Essay Topics
Essay Topic 1
Many novels, and perhaps a majority, of novels ends on a happy note. Discuss the following:
1. Why do you think many (most?) people want what they perceive as a happy or good ending to a novel? Explain your opinion. Do you? Why or why not?
2. What are three reasons to read fiction? Discuss each one in light of Eclipse and whether or not it fulfills all three, two or one of the reasons you mention. Give examples as to why Eclipse is or is not successful in fulfilling the reasons you discuss.
3. Do you think reading solely for entertainment is as good a reason to read as any other? Why or why not? Can any work of fiction or non-fiction, no matter how poorly written, enlighten, teach, stimulate thought? Why or why not?
Essay Topic 2
Jacob tells Bella how in the legends of the werewolves the old ones used to talk about imprinting, how a werewolf would look at a woman and realize she was the one he was supposed to be with. Jacob says that they had always thought these were just legends, but imprinting happened to Sam shortly after he began to transition into a werewolf when he saw his girlfriend's cousin, Emily. This caused a rift between Sam and his previous girlfriend, Leah. This imprinting has also begun to happen to others of the werewolf pack. Jacob talks about how difficult this can be on some of the pack and how the others are able to read minds while they are in werewolf shape together, therefore they all know how the others are feeling. It is a difficult situation.
1. Do you think it is fair to someone to be subjected to imprinting for determining who they will love? Why or why not? Use examples from Eclipse and your own life to support your answer.
2. Why do you think fate would cause a person to fall in love with someone when they are already involved or married to someone else? Do you think Sam should have stayed with Leah? Why or why not? Use examples from Eclipse and your own life to support your answer.
3. How would you feel if you could read the minds of the friends in your group and what difficulties do you think this would cause? Use examples from Eclipse and your own life to support your answer.
Essay Topic 3
Discuss one of the following:
1. Trace and analyze the theme of growth in Eclipse. Consider the following questions as you write: What characters are most concerned with growth? Why? What are some symbols of growth? Symbols of rigidity? What characters seem rigid?
2. Trace and analyze the theme of courage in Eclipse. Which characters struggle with this issue? Why? Which characters seem to possess courage? Why?
3. Trace and analyze the theme of love in Eclipse. Consider love between two species such as vampire and human or werewolf and human as well as the differences between the love in the Cullen family, Jacob's family and human families.

James goes to test out the hottest yoga class in Europe. He gets there late, but two of the instructors stay behind to see if they can help him. He explains that he had back surgery and needs to loosen up. The girls show him some positions to help, but when Alexxa bends over in front of him James decides to show her a better way to feel comfortable. He starts eating her ass and pussy. The other instructor, Ivana and a student that stayed after class cant help but get aroused by what they see and begin their own exercise. Soon enough the room is filled with the sounds of fucking and sucking as the two couples interact. . . and then they switch. . . and then they switch again. It appears James found the inner piece needed inside of Alexxa.

US 3361701 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) United States Patent Ofitice 3,361,701 Patented Jan. 2, 1968 3,361,701 POLYAMIDE COMPOSITION CONTAINING A FATTY ACID ALKYLOLAMIDE AS PLAS- TICIZING AND AN'I'ISTATIC AGENT Heinz Polaclr, Marl, Heinz Juretzek, Munster, and Friedrich Seifert, Marl, Germany, assignors t Chemische Werke Huls Aktiengesellschaft, Marl, Germany, a corporation of Germany No Drawing. Filed Aug. 12, 1965, Ser. No. 479,297 Claims priority, application Germany, Aug. 27, 1%4, C 33,742 2 Claims. (Cl. 260-326) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A polyamide (or mixed polyamide) is plasticized and made antistatic by admixture with 2-30 Wt. percent of a fatty acid alkylol amide of the formula wherein R is a member of the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon groups containing 10-20 carbon atoms and R and R each stands for a member of the group consisting of hydroxyl terminated aliphatic groups containing 1-10 carbon atoms. It is known to use aromatic sulfonic acid alkylamides and hydroxybenzoic acid esters for plasticizing polyamides and mixed polyamides. These plasticizers however do not have any noteworthy antistatic action or effect. It is also known to produce oriented polyamide fibers and filaments having antistatic properties by the addition of a polyalkylene glycol ether having a molecular weight above 600 e.g. 10,000 to 20,000 to the polyamide, the ends of the polyether chains being blocked by aliphatic or aromatic groups. The new antistatic, plasticized polyamides and mixed polyamides of the present invention are characterized by a content of 2 to 30% by weight, preferably 5 to by weight or" a fatty acid alkylol amide of the general formula in which R stands for a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group having from 10 to 20 carbon atoms and R and R each stands for an alkylol group having from 1 to 10 and preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The term alklol group embraces hydroxyl terminated aliphatic groups having 1-10, preferably 1-6, carbon atoms as well as the condensation products of such alcohols with ethylene-, propyleneand butylene glycols such as the mono-, di and triethylene glycols, dipropylene glycol and their mixtures. Examples of suitable polyamides and mixed polyamides are those having monomer units containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms such as products known to those skilled in the art under the names: Polyamid 6 Polyamide from E-aminocaproic acid (caprolactam). Polyamid 11 Polyamide from w-aminoundecanoic acid (undecanoic acid lactam). Polyamid 12 Polyamide from w-aminododecanoic acid (laurinlactam). Polyamid 6, 6 Polyamide from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. Polyamid 6, 10 Polyamide from hexamethylenediamine and sebacic acid. Polyamid 6, 12 Pclyamide from hexarnethylenediamine and decanedicarboxylic acid. Polyamid 6/ 6, 6 A mixed polyamide from Polyamid 6 and Polyamid 6, 6 (copolymerisate) Polyamid 6/ 12 A mixed polyamide from Polyamid 6 and Polyamid 12 (copolymerisate). Polyamid 6/ 6, 6/12 A mixed polyamide from Polyamid 6, Polyamid 6, 6 and Polyamid 12 (copolymerisate). Polyamid 6/ 6, 12 A mixed polyamide from Polyamid 6 and Polyamid 6, 12 (copolymerisate) The antistatic, plasticized polyamides and mixed polyamides in accordance with the present invention are made by the addition of from 2 to 30% and preferably from 5 to 10% of a fatty acid alkylol amide to the molten, powdered, crushed or granulated polyamide. The resulting powder or granular mixture can be extruded in the usual Way or homogenized in a kneader. Small amounts of plasticizers of from 2 to 7% by weight can be worked directly into the polyamide in granular form. With larger amounts, that is, 10% by weight or more it is advisable to use the polyamide in powdered or crushed form which may contain granules. In addition to the fatty acid alkylol amides described above mixtures of different substituted fatty acid alkylolamides may be introduced. The fatty acid alkylolamides can be mixed with known polyalkylene glycol ethers or with the usual plasticizers with the production of surprising synergistic effects. Special advantages are shown by polyamides and mixed polyamides in which from 20 to of the fatty acid alkylolamide plasticizer is substituted by a polyalkylene glycol ether, one end of the polyether chain of which is blocked by an aliphatic or aromatic group and the other end of which is blocked in the usual way by a hydrogen atom and the molecular weight of which is from 200 to 20,000. Thus a mixture of e.g. parts by weight of Polyamid 12 with 5 parts by weight of a fatty acid alkylolarnide and 5 parts by weight of alkylphenol-polyglycol ether (molecular weight 529) gives a better antistatic effect than is obtained by the addition of 10 parts by weight of polyglycolether alone. For this purpose polyalkylethers having low molecular Weights either above or below 600 may be used. Example 1 The antistatic effect of the antistatic plasticizer of the present invention in different mixtures with Polyamid 11 and Polyamid 12 was compared with the antistatic effect of known antistatic and plasticizing agents. In the case of non-antistatic plasticizers 14 parts by weight of the plasticizer was added for each 100 parts by weight of polyamide as is customary with pure polyamides. For the antistatic effect alone only small amounts of the antistatic plasticizer were added. As Table 1 shows a significant plasticizing effect is observed even by small additions (5 to 10% by weight). The homogenization of the mixtures was carried out in an extruder. Press plates and injection molded bodies were formed from the cut up extrudate. The degree of plasticization was determined as ball pressure hardness (VDE 0302, 6) and the measured values are shown in Table 1. As the measure of the antistatic effect the surface resistance was used (DIN 53, 482). These values in Table 2 show that the antistatic, plasticized polyamides in accordance with the invention, containing from 5 to by Weight of fatty acid alkylolamide, even after different kinds of conditioning, have a surface resistance of only 10' ohms. The same is true of the mixtures which contain fatty acid alkylolamide and an alkylphenolpolyglycolether having a molecular weight of 529 in the ratio of 1 to 1. When polyglycolether is used alone the surface resistance is about ten times greater. TABLE 1.BALI;DPRESSURE HARDNESS Ball Pressure Parts Parts Hardness Polyamid Weight Plasticizer 12 Weight 1, 050 950 Benzene sulfonic acid 580 540 butyl amide. 2-ethyl-hexyl-p-hydroxy- 560 530 benzoate.

JeffCo gets $250K for recreation projects
- Staff Birmingham Business Journal
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs has awarded $250,000 in grants to recreation projects in Jefferson County.
The Freshwater Land Trust will use a $100,000 grant to add an outdoor classroom area and additional trails for the El Paso Wildlife Preserve in Hoover.
Vestavia Hills will use another $100,000 grant for a new trail and pedestrian bridge in McCallum Park.
Both of those projects are part of the Red Rock Ridge & Valley Trail System, a long-term plan for connecting the communities of Jefferson County via a network of bike lanes, sidewalks and trails.
Fultondale will receive $50,000 to add a new concession stand to Black Creek Park
The source of the funding is the Federal Highway Administration's Recreational Trails Program and the U.S. Department of Interior's Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Steve Kerr on Thursday emphasized that he's all for Stephen Curry winning the MVP, but his role as coach requires broader considerations...
With news of the Warriors pursuing JaVale McGee, Andrew Bogut reacted to the story about the team searching for an additional big man.
Steve Kerr played with Dennis Rodman for three years, and the Warriors head coach believes Draymond Green displays many of the same qualities that "The Worm" possessed...
3ySix Warriors players showed up at the teams downtown practice facility on Monday morning, taking part in informal shooting drills and some three-on-three work.
3yFree agent center Tyson Chandler, whom the Warriors hope to sign before the start of the 2011-12 season, was at Candlestick Park on Sunday, taking in the 49ers-Rams game.
3yIf new Warriors coach Mark Jackson follows through on his promise to demand that his players defend, then it stands to reason forward Lou Amundson could reap the benefits.
3yWarriors coach Mark Jackson made it clear that Andris Biedrins, whose game has become perplexingly poor over the past two years, is very much in the plans for this years Warriors team.
3yGM Larry Riley seemed to shoot down any possibility that the team will use the new collective bargaining agreements amnesty provision to waive either David Lee or Andris Biedrins, two of the teams big-money players.
3yThe Warriors are going to be opening the 2011-2012 season at home against the Los Angeles Clippers on Christmas night.
3yAccording to several sources, the Warriors will pursue a big man during the free agent signing period. Nene, Tyson Chandler, DeAndre Jordan and Marc Gasol are on the list.

EdX, the world's leading online-learning initiative founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), today announced an innovative blended massive open online course (MOOC) offering at Bunker Hill and MassBay Community Colleges, the first community colleges to work with edX to bring a new teaching model to the classroom. Through this public/private initiative, community colleges will benefit from edX's platform, connecting students with leading MOOC professors from around the world.
"Our technology and innovative teaching methods have the potential to transform the way community college students learn, both in and out of the classroom," said Anant Agarwal, president of edX. "Our work with Bunker Hill and MassBay will enable us to work with other state institutions throughout the country to provide excellent educational opportunities on an ever-tightening budget."
The collaboration between these two innovative community colleges, both of which have a history of offering online and hybrid courses, and edX was made possible through a $1 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The grant is part of a $9 million investment announced in June 2012 to support breakthrough learning models in postsecondary education. EdX, Massachusetts and the Gates Foundation believe that investing in this initiative will pave the way for further innovations in online and on-campus learning for these and other community colleges around the country.
"MOOCs are an exciting innovation. They hold great promise, but are not without challenges– and we are still discovering their full potential," said Dan Greenstein, Director of Postsecondary Success at the Gates Foundation. "We believe having diverse options for faculty and students that meet a wide array of learning needs and styles can enhance student engagement, improve educational outcomes, and increase college completion rates. We are eager to learn from and share the data that will be generated from these investments in MOOCs."
"I thank the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and edX for understanding the importance of innovative thinking in order to better prepare our students for the jobs of the 21st century global economy," said Governor Deval Patrick. "A stronger community college system fuels our economy by connecting well-prepared students with employers."
Beginning in the spring 2013, Bunker Hill and MassBay Community Colleges will offer an adapted version of the MITx 6.00x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming course at their respective campuses. This unique learning experience will allow students to benefit from virtual courses, enhanced by in-class supporting materials and engaging breakouts. The collaboration aims to build upon edX and community college data-driven research to examine the advantages of a blended classroom model that utilizes edX's MOOC content, consisting of innovative learning methodologies and game-like educational experiences.
"Community college professors are both teachers and mentors to our students. The blended classroom model allows our professors greater one-to-one contact with our students, allowing for greater course content mastery and application," stated Dr. John O'Donnell, president of MassBay Community College.
According to BHCC President Mary L. Fifield, "The invitation to participate in edX comes on the heels of several highly successful classroom-based student success initiatives at our College that have increased student persistence by as much as 32 percent. The timing couldn't be better."
Through its open source platform, edX enhances teaching and learning by using research on how students learn and transformative technologies that facilitate effective teaching both on-campus and online. EdX's ultimate goal is to provide access to life-changing knowledge for everyone around the world.
For more information or to sign up for a course, please visit www.edx.org.

About Governor Patrick's Community College Priorities
Governor Patrick has prioritized strengthening and unifying the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' community college system in order to be more responsive to employer needs for skilled workers and help get people back to work. This past summer, the Governor signed legislation that set aside $5 million for community colleges to be used for four main purposes: the development of efficiency measures that may include consolidation of IT platforms and services; the creation of innovative methods for delivering quality higher education that increases capacity, reduces costs and promotes student completion; engaging in statewide and regional collaborations with other public higher education institutions that reduce costs, increase efficiency and promote quality in the areas of academic programming and campus management; and improving student learning outcomes assessments set forth by the Board of Higher Education under the Vision Project.
About edX
edX is a not-for-profit enterprise of its founding partners Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that features learning designed specifically for interactive study via the web. Based on a long history of collaboration and their shared educational missions, the founders are creating a new online-learning experience. Along with offering online courses, the institutions will use edX to research how students learn and how technology can transform learning—both on campus and worldwide. edX is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas.

By Yeshim Deniz The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

By Liz McMillan Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tom Wesselman, Director of Communications Ecosystem Architecture at Plantronics, will examine the still nascent IoT as it is coalescing, including what it is today, what it might ultimately be, the role of wearable tech, and technology gaps stil...

Cane toads the conquest
by M Lewis
1 edition published in 2013 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "The South American cane toad's unstoppable journey across the Australian continent has long been the focus of great controversy and bizarre fascination. The cane toad was introduced to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to control the greyback cane beetle. Unfortunately, the toads were disinclined eat the beetles. Instead, they set about doing what cane toads do best - multiplying, migrating and thriving. 75 years later, in a country equipped with unprecedented scientific capabilities and unabated public will to battle the invasion, it seems nothing will stop the march of the Toad. Science and genetic mutation have failed, so too has physical aggression. Fences and traps have proved ineffectual, as have natural predators and topographic barriers. No other species has occupied a nation's consciousness like the toad, which has achieved both criminal and cult status. Throughout history it has proven itself to be the ultimate survivor in the face of great adversity. It spreads, it grows, it devours. Cane Toads: The Conquest explores the history, the science, the human conflict and the bizarre culture surrounding this notorious environmental blunder. Director Mark Lewis injects his trademark irreverence and humor into a story filled with engaging characters and incredible first hand accounts. This is a truly poignant environmental cautionary tale on the issue of invasive species and human folly. As the world wrestles with the idea that we have irretrievably altered our own ecosystem, these bulbous creatures may be the ultimate metaphor for the inevitable path upon which we have set ourselves." --Kanopy website

About the Manufacturer
Daniel D. Friel, Sr. founded the EdgeCraft Corporation in 1984. How he built an enterprise, that in only a few short years has become the world leader in cutting edge technology, is a true American success story. As he neared the end of his 40-year career with the DuPont Company, Friel inventoried his skills. Born in 1920, he had worked as a scientist, development engineer and manager of many diverse businesses. He had done research in a variety of areas including physics, chemistry, optics, electronics and even gravity. He garnered numerous patents for development of sophisticated instruments.Always enthralled by knife sharpening, Friel included in his list the invention of a truly effective electric knife sharpener that would work on a wide variety of knives, particularly, fine quality gourmet knives. He rescued a 20-year-old set of Gerber knives from a closet. They were a present from his wife June, and to his great frustration, he had never been able to put a satisfactory edge on them.
With fierce determination and a personal deadline of three years to show himself adequate progress on the project, Friel set to work in a basement laboratory and then sought the assistance of other professionals. "They were the nucleus of the EdgeCraft team," recalls Friel. He created thirteen prototypes before he came up with one that satisfied him. Soon after its introduction, the Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Sharpener earned the acclaim of food experts and chefs worldwide, including Pierre Franey, Jacques Pépin and the late Craig Claiborne.
Friel compares the day he left DuPont to follow his second career to the day he walked away from Johns Hopkins University after earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering."Unlike the day I left Johns Hopkins, when I left DuPont I could proceed with the knowledge and confidence gained from some 40 years of hands-on experience," Friel recalls. "I saw a need and I had the confidence that I could deliver."

1600DPI Gaming Mice from Logitech and Razer - Razer Diamondback Continued
Swinging away from the usual hardware, today we're looking at two of the latest and greatest gaming mice from Logitech and Razer. In the left corner we have the Logitech MX518 and in the right corner we have the Razer Diamondback Plasma Edition. Both offer impressive features such as on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments and 1600 DPI accuracy. Which is the best for your gaming rig? Read on and find out our thoughts!Razer Diamondback Continued
- The Software
What good is a mouse that has all these features and no software to back it all up? Fortunately the Razer Diamondback comes with an excellent driver and setup program so you can customize the mouse to your liking.
With the Razer software being slightly more detailed then the Logitech one we will dive right into the different sections available.
The first is our sensitivity screen; this lets us set our default sensitivity, double click speed as well as if we want to utilize on-the-fly sensitivity like the Logitech mouse.
Making your way down to the advanced button and clicking it funnily enough gives us some more advanced options. You can go as far to set the X and Y axis sensitivity separately along with the level of Mouse Acceleration you want.
The scroll window lets us customize how fast we want to scroll up and down and gives you a test area to see if the setting is correct.
The final section lets us set up the multitude of buttons that is available on the Diamondback along with your orientation (Left or Right Handed).
The Diamondback software is excellent and the most fussy mouse users are going to find that there are enough options and more to keep them happy.
How much does it cost?

When we enter the sombre but never inhospitable sonic universe of Planningtorock, we have trouble distinguishing whether the vocal is male or female. British artist Janine Rostron creates confusion by distorting tonalities with her magnetic timbre, excels at building rock operas and intriguing cathedrals of baroque electro.
A member of the prestigious Border Community, Kate Wax polishes the hypnotic murky depths of her atmospheres and presents the metallic preticipates of Dust Collision, an album of night reveller electro with unrestrained vocalises.
