February 20, 2005
They had their common sense tested, their psyches probed, their integrity and honor questioned and their bodies punished.
Some fell immediately, others made it further, but in the end, only two were left standing.
Chandler resident Jose Rangel, 23, and Mesa resident Blake Fairclough, 22, were chosen by Chandler Police Chief Sherry Kiyler this week to become the department's two newest rookies.
If the men pass medical exams and drug tests, they'll soon be heading off to the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy in Phoenix.
"We think they'll both do well," said Scott Picquet, a detective with Chandler's professional standards section.
Picquet and his partner, detective Brian Reed, began the search for new officers on Nov. 20. They started out with 145 candidates and hoped to send four to the academy.
By the time the polygraph and psychological tests were scheduled, the detectives were down to six candidates, all men.
One dropped out for family reasons, Picquet said. The other three failed to make it through the polygraph, psychological test or background investigation — although none of them will be prevented from applying again.
The Tribune has been following the recruits since the process began as part of an occasional series about what it's like to be a new police officer — from the testing process to the rigors of the police academy to the reality of life on the streets.
Rangel, a former Army sergeant who spent a year in Iraq, works security at a Mervyn's department store.
Fairclough is a security officer at Mesa Community College, where he obtained an associate's degree in general studies.
The men, both unmarried, fervently hope the academy, which starts March 14, has enough space for them. If not, the Chandler department will put them to work in clerical positions until the next academy in April.
"The sooner the better for me," Rangel said. "I'm ready to get into it. If they said 'Be ready to go in three days', I'd be ready."
Rangel and Fairclough, who have met only briefly, have much in common. Both have wanted to be police officers since they were young, realizing they were passing up the chance at higher paying, safer jobs.
"I'm not very materialistic and I'd rather make less money and go to a job I enjoy every day than to make more money and go to a job I hate," Fairclough said.
Both men said they feel the need to help people.
"I don't think people should feel scared to go outside and to leave their cars parked outside," Rangel said.
If Rangel makes it through the 16-week academy, he'll be joining his uncle, Angel Chavez, on the force. Rangel watched Chavez graduate from the police academy and it was then he decided his future.
Fairclough can't remember exactly when he made up his mind to go into law enforcement, but says his mother remembers him telling her of his plans as early as age 10. His twin brother, Richard, will be going through the March academy as a Glendale Police Department cadet.
The men said they have the full support of their families.
"My parents believe that if they can get through my being in Iraq, they can get through this," Rangel said.
Rangel considers himself extremely lucky. The Chandler Police Department was the first and only agency with which he tested.
Fairclough has tested with eight agencies over the last 18 months.
Both said they would have kept testing until they got hired.
"This is an exciting and challenging career," Fairclough said. "This is something I can see myself doing for 20, 25, 30 years and it's something I can look back on and be proud of."
The men also share a competitive spirit and hope to help each other out at the academy. They love to run and lift weights and are more worried about the academic aspect of the academy than the physical.
"I was an average student. I had to study to pass and to get good grades," Rangel said. "At the academy, I really want to excel. I don't want to be the guy who just barely passes. I want to bring back some awards."
Fairclough, himself an A and B student, is already thinking ahead to being on the streets of Chandler as an officer-in-training.
"I want the field training officer to say 'Blake's so good, I don't need to be there,' '' he said. "I want to be the best."

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Canbulat, Ismet URN etd-07282008-161030 Document Title Evaluation and design of optimum support systems in South African collieries using the probabilistic design approach Degree PhD Department Mining Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Handley Co-Supervisor Prof J N van der Merwe Supervisor Keywords
- roof stability
- probabilistic design
- roof support design
- coal mine
- roof failure
Date 2008-04-11 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis addresses the problem of designing roof support systems in coal mines. When designing the roof support, it is necessary to account for the uncertainties that are inherently exist within the rock mass and support elements. The performance of a support system is affected by these uncertainties, which are not taken into account in the current design methodologies used in South Africa. This study sets out to develop a method which takes all uncertainties into account and quantitatively provides a risk-based design.
Despite the fact that the roof bolting is probably one of the most researched aspects of coal mine ground control, falls of ground still remain the single major cause of fatalities and injuries in South African collieries. Mainly five different support design methodologies have been used; namely, analytical modelling, numerical modelling, physical modelling, design based on geotechnical rating systems and field testing. As part of this study, it is shown that there are many elements of a support system that can impact the support and roof behaviour in a coal mine and the characteristics of these elements as well as the interaction between them is complex and can vary significantly within a short distance. These variations account for uncertainties in coal mine roof support and they are usually not taken into account in the above design methodologies resulting in falls of ground and/or over design of support systems.
The roof and support behaviour were monitored at 29 sites at five collieries. It is found that there was no evidence of a dramatic increase in the stable elevations as experienced in some overseas collieries. A roadway widening experiment was carried out to establish the critical roof displacements. The maximum width attained was 12 m at which stage 5 mm displacement was measured. During the monitoring period no roof falls occurred at any of the 29 sites and road widening experiment site, even where 12 mm displacements were measured. The in situ monitoring programme was continued in additional 26 monitoring stations in 13 sites with the aim of establishing the effect of unsupported cut-out distance on roof and support performances. The results showed that the lithological composition of the roof strata plays a major role in the amount of deflection that was recorded. Bedding separation was seen to occur at the contacts between different strata types. It is concluded that the roof behaved like a set of composite beams with different characteristics. It is also found that the amounts of deflection corresponded with the deflection that would be expected from gravity loaded beams. During this monitoring programme variable nature of roof and support systems are also demonstrated.
As many mines use different geotechnical rating systems, an evaluation of the currently used classification techniques were conducted to determine their effectiveness in design of roof support strategies. It is found that currently used systems cannot quantitatively determine the required support system in a given geotechnical environment. Impact splitting tests are found to be the appropriate system for South African conditions. It is however concluded that the roof lithology, stress regime and roof characteristics can change within meters in a production section. Therefore, in order to predict these changing conditions many boreholes are required for a section, which would be costly and time consuming.
An in-depth study into the roof support elements was conducted for the purpose of obtaining an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of roof support systems and developing guidelines for their improvement. All of the currently available roof bolt support elements and related machinery were evaluated using in situ short encapsulated pull tests. The results showed that, on average, bond strengths obtained from the roof bolts supplied by different manufacturers can vary as much as 28 per cent. The test results conducted on different resins showed that the strength of resin currently being used in South Africa is adequate. Differences between commonly used bit types were established. It is concluded that the 2-prong bit outperforms the spade bit in sandstone and shale rock types. In addition, the effect of hole annulus was also investigated as part of this study. The results show that an annulus between 2.5 mm to 3.8 mm resulted in the most effective bond strengths. The effect of wet and dry drilling was noted. It is found that bond strengths and overall support stiffnesses are greater with the use of the wet drilling in all resin types. The results from the tests in different rock types highlighted the very distinct differences between bolt system performances. Quality control procedures for compliance with the design, support elements and quality of installation are presented. Recommendations for improving the quality control measures and for developing testing procedures for bolt system components, installation quality and resin performance are provided.
Finally, a roof support design methodology that takes into account all natural variations exist within the rock mass and the mining process has been developed and presented. This was achieved by adapting a probabilistic design approach using the well established stochastic modelling technique. This methodology enables rock engineers to design roof support systems with greater confidence and should result in safer and economic extraction of coal reserves.

81 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K80 BATAVIA, 21 February 1948, 2.30 p.m.
Dubois has reported Neher called on him for a long discussion in which he expressed the hope that Dubois might inform the Republic that the Dutch would welcome Hatta, Sjahrir and Leimena in an interim Federal Government. Neher thought this might constitute a political settlement which would eliminate the need for wrangling difficult details which would keep the committee for months in Indonesia. Neher also stated that the Dutch were most anxious to set up as United States of Indonesia and anything which the committee could do to help towards this end would be greatly appreciated. In answer to a query, Neher expressed the opinion that if the Republic demanded a fourth position the Netherlands would not wish to see a breakdown of their plan merely on this account. There is still no indication of Dutch conception of powers and functions of the interim Government. Although Neher is reported by Dubois to have said that it was the intention to give members wide responsibilities it is my guess that the proposed set up would leave Van Mook all the important decisions and the members would in effect be glorified administrators under him.
Dubois intends to go alone to Djokjakarta on Sunday morning to consult Soekarno.
2. This development which explains the absence of the expected announcement by Van Mook on the formation of an interim Government (see my telegram K.74 [1] paragraph 4) may be viewed from a number of angles;
(a) As Dubois would suggest Neher and Van Mook may be sincere and may be seeking to take advantage of Van Vredenburch's absence. As Kirby will have reported, Van Vredenburch has been the main obstructionist in negotiations here.
(b) The offer may be the result of pressure by the State Department following the disappointment at Van Meek's cold reply to Hatta's offer of co-operation in an interim Government (see my telegram K74). [2] A quick settlement pleasing to the United States would pay the Dutch dividends in United States dollars.
(c) The Netherlands after taking into consideration the committee's press interviews in New York and the trend of the discussion in the Security Council, may be seeking to avoid a settlement on the basis of Renville principles. They are adopting their favourite, procedure of discussions in private and off the record. It may be their objective to pose the formation of a composite interim Federal Government as a political settlement, sufficiently far reaching to justify the withdrawal of the Good Offices Committee. If this is the case, use of the United States representative to convey the message is a clever stratagem for imposing additional pressure on the Republican Government.
3. I believe something along the lines of this last possibility is most likely. However, the Republicans will clearly have to respond to this latest overture to the extent of agreeing that Hatta and perhaps some other Republicans discuss the matter in detail with Neher and Van Mook at Batavia. Participation in an interim Federal Government would enable the Republicans to overcome difficulties they are at present facing on the vexed question of sovereignty.
On this issue the Dutch seem determined that the Republicans should eat humble pie and particularly following the Renville Agreement the Republican position is weak. Unilateral concessions on sovereignty would be a critical matter in the internal politics of the Republic whereas the participation in an interim Federal Government would enable them to hand over without loss of face such matters as foreign relations to that Government as they have in fact already agreed to do.
4. In all, the Republic's interests would seem best served by Hatta agreeing to participation in an interim Government, providing:
(a) the Republic obtain four portfolios and this is a reasonable proportion of the total number (say four ninths);
(b) that the Government is not subject to control by a parliament in which the Republic is not fairly represented;
(c) that the Government is a real Government in the sense that it can make political decisions and that any veto powers of Van Mook would only be used in exceptional circumstances;
(d) that such participation is without prejudice of political principles agreed upon on Renville and that both Governments will continue negotiations in conjunction with the Good Offices Committee with a view to the complete formation of a United States of Indonesia as early as possible;
(e) that the Republic is solely responsible for internal security in their own state.
5. If, as I believe most likely, the Dutch refuse these conditions, the Republicans could take advantage of the situation by referring the whole issue to the Committee of Good Offices.
Their position would be the stronger because [of] Van Mook's letter which clearly considers a political settlement as somewhat additional to the formation of an interim Government. By that time there would probably be press leaks which would help to counter the Dutch policy of working in the dark.
6. Any comments would be appreciated. I am endeavouring to see Hatta before he has any discussions with the Dutch and failing instructions to the contrary will make suggestions along the lines of paragraph 4 above.

My family's tradition is to eschew matching clothing of any kind.
Now that I have read what, when, or where starts your Disney vacation. The next part of the question is.......
What is one or any of your "traditions" that you have when visiting the world? something that you have to ride first, a certain resturant you must eat at everytime you visit, or maybe just a place you go to relax when you are at WDW.
My "tradition" everytime I go to WDW is the first morning of my trip I always have an early character breakfast before the park offically opens at the Crystal Palace in the MK. Then I always ride the Haunted Mansion as soon as the park opens at 9 if its not magic hours. I always have and will continue this tradition for vacations to come!
My family's tradition is to eschew matching clothing of any kind.
We always get our picture taken at the picture spot facing the castle next to the Crystal Palace...then we walk over and grab the best dog on property at Casey's Corner mmmmmm
Day 1 WDW Radio
Keep to the code
My wife has to have a caramel covered apple from the Candy Cauldron in DTD. We always have breakfast w/ Mickey @ Chef Mickey's! FuN FUN FUN!!!
We always watch Wishes on our last night.
When you wish upon a star.....
Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. WD
...That's the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. WD
"For those who get it, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do."
The first evening we arrive, we like to head to Beaches & Cream to split a Kitchen Sink.
We always purchase disney wall art to bring back and hang in our kids playroom. It is a great walk down memory lane.
We always get a photo of my husband and my son sitting in RC at ASMo. It's great to track how he's changed from year to year.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
We always eat at Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace.

Once a trip my mom and I like to get a pastry and frozen latte at the Main Street bakery for breakfast!
After checking in, we head to Downtown Disney for marshmallow treats at Goofy's Candy Company. Then we head over to the TTC & hop on the monorail for a spin around EPCOT. It gets us even more excited!
As for touring the MK it was PotC first thing - since we've had kids (DS 7 & DD 2) we do Dumbo first thing. I can't imagine it any other way
The last two days for me are always the same. I leave Wilderness Lodge to turn in the rental car, and take the free shuttle to Saratoga Springs. The next morning, we check out, check in for our airline, then walk over to DTD for lunch at Earl of Sandwich and shopping before walking back to catch Magical Express.
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
Fireworks at the Magic Kingdom is always the last thing we do.
We all also have personalized Mickey ear hats that we'll all wear to the Magic Kingdom...even my parents and grandmother...11 of us total. It's quite a sight.
Dinner at the Crystal Palace.
Also as we got older, my sisters and I (all older than 16 mind you) developed a new tradition to pick one day to wear princess tiaras (usually Epcot day...or a second MK day). My one sister styles hair as a hobby so she'll give us all fancy up-dos and lock that crown into place.
And being the Donald fangirl I am, I also try to pick up at least one Donald Duck item while I'm there. The gift shop outside Mickey's Philharmonic is one of my favorite places to shop! There is so much Donald stuff I can't find anywhere else!
Gotta love a duck in uniform.
We always take pictures with our favorite Disneys characters and favorite Disneys attractions. We also Purchase some decorations things for kids room, like, Disney wall art etc and some toys.
Best Regards,

The Washington Nationals, who own a 2.89 team ERA, best in the Major Leagues, but also have six blown saves on the season, expect closer Drew Storen to return to the majors after the All-Star break.
Storen, who underwent a procedure to remove a bone chip in his right elbow, made 100 throws from flat ground yesterday. "The arm feels different, but it's where it should be," he said.
Current closer, Henry Rodriguez, who has 9 saves in 12 opportunities, has looked shaky recently, most notably last Sunday, giving up a walk-off grand slam to the Reds' Joey Votto.
Storen posted a 0.9 fWAR last season compiling 43 saves and a 3.32 FIP.

You are only going to see this page once EVER. It's really important you read the following words very carefully.
From the desk of Ty Brown, Dog Trainer
Dear Dog Owner,
This training program gets me excited.
I don't know of another resource anywhere where you can learn advanced off leash obedience with an e-collar.
For those that don't know, an e-collar is a tool that, when used
properly, is very humane. With it we can achieve very advanced
levels of obedience.
Picture taking your dog anywhere off of a leash…
Yeah, that level of obedience.
Very few trainers in the country can help you get to that level of
obedience and none, that I have found, have ever revealed their methods
in DVD format to help you, the dog owner, achieve that level.
At my local company here in Utah we charge anywhere from $1200-$2500 for the training available in this DVD program.
You invest a tiny fraction of that…
It does not matter if…
- You've already tried EVERYTHING and still your dog isn't obedient.
- If your vet, other dog trainers, friends, or dog owners at the park tell you it is a 'lost cause' and you need to get rid of your dog
- If you think you are good or bad at training your dog
Even if you are an absolute beginner I promise you that you can start to see almost immediate results in obedience training your dog. Many of our clients are first time dog owners and yet they start to see their off leash results beginning in mere weeks.
Over my career I've successfully helped hundreds of dog owners, just like you, to take their dogs from wild and out of control to calm and well mannered and impeccably obedient off the lead…
In fact, if you stick with me for the next couple minutes and read this letter top to bottom, and you are the action taker I hope you to be, then you can get set to…
Start ENJOYING your dog today instead of being afraid of what he or she may do and start giving your dog more freedom by allowing your dog to come with you to just about anywhere…
How does that sound? Pretty amazing, right? (It's true, though, and I'm the only dog trainer out there who literally puts his money where his mouth is. Read on…)
But if you've read other books, talked with other so-called 'dog
training professionals', and read everything you can find online you may
already be skeptical about your ability to train your dog. When
another dog trainer tells you 'this is it' you probably roll your eyes and think 'yeah, I've heard that before…'
I've had many clients that have thought the same thing. Each and every one of them, though, arrived at a point where they realized they had nothing left to lose. Their dog, despite all of their best efforts, continued being disobedient.
Are you at that point?
More Satisfied Clients:
Before you go any further and waste time I need to let you know. This training program IS NOT for some of you out there:
- If you aren't willing to work at training your dog this IS NOT for you. I teach something very unique called Integration Training that makes your training easier and quicker than just about any other training program out there. It still requires effort, though.
- If you are looking to find magic in 'treat training' this IS NOT for you. The biggest dog training lie of the 21st century is that you can fix anything with treats. When it comes to reliable obedience, though, that just isn't true.
- If you only pay lip service to wanting a trained dog then this IS NOT for you. Having a trained dog means effort, time, money, involvement. If you aren't prepared to invest those things into your dog you are better off with a stuffed animal.
- If you are looking for a re-hashed, tired, cheap dog training eBook then this IS NOT for you. My program is a real DVD course full of hours and hours of video instruction. There is nothing basic about this at all.
Before I tell you a little more about the program let me tell you about myself.
I'm a normal guy. I have a wife and four daughters and have been an animal lover my whole life. When I was 14 years old my parents finally relented and allowed me to get a dog (they weren't big fans of dogs). I studied every book and every resource I could get my hands on. I read every library book on dog training twice and got myself plenty confused. Every method I read contradicted with others and most of them were hard to comprehend in the first place.
Around this time I called a local dog trainer and begged him for a job. He didn't have a paying job available but he allowed me to apprentice for him for a number of years while I was in high school. For me it was an amazing opportunity.
I was kind of a goofy kid. I had these huge coke bottle glasses, I was chubby, I was always trying to make wisecracks that no one seemed to get. When I finally discovered that I had a skill with training dogs it was an amazing self-esteem booster. I loved it. When I was about 15 the trainer actually allowed me to lead parts of his group obedience classes and I was on top of the world.
This was my start and it led me down the path to where I am today. From that job I was able to land another job on the East Coast when I was in my early 20s. At this job I trained protection dogs, police dogs, and guard dogs. Very few people in the country have learned obedience training and specific training at this level. One thing I learned there, though, was that the same principles that applied to training a highly trained police dog that sold for $30,000 + are the same principles that apply to training a poodle, Yorkie, or Labrador. Those were the skills that I brought to opening my business here in Utah that has now been running successfully for years. We've been voted the best dog training company in the state almost every year we've been in business and we are incredibly proud of that.
As I developed my methods for house training, destruction, obedience, and fixing aggression I've used the experiences I've gained from working with some of the best trainers in the world while adding my own knowledge and skill. That is the depth of understanding that I bring to you with my DVD programs.
This will sound a little bit like a brag but most trainers out there boast about the trainers they've worked with in their life…now I've become the trainer that other trainers across the country brag about working with.
Even thought I've gained this expertise I've made sure that my methods are easy enough to do for even the most beginner of dog owners. My clients have been lifelong dog owners and they've been complete 'newbies'. Wherever your skill level, you can benefit from my advanced e-collar obedience program.
Enough about me. Let me tell YOU what you'll be getting in my Advanced E-Collar Obedience program:
- My intro DVD. This DVD is going to cover fundamental things that all dog owners should know like which dog training tools actually UN-TRAIN your dog, the one thing that causes most people to socialize their dogs in a way that CAUSES aggression, the key components for crate training, how to troubleshoot ANY dog behavior problem, my obedience formula for getting your dog to listen to you the FIRST time, EVERY time., and much more.
- Skills for getting your dog to lie down, sit, go to a bed and stay put no matter how long and no matter how many distractions and with or without a leash.
- My fool proof (and almost always QUICK) method for having perfect leash walking and off leash walking. Imagine if tomorrow you no longer had to be pulled down the street and you could even walk in your neighborhood without a leash.
- My method for having your dog lie down and stay even while you are far away.
- How to take the foundation training and apply it to issues like jumping, begging, stealing, and other behavior problems.
There's More, Though!
Act now and you'll also get these bonuses while they last:
- A workbook course. Not only is it important for you to learn these training principles but you'll also need reminders and ways to check off your progress. My workbooks will allow you to that.
- Immediate access to these training resources through your membership on my site. As soon as you order we'll ship you out your DVDs and workbooks. Before you get those, though, you'll be able to start training through your online membership.
- Your membership also includes access to tele-seminars, webinars, and other supplemental training that we do with frequency.
- An e-Book collection of several eBooks that I've written on a variety of subjects from obedience to aggression and more.
I'm so confident that you are going to love my training course plus all the bonuses that I'm going to 'put my money where my mouth is.'
This is the most generous 100% Money Back Guarantee in Dog Training. Ask around. Our company has a long history of 'wow-ing' our customers and treating them like gold. We've even won awards nearly every year of business for our award winning service. We will ship your package as soon as we hear from you. You should receive it in a few days. Watch it and check out the training secrets for yourself…and take a full 45 days to decide if you like what you see.
If you aren't seeing the absolute highest level of, make your neighbors jealous, impress your friends, no-matter-what, no-matter-when off leash obedience then I insist you return the program for a full and quick refund. No hassles, just send the program back and you get your money back. It's that simple.
I've literally taken all the risk out of you investing in my program. Either you love it and you get your dog's obedience problems fixed…or you don't and you get your money back. It's as simple as that and I don't know any other dog trainer that is willing to back up his training like I am.
Think about it, you came here today for a reason. You need help solving obedience problems. If you don't take action today what is going to happen? How much more risk will your dog and those around your dog be in if you don't start making progress TODAY? How much longer will you stumble around trying to fix this problem on your own before you finally decide to hire an expert to help you out? Don't continue to procrastinate, start making progress RIGHT NOW!
Get This Entire Course Right Now For Just $97
Happy Training,
Ty Brown
P.S. If you are still doing tomorrow what you are doing today your dog will still be acting the same. Start changing things today!
P.P.S. I would hate to see you lose out because you weren't sure. Remember that this is fully guaranteed and that you are risking absolutely nothing. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that you have an 45 day money back guarantee. If you decide for any reason that you're not thrilled, I will simply refund your entire purchase price no questions asked.

Ty, I just had to write to tell you THANK YOU! We adopted a roughly three year old female rottweiler about two years ago and have loved having her. She is, however, 100 plus pounds of dog! While we had worked on basic commands, she would not follow them if distractions were present. Thus, they weren't much good. We're on week three of using your training videos and the ecollar. It has been wonderful. I only regret that we did not know about or look into this earlier. She walks at a heel, sits, and stays with other dogs around, cats crossing the street and little kids screaming. We love having her and taking her with us to the park. I can tell we will certainly have more freedom and less worry in the future wondering how she will react if we take her along. Your training videos have allowed us to have our big girl be an integral part of our family. Thank you! Danielle Ream
Your videos are worth every penny… A true investment to training your dog!!!

Tracey in Utah
"I worked so hard doing the foundation work with my chocolate lab but once we got outside the home and there were heavy distractions, it all fell apart. I wanted to use an e-collar but knew professional guidance was a must. Your videos are what saved me! (and I'm here in Utah so your trainer Joe has already been a wonderful help as well.) I was able to start using the ecollar just with you video instruction and I swear to you I had a different dog in two days. The off leash control is wonderful and no more pulling when on the leash either! I know I have to stay committed in order to wean her off the collar eventually but I'm enjoying her so much we are spending even more time playing in the park and on walks. Also, future Utah clients should know how much help the group classes are too. Thanks so much!"

My 13 month old little girl walks when you hold her hands and sometimes she will walk her walking toys around the house for a short distance. She does not say anything. She makes lots of sounds but no words. When I tell her do go get something she doesn't understand. She seems much like a 6 month old baby at times. Other times she does things that amaze me. For instance, I am trying to get her off the bottle and the other night she wanted one. She crawled into the kitchen got in the drawer where her bottles are and got one out, closed the drawer, sat down and sucked on the empty bottle. Also, we have a 7 year old that is "normal" in every way. My husband has a 4 year old that has been tested and has been classified as "metally disabled." She does not talk, not potty trained and understands little of what you tell her to do. She didn't sit up until she was over a year old.. my daughter sat up at 8 months. She also didnt show any signs of walking until she was over 2 years old. My concern is that my 13 month old has the same problems as her half sister even though there are certain things that my 13 month old can do now that her sister couldn't do at this age. |

Probably the best thing you can do is to make an appointment with your pediatrician to bring your daughter in for observation and share these concerns with him or her. Ask all your questions there. |
She's just taking her time. But ask her pediatrician. My 29 year old didn't walk until she was 15 months old, and I was already pregnant with her little sister. I had nightmares of having two kids in my arms. Once she started walking, there was no stopping her. My second child walked at 9 months, and ran at 9 months and 1 day! Enjoy |
My 14 month old daughter is exactly the same. There is no blueprint, your child will be walking and talking when they are ready. If you are really worried about no words you should talk to your doctor but I was told an ear test would be appropriate because they may not be hearing words in order to say them correctly. My sister-in-law's son did not speak until he was 18 months, no words at all. My daughter can say "Uh Oh, Momma, Dada", she sure is cute though. |

Hi all, I'm a big hydrangea fan, but I've never grown too many. I have four Nikko Blue on the side of our porch I planted bout four, five years ago and they've finally I think are hitting the "mature" state, as they aren't as floppy anymore and they're blooming great this year. We have other miscellaneous pink hydrangea planted around that I think we've been given as gifts around Easter and the like, and they turn out rather hardy, least one is big 4 x 4 shrub or so that is always pink and has no color shift.
I just planted and plan to buy more Annabelle hydrangea for cut flowers to sell to make some extra income during the summer/fall. I thought I might as well try some others as well to help make money/make the yard look even nicer. I love antique things, any suggestions of the older varieties that are pretty vigorous/grow and bloom well? I've been looking at the database of what's available from Vintage Gardens and Hydrangea Plus and some other sites for reference, at least what antique ones are available, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed by the selection, I like them all! There are two I pass on the road near my house which are the deepest cobalt blue, and I do not think they are 'Nikko' which I'll ask if I can get a cutting from one of these days. Some of the lacecap are interesting, especially the ones that are Japanese. I keep remembering old mophead hydrangea bushes that have much smaller sepals clustered together than say, 'Nikko Blue' whose are rather large in trusses but but still were pretty large shrubs and of pretty blue/purple/pink. More "antique" or delicate looking, very round flowers. Do you know which one that could be? I was thinking of'La France' and 'Otaksa' might be a good place to start with and while it's not antique 'Preziosa' also intrigues me, any other reccomendations that are just stunning/unique and also a very good cut flower? |

Oath5, An oldy-but-goody is the Pee Gee Hydrangea. If you explore old 19th century graveyards, you'll see it was frequently used. The blossoms turn wonderful sepia tones late in the season, that dry easily, and can be brought indoors for decorating until you get tired of them. Here's an old comment I took from the Sears Henry Heirloom Plant Collection: |

Gilbert: Hand me down my walking cane
Have you noticed that as we get older and older we seem to move farther and farther away from that valued target audience?
Television programming is geared for either kids who watch cartoons or young adults with money to burn. Betty White and Dustin Hoffman appear to be the only people developing television or movies for the "mature" audience.
It is often pointed out that other cultures value and honor their elders more noticeably than we do.
I suppose one could consider the industry of retirement villages and rest homes as some kind of value and honor for old folks; however, they are really profit centers. But I digress.
The BBC recently reported in their news and technology division a product developed specifically to be of help to the elderly — er, mature population.
In the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, the prototype for this amazing product was unveiled. Now picture this: a walking cane developed by Fujitsu called a "smart walking stick" equipped with various technologies such as GPS, 3G and wifi — with an LED display on top of the handle!
It is not surprising that the Japanese, who traditionally value and honor their elders, would create this "Next Generation Cane." Like several companies in their region, Fujitsu is looking at ways to help the aging population remain mobile and connected later in life — potentially extending the ability to continue working or to be of service to the community. Although the smart cane is designed for the elderly, Fujitsu envisions it being used by any vulnerable person of any age.
So what does this magic stick do? It sends data back to the host computer so a caretaker or family member can see at a glance how the user is doing. In addition to helping the user find his way, it monitors heart rate and temperature. Location can be followed online and can be set up to send an email alert if it thinks the user may have fallen over.
If a change of direction is needed, the walking stick vibrates and an arrow appears on the display. As if that is not enough, the walking stick can automatically contact emergency services if it detects an irregular heartbeat.
If you think about it for a minute, it doesn't take much to imagine expanded uses for this amazing stick of technology. It could have a horn to warn skateboarders or slow movers of the approach of an old person with a high powered piece of equipment. It could have prerecorded messages as well: "Here she comes — the little old lady from Pasadena." It could have headlights in the event the old person is out after dark. Actually, it could power a string of lights similar to Christmas lights that could be worn like a necklace or bracelet by the user.
I am willing to bet that if the cane were more like a tube, one could keep cold beverages inside it. Put wheels on it and attach a little wagon if desired. It might even be possible to attach a teeny tiny microwave so that snacks could be heated. And I will bet that with all the technical prowess of Fujitsu, a miniature television or radio could be installed. Oh, and for sure, an umbrella attachment. The possibilities boggle the mind.
Fujitsu has not announced the planned release date for the Next Generation Cane; however, I will be keeping watch on their website for such news. I want my name on the top of the order list.

There are two versions of this mod: 2.0a and 2.0b
- I can not stress enough, that I am aware this mod might be not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm OK with that. If you do not like the mod, then please leave without a comment. The comments section is not a place for discussing your personal tastes in men or your sexual preferences. That said, every kind of trolling, flaming or inappropriate remark will be reported. Please keep comments to constructive suggestions and bug reports. Thanks.
- My PM inbox is not the proper place for techsupport questions. Use the comments thread please. It has dedicated members like Netherwalk and Faeriexdecay, whose work I greatly appreciate, and other experienced users who frequently reply to the questions too. I read the comments thread, so I will see anything you write there.
- I've written a FAQ for you guys, and I'm regularly updating it. I really think it is worth reading and it can be helpful with many questions you have, but if you are ignoring it, you should not be surprised if the question that already has been addressed in the FAQ is ignored too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am having very obvious neck seam when using your face textures, is there any way to have seamless textures for the face and the body?
1. You can reduce the neck seam by using matching Subsurface Maps (..._sk maps) for the face and for the body. You can download _sk maps for reducing neck seam in the Optional Files Section on this page.
2. IF you are experienced Photoshop or GIMP user you can try to blend Neckseam using special PSD files I have uploaded into Miscellaneous Files Section. Beware that Blender Texture color might be not exactly fitting to the face and body textures you use. You must adjust it yourself.
3. Custom body meshes themselves can be the cause of neck seam as well. You'll have to fix the body mesh you're using with special program - Nifskope. Here is what you should do:
First of all download and install Nifskope and then open up your meshes malebody_0, malebody_1, malefeet_0, malefeet_1 and malehands_0, malehands_1 located in Data/meshes/actors/character/character assets and fix the following parameters: BS Num UV Sets -1, Has Normals - NO, accordingly to the image below for every part (NiTriShape - NiTriShapeData) of the body mesh.
Remember: this mesh fix is necessary for ALL ARMOURS (only body parts inside the armour, not the armour mesh itself) and ALL body meshes in order to avoid neck seam on that particular armour or naked body.
4. It is also well known, that some ENBs can be the cause of the neck seam - if you use the recommended body maps and you're still heaving obvious neck seam and if you're advanced ENB user, you can check these settings in your enbseries.ini:
=> SubSurfaceScatteringPowerDay=12.0 <=
=> SubSurfaceScatteringPowerNight=12.0 <=
=> SubSurfaceScatteringPowerInterior=12.0 <=
The lower those 3 last settings are the stronger is the neck seam. It is recommended to keep those settings values around 12 to 20.
Q: Why can't you just fix the bodies and body textures and upload it somewhere, so that users can download ready files and they don't need to do anything themselves?
A: I can't fix the bodies, because there are too many of them and everyone uses different textures and so on and so forth. And I totally have no interest whatsoever in fixing things I will never use. SO I provided resources for people who want to fix the neck seam by themselves. Once you've downloaded my PSDs, open them up in Photoshop or GIMP and the process is really straightforward. Open up the textures you use and drug them to the Photoshop document. Make sure neck seam patch is visible and lays ABOVE your texture. Merge the layers and save your textures using the following settings, to save uncompressed, ot with DXT5 to save compressed textures, and don't forget to have "generate mipmaps" checked:
Remember: YOU control what your Skyrim looks like. If you don't want to do anything for it, I can't help you.
Q: I am still having a neck seam, and I am using all recommended Subsurface maps and I fixed all the meshes and textures and I have checked my ENB settings, what else can I use to make neck seam less obvious?
Q: What mods you are using on your images?
A: ENB is used on all the screenshots. See the recommended ENBs list below.
Hair - ApachiiSkyHair
Eyes - The Eyes Of Beauty
For younger looking characters - BFG - Better FaceGen by Radioragae
Piercing - Piercing by newermind43
Cloaks - Winter Is Coming - Cloaks by Nivea
Wolf helmet on the primary image The Call of The North Beta by Guardian300
Q: What ENB mods are you using?
A: 1. Winterheart II - Atmospheric ENB
2. PINEAPPLEVISION ENBs
3. The Goddess ENB by Anaphiel
4. Project MATSO ENB
5. Seasons of Skyrim ENB
Q: Where can I get the characters form your screenshots?
A: Almost all the characters on the screenshots in the main images section belong to my friends, some of the characters are available for download on Nexus. If you have any questions about the images in the main section - ask the image author. The image author name is indicated in the screenshot description.
The links to the NPC mods which were used to make the shots for the author images section:
Vilkas and Farkas by Netherwalk
The Dovahkiins New Allies by Netherwalk
The Hirelings by Netherwalk
Housecarls by Netherwalk
Julien Christophe - Priest of Mara by greyblood
Stenvar- Colossal Crusher by greyblood
Q: Will there be a lite/performance version of your textures?
A: You can use the following utility to resize and optimize the textures yourself for better performance: Optimizer Textures by AdPipino.
Q: I can't make such beautiful males like you! Can I please have a save or presets of your characters?
A: I highly recommend using this presets mod: Inhabitants of Skyrim - Character Presets by Rops1981 Many characters you see in my images section were based on it.
Q: I can not download the file with NMM. The download stops / the file seems to become corrupt. Can you help please?
A: Try manual download. You can still use NMM installation after you've downloaded the file manually - all you need is just put the manually downloaded file into the folder where NMM keeps the files.
Q: I am heaving a problem with installing the optional files with NMM. What am I doing wrong?
A: After you've installed the main mod you must tell NMM to install every next file normally (by clicking "NO") and overwrite files if it asks (by clicking "YES"). Remember, you cannot double-click on the file in NMM to install every next file - NMM can't see the difference between mods coming from the same download page and thinks they are all the same mod. So, you MUST install every file in NMM using the green arrow button, then tell it to install normally by clicking "No," then tell it to overwrite the files by clicking "Yes to all".
Q:When I try to install the Mod with NMM it never ends up in the "plugins" section. There is no esp file. Why is that?
A: This file doesn't have any esp because it is simple texture replacement mod. It doesn't need any esp to work. Just install it with NMM, go to your game and have a look.
Q: Do I need to install "No More Blocky Faces" mod, or some other mods you've listed in your credits?
A: No you don't need any other mods.
Q: Will this mod affect all the NPCs in game?
A: Yes.This mod changes how all male NPCs will look in game, but not by directly changing them - there is no plug-in file which will change NPCs in this mod. There are only textures, that will replace the game's default ones, and all the characters will use them instead.
Q: I installed this mod and male faces turned completely black, what can I do?
A: You run out of VRAM. Restart your computer when that starts happening. You might also want to reduce the number of high res textures you use, or lower your settings.
Q: I want to use this mod for player character only, can you recommend something?
A: You can use The Ningheim Race mod - this race already has my textures built in it, so you don't need to make any adjustments by yourself, all you need is - download The Ningheim race, install it and play as unique character with unique textures.
Q: Any chance you'll make a female version of your textures?
A: I don't think I will be making an absolutely new female texture, because there are already so many good mods for females. But I made a mix from several female textures available here on Nexus, and I will eventually upload it, when all the permission issues are clarified.
Q: Could you replace the facial hair and eye brows with higher quality ones?
A: There are already several mods like that available on Nexus:
Beards by Hvergelmir and Omesean,
HQ Beards - vanilla texture replacers by Regn,
ApachiiSkyHair and Beard Retexture by Bloodysunday,
HQ Eyebrows - vanilla texture replacers by Regn,
Smooth Faces by pikkatze - Male eyebrows (Darker and Lighter version)
Q:The wrinkles look too fake, like they have been painted on the face and not like real wrinkles. Is it possible to make a mod with real wrinkles?
A: This has to do with how the Vanilla game handles ages. The ages of 40 and 50 years old have special detail maps with the wrinkles painted on them and painted wrinkles can never look like the real ones unfortunately. The only NPCs in game who actually have real wrinkles are the NPCs of Elderly Race (Old NPCs)- they have special wrinkled normal maps. It is possible to make different age normal maps with real wrinkles available for player character, but this will require an esp file. If you wish to use real wrinkles normal map for your PC, have a look at this mod:
40 years old Normal map by Gs_Storm
Q: I think these textures don't look rough/rugged/wrinkled/gritty etc. enough. Is there any chance you will make your textures more rough/rugged/wrinkled/dirty, etc.?
A: No. I made this mod for myself and for my friends and I like it the way it is. I am not taking requests, but I am giving you the option of downloading it, which I do with almost all of my work. If this mod is not to your liking - do not download.
Q: Can you recommend another replacer for male face textures with more rough/rugged look?
A: 1. Smooth Faces for Ladies and Gents by pikkatze
2. High Res Face Maps for Men by Geonox
3. MacKoms Real Skin for Men
Q: I still want to use your mod and I want to get more wrinkles and roughness, how to do that?
A: Do not install the following files listed in the folder data/textures/actors/character/male:
Q: I prefer my male characters to have a closer to Vanilla look, but I would like to have more detailed textures. Is there any mod like that?
A: XCE - Xenius Character Enhancement by Xenius
Detailed Faces v2 by Xenius
Q: Can you recommend a good mod for high resolution Warpaint and dirt maps?
A: Battle Hardened Warpaints by Diethardt and netherwalk
Weathered and Worn Warpaints by Diethardt
High Res Warpaint and Dirtmaps for Men by Geonox
Q: Can you recommend a good mod for high resolution scars?
A: 1. High Resolution Scars by Xenius; 2. Gizmodians Scars by Gizmodian and Xenius; 3. XCE - Scarface by Xenius

I recently looked at the ThermoLab Micro and found it to be an energy efficient processor-only cooler that was designed for small enclosures. Today we are going to look at the ThermoLab Nano, an even smaller cooler made for the same type of application; extremely small enclosures and cases.
Before you start to yawn I will go ahead and say upfront that the Nano performed better than the Micro, even though it is a smaller cooler and fan. What is really attention getting is the size of the cooler and the custom applications that modders will be able to use with it.
ThermoLab is a small South Korean company that specializes in thermal testing equipment. Recently they expanded their operation to include small coolers for custom systems. Their two current offerings, the Micro and Nano are not currently available on store shelves, but they should be before too long.

See more of Epi's bestMaple Pecan Pie in Wheat-Flavored Crust
Bon Appétit | October 1999
photo by Noel Barnhurst
Makes 8 servings
The name Newman was once a staple only in Hollywood; today, it's a staple in kitchens all across the country. That is largely the result of the efforts of two people: Paul Newman, who founded the Newman's Own line of food products in 1982, and his daughter Nell, who expanded the brand with Newman's Own Organics 11 years later. All profits of both companies go to charities.
And what dessert gives this giving family the greatest comfort? "Pecan pie," says Nell, whose mother—actress Joanne Woodward—grew up in the South. "I've always loved pecan pie and the smell of toasting pecans and burnt sugar that goes with it. My aunts Betty Lane and Nina still send their pecan pies up from Georgia at the holidays."
This update on the sweet southern classic has the true taste of maple and some whole wheat flour in the crust.
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- Wheat-flavored Crust
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Stir syrup, brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Increase heat and boil 1 minute. Cool to lukewarm, about 45 minutes.
Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Roll out crust dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim dough overhang to 1 inch. Fold edge under, forming high-standing rim; crimp decoratively. Freeze crust until firm, about 20 minutes.
Whisk eggs, vanilla and salt in 4-cup measuring cup to blend. Gradually whisk maple syrup mixture into egg mixture. Stir in pecan halves.
Pour filling into crust. Bake pie until filling is slightly puffed around edges and center is set, about 55 minutes. Cool pie completely on rack. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Cut pie into wedges and serve.
