Our second City Sponsored parade and display light up at City Hall is over and again a huge success!
And again I need to thank a group of guys that if not for them it just wouldn't be possible and that is our Public Works Department (Tom LaFollette, John Bradley, Mark Branham, Josh Edwards, Mike Leslie, Pete Plush, Christian Ramsey and Scotty Smothers) and our Sewer Department (Scott Fleming, Rocky Price, Jeremy Keith and Pat Welsh).
I want to write this letter that seems to be positive about our Bullitt County Public Schools.
At the end of September, I lost my wife to stage 4 breast cancer. My son attends North Bullitt High School. The day of the funeral I was set back and could not believe my eyes. The principal had let his baseball team and friends sign out to attend the funeral. The coaches and some of the parents also attended.
In all my years of hearing negativity about our schools, that to see all these people as a family come to pay their respects was amazing.
First of all I was a sinner, saved by the grace of God just as you were.
Second, I am a disabled veteran of World War II and proud of it. I have been in church as long as I can remember. I can see a drastic change in our society and the church today.
At one time, our nation wasknown as a Christian nation. Not today.
And the church today is filled with so much rock throwing back and forth and gossip. This is sin within itself and yet there are some who act so holy holy and they are the ones who are throwing the rocks and gossip.
The Brooks PTA would like to thank the following companies for their donation to our Fall Festival. Because of their generosity we had a very successful event.
As current president of The Fellowship of Concern, "Thank You" for your coverage of Community Thanksgiving Service held at First Baptist Church in Shepherdsville the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving.
After reading the article, I do want to clarify, a bit, about the Fellowship. Mentioned, were several churches represented in the leadership of the Worship Service. I want to give recognition and thanks to all the churches and the Community at large that support the Fellowship of Concern.
Thank God that our folks who were not all happy with the outcome of the election did not react like many in nation by disrupting the lives of their fellow man by seizing the streets protesting. If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade, for 4 days and nights they have disrupted our nation apparently they never work or go to school to improve their lifestyle. Instead of being negative look at what they could have done for our nation, volunteering to clean up their neighborhoods.
On behalf of the Bullitt Co. Sheriff's Office we would like to thank Everyone who supported our D.A.R.E. Chili Supper.
You may have made a donation for the raffle, gave money or just came and ate. Your generosity was greatly appreciated. Without the support of the community, we could not have the D.A.R.E program. We would also like to thank the First Baptist Church for the use of their hall, the Bullitt Co. Women's Club and the employees of the Sheriff's Office.
Please allow me a few thoughtful moments as you prepare to cast your vote for someone to continue to strongly speak for you at your State Capitol in the Kentucky House of Representatives. As your former governor and now a state senator for some 12 years, I want to share with you that the re-election of Linda Belcher is vital to Bullitt County.
We just wanted to say a special thank you to everyone who supported and participated in the Mended Hearts Third Annual Golf Scramble.
We could not have had this success without your sponsorships, donations and participation to raise awareness for heart disease.

After the dumpster fire that was the last week of our 2016 season, we knew changes were coming. There were a couple announcements that were a little bit of a surprise and, and welcome at the same time. First, Jack Jewsbury is retired from the pitch, but sticking around the Timbers organization as Director of Business Development. Many had speculated that he might return to the Kansas City area, so supporters were happy to learn that Captain jack is sticking around.

Blog readers are important but they are not sacred.
The other day I was reading through the comments after a pretty good blog post and noticed that one of the readers disagreed with the writer. Within minutes, the blogger penned a profuse apology, articulated a passionate clarification, and threw in a few Hail Mary's to boot. A few minutes later, the reader returned and absolved the blogger of any sin and all was well in the world.
Or was it?
You see, at times, you need to have a strong opinion and stick to it, even if your readers disagree.
Stand Up For Yourself or Sit Down and Shut Up
Your opinion defines your approach, your expertise, and your perspective. It makes you unique. That's why you should never write something you aren't willing to fight for.
Read "French Kissing With The Dark Lord of Blogging PR" for an example of me sticking my neck out for Ryan Holiday – an awesome thinker and the single biggest contributor to me losing over 100 subscribers within 2 hours.
But sometimes bloggers take this a bit too far – in the wrong direction.
They grope for the mushy middle and stick to writing that is bland, non-confrontational, and safe. They report on the news. They champion the third person. They make sure that no one mistakes them for being anything more than tasty, warm, milk-toast.
That's not what your readers want.
They want a yardstick to measure their opinions against. They want to know if you are worth following. They want to know if you have guts or will you cut bait and run. Think about it, does anyone want to share a wishy-washy post that manages to use 700 words to say…nothing? Or do you want a crystal clear clarion call that forces you to decide where you stand?
The Day I Learned How to Pi*s in the Wind
When I started Pushing Social, I offended a pretty popular reader. After ripping me a new one, he threatened to "out" me to his vast web audience unless I publicly recanted. I did what you would expect – I turned tail and ran for the hills.
I pulled up the blog post that offended my reader and began editing. After all, I thought, I didn't need the negative publicity.
I still remember my finger hovering over the return key. Thank God I didn't publish my revision.
I erased it, started a new email, puffed out my chest, and told the reader to go _bleep__ himself. I was right. He was wrong. He didn't appreciate my newly minted pair of brass ones and proceeded to rip me up and down on his web show.
Thank God. My traffic went up and many of those readers are still hanging around Pushing Social today.
Remember something…
You can't ease yourself into a position of authority, credibility, and expertise. You will have to kick down a few intellectual doors. You might unintentionally rub folks the wrong way. But you should never back down – unless you are wrong. Then do what Apple's CEO, Tim Cook did and say "I Screwed Up" and move on.
Your backbone will inspire your audience and embolden your fans. You'll influence more, sell more, and achieve more. This is what makes blogging such a powerful marketing tool. Don't be afraid to use it.
"I dedicate this post to my Mom who taught me which fights to start and my Dad taught me which ones to finish"

Poker Hand Matchup: Anthony Gregg vs. Chris Moorman
Preflop, with the blinds at 400 and 800 and a 100 ante, Todd Terry raised to 2,000 from late position, Moorman reraised to 4,800 from the button, Gregg reraised to 11,800 from the big blind, Terry folded, Moorman went all-in, and Gregg called.
Fresh off the win of his first major at the 2014 WPT LA Poker Classic, Moorman gives us a glimpse into his extremely aggressive preflop play. After trying to pick off a potential steal attempt from Terry with a three-bet, Moorman doubled down undeterred by Gregg's cold four-bet out of the blinds. Moorman was hoping Gregg was also up to a steal, making a move based on the hostile dynamics between late position openers and the players they try to loot in the blinds. Moorman's deep stack and the signs of strength from an accomplished opponent might have made the play unnecessarily risky, but these types of preflop antics are part and parcel of Moorman's success both live and online. Gregg had Moorman in a bad spot, but a lucky flop gave Moorman the open-ended straight draw and Gregg a sweat. Gregg faded the draw, and his new found chips helped carry him to the final table where he finished in 7th for $ 189,244.

Jennifer Aniston is covering GQ Spain, and if the picture looks familiar, there's a reason: The photo is actually from her 2008 shoot for Vogue.
The sexy snapshot isn't the only thing that made the Vogue piece memorable — in an accompanying interview, Aniston uttered her famous line, 'What Angelina [Jolie] did was very uncool.'
And whether the photo is a repeat or not, we love us some Jennifer Aniston, so we compiled a look at some of her best magazine covers in the photo gallery above.
In other Aniston news, the actress just returned to LA with boyfriend Justin Theroux. The two, who have been dating for a year, had enjoyed a romantic getaway in Italy.

The NautiFish is not your typical Lake bar. The expansive menu boasts unique tasty signature sharing items, like the "Saba Rocks" – golden fried cheese stuffed sausage balls and the hand butterflied and breaded Coconut Shrimp served with a piña colada dipping sauce. For the larger appetite, the NautiFish has a variety of specialty sandwiches and entrées, all handmade with locally sourced and purchased ingredients. Take the "All Nighter" for example, a hand-pressed half-pound burger topped with hash-browns, an over easy egg and smokehouse bacon.
Being the only waterfront bar and restaurant on the Niangua, the owners are looking forward to bringing the life back into the west side of the Lake. Always interacting with the customers, Rob, Michael and Nick are looking forward to being part of the community and love to get feedback, comments, and suggestions.

Software Engineering LOL
This is a very old post that was automatically imported from LiveJournal. I have done my best to fix up the formatting, but some issues may remain. Comments have not been preserved.
I'm not sure how other companies approach milestone releases. I get the impression from various bits of software that I use that the big open-source projects tend to have a series of alpha, beta and release candidate releases during the months leasing up to a release, complete with feature freezes, code freezes and all sorts of other measures to keep things under control.
Where's this going? Ah yes, here.
The project on which I work has just brought in three extra developers (to add to the original one, me). All four of us are, of course, working on code we didn't write or don't have a lot of experience with. A lot of us have worked both of the last two weekends. The old bug tracking system (the rant-inspiring paper folder) has been abandoned, simply because there are so many bugs that we barely have time to fix, let alone write down.
My software, by which I mean the software I inherited from someone with a very tenuous grasp of how to code properly, is currently on build 504. There's not yet been a build that has stood unchanged for more than a day, so turning one of these builds into even an alpha release, is a far-off goal.
The Bug Tracker Version 2 (whiteboard) currently shows 5 "show-stopper" bugs, and three more that are merely critical.
Now it turns out that the customers are visiting on Wednesday, and guess what they're expecting? Version 1.0. So, whatever mess we have at the end of tomorrow… I get to mark it as 1.0, and watch a tiny part of my soul die.

3 Tips to Overcome Laziness: My Best Tips!
TRUTH. If you hate starting over, then Stop Quitting!
Monday are great days to set new goals and NEW intentions. Here are 3 tips to use for trying a new class and making your workouts fun! I shared my own experiences in using each of these tips, I'd love to hear if these helped you today!!
1) Just Give it a TRY. Trying new classes or formats can be intimidating, even if you are a regular group fitness class junkie. Sometimes we put off trying something because of perceptions that we are not at a level high enough to do well, for fear of failure or even social status only triathletes do those classes or that workout will be hard on my knees. In MY EXPERIENCE…I hear about new classes or I'm invited to a jam session, zumbathon, its all good things! For me my excuse was that classes didn't fit in my busy schedule. It's about making that time for yourself friends! It's about getting off your butt and making it THERE and then be ready to give it your best. Where there's a will, there's a way!
2) Focus on your RESULTS. We all want to improve, be better than we were yesterday, last week or last year even. It's easy to fall into same routine of workouts and your body gets in a rhythm. Daily habits and rituals are great, dont get me wrong! It's up to us to challenge ourselves and our bodies to move in new ways. You will be surprised by the results and how you feel by adding in a workout that you normally do not do. MY EXPERIENCE….I am a cardio junkie! Yep I do zumba 2-4x a week and running floods my body full of endorphins and feel good vibes. I find that I need to make the extra EFFORT to schedule in strength and flexibility workouts or they just don't happen. If possible you can look for what is commonly called FUSION classes or classes like Yoga Sculpt which promise to deliver more than 1 format in ONE workout.
3) Buddy Up! Call up a girlfriend and make it a date, or if you're out with friends have them pull out their calendar and right there pull up the schedule of that kickboxing class down the street (thank you technology and smart phones!) and set a day/time to get together to attend a class. The other way I get friends to meet me is I post on social media the day and class I want to attend and see if anyone else is available– so try tweeting it or sharing it on facebook. When you have something planned with a friend, you are less likely to skip that workout! MY EXPERIENCE….hanging out with friends post run or workouts we like to chit chat about our week ahead and what we will be doing for fitness. For instance, one week post-run a friend handed me a FREE 2 week pass to core power yoga studio and begged me to attend the 9am yoga sculpt class with her that day. It was something I had wanted to try so I jumped and said I'd make it happen. Went home, made kiddos breakfast. Rinsed off from my run, grabbed a mat, water bottle and towel and made it to that session on time!
So today, drop your excuses and this month make a conscious effort to get out there and try a new class, take your bike on a new trail or lace up and run a trail instead of the track.
Keep pushing your body, you may surprise yourself and find that you can do much more than you think you can!
I believe in you!

So there's a new infant in your life, and you're thinking about trying to capture a few newborn portraits. Photography sessions with an infant varies wildly from portrait photography sessions with older children or adults. You've got to follow a couple of rules, you've got to remember that babies are generally not going to care that they might be messing up the vision you have for the shoot, and you've got to remember that above all, you're not in charge of the shoot nearly as much as you think you are. This article will spotlight ten tips to help you take some great newborn portraits, even with the fussiest of subjects.

10. A Stocked Diaper Bag is Your New Best Friend
Babies are needy. Not just a little needy, but extremely needy. You're going to need a stocked baby bag close by, so you're not rummaging around your house, trying to find that pacifier when your little angel gets fussy. This is doubly important if you're not photographing your baby in your own home. If it isn't your kid, just make sure mom (or dad!) stocks a diaper bag and brings it along! Things to put into the diaper bag: bottles, formula or milk, a few pacifiers, some favorite toys or stuffed animals, extra diapers, blankets, washcloths and spit-up rags, and extra outfits.
- slide 3 of 11
9. Happy Babies are Warm Babies
One of peoples' favorite ways to photograph newborns generally seems to be with the baby either completely naked (al la bear skin rug shots) or in their diapers. This generally allows you to see the soft, cuddliness of newborns. Even if you're photographing them with clothes on, chances are that what you find warm and cozy, the baby might find a little cool. Turn up the heat or bring out space heaters to warm the area where you're going to be taking pictures. Naturally, if you're using space heaters, keep them at a safe distance from the infant.

8. Blinding a Baby is Generally a Bad Idea
Okay, imagine that you're a few days old. Your favorite things are generally eating, sleeping, and being cuddled. Also, you're not generally a fan of bright lights, which means that you're probably not a big fan of the flash on the camera. When possible, shoot without the flash to avoid bothering the baby's sensitive eyes. Not to mention, the flash generally does strange things to the appearance of infants in photographs. No one wants their kid to look washed out or overly blotchy!
- slide 5 of 11
7. Stoop to Their Level
Don't be afraid to spend a lot of time on your stomach next to a newborn while photographing them. This will be one of the only ways you can comfortably get a close-up without someone holding the infant. Get comfortable with a few pillows and blankets and get up close and personal with Junior! In fact, he probably prefers you to be closer to him anyway, where he can watch what you're doing and enjoy the presence of another person.
- slide 6 of 11
6. Diffuse the Light When Possible
As stated, the flash on a camera can be much too bright for anyone, let alone a newborn. Flash will wash out a baby and make them appear to be pale and almost unhealthy, or it'll bring a lot of attention to the natural red in a newborns skin, making them appear more blotchy. If you can angle your flash, bouncing it off a ceiling will lead to a much softer image. If not, you can always try moving lights around the room when possible. Remember, you aren't trying to blind the kid, after all, so make sure that lamp shades or well-placed white sheets are there to make the light soft and diffused and keep the light bulb from shining directly in the baby's face.

5. Wash that Baby Face!
If you've ever spent any time around a baby, you're probably fully aware that their faces are rarely clean. Runny noses, dried milk, spit-up, and sleep in the eyes are par for the course with a newborn. Keep some cotton swabs and a warm washcloth on hand and wipe up anything on the kids face that you don't want in the picture!
- slide 8 of 11
4. The Angle Option
You can't really pose a newborn in a lot of different ways. Stomach? Sure. Back? Okay. That's about it without the assistance of swings, chairs, and other people. That being said, don't be afraid to pull in a favorite swing, chair, or even another person. Babies love being cuddled, so there are a lot of options to explore. Try an over-the-shoulder shot, or laying on their tummy in mommy or daddy's arms. And don't forget the classic "laying back in the arms" pose! Don't forget that you can always gently prop a baby against something to get a better view of their faces from an angle. These are all very flattering for newborns, and are a bit more interesting than a baby laying by themselves on their back or stomach.

- slide 9 of 11
3. Don't Expect a Lot of Smiles
Newborns don't spend a lot of time smiling. In fact, they don't spend a lot of time doing too much of anything other than sleeping and eating. That doesn't mean that you can't get some great shots! There's something angelic about a sleeping newborn cradled in someone's arms. And is there anything cuter than a newborn happily nursing from a bottle? Of course not! And if a kid is fussy, don't be afraid to pop a pacifier in because that is melt-your-heart cute! The trick is to take a lot of pictures of the infant doing what (s)he does best. When all else fails, take a lot of pictures from different angles, and see what ones you like best!
- slide 10 of 11
2. When in Doubt, Go With Timeless Black and White
Newborns tend to be a bit red in their first week or two of life, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it just doesn't look good in a picture. What do you do about this? Simple! Remove the color from the image! Black and white newborn portrait photography is classic and timeless, and allows for you to show all the soft cuddliness of a baby without worrying about them appearing too red or blotchy. This is one of the simplest fixes, and I highly recommend it.

- slide 11 of 11
1. Stop When the Baby Says It's Time to Stop
It doesn't matter if you can do a photography shoot for five or six hours at a time, if the baby becomes fussy or upset with what is going on, take a break, or wait until the next day. Bright lights, strange objects, and people shuffling around them are likely to make them a bit irritated or nervous, which doesn't translate well in photographs, and it isn't doing your baby any favors either. Watch the babies cues to see if they're hungry, need a diaper change, sleepy, or if they're just annoyed with the situation, and fix accordingly. After all, when working with such tiny models, you'll quickly learn that you're not the one calling the shots!

History: Hardin County was formed in 1851. It was named after Colonel John J. Hardin, who fell in the Mexican-American War. In its history the county has had three courthouses. The first was a small wood framed building, which bued down in the 1850s. The second courthouse was a two-story building and stood on the site of the current office of the county sheriff. The third and present courthouse was constructed in 1892 and opened on September 19, 1893. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Hardin County, along with Story County, was also a primary filming location for the 1996 movie Twister, starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.

A University of Brighton engineer has designed an innovative pedal connected to a battery system that enables cyclists to use electric power to propel them uphill.
The system, developed by Stephen Britt, a technician at the University of Brighton's School of Education, consists of a battery-powered motor and a gearbox that relies on pressure applied on a pedal.
On one side of the pedal is a sensor, which provides power whenever the user pushes down the pedal, helping to turn the axle inside.
The inventor believes his invention, making it easier for cyclists to conquer slopes and carry heavy loads, will revolutionise cycling.
"This is the opportunity to open up powered cycling to the masses, globally. This is real game-changing, disruptive technology," said the inventor.
The lightweight mechanism can be fitted to any bike in 15 minutes and continuously propels it for up to 10 miles before it needs recharging. It also allows the full range of gears to be used in the normal way, making climbing hills much easier. Developing his invention for three years, Britt know plans to launch a crowd-funding campaign to help the device to the market.
"Initially, the product will be trialled with small user groups and designs will be updated based on feedback," he said.
"Crowd sourcing will be used to create pre-sales. This is likely to be towards the end of the year. Once significant volume can be reached the system will be able to retail for less than £250, considerably less than competing products."
The idea first entered Britt's mind when he was stuck in a traffic jam in Brighton in a morning rush hour on his way to work. He said the traffic jam gave him time to think about how he could help beat congestion.

De Villota, 32, suffered serious injuries to her face and head after accelerating into a stationary support truck on her first outing in the MR-01. A "comprehensive" internal investigation is ongoing at Marussia to determine why that happened.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive also visited the test track on Wednesday.
After all-night surgery at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, De Villota left theatre on Wednesday morning. She remains in "a critical but stable condition" according to a Marussia team statement.
Team principal John Booth said: "It is with great sadness that I must report that, due to the injuries she sustained, Maria has lost her right eye.
"Maria's care and the wellbeing of her family remain our priority at this time. Her family are at the hospital and we are doing everything possible to support them.
"We would all like to praise the emergency services at Duxford Airfield, who were on stand-by yesterday, as is usual procedure for a Formula One test.
"With regard to the accident, we have embarked on a very comprehensive analysis of what happened and this work continues for the moment."
Booth said the team had been "overwhelmed" by messages of support. De Villota is the daughter of former Formula One driver Emilio de Villota.
McLaren's British drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were among those to send messages of support on Twitter while tennis star Rafael Nadal added his support yesterday.
"María I hope you recover soon, you must be strong and we hope to see you back as soon as possible," he wrote.
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh, meanwhile, has backed sporting director Sam Michael following the latest high-profile pit-stop error at the last race in Valencia which arguably cost the 2008 world champion a shot at victory.
Michael was brought in by Whitmarsh after leaving his technical director role at Williams last year with the aim of making the team run more efficiently.
While McLaren's pit stops have undoubtedly got faster, calamitous errors have cost both drivers points.
"I think Sam has had a tough time, with high expectations, but I think he is good leader material," Whitmarsh said.
"He is someone who is, I am sure, harbouring expectations to kick me out of my job one day.
"And I think that is healthy because there probably wasn't anyone in the company, below me at least, who wanted my job. So I think that is a healthy dynamic.
"I think it has been unfortunate, but he is strong and resilient and we will power through it.
"For the last two grands prix we have had the fastest pit stops in the race, and in the last race we had the fastest pit stop in the history of F1."
Michael said that he was confident there would be no repeat of the jack issue which caused Hamilton's slow stop in Spain.
"We identified why that failed and the design has been modified," he said. "On Monday, we completed 800 pit stops on the jacking systems with no faults at all."

K-Toon: Green Gu Virus, episode one
Today (and I know you've all been waiting for this) is the first episode of my newest K-Toon medical thriller, Green Gu Virus. If you missed last week's Trailer & Cast List, just click to view.
We'll begin with a flashback* back story.
*One of the advantages of K-Tooning a drama is that I don't have to use child actors for my cast in back stories. Nope, in today's drama, Lee Min Ho, Bae Suzy, and Son Ho Jun will all play themselves as 7 year olds. (Pretty good acting, if you ask me.) So, remember, it's about 1985. . .
Wow! Can you believe that? I don't believe I've ever seen a spokes model diss a product on LIVE TV! I bet something big resulted because of that.
Would you let a seven-year-old take over your company? Well, maybe. If there was no one else available. But World Wide Gu had been started by the Gu Brothers, Wu's appa and his uncle Pu. So. . .
Gasp! Never sign a document without reading it. EVEN a kid should know that, right? I wonder what kind of power Hong Young & Mi-Rae will have over Wu Wu if they are able to "fix it" for him?
Obligatory Time Skip:
So, what was on the contract with the devils that Wu Wu signed? Will he be able to avenge his father? When are Lee Kwang Soo and Yu In Young going to be introduced into the drama? These and other pressing questions might be answered in episode two of Green Gu Virus. Stay tooned!

I was in Best Buy the other day and overheard a conversation between the salesperson and a customer. Not once did I hear the questions that should have been asked. No surprise there, it was Best Buy. However, being in the Christmas spirit, I decided to assist the customer while the sales rep ran off to see if there were any Minis in stock.
Here were the questions I asked the customer to help them decide rather than have the salesperson pick for them.
1) How much do you want to spend?
Really a simple question, but there are hidden aspects to the question. Are you willing to have a monthly bill for 3G or LTE connectivity? Do you need to pay for that connectivity? If you have a hot spot option on you phone, you don't need to add that monthly bill. Have you looked at the prices in the various app stores for the apps you are most likely to use? Which leads to question number 2…
2) Are you already heavily invested in a application market or e-book service?
For anyone who has owned an iSomething, Android device, Kindle or Nook. Chances are you have made some purchases. If you have dropped some serious coin into a specific vendor, start looking there unless you are fed up with that service. Also remember Amazon AppStore purchases can be loaded on any Android device by loading the Amazon AppStore application. If you have owned a Nook, but only purchased books, they can be read on Android or iOS by installing the Nook reader.
3) What are you planning to use the tablet for?
Remember, a tablet will not replace a desktop or laptop. However, from personal experience, I can use my tablet for 90% of what I would normally do on a PC. I have found I can use the tablet for almost everything I do at work. My situation is likely different than most as I work mostly from the command line on Unix systems. The office applications available on Android are very usable, some I find more intuitive than the latest release of Microsoft Office.
If you are looking for something you can take anywhere, look into the 7 inch form factor. If you are looking for a coffee table addition, something you wont take out of the house often, look into the 10 inch/larger tablets.
The 7 inch tablets, for the most part, fit into a jacket pocket, jeans pocket or cargo shorts/pants pockets easily. The one big exception is the iPad Mini. It is too large to fit in most pockets. Check the size of the device depending on what you are planning to use it for. Also remember, you will likely get a case which will add some size to the tablet. If it is a tight squeeze without a case, it won't fit with one on.
4) Do you like to tinker and customize?
If you answer yes here, chances are you want Android.
If you answer no or are unsure, spend some quality time with the display unit. Make sure you feel comfortable with the layout. Ask questions on how to organize applications. This is one of my biggest gripes with the Fire, Nook and iDevices. Initially it is easy to find apps when not much is loaded. When you start adding to you devices portfolio of apps, things become quite cluttered and hard to find. Especially if it is a shared device among family members.
5) Storage options
While it is great to have cloud storage, it may not always be accessible. Local storage is a must. Even if you don't think you will need all that space, spend the extra $30-$50 for a little more storage. Especially if the device does not have a SD card option. It is always better to have it available and not use it than realize you need more and can't add it.
My personal taste?
I bought a Nexus 7 16GB, the 32GB wasn't available when I purchased mine. I was heavily invested in the Play Store thanks to my large collection of Android devices. I own or have owned a Droid Incredible, Viewsonic G-Tab, Acer A100, Galaxy Nexus (Verizon), Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Kids) and my Nexus 7. We also have an iPad 2 that was given to us for the kids to use. I rarely touch the iThing, except to plug it in/put it away when the kids leave it laying around.
I have found the battery life in my phone has improved greatly due to me using the tablet for everything. Rarely do I get on my PC at home since getting the N7. It makes a great second screen when viewing TV. It is the perfect size to read books on especially in bed. It is also great for watching Netflix or any other streaming service.
My biggest advice.
Think before you buy and avoid the no-name brands.
There is no sense in taking a chance on an offbrand when Asus, Acer, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and some others stand behind these devices pretty impressively. I have had repairs done by Acer on the A100 nearly a year after purchase still under warranty. Asus has just as awesome of hardware support on their devices. If you didn't know they made tablets, chances are you don't want that tablet. It doesn't matter how good their toasters are.
If you are looking at Android, at a minimum look for something with Ice Cream Sandwich but preferably Jellybean.
If you are looking at a Mini, I would recommend waiting until Gen 2. I personally can't justify the price tag for the right to own something with and Apple on it. (Sorry, I let my personal opinions sneak in.)
If you are looking at a Surface/Windows RT tablet. Remember it will not run the same programs you have on your PC. Wait for the "Pro" version if you are looking for a Windows tablet that runs programs you already own. Be prepared to spend some cash on a "Pro" version as it will be essentially a ultra book.
And the last thing, if the salesman says "it can run Flash". Ask to speak to someone else. Flash went the way of the dodo on mobile devices. You would need to side load it in Android and load a browser that supports flash. Forget about it with an iPad. Thanks to Walmart for that piece of advice, from a different trip to a store.

Jakub Kindl scored on a power play in the second period, Daniel Cleary had an empty-net goal and Jimmy Howard made 27 saves to help the Red Wings hold on for a 2-0 victory over the Blackhawks last night in Detroit, putting the NHL's best team during the regular season on the brink of elimination.
After losing Game 1, the seventh-seeded Red Wings have surged into control of the Western Conference semifinal series by handing Chicago its first three-game losing streak of the year.
Game 5 is tomorrow night in Chicago.
The Blackhawks desperately need captain Jonathan Toews to score and lead after he extended his goal drought in a composure-crumbling performance.
Toews was called for three penalties in the second and could have gone to the box a fourth time in the period for slashing Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg while an official stood between them.
The Red Wings took advantage of the second power play Toews gave them when Kindl sent a low shot to the near corner from the top of the left circle.
Chicago had killed its first 30 penalties of the playoffs and matched the 2001 Blues' feat of playing eight postseason games without giving up a power-play goal, the longest such streak since 1988.
The Blackhawks had a power play with 4:45 left in the game when Kindl was called for hooking, but they couldn't tie the game.
Kings 3, Sharks 0
In Game 5, Jonathan Quick made 24 saves in his seventh career playoff shutout as the host Kings moved to the brink of their second straight trip to the Western Conference finals.
Anze Kopitar and Slava Voynov scored, and Jeff Carter added an empty-net goal for the defending Stanley Cup champs.

Now I've moved away and got a GF and I get so worried being out at nighttime when I'm with her because I know if anything happens I have no way to protect us other then my fists, I'm sort of skinny and never been in a fight in my life. They can do what they want to me though but my main worry is if anyone ever touched her.

You see Walter, this how you know if someone is a professional or a novice. I saw the first foto and I thought it was going to look like an ugly willow at the side of some narrow, country road in Portugal. But you knew immediately that it would end up the beautiful tree as in the last foto. Danke sehr!

Certified CME provider: Med-IQ
Company Profile
Med-IQ is a full-service, accredited medical education company committed to delivering superior continuing education that improves healthcare professionals' medical knowledge and everyday performance, ultimately leading to improved patient health.
As a leader in the medical education industry, we are armed with an experienced, in-house team of medical education experts, including physicians, pharmacists, and staff devoted to compliance, outcomes, technology, audience generation and innovative program design. We develop our education from the frontline perspective of our audience—we're in touch with the true knowledge gaps and barriers healthcare professionals face when attempting to deliver high-quality healthcare.
In short, we have the tools, expertise, and passion to be America's most respected medical education company.
Services and Offerings
It's all about choices. Healthcare professionals decide on the CME/CE programs that most interest them and the learning environment (in-person, online, print) that fits how and when they want to learn. That means a variety of access options—at the office or hospital, at the point of care, at home, or on the go. Our outcomes assessment tools have been developed to quantitatively and qualitatively measure the effect of all of our activities, from immediate knowledge gain to applied behavior change. No matter what kind of programs or format healthcare professionals prefer, Med-IQ guarantees they will receive a superior learning experience.
Case Study
"Deep Vein Thrombosis: Your At-Risk Patients"
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its clinical sequela, pulmonary embolism (PE), are the most common preventable causes of hospital death in the US. Trauma, orthopedic surgery and cancer patients receiving chemotherapy are at the highest risk. Difficulties using risk stratification tools and inconsistencies between evidence-base guidelines account for challenges.
Med-IQ designed a modular, video-based Internet program with interactive questions that allowed participants to select modules to participate in based on their specialty (orthopedic surgery, oncology, neurology), allowing us to target multiple specialties with a single platform. This also provided the opportunity for measurement of learning (immediate, retained and application), and built the foundation for future sequential learning modules.
Immediate knowledge gain by program participants was substantial and statistically significant for the
Pre-survey Post-survey
Plenary Session 57% 72%
Post-Stroke Case 73% 94%
Oncology Case 39% 64%
Orthopedic Case 79% 89%
Immediate gain in confidence in recognizing DVT was dramatic and statistically significant:
Pre-survey Post-survey
Somewhat Very
Confident Confident
Confidence 62% 82%
After six months, the program demonstrated statistically significant data supporting immediate learning across all specialties, again with the initial data showing improved confidence among all participants.

Neon Sports is supplement giant Cellucor's spin off company which caters to those people looking for powerful, well formulated products without the premium price tag. The fifth product in this range is Thermo Rev, a dietary support supplement with thermogenic, fat burning properties.
Neon Sport Thermo Rev Review & Ingredients
Neon Sport have so far played their cards close to their chest with the ingredients of Thermo Rev, but if other Neon Sport products are anything to go by, this supplement is going to pack a punch, and feature an array of scientifically proven fat loss ingredients. Obviously, thermogenic compounds are going to be a major component of the formulation, and we are predicting an ingredient list featuring green tea or coffee bean extract. Adaptogenic herbs like Rhodiola feature in Volt, Neon's popular pre workout, and we would not be surprised if they popped up again in Thermo Rev.
Neon Sport Thermo Rev Release date
Neon are currently recruiting American volunteers to try this new product, so with stock available, we know that we're close to a US release date, which means Thermo Rev can be expected to turn up down under in early 2015. Neon has used yohimbine in their products before, and there is a chance Thermo Rev will need to be reformulated for the Aussie market. If this is the case, mid to late 2015 is a better bet.Neon Sport Thermo Rev

Dear Families,
I can hardly believe this is my final note of this school year. What a year it has been! I thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this year. I have learned so much, enjoyed getting to know you and your children better, and am so grateful for how you have welcomed me and Ms. Woods into the Burroughs community. We feel so lucky that you share your beautiful children with us every day!
In the 'Instructional Insights' section this week, I am highlighting our district's literacy framework. Minneapolis Public Schools has spent this year researching, piloting, and vetting literacy curricula. On June 13, the school board will vote to approve the adoption of our new pre-K-5 literacy curriculum. This summer, our teachers, along with myself and Ms. Woods, will have the opportunity to learn about this curriculum and how to implement it with our students. I am proud to say that Ms. Woods and Mrs. Manes participated on the district's steering committee as related to this adoption. Their participation is an asset to our community, and their expertise will be crucial in helping to lead this new learning and implementation at our school.
I look forward to our continued work together next year and wish you all an amazing summer!
Ana Bartl

Motion 3 105
3D In Motion
48 videos | 191 minutes | by Jim Kanter
- Status
- Available
- Released
- Jul 11th, 2008
With the addition of 3D cameras & lighting, Motion 3 is now a world-class application for animating 3D effects. This tutorials shows you the way!
Lights, camera, action! There's a whole other dimension in Motion 3 that many people never even think about - 3D! Indeed, with it's incredible 3D feature set, Motion 3 makes it easy to create complex fly-throughs and photo-realisitic renderings of almost any scene you can imagine.
In this 3-hour tutorial by veteran educator Jim Kanter, you'll learn all aspects of Motion's amazing 3D features including how to place objects on a plane, creating cameras and lights, and animating your scenes to create stunning realism and visual effects.
This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don['t need to watch it from beginning to end. Use the detailed menus and keyword search features to quickly find topics of interest. For a full list of what this tutorial contains, check out the Table of Contents.
For a full list of the topics covered, see the Tutorial Outline
or click the button below to Preview this tutorial.
Motion 3 105/3D in Motion-this has the usual great system of small bits of info in short movies, one bit per movie. Not five or ten pieces of info in a 30 minute movie. It's easy to re-run in case you just didn't get it the first or second or tenth time. The instructor, Jim Kanter, has a pleasant speaking voice and he speaks in a calm and conversational way. It doesn't seem that anything was left out and he never seemed rushed or hesitant about the instruction. This volume is still valid for Motion 4 so that's a plus as well. Great job, well done, thanks
I watched this amazing 3D Motion video. Jim Kanter uses a simple and easy to follow method to demonstrate how to create the 3D effects in 3D space. It is most interesting and stimulating. I would like to watch more of his video in 3D. I look forward to create some of my own work. Many thanks to macProVideo for producing such an interesting video. Teresa
Jim goes a long way to demystifying 3D in Motion. In a clear and concise fashion the tutorials are just what you need to tame those unruly lights and cameras. Many thanks for the effort in producing Motion 3 105.
great poroduct, great desktop tool - thank you for the good work. steffen rolla geistreich
Really cool, to see the possibilities of motion. But 2 little remarks: 1) The training speed is al little slow. Jim is a perfectionist. In a training is the final layout not always important, but the way you do it. It's learning tool. 2) Motion is very slow on my MACPRO system, so I can't do any of this cool stuff. And that's very frustrating. Maybe you can help? My MacPRO struggles with M3, and I'm not the only one.
Thank you for producing Motion 3 105: 3D In Motion. I am only through the first couple of chapters, but have already learned enough of the basics regarding 3D to take my graphics to the next level.
very well!
Motion 3 105 is what I have been waiting for. It gives basic instruction on cameras, lights, camera movements, etc. in 3D space and explains how to use each of these in production editing and final view release. If you are new to 3D Motion... this is the tutorial you need to get up and running quickly. I highly recommend it. If you are a seasoned veteran, this is a great review of the features of Motion 3. I promise you will learn a few new tricks.
It is a great pleasure to watch 3D in Motion Tutorial for theory and praxis are fully covered. It would be a great help to the student to be able to obtain the video clips of the famous video wall for training.
Wow, this was not what I expected. It really explained a lot about working in 3D space. Foundational concepts, not a bunch of flashy tricks. Solid information. Textbook. There were some decent tutorials to work through, I think if the video files used were downloadable, I might be more inclined to work along with the tutorial. I would definitely purchase more Motion-oriented videos from this trainer.

SXSW 2013: Albumatic Entices Austin Partygoers With Free Korean BBQ
The new app, Albumatic, is a startup concept that lets you create photo albums in real time that your friends can contribute to.
The new app, Albumatic, is a startup concept that lets you create photo albums in real time that your friends can contribute to.
What do a new social photo album app and Korean BBQ have in common? Not much, I hear you say. That was my first thought too until going to South by Southwest (SXSW) and realizing that anything is possible.
As I strolled out of one of the many parties that I had visited that evening (diet Cokes only – promise!), there in front of me was a Korean BBQ truck with a big sign saying "Free." Of course I walked over – after all, it would have been rude not to. And that's when I discovered Albumatic.
The new app, Albumatic, is a startup concept that I've been hearing about for a few years. Unlike some of the already existing photo-sharing apps out there, this one is about creating albums in real time that your friends can contribute to. And of course downloading it at the truck meant that I'd be getting my free BBQ, so I definitely wanted to hear more.
"There were a few of us taking photos of my new baby son. We had all taken so many pictures but realized that they were all siloed in each other's devices. We then realized that although there are many places to share photos, such as Facebook and Instagram, etc., there is nowhere that you can combine images into one place, in a social way," says Devon Gundry, co-founder of Albumatic.
"Albumatic isn't about sharing photos with your friends later on, nor is it about randomly connecting with people nearby. Instead, it allows you to create and capture events with friends in the moment," he adds.
When you join Albumatic, it helps you find other users on Facebook, in your contact list, or nearby via the phone's GPS, explains Gundry. After that, when you and a friend are near each other, you can create and join albums together. Friends see albums as you create them through push notifications, and they can either "watch" it if they aren't nearby, or they can join the album if they're witnessing the same event. Like apps such as Instagram, people can favorite or comment on photos.
"For example, if you're sampling the great quesadillas at the best food truck in Austin, you can create an album for "quesadillas Austin" on Albumatic, and if there are Albumatic users nearby who are friends with you in the app, they'll get a notification and will be able to join the album and add photos too," says Gundry.
Albumatic was created by Gundry (above left), along with co-founder Adam Ludwin (above right). Based in LA, Gundry is a musician while Ludwin is a principal at venture capital firm RRE Ventures and led the seed round in Twitter-acquired social video startup Vine.
And back to my first question of commonalities between a new social photo album app and Korean BBQ – a cool social fan base who enjoys good food, of course!
