Quite a lot of new bloggers still find it difficult getting their google adsense account approved due to one reason or the other. Lots of people get desperate typing search queries in google such as google adsense approval trick, 24hrs google adsense approval and so on. Lots of people even paid some individuals in a bid to buy an already approved google adsense account. It's undisputed that google adsense remains the easiest way to monetize a blog and for this reason, there's so much clamor just to get an approval from google. In recent times, google adsense team even tightens up the approval thingy by making it a two-stage process.
Just of recent, thousands of publishers were banned from the adsense program and lots of hopes were dashed. Some of my friends in bloggers lab on facebook were affected by the massive ban. Relating closely with some of them made me realize most of the banned accounts were approved through third party sites. You can apply through some third party sites and get your google adsense account approved but I never wrote about any of these sites once. I'm quite aware of them but i never considered them a good option because it all looks shady. Some of these sites include:
1. Fixya
2. Hubpages
3. Docstoc
4. Indyarocks
They are all independent publishing platforms where you can get your google adsense account approved in 24 hours, or even less, and I'm not implying that all accounts approved through third party sites always get banned eventually, I'm only saying it's not such a good idea getting your adsense approved via third party sites. The adsense team always review sites from time to time and any discrepancy might make your already approved account get suspended.
To get your blog approved by google directly, you can follow these guidelines:
1. Give your blog some time to grow, I suggest three months and be sure you have a decent traffic. A couple of hundred pageviews daily gives you a better chance
2. If you're on blogspot, you have a better chance of getting approved with a custom domain but that doesn't mean you won't get approved with a blogspot sub domain either.
3. You should have up to 20-30 original posts/pages. Copying contents from other blogs won't get you anywhere.
4. Your design also matters. Be sure your blog's is designed in a way to make it look attractive. A blog with poorly arranged widgets scattered everywhere doesn't stand much chance.
5. I suggest you shouldn't have ads from other advertising companies like bidvertiser or chikita running on your blog when google comes to certify your blog. It's only a suggested precaution though.
6. Be sure your blog complies with google's terms of service. Your blog posts must not be based on topics not allowed by google such as, hacking, pornography, drugs, ammunition, warez, cracks, keygens and so on.
With the tips above taken into practice, I'm sure your adsense account will be approved and in case they reject your application, you can always try again. I know those who applied up to five times before getting approved. Good luck!

The Great Pinball Craigslist Hunt
Part of being a pinhead is tracking down the games we know and love. Whether you're a "project" person or a "collector quality"-only type of guy or gal, the hunt is one of the thrills of the hobby. And like any other type of hunt we must have proper hunting tools and a hunting ground.
By far the best hunting ground is that of fellow collectors. Pinball owners are always fighting their main nemesis — space. That means that every so many months they are looking to circulate an old game for something new again. Usually, the best deals are found from fellow collectors and local communities. Then there are pinball classified sites, the fee-hungry eBay and lastly (in the eyes of many) Craigslist.
Craigslist can be a scary place. To quote Obi Wan, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." I'm sure that's been the case with many buying and selling experiences. Still, there's no better place to stumble upon that deal or a steal — if you know what your looking for, have a half tank of gas, and can respond to a new posting within a handful of minutes. And thus begins… the hunt!
The beauty and curse of Craigslist is that it's divided into little territories. And that can be an awful lot of legwork to keep on top of new postings (unless you live in a large city). The first thing is to decide what your territory will be. How far are you willing to strike out to claim your kill?
The next is to use a scouting service. Something that will give you all you need in one place — instead of hitting individual Craigslist sites all around your area. I highly recommend www.SearchTempest.com. It's a simple website, really. You plug in your zip code, what you're searching for, and how far you want it to search in miles. It then pulls frames of each Craigslist site with your search words into a page for casual scrolling. Easy peasy.
The next step is defining what you want. You can eliminate a lot of time and hassle by customizing a great search string. Some easy tips: if you want to combine words to search separately (for example, if I want to search for "arcade" and "pinball" with the same search, but not pull results that only had both words) use the | symbol in between them. Next, get rid of all the trash that you usually encounter when you search for those words by putting the negative (-) sign in front of it. Common nuisances will be "xbox," "360," "ps3″ and "ds." Now the search results will pull in anything except those posts that contain those nuisance words. This is also helpful for your local Craigslist spammer (doesn't everyone have them?) who likes to post daily about his termite-ridden collection of barn games. A common search string that I like to use is:
pinball | arcade -xbox -ps3 -ds
There you go. Now you can quickly find your kill. The rest is really up to you. Good luck and happy hunting!

Answering for Bias in the Workplace: Research on Ethnicity and Perceptions of Contribution Reveal Some Key Requirements for Overcoming Bias
McKeown, Eileen, Talent Development
Demographic variables of race and ethnicity affect perceptions of contribution and inherent value of direct reports or individual contributors by managers in the workplace, according to a report by global talent research firm Novations Group.
In the study "Reducing the Effects of Bias in the Workplace," participating managers were asked to rank their direct reports in terms of contribution and performance based on the Four Stages of Contribution Model: stage
1--contributing dependently, stage
2--contributing independently, stage
3--contributing through others, and stage 4--contributing strategically. Direct reports were also asked to complete the same survey, providing their own assessment of their contribution. That's where the disconnect occurred.
Managers' perceptions of their direct reports were higher in stage 1, while direct reports generally rated themselves as contributing more in stages 2 and 3. The largest discrepancy in manager and direct report self ratings was for Asian employees, who saw their contribution much more in stage 2 (11.3 percent difference) and stage 3 (19.1 percent difference) than did their managers.
The study also found that managers rate the contributions of African American professionals at 42.5 percent in stage 1, while African Americans see their contributions in stage 2 (46.2 percent). These differences are significant and can affect how managers actually position an African American employee or direct report for promotion, the study suggests. This will further impact or limit their future level of influential contribution within the organization.
"Managers need to recognize the importance of proactively reaching out to their diverse team members," says Paul Terry, co-author of the report. "Managers cannot assume that everyone 'gets the message' in the same way and the same channels. …

Magnifier, Hastings Triplet 10X for printers and photo engravers
Unique three-element design provides the ultimate in distortion free, color-correct viewing, facilitating reduction or elimination of "pin cushion" distortion and chromatic and spherical aberrations. Two concave meniscus elements are cemented to a double convex lens, then mounted with threaded retaining rings in a machined black anodized metal cell which swing into a protective case. The case doubles as a handle for viewing.
We caution buyers that laws of physics dictate that both the diameter and working distance of a magnifier must decline as power increases. Accordingly, the 10X system, while an excellent high-power magnifier, is relatively small and has a short working distance. The next step from the 10X Hastings is a full microscope.

FITC Mobile's Unofficial Keynote Address - State of the Mobile Nation
Shawn Pucknell, the program lead of the FITC Mobile development conference didn't schedule a single unifying session for those in attendance. FITC Mobile did bring a terrific conclusion to Toronto's Second annual Mobile Innovation Week, with its sessions covering everything from advanced Android development to stories about iPad DJs.
As mentioned, there was no scheduled session to act as a unifying keynote at FITC, but one did take place. Thomas Purves presented a session titled "Canada's State of the Mobile Nation – 2010," which gave a 45 minute long snapshot of exactly what is happening in regards to the Canadian mobile industry and market. Tom has generously provided his sides, which are more do a great job of convey a great amount of extremely relevant and current data.
Tom made a few very important points that may note be not clear in his slides. First, cell phones and even mobile data connections are rarely considered luxuries anymore and we should begin considering them instead as utilities. Second, Telcos are in the business of leasing handsets – it's new smartphones that sells plans these days. Finally, upon moving to 4G systems, there is no reason other than to maximize profits to offer anything but a data connection – AKA dumb pipes.
Tom's presentation is available online here.

Guy Lucas de Peslouan. Although you may not immediately recognize the name, this extremely talented individual is single-handedly responsible for so many of the photos of some of the world's most desired timepieces, including offerings from brands such as Richard Mille, Thomas Prescher, Audemars Piguet and Van Cleef & Arpels that you would almost certainly already be familiar with his work, even if you didn't know it. Not only an internationally praised photographer, he has also co-authored 6 major books on the most prestigious brands of the watchmaking industry, illustrating again and again that he is one of the most talented photographers in his field in Europe.
It was truly a pleasure therefore, when we were granted the opportunity to meet and have a drink with him in a cosy lobby in Paris, a few meters down from the Place Vendôme. This was our chance, we hoped, to learn more about this rather remarkable individual.
And we were not disappointed.
At the beginning of this year Guy successfully published his second book on Richard Mille, and so this seemed a good a place as any to start exploring his exceptional career.
"Richard wanted something unconventional, with very little text, and mainly focused on the technique and architecture of his watches. As soon as he saw the first shots, he gave me free reign to work."
Richard Mille Pignons © Guy Lucas de Peslouan
TWL : Surely it must have been near impossible to capture accurately the detail of the incredibly tiny parts that operate within these Racing Machines ?
GL : Indeed, some parts are immeasurably small ! That's the very specificity of my job in horology, especially compared with jewelery where creations are, for most part, at the scale of the centimeter. The other challenge lies with the materials themselves and the angles. Gold, titanium, platinum, etc., react in different ways to the light. Some parts of the watches have curves that, combined with these materials, are a real challenge to shoot. I remember in particular a piece from Laurent Ferrier whose horns gave me a great deal of difficulty !
TWL : How do you capture these stunning images?
GL : A Nikon D3X. I've always been a Nikon man. It's a 24.5 million pixels camera, that I bundle with a macro 105 mm lens with a constant opening at 2.8. Before that, I used to work with a D2X, but it was only capable of 12 million pixels. Today I have two times that, files are bigger and clients can easily plan other uses than pure commercial shots, for instance, including advertising and everything in large format.
Honestly, Canon had on display a 21 million pixel camera two years before Nikon, but not all the cameras are compatible with all lenses. With a Nikon, I can chose any lens I want and bundle it with any camera, even from the 50's !

TWL : Technology these days has made it far easier for more and more people to retouch and alter photos. Do you think that, someday, the photo itself will simply become a starting point, easily modifiable by anyone with Photoshop ?
GL : This is the age old question! These days, indeed, we have to admit that young Artistic Directors think right from the beginning in terms of Photoshop. They have less and less appreciation for photographic culture, and, actually, I think we won't ever get back to the earlier days. Nevertheless, what makes the difference in an accomplished artwork of photography is the way you envision the picture right from the beginning as it should be in the end, and not as you could possibly transform it with the use of software.
Moreover, I'm in favor of allowing pictures to have some flaws, as this gives life to them, and in my opinion makes them more authentic. Like the traditional watchmakers I work with, I am a craftsman of photography.
Lastly, no matter how much artificial work is done, there are still some things that 3D simply can't recreate.
A close-up of Thomas Prescher's mind-blowing triple-axis tourbillon © Guy Lucas de Peslouan
TWL : When did you switch to a digital camera?
GL : Precisely when I started in horology. Some parts are so small that I needed a high level of zoom, which was impossible with silver photography as, if I zoomed in beyond a certain point picture would become too grainy. With the digital technology, I can zoom without any limit.
TWL : No regrets with silver ?
GL : They are different universes, with different uses. Digital can't deal with too much contrast in a picture, that's why it's highly recommended for horology. On the contrary, jewelery pieces display multiples reflections due to the presence of precious stones, that's why I prefer silver photography for them. In fact, some clients, such as Cartier, expressly ask me to work with silver, this is not a coincidence.
Dazzling – Boucheron's Montre Snake © Guy Lucas de Peslouan
TWL : To what degree do you retouch your own pictures ?
GL : I'm not a specialist in computer graphics. I will do most of the corrections and editions by myself, but when it becomes too complicated, I will call in a professional to help me. I'm still using the CS3, and, like many, I only use 25% of its capacities !
TWL : Who would you like to work with next ?
GL : Lange & Söhne, for the timeless elegance of their pieces. Amongst major brands, Jaeger-LeCoultre. And amongst the independent watchmakers, Roger Smith.
Capturing the simplistic sophistication of De Bethune © Guy Lucas de Peslouan
TWL : You're a critical link in the chain of horological communication. How do you think this area should continue to evolve?
GL : There is a fundamental shift to the watchmakers themselves that needs to take place, their job, the very core of their creations. We can't be satisfied with just product-based communication any more, it has to be linked with their creators. Each brand has its own personality, most of the time inspired by its respective creator. Mille has very technical, masculine brand positioning, De Béthune is imbued with style and sensuality, and so on. I like to switch from one universe to another, but it's critical that it's personified.
Some brands have already taken the first steps, like Vacheron Constantin who focused specifically on the jobs of lacquering, or Van Cleef & Arpels that did an important work on "dressing" its watches with jewellery parts.
Big brands are locked into their own image and territory of communication, which is like and uncrossable boundary to them for fear that their clients won't be able to associate with the brand any more. The problem is that clients get change, and so too must the brand.
Independent watchmakers have this freedom of communication, and they have to take it. If they want to be there in the next couple of years, it's now or never.

My first grade daughter has been bringing a swim bag to camp most days this summer -- it was one of those tchotchkes that I got at an industry event. So last weekend she was getting ready to go to a swim birthday party and asked, "Mom, where's my Google bag?"
I stopped dead in my tracks and said, "Honey, it's a Yahoo! bag."
"Oh yeah, that's right. Well, do you know where it is?"
My daughter is your typical Silicon Valley kid who knows how to use the Internet, can type in URLs, and has heard me and my husband talk endlessly about companies like Google and Yahoo!. What struck me dumb was that even though she was carrying around this large purple swim bag emblazoned with Yahoo!'s name on it all summer, she thought it was her Google bag. It's incredible to me that the Google brand carries such weight that it became top of mind for my six year old.
Just to double check, I asked her later if she knew what the difference was between Google and Yahoo. "Yahoo! is the place where you go to play games (she uses Yahooligans)," while "Google is what shows up on your screen when something doesn't work." (Google is the default search engine on the kids' computer so it appears to the side of the Web browser when a page can't be found). My son (a second grader) chimed in that Google was good for finding stuff you needed to know about, while Yahoo! was the place you go to find pictures, play games, and check your email.
So while Yahoo! doesn't appear to be top of mind for my daughter, she definitely has a more positive opinion of Yahoo! than of Google. There's hope yet for Yahoo! to win the mind as well as the heart of my daughter.
What struck me is that my informal, anecdotal survey of my children closely mirrors the brand perception of the major portals. Hitwise recently published some data about the brand attributes of three major search engines – Google, Yahoo!, and MSN (collectively known as GYM). Hitwise took the top twenty search queries across all search engines that contained the name of these three sites to gauge their respective brand attributes. Hitwise GM Bill Tanner wrote:
Google's queries center on finding things, be that information, geographical location or multimedia content. This confirms what we've seen with our breakdown post, that Google, despite building some very attractive "portal-like" tools, maintains in consumers minds as a brand that helps you locate things.
Yahoo! in contrast, demonstrates a clear portal identity with well rounded interest on a variety of their channels or portal offerings. There is a clear difference when we compare Google's terms with Yahoo's... search versus engage in an activity or consume a specific type of content.
MSN queries are clearly distinct from both Google and Yahoo!, with their queries dominated by specific tools such as the new Messenger download, but also showing some portal characteristics with Music, Games and Money.
The data also shows how far Google still has to go to shed it's one-trick pony image with consumers -- even though I believe they are starting to make progress in this area.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The PR guru was convicted of the assaults on women and teenage girls over a period of nearly 20 years at Southwark Crown Court on Monday.He was also cleared of two indecent assault charges and the jury was unable to reach a verdict on one other.The 71-year-old has become the first person to be convicted under the high profile Operation Yewtree sex crime investigation.He was arrested by detectives in December 2012, and charged in April the following year.The investigation, Scotland Yard's inquiry into historic allegations of sexual offences, was prompted after claims were made against the late DJ Jimmy Savile.Clifford repeatedly denied the claims, calling his arrest and prosecution "a nightmare" and protesting his innocence.On Monday the verdicts were given by the forewoman of the jury on its eighth day of deliberations.Clifford was released on bail until his sentencing on Friday, but Judge Anthony Leonard QC warned him this is no reflection on the sentence that will be passed.He said: "You must realise that the fact I have given you bail is no indication of what the final sentence will be."Outside the court Clifford posed for pictures flanked by supporters but told reporters: "I have been told by my lawyers not to say anything at all."As he walked towards his waiting car, Clifford was asked what it felt like to be the story, and replied it was "not the first time". © UTV Share Share Share

Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, today announced the launch of the third phase of its highly successful, multi-platform education initiative, Es el momento (The Moment is Now). The initiative's third phase underscores the critical importance of parents as lifelong advocates for education in their children's lives, from their early years through childhood, teens and into young adulthood.
"Es el momento's third phase renews Univision's commitment to Latino educational attainment with an in-depth look at the importance of parents as a guiding force behind their children's academic success," said Cesar Conde, president of Univision Networks. "Hispanics in the U.S. will continue redefining our nation's fabric and we want to carry on our mission by raising awareness for parental advocacy to educate, inform and empower Hispanic America's next generation of leaders."
"We are proud of Es el Momento's progress toward empowering Latino parents to be advocates for their children's education and are excited about continuing our partnership in the next phase of the campaign," said Allan Golston, president of the Gates Foundation's United States Program.
"Parenting is the most important job that every parent takes on. Good parenting and family involvement in schools are essential if children are going to flourish and fulfill their dreams," said Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education.
Joining Univision are new partner organizations Big Brothers Big Sisters, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the National Center for Learning Disabilities. Along with the steadfast support of its advisory board and longstanding partners the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, U.S. Department of Education and other educators and civic community leaders, Univision will continue its efforts to improve academic achievement among Hispanic students and foster a college-bound culture.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is thrilled to partner with Univision's Es el momento initiative. Univision has the ability to help increase the number of young Latinos in achieving their educational dreams and we are honored to join forces in that mission," said Hector Cortez, national director of Hispanic Mentoring, Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"With its extensive record of championing diversity, ASHA is keenly aware of the demographic changes taking place and the need to deliver vital health information to new audiences," ASHA President Shelly Chabon, CCC-SLP says. "We look forward to making our bilingual member audiologists and speech-language pathologists and their great health expertise available to the millions who tune in to the Univision Network."
Es el momento's newest phase focused on parental advocacy will kick off with a multi-platform premiere of its new public service announcement (PSA) campaign developed by Miami-based firm República. The first one of a series of motivational PSAs will premiere on Univision's leading morning show "Despierta América" (Wake-Up America), followed by a special presentation on "Primer Impacto" (First Impact). The PSAs will also be leveraged via multiple online, mobile and social media platforms, as well as radio and for the first time video on demand.
With the help of collaborating partners, the initiative continues to develop new strategies and tools leveraging key platforms including its website, grassroots events and social media. Univision will also expand its grassroots efforts nationwide with numerous local events, education fairs and town halls, reaching new cities, including Atlanta, Raleigh, El Paso and Albuquerque.
This year, Es el momento will also award the first-ever recipients of "Univision Becas," its national multi-year scholarship program that awards scholarships to eligible Hispanic students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement. Furthermore, continuing the overwhelming success of its weeklong education event, Univision will hold its second annual "¡Edúcate, Es el momento!" Education Week later this year.
Since its launch in February 2010, Es el momento has reached more than 16 million people across the country through the network's multiple platforms. In its first year alone, Univision donated more than $21 million to the campaign in airtime for public service announcements and educational vignettes, increasing this amount in its second year to over $23 million and touching the lives of thousands of families through continued efforts at the national and grassroots levels. Local programs, including spelling bees, reading clubs and mentoring programs as well as the continued success of Univision's multiple phone banks, have served as a powerful resource to Latino families coast-to-coast.

Report Urges Early Childhood Obesity Prevention with New Recommendations
Most people think of "baby fat" as natural for infants and toddlers, but a new report from the Institute of Medicine says that childhood obesity is likely to continue into adulthood. Released yesterday, the report states that more than 20 percent of children between the ages of two and five are already overweight or obese. "What happens to a child during the first years of life is important to their current and future health," the report states. "However, national efforts to prevent obesity have not paid enough attention to infants, toddlers, and preschool children."
To combat the health consequences of early childhood obesity, the IOM also released a set of recommended prevention policies. The recommendations are mostly aimed at early childcare providers, educators and healthcare professionals, but the recommendations certainly apply to parents as well.

Flipping Out: Interview with Jett PinkAugust 16, 2011 11:28:55 by Martha Zaborowski
On the last two episodes of Bravo's Flipping Out, Jeff Lewis has been in serious downsizing mode. He let go two of his employees, including former intern turned Associate Designer Trace James Lenhoff, and sister-in-law turned design associate, Sarah Berkman. It seemed as if his house assistant, Jett Pink, would be next. Thankfully, Jeff spared Jett and even promoted him with additional responsibilities. Reality TV Magazine got a change to talk to Jett about behind-the-scenes secrets of Flipping Out, what's to come this season of Flipping Out, and his solo blues album and rock album coming out with band Whitehouse Station.

All things bright and beautiful find their way into the work of Salem photographer and graphic designer Jessica Marple.
Marple catches nature and humanity at its best. She specializes in capturing that momentary ray of sunlight peeking through the trees, that shy bullfrog singing at a pond's edge, that uninhibited kindergartener picking flowers. Her delightful photographs are on display at the Corban College's Psalm Center Gallery during the month of April.
Marple grew up on Northern California and graduated from CSU Sacramento with a bachelor's degree in communication studies in 2000. After graduation, she worked at the University of Southern California's Sacramento campus, serving as the registrar and graphic designer.
Following in the footsteps of her father who enjoys design and photography, Marple began exploring photography on the job and on her own time, eventually becoming the USC Sacramento campus photographer.
In 2005, Marple moved to Oregon to begin a communications job at Corban. Among other things, she helps maintain the college's Web site, designs print products and shoots photos. Oregon has opened a whole new venue for photography, and she enjoys spending her free time traveling throughout the state – and beyond.
Corban's Psalm Center Gallery is located at 5000 Deer Park Dr., SE. It's open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Admission is free. For more information, call 503-375-7005 or log on towww.corban.edu. A selection of Marple's photos can be found online at www.hellobutterfly.com.

This seems like a simple question but there doesn't seem to be an answer online. I had a read through this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/excel-help/filter-data-in-a-pivottable-HA102840040.aspx but it doesn't seem to be much help.
Suppose I have a pivot table in which one of the count is a count of the number of times each value from another column appears in the data. Now I want to display only rows where the count is, say, larger than 1.
How do I do this?

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Madeira Beach, Florida -- The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office is investigating why 31-year-old Nicholas Voutsinas climbed up to a restricted parking garage rooftop in Johns Pass.
According to deputies, Voutsinas and a friend climbed up to the restricted area -- about seven stories high -- to get a better view of the city.
PHOTOS: Man falls from 7-story parking garage at Johns Pass
After some time passed, the friend decided to climb back down while Voutsinas remained on the roof. Deputies say that by the time the friend reached the ground, Voutsinas was already lying in the roadway.
Voutisinas was unconscious and transported to hospital as a trauma alert. He sustained multiple fractures to his face, leg and pelvis.
Deputies did say that Voutisinas did have alcohol in his system.
It is still unclear if Voutsinas fell or jumped.

I have enjoyed craft as long as I can remember, and would love to try them all! Mum was always making things, and Dad always building things, so I guess it runs in the family. My main interest now is in patchwork and quilting. I am brimming with ideas and have notebooks and scraps of paper full of quilt sketches. I hope to make them all one day, and gradually make each one into a pattern.

Building any interesting appcessories? Are you considering getting to grips with Bluetooth Smart wireless comms? If so, you may be interested in the results of a recent Bluetooth survey.
One finding, for example, is that 60% of people in the UK currently own a wireless connected accessory – such as wireless keyboard, or health and fitness monitors – with 72% expecting to own one by 2016.
Before we get to the full details, let's take the Bluetooth temperature on Gadget Master with some questions of our own?
And while we're at it, this provokes another question:
Getting back to the original topic, the research in question was carried out by the Bluetooth SIG (so it's obviously positive about the protocol's future development).
- Consumers predict that wearable technology devices, such as smart watches, smart eyewear and fitness monitors, will see the biggest growth in consumer demand of all wireless devices in the next year
- Over half (53%) of Brits would like to be able to control appliances in their home directly from their smartphone in the future
- 58% believe connected devices could make the things they do every day quicker and easier
- 73% anticipate the amount of things they do and control wirelessly will increase in the next five years
For those looking to buy such a device, the most important factors are:
- the device being simple to use (54%)
- connecting easily and quickly with a smartphone or PC without repeatedly having to reconnect (44%)
- delivering information that's truly useful (38%)
"It's clear that consumers are seeing the benefit that wireless accessories of all types can bring them, with over half (58%) stating that connected devices could make the things they do every day quicker and easier," said Suke Jawanda, Bluetooth SIG CMO. "But they also want devices that work seamlessly with their smartphones and tablets, are easy to use and provide them with the data they want."
* According to the Bluetooth SIG – consumer research results were taken from an online survey of over 2000 GB consumers in June 2014

Secrets of Success
Day 5 of the 17 day diet
Friday, August 05, 2011
Well I'm back home to my fridge and my food. My darling cousins have invited me to the farmers market tomorrow so I'm super excited to get a bunch of fresh veggies to keep my diet going. I'm getting a little bored and I'm a little lethargic. I don't think its because I'm eating too few carbs really becuase I'm still eating fruit and yogurt. I don't know... maybe it is too few carbs. My brain power right now is at an all time low. I'm exausted - most likely because of travel. Sleeping in a foreign bed in a foreign state and traveling across time zones will do that to ya! I'm dying to just go sit in my recliner and read. Probably go to bed at 7:00 and be a real loser on a Friday night. I can't wait to wake up and see my weight loss total for the week. I'm feeling less puffy and I think I'm looking thinner. I just wish i could come out of this mental fog. You'd think with all of the green tea I've been drinking it wouldn't be a problem! Oh, well - time for a good nights sleep in my own bed. That will help me get going again! Oh.. and as for my food progress today - I did well. I had the last of my kefir at the hotel and found a fruit cup at the airport for breakfast. I was starved as soon as I got home so I whipped up an egg beaters omelet with asparagus, onion, spinach and green peppers. Hit the spot. Not sure what to do for dinner. My creativity is pretty limited right now.....zzzzzz.... good thing I'm done with work. That was a rough couple of hours. I better get it together before Monday! Lots of stuff to do! I've heard in reviews of the 17-day diet book that folks say they are a bit tired, foggy and craving carbs during the first week but that it goes away. I sure hope so....I could really use a beer right now but I'm going to be good.....it will taste so much better in a mere 12 days....Sorry for the fragmented blog. Its all my brain can produce right now! Happy Friday!

FLDOE security error puts some students at risk
Stetson University is warning its students who are pursuing degrees in education that a data security error occurred within the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) in Tallahassee. The security breach impacts teacher education candidates enrolled in a Florida teacher preparation program or who graduated from a Florida teacher preparation program between the 2009 and 2012 academic years.
While FLDOE is not aware of any evidence that education students' secure data was accessed for inappropriate use, Stetson's Department of Education is recommending that students follow these instructions from the FLDOE:
"…(P)rogram participants who suspect their Social Security number or other personal information may have been misused or that they may be the victim of identity theft should contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or call 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338). Affected persons may also call their local sheriff's office and file a police report of identity theft, keeping a copy of the police report.
"To protect themselves from the possibility of identity theft, individuals are encouraged to place a free fraud alert on their credit files. A fraud alert notifies creditors to contact individuals before opening new accounts in their name. Call any one of the three major credit reporting agencies at the numbers below to place a fraud alert and receive letters from the agencies with instructions on how to receive a free copy of their credit report."
Phone numbers for the major credit reporting agencies are: Experian, 1-888-397-3742; Equifax, 1-888-766-0008; TransUnion, 1-800-680-7289.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is keeping up a busy public schedule, zipping across the state.
The Democrat who last week replaced the ousted Rod Blagojevich has a stop in the southwestern Illinois community of Collinsville on his schedule. He's slated to honor people who helped save a basketball referee last month.
Quinn also plans to head to Carbondale later in the day to meet with Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard and legislators from that area.
Quinn then will end the day in Chicago to honor Tammy Duckworth. She's the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs chief who President Barack Obama has nominated as an assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Very experimental. Hard for me to say much, not really qualified.
This is an experimental thing that combines abstract mountains and forests with realistic political details - it isn't complete yet. I just started and haven't had time to put in a map key yet, so green lines are international highways, orange line are national ones. Any thoughts?
Very experimental. Hard for me to say much, not really qualified.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
I like the idea you're going after, here.
You could add a lot of content to this map. Trade routes, locations of historical battles, key strategic locations
I like the mountains. Simple and effective.
I don't much like the forests, however. They look like smudges to me. And also, the coasts look odd.
Interesting. Some parts look very painterly. How you creating this?
Also, the Co(n)federated States of Arran lost an "n".
I'm drawing this in Paintshop, using the tried-and-tested 'dabbling when you're bored' method.
Also, a new version is attached. Among other things, I messed with the forests a bit.
This is a very unique style. I think if you tightened the mountains up a bit and made then opaque it would clean up the map a bit and give you more room for whatever else you need to add. On the whole I like what you are trying to achieve.
The second "International Boundry (sea)" is actually the land boundary marker. Also note the missing "a" in "boundary".

Christs are cool, but climbing in and out of them is... not so cool. Elevators are the act of jumping from sitting position straight to christ, on two wheels and no hands on the handlebars. OneWheelNeal who seems to be an elevator natural, shows us just how it's done on his first day attempting this potentially intimidating acro.
Anthony, who's lived through figuring out elevators by himself, started by giving Neal some advice and having him get a feel for the jump while on the rear stands. First thing to think about is sitting back a bit on the seat so during your jump your thighs won't hit your tank and throw your bike to the side. Next think about placing the balls of your feet on your pegs for maximum push and balance when you jump. While your practicing on your stand pay close attention to how your feet land in your tank and try to aim for a comfortable christ stance, so you're as stable as possible when you reach your tank.
Both Anthony and Neal recommend trying these going slow in first gear. While you are more stable at high speeds you're also more likely to get hurt if you fall and damage your motorcycle as well. Going slow insists you're more precise, but for the sake of your body and bike, it's worth it.
Don't let Neal's natural ability intimidate you, most people crash a bit more while learning (we have footage of Anthony wrecking at least 10 of these), but he shows what happens when you just go for it.

On our way from Great Barrier Island to Tutukaka harbor we we visited by many dolphins. It is always a joy to both of us to see the dolphins.

April 9, 2011 Serenity at anchor in Forester Bay next to Port Fitzroy ( we did not lke the holding in Port Fitzroy), on Great Barrier Island. Forester Bay was as calm as a mill pond at night.
What do you do while your boat is being worked on in the boatyard? You go snowboarding in an indoor ski slope, of course. We had Serenity's bottom painted, speed-proped, and hull polished--then back in the water. We left Auckland with sad hearts--we had come to call it home. We headed up the coast in gale force winds to an island called Kawau (not sure how to pronounce it--everyone said it differently). After a night in Bon Accord Harbor we motorsailed over to Great Barrier Island and Forester Bay. The bay was super protected and calm--that night we were joined by Michael and Gloria on Paikea Mist. We had not shared an anchorage with them since Tonga. We went hiking on the island to a beautiful waterfall, then had an Island Burger at the little stand in Port Fitzroy--it was fun.

Runners raise money for bulletproof vests
Running 5 kilometers was the least Joe Cardillo could do for police officers who "put their lives on the line every day."
Mr. Cardillo was the first to cross the finish line Saturday morning for the Caring FOR Cops race in downtown Scranton. He and several dozen other runners helped raise money for Fallen Officers Remembered, an organization that supplies police officers with bulletproof vests.
The race was organized by a class of Lackawanna College Police Academy cadets who will graduate in October. The students learn not only how to be police officers, but that public service and giving back is important, Cadet Paul Tomczyk said.
Combining public service, physical fitness and an organization that supports police officers was the perfect combination, he said.
Organizers were unsure of the total amount raised on Saturday morning, but Mr. Tomczyk said "any little bit helps." The cadets sought donations to cover costs and registration fees went to support Fallen Officers Remembered.
Runners started in the 100 block of Wyoming Avenue and continued to Green Ridge Street, and then came back on North Washington Avenue. Following the race, a police dog demonstration was planned for Lackawanna County Courthouse Square.
Fallen Officers Remembered was started by sisters Jaclyn Mosley of Wilkes-Barre and Gina Boyle of Sweet Valley after their brother, Rodney Pocceschi, was killed in 2003. Mr. Pocceschi, who was 33 and a police officer in Virginia Beach, Va., was shot while making a traffic stop.
Since 2006, the organization has helped supply about 250 bulletproof vests to police officers.
"Too many police departments do not have the funding for this life-saving piece of equipment," Ms. Mosley said. "We do this in honor of him."

Raw Juices Could Save Your Life
" There is no doubt in my mind that raw juicing can save your life. I have seen it work miracles in some of my patients who were stuck on the merry-go-round of drug therapy. I am a medical doctor using nutritional medicine who first likes to do no harm to her patients.
The juice from raw fruits and vegetables has powerful healing and rejuvenating properties that can help people with all sorts of health problems.
Juices are easily digested and absorbed and are superb for those with a poor appetite, nausea, digestive problems or an inflamed stomach or intestines. It is easier to drink a juice than chew your way through large amounts of fibrous raw vegetables, especially if you are feeling fatigued or disinterested in food.
Modern day medicine is focused on treating the symptoms of disease with suppressive drugs. Sometimes this is necessary when a disease is very aggressive and acute in onset, however raw juice therapy is something that should always be used, even in conjunction with drug use.
I have seen many of my patients recover form chronic disease after they started juicing, and this has been after they have tried many other things. People of all ages can benefit from juicing, especially the very young and old, or those with serious disease such as cancer, immune dysfunction and liver problems.
Juices are a perfect medium in which to mix and dissolve nutritional powders, and will enhance their healing powers. The nutrients and herbs in powders are better absorbed than tablet forms of the same ingredients, and mixing them in juices enhances their solubility, digestion, and absorption. The juices bring the healing nutrients to the cells in the surface of the mucous membrane of the gut in an easily absorbed form. This requires much less energy to assimilate than solid tablets, especially in people with inflamed mucous membranes in the intestines.
Juices can reduce harmful acidity and toxicity in the body
Many people consume a diet high in processed foods, along with tea, coffee and alcohol. This causes a build up of acids and metabolic waste products in the body, which can result in more inflammation.
This acidic state of the body can be neutralized by drinking raw juices. Celery, cucumber and cabbage juice are excellent to reduce acidity. This is an effective way to balance the pH levels (acid-base) balance in the body which will dramatically increase energy and well-being
Raw juices are able to stimulate the function of the bowels, liver and kidneys, which increases the breakdown and elimination of toxic chemicals and waste products from the body. The raw juices can increase the quality and flow of the bile.
This is very important in detoxification, because the liver pumps large amounts of toxic poisons out of the body through the bile. In some people, the billiard system is like a 'sewer' in that it is laden with unhealthy fats and toxins. Little wonder that millions of people suffer with liver and gall bladder diseases and stones.
If only they knew about the power of raw juicing and "The Liver Cleansing Diet", they would be able to keep their gall bladder, and enjoy a healthier life.There are so many sick people on this planet searching for lasting solutions to their health problems. Furthermore, some of the drugs used to treat common ailments, can themselves cause diseases, and we call this medical drug-induced disease "iatrogenic disease". For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can damage the stomach, kidneys and the liver if they are taken on a long-term basis.
The cholesterol lowering drugs known as "statins" can cause severe muscle diseases. Some of the drugs used to lower blood sugar levels can cause liver disease.Long-term antibiotics can cause severe liver damage, which can lead to immune dysfunction resulting in allergies and autoimmune diseases.
Steroids like cortisone may lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis. Also, these drugs become increasingly ineffective over long periods of time. The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes has tripled in the last 40 years because we are not in tune with our body's natural needs.
We often tend to panic when we become sick and rush in to taking drugs or having surgery. It is often better to sit down, relax and think for a while, so we can look at more natural alternatives.
Can we change our diet and lifestyle, reduce stress, and take the time needed to truly heal ourselves? Yes, we can afford some more time for ourselves, and even if we need to take drugs, it is vitally important to start a program of raw food juicing and nutritional healing. This is so important but rarely given the credibility it deserves."
Dr. Sandra Cabot
The Benefits of Juice
- Improves life expectancy and health.
- Contributes to the prevention of heart disease.
- Helps with depression.
- Helps relieve high blood pressure.
- Helps detoxify the body therefore helps alleviate allergies.
- Helps with degenerative and deficiency diseases.
- Aids digestion.
- It is believed that fresh juice may assist in reducing the body's stress by helping to correct acid/alkaline imbalances that are so common in our modern world.
- The nutrient and enzymes found in fresh juices can immediately go to work in the body to strengthen the body's natural immune system to help prevent disease.
Choose a juicer that:
- does not destroy enzyme or vitamin content.
- runs the motor at a low rpm to reduce heat.
- does not rip or tear the food.
- applies a slow constant pressure to the food.
Other options to consider are:
- noise.
- other functions of the juice extractor.
- ease of cleaning.

Easy access for 40 foot, paved sites, trees at all sites block satellite, all sites are on the lake. The park is nice, you can drive onto the beach, 5th Wheelers and Trailers were parked on sand of the beach. The park has a lighthouse to climb. The main road of the park had noisy traffic on it at night. The park is 15 minutes to the nearest town, which has everything you need. If I'm ever in that part of Nebraska again and need an overnight stop, it was worth the extra 15-20 minute drive to the park instead of Walmart in Scottsbluff. - JB FTL

The campsites back to the end of an arm of the lake, which was more like a swamp than open water. The mosquitos were awful. There are two water faucets in the campground- only one of which is close enough to the road to use to fill an RV water tank. Not as well maintained as another SRA we stayed at that was closer to the state capital. Apart from these things it was a decent enough campground. - mjzman

We camped for 3 nights and were satisfied. Restrooms and showers were acceptable, but only one set of them, so was at a distance for some sites. Good site for boating and fishing, as what a majority of campers did. - User572

Stayed here for three days to tour the area. Camp host was very accommodating and since he was from Scottsbluff, knew the area well. Our site was long and level with ood water pressure and power. Satellite reception was great. Bathrooms and showers were clean. We would stay here again. - StarlifterFE
Jul 2015 - $15.00
Just an overnight stay, but park offered level, pull through sites. Best WIFI have had at a RV park. Air antennae brought in all major networks, about 10 channels in total. On site host was very pleasant. About 10 feet between sites, but little shade. Just 3 miles off major highway, very quiet. - Ncw

This was a wonderful surprise! In the middle of the city and the price was great! We missed our road and had to find by phone map but easy to get into and close to stores. Also located next to the city's small zoo. We did hear a lion roar in the evening and in the morning, also some peacocks yelling but campground is quiet. Seems to have some locals camping for season but the campground had plenty of space and all other campers were respectful. We did not make a reservation in advance. There is a host camper that checks you in, takes you to your site. Very clean, well taken care of campground. No problem with outsiders coming in at night. We would definitely stay here again. - campcouple

This is a former KOA that is clean and well maintained and a lot more reasonably priced now that it is not a KOA. The bathrooms were spotless and the lady at the check in must have been a reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. She accidentally overcharged me a nickle and made a special trip to refund same to us. The only down side is the trains across the street that come through Scotts Bluff. The engineers love to hit those horns. We were so tired that we did not notice. The campground is just west of downtown Scotts Bluff on US-26. - JWT
Aug 2007 - $35.00
This campground is a Dump! It was a KOA, but they dropped it or it went broke. It is currently being managed by some nice folks, I assume hired by the bank holding the mortgage, but they are doing only minimal maintenance. There was a sign on the wall that the CG is for sale. The pool and bathrooms are being maintained. The drive up appeal is awful. We only stayed because it was the end of a long day and I just couldn't drive on any further. It is also only about 100' from a very busy freight train line and a railroad road crossing, so train horns go all night long! Our electric was the old screw in fuse type, I has to re-tighten the fuse several times during the night as the power kept going off. Go north 10 miles to Lake Minitare SP if you're planning to stay and tour Chimney Rock, Scott's Bluff and other Oregon trail sites. - BCinWI
Aug 2007 - $35.00
This park is no longer a KOA, it is now Rte 26 Campground and it is a dump! Do not stay there. A rip off at any price and only 100' from a very busy coal and freight train line. My suggestion, go 10 miles north of town and stay at the Lake Minitare SP. They have electric sites only, but nice paved back in sites. Nice showers and bath facilities also. - BCinWI

The designated pinch-hitter and the back-up first baseman are back… I mean, that's good? Good for them?
But forgive me if it doesn't fill me with skittles and beer.
A step in the right direction.
Easley doesn't really excite me. Yeah, he had some good pop for a stretch last year, and some big hits, but if he goes down, they can easily replace him with another (hopefully healthier and more flexible) spare part.
rant time.
Maybe it is Yankitis (yankenvy?), but it is not required that a team have the best offensive player in the league at every position. It is actually normal to have a couple of stars/studs/big sticks in the lineup to do the heavy lifting, and have them supplemented by role players.
The key is to have a balance in the lineup, and guys that might not be all starts, but can put up solid numbers, get hot for a while and pick up some slack, and play good D and do the "little things" that help a team win.
If the top 4 is in place, that is the meat. CHurch, Schneider, and even Delgado are supplemental pieces that can still do some damage (they do have to carry their own weight), but shouldn't be expected to put up MVP numbers. Alou would fit into this catagory too.
So, Pagan can handle LF for a month +. Delgado should be in the game, but who knows if he can hit. If not, eventually he will get replaced. Some new spare parts will come in to fill in the gaps.
Look at everyones favorite offensive team, the Phils. Ignoring the fact that their park skews the numbers, they have Rollins, Utley and Howard as the main cogs. Beyond that, 3B last year was a black hole, C fair to OK.
This year, they have Burrell (2 good months in the last 3 years! And an injury risk) – basically our, slightly healthier, Alou. Beyond that, retreads, back ups and role guys. ALthough I wouldn't mind having Jenkins about now!
Mike C.
Oh, a healthy Easley is a nice pinch-hitter/back-up right-side-of-the-infielder to have, I'm not saying that he's useless… he's good bench piece.
And Anderson is a really good pinch-hitter, if you have room for a pinch-hitter who cannot field an position at a major league competence.
But at the end of the day, its spring training and the Mets have two major-league everyday hitters healthy enough to play, Reyes and Wright.
MAYBE Beltran'll be healthy enough for opening day? MAYBE?
Please, Randolph if you play Anderson at first, put the other guys in football gear…
stick, to your point about the competition having its own problems, case in point from Jayson Stark on Mike Hampton/Braves…...
Miss two full seasons, then come back—at his age—to rattle off 10 or 12 or 15 wins? Almost never happens.
Matter of fact, it hasn't happened in more than 60 years. Want to guess the last pitcher, age 35 or older, who won 10 games or more after being out for two years? Good luck.
The answer, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: Schoolboy Rowe, who went 11-4 for the 1946 Phillies after missing all of 1944 and 1945. Except he hadn't even been hurt. Joined the Navy during World War II.
Eventhough I have concerns too, the competition has problems…...
stick do you really beleive a number 5 guy is just a spare piece. A crappy # 5 means your number 4 gets nothing but junk to hit. And that makes your lineup bad.
Reviewing the results of google I stumbled on this page. I really liked it, and certainly I will fly my friends.

Injuries will hurt every team especially defense. No goal scoring and injured d men will kill us. WHO are we playing Hawks,Leafs and Thrash we will need to shut down ATL. and CHIC. offence and get really physical with TO.
Enter McQuaid and Woz. and hope everyone is going stand up Chara is our C and this is what his paycheck is for extra minutes of playing time. I am hoping that McQuaid will get a chance he is big physical more of stay back D.
One poster mention why we did not call up Drew Fata
The thing Woz. is that he is an ex Leaf so we may see him suit up against TO. tough call this why I am a fan and not a coach will get the blame and the fans get a case of BMW's #%&! moan and whine!!!!!!!!!!
Chara Hunwick

Yeah, except that TO really is a hogtown. Though I prefer garbagetown. Because of the smell. Garbage collection isn't their forte.
Yay TO lost! But it'll be hard to be cocky about other teams with all the injuries incurred to the Bs right now. It doesn't look good for the near future.

To get to Marysville, you travel northeast from Dayton, easing off the interstates onto a highway that becomes a two-lane road, traversing acres of farmland, fields of grey-brown corn stubble punctuated by occasional homes and outbuildings.
I am on a bus with 46 other members of MUSE, Cincinnati's Women's Choir, and we're headed for prison: the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville. We're singing for the inmates, and a current of unease runs underneath the animated chatter and the snacks passed up and down the aisles.
Like all MUSE run-outs, this one is grounded in the choir's philosophy to "strive for a concert experience that entertains, inspires, motivates, heals and creates a feeling of community with our audience." MUSE has not performed for prison audiences since 1993. Even though it's been 17 years, the intensity of that experience continues to resonate for MUSE veterans and especially our director, Dr. Catherine Roma.
At that time, the Ohio Unity Choir, directed by Bishop Todd O'Neal from the House of Joy, joined MUSE for performances at Marysville and the Franklin Pre-Release Center in what Roma describes as "an explosive, volatile, exciting and unforgettable experience." The Marysville audience was wall-to-wall and "85 percent African American," she recalls. When O'Neal led a series of Gospel numbers, the inmates responded with a fervor that was by turns inspiring and unsettling.
It must have been. Seventeen years later, Gospel music is on our program, along with a directive that emotional fervor on our part won't be allowed. The entire program — music, lyrics and introductions — has to be approved by the deputy warden. There are other directives: no suggestive clothing (as if, on a freezing cold day), no socializing other than shaking hands.
"It looks like a college campus," I think, as the bus enters the parking lot.
A large grey stone building with a white cupola, smaller red brick buildings, all surrounded by razor wire. According to the prison's Web site, 1,753 inmates are white and 746 are African Americans. More than 1,000 women are listed as "level one" security. One woman is on Death Row.
We line up for security checks and the personnel are pleasant and friendly as we surrender our licenses for badges. Five at a time, we're sent through a door leading to the main yard and told to "turn left." We go out, turn left and look at each other. There's no one in sight.
We find the gym at the end of a beige-tiled hallway that houses classrooms and looks like a '60s elementary school. A cheerful young woman greets us, offering to help, apologizing for the stifling heat. She's an inmate.
Sound equipment is plugged in, accompanists Rachel Kramer and Steve Milloy unpack the piano, risers are set up and just as we're arranging ourselves, there they are. About 60 women are led in, all wearing green-collared denim shirts beneath blue parkas, accompanied by half a dozen staff, including Deputy Warden Becky Hoffman.
We warm up. When Donna Tramell begins one of her solos, faces come alive at the sound her rich, velvety alto. Dr. Roma only takes a few measures, but that's enough to bring on an ovation.
As the program starts, I look at these women, our audience. I am struck by their ordinariness. They look like the women I see downtown, in the grocery, in my neighborhood. Many are chomping gum — the prison is a non-smoking facility. They could be my daughters and my grandmothers.
The first two numbers are well received, and then Roma quickly confers with Hoffman, who OKs a sing-along. They join us for Bernice Johnson Reagon's setting of civil rights pioneer Ella Baker's words: "We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it come."
"I wonder how the warden felt about those lyrics," a choir sister wrote in an e-mail.
Throughout the concert, women come and go without guards, who lounge on the bleachers. The Gospel numbers and spirituals get rousing responses, but what brings down the house is an old-school rap by Sweet Honey in the Rock's Nitanju Casel and Aisha Kahlil:
Women … should be a priority.
Respected and upheld in society
Given all the proper notoriety,
Never used or abused by authority.
They are all on their feet, stomping and cheering. We're thrilled and scared that those authorities will call a halt. But they don't.
We end with India Arie's "There's Hope," and they give us a standing ovation. They start to file out, and suddenly a chorus of "Thank yous" pours out. One woman calls, "Have a safe trip home."
There's still one more song — as they're heading for the doors, we sing,
I feel like going on
I feel like going on
Though trials mount on every hand,
I feel like going on.

Police: Man buys pizza, beer with stolen debit card
A Hanover Township man is accused of using a stolen debit card to buy pizza and beer.
James Charles Gilmore, 22, of 266 Lee Park Ave., is charged with forgery, receiving stolen property and two counts of access device fraud.
Sugar Notch police say they were called to a report of a vehicle break-in at 845 Main St. about 10:15 a.m. Friday. Bernard and Denise Masloski reported that someone had entered their pickup and stolen a wallet containing credit cards and other valuables, including a Visa debit card that had been used at Hanover Beverage and Domino's Pizza.
Police went to Hanover Beverage, where they identified Gilmore based on surveillance footage, according to a police affidavit.
Gilmore told police that a friend had given him the card to use and that he "did not think much about it" because he had been drinking, according to police.
Gilmore was arrested and transported to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. The investigation onto his alleged accomplices' involvement was continuing.

This time of year, bells are ringing outside of malls and department stores, and charities are asking for your help to make the season brighter for those less fortunate.
At the same time, your phone may be ringing with scam artists on the other end looking to take advantage of your generosity. That's where Mississippi Secretary of State Eric Clark steps in.
"Coming into the holiday season we want the people of east Mississippi to know the facts in this book," said Clark. "We get asked for charitable contributions, especially in this time of year. Mississippians are the most generous people in the United States."
Clark's office publishes a comprehensive report on charities at work within the state.
"For the past five years we have printed this book," Clark said. "It lists every charity registered to solicit money in the state of Mississippi except for churches and schools. Every professional charity is supposed to register with the Secretary of State."
Clark also said there are a few signs you can look for when charities come calling.
"Just be careful. If you have any questions, and they're reluctant to answer them, it's probably a scam," said Clark. "If they don't tell you exactly where they're located, the exact name of the organization, or their phone number, I definitely wouldn't give them any money."
The full report can be obtained free of charge by calling 1-888-236-6167 or by visiting the Secretary of State's Web site: www.sos.state.ms.us.

About New Hampshire Map:New Hampshire is a state located in the northeastern part of the United States. It is a coastal state and part of the New England region of the country. It has Vermont to its west, Massachusetts to its south, and is bordered by Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
Most Viewed Maps of New Hampshire
About New Hampshire State
New Hampshire is a state located in the New England region, northeast of the United States. It is the 5th smallest and 9th least populous state, with Concord as the capital and Manchester as its largest city. Also known as "The Granite State" for its extensive granite formation, New Hampshire is also widely known for being the first state to hold national primary elections. The state's motto is "Live free or die," epitomizing its spirit of independence.
The region was inhabited by Algonquian tribes before the first European settlers arrived. In 1620, the Council for New England gave a royal grant to Captain John Mason - governor of Portsmouth, Hampshire, England - and Sir Ferdinando Gorges, which were land rights to the area between the rivers Merrimack and Kennebec. This area was called the Maine province. Mason then sent 2 groups of settlers to the land to create a fishing town.
In 1629, Mason took the area between Merrimack and Piscataqua, and named it New Hampshire, after his England hometown of Hampshire. The region merged with Massachusetts in 1641 to form a coalition, but was separated in 1680 by order of the British king. In 1699, the two regions were again united, and finally separated for good in 1741.
In 1746, Wentworth - the region's governor- and his friends, purchased the rights from Mason. The land eventually became an official state of the United States in 1788.
The New Hampshire region is dominated by the White Mountains. Its highest peak is Mount Washington, which is 6,228' high from sea level. The state is bordered by Massachusetts in the south, Vermont on the west, Maine and the Pacific Ocean on the east, and Canada's Quebec to the north.
The state has 7 different major regions, which are the Great North Woods, the Lakes region, the White Mountains, the seacoast, the Merrimack Valley, the Monadnock region, and the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area.
The northern part of the state is made of tree-covered forested lands and the southeast the coastline. New Hampshire has the highest percentage of timberland area in the country, and the shortest ocean coastline of only 18 miles.
The peak of Mount Washington is famous for the place of the world's 2nd highest wind speed ever recorded at 231 miles per hour in 1934. Several deep and glacier-carved lakes are found across the state, as a result of the latest Ice Age.
New Hampshire has plenty of tourist attractions, with its natural resources the most visited sites. The Mount Washington Auto Road is an experience tourists should not miss, as this 8-mile drive ascending the mountain offers breathtaking views and sights that are unmatched anywhere else in the country.
The Loon Mountain is the most preferred and most visited skiing destination in the state, which is located within the White Mountain National Forest. Another popular skiing destination in the state is the Cranmoore Mountain Resort, located in North Conway, with 200 acres of skiable terrain.
For an experience that brings tourists back in time, the Conway Scenic Railroad is a renovated 1874 historic railway and passenger center, with 3 routes across 35 miles showcasing historic rail routes and offering an old-fashioned railroading experience.
There are 80 public high schools in the state, and 30 private institutions. New Hampshire is also home to Dartmouth College in Hanover - which is a member of the Ivy League schools. Other notable institutions include the Plymouth State University and the University of New Hampshire.
