Q: What is approximately time? You guys used to have precise despawn time for pokémon, no?
A: We're reporting pokémon based on a new system which currently does not support precise despawn time. We don't want to send you on a goose chase, so all timer is set to start at 20 minutes. Even with this, there could be a chance that the pokémon won't be there.
Q: What happened to IV?
A: As mentioned above, this is a new system and IV is not supported, yet. We're always looking to add IV if possible, stay tuned.
Q: What's "Weather boost"?
A: Some pokémon get their level boosted (+5 level) when the weather is right for them. At the time of finding them, we recorded the weather and display together with their stats. If the weather changes later, their stats and level might change.
Note: while the level always increases by 5, IVs do not always increase. Weather might decrease/increase a pokémon's stat randomly.
Q: What's with your dumb icons? I want to see pokémon. HELP.
A: Some dudes in suit asked us to remove pokémon icons from our website, it's a really bad idea to keep using them (translation: we don't want to get sued).
Q: Can I have notification for rare Pokémon please?
A: You can get notifications from our
Twitter account
Telegram channels
. We also provide personalized notifications via Telegram with a
monthly subscription
Q: I love you guys, what can I do to help?
A: You could
to keep the map up and running.
Q: What areas are you covering?
A: All of Singapore, minus some remote areas.
Q: Why are some Pokémon on sighting list not showing up?
A: This map only shows non-lured Pokémon. Sighting shows non-lured AND lured ones. Mystery solved.
Q: I saw a pokémon on map and when I got there it was something else? WTF?
A: This happens when Niantic tweaks the spawn rate of a pokémon. When they do that, a pokémon changes to something else but keep the same IV stats. Unfortunately nothing we can do regarding this, it's on Niantic's side. Good thing is they don't do this very often.
Q: Can you show shiny on map?
A: Shiny is unique per player, which means a pokémon might be shiny for you but not for other players. So, no.
Q: What is "Filter On/Off"?
A: When you zoom in close enough, we give you an option to disable filter and show all Pokémon. This is especially useful when you're desperate and just want to catch any pokémon nearby. To toggle Filter on and off, simply tap on it.
Q: I messed up and selected too many Pokémon, now my map lags too much. Help?
A: Click
to reset your filter.
Q: What is the problem with private browsing on Safari? Are you trying to stealing my info?
A: We need some features that aren't enabled in private browsing on Safari. And no, we don't care enough to steal your data. Your nudes are safe.

How To Reset Tire TPMS Light on 2016 2017 Lincoln Navigator – The Navigator was renewed again in 2007. On that occasion, the line and the mechanics were updated. Unveiled at the Chicago Car Show in February 2006, the new Navigator features a redesigned calendar, a refurbished front, a new front bumper line and an upgraded rear. The front calendars and front lights recall those of Lincoln Continental in 1963. The tail and tail lights come from those of the MKZ.
In 2009, the engine became Flex. The rear camera used for parking stages and which was introduced in 2008, in 2009 became standard. The second row of seats has become heated. In 2010 and 2011 the changes were minimal. This third series of Navigator is assembled in Wayne and Louisville.
How To Reset Tire TPMS Light on 2016 2017 Lincoln Navigator:
To turn off or reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light on your 2016 2017 Lincoln Navigator, follow these steps:
- Drive the vehicle above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least two minutes and then stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off and engage the parking brake.
- Turn the ignition to position On without starting the engine.
- Turn the hazard flashers on then off 3 times within 10 seconds.
- If the reset mode has been entered successfully, the horn will sound once.

I started school today. I got lots of comments like,
"Wow! You look so different!"
"Your hair is so cute!"
"How long does it take for the swelling to go down?"
"You barely look swollen at all!"
"How's your face?"
"How's your jaw?"
"Does it hurt?"
And most people were able to recognize me! Yaaaaaaaay.
I spent most of the day hating my splint. I feel like I talk like a 7 year old with a pillow in my mouth.
I DID NOT DROOL. I am seriously so scared this is going to happen. I have an emergency mini-pack of kleenexes stashed in my backpack just in case.
Luckily, I was able to go home for lunch. So I ate leftover ramen noodles (If you chop them up enough, they're pretty easy to eat!) and mashed potatoes, and cut up steamed broccoli.
I ran one mile today at cross country. Our first race is tomorrow, and I'm debating on whether I want to participate or not. Our races are 5Ks, which I easily ran last Friday, but at races you're kinda supposed to push yourself and I'm scared to push myself. I would really hate to faint in the middle of a race... but eh. We'll see.
You get crummy laptop pictures again, because the only person home is my brother, and I don't trust his photography skills (sorry Henry).
|I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that I have a chin now

RSA Round-up 2012
by VPNHaus | 03/06/2012 |Industry Commentary, Shows
This year'swrapped up just last week, so we wanted to take a look at the top trends and issues that emerged at the show. Here's a condensed round-up of what a few industry pundits are saying about this year's show:
There was an unusual level of gloom at the RSA Conference this year, and for good reason: a number of the biggest and most respected security firms have been very recently breached, including RSA Security, VeriSign, and Symantec.
This wasn't the first year the IT security industry was embarrassed. Last year, HB Gary Federal was breached and that event consumed a considerable amount of talk at the show. That's not to forget the recent big name breaches at organizations such as Google, the U.S. Department of State and Nasdaq in recent years.
"There is a feeling that no matter what steps one takes, it can't be won. Systems can't be kept adequately secured," said a security executive at an international electronics manufacturer.
For full column click here.
- The general tone I heard is that we're tired of the Cloud as a buzz-word. We're tired of having to discuss the same Cloud-y topics over and over. But the fact is, we need to keep doing it. The Cloud sessions were well-attended because for many security leaders, it's where our organizations are going, and we're not prepared to lead the way yet. So this love/hate relationship with Cloud security exists.
- BYOD is the phrase of the year. Some people call it "consumerization" of IT… but that's so 2010. Bring your own device (BYOD) was 2012's hottest topic, with long lines to get into those sessions, especially anything that dealt with the iPad or iPhone. This subject most reveals the lagging nature of security. The first iPhone was released in 2007, and the first CEO probably required his IT staff to support it about 15 minutes later. Yet we are still working on the right balance of corporate governance versus consumer freedom, and how we can enable remote access to corporate data without running the risk of this data getting into the wrong hands.
- Big data. Personally, I think this topic is cool, and this is probably my favorite trend from RSA. Analyzing big data is a relatively unexplored frontier. We're doing an adequate job of aggregating logs and amassing large databases. But we're terrible at figuring out how to parse this data and deliver real value to the business…There were a number of sessions where we could talk and learn more about how security can utilize big data to discover trends and better protect the environment.
For the full post, click here.
We'll continue our RSA round-up on Thursday. Until then, what was your biggest lesson learned from RSA 2012?

Munich Soccer Stadium/
Sports - Munich Soccer Stadium
If you are a massive football fan then you will appreciate how well football stadiums are built and how they can have a big impact when they are fully built. One of the biggest stadiums in the world is the Munich Stadium which is held in Germany. In the next few paragraphs we are going to talk about the different aspects of stadium and the history behind it.
Some facts about Munich Stadium in Germany
The Capacity of this stadium holds 80,000 People.
It has some major football world cup events
It has been allowed to provide concerts in the stadium which has attracted some biggest names in the music industry.
If you do go to Germany and you are a football fan you should not miss this chance to visit the Munich stadium. You will be breath taken on how big the stadium actually is and you will be impressed on how beautiful the designers have made the stadium. If you get chance to watch a game inside the stadium you will find that the atmosphere will be electric. The crowd gets noisy and lively like a massive block party.
This stadium has been built for over 40 years and it has some had some amazing events. The first biggest event that was held in Munich stadium was in fact the world cup in 1974. Due to the capacity size it allowed Germany to hold the final and they produced an emphatic win against the Netherlands which came to 2-1. This produced the record attendance for a football game in Munich. The Munich stadium also held the Euro 1988 Cup. West Germany only got to play one game in that cup at Munich stadium in there group a match which was against Spain and they won 2-0.
England football team came across to the Munich stadium for a friendly in 1978 which they beat West Germany 2-1. England also came back to the Munich Stadium for the 2002 World cup Qualifier which they beat Germany 5 -1.
This stadium has also produced the Olympics in the summer of 1972. They allowed the Olympics at the Munich stadium due to the fact that it has a track around the center of the pitch.
If you are looking to take a tour around the stadium then one major part would be to see if you are able to go onto the pitch. If you are looking to go on the pitch then you are better to email the company to see if you will able to go on. Normally they allow people to go onto the pitch but only for a few minutes.
As you can see this stadium have had some of the most exciting football tournaments in the world which has provided the Munich stadium to gain some historic events since it has been built. It is defiantly a must if you are looking to go to Munich in Germany.

What would you do if you could not fail?/
Thanks to Liz for sending me an email with this fruitful question:
What would you do if you could not fail?
These days I finding myself coaching people who are wondering about their Careers. And at the root of their career questions there is often one commonality: How can I make the leap to do the type of work I really, really, really want?
Last night I was coaching someone who realized not only is she wired and gifted to do the work she really, really wants--but she's done it and been successful.
Another thing people are discovering (and I'm lucky enough to witness it) is: They succeed at doing what is fulfilling to them when they do what they like.
Because, and this is my opinion, that which we like we like because we are gifted in doing that.
Otherwise, it's swimming upstream.
This morning I met some Masters swim group pals for coffee and we talked. One thing we talked about was how sometimes in looking for What We Want to Do, we discover we're already doing it--at least a part of it, or if we aren't quite there we're really close.
So the questions to get to a more fulfilling yummy place could be:
What do I need to do to move further up the scale of achieving my Great Life?
Let's say, if the scale goes from 1 to 10 and you're at, say, a 7 or an 8 and you want to be at a 9 or 10. What is one teeny-tiny action or shift you can make that can lead to getting closer to who you want to be?
What tiny teeny action or conversation shift or internal attitude change might happen if you believed you could not fail in anything in the next week?
Especially if you were doing things you liked (and you were not hurting people, etc etc)?
Who do we become if we aren't weighed down--or motivated by--fear? I see wings growing from our backs and crowds of smiling peaceful faces.
Have fun succeeding in getting closer to doing what you really, really WANT to do!

A Remarkable Year for Gold Mining Projects/
2016 was a stellar year for Otis Gold Corp.
We are pleased to outline below this year's news and accomplishments. Activity and interest in the junior gold exploration and development sector increased significantly during the year, driven by a rising gold price between January and July. This stronger gold value combined with extremely encouraging results from our 2015 drill program, positioned us well to advance our flagship asset, the Kilgore Gold Project. In this process, we realized a number of significant milestones.
Development Work at Kilgore
In July, Otis commenced a 5,550-metre, 20-hole drill program targeting gold mineralization in the Aspen Formation (the sedimentary unit underlying the main known lithic tuff host rock at Kilgore). In September, we announced results from the first six holes that intersected mineralized zones ranging from 55-metres to 120-metres (m) thick and grading from 0.82 to 1.55 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au). As a result, the drill program was increased to 9,000 metres over 36 holes. In fact, during October, we officialized an 116% increased land position at Kilgore via the staking of an additional 230 federal lode mining claims. The new claims increased the land package to 8,720 acres, or 35.3 square kilometers. Come November, we compleated drilling and announced further increase of the program to a 40-hole 10,300 metre program. It is worth noting that Otis maintains a 100% ownership interest in the claims and the project is subject to no underlying royalties.
This year we've raised a total of approximately $3,660,000 via private placements and warrant exercises. In late June, we announced a $500,000 straight equity (eg. no warrant) private placement at a price of $0.17 per share. Heavy demand subsequently increased this to approximately $2,300,000. Then, in early December, we were able to announce a second private placement of $500,000 priced at $0.27 per share (again with no dilutive warrants - closing pending). Both these financings were well above market price, confirming ongoing shareholder support of our rapidly developing Kilgore Gold Project. Additionally, we raised approximately $860,000 through the exercise of warrants in October at a price of $0.15.
In February, Dr. Tim Miller joined our Board of Directors. Dr. Miller has recently retired from a long career in the financial services and other industries. From the stat, Miller held successively senior roles in companies such as Glaxo Wellcome plc, Wang UK Limited, Standard Life Assurance Company and, most recently, Standard Chartered Bank plc. We were very pleased to bring Dr. Miller's broad range of experience to our Board, particularly in the areas of corporate governance and risk management. Additionally, Mr. Eric Klepfer, a member of Otis' Advisory Board, agreed to take on a much more active role in the Company and has been leading our permitting efforts.
For further details and Otis' plans going forward, please read the full press release.

Engineered virus could treat brain cancer
Researchers at Canada's University of Calgary have engineered a virus so that it might one day be used to treat glioma, an aggressive form of brain tumour.
Preliminary testing in mice showed that a mutant form of a virus called vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) was able to act selectively against glioma cells, but left healthy cells unharmed.
Several viruses have properties that make them suitable for targeting cancer cells, if only scientists could work out how to turn off their less-desirable properties.
VSV is a naturally occurring virus that can infect horses. Previous work has suggested that it might be adaptable as an anti-cancer, or 'oncolytic', virus.
"We engineered VSV to make it safer," Dr Peter A Forsyth, of the Clark Smith Integrative brain center told Reuters.
VSV was shown to be equally effective across 14 different glioma types, causing tumours to shrink. The virus was most effective when delivered into the bloodstream.
This means that VSV could "be given intravenously rather than injected directly into the brain, so it's easier for patients than an operation and if needed it can be given several times as an outpatient", said Dr Forsyth.
VSV "is promising in mice and we are excited about it, but we need to be cautious and continue to evaluate it before moving into a clinical trial," he added.
The study is published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

This is our place to share with the world the daily thoughts, events, worries and successful endeavors that occur in our lives.

Only an hour away, yet we never go.
My husband and I agree that it isn't a city we really enjoy. Maybe it is because we both grew up around here and have visited many of the sights already. Or maybe we are just home bodies that get busy doing or normal things and don't take the time to enjoy the sights in our own area very often. Or maybe it is just that driving in San Fran is a bit scary with the thin narrow streets that are often one way and people everywhere walking, biking (I don't know how they do it with all the steep hills) and even Segwaying their way through the busy streets. Then there are all the busses and cable cars and such that bustle about and we have to dodge. Parking in SF is also quite a chore and often very expensive. For what ever reason we usually try to avoid going into the city unless we have to.
So what would cause us to drive an hour up the Peninsula and endure this city? We went today because some blogging friends of ours happened to be in the Bay Area, so we went to the Wharf to hang out with them for a little while. I haven't had the opportunity to meet any of the new friends I have made through blogging so this was a special treat.
We meet at Pier 39, one of the most busy places in San Francisco. And we spent a few hours walking around and looking at the sights around the pier. The kids loved the Aquarium of the Bay where they got to see some of the sea creatures that are found in the bay. But most enjoyed touching the rays and, if lucky, a tiger shark.
We mostly just walked along taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells of the wharf.
The kids climbed on anything they could.
And we just enjoyed being out in the sun with friends.
We said good bye to our friends and then drove up to Coit tower,
to see the view from up there. It was beautiful.
We could see Lombard Street from where we were on Telegraph Hill so the kids decided we had to drive down it.
Ian didn't much care for the steep hills we had to drive up and down in order to find Lombard, but the others thought it was quite a fun roller coaster like ride.
We didn't ever make it to a trolley ride. We had thought that sounded like fun. One day we will take the kids on a ride up and around SF on a real cable car but for now they just got excited about spotting them out the window as we drove around.
No, we don't make it into the city very often. But once in awhile it is worth the time and effort to head out on an adventure. This is how my kids referred to our day. They called it "a fun adventure". Maybe we should plan more of these excursions into the jungles of San Francisco more often.
Thanks Cellista, and family, for heading our way. We had a great time.

It looks like you had a great time, despite the narrow, curvy streets!
Also, just letting you know that my friend Cindy (Our Journey Westward) and I have just launched a brand new company offering nature-themed e-book unit studies. We are having a giveaway to celebrate. We'd love to have you come visit.
Blessings, Melissa

Act 1. The Quaker side.
Quakers have been in Tottenham (North London) for 300 hundred years. Quakers do not have a traditional creed and that each person has direct access to God.
Quaker women there used to bake used to bake and sell tray bakes, topped with pink icing traditionally died with mulberries off the tree in the burial ground (for extra flavour?). It was then sliced in squares and sold.
Here's where things get interesting, the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club started in 1880 but it wasn't until In 1901 when dozens of square slices were given away free to local children to celebrate the Club's first victory in the FA Cup Final.
It has since then been associated with the Football Club and is a popular treat for parties and picnics.
Act 2. Dreamy Derbyshire.
Bakewell was the old capital of the Peak District, founded in 1330, this small town is surrounded by forests near the banks of the River Wye. For centuries it has been a favourite tourist destination. But it is also famous for its desserts, specially the Bakewell Tart/Pudding. There is certain confusion about them.
The recipe has evolved over the centuries, and the very Eliza Acton and Mrs Beeton have their own versions for a Bakewell pudding. From a pudding in the sense of a creamy, thick dessert the recipe changed to a layered baked tart, tartlet or traybake with a shortcrust base, the next layer is a strawberry compote or jam then topped with an almond sponge.
Act 3. Grand finale.
Sometime ago, I made a birthday traybake that resulted in a combination of a Tottenham cake and the Bakewell tart. It is a great idea for a picnic, easy to carry, slice and eat.
For the shortcrust pastry you will need:
- 200g white flour
- diced cold butter.
- 2 tbsp. caster sugar.
- 3-4 tbsp cold water.
Prepare just like you would any standard shortcrust. I found it easier to roll out and place it into a greased and dust mould. Pop it into the freezer for 15 minutes, don't forget to pierce the base with a fork. Cover with tin foil or baking parchment and baking beans, or rice.
Turn the oven at 180ºC
Bake for 15 minutes
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
The filling:
- Flour.
- Butter.
- Vegetable oil.
- natural Yoghurt.
- 200g caster sugar.
- 2 tbsp. milk.
- tsp. baking powder.
- Zest of 2 big lemons.
- 3 eggs.
Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl beginning with the wet ingredients, then sift the flour and baking powder.
Use an electric mixer to quickly achieve an even and smooth batter.
When the crust is cooked, let chill for 5 minutes then spread the compote trying not to put too much syrup and cover the bottom evenly.
Then *gently* pour the batter into the mould trying not to mix the compote but rather covering it, level it with a spatula.
Bake for 35minutes and let cool for 2 hours minimum.
Strawberry compote:
- clean, chopped strawberries.
- caster sugar.
- 1 tbsp dried lavender flowers.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Use a tall iron pot and cook for 20 minutes, be careful not to burn yourself, keep a medium heat so it doesn't splatter too much and stir gently but frequently.
Transfer to a sterilized jar and let it cool completely.
Then put the lid on and keep it in the fridge.
- icing sugar.
- 2 drops of red food dye.
- Juice of the 2 lemons.
In a small bowl combine all the ingredients and apply with a spatula on the surface of the cool tart. If you don't wait long enough it will melt, so be patient and wait till the tart is totally cold.
Leave the icing dry for at least an hour. Once the icing has set, slice the tart into square portions and transfer to a rack.
Chocolate ganache:
- chocolate (I melted red chocolate apeels)
- 3 tbsp. cream.
In a small bowl put the chocolate and cream on a bain marie until they're both completely incorporated. Turn the heat off and keep moving the chocolate with a silicon spatula for about 4-5 minutes until it begins to cool but remains "fudgy".
Transfer to a piping bag (use the smallest decorating tip) Decorate the squares with diagonal stripes. If your kitchen is cool, let it set there. If not, you can pop the squares into the fridge.

'We witnessed and felt a moment of pure magic during the Malpas Yesteryear Rally this year and I am writing to you because it occurred during your final show of the weekend. At the start of this performance of your close up magic with coin, crystal ball and handkerchief you chose a little girl to assist you. It was a silent performance so I don't think we ever knew her name. At the moment that crystal ball vanished and the sadness on your face at its loss we were both drawn to this little girl. The sadness she shared and worry for you was palpable and in all honesty from that moment I'm not entirely sure what magic you were performing as we were all, without exception, captured by the absolute focus on her face. This changed from worry to concentration and hope then wonder when she was guided to waggle her fingers in the direction of your closed hand and then she realised she was going to be part of the actual real life magic and make something appear from nothing. No words will ever be able to express that expression we saw but it is something that I believe will always stay with us and I'm not ashamed to say that along with goosebumps we both welled up a little at how adorable this moment was. We are convinced that she will go on to have a fondness in her heart for magic for the rest of her days. We have been captured by the warm embrace of your shows for many years now from the very first time at Hollowell Steam Show seven or so years ago to Malpas this year. I hope that everyone who experiences your show has at least just a moment, even a flicker of the magic that little girl expressed so openly on her face. If they do, there is hope for wonder in the world once again.'
It is rare that I stop to watch a street performance (last time was at The Fringe) but today we were all captivated by your performance. Your enthusiasm and energy were infectious (an infection that no antidote is called for)! You entertained my family aged from 8 to 73 for the whole of your performance.
Thrilling, amazing and exceptional are just a few words that spring to mind.
As they say in Scotland - Lang may your Lum Reek.

In the last week how much have you thought about your great-grandparents? I would venture to guess that most of us would answer not at all regarding these important family members. It's a bit scary to think that in more or less three generations you will be forgotten. When my wife first thought of this idea, it immediately summoned up a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. How can the memories of us all but vanish that quickly?
I think that feeling in my stomach was my ego getting very uncomfortable. Ego or self-importance can create a great deal of unnecessary stress. Most of us think of ourselves as being important, with important things to accomplish. Sometimes when this self-importance gets a little over-grown in our minds we start to exaggerate the things that don't matter in our lives. A large amount of unnecessary stress can come from "sweating the small stuff." Realizing how brief and rather insignificant our life is can put things into perspective.
I like to use this exercise of knowing that I'll be forgotten as a tool when I'm stressed and I need to manage my thoughts. Dr. Wayne Dyer calls it "being the observer." In other words, stepping back and realizing that in the grand scheme of things we are but a small piece of something larger and these trivial worries that start to run our lives are so tiny that it is laughable in how much it invades our well-being.
There's nothing wrong with being forgotten in three generations, in fact it can be very comforting. Who is going to remember my shortcomings, mistakes and failures? Why should I ruin my health and enjoyment of life stressing about everyday problems? Why shouldn't I take risks and do what I love without fear of failure or what others think? When we see that we aren't all that high and mighty, our sense of self-importance gets out of the way and allows for what really matters to surface.

Charlie Puth found himself stuck in a love conundrum when his rapid-fire fling with Bella Thorne took a turn down splits-ville, and the real truth came out.
Step aside, T-Swift, because according to Twitter and the #BellaThorneIsOverParty, there's a new snake in town.
Bella Thorne has sure made her way through headlines this year, quickly scoring herself a reputation as 2016's serial dater, but now more than ever, let it be known to ALL public figures that what happens in the public eye, most definitely ends up on Twitter the next day, and forevermore.
After making her way through multiple "relationships" in the past six months, including, but not limited to, her best friend Bella Pendergast, Gregg Sulkin, Tyler Posey and most recently Charlie Puth, Bella may have just lost her strong hand at juggling after photos of her and Charlie kissing on the beach in Miami surfaced around the same time many thought to believe she was still dating Tyler.
Just last night, Bella cryptically tweeted a throwback Polaroid photo of her and Tyler writing "Taking a trip down memory lane", and all chill was lost on Charlie's end when he lashed out with multiple statements via Twitter this morning, saying that he wants nothing more than to remove himself from the whole situation. His public apology began last night when fans believed his tweets were directed at Tyler, saying QUOTE, "I'm sorry… you know who you are. I messed up a lot of things, I get it if we can't be friends… you know who you are. But if you could just come to your senses… you know who you are."
The tweeting resumed this morning when Charlie kicked back up with, "I can't believe what I'm reading." A fan then tweeted to the singer QUOTE, "@charlieputh Bella still was with Tyler when she started dating Charlie and now Tyler knows it. That's it," and the tea was SPILLED when Charlie clapped back with, "She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me."
He also wrote that, "No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it. I don't know Tyler personally, but I know he shouldn't be treated this way."
Charlie eventually ended his long apology with one final tweet claiming that he wants nothing but peace for all and will officially be removing himself from the situation. Bella has since responded to Charlie's accusations, saying QUOTE, "Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends. That article was written forever ago."
Buuut based off of Charlie's tweets and their very public display of affection, the Twittersphere, on the other hand, has formed their own opinion as the hashtag "BellaThorneIsOverParty quickly began trending and many were quick to notice Bella not-so-subtly liking some of Charlie's tweets including one that read, "I'm sorry… you know who you are."
Sooo if we had to make an educated guess based on Charlie's tweets, one thing he seems to want to get across to Bella is "WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE". Too soon? I'll let you guys decide, and as always, I want to know your other thoughts regarding Charlie's tweets and his breakup with Bella, so get to talking right down here in the comments. After that, take a trip down memory lane during much happier times as we relive our favorite childhood Christmas traditions on a brand new Throwback.

for Business Plus Spotlight
Christine Heath of Lakewood is one of thousands when she says adopting a pet from the Humane Society of Boulder County (HSBV) transformed her life for the better. After "dealing with the stress of the day and rush-hour traffic," Heath said, "When I see (my dog) come running toward me as if I am the best thing in his world, everything else fades away." She continued, "It is too easy to get wrapped up or bogged down by the day-to-day. When I don't especially feel like going out for that run I know I should do, his eager face can always get me outside even if it's just for a walk. When I can't take any more of the news, most of which isn't particularly uplifting, I can take him in the yard to play and watch him chase a ball or splash in the water with no regard for politics or crime or the economy, and I can revel in his joy."
Building and supporting a community of kindness and compassion for both pets and people is the mantra at HSBV. Lisa Pederson, CEO, explained, "It is the mission of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to protect and enhance the lives of companion animals by promoting healthy relationships between pets and people. We were founded more than a century ago in 1902, yet this mission holds true today as we work to support pets in need in our own community and partner with other animal welfare organizations, sharing our mutual mission of saving more animals' lives."
Some of the humane society's many offerings include a senior support program, which assists seniors by offering medical and foster care to their dogs during hospital or hospice stays, as well as a veterinary clinic open to the public and training and behavior courses reaching more than 5,000 clients a year. HSBV's shelter provides care for more than 7,000 animals annually, with 95 percent successfully adopted or reunited with guardians. Pederson said, "Our success rates are supported by our behavior modification program, which helps shelter dogs and cats overcome behavior problems; our shelter medicine program, which provides quality and compassionate medical services to shelter animals; and our safety net program, which ensures healthy relationships are supported in times of need and crisis."
Heath has experienced this firsthand. Before she adopted her dog, Puck, at 10 weeks old, her now-beloved furry friend received life-saving care from the shelter medicine program. "I am a first-time dog owner," Heath said, "and not unlike a first-time parent, I had far more questions than answers. I reached out to the HSBV staff if he didn't seem playful or if his nose wasn't damp or if he had a sore on his paw, and they always professionally, patiently and cheerfully guided me through my concerns."
Attending the puppy classes at HSBV Training Center nurtured Heath and Puck's bond and fortified Heath's confidence. She recalled, "Allison, our instructor, took time to work with each of us individually as well as in a group and explained the philosophy and reasons behind each lesson. When I mentioned Puck was not a fan of bath time, she suggested putting a bit of peanut butter on the side of the tub so he could distract himself with a reward and bath time wouldn't seem so bad to him. That personal attention by staff members at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley is what I have received and witnessed repeatedly."
Allison Hartlage, Training and Behavior Manager, brings "force-free, science-based support" to dogs and cats displaying fear, aggression or anxiety and offers consultations with pet guardians "simply when they want to work on potty training, manners or learn how to have more fun with their pet," she said. HSBV's progressive, reward-based behavior modification program for shelter animals strives "to modify things such as fear, dog-dog incompatibility and body-handling sensitivities," she said. The program also supports animals with hearing or vision impairments.
"I love helping animals to feel safe and to have skills that allow them to make better and safer decisions," Hartlage said. "This is welfare at its best, and it not only makes everyone, trainer and animal, feel better, but it saves lives. Watching an animal be the best version of themselves because of the support they receive at HSBV and in their homes keeps me coming back to work every day."
That commitment to supporting pets and people is what first drew Heath to HSBV. "To a person, the staff at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley demonstrates compassion not only for the animals in their care but also the people whose lives are impacted by animals, be it through the companionship of a pet or a passion for the defenseless creatures with whom we share the planet," she said. Each year HSBV cares for hundreds of pets in distress from natural disasters and other traumatic events through transfer program partnerships with animal shelters across our state and region. "Last year we transferred in animals impacted from hurricanes, as well as areas right here in Colorado, giving them medical support, behavioral care, and a safety net of compassion and kindness," Pedersen said. Pets are cared for both at the HSBV shelter and in dedicated foster care homes, and donations help the shelter meet the most critical and emergent needs of the animals at HSBV.
Indeed, since HBSV as a private nonprofit is not operated or funded by national humane groups or governmental agencies, donations from the community enable the society to support pets and people in flourishing relationships. HBSV CEO Lisa Pedersen said, "Our community's amazing support allows the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to provide life-changing resources through our transfer, behavior modification, shelter medicine and safety net programs. Each of these services extends the compassion of the Boulder community to pets in need. They make so much possible for pets and the people who love them."
She added, "It is truly an honor to serve a community that is so dedicated in its commitment to helping animals. Every day, we work together to make Boulder an even better place – sharing love and kindness to strengthen these amazing animal relationships. Your commitment to the relationships we share with our pets ensures HSBV can dedicate each day to supporting these incredible connections – whether it is a newly formed relationship or a lifelong bond – keeping loving families together. I am so grateful I am able to witness these amazing moments when bonds are created and strengthened."

Ahhh, it's 4th of July weekend - what!? I can't believe it, the year is already 1/2 over. Mind. Blown!
Summertime is the BEST time to get outside with the kids and practice taking your own photos. Sunset is late and everyone is relaxed and going with the flow. Pool parties, blueberry picking, cook-outs and road trips.
Please don't let this Summer slip by with only phone images that live forever in the mythical "cloud".
Does anyone know what the cloud really is!? If so, can you tell me? I imagine a quintessential computer geek living on a cloud with lots of filing cabinets and a red stapler. Seriously, I could write a sitcom about this.
I just want to encourage you Moms and Dads to get out your "fancy" camera, whatever that may be. It could be a point and shoot, film camera or a DSLR. It doesn't really matter, but please print or save these images in a way that your children and grandchildren will be able to see one day. Because the hard truth is that you'll only have this Summer once. Sure, you might get those images next year, but is anything ever guaranteed? Nope. And your kids are growing and changing at warp speed. I say this not to be the Debbie Downer of the internets, but to light a fire under you for documenting THIS Summer.
So get out there. Get messy. And enjoy this season now.
I just love this one of my Mom and Charlotte splashing at the beach :) One of my favorite images from childhood is one of my Mom holding me at the beach. So special! <3
If you'd like some help with the buttons and dials on your DSLR, I have ONE seat left for the next installment of Only Little Once. We'll be talking about camera basics and how to get off Auto mode. I hope to see you there! :)

The Social Network, the film that chronicles the invention of Facebook, opens with Mark Zuckerberg being dumped by a girlfriend he has been treating contemptuously. In a misogynistic rage, he goes back to his Harvard University dorm and Facemash, a website that enables students to compare pairs of photos of Harvard women and rate their attractiveness.
In real-life, Facemash also compared boys but that wouldn't have advanced the film's vision of an insecure and angry Zuckerberg compensating for his humiliation at the hands of this fictional girlfriend. According to the film, the very invention of Facebook and Zuckerberg's decision to expand it to other campuses were motivated by his desire to impress this girl. In fact, he had a serious long-time girlfriend even before he launched Facebook.
The real Facebook story began in the summer of 2003, when Zuckerberg spent the summer with a couple of computer-science-student buddies. They all had easy jobs in Boston, coding websites. Their time off they spent in bull-sessions, debating where the internet would go next.
One, Zuckerberg's high school best friend and CalTech student Adam D'Angelo, had invented a service in early 2003 called Buddy Zoo. Users listed their friends and compared their list to those their friends had uploaded. What resulted was a rudimentary social network - a set of connections between people. Buddy Zoo grew to several hundred thousand users within months then D'Angelo let it die. It was merely an experiment.
But Buddy Zoo pointed towards the future, these boys thought. There must have been a reason it got so popular so fast. Out of those lengthy conversations, Zuckerberg developed a set of convictions. The internet was becoming social. Sharing of information between individuals was getting easier. Transparency - an ease of access to information about all manner of things - was growing rapidly due to irresistible technology and social trends. He resolved on his return to Harvard that autumn to develop services exploring these ideas.
In the first weeks of his second year of college, he created two new services. The first, CourseMatch, was a way for Harvard students to figure out who was signing up for which classes. People wanted to get into classes with people they liked. The service was, briefly, a hit. A couple of weeks later he created Facemash.
He built more such social services, experimenting with various ways of linking individuals together. One was called Six Degrees of Harry Lewis--a way to categorize every student at Harvard based on his or her social proximity to Zuckerberg's favorite computer science professor.
Finally, in early February 2004, he launched the service initially called Thefacebook. Students could create a profile for themselves and declare who their friends were. Within four days it had 650 users. After a month thousands were using it and Zuckerberg began to expand, first to Columbia, Yale, and Stanford. The rest is history. Today Facebook has over 500 million active users worldwide. It's the most-used Website in the world, and continues to grow rapidly, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, Turkey, Venezuela, and South Africa. In many of these places people are coming onto the Internet just to use Facebook.
Zuckerberg's motivation, far from being driven by feelings of social inadequacy, was quite intellectual. He didn't know what would happen but he proved surprisingly adept at managing its growth. He resisted bombarding users with advertising, believing it best to let the service reach its natural market size without offending them. This is accurately portrayed in the movie; his early business partner Eduardo Saverin insists the company has to immediately "monetize" and Zuckerberg refuses. He still believes that growth is more important than short-term monetization. Since he has total control of the company, his opinion is the only one that matters. He is patently unimpressed with 500 million users. He looks instead at a planet approaching seven billion people and asks why they can't all use Facebook. Harking back to those convictions he refined in the summer of 2003, he sees himself building the most efficient tool in history for sharing and communication between people. For him, Facebook is a tool for the empowerment of individuals which will make the world a better place. You'd never know that from the movie, but that's Hollywood.

Match Report:
Two late goals from
Francois Zoko
helped rescue a point against
this afternoon at Huish Park, to help lift Yeovil Town off the foot of the League Two table. The 2-2 draw gained looked rather unlikely with ten minutes remaining, with the Bees having gained a two goal advantage at the break.
Aaron McLean
scored direct from a free kick midway through the first period, before breaking the offside trap during first half injury time to double Barnet's lead. Yeovil produced some spirit during the second period, putting pressure on Barnet's penalty box, but it wasn't until Zoko headed home a Connor Roberts cross on 80 minutes that things began to take shape. The visitors were sucked deep and with four minutes remaining, Zoko struck again to deliver a point. With York City losing against Bristol Rovers, that was good enough to allow the Glovers to leapfrog them on goal difference, to give a bright finish to the day.
The Glovers went into the match making two changes to their starting line-up, along with a formation change, in what was Darren Way's first game in charge for a Football League match. Nathan Smith lost his place in the side for the first time this season, as Ryan Dickson took over at left-back, whilst Ben Tozer dropped out of midfield to allow an extra forward on the pitch, with Shaun Jeffers getting the nod, as Way reverted to a 4-4-2. On the bench, Iffy Allen and Christian Maghoma were included - with George Thomas having returned to Coventry, this left Mark Beck as the only fully fit player left out of the first team squad, with Jack Compton and Marc Laird both still being put through rehab work.
The first half was a relatively even one, in terms of chances for both sides, and with both clubs forcing a succession of corners from shots that were deflected. Aaron McLean's attempt was blocked by a defender, whilst Josh Sheehan's shot at the other end saw the ball ahead out for a corner. Barnet had the best of the early chances though, as a John Akinde header went straight into the path of McLean, whose shot was good enough to beat Chris Weale, but Connor Roberts did brilliantly to stop the ball going over the line.
The strength of the Barnet front pairing should have given Yeovil enough warning signs of what to expect. However, Jakub Sokolik gave away a free kick on the edge of the box, and when
Aaron McLean
stepped up, his free kick was curled over the defensive wall, with Chris Weale's hand not quite enough to keep the ball out of the net. 0-1 down, and even with 72 minutes of play still remaining, the Bees seemed to slow play down a notch from that moment onwards - no surprise given they had lost eight of their ten previous away fixtures leading up to this game.
Shaun Jeffers produced a run and shot on target from a narrow angle on the half hour mark that visiting keeper Ian Lawlor saved relatively comfortably. Yeovil's problem was that whilst their approach play was good, they were struggling to create cast iron chances, with Barnet soaking up a lot of play at the eighteen yard line. From one such bit of pressure, they even managed to extend their lead, just as the play switched into three minutes of time added on. A long ball up field by Luke Gambin from deep inside his own half, was well judged for both Barnet forwards to run onto, as Yeovil's defence played for an offside flag that never came.
Aaron McLean
was the first to get on the chase, and although John Akinde was in support, McLean confidently slotted past the advancing Chris Weale for a 0-2 scoreline - with loud boos ringing out as the half time whistle blew.
Yeovil controlled the majority of the second period, even if for long stretches of that 45 minutes, they looked as though they weren't going to get anything out of it. Half chances for Connor Roberts, Shaun Jeffers and Harry Cornick really weren't hitting the target, with any great intent, even if the fact that they were getting plenty of the ball in the final third at their favoured home end of the ground was helping them build up a head of steam. It wasn't really until both sides made substitutions that the balance of the game began to significantly swing Yeovil's way - double scorer Aaron McLean was withdrawn, whilst for the green'n'whites, Iffy Allen and Ryan Bird were introduced as attacking options.
With ten minutes to go, Yeovil finally got a killer ball into the box. Connor Roberts flighted a cross, and coming in at the near post was
Francois Zoko
, whose glancing header was perfect to change the direction of the ball and put it into the back of the net. Suddenly the crowd noise turned up a notch, and Barnet seemed to get sucked into their own half - a point magnified when they withdrew striker John Akinde for defender Michael Nelson in an obvious attempt to see the game out during the closing stages.
The Bees couldn't do it - with four minutes remaining, the ball was recycled to the edge of the box, following an attacking move, and it found
Francois Zoko
with his back to goal. He made room for himself turn and fire off a left-footed shot from just outside the area, that was hit superbly into the back of the net for a 2-2 scoreline and to produce the biggest roar of the day at Huish Park. With Barnet now looking out on their feet, Yeovil could have even snatched an improbable winner, with substitute Iffy Allen's late chance saved by the Barnet keeper. They probably wouldn't have wanted just a single point out of this winnable home match at the start of the game, but when there were eleven minutes on the clock, they probably would have gladly accepted it - with York surrendering a goal lead to lose at Bristol Rovers, and Dagenham and Redbridge also losing at Crawley, the end result didn't look quite as bad as it might have been, lifting Yeovil off the foot of the table, and giving them a point advantage over their two main rivals.

The Tour is designed for active travellers looking for a holiday with a difference. On this tour, we endeavour to show you New Zealand's beautiful wilderness, bring you in contact with its unspoilt natural environments, follow the footsteps of the hobbits and visit some of the over 150 locations throughout New Zealand where Peter Jackson filmed his famous movies in some of the most stunningly beautiful areas.
You will go on bush walks at different locations (e.g. in evergreen rainforests), and examine and explore huge waterfalls, the wild coastal shore of the Tasman Sea, limestone formations, alpine flora, lagoons, geysers, volcanoes and dry tussock grasslands.
If you are lucky you will meet unique birds like the kea, a cheeky mountain parrot and NZ fur seals
Tour Guides
Our guides have an extensive knowledge of New Zealand's natural history and strive to pass this information on to travellers by way of commentary and answering questions. They have vast knowledge of the areas visited and hence can choose the best option in a given situation. Their knowledge of the outdoors and weather ensures that visitors have a safe and enjoyable trip. Our guides are very much people-orientated – they enjoy meeting and getting to know visitors, and are able to make everyone feel part of the group.
Day 1 Auckland arrival day – Arrival Day
Welcome to New Zealand! Auckland, with
it's many suburbs, has about 1,5 million inhabitants and is the largest city in
the country. More than 60 extinct volcanic cones and craters characterise the
landscape, whilst an endless procession of sails in the harbour is typical of
the relaxed pace of life here. Today, you will see this city from
multiple viewpoints. With pick-ups from
all central hotels, we provide a city tour for everybody who has booked
pre-tour accommodation. We drive along the waterfront to see the exclusive
residential areas. You get to know the historical district of Parnell with the
beautifully restored colonial homes. Mount Eden, one of the 63 extinct volcanoes,
offers a magnificent view of the city. This will be followed by a briefing of
the tour from the guide. The evening is at your leisure.
After breakfast at the
hotel, we leave Auckland and make our way through the "King Country"
(named after the Maori Queen and King movement), where we will start
discovering some film locations. We will visit to the movie set of Hobbiton on
a farm near Matamata on a guided tour. Our journey then continues to Rotorua,
the North Island's most famous destination for overseas visitors and an
important cultural centre. At Te Puia you will be seeing some of the stunning
natural features of Rotorua, which include geysers, steaming lakes and streams,
bubbling mud pools, multicoloured silica terraces and hot mineral pools known
for their curative properties. The area is also rich in Maori culture and we
offer an opportunity to encounter this culture with an evening tour where you
can try traditional Maori food which is prepared in a hangi (earth-oven).
Day 3 Rotorua - Tongariro National Park - Ohakune
(B) (230 kms) (4 hrs)
An early departure today sees us travelling through
an important forestry area to reach the picturesque, fast-flowing Huka Falls.
Lake Taupo, the largest lake in New Zealand, is of volcanic origin, caused by
an enormous eruption almost 2000 years ago. State Highway 1 runs along the
lake's edge and then takes us into the heart of the Tongariro National Park
where parts of Lord of the Rings films were filmed; here we will go for some
short walks. This oldest of the New Zealand National Parks consists of a grand
volcanic mountain landscape that is marked by the three partially active
volcanoes, rising to an altitude up to 2800 meters. Scenes of Mordor from the
Lord of the Rings trilogy were also shot here, and part of the Mangawhero River
was a location for Ithilien.
Day 4 Ohakune - Wellington (B) (351 kms) (6 hrs)
Leaving behind the volcanic landscape of the Tongariro National Park we
head towards Wellington through green pastures and farm districts, discovering
the variations of the New Zealand "hinterland" before we arrive in
the Greater Wellington Region. On the way we will visit another film location, one that takes us for a
walk into Kaitoke Regional Park, which was used for scenes at the Elven outpost
of Rivendell. New Zealand's capital lies partially on reclaimed land at the harbour
and the steep hillsides adjacent to the Cook Strait. Wellington has been the
capital city since 1865 and is also the country's political centre. We will
visit the Embassy Theatre where the World Premiere of "Return of the
King" was celebrated and have a drink at the bar.
Day 5 Wellington - Weta Cave Studio and Mt Victoria (B) (30 kms) (1 hrs)
After breakfast we visit the
Weta Cave in Miramar. The Weta Cave screens a first-ever behind-the-scenes look
at Weta and interviews with the Weta co-founders. It gives an exclusive insight
into the ingenuity that goes into crafting the art of Weta, and the creative
talent that shows through in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit
movies, as well as Weta's other projects. Afterwards, we undertake a city sightseeing tour and drive to Mount
Victoria where you can enjoy a beautiful view over the city. Parts of Mount
Victoria served as the outskirts of the Shire in The Fellowship of the Ring.
The rest of the day is at your own leisure. We recommend visiting Te Papa Tongarewa,
the National Museum and enjoying the panoramic views over the city from the top
of the cable car, which runs from Lambton Quay. Wellington also offers a large
cultural choice of museums and art galleries, and is renowned for its
flourishing café scene.
Day 6 Wellington - Picton - Nelson (B) (193 kms) (3¼
Early in the morning we board the ferry, which takes us across the Cook
Strait, leaving the North Island behind. Entering the South Island through the
beautifully carved fiords of the Marlborough Sounds, we arrive in the small
harbour town of Picton. Here we have a choice: we can drive along the water's edge on a scenic
route and take a walk at the Pelorus River, which is a featured film location,
OR we can drive to Blenheim and through the Wairau valley to do some wine
tasting. In the late afternoon we reach Nelson, New Zealand's sunniest city.
Day 7 Nelson (B)
Today is a day of leisure and we recommend one of two options to
discover the area. The first option is to take a trip to Abel Tasman National
Park and board a cruise boat or a sailing trip, which will take you along
golden bays and beaches. The Park contains a protected stretch of coastline
with its islands, beaches, bush and high country filled with diverse plant and
animal species. The Abel Tasman Walk is the most popular walking trek in New
Zealand. You can choose a suitable walk through dense rainforest and can swim
in the clear, calm water. The second option is a spectacular helicopter flight
to see some of the film locations from the Lord of the Rings in the Golden Bay
area: South of Rivendell and the Dimrill Dale. These tours are at additional
cost. If neither of these options appeal, you could instead visit the Kiwi
jeweller Jens Hansen where you have the opportunity to buy a replica of
"the One Ring" as a souvenir for this journey (optional).
Day 8 Nelson - Punakaiki - Greymonth - Hokitika (B)
(350 kms) (6 hrs)
Today we take the road via Murchison towards the West Coast where we
drive along the scenic route. After we visit the dramatic Pancake Rocks of
Punakaiki, we will do a tasting of original West Coast beer at the Monteith's
brewery in Greymouth and continue on to the jade capital of Hokitika.
Day 9 Hokitika - Ross - Franz Josef - Fox Glacier (B) (175 kms) (2½ hrs)
After a stroll through Hokitika to explore the Jade Factory and/or other Jade shops, we travel south along the narrow strip of land bordered by the Tasman Sea on one side and the snow-clad Southern Alps on the other. We continue southwards along the breathtaking West Coast, passing through luxuriant forest before we arrive in Franz Josef. We go for a short walk to the viewing platform to have a look at the Glacier tongue and to point out Ered Nimrais (The White Mountains) near Mount Gunn, the location used in The Return of the King for the lighting of the beacons from Gondor to Rohan (43° 25.720'S 170° 10.105'E). We continue our journey to Fox Glacier where we stay the night and time permitting, take a leisurely stroll around Lake Matheson, a photographer's dream with its magnificent forest and mountain reflections. An optional scenic flight will give you unforgettable views of the glacier tongue and the highest peaks of the Southern Alps.
Day 10 Fox Glacier - Wanaka - Crown Range -
Arrowtown - Queenstown (B) (340 kms) (5¾ hrs)
Today we continue down the spectacular West Coast. The route climbs
over the Southern Alps via the Haast Pass before we reach Mount Aspiring
National Park. This area offers us breathtaking views of the surrounding snowy
peaks and the glacial lakes Hawea and Wanaka. On a clear day we can stop to
take photographs of the "Misty Mountains" of the Lord of the Rings
Trilogy. We continue our journey over the Crown Range, where we stop for a
drink at the famous old Cardrona Hotel and Restaurant, before we arrive in
historic Arrowtown. Scenes from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy were shot on the peaceful
Arrow River. A stroll through the town centre puts you into another area of
time. We end our journey today in the world's adventure capital, Queenstown.
Day 11
Queenstown - Glenorchy / Dart River jet boating - Queenstown (B) (95
kms) (1½ hrs)
The alpine resort of
Queenstown is exciting and enormously attractive. It's also a destination for
luxury experiences – gourmet food & wine, spa treatments and leisurely
games of golf. Take your time to explore the town: try the Skyline gondola
ride, the steepest lift in the Southern Hemisphere with its spectacular
220-degree panorama, relive a bit of history on a cruise on Queenstown's iconic
vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw or you can experience Bungy jumping, white water
rafting, tandem paragliding, jet boating, skydiving and a host of other similar
activities. (all tours are optional). This afternoon we will experience a
Hobbit-themed excursion to Paradise, with a thrilling Jet boat ride in one of
the world's finest landscapes along the Dart River. You visit Isengard, the
road to Mordor, the Fangorn forest and see the cliff that Aragorn fell off of
in The Two Towers. You will be back in time to explore the variety of
Queenstown's restaurants and nightlife at your leisure.
Day 12 Queenstown - Milford Sound - Queenstown (B, L) (573 kms) (9½ hrs)
