" After a burn-in period over night, I have to say that these are the best IEMs I've ever listened to.

AbstractThe propulsion motors under development for use on the U.S. Navy�s next generation destroyer, the DDG 1000, are in need of novel insulating resins that exceed the performance properties of the currently available vacuum-pressure impregnation (VPI) resins. Texas Research Institute Austin, Inc. proposes a new high temperature resin that exhibits excellent dielectric properties, can withstand short rise-time voltage surges associated with the use of a pulse width modulated (PWM) drive, and will dissipate thermal energy quickly away from the coils in order to effectively increase the power density for the motor. The resin will be engineered to be fully compatible with the VPI process. During Phase I, TRI/Austin will be teaming with a manufacturer of Naval advanced induction propulsion motors. This corporation will provide technical assistance and finite element analysis modeling of the proposed resin. An established supplier of VPI resins to the military will also be involved as a technical advisor and potential commercialization partner. The feasibility of the new resin will be proven through the generation of in-house experimental thermal, electrical, and physical property data followed by computational modeling to show predicted behavior in a large-scale motor.

Facebook Question: Driver updates
Updates, updates, everywhere there are updates for your computer, so you should be updating everything all the time right? Well, not necessarily.
Kevin asked us on Facebook ,about a website, that offered to update all his drivers. Drivers are small software programs that control your hardware and updating them all at once is a bad idea.
Driver conflicts are one of the most frustrating problems your computer can have.
Kevin, here's our advice to you and anyone else who comes across one of these offers. Be careful! These types of programs can cause a problem where one didn't exist before.
Unless you are trying to solve a known problem, we'd suggest you take a pass!
In general updates are good, but in this case, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Griffins' Team News 2015
Welcome to Seventh Grade!
We are looking forward to an exciting new year, and we hope you are ready to get off to a great start. This letter will provide some basic information which will help to assure your success, so pay close attention to its contents. It is our goal to assist students in developing their own intellectual curiosity. As young learners grow into scholars, they begin to participate in their learning by self-motivated research, and by applying creative solutions in a manner beyond their years. For their brilliance to shine effectively, students must acquire a degree of organization, a skill we will do our best to teach, with a lot of support from parents.
Workload: The team will work together to avoid burdening students with too much homework. We will do our best to limit tests to two per day (there may be exceptions), and to avoid tests on dates major projects are due. Quizzes are possible on any day in multiple subjects, but students will have notice in advance, and will not be overly stressed. Homework will average 20-30 minutes per subject per night.
Materials: Please refer to the teacher policies. It would be best for students to have a flash drive used only for school related purposes. Please donate a box of tissue and hand sanitizer to your child's homeroom.
Team Policies:
1. Have an agenda, 2 pencils, pen, paper, notebook, and the appropriate book for each class.
2. Every subject must have an agenda entry every day.
3. No late work- Each team teacher has a specific amnesty policy which can be applied to one assignment, but not any assignment, per nine weeks.
4. Be seated with materials out BEFORE the bell.
5. Raise your hand and wait to be called on to speak. Stop talking immediately if a teacher speaks or raises his or her hand.
6. The teacher, not the bell, dismisses the class. Do not pack-up early.
7. No food, drinks, gum, candy, etc. in the classroom.
8. Keep the classroom clean. Be prepared to do your part in cleanups.
9. Behave properly in the halls and other "anonymous" areas.
10. Please be considerate of others. Act like ladies and gentlemen at all times.
11. Grade recovery no longer exists. When the teacher determines the situation warrants, students may be allowed to retake failed tests. Students must immediately request a second chance opportunity to demonstrate proficiency. Please help this process by weekly monitoring of Oncourse.
12. The only packs allowed into classrooms are small string packs. Make certain that your main backpack fits into your locker.
13. Teacher conferences are to be scheduled by an email request to the teacher. Conferences are generally held immediately after school on Mondays or Tuesdays.

Morley (Come Sunday) scores with an audacious page-turner. Blythe Hollowell is only 16 when she's kidnapped and taken to live in an abandoned missile silo by Dobbs, a local conspiracy theorist, who has chosen her to help him repopulate the world after end times. If the premise and some of the concepts initially owe too great a debt to Emma Donoghue's Room, the specifics of life underground and Blythe's coping mechanisms—in particular, her touching habit of using memories to teach herself, as she gets older in captivity, how to be an adult—quickly set it apart. At first Blythe dreams of escape and resists Dobbs, but as the years pass, she weakens, and when she bears a son, Adam, and Dobbs becomes increasingly unpredictable, she resigns herself to life in captivity. Time passes without losing momentum, and soon Adam turns 15, questioning Dobbs's authority and demanding to go into the world they call Above. In a series of gripping twists, Morley elevates the complexities of Blythe and Adam's situation, deepening the themes of survival and dependence. The tension diffuses toward the end, but the majority of the book is a stellar and surprising ride. (Mar.)

I am a secret no one is able to tell.
Blythe Hallowell is sixteen when she is/b>/i>/i>
In the bestselling vein of Room and The Lovely Bones, a stunning and harrowing novel about a Kansas teenager who is abducted and locked away in an abandoned missile silo by a survivalist who believes he is saving her from the impending destruction of the world.
I am a secret no one is able to tell.
Blythe Hallowell is sixteen when she is abducted by a survivalist and locked away in an abandoned missile silo in Eudora, Kansas. At first, she focuses frantically on finding a way out, until the harrowing truth of her new existence settles in—the crushing loneliness, the terrifying madness of a captor who believes he is saving her from the end of the world, and the persistent temptation to give up. But nothing prepares Blythe for the burden of raising a child in confinement. Determined to give the boy everything she has lost, she pushes aside the truth about a world he may never see for a myth that just might give meaning to their lives below ground. Years later, their lives are ambushed by an event at once promising and devastating. As Blythe's dream of going home hangs in the balance, she faces the ultimate choice—between survival and freedom.
Above is a riveting tale of resilience in which "stunning" (Daily Beast) new literary voice Isla Morley compels us to imagine what we would do if everything we had ever known was taken away. Like the bestselling authors of Room and The Lovely Bones before her, Morley explores the unthinkable with haunting detail and tenderly depicts our boundless capacity for hope.
Editorial Reviews
Morley (Come Sunday) scores with an audacious page-turner. Blythe Hollowell is only 16 when she's kidnapped and taken to live in an abandoned missile silo by Dobbs, a local conspiracy theorist, who has chosen her to help him repopulate the world after end times. If the premise and some of the concepts initially owe too great a debt to Emma Donoghue's Room, the specifics of life underground and Blythe's coping mechanisms—in particular, her touching habit of using memories to teach herself, as she gets older in captivity, how to be an adult—quickly set it apart. At first Blythe dreams of escape and resists Dobbs, but as the years pass, she weakens, and when she bears a son, Adam, and Dobbs becomes increasingly unpredictable, she resigns herself to life in captivity. Time passes without losing momentum, and soon Adam turns 15, questioning Dobbs's authority and demanding to go into the world they call Above. In a series of gripping twists, Morley elevates the complexities of Blythe and Adam's situation, deepening the themes of survival and dependence. The tension diffuses toward the end, but the majority of the book is a stellar and surprising ride. (Mar.)
South Africa–born Morley makes a wild U-turn from the semiautobiographical Come Sunday (2009) to write a captivity novel that morphs into a post-apocalyptic adventure. Blythe is abducted at age 16 by Dobbs, a creepy survivalist who insists he's saving her from the imminent Armageddon. She spends 18 years below ground in an abandoned missile silo near her Kansas home, bearing a son, Adam, who is 15 when Blythe kills Dobbs with a crochet needle and emerges Above to find that there actually was a disaster: The meltdown of 90 nuclear reactors some 15 years ago killed off most of the global population and left the rest deformed by radiation. In a world where most babies are Defectives, genetically sound Adam is a hot commodity; with the help of a sympathetic employee, he and Blythe escape the sinister facility planning to harvest his sperm and travel across the devastated landscape in search of her family. This powerful material suffers from the imperfect integration of its component parts. More than half the novel chronicles Blythe's years in the silo--it's Room told from the mother's point of view but without Emma Donoghue's stylistic and thematic mastery. Moving episodically through 18 years, the narrative throws out shards of insight into the evolution of Blythe's relationship with Dobbs and her strategies to protect Adam, but they never cohere into a full picture. Blythe's and Adam's initial post-silo wanderings nicely render her growing awareness that something is very wrong Above, but they occupy too many pages given the limited amount of space Morley has left herself to explore the new reality they must cope with. The excellent scenes following their escape, which show a shattered humanity trying to rebuild in small communities of damaged people, require more development to make the denouement in Blythe's ruined hometown truly meaningful, though it's quite moving nonetheless. A whole host of interesting ideas stuffed into a lopsided structure that doesn't support the author's high ambitions. Still, very intriguing and provocative.
Blythe Hallowell is 16 when she's abducted by school librarian Dobbs Hordin, a survivalist who believes the apocalypse is imminent. Dobbs hides Blythe in an abandoned missile silo where they will ride out the end of the world, emerge, and restart the human race. As the years pass, Blythe must learn to cope with the crushing loneliness that comes as Dobbs leaves to gather supplies and she is left alone for days and weeks at a time. After her son, Adam, is born, she seems to give up on escaping and focuses on teaching her son about a world he's only seen in books. After 17 years of captivity, Blythe and Adam reenter a world that has changed more than either of them could ever have imagined. VERDICT Morley (Come Sunday) tells a compelling story that builds suspense. While the truth of Dobbs's predictions may not surprise all readers, Morley's vision of a postapocalyptic Kansas is haunting enough to make for a true page-turner. Half abduction story (like Emma Donoghue's Room), half dystopian fiction, this novel will appeal to fans of both. [Library marketing.]—Portia Kapraun, Monticello-Union Twp. P.L., IN

Read an Excerpt
DOBBS WINS THE fight easily. He shuts and locks the door. I feel a small sense of relief. With a hulking slab of metal separating us, I am finally able to breathe just a little. It is only when I hear another thump, another door closing someplace above me, that I understand: not only am I to be left alone; I am to be hidden.
I am a secret no one is able to tell.
Just like that, instead of wishing Dobbs gone, I am waiting for him to come back.
Surely, it won't take long.
When Dobbs returns, I'll take him off guard. I'll push past him, dash outside, and sprint across the field. I will steer clear of the road. I'll head for the line of sycamore trees along the creek. I'll make my way east, and he won't think to follow me there on account of its being trappers' territory. Even if I do get snared, it'll be better than this, because someone will find me. Nobody's going to find me here, whatever here is. A dungeon? I can't make any sense of it. A big round room with a massive pillar right through the middle of it. Contraptions, wires, pipes, spigots, dials. I keep my back turned to the space, keep my face pressed up against the door. It is made of steel and has a handle, although not like one I've ever seen. Something a bank might have on its vault.
What has he done? What's happened to me?
Surely, Dobbs should be getting back by now. He'll take me out of here. He'll explain it to me, not like before, which didn't make any sense. He won't be rough, either. Or cross. He'll be nice, like how he is in the library.
I look at Grandpa's pocket watch; only fifteen minutes have passed. Even though it is still ticking, I wind it tight. If only I were still at the Horse Thieves Picnic, our town's annual tradition that I look forward to all year. The gathering that attracts a couple thousand people has since moved from its original location among the walnut trees of Durr's Grove to Main Street, and its contests no longer include Largest Mustache for Boys Under 17 or Baby with the Worst Case of Colic, but there is still a parade and a carnival. Apart from the parade, the next most popular event is the concert at the bandstand, where Daddy, no doubt, is now line dancing. It takes no effort to imagine what my sister and brothers are doing. Suzie, with Lula Campbell, will be strutting around the midway looking for boys, and Gerhard, not actually bleeding to death from wrecking his pickup on I-70 like Dobbs had first said, will be off with his pals to scale the water tower. Having left the Horse Thieves Picnic early on account of Theo's fever, Mama's likely fallen asleep on her bed, the fan moving what the lazy July evening can't be bothered to blow through the window. No one has probably even noticed that I'm gone. How long will it take them before they do? And when they do, where will they imagine I am? What will they think the cause for my absence is? They won't be imagining anything bad, that's for sure. Bad things don't happen in Eudora, Kansas.
I look over my shoulder at the space behind me. The enormous concrete pillar and two partitions divide the round room into halves. Behind the partitions is where Dobbs said I could get myself something to drink. I can see a bit of the recliner, where I was told to sit and wait.
I don't like the looks of anything behind me, so I keep my eyes on Grandpa's watch. The minute hand and I go for long walks around the numbers. And then the numbers, the watch face, and everything else disappear, just like the time lightning split the maple tree outside our living room and we all vanished in its blinding flash. It's like that, except in reverse. The darkness has swallowed me whole.
I can't see my hand, even when I hold it up to my face. Nothing seeps through the darkness. I keep waiting for my eyes to adjust. The outline of the partitions or the big concrete pillar should be visible. I start shivering.
I think I hear something. "Dobbs?"
The darkness snatches my voice and issues nothing in return.
Don't panic. The electricity's gone out; give it a minute.
If this were home, Mama would be feeling her way to the pantry for the lantern and the matches she keeps on the top shelf. Gerhard would have the flashlight under his chin, his bottom teeth thrust outward and his eyes crossed and buggy, and Suzie would be getting all hysterical, as if he really were the bogeyman. And Daddy would be chiding Gerhard, but only halfheartedly, because there's nothing better than spooking girls.
But this is not home. This is not any kind of place you'd put a person. What kind of things do people put in a place like this? How far underground am I? There were a lot of stairs and a long passage that kept making sharp left and right turns. And too many doors to keep track of. Locks.
Just think of home. Just give it a minute. Just wait.
There is no way to tell what time is doing. Has it been five minutes or half an hour? Shouldn't the electricity have kicked back on by now?
There is a creak somewhere behind me, to the left. A shifting. My ears strain. I hold my breath so I can hear better. Is there something in here with me? Something doing the breathing for me? In. Out. Sounds like air through clenched teeth. Something with its lips drawn back. Oh Lord, what if it comes for me?
I mustn't move. Not a sound, or I will give myself away.
How could anything have entered? Is there a hole in the wall? Maybe the noise is nothing but a draft coming through a vent. But maybe it isn't. Maybe some inner door opened. Because this no longer feels like a confined space but a very large one, widening still.
There is something behind this door, too. Something that turns it freezing cold. I scoot back, exposed. On my hands and knees, I shuffle over to where the kitchen is supposed to be. I must hide. Hurrying as fast as I can, I ram straight into something. My head about cracks. I can't make any sense of what I've hit—something with knobs. I keep hurrying, this time with one hand outstretched.
My hand locates the leg of the table. I get under it, bring my knees up to my chin, and grip myself tightly. Maybe whatever is making the sound is one of those things that can see in the dark. Which means it can see me under the table with the chair legs pressed against me. It doesn't help to tell myself my imagination is playing tricks on me. Please. Oh, please.
Sit still. Don't move. Quiet. Ssh. Help me, someone, please, God.

I was given a copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley, in return for an honest review. I have to pause and compose my thoughts before writing my review of "Above". My feelings while reading it spanned an entire spectrum of emotions. I was drawn in to the story immediately. The entire book is told in the first person, through Blythe's eyes. As one would imagine, it seems absolutely horrible, being kidnapped from a small town as a teenager. And things only go down hill from there. During the section entitled 'Below', where Blythe is kept in an abandoned Silo, we are shown a smart and scared little girl. She tries everything that she can think of to escape. Over the years her strategy changes and she is continuously faced with new challenges, but she doesn't give up hope that she will eventually find a way out. And neither does the reader. I was surprised to find that Blythe never got on my nerves as some characters tend to do in these situations. However, there were points at the middle and end of this section, that I wanted to put the book down and just not continue it. But I kept going because it is very hard for me to not finish a book, and also, I had promised to give a review. I kept reading, and when we finally reached the end of 'below' I was glad that I had! However, it wasn't very far into the 'Above' section when I realized that this was not the type of book that I had signed up for. I was interested in reading about the kidnapping, not what happened after. But I trudged along, even more horrified by what I was reading about 'Above' than what had happened 'Below'. My feelings for this book just kept withering away. It seemed beyond redemption. As I said at the beginning of this review, my feelings were all over the place. By the end, somehow, this book had wormed its way back into my good graces. I'm not sure when or how this exactly happened, but by the time it was done, I am happy to report that I actually liked it. The last 2 chapters really pulled it all together. I can't make myself give it 4 stars because of all the heartache it gave me, but 3 doesn't seem to do it justice. 3.5 would be perfect, and I recommend it to those who are on the fence about reading it.
The beginning of Blythe's story is one of sadness and survival. This part of the book chronicles Blythe's life as a captive of Dobbs Hordin, the length of her captivity and the things that she endured inside an abandoned missile silo is heartwrenching to read. Blythe must get above but will she be able to learn survive up there as she learnt to survive in the silo. The second half of the book chronicles Blythe's life above the silo and this is where the book turns into dystopian fiction. What Blythe didn't know is that not only was she dragging herself into a collapsed world but she was also taking her son into a world that would like to harvest his perfection from him. Luckily along the way the find people willing to help them and finally there is hope. Some parts of this story, particularly those in art one, are hard to read due to the subject matter and then there are other parts that seem monotonous. My favorite character was Arlo because he never gave up on trying to find Blythe. Of course most hated character was Dobbs and in my opinion he died in a more peaceful way than he should have. I don't know about anyone else but when a character is evil defined it is always nice to see justice done to them in a particularly heinous way but Dobb's death was not like this but there was a small consolation that at least if anyone did it it got to be Blythe that did him in even if he was right about the end of the world and all.
this is a scary reality the story shows the desperately consign struggle between one child and her deluded captor. He believes he is saving her from the apocalypse. She is kept in the abandoned missal site near her home town. Forced to look at his deluded writing, and kept hairless, and starving, she hardly has the ability to resist his attention, or imprisonment. Although it seems that he does not understand that he is who is imprisoning her, she tries desperately to reason with his deluded mind and fight her inner monsters. Does her family miss her, are they looking for her, how can she escape, and save someone else from his twisted ideology.
Good idea and story line but toward the end it just fell apart and was no longer interesting.
Certainly is a page turner and mid way through everything changes. Interesting.
I read the first 42 pages of this book which was the sample and went on to something else but I couldn't get it off my mind and finally resigned myself to reading it. I finished it in three days, compelled thoughout to keep reading. As post-apocalyptic novels go, this is as hair-raising as it gets. But the last couple of chapters were, to me, lyrically redemptive. Nothing that came before made me cry (altho it could give me nightmares ) but the love,, hope, and redemption of the ending brought me to tears. This is a writer with the power to describe worlds within and an almost unimaginable world without in such a way as to leave you changed.
When Blythe Hallowell is kidnapped she thinks, at first, all her kidnapper wants is to hurt her. When Dobbs tells her she was taken to be kept safe from the coming apocalypse, she's scornful. She just wants to go home to her parents, siblings, and the boy she loves. As the months and years go by, she's slowly given up hope of ever leaving the missile silo in which she's held. After seventeen years Below, Blythe and her 15 year old son, Adam, finally have a way out. When they go Above, it is nothing like Blythe remembers and it appears Dobbs was right about the end of the world. Now Blythe and Adam face new dangers on their road to Blythe's old hometown. Can their time Below save them from the horrors of Above? ABOVE is a heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel. When Blythe is trapped below, the author has a way of making it appear as if time is standing still for her and effortlessly shows the effects of the mental and physical torture she endures. The first half of the book, set Below, is a tribute to human endurance and the knife's edge of madness one in Blythe's situation will teeter upon. The second half of the book, set Above, was a little more odd as Blythe and Adam had to navigate a wholly unknown and terrifying world. It was definitely interesting experiencing their "firsts" along with them. The second half of the book was a little more difficult to wrap my head around, but all together ABOVE is an enticing and haunting story.
Above is intriguing, suspensful, gripping and you will not want to put it down. It is very well written with many twists and turns. Enjoy
Dobbs is an extreme Prepper. You know the individuals, the ones who prepare for worse case scenarios; storing up weapons, water and supplies believing that when these events strike they will survive, well Dobbs was excessive. The missile silo was perfect to contain his valued possessions and after many years, it was finally ready. He'd thought of everything and I do mean everything, he puts the people on the TV series to shame. Dobbs was prepared to start his own colony with all of the assets that were inside his bunker; he just needed one more thing. Blythe. Dobbs had been keeping an eye on sixteen-year old Blythe and he knew she was just perfect to complete what he set out to do. She never made it home that night, but found herself in Dobb's vehicle wishing she had never accepted the ride. Blythe did not want to be part of Dobb's Remnant as he told her of his plans. She is one feisty girl from day one. The days turn into months, which turn into years as Blythe goes through the motions of living inside a silo cutoff from civilization. Think dark, depressing and lonely and that describes Blythe's days. When her son Adam is born, Adam asks lots of questions about the world outside the silo, adding tension and frustration to the household. Blythe feels torn between Adam and Dobbs, fear and the love of her child are tearing her up. Dobbs has warned the two about the despair that lies outside the silo walls but the duo is desperate to break free from the confines of their walls. As Adam and Blythe finally open the door and breathe in the fresh air from outside, is the freedom that they have been craving awaiting them or did Dobbs speak the truth? I loved this book! I was so excited to read this that I could not wait to get my hands on it. Dobbs was the extreme Prepper, he thought of everything and the author did a great job with details explaining Dobbs, his actions and behavior – such a hard, detailed, centered individual. Blythe, a character that I loved at times and others I wanted to yell at her (which makes her a great character to me). She comes from a small town (my impression) so her actions reflect that but she's so determined and so feisty in her actions. She also has heart, she knows right from wrong and even in the worst case, she tries to stand by her morals. Adam, was a fun kid and as he grows up he becomes a typical teen being rebellious and asking questions. The book covered a lot of years but the author did a terrific job incorporating a lot of different aspects into the book and with her choice of words, this time flow was terrific. There are so many details in the book that I enjoyed but I don't want to spoil the book for others. I will say that I laughed about Adam's tattoos and will never forget Sunflower. "Its sunlight, son. I can't turn it off." I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. Thanks NetGalley!!
I think it's safe to say at this point in my life I was not the intended audience for this book. I wanted to show up for the party, and I had every intention of dancing with a pretty lass until the world ended, and I met my maker on the back of a pickup truck. But, alas, it twas not to be. The door was slammed in my face, and I was unable to march through the threshold. Or maybe I was at the bottom of a pit while the laughing hyena on top smiled and grinned at me. Blythe Hallowell didn't really work for me as a character, and as the leader of this charade, I felt more than a little cheated and dismayed. Sure, she's lived a sheltered life, kept against her will, and has a son named Adam who is her pride and joy. But she seemed to travel back in time in both spirit and vocabulary, instead of dealing with the present apocalypse at hand. The plot seemed more than a little out of place within the ABOVE pages, and my mind raced a little too hard to fill in a few of the story gaps. Or maybe that was just my memory lapse. Dobbs didn't really have a decent bone in his body, and I like to see a bit more from my villains. He was more one-dimensional enemy than a man who got lost somewhere within the confines of this life or the next. And he had plenty of time to build up a little rapport with the heroine of this tale, but he failed on multiple levels. The big escape left me grasping for more, even if my wishes were going to remain unfulfilled. And a life such as this could have used a little more bliss, even if the world was ready to end. And the big reveal at the end of this tale left me shaking my head, as I turned in for bed. I slipped away hoping to come back again someday, only to have my world filled with a shimmering array of darkness. Maybe, though, I just need to blame myself for not getting it and call it a day, because while I like to think I have a grand master plan if the world were to come to an end tomorrow. I don't. I'd probably just pack up my ship and sail out to sea and hope that a monster with a few extra tentacles somehow doesn't find me. I received this book for free through NetGalley.

Jon "AZ" Atzenhofer, a resident of Oklahoma City, Okla., has been named a Highway Angel by the Truckload Carriers Association. This is the second time this professional truck driver has earned his Angel wings. Atzenhofer, who drives for FTC Transportation, also of Oklahoma City, is being recognized for taking the time to stop and help an accident victim.On June 4, 2013, at about 7 a.m., Atzenhofer was traveling westbound on I-40, about 10 miles west of Santa Rosa, N.M. Suddenly, a small passenger car that was driving eastbound flipped 2 to 3 times, coming to a stop upright on the median. All of the vehicles in front of Atzenhofer kept going, but he felt compelled to stop. Atzenhofer called 911, grabbed his gloves, and ran to the scene, where he found that all of the windows were blown out except – ironically – the one on the driver's side.

Several have reported strange behavior among their backyard garden faries. Could they be too be confused by the strange weather of 2010/2011?
Weather affecting faries?
I have only one fairy outside. TOO HOT for fairies!!! Texas had an awful summer.
Hey my friend, how have you been feeling. I've been concerned since I haven't heard anything from you in a while. It's been such a long hot summer here too but last few days has been a welcome cool spell. I've been making a new mini container garden and will post pics when I get it finished. Good to hear from you girl, Laney
I guess you know about my Dysautonomia as well as my CFS. The Autonomic Nervous system stops working correctly. Heart rate, Blood pressure, temperature, many things. I was VERY ill when the Dys. started, but with help from my integrative doctors and supplements, I am feeling better. Heat is a trigger so I have to stay inside. Sad, I miss going out. I go out with hubby for errands, etc but NO gardening. Just my African Violets inside. My angel hubby does it all outside. We have someone mow now, but he works hard outside and inside. Sweet guy!
I will be able to go out when it cools off, I am looking forward to that! The drought, temps, and now FIRES have been so sad.
I'm so sorry to hear you have been feeling so bad. Thank God you have an awsome husband! I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and have been for quite a while. We are just getting over a little cool snap, hi 80's low in mid 60's. Was wonderful! Autum is just around the corner and I know you can't wait and neither can I.
Thank you for your prayers!!!! Yes, fantastic hubby!!! Enjoy your cool snap. I am really looking forward to fall.
Love the pic!!!

Iraq Discord Shades Putin's U.S. Visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak at the U.N. General Assembly when he visits the United States this week. He'll also meet with President Bush at Camp David. Russia strongly opposed the war in Iraq, and recently Putin told reporters that the current situation in Iraq confirms Russia's position. But he also held out the possibility of helping with Iraq's reconstruction. NPR's Lawrence Sheets reports.

Dr is great along with his nurses. Front desk rude and no caring at all. I have referred 6 people to this Dr. But after the staff was rude to me and my daughter I will no longer go to this doctor.
by Cynthia on Jan 29th, 2013
Dr. McPhillips is awesome. Extremely nice, affable, professional and great bedside manner. My son needed major jaw surgery and the oral surgeon who we saw for over 10 years leading up to the surgery informed us at the last minute that he did not take our medical insurance. Dr. McPhillips took us on and expedited the paperwork and pre-op procedures so my son could have the surgery and recover enough to return to school in the fall. He was in the OR over seven hours and my son is transformed and now smiles.

I've never used FrontPage or any other program that automatically creates HTML. Therefore, I was entirely baffled by folders created in a web site (I volunteer for this organization) that seemed to contain duplicates of files under the main directory: _derived, _private, _vti_cnf, _vti_pvt, _vti_script, and _vti_txt.
Through a search engine, I discovered it's FrontPage's web folders and read through the extensions that each folder contains.
Since FrontPage has been replaced by Notepad and an FTP client to update the web site, would deleting these folders have any repercussions?

Josh Roberts is that man.
The two-time team MVP did what he does best once again on Saturday night against the Sydney Blue Sox, driving in the winning run with his first home run of the season as the Bandits took down the home team 3-1 in extra innings.
"Roberts is one of the top three Aussie players in the country and he's our best player and go-to guy," Brisbane manager Kevin Jordan said. "Not just on the field but how he approaches the game. He's the heart and soul of this team."
Not only did Roberts hit the go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the 11th, but he also saved Brisbane from potential damage in the eighth with an amazing diving catch in shallow right field. All of this came just one night after the 26-year-old notched his 100th career Australian Baseball League hit, the first Bandits hit of the year.
The win was the first of the season for Brisbane in their second game of the three-game set at Blacktown International Sportspark in Round Two of the ABL, brought to you by 'Be the Influence: Tackling Binge Drinking'.
Great baseball games are often won on pitching and defence, and although this one could still be going if not for the Roberts knock, the game was not short on either.
Just after the spectacular Roberts catch was another defensive run saved by second baseman Brad Dutton. Dutton made a leaping snag in the air, showing off his vertical and keeping the Blue Sox runner at second base, and the scored tied at one.
Brisbane (1-1) got on the board first in the fourth inning. Japanese centre fielder Hirotoshi Onaka led off the inning with his first double of the season and was driven in by Arkansas native Cody Clark. That was all the Bandits would get in regulation.
The visitors were forced into extras after the Blue Sox (3-2) knotted the game in the bottom of the seventh. After a two-out fielding error by David Sutherland, Jacob Younis doubled in the runner at second.
James Albury got the start for the Bandits and threw more innings in a game than he has in almost two seasons, since returning from having Tommy John surgery. The right-hander threw five shutout frames, allowing just three hits, walking three and striking out six.
"It was a good team effort," Jordan said. "Albury threw real well. We know pitching is [Sydney's] strength and he and the rest of our [pitching] staff did a good job of keeping us in the game. We were able to scratch a run across and that gave us a chance."
Southpaw import Chuck Lofgren got his first taste of Bandits action when he came on in relief in the sixth inning. The California native threw three innings allowing one unearned run with one strikeout.
Justin Erasmus made his season debut in the ninth inning and held the Blue Sox down for the final three frames. The contender for a spot on Team Australia in the upcoming World Baseball Classic threw three shutout innings allowing just one hit, three walks and striking out six to earn the win.
Brisbane will send Chris Smith to the hill for the rubber match of the three-game series against the Blue Sox on Sunday. The Kentucky native is making his ABL debut after throwing a no-hitter in the Greater Brisbane League just one week ago.

Pretty and very nice cut
play in fire and hit things with a hammer
My work in glass and metal originates with my dad. He was a welder that could seemingly make anything. He left me his tools and an interest in Western America, geology,rocks, metal working, and music. I have turned these interests into the Fire Forged Studio where I do hot glass, lapidary and metal work. I don't have any fancy tools and use very simple technology.
I consider myself to be very fortunate. I was successful and retired early in life. I have a beautiful supportive wife of over 40 years and a successful daughter with a wonderful grandson and granddaughter.
