In connection to TFCW Refugio County Farm Bureau donated a $100 check to the Good Samaritan Ministries of Refugio and Food Bank.
Local shoppers Debra Hipp and Johnny Schlabach received a $50 HEB gift card each.
As we celebrate Texas Food Connection Week, Refugio County Farm Bureau encourages you to ask yourselves, what would life be like if you walked into your local grocery store only to find bare shelves? Thanks to farmers and ranchers across the Lone Star State and the nation, that's a scenario most of us are not likely to see in our lifetimes.
As we recognize the hard work and dedication of those men and women during Texas Food Connection Week, We also encourage everyone — farmers and consumers alike — to seek common ground.
Texas Food Connection Week is about more than connecting farmers with their customers and vice versa. It's also about promoting a general understanding that both parts of the equation are equally important — those who produce the food and those who consume it.
Without customers, farmers and ranchers have no markets. Without farmers and ranchers, customers face bare shelves.

Birds and Blossoms At The Park
46 comments:

That choke-cherry sets my nose tingling, I just love it's bitter-sweet scent. Such a rich place for birds and sometimes it is enough to catch a glimpse of a bird and not the 'perfect' shot. The last shot with the sandpiper is so soothing.
Thank you for the beauty you share. - May 25, 2012, 3:03:00 PM
- TexWisGirl said...
good luck with the camera! i like that robin shot as it almost reminds me of an oriental painting. and speaking of painting, the green reflections in the water make it look like one!

- Dorothy said...
I like your unique style, Ruth! Your pictures are all wonderful! I like to go on these photo safaris and take pictures of things I like. You caught the yellow warbler just right! Can you do that again;-) I really like that last picture of the stream, reflections and sandpiper!!
Hope you have a pleasant weekend! - May 25, 2012, 4:12:00 PM
- Karin said...
I love how the cherry blossoms are front and center, the full focus on their beauty! The Warbler in flight is unique, as is the Robin and the beautiful green reflections in the the little stream! You do have an amazing style!

Wonderful images. Sorry to hear the 40D isn't working. I hope it heals soon!

Oh my - your photos are just beautiful! I really like them all, but the Warbler shot is my favorite. I love that kind of surprise!
- May 25, 2012, 5:17:00 PM
- Montanagirl said...
P.S. I have a Canon EOS 40D too, and was just thinking about that today and how many times I've held that shutter button down for bursts of shots. Wonder when mine will quit??? I've rather been expecting it to happen.
- May 25, 2012, 5:18:00 PM
- Connie said...
These are each so unique and do have style! I guess the warbler is my favorite because we do not have them here - or I have never seen them.

Hi Ruth...I love these shots! The Yellow Warbler and the Red Admiral..my favorites!!
Hope you camera problem is not to costly : {
Grace - May 25, 2012, 6:17:00 PM
- Diane said...
You came up with some amazing shots just before the camera quit. They're all wonderful shots but the warbler is such a winner and so is that last one, it took me a few seconds to see the sandpiper and then I spotted the reflection first! Hope it goes well with your camers. Diane

Hi Ruth, Sorry about your camera problem. Hope you can get it fixed quickly... I know that you are life me. I couldn't go very long without my camera....
Gorgeous pictures. I was struck today by the last one with the reflections.... Awesome...
Have a great weekend.

OH what beautiful pictures! I love when I catch a bird on the wing, the warbler shot is great. What an intense green in the water shot!! Thanks for brightening my day.

- Willard said...
A beautiful series, Ruth. Sorry to hear about the 40D. Mine had to have the shutter replaced when it was 6 months old and was thankfully under warranty. There have been no problems with it since. Best of luck on the repair.
- May 25, 2012, 8:09:00 PM
- Ginny said...
I love the first flower and the way the light is, and the colorful bird in flight. It took me awhile, but I do see the sandpiper now. That was fun trying to find him!!! And isn't it something how birds will fly away from us, but the butterflies let us get close? Wishing you a lovely holiday weekend.

Your images are always so meaningful. I hope your camera will soon be fixed and that you have a great weekend.

oh no on the camera repair, i hope you have another to use while it is away and that it doesnt break the bank. i love the yellow bird in the yellow flowers, it is perfect just like it is. the sun paints everything and makes it glow and you captured so much beauty. thanks for reminding me of our Lewis park, which is one mile from us, it is a childrens park but has wonderful old trees and a creek. will have to get over there and see what is blooming.

Sorry about your camera. I LOVE all the photos, but I especially like the robin pic. Something very charming about it--maybe rules are meant to be broken!!!!! Have a great weekend. Mickie :)

Looks like a beautiful day in the park! I like that last photo, too. I didn't see the sandpiper at first. The greens behind it really make it a pretty shot. Nice warbler shot, too! I see so few warblers.

I love the shot of the Admiral butterfly and also the one of the bird with the bright light behind it. I really don't think it needs any Photoshopping! It's great!

With the Nursery business...I have seen lots and lots of blossoms,but never have I seen a cherry blossom! They are really very pretty. This is a gorgeous bird picture..love the yellow..
Hope you have a great weekend. - May 26, 2012, 7:14:00 PM

rules, what rules?? no one told me there were rules!!
they are all beautiful and that first one is magical!! - May 26, 2012, 7:53:00 PM
- Linda said...
What a treat that yellow warbler gave you. The shot is remarkably sharp, considering the distance and the action. I might have missed the sandpiper if you hadn't mentioned him. And, for me anyway, photography is all about what's pleasing to the eye. That robin shot definitely qualifies. You do good work. :)

I can see how you could easily spend 2 hours there - and more; great shots, Ruth.
Sorry to hear about the camera; my shutter quit working on me last year - had it repaired by Canon but a little pricey (approx. $180). Good luck. - May 28, 2012, 12:27:00 AM
- Riet said...
Hi Ruth Your photo's are getting more beautiful every day. Your camera stops always when you can't miss it can you but it always does.
Have a nice week. - May 28, 2012, 6:45:00 AM
- LV said...
You do so very well in capturing details on your subjects. I would dearly love taking a walk with you through this area.

- EG CameraGirl said...
I'm sorry your camera is at the doctor's! I hope it can be fixed. I would feel so lost without my camera.
Love the shot of the yellow warbler. They are not easy to capture, that's for sure! - May 28, 2012, 6:49:00 PM
- Elaine said...
Lovely series of shots and what a treasure your little park must be. I love that first of the cherry blossoms and the last with the delightful reflections. I like your style and I think some of the best shots are ones that break the rules. The important thing is to have a photo that is pleasing to eye, especially your own. I hope your camera gets fixed quickly. You'll probably see tons of things that you want to shoot while it is in the hospital.
- May 29, 2012, 12:40:00 AM
- Michelle said...
Good luck with your camera. I hope it'll be a quick and inexpensive fix. I love the sandpiper shot near the water. The whole image is so serene and peaceful. It makes me want to be transported there. :)
- May 29, 2012, 9:09:00 AM
- Happyone said...
I love walking where there is a stream and hearing the water.
Sometimes by not following the rules you can get some of the best shots.
Great job. Hope your camera gets fixed soon. - May 29, 2012, 1:36:00 PM

The sandpiper/reflection shot is a work of ART! - May 31, 2012, 6:19:00 AM
- Coy Hill said...
Best of luck on the camera repair Ruth. Its a downer when a piece of equipment goes down. Love you bird shots; great to see that you are still out there enjoying what nature has to offer. And you know that I love those little sandpipers; always so pretty posing by the water's edge.

Albany's Bumguardner: Built Ford Tough Player Of The Week
By: BCH Sports
Updated: November 14, 2012
Some things are just meant to happen. In the third game of the 2010 season, an injury to Albany's starting quarterback forced the Lions to turn to an untested sophomore. Now, nearly three seasons later, Jake Bumguardner is "the man" at the controls and has led Albany to a 31-3 record, two of them playoff losses. His latest win for the 9-1 Lions was a 55-14 pasting of Hamlin, which clinched the District 7-1A title. Jake scorched the Pied Pipers, rushing 19 times for 243 yards (13.5 yards per pop!) and four TDs, completing seven passes for 56 yards, and booting seven PATs. That scintillating performance came on the heels of a six-TD, 279-yard rushing effort in a 73-23 blowout of Cross Plains on Nov. 2.
Jake, an all-stater as both a QB and a kicker, juggles a busy athletic schedule, which includes baseball, basketball, golf, and track & field. He is a two-time state silver medalist in the 400 meters and is among the top ten in the 100 (10.61). In the classroom, he maintains a slick 3.71 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society. He's also heavily involved in FCA, FFA, and his church youth group.
"Jake is our leader, our go-to guy," says Coach Denney Faith. "He'll do anything it takes to win. He's the first person to praise his O-line and his teammates but as the team's playmaker, he does things that few can do. He's definitely our version of Johnny Manziel (the BFT Player of the Year in 2010)."

CORNWALL >> Firefighters from Cornwall, Goshen, Sharon and Falls Village responded to a structure fire at approximately 9 a.m., at 1 Castle Road, and found an 1,800 square feet storage building fully engulfed in flames, according to Cornwall's Fire Chief Earle "Corky" Tyler.
The call came into the Cornwall Volunteer Fire Departments from a resident living at the other side of the valley, who reported seeing black smoke, according to Tyler.
The structure was located on a private road, and nobody was on the premises or living in close proximity. The large structure is made up of a stone exterior and wood beam interior, that was used as storage for unused items, said Tyler.
After spending the entire day fighting the fire, crews eventually gained control, putting the flames out around 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. No one was injured and the cause remains unknown, Tyler said.
However, according to Tyler the fire was not a total loss. "The stone part looked pretty solid and might be re-used," he said. Troop B State Police also assisted the fire departments. The blaze is being investigated by the Cornwall and State Fire Marshals to determine the exact cause.

The Blanco Sessions (Cow Island Music) is the final album by rockabilly pioneer Janis Martin. Dubbed the Female Elvis during her '50s heyday, Martin was coaxed back into the studio by diehard fan/Americana stalwart Rosie Flores. Recorded four months before her 2007 death from cancer, these 11 songs show the Virginia native still had plenty left in the tank as she tore into covers of Dave Alvin, Don Gibson and Bill Monroe while also breathing life into early rock & roll gems like "Wham Bam Jam" and "Wild One (Real Wild Child)."

On May 8, more than 500 fashionably dressed women converged on the Garden City Hotel for the Sid Jacobson JCC's tenth annual Friendship Circle Luncheon. Notable celebrities on hand were Good Day New York co-host Rosanna Scotto, who was also the event's MC, and singer/actress Megan Hilty from the Broadway play Wicked and NBC's hit drama Smash, who entertained the ladies with her favorite songs from both shows.
The Friendship Circle Luncheon was started 10 years ago by Denise Silverberg, as a way to raise money for programs providing support for adults in their 30s, 40 s and 50s that are afflicted by Alzheimer's. Silverberg's mother has the disease, so she understands firsthand the role of a caregiver and the stresses involved in taking care of someone who has it.

Deputy Mayor Nicholas Episcopia attended the HUB Stakeholders Meeting held by Nassau County's consultants on the Transportation Project. He was joined by EPOA President Judy Courtney, Vice President Chris Mullaney, and Director Leo Stimmler, as well as William Bellmer, a member of the Garden City Planning Commission, Dorothy Episcopia, past EPOA president, and former mayor Robert Rothschild. Bob Schoelle and Brian Ridgeway attended the afternoon session. Garden City is a stakeholder because a large portion of the village lies within the defined HUB area.
As presented, the currently preferred alternative transportation plan appears reasonable and eliminates the construction of a light rail system that would run from the Mineola Station, south behind Arthur Street, and east along the spur adjacent to St. James Street South, as was initially proposed. Nonetheless, as we have consistently done over the years, we will continue to monitor plans for the transportation project and strongly express our opinion if we believe any aspect of this project would be detrimental to the quality of life in Garden City.

The Garden City JV lacrosse team finished the year with a stellar 14-0-1 record. Led by Head Coach Tom Flatley and Assistant Coach Brett Hepworth, the Trojans overpowered most of their opponents with explosive offensive bursts, tough-nosed gritty defense, and rock-solid goaltending. The offense averaged over 15 goals per game, while the defense allowed just over three goals per game.
The season commenced with a hard fought, triple overtime thriller against Syosset that ended in a 7-7 tie. As the team became more cohesive, most of the next few opponents, including Hewlett, Lynbrook, Carey, Roslyn, Kellenberg, and others, found themselves overmatched against this Trojan team. However, that did not dissuade Ward Melville from putting forth an inspired effort on their home turf for three quarters, before finally falling to Garden City 12-7.

The boys and girls high school teams are both rolling and have their sights set on a long run in the playoffs. Both team have faced a number of formidable opponents throughout the season and have successfully navigated their schedules. One thing that has been consistent for both teams has been that their defenses have had to stand tall at key times and shut down very active offenses. Both Coach Finnell and Coach Chapman have made sure that the non-league schedules of their teams will ensure that their teams are prepared for whatever the playoffs can throw at them.
After going the full season last year undefeated, the boys team has three blemishes on their record with losses to powerhouses Ward Melville, Manhasset and LaSalle of PA. With a 9-3 record the Trojans are looking to wrap up the number two seed in the playoffs to force a rematch of the Manhasset game in the County finals. The boys have excelled defensively only allowing 4.25 goals against per game. And if you remove those three tough losses the goals against average drops to 3.1.

Escaped Convict (Done)I really like it with the banana seat. Too bad jump suit orange wouldn't go with the color scheme. You could upholster it in it. Have you thought about working in some concertina/barbed wire?
Maine has orange jump suits for prisoners now.. sad I liked the black and white stripes. I was way ahead of you on the barbed wire.
Ok I got the rear fender cut down, primed, painted, masked, faux granited, and then mounted. Let me tell you things are tight on the back end of this bike. I have never before had such a juggling match getting everything to line up and assembled in the right order. First some pics of the fender process... Base coat black with the "grout lines" taped. This might me a cool idea for a future bike. I like the blue and black. Then I sprayed gray over it thinly so some black shows through and then really thinly and letting the can "spit" I misted some flat white. Then peel the tape and voila! Put the bike back together again. I got the headlight working it is on in the pic!! I wrapped the bars, parts of the frame, the sissy bar, and more in barbed wire. I can still ride it relatively safely but you can be sure I will wear pants. Nasty old rusty barbed wire! (This is really stupid and over the top but hey I'm not taking this thing on the Tour de' France). I am working on a chain guard from an old JC Higgens. It will match the fenders and have Prison lettering on it. I have a few more minor ideas and am waiting on my seat. I will keep this rusty sissy bar though. I really like the look. I decide early not to care about scratches, scrapes, bumps, and dings as it adds it's own "Ratness" to the build. Aaron
Keep in mind, I am an idiot.
This bike is absolutely insane Looking great!

Thanks Guys! Brett I'm sorry, I have no control over what the bike tells me to do. Or perhaps it's the voices in my head... I get them confused.
Finished the chain guard!! The bike and one of my 5 cats (Gus) The Barb wire around the seat Along the frame The barbed wire on the handlebars. I screwed up and the chainguard does not fit well. Too far forward and too far out. It just clears the crank arms but needs to be fixed. (Bummer) Also the chain is so tight to get the wheel to point it will clear the frame properly it binds. (Bummer again!!) New longer chain in order, re-do Chain guard mount, lettering, kickstand, and who knows what else. It's getting heavy! Aaron
Keep in mind, I am an idiot.
dude that is awesome! i dig theme bikes!
fast eddie outty Fast Eddie,
Lookin real good Aaron. That barb wire looks sharp (no pun intended), and that light just does wonders for the overall look. Better hope you don't crash that thing and then have it land on you. Been there done that, minus the barb wire of course.
Jeff Jones
To many people, God seems so far away. If so- who did the moving? Check out: http://www.castingcrowns.tv/
I was definetely not feeling the fenders, but with the chain guard finished and on there, they look much more appropriate.... nice finish!

Ukrainians suffering from infectious diseases such as HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis take part in a rally in front of Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers building to protest against the lack of drugs for treatment, which are supposed to be bought by the state and handed out for free to patients, in Kiev April 17, 2013. The protesters believed they would die soon due to the lack of health care from the state. Ukraine suffers from one of the most severe HIV and AIDS epidemics in Europe, according to the World Health Organisation. REUTERS/Gleb Garanich (UKRAINE - Tags: CIVIL UNREST POLITICS HEALTH)

Two very different images captivated Internet viewers on Wednesday.
First, a YouTube video of an eagle snatching up a toddler captivated millions of viewers, some of whom may not have immediately realized it was fake.
Uploaded on Tuesday, the clip shows a golden eagle swooping out of the sky to grab an infant in its talons, then dropping the child seconds later. Despite broad and immediate skepticism of its authenticity, it had more than 5 million views by Wednesday evening.
The Canadian digital-media school where the video was created issued a statement Wednesday afternoon clarifying the clip as a hoax and naming the students involved. However the school, Centre NAD, was unapologetic about its prank, even pointing viewers to another hoax video, created by students, of an unlikely penguin escape. (The penguin video had a paltry 37,000 views.)
Comments on YouTube and the school's website were mixed.
Sandra Bauer wrote, "... it would be a good idea to post some links to raptor rescue centres. This video will undoubtedly spawn irrational fear of eagles and others."
A YouTube commenter, DJ Mykee, had a more light-hearted view: "KIDNAPPING CHILDREN IS? ILL-EAGLE."
Considering that the bald eagle is a national symbol of U.S., maybe it's fitting that the day's other viral imagery involved President Barack Obama.
Time's website published a behind-the-scenes gallery of photos of Obama, snapped by White House photographer Pete Souza, to accompany the magazine naming Obama its Person of the Year.
One of them showed Obama at the White House, pretending to be caught in a pint-sized Spider-Man's web.

I love my new flameless candles;
By Bev
from Rocky Point, NY
Best Uses
I am using the candles on my dinner table, and in the window. People have asked if the flame might cause a fire, however, the flame is artificial but realistic. A great addition to my table.

I like them
By Shopper
from Maryland
I like these. I wish the light was a little whiter and brighter. The timers seem to get a little out of sinc over time and need to be reset to lite at the same time. For the money they did the trick.
After receiving mine, ordered a second

I have nothing bad to say about these candles. Everything good is mentioned above.
nice but a little small
By Microman
from Otley, IA
These are very nice, but light is slightly too small to be seen from very far away. Kind of looks like dots in the window from more than a few hundred feet. However, the soft glow is very nice from inside.
Very dim. A disappointment.
By disappointed
from Northern NJ
Sorry to say, but these are not worth it.
I would not buy this product again.
By laloba63
from Santa Rosa, CA
The candle itself is realistic and lovely. Flame is bright enough to be seen down the block. The base, however, is very thin and cheap. Two of the four bases were discolored in spots. I attempted to polish them with brass cleaner, and it made them worse.
Great Product!
By Raylene
from Senoia, Georgia
The candles are in the windows in my kitchen. It was no problem to put them there. The lights are beautiful to look at when I am in the kitchn working.My son has moved out and will going into the Navy soon so the lights are for him as well as to honor the Christmas season.

10/3 Cubs dismiss Listach
The Cubs dismissed third base coach Pat Listach after Wednesday's game, and were still evaluating interim hitting coach James Rowson's status. The rest of manager Dale Sveum's coaching staff will return in 2013. Listach, 45, was in his second season in his second stint with the Cubs. He was a coach or manager in the team's Minor League system from 2000-08 before serving as the Nationals third base coach from 2009-10. Listach was the Cubs' infield coach, and worked with second baseman Darwin Barney, who compiled a 141-game errorless streak.
"This is hard for me," Barney said after getting the news. "He was one of the first people who really saw what I had and believed in it and voiced his opinion for me a couple years back. It's tough. He's going to be fine, he's got a place in baseball and he'll find work somewhere for sure. It's hard to see him go. We spent a lot of time together preparing for these games and putting together the season I had defensively.
"Whenever I try to give him credit, he tells me, 'It wasn't me, it was all you. Don't think I did anything,'" Barney said. "The reality is, he did [help]. He turned me onto a lot of different ideas and different things. It's just sad, it's sad to see him go."
Rowson was promoted from Minor League hitting coordinator to replace veteran hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo in May. The Cubs batted .240 this season, ahead of only the Astros in the National League.
– Carrie Muskat

My preference for hitting coach is all ready in our system so we will see.
Who are you thinking of for hitting coach? I am wondering why Listach was dismissed.
Pat was former bench coach under Quade and did not get high marks. Then we had numerous baserunning mistakes around 2nd and 3rd and home. No matter what the coach is going to take the blame for poor baserunning. Nobody but nobody can survive from the old regime. Dennis Lewalynn was just dismissed as minor league pitching co-ordinator and hired by Atlanta. At one time Listach was in serious running for a managerial position but the Quade=Sveum years can sink you. Some rumors tonight that Mr. Ricketts want Sandberg at 3rd but this afternoon the Phillies fired their coaches–presumably to make room for Rhyno at lst base and then inherit Charlie MANUEL job as he nears retirement. Latter seems more feasible.Listach will find job pronto and triple a spot has always been comfortable for him.

Pencil Blade.. a simplistic approach to slicing fruit
Okay... it's obvious that the Windows Phone game Pencil Blade is a Fruit Ninja knock off. But that doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable knock off.
Game play with Pencil Blade has you slicing pencil sketched fruit with your razor sharp pencil. Along the way you'll need to avoid slicing the drawn out bombs. Pencil Blade has three game modes and customizable pencil colors, backdrops and theme colors. It shares Fruit Ninja's addictive quality and the pencil sketchings give Pencil Blade a unique feel.
Pencil Sketch opens up with two of the three game modes available, Classic and Crazy. You'll need to slice your way through 2,012 pieces of fruit to unlock the third game mode, Compo+.
The Classic Mode has fruit flying through the air and your job is to slice them up before they leave the screen. Miss three and the game's over. You also have bombs being tossed about that you'll need to avoid. Slice a bomb and the game's over.
Crazy Mode has fruit flying all over the place and you have sixty seconds to slice as many as possible. There are bonus fruit to slow things down, double your points and start a frenzy. Bombs are present and deduct points and you lose the time needed for them to explode. You also have a bonus fruit that creates a force field that prevents bombs from coming into play.
The Compo+ mode has no bombs to get in your way, plenty of fruit and ninety seconds to see how many fruit you can slice and dice.
Pencil Blade does have a variety of backdrops, pencil slicing colors and themes to choose from in the settings. It may lack the splatter effects that Fruit Ninja has but it's still a fun game. My only nit is that at times, the bonus fruit falls along the edges of the screen making it really tough to slice. The game is also played in vertical orientation that takes a little bit of the elbow room out of play.
Pencil Blade may be a knock off of Fruit Ninja but the simplistic graphics puts a nice twist on the game. Pencil Blade is a free, ad supported game for your Windows Phone and you can find it here at the Windows Phone Store.

I'm glad a dev decided to take advantage of WP's lack of fan favorites from the other platforms. If the devs of Fruit Ninja are dumb enough to avoid WP, others will take advantage of this. I hope more people start to realize that WP is growing and start to develop apps for it.
Edit: Ok, maybe they aren't dumb, but they just don't understand that they're missing out on a great opportunity from WP.
MacDaMachine says:
Fruit Ninja is in the store. They also made fruit ninja for Kinect. So yea....
MikeComrie2 says:
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online(Click on menu Home)
coldside says:
Yeah it is but the port is horrible. It hasn't been updated since 2011. There also seems to be some kind of input lag (Lumia 920).
xcharles718 says:
Fruit Ninja has been available on WP for the past two years.
SaucePolicy says:
In case the dev reads here, you have a typo in the game: "compo" should be "combo". Fun game though, looks nice.
AngryNil says:
Changing graphics is not putting a twist on a game. There's no way around it being a blatant ripoff from a developer who is choosing to ride on the popularity of someone else's idea rather than being original. There's no compelling reason to play it over the original and it does nothing for the platform. Rather useless highlight IMO.
freestaterocker says:
Agree wholeheartedly.
John20212 says:
If the developer of the original fruit ninja gets a wind of this game and cares, it will be pulled from the marketplace soon. To be honest I am surprised that it passed MS checks since its such a blatant copy of the original.
AngryNil says:
Kind of hard for Microsoft to police things like that in the approval process, I hope this gets pulled though. It's just lame to wholesale copy someone else's idea and have the nerve to make money off of it.
TonyDedrick says:
If its hard, then what exactly does this approval process entail that makes it so hard to not notice a blatant ripoff of an established game?
williewillus says:
I think they deserve it since they haven't updated the real app for what, two years now? They should probably update before getting on others.
AngryNil says:
It's never "deserved" for anyone to have their intellectual property stolen just because they don't offer it to you in a format you want.
AngryNil says:
How would you draw the line between clone and riff? Not only that, but won't that only be detected if the original app is famous? Say I pioneered a game mechanism, but my game is not popular. No one will step in to prevent clones of my game, even though my idea may be as novel as Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja. Implementing such a system will simply be unfair, the correction course of action for Microsoft is to react swiftly yet accurately to take-downs.
I believe the current system checks for simple IP infringement (names, logos), malicious intent and adherence to Store guidelines.

Ok, I'm not sure how this is happening. A friend of mine recently got a Lumia 800, which was an absolute steal for a phone of it's quality, but I made sure to get him clear on all the facts, mainly the fact that it wouldn't get wp8 and that he'd probably be behind on apps.
Well, good news is he absolutely loves the phone, and the app scene is not as dreary as I thought. Surprisingly so in fact. I'm just curious, how is it that he's still getting new titles like Pencil Blade? I'd assumed since wp 7 apps had to be coded differently from wp 8, we'd just stop seeing new apps from coming into the marketplace. So this means devs like these are actually going to the trouble of coding their apps twice? Anyone know how much of a massive undertaking that is? If it's not too much work, things could still stay pretty good for people on wp7.

The hotel, which tends to book up quickly, has hosted all sorts of high-profile guests such as Brad Pitt, Lucille Ball and John F. Kennedy. Ahwahnee tends to get booked up very quickly.
"It's so much more than you'd expect from a national park lodge," Bowen says.
City chic: Hotel Monaco Seattle
The recently renovated Hotel Monaco Seattle doesn't just qualify as "city chic" because of the contemporary design typical of the Monaco brand. Another requirement, says Bowen, is that the hotel attract locals to hang out at its bar and restaurant.
They appreciate the long hours of the gourmet happy hour (4-8 p.m.) and the tasty treats served up by Sazerac hotel restaurant chef Jason McClure.
"The hotel has definitely upped the ante in that respect," she says. "They feature local musicians. You're in the center of town and part of the local scene."
Royal pedigree: Ciragan Palace Kempinski (Istanbul)
With global attention on the marriage of the British royals and the popularity of television programs such as "Downton Abbey," hotels with any sort of royal pedigree are proving quite popular. People want to live like royalty, even if only for a few days
Guests can live like rulers of the Ottoman Empire at the Ciragan Palace Kempinski, once the 19th-century home of an Ottoman sultan on the Bosphorus Strait.
"The rooms are absolutely spectacular, and you can imagine being waited on there by handmaidens back in the day," says Bowen. "The 11 palace suites come with 24-hour butler service. It's a perfect retreat in Istanbul."

Announcing the following vacancies for the 2012-2013 season :
Concertmaster (download excerpts)
Associate Principal Second Violin(download excerpts)
Viola: 1 position(download excerpts)
Cello: 1 position(download excerpts)
Applications must be received by 5:00 PM, September 28, 2012. A non-refundable audition fee of $20.00 is required from each participant. Make checks payable to Symphony of the Southwest. Please include with your check the application form and a brief resume.
The SSW conducts auditions in the following manner:
Candidates are required to sign in at the audition site one half hour before the audition is to begin. The audition steward will sign in all candidates. Fifteen minutes before the audition starts, the audition committee will give the candidates the first round of excerpts. The candidates will draw numbers to determine the order in which each candidate will appear before the audition committee. Warm up is allowed in the reception area where the candidates sign in, or, in the private practice rooms available. Those closest to playing their respective auditions will be given precedence in the use of the private rooms. At the appropriate moment, each candidate will be escorted by the audition steward from the warm up area to the audition room. Soft soled shoes must be worn by all candidates. Instruments must be tuned before entering the audition room. All candidates will play behind a screen or in a space created to ensure anonymity. The candidates will play only the excerpts selected by the audition committee and in the order given.
Only Mr. Kellogg, the music director, and the audition steward are allowed to talk in the audition room. If the candidate is not certain about any part of the process, he or she must speak to the audition steward outside the audition area. It is possible that more than one round may be necessary to declare a winner. Therefore all candidates must wait to be dismissed from the audition site by the audition steward. Sight reading may be used to break a tie.
Winning candidates will be announced immediately following the audition. Candidates will have checked the SSW website in advance of the audition for concert dates. The Concertmaster is expected to be available for all the concerts. The viola and cello winners must commit to at least three of the four SSW concerts to be presented during the 2012-2013 season.
For any questions and concerns please call the symphony office, 480-827-2143, or contact Tim Haas, personnel manager, at 480-720-2392 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Anna Lumpkin, regional school safety coordinator for the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, said the Sandy Hook school
shootings are forever ingrained in minds across the world, but acts of violence are unpredictable, regardless of any amount of preparation.
These incidents have "happened before, and they're going to happen again," she said. "And most often, we've planned for what's just occurred."
Lumpkin said, currently, schools across the state are likely looking at their weather emergency drill strategies, after a tornado tore through Adairsville on Wednesday.
"What we must remember is that we have to prepare for an all-hazards approach," she said. "We have to be worried about those bomb threats, we have to be worried about those medical emergencies, … and your school does have a plan."
Lumpkin said people should be prepared to wait some time for new facts in regards to the Sandy Hook massacre.
"This will be a long-term investigation," she said.
Lumpkin also said that, while many attribute school shooting to bullying issues, school shooters aren't always going to be the ones that were bullied. However, bullying prevention in schools is important.
She also encouraged parents to update their student's records if a parent contact number changes, in order for the school to be able to contact them in case they're needed.
"When things occur at our schools, we have to make sure we're getting that information from a credible source," she said, adding that impulsive Facebook posting or Tweeting or the like can cause misinformation and unnecessary panic.
"These are things that nobody thinks are ever going to happen here," said Lumpkin. "It happens everywhere. It's not just Georgia, it's not just high schools, it's not just elementary schools. So don't get that false sense of security. In the last couple of years, most people are becoming more aware that it can happen anywhere."
Jerry Jennings, a Berry College professor and licensed psychologist, said that, from a mental health standpoint, counseling services, bullying prevention strategies and crisis interventions are being exercised actively at Floyd County Schools. He also said when he's asked students if they felt safe in their school environments, the answer was unanimously yes.
However, Jennings stressed that arming teachers and increasing school security to the maximum level so that parents felt better about their children's safety would spark fear and anxiety in the students.
"We've got to find a balance," he said. "We don't want to have too little going on, so we have lock downs and visitors check in at schools … but on the other hand, we could go too far. We could make our schools kind of like a prison where there is very limited access where there's fences around our schools … kids will feel less safe at our schools."
Scotty Hancock, director of the Floyd County Emergency Management Agency, said a school system-wide test of the communication radio emergency buttons worked exceptionally well on Thursday and emphasized that the radios would be tested about every month to ensure they work in case of any crisis.
"We've done school shooting scenarios since the 1990s," he said. "I feel like, as a community, we've been preparing for this. This isn't anything new to us. You don't see us sitting back on our hands waiting for something to happen. We're out there identifying problems and fixing them before they happen."

The Three Elements to a Solid Logo Design Plan
May 24th, 2013Posted in:
Posted in:
Posted in:
I don't like any of the samples I have received! This company must be terrible! Sometimes you can receive a group of samples that just don't appeal to you, it happens. Most of the time a client doesn't know or can't precisely describe what kind of logo he wants or what image he is looking for. For that reason, a good designer will try to question the client as much as possible regarding their preferences and tastes in logos, but this is not always sufficient. Also note that sometimes an idea may seem good at first thought, but looking at the results on paper you could realize that you don't like them at all. It is natural to get upset if you have received a package of samples that don't suit you, but it`s important to understand that since you are not buying a premade product, bad surprises are not impossible nor improbable. Look at a batch of bad initial samples as just another step towards a great final design. It is highly unlikely that you will utterly hate everything about the samples presented. You can pick and combine different elements from them - font, color, object, layout – into one great logo. Even if the samples are really terrible, you could tell the designers precisely what you don't like about them, which will help them avoid similar mistakes in the next samples. A bad batch of samples, depending on your view of it, can be a glass half empty or a glass half full. It's a setback, perhaps, but the second round has a much greater chance of success.

The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR announced the order to be the consideration of the bill [S. 74] to regulate the practice of medicine, the question being on the amendment (by Mr. Garrigus) to Section 6, pending at the last adjournment, requiring graduates of Medical Colleges or Schools to be examined by the Board before being licensed to practice.
The amendment was rejected by yeas, 8; nays, 32.
On motion by Mr. URMSTON, the clause in Section 6, declaring that certificates may be issued to physicians not graduates, who have practiced ten years, was amended by adding the words "consecutively in any one location."
Mr. CHAPMAN moved to strike out of Section 6 the clause reciting that after March 1, 1882, certificates shall be issued to none but graduates in medicine. A just and fair criticism on this bill, that it is largely, if not mainly, in the interest of Medical Colleges in this State. It leaves the question open as to whether this bill does not make a diploma from a Medical College equivalent to a certificate of qualification from the Boards of Medical Examiners provided for in this bill. If that is to be the standard, then that and that alone should be the standard. While he felt as much interest as any one in all the institutions for the education of the people, he objected to throwing around these Colleges a legal safegaurd or requirement that no one shall practice medicine unless he or she pass through a Medical College.
Mr. VAN VORHIS said the friends of the bill would not object to this amendment.
Mr. SPANN, on the ground of justice and equity to practicing physicians, opposed the clause in the bill proposed to be stricken out, and favored the amendment. There ought to be some equitable limit prescribed, and in this bill the lines are not drawn fairly. The title of this bill should be "a bill for an act to furnish students to Medical Colleges."
Mr. COFFEY moved to amend Section 6 so as to include, among those entitled to certificates, those who have attended one full course of lectures in some Medical College,and are engaged in the practice of medicine. He believed that if the people need legislation upon this subject, if practicable, it would be better to enact a law quiring all physician to show by an examination that they are qualified to practice, before licensing them to do so.
Mr. VAN VORHIS understood the provision of the bill to include the persons referred to in amendment.
Mr. WOOLLEN also saw nothing in the objection raised by the author of the amendment.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. SPANN moved to amend the clause in Section 6 authorizing certificates to be issued to physicians not graduates who have practiced ten years, so as as to make it three years instead of ten.
Mr. CHAPMAN favored the amendment. In seven cases out of ten a man will have as good a reputation after practicing three years as after practicing ten. He will not have the experience of course, but he can demonstrate the ability or inability to practice in three years as well as in ten. Ten years is unreasonable, especially since the amendment was adopted requiring the practice to be for that term consecutively in one locality.
Mr. BELL feared the object of some Senators was to tack upon the bill objectionable amendments. He hoped this amendment would be rejected. A man who has not attended lectures is hardly competent to practice in three years; ten years would be better.
page: 213[View Page 213]Mr. SPANN offered this amendment in good faith and at the suggestion of one of the reputable physicians who helped frame this bill. He knew not of a single physician in his County who desired this bill should go upon the statute book.
Mr. YANCEY believed a man incompetent in three years would be incompetent in ten. The practice of medicine requires experence, education and other qualifications. This bill is to protect people against incompetent practitioners of medicine. Because a man has deceived the people for ten or more years, is that any reason why such an one should be allowed to keep up the imposition? This is a gradual emancipation bill and its opponents are not the proper persons from who to expect proper amendments.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. HENRY offered a substitute for Section 6, providing that any person who passes an examination shall receive a certificate to practice medicine. The bill does not properly present the question of qualification; in the term of twelve months it changes, and does not require of a certain class what it did before.
Mr. GRAHAM was convinced from the discussion that the bill is neither satisfactory to the physicians nor to the people of the State. A delegation of doctors have come here from his District to request him to vote against the bill in its present from.
Mr. BUNDY moved to refer the bill and pending amendments to a Special Committee of Five.
Mr. SHAFFER opposed the motion.
The motion was rejected.
Mr. VIEHE made an ineffectual demand for the previous question.
The substitue was rejected by yeas, 19; nays, 25.
Mr. BROWN made an ineffectual motion--yeas, 17; nays, 27--that the bill be ordered engrossed.
Mr. BROWN moved to reconsider the vote adopting the amendment [Mr. Urmston's] adding the words "consecutively in any one location."
Mr. SPANN moved to lay this motion on the table.
Then came the recess till 2 o'clock p. m.

User Experience Customization - the "next big thing" on nanoHUB.
Through usage pattern identification and IP lookup we should improve the user experience and engagement on nanoHUB.
We can:
- students that seem to expose a certain class usage pattern - like freshmen chemistry at northwestern - highlight corresponding teaching items on the nanoHUB. As featured items
- users coming in from a certain location should see maybe a quote from someone they "know" at their location.
- users that are exposing a research behavior pattern should see a featured nanoHUB publication/citation and be encouraged to submit their own publication, so we do not have to hunt it down through google.

Over the past year, we have seen many issues come center stage in the presidential campaign -- including health care, immigration, and women's rights -- but there is still one topic that keeps returning to the headlines: public sector employment and their unions.
The scene was set in Wisconsin: the June 2012 gubernatorial recall election. The months leading up the June 5th special election were flooded with harsh campaigns ads from both sides. Millions of dollars were spent on each side of the battle between Governor Scott Walker trying to hold onto his seat and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Walker's same opponent from the original race during the 2010 midterm election. (However, a lot more of the money for Walker came from outside of the state and from a few wealthy guys giving generous donations. But that's another story.) The reason the recall even happened at all was because of the public sector unions. In order to improve the economic situation in his state, Walker made drastic cuts to the education budget and had an agenda to end collective bargaining rights for state workers.
This caused much uproar with huge protests around the state, including many at the capitol. What made it such a popular race to observe -- probably considered the most important election of the year after the presidential one -- is that it pitted the unions and (most) middle class workers against corporate America. Walker was only able to win for two reasons: 1. He had a lot of money available to him; and, and more importantly 2. He was able to make his opponent seem to be solely backed by the unions, as a union candidate rather than a Democratic candidate. But the problem with that is that many unions are misunderstood and misrepresented.
Organized unions have been acquiring a bad reputation ever since Senator McCarthy's Red Scare in the 1950s. Even though they have changed (mostly for the better) since then, unions are generalized as communist, power-hungry groups which only care about themselves and not the company or place where they are employed. Even if it might have once been the slightest bit true, that is certainly not the case anymore. Keep in mind: public sector workers (i.e. policemen, firefighters, teachers, etc.) mostly unionize to get fair wages and protect their rights.
Let's take an imaginary visit to a local school, and look in on a teacher's classroom. With economic downturn (though the economy is slowly improving) still hitting local and state budgets, many unfair and severe cuts have been made to the education costs for municipalities and individual schools. Funding for extracurricular programs, like the theater and arts, sports, and clubs, has all but vanished. If there are any programs left, they often don't receive funding from the school. Resources are so scarce that it has come down to many teachers to purchase classroom supplies with their own money.
So in this local school, in the teacher's classroom, we see pencils and other items that the teacher bought with her (or his) own money to make sure they are available to all their students. We're cutting school budgets to help solve the problem, but part of the problem to begin with is the lack of a sufficient education. If students are provided an opportunity to learn and have the materials they need to succeed, then they are more likely to be successful throughout their academic career and in the workplace. But, for now, teachers are paying for many of their classroom supplies and, because of that, they have less to spend on groceries and in other private sector businesses. So, if public sector employees lose their benefits and have cuts to their budgets (police and firefighters included), they are less likely to be willing to spend their hard-earned money unless it is something they actually need. They have money, but they are just more cautious in their purchases.
It should be obvious that there are still many tough budget decisions to be made in households, in schools, and in many other places. We all do and believe in what each of us think is best. Whether it's providing the best education possible to our children, or keeping our families safe and protecting us from criminals, or stopping our houses from burning down (to name a few), public sector employees always do what is in the best interest of our communities and country, not what is best for corporate America. So, please, think twice before condemning public sector employees. Sure they are paid with our tax dollars, but they realize and appreciate that and do all they can to make sure public monies are spent wisely.

Comments about HP 05A (CE505A) Black LaserJet Toner Cartridge:
I use a lot of these cartridges and really like the double pack. When Staples has their specials for two cartridges, I wish they would count a double as pack as two. I might even buy two of the two packs then.
My printer requries this cartridge

About Me Frequent User
I don't know what to compare it to, so I would take this with a grain of salt, but it costs around $100 and lasts about a month for me. I am a Realtor working at home so it does get a work out, but I also have a second printer at home and a printer at the office so is hard to gauge its efficiency on number of sheets per price.
Pricey refill
By Lilred

This cartridge is expensive typically in the $90 range. If you use it everyday for your business, I am the only employee, it will last a couple of months.

If I had know this printer was going to eat up expensive cartridges I would NEVER have purchased it. The printer is great; too bad the cartridges stink - very disappointd. Can anyone recommend a printer that provides cartridge efficiency AND quality copies?????
