Brief Report for San Andreas fault zone, Mojave section (Class A) No. 1h
Partial Report ||Complete Report
Compiled in cooperation with the California Geological Survey
citation for this record: Bryant, W.A., and Lundberg, M.Matthew, compilers, 2002, Fault number 1h, San Andreas fault zone, Mojave section, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, http://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 10/02/2014 10:28 AM.
|General: The 1,100-km-long San Andreas fault zone is the principal element of the San Andreas fault system, a network of faults with predominantly dextral strike-slip displacement that collectively accommodates the majority of relative N-S motion between the North American and Pacific plates. Major elements of the San Andreas fault system include the Bartlett Springs [29], Maacama [30], Rodgers Creek [32], Green Valley [37], Calaveras [54], Hayward [55], San Gregorio [60], San Jacinto [125], Elsinore [126], and Imperial [132] fault zones. In this compilation, the San Andreas fault zone is considered to be the Holocene and historically active dextral strike-slip fault that extends along most of coastal California from its complex junction with the Mendocino fault zone [18] on the north, southeast to the northern Transverse Range and inland to the Salton Sea, where a well-defined zone of seismicity (the Brawley Seismic Zone [124]) transfers slip to the Imperial fault [132] along a right-releasing step.
Two major surface-rupturing earthquakes have occurred in historic time: the 1857 Fort Tejon (Sieh, 1978 #5775) and 1906 San Francisco (Lawson, 1908 #4969) earthquakes. Additional historic surface rupturing earthquakes include the unnamed 1812 earthquake along the Mojave section [1h] (Jacoby and others, 1988 #4962; Sieh and others, 1989 #5779; Fumal and others, 2002 #5726) and the northern part of the San Bernardino Mountains section [1i] (Weldon and Sieh, 1985 #5806; Jacoby and others, 1987 #4961; 1988 #4962), and a large earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area that occurred in 1838 that was probably on the Peninsula section [1c] of the San Andreas fault (Toppozada and Borchardt, 1998 #5493; Bakun, 1999 #4790). Historic fault creep at rates as high as 32 mm/yr characterizes the 132-km-long Creeping section [1e] in central California (Burford and Harsh, 1980 #4806). The creep rate gradually tapers off to 0 mm/yr at the northwestern and southeastern ends of this section. The northern and southern ends of the Creeping section [1e] are transitional to the surface-rupture termination points of the 1906 earthquake to the north and 1857 earthquake to the south. Creep at rates as high as 4 mm/yr also has been measured on the Coachella section [1j] (Sieh and Williams, 1990 #5780).
The San Andreas fault zone is the most extensively studied fault in California, and perhaps in the world. The fault zone first gained international scientific attention immediately following the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Lawson's 1908 report summarizing the investigation of the 1906 earthquake contained the first integrated description of the San Andreas fault, which was recognized as extending from Point Delgada in the north to Whitewater Canyon southeast of San Bernardino in the south, and formed the underlying basis for our modern studies of paleoseismology and earthquake geology (Prentice, 1999 #5755). More than 5,000 articles, maps, and publications describing various aspects of the San Andreas fault that have been produced since Lawson's pioneering work. In addition, there are about 1,000 site-specific fault rupture investigation reports (and maps) filed with the California Geological Survey in compliance with the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Hart and Bryant, 1997 #4856). For this compilation, 43 detailed paleoseismic study sites along the fault zone are summarized.
The fastest, generally accepted Holocene slip rate for the San Andreas fault is along the Cholame-Carrizo section [1g], which lies in the medial portion of the 1,100-km-long fault zone. Here, Sieh and Jahns (1984 #5778) reported a preferred late Holocene dextral slip rate of 33.9?2.9 mm/yr. In and south of the San Francisco Bay area, a significant portion of dextral slip is partitioned onto several faults of the San Andreas fault system, including the San Gregorio [60] on the west, and the Calaveras [54] and Hayward [55] faults on the east. Hall and others (1999 #4954) reported a late Holocene slip rate of 17?4 mm/yr for the Peninsula section [1c]. North of the Golden Gate, dextral slip from the San Gregorio fault zone [60] may be transferred to the North Coast section [1b] along a right-releasing step. Reported late Holocene slip rates for the North Coast section [1b] range from a minimum value of 16-18 mm/yr reported by Noller and others (1996 #5748) to a maximum value of 25.5?2.5 mm/yr reported by Prentice (1989 #5754).
To the south, the San Andreas fault zone is delineated by an extremely complex zone of dextral strike-slip, reverse-oblique, and thrust faults in the southeastern Transverse Ranges. Fault nomenclature in the San Gorgonio Pass area is complex and different workers have assigned faults different names. West-northwest of San Gorgonio Pass Dibblee (1964 #1340; 1968 #4817; 1982 #4841) termed the principal active strand of the San Andreas fault located along the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains the South Branch San Andreas fault, which is referred to as the San Andreas fault by Allen (1957 #4787) and San Bernardino strand San Andreas fault by Matti and others (1992 #5735). For this compilation, this strand will be referred to as the San Andreas fault (South Branch). A fault that strikes sub-parallel located to the north was called the North Branch San Andreas fault by Dibblee (1964 #1340; 1968 #4817) and is referred to as the Mill Creek fault by Allen (1957 #4787), Matti and others (1992 #5735), and Jennings (1994 #2878). This strand will be referred to as the Mill Creek fault in this compilation. East-southeast of San Gorgonio Pass two principal dextral strike-slip faults comprise the Holocene active San Andreas fault zone. The southern trace has been referred to as the South Branch San Andreas fault by Dibblee (1967 #1345; 1981 #4840) and Jennings (1994 #2878); Matti and others (1992 #5735) refer to this trace as the Coachella Valley segment, Banning fault. This branch will be referred to as the South Branch San Andreas fault (Banning strand) in this compilation. The northern trace is referred to as the North Branch San Andreas fault by Dibblee (1967 #1345; 1981 #4840) and Jennings (1994 #2878); Mission Creek fault by Allen (1957 #4787); Matti and others (1992 #5735) named this trace the Coachella Valley segment, San Andreas fault and will be referred to as the North Branch San Andreas fault (Coachella strand) in this compilation. Refer to Matti and others (1992 #5735) for a detailed discussion of San Andreas fault nomenclature for the Mojave [1h], San Bernardino [1i], and Coachella [1j] sections.
Weldon and Sieh (1985 #5806) reported a Holocene slip rate of 24?4 mm/yr at the northern end of the San Bernardino Mountains section [1i]. Harden and Matti (1989 #4955) reported a preferred Holocene slip rate of 14 mm/yr to 25 mm/yr near Yucaipa along the San Andreas fault (South Branch). Keller and others (1982 #4964) reported a preferred late Quaternary slip rate of 23 mm/yr to 35 mm/yr for the Coachella section [1j] near Biskra Palms. Surface-exposure age constraints (10Be-26Al) of the offset alluvial fan complex at Biskra Palms yields a better constrained late Quaternary dextral slip rate of 23.3?3.5 mm/yr (van der Woerd and others, 2001 #5800).
Several average values of recurrence have been reported for the fault zone; in general they range from a little more than 100 to as much as 450 yr. The North Coast section [1b] ranges from 180-260 yr (Niemi and Hall, 1992 #5747) to 200-400 yr for the past 2 k.y. (Prentice, 1989 #5754). The Santa Cruz Mountains section [1d] is 247-266 yr (Schwartz and others, 1998 #5771) and the Cholame-Carrizo section [1g] is 160-450 yr (Sieh and Jahns, 1984 #5778; Grant and Sieh, 1994 #4950; Sims, 1994 #5787; Stone and others, 2002 #5792). Recurrence intervals for the Mojave section [1h] are well-constrained based on paleoseismic studies by Sieh and others (1989 #5779), Biasi and others (2002 #5724) and Fumal and others (1993 #624; 2002 #5725). Sieh and others (1989 #5779) reported an average recurrence interval of 132 yr for the time interval 734 A. D. to 1857 at Pallett Creek, whereas Biasi and others (2002 #5724) refined the average recurrence interval at 135 yr. Fumal and others (2002 #5725) reported an average recurrence interval of 105 yr for the past 500 yr at Wrightwood. An average recurrence interval of 150-275 yr has been reported for the northern San Bernardino Mountains section by Weldon and Sieh (1985 #5806), Seitz and Weldon (1994 #5772), and Yule and others (2001 #4948). The Coachella section [1j] averages large earthquakes about 207-233 yr based on Sieh (1986 #5777).
Sections: This fault has 10 sections. From north to south they are the Shelter Cove [1a], North Coast [1b], Peninsula [1c], Santa Cruz Mountains [1d], Creeping [1e], Parkfield [1f], Cholame-Carrizo [1g], Mojave [1h], San Bernardino Mountains [1i], and Coachella [1j] sections. Different behavior patterns along different parts of the San Andreas fault where first noticed when Steinbrugge and Zacher (1960 #5791) documented creep along the fault in central California. Since that time, other workers have proposed various segmentation models for the San Andreas fault including five segments by Allen (1968 #4788), eight segments by Wallace (1970 #1423), 12 segments by Sykes and Nishenko (1984 #5794), Petersen and others (1996 #4860), the Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (1988 #5494; 1995 #4945; 1999 #4946), and the Working Group on Northern California Earthquake Probabilities (1996 #1216). Some segment boundaries are well documented or constrained for the San Andreas fault zone, whereas others are not. For this compilation, boundaries generally are similar to those described in models adopted by the Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (1988 #5494; 1990 #549; 1995 #4945; 1999 #4946), the Working Group on Northern California Earthquake Probabilities (1996 #1216), and Petersen and others (1996 #4860).

A lecture on "Copyright vs. Community"
Richard Stallman, MacArthur Fellow and President of the Free Software Foundation, argues that copyright does great harm when applied to today's technological environment of online collaboration and peer-to-peer sharing. Developed for the age of the printing press and currently enforceable only through Draconian punishments, the system infringes upon freedoms, which have become essential to network users. Stallman offers an alternative way for copyright to provide its intended benefits to the public without negating our freedoms.

Visiting the Dinosaur Trail
On the Museum of Life and Science's Dinosaur Trail, you are entering a world of late Cretaceous, North American dinosaurs.
The first scene you encounter takes place 77-75 million years ago. After passing a Parasaurolophus lounging at the head of the trail, you'll come to a fork in the road where a hungry Albertosaurus is charging toward an Edmontonia and a young Styracosaurus. The Edmontonia is crouching down to protect itself, but in this moment the Albertosaurus seems more interested in the Styracosaurus, who is vulnerable after being separated from his herd. Further up the trail, a group of Troodon are stalking a nest of eggs that a mother Maiasaura is protecting.
The rest of the trail is a scene that could have taken place around 68-65 million years ago. You'll see a pair of Stygimoloch circling each other, fighting. Meanwhile a large Alamosaurus lumbers along while a tiny herd of Leptoceratops dodge the Alamosaurus's feet.
Dig our Fossil Dig Site
And don't forget to visit the Fossil Dig Site along your way. The pit is filled with dirt that has been trucked in from an area in Eastern North Carolina that is rich with fossils – specifically, a mine that used to be on the ocean floor. The fossils in the dirt are 5 million to 23 million years old – too young to contain any dinosaur fossils, but full of the remains of ancient sharks, fish, corals, and shells. Pick up a shovel, dig in, and see what you find!
Podcast Tours
Listen to paleobiologist and Museum volunteer, Chuck Pell, talk about dinosaur coloration and biomechanics on this 15 minute audio tour. Upload it to your MP3 player before your visit and walk the trail while listening. If you're bringing children, listen on your computer before your visit so that you have plenty to talk about on the trail.

Things You Can Do At Home
Visit our Activities At Home page for ways you can learn more about dinosaurs and paleontology after your visit (and so that you'll get even more from your next one). We welcome your ideas for this section and hope you'll share with us what you've created and learned.

If you haven't yet heard AtsuBox's mix of late-night garage and deep dubstep for the Future Grooves Mix Series, you can do so by clicking above or heading over to SoundCloud where you can view the full tracklist and download it for free.
There will be no mix next fortnight as Future Grooves Vol. 2 is coming out on the 16th. Be ready!
Future Grooves Mix #4: AtsuBox
Here's the latest installment in the FG Mix Series. This mix sees AtsuBox take you on a journey through deep, dark dubstep & garage, but with some more upbeat tunes thrown in for good measure. Download the mix for free here. Tracklist coming soon!
Zelda Henrietta Marshall - Headway (AtsuBox Remix)
A very deep remix from AtsuBox. The soothing vocals fall perfectly over a relaxed, crisp drum beat, combined with a heavy sub. Look out for AtsuBox's Future Grooves Mix, coming Saturday 8th December. If you haven't yet listened to/downloaded last week's mix from br-ooks you can do so here.
Crystal Eyes - Black Magick (AtsuBox Remix)
Those of you who have downloaded Future Grooves Vol. 1 (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?) will have heard Crystal Eyes' emotive, shuffling garage tune "Black Magick" already. This remix from Atsuko & Stompbox sees the tune take an even deeper turn, as thick percussion layers, eerie pads and a mix that is quite sparing on the higher frequencies work together to create a melancholic atmosphere. Best of all, this tune is up for free download too. Grab it here.
AtsuBox & Stealth Elf - Porcelain Rain
Soft, mystical synths and shuffling halfstep percs on this one. Free download here.
Atsuko & Tenebriated - Need You
A heavy bassline and distant, atmospheric percussion on this deep garage tune from these first-time collaborators. Free download here.
AtsuBox - The Feeling's Changed
Great new tune from Atusko and Stompbox. Seems to combine elements of dubstep, garage and even some Blawan-style techno. Killer drums on this.
Atsuko - Another Broken Memory
Some sweet dark garage vibes from Atsuko. Come to think of it, I probably should've recommended this guy when someone requested artists like Burial….
Atsuko & Bruised Skies - End of Time
Garage doesn't get much more chilled than this. Free download here.

CoA delivers shock verdict in big-money divorce case
Readers' comments (12)
A win for MANkind
This is a ridiculous judgment and one which highlights again the need to have more women in the higher civil courts.
Effectively the judges have applied commercial law to a private client case, I understand that has to be universal but this clearly goes against the spirit of the family law.
I hope the Supreme Court agrees and throws out the appeal - and quickly.
We don't need more women in the Court of Appeal - we need more good lawyers. Until the Supreme Court rules, the advice to husbands must be "stash the assets in a company."
@3.13. Why is this a ridiculous judgment? The wife was divorcing the husband, not the companies. Otherwise, where would you draw the line? if a limited company goes bust, on your logic the directors/shareholders (whichever or both) would be liable for the company's debts. Novel!!
Good! Another gold digger loses out to common sense. I love it. I realise that lawyers and Thorp and other PC maniacs around the country, plus every man hating feminist in the land will be dissapointed, but that is just another reason to love it.
.....and as usual - coining it in ....the legal Cabal.
as a man about to go though a divorce I welcome this judgment. I just wish I had some wealth to hide...
'We don't need more women in the Court of Appeal - we need more good lawyers. Until the Supreme Court rules, the advice to husbands must be "stash the assets in a company."'
Nothing in this judgment says 'stash the assets in a company and you're OK.' You haven't understood the point. BTW, there is no prospect whatsoever of the Supreme Court reversing the judgment.
"Stashing the assets in a company" specifically to escape a division of assets on divorce would surely provide sufficient evidence of iniquity to justify piercing the corporate veil on standard company law principles - the company would be being used as an instrument of fraud.
That was not the case here, however. The companies pre-dated the divorce and were used by both parties for purposes other than hiding assets from divorce proceedings. There is no justification for pursuing the companies (which are of course separate from their shareholder) here.
If the husband fails to pay up, the wife could presumably seek a transfer into her name of the shares in the companies, as part of a seizure of the husband's own assets? That way she would obtain the property in the companies through the more legally appropriate route?

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - President Obama's campaign has run more than twice as many TV ads as Republican Mitt Romney in nine battleground states.
One of those states is Wisconsin – and it's the only one where Romney has taken out more ads than the Democratic president.
The AC Nielsen Company said Friday that Romney's campaign had run 1,952 ads on Wisconsin TV stations from the start of the year through early September. That's just over 600 more ads than Obama.
Republicans are making a strong effort to carry Wisconsin – where Democrats have won every presidential contest since 1988.
Wisconsin is also the home to Romney's running mate, Janesville Congressman Paul Ryan.
Nielsen said the Obama campaign has run 230,000 TV ads in the nine battleground states of Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Wisconsin – while the Romney camp has only run 87,000 ads in those places.
This week's Marquette poll showed Obama ahead in Wisconsin by 11 points.

Here's a little something to put some pep in your week: Retired soccer star and hottie celeb dad David Beckham stripped to his undies (yet again) to put in a hard day's work on a London rooftop for H&M. Becks sure looks like he got a good workout -- the shoot involved some kind of crazy harness contraption and what appears to be a lot of running, leaping, and (obviously) generally looking smoldering.
Good thing he's such a hottie, though ...
Judging by what the crew members are wearing, it was a pretty cold day!
Watching the video, I have to wonder if it ever occurs to Beckham that he's standing around in his underwear, in public, while everyone else is fully clothed and random strangers take hundreds of photos of him. It's pretty weird, isn't it? It actually sounds like a classic stress dream!
Luckily for H&M (and us), Becks is probably used to being ogled. In fact, as an added bonus, here's a little slideshow of 5 other famous shots of David Beckham in his undies. You're welcome!
How would you feel if your husband were an underwear model?
Image via Splash News
Adrien, I had to go find some videos where he actually talks because of you and I've got to say the only woman he could possibly sound like is Cher and that is because she has a deep masculine voice. Not sure what the women in your area sound like but I think they might be crossdressers. Unless you mean possibly his british accent? I can't even figure out how you think he sounds like a girl.
Is he known for anything else other than his body? My hubby said he played soccer before.
theresaphilly he is a well known soccer player as well as the husband of sexy or scary spice...one of the spice girls anywho.

NBCRightNow.com - Many of us have personal documents stored in our homes that contain private information. This Saturday you can safely dispose of those old documents at a shred event sponsored by Crime Stoppers.
They'll take almost anything that is outdated that you no longer need that has personal information on it. When we keep those documents lying around it is that much easier for someone to find them or steal them. That can lead to identity theft, which can be costly if thieves make their way into your bank accounts.
NBC Right Now is teaming up with Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers and CI Shred to bring you this chance to protect your identity.
"Account information...all these different types of things where people can grab that stuff and be able to utilize it and then create other identities or use your own identity for their own purposes," explained Mike Blatman of Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers.
You can shred up to two banker boxes or grocery bags of credit card or bank statements, financial records, old checks or other personal documents. There is no charge but the Crime Stoppers reward fund is collecting donations.
The shred day is from 10-2 this Saturday in the Target parking lots on Columbia Center Boulevard in Kennewick and Queensgate Drive in Richland.

Should Hewlett-Packard's Meg Whitman be fired?
HP's CEO says the big write-down the company took on its $10 billion Autonomy acquisition was the fault of prior management. But investors are chafing at the company's weakening performance and lousy stock price.
The idea may sound loopy. Meg Whitman, the current CEO, has only been in the job for 14 months. But in her tenure, the stock price has fallen some 48% overall. It's worse for the year, down 53% and down about 60% since peaking at about $30 on Feb. 16. Moreover, half the traders in an online poll want Whitman gone and maybe the board of directors, too.
Article continues below.
The stock closed Wednesday at $11.94, up 23 cents. So far this week, the stock is down 7.1%.
This year alone, HP has written off the bulk of two major investments -- Autonomy and the $13.9 billion acquisition of Electronic Data Systems from General Motors (GM) in 2008. Autonomy is the uglier. HP says Autonomy "used accounting improprieties, misrepresentations and disclosure failures to inflate the underlying financial metrics of the company prior to its acquisition by HP."
In other words, HP was the victim of fraud and has referred the case to U.S. and British authorities.
Meanwhile, HP's performance has been nothing to write home about. Revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter fell 7% to $30 billion, partly due to a rising dollar. Adjusted net income (taking out the write-downs) was off 3% to $2.3 billion. For the fiscal year, revenue was down 5% to $120.4 billion. Adjusted net income was down 23% to $8 billion.
In the fourth quarter, HP saw weakness in its computer business, its printer business, its server business and its services business. The only growth was in its software business, which, ironically, includes what was Autonomy.
It's in the process of reducing its staffing by some 29,000, about 8% of the total, by the end of 2013.
And the company hopes new personal computer, tablets and the like, based on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 program, will start to win share from Apple (AAPL) and Samsung. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
So is all this Whitman's fault? Well, she was brought onto the HP board by former CEO Leo Apotheker and did vote to approve the Autonomy deal. But, in fairness, the deal was brought to the board by Apotheker and strategy chief Shane Robison. And the accountants who were supposed to do due diligence didn't come close to the issues that HP says are there.
Most of the directors who voted for the deal are still on the board. Whitman says the problem was that the accountants didn't do a good enough job in their exams of Autonomy's books.
But one management consultant thinks Whitman and the HP board should be fired anyway. They aren't running Hewlett-Packard to become a pre-eminent technology company, says Adam Hartung, who runs Spark Partners outside Chicago.
Whitman, he added, was only writing off assets. "She's not doing anything to fix HP."
At best, HP is playing catch-up on smartphones, tablet devices and personal computers, Hartung said in an interview. It doesn't appear to be scoping out where technology is headed. As a result, he added, "Every month that this goes on is accelerating HP's demise."
Those are rough words for a company that has more than 300,000 employees worldwide. Hartung doesn't care. HP needs to have a courageous CEO and board of directors.
Hartung, who worked in strategic planning at DuPont (DD) PepsiCo (PEP) and Computer Sciences (CSC), sees two areas of opportunity that a company with its professional expertise could seize on:
- Small mini-cloud networks. These would let a homeowner or business operator grab onto a network with a PC, smart phone and tablet and collaborate immediately with others.
- Televisions that offer true two-way network connectivity. There's lots of talk about an Apple television or a Google television. But the hardware and software are not yet being imbedded in televisions. And there's a chance that the first company that makes this happen could transform technology.
To seize these opportunities means moving research and development away from HP's core product areas: PCs, servers and the like.
Apple faced the same dilemma in the late 1990s when it became apparent that its successful Macintosh line of computers showed clear signs of peaking growth, Hartung said.
Steve Jobs saw that the company needed something new so Apple could grow and thought a music player would work. That led to the iPod and then to the iPhone and iPad. The iPhone and iPad are now Apple's biggest revenue and profit drivers.

Bahamas Townhome Rentals with Outdoor Grill(39)

Recent Bahamas Reviews
Wonderful Trip
Our stay at the Blue Reef was wonderful and all the pics are accurate. Everything worked in the townhouse and it had everything you needed to cook, relax, and to do laundry with if you are so inclined. We had no issues. Paula was great to work with, was very timely and professional though out the rental process. We rented a car, was picked up and returned to the airport by Barbara and she was extremely nice and easy to work with. I forgot my cell phone at the townhouse and Barbara returned to the airport and delivered it to me and refused payment! The restaurant recommendation list was spot on. We ate at the Poop Deck, Olives, Spritz, and Chives which we highly recommend. We will stay at the Blue Reef when we return to the Bahamas. Thank you Paula and Barbara!
Relaxing, Enjoyable Vacation
The condo had a very contemporary feel with fantastic views, and it's located in a quiet community. It was easy and inexpensive to jump on the jitney (bus) and go to Cable Beach and Downtown. We dove with Stuart Cove's Dive Shop, they pick up at the major hotels and picked us up at the bus stop just in front of the complex, which meant there was no need for a rental car. Barbara was fantastic, she picked us up at the airport, took us to the grocery store and provided information on the island.
Location! Location! Location!
Rayann's was the best location that you could have. Seeing the sunrise with your morning coffee and the beautiful colours of the water and 3 sister rocks out in the ocean gave us a view that no other beach could offer – who could ask for anything more!! We visited Great Exuma first week of August and it was amazing. First, Isadora and Mildred were great. They informed us that upon our arrival stores would be closed and that they would also be closed the following day as it was a holiday. I asked Isadora if should pick up some groceries for us and she did not hesitate to help. She even did a little extra by providing some fruit and homemade bread. We can't stress enough how very friendly and accommodating Isadora and Mildred were. If you are looking for a holiday where there is no hustle and bustle, Exuma is the place. A car is definitely required and we had no problems. We rented our car through Sure to Shore (Janese was very friendly and very accommodating). Our car was waiting for us at the airport and the drive to Rayann's was less than 10 minutes. There is one main road and very few roundabouts so driving was no issue. We also rented a boat that we highly recommend. Minns Sports is the place to go and we booked well in advance. Driving was very easy, my husband and sons had a great time driving. Chat N' Chill is a place to go for lunch and rest while you're driving along in the boat. There are some beautiful little spots and beaches to explore. If diving is your thing there are many caves that can be explored. My husband and sons were only able to snorkel around them. If caves and snorkelling are your thing, Thundeball Grotto is definitely a trip that must be done. We booked our excursion through Four C's and they were great. The excursion is a whole day but worth it. Also included was swimming with the pigs, feeding iguanas and nursing sharks. We stopped for lunch at Staniel Cay. We did some day trips with the car – we hit Jolly Beach, nice calm beach, Tropic of Cancer Beach was difficult to find but doable if you are courageous enough to drive your car up a hill with huge boulders. Not us but we did find a beautiful beach nearby – it was breathtaking. Our last day we drove to Emerald Bay, another beautiful beach. We did some fine dining at Augusta Bay and Grand Isle Resort, very nice and food was exceptional. Overall a great vacation and would highly recommend Exuma and staying at Rayann's.

Girls soccer team, new coaches ready for season
Published on Wed, Aug 28, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
New coaches mean new routines and a lot of hard work for the girls soccer team as they prepare for their first game of the season, but after the first few days of practice everyone seems to be on board with the changes.
The team began practice on Monday under the tutelage of their new coach, Kelly Tuski, who took over the program from
longtime coach Dan Steelquist this year. Tuski played two years at Gonzaga University, and spent several years on and off as Blaine's assistant coach under Steelquist. Her last year with the program was in 2007.
Soon after being hired in May, Tuski began developing a summer workout routine for the team. The team has worked hard over the summer, she said, and brings a solid base of conditioning to the first week of practice.
"The girls will absolutely be ready in time for their first game," she said.
After only a handful of practices the team is coming together, and strong leaders are already emerging. Tuski said she would be looking to Olivia Olason, Alexis McElwain and Gretchen Kordas, among others, to lead the team. Olason helped lead the offense last year, with nine goals and five assists.
The Borderites are coming off a 7–11–4 season in which they fell short of reaching the 1A State Tournament by one game. Leading goal scorers Liz Berry and Hope Wilkett, as well as goalkeepers Shirin Roth-Lerner and Anna Hewitt graduated last year, and one of Tuski's first challenges will be replacing them.
In their first few practices, the girls have been working on a "variety of conditioning and skill drills, with lots of repetition," Tuski said.
"I'm excited to see what they do in their first game," she said.
Giovanni Quesada has taken on the assistant coach position, and he will take over the varsity boys soccer head coaching position from Mike Cuoto in the spring.
Quesada brings a wealth of soccer experience to the program, including work with the Whatcom Rangers program. Stacy Esposito continues in her role as junior varsity coach, as she has for years.
Esposito said the new coaches will be good for the program overall.
"New coaches mean new expectations and a lot of hard work, but change is always good," she said. "Dan [Steelquist] was a great coach and will be missed, but having fresh energy will be awesome for the program."
The girls play their first game at home against Sultan September 10 at Pipeline. The game begins at 4:30.

Valve Confirms Left 4 Dead and L4D2 DLC for Oct. 5Valve has confirmed that 'The Sacrifice', DLC for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, will be released on October 5 for the PC and Xbox 360. It will be free for both games on the PC, while the Xbox 360 DLC will cost 560 MS Points ($7).
"'The Sacrifice' is the prequel to 'The Passing,' and takes place from the L4D Survivors' perspective as they make their way South," reads the press release. "In addition to advancing the story, 'The Sacrifice' introduces a new style finale featuring "Sacrificial Gameplay" where players get to decide who will give their life so the others may live."
In L4D, 'The Sacrifice' will include the campaign and maps playable in Versus and Survival. In L4D2, the DLC will yield the same campaign, which is played using the L4D characters, and the first game's 'No Mercy' campaign as an added bonus. Both campaigns will include L4D2 weapons and Special Infected. The maps will be playable in Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes, as well.
PC Gamer, which correctly placed the DLC's release on October 5, also reported that 'The Sacrifice' would launch alongside the Mac version of Left 4 Dead 2, but Valve made no mention of this in its release. Shacknews has asked Valve for more information on a Mac launch for L4D2 or L4D.

Transcribing the tape later, I wondered if my recorder was running low on batteries, he was speaking so slowly and with so little inflection and passion. He sounded like a burnt-out bureaucrat.This is not surprising. We all know about the sordid sex scandal that surfaced at the worst possible moment, just as Adams was taking office and the economy was crashing. That mess nearly cost him his job, and it hasn't done the city any good either.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state appeals court today upheld the conviction of a southern Wisconsin man for killing a young mother 33 years ago.
Curtis Forbes of Randolph said his jury should never have heard that his wife saw blood on his shirt.
But the Fourth District Appellate in Madison said that if the judge erred in that regard, there was still enough other evidence to find Forbes guilty.
He was convicted in 2010 of beating, stabbing, and strangling 18-year-old Marilyn McIntyre at her apartment in Columbus in 1980. Her body was exhumed in 2008. It uncovered new evidence, and Forbes was arrested in 2009 after blood was found from both the killer and his victim in McIntyre's apartment.
Forbes also contended that his jury should have been allowed to hear more evidence which implicated McIntyre's husband.
But the appellate court didn't buy that, either.
Forbes, who's now 55, was sentenced to life in prison – but a judge set a possible date of 2020 to consider a supervised release.

that I can barely lift ,is what my youngest son gave me for Christmas. He told me in August he had something for me and was so excited, he did not know how he was going to stand waiting until Christmas! As I was opening this darned thing, which I could barely handle, I asked, "is it a piece of marble, granite, or a block or Parmesan?" No, on all counts. After the darned thing was unwrapped, I still did not know what it was, "Taste it", wise son said. "Salt, this big? What am I supposed to do with it?" So, I get pages of instructions, recipes, tips and tricks, from Mark Bitterman, co-owner of The Meadow.
Anyone have any experience with a cooking salt block, seen one working, in a restaurant or someone's home?

The Odysseyby Gareth Hinds
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With bold imagery and an ear tuned to the music of Homer's epic poem, Gareth Hinds reinterprets the ancient classic as it's never been told before.
"Gareth Hinds brings THE ODYSSEY to life in a masterful blend of art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer's epic."
—Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses, Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning—and a little help from Mount Olympus—to make his way home and seize his kingdom from the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. Award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventure, and high action that has been told and retold for more than 2,500 years—though never quite like this.
"Gareth Hind brings "The Odyssey" to life in a masterful blend of art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer's epic."--Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Young adult.
About the Author
Gareth Hinds is the creator of several acclaimed graphic novels based on classics. About THE ODYSSEY, he says, "It was incredibly exciting to work with this material. Gods, monsters, flawed heroes, battles, and all the best and worst of human nature, set against an ancient Mediterranean backdrop. Its a dream project."
Gareth Hinds lives in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Ted Bell
St. Martin's Griffin
Nick of Time is the first young reader's book written by bestselling author Ted Bell.
In the grand tradition of epic novels like Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island comes a wondrous tale of time travel, adventure, and riches, in which twelve-year-old Nick McIver sets out to become "the hero of his own life."
The setting is England, 1939, on the eve of war. Nick and his younger sister, Kate, live in a lighthouse on the smallest of the Channel Islands. Nick and Kate come to the aid of their father who is engaged in a desperate war of espionage with German U-boat wolf packs that are circling the islands. The information they provide to Winston Churchill is vital as he tries to warn England of the imminent Nazi invasion.
One day Nick discovers an old sea chest, left for him by his ancestor, Captain Nicholas McIver of the Royal Navy. Inside, he finds a time machine and a desperate plea for help from the captain. He uses the machine to return to the year 1805. Captain McIver and, indeed, Admiral Nelson's entire fleet are threatened by the treachery of the French and the mutinous Captain Billy Blood. Nick must reach deep inside, using his wits, courage, and daring to rescue the imperiled British sailors.
His sister, Kate, meanwhile, has enlisted the aid of two of England's most brilliant "scientific detectives," Lord Hawke and Commander Hobbes, to thwart the invading Nazis. She and Nick must face England's underwater enemies, a challenge made all the more difficult when they discover the existence of Germany's supersecret submarine.
In this striking adventure for readers of all ages, Nick must fight ruthless enemies across two different centuries, on land and sea, to help defeat those determined to destroy his home and his family.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt of Ted Bell's children's book Nick of Time, narrated by John Shea. Nick of Time is an epic adventure story starring young Nick McIver, who uses a time machine to rescue two young children taken prisoner by pirates. Along the way, with courageous feats of derring-do, not to mention his resourcefulness, our young hero—"the most reliable boy in England"—changes the course of events in two time periods, the Napoleonic Wars and World War II.
Praise for Nick of Time
"An immensely appealing book... Nick is the pluckiest, most likable boy-hero since Robert Lewis Stevenson's David Balfour (Kidnapped ). With great battle scenes; lots of nautical jargon; and themes of courage, integrity, and honor, this book will appeal to restless boys who can never find books written just for them. Three huzzahs and a great big 21-gun salute to Bell for his first novel for kids. Hopefully, it won't be his last." --School Library Journal, Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK
"Nick of Time is a blast---the best of Robert Louis Stevenson, Horatio Hornblower, and Harry Potter. The kid in me loved it, and so did the adult."
---James Patterson, New York Times bestselling author of the Maximum Ride series
"Nick of Time is one heck of an adventure! Filled with colorful characters, non-stop action, scary pirates, nasty Nazis, technically advanced submarines, rousing old-time sailing ships, thrilling battle scenes, heart-pounding sea voyages and nail-biting espionage, this story has it all... If you are looking for a thrill and a new hero, this is it." --TeenReads.com, Chris Shanley-Dillman, author of FINDING MY LIGHT and THE BLACK POND
"A brilliant adventure, hidden within a rolling saga, tucked inside an intriguing mystery. That's Nick of Time. Ted Bell proves that he's the master of swashbuckling for both young and old."
---Steve Berry, author of The Venetian Betrayal
"Wow! Some books sweep you away. NICK OF TIME amazed me, dazzled me, and swept my imagination off to sea.... I've been craving an adventure story with a good mystery and this arrived in the nick of time to rescue me."
---Diane Chen, School Library Journal.com
"Nick of Time reminded me of Brian Jacques, one of my favorite authors. Everything clicks together perfectly. . . . I really like the era and technology of WWII, especially the 'secret weapons' . . . the whole pirate thing really appeals to me. . . . The time travel idea is cool, and what's even better is that da Vinci created it!"
---Henry Willshire (13 years old)

Rotator Rod by Colleen O'Connell
Design Showcase 2010 Finalist
Design: Rotator Rod — The Space Saving Shower Rod
Materials: Stainless steel rod, Chrome or Brushed Nickel Plating, Molded Plastic/Nylon
Designer: Colleen O'Connell
Link: RotatorRod.com
Location: Sarasota, Florida
Price Point: The basic Original Rotator Rod, with a Shiny Ceramic White finish is $59.99. Upgraded Cap finishes are also available in Bright Chrome and Brushed Nickel.
"Small bathrooms just got bigger! They say necessity is the mother of invention and this was true for the Rotator Rod. When I downsized I found myself wrestling with the shower curtain every morning, so I installed a curved shower curtain rod, like the ones I had seen hotels."
"It worked great and my shower space felt bigger and brighter! BUT, the curve came out so far that it cramped the rest of the bathroom. So I set out to solve the problem — with Gatorade caps nailed to the wall and using lots of glue and wire, I created one that would move out of the way when it wasn't in use. The first Rotator Rod was born. It's come a long way since then, but now, anyone can expand space in or out of the shower with a simple 'flip' of the rod — no glue required. Oh, and this may be the best part — now, when wet towels or bathing suits are hung over the shower rod, they drip into the tub, and not on the floor."
This is where most of the activity takes place. It's half storefront and half warehouse. In the left foreground you can see there's a desk where mundane business is carried out. Opposite that on the right is the Design Testing Center. Right now a new design for the Accent Ball is being tested for it's ease of installation. So far, it looks great but needs more work on the function side.
My favorite designer is Lois Walpole. I'm fascinated when materials or objects are reused in unexpected ways and Lois is a master. Her media comes from the jungle to the junk yard and the results are beautiful and useful and incredibly creative. Her roots in basketry shine through no matter what material she's using or what the end result may be. As much as I enjoy their aesthetics, for me, thinking about where the component parts and pieces have been makes them even more special.
Choosing a favorite piece by Lois is difficult but I love this bookshelf because it's unique — putting square books in a round frame and, who makes anything out of a wetsuit? I love that!

Finally, a clever practical affordable idea that a real person can use.
Where is the 'Vote' button? I can only seem to post a comment . . .
Yes to the clever Floridian!!!!!
The Rotator Rod was the one where many of the comments were "oh, this is such a lovely idea, but I've owned one for years." How original is this product...really?
I am sorry, I don't get it. It's at BB&B -- agree with above poster, how original is this?
I realize that you have seen many shower rods that are arched to provide more space, but this one "rotates" for more OR less space!!! That is the difference!
For a product that is already available at hsn, amazon, skymall just to name a few commercial sites, does it even belong in this contest?
As-seen-on-TV infomercial? Yes. Design Showcase Finalist? No.
This is very innovative and it more movable that some of the other types that are out there on the market. Besides, if the other rods were alike then this company would not have saw fit to add it in the competition. I think it's different and of better design and quality and should be in the competition more so than some of the other items. To those that are negative nay-sayers DON'T HATE!!!!!
This is a very original idea. It maximizes space in both the shower and the bathroom. It looks easy to install and quite durable. The price premium is small compared with a high quality curved shower rod. One can rotate the rod and close the curtain when not in use which hides all the shampoo bottles, cracked tiles, etc. in the shower, when the bathroom is being used by guests during, for example, a party. A great product! What idea does this inventor have next?
"What idea does this inventor have next?"
Hopefully something that someone else hasn't invented yet. That would be refreshing.
i'm in!
for the haters: what she did was to improve on something to make it more useful. it's pretty simple, actually.
A little too simple.
The other designers made the effort to create original designs.
I just saw this rod on sale at TJ Maxx for $15.00!
I didn't know they were already in production.
I am thrilled with my Rotator Rod. My small bathroom is so functional now and elegant thanks to the smart design. Living in a small space is challenging and when a new product comes out to make your life easier with what you have to work with is oh so sweet!!
Lori, are you being paid to push the Fraud Rod?
Dearest Gordon: I have used the Rotator Rod and it really does save space as advertised. The fact that Colleen has in fact sold quite a few of these and people have been very satisfied attests to the Rotator Rod being a very good product. Your last name obviously isn't Gekko because you don't seem to have much business sense at all.. I don't have a problem with the "Bottles of Hope" as I think it is a very innovative idea... I do however wonder about the feasibility of his business idea with a $2,500 price tag. (But I hope I am wrong and wish Peter Sid the best!) You however have WAY too much time on your hands and might want to find a hobby (or actually invent something yourself) rather that picking on a product (that works well) and its designer who has worked EXCEPTIONALLY hard to get this far! Good day to you!
Kevin V
This is the dumbest invention I have ever seen. People actually pay for this?
I know Colleen O'Connell she is an idiot. Now she is scamming the public with something that has already been invented?
This is definately a fast rich scheme.. another idiot in coleen oconner trying some stupid get rich scheme

Her genre is pop/rock, but we shouldn't forget that pop/rock is a rock subgenre. It varies. I watched an interview P!nk gave to Oprah and Oprah called her rockstar. And I've read in some websites this ''rockstar'' title.
I personally think she's bit of both. She's pop/rock and I think she can do poppy tracks and rock tracks. Besides, she's worked with obvious pop producers and rock producers. So, both!
