From coma to concert
A stroke patient's wish to see Bob Seger is fulfilled — and more in our collection of feel-good tales to warm your heart
Seven years ago, Evie Branan suffered a stroke that put her in a semi-coma. Then, in May 2011, she tumbled out of bed in her Michigan nursing home, hit her head, awoke, and spoke these nine magical words: "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert." Tonight, Branan gets her wish. A limo will pick the 79-year-old up and take her to the performance, which she'll enjoy from the front row. To top it off, she'll get to meet Seger and the band. "I'm going to hug him and give him and great big smooch," Branan told NPR.

text: Rosberg driving with toe injury in Bahrain 5 April, 2014 Nico Rosberg Toe pain may hamper championship leader Nico Rosberg during this weekend in Bahrain. Although clearly ahead of the rest of the field, Mercedes' German driver seemed a few tenths off teammate Lewis Hamilton's pace in Friday practice. German publications Bild and Sport Bild might have discovered the reason. In the Bahrain paddock, correspondents Bianca Garloff, Ralf Bach and Nicola Pohl noticed that when wearing casual clothes, Rosberg is sliding his left foot only partially into his shoe. "I hurt my toe while jogging on the beach," he told Bild. Sport Bild reports that the injury was sustained last week, when the 28-year-old was holidaying in Dubai. Rosberg confirmed that he brakes with his left foot but played down the impact of the injury on his driving. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Zhoucun and Qufu. Day 14
... like pyramids, that symbolize ones' social status and greatness. If you go to Xian to witness the Terracotta Warriors, you will see large mounds (burial sites) 4 or 5 stories high.
We were able to see where Confucius' son was buried and were Confucius' tomb is. However, no one knows where his body is to this day. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards dug up his grave and there was no body. Serves them right. ...
Visit the relics of Confucius at Qu'fu
The Kong park is very old. Here there are many beautiful things such as the trees and the temples and the many beautiful buildings with their beautiful colors. It is separated into three parts: The Confucius Mansion, The Confucius Temple, and the ...
Last Day at Qufu
... pretty delicious.
We did not have time to go to the Confucius Cemetery, so instead we went to a tablet museum, these were written in hundreds and even thousands of years ago. We were asked to choose a favorite one and wright about it.
After we finished exploring the museum, we went back to Tai'an and went to the train station, then we went on the train and lead my trip to an ...
Relics of Confucius

Quaint Qufu
... we heard while walking on the same ground that Confucius walked some two millennia ago, was the sound of the breeze through the massive cypress trees and the swift scraping of bamboo brooms gathering garbage. As China's largest imperial complex after the Forbidden City, the temple was created as a memorial 2500 years ago. The condition of the stone statues and temple buildings are near-perfect and the preservation is immaculate. We made our way through ...

AMERICA/ARGENTINA - Cases of child workers and indigenous people exploited in inhumane conditions have been denounced
Ballivián (Agenzia Fides) - The Ministry of Labour in the city of Salta, in the northwest of Argentina, have reported cases of child labor and aborigines without documentation, engaged in a factory in Ballivián General, in the north of the province, in very risky activities and in inhumane conditions. According to sources from the local government, the the Labour Police inspectors found, in the department of San Martín, in Ballivián, children engaged in the glades of a farm, and in some areas a group of Aborigines exploited in inhuman conditions and without any kind of registration, also without identity documents. In the Country, child labor is a criminal offense and should be prosecuted. Immediate steps were taken by suspending the work activities in 3000 acres of the farm and the case has been postponed. As for the Aborigines exploited, offenders have been reported and have ten days to rectify the situation before a criminal trial. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 18/09/2013)

- Acer Aspire E15
It performs well enough with simple tasks (i.e. streaming HD video efficiently), but with 4GB RAM and a relatively slow CPU there isn't any real bang here and that's okay.
It's remarkable for a machine at this price point (under $250.00) in that it performs as well as it does with a fully loaded Windows 8.1/64 bit OS, since Windows, in my experience has been traditionally resource hungry. I sold my Lenovo ThinkPad2 (Windows 8.1/32 bit) which had relatively good specs, supplied with 2GB RAM, due to the fact that I was continually waiting on it to complete the simplest tasks and made video viewing and web surfing a unenjoyable chor and used the proceeds from that sale to purchase this machine.
This Acer runs quiet and cool. The case is textured matte black plastic which I have yet to mar in the 30 days I've had ownership and it has a good, solid feel. It's relatively slim and weighs in at under 5.5 lbs.
The majority of the ports - power, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, full sized HDMI, SD slot and headphones are on the back , which I like. An additional USB 2.0 port is on the left hand side near the rear. Plenty to plug into and since it's relatively nimble with the provided RAM, juicing these ports with multiport hubs hasn't been an issue.
I have an external DVD drive (port powered), a dual band wifi dongle, and a wifi mouse dongle on a multiport off the rear 2.0 port. The side 2.0 port I use for my Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550 speakers.
The fact that it's Windows 8.1 with a generous 500GB hard drive means that I can effortlessly use many of the same programs and apps I use on my desktop on the laptop.
The 4GB RAM (single stick) is upgradeable (as is the hard drive) to 8GB (single stick). This is not always an option. Because I do a lot of photo editing, I suspect that upgrading is in my future.
The touchpad can be completely disabled. I'm old and my fingers are clumsy enough just with a keyboard. Not having to avoid contact with a touchpad while typing is a big plus for me. Disable this one once and it stays disabled. I have gone into laptops and pulled the ribbon from overly sensitive touchpads in the past. Not necessary with this one, I'm happy to say.
Does not include an optical drive. This is a plus as far as I'm concerned. Optical drives fail for a number of reasons. Having to repair/replace one in a unit at this price point would be a waste of money and effort.
- −
- The screen is plain bad. For some reason Acer chose high-gloss plastic to face the screen ( which is a pain in the neck due to glare) and although it is described as backlit LED, unless you're looking at it at the correct angle (which isn't as easy as it sounds, especially if laying down), it's easy to lose depth of color and dark images can flow into indistinguishable patches.
There was more bloatware than I would have liked - specifically Wild Tangent, that whole Bing thing, the Acer apps, Windows Office trial, and the ubiquitous McAfee antivirus (which I know, offsets costs for the manufacturer which makes them a somewhat necessary evil). It took too long to uninstall Wild Tangent. The Acer apps I left on since they don't have an annoyance factor for me and their icons are nice. How about offering these sorts of things on an accompanying disk and let the purchaser decide what ends up on their hard drive?
Would have happily traded them all for an upgraded CPU or an additional 2GB RAM.
There isn't enough amplitude for audio either through the unfortunately placed built-in speakers (bottom rear) or for ear buds. Maybe one day a manufacturer will grasp the concept that a 2.1 speaker system on ANY laptop is the only way to go (put the mid/treble units in the screen frame (there's no law that says these need to be round to perform well) facing the user and the woofer/bass in the bottom of the hardware/keyboard case (facing down if necessary).
Would it kill anyone to put ports/switches within a frame colored in a contrasting color to the machine body? Well placed doesn't mean they're easy to find. Be proud and loud, why dontcha?

Fall Leaf Quilt and USMC BirthdayNovember 10, 2014
My sister-in-law, Vicki, loves the fall. Using what I had here (She sent some a while back) and adding only a background, here is the quilt she received over the weekend. It measures 60″ x 60″. The pattern is Chai Tea from this book. I quilted it with a pantograph called Frolicking Ferns.
Vicki lives near Yosemite and never has even a few leaves in her yard, so this quilt had to soak up all the "fallness" it could in my yard.
Happy Birthday to the USMC today! We are especially proud of our son, Charles, and his seven years of service with the USMC.
Sand at Boy Scout Ridge and Mystery QuiltingNovember 10, 2014
Seven weeks after Kevin's knee issue, we headed out on a backpack. (note: This week, he had an MRI on the knee and was told he has several tears (MCL, ACL) and a hairline fracture. He gets a brace, but no surgery yet.)
Boy Scout Ridge was our destination ~~ again. This time, we knew the wind was going to pick up, but didni't count on the sand coming through our tent screen and hitting us in the face or the accumulated sand dropping on our faces when we moved in our sleeping bags. Regardless, last night was beautiful and we were on the trail, with headlamps, by 5:15 this morning.
I was amazed at how huge the Big Dipper was in this photo.
This is some of the sand this morning in our tent.
I'm down to quilting the background on the mystery quilt.
Building a BackNovember 7, 2014
Today, I am working on building a back for the top I made in Joyce's Westside Quilter's Mystery Class.
My Bernina was just serviced and the tech said it's good for another 40 years!
Dia de los Muertos (Happy Birthday) QuiltNovember 2, 2014
Anyone who knows me knows that my daughter's birthday is today, Day of the Dead. Over the years, she has received many things with "Dia de los Muertos" fabric and beads. This year is no different. I used Sam Hunter's new book to create the wording and a switch in dimentions on Waffletime for the center to create this 30″ x 40″ quilted piece.
After a day of pampering by her husband (hair cut & color, facial, massage, mani, pedi, new dress & shoes and make-up @ Macy's), several family members and friends met for dinner on the waterfront.
All morning, I sewed at PMQG's sew day at Fabric Depot.
PDX Carpet Quilt at PDXOctober 28, 2014
Last month, our PMQG president traveled and facebooked about the PDX carpet's popularity. Immediately, I got to work creating a quilt. It's not a copyright infringement since I inadvertently added an extra blue square. At the last meeting, I gave Mary Anne one (binding not complete) and the other I finished for a photo session at midnight when I retrieved my daughter from the airport. Both measure 43″ x 46″ and are quilted with straight lines.
Here is a link to the history of the PDX carpet.
Houndstooth or Bat Quilt FinishedOctober 26, 2014
My daughter spotted this quilt and asked me to make it for her sister-in-law's birthday. She and her husband chose the fabric and I got to work. It finishes at 65″ x 86″ and is quilted with a bat pantograph. Melissa is a big Batman fan.
I machine bound the binding and this is something I haven't done in many years. It turned out ok, but I sure like the look of hand stitching better.
Lots of Quilting Going On …October 23, 2014
Quilting on the bat (houndstooth) quilt…

KRNDN - Eyes On Me
Artist: KRNDN
Featuring: CurT@!n$, Chace Infinite
Producer: Moonshine
Album: Let 'Em Live (No Release Date)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 8 votes )
Is it really paranoia if everybody is watching you? Well, to answer my own rhetorical question: according to dictionary.com, one's suspicion of others must be "baseless," "excessive," "irrational," or, "extreme," to qualify, so I guess not. Booth newcomer Krondon, for one, is perfectly justified in looking over his shoulder for any "Eyes On Me." One can't be too careful when walking through the mean streets of Los Angeles—fortunately, this newly-leaked cut finds the up-and-coming rapper flanked by two equally streetwise underground talents. Moonshine's tense boardwork, featuring a pensive piano loop and some ghostly background vocals, imbues the track with eerie, foggy ambiance as Krondon, East Coast vet CurT@!n$, and Self Scientific rapper Chace Infinite teach listeners a lesson on the importance of watching one's back at all times. Packed with hard-hitting underground lyricism, this cut is gritty, real, and undeniably spooky; listeners whose tastes run to the darker end of the hip-hop spectrum will doubtless find more to their liking on Krondon's Let 'Em Live LP, which has yet to receive a release date.

Social Networking (SN) systems provide messaging facility as well as the ability to generate and share content in form of user profiles, photos, videos, reviews, ratings, etc. SN architecture is complex, as it covers numerous Web pages with various data types; profiles, instant messaging logs, photos, videos, etc. In addition, ubiquitous SNs enable access from portable devices and therefore require a lightweight, adaptable architecture to meet constraints in screen size, storage capacity and network download time. SN architectural design patterns are proposed to induce reusability and loose coupling, thus improve performance and adaptability. These patterns are derived from conceptual modeling of common SN functionalities found in literature. Five patterns are derived; `user profiles and friend list management', `messaging', `file sharing', `edit & post content' and `semantic services'. The patterns are validated by application on five large-scale SNs targeted at healthcare that showed better reusability, customizability and scalability, and reduced interdependence between SN subcomponents.

Gulfstream Reiterates G650 Is on Schedule

Gulfstream has announced that it expects FAA approval by the end of this year for its G650 ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range jet. Although the April 2
crash of a G650 during a test flight may cause delays in the certification program, the Savannah, Ga.-based manufacturer still expects to deliver 12 "green" G650s (with unfinished cabins) by the end of this year. Gulfstream, which has more than 200 orders for the model, is working with the National Transportation Safety Board on the crash investigation, according to Pres Henne, a senior vice president for the company.

I worked at Earth Fare full-timePros
The customer service program at this company was the best I have ever seen. The open communication between the CEO and the store level employees was incomparable for a company of this size. At least annually the CEO would tour the stores and meet with all employees to both give company news and listen to our ideas. Employees were made to feel as more that part of the team, but part of the family. All of my good experiences were from my first position within the company. The first store that I worked for was one of the best experiences of all my employers. They regularly promoted from within and would foster growth in their employees. After being promoted to management, it was easy to see that they expect their managers to walk a fine line to balance between maintaining both employee morale, increasing sales and minimizing cost.Cons
I can only speak for one location, but when bringing in upper management from outside stores, the company did little to oversee that these managers understood the philosophy and procedures of the company. Everything that I loved about the company was the butt of a joke to one of my store managers and there was no recourse. I was regularly harassed both sexually and due to my gender. I was singled out of management and made to work between 60-80 hours per week. When seeking help from my supervisor at the corporate level, they came to my store at my request and within the 2 days of them being there, only spent 2 hours actually assisting me. Contrary to the original store that I worked at, I was taught that management was to stand in front of my employees, arms folded as the Big Brother watching them like a dictator. While I did make my own mistakes, as someone completely new to management, I received little direction or training to improve and the direction I was given was in direct conflict with what I understood to be the vision or policy of the company.
I relocated to a new city and store in order to be promoted within the company. Upon moving, I was expected to basically live at the store. I loved this company, so at first it was not a problem. However, for every hour over a 40 hour work week that I put in, my store manager took off. Besides spending time harassing me, this store manager asked me to "fire that d!ke" when an openly gay employee voiced her opinion for changing something in the produce department. The store manager was eventually fired, followed by termination of my employment two weeks later. Never in my life have I understood how a company could fire an employee for being the victim of harassment.
All in all, I am not sure which of my experiences within this company is accurate. I can only guess that it is somewhere in between. I like to believe that nobody is perfect. Although my first experience was a dream come true and my second was a nightmare, I can say that at the end of the day I cannot recommend or warn against this company. The dream of Earth Fare is a beautiful thing, if only they could foster that within their store level management to make it an actuality in ALL stores.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I know many of the corporate level management personally. I know that they accurately represent the Earth Fare that I love. My advice is to make sure that everyone at the corporate level are fostering the mission of the company at all times. At least when I was working there, the mission was "to feed and inspire the healthy person inside us all." Pay attention to the employees who live this vision and foster their growth and dedication to the company.RecommendsApproves of CEO

By Kelsey Smith
The Providence College men's hockey team concluded its series against the University of Vermont Catamounts with a 5-1 win Saturday night at Schneider Arena. The Friars improved to 4-3-1 overall and 4-2-0 in Hockey East. Vermont is now 1-5-0 and 0-4-0 in league action.
The only scoring of the first period was an unassisted short-handed goal by Providence freshman Ross Mauermann (Janesville, Wis.) who fired a shot over the shoulder of UVM goaltender Alex Vazzano. The Friars held on to that lead with a strong penalty kill of a five minute major that overlapped into the second period.
Providence extended its lead to two on a power-play goal from junior Myles Harvey (Orlando, Fla.) at 10:58 of the second period. Harvey's one timer was assisted by senior Daniel New (White Plains, N.Y.) and red-shirt freshman Damian Cross (Nepean, Ont.). It marked his fourth goal of the season. The Catamounts sliced the Friars' lead in half with a goal less than two minutes later by Tobias Nilsson-Roos.
On their seventh power play of the game, the Friars scored their second power-play goal of the night with junior Tim Schaller (Merrimack, N.H.) putting the puck in the net at 3:50 of the third period. Vazzano made a great save on junior Alex Velischek (Kinnelon, N.J.) and Schaller followed up on the rebound to earn his fourth goal of the weekend and fifth of the season. Velischek as well as freshman Drew Brown (Grass Lake, Mich.) registered assists on the goal. Friar freshman Matt Montesano (West Bridgewater, Mass.) put the game out of reach with a goal at 13:30. Harvey assisted on the goal for his second point of the game and sophomore Mark Adams (Boxford, Mass.) also picked up an assist in his season debut. Senior Andy Balysky (Randolph, N.J.) scored an unassisted goal to make the final score 5-1 with less than a minute remaining in the game.
Providence senior goaltender Alex Beaudry (Cumberland, Ont.) had a strong game in net stopping 30 of 31 shots. Vazzano also played a solid game making 32 saves for the Catamounts. PC outshot UVM 37-31.
The Friars will host the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers on Friday, November 11 for a 7:00 start at Schneider Arena. Vermont will host UNH on Saturday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m.
