Authorities say a semi driver suffered a heart attack prior to plowing his trailer into five parked vehicles and crashing into a truck stop Saturday.
Fifty-year-old Douglas Shepard of Hazelton, Iowa died later at an area hospital.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office says the trailer was headed south on Highway 51 when it veered into a ditch on the right side of the road, careening through a parking lot until it smashed into the TA Travel Center in the Town of Burke.
An 11-year-old male relative who was with him suffered minor injuries.
An 18-year-old Merril woman in one of the five vehicles hit suffered minor injuries.

Eubank firefighters battle another blaze at old school
By HEATHER TOMLINSON, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Eubank —
Fire officials are investigating a suspicious fire in northern Pulaski County that harkens back to a rash of blazes that took place in the same area last winter.
Eubank Volunteer Fire Department Chief Norman Rutheford said his department responded to a report of a fire at the old 7th grade building located in the same area as the Eubank High School — a historic landmark that was completely destroyed by a suspicious blaze in December 2011.
"I'll say someone set a fire there (at the old 7th grade building) because there's no electric there and it was in the middle of the building," said Rutheford. "It's sort of funny and really suspicious."
The 7th grade facility, long since unused, was renovated into a home, Rutheford said, but he said the building is unoccupied.
Firefighters responded to the report of the fire at around 7:20 a.m. Monday and stayed on the scene for an hour and a half to two hours.
"We knocked the fire down pretty quick," Rutheford said. "We contained it to the room it was in ... there was smoke damage to the entire structure but it wasn't a total loss."
Monday's blaze marked the first time the department had responded to a suspicious blaze since January, when they were kept busy for more than a month with reports of early-morning fires at area businesses and at the Eubank High School.
The Eubank Fire Department responded to as many as seven or eight fires in the month of December 2011 alone, including the Eubank High School fire and a fire at East Anderson Hardwoods. Firefighters had responded to several smaller fires at the school in the weeks leading up to the massive blaze that claimed the beloved landmark as the Eubank community watched.
Eubank firefighters also responded to a second fire at east Anderson Hardwoods in early January of this year and to a blaze at Barron Pallets, Inc. in mid-January. Along with those, firefighters had also responded to several house fires, including one at a vacant home on North Ky. 1247 that was also being investigated as an arson.
Rewards were even offered for information on some of the fires and state and local arson investigators have been investigating the fires.
But since then, the suspicious blazes had all but stopped.
Rutheford said it's impossible right now to tell if Monday's fire — which happened several hours after the earlier suspicious blazes had been set — is connected to this winter's fires.
The Somerset Fire Investigation Team has been called in to investigate.


text: "Col. Bogey's March" from the 1957 Academy Award winning film "Bridge On The River Kwai" starring, among others, Alec Guiness as Col. Bogey was derived from a song originally composed by Kenneth Alford in 1914. The music was used during WW II with derisive lyrics added to it aimed at Adolph Hitler. Film composer Malcolm Arnold added a counter-melody to it and this was used for the march in the film itself. Mitch Miller, then head of the music department for Columbia Records, recorded the song with his orchestra and it went into the Top 20 on the pop charts early in 1958.

SYRACUSE — A Malone man faces between 10 years and life in prison on drug convictions.
A jury found Allan Peters, 42, guilty Jan. 30 in U.S. District Court in Syracuse of conspiracy to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana.
The conviction, announced by U.S. Attorney Richard S. Hartunian, came after a four-day trial before U.S. District Court Judge Glenn T. Suddaby in Syracuse.
Peters is scheduled to be sentenced on July 10 in Syracuse.
He faces a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison and a $10 million fine.
During the trial, the government offered evidence that, from at least 2005 through 2011, Peters and many others smuggled thousands of pounds of marijuana into the United States and sent millions of dollars in drug proceeds back to Canada.
The conspirators used property controlled by Peters in Snye, Quebec, on the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation as a staging area for hockey bags of marijuana being smuggled into the United States, the U.S. Attorney's Office and Drug Enforcement Agency said.
The bags, which normally contained 100 to 200 pounds of marijuana, were then transported into the United States.
Law-enforcement officers confiscated marijuana from the smuggling organization on three occasions.
On May 8, 2009, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol seized about 250 pounds of marijuana in North Hudson.
On Sept. 15, 2010, Tribal Police Services and State Police seized approximately 240 pounds of marijuana after a high-speed chase from the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian Reservation to Malone.
On March 1, 2011, Akwesasne Mohawk Police Services and the U.S. Border Patrol seized around 100 pounds of marijuana in Hogansburg.
The investigation and prosecution of Peters was the result of a joint investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration; Homeland Security Investigations; Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations; State Police; St. Regis Tribal Police; Akwesasne Mohawk Police; and the district attorneys of Franklin and Clinton counties.

In Memory of Henry Kellen, Board Member
It is with profound sadness that we note the passing today of Mr. Henry Kellen, former member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Kellen served on the Board from April 1998 and was dedicated to the success and growth of the Burnham Wood Family of Charter Schools. He gave generously of his time, knowledge and experience, and the charter schools were privileged and honored to have his support. The Board is grateful for Mr. Kellen's unwavering advocacy for quality educational opportunities for all El Pasoans. Mr. Kellen was a Holocaust survivor who tirelessly educated the community about the Holocaust as a compelling speaker and intrepid founder of the El Paso Holocaust Museum. In the 1980′s, working with the late co-founder of the Burnham Wood Charter School, Mr. Howard Burnham, Mr. Kellen started the museum in the conference room of the El Paso Jewish Community Center where Mr. Burnham served as Executive Director. From this humble but inspired beginning came the establishment of the present day Holocaust Museum, a monument to Mr. Kellen's determination to ensure that generations to come never forget the horror of the Holocaust. His efforts and legacy have fostered greater understanding and appreciation of our common humanity and dignity. We express our deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Kellen. His words and actions touched many lives for the better, and we join our fellow El Pasoans in mourning the loss of this distinguished man.
2014-2015 Enrollment Continues
The Burnham Wood Family of High Performing Schools continues to accept enrollment for the 2014-2015 School Year to all residents of El Paso County. The schools, Da Vinci School for Science & the Arts, Howard Burnham Elementary School, and Vista del Futuro Elementary School, will be hosting Open Houses throughout the Spring and Summer Months.
Next year, the Vista del Futuro Elementary School will add a sixth grade. According to Superintendent, Iris Burnham, many parents have expressed an interest in their children attending a small, high performing 6th grade rather than sending them to a large, overwhelming middle school.
The Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts serves grades 5-12.This outstanding STEAM Academy(Emphasizing science, technology, engineering, arts and math) has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top high schools in the nation!
Your child can attend our schools. There is no tuition. These are public, charter schools. Give your student an opportunity to achieve in a world class learning environment. Applications are available here as well as at any of the school offices. Join us for an Open House to learn more about the schools and get a tour! Our next Open House will be at Howard Burnham Elementary on July 30th at 5:30pm and at the Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts on August 6th at 5:30pm!
Superintendent's Message
It's Sweet Sixteen for the El Paso Education Initiative, Inc.
Having completed our Quincenera year (2012-2013) our schools have met the challenges laid before them with success. All of our campuses have met AYP (Average Yearly Progress). Vista del Futuro, our relatively new elementary campus on the Eastside of El Paso, received distinctions in Reading, Math and Progress. On the new and unfamiliar state assessments (STAAR) all schools demonstrated high performance in the reading and math areas. Of particular note are the exceptionally high passing rates on the various End of Course tests our Da Vinci students earned. We must also mention that 100% of our eleventh graders taking the TAKS Exit tests passed all Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies components.
While we do not want to teach to a test, we recognize the reality of being judged by how well our students perform on these new instruments. Our strategy has been to conduct several benchmark tests throughout the year, so we can track each student's progress and monitor those who need more assistance. Working with testing data has refined teachers' instruction and prevented students from falling through the cracks. With the support of our parents and the cooperation and the acceptance by our students, we came out on top!
Nevertheless, our teachers have not turned away from the enrichment activities, as well as the project based learning activities that make school so much fun. In addition, we have added a number of clubs and opportunities for students to be creative and excel in areas such as Lego robotics, Suzuki violin, Latin, Piano, Student Council, and much more. Along with these new activities are competitions that have brought our teams awards and recognition. Consequently we have had invitations to travel to regional and state level contests, particularly in robotics and engineering. Unfortunately these opportunities require extensive fundraising that often place a burden on our families' budgets and the students' time. For these reasons, we must reach out to the greater community and tell them about the wonderful opportunities our charter schools are offering El Paso children free of charge. We need them to partner up with our campuses in order to lend the extra support that helps us shine and compete.
As we enter our sixteenth year, we hope to light those celebratory candles so that our community will be drawn to the accomplishments of this small, nonprofit organization, and will join us as Advisory Board members and generous donors to the many worthwhile projects we hope to execute. For example our new robot is waiting for a name and a sponsor. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to put the name for an El Paso business/donor on our student designed robot that is destined, as they have in the past, to travel to the Dallas Regionals and play its little wires out in some soon to be revealed competition?
What about our talented and enthusiastic performers who desire nothing more than to find venues where they might display their music, dance and art? Then there are our Da Vinci high school students looking for community internships that will spark their career interests and hopefully keep them in El Paso after they complete their education. How many businesses are out there that will see the light of those sixteen candles and open their hearts to them? We are hopeful and excited for the outcomes.
El Paso Education Initiative Inc.- a 501c3 nonprofit organization- is the charter holder for three high performing, public, charter schools – Howard Burnham Elementary, Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts, and Vista del Futuro Elementary. We are committed to providing our students with the best education in a nurturing, safe environment.
Our mission is to work in solid partnership with the family and community in order to prepare children to accept responsibility for their own learning. We offer students a framework that encourages lifelong learning through skills building, creativity, a sense of self-worth, and ethical values necessary to survive and grow in an ever-changing, diverse, global, society.
We provide a rigorous, integrated curriculum with an Arts, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) focus. This model allows students the necessary time to develop intellectually, socially, and artistically. Classes are small and our teachers promote a personalized learning environment that advances our core values: respect, responsibility, quality of self and work. Instruction includes:
- Phonics-Based Reading Program
- Self-Paced and Mastery-Based Instruction
- Cooperative Learning
- Enrichment Programs
- Pre AP & Advanced Placement Courses in MiddleSchool and High School
- Optional Suzuki Violin and Piano lessons
- Double Math Periods
- Robotics and Engineering
- Graphic Design and Media
- Dual High School and College Credit
- Community Service and Internships Performing Arts classes: guitar, strings, band, dance, choir
- Visual Arts

My case is Joe Mauer's case. He drove in eighty five runs this year with only 10 home runs.
Was it better for Joe to hit 25 home runs and drive in eighty five?
What makes hitting the long ball better? You accomplish the same objective by singles or doubles.
Joe Mauer hit for power....what a line, only one year in his career....gotta stop this. Ha. So why is he expected to put up power numbers now?

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of the people in this town who made my election to the town board possible.
The Oneonta town Democratic committee, as well as friends and neighbors of all political parties, came together to show their support and worked very hard to make our ideals for the democratic process in this town a reality.
For all of those who helped with the bake and garage sales and otherwise contributed their time and resources to help with our campaign, I cannot thank you enough. For those who went door-to-door, night after night, and gave up their weekends and free time, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication. I truly could not have done this without you.
To the townspeople who elected me, I promise to do my best to represent all that this town stands for by listening to your concerns and working hard to protect and grow the Oneonta that we love.

Monday practice news
A lot of news from Monday's pracitce at Haslem Field:
1, Jonathan Crompton named starter at quarterback by coach Lane Kiffin. This comes as no surprise to me or anyone else who watched practice on a regular basis. Crompton got almost all the work with the number ones and Nick Stephens just didn't do enough to justify passing him by.
2, Josh McNeil was absent to consult with a knee specialist. The senior center is hurting and it remains to be seen when, or even if, he'll be back to try to hold on to his job at center.
3, Gerald Jones was on crutches, his sprained left ankle in a boot. Jones was hurt in the scrimmage on Saturday at Neyland Stadium. A very best-case-scenario outlook would bring him back for UCLA on Sept. 12. I wouldn't bet the ranch on it, though.
McNeil, if healthy and able to fend off Cody Sullins, is the guy who would snap the ball to Crompton on every play. Jones is the leading target Crompton would be looking for downfield. In short, a double dose of bad news.
Monday was another hard day's work. The Vols wore helmets, shoulder pads and shorts but, naturally, had several extremely physical periods of 11 on 11 work. The defense, in my opinion, carried the day. Early on several defenders delivered some hard licks. Toward the end of practice, the offense didn't look sharp at all while the defensive guys were showing a lot of chatter and aggressiveness.
The last drill was a long-drive session in which the No. 1 offense stays on the field for 10 or so plays, then the No. 2 offense does likewise. There wasn't a lot of execution in the passing game. The orange shirts were worn down and gasping for breath by the final horn. That's how Kiffin planned it, to get some good conditioning in what amounted to the fourth quarter.
Rod Wilks moved over from safety to receiver to help with depth while Jones is out. Wilks, a redshirt freshman, was third-string at safety so receiver may be a better chance to get on the field (aside from special teams).
Short hits: Montori Hughes and Wes Brown were the No. 1 defensive tackles.... Bryce Brown had some impressive runs, as did Montario Hardesty..... Nu'Keese Richardson made an acrobatic catch on a Nick Stephens deep ball that brought a smile to offensive coordinator Jim Chaney's face....Art Evans spent the most time at corner opposite Anthony Anderson with the No. 1 secondary. Marsalous Johnson was seen stretching but I didn't notice him in any live work against the offense.
Thanks for the informative updates.

The Path to Citizenship Is Paved With New Taxes
Homeland Security secretary says path to legalization would largely pay for itself.
Immigration reform, including a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, doesn't have to come with a big price tag, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said this morning. Why? Because the path to legalization can be paved with fees, fines and taxes.
There are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, and bringing them "out of the shadows" will require registration, getting their biometric information and running background checks on them, Napolitano said. Speaking to a press breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor, Napolitano said that as her department has looked at the potential cost "in terms of advising the White House, there are ways to deal with" the cost of that process "without getting a big number that [the Congressional Budget Office] would have to score."
[See a collection of political cartoons on immigration.]
"They'll need to pay a fee, they'll need to pay a fine—they need to get right with the law. They did break the law," she said. "So some of this will be fee based." She also cited port inspector fees as another potential revenue stream.
It all raises the question—only half facetiously—of how long before people on the right start complaining that any immigration reform bill is a giant tax hike.
Of course, as the Center for American Progress reported last week, the newly legalized residents of this country will produce a big tax windfall—as much as $184 billion between federal and state taxes—as they enter the economy on a solid basis.

Using CompactFlash Cards in Your Embedded Linux System
When designing embedded systems, the designer has many choices to make. If you sell thousands of units, you spend lots of time designing around the most inexpensive parts you can find. You design custom circuit boards and search high and low for the best components that you can get for the cheapest price.
If you build only one or two units, the time and cost needed to design the perfect circuit board and find the best parts can eat up the entire budget for your product. In this case, off-the-shelf parts are the best choice.
Most of my projects are for one or two units, so I'm always looking for inexpensive items I can use. The 25¢ MP3 playing chip that can only be bought in lots of 10,000 doesn't help me at all. If there was a $25 chip that I could get in single quantities, I might be interested.
I am an amateur radio operator and a member of the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio organization (TAPR). This organization is dedicated to the support and advancement of amateur radio digital communications by providing publications, meetings and electronic kits. I recently purchased a couple of IDE CompactFlash adapters from them (see Figure 1). This product is a circuit board that allows you to use standard CompactFlash memory cards as an IDE device in a PC.
If you have a digital camera or a portable MP3 player, you might have seen a CompactFlash card (see Figure 2). My Nikon digital camera uses these cards to store images. The cards contain between 2MB and 192MB of Flash memory. Flash memory is read/write memory that does not lose its contents when the power is disconnected.
When building an embedded system based on the Linux operating system, the first problem to solve is how to boot the operating system. It might be possible to purchase an ISA or PCI card that has ROM on it and place your code in these ROMs. I haven't tried this because I haven't found affordable boards to do this.
You could use a floppy drive or hard drive in your embedded device, but I've found that anytime you can reduce the number of moving parts, you increase reliability. These drives also draw a lot of current and generate heat, so they could cause other problems.
Using the TAPR CompactFlash adapter would let you boot the operating system off of a CompactFlash card. These cards aren't terribly expensive, and they are very small. They have no moving parts, so they could be a good solution for embedded projects.
For this article, I show how to build a Linux system on the CompactFlash card. When you boot this system, it starts up a web server. Of course, I have bigger plans for the future, but there just isn't enough room in this article.
The CompactFlash adapter has three connectors and one jumper. It has an IDE connector, a CompactFlash card connector and a power connector. The jumper is used to make this device the master or slave IDE device. It is very easy to install in a system. I used a development system to build the software and a target system to test and run the software. I installed the CompactFlash adapter on the secondary IDE connector of my development box. It is configured as the master device on this controller, so Linux will see the CompactFlash adapter as /dev/hdc on my development box. My development box has a hard drive for the /dev/hda device that has Mandrake Linux 7.2 on it. Almost any Linux distribution should work, though. I also have an IDE CD-ROM on my development system that is the /dev/hdb device on the primary IDE controller.
I am using a 32MB CompactFlash card for my device, but if you want to duplicate my results from this article, an 8MB card will work. The CompactFlash will be used when the target system boots, so it would need to be device /dev/hda on the target. It should be connected to the primary IDE controller and configured as a master device. In this application, it is the only IDE device in the target system. You could connect other needed devices.
If your BIOS supports autodetection of drive parameters, it should detect the card. If it doesn't, you'll have to enter parameters for the cylinders, heads and sectors. Check the TAPR web site for some example parameters you can use. Make sure that you do not install or remove a CompactFlash card while the system is powered on. This could cause data corruption. At the very least, it will confuse the operating system if a device disappears or appears with no warning.
My target system will have an NE2000-compatible Ethernet card in it. Make sure you have the proper drivers for the network card you have in your target system. If you installed the driver as a module, you'll need to modify the /etc/init.d/rcS file also.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

For The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — After chalking up its first win last week aganst the Indiana School for the Deaf, Anderson Preparatory Academy used a balanced attack to grab a 50-0 home win against Traders Point Christian.
The Jets (2-4) took their first offensive possession to the house on a Triston Anderson to Leo Harris 22-yard touchdown pass, and from there the route was on as the Jets got four scores on the ground and two through the air.
No APA runner had more than seven carries, with D'Andre Patterson leading all rushers with two carries for 87 yards. Both of his carries went for touchdowns from 25 and 62 yards, respectively.
Harris shredded the Golden Eagles' defense by catching six passes for 125 yards, including touchdowns of 22 and 33 yards, and Anderson threw for 142 yards and two scores with no picks.
To make the win more special, the Jets were able to beat Traders Point (0-6) during their homecoming night, and coach Joe Kwisz said that his team put together a complete game.
"Homecoming, what a great thing," he said after the game. "Last year, we kind of had a rough run at it during our homecoming, but tonight the guys got after it from play one. We have a saying here, 'play one to play done' is what we go by, and tonight they really did."
Kwisz said despite the fact Anderson had never thrown a football until last year and Harris is in his first year of football, they are now hitting their stride, and it is paying off for APA.
"He's a very tough kid to cover. He's wiry, we call him," Kwisz said of Harris. "He (has) a really quick first step, able to get separation, get up field and get vertical, and Triston, my goodness, the kid throws a phenomenal football. Funny thing is, he never threw a ball until last year."
Caston McConnell and Patterson are the thunder and lightning duo for the Jets. McConnell is the tough fullback, while Patterson has lightning quick speed to break open the long touchdown carries, and both were on full display under Friday night's lights.
"He's a banger, he's a fullback kind of guy," Kwisz said of McConnell. "Then you mix it up with the 1-2 punch, and your next handoff is through the same hole with D'Andre who makes one cut and before you know it is doing the end-zone dance. He's a fast kid, and he's got moves you want to watch. You want to sit in the stands and watch him sometimes because he's one of those special kids."
APA also got scoring runs from Robert Glazebrooks, Quincy Bush and Clayton Myers to round out the scoring.
The Jets scored 44 of their 50 points in the first half, with their lone second-half touchdown coming on the 62-yard run from Patterson. They also held Traders Point to 75 yards of total offense.

Corsica Climate & Weather
Corsica Climate and Weather
Corsica features a Mediterranean climate which is characterised by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters with the north of the island being hotter than the south, and the east wetter than the west. The weather is influenced by the winds and the temperature is moderated by the mountains. Average summer daytime temperatures reach around 77°F (25°C) and can climb to as high as 95°F (35°C) in July and August. The inland, mountainous areas are much colder in the winter than the coast and although frost is rare on the coast it is fairly common inland, as is snow. For this reason, some of the hiking trails are only open in the summer months. In spring and autumn there can be strong winds and between November and May the sea is generally considered too cold for swimming.
The best time to visit Corsica is in the warmer months between June and September as it would be a pity to miss out on the beautiful beaches and some of the famous hiking trails. However, as with most of France, Corsica can get crowded in August, which is the hottest month and the time when the French have their national holiday.

Super fun week testing during the 3rd annual Punta Sayulita Longboard & SUP Classic
Back from Mexico after a super fun week for the 3rd annual Punta Sayulita Longboard & SUP classic! It was by far one of the best events I have been to and I am looking forward to going back next year. The event included everything from SUP & longboard surfing to a technical elite SUP race, a 10k distance race & a 2.2k race.
I got 1st in the long distance race, 2nd in the elite race and 4th in the Women's SUP surfing event. It was the perfect opportunity to test out some of my new Oakley activewear & sunglasses from the Spring 2012 Perform Beautifully Collection, which I LOVE! I am so excited to be an ambassador for the Perform Beautifully Collection and I was blown away by the quality of the clothes, how great they fit and function and especially, how cute they look. I'm really digging the colors of the line, they're so vibrant and fun!
My favorite piece was the Extend Top, it was perfect for paddling and surfing, dried quickly when wet and still looked cute to wear to lunch or just hang out at the beach. I wore the Continuity Bra to race in and it did it's job, staying on, even in all the crazy surf! I also really liked the Swirl shorts, Taylor wrap & of course the glasses! I tested out the new Underspin in polarized, the Daisy Chain and I raced in the Radar Straight Stem. Looking forward to getting back to Kona and putting the rest of training line to use!

I was happy with this rug. I was trying to find a large rug on the cheap side, just something to cover the floor. I was actually surprised by the quality for the price.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Unfortunately, we had to return this rug. After only a couple weeks of use in a low-traffic room, it was showing signs of serious distress, including significant pulls in different places. It was just too thin -- more like a blanket than a rug. We exchanged it for a thicker rug from RUGS USA and have been very happy (and we were happy with the customer service on the return). But the flatwoven one did not not hold together.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Great color and the fabric is very good I like the size for my room was delivered fast and in a timely mannerRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Beautiful rug made of high quality material. I am so glad I came across this company. I have already placed a second order for more rugs!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The color is true to the 'enlarge' view. It's a nice and simple rug. The delivery was on time and the price was great! Overall, satisfied with the purchase, quality and timeliness.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
beautiful rug-- used it for my son's room and received so many compliments! not very thick but great for aesthetic purposes.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Nice quality at an affordable price. Would definately buy again.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Exactly what I expected a light weight cotton rug, handsome and comfortable under foot.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Very nice rug, however it's more like a blanket. I put it under a bed and it looks great. I don't think it would do well in high traffic areas as the weave would probably pull easily.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
More of a blanket than a rug. Very VERY thin. The weave is loose, so it will snag. I'm using it in a baby room on carpet and for that purpose it works. If it was on a hardwood floor it would slide all over the place, even with a pad, which you would see. It attracts dirt very easily. But I think you could probably throw it in the wash. I have it in yellow and the white design gets lost on it, it's a bit lighter and less saturated in person.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Love it. I think that color's great (yellow) and I love the flatweave. Seems durable enough and it was a great deal. I'm very please overall.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
really great rug. Very pleased. Color was just as pictured. I would recommend this to anyone. No small when opened, just perfect.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I needed a rug for my son's room and this has worked out well. The blue is rich and the white is a nice contrast.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The rug is actually very nice. Unfortunately, it came with a large (12" x 6") black stain in the corner. Rather than go through the hassle if returning it, I tried cleaning it and luckily was able to arrange it so that a piece of furniture hid the stain. Still a nice rug.
Very soft and rather thin but he pattern is really pretty. Hard to vacuum but can't really beat the price.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Carpet looks a little more brown in person then I expected & the carpet is very thin.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
At first I was a little worried that for the great price (I got it on sale), the quality of this rug would be a little questionable. I decided that it was worth the risk. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! I am using this rug in my son's nursery. The rug is a soft cotton, very nice underfoot, and perfect for a little one to crawl around on! I can also see this working nicely on wood floors. I can't speak to the colors staying true over time, or that the white will stay clean, but I have had the rug for a month and have had no qualms. I would say that the shade of blue is somewhere between navy and royal blue. The white is bright; a true white. Great rug for an excellent buy!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I really like this rug! It lays flat and feels great under my feet (I have it in my kitchen). With a rugpad underneath it it doesn't slip at all, either. My friend has the same one in her apartment, and after seeing it I had to buy it for myself!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
beautiful! better than expected, very soft and easy to clean.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First impressions from Kauffman Stadium ...
The atmosphere is great already and we're still hours away from tonight's Home Run Derby. Heck, the gates haven't even opened yet. The Parking lots are full of tailgaters. Jerseys from around MLB are being sported, but the crowd, in the parking lot anyway, is overwhelmingly a Kansas City crowd.
The stadium looks great. This isn't a surprise; Kauffman Stadium is one of the best and most beautiful parks in the big leagues. But to see it dolled up in its Sunday (Monday) best is something else.
It's hot. Yeah, shocking. The temperature may have dropped from the triple-digit highs we had last week, but it's still a humid oven out there.
Check back later for more. Hoping to talk to some Joplin-area fans who made the trip up for the Derby.

- Great subs Review by AcuDefTechGuy
- Nice Sub Review by AcuDefTechGuy
I prefer unpowered active subs because I like to use my own amps. I say "active" because the crossover (in the AVR) comes before the amp, which by definition makes all subs active whether they are powered or unpowered.
The output is very adequate and bass quality seems tight. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the low profile unpowered high quality sub. (Posted on 10/7/12)

A global producer and supplier of primary aluminium, alumina, nickel and manganese ore and alloys, with operations on three continents.
Our aluminium business has a portfolio of assets in three stages of the primary aluminium value chain: mining bauxite, refining bauxite into alumina and smelting alumina into aluminium metal. We are one of the world's largest integrated producers with operations in South America, Southern Africa and Australia.
Aluminium is a widely used non-ferrous metal with demand driven by end use consumption in transportation, packaging, construction and household items.
Our nickel business is one of the world's largest nickel miners, the fifth largest refined nickel producer and a global supplier of nickel to the stainless steel industry. We have two producing assets located in Australia and Colombia.
Austenitic stainless steel, or nickel-containing stainless steel, promotes a more stable and ductile structure that contributes to corrosion resistance. This product is instrumental to many industries including architecture, transport, aerospace, medical and heavy industries as well as chemical processing and energy applications. Nickel is also an essential element in many non-stainless steel applications like specialty alloys, foundry, chemicals and refractory material industries.
Our manganese business has two producing assets located in Australia and South Africa and is a world leader in the seaborne supply of manganese ore and a global producer of manganese alloy.
Manganese is an indispensable element in the manufacturing of steel, which in turn is an essential material in many industries including construction and transportation. Its use in the steel making process results in increased strength, resistance and machinability.
Daniel was appointed President Aluminum, Manganese and Nickel in May 2013. Previously he was the President of Minerals Exploration, a position he held from July 2012. He worked for the Company between 1996 and 1998 in BHP Copper in the USA and has held a number of roles in the Base Metals business since he rejoined BHP Billiton in 2002.

Daniel has a Civil Industrial Engineering degree from the University of Chile and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).
Our Hillside and Bayside smelters are located at Richards Bay, South Africa. The operation is fully owned and operated by BHP Billiton.
Hillside is one of the world's most advanced and efficient aluminium smelters, produces high quality primary aluminium and it is the largest producer of standard aluminium ingots in the southern hemisphere.
Bayside is the only producer of value-added primary aluminium products in Southern Africa that is all used for the local market.
Cerro Matoso is the world's second largest producer of ferronickel and one of the lowest cost producers. Located near the town of Montelíbano in northern Colombia, the Asset combines a lateritic nickel ore deposit with a low cost ferronickel smelter. The smelter produces high-purity, low-carbon ferronickel granules.
The mining operation at Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO) extracts high-grade manganese ore using open-cut, strip mining methods. GEMCO accounts for more than 15 per cent of the world's high-grade ore production with approximately 70 per cent of its production exported around the globe.
Tasmanian Electro Metallurgical Company (TEMCO) is a ferroalloy smelter located 50 kilometres north of Launceston at Bell Bay on the coast of Tasmania, Australia. The operation remains the only manganese ferroalloy plant in Australia and produces high-carbon ferromanganese, silicomanganese and sinter.
Wessels is an underground mine of hydro-thermally enriched manganese ore of a high grade. The variety in grade of ores enables Manganese to offer a range of products suitable for all applications.
Mamatwan is an opencast operation. The ore lends itself to technologically advanced beneficiation processes.
Metalloys is located in Meyerton, roughly 55 kilometres south of Johannesburg, South Africa. With three large electric furnaces, and a forth being constructed, Metalloys produces high-carbon and medium-carbon ferromanganese.
The Mozal aluminium smelter in Mozambique is a joint venture in which BHP Billiton has a 47.1 per cent interest. Our partners include Mitsubishi Corporation (25 per cent), Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited (24 per cent) and the Government of Mozambique (3.9 per cent). Mozal produces standard aluminium ingots.
Nickel West is a fully integrated mine to market business comprising mines, concentrators, a smelter and refinery. All our Nickel West Operations are in Western Australia and include:
The Asset consists of two operations in Western Australia – a mine (Boddington) and a refinery (Collie). BHP Billiton owns 86 per cent of the Boddington bauxite mine and Worsley alumina refinery in a joint venture with Japan Alumina and Sojitz. The Boddington bauxite mine supplies bauxite ore to the Worsley alumina refinery, the second largest in southern hemisphere.
BHP Billiton owns 36 per cent of the Alumar refinery and 40 per cent of the Alumar smelter. Both facilities are operated by Alcoa. The operations, and their integrated port facility, are located at Sao Luis in the Maranhao province of Brazil.
MRN is operated as an incorporated joint venture between BHP Billiton (14.8 per cent), Alcoa and affiliates (18.2 per cent), Vale (40 per cent), Rio-Tinto Alcan (12 per cent), Votorantim (10 per cent) and Hydro (5 per cent). BHP Billiton's portion of the bauxite off-take is supplied to the Alumar Refinery.

Knoxville — Sen. Chuck Grassley, a University of Northern Iowa alumnus, says he is not cheering for Iowa or Iowa State on Saturday, but he believes the Hawkeyes will win.
Grassley made the comments this morning during a telephone interview. He said on any given Saturday, he is hoping for a victory for all three schools. That is, unless the Cyclones or Hawkeyes happen to be playing the Panthers. As for Saturday, he is hoping for a good Cy-Hawk game.
On a more serious note, Grassley responded to a question regarding reports of the Central Intelligence Agency supplying equipment to Syrian rebels, to support the rebels in their civil war. Grassley said the equipment is being supplied because of an order given by President Obama four months ago.
Grassley added that many believe this should have been done years ago. He blames the late response on the House and Senate intelligence committees.
The equipment is America's way of supporting the rebels without endangering the lives of our servicepeople by putting boots on the ground. According to Grassley, 75 percent of the Syrian rebels are considered to be moderate, or secular. The other 25 percent pushing for Syrian President Bashir Assad's ouster are not native Syrians, but those linked to al-Qaeda. America is supplying equipment with the additional goal of keeping it out of the hands of al-Qaeda.
Grassley believes military action should be a last resort by the United States in Syria. He believes the day is coming for Assad's removal from leadership, but this will be done through the civil war. As far as America's stance on the use of chemical weapons, which questions still exist whether or not the weapons were used by Assad or the rebels, that has not changed.
In regard to domestic issues, Grassley is confident that a Farm, Food and Jobs Bill of some kind will not be passed by the Sept. 30 deadline, but there will be one.

NORMAN — Oklahoma Secretary of Education Dr. Janet Barresi will be in Norman this coming week for a Community Forum on Education and Community Development.
Dr. Barresi is asking for additional funding for common schools. Lawmakers we've talked to seem inclined to move forward in restoring some of the cuts made in previous legislative sessions and to fund some of the mandates put on schools.
Also proposed is a move to earmark education's share of state lottery proceeds for school technology upgrades. That's a good start if the legislature doesn't take away that amount from regular education appropriations.
Equipping teachers and students with the latest technology is important and districts like Norman have done that through bond issues.
But maintaining those systems is an expensive, ongoing cost that is not always factored in when the technology is purchased.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Pierre Jackson scored 18 points to lead Baylor to an 82-48 win over Texas Tech Tuesday night.
"I shot a lot of shots earlier today," Jackson said. "...I like the feel of the gym, it felt good every time it left my hands."
Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin each added 17 points, with Jefferson also grabbing eight rebounds for the Bears (10-4, 2-0 Big 12). Brady Heslip added 11 points.
"I came in knowing that we already have scorers like Pierre Jackson and Brady Heslip," Austin said of his contribution as a true freshman, ". I've been taking my role as a scorer for us too."
Jaye Crockett led the Red Raiders (8-5, 1-1) with 13 points. Freshman Josh Gray added eight points.
The Bears went on a 24-5 run, led by Jefferson and Jackson, which lasted over eight minutes in the middle of the first half. Baylor used a 22-7 stretch in the second half as they continued to wear out the Red Raiders' defense.
Jefferson scored 13 points in the first half and Jackson added 12 to put the Bears up 42-23.
Baylor was without head coach Scott Drew, who served the second game of a two-game suspension. Jerome Tang filled in for Drew, who sat out the first two Big 12 games over failure to monitor the sending of text messages and making phone calls beyond the NCAA's limit.
"I feel like my brother let me borrow his really expensive car and all I wanted to do was bring it back to him with no dents, full of gas," Tang said.

2014 Audi Cars
One of the pillars of the German luxury car business, Audi builds evertything fom the compact A3 sedan to te large Q7 SUV and R8 supercar. Volume sellers include the A4, A6 and Q5 crossover, while a recent push has seen several new TDI diesel options added to most models. Launched in 1998, the Audi TT sports coupe and convertible put the brand in the spotlight with dramatic new styling. Audi has a strong tradition of performance S models, while ultra high-performance cars bear the RS badge.
Dating back to 1909, in 1932 Audi merged with three other German automakers (Horch, DKW and Wanderer) to form Auto Union and creating the brand's distinct four ring logo – one ring for each original automaker. Audi's true claim to fame is its Quattro all-wheel drive technology that first debuted on the aptly named 1980 Audi Quattro.

I don't know the current position on vaginal vs clitoral orgasm. At one time it was believed that some women can only orgasm from clitoral stimuatlion. My wife can orgasm from vaginal stimulation, a previous girlfriend could not. When my girlfriend and I were lovers for a while she was able to orgasm from intercourse without any other stimulation, but I believe the position we used stimulated her clitoris.
Your title is confusing to me. I assume you mean that the sensation is too intense and that you can't orgasm and this is frustrating to you. Lovemaking is a lot more than intercourse and you should let your boyfriend bring you to orgasm manually or orally. After you orgasm, do you feel like you want more or had enough. If you want more you can try intercourse right after you have orgasmed. You might orgasm again. You should try a variety of positions to see if any work better.I've found that positions that cause pubis on pubis contact can stimulate the clitoris and thrusting isn't that important. You may enjoy it more after you start to oragasm.
Stop thinking about peeing too. Put a towel under you and accept in your mind that you'll let it out - pee or no pee - cuz truth is it's probably female ejaculation and it's gonna feel awesome! Good luck
Perhaps you need to relax more?
Good luck!!!
When I met my wife, she always said from the first time we got into bed that if we were not having intercourse, I better come first because her orgasms were so intense. By that she meant that they were so intense, it would wipe her out physically and she could not get me off. I always thought that was her way of avoiding my needs but it was so true the first time I went down on her, it was so intense that I could hear her heart pounding and see her carotid artery pulse under her skin. She would come with such intensity that she was frozen in position in bed and we would cuddle for an hour until she fell asleep.
Give yourself a chance to learn what makes you feel good and what gets you off. Then you can teach your boy friend what you like and show him how to make you come. Remember, "practice makes perfect".
When my husband stimulates me clitorally, he gets me where I want to explode and I can't stand it. He tells me I need to "let go." I try to relax and just let it ride, it's amazing, but he claims I still havn't let go. I'm thinking either he believes I will ejaculate like him, or there is something I am missing.
And sounds like, your say just afraid to go that extra bit, I don't think you have ever been there, you have orgasm's, but never this big.
But you need to go there, and you some day you need to do, if you explode orgasmic juices all over the place then enjoy it, but until you do that, then your denying your self, and stopping an orgasm is not good for you, I think you find that this is giving you some pain as well, and it will.
I do hope this helps.
Good luck
