Amazon gives us the first big cloud, but the major labels want to take it away
On Tuesday, Amazon surprised everyone by introducing Amazon Cloud Drive. Everyone was literally surprised, including the record labels, consumers, journalists -- nobody had a clue this was coming. In case you've missed it, Amazon Cloud Drive is an online file locker where you can store your files, including your audio files and access them anywhere.
It was just last week we got a glimpse at some of the ideas being presented to the president regarding copyright law, among those ideas, making illegal streaming music a felony.
Why does that matter? Well, er, according some labels, Amazon's new service might be doing just that. Before we start looking at the arguments from the major labels against Amazon, let's first remember one key facet of music ownership: You don't own your music. You're licensing it for private use. You can't do whatever you want with it.
So, the possible impending legal battle between Amazon and the labels is uncharted territory and has the potential to be a pretty big deal.
First off, let's look at the actual service. Amazon technically launched two services, Cloud Drive and Cloud Player. Basically, you upload your music library to Cloud Drive for a fee (5 GB are free to everyone, and the price goes up from there -- but it's surprising affordable as long as you don't have 1 TB of music). After downloading some special software, you'll be able to start uploading your music to the cloud. Depending on the size of your library, this could take a very large chunk of time (in our case, 95 hours, 10 minutes).
Once it's online, you'll have access to your library on any computer with an internet connection and a web browser. If you have an Android phone, you'll have it there, too (iPhone users are presently out of luck). It's a pretty straightforward interface on a computer and a service that should be immensely helpful to anyone bouncing between a work and home computer. It all works well, and although most cell networks in Denver won't give you a good enough connection to stream your music seamlessly, it's still better than having nothing at all.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fiona!
Facts about Fiona
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Fiona's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Fiona is a one year old Chihuahua that is as cute as a button and super affectionate. Fiona is one sweet cookie!! She loves to be held and will be your shadow. Fiona is timid of sudden movements and loud voices so needs a bit of patience - but you will be rewarded with lots of kisses! She is not comfortable walking on a leash; her foster parents have been working with her, but would do best in a home with a fenced yard for potty breaks. She is good with other dogs and cats, even big dogs do not faze her! If you would like to meet Fiona, please complete an application at www.henricohumane.org.
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fiona, a Richmond Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Skin Care Cosmetic Products Q&A | Ask a Specialist about Skin Care Cosmetic Products
How do skin care and cosmetic products help prolong the effects of cosmetic treatments? Once you have invested time and money into improving your appearance through cosmetic and rejuvenation procedures, you'll want to invest a little more in products and treatments to prolong the results you've achieved. One of the best ways of maintaining results is through the use of special moisturizers, sunscreens, and even makeup products that can keep skin healthy and firm longer. One of the primary causes of damage to the skin's structure and appearance is the harmful rays of the sun. Products designed to help maintain the results of your procedures also act to block these rays, and may include sunscreen, as well as moisturizers, toners, makeup, and other skin care products that contain sun-blocking agents. Special moisturizing agents, when used on a regular and consistent basis, can also help you maintain your youthful, firmer appearance by keeping skin plumped and full. These products also help reduce or eliminate the damaging effects that can be caused by over-drying, keeping skin supple. Many products contain agents specifically designed to fight free radicals, agents that can cause skin to age prematurely. Because there are so many products available today on the market, consulting with a cosmetic specialist is an excellent first step to determining the types of products that will best suit your individual needs, skin type, and health profile. Because skin's requirements vary during the course of the aging process, your specialist can also help identify which products have been designed specifically to treat men and women in your age group. What types of skin care products help rejuvenate skin? Rejuvenated skin is skin which appears plump, fresh, and vital, and today there are a number of products on the market which can help you achieve that goal without surgery. These include products that help slough away old, dead skin cells, as well as products which help skin tap and retain moisture. Exfoliating products, including masks and scrubs, are among the more popular products for removing dull skin and revealing new, fresh skin beneath. Many scrubs contain sea salt and other natural products to gently but effectively slough off dead skin while preserving the natural balance of your skin's pH. Moisturizers, toners, and other creams and lotions on the market today can actually help your skin attract and retain moisture, helping skin appear firmer and more youthful. A trained skin care specialist can help you choose the products which are best suited to your skin type, as well as to your age. What are cosmetic enhancement products? Cosmetic enhancement products are designed specifically to improve natural features through specially designed formulations that can plump lips and skin, diminish the appearance of lines and age-related damage, improve skin's natural texture and tone, and even out skin tones. When used under the recommendation and guidance of a cosmetic specialist, these products can achieve remarkable results in many men and women, without the cost and other side effects of more intensive, traditional procedures.

Apparently they're filled with the same cranky insecurities as we are, if you're to believe the critters of Creature Comforts, Nick Park's Oscar-winning claymation short. Far less refined than Wallace and Gromit or Chicken Run, two other gems from the gents of Britain's Aardman Animations, Comforts unspools from the vantage point of an interviewer quizzing zoo ''inmates'' about their living conditions. The answers recorded during sessions with, among others, an exchange student living in a dorm and a nursing-home resident are as somber as they are funny. Also on this DVD are three other shorts the Oscar-nominated Wat's Pig; the afterlife odyssey Not Without My Handbag; and the existential Adam but if you're tempted to buy this disc, it's Comforts that'll push you over the edge. Even though the DVD doesn't include any goodies, and the short is only five minutes long, you'll be happy you shelled out the 10 bucks. B+

Hi guys,
I've never worked with earthenware outside of supervised high school art class so I'm really dumbfounded here and appreciate your expertise. My cat passed recently and my family got her paw-print indented in polymer clay to serve as a memento. I was thinking of putting her metal nametag (steel, I believe) in the clay. I recall my teacher warned us against firing pottery with metal since it would shatter from the temperature difference but that was with really high temperatures in a big intimidating kiln; the instructions for the pawprint kit says we only need to fire it at 275 degrees fahrenheit. Is there a way I can safely inset the metal nametag? Thanks for your time! |
Follow-Up Postings:
When you talk of firing are you talking about putting it in the oven? or a kiln? Polymer clay goes into your regular oven. The metal nametag, might not stick to well, but after you do the piece the way you want it, with the metal in it, you could always use E-6000 glue, that will hold it in place. |
earthenware and polymer clay are completely different things. Polymer clay isn't fired, it's just baked at low temperature in a regular oven. It's not actually clay either, it's made of resins and plasticizers Polymer. clay will do fine with the metal. As ladonna stated it may not stick to the clay, but can easily be glued after baking. I think this sounds like a lovely way to commemorate your kitty. |

I've supported Rodgers all season, and I still believe in his overall strategy to move the club forward, but that doesn't mean he's above criticism, and last night, his decisions arguably handed the initiative to West Brom and ultimately cost Liverpool the game.
1. Starting Shelvey in an advanced role
I just can't see the logic in starting Shelvey in an advanced attacking role and leaving dedicated attackers like Fabio Borini and Raheem Sterling on the bench. It makes no sense whatsoever. Shelvey is not a striker or a number 10, and he rarely plays that role for Liverpool. Why not just go with aces in their places? Why change the shape of an effective team?
With Sturridge out, the lack of pace in attack needed to be addressed, and Sterling would've been the obvious option. Indeed, given his lack of playing time recently, he's fresh and rested, and would've been the ideal option. Having Shelvey on the field meant Liverpool started with four central midfielders. AT HOME. Why is this necessary? It affects the balance of the team, especially with the 20-year old roaming around the pitch unsure of his role.
On top of everything else, it can't make Borini feel too good to see a central midfielder preferred to him up front. What kind of man-management is this? How is this conducive to building morale in the ranks? Why spend £12m on a a striker if you're going to play a central midfielder in his place?!
Granted, Borini has flattered to deceive since arriving at Anfield, but playing a dedicated attacking player in the front three is surely a better option than putting a square peg in a round hole. To be clear, I'm not attacking Shelvey here - it's not his fault Rodgers played him out of position.
2. Taking off Jordan Henderson
This has to go down as one of the most catastrophic decisions of the season. The mind boggles as to why Rodgers made this choice. West Brom are a physically imposing team, and along with Lucas, Henderson did a great job of blocking the baggies off in midfield. With Liverpool - and Gerrard - pushing forward, the extra insurance and physical presence was necessary, and taking off Henderson basically handed the game to West Brom. Space opened up in midfield, and West Brom exploited this on several occasions, most notably in the build up to Lukaku's killer goal.
3. Taking off Stewart Downing
Another inexplicable decision. I'm not the biggest fan of Downing but he's playing well at the moment, and he was arguably Liverpool's best player on the night. Like Henderson, Downing is a physical presence on the field, and replacing him with the lightweight, inexperienced Coutinho was (IMO) the wrong choice. While it's great to see the Brazilian get his debut, why take off the team's most effective player on the night to accommodate him? Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding: West Brom scored twice when Henderson, Downing and Shelvey went off. Coincidence? Perhaps, but then again, maybe not.
4. Making the team lightweight
Rodgers' substitutions achieved nothing except handing West Brom the physical initiative. Out went three physically strong players (Henderson, Downing and Shelvey), and in came three physically lightweight players (Coutinho, Borini and Sterling). In my view, this weakened the team significantly, and inexorably led to West Brom gaining the upper hand.
5. Praising the players in defeat
After the game, Rodgers once again praised the players for losing. He stated that he 'can't fault' them; that they were 'outstanding' etc. How can he not fault the players?! LIVERPOOL LOST 2-0 AT ANFIELD to West Brom (!). Irrespective of the merits of the performance, that is an unacceptable result for a team supposedly challenging for the top four. Shots on goals and possession stats don't matter: the team lost, and to add insult to injury, Rodgers once again sent the clear message that losing at Anfield is okay.
I've been highlighting Rodgers' gross overpraise of the team all season, and I'm sure many of the fans who castigated me for doing so are now beginning to tire of his post-match press conferences. Praising players after such an abject defeat is an insult to the fans, especially those who paid £50+ for match tickets.
Additionally, the constant overpraise breeds complacency. Why would players bust a gut to improve/play better when they know that they'll be given a pass for losing? The likes of Agger, Enrique and Johnson put in shockingly bad performances, yet Rodgers can't fault them?! Conversely, he's more than happy to excoriate the club's young players in public.
Disgraceful double-standards. With his constant gross overpraise, Rodgers has dulled the team's winning mentality, and created a situation where senior players are perpetually in the comfort zone.
I support Rodgers, but he is his own worst enemy, and if his reign at Anfield comes to an abrupt end in the summer, he'll only have himself to blame.

THE GRATEFUL DEAD'S Mickey Hart thinks a woman playing a drum is about the sexiest thing imaginable. So no wonder he looked like a rhythm devil in heaven one night this week as he shared the stage at the Rafael Film Center with four extraordinary women drummers from Rwanda, the Eastern African country in the process of healing from the ineffable horrors of the 1994 genocide that tore at its heart and soul.
Hart's jam session with a quartet from Rwanda's Ingoma Nshya (Women's Initiative) followed a California Film Institute members screening of "Sweet Dreams," an inspiring documentary about a courageous group of Rwandan women who came together after the slaughter to form their country's first all-female drumming troupe and its first ice cream shop, Inzozi Nziza (Sweet Dreams). By popular demand, "Sweet Dreams" will have a one-time public screening in Marin at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Rafael.
The women of Ingoma Nshya, a co-op of more than 40 members at the moment, come from both sides of the government-instigated genocide, when members of the majority Hutu tribe were goaded into murdering an estimated 800,000 of their friends, neighbors and even family members, most of them minority Tutsis, in the space of 100 days.
Marta, one of the women drummers at the Rafael who is also profiled in the documentary, is a Hutu whose Tutsi husband was killed in the early days of the carnage. During a Q&A session after the screening, an audience member complimented her on her radiant smile, a gladness that performing brings to her despite all that has happened to her and her homeland.
The documentary also focuses on the back stories of troupe members like Regine, a Tutsi whose parents are in prison for murdering Hutus, and Seraphine, who was 8 when she saw her entire family slaughtered.
One of the more disturbing scenes in the film comes during a national month of mourning gathering in a sports stadium, when the wails of grieving Tutsi women nearly drown out a moving speech of reconciliation by current Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
"The horror of being killed and raped and jailed, how can you work your way out of something like that?" Hart asked me at a reception after the screening, then answered his own question. "It would take powerful medicine, and deep drums are powerful medicine."
Odile "Kiki" Katese, associate director of the National University of Rwanda Centre for the Arts and Drama, had that powerful medicine. Women had not been allowed to even touch drums in the past. She started the country's first female drumming troupe in 2005, and later the ice cream co-op, as islands of healing and reconciliation. All she asks of the women who come to her is that they leave their pasts behind when they walk through the door.
"Whatever happened before, we don't want to know," is how she put it.
At the reception, I asked her if her efforts are working, if the performing arts and a business cooperative are able to even begin to heal people who have been so traumatized that some of them guiltily think of themselves as "those whom death refused," according to the British pacifist organization Peace Pledge Union.
"This is my hope," she said. "I hope that those spaces allow us to rebuild ourselves, to reconnect with small feelings of joy and fun, of hope and faith."
The idea for both the ice cream shop and the documentary were born in 2009, when Katese, a playwright, was invited to the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab in Utah. While there, she met Jennie Dundas, an actor who is also a co-founder of the Blue Marble ice cream shop in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Intrigued by the fledgling ice cream business, Katese asked Dundas and her partner, Alexis Miesen, if they would help her open the first ever ice cream shop in Rwanda. They agreed, and began raising the $80,000 seed money to get it started.
When Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lisa Fruchtman, who was advising aspiring filmmakers at the institute, heard about the evolving project, she was so drawn to its uplifting subject that she enlisted her brother, New York-based documentary filmmaker Bob Fruchtman, to work with her in bringing this unlikely story to the screen.
"We filmed over the course of a year and a half, going to Rwanda four times, each time filming another facet of the story," Lisa Fruchtman told the Rafael audience. During the Q&A, Blue Marble's Alexis Miesen was asked if ice cream is catching on in Rwanda, and how the Sweet Dreams shop is faring.
"The cooperative is a living, breathing thing, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting," she said. "It's been three years now since we got started. We're learning a lot."
In addition to delving into the women's painful histories and documenting the times when internal tensions and the country's social and economic difficulties threatened the cohesion of the group, the Fruchtmans captured touching scenes of elation and transformation — the women's impromptu celebration when the balky ice cream machine finally produced its first sweet batch; the delight of Rwandans tasting ice cream for the first time; the colorfully costumed women dancing and drumming, their differences dissolved in the beauty of their art, their pain relieved by the life-affirming rhythms they were creating together.
"They speak the common language of the drum," Hart, author of "Drumming at the Edge of Magic" and "Planet Drum," said during our conversation after the screening. "You can do anything if you're in rhythm. The only thing that we, as humans, have in common is rhythm. These women decided, 'Let's create rhythm together,' and that is power."

It was truly one of the best hostels I've ever stayed it. Staff was incredibily helpful and friendly. The rooms were nice and cleaned every day. The only thing I might have missed was a bar, but then again the lobby featured as a great social gatheringplace. I would recommend this hostel to everyone.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Foot Loose!
Facts about Foot Loose
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Foot Loose's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Foot Loose
Born 10-2012 Brown Tabby Mitten DSH
Special Adoption Fee $75; kitten available the end of January...now February
Foot Loose and Fancy Free is this little guy's motto. This little kitten is a charmer. Just about as adorable as any kitten can be. He is a short-haired tabby with four white mitted feet and would be a wonderful addition to any feline household. He is playful and fun and super adorable. We don't know his genetic heritage, but if you are looking for just a super cute addition to your feline family, little Foot Loose is your kitten. He has very distinctive tabby markings and beautiful gold eyes. His foster mom is working on more pictures.
Footloose will come to you neutered, tested, vaccinated, and litterbox perfect. Foot Loose has a special adoption fee of $75, or his adoption fee is waived if he can go home with any of our kittens who has a standard adoption fee as a pair.
Contact Kathy at email@example.com. Foot Loose is fostered in Davis, CA.
Other Pets at Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Foot Loose, a Vacaville Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Vacaville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Vacaville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vacaville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vacaville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vacaville paves the way for another one to be saved.

These seeds for these pepper plants were found in a market in Barbados. The friend we sent them to me said they were called Bonnie or Bonny (I don't know which) peppers, but I cannot find any information on such a pepper. Any ideas? They are suposed to be hot peppers. Thank you. |

Those are gorgeous pods. Bonnie is definitely a slang term for scotch bonnet used in Jamaica and I'm sure Barbados too, (According to the book, Food Culture in the Caribbean). If you intend to save extra seeds for next year let me know, I'd love to trade. |

Be careful with those, Scotch Bonnets have a Scoville rating of 100,000 to 350,000. |

Thnk you for all your replies and Smokemaster, thanks for that splendid database. Of course I have it already stashed in my favourites. So yes, it is really Bonney pepper as they told her in the market in Barbados. Barefootgardener, these are not Scotch Bonnets. I have grown SB's for several years, have a few plants loaded right now, and the shape is completely different, and the way the pods are arranged is also different. Peppermeister, I will certainly be saving seeds for next year and will probably have enough for a trade. I use most of my hot peppers for hot pepper sauces of two main varieties. Others are pickled and used for general cooking and seasonings. I will make a note of your request and contact you when I'm ready to start trading. Some are already promised. Thanks for the warning Donn. You can never be too careful with these. |
Bonnie is also a nursery label from the sources of many peppers available at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Bonnie plants are common in our area of Minnesota. They will have the name of the pepper as well but they are grown at Bonnie nurseries. |
I have some that look the same with those big sized leaves at the bottom and the more pumpkin look. A guy today told me that he thought they were safi red scotch bonnet peppers. Mine came from the carribean as well, directly not bought seeds. What do yours taste like? |

Overall Experience
Over charged
January 23, 2015
Second time Crowne Plaza in Pali Alto charged my credit card unjustly and for something that shouldn't have been charged. Using a free night stay under IHG's rewards program as advertised yet I was charged a partial amount that upon call to Palo Alto Crowne Plaza they admitted it wasn't my responsibility. Their accounting/billing department has done this twice to me where my card was charged for something that shouldn't have been. Beyond frustrated with them by now and not to mention the next morning while showering I realized the tub was backing up and I had to finish showering in a gross water backed up tub! Second time lesson learned that Palo Alto Crowne Plaza needs a better billing person or system. Just to be fair I've stayed every weekend for over a year and half in the Milpitas Crowne Plaza and they are on point in all reservations and charges. Never had any billing mishaps or problems with Milpitas.
Clean Hotel and Comfortable Bed
January 22, 2015
The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Palo Alto, is a clean hotel, from the lobby, to the pool area, to the guest rooms. I was impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel.
The bed was comfortable, which made it difficult when it was time to check out.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
This hotel is close to many restaurants, many within walking distance.
I would, without a doubt, stay at this hotel again.
Great stay - a little pricey
January 12, 2015
I have stayed at the Crowne Plaza Cabana several times and enjoy it. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff is excellent. This is what keeps me a loyal customer to them.
The food is standard hotel fare, and reasonably priced. The menu is pretty limited, but what they do, they do well.
I need good wireless internet - and it has been flawless. The room cable service is also good.
Service Exceptional
January 10, 2015
Upon arrival at the hotel we were greeted by Crown Plaza's friendly and most helpful staff. Although we noticed some renovations taken place this did not interfere with our stay.
The property is well maintained and our room was very comfortable. We had a small problem with the heater in the living room area that was immediately taken care of by the friendly on-call maintenance staff. .
This hotel sets back off El Camino Real and is close to restaurants, shopping malls, Stanford University, Stanford Hospital and VA Palo Alto.
We had excellent service while dining but was served burned bacon and toast with a smile. If we had brought it to their attention this would have been taken care of however, it is very hard to complain when people are so nice. The restaurant manager was very kind and friendly and made our stay enjoyable..
We must say service was exceptional.and we plan to return to this hotel in the future.

William chuckled beside her. "I thought maybe you'd sleep through your whole Naming Ceremony little one." He leaned in close as she settled the baby back into her lap, laying his hand over the gold-embroidered symbol on their son's long green velvet gown.
In response, the infant yawned so fiercely that his whole little body shuddered, making both of them laugh. When he finished he blinked up at them, his gray eyes wide, and the sides of his tiny mouth edging almost into a… "Is he smiling?" she whispered.
William nodded. "You are, aren't you, mister? You know what today is." He slipped one arm behind her back, reaching for the baby's fingers with his other hand. "Today's the day we celebrate you."
She shifted so she was even closer to William, relishing the warmth of both his body and his words, although she was mindful of the fact that as soon as their carriage drove through the castle gate and into the city, hundreds of eyes would be on her.
As they grew closer to the crowd, he kept his hand right at the small of her back, gentle and reassuring in a way that made her feel strength flowing through his fingers and into her.
She heard them before she saw them, the throngs of people – her people – lining the streets of the city, cheering as the carriages came through, rising to a roar as Quinn and William appeared.
Despite her worst fears, the baby didn't cry at the noise, or even when a flower came through the open window, landing on her lap right near him.
Instead, when she held him up near her cheek where the crowd could see him, he flashed the grin he'd just been practicing.
"Little Show-Off," she cooed. "Six weeks old and already you're better at winning over your kingdom than I am."
Read More"What about Thomas?" Was it possible for a brain to explode?
"I … we … don't know where he is. Or at least nobody did when I left Eirentheos on Sunday night."
"What do you mean?" She had never seen William like this, never heard him so upset he couldn't speak clearly.
"I mean … When he didn't come to meet me in Cloud Valley, I just figured that he'd had something else to do, or that he was still mad at me over the way I'd been treating you. Without the birds, there's really no way to send a message…" he paused, trying to catch his breath. Her heart sank into her stomach as she realized that there might be a completely different reason for his behavior this week.
"And then I got back, and everyone was asking me where he was, why he hadn't come back with me, and then we realized. Nobody had seen him or heard from him for eight days. Then Nathaniel went, and he came back here on Tuesday night. Thomas still had not returned. Nathaniel went back again last night. I've been going out of my mind."
She did the math quickly in her head, her heart speeding in fear. "He still hasn't come back from Philotheum?"
"No, that's what I'm telling you … wait. What did you just say?" His face had gone from bone-white to dusky gray.
"Um," she tried to speak, her voice suddenly small. "Just before I left, literally right before I went through the gate, Thomas told me he was going to Philotheum to try and find your cousin Lily."
She really hoped he wasn't going to pass out, because if he did, she had no idea who was going to pick up either of them. Mrs. Williams was tiny.
"He went to Philotheum? By himself? Without telling anybody?"
"He told me."
"And you didn't stop him?"
Her jaw dropped. "How was I supposed to stop him, William? What was I supposed to do? He waited to tell me until the gate was open, and then he kissed me and rode off into the sunset. Literally." Guilt tugged at her insides, though. She could feel panic setting in. She was suddenly overpowered by a familiar feeling – the exact same feeling she'd been having in her dreams every single night. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He looked stricken.
"When was I supposed to? I've been trying to talk to you all week, but you keep blowing me off." The feeling was growing, like a large, heavy balloon slowly filling her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
"What are you talking about? I've barely seen you, and on the rare occasion I do, you're not alone. Or did you want me to let Zander Cunningham in on the secret?"
There wasn't time to argue about this now. Along with the heavy balloon was a sense of urgency. They had to leave now. They had to do something. She glanced up at the sky; it was nearly dusk. "Whatever, it doesn't matter right now. We need to go. Right now. We have time to make the gate if we run."
He didn't question her, just followed as she took off at a sprint, his pace matching hers. They wouldn't have to run far; the library was just off the main highway that ran parallel to the river. In a few hundred yards, they would be able to turn onto one of the many hiking trails that intersected each other, and follow one down to the riverbank.
She was so focused on where she was going, what she was doing, that she didn't even register the quick glimpse she caught of a black truck turning left into the parking lot as she and William ran out of it.

EDGE Products
Edge manufactures modules and programmers for all major truck manufacturers – including Ford, Chevy and Dodge. What sets Edge apart from its competitors is the philosophy that all products should install in less than ten minutes and the end user should have maximum adjustability enhanced with real time data to monitor vehicle performance as it is driven. Edge is committed to offer the highest quality, the best product on the market, and in some cases, the only product on the market, at a competitive price.
Edge Products was founded in 1999 by two cousins with the idea of creating electronic enhancement products for the burgeoning diesel-powered pickup market. Production began in limited capacity at first and as popularity and demand grew, so did the company. Edge has had to move to several new facilities over the last few years before moving into its current location, a 24,000 square foot facility, over twice the size of their previous facility. Edge is one of the only electronic aftermarket companies that has the ability to manufacture its products in house, which allows Edge to quickly meet customer demand and ensures an exceptionally high quality level.
The company was founded on the premise that Edge Products would build modules that out-performed competitors "chips" by using more of the OEM ECM (computer) signals and improve performance by monitoring RPM, turbo boost pressure, timing and fueling parameters. The goal was to improve the vehicle's efficiencies (horse power, torque, mileage and driveability) while providing smooth power curves that far exceed stock power bands.

text: you asked... Q&A: Storage bags or bottles? Are milk storage bags better than bottles? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Are milk storage bags better than bottles? You can safely store breast milk in:• glass or BPA-free plastic bottles with a one-piece, tight-sealing lid• thick plastic storage bags made especially for storing human milkFor short-term storage, it may be okay to use:• plastic bags used to line bottles (These should be double-bagged or placed in a larger freezer bag, and aren't recommended for long term storage.)The benefit of breast milk storage bags is that the milk can be frozen flat, saving freezer space and making for quicker thawing. However, bags can be contaminated more easily, by small tears in the bags or by water getting in during the thawing process. Erin van Vuuren Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

How many times have you had to either replace the cell, or the sensor. I've had my pool for approximately 6 years and I'm replacing my cell for the 3rd time and my sensor for the 2nd. Is that normal? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you use your system year round, yes, that seems pretty normal. With year round, cells last about years. Some get a little more by keeping the CYA level in the pool at about 80 ppm so they can keep the FC level at 4 and still run the cell at a slightly lower output level. The elevated CYA helps to hold the FC in the pool. Scott |
shootnpar...our Aquapure 1400 is on it's 5th season and the original cell. We run it year round at 30% here in Louisiana and vary pump run time from 1x turnover in the winter to 3x turnover in the summer...a constant 30% year round maintains adequate chlorine in our 35K gallon pool with these turnovers. The pool water is kept balanced year round. Regarding the sensor, I was about to replace it this winter after getting an error code indicating sensor problems. Was surprised that the cheapest I could find a replacement was around $150...this is just a sensor with no moving parts...right? So that started me thinking about the surface condition of the sensor. Tried the kitchen scrub pad as instructed in the owners manual...no luck. Then I remembered my experience sanding our fiberglass slide during installation a few years ago. Long story short, I found the sandpaper and re-conditioned the surface of the sensor. Starting with 180 grit and working down to 800 grit. Final buffing was with the kitchen pad. Before sanding, the 3 buttons on the sensor were pitted under a magnifying glass. After sanding, they were smooth and free of pits. The sensor has been working OK for about 4 months now. Hope this helps. |
Replaced the cell and sensor (another 500 bucks gone), and everything is working again. |
