Joseph Sugg writes: We began with an early start at Addenbrookes, at 6:30am, to meet up with Adrian and John. We took a leisurely three hours to get to Tissington. The journey can be done in two and a half hours if you so wish.
Tissington is in the south of the Peak District National Park and is about three-quarters of the way down the Tissington trail. There is an intact platform and a refreshments kiosk. The trail is entirely off-road and follows the path of the now disused railway line. The Tissington trail meets up with the High Peak trail further north.
At Tissington we met up with Averil and Mike C, who had driven up separately. We began by riding south along the trail towards Ashbourne. The Tissington trail ends at Ashbourne where there is cycle hire and a refreshment kiosk, where we had our first coffee of the day.
We now had to leave the relatively flat trail. Most roads in the peaks go up or down, some more steeply than others! After a gradual climb up the B5035 we turned onto a minor road and discovered some very steep hills. The descents are not easy either because you have to watch the cars and gravel on the narrow roads. We then rejoined the B road and climbed again for a while. Then it was a brief but fast bit of downhill down to Carsington Water.
At Carsington there is a large visitor centre and shops and a cafe. The well-surfaced cycle trail goes right round the reservoir but we left at the northern end and rejoined the B road. We left the B road shortly and raced down a very steep incline into the village of Wirksworth. It was one of those hills where you daren't let go of the brakes!
Wirksworth was our lunch stop and John, myself and Adrian went into the pub for a meal. The Roast was a very reasonable £5.99 and there was a selection of ales on offer including the pub's own brew.
From Wirksworth we set off up the hill to join the High Peak trail at Middleton Top. This turned out to be a very long steep climb up the B5023. Here we joined the High Peak trail.
The High Peak trail runs from Cromford in the south and runs NW for about 15 miles until it joins the Tissington trail at Parsley Hay. Cromford lies in the Derwent valley so when the railway was built, engineers had to find a way of getting trains up an incline of over a thousand feet in five miles.They built a winding engine at the top of the incline and literally winched the trains up four similar inclines ranging from 1 in 14 to 1 in 8.
We rode up some of these inclines, and I can verify that they are very steep indeed. Bottom gear was employed for much of the climb and, of course, I had to stop to take photos. At the top there is the winding house museum which shows the winding gear still in situ.
From here the trail flattens out and although some of the surface is a little bumpy it is eminently passable. Having been told it was only a couple of miles to Parsley Hay I left the others and charged ahead. At this time of day on a Sunday there are a lot of other users on the trail but most are very polite and move aside without being asked. This part of the trail is very high up and affords fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and ragged outcrops of rock above your head.
Mike's prediction proved a little out as it took me 8 miles to reach Parsley Hay, just beyond the junction with the Tissington trail. Here I sat down for a well earned cup of tea and ice cream.
At Parsley Hay we left the track and descended down a fast windy road that cut
through the rock towards Hartington.
Just before Hartington we climbed back up via the B5054 and rejoined the Tissington trail, heading south, at Hartington station. There is an intact signal box here which you can view.
From here we rode the final 5 miles back to our cars at Tissington at 6:00pm, all downhill!
Total mileage: 40 miles of very enjoyable country. I arrived home at 9pm, but it was worth the long drive to enjoy such spectacular cycling. Joseph Sugg.

What's your Hot button topic?
What is your hot button topic?
Re: What's your Hot button topic?
My hot button topic is abortion. I don't like to get involved in discussions that make me angry though so I stay away from it.
Re: What's your Hot button topic?
Animal abuse/neglect....ohhhhhhh boooooooi...and lately H1N1 is picking my rear end too. Ok I know everyone is freaking out but really you have about as much chance of dying by getting hit on the head by a friggin coconut...ahhh shutting up now before someone comes and starts in on me.......:rolleyes:
Re: What's your Hot button topic?
Mine is also abortion. I'm pro life. I frequent the debate boards but I won't even open the abortion debate, it hurts my heart too much.
Re: What's your Hot button topic?
Re: What's your Hot button topic?
My hot button is the H1N1. It REALLY bugs me how the media is saying protect yourself, get the shot like every 5 mins on every radio staion. NOT ONE WORD about how to strengthen your immune system to prevent getting sick, or get better faster and improve your overall health!!! :brickwall::brickwall::brickwall: I hate how everyones acting like its the black plague too. I mean honestly though, people die from the normal flu, the only difference here really is that its advertised more. Im SO SICK of hearing about it. I mean, I've improved my immune system, Im in a college where there are 3000 first year students alone and H1N1 is flying around there like wildfire and I havent gotten sick. Guess I should get shot and stop improving my health :rolleyes:
AND I hate how no one can put anything up in facebook about it, and how to improve your health, or the dangers of vaccines without someone attacking them and acting like they are the antichrist. Heres one my friend put up as her status and got blasted for it: "90 people get Swine Flu and everyone wants to start wearing a mask, over a million people have AIDS and no one wants to wear a condom."
And finally bad grammar, thats always been a huge annoyance for me :D

Fastrac All-Weather Blox (128 bloxs)
On Sale!
Buy Now
Terry from Cocoa, Florida writes,
Which rat bait poison do you recommend for use in the stations?
Our three most popular rat baits are: Fastrac Blox- which offers the fastest kill (about 12-24 hours) and is considered the top choice for rodent infestation cleanouts. Many folks choose Fastrac Blox because it is one of the few that can still be purchased in the smaller 4 lb pail. Contrac Blox - kills in about 3-7 days and is usually chosen as a maintenance bait. Contrac also has a readily available antidote in case of accidental ingestion by non-target animals or children. Final Blox - Kills in about 2-4 days and is used when there is still a high pest pressure and then as a maintenance bait.

It looks like he's going to propose, and I know exactly what I'm going to say.

This is a story written in chapters that pose as stories. It should be explained that each of these purchases is a cliff hanger, and constant purchases and downloads are necessary.I believe a book, even an audible version should tell a story and not leave the listener feeling cheated
Other romance and erotic type books by Audible that I have read tell a complete story. One feels like one wants to read the sequel...not that one HAS to read the sequel
Kitty Bang is a talented narrator. She assumes her character's voice and inflections beautifully.
The story might be good if it was all contained in one or two editions.
I find it hard to believe that this series gets so many stars. I know that Audible reserves the right to print a review. I hope that the good and bad reviews are being posted. This is the only series that I have reviewed. I am usually easy to please. My opinion has merit.I would have been happy to ask for a refund for these (I bought them on sale, rather than using credits). I imagined they were short stories about arrangements and so I saved them for a number of plane flights I was going to take this summer. Pity that I won't know how The Arrangement ends, because I will not waste any more money on this story. Too many honestly written good books out there.

Good Points
Nice range of attachments.
Bad Points
The main attachment - the blending stick - lost an essential component and was rendered useless after being used less than half a dozen times. Breville don't offer spares service for this part, which requires purchase of the entire blending stick at a cost of '£8 plus postage. They don't stand behind their products very well.
General Comments
I wouldn't buy another Breville product, given their customer service. If you want a nice hand blender, I recommend the Dualit hand blender - nice hand hold, good selection of attachments, good performance, easy to use.

Freshwater - Drivers and pressures (Turkey)
- Topic
- Freshwater
The most important pollution factor of Turkey's rivers is discharging of domestic, industrial and agricultural wastewater to the rivers. Unfortunately, there are still many highly polluted rivers in Turkey. Another reason for the pollution of rivers in Turkey is erosion. As a result of soil erosion, phosphorus with solid materials is carried away from the agricultural area to the surface waters which cause eutrophication. Population increase, urbanization, industrial activities, pesticide use and excess use of fertilizers are other factors that rapidly increase river pollution.

The camera crew follows Gracie through a Vale Tudo tournament
The camera crew follows Gracie through a Vale Tudo tournament
vtfu! thank you so much for posting this....i have wanted towatch it for quite some time
have a great weekend HKP, thanks again
The fight ends when someone quits or is knocked unconscious. Don't look to the referee for help. If you get into trouble, your opponent will break your elbow, knee you in the head, or choke you out. This isn't ancient Greece or Rome. This is Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, or New York. The time is now. Welcome to the world of no-holds-barred freestyle fighting...the fastest growing "sport" in the United States, Brazil, and Japan. CHOKE follows undisputed World Freestyle Fighting Champion Rickson Gracie as he prepares to defend his title in a one-night, single elimination tournament where the winner will fight 3 separate fights over five hours. The World Cup finals of hand-to-hand combat.
This exquisite piece of work is far more professional than any of the American pro wrestling mega-event videos produced recently. The often-gory fights are well handled and only play a small role; this video is not solely about fighting. Done in documentary style, "Choke" takes an introspective look at the men--their goals, their dreams, and their families--who become the ultimate fighting machines in the ring at the 1995 Vale Tudo World Fighting Championship in Tokyo. \n Delving into the life of the undefeated and undisputed world freestyle fighting champion, Rickson Gracie, a 30-year-old jujitsu expert from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this video displays a side that you rarely see in sports: the articulate, intelligent family man who turns his training into the art of movement and athleticism--not violence. It also explores the world of two men expected to offer a serious challenge to Gracie: American heavyweight kickboxer Todd "Hollywood" Hays and Japanese shootfighting heavyweight champion Koichiro Kimura. These two men provide some of the more uplifting moments in the documentary. Hays, who is also a member of the U.S. Olympic bobsled team, explains how he will use his performance money to fund his dream of buying a bobsled that will allow him to be a driver in the 1998 Winter Games. Kimura completes his training but then has to ask the permission of his elderly parents to compete. The big man bluffs his way through with a warm smile and a respectful manner.\n "Choke" is an insightful look at a full-contact, controversial sport. The only warning it should carry is that some of the scenes are graphically violent and some of the language is X-rated. "--Gordie Sholtys"

Wessex FM News
Council Slammed Over Redundancy Letters to Pavilion Staff
2:34pm 10th April 2013
The Council has apologised after a letter was sent out to Weymouth Pavilion staff asking them to pay for their redundancy notices.
Mail workers couldn't post the letters to staff working at the venue because the Council failed to use enough stamps on the envelope.
It led to Pavilion workers being asked to pay over a pound to collect.
Councillor Ray Banham has apologised and told Wessex FM, it was an honest mistake: "Mistakes can be made, quite easily. As soon as it was realised an apology was sent out and it was put right."

|Peter Greenaway.
"It is a curiosity that every new visual technology in its infancy seems to gravitate towards erotica and pornography - oil painting on canvas in the 1520s, photography in the 1850s, cinema in the 1900s, the Internet in the 1980s and Second Life in the 2000s. Is it a flagrant demand for attention, a cynical attempt to attract funding, or a real curiosity to see what the greatest attention-puller of all time - sex - will look like in a new visual language?" "This same-characteristic could be said to apply to the newly enhanced technology of the visual imagination of the 1590s - the printed metal-engraving. And perhaps its major practitioner at that time was Hendrik Goltzius, master-printer with a damaged right-hand, whose mastery of the burin was unrivalled across Europe. It helped of course that the current fashion in visual imagery was the mannerist enthuiasm for the nude in every conceivable position, contortion and exhibitionist display that could be imagined." "As with all new technologies, the new and often experimental equipment involved was expensive, and the makers had to be persuade, coerce, beg, plead, bribe and fight to find the funding to support it." "Goltzius & the Pelican Company is the story of the Dutch engraver Hendrik Goltzius persuading one of the petty German princelings of Europe to pay for an expensive printing press to make a limited deluxe edition of a boldly illustrated Old Testament. And like a good advertising executive hoping to clinch a deal Goltzius is prepared to sweeten his offer by getting his Pelican Printing Company from The Hague to fulsomely dramatise six erotic biblical tales that demonstrate the six sexual taboos - voyeurism, incest, adultery, pederasty, prostitution and necrophilia. They start with the very first copulation tutored by Saton on Adam and Eve, and continue with the story of Lot and his daughters, the adultery of David and Bathsheba, the seduction of the under-aged Joseph by Potiphar's Wife, the demonisation and disloyaty of Delilah and the humiliation of Samson, finally skipping to the New Testament, to finish with the necrophilic tale of of Salome and John the Baptist." "Since it is 1590 and Europe is about to plunge into savage and bitter religious wars, tensions are high in the German court striving for liberty of thought, but there is another more insistent and constant perpetual war that never ends, has few truces, no peace conferences and persistent aggression, and this is the never-to-be resolved battle of religion and sex."--Jacket.

"tutoring for grammar school is cheating". AIBU to be fuming at DSIL's attitude?(665 Posts)
namechange coz as much as I don't care if she reads this, I don't want her to know my normal nickname.
I am getting my DD tutored for grammar school. DSIL thinks it's cheating if she can't get in without being tutored and will therefor struggle when she gets there. for fucksake, the exams are not based on school curriculum - it's like being a brilliant footballer but been trialled to get in the team on your ability to tie your laces. fucksake.
Anyone else encountered this attitude?
Oh I can add hypocrisy to the list? Her DD audtitioned to go to Stage Boarding School. Did she do any practice/preparations for the audition? Only 9 lessons a week, every week, for 6 years.
AIBU to be cross?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Is your SIL jealous, insecure, stupid or all three?
FWIW, in response to those who are saying you're unreasonable, the national curriculum
is dire and doesn't cover many of the areas which come up on the grammar school papers and so the chances are that any of the few children who won't be tutored for the tests will be severely disadvantaged.
I live in a grammar area too and really hoped to follow your sister's idealistic view.
But now the time is getting close(ish) - DS will be sitting 11+ in Sept 14 - I have caved in and put his name down for tutoring starting this September. He is in top sets at school indicating he is GS material.
Reason is that I have discovered that almost all his contemporaries are already tutoring so I know he will be a step behind if we don't.
I thoroughly dislike the fact I've caved into this way of thinking but I do not want to jeopardise DS chances of a better education by sticking to my principles. The local non-grammar school is not good.
The system makes it tough to be brave enough not to tutor, I would like to see a movement to the so-called 'tutor-proof' papers that I believe they're introducing in the Chelmsford schools. Until then I will put my son on an equal footing with the other children sitting the exam.
everyone is tutored whether they admit it or not.
Not everyone no. Although DS2 is very average at GS, he only got A's and a couple of B's, he certainly isn't with the elite 15 x A* brigade, but he wasn't down with the strugglers who flat lined B's and C's and got asked to leave on GCSE results day.
I agree with your SIL.
I went to a grammar school and we all knew the kids who had been tutored to get in. They did struggle.
I'm just glad I live in Scotland.
The English system is nuts.
And what about the student who's parent's can't afford tutoring? As far as I've read on this thread, it's not about the intelligence of the child, it's about the 'tricks' to learn how to get through the test.
IMO it is cheating.
I think I would rather struggle at a grammar school than drown completely at a standard comp.
I don't think it's cheating at all, I think it's helping your children achieve their potential.
Does your Sil not have grammar schools where she lives, is she jealous of you? Does she not want your children to succeed academically?
Why did you not mention her DD auditioning etc...
"sil"DSIL thinks it's cheating if she can't get in without being tutored and will therefor struggle when she gets there"
" oh really oh dear, is this is what happend to your DD then? are you speaking from experience"
however , tutoring was much rarer then. I, and practically everyone else, did a few practise papers and relied on very ordinary community primary school to teach us well enough to get in.
If everyone is tutoring though, like they say on here, then I can see why you'd go down that road. I would!
Agree totally with Raspberrysorbet.
Grammar schools here do not teach the skills needed to pass 11+. Like any other test, familiarity and awareness of what is going to be tested in necessary for success so I agree you do need to be prepared, whether that is tutoring or any other way. It is not unreasonable. My untutored son failed his 11+ and is now going to Oxford so I am very sure it is not an intelligence test just a skills one
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
sorry meant primary schools don't teach the skills needed to pass state grammar 11+ exams.. no non verbal work is done which anyone can pass with practice to determine the patterns.. maths that is not on national curriculum is on 11+ etc etc . S my personal experience is that tutoring is needed but it is for parents to determine if their kids are actually bright enough to cope once they get in .. the enterance exam does not determine this
Learning HOW to learn and learning exam technique is not cheating.
And who gives a fig what your sil thinks?
The exam results at 16 and 18 are all you need to think about.
at all the comments about how a DC will invariably struggle to keep up if they are tutored in order to pass.
Some DCs scrape a pass despite heavy tutoring. Consequently they struggle to keep up once in. So of course ALL tutored DCs will struggle goes their argument.
Mine scored 60ish% in mocks without tutoring. With tutoring he scored 90ish%. He passed and is thriving.
As for tutoring being cheating, is going to training sessions before a competition cheating? Or is one expected to just turn up on the day without any prep?
"any parent worth their salt would do whatever it take to get their kids the best education" But what if grammar is not what is best for the child, what if they get into grammar because they have been tutored - so are just repeating a formula in the 11+ and not really a true representative of their abilities. That is what you risk by tutoring, yes you get a "better" school but your childs self esteem could be damaged by struggling at school and feeling a failure.
I think YABU OP
everyone is tutored whether they admit it or not like Holly says this just isn't true - but keep telling yourself that if it's what you want to believe.
Parental support is key to education whatever school your child goes to, if you are going to keep up that support after the 11+ go ahead, my major beef is that many 'abandon' their support afterwards or ruin their child's enthusiasm for learning by placing unrealistic burdens on their DC. My DS's kids are
totally fricking awesome and thrived by DS and BIL recognising their talents - that didn't include forcing them into an academic path they wouldn't have been happy with.
Bit of snobbery to think that grammar or academia is more important than being hugely talented at any other type of learning.
There is a difference between practicing papers and being tutored. My dd did practice papers at home her friend had a tutor the friend started to struggle after yr8.
If you feel your child's education has not been up to scratch through primary then yes use a tutor but if a good primary then just do practice papers instead.
Grammar schools aren't more difficult...for the children that have the right level of ability.
It's like only teaching to the top two groups in primary, all the time- that's where the teachers aim their lessons. And where they should be aiming their lessons- the whole point of a grammar school is to push the able kids to the best of their ability for those A*s! Not for teachers to spend the bulk of their time effort getting the C/D students to pass.
If the ability isn't there, then yes- grammar school will be more difficult.
Catering for special needs eg dyslexia where the brightness is there, I very different from differentiating across a large range of abilities.
*is very different
I don't think it's cheating - I would do the same to get my son into grammar school. In our area, getting into the grammar opens up huge opportunities that other schools do not.
However, I think the whole 11+ system is grossly unfair and flawed. The test is meaningless and it is increasingly becoming the case that those who can afford to be coached get in - hardly a level playing field for all. There are some incredibly bright kids at high schools who have been scandalously short-changed because their parents could not afford a tutor, they had a bad day on 11+ day, or their brains simply don't work in the very particular way that the test is set.
And of course he won't struggle if tutored to get in. You're just teaching him the very particular (and archaic) rules he needs to follow to pass.
I know someone who has two dc that went to grammar school. Her dd scraped in at 11, but she was hard working and thrived. She's now studying law. Her ds was very smart in primary school and sailed through the 11 plus. However, since he was so bright, he had not developed a good work ethic. He got very average GCSE's, and only just was allowed into the 6th form. He's had to resit his AS levels, and is considering if Uni will be right for him. His mum describes him as bright but lazy.
So it's a bit simplistic to say that every child that scrapes in will struggle.
My dd was in special class for maths in yr 4. She had a dreadful yr3, her school burnt to the ground infront of them whilst they were trapped in a small play area, her male teacher just had no sympathy or empathy for the children who were psychologically affected. She was bullied and every school day was 2 hrs longer after that as they had to be bussed from our village to a town to a different school.
I knew she was capable, she'd always been capable, always quick on the mark. She's now yr 9, not been tutored since yr 5 and predicted A in GCSE maths.
If she hadn't been tutored she wouldn't have got into grammar as she had holes in her learning, she has never had an extra support lesson in grammar school.
However, several of her friends who passed without tutoring at all, have had extra lessons in maths and English provided by the grammar as they are lacking base skills. Funny that.
I agree with your SiL too.
But, if you believe you are doing the right thing for your dc, then why worry about what someone ele thinks ?
Hahaha at 'cheating'!
Passing exams, jumping through hoops, same difference - it's just a trick.
Whether it is worth doing, for an individual child, is another question entirely, but cheating it is not.

Terry's baba ghanoush
Was the aubergine dip worth the bedlam? Yes
MY husband is cooking again. The kitchen has become a coalmine, judging by the banging and clanging in there. It is not a safe place to be. I just know that all the cutlery drawers will be open while he works, taking in crumbs, oil spills and the general detritus of cooking. I found half a lemon and a lamb chop in the knife drawer once. So I am not going back in there until he has finished.
Mind you, he comes into the living room a lot. Domestic blindness has set in and he cannot find the tahina he has bought, nor the lemon squeezer, nor the lemons. Each stage of making this Middle Eastern aubergine dip is so precious, so miraculous that he…

We stayed here for just three days prior to a safari. It definately has a transit hotel feel to it. It's very pretty to look at, the grounds are nice and the rooms a good size and faacilities all there.
The rooms are single glazed and we were unfortunate to be on the main pathway (315), we didn't realise the impact until about 5am on the first day when I thought people were in the room due to the noise. It's so loud it's very difficult to sleep beyond 5am - this was a real down side.
There are two swimming pools, the one at the restaurant is more for decoration but there is a pool at the back for swimming and lounging but the water is way too cold to be comfortable.
We used the beauty salon for mani and pedis and this was good. We also used the hotel casino, it's just the other side of the car park. It was good fun and very cheap so made a nice night out.
Finally, we found the reception staff pretty unhelpful. One evening we asked them for a restaurant recommendation. After looking blankly at us for a few minutes she rang the attached fast food restuarant to see if they knew anywhere! Really you don't have a book of recommendations?? This was typical of the service on reception we found.

Speaker Problem ?
I have a set of pc speakers that work on a usb connection.
Trying to get a new set, non usb, working.
I guess the plug for these goes to the green jack on the back of my Dell pc.
Right ?
Nothing coming out.
How do I tell W7, or the pc, to use this jack, now, rather than usb ?

Open the Windows playback properties and make sure that the onboard sound is set as the default playback device. If it isn't showing, double check in the bios that it is enabled. You may also need to install the driver for it.

Thanks for help.
Hate to appear dumber than I am with this "stuff," but
where do I find "windows playback properties" that you refer to ?
Is the green colored jack correct for this ?
|My System Specs

Yes on the green jack.
You can find the playback settings by right clicking on the speaker icon near the clock, and selecting from there.

Though Americans would be able to look back in hindsight at 1777 as the year the American Revolution reached a turning point in favor of the colonists, the winter of 1777 was still considered a miserable point for the cause at the time. Although Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates were victorious at Saratoga, George Washington and his Continental army had been less successful. After being pushed back into Pennsylvania at the end of 1776, Washington attempted to surround the British army as it invaded Philadelphia in 1777, but he failed miserably. At the Battle of Germantown, Washington was defeated and forced to retreat, and on October 19th, 1777, the British entered Philadelphia and the Continental Congress fled to nearby York. Ultimately, it would be the French, not Washington, who forced the British out of Philadelphia. After learning of the French entry into the war, the British immediately abandoned Philadelphia to garrison New York City, which the British feared could be taken by French naval assault.
After another disappointing year of defeats, Washington's 11,000 men entered winter quarters at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, about 20 miles outside of occupied Philadelphia. His army had repeatedly faced a lack of discipline and chronic disorganization, and Congress began to consider replacing Washington as Commander in Chief after the fall of Philadelphia. General Gates, who had received the lion's share of the credit for Saratoga by marginalizing Benedict Arnold's role in its success when he submitted his report to the Congress, was floated as an alternative, and Washington was understandably devastated. Making matters worse, the winter was unusually harsh, leading to an estimated 2,000 or so deaths in camp from diseases. Gouverneur Morris would later call the soldiers at Valley Forge a "skeleton of an army...in a naked, starving condition, out of health, out of spirits."
However, it was at Valley Forge that Washington truly forged his army. He introduced a more rigorous training program for his troops, sponsored by Prussian General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who had fought with Frederick the Great. Like the Marquis de Lafayette before him, von Steuben came to Washington's army via the recommendation of Benjamin Franklin, who hoped to use their appointments to curry political favor internationally. Despite speaking little English, von Steuben went about drafting a drill manual in French, and he personally presided over training drills and military parades. With the help of von Steuben, the Continental Army left Valley Forge in the spring of 1778 a more disciplined army than ever before, and the worst of Washington's failures were behind him.

Get the Print Edition!
Valley Forge is an iconic story and location, and it merits a better overall treatment. If you buy this, get the print edition, but do not make it your main source for the history of Valley Forge.
The Narrator.
The narrator did not take the time to learn how to pronounce a number or personal and place names central to the Valley Forge story. He utterly mangles 'Schuykill', and 'VonSteuben', for example. Since the encampment at Valley Forge was hard by the Schuykill, and VonSteuben central to molding the Continentals into a unified force, they're two massive blunders. There's no way to explain the mangling phonetically, but it is so bad, so distracting that I couldn't finish the book. Going to look over a print edition and see if it's worth buying. This one is an offense to historical ears.
Remind narrators that any words outside of their cultural or geographical comfort zone should be double checked. The utter mispronunciation of important terms, personal and place names is an embarrassing mistake, and pure laziness on the part of the narrator and producer.
- Marie C.

Kenevo - for low mobility
Reclaim your sense of security
For a new safety standard
Walking for the first time on a prosthesis means building trust step by step. This also applies if you are using other aids such as a walking stick or less active. Only when confidence is growing in the prosthesis system, you become more flexible and independent, for example, from the help of relatives.
Therefore, the Kenevo focuses clearly on safety. The knee joint is the world's first fitting solution of the latest technology specifically for the needs of less active people - as a leg prosthesis the Kenevo sets a new global standard. With its special basic functions it provides support in typical everyday situations. Moreover, the activity modes provide high adaptability. The Kenevo grows with your skills, for example during rehabilitation, and adapts itself equally well for a decreasing amount of mobility.
Interested in the Kenevo? Book an assessment at one of our private clinics.
Carbon fibre frame
In order to withstand the varied demands of everyday life, the frame is made of carbon - an especially strong, high-grade and lightweight material.
AXON tube adapters
Sensors in the tube adapter measure the ankle moment and the vertical force acting on the joint. The sensor data help make a natural movement pattern possible. For the first time walking after a leg amputation, this is a valuable technology.
Rechargeable battery and knee angle sensor
A rechargeable battery provides the energy required to control the joint. The knee angle sensor provides important information to precisely determine the forces acting on the prosthesis.
Inductive charging unit
The inductive battery charger is magnetically attached to the back of the knee joint - easy charging through the thin clothing fabric is therefore possible.
Integrated Bluetooth technology permits simple communication with the knee joint. An existing connection is indicated by an LED.
Inertial Motion Unit and Electronics
Gyroscope and acceleration sensors let you determine position and speed in space. A microprocessor receives the signals and controls the motion of the joint in real time. An important prerequisite for high safety and to adapt to the skills of the prosthesis user.
Hydraulic unit
The hydraulic unit is controlled by the microprocessor. It generates movement resistance, allowing adaptation to the individual needs of the prosthesis user.

Benefits at a glance
Supported sitting down
The Kenevo automatically detects when you sit down and supports you. Even if your movement is slow, you stay in control, because the joint bends accordingly slowly. This feature makes the Kenevo a very stable leg prosthesis. With your hands, you can hold on to the chair or a walking aid while sitting down.
Supported standing up
While standing up, it is possible to put weight on the Kenevo. Even if you need to pause again, this is not a problem - the leg prosthesis reacts immediately and allows a pause with the knee flexed. This is a function for balance and stability.
Enhanced safety
Carpet edges, thresholds or other tripping hazards should not be an obstacle. Using the stumble recovery Plus, the Kenevo recognizes if you stumble and run the risk of falling or stop a movement. The knee joint then switches immediately into a high flexion resistance.
Wheelchair function
Thanks to additional ground clearance the Kenevo also facilitates sitting in a wheelchair. With only one hand movement, the knee joint can be locked between a slightly bent position and an almost stretched leg. This prevents the leg prosthesis from getting caught on the ground.
Standing function
Independently of the selected activity mode, the Kenevo provides the highest possible safety for standing. In activity mode A and B, safety is guaranteed by the locked stance phase. The stance phase refers to the moments where you stand on the floor with the prosthesis. In the more dynamic activity mode C, stable standing is possible thanks to the intuitive stance function even with the knee flexed.
Unique swing phase initiation
The swing phase refers to the part of walking, where the prosthesis swings through during the heel-toe gait of the other leg on the ground. In activity modes B and C, the swing phase triggers reliably even for small steps and at varying load, e.g. by walking aids. Even when walking very slowly, there will remain enough clearance to ground while swinging through. All this ensures high safety.
The Kenevo has three activity modes. This gives it an extraordinary ability to adapt to your individual needs and developing skills, for example during rehabilitation. Your orthopaedic technician adjusts the activity mode suitable for you on the knee joint.
Mode A: Locked Mode
In mode A, the Ottobock knee joint is locked and does not initiate a swing phase. Thus, the Kenevo, as a stable prosthesis, provides maximum safety and does not allow unexpected movements.
Therefore, the locked mode is suitable if you have little control over your residual limb, usually only go short distances indoors and mostly sit.
Mode B: Semi Locked Mode without stance phase flexion
In this mode B, the joint is locked during the entire stance phase. It unlocks when you start the swing movement of your leg for the swing phase. This is largely independent of your gait pattern and whether you are using other walking aids. The Kenevo initiates the swing phase always at the right time.
This activity mode is especially useful if you have a medium control of your residual limb, cover short distances and walk slowly.
Mode B+: Semi Locked Mode with stance phase flexion
This activity mode corresponds to the mode B, but is supplemented by a stance phase flexion at heel strike of up to 10°. What sounds technical, means that you can walk on moderate slopes. As soon as your heel hits the ground, the knee bends slightly. This results in a movement that looks more natural.
This activity mode is suitable if you have already built enough confidence in your prosthesis in order to walk with stance phase flexion.
Mode C: Yielding Mode
A more natural walking with the same high level of safety can be reached in the Yielding Mode. In comparison to the other activity modes, the stance phase in mode C is not locked, but has a high attenuation. This helps you go with the transfemoral prosthesis on level ground, on slopes and stairs. The swing phase can be initiated earlier, which facilitates the more dynamic movements.
Activity mode C is suitable for you if you can control your residual limb moderately, are able to deal with various everyday situations and cover short to medium walking distances outdoors.

Annie Landon has given up on finding Mr. Right, and has gone out looking for Mr. Tonight instead. A conversation overheard in the bathroom of Dionysus's Bar about a jilted and lonely "Greek god" in need of a quick pick-me-up sounds like just what she's looking for.
But picking up the god of love for a one-night stand is easier said than done--especially when he's sworn off mortals forever.
Eros has been down and out since his ex-wife left him, and falling for another mortal woman is the last thing he needs. Which means a maddening desire for the woman across the street is not in the cards. Thus begins his quest to find a match made in heaven for Annie. It's the perfect plan ... if only Eros can bear to let the girl of his dreams go.
Can a woman looking for love, and a matchmaking god who wants her to find it—with someone else—have a shot at a happy ending, or will Eros's golden arrows miss their mark, for once?
I just love books that are based on mythology! It was always one of my favorite subjects in school and I still get excited to read books or watch tv or movies that have anything to do with mythology. This particular book focuses on Eros but we are also introduced to a myriad of other gods and goddesses both minor and not so minor. Even the great Zeus makes an appearance. This comedy of errors and love gone awry was delicious.
Ms. Bennett's take on the gods, goddesses and how they would be living in today's society was fun and interesting to read. Of course I fell in love with Annie but she sure had horrible taste in men. That douche that she was interested in was such a dog! I enjoyed seeing him being put through the hoops and being made to squirm. The twists and turns and mad cap zany antics made this story a breath of fresh air to read. It kept my interest and I kept head slapping myself at some of the idiocy of the characters. I spent a good portion of the book, lounging in bed and occasionally muttering to myself: "idiot!" "So stupid!" "What a douche!" Yep, it was one of those books where my kids were giving me weird looks and wondering if Mom had FINALLY gone round the bend.
So if you are looking for a lighthearted, fun, romantic, comedy to pass your time, this is the book for you. I really look forward to reading more books if this will be a series. Would love to see Dionysus get what's coming to him *winks*

Mealtime in Sunbeam's early childhood programs builds community and provides routine and structure that some children don't experience in their homes. Two nutritious meals and a snack are served each day and each meal is served family style, where children and teachers eat together. Meals and snacks are prepared fresh, include a variety of fruits and vegetables and do not include sugar as a main ingredient. As little as $15 provides meals for more than 200 children for a day or $75 provides meals for a week.
Parents know that filling their child's backpack with school supplies is expensive. It's even more of a financial strain for Sunbeam's more than 200 grandparents who are raising their grandchildren on a fixed income. Each May volunteers come together to fill approximately 400 backpacks. $75 fills a backpack for one child with pencils, pens, notebook paper, folders, notebooks, rulers, scissors and markers.
Students who attend Sunbeam's early childhood programs are welcomed into classrooms each day that are comfortable, child-centered learning spaces that encourage interactive learning, exploring and play. A gift of $500 provides furnishings, curriculum materials, art supplies, and interactive toys for one of the 16 classrooms.
Sunbeam places a strong emphasis on training and support of foster parents, leading trainings once a month to help them learn about the emotional complexities foster children experience, such as grief and trauma. Parents often come to the trainings after work, bringing their foster children and own biological children, leaving little or no time for dinner. Your $25 gift will help to provide a meal for the family to enjoy together before their training.
Art is fun! It's also the way children learn fine muscle control, hand-eye coordination and self-expression. Art is an important part of Sunbeam's early childhood programs. $50 provides paint and materials, brushes, crayons, markers, scissors and paper for a classroom.
Reading to infants and young children builds healthy brain development, rich vocabulary and increases the bond between child and caretaker. The books will be used in a Sunbeam early childhood classroom by teachers, parents and volunteer Reading Buddies. A gift of $25 can provide three books.
Sunbeam operates Oklahoma's only Emergency Shelter for seniors. The 11-bed shelter allows vulnerable seniors a safe 30-day stay where they are provided home-cooked meals, case management, laundry service and access to Sunbeam's counselors until they find permanent housing. A $50 gift provides a week's worth of meals, housekeeping and case management, for one senior or $500 for 10 seniors.
Sunbeam creates a nurturing home-like atmosphere for homeless seniors who come to the emergency senior shelter. In addition to a case manager who walks a client through accessing community resources and permanent, safe housing, three delicious meals are served each day. Mealtime allows clients time to visit with staff and other residents, forming bonds in a relaxed environment. A gift of $30 provides a day of meals for 10 seniors.
Seniors 55+ who volunteer in Sunbeam's Foster Grandparent program help students, pre-kindergarten through third grade, achieve school-readiness skills. The volunteer is an extra help to the teacher and a mentor to the students, but the experience also brings a great deal of purpose and joy to their lives as they are able to give back to a school in their own community. Volunteers give 15-40 hours a week of their time in the classroom. $25 helps with one senior's mileage reimbursement.
Nothing is more frightening than when a loved one with Alzheimer's disease, autism or Down syndrome wanders away from home. Sunbeam offers Care Trak, a safety bracelet that works as an emergency transmitter. When a loved one is missing, the family notifies the police department and the mobile receiver picks up the radio signals from the person's bracelet. Your gift of $125 will help subsidize the cost of one bracelet for a family.
When children are removed from their home in situations of abuse or neglect, they often leave without anything of their own. That's why Sunbeam provides each foster child with a bag of essentials—diapers, clothes, toothbrush and formula. $250 can provide such things as shoes, overnight toiletries, a jacket and diapers for five children.
Families in Sunbeam's early childhood programs often struggle to stretch their dollars far enough to buy food and pay utilities. A gift of $165 can help provide diapers for more than 550 children a day, alleviating some of the extra cost for parents.
Sunbeam's counseling services uses such expressive therapies as art and pet therapy. For many, talking about a traumatic event or emotional experience can be extremely difficult. Through the use of these nurturing interventions, an atmosphere of safety and relief emerges. $100 sponsors an hour of art or pet therapy.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 6-week series of classes that Sunbeam offers to help family caregivers who spend a lot of time focusing on others learn self-care. The series addresses how to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, better communicate feelings, learn about balancing their lives, improve their ability to make and locate helpful resources. A gift of $25 helps to provide one participant with the class training material book, The Caregiver Helpbook.
At OKC Educare an onsite health coordinator schedules immunizations and regular vision and hearing checks for each child. In addition, a counselor provides mental health services to children and their families. A $40 gift helps to provide these screenings for one child.
