College Football: RG3, Baylor enjoy stunning Alamo Bowl; a record 67-56 victory over Washington

SAN ANTONIO — If that really was Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III's final college game, what an incredible way to go out.
Just ask him. "We went out in style!" Griffin shouted to his teammates.
It was amazing the Baylor quarterback had any breath left at all. Not after a record-shattering Alamo Bowl that might not only be remembered as the highest-scoring regulation bowl game in history, but also possibly as Griffin's last addition to his legacy in Waco.
The AP Player of the Year wasn't dazzling Thursday night, but he didn't need to be as No. 15 Baylor still pulled out an incredible 67-56 victory over Washington.
If it was RG3's final showcase before jumping to the NFL, it was a gripping goodbye to watch. One of the nation's most electrifying players was upstaged by an even more exciting nail-biter that shattered the previous record for points in regulation set in the 2001 GMAC Bowl.
Fans showered Griffin with chants of "One more year! One more year!" as he paraded the Alamo Bowl trophy around the field. He stopped at the front-row stands and showed off his prize to his mother, who has already been looking at her son's NFL draft prospects.
Griffin said he'll start looking, too, soon enough.
For now, there was still the craziness of this game to sort through.
"I want Baylor nation to enjoy this," Griffin said. "It's not about me. I've got about two weeks. I'll enjoy this the next day, and then the next day, and then I'll make it."
The previous bowl record for a regulation game was 102 points in the 2001 GMAC Bowl between Marshall and East Carolina. That game went to double overtime and ended with a combined 125 points, which still stands as the overall bowl record.
Baylor, which a bowl game for the first time since 1992, and Washington (7-6) also set a bowl record for total offense with 1,397 yards.
"We just knew we needed to score," Washington quarterback Keith Price said. "We needed to score fast, just to give our defense a boost."
Griffin had an unremarkable night, throwing just one touchdown pass and running for another score. But Terrance Ganaway starred ably in his place, rushing for 200 yards and five touchdowns. His last was a 43-yard run with 2:28 left to seal Baylor's first 10-win season since 1980.
Price outplayed his Heisman counterpart, going 23 for 27 with 438 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for another three scores.
"I think we'll have a hard time this bowl season to see a quarterback play as well as he did," Washington coach Steve Sarkisian.
Griffin was 24 of 33 for 295 yards — and his only touchdown throw came on the game's opening drive.
"That was crazy," Baylor coach Art Briles said.
For an Alamo Bowl short on drama and light on matchups in recent years, it was a thrilling scoring spree that overshadowed the mere novelty of featuring the Heisman winner. And that in itself was a rarity for a bowl of this stature. Not since Ty Detmer took BYU to the Holiday Bowl in 1990, had a Heisman winner played in a bowl before New Year's Day.
Plenty came to see this one and the announced attendance of 65,256 was the fifth-largest in the bowl's history.

It's been a good two months since I've written a blog and with good reason! Peace Corps has some pretty strict travel and vacation policies in Kenya and I did a few things going against them so now I want to tell you about them that I have an "R" for returned in front of my PCV title.
First, my boyfriend's friend Scott came out to visit in May. Having friends and family come visit is a highlight in anyone service cause you get to share what your life is like or atleast take them on all the awesome touristy stuff there is to do here. The boys went off to successfully summit Mt. Kilimanjaro and then I met them for a safari in the Masaai Mara.
I am sooooo glad we got to do this!!!! I had been on two game drives at Amboseli national park as a trainee and done a bike safari at Hell's Gate national park but the Mara is the mother of all of Kenya's parks. I thought it was truly incredible! Since it's been a few months I'm a little fuzzy on the details but we did about three days worth of game drives and saw all of the big five with the exception of the elusive leopard.
I thought the entire safari was incredible and I'm so happy I got to do it but probably the highlight was that we got to see two seperate lion hunts and one kill. First we saw a pride of lionesses track and encircle a zebra but it got away before they could attack. Then shortly after we saw another pride isolate a buffalo from the herd encircling it and then killing it. It was truly one of the most sad, gruesome and awesome things I have ever seen. Another buffalo tried to defend the injured one but it was too late. We actually drove back the next morning and the carcass was almost nothing but bones that a few cubs were nibling on and quickly after we got there the lionesses dragged the body away to a more hidden location.
About a month after I went to the Mara for the safari I headed one last time to Kenya's beautiful coast once again without asking for vacation from the boss man. This time it was because my boyfriend finished his service June 28 and we wanted to spend some time together before he left. I went to a small celebration his organization had for him in his village and then we headed to the other side of the country to the beach!
We relaxed, ate seafood and said our goodbyes until we see each other in America.
After Henry left I didn't do too many more sneaky things but I only had a few weeks left myself. I sold most of my worldly possessions to people in my village and said a few goodbyes of my own. I worked with my site mate to host a World Malaria day soccer tournament, and do 3 different solar cooker demonstrations. My goal was to sell solar cookers that Peace Corps donated to me in order to fund painting a world map mural at the girls secondary school in my village. Before I left we sold a few so I'm hoping she will continue the efforts to do the project!
Leaving Kenya was a whirlwind of paperwork but on July 17th I successfully completed my service as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kenya! Look for one more blog post from me reflecting on my service.

The People's Courts: Pursuing Judicial Independence in America
Whittington, Keith E., The Historian
The People's Courts: Pursuing Judicial Independence in America. By Jed Handelsman Shugerman. (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2012. Pp. 381. $35.00.)
In this impressive piece of work, the author examines the history of popularly elected courts in the United States. The book is sweeping, covering debates over judicial organization and selection from the Jeffersonian era to the present. The core of the book, however, is focused on the decades before the Civil War, particularly the Jacksonian period. The United States is unusual in subjecting most of its judges to some form of election. The federal judiciary is the outlier in the American context with its reliance on political appointment of life-tenured judges, but the national courts tend to receive most of the scholarly and popular attention. State and local judges do much of the work of the American legal system, however, and understanding how these judicial systems were constructed and what the consequences of their organization might be remain important scholarly projects.
Jed Handelsman Shugerman's thesis is that the rise of judicial elections followed economic crisis. The recessions of the 1840s led political reformers to blame state legislators for political and economic mismanagement. Appointed judges were seen to be pawns of elected politicians. Judicial elections would create more distance between the courts and the legislatures and potentially empower judges to act in the public interest by reining in legislative power. Rather than being a partisan project of Jacksonian Democrats, the movement for judicial elections swept through the political system and became a broadly supported proposition. For the most part, reformers, led by constitutional drafters in New York, got what they wanted: more independent-minded judges willing and able to exercise the power of judicial review and influence state economic policy. …

Patient Comments: Ankle Pain And Tendinitis - Symptoms
How long did the symptoms of your ankle pain and tendinitis last? Was there anything in particular that helped with pain/symptom relief?
Comment from: Jenna, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: March 26
I run track in middle school and recently hurt my ankle. At first, I thought I simply sprained it, so I got an ankle brace and decided to brave through it. Lately, my ankle has been hurting a lot, so I decided to see my personal trainer. He did a few tests and diagnosed me with tendonitis. He gave me a couple exercises to help, but they are very painful. When I finish, my ankle hurts worse than it did when I started. I'd like to know about additional stretches that are just as effective and a little less painful?
Comment from: Jade, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: November 25
I've been having heel pain for about seven months now. This started a day after a session of intense cardio boot camp. Swelling in my ankle, and pain in my heel are the only symptoms. They occur while I am active or at rest, but I notice it most often when I am just sitting or lying down. I have seen four doctors and have had no tests run. The doctors can't figure out my symptoms (as it's not plantar fasciitis), but they have yet to use any diagnostic tools. I just keep getting prescribed NSAIDs. I've done physio and massage therapy. I finally just started going back to the gym, and it seems to help when I run and do weight-bearing exercise regularly. The symptoms don't completely disappear, but they're much less noticeable. However, I still get occasional swelling around my ankle at completely random times.
Comment from: Ali B., 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 13
Over the last six months I noticed a weakness or irritation of my left ankle that is chunkier that my right ankle, which is unaffected. Yesterday, I saw my doctor who recommended a Voltaren cream and a heel insert. My condition has not improved, but it feels much better with the cream and heel insert.
Comment from: Shobhit, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: November 13
Once I slipped from a motorcycle and the vehicle pressed my right ankle upon falling. I had bearable pain for three to four days and did not care. After three to four months, the pain suddenly developed and lasted for 10 days. Still, no medical aid was taken. Now, almost two years later, I still have lots of pain. I get pain more in the evening and while standing.
Comment from: mistaylady88, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 21
An injury at work last October of 2007 that was diagnosed as a left ankle sprain now has me like a cripple. After physical therapy, the pain continued, although I needed to get back to my job in nursing. This injury has resulted in my being out of work since April of 2008 and in a cast for eight weeks. I continue to be in pain almost every day. No inflammatory medications have been prescribed to me for pain, but I started physical therapy again. The physical therapy person seems to be more concerned than my doctor, and I should not be in this much pain after all this time. I am about to approach a second opinion from another doctor.
Comment from: mhc, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 12
I have had pain in my ankle on and off for over 17 years after breaking my ankle in two places for the second time. Since then, I have horrible jabbing pain at times when I step on it. If the pain lasted very long, I couldn't stand. Cortisone shots help, but they are being needed too close together. I am overweight, which doesn't help. I use OTC ibuprofen and Tylenol. Occasionally, I'll take half of a Demerol.
Comment from: Kaisa, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: August 11
I've now had plantar fascia for more than six years. It started with a surgery I had to remove a cyst that was attached to my Achilles tendon. I went through months of painful physical therapy and had some relief. I am a very active person in the evenings (i.e. softball, hardcore cardio, strength training, conditioning, etc.). Every morning the pain in my ankle wakes me up but after several hours of excruciating pain, the symptoms subside after stretching my foot and leg. I recommend lots of ice, anti-inflammatories and ankle wraps.
Comment from: Shelleyam, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 11
I'm 48 years old. I woke up one day in May, and my ankle hurt. My first thought was that I had a sprain that never healed. I went to the doctor and the MRI showed nothing. Now they say it's tendonitis. I am very active and can't stand this limping. Motrin doesn't help. Neither does bracing it.

ABSTRACT: The diagnosis of tuberculosis remains among public health concerns due to shortcomings of the purified protein derivative (PPD). Recombinant truncated 38 kDa protein (rTPA38) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated to screen new tuberculosis-specific tuberculin. 539 patients, 1133 healthy controls, and 55 guinea pigs were recruited to assess their sensitivity and specificity to rTPA38; 221 healthy controls, with negative responses to rTPA38 and PPD, were vaccinated with M. bovis BCG to determine their cross-reactions with M. bovis BCG. The Mantoux technique was adopted to perform skin tests. No difference in the sensitivity of skin tests was detected between rTPA38 and PPD (78.2% vs 83.4%), but there was a significant difference in the specificity of skin tests between rTPA38 and PPD (75.2% vs 47.0%). Compared to PPD, rTPA38 elicited low positive responses for those recruitments vaccinated with M. bovis BCG. The rTPA38 had significant skin reactions in M. tuberculosis-sensitized guinea pigs, and the opposite was true for both M. fortuitum- and M. kansasii-sensitized guinea pigs. These findings indicate that rTPA38 may have potential as a tuberculosis-specific skin test antigen.

This is what lead to Dragonfly entrusting her with Tin Can Turtle's soul, as well as Blitz's loyalty and Raven's (albeit initially begrudging) respect.Credenza: I wasn't trying to be a hero. I just saw they needed help. How could I turn away from that? I can't just look the other way and pretend there isn't evil at work here.

- A Spot Of Tea: His Trademark Favorite Drink.
- Big Bad
- Deadly Doctor
- Deal with the Devil: His ticket out of death, though neither he nor Great Raven honour the contract to the letter.
- Dragon-in-Chief: To the Great Raven.
- Dragon with an Agenda: Implied by the last page of Snowflakes, he's entirely willing to backstab the Raven for threatening his wife and daughter.
- The Dreaded
- Dream Weaver: Stealing Paollo's power has turned him into one. He uses this to terrorize the heroes in Book 9.

- Self-Made Orphan
- Torture Technician
- White Hair, Black Heart
Lucinda Potter
You accepted the slavery of the Raven because you were scared of death. I accepted because I was afraid to go on living. In exchange for my faithful service, the Raven agreed to take away my fear and sadness. I no longer wanted my life, I had no reason to refuse.
- Anti-Villain: Arguably.
- The Dragon
- Driven to Suicide: Plunges off a cliff.
- Taking You with Me: ...dragging Han down with her.
- Emotionless Girl: Justified, as part of her deal with the Raven. She keeps her emotions "over there in the corner, where they can't hurt her".
- Foil: Somewhat of one to Raven; by joining the Raven, she lost what he gained by leaving.
- Face-Heel Turn: She was the former Reader of the Listing of Names.
- Love Makes You Evil
- OOC Is Serious Business: Goes ballistic when she learns of Han's role in her backstory.
- Sorry That I'm Dying: Apologizes to Knull immediately before her suicide.
Knull Snow
Oh man, what have I gotten myself into? I don't belong here! I design armor! I'm not a killer like my uncle!
- Anti-Magic: A (very useful) ability of his, implied to be why Snow keeps him around.
- Anti-Villain
- Dark Chick: Oh yes.
- Empathy Doll Shot: The dream Credenza visits in chapter X appears to be his - there are broken toys around, but they seem to represent people - people most probably killed by dear uncle Adrian (Credenza herself is represented by a rather mangled doll).
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: At least compared to most of the rest of Snow's crew.
- Nervous Wreck: Ever since dear uncle Adrian murdered his family, most like.
- Punny Name: Possibly an unintentional example, but his magic revolves around nullifying other magic.
- Dogs Are Dumb
- I'm a Humanitarian: Will eagerly hunt and eat both humans and canines.
- Informed Species: Technically, he's a were-hyena, but is referred to as a were-dog.
- Killed Off for Real: Dies fighting Tatami.
- Speech Impediment: Obtains a thick lisp after his jaw is torn off and replaced.
- Younger Than They Look: Word Of God says that he is actually 17, but is aging faster due to spending most of his time in animal form.
Figures. The one time I don't kill a woman in her bed, it only causes trouble.
- All of the Other Reindeer: Grew up violent and narcissistic in an otherwise peaceful community of Face-Changers, hence why he was ostracized from said community and why he murdered them all in retaliation. (Including his own family. Especially his own family.)
- Dead Person Impersonation / Kill and Replace: Supposedly deserted from the Raven's army, but continued working for them under the guise of Vaniji.
- Dying as Yourself
- Smug Snake
- Stalker with a Crush: Towards Lucinda, as both himself, later as Vaniji, and earlier as Corveau (the man who broke her heart, resulting in her Heel-Face Turn). Lucinda isn't particularly bothered when she finds out about the latter.
- The Starscream: Has attempted to kill Captain Snow once or twice, at The Raven's encouragement. Whether or not The Raven ever intended for Han to succeed is another matter entirely.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: of the Humanshifting variety. Also scenery.
- Spot the Impostor: Tries this against Tuff and Riley; it falls apart when he can't carry Riley's BFS (and because the real Riley's pants were unbuttoned, which Han failed to notice).

- Psychic Link: The book's Reader is the only one it allows to understand its pages. Even after Lucinda's Face-Heel Turn (and the selection of a replacement Reader), she and the book were still able to sense each other's presence. Much later, the Listing immediately knows when Lucinda is dead.

Mikel: Well I just happen to ADORE long and complicated stories. Please, just call me Mikel.
- Nice Guy: Despite being royalty, he:

- Mind-Control Eyes
- Oh Crap!: Immediately before his cane is destroyed.
Mona Rolly

- You Can't Fight Fate: She tried. It didn't work out so well.

The Great Raven
I am a great wind, and you are a little candle. And I will extinguish you.
- Animal Motifs: Guess.
- Bigger Bad
- Manipulative Bastard
- Leaking Can of Evil: The Raven is sealed away, but can still manipulate his servants.
- Except, as it turns out, he can't. The Great Raven has no connection to the world beyond his prison at all; all of the lesser ravens are simply continuing to obey his last orders.
- Villain Override: He breaks his "no possessions" agreement with Snow only once, when he has the chance to kill Dragonfly.
- Chekhov's Gunman: First mentioned in Book 5, doesn't appear until Book 9.

The Assistant Minister of Preventive Services of Ministry of Health & Social Welfare has said the Ministry of Finance official who died of the Ebola virus in Lagos State, Nigeria, had left Liberia against warning not to leave. He didn't, however, state whether it was the Ministry of Health or the Ministry of Finance that warned him from leaving Liberia.
The Health Official, Mr. Tolbert Nyenswah, was referring to Mr. Patrick Sawyer, Coordinator of the ECOWAS National Unit at the Ministry of Finance.
"Mr. Sawyer was told not to leave the country, but he left," Mr. Nyenswah disclosed on FARBRIC radio's program on the Ebola issue yesterday July 30. He called to the program.
Reports say Mr. Sawyer was in Nigeria for an official meeting when he died of Ebola.
According to official communication from the Ministry of Finance, all Finance Ministry officials who had direct or indirect contact with the late Sawyer before he departed for Nigeria have been placed on the WHO-mandated 21-day surveillance beginning from July 20, the date the diseased Finance Ministry official left Liberia for Nigeria. Mr. Nyenswah said the government has traced Mr. Sawyer's movements to where he died by speaking to authorities of Liberia's international Airport (RIA) and those of Nigeria.
However, the government had not tracked the vehicle that took Mr. Sawyer to RIA. "Here is where we erred," Mr. Nyenswah responded to the question from Mr. Christian Nelson of Radio Lib, a US-based sister radio station of FARBRIC, on whether Liberia's Ministry of Health had tracked the vehicle to prevent its contact with uninfected persons.
The person with Mr. Sawyer in the vehicle to the Airport should also be tracked.
Minister Nyenswah noted that the World Health Organization (WHO) has said Liberia needs about US$14M to fight the Ebola virus in the country. "This is far more than the one-point-five million dollars the Ministry had requested, which some Liberians said was too much," the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of the Republic of Liberia stressed.
He admitted that the Ministry of Health genuinely appreciates the Liberian news media's partnership in the fight against the Ebola virus, but warned against politicization of the issue by the same pro-fight partner.
The Ebola virus entered Liberia, via Guinea, in March, 2014, and has killed over 125 persons in Liberia, according to official information from the Ministry of Health. Some of its victims are nurses at various hospitals, a Ugandan specialist doctor (Sam Mutooro Muhumuza) hired to contain the virus in Liberia, and, recently, a top medical doctor (Samuel Brisbane) at the John F. Kennedy Medical Center. The total number of deaths for 2014's alone is 672 for West Africa--current represented by Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The number is 112 more than that of 1976, when the virus was first discovered in the Republic of Congo. By Samuel G. Dweh

- For the media to disseminate news and complement their core platforms;
- For media personalities, celebrities, musicians and similar others to promote themselves and their work; and
- For some other unknown segment of the seemingly engaged public to consume what all of the above provide and/or use Twitter as means for activism, social connection and self-expression?
The Media Loves Twitter So Twitter Must Be Good
TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB - Get Report) made it clear -- what an IPO does on its first day of trading doesn't necessarily reflect its longer-term fortunes. With that said -- and because we run in a manic market -- I don't care one way or another what Twitter (TWTR - Get Report) does in its Thursday debut.Looking past the IPO, I'm not certain I'm sold on TWTR as a long-term investment. It doesn't mean I don't like it or never will. I'm just not as sold on it as I was Facebook or as in love with it as many of my colleagues are. Here's the problem with Twitter: The hype that surrounds it comes directly from the media. By directly from, I don't mean the media takes what's happening in the public sphere and sensationalizes it. Twists its meaning. Instead, I mean the media loves Twitter so much -- for good reason -- that it doesn't take the time to step back and consider the social network from a mass appeal, broader popular culture perspective. Can Twitter survive as a tool ...NEW YORK (

As we expand our operations domestically and abroad, we are committed to being a thoughtful and supportive citizen of our new communities. DaVita contributes to local and international organizations that are making a significant impact in people's lives. Through charitable contributions and volunteerism, we support nonprofit groups large and small that are dedicated to community development and sending forth ripples of citizen leadership. In particular, DaVita has donated millions of dollars to nonprofit organizations that are making strides in raising awareness of kidney disease.
We are passionate about helping people avoid dialysis. Through Tour DaVita, our Kidney Disease Awareness campaign and other programs, we aim to inform people at risk for kidney disease about early detection and ways to manage their health.
From revamping schools and community centers in low-income neighborhoods to providing holiday meals to those in need, we have held more than 1,400 community service projects over the past several years.
One of the most impactful ways we contribute to our communities on a local level is through DaVita Way of Giving. Each year, we invite clinical facilities across the country to choose an organization in their community to receive a charitable contribution. This year, nearly 75 percent of DaVita's nearly 3,000 dialysis facilities chose more than 950 local nonprofits and community organizations to receive a contribution. The program has donated a total of $4 million since it began. In HealthCare Partners' first year with DaVita Way of Giving, 46 clinics in four states donated to 38 different charities.

in response to DJWebDUckThere is only one backup kept of the recent state of the phone - and I am guessing that that is the 8th March version. I am guessing that between the 5th and the 8th March you updates to 3.1.3 and that the one dated the 5th is the 3.1.2 version to which you cannot go if it is.
If you want to go back beyond the last backup, you would need to restore an older backup from your regular hard disc backups, but you cannot go back to beyond the last system update I believe.
wjosten Mar 9, 2010 3:09 AM
in response to DJWebDUck SolvedOnly one iphone backup is kept, except for restore backups, its actually an incremental backup in that only the data that has changed is overwritten. That's why you see more than one date in the MobileSync folder. Restore backups are time date stamped and are not overwritten. Under preferences, the device pane, in itunes, how many backups do you show listed? There should only be one, unless there is also a restore backup listed. If you're trying to go back to 3/5 for the purpose of downgrading your software to 3.1.2, you can't. Apple signs all iphone firmware, thus the only firmware you can install on your phone is 3.1.3, no matter what backup you chose to restore from.

Nokia Lumia 920 Will Be Released in November [Report]
Since September 5 the Finnish handset manufacturer Nokia is in the headlines as the company unveiled its latest flagship smartphone – Lumia 920 alongside Lumia 820 at the Nokia World 2012 event in New York City.
At the time of unveiling, Nokia remained right lipped about the release date and pricing details of the handset. However, now it seems like the second generation Lumia smartphone based on Windows Phone 8 has got a pricing and tentative release date.
According to a recent Reuters report, Lumia 920 will hit the retail shelves in Europe in the second week of November and it will be priced similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3, which retails at 580 euros (approx. Rs 41,000).
While a TheVerge report suggests that the handset will be available in US starting from November 2, 2012. According to the report, several sources have confirmed that Nokia is working with Microsoft and AT&T to release the Lumia 920 in US.
At the same time, a recent report from Winfuture.de, a German website claims that the handset will be released in the country in mid-October for a price tag of 600 Euro (approx. Rs 42,000). Future Zone, an Austrian art magazine has reported that Nokia is looking forward to deliver the Lumia 920 from the middle of October in Germany as it wants to release the smartphone in some countries before launching it in all the markets.
However, there is no information regarding the Lumia 820 smartphone, which was also unveiled at the same time.
On the specifications front, Lumia 920 packs a 4.5 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels along with PureMotion HD and ClearBlack display technologies. The handset is equipped with an 8.7MP rear camera with PureView branding, 1.2MP front camera, 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal memory, NFC connectivity and 2,000 mAh Li-ion battery.

Commercial Portable Air Conditioners
Best Selling Commercial Portable Air Conditioners:View All
Shop by Category
A water cooled portable air conditioner is good to use if you have a dedicated recirculating water source.
Be sure to choose the right vent kit and accessories for your commercial portable air conditioner.
Commercial Portable Air Conditioners are Ideal for Factory, Warehouse, or Server Room Cooling
Commercial portable air conditioners are designed to cool warehouses, factories, server rooms or be used in other industrial applications. These heavy-duty products are designed with affordability in mind, as they offer spot cooling or supplemental cooling in an area where sophisticated cooling systems are not feasible or cost-effective.
Commercial portable air conditioners are made using sturdy materials and feature either water cooled or air cooled technology. Commercial units can be used in extreme conditions in which other cooling systems could not function, such as ambient temperatures up to 110°F. Although they range in cooling capacity, all commercial portable air conditioners are very powerful, starting around 13,000 BTU units and going all the way up to 120,000 BTU units.
Many commercial units are used to keep goods and/or equipment from overheating, whether that may be in a warehouse, factory, or computer server room.
With a variety of sizes and trust-worthy brands, such as Kwikool, you are sure to find the perfect commercial portable air conditioner for the job.

My husband and I are looking to relocate to Indianapolis area. We have family near Merriville and Ilinois. So we want to be closer to family.
Our main concern is schools especially for our oldest daughter. She's 8 and has Sensory Processing Disorder, anxiety and possibly ADHD (we think it's mainly sensory).
School is becoming increasingly difficult for her. We tried to get her an IEP and we failed. :-( She has a 504 plan. The teachers here don't seem to understand her issues.
She is very creative (loves to draw) in fact is in an art class and loves it. She's smart but she is we feel not fitting into mainstream education.
So, I'm wondering about public schools? Or perhaps looking at other options from homeschooling, charter schools, private or Montessori.
If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I hear the Hamilton County schools are excellent. But not sure that would be a fit for her?
I am not familiar at all with Indianapolis area. We've driven through it and dh does have 1 cousin in the area but her kids are grown out of college.
Thanks so much for your help!

Sony spins Spider-Man augmented reality app
Tapping into the on-the-go habits of today's digital generation and complementing the latest trailer for the July 3 release of The Amazing Spider-Man feature film reboot, Sony Pictures Entertainment has launched The Amazing Spider-Man AR, a free augmented reality, 3D app experience based on the movie.
The app, which is currently available for iPhone, iPod touch on the App Store and for Android devices on Google Play, allows fans to interact with the famous webslinger in online and real world environments through scanning features that unlock exclusive 3D animations shot by the movie's stunt team.
Users can find special images to scan through social channels, on the official movie website, and through the retail, online and editorial channels of Sony Stores, Activision, and Entertainment Weekly.
The app, which uses Qualcomm's Vuforia platform, also features a picture mode that lets users take their own unique photos of Spider-Man that can be shared with friends and family, and a single frame within the new trailer when scanned will also unlock a new animation.
Our spring edition of iKids Digital is now available! We're taking a look at the looming rise of VR in kids entertainment, how MCNs are boosting the marketing might of kidsnets, and the rise of artificial intelligence in kids tech toys.

Foxy Applique

This Foxy Applique design is great for any room in the house, from the living room to the nursery. With easy machine embroidery applique designs like this, you can have a unique quilt that's fun to make and even more fun to show off to friends!
- Fusible Web
- Fabric applique pieces
- Iron
- Sewing machine
- Thread to match fabric
- The first thing you need is some fusible web. This will hold your pieces tightly in place while you're sewing around them.
- Iron the wrong side of the fabric onto a piece of the fusible web. The backside of the web is a thick white paper, so once I've ironed and it's cooled, I sketch my shape right onto this paper and cut it out of the fabric. Just remember that your image will be reversed, so be careful about lettering. If you don't want to worry about that, you can sketch your image on another piece of paper and cut the fabric out using that sheet as a template.
- With all your pieces cut out, remove the paper backing and position them as you want to sew them. On the fox you can see how I added details beyond just the silhouette. The ears and tail will be made in white fabric, but the line of his hip will be outlined with stitching. When your pieces are in place, iron them down.
- Now it's time to sew. First of all, this does not need a fancy sewing machine. If you can adjust your stitches, you can machine applique. You'll need thread in an appropriate color – I usually match mine to the fabric, but you can get a great contrast effect too – and some kind of a stabilizer. The stabilizer keeps the fabric stiff and flat so that the stitches don't pull too tight and create a big puckery mess. You can get it at any fabric store, but I've always used flattened coffee filters. It does the job super great and really can't get much cheaper.
- This is the back of the piece I'm showing you here so you can see the coffee filters in action. Just place one behind the area you're appliqueing. Set your stitch to a zig zag stitch with a really short stitch length so that the zigs are almost right on top of each other. If you want a thick line of stitching, set your stitch width wide. Not so thick, not so wide. I normally like to keep the width in proportion to the shape I'm sewing. Smaller shapes get a thinner width. Sew around the edge of each shape so that those little raw edges get all covered up in pretty little stitches.
- Stitch on one shape at a time, starting with the pieces that go underneath, and layering the other pieces on top. To add in details like the fox's eyes and hip, just use the same stitch and go over the line you drew. Once you're done with your applique you just tear off all these coffee filters, give it a good iron, and use it however you want to.

Pathways into Darkness by Deimos-RemusWatch
©2013-2016 Deimos-Remus
Poster design for Bungie's forgotten game, Pathways into Darkness, the spiritual predecessor to Marathon. Yeah, Marathon had a predecessor.
Bungie, go back to your roots, I mean it!
Bungie, go back to your roots, I mean it!
Someone should make a port of this to Xbox, like how Freeverse ported Marathon 2 to Xbox.
Yeah, but I sure hope they'd change the interface. PiD's interface was so irritating. I thought that the Marathon port was pretty good, though I think I prefer playing it on a mac.
I still have my old manual for it somewhere, with that damned false bomb code. I emulate it sometimes to play it a bit when I'm bored. Bungie should remake/Port it honestly. I remember reading somewhere that people fit the games story into Marathon's. But anyways, I really dig the poster, it says a lot to people who remember the game.
It was in the fan-made port 'Aleph One' where the two stories meshed together a bit at the beginning of the game. There is a modern conversion I believe where it uses PiD's game but with Marathon's more convenient interface (PiD's was super irritating) called Marathon: PiD or Marathon: Pathways into Darkness. Can't remember if it was completed, but it might be worth checking out.
Bungie needs to revisit both this and Marathon, I sincerely hope they tackle one of them after Destiny.
Thanks a bunch! Glad you like it!
Beautiful work!
Good to know someone else remembers this classic.
Good to know someone else remembers this classic.
Thanks a bunch! Bungie's earlier titles were great, PiD and Marathon were so strange and had such layered stories.
Exactly! Everything Bungie later did with terminals, crazed AIs, and, oh, say vast creeping alien intelligences started in Marathon and PiD!
Yup! Marathon to me has the best story in any game I've ever played, but without sacrificing gameplay like many games now. Same with PiD, though its interface didn't have much to be desired.
I wish Bungie would give Marathon more exposure and even though I'd probably love the originals more, I wish they'd create a reboot. They obviously still love their property, and it still belongs to them, unlike Halo. I know that after Destiny, they do have some plans relating to Marathon, but what I don't know.
Could you make this a print?
Can I buy this off you?
It's actually posted over here as a print if you'd like to buy from Society6. They do have nice quality. Thanks for taking interest by the way!
Love this design. Very graphically pleasing to the eye with a tinge of creepy.
Nice style, really miningful. I like minimalist posters in general, and this one is truly good
That's a really cool design.
Astonishing, great impact!
Wow! Awesome work!
I'll admit I've never heard of it...but DAMN, this poster kicks ass.
Ha, thanks man!
The game itself has a very annoying HUD interface, but the story, like Marathon's is amazingly layered and eerie.
Simple and clean...LOVE IT!
That's great buddy, love it!
Anubis, Chthulu and Hades disapprove.

Great bread; soft and fluffy with a touch of sweetness. I started this in the bread machine on the dough setting and then baked it in the oven (my bread come out hard when cooked in the bread machine). This rose nicely and baked up in 16 minutes at 350 degrees F. Will make this again! Made for PAC Fall 2011.
