Draw Something updated to make it more stable?
Draw Something, Zynga's social doodling phenomenon, has been updated to version 1.0.13. This latest patch comes without a change log, but based on recent grumbling and poor reviews on its download page, it's likely that it resolves stability issues with the popular game. There's been a slew of reports of the game freezing and being over all buggy.
If you have the free, ad-supported version of Draw Something offered to Nokia Lumia owners, then this update is not for you. Only the pay-to-play version found in the Windows Phone Store is affected.
Windows Phone users and critics alike waited a long time for Draw Something, along with Zynga's other wildly popular game Words With Friends, to come to Windows Phone, and many used them as a measure of just how successful Microsoft's mobile OS was at any given time. Having finally arrived, it was disappointing to see Draw Something be so buggy. Hopefully, with this latest update, the stability woes draw to an end.
You can get Draw Something here for $2.99.
Thanks for the tip, Ismael!

Might download it now... Waiting to see these comments.
Winning Guy says:
No fix for free version. Bummer.
jsnod25 says:
Zynga is not making a good product on WP platform... Words with Friends is garbage compared to Spell It. The only reason spell it isn't worth playing is the lack of cross platform capability. If I could play my friends and family on spell it, words with friends would be uninstalled. I'm not happy with Zyngas performance on the WP platform so far. They to stop porting and write it from scratch.
DaveGx says:
I really hope it helps. Also waiting for the free version update.
Enjoy this game, if they iron out bugs and problems it'll be great to try and play again
mamilo1 says:
I have the paid version. The biggest problem I had was when I erased with an iOS player it filled with black ink for them. So basically, they couldn't figure out half of my drawings.
weetigo says:
I have a couple dead games playing on the Nokia release but I am not sure if its worth picking up this commercial version. Does it fix the errors? zynga's been really great about responding and saying to be patient.
phirefly says:
It's much better now, the Facebook integration actually works without just crashing for me. I'm playing some games to see if it functions any better overall but just the not crashing immediately is a huge plus.
btbam91 says:
I have a problem trying to play with my gf. We both get an error message "the other player is not accepting invites right now" or something along those lines.
btbam91 says:
oops double post
isi mcf says:
Congrats to the buyers, maybe I need to bite and just buy it
kevin2577 says:
Sad that this is good news to report, but on my device it now launches games without crashing, previously it would crash immediately after launching anything other than game settings. So I guess that's progress, from completely nonfunctional to functional
Dodge99X says:
Finally!!! I had three games that were unplayable before and now I can play these games as if it never happened. It's also faster and smoother too. Hopefully it won't give me trouble anymore.
waym1962 says:
This game is buggy on every platform. I've had games on my android tablet close everytime you enter the last letter of your answer. My gf has had the same thing happen on her iPod. I also get messages saying players aren't accepting games even when I know they are. I like the game but it's buggy no matter what device your using.
DiegoMoBa says:
The bug on which the game freezes when's the opponent is trying to guess the drawing is fixed, so yeah its playable now
WPenvy says:
Um... I'm not seeing Any of the Angry Birds games in the Nokia collection... Just the Roost app which makes me try or buy the games. None are free. -L920
apocacrux says:
I don't think there was ever supposed to be a free angry birds, but the Star Wars and perhaps even Space were exclusive to Lumias, to buy.
Syneidesis says:
You can buy them on any WP8 device, not just Lumias. I have both on my 8X.
Jips says:
Still buggy. The ios version is silky smooth. This is very poor. At least it has freed up my long standing game of 180
Localhorst86 says:
people still play that game?
PeterFnet says:
I'm not being offered the option to update. I already bought it and have it installed.
Emerald Thales says:
Slow loading time, but fixed the bug that would cause the game to freeze while watching opponent guess if your opponent guessed wrong
Shiroi says:
This issue just got itself fixed with the update. At least with what I have observed with mine. It was really annoying since the bug only happened with my real-life friends.
Shiroi says:
My stuck games are finally working again!
Martinspire says:
The big issue i had was that my friend was guessing my words normally but when looking it back it showed all kinds of weird letters and the game wouldn't continue as it wasn't guessed correctly (but it actually was). So i hope i can continue these games again.
Another issue is that te game loads pretty slow on my Omnia 7, so it is best to just leave it on if your buddy is also online
lordofthereef says:
This seems to be a common trend. Pay to play versions are seeing updates sooner. Aren't they the same thing, just with ad support in one of them? What, technically, if anything, is the cause of the trend?
Miistercoool says:
Omg I was thanked for the tip :D :D :D I love wpcentral!
PeterFnet says:
Update has been pulled
inteller says:
absolute rubbish that just because it is free, we should have to suffer with no updates when it is the same frickin code base.
WaywardBus says:
Too little too late.
laserfloyd says:
Really don't see the major appeal. It's ok at first but it's really clunky feeling. I also had the erase=black while playing with an iOS user. I'd say it's "OK" but nothing special. Free version is worth getting but I wouldn't pay for it.

TORRINGTON >> With kindergarten registration just months away, the Torrington Early Childhood Collaborative sought to give parents more of a head start for their children as they enter school.
Subsequently, the sixth annual Kindergarten Readiness Fair took place on Saturday morning, as agencies, schools and health care providers all gathered in the Torringford School gym and cafeteria to provide parents with all the resources they would need. Gathering that many entities together in one room would offer not only a chance for parents to get familiar with the schools their children will attend — all of Torrington's elementary schools were represented — but also vision and dental screenings.
"This is a pilot year to see if we can engage families to register earlier," said Donna Labbe of the TECC.
For the past five years, the TECC has held their Kindergarten Readiness Fair in March or April, giving parents short notice of what schools will expect from their incoming students. Labbe said the TECC pushed the fair back to January to give parents more time to seek whatever health care may be merited, as well as other instructional needs.
"We just wanted to raise the awareness of kindergarten expectations early on," Labbe said.
Deb Thompson of the Family Resource Council seconded Labbe's assessment, remarking that the earlier start gave them the opportunity to begin registering children at the fair. Thompson was unsure how many children had registered at the fair, but called the event a "great time" — in part because of the DJ, who kept the energy and attention of children up.
The earlier start also saw a record number of attendees, according to Labbe. While Labbe did not have the final attendance numbers at press time, the estimated total would have easily topped previous numbers.
"We're definitely over 100 this year," said Labbe.
Aside from the agencies and health care providers, town and state officials such as Torrington mayor Ryan Bingham, state representatives Michelle Cook and Roberta Willis, police officers and firefighters read to the children at the fair. Labbe noted that at least one fortunate new kindergarten student could go to their first day of school in style, as all new kindergarten students are entered in a raffle to win a trip to school on a Torrington Fire Department truck.
"It really is the community coming together to help children and families," Labbe said.

HAWTHORNE -- A reportedly drunken 21-year-old motorist from Redondo Beach is suspected of running over and killing a woman pedestrian. The man turned himself in an hour later, and faces drunken driving and other felony charges, a police lieutenant said Saturday.
Ryan Mascioni, a resident of Redondo Beach, was allegedly behind the wheel of an Audi that sped past vehicles which had stopped for the woman in the 13000 block of Hawthorne Boulevard at about 11 p.m. Friday, said Hawthorne police Lt. Scott Swain.
The woman was trying to cross the northbound lanes of Hawthorne Boulevard in the rain, and a car in the middle of three lanes stopped for her. As the woman entered the third lane, closest to the curb, she was struck by a speeding yellow Audi, witnesses said.
After striking the woman, the vehicle smashed into two parked vehicles before it was driven away. A witness at the crash described the car to police.
Paramedics rushed the pedestrian, a woman, to Harbor General Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, Swain said.
About an hour after the crash, Mascioni turned himself into the sheriff's Lawndale station.
The name of the woman will be released pending notification of next of
kin, Swain said.

Painting Maps In The Big Boy's Bedroom
I printed several maps depicting areas of the globe and showed them to Max. He selected his favorites and I pulled out the paint brushes.
Using a dark paint Alaska was outlined with a small painters brush.
Then Canada was added.
Followed by Greenland and Iceland. Max's reaction after arriving home from school: "Greenland is icy and Iceland is not." Okay...smarty pants.
After the outlines were complete the land areas were painted a couple shades darker than the wall color.
Next, on to another wall and Australia. I hope to finish this project quickly, otherwise I'll have one disappointed boy!

Erika, VERY good idea! Great advice for anyone wanting to do a similar project. But I figured I'd spend more time just tracking down a projector. Besides, my BFA is in painting, if I can't paint a map after years of art school I'm in trouble! I can just imagine my professors "constructive" criticism! Yikes!

The Japanese attack killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II.
At the Rochester Yacht Club Friday morning, Pearl Harbor survivors, servicemen and women and their families gathered for a ceremony to honor those lost that day. They commemorated their sacrifices and want to remind everyone about what it means to serve our country.
They observed a moment of silence and tossed a wreath into the water.
Stanley Hwalek, a Pearl Harbor survivor, said, "Remember what happened, the sacrifice that was made in those days. Not only by the military but all the civilians, everything, we all came together, the whole country, and we blew through, we won the war."
More than 2,000 service members and 49 civilians died in the Pearl Harbor attack.

New CFO Brings Extensive Operational Scaling, Financial Management Experience to Role
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Relay Foods, the company that makes shopping online for local and organic foods, gourmet items, artisan baked goods and pantry staples quick and easy, is pleased to welcome Jill Douthit to the team as the company's new chief financial officer. Douthit, who has extensive experience managing corporate finances and operations in the tech and consumer retail sectors, will drive Relay Foods' financial strategy as the company executes its expansion plans.
With a talent for positioning companies to scale up operations and thrive in high-growth mode, Douthit is an ideal fit for Relay Foods, which expanded into two new markets (the D.C. metro area and Baltimore, MD) last year and will continue to grow rapidly throughout 2012 (and beyond). Douthit has demonstrated the ability to generate and capitalize on business analytics and develop high-performance teams, skills that will serve her well in her new CFO role.
"One advantage to our expansion into new markets is a higher profile at our headquarters location in Charlottesville," noted Zach Buckner, Relay Foods founder and CEO. "That gives us the ability to attract talent like Jill, and we look forward to working with her as we position Relay Foods to transform the industry."
Prior to joining Relay Foods, Douthit served as vice president of finance at a software-as-a-service provider, where she led key business transformation projects, and as finance director at that firm's parent company. Before that, Douthit excelled in a variety of leadership roles at a procurement and supply chain management enterprise serving the hospitality industry, where she handled mission-critical audit and pricing initiatives.
Douthit's earlier career experience includes a planning and forecasting role with a major North American retail company and associate and analyst positions with a private equity fund. Douthit holds an MBA from the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia and a BA from Yale University.
Relay Foods is changing the way people approach eating by offering a sustainable, time-saving way to access local goods and obtain staples. Find out more about Relay Foods at www.relayfoods.com.

A Phoenician trading-post that served as an outlet for the products of the African hinterland, Sabratha was part of the short-lived Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa before being Romanized and rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D.
Comptoir phénicien drainant les produits de l'Afrique intérieure, Sabratha fit partie de l'éphémère royaume numide de Massinissa avant d'être romanisée et reconstruite aux IIe et IIIe siècles.
كانت سبراطة مركزًا تجاريًا فينيقيًا لمرور منتجات أفريقيا الداخلية وشكلت جزءًا من المملكة النوميدية الزائلة في ماسّينيسّا قبل أن تتحول إلى رومانية ويعاد بناؤها في القرنين الثاني والثالث.
Сабрата - финикийская торговая фактория, которая служила для вывоза товаров из глубины Африки, - входила в состав недолговечного Нумидийского царства Массиниссы, а в II-III вв. была перестроена древними римлянами.
Factoría fenicia a la que confluían los productos del interior del continente africano, Sabratha formó parte del efímero reino númida de Masinisa, antes de ser romanizada y reconstruida en los siglos II y III de nuestra era.
A Phoenician trading-post of the Tripolitanian coast, Sabratha funnelled the products of Africa to the Gulf of the Lesser Syrtis, thanks to the route linking it to the continent via Cydamus (now Ghadamès). It was part of the short-lived Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa, together with Leptis and Oea, before being Romanized and absorbed into the Roman province of Africa, and subsequently rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
Sabratha enjoyed its greatest prosperity during the 2nd and 3rd centuries. This period saw the construction of grandiose monuments, of which the most renowned is that of the theatre, probably built during the reign of the Emperor Commodus (AD 161-92), with its three orders of columns of the frons scenae.
The best conserved part is the scena, recomposed with original fragments and subdivided on three levels with overlapping marble columns. The theatre had a capacity of 5,000 seats. The pulpitum has a series of decorations in bas-relief representing divinity, historical and theatrical scenes, and a series of rectangular and semicircular niches. In the central niche stands the goddess Rome with helm and shield, dressed like an Amazon. On her flank there is another divinity that represents Sabratha.
Near the theatre stands the amphitheatre with the arena where once the gladiators faced the ferocious wild animals, fighting until death. The underground corridors that were used in order to make enter can still be seen.
Other monuments and areas of interest include the Temple of Liber Pater, Basilica of Justinian, and Mosaics of the House of Jason Magnus, Capitolium, Temple of Serapis, Temple of Hercules and Temple of Isis.
The decline of Sabratha began with the 4th century: commerce with Africa was less active, the city was wracked by religious quarrels, and much of the city was destroyed by earthquakes, particularly that of AD 365. A rebuilding programme followed but the city was now to occupy a much smaller area. The Vandals invaded Sabratha in 455 and tore down its walls. The Byzantine reconquest did not, however, mark the beginning of a real renaissance and the city was definitively abandoned after the Arab invasions of the 7th and 11th centuries.
Two museums on the site house objects found during excavations, such as funerary objects, coins, china, mosaics from the Byzantine period, statues from the Roman era and Phoenician relics.

The same tools and techniques that are used to raise awareness of new commercial products can be adopted to raise awareness of change and learning initiatives. Communication initiatives such as online trailers, teasers and tasters can help ensure that learners know what's coming and why it will be important for them to complete any training. The design of communications initiatives is different from the design of e-learning. E-learning tends to be at least ten minutes in length, often longer; it goes into content in some depth and detail; it highlights knowledge and best practice, and is designed to help change behavior. Communications pieces tend to be short: less than five minutes, often less than one minute. Communications pieces also need to have high impact through the design – which might be an audio/visual element, a game or an innovative idea. The key is that they have something which makes them memorable. View some examplesAt Kineo our creative team loves to help clients with their marketing and communications. Below are some examples.

Chillul Tefila Bifarhesia, as well as halachicly challenged verbiage and dress, are external manifestations of a critical lack of personal yiras shomayim which has lethal consequences.
That is the cornerstone of all religious belief. It comes from the Hebrew Bible, and there is nothing old about it.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, popular speaker and bestselling author (his upcoming book is "The Broken American Male"), has just launched The Jewish Values Network. His website is www.shmuley.com.
About the Author: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, "America's Rabbi" whom the Washington Post calls "the most famous Rabbi in America," is the international best-selling author of 29 books, including The Fed-up Man of Faith: Challenging God in the Face of Tragedy and Suffering. Follow him on Twitter @RabbiShmuley.

France 2 and Enderlin must have their press accreditation revoked and be thrown out of Israel.
Slaughter is a routine, widespread practice among many Moslem families.
parently an affront to J Street's worldview, the focus of which appears to be the creation of a Palestinian State, whether or not that will bring peace.
The importance of the caucus on organ harvesting in China, sponsored recently by the Liberal Lobby in the Knesset, cannot be exaggerated.
My mother, the eldest daughter of Reb Yaakov Kamenetsky, zt"l, was niftar last month at the age of 92. She took her last breath in her home in Efrat, Israel, next door to the shul that was my father's for 24 years before his passing in 2007.
It comes down to his being famous.
Following the Boston Marathon bombing, one crucial point will likely remain overlooked. The most loathsome aspect of this or any other terror bombing attack on civilians will always lie in the inexpressibility of physical pain. While all decent people will abhor the idea of bombs expressly directed at the innocent, whether here or in other countries, none will ever be able to process the very deepest horrors of what has been inflicted.
It's only natural to see increasing evidence of Jerusalem's glorious Jewish past being unearthed, quite literally, under modern Israeli sovereignty. The new archaeological finds are also very timely – as the Arab onslaught attempting to detach Jerusalem from its Jewish roots gains steam, the facts on the ground, or "under" the ground, show quite otherwise.
The Talmud (Berachot 26b) says, "tefillot avot tiknum" – "prayer was established by the avot." The Talmud then uses the following verse (Bereshit 19:27) to prove how Avraham established prayer: "Vayaskem Avraham baboker el hamakom asher amad sham et pnei Hashem" – "And Avraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God."
Nearly 13 years ago, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak journeyed to Camp David to end the conflict with the Palestinians. With the approval of President Clinton, he offered Yasir Arafat an independent Palestinian state in almost all of the West Bank, Gaza and in part of Jerusalem. Arafat said no.
The news that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative groups has brought renewed spotlight on a 2010 lawsuit filed by the pro-Israel group Z Street, which alleges it was also singled out by the IRS when applying for tax-exempt status.
In an editorial last week ("Circling the Wagons") we noted the efforts by the administration and its supporters to dismiss allegations that the government's spin on the Benghazi attack was designed to shield the president and that the IRS was improperly used to stifle opposition to Mr. Obama's reelection.
As the controversies besetting the Obama administration continue to grow in number and intensity, the prospect that President Obama would seriously consider military action against Iran, should that country continue its drive to become a nuclear power, becomes more and more remote. So we welcome the current enhancement of sanctions against Iran on the federal and New York State levels.
To his parents' friends, he was "Mrs. Greenberg's disgrace," but to sports fans he is one of the greatest – if not the greatest – Jewish baseball players of all time. Long before Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg excited Jewish sports fans with his prowess on the baseball diamond.
Are we to believe that these Jews who were devout and pious were being punished?
The growing revelations that the Obama State Department watered down public statements on the attack in order to cleanse them of any mention of al Qaeda and terrorism is a travesty.
When in 1948 President Harry Truman recognized the new Jewish State of Israel, Einstein declared it 'the fulfillment of our dream.'
In the Hebrew Bible everyone is flawed and everyone makes mistakes.
Forgetting how to hate can be just as damaging as forgetting how to love.
Let us also not forget that Adelson criticized many of the social values of the Republican Party before it became fashionable to do so.
Whatever your feelings about how permissive or repressed our society is, certainly not in the 60's, 70's, 80's ,or 90's was the sexualization of women this young.
Through the process of the ten plagues, the Jews saw the Egyptians for what they were, just another group of petrified humans.

I was going through our inventory recently and came across this fascinating Extended Battery Case which comes in seven colors. I decided to make a review on this product and share my thoughts. Firstly, being an iPhone owner, I know how obsessed I am with my phone and how many hours I spend going through all the apps, videos, and music. There are "hard core" users, and then there are real hard core users like me that drain the battery faster than anyone. It is those crucial times that I actually need the phone to have enough battery life to last through an important phone call or keep me entertained while I sit on a three hour train ride that I begin to realize how badly I need a travel outlet. Imagine how excited I was to see this neat piece in my hands. In a nutshell, you charge this case ahead of time (with or without the iPhone in it), and whenever your phone is low on battery you turn the switch on in the bottom of the case and it will charge your phone. On the back you press a little black button and you can see how much power is left in the case. The case is ultra slim and isn't very bulky and the feel of the case is smooth and nice to the touch. My only dislike is the buttons on the side that are exposed. Some people like it. I personally like it covered up. The case is very nice. It is more useful than you can imagine. It's like having a spare battery wherever you go without having to worry that your phone will die on you.
For those of you who like your cases and do not want to switch to another case, All4Cellular carries other products that allow you to have a backup battery on the go. There's the Ultrapower Stitchway Backup Charger which connects straight to your phone. It is a bit big, but it can fit into most bag pocket with ease. Another option is the Power Bank Lipstick Backup Charger. It is a port that will charge any USB. It is smaller. It's the size of a lipstick. Both the stitchway and the lipstick backup come in different colors for all you self-expressers who like to have a splash of color.
