VH1 provided a bonus scene from episode 405 that shows us what happened between the fight at breakfast and the get together at the pool. Drita, Ang and Alicia were rehashing Renee and Natalie’s fight and I found it very interesting.<br /><br />The whole breakfast didn’t work out like they planned…what a surprise! This situation with all the fighting has gotten Drita riled up and made her want to jump in and throw someone down too, even though she had no issues with anyone. This is what we call an “anger management relapse.”<br /><br />Big Ang is pretty sure this is the end of the line for Natalie as the face of Mob Candy. Ang knows Renee pretty well and says this isn’t something she is going to just get over. “Renee doesn’t get over anything.” Maybe Ang doesn’t know Renee as well as she thinks, because later we see Renee calling Natalie, at the pool, trying to arrange a one on one sit down.<br /><br />Drita runs down the list of all the “shots” Natalie took at Renee, like a machine gun, but then ends with “Renee should get over it because Natalie didn’t put her hands on her first.” I don’t know about anyone else, but when someone insults me to the degree Natalie insulted Renee, there is no getting over it. Ang thinks that Natalie was able to get out what she had to say…maybe Renee didn’t?<br /><br />Drita, “the peacemaker,” thinks it’s best if they both relax and take their time. She adds that Renee needs to know that her “playing boss, gangster style” isn’t working for anyone. Drita thinks, over time, maybe they will be able to work it out, but not now.<br /><br />And finally Alicia chimes in with her two cents. When Drita says “I don’t come to Vegas everyday…” Alicia jumps in loud and clear! “That’s what I’m trying to say! I’m here for a good time, this isn’t the kind of vacation I’m used to. I just want to forget everything that’s going on back home (embezzlement, knock-off lawsuit, sentencing, etc) and enjoy myself. So can we at least go about our day and let them work it out? Let’s do something, let’s go to the pool.” I think this irks me most of all. Why? First of all, Alicia was the one who insisted on inviting Natalie along with them on the trip. She already knew Renee went ballistic on girl’s night out over the disrespect Natalie showed her. Why would she want to risk her “good time” by inviting her along before Renee and Natalie had a chance to work things out? It was a recipe for disaster from the start, and she knew it. Second of all, Alicia wasn’t even supposed to be there herself. There were travel restrictions placed on her by the judge. The judge did give her permission to go to West Virginia to her son’s dorm, to help him set up, period. The judge had no idea she was going to Vegas for a “good time.” It would seem she lied to the judge about her real travel intentions. So, she is the last person who has a right to complain about the situation in Vegas because either she brought it on herself OR she was given a “script” that said she was going to invite Natalie.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Have a look yourself and see what you think!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="background-color: black; width: 520px;"><div style="padding: 4px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="288" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:991314/cp~channelId%3D3%26id%3D1719792%26vid%3D991314%26instance%3Dvh1%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A991314" width="512"></iframe></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 4px; text-align: left;">Get More: <a href="http://www.vh1.com/shows/mob_wives/season_4/series.jhtml" style="color: #439cd8;" target="_blank">Mob Wives (Season 4)</a></div></div></div>

You'll hear a lot of talk about "apps." Apps are applications. Think of them as software programs customized for your tablet.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">They are available through an already installed app you'll find on your tablet. It's the "App Store" on iPads or the "Google Play" on Android tablets. Microsoft calls its the "Windows Store."</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">As time goes on, you'll find the apps that get the tablet to do what you want it to do. Right now, here are 10 to get you started. I've tried to balance three considerations — usefulness, the wow factor, and unlocking your tablet's possibilities.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-earth/id293622097" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-earth/id293622097">Google Earth</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">There is perhaps no app with a greater Gee Whiz factor. Google Earth is a massive collection of satellite photos, seamlessly stitched together. The result?

Poke around and you can even find the International Space Station, 200 miles up.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flipboard-your-social-news/id358801284?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flipboard-your-social-news/id358801284?mt=8">Flipboard</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">One thing you'll quickly discover is that there's a lot of stuff out there to read! What you really need, though, is a way to easily read the news you choose. This is a delightful and easy-to-use app that brings together the news sources you select as well as Facebook posts, Instagram photos, YouTube videos and anything else you'd like, all in a fun and responsive magazine format.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id302584613" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id302584613">Kindle</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">For regular book reading, there's no cleaner reader than the Kindle app. It's available on every platform you can think of, including smartphones. And the Kindle reader keeps your place for you, too, no matter what you're reading it on.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netflix/id363590051?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netflix/id363590051?mt=8">Netflix</a> or <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hulu-plus/id376510438?l=es&mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hulu-plus/id376510438?l=es&mt=8">Hulu</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">Those beautiful screens are there for a reason. Netflix and Hulu give you great movies and TV shows to watch on them. Netflix requires a streaming subscription; the movie selection is so-so, but the TV back catalog is pretty extensive. Hulu has some free stuff for casual users; its subscription service unlocks a lot of good films and a big array of TV shows too, including recent episodes of Saturday Night Live, the Daily Show, and Law & Order.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evernote/id281796108?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evernote/id281796108?mt=8">Evernote</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">Evernote takes your notes and puts them in the cloud, so they're accessible from any other device you care to sync to it. Text, photos, and even audio, Evernote can handle it. If you are trying to get organized, this will help you make it happen.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-iphone/id304878510?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-iphone/id304878510?mt=8">Skype</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">You might have heard about "Skyping," but might not understand exactly what that means. Skype is a quick and easy way to have video chats with friends and family all over the word. Best of all, your calls are free. Download the app and sign up for an account. Then start hunting for friends!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8">Photoshop Express</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">Tablets are a great place to edit pictures. All you need is a good app to work with. Adobe's Photoshop Express does the job. It's a (very) lite but extremely useful version of its famous high-end product, Photoshop. You'll find it gives you the tools you need to lighten backgrounds, adjust colors and crop photos.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sketchbook-express/id404243625?mt=12" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sketchbook-express/id404243625?mt=12">Sketchbook Express</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">Tablets can showcase the artist inside all of us. Right now, it seems many of the most acclaimed drawing and painting apps work on Apple products with one exception. Sketchbook Express, available for both Apple and Android tablets, has a dense palette of brushes, colors and textures to work with, all from the moves of your fingers on the tablet's purchase. It's great for artists of all ages.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/battery-saver-improve-battery/id615987910?mt=8" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/battery-saver-improve-battery/id615987910?mt=8">Battery Saver</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">One of the biggest drains on the battery is your tablet's bright high-definition screen. Keeping the screen slightly dimmed can add hours of battery life. You'll also want to turn off your gadget's wireless communications when you don't need them. That includes cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth signals, which are constantly roaming and eating into battery life. Use a free app like Battery Saver, to sniff out power-hogging apps and programs.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;"><i>Kim Komando hosts the nation's largest talk radio show about consumer electronics, computers and the Internet.
