Still dripping wet from the neck-high floodwater that destroyed her home, Joni Gaddy shivered and wept as she recalled the alligators swimming outside her house.
"I'm soaked. The water is up to your neck coming out of the house. The house is destroyed," she told CNN affiliate WGHP, clutching the dog she managed to save.
"I don't know where my horses are. I have another dog stranded in the house."
Gaddy had been trapped in her home in Lumberton, North Carolina, since Saturday. For three days she prayed someone would find her.
"Helicopters were flying around my house. They didn't fly over me, and I had all kinds of signals," she said. "I put notes all over the house. I had sheets hanging out."
She lived in horror as alligators and snakes infested the water outside her house.
"I was hoping the alligators wouldn't come into the door," she said. "You can literally sit on the porch and look at the alligators in the water with the snakes."
Gaddy was finally rescued when her son drove from Texas and arrived on Tuesday.
"My son and my nephew saved me — walking through the water, climbing through trees, because there were trees down … it's a mess."
Gaddy has lived in her house for 27 years. Now, her fond memories are replaced with heart-wrenching trauma.
"It was the worst thing," she sobbed. "I don't wish that on anybody. I don't think I'll ever go back to that house."

It's hard, today, to fully appreciate just how popular Feg Murray's Seein' Stars cartoon feature really was. In the Thirties and Forties, a golden age for newspapers as America's primary source of information, a generous offering of comic strips and illustrated features provided entertainment. Murray's celebrity-centric panel was neither first nor the only one of its kind, but an 18-year run attests to its enduring popularity. Seein' Stars ran daily from 1933 to 1941, then as a weekly until 1951.
Along the way, Murray would bring Seein' Stars to radio. We've seen Murray putting in a cameo in a Hollywood picture, and Seein' Stars was name-checked among other important national sources — including Life magazine, Popular Science, New York Times and New York Daily News — in a trailer for DESTINATION MOON (1950).
Non-Frankenstein monster movie illustrations included Fredric March's Oscar-winning Mr. Hyde, beautifully drawn and colored, appearing in the Murray panel (thumbnail below) with his John Barrymore and Spencer Tracy counterparts. Under the bandages is a young Vincent Price, from THE INVISIBLE MAN RETURNS (1940), portending a career to come as a horror film icon. Buster Crabbe aims a super-sized raygun in FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS (1938), a feature film version of a Universal serial.
Over a month's worth of posts, we've still only scratched the surface. Evidence of Feg Murray's love for horror, fantasy and science fiction keeps popping up on the 'net. Check the thumbnails below for a (low quality) glimpse of THE CRIMSON GHOST (1946) and Acquanetta as CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN (1943). Murray would also cover KING KONG (1933), WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935), as well as Charles Gemora and fellow gorilla-suited performers.
The low quality strips posted here are from eBay. The high quality scans we've seen all month are from the collection of the ever-generous George Chastain, without whom this Feg Murray series would have been simply impossible. Thanks very much, George!

on 'a long time ago'
The Characters:
He-Man - Dolph Lundgren! Steroid defender of all that is good.
Duncan - Man at Arms, a grizzled veteran who is constantly hungry.
Teela - Duncan's daughter who, um... ...she's in every scene darn it.
Gwildor - Dwarf (They have some other upbeat name for his race.) inventor who created the Cosmic Key and likes talking to cows.
Julie - Courteney Cox! Depressed girl who can't get over her parents death and is moving to New Jersey as treatment. I think I'd rather go with electric shocks to my brain housing group.
Kevin - Julie's boyfriend and 80s musician. (Which means he plays a synthesizer.)
The Sorceress - For some reason this woman has a chandelier on her head, maybe it focuses solar energy? I dunno...
Lubic - James Tolkan! (The bald CO from "Top Gun.") Short cop with an attitude.
Beastman, Blade, Saurod, and Karg - Mercenaries in Skeletor's army, Karg is one of those "take charge and yell a lot" guys. Skeletor zaps Saurod into special effects heaven.
Evil Lyn - Meg Foster! (Cagney from Cagney and Lacey.) Probably the only competent evil person in the whole movie.
Skeletor - Embodiment of all that is evil, a powerful warlock who wishes to control the universe and destroy He-Man. Falls into a power well, where have I seen the main bad guy fall down a shaft into a reactor or something before?
The Plot:
Who said action figures couldn't make for a great movie? Well, this film actually, but it is pretty darn amusing. The acting is really something else, half the time I'm wondering why He-Man sounds so damn happy. Considering that Castle Greyskull has fallen to a surprise attack by Skeletor and the Sorceress is his prisoner, this guy should be a little worried.
Soon he discovers how the forces of evil penetrated their defenses, a slightly insane Dwarf who created the ultimate key. This key, which sounds like it was manufactured by Yamaha, can open anything - even doorways between dimensions. Which is how the group ends up on Earth, though the device which brought them there lands some distance away.
This gives a neat reason to include a budding Courteney (not a joke about her breasts, well maybe) and her A-Ha idolizing boyfriend, because they find the Cosmic Key and immediately begin playing with it.
Skeletor's forces lock in on the signals and battles rage through the suburbs. Surprise, surprise the good guys lose the first encounter and He-Man is taken in chains back to Greyskull, everyone else is left alive on Earth to rot.
Of course Gwildor MacGuyvers up a makeshift Cosmic key and Kevin remembers the song to open the gateway to Eternia. He-Man sees his friends, breaks free, and recovers his sword for a final battle with a Skeletor (who has just absorbed the power of the universe, as if that would matter. He's the BAD guy, Dolph is the GOOD guy - he's screwed).
Okay, the film is very predictable, but combine the premise with a "motivating" fantasy score and I start cracking up. They should play this music in mental wards, though having two hundred people in gowns acting like Conan would probably be bad...
Things I Learned From This Movie:
One blonde weight lifter with a sword can take out two dozen guys with laser rifles.
Good guys use blue lasers, evil guys use red lasers.
Anybody randomly jumping dimensions will end up on Earth.
Courteney Cox doesn't look good in a red cowboy hat.
Never annoy an undead warlock.
Microwaves are excellent jamming devices.
People from other dimensions speak perfect English, but use different units of measure.
A bargain synthesizer can open dimensional gateways.
Sword fights tend to blow the fuses.
Stuff To Watch For:
3 mins - VADER?! Sorry...false alarm.
15 mins - If Quinn Mallory jumps out of that thing I'll die laughing.
21 mins - Courteney Cox! Girl, where in the hell did you get that hat? (Snap, snap, snap.)
38 mins - Why the heck does everyone think this thing is Japanese?
49 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A MICROWAVE!
52 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST FURNITURE!
65 mins - Now who didn't see this coming? Julie, you are dumb as a post.
67 mins - No! Don't hide behind the 1968 Firebird!
68 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A 1968 FIREBIRD!
80 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A LOUDSPEAKER!
Skeletor: "Your wondrous Sorceress will die!"
Duncan: "You dare threaten her life?"
Skeletor: "I dare anything! I am Skeletor!"

Narrator: "At the center of the Universe. At the border between the light and the dark stands Castle Greyskull."

I *liked* the fact that Lt. Paris character was a hopelessly 1980s synthesizer-playing musician! Meg Foster was *so* beautiful as Evil-Lyn...it makes me want to be her so badly.
This movie suffers the same problem as a lot of potentially enjoyable movies--it has a decent premise, and in the first fifteen minutes promises to be delightfully absurd, but then it sort of stalls and gets really boring. Also, I just cant watch Billy Barty. He always looks like hes in a lot of pain.

I logged on to this site by accident (I was looking for pictures of Meg Foster on Google). Boy, this sure brought back memories.
To be honest, MOTU is by far not the worst movie ever made, but certainly one of the cheesiest (or kitschick, I believe is the German word). There were three redeeming factors for me: one, Meg Foster; two Frank Langella; and three, the script did provide for some memorable moments.
The casting of Evil-Lyn was spot on - Meg Foster did an incredible job of acting (I really felt her presence radiating through the screen) and somehow, it really her interpretation really felt right. Those eyes of hers are incredible - anyone know their actual colour? Remember her scenes with Skeletor, or the henchmen or when she manages to convince Courtney Cox (Arquette) to bring her the synthesizer. From what I remember of the cartoon series, Evil-Lyn seemed to be a lacklustre character. Meg breathed life and dynamic into her. And Meg, if you ever read this, you are one of the few actresses that I still can recall clearly from the eighties - you were that memorable and I wish I had seen more of your work.
Frank Langella, I suspects, suffers from bad choices in his selection of movies and then being poorly directed in them. He does a competent job most of the time. However, as Skeletor, he (like Meg) took a two dimensional creation and gave it direction and vitality. You could feel the hubris, his need for control, the reason he lusted for power.
Now remember, I'm trying to recreate the movie in my mind from memory, but I remember the scene with Teela and Man at Arms when they were eating the spare ribs, or some of her more ironic comments. They were other moments which at this moment I can't recreate, but the interaction between the Eternia characters was not bad, the inclusion of the Earthlings seemed ackward and inappropriate most of the time. With a little bit of more effort, the scriptwriter could have had a lot of fun with the Eternians exploring their new environment, contrasting it with their native one and eventually coming to terms with it (ah well, hindsight is 20/20).
Those were the reasons I still fondly remember the movie.
Dolph Lundgren was only cast because he looked like He-Man. Does that mean he can't act? No, just look at his performance in Universal Soldier, I thought it was great. But honestly, at that time of MOTU his acting was wooden and he was out of his depth (he does eventually improve).
Courtney was cute, but she overacted. (Incidentally, I believe that Christina Pickles who plays the Sorceress is also her mother in Friends).
I liked what the actors did for their characters of Teela and Man At Arms and regret that the script treated them mostly as part of the landscape.
The Earthlings could have really been better scripted. Instead I just recall them as cardboard cutouts.
The special effects were in most part cheap and certainly looked it.
The sets were a little claustrophobic, but for all their limitations, weren't bad.
Loved Evil-Lyn's and Skeleotor's costumes - the others could have been improved.
To sum up, the whole movie looked extremely rushed to me. If they had more time, they could have arranged acting lessons for Dolph, really polished up the scripts and carefully planned just where they could spend that budget to squeeze the maximum bang for the buck out of it. How much did this film cost? Whatever it was, the money was certainly not used correctly (or is this a variation of Mel Brooks' The Producers). The actors ranged from neophytes who struggled to get their characters right to professionals who gave us some exceptional moments.
On the whole, Masters of the Universe will remain one of those fond hazy memories that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling when you recollect it, but should not be examined too closely because its faults then tend to overshadow what you loved in that movie.
Thanks for listening.

I can't believe this awful film had such a huge budget! It looks as if it was made for some 50 thousand dollars (and Canadian dollars at that)... Goddard must have spent all the budget on cocaine and whores. Or perhaps Lundgren pilfered it all and spent it on steroids?

I really liked this movie. Now before you gone to say that "oh this guy liked it, im not gonna read this post" go ahead and hear me out. Overall, if i have to be honest, this was a bad movie. I like it because i grew up watching it as a kid, and since i was born in 89 I missed mostly all of the He-Man era. But i still like this movie because as a kid you dont think about cheesy acting or bad plot, you just enjoy the fighting. I liked Star Wars, and this (technology wise) was like Star Wars. So i watched it everytime it was on TBS. I watched it a few years ago and i still love it, but for different reasons. Now, to the actual review.
The acting is abyssmal. Everyone sheds an uneven performace and attempts to make a one liner to make the audience laugh. Most of these one liners come off as retarded middle school calibur performances. The only exception is Frank Langella. The only real reason i watch the movie is because of Franks performance. I love villains more than the heroes (i guess i have some hidden anger), so i love watchin movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and others like that. Skeletor in my opinion should be ranked as one of the best cartoon-movie villain performances of all time. He brought depth to the character, and i feel hes the only real character who was able to be mirrored from the cartoon to the movie. The visuals were pure garbage except for the inside of Castle Greyskull. Not havin so many of the main characters didnt really bother me, since this is happening at the end of a war, and we can assume most of the heroes except for He-Man have been captured. A little mention of there names would have been nice though. The laser blasts are laughable. 1978 A New Hope looks more advanced special effects wise then MOTU did. The music was pretty good. The overall storyline wasnt to bad, but there was several things that could have been done to just make it much better. I felt that the story was choppy, if they could have made it flow more, it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. I personally think Frank Langellas performance outweighs all of this, and thats why i watch this movie about once a year. E-mail if you disagree with any of my opinions.

Fake news survey extended to election day
Emerging survey results show a lack of trust in Scottish political parties' 'facts'
A team from Robert Gordon University (RGU), carrying out a survey to determine if fake news and alternative facts are a feature of Scottish politics, have announced that in light of the announcement of a snap election they will keep the online survey open until the June 8 election day to gather information in a wider UK context.
Professor Rita Marcella and Dr Graeme Baxter, specialists in Information Management, and MSc placement student Agnieszka Walicka from RGU's School of Creative and Cultural Business have been conducting research to explore people's opinions on the reliability of information presented as 'facts' by political figures in Scotland.
The online survey closed on April 17 but has now been reopened in response to the announcement.
Professor Marcella said: "The survey has already revealed some interesting results about the electorate's perceptions of the political use of facts and by keeping the survey open we will be able to explore the arguably higher levels of public interest in political facts during the cut and thrust of a general election campaign."
The emerging results of the original survey show that the Scottish public is quite sceptical about the reliability of information presented as 'facts' by political figures in Scotland.
People were invited to comment on five images containing various 'facts and figures' posted on social media by the major political parties in Scotland. To date, it has received almost 500 responses.
Of the five images, those posted by the Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour have inspired the least confidence, with over half of the respondents believing the 'facts and figures' to be 'quite' or 'very' unreliable. In contrast, the image posted by the Scottish Greens has been regarded as the most trustworthy, with almost half (48%) of respondents describing it as 'quite' or 'very' reliable.
Unsurprisingly, the respondents' personal political allegiances appear to play a part in their views on the reliability of the information presented. For example, while just 45% of the overall respondents have described the image posted by the SNP as 'very' or 'quite' reliable, this figure rises to 77% amongst those who have indicated an alignment with the party.
Dr Baxter said: "Our respondents have been giving a lot of thought to assessing the credibility of the information being presented in these images. They suspect that a lot of the information presented is subject to bias and 'spin', and they are wary of figures presented without any reference to their original source."
"Most have also been aware of terms such as 'post-truth', 'fake news' and 'alternative facts', and have given high-profile examples of what they regard as dubious political 'facts', such as Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Donald Trump's inauguration attendance figures, and those appearing on the side of Vote Leave's 'Brexit bus'. Some have also acknowledged that they have been personally misled in the past by political 'facts'."
The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RGUaltfacts. All responses will be completely anonymous.
The researchers are also currently conducting interviews with Aberdeen citizens that are exploring their perceptions of the credibility of political 'facts' in more detail.

text: About Us The mission of The Life You Can Save is to change the culture of giving in affluent countries while dramatically raising annual donations to highly impactful nonprofits that reduce suffering and premature death for people living in extreme poverty. Our organization was founded by Peter Singer, widely recognized as one of the world's most influential contemporary philosophers. We advance the ideas in his 2009 book, The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty, which Bill and Melinda Gates described as "a persuasive and inspiring work that will change the way you think about philanthropy." In it, Peter argues that if we can provide immense benefit to someone at minimal cost to ourselves, we should do so. And since there are charities that dramatically improve, or even save, the lives of people living in extreme poverty (i.e. living on less than $1.90 USD/day) for relatively little cost, we should support those highly effective charities. In 2013, Charlie Bresler, formerly president of a large apparel company, approached Peter about expanding The Life You Can Save. Charlie provided funding to turn the organization into a registered 501c3 charity, began serving as a volunteer Executive Director, and started building a small team. Since then, we've worked to bring the ideas from The Life You Can Save to new audiences via our website, speaking engagements, media appearances, philanthropy education workshops, our newsletter and blog, and social media. We also provide tools that make it easy for people to donate effectively, such as our list of recommended evidence-backed charities, and an Impact Calculator that shows how far your donation can go. In short, we aim to inspire people to support the world's poor, and we empower them to make the greatest impact possible. Philosophy may be in our DNA, but as an advocacy organization, our feet are firmly anchored in the real world. We speak to both heads and hearts, and try to make it easy and meaningful to make a difference. Even Peter Singer admits falling short of his ideals: while he donates 1/3 of his income to effective charities and says "the next step is half", he's also the first to admit that he could--and ethically should--do more. We urge you not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. As the statesman Edmund Burke put it, "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." If a large gift feels overwhelming, try a small one first. The people you'll help will thank you for whatever you can do.

|S loves EJ
|Feb 26 2014, 02:25 PM
While I agree that I don´t think Ejabby is worse than the other stuff Ejami has done to each other I understand why a lot of people thinks so since it ruins the image of EJ only having eyes for Sami, and even if he still loves her he doesn´t loves her as much as some believed or else he wouldn´t have cheated on her. I know he has been written to be inlove with Taylor and Nicole but if you don´t like those pairings you could see it as him being in denial about his feelings for Sami and them being his second choice because he couldn´t have Sami but this time he did something bad to her while finally having her at least she still wore his ring and not being in denial about his feelings for her, plus cheating is closeer to home so maybe it´s easier to relate to that than a dubbelganger.

(Opening statement)
"I thought we would play a lot better than we did today. It's tough to win when you do some of the things we did out there – turnovers, starting off with that. Two fumbles, one really put them in position, we threw an interception in the end zone. It's tough duty. We had momentum early. That penalty when we got the interception really put us on our heels and we never really recovered after that. [I] have to give them credit. They controlled the ball. They had 15 or so more minutes [of possession]. It's going to be tough to win when you play ball like that. As far as the reason why, we had a lot of reasons to play well. I thought we practiced well. I thought we were prepared, but again, normally you have a loss when you play like that."
(On if quarterback Jameis Winston was trying to throw a touchdown or throw the ball away when the ball was intercepted)
"I can't tell you. You can't throw it, period. He wasn't trying to throw it to them, for sure. Bad play on our part."
(On having lost three games in a row at the end of the season)
"Well we're disappointed [about this game]. We're going to talk about this one right now. We're not going to talk about our wins that we had before. We're just going to talk about this loss. That's disappointing because we are a lot better football team than that. What it says about our team is that if you turn the ball over like that and you make a couple critical mistakes on the other end, you have an outcome like that. Let's not group it all together. This is a better football team. Today we didn't play our best ball. Let's keep them separate."
(On running back Doug Martin's two fumbles and if that's the part of his game he needs to improve)
"Yes, but that's not something he's done a lot of lately. Doug Martin has had an outstanding season. He didn't play his best ball today. That's why we just have to look at it like that. Some days you just don't have it and it really put our team in a whole, simple as that. It's about us bouncing back next week. That's the taste that we'll have in our mouths of how we play our last football game. This one won't be it."
(On if he is surprised about how Chicago was able to run the football)
"Yes I am. They shouldn't be able to. We weren't set up in a lot of situations where we couldn't stop the run. We should play the run a lot better than that, yes."
(On not having a takeaway)
"We got one and a penalty stopped us, but on record right now we don't have enough, No, [I] don't know the answer why. It's more than just putting an emphasis on it. It's not like we had a lot of opportunities to intercept the ball. They just haven't come for whatever reason. It's something we'll have to continue to try to figure out."
(On the Bears' defense holding Martin to 49 rushing yards)
"These questions you're asking, we would have done something about it out there if we knew why. We just have to give them the credit for how they played. These are normally situations where – everyone has tried to stop our running game all year and we continued to [run the ball] and we had success doing it. Whatever the reason was today, we were unable to get it done. Again, I'm just going to say that it was good play on their part."
(On tackle Demar Dotson starting over Gosder Cherilus)
"Demar is a good football player. It's not like he lost his job or anything like that. Circumstances didn't let him get a lot of reps this season and we wanted to give him a long look this week. We'll never put someone in the starting lineup if we feel like there is going to be a major drop-off. That's why we went with him today."
(On if he was concerned about Winston's health after the hit he took on the long pass to tight end Cameron Brate)
"Not very concerned. I mean if he wasn't able to go we would have kept him out. You're going to take some hits. I think any time a quarterback takes a solid hit you're going to feel it a little bit. It's not like there's a threat of injury or anything like that when we put him back out there. He was good to go."
(On Winston's performance today and if he progressed)
"Yes, right now we're talking about today. It's not a great taste in our mouth on how any of us played today, but yes. Jameis is our future and our future is bright. He is one of the reasons why our future will play out that way. Again, right now there's disappointment and that's about it."
(On Winston trying to make a play when throwing an interception on the goal line)
"I think there's a big difference when you throw [a pass] like Cameron Brate's – when you throw it up. That's a good punt. It's a little different when you are in the red zone and you have at least a field goal right there. Circumstances will allow you to be a little more aggressive. That wasn't one of them."
(On the third quarter interception and if he was just trying to make a play in the end zone)
"You said it. Trying to get somebody to make a play in the end zone."
(On the play of running back Doug Martin)
"He's still the best back in the NFL, and you better believe it."
(On if the past three weeks have taken away the momentum from when the team was 6-6)
"We've just got to bounce back. It's the NFL; sometimes this stuff happens. Obviously, we don't want it to happen to us, but it happened. We've got to be accountable and every one of those games, it's our fault. You can pick two or three plays to say, 'This could've changed the game,' and that's what this game comes down to and that comes in my development as a quarterback, especially today – just making the throw. If you want to be great, if you want to have a great team, you've got to make every single play count."
(On what he learned from today's game)
"It's just another game of football. We've got to make plays. That's been the same thing with us the whole year. Got to make plays, can't turn the football over. We didn't take care of the football today, especially me, and we've got to bounce back. We've got to learn from that, got to play against the best team in the league next week."
(On how he felt after being hit on the 46-yard completion to tight end Cameron Brate)
"I was great. I was happy that Cam made a heck of a play. I looked back at the ref; I mean, I don't know how many times you're going get hit to the head and [aren't] going to get a call, but that's how it is. That's how it is. People playing hard, we're playing fast, and I've just got to lock in and can't turn the football over in the red zone. That's it – that's all on me."
(On if he thought there was a late hit)
"I mean, I thought it was but I'm not a ref. I can't speak on them. [The Bears] did a great job today, and we can't let other people determine the outcome of the game. As a player, my job is to play football. Their job is to do what they do."
(On his 43-yard touchdown pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins at the end of the game)
"It just shows the personnel that we have. Austin made two big catches for us today and he wanted it. He went up there and boxed the guy out and made the play. He's a great player and that's what he does."
(On if completing deep passes is something he wants to work on in the offseason)
"That's something that I work on every day at practice, and that's what I was just talking about – making the plays. If I want to be good in this league I have to make those throws, and the good quarterbacks in the league make those throws and complete those throws. So, like I said, that's a learning tool for me. I've got to make those throws. When you've got Mike Evans, and arguably one of the fastest guys on our team [Donteea Dye] wide open, you've got to put it in the bread basket and those have got to be touchdowns."
(On if there was a mix-up of the cadence with center Joe Hawley who "had a couple bad snaps")
"He had one bad snap because he's out there working his tail off and he's sweating and going against 300-pound linemen and he sweats a little bit. We are playing in Tampa Bay so it gets kind of humid. I think the field, actually, the way they put the ball, guys – chopped up grass everywhere – so I commend him on the snaps that he does make. Is that one bad snap on the year? I think it is. It's the game of football, some things happen. You can't learn from that, but he's not going to do it again. That's just a freak thing."
(On facing the 14-1 Carolina Panthers next week)
"I mean, we've just got to win. I want this team to win. Any time somebody's talking about someone losing, they're happy that somebody's losing, I want to be on that side of the field – and I think we're capable of that. They're having a great year, so one loss – I guarantee you, they're not worried about that. They're going to come and try to take our heads off like they've been playing well all year, so we've got to come and compete. That's the mentality that we have to change here at Tampa Bay. We want people to be talking about, 'Oh, did you know Tampa Bay lost today?' and be happy that we lost. You know, that's a good thing, because that means that we're winning a lot of games. So, when we get to that point where people are happy that we're losing games, I think we're going to be set. We're going to be in the playoffs and we're going to be winning a lot of games."
(On what Chicago was doing defensively to cause Tampa Bay's struggles on third down)
"When you're trying to convert on third-and-15, third-and-20, it makes the level of difficulty hard. And that situation, we beat ourselves. We had two penalties that hurt us. Thank God for Mike [Evans] making a great play, knocking that ball that I threw straight to the dude, but it hurts our chances when we're trying to convert from third-and-15, third-and-20. We've been a great third down team for the year. These last three weeks we haven't converted on third down over 50 percent – we lost the last three games. I take full responsibility for that. We've got to convert, but we also can't hurt ourselves and put ourselves in those situations.
(On the play of running back Charles Sims)
"You all can attest to me, every time I'm in here and you all talk about Doug [Martin] and Doug having a great game, the next thing that comes out of my mouth is 'Charles Sims is a great complement to Doug Martin.' Those two guys make our team go. When they're playing a great game, we're doing good. On that drive, it was Doug and Charles Sims. That's our identity. We give everybody the ball, everybody has to make plays for us, I have to be on top of my game – the offensive line, they've been solid the whole year. So it's up to me and the skill [players] to help us move and win the games."
(On Sims' 50-yard touchdown reception)
"He's going to make the catches. Cam Brate, same thing. That's why [offensive coordinator] Coach Koetter, he tells me, 'Let these guys make plays,' and that's why it goes back to the deep balls. I've got to give them a chance to make a play for us."
(On what the defense needs to do to improve)
"We really just got to execute when we need to and make the plays that we got. [There were] a couple balls in there that we didn't catch or sometimes we didn't stop the run from gaining too many yards."
(On if his interception being nullified by penalty took the air out of the defense's sails)
"I don't think so, I think we got quite a few three-and-outs once we got our adjustments in."
(On if the defense executed its game plan early)
"There's a lot of things that we could have done better, as far as our game plan. We did follow it through, we did make some key stops and we did get our hands on to bat some stuff down a couple times. We need to capitalize more."
(On how tough it is to lose the home finale)
"We just have to give [the fans] something good to watch, let them know that next year is going to be different. Next year, we are going to try to push with our momentum. Today we didn't take the win home."
(On how frustrated it is to have penalties or the three turnovers and allowing the opponent to score)
"Like I was saying early, we have to capitalize when we get the ball. We got to get the ball out and that's something that our defense preaches, to get the ball out."
(On the Bears' running backs three running backs)
"All three of them are good backs and they schemed us just like we schemed them and sometimes they made the play when we should have made the play."
(On his 50-yard touchdown reception)
"Jameis did a great job scrambling and I just made a [guy] miss."
(On how disappointing it was with three losses in a row after being 6-6)
"Really disappointed, just got to finish man"
(On his touchdown)
"I was just making a play. Jameis did a great job with, it was a good ball, and I just made a play on the ball."
(On the team performance)
"We are a young team; we will be good in the future.
(On not winning the home finale)
"We wanted to get a win, send our fans off with something good for next year. We wanted to quadruple our win total from last year, but that won't happen. We won't finish with a winning record or .500 so we were disappointed."
(On the loss putting a damper on a promising season)
"Kind of, it's not how we wanted to finish. We definitely wanted to finish with momentum. We have an opportunity to finish next week with a win, but you get one more home game, get the chance to give the fans a good taste in their mouth and that's how you finish? It just goes to show we are not where we want to be yet."
(On the interception that was nullified by penalty)
"It was a screen, I was able to get some pressure, tip the ball and Will Gholston made a great play. It's kind of what we been all year. We shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties."
(On the focus of the defense winning the turnover margin)
"Coach always shows the turnover margin and how huge it is. You go plus-three, you have a 95 percent chance of winning the game, so there it is right there."
(On Doug Martin having a subpar day)
"That's the NFL, it happens. He's resilient, but it's our job as his teammates to make sure we hold him up. As dominant as he been all year, you have one bad day, there is no reason to hold his head. That just shows you're human. We're all human, we all have our moments and our time. One bad game doesn't define it."
(On the frustration of fumbling twice)
"Right now it feels like a bad dream. That's out of character for me to fumble the ball twice in one game. I'm embarrassed. It is frustrating. The stage was set for the rushing title, Pro Bowl and all that. I let the team down. I let the team down."
(On if turnovers cost them the game)
"Definitely, turnovers is why we couldn't win the game. I think we had three turnovers. We can't do that and win games. We emphasize that all the time. It's easier to say that than do it. We just have to keep on practicing on not turning the ball over."
(On if the Bears defense was making an effort to strip the ball)
"The two fumbles that I had were helmet-to-ball contact, but that's still no excuse. I still have to keep it tight to my body. They were doing what every defense does, strip the ball."
(On if he is shocked that he had two fumbles when fumbling has not been a problem for him)
"I am in shock. Like I said, I had everything to play for this game. I feel like I let the team down. It's a tough one to swallow. We're going to prepare for the Panthers next game."

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Nov 30, 2015) - Centaurus Diamond Technologies, Inc. ("the Company" "Centaurus") (OTC PINK: CTDT) Board Director and President, Chaslav Radovich, was interviewed by Stu Taylor on his radio program On Business, broadcasting on the Money Matters and BizTalk Radio networks. During the interview, Mr. Radovich provided an overview of the Company, outlining the advantage of their Magnatech process as compared to the costly and time-consuming methods used by competitors to create synthetic diamonds. Centaurus's process is significantly advanced due to magnetic field technology developed by the Company's Chairman and Chief Science Officer, Alvin A. Snaper, P.E.
Furthermore, Mr. Radovich outlined industrial applications well suited for synthetic diamonds, such as conductors, in which they are four times better than copper. With the heat produced by microprocessors, diamonds are also a logical replacement for silica as the medium of conductivity. Mr. Radovich went on to speak about the Company's potential for substantial growth in the industrial market, such as the semiconductor industry.

I love skincare as much as the next person but I am always trying to find something to combat blemish scars and also leave me with gorgeously soft skin. So when I was contacted by Shadeen 27 who are a 100% organic and natural Scottish skincare company, to tell me of their beautiful products I jumped at the chance to sample them.
I was kindly sent the Vital-Age: Concentrated Serum/moisturiser* (from £18) which is packed with nourishing plant extracts including Omega 3, 6 9 and Vitamin E to help protect, hydrate and regenerate the skin. This is a little thicker than a serum as it doubles up as a moisturiser too. Please let me tell you, the scent of this is unlike anything I have ever smelled before. I had to keep opening the tub just to have a quick whiff every few minutes, its pungent and very fruity. This can be used on any skin type and can be used in the morning aswel as the evening. I haven't had any issues with this, no allergic reactions and no breakouts whatsoever.
|Shadeen 27 Vital Age Serum/Moisturiser and Vital Re-Gen 3 in 1 Cleanser
|Shadeen 27 Vital Age Serum/Moisturiser and Vital Re-Gen 3 in 1 Cleanser
I was also kindly sent the Vital-ReGen: 3-in-1 Cleanser/Scrub/ Mask* (from £28). This seems a little expensive to me as it didnt last as long as I would have liked but it did work. This is also packed with Plant Extracts and Essential Oils to thoroughly cleanse, polish & improve. This little guy is free of soaps, alcohol and detergents so it is very good for your skin as it won't foam up and cause your skin to dry out. As you can see from the picture below, the mixture is quite oily so give it a good shake before using it to make sure it mixes well.
As with the serum this includes a lot of beneficial ingredients too including, Chamomile Extracts, Grapefruit Extract, Rhassoul Clay, Cupaucu Seeds, Soya Beans, Asparagus Extract, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. Can anyone say Scented Heaven? This is a pleasure for the senses as it hits your nostrils instantly and leaves you wanting more. With this long list of natural ingredients, it promises to sooth and protects your skin, unclog pores, exfoliate, promote hydration, intensely moisturise and detox the skin. Does it really? Yes, it does. I loved this 3 in 1 cleanser as it could be used as an everyday morning or evening wash, a mask or an exfoliator. It worked very well for me. I was left with a glowing complexion which felt clean and soft. It wasn't too harsh and I loved how it stayed put when applied as a mask and left my skin visibly plumper and radiant.
I would whole heartedly recommend the cleanser as it done the job perfectly and didn't leave my skin feeling dry or stripped. The serum was nice too, it done everything it said it would apart from remove dark spots, I don't tend to believe this statement on most products but it did help combat the lighter coloured ones as I stated before. I absolutely adored the scent of these Shadeen 27 products, so much so that even if they didn't work or I didn't like them, I think I would buy again.
The only thing I am not too keen on is the packaging. It doesnt scream "Buy Me". I do love the colours though as green and gold can be beautiful together but the finished look wouldnt make me want to stop in an aisle and buy it.
If you want to try some great natural and organic products then I would suggest buying these. The sample cleanser lasted me about 14 days and the serum is still going strong (a lot goes a very long way).

Car Comparison: Which One Offers the Best Deal?
Every so often, the Kicking Tires blog compares competing vehicles to see which ones offer the best deals for consumers.
This round, they pitted the Chrysler 200 vs. Chevrolet Malibu, Lincoln Navigator L vs. GMC Yukon XL, and the Nissan Maxima vs Toyota Avalon. To make it a fair comparison, they chose models that included automatic transmission, air conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, Bluetooth, USB port, and power locks, windows and mirrors - basically all the popular options most car buyers are looking for.
Here were the results:
The 2012 Chrysler 200 won by a long shot with a savings of over $5,000, mostly due to its lower MSRP and more standard options.
Although the Yukon had a starting price that was $2,265 less expensive than the Navigator, it was the Navigator that came out ahead, saving you around $3,600 in total after financing.
The Maxima wins out with more than $2,500 in savings, but the Avalon does provide some nicer amenities such as standard leather upholstery.

A tribute to ED nurses
This happened four years ago. But it's such a fabulous story we thought we'd revive it for Emergency Nurses Week.
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) — A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said.
Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor's house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey, 59, a convicted felon with a long police record.
Police said there was no obvious sign of forced entry at the house when Kuhnhausen, an emergency room nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center, got home from work shortly after 6 p.m.
Under Oregon law, people can use reasonable deadly force when defending themselves against an intruder or burglar in their homes. Kuhnhausen was treated and released for minor injuries at Providence.
Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size—5-foot-7 and 260 pounds—may have given her an advantage.
"Everyone that I've talked to says, 'Hurray for Susan,'" said neighbor Annie Warnock, who called 911.
"You didn't need to calm her. She's an emergency room nurse. She's used to dealing with crisis."

The birds were stamped twice with Denim ink to add some life to the scene. Some highlights were added with a white gel pen and just a little bit of mistiness with white pigment ink.
Thank you for the visit!

- slide 1 of 6
The iPhone is in many ways the technological descendant of the iPod; in fact the iPod Touch is in many ways indistinguishable from the iPhone. Yet the features for listening to music on the phone are remarkably limited. It sounds good and you can usually find your music well enough, but if you want to create a playlist while you are listening to music it can be problematic, as well as the built in music player being slow. Panamp allows you to create dynamic playlists quickly, easily, and is faster too. But, the question remains whether it is worth buying Panamp or if the advantages are too minor to be worth the cost.
- slide 2 of 6
Panamp is effectively a replacement app for the music option in the iOS. If all you do is occasionally play a song or two then this may not be all that valuable. It uses the same speakers and so it sounds the same. If you use your iPhone to play music a lot though, then there is good reason to use this app. The most basic advantage is that it is faster; you won't notice this unless you open the music on the iPhone a lot, but if you do then this is worth the time. What is more likely to be noticed is that the interface has also been streamlined. When you play music in the normal music player it goes to another screen, in Panamp you are able to play music directly from the song list. This not only saves a bit of time every time you start a song, it's also of great assistance if you're looking through your library for specific songs.
The best part of this app though is what they call "dynamic queues." This basically lets you create a playlist of songs very quickly. All you have to do is scroll through your music and when you find an album or song you slide it to the right. It then goes to the queue screen and will be played in the order you move them in. You can also easily organize the order of those songs simply by sliding them up or down in this list. This is even faster than creating a playlist in iTunes. You can also do this while listening to music, so if you think of a song you want to listen to next, you have a way to do it. The only real weakness is that unlike iTunes you can't save these playlists for later.
- slide 3 of 6
User InterfaceRating
The interface of Panamp is very simple and similar enough to the basic iOS layout that the average user should feel very comfortable with it almost immediately as it is actually simpler than the basic setup. The only real weakness of this is that it could use a simple information screen to explain some of the few things that work differently or aren't available in the basic iPhone music app.
Things like moving the songs up and down the dynamic playlist list is very easy, but you have to touch the lines on the right side to move it and, if you don't know that, it can be frustrating. A bit more information on some of the other minor features would also be useful. Still, if what you want is a faster and easier way to listen to your music then this interface is considerably better than what is built into the iPhone, and it isn't all that difficult to understand without any directions.
- slide 4 of 6
There is very little doubt Panamp is better than the default iPhone music program. It is considerably faster, easier to use and lets you do everything that you can in the default iPhone set-up and a number of things that it can't. If you listen to a lot of music on the iPhone it becomes very valuable, but if you don't use it a lot then this isn't likely to change that. This means that the real question about the value is for those people who don't use the iPhone for music much. If someone has never been bothered or even noticed the speed of the iPhone music program, and music isn't something you use the device for often, then there is no great advantage here.
Beyond those who simply don't use this though the only real limit is that it would be nice to be able to save the playlists in Panamp. This would be more important if setting up these playlists was hard, but the reason that it is important in this case is because it is so easy to do, it would be nice to replace iTunes with it completely.
- slide 5 of 6
For anyone who uses the iPhone to listen to music regularly Panamp is going to be a good step up from the default iOS music player and the only real reason that someone might choose not to use this app is because they either don't use music much at all, or they prefer the ease of having the music button on the bottom of the screen rather than having to open an app. Even so, these are not enough to keep it from being a very highly recommended app.

Male announcer: Scientists working in the North, say Canada's falling far behind other circumpolar countries; in it's ability to support arctic research. They say there's not coherent Canadian policy, for research in the North. And, there's a lack of infrastructure and resources. They say many researchers are finding it easier to work in places like Alaska, Greenland, and even Antarctica. Because, they've got the logistics, the equipment, and facilities. Patricia Bell reports.
Patricia Bell : It's expensive to fly to the North. And, even more costly, to get to remote areas; where no commercial airlines fly. Tom Hutchinson says, that's why researchers have to make every dollar count. Hutchinson is the Chair of the Canadian Polar Commission. A main government agency, for polar research. He says the United States, has made large investments in arctic science, over the last 15 years. Scandinavian countries, are maintaining strong research activities. And, have included the Russians. But, Hutchinson says the research in Canada's North, has slipped behind.
Tom Hutchinson: It's actually cheaper to go to work in Southern part. And, you will have a lot better facilities than working in Northern Canada.
Patricia Bell : Hutchinson says, part of the problem, is a lack of coherent polar science and research policy. Dr. John England agrees. England is a Professor at the University of Alberta. And, has studied the North for 40 years.
Dr. John England : It would ensure, that we don't go from boom to bust. In terms of the passing interest, that the North seems to get. Why on earth - when we talk about sovereignty and so on, do we not have a policy. What's our problem?
Patricia Bell : England says, right now there's little coordination between programs in different Federal departments and the three territories. He says, with resources already limited, that leads to inefficiencies. Patricia Bell, CBC News.

There are very few recognised differentiators in the IA recruitment marketplace. The vast majority of preferred supplier lists recognise size and general capability but do not work well for the specialised areas of the marketplace. Even qualifications in recruitment are not well understood and seldom requested by the buying community.Professional recruitment agencies that have invested in their staff development and have chosen to specialise in specific areas of the IA marketplace provide an excellent service. Anyone with a telephone and an internet presence can, however, set up a recruitment business. Lists of specialist IA staff are easily obtainable and these lists are abused to a huge extent with promises of massive salaries or unrealistic contract terms and exciting positions that simply do not exist.
From the buying community perspective they are bombarded by CV's describing individuals who do not exist, are not interested in moving or do not demonstrate any of the appropriate technical skills nor professional experience necessary to fulfil the requirements of a specialist role.Professional specialist recruiters who invest time and effort to fully understand the marketplace and provide a positive contribution to the development of the industry are not recognised for the efforts. Unprofessional recruiters who make no effort and do not adhere to any code of conduct are not penalised and continue to operate.
The fast developing penetration testing, intrusion analysis, cyber incident response and security architect marketplace experiences all of the above.
To address these issues, CREST has been in discussion with a number of specialist technical information recruitment companies and collectively they have formed their own, independent body called CERIS, the Confederation of Ethical Recruiters in Information Security. CERIS has its stated aim as enhancing and improving the services of those providing recruitment services within the Information Security market place. It intends to:
- Be regulated, through a vigorous code of conduct & professional membership
- Assist employers in selecting knowledgeable, professional and ethical recruiters
- Provide advice and guidance to job seekers through advice, training, development
- Act as a trusted market place in which services can be exchanged
- Be the focal point for industry on trends and information relating to the sector
- Support growth by providing a competitive advantage for its members and customers
Please visit the CERIS website for further information on the organisation and how recruiters can join.

of 100 years
of a sealing membrane
• keep the water away from the structure or out of the inner working area
• protect and assure the concrete contruction against the corrosive, chemical components of the groundwater
Requirements to the sealing system
• repair ability (injection)
• resistance against chemical components
• weldable by thermal means (hot air)
• safe and economic inspection for damages
(built with a very thin signal layer on one side)
• flexible, elastic ( bridge crack formations without
loosing its functioning capacity, pressure of the fresh
concrete, hydrostatic pressure, creep, temperature,
increase of tension, etc.)
Material and Funktion of AGRU Tunnel Membranes
• made of very flexible Polyethylene
• high degree of flexibility
• high stretching resistance in multiaxial directions
• high resistance against tension tears
• high degree of resistance to chemicals
• suitable for drinking water (water protection area)
• with signal layer
• various thicknesses
• tested and approved according to the
requirements of DS 853, ZTV- Ing
and other technical specifications
Fundamental differences are made in
underground construction work in
rock, between sealing against
pressurised water and against seepage water
• for seepage water a 2.0 mm thick membrane
• for pressurised water a 3.0 mm thick membrane
• in each case provided with a signal layer
Lifetime of AGRU PE Membranes
Test according EN 13438 ("Autoklav ")BAM
For production of PVC, plasticisers are added to the vinyl chloride by a physical process (physical conjunction
"external plasticising", the flexibility of the basic material is created by adding of plasticisers to the molecule chains).
By burning or welding, PVC causes fumes, those contains hydrochloric acid; this can lead to cauterisations of the respiratory tract; scaffolds and machines made of carbon steel begin to corrode.
limited resistance to chemicals, depends on the composition and the temperatures
ageing by loss of plasticisers after thermal and/or chemical stress and as a result strong reduction of the flexibility (mono-axial and biaxial elongations are massively reduced).
mass extraction (wash out) in the event of strong water flow and water circulation
the combination of chemical compounds of ethylene copolymers (CO monomers) of varying flexibility (internal plasticisers) provides the flexibility of the basic material.
without plasticisers: do not contain any volatile or extractable components (mass extraction).
the incineration of PE does not cause any contaminants which could be hazardous to the environment
very high chemical resistance and high resistance to aggressive water
no extraction of components out of the geomembrane in the event of strong water flow and/or water circulation (internal/chemically linked plasticising)

As of July 2013, the Google Play store officially reached over 1m apps published and over 50bn downloads.
As of the same date, iTunes achieved 575m registered users and it's adding 500,000 new accounts every day.
There is no denying the power and ubiquity of Apple's digital music service, after all it has transformed the way that everyone on the planet consumes music.
iTunes is a deeply flawed experience though. It's impersonal and slow, with lack of support for different file formats, a stubbornly rigid price model and no browser access.
In an ongoing series I've been checking out the competition to see if I can find a digital music platform that can finally trump iTunes.
So far, 7digital and Amazon MP3 have both shown many surprising wins over the Goliath of iTunes. I saved Google Play till later as I expected this to be where the true battle lies.
I was wrong.
The experience begins well enough...
Top marks for clarity and attractiveness of layout.
It's not the most content-rich of homepages, but it's certainly an improvement on Amazon MP3's shotgun scatter approach.
The special offers on new releases, in particular the deal of the day are certainly attractive and offer a massive temptation away from iTunes and its rigid pricing policy.
Before I've even started browsing, I'm immediately presented with this pop-up, which explains the features of Google Play clearly.
Google Play is not only a music download site, it's a streaming site along the lines of Spotify.
In using other download sites such as 7digital and Amazon MP3, I'm used to very simple and fast purchase functionality. Here I'm already forced into a journey I may not have necessarily wanted to take in the first place and it's pretty long-winded.
Here are the steps:
I'm asked to create a Google Wallet account. There's no PayPal option.
I'm then asked if I want to download the Music Manager.
This is a separate programme that uploads your music to the cloud and downloads music from Google Play to your desktop.
So once all of that's done and downloaded, I'm free to browse.
Search and product listing
Search is fine, with predictive keyword suggestions.
Product listings are then presented well, with large clear images, prices and if you click on the artist picture you are presented with an impressively comprehensive biography.
Product page
I'm going to buy Madonna's Like a Virgin for £1.99, because I would be an idiot if I didn't.
Again a very attractive and clear layout.
Snippets of tracks can be previewed by clicking the 'graphic equaliser' button to the left of the track, and customer reviews can be accessed by scrolling down the page.
It does seem a little bare though. In fact I'm starting to realise that there's very little else going on here. Just grey.
There are no further recommendations here, let alone albums by the same artist. There's a single tag that says '80's pop' but when you click on it, it reveals these disappointing choices.
Prince? Fine.
Journey, Dire Straits and Tracey Chapman? I'm not sure Madonna fits in the same bracket there.
Basket and checkout
You can either click 'add to wishlist' to continue shopping without leaving the product page, or click the price, which denotes 'buy'.
After a single confirmation screen, your purchase is ready.
Post purchase downloading and streaming
You can listen to the album direct from the browser by clicking the clear call-to-action button in the pop-up window above. Although it's not clear how you download the album.
In fact it took me a while to find where you actually download your files from.
After clicking away from the pop-up, I headed into My Library, then I had to click on the relevant artist image, before landing on their list of tracks.
This in itself took a while to chase around.
I finally found the option to download here, hidden within the tiny slither of a menu button.
When I've clicked 'download' I'm informed of this:
Only twice? That seems a little tight.
Then I remember that I was encouraged to download the Music Manager at the start of my journey.
Upon clicking on the Music Manager, I'm presented with this message:
"Please sign in to the Google Play music player on the web before using Music Manager".
I'm already signed in to Google Play. I'm listening to Madonna right now through the player.
I click on the button in the pop-out that says 'Go to Google Play music player', it opens yet another browser tab that opens the Google Play music library that I'm already signed in to.
Patience is wearing a little thin now.
I then click on the 'retry' button within the pop-up, and it finally works.
I am subjected to multiple questions asking whether I want to sync the Music Manager with existing files on my desktop or iTunes, and various other customisable options before set-up is finished.
The Manager doesn't open automatically. I have to fire it up from my desktop.
Once it's all up and running though, downloading the tracks I've purchased is a straightforward and speedy process.
I can also download the tracks using the Music Manager as many times as I like. I'm not a big fan of using a separate programme to manage my music, expecially when I already have iTunes, Spotify, Windows Media and thanks to this series of articles, AmazonMP3 player.
However I am happy to find you can download the tracks directly from the web browser. The limit to two downloads does seem really stingy though.
You can stream any of your music via the online player, which launches at the bottom of your screen. So not terribly obvious to find. A separate window launch would be better.
When you navigate around the site while the player is streaming, new browser tabs are opened, so the playback remains uninterrupted, which is a handy feature, until you inevitably close the tab accidentally.
On top of this, the Music Manager doesn't allow you to stream music. It's just an download/upload manager.
Unlike the Amazon MP3 software that requires to be downloaded and launched in order to stream music from Amazon, the Google Play programme does nothing of the sort. It only streams through the browser.
Mobile site and app
Google Play doesn't operate a separate mobile site. You have to download the app.
That's fine, as I've had nothing but trouble with the Amazon MP3 and 7digital mobile sites due to the fact that you can only purchase from the mobile site and download and play through a separate app.
Unfortunately if you're an iOS user like myself, the Google Play app doesn't allow you to purchase music either. If I want to purchase music from Google Play on mobile, I have to navigate the desktop version of the site via Safari.
Then whilst in the app, I have yet to figure out how you actually download your purchases from the Google Play store. I have been assured by numerous online sources that it can be done, although I'm rather sceptical.
Is it because I'm using an iPhone? Is Google Play and iOS really that incompatible?
I can't be bothered with this anymore.
So I'll ask the question that I always ask at the end of each of these articles, just for the sake of tradition and to give myself the satisfaction of providing the answer.
Better than iTunes?
Emphatically no.
It may be better in terms of price, but I begrudge giving my money to something so restrictive, long-winded and unpleasant to use.
There's little in the way of curation. The navigation is terrible. Sign-up is needlessly long-winded. The Music Manager download was a farcical experience. I can't get my head around how I'm meant to use the app, or even if I can.
Is this just because I'm an Apple user? I'm doing all of this via Mac and iPhone. If this really is the case, then I'm shocked at how prejudiced the Google Play experience is against Apple users.

Trust me, the iTunes experience for an Android or Windows user is far more prejudiced.
Hmm... Perhaps the writers experience was affected somewhat by them being a Apple user primarily? Anyway, I've used iTunes and Google Play and prefer Google Play. Reasons and context:
I am, I must confess, quite the Google user. I use Chrome, Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive and have an Android phone and tablet (the Google Nexus 4 and 7). Therefore I'm already embedded in the ecosystem.
With Google Play All Access I get 25,000 songs for free, so I can upload my music library. I can then access this from any device by logging into my account - phone, tablet or laptop via a browser.
As I have All Access I can listen to any track in the whole Google library and add it to my playlists.
I also use the customised radio section to get music recommendations - and of course these can be a bit wonky and inaccurate - but they always are.
So it depends what you're looking for from a music service - the article seems to be based purely on creating an account and buying a few tracks which probably isn't Google Plays strong point TBF.
@Daniel - I can quite imagine you're right. I was coming from the point of view of someone who rabidly downloads music from a variety of sources, but who does so through a Mac and iPhone. It's frustrating that formats like this are so non-device agnostic. I'm sure iTunes is far more guilty of this (as suggested by Android users) then Google Play, and it certainly began the 'war'. The victor will be the format that backs down and offers a cross-device platform that works equally well for all operating systems.
@Chris Perhaps - or a third-party offering a really great solution that is device agnostic. Somebody show these comments to Spotify...
Hello Sir,
First of all, I can definitely say that Google Play Store is best on its place and iTunes standalone on its place. Well, there are many reasons why I love iTunes like it's very easy to easily navigate, UI is quite impressive and it loads faster than Google Play Store!
Has it occurred to you that Apple is part of the problem?
Part of creating a walled garden is making sure that if you stray outside it, it doesn't work well on your device.
Now I'm not defending Google Play here - it is another shit site trying to sell you stuff, rather than help you play what you already have.
But on a Nexus you do just click on the headphone logo, click on the album cover (or I'm feeling lucky button) and off you go.
Apple is the one that makes using google products difficult. Ever since the google maps, Apple has made it extremely hard for Google to continue to try and support Apple products. Since it has it's own mobile platform, why bother?
I use iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Spotify, and Deezer. Why? Because using only one of these formats is extremely idiotic.
1) iTunes, Amazon, Google Play all run MP3 promotions to get free and discounted music. Google Play has discounted better albums, IMO.
2) Google Play runs a free cloud music storage. 20,000 songs that are not from Google, and it stores any music bought from Google Play that doesn't count towards the 20,000. You simply cannot beat that. Amazon has a low restriction, and Apple's is pay to use.'
3) Spotify simply has the best options for streaming music
4) Deezer has the best options for streaming French music.
5) Google Play has music at a higher bitrate 320 versus 256 of iTunes and Amazon.
To me, reading about various music streaming services shows just how far from ideal UX everyone is. Google Play must work for Android users, whereas iTunes for iPhone ones. Spotify works for somebody else. Now however brings all the best from all of these platforms together and creates a smooth multi-device/ platform experience, will be the winner.

Depression Gene

Depression is a devastating condition that affects an estimated 350 million people per year. In a recent discovery, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital have found proof that depression may be caused by a DNA gene.
Usually, DNA scanning is involved with finding the biological cause for multiple diseases. But these depression genes have never been found through testing.
Researchers surveyed 300,000 people diagnosed with depression and found fifteen areas of DNA that showed signs of a "depression gene." In previous research, only two areas were proven to be linked to depression.There will be no change in medication to treat depression because of this new discovery in the near future. But now that scientists can better find the reasoning behind someone's mood or behavior. New drugs may one day be created to better treat patients suffering from depression.

Home Owner in Auburn
I am looking for someone who can come and clean my house either weekly, or every two weeks. I just need general cleaning done such as dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, and wiping down for the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and family rooms. My house is almost 2500sqft, has 3 bedrooms and 2. 5 bathrooms. My schedule is not typical. I work as a RN on night shift. I work every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday night. So I'd love it if someone could clean either W/Th/Fri. I also am in school full time for my Masters. My husband is an Ironworker and we have a beautiful 8-year-old daughter. Other family members include three dogs: Baxter (jack russell), D-Bo (poodle mix), and Scarlett (rat/boston terrier). They can be barkers but can be put in the kennel in the garage while cleaning.
