Open Source Hardware Gets Defined
Industry leaders in open source hardware draft the parameters.
Members of the open source hardware community publicly issued a list of standards that define a specific piece of hardware as open source. Among the signatures on the document were MIT Media Lab and Arduino lead software developer David Mellis, Adafruit founder Limor Fried, Creative Commons VP of Science John Wilbanks, and Wired editor and DIY Drones founder Chris Anderson.
There are eleven tenets to the open source hardware definition. From the definition:
1. Documentation
The hardware must be released with documentation including design files, and must allow modification and distribution of the design files. Where documentation is not furnished with the physical product, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining this documentation for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The documentation must include design files in the preferred form for which a hardware developer would modify the design. Deliberately obfuscated design files are not allowed. Intermediate forms analogous to compiled computer code -- such as printer-ready copper artwork from a CAD program -- are not allowed as substitutes.
2. Necessary Software
If the hardware requires software, embedded or otherwise, to operate properly and fulfill its essential functions, then the documentation requirement must also include at least one of the following: The necessary software, released under an OSI-approved open source license, or other sufficient documentation such that it could reasonably be considered straightforward to write open source software that allows the device to operate properly and fulfill its essential functions.
3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original hardware. The license must allow for the manufacture, sale, distribution, and use of products created from the design files or derivatives of the design files.
4. Free redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the project documentation as a component of an aggregate distribution containing designs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale. The license shall not require any royalty or fee related to the sale of derived works.
5. Attribution
The license may require derived works to provide attribution to the original designer when distributing design files, manufactured products, and/or derivatives thereof. The license may also require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original design.
6. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
7. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the hardware in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the hardware from being used in a business, or from being used in nuclear research.
8. Distribution of License
The rights attached to the hardware must apply to all to whom the product or documentation is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.
9. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
The rights attached to the hardware must not depend on the hardware being part of a particular larger product. If the hardware is extracted from that product and used or distributed within the terms of the hardware license, all parties to whom the hardware is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original distribution.
10. License Must Not Restrict Other Hardware or Software
The license must not place restrictions on other hardware or software that may be distributed or used with the licensed hardware. For example, the license must not insist that all other hardware sold at the same time be open source, nor that only open source software be used in conjunction with the hardware.
11. License Must Be Technology-Neutral
No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.
Anyone versed with creative commons will find this list familiar. The full definition and full list of endorsers can be found at http://freedomdefined.org/OSHW.
OpenSource HardwareOpen Source Hardware ... hmmm....
Is that like Open Source Software ...
Can we go somewhere and get it free?, I don't expect to download it.
Can we get the parts for free and build it ourselves; could we even pay for the parts and build it ourselves with either no requirement for a wave-solderer or it being bigger than a breadbox - doubt it.
Will someone else build it and give it away (like I do with my Programs and numerous Patches) like people do with bottled water at the beach or will it arrive in all our mailboxes as a free sample.
It simply to be less expensive since there are no development costs, that is not such a great deal since I can get a used Computer or a Cell Phone for free already AND there is 'some' support from the Manufacturer, User Groups, and of course MY "Programs and numerous Patches" that no one pays for ...
If people want Software for free then they will surely want Hardware for free too - but without profit then why, somehow, someone will pay - will it be "Ad-Hardware" much like some Software is "Ad-Ware", who likes that.
Does not get it,
I likeIt's about time they came out with this. I used to read about opensource hardware a very long time ago and back then it was just a dream. As a software developer I can now actually start using hardware and build them the same way (in matter of licenses) as the software.
Keep up the good work and keep informing the masses about these new developments.

8. Cape Truth M. Baze 30-1
9. Gallant Son R. Bejarano 15-1
10. The Pamplemousse A. Solis 9-5
Post time: 2:45 p.m. Saturday. Purse: $750,000. Distance: 1 1/8 miles. TV: NBC.
ARCADIA – Numerically, the field for Saturday's $750,000 Santa Anita Derby, which was solidified yesterday, far exceeded expectations.
Obviously, one of the four surprise entrants in the field of 10 is there to make things more difficult for 9-5 opening-line favorite The Pamplemousse and easier for 2-1 second choice Pioneerof the Nile.
So strategically, things figure to be very interesting when the gates open for the 72nd running of the race that annually determines the West Coast's best hopes for the Kentucky Derby four weeks later.
"I don't think anybody can complain about their post position," retired Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens said after the draw here yesterday morning. "The Pamplemousse (No. 10) is fine on the outside, Pioneerof the Nile (No. 4) has a good spot and the inside won't hurt Chocolate Candy (6-1 third choice) because he's going to drop back and come from behind anyway."
Expectations were for a cozy field of six topped by the trio of The Pamplemousse, Pioneerof the Nile and Chocolate Candy. Between them, the three have accounted for victories in the last seven major age-group stakes in California.
Of the four unexpected entrants – Cape Truth, Take the Points, Unbridled Roman and Z Day – the latter raised the most eyebrows. Z Day is owned by Ahmed Zayat, who also owns Pioneerof the Nile. Z Day has only a maiden victory to show for five career starts.
Trained by Rick Dutrow in Florida, but to be saddled Saturday by Mike Mitchell, Z Day has led at some point in his last four starts, all at sprint distances. He is obviously a "rabbit" intended to assure a fast pace, which presumably would compromise the front-running style of The Pamplemousse to the benefit of come-from-behind Pioneerof the Nile, trained by Bob Baffert.
Entering a "rabbit" is a long-standing, rudimentary horse racing strategy generally bad-mouthed only by those in the camp of the horse being targeted.
Connections for The Pamplemousse – trainer Julio Canani, jockey Alex Solis and an ownership group that includes brothers Bill and Jeff Strauss of Del Mar – possibly had license to complain about Z Day. But they showed restraint.
"If our horse runs his race, I think the rabbit becomes irrelevant," said Bill Strauss. "To me it looks like a desperate measure on the part of the competition."
Trainer Todd Pletcher entered a colt named Europe in last week's Florida Derby as a helpmate for highly regarded Dunkirk. Quality Road, never farther back than second, won impressively and Dunkirk finished second.

My sisfurs Bastet and Miss KittySeptember 18th 2010 10:45 am
[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
Meowmy and I are besides ourselves with worry. Since I am now Queen of the household, while Meowmy is at school during the day, I watch over my older sisfurs Miss Kitty and Baby and my younger sisfur Bastet. Miss Kitty has been suffering over a year with Pancreatitis and seems to be wasting away. She will not eat the vet's food unless Meowmy mixes it with canned tuna. Even with that she still gets sick and when I hear her crying before she is sick at her stomach, I run downstairs to see if I can help her. I think she likes me there and finds me comforting until Meowmy comes home. Meowmy has taken her to the vet for tests and he says there is no sign of cancer or parasites which is good news, but because she can't keep food on her stomach, she seems to be wasting away.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/6/14
New Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was flanked by his fresh-faced protege, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, and silver-haired defensive boss Ellis Johnson on Friday. He introduced the 29-year-old Lashlee and 60-year-old Johnson at a news conference three days after his hiring. Lashlee will make $350,000 a year while Johnson received an $800,000 salary, though Auburn hasn't released the lengths of their deals or other terms. Lashlee's hire seemed almost a foregone conclusion. He spent three years as Malzahn's quarterback at Shiloh Christian High School in Arkansas and has worked under him in the prep ranks and at three different colleges, including their initial stop in Auburn. ''He's one of the bright, young and up-and-coming offensive minds in all of college football,'' Malzahn said. ''He's been my right-hand man at three different stops in college. At Arkansas he was my right-hand man. I relied on him a lot here at Auburn. He deserves a lot of the credit for our offensive succes...

GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man who has already been indicted on drug-related charges in multiple felony cases pleaded not guilty Thursday to second-degree felony charge of corrupting another with drugs.
Allen A. Cox, 48, of White Road, Gallipolis, also pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of tampering with evidence after he allegedly "removed illegal drugs from the scene of a drug overdose" in an attempt to impair its value as evidence in a proceeding investigation.
According to the language of the indictment in this case, on Nov. 7, 2013, the defendant allegedly administered, furnished, induced or caused Travis Martin to use a controlled substance and thereby caused serious physical harm to the victim, or caused Martin to become drug dependent.
Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins and Assistant Prosecutor Eric Mulford reported following the arraignment hearing that, while they cannot release any specific facts in this case, they can report that the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) brought a case to their office following the investigation of the "scene of a drug overdose" and the alleged corruption charge — a case that was subsequently submitted to a grand jury earlier this month.
"Ohio BCI submitted a case file to this office that included interviews of the other occupants of the residence and other persons associated with the residence," Mulford said. "Testimony was presented to the grand jury, which found probable cause to issue the indictment."
Present in court on Thursday was Cox, along with his court-appointed counsel, Graham Woodyard, and Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins.
A bond in the amount of $35,000, own recognizance, was set in this case and Cox was later released from the Gallia County Jail.
In his most recent previous case, Cox was sentenced in January 2011 to 11 months of imprisonment after pleading guilty to one count of drug possession and was further ordered to serve out the remainder of his prison sentence in a 2006 case — a case in which he was granted judicial release.
In 2006, Cox was indicted in three separate cases on charges of drug possession, the illegal use of food stamps, intimidation of a witness, trafficking in drugs and tampering with evidence.
Cox later entered guilty pleas to two counts of drug possession, one count of the illegal use of food stamps, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of drug trafficking. He was sentenced in early 2007 to serve 11 months of incarceration in relation to his first 2006 case and three years of prison in his second 2006 case — sentences that were ordered to be served concurrently. Later on in 2007, a two-year prison sentence was handed down against Cox in relation to his third 2006 case and this sentence was also ordered to be served concurrently with his other two cases.
Just over two years after he was sentenced to prison, in January 2009, Cox was granted judicial release and was sentenced to a total of three years of probation with the stipulation that any violation of his probation count lead to his return to prison to serve out the remainder of his prison term.
On Aug. 7, 2010, law enforcement officials reportedly performed a probation search at Cox's residence and discovered illicit drugs in the home.
A drug trafficking charge from the Aug. 7 search of Cox's residence was listed in an indictment filed later in 2010 along with charges that the defendant was in the possession of Methadone tablets on April 2, 2010, and had sold or offered to sell the drugs.
He subsequently pleaded guilty to one count of drug possession in late December 2010, and, early the following year, the defendant was sentenced to 11 months of imprisonment. He was further ordered to serve the remaining time on his original sentence in relation to his 2006 cases due to community control violations. These two sentences were ordered to be served concurrently.
He was further ordered to forfeit $1,428 to the Gallia County Sheriff's Office as proceeds that were used in relation to his alleged drug activity.
Cox also has three additional closed common pleas cases. In two 1999 cases, Cox pleaded guilty to one count of violating a protection order and one count of drug possession and was later placed on community control in relation to these charges. However, community control violations were filed in these cases in September 2000 and Cox was later sentenced to serve 21 days in jail and his community control was ordered continued.
In a 2005 common pleas case, Cox pleaded guilty to the attempted possession of drugs, a first degree misdemeanor, and was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000.

Yet the women and the filmmakers contend their intent was not to offend the religiously observant -- Katya even apologized in court to people she said she may have offended -- and the protest was not staged in just any church, but in a church that symbolizes the recent rise of Russian nationalism. Dynamited and destroyed in 1931 by Stalin and replaced by the world's largest outdoor swimming pool, it was rebuilt on the same spot as the world's tallest Orthodox Christian church in the 1990s. Putin attended Easter services there this past year, presided over by Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Orthodox Church who has called Putin's rule a "miracle of God" and who vigorously pursued the arrest and prosecution of Pussy Riot members.
"This cathedral," says Nadya in the film, "symbolizes the union of church and state. That's not how it should be."
For Lerner, it was not Pussy Riot that was on trial in the courtroom, but "the regime." The women, whom he sees as "patriotic," are "trying to make Russia a better place.... I don't want to sound overly in love with the whole thing, but it was a great thrill."
Pozdorovkin said he "was showing the film to my mother, who didn't like them, and she still feels uneasy. At the end of watching the film, she understands how brave and eloquent they are," although, he added, "she doesn't accept that their means were appropriate." And like the filmmaker's mother, many in Russia who did not initially support the women came to see the crackdown on them as excessive.
For Pozdorovkin, as a filmmaker it was the "rich dramatic tension as you watch them go through this ordeal" that was so compelling. Their cathedral protest was "performance art plus the iconography of the Russian religious movement. They're performing a church service in some way, their idea of a feminist mass."

Internet safety refers to the various issues facing students due to the widespread use of the Internet in today's society, and the need for common practices to keep children and all users safe. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the Internet's effectiveness at the local level, and a foundational component of such instruction is an Internet Safety Program. The recent passage of the New York State Education Law on Internet Safety and Appropriate Use (Education Law Section 814) empowers the New York State Education Department to provide assistance and resources to schools concerning the safe and responsible use of the Internet. The Office of Educational Design and Technology has developed the following rubric to assist school administrators and educators with reviewing their instructional programs with a focus on Internet Safety. This rubric defines the degree to which the school has integrated Internet Safety and adapted its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) into its standards-based instructional program.

When president Barroso's first team took office, the economy was doing well and unemployment was declining. Five years on and following the biggest recession in decades, a whole new set of challenges awaits the 2010-14 European commission.
Outlining his priorities in last autumn, the president said his first order of business would be driving economic recovery and getting millions of people who lost their jobs during the slump back to work. He also pledged to continue his push for financial reforms to avert another crisis.
As for long-term goals, the EU's 10-year plan for growth - the Lisbon strategy - expires this year, and work is under way on its successor. The president has already published a working paper setting out the objectives before the formal proposal is presented in March.
Last week, Mr Barroso gave EU leaders a preview of the plan - known as "Europe 2020." The strategy revolves around promoting low-carbon industries, investing in research and development, unleashing a digital economy and modernising education and training.
It will seek to strengthen the common market and bring national budget deficits back under control, the president said, urging more coordination of economy policy. Twenty countries are now exceeding the EU's 3% cap on budget shortfalls.
The new EU executive is the first to serve under the Lisbon treaty, designed to streamline EU decision-making and enhance the bloc's profile in international affairs. As the guardian of EU treaties, the new commission must make sure the reform charter is implemented - a tough task as the changes touch on nearly every EU institution.
That includes the commission. The new line-up features a high representative of foreign affairs, a position created by the treaty. Catherine Ashton holds the post, doubling as commission vice-president.
Global warming, a major issue during the president's first term, remains a top priority, as indicated by the creation of the new climate action portfolio. The EU is pressing for a resumption of international talks to finish up where the Copenhagen climate conference left off.
Climate action is not the only new post. For the first time there are portfolios wholly dedicated to home affairs and to humanitarian aid. Several other posts have been reconfigured.
The Barroso II team holds its first meeting this week. The new line-up comprises 27 commissioners, one from each EU country. Fourteen, including the president, served in the previous executive. Their term lasts five years.

The government has decided to appoint ayahs to take care of women labourers' children
HYDERABAD: Baby-sitters will now be appointed to take care of children, who are below six years of age, of women labourers engaged under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
Presently, women labourers drop their children in the Anganwadi centres where they are provided nutritious food and imparted pre-school education. But the timings of the centres are not convenient for the women as these centres function only till 1 p.m. and the ayahs leave by then.
With a view to taking continuous care of the children till their mothers return from work, the Government has decided to employ one more ayah in each centre wherever there are more than five children. These ayahs will be taken on rolls under the NREGS-AP scheme.
This facility will be undertaken on a pilot basis in one mandal each in Chittoor, Medak and Mahabubnagar districts. The ayahs under NREGS-AP will be engaged on days when at least 20 women in a habitation go to work.
NGOs help
The field staff are asked to create awareness among the labourers about the extended hours. Collectors of the three districts have been asked to take the help of non-governmental organisations in taking up the programme on a pilot basis.
The NREGS is being implemented in 22 districts in the State covering 2.28 crore adults, who have enrolled for job cards. As many as 1.12 crore women are enrolled for NREGS works.

Keaton hailed in Venice Film Fest opener 'Birdman'
Wednesday - 8/27/2014, 2:22pm EDT
Associated Press
VENICE, Italy (AP) -- Well before the turn of the millennium, Michael Keaton was the first 21st-century superhero.
Keaton's role as Batman in two Tim Burton-directed blockbusters a quarter of a century ago made him a global star, and helped spawn a Hollywood obsession with comic-book franchises that has put a generation of leading men into spandex.
Whether that was good for the movies, or the stars, is at the heart of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)," which opened the 71st Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.
The soul-searching supernatural comedy-drama stars Keaton as Riggan Thomson, an over-the-hill actor, once famous as avian superhero Birdman, struggling to regain his self-worth by mounting a heavyweight Broadway play.
So how much Michael Keaton is there in Thomson?
"That's the giant elephant in the room," the actor conceded in a Venice press conference. But, he added, he'd recently been to Africa and was very fond of elephants.
Keaton, 62, insisted he's happy with his place in movie history, but said the credit for reshaping superhero movies should go to Burton.
"It's been copied, sliced up, what Tim did -- more than cocaine from a cartel," Keaton said. "He changed a lot and I was part of that, and proudly so."
The movie gets much of its verve from the major parallels between the careers of Keaton and his character. Thomson worries that he is stuck in the 90s -- "I'm an answer to a Trivial Pursuit question," he laments -- and has had to watch younger actors such as Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Fassbender take his place.
Inarritu, whose earlier films include "Babel" and "21 Grams," said he cast Keaton in part because he was one of the "few people in the world (who) has authority to talk about that" experience.
"Birdman" is one of 20 films competing for the Golden Lion top prize at the festival, which runs to Sept. 6. Whether or not it wins, many critics predicted it would be a hit -- and re-energize Keaton's career. Variety labeled Keaton's performance "the comeback of the century," while Britain's Daily Telegraph called the movie "grand, spectacular, star-powered cinema."
It is a genuinely unusual film that mixes backstage comedy, philosophical musing and explosive special effects.
Keaton's character is torn between his desire to make high art -- with a stage play based on a story by Raymond Carver -- and an instinct to tell art to take a hike and focus on fame. His baser instincts are voiced by his Birdman alter-ego, who seems to live inside his head, and at times follows him around.
"I wanted the humor to come from his solemn ambitions to succeed, despite this reality that is proving to him that he will never do it," Inarritu said. "Which is basically the story of every human being, every one of us, every day."
Keaton said his character is "wonderfully pathetic and at the same time noble," and his foibles are matched by those of the other characters.
Edward Norton plays an actor who is talented and obnoxious in equal measure, Emma Stone is Thomson's disillusioned daughter and Amy Ryan his ex-wife. Naomi Watts, Andrea Riseborough and Zach Galifianakis play members of the troupe trying to put on the play.
"Birdman'''s cinematographer is Emmanuel Lubezki, who won an Academy Award for "Gravity," but it's style is light years from that high-tech space thriller.
Shot in long takes full of movement and zingy dialogue, the film sometimes feels like it could be by Robert Altman or even Woody Allen, though Inarritu's surrealist sensibility adds spice.
Keaton said he was frequently "petrified." Stone -- no stranger to superheroes from "The Amazing Spider-Man" films -- fared even worse: "I developed an eye twitch."
"I was terrified," she said. "And when it ended all I wanted to do was go back and do it again."

Joni Montgomery needs a guy to pretend to be her boyfriend long enough to persuade certain family members to let up on the marriage thing. Her last hope is a blind date. Carter Sullivan is tall, gorgeous and agreeable to her scheme. Perfect! He's also too tempting for Joni to resist. But a little between-the-sheets time will just make their brief charade more believable, right?
Carter believes in love at first sight. And when he meets the beautiful, sexy Joni, he falls hard and fast. Too bad she's insisting this relationship is temporary. After some steamy embraces, he's convinced she feels the same way about him even if she won't admit it. Fine. He'll just tantalize her senses until she says she wants him, too!
She put the phone back to her ear and tried to sound calm. "Now, Mama, maybe you misunderstood. G.P. couldn't possibly be coming here this time of year. She's always in Charlotte for the V.A. Air Show."
"I wish I was wrong, but I know what she said. Your grandmother Pettigrew is coming to San Antonio in two weeks and she's staying until she finds you a husband."
Joni ground her teeth and thrust one hand into the pocket of her nurse's smock. She could have sworn she'd stashed some samples of extra-strength headache pills there earlier. All of a sudden, she could feel a mother of a headache coming on. "Why does she have to do this now? In fact, why does she have to do this at all? Doesn't she think I can find my own man?"
"Apparently not. She said she's waited twenty-six years and she's not going to wait any longer for you to find a suitable husband."
Joni squeezed against the counter to allow an EKG cart to pass. "Mama, you know thekind of man G.P. thinks is suitable." She closed her eyes, picturing the parade of race-car drivers, fighter pilots and bull riders her grandmother had sent her way. There'd even been one bomb demolition expert. Give a man a dangerous job or a reckless attitude and he was prime husband material as far as G.P. was concerned.
"She thinks you need more excitement in your life."
"Being an emergency department nurse isn't exciting enough?" Joni looked at the row of crash carts ready for use, the curtained exam rooms and the half-dozen doctors and nurses moving busily among them. One Saturday night around this place made a person long for the mundane and ordinary.
"What's wrong with a boring man?" she asked.
"You married a boring man." Joni's father was a tax assessor whose idea of excitement was Friday night at the video store.
"Your father may seem boring to you, but he's actually very romantic."
Joni resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Her entire family was addicted to romance, leaving Joni the odd woman out. "Romance is overrated," she said, not for the first time. Other things were much more important in a relationship: dependability, stability, integrity. Things she hadn't found in the right combination yet, but she was sure she would, given time to do things her own way.
"Romance is not overrated to your grandmother. And not to you, if you'd only admit it."
Joni groaned. "I won't do it, Mama. I won't marry some adrenaline junkie just to please G.P."
"You'll have to discuss that with her when she gets here. I only called to warn you."
"Thanks, Mama. For the warning, anyway." She hung up the phone and slumped against the counter. She'd scream, but that tended to upset the patients. So she settled for reaching behind the counter and helping herself to the staff supply of M&M's. Headache pills were fine for some things, but serious crises called for chocolate.
"Joni, we need a hand over here."
Soon, both Joni's hands were occupied giving a breathing treatment to a thirteen-year-old girl who'd had an allergic reaction to peanuts. While she monitored the girl's vitals and waited for the treatment to take effect, Joni considered her options.
She could leave town. But she only had a week's accumulated vacation, and she couldn't afford to travel very far. G.P. would either stay in town until Joni returned or come looking for her.
She could refuse to cooperate. After all, she was a grown woman in the United States of America. The idea of her grandmother choosing a husband for her was ridiculous.
Except that G.P. wrote the book on stubborn. She'd simply smile and keep going her own way, and the next thing Joni knew, she'd be standing at the altar with a motorcycle stunt rider or a professional mountain climber by her side.
She checked the oxygen sensor attached to the girl's index finger. "You're doing really good," she said, patting the child's shoulder. "Keep breathing."
If running away and putting her foot down didn't work, that left one other choice: she had to convince her grandmother that she already had a man in her life. That G.P. didn't have to hunt up a husband for her granddaughter, because marriage was already imminent.
All she had to do was find a guy to hang out with for the week or so G.P. was in town.
She looked around the room for likely candidates. There was that good-looking new resident.... No, residents worked killer hours. Even if he could get an evening free to take her out, he'd likely fall asleep.
The paramedic from Lone Star Ambulance? She made a face. G.P. would love him. He raced motorcycles when he wasn't careening through the streets behind the wheel of an ambulance. No thanks.
Her gaze lit on a policeman at the front desk. He was kind of cute, in those motorcycle boots and tight pants.... No! Definitely not a cop. Cops were the worst adrenaline junkies of all. Her friend Connie had married a cop. And since her husband was always involved in an investigation or doing off-duty work, Connie was practically raising their three sons by herself.
There you had it. The reason she didn't have a man in her life was that all the men she met were too involved in their jobs. She wanted a man who would be there for her and their children - not someone who spent all his time risking his life, even if it was to save mankind.
A plump, curly-haired woman pulled back the curtain and peered into the treatment room. "Mandy, are you okay?"
Mandy, who had been doing just fine until that moment, burst into tears. "Mama!"
The woman rushed forward and gathered the girl in a hug. "I came as soon as the school called."
Joni stepped back to allow mother and daughter a little more privacy. Five years as a nurse hadn't inured her to such scenes. What was more special than the bond between mother and child? It was a bond she intended to experience for herself one day, as soon as she found the right man to stand by her side.

A nurse at San Antonio's Santa Rosa Hospital, Joni Montgomery knows a Code Blue emergency has just hit home when her mama warns her that Grandmother ¿GP¿ Pettigrew is visiting her in two weeks with plans to stay until her granddaughter is married. Joni not only does not wish to have a husband at this time, she worries that the type of male GP will foster on her is that of a hunk with a dangerous job and a reckless attitude. Joni needs a fake boyfriend to con GP into leaving town. She has no prospects so she turns to blind date Carter Sullivan who readily agrees to be her pretend beau.
However, Carter has his own agenda as this cop now fully believes in love at first sight. He plans to go along with Joni¿s scheme to fool GP until he persuades her to make the sham real even if it means enlisting GP¿s help.
The theme of using phony lovers to spin duplicity to fool a meddling beloved older family member has been used numerous times but this remains a fun contemporary romance. The story line works because GP seems so genuine, a wonderful, caring, kind, obstinate busybody. Everyone except the female protagonist will agree that the lead duo belongs together and that M&Ms are great (aphrodisiacs?).

Wow! What a fantastic love story, from beginning to end. For a woman to throw herself at a man, just for the sake of having her grandmother get off her back, about getting married, then have him go along with it, all the way, and loving her at the same time, wow, don't we all wish for that. This one's a keeper. I only wish that it could have extended a little more into the engagement, wedding and perhaps babies. I see a sequel to this story.Was this review helpful?

North run sends Henderson south
Pauley, Chambers ignite for Huskies
There comes a point in a game when North is playing well like it did Tuesday against visiting Henderson County, when the Huskies are simply going to take off like a team possessed.
"We needed to play well for an entire game and we did that tonight," said North coach Scot Bunnell. "I thought we played well for the entire 32 minutes. But there's no question this team is going to make runs."
North certainly made one Tuesday, blowing open a one-point game halfway through the third quarter with a 28-6 spurt that paved the way for an easier-than-expected 65-39 win.
The decisive run for the Huskies (6-6) came after the Colonels' Rick Armstead hit a 3-pointer on the assist from Gavont Baker to cut the North lead to 28-27 with 4:30 to play in the third quarter.
"We were right there," said Henderson County coach Mark Starns, "I thought we played well for three quarters, but you've got to play well for four. I didn't think our defensive intensity was there at all in the fourth quarter."
The game swung before that. North answered Armstead's trey with a 7-0 run that started when Mike Johnson drove the lane for a basket. But it continued courtesy of the Huskies' backcourt, junior Jaylen Chambers and senior Ty Pauley, who didn't miss a shot between them from the floor in the second half.
Each was 5-for-5 from the field, but Pauley's included three 3-pointers to give him 15 points after intermission and 20 points for the game.
"I haven't had a shooting half like that this year," said Pauley, who added eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals. "I think it came from the bench tonight. When the coaches got on us, we responded."
Chambers, who finished with a game-high 25 points, thought the coaches were key, too.
"Our coaches just told us to keep fighting, to keep doing what we do," he said.
"We were just trying to stay in shots and stay aggressive. I was more aware of my shots in the second half, too."
Said Pauley: "We just took better shots. But we also worked hard to get each other open and it paid off."
North led 40-32 to start the fourth quarter when Pauley took a pass from Chambers and hit a 3-pointer. Then Chambers immediately made a steal that resulted in a 3-point play and the Colonels (11-12) were reeling.
"I thought our defense was outstanding tonight," said Bonnell. "We made them work hard for what they got and we also created a lot of our offense off steals and deflections. You cannot deny we play in streaks."
Henderson County shot poorly from the floor (15 of 45 for 33 percent) and the free throw line (7 of 13 for 54 percent). The Colonels also had 16 turnovers.
Just one of the visitors struck for double figures, Armstead with 11 points.
Pauley said the Huskies are still getting used to the gym in their sparkling new facility.

Houston Rockets leading race to get Corey Brewer
The Houston Rockets may be the leader in the race to acquire Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Corey Brewer, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

"I worked on a film called Swing Dance, so I knew the rhythms, I knew the music. When Husband enters The Savoy, you should feel kind of excited and maybe a little frightened. Here's this country boy entering this special place. I looked at a lot of stills of the actual ballroom when it was empty and that was the first time I had a feeling of the expansive physical space of it. And you should feel that from the scene, you should get that information."
"Some of the scenes in the film are simple. They have one or two setups -- choice of camera angle, shot size and staging. A dance sequence like The Savoy scene was shot with two cameras and many setups. Each setup is labeled A,B,C, and so on. So we shoot the stage, we shoot the dancers, we shoot Husband coming in, we shoot Bucket watching Lou Bessie and Husband and we shoot another set of dancers. I think the setups go to J."
"What you're looking at is part of the Savoy Ballroom sequence. Lou Bessie spots her hometown boyfriend Husband, who has come up to Harlem to find her. Her new boyfriend Bucket watches their encounter from across the ballroom.
In the first version of the scene, I cut back and forth from Lou Bessie and Husband talking to Bucket watching them. But Debbie wanted to emphasize Bucket taking it all in. She wanted the audience to know they should be a little bit afraid of him, to know that he's a bad guy. We shifted the focus to show more of Bucket's side of the room.
Once you've established the fact that Bucket is looking at them, we only see him and his friends. We see Bucket watching them kind of like they're prey. It's more ominous that way because you don't know what he's going to do. You don't relieve the tension by cutting away. Cutaways relieve tension by equalizing the scene.
Most often the director chooses the best performance, the best take. But you're always looking for nuance. In this instance, we don't know what's going on inside of Bucket's head, but we know he's the new man. And the old man has come up to his territory. Bucket is an extremely attractive character, so the audience will respond to that, but they are being asked to look beyond that to what's going on inside. Focussing on him brings out that sense of an interior to be explored."

U-Pick Farms
Do you like fruits and vegetables? Have you ever picked your own? There are many U-Pick farms opened from June through October.
Strawberry picking begins around the middle of June and lasts usually three weeks.
I picked strawberries at Rowe's in Ypsilant. Rowe's also has sugar peas and green beans for picking later in the summer. I began picking raspberries at Rowe's in late August. Raspberry picking is available usually from mid August through the second week of October. I make pies and jam with the raspberries each year.
Our family often take some grandchildren blueberry picking in July and August. We pick at Dexter Blueberry Farm in Dexter, MI. Blueberries are very easy to freeze and they stay firm when you thaw them later to put into muffins or on your cereal.

And shifting rocks proved unsafe for drilling. The rover will continue driving toward Mount Sharp, departing Bonanza King without drilling, skirting Hidden Valley along a plateau to its north.

Common WordPress Installation Issues
Missing style sheet error when installing the theme
A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing" error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the sliding effect be turned off for the top menu to always keep it open and not just give the user the option to do that?
Yes, you can freeze the top menu in the open position in the back-end from the theme options panel.
I have uploaded the theme archive "Fuji_Installable" yet when I try to activate the theme it shows an error message or an empty screen. What is wrong?
This means that your server settings do not allow the theme to read the main theme options .xml file. Please update the permission settings to at least "write and read" for all files in the theme folder via your hosting account or, if allowed, via your FTP account.
I have uploaded the theme but upon pressing "activate" the system returns a white screen and the website stops working. What the hell is wrong?!
Don't panic The problem is that your hosting server ran out of php memory, so it just broke the website when you tried to install an additional item. What needs to be done is to add the following line to wp-config.php file in the root folder of the WordPress website: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M'); If this does not work, try doubling the figure in the brackets; it still broken, contact me and I will help you!
I uploaded the theme using WordPress' built-in back-end theme uploader and it shows the message "Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again." What went wrong?
Please upload the unzipped theme folder ("Fuji_Installable") into the "wp-content – themes" directory via FTP – some hosting providers have small file upload limits for user convenience which limits the usage of WordPress' internal theme uploader.
How do I get the Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Rss, etc logos to show up in the top right hand side of the page like in the theme preview?
In order to show social buttons in the header, please go to "Appearance – Widgets" admin menu and drag the "Social Media Widget" into the "Header Widgets" area on the right. By expanding the widget you can customize which icons to show and add links to your social profiles. If you wish to keep the icon appearance as in the theme demo, be sure to choose "Default (x32)" in the "Icon Size" dropdown and "Fuji Theme Icons" in the "Icon Pack" dropdown.
How do I set up a drop-down submenu?
Both menus in Fuji support submenus – just go to "Appearance – Menus" for configuration interface. Submenus are created by dragging any menu item a bit to the right, so that they "stick" under one of the first-level menu items.
I have tried adding images for the Image Slider, but all it does is leave a big black rectangle with the circle moving in the middle. Its not seeing my pictures I've uploaded.
Be sure you've been adding the slide pictures through the slide upload fields in the "Theme Options" menu. Also, do not forget to choose "File URL " in the "Link URL " field while in the image uploader.
How do I create a categories menu like the one below the header in the theme demo?
To make a category menu, go to "Appearance – Menus", press the plus tab in the right-hand box, enter the menu name and hit "Create Menu" to make a new menu. Then scroll down and in the left corner you'll see the "Categories" box – pick the ones you need and and hit "Add to Menu". Then scroll up and in the "Theme Locations" box choose your menu from the dropdown that says "Main Menu Above Content".
Can the sliding effect be turned off for the top menu to always keep it open and not just give the user the option to do that?
Yes, sure, you can freeze the top menu in the open position in the back-end from the theme options panel.
How can I change the height of the header image (static image mode)?
Since Fuji is a responsive theme, both the width and the height of the header image needed to be fixed in order to show correctly on different devices, including smartphones and tablets (try resizing the browser to see what I mean) – so they cannot be changed from the theme admin. However, the height of the header image can still be changed by implementing a simple change in the code: I'd need to go to "Appearance – Editor" menu, click on the "lessframework.css" file from the right list (one of the bottom-most entries), and add these lines of code into the textarea, below everything else:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1020px) { #header-image, #header-image img { height: 330px !important; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 1020px) and (min-width: 767px) { #header-image, #header-image img { height: 242px !important; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) and (min-width: 480px) { #header-image, #header-image img { height: 150px !important; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 479px) { #header-image, #header-image img { height: 100px !important; } }
..and replace the numbers after the "height:" selectors with your desired parameters; then click "Save".
