Meet Some of Our Students - Michelle
April 8th, 2003 changed my life forever. A thin envelope addressed to me, arrived for me from the University of Maine. I tore it open, knowing that this piece of mail would notify me of which path my life would take. I believe people are like puzzles, and the shape of my pieces just so happened to lead me to where I am today. My academic history, my mental health, and my desire to attend college guided me to a God sent program, Onward.
Going to college; where I come from, it's expected … and in today's society a necessity for what I wanted to do with my life. High school was all about the preparation for college. I did all the right things, took the "college prep" classes, the SAT's and all the recommended courses. For some reason, I wasn't getting it. My grades were always C's or worse. It has been like that my whole life. I hadn't learned to read until the end of second grade, way behind the rest of my class. My teacher would humiliate me in front of the class, ripping up my writing and yelling at me when I couldn't read simple words. Through elementary school I was always in the "Red Robins" group instead of the "Blue Jays" for reading or math. I always wanted to be a Blue Jay. By middle school, you were a "teenager" and fit to fend for yourself. They patted your back and released you into the hell pit known as seventh grade. I couldn't handle it. My self confidence disappeared; I studied until I was in tears, and made enough flashcards to cover the earth in a stiff paper blanket. I never got a one hundred, you know, "refrigerator" material. Ever. I rejoiced at an 85. So by high school, I had figured out how to do just enough work to pass.
As classes got harder, and the workload overwhelmed me, my mental health collapsed. I fell deep into depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive behavior. My head was full of ideas and words, pictures and tears that I couldn't let out, and when I did all hell broke loose. I wrote dark poetry, isolated myself, and I was convinced that there was nothing wrong. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I was put on heavy medication and started therapy. After that, it got one hundred times worse. I started having nightmares and my obsessions got out of control. My mood and thoughts affected my schoolwork tremendously. I failed my French class, and had to take it again. My goal for college was put on the backburner, and a new goal of surviving the next day became my highest priority. Getting out of bed was an accomplishment. I was absent 11 times in the first quarter of my senior year. By that period of time, everyone thought I would drop out, except for me. I was sent to social workers, psychologists, and physiatrists and also had testing done. As my last year of high school went on, I knew college was just a dream. I was failing school, my SAT's were very low, and my mental state hit rock bottom. The more I thought about not making it to college, the more depressed and catatonic I became. The climax arrived just after Halloween, 2002. On November 2nd my sister attempted suicide. By then, the only way I could cope with everyday life was to hurt myself. That day marked a new beginning. My family had gone through so much shit and finally it seemed to be coming to an end. I stopped cutting and my sister got better. I got my life in order. I started a new medication, making Lexa-Pro the last of the twelve anti-depressants, anxiety medication, and anti-psychotics I had taken since my sophomore year. This new medication was wonderful. My guidance counselors worked with me, and fixed my schedule. I started getting better grades and college re-entered the picture. As a result of the medication and mental illness, I barely remember my years in high school. Only chunks of memories remain, where it was really bad, or really good. The other days were lost in my attempt to dig myself out of my own grave. I came to the realization that I controlled my own destiny and it took me eighteen years to figure that out. Without the help of friends, family, and doctors it would have taken much longer, if ever. I wanted to go to college, more specifically; I wanted to attend the University of Maine. I had gone on a tour my junior year (back when college was still in the picture). I had loved the campus and the people, and would do anything to attend. My experience in high school, both academically and personally was a huge factor on me deciding on going to Onward.
The last and most important reason for me choosing Onward was that I would do anything to go to college. For a while there, it seemed, I'd have to go to community colleges or take classes' un-matriculated at USM. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to learn and grow to have a job I loved. I knew that without an education I couldn't do this. My mother had worked at a childcare center for ten years, making less than I did at my first job. She went back to school while I was in middle school, and I saw how it affected her life. She was much happier, making enough money to support our family, and finally doing what she wanted to do. At first I wanted to be a teacher, then a Psychologist and now a Social Worker. I never wanted to be a fire fighter or astronaut as a kid. I wanted to be the teacher every kid loved and remembered with a smile on their face. I didn't have too many of those growing up and I wanted change the world. When I learned about Onward I jumped at the opportunity. At first I was scared. What, I was supposed to leave home, everything I had ever known to go to some program for "special needs" people? I don't think so! I talked myself into it, realizing I could do it, and this program would get me into college. I would do anything to succeed, even if that meant going to school for longer. As I met the people involved in the program, such as Eric and Catherine when they interviewed me, I knew that Onward was the right place for me. They were so caring and open: The building seemed to be a place of support and friendship. As the process of applying to Onward proceeded, I started to realize that if I didn't get into this program, I would HAVE to take the long way to a college education. Those weeks waiting to find out were stressful. I checked the mailbox everyday, hoping to see a letter with the University of Maine logo. In mid April, I did. I had applied almost three months before that, and it had been a long stretch. If I hadn't had the drive to attend college, I wouldn't be where I am today. The courage and motivation it took to just give Onward a try was outstanding. As I met my fellow classmates on the camping trip, they made me realize that Onward was where I belonged. If I hadn't gotten in, I would be lost. Those 65 or so Onward students and staff are now part of my family whether they like it or not, and my life is better for it.
Without Onward, my puzzle would be incomplete. Onward is the glue you use to turn a simple puzzle into a solid piece of art. Even though the last six years of my life have been hard, without those experiences I wouldn't be surrounded by life long friends and the best opportunity in the world, to learn. My academic history, my mental health and my desire to attend college are just tiny bits of what makes me Michelle. They led me to Onward, and for that I am blessed.

Now that the Golden Gophers have a new head coach to lead the men's basketball team, there are a variety of opinions on whether or not the University of Minnesota picked the right man for the job.
"Interesting" is a common response, but it's one of those thinly-veiled expressions that can range between sincere and sarcastic -- but this pick may be the three-pointer at the buzzer and a lot of reputations are hanging in the balance.
In Richard Pitino, the Gophers will get a legendary name in college basketball. The only problem is that the legend comes from his father, Louisville coach Rick Pitino.
"You're not hiring the father," said Dan Barreiro.
Among the chattering class on sports talk radio, there was reverence for the name contrasted against skepticism that a rookie head coach is ready for the Big Ten.
"I would argue that Richard Pitino has not earned his merit," Barreiro continued.
After nine days of courting an A-list roster of candidates and coming up empty, the U finally settled on a 30-year-old with one year of college coaching experience under his belt. He'll be about a decade older than his players, but he proved to be an even-keeled assistant coach under his father and Florida's Billy Donovan.
Last year, Richard Pitino was made head coach at Florida International in Miami, a program where sunshine was the main selling point. Yet, he led the team to its first winning season in 13 years.
In Minnesota, he'll clearly have to change his recruiting tactics; however, fans on campus seem willing to give him a shot.
The hope is that the younger Pitino will not only have his father's genetics, but also his track record. Director of Athletics Norwood Teague appears to be banking on the idea that youthful ambition can electrify the program and show that Richard Pitino is more than a name.
It's clear that the nine-day waiting period wasn't helpful for the program though. On Wednesday, the team lost one of its top recruits after Alvin Ellis, from Chicago, was released from his letter of intent. Ellis sent a tweet in the afternoon saying, "Good luck to the #Gopher team and all the fans in the future. Had to do what was best for me and my family."

Mat Latos doesn't like the Giants. Presumably, the Giants don't like him much, either. It's rare these days, that you see players and teams who actively dislike each other. It is an era where Red Sox and Yankees tend to get along, where the fans are more absorbed by rivalry than many players. But Latos and the Giants... that's something that has been building for a couple of years, and even after leaving San Diego for Cincinnati, there's no escaping it.
Mat Latos likes to talk, and that's the primary reason we know of his dislike for San Francisco. It all began back in 2010, when the Padres were in first place for 133 days of the season, until the Giants came from behind to take the division away. The Giants had made a few trades and August waiver claims, and this was all very upsetting to Latos:
"Baseball works in funny ways... The only way I could honestly put it is, we could be like the Giants and go and change our whole lineup, put guys with 'San Francisco Giants' across their jerseys. We didn't."
That's from a September 29 story at CBS Sports, after a Latos start the day prior in which the Padres lost 5-2 to the Cubs. The Giants were two games up on San Diego at the time, after they had been 7½ back on July 4. Latos is right; in the sense, the Giants changed their lineup by adding Cody Ross, Pat Burrell, Jose Guillen, and Mike Fontenot. But why this was a problem was a little strange -- teams rarely look in October like they did in April, and the Giants were no different. For that matter, neither were the Padres: San Diego traded for Miguel Tejada and Ryan Ludwick, and if not for Tejada's resurgence with the Padres, they would have been further back than two games at the time of this interview.
The Giants did not approve. Cody Ross:
"It's asinine to say, 'We're a close-knit group and this is our team,'" Ross told the San Francisco Chronicle. "Every team goes out at the trading deadline and tries to make a deal. It's very rare for an organization to say, 'We don't need any improvements. We're as good as we're going to be.' Every team looks to improve, whether it's one, three or five guys."
This is the point where we should mention the Giants acquired Ross on a waiver claim in part to keep him away from the Padres -- when the Marlins were happy to just let him go for nothing, the Giants gladly took him for themselves. One wonders what Mat Latos would have had to say if Ross had helped to power the Padres, not the Giants, to the World Series in 2010.
It wasn't just the Giants who felt this was out of line. An anonymous Padre told the North County Times that the comments were, "just not smart." You don't have to go out on a limb to assume that it was someone older than Latos, with more experience and understanding of how baseball teams operate.
More of a problem than the new Giants was Latos' own pitching down the stretch. September started well enough, but the 21-year-old looked tired for most of the month, giving up 18 runs over 16 innings in his last four September outings. On October 3, he faced off against the Giants in game 162 -- winner took the division, and the lone playoff spot left following an Atlanta victory. Latos scattered eight hits, surrendering just two runs, but it wasn't enough, and that squad full of fake Giants won a very real division title.
The next year, the Padres were out of contention, but Latos and the Giants remained a thing. Latos signed three baseballs for charity in February of 2011, but didn't just sign his name: he also wrote "I hate SF" on them. Admittedly, this is in good fun -- personalizing them like that could make someone pay a bit more -- and the baseballs sold for $1,100, with half going to charity. It's not always in fun, though, as then-teammate Mike Adams, in a Yahoo! Sports story, spoke generally about Latos and his talking:
"Say what you want," Adams said, "but if you're going to talk, you'd better not look like a dumbass. He's 23. He's going to have to be told every now and then to back off a little. It's more correcting him. He's still young. He's learning. Sometimes, he forgets that.
This is all fair: Latos hasn't made any similar comments since, but that hasn't stopped Giants fans from disliking the pitcher. It probably didn't help Latos' image in the eyes of Giants' fans when he smashed announcer Dave Fleming's windshield with a baseball. (Accidentally! He's not a monster, people. Well, maybe to some.) Or, when he said he "could care less about people in San Francisco." (Technically, he said he does care about them, but we'll assume he meant "could not" while making an all too-common mistake.)
Now, Latos is facing the Giants in another elimination game, this time in the playoffs as a Cincinnati Red. The Padres traded him this past off-season, in part due to the immaturity and attitude issues that Latos seems to embrace, and it's extended his rivalry with the Giants despite leaving California. Then again, Mat Latos hasn't had anything to say about the Giants' mid-season acquisition of Hunter Pence, so maybe he's growing up after all.

Atomic Football is proud to be a part of AL.com Sports!
For 2008, we did not officially receive any Prediction Tracker
awards since we trailed the "betting line" or computer average in
most categories. However, among individuals, we finished
FIRST in "mean square error" (accuracy), FIRST in "absolute
error," and FIRST in "percent correct." Not a bad year at
For 2009, again no awards. Among individuals, we were
FIRST in "mean absolute error" for the second half of the season
and even beat the "opening line." We also finished second or
third among individuals in four other categories. Again, still a
good year.
For 2010, again no awards. Among individuals, we were
FIRST in "mean absolute error" for the season. We also finished
third among individuals in one other category.
Here are some newspaper articles that have been written about
AtomicFootball. See what others are saying about our
rating system.
Please check out our site and let us know
what you think. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
The Win-Loss Based Rating uses only win-loss, schedule, and venue
(home/away) data. Thus, margin of victory is not a factor. The downside of
such an approach is that all games are reduced to a single bit of data. The
upside is that it is not possible to compensate for a loss in one game by
running up the score in another. Given that the objective of the game is to
win and to do so against quality opponents, we feel that the Win-Loss Based
Rating is the best measure of how well a team fulfills the game's primary
objectives. Note that the Win-Loss Based Rating has no subjective inputs.
See our paper for a
lengthy description of how this was achieved.
The Hybrid Rating consists of a simple linear combination of our
Win-Loss Based Rating and our Score-Based Rating. The latter component uses
only scores, schedule, and venue (home/away) data. The only subjective
input is the relative weight given to the two components. Individually, the
component ratings themselves have no subjective inputs. Note that we do not
separately publish the Score-Based Rating, but it is the basis for our
score and win predictions, and we hope at some point in the future to
publish in complete detail the methods employed in generating them.
Our rankings can also be tracked on Ken Massey's Ranking Comparison

symbols "ABC" and "ASH." Be aware that we don't do preseason rankings --
it just isn't consistent with our obsession with objectivity. You will
have to wait until about the fourth or fifth week of the season before
the rankings will be published. Our predictions, on the other hand, are
available from the first week of the season.

Jackson was praised as a music pioneer and a barrier-breaking cultural figure, who the Rev. Al Sharpton said paved the way for other black entertainers to reach superstardom.
Audience members -- dancing along to some musical performances, and stifling tears at some of the many tributes to the singer. There were also shouts from the audience of "Power to the people," "Long live the king," and "We miss you Michael!"
The service culminated with Jackson's 11-year-old daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson -- in tears -- telling the audience from the stage, "I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can imagine. I just wanted to say I love him so much."
It began as Jackson's gilded casket -- borne by a group of pallbearers each wearing sequined glove -- was brought into Staples Center to a standing ovation. Many in the audience snapping pictures with their cellphones. A gospel choir sang in front of a backdrop made to resemble a stained glass window.
Event producer Ken Ehrlich said that the service was showing all of the many facets of Jackson's influence. "All the colors of his life are coming out, everyone is saying something different and authentic," he said as the show was under way.
Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz sang Jackson's "I'll Be There." Jennifer Hudson sang his hit "Will You Be There." And John Mayer performed "Human Nature" on his guitar.
Lionel Richie sang his Commodores song "Jesus Is Love." And Jackson's brother, Jermaine Jackson, sang what actress Brooke Shields called Jackson's favorite song: "Smile," from the Charlie Chaplin movie "Modern Times."
Holding back tears, Shields told the crowd that the two former child stars were always "two little kids having fun" when they were together. She recalled Jackson trying to teach her unsuccessfully -- to do the moonwalk.
"He was caring and funny, honest, pure, non-jaded and a lover of life," she said.
Lakers star Kobe Bryant called the singer a "true humanitarian, who gave as much off stage as he did onstage."
Queen Latifah read a poem from Maya Angelou that praised the singer's global influence, from Japan to Ghana. "We are missing Michael Jackson," the poem read. "But we do know we had him, and we are the world."
Motown founder Berry Gordy said that Jackson -- who began his career as part of the Jackson 5 for Motown -- "was like a son to me. Gordy called Jackson "the greatest entertainer that ever lived." The pronouncement was greeted with massive applause.
"He was driven by his hunger to learn," Gordy said, "to confidently top himself, to be the best, the consummate student. He studied the greats and became greater. He raised the bar and then broke the bar."
Gordy made note of Jackson's checkered past--which included a series of allegations of child molestation. "Sure there were sad times and questionable decisions on his part, but Michael Jackson accomplished everything he dreamed of."
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), who said that she honored Jackson's "American story," also appeared to refer Jackson's legal troubles.
"We understand the Constitution, and we understand laws, and we know that people are innocent until proven otherwise. That is what the Constitution stands for," she said.
Near the end of the service, the immediate Jackson family, clad in black, gathered on the stage. Most of Jackson's brothers wore matching yellow ties, with red roses on their lapels.

The county legislature will be passing a resolution recognizing the outstanding contributions the company has made to the community since Nord Brue and Mike Dressell opened their first shop in 1983. There are now 302 Bruegger's bagel bakeries in 26 states.
"It is a huge honor to be recognized by the Rensselaer County Legislature during our 30th anniversary year," said Ken Greene, current franchisee of the Troy bakery, in a statement.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard and Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced cuts to the CPS budget Thursday morning at South Loop Elementary downtown.
Emanuel and Brizard announced they were cutting $77 million from the CPS budget by making cuts at the district's central office.
Emanuel said the bureaucracy was the first line where they looked for savings and cuts, and that the administration would try to preserve resources to the classroom.
Part of the savings will come from limited layoffs, longer school bus routes and reduced custodial services.
The overall CPS budget is $5.2 billion and there is currently a $720 million deficit.
Brizard said Wednesday on Good Day Chicago that he'd be rolling out his new plan for schools in the next day or two.
The schools chief kicked off his "listening tour" Wednesday with a meeting at Malcom X College with several parent action committees. It was a private meeting and reporters were only allowed in for a few minutes.
Attendees of that meeting told Brizard that any parent-schools partnership that Mayor Emanuel is pushing must go beyond academics.

Four quarters weren't enough to separate the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, as the two teams are tied at 111 after four thrilling quarters played at a breakneck pace.
Kevin Durant, after hitting a three-pointer with :30 left to get Oklahoma City within two, tied the game on a dunk with less than :05 seconds left:
Ty Lawson got an open look from the top of the key on a step-through move as time expired but couldn't convert, forcing OT in Oklahoma City.
The Thunder have been led by incredible individual performances from their two All-Stars, who combined for 78 points in regulation, as well as PF Serge Ibaka, who had a triple-double, with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks.
The Nuggets were able to keep pace thanks to a huge edge in bench scoring, as Denver's reserves poured in 56 points, led by PG Andre Miller, who had 21 points and 10 assists.

Payday Loan Advice That Everyone Should Know
A lot of people find themselves in need of fast cash and get payday loans. With unemployment still high and prices rising, people are faced with difficult choices. Payday loans are a great option to give you cash quickly and when you need it most like online payday loans Canada. This article will give you some great information about payday loans to help you decide if obtaining one is right for you.
Sadly, loan firms sometimes skirt the law. Therefore, instead of interest, they'll use fees that will add up to the interest they would charge. As a result, the interest rate for a payday loan might be astronomical.
Try not to deal with companies that charge you beforehand. After people actually get the loan, they are faced with shock at the amount they are charged by lenders. Find out the interest rates for these loans to determine if they are right for you.
When considering a particular payday loan company, be sure to do the research necessary about them. You have many options at your disposal, so be sure that the business you have chosen is reputable and offers fair rates, good exchange rates and good management. You can get an even better sense of the company's practices by reading reviews from consumers who have done business with them.
Learn about late payment penalties. You no doubt are confident that you'll pay it back on time, but sometimes things happen. It is necessary that you read the legal terms within your contract so that you are aware of the fees that will accrue if your payment is late. For a payday loan, the penalties associated with being late can be very high.
There are certain pieces of documentation that you need when applying for a payday loan. You need to give them several different pieces of information to get the loan. Make sure you have recent pay stubs, a checking account and proper identification. Different lenders ask for different things. Call before you go so you know what to bring.
If you are considering a payday loan, you should be wary of a scam. Some companies claim they are a legitimate payday loan company; however, they may be lying to you so that they can steal your money. Research companies background at the Better Business Bureau and ask your friends if they have successfully used their services.
If you are considering a payday loan, it is wise to borrow the smallest amount possible. Financial emergencies can happen but the higher interest rate on payday loans requires careful consideration. Make sure you keep your costs as low as possible by minimizing your loan amount.
If you routinely use payday loans to make ends meet, you may need to seek additional financial help or education. When used incorrectly, payday loans can create an inescapable cycle of expensive debt.
When an unexpected expense that can not be put off comes up, the only option available may be a payday loan. Understand what options you have before and after you are thinking of borrowing a payday loan. If you plan things correctly, your smart financial decisions today might improve your financial position going forward.
Convert Electrical, Heat, Temperature and Density Units
Transition is the zone where the laminar boundary layer changes into a turbulent boundary layer as shown in Fig. 9.4a where we show how to convert density units. As the laminar boundary layer continues to grow, the viscous stresses are less capable converting density units of damping disturbances in the flow. A point is then reached where disturbances occurring in the flow are amplified, leading to turbulence.
The critical point occurs at a Reynolds number of about 105(Recr 105) based on the distance from the leading edge. Vortices created near the wall grow and help with the process to convert heat to temperature and mutually interact, ultimately leading to a fully turbulent boundary layer at the transition point, which nominally occurs at a Reynolds number of 3 × 106(Retr 3 × 106). For purposes of converting heat to temperature and for the sake of simplicity in this text, it will be assumed that the boundary layer changes from laminar to turbulent flow at a Reynolds number 500,000. The details of the transition region can be found in the section that shows how to convert heat, temperature, density and electrical units in White 3.
Transition to a turbulent boundary layer can be influenced by several other flow conditions when you try to convert electrical units, such as free-stream turbulence, pressure gradient, wall roughness, wall heating, and wall cooling. With appropriate roughness elements at the leading edge while converting electrical units, the boundary layer can become turbulent at the very beginning of the plate to easily convert those units. In this case it is said that the boundary layer is "tripped" at the leading edge.

Quincy is pleased to introduce our new paid internship program that will formally get underway in January of 2012.
We will be promoting the initiative as the "Quinternship" program. It is uniquely named because of the unique nature of the program.
Representatives from a number of Quincy properties had a voice and a role in the design of the program. Staff assessed station needs and what it would take to attract successful interns.
Many on our current staff, company-wide, began their careers as interns at our properties.
In order to compete for the next generation of great talent, the team determined that Quincy would benefit from a formal and paid program. To become an employer of choice requires resources. The Quinternship program has been budgeted to fund the equivalent of one FTE at each property. That means several "Quinterns" may be working in each property at any given time. These paid internships are available in the departments of news, production, promotion, sales, digital media and engineering/IT.
Students will benefit by gaining hands-on practical experience and Quincy will benefit by having access to the region's best emerging talent. Our goal is to prepare these outstanding student interns for influential jobs in broadcasting, print and interactive. We are excited to launch the Quinternship program in our company, and provide these outstanding opportunities in your markets.

Scott Bush, the man whose child sex-abuse charges eventually brought down former Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, was found guilty of sexual battery and other charges Thursday.Bush was accused of sexually battering two young female family members, who are now adults. The Orlando Sentinel reports that jurors deliberated for only about two hours, and the victims testified after the verdict was read. "I feel like I don't want him to do to anyone else what he did to me," one of the victims said. Later, Bush drew a rebuke from Judge Julie O'Kane when he told one of the victims, "Shame on you girls, for lying," the Sentinel also reported.Saylor pleaded guilty to official misconduct charges last year. The charges stemmed from allegations Saylor interfered with the investigation against Bush, his friend.Bush took the stand in his own defense Wednesday, repeatedly denying he had inappropriate contact with the girls. Check back for more on this developing story.

Lightweight James Krause made his UFC debut on the FX prelims of UFC 161 with a break out performance and submission win over veteran Sam Stout. 7 years into his UFC career, Stout fell to 8-8.
Krause established his striking superiority early with excellent use of his reach advantage. He used a long jab and kicks that kept Stout from ever setting a rhythm of his own. He busted open a cut over Stout's right eye in the first round with a well placed head kick. From then on the fight was all Krause. Late in the final round, with Stout's blood covering the mat, Krause countered a takedown with a guillotine choke. He got the tap with only 15 seconds left on the clock.
What was the high point of this fight?
First the high kick that landed in the first round and opened up Stout's head. Then, the guillotine choke that finished the fight. Great show from Krause to still look for the finish despite clearly winning the fight and being seconds away from a decision.
Where do they go from here?
Picking up a finish over an established UFC is exactly how every prospect wants to make their UFC debut and Krause pulled it off. He's definitely not ready for the top of the division, but he did show that he's ready to be tested. In the meantime, he'll need to find a way to spend both his fight night bonuses.
Stout has always been a mid-tier gatekeepers and this loss doesn't change that. There are still plenty of guys on the roster that he'll beat and plenty that will get past him. I fully expect him to truck along in his gatekeeper roll.
Watch it now, never, or later?
Krause put on one of the better performances of the night and you'll want to check it out.

Hello all,
I've been trying to remember the author and title of a book I read a few years back. I'm not sure if the book was new then or if it was something I just picked up and read. I'm not even sure of what the plot was but I can remember that the main character who was a woman was an operative of some sort and wore a suit that was alive, semi intelligent, and ate anything that came within reach when it as hungry be it alive or a rock. The suit would also morph into armor or adapt itself to it's environment by reading the weares thoughts. That's about all I can think of now.

Baby Mei is so cute. I am so glad that I ordered her. She looks exactly like her photograph and her eyes look directly at you. Everytime I look into her eyes, they beg for me to pick her up. She is definitely a keeper.
Was this review helpful? Yes | No
Posted by jjbkmiller, 3/3/2014 1:48:18 PM
The very moment I saw this breath-takingly beautiful Asian baby offered here by PG, I immediately ordered her. And I impatiently awaited her arrival. I have many of Ping Lau's sculpts and I'm a huge fan of her dolls. The moment I unwrapped Baby Mei I was extremely thrilled to have her in my collection. This is a very precious baby. Ping does beautiful work. I wish I had just a fraction of her incredible talent.
I highly recommend this particular baby doll. Well made, all details are exquisite and are beautifully attended to. I just love this doll !!
Posted by udailey, 6/1/2014 8:10:09 PM
Mei is a very beautiful baby. She's also cuddly and easy to pose.
Posted by xiaonichang, 7/23/2014 11:48:54 AM
I'm Chinese and it's not easy to come across babies of Chinese ethnic origin. I decided to take a chance on Baby Mei. I came across a couple of negative Amazon reviews on the doll saying the real thing doesn't resemble the photos, so I told myself to rein in my expectations.
Well...how surprised I was. The doll looks exactly as shown in the photos (only the clothes were different, but I actually prefer the one I have to the one shown in the photo). In fact, Baby Mei looks so real that it's scary. I've shown it to my friends and they're all awed by its realness. Have to work up the courage to sleep with it!
The doll does smell of plastic - the smell was the first thing that hit my senses as I unwrapped the parcel. Happily, a day later (doll arrived yesterday), the smell has subsided considerably. So it's not a real issue.
Anyyway, am wondering when I will stop being scared of the doll...
Posted by addisonw2003, 8/16/2014 4:17:39 AM
I have seen so many Youtube videos on her afraid if I get her then she will not look like the photos but I was so wrong! She looks exactly like the photo and I am so happy! You have a customer who is defiantly coming back!

The Walker County Sheriff's Office was notified of break-ins at Video Rayz and Son's Pharmacy around 3:10 Tuesday afternoon. The businesses are located on Highway 269 in Parrish. Deputies responded to the scene and found that a hole had been cut in the roof of Video Rayz and another hole was found in the store's wall, which is shared with the pharmacy. Sheriff's office officials said nothing was taken from the video store, but an undetermined amount of narcotics were stolen from the pharmacy.
Jack Cooley, Parrish's acting police chief, said the department had no officers on duty Monday or Tuesday.
"The town isn't paying for overtime. We only have three officers, and 43 hours per week is all we can get. We're not here on holidays right now," Cooley said. "That's why the county had to be called to do the report. The people of Parrish need to know this. They deserve police coverage 24-7, but we can't give that to them right now."
Cooley said he found out about the burglary at 8 a.m. Tuesday. He was on the scene investigating throughout the day.
"We have some suspects, but we don't have anything to positively identify them just yet," he said.
Cordova Police Chief Nick Smith and officers from the Cordova Police Department were also at the scene Tuesday, assisting Parrish police with the investigation.
"We came out to try to take some fingerprints and pretty much help with the investigation any way we can," said Smith, the former Parrish police chief.
Cooley said it is believed the burglary took place late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. He said anyone with information about the break-ins should call the Parrish Police Department at (205) 686-9991.
"This would have taken some time. Someone probably saw something suspicious taking place in that area," he said.

Montgomery County taxpayers will have to pick up an almost $30,000 tab for the legal defense of an Upper Merion man convicted earlier this month for the murder of his parents and twin brother.
In the controversy over the potential development of the Bishop tract, a 43-acre plot of mainly open space in Hatfield Township, there's one thing that all parties can agree on: There's a very old farmhouse that dates from the 1760s, and it's probably best not to bulldoze it.
Defense attorneys say it was roadside "misunderstanding" between members of two motorcycle clubs.
Two Montgomery County high school students accused of a gunpoint robbery in Bristol Township are headed to trial, but the case could end up in juvenile court.
An Upper Merion man is guilty but mentally ill of first-degree murder for the March 2011 stabbing deaths of his parents and twin brother.
A Souderton man pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexually assaulting the 12-year-old daughter of family friends.
A Hatfield Township man accused of the June 2013 stabbing death of his wife began taking combat training involving the use of knives two months before the slaying, according to Montgomery County prosecutors.
An Upper Merion man knew what he was doing in March 2011 when he killed his parents and twin brother, according to the testimony of a psychiatrist.
UPPER DUBLIN — Several families were left homeless after a fire ripped through an apartment complex in Upper Dublin on Friday morning.
A Montgomery County man who continued to terrorize his ex-girlfriend from Hatfield Township will do time in state prison for his crimes.
LOWER GWYNEDD — Somebody once said, "There is no 'I' in team," and, for the most part, coaches agree it's a valuable adage for their players to remember.
I have some real good news for all property taxpayers who feel their current property taxes are too LOW. Gov. Tom Corbett feels your property taxes are too high and is currently crisscrossing our state with that message because he was not able to convince the RINO-controlled Legislature to do anything meaningful about public worker pension reform that will certainly raise your property taxes going forward.

'Stop Before You Start' is a new anti-smoking campaign aimed at young adults, who are at risk of taking up smoking.
Research shows that young adulthood is a key time for establishing smoking behaviours, with a large number of New Zealand's young adults smoking in social settings despite not identifying as smokers. These young adults run the risk of becoming addicted daily smokers.
It is the first time an anti-smoking campaign has specifically targeted this age group. To find out more, visit the Stop Before You Start website.

Break-ins prompt police warning
Burglars broke into five homes and businesses and attempted to break into another five in June, Lt. Keith A. Chauvette said Friday.
No arrests have been made.
Most break-ins occurred near the Manchester city line in Pinardville and its web of side streets off Mast Road, Chauvette said. Pinardville is a neighborhood in this town of about 18,000 residents. Two break-ins happened in Goffstown village.
"Anything they can get rid of quickly and get some fast cash, that tends to be the stuff we notice missing," he continued.
Police suspect burglars may be casing homes and neighborhoods. They urged residents to watch for suspicious vehicles and strangers.
"Keep an eye on your neighbors. Lock your doors, Secure your valuables and your windows. And, if you see anything suspicious, call us immediately. Don't wait," Chauvette said. Contact police at 497-4858.
Two Friends Cafe was burglarized June 9. Burglars attempted to break into Hubert's department store and Super Suds Car Wash. All are on Mast Road.
