Atchley named 2014 Outstanding AlumnusPosted January 10, 2014
Rick Atchley, who preaches a message of hope and reconciliation to thousands of congregants each week at The Hills Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, has been named the 2014 Abilene Christian University Outstanding Alumnus of the Year.
Atchley, born in Waco and raised in Dallas, took over the pulpit at North Richland Hills Church of Christ in 1989 and has seen the congregation grow to become the largest Church of Christ in the United States, with roughly 5,000 members.
"I don't feel deserving," Atchley said of winning ACU's highest alumni award. "I love what I do, and I feel called to do what I do, and I feel it's important — but I don't feel I do what I do any more faithfully than hundreds of graduates from ACU. I'm thankful my alma mater feels that what people like me do is successful, too."
Atchley will be honored with an Alumni Day luncheon on the ACU campus, Sunday, Feb. 16. Also to be honored are Fort Worth ministry couple Randy and Anda Brown, ACU's 2014 Young Alumni of the Year.
A 1978 graduate in communication, Atchley began his preaching career in Abilene at Southern Hills Church of Christ. In his 35 years of ministry, Atchley has drawn on lessons learned during his childhood, in which he witnessed firsthand the racial tension of post-segregation Dallas in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
North Richland Hills Church of Christ changed its name to The Hills Church of Christ in 2010, in part reflecting the unity and diversity Atchley has made a focus of his ministry. The congregation's 2020 vision calls for planting new churches, supporting more missionary families and sending thousands of people on short-term missions trips around the globe. It also has reached out to congregations from other streams of the same Stone-Campbell Movement from which Churches of Christ arose.
ACU has recognized an outstanding alumnus or alumna for lifetime achievement bringing honor to the university each year since 1958. Previous winners have included Pulitzer Prize-winning Dallas Morning News photographer David Leeson and international best-selling author and preacher Max Lucado, who also was Atchley's college roommate.

In the 19th century and first half of the 20th century, hospital accommodations consisted of large multi-bed wards with as many as 20 patients, and semi-private or private rooms for those who could pay. Patients received care in these facilities for decades after the design had become obsolete. Almost 90 years ago, it was proposed that single-patient rooms were the ideal setting to provide patient care.1 In the last half of the 20th century, new hospitals were built featuring mostly single-, double-, and 4-bed rooms. It is likely that these hospitals may not be able to adequately provide safe patient-centered care over the next 50 years of their life span. Most modern hospitals have public value statements regarding safety, dignity, privacy, and patient-centered care. A tangible way to show commitment to these values would be to give patients their bed with their own bathroom in a single-patient room.

No. 17/15 GW Uses Team Effort to Down Western Kentucky, 80-63
Tournament MVP Kimberly Beck Finishes Tourney With 34 Points, 22 Assists
Nov. 24, 2007
Final Stats | AP Photo Gallery
WASHINGTON, DC (AP) - Jessica Adair had 23 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 17/15 George Washington to an 80-63 victory over Western Kentucky in the finale of the GW Thanksgiving Classic on Saturday.
It was Adair's second double-double in as many days, following her 18-point, 11-rebound performance in a 65-60 victory over South Dakota State.
Tournament MVP Kimberly Beck had 18 points and 12 assists for the Colonials (5-1), who have won two straight since losing 67-42 to No. 7 Rutgers. Sarah-Jo Lawrence added 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.
Crystal Kelly led Western Kentucky (4-2) with 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting and added five rebounds.
The Colonials, who played without two starters, took control with a 14-2 run early in the second half. Antelia Parrish, George Washington's leading rebounder and second-leading scorer, missed the game with a sprained left ankle sustained in Friday's game. Whitney Allen missed her second straight game with a broken left ring finger.
Lawrence, a senior, became the 24th member of George Washington's 1,000-point club with a jumper that gave the Colonials a 22-21 lead with 8:39 remaining in the first half.
2007 GW Thanksgiving Classic All-Tournament Team
NOTES: GW was the only team to win both its games at the Classic (WKU - 1-1, SDSU - 1-1, SIU - 0-2) ... GW got a season-high 14 points from its bench, led by five points each from junior Jamila Bates and freshman Erica Rivera ... Senior Lora Mitchell converted her second and third career field goals to help the Colonials maintain their double-digit lead in the second half ... Sophomore Stefani Munro made her first career start ... Bates added a career-high nine rebounds ... Beck's 12 assists moved her to within 19 of Colleen McCrea for second on GW's career list, and 26 of all-time leader Kathy Marshall ... Lawrence now has 1,010 points in 102 career games.

The friends and family of the man found dead in a car in Jersey City on Tuesday are fondly remembering the 46-year-old, whom authorities say was the victim of a homicide.
Robert Ashbourne of Mt. Vernon, N.Y., was found dead in a Cadillac at Palisade Avenue and Waverly Street Tuesday, officials said, and died of a gunshot wound to the neck. Authorities are investigating.
Many have taken to Ashbourne's Facebook page to say their goodbyes.
Ashbourne's most recent post was on Sunday at 10:19 p.m.: "19 years ago i lost my son, That was Hell on earth."
Comments on the post, which showed a photo collage T-shirt with images of his son Sadiyq, started with friends offering condolences, but turned as news of Ashbourne's death broke.
Here are some of the tributes to Ashbourne:
Vanessa White: Robert u was just talking about ur son and now ur gone R.I.P. Robert Ashbourne
Shawyn Patterson Howard: Rest in Peace Robert till we meet in Glory. Prayers are with the family.
Boogie Black: I'm speechless.. good brother gone way to soon.. omg
Sharnice Thorne-McDonald: Robert you will truly be missed. I can't believe you are gone. I'm really stuck and lost for words. You was a very sweet person.
Sheena J-Walker: I am truly sorry this has happened to a great role model, father, cousin, dad brother. Malik your entire GA fam to NY beyond are praying for you daily. We will pull through together. I Know we all are far apart but know we are always rooting for your success with God and your guardian angel (your father) you will do great things.
Perhaps the most moving Facebook tribute is found on a different page, that of his son Malik's:
"Yesterday I Found Out I Lost My Father I Haven't Really Been Saying Much But My Heart Broken That Is Another One Of Bestfriends That Is Gone I Love U So Much Dad Idk How Am I Goin To Get Threw This But Me And The Family Will Find Away I Promise I'm Goin To Make U Proud Of Me R.I.P Dad Love U"
A recent post on Ashbourne's Facebook page says Malik, who graduated from Northeastern Academy in New York in June, received a music scholarship while another son, Najee, a wide receiver, got a scholarship to play football at Ohio State.

This Christmas Charles Dickens' heartwarming family favourite A Christmas Carol comes to life in a fabulous new stage adaptation.
Bah! Humbug! It's Christmas Eve and the meanest and most cold-hearted man in London, Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for merriment or mistletoe.
But just as the clock strikes midnight his world turns around when he is taken on a journey through the vivid and enchanting worlds of past, present and future.
Will Scrooge change his ways in time for Christmas Day?

Really looking forward to it.

Steph from The REP
It's not a musical is it ?
Bob Smith from Bromsgrove
Is this production a musical or a straight production based closely on the book?
Malcolm Peterman from Member of the public
Please can you confirm what time the saturday afternoon production finishes? My son is playing in a concert in the evening
Sheree Green from newcastle-under-Lyme
It has been a long time since visiting the Birmingham Rep, can you advise which row and approx position is best to see the any of the presentations. We would like to see A Christmas Carol but we really could do with advise on where is best to sit, there will be approx 4 possibly 5 of us.
Dave from Hagley
Could you tell me what time the perfomance finishs on the friday 27th Novemebr show at 7.30pm
julie french from birmingham
Hello Julie and Sheree - thanks for your messages. The play is still in rehearsals, and so we can't give an accurate running time at this stage. Our 'very' rough estimate at this stage is between 2hours and 2hours 30 minutes, but we will of course post the accurate running times on this page as soon as we have them. I hope this is of some help to you and we look forward to welcoming you to The REP.
Steph from The REP
Hi Dave - thank you for your message. The REP's auditorium is a democratic one, meaning that we have one large raked auditorium, rather than stalls, circle and boxes. This means that there really aren't any 'best seats in the house', and you should get a great view from wherever you sit. If you have specific requirements, eg level access to seats, or you prefer to be on the end of a row or not too high up, then if you telephone the sales team on 0121 236 4455 they will be pleased to advise you on which seats would suit your party best.
I hope this helps!
Steph from The REP
I have been reading on your site about the theatre days you do before a production for schools and I was wondering if there will be any for this performance? Thanks

fiona davey from birmingham
Hi Helen - unfortunately there aren't any theatre days around A Christmas Carol, however we do offer workshops in schools - if this is of any interest to you please contact the Learning & Participation Department on 0121 245 2092 and they'll be pleased to give you more details.
Steph from The REP

fiona davey from birmingham
Hi Fiona - thanks for your message. We offer a range of group discounts but these depend on which performance you come to and the size of your group. If you give the Sales Team a call on 0121 236 4455 they will be pleased to advise you on the best available rate for your group.
Steph from The REP
Hi, What age is classed as adult, because we have 2 boys aged 16 and 1 aged 12. What is the price of a ticket for children please. We are looking to go on 18th December.

Debbie Bills from netherton west midlands
hello .
a couple of people have asked you whether this is a play (with songs) based reasonably closely on the text or 'a musical' but so far I can't see an answer posted. Need to know to know who it will suit

I hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you to The REP.
Steph from The REP
Hi to everyone who has asked whether A Christmas Carol is a 'straight play' or a musical - it's a musical with script by Bryony Lavery and music & lyrics by Jason Carr.
Steph from The REP
I know the strobe lighting question has been asked, but will A Christmas Carol contain any fireworks or loud bangs (like when the Witch made the turkish delight appear in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe last year)? Many thanks and good luck with opening night next week!!
From James
James from Solihull
I am going to see this with some people from my school!
i am really excited as i also get a backstage tour and an interview with 2 actors!
please can you tell me if it is any good or if you enjoyed it?
Haleema from Coventry
Hello James - yes there will be some loud bangs and flashes - the play hasn't had its technical rehearsals yet so I can't be more specific about when they will occur etc, but do contact us again if you require detailed information.
Steph from The REP
hello, at what time would we have to arrive if we were to have a three course dinner before the production of A Christmas carol? Thank you
anthony gillett from moseley, birmingham
Hi Anthony - thanks for your message. If you're seeing a 7.30pm performance I'd recommend that you're seated in the restaurant no later than 6pm to ensure you have enough time for your meal.
Steph from The REP
Just wondering as students are given £15 discount, is this based on any student age, am 23 with a university student id. Is this ok?
Selina Thomason from Nottingham
Hi Selina - Student Discount, where available, is based on having student ID, so you will be eligible for this discount.
Steph from The REP
hi i dont know the area at all and am planning to view the production. could you please recomend some good resturants and accomadation in the area?
liam dyer from doncaster
Hi Liam - thanks for your message. I'm pleased to see that you're planning to travel from Doncaster to see the show! We have a great bar and restaurant here at The REP, and there are lots of different kinds of restaurants and bars within a few minutes' walk. You can find more details of hotels and restaurants in Birmingham here http://www.visitbirmingham.com/.
Steph from The REP
Saw the production last night. Absolutely brilliant and not what I expected. The atmostsphere was definately one of a ghost story in keeping with Dicken's original vision. Cast brilliant ~ see how many of them you recognise as the characters change and the make up switches round. The concept particulalry of the "stage ghosts" having no concept of past present or future as their ages differ a stroke of genius. The characters on the stage give it a 3D effect ~ you need to be there to appreciate it ~ i've just bought more tickets!!
nattasha freeman from I went as a member of WIBA
Went last night and thought it was brilliant. The actors are so talented, acting dancing and singing and all to such a high standard. Loved the interpretation especially Tiny Tim which allowed the other characters to develop more fully. the stage props and costume were amazing. Think it might scare some youngsters but the crowds of children there last night loved it and gave the Company a fantastic chorus of approval at the end. Shame it had to end. may try to get to see it again.
Also had an amazing meal beforehand - the lamb was the best I have ever had and so tender it melted in the mouth . Thank you
Christine Adams from Kings Norton, Birmingham
what a fantastic show very dark deep and ghostly atmosphere for me it beats the muppets christmas carol brilliant changes with the cast if i could would go again well done to the rep
lynn knott from west brom
Good play, excellent production, only one problem... no Muppets. Some interesting alternative puppet work however...
James Jones from Kings Heath
Just wanted to congratulate everyone involved with 'A Christmas Carol'. I saw it last night and thought it was excellent - a really imaginative retelling of a familiar story. I wasn't expecting such a spectacle. I'm hoping there are some tickets left as I want to see it again now!
Rebecca Sherwood from Halesowen
Saw the show last night, thought it was fantastic, a brilliant version of a classic story, great to see christmas future cast as death. And the younger members of the cast were absolutely brilliant, would go again if i get chance.
NIGEL DAWSON from Sutton Coldfield
I am very concerned about the access to the site and parking, i walk with a stick, but can not walk far. Is it far from the car park?
Susan Jackson from Stoke on Trent
it was a really good show . ;)
hayden patel from wheelers lane
Hello Susan and thanks for your message. The car park is a couple of hundred yards from the entrance to the theatre. If you're not able to walk as far as this, you have a couple of options - firstly if you are a blue badge holder we have a small number of parking spaces available right next to the theatre - these need to be reserved in advance, which you can do through the Sales Team on 0121 236 4455. They are limited so I would suggest you get in touch with the Sales Team as soon as you're able to. Alternatively if someone else is driving you to the theatre you could be dropped off at the side of The REP on King Alfred's Place (between The REP and the ICC - just off the roundabout on Cambridge Street) before they park in the car park. I hope that one of these options is suitable for you, and we look forward to welcoming you to The REP.
Steph from The REP
I saw this production with my school today( 8th december) IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!! The cast were great and they were so convincing. My favourite part was when they were all singing in the Fuzzywig bit.The songs were great too!! Everyone should go and see it!!!
Stevie Elkington from Birmingham
I had the three course meal with a friend recently , and as a vegetarian , I can say that the meal was outstanding . A lot of thought had been put into it , unlke some veggie meals , and I will definitely return . Service is great and the staff were geared up to making sure that people were on time for the start of the show .
Well done Rep. My friend loved her fish meal too.
Katrina baker from West Midlands
Hi, Am coming on the 23rd Dec and want to eat out after.
Anyone know what the running time is including intervals please?
Also, will it be busy and queueing to park for the evening show? If so how long should I allow.
David from Nuneaton
Hi David - thank you for your message. The show lasts for approximately 2 hours 5 minutes including an interval. Having checked the NIA and Symphony Hall websites there is a concert at Symphony Hall on 23rd so combined with Christmas shopper traffic in the city centre I would expect the area to be busy. I would therefore advise that you allow plenty of time for your journey. We look forward to welcoming you to The REP and hope you enjoy the show.
Steph from The REP
This production was just fabulous! I've been recommending it to everyone! Loved the spookiness and I came out feeling very xmassy! It's the best xmas show I've been to in a long time. Well done everyone & a very happy Christmas to all involved! :o)
T Street from Dudley
Fantastic production in every way.
Tina from Droitwich
I am so very proud to be a Brummie when we produce shows as fine as this one! Very well done to everybody involved, and all the best to the REP for an exciting 2010!
Natalie from Birmingham
02/01/2010, What an absolutely fantastic performance by the whole cast,the images that your cast portrayed were absolutely stunning,and the acting and singing were first rate.I can whole heartedly recommend this production.Thanks again for a wonderful evenings entertainment.
Malcolm & Val from Birmingham
Having seen the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre production of this version I was very interested in seeing what the Birmingham Rep production would be like and I can hand on heart say it is the very best professional production of A Christmas Carol I have ever seen (and I've seen a few). Everything was used to its very best advantage and even though I saw the show a few days into the New Year, the closing image of an ideal Christmas scene sent Christmassy feelings through my body once more. Thanks for such a great show.
Jonathan Wright from Birmingham
Just wanted to thank you all for your brilliant comments on A Christmas Carol - the show has been an absolute joy and we're sad that it's coming to an end! Thanks also to Jonathan (the last commenter) for his great blog about the show - read it here http://jonnymwright.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/culture-a-christmas-carol-birmingham-rep/.
Steph from The REP
We saw A Christmas Carol last night and all thought that it was fantastic. The actors were brilliant, the effects were amazing and the whole performance was just wonderful! Great work by everyone concerned - both on stage, behind the scenes and in the pit! Well done, and thank you so much for a most enjoyable evening!
Baker family from Halesowen

"All adults will be able to appreciate and relate to this show," says Simona Rivkin, Cultural Arts Chairperson, Temple Beth-El, who brought the show to central New Jersey. "As adults, we all have been in one of these situations, either as a child or parent or grandparent. These are the typical challenges we all face in life; you can take solace that you are not alone (although at the time it may seem that way)."

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy
Risks continued...
You will lie down for 30 to 60 minutes after the biopsy so the site can be checked for bleeding. If you had a sedative, you will need someone to drive you home after the biopsy.
You may feel sore at the biopsy site for several days. Ice packs to the site, walking, and pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), can be used to help you feel better.
Call your doctor immediately if you have:
- More tenderness, pain, redness, or swelling at the biopsy site.
- A fever.
- Bleeding or drainage, such as pus, from the biopsy site. If you are bleeding, put pressure on the site and call your doctor.
A bone marrow aspiration and biopsy removes a small amount of bone and a small amount of fluid and cells from inside the bone (bone marrow). It is often done to find the reason for many blood disorders and may be used to find out if cancer or infection has spread to the bone marrow.
Biopsy results are usually ready in 1 to 7 days. But it may take several weeks to get the results if genetic tests are done on the sample. The bone is put into a solution that breaks down its calcium before it is stained. The bone marrow sample is often treated with special dyes (stains) to see any changes in the blood cells more clearly.
The marrow has normal amounts of fat, connective tissue, and iron. Normal numbers of both mature and immature (growing) bone marrow cells are present.
No signs of infection are seen.
No cancer cells, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, are seen.
No cancer cells have spread from other cancer sites, such as breast cancer.
The cells in the bone marrow do not look normal.
There are too many or too few bone marrow cells. The bone tissue does not look normal.
Too much iron or too little iron (iron deficiency anemia) is seen in the bone marrow.
Signs of infection are seen in the bone marrow.
Cancer cells, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, are seen.
The bone marrow has been replaced by scar tissue.

If you're a Mets fan, you've probably spent much of your time in Shea Stadium and Citi Field cursing the name of ex-Braves legend Chipper Jones for delivering against them in what felt like every at-bat.
But which opposing pitchers are to blame for that kind of domination of the Yankees, Mets and Phillies?
A tip of the cap to Sports On Earth's Matthew Kory for answering that question. Here's what he found out:
Yankees: Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm was the most dominant hurler despite, as Kory pointed out, quality of competition wasn't as high in parts of the 1960s. "[Throwing] 209 innings of 1.98 ERA ball isn't anything to sneeze at, even if it comes against the Hillsboro Hops. That it came against the New York Yankees makes it more legitimate though."
Mets: Another Hall of Famer to blame: Dodgers great Sandy Koufax, though Kory noted that the Mets weren't exactly the greatest team from 1962-66. But the word impressive doesn't even begin to describe Koufax whiffing 173 batters in 162 innings. An also-ran? A pitcher by the name of Pedro Martinez, who would later sign with the franchise.
Phillies: Would you have guessed Whit Wyatt, who played for five different teams in 16 years? Us neither. "His 1.54 ERA is the lowest of anyone with 100 or more innings against the Phillies, and he's one of only nine pitchers to put up a sub-2.00 ERA against the Phils," Kory wrote.

Read an Excerpt
Emma Chandler forced a smile as she packed up her Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag and walked out of the boardroom with her head held high. It was bad enough to be in the lair of her longtime family rival Kell Montrose. That was stressful on its own. But to see her younger sisters paired up and happily in love with Kell's cousins, Dec and Allan, who were also Montrose heirs, was another stab to the heart.
A wave of loneliness washed over her. She should give up trying to keep herself on the board at Playtone-Infinity Games and let Kell win. Except that wasn't her style. But no matter how hard she tried to fight it, it looked as if she was on the way out of the company that she'd poured her life into for the last four years.
The hostile takeover had been a surprise, but to be honest, she'd known for a long time that Kell Montrose intended to find a way to make Infinity Games his own and then tear it apart. It didn't matter that her grandfatherthe man Kell had hatedwas dead and buried or that the company had floundered a little under her guidance. She'd hoped somehow to find a heart and soul under Kell's solemn exterior. Someone she could negotiate with.
Instead she'd found a man bent on revenge, and her two sisters despite their best intentions, had fallen in love with the enemy. They had also proven themselves indispensable and secured their positions at the newly merged company. They were all finding their own place except her. She, of course, had the same chance to prove herself but she knew she was the one Chandler that Kell hated the most.
The one who'd witnessed his humiliation at the hands of her grandfather. The one Kell wasn't going to keep around any longer than he had to. The one who had exactly forty-eight hours to come up with a kick-ass idea or she wouldn't blame him for showing her the door. She thought she might have one but wasn't sure he'd give her a fair shake.
When the elevator opened, she got on and reached for the Close button. She wanted to be alone. But just as the doors started to slide shut a big masculine hand wrapped around the edge and kept them open.
She groaned inwardly as Kell stepped over the threshold and into the elevator. She hoped her forced smile would stay in place. After all, how long could it take to reach the lobby? Five minutes?
"Feeling like the Lone Ranger?" he asked.
His eyes were a silvery-pewter color that always fascinated her. They were gorgeous, she thought, but icy and intense as well.
"Not at all. Why would I?" she asked. She'd always been able to play it cool and intended to do that now.
"Your sisters have come over to the dark side. I'm going to finish bringing the last vestiges of Infinity Games under the Playtone umbrella soon."
He deserved his moment to crow, but that didn't mean she had to stand here and listen to it. She reached for the buttons again to open the doors and get off but it was too late. The elevator started moving.
"You okay?" he asked.
His face was angular, all strong jawbone and a very stubborn chin. His hair was thick and a warm, dark brown color that was almost chestnut. He wore it longer on the top and parted on the side. It was thick and curly and she almost wanted to touch those carelessly styled curls of his.
She looked up into his silvery eyes and saw a hint of humanity there. "I'm fine. I just don't like elevators. I should have taken the stairs."
"And then you could have avoided me."
"That would be a plus. I get that you hold all the cards but don't write me off yet."
"Was that what I was doing?" he asked.
He had a deep voice that she had to admit she'd always enjoyed listening to. She was a total idiot, she thought. It had been almost four years since her husband, Helio's, death and since then she hadn't been attracted to a single man. Now she was standing in an elevator way too close to one and felt a tingle of anticipation.
What the hell was wrong with her? Was this just her way of making sure she was miserable for the rest of her natural life?
She realized Kell was waiting for an answer and she looked up at him and let her guard slip for just a second. "You were being an ass."
He laughed. "There's the fire I remember from the old days when we were interns together at Infinity Games. Where you were always struggling to be the best. What happened to that?"
When they were younger, her grandfather had been persuaded by the human resources department to give Kell one of the internships after his family had threatened to sue if he wasn't accepted.
"Nothing." She wasn't about to admit to a single real emotion to this man. Besides, he'd have to be an idiot not to know that losing her husband when she was pregnant hit her like a ton of bricks and then pouring her heart into this company and having him snatch it out of her hands wasn't helping.
One second away from letting him have it, she turned on him. Then she wondered why was she holding it in. It was safe to say that at this moment she had nothing left to lose. She knew it, and from the smug look on Kell's face, he knew it too.
"You really want to know what's bothering me?" she asked, taking a step forward, causing him to step back.
"I'm tired of jumping through hoops and coming up with my best ideas and then having to run down here and get them approved by you and the assembled board. I know whatever I say, it's never going to be good enough in your eyes to make up for the way you were treated by my grandfather. And I also am very aware of the fact that if I can't make this work I have no other options. All of my job experience is with a company I let get taken over."
He just stood there, his silvery eyes narrowed and his arms crossed over his chest. She knew he didn't like being called on the fact that he'd pushed her into a corner or that no matter what, he wasn't going to let her keep her job.
"What, no more comments? No more gloating?"
The elevator halted with a jerk and she reached out to brace herself again. "Better get that looked at, Montrose. I'd hate to see your empire crumble from the inside."
He stood up and pressed the button but nothing happened. They were trapped in the elevator. He hit the buttons for all the floors and then turned back to her. "Looks like we're stuck."
She could think of other words to say but her son, Sammy, was getting to the age where he'd repeat words, so lately she'd been trying to keep it clean. But really, could this day get any worse?
At least she was alive. At least she had a roof over her head. Ugh. She didn't want her mom's voice in her head. Not now. But now that it had started she was inundated with all the things she should be thankful for. Her mom had always made her list them if she complained about something. She groaned again.
"Are you hurt? You keep making little noises," Kell said.
He looked a bit unnerved by the thought that she might be hurt. "I'm fine. I just had my mom's voice in my head."
His brow furrowed as he looked over at her.
"You know how moms are with advice and stuff. My mom's pet peeve with me was whining, so whenever I'd complain about something, she'd have me write out a gratitude list. And just now, I was thinking what a crap day this was and then I started making the list. It's a sickness, really. Was your mom like that?"
"Figures. Did she just bake cookies and spoil you? I told my mom there were ones out there who did that."
"No. Kristi Keller Montrose never did any of that. She left me with my grandfather when I was three and never looked back."
Emma stared at him for a really long time. It explained so much about Kell and made her see him as a little bit more human than she wanted to. She liked him as her enemy, pictured him as the dark, evil knight from Sammy's favorite bedtime story, but she'd just seen the first chink in the armor. Kell had clearly been the best of their group of interns and everyone had expected Gregory Chandler to offer him the managerial role in the company. But her granddad had called Kell into his office, kept him waiting and then told him that he'd never have a job at Infinity Games. No matter how many times he threatened to sue.
No, that wasn't true, she'd seen the chink a long time ago in her grandfather's office. "I'm sorry, Kell." She was sad for the boy he'd been and for the man he'd become.
"You can't miss what you never had," he admitted, as he pressed the emergency button. They were still trapped in the elevator.
Of all the things that Kell wanted to discuss with Emma, his parents weren't one of them. They'd been working together for the last six months and he had to admit, she'd been an asset to merging his company with hers. But now it was time for her to either transition into another role or leave, which was pretty much what he'd said just now at the board meeting in front of his cousins and her sisters. Everyone had looked at him as if he was the bad guy, but that was reality.
After Emma had abruptly left the meeting, they'd all been staring at him with accusation in their eyes, and he'd finally decided to just go after her. But it wouldn't change anything. And now they were trapped in the elevator, just as if they were trapped in the old feud between their families.
It had been six months since he'd initialized the hostile takeover of her family's company Infinity Games. It was now January in Southern California where they lived, and that meant chilly weather, but no snow. And he was more than happy to concede that he was very chilly toward Emma and all the Chandlers. He could even acknowledge it was a coping mechanism.
Since then, his cousins had weakened and fallen in love with the other two Chandler sisters. But Kell hadn't forgotten the way they'd struggled growing up under the bitter tutelage of their grandfather, Thomas Montrose. There had been only one thing that Grandfather Thomas had wanted and that was to see all Chandlers suffer as he had when he'd been cut out of the profits and left to see someone else developing his dreams. And the message had sunk in with Kell, the eldest grandson, who'd spent the most time with the old man. Kell's dad had been a navy SEAL killed in action and his mom had lit out for greener pastures.
"So " Emma said after the silence stretched on, their call for help unanswered. "I guess one role you might need to fill is building maintenance."
He chuckled. "That would be a waste of your skills."
"It would, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be stuck in here now if I was in charge of it."
"Have you thought of anything else you can do in Playtone-Infinity Games?" he asked.
She rubbed the back of her neck and glanced over at him. He'd always thought her eyes were pretty. The color of the California sky on a late autumn day when it was clear and so blue it almost hurt to look at it.
Her long reddish-brown hair was pulled back in a chignon but a tendril had escaped to curl around her ear. He didn't want to notice it, but he did. He also couldn't tear his eyes from her lips. She had a kissable mouth, he noticed. Her lower lip was full and just looking at it whetted his appetite.
She wore a black Chanel dress with a gold accent at the neck that made hers seem long and slender. He recognized the designer because his last girlfriend had worked for Neiman Marcus and had paraded haute couture in front of him all the time.
"The only viable idea I have for a new role is to make the company's charitable arm more of a foundation. There are a few things I've been wanting to implement but there was never time in my schedule."
"Like what?" he asked. Creating a foundation would be great for the tax write-off. They were about to see some huge gains in profit from the merged company and he didn't want it all to go to taxes.
"Shouldn't I save this for the meeting in forty-eight hours that decides my fate?"
"Just run it past me," he said.
"I've been working on a prototype game at home for my tablet that would help kids with reading. I know there are other reading apps and software out there but they don't work with Sammy. So I started focusing on what he likes and working to his skills."
"That's a lot of customization," he said, but already he saw the potential in the idea. If they distributed a learning game through a foundation they could get their software into the hands of kids as they were just starting to play. So that once they were older they'd gravitate toward the Playtone-Infinity family of console and handheld games.
"Yes, but I've been talking to some of the teachers at the nursery school and they said most kids fall into four or five categories for learning so we'd create different versions based on those categories and then roll it out in test groups. What do you think?"
"I like it. I like it a lot. But you're going to need more than just one game to keep your job."
"I realize that," she said. "I've been jotting down some notes on what the charitable trust could look like and working on the job description for the chairman role."
"Fair enough. After your initial meeting with the board in forty-eight hours, why don't we have a meeting next week in your office. You can show me your prototype and your ideas for the structure of the foundation. If it's viable we'll discuss a way to make it work."
"Really?" she asked. It was almost too good to be true.
"I just said so," he said sarcastically.
"But I thought you were going to take out your revenge on the Chandlers by firing me," she said.
"Well, if you keep talking about it then I will just fire you outright. But we're family now. You and I share a nephew and an adopted niece. I've always been focused on revenge, but now that I have what I want, maybe I need to look at the future a little differently."

The Relay for Life has bounced back this year for its 10th anniversary after a dip in numbers last year.
Morph suits, chicken outfits, super heroes, and more were all seen at this weekend's Relay for Life in Hamilton.
Marking its 10th year anniversary, the event had nearly double the number of participants of the previous year.
"Last year we were a bit low, we had about 50 teams entered, normally we have around 100 teams," communications and events assistant for Cancer Society Waikato Bay of Plenty, Sarah Fitzpatrick said.
"But this year is our 10th anniversary, so a lot of people have said yep we are coming back for 10 years.
This year over 91 teams registered, not including single participants.
."It's awesome, we are so thrilled, we have around 91 teams this year with 10 people in each team, and we have over 200 survivors, which I think is the biggest number of survivors we have ever had registered," Fitzpatrick says.
Helen Painting, a cancer survivor, said she has been participating in the event for over seven years. For three of them she was participating in the relay organising committee.
She said, the highlights this year were the "survivors walk and the amount of people that came in costume".
Hautapu Primary School also attended for their fourth year in a row this year. Tristyn Gretton said that four of their staff members have breast cancer, so they come to show their support.
They also came third in the team fundraising this year.
"We came third for fundraising according to the board - we raised $8000 this year, which is $5000 more than last year," Gretton said.The relay has already raised more than $131,000 with the final figure set to rise further
Loraine Jecentho was part of the Pink Panthers team from Matamata.
Her team was dressed in pink pants, pink t-shirts with the logo PPP, pink sunglasses, a black nose and whiskers and, to top it all off, fluffy pink ears.
She said she loves "seeing everyone supporting [the relay] and putting in the effort is just great".

The Bookkeeper Inc - Cleveland, AL - Phone: (205) 274-2606
Recording of financial transactions including sales, income, purchases and payments by an individual or an organization is usually known as 'Bookkeeping' in Cleveland. These recordings are done very systematically. The two most common bookkeeping types are single entry bookkeeping system and the double entry bookkeeping system. The bookkeeping method, that uses only income and payment accounts is known as Single-entry bookkeeping. It is recorded primarily in a revenue and expense journal. The above mentioned is also sufficient for many small businesses. The other method, double-entry bookkeeping usually requires recording of each transaction twice, using debits and credits. Bookkeeping is not only a career now, but also a subject considered in schools in Cleveland.

BEND, Ore. (AP) Clean energy companies in Oregon are finding lawmakers more reluctant to give them tax credits.
Tax credits for clean energy companies ballooned from about $100 million in 2006 to more than $300 million in 2010, according to Legislative Revenue Office figures.
That prompted lawmakers facing troubled budgets to rein in the credits, The Bend Bulletin reported Sunday.
From 2005 to 2009, Bend fuel-cell maker IdaTech tapped Oregon's Business Energy Tax Credits program eight times, securing $10.7 million in tax credits for research and development.

The new Bosch spade bits however are almost like a different tool. The DareDevil bit pulls itself through wood without any effort at all which really makes repetitive drilling significantly easier especially at an angle or overhead.
The key to this performance is the patented design of the bit itself. Many of the other wood drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast smooth feeding. A first for spades, Bosch has incorporated a full cone threaded tip, which has increased not only the speed of the bit, but also the ease of drilling.
Another patented feature of the DareDevil is the contoured paddle. This wave-like shape speeds up chip removal, adding to the speed of the bit. The combination of these two features creates astonishing results. In independent testing, the DareDevil was 2.4x faster and required 53% less force than the Irwin Blue Groove*.

Q: We just bought a 4-month-old ferret. Her name is Grace, and she is awesome! I am getting a cockatoo (large, white parrot) soon for my husband's birthday. While I was shopping for a perch for the bird, I told the owner of the store that I had just brought home a ferret. She said I needed to get rid of the ferret or it would kill the bird. She also said it could kill my dog, which is a Shih Tzu. Are these claims true?
A: I have an umbrella cockatoo, dogs, cats, ferrets and more pets. That being said, the dogs generally steer clear of the cockatoo. The dachshund, bred for hunting, avoids the bird, and the German Shepherd loves the bird and even lets the bird groom him (never unsupervised).
The ferrets and the bird have never met, because they are never out at the same time. I would worry that the bird could hurt the ferret due to the ferret's curiosity and a parrot's need to defend itself from prey.
There is no reason different pets can't all learn to live in the same house, as long as safety rules are followed. Your ferret and cockatoo should never be out at the same time and the parrot's cage must be out of the ferret's reach. The dog must leave the parrot alone or risk getting hurt. I would not let them be together unsupervised, the same goes for the ferret and dog.
When the bird has time out of its cage on a stand or with the family, then the dog should be leashed and/or next to an adult. The dog can be taught to "leave it" when on leash or when the bird is in the cage and the dog gets too close. Remember, a cockatoo is a large parrot and can easily crack a nut with its beak, so injuring a ferret or dog would be no problem.

FAU Reception Held to Open Deadly Medicine Exhibition
BOCA RATON, Fla. (December 19, 2013) – The University Galleries at Florida Atlantic University recently held an opening reception for "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race," a traveling exhibition produced by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Paul Lombardo, Ph.D., professor at Georgia State University and contributor and consultant to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, provided an opening lecture, and music related to the theme of the Holocaust was performed by soprano Birgit Fioravante and pianist Heather Coltman, Dean of FAU's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters.
The traveling exhibition, which was generously underwritten at FAU by Marilyn and Jay Weinberg, will be on display in the Schmidt Center Gallery, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus through Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014 (closed for the holidays from Sunday, Dec. 22 through Monday, Jan. 6). Gallery hours are Tuesdays through Fridays, from 1 to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Through reproductions of photographs and documents, films and survivor testimony, "Deadly Medicine" traces how the persecution of groups deemed biologically inferior led to the near annihilation of European Jewry in the 20th century. It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection.
Lombardo's lecture focused on the early 20th century practice of Eugenics in the United States which sought to breed out those considered a burden on society. He discussed the 1927 case of Buck v. Bell which allowed states to forcibly sterilize residents in order to prevent "feebleminded and socially inadequate" people from having children. Lombardo has been featured on CNN, CBS, BBC, National Public Radio and elsewhere.
During the reception, Heather Coltman also introduced FAU's new university-wide Peace and Human Rights Initiative. The initiative is being sponsored in part with support from Lalita and Walter Janke.
"Deadly Medicine" is cosponsored by FAU's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education. The traveling exhibition is supported in part by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990. Group and class tours are welcome during public hours as well as at other times scheduled by appointment. To make an appointment for these tours or for a docent-led tour, please call 561-995-6773. Galleries exhibitions are sponsored by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. For more information, call 561-297-2661, email email@example.com or visit www.fau.edu/galleries.
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University, with an annual economic impact of $6.3 billion, serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. FAU is ranked as a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The University is placing special focus on the rapid development of three signature themes – marine and coastal issues, biotechnology and contemporary societal challenges – which provide opportunities for faculty and students to build upon FAU's existing strengths in research and scholarship.

Parsons grad Jen Kao is continually inspired by the contrast between architectural construction and fluid draping, which informs her design philosophy of "easy dramatics." Kao's affinity for experimenting with shape, detail, color and pattern has earned her raves, and her Anthropologie-exclusive collection, Mah Na Mah Na, is steeped in all of the above. This ponte pencil dress is one of our spring must-haves; the vibrant print and sleek shape look great with flat sandals and strappy platforms alike.

Hey, what are you doing---"I'm searching for a recipe to cook for dinner", or "I'm searching for a chocolate chip cookie recipe", is often heard in many households. Which one will you choose and will it be a good one is the big question! Well, providing you search on a reputable site such as Epicurious, Gourmet and a few others, including goodcooking.com, you will more than likely be happy with your selection.

Torrents became the new face of P2P sharing a long time ago, when services like Kazaa, Ares and LimeWire had already lived their peaks. From what started as an experimental platform, BitTorrent has today become the giant that can bring you almost anything – anywhere. Be it movies, games, software programs, music, e-books and comics and what not; it's hard to imagine not being able to find something in the torrent cloud. Most of the time, a missing item only means you're not looking in the right place.
To address this very thought, we've put together a list of these rather useful torrent search engines that you can utilize to locate your cherished torrents. The websites presented below are just the author's picks and are in no particular order. Continue reading after the break to find out more.
Best Torrent Search Engines #1. Torlock
A relatively fresh entrant to torrent search engine scenario, people running Torlock are serious about what they're doing. They claim to pay their users for identifying and reporting fake torrents to the community. While this is a highly beneficial service, my skepticism remains on the payment part (and I admit I haven't used it myself yet). Nevertheless, if you've been struck with fakes quite often, Torlock might be worth taking a look at.
Best Torrent Search Engines #2. Kickass Torrents
For regular downloaders, Kickass Torrents is nothing new. They established a reputation for their neat and tidy torrent search engine interface, easy to navigate website and an efficient comment system, identifying potentially fake and useless torrents with relative ease.
Best Torrent Search Engines #3. Demonoid
Demonoid is arguably the best private torrent search engine and community to come in existence to date. For one, you don't register for a Demonoid account yourself; you get invited. Then they take leeching very seriously, so if you're in a habit of downloading only and not uploading, rest assured that they won't keep you in very long.
Any torrent with Demonoid trackers is generally considered to be a good one.
Best Torrent Search Engines #4. CinemaTorrents
While I'm personally not a fan, CinemaTorrents does offer one thing that others don't, and that is the almost-entire IMDB built in. Go for a movie from CinemaTorrents and you'll get all the IMDB rating, plot and user reviews right alongside it. Highly useful for movie buffs, but their torrent database is rather limited.
Best Torrent Search Engines #5. Torrent Tree
While it isn't a torrent search engine per se, this is a first torrent metasearch engine in this list so far. With a clean interface and somewhat fancy Ajax coding, Torrent Tree pulls results from several other hosting websites and presents in one consolidated list. It also informs you of what site a torrent has been picked from, just in case that matters. Worth checking out.
Best Torrent Search Engines #6. Blues Brothers
Another private torrent search engine and community, they're not as strict as Demonoid but they have a rather unique way of dealing with leechers: donations. Your download/upload ratio falls below a certain level and you can rest assured that your account will get blocked until you donate. Unlike Demonoid, you can create an account here so that's one easy point. Torrent quality is also good.
Best Torrent Search Engines #7. isoHunt
One of the best known websites in torrent-world, isoHunt has established an almost unparalleled reputation for the diversity of torrents it hosts. Despite legal issues, they continue to provide quality service, and their dedicated community likes to keep things fake-free. One issue with isoHunt is the rather-prevalent adult advertising, but the torrent quality remains sound and torrent search engine superb.
Best Torrent Search Engines #8. Fenopy
Another torrent search engine boasting IMDB and last.fm integration, resultantly providing extensive information for discovering music and movies, combined with a rather catchy poster/graphic gallery. They offer a verified torrents section, so you may want to check that out, too.
Best Torrent Search Engines #9. Scrapetorrent
Scrapetorrent is yet another torrent metasearch engine that pulls results from various websites. They have a neat design and close-to-none advertisements. Their donation mechanism is rather unique, urging you to purchase Scrapetorrent merchandise (t-shirts, in particular) to support the website.
Best Torrent Search Engines #10. VCDQ
VCDQ, the last item on my list, is not a torrent host or metasearch engine, by definition. It's a community-driven project for verifying whether a torrent exists or not, especially for new movie releases. A torrent OK'd by VCDQ can be searched for on any metasearch engine.
This concludes my list for now. One point of clarification: my focus was mostly those torrent search engines that are perhaps not-as-well-known but still very useful. I skipped the most popular websites, but I'd recommend you check out these as well.
- Torrentz.com – another torrent search engine that combs through numerous popular websites and pulls out the results
- Piratebay – one of the most controversial and largest torrent search engine. You can find almost anything here – literally.
- Eztv.it – the best resource for TV shows, series and seasons. Must visit if you're a TV show enthusiast.

text: I was messing around in one of the CTF servers the other night and snagged a pretty nasty M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL. I made sure to protect my team mate carrying the flag, merc'd a couple baddies in our base, then rushed over to the rocket launcher and proceeded to run past everyone on their team and go directly into their base to launch a million missiles of madness right towards their spawn points and decimate them brutally. It was quite satisfying, so I snipped it out of the demo for your viewing pleasure, and perhaps to convince you to download ZDaemon :P

Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he had played on as a child, Frank Gehry created this thoroughly original collection of bentwood chair and table designs. Gehry's architecture draws its strength from the sculptural approach with which he has expanded the vocabulary of buildings. Bringing this same approach to furniture, Gehry constructed the entire collection with interwoven strips of maple. The ribbon-like designs transcend the conventions of style by focusing, as the great modernists did, on the essential challenge of deriving form from function.

Indiana Jones LEGO Store Display
Since it's very unlikely that the tank would be done for the Indiana Jones sets, I tried to do my version of it based from pics that I found in the book From Star Wars To Indiana Jones. Now it's on display in the LEGO store at Bridgewater Mall in New Jersey and thus far, customers have been asking when it will be available for orders.
