4.0 out of 5 stars Steele away,
E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Remington Steele: Season 3 [DVD] (DVD)
The debonair ex-con-man and strait-laced detective return in the third season of "Remington Steele." This smart, funny detective series was one of the last of its kind, wonderfully odd and full of sometimes all-too-realistic crimes to be solved, and this season solidifies its tight storytelling.
During a trip to the Riviera, Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) decides to go the distance with Steele (Pierce Brosnan) at last -- only to have him enmeshed in a web of blackmail, murder, and a precious dagger. Needless to say, that puts a damper on her romantic plans. Questions about his past crop up again when he turns up in Ireland, suffering from amnesia, after trying to discover his origins.
But Steele's past isn't the only thing on these detectives' minds: a no-calorie cookie, a dead body that has to be kept hidden, restauranteurs trying to kill a savage critic, teenage pickpockets, baseball camps, obnoxious neighbors, Maltese treasure, and three aging movie stars ask for help in finding out who is trying to kill them.
The comedy is still firmly in place: There are sinister plots centering on murder, embezzlement and Steele's attempt to redeem a teenage pickpocket, who reminds him of himself many years before. But woven in those is plenty of barbed humour, such as corporate bigwigs scrabbling on the floor for a fat-free cookie.
Having gotten a solid formula in the second season, "Remington Steele" chugged along with more odd mysteries. Okay, few of these mysteries resemble real crimes (a comic strip inspires attacks on the cartoonist?), but they are often funny, witty and intelligent.
We only get a few hints about Steele's past -- he may be from Ireland, but not much more than that. In one episode, Daniel Chalmers ropes Steele into an old scam, where Steele pretends to be the new Duke of Rutherford. Steele's reaction to this shows how far he's come, and how honest he's become over time.
At the same time, Laura has become more sensitive to his murky past, and his attempts to overcome his criminal past. Sure, Zimbalist and Brosnan disliked each other in real life, but they had electric chemistry in many of these episodes. And Mildred (Doris Roberts) gradually becomes less of a maternal figure, and more of an equal to her younger cohorts.
This season also has returning characters like Daniel Chalmers and Rocky Sullivan, and several new ones like Mulch, a bumbling entrepreneur who is always seeking the Big Moneymaker. Virginia Mayo, Dorothy Lamour and Lloyd Nolan also appear as themselves in one episode, and appear to be having lots of fun.
The third season of "Remington Steele" is steele solid and entertaining, with more exploration of the mystery detective, and quite a bit more comedy.

Oakbrook Terrace is a city in DuPage County, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 2,134, which was estimated to have increased to 2,155 by July 2012. Its current mayor is Tony "Red Panda" Ragucci.
The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.
The current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as well as the applied, decorative arts and crafts, but this was not always the case. Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th century, the term 'artist' was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts (such as painting, sculpture, or printmaking) and not the handicraft, craft, or applied art media. The distinction was emphasized by artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement who valued vernacular art forms as much as high forms. Art schools made a distinction between the fine arts and the crafts maintaining that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of the arts. The increasing tendency to privilege painting, and to a lesser degree sculpture, above other arts has been a feature of Western art as well as East Asian art. In both regions painting has been seen as relying to the highest degree on the imagination of the artist, and the furthest removed from manual labour - in Chinese painting the most highly valued styles were those of "scholar-painting", at least in theory practiced by gentleman amateurs. The Western hierarchy of genres reflected similar attitudes.
The term crime does not, in modern times, have any simple and universally accepted definition, but one definition is that a crime, also called an offence or a criminal offence, is an act harmful not only to some individual, but also to the community or the state (a public wrong). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.

Yet Another Reason Why
Dear Verizon Internet User:
As part of our ongoing enhancements to the online customer experience, Verizon continues to ensure security for our Internet customers. As a result of this ongoing effort, Verizon Online is making modifications to the Internet access provided to you. These modifications will occur on August 21, 2011. For security reasons, Verizon will no longer allow users to FTP their HTML files to the personal web site Verizon offers.
Verizon recommends that current FTP users download their files prior to August 21, 2011 to prevent any data loss.
Having already eliminated Newsgroup support some time ago, Verizon sent the following email to its internet customers on July 20, 2011:
This essentially renders useless the measily 10 Megabytes of web space they provide with their internet service. Using their clunky on-line Site Builder tool is exercise in frustration. Most users create their websites off-line using one of the many available HTML editors and then FTP the resulting HTML files to the Verizon web server.
What can you do? Unfortunately, not much. Being a near monopoly Verizon doesn't have to listen to its customers.
You can, however, register your disgust by calling Verizon's various customer service, technical help, marketing lines (their extensive phone-tree offers limitless possibilities). You can try emailing to the links on the Verizon.com support pages and forums
You can also create a page similar to this one on your own mysite.verizon.com subdomain. Then link to one another's Sites to bump up the search results.
Perhaps if enough buzz is created the Verizon "suits" will take notice, but don't count on it.

The Enhanced Discharge Planning Program (EDPP) is designed to aid in patients' transition from hospital to home. Transitional care is delivered by master's-prepared social workers who provide telephonic follow-up and short-term care coordination for recently discharged adults.
Our social workers conduct biopsychosocial assessments driven by a review of medical records, discharge plans and participation in pre-discharge interdisciplinary rounds. Social workers work with patients and caregivers after discharge to recognize gaps in care and intervene to resolve identified needs. This provides a resource for patients and their caregivers and an opportunity for social workers to provide early intervention for any difficulties.
A randomized control trial showed a decreased readmission rate at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days post discharge. Participants were more likely to make and keep follow-up appointments, had a better understanding of medication management, experienced reduced caregiver burden and had lower mortality rates. Transitional care social workers also encourage patients to recontact them with any future needs.
Rush Health and Aging is a founding member of the Transitional Care Consortium (ITCC), the first organization in the nation to bring forward a social work transitional care model – the Bridge Model. This model combines the EDPP evidence base with best practices developed in ITCC partner agencies. Rush University Medical Center served as the evidence base for the Administration on Aging-recognized Bridge Model. It is currently replicated at urban, suburban and rural sites in Illinois and other states.
Under the leadership of the AgeOptions Area Agency on Aging, ITCC was recently awarded a competitive Community-based Care Transitions Program contract by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Nearly a year after Symantec's $13.5 billion merger with Veritas Software, customers of both companies got a view of the new face of Symantec at the company's Vision 2006 user conference last week in San Francisco.
After weathering a storm of defections in the wake of the merger, including President John Schwarz in September, CFO Greg Myers in November, and former Veritas CEO Gary Bloom in January, CEO John Thompson presented a refocused company to customers for the first time at the show, where a handful of new products and services were announced.
In the wake of the executive departures, Symantec has shuffled the ranks and halved the number of Symantec product divisions. In a keynote address, Thompson said the combined company would focus its broad portfolio of security and storage products on protecting "infrastructure, information, and interactions."
Symantec expects revenue to grow by as much as 10 percent over the next year, an improvement on the growth the company has seen since the merger. Thompson said Symantec expects to spend a solid 15 percent of revenue on research and development.
"I think Symantec is back to articulating a growth and product strategy again," said Andrew Jaquith a senior analyst with the Yankee Group. "They're not just talking about integration."
Still, there were few major product announcements at the conference to showcase that strategy. Symantec released a free version of its Veritas Storage Foundation management software. On the services side, the company announced plans to support its security products with the same kind of advanced services, called Symantec Business Critical Services, long available to Veritas users.
Symantec also rolled out the Veritas Configuration Manager, Provisioning Manager, and Cluster Server software into a new product family, called Veritas Server Foundation. Symantec will include new software, called the Storage Foundation Management Server, with Storage Foundation 5.0, due in July, that it said will make the company's software easier to manage.
Bradley Bishop, a senior software engineer with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) said his employer expects to manage its large number of Storage Foundation systems using Management Server with an SNMP management platform like BMC Software's PATROL.
"We can manage all of the elements on the Storage Foundation Suite from one plane of glass," Bishop said.
Thompson acknowledged some growing pains in the wake of the merger, including problems supporting the Enterprise Vault e-mail archiving software. However, most attendees had few complaints about service disruptions.
John Diers, a Unix administrator with Monsanto and a show attendee, said has not experienced any disruptions since the acquisition.
"We deal with our same Veritas rep, who's now a Symantec rep," Diers said. "We just get our questions answered."

Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: The Hamster!
November 4, 2012 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Hamster!
So, did you have a hamster growing up? Or maybe your best friend had a hamster? Most people have had some experience with hamsters, and those experiences often leave lasting impressions! Guess what: I had hamsters growing up, too! They were one of many small animal types I kept. I really liked the typical "Teddy Bear" hamsters. But I also kept Dwarf hamsters and Angora hamsters. I handled them all and bred them all. I loved all the hamsters!
Hamsters are a common first pet for youngsters. They provide an excellent learning experience in teaching responsibility. Children learn to care for and love another being. Especially if gotten while young, hamsters can be handled often and become very friendly and affectionate towards their owners. These rodents are also small, don't take up much room, are inexpensive, easy to care for, and only live to be around 3 years old. They are clean animals with little odor. They come in a variety of types, colors, and sizes.
Hamsters have been kept as pets since the 1930's! They were discovered to be easily tameable and affectionate and quickly became popular pets. Their name means "to hoard" and is derived from the German word "hamstern." And believe me, hamsters know how to hoard! They have large pouches in their cheeks which allow them to store and move around large quantities of food and nesting materials. In fact after you've had your hamster for a while you will probably know where is favorite "hoarding" spot is!
Caring for and maintaining a healthy and engaging environment for hamsters is generally very easy. They don't need a huge enclosure, but large enough that they can run around in. Metal cages and aquariums make good homes for them. Be careful of using wood and plastic enclosures, because hamsters are great at chewing and escaping! There are many metal cages available that also have custom expansion parts you can use to change things up. Hamsters love these! Keep some purchased bedding (such as aspen wood shavings) on the bottom of the cage and clean it out once or twice a week.
Provide fresh water (a water bottle works well) and fresh food every day. Hamster food mixes purchased at a pet store or online are the best bet for providing your pet with optimal nutrition. You can give fresh fruits and vegetables once or twice a week as a treat. Also, provide them with chew sticks for their constantly growing teeth! Hamsters enjoy exercise. They are nocturnal and usually do most of their activities at night. One of the best toys you can give them is an exercise wheel. A hamster ball is also lots of fun if you want to watch them roll around the house!
Hamsters are mostly solitary creatures. So plan on only putting one in a cage unless you plan to breed them. Sometimes they will do alright together if they grow up together, but that is not always the case. And never introduce two adult hamsters into the same enclosure unless you want a fight on your hands! A hamsters best friend in captivity is usually: you! If you begin handling them while young, you can have a loving and fun to handle little critter.
Hamsters are available almost everywhere and are inexpensive. As long as you keep their cage clean, give them fresh food and water, give them play time and social time, they will most likely have very few problems!

Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: The Pet Mouse!
September 9, 2012 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Pet Mouse!
The Pet Mouse. Ahhh. I cannot say enough good things about mice. I love them and could write a book based on my experiences alone! The first thing that comes to mind is, "This is what started it all!" Because, really, the mouse is the rodent that marks the beginning of my complete fascination with animals. I got my first pet mouse when I was in 4th grade. I remember begging my parents to let me have one. They reluctantly said yes. Then one mouse turned into getting two mice so that the first one would not be lonely! And from there, two mice turned into a litter, and then a second litter, and then into a whole roomful of many small pets. I have fond memories with my pet mice from my childhood. As a matter of fact, the mouse pictured here is one of my mice that I had in high school! Her name was Dora.
Mice are great pets. They are great for young children as a first pet and great for older people who just want to have a small, easy to care for, companion. Mice are inexpensive and clean. They do not need a lot of room or a ton of attention. They are clean and don't usually have much of an odor to them. They only live for 1-3 years and so do not require a life time commitment. They can become quite tame and handle-able if you wish.
Some background on mice. There are several different mouse types. These include house mice, field mice, harvest mice, and pet mice or fancy mice. They all have their own scientific names, with the Pet Mouse being Mus musculus domesticus. It is believed that house mice originally came from parts of Asia and from there began to spread throughout the world. Mice are very adaptable, making their spread easy and natural. In the 1800's people began using the term "fancy mice" because of the rising popularity of exchanging colored mouse fur. The National Mouse Club was founded in England around 1900 by Walter Maxey. Over the years mice have been used for several purposes. They have been used for everything from religious rituals to being test subjects in studying disease. Today, they are even specially bred by mouse enthusiasts to come up with new coat and color combinations. Did you know that there are over 700 different color and coat varieties in mice?!
The care and feeding of mice is simple. Find or purchase a mouse cage (many different types are available) and line the bottom with wood shavings or other purchased litter preparations. You can provide them with a wheel for daily exercise and other decorations/hiding places if you wish. Change out the bedding at least once or twice a week and clean their food and water dishes out daily. The easiest way to feed your pet mouse is to simply provide them with a nutritionally balanced mouse food mix that can be found at a pet store. They will also appreciate occasional treats such as vegetables, seeds, cheese, or other prepared treats from a pet store. Provide them with sticks of wood as well, to help keep their constantly growing teeth trimmed. Mice are also very social and do well with companions. For this reason, you may want to consider having at least 2 mice in a cage to keep them from becoming lonely. Females usually do great together, but you may have to watch putting males together because they will often fight.
Mice are fairly healthy if taken care of properly. As long as they have clean and dry bedding, food and water, and are kept away from drafts, they don't usually have too many health problems. Things to keep an eye out for include sneezing, not eating, lethargy, and diarrhea. If they have any of these or other concerning symptoms, check out this list of Mouse Ailments.
The Pet Mouse is a common and wonderful small pet. They are great first pets for children. For more information, Animal-World's Pet Mouse page gives a thorough run-down of everything mouse related!

Animal-World's Featured Pet of The Week: The American Guinea Pig
August 5, 2012 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The American Guinea Pig!
The American Guinea Pig Cavia porcellus, or just Guinea Pig, is a popular small animal pet, for both adults and children. Guinea Pigs are another one of the pets that I had several of! I bred them for a time as well as had a few strictly for pets. I loved them! They are notorious for "not biting." Meaning they very rarely bite (although they can!), which is a desirous trait, especially for a child's pet.
Guinea Pigs are adorable, personable, and easy-to-care-for pets. They are easy to love and handle, are hardy, and can live 8 to 10 years in captivity. Most of them get along well with each other, as well. The American Guinea Pig is the most common breed of guinea pig, however there are several different varieties. They come in many sizes, colors and hair textures. Different hair styles include the silky coat, the rosette coat, and the skinny (hairless!) coat. Check out this Guinea Pig Care and Breeds page to learn more on the different types of guinea pigs.
I will start with some background on the American Guinea Pig. First, the name "guinea pig" is somewhat of a misnomer because they are not pigs, nor are they from Guinea! They are actually rodents! The American Guinea Pig was first noted as being domesticated around 5000 BC in the Andes Mountains and is the oldest known breed of guinea pig. In the sixteenth century different varieties started appearing as people began to selectively breed them. The American Guinea Pig is a short-hair variety and was initially called the English Guinea Pig. It became The American Guinea Pig in the 1960's by the American Cavy Breeders Association.
Now onto their care and feeding. The majority of their diet should be vegetables, grains, and fruits. Guinea pig pellets, which can be purchased at most pet stores, are a good staple diet. Their bodies do not produce Vitamin C and so this vitamin must be provided by their diet. Many people mistakenly feed their guinea pig rabbit pellets – however do not make this mistake not because rabbit pellets do not have the nutrients necessary for guinea pigs. It is still a good idea to offer dark greens (kale, romaine lettuce, etc.) in addition to the pellets to ensure they are getting enough Vitamin C. Their teeth also grow constantly which dictates it necessary for them to be provided with pieces of wood or chew sticks from pet stores. Make sure to provide them with fresh clean water on a daily basis. American Guinea Pigs do not need to be groomed much at all compared to some of the other varieties, and that helps make their care that much easier.
Housing should be taken seriously as well. They need plenty of room to move about, plenty of ventilation inside their enclosure, and it should be easy to keep clean. Try to stay away from wood enclosures because they are much harder to clean and guinea pigs love to chew on wood. Guinea Pigs should be taken out of their cages for play time and interaction several times a week. When you pick them up to handle them make sure to support their whole body with your hands and not just their shoulders. This will help avoid injury. Most can also be housed together, as they are social creatures. You will, however, want to keep an eye on males to make sure they aren't going to fight.
Health problems with guinea pigs are minimal and are generally caused directly be improper feeding and failure to keep their enclosures clean. Most of their ailments include respiratory infections, pneumonia, diarrhea, scurvy, and parasites.

Animal-World's Featured Animal of the Week: The Jack Rabbit

Animal-World's Featured Animal for this week is:
The Jack Rabbit!

I thought that an appropriate Featured Animal of the Week would be a Jack Rabbit – in the spirit of Easter! Jack Rabbits are not typically kept as pets, however they are widespread in their natural habitats. Many people probably associate a Jack Rabbit with the famous "Tortoise and Hare" tale, where the two animals race against each other. Ultimately the tortoise wins because he is "slow and steady," whereas the hare uses all his energy up at the beginning of the race. Jack Rabbits are hares, meaning they do not build nests like other rabbits and their babies are born with all of their fur and eyes open. This is not the case with most rabbits. I am going to focus on the Black-tailed Jack Rabbit, scientific name Lepus californicus, because this one is the most common. The Black-tailed Jack Rabbit lives in the deserts of the 4 southwestern states and Northern Mexico. They are quite adaptable and can thrive in areas inhabited by humans as well.
These Jack Rabbits usually have a salt and pepper look with colors of brown and silver and very long brown ears. There is a black stripe going down the tail. Their long ears are to help regulate their temperatures by increasing or decreasing blood flow to them. This is helpful in the desert because of the very hot days and cold nights. They have a lifespan of approximately 1-5 years in the wild (somewhat longer in captivity) and breed prolifically. They usually have four to six litters a year, averaging 2-4 young, or leverets. The mother stops nursing them after 1 month of age. These babies reach sexual maturity by about 8 to 12 months of age and can start breeding soon after this. Males can reach up to 11 pounds and females can reach up to 13 pounds at maturity. Their lengths can reach 28 inches with 5 inch tails.
They have many natural enemies who will prey on them, including coyotes, foxes, hawks, snakes, bobcats, and even human hunters. Jack Rabbits are quite fast, reaching speeds of 36 miles per hour to escape predators. They can also leap about 20 feet into the air. These are just some of the many defensive tactics to help keep themselves safe. They prefer grasslands and large empty areas so they can spot enemies before the enemies spot them. They also spend most of their days crouched down with their ears flat against their backs which helps them to blend in. They mostly are active only at night as well.
Jack Rabbits are herbivores and eat only vegetables, fruits, herbs, grasses, leaves, and shrubs. They eat some of their poop as well, which helps them retain water and get the maximum moisture from their food. In this way they don't have to drink much water, if any, at all. It is especially helpful in the desert where there often is not much water. Jack Rabbits are considered a problem in agricultural areas because they will snack on many crops and can make huge dents in them. Fences are put up to try and keep them out, however this often does not work and poison is used instead.
Although Jack Rabbits are not kept as pets, if you would like to read more about domestic pet rabbits, check out Animal-World's World of Pet Rabbits!

Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: Polish Rabbits
January 22, 2012 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Polish Rabbit!
Rabbits make the perfect pet for many people. There are so many different rabbit breeds which all have their own unique characteristics! This makes it easier to choose a rabbit that suits your particular needs and wants. I personally have had several Polish Rabbits, and I enjoyed them very much! They have one of the sweetest dispositions I have come across in all of my rabbits! One of their greatest attributes is that they are one of the smallest rabbit breeds out there (along with Netherland Dwarf Rabbits). This gives them the advantage of not needing as much living space. They can be kept in smaller areas and are better for apartment dwellers. They don't need as much play room and are easier to pick up and handle than larger rabbits.
There actually are two different types of Polish Rabbits. They are the American Polish Rabbit and the British Polish Rabbit or the Brittania Petite. The British Polish Rabbit is the smaller of these two, with weights only reaching 2 ½ pounds! The American Polish Rabbit can reach 3 ½ pounds. However these are both very small rabbits! The British Polish Rabbit can come in many colors, however in the United States, the only color recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association is white with red eyes. The American Polish Rabbit has many more recognized colors, including chocolate, black, and blue with matching colored eyes, as well as white with either red or blue eyes.
Polish Rabbits have some other intriguing attributes. They are considered to be quite smart and can learn some simple tricks! This is mostly them learning to react to certain hand signals and voice commands by working with them repetitiously. These little rabbits also have great dispositions, making them ideal pets for young children – in fact they often love being pet by them! Their small size makes it easier for children to handle as well.
A little background on the Polish Rabbits. The British Polish Rabbit was first recognized as a breed in 1884 in Hull, Yorkshire. They were so small that they were the first rabbits considered "dwarf" rabbits. The American Polish Rabbits are descended from the British Polish Rabbits but are mixed with some other breeds of rabbit – such as the Netherland Dwarf Rabbit – which has caused them to be a little bigger than the British Polish Rabbits. Also, when you think of magicians pulling rabbits out of their hats, guess which rabbits are most commonly used?! Yes – the Polish Rabbits! Their size and disposition make them the perfect candidate!
Polish Rabbits can thrive if given basic rabbit care. This includes the proper diet, housing, and interaction. A proper diet includes grass hay, green vegetables, and cecotropes (which their digestive systems produce and come out as droppings, which they then consume). I would recommend buying a good commercially prepared rabbit pellet and giving them that along with some fresh green foods (fruits and vegetables) daily. As always, make sure they have access to clean, fresh water daily. Proper housing should include a cage large enough for the rabbit to have some maneuvering room. Give them daily access to an "exercise area" which could be run of the house for a few hours or a safe area prepared for them outside. Make sure to change the bedding regularly (a couple times a week) to keep them healthy. Remember to remove any uneaten green foods each day as well.
Rabbits in general are fairly hardy animals, however you do want to make sure to keep their cages clean. Ensure a proper diet and the correct housing environments to safeguard against them becoming sick. They can get respiratory illnesses, diarrhea, teeth problems, and many other illnesses if not taken care of properly.

Animal-World's Featured Pet of The Week – Pet Gerbils
November 6, 2011 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Pet Gerbil!
Gerbils are a fairly well-known small pet – particularly for children. Often considered "pocket pets" due to their size, pet gerbils are very friendly, quiet, and clean little animals! Most people believe they make even better pets than other small animals such as hamsters, mice, and rats. Gerbils do not have the same reputation as hamsters do when it comes to biting. Pet gerbils very rarely bite! And many people prefer gerbils over mice and rats because they have furry tails, rather than scaly naked tails. Another plus of these little creatures over other rodents is that they are much less prone to some respiratory illnesses. Gerbils are illegal in some areas, such as in the state of California, because of the fear that if they escape they could be a hazard to crops due to their very fast breeding times.
There are many, many different types of gerbils throughout Africa and Asia. However, the type that has become popular as a pet in the United States and Europe is specifically the Mongolian gerbil from Eastern Mongolia. They were first discovered in 1867 and brought into captivity for the sole purpose of using them as laboratory animals. It wasn't until the 1960's that they started to become widely available as pets.
Pet gerbils can live 3 to 4 years – which is longer than most mice, rats, and hamsters. They are easy to care for and demand little of your time. They should be housed with at least one other gerbil because they are very social creatures. They must have another companion of their kind to thrive and not become lonely, and humans don't fit this bill. They will become quite friendly with a human friend, but require other gerbils as well.
Because of their small size, they don't need a huge enclosure, but their space should be large enough that they can run around and get plenty of exercise. Providing them with a bedding that they can burrow in and toys they can climb on will also help keep them healthy and happy.
Of course they should have clean water everyday as well as fresh food. Pellets or a small animal food mix bought in a pet store should be sufficient and include all of their needed nutrients. Giving small amounts of fresh vegetables and a little fruit occasionally is good for their diet and also a nice change for their pallets. Because their teeth continually grow throughout their lives, they need things to chew on. Offering them chew sticks and other toys meant to chew on will help keep their teeth in shape.
Gerbils make excellent pets for children for several reasons. First of course, is that they are easy to care for and don't have many specialized needs – which makes it easier for a child to take on the responsibility of their care. They also are diurnal, meaning they sleep at night. This makes them awake and available to play during the day when kids have the time! Because of their sweet nature and reputation as non-biters, they are generally easy to handle and will tame down as they get to know a child.
Pet gerbils are very hardy animals and very rarely become sick. When they do become sick, it is often due to lack of care and not keeping their environment clean. As I stated earlier, they are much less prone to respiratory illnesses than can often kill mice and rats. Some illnesses to watch out for would be external parasites (particularly if their cage is not cleaned very often), hair loss, and fungal infections. If you do notice your pet becoming ill, make sure to completely clean out their cage and food/water dishes. If it continues to get worse you may want to consult a veterinarian.

How to Care for your Pet Rabbit
September 28, 2011 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Small Pets
Rabbits are cute and fuzzy but require a lot of care. Whether you plan on keeping them inside with the family or outside in a hutch, know how to make them a happy addition to the group.
Choosing your Rabbit
Any potential rabbit owner needs to look beyond the fuzzy fur and look closely at the animal before purchasing him. Look for obvious signs of illness like bald patches, runny or rheumy eyes, discharge in the ears, fecal matter in the hind fur and problems walking. Also, look at teeth to be sure they are even and not overgrown.
If you don't plan on breeding then buy same sex rabbits to share the same hutch. Mixing will undoubtedly result in a bunch of little baby bunnies running around.
The Rabbit Cage
A rabbit needs a suitable place to stay. The cage or hutch needs to be large enough for them to move around and get exercise. Also, they need a place to burrow and eat and also to do their business. If you use an outside hutch, make sure that the rabbits are well-protected from the elements should it rain, snow or get too hot outdoors. You may consider having a space in the garage where you can bring the hutch inside in inclement weather.
Cleaning is not fun but it is a necessary evil. On a daily basis, remove any soiled hay from their cage. Half eaten fresh food should also be removed before it rots. Inspect water bottles or bowls and change water daily.
Check litter boxes daily. If you have more than one rabbit, you may definitely need to empty it each day. Litter training your rabbits will make cleaning easier throughout the life of your pet. You will still need to make a habit of regular cleaning to avoid their strong urine smell and your rabbit getting sick.
Feeding your Rabbit
Bugs Bunny might only eat carrots but your bunny will need a bit more. Rabbits can eat pellets that are commercially sold but need fresh vegetables to supplement their diet. Choose a variety of greens (mustard, kale, dandelion, turnip and spinach). Avoid rhubarb, iceberg lettuce, potatoes, beans and cauliflower.
Hay is also a good source of roughage for their diets. Choose grass hays like oat. Alfalfa is a good nutritious hay for baby bunnies. When they are older, you can switch to other grass hays.
Fresh fruit can be given as a treat but not too often. Try one or two tablespoons a day. Commercial treats are not necessary to their diet and can make them overweight.
Rabbits love the company of their families even if they don't like to be picked up much. Learn to care properly for your rabbit so they can enjoy a long healthy and happy life.

Purchasing a Hedgehog
September 21, 2011 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Small Pets
Pet Ownership: Purchasing a Hedgehog
They look cute on the cartoon and quite harmless. We are speaking of hedgehogs. They are not your traditional pet so make sure that you do some research before you buy one as a pet.
Hedgehogs are becoming more popular as pets these days. They are small animals that have pointed noses and whose skin is covered in quills. They remind people of porcupines only more compact.
Even though they are small, owning one is not a walk in the park. Here are several tips that can help you know before you buy if a hedgehog will make a good pet for your lifestyle and family situation.
What to Know before Buying a Hedgehog
1. Check the Laws – Know the laws. Hedgehogs may not be allowed as pets inside city limits in all areas. If they are allowed, you may need a special permit. Don't get your heart set on one until you know that it is a possibility.
2. Hedgehogs are solitary animals – This means that they don't get along well with other animals sharing their space, especially another hedgehog. Putting two together can be disastrous as they will fight.
3. Hedgehog females can breed early – As early as eight weeks a female can have a litter. It is best for them to wait until they are at least five months of age.
4. Know how to house them – Besides being alone, hedgehogs need a solid walled cage that they can exist in. An aquarium can work or you can build a habitat for them. When you first bring your hedgehog home, it is important to let him stay in his cage so he can become familiar with the surroundings. Hedgehogs also need very warm temperatures to feel comfortable (75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit). If they become too cool it can induce a partial hibernation state which can be deadly for your pet.
5. Know how to feed and entertain them – They can play with plastic toys made for dogs or even blocks of wood or flowerpots. It is good to create a habitat with hiding places so they can slip out of view. Also, they eat vegetables, some fruit, insects, worms and also foods of other animals such as cats and dogs. Don't feed them too much or weight will become a problem. Hedgehogs need regular exercise. They can get them by themselves but will welcome you to play with them if you do so consistently.
6. Know how to care for them – Hedgehogs need to have their quills cleaned. Also be careful if they are losing too many quills outside of the times when they shed them naturally. It could be a sign that they are sick or are not getting enough nutrients in their diet. Their habitat needs regular cleaning and daily litter box changes. They also don't like too much noise at all.
If you want a hedgehog as a pet, go into it with your eyes open. They are small but delicate and need a lot of regular care.
How to Build a Hutch for your Pet Rabbit
September 9, 2011 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Small Pets
Rabbits, as fuzzy and cuddly as they are, are not meant to roam freely around your home. Trust me, I've seen people who allow this and the results are awful. Chewed cords, chewed walls, and chewed shoes – not to mention the fact that it's downright dangerous for the little guy. Instead, why not build your rabbit a home it can call its own? Build your own rabbit hutch.
Whether your rabbit is going to live outdoors or indoors the process of building a hutch is essentially the same. Your materials may differ slightly but the process of building it is the same.
The First Step – Choosing Your Dimensions
In general you want to make sure that your lovely rabbit has room to move around. Now of course some rabbits are much larger than others so the dimensions can vary. The size of your hutch will also likely depend on where you're going to keep your rabbit.
If you're building a hutch for a dwarf rabbit consider building a nice 24" by 24" cage. For larger rabbits consider starting with a 36" by 36" and at least 18" tall.
The Second Step – Your Materials
The next step is to decide what you're going to build your hutch out of. You'll need:
1. Mesh or chicken wire. Make sure the mesh is small enough that the rabbit's foot cannot slide through and get stuck. You'll use the mesh for the floor and for the door of the larger non-sleeping room so make sure to measure enough to cover the entire floor and to create a door.
2. Wood. Six pieces – to include the roof, four walls and center dividing wall for a two room hutch. You can use plywood, hardwoods or MDF.
3. Hinges for two doors and two door catches. (Note: you can make a hutch with one door if you're making a large one room hutch. If you're offering a separate, windowless room for sleeping, you'll probably want a door on that side also in case you need to extract your rabbit when they're in that space.
Note: If your rabbit is going to be outside you'll want to elevate the hutch off of the ground. You can use small wood blocks nailed onto each corner of the hutch to do this. You can also use cement blocks or get fancy and build a table. (Take care to make sure that your structure cannot be blown or knocked over.)
4. Tools
Screwdriver or drill with screwdriver attachment
Staple Gun with large staples for fastening wire to wood.
Tape measure
Wire cutter
Saw – a hand saw may be enough but it'll go more quickly if you have access to a table saw.
The Third Step – Assembly
If you're making a two room hutch you'll need to cut a passageway into the room divider. This makes it possible for the rabbit to enter the sleeping area. Cut the wood to size depending on your desired dimensions.
Fasten wood together, leaving the roof for last. You'll want to make sure your screws do not pop through the wood and leave sharp points. Before placing the rooftop on attach the mesh floor. Bend the mesh into shape and staple it to the outside of the hutch. This will ensure there are no sharp points. Attach the roof. Cut out the center of your larger room's door so you have a frame. Staple the mesh to the frame on the outside. Add the hinges to the door and attach to your hutch.
Voila! You're done. Your rabbit now has a happy home where it can rest, get plenty of fresh air and stay safe from household hazards. You can also place food and bedding in the hutch to ensure ultimate comfort.

Featured Pet of the Week – Mini Lop Rabbits
August 28, 2011 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Small Pets
The Featured Pet for this week is: The Mini Lop Rabbit!
I personally really love rabbits as pets – with lops being my favorite! Mini Lops are quite cute with their long floppy ears, and in my experience, if they are handled regularly they tend to be very affectionate and sweet. I had several types of rabbits growing up, including mini lops, and I bred them for some time as well. They are smaller than a typical regular rabbit which makes them a little less awkward to pick up, and due to their gentle nature they can be good kid pets.
Some other perks to the mini lop rabbit are that once they are adapted to their owners and families, they become quite playful and are sometimes considered to being akin to a pet dog. They also can be litter-box trained if enough time and dedication is spent working with them!
The Mini Lop is related to the regular Lop-eared Rabbit and was bred to be a miniaturized version of it. They were originally derived from the German lops, however the Mini Lop that is in the United States is believed to have been developed from several varieties of lops. They were first recognized in the United States as a their own breed in 1982, however they are still not recognized in England.
Mini Lops are a breed that is fairly popular for rabbit shows because they are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc. (ARBA) and the Mini Lop Rabbit Club of America. They come in a range of colors, with the following color and pattern groups being officially recognized at shows: Agouti (chinchilla, chestnut, opal); Broken (white with colored spots); Ticked (steel gene and ticking); Self group, white pointed (solid color with no ticking); Shaded (shaded markings with colors); and Wide Band (cream, orange, red, and fawn).
Here I will include some general guidelines on how to select and keep a healthy mini lop! When first purchasing your rabbit, try to get a younger one – between 2 to 3 months old – because that is an ideal age to start the training and handling process to get your rabbit used to you. Look for healthy signs – such as an alert rabbit with no matted fur, healthy eyes with no drainage, and hard and dry stools. If you want to get more than one rabbit, you will most likely want to choose 2 females because 2 males will have have a tendency to fight.
Your Mini Lop will be it's healthiest and live the longest if provided with the correct foods and nutrients, as well as fresh water daily (through a water bottle ideally). Their basic diet should consist of grass hay and green foods. You can buy commercially prepared rabbit pellets which should contain the correct nutrients, however you will want to offer them fresh green foods daily as well. This includes romaine lettuce, cabbage, celery, broccoli, and most other greens.
Mini Lops need lots of exercise, so you will want to make sure they have an enclosure that is big enough for them to run around in or make sure they get enough time outside of their cage each day. If you choose to house your rabbit outdoors, make sure that they have shelter from the elements and/or are allowed indoors during extreme temperatures (80's and above and very cold temperatures). Make sure to clean out their cage or hutch at least twice a week. This will ensure that your Mini Lop is happy, healthy, and a joy to be around!

Dove Super Bowl Ad Knows When Human Life Begins
It is good to see that Dove is pro-science and understands the biology of when human life begins. Their Super Bowl ad (which can be seen below) correctly captures the scientific understanding of when human life beings.
So what do you think, might the Dove ad be more powerfully pro-life than the Tim Tebow commercial?

Definitely agreed on the monk class, though perhaps Blizzard could take it a step farther and make the monk a Runemaster. They could use a system similar to the DK's runes and runic power, tapping runes for more powerful martial arts strikes as well as to heal the party. A leather-armored physical DPS and healing class could be interesting.
Also love the demon hunter and bard classes that others have suggested, though I'm with Swifteye in not being sure how the bard would work. I suppose the Groove system from April Fool's a while back is too much to ask for. *grin*
Finally, on the official boards a while back, I saw someone suggest a Bronze Dragonflight-based class that dealt damage and healed through time manipulation. It was an interesting idea, and if it's set up right, could be very interesting. My only problem with the idea is that all of them would take Engineering in hopes of getting a [Sonic Screwdriver] relic someday.
...excuse me while I duck.
Deathknighty said...
I did once have an idea for a hero class that involved dragons (Red, Bronze and Green) that got permanently stuck in mortal form and ended up joining the alliance and horde. Red would be the tanking tree, Green would be for healing, and Bronze could be dps (a little like taking the oculus drakes and turning them into specs). You would have dragon-y abilities, and maybe cooldown that turns you into the dragon of the appropriate flight and gives you some cool stuff for a little while.
I dunno. That's just what I'd had mind.

The Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cincinnati received a big donation on Wednesday.
Dillard stores in the Tri-State raised more than $14,600 to help critically ill children and their families living in the Ronald McDonald House.
The facility has houses 78 rooms, but officials say they reach capacity every night, with many hopefuls put on a waiting list.
The funds donated Wednesday were raised through the sale of the 'Southern Living Christmas Cookbook' at Dillard's stores during the holiday season.
The Ronald McDonald House allows families to remain close to their children receiving medical treatment at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

In this three-minute "Your Health Matters" segment from FOX 45 Morning News, reporter Patrice Harris interviews Dr. Valerie Omicioli, a gynecologist and certified menopause practitioner at the University of Maryland Medical Center. During the interview, Dr. Omicioli addresses the topic of menopause and explains some of the treatment options available to help relieve the symptoms associated with this portion of a woman's life.
Hormone replacement therapy and its associated risks are also discussed during the interview; however, Dr. Omicioli stresses that this type of treatment should be discussed on an individual basis and that, most of the time, women can manage their menopause symptoms through different lifestyle modifications.

Issued on 3 July 2013 by the National Climate Centre
June rainfall was above average across most of South Australia and New South Wales, bringing some relief for areas experiencing rainfall deficits, while in Victoria the northwest and Gippsland received above-average falls but the southwest recorded near-average monthly totals. Gippsland's rainfall was generally in the highest 10% of records, with most of the rain falling in just two events. Parts of the Top End and the northern half of Western Australia also received above-average totals. Tasmania, Western Australia south of Shark Bay, and the majority of Queensland received below-average rainfall. Northern Tasmania and the part of Western Australia contained by a line drawn from Shark Bay to Laverton to Esperance received June rainfall in the lowest 10% of records with large areas of the Southwest Land Division recording their lowest June total on record. Western and Gulf Country Queensland and Tasmania are generally the areas which have seen worsening of deficiencies this month.
Rainfall deficits continue for the 9-month (October 2012 to June 2013) period in much of Victoria apart from Gippsland and the northeast, with pockets of lowest on record apparent near the South Australian border and to the northeast of Melbourne. Deficits in northwest Victoria, adjacent areas of South Australia and the area of New South Wales west of the Great Dividing Range have largely been alleviated by June rainfall. Rainfall percentages for the 9-month period show much of this area has received more than 50% of the long-term average rainfall. Serious to severe deficiencies are present across much of western Queensland and the central south, and have worsened compared to the previous 8-month period. In Tasmania deficiencies have expanded and intensified, with most of the State, particularly in the west and south, experiencing severe deficiencies (rainfall in the lowest 5% of records) for the 9-month period with pockets of record low rainfall near and west of Hobart
Longer-term rainfall deficiencies for the 15-month (April 2012 to June 2013) period have seen dramatic improvement in central and eastern South Australia and inland New South Wales. Most of this area has been elevated above the 10th percentile for the 15-month period (i.e. April 2013 to June 2013 rainfall has been more than 10% of the average total for that period; the rainfall percentages map shows much of this area has received more than 60% of the long-term average rainfall). Deficiencies have also been improved somewhat across northern and western Victoria and adjacent parts of southeast South Australia, the Riverina and southwest New South Wales. Deficiencies have again worsened in Gulf Country Queensland, although June is typically a dry month for inland Queensland. Parts of northern Tasmania and western Tasmania (extending inland from Strathgordon) and the coast of Western Australia (between Shark Bay and Busselton) have seen rainfall deficiencies emerge for the 15-month period. A significant area of lowest-on-record rainfall for the period has been recorded on the Nullarbor Plain. Deficiencies also remain for scattered areas of central Australia, pastoral South Australia and around Charleville in both Queensland and New South Wales.
Weekly soil moisture totals in the upper soil layer continue to be very much below average across the Cape York Peninsula and parts of inland Queensland as well as in a small area of the Great Dividing Range in east-central Victoria. Upper layer soil moisture is approaching lowest on record for this time of the year across most of Tasmania, along the west coast of Western Australia and inland from the Great Australian Bight. The effect of recent rainfall can be seen in elevated soil moisture levels through inland New South Wales, northwestern Victoria, much of South Australia and along the Victorian coast in Gippsland and west of Port Phillip Bay.
For the deeper layer, soil moisture has seen some change, compared to last month, following recent rainfall, but is still very much below average for the majority of Victoria (except in the east), part of southeastern New South Wales, the eastern half of Tasmania, Western Australia between Shark Bay, Perth and Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and parts of the far north. Elevated soil moisture in the northwest is a result of frequent northwest cloudbands bringing good falls to that part of the country in recent months.

Antiaging Facials: Worth It?
This column features weekly tips and advice from a revolving cast of industry leaders, on hand to discuss your beauty dilemmas, from blemishes to Botox. To submit a question, e-mail email@example.com.
I'm intrigued by antiaging facials that claim to make your skin look ten years younger in one session, but most are extremely pricey. How much stock should I put into them?
"Antiaging facials done outside a doctor's office have limited antiaging effects because they should not be very strong. Treatments that have the most dramatic effect on the skin, like lasers or strong chemical peels, should be delivered by a medical expert to avoid side effects like prolonged redness, discoloration, or, in the worst cases, scarring. Although these treatments are exceptionally safe when performed properly, the results can be tragic when done by inexperienced practitioners. In general, MDs have more training than non-MDs, so it's important to research your facialist thoroughly. The bottom line is that antiaging facials can feel nice and give the skin a temporary glow, but they will not be particularly effective in significantly reducing the signs of aging. For the money, I would book intense pulse light treatments or IPL for early photo damage and mild facial discoloration, which deliver noticeable results that last."
Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D. is a cosmetic dermatologist and co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, as well as an assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology at John Hopkins Hospital Center. She is a leader in the field of laser surgery and recognized as one of the most experienced experts in the field of injectable procedures.—Kari Molvar

A project of the U.S. Travel Association, the Power of Travel Coalition is the grassroots army defending and strengthening the American travel community. We are the more than 10 million individuals whose jobs depend on a strong travel industry, from hotel and rental car employees to theme park and cruise line workers, tour operators, meeting planners, and restaurant staff. A strong travel economy means stronger local economies and more jobs. For that reason, the Power of Travel Coalition works with employees to champion, protect and improve travel and tourism.
Travel Effect is the U.S. Travel Association's comprehensive, research-driven initiative to change mindsets, shift American culture and motivate Americans to use more of their earned time off. In 2013, Americans failed to use 429 million days of earned leave—an average of 3.2 per employee. It's called the Day Off Deficit and it impacts the American economy, productivity of businesses, and individual health and well-being.

Lubbock Police are searching for a rape suspect who apparently chose his victim at random.
According to police reports, the suspect walked up alongside a black Chevy Tahoe at 42nd and Avenue Q around 12:30 p.m., on Tuesday, October 9. He tapped on the passenger side window with his black handgun, before getting into the vehicle.
The suspect then ordered the woman to "drive around," until they came to the northwest side of Mackenzie Park, just south of the baseball fields at Municipal Hill. He ordered her to pull over, where he sexually assaulted her inside the vehicle, and then ran off on foot in an unknown direction.
The suspect is now wanted for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping.

The number of people on the dole in Wairarapa has more than doubled in the past four years.
Latest quarterly figures from the Ministry of Social Development show the number of people on the unemployment benefit in Wairarapa has risen from 404 in September 2008 to 866 in September 2012.
The only area not to record a significant increase was Tararua, where the numbers of job seekers fell from 249 four years ago to 240.
In Masterton, the number on the dole rose by more than 13 per cent in the past 12 months alone. Numbers in Carterton, South Wairarapa and Tararua were static in the past year.
Masterton Mayor Garry Daniell said the jobs crisis was a problem which needed to be highlighted and addressed. He said economic stagnation was a worldwide phenomenon, which needed to be taken into consideration.
"America and Europe are areas where the unemployment is catastrophic. In Spain 50 per cent of under-25s are unemployed."
Mr Daniell said efforts were being made to create an environment with more job opportunities.
"We are working to speed up infrastructure on the district council so that diggers won't be left in sheds which obviously creates employment."
He said the district council was also working with education institutions and engaging with jobseekers and local agencies to find solutions.
"Christchurch will be needing people with trade skills in the future so those upskilling in the trades sector will have some sort of future.
"The people of Masterton cannot ignore the fact that although there is some work, times are tough. I'm not sure what the Government can really do."

Beat yolks and sugar 1 min until pale and thick. Add Marsala and place bowl over pan of simmering water, beating constantly until mixture thickens and triples in volume (12 minutes). Don't overcook - the yolks should be fluffy and soft. Remove from heat and stir occasionally for 15 min while cooling. Transfer to new bowl, cover and chill. In a cold bowl with cold beaters, whip the cream into stiff peaks. Fold a scoop of cream into the mascarpone cheese to lighten so it will blend easily. Fold in remaining cream, then the chilled zabaglione. Make a dipping liquid of the coffee, sugar, rum and vanilla. Cut the sponge cake into 3 by 1.5 inch rectangular strips. Dunk the pieces of cake into the coffee mixture, then arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a shallow bowl or baking dish. When the bottom is covered with cake, spoon half the mascarpone custard on top and smooth over. Top with half the grated chocolate. Top with another layer of cofee-dunked cake, then with the remaining mascarpone custard. Cover decoratively with remaining grated (or shaved) chocolate. Chill at least 3 hours. Cut into squares or wedges to serve.

Coconut oil is a very heat-stable oil thus it is suited to methods of cooking at high temperatures such as frying. Due to its stability, it is slow to oxidize and, thus, resistant to rancidity and can last up to two years due to high saturated fat content. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, FDA, ADA and World Health Organization all recommend against the consumption of significant amounts of coconut oil due to its high level of saturated fat.
There is some evidence that shows that coconut oil can actually lower blood pressure but due to the high amounts of saturated fat and the problems that are caused by increasing this type of fat in one's diet, it might be safe to wait until there is more solid research that supports this claim. It is always best to keep coconut oil consumption (as well as other cooking oils) to a minimum. If you are suffering from high blood pressure, it is always best to discuss further with your doctor.

The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor, Part One (Walking Dead)by Robert Kirkman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The third book in Robert Kirkman's New York Times bestselling series: The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor - Part One!
The Walking Dead original novel series, set in the universe of Robert Kirkman's iconic comic book, continues with The Fall of the Governor - Part One. From co-authors Kirkman, creator of the Eisner Award-winning comic as well as executive producer of AMC's blockbuster TV series, and Jay Bonansinga, Stoker Award-finalist and internationally acclaimed author, comes the gripping third novel in this richly woven, page-turning literary saga, which began with The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor.
In Rise of the Governor, uber-villain Philip Blake journeyed from his humble beginnings directly into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse, and became the self-proclaimed leader of a small town called Woodbury. In The Road to Woodbury, an innocent traveler named Lilly Caul wound up in the terrifying thrall of Phillip Blakes twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodburys ever tightening barricades.
And now, in The Fall of the Governor - Part One, the Governors descent into madness finally erupts in a tour de force of action and horror. Beloved characters from the comic book, including Rick, Michonne and Glenn, finally make their entrance onto this nightmarish stage, and fans of The Walking Dead will see these characters in a whole new light. Simmering grudges boil over into unthinkable confrontations, battle lines are drawn, and unexpected twists seal the fates of the innocent and guilty alike.

Apple's "Transparent Texting" Could Make Typing And Walking Safer
If you're walking, you really shouldn't be texting. While not as perilous as texting and driving, there's no surer way to annoy fellow pedestrians than by zigzagging across a sidewalk, eyes glued to your precious screen. But if you absolutely must walk and text, Apple might have a new feature that could make that action safer.
