Life in Review: "Sonoma Rose" by Jennifer Chiaverini + Giveaway!
*Please read through to the end of this post for instructions on how to enter the giveaway.
Sonoma Rose (An Elm Creek Quilts Novel) by Jennifer Chiaverini is a compelling drama, taking place during Prohibition, about a woman who goes to great lengths to protect her children.
Rosa Barclay lives in Southern California with her four children, in constant fear and turmoil because of her frequently violent husband. She also lives in a constant state of worry over her children. She has already lost four and two of her remaining children are now ill. The worst part is that the cause is a mystery illness and no one knows how to treat it, and her husband is unwilling to take the children to a different doctor to seek answers. Then one day Rosa's neighbor and friend, Elizabeth, comes for a routine visit to get her mail, but things go horribly wrong. That day will forever change the whole direction of Rosa's life.
I very highly recommend this book. The writing is very lovely with rich, detailed descriptions. I personally liked this story because I liked Rosa so much. I was cheering for her from the very beginning and it kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen to her. It's a family drama that also has plenty of mystery and intense suspense. This is the first of Jennifer Chiaverini's books that I have read. She has written a whole series of Elm Creek Quilts novels and I hope to get a chance to read more of them.
I would also like to note for those of you who prefer to read "clean" fiction, that although this isn't a Christian fiction title, it is what I would consider "clean" fiction. Her books are considered inspirational, there isn't language to be concerned about, and they are sold on Christianbook.com. Although this particular book does deal with some difficult subjects, they are real-life issues that are also tackled in Christian fiction. In this story, Rosa was born and raised Catholic, and sticking to her Catholic values is extremely important to her.
Book Summary:
From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini, a powerful and dramatic Prohibition-era story that follows the fortunes of Rosa Diaz Barclay, a woman who plunges into the unknown for the safety of her children and the love of a good but flawed man.
As the nation grapples with the strictures of Prohibition, Rosa Barclay lives on a Southern California rye farm with her volatile husband, John, who has lately found another source of income far outside the federal purview.
Mother to eight children, Rosa mourns the loss of four who succumbed to the mysterious wasting disease that is now afflicting young Ana and Miguel. Two daughters born of another father are in perfect health. When an act of violence shatters Rosa's resolve to maintain her increasingly dangerous existence, she flees with the children and her precious heirloom quilts to the mesa where she last saw her beloved mother alive.
As a flash flood traps them in a treacherous canyon, only one man is brave—or foolhardy—enough to come to their rescue: Lars Jorgenson, Rosa's first love and the father of her healthy daughters. Together they escape to Berkeley, where a leading specialist offers their only hope of saving Ana and Miguel. Here in northern California, they create new identities to protect themselves from Rosa's vengeful husband, the police who seek her for questioning, and the gangsters Lars reported to Prohibition agents—officers representing a department often as corrupt as the Mob itself. Ever mindful that his youthful alcoholism provoked Rosa to spurn him, Lars nevertheless supports Rosa's daring plan to stake their futures on a struggling Sonoma Valley vineyard—despite the recent hardships of local winemakers whose honest labors at viticulture have, through no fault of their own, become illegal.

Marijuana >> I find it ironic that the same people who are always screaming for personal freedom are the same ones against legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is safer than booze and safer than most prescription drugs. I've never heard of anyone overdosing from smoking marijuana. I think these anti-legalization hounds have been watching too many Cheech and Chong movies.
Unemployment >> To the 83-year-old who will bet any amount of money that he can start looking at 8 a.m. and have a paying job by noon, I will take that bet for $100.
Benghazi >> The Obama administration, led by the president, has one word used to escape accepting responsibility for the disastrous destruction of our Benghazi facility and murder of four Americans. That word is "investigation." They dodge the question by saying "it is under investigation." The truth is buried under their excuses.
Education >> Do we really want to adopt Common Core in Las Cruces? We have already seen the damage to K-12 education from federal intervention (No Child Left Behind).
Organ Mountains >> Mr. Cornell questions the security concerns expressed by the Sheriff Garrison. Crime has been held down because we have total access to the area. If Sen. Udall's plan goes through, the sheriff will be restricted from patrolling the area, leaving it open for the criminals. We all want to protect the Organ Mountain, but stop there, don't tie up two-thirds of the county.
Gov. Martinez >> About once a week we hear from a Martinez supporter blaming our elected representatives because she is unable to cajole, convince, compromise or even compel them. That is to say, she would be a great political leader except for her lack of political leadership skills.
Gov. Martinez >> So "water infrastructure" is our governor's No. 1 priority, so long as the $112,000,000 she is redistributing is at her sole discretion and her project list is secret. I guess that would make water her No. 3 priority, after power and secrecy.
Tell-all >> Secretary Gates, like every retiring bureaucrat has the right to a self-serving autobiography, but if he is going to criticize the president for not "winning," perhaps he should decide what "winning" would be. No matter how many decades, when we leave the place will be overrun by Afghans.
Football >> If we don't get these liberals out of power, the NFL will soon be playing flag football and so will college and high school teams because they know what is best for everyone.
Media >> Fox News outranks all the other news networks by far. They do tell the news Fair and Balanced that's why they are No. 1. They were the first to report on the Benghazi attack, Fast and Furious gun running, IRS scandal, etc. The other news channels will stay away from anything negative about the administration in our White House, just like the Sun-News does.
Rick Wellborn >> In response to someone in Sound Off saying he doesn't know what political party he is. Holding a judge position has nothing to do with belonging to a political party and doesn't affect his job. He has proven to be a respectful and good judge.
Regulation >> To all those folks who decry job-killing government regulation of businesses, ask the folks in West Virginia how they feel about it. Now the company that caused the spill has declared bankruptcy.
Political leanings >> If the New Mexico Rio Grande Foundation is "independent" and "nonpartisan" I have some land in Florida I wish to sell you.

- I used to rely on lists. I had lists everywhere. All over my desk at work, on the kitchen counter at home and even on sticky notes I'd attach to things like my wallet, phone and ipod. And yet, I have somehow gotten out of the habit. Now my brain is a mish-mash of all the junk I can't seem to get down on paper. (And also, shouldn't I be making said list RIGHT NOW instead of blogging??)
- The weather here has been actually cool lately. I can't wait for this knee to heal up so I can run again. I know it sounds crazy to want to run!
- I need a good piece of fiction to read that's NOT vampires. I'm starting to feel guilty. I'm reading two books at once and they're both of the blood-sucker variety.
- With the advent of this cool weather, I am getting excited to start following New England Fall foliage websites. Just the thought of being in a place where the leaves change color and the air begins to smell like wood burning and Autumn makes my heart ache with longing.
- I've decided that I really don't like sesame seed bagels. Or peas.
- I think our neighbour died. I don't see her around anymore, the tomato plants are dying, and her husband suddenly requested cat traps from the city. It was apparently her idea to feed them, not his. The problem now is that he's not baiting them so the cats are laying right next to empty said traps. But if she really did die (or maybe he ate her!) then I'd feel bad calling the city to investigate the traps. What a conundrum.
- I started watching the British TV show Torchwood on Netflix. It's not that good but is filled with slashy goodness. And James Marsters.
- 24 days until Bones season 6 premier! Woot!
That's all for now. Got a ton of work to do any even less time to do it in. Over and out.

South Allegheny boys soccer starts hot, seeks more
TribLIVE Sports Videos
In defense of the South Allegheny boys soccer team, it's not always about a shutout. It's about getting the win.
South Allegheny (6-1-1), with three shutouts this season, opened a stretch of four games in six days on Monday with a 3-0 win against visiting Brentwood.
"The goal is to go farther than we did last year," South Allegheny coach Dean Vickers said.
The Gladiators qualified for the WPIAL Class A playoffs in 2012 but were eliminated in a first-round loss to Bishop Canevin. Last season started much like 2013 for South Allegheny, which settled for a 9-9 record after winning its first seven regular-season games.
It was a vast improvement, though, after the Gladiators struggled in Class AA in 2011, finishing with a 1-16 mark.
"The years we've been in Class A, we've done well," Vickers said. "We've been bouncing back and forth between Class A and Class AA because our enrollment is on the fence. Right now, we're playing as a team. I'm very proud of this group. It's been wonderful."
South Allegheny's lone loss had been at Winchester Thurston in a Section 1-A game Sept. 10. The Gladiators were shut out, 2-0, but it was a defensive struggle like so many other outings this year.
The South Allegheny defense is playing like "a well-oiled machine," according to senior defender Tyler Forrester.
"We're like brothers back there," he said. "The whole team is like a family. We've grown up from last year. After we got off to that hot start, we didn't really realize what it takes to play at a high level for the entire season. We learned a lot from that."
South Allegheny's veteran leadership includes eight returning starters on a roster totaling 26 players. Forrester is joined on the back line by seniors Tyler Ellwood and Anthony Lewis and sophomore Danny Bowling. The goalkeeper is three-year starter Adam Myers, a junior.
On offense, senior forward Jake Thieret had scored nine of South Allegheny's 19 goals through seven games.
"We've been able to put the ball in the net for the most part, but I still go back to our defense," Vickers said. "It is very strong. It's not just one individual player that is carrying us. It's everybody. We're starting to gel together as a team, and the guys are pumped up."
While Forrester is proud of the defense's prime role in South Allegheny's success so far, he's not worried about the unit bending, at times.
That's natural, he said.
"It's good to have a shutout," Forrester said, "but we're just a team trying to get that next win. It's a workmanlike attitude. We'll take a win any way we can get it."

Fuel Cells To Power Mobile Phones By 2009
STMicroelectrics hopes to be supplying fuel cell batteries for mobile phones by 2009. They are developing this new technology to power both mobile phones and laptop computers, and are aiming to have production underway by 2009.
"We are developing micro fuel cells for mobile phones and then for the laptop market,"
Salvatore Coffa, from the R&D department of the industrial and multi-segment sector at ST told the meeting. "We hope to have this in production by 2009."
Coffa said the research is moving towards flexible substrates using PCBs for fuel cells delivering thin-film micro-batteries. Using fuel cells instead of batteries would make mobile phones lighter and much more convenient to use as they could be simply topped up with fuel whenever necessary.
In addition, there would be significant environmental benefits as the fuel can be derived from sustainable organic sources, while the by-products are mainly water and a much lower level of carbon dioxide than is produced by burning fossil fuels," says Dr. Salvo Coffa, who leads the Corporate Technology R&D team that is researching the micro fuel cell technology.
The operation of a fuel cell involves the chemical interaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce water, heat and electrical energy. Typically, a fuel cell consists of a pair of electrodes (the 'anode' and the 'cathode') separated by a membrane that allows protons (hydrogen ions) to pass through the membrane but does not allow an electric current to pass. In addition, catalysts such as platinum are used to increase the rate of the reaction and therefore the amount of electrical energy produced.
The main problem with applying fuel cell concepts to mobile phones is that the power source (battery or fuel cell) must be able to deliver around 300mA of current at 3.6V and it must not occupy a volume of more than around 12 cubic centimeters. However, the output current of a fuel cell is directly related to the common surface area between the electrodes and the membrane and to obtain 300mA of current using conventional fuel cell technologies would require a surface area of around 60 square centimeters, much larger than is available in a mobile phone.
ST is also researching bringing all plastic systems into manufacturing. These all plastic and silicon systems would include sensors, powered generation devices, antennas and other devices.
ST says that producing circuits on plastic rolls will benefit industry with their decreased possible sizes, and the company hopes to begin production of these plastic circuits in three years.
Achieved channel lengths for plastic circuits are 200-400µm, said Coffa, with ST targeting 10-40µm. Their announcement coincides with recently released US research that suggested that fuel cells would be viable mobile power options in the next 3-5 years.
"ST is committed to researching new technologies that could help to minimize the impact of industrial and consumer products on the global environment. Although there is still further work to do before these developments can be integrated into a commercial technology, we are very excited about their potential," says Coffa.

"Herpivory"? "Ranophagy"? Hurry, I need to mock a French friend.
I guess I should know !!!
You could create some neologism such as
I guess that would be a ranaphagy, from family Ranidae (true frogs), most of the edible ones being genus Rana.
I think calling him a ranophage sounds better though.
Here's a link mentioning edibility of a couple of species. It ain't just the Frogs wot eat frogs. Apparently them damned Yankees eat even more! (or maybe I should say 'damned Confederacy Southerners')

How to Wear Colored Tights
The best option is to match your shoes to your tights. This helps elongate and continue the line of the leg. This is especially true for petites, because a dress or skirt, colored tights, and then a different colored shoe, breaks the body up and makes you look shorter. The other option is to wear tall boots with a pair of colored tights (boots should be just below or at the knee). This option just shows a hint of the colored tights without breaking up the line of the body. My Favorite Colored Tights: Wolford, DKNY and Hue. More at www.mybest-footforward.com

San Francisco resident Ali Weinhouse is sidelined no more. Watching the high school health and physical education teacher in the gym, playing racquetball or power walking in her characteristic "New York strut" reveals no clue that she once suffered a debilitating problem.
Yet for almost 10 years Weinhouse, 51, was dramatically limited in her activities. During that time, she suffered from stress incontinence. Running, jumping, dancing even sneezing could make her leak urine. "At first, the incontinence wasnt so bad," Weinhouse recalled. "I could deal with it."
As years went by, however, her problem grew worse. Worrying about embarrassing leaking prevented Weinhouse from enjoying many of the activities that once filled her life, such as the heavy lifting involved with the remodeling of her home.
"My mother suffered with incontinence," Weinhouse said. "I wasn't really sure you could do anything about it."
Weinhouse is not alone. Urinary incontinence affects 13 million Americans and many suffer in silence unaware of treatment options. A 1994 study of nearly 4,000 adults found that even among those who admitted incontinence to interviewers, less than 40 percent had discussed the problem with their doctor. Overall, 85 percent of people with incontinence are women.
Incontinence can be categorized as one of three types: stress, urge or mixed. Coughing, sneezing, laughing and exercise can cause leaks for women with stress incontinence. Sudden, strong urges to urinate or frequent urination indicate urge incontinence or overactive bladder. It's common for a woman to experience a combination of both stress and urge incontinence symptoms called mixed incontinence, although one type is usually more bothersome than the other.
"My colleagues knew something was wrong," Weinhouse said. "I didn't hide it. Every time I laughed with my students, I needed to cross my legs to prevent any leakage." She became increasingly persistent in her search for information about incontinence, conducting research on the Internet and asking friends. Some responded with embarrassment; few had any helpful advice and most had no clue that there were solutions. Her primary care physician eventually referred Weinhouse to the UCSF Women's Continence Center.
Dr. Sharon Knight was the first to examine Weinhouse at the continence center. "Urinary incontinence is common, but it's not normal at any age," said Knight, an urogynecologist at the UCSF Continence Center.
The continence center uses advanced diagnostics to identify the causes of incontinence. Non-surgical options such as pelvic muscle rehabilitation and surgical options are available.
"Learning pelvic muscle exercises is a good first step," said Knight, "since behavioral treatments are low risk and have no side effects." A physical therapist at the continence center uses biofeedback to help women learn to identify and control the muscles involved in urination. The patient sits, privately, at a computer and wears tiny sensors. Contracting the correct muscle sends a signal that is immediately indicated on the screen. As with all muscles, exercise builds muscle tone, and many patients learn to prevent involuntary loss of urine this way. Other helpful behavioral treatments include losing weight and avoiding diuretics such as coffee.
New medications introduced in the past several years also have proven effective for some women. As part of the UCSF Center of Excellence in Women's Health, all continence center patients have access to the latest clinical research, and all care is coordinated with other doctors at UCSF Medical Center.
Weinhouse learned pelvic exercises and saw some improvement, but she was determined to end the embarrassing leaks. After she discussed her options with Knight, the doctor offered a surgical alternative. "Involving our patients in the treatment decision process is essential," said Knight. The one-hour operation was successful and Weinhouse remains symptom free after almost two years.
"Dr. Knight is a wonderful physician," Weinhouse said. "She's got that old-fashioned human touch, both pre- and post-surgery."
"Women need to know there's help available," Weinhouse said, as she laced up her running shoes. "Open communication with ones physician is so important. I'm glad I asked my doctors, and I'm glad they were so well informed."

Corbett names 2 attorneys to Westmoreland bench
One Republican and one Democrat were appointed Friday to fill vacancies on the Westmoreland County Court of Common Pleas.
Gov. Tom Corbett on Friday announced that Greensburg lawyer Harry Smail and Lower Burrell attorney David Regoli were selected to replace recently-retired judges John Blahovec of Hempfield and Gary Caruso of Rostraver.
Each candidate must be confirmed by the state Senate for a $173,703-a-year position.
Their appointments are part of a package of selections announced by the governor to fill court vacancies in Philadelphia and Allegheny County, along with other openings in the state.
Smail, 48, a Republican, made two unsuccessful runs to be elected to the bench, including a defeat in 2013.
"We started working on this right after the 2013 primary," Smail said of the gubernatorial appointment. "I bring a common-sense, conservative view to protect the citizens of Westmoreland County."
Smail has practiced law since 1998. He worked as a county probation officer while earning his law degree in night school.
Smail serves as solicitor for the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Department. He served as solicitor for the county clerk of courts office and the Westmoreland County Republican Committee.
Regoli, 49, a Democrat, is the son of John Regoli, a former county commissioner and state senator.
"It's something I've always wanted to do, but the timing was always an issue," David Regoli said.
"I made a decision several months ago to run and getting the appointment certainly helped," he said.
Regoli has served as a lawyer since 1991 and has a private practice that focuses on civil, criminal and corporate law. He serves as a councilman in Lower Burrell, a position he said he will leave next month.
Regoli serves as the solicitor for county Clerk of Courts Bryan Kline.
Both Smail and Regoli will have to run for election in 2015 for a full, 10-year term.
It is expected there will be three judicial slots on the ballot.
Judge Al Bell will retire next month, accounting for a third vacancy on what should be an 11-member bench.
Westmoreland County Court Administrator Paul Kuntz said Friday's appointments come as the court system has been backlogged because of the retirements.
"It's been difficult to keep up with the backlog with these vacancies," Kuntz said.

The distinct array of musical instruments found throughout the Indonesian islands date back to the Bronze Age, with influences from Portugal, and the neighboring Middle East and India. Still used today, they typically include plucked and bowed strings, wind, and percussion instruments that are played alongside various performances. Hailing from islands like Java and Bali, Gamelan music - the most popular form of music throughout Indonesia - is made up of an ensemble of percussion instruments that accompany events such as traditional theater, ceremonies and even poetry readings.
As an integral part of communication, each instrument reflects how each island's culture differs. On the Rote Island, the sasando, a plucked string instrument, is played in order to bring harmony while advice is given to each seeker. Like in many other Asian countries, drums have age-old roots of being played in the background for births, deaths and other rituals. Equally unique, the careful craftsmanship that goes into each piece includes hand-painted art or carvings with vibrant creatures and designs that are one-of-a-kind to every island.
Bulky items such as furniture and rugs cost more to ship due to greater size and weight. Therefore, a delivery surcharge will be billed in addition to the standard shipping charge.
Surcharge amounts vary. The surcharge amount is noted on each product detail page.

WASHINGTON -- In the 1970s and early '80s, having seized control of the U.N. apparatus (by power of numbers), Third World countries decided to cash in. OPEC was pulling off the greatest wealth transfer from rich to poor in history. Why not them? So in grand U.N. declarations and conferences, they began calling for a "New International Economic Order." The NIEO's essential demand was simple: to transfer fantastic chunks of wealth from the industrialized West to the Third World.
On what grounds? In the name of equality -- wealth redistribution via global socialism -- with a dose of post-colonial reparations thrown in.
The idea of essentially taxing hard-working citizens of the democracies in order to fill the treasuries of Third World kleptocracies went nowhere, thanks mainly to Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher (and the debt crisis of the early '80s). They put a stake through the enterprise.
But such dreams never die. The raid on the Western treasuries is on again, but today with a new rationale to fit current ideological fashion. With socialism dead, the gigantic heist is now proposed as a sacred service of the newest religion: environmentalism.
One of the major goals of the Copenhagen climate summit is another NIEO shakedown: the transfer of hundreds of billions from the industrial West to the Third World to save the planet by, for example, planting green industries in the tristes tropiques.
Politically it's an idea of genius, engaging at once every left-wing erogenous zone: rich man's guilt, post-colonial guilt, environmental guilt. But the idea of shaking down the industrial democracies in the name of the environment thrives not just in the refined internationalist precincts of Copenhagen. It thrives on the national scale too.
On the day Copenhagen opened, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claimed jurisdiction over the regulation of carbon emissions by declaring them an "endangerment" to human health.
Since we operate an overwhelmingly carbon-based economy, the EPA will be regulating practically everything. No institution that emits more than 250 tons of CO2 a year will fall outside EPA control. This means over a million building complexes, hospitals, plants, schools, businesses and similar enterprises. (The EPA proposes regulating emissions only above 25,000 tons, but it has no such authority.) Not since the creation of the Internal Revenue Service has a federal agency been given more intrusive power over every aspect of economic life.

Old Bamboo Rods: a primer for evaluation
March 2009
Now and then I receive enquiries about the value and/or origin of old bamboo rods and olf fishing rods in general. So I created this page for people to start building an opinion on their own since I don't consider myself (yet) a specialist in the field but a simple apprentice.
However, it must be said that apprasing an old bamboo rod is not easy neither for expert professionals since many variable are involved.
Related Pages
A recent (mainly USA oriented) forum* enquiry gave the following listing:
TOP TEN ALL TIME BEST BAMBOO RODS MANUFACTURERs:
So this give us a good starting point. Brands which are not included in this first list are considered of lesser quality. An example? For instance, Montague or H-I (Horrock-Ibbotson) are not well considered by collectors because they were produced in large quantities and not with high standards.
However, the listing above misses some important, if sometimes less productive, bamboo rod makers and companies such as:Hardy brothers, Pezon and Michel, Vincent Marinaro, Everett Garrison, H.S.Pinky Gillum, Powell, Dickerson, Winston, South Bend, Phillipson and E.W. Edwards.
You will be surprised how many of old cane rods are reasonably low priced, ranging from 200 to 400 USD in average (also at important auction houses like Bonhams, I have seen Hardy rods selling for a mere 200 GBP).
Hoagy Carmichael showed us, while in Sansepolcro, a Garrison rod in his collection. A very "electric" moment when we could hold it in our hands. (by the way, a Garriosn rod was reportedly sold for $12'000 at an auction!)
Concerning the value of a rod:
Value depends upon:

DENVER (AP) -- Authorities say a Denver man accused of killing his wife while she was on the phone with 911 ate marijuana-infused candy before he allegedly shot her.
According to search warrants released Thursday, 44-year-old Kristine Kirk told dispatchers her husband bought and ate the candy before he started hallucinating and frightening the couple's three children. Police say 47-year-old Richard Kirk also may have taken prescription pain medication before he began acting erratically.
It was not clear whether the pot influenced his behavior.
Authorities say Kirk shot his wife in the head about 12 minutes into her call with 911. Police say she told dispatchers her husband was getting a gun from a safe before a gunshot sounded and the line went quiet. The department is investigating whether police responded quickly enough.

Hey, folks! How ya doin'?
Well, I guess I'm fine, almost a year since I last posted here, so I decided to update this crap. Yeah, I know no one cares about me and probably nobody will ever read this shit, but who cares?
Ok, let's stop with the drama and let's about some real good stuff!
First of all, look at this picture I took in World of Warcraft. Amazing, uh?
Ok. Not really THAT great, but still it's better than the ones you're gonna find on the internet. Or not.

Nah, you don't believe me. I mean, who would play WoW in 2050? WHO?
Peace, folks!

It probably won't make Mitt Romney feel much better, but 20 months after he lost the presidency Americans think they would be better off had he, not President Barack Obama, won the White House.
A national Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday found that 45% of registered voters say the U.S. would be better off today had Mr. Romney won the 2012 presidential election. Read More »

HP intros 25.5-inch AIO LCD, green desktops
updated 10:15 am EDT, Mon October 20, 2008
HP w2558hc and a6600 SEs
HP this morning marked the low-key introduction of a large yet mainstream w-series display as well as a pair of eco-friendly desktops. The w2558hc (pictured) is said to have rich color output but is pitched primarily as an all-in-one companion to a desktop or notebook. The 25.5-inch LCD has a two megapixel camera, stereo speakers and secondary HDMI inputs that turn it both into an all-in-one video conferencing device as well as an HDTV alternative for some devices.
Expansion is also a key point for the w2558hc and comes through both a 15-in-1 card reader and a USB hub. HP doesn't list performance for the new display but says it should be available now for $599.
The two desktop additions join the a6600 series and center on the level of environmental awareness first shown with the dv6929 notebook. The a6645f Verde Special Edition and the a6655f Phoenix Special Edition both use newer AMD Athlon and Phenom processors that have lower energy usage than most desktop processors and also come in completely recyclable packaging.
The Verde acts as the budget model with a two-core 2.5GHz Athlon 64 X2, a 500GB hard drive and up to 5GB of RAM thanks to Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Opting for the Phoenix equips the mini-tower with a 1.8GHz Phenom X4 quad-core processor and a larger 640GB disk. HP ships both desktops on November 9th for $579 and $659 respectively.

The rising cost of higher education in the United States has impacted levels of student enrollment, widened the achievement gap and dramatically increased student loan debt. In an attempt to mitigate these challenges, both President Obama and congressional Republicans have made proposals to lower the price tag of a college degree. Join us for a discussion with student leaders and professionals to discuss the benefits and downsides of both alternatives.

Atlanta Mototrsports Park DE
April 27 - 28
This will be our first DE at Atlanta Motorsports Park. This is a brand new track, 2 miles in length with 16 turns and lots of elevation changes. This will be a full event with 1 instructed and 3 solo groups. We will NOT offer a beginner group so you must be a Group 2 driver to register for the instructed group.
PLEASE NOTE!! AMP has strict noise limitations of 98 dB. More details below.
Because of the smaller track our run groups will be smaller than our normal events at other facilities which means this event will likely sell out very quickly.
Also note that the support infrastructure around the track is still under construction so paddock space is limited. Come join us for our initial event at this terrific new track!
More Information on the noise limits direct from AMP:
The sound ratings at Atlanta
Motorsports Park are higher, or more liberal, than almost every day at
Laguna Seca, Lime Rock, Infineon, Eagles Canyon and most European
tracks, to name a few.
We have the most advanced sound level meters available, and measure in multiple locations, therefore passing sound at another track does not guarantee compliance at AMP. Please be prepared to have solutions to fix your car.
If in doubt, inexpensive sound meters can be found at Radio Shack. As a baseline test, drive by the meter at 50 feet under wide open throttle at speed with the meter set to FAST, and C weighted response. Keep in mind that cars under load going up hills produce more sound than on flat ground, and rain or humidity affect sound levels as well.
Exhaust turn downs (even slight ones), turn aways, flanges, deflectors, or other end tip "creative solutions" are not allowed. Exhaust must exit straight out of the car parallel to the ground. Cars with straight exhausts with no mufflers or silencers will not be allowed on track. Fresh muffler packing is highly advised.
We measure 98 db at 50 feet from the track edge on both sides of the track. Seven DB meters are located around the track and are moved during the day. Drivers who are accustomed to "lifting" in certain places will be disappointed. All cars will be pre-inspected including preliminary DB reading - this rating will be lower than a car under load. Be aware that if a stationary car shows near or above around 95 dB, it should be modified prior to driving so that you can stay on track and have an enjoyable experience.
There are several aftermarket solutions available to help with sound compliance. Balanced Performance is located on site at AMP and has been very successful helping track day guests with sound reduction.
PLEASE be sure you can meet the noise restrictions before registering. If you get to AMP and are asked to leave because your car is too loud, there will be NO REFUNDS.
See you in September!

Gets in the passing lanes but does not have great lateral quickness -Didn't generate very many assists, but that's partially due to the lack of talent around him Outlook Big, left-handed point guard who had a strong tournament, especially in the semi-finals where he single-handedly brought his team back in the game and forced overtime. Has a strong and somewhat unexpected burst off the dribble that makes him extremely difficult to stay in front, especially with his ability to stay low to the ground, handle with both hands and change speeds. Didn't show that well against US team. Will his athleticism hold up against the highest level competition, particularly defensively? [Read Full Article] © 2015 DraftExpress LLC All rights reserved.
