There may be an end in sight for the current skyrocketing gas prices, but likely not soon enough to ease the pain drivers are feeling in their wallets.
AAA says it expects gas prices to rise through mid-May. We're currently heading into spring with the highest prices ever to start the season.
In just the last week alone, gas prices have risen more than 13 cents in Colorado Springs, though at an average of $3.57, prices remain well below the national average of $3.81. Though it's likely of little solace to Colorado drivers, prices in the state are lower than anywhere else in the country outside of Wyoming.
South Carolina, New Mexico and Utah round out the five states with the nation's lowest gas prices.
Fort Collins and Denver currently have the lowest prices of Colorado cities, at $3.53 and $3.54 respectively.

Mid week roast.
Unfortunately the joint seemed to be in 3 sections, separated by tough sinew so difficult to carve, generally the meat was tough although roasted in a lidded roasting dish with stock. This was not the normal quality we expect from Waitrose! We will mince the remainder and not feel guilty!

rolled topside
Very rarely do I purchase meat from a supermarket. But this being Waitrose, I would have expected better. The joint was actually 2 pieces that had been rolled together and tied. Unfortunately the butcher had rolled them incorrectly. Which meant on carving had I carved as you would expect to. It would have carved on the grain instead of against it. If you carve on the grain you end up with long chewy slices. I was having many guests for dinner, so to save time I roasted the day before and chilled over night. Then used the dripping the next day for potatoes and the stock for Jus. It also meant that I could correct the butcher error and slice against the grain. By doing this the beef was quite nice. But I would not purchase again . I'm a chef and managed to turn a near disaster into something edible. If your joint is the same as this one was carve it along the width rather than the length. I have called Ocado to give them some constructive criticism

50% off and 50% in the bin!
Is this why it was on offer? Awful rolled joint which had too much gristle and hard to carve. I cooked it 'medium' and it tasted nice but there was so much waste it ended up being a really expensive mistake. Would not buy again.

unable to eat a third of this
So disappointed with this joint. There was so much gristle that it was almost impossible to carve. We ended up getting rid of at least a third of it. What we could eat had a lovely flavour, but that's just not good enough.

Fugitive gives first US TV interview, to air today, since leaking documents last year
American fugitive intelligence leaker Edward Snowden "trained as a spy" and worked "undercover overseas" for intelligence agencies, he told NBC News in excerpts of an interview to air today.
In his first TV interview with United States media, Snowden hit back at claims that he was merely a low-level contractor, saying he worked "at all levels - from the bottom on the ground, all the way to the top".
Snowden, who has been charged in the United States with espionage, was granted asylum by Russia in August after shaking the American intelligence establishment to its core with a series of leaks on mass surveillance in the United States and around the world.
In the interview, taped last week and to air today, Snowden defended himself against claims minimising his intelligence experience before he stole and leaked a trove of classified documents revealing the National Security Agency's programme of phone and internet surveillance.
"Well, it's no secret that the US tends to get more and better intelligence out of computers nowadays than they do out of people," Snowden told NBC news anchor Brian Williams.
They met in the Kempinski Hotel in Moscow, Russia, after months of negotiations for a talk that lasted more than four hours, the New York Times reported.
"I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word in that I lived and worked undercover overseas - pretending to work in a job that I'm not - and even being assigned a name that was not mine," he said.
He said he had worked covertly as "a technical expert" for the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, and as a trainer for the Defence Intelligence Agency.
"I don't work with people. I don't recruit agents. What I do is I put systems to work for the United States. And I've done that at all levels - from the bottom on the ground all the way to the top," Snowden said.
He said he had lectured at the Joint Counterintelligence Training Academy "where I developed sources and methods for keeping our information and people secure in the most hostile and dangerous environments around the world".
"So when they say I'm a low-level systems administrator, that I don't know what I'm talking about, I'd say it's somewhat misleading."
Snowden said: "What they're trying to do is they're trying to use one position that I've had in a career here or there to distract from the totality of my experience."
Snowden, who left high school at 15 years old without graduating, made his revelations three months into his new job with the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton as a systems administrator based at the NSA's threat operations centre in Hawaii.
Following the leaks, he proceeded to Hong Kong unaccompanied, where he checked into a hotel without a plan.
On June 23 he headed to Moscow, two days after his 30th birthday, where he holed up in the Sheremetyevo Airport for days before he was eventually granted asylum. He is believed to have taken 1.7 million documents.
Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives passed landmark reforms last week curbing bulk collection of Americans' telephone records, the first step toward restricting intelligence-gathering by the NSA since Snowden divulged the secret programme.

Mariana (Persephone Classics) (original 1940; edition 2009)
by Monica Dickens, Harriet Lane (Preface)
Work details
Mariana by Monica Dickens (1940)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Mary Shannon has gone away to brood while her husband is at war in WW II. During a storm she hears on the radio that her husband's ship has gone down; frantically, she tries to telephone to get news, but her line is down. During the long night, she remembers her life from about age 8, and it is part coming of age and part becoming her own person. This is the second novel by Monica Dickens, the great- granddaughter of Charles Dickens, and she said that it was semi-autobiographical.
Part of this book gripped me more than others. I did root for Mary, even if she was often self-centered; I think that is a natural part of most children's development, and if she didn't get out of it as early as many of us think she should have, just look around at how many self-centred teens and early twenties people there are today.
As far as women authors went, Monica Dickens was only outsold at that time by Daphne du Maurier, however, her work hasn't remained as popular over time. I haven't read du Maurier for years, so can't give a good comparison as to why, but I do think it's a shame she's so little known now. I didn't love this book, although I suspect that when I was younger I'd have liked it more.
I came across Monica Dickens first as the author of Follyfoot (pony stories) and One Pair of Hands and One Pair of Feet - very funny 'true' stories of life as a maid and a nurse in smart society between the wars. This is adult fiction, though still a 'girls growing up' story. Mary, the 'lead' character, is a slightly out of kilter character, and the book takes her from adulthood back to childhood, passing the journey that leads her to romance, love and - potentially - loss. It's an enjoyable period story, perceptive and sly.
Note: pub. date Feb. 2009
Mariana is the second book from Persephone, which publishes "mainly neglected fiction and non-fiction by women, for women and about women." Published in 1940, it is essentially a coming of age story about an ordinary English woman, and on the basis of that description might easily be dismissed. But what makes Mariana such a charming read is its structure. The book opens with our heroine, Mary, ensconced in a holiday cottage with her dog, Bingo, and a raging storm outdoors. She hears some upsetting news on the radio, but the weather prevents her venturing out to obtain more information. Instead, the reader is treated to the story of Mary's life, from idyllic childhood summers in the country, through her school days and young adulthood in London.
Mary grows up surrounded by interesting and influential characters. Her widowed, independent mother fosters a sense of independence in her daughter, even as Mary with school and vocational training. Mary's uncle Geoffrey, an actor, lives with Mary and her mother. His carefree approach to life strikes Mary as much more desirable than her mother's constant worry about having enough money for life's basic necessities. Mary's first love is her cousin Denys, and it takes years for her to understand their close relationship can be nothing more than platonic. But she is resilient and every relationship with a man teaches her more about what she needs from life and love.
By the time we arrive at those moments in the cottage, we are fully invested in Mary's story and learning the details behind the news report. Monica Dickens reveals those details and wraps up Mary's story in a most clever fashion. All in all, a very satisfying read.

"The Prince" was essentially the first work of political realism in Western thought -- the first work of Western political philosophy that concerned itself not with the ideal government (as Plato had done in his _Republic_) but with the practical realities of getting and holding power. To describe the impact and influence of that willingness, that first notion that conventional morality might not be the best guide to success, would be as impossible a task as trying to summarize the influence of Galileo. Napoleon is rumored to have written extensive annotations to this book; Stalin allegedly kept a copy on his nightstand. Half of Shakespeare's villains (Iago, Richard III, etc.) derive their character in whole or part from this text.
Most of this book is extraordinarily controversial, even today, yet still fundamentally difficult to argue against; there's a reason the Catholic Church kept it on the _Index Librorum Prohibitorum_ for centuries. If you're looking for food for thought, it's here.
This particular kindle edition is fairly good; the text is cleanly presented with few typographical or scanning errors, and the translator has clearly made a significant effort to present the text as accurately as possible in a modern translation, with several footnotes detailing possible alternate translations of particular words, etc.Read more ›
First, so you'll know what everyone is referring to when you come across the adjective "machiavellian" in news stories or other media. This adjective has become so commonplace (and overused) it is almost a cliche. Also, most who use it have never read this letter from Machiavelli, a Rennaisance courtier to his Prince (written from prison), but they insist on peppering writings with this noun turned adjective so much that as a matter of clearly understanding what is meant by the term, famiality with this brief treatise is helpful.
Second, this book does describe most (not all) power situations very well. From politics to corporations to most settings where advancement, influence and control exist, Machiavelli's observations and rules apply.
You will also discover that Machiavelli was not as evil as he is understood to be in popular thought. What he was doing was describing the rules of the game that have existed and always will exist for many situations involving selfish humans in competition. Machiavelli's rules are neither good nor bad in themselves -- they describe a process. What is good or bad is how those who master Machiavelli's rules use their power and position, in a society that tempers actions according to law and basic Judeo-Christian principals. When those principals do not exist (as in Nazi Germany, the Middle Ages or under Communism, or by those who refuse to live by these constraints), Machiavelli's rules take on their demonic and evil cloak; usually because they serve demonic and evil ends. In societies where positive constraints exist, for example the U.S. political system, Machiavellian behavior can produce excellent results.Read more ›
As others have stated at much greater length and with far greater eloquence, this is one of the most important books of political thought and philosophy ever written, and a truly timeless classic. As such, the fact that it's available for free on Kindle makes this a terrific deal, worth every single penny and many more. All the usual conveniences of Kindle applies here: very fast to download via Whispernet, the handiness of being able to annotate and highlight important passages, bookmarking pages you want to reference again later, etc. The slickness of the Kindle format and capabilities plus the inherit worthiness of the book itself easily nets 4 stars.
It's been about forever since I last read The Prince, plus I don't really know anything about Italian, so I'm not really fit to talk about the quality of the translation. Suffice it to say that it's a fairly easy book to read and make sense of, but again I can't speak to how true this particular edition is to its source material.
Unfortunately, there are a few problems with this edition of The Prince that need to be mentioned, and which in the end detract a little from the overall score. The first and biggest is in the formatting of the book. In short, it looks like a plain-text notepad file converted into a Kindle book; there's no navigable Table of Contents or chapter breaks as with most commercial Kindle books, and the book itself flows from the title page almost directly into the background about Machiavelli and then from there straight into The Prince itself, with scarcely a break in the text to mark the transition.Read more ›

TWO missing foreigners might be lost in state forest east of Melbourne, police say.
A 58-year-old woman and 25-year-old man, who are both Asian, have not been heard from since Tuesday when they used a mobile phone to call for help.
"The woman contacted a relative on Tuesday stating that their car was stuck and that they were near a river somewhere but couldn't be very precise," Victoria Police said in a statement.
"The relative believes the two are somewhere in the Olinda State Forest as they have a friend in the area."
A search of the forest has found no sign of the missing pair - Yidi Fei and Tianhao Jiang - or their car, a red BMW X6 sedan.
Police are urging the public to report any sign of the pair.Originally published as Tourists feared missing in forest

Out of fear I paid the $60 by the deadline. Now what "Bill Doresey" told me was that I was to call him as soon as I made the payment. For over an hour I tried to contact him and got no awnser....not even a voice mail. In fact, the only thing I got was a voice recording from my cellular service saying that the number had either been changed, disconnected or is out of service.
I even tried dialing 411 to do a reverse tracking of the number I recieved from "Bill Doresey" and they told me the number is not listed.
For the record, I have an outstanding account with a music store of $500.00 which was transfered over to Allen, Lewis & Associates for collection. However, they now want $3000.00.
I originally recieved a call from them last year with a message saying "regarding stolen property." The lady that I spoke to the next day said that if I didn't come up with $900.00 within a short period of time I would be looking at possible Grand theft and possesion of stolen property charges.
They have been taking $164.00 out of my account every month for at least 6 months now, which was agreed upon. However after reading numerous complaints about this company and inparticular "Bill Doresey" (if that's even his real name) I am now going to seek the advice of an attorney.
I fail to see how a $500.00 debt turned into a $3000.00 debt.

Sighting Details
Me and my wife were standing in our backyard when I noticed a bright white object in the sky towards the North. It was during the afternoon while it was still light outside, which got my attention because there were no stars in the sky because it was bright out. However this object was a very bright white sphere. It seemed to hover towards the North and traveled slowly towards the west and then seemed to travel Southwest. Although it moved slowly it moved much faster than any star would've during the earth's rotation. Additionally, it maintained its altitude and shape for a duration of approximately an hour and a half to two hours. I watched it with a pair of binoculars and my wife had her compact digital camera. We took pictures during it travel and in the images it also appears to be a bright white sphere. Towards the end of observing the object the sky had begun to dim, no stars were out yet, and the object was even brighter. I thought the object disappeared but my wife pointed it out to me. It was starting to blink and appear hazy/smoky. I quickly grabbed my binoculars and observed the object was no longer as bright because it was behind what appeared to be a smoke screen or it was emitting smoke. With the binoculars still focused I saw the object itself and five to six additional smaller white objects under the object. It looked as though these were coming out of the bottom of the original object, perhaps emitting them from itself. My wife could not observe the smaller objects with the naked eye nor did she see the big object blinknig, but did see the object appear to get dimmer and saw the smoke that was emitted from it. It then disappeared and did not reappear to us. I was completely in shock. In all of my years in observing the sky and searching for UFOs I have never seen anything like this. I can remember yelling to my wife to look at what was happening. I still feel like it was almost unreal. My wife took photographs of the main object in the sky and a video. Video to be provided later.

MBR Rootkit Affects NT, 2000, XP and Vista
Not all vulnerabilities utilize cryptic knowledge to hack into the underlying core of an operating system. Master Boot Record viruses have been infecting MBRs since the DOS days, but have since given way in popularity to network and scripting type hacks. It was discovered in 2005 that NT based Windows systems were susceptible to rootkits via a usermode level attack on the MBR. At the end of 2007, security researchers discovered the MBR rootkit in the wild and found it fully capable of rooting variants of Windows from the original NT through Vista. Coding the attack is simple, as bootsector programming tutorials have existed for years and there is an abundance of open source examples for Linux loaders like GRUB.

England, who had struggled to 226 for six on day one of this fourth Test, lasted less than an hour on the resumption.
Johnson took the wickets of both overnight batsmen, Tim Bresnan (one) and Kevin Pietersen (71), in his first over on the way to figures of five for 63.
Pietersen made his intention clear, to try to wrest the initiative here in a series England already trail 3-0, when he smashed his only runs of the day from the first ball high over point off Ryan Harris.
But Johnson got one in the perfect place to Bresnan, who was unable to fend a short delivery to ground and was caught by George Bailey stepping back from short-leg to collect a simple, looping catch.
Pietersen responded to the loss of the often reliable number eight with a failed attempt to counter-attack against Johnson.
The ambition and method appeared unrealistic, and ended with an astounding mow across the line which resulted in the loss of leg-stump to the left-armer's extreme pace.
After Pietersen's hard graft on day one, it was a bizarre change of tack - even with the tail exposed and few obvious remaining candidates to bat with him for any significant time.
Stuart Broad did stay long enough to collect two fours off Harris, and survive a caught-and-bowled chance to the same bowler, before Johnson produced a searing yorker to have him lbw - as he had in the third Test in Perth.
Last pair James Anderson and Monty Panesar managed to keep Johnson out, his spell spread over two days finishing on 9-3-18-5.
It therefore fell to Nathan Lyon to complete the innings when Panesar shouldered arms to the off-spinner and was bowled.

Using this recipe you can achieve detox arms: 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar, 3 drops of essential oil with the scent of rosemary 5 drops of essential oil Cilantro (Coriander) and 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay. A thin layer of this mixture can apply to underarms and leave for a few minutes. Then rinse and repeat daily until the mixture smell subsides. In addition, drink plenty of fluids the body needs for all internal chemical reaction of water and thus also leach harmful substances from the body.

This series of games seem built more to engage and immerse than many similar titles of the Triple A variety. We discuss the virtues and vices of using games as a means to evoke emotion and whether they remain "games" in the familiar sense of the word at all.

Initiates, it's #DivergentDay cause the 'Divergent' DVD is now on sale!
Get your hands on a Divergent DVD today initiates! We now have something to watch over and over while we wait for Insurgent Movie to hit the big screens in March 2015.
We got our hands on an advanced copy (thank you Lionsgate) and got excited by some of the details we learned while watching director Neil Burger's commentary.
1. Divergent filming was a family affair
Not only did Veronica Roth make a cameo in the movie during the zip-line scene, but her husband Nelson did too! That wasn't the only family member in the movie. Veronica's mother, Barbara Ross donned an Erudite outfit and walked around downtown Chicago as a movie extra. You can see her for a split second walking behind Tris after Tris's aptitude test.
2. The Choosing Ceremony got toned down
The Abnegation bowl had more blood all over the rocks than what fans got to see, but it was too gross according to Neil Burger. This wasn't the only scene that was toned down or even cut from the film. The butter knife scene was cut and a Divergent being shot in the head was not shown in order to keep the PG-13 rating.
3. Mirrors are symbolic and a constant theme
Starting with the opening scene where we see Tris for the first time in a mirror, in the aptitude test room with multiple reflections, and reflections in skyscrapers as Tris flies by. This was a choice of director Neil Burger. Tris is looking for her true self and trying to find her identity.
4. Theo James turns into Four when they call action
Theo James didn't have to pretend that fear of heights was only in Four's fear landscape. In real life, Theo is afraid of high places which made filming the Ferris wheel scene a scary situation for Theo. Shailene Woodley and Theo James really climbed the Navy Pier Ferris wheel. Director Neil Burger said that Theo James was so much into character when he has in the Abnegation village scene with Kate Winslet, that he almost knocked pregnant Kate Winslet off her 4 inch heels by grabbing her too hard.
5. Shailene Woodley did some real zip-lining
The zip-line for the movie filming was two blocks long and Shailene Woodley's stunt double zip-lined the whole way. Shailene only zip-lined for 20 feet, but that footage of her stopping is real.
6. Jai Courtney doesn't look intimidating with long hair
Jai Courntey didn't look like the book description of Eric, but he was crazy scary anyways! Neil Burger revealed that he had tried long hair and tons of piercings on Jai, but he didn't look fierce with long locks. His look was finalized just days before shooting.
Confused on which Divergent DVD edition to buy? Use our guide!
There are multiple Divergent DVD editions available. This makes picking the right DVD very stressful. Well, ProfessionalFangirls.com is your Xanax. The most common and found everywhere (even the grocery store) are the regular DVD and Blu-Ray which is one and two on the chart. The Target Exclusive Edition is the Cadillac of DVDs. It has all the bells and whistles. If you have the $$$ to shell out $29.99, then run to your closest Target.

Now lets say you want to pay your bill, most of us do. Online payment will cost you $9.00 a pop. As a college age kid I pay everything but rent online. The good thing about mailing your payment in is that you get the chance to earn late fees of $39.00.
The good thing about late fees is that you get an increase of your limit. You become a riskier investment and what do they do? Give you more credit and take more risk.
False advertising and fees for online payments make it obvious that this card is a scam. It's a lot like those cards with Annual fees, Setup fees, anc Acceptance fees. And just like those other cards, Credit Cards from First Financial Bank USA should be avoided. I hope this information helps you in your credit search. Thank you and have a nice day.

First Financial practive completely unethical behavior and they are stealing from people. I have had and dealt with dozens of credit card companies in the past, none as bad as 1st Financial. They charge an annual fee, charge a fee for making online payments, max their interest rates (at 29.99) the minute anything goes wrong with your account (payment 1 day past due), and they will not negotiate a settlement for any reason whatsoever.
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from 1st Financial! I hope members of this company gets jail time for their practices.

West Street reforestedJune 12,2014West Street
Volunteers planted 76 crab apple trees along West Street Wednesday.
The plantings are part of Green Mountain Powers Rutland Blooms project, which drew volunteers from Berkshire Bank, City of Rutland, Green Mountain Power, NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Stafford Technical Center, The Vermont Country Store, Vermont Council of Urban and Community Forestry and Wilk Paving.
The Village Snack Bar also supported the effort.
The trees were purchased with donations from Casellas, GMP, The Vermont Country Store and Rutland Regional Medical Center. They replaced scrub brush and nuisance trees along roughly 1,700 feet of the south side of the street. The site borders a rail siding, the citys winter snow dump and a recycling facility.
Other Rutland Blooms projects funded by donations from local businesses and individuals are being planned through the fall. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company will give a bear dressed as a gardener to the first 10 people to donate at least $250 to Rutland Blooms. Donations will be used to pay for plants, seeds, bulbs and planting materials for use in public community spaces.

Definition of carotene in English:
An orange or red plant pigment found in carrots and many other plant structures. It is a terpenoid hydrocarbon with several isomers, of which one ( beta carotene) is important in the diet as a precursor of vitamin A.
Example sentences
- In most cases, early spring grass will contain fairly high levels of carotene (precursor to vitamin A) and will adequately meet the cow's requirement.
- The best defense then, is to provide a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to gain as many nutrients as possible, while frequently offering those foods known to be high in carotene or vitamin A.
- Laboratory tests only showed low carotene and vitamin A, indicating malabsorption.
Mid 19th century: coined in German from Latin carota (see carrot).
