The Arkansas Razorbacks have been the rear end of jokes for the past few seasons. Picked last in the SEC by most at the start of this year, some might want to change that prediction heading into Week 4. Known for their ground game, the Razorbacks showed exactly what SEC running backs can do to a defense, rushing for 438 yards on 68 carries Saturday. Arkansas had more carries than passing yards (61) in its 49-28 win over Texas Tech on Saturday.
Week 1 of high school football in Saline County was pretty good. Of course, with the Salt Bowl at the top of the list, how could the week be bad? Not to mention it was the greatest Salt Bowl in recent memory with Benton snapping Bryant's eight-game winning streak, pulling to a 14-14 final.
Harmony Grove won its fifth straight opener against Poyen while Bauxite and Glen Rose fell victim once again in Week 1 contests.
This week, however, should be much different from a week ago. Blowout after blowout is slated for Week 2. Here are my picks for Week 2 of the season:
BENTON – Approximately 30 people turned out for the first meeting of the Benton Touchdown Club on Monday, Sept. 8, at Western Sizzlin'. The club is formed specifically for Benton Panthers football and will meet on a monthly basis.
John Ginn, treasurer of the club, welcomed members and introduced Panthers Head Coach Scott Neathery. "How does it feel to come away from the game with Bryant and still be undefeated?" asked Ginn.
LITTLE ROCK – The Bryant Lady Hornets cross country team competed at the Minuteman Cross Country Invitational Saturday held at Western Hills Park in Little Rock.
Bryant started off the regular season in style by winning the team championship in a dominating performance. The Lady Hornets put all their scoring runners in the top 11 places to win with a score of 33 points. LR Christian was runner-up with 51 points followed by Cabot (88), Mount St. Mary (118), Vilonia (132), and Pulaski Academy (168). There were 15 teams and 114 total runners in the race.Â
ARKADELPHIA – The Benton Cross Country Team had a strong showing at the Bob Gravett Invitational Cross Country meet in Arkadelphia. The cross country team competed in its first 5K of the year at Ouachita Baptist University on Saturday.
Hope Ernhart was the leader for the Benton girls with a time of 24:56, followed by Carolyn Johnson with at 26:57, Maddie Bailey with a 30:54, and Amber Heath with a 32:24.
The Benton boys ranked third overall with an average time of 19:47, with all team members completing the 5K in 22 minutes or less.

Hello Everyone,
For me the answer is...I don't know!
I have a 9A. 1941 or so. It's not perfectly adjusted, the gibbs should be a bit tighter, I'm not great at grinding bits, etc.....
I was cutting some 2 inch alum for a job and was getting a little bored so I thought I'd try to go faster. I doubled my depth, no problem. Just the same usual slight hiss sound over the noise the motor itself makes.
I doubled again, no problem, again....Finally I'm cutting 3/8 deep in a single pass with just the same slight hiss sound. Beyond that I don't know how deep I could cut. I ran out of the ground part of my cutter!
My feed was slower and I didn't do it too long as the curl coming off of the cut was just too much to control, it was a mess, but 3/8 deep and the machine barely noticed it was cutting anything.
Does anybody know how deep you can really go with a Southbend?

Morsi Declares State of Emergency in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Sunday declared a month-long state of emergency in the cities of Ismailia, Port Said and Suez, after rioting entered a fourth day. The trigger for the violent demonstrations was death sentences handed down to 21 defendants charged in the 2011 soccer stadium riots that left 31 dead. On Sunday, new violence broke out at the funerals of some of the 49 Egyptians who were killed by government troops since last Thursday: at least seven more protestors were shot dead by Morsi's forces. At the funerals, crowds chanted anti-Morsi slogans and threatened to bring down the new government as they did the government of former President Hosni Mubarak. Officials in Port Said report at least 38 victims of gunshot wounds were treated at local hospitals. The demonstrators charge that Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood backers are working against democratic reforms.
Netanyahu Warns of Impending Iranian Holocaust
In his Holocaust Memorial Day remarks, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned of Iran's plans for "another Holocaust: the destruction of the state of Israel." Speaking before the start of the weekly cabinet meeting, he vowed not to underestimate the threat posed by Iran. Netanyahu said the first and foremost mission of the Jewish state was to prevent Iran from going nuclear. The Israeli premier also warned of the risk of Syria's chemical weapons falling into the hands of Hizbullah terrorists based in Lebanon as the Damascus regime continues to be battered by opposition forces in a two-year old civil war that has left more than 60,000 Syrians dead. Netanyahu's remarks were not without political overtones in the immediate aftermath of the national election that saw his Likud party fare much more poorly than predicted. Now in the process of cobbling together a coalition broad enough to withstand the traditional threats by coalition partners to leave and "bring down" the government when decisions do not go their way, Netanyahu is stressing the external threats to the country as impetus for parties to the left of his own to enter the government.
Jerusalem Soccer Teams Intent to Sign Muslims Triggers Fan Protests
Fans of Jerusalem's famed Beitar soccer team are protesting plans by its Russian-Israeli owner to sign two Muslim players from a Chechnyan Russian Premier League team. At Sunday's game in Jerusalem, police made three arrests after fans rioted in protest of the announced plans to bring in a midfielder and striker from Russia. Club officials report a barrage of phone calls from angry supporters in addition to the on-field demonstrations and signs held by fans in the stands that were the subject of a complaint filed with the league charging racism. The Israel Football Federation is expected to hold a disciplinary hearing on the issue of the signs.
Fatah West Bank Government Condemns Gazas Hamas Government Dress Code
In a stand-off between the more secular West Bank government headed by the Fatah faction and the Hamas-run, more Islamist government in the Gaza Strip, the Education Minister of the Palestinian Authority (West Bank) has condemned a dress code described as "Islamic" that is being implemented by Hamas authorities for the coming semester at Al-Aqsa University. PA Education Minister Ali Jarwabi told the Ma'an news agency that Palestinian Basic Law guarantees personal freedoms, thus overruling the decision of the university's board. But in its defense, Al-Aqsa University President Salam Al-Agha denied anyone would be expelled for violating the dress code which he said does not mandate Islamic dress, but only "dress befitting the university." According to Ma'an, President Al-Agha said the code will be implemented "by persuasion," including lectures about appropriate dress delivered by university staff members. Also on Sunday, the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate called on Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip to release six journalists arrested there last week. The detained journalists were arrested at their homes during a two-day crackdown last week.

What's more, between 2000 and 2010, the number of servers worldwide multiplied by a factor of six, while the amount of storage increased by a factor of 69, thanks to server virtualization, according to researchers at IBM.
In July, Computerworld polled dozens of storage administrators to find out how server virtualization has complicated their work lives. Our findings yielded this list of five top headaches. But fear not: IT analysts and virtualization veterans offer their advice on how to deal with each challenge.
Continued from page 16
1 Storage Performance Slowdowns and I/O Bottlenecks IT administrators are painfully aware that storage performance is growing at a much slower rate than computing power. So when it comes to virtualization, it's no surprise that I/O bottlenecks and slow storage performance are the No. 1 problem for one-third of the administrators who responded to the Computerworld poll.
"Virtualization lets you do a whole lot of workloads on one physical piece of hardware, but there's lots of different I/O [operations] mixed into the I/O stream, so it makes disks work harder and caching less effective," says Jeff Boles, senior analyst at Taneja Group in Phoenix. "Virtualization lets us easily do more than our compute power is capable of."
HOW TO DEAL: The solution to the I/O bottleneck depends on where the problem lies: in the network or in the storage domain. Most often, it's in the storage environment, because improvements in storage capability have lagged behind that of all other infrastructure. "You have a very slow, creeping, linear progression of storage capability. Rotating disks can only go so fast. Part of the problem is visibility. Administrators can't see what's going on inside the storage environment, so they don't know how to fix it. Fortunately, we're getting some tools that can help you figure out that problem and address it [more easily]," Boles says.
Fibre Channel customers, for instance, might use Virtual Instruments' performance monitoring tool for storage area networks (SAN) to optimize performance and availability. Other storage vendors delivering visibility tools include NetApp, which recently acquired Akorri and its predictive tool for the virtual infrastructure, and EqualLogic, which has a graphical user interface that lets customers monitor storage system performance.
Boston-based ad agency Arnold Worldwide virtualized most of its servers five years ago. Chris Elam, senior systems engineer, remembers when he first started doing backups and noticed that throughput to the backups was dropping and that backup times were growing. But visibility tools on the firm's Dell Compellent SAN alerted Elam to the problem. He added
more drives to increase I/O operations per second, and Compellent now spreads the data among the drives.
As an extra precaution, Arnold Worldwide's I T staff set mostreplications to take place during off-hours, except for thoseinvolving its production file servers, which it replicates duringthe day because data changes constantly. "That's an I/O hit weare willing to take," Elam says, adding that customer serviceis most important. "It's one thing if backups take longer; it'sanother thing if users start to complain [about slow systems]."Performance is another important consideration in the I/Oequation. "It's really important that administrators start tothink about the I/O density and performance they need giventhe amount of infrastructure they have," Boles says. "Workloaddensity has massively increased in the data center. Now youhave 30 workloads in a single rack [running virtual servers]."I/O density can be increased through the use of solid-statedrives and similar technologies, more effective caching or auto-tiering. Also, I/O will only increase as the enterprise adds moreservers within a single storage system. Scale-out technologies canhelp scale performance as well as capacity . "Small and medium-size business customers can look at [tools from] Scale Computing,for example. The midrange customer could look at EqualLogic,and the enterprise could look at NetApp and 3Par," Boles says.
2 More Complicated Data Backup and Disaster Recovery More than a quarter (27%) of the respondents in the Computerworld poll said that server virtualiza- tion has complicated backup and disaster recovery.
One of the biggest mistakes here is trying to protect a virtual infrastructure with traditional backup methods, according to Boles. With traditional backup, "the degradation and backup performance is more than a linear degradation as you scale the number of virtual machines on a piece of hardware. You're effectively creating a blender for backup contention as you're trying to protect these virtual servers overnight. You try to do 10 backups simultaneously on this one physical server, and you've got a lot of combat going on inside that server for memory, CPU, network and storage," he says.
Complicating matters are workload mobility tools, such as VMware's Storage vMotion, that let users relocate virtual machine disk files between and across shared storage locations. "Now you have to keep a backup going in relation to these virtual servers that are going to be moving around, and possibly run into other bottlenecks. That can be a serious headache," says Boles.
HOW TO DEAL: A handful of vendors are building backupand recovery tools for the virtual environment that runs withintheir virtual infrastructure. That way, the vendors can capture

High school and home town: Lakes High School in Lakewood, Wash.
My academic interests include: Journalism.
What I like to do for fun: Live-tweet my somewhat interesting life, attend concerts, explore new places, and eat good food.
People might be surprised to know: I constantly end up in embarrassing situations. For example, when I led the turning of the tassel at my graduation, I accidentally yanked off my tassel. Then, I knocked off my graduation cap on stage in the process of trying to pick up my tassel. Following that, I tossed my cap up in the air along with my classmates only for mine to land and get stuck in a decorative plant on stage.
I chose Oregon because: it felt like a home away from home from the moment I stepped on the campus.
My favorite band is: like a variety of bands like Vampire Weekend, The Shins, The xx, City & Colour, M83, Childish Gambino, Aer, The Weeknd.
iPhone or Android: #TeamiPhone
Scholarships I've received include: Summit Scholarship and Diversity Excellence Scholarship.
When I think of Oregon, I think of: The next chapter in my life with adventures, change, vast opportunities and new friends. Oh, and football games! #GoDucks!
The thing about college I'm most looking forward to is: Learning more about who I am, new perspectives and ideas, and gaining more knowledge about my community and the world I live in.
The one personal item I must bring to college is: My iPod - my daily dose of music.

Blue Poppy by Doris Charest
Using Mixed Media and Collage - Flowers
Doris Charest - Posted on 13 Aug 2007
Blue poppy still life
You will need
• Acrylic colours:
any basic colours and colours you particularly like
• White gesso
• Black gesso
• Acrylic medium or acrylic gel
• 2in. brush and any of your favourite brushes
• White tissue paper – the cheap kind will do well
• Acetone-free nail polish remover
• Q-tips (cotton buds)
• A spoon or a brayer
• Photocopies (high contrast) of subjects that you like – small, large or both
• Containers for water
• Rags or paper towels
• Plastic to cover the table
• Large white plastic bin bags
The best way to learn how to make mixed-media collages is to experiment. Follow my techniques, but don't be afraid to experiment, too!
Step 1 Make your own collage papers
Shop-bought tissue papers are not always archival and lightfast, which is a problem of the collage medium. And as beautiful as handmade papers from other countries are, they can fade, so try making your own collage papers instead. Here's my method:
1 Cut a white plastic bin bag in half so that it is a large rectangle.
2 Lay tissue paper on top of the plastic.
3 With a 2in. brush, gently apply watered-down acrylics (to the consistency of skimmed milk) to the tissue. Be careful, as the tissue paper will tear if you press down too hard with your brush.
4 Paint the tissue papers one or multiple colours. Spattering paint of a different colour on the tissue creates wonderful effects. The papers take about half an hour to dry.
Once the papers are dry, they will lift off the plastic. Notice how the front of the paper is different from the back. Wonderful surprises come out of this! So, unlike bought papers, you get two for one – two surfaces from the same paper!
Step 2 Choose your colours
Now that you have a surface and these wonderful handpainted papers, what do you do? First, choose three different colours, a black and a light colour. No more than that, especially if you are a beginner. Generally, I would suggest you pick one colour, its complement and a neutral. For example: orange, its complement – purple, and a neutral would be a greypurple or a grey-orange. Notice that I have not mentioned white. Sometimes, beige is light enough depending on the colours you pick. The black could be a dark purple.
Step 3 Make shapes
Tear or cut the papers into basic shapes. Make sure the shapes are different sizes. For every colour I use, I have three different sizes: small, medium and large.
Arrange the shapes into a pleasing design. Only when you are happy with the design should you start to glue the pieces to the surface. To make it easy for yourself, have two boards. Arrange the pieces on one board.
When you are ready to glue them down, take one piece at a time and glue them in the same location on the second board. This saves you having to remember where everything went.
Step 4 Image transfer
When the background is dry, you are ready to add the photo-transfer. Decide what image (or images) you would like to incorporate into the collage. You may not want to add any images at all and leave the collage as it is – an abstract.
Alternatively, add images by drawing or painting them on top of the collage or by photo-transfer. I often do both. I photocopy my drawings then photo-transfer them onto my collages.
Photo-transfer technique
1 Take a fresh photocopy (old photocopies do not transfer well), and place it carbon side down on the painting.
2 Dip a Q-tip (cotton bud) into some acetone-free nail polish remover and gently rub the paper until it is soaked with the remover. Rub only a very small area at a time. Take a spoon or hard object and rub this dampened area. Press hard.
3 When you have repeated this process over the entire image, lift the paper and the image should have transferred itself onto your painting. If the paper sticks, dampen the area again and lift. Remember that you will get the image in reverse because it is face down.
Step 5 Add the colour
Now, I add colour to my drawing or my photo-transfer using acrylics. I do not completely finish the subject because I like the image to blend with the background. I want the work to fade in some places and stand out in others. People who have bought my work say that every time they look at it they see something different. Aim for this and, above all, experiment and have fun with your collage making.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Thunderhead Cap:
Only real negative is that it is tight on my head even with the adjustment strap unclipped.
The stiff curved bill does make managing the cap in my day-pack a little more work.
It is the middle of winter so I haven't evaluated its breathing or waterproofness. Has worked well to keep snow off my glasses when shoveling or snow-shoeing

Use the hat for tennis and beach. Nylon wears better and washes well. After many washes the inside liner will degrade.

Opening remarks by Makoto Ojiro, Country Director of ADB's Tajikistan Resident Mission, at the meeting on Renewable Energy in Central Asia: Creating Economic Sustainability to Solve Socioeconomic Challenges, Dushanbe, Tajikistan
Dear Mr. Chairman and distinguished participants of the conference from abroad and Tajikistan, on behalf of the Asian Development Bank, I would like to welcome you all to this meeting on renewable energy in Central Asia. I am very pleased that ADB is co-sponsoring this important conference to discuss the renewable energy issue in the context of addressing climate change as it is something that we are all concerned about. I believe Tajikistan is one of the most severely affected countries in the region by the climate change primarily because of the impact of the melting of the glaciers. So, the venue of this conference is definitely very appropriate.
What are the key impacts of the climate change, or global warming in Tajikistan? Well, one can imagine what is going to happen if glaciers start to melt. While there will be an increase in water flows in the medium term, the country in the longer term will need to be ready to adapt to reduced water flows and their impact on water supply, energy generation, and agriculture. So, we all need to think about how we might address these long term impacts of the climate change in Central Asia, and Tajikistan in particular.
Now, the Asian Development Bank has been supporting the development of Central Asia, and Tajikistan in particular, since it joined us in 1998. ADB has so far provided about $570 million worth of an economic program in Tajikistan covering various sectors, including the energy sector. The most recent energy projects are the Nurek Hydro Switchyard Reconstruction Project, approved last year for $55 million grant, and the Regional Power Transmission Interconnection Project, approved three years ago for $22 million. Both of these projects are well underway and the latter project will enable an export of summer surplus electricity to Afghanistan from Santuda Hydropower Plant I sometime next year.
With respect to renewable energy, the ADB accords high priority in its long term strategy called Strategy 2020, which establishes its strategic direction to the year 2020. This is in the context of both infrastructure development and environment as core operational areas for all development member countries, and that includes Tajikistan. In addition, ADB issued a new energy policy earlier this year, whose objective is to provide reliable, adequate, and affordable energy in socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable way. And the policy emphasizes, among other things, energy efficiency and renewable energy. So, you can see that renewable energy is very much high on ADB's policy agenda in the region.
Now, how are these corporate long term strategy and energy policy, both of which emphasize renewable energy, translated into operations on the ground? Well, I am very pleased to inform you that renewable energy as stressed in these ADB's strategic documents is incorporated in our new Tajikistan Country Partnership Strategy: 2010-2014, which will soon be finalized. This report accords high priority to renewable energy in the context of climate change response, and it envisages operational focus in the energy sector. In addition, ADB along with other key donors, altogether 12, recently developed a Tajikistan Joint Country Partnership Strategy: 2010-2012, which also talks about the need to develop alternative and renewable energy sources. This aspect will further be elaborated in the forthcoming Poverty Reduction Strategy 3, which is being prepared by the Government with donor assistance.
Let me briefly touch on ADB's ongoing Regional Technical Assistance for Enabling Climate Change Interventions in Central and West Asia. This project was approved earlier in April with $5 million grant for 10 countries in this region with the overall impact of achieving low-carbon inclusive growth and climate resilient development. The expected outcome will be a favorable policy, technological, and fiscal environment for investment in climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions. It is expected to foster new investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, and adaptation measures. Under this project, a recipient government can put forward a suitable project proposal for external financing. The work has just started, and I hope to see some tangible results soon.
The other initiative is that ADB is a key player along with other international financial institutions for a Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). This is a multi-donor trust fund created this year as part of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF). It is designed to provide incentives for scaled up action and transformational change in integrating climate resilience in national development planning consistent with poverty reduction and sustainable development goals. It provides additional financial resources to help fund public and private sector investments identified in climate resilient development plans. This Pilot Program fund is $500 million, and the overall Climate Investment Fund is about $6 billion.
What is exciting about this Pilot Program is that Tajikistan along with other 10 countries in the world was selected to participate in it by an international expert team to receive about $50-$60 million to address the climate change impact. The ADB and other institutions have had two rounds of discussions here in Dushanbe with the Government of Tajikistan, and I hope that we can work together to develop much needed renewable energy sources as part of this program.
On behalf of the Asian Development Bank, I would like to once again welcome you all to the International Conference on Renewable Energy in Central Asia. I wish you all a productive meeting and look forward to a specific course of action to take us to the next step.

FHSU panel looks at gender-equality

The Women's Leadership Project at Fort Hays State University hosted an international women's panel, where students from various countries spoke of their experiences with oppression, cultural differences and gender-based discrimination.
Germany, South Korea, China, Jordan, Ukraine and Gambia were represented.
According to 2013 Census Bureau data, women in the U.S. are paid 77 cents for every dollar paid to men on average.
The lack of gender-equality in the U.S. is reflected in business and politics as well.
Out of 100 U.S. senators, 20 are women, and 4 percent of the Fortune 500 companies have a woman CEO.
"We have quite a way to go in terms of our politics to reach gender-equality," said Christie Brungardt, director of WLP. "I think young people in the U.S. don't even know the truth of the matter. Sometimes people think we have reached gender-equality. Not even close."
Serhiy Zhykin, a graduate student from Ukraine, said men and women are treated equal in his country.
All employees are hired based on work history, regardless of gender.
That situation is similar to the environment in Gambia, a country in west Africa.
"Africa is completely different than it's portrayed on television," said sophomore Fatoumatta Darboe. "I've never experienced gender violence or child abuse. All employment is equal."
South Korea is transitioning toward progression by recently electing its first female president, said freshman Yeongsu Han.
In Germany, women often struggle for gender-equality and might fail to make the same wages as men.
"Germany is very progressive, and women are trying to fix this," said freshman Goar Zatrjan. "Women are very career focused."
Zatrjan said the birthrate in Germany is low because women put higher priorities on their careers.
"The government tries to encourage families to have more children by giving them more money," Zatrjan said.
Ukraine has the same policy.
On the contrary, China continually is stressing the one-child policy due to overpopulation.
"In some rural places, you can have another child if your first child is a girl," said sophomore Mingwei He. "They need more laborers, but most people in the city can't have a second child."
Although certain families might want a boy, He said, equal education exists between men and women.
WLP is hosting Rise of the Girl Week, focusing on how education can empower females.
"Girl Rising," a film focusing on oppression in various countries, will be screened at 7:30 p.m. today in the Black and Gold room in Memorial Union.
On Thursday, WLP will be informing students about women in congress and the history of women's efforts to earn the right to vote. A booth will be set up in Memorial Union from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
On April 16, WLP will be hosting the $tart $mart $alary Negotiation Workshop, an event dedicated to educating women about the importance of salary negotiation. The event will be from 3 to 6 p.m. in Rarick Hall 301.

In the second half of the twentieth century, the United States engaged in the most ambitious and far-reaching liberal order building the world had yet seen. This liberal international order has been one of the most successful in history in providing security and prosperity to more people. But in the last decade, the American-led order has been troubled. Some argue that the Bush administration, with its war on terror, invasion of Iraq, and unilateral orientation, undermined this liberal order. Others argue that we are witnessing the end of the American era. Liberal Leviathan engages these debates.
G. John Ikenberry argues that the crisis that besets the American-led order is a crisis of authority. A political struggle has been ignited over the distribution of roles, rights, and authority within the liberal international order. But the deeper logic of liberal order remains alive and well. The forces that have triggered this crisis--the rise of non-Western states such as China, contested norms of sovereignty, and the deepening of economic and security interdependence--have resulted from the successful functioning and expansion of the postwar liberal order, not its breakdown. The liberal international order has encountered crises in the past and evolved as a result. It will do so again.
Ikenberry provides the most systematic statement yet about the theory and practice of the liberal international order, and a forceful message for policymakers, scholars, and general readers about why America must renegotiate its relationship with the rest of the world and pursue a more enlightened strategy--that of the liberal leviathan.
Given the updated release of Steve Mariotti's classic The Young Entrepreneur's Guide to Starting and Running a Business on Tuesday, we decided...... READ MORE

The Thomas Berryman Number begins with three terrifying murders in the South. It ends with a relentless and unforgettable manhunt in the North. In between is the riveting story of a chilling assassin, the woman he loves, and the beloved leader he is hired to kill with extreme prejudice.

"Not a favorite!"
Did not like this Patterson book and I have been a big fan for years! Plot and characters are difficult to follow. Seems more like James Lee Burke novel and not like James Patterson but perhaps that is because of the narrator's accent.
"The Thomas Berryman Number"
I agree with all of the other reviews of this book. Was hard to follow. Was on several long trips and kept turning it off to listen to the radio. Harder to follow than any book I have ever had. Don't recomend.
"Don't Waste Your Credits"
Don't waste any credits on this book! I had such a hard time following this story, I kept having to start the audiobook over, and rewinding and rewinding! I FINALLY finished it, but it wasn't easy.
"Thomas Berryman Number"
James Patterson really laid a stinky egg with this one. It jumps back and forth too much an the plot is really stupid. Not worth a read, especially or those of us who James Patterson fans. Get with it James, don't just publish to publish. Put some thought into it.
Comic Collector
"Zzzzzz ??"
This was one of the shortest books I've listened but one of the longest. The story was so convoluted and boring. I'm not even sure I could tell you what it's about. I don't recommend this at all.
I will probably give another try but only because this was his first. Not a good start for him at all.
I didn't really dislike the narrator. Just the story itself.
"Story without plot and bad narrator"
I had intended to read a book by James Patterson for quite a while now. So I got his first book, The Thomas Berryman Number. I have to say I'm not impressed and judging by this book, I can't understand why he is so popular. Judging by other reviews of this book, this seems to be his weakest book, so I might still give another of his books a chance.
The Thomas Berryman Number isn't a long book but it is too long for this non-existent plot. I've had a really hard time in getting into the book and the audiobook narrator didn't help, either. There are some audiobook narrators that manage to really get a book across; Will Patton isn't among them, at least not for me. Perhaps I'll try to read the next James Patterson book instead of listening to the audiobook (or I'll try to find one with another narrator).
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

New topic
Dr. Sands' research as a clinical investigator focuses on extending basic pathogenetic observations in the inflammatory bowel diseases--Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis--to translational research and clinical trials. I have been an active investigator in clinical trials of novel agents directed at specific pathophysiologic targets in IBD in all phases of study. His earliest clinical trial work was with infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal anti-tumor necrosis factor antibody that has revolutionized the treatment of Crohn's disease. Dr. Sands was among the first to report on the efficacy of infliximab in ulcerative colitis, later borne out in large randomized controlled trials. Dr. Sands was also overall principal investigator for a large randomized controlled trial of infliximab in fistulizing Crohn's disease, the largest such study to date. In addistion to his work in clinical trials, Dr. Sands's research has included extensive work in observational studies in IBD, including outcomes research and epidemiologic studies. Most recently, he is the principal investigator of OSCCAR, the Ocean State Crohn's & Colitis Area Registry, a novel, prospective, population-based inception cohort of inflammatory bowel disease based in the state of Rhode Island. The goals of this study are to 1) develope robust predictive models for outcomes in IBD, and 2) to elucidate the role of environmental risk factors in the onset of IBD.

Bee Blocks + end of summer
This block is for Nedra. The block comes from Allison's Spin Cycle quilt. I've always loved that quilt and it was such a fun block to assemble - I think I need to to make one of these. Such a good way to bust some stash too.
And finally, school started this past Tuesday and my baby started first grade! He even wore his favorite Turtle shirt to impress his classmates. I assumed he'd miss me so much, being gone all day for the first time, so I walked up to the school to meet him on his way home. As he zoomed past me on his scooter he yelled, "See ya sucker!" Then when we got home and I tried to give him a big hug he said, "Mom! I'm not in Kindergarten anymore!" So apparently my role as a mother is complete. (kidding)
I'm still in a state of disbelief that I've reached the stage of my life where all my children are in school all day. It doesn't mean our life will be totally free of all craziness, but it does mean that I will have a chunk of uninterrupted time each day along with the remote possibility that our house will stay slightly less messy sometimes - or it could just mean that I won't have anyone else to blame the mess on.
I do have to admit though, that whenever someone asks me what I'm going to do with my time and if I'm going to be 'bored' with my children gone all day, I want to laugh maniacally. My to-do list is so long, I don't think I'll have time to get bored for at least 20 years.

My kids are in Children's Day Out 2 days a week. People are always asking if I am enjoying my free time. I do laugh at them. Then I tell them the long list of things I try to squeeze in to the two partial days they're at school. People have no idea. lol
Congrats to your little guy. I enjoyed teaching first graders! They're a hoot!

Wow, everyone is in school. I look forward to that day :) Enjoy your time, and don't bother cleaning, that is what Saturday and little people are for. You know, Saturday is a special day it's the day we do everything mommy didn't do all week ;) At least that is how I taught the song to my kids :)

Big moment to send the youngest off to school. His comments show you have raised him to be independent, which is essential for him to eventually "leave the nest".
And I love my block! Thank YOU! - August 23, 2012 at 8:27 AM

I am in the same boat this year, Amy. I keep busy with 2 little guys (that aren't mine) 3 days a week and trying to cross some things off my long list of things to do. Sometimes I feel like I still don't have time for laundry (or maybe I just make excuses not to do it...ha!) Enjoy the quiet. Smiles~Beth

It's such a strange transition to have your children away at school during the day. When mine first started I remember thinking that I'd finally have time to get stuff done. Come to find out I don't have nearly as much time as I thought. Mine are now in 8th and 5th grades and each and every year when school starts back up again I go through a funk . . . just trying to find my way. :)
I don't know if I'll ever get to the point where I can say "See ya later suckers!" So cute! - August 23, 2012 at 12:22 PM

Your son is adorable and I love your story about his passing you on his scooter! As much as you miss them... it is nice to have some time each day to do what YOU want to do. I LOVE ALL of your work! I love all of the fun bright colors and patterns that you use... I, too, like these same fun and cheery colors, which is why I LOVE following your blog. Keep sending us new ideas and quilts to make and fun fabrics and I will continue to be a faithful follower! Best to you and your family! Betsy Davis email@example.com - August 23, 2012 at 2:06 PM

I long for the day all mine will be in school although since I'm expecting another it won't be for a while!! I know it goes fast though so I'm enjoying every minute x - August 25, 2012 at 6:20 AM
- Dora, the Quilter said...
I share your sentiment! I often joke that the last time I was bored was in 1972 when I was pulled from my classroom at the last minute to attend a Career Education Training that was poorly prepared and presented to a captive audience of rude people. I'm sure it's happened once or twice since then, but I always try to have some handwork of some kind!

Hahaha! That is soooo funny with the scooter. I had to pause the movie my sister was watching to share with her. Hmm, all that spare time you'll have between fixing the house after breakfast and planning for dinner and planning the day/week/monthly schedule for the family and laundry and household projects and yard planning and church activities and sewing and planning sewing and blogging and then when the kids are home... Oh, yup, all that free time :)

Hi Amy! Your son is a crack up! Those Bee blocks are beautiful! The Echino reminds me of the pieces I sent you after Market last year. Hope you are doing well! I just started a blog, check it out when you have some time!

Body by Simone
Categories: Health, The Crush List - Tags: Body by Simone, crushworthy healthLast week I went to the newcomer on the fitness block, Body by Simone, to try out the newly hyped up gym and see what it's all about. In the past few years, I have become increasingly obsessed with a select few, very select few to be exact, programs and thought I'd give this a try and check it out.
The studio – Located in West Chelsea – 606 West 26th Street – is very urban, clean and surprisingly spacious. There are showers, a dressing room and little sitting area that's nice while waiting. There are two studios for classes and both seem to have ample space as the classes are yet to fill up – but rest assured ladies, swimsuit season is upon us so I'd book your classes now.
The classes – I took the Hips, Thighs and Butt class as well as the Dance Cardio, they were engaging, challenging and judging by the sweat scale, a very solid workout. The mat class which concentrates on your legs and butt is fantastic and as I know from experience, these moves can make the difference and give you the cutest bum you'll ever see! The Dance Cardio was a mix between exactly that, dance cardio, with arms and abs. It's a wonderful all around workout and really covers a lot in the hour long class. Rachel was the instructor and she was Australian, energetic and very sweet!
The hanging art in the studio is Simone. After seeing her body, you'll likely try and stay for the rest of the entire day and not run out to get a cheeseburger. Her body is absolutely insane and I can't wait to take her class this weekend –
So do yourself a favor and book a class before they fill up!
*Tid bit of information, our CrushworthyMom Jennifer Fisher recommended BBS to us and she looks insane, enough said…

When we took the boat over to Capri from Sorento, we disembarked at the main dock, looked around for direction and saw signs with arrows pointing to the town center. So we began what turned out to be a VERY long hike up hundreds of stairs, finally reaching the top main square - weak and exhausted! Little did we know about the finicular that could have had us up in the central town Piazza in minutes - and not half dead! report a problem

Market Basket compromise on the table
Saturday, August 9, 2014
Three members of Market Basket's board of directors say they've proposed a plan to get the beleaguered supermarket chain back to normal operations with the help of its fired chief executive officer, but he doesn't like it.
Earlier Friday, Gov. Deval Patrick urged Market Basket's board of directors to quickly resolve the leadership question. In a letter to the board, Patrick wrote that he's not choosing sides but, "by any measure, the disruption that followed your recent change in CEO has gotten out of hand."
"This is far too serious a situation for these games and attempts at window dressing," she wrote. "It is a serious issue that deserves a serious solution." |

Sometimes you have to work and play. If you have the chance to get away from the office this season but still need to get some work done in between dips in the pool or ocean, these coastal resorts offer crucial business amenities (meeting space, Wi-Fi connections, and the like) plus recreational luxuries (hip lounges, elegant restaurants, posh spas, and more). All five are located within a half hour of a major airport, so you can get in and out quickly, if your schedule demands it.
1. Grand Velas Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Mexico
This all-inclusive, AAA five-diamond resort — open since 2010 — is so upscale that it frequently hosts diplomats. The 91,000-square-foot convention center at Grand Velas Riviera Maya contains enough space for 32 breakout rooms or two conference areas for up to 3,000 people. All of the nearly 500 guest rooms are suites; those that face the ocean feature desks with a spectacular view, in case work beckons. If you like to eat well, but don't want to head into town, you can dine at the resort's eateries, which include Frida (haute Mexican cuisine), Piaf (French), and Cocina de Autor (molecular gastronomy). Grand Velas also houses Latin America's largest spa, an 89,000-square-foot, $15 million complex with 40 private spa suites and a fitness center that offers pilates and yoga classes. Oh, and did we mention the property-wide Wi-Fi? Rates from $299 per night
2. Marriott San Juan Resort & Stellaris Casino, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Located in an area that's fast becoming the island's version of Miami Beach, the 525-room Marriott San Juan Resort & Stellaris Casino offers plenty of reasons to never leave. The recently renovated Red Coral Lounge is a popular spot for locals and hotel guests alike; it features salsa dancers, DJs, innovative drinks, and artsy touches (such as a towering wood sculpture shaped like a coral reef). Morning yoga classes overlooking the ocean can help get your day started. Or indulge in a spa treatment, such as an anti-jet lag massage or a seaweed wrap, to get into vacation mode. Property-wide Wi-Fi (free in the lobby and public spaces) allows you to stay connected. For dinner, look no further than the neighborhood, which features chic eateries like Budatai and Bar Gitano, both owned by Food Network star Roberto Treviño. Rates from $209 per night
3. The Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort, Rose Hall, Jamaica
Close to the new convention center in Montego Bay, the 5,000-acre Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort is elegant and taps into local culture. For example, you can eat at the jerk shack on the resort's private beach, or sip from a fresh coconut after your spa treatment. Inside the 427-room resort, you can sample local fare at four restaurants, including one with a lavish breakfast buffet (think artisan cheeses and smoked salmon) and another that serves local lobster carpaccio for dinner. Golfers might find it tempting to be so close to 54 holes — the 600-acre course is on-site — but it could be the perfect reward for getting much-needed work done. Tennis, kayaking, and Hobie Cats are also offered. For organizers of meetings that won't fill the convention center, the hotel hosts 25,000 square feet of meeting space. Inquire about a room equipped with Wi-Fi as not all feature the amenity. Rates from $259 per night (all-inclusive or a la carte)
4. Moana Surfrider, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Oahu
Need space to spread out? The 793 rooms at Moana Surfrider are large, and its corridors — which has accommodated guests since the early 20th century, when people traveled with steamer trunks — are equally expansive. The lobby, public spaces, and guest rooms feature high ceilings and open windows to let the breeze through, and are decorated in subtle hues of white and khaki, with hints of island décor. Afternoon tea, served on the veranda, and treatments at Moana Lani Spa allow you to schedule breaks if you're struggling to balance work with play. There's also Wi-Fi at the pool. Unwind at mealtime by staying put: The hotel offers decadent small plates such as foie gras and raw seafood culled from the nearby ocean for evening conversations over glasses of wine, and the restaurant Beachhouse at the Moana serves up fresh Hawaiian ingredients at its raw bar and other dishes. Bonus: You won't need to rent a car, because the area is rife with shopping malls, tony restaurants, and beachfront luaus. Rates from $270 per night
5. Shelborne South Beach, Miami
South Beach is perpetually hot and hip, so why not check out one of its newest hotels? The Shelborne South Beach, a 180-room property located a block from the Atlantic Ocean, was recently restored to its early-1940s charm — with some modern amenities added. This includes an infinity-edge pool with a catwalk, and a "bubble desk" at check-in that's covered with white lacquer and sparkly acrylic orbs and wrapped in black stingray skin. Two restaurants provide chic cuisine: Vesper American Brasserie (where the upscale comfort food includes Wagyu Shepherd's Pie) and Lucy's Cantina Royal (which offers fish tacos by the pool). Cocktails are served at Shelborne Lounge. Guests who opt for a ground-floor room can step out into the pool between conference calls, and all guests can take advantage of free Wi-Fi anywhere on the property. The hotel caters to business travelers: It offers meeting space with a terrace and, with help from the staff, a mini office (for either solo work or team brainstorming) can be set up in a poolside cabana. After all, this is Miami Beach, where everything — even tapping out an email — is done in style. Rates from $264 per night

Florida Looking at Early March Primary, Might Again Lose Half Its Delegates
National leaders aren't onboard with that plan yet.
The Republican Party rules are clear. With the exception of the four carve-out states, any state that holds a binding primary, caucus, or convention prior to March 6, 2012, will be in violation, said RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski.
If Florida went ahead with the plan, it could potentially again lose half its delegates, which is especially strange this year because the GOP convention will be held in Tampa.

POSTED: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - 3:27pm
UPDATED: Thursday, May 30, 2013 - 7:15am
McAllen, ,TX (News Center 23) — Jim Darling officially became the mayor of McAllen on Tuesday, as he was sworn into office. The now-former city commissioner ran unopposed for the city's top position. And he said McAllen's traffic flow is the top complaint he gets.
"The city manager has given us a list of projects that they think will increase traffic flow," Darling said. "And so what I'd like to do is accelerate that by taking the issue to voters for a bond issue to see if they want to do that."
McAllen has long bee a large collector of sales tax. Darling wants to keep it that way.
"Sales tax means a vital economy, that all our businesses are doing good," Darling said. "Maintaining that niche is important in attracting new retail business to our communities has always been the number one priority in McAllen."
The Valley has been in the grip of a drought. There may not be a better person to help deal with the issue of water than Darling. He has been called by at least one county official, the most knowledgable person in the area when it comes to water.
"I want to hear what's going on, what other people think," he said. "I don't have all the answers, so hopefully by bringing people together and listening, we'll find the answers together."
Darling suggested that perhaps it's time to revisit the water treaty with Mexico and update it. But he also recognized that it's a cyclical issue.
"What happens with is it always gets pushed to the edge, and we have a tropical storm or hurricane and everybody gets flushed with water and everybody forgets it."
McAllen's new mayor, whether it's traffic, tax money or water, he's looking to keep it all flowing.

My successes have been "La Bamba" which was a finalist in the 1999 Dave Sheriff Choreography Competition and my first dance, "Gladstone Boogie" which was a regional finalist in the 1998 competition. I hope my latest dance, "rhythm of the night" gives as much enjoyment. My music tastes are modern country, latin and upbeat disco.

Head Position Switch
Return to Search ResultsRecord 9 of 12.
« Previous Product Next Product »--- DISCONTINUED. (Verified 6/2003) RETAINED IN DATABASE FOR REFERENCE. --- The Peachtree Proportional Head Control System, model PHC-2, is a powered wheelchair controller designed to allow quadriplegics and other persons with disabilities the ability to move their wheelchairs by means of head control. The controller is embedded in a functional headrest and is operated by tilting the head in space in the desired direction. The degree of head tilt directly controls the speed of the wheelchair movement. This non-contact, fully proportional head control switch requires only limited forward, backward, and lateral head tilting capability. A repeatable range of motion of 2 inches head tilt from vertical in any direction is sufficient for good control. No retraction, extension, or rotation movements are necessary. The PHC-2 utilizes a remote, electronic, 2- dimensional head position sensing device to generate wheelchair control commands. A low level, high frequency electrical field emanating from the control unit located in the headrest provides the invisible contact between the user and the wheelchair. Normal inadvertent head movement caused by inertia is rejected by the control unit, even when operating on reasonable uneven surfaces. The size and shape of the headrest eliminates any interference with peripheral vision or face related tasks. The unit emulates a standard proportional joystick control unit and can directly plug into the wheelchair motor drive controller. In addition to wheelchair movement control, the unit will also accept head switch activation codes to allow the user to operate a power recliner and an environmental control unit (ECU) if equipped on the wheelchair. No modifications are required to the wheelchair. The unit features no moving or exposed parts, and has redundant circuitry for safety. WARRANTY: 2 years.
