% at one of its plants in India. With this expansion, the company aims at catering to both domestic and export markets.
Global BOPP Market: Competitive Analysis
The global BOPP market features an exceedingly fragmented vendor landscape, with none of the top vendors accounting for a significant share in the overall market. The presence of a large number of small and large manufacturers has led to extreme cost competitiveness in the market, which is expected to further intensify owing to the entry of a large number of local players in the near future. Large vendors will also catalyze price wars in the market through economies of scale.
Some of the leading players operating in the global BOPP market are Taghleef Indsutries, Jindal Poly Films, Vibac Group S.p.A., Vibac Group, Poligal S.A., Cosmo Films, Oben Group, Vitopel, Zubairi Plastic Bags Industry LLC, Futamura Chemical Co., Ltd., Treofan Group, Innovia Films, Manucor S.p.A., Kopafilm Elektrofolien GmbH, Rowad Global Packaging Co. Ltd., Chemosvit A.S., Dunmore Corporation, Oben Holding Group, Xpro India Limited, Cosmos Films Ltd., Uflex Ltd., Polyplex Corporation Limited, Tempo Group, SRF Limited, and Biaxplen Ltd.

Students Evacuated After Bomb Threat At Ozark Middle School
School officials evacuated Ozark Middle School on Friday morning after discovering a bomb threat written on the wall of one of the bathrooms, according to the Ozark School District.
The students were taken to the junior high, where they were fed and supervised until school let out in the afternoon. Authorities gave the "all clear" of the middle school at 3:20 p.m., said Supt. Jim Ford.
State police and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office swept the school and searched with a bomb-sniffing dog from the University of Arkansas. Nothing suspicious was found, and there are no suspects yet in the case, Ford said.
The investigation was handed over to the Arkansas State Police, according to the school district.
"All students are 100 percent safe and are always our top priority here at the Ozark schools," a post reads on the Ozark School District Facebook page.

Renoir was born in Limoges in 1841, and moved to Paris in about 1845. He was apprenticed at the age of 12 to a painter of porcelain. In 1862 he enrolled in evening courses of anatomy and drawing at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, as well as painting lessons in the studio of Charles Gleyre. In was in the studio of Charles Gleyre that Renoir met Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille and Alfred Sisley, with whom he established the Impressionist movement. The future Impressionists did not agree with the academic style of their teacher, sharing instead a common pursuit of an art that was free from past traditions. Influenced by Gustave Courbet, the students began to take trips to Fontainebleau to paint directly from nature.
Renoir's early work featured characteristically Impressionist vignettes of real life as it appeared around him, brimming with colour and light. Around 1869-74 he worked alongside Monet along the Seine near Paris, between them evolving what was the characteristic Impressionist idiom. From the mid 1880s, inspired by visits to Italy where he discovered the work of Raphael and to Provence where he worked with Cézanne, Renoir broke with the Impressionist movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique. In later years his work centred on more personal and intimate themes, whilst he also began to make sculpture. Renoir's work is represented in distinguished museum and private collections around the world.

Cat Health Depends on a Balanced Diet
Balanced nutrition is the key to your cats good health
How often have we heard that for the best in life, we need to keep everything in balance. Work and family life balance, exercise and rest and of course eating a balanced diet. When I was in Kenya, I saw the limitations on the availability of clean water. I have not been able to turn on the water at home without thinking about how precious this resource is and how fortunate those of us are that take clean water for granted every day.
We know we need water and we also need to eat a balanced diet to maintain our health and this is easier said than done at times. We can select our food choices but our cats rely on us to choose for them and this can be daunting at times.
The United States Ivory Crush Symbolic Gesture for a Principle
A Symbolic Gesture for a Principle Beyond Money
Today the United States government will destroy six tons of ivory, which represents a large portion of the ivory the Unites States has seized since the late 1980's, when a national ban on commercial African ivory imports went into effect.
International March for Elephants
ONE every 15 Minutes
One elephant is killed every 15 minutes.
Today is the International March for Elephants that is organized by The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust through their iworry campaign. The peaceful marches will take place in 15 cities around the world representing the single largest demonstration of awareness for elephants. The ivory trade is an international crisis that must be acknowledged by governments world wide if we are to see any changes and hope for the elephant. At this rate of killing, African Elephants could become extinct in the wild by 2025.

Gentlemen when you're contemplating on the perfect attire for a formal occasion, I always recommend going with a traditional black and white ensemble. You can't go wrong with a well-tailored black suit, crisp white collared shirt, and solid black tie, the look is timeless.

Steve's Mom's Pickles
One of the great things about owning Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn is getting to grow herbs and vegetables in our garden. We planted cucumbers this summer and they did really well. So well, that we found ourselves with a bumper crop of cucumbers.
We had so many cucumbers! So, we decided to invite our friend Ivy over one evening to make Bread and Butter Pickles. You might remember Ivy--she's the one that makes our delicious jam that we serve at breakfast.
We used a family recipe of Steve's, we like to call it Steve's Mom's Pickles.
Steve's mom always had a huge garden so the family would have fresh vegetables all summer long. There were always so many cucumbers, so his mom started to make bread and butter pickles to have for the remainder of the year.
They were always one of Steve's favorites and he was so happy that we had a lot of cucumbers too, so he was able to do the same with them that his mom did when they were growing up in Ogelsby, Il.
|Steve and his mom, Shirley Donahue
From garden to jar, we had a terrific time canning the pickles. We'll be serving them throughout the year at our cook-outs and at our 5pm Social Hour, remembering our first summer's harvest here at Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn.
Steve's Mom's Pickles
Yield: about 12 jars of pickles
12 Large Cucumbers, sliced not too thin
6 Large Onions, sliced
1/4 cup of Salt
Combine the above ingredients and let them set overnight in the refrigerator, covered.
Next day...drain well, do not rinse.
Mix together:
1 Quart Cider Vinegar
2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Turmeric
1 tsp. Dry Mustard
2 tsp. Celery Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper
Bring to a rolling boil, add in the refrigerated mixture (pickles).
In the meantime, boil empty jars in a large pot of water. Remove and turn upside down to drain the water from them. When the pickles are good and hot (and start to boil), fill the hot jars--about 1/4 from the top with the pickle and onion mixture. Screw the lids on tightly and store upside down until ready to use. Refrigerate once opened.

Packing Materials Description
Book & Wine Cartons
Books can be deceivingly heavy, so when packing books, make sure you can lift the carton easily. Book cartons are designed especially to make sure that your books and (our removalists) backs are both protected by limiting the space available. It is wise to pack a mixture of hardbacks and paperbacks too, so the box doesn't get too heavy.
Wine Cartons
Piling all your wine into a big box is a likely recipe for disaster. Not only will it be too heavy to carry, but there's a strong likelihood of breakage as well. Along with the loss of your wine, you could cause considerable damage to your other belongings – red wine stains easily!
Tea Chest Cartons
These are the most commonly used cartons because their size and versatility allows a whole range of goods to be packed into them. Kitchen goods, decorations, small paintings, lamps, stereos, computers, towels, bed-linen, clothes, toys, and sporting gear can all be packed easily and efficiently in a tea chest carton.
Porta-Robes for Hanging Clothes
Don't mess around with hangers and clothes in boxes when moving. Take your clothes straight out of your closet on their hangers, and slot them right into a Porta-robe. Not only will it protect your clothes from being crushed, it makes it a lot easier at the other end as well when you can put clothes straight into the new wardrobe without having to rehang them.
TV Cartons
Did you keep the box your plasma TV came in? If so, you can pack it right back in. If not (and let's face it, who does!) we have specialised TV cartons that will protect your valuable television. After all, you'd hate it if you got to your new house and you couldn't watch the new season of Game of Thrones because your TV was broken!
Bicycle Cartons
Don't forget the bikes! They are easily damaged in transit if they're not protected. We offer sturdy bike cartons which make transporting your bike safe and easy.
Mattress Protectors, Sofa Protectors and Dining Chair Covers
Furniture is expensive, so you want to make sure it's well protected when you move. And if it's raining, the last thing you need is your beds and couches getting wet! Our heavy duty mattress, lounge and dining chair covers ensure that you furniture is protected from dust, dirt and rain.
Tape, Bubble Wrap and Wrapping Paper
When you're transporting valuable or fragile goods, wrapping with bubble wrap or wrapping paper is essential. You can use newspaper, but it is not recommended because the newsprint can mark or damage your goods whilst in transit. Wrapping your crockery, ornaments, and precious goods in plenty of plain wrapping paper and bubble wrap will ensure that arrive cleanly and safely. And don't forget to make sure you use good quality packing tape to secure your boxes. There's nothing worse than using cheap tape and finding your boxes collapsing in the middle of a move!
Handy Packing Tips
To ensure your interstate move goes smoothly, it is essential to have all your belongings packed up in boxes, ready to go when our removalists arrive. That way nothing gets lost or damaged, and your goods will arrive safely with no breakages. You may be tempted to use any old boxes you can find, but strong, sturdy and easily sealable professional moving boxes are highly recommended to keep your goods in good condition, and to make sure they can be loaded and unloaded from the truck or container easily.
Pack Early to Save Money!
Every week our trusty removalists arrive at somebody's home or apartment to find they are still packing! Now given that the removalist industry charges by the hour, the last thing you want is to have our guys standing around twiddling their thumbs while you pack up your undies or kitchen crockery! So don't wait until the removalists are at your door to start packing your boxes. Pack early. The more organised you are, the more money you will save on the move. Also, packing as much as you can well before the removalists arrive will make for a much less stressful day for you. And moving is stressful enough without adding needlessly to it.
Choose the Right Box to Pack Your Belongings in
When packing your boxes, keep in mind that the easier it is for our movers to lift, the quicker your move will be, and thus the less you will end up paying. Our removalists are use to heavy lifting, but making their job easier means a quicker, more cost-effective move for you. If you can lift it, great. If you can't, time to get another moving box!

Stephen Sanger, CEO of General Mills, talked about the company's latest earnings, which rose 9% in the third quarter, with CNBC's Erin Brunett, saying increased sales helped offset rising prices for ingredients.
Burnett asked the CEO about the so-called corn craze sparked by bio-fuels -- and whether that will further pressure input (raw material and ingredient) pricing. He predicted ripples throughout the food market: rising corn prices will indeed drive up other grains, and in turn higher feed prices will make meat more costly.
Sanger noted that General Mills' input prices -- "especially for agricultural commodities" -- have indeed already risen, but says his company has been "able to offset that."

5th Graders Get an Inside Track on College
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 12, 2017 - For most 5th grade students, now is the time to be thinking about middle school -- new teachers, new friends, new independence.
But on Friday, May 26, nearly one hundred 5th graders from San Jose's Greater Washington neighborhood will spend the day thinking about college-- how to get in; what it's like to live in a dorm; and how students who are the first in their families to go to college find support and thrive.
This Family Engagement Day is part of a four-year-old partnership between Santa Clara University and the Greater Washington neighborhood, which, while rich in cultural and community assets, falls among the lowest income neighborhoods in the area.
"When we began our commitment to provide resources and support through the Thriving Neighbors Initiative, parents let us know that giving their students an 'inside track,' to college life would be one of the most useful things we could do," said Dorian Llywelyn S.J., executive director of the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education at SCU, which sponsors the partnership. "This is now one of the most popular events we run, and it is a key step in helping students in the Greater Washington neighborhood consider college as a realistic prospect for them."
The students will spend the day:
- Touring a dorm room to learn what its like to live on campus.
- Participating in a workshop with physics professor Phil Kesten to perform experiments and get a taste for a college lab experience
- Experiencing a mini marketing course in the Leavey School of Business.
Parents of the students will meet with ethnic studies professor Jesica Fernandez on her experience as a first-generation college student and now as a faculty member.
Media are welcome to attend and interview students, mentors or others hosting the event. Please RSVP to Deborah Lohse of SCU's Media Communications team, firstname.lastname@example.com or 408-554-5121.

How to Update
Before you actually update your tablet you should ensure that you have taken a backup of your device. This is because if something goes wrong during the process of update, you can pull back to the backup that you have created. Simply and logically correct, take the backup of files, applications on your mobile phone. You should also ensure that you have more than 50 % battery life left on your device in order to ensure that you don't run out of the battery in the middle of the update. Also ensure that you are connected
Once you are ready on your tablet go through Menu > Settings > About Tablet and then tap on Software Update. Under that take on to Update Now and your tablet will be connected to the Samsung Servers, once received the update pack message, you should tap on download. Once the file is downloaded, it would be automatically applied to your device and your tablet will be restarted automatically.
So if you are the proud owner of a device which is meant for creativity then you can head to Settings and check for the update now. Do let us know what you feel after updating your tablet. If you are looking to root your Galaxy Note 10.1 then make sure you follow the process correctly.
