All year I dream of the days of May when the sun is warm, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the garden is all new again!

Behold, The Coneflower
Echinacea purpurea.
Is there any better flower for a hot summer day? And by hot, we mean temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit day after day with nary a drop of rain.
The weather forecasters call it "extreme heat". It's miserable for everyone and I refuse to give in to it, though I have renamed summer "simmer" because you can almost keep a pot of boiling water simmering if you take it outside.
Plus when I say "how's your simmer going" people will think either I don't know how to pronounce summer or I have some odd accent. If they think I have some odd accent then they will listen to me talk and wonder where I am from. If they think I mispronounced summer, they'll be listening only to figure out when they can interrupt me to correct me. In both situations, they won't remember a thing I say, so I can say pretty much say anything.
Goodness. I think the heat is getting to me. I'm starting to sound like I have the logic of a garden fairy and I've gone completely off track. Where were we?
Oh, yes, behold the coneflower, Echinacea purpurea.
In its native form, the coneflower does quite well in the simmer-time. I can't say the same about the fancy varieties that have been flooding the garden centers in recent years. I don't grow many of them, though I do hear some good things about the variety 'Hot Papaya'. I have also heard if you don't let them flower the first year you plant them, the fancy variety coneflowers will do better in later years, as in actually survive and return after the winter.
Winter? Did I just write winter? I'm not exactly looking forward to winter but I do hope for a slow, wet, cool, rainy fall. Something English like would be nice. Hey, a gardener can dream, can't she?

Oh, yes, that heat does tend to cook the little grey cells. I swear I'd rather be in January with 2 feet of snow and -5F. I'd probably be spending more time outside. Thank goodness for coneflowers.

Love those coneflowers. I'm dreaming of a nice English fall, too. Or summer, aplenty they are in for a long wet spell now -- maybe into the Olympics. But they'll have happy gardens!

The cone flowers are the most hearty and reliable flowers in my garden. The seem to thrive in the heat. Love them.

Simmer or boiling point, I don't know. It's so hot here you could fry an egg on the pavement, but it's nothing like the summer of 2011 in Oklahoma. We are actually supposed to cool down next week.~~Dee

It's useful to know about not allowing those new echinacea varieties to bloom the first year. I always drool over them when I see them in the catalogs or nursery but end up passing them by since as hybrids I assume that they don't come back true from reseeding. I like big drifts of things like that and can't afford the numbers needed to produce a drift. Some really nice colors there though.
I keep hearing about a cool down coming but it always seems that just as it's supposed to arrive it get pushed down the road another few days.
Too long without rain and the heat is just about unbearable. How did people survive without air condiitioning?

I like the old-fashioned coneflower as you depicted it. The new ones are tempting, but I heard they are not as beneficial to wildlife as the original, true natives are. Can't remember where I heard that, but it was something I had been wondering about. On the good news side, my veggie garden has been remarkably free of insect pests this year (so far). I had thought that the mild winter would have permitted more survival of the pests, so I'm feeling lucky.

I have been on the look out for plain old Echinacea purpurea...hard to find around here...

Nothing better for summer color, drought and heat tolerant and pollinator loving than the Echinaceas, old school. If you can't find them, buy a pack of seeds, they are easy to germinate outside. Happy simmer!

- RobinL said...
I think we agree here, the best coneflowers are the originals. I've tried many varieties, but mostly, I count on the basic purple coneflower. Although I have to admit that the coconut lime variety has returned for me for three or four years running, so don't be afraid to try that one.
- Sat Jul 07, 07:44:00 PM 2012
- Indie said...
I tried a new Pow wow white variety recently and wasn't impressed - maybe not letting it flower would have helped. Nothing like tough original natives!
- Sat Jul 07, 11:03:00 PM 2012
- GirlSprout said...
I grow the white swan variety, but they seem to like dappled light here in Santa Fe and are not as drought tolerant as in other places.
- Sun Jul 08, 12:35:00 AM 2012
I have a new favorite flower---the purple coneflower!! Not only are they surviving this IN heat and drought, but they are thriving in my garden bed! Thanks for the heads-up on the cultivars. I think I'll stick to the species while we are in this weather cycle.
- Sun Jul 08, 01:11:00 PM 2012
- Commonweeder said...
I'm not dreaming about anything but more rain, preferably at night, preferably gentle. And no rabbits. My coneflowers will bloom soon. They don't seem to mind this dry period.

- Cindy, MCOK said...
You might as well live in Texas with weather like that! I hope the heat breaks soon.

- Sharon@SproutsandWildlings said...
Good to know there's some additional risk in the new varieties. In general, I go for the tried and true and have not yet attempted the new ones, but the idea of a rose-scented purple coneflower is probably just too alluring not to draw me in eventually.
- Sun Jul 08, 07:12:00 PM 2012
- Rose said...
I second your motion on coneflowers as one of the best plants ever; anything that can survive this heat and drought is a gold-medal winner for me. Carol, you crack me up--your logic about using "simmer" in conversation actually makes sense to me:)
Hope the weather turned cooler for you yesterday as it did for us, and that you also got a nice rainshower as we did.
- Mon Jul 09, 07:31:00 AM 2012
- Garden Lily said...
I love the look of coneflowers, and that they are sturdy enough not to require support/staking. In the PNW, we are finally getting our first real stretch of anything resembling summer weather, so I'm glad you're finally sharing some sun & heat with us. :-)

This plant is on my garden wish list for next year. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your insight on the new vs. older variety.

Very first real vacation ever

Very first real vacation ever
September 11, 2016
This was our first real vacation. We had an amazing time! The water was clear & the beach was beautiful. The condo was clean & cozy. The beds & furniture were extremely comfortable. Best nights sleep ever!! We will most definitely plan another trip out here.
Is not beach front. It was dirty and older.

Is not beach front. It was dirty and older.
October 11, 2015
First: Larry was a gentleman while we're renting condo. The price was cheaper I guess cause it was on last minute special. We paid less last year at Destin and it was clean, very nice. If you stand on balcony lean to the right you see the ocean. If you sit down have cup of coffee you are viewing the parking lot. THERE ARE NO WASHER N DRYER in room. One on complex. The walk to the beach was very short. The beddings were dirty I did go laundry them before we slept on them. The rugs were very old, the water pressure in shower is very very low. The showers are older, our son would only use our shower. The bed was very uncomfortable. Actually after we were on the beach Friday we left and drove to motel 1/2 way home so we could rest. We are very grateful ppl but we only take one vacation a year and we want ocean front, clean, comfortable bedding. We loved FW beach. We meet lot of owners while here and several walked to our condo and they seen what we were talking about. If we had been able to stay free we would look over lot of things but when we pay we do expect certain things. After reading the review book in the condo we could see many of their friends stay at no cost or very low that is a great gift to give to someone. I did text Mr Larry he said IF it was dirty he send someone Monday. But We jumped in and cleaned it. We was not staying there 2 days dirty. No one calls us Monday to clean either. This would be awesome condo close to the beach if they would upgrade things. It may just be us, but we travel many miles, we want to see the ocean while we sit out of morning drink coffee. Or sit out and listen to the ocean. We have never wrote a negative review for anyone. We have been vacationing for 17 years. we are just being honest please don't have hard feelings, we really hope it helps.
Owner's reply:
I am sorry you were not happy with your stay. We do offer a reasonable price for a clean beachfront condo and are constantly making upgrades. My pictures show a view of the grounds and the water clearly seen from our balcony. The guests before you asked where I got my bed so they could buy one because they LOVED it so much. There is a washer and dryer on each floor for guests to use but not in our unit. Again I am sorry for you disappointment.

We had a great stay at El Matador. It was a very good vacation stay and valued at a more than reasonable price. Checking in and out was easy, everything was very clean, and there was everything we needed there to have a great family beach stay.

We loved our "beach week" at this condo. It had everything we needed, was clean and an excellent location. The pools were clean and we swam every day. The beach was beautiful and we loved our walks. The owner, Larry, was so nice and very helpful. We miss it already and want to come back!
Overall good experience

Started of with broken AC while checking in. I called the contact person and they had someone fix it quick, although I don't think she was happy about the call. Thanks for handling that, it made a difference and as a result, we will definitely stay there again. Great views, out of way from congestion in Destin.
Perfect vacation!

we enjoyed our experience at this condo. It had everything we needed, it was clean and we loved how private the beach was. I wish the pool by the beach was heated and that they had an outdoor hot tub, but for the price and location we enjoyed it as is and would stay there again.

We had a wonderful time walking the beaches and enjoying the local seafood. The weather was perfect in the mid 70's while in Oklahoma the weather was extremely cold. Staying in a condo was far more comfortable than staying in a hotel. We definitely will be going back and renting a condo.

1st time renting a condo. The condo was perfect. Beautiful beach and could not ask for a better location. Larry was really nice and very helpful My family is hoping to go back in October and would love to make this place our vacation spot for years to come. All I can say you will not be disappointed with this condo. Larry thank you for all your help and I hope to be in contact with you by the end of July.

It was great staying at this location. The beach was within a very short walking distance and was not crowded at all. The condo was excellent. We can't wait to go back again. Most definitely recommend this location if you are looking for a failry quiest, relaxing vacation on the beach. Highly recommeded by our family.
Very Nice

We really enjoyed the condo for a week. I think it would help if you would relate that people need to bring simple things like dish soap, scrubber. A small list to review would help so that you didn't have to go to the grocery the first thing.

We had condo 440. It was nice and neat. There was nothing special and fancy, it was normal, regular, spacious, comfortable, and nice, we barely stayed in it because we were busy on the beach and going to Destin and Panama City. We had an amazing time and we were sad to leave, but we'll definately be back at the same condo. We recommend this condo and location to other families.

Last minute but needed weekend away was absolutely wonderful at this condo. Spacious enough to be comfortable with my 3 kids. Nicely decorated and even though it stated pet friendly, you couldnt tell! The unit was perfect with exception of the blender that was replaced immediately (even though didn't ask for it to be) with a new one! Does not have a direct view of beach but is a quick walk away with beach chairs awaiting. I preferred this over a room view as on the beach was where I preferred to be and it saved my back so all I needed was my water and tanning oil! Booking with Renae/Laura was easy and pleasant. They worked quickly to find something to accomodate my last minute request. I look forward to coming back again.

My wife and I rented this unit based on the pictures we saw on line. We were more than amazed at what we found. The view of the beach and Gulf were fantastic. The location was ideal. Traffic was fairly light yet we weren't that far away from Destin and ventured over there almost daily. I would recommend this unit to any of my friends and relatives. The unit is very nice and well stocked with cooking utensils. The master bedroom with the king size bed is excellent and we actually woke up refreshed each morning. This is an ideal location because you are away from the crowd in Destin but close enough to go there and enjoy the resturants and shopping. We will return again.

Dear Virginia
My friend of 50 years was jailed for two years for child abuse. I was so shocked. We belonged to a large friendship group, with dinner parties at his home. Since then, contact between us all has stopped. It is as if a pall of embarrassment has fallen on us all. My friend didn't answer the Facebook message I sent him saying I had always considered him a friend. I've always thought him a nice guy, educated, generous and well-liked. He was full of remorse, but two of the girls are, according to reports, still traumatised. What should I do?
Yours sincerely, Greville
Virginia says...
It sounds to me as if you're hankering for a continuation of the good times, even though your friend is in prison. And no wonder – you're feeling the loss of a gang of affectionate friends. If I'm right, have you thought of initiating some social events yourself? You've got no idea – maybe your friends are longing to be asked to dinner, but are too embarrassed to set the ball rolling. Someone's got to do it – so why not you? The worst they can do is say no.
But if they do say no, it'll be because they feel tainted by having ever been associated with this man. These feelings are very primitive. They may feel that just to be connected again in the same way will remind them of the child abuse, and of their friendship with a man who they now feel is completely beyond the pale. They don't want to be reminded that they once drank wine at his table, ate his food, laughed at his jokes and, if they were honest, actually felt fond of the chap.
They can't disassociate his generosity and kindness as a friend from his unspeakable sexual predilections, even though, most unusually, I must say, he appears to feel intense remorse for what he did. But it seems, from your Facebook message to him, as if you are prepared to maintain your friendship with this man, despite what he's done. You appear to hate the sin but love the sinner.
If you really want to stay friends, I'd find out what prison this man is in and start writing to him. (He almost certainly won't have been allowed to use Facebook). Almost certainly, he'll be overjoyed to hear from you. But remember that it's one thing to offer succour and support to a criminal in prison, but another to deal with their friendship when they get out. Are you strong enough? I've been in your position a couple of times and naturally been pleased to see my friends when they're released. But when I've mentioned that I'm having supper with someone who's been in prison for sexual offences or attempted murder, I've noticed other friends can shrink away from me and say: "But how could you?" You may think that being imprisoned is enough without being socially shunned as well, but not everyone agrees.
So I suggest that, first, you ask everyone over and see if you get a response. But don't be surprised if you get a cool reaction – and even if you do get a group together, remember it will never be quite the same without your friend's presence.
And second, do stay in touch with your friend, but only after you've made sure you can cope with the follow-through when he's out. To befriend him in prison and shun when he's free would be too cruel. Even to a child abuser like him.
Readers say...
Write him a letter
Greville, he may not have been able to access Facebook. I think that you should write him an old-fashioned letter of support and friendship. Also, find out where he plans to live afterwards, and look into local support groups and rehabilitation services, in readiness for his release.
Rachel Davies, by email
Don't write him off
This man has already been punished through the courts: is it for us to add to his punishment? If you can be sure that he is persevering with any medication and/or therapy prescribed, and that nothing your group does brings him into contact with vulnerable people – abusers are often tempted to re-offend – then don't write him off.
Bob, by email
Is he really guilty?
Not all convictions are sound. You must make your own mind up both as to the seriousness of the crime and his guilt.
If you believe he should have been charged and that he was correctly found guilty, then drop him.
If you think the offence should not have ended in court and/or that he is not guilty, then don't.
Deborah, by email
Keep your distance
I cannot understand why you want to remain friends with somebody who has.been found guilty of abusing children. You need to keep your distance and get on with your life. If you don't, and you pursue this friendship, people may turn against you.
Angela Laird, by email
Have nothing to do with him
Do not have anything to do with him. I know we are supposed to forgive, but this is unforgivable. If, that is, you are absolutely sure he did what they say he did. And it sounds as if you are. The more we can show that the world will not accept such behaviour from men towards young girls the better a place it will be.
As for the other people in your group, they will sort things out the way they want to, and it may be that you can continue to be friends without him. It will take time, that's all.

Next week's dilemma
I stopped drinking six months ago. I never appeared drunk and none of my friends knew I drank so much (two bottles of wine a night sometimes) but I felt bad, physically and emotionally, so I gave up. I had often tried, but this time, it worked. The problem is that although I have found I feel better, I find socialising really hard, and now I'm going through a very tough time and long to pop out and get a bottle of wine. I have read a book on drinking moderately, and wonder if it will work for me? And yet I don't want to risk going back to heavy drinking. Do you have any advice?
Yours sincerely,
What would you advise Rosemarie to do? Write to firstname.lastname@example.com. Anyone whose advice is quoted or whose dilemma is published will receive a box of Belgian Chocolates from funkyhampers.com

There's much more excitement to watching a short film than a long film: while a longer film has plenty of time to succeed or fail, the shorter film is like a burst of lightning. Either it perfectly strikes ground, leaving a substantial mark, or it flutters through the sky inconsequentially: it may look pretty, but few actually notice it. So where does David Branin's Shoot-Out stand in this meteorological metaphor?
In terms of cinematography and direction, Shoot-Out truly does leave its mark. Never before have I seen such an artistic basketball game (on film or otherwise). While the beginning shots are beautiful, lazy California wide open spaces, Branin brings a fury and intensity to the basketball court with his almost nauseatingly intense, jerky action shots. The dichotomy of motions is enough to compel and emotionally entangle an audience, but at the same time, each frame of the film looks composed enough to be an artistic still photograph as well.
Yet there is a huge problem with Shoot Out: the writing. Branin is a very talented director, but the script doesn't live up to the promise of its images. While the story is an interesting idea (two men play a basketball game to the death), it's overall ridden with pretension and just poor planning. The beginning of the film is interspersed with images of the basketball game that is about to happen, but at the same time, how are these two men supposed to know that they're going to play basketball to the death?
While these moments build tension in an already very tense situation, they also build way too much confusion for an analytical viewer. Are we supposed to assume that they have already played a basketball game before? Are we supposed to feel that the two main characters are channeling their negative emotions through visions of violent basketball games? Also problematic is the ending of the film; Shoot-Out builds negative, nervous energy in both dialogue and imagery, but never is this energy fulfilled.
The ending of the film leaves the already troubled viewer with even more annoying questions. Yes, yes, there's a philosophical message to be found, but at the same time, it's executed so poorly that those who like philosophical movies will experience more of a moment of zen from a long eye roll.
Yet, despite all the complaining about writing, Shoot-Out is worth seeing for any lover of basketball. Actors Tyshawn Bryant and Daniel Sol look fantastic and play with exciting, poetic grace. Overall this is an excellent movie to show anyone who thinks that sports are totally isolated from the world of art and poeticism, or to show to someone who's nostalgic for the days of Roman gladiators.
Shoot-Out is an official selection for EgoFest Short Video Festival, to be screened in Brainerd, MN on June 24. A limited-edition DVD will be released on May 15; for more information, visit the Shoot-Out MySpace page, or e-mail Dream Regime.

Fair Isaac Adds Collection Score
Fair Isaac Corp., the a provider of analytics and decision management technology, has unveiled a comprehensive new suite of predictive scores at its 2007 Collections and Recovery User Group meeting here. Available immediately, Fair Isaac Collection Scores are designed to help financial service firms in North America and the United Kingdom improve collection decisions and operational efficiency, the company said.
Fair Isaac Collection Scores are designed to fine-tune lenders' ability to prioritize accounts in early-stage collections for both card and loan portfolios. Using early-stage collection scores, credit grantors can segment a portfolio based on accounts' risk of rolling to later delinquency stages.
"Fair Isaac Collection Scores build upon Fair Isaac's extensive experience in developing innovative analytic technologies for the collections and recovery industry," said Sally Taylor-Shoff, vice president of product management, analytic products at Fair Isaac, in a news release.

After months of waiting, WWE and Fergal Devitt yesterday confirmed that they had come to an agreement, with the former New Japan Pro Wrestling star reporting to the Performance Centre in Orlando. The Irish wrestler, who as Prince Devitt held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title three times for more than a thousand days in total, told WWE.com: "This is something I've been looking forward to since I was maybe four or five years old."
The announcement was a long time coming. Devitt parted company with his Japanese employers more than six months ago and seemingly spent the entire intervening period teasing fans on Twitter with hints at the inevitable.

Prince Devitt (@fergaldevitt) May 14, 2014
Devitt trained in the UK, but his break came when he was spotted by scouts for New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2005 while wrestling at a spot show in Nashville, Tennessee. Moving to Tokyo, he took to the 'dojo' lifestyle, training hard and living there even after he became an established name. By 2007, he had won his first title, the junior heavyweight tag belt. Three years later, he cut through the best of his weight class to take win the Best of the Super Junior tournament and then the junior heavyweight title itself, following in the footsteps of honourable gaijin such as Owen Hart and Chris Benoit, as well as Japanese legends like Jushin Liger.
From then on, he remained around the business end of the card, defeating top-tier homegrown wrestlers like Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi and forming Bullet Club, a stable of foul-mouthed Anglophones which shocked Japanese crowds with brashness, violence and, of course, cheating. His defeat to Kota Ibushi in his last match at the Tokyo Dome in January marked the end of his third and longest IWGP Junior Heavyweight title run. It also heralded the beginning of a world tour of indie shows in comic-book cosplay, ending only with his signing to WWE and presumably becoming subject to copyright laws.
It remains to be seen whether Devitt can succeed in the WWE environment, much less aggressive and more colourful than the Japanese promotion where he thrived. A shade below six feet tall, with a Celtic complexion and a malevolent whisper of a voice, he doesn't fit the prototype of the American 'superstar'.
But there are reasons to be optimistic. The first is simply that the WWE came for him. He won't seem imposing in the Land of Giants. He has little experience at any significant level in the United States. The company already has the 'Irish guy' box ticked. But the talent scouts and decision-makers of Stanford, Connecticut still decided that Devitt had whatever they're looking for. Though the announcement didn't come until yesterday, Devitt's loss to Ibushi – and his subsequent disappearance from New Japan – pulled him out of a trajectory that seemed inevitably headed toward contention for the second most prestigious title in the world. In fact, his immediate replacement as the leader of Bullet Club, AJ Styles, won the gold on his first night. Promises, you feel, must have been made to Devitt.
The second reason Devitt is likely to succeed is simply that he is an utter phenomenon in the ring. His signature two-footed stomp seems, even in the context of strong-style Japanese wrestling, unnecessarily vicious. His movement and sense of space are impeccable. He wrestles like a man who wants to win the fight. If anything instructive has come from Daniel Bryan's long, slow rise, it's that being good at your job is sometimes enough, even if your muscles don't pop.
But then again, Devitt's muscles do pop – he is unlikely to run into the problems Chris Hero encountered with shedding his belly. He will work hard. His personality isn't particularly conducive to a goofy gimmick, meaning WWE will probably at some point have to let him vituperate at the Miz before breaking his limbs – getting him over with the smarks. If you're going to sign the short white guy, Fergal Devitt is as safe an investment as you're going to find.
There are risks, however, for his career as much as for the WWE. Stardom in Japan is one thing, but the lure of being able to turn on the television for back-up when your aunt asks you what exactly it is you do for a living is a strong one, and plenty of indie wrestlers with momentum behind them have been deflated by the bureaucracy and the reprogramming of WWE's developmental programme – not least the aforementioned Chris Hero.
The lustre of Devitt as the man who went toe to toe with Tanahashi will have faded if, in 18 months, he is out of the company and casting around for work in the super-indies. And, frankly, if he wrestles in the same style on Smackdown as he did in Japan, he will scare children. Whether he can temper the aggression but maintain the attitude is the great question of the NXT era.

Less than a mile from Broadway at the Beach. It's easy to be entranced by people zipping back and forth across Lake Broadway on the Soar & Explore zipline. And, periodically, the roar of the dragon at Dragon's Lair Fantasy Golf course grabs everyone's attention.
Happy music and the laughter of small children enjoying kiddie rides seems to always be in the air, while the excited screams of bigger kids and adults delighting in thrill rides inspire many more to take on those challenges.
Even looking to the sky from Broadway showcases the fun and excitement of Helicopter Adventures giving guests on short flights a bird's eye view of Myrtle Beach.
Visit Ripley's Aquarium for the day!!
While the sites are engaging, the smells are enticing. The aromas that drift out of the many different restaurants inform the senses that there are a lot of good food choices to be had. It's also easy to be charmed into snacking by the sweet scents of taffy or fudge being freshly made in shop windows.
Even sitting down for a break fills the senses. Celebrity Square is a good place to pause, listen to music coming out of the clubs, and do some people watching.
A walk around Broadway is about more than just going the distance. It's a positively awesome way to enjoy the largest entertainment venue in South Carolina, and to understand why millions of visitors come to Broadway every year.
Golf at any of the 100 courses in the area with our golf package discounts.
Public beach access is 2 miles from your condo on 48th Street.
We're 5 miles to the Convention Center.

Roots Music: Alex Caton & Peter Winne In Concert
Wednesday, May 25th at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room
The Virginia-based roots music duo Alex Caton and Peter Winne will perform a dynamic mix of energetic Appalachian fiddle tunes, classic country, gospel, and original songs. In the year-and-a-half they've been playing together, Alex and Pete have quickly established themselves as the newest link in central Virginia's unusually rich acoustic music lineage.
Individually, the two have no shortage of kudos. Winne is a 2010 Berea College Appalachian music fellow and a former winner on A Prairie Home Companion's "People in their Twenties" competition on NPR. Caton is an Orange County, VA Champion fiddler and was nominated for a 2009 Virginia Commission for the Arts Heritage Award. Together, the duo plays music that feels as much at home in a modern big-city venue as it would have at the Grand Ole Opry in the 1940s. Alex plays fiddle and guitar and Pete plays guitar and banjo. Both musicians sing, delivering harmonies that recall the singing of fellow girl-guy roots music duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Although based in Virginia, Pete grew up in Wethersfield, CT.
Please register online or by phone at (203)265-6754.

As we mourn the passing of all these sweet people,
We see the bad, and all that is brutal,
We get scared of the future, and to what might happen,
But we can't let it stop us, for the changes that we must adapt in,
Yes, the change could cause some regrets,
But it needs to happen before another upset,
For no one else should have to suffer a loss,
This is why Jesus, died for us on the cross,
To live our lives, with little or no fear,
Even if the end, was starting to near,
We need to live our lives to the best of our abilities,
Why don't we all get along and stop this hostility.

The latest addition to Samsung's popular Galaxy range of Android smartphones is the S4 Active, a new high-end smartphone aimed at the needs of the "active user".
The key point of difference for the Active from other smartphones is its durability. It has qualified protection from both dust and water, and the fully sealed design means the phone can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter.
The innards are nothing special for a high-end handset but are more than what's expected for a quasi 'specialist' phone. There's a 1.9 GHz quad-core processor, a 5-inch full HD screen, and an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash.
The screen resolution comes in at a massive 443 ppi – substantially better quality than the 336 ppi found in the iPhone 5, and only a step below the 468 ppi found on the HTC One. There's also 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory – though only 11.25GB of that is usable.
Other additions to make the Active live up to its name include 'Glove Touch' (which allows the touchscreen to be operated with gloves); 'Aqua Mode', which improves the quality of underwater images; and a water-resistant earphone jack for listening to music in wet environments.
Samsung describe the phone's ideal user as one "who wants to stay connected while exploring environments from the most rugged mountain trails to the roughest rivers" – though equally the average user might just fancy a bit more protection for their new phone.
As our smartphones become more of an investment, it makes sense to choose models that can stand up to a bit of punishment - Sony released their similarly waterproof Xperia Z in May this year.
The S3 Active will be coming out this summer some time, with Phones4U already confirming they'll be stocking it. However, there's no word of tariffs or networks, though more details will emerge, no doubt, at Samsung's big media event on 20 June.

Deletion a Minor Speed Bump?
The controversy over the Orwell deletion represented a minor speed bump over the summer to Amazon.com's distribution of the Kindle, which until then had been greeted with much fanfare as the possible future of reading. In high-profile events in New York City, one of which featured a reading by Stephen King, Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos had unveiled successive iterations of the e-reader for media, showing off features such as wireless downloading. On July 16, a number of Kindle users reported that copies of "Animal Farm" and "1984" had disappeared from the e-readers' archived items library. This was followed in short order by an e-mail from Amazon.com, informing them that their copies of the works had been deleted and that the online retailer would refund the purchase price.On July 25, Bezos tendered a personal apology on his site for the deletion, two days after posting a similar missive on Amazon.com's Kindle site. "This is an apology for the way we previously handled illegally sold copies of '1984' and other novels on Kindle," Bezos wrote in that latter message, which appeared on the site's community forum. "Our 'solution' to the problem was stupid, thoughtless and painfully out of line with our principles." Describing the wound to the company as "self-inflicted," Bezos added, "We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward, ones that match our mission." At the time, users of the Kindle site's community board seemed to largely accept the apology. "I just got my Kindle today," one poster wrote. "I can tell you the issue possibly of deleting copies without permission was considered heavily. Thank-you for respecting what shred of autonomy I have left." Despite the controversy, Kindle devices have been selling at a healthy clip. Bezos admitted over the summer that Kindle-related sales have brought in 35 percent of his company's book-related revenue, although he has declined to offer exact figures. Other companies large and small, including Sony and Plastic Logic, have either launched or plan to launch their own e-readers in order to capitalize on what many view as a growing market. However, some analysts also feel that the e-reader industry will need to make fairly substantial changes if it wants to collectively make its devices as ubiquitous as possible. In a September research note, Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps suggested that Amazon.com will need to ultimately lower its price point. "The cost of the display component is high and sales volumes are still modest, yet consumers demand and expect ever-lower prices," Epps wrote. "The bottom line: E-reader product strategists will have to educate consumers and innovate to bring prices down. Even if they are entirely successful at both these feats, e-readers will never be mass-market devices like MP3 players." The latest-generation Kindle DX sells for $489 and includes a 9.7-inch screen. The original Kindle retails for $299. In August, Sony announced two new e-readers with price points of $199 and $299, seemingly designed to take Amazon.com's pricing structure head-on. The e-reader market could also be drastically affected if Apple's long-rumored tablet PC comes with integrated e-reading functionality. This could introduce yet another robust competitor into the space, especially if Apple chooses to begin selling digital books or other media through the iTunes store.
The irony of Amazon.com deleting two books dealing with themes of totalitarian control was lost on few. Rushing to defend itself, Amazon.com issued a July 17 statement stating that the works had been pulled because the publisher who issued them for the Kindle did not, in fact, own the original rights.

Lake Thingvallavatn
Discover The largest natural lake in Iceland
Lake Thingvallavatn is the largest natural lake in Iceland and reaches depths of over 110 meters. Cast your line in these pristine waters and catch some of the region's best Arctic char and brown trout.
Catch Large Wild Brown Trout
In Lake Thingvallavatn and the Nesjavellir area there are numerous hot springs maintaining a constant 3 – 4°C. Here, life flourishes and the Brown Trout have a huge quantity of natural food from midge to stickleback.
Stories of extraordinary battles have gone down in folklore with the largest fish landed in 2013 being 36 lbs. Much like the UK reservoirs, the lake is fished with a variety of fly fishing methods which are dictated by the conditions at the time.
Flies range from small nymphs and dries to large and heavy streamers, and with all methods there is the opportunity to catch some very large wild brown trout. As well as the large browns, Thingvallavatn is the only place in Iceland with four varieties of Arctic char that can be caught on fly too.The guides have access to three private areas of the lake that are regarded as some of the best places to encounter these large fish.
Luxorious Lakeside Lodge
There are plenty of accommodation options that combine well with Thingvallavatn, including staying in the capital Reykjavik.
We do however recommend anglers stay in a luxury lodge by the lake. The lodge is a modern three bedroom house overlooking the lake. It has all modern facilities, large veranda with hot tub, BBQ and a fireplace. There is a fully equipped kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. The spacious kitchen and living room have exceptional views over the lake, you can literally watch fish rising whilst you relax.
Lake Thingvallavatn
Lake Thingvallavatn is situated in Thingvellir National Park in south-western Iceland. The largest natural lake in Iceland it covers 84 km² and reaches depths of up to 114 metres.
The volcanic origin of the islands in the lake is clearly visible. The cracks and faults around it, of which the famous Almannagjá canyon is the largest, is where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Silfra fissure, in the lake is rated as one of the 50 top scuba diving sites in the world partly due to the astonishing clarity of the lake water.

Location: Iceland
Water Type: Freshwater
Capacity: 6
Species: Brown Trout, Arctic Char

We are forecasting highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s along with less wind. Pleasant weather will continue tonight with lows near 60. With the lower humidity levels, it will be very comfortable this evening. Tomorrow will be a little warmer, but the quiet weather pattern will continue in KELOLAND. Thunderstorm chances will be found in the Black Hills region, but most other areas will likely stay dry. That could change on Saturday. A disturbance arriving from the northwest could spark storm development in the afternoon and evening, mainly in the southeast. If humidity values increase ahead of this disturbance, we could be looking at some severe weather with hail. Keep watching the forecast for details.

What is haptic technology?
Haptic technology uses motion and vibration to create different sensations which are detected by our sense of touch. It provides a natural way to interact with digital devices and user interfaces.
At Lofelt, we created the world's most advanced high-definition haptic engine – the LoSound engine – to provide a new and unique experience of sound and music.
The first ever product to be equipped with our HD haptic engine is the Basslet, a wearable subwoofer for music listening, gaming and VR.
How does the Basslet work?
The Basslet is an innovative wearable that provides an immersive music experience through the use of a haptic technology for sound. It recreates the bass frequencies of music in high fidelity and sends them directly to your body. Sound and feeling become one experience: not only will you hear the sound – but you will also feel it, physically.
It's just so intense. You wouldn't think the Basslet would be able to match the same pace and intensity of your music. But it does.
Stefan Zilch, Spotify, Managing Director CEE
