Nashville Escape Game- Meagan O'Halloran
Nashville Escape Game- Meagan O'Halloran
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with TN Mornings at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
NASHVILLE- Forget board games and trivia. There's a new form of entertainment that's starting to catch a lot of attention. Imagine being locked in a room with one hour to escape--sounds like something out of a horror movie--but it's actually one of the newest things to do in Nashville. The game is basically a life sized riddle. You start in a locked room and in order to escape you must find clues, solve puzzles, and put your brain-power to the test. It's a game that's really taken off in Europe and Asia but what do people think about it here? There are only a handful of "escape games" in the U.S. It cost $28 to play.

Beyoncé - Drunk In Love (Remix)
Artist: Beyoncé
Featuring: Kanye West, Jay Z
Producer: Mike Dean
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 votes )
When the album version of Beyoncé's Drunk in Love single was released on December 17, the Internet opened its collective digital arms with a warm embrace. Fast forward exactly two months, and the Internet has fallen off of its collective wooden rocker thanks to a remixed version of the song that now features a sexually explicit opening verse from Kanye West. In highly entertaining and overtly graphic detail, West describes the moment when he knew that fiancé Kim Kardashian would be his wife. (For specifics, we suggest you take in the audio yourself.) Producer Mike Dean, who worked extensively on Yeezus, provides a few subtle, yet supremely-enhancing tweaks to the original production that was supplied by Detail, Timbaland and J Roc. Look out for official visuals for the remix, which have already been shot and were previewed this past weekend at Queen B's Facebook page. Beyoncé, the album, is currently available for digital purchase.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
4 I won't look the other way, I won't feel sorry for you. I'll make you pay for the way you've lived: Your disgusting obscenities will boomerang on you, and you'll realize that I am God.' | 4 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |

After years of trying to become pregnant without success, Rachel Dawson and her husband Thomas felt their dreams had finally come true the day they brought home their newly adopted twin babies. Though the lawyer Baron Bell who arranged for the surrogate mother charged a hefty six-figure fee, one glance into the eyes of their precious children told them it was all worth it - until the birth mother reappeared, first demanding more money, then the twins themselves. Suddenly Baron Bell was nowhere to be found, and the Dawsons were once again childless, heartbroken and nearly destitute.
When the case finds its way to the offices of high-profile attorney Lizzie Fox, she can't wait to take down the so-called "Mr. Wonderful." And she knows she'll have all the help she needs as it's just the kind of crime that really gets the Sisterhood's adrenalin flowing. Once they get their hands on the perpetrators there will be hell to pay, and it will cost a lot more than cold, hard cash.
Trailing behind the Secret Service agent escorting her to President Connor's private quarters in the East Wing, Lizzie tried her best not to gawk at the magnificent Christmas decorations. She was not, she had to remind herself, a starstruck tourist. She was there for lunch and so much more.
The president herself opened the door and literally dragged Lizzie inside with a whispered, "I'll take it from here, Agent Goodwin." She smiled warmly at her friend. "God, Lizzie, I am so glad to see you! I mean I'm really glad!"
"Me too, Madam President." And she was glad. She and President Connor had a history. Then they wrapped their arms around each other in a bone-crushing hug, strange for two such elegant women.
President Connor laughed. "Stop with that 'Madam President' stuff. In here we're Lizzie and Marti. I need you to call me by my name, Lizzie. I don't want to forget who I really am. Can we do that?" She sounded so anxious, Lizzie nodded.
Lizzie looked around. "Pretty fancy digs, Marti. This is my first time in the White House. I'm impressed. The Christmas decorations are beautiful."
"If you have the time, I'll give you the tour after lunch. Right nowI want you all to myself. I can't thank you enough for accepting my invitation. You look so happy, Lizzie."
Lizzie smiled as she was shown to a deep off-white chair that would have held both her and Cosmo. She watched as the president sat down across from her and kicked off her shoes. Lizzie did the same thing, and they giggled like two schoolgirls.
"There are no words to tell you how happy I am, Marti. I wish I could say the same for you. You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders."
Martine Connor forced a smile she was far from feeling. "I do have the weight of the world on my shoulders. See how bowed they are. And before you can ask, the world slowed down for some reason this week to allow me time for this luncheon."
"You want to talk about it, or is it all NTK? Your approval ratings are in the seventy percent range, so you must be doing something right."
Martine shrugged. "I had a hard time getting used to having every second of my time budgeted. Sometimes bathroom breaks are a luxury. There's always a crisis that has to be dealt with brewing somewhere. You know me. I'm cool under fire. It's when I get up here that I lose it."
Lizzie blinked. "This was what you wanted, Marti."
Martine brushed at the soft bangs falling over her forehead. "Yes, and if it weren't for you ... and ... your friends, I wouldn't be here. I know that, Lizzie. It's with me every second of every day. That's why you're here, isn't it? That's why you accepted my job offer, right? You're here to spell it out to me. Again."
Lizzie stared at her old friend. She gave a slight nod. "Six months. Pro bono. I walk away unless the job proves to be something beyond my expectations. I have to admit, I was surprised you agreed to my terms."
Martine burst out laughing. "Oh, Lizzie, I wish you could have seen the expressions on all their faces when I listed your demands. I thought the lot of them would choke to death. Nine to five! Every weekend off. Pro bono. I realize one hundred sixty-eight thousand dollars is a lot of money, and yet it isn't much to live on here in the District, what with rent, travel back to one's home state, taxes, everyday expenses, and maintaining two residences. It's hard to raise a family and keep up two residences, all for the sake of doing one's duty. When I told them you weren't interested in adding the White House to your résumé, because yours was impressive enough without it, several of them had to be resuscitated. It's safe to say your fame has preceded you. Actually, Lizzie, you're a legend in your own time, and I, for one, am honored to be called your friend. How does your new husband feel about your taking on the job?"
Lizzie leaned forward. "You know what, Marti? My husband is that rare breed of man who only wants to see me happy. If all it takes is his approval, he's all for it. We take turns traveling on the weekends. You need to give him a huge slice of credit for helping get you to where you're sitting right now." Lizzie looked around and lowered her voice. "Is this place bugged? Are you recording me?"
Martine's outrage was so total, Lizzie relaxed. "What I was going to say was, my husband numbers among his friends some of the most powerful, some of the most respected, some of the richest people in the world, and those he doesn't know personally, he has access to via those same friends in his Rolodex. You should see his Rolodex, Marti. I think it's safe to say your own cannot compare."
"What are you trying to tell me, Lizzie?" There was an edge to Martine's voice that did not go unnoticed by Lizzie.
"Nothing, Marti. I was simply commenting on your question about my husband."
"Point taken."
There was a knock at the door, and a white-coated waiter indicated that lunch was ready in the little breakfast nook, as requested by the president.
"Our lunch is ready. It's one of the perks here. I hope you enjoy it," Martine said as she rose and led Lizzie down the hall. When they reached their destination, she nodded to the waiter to show that he could leave. "I know you don't like to eat heavily at lunch, and most days I don't have time for lunch. We're having sesame-crusted salmon, grilled asparagus, and a garden salad."
It looked delicious, but Lizzie wasn't hungry. She lifted the glass of iced tea set by her plate and clinked it against Martine's. "Here's to a thankful Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas, Madam President."
"And the same to you, Lizzie."
The bite was still in Martine's voice, Lizzie noticed. Well, she hadn't invited herself here. She was the invitee. She smiled as she mashed the salmon on her plate. Martine was cutting her asparagus into tiny pieces. Lizzie couldn't help but wonder if she was going to eat it or if she was just playing with her food, too.
"Does my office have a window, Marti?"
Martine offered up a genuine smile this time. "It was one of your requirements, so yes, your office has a window. You did say you would be willing to negotiate the second half of the year. Is that still on the table?"
Lizzie mashed the salmon some more. "Yes, but no promises. So, tell me now, who do I have to watch out for?"
"Everyone would be my guess. You've been Googled so much since we made the announcement, I'm surprised the site didn't shut down. You're the next thing to Public Enemy Number One at Sixteen Hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. My chief of staff understands that you are to have direct access to me twenty-four-seven. Of course, he went ballistic, but we're on the same page now. Everyone is replaceable. He understands that, too."
"Guess you aren't going to eat that asparagus. You must have a hundred little pieces on your plate."
"You always were perceptive, Lizzie. I'm listening when you're ready to talk."
"My friends are very unhappy, Marti. I thought you would have gotten the message when your Secret Service agents were thrown into a Dumpster and their weapons and badges were sent back to you."
Martine started to mash her salmon the way Lizzie had. "We're going to have to put all this food in the disposal so the kitchen doesn't get their knickers in a knot. I did get the message. I wasn't amused. We had to do some fancy dancing to explain all that."
"I bet you did. My friends weren't amused either. You have six months to keep your promise."
"I can't believe you're giving the president of this country an ultimatum! And if for some reason I can't deliver on the promise in the allotted time, then what?" Martine asked in the same frosty tone.
Lizzie smiled. "Marti, I might be many things, but I'm not clairvoyant."
"What? Are you seriously warning me that the vigilantes can penetrate the White House? Is that what you're telling me? Are you telling me they're smart enough to outwit the best of the best? It's simply not possible. What are they going to do, hold a gun to my head and make me sign a pardon and then we're all going to disappear in a puff of smoke?"
Lizzie was pleased at the look of pure horror on the president's face. She continued to smile. "I said no such thing. That's your interpretation. Although the ladies did take on your Secret Service and come out on top. And if I remember correctly, that little neighborhood White House luncheon you sponsored didn't go over so well either. Your guests were more impressed with their ride home, compliments of the vigilantes, than they were with your luncheon, the photo op, and their souvenirs."
Martine Connor got up and carried the two luncheon plates to the sink in the main part of the kitchen. She scraped the plates and turned on the garbage disposal. Lizzie listened to the loud clunking noise followed by a shrieking, grinding sound.
"The plumbing leaves a lot to be desired," Martine said.
"You could call a plumber," Lizzie volunteered.
"It doesn't work that way here. In the real world, yes. I can't even describe to you what it's like living here. I can't step out and go to the drugstore to get shampoo. If I want to do that, I have to notify the Service a month in advance. Then they have to empty out the store so I can shop. I can't go to a bookstore. I can't drive a car. I can't use my credit cards or carry money. If they ever find out I have that phone, they'll probably pack me off to Outer Mongolia.
"You know what I miss, Lizzie? I miss going out to the mailbox for my mail. I miss all those catalogs I used to get by the pound. I always looked forward to Sunday afternoon, when I'd browse through them and order something. You know what else? I made potato pancakes one day. They came up here on the run and said I was stinking up the White House and not to do it again. They fucking told me I can't make potato pancakes! It was the onion I put in them. I'm not excusing my language either."
For all of a minute, Lizzie almost felt sorry for her old friend. Almost. Then she burst out laughing. "Remember that old saying, 'Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.' You wished for this, we made it happen for you at the eleventh hour, and now you have to live with it. And you have to honor your debt. That's the bottom line."
"God, Lizzie, how cold you sound. That's the real reason you agreed to sign on, isn't it? You're here to protect your friends, and if it means taking me down, you'll help them do it, right?"
Lizzie just smiled.
"Goddamnit, Lizzie, say something."
"Where I come from, Marti, and where you've been, a person is only as good as her word. I really should be going. I've taken up enough of your time today."
Martine Connor turned to stop her furious pacing. Lizzie thought she looked great in a honey-colored suit, with a copper-colored blouse underneath her suit jacket, which was open. Her haircut was stylish, and the feathery bangs falling over her forehead were new, too, since the last time Lizzie had seen Martine. She looked presidential.
"But we haven't had dessert, and I was going to give you the tour. Lizzie, I'm sorry. I'll find a way. I promise you. Please, I need you to believe me."
"It's not me you have to convince, Marti. I'll pass on your message. Six months. Not one day, not one hour, not one second longer. I'll report in on January second. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Are you staying here or going somewhere?"
"Camp David. I plan to sleep through the holidays. Do you want to hear something really sad? I don't have a single soul I can invite to spend the holidays with me. Well, that's not quite true. I had several people I was going to invite, but the Service said when they vetted them, they were unsuitable. Unsuitable! That's what they said. I'm whining, and I didn't want to do that. I apologize."
Lizzie stepped forward and wrapped her arms around the president. She squeezed hard. "Six months, Marti," she whispered. "Now, how do I get out of here? Is that guy with the 'football' still outside the door? Oh, one last thing. Watch out for Baron Bell."
Martine grimaced. "You mean the marine with the nuclear codes? Yes, he's out there. You just walk past him. It's that simple. One of my agents will take you home."
Lizzie stared at the president. She could feel her eyes start to burn at what she was seeing on her old friend's face. She lowered her voice to a bare whisper and said, "I wouldn't want to be you for all the gold in Fort Knox."
The moment the door opened, Martine Connor shed her personal persona and, in the blink of an eye, was once again the president of the United States. "Thank you for that observation, and thank you for coming, Lizzie. I enjoyed our luncheon. I hope we can do it again soon. Happy holidays to you and yours."
"Don't eat too much turkey, Madam President." Lizzie flinched at the sound of the door closing behind her. She straightened her shoulders and walked alongside the agent escorting her to a black limousine, where another agent waited to drive her back to her home.
Lizzie kept her eyes closed all the way home, her mind racing as she sifted, collated, and made mental notes.
The moment she was inside her cozy little home, she shed her lavender suit and donned a pair of jeans and a warm, fleecy shirt. She had the crazy urge all of a sudden to make potato pancakes. But first she had to check things at her office, call her husband, then call the mountain. Maybe she should call the mountain first. Or maybe she should wait, think about her visit some more, and make the potato pancakes first. Multitasking, so to speak.
Before she did anything, though, she was going to make herself a pot of strong black coffee to get her adrenaline levels up. While the coffee was dripping, Lizzie fiddled with her CD player, then slipped in one of Cosmo's favorite CDs. Frank Sinatra's mellow voice filled her kitchen. She immediately felt the tenseness leave her shoulders. Then she made herself a sandwich, the kind of sandwich Cosmo raised his eyebrows over but later admitted was tasty. Swiss cheese, lettuce, fire-roasted peppers, and one slice of salami. That mess she'd mangled back at the White House couldn't come close to the sandwich she was devouring. There wasn't a crumb to be seen when she finished.
Then Lizzie moved at lightning speed. She called the mountain, then she called Jack Emery, then her office. She had two calls left to make when she poured her coffee. The first call was to Nikki's old law office, where she asked more questions than she answered. She had one call to go before she could call her husband. With business taken care of, she could talk for hours if he had the time. At the crack of dawn, she'd be winging her way to Vegas to spend Thanksgiving and the rest of the holidays with Cosmo. A radiant smile lit her features.
Lizzie was huffing and puffing when she opened the doors of the fireplace, placed the logs just so, and threw in a pile of birch kindling. The fire blazed instantly. She then moved a pile of silky red cushions near the hearth so she could curl up and be comfortable.
One more trip to the kitchen to replenish her coffee. She was walking through the dining room when retired judge Nellie Easter picked up the phone. "Lizzie, Judge. Several things. I want to wish you and Elias a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. I'm leaving in the morning for Las Vegas." They made small talk for a few minutes, with Lizzie asking about Elias's new grandbaby and his other children before she got down to the real reason for her phone call.
"Nellie, tell me everything you know about Baron Bell. And ask Elias if he knows anything. Better yet, use the speakerphone, if he's agreeable."
"Baron was always a gentleman in court. He fights to win for his clients. He and I belong to five or six of the same organizations. He's been Man of the Year for so many years, I've lost count. He used to do a lot of pro bono work. Lovely wife, kind of timid, stays in his shadow. Two grown children. One is a doctor at Georgetown, and one is a public defender in Georgia. Several grandchildren, who he dotes on. No matter the cause, you can count on him for a donation, and he gives his time willingly to any worthy cause. He plays Santa every year for some children's group, and it always makes the paper. He always arrives in a sleigh with his helpers, either on wheels or with horses pulling the sleigh, and he does it at his own expense. It's usually quite an event. As far as I know, I never heard a hint of any kind of scandal. He's quite wealthy, and as you know, there are always a few who will take a swipe at you for that. Elias said there's a file on him at the Bureau, but nothing bad is in it. There are those among the recipients of his generosity who think he's the Messiah. Why are you asking, Lizzie?"

I like reading about the vigalantes, but this book was just too busy for me. It was hard for me to keep up with which story thread was going with which. I know they all go together, but come on! I don't need every single charater built in a ongoing series like this! We are talking about 14 charaters that, while important to the actual story, and not all of them needed to grow. Hearing how the guys took care of the babies - now that was funny and pretty realistic. But I had to re-read parts just to figure out where the story line was going.
Have teasers for other books at the end of a book is one thing. This had CHAPTERS from other books in the series. I love to read about the vigalantes, but not 3-4 chapters! Especially since I am a vigalante follower - reading about a book that was already released was just a waste of my time and the money I spent on the book. I LOVE books, not cd's not electronic forms - real books. I know that the publishers were trying to get further book sales, but come on!

So dissappointing compared to the previous Sisterhood books. The plot was lacking, the action was lacking and even though there are over 250 pages in the book, the actualy story is only about 150 pages. The last 100 pages are the first 2 chapters of other books, one in another series and at least 2 of the Sisterhood series that most of us have already read. This is very annoying if you travel and do not have another book with you. I hate thinking I still have plenty to read on my trip only to find out there are only 10 pages left in the book that i bought and I have 60 pages of books I have already read.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.When someone decide to adopt a baby it can be for many reasons such as not being able to conceive but the most important is that it is a couple who loves, cares and wants a child to love and take care of for the rest of there lives
When Rachel and her husband Thomas had no luck they decided to adopt and were thrilled although shocked when the brought home twins What could be better news they were now the proud parents of a boy and girl until there world was shattered when they got a letter from the laywer saying the surrogate mother wanted the twins back.
Barron Bell was the atorney who handled the adoption and Donna Davis was the surrogate mother. Mr. Squeaky clean only helped set up the adoptions and they stepped out of the picture and let Adel Newsom a Lizzi Fox wannabe would do the dirty work.
The sisterhood has helped all kind of children and people in different situations and as always there are some surprises that one wont expect along the way but I found this to be the most touching and wonderful challenge the sisters have ever taken a must read for sisterhood lovers.

While I did enjoy the books, with each one I read, the less
content there is! This particular book says it's 252 pages it actually is about 172 pages!
Almost one third of book is advertisements for another Fern Micheals book.
Shouldn' t be categorized as novella's?

I loved all the books in the series so far. I started reading this series about 3 weeks ago and I am on book # 16. I can't put them down. I love everything about the sisterhood. As I am reading them I never laughed out loud so hard as I do whenever Jack & Harry are together. Jack , Harry, Bert and Ted crack me up....that was really great to add them. Now with Tee, Cricket and Fish these books are getting better and better. I just dont know what I will do when the series is over. I only have 4 books left. :(

This was a good book, as far as content. It needs some editing in order to smooth the transition between the plots. However, it is believable, since this happened to a woman I work with. Many thousands of dollars later, they got their baby back, after the surrogate wound up in jail for abuse of said baby.

Fern Michaels continues with the Sisterhood series with this book about Rachel and Thomas Dawson, a couple in their late thirties who hire a surrogate in order to have a baby, things happen and the surrogate changes her mind and keeps the baby. With the normal sisterhood fashion, this book involved the reader to a point that all questions may not be answered - very good!

Great book....love all the characters, especially the interaction between
Harry and Jack. Annie is a hoot and can't wait for her to have a man
in her life.

The latest book of the sisterhood series "Deadly Deals" was as fasinating as all the other Sisterhood books. I really got hooked on them after the first sisterhood book. Each and every story was a powerful one and the justice that the girls give out is truly great and well deserved. Now that they are close to a pardon, I can't wait for the next book to see if it comes true. I really want to see all the girls get to be with the men in their life and live happily. I really hate to see the end of the sisterhood.

Based on photo, it is definitely an aloe, but I am hesitant to name it. Coming from Walmart, it could be almost anything. Just my .02 worth. |
The plant looks like a very young specimen of either Aloe ferox or Aloe marlothii (named after Dr H. W. Rudolph Marloth, a famous South African botanist). You may have to wait until it flowers to make an exact determination. A. ferox and marlothii reach 2 to 4 or 5 metres height so I suspect that unless you can plant the thing in the ground you may never know. I have an A. marlothii about 5m tall in my front garden. That plant first flowered when it was about 1-1.5m tall. |

A Non-Governmental Organization in Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 2013.
The Conservation for the Oceans Foundation was created to support grassroots-level conservation, education and research projects that bring about positive changes to ecosystems worldwide through local, multi-stakeholder, actions. The Foundation focuses on conservation of water quality, biodiversity, climate change, coral ecology and sustainability for ecosystems and human lifestyles.
CFTO will be holding a side event at the UNFCCC COP-20 in Lima, Peru: "Ocean and Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change: Measurement, Mitigation and Educating Stakeholders." Also, be sure to stop by and see our exhibit booth December 1-12, 2014 entitled, "Climate change affects physical & biological properties significantly within ocean & coastal areas and present information about understanding, financing, protecting & restoring these natural areas integrating transparent communication, mitigation, & measurement practices."
See the Ocean NAMA Network's article in Outreach Magazine covering the Third International Conference on SIDS on September 3, 2014.
Foundation History
In 1990, as part of a regional analysis of the World Aquarium's development of its educational objectives, the need became apparent for regional coordination of conservation actions and education. Working in conjunction with regional governmental and non-governmental organizations, the World Aquarium established guideposts for multi-stakeholder involvement and designed a plan of action to involve educational, research and conservation activities.
In 1996, the World Aquarium published the book, Conservation and Management of Ornamental Fish Resources of the Rio Negro Basin, Amazonia, Brazil – Project Piaba to develop field level expertise. At the International Aquarium Congress in Monaco in 2000, the World Aquarium instructed and guided for public aquariums to expand their conservation, education and research initiatives. In 2002, the World Aquarium expanded its conservation focus while working with UNESCO for the Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts and Islands to develop an international multi-stakeholder organization called the World Ocean Network. In 2006, the Conservation for the Oceans Foundation was founded to expand the World Aquarium's focus worldwide.
At the Conservation for the Oceans Foundation, we work with regional initiatives that can create lasting changes in conservation by utilizing multi-stakeholder strategies. To learn more about our initiatives, please select from the following:

These collars are exactly like the ones from my vet and they are quite a lot less expensive. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Tired of paying high prices for flea products at the Vet's office. This collar lasts longer than most & I don't have to worry if it gets wet. Will order another collar in 6 months from Entirelypets and save money.
After diligently controlling the flea population in our home all spring, we tried the Scalibor collar on our dog back in June and are now facing an infestation of EPIC proportions. Checked with our vet to see if we did something wrong - nope. It's the product that's the culprit. We are angry and our animals are miserable! I've read other unhappy reviews now, as well, and want to put in my two cents to spread the word: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR FLEA CONTROL.

Unmanned combat aircraft development in the US of A has taken an unusual turn. After the success of the pioneering X-45A UCAV demonstration, the follow-on J-UCAS programme was cancelled when the US Air Force withdrew. This left the US Navy leading a smaller programme to demonstrate a carrier-based low-observable UCAS.
On the face of it, the US gave up its lead in unmanned combat aircraft, giving Britain's Taranis, Europe's Neuron and even Russia's Skat a chance to catch up. But while the Navy's X-47B UCAS-D programme may be smaller in dollar terms than J-UCAS, it tackles two extremely difficult challenges: co-existing with manned aircraft and operating from a carrier.
The US Navy does not have the luxury of keeping its manned and unmanned combat aircraft separate, in the air or on the carrier flightdeck. Every Naval UCAS that goes on a ship will displace a manned aircraft, so they have to be interchangable. This creates challenges a land-based UCAVs don't need to face. Northrop Grumman has developed a presentation – a "day in the life" of N-UCAS – that goes some way to describing the challanges, and solutions.
The day begins with N-UCAS in the hangar deck…
Wings folded, the kite-shaped N-UCAS has a space-efficient spotting factor of 0.87 versus the F/A-18C. The wingtips of the X-47B UCAS-D have been clipped to provide 20in of folded clearance beneath the drop tanks suspended from the hangar ceiling. This allows the landing gear struts to extend 20in so that the Pratt & Whitney F100-220 engine can be removed and replaced in the shadow of the aircraft. "You don't jack an aircraft at sea," says Northrop.
Before the N-UCAS is moved on to the elevator, the wing fold is tested. The aircraft is controlled via a laptop computer. A challenge for the N-UCAS is to maintain low-observability with wing folding. The design must eliminate any external bump and maintain electrical continuity across the fold. On the flightdeck, the folded wing must withstand wind or jet blast up to 60kt without breaking. "It's a very rigid wing," the company says.
With no overhang, the tailless vehicle is easy to manoeuvre out of the hangar and on to the elevator. There is no power on the aircraft, and no hydraulics, so an air-pressure system is used for braking, the number applications available displayed to crewman handling the vehicle. Three N-UCAS can fit on the elevator, tail-outboard, where only two F/A-18s can be carried.
On the flightdeck, preparations for the day's mission are accomplished in the shadow of the aircraft. The N-UCAS is fuelled through a port in the starboard main landing-gear well, avoiding extra openings in the LO airframe. Weapons are loaded into the two bays with the same trapeze system used on the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter. Alternatively, these bays can carry sensors or even fuel, allowing the N-UCAS to act as a aerial refueling tanker.
The key to N-UCAS is "not to change any procedures on the flightdeck", says Northrop. "This aircraft taxies and moves like every other aircraft on the deck." Aircraft lighting indicates its status: green, it is under control of a deck officer; blue, the N-UCAS is ready to launch and under the control of the mission operator below decks in the combat information centre.
In Northrop's operating concept, each deck officer has a control display unit on his wrist, linked to a wireless computer on his belt. As he takes control of the N-UCAS on the carrier deck, he has a "dead man's switch". To move the aircraft, he must make the switch. If he lets go, the brakes go on and hook comes down to let everyone know the vehicle is not under control.
Manoeuvring the aircraft to the catapult, the deck officer lowers the launch bar on the nose gear and engages the shuttle. Power is added, the holdback bar raised and the catapult tensioned. Lights change from green to blue to signal the vehice is ready for launch, and control has transferred to the mission operator. Launch is no different than for a manned aircraft. "The Navy has launched aircraft hands off from carrier decks for 20 years," says Northrop.
In the cramped confines of the carrier's CIC, the mission operator can handle several N-UCAS using two displays providing situational awareness inside and outside the autonomous vehicles. Designed for persistent surveillance and strike missions, the N-UCAS has an unrefuelled endurance of 12-14h, increasing to 50-100h with aerial refuelling.
Returning from its mission, the N-UCAS enters the carrier control area at 200nm from the ship. Recovery data from the vehicle, including its fuel status, is datalinked to the carrier's air traffic control centre for display alongside information from manned aircraft. From 200nm to 50nm, the system generates recovery order, creating individual vectors to flow the aircraft in.
At 50nm, manned and unmanned aircraft alike begin receiving vectors – heading, airspeed and altitude – to recover to the carrier. "N-UCAS is in amongst the gaggle," says Northrop. Coupled to the carrier's precision ship-relative GPS landing system, the autonomous aircraft begins its approach. At 3.25nm, if the landing signal offcer and air boss agree, the vehicle tips over on to a 3.5° glideslope for its final descent.
At 0.75nm, if the approach looks good, the LSO makes a switch and sends a signal to the aircraft to keep on coming. If the deck is fouled, the air officer hits a button and waves off the N-UCAS, which adds power and executes a pre-programmed flightpath to come around again. If the deck is clear, the aircraft keeps coming, aiming to catch the third wire.
As it senses weight on wheels, the aircraft powers up and reconfigures the flight controls ready for a "bolter", or go-around, if it misses the wires. If it feels the deceleration of a successful arrested landing, it retards the engine to idle, drops the wire and raises the hook. Control transfers to the deck officers, who taxi and park the vehicle. Mission accomplished.

Newborn head molding
Newborn head molding
Newborn head molding is an abnormal head shape that results from pressure on the baby's head during childbirth.
Alternative Names
Newborn cranial deformation; Molding of the newborn's head
The bones of a newborn baby's skull are soft and flexible, with gaps between the plates of bone.
The spaces between the bony plates of the skull are called cranial sutures. The anterior and posterior fontanelles are two gaps that are particularly large. These are the soft spots you can feel when you touch the top of your baby's head.
During a head-first delivery, pressure on the head caused by the narrow birth canal (vagina and pelvic bones) may mold the head into an oblong shape. These gaps or spaces allow the baby's head to change shape. Depending on the amount and length of pressure, the skull bones may even overlap.
These gaps or spaces also allow the brain to grow inside the skull bones. They will close as the brain reaches its full size.
Fluid may also collect in the baby's scalp (caput succedaneum) or blood may collect beneath the scalp (cephalohematoma). This may further distort the shape and appearance of the baby's head. Fluid and blood collection in and around the scalp is common during delivery. It usually disappears after a few days.
If your baby is born breech (buttocks or feet first) or by cesarean section, the head is usually round and otherwise well-shaped. Extreme abnormalities in head size are NOT related to molding.

Because health care is a business unlike any other, succeeding in the home-care industry requires a wide range of skills. On the upside-if you can call it that-illness is an inevitable part of human existence, and medical care is in constant demand.
That said, health care isn't exactly an entrepreneur's dream. Layers of bureaucracy stand between you and your clients. Marketing a new service means winning over physicians and patients-to say nothing of miserly insurance providers. Administration takes know-how; without experience (or experienced staffers), billing alone can become a lifetime project.
Breaking into this business without a health-care background is possible, especially if you specialize in nonmedical care. However, offering services you know nothing about is hardly intelligent, even if others will furnish the actual skills. "Every doula I employ has to be the equivalent of Mary Poppins," says Morley. "If I make a mistake, it's expensive."
It's more than expensive. In health care, quality control isn't just a marketing issue; it's a matter of life or death. "If you want to make big bucks fast, don't go into home care," warns Stumpf. "We have to care more about the patients than we do the money.
"I've taken losses to provide unreimbursable services when I thought they were necessary. I haven't kept a lot of the [revenue] for myself because a quality staff costs money. Profits cannot be your only concern."
Then again, profits aren't negligible. Successful home-care entrepreneurs are both compassionate and resourceful, shrewd and caring. Running a home-care agency is a bit like running a temporary help service. You contract with clients and provide personnel for a fee. But you also take on all the legal, ethical, emotional and bureaucratic issues that go with tending human health.

It's doing good. It is a paler green than the one that has been in the ground but I think it was that way in the container. They both have peaches on them. I have had a lot of fruit drop on the peaches and apple trees though. I think it's do to the heat and probably normal. |

BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES, SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS FIRST PERFECT GAME, June 13, 2012, AT&T Park
Pitching ace Matt Cain threw the first perfect game in franchise history when he overwhelmed the Houston Astros with a masterful performance at AT&T Park. Cain's superb 14-strikeout tour de force matched Sandy Koufax (September 9, 1965) for the most punch outs registered during a perfect game and immediately ascends into the pantheon of performances in Giants history.
On this momentous day San Francisco Giants fans marveled at Cain's 125-pitch virtuoso display scattering six groundball outs and seven flyball outs to shut down the Houston hitters. The June 13th history-maker provides yet another link to the franchise's long and proud heritage as Christy Mathewson spun a Giants no-hitter on June 13, 1905. A lucky 13th also occurred earlier in season for Cain as he registered a one-hit, 11-K gem on April 13, 2012.
Direct from the Major League Baseball archives, this extraordinary television broadcast includes the historic and masterful pitching performance of Cain. A special audio feature allows fans to watch the television broadcast and listen to the Giants Radio Network announcers!

If Keith Adkins was looking for an off-season motivational tool, he may have found it.
Adkins' team's run at a national tournament finals berth was cut short Monday night in Kansas City by Oklahoma City University 78-64. But that didn't take any of the edge off an exciting end to a 26-10 season.
Even though being quiet is the No. 1 rule, children can still have loads of fun at the public library.
On Tuesday, Friends of the Taylor County Public Library hosted a Spring Thing - an event featuring story time, pottery painting, coloring, snacks and more.
About 12 children and several adults attended.
The Friends began hosting monthly events in January, and, according to the organization's president, Kathy Maynard, the group hopes to continue offering special events.
Two children and their mother were seriously injured in a wreck Friday morning on KY 210, and the driver of the other vehicle was charged with DUI.
According to a report from the Taylor County Sheriff's office, Anthony R. McMahan, 50, of Saloma Road in Campbellsville was driving a 1991 Oldsmobile 98, traveling east on KY 210 when he crossed over the centerline and entered the westbound lane. McMahan's vehicle struck the passenger side of a 2003 Honda Accord being driven by Raymond Schmitt, 54, of Hesston, Kan.
With prices on the rise, more consumers are looking directly to farms for their meat purchases.
Taylor County farmer Jeff Arnold said he sells about 25 cows a year directly to consumers. Some buy half a cow, while others buy a quarter.
That number can increase when retail meat prices rise, he said.
"When the price goes up at the grocery store, they kind of look at other options," Arnold said. "We also slaughter one every eight to 10 months for our own use."
Buying directly is cheaper, Arnold said, with beef prices ranging from $1.50 to $1.60 per pound.
Tabaco. Granero. Cosecha. These are words that local tobacco farmers may hear often when harvesting tobacco, but many may not know what they mean.
These words are Spanish for tobacco, barn and harvest. Area farmers will get a chance to learn those and other farming-related words next month when Campbellsville University Technology Training Center offers a three-night "Spanish for Farmers" class.
In May, Campbellsville voters will decide whether some local restaurants can serve alcohol or not.
According to Taylor County Clerk Mark Carney, the group circulating a petition seeking to allow the sale of alcohol by the drink in Campbellsville turned in the final petition on Wednesday.
As of Thursday afternoon, which was the petition deadline, 603 signatures had been verified, Carney said - 44 more than needed. Carney said petitioners started bringing in petitions a week ahead of the deadline.
A Campbellsville man has been indicted on charges accusing him of selling cocaine and marijuana.
Travis D. Owens, 28, of 404 Clem Haskins Blvd. was indicted Tuesday by a Taylor County grand jury. Owens was charged with first-degree selling cocaine, selling less than 8 ounces of marijuana, both second offenses, possession of drug supplies and being a second-degree persistent felony offender.
Bond was set at 10 percent of $25,000 cash.
Campbellsville University advanced to the semifinals of the men's National NAIA Basketball Tournament Saturday evening with a 74-69 win over Oklahoma Baptist.
The Tigers rode the third straight double-double by junior Nestor Colmenares who scored 17 points and pulled down as many rebounds.
Campbellsville will play Monday night at 9:30.
See Thursday's CKNJ for more complete details of the Tigers' trail along the championship highway.
National spokespersons Dr. Richard Land and Holly Hollman will be at Campbellsville University on Tuesday, April 1.
Land is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, and Hollman is general counsel of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty in Washington, D.C.
Their address, titled "Church and State and Religious Liberty Issues," is sponsored by CU's Kentucky Heartland Institute on Public Policy.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the Little Auditorium.
Taylor County High School's Students of the Week for Feb. 25 are, from left, front: Ashley Biggs, Hannah Allen, McCall Turpin, Becca Phillips and Loren Eubank. Middle: Cody Gribbins, Alex Ferrante, Lisa Dinsmore, Jordan Davis, Barbara Quieros, Alex Burch, Marie Shivley and Spencer Dalton.

I joined the verdant tomc back in Nov. I sample each month's selections, & then I hoard them. It's a habit I've been trying to break, in more than one area of my life. So as of a few weeks ago, I'm trying to make an effort to work my way through my entire stash, including the TOMC. Today I'm focusing on November, & this is one of the teas from that offering.
I've reviewed it before, & while I was sipping it today, I made a few notes in my tea journal (I have journals for everything).
dry smell of canned milk
wet smell of winter squash
steeped: mildly sweet, soothing, tastes like carmelized winter squash.
After drinking through several steepings, I checked my notes on steepster from previous steepings, & I'm pleased to say that they were pretty much the same!

Charles Baudelaire
Apr. 9, 1821
Paris, France
Aug. 31, 1867
Paris, France
French Poet. Known as "the father of modern criticism." Charles Baudelaire was born in Paris, where he lived most of his life. His father was a sixty-year-old ex-priest and widower when he married his mother orphan who was twenty-six. His father died in 1827. His stepfather, who became a senator, died in 1857. Baudelaire worshipped his mother. He was sent to boarding school. He studied at the College Royal in Lyon from 1832 to 1836 and Grand school in Paris from 1836 to 1839, from where he was expelled. At this time he became addicted to opium. He also contracted syphilis, which turned out to be lethal. During this period Baudelaire fell heavily into debt and he never finished his law studies. In 1841, he was sent on a trip to India, but he stopped off at Mauritius. On his return to Paris in 1842, he met Jeanne Duval, a woman who became his mistress and inspiration for his poem "Black Venus." In the late 1840, he became involved in politics. He fought at the barricades during the revolution of 1848 and in the same year he also co-founded the journal "Le Salut Public." He published his first novel, the autobiographical "La fanfario" in 1847. From 1852 to 1865 he was occupied in translating Edgar Allan Poe's writings. He published "The Flowers of Evil" in 1857. Baudelaire wrote in "The Painter of Modern Life" in 1863. The remaining years of his life were darkened by despair and financial difficulties. He returned to Paris in 1866 from Brussels. He was already seriously ill and he stayed in a sanatorium. He died in a Paris clinic of aphasia and hemyplegia in his mother's arms.
