Keep up to date with what's going on with the Toronto real estate market!
Multiple offers on this 2+2 bed, 2 bath, 1900sf penthouse with the most amazing skyline view!
Thanks for stopping by. While other kids my age were busy getting into all sorts of mischief, I was focused on persuading my mother to take me to neighbourhood open houses. And today, I dedicate my professional life to helping people find their dream home and my personal life to renovating my own spaces.
This is lakeside living! Large, exceptional lot surrounded by mature red oaks, lush gardens and the waterfront trail at your doorstep.
Buying a home can be a whirlwind experience but with Cameron at the helm, the end result is more than we could have hoped. Cameron has a keen eye for property and the ability to see the potential in transforming someone else's house into a space that will be very personal and special to us. Cameron uses his intuition to guide his actions and recommendations. He knew that our new home would be the perfect fit for us and he was patient and willing to answer every question we had. Once our decision was made, Cameron was available whenever we needed him to get the offer secured as quickly as possible. His response time is impressive. Cameron has many connections throughout the real estate, financial and home renovation world. This enabled us to connect with the right people, at the right time, to make the entire process a success, knowing that at all times we were dealing with experienced professionals. Thank you Cameron!
I could not have asked for a better agent than Cameron, for selling my unique loft space in downtown Toronto, where I had lived for over 35 years. He made my work easier, in his stellar recommendations for services that I required. And he remains a positive, moving forward force, taking in my needs as well as the job at hand. I would be eager to recommend him to anyone who is thinking of selling.
Cameron was an excellent agent from beginning to end. He was patient while we were deciding to enter the market, he was aggressive during our purchase, and strategic for our sale. By having Cameron in our corner, we ended up with a beautiful home that will carry our family for many years to come.
As a first time home buyer with limited knowledge of the Toronto real estate market, I was extremely lucky to have worked with Cameron. He helped me buy my first condo in Toronto, and the whole process from beginning to end was so smooth and stress-free. Reliable, resourceful and extremely knowledgeable are a few among many words to describe Cameron. If you're looking for a realtor who is going to make your home buying experience a comfortable one, Cameron is your guy!
With two small children and a very busy schedule, the process of selling our house was daunting. From scheduling the staging to putting up the sold sign, Cameron made the process so quick and easy that there is no question, next time we need an agent, he'll be the one we call!
Cameron sold our house in three days. He advised about the right improvements to invest in, staged the place impeccably, and gave our listing his full attention. He was always available to answer our questions quickly and thoughtfully. As young parents, we really appreciated his commitment to making the process easy. Cameron did the work necessary to make our house stand out, getting us several offers.
Cameron helped us buy our first house and sell my condo. Cameron is both practical and fun to work with. He brought reason, sound judgment and energy to an often stressful and daunting process. He distilled issues, and helped to focus our energy and attention on what mattered. Cameron loves what he does, and his upbeat and constructive attitude is refreshing. Cameron also has a natural aptitude for the marketplace. He effectively represented our interests: even where the odds seemed long, Cameron delivered. In addition to his skill and calm demeanour, Cameron has a network of helpful and reliable contacts in a variety of trades and services that can support a successful sale or can address issues after a successful purchase. Taken together, Cameron is the ideal realtor package, and we highly recommend him.
Cameron helped us purchase our very first home in the most efficient and effective way. When I meet someone new for the first time, normally I'm very polite and reserved. But with Cameron, I was able to really open up about fears and dreams. I told him my fear of getting into the market. I whined about not knowing which neighbourhood I want to live in. I complained about my commute to work from Mimico. I praised my husband's patience waiting for me to make up my mind regarding when and where I want our new home to be. Cameron has been such a great listener. He would let me vent about all my worries, and give me wonderful advice. But I am one of those "askholes", I ask for advice, yet do the opposite of what I have been advised. So when I finally found a house that both my husband and I love regarding size, neighbourhood and price range, of course I tried to talk myself out of it because of my fear of getting into the real estate market. Cameron was able to paint the big picture for me. I was able to visualize a future that I don't want to be in, regretting about not making the move when everything just felt so right. So on March 9, 2015, Cameron guided us very quickly to win the bidding of our first home. We literally saw the open house just a day before we made the purchase. We are so happy with the house and the way Cameron handled everything. If you want to work with a real estate agent who is real, lets you be you, and will step up for a super quick move when you are under the gun, Cameron is honestly the perfect person for it.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Cameron to sell our condo. His attention to every detail and professionalism was second to none. Cam took care of everything for us and left us completely at ease through the entire process. We can't say enough good things about our experience. If you're in the market for a real estate agent look no further.
The market was very different from when we bought our house a short three years ago. It was a scary place. "Sellers market", "Over asking", "Holding back offers". Those were just some of the headlines in the news when we decided we wanted to list and take advantage of the hot market. But where to begin? We knew we needed an experienced Agent. One who knew the market and was resourceful. Also we needed an Agent who could be honest with us and manage our expectations. It was clear after our first meeting with Cameron that he was the Agent for us. He quickly provided us a real assessment of our houses worth and devised a plan that would get us top dollar. Once we gave him the "OK" that's when the real magic took place.
We lead very busy lives; full time jobs, a toddler, etc. so the thought of figuring out all the details was daunting and overwhelming. Cameron swooped in and went above and beyond his call of duty. Whether it was setting up staging, picking out paint colours that would help sell our house fast or arranging a handyman to complete construction on our unfinished porch, Cameron was effective & efficient.
Once our house was sold, within a week and with multiple offers, Cameron made it his mission to find us our next home. We are settled in now and enjoying our time together as a family. Cameron still checks in and visits us and we are so happy that he does. I consider him a friend and would recommend him to anyone who is interested in a professional who can get results.
My husband and I have worked with Cameron for a couple of years now and have successfully closed on a number of properties. Frankly, we plan on working with him more. Here’s why…what we found is that his professionalism, reliability and attentiveness really made a process, that can oftentimes be very emotional and overwhelming, more bearable. He kept us focused on our goals and that is what we really needed in the end to close on our homes. His candor and market knowledge is balanced with his acute marketing expertise. Two words: Hire him!
When I told Cameron that I was outgrowing my Cityplace condo, he took the time to really understand my needs both an investment and lifestyle perspective in order to help me figure out my next move. Within a matter of days, he found me the perfect townhouse in the perfect neighbourhood and helped me negotiate a great price. Because he knows the Toronto real estate market so well, Cameron was able to sell my condo quickly by pricing it correctly. Needless to say, the condo sold in no time and at the asking price. Cameron was a terrific guide throughout the entire process of buying and selling and never left me with any questions unanswered. He went out of his way to make an otherwise scary and stressful experience fun and exciting for me. I will definitely work with Cameron again in the future.
Cameron made our experience buying and selling smooth and easy in a very hot market. Selling our townhouse over asking in less than 48 hours was pretty amazing! Cameron is really knowledgeable on everything related to real estate in Toronto and extremely fast and efficient to answer our questions. We did not feel the stress we were expecting. We would definitely recommend him and I am sure he will be the one taking care of our future real estate needs.
As a first time seller, I had no idea of what to expect and Cameron was an essential part in the whole process. He helped me with ideas for staging and was always ready to help and answer any question that I had. When I decide to buy another property, I will definitely talk to him again.
Cameron Thornton is truly a gem. We were referred to him by my sister and I have never met someone as genuine, knowledgable, available and as attentive as Cam. We have made a friend for life. Cam helped us buy our first house last night. He guided us in the right direction and made sure that we were comfortable and sure of all of our moves. His "Spider" senses are dead on and when he is your realtor, he has your best interest at heart. He told us to stay away from properties that were gonna get us in trouble and steered us towards the ones that would be a great buy for us. In the end, Cam ended up getting us our first dream home last night. WHICH HAPPENED TO BE HIS BIRTHDAY. He spent his entire day and evening with us and made sure that we were represented with utmost regard. He is professional and he is knowledgable and he is very well networked and renowned for his work. What sets Cam apart from all other realtors is that he is genuine and is a delight to be around. We adore you Cameron Thornton! We have found a friend in you for life. Happy belated birthday to you and a happy new home to us!
Cameron's patience and thoughtfulness made selling and buying our home speedy and as stress free as possible. He listened to our needs and delivered results quickly. His knowledge of the city was key in helping us make a decision. His accessibility and resourcefulness is exceptional. He has been a great source of information on so many levels. Cameron takes the time to ensure you're satisfied long after the deal is done. We definitely plan on using his expertise and advice during our renovation stage.
Cameron made our experience. He was patient with us and our needs. We found the perfect place because of him. He knew exactly what we wanted and was able to use his experience and expertise to help navigate us in the right direction. With his honesty and his ability to understand us, the buyer, he was able to find us our perfect home. Cameron, made things very easy for us first time home buyers. He offered us his recommendations on how he would furnish a place, and any renovations that he would do. We will always recommend Cameron for anyone who is selling/buying. I can't even imagine how anyone could top his services. Class Act.
One fateful Saturday afternoon, my wife and I wandered into an open house in our building looking for ideas how to stage and present our own. There we met Cameron Thornton. Thoughtful, resourceful, knowledgeable, supportive. These are just a few words of the thousands to express my gratitude to this excellent real estate agent. Buying and selling are extremely stressful times. Cameron walked us through like the professional he is, keeping us informed of the market, time lines we needed to meet to maximize our potential. When we didn't have the experience to do something, Cameron had someone waiting in the wings to rush in and help us. The sad part of our experience with Cameron? He helped us find the perfect forever home. Which means we will likely never have the opportunity to work with him again. Cameron is a gem and you would be wise to trust all of your real estate needs with him. I know I am thankful everyday for our encounter one Saturday afternoon.
Cameron is a very resourceful and responsive agent. He is very knowledgeable about the different neighbourhoods in the city of Toronto as well as the ups and down of the real estate market. Despite the fact that our needs were quite eclectic at the start of our search, Cameron was patient and was of tremendous help in narrowing down the possibilities. He was also extremely helpful in giving us a full overview of each apartment we looked at and laid out his honest educated opinion every time. Cameron looked out for our best interest and we definitely recommend him!
Working with Cameron was a pleasure - even though my criteria in looking for a house was broad and varied, he understood what I wanted depending on the different neighbourhoods we looked in. Always with patience, he ultimately helped me find a home which was a great fit for me in my ideal location. Not only that, but he assisted me with selling my place swiftly and with ease. Cameron was definitely a great help who steadily guided me through what can sometimes be a crazy real estate market. Thanks Cameron!
Our experience buying and selling with Cameron was better than we could have ever imagined. The process was so quick and easy that it took a lot of stress off our shoulders. He is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and accessible, and provided sound advice to us at every turn. We'd recommend him to anyone who is interested in a change of scenery!
Choosing Cameron as our agent was one of the best decisions my husband and I could made. We met at an open house he was having for another client and we were immediately impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. My husband and I forgot how stressful buying a home could be and on top of that we were selling for the first time in our lives. Cameron was there every step of the way to calm nerves and educate us on the current market. He is knowledgeable about the different neighbourhoods in the city which was a great help. He is also an incredible resource when it comes to home renovations. We are so happy that we made the decision to work with Cameron and will definitely call him for any future real estate needs.
As first time home buyers with two small children, we couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we truly believe that Cameron was to thank for this. His genuine disposition and professional yet fun approach to the world of real estate was a welcome relief. Cameron was on the ball, prompt and informative. Another amazing quality that sets Cameron apart from other agents is his in depth knowledge of home renovations. With his keen eye for design and knowledge of renovation costs, he was able to walk us through each home seeing its full potential. We have and will continue to refer Cameron to all of our friends and family. Thanks Cam!
As a first time buyer and seller, I was extremely anxious entering the whole process. Faced with this daunting task, I was comforted by the professionalism and knowledge of Cameron Thornton. In selling my home, he displayed the kind of confidence that you seek in someone who is dealing with one of your greatest investments, as well as something to which you are emotionally attached. His reassurance and patience allowed me to explore all options in buying a house. I was unsure of what I wanted and often my parameters changed. Cameron showed me a variety of homes and explained the pros and cons of each. I never felt pressured to make any rash decisions and in the end, Cameron led me to a home that suited all the needs that I expressed and even more that I didn’t even know I had.
Cameron has a true love for real estate and an uncanny ability to discover that gem in the rough - the house that has been overlooked by everyone, but with a few tweaks can become the home for you. He understood our needs as a growing family and found us the perfect home, in the ideal location. We would have overlooked it, but because of him we were able to see it for what it was. He guided us through the purchase process with a steady hand and went out of his way to help us make it happen, even though we were on vacation. We went into our bidding prepared with the right knowledge and came away confident that we made the right decisions. You can trust Cameron to have your best interests in mind, really listen to what you need, clarify your requirements and find you that great deal!
After we bought our new house, we knew we wanted to take advantage of the unfinished basement. Cameron was a huge help in helping us plan our income-generating basement renovation. From advising us on an optimal, open-concept layout, and suggesting where to save and spend wisely to maximize our rental income, Cameron was a trusted advisor throughout our first home renovation. We were able to find an ideal tenant within two weeks of listing our unit, and everyone who toured the apartment expressed the same overwhelming sentiment: "It feels like a condo, not a basement apartment." Thanks Cameron!

You’ve got the competition to consider, your own skill set, what you perceive to be your skills (yes, this is different from the former for most of us), what your market will pay, your location, and a host of other variables. Working it out can feel like a hurdle you can’t quite get past.
Of course, there are some strategies you can employ. One popular method is to use a calculator such as the one found on Melissa Ingold’s Time Freedom Business. These will quite quickly tell you what you need to be charging to reach your income goals, and they’re a great place to start.
This might take a little detective work, since a lot of coaches and service providers don’t publish rates. But if you pay attention to their websites and social media, ask a few discreet questions, and get on their mailing list, you can figure it out.
In some fields, this is easy. There are certifications and educational programs that allow you—by virtue of having achieved them—to charge a certain rate. If you’ve followed this path, then pricing will be easy for you. If not, take a solid look at what you can legitimately claim as a skill.
If your goal is to give newbies a helping hand and lead them down the path to success, that unfortunately means you can look forward to low paying gigs. That’s not a bad thing—everyone has to begin somewhere—but it does need to be acknowledged. If, on the other hand, you’re target market is more established and economically stable, then a higher fee isn’t just warranted—it’s a must. They will expect a higher price, and will not find value in the lowest-cost provider of anything, whether it’s coffee beans or business coaching.

Just 10 minutes of daily meditation can help prevent your mind from wandering.
Just 10 minutes of daily meditation can help prevent your mind from wandering and is particularly effective if you tend to have repetitive, anxious thoughts, say researchers.
The team from the University of Waterloo found that developing an awareness of the present moment reduced incidents of repetitive, off-task thinking — a hallmark of anxiety.
"Our results indicate that mindfulness training may have protective effects on mind wandering for anxious individuals," said Mengran Xu, researcher and PhD candidate at Waterloo.
The team also found that meditation practice appears to help anxious people to shift their attention from their own internal worries to the present-moment external world, which enables better focus on a task at hand.
As part of the study, 82 participants who experienced anxiety were asked to perform a task on a computer while experiencing interruptions to gauge their ability to stay focused on the task.
Researchers then put the participants into two groups at random, with the control group given an audio story to listen to and the other group asked to engage in a short meditation exercise prior to being reassessed.
"Mind wandering accounts for nearly half of any person's daily stream of consciousness," said Xu.
"For people with anxiety, repetitive off-task thoughts can negatively affect their ability to learn, to complete tasks, or even function safely," Xu added.
The study, co-authored by Waterloo psychology professors Christine Purdon and Daniel Smilek and Harvard University's Paul Seli, was published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition.

A seminal paper published by Singh et al (CELL, 2009) demonstrated that not all KRAS mutant cancer cell lines are "addicted" to this oncogene for survival signaling. Using a series of elegant knockdown experiments in lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines, they showed that KRAS mutant cancer cell lines could be classified as "KRAS-Dependent" and "KRAS-independent" groups. Your assingment is to find the differentially expressed genes in the lung cancer "KRAS-dependent" and "KRAS-independent" using SAM (FDR < 0.1). All data are available here.

Active Workplace Solutions began the process by working closely with both the client and dedicated project manager to ensure each and every move was planned meticulously, ready to start the first of the five phase move towards the end of January.
It was important for the Havas Group that the moves were conducted outside of working hours to ensure minimum downtime and disruption to business. This meant that majority of moves were carried out over weekends, meaning all staff were up and running for first thing Monday morning!
The move process began with the production of colour coded labels, by Active Workplace Solutions Administration team, identifying the go to location of all IT equipment, personal or global storage to be moved. These were distributed along with the crates to various sites ready for packing.
The moves included the decommissioning of all desktop IT by supervised IT engineers and the careful protect packing of items by Active Workplace Solutions experienced porters, who then loaded all equipment and crates onto awaiting 17t vehicles ready to be transported. These would be taken to the basement at HKX where another team of Active Workplace Solutions porters would be ready to distribute to designated floor. The crates were then unpacked and the IT equipment recommissioned ready for testing. Active Workplace Solutions then cleared away all the empty crates and offered post move support in the form of one of the supervisors from the weekends move along with porters to assist the removal of emptied crates.
Once the moves were complete, Active Workplace Solutions was put in charge of the clearance of some of the vacated buildings. This involved using our large network of furniture dealers to reuse any redundant furniture of value, which in turn helped to reduce the final cost of the clearance for the client.
In total 55 tons of waste was recycled as a result of the clearances with over 3000 crates and 1400 members of staff oved and settled in to their new premises!

All of that to say after getting our little Christmas tree, I used a gift card and Christmas’d up our front door. John was so excited to have some Christmas decorations out and that’s ultimately why I did it all. The last few days I have had some precious time with my Jesus. And, in those moments, I have prayed that the Lord would really grow and instill in me the attitude of a Godly wife. What does that look like? What does it mean to outdo my husband with honor? How can I create a household in which he will always want to rush home?
One thing that has always stuck out to me from our wedding, was when our pastor, Keith Harmon, gave us both some tips of wisdom. One of those directed towards me was to never rush to defend my husband, but rather to always lift him up in prayer. I am sure that has saved me a lot of frustration already! But, today was one of those days where I spent extended time in prayer over him and over our marriage. I am so honored to get the chance to try and become the wife that he will always be head over heels for…especially when a lot of junky stuff is going on.
And, another thing that has stuck out a lot lately in my personal time with the Lord is the issue of contentment. I have always struggled with the idea that I am never 100% content with just the Lord alone. And, today it hit me, I won’t ever be this side of Heaven. I will have moments, like I did today, where nothing else but the Lord matters to me. But, unfortunately, I will never 100% feel that way all of the time here on earth.
Even though I can sit here today and tell you that I am a woman that has experienced a lot of dark trials in my life, including the hardest of losing my first baby, that Jesus is far greater and better than anything I could ever dream of in the universe. If my husband went home to be with the Lord tonight, or if we were never able to have children, or if one of us gets cancer, or if I get pregnant again, bring that baby in the world just to lose the child moments later, or if John loses his job…Jesus is still greater and the love of my life. He would still be worthy of praise in all of those things and He is worthy of praise right now. I cannot explain in words how much I really do love Him. And, because I do love Him that much, I long for the day when my love for Him never gets distracted by anything else.

In the ancient church, the catechumens who wanted to be baptized that year would give their names to their pastor sometime before Lent. If the pastor thought they were ready, he would submit their names to the bishop. At the beginning of Lent, all those seeking baptism would go before the bishop who would question (scrutinize) the catechumens and their godparents about the catechumens’ lifestyle.
If the bishop discerned the catechumens were ready, their names were inscribed in a book or on a scroll. For those catechumens who the bishop thought needed more formation, he would send them away, telling them to amend their lives and return again next year.
Many RCIA teams and many more catechumens seem to not quite clearly grasp the reason that a Rite of Election is included in the initiation process. Many believe the purpose of the rite is to introduce the catechumens to the bishop. Or, as an extension of that, to show the catechumens that they are joining the Catholic Church, which is made up of many, many parishes — not just their home parish. Some seem to see the Rite of Election as the catechumens’ final choice to be baptized — a grand public declaration that they have finally decided to sign up, literally.
If these are the dominant themes we see in the Rite of Election, then it makes sense to apply the ends equally to the baptized candidates. They, too, will benefit from meeting the bishop, being welcomed to the larger church, and making public their decision to become Catholic.

Personally, I think that geometry is one of the more concrete concepts for students to grasp in primary grades; quite literally. There are tons of ideas of how to construct shapes on the internet, in math books, etc. I love the activities with spaghetti and with Popsicle sticks and gumdrops, but those activities can be limiting when working with shapes with curved sides. These activities can be misleading when students decide to extend shapes and we have to be very careful that we not provide fixed and limiting language such as, “the gumdrops are the vertices” because that is not true in a shape like the one to the left.
We recently bought a set from Learning Resources that, in my opinion, is the best out there for allowing students to construct two and three dimensional shapes and combine shapes to make new ones. I used these in my small groups to let students explore and then name their shapes. We use Seesaw in our classroom as a learning portfolio and after students made their shapes, they took a picture and labeled them on their Seesaw accounts.
The standard I had in mind with this exploration was: 1.GA.2: Compose two-dimensional shape or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
It’s so interesting to watch and listen as students construct their shapes. Just as with any creative activity, students who are identified as struggling learners by standardized tasks excel at the task and take the initiative and go further with their learning because they aren’t inhibited by language or symbols that they aren’t yet able to make sense of. Often the accelerated learners on standardized tasks do the bare minimum to complete the task and move on. I think these observable behaviors tell us a lot about the mindset of the student and their past experiences with learning. They also tell us which students value play and which value praise.
Open-ended tasks like these are my favorite because they allow opportunities for students to explore misconceptions like the one here. This student doesn’t yet understand that a shape must be closed. This was an opportunity for me to quickly see that and perhaps more importantly for other students to notice and provide feedback. The picture on the right is the square after he corrected it (and his understanding of shapes).
This student had a misconception about circles and ovals which I may not have found so easily without this time to explore and create.
This student started out with a square and built onto it to make it a rectangle. She discovered how to combine shapes to make new ones.
This student combed a 3D and a 2D shape to make a sculpture.
This student is one of my very low performing student sin most subjects, but in math he excels because he is able to make sense of his own learning through play and discovery.
I used this picture earlier, but this student started with a cube and decided he wanted to extend it to see what it turned out to be. He needed help naming it, but loved that he had discovered a “new” shape.
We shouldn’t limit ourselves to tasks that offer fixed outcomes. We must search for tasks that allow students to be creative and “build” their own meaning. As you know, I am a huge proponent of STEAM integration in primary grades and this is just one example of a task that melds mathematics and 21st century skills. We need to let kids explore more and allow ourselves as educators to do less talking and more listening!


text: I`m doing a sumary of important facts, that I experienced. I always asked to myself, why did those things happened to me?, I feel so identify with CE4 Research videos on the web. I`m from Guatemala, I`m a Veterinarian and I am 29. Since I have memory, the night isn`t my favorite day time, for many situations I have passed on. In my childhood I experienced a lot of encounters with a lot of creatures, since creatures as “bigfoot” alike, to creatures named for themselves “transformers” or “decepticons” (I know much of people will think that I`m insane). Weather I was congregating in a Christian church, I left that habit, when I was 13; by te age of 15, I used to hear Celine Dion`s music, and I had a disease “lepra” alike, I also had a familiar member involved in saucering and I learned to play the guitar; by the time and for my family situations, it was habitual to me to get sleep at the living room, one of the reasons, was that I got on my house at 3 or 4 AM. One night of June (1999), I got home at 3 in the morning, I putted my disc player with walkmans besides me, and I kept laying going to sleep, on the principal couch. I don`t know how much time I slept, but as it was still dark, I was awake with my arms over me like a “nosferatu” position, I was unable to move or to open my eyes, and my heart started to pump really fast and my respiration rate was elevated, I thought I would die. At the time three things happened at the matter of 2 or 3 seconds: First I fell of 1 meter of high (I realized in that moment, that I was levitating with the couch), as I fell, the window that was near of me crushed and made a real strong noise, It Kept vibrating, and third, at this time, my mom who has been really a believer always, opened a room`s door that was alineated with the couch (where I was sleeping) and the window that crushed, saying instantly this words: “did you see the alien?”. I remember this event, as the shockiest thing I`ve ever experienced. I always thought that as my mother has been always a believer, she by the blood of Jesus Christ was able to reprend that “alien”. That experience made me a believer and I got close to God. I have been witness of other things, my brother too, separately or together. Once he saw a creature with “Jesus” form or look, and he said to it “you are not my lord” and suddenly it transformed to a horrible demon. Other time, we were sleeping at the same rooms in separated beds, in the night the tv turned on, an then off; then on, and off, and kept like that about 5 minutes, I said to my brother to leave the remote, that it wasn´t funny, and he said te same to me; I showed him my hands, and he did the same to me, and the two of us at the time saw the remote on the table among the beds, we call mom, and when she came, the tv stopped doing the turning on/off thing. Then we slept, and later, I woke up, and I saw in the door (that was opened) 6 to 8 gray creatures with small mouths, large eyes, and with no hair. They were thin and with different tallness; they were unable to pass, I remember that I was trying to cover my eyes with my covertor when I discovered my eyes they were still there. I remember that I thought “why can´t they pass? why cant´they get in the room?” I watched them carefully, and I realized that a Bible was on the table near to the door. It is the only explanation that I have, for the reason they weren`t able to get in. This made me closer to Jesus Christ than before. After these events, I haven´t seen this kind of creatures (I have seen other kinds), but in other situations I have felt that they try to abduct me, even I have levitate over my bed, I have felt too that a lot of them have tried to push me away my bed to take me with them, but those situations were different, for I had think or said the name over all names Jesus Christ, even as they have tried to break my lips or get into my mind, there have been victories for Christ!, my ultimate experience was like 7 years ago. Sometimes they comeback as the daemons they are, but the name of Jesus has rescue me an they have left me in peace, THANKS TO JESUS! HIS NAME HAS POWER AGAINST THEM!. Thank you for your attention, excuse me for my bad english! God Bless you!

Two car bombings killed at least 34 people in Iraq on Monday.
In one of the attacks, a suicide bomber killed at least 24 Shi'ite militiamen near Jurf al-Sakhar, a town government forces say they had recaptured from Islamic State militants.
The blast Monday, which occurred at a security checkpoint outside Jurf al-Sakhar, wounded another 25. The attacker was driving a Humvee vehicle packed with explosives.
Jurf-al-Sakhar, located about 50 kilometers south of Baghdad, was a "fatal blow" against the Islamic State group.
On Monday night, a car bomb explosion killed at least 10 people in central Baghdad in a neighborhood filled with shops and restaurants. Another 18 were injured.
The U.S. military says it launched 11 airstrikes in Syria and Iraq in the past day. Four of the attacks were near Kobani, the Syrian town where Islamic State militants and Kurdish fighters have been fighting just south of the Turkish border.
The Sunni extremists had held the town since July.
Meanwhile, Syria's state news agency SANA reported on Monday that the government was providing military support to Kurdish forces to help them battle Islamic State fighters.
The action, if true, would mean President Bashar al-Assad and his Western enemies could be backing the same forces against Islamist militants.
The main Syrian Kurdish party, which has repeatedly denied that it has cooperated with the Damascus government, described the report as propaganda.
SANA said that the aid included direct and indirect military support but did not say which groups were recipients or when Damascus last sent military aid to Kurds.
Meanwhile, Islamic State militants continue to clash with Kurdish fighters in the northern Syrian town of Kobani in a battle that has stretched on for six weeks just south of the Turkish border.
The U.S. military also said Monday it launched 11 airstrikes in Syria and Iraq in the past day. Four of the attacks were near Kobani.
Smoke could be seen rising from Kobani again Monday.
Fighting has intensified since Sunday night between Islamic State militants and fighters of the Kurdish militias. There has been mortar, heavy machine-gun fire and lighter gun fire.
The point of contention continues to be the border crossing to Turkey, which is where reinforcements are due to cross sometime today (Monday). But sources inside Kobani, speaking by telephone, told VOA there has been fighting on three sides of the city overnight - to the east, the south and the west.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors violence in Syria, said more than 800 people have died in ground fighting in Kobani, including nearly 500 militants and more than 300 Kurds.
That is in addition to more than 550 who have been killed by American-led airstrikes, most of them Islamic State insurgents.
The Kurdish forces are expecting the arrival of peshmerga forces from Iraq's Kurdistan region, who could join the battle in Kobani as early as this week.
Scott Bobb contributed to this report from Turkey. Some materia for this report came from Reuters.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the blood glucose level remain high for a long time. This metabolic disorder is life long and the glucose level remain high either due to insufficient insulin production in the body or due to inadequate response by the body to the insulin produced. Chronic hyperglycemia is the cause of diabetes mellitus.
How can you treat diabetes?
The first and the most important step to be taken to treat diabetes is consumption of healthy and balanced diet. Any diet for a diabetic person must include foods low in calorie, rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
Vegetables fit well in this prescription as they do not cause sudden spike in blood glucose level. Eating non-starchy vegetable is beneficial as it contains fewer calories and has low glycemic index, besides very little carbohydrate. While eating whole vegetable is a preferred form of consumption, drinking vegetable juices is also an option for diabetics.
All the vegetables that are consumed can be juiced and consumed. However do keep in mind that the glycemic index of the juice is more than that of the whole vegetable. Whole vegetable contains the essential dietary fiber which is not available in the juice.
Many vegetables cannot be eaten raw either because of the taste or hardness. Hence juicing them in substitute for whole vegetable is a better way.
A person affected by diabetes has to be careful in maintaining the body weight as well as the blood sugar level. Vegetable juice plays a vital part in both by normalizing the blood sugar level and assisting the weight loss program.
Vegetable juices can be consumed at regular intervals so as to defer or reduce intake of solid foods to avoid consumption of excess carbohydrates.
Diabetics may also consume fruit juices as well but have to be judicious in selection of the fruit as fruits contain more sugar and can cause hyperglycemia.
While juicing diet is a better way of getting the nutrients in vegetables and fruits, one has to be cautious in consumption of certain types of fruit juices.
However there is no bar on any type of vegetable juice.
Juices from cucumber, spinach and other leafy vegetables, celery, green apple, cabbage, broccoli and green bell pepper are some of them. You can consume all these juices as they are starch free and have very little or no carbohydrate. These juices are palatable and you can consume them without any other ingredient, in lieu of any other diet.
Juices extracted from wheatgrass, barley greens, spirulina and other dark green vegetables contain chlorophyll called “liquid sun shine” which acts as a natural healer and cleaner of internal and external chronic conditions. Diabetes is an internal chronic condition.
To make drinking juices tastier, you can mix some of the vegetable juices together. Such juices not only provide combination of nutrients from all the vegetables mixed but also give a better taste so as to induce drinking it regularly.
Fresh green beans: Juice made from fresh beans prevent pressure in the eyes and macular degeneration. Since diabetes causes early problems related to eyes, consumption of this juice prevents eye related disorders peculiar to diabetics.
Broccoli juice: It contains high amount of vitamin – C, (even more than orange). It also contains beta carotene which enhances vision. It is anti-inflammatory with many nutrients that support detox. Hence it is an excellent juice for diabetics.
Jamun fruit juice: Jamun fruit or black plum is very good for diabetics. Because of its low glycemic index, jamun juice is a substitute diet for diabetics. This fruit has enormous health benefits due to polyphenoic compounds present in it. It cures various digestive disorders and is used in treatment of cancer, heart diseases, asthma, arthritis and diabetics. The juice of the fruit converts starch into energy and keep blood sugar level under check.
Juice from asparagus and bitter melon reduces blood sugar level and control the sugar level. Bitter melon juice is particularly helpful because it contains charantin, polypeptide, oleonolic acid and glycosides which help lowering blood sugar level.
Juice from celery cleanses the digestive system from accumulation of uric acid.
Red grape juice with anti-oxidant contents also lowers blood sugar level.
Always avoid juices that are sweet except for the above ones. You can consume juices that are sour or astringent after checking glycemic index and other nutrients present.

No laughing matter! Here’s your chance to check out or re-discover what Australian red wines have to offer.
From one of the best winemakers, this is mostly Shiraz/Syrah co-fermented with a splash of Viognier. Adding a little white to a big red is a classic winemaking practice.
2016 Clos LaChance, 22 Pirates Blend, $19.99.
The name may be silly, but there's a fun story behind it.
This is a rich, exciting Rhone blend that sells for $42 at the winery.
We know there’s a market for 95+ point rated wines priced on the high end.
Though not hard-core collectors, some people are interested not only in the California cults (Cade, Pahlmeyer, Insignia, Shafer, Harlan) but also in the top rated Bordeaux and Brunello, as well as the Super Tuscans like Sassicaia.
Over the last year one site I follow has proven itself to be the one-stop shopping for the cult and cult-wannabe wines of the world.
The average 10-20% discount and free shipping on orders of $149 or more cemented its place on the top.
The proven track record for reliability doesn’t hurt either.
An enormous selection, good discounts, reliable shipping.
unusual selection of imports and small wineries; good discounts. Love their case specials!
at times uncovers under the radar French and CA cult wines.
This one is best for high-end imported and CA wines. Dont let the name fool you.
excellent CA wines. Improving on French, big discounts. A flash sale site.
Looking for wines that are not available either in traditional wine shops or on most websites?
The focus for me must must be on discoveries of unusual, limited production wines that are true to their type. But NOT EXPENSIVE.
Such as outstanding wine from Greece, Austria or Slovenia as well as unheralded or overlooked wines from Germany, Spain, Italy and France.
Part of the enjotyment of wine is to discover a lovely wine that, you learn, comes with a rich and exciting history.
Many website, particularly those with daily deals, seem to have magically discovered a treasure trove of older wine or a few cases found hidden in the far end of a winery's cellar.
Here is a rule of thumb: if the wine is more than ten years old, be cautious and a little suspicious.
To me, a wine made before 2009 must have been moved around from one place to another over time.
importer, or distributor holds a wine for several years. Retailers, never.
Chances are most older vintages offered were purchased from a private cellar. Or some wholesaler that went out of business.
My advice: stay away from "fabled old vintages."
Today, there are close to 5,000 wineries in California and another 4,000 in other states.
Constellation Brands owns over 100 brands, such as Robert Mondavi, and Ravenswood.
Treasury Wines also owns over 100, including Acacia, Beringer, Beaulieu, Lindemans.
Jackson Family owns over 50, including Arrowood, La Crema, La Jota, Lokoya, Matanzas Creek, and Freemark Abbey.
Foley Family owns over 50 brands, including Sebastiani, Chalk Hill, Foley-Johnson.
Barefoot Cellars is the top-selling brand and is owned by Gallo.
Hope that news didn't ruin your day.
As I see it, this Guide is a cross between a website and a newsletter.
Given the fast-changing nature of the subject, it will be regularly revised and updated.
With wine, there is no such thing as a gifted palate or a natural born taster.
There are no right or wrong answers about what to drink and when to drink a wine you like.
More expensive wines are not necessarily better than low-priced, reasonably priced wines.
Older wines are not better than young wines, and there never has been any system devised that can guarantee wine quality.
Real Discounts or Bogus Prices?
In the familiar digital world of coupons, member discounts and promo codes, we still need to ask ourselves: “How can online wine dealers knock 30%-70% off retail prices?
That’s a reasonable question to raise and it’s normal to be a little skeptical.
It is also normal to wonder if the wines fell off the back of the truck, were left sitting on the Houston docks in July, are total crap, or are truly a treasure trove discovered in a dark cellar.
Over the last five years I’ve been tracking many online wine clubs as part of my coverage of online wine retailers.
As the direct to consumer clubs from wineries continue to grow, we are seeing an increase in independent clubs being offered by publications like the Wall Street Journal and airlines along with totally independent e-commerce businesses like the Wine of the Month Club, Vinesse, and Winc.
The Yelp-like reviews for these e-commerce only wine clubs are mixed and a few are downright hostile.
But, many people subscribe or are thinking about joining a club, so I follow, explore, and rate these clubs.
Looking for A Special Wine Club?
Strong on small-batch Pinot Noir, Estate Chardonnay, and several Estate Rhone wines. A true artisan winery.
Pinot Noirs from 5-6 appellations….will please any Pinot fanatic.
Cozy and friendly, very modest facility with tons of country charm.
Members receive 3 wines 4 times a year and can select the type: red, white or mixed.
Prices are relatively modest, ranging from $20 for a few white wines to $48 for the high end Pinots.
Members receive a 25% discount on shipped wines; 20% off all other wines.
Wine tastings for members and your guests are comped.
Wonderful offering of tasting room exclusives….small batch wines.
Wine country feel as visitors pass through the small 28-acre estate vineyard as they meander up to the tasting center.
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away, only Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and The Wine Spectator dueled over which one could score the most wines 90 points or more.

Around the world, about 3.5 billion people live in cities, and that number is expected to surpass 6 billion by 2050, according to the United Nations.
People migrating to cities in search of a new life or better opportunities is certainly not a new phenomenon. “Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization, whence light and heat radiated out into the dark,” wrote Theodore Parker in Lessons from the World of Matter and the World of Men in 1872.
But the rapid rise of urbanization underway is unprecedented. As the world becomes increasingly more urban, the connections between cities and the people and places that live in them hold an even greater significance.
As the world becomes increasingly more urban, the connections between cities and the people and places that live in them hold an even greater significance.
CBRE’s Urban Photographer of the Year (UPOTY) competition challenges photographers to capture moments of connectivity across the daily cycle of city life.
Whether it’s a scene of commuters on an overcrowded subway car in Tokyo, an exuberant dog walker driving through Malibu or passengers sleeping on a late night train ride through Kolkata, the photographs of past winners capture the essence of city life and the human interaction it elicits around the world.
The theme of this year’s competition is Cities of Connections: People, Places, Perspectives—a glimpse into urban environments and a unique perspective on how we interact with them.
“CBRE has the unique opportunity to play a critical role in both shaping and celebrating stories of the urban environment. We are proud to honor the richness and diversity of city life around the world and encourage photographers to capture the essence of the urban environment,” said Paul Suchman, CBRE’s global chief marketing officer.
The competition, which closes on November 30 at 11:59 p.m. GMT, is free to enter and open to both professional and amateur photographers. A unique element of the contest allows each entrant to submit up to 24 images—one to represent each hour of the day. The overall winner will be awarded a photography trip to a destination of their choice. Other prizes include drones and GoPro camera packages.
For every entry in the Urban Photographer of the Year competition, CBRE will make a donation to Plan International, supporting the global NGO’s work in advancing children’s rights and equality for girls.

Three ways to explore the Modern Valley online or firsthand.
The Valley rocks! Author Kevin Roderick calls it “America’s Suburb.” And it is full of excellent examples of Modern architecture, from the corporate and commercial gems along Ventura Boulevard, to the Ranch homes in Northridge, and everything in between.
The architecture exemplifies the region's explosive growth in the second half of the twentieth century. The San Fernando Valley offered a uniquely Southern California lifestyle, with just a little more elbow room, a little more ease.
The Valley represented to many a further refinement of the time-honored American dream –- a home of one’s own, a sunny climate, affordable living, easy access to employment, quality schools, the promise of a better life.
These three virtual tours are a great way to get to know some of the architecture of the Valley.
The Valley was the perfect postwar canvas for entire neighborhoods of Ranch Houses, each with its distinct flavor but all evoking an image of rural living in the modern world.
Perched over the Valley are amazing feats of architecture and engineering designed by some of the biggest names in Modern architecture.
This 16-mile route is rich with twentieth-century San Fernando Valley lore and fascinating architecture to go along with it.
Curating the City: Modern Architecture in L.A. is part of Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. This collaboration, initiated by the Getty, brings together seventeen cultural institutions from April through July 2013 for a wide-ranging look at the postwar built environment of the city as a whole, from its famous residential architecture to its vast freeway network, revealing the city’s development and ongoing impact in new ways. Major support for this project has been provided by the Getty Foundation. pacificstandardtimepresents.org.

Rendell Park Koondoola not only features a great playground but also includes a fantastic bike track, complete with road markings and signage to give kids an "on the road" bike ride experience without the risk of traffic.
It's really good to see these bike tracks being incorporated into many of our new playgrounds. It provides a safe place for kids to ride or learn to ride and they can be used to teach kids about road rules in a fun and safe way.
The tracks wind around on the gentle slope above the playground area - with a gravel section at the top (complete with Gravel Road signage) for a bit of bmx action too.
The playground here isn't huge but features all the things kids love like slides, mini flying fox, stepping stones, fireman's pole, monkey bars, small spinning climbing frame and more.
A set of swings is located above the main playground.
A picnic table is located alongside the playground and there is seating right in the middle of the bike track so you can watch the kids go around and around. There are no toilets, water fountains or shade over the playground, however a lot of natives have been planted around the playground and bike track so we expect in years to come this will be a well naturally shaded playground.
It goes without saying that bringing along small bikes and scooters to your visit to Rendell Park Koondoola is a must. The park is bordered by the Koondoola Regional Bushland which features some lovely bush walks, so you might like to take in a nature walk after youtr play at the park. Parking at Rendell Park Koondoola is on the verge.

When we last took a look at a Sony device, it was still a joint partnership with Ericsson. Today we look at Sony's first foray into the Android world as a single company, the Xperia Ion. While this is the first Sony branded phone we get to review, we are certain it will not be the last. The Xperia Ion is a curious device sporting some decent specs on paper but has stiff competition from Samsung and HTC in Rogers' LTE lineup of phones. We'll see just how it stacks up in our review of the Sony Xperia Ion.
If there is any series that can match up historically with a known brand name like the iPhone or the Galaxy S series, it might as well be the Xperia line. The name carried by just about every Sony/Sony Ericsson phone is one of the few lines of phones that has maintained continuity in a volatile market.
With this lineage comes a design language that is distinctly Sony, from the very attractive Xperia Arc/Arc S to the Xperia Play and now the Xperia Ion, there is a familiar continuation in design language amongst all those devices.
This is not to say that there hasn't been any improvement or evolution from a design standpoint as the Xperia Ion is a pretty attractive piece of hardware. There has been significant improvement and a generally unique feel to the latest Xperia phones. While it doesn't have the unique quirks of the Xperia S or Xperia S, there is something about the stealthy fighter jet design of the Ion.
At 10.6mm thick and 144g heavy, the Xperia Ion is certainly a hefty and thicker device, especially at the 4.6 inch screen range of devices. When encroaching on these hummer phone sizes, thinness is especially important for overall ergonomics. While it felt okay in the pocket, it certainly felt quite substantial in the hand and not really in the good way. The expansive screen was significantly more difficult to reach than the similarly sized screens like that on the Galaxy S III and the HTC One X.
Other reviewers have criticized the overall looks of the Xperia Ion, but we feel that it is a very sleek, clean and stealthy design. The brushed metal unibody aluminium body of the phone makes it feel substantially more premium than the plastic construction of past devices. Unlike flagships of old like the Arc, the Xperia Ion has both looks and premium feel.
Knowing that Sony manufactured the screen on the HTC One X, our favorite display on any smartphone period, we had high hopes for the 4.6 Inch 720p display on the Xperia Ion. Being slightly smaller than the One X and Galaxy S III, this meant a higher density display on the Ion.
Unfortunately our hopes were slightly dashed, as the Sony Bravia "Reality Display" fell slightly short of the One X and the Galaxy S III. While it isn't a bad display by ANY stretch of the imagination, both HTC and Samsung's flagship phone have better displays.
Brightness, colors and sharpness were all top notch thanks to the Bravia engine enhancements which seem to crank up the three properties in videos, pictures and games. The problem with the Ion really come down to black levels and viewing angles. We really weren't satisfied with either as blacks looked almost charcoal and even reasonably angled viewing angles would wash out colors.
While these won't be deal breakers to some, it certainly puts the Ion at a significant disadvantage compared to the One X, Galaxy S III and even iPhone 4/4S/5. These problem were also exacerbated by the fact that Sony has inexplicably left out an ambient light sensor to auto regulate brightness. This was the case with the Arc that we reviewed last summer but really isn't acceptable at this point.
Overall, the Xperia Ion's screen has some very redeeming specs for multimedia usage, in fact it is probably the third best display on any Android device we've reviewed. We really liked the "HD Reality Display" and the "Bravia Engine". But sadly few will buy something because it is "third best".
It just sadly isn't the best of its class and part of having such lofty expectations has a lot to do with Sony's pedigree in the HDTV world. In a perfect world we would have had the laminated Sony Super LCD 2 display of the One X on the Ion but sadly that isn't the case.
We usually don't put much coverage about the buttons of a handset as most of the time it's nit picking or really like most times they work exactly as intended and become an afterthought. In this case, the hardware buttons were nice and responsive and a vast improvement over the overly small buttons of the Arc. We also loved the fact that the Ion came with a dedicated two stage camera buttons. However, the software buttons were, to be brutally honest, a nightmare.
First off, and probably the least of the Ion's problems is the fact that the capacitive buttons use the old style Menu, Home, Back and Search configuration. While we can probably forgive them for this oversight as this phone is probably one of the last vestiges of the Sony/Ericsson partnership and one built for use on Gingerbread.
What is unforgivable however, was the responsiveness of the capacitive buttons. Like other reviewers we had a maddening time using the capacitive buttons. They simply would not react to some touches. We believe the capacitive targets under the screen were simply too small to detect our finger's input.
The glaring problem is that other than the touchscreen itself, which was plenty responsive, the capacitive buttons are the part of the phone interacted with the most by the user. This meant that every time we used the phone we were reminded about how bad the capacitive buttons were.
This is all without mentioning that the icons don't even actually light up but rather have a band of light that appears under them. We are still perplexed as to how this serves any purpose as the light isn't needed in brightly lit situations and doesn't help the user see the icons in the dark.
At 1900mAh, the Ion has a pretty healthy battery compared to other smartphones. Considering it's using last year's tech and has an LTE modem, our first instincts were that it was going to need every bit of that battery to get through the day.
Like the Galaxy S II LTE and HD LTE, the Xperia Ion doesn't really have the best setup for battery efficiency, because the Dual-Core CPU in the Ion didn't include an integrated LTE modem in the designs. But unlike both Samsung's, Sony's offering doesn't have a power efficient Super AMOLED display to fall back on. Couple this with the fact that Sony didn't include an ambient light sensor to auto-adjust brightness and you have a scary recipe.
Fortunately, we still found we could get through a day pretty easily with moderate usage. The biggest factors were obviously the screen and the LTE modem, and taxing both simultaneous really can obviously take its toll on the battery.
Overall we were still more apprehensive than we needed to about the battery life, but considering the Xperia Ion uses a sealed in non-user replaceable battery, many will need to be more conscious about the power management of the Ion.
The Xperia Ion is, on paper, using "older" hardware, but as we saw in a device like the Galaxy S II HD LTE, it would be unfair to count it out before testing it.
While the S3 Dual Core Snapdragon is an iteration behind the latest S4 processors in other flagship devices, it's still a very capable chipset as see in our review of the Galaxy S II HD LTE. While the experience on the HD LTE was fast, smooth and fluid the Xperia Ion was a tale of two faces. For the sake of this review we have to let you, the reader, know that our Ion review unit was upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich midway through our review.
On one hand, the Xperia Ion launched with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which besides being unacceptable at this point, was a hot mess in terms of responsiveness. Swiping from homescreens, interacting with widgets, and even the app launcher was surprisingly unresponsive.
On the other hand, after the Ice Cream Sandwich, update the phone felt like a whole new device. scrolling was quick and responsive both in the homescreen and in the app launcher. Core apps were also sped up, like the browser which felt much smoother. More on that later in the review.
Whether it was on 2.3 or 4.0, gaming performance was pretty much identical (which was good for almost all games we played), and synthetic benchmarks didn't see much of an increase. So on that front that bodes well for the upcoming opening of the PlayStation Mobile store given that the Ion has PlayStation certification.
In our time with the Xperia Ion, loading speeds were quite good, constantly hovering at the 14-16mbps range. Nothing close to the 45mbps MobileSyrup had reported in their review but still solid numbers. While we saw better numbers on the One X and Galaxy S III there isn't much difference in real world usage that would makes users take pause.
Again, we have to remind our reader that these test were conducted in the Greater Montreal Metropolitan area under various signal conditions and that your experience may vary.
The loudspeaker, however, was disappointing. Even with the "xLoud" enhancements we felt like the smaller micro drilled holes were the reason that sound was not as good as we hoped. The high praises that the Xperia Play got with its stereo speaker setup is a far cry of the Ion's single speaker. Although to be fair, the Play was a device targeted at a different target audience.
One of the showstoppers of the Xperia Ion that could set it apart from the competitions is its 12 megapixel camera. While seasoned photography enthusiast know that megapixels don't really correlate with image quality, to the unknowing consumer it basically is the only well know spec.
But the number is just that a number, the real chops of the phone have everything to do with quality rather than the number pixels captured. In our testing we felt that the camera faired pretty well. But the huge pixel count betrays the camera and really sets unfair expectations.
In good lighting conditions, the Xperia Ion produced some nice looking shots. Colors reproduction was great, even with the default settings. No need to tweak settings, white balance, etc. In low light however, the Ion falls short of other flagship offerings despite the Exmor R sensor.
Overall, the Ion's camera is a decent performer, but leaves us disappointed compared to the One X and Galaxy S III. This leaves us scratching our heads a bit as Sony manufactures the sensors for the class leading iPhone 4S/5 and Galaxy S III.
In a weird and fateful twist, this is be a first for us at Android Bugle as this section will be a two pronged software section. One for the unacceptably late Gingerbread build and one for the more recent Ice Cream Sandwich build.
There isn't really too much to say about our time with the Xperia Ion on Android 2.3 Gingerbread other than slow and unresponsive. As we mentioned earlier in our hardware section, browsing, pinch zooming, navigating through the UI all felt like it was struggling to keep up with our finger input.
As far as looks are concerned, it looks just about the same as the UX interface we saw a year ago on the Xperia Arc when it was one of the first phone to come out with a Gingerbread and a Custom User Interface. So to know more about Sony specific interface changes and features additions, please check out our Xperia Arc Review.
Ice Cream Sandwich was such a stark difference to the version shipped initially with this devices that it warranted its own section. While in terms of aesthetics, the phone looked just about identical to the Gingerbread version, the experience was incredibly improved.
All the benefits of ICS make is feel like a new phone, from the improved performance to the availability of the Chrome browser Android 4.0 should have been the firmware that the Ion launched with but unfortunately didn't.
Performance in synthetic benchmarks didn't improve so much but we didn't expect it to blow us away either. The perceived improved responsiveness will however be more noticeable to the end user.
We hope that moving forward, Sony is more in control of its devices and strives to not only launch phone with a recent version of Android but will also stay ahead of the game in terms of upgrades.
We understand that this is a transition period for Sony as they move away from the partnership with Ericsson, so the Ion represents one the last vestiges of that partnership. But the Ion sadly followed the unfortunate footsteps of the Xperia X10 and came to market far later than it should have to be an appealing offering in an extremely competitive market.
Overall, the Xperia Ion is a good offering but, to borrow words from TechCrunch's review, it is punching above its weight class. From the last gen hardware to terrible capacitive keys to launching with Gingerbread, the Ion stumbles on these fronts. These are offset by a solid 720p screen, solid construction/build quality, fast LTE speeds and the fact that it has been upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
If you're a fan of Sony Ericsson phones, and I know there are many out there, the Ion is their best offering yet, especially after getting upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. But we have to urge people considering the Ion to wait for the upcoming Xperia T, as it will most probably best the Ion. Let's just hope it doesn't take as long as the Ion took to hit the market.
- Incredibly solid feeling and great build quality but a tad unwieldy and quite difficult for one handed use.
- Great 720p LCD display. Not SLCD2 or Super AMOLED HD but a close third.
- Good buttons are easily taken for granted, but the Ion reminded us (in a bad way) how important they are. Always good to see a hardware camera button.
- Last summer's hardware. Good LTE speeds.
- Not bad for an LTE device. Just about par. 1900mAh compensates decently for the separate LTE radio.
- Great overall sound in terms of a phone. Disappointing loudspeaker.
- Good camera experience. Betrayed by the high expectation of 12 megapixels and Exmor R sensor.
- Quite a bit different from stock Android but really doesn't build on it. Bring cohesive look to broken Gingerbread UI (moot improvement with ICS Upgrade). Our review was literally a tale of two phone, one with an awful experience on an way outdated OS and one experience that is reminiscent of 2012 in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
- Bravia Engine and PlayStation Certification are nice additions that set it apart form the competition.

I'm 62 years old and thinking of retiring. What are my health insurance options?
Home > Ask the Health Insurance Expert > I'm 62 years old and thinking of retiring. What are my health insurance options?
If you retire before age 65 — the point at which you become eligible to receive Medicare — you may face limited health insurance options. If your employer doesn't extend health benefits to its retirees, you'll have to find an alternative source of health insurance. And you may find you can't afford an individual health insurance policy because the premiums are based on your age and health status.
You can continue employer-sponsored group health insurance in two ways. If your employer offers health insurance for early retirees, you may decide to enroll. But make sure you know exactly what services are covered and for how long. Or you may decide to join your spouse's employer-sponsored health plan. It may be more cost-effective and offer better coverage.
To learn more about your choices, read Health insurance options for early retirees.

The drought has severely affected populations in South Somalia. Cattle and crops have been lost due to the extreme weather conditions and caused a massive loss of livelihoods. Meanwhile, food prices have dramatically increased, pushing thousands of people who cannot afford them into dire economic and nutritional conditions. As populations fled searching for food, water and sources of income for their families and their cattle, Al Shabaab’s decisions have exacerbated the problem. The insurgent group launched threats against populations crossing into Kenya, Ethiopia or TFG-controlled areas in South Somalia. Moreover, it maintained its ban on international humanitarian actors who could not reach the populations of concern. As a result, there are thousands of people in need of support being stranded in insurgent-controlled territories.
UNHCR proposes a fast, flexible and complementary intervention to those by other partners in south Somalia as a response to the drought and famine. UNHCR will focus its enhanced humanitarian interventions in two specific areas until the end of 2011, namely the distribution of emergency assistance packages (EAPs), and strengthened Population Movement Tracking / Protection Monitoring Network (PMT/PMN). These interventions will be implemented within the overall framework of the existing IASC coordination mechanism and recently initiated UNHCR-UNICEF-WFP Tripartite Response.
Through this proposal UNHCR aims to provide 12,000 EAPs to 72,000 persons in Southern Somalia, namely in Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabelle, out of a comprehensive strategy to distribute 35,000 EAP.

text: The Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana or The Little Quarter). The origins of this picturesque district, located beneath Prague Castle, date back to the mid-13th century. After the foundation of the town, the original settlers were replaced by colonists of mostly foreign nationalities. Charles IV extended the minor town of Prague with other plots of land but the town remained – thanks to several great fires as well as other events – more backward in respect of its economy than, and politically dependent on, the towns on the right bank of the Vltava. From the 16th century, feudalists and church elders, who gave this part of the city its present appearance – and not only an architectural one – gradually started to settle here. This quarter is just beneath the castle and is distinguished by the green of its gardens and orchards. The area is full of splendid palaces built by leading noble families and aristocrats. The Lesser Quarter Square is dominated by St. Nicholas Church, an example of the baroque style. Steep Nerudova Street leads to Prague Castle.

Are you at risk for heart disease? African American men, particularly those who live in the southeast, have the highest risk for this disease. Additionally, the American Heart Association reports that the prevalence of high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, in African Americans is the highest in the world. American Heart Month, which takes place in February each year, is a great time to consider becoming a cardiovascular technologist or technician to help address disparities in health care that contribute to such trends.
Since Lyndon B. Johnson signed the federal proclamation starting American Heart Month in 1964, deaths from cardiovascular diseases has dropped by almost 1 million per year. In 2014, President Barack Obama signed the 50th annual proclamation encouraging everyone to make their health a priority.
Programs like Million Hearts and Let’s Move have helped younger generations learn about healthy choices, and National Wear Red Day (Feb 3rd) celebrates women’s heart health each year. Support by the American Heart Association has increased awareness, education and medical research funding, in hopes that deaths by heart disease will continue to decrease.
If promoting heart health interests you, there are several career paths you could take. For one, you could consider becoming a cardiovascular technologist or technician. With a few years of higher education and a great job outlook, these technicians help physicians diagnose and treat cardiac and vascular problems. There are several areas to specialize in including invasive cardiology, cardiac sonography and vascular technology/sonography. Becoming a cardiovascular technologist or technician is a great way to get started on your health career ladder.

Some creators see their work outgrow them to become institutions of their own. Some have a hard time moving on to new projects or keeping up with their biggest hits. Not Robert Kirkman. The Walking Dead comic creator and Image Comics partner sat down at NYCC to talk about his multiplatform work as a creative and what lies ahead.
We know he’s animating Super Dinosaur for a still-unnamed outlet and adapting Invincible for Amazon, as well as creating myriad new comics while running his production company Skybound Entertainment. At New York Comic-Con on Thursday, Kirkman took the stage in front of a crowd of fans to talk about it all, and to reveal that his acclaimed Image series Outcast will begin its final arc later this year.
Titled "Last Days," the final story of Outcast, which pairs Kirkman with artist and co-creator Paul Azaceta, will begin December 19 with issue #37, bringing an end to the story of Kyle Barnes and his lifelong struggle with demons both literal and metaphorical.
"It's been a long road getting here--but I've said since the beginning Outcast was the first series I started where I had the ending planned before we began," Kirkman said in a press release dropped just as his panel began. "We've been building to what's coming since the very first issue and it's great to finally be at the point where we can tell this final epic storyline! Working with Paul has been an absolute thrill and I'm extremely proud of what we've done together over what will be a five year journey."
Image also revealed promo art for the "Last Days" arc, which you can check out below.
Kirkman followed the announcement by mentioning that Invinicible might make its big splash at Comic Con next year, then giving an optimistic mention of the troubled Telltale game. Then he finished up with the announcement that The Walking Dead's fourth compendium will be released in October of next year.

At the Pearce Institute in Govan the Govan Community Project community workers help asylum seekers access basic services; health, food-banks, shelter and support them with their asylum claims and appeals. I volunteered six weekly counselling sessions for the support workers. The sessions were a space to discuss their jobs, like supervision or any aspect of their lives. We felt that working with refugees would require a longer time than I had, but I was able those supporting others and that felt like a worthwhile offering.
Govan has always had international links through shipbuilding and now as a place of refuge.
