In the search for glimmering jewels which are also humans in real life, there's an instinct among some to quickly ignore anyone who plays for the New York Jets. Like the reaction to ignore the logic which tells you to start Josh Freeman over Matthew Stafford, the ignorance of all that is Jets is quite understandable.
Even though Mark Sanchez looked surprisingly competent yesterday against soft Patriots coverage, the Jets still have the league's 28th-ranked passing offense, averaging only 200.4 yards per game through the air. If that average dips only one yard further, the Jets will become one of just five teams plodding along at a pace of less than 200 passing yards weekly.
What's worse is that they're also simply not attempting many passes, choosing to either run the suddenly improved Shonn Greene into some bodies, or go all gimmicky with Tim Tebow. The Jets' per game pass attempt average is just 31.6 (23rd), but when Sanchez does throw and he throws deep, someone has to catch that ball. Or at least ideally that's the outcome, because throwing a pass that's intended for no one would be just a little too Sanchez of Sanchez.
When those balls are thrown and hands are outstretched, they've primarily belonged to one man, just as they did yesterday.
Thy name is Jeremy Kerley, the second-year wideout who's emerged as Sanchez's top receiver with Santonio Holmes gone for the year. During the Jets' loss to New England, Kerley had seven receptions for 120 yards, establishing career highs in both categories. He's averaging 79.3 yards per game since Holmes went down in Week 5, a rise that's also the product of a bit of luck. A healthy Stephen Hill likely would have and should have taken that top receiver spot. But alas, Hill was struggling through a groin injury at the time, and so was tight end Dustin Keller, making Kerley one of the only warm bodies on the Jets' WR depth chart.
The result has been the emergence of the ideal plug and play depth receiver who can possibly rise to become a low-end WR3 with the right matchup. As Kerley continues to benefit from his status as the only true deep option for the Jets, he'll also continue to be targeted often. Yesterday Kerley was targeted 11 times, a week after he had seven targets, and he also had nine in Week 5.
With great opportunity comes great returns, and of his 238 receiving yards since stepping in for Holmes and 435 yards overall, most of them have come through balls that travel great distances. Sanchez has completed 21 passes for 20 yards or more, and nearly half of them (nine) have gone to Kerley. Even better, the Jets have completed only two passes for 40 yards or more, and they've both landed in Kerley's hands.
What this all leads to is a high upside deep threat who can still be purchased at a bargain waiver price. Despite his rise that's been building since Week 5, Kerley is still available in 57 percent of both ESPN and Yahoo leagues. That's a claim you need to make if you have even the slightest need for depth at the wide receiver position.
This is the part when you continue assuming that the Jets offense and by extension also Kerley won't be remotely consistent. My magic eight ball told me to try again another time, but if it wasn't such a lazy jerk it would probably say that yes, the assumption of more ineptitude by the Jets offense is a good one to make. But that ignores the fact that two weeks ago in a far less than ideal matchup against the Texans and either Daniel Manning or Johnathan Joseph, Kerley finished with 94 yards on just four receptions.
Kerley will be greeted with several more similarly crappy matchups, including the Cortland Finnegan/Janoris Jenkins tandem in Week 11, the Seahawks and Brandon Browner the week prior to that, and Patrick Peterson in Week 13. But of the Jets' nine remaining opponents, five of them currently have secondaries ranked 24th or lower. That includes another game against the Patriots (Week 12), and games against the Jaguars, Titans, and Chargers during the fantasy playoffs.
The alignment of those stars could lead to a prolonged boom for Kerley, with the loudest detonations coming during money-making time.

Excuse my terminology hydro here in Ontario is electrical power. I learned on this site years ago the simple calculation for cost of electrical power for an appliance etcetera. It is a simple formula that has been lost to me. All those hits to the head have caught up to me 40 years later. I.E. a 60 watt bulb used for x amount of time at 0.11 cents per kWh = $0.00 Thanks for reminding me. If anyone has kids let them take piano lessons, don't buy them skates. |

How to Take a Better Holiday Card Photo
Do you love the annual flurry of holiday greetings, but stress about which photo puts your family's best face forward? With a little advice from the experts, it's possible (dare we say… easy?) to take a great snapshot.
- Keep it simple. Get in close, and minimize noise (so nix the roaring fireplace and brightly patterned clothing).
- Light it right. Inside or out, the light source should be behind the photographer. Take advantage of overcast days, when the light is softer and there aren't harsh shadows on everyone's faces.
- Construct a triangle. For a more interesting shot, consider levels. For example, you may want to have one person standing, one in a chair, one on the arm, and one kneeling in front.
- Keep it short and sweet. Arrange the shot before you get the kids in the room, use big teddy bears as stand-ins if you need to, and consider having a friend take the picture (so your kids are more likely to actually take direction).
Have a snapshot you want to show off? Share your holiday cards (past and present) with everyone at Real Simple.

This paper uses the EPO/OECD World Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) to provide a quantitative description of the geographic distribution of inventions in thirteen climate mitigation technologies since 1978 and their international diffusion on a global scale. Statistics suggest that innovation has mostly been driven by energy prices until 1990. Since then, environmental policies, and climate policies more recently, have accelerated the pace of innovation. Innovation is highly concentrated in three countries—Japan, Germany and the USA—which account for 60% of total innovations. Surprisingly, the innovation performance of emerging economies is far from being negligible as China and South Korea together represent about 15% of total inventions. However, they export much less inventions than industrialized countries, suggesting their inventions have less value. More generally, international transfers mostly occur between developed countries (73% of exported inventions). Exports from developed countries to emerging economies are still limited (22%) but are growing rapidly, especially to China.

You may want to look at Wintry Lighthouse by The Design Connection and see if it will fit where you want it to go. I'm not familiar with waste canvas, so I am not sure if they make it in various sizes so you can reduce the size of the piece by using a finer canvas. |

By Andrea Lillo
Growing up, Satya Tiwari had little interest in the family business. Now, after more than nine years as the head of Surya, Tiwari has transformed the company from being just one of hundreds of unknown area rug importers into a major source for home furnishings with an all-star lineup of well-known designers.
"After I joined the company, I realized that this is a great business," Tiwari told HFN at the company's corporate headquarters in Calhoun, Ga. "If you do the right things, there's a big reward."
Surya Tiwari, Satya's father, founded the company in India in 1976 and launched the U.S. division 10 years later. When Satya joined the struggling company in 2004, the company's revenue was $2.7 million. Under Satya's leadership, the company was up to $17 million in annual sales by 2007.
And this year's goal? One hundred million dollars "easy," Satya Tiwari said. "We've grown 37 times in 10 years. No one else is doing that. We're building a great company here."
Great—and growing. Tiwari believes that Surya can become a $1 billion company within the next nine years.
Surya's bread-and-butter category, area rugs, will top out at $250 million of that $1 billion, Tiwari said. Already in wall decor, poufs, throws, decorative pillows and, debuting at the most recent High Point Market, accent furniture, Surya sees itself as a home furnishings company, and new categories will continue to debut. About 65-70 percent of its line is manufactured in India, with another 15 percent from China. By 2015, the company estimates that about a quarter of its entire product line will be made in the U.S.
Business-as-usual is not how Surya wants to do business, executives said.
The company is constantly evaluating all aspects of the business to see where it can implement changes to drive revenue.
"We're constantly evolving," said Seth King, vice president, sales and marketing.
Surya views designing rugs as part of a bigger role to help its retailers grow their business. That's what King discovered years ago when he was an independent sales rep in the Pacific Northwest: "I realized my job was not to sell rugs, but to help [the retailer] sell rugs." At Surya, that includes learning as much about a retailer as possible and recognizing its needs, as each retailer is different, he said. And then Surya can respond appropriately, whether that includes services such as its sampling program, creating a merchandise display or changing a policy. It's a collaboration, King said.
Surya's sales force of independent sales reps—totaling about 80 people—was restructured several years ago so that they focused on either furniture stores or design services, not territories, to better service those particular retail categories (the e-commerce and mass channels are handled by Surya's in-house sales team of about 20 people). To better service the reps, Surya recently created sales coordinator roles to train and support them, and now has about 30 of those.
This helps seal up any holes, King said, as sales leads sometimes slip through the cracks. "It's like doing business with a butterfly net; what are we missing?" said King.
While new accounts are good, existing accounts are just as important—if not more so—to the company. By just working with existing accounts, "we can double business this year without adding one single new account," King said. But that can be challenging: In 2011, the company opened 1,500 new accounts, but a huge percentage of those accounts had nominal reorders the following year, said King. To counter that, reps are now required to touch each customer once a month, he said, whether that's by email, phone call or visit, and they're in contact daily with their sales coordinator at Surya. If a rep is not able to service an account, King said, that account will go to another rep; there's no tenure.
"Accounts that reorder within 90 days are 85 percent of our business," King said, so communication is key.
In Calhoun, the company currently owns three buildings of 75,000 square feet each for warehousing and office space, while leasing another one. But it's already running out of space, so within three years Surya plans to consolidate everything into one facility, starting with a 500,000-square-foot space, and then expanding to 1 million.
The company has created a noticeably bigger presence at the markets in which it participates over the past few years, with the largest showroom to be opened in July for the Las Vegas Market, a 30,000 square-foot space in Building C. Previously, its High Point Market showroom, which it opened last year in Showplace, was the biggest, at 26,000 square feet.
Surya's marketing strategy at trade shows is impossible to miss, as the company has sponsored entertainment acts, planes flying banners overhead and more. It also has a robust online strategy to reach consumers.
But at the end of the day, it's all about design and color. That's what gets the customer to buy a rug, King said. "You have to focus on the fashion part of it. You can't be a leader in fashion and do only 100 product introductions a year. That's why we bring in everything." The company currently has more than 15 designer licenses, including Candice Olson, Angelo Surmelis, the Smithsonian Institution and, most recently, Ken Hom and Kate Spain.
The company has come a long way since King first met Tiwari in Surya's 20-by-40-foot booth in High Point Market's Showplace. Back then, in 2004, Surya "had no strategy, no customers, more inventory than revenue and a lot of ugly rugs," King said.
"We think we can change it all," said King. "We're building towards that."
Surya's Top Licenses:
Candice Olson
Angelo Surmelis

hello everyone, i live in quebec and i wanted to start planting morning glory seeds but im not sure if its too late in the season and if I would just be wasting my time...
most of the seeds would be planted in poor soil conditions with alot of grass but i read that this wouldn't be much of a problem if i use a bit of fertilizer... is this true? i'm a complete gardening noob so any help on growing these beatiful vines is always welcome, thank you for reading! |

Not too early..it's been so cold! I have some seedlings just popping up now from the vines I had last year, in all the wrong places, of course. Don't worry about the fertilizer. If you can plant them with a bit of triple mix or potting soil, they'll do fine. Fertilizing them, in my experience, results in lots of leaves, but not a lot of flowers. Wendy |
I agree with Wendy! Avoid fertilizer and also avoid potting soil with the fertilizer mixed in. They really don't enjoy this cold weather anyway. I started mine indoors but it is still too cold to set them out as far as I am concerned. Go for it! You have nothing to lose except the $1.99 worth of seeds maybe. |
I'm in Quebec also. I planted my seeds on May 14th and on May 20th I had sprouts out on two 'Evening Glory Ipomoea'(Moonflower). I'm still waiting to see any sprouts from Heavenly Blue & Blue Star. Before I planted the seeds I soaked them in water for 24 hours. Because the Moonflower seeds were the size of peas & easy to handle I nicked their seed coats with nail clippers prior to soaking. That was the first time I've done that & it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined and I think it really helped. They are the first to sprout even though I've read they can be tricky to grow. I didn't nick the others because they were substantially smaller & I thought soaking would be enough. Maybe I was wrong thinking that since they still show now signs of germination 9 days after planting. I've got my fingers crossed on one hand and the car keys in the other to run to buy more seeds!! So I would say soak your seeds for 24 hours to soften the seed coats and/or scratch or nick their seeds coats to help them to germinate before you plant 'em. All the best! |

How do I pick a toy? How do I know which ones he'll like? We hear these question quite often so here are some simple guidelines to help you choose a toy your child will be interested in for a good long time.
The best way to determine what will be the best toy is to consider your child's current interests and abilities.
Just the other day I was reading a post from a Mom who said she thinks her 9 month old daughter is bored with playing with the toys she has. She wanted some advice as to what toys would be good for her daughter.
In her post she mentioned several activities that her daughter likes: pulling herself up on chairs and furniture, crawling, grabbing for things, and finding things she can hold. Voila! What other information do you need? None!
Here's what I suggested:
1. When shopping for baby toys make sure you're choosing toys that are truly intended for babies. How do you know? Check the label and make sure the manufacturer's recommended age is in line with the child you're making the purchase for.
2. A child of 9 months has lots of capabilities and wants to explore like crazy. My first choice would be a pull toy. Pull toys have a string attached to them so that the baby can reach out and grab the string and pull it toward them. This may sound simple, but to a baby of this age it is monumental. They are learning to control and manipulate their world. The most popular pull toys include blocks in a wagon and animal pull alongs.
3. A 9 month old child also enjoys grabbing objects. A great toy choice would be a soft plush ball. These often have a rattle, bell, or chime inside for further interest. Baby will have fun grabbing it, rolling it (maybe even accidentally)
To recap, when choosing a toy for your child keep 3 things in mind:
1. Check the age recommendation by the manufacturer 2. Consider what your child already likes to do and look for a toy that mimics that behavior 3. Choose a toy that not only does the thing your child likes but offers even more! For example, a soft ball WITH a bell or rattle in it, a pull toy that's ALSO a set of blocks or a peek a boo toy that ALSO makes sounds (like a jack in the box!).

There have been a lot of them: parenting moments that I've felt more than unqualified for over the years. But I don't know if my heart would have ever been prepared for the night that my boy told me he wasn't sure if he believed in God.
According to him, he was eighty percent sure – an encouraging score when it comes to laundry completion and math tests – but definitely not the number I was looking for when it came to his faith. My mind raced through the days and years that my husband and I had lovingly pointed him towards Christ. Oh, the Bible stories he had heard… the church services he had attended. Hadn't God heard my hundreds of pleading prayers for my children to love Him with all of their hearts, souls and strength?
Oh, this mama's heart.
I usually find myself sitting on the edge of his bed for our nighttime routine, but this night you'd better believe that I crawled all the way in to lay right next to him and listen to his heart. Everything in me wanted to talk instead of listen; to convince him that of course he believed. But deep down I knew that he had to wrestle through his doubt and come to his own conclusion. That my faith couldn't be his. As I listened to my questioning ten year old, I recognized that the doubts he was facing weren't new or unique to him. Many people throughout the Bible – and many of us – go through seasons of doubt when it comes to knowing God.
Some grow up in church, hearing Bible stories and praying mealtime prayers for as long as they can remember. Belief seems obvious, but head knowledge doesn't always translate into heart knowledge. Some aren't exposed to God until later in life, where people and experiences have already crept in and jaded what they'll let their heart believe. Either way, there is often a disconnect when it comes to making a personal decision about the truth of who God really is.
Where have we gone wrong?
Here are some common "head games" that we play: roadblocks that we put up that keep God at a distance and limit the Truth of who He is from solidifying into our hearts. See if you can relate with any of these…
1. We base our knowledge of God on our emotions. If things go our way, God must be for us. If we don't get what we want, we question if there is a God who really loves us. Our human emotions often sway with every season, joy and trial, and at best can be unstable, unpredictable and shallowly based on our limited view of God's control over all things (Rom. 8:28). Until we are mature in the knowledge of Christ (Eph. 4:13-14), we'll continue to be tossed by every wave that comes our way, and our knowledge of God will be skewed.
2. We base our knowledge of God on current suffering, past hurts or people who have wronged us. It's impossible to live in this world and escape hardship (John 16:33). Because of sin, we experience everything from hurt feelings to costly wars against nations. But who we attribute that hardship to often determines what we believe about God. There is a sad number of people in this world who have turned their backs on God because they have been hurt by sinful people (all of us – Rom. 3:23) or difficult circumstances. The Bible warns us that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than in humans (Psalm 118:8). Though we may not always understand God's ways, when we really know Him, we can be sure that He is for us (Rom. 8), He gives good gifts to His children (Matt. 7:11), and that He will never leave us or forsake us (Deut. 31:6).
Sometimes it is through the hard stuff, the hard years, that we truly develop our relationship with God. We learn to be broken before Him. Sometimes when we get to the place where He is all we have, we find that He is really all we need." ~ Angela, You Are Loved, pg. 32
3. We base our knowledge of God on what we can understand. I need this reminder often: God is God and I am not. God instructs us to seek Him and know Him, but sometimes we fail to remember that we don't want a God that we can completely understand. Since He is God, His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9) and His ways are foolishness to the world (1 Cor. 1:27-29). Just because we can't always understand Him doesn't mean that we should stop trusting Him or give up in our pursuit to know Him more. It just means that as believers, we won't know everything until we get to heaven (1 John 3:2).
4. And maybe the hardest truth? We're just plain lazy. I don't want to admit it either, but the truth is we're a generation that wants quick knowledge and fast results. Instead of a hard and steady pursuit, we want immediate gratification. Knowing God takes a commitment to a relationship with God. It takes sacrifice, study and daily searching for Truth. Knowing God is not a passive activity that just "happens." Rather, we know God more when we actively pursue Him and His Word (Jer. 29:12-13).
In an effort to really get to know God, my boy took on a challenge to read the Bible five days a week for an entire school year. He prayed for God to reveal Himself to him, journaled his thoughts, asked his dad and me lots of questions, and wrestled through some academic things on his own. As much as a young boy could, he sought to really know who God is. As a result of his pursuit and the work of the Holy Spirit, I'm thrilled to report that his eighty percent is now a solid 100%.
But knowing God doesn't stop there.
A passionate relationship with the Creator of the universe isn't just about a one-time decision or simply about filling our minds with facts. Knowing God is a lifelong pursuit of the One who sent His Son to die for us, where we allow His life and death to impact us in such a way that our behaviors, our perspectives, our futures – our everythings – are forever changed because of Him.
We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding…" ~ 1 John 5:20
Friend, do you know Him today?
At His feet,
**LET'S TALK: Do you struggle with one of the "roadblocks" to knowing God mentioned above? How has the truth of God's Word helped you to overcome feelings of doubt when it comes to your faith?

Live Earth July 7, 2007 By Ernest Barteldes Rutherford New Jersey
"The most important thing you can do [to help the environment] is to get involved in the political process and get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, DC who are nothing more than corporate toadies for these villainous companies that consistently put their private financial interests ahead of American interests and the interests of the entire humanity," said Robert Kennedy, Jr. to loud applause between sets by Kanye West and Bon Jovi. "This is treason, and we have to start treating them now as traitors."That was the mood last Saturday under temperatures that neared 100 degrees at Live Earth, the global concert that included in its international editions performers like Angelique Kidjo, Jorge Ben Jor and Lenny Kravitz. The New York edition (which was really in New Jersey, as Jon Bon Jovi proudly pointed out) began at around 2 PM with R&B singer Kenna and Scottish-born singer KT Tunstall, who told us backstage that she thinks "it is the beginning of a collective consciousness of a problem – if you know that what you do affects someone in China and someone in India affects you and your potential children, then it's kind of a bit of a revolution, when people are starting to have mutual respect to each other."The first bands initially played to a half-filled stadium – ticket holders waited to enter later as better-known acts such as John Mayer and Leavenworth, KS-born Melissa Etheridge, who played a passionate rendition of her "Imagine That."Later in the evening, Alicia Keys played a tight set, followed by animal researcher Jane Goodall, who spoke about how climate change is endangering her beloved chimpanzees in Africa. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters took the stage and played an energetic set that included "In the Flesh," "Us And Them" and "Another Brick in The Wall, Part II" while his trademark inflatable pig flew around the stadium. Before going on, he spoke to the press telling us about the impact from this kind of concert (Live Aid, etc) over the years. "I've been watching television today, and I've been quite impressed with the way Al Gore's message and the extension of his work on An Inconvenient Truth has been presented throughout the world," he explained, "and this gives us the opportunity to actually feel the sense that we're all brothers and sisters in a very small blip of a planet and we really need to pull together if there's going to be any kind of a future for our children."The moment that most of the audience had been waiting for came at 10 PM when actress Cameron Diaz introduced the Police, who ended the 24-hour global marathon with "Roxanne," "Can't Stand Losing You" and finally "Message in A Bottle," when they were joined on stage by Kanye West and John Mayer. Al Gore then returned to the stage (introduced by Sting as "our guest bass player") and bid the audience good night.Those who couldn't get tickets saw the concerts on the Internet - MSN streamed the entire event (all 9 shows) as it unfolded, which had one of the largest online audiences ever, with more than 10 million people logged on at one time.

Should Tesla Make Batteries Instead of Electric Cars?
Soulskill posted about 8 months ago | from the batteries-aren't-as-fun-to-drive dept.
362cartechboy writes: "Tesla seems to be doing quite well these days, but one bond trader thinks the company should quit making electric cars and focus efforts on making batteries instead. Bond manager Jeffrey Gundlach says he's already tried to meet with Elon Musk to persuade him to take the battery-only route. Speaking to Bloomberg, he said Tesla could be 'wildly transformational' in the same way electricity and electromagnets were at the advent of their discovery. Enough people are interested in Tesla's vehicles that Musk probably won't take Gundlach's advice. Should he?"

About the Author
by Shauna - reviewed on February 14, 2013
What a FUN concept to bring in modern-day Facebook and texting into an age-old classical fairytale :) This book is filled with romance, adventure, mystery and I am adding humor... My favorite part is when Fane is trying to figure out what name the initial RG comes from...And not seeing a picture of her he asks... "Are you hot?" Rapunzel is baffled and wonders how he can figure out her name by the temperature of the room she is in... Yes...Rapunzel is so sheltered and Fab Fane has to explain EVERYTHING to her... BUT Rapuzel is a quick learner :) I really, really, really loved this book!
A Must Read!

Rapunzel Untangled is set in the modern world, with all our fabulous modern conveniences. But Rapunzel doesn't know about most of them because she's lived in a tower her whole life. She is one sick girl and can't go near anyone with germs or she'll die a horrible death. And so her mom keeps her locked up inside the spooky Gothel Mansion. Oh, and she still has this crazy long, beautiful hair that most women would kill for. The one modern convenience she does have is a computer so she can get her homework done. While her mom's away she stumbles upon Facebook and like any other normal teen she's soon stalking it. She comes across a handsome boy named Fane and starts up a conversation. This goes on for some time until they become fast friends. Because of this friendship, Rapunzel starts questioning everything around her and taking many risks to find out who she really is. And this is where the fairytale takes a dark and twisted turn. I won't say more except for this book is really good. Get your copy today. Serious. Right now.

I have to admit, Rapunzel happens to be one of my very favorite fairy tales, and Cindy C. Bennett's re-telling is just as good. I loved this book. I thought the characters were a perfect blend of wit and charm. The plot moved along at a great pace, and those who love a sweet story won't be disappointed. Very well done!

Cindy Bennett takes one of my favorite fairy tales and spins it into a modern story that really works. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think the cover is stunning. Perfect for the book.
Such a great fun read!

I received a copy of this book from Cindy Bennett a while back to do an endorsement for the back cover. I really didn't know what to expect when I picked it up. I knew it was a retelling of a fairytale and I knew I sure love the Rapunzel story so I figured it would be a light fun read and an overall enjoyable experience. Uh, hello? Complete understatement! This book was fabulous. I don't know what I expected but it totally went above and beyond my expectations. It was a modern retelling of the Rapunzel story and it seems like that wouldn't really throw you for a loop but there are so many twists and turns in this book that I wasn't expecting. It had romance (which I'm a sucker for), adventure, humor, and suspense. It was like reading the best of fifteen different genres all rolled into one perfect little Young Adult package! The characters were sweet and endearing, Rapunzel was charming and easy to like, and I may or may not have a slight crush on Fane now. Just don't tell anyone. I loved Cindy's use of technology to really update this fairytale. It made it very different from any "typical fairytale retelling". It was fresh and very original. I give this book five stars! It's totally worth the read and you'll fall in love with the characters straight away!
For anyone who loves a good fairy-tale...
by Heather - reviewed on February 08, 2013
"Rapunzel Untangled" is everything you'd want from a modern fairy-tale retelling: smart, funny, romantic, and true to the spirit of the original story. Ms. Bennett has created a strong heroine that you'll fall in love with right from the first page, and her dashing hero is absolutely charming. Received an ARC copy from Cindy, and absolutely fell in love with Rapunzel. The plot is intriguing, suspenseful, and sometimes dark, but interspersed with laugh-out-loud humor and heartwarming moments that make this a great read for anyone who loves a good fairy-tale. You won't want to stop reading until you reach the last paragraph—and then you'll slow down, because you won't want the story to end.
Great fun read
by Sherry - reviewed on February 12, 2013
I'll confess right off, I' m a Bennett groupie. The woman is a wordsmith of the utmost. I have little doubt she could make scrubbing toilets sound like great fun, (think Tom Sawyer). Rapunzel is captivating from page one. This Rapunzel is held in a tower by her evil (aka diluted) "mother." I LOVED the modern elements brought into this age old story. Rapunzel's adventures on Facebook are enchanting. Her innocents is both charming and endearing. She meets an enjoyable young man, a bit of an adventurist named Fane. He introduces Rapunzel to the real world without taking advantage of her. He's also quite the charmer. I confess, I have a little bit of a book crush on the guy…if only I was younger…and a character in a book…sigh. Gothel, Rapunzel's "mother," is truly hate worthy. I didn't care for her one wit. Not because the character was poorly written, quite the contrary, she's masterfully written, which testifies again to Ms. Bennett's talent. She writes one creepo lady in this one! Rapunzel Untangled is the fun, exciting, and sometimes frightening adventure of 17-year-old Rapunzel, the sleeping beauty who awakens and discovers the truth about her life. I recommend this novel to old and young alike, though I would point out that you should never hook up with a stranger off the internet unless your name is Rapunzel and his is Fane ;} I give Rapunzel Untangled 5 thumbs up.
A fabulous new breath of life to an old favorite

Rapunzel Untangled will change everything you ever thought you knew about the flaxen haired girl trapped in her tower. Exciting and fresh, I was hooked right from the get go.

No Peace Amongst the Stars
Announcing The Jericho Reach, an upcoming Deathwatch supplement |
Deathwatch | Published 11 November 2011 |
"There is no peace to be had amongst the stars. The sum total of human endeavour must be bent towards the singular goal of survival, and to falter in this task for even a moment is to court the extinction of mankind. We cannot permit laxity or negligence of any kind, for it is the duty of every man and woman in the Imperium to lend their every effort to the matter of survival."
–Confessor Corvinus
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of The Jericho Reach, a supplement for Deathwatch! This comprehensive tome provides in-depth information on the struggles of Kill-teams currently operating throughout the Reach. Each chapter delves into detail on the personalities, planets, and themes of a specific salient, while providing players and Game Masters alike with important resources for integrating the setting more deeply into their campaigns.
What's more, The Jericho Reach includes a full adventure. When Watch Fortress Erioch receives an astropathic distress signal from deep inside a Tyranid-infested planet, the Kill-team is immediately dispatched to investigate. Now, they must fight their way through monstrous adversaries while working to uncover the source of the strange message. But can they solve the mysteries of this war-ravaged world in time?
A word from the Watch Captain
For more on The Jericho Reach, Deathwatch's developer agreed to share his insights:
For nearly half a century, the Achilus Crusade has raged through the Jericho Reach, forging a new Imperial sector from the ashes. But now, the Crusade has faltered; the devouring Tyranids, cunning Tau, and fiendish armies of Chaos have proved a worthy match, and the Crusade teeters upon the brink of disaster. Only the Space Marines of Watch Fortress Erioch, whose treacherous missions bring them to every corner of the Reach, can hold back the tide of xenos threats.
Earlier this year, The Achilus Assault took an in depth look at the Achilus Crusade and the history of the Imperium's epic struggle to bring the light of the Emperor back to the stars of the Jericho Reach. Today, the Deathwatch team is proud to announce The Jericho Reach, a new sourcebook for the Deathwatch line that delves into the current struggles of the Space Marines of Watch Fortress Erioch against the xenos that threaten the Reach from all sides.
In this latest addition to the Deathwatch line, detailed descriptions of planets, personalities, and adversaries from all corners of the Reach allow GMs and players to embark on deadlier and more diverse missions than ever before. Secretly aid the armies on Khazant by performing surgical strikes into the heart of the enemy territory, combat the insidious Tau on their worlds beyond the Greyhell front, and face off against some of the largest beasts of the Tyranid swarm.
Additionally, as Kill-teams fight against the many xenos that threaten the Imperium, they learn their tactics and strategies, and become even more efficient at hunting them down. The Jericho Reach presents a myriad of new abilities for Battle-Brothers to gain as they learn from conquering their foes. Powerful new solo modes, squad modes, oaths, and demeanours all become available as the Kill-team completes missions against specific adversaries.
Look for The Jericho Reach on store shelves early next year, and save the Imperium from the xenos threat!
Deathwatch is a roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of the bio-engineered super-soldiers known as Space Marines. United with their battle-brothers, players will complete extraordinary missions involving some of the greatest heroes and deadliest opponents the Warhammer 40,000 universe has to offer.
I must say I am surprised and impressed. Though the order of releases is debatable - this book should have been released right after Rites of Battle - the strategy behind it is not. Very neat. Definite buy.
Thanks for the clarification, I think that was necessary to understand the difference. I don't think the text conveyed that properly.
Definitely looking forward to this. My RT campaign doesn't really have a great deal of focus on Jericho, though that will start to change in the future as the players really take up the mantle of the Haarlocks and complete the Legacy campaign.
After that, where they go is up to themselves, but the Reach certainly has many, many opportunities for the militant trader and this book will only add more.
Absolutely right Nathan. I, personally, am not exaggerating when I say this is the best book in the DW range. Page after page after page of just wonderful new stuff, both from a fluff perspective and a rules perspective.
But to attempt to answer AK's first question:
1. How does this book differ from the Achilus Assault? I don't think that this is entirely clear in spite of the text.
It's different because it's focus is the Deathwatch. The Achilus Assault was a world-building book that got us up to speed, described the foundations of the Crusade in the Reach as well as its history, personalities, adversaries and the current goings on from a high-level broad brush strokes level. This book looks at the Reach from the point of view of the Deathwatch itself. That's why this book is so important to the Deathwatch product line. The Achilus Assault, as good as it is, just introduced us to the Reach and how things operate. The Jericho Reach goes on step further by showing us how the Deathwatch interact with the Reach.
A good book, this - lots of content, delving into the war-torn present-day of the Jericho Reach from the perspective of Astartes forces, and the Deathwatch in particular, in the Reach. A GM with this book won't be lacking for plot hooks and locations for his campaign...
Hi Ak-73: I say give 'em the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it'll start as another bughunt but end up as something else entirely...
This s.h.o.u.l.d. have been published first of a.l.l. the supplements. I'm thinking of calling Deathwatch "The Backwards Planning Game".
I had longed for something like this for a very long time... for the Calixis Sector. *sad sad me*
Well, perhaps some of it is "stealable".
Okay, two questions/remarks from a customer perspective:
1. How does this book differ from the Achilus Assault? I don't think that this is entirely clear in spite of the text.
2. Another Tyranid mission? Really? I'm not going to post spoilers but let's just say that Tyranids have made an appearance quite frequently in DW products. I understand they are the major xenos threat in the reach but it's getting old already.
Anyway, looking forward to it already.
Oh, this book is going to be perfect for any ongoing stuff I will use.
Hell yes! Best Deathwatch book in the range, bar none. I cannot wait for this to come out!!! Super-excited about this one... and I never say things like 'super-excited', so that tells you how pumped I am for this book.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Might be interesting.

- Hits: 2937
The Vichy Vol. Fire Dept.'s Annual Old-Fashioned Pie Supper and Cake Walk is at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 8 at the Vichy Firehouse and Community Hall. The event will include the pie auction, cake walks, music and contests. Food and refreshments will also be available, beginning at 5 p.m.
Music, provided by Harold Rowden and friends will begin the evening's events at 6 p.m. The pie auction will begin around 6:30 p.m. with local auctioneers auctioning off pies, cakes, baskets and other gifts. Donations for the auction are welcomed and needed as are generous bidders.
A children's cake walk will be held during the auction, and the regular cake walk with begin after the pie auction. Harold Rowden and Friends will continue to play after the pie auction and contests.
The pie supper will also be the site of the sixth annual election for the Mayor of Vichy. Campaign posters will be on display at the Bank of Vichy and the Vichy Post Office.
Voting containers (collection cans) will also be on display at the Bank of Vichy. Area residents can cast their money votes in the collection containers at the bank.

I am the documentation project coordinator for the Apache Xalan Projects. My current focus is on the Xalan-C++ V1.11 documentation, preparing for a release. I am also helping to create a consistent look and feel for the entire Xalan web pages.
I monitor the Apache Xalan discussion groups and review all comments. Post your comments to the developer's mail list email@example.com. This is a moderated list. You can subscribe to the list if you wish your posts not to be delayed.

The Apache XALAN project now has an Apache Wiki [http://wiki.apache.org/xalan] that can be used by committers to share information that is useful for project coordination.
As the WIKI administrator, I monitor the developer's mail list [firstname.lastname@example.com].
Our official Apache XALAN website is [http://xalan.apache.org].
My XALAN staging website is [here].
The Apache XALAN project has moved away from the parent Apache XML project. The Apache XML is now retired. Our old Xalan C and Xalan Java distributions are still available on the Apache XML distribution mirror.
Old XML Xalan C Distributions | http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-c |
Old XML Xalan C Documentation | http://xalan.apache.org/old/xalan-c |
Old XML Xalan Java Distributions | http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-j |
Old XML Xalan Java Documentation | http://xalan.apache.org/old/xalan-j |
The old XML Xalan documentation pages have most of the necessary links fixed. The links should now resolve to reachable sites and resources.
The Google Summer of Code 2012 has come to completion. The student code is in a subversion repository. The base functions for XML DateTime data is complete. It is ready to be packaged as EXSLT XPath functions for the Xalan-C/C++ project. The subversion branch can be built with Microsoft Windows Visual Studio 2010.
After the official release of Xalan-C/C++ version 1.11 has been distributed, we will incorporate the new EXSLT XPath functions into the subversion trunk.
The Apache XALAN project pages have had a face lift. The TLP website is now published using the Apache "svnpubsub" architecture. Authorized committers can make changes by committing changes to the (svn)/xalan/site/docs/xalan/ tree.
The StyleBook XML tools used for our Apache TLP and subprojects is saved at (svn)/xalan/site/stylebook/.
StyleBook markup for XALAN TLP is found at (svn)/xalan/site/xdocs/.
StyleBook markup for XALAN C is found at (svn)/xalan/c/trunk/xdocs/.
StyleBook markup for XALAN Java is found at (svn)/xalan/java/trunk/xdocs/.
We no longer use the deprecated Apache StyleBook java program for creating web pages. This program was used to build the Apache XML project pages. We now use a standard XSLT transformation stylesheet to perform the same activity with a cleaner output.
Please let us know of broken links - there are many. Describe any content you feel needs to be added or removed from these pages.
As the coordinator for the Xalan documentation project, I can make the changes and update these pages. Other committers can also make changes as needed.
I have not yet tried to perform ICU library builds. Maybe someone can try the ICU builds and submit their scripts.
The home for IBM-ICU (International Components for Unicode) has moved to its own development arena located at [http://icu-project.org].
The OspXpath.zip file contains a number of custom XPath extensions I have written for Xalan-C, and an exslt.exe executable that installs and tests the functions. Since the code is a mixture of both 'C' and C++ languages, these functions are not yet appropriate to include in the Xalan-C distribution.
Here is a library that prototypes several XPath extension functions and documents the memory management issues when using both C and C++ in your development. The biggest issue is keeping track of the various memory management domains.
The date processor is not thread-safe. The cvdate() function accepts many different types of formats for dates. Heuristics analysis attempts to determine the month, day, and year components. If the year component is 2-digits, then a floating year window is used to determine the century. The current date for the floating window is obtained from the system clock. The output string is formatted according to a wide variety of common date presentation types. The cvdate() function is not locale specific.
Another XPath extension library implements a virtual key-value database on an arbitrary number of named tables. The database is loaded by stylesheets and kept as linked lists in memory. A well-used 'C' library for linked lists is found in this OspXpath.zip file.
I hope this code is useful. It is committed to the public domain without copyright or license encumbrance. It can be used in any application so long as the code remains open-source and freely available. It can be re-licensed with any open-source license without attribution.

Seven Bridges Road
From Zenith: A Postcard Perspective of Historic Duluth, copyright © 2005, Zenith City Press, Duluth, Minnesota
Back in 1899, Sam Snively had an idea while strolling through his four hundred-acre spread near Hawk Ridge and Lester Park: a roadway to rival any other found in the city. He donated sixty acres of his own, then convinced his neighbors to donate land or provide rights-of-way for his vision. He even raised some cash. Although Snively had originally wanted his road, which would take thirty years to complete, to be called Spring Garden Boulevard, it became known as Snively Road. It has long been called Seven Bridges Road, but that name is somewhat misleading. In 1910 the road became the property of the Park Board, which hired a landscape architect to draw up plans which included blueprints for ten stone-arch bridges to replace the ten wooden spans Snively and his crew had built, but in the end only nine were necessary. Plans also included connecting the road to Rogers Boulevard (later Skyline Parkway), which pleased Snively to no end. When it reopened in 1912, it was named Amity Parkway for the creek its bridges crossed nine times.
Today, the road technically has seven bridges, although from Superior Street to Skyline travelers cross eight. Two of the original nine were abandoned when Skyline Parkway was completed, and a newer bridge near Superior Street is not considered part of Mr. Snively's road. The bridges, damaged by misuse and neglect, were restored in the 1990s.
For a more complete history of Seven Bridges Road, see Mark Ryan's website on the history of Skyline Parkway & Seven Bridge's Road: www.amitycreek.com.

Unless you're one of the other teams still in the Coastal division race, any ACC fan should be rooting for Miami the rest of the way. And yet, as we discussed earlier on the site, the Hurricanes may very well be staying home anyway. Beyond the Coastal, however, it's now of the utmost importance that the best teams simply keep winning. The conference has obviously taken a lot of body blows throughout this season. The last thing we need is to lose our chances at two BCS bids, and/or send a 6-6 team to the ACC Championship Game. Of course, things are never all that predictable in this league, now are they?
Game of the Week
Florida State Seminoles (8-1) (5-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (4-5) (2-3): FSU has a huge opportunity here, not only to put themselves on the cusp of winning the Atlantic division, but also to bury the Hokies' season. Based on how things have been going for both squads, it appears likely we'll see a Seminoles win. Florida State has held three different FBS opponents (all in-conference) to seven points or less, while also only allowing 20 points or more twice (both wins). Unfortunately for Virginia Tech, they haven't scored more than 17 points since mid-October and the offense has only managed about 25 points per contest in eight games against FBS competition (three wins, five losses). And then there's that offensive line. As feared in preseason, they've struggled, and actually, may be getting worse as the year wears on. There's little hope they'll be able to hold off Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine for very long, creating yet another frustrating Thursday night for Logan Thomas. Prediction: Florida State 36, Virginia Tech 20
The Rest of the Slate (in order of start time):
Pittsburgh Panthers (4-5) at Connecticut Huskies (3-6): Both teams are playing for their postseason lives this Friday, so don't read too much into the Huskies' recent four-game losing streak. UConn is well aware of what's at stake, and will be performing accordingly. What Pitt needs to do to combat this is simply bury last week's disappointment, and finish the job this time around. Against Notre Dame, the Panthers played well above their level, but ultimately fell short. What could frighten Pitt fans about this matchup, however, is the letdown potential. Pitt is notorious for playing down to opponents, and UConn could certainly qualify. While the Husky defense has performed impressively for the most part (18.6 points per game), they've also only scored 16.6 per game (120th in FBS). As always, the game plan for Pittsburgh is to just run the ball effectively and make opponents commit their own mistakes. Prediction: Pitt 27, UConn 17

Soundscape Project to blur lines between art and science
What do you get when you combine students working with environment studies, engineering science and theatre arts? The answer is the "Soundscape Project" which is an original dance piece showcasing the sounds of natural soundscapes.
For the Fall Dance Concert 2013, the SSU Department of Theatre Arts and Dance will present unique, new dance works along with original music. Funded in part through the Green Music Center's Academic Integration Grant and the Sonoma County Community Foundation Grant, the "Soundscape Project" uses the environment of sounds that were recorded at the Fairfield Osborn Preserve, which is a nature reserve located on Sonoma Mountain that spans over 400 acres.
Dr. Bernie Krause, a bioacoustics expert, provided training to students within the Environmental Studies and Planning department to record a wide range of natural and man-made sounds found on the preserve. Using handheld recorders, students recorded sounds between May and June to sample biophonic, geophonic and anthrophonic sounds. Sounds were also captured at coastal areas and the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve.
Engineering students then archived and edited the recordings into a sound library from which composer Jesse Olsen Bay created an original score. Bay is a local Bay Area composer who has done work for numerous dance companies and is also on staff at SSU.
Christine Cali, an instructor and Bay Area choreographer, Kristen Daley, the director of the dance program, along with SSU dance students, used Bay's score as inspiration for the interpretive performance which uses the changing ecology of Sonoma County, video and acoustic recordings to create a merger of art and science.
"The idea started with Claudia Luke, the SSU Preserve Director," said Daley. "She had this great idea about interplay between art and science."
This is the first year of the academic integration grant. Luke consulted with Dr. Krause before writing the grant that would combine biology, engineering, arts and dance.
"We created this performance that reflected the place and the sounds to try and connect to the soundscapes," added Daley.
The Fall Dance Concert is comprised of two additional works along with the "Soundscape Project". "Crumble," is an original piece choreographed by Rogelio Lopez that explores how a person can overcome personal challenges and emotional crisis with the help of family and friends. The music is by Janis Brenner, Theo Bleckman, Meredith Monk and Iva Bittova.
"It's a Movement," is a piece choreographed by Risa Jaroslow, with dancers, which explore the development of movement. The music is by Robert Een and Steve Reich.
The Fall Dance Concert will be held at the Evert B. Person Theatre on the SSU campus with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov 21, Friday, Nov 22 and Saturday, Nov 23 along with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov 24. Tickets prices are $10 to $17 and available at the SSU Box Office at 664-4246.
Additionally there will be a free encore performance of the "Soundscape Project" on Friday, Dec 6 at 12 p.m. in Weill Hall of the Green Music Center.

My 2011 homegrown grape wines are wonderful- I don't seem to have a bad bottle- made way to much to drink or give as gifts. I want to make some grape wine jelly for holiday gifting. I'm wondering if anyone knows about the alcohol content of wine jelly. Does most of the alcohol cook out during the jelly making process (like adding a bit of wine to a food as it is cooked)?? I know people will want to know if it still contains alot of alcohol and if it's OK for kids to enjoy some as well. I know the wine flavor will be wonderful just don't know about the alcohol levels. I welcome any comments & advice. Thank you! |

As captain of the finish line, Dipsea volunteer Kelly Lawson has a chance to see plenty of drama as runners come to the end of the race at Stinson Beach. But she can take particular pleasure in watching one of those runners — her son, John.
Recent Drake grad John Lawson, coming off a second-place finish in the 3,200 meters in the California high school state meet, will make his sixth appearance in the Dipsea. In 2011, he placed 16th overall. This year, he will be a leading contender for top high school runner honors despite running on short rest: He was scheduled to arrive home from Eugene, Ore., sometime after midnight on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
"It's going to be interesting," Kelly Lawson said. "I have no idea how he's going to do. We never take the race for granted. It's all about starting and finishing and making that whole race loop complete. Being in that critical spot of watching everyone try to get to that straightaway to the finish line is always fun. And we never take the race for granted. "... We're just thrilled that Johnny's going to be back on the track."
Head starters
If all of the registered entrants for the 103rd edition of the Dipsea show up on Sunday morning, the first group to take off — 25 minutes ahead of the final group that will leave the start line — will include 45 runners ranging in age from 7 to 83.
Absent from that group, however, is Dipsea veteran/local celebrity Elmo Shropshire of Novato.
Shropshire, who gained fame with the 1979 release "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," sung by the duo Elmo and Patsy, is bothered by a calf injury and will miss the race due to injury for the second year in a row.
"It's a recurring injury," said Shropshire, 76, who finished in the top 400 in the 2011 Dipsea. "I haven't allowed it to rest enough to heal. I'm feeling fine, but every time it gets better, something happens. "... But I'm hell bent to give it another try next year."
Scholarship winners
John Lawson, his sister Summer Lawson, Sonoma Academy's Jax Reiff and Justin-Siena's Liam Vlaming were named winners of the Dipsea Race Foundation scholarships at the Dipsea Foundation dinner on Friday night in Mill Valley. The $5,000 awards go to graduating high school seniors who have participated in or volunteer for the race and who will be attending college in the fall. They were chosen from a group of 18 applicants, all of whom had high school grade-point averages of 3.67 or higher.
John Lawson, Reiff and Vlaming all are registered to run in the Dipsea on Sunday. Summer Lawson will work as a volunteer at the race.
Comeback trail
Mill Valley's Mark McManus, who had the Dipsea's fastest base time in 2006-08, will not be part of the 2013 field but hopes to return next year after undergoing surgery on both feet.
"I was out for nine months — I had my right foot surgery in July and my left foot surgery in November — and it's about a year recovery," McManus said recently. "I started running about a month ago and my whole goal is to be ready for Dipsea 2014. I'll be back; I love the race. I have new feet and I'm just getting started in the race."
Et cetera
Sharon Fox, who paid tribute to longtime Dipsea participant Tony Stratta with a photo display and custom T-shirts which she distributed to family and friends on Friday, won a spot in the Dipsea with a $600 bid during the auction at the Dipsea dinner. Stratta, who raced in the Dipsea 59 times, died in March at age 82.
The 2013 Dipsea field includes runners from 28 states and Washington, D.C., and also drew entrants from Puerto Rico, Canada, Great Britain and Switzerland.
Eight of the past 10 Dipsea champions are entered in the race this year, including the past five in Hans Schmid, Jamie Rivers, Reilly Johnson, Brian Pilcher and Roy Rivers.
