Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has agreed to postone court until Wednesday to give Dr. Conrad Murray's defense attorneys more time to analyze new testing that coroner's officials recently conducted.
Testimony had already been canceled Monday so that the prosecution's final witness, Dr. Steven Shafer, could deal with family affairs after his father died last week.
Murray's defense team said they needed time to prepare for how to deal with testing the coroner's office conducted last week on the level of the sedative lorazepam in Jackson's system.

Conrad Murray Trial: Testimony Timeline, Who's Who, About Propofol
Dr. Steven Shafer testified briefly Thursday. He was scheduled to retake the stand Monday and further the prosecution's argument that Murray's alleged negligence with the drug was one of the missteps that led to Jackson's death.
It is unclear when Shafer will be ready to testify again.
"The judge will get more information from the prosecution team as to when he can be back to take the stand," Hearn said.
Murray is accused of involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 death of the King of Pop.
Prosecutors contend that the 58-year-old Murray, a cardiologist, gave pop legend Jackson a fatal dose of the powerful sedative propofol, then left him unattended to make phone calls and send emails.
Defense attorneys say Murray left Jackson's side only for about two minutes to use the bathroom and insist that he was trying to wean the singer off propofol, which Jackson called his "milk" and used to combat insomnia.

Police: Search for Ayla continues, lines of communication open with father
Waterville toddler was reported missing almost one year ago
Maine State Police are still asking for help from the public nearly one year after the disappearance of toddler Ayla Reynolds.
The 20-month-old girl was first reported missing from her father's Waterville home on Dec. 17, 2011.
At a Friday afternoon press conference, investigators said they have followed up on nearly 1,300 leads and are still looking for first-, second-, and third-hand accounts of what might have happened to Ayla.
Maine State Police spokesman Steve McCausland asked that psychics stop contacting investigators because, he says, no information from psychics has proved valuable in this case.
Law enforcement officials also announced that they have reopened their lines of communication with Justin DiPietro, Ayla's father, and some of his family members.
Previously, police had said that communication with DiPietro had stopped.
Police said they've spent thousands of hours on this case and have followed up on leads in 40 states and parts of Canada.
McCausland says, just this month, police have conducted searches in Mayfield, Maine and Stoddard, N.H.
He told reporters that the investigation into Ayla's disappearance is the biggest criminal investigation in the history of the state of Maine.
Police say the case is still an open and active one and they will not stop searching for Ayla until they find out what happened to her.

Brief Summary
Cuddy-cabin boats like the 25' 11" (7.9 m) LOA Cobalt 243 make excellent dayboats, with the added advantage of basic accommodations. But most cuddies have a major drawback: The head is placed between, or at the foot of, the V-berth, where privacy is non-existent if two people are sharing the cabin. Not so aboard the Cobalt 243, which has an innovative enclosed head compartment separate from the cuddy and directly accessible from the cockpit.

Brooke Shields' mother may not have been herself in recent years, but that didn't change the bond between them.
"My mother was an enormous part of my life and of who I am today," Shields said of her mom, Teri Shields, who died last week at 79 after an extended battle with dementia.
"I loved her, laughed with her, and respected her," the actress continued. "And although she had her share of struggles, she was my mom."

Angelina Jolie loses mother Marcheline Bertrand to cancer
A rep for the "Blue Lagoon" star confirmed to E! News today that Teri "passed away peacefully" in New York on Oct. 31.
Before Teri became her daughter's full-time manager when Brooke first entered showbiz as a child, the New Jersey native was herself a model for Lord &Taylor department store, as well as a makeup artist, hair stylist and a hostess at the famed Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village.
She married Brooke's father, Francis Alexander Shields, in 1964, but they divorced when their daughter was 5 months old. Francis died in 2003.

A Marine opened fire on two of his comrades Thursday night at a base in Quantico, Va., before turning the gun on himself, leaving all three dead. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
A Marine opened fire on two of his comrades Thursday night at a base in Quantico, Va., before turning the gun on himself, leaving all three dead, military officials said.
A relationship dispute was believed to be behind the shooting, which occurred in the staff barracks area of the Officer Candidates School at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Northern Virginia, a Marine official said.
The assailant and both victims, a man and a woman, were staff members at the school and not students, a senior defense official said. The official called the incident "isolated," adding: "There was nothing random here."
Three Marines – two men and one woman – are dead after a shooting on a Marine base in Quantico, Va., including the suspected shooter. Authorities are indicating the shooting was a result of a relationship dispute. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports.
The names of the dead were being withheld for 24 hours pending notification of next of kin.
Military police and Prince William County, Va., Sheriff's Department officers responded to a report of gunshots around 10:30 p.m. local time and were on the scene within five minutes, base commander Col. David W. Maxwell said at a press conference on Friday.
They found one Marine dead and the shooter inside the barracks, a Marine official said. At 3 a.m., officers entered the barracks and found two more bodies, including that of the shooter, the official said. The three, all active duty Marines, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Why officers hesitated before entering the barracks remained unclear Friday morning.
"There was a lag but I can't go into the details about the length of the lag the occurred," base spokesman Lt. Agustin Solivan said Friday.
The assailant appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, base officials said.
Authorities did not fire any shots and did not hear any shots fired, Maxwell said. "There was no standoff or barricades," Maxwell said.
Early reports indicated that the shooter may have barricaded himself in the barracks.
The base had been under lockdown after the incident, but its status early Friday returned to "Code Green," meaning operations were normal.
A message posted on Quantico's Facebook page had earlier had told residents to remain in their homes with their doors locked. Personnel on the base were notified of the situation via an emergency alert system. The base returned to normal operations at 2:30 a.m., Maxwell said.
"Early this morning, the Secretary was saddened to learn of the shootings at Marine Corps Base Quantico," defense department spokesman George Little said in a written statement. "His heart and his prayers are with them and their families."
Quantico is about 40 miles south of Washington in the Northern Virginia suburbs.
"This is a truly tragic loss again for the Marine Corps, which has had a number of tragic losses in the last couple of weeks," Maxwell said.
The base provided chaplains and counselors to base residents on Friday.
The Officer Candidates School calls itself "the first proving ground for future Marine officers." Its graduates attain the rank of 2nd lieutenant.
It has a reputation for being challenging.
"The mission of OCS is to train, screen and evaluate candidates, who must demonstrate a high level of leadership potential and commitment to success in order to earn a commission," the Marine Corps says on the school's website. "Officer Candidates School training will be more demanding than any you've experienced before, regardless of commissioning program."

Both city life and suburban living have their benefits and drawbacks.
While there is no concrete answer as to which is better, here are some points to consider if you are thinking of transitioning from the city to the suburbs.
Community and family
Suburbs are less densely populated than cities and there is often a greater sense of community among residents. Living in a suburban neighborhood allows for the opportunity to form relationships with families nearby. Suburban residents tend to stay put longer, providing the opportunity to form long-term relationships with neighbors that may not be possible in cities.
People who live in cities tend to move more frequently due to a variety of reasons, making it more difficult to form and maintain friendships with neighbors or other local people in the area. Children who attend schools in the suburbs are more likely to form long-term friendships and grow up together than those children living in cities.
Generally speaking, schools in the suburbs usually rank higher than those in the city, particularly the inner city. This is due to a number of factors, including funding disparities and higher city populations. Standardized test scores consistently rank higher in suburban schools.
Since homes are spread out more in the suburbs, there is a lower risk for overcrowding.
Smaller class sizes allow students to get more specialized attention that they may need in order to learn, which they would not have had the opportunity to receive in more densely populated city schools.
Living space
The suburbs give home buyers the opportunity to purchase more property for the same price or oftentimes much lower than in urban areas. Larger homes with more square footage are easier to come by in the suburbs largely due to the amount of space available.
On average, properties in the suburbs provide enough acreage to accommodate significant yard space. Finding this amount of the space in a city environment will be difficult and will add up quickly.
A suburban living space will also often be quieter and experience fewer disturbances from people nearby. Suburban areas have less traffic than cities, which also makes for a cleaner environment.
While urban living can be quite attractive, when you are beginning to start a family or already have one, you may find life outside the city a breath of fresh air.

Eletrically Powered Aircraft:flyvolt G 208 by Bruno Giardino
Bruno Giardino Spotlights The Flyvolt G 208 Eletrically Powered Aircraft
Bruno Giardino, the architect of the displayed project Flyvolt G 208 - Eletrically Powered Aircraft by Bruno Giardino explains, Electrically powered aircraft offering comfortable and relaxed flight due to the low noise levels and the instantaneous power availability of the vibrationless engines. This kind of aircraft is ideally suited for flying schools - its similarity to a motor glider makes it complementary to gliding itself. The low weight and small size of the motors has allowed their location on the extremities of the T-tail; such a configuration ensures free and undisturbed airflow around the wings and fuselage, improving the overall aerodynamic performance. .

One of the most revered and considered superior beings of Taoist legend are the Paht Tai Shien Cho or the Eight Immortals. It is unclear whether they have really lived at various times because no official record of them has been ever found. Most of the documents found that refers to the Eight Immortals are mostly religious texts and/or oral transmissions of their story.
The 8 Immortals is comprised of six men and two women. They are said to have attained immortality under various and different circumstances, but some Taoist texts states that they all received immortality when they bite into the Peach of Immortality, which is maintained by the Queen Mother of the South, or the mother of the Jade Emperor.
Collectively, they are considered to bring various luck and protection. To some extent they can be compared to the 18 Arhats of Buddhism and/or to the 12 Disciples of Jesus Christ in Christianity. Only the Arhats and the Eight Immortals are much older than the disciples of Jesus Christ.
Both the The Eight Immortals and the 18 Arhats (more on the Arhats on a later post) are said to possess magical and supernatural powers.
Having the image of the Eight Immortals in our homes will deliver protection from negative energies, and they will also bestow good health, good fortune, wonderful opportunities, and various blessings, especially to those who honor them by offering incense, fruits, and flowers.
Each of the Eight Immortal carries a special implement that they use as a tool to help bestow their protection and blessing.
The Eight Immortals are Chung-Li Chuan, which is said to be the chief of the Eight Immortals, Kuo-Lao Chang, Lu Dongpin, Guo-Chiu Tsao, Tieh-Guai Li, Hsian-Tzu Han, , Tsai-Ho Lan, , Hsien-Ku Ho.
I'll talk about the different immortals in my succeeding posts.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow was not active for the team's game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday because of a rib injury.
Tebow has two broken ribs, suffered at Seattle on Nov. 11, and was limited in practice all week. Third-stringer Greg McElroy was active for the first time in his two-year NFL career and was backing up starter Mark Sanchez. Tebow was active Thanksgiving night against New England, but did not play, with coach Rex Ryan saying he would see action only in ``an emergency.''
Tebow has been a limited participant in the offense, averaging just seven snaps a game after being expected to be an integral part.
Also out for the Jets were wide receiver Clyde Gates, cornerback Aaron Berry, linebacker Ricky Sapp, defensive tackle Damon Harrison, offensive lineman Caleb Schlauderaff and tight end Hayden Smith.
Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts, the team's second-leading receiver with 50 catches and five touchdown receptions, was out with an ankle injury. He was replaced in the starting offense by rookie Michael Floyd.
Defensive end Calais Campbell was sidelined with a calf injury for the third straight game. He hoped to return this week, but David Carter filled in for him on the starting defensive line.
Starting quarterback Kevin Kolb is out again for the sixth straight game, as expected, with a rib injury. Rookie Ryan Lindley was starting for the second straight game. Lindley threw four interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns by Janoris Jenkins, in Arizona's 31-17 loss to St. Louis last week.
Tight end Todd Heap (knee) was also out for the Cardinals, and hasn't played since the second week of the season. Also inactive for the Cardinals were: running back Alfonso Smith, guard Senio Kelemente and tackle Pat McQuistan.

There are three web-accessible applications needed to apply for financial aid:
Yes, students must apply for financial aid every year. If their financial circumstances change, students may get more or less aid. Renewal of the financial aid package also depends on a student making satisfactory academic progress toward a certificate or degree, such as achieving a minimum GPA.
Yes. If a student receives any kind of financial assistance, it must be reported to the Department of Financial Aid. The university will review his or her financial aid package to determine if eligibility for federal funds has changed.
Whether aid is repaid depends on the type of funding received. Loans need to be repaid and grants and scholarships do not.
The Federal Direct Loan is a type of financial aid. Students must complete the federal grant application (FAFSA) before eligibility for a loan can be determined
There are many types of assistance available. However, income is only one of many factors involved in determining aid eligibility. Students should not assume they are not eligible until they have completed the FAFSA. Most students are at least eligible to participate in the Direct Unsubsidized loan program.
Yes. Having bad credit does not prevent students from participating in the federal financial aid programs (except the Federal PLUS Program).
It could be affected. Students should consult their Financial Aid Coordinator before making any changes to their enrollment status.
Verification is the process whereby the school is required to review the information provided on the FAFSA for accuracy. The federal government randomly selects students for this process or a student may get selected because of conflicting or unusual information provided on the FAFSA. If selected for verification, the student (and parents, if applicable) will be required to submit a verification worksheet and a copy of the appropriate year tax transcript.
Much of the information required for verification can only be found on the tax transcript.
The award letter is mailed to students after we have determined eligibility for aid. It will indicate the type of aid students are eligible for and the approximate disbursement dates and amounts for these funds.
Undergraduate students should submit a Federal Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) via the Department of Education website.
The maximum annual PELL Grant is set by Congress and is determined in part by the student's enrollment status throughout the year and the output results from the FAFSA. Students should contact the Department of Financial Aid for more information.
No, the amounts of a PELL Grant disbursement are determined on a term-by-term basis. Unused PELL Grant funds at the end of the fiscal year (7/1 – 6/30) are lost.
In addition to the Federal Pell Grant program, there are a few other grant programs available to students attending Ottawa University:
Failure to repay loan(s) can have serious consequences. Not only will it affect credit, but a student's wages could be garnished, tax returns withheld and eligibility lost to participate in any further federal financial aid programs.
The federal government pays the interest on a subsidized loan while the student is in school at least half time and (with some exceptions) during the grace period. The student can either pay the unsubsidized interest quarterly while in school (recommended) or can choose to capitalize the interest payment and have the interest added to the loan principal.
The entrance and exit interviews are the student's opportunity to learn about his or her rights and responsibilities as Federal Direct Loan borrowers.
The lender will provide Disclosure Statements showing details of current loans and reflecting overall indebtedness but the National Student Loan Data System (www.nslds.ed.gov) should be the best source of information pertaining to all of your student loan debts.
Students may contact his or her lender or the Department of Financial Aid. In addition, there are various calculators available to help students determine what their loan repayment will be.
All federal student loans are funded through the U.S. Department of Education. Private loans are available through a variety of lenders and the student can select whichever lender provides the best product to meet his/her needs.
A student who is eligible for a deferment will not have to make loan payments during the deferment period. Students who are enrolled at least half-time are eligible for an in-school deferment. The University Registrar updates student enrollment statuses each term via the National Clearinghouse.
The interest rate on Federal loans can/will vary based on the type of loan and when the loan is taken. Please contact your lender or the Department of Financial Aid for more clarification regarding the rates on your loan(s).
Students are allowed a grace period of six months before entering repayment. The grace period begins once the student leaves school or drops to less than half time status.
Students may be eligible. They should contact the Department of Financial Aid to further discuss.
The parent has the option to apply with an endorser who would also be subject to a credit check. The parent may also appeal the credit decision. Absent either of these alternatives, the student can be treated as an independent student for loan purposes only and receive additional Unsubsidized loan funds.
Repayment on a PLUS loan begins 60 days after the final disbursement is made. Parents can apply for a deferment while the student is in school. Be careful about asking for this since interest will continue to accrue during the deferment period. The accrued interest will increase the size of the loan, especially if the deferment is for an extended period of time.
Like all other types of financial aid, the funds will be applied directly to the student's university account. If a credit balance is created, the excess funds will be issued to the parent.

It's officially spring in Missoula and time for the season's first edition of First Friday! Check out these fantastic venues, exhibitions and artists on Friday, April 4th as well as the other events listed. Don't forget to visit the Gallery of Visual Arts on campus to see the thesis works of our graduate students and mark your calendar for visiting artist R.L. Tillman!
The Missoula Art Museum will host an opening reception for their lasted exhibition, "Debwe" from 5-9 pm. Karen Goulet, the featured artist, will give a gallery talk at 7 pm. Ms. Goulet's work is described as, "…paper weavings reminiscent of basket forms and techniques." Goulet began making these woven paper shapes after taking a traditional split ash basket-making class. She developed a strong connection to the process but, not having easy access to the black ash used in the baskets, she looked to different materials to weave. What she had readily available were piles of prints she had accumulated over the years as a printmaker.
In her quilts, Goulet gravitates to the star quilt because of the inherent richness of design and the important spiritual and cultural relevance this pattern has for native people. She has created many of these quilts, each with a distinct color scheme and much innovation in the thread work and
design elements.
Goulet received her BFA from Evergreen State College where she worked with Joe Feddersen and Gail Tremblay, who deeply influenced her decision to be an artist. She received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her master's degree in Education from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. As she says "weaving and quilting are my way of talking about culture, weaving past and present together in a way that I aspire to keep stories new. In every piece of art I make is my admiration for the people I am from and the people I know who 'make' with their hands."
School of Art graduate students continue their tradition of bringing terrific artists to the alternative exhibition space behind the Old Post Pub. Join us on First Friday to see the works of Kayla Martin titled, "I Only Have Eyes For You."
Don't miss out on the latest drawings, paintings, and prints from David Miles Lusk! Join David for an opening reception from 5-8pm at 248 North Higgins Ave.
The annual Pot Sketch fundraiser is soon to be upon us, and our friends at the Clay Studio are opening their doors this First Friday to allow a sneak peek at the wonderful pieces up for auction. In addition to this gallery reception, silent auction bids will be accepted. 5:30-9:00 pm at 1106 A Hawthorne Street.
Missoula Community Access Television:
Our friends at MCAT have recently renovated a space in their television studio so 2D art may be displayed. Join the talented and dedicated individuals who make it possible for all Missoulians to have their own TV show as they welcome Maria Witham to First Friday. Maria's paintings are heavily influenced by her experience at the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota. "I shared the campus with a Catholic monastery." she says, " I think I was drawn to, or influenced by, the art that existed in the older buildings there." Stop by MCAT between 5 and 8 pm to see Maria's oil and mixed medium paintings which explore elements of religious iconography and science fiction influenced imagery.
Be sure to stop by the Brink Gallery at 111 W. Front St. for the opening reception of Abigail McNamara's "place (first draft)". McNamara received her B.A. in Studio Art at Lewis & Clark College in 2012 and continues to work in Portland, Oregon. Her current body of work is a piece about place made of muslin which tells a story in its pattern and layers. The reception will run from 5-8 pm.
Other Art Events:
Visiting Artist:
The School of Art is honored to host Visiting Artist R.L. Tillman on April 9th. Mr. Tillman will lecture on his printmaking and the organization he co-founded, printeresting.org. Join us for a free lecture made possible by the generous support of the Jim and Jane Dew Visiting Artist Lecture Fund. Social Sciences building room 356, 5:30-6:30 pm.
Graduate Student Thesis Exhibitions:
While not a part of First Friday, it's certainly worth an art lover's time to make it to campus and see the works of three School of Art graduate students in the Gallery of Visual Arts. Scott Miller, Calire Melli, and Ellen Walden will present their works from April 10-23 with a reception from 5-7 pm on Thursday, April 10.
The Montana Museum of Art & Culture:
If you haven't had the chance, get yourself over to the Paxson and Meloy Galleries to see "The Japanese Woodblock Print: An Extension of the Impermanent" The exhibition ends on April 19.
The exhibition includes original woodblock prints from late 18th to the early 20th century by Japanese masters such as Toyokuni, Hiroshige, Kunisada, Kuniyoshi, Koson Ohara, Hiroshi Yoshida and Hiroyuki Tajima, as well as French immigrant Paul Jacoulet, among others. The prints are on loan from the George and Claire Louden Collection. The Loudens were employed by National Geographic and the United States Foreign Services and studied and organized exhibitions for United States Embassies around the world. This exhibition was organized by the Carr Gallery in Idaho Falls, and travels under the auspices of the Museum and Art Gallery Directors Association of Montana and provides complementary content for Asian works from the MMAC Permanent Collection. Also featured is Miss Tottori from the Museum of the South Dakota State Historical Society in Pierre.
The Helmet Project returns to Missoula Bicycle Works. This year 20 Missoula artists created unique works right on the helmets donated by BELL. All proceeds from the silent auction will go toward the I Ride For Tanner Bike Skills Park. The silent auction and party will be held Thursday, April 10th from 6:30 till 10:00pm. The silent auction will end at 9:00pm and live music will begin featuring The Boxcutters. For more information, updates and photos of some of the helmets that will be auctioned, visit The Helmet Project 2014 Facebook page.
If you have an item to share with Missoula's art community, EMAIL us and we'll consider it for publication. Have a safe and fun First Friday!

It is not always easy to tell if someone needs drug rehab or alcohol treatment. People who have problems with drugs or alcohol all have different patterns of use. The common thread, though, is that addicted people cannot stop on their own. They always return to drugs or alcohol no matter how hard they try to stop. If you cannot stop using drugs or alcohol, you will benefit from getting help at a drug rehab and alcohol treatment center like PaRC. Take our self-assessment to see if you need alcohol rehab or drug treatment.
"I checked myself into PaRC in May 2009. My counselor, Terry, was one of the best things that happened to me. He was right along side me from my first meeting with him and he stayed that way until I graduated from PaRC in July. He said something simple but powerful to me that I will never forget. He said, 'Mike, I need to give you a compliment. You are doing the very best you can.' The PaRC offered me the tools that I needed to get sober. I owe PaRC for my sobriety and my life."
— Mike S., PaRC Alumnus
Research and medical technology have shown that addiction is a disease. It is a disease that affects your brain, body and your behaviors. Your genes, physiology and environment have all added to the development of the disease. It is not a lack of willpower or a habit. Addiction is not caused by a bad home life. It is not caused by a mental disorder or stress. It is not caused by running with the "wrong crowd" or some other factor. Here are the facts:
We have over 30 years of experience treating patients just like you. You and your family have already seen what addiction can cause. The good news is that addiction is treatable. With the help of the experts at PaRC, you can manage your addiction. PaRC's programs are award-winning. They are based on treatment methods that are proven to increase sobriety rates over the long haul.
It is normal to have strong feelings about entering a drug rehab or alcohol treatment center like PaRC. But getting expert help is the best way to stop your addiction and rebuild your life. We are going to show you how.
Suffering from addiction?No matter the question we can help.

MWC 15 Special
At its press event in New York City, HTC today unveiled the latest addition to its award-winning HTC One family, the HTC One A9. Melding the best of HTC's acclaimed design and innovation with the latest from Google's Android, this is a stunning, no-compromise smartphone that stands out from the (Android) crowd. Built for people who want a better choice, the HTC One A9 is a smartphone that combines striking (already well known but for HTC new) design on the outside with the newest features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on the inside to create an unrivaled smartphone experience. An evolution of the iconic HTC One family design, the HTC One A9 draws on the natural beauty around us, by using rich, striking colors and unique finishes - an approach called "metalmorphics".
New curves, refined edges, and precision-cut ridges on the power button flawlessly combine with the super-thin metal frame giving the phone a natural and lightweight feel. The elegant dual finish, available in a Carbon Gray, Opal Silver, Topaz Gold and Deep Garnet, is painstakingly brushed with hairline detail and bead-blasted before the sides are polished, giving additional depth and richness that is unique to the smartphone market. Finally, in a stunning fusion of metal and glass, a 5" edge-to-edge, 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 Full HD AMOLED screen cascades into the metal frame, giving you brighter and more vivid colors for brilliant graphics and gaming, even in direct sunlight.
Featuring the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor with integrated X8 LTE Cat-6 and 64 Bit Octa-Core CPUs, the HTC One A9 is designed to deliver a perfect balance of powerful performance, fast connectivity and better battery life. With support for epic LTE wireless speeds through next-generation carrier aggregation technology, it delivers more high-definition streaming videos, more pulse-pounding high-resolution audio and more storage in the cloud to hold everything your heart desires.
The best camera is the one you use whenever the moment strikes, so it should be able to capture stunning shots in any situation. The HTC One A9's front and rear cameras, coupled with powerful yet simple editing tools, mean epic photos and videos are only a tap away. Its 13 megapixel main camera features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which automatically minimizes hand shake and corrects vibrations to give a crystal-clear picture every time. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera delivers the best self-portraits in any lighting condition, using HTC's UltraPixel sensor to capture 300 % more light than conventional smartphone cameras. With the HTC One A9, no detail is too small. Offering an optional Pro mode to capture the perfect photo without being a photography expert, you can also save photos using RAW capture - a tool used by professional photographers - for an unmatched level of detail and post-shot editing flexibility. Or things can kept simple with Photo Editor's one-button enhancement feature, which automatically brightens colors and sharpens edges for unbelievably clear and crisp photos. Sometimes a still photo just isn't enough. With the HTC One A9's Hyperlapse editing tool users can speed up videos to 12 times as fast for a dramatic time-lapse effect, creating an immersive video that perfectly captures the moments that matter. Furthermore, HTC Zoe easily and automatically mix best shots and videos into one professional-looking highlight reel that can be shared with friends and family to tell the story of any moment from every angle.
While game changing audio has always been core to the HTC One family, the HTC One A9 isn't featuring front-facing stereo speakers as One M-series devices anymore, but instead it delivers an amazing sound quality, with HTC BoomSound integrated into the headset combined with Dolby Audio surround technology, delivering immersive, vibrant sound that matches a live experience in your headphones by taking high-resolution audio to the next level. With a built-in DAC that delivers audio at 24-bit, 192 KHz quality - better than CD quality - it's said to provide a richness and depth like never before heard from a music collection. A powerful high-output headphone amplifier, with double the output of other handsets, provides more power and dynamic range every nuance of music, videos and games can be heard. Optional high-resolution audio certified HTC Pro Studio Earphones deliver both noise isolation and truly immersive sound.
The One A9 is the first non-Nexus smartphone powered by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, bringing Google's latest innovations and the simplicity of HTC Sense right out of the box. Combined with a multi-directional fingerprint scanner, Android Pay makes purchasing items as secure and as easy as "tap, pay, done." Google's Now on Tap feature also intuitively provides contextual information about whatever is on your screen - look up reviews for a movie from a text, hear a song mentioned in a blog post, or book seats at a restaurant from an E-Mail, all at the press of the home button.
With so many new features, the HTC One A9 has also been designed with all new power-saving capabilities to maximize battery life. Doze automatically turns off power hungry applications when the phone is left idle, while App Standby knows when an app open in the background isn't being used and shuts it down until you need it again. In addition, the phone's new Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 CPU, AMOLED screen and support for the optional HTC Rapid Charger 2.0, for up to 75 % faster charging are all optimized to maximize battery life throughout the day. In real terms this means, for example, that you can play 12 hours of HD video on one charge.
The phone will be available in two configurations with either 16 GB and 2 GB RAM or 32 GB memory and 3 GB RAM. Europe will only get the 16 GB version while the U.S. will get the 32 GB version. Nevertheless, the One A9 features expandable memory, supporting up to 2 TB in SD card storage, which will be enough for storing all apps, games, photos, music and videos.
To protect the One A9, it can be also paired it with the HTC Dot View II case, available in Obsidian, Deep Garnet, Sea Coral and Turquoise Blue. Its retro-inspired dot matrix cover reveals instant notifications, weather updates, caller ID and more, even while closed, and simple gesture controls bring music, flashlight, radio and voice recording tools closer than ever.
The HTC One A9 and accessories will be available worldwide, both at retailers and at htc.com, beginning November 2015. In the U.S. the HTC One A9 will be available on www.HTC.com with preorders beginning today at 12:30 pm ET. Unlocked versions will cost US$ 399.99. Initially HTC will offer the Opal Silver and Carbon Gray in the U.S. and will make the Deep Garnet available in the coming weeks. Because bad things happen to good smartphones, consumers that purchase the HTC One A9 through HTC.com, HTC will offer UH OH Protection, which includes one free replacement within the first 12 months of ownership for a cracked screen, water damage or carrier switch. Additionally, the HTC One A9 will come with 6 months of unlimited music on Google Play Music when you purchase from HTC.com. Carriers will announce colors, availability and pricing of individual carrier versions

It is also the piece that set me off on the path I now find myself on.
We were a group of Mum's who started meeting without the babies in tow in order to cross stitch or do something similar, although really it was just an excuse to sit and natter without having to jump up every five seconds to deal with a toddler.
One day I was approached by Michelle, an Australian, who was new to ex-pat life, who asked if she could join our group.
" But I don't cross stitch," she said, "I do Patchwork and Quilting. Is that okay?"
Eventually with the help of her Mum , who sent all the fabric over from Australia, we each produced one of these panels. It is a Debbie Mumm design. The applique was fused but all of the rest was hand stitched.
By the time I had finished it I was hooked and I haven't done any cross stitch since!
To all of you that kindly take the time to visit here and follow my creative pursuits, I thank you and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Dear Aunt Hazel & Uncle Will.
We are sorry we can't
make it down to the reception.
We'd love to come but the men
are too tired when hight comes
to feel like making the trip. We
do hope you have a nice one.
We are sending our gifts down
and also the genealogy you
asked for. I am also sending
a couple of pictures, one of
Grandma (that I'm sure Uncle
Will will recognize) and the other
is her mother. I had them made
up while I was working in the
Temple and doing a little work.
in genealogy. (page 1)
We are all fine and
enjoying spring weather. This
past week has been grand.
Maynie wanted me to
come down & get the gifts
in the mail
afternoon, but I was a little
late (I washed) and he was
a little early so you & Rebecca
can blame me for not being
able to get them down in time
for the reception. Our mail man
doesn't make connections with the
Bear Lake mail man in the
morning. We are sorry but hope
she liked them any way.
The reception she is referring to is that of my great aunt Rebecca Piggott Gardiner, who was Hazel's daughter.

How do you join Pony Club?
You need to approach your local Pony Club(s), (contacts for all of our clubs) Clubs can now let prospective new members ride under the Come and Try form, which costs $10 for the day to cover insurance liability. Clubs may have their own fee over and above this to help cover their costs.
Through joining an individual club, people become members of the Pony Club Association of Victoria.
To join, most clubs require that a rider has their own horse, although there are exceptions to this. If you do not have a horse and are looking for riding lessons; in the first instance find an accredited Riding School, and have lessons to get started.
If your child wants to go on with Riding, there are a few clubs that run 'Riders Without Horses' programs. These sometimes are aimed at helping a child get their first horse, and there is no promise that they will get to ride at every rally. Horses for these programs are supplied by the members of these clubs, and therefore reliant on the members being able to lend them for a time. These places can be in demand and there is often a waiting list.

Jessica Alba wants to make her family a fantastic four – or more.
The star, currently mom to 2-year-old daughter Honor Marie with husband Cash Warren, says she's planning on adopting more children.
"If you have the love, and the capacity to love children, you should just adopt," she said on Sunday night's episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." "And I plan on doing it."
Jessica added that she gave the same advice to her own parents.
"My mom grew up around a huge family, and they always wanted more kids, and I was like, 'Why don't you just adopt?'" she said on the episode.
The star appeared on the show to help rebuild the dwelling of a 15-strong Texas foster family.

So you think you're hard? Well that's what Olympus believe with its Tough range of digital cameras. But are they? And more importantly do they take good pictures? We get rugged to find out.
Cased in metal, as you might expect, the Olympus Mju Tough-6000 is thicker and heavier than your average compact camera but by no means large. With a rough tough exterior the design follows the same ethos. And yes there are plenty of screws to give you that tough feel.
So there isn't a protruding lens on the front (wouldn't want it to get broken) nor are there any flimflam rubber covers for the USB or battery, they are hinged shut. The top sports on/off and shutter buttons while the rest of the controls are left to the back of the camera, left of the 2.7-inch HyperCrystal screen that works a treat in bright sunlight.
Here you get a d-pad, four buttons, a mode dial and the zoom toggle switch all packed in a space that's just about suitable for three buttons let alone 12. The result is that it's all very fiddly to control. Perhaps understanding this, you can opt for a rather unusual operating interface - Tap Control.
Press a button and when you tap different parts of the camera the interface reacts accordingly. Tapping the right hand side gives you flash control, the left macro modes (there are three), while tapping the actual screen loads up the playback option. Once in playback the taps control forward and backward picture movement or start a slideshow.
We aren't really sure why you would want this feature, especially as you still have to use the buttons to accept the changes when it comes to the flash and macro settings. Are you supposed to use it underwater when you can't reach those fiddly buttons because you've got slippery hands? Beats us, but what we do know is that it seems a pointless bit of tech that has no real rhyme or reason to it.
Get past the Tap Control, which you'll be pleased to know you can turn off, and you can get to using the camera in conditions you won't find in the office.
- Sky Q update discussed, VanMoof S3 e-bike, and the future of solar charging - Pocket-lint Podcast 61
For those who enjoy the more active lifestyle the Mju Tough-6000 is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. On top of its freezeproof attributes, it is waterproof to 3m and can resist falls of 1.5 metres.
Just for you we've dropped it, we've stamped on it, we've even given it to our 15-month and 3-year-old kids to see what damage they could do and just like the TV adverts it's still standing up to the job. The waterproofing means this will be great for the beach, canyoning, or that outward bound hiking your no doubt planning, while the -10 degrees capabilities mean you can hit the slopes with it without the fear of it breaking.
Get past all that toughness and you still get a 10-megapixel sensor with a 3.6x wide zoom lens spanning a focal length of 20-102mm. The wide angle lens is ideal for those massive vistas you might be taking in on your treks while the 3.6x zoom will allow to get closer, but not close enough if you're after a spot of wildlife.
Other features include dual image stabilisation, face detection and different shooting modes. Aside from the usual array of portrait, landscape, self portrait, fireworks, sunset (you get the picture), there is even a beauty mode featured on the mode dial suggesting that while you might be the rugged type you still want to look good. Here, like other cameras from manufactures like Casio, Olympus will take two pictures and then add subtle enhancements to the image to make you, well, look more "beautiful".
The results are subtle, the camera saves both so you can see the difference and it's more of a smoothing of the skin rather than cosmetic surgery, but it's enough to scare you and make you look like you've lived in LA for a couple of years.
In our tests we found that images where a little soft (no we didn't have the beauty mode on all the time) which isn't a problem if you are printing at standard sizes, but something worth bearing in mind if you are opting for big A3 prints of your work. Colours and tone on all subjects we shot were well balanced (see boy in red buggy) with little bleeding of colour and detail. The beatification process is a nice touch for the "lady" in your life but I'm not sure "blokes" will be all that bothered with it.
Overall we are very pleased with the camera's performance although it can be a bit slow to react from pressing the button to capturing the shot. Taking a picture of the office dog was almost impossible.
With a price to match your average 10-megapixel compact camera, the Olympus Mju Tough-6000 offers a good rugged approach without trying to sting you for it.
That rugged approach lives up to its name, giving you a camera that you can happily give to the kids or take to the beach without the fear of breaking it.
However those looking for a rugged camera to match their even ruggedier lifestyle might to better in opting for the Olympus Mju Tough-8000, the 6000's older brother. It sports a 12 megapixel sensor and the ability to go down 10m in the water, making it a better fit if you want to go beneath the surface.
If rugged is your thing, you don't want to print your pictures too large and you can put up with some fiddly controls, this might just be the camera for you.

Q: "My doctor says that I need a particular medical treatment, but my health insurance company won't cover the cost. Is there anything I can do?"
A: Yes, there definitely is. Contact your health insurer, tell them you want to file an appeal, and ask what you need to do to start the process.
Then collect materials to support your argument, such as letters from your doctors describing why this is the best treatment for you, any medical journal articles or studies showing the treatment's effectiveness, etc.
You may also want to point out the health problems that will or can arise if the company doesn't pay for the treatment. Be sure to provide and estimate of the costs of treating those problems, especially if those costs would be significantly higher than paying for the treatment.
After you send in your appeal to your insurer, don't give up. Most people don't win the first round, but the odds of winning increase as you reach higher levels of appeals. The change of winning is highest when your appeal reaches the final level, called an "independent review organization."
For more tips on appeals, including templates, sample letters and detailed pointers, please see the appeals section of our website or call our consumer advocates at 1-800-562-6900. (If you live in a state other than Washington, please contact your own state's insurance department.)

The Alan Titchmarsh Show On Videogames
Because we really probably should post it even though no-one has the time to take it properly to task. I suspect we'd have said something similar to The Sixth Axis' Open letter to ITV. You have to feel for C&VG's Tim Ingham, who even by appearing on the show is pretty damn brave. Putting aside the research seemingly pulled from thin air, the latter-day attempt to link the Bulger killing to videogames is openly disgraceful. Watch and despair.
UPDATE: C&VG Uncover some interesting stuff about the vehemently anti-violent entertainment Julie Peasgood. She voice-acted in the old, terrible game Martian Gothic. The word you're looking for is "Hypocrite". It doesn't mean that she's particularly judgmental of large, African water-dwelling mammals.
As the Sixth Axis note, if you want to compose a polite complaint to ITV, here's their contact details. I stress, polite.

From staff reports
Ohio University will commemorate Founders Day on Tuesday, Feb. 18.
Honoring the now 210 years since the Ohio General Assembly approved charter plans for the creation of Ohio University on Feb. 18, 1804, this is the third year that OHIO is celebrating Founders Day online through a special website.
In addition to celebrating the University's long academic legacy of excellence, this year's Founders Day website will pay special tribute to University Libraries, which is celebrating its bicentennial anniversary.
"There are only a few libraries as old as Ohio University's in America. That OHIO's Library grew from a tiny collection of books in the wilderness to a top research library in North America is a tribute to generations of faculty, librarians, administrators and donors," said Scott Seaman, dean of University Libraries.
"It is a story that is intertwined with the growth of the University, the changes in society and the changes in technologies," Seaman continued. "It is an honor that the Libraries was selected for Founders Day 2014."
In 1814, the Ohio University Board of Trustees passed a resolution officially titling the University's small collection of books the "Library of Ohio University" and establishing seven rules governing the use of OHIO's first library.
Today, the oldest academic library at the oldest institution of higher education in the Northwest Territory is ranked among the top 100 research libraries in North America and is a member of the prestigious Association of Research Libraries. Dedicated to facilitating inspired teaching, learning and research, University Libraries' commitment to student success and faculty and staff excellence is at the heart of this dynamic, service-driven institution.
"As we commemorate our University's founding, our reflections focus upon Ohio University Libraries and the vast contributions of this institution to our transformative learning experience," OHIO President Roderick J. McDavis said in his message that will be featured on the Founders Day website. "It is my hope that by delving deeper into the Ohio University Libraries, you will come to treasure an entity that has been the lifeblood of our academic community for two centuries."
In addition to McDavis' message, this year's Founders Day website will also feature:
In honor of its 200th anniversary, University Libraries is kicking off an exhibit titled, "Ohio University Library 1814-2014: One Hundred Objects/Two Hundred Years," on the University's Founders Day, Feb. 18.
The exhibit will be on display in the Robert E. and Jean R. Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections, located on the fifth floor of Alden Library. It will remain on display for several months as University Libraries celebrates its bicentennial.
The exhibit will highlight 200 years of collecting history and the monumental changes the University Libraries has undergone. Among the items that will be featured in the exhibit are a deerskin trunk believed to have belonged to Manasseh Cutler, OHIO's founding father, as well as 99 other books and artifacts from the Libraries' collections.
This exhibit is just one of the several ways that University Libraries is celebrating its 200th birthday. Its bicentennial celebration will officially begin on March 25 at the Founders Day Symposium, scheduled for 1:30 to 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of Alden Library.

(when you said you liked the beatles.)
when you said you liked the beatles
the oxygenless night exploded into day
the grey clouds were wiped from the sky
like billows of white from a chalkboard
your eyes lit up like a thousand suns
into the reflection of my radioactive moonlight
and we eclipsed into the caverns of love
when you said you liked the beatles
i could feel my heart growing like bamboo
on steroids into the hollows of my arms
and overwhelmed my body began to sing
a duet with you laced with great hope
a great hope in the divine and that the heavens
weren't just those blue squigglies above
the red house and the brown dog in a child's drawing
on a fridge
when you said you liked the beatles
i became filled with a rage of joy
something i didn't think possible
i found myself dancing through lines
at the d.m.v. and driving one hundred mph
into the mountains to go find the heart
that i now knew was still beating
when you said you liked the beatles
fantastic wings sprouted from your back
and i began to paint an electric portrait of you
psychedelic and visceral and honest to the aura
you possess inside your home of a house
when you said you liked the beatles
i fell in love with you
as we danced to something
pouring out of the loudspeakers
in the streets of denver
like crystalline drops of water
that have resonated eternally
through the last fifty years
and will continue to resonate
forever ever into the cosmos
and where the walls of time
fold in onto themselves and
everyone loves the beatles
the beatles are everyone's band
but when you said you loved the beatles
i remembered there are such things
in this world that exist that we all feel
that will never be captured
that do not drown in the sands of an hourglass
but form great glasshouses
immune to any stones you could throw
they just remain
in the minds
and the hearts
and the guts
of the mass populace
of incredible lovely people
forever ever into the cosmos
and where the walls of time
fold in onto themselves
like the crescendo
in the middle of
a day in the life
02.2013 is a twenty-eight day project chronicling my february of 2013 through poetry. to read the entries from the beginning CLICK HERE

Being Peace
Thich Nhat Hanh
Introduction by Jack Kornfield; Illustrations by Mayumi Oda
In stockEmail to a friend
A bestseller with over 250,000 copies sold, Being Peace is the seminal founding work by Zen Master and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh. With a new introduction by Jack Kornfield and the first update since its release over fifteen years ago, this eloquent meditation on "being peace in order to make peace" is more relevant than ever. A book for everyone concerned about the state of the world and the quality of our lives, it has lost none of its timeliness since it was first published in 1987. It is filled with practical suggestions how to create a more peaceful world "right in the moment we are alive." Contains Thich Nhat Hanh's key practices, including a guide to the practice of reconciliation which has become a peacemaking tool in many other religious traditions.
This beautiful, newly revised edition is the perfect starting point for those who are getting their first introduction to Buddhism as well as a must-have for those already engaged in the tradition.
With illustrations by Mayumi Oda.
