Yachting - November 2005 - Intelligent Design
Written by Jerry Stansfield
It's something Garden honed to perfection on years of sailing hull designs and brings to his motoryacht designs with aplomb. The fine lines forward mean the crew quarters are pushed aft a bit farther than normal, putting the guest accommodations near the yacht's center of pitch for added guest comfort. It also results in the deep fuel tanks, which separate the engine room's noise and heat from the guest staterooms, sitting near the hull's longitudinal center of flotation, so trim will change very little as fuel is burned off. The fuel tanks are aluminum, as are the water tanks. The latter are epoxy coated inside for corrosion protection, and the holding tanks are constructed of fiberglass for the same reason.
Seaquest's styling and arrangement are from the board of Greg Marshall, like Garden a veteran designer in the Pacific Northwest. To achieve the economic benefits of semi-production in large yachts that are more often custom built, a designer must stick to what has proven to be most popular with owners. Marshall's design of the Westport 130 could serve as an archetype for the genre.
The arrangement has four en suite guest staterooms below deck, two with twin berths and two VIP's with queens. Crew quarters are forward, with an engineer's cabin aft adjacent to the engine room. An engineer's control room is built into the forward end of the engine room, and the engine room and its twin MTU 12V4000s are accessible via a protected stair from the aft deck as well as through a tran� som door for use in port or at anchor.
The master suite is situated forward on the main deck. In addition to the sleeping quarters, with a California king berth, there's a his�and-hers bath with both a large shower and a spacious whirlpool tub. A huge walk-in locker sits just aft to starboard, leaving plenty of space in the main room for an attractive desk/vanity and settee.
Seaquest's main entry foyer is to starboard and includes a day head, convenient for arriving guests, yet separated slightly from the dining area and saloon. The galley, to port of the foyer, has a generously sized dinette for informal guest dining; a separate crew lounge is located below. The dining area is divided from the saloon by low cabinets and a pair of columns, creating a sense of separation while retaining the feeling of one large room.
Abaft the salon is a quintessential after deck, with a dining table, bar, transom seating and twin stairs to the swim platform. There's also a spiral stair to the after end of the bridge deck, where a 17-foot Novurania tender rests, ready for davit launch. A spa and outside seating adjoin the tender storage area aft, and forward, the Portuguese bridge is split by a central walkway to the foredeck where there's a spacious circular guest lounge. Amidships is the pilothouse and upper deck lounge, with another bar and day head. Wing controls are fitted outboard of the pilothouse so the flying-bridge deck can be fully devoted to guest lounges and tables.
With a foundation of excellent designs from Garden and Marshall, Westport takes the evolution of Seaquest to fruition in fiberglass. Both the hull and superstructure are of composite construction, with blister-resistant gelcoat on the hull bottom and Awlgrip polyurethane above the waterline. Airex foam core is used to develop the necessary panel stiffness without carrying excess structural weight, and the hull stringers are cored as well. The standard equipment list is extensive and of first quality, with such items as Pool anchors, Freeman hardware, Maxwell windlasses and capstans and Northern Lights generators.
Engines are fitted atop the fiberglass stringers with resilient mounts to reduce noise and vibration. Auxiliary machinery is likewise soft-mounted, and considerable attention is paid to placement of insulation for further sound reduction throughout the accommodations. Delivery is nearly turnkey, with everything from dinnerware to docklines included.
In addition to the three yacht models it is currently offering, Westport has a rich history of vessel construction. In the 41 years since the company's founding in 1964, it has built over 50 complete yachts, 79 bare hulls for other builders, 170 commercial fishing boats and 35 commercial passenger vessels. The company has expanded from its original shipyard in Westport, Washington, taking in three additional facilities around the state for a total of 347,000 enclosed square feet, with over 500 employees.
Westport has recently begun construction of its most ambitious project to date, a 164-foot motoryacht. The yacht was jointly designed by Donald Starkey and Westport personnel, and will feature a six� stateroom layout. There are four staterooms below deck, a master suite on the main deck and a VIP suite on the upper deck. Contact: Westport Yachts, (954) 316-6364; www.westport� yachts. com

Part one deals with the sources of intracranial hemorrhages occurring at birth as coming from (1) the small tentorial vessels, (2) vena magna galeni, which may rupture as the result of distortion during the molding of the head, (3) cerebral veins, namely, the superior longitudinal sinus, (4) in the severe types, from injuries of the superior longitudinal sinus, transverse sinus and straight sinus, (5) but rarely from injury to the choroidal veins, which occurs only in stillborn premature infants.
The author says further that hemorrhage is never extradural, unless associated with fracture of the skull. He also emphasizes the fact that an important contributing cause of intracranial hemorrhage is prematurity. In this connection he quotes authorities who state that intracranial bleeding occurs sixteen times more frequently in premature than in full-term infants. The cutaneous vessels of premature infants are much more fragile. The skin of mature babies will withstand a

But we couldn't help but wonder what readers may have thought about another cover that didn't make the final cut. In a second version, Levy, 31, wears a different shirt, a different expression and shows off a different (ahem) view of that amazing body.
So we've compared the covers, point by point, to help readers decide.
Pros of Levy in Blue The smoldering expression
Is he pensive? Angry? Thinking naughty thoughts? Who cares, it's all hot!
The chest-ab-arm placement
We get to see the contours of his clearly defined pectoral muscles, a glimpse at the abs, and an eyeful of that thick, strong forearm. Well done, photographer.
The shirt choice
It's no more than a frame for this man's artful body. But you wouldn't put a Picasso in an Ikea frame, so the choice of rugged, structured blue denim was spot-on.
Pros of Levy in White The 'I'm Approachable' Look
It's a smile, but it's also thoughtful, with an element of carefree. Levy's face says, "Hi, I'm William. What shall we do today?"
The left pec
Half of this man's sturdy chest takes center stage on this cover: its contours, its strength, its golden glow … it's almost enough to distract from his beautiful brown eyes.
The shirt choice
It's the endless possibilities here that the shirt conveys. Is he about to take it off for a dip in the ocean? Putting it back on after working up a good sweat? Or perhaps that's just the way he dresses around the house on a warm summer's day.
So, tell us:

Glazed earthenware, glazed stoneware, soft paste porcelain and bone china
Although glaze will provide a barrier to liquids, earthenware, soft paste porcelain and bone china are porous and glaze imperfections are common but may not be obvious, so take a cautious approach to cleaning.
1. Use a cotton wool swab (on a cocktail or bamboo stick) dampened with warm water that has had a little detergent added (about one drop of detergent per litre of water)
2. Roll the swab lightly over the surface, don't wipe or scrub. Make sure your swab is always clean - change it if you see any dirt on it. Using a dirty swab will leave dirt behind in the cracks
3. When the surface is clean, wipe over again with water (to remove any detergent residues)
4. Blot dry with a paper towel

IF you have been following this stock closely can you reply as to the speculation behind this stock. Is it buy-out speculation? Earnings expectations? or Both? The fundamentals here are troubling me.
If my memory serves me correctly, I was the only
one to post a comment about Bill Shepherd. My words
were, in effect, "Bill Shepherd is a decent man."
I'm certainly not making excuses, but, in my opinion,
Bill did what he thought was right for the company.
The numbers/share appreciation, depending upon the
time frame, seem to indicate that not much shareholder
value was created on his watch.
As an adjacent
point, I have felt for a long time that TOTAL
compensation for most CEO's is way out of line! I carry about
10-20 stocks in my portfolio and can't believe how
CEO's take home a bundle of cash while the stock is
stagnant or falling like a "hot rock." Small investors
have no chance to influence that. It is strickly up to
boards and large investors to get on their asses about
Have a good one, needg4s, Deuce
With the demise of 550 employees and a
infrastructure is Sales & Marketing still there along with R&D,
this Board should now begin to receive some insight to
what is really happening. SG&A is being replaced with
100's of R&D personnel. Yet where has R&D been the past
5 years. If they had the product in the
they would not need to have made the cuts they did.
$113M restructurihng charge for use in the next two
years allows me to believe they will be more reductions
if R&D does not perform.
You have to hold R&D
accountable and that was not the case this year. Maybe that
is why its called the Shepherd building. I do not
know. Still think the stock is now overvalued, as the
Earnings will be impacted. Be interesting to hear from any
of the 550 people that were asked to go elsewhere.
There is going to be hemoraging and I just hope the
Sales are there. Does Sales know what they are doing,
or are they just trying to buy market share as I do
not think the boys in Texas are not willing to give
up any just to make AGN highly profitable. BL is
still one year away from making their combined entry
into this field and then it will be a two horse race
unless AGN sells out to J&J.
Some of the other members of this board are
extreamly polite in reference to Mr Shepherd for various
reasons (obvious ex-AGN employees), however, being a
shareholder for many years, and holding on when Mr. Shepherd
ran the company (in my opinion for his own personal
gain) I'll state a blunt opinion. To see if he should
be on a board of another company other than to help
the board members rake in the dough at the expense of
the shareholders, simply look at his salary growth
compared to the stock price since he took over from Mr.
Herbert (available in 3-year incriments in each annual
report). Then look at the stock price since he left. The
excuse at the shareholders meetings was always along the
lines of "this is what other people in his position get
at other drug companies", even as the stock
performed WELL BELOW those companies. Or even "to keep his
talent on board". With talent like that, who needs
competitors. The stock would have been much better without
him. He was, after all, the president and ulitmately
responsible for the stock price. I believe he was just in the
right place at the right time and rode the gravy train
to the end. More power to him becuase the
shareholders let him get away with it.
Hi "oldguyeye": Who knows the real intent on
message boards? Certainly not me! I think you take this
for what it is...a forum where anyone can say just
about anything they want to say. If one is a serious
investor, they will seek out many other sources of
Have a good one, Deuce
hey deuce...that guy could'nt get any info on
that board if he tried...11,000 messages versus the
145 here...all that for one of those bio fraud type
companies...i think it trades at .75 now with about 45,000
shares...wonder if he thru out bill's name hoping to get some of
these wise agn investors intrested in that company.
No need at all for an apology. I understand your
frustration with micro/small caps like TCLN. As a private
investor, I've learned the hard way that in many cases
markets make zero sense! But, that's why they're called
markets. That doesn't ease the pain, but it is reality.
Afterall, the Russell 2000 is down around 20% this year and
many small/large caps are down much more than that.
See me for details <frowning>.
should feel free to post on any board of your choosing.
Occasionally, you will gain some actionable information to help
make better investment decisions. For the most part,
though, the message boards are chat, "I thinks" and a lot
of hearsay. Most of all, they are fun.
Have a
good one, Deuce
of my question. I am a TCLN shareholder. Just
looking for some IMHO's. Have no financial background or
any connection to the company. Just a shareholder
looking for opinions about Shepherd's dealings with AGN.
That's all.Shareholders on the TCLN Yahoo Board have
been expressing their IMHO's regarding old/new Board
of Directors, so I did not think it would be a
problem to ask your IMHO's about his impact on AGN, if
that was ever an issue here. AGN stock price is solid
compared to TCLN, and we all hope a refreshing B of D will
improve this company's stock value,...some day,... but
that's a different story. Do not want to take up too
much time on your yahoo board. You said Bill Shepard
was a decent man.....That's the kind of info i was
looking for, plus anything else someone may wish to
add.In short, I'm looking for reassurance, because many
TCLN shareholders are extremely frustrated about all
of the positve news that has come out over the past
few months, but the stock price seems to dive
everytime solid news comes out!! But like I said, that
issue has been torn apart from every angle on our yahoo
message board.Won't post here anymore, feel like I
stepped on a few toes with this request. Again, sorry for
the lack of clarity.
Just joined the Techniclone (TCLN) Board of Directors. Anyone of you happy campers care to share your input about this??? TCLN board is trying to evaluate his presence. Thanks.
Did the Board not do their due diligence prior to electing Mr. Sheppard to the Board? What kind of question is this?

In Fribourg, the celebration of Saint Nicholas is firmly rooted in tradition. During the afternoon, St. Nicholas is riding through the streets on a donkey and waving to the crowd; his accompanying bogeymen hand out sweets to the children. At the end of his route, the saint holds a speech by highlighting the critical incidents of the past year. There is often a market where traditional pastries and crafts are sold. Saint Nicholas was the fourth Century Bishop of Myra (Turkey) and was distinguished by his charity. He is considered to be the patron of sailors and children as well as one of the most popular saints in the Orient and Occident. Furthermore, he is the patron of the city and the canton of Fribourg.

"Parable of the Lost Sheep"
Luke 15: 1-7
Luke presents to us three parables of Jesus: The Lost Sheep; The Lost Coin; and The Lost Son. Jesus' main point tying these three parables together is that heaven rejoices in the repentance of a sinner. The occasion for the telling of these parables was the Pharisees and scribes grumbling over Jesus, who was receiving the tax collectors and sinners. Luke writes, "the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear Jesus." Jesus attracted sinners. Particularly his gospel message attracted them. As Jesus preached, all sin was condemned and certain hope in God was declared to everyone. These outcast sinners could not stay away from Jesus. While they listened to his every word, the Pharisees and scribes were grumbling. They believed that association with such outcast sinners would make them all unclean. As Jesus told his three parables, the sinners heard the gospel of the God who seeks and finds his lost children. They heard the gospel of heaven rejoicing over repentant sinners. This is the gospel Jesus has given to his Church in all ages to proclaim. Continue reading »
On this past Saturday night at Reconciliation, a worship gathering at the church I serve, a mentally challenged member requested that we pray for Captain Phillips. None of the rest of us had thought to do so. We prayed for his safety and release, awaking on Easter Sunday morning to hear the good news that he had been rescued from his captors! Now we are praying for the people of Somalia. As you may know, Islam has been kinder to them than any other entity, providing for their basic and social needs. Of course, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, hasn't been given the chance in recent years to express love for these people. If Somalians are immigrating to your city, then seize the opportunity to show to them the love of Christ.

The finest poem I have enjoyed this Passion week is "The Coming," by R.S. Thomas. One of my fathers in the faith told me of it as he found it in "Divine Inspirations: The Life of Jesus in World Poetry,". I have been holding out my thin arms but tomorrow morning strengthened by the surety of the resurrection I will raise them a bit higher and longer in praise of the One who said, "Let me go there."
And God held in his hand
a small globe. Look, he said,
the son looked. Far off,
as through water, he saw
a scorched land of fierce
color. The light burned
there: crusted buildings
cast their shadows; a bright
serpent, a river
uncoiled itself, radiant
with slime.
On a bare
hill a bare tree saddened
the sky. Many people
held out their thin arms
to it, as though waiting
for a vanished April
to return to its crossed
boughs. The son watched
them. Let me go there, he said.

Bogs - Great Lakes Ecosystem Mural, #2 of 8
Title: Bogs - Great Lakes Ecosystem Mural, #2 of 8
Artist: Yulia Hanansen Created 2009
Location: Conservatory, Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan
DP013-2015 Posted Tuesday, January 13; processed ditto from photo taken Jan. 4
I'm working on editing photos taken of all eight of the murals in glass mosaic that depict various ecosystems found in the Great Lakes Region. I'm not sure how many more of those shots, if any, I'll post here. The entire set, once completed, can be seen here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Places-By-Type/Arboretums-and-Botanical/Matthaei-Botanical-Gardens-MI/21673824_wWv4pZ

Making Lillymon
Hello all! I'm currently working on a Lillymon cosplay for Anime North which is in 16 days! Wish me luck, I'm going to need it! I'll also be showing you my progress and giving tips, hopefully this will help out other Lillymon cosplayers!
This is one of my boot covers. For those that don't know, bootcovers are a cheap way to get a custom looking boot without even needing to buy a boot! Bootcovers work by making a fabric cover for a pair of boots or shoes, that looks like a boot or shoe. You can check out ways to make bootcovers on the tutorial list! http://cosplaytutorial.com/list.php#boots
I made my mockup on some extra fabric I had lying around, and then used that to create the boot covers. They are lined, but they do not have interfacing since it manages to stand up without it. The bottom yellow is done with bias tape which is finishing the open hem. The front flower was painted on with acrylic paint, using a stencil. The side flowers were cut from yellow fleece and the pedals were painted orange with watered down acrylic paint, it helps make it a bit stiffer. They were sewn on with the machine.
I haven't decided how they will be attached yet. I have an old pair of shoes I plan to convert into cosplay bootcover shoes by attacking velcro to the shoe, so these might be attached with a combination of velcro and thick elastic on the bottom .
These are my cute sleeves!
There are three major parts to this. One is the sleeve with a rolled hem which is the top rectangular shape. I made this by measuring the widest point of my arm, and the length I wanted it to be. I drew this out on the fabric and cut that out. I sewed up along the edge to create a tube and then I did a rolled hem on the top to finish it. I plan to make a tutorial on this later that goes into more detail, but I created the image below to help you out for now:
And for the dress, that is my plan for today! I'm making it a little different from how her dress actually looks, I want to add the pedals on the outside rather than have them be part of the actual dress. Hopefully it is a good addition!

Larry Grooms got into politics almost two decades ago after learning that it would cost him $32,000 in up-front costs to start a new convenience store business in Berkeley County.
What irked him most was that he had started the same kind of business there a few years earlier by buying only a $50 building permit.
"That was my wake-up moment, my 'Aha' moment," the Bonneau businessman said, adding he was particularly troubled by the implications for his children. "Something was taken from them —their ability to start a business on a shoestring was gone."
It led to his growing involvement in Republican politics and ultimately to the state Senate District 37 seat, which he has held since 1997.

The Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions will issue new arrest warrants to compel the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) to elevate its notice for three Quebec prison escapees to red, the highest level, according to Agence QMI.
The wire service reports the change comes three days after Interpol disseminated to all of its 190 member countries an orange international notice to locate the three convicts that escaped from a jail near Quebec City last weekend with the help of a helicopter.
No red notice has been issued on Interpol's website for Yves Denis, 35, Serge Pomerleau, 49, and Denis Lefebvre, 53.
A red notice is used "to seek the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action," according to the Interpol website, meaning that unlike with an orange notice, a red notice compels an Interpol member country to detain and extradite a red-level suspect if they are located.
Denis, Pomerleau and Lefebvre had been incarcerated in the Orsainville prison before their daring escape June 7, on charges including gangsterism and murder.
Criticism of the new Liberal government has been fierce following the jailbreak, with the Parti Quebecois calling on public security minister Lise Thériault to resign.
Thériault has refused to comment further on the incident after saying Thursday she was convinced someone in her own government has been lying to her about what really took place during the June 7 escape.
Premier Philippe Couillard says he has full confidence in Thériault, and has also ordered an internal investigation to look into the jailbreak.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast BakeOle & Shaina Olmanson
This is the quintessential brunch fare. It's sweet, but not overly so. It's satisfying. It bakes up in large quantities easily, and it uses day-old bread that you would probably toss out anyway or, in this case, day-old cinnamon rolls.
This French toast bake is one to write home about. It's the one people will ooh and ahh at your creative genius for come Easter morning thinking you woke before dawn to throw together hot breakfast when all you did was roll out of bed, turn the oven on and jump in the shower.
Whether you bake up a massive amount of cinnamon rolls like I did or just hit up the local bakery for the old ones is up to you. Throw this together the night before and tuck it away in the fridge 'til morning. Warm breakfast is just 45 minutes in the oven as you shower and make yourself a cup of coffee or crawl back in bed and hit the snooze.
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
12-20 (depending on size) day-old cinnamon rolls, cut into 2″ pieces
6 eggs
2 1/4 cups milk
Fill a 9×13″ baking dish with cinnamon roll pieces. Allow to stand on the counter for at least 30 minutes to dry out the edges further. Beat eggs and whisk in milk. Pour over dry cinnamon rolls, pressing down or stirring to coat evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator until the next morning.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is baked through. Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 minutes. Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup alongside fruit and sausage or bacon for an easy warm breakfast.
Makes 6-8 servings.

We went to buy some foods in the grocery store and bought a beer for our host and then when we came out Anjay was there. We moved to his flat, cooked a great simple pasta meal with some cheap food and discuss together the whole end of the evening. It was pretty cool, as Anjay was just coming back from a trip in Russia around Baikal lake and it was great to hear from him. Also we could discuss about our hitch-hiking route possibilities and tips to reach Poland.
August 29
I woke up normally and Marie just hurried to leave to meet Anjay for the basketball game that was broadcasted in town and she left to there
It wasn't so nice for me... so anyway, we played card the whole evening till the late night bus before going back to sleep. Marie-France acted pretty weird and said she wouldn't join me the next day leaving by her own to Klaipeda by train and also just took all her things and slept on the floor.
I have to say I didn't understand her awkward sudden behaviour... but well people from Montreal are that weird and dumb. The thing is that it made me especially mad as I already wrote her a comment, carried her to several guests while she didn't even filled her profile, wrote comments etc...
I just felt more used and I shouldn't have wrote my comments already as it revealed to not be a trustworthy person to my point of view finally... also I just felt like, another North American guests who obviously just used HC and will not get part of the community and we will never heard again in the future. I will see if something moved on her profile in the future. :S

The Fire of Freedom: Abraham Galloway and the Slaves' Civil War
Click to buy via Amazon
by David S. Cecelski
Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press (September 29, 2012)
Language: English
Product Dimensions: 6.1 x 1 x 9.2 inches
"This is the story of Abraham H. Galloway (1837-70), a fiery young slave rebel, radical abolitionist, and Union spy who rose out of bondage to become one of the most significant and stirring black leaders in the United States during the American Civil War. A freedom fighter in what the New Orleans Tribune, the first African-American newspaper published below the Mason-Dixon Line, called "a Second American Revolution," Galloway burned with an incandescent passion against tyranny and injustice.
His war was not the one that we are accustomed to seeing in history books, however, Galloway's war had little to do with that of Grant or Lee, Vicksburg or Cold Harbor. It had nothing to do with states' rights or preserving the Union.
Galloway's Civil War was a slave insurgency, a war of liberation that was the culmination of generations of perseverance and faith. It was, ultimately, the slaves' Civil War."
—Excerpted from the Foreword (pg. xi)
Anybody who's seen Quentin Tarantino's movie Django Unchained knows that the incendiary adventure represents a refreshing first step in terms of questioning the enduring stereotype of African-Americans as having been docile during slavery. Though carefully cultivated by both Hollywood and the history books, nothing could be further from the truth than that very demeaning image of black folks generally accepting their lowly lot.
Abraham's childhood was typical for an African-American boy in the ante bellum South, as he "commonly witnessed slave women beaten, abused, and sexually humiliated in public." So, it should come as no surprise that, as a young man, he and a friend, Richard Eden, would stowaway on a ship headed for Philly.
Abraham H. Galloway
What is amazing, however, is that after successfully finding their freedom,
they would secure pistols and venture back below the Mason-Dixon Line to
emancipate brothers and sisters they had left behind. And during the Civil
War, when the North was in dire need of troops, Galloway personally
delivered 4,000 recently-freed ex-slaves across enemy lines to form an
all-black regiment eager to fight for the Union against the racist
In the spring of 1864, this unsung hero was welcomed to the White House by President Abraham Lincoln who readily acknowledged the debt of gratitude he was owed by the nation. A riveting portrait of a real-life African-American icon belatedly being given his proper due in the annals of US history.

The Post and Courier
A subtle pleasure enjoyed by many house holders remains, simply, the expectation of arriving home after a long day at the office or exhausting trip.
Just thinking about opening the door, loosening your shirt and stretching out on the couch – to the "sounds" of silence – can represent the high-water mark of some days.
Home renters and owners alike can relish such moments. And if the residence happens to stand in a particularly peaceful locale, that's all the better.
To be sure, there's no telling how many homes fit the description in the Charleston area. But 102 Setters Place, a comfortable Goose Creek locale, would land on the short list.
According to Kim Pearson, the house benefits from its setting on "a quiet cul-de-sac in a nice Crowfield Plantation neighborhood." The home sports a two-car attached garage, front porch, patio and "well shaded" fenced-in backyard, says Pearson, an agent with Brand Name Real Estate in Charleston who is handling the rental. She says the property, available now, can be leased at the reduced rate of $1,350 a month.
Complementing its peaceful setting, the home displays another attraction: A recent facelift. The large renovated one-story house showcases three bedrooms, two full baths and a finished room over the garage that can be converted to a bedroom. There's new carpet and freshly applied paint in all the rooms.
Pearson touts additional attractions:
• A spacious living room with vaulted ceiling and brick fireplace.
• Hardwood floors in the dining room and separate foyer.
• New tile floors and light fixtures in the eat-in kitchen and bathrooms.
• High ceiling and large walk-in closet in the master bedroom.
• A "huge" FROG sporting an ample air conditioning system, new carpet and new ceiling fan and light.
The house is "like new," she says.
The home for rent is on the south side of Crowfield Plantation. Heading north and west, take Interstate 26 to exit 209A, which is U.S. Highway 52. Continue on Highway 52 into Goose Creek. Steer left on U.S. Highway 176 (St. James Avenue). Go about two miles and make a left on Crowfield Boulevard. Continue a half-mile and turn left on Hunters Lane. Steer left on Sully Street, then right on Beringer Drive. Make a left on Setters Place. Ahead is 102 Setters Place.
For more information, contact Pearson at 843-553-7727.

Here is a muffin that tastes good and has quite a bit of fiber too. They are so low-fat u can afford 2 put some natty PB on them.
2 1/4 cup oat bran cereal (uncooked)
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp Splenda-brown sugar blend*
1 1/4 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup egg whites or egg beaters
2 tbsp applesauce**
1 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.
3. Spray a muffin tin w/ Pam (butter flavor).
4. Divide up batter equally between the muffin tin cups.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow to cool 30 minutes before serving.
Makes 12 muffins. Each muffin has:
81 calories
2g fat (0g saturated, 1g polyunsaturated, 1g monounsaturated)
18g carbohydrate
5g protein
3g fiber
Macro Profile: 20% fat, 62% carbs, 18% protein
* If u don't have the Splenda brown sugar blend u can use 4 tbsp regular brown sugar, which adds a few more calories.
** I used the low-fat cooking trick of substituting applesauce for the oil. If you don't mind going up to 118 cal & 6g fat per muffin, you can use oil instead of applesauce & also toss in 1/4 cup chopped nuts.

Another comment. If u don't have a muffin tin, u can bake that batch of muffin batter in a 9"x9" square cake pan & then cut it up in2 squares. Takes a bit longer 2 bake that way.Best Regards,

guys an awesome flavouring tool for muffins, is to half pack the mixture in the muffin tray then add in a tsp or so of sugar free jam (or jelly for the americans) then put in a bit more mufin mixture. This gives you a fruity surprise in the middle of your muffin and moistens it up a little"There's levels of retardation most people don't even know about"

You can accelerate your mortgage pay-off by years and save thousands of dollars in interest by making extra payments on the principal portion of your mortgage. Principal is the initial amount of money you borrowed, less whatever amount you have already paid back. Interest is the "rent" you pay for the use of the remaining principal. The more you pay down your principal balance, the less interest you will pay, so a greater amount of your monthly payment will go against the principal. You can accelerate a loan with a large lump sum payment or discipline yourself to make a monthly payment over and above your regular payment.
Items you will need
- Mortgage statement
Lump Sum Payment
Step 1
Contact your lender to learn his required method for noting extra payments. Some companies want the extra payment in a separate check, rather than lumped in with your regular payment. Others will have a space on your monthly payment coupon that allows you to give instructions for disposition of a payment.
Step 2
Review you mortgage statement to establish your interest rate -- usually called "annual percentage rate," or APR, and the amount of money you still owe on principal. Let's say that you closed in November 2010 on a 30-year loan for $350,000 at an interest rate of 5 percent and a monthly payment of $1,878.88.
Step 3
Enter your loan information in an online mortgage calculator (see Resources) and press "calculate" to get the current pay-off date. In the aforementioned hypothetical loan, your payoff will be in November 2040.
Step 4
Enter the amount of your one-time payment in the box below the original number and press "calculate" again. Let's say your great aunt left you a bequest for $10,000 and you're going to apply all of that to your loan principal. In the hypothetical $350,000 loan, your $10,000 payment changes the pay-off date to January 2039, shaving 22 months from the life of the loan.
Step 5
Multiply the number of months you saved by the monthly payment to calculate the total savings your one-time payment achieved: $1,878.88 times 22 equals interest savings of $41,335 over the life of the loan -- a return of more than four times what you paid.
Step 6
Make your lump sum payment to the lender, following her instructions to ensure the payment is properly credited against your principal.
Step 7
Inspect the payment record closely on your next statement to ensure that it was credited correctly -- and enjoy having "cheated" the lender out of all that interest.
Monthly Payments
Step 1
Contact your lender to learn his required method for noting extra payments.
Step 2
Review you mortgage statement to establish your interest rate -- usually called "annual percentage rate," or APR, and the amount of money you still owe on principal.
Step 3
Enter a modest amount that you think you can afford each month in the appropriate box below the original calculation and press "calculate" again. Let's take the $350,000 hypothetical loan and add $100 a month to the regular payment to get a new pay-off date of February 2036 -- a reduction of 57 months on the life of the loan and an interest savings of $107,096.
Step 4
Experiment with the calculator to determine how different amounts of principal payments will help you reach your goals. A larger monthly payment in the early part of the loan may give you the biggest bang for your buck.
Step 5
Add the extra principal payment to each month's regular payment, or send a separate check, making sure that you follow the lender's instructions to get it properly credited.
Step 6
Review your statement closely every month to ensure that your prior payment was credited as you requested.
- Be very careful to make sure your extra payment goes toward principal and not toward some other charge, such as the tax and insurance escrow.
- Whether or not you can continue to make extra payments every month over the life of the loan, it is still worthwhile to do it whenever you can. Since it is entirely voluntary, you incur no penalty for skipping a month -- and even small amounts of money against the principal will have an accelerating effect.

Hello everyone, new member here. I've been working with Maple 16/Mathematica 8/Matlab to find the determinants of some symbolic nxn matrices (a1,1 a1,2 etc). Matlab is able to do them quite easily but when they start getting too large it starts truncating them down to 25000 terms. Mathematica works like a charm but I want to beable to verify the results with Maple. Maple does great up to 7x7 but at 8x8 it seems to also truncate results like Matlab and past that...

"I picked her up [Monday night] and brought her to a friend's house in Los Angeles where we will stay until we decide what we are going to do and where we will go," her mother, Moira Fiore, tells PEOPLE.
A source close to Mueller, 32, says that she'll soon check into a spa to get help with stress reduction and psychological counseling.
"The doctors in ICU told Brooke that if she wants to get better she has to reduce stress and get a lot of R&R in the coming weeks," a source close to Mueller tells PEOPLE. "Her mom thinks she needs some time away from Charlie [Sheen] and Los Angeles to get her head together."
Another source says that the couple's twin sons will stay with Sheen while Mueller is recuperating.
Even though the Two And a Half Men star visited his wife daily for nearly a week while she was in the hospital and "was great," Fiore wants her daughter to spend some time without him.
"She wants Brooke to get well physically and mentally," the first source tells PEOPLE.
Sheen was allowed to have contact with Mueller while she was in the hospital despite a protective order against him stemming from his domestic violence arrest on Christmas Day. The protective order remains in place now that Mueller has checked out of the hospital.
A hearing is set for Feb. 8 in Aspen, Colo, to modify the order.

Pat Howard: Saint Vincent could go it alone no longer against Hamot, UPMC
Only the approval of Erie County Court and the state Attorney General's Office remain for Saint Vincent Health System to be absorbed into a new regional health-care network.
The deal will put the Sisters of St. Joseph of Northwestern Pennsylvania out of the hospital business after nearly 140 years, and cede control of Erie's oldest hospital and its affiliates to out-of-town forces. It also will enlist Saint Vincent in a high-stakes showdown between two Pittsburgh-based health-care behemoths.
Saint Vincent and Highmark Inc. officials said last week that they signed an agreement March 28 that commits Saint Vincent to helping the insurer go toe to toe with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The news came Monday as the Pennsylvania Insurance Department announced its approval of Highmark's related takeover of Pittsburgh's West Penn Allegheny Health System.
Saint Vincent will join with Jefferson Regional Medical Center and West Penn -- with its five hospitals and 11,000 employees -- to become the Allegheny Health Network. Highmark's deep pockets will bankroll the network's uphill push to transform into a credible competitor for the mighty UPMC system.
There's a thread of loss in these events as one of Erie's iconic institutions loses local autonomy, not to mention its defining ties to the good sisters. Much the same was true when the former Hamot Medical Center cast its lot with UPMC and grafted those letters to its identity.
But it's hard to summon a plausible alternative for Saint Vincent at this point, and doubling down on the weak hand it's been playing would likely turn ruinous. Joining Highmark's band of underdogs gives Erie County's fourth-largest employer probably its best shot of altering its trajectory.
Being taken over by Highmark -- which will appoint three-quarters of Saint Vincent's board -- will bring it a more modest, and presumably less transformational, version of the capital infusion Hamot's getting from UPMC. Highmark will provide $20 million to stabilize Saint Vincent's wobbly finances and another $40 million over three years to upgrade its facilities.
That's a lot of cash, obviously, but everything's relative. Highmark's commitment is just a fifth of what UPMC Hamot has coming over 10 years from its mother ship.
Choosing sides is more of a white-knuckle proposition for Saint Vincent in other ways as well. In attaching itself to the Allegheny Health Network and its component pieces, Saint Vincent becomes part of a larger entity with some of the same competitive and financial issues it has faced as an independent.
The West Penn Allegheny Health System, the centerpiece of the new network, posted a $61.4 million loss in the first six months of its fiscal year, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. It's probably telling that counting the new guy being installed as part of this deal, West Penn has gone through six chief executives in 14 years.
UPMC, meanwhile, is dominant in the Pittsburgh market and making its way there in Erie. It's also ruthless and resourceful in ways that will make it difficult even for Highmark's money and reach to get competitive traction against it.
People in Erie and Pittsburgh alike have cause to root for the underdogs, starting with Saint Vincent and its prospective sister hospitals being major employers and economic drivers in their communities. The Allegheny Health Network is also needed to provide people with health-care choices and the market with competition to encourage quality and restrain costs.
That's the big picture. Because Highmark is the dominant health insurer in western Pennsylvania, however, some of the choices resulting from that competition might be disruptive and unwanted at the consumer level.
UPMC says to count on it. It has vowed, in effect, to defend its competitive position as a health-care provider by undermining Highmark's dominance as an insurer.
Highmark's contract with UPMC expires on Dec. 31, 2014, under an extension reached amid political pressure from Harrisburg. UPMC officials have repeatedly said they won't negotiate another if Highmark got into delivering health care.
In that case, going to UPMC doctors and hospitals, including Hamot, would become unaffordable for most people insured by Highmark. For me and many others, that could mean a choice between changing my doctor or my insurance, assuming the latter option would even be available from my employer.
Whatever choices will be imposed on consumers by all of this, Saint Vincent's leaders likely made the only one they could amid the financial and competitive squeeze they face. Once Hamot joined up with the big dog, its old nemesis had to find some formidable friends of its own.

What about this potential division of the Jordan School District? Does it make any sense to you? Does it make any sense to split up a district that has the highest graduation rate among the 50 largest school districts in the country? Do we think we can improve on a graduation rate of 88.5% when the national average is 69.9% (education week report)?
Lets look at the current configuration: The existing district includes West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, Bluffdale, Midvale, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, and Draper.
If both school district creation votes pass, there will be 3 distinct districts. A. West Jordan, B. South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and Bluffdale. C. Midvale , Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, and Draper.
I don't know which way to vote. Now that doesn't mean I don't have a lot to say about education ,and what I want from it.( I want better education for our kids, and lower property taxes.) It's just that it's not clear to me how dividing the Jordan School District is going to make things better.
I'm going to study on it some more and would like to encourage you to do likewise.
The newsletter, Windows, sent out by the Jordan School District is a good place to start. If you got it at home, read it, if not, log in to jordan schools or look at the MORE INFORMATION section.
I'll continue to look, and if I find out anything more, about how the split will affect your childs education or your Real Estate property taxes, I'll give you a heads up.
In the meantime, I'm not the only one with something to say about education, check these out.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.....Mark Twain

Anastasiades: Cyprus Has "No Intention Of Leaving The Euro"
Category: World
/ Mar 29, 2013 6:59PM EDT
Cyprus has "contained" the risk of bankruptcy in the wake of a tough rescue package with the European Union and has no intention of leaving Europe's single currency, the island's president said on Friday (March 29). Conservative leader Nicos Anastasiades spoke a day after banks reopened their doors following an almost two-week shutdown to prevent a run on deposits by panicked Cypriots and wealthy foreign depositors as the east Mediterranean island flirted with bankruptcy. "Let me emphasise this - we have no intention of leaving the euro," Anastasiades told a conference of civil servants in the capital, Nicosia. Anastasiades, barely a month in the post and wrestling with Cyprus's worst crisis since a 1974 war split the island in two, criticised Cyprus's partners in the 17-nation currency bloc, accusing them of making "unprecedented demands that forced Cyprus to become an experiment". For the first time in Europe's handling of its debt crisis, bank depositors have been forced to bear some of the cost of a rescue plan intended to keep the country solvent and in the euro zone. "The situation, in my opinion, despite the tragedy of it all, is contained," said Anastasiades. The president said the government would implement the necessary reforms, so as to encourage investment and to restore the economy. "We are determined as a government to proceed with specific measures so to give the incentive inside of investments both domestic and foreign, to find our feet again," he said, insisting the country had averted bancruptcy. "With this agreement we secured the safety of our country, I believe this, and we have distanced the danger of the collapse of the economy," he added. Anastasiades clinched the last-ditch bailout in Brussels five days ago, but has faced a backlash from Cypriots angry at the price that came with it - the winding down of the island's second-largest bank, Cyprus Popular Bank, or Laiki, and a raid on deposits over 100,000 euros that could spell the end of Cyprus as a hub for offshore finance. The country faces steep job losses and a prolonged and deep recession. (Video Source: REUTERS)

Pay Attention, Please
The new Darwinian imperative may be 'the survival of the focused.'
In the mid-20th century, the French sociologist Jacques Ellul posed 76 "reasonable questions" that he thought we should ask about any new technology. They included moral questions such as "What values does its use foster?" and "What is lost by using it?" and social ones such as "What are its effects on relationships?" Today, as we rush to embrace the latest gadgets and apps, we tend merely to ask: "What does it do?"
Luckily, John Brockman, the founder of the online science-and-technology site Edge.org, decided to pose a bigger question to a varied group of 150 writers, artists, scholars, scientists and pundits: "Is the Internet changing the way you think?" The result is a diffuse but provocative sampling of the ways in which we live with technology today and think about its effects.
Although the sciences are heavily represented among Mr. Brockman's contributors, the volume ranges beyond the usual suspects (e.g., the ubiquitous technology booster Clay Shirky) to include visual artists, architects and musicians whose voices are all too often missing from discussions of technology and contemporary culture.
Whether poets or programmers, the book's contributors write from the perspective not of "digital natives" but of creatures from an earlier age who have had to adapt to the changes wrought by the Internet. As members of a transitional generation, they are poised to address both practical and philosophical themes.
Most of the contributors are enthusiastic about the bounty that the Internet provides, particularly to scientific research, global communication and personal expression. Indeed, several contributors are disparaging of those who question the Internet's costs, dismissing such people as "neophobic" or "curmudgeons and troglodytes." Still, a few writers belie such easy caricature. The neuroscientist Joshua Greene suggests, in a blunt but apt metaphor, that the Internet, for all its revolutionary pretense, is "nothing more, and nothing less, than a very useful, and very dumb, butler."
Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?
Edited by John Brockman
Harper Perennial, 408 pages, $14.99
One theme emerges frequently from enthusiasts and skeptics alike: Precisely because there are such vast stores of information on the Internet, the ability to carve out time for uninterrupted, concentrated thought may prove to be the most important skill that one can hone. "Attention is the fundamental literacy," writes Howard Rheingold, the author of "Smart Mobs."
As playwright Richard Foreman observes of his time spent online: "I can't help being reminded of the Greek philosopher who attributed his long life to avoiding dinner parties. If only I could avoid the equally distracting Internet, which, in its promise of connectedness and expanded knowledge, is really a substitute social phenomenon." Thomas Metzinger, a philosopher, argues that the Internet isn't changing the way we think; it is exacerbating the deceptively simple challenge of "attention management." "Attention is a finite commodity, and it is absolutely essential to living a good life," he argues. The way we use the Internet today represents "not only an organized attack on the space of consciousness per se but also a mild form of depersonalization. . . . I call it public dreaming."
These are not the laments of technophobes. MIT professor Rodney Brooks, an expert on robotics, worries that the Internet "is stealing our attention. It competes for it with everything else we do." Neuroscientist Brian Knutson imagines a near future in which "the Internet may impose a 'survival of the focused,' in which individuals gifted with some natural ability to stay on target, or who are hopped up on enough stimulants, forge ahead while the rest of us flail helpless in a Web-based attentional vortex."
The substitution of the virtual for the real is another common theme. Paleontologist Scott Sampson worries about "the loss of intimate experience with the natural world." And computer scientist Jaron Lanier, the father of virtual reality, says that the Internet has "become gripped by reality-denying ideology." Several of the book's contributors, particularly artists and architects, make solid arguments for the importance of unmediated experiences to the creative process.
A few contributors are entirely undisturbed by the possibility of a virtual future. "Large-scale communal games such as Second Life will become disconcertingly addictive to many ordinary people who understand little of what goes on in the engine room," predicts the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. "And let's not be snobbish about that. For many people around the world, 'first life' reality has few charms, and, even for those more fortunate, active participation in a virtual world is more intellectually stimulating than the life of a couch potato slumped in idle thrall to Big Brother."
Artist and pop musician Brian Eno offers a more compelling assessment of the opportunity costs posed by the Internet: "I notice that the desire for community is sufficiently strong for millions of people to belong to entirely fictional communities, such as Second Life and World of Warcraft," he writes. "I worry that this may be at the expense of First Life." For Mr. Eno, as for many participants in the online world, the Internet's ability to give us free music, images and information has increased rather than replaced the desire for authentic experience, whatever that might be.
In the end, the most striking essays in "Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?" encourage us to look back rather than ahead. We are good at storing the past online—the fleeting, trivial past as well as the distant, information-rich past of researched history—but have we improved our ability to learn from it? Mr. Brockman's book suggests that we must reckon honestly with the many ways in which we have already used technology, both for good and for ill. You don't have to be a troglodyte to recognize that there isn't an app for that.

Schlechter named school district Teacher of the Year
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, March 28th, 2013
For Tammy Jo Schlechter, teaching isn't just a job, it's a way to touch lives.
"I call teachers 'lifetouchers,' because that's what we do, touch lives," she said. "We teachers want to benefit our students and help them."
Schlechter and her sparkling personality light up the halls at Hermosa, where she teaches math, American history and reading. She has been with the Custer School District for six years.
"I started writing my closings on my emails 'Sparkling in Education' some time ago because I love to sparkle and smile for those around me everyday," she said. "I don't know everything about math or even history because I still have so much left to learn. However, I know I can smile and share that sparkle with those around me. That is why I like to sparkle in education. I believe it is my purpose in life."
Because of her sparkling personality, Schlechter's peers and students love to work and be around her.
"She has excellent rapport with her students, shows a sincere interest in them as individuals and is consistently fair in dealing with them," said school district superintendent Scott Lepke. "Mrs. Schlechter can be seen at many of the student's event and activities in support of their efforts. The students truly appreciate seeing her there to cheer them on. "
Lepke said Schlechter is always looking for ways to improve her instructional strategies by making teaching more interesting and informative to benefit her students.
"Her classroom is always a positive place for her students," he said. "The classroom reflects her positive, optimistic attitude about life and education. I have never met anyone so positive and passionate about education."
In the past, she taught fourth through eighth grades in country school settings.
"I taught everything for core subjects, but I really trained hard in math and science early on in my career," she said.
Schlechter grew up in rural South Dakota near Millboro, where she attended Millboro Country School from second to eighth grades. Her family ranched and had a dairy so Schlechter grew up milking cows, feeding calves, chasing pigs and collecting eggs. They even had sheep, so Schlechter was lucky enough to cuddle and bottle feed lambs. Schlechter and her three younger sisters participated in 4-H, where she often showed her favorite pigs, cattle and horses.
"I grew up with my family and the good ol' Millboro Church and community," she said. "Those years spent in my country school led me down the path towards becoming a life toucher."

The Community Foundation Serving Greeley and Weld County has launched a new website to make it easier for visitors to find information.
The new site strives to make it easier for donors, grant seekers and fund holders to support local causes, find information and see how the foundation is doing in Weld County.
It also offers a nonprofit directory for donors, a resource section for nonprofits and provides optimal viewing on multiple devices.
"Our goal with the website is to provide our visitors with an easier way to learn more about what the Community Foundation does, why we do what we do, and how to get involved," President & CEO Judy Knapp said in a news release.
One of the new features of the site is a new blog, titled "1 in 10,000," by Knapp that recounts her decade with the Foundation and her work with nonprofits. It focuses on the baby boomers born in the mid-1900s who are now finding themselves in retirement.
"Several of my friends and colleagues in both the public and nonprofit sectors have retired recently, and many others are planning this transition over the next few years," Knapp said. "This blog will highlight aspects of my personal journey as I prepare to retire."

By Harlan Coben
Disappearing family members and psychopaths on the loose add up to another unpredictable thriller from Coben. The hero, Dr. Marc Seidman, awakens in a hospital to learn he has barely survived a bullet in the chest, his wife has been murdered, and their 6-month-old daughter is missing. When a kidnapper demands money 12 days after the fact, Seidman's confusion only deepens: Why would the kidnappers try to kill the people who could pay the ransom?
Returning to the missing-person theme that drove Tell No One and Gone for Good to the bestseller lists, Coben again keeps the reader off-balance with innovative story lines and diabolical bad guys—this time including a former child sitcom star. But some passages are saccharine and Coben throws in one plot twist too many. The result is a fresh take on a standard setup that spoils in the last chapters. (Dutton, $24.95)
