Far less commonly used than Windows or Apple computers, Linux is popular amongst technically-minded people but is not advised for a novice! There are a number of different versions of Linux (called "distros") available, with different accessibility features. The main screen reader under development is called Orca.
Orca has been included as part of the GNOME desktop since version 2.16 (September 2006) and is included in many distros including Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Debian and (optionally) openSUSE.
Orca comes with the Festival or eSpeak synthesisers, depending on which distro you have. Support for contracted braille is via the liblouis project which ships with many distros.
Earlier versions of Orca included a basic magnifier with options for foreground and background colours and the mouse pointer. The current version, 3.4.2, does not include magnification.
Vinux is a distro designed for blind or partially sighted users - it has a speech-enabled installation, full screen magnification and braille support, and it includes a lot of accessible applications.
The Speakup screen reader can be run on a number of Linux distros including Debian, Slackware and Fedora Core. It does not include a synthesiser, but works with a variety of free and commercial hardware or software synthesisers (e.g. eSpeak, Festival or Flite, which are all free, and Fonix DecTalk).
Emacspeak is a speech interface which uses "audio formatting" - variations in voice inflection and other characteristics together with non-speech sounds to convey information about layout and formats. Its latest release is Emacspeak 36.0 (EPubDog), and it supports IBM ViaVoice TTS and Fonix Software DecTalk software synthesisers as well as DecTalk hardware synthesisers.
Laptops running Google's Chrome OS - Chromebooks - have been available in the UK since the summer of 2011. All applications are run through a browser interface, with a pop-up taskbar . Without an internet connection, therefore, you can do little with a Chromebook.
ChromeBooks have a non-standard keyboard with a Search key where most keyboards have a Caps Lock key. The top row of the keyboard holds a number of action-specific keys such as Previous Page, Reload Page and Increase Volume.
There is a built-in screen reader called ChromeVox, which can be started at the login screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Z or from the Settings screen (click "Show advanced settings" and then check "Enable spoken feedback"). ChromeVox is basic but workable.
ChromeVox uses the Shift + Search combination as the ChromeVox modifier, so for instance, ChromeVox + RightArrow, which moves to and reads the next screen element, would mean holding down the Shift and Search keys and tapping the RightArrow.
It is possible to zoom a page with the keystrokes Ctrl+Plus/Minus. It is also possible to change the display from within the Settings area (click "Show advanced settings" and then look for "Font size" and "Page zoom". Further down the page is an "Enable high contrast mode" checkbox). The size and zoom settings do not affect the Address bar or Settings menu.
It is possible to change screen colours with a theme or extension from the Chrome Web Store. A theme is a preset colour scheme and an extension adds or changes Chrome's functionality. The Extension category on the Chrome Web Store has an "Accessibility" sub-category which contains a number of potentially useful extensions.

As a retired mechanic,I have alot of tools. Almost anything you could think of I have, This is only true if you are working on older cars or trucks. Newer vehicles are more compack, tighter places to work. Trying to get my socket on a Ox sensor on my Ford taurus I wondered how to they ever replace these little devils. This is where a flex ratchet comes in handy, This ratchet should be owned by everyone. Buy at the local Sears, not on the computer. I had a bad experience buying this way.

Good tool - has not let me down yet and always the ratchet i reach for when i am working on anything that i need more leverage to break free. Once broken in seems to work better...

Bought one of these over 30 years ago and have abused and used it as my #1 choice in ratchets. I'm buying another one for work. I've put cheaters on it and used it heavily and the flex head still holds it's position with a socket on it.

It's strong built and easy to use...the flex handle helps to move away to the area with space so you can gain leverage.
Lemoore, CA

As with most all Craftsman hand tools, this one is sturdy and well made...doesn't feel like a Lowes or HD tool, it's a solid piece of metal and hopefully will last me forever. Haven't ever had issues with sockets and ratchets from Sears!

This ratchet is great, awesome for odd angles- it helps me to keep my sanity. I couldn't ask for more. And if it would ever fail, well, it's got a lifetime guarantee.... what more could I ask for?

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2007 HALL "Kathryn Hall" Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted predominantly from the fruit of the illustrious Sacrashe vineyard, exuding the dark, dense, powerful character of this distinctive vineyard site.
Heady aromatics of black spice, blackberry and freshly turned earth launch into a loaded palate of dark plum, briar fruit, leather and smoke. Dense yet sweet tannins lend grip and cadre. Crafted at our gravity-fed HALL Rutherford winery, the HALL "Kathryn Hall" Cabernet Sauvignon is undeniably complex and enticing, and will gracefully evolve for 12-15 years.
"One of the richest Cabernets of the vintage. Amazingly soft and velvety in the mouth, yet there's a solid grip of acidity and tannins that balance the richness. The flavors are extrodinary, ranging from blackberry and cherry-pie filling through currant liqueur and milk chocolate to leather. So decadent now, it's hard to resist, but should develop for 4-6 years." 96 Points Wine Enthusiast
"The gorgeous 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up notions of bay leaves, new saddle leather, black currants, blackberries, and spring flowers. Dense, full-bodied, and opulent, with superb purity and length, but no hard edges, it should age effortlessly for 15+ years. Range: 91-93 " 93 Points The Wine Advocate
Hall Wines is located in Napa Valley and employs organic small-vine viticulture, precision winemaking, wild-yeast fermentation and micro-block blending to fully extract the purity and quintessence of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Their estate vineyards encompass more than 300 acres of classic Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The Halls have a...Read More About Hall
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity.

The name Texarkana is a combination of the names 'Texas' and 'Arkansas.' The city of Texarkana straddles the state line between these two states, and the dividing line is State Line Avenue. The name actually originated from an abbreviation of these two states and Louisiana (ANA), because the surveyors thought the city would cross all three. When you book your EasyToBook.com budget hotel in Texarkana, just make sure you know which side of the border you're booking in.
For reasons that are not entirely clear or agreed upon, the town of Texarkana has become known for ghost stories and other mysteries involving ghoulish villains. The Phantom Killer was the serial killer who killed five people in 1946. The killer was never caught, the killings stopped as suddenly as they started, and the police files mysteriously disappeared. As of 2006, the case was still open and unsolved, and legend says that the killer will return someday to kill again. In the area of Boggy Creek, there have supposedly been sightings of a bigfoot type monster. The legend has been made into a series of films that were not very commercially successful.

Summary of Ethics
Reviews for Ethics
An Excerpt from Ethics
"The noblest and most lovable of the great philosophers...ethically he is supreme." Bertrand Russell
Published shortly after his death in 1677, Ethics is undoubtedly Spinozas greatest worka fully cohesive philosophical system that strives to provide a coherent picture of reality and to comprehend the meaning of an ethical life. Following a logical step-by-step format, it defines in turn the nature of God, the mind, human bondage to the emotions, and the power of understanding, moving from a consideration of the eternal to speculate upon humanitys place in the natural order, freedom, and the path to attainable happiness. A powerful work of elegant simplicity, Ethics is a brilliantly insightful consideration of the possibility of redemption through intense thought and philosophical reflection.
The noblest and most lovable of the great philosophers ... ethically he is supreme. (Bertrand Russell) |

The only problem with Walter´s list is the fact that it is poorly named. It should be called "My List Of Idiots."
She could do an inside story about a female journalist screwing a politician -- say, a black Republican U. S. Senator from Massachusetts -- to further her career.Utterwy fascinating.
Ba ba wa wa is a loon, who doesn´t have enough sense to retire with grace and go away.
Baba never met a TV executive that she wouldn´t jump in the sack with, as long as he could help her.
Time for Babs to retire to Pokey Folks nursing home. She is about 2 decades past her sell by date.
Senility isn´t pretty.
Maybe they will do to her what Roy Rogers did to Trigger.
Yeah Barbara W. has always been facinated and distracted by pretty shiny objects. Her list stopped being relevant years ago.
Walters named "The Most Vacuous and Inconsequential Person For 2012." and the last 2 decades.
I think Baba Wawa actually died in 1997...she just hasn´t fallen over yet.
Some people just don´t know when to quit and BaBa WaWa leads that list.
A dubious honor.

Recap of the Test Track 2 Imagineering live chat
Aug 27, 2012 | 1:58pm EDT
New Test Track entrance marquee
The Test Track 2.0 live chat with Imagineer Melissa Jeselnick has just concluded over at the
official Disney Parks Blog
. For those of you who may have missed it, here are the highlights, along with a new rendering of the entrance marquee.
Question about how the new queue will look.
Melissa Jeselnick: The queue, the whole attraction is completely reimagined. The queue will look like nothing our guests are used to seeing it look. We'll use the space to introduce guests to Chevrolet's Automotive Design process - how it starts with a line and ends with the cars you can buy on the showroom floor. We'll have actual items, sketches, cars, models from GM that have never been seen before by anyone outside the Chevrolet family. It's basically changing from testing to design.
Melissa Jeselnick: Let's talk about the Design Studios. In the studio, you have a chance to design your own custom concept vehicle. That design follows you into the ride, which is still the same physical ride that our guests know and love. You'll ride in our sim car. As you move through the space, your custom design will be scored in areas such as Capability, Efficiency, Responsiveness and Speed.
When asked about the TRON type appearance of the artwork.
Melissa Jeselnick: I think the new attraction and the artwork represent the digital age, and when people think about what the inside of a computer looks like, that's what you think of.
When asked about if the track layout will remain the same.
Melissa Jeselnick: Yes, it's still the same track layout that we know and love.
Question about how customizing the car will work with multiple parties being in the same car at one time.
Melissa Jeselnick: Everybody in the vehicle will have their ride design, whether they designed individually or as a group. As you move through the four groups, you'll see how the design stacked up against the sim car design.
When asked about what we should be looking forward to most.
Melissa Jeselnick: I think the coolest thing is how we integrate the pre-show with the experience, and then in the post-show, your ride vehicle travels through the entire experience with it. And you can keep interacting with your ride vehicle after.
Question about what will be new in the post show area.
Melissa Jeselnick: The post-show will kick off with a scoring opportunity, not just with the guests in your car, but guests throughout the day. From there, we'll move into other opportunities to play with your design with multiple interactive elements. The show room space will still be there with the Chevrolet cars, and we'll have our own photo ops with different concept cars.
When asked about the music.
Melissa Jeselnick: It will be futuristic. We'll have a whole new soundtrack that will not only compliment the attraction with music, but special sound effects too.
Question about the show scenes.
Melissa Jeselnick: Let's talk about the four show scenes in more detail. Capability is where your car is tested for rough road and weather conditions. Efficiency tests your car design's environmental footprint. The Responsiveness phase tests maneuverability, and finally, Speed is tested.
Question about what brought about the changes.
Melissa Jeselnick: The whole automotive design process has evolved since Test Track opened and things have moved into the digital realm, and the same has been true for WDI's design process. It updates the automotive story to reflect what is happening today.
When asked about how much of the ride will be real sets VS screens.
Melissa Jeselnick: We talk a lot about being in the digital space, but it's still a physical experience. We're using a lot of new technology to tell the story, but it is still a dynamic physical experience.
How FASTPASS vs Standby will work.
Melissa Jeselnick: The full experience allows you to do a lot of customization with your vehicle; the FastPass and Single Rider lines allow for an expedited queue experience and select you a custom vehicle of your choosing to take with you on your ride all the way through the post show.
When asked about new technology in the attraction.
Melissa Jeselnick: Our team is so excited to bring new interactive technologies to the guest to enhance Future World and put the guest at the center of the experience. All of the software is custom for this attraction.
Melissa Jeselnick: The experience will be dark, but more importantly, I think we're pushing the envelope as far as the use of new technology, so it's not really a traditional "dark ride."
Below is a rendering of the new Test Track entrance marquee.

The Holland Recreation Division has partnered with the Holland Community Aquatic Center to provide an excellent program and facility for summer recreational and instructional swimming. The emphasis is to provide instruction for all youth to gain knowledgable swimming and water safety skills.
Classes are available for the lowest skilled beginner to the most advanced swimmer. Children must be at least 4 years old to enroll in the swimming program (age as of the first day of class).
Class size is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If your child has been placed on a waiting list, it will be noted on your receipt. Registration deadlines will vary for each session. Registration will be handled through the Recreation Office at the Civic Center and online, NOT at the Aquatic Center.
All classes will take place at the Holland Aquatic Center, 550 Maple Avenue. All levels of instruction, ranging from Pre-Beginners to Advanced will be offered each hour. Participants will be screened on the first day of class and assigned to a class level appropriate to their ability. Students must furnish their own suit and towel for lessons.
This is a summer program only. Information on 2014 classes will be posted by April 1, 2014.

Are You a Strategic CFO? Seven Essential QuestionsCFO Insights |

Email | RSS | Twitter
Today's environment requires a CFO to be not just a strategist, but a pragmatic strategist.
CFO Insights: Are you a strategic CFO? Seven essential questions
As the CFO role continues to evolve, it is imperative that finance executives up their game strategically. That doesn't mean simply knowing the latest strategy theory or fad. It means being able to advance your organization's growth or improve its competitive position by identifying the key constraints holding it back, and then using finance to free it from those constraints. In other words, today's environment requires a CFO to be not just a strategist, but a pragmatic strategist.
In this issue of CFO Insights, Ajit Kambil, Ph.D., global research director for Deloitte's CFO Program and a director with Deloitte LLP, draws from his experience leading the Deloitte CFO Transition Lab™ program worldwide to explain how CFOs may become pragmatic strategists and in the process identify opportunities for finance to create value.

How do you make a pendant out of these? or something similar.
Thanks much.
Link did not work!
have to c/p it I guess
Oh, they're cute. What are they made of? I'm guessing there's a whole in the bottom of each in order to fit over a pencil. I'm thinking a head pin thru a good sized bead then up through the bottom of the topper and out the top then forming a loop to attach to cord or chain. They can PROBABLY be drilled if needed. Maybe even an eye pin wtih a few bead hanging from them? Many possibilities, yes?
Lovebeingamom07, can you give us a few more details? Have you seen these made into pendants before and do you have a specific design in mind? Or are you just hoping they can become pendants? Do you want to weave them into necklaces, hang from chains, or use as pins you can wear? With more information we might be able to help you better.
Sharon Mc
Yes, I have seen them made into pendants so I know it can be done They just hang from a simple wire chunky bead necklace.
I think there is a hole too. Thanks for the tips!!!

Christians need to be equipped to refute Darwin's ideas and offer the truth of the gospel. Meeting both of these needs, these two unique pocket-sized New Testaments are unique and intriguing tools for an unbelieving world.
With commentary written specifically for atheists, this pocket-size Bible addresses their arguments, the ten most common mistakes they make, questions they can't definitely answer, and more. A great evangelistic tool!
Countless people have been deceived into dismissing God, believing that evolution is a proven scientific fact and that the book of Genesis has been shown to be a fable. This pocket-sized New Testament is an effective tool to share with evolutionists that explains the vital scientific and biblical facts about our origins and the truth of our great Creator.
Countless people have been deceived into dismissing God, believing that the idea of evolution is actually science, and that the historical book of Genesis has been shown to be a fable. Nothing could be further from the truth! These two very unique specialty Bibles answer skeptics' objections and help them examine the truthfulness of the Bible's claims. Their clear gospel presentation combines the full New Testament text with commentary and articles sure to rouse curiosity. Excellent even for Christians since they answer real-life questions in a way that equips Saints to help friends to seriously consider their eternal state and consider placing their trust in the Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Michael Yon called on his satellite phone to talk about what's going on in Iraq. I recorded it and it's up here for your listening pleasure -- nothing fancy, just a quick recording posted less than 20 minutes after it happened. Click here to listen.
A few key points: (1) It's likely to get worse before it's better; (2) No one seems to doubt Iranian backing for the violence; (3) This isn't about religion, it's about money and power; and (4) Unlike Al Qaeda in the north, this isn't so much a fight to the finish as violence as a negotiating tactic. It's not a civil war. Take a listen, and then take a moment to marvel at today's technology, which lets me do this stuff from my basement at the spur of the moment.
Meanwhile, Michael has a book coming out, Moment of Truth in Iraq. If you buy it through his site, you can get an advance copy shipping Monday. Otherwise it'll be out in a few weeks. (Bumped to top, since a lot of people may have missed it last night).
UPDATE: A reader who asks for anonymity emails:
Michael Yon is the same man who said that the sectarian strife after the 2003 invasion and before the 2007 surge was actually a civil war between Sunni and Shiite groups (I didn't entirely agree with him, but I wasn't over there as he was and is now), so for him to say that the current conflict in the south is not a civil war is a pretty big deal in my opinion.
Yeah, I assumed everyone knew that but I suppose it's worth pointing out.
Also, partial transcript here.

Huntington College Faculty Art Exhibit Opens on Campus
Huntington, Ind.—The Robert E. Wilson Gallery of the Merillat Centre for the Arts at Huntington College hosts the Biennial Huntington College Faculty Art Exhibit from October 3-26. Recent works by Huntington College faculty Rebecca Coffman, Elizabeth Frey-Davis and Ken Hopper will be featured in this exhibit. The gallery is open to the public weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and before all Merillat Centre performances.
An artist's reception and gallery talk will be offered Saturday, October 6, from 1-3 p.m. Chamber music will be provided by Sara Wall, Huntington College adjunct faculty harpist. The public is cordially invited to attend.
Rebecca Coffman is currently the Associate Professor of Art at HC. She has her BFA from Hardin-Simmons University (Texas) and her MFA from Texas Tech University. Coffman is a member of Christians in the Visual Arts, the College Art Association of America and the Nationals Council on Education of the Ceramic Arts. Recently, her works have been displayed in Jenkintown, Pa., Shreveport, La., Fayetteville, Ark., Carbondale, Ill., Milwaukee, Wis., Lancaster, Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Ind.
Coffman came to HC in 1993. In 1999, she taught a summer ceramic class at Indiana and Purdue University at Fort Wayne. Prior to HC, she was a production potter and taught at Hardin-Simmons University, Houghton College, McMurry College and Texas Tech University.
"For many years, I have been interested in how I might capture the liveliness and plasticity of the raw clay and reflect it in the fired vessel form," Coffman said. "This interest has become a major focus of my present body of work. I throw multiple parts to each vessel on the pottery wheel and then alter and assemble them into a whole. In the 22 years that I have worked with clay, the vessel has always been a part of my expression as an artist. For me, it has become so much more than an object of pure function, it has become a metaphor."
Elizabeth Frey-Davis is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Huntington College. She earned her BA from Houghton College and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Frey-Davis is a member of the College Art Association and the Christians in the Visual Arts. Her works have recently been displayed in New York, N.Y., Morristown, N.J., Richmond, Va., Denver, Colo., Houghton, N.Y., Madison, N.J., Brevard, N.C., and in the Republic of Macedonia.
Frey-Davis came to HC in 1999. Before moving to Indiana, Frey-Davis taught at the Academy of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station, N.J, for four years. She also taught at the Hunterdon Art Museum and Virginia Commonwealth University.
"The idea of relationship – the interconnectedness between things seemingly exclusive to each other – is deeply embedded in my work," Frey-David said. "Through color and mark making, I explore the dialectics of inside and outside, motion and stasis, darkness and light, the individual and the group. But this idea is strongest to me through my exploration of repeating subject matter multiple panels. The energy I sense in the spaces between things is as important as the objects themselves."
Ken Hopper is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Huntington College. Hopper has been teaching at HC since 1990 and is currently working towards a PhD in Art Education. He earned his BS and MA from Ball State University. Hopper is a member of the Mid-America Print Council and the National Art Education Association. He has assisted in producing numerous tickets, brochures and posters for various music and theatre productions.

Inside Collection (Book): Flowering Light: Kabbalistic Mysticism and the Art of Elliot R. Wolfson
Summary: Chapter Sixteen of Marcia Brennan's Flowering Light: Kabbalistic Mysticism and the Art of Elliot R. Wolfson
Imagine that you are standing in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. As you gaze upward, admiring the glorious frescoes by Michelangelo, little flecks of gold paint begin to flake off the ceiling. These floating pieces of gold look like gold leaf; very thin yet slightly sturdier than paint chips, they descend in a mixed blend that forms a beautiful meld. The illuminated golden flecks land sweetly and lightly, resting on your head and shoulders. Drifting downward like gentle, slow-moving snow, they fall in quarter-inch and half-inch pieces. As you stand amidst the falling flakes, you realize that this flurry is a visible manifestation of light that typically remains unseen. You then feel the quiet melding within yourself as you stand amidst a shower of ancient light that is embodied anew.
Like gentle snowfall, Wolfson's Self-Portrait in the Snow (2006) is a diaphanous image that remains suspended between visibility and invisibility, iconography and abstraction. The shifting field of the painted palimpsest seems at once to reveal and conceal traces of presence through the thinnest veil of forms. Warm wisps of rising white light appear against a pale, sky-blue background, while an array of flickering brushstrokes loosely collect and disperse into the spectral outlines of a face whose features are clouded in a gossamer veil. Regarding this artwork, Wolfson has explained that "Self-Portrait in the Snow just appeared. I did not intend to paint any face or image and it came forth on its own. It is a mystery to me."1 The painting's enigmatic presence seems to emanate from the simultaneous crystallization and dissolution of its internal forms, so that form and formlessness emerge as the single face of the image.
Like a negation that is also an affirmation, Self-Portrait in the Snow can be seen as an apophatic self-portrait, an abstract image whose features are "embodied naked" just as they remain "fully attired" within the half-buried surface of the painting. Instantiating another aesthetic translation of the coincidentia oppositorum, Wolfson appears to perform a saying of his own unsaying. Marking presence by showcasing the corresponding face of its absence, the painting vividly exemplifies the ways in which the diaphanous and the epiphanic again converge in Wolfson's oeuvre. Self-Portrait in the Snow can be seen as an elusive garment in which the artist's unseen likeness "is manifest in the hiddenness of its disclosure."2 Or, as Jacques Derrida observed of the genre of self-portraiture in general in Memoirs of the Blind: The Self-Portrait and Other Ruins, this image can be seen as an abstract embodiment of "the transcendental retrait [retreat or contraction] or withdrawal [that] at once calls for and forbids the self-portrait" (emphasis in original).3
Like an image glimpsed through a "cloud of unknowing," 4 or a screen that creates presence from a tissue of absence, Self-Portrait in the Snow resonates with another kabbalistic concept, that of efes. This mystical term connotes a sense of infinite nothingness. As Wolfson has observed in Language, Eros, Being, efes "technically demarcates the space suspended betwixt matter and form." This space between space thus encompasses the nothing that is everything, "the coincidentia oppositorum, the fullness of being beyond the polarity of being and nonbeing."5 In turn, Wolfson's abstract self-portrait can be viewed symbolically as a visual translation of the concept of efes, as an image that forms and dissolves in the space between space, and thus represents a portrait of the no-thing-ness of the forms between forms.
Contemplating the concept of efes while gazing intensely at Self-Portrait in the Snow, the viewer goes "deeper still":6
the silence
i speak
from wound
like eye
from gaze
the silence
i speak
As in Self-Portrait in the Snow, in "deeper still" Wolfson speaks in a language of silence as he again performs the disappearance of his own appearance. The veil of form that is just barely visible in the painting becomes the bandaged wound of the poem from which one tears one's gaze as the image "radiates the epiphany of not-showing."7
When asked to comment on his creative processes, Wolfson sent what can only be described as an apophatic reply. His enigmatic prose8 conveys a characteristic lightness of touch:
i do not know how the paintings emerge.
what i know is that i have a feeling,
and the feeling speaks to me in color formations
and then i try to follow that feeling.
they are done quickly…
the same is true of the poems.
one breath
Affirming an openness to what lies beyond vision, the painting and poem reveal the affirmation of sight as immersion in a snow-blind.

The Book Box!
I signed up for the Traveling Book Box a few months ago at Moonlight Book Reviews. Erika had a lot of people excited about this box and I thought it sounded like a lot of fun too!
She filled it up with books and sent it along to the first person who picks out which books they'd like and replaces them with new books before sending it along to the next person.
This box of awesome arrived at my house this week! I was pretty pumped to see what kind of yummy goodness was in it and was surprised how many books were ones I was really wanting!
I originally made a vlog but my internet is being REALLY slow so here's some regular pics.
So here's the box full of books and swag. The tall stack is the pile of books I kept.
Here are the books (and some swag) I put in to replace the ones I took out.
I hope that people are excited about the books I put in. I picked out books that I thought people would enjoy, but I tried to keep it a bit eclectic. All the books I put in are YA or YA appropriate.
Thanks Erika for putting together this box of awesome!
10 comments:
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you'll take the time to leave a comment. I try to reply to comments on here and/or through email (if you have it set so you can get replied to by email) but I'm not ALWAYS able to.
I do not accept awards because I do not have the time to repost. I thank you for considering me and your comments are the best award I could get!

Best Mail Server 2.45
Fast and secure SMTP/POP3 server. Lots of features against spam and DDoS.
Best Mail Server is an ultra fast SMTP/POP3 server program. You can send mail from any mail client that is complaint with SMTP protocol using this server. You can also configure it to be your local mail server. It will accept mail on behalf of your users and store it, until your users will
retrieve it using POP3. Our main purpose in developing this server was to deliver the easiest possible configuration, while allowing you to be able to tweak any advanced features you want. This server can be used along with virtually any mailer or email program. It is simple, light-weight, powerful and absolutely bullet-proof. A lot of security features and options that allow you to protect the server from DDoS attacks as well as safely block SPAM and spammers are built into the server. SMTP and POP3 servers work as
NT services therefore they will keep working in the logoff mode. You can have multiple SMTP gateways in your server if you travel a lot with your laptop. This way, even if you cannot deliver your email directly to the destination, you will be able to still send it using one of the gateways. We
also created mailing lists functionality in the server. Using this feature you can actually use this server as a mass mailer. You can create as many parameterized mailing lists as you like.

Curious how to create rich, HTML email iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? iOS may show you fancy emails but it doesn't natively support creating them. However, there are tons of apps available that allow you to do so. Which one you choose is really a matter of preference. I've tried a couple and found Markdown Mail to be my personal favorite. Obviously you'll have to learn markdown if you don't already but I promise, it's dead simple. There's even a link in-app to a help page with all the syntax. Jump through to see how using Markdown Mail (or any other HTML e-mail app) can allow you to create HTML rich e-mails.
[$3.99 - iTunes Link]
I use Markdown Mail because it's simple to learn and integrates perfectly with the default mail app. You can simply create your e-mail in Markdown and send it without having to copy/paste anything over to the mail app.
As a side note, you can also choose to e-mail the markdown version as well. To do this, tap the arrow icon (bottom left) and choose e-mail markdown.
If you guys use a certain app to create HTML rich e-mail, let us know which one in the comments. If you decide to try out Markdown Mail, let us know how it works out for you!
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)
There is one thing I would like from the email client on the iphone, let me add a picture to an open or already existing email...I
m baffled it's not allowed yet...
There actually is, but it's not obvious how to. When you're writing your email, hit the home button (since the mail app is native to the iPhone and 1st party, this'll work, even before iOS 4), then go into your pictures app.
Locate the image you want to use, view it full screen, then tap and hold on it. The "Copy" pop up will show up.
Tap that, then reopen your mail app. The draft you were writing will still be there. Double tap, then select "Paste", and it'll put the image in for you.
You can do this with as many images as you want.
This is one of my pet peeves with iOS, that there's no API or system-wide way to do rich text. I'm hoping that Apple will deal with it soon but who knows when they'll get to it. It would be nice if you could do rich text with Mail and Evernote and all the other text editing apps.
Absolutely magnificent app. I actually went to Youtube to search for a video walkthrough for MarkdownMail and found Ally's video. Watched it and immediately went to the App store and paid for it...
MailSig. Not quite full HTML email but great for HTML signatures. It's template driven, looks good and easy to use. Setup your signatures, then tap one and it's inserted into an email. Works for replies too. I upgraded from the Lite version within 5 minutes of using it.
Chris (above) hits the nail on the head for me.
I want to use Rich Text in so many places and iOS is mostly a plain text environment.
Do you know of a note taking app with iPad support which allows for rich text (including bulleted lists and nested bullets?). I've searched but there's nothing out there as far as I can see.
If Markdown Notes comes out, I'll be first in line!
Note & share is great! I've been using it to convert markdown to HTML for my website when posting on the go!
There's a similar app, simpler but free:http://itunes.apple.com/app/markdown-composer-send-html/id421619832?mt=8
Am I the only one missing that you can't seem to use the markdown apps to reply to meesages, only to create new ones? Or is there a workaround?
I was the author of this post, and Im afraid Ive never heard of such a thing . I did a quick search to see if any blogging platforms say they are blind friendly, and I didnt come up with anything.
I will certainly keep an eye out for you, and will drop you a note if I discover anything.
bookmarked!!, I like your site!

California is generously endowed with sunshine - a naturally occurring energy source holding tremendous promise for helping meet the State's growing energy needs. The California Desert region holds some of the highest concentrations of solar energy in the United States.
California continues to be a pioneer in this area, offering incentives for small-scale solar development through the California Solar Initiative and mandating one of the most aggressive Renewable Portfolio Standards in the nation.
On public lands, solar development for large-scale electricity projects is just beginning, but the future looks bright. In late 2010, the BLM approved the first utility-scale solar energy projects on public lands. The BLM approved more projects in 2011, and continues to process applications, primarily in the California Desert. All are carefully considered through detailed environmental reviews with full public involvement.
Applicants have submitted proposals for a variety of solar technologies. These can be generally described as follows:
The BLM and Department of Energy have teamed up to direct solar energy development in the West through the Solar Energy Development Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The agencies have have identified 19 Solar Energy Zones, including three in California, in which to prioritize solar energy development. The Solar PEIS Record of Decision was released in October 2012.
As part of the Solar PEIS, BLM California is piloting the development of a long term monitoring and adaptive management strategy in the Riverside East Solar Energy Zone.
Additional Information on solar projects is available from the California Energy Commission Website.

By Andrew Glover
STILLWATER, Okla. —
There was no question that the Morrison Wildcats were dedicated in preparing for the 2006 season. In 2007, they took that dedication to another level.
"We never ended a practice without shouting 'gold ball'," then-starting quarterback Shawn Walls said.
Returning most of their core players from their second straight Class B state championship team, the Wildcats' dominance continued as they added another state championship trophy.
Two of those returning players were star quarterback Walls and star running back Ricky Holba. Teammates said Holba was faster than the previous season.
"He would get in the open field and no one could catch him," then-senior offensive lineman Will Childress said.
Holba said he had a great offensive line which made his job easy.
"I averaged 17 yards per carry," Holba said. "It was incredible the holes we had. There were several times, I wouldn't be touched."
Morrison did graduate several players but because the Wildcats had so many lopsided games, the younger players got plenty of experience.
"We were used to playing on Friday nights," then-defensive lineman Clint Sloan said. "There were games we got as much playing time as the starters."
Beside the skill of its players, the biggest strength for Morrison, is the bond between the seniors and underclassmen.
"(Will) Childress and I focused on pushing the younger kids during the summer," Holba said. "We go workout in the morning and come back in the evening for conditioning. In between, we were hauling hay."
"Starting in third grade we were playing Little League football," Sloan said. "We've been playing together for a long time and were used to playing with the older kids."
Just like the 2006 season, the Wildcats breezed through the regular season. The smallest margin of victory was 30 points. Holba said some of the teams' domination was due to playing a district with inferior teams.
"In the regular season, I think I had a little second half playing time in two games," Holba said.
The former running back said it didn't change how they prepared for games.
"We didn't take anyone lightly," Holba said. "We watched film and saw the things our opponents did well and tried to stop them."
The Wildcats' defense was stingy as no opponent scored more than 14 points. Childress said the defensive line was big.
"We kept two linebackers behind the defensive line," Childress said. "We kept people off the linebackers, so they could make tackles."
Morrison was unstoppable in the playoffs. In the quarterfinals against Weeletka, the Wildcats' defense only allowed 85 yards and forced six turnovers in a 43-8 victory. Holba rushed for a 59-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Morrison scored four rushing touchdowns and got pick-sixes from Will Childress and Jake Walls.
Against Garber, Holba rushed for two touchdowns and caught two and gained 339 total yards in a 46-6 victory.
In the semifinals, Morrison rematched with Pond Creek-Hunter. Unlike the year before there was no question about who the winner was going to be. The Wildcats scored 20 points in the first quarter and led 42-0 at halftime of a 48-0 victory with 5:49 left to play in the third quarter. Holba rushed for touchdowns of 56, 66 and 50 yards. He added an interception return for a touchdown.
The state championship against Dewar was no contest. Holba rushed for two of his three touchdowns in the first quarter. Walls also scored another touchdown to lead Morrison to a 28-8 first quarter lead. The Wildcats dominated the second half outscoring Dewar 24-12 en route to a 58-20 victory. Morrison out gained 440 yards to 312. Holba said it was one of the best moments of his life.
"Other than the birth of my daughter, it was one of the highest points of my life," Holba said. "It's a feeling you can never get back. I remember 2004, when we lost and the sour taste I had in my mouth. That loss motivated me the next three years to never leave anything on the field and made me work hard."
The championship was Morrison's 13th and fourth in the last five years. The 2007 season would be the Wildcats' last in Class B as they moved up to Class A in 2008.
"I think them winning the next year made our championship bigger," Childress said. "No one thought Morrison could compete in 11-man football. They ended up winning it."
Holba earned his associates degree from Northern Oklahoma College at Oklahoma State and works at H2O Sports Unlimited in Stillwater, selling boats and marine related parts. The former running back hopes to go back to college to get his bachelor's degree.
Childress went into Air Force after graduating from Morrison and helped build bombs and recently got out. The former offensive lineman now is in the Air National Guard and works for Drumright Pump and Supply.

The Lyons Recorder
Last week started a new feature in the Lyons Recorder called iamlyonscolorado. It will be comprised of photos (and a few words) of people that Lyons resident Kenneth Wajda has captured during his daily travels around town. Wajda is an independent filmmaker who has made several short films in and around Lyons. Prior to moving to Colorado in 2001 he worked as a staff photographer for a daily newspaper, The Trenton Times, in New Jersey for thirteen years. Since then, in addition to making films, he has worked as a freelance photographer and still shoots editorial assignments, commercial jobs, portraiture, (family, engagement, senior, etc.) and teaches nature and street photography.
Wajda explains how the idea of iamlyonscolorado came about, "I enjoy shooting street photography, which I call "life" photography, because it is both great exercise and it's like treasure hunting. It is quite fascinating how many moments cross your
It's a long way from Lyons to anywhere, "as the crow flies." Residents of Lyons have known that for some time; many of them live here for just that reason. But now it's official. Local artist Jake Pinello (he of the murals on the sides of the St. Vrain Market and car wash buildings) has just completed the latest addition to the burgeoning sculpture inventory lining the streets, paths, and parks of Lyons.
Pinello's sculpture, "As the Crow Flies," consists of four fifteen-foot wooden poles and a large rosecompass on the corner
How appropriate that an art show titled "The Holy Grail" would be presented in The Stone Cup. Lyons artist Sally King (of the bear sculptures seen throughout town) will be the featured artist at The Stone Cup & Kitchen beginning July 1, and running through September.

Tech fixes to wind turbine-radar conflict face hurdles
Emerging technology can ease the problem of wind farms causing interference with air-traffic control systems. But deployment of that technology in the U.S. has been slowed by questions over authority and cost.
Since 2006, radar maker Raytheon and National Air Traffic Services, which provides air traffic control in the U.K., have been working on a project to upgrade air traffic radar so it can distinguish between aircraft and wind turbines' spinning blades. Concerns over the disturbances turbines can cause on air traffic control systems are already stunting the growth of wind power: radar and wind turbines conflicts derailed … Read more

Nothing is more important to private investigator Sean Rogan than his relationship with FBI trainee Lucy Kincaid. But when his past catches up with him, Sean faces an ultimatum: clear his name and help the FBI take down a rogue agent, or go to prison and lose everything he holds dear. With only Agent Noah Armstrong as his back-up and forced to keep Lucy in the dark, Sean steps back into his old world. But the longer he's undercover, the more dangerous the game becomes. More than Sean's future with Lucy is at stake—so is his life.Lucy can't imagine Sean would keep secrets from her—until an FBI agent casts doubt about who he really is…and who he used to be. Why did Sean quit his job with his brother and move to New York? Why hasn't he told her anything about his new job? With more questions than answers, Lucy doesn't know who to believe or who she can trust. All she knows is that Sean is in grave danger, and this time, it's personal.

"stay here - it's good"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
We found everything we needed, and more, at the hotel. The room was clean and very spacious, the bkf was ample and varied and the 3 'management social nights' turned out to dinner dates. The location, right on I163, was good for us, who had a car and wanted to visit different parts of the city. A super pleasant stay and a warm recommedation from us!
"Great Hotel and good value"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
The staff was very good and I particularly liked the pool area. The room was big and suitable for a family of four. The location is outstanding with the ocean and bay very close and plenty of shops and restaurants.
"Helpful concierge"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 20, 2013
All was fine. In particular, the reception staff (who also cover concierge services) gave us a useful list of local restaurants offering 10% discount, a voucher for $4 off the zoo entrance, and advice on half-price entry to museums with a card from the local Macy's. Taken together, this was quite a saving.
"Convenient to Services and Beach, great value"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 9, 2013
Effiicent reception, comfortable bed in room with no view but, at the lowest end of the price range, not unexpected. 50 yds from the beach, less that 1/4 mile to cafes, bars, restaurants and shops - great value for money
"Perfect Location, Fantatsic Staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 7, 2013
Fantatsic! Service was very good and the front desk staff were outstanding. Bar is nice and relaxing for a drink and the free wine hour is a nice touch. We didnt eat here although food looked good, too much choice is the vicinity! The decor is modern and tasteful. The room design was a bit awkward and there was minimal wardrobe space in our room so if you are on a long trip this might be an issue. Bed was really comfy and good amenities.Hotel is in a great location to explore on foot or trolley. We really loved this hotel and hope to return.
"Nice place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 25, 2013
Stayed here one night in Jan 2013. I had one of the suites. Fridge, cooker etc. all there although I didn't use them. Very spacious rooms. Clean and nice room. Friendly staff. Overall I was impressed.

Easy to get to from interstate and public transport. Parking bit steep at $15 per day but on street parking available. Hotel suite excellent size with king bedroom & double sofa bed in lounge area.

"Great view of the city but need a car to get to"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 10, 2013
The hotel is great with a great view of the city. The location is good to get to from the airport (they have a shuttle that picks you up) and for morning jogs. Otherwise not very convenient for getting to the city. Overall, a great place to stay if you come with a car.
