Our primary mission is to provide emergency fire and medical services, but we also want to be a resource for the whole community. Please browse these pages to see the non-emergency services we have to offer, and contact us if you have any suggestions for a class or event you would like to see in Trophy Club.
Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even when blood pressure readings are dangerously high. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to damage to the blood vessels in your kidneys and eyes, metabolic syndrome, trouble with memory and understanding, even stroke, aneurysm, heart attack and heart failure.
If you haven't had your blood pressure screened recently, we encourage you to stop by the fire station and let us check it for you.
The Trophy Club Fire Department encourages you to call or stop by the fire station to make an appointment to evaluate your current car seat(s) or assist you with installing a new one. Please call 682.237.2947 and ask for the Certified Car Seat Technician on duty.
As parents and Firefighter/Paramedics, child safety is one of our biggest concerns, and one of the highest priorities is to ensure that children are riding safely in a vehicle. Most parents rely on common sense when installing child car seats and assume the child is safe, but they may be putting the child at risk every time they ride in the vehicle.
Two of our Firefighter/Paramedics attended a Child Passenger Safety class to obtain a certification which allows them to correctly install a child car seat. The one week class consisted of both classroom education and hands-on practical training for installing all different types of child seats. The course was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the certifying body is Safe Kids Worldwide. Certified Car Seat Technicians must complete Continuing Education and recertify every two years.
One of the most critical things learned in the class was that 4 out of 5 car seats are installed incorrectly. It is our objective to ensure that all children in our community are riding safely. By using a combination of information from the car seat owner's manual, the vehicle owner's manual and our training, we can accurately install car seats for children of all ages.
Trophy Club Fire Department hosts a Citizens Fire Academy (CFA) when we have a minimum number of candidates. If interested, graduates of this class are eligible to participate in the TCEVA (Trophy Club Emergency Volunteer Association), a group that supports the Fire and Police Departments, but there is no obligation or pressure to join. Potential candidates for the Citizens Fire Academy must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum age of 18
- Live or work in the Trophy Club area
- No prior felony arrest
- No history of Class B or greater misdemeanor
Overview of the Citizens Fire Academy
Designed for adults to learn about how the fire department is organized and operates, the Citizens Fire Academy is open to persons who meet the minimum requirements. The CFA will meet one night a week. Actual instruction will last for ten weeks with a graduation being held in week eleven. Additional practical exercises may be available, depending on group interest and availability.
Each night, CFA participants learn about different aspects of the fire department, ranging from emergency medical services to special rescue operations. This is not a certification course.
Course Dates and Times: Dates TBD
Class Day and Times: Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m (classes last between one and three hours, depending on the topic)
Location: Fire Department Training Room

In 1999, Texas became the first state to pass a safe haven law for infants. Also known as the Baby Moses law, this law provides a responsible alternative to parents who might otherwise harm or abandon a newborn child in an unsafe place. You can find this law in the Texas Family Code, Chapter 262, Subchapter D. Emergency Possession of Certain Abandoned Children.
If I want to leave my baby at a Safe Baby Site, what should I do?
Go to a hospital or fire station and give your baby to a person who works there. Please remember, it is very important that you do not leave the baby at the door or in the parking lot.
The Trophy Club Fire Station is located at 295 Trophy Club Drive and we are staffed with Firefighter/Paramedics 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If we are not there we are probably out on an emergency call; please wait for us and we should return shortly. If you want more information please call us at 682.237.2947.
How does the Safe Baby Site work?
A parent who is unwilling or unable to care for their baby can bring the child to a fire station or hospital and leave the baby with someone who works there. As long as the infant is less than 60 days old and has not been harmed, the parent will not be charged with abandonment.
The workers at the Safe Baby Site will care for the baby and arrange for medical evaluation and treatment, if necessary. The Department of Family Protective Services will be contacted to take custody of the baby, but they will not attempt to identify or locate the parent.
What information will I have to give?
The people working at the Safe Baby Site will not ask questions to try to learn your identity. If you are willing though, they will record any information you can share about the baby's date and place of birth, health, race, or medical history of the parents. This information could be very important in caring for the child in the future.
We would be happy to show you around the fire station and explain how the equipment works. Please call us at 682.237.2947 to arrange a tour for your family or small group. Please understand that all non-emergency services are subject to change due to emergency calls.
The Vial of Life is a program designed to provide important information about you when you are unable to speak for yourself in a medical emergency. It is free for all participants.
How Does the Program Work?
Participants fill out a simple questionnaire about their medical history, which is then placed on the refrigerator door. A Vial of Life decal is placed on their door to alert Emergency Responders. The questionnaire can be completed online or you can contact us for forms and decals. Call 682-831-4630 for more information.

Geno Smith is Sam Bradford
Geno Smith resembles Sam Bradford; more player comparisons
The 2013 NFL Scouting Combine is on the horizon, which means evaluators are working around the clock to finish up detailed scouting reports on NFL hopefuls. These documents not only describe a prospect's background, character and playing ability, but they also include comparisons to thriving pros, painting a vivid picture of a player's game and potential in the minds of general managers and coaches.
As a young scout with the Seattle Seahawks, I was encouraged by future general managers John Schneider, Scot McCloughan and Ted Thompson to monitor the progress of players across the NFL, and use them as a reference point when projecting the potential of prospects. By obtaining a better understanding of how players succeed in the NFL, despite perceived flaws and/or unorthodox games, I gained a better feel for how future pros could thrive in the NFL with similar skill sets.
Here are the 10 notable comparisons that came to mind while I watched fall tape. Feel free to hit me back with your feedback on Twitter @BuckyBrooks.
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
NFL comparison: Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams
Smith has been described as a "ho-hum" quarterback prospect in some circles, but I see a polished pocket passer with outstanding arm talent and passing skills. Smith displays the capacity to throw the ball accurately to every area of the field with zip, velocity and touch. Additionally, he flashes anticipation and awareness by leading receivers into open areas against tight coverage. Although a lot has been made of Smith's late-season struggles -- he tossed six interceptions over Mountaineers' final seven games after throwing 25 touchdown passes with zero picks in the team's first six games -- the fact that he finished the season with a 42:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio behind a leaky offensive line suggests that the reports of his questionable pocket presence and progression awareness are greatly exaggerated. Now, I'm not suggesting Smith doesn't have flaws that should rate as concerns for prospective teams, but I don't believe his deficiencies are significant enough to keep him from being a productive starter in the NFL.
Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
NFL comparison: LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles
Bernard surprised some evaluators when he elected to enter the 2013 NFL Draft after a brief (but productive) career at North Carolina. However, I believe Bernard is not only ready for the next level, but he has a game that is ideally suited for the NFL. He is the classic three-down back with the capacity to impact the game as a runner or receiver. He is a slippery, between-the-tackles runner with exceptional vision and stop-start quickness. Although his game is built on quickness rather than speed, Bernard shows the ability to generate home-run plays with the ball in his hands. In the passing game, Bernard is a natural receiver with outstanding hands and receiving skills. Quarterbacks will love to target Bernard on third-and-medium situations on option routes, as he overwhelms linebackers with his quickness and burst in space. Factor in his explosiveness as a returner (see: Bernard's walk-off punt-return TD against N.C. State), and it is hard to find holes in his game, despite diminutive stature.
Robert Woods, WR, USC
NFL comparison: Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
Mayock's prospect rankings
NFL Network draft expertMike Mayock has unveiled his initial position-by-position rankings of the2013 NFL Draft prospects. See which players made the cut. More ...
Woods seemingly became an afterthought in the USC offense after Marqise Lee's emergence as one of the top playmakers in college football. But astute NFL scouts see Woods as a polished receiver with all of the traits to be an effective starter as a pro. He is a gifted pass catcher with exceptional hands and ball skills. Woods snatches the ball out of the air cleanly, rarely flinching while making catches with defenders in close proximity. Additionally, Woods is a deft route runner with an innate feel for setting up defenders with various stems and tempos. He understands how to get open against any coverage -- this quality will make him a favorite of play callers and quarterbacks across the NFL. While some scouts will question Woods' top-end speed, I believe his polished game will eventually make him a Pro Bowler.
Mike Glennon, QB, N.C. State
NFL comparison: Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
Glennon is one of the most hotly debated prospects in the 2013 class. Some scouts love his size and A-plus arm talent, while others are concerned with his limited mobility and decision-making under duress. When I watch Glennon on tape, I'm impressed with his pure passing ability. He spins the ball with tremendous zip and velocity, and shows the capacity to put the ball in the strike zone against tight coverage. Additionally, Glennon is a terrific deep-ball passer adept at dropping the ball down the chute on vertical throws. Now, I'm certainly troubled by his penchant for turning the ball over while under duress (Glennon tossed 17 interceptions in 2013, with three separate games featuring three-plus picks), as well as his limited athleticism. But I think he has the potential to thrive in an offense that prominently features the deep ball. With NFL offensive coordinators willing to adapt their respective systems to the fit the talents of the quarterback, Glennon could enjoy a productive career as a classic drop-back passer.
Le'Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State
NFL comparison: Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
Norris: Top 12 RB prospects
Josh Norris ranks the top 12 running back prospects in the 2013 NFL Draft, providing a round projection for each player.More ...
Bell is one of the few big backs available in this draft, but he displays a game that is typically associated with scat backs in the NFL. He is a powerful runner between the tackles, but is also effective running off tackle or on the edges. Bell shows deceptive speed in getting to the perimeter, while also displaying better-than-anticipated wiggle and elusiveness in space. He is a rare runner with the ability to run over or around defenders, and NFL coaches will love building game plans around a back capable of handling 20 to 25 carries a game. Additionally, Bell is an impressive receiver out of the backfield with strong hands and ball skills. Although his size restricts some of his effectiveness as a route runner in space, Bell is an effective playmaker in the aerial attack with the potential to impact the game as a three-down player.
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
NFL comparison: Charles Woodson, Free agent
Vaccaro is the kind of hybrid safety NFL defensive coaches covet. The Texas standout is not only an outstanding hitter and playmaker against the run, but he is a terrific cover man with outstanding man-to-man skills, to boot. He can match up with tight ends and slot receivers in space, while also excelling as a deep-middle player in zone. Most importantly, Vaccaro displays the versatility to align anywhere in the back end, which makes him a valuable commodity as a playmaking safety in the middle of a sub-package. With the NFL quickly shifting to a league governed by the pass, Vaccaro is the prototypical safety needed to diffuse explosive offensive attacks.
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
NFL comparison: Percy Harvin, Minnesota Vikings
Austin is a unique playmaker at the receiver position. Checking in at 5-foot-9 and 174 pounds, Austin lacks the ideal size to be the primary option in the passing game, but displays a combination of speed, quickness and explosiveness that makes him a dangerous weapon in space. The Mountaineers capitalized on his skills by frequently getting him touches on bubble screens and quick routes on the perimeter. Additionally, Austin showed the ability to carry the ball as a running back (72 rushing attempts for 643 yards in 2012, including a remarkable 344-yard effort against Oklahoma), enhancing his value as a potential difference maker on Sundays. Given the fact that playmakers arealways valued at a premium in the NFL, Austin is an intriguing prospect for several teams.
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
NFL comparison: Jared Allen, Minnesota Vikings
Werner only has five years of organized-football experience, but he quickly developed into one of the most dominant players in college football. The former German exchange student is a high-motor pass rusher with exceptional first-step quickness and burst. He overwhelms blockers with his initial quickness, but also shows the capacity to turn speed into power. As a result, Werner routinely made plays off the edge (13 sacks in 2012), emerging as a true difference maker against the pass. As a run defender, Werner is a stout player at the point of attack, showing the strength, power and toughness to set the edge. Although Werner still needs to add some polish to his rugged game, he will enjoy success as a pro due to his persistence and relentlessness.
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
NFL comparison: Joe Staley, San Francisco 49ers
Jeremiah: Five buzzworthy prospects
Daniel Jeremiah identifies five prospects creating a buzz as potential second- or third-day steals in the 2013 NFL Draft. More ...
Fisher is the most athletic offensive tackle in the draft. He displays exceptional agility and lateral quickness in matchups against finesse rushers, yet also shows the balance and body control to contain power players off the edge. Additionally, Fisher showcases the requisite nastiness to be an effective blocker in the run game. Given Fisher's unique combination of skills and size (6-8, 305), it is easy to see why scouts are buzzing about his potential as a standout left tackle at the next level.
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
NFL comparison: Henry Melton, Chicago Bears
It is uncommon for a defensive tackle to rank as one of the leading tacklers on a productive defense, but that was the case with Richardson at Missouri. He dominates the game with his quickness, athleticism and motor; NFL coaches will love his ability to make plays all over the field against the run or pass. As a pass rusher, Richardson blows past blockers with an explosive first-step and shows a knack for getting skinny in cracks to get to the quarterback. Additionally, Richardson displays excellent hand skills by masterfully winning hand-to-hand combat exchanges in tight quarters. Although Richardson can be engulfed by big bodies in the run game, he continues to produce with his quickness and burst. Most importantly, Richardson hustles and chases all over the field, demonstrating his will to win.

I'm just ecstatic that someone could compare Geno to a white QB. Now we all persevere until the day when a white WR is not compared with Wes Welker.

Personally, I think Rivers is done. Romo and Cutler on their current teams make it difficult for them to reach a SB IMO but they could definitely do it as far as their individual talents go.

Ok so let's look deeper into the Bradford comparison.
Bradfords predraft cons:
1. Spread/shotgun QB.
2. Played on an exceptional team, behind a brick wall line. He faced very little adversity or pass rush in college.
3. What else? I remember those 2 as the main issues. He was pretty thin iirc.
Bradfords NFL shortcomings:
1. Plays poorly under QB pressure. Kind of goes back to #2 above. As good as his OU line was, his STL line has been bad. He's still learning to make plays under pursuit.
2.Durability? As others have said, he seems to always have something wrong with him.
3. What else?
Overall it seems that some of the pre draft concerns have been justified. It's also clear that he's played behind a bad line with limited weapons to throw to. If I'm a Rams fan, I would have expected better but certainly wouldn't be ready to flush.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.

Then how do Geno's cons compare?
1. His current system is also a spread. I know he played in a pro style, but don't pretend to know how his footwork looked in his dropbacks. Thats the biggest issue with spread QBs imo, footwork is 3, 5, and 7 step drops.
2. Geno has faced more adversity. Every game he played this year was on his shoulders due to poor defense. His "bad" games came against his toughest opponents, but how bad was he in those games?
3. Size? He's a little small, would like to see him thickened up, but he's been durable.
I don't think Geno joining the Chiefs would be as rough as Bradords introduction to the league. He'll have a better line, and better weapons (assuming Bowe and Albert return).
Geno's resume doesn't match Bradford's, but he didn't have the luxury of playing on the 2009 Sooners either.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.

Dear lord...did you just say Geno faced more adversity? Geno was barely on the map last year.
Bradford spent an entire sophomore season contending for a national title, winning the Big 12, then losing in the national championship. And then he got injured and missed almost an entire year.
Unless your definition of adversity only includes the quality of their own team. Which would be stupid.

I'm certain it was an issue in pre draft evaluations. He played on a big stage, but he was surrounded by stellar college talent.

Bradford had six NFL starters on his offense alone, with several other NFL players as backup depth or NFL backups as starters.
He might have played on the most talented college offense of the last decade.
You could plug almost anyone into that system and they would put up ungodly numbers.

When you hear the word "relationship," what do you think of? Do you think of your boyfriend or girlfriend? Your best friend? Your siblings?

But despite all the different types of relationships, there is one thing you can have in common in all of them, and that's how you treat the other person, namely with selflessness.
No matter what relationship you may be thinking about right now, here are 4 simple but big ways that you can invest in someone's life and show you care about them.

Valentine's Day might be over, but some of those romantic gestures performed on this sacred day of love will last until next year's February 14 rolls around. Just ask Catelynn Lowell. Her fiance Tyler Baltierra whipped up a culinary festival of delights for his Valentine. A guy this sweet and he can cook too?! Sign me up. I'll have what she's having. Innuendo, etcetera. Catelynn was keen to share Tyler's Valentine's Day treats with her followers on Instagram, and we were keen to paw at our screen in envy.
Just look at the romantic spread Tyler put together for his lady love?! How cute and delicious-looking is that? Pretty cute and delicious-looking, for sure. I don't know about you, but I'm majorly impressed. He definitely knows what he's doing! Martha Stewart, look out and get your prison shiv ready -- Tyler's comin' for you, culinarily speaking.
The steak, the pretty plates, the bottle of white wine, the mood lighting -- this guy knows how to do Valentine's Day right. It's these simple gestures of caring that keep their love alive. Nothing says, "You matter to me a great deal" more than a steak -- #beefbiasedandnotashamed.
What's the sweetest thing someone's ever done for you to show they cared?

Chemical Resistance – When It's Important for Geomembranes
One of the most important properties to consider when choosing geomembranes for your next project is chemical resistance. While some applications may not be concerned with this specific property, the energy sector specifically must take chemical resistance into consideration. When it comes to the containment of chemicals, it's important to...Read More

Talk:Tag:amenity=parking entrance
entering by foot
How do I tag entrances to the parking garage that you use to enter the parking and get your car. Erik Johansson 13:58, 4 October 2011 (BST)
- you use parking_entrance for all entrances. the connected highway defines, who the target group is. for example, if the node with parking entrance connects to a highway=service, service=parking_aisle, it can be assumed that it is an entrance for cars, if the connected way is tagged with highway=footway it is for people by foot. --Flaimo 18:32, 4 October 2011 (BST)
Layer versus Level
Current text says in the Usage section:
While underground or multi-storey parking facilities could be mapped using amenity=parking_space in combination with a layer tag, [...]. However I believe the key level=* is probably the correct one in this case, instead of layer=*. --Jgpacker (talk) 19:47, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Because a python handbag is made of an exotic skin, you must take special care with its cleaning. It cannot be treated with the same products as traditional leathers. Over time, the scales on python skin will dry out and curl up off the bag, a problem exacerbated by improper care. Python bags are considered a luxury accessory, so they're generally much more costly than bags made of traditional leather. With gentle and infrequent cleaning, you will be able to maintain a python snakeskin bag in good condition for many years.
Step 1
Empty the interior of the bag so it can be laid flat.
Step 2
Dampen a clean T-shirt with warm water and wipe any surface dirt off the bag, smoothing in the direction of the scales so they are not lifted up. Pat the bag dry with a towel -- excess wetness can cause the skin to darken.
Step 3
For any areas that must be cleaned under the scales, dampen a cotton swab and gently clean under each individual scale, being careful not to lift it more than necessary.
Step 4
Allow the bag to fully dry in a cool, dark place. Don't attempt to speed drying with heat because it will dry out the scales and cause them to lift faster.
Step 5
Apply an exotic skin conditioner, again smoothing it on in the direction of the scales.

How often, growing up, did Mom remind me "beauty comes from the inside," and I would just roll my eyes because she really didn't understand. Easy for her to say, because she had been born beautiful on the outside, and given (who decides that stuff, anyway?) a fantastic personality that could boost her right up over the top of things. Those advantages stood her good her whole life.
Then, somewhere during that teenage gangly stage, when I was convinced the deepest mysteries of life were beauty secrets, I heard something really crazy about Marilyn Monroe. She said her "magnetism" came from inside her, and she didn't need to wear make-up, or be dressed to kill just to turn it on. She could turn it on and off at will. She was even known to enjoy demonstrating this out in public, occasionally, before she got to the studio where they would fix her up for the set. She could literally stop people in the streets, but it didn't impress me. What -- are you kidding? It wasn't like Marilyn Monroe wasn't born with a few jump-starts, either.
All that was the same sort of stuff rich people tell you when they say, "Money doesn't bring you happiness." But to that I could only quote what James Stewart said in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, after he had just tried to kill himself… "Well, it comes in pretty handy down here, bub!" Back then, it seemed to me that people who were -- shall I say -- blessed with certain advantages (we have-nots would have given our souls for, and often did), hardly even valued them. However, I began to notice they could be just as obsessed as we were over other things they didn't have. Hmmm…
Not long after that, I ran into a cosmic life change. An infusion of energy so strong it poured through all by itself, sparking anyone I looked at or touched along the way. What's more, this stuff was like radio-activity, because it has been years and years since that happened, and it has not lost its power to this day. Is it beautiful? Yes. Magnetic? Like you wouldn't believe. Has it changed me? You bet. I am now convinced that my mother and Marilyn were absolutely right.
Whatever you have on the inside, shines out.
What's happening on the farm today… No let-up on the heat (107 in the shade by 10am this morning), and now wildfires. The last one was only 10 miles away, and we could smell the smoke. What would I take if we had to leave in a hurry? What should I take? Last time during a tornado scare, I tried to stash the family heirloom coffee set, that belonged to Ulysses S. Grant, into a suitcase and busted one of the legs off the sugar bowl. Fixed it with super glue (not taking it on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, anyway) and definitely not telling my mother. So, now I don't do that, anymore. One file of important papers and our passports, and we're out of here. Still, I don't know how many times I woke up last night having to step out onto the porch and try to judge by the smell how much closer it was. But -- hey -- it's out, now, and all's well. Glory!

veterinary medicine
veterinary medicine, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of animals. An early interest in animal diseases is found in ancient Greek writings on medicine. Veterinary medicine began to achieve the stature of a science with the organization of the first school in the field in Lyons, France, in 1761, followed soon by similar schools in other parts of Europe. In the United States, veterinary schools came into existence about the time of the Civil War, and there are now a number of accredited schools of veterinary medicine affiliated with colleges and universities. In 1884 the Bureau of Animal Industry was established in the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to deal with animal disease problems in the fast-growing livestock industry. Veterinary research has made important contributions to medical science in general. Vaccination methods devised by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch for animals were found effective for humans also. Veterinarians inaugurated the inspection of meat and milk to prevent the spread of tuberculosis. The development since World War II of live-virus and modified live-virus vaccines and of antibiotics, sulfonamides, and other biological products has brought about a marked change in veterinary medicine. An important innovation was the mass immunization of poultry through sprays, dusts, and agents added to drinking water. Many animal diseases hitherto considered incurable can now be prevented or controlled by these new therapeutic agents, and this in turn has greatly increased the output of livestock and poultry products.

Mondays, aka, the seventh best day of the week -- starting today, Eight24.com's Scott McDonald will clear the smoke and make sense of your musical news of the week. Music MonDaze is here to help.
- New album releases from Tinariwen, Band of Horses, Eric Church, Ledisi, and Sun Kil Moon drop Tuesday. Deftones frontman Chino Moreno will bring his dark-pop side-project, Crosses, to the Griffin on Saturday Night. Their self-titled debut is released Tuesday as well.
- The Hallmark holiday is upon us this Friday, and Cibo Matto will be releasing their aptly titled Hotel Valentine to celebrate. It's the first album for the NY-based Japanese duo in 15 years, and they'll be playing cuts from it at their sold-out Casbah stop on Feb. 22.
- Procrastinators are also too late for Los Lobos' sold-out 40th anniversary show at the Belly Up on Thursday. If you're still searching for that last-minute romantic gesture, stellar old-timey trio the Devil Makes Three are at the House of Blues on Friday.
- Having parted ways with the Dead Oceans label, the local quartet the Donkeys have signed with Easy Sound Recording Company -- and new music is on the way. You can catch them at Soda Bar on March 7, and we'll keep you posted on the music.
- Fat Tuesday is only three weeks away, so if you're the Mardi Gras type, take note: Snoop Dogg (performing as Snoopadelic) will be DJing the main stage at San Diego's Gaslamp celebration on March 4. Beware of flying beads in the smoke clouds.
- Lastly, if you've done your burpees and squats, you're probably aware that the Hard Rock's Intervention Sundays were named Event or Party of the Year by Nightclub and Bar magazine. Although talent hasn't been announced for the 2014 series, they'll undoubtedly be trying to win the title for a second year when it begins in April.
Pick of the Week: Los Lobos on Thursday. It's sold out, so start being nice to your friends who already have tickets.
Blogger Scott McDonald covers music in San Diego for a few different publications and is the editor of Eight24.com

Nope. Not true
when you buy a phone you be given a choice. of stock os/ or with makers bloatware. like buying a car petrol or diesel. same car. different fuel. simples.
Members of the Rooting world already know that a dual boot is quite possible and has been done on several handsets, more recently the Galaxy S III.
I have no idea why HTC don't go ahead and suprise the world with the choice of a dual booting system for people with an unlocked bootloader, if it's coming from an official RUU created by HTC then it's fool proof (bar a few noobs) the risks are there and unlocking the bootloader will create a barrier for people who unlocked it and messed it up by trying something they have no clue about.
Things on the rooted side of the fence will catch up and the vast majority of us can already choose between AOSP and Sense, for me sense has been done really well this time, it's snappy and intuitive, just living with it for a week will show you that.
Good times for HTC.
Jamesmarlz, 01 Jun 2013What is the use of this AOSP ROM? I am an HTC One user. ThnxIt's gives you a raw version of the Android operating system. Essentially without all the phone manufacturers tweaks and added software. The same as a nexus would be. Faster and smoother
I do find the idea very excellent if it brings the ability to switch between sense and stock android, it would be a great idea if they lunch fast updates for the sense version , I mean within a month or less than that after the stock version is available. HTC is brilliant and I will not replace HTC one x with s4
Not a fan of htc,but whats good,is good.and if they put tje pure android,it will be even better and faster...
As much as I love stock android but whenever I try an AOSP ROM on my gs3,I have this feel that a lot of things are missing.

(By Dave Williams) Some people see everything as a sign. Others see nothing as a sign. We must avoid both extremes. But signs are important. What if there were no stop signs? Street signs? Caution signs? Speed limit signs? High-voltage signs? Signs serve to maintain order and prevent chaos on a day-to-day level. Prophetic signs are even more important. And they are popping up all over, pointing to the soon return of Jesus Christ.
You are either ready, or you're not. It's that simple. Signs are like "previews of coming attractions." They are not the main attraction, but they point to it. Signs provide small glimpses of what the main feature will be like. I began my studies in Bible prophecy in November 1971. By 1978 I understood and publicly taught that in the final hours of the last days, certain signs would become increasingly evident: CONTINUE

Ludum Dare 23 Jam winner Inside My Radio being developed for commercial release
July 17, 2014 9:00 AM | Lena LeRay
Seaven Studio, developer of Ethan Meteor Hunter, has partnered with TurboDindon to develop Ludum Dare 23 Jam winner Inside My Radio for commercial release with more content and polish. They don't have a release date set yet, but their current preview build is already groovy and fun to play.
Inside My Radio is a platformer that requires players to do perform all actions aside from moving left and right to the beat of the music in a quest to fix a broken boombox from the inside.Very little is shown of the game's narrative in the preview build that was sent to IndieGames, but what it does show is charming and joyful in a way that meshes well with gameplay integrated with the beat of the music. The player's actions besides regular movement are limited to jumping, wall jumping, and dashing, but good level design keeps those actions from getting stale.
The developers are promising multiple worlds, each with its own musical style. The preview build only shows off part of each of two worlds, Electro and Disco, but the two worlds feel very different. The Electro world is the starter world, with simple starting levels to let the player ease into the game before introducing trickier stuff, and all of its levels have a green scheme to them. The Disco world's music is funkier and its environments are both more pink and more glitzy. It also incorporates some simple puzzle elements that the Electro world doesn't have, such as bouncers that will only let the player through if the player activates the right jukeboxes so that the bouncer will be busy dancing.
In spite of those differences, however, the two worlds complement each other quite well in terms of both aesthetics and mechanics. In both modes the game includes a pulsing aura on the player character to show the beat for players who are unable to hear the music when playing, though of course the game is meant to be played with sound. Even with the sound turned up and headphones on, the visual pulsing makes it easier to tell when actions can be taken. Furthermore, every jump and dash adds sound that blends into the music. The audial and graphical differences go together with the differences in the types of platforming challenges presented to give each world its own flavor.
It will be interesting to see where the developers take the game. What other worlds have they come up with, and using which musical styles? If they can make all of the worlds as entertaining to play and look at as what they've shown us in this preview build, Inside My Radio is set to be a very fun game.
The game is headed to Windows PCs and consoles, and although there's no set release date or price, Inside My Radio has already been picked up as an official selection for The MIX at E3 2014 and Radius Festival 2014 and got an honorable mention from Develop Indie Showcase 2014. The original Ludum Dare entry is still available for download.

upcoming power line survey - volunteers needed!
RCAS will begin a new birding project this spring. We hope will appeal to members and non-members alike . Details will be provided at a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 17, 6:30 PM at the Union Church Parish house in Proctor. For newcomers, park in the back lot by driving past the main entrance and going left and down the hill. We will meet downstairs; there is a lower entrance just off the lot.
We have been asked to complete a bird species list by Audubon Vermont and Vermont Power (VELCO) for several power line areas. We expect this to involve surveying seven or eight power line routes in our area of Rutland County. It may involve more such as finding which species actually nest and where.
Experienced birders know that power lines are great places to find some of our favorite species. The Eastern Towhee shown here came from a power line, a place we find them consistently. It's also good for Blue-winged and Golden winged warblers and their hybrids. When it comes to finding birds we know there could be some exciting discoveries. That's why we are doing it.
The meeting is being held to explain the project, answer questions and sign up volunteers. The meeting will be conducted by Mark LaBarr and Margaret Fowle of Audubon Vermont. We also hope to have a VELCO representative present. Sue Wetmore, RCAS board member and birder extraordinaire, will lead the project in Rutland County.
This is a way to learn about birds, enjoy seeing birds and contribute to their preservation and protection. We hope to see you there.

The Chinese are "widely" agreed to be the first people to make paper for that use (and by widely, I mean the internet articles agree). According to this site, a Chinese official in 589 BC mentioned using paper to wipe; later, an Arab visitor in 851 AD also confirmed that the Chinese were using paper. Things didn't get fancy until 1391, when the royal family would have 2 by 3 feet perfumed sheets made for themselves to wipe.
I'm going to make an enormous leap forward in time to 1857, when a New Yorker named Joseph Gayetty marketed the first known toilet paper as "Gayetty's Medicated Paper."
It same in single sheets, was imbued with aloe, and every square was monogrammed with his name.
Toilet paper doesn't appear on a roll, though, until 1871, when a gentleman by the name of Seth Wheeler, of Albany, New York, filed for a patent for perforated paper on a roll.
But how do you market something which you basically just use to wipe yourself, then throw away? How do you market a product that relates to a vulgar, lowly bodily function that people really don't like talking about? (1925 was after most of the big city clean-ups and the sanitization of the Americans, so shitting was becoming serious shaming territory.) Arthur Scott came up with one of their best slogans: "Soft as old linen." He tied a product that is generally tied with shit to a luxurious product and comfort.
Fortunately for the Scotts, indoor plumbing and hygiene awareness was on the rise. Riding this wave, the Scotts began to market their product as a health-promoting product. By marketing it as such, it allowed them to advertise in magazines such as Good Housekeeping. By talking through a medical lens, a lot of topics that are taboo become acceptable.
|1930s advertisement
Their marketing worked; toilet paper was an official part of American life. During the Great Depression, Scott Paper did not have to lay off a single worker. Charmin is founded in 1928, when a female worker commented that the packaging was "charming." Charmin sought to appeal to women by making their packaging fashionable, with a woman's cameo.
Like a lot of history and a lot of our habits, much of our behavior has been influenced by a few clever men and good marketing campaigns.
Today, toilet paper is still commonly used in Europe and the US. Many of us are quite fond of it and struggle with trying to use other methods (myself included). However, toilet paper is responsible for 27,000 trees being cut down every day. Toilet paper, furthermore, can be quite taxing on sewage systems, frequently requiring more water to transport the waste. So next time you're somewhere and you have the chance to use a bidet or a lota, why don't you try it? Who knows, you might like it better.
Or maybe we should go back to the sponge on a stick?
More on washing later.

Cool Coffee Tables Ideas to Choose for Living Room
Every homeowner must choose cool coffee tables to be applied in the living room, entertainment room, or another room inside their home. A coffee table in cool design will become a furniture that is so much functional; as a focal point in the living room, to place some coffee or tea, or even to place kinds of things if the table comes with storage feature. That is why you should choose the best coffee table for your living room. Consider about some points that will make you choose the best and most suitable table based on your need, the interior design of the room, as well as the suitability with the other furniture.

Think about the design; whether it is suitable with the living room design entirely or not. Some ideas below may help you to choose a coffee table in the right design and function. It may be a great idea for you to choose a coffee table with storage or the one with perfect design.
Cool Wood Coffee Tables
Many options of cool coffee tables are made from wood. There are many kinds of wood that can be made as a coffee table, including a stump of old tree.

Coffee tables with storage are also a great choices for those who love providing hidden storage in every room of the home. It is effective to make the home is less clutter. You can arrange kinds of small storage under the coffee table to keep small things such as pens, magazines, newspaper, and other things.

Few parenting duties are more frustrating than trying to get a toddler to eat. Somewhere around age two, many young children suddenly decide to cut out all meats, vegetables and fruits from their diet and subsist on Minions yogurt and white bread. This makes meal preparation a breeze, but it doesn't do a whole lot to convince worried parents their toddler is getting a substantial amount of vitamins, minerals and protein in their diets.
The good news is that you're not alone — and experts have provided us with fantastic tips on how to get your toddler to eat just enough to stay healthy.
But first, let's define "picky."
More: Don't get burned! The best (and worst) sunscreens for kids
"With one in three children experiencing typical picky eating, and about one in 10 with more 'extreme' picky eating, it is critical for parents to understand how to help if there are challenges and, more importantly, how to not inadvertently make matters worse," says Dr. Katja Rowell, a feeding specialist and co-author with speech therapist Jenny McGlothlin, MS, SLP, of Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating: A Step-by-Step Guide for Overcoming Selective Eating, Food Aversion, and Feeding Disorders. "Typical picky eating is frustrating, usually starts around 15-18 months and lasts until around age 5. They often eat a variety until they just don't! They may refuse to eat a favorite food one day and ask for it again the next. You can't rationalize this issue away, convince them it's healthy or yummy. They may have a tantrum about what is served, may try to get their favorite, but are able to calm themselves down and often make do."
If you have what Rowell calls an "extreme picky eater," you're likely raising a little one who eats so little variety or amount that it can impact growth, nutrition or their social and emotional development. It can also be the source of a lot of power struggles or worry for parents.
"They may have a 90-minute meltdown over a food on the table, tend to be more anxious, also more commonly seen in boys, with sensory or other developmental delays or if there are or were medical challenges," Rowell says. "Basically, anything that makes it difficult or painful or uncomfortable for a child to get food into her mouth, chew, swallow or digest it, puts her at risk for eating challenges. Children with extreme picky eating have often struggled from the start with breast or bottle feeding, or had difficulty starting solids or transitioning off baby foods. They also tend to avoid entire food groups, while a typical picky eater often eats at least a few fruits and veggies and protein or meat sources."
More: How to tell if you're a crappy mom in one easy step
Before we dive into a few ways in which experts say you can encourage your toddler to eat the right foods, it's important to know that some toddlers simply don't need to eat very much, Rowell says. Around their first birthdays, they become a lot more interested in the world around them, and food takes a backseat to discovery.
"They might only eat a bite of banana and a few bites of graham cracker and play happily for a few hours, when they might have a bigger meal," Rowell says. "Many parents overestimate how much a toddler needs to eat at each meal, or how much protein (this is a common worry) they need. When parents worry about growth or intake, they may do things to try to GET children to eat more, and those tactics unfortunately often make kids eat less well and less amounts."
Instead of thinking of ways you can trick your toddler or force her to eat, Rowell says there are many ways we can support their appetites and good nutrition without turning it into a power struggle. Simple things you can start doing right away include offering balanced, sit-down meals and snacks every 2-3 hours (with only water in between) and not grazing on the go or allowing a child to fill up on milk or eat whenever he or she wants.
"If they enjoy fruit, serve it often — fruit has many of the same nutrients, including fiber and vitamins, as vegetables," Rowell says. "Cook veggies with sauces and flavor, maybe a touch of brown sugar and butter (studies show that sauces and brown sugar cut the bitterness of veggies and increase intake). Offer the foods over and over. Most parents give up on a food after three tries. Serve blueberries, for example, frozen, baked into muffins, in pancakes, freeze-dried if your child likes crunch, as jam, fresh, in smoothies."
More: If toddlers wrote self-help books, here's what they'd look like
Above all else, do not pressure a child to eat, which Rowell says can backfire big time.
"Understand that children eat small amounts, some meals and snacks, and more at other times," Rowell says. "Nutrition also tends to even out over a few days. Serve a veggie raw along with the cooked version. Have them help in the garden, shopping, simple cooking (mixing and dumping ingredients) to increase familiarity."
Another good method to try is putting food on the plate you know they will eat and then one bite of a food that you want them to try and that you as the parent are eating, says Dr. Danelle Fisher, Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and chair of pediatrics at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
"So if it's a picky toddler that will eat a handful of Cheerios and one piece of string cheese, put that on the plate along with one bite of broccoli," Fisher says. "If they ignore it, then no response, but if they eat it make a big deal of how good they are. Stick to this plan for days or even weeks — it will eventually pay off."
Rebecca Lewis, a registered dietitian for HelloFresh, says it can take over a dozen presentations of the same food before a toddler is willing to simply taste the new food. Though we love the idea of honestly presenting veggies and fruits on your child's plate, if you are at your wits' end and in need of healthy and creative meal ideas that will appeal to young children, here are some of Lewis' suggestions:
Zucchini: Add grated zucchini to your meatballs, hamburger patties or spaghetti sauce. For a healthy twist on baked goods, you can even add grated zucchini to your breads, muffins and cookies.
Butternut squash: Incorporating mashed or pureed vegetables like squash into meals and snacks adds creaminess without added fat. Butternut squash in mac and cheese gives a beautiful yellow color and a rich sauce that can still be flavored with cheese. Adding pureed pumpkin into ordinary oatmeal gives it an extra fiber boost and a bright color.
Beets: Beets taste amazing in tomato sauce, and they sweeten it up without added sugar. You can also add pureed beets into pancake or waffle mix, for pretty pink princess pancakes.
Cauliflower: Blend steamed cauliflower into mashed potatoes — they'll never even notice it's there! You can also try it in macaroni and cheese.
Spinach: Blend spinach into fresh fruit smoothies to give them both a nutrient and color boost. Mixing with sweet and tart fruits like banana and mango makes for a kid-friendly twist.
Berries: Ditch the jarred jams and jellies and puree fresh berries for toppings on oatmeal, pancakes, sandwiches and desserts.
Hang in there — your toddler will be out of the picky food phase before you know it!

USGBC's Open Letter to EHHI Regarding Indoor Air Quality
In response to this report issued last week by the Connecticut-based health-research nonprofit Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI), the USGBC has released an open letter acknowledging that their Indoor Air Quality program could be better, and they ask for the EHHI's health experts to work with them to improve indoor air quality standards for LEED certification. Read an excerpt from the letter below:
We could not agree more with the need for serious action on improved indoor air quality. But your report fails to provide a complete picture of how interconnected the built environment and public health truly are.
Since the launch of the first LEED rating system 10 years ago, we have been on a continuous improvement cycle to enhance the LEED system. Our goal is to continually evolve this tool that engages everyone involved with buildings — from the owner to the designer to the manager and the occupants — to act and deliver high performance healthy buildings and communities.
Can LEED as a tool be improved? Yes, always! Does LEED reflect the realities of a voluntary system of change? Yes! In other words, we are always helping to guide the market, balancing forces that want status quo and those that want immediate, far-reaching change. We do not do this work as a government. We do this work as a non- profit organization, the same as you.
So please help us. The expertise of EHHI could be a rich resource to continue the evolution of LEED. Having the opportunity to work with very well-respected public health experts that have issued the call to arms on chemicals of concern is very exciting to us. We believe that LEED is an appropriate mechanism to move our shared agenda forward.
We'd like to move quickly. Please accept our invitation to meet with us in Washington, D.C. or New Haven, in June, at a time that is convenient. We would like to explore how we might add your specific expertise to the work of the hundreds of volunteer professionals (including noted Indoor Air Quality experts) charged with the ongoing development of LEED. We also believe that a study of LEED buildings, rather than the rating system itself, would clarify many of these benefits. To that end we want to welcome you to join us in studying this issue as part of our Building Performance Partnership.

First, I want to point out that I start reviews with the bad things and then get to the better aspects.
This being said, I have to admit that I have trouble finding anything bad about this system. All things that may be considered negative are not negative once you take into consideration what this system aims to be. It is a very light generic RPG system, and as such, things are not that crunchy. The experience system may seem a tad flavourless, but the more I think about it, the more I like it; although the rate experience points are handed out may be a bit low considering the costs for things...
As a rules light system, it does not have many small rules for this or that situation, but then again, they are not really necessary for what it aims to achieve.
The system is a true generic system in allowing you to explore whatever you want. The structure of the core mechanisms do not hinder any decisions. This being said, there are, of course, a few caveats, the most prominent probably being magic. The game comes with a relatively open magic system as an option for fantasy settings, but does not give an example for a crunchier, fixed spell-based system. While you might put together a fixed spell-based system (that is, a system with individual, fixed spells that need to be acquired separately), I think it goes against the spirit of the game.
A really nice aspect of the game is that the descriptors do not get any additional numbers added. So, you simply write the description of your character, and you already have all the vital stats there, without the rather awkward intrusion of numbers. This makes its appearance quite elegant and also stresses the goal of focusing on the descriptions. However, it does come at the cost that you have to count things manually to get the dice pool, but this is a minor issue, I think.
Personally, I think the greatest strength of the system is that dedication to focusing on the descriptions, thus encouraging focusing on the narration before anything else. I think this is quite inspiring and in a way intuitive. And the rules do a very good job at really keeping that focus without any undue alien elements.
This is definitely not something for people who want a crunchy or tactical game. But for people who want a rules light system that puts the narration first, I think it is quite recommendable.

And so it was. No severance pay. No paid vacation. No notice.
As the economy becomes tighter, the pool of the unemployed is spreading from textile mills to e-businesses to the hospitality industry and on and on. For the week ending Sept. 22, about 48,900 Georgians collected unemployment, nearly double for the same week a year ago. Late last month, Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines announced 13,000 job cuts.
Stunned workers stare at pink slips, wondering how the bosses decided who would stay and who would go. Are there rules for downsizing a company? Did officials consider children in college? Aging parents? Out-of-work spouses? Are managers still collecting their big paychecks?
In short, what are the ethics of layoffs? "People are talking about this issue now in terms of whether it's patriotic to lay people off, and of whether you should take personal considerations like family issues into account when you lay people off," said Harry Van Buren, who works with the Episcopal Church's Social Responsibility in Investments program.
Van Buren, who also teaches in the College of Business Administration at the University of Northern Iowa, takes the position that, for ethical reasons, companies should avoid layoffs whenever possible by tightening the corporate belt in other ways. The community may be better served if everyone takes a pay cut or a cutback in hours rather than having some people put out of work, he said.
But when all else fails, to save the company and prevent putting everyone out of work, sometimes some workers must go. How a company handles cuts says a lot about its corporate character, said Robert Lewis, regional senior vice president of Lee Hecht Harrison, a firm that works with companies going through reorganizations.
Many companies have a statement of values espousing respect for the individual, said Lewis, who describes himself as a committed Christian. The company could even be based on the founder's religious beliefs. Sometimes the values are merely words on a plaque on a wall. Other times, they drive the company in all its enterprises even downsizing. "Your corporate values are reflected in how you handle people in a layoff situation," he said. Usually, in the absence of a contract that spells out how terminations will be handled, companies look at a combination of skills, performance and tenure.
But do they look at personal circumstances such as families, health and marital status? "It depends on the culture and environment you've created," said Daniel Rodriguez, assistant professor of organization and management at Emory University. "If that is a family-friendly environment and some companies are like that in the long run employees with stable families can prove to be an asset. "On the other hand," he added, "they also can prove to be potentially less productive and potentially more expensive to the business."
Or: A boss lets three productive workers go in order to keep people he fears would be unable to find other jobs. The remaining workers may feel increased loyalty to the company. But, without the most productive workers, the overall output of the department may decrease and more people may end up out of work.
Managers may be naturally inclined to try to protect the most vulnerable workers the chronically ill, the aging or the single parent, said Ron James, president and CEO of the Center for Ethical Business Cultures in Minneapolis. "We're human beings," he said. "There's a tendency to think about those things."
But, he said, those are not the issues that ought to determine layoffs. "Leaders have to use those criteria which are closest to their decision points, that they have more control over," he said. "Typically, those are more work-related."
A manager may know that one worker is a single mother who hasn't seen a child support check since 1988, but she may not know that the dynamic single man in her office is supporting a father with Alzheimer's in an extended care facility. "The minute you start using personal situations to make decisions," he said, "you're at a disadvantage because you don't have all the information."

Can someone please tell me what would be the northern most place that people live at/tourists are able to stay in accommodation in Canada where you can reach bus vehicle other than plane? Yellowknife appears pretty far north on the map and shows as having an airport but not sure if buses would go that far north.
Also any of those islands that make up the northern section of Canada got any people living there/places tourists can stay?
Thanks for your help.
