As one of the five best-known mountains in China, Mount Huashan is located to the south of Huayin city, 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, in Shaanxi province, with an elevation of 2200 meters above sea level.
In ancient times, Mount Huashan was called Mt. Taihuashan. Seen from afar, the five peaks looks like five petals of a flower. Hence its name, Mount Huashan (= five flowers). Today, it is listed as one of the renowned national scenic spots.
Mount Huashan is famous for its breath-taking cliffs. Along the12-kilometer-long winding path up to the top are awe-inspiring precipices, looking into which will take your breath away. Among the five peaks, East Peak (Facing Sun Peak), West Peak (Lotus Peak) and South Peak (Dropping Goose Peak) are comparatively high. Standing at the top of East Peak, one can enjoy the rising sun early in the morning. West Peak, in resemblance to a lotus flower, is the most graceful peak in Mount Huashan.
In addition, there are Middle Peak(Jade Maiden Peak) and North Peak (Clouds Stand). The middle peak got its name because of a story telling that once a young lady rode a white horse among the mountains. North Peak, like a flat platform in the clouds, is the place where the story Capturing Mount Huashan Wisely took place.
Mount Huashan boasts lot of places of interest. Here and there stand Buddhist and Taoist temples, pavilions and buildings as well as sculptures and engravings. Of the ruins, Yuquan (Jade Spring), Zhenwu Palace, and Jintian Palace are, comparatively speaking, famous. Xiyue Temple, seven kilometers north of Mount Huashan is the place where people of ancient times paid tribute to the Mount Huashan God.
Along the cliff of South Peak is a planked path equipped with an iron chain, with the help of which, adventurers can walk on the frightful path. There is a giant rock in front of Cuiyun Palace on West Peak. As it takes the shape of a lotus flower, the mountain is also called Lotus Peak.
As legend has it, Chen Xiang, a filial young man, once split the mountain and rescued his mother out of it. Now a crack can b witnessed in a giant rock beside Cuiyun Palace as if an axe made it. Thus, the rock is called "Axe-splitting Rock," beside which is a huge axe with a long handle. The northwest side of the peak is called Fatal Cliff for it is as steep as if it was cut by a sharp sword.
North Peak, with cliffs on three sides, has only one road leading to the south. From here one goes south to Ca'er Precipice, the fourth most dangerous place along the only path in Mount Huashan. The cliff path is less than 30 centimeters wide, and faces such a deep valley that the tourists have to edge along carefully. Then one comes to Sky-leading Ladder, Sun and Moon Precipice and the well-known Blue Dragon Mountain.
East Peak, with a rising-sun platform favorable for viewing the morning sun, is also called Facing Sun Peak. As the sun emerges from the sea of clouds, one cannot help but show great admiration.

Perhaps you wish your first name was Trigonometry. Well, wish no longer, people! If you'd like to know what your name would be if you happened to be the spawn of Caribou Barbie, wonder no longer, the answer's right here! My name would be Pistol Tanker Palin. Please leave your name in the comments if you partake.
The insomnia I told you about earlier? Well, it's kicking. my. ass. I'm going to get an appointment with my primary care physician this week to chat about it. I don't want to get hooked on sleeping pills but maybe taking one once in a while when I just need to rest would be okay. For now, I've popped some magnesium (since I am told that magnesium deficiency can cause insomnia) and I'm going to take some benadryl before bed. I hope this helps!
That's all.

Gangadhar, MD, assistant professor in the division of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center, spoke to Medscape about a new study investigating the use of the MEK inhibitor selumetinib in uveal melanoma. Tumor responses were better and progression-free survival time was longer with the drug over chemotherapy—but there was no benefit to overall survival. This "confirms that this drug does have activity in uveal melanoma; however, we need to continue to make clinical advances to improve outcomes in these patients," Gangadhar said. "The high rate of adverse events is similar to that seen with other targeted therapies; the toxicities were mild and were manageable in most patients."

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - An online auction of more than 8,100 state-owned items has begun.
The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department launched the online auction Monday to sell unclaimed property in the state's possession. Items include rare coins to old comic books.
The online auction follows a live event Saturday that attracted more than 500 people to the Albuquerque Convention Center.
The auctions are the first of their kind in nearly 20 years, though New Mexico law requires that the state auctions off unclaimed items within three years of their discovery.
The two sales are estimated to bring in $800,000-$1.5 million for the state. That money will go back into the state's general fund.
To view the items that will be at the New Mexico Taxation & Revenue unclaimed property auction, go to http://auctionsouthwest.com/

Two off as Coleraine cruise it
Coleraine 3 Ballymena Utd 1
Published 27/01/2010 | 13:33
Coleraine crushed nine-man Ballymena United with two late goals at the Ballycastle Road Showgrounds.
Winger Stephen Carson and substitute Stephen Dooley sent United reeling after the visitors had two players sent off in a lively derby.
Sky Blues' defender Chris Ramsey was red carded for a crunching first half challenge on Coleraine striker Rory Patterson and then referee Alan Black dismissed former Bannsiders' midfielder Noel Anderson for simulation following a challenge from home defender Kyle McVey.
Coleraine, the league's top scorers, surged into a second minute lead. Keeper Davy O'Hare easily dealt with Gary Haveron's free kick and released the ball for Patterson who swung a speedy delivery for Darren Boyce who beat dithering United keeper Sean O'Neill on the edge of the box and then steered a low shot into the net.
United lost left back Lee Colligan to injury, stretchered off after a 50-50 challenge with defender Howard Beverland and it got worse for Roy Walker's team as the red mist came down on Ramsey 60 seconds later.
United's persistence was finally rewarded as super-sub David Cushley beat O'Hare from 16 yards, converting Anderson's pin-point flick on the hour.
United's luck completely ran out in the 77th minute. Patterson eased a pass to Stephen Carson when he found his route to goal blocked and the winger stepped inside before directing a right foot ground shot into the bottom right hand corner of the net.
Substitute Dooley picked up a Patterson pass to easily beat O'Neill in the 87th minute.
The game was briefly interrupted in injury-time as two missiles were thrown at home keeper O'Hare from the United enclosure.
COLERAINE: O'Hare, Beverland (Gibson 76), Hegarty, McVey, Mukendi, Boyce, Harkin, McCallion, Tommons (Dooley 67) Carson, Patteron. Subs. McLaughlin, Tolan, Canning.
BALLYMENA UNITED: O'Neill, Smith, Colligan (Cushley 30), Haveron, Alb. Watson, Ramsey, Stewart, Carson (McNeill 80), Surgenor, Kelbie (McCaughern 85), Anderson. Subs. Nelson (GK), Taggart.
Referee: Alan Black (Antrim).

Coach Dan Laak, Laura Ryan
March 11, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. --- Georgia diver Laura Ryan won the women's 3-meter springboard title on Monday at the Zone B Championships, securing her place in next week's NCAA Championships.
Ryan, the SEC champion on 3-meter, scored 356.55 points in prelims and 345.95 in finals for a total of 702.50. North Carolina State's Rachel Mumma, Tennessee's Jodie McGroarty and Miami's Carrie Dragland placed second through fourth and also qualified for the NCAAs, which will be held March
21-23 in Indianapolis.
"Laura did exactly what she needed to do," Georgia diving coach Dan Laak said. "She was strong on her first list and built up a lead of about 20 points, then she was solid on her second list. I'm pretty proud of her for hanging in there and doing what it took to make it to next week."
The Lady Bulldogs' Ann-Perry Blank advanced to the finals and came in 13th with a total of 592.25 points. Ansley Long (255.90) and Darcie O'Brien (238.45) were 26th and 31st, respectively, in prelims.
Ryan will join Georgia's 17 swimmers at the NCAAs. The remaining Georgia divers can qualify on 1-meter on Tuesday or platform on Wednesday. Said Laak, "Our divers are into the flow of the meet now, and we're hoping for big things as we move forward."

Lavar Johnson Cut From The UFC For Failed Drug Test | UFC NEWS
Lavar Johnson, failed a drug test following UFC 157 bout opposite Brendan Schaub which ended in a unanimous decision loss. An elevated testestosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio of 6.6-to-1 triggered a carbon isotope ratio (CIR) test that confirmed Johnson had testosterone in his system that "was consistent with the administration of a steroid."
A rep for American Kickboxing Academy – where Johnson trains out of. said the fighter may seek an exemption for the treatment. Johnson, however failed to disclose TRT on a pre-fight medical questionnaire. Johnson's recent conversation with the California State Athletic Commission which oversaw the Feb. 23 pay-per-view event at Honda Center in Anaheim, Ca admitted he was undergoing testosterone replacement therapy and suspended him.

UK release date given to the LG Optimus 4X HD quad-core smartphone, officially announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year
The LG Optimus 4X HD has been given an official release date in June for the UK, with the company promising that it will roll out the device across Europe, followed by countries in Asia, CIS, South and Central America in the coming months.
The Optimus 4X HD was officially announced by LG at the Mobile World Congress in February and joined the Huawei Ascend D Quad as the latest handsets to pack double the processing power.
LG's first quad-core smartphone was first outed on the company's website in early February but was given an official airing in Barcelona. It joined the Huawei Ascend D Quad as the latest high-powered handsets on the market.
Packing some monster specs this Ice Cream Sandwich iPhone 5 rival was unveiled at LG's launch event in Barcelona.
LG Optimus 4X HD Specs
Under the hood you'll find a mammoth 1.5GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor all of which will then be aided by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
Displaying all this power is a 4.7-inch 1280x720p IPS True HD screen which not only puts it directly in line to rival the current Samsung Galaxy Nexus but will also make it the second handset to have a true HD screen.
LG have made the decision to go with Android Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system marking it as their first ICS smartphone straight out of the box.
On the back you'll find what appears to be a 8MP snapper with a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calls etc, no word as yet on what other functions the camera will have.
LG Optimus 4X HD features
The LG Optimus 4X HD features advanced 'Companion Core' technology developed by LG which reduces the number of processing cores it uses when operating small tasks such as web browsing or texting.
However, when tasks such as HD movie playback or gaming are in operation the smartphone will then utiise the full quad-cores, thus saving on battery.
In addition you'll also find MHL (Mobile High Definition Link) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) connectivity which will make outputting high-definition video even easier.
LG Optimus 4X HD release date
The LG Optimus 4X HD will be release in Europe next month which would put it directly in line to compete with other handsets such as the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Apple iPhone 5.

Top Stories
Finding your focus abroadBefore this semester technically started, during Study Abroad and Erasmus (European Union students studying in another EU university for the semester) orientation, we had a few-hour talk from Andy Steves. He's an American who has started his own college-student-oriented weekend tours. Essentially, it is built specifically for students studying abroad and crams as much into each weekend as possible.
To be honest, I didn't pay extremely close attention, as I already had my weekend trips planned out in my mind. When he started speaking about why he enjoyed travelling so much in the first place, though, I was completely drawn in. See, what he spoke about was focusing more on the people you encounter while abroad rather than spending all of your time staring at this cathedral or that monument.
Bearing this in mind, this past Saturday I took my first day trip to the Irish village of Adare. This is a town known, essentially, for being beautiful. We're talking thatched roof cottages, one-of-a-kind boutiques, buildings in every pastel color you can imagine and amazing castle ruins right on the water. So yes, I took an obscene amount of pictures. I spent my money on antique trinkets, presents for friends at Susquehanna, hilarious cards to send home and a wool scarf (that I've worn every day since).
I also spent a solid half hour chatting with the owner of a fair trade art gallery. We talked about global production rights and about my studies here and back in the States. We covered art, music, popular fiction, and I even got to explain slam poetry to him.
I got to speak with the owner of an antique shop because she saw the grin on my face when I came across copies of a newspaper that are over 200 years old and, somehow, still legible and beautiful. She told me about her childhood hopes of becoming a poet and showed me the small journal she keeps in her purse. She even admitted that her husband doesn't know about the journal.
There was the woman I bought a pearl headband from who chatted me up about hair color, there was the bus driver that didn't realize study abroad students chose Limerick over Dublin and there was the waitress who gave us hot chocolates for free because she overheard our joking conversation concerning the fact that we've now had hot cocoa in three counties.
I've carried this focus on people into my classes as well. I had my first Irish language class this week and had wonderful conversation (between hysterical mispronunciations) with an English woman whose Dutch husband moved to Limerick with her just a year ago.
I'm here to see the sights and take pictures, yes. I'm here to experience what I can translate back into my writing, and to maybe even find a slam in Dublin to compete in. But more than anything else, I want to meet new people, hear their experiences and maybe even share a few of my own.

A. Granger Al!0rne vMcNenny, Farrington, Pearne and Gordon ABSTRACT: For use in a fourdrinier section of a paper machine and/or the felt section of such a machine, a replacement for the fourdrinier wire and/or the felt which comprises a sheet of synthetic, open-celled, flexible foam such as polyurethane foam. According to one aspect of this invention, the foam may be reticulated to provide greater porosity. 1f the foam is employed as a fourdrinier wire, the foam is provided with a reinforcing backing means which provides longitudinal strength but does not interfere with the porosity of the foam.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION paper-making The fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine includes a fourdrinier wire which is a wire cloth woven from metal such as phosphor bronze or synthetic fiber cloth. The fourdrinier wire allows drainage of the white water, but retains fibers. The principal materials employed in fourdrinier wire construction comprise specially annealed phosphor bronze and brass which are finely drawn to 0.010 to 0.040 inch in diameter and woven into a web of 50 to I50 mesh. The wire is woven into a web at a rate of 4 to 6 linear feet per day due to the stiffness and the fragile nature of the wire. Furthermore, since the fourdrinier wire is an endless belt, the warp wires must be brazed or welded end to end to produce a seam having the same strength as the base material and the same porosity as the remainder of the wire. Each warp wire must, therefore, be brazed end to end.
A further problem involved in employing a woven wire in the fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine is the problem of short wire life, which is due principally to corrosion and abrasion. Typically, wire life may be from to 50 days. When a wire is to be replaced, the papermaking machine must be shut down, and in older machines it is necessary to remove the table rolls, suction boxes, wire rolls, etc. from the fourdrinier frame. Newer machines are built with cantilevered or rollout fourdrinier tables which facilitate wire-changing operations. Such machines, however, are quite expensive.
Since the fourdrinier wire is quite fragile, it will not tolerate squeezing pressures, which may aid in removing the white water from the pulp. Although dandy rolls are employed to flatten out the top surface of the sheet which is laid on the fourdrinier wire, the dandy roll exerts relatively little pressure on the wire. Therefore, the white water is removed from the pulp by gravity flow and suction boxes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides a replacement for a finely woven, metallic fourdrinier wire which comprises a synthetic, opencelled, flexible foam having porosity characteristics which are equal to the porosity characteristics of woven fourdrinier wires. The fourdrinier foam according to this invention may be a polyurethane foam and, according to a preferred aspect of this invention, may be a polyether or polyester foam which has been reticulated to skeletal structures according to the teachings found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,175,025, granted Mar. 23, 1965, to Geen et al., or may be a polyester foam which has been reticulated by alkaline solutions by kneading the foam in percent caustic soda solution at 50 C. and then washing the treated foam with dilute acetic acid and water.
Fourdrinier foam according to this invention eliminates the end-to-end seaming problem, the weaving problem, and the short life problem, and minimizes material cost. Furthermore, the fourdrinier foam according to this invention has a compressive strength which will permit the application of roll pressure to the pulp to drive white water out of the pulp. A particularly advantageous feature of the present invention is the fact that the fourdrinier foam may be foamed in place on a supporting belt without removing the belt from the fourdrinier table, thus eliminating long machine downtimes and dismantling operations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. I is a diagrammatic view of the fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine showing a fourdrinier foam mounted thereon.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a length of fourdrinier foam produced in accordance with one aspect of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a section of fourdrinier foam produced in accordance with a further aspect of this invenuon.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a section of fourdrinier foam produced in accordance with a still further aspect of this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings, FIG. I diagrammatically illustrates the use of fourdrinier foam as a replacement for the conventional fourdrinier wire. The foam comprises an endless belt 10 which is trained around and between a breast roll II and a couch roll 12 on the fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine. A plurality of table rolls 13 supports the belt 10 as a flat surface 13 allowing uniform drainage through the foam. Suction boxes 14 are employed to complete water drainage and dewater the pulp so that it can be self-supporting when it is delivered to the felt section of the papermaking machine.
The synthetic, open-celled, flexible foam forming the belt 10 is, preferably, an open-celled, polyurethane foam. The foam may be either polyether or polyester. The polyester foam may be produced by reacting a polyester with an organic isocyanate, such as tolylemediisocyanate, in the presence of an activator mixture. A polyether foam may be produced by reacting a polyol with an organic isocyanate, such as the previously mentioned isocyanate. These foams may be reticulated or reduced to a skeletal structure by utilizing a hydrolyzing agent, such as sodium hydroxide, to remove cell membranes. These foams may also be reticulated by subjecting the foam to a light pulse of sufficient intensity to remove the cell membranes. Such techniques are set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,175,030 and 3,175,025, granted to Geen and Geen et al.. respectively.
Urethane foams have a structure which is similar to a screen. This is particularly true in the case of reticulated foam where the membranes between the cell structure are removed in accordance with the technique set forth above. White water has been successfully removed from a 99 percent water and l percent fiber slurry to produce a mat having an even distribution of fibers over the surface of the foam by employing a reticulated foam having a thickness of 3/l6 inch and having approximately 60 pores to the inch. The mat produced has properties similar to mats produced by a 60-mesh wire screen. A microscopic study of the mat produced according to the present invention revealed that, as to fiber orientation and strength characteristics, there is no difi'erence between such mat and mat produced on a wire screen. Furthermore, the mat exhibited less marking by the pore structure of the foam.
When used as a replacement for fourdrinier wire, foam must be reinforced, since foam does not have the tensile characteristics to be used in place of fourdrinier wire. Therefore, as is illustrated in FIG. 2, a fourdrinier belt 10a comprises polyurethane foam 15, which is reinforced by polyester cables l6 which extend in the direction of belt travel. The cable 16 may be bonded to the foam 15 by well-known heat-bonding procedures, or the foam may be foamed around the cables during the manufacture of the foam. If an in-place foaming operation is employed, it may be conducted after the cables are stretched between the breast roll 11 and the couch roll I2 without dismantling the machine.
According to a further aspect of this invention, and as is shown in FIG. 3, the foam 15 may be bonded to a coarse wire screen 17 to form a fourdrinier belt Mb. The foam 15 may be bonded to the screen or may be foamed in place in the manner indicated above.
According to a still further aspect of this invention, a fourdrinier belt 100 is illustrated in FIG. 4. The belt 10: comprises a thin, flexible metal or plastic sheet l8 having a multiplicity of apertures 19 therethrough. The foam 15 may be bonded to the sheet 18, or may be foamed in place, as indicated above.
Although the use of foam has been described herein as a replacement for the fourdrinier wire in the fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine, it should be appreciated that such foam may also be employed in the press section of the machine as a replacement for the conventional blanketlike webs made of wool and synthetic fibers. The ability of polyurethane foam to resist roll pressure during the various squeezing operations makes such foam suited as a replacement for the conventional press felt webs.
It should further be appreciated that the conventional fourdrinier table section and the pressuresection of the papennaking machine may be combined, since the fourdrinier foam is adapted to withstand roll pressure as indicated above.
The invention, therefore, is not restricted to the slavish imitation of each and every detail set forth above. Obviously, devices may be produced which change, eliminate, or add certain details without departing from the scope of the invention.
l. A method of removing liquid from fibers in a papermaking process comprising the steps of depositing a slurry of liquid and fibers on a moving belt which comprises a flexible opencelled foam having a slurry-depositing surface consisting of said foam and an exposed opposite surface consisting of said foam, flowing the slurry onto the slurry-depositing surface and flowing the liquid through the open-celled foam from one surface to the exposed opposite surface while retaining fibers on the belt.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said belt is provided with longitudinal reinforcement means.
3. A method of removing liquid from fibers in a papermaking process comprising the step of extracting liquid from the fibers by pressing the liquid and the fibers against a flexible open-celled foam having a fiber-collecting surface consisting of said foam and an exposed opposite surface consisting of said foam so that the liquid passes through the foam to the exposed surface.
4. In the fourdrinier table section of a papermaking machine which has a breast roll and a couch roll, the improvement which comprises as the sole filter means an endless belt consisting of synthetic, open-celled, flexible foam trained between said rolls, said belt having longitudinal reinforcing means and having. an exposed free slurry-depositing surface and an exposed opposite surface both surfaces consisting of said foam, means for depositing a liquid-fiber slurry on said slurrydepositing surface whereby a fibrous phase of said slurry may be retained on said depositing surface and whereby a liquid phase of said slurry may pass directly through said belt to said exposed opposite surface.
5. The improvement according to claim 4 wherein said belt is an open-celled, flexible polyurethane foam.
6. The improvement according to claim 5 wherein said polyurethane foam has been reduced to a skeletal structure by removing cell membranes.

Board of Aldermen: Public Art Bill Passes, and a Reminder That Police Are Here to 'Protect and Serve'
Categories: Politics
|image via
Click behind the cut to hear more about the landmark public art bill, and more business from this week's meeting at City Hall.
This fund will be overseen by the Regional Arts Commission, and will provide for works of art within the City of St. Louis and at Lambert Airport, to reflect the civic pride residents feel, and to unify and beautify the city. The bill already had enough support to pass two weeks ago, but the legislative process meant that a final vote could not be held until today. Plus, the Krispy Kreme donuts that the bill's advocates brought along to that last meeting before voting the bill to the perfection consent calendar couldn't have lost them any support either.
Read the bill on the St. Louis city website. (The final version that passed is the 'committee substitute' link toward the bottom of the page, which will bring you to a PDF of the bill's language.)
In other Board of Aldermen news...
-Board Bills 219 and 220 had their first reading. If passed, all vehicles used by the Fire and Fire Prevention Divisions of the Department of Public Safety, as well as all vehicles used by the Metropolitan Police Department of the City of St. Louis would be required to have "to protect and serve" painted on them. What, like we'd mistake the police department's purpose to be something else? "To tase and profile," perhaps? "To eat pastry and intimidate"? Sponsored by 1st Ward Alderman Charles Troupe (yes, he of "drinking in public is only OK if you're on your lunch break" fame), we'll be waiting on the edge of our seats to see how much taxpayer money this meaningful venture will cost. Read the bills at Troupe's page.
-Thirteen other bills had their first reading today.
-The Aldermen applauded each other on Prop A's defeat within the city, despite the fact that it passed with a 68.4 percent majority statewide. This could be a hint that though the proposition passed, the cities that it impacts most will continue to fight against it when it's up for approval again.
-Among today's courtesy resolutions, the Board of Aldermen passed one congratulating the Nerinx Hall High School girls varsity golf team on qualifying for the state championship. Well done, golfers.
Tune in next week for more exciting news from the fast-paced world of local politics!

One of the best I've ever read.
No, seriously. I have some great favorites out there. East of Eden by John Steinbeck. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Kafka on the Shore by Murakami. And this goes up there with those literary greats. Why haven't I read this before now?
I can't even begin to share how wonderful of an adventure it was to read this book. Sure, it was on the long side…with over 1000 pages to read. It took me about two months to get through the entire thing, when most books take me more or less a week. But boy, did I not mind taking my sweet time. I felt that I was on as much of an adventure reading the book as the Count of Monte Cristo himself was over the time period that occurred. Halfway through the book, I already found myself reminiscing about some of the events that occurred much earlier in the story. It was that great.
The characters from the world of Alexandre Dumas are all deep and multidimensional. Even some of the characters who get little narrative time come fleshed out and deep and engrossing. There's so much under-the-surface material to work with, that if I were crazy enough, I could easily write some critical analysis papers on simply the minor characters in this story. Likewise, the plot intricacies are deeply embedded in one another, and it's deeply engrossing to unravel the finely woven fibers of detail that Dumas sets up.
I gasped. I chuckled. I was saddened. I went through a catharsis of emotion as I read each and every page of this wonderful story. If you have the time (and if you're on Goodreads, you obviously do), this is a must read that I highly recommend to anyone out there.
After reading several rave reviews about this book on Reddit, I decided to give it a try. What a journey! I started three weeks ago and finished it yesterday. In between this time, I became obsessed. All of my idle thoughts brought me back to the story of Edmond Dantes. I laughed, I cried, I received a brief history lesson on Europe in the 1800's.
The Count of Monte Cristo is very well written and flows beautifully (I read the Robin Buss translation, for reference). There are some descriptive passages that occasionally seem to drag on, but what is a novel if it is only action, action, action all the time and devoid of thought-provoking prose? I wavered between flying through the pages to see what might happen next to pausing and closing the book so I could contemplate what I had just read.
Here is a small sample of one of my favorite passages: "Well, my dear father, in the shipwreck of life – for life is an eternal shipwreck of our hopes – I throw all my useless baggage in the sea, that's all, and remain with my will, prepared to live entirely alone and consequently entirely free."
If only this book could have gone on forever. Loyally, I would have kept turning the pages for all eternity.
I feel like this had the potential to be excellent, but as it is, I feel I'm being generous giving it 4 stars. It was too long and I felt let down at the end. There were some really good parts, though--I loved the thematic elements like the revenge and the Count being a very mysterious, super-human type of man. Also, for as long as it is, the pacing is not bad at all. Things moved along surprisingly quickly.
Jamais li outro livro do mesmo tamanho. A experiência me reforçou como um dedicado rato de biblioteca, em vez de um leitor meramente casual. O enredo é tão absorvente que me senti novamente como uma criança de oito anos. Ao contrário de outros romances de Dumas, este tem muito pouco de swashbuckle, sendo mais um romance do tipo psicológico recheado de escapadas de última hora e aventuras quase letais. O final, como todo o mundo sabe, é um pouco demasiado up-beat, mas e daí? A vida é cheia de alegrias e maravilhas inesperadas.
I am aware how this doorstop from the past is accessible in its peerless translation to me...I, who found many ancient books boring and obscure and inaccessible to my contemporary mind. I acknowledge how certain parts of the book are delectable to read. Should that have been enough? Am I wrong in wanting the impossible from a book overtaken by obsolescence? I must hasten to state that the prose is modern but some ideas are clunky and outdated. But I don't regret in reading Monte Christo, because I need to tread trodden paths to recognize the merit in books that are humble and promise little, only to deliver on all counts.
The major problem of the book is that it requires us to be invested emotionally in all characters equally, without laying the foundation for us to care about the newer persons that appear in the book. The chapters dedicated to Abbe Faria are among the best I've read. This performance failed to reappear in the sometimes melodramatic meanderings of the middle and conclusive chapters. The more sentimental chapters remind me of an off form Dickens, or of a faithful Dickens, depending on your opinion.
Regardless of the complaints I have against Monte Christo, it's surprisingly modern and there are no cultural shockers here. It's just that sometimes the book takes on the form of ancient and boring texts, such as aesop's tales, the arabian nights, or the Odyssey. Narrators' characters narrate in their turn. Newcomers adopt painstakingly detailed orations of what new information they bring. As someone who looks forward to sad turns of the phrase and poetic insights, I was left cold by the fate of Mercedes, and Albert. There's something wrong in preparing me for caring about these innocent characters, then treating them coolly and giving them no closure. They were the key to humanizing the Count's revenge. These people were spared, but their destiny was not given enough gravitas. This sat ill with me, who was looking forward to see how well the endless flow of words would conclude. I feel the book is average and I feel my rating of two stars reflects my reaction to the book. Others will no doubt have different views.
Edmond Dantes je plemenit, lep, mladi mornar zaljubljen u predivnu Mercedes. Danglers koji želi da se dočepa njegovog zlata, Kaderus, lupež koji želi ličnu osvetu i zli general Mondego koji želi Mercedes za ženu, optužuju Edmunda za pljačku upravo na dan njegov venčanja i on biva zatvoren u zloglasni zatvor Sato D'if. Bežeci iz zatvora, na zabačenom ostrvu pronalazi ogromno blago. U Pariz se vraća kao bogati i misteriozni grof Monte Kristo. Kako bih isterao pravdu i sprao ljagu sa svog imena - uz pomoć tri nova i urnebesna prijatelja!

The Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) was introduced in 2004 as the Federal Governments first new economic indicator in nearly 30 years. The survey provides quarterly revenue estimates for information, technology, administrative, and health sectors of the service economy. As the time series has lengthened for these industries, the Census Bureau has researched the feasibility of seasonally adjusting the data. This paper describes the research conducted to determine appropriate methods for producing seasonally adjusted estimates for QSS. Using X-12-ARIMA software diagnostics, we first identify those series that have a stable seasonal component. Then, we determine the industry levels at which the adjustment should be performed, the type of adjustment to be used, and the appropriate ARIMA model. This paper also summarizes the challenges that short data series pose to seasonal adjustment and to the X-12-ARIMA software.

- 1 cup (9 ounces) Classic Sweet Pastry
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, strained
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons strained apricot jam
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- Advance preparation
- 1. Prepare Classic Sweet Pastry as directed. Wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.

- Rolling and baking the crust
- 3. See recipe for Classic Sweet Pastry.
- Making the filling
- 4. Place eggs in a small bowl and whisk just to combine. Pour in the sugar and whisk. Add the lemon juice, again whisking to combine. Add the cooled melted butter and lemon zest and blend.

Pour the blueberries into the warm preserves and toss gently with a rubber spatula briefly to coat most of them. Spread over the tart, leaving a 3-inch center portion of lemon filling uncovered. Serve the same day for best flavor.

A Washington, D.C., television station recently aired a news story about thieves breaking into automobiles parked in a cemetery and stealing purses, GPS devices and other valuables while mourners were attending graveside services. No matter where your business is located, there may despicable thieves looking for opportunities to prey on grieving families – even sacred places, such as a cemetery or funeral home. You may wish to remind funeral guests to place valuables in the trunk of their car or under the seats and lock their automobiles before attending services.

The president's top economic adviser on Monday said Obama still believes the expiring payroll tax cut should be a part of broader fiscal talks, suggesting that an issue that some believed was settled months ago could see new life.
"The payroll tax cut has helped middle-class families, has helped support the economy and support consumption," Alan Krueger, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisors, said during Monday's White House press briefing. "There are many tax provisions that are expiring at the end of the year and the president has said that the payroll tax cut, among others, should be on the table."
As recently as September, the cut seemed destined to expire. In recent months, however, it has enjoyed renewed support among Democrats.
Obama's former top economic adviser Larry Summers and the top-ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., both said in October that an extension of the cut, which affects 160 million taxpayers, should not be ruled out. More recently, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., told Reuters he backed extending it, while Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said it should be on the table.
Still, the administration and some Democrats have resisted explicitly backing it, simply saying it should be a part of ongoing end-of-year fiscal negotiations. Such apparent ambivalence may stem from the fact that its impact doesn't seem to have registered with taxpayers and powerful organizations, such as AARP, who oppose it on the grounds that it saps funds from Social Security, which is funded through the payroll tax.

When the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon starts on Sunday, Karen Cotter's smart phone and an application for it will be part of her necessary gear as she walks the 26.2 miles for the first time.
Get App-y: Marathon walker keeping pace with app
The Oklahoma City resident, who teaches nursing at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, has gradually been building up to a marathon distance for the last couple of years, since her doctor told her that if she'd get in shape she might not need a second back surgery.
Now the 42-year-old is 50 pounds lighter and credits a mobile application — Endomondo Sports Tracker — with keeping her exercise routine on track.
Because of the app, Cotter knows that she and Lisa Dunaway, the friend from Choctaw who walks with her, are averaging about 100 miles of walking per month and have walked more than 1,600 miles since June 2010, when she committed to her walking regimen.
Endomondo, available for Android, Nokia, Blackberry, Windows and iOS (iPhone) devices, has both a free version and a pro version for $3.99. When Cotter opens it on her smart phone, the app reminds her when she hasn't exercised in a while and tracks her route using GPS data. It also allows her to connect with other exercisers via social media.
As long as an exerciser has a mobile phone with GPS or a Garmin GPS watch, Endomondo works with all kinds of distance activity in addition to running/walking — cycling, water skiing, kayaking, roller skating, etc. It also gives users verbal reminders to keep pace.

Hello I recently submitted a settlement request letter to the insurance claim adjuster for a bodily injury claim, per there request. What happens next. The incident occurred 1/29/2013. The insurance company requested a letter to indicate the amount I was requesting for damages. I submitted that letter on 3/28/2013. What happens now. They have stated they received my letter and are working to get the issue resolved. IS there something I else I should do or is it just a waiting game?
If they deny the claim can I still sue? Can I file a small claims suit or anything?
Litigation Lawyer
I'm sorry you were injured but before you settle your case, consult with an attorney to make certain that you are getting a fair settlement - if one is offered to you.
The insurance company representative may be busy but they also may not agree with your settlement demands. I suggest you make a follow up call.
Good luck.

You will get a response from them in a week or two with a counter offer no doubt. It will be a fraction of your demand. If you were injured, I would consider consulting an attorney to discuss the demand you made and your injuries. Many of us provide free consultations. Good luck.
This communication offers general information based on the very limited information provided, and does not constitute the giving of legal advice, nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Not much else you can do at this point since you choose to handle this without the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney. Hopefully your injuries; any wage loss etc and all related damages were very minor; and that you did not fail to include any potential future medical & disability expenses and pain & suffering. Unless you made too low of a demand it is my educated guess they will not meet your demand. However, I hope I am wrong - I wish you good luck
This is not intended to be legal advise or as legal representation. I am a California personal injury attorney . Be aware that every state has its own statute of limitations; and statutes & case laws that govern the handling of these matters.
Defective and Dangerous Products Attorney
I've been posting (sometimes cutting and pasting as I really couldn't say what I said better myself) my biased opinions and comments here and there on the Internet and Avvo for a while now (since Al Gore invented online attorney forums, I believe), and every time I see a post about a person doing battle all by his or her non-lawyer self against an insurance company, I keep thinking the post might as well read something like, "my sister-in-law wants that disc in her neck fixed, something about the nerves being pinched. Anyway, she takes mother's little helpers by the handful for the pain and it makes driving the steam plow in a straight line pretty tough. So, what I need to know is where I can obtain some cheap surgical tools… only need them once, so I don't need the Snap On quality type."
No one who has suffered personal injury should handle personal injury cases. No one but a neurosurgeon should do brain surgery, even if one's sister-in-law looks like a schnauzer in a sun dress.
A good personal injury attorney should not only understand the law applying to the claim/lawsuit but fully understand the medical damages associated with the injury. Trauma can affect many body parts, vary in severity, vary in long term complications and sequelae. To better one's chances for a full and fair recovery, one must have an attorney who knows what to ask for from the defendant – compensation for all bodily harms and future medical care that will be needed.
We personal injury lawyers offer free consultations. We handle cases on a contingent basis. We actually love the game, the battling, the negotiations, the tactics, etc. An injured person should just worry about getting better.

Unfortunately, sometimes it can take a while to get a response from an insurance company. There's nothing that prevents you from calling or e-mailing the adjuster to follow up on the status of your claim. Given the workload adjusters are burdened with nowadays, sometimes it pays to be the squeaky wheel. In the meantime, if you are still treating for your injuries, you should continue to do so.
Of course, if you feel that you are getting the "runaround" from the insurance company, or are unsatisfied with their response, you should consider hiring a competent attorney in your jurisdiction with whom you feel comfortable. Insurance companies love people that file their own claim without a lawyer.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
I agree that you need a lawyer. Not just to make sure the settlement is fair but to make sure any release you sign doesn't prevent you from pursuing other insurance policies with exposure for liability, including your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Answering questions does not create an attorney/client relationship. I only am your attorney if I have entered into a written contract, signed by me, wherein I expressly assent to be your attorney. Nothing I post should be construed as legal advice to be acted upon, it is merely a legal opinion.
Personal Injury Lawyer
When you try to resolve an injury case without a lawyer, you will either get #1. no money or #2. a tiny nuisance settlement. Be smart and retain a lawyer.
Personal Injury Lawyer
What happens next is that you will very likely receive what is called a "lowball" from the insurance company. See paragraph # 4 of the attached blog article on the insurance claims handling process. I wish you the best. [Click Blue Link Below]
Law Offices of Andrew D. Myers, North Andover, MA & Derry, NH provide answers for informational purposes only. Actual legal advice can only be given by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction, thoroughly familiar with the area of the law in which your concern lies. This creates no attorney-client relationship.

I believe that you have gotten some very good advice from my colleagues. Should you wish to discuss your claim with me, I would be agreeable to providing you with a free consultation as most of the others in the California area would be willing to do. Good luck.
Mr. Crosner is licensed to practice law in California and has been practicing law in California since 1978. The response herein is general legal and business analysis.. It is not intended nor construed to be "legal advice" but rather it is analysis, and different lawyers may analyze this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. Oftentimes the question does not include significant and important facts and timelines that, if known, could significantly change the reply and make it unsuitable. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.
Employment / Labor Attorney
Please contact an attorney before the insurance company tricks you and takes advantage of you by likely settling your claims for far less than what you need to be compensated. Also, this answer depends on your injuries, are they minor, are they major, are they permanent??? What have the doctors said? You've probably already given a recorded statement which will be used against you. If you contact us, we give free consults, or contact someone else!!!
This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship between Jassim & Associates or any of its attorneys. We are not your attorney unless we both sign a written contract that describes our relationship and terms, the scope of our representation, and terms of payment for representation. Any information provided to you here should not be construed as legal advice, and an in detail review of the facts of your matter would likely affect any information provided. There could be deadlines to act in any case, after which your legal rights could be lost forever. You should contact an attorney licensed in your state immediately to be sure your rights are protected.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
Per Section 790.03 of the Insurance Code, the carrier has to promptly and fairly evaluate your claim and make a reasonable settlement offer in a reasonable period of time. This means that once you have submitted copies of all medical bills, records, verification of loss of earnings and other documents to support your claim for medical, earnings, pain and suffering and property damage, if any, they will review and confirm, then call you with an offer, or a counter to your demand. Unless you have a small case (less than 10k) you probably should consult (free) with an attorney, to discuss your case. Remember, all such cases have deadlines in which to file suit. Sometimes these are very short, and require specific claims for damages, depending on the type of defendant.
The comments made here are meant to direct you to receive local consultation from an attorney in your area and ask proper, detailed questions to get the best legal advice upon which you can take appropriate action.
Personal Injury Lawyer
most likely what happens next is the insurance company will toss you a pittance offer to deflate you. Then they will likely begin their stall and delay tactics to see if you will get frustrated and drop it. You'll get worried about the bills piling up, so you won't get the care you need out of fear of the cost. That in turn will create gaps in your medical care creating a whole new argument for them to make to devalue your claim. You won't realize that you don't get to tell the jury the gaps are there because the insurance adjuster wouldn't return your calls or help you and you will continue to harm your own case.
Well, either that will likely be next, or you will wake up and call a lawyer.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Perhaps you should have spoken with an attorney. Settling a bodily injury claim within 90 days of the incident is not something I would recommend. Have you reached maximum medical improvement? Do you have a permanent, lifelong impairment? Will you need future medical care? These issues are difficult to determine until you have reached a medical end point, which, with personal injuries from an auto collision, generally is not 90 days. Chances are the insurance company will attempt to take advantage of your inexperience in negotiating such settlements.
Normally I would recommend:You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing. The Guides can be accessed through my profile page on Avvo.com.

By Sgt. Sara Wood, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 2006 The international community remains united in achieving a diplomatic solution to North Korea's nuclear testing, President Bush said here today.
In a White House news conference, Bush said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice briefed him after her recent trip to Asia, and she reported that all the countries she visited understand they must work closely together to solve the problem peacefully. Rice met with leaders in Japan, South Korea, China and Russia.
Bush dismissed reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il threatened South Korea for joining international sanctions against the communist country. Kim likes to threaten and is simply doing so to test the will of the countries that are trying to convince him to turn away from nuclear weapon technology, Bush said.
"This is not the first time that he's issued threats," Bush said. "Our goal is to continue to remind our partners that when we work together, we're more likely to be able to achieve the objective, which is to solve this problem diplomatically."
Bush said the involved countries will adhere to the latest United Nations Security Council resolution that was passed Oct. 14, which puts financial and arms sanctions on North Korea as punishment for its Oct. 9 nuclear test.
"I would report to you the coalition remains firm," he said. "And we will continue to work to see to it that it does remain firm."
In a news conference following the 38th annual U.S.- Republic of Korea Security Consultative Meeting in the Pentagon Oct. 20, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to South Korea. Rumsfeld met with South Korean National Defense Minister Yoon Kwang-ung, calling the meeting "most significant" considering North Korea's nuclear test in defiance of international will.
"The United States reaffirms its firm commitment to the Republic of Korea, including continuation of the extended deterrence offered by the U.S. nuclear umbrella consistent with the Mutual Defense Treaty," Rumsfeld said.
