For a Working Mom, Time Management Means Doing Less With Her Baby
by Lauren Weber
Life with a new baby is a strange blend of busyness and tedium. During my recent maternity leave, I often woke up in the mornings and thought to myself, "How are we going to get through the next 13 hours?"
The days were a blur, yet time often passed like the slow drip of a broken faucet. My son and I had so much time together, but relatively few ways to fill that time.
A single trip to Target could be stretched into a half-day outing. I saved up recycling so we could make multiple trips to the compactor room down the hall from my apartment. We visited elderly neighbors whose homes I'd never set foot in before.
Now that I'm back at work, my conundrum has been turned upside down. Instead of languorous empty days, I have just two or three hours with my 6-month-old. In the mornings, before I drop him off at day care, I'm often hustling him into his jacket just minutes after he wakes up. In the evenings, after I pick him up at 6 PM, we have only an hour to play before his bedtime routine begins.
So now I'm at a loss of a different kind: How to fill up that precious evening hour? The problem is not that it stretches before me like an empty road. Instead, it feels shorter than a shoelace.
In my first few weeks as a working mother, our tight timeframe brought out in me a sort of manic camp director.
I found myself trying to cram a full day of play into just 60 or so minutes, moving frantically among the stations of my son's favorite activities.
I put him in his beloved doorway jumper for 10 minutes. Next, we moved on to the activity gym on his nursery floor, followed by a few rounds of pattycake or peekaboo. We wrapped up with a game of airplane — balancing him on my knees or feet, he could float a few feet above me.
This routine proved to be weirdly desperate and pretty unsatisfying, not to mention exhausting, for me at least. I realized that manic play isn't exactly the 'quality time' we need in the evenings.
So I've begun experimenting with a different approach. Instead of entertaining my little one after our long day away from each other, I'm trying to think of that time as a chance to reconnect. I'm less focused on activities, and more focused on just being together.
One night last week, I just held him in my lap for most of that hour, making his favorite sounds (he loves it when I whistle or trill my tongue) or talking quietly to him while he gummed his favorite stuffed animal.
He occasionally watched me, smiled, cooed or tried to mimic my sounds; sometimes he ignored me and applied himself 100% to chewing on the fabric toy. It felt good just to have him in my arms. I'm hoping our evening routine will continue to evolve as we both get more comfortable with the new rhythm of our lives.
Readers, how do you approach time with your kids after work? Do you have rituals or routines to make that time feel meaningful? Do you keep your kids up later so you have more hours with them?

Having all of my photos backed up to the cloud automatically is great. My concern is having to manually download 200+ pictures, one by one in the event I have to restore. Is there a way to download the whole photo directory in one shot? Some sort of batch operation maybe?
Manual file by file download isn't an opition when you have a large number of individual files.

Delcie Light has been married for 53 years to Bill Light. They have three grown children: Christiane is a V.P. at Universal-NBC in California, Bill is an attorney in Manhattan Beach CA, and Jim lives in Devils Lake and owns and operates Computer Clinic. The Light's enjoy 8 grandchildren.
Delcie earned a B.S. from NDSU and a M.S. from UND. She has taught people from 3-73, but mostly teenagers for 25 years at DLHS.
She enjoys family (including a dog and two cats), home, flowers, watching kids and critters, travel, living in North Dakota with 4 seasons, reading, writing, researching (the wonders of a computer!), and genealogy.
I am not Catholic, but I am thrilled at the message the new Pope, Francis I, is living. He seems to be a truly spiritual man. And he has a sense of humor! When he first spoke to the College of Cardinals after being elected, it is reported he said, "May God forgive you for what you have done."
The world and the church needs humor and humility. It also needs compassion, not displays of wealth and pomp.
His deeds speak louder than words: using public transportation, washing the feet of the poor, walking among the people, living in a simple apartment and cooking for himself in Buenos Aires. Last week, after mass he walked into the crowd and touched and blessed the children and the crippled. He has rejected the fancy vestements. Even his ring is gold plate, not solid gold. He seems to understand Jesus's message and to live it.
He admired St. Francls of Assissi so chose his name. My family and my husband's are Protestant dating back into the late 1500's in Europe. Bjut, we have a lovely statue of St. Francis in one of our flower beds. He is holding a basket that holds seeds for the birds. A squirrel and a bunny are at the hem of his cassock; a bird rests on his shoulder. That is my kind of Saint, a humble man who cares about animals and the least among us.
The North Dakota legislature has before it laws to protect animals. I do not understand those who abuse animals, people, or the environment. They are an alien species to me. ND has had too many cases of animals being neglected and starving or freezing. Or, even worse, being beaten. Why would the members of the legislature not want to protect critters who work for us, who provide food for us, and who trust us and love us?
It was the Nez Perce Chief Joseph who said, "If all the animals were to disappear, mankind would die of a great loneliness." I know I would. Each day we feed birds and squirrels and so enjoy watching them. As I write, our dog sleeps in the chair beside me, and two cats sleep snuggled together on the bed. Many, many species are endangered: rhinos, gorillas, elephants, tigers, wolves, orangutans, big cats of all kinds, whales, and even butterflies and honey bees.
It makes no sense that humans are destroying our fellow inhabitants on the planet. Protecting animals is not a political issue. It is not a denominational issue. It is a spiritual issue and a common sense issue.
I so hope the ND legislators understand the wisdom of St, Francis AChief Joseph, and enact laws to preserve and protect animals of all kinds.

Six of 12 small cars do well in front crash tests
In this Thursday, April 11, 2013 file photo, Indian dancers perform as Honda's new Amaze diesel engine car rolls in during its launch in New Delhi, India. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri, File) by Tom KrisherAP Auto Writer DETROIT (AP) — Two redesigned Honda Civic models were the only small cars to get the top rating in stringent front-end crash tests performed by an insurance industry group. In all, half of the 12 compact and subcompact cars tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety fared poorly, but six performed well. Safety is critical in the fast-growing small-car market, with many buyers downsizing from larger vehicles.

The Obsidian Series: Designed by builders, for builders.
Obsidian Series 900D is for serious builders with big projects. Do you want to design your ultimate dream PC? Add state-of-the-art liquid cooling or air cooling? Build a quadruple GPU, dual CPU graphics powerhouse? Or, just create a monster file server?
If these are the kinds of questions you're asking yourself, you need a 900D.
Serious Expansion Flexibility for Serious Builders
We don't need to tell you that there's no such thing as too much room. We'll just let the numbers speak for themselves:
- Ten expansion slots
- Fits up to nine hard drives or SSDs, with three hot-swap mounts
- Four 5.25" optical drive bays
- Room for dual power supplies
And if nine hard drives or SSDs aren't enough, you can expand to 15 drives by adding additional drive cages (available separately).
Incredible Cooling Performance and Potential
A cooling-optimized case design requires three things: good passive ventilation, flexible fan mounting options for good airflow, and the room to add sophisticated active cooling systems. The Obsidian Series 900D starts with a clear airflow path from the intake fans to the case interior, with no drives in the way. But, that's just the start.
Includes three AF120L 120mm front intake fans and one AF140L 140mm rear exhaust fan
- 15 total fan mount locations
- Five radiator mounting points
- Four removable dust filters
Easy to Build With. Easy to Live With.
System builds should be straightforward and easy, without your PC case getting in the way. And, reconfigurations and upgrades should be just as simple. An enjoyable build process with great-looking results is a huge part of the pride of ownership that comes with building high-performance PCs.
The 900D can help make it all happen with tool-free side panel access, hard drive installation, and optical drive installation. Inside, you'll find a CPU backplate cutout and rubber grommets on the cable routing holes. There's generous cable routing space behind the motherboard tray, and snap-down cable latches help you create clean, easy-to-modify cabling that doesn't rely on dozens of zip ties.
You also get modular hard drive cages, and the dust filters and fan covers are easily removable for cleaning and maintenance.
The Obsidian Series 900D Super Tower PC case is the platform of choice for your next ultimate dream PC. Whether you're integrating state-of-the-art liquid or air cooling, building a quad-GPU, dual-CPU graphics powerhouse, creating a monster file server, or even all of the above in one incredible system, 900D makes it happen.
It's not just big - Obsidian Series 900D has been carefully engineered for fast builds, easy upgrades and flexible expansion. The aluminum frame and solid steel panels give 900D the rigidity and strength you need for multiple teardowns and rebuilds, and the brushed aluminum fascia completes the look of understated overkill.
- Includes three 120mm AF120L and one 140mm AF140L exhaust fan
- Brushed aluminum front fascia with full cast aluminum surround structure front and rear
- Five radiator mounting points: Front: up to 360mm, Top: up to 480mm (4 x 120) or 420mm (3 x 140), Bottom side one: up to 480mm (4 x 120) or 420mm (3 x 140), Bottom side two (with PSU installed): up to 280mm (2 x 140) or 240mm (2 x 120), Rear: 140mm or 120mm

A retinal detachment is, in many cases, a medical emergency and needs to be assessed as soon as possible so that your ophthalmologist (eye doctor) is able to make decisions about any treatment you may need.
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the inside of the eye, rather like wallpaper peeling off a damp wall. The retina needs to be attached to the back of the eye to survive and work properly, so if a retinal detachment is not detected and treated quickly it may result in the loss of some or all the vision in your eye.
This page provides the information you need to help you understand retinal detachment, how it is treated and how it may affect your vision.
We're looking for people living in the UK who have retinal detachment, or supporting someone that does. You'll need you to be available for an hour telephone meeting in September. To sign up to take part, fill out our online form, or email email@example.com with your details.
When you look at something, light passes through the front of your eye, and is focused by the lens onto your retina. The retina is a delicate tissue that coats the inside of your eye. The retina converts the light into electrical signals that travel along the optic nerve to your brain. The brain interprets these signals to "see" the world around you. The retina is also supplied with blood by a delicate network of blood vessels on its surface.
Light is focused onto a tiny area of the retina called the macula, which is about the size of a pinhead. This highly specialised part of the retina is vital, because it enables you to see fine detail when you are looking directly at something such as words, photos or the television. Your macula also gives you much of your ability to see colours. The rest of the retina gives you side vision (peripheral vision). The eye is filled with a clear substance called the vitreous gel. Light passes through the gel to focus on the macula.
Most retinal detachments happen because a tear or hole in the retina allows fluid to leak between the retinal layers and this then causes the retina to detach. Holes in the retina can occur because of changes that happen as you age, whereas tears happen because the retina has been pulled and torn. Tears mostly occur when the vitreous gel suddenly becomes detached from the retina (known as acute posterior vitreous detachment or PVD). Most gradual PVD does not result in retinal detachment. A blow to the head cannot cause retinal detachment, though a direct blow to the eye may do so.
Other eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy can result in fibrous scar tissue forming inside the vitreous and on the surface of the retina. This scar tissue can then pull on the retina (traction) causing a detachment. This type of traction on the retina can also pull the retina away from the back of the eye.
A rare type of retinal detachment can occur when fluid from the vessels behind the retina leaks between the retinal layers without there being a hole or tear present. This type of detachment happens because of another condition such as an inflammation or tumour.
Retinal detachment is rare. It only occurs in about 1 in 10,000 people each year. Retinal detachment can happen to someone of any age but is very rare under the age of 16 and most commonly happens to people aged between 60 and 70 years. This is because changes to the vitreous gel are very common in older people, occurring in 60 per cent of people over 70 years of age. For the vast majority of people these changes do not result in any serious complications. For more information, see our leaflet on "Understanding posterior vitreous detachment".
Another group - of younger people who are short sighted - are also at risk because their vitreous gel, which is not as firm as it should be, detaches from the back of the eye earlier.
You have an increased risk of retinal detachment if you:
Floaters are caused by bits of debris in the vitreous gel casting a shadow on the retina. The brain then sees this as an object floating around in front of your vision. Floaters are very common and most people can all expect to have a few as they get older. People who are short sighted or have had eye operations in the past often have more floaters. Floaters can take many shapes being described as rings, spiders' legs or cobwebs. They are not in themselves a cause for concern especially if they have been present for months or years.
However, if you experience a recent dramatic increase in the number of floaters or notice showers of dust-like floaters, this could be a sign that changes are happening at the back of your eye.
If you experience a recent onset of floaters or change to the nature or numbers of your floaters, you should have your eyes examined by an optometrist (optician) or by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible usually within 24 hours. If you see an optometrist and they suspect, or find or can't rule out a tear in your retina then they will refer you urgently to an ophthalmologist.
Many people experience flashing lights, most commonly around the edges of their vision. Flashing lights occur when the retina is stimulated by something within the eye rather than by the light entering the eye. They are often caused by the vitreous gel inside the eye moving and pulling on the retina.
In many cases flashing lights are caused by a gradual vitreous detachment and in most cases this doesn't cause any long-term problems with your vision. However, flashing lights can indicate that there is a tear in the retina. There is no way you can tell whether your flashing lights are caused by your vitreous or by a retinal tear. If you suddenly experience new flashing lights you should have your eye examined by an optometrist as soon as possible, especially if you also have new floaters.
If your retina does detach then it can't work properly anymore. You will see this as a solid dark shadow coming in from the edge of your vision which you cannot see round or through. If more of your retina detaches then the shadow will keep moving towards the centre of your vision.
If you experience a dark shadow moving up, down or across your vision you need to attend your local hospital eye clinic as soon as possible within the same day or within 24 hours.
Your vision can gradually become blurred for many reasons and a visit to the optometrist will help you find out why. If your vision suddenly becomes blurred, especially if any of the other symptoms of flashing lights, floaters or a shadow are present, then this is more serious and you need to consult your optometrist as soon as possible and usually within 24 hours.
Many people have flashes and floaters and this is normal for their eye. Not every person with flashes and floaters will develop a retinal detachment. However, if you do experience flashes or floaters for the first time, or your usual flashes and floaters change, then you should have your eyes examined.
If you have been checked for retinal detachment in the past you should have been given clear instructions on what to do if you have further symptoms and you should follow these. This usually involves contacting the hospital eye clinic if you have any concerns.
If you have a healthy retina then there is no treatment that can reduce the risk of a detachment. Regular eye tests are an important way to make sure your eyes are healthy and you have no signs of any eye conditions. Most people should have their eyes tested every two years. However, some people may need more regular tests. Your optometrist will be able to recommend how often you need to have your eyes tested.
One of the causes of retinal detachment is trauma to the eye. Wearing eye protection for DIY, gardening or sport is something you can do to reduce the risk of an eye injury. Retinal detachment does not happen as a result of straining your eyes, bending or heavy lifting.
If you do experience symptoms of flashes and floaters and the eye clinic detects a hole or tear in your retina then this may be treated to reduce the risk of a retinal detachment developing. Not all tears or holes need treating. The treatment for retinal tears and holes is preventative - it stops the retinal tear or hole turning into a full detachment.
The treatment can be done two different ways, either using a using a laser which causes very small burns in the area around your retinal hole or tear which act to "weld" your retina more firmly to the back of your eye, or by using a cryoprobe which freezes the tiny area of the retina around your retinal tear or hole from the outside of the eye. The retinal tear or hole is surrounded by the treatments and this prevents fluid passing through the hole to cause a detachment.
You can have this type of treatment as an outpatient using a local anaesthetic. Your vision is not usually affected by this type of treatment because only a very small localised area of the retina is treated.
Retinal detachment can be treated. The treatment involves an operation to reposition the retina against the back of the eye. The sooner treatment is carried out, the better the results are likely to be. If retinal detachment is not treated then you are likely to lose all the vision in the affected eye over time.
Surgery for retinal detachment is complicated and very individual to each case. The type of treatment needed depends on the type of detachment and any complicating factors, such as any other eye conditions you may have.
After an initial assessment, the specialist eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) will decide how quickly surgery needs to be carried out - this maybe within 24 hours or within a few days. Usually, only one operation is needed and the types of surgery described below may be combined. Most people will have a local anaesthetic, meaning that you will be awake but feel nothing in your eye. Some people, in particular children, will have a general anaesthetic, which means they are unconscious (asleep) for the operation. You and your ophthalmologist will decide which type of anaesthetic will be best for you. Most people go home the same day as the operation but some people may need to stay in hospital for a day or two.
Most commonly nowadays you may have a vitrectomy operation. This procedure involves removing the vitreous gel and replacing it with either a gas bubble or, occasionally, clear silicone oil. The gas bubble or silicone liquid then holds the retina in place against the inside of your eye.
In other cases a scleral buckle may be used. This involves attaching a tiny piece of silicone sponge or harder plastic to the outside of your eye. This presses on the outside of the eye, causing the inside of the eye to slightly move (buckle) inwards. This pushes the inside of the eye against the detached retina into a position which helps the retina to reattach. Cryotherapy or laser treatment will be used to seal the area around the hole. The buckle is usually not removed and is not visible once surgery is finished.
If your retinal detachment is small and uncomplicated a gas bubble can be injected into the vitreous of the eye. This bubble then presses the retinal back in place, and cryotherapy or laser is applied round the hole or tear. The gas is reabsorbed over a period of weeks and the retina remains in place. Depending on the size and position of the bubble, your vision may be very blurred in the first few weeks. This type of surgery has been found to be less successful than other types and is not often done in the UK.
After the operation your eye will feel uncomfortable. There may be some bruising and your eyelids may be sticky. You will be given eye drops to help prevent infection and to control any swelling. Your eye may be uncomfortable for a few weeks after the operation.
If you have had a gas bubble put into your eye, your vision will be very blurry for a while. This is only temporary. As the gas is absorbed you may see a wavy line across your vision which is the divide between the gas and liquid content of the eye. This will slowly move and then disappear over a period of 10 days up to a few weeks.
Even without a gas bubble your vision may be blurry for a number of days, possibly weeks, following the surgery. During this time although your sight will be blurry you don't have to limit how much you use your eyes, so watching TV or reading will not cause any problems.
Your ophthalmologist will tell you which activities you should avoid directly after your operation and the advice may be different depending on the type of surgery you have had. Most people will have some restriction for the first few weeks after the operation. How long you will have these restrictions will depend on the exact procedure you have had. It also depends on whether you work and what work you do. For instance, if you drive you may find that dangerous if you have a bubble of gas in your eye. Your ophthalmologist can consider all the factors in your case and offer you the best advice about any restrictions necessary.
Once your eye has healed from the operation you can continue the sports or activities you enjoy. Again, your ophthalmologist is the best person to let you know if any of your regular activities should be avoided in the long term. Usually full contact sports which may involve a blow to the eye such as boxing, kick-boxing and martial arts aren't recommended for someone who has had retinal reattachment surgery.
Posturing is lying or sitting with your head in a certain position. You may be asked to do this before surgery to stop a retinal detachment spreading, or after your operation to help keep a gas bubble in place, so that it continues to put pressure on the part of the retina being reattached. You may need to do this for up to 10 days after the operation. If you need to do this the medical team will explain how to lie or sit and for how long.
If possible, you may find it useful to have someone to help you at home while you are posturing, but if that is not possible and you are worried about coping, you might want to let your ophthalmologists or GP know about your circumstances as they may be able to arrange for some help.
You need to tell your clinic if you need to fly after having surgery. If a gas bubble has been used, it is not safe to fly until the gas bubble has been completely reabsorbed. If you are having any other operations, the anaesthetist needs to know that you have a gas bubble. Once any period of posturing is finished you can resume activities, including sex, unless advised otherwise by your surgeon.
Surgery is usually very successful at reattaching the retina. The degree to which your detailed and peripheral vision will be affected is likely to depend on how much of the retina detached, if the macula was detached, if you have another eye condition such as diabetic retinopathy and how quickly the surgery was carried out.
If your macula, which allows us to see fine detail, remained attached then results are often very good and your central vision may not be affected at all. If your macular had detached but treatment was carried out quickly then your central vision can return but it may be distorted and wavy. Many people find they adapt to this distortion with time.
If you had a shadow in your peripheral vision, this will disappear after surgery but you may have some restriction to your peripheral vision. If the macula was affected, the longer the detachment was left untreated, the worse the vision is likely to be after the operation. However, once the macula has detached, it has been shown that a delay in treatment of up to seven days does not affect how your vision improves.
Unfortunately for some people, their operation may be successful at reattaching the retina but it may not bring back detailed central vision or areas of peripheral vision. This can happen in any circumstance but the risk is higher the longer the retina has been detached without any treatment.
Most people will lose all useful vision if no operation is carried out, or if the treatment is unsuccessful. However, if the first operation does not succeed, it is usually possible to have one or more operations to try to re-attach the retina. At each stage, your surgeon will discuss with you the likelihood of success and the need to have more treatments.
If you have lost vision in one eye due to a detachment you may still have useful vision in your remaining eye. It can sometimes take a few months to get used to seeing with only the one good eye if the other eye interferes. With time the brain learns to ignore the poorer vision in most situations.
If the affected eye was your good eye then you may be left with a sight impairment. You can receive help to see many of the things you used to see by making use of your remaining sight. Low vision services can help find the best magnifiers for you, and give advice and training about the many, often simple, ways that you can make the most of your sight. Ask your eye specialist, optometrist (ophthalmic optician), GP, social worker or local voluntary organisation about low vision services near you. RNIB can also advise on the help that is available.
Being diagnosed with an eye condition can be very upsetting. You may find that you are worried about the future and how you will manage with a change in your vision. All these feelings are natural.
Some people may want to talk over some of these feelings with someone outside their circle of friends or family. RNIB can help you with our telephone Helpline and our emotional support service. Your GP or social worker may also be able to help you find a counsellor if you think this would help you.
Having retinal detachment can cause serious changes to your vision for the long term, but there are lots of things that you can do to make the most of your remaining vision and adapt to any changes. This may mean making things bigger, using brighter lighting or using colour to make things easier to see. There is more about this in our publication, "Starting out: making the most of your sight" which is available to download below from our Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
You can also ask your ophthalmologist, optician or GP to refer you to your local low vision service, which can provide you with magnifiers to help with reading and advice on lighting to help make the most of your sight. Local social services should also be able to offer you information on being safe in your home and getting out and about safely. They should also be able to offer you some practical mobility training to give you more confidence when you are out.
Our Helpline can also give you information about low vision clinics and the help available from social services on 0303 123 9999. They can also offer help if you have any difficulties accessing these services.

Reggie Fountain builds boats, fast boats. Since early in his racing days, Reggie has constantly worked towards attaining and improving on the fastest V-hull design out there. This is all very apparent in Reggie's 29 Fever sportboat.
The 29 Fever cranks up with a throaty roar that dares others to join her for a little water exercise. Her competition may not be ready for the speed and control this craft offers. The 29 Fever is offered with the recommended single Mercury 500-hp MerCruiser Magnum I tested, or with a single 425-hp 496 MPI Mag, 575 SC EFI MerCruiser. If you opt for twin engines in this boat you'll get a pair of 300-hp 350 MerCruiser Magnums.
Boarding the 29 Fever seems safe and comfortable. The eight-foot beam remains stable when boarding and walking around. She carries a fuel capacity of 140 gallons that, depending on speed, will get you from 127 miles to 361 miles of cruising before having to stop for more. We reached planing speed between 2000 and 2500 rpm, in a matter of 4.7 seconds. The feel of speed is immediate on this boat, and you definitely feel the force as you add throttle. The advantages of Reggie's hull design become apparent when you are moving at top speed and run through performance turns without the dreaded skip, slide, or chine walking many others give at lower speeds.
Up front, you have an anchor locker and bow rails. There's plenty of room to spread out for sunning, but it's not an area to ride when the boat is underway. Pop up cleats are also in this area and maintain the smooth surface when stowed.
The cockpit is protected by a full framed wraparound windshield that does not block the view of the driver. All controls are easy to reach at the helm. The three-spoke wheel presents minimal obstruction, and racing influenced the placement of the Gaffrig instruments. The throttle and drive controls are located on the left, so be prepared to do some training for your visitors if they want to try their hand at driving. Trim tabs and drive position is indicated with mechanical indicators which are easy to read even at top speeds.
In addition, the steering is very responsive thanks to the hydraulic system. The bolsters have bottom cushions that are power driven and are very comfortable for long-range trips. The seats drop away for the fast runs and safely hold you in position, even in the tightest turns. When you are cruising, you can easily bring the seat up for a comfortable ride. The ultra leather seating continues with a bench behind the driver and companion seat. Here three more people can rest in luxury and comfort. Even after an hour of hard riding and testing, all seats remained comfortable.
Using the standard power lift, you will find all the essential checkpoints on the power plant easy to reach. Fountain left plenty of room in the single engine configuration to get to all areas in the engine compartment. With the engine hatch closed, the cover makes a comfortable padded area to soak up the sun. The pad also is good to your feet when you are coming back aboard. Getting aboard is simple using the folding swim ladder on the integrated swim platform.
Accommodations below are ample for two people overnighting, yet can handle up to four thanks to a privacy curtain for some separation. A small galley with pressurized water; porta-potti and a built-in ice chest make the long days on the water much more inviting. You can upgrade to a refrigerator if you plan more than day trips.
A lengthy list of 48 items is standard aboard the 29 Fever. And you have an equally lengthy list of optional items.
Our test boat reached 67.6 mph carrying four beefy crew, gear and a nearly full tank of fuel for the day. Competing for speed was a 20 mph wind and the waves that go with it. Fountain claims this model can go over 70 mph and I believe that under best conditions it probably can. I found best cruise at a comfortable 2500 rpm that gave this boat a cruise of 30.2 mph (26.3 knots) and a range of 361 miles. This means I got an incredible 2.86-mpg in a boat that is built for speed!
If you want a boat that will grab everyone's attention from the moment you're cranked up to the seconds it takes to become a fuzzy image on the horizon to those watching, be sure to check out Fountain's 29 Fever. This boat just might be for you!

Duochrome Arctic Fire 15ml Tube, DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolor
Our Luminescent watercolors, unlike anything ever seen in watercolor, simulate the glitter of a watery surface or the luster of mother-of-pearl. They're made from mica pigment, thin transparent particles coated with highly reflective metal oxides. Duochrome watercolors alternate between two distinct colors depending on the reflective light. Duochrome Arctic Fire shows its colors best over black paper or darker watercolor; it shifts from reflective green to violet.

The longtime MC with pioneering alternative hip-hop trio A Tribe Called Quest, rapper Q-Tip was born Jonathan Davis in New York City on November 20, 1970. While a student at the Murray Bergtraum High School for Business Careers, he co-founded A Tribe Called Quest with fellow students Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Phife (Malik Taylor) in 1988. The following year, Q-Tip guested on De La Soul's groundbreaking 3 Feet High and Rising LP, with the two groups forever linked through their association with the Native Tongues collective. Tribe's debut single, "Description of a Fool," appeared in the summer of 1989, and after signing to Jive Records, the trio issued its debut LP, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, a year later. With its fiercely intelligent, socially progressive lyrics and brilliant fusion of rap and jazz, the group emerged as one of the most popular and influential in all of hip-hop, producing such classic LPs as 1991's The Low End Theory and 1993's Midnight Marauders before disbanding in 1998. Q-Tip then mounted a solo career with the 1999 release of Amplified. Although it was successful, he was in label limbo for many years afterward, continuing to record but rarely able to release any of his output. (One album, Kamaal the Abstract, was ready to roll into stores in 2002 when it was halted; it was finally released by Jive in 2009.) His sophomore set finally appeared in late 2008 and earned its title, The Renaissance. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

STANFORD -- Stanford's 2013 recruiting class didn't impress the recruiting services, but it did wonders for coach David Shaw's blood pressure.
The 12-player class was sealed weeks ago, allowing Shaw to spend the morning of national signing day watching film and listening to Jack Johnson on Pandora.
"There was no suspense in our day," he said Wednesday, after the class became official, "so, I had a relaxing morning."
The situation stood in stark contrast to last year's experience, when a tension-filled signing day ultimately produced the highest-ranked class in Stanford history.
The major recruiting services weren't so kind to the Cardinal this time around.
Scout ranked Stanford's class No. 59 nationally, while Rivals slotted it four spots lower. Both services ranked the group 11th in the Pac-12, ahead of only Colorado.
But the rankings are based partly on class size, and Stanford was limited in numbers because it has so few seniors on the 2013 roster.
Eliminate quantity from the equation, and Stanford's class ranks fifth in the conference, with an average rating of 3.17 stars (out of 5) per player.
"When you combine this class with last year's haul, they did an amazing job and filled all their needs," said Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for Scout and FOX Sports.
The '13 group includes one quarterback, Ryan Burns, of Leesburg, Va., and is heavy on linebackers and tight ends.
There is one familiar last name -- receiver Francis Owusu is the brother of former Cardinal wideout Chris Owusu -- and one player from the Bay Area: tight end Austin Hooper, from De La Salle High in Concord.
"He can play on either side of the ball, but we love the possibilities at tight end," Shaw said.
Burns, the quarterback, has no experience in a prostyle offense but attended Stanford's summer camp two years ago and "blew us away," Shaw said. "He picked things up very quickly."
Because Stanford's class was small in size and devoid of last-minute drama, the coaches were able to get an early start on the 2014 recruiting class, which will be larger in size and, most likely, greater in stature.
"When our coaches flew somewhere, they could see one guy in this class and five guys in next year's class," Shaw said. "We're further ahead. We know where guys are, and we're already building relationships."
"To see what he did at our camp, and his skill set and his frame -- the offer list just didn't add up," said recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford. "We were on him early, so he didn't have the natural progression to gain 40 offers."
"That's a neat thing for us," Sanford said.
The Cardinal and White game is April 13 at Stanford Stadium (3 p.m.).

According to scout.com, Stanford's 12-player class was 11th in the Pac-12, ahead of Colorado. But the 3.17 star rating of the players is fifth behind USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington.

The Solano County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a man's body discovered burning in a shed just outside of Vacaville in unincorporated Solano County early Wednesday morning.
Deputies received a 911 call just after 3 a.m. on Wednesday, reporting a structure fire in the 6700 block of Pleasants Valley Road in the vicinity of the grapevine nursery Mercier, Solano County sheriff's Deputy Daryl Snedeker said.
Firefighters and sheriff's deputies responded to the scene and found a storage shed, with items stacked next to it, fully engulfed in flames, Snedeker said.
While extinguishing the blaze, firefighters found the body of a partially burned man located at the scene, according to Snedeker.
Solano County sheriff's detectives are investigating the man's death as a homicide and are requesting the public's assistance in identifying the body.
According to deputies, the body is that of a white or Hispanic man, with several tattoos. However, due to the burned condition of the man's body, many of his tattoos are not identifiable.
Deputies released a sketch of a large tattoo on the victim's back in hopes of finding someone who recognizes it and can help identify him.
The tattoo is an image of a dog smoking either a cigar or a pipe with words written between his shoulders at the base of his neck, deputies said.
Anyone who may know the identity of the victim or information about the homicide is asked to contact the Solano County Sheriff's Office investigations bureau at (707) 784-7050 or Solano County Sheriff's Office dispatch at (707) 421-7090. Callers may remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (707) 644-7867.

HARROGATE, TN -- Paced by MaRanda Boddie's near triple-double, the Lady Railsplitters overcame a poor-shooting performance and a 12-point second-half deficit to defeat the Carson-Newman Eagles, 64-62, in an overtime thriller in South Atlantic Conference women's basketball action on Wednesday night. With the win, Lincoln Memorial University (14-11, 7-8 SAC) avenged a 63-51 loss to the Eagles from back on January 23rd and moved to 4-1 over their last five games. Carson-Newman fell to 13-9 on the year and 7-8 in league play with the loss.
The Lady Railsplitters struggled from the field, most notably in the first stanza, as they capitalized on only six of their 27 attempts in that period to go into the break trailing 28-21. However, LMU turned it around in the second half, outscoring the Eagles 32-25 in that period to send the game into overtime. In the extra period, the Lady Railsplitters nailed nine of their 12 free throw attempts to propel themselves to a 64-62 win.
Lincoln Memorial finished shooting 30.5% from the floor, marked by a five-for-21 effort from three, while also struggling to maintain possession of the ball. The Lady Railsplitters made 23 miscues in the game which led to 18 points for the Eagles. However, LMU found a way to grind out enough buckets to win the game, highlighted by MaRanda Boddie's near triple-double performance. Boddie led all players in tonight's contest with 17 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks in 43 minutes of action. She was aided by Kalasia Green and Kelsey Bradford, who chipped in with 12 and 10 points respectively in the contest. Ralissa Nelson got in on the act with eight points and four rebounds.
On the defensive end of the court, the Lady Railsplitters limited Carson-Newman to only a 34.2% effort from the field and a dismal four-for-15 effort from long range. Tatum Burstrom paced the Eagles with 12 points on five-for-16 shooting, while Nikki James filled out her stat ledger with 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Courdne Miles came off the bench to spark the Eagles to a 23-17 advantage on bench scoring with 11 points. Jai Jai McLaughlin narrowly missed recording a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds to go along with six assists.
Carson-Newman also struggled with turnovers in the contest, handing the ball over 21 times which accounted for 20 of the Lady Railsplitters' 64 points.
The Lady Railsplitters opened by tallying the first six points of the game to roll out to an early 6-0 advantage, however, Carson-Newman countered with an 8-2 run over the ensuing minutes to knot the game at 8-8 with 12:20 left in the first half. Nikki James drained a jumper with 10:18 left to push the Eagles out to a 10-8 advantage and neither team would score again until Shyra Brown gave the Eagles a 12-8 lead with 6:48 left on the clock.
The Eagles continued to push the pace, extending their lead to 19-8 on another jumper from Brown at the 5:36 mark. The Lady Railsplitters only scored 13 points in the final 10 minutes of action to go into the break facing a 28-21 deficit.
The Lady Railsplitters cut the deficit back to 34-29 on a three-pointer by Kalasia Green with 15:02 left to play in regulation, however, Carson-Newman used a 7-0 run, capped with a three by Chante Markus to move out to a 41-29 lead with 13:39 to play. C-N continued to hold sway over the ensuing minutes of basketball, using a jumper by Courdne Miles to push out to a 49-41 lead with 7:21 left. Yet, the Lady Railsplitters answered over the next 4:50, as they rolled out a 12-0 run, capped with a layup by MaRanda Boddie at the 2:31 mark to take a 53-49 lead.
Despite holding that advantage, the Eagles would be the only team to score for the remainder of regulation, as Jai Jai McLaughlin notched a free thrown and Tatum Burstrom drained a three to knot the game at 53-53 with 1:15 to play. MaRanda Boddie had the last opportunity in regulation to win the game, however, her game-winning attempt went begging to send the game into overtime.
In the overtime period, the Lady Railsplitters held the Eagles to only a three-for-10 effort while notching a nine-for-12 performance at the charity stripe to roll to a 64-62 victory. MaRanda Boddie scored five points in that five-minute frame to spearhead the Lady Railsplitter attack.
LMU will return to the court on Saturday, February 23rd, as they are set to host Lenoir-Rhyne University in a South Atlantic Conference duel with the Bears. That game is scheduled to tip at 6 p.m. in Harrogate, Tennessee.

Local Reviewer: Best Thing About New "Die Hard" Is Its Brevity
Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
Watching the latest installment of the "Die Hard" franchise, I got the distinct impression that no one involved in the production seemed to care very much about it. Bruce Willis, for example, has given up on the "action" part of being an action star. He drives cars, shoots big guns, and grimaces at the camera, but that's about it. He puts so little effort into his performance that it's a wonder that he didn't film the entire movie sitting on a couch.
The script for "A Good Day to Die Hard" seems to have been recycled from something written before the Cold War ended. In it, New York cop John McClane (Willis) travels to Russia to help his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtney), who has been imprisoned. It turns out Jack is actually an undercover CIA operative working in Moscow to protect a Russian political prisoner.
While "A Good Day to Die Hard" retains some of the huge action moments of the previous "Die Hard" films, it does not have any of their excitement or energy. In the end, the best I can say for this movie is that it's pretty short.
