The species name of this plant is named for Thomas Drummond, (ca. 1790-1835), naturalist, born in Scotland, around 1790. In 1830 he made a trip to America to collect specimens from the western and southern United States. In March, 1833, he arrived at Velasco, Texas to begin his collecting work in that area. He spent twenty-one months working the area between Galveston Island and the Edwards Plateau, especially along the Brazos, Colorado, and Guadalupe rivers. His collections were the first made in Texas that were extensively distributed among the museums and scientific institutions of the world. He collected 750 species of plants and 150 specimens of birds. Drummond had hoped to make a complete botanical survey of Texas, but he died in Havana, Cuba, in 1835, while making a collecting tour of that island.

Not to get into a discussion on karma nor sudden enlightenment and the Tibetan Schools variance on that thing.....but to the logic issue.
I recall reading of a tutor to monks in the Tibetan tradition being involved in debate, being told in the debate of the absolute certaintity of Mr Sumuru as the center of the universe(as point of truth in the debate)....so debate as a absolute indicator of logical process....not necessarily.
Secondarily, as regards HHDL, his statements as opposed to his written words may convey different meanings as they are spoken to a audience in the first and meant in part to be a legacy of sorts in the second.
So....I always take the written words....what he has written and his people have published.... to be the real true opinion on things. Statements....I have seen statements that display apparent contradictory things in many contexts.
This particular statement being on his official website and such would indicate affirmation of each part of what he says to be absolutly what he feels on such things but even with that qualifier it is still a statement and not the written word so it can not similiarily be a absolute.
So reduced to writting and published under his offices approval I would assume this is his opinion....otherwise it may be like things we all say every day...we mean something but not necessarily always what we say or how it is interpreted.
Perhaps this is published as mentioned, but if not.....this may apply.


text: Seldom are these things necessary, but often can be handy. If you tend to use bath oil or anything that might make the tub slippery, a grab bar can be useful to help steady yourself. If you can put a bar on the wall, then that may work out for you as well.

Activities within the geoscience technologies theme integrate research and development across technologies that provide key observations and help us to build and populate 3D and 4D models. These technologies include
Digital field data capture has replaced the geologists notebook and field slip; recent advances in wireless telemetry permit the observation and monitoring of temporal earth processes which could not previously be captured by repeat manual surveys; and immersive visualisation brings the geologists' field areas into their office to greatly improve our understanding of complex earth systems. All of these technologies deliver efficiency gains. They maximise the scientific return from valuable time spent in the field, help standardise data gathering operations and support the visualisation and fusion of complex geoscience datasets.
Contact Stuart Marsh for more information.
This team is focused on the development and application of remote sensing, data collection and visualisation technologies to support a wide range of geoscience applications.
The Geophysical Tomography (GTom) team provides leading-edge technology for non-invasive geoelectrical imaging of the shallow subsurface.
The Geological Modelling Systems team develops cutting-edge geological modelling systems in support of BGS Science and Information Services.
The BGS Mathematical Modelling Team researches and develops technologies that utilise mathematical modelling to understand the subsurface.
3D models help us visualise the ground beneath our feet without the need for training in complex geological techniques.
Systems geology views geology as a set of interacting objects and processes that function as a whole. It aims to harmonise many aspects of geological information with the e-scientists' vision of a comprehensive global knowledge system.

Asthma, which is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation, is one of the most common respiratory illnesses. The global prevalence of asthma is increasing despite the development of new therapeutic approaches. Over the past 20 years, asthma mortality in the United States has declined; however, morbidity, as measured by hospitalizations and emergency department visits, continues to climb. Currently, about 1 in 20 Americans have asthma; in children, recent estimates suggest an incidence as high as 10%. In certain groups of Americans, such as persons of lower socioeconomic status and minority ethnicity, asthma morbidity and mortality are disproportionately high. Such trends are surprising, given the improvement in air quality in the United States and the availability of new pharmacologic therapies.

It's always hard to review and rate a collection of short stories. There are stories you are bound to love, to remember, to forget and to hate. I do not hate any of the short stories within this collection but I do love some, remember most and would love to forget a few. I do love "The Little Sisters of Eluria" and "Everything's Eventual". I would always remember "Autopsy Room 4", "The Man in a Black Suit" and the Dillinger story. I would definitely like to forget "1408" since it was soooo scary!!! Over-all it was a good collection.
Stephen King's contribution to the art of the short story is a wonderful mix of his storytelling genius. No matter where my reading takes me I eventually go back to Stephen King! This collection doesn't disappoint. I didn't even mind revisiting 3 of the 14 stories.
Some of the stories I'd already read in other collections of short stories, but the ones I'd not read before (as well as most of the ones I had read before) were fantastic!
Wow, it is not easy to review a short story collection all at once. So let me use that well-worn tactic of nervous poets everywhere and start out with a couple explanations.
First, this was my first extended exposure to Stephen King's writing. Although I'm familiar with many of the novels, I haven't read any of them yet. Second, there seem to be quite a few versions of this collection with different stories. The version I'm reviewing contained these stories (roughly in the order I preferred them): "1408," "Autopsy Room Four," "The Man in the Black Suit," "The Death of Jack Hamilton," "The Road Virus Heads North," "Lunch at the Gotham Café," "L. T.'s Theory of Pets," "In the Deathroom," "Luckey Quarter," "All That You Love Will Be Carried Away," "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French," "Riding the Bullet," "The Little Sisters of Eluria," and "Everything's Eventual."
A few stories in here, especially "1408," I found really, goosebump-inducing scary. The best written one is "The Death of Jack Hamilton," which uses a different and realistic voice and focuses on a different sort of topic than the other stories. I found the title story, "Everything's Eventual," tedious and overly drawn-out, and I found the narrator rather whiny.
One complaint I had with nearly every story is that the women were always lovers, mothers, nurses, maids, or gossips, or some combination of those things. The exception to this was "In the Deathroom," although a case could made for "The Death of Jack Hamilton" as well (as that woman was one of the most likable out of all the stories). I don't know if this is a common theme with all Stephen King work, or if he was just going through something in the mid- to late-nineties, when most of these stories were presumably written. It's probably worth also pointing out that, of the many characters whose sexuality came up (whether relevant to the plot or not), none of them were gay. The only characters who seemed to be racial minorities were the Central Americans who had committed warcrimes and who were interrogating the white reporter in "In the Deathroom." There's certainly something to be said for writing what you know, but is it better to leave minorities out entirely or to have them come off as stereotypical, the way most of the women characters do? Either way, it gets a little overwhelming with the number of different characters that filled out these 14 stories.
Overall, though, the stories were good and entertaining when taken at face value. I happened to listen to this on audiobook in my car (many of the stories were narrated by Stephen King), and I think that was a good way to enjoy this. Also probably a good choice for a vacation book, especially if you're staying at a creepy cabin somewhere!
I haven't read much King, this is actually only the second book I've read by him (the first being Gunslinger). I've always wanted to get into him though, and I think this was the perfect book to start with. Fourteen short stories, a King smorgasbord, so to speak. Some I loved, some I just liked, some just weren't my thing - but overall it was a great collection. Every one was well written, and even if a story wasn't my favorite, I still found myself enjoying it. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be reading more King soon.

Wikipedia in English (3)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743457358, Mass Market Paperback)In his introduction to Everything's Eventual, horror author extraordinaire Stephen King describes how he used a deck of playing cards to select the order in which these 14 tales of the macabre would appear. Judging by the impact of these stories, from the first words of the darkly fascinating "Autopsy Room Four" to the haunting final pages of "Luckey Quarter," one can almost believe King truly is guided by forces from beyond.
His first collection of short stories since the release of Nightmares & Dreamscapes in 1993, Everything's Eventual represents King at his most undiluted. The short story format showcases King's ability to spook readers using the most mundane settings (a yard sale) and comfortable memories (a boyhood fishing excursion). The dark tales collected here are some of King's finest, including an O. Henry Prize winner and "Riding the Bullet," published originally as an e-book and at one time expected by some to be the death knell of the physical publishing world. True to form, each of these stories draws the reader into King's slightly off-center world from the first page, developing characters and atmosphere more fully in the span of 50 pages than many authors can in a full novel.
For most rabid King fans, chief among the tales in this volume will be "The Little Sisters of Eluria," a novella that first appeared in the fantasy collection Legends, set in King's ever-expanding Dark Tower universe. In this story, set prior to the first Dark Tower volume, the reader finds Gunslinger Roland of Gilead wounded and under the care of nurses with very dubious intentions. Also included in this collection are "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French," the story of a woman's personal hell; "1408," in which a writer of haunted tour guides finally encounters the real thing; "Everything's Eventual," the title story, about a boy with a dream job that turns out to be more of a nightmare; and "L.T.'s Theory of Pets," a story of divorce with a bloody surprise ending.
King also includes an introductory essay on the lost art of short fiction and brief explanatory notes that give the reader background on his intentions and inspirations for each story. As with any occasion when King directly addresses his dear Constant Readers, his tone is that of a camp counselor who's almost apologetic for the scare his fireside tales are about to throw into his charges, yet unwilling to soften the blow. And any campers gathered around this author's fire would be wise to heed his warnings, for when King goes bump in the night, it's never just a branch on the window. --Benjamin Reese
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:22:47 -0400)
Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his form in the fourteen dark tales assembled in Everything's Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.… (more)

text: Mahindra Meets Tier 4a with High Tech Common Rail Injection System Smart injectors and a diesel oxidation catalyst system cut particulate matter and NOx. Published on: Sep 5, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Mahindra rolled out its above 75 horsepower Tier 4a engine recently for use in its 8560 models coming off the assembly line in November. Company officials say their mCRD engines will be available in a full line of models in 2013. The mCRD engine features a high-pressure injections system with multiple injection pulses that reduce NOx and particulate matter in the exhaust stream. Downstream from the engine a diesel oxidation catalyst after treatment system -- that needs no regeneration -- is on hand to further clean the exhaust. In addition, the engine is designed with a high-efficiency positive crankcase ventilation system to capture and clean gasses from the combustion chamber before releasing them into the atmosphere.Tier 4a emission compliance for Mahindra starts this fall with the 8560 models which include a 2WD, 4WD and 4WD-with-shuttle cab tractors. The technology will be used on a full line of Mahindras in 2013. The initial offering of mCRD power comes this November with the production of Mahindra's full-size utility cabbed 8560 model in 2WD, 4WD and 4WD-with-shuttle. That engine is rated at 83 hp.

Sometimes, when desire meets reality, you come face to face with suffering. Most recently it was unexpected physical discomfort related to the cold and my newly arthritic feet. Out early yesterday with the temperature hovering around 20F should have been like a walk in the park. Instead I was served a big bite of suffering.
Looking back I can see how my love of winter has decayed into a state of annoyed acceptance that it's a fact of life in central Pennsylvania. This first cold ride of the season really surprised me and has me wondering how much cold I can tolerate. A question every year round rider wrestles with at some point.

RDA: Revising, Developing, and Assessing
This session will give an overview of the development, revision, and assessment processes for RDA, with a look at changes coming in 2014 and at possible proposals for consideration at the end of the year.
How to Design and Deliver an Accessible Webinar
Access to individuals with disabilities, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing and people who are blind or have low vision must be provided. This applies whether you are participating in a webinar or presenting one.
The Great Lakes ADA Center has worked together in providing a monthly webinar series and has developed some technical assistance to assist others in ensuring accessibility. This session will examine the use of interactive features, captioning, audio connections, and other features as it relates to those who are planning to provide webinars as well as those who are developing webinar platforms.
Network Security Monitoring
Is your network safe from intruders? Do you know how to find out? Do you know what to do when you learn the truth? In this Webcast Richard Bejtlich, CSO of Mandiant, will describe Network Security Monitoring, a methodology he learned and developed in the Air Force to detect and respond to intruders.
Lead From Where You Are
- Do you feel you have leadership potential but wonder how to leverage it?
- Are you a leader and looking for ways to improve?
- Or do you simply wonder what the heck people mean when they talk about leadership?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, this CSL in Session is for you!
Building upon leadership research, Sharon Morris will introduce a handy tool for identifying your unique leadership strengths. During this interactive session you will have the opportunity to reflect on leadership activities, share your thoughts, learn from others, and feel more empowered to use your natural abilities to lead – regardless of your position in a library.

If you were to make a list of high-tech careers, it is doubtful that chicken farming would be among them.
Calves born in cold weather suffer adverse effects if they don't get right up and nurse before they chill. "Calves start out with a high temperature of about 103 degrees right after birth. It starts to fall to about 101.5 to 102 degrees within a few hours," says Robert Callan, Colorado State University veterinarian. "If it drops below 100, this means the calf is unable to thermo-regulate to keep him warm." If calves are born in cold weather or wind, their temperatur
Ranchers using fall and winter pastures that are short on stock water, or where water sources freeze in winter can let cows eat snow in regions that get adequate snowfall.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. Imagine becoming ill, nothing serious or life threatening, just something that requires overnight hospitalization.
A consistent rumen environment every day for every dairy cow is a prime input for financial success, but too often feed variations result in losses, a Diamond V regional sales manager warns.
Dick Fredrickson, veterinarian at Simplot ranches and feedlots of Grandview, Idaho, says protein deficiency in cows is an important factor in whether their calves do well. If cows don't have adequate protein, they can't produce adequate colostrum. "This is the key to a healthy calf, assuming cows have adequate forage," he says.
Susceptibility to bovine respiratory disease, commonly called BRD, is 19% heritable, according to new research coming out of Colorado State University.
Native grasses that have proven themselves suitable to the Shackelford County, Texas, environment are the backbone for cattle and wildlife on the Merrick Davis Ranch, operated by H&M Cattle Co.
Sitting in a back corner of the garage workshop where Mike Dyer keeps his trapping supplies are the bottles of lure. Some are store-bought, some are homemade and some are a combination. The exact contents are unknown, but we're talking fish innards, fox urine, groundhog musk, opossum scat, etc. The bottled slop is caught between molding and rotting. Even with the caps screwed on, this is the worst-smelling garbage you can imagine.
It was a tough day back in August when David Iles Jr. milked his cows for the last time. After that last milking, D.E. Iles Dairy of Littleton, N.C., was no more — Iles carried the last of the animals to market that same day."The cows looked at me like they were saying, 'What is this all about?'" Iles says.
Animal biotechnology has expanded in the last three decades. Public perceptions will continue to play, a significant role in the development and commercialization of its applications, says a report from the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, or CAST.
South Dakota State University livestock researchers are trying to determine whether the genes cattle inherit help determine the way they respond to vaccinations.
Answer: This time of year usually brings numerous sitings of raccoons, skunks and foxes, both on roadways and around farmsteads. This makes it a good time to review rabies and the potential animal reservoirs.
September in the Southwest conjures up visions of fall — and some thoughts can turn to growing winter wheat pasture for stocker cattle grazing.
A good calving facility — even if it is little more than a few panels and a simple head catch — can increase calf survival and health, rebreeding rates, and overall profits — not to mention easier and safer calving for both the cattle and the people assisting them.
Veterinarian Monty Belmer details the cause and symptoms of rumen acidosis and explains how long to segregate castrated bulls.
The recall of hundreds of millions of eggs contaminated by salmonella from two Iowa producers — Wright County Egg in Galt, and Hillandale Farms in New Hampton — illustrate how bad apples can spoil an industry.
For two decades it looked as though Michigan's free-ranging, white-tailed deer herd was clean of bovine tuberculosis. In 1994 that bubble burst. The slowly developing bacterial disease surfaced again in a deer surrendered by a northeast Lower Michigan hunter.
In 1996 at the Michigan Limousin Association State Show in Midland, Ervin Alexander stood proud as five of his animals took high honors, including Grand Champion Bull, Grand Champion Female and three division winners. Years of selective breeding and more than 40 years of AI work were paying off. Or so he thought. It didn't play out like that when it came time to sell.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, now known as PRRS, is pitting pork producers against each other in Indiana. One lawsuit has already been filed, and the Indiana state veterinarian has been criticized for not adequately protecting Indiana hogs from pigs infected with the disease.
Beef Quality Assurance has become more important than ever to producers and veterinarians to ensure they're producing a wholesome product with no drug residues, meat blemishes or lesions that result in cut-outs in the carcass.
Horn flies will soon be bothering cattle. The best way to give the animals some relief from horn flies is to use several different control methods, say Janet Knodel, North Dakota State University Extension entomologist, and Greg Lardy, NDSU animal science department head.
GeneSeek Inc., a Nebraska agricultural biotechnology service provider, has grown into one of the largest companies of its kind in the world since it began in Lincoln in 1998.
On April 24, USDA announced that tests showed a dairy cow in California had contracted the first U.S. case of BSE disease discovered in six years and only the fourth ever confirmed in this country. However, the animal did not enter the food supply.
Roundworm is the most damaging parasite that affects sheep, says Reid Redden, North Dakota State University Extension sheep specialist.
Helping beef producers become more profitable and identifying methods to make an operation more efficient are just two goals associated with a program offered by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
The 2011 record drought and merciless heat hammered rangeland. More than 30,000 fires burned 4 million acres. Hundreds of thousands of cattle were impacted.
The pork industry isn't the only sector of agriculture that opposes federal regulation of animal care. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association opposes a legislative proposal that would take animal care out of the hands of egg producers, concerned it could lead to regulation in other sectors.
Two bulls in southwest Iowa have tested positive for trichomoniasis, a venereal disease in cattle. State agriculture officials made the announcement June 1 and issued a quarantine order for the facility where the two bulls were tested.
Not far over the Hancock/Henry County line in Henry County you'll find a farm that raises forages, goats and llamas. It's a goat dairy, one of the few in Indiana, and it's well on its way to turning milking goats into a profitable business.
Austin Hinds, food-animal medicine and surgery specialist at the Caine Center, University of Idaho, says hardware problems are most common in dairy cattle and feedlot beef animals.
Mature cattle generally have more incidence of hoof cracks than young animals. "Dairy cows that live on cement year-round develop more foot problems, but I do get calls from beef producers that say they have a lot of cracked hooves," says Mike Mehren, livestock nutritionist in Hermiston, Ore.
Cases of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, were reported this summer in South Dakota cattle herds and in white-tailed deer. EHD is viral disease spread by flies. Russ Daly, South Dakota State University Extension veterinarian, answers some frequently asked questions about the disease and its origins:
Construction on the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, or NBAF, in Manhattan is just getting started, and it will be six years before the facility is fully operational.

Three research themes define the Center of Excellence of Emerging and Zoonotic Animal Diseases, or CEEZAD, at Kansas State University.
When the topic is foot-and-mouth disease, the phrase "not if, but when" is enough to create terror in the minds of farmers all across cattle country.
Frank Reese raises turkeys the old-fashioned way at Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch, near Lindsborg.
Fourth-generation poultry farmer Frank Reese, who raises heritage breeds of turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese near Lindsborg, sees the lack of biodiversity as the downfall of the country's commercial poultry production system.
MSU's Poultry Research and Training Center has a new facility like none other in academia across the United States, according to MSU Poultry Extension specialist Darrin Karcher.
Limping sheep? C
Last fall's harvest conditions in many key corn-growing areas were conducive to mold growth and mycotoxin contamination. Even if those conditions didn't exist in your area, purchased corn may come from miles away and could be a problem.
The recent corn harvest was quite unfavorable, and livestock feeders need a long-term plan for feeding the 2009 crop. In much of the Midwest, corn harvest was later than in any year in recent memory, and the prolonged moist conditions in many cases caused molds to develop on the kernels, as ears were standing on stalks in the field.
A producer's ability to correctly use an animal health product determines the product's ability to perform. Human error is often responsible for a product's perceived failure.
This month I'll continue discussing bacteria that cause mastitis. As you may remember, we covered the Gram-positive bacteria last month, so this month we'll cover the Gram-negative bacteria, which are usually referred to as coliforms. Gram-negatives are common in a cow's intestinal tract. Because of this, they are everywhere in the cow's environment. Infections by this family of bacteria can range from mild to very severe.
You cannot see or smell it, yet this silent killer causes reproductive failure in sows and respiratory disease in young pigs.
Some very determined swine farmers and their veterinarians are working toward eliminating a devastating disease from herds in southern Minnesota.
Scott Dee is a veterinarian on a mission: To eradicate pork reproduction and respiratory disease syndrome virus from state and U.S. swine herds over the next 20 years.
Diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans are termed "zoonotic" diseases. One of the more common zoonotic diseases is that caused by the protozoan parasite cryptosporidium.
Choosing a good bull and using medicine the right way can go a long way in improving your herd.
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, or FSIS, has announced new methods with increased efficiencies for testing residues in meat products. Iowa State University Extension swine veterinarian Jim McKean urges pork producers to review their operation and management decisions regarding drug usage.
Like many farmers, dairy producers want to increase their profits after a sluggish economy while still producing the best milk possible. One way to increase profits is to improve dairy-herd management.
Drew Gaffney does more than preach to Nebraska producers about the value of Beef Quality Assurance. He pockets an extra $20 per head in value at market time by practicing BQA principles in his cow-calf and yearling operation.
Tim Shelton, a well-known farmer in Dry Fork, Va., grows tobacco and grain, and raises cattle.
In the mid-to-late 1980s, the beef industry paid scant attention to the genetic influence of cows and heifers on the overall performance of a cattle herd. That fact didn't escape the attention of Patsy Houghton, then a Kansas State University beef cattle Extension specialist. Her focus on heifers intensified when KSU implemented a cow-calf student project designed to help students learn the artificial insemination process.

North Strabane planning $1 million in road repairs
More than $1 million in road paving and maintenance for the coming year is being planned in North Strabane Township.
A list of township roads slated for paving this year has been assembled for the board of supervisors. The board was expected to authorize its engineer to prepare bid specifications at the Jan. 22 meeting.
The roads being considered for the 2013 pavement maintenance program include: Chubbic Road, from Hatfield Lane to Route 19; Galley Road from Linden Creek Road to the Peters Township line; Willow Street from Locust Street to its dead end; Poplar Street from Locust Street to the Summerbrooke development and from Locust Street to Sleepy Hollow Road; Sleepy Hollow Road from Poplar Street to Willow Street; Locust Street from Willow to the dead end; and Lindley Road from McBride Road to Johnson Road.
Also on the list are Chambers Lane, School and Hook streets from Weavertown Road to the dead end; Pike Street; Township Lane from Route 519 to Linden Road; two alleys off Weavertown Road and Pike Street; and the public works lot.
Of the projects, the one for Lindley Road is estimated to be the costliest, $261,847, followed by Chubbic Road at $218,943.
The board will also consider a one-year agreement with the Frank Sarris Public Library Association. Under the agreement, the township will make a contribution to the library based on its assessed millage rate of 0.0002511, which township manager Frank Siffrinn said amounts to between $46,000 and $47,000 a year.
Greg Sulc, park director, told the board that pavilion reservations at the park will be taken beginning at 8 a.m. Feb. 2 at the township building. Nonresident rental reservations will be taken beginning at 8 a.m. March 2. Deposits are $100.
The rates for the three smaller pavilions, which seat about 40 people, have been reduced from $75 to $60. But rental fees have been increased on the larger pavilions,which seat between 150 and 200 people, including McDowell and Quail pavilion to $175 and the McClelland pavilion, $225.
Also for the legislative meeting is a vote on the final site plan approval for the new Studio 6 hotel. The 86-room hotel is to be built on Houston Square Drive off Route 519.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
Predictability and cliches get in the way of comedy here, especially with a lead character who rarely comes across as more than blandly sweet.Nicolas Rapold, New York Times, 09.26.2013
It would have worked better if the silly premise had been played for farcical satire, rather than following the cookie-cutter rules of the romantic comedy playbook.Claudia Puig, USA Today, 09.26.2013
For a chick flick that meets the first two criteria of the Bechdel Test (it has at least two women who talk to each other), "Baggage Claim" fails the third (about something besides a man) big time.Annlee Ellingson, Los Angeles Times, 09.26.2013
A romantic comedy so light and brainless you almost expect it to float away.G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle, 09.27.2013

The two things that need to happen before wearable tech goes mainstream: Google and Apple
There's a flood of wearable tech arriving early 2014, and it feels unavoidable. Look around and spit, and there's a product in the works. Samsung, Sony, LG, Huawei, Pebble, Garmin. They're all coming sooner or later, be it by wrist or glass. January, February, March, April: most of the wearable gear we've seen at CES and Mobile World Congress will be here before you know it.
So fast, so soon, so sudden: does it mean wearable tech's great time has come? Or, does it really mean what I think it means, that everyone's trying … Read more

Protein shakes are nutrient supplement and made from protein. Like every other supplement, this supplement can be used in the place of food because it contains the necessary amount of protein that is required by the body.
This nutrient supplement is often used by athlete for body building. Protein is known to be the building blocks of our muscles, bones and skin, therefore when this supplement is taken by the athlete the result is an increased muscle strength and size.
With this supplement, the tolerance of these athletes to exercise is greatly increased making them able to withstand more exercise that will build up their muscle.
Protein shakes can be available in different concentrations of proteins, carbohydrates and fat. Though some of these shakes contain 100% proteins, some are well mixed with carbohydrates and fats. The reason why this supplement is so common is that the means of taking it is made very easy and enjoyable for everyone.
Most people like to take shakes and taking an energy supplement as a shake makes it no less attractive for people who like shakes. This protein drink gives the extra energy that is needed for the extra work and is sometimes used by people to replace a proper meal.

1) No problem. This is a very normal set up. It is allowed to put 15 amp receptacles on 20 amp breakers. The wiring undoubtedly is 12 guage, adequate for the 20 amp breaker. The idea is that it is not necessary for each individual receptacle to be 20 amp rated, as very few devices found in the home require that. But by making it a 20 amp circuit, you are less likely to run into trouble when a lot of items.....computer....etc.etc. are plugged in the same room/
2) Not sure about that.....waiting for input from others.

A Strange and Distant Land
A Newcomer's Guide to Lynchburg (A Tale of Groundhogs, Westerns, and Awkward Conversation)
by Zachary Woolard
118 miles upriver. This is the span between my city of seven years and the city of seven hills.
Richmond, meet Lynchburg.
First off, I couldn't even say it out loud, "We're moving to Lynchburg". Lynchburg seemed dull, reminiscent of a sleepy, backward, town of yesteryear. I had resolved that my next season of life would be one of "making the most of it". This was a sacrifice my fiancée and I would make as we invested in our future, at the expense of our present.
I moved to Lynchburg on March 15th to begin training as an Academic Advisor.
Everything I owned fit in the back of my car. I survived at first on the generosity of a friend from Richmond, himself having recently made the transition westward. I soon began the adventure of finding a place to live in a town I knew nothing about.
I found a gem on the north side of the city—a historic apartment building dating back to the 1920's. I loved the architecture, the floor plan, and even the neighbors. One recent morning I was greeted by a veritable petting zoo in the backyard: lizards, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and groundhogs.
The city then started to show its true colors, a vibrant array of people from all walks of life—tattooed hipsters, corporate bankers, country clubbers, and disc golfers. It seemed that Richmond didn't have the exclusive on being cosmopolitan.
Having found a place to sleep, I needed a decent meal. I have a penchant for independent Mom and Pop, hole-in-the-wall, off the map culinary options. After surveying the cookie-cutter, just-off-the-highway offerings, I feared that Lynchburg may have an insatiable taste for the bland. So I started asking for recommendations. They came in droves: brick oven perfection at Rivermont Pizza, happiness in a mug at The Muse Coffee Company, and more doughnuts than I am proud to admit at The Father's Table.
I wasn't prepared for what came next: The Cheesy Western from The Texas Inn (the T-Room to lifetime 'Burgers). Imagine a hamburger, blacktop griddled to just short of a hockey puck. This is then topped with a fried egg smother in cheese, onions and a pickled, mustardy, cabbage relish. The whole combo is served on a bun alongside a bowl of chili beans with an icy cup of buttermilk. All together you have the best, worst mistake you can make.
Lynchburg has been more than welcoming. The best example being the parade of hugs and handshakes exchanged between the hours of nine and noon on a Sunday morning. As a proud member of team introvert, the church equivalent of speed dating is a truly terrifying experience. I keep my eyes moving, hastily sit back down, and do everything I can to keep my hands in my pockets. I usually escape unscathed.
The captain of a greeter brigade took awkward to a new level. He actually reached into my pocket for a handshake. A bit off-putting at first, I realized this intrusion was because he was overjoyed that a stranger had come into his midst. In his own weird way, he wanted me to know that I was welcome, that I could make a home there if I wanted.
The whole experience made me realize that Lynchburg is all in all, a little weird, definitely different than Richmond, but a good different.
I have grown to understand that my time here is a gift, an opportunity to grow and explore, to get lost in the unfamiliar, and to rediscover myself out of my comfort zone. And so to all of you—like me—who once were, who are, or will someday soon be new to Lynchburg, I leave you with a word: WELCOME.

text: Caltrans will activate ramp meters (stop and go lights) on both Douglas Boulevard on-ramps to westbound Interstate 80 beginning Monday, August 19. The ramp metering is necessary to relieve congestion and to allow for safe merging from the on-ramp to the highway. The stop and go metering will operate during the peak commute times of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. California Highway Patrol will likely be in the vicinity of the ramp to enforce the new meters. A traffic study was completed to set the metering rate, which is expected to be similar to other meters within Roseville. For the first 2 to 3 days, Caltrans will have staff on site to monitor and adjust the ramp metering to ensure optimal operation. Ramp metering throughout all of California is owned and operated by Caltrans. For more information, contact Deanna Shoopman, Caltrans Public Information Officer at (530) 741-4572.

AUSTIN -- State troopers were called in after a hearing on abortion laws turned into a frenzy shortly after midnight.
Hundreds of women from across Texas showed up at the Capitol on Thursday to testify against the House version of a bill which would regulate abortions in Texas. They say it's waging a war on women, but many were told those sentiments would not be heard.
Just after midnight Friday, Republican Committee Chairman Byron Cook told the crowd that their testimony was becoming too "repetitive." More than 200 women in the hearing room and 100 in an auxiliary room immediately began to protest. That's when state troopers were called in.
"Many people who had driven in from far corners of the state where not given an opportunity to testify despite getting here, so peple got understandably upset," Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Heather Busby said.
Cook had to suspend the hearing and left his seat. When he returned, he told the crowd that he would allow 50 more women to speak, which took more than three hours.
The committee did not take a vote on the issue Friday morning.
