Random Snippets
Of course the fun came when the tower became the target of flying stuffed animals. If only tearing down our own monuments was so easy.

Salsa Dancing
At dinner, we passed around the bowls filled with various makings for the tacos. Like most nights, we had cooked our own food, preparing for when society was re-entered. Each took their portion, leaving some for the next.
When at last the salsa made its round, one young man poured it all upon his plate and then passed the empty jar. When he refused to share, I told him I would have to portion it out. As I reached across the table, his fork slashed out like a striking snake. In the nick of time, my hand pulled back.
My eyes lifting to meet his, found his plate of food on it's way. Salsa flooded into my eyes, burning, clouding them from the incoming jar that had become a missile. Off my forehead, it crashed to the ground. Over the table, I met him with a bear hug and held on until help could arrive.
Life can seem so out of control at times. While there are some things we can control, there is much that we can not. Coming to grips with this is a battle, as we struggle with what we feel entitled to and go to great lengths to get our way, blurring the lines between what we want and what we need. The need to control makes us do things we never thought we would. Our faith seems to be greater in our own effort to hold things together. At least that is something I have to fight inside myself, daily.

Head in hands, he sat mute, staring at the depths of the waiting room floor. How did he find himself at the courthouse? How had it gotten to this point? He shared of his family and how his wife was trying to keep him from his little girl. Oh how he desired to see her. Today a judge would decide.
His mother sat next to him. Her despair written on her face. Her maternal instincts set on preservation of this shattered family. She wondered what would tear them apart. Who would be so vicious.
Their stories plucked my heart, playing a sorrowful dirge. Wishing them well, I roamed to another waiting room in search of my acquaintances.
Down the hall, another room with flickering florescent. The only colors contrasting the drab decor, purple and blue that painted her face. She sat crying. Her mother had accompanied her as well and tinkled the chin of a swaddled baby. Through her tears she told of nights filled with terror. Blows rained upon her fragile form and a desperate attempt at escape. Today a judge could grant that freedom.
The pitch of the music changed, my heart sick. What could I offer, in silence I pondered.
Each story, a reflection of the same light traveling through a prism. As I looked at each facet, the light changed to reflect the view of the story teller. Having only heard one, without looking through another, how my opinion would be different. Even my own lens of experience, changes the view.
Through what prism will you view?
Anyway, back to the Peeps. They really are scary things. Peeps, it seems, colonized our planet in an effort to escape the ammonia rich environment on Venus, at least that is what scientists Scully and Mulder shared back in 1996. There is an abundance of scientific research on these invaders.
Tried to set one on fire once. Animal rights groups are probably cringing, but lets face it they are sugar and oxygen mostly. I rather like my oxygen, unsweetened. The way we take care of our oxygen around here, they will most likely have to move on to another planet soon enough. Wonder where they will go next?
Keep an eye on these pesky critters. When they start to disappear, you may want to start considering real estate somewhere outside our atmosphere. Or maybe we could just stop treating our planet like a trash dump.

Easter Eggs
There eyes wide with wonder, six fearless adventurers took off around the house. The obvious treasures were gobbled up quickly as the real search began for the elusive few remaining eggs.
On the window sill, only slightly above their wandering eyes sits a bright blue. From the crook of the tree peaks a marvelous yellow.
Cole stands over the lid to the well house, ready to drop the eight feet down into the gloomy shadows in search of booty. Others walk ever shrinking circles of desperation. Right here, a finger points, smiles return as they run in glee to capture yet another.
We are all searching for something, yet sometimes we make it harder than it really is. Our eyes easily skip over what is right before them, thinking it can not be that easy. Sometimes it takes another to point it out for the scales to fall from our eyes. Or seeing what is just out of reach, we declare it is too much and sit with basket in hand.
I feel that way at times. More recently as I am job hunting. I have been blessed with an amazing part time job, but it still keeps me from my family more than I would like. Still chasing my Easter Egg.
What is it that you are searching for?

"When picking up chicks, be gentle, but firm so they do not slip through your fingers. They are soft to pet, but can peck pretty hard. Hold them close to your chest, they like to hear your heart."
"I know how to do it dad!", then his focus shifted from chickens, "Besides, girls give you cootie pocks!"
"What pray tell are cootie pocks?"
"When a kiss spreads all over your entire body! It's gross!"
Well, some lessons will have to wait until he gets a little older. For now we'll settle for making sure the chicks are still alive when they get back in the tub. Happy Spring!

Came across this the other day. It was like a little treasure I had misplaced and found again hiding in the dark recesses behind the couch. Got me to thinking and so thought I would share. Peace.

The smallest of the family, who had just a few minutes ago been bouncing off the walls, said "Hands and feet. Without them I could not do a lot."
His brothers and sisters laughed, picked on him, thinking he was joking around. When it got to me, I echoed his prayer. For me it was a gentle reminder, sometimes it is the most simple things we can take for granted.
What are you thankful for today?

Yesterday, I went to lunch with Logan. I try to do that at least once a month, and it is typically a blast because they let me stick around for recess. I almost had that privilege taken away.
When I was in elementary school, we had a principal, Mr. Garber. He loomed over us, tall and skinny with fingers like daggers. He must have been raised by ninjas, because you would never hear him coming, before his long, bony finger shot into your collar bone. Like the Vulcan nerve pinch, he would completely incapacitate the most wily adversary. At that point it was too late and "mercy" and "uncle" would not alleviate the suffering. You did not play around in the cafeteria.
Lunch yesterday was chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, green beans and an orange. After consuming everything, in an attempt to influence our young in the way or veggies (especially after yesterday's blog), I began to eat my orange. Oranges can be fun, because you can make teeth out of them. Always good for a laugh.
It became like a virus, kids three tables over saw me, laughed and proceeded to make teeth themselves. Hapless cafeteria workers tried to staunch the revolt, but were thwarted when one ingenious child decided to stick a whole orange in his mouth. If it was funny going in, it was fall in the floor hilarious trying to get it out. Hundreds of kids joined the uprising, as I came to the realisation I was doomed and began to flinch at the memory of those fingers.
I got busted by a stoolie at my table and had to apologize. Luckily, the cafeteria lady showed mercy and I was allowed to play on the playground.
Influence is a funny thing, you don't have to do a whole lot to use. Each of us influence many each day, without even thinking about it. Maybe it is the lack of thinking about it, that leads us into these situations, where we wonder how it ever got to this point. Oh well, better go as I have to write "I will not not play in the cafeteria", 100 times before lunch.

The Great Veggie War
"You must try everything on your plate!"
The call to arms was raised, as scouts peered across the expansive battlefield that was the dinner table. They are good for you, what sinister propaganda of the parental machine. If they were good for us, why did they taste so bad and cause our stomachs to evict their foulness in putrid streams of bile?
We constantly devised plans to thwart the veggie loving army and elude their consumption. My brother, in one attempt, dumped pepper on his mashed potatoes until they become gray. Tears running down his face, we gasped for oxygen, laughing as he was made to eat them.
Cheaking the veggies and asking to go to the bathroom would not work. Dogs and cats turned up their noses at collaborative consumption. Accidentally dropping your plate off the table may work once, by you only avoided your fate for a night. It was a lonely place, in exile with a plate of beats, hoping that the tea was strong enough to wash the taste from our mouths.
Trying everything was defined as a spoonful, and my eventual victory came in measuring a spoonful of limas and then taking them one at a time like pills, washing them whole into my gullet. Hoping they would not germinate and eat me from the inside.
I have finally succumbed to the mind control, as vegetables do not hold sway over my taste buds anymore. I rather enjoy them, except the lima beans. Permanent scarring on the palette still causes retching at the mere smell. Children...there is no hope in defiance...resistance is futile...the vegetables will win!
Heroes Everyday
"Don't leave that dirty uniform lying on the ground!", called Wonder Woman.
"That's okay, I'll get it cleaned up in a jiff, as soon as I finish cutting the grass.", Flash blurted out as he zipped through, a streak of red left in his wake.
As I sit and listen to my boys playing superheroes, I wonder...I never remember playing with them this way, capturing the moments in between the daring rescues, the mundane that even superheroes must endure. It gives me a chuckle just to listen to the dialogue, as someone uses their super strength to take out the trash.
I guess with most heroes there are thousands of moments that lead up to that one shining moment when they are needed. Or maybe it is in those thousands of mundane moments that we are the true heroes and paving the way for our sidekicks as they grow up.

Reading the newspaper the other day, maybe for some encouragement, right? Everything going on is so much fun. Then I stumbled upon this...
Congress Huddles on College Football...seems that since schools accept state and federal dollars, the federal government is getting involved in college football playoffs. Before you get on the Democrat big government bandwagon, it is co-sponsored by a Republican. Does not list who the sponsor of the bill is, but it would require that they drop the term "National Champion" or face penalties. Another bill would withhold federal funds from colleges that do not participate in a playoff system.
Is it just me or should the flag be thrown and 10 yards assessed for walking around the field aimlessly? Where are our priorities?

Post your Final Four, Final Two, Champion and score of the final game. Winner gets a book out of my amazing book collection. I'll tailor the prize to the winner.
Good luck all!
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise
~Aerosmith, Living on the Edge
The other day I was playing hide and seek with the boys and having used up all the typical places, decided to have a little fun. A couple pieces of large cardboard, laying around from an art project, draped nicely over maybe a third of me as I placed myself in the center of the living room. Giggles forewarned me of the impending pounce, mere seconds before Cole crashed into me.
"How did you ever find me?", I inquired with a big smile.
"X-ray vision. I can see right through things."
"Really, what do you see when you look at me.", I played along.
"I see you. Your hair and clothes."
I did not have the heart to tell him that it did not take X-ray vision to see that. But I guess it takes quite a bit to see beyond the externals when our eyes fall upon another.
I was quite challenged by @markbatterson the other day, when he was talking about Brennan Manning's new book and quoted, "The Father not only loves you, he likes you." What a different perspective it must take...

Top 10
Friday, March 13, 2009
Precursor to modern day "reality television" we set up tape recorders and cameras to capture the intruders from the mystical realm. Sounds played back, kept our imaginations running wild, any attempts at sleep banished.
As I grew older, these pursuits lost interest, buried in the recesses of my mind. Once though, they crashed back into the realm of possibility. My cousin stayed over at the house, we were up most of the night playing Tecmo Bowl. He had gone into the front of the house to get a soda, when I heard a female voice call my name beckoning me to come to the front of the house. Halfway down the hall I met my cousin, who had heard a similar call for him. A quick search of the house for mischievious friends, came up naught. We never came up with an explanation, just a renewed fascination in what goes bump in the night.
Happy Friday the 13th! Any ghost stories you would like to share?

Animal: Cat vs. Alligator
She was born in a wood pile, found by a real estate customer of mine, and given to me. Miko, our cat, has been with us over 10 years now. She has slowed down a bit, but always keeps life interesting. She seemed to have the most fun when we lived in Florida. Chasing all the lizards for fun and a snack and exploring around the lake, until...
One day she was there, the next day she was gone. We searched high and low for her, asking neighbors, who were familiar with her antics. Climbing the screens on their porches to get on their roof, was a favorite exercise. This was heart breaking to my wife, who is a cat person, but as the days went on our attention changed to our first son, who was born two months later. Our hope of seeing Miko again was lost.
Logan's first week home from the hospital, we heard a soft meow from the backyard. Surprised, we went to see whose cat had stopped by to visit. It was Miko. She was skin and bones and had long gashes down both her back legs. Taking her to the vet, we found she had been a victim of alligator attack.
Ever year, we would get a gator or two visiting the lake and have to get the local croc hunter to come remove him. Many a day I watched kids playing in the lake, waiting... Miko was probably taking a quick drink when the gnashing jaws crashed out of the water, her leap not quite fast enough she escaped, but with a permanent reminder. She probably holed up to gain strength those two months, living on bugs or mice.
She has been with us many years, and several moves, since then. Now she is more like a mother to the boys, sleeping on their bed, following them around to keep and eye on them. The hair still does not grow on the scars that tattoo her back legs, memories of her past adventures.
Almost there
"You are almost there.", they encouraged us as we met them, sitting on a bench, by the last incline before the farm.
He was retired, she a simple bus driver. Together, they were happy. They had been coming here for years, discovering new things with each trip. About the land, about life, about love.
They take more rests along the way, sitting by each others side. Each moment captured, the life wrestled out of it. They spoke to everyone they saw, or would give them the time. Watching them stare out into the valleys, I wondered what they saw with wisened eyes.
I feel there is much we could learn from those sitting by the side of the path.

Colors of Creation
a. Logan creating a panorama of color on grandma and granddaddy's steps for when they return.
b. If there is any particular color in creation he was wearing it. We met at the food court @ the mall in Roanoke. Definite personality, inside and out.
Care taken in the creation of each. Each with unique finger prints upon them, reflecting their creator. Who would tell them otherwise?

I was once young and dumb, now I am not quite so young. Reading Jon's words in Lynchburg Living this month got me thinking back over my life and some of the times I came close to the edge. There were times when that seemed the point of adolescence, to see how close we could come without taking the fall, or at least one not too high.
Back in high school, One night I was hanging out with my cousin, with nothing to do but wait for our friend Chappy to arrive. I don't know if we had watched one too many westerns with stagecoach robberies or played off our internal drive to be misfits, but we got the bright idea that we would ambush him as he came up the road.
This was a pretty easy task as my cousin lived down a gravel road that wound through the woods to the top of a hill. An expanse of trees created a bubble of solitude from the neighbors and a canvas to paint our adventures on.
We crept through the woods until we found the perfect spot, only one neighbor between us and his house, and they seemed to be in for the night. The thing about gravel roads, you can hear people coming for miles. Gravels crunching was our starter pistol and we pulled dead trees across the road to impede his progress.
Slinking back into the shadows, our hearts beat like bass drums threatening to give us away. When the car came to a stop, those drums nearly stopped. It was not Chappy. The man unfolded himself from the car, looked at the barricade and pulled his pistol from beneath his seat.
"Come out now!", maybe he thought we were crazy enough to be target practice.
Dry sweat flooded out of my pores, as I wondered how long I could hold my breath. Barely twenty feet of trees separated us from certain doom. We dare not move or make a noise. After what seemed like an eternity, the man removed the branches and went on to the neighbor's house. What once was fun, had turned into a nightmare. I don't remember much else about that night, memory lost to the overriding fear.
I am unsure the statute of limitations on getting a whooping from your parents, but expect to find out next time I see them. I was once young and dumb, now I am not quite so young and maybe a little wiser.

Glass...a response (guest blog)
I read your blog on Love and this is what came out. Love Lies. Not in the bad sense. Love Lies Down Before Me. That was the sentiment.
In Between by Vagabond King
Love Lies
Love Lies
Love Lies
To Me.
When you've got a lot to say.
And all the words get in the way.
Is the price too high to pay?
When you don't know where you stand.
When you hold a broken hand.
Will you give it all back again?
Do you hear me when I cry?
Do you know the reasons why?
Did you think of me tonight?
Will you wonder where I am?
Will you wonder who I'm with?
Will you wonder what I did?
Love Lies
Love Lies
Love Lies
To Me.
Where there is You.
There is just Me.
Between us is Everything.
In Between.
mentally kicking myself for not stopping, i try to run the calculations in my head. how far back was the last gas station, how far forward until the next? when was the last time i saw a car on this road? would they stop for me? would i want them to? is it too far to walk? if i cut through the woods, what lives there? do i go forward or back?
but alas, i made it to the next stop. what was sheer terror a few minutes ago is now forgotten. full of fuel i am ready to continue forward. how often we let our fear of the unknown overtake us and keep us rooted in or place, neither reaching forward or back, stuck. a sad life indeed, never reaching our destination.

He could see daylight ahead in the distance, he was almost home free. His heart raced, only so much faster than his pursuers. Not daring to look over his shoulder, he pulled on all his reserves to make the last sprint.
Seconds later, my cousin lay bloody and broken among the shards of glass, all that was left of the sliding door. He never saw it coming as he smashed through on his way out of the house, during a game of tag.
Love can be like that, sneak up on you when you least expect it and then leave you broken and bloody. Long after the shards of glass have been picked up and removed, there is that sliver still stuck in you, making it's way from your hands to your head, and ultimately to your heart. That sliver cuts like a surgeons knife though nerve ending, separating you from feeling to stop the pain. Making you wary of love and what it has to offer.
I have been there. After high school, I found my heart ripped out, stepped on and spray painted black. I think the spray paint was just for spite, lol. I wandered for years, feeling little, promising myself I would never give myself away again. It was not worth it. I could get what I wanted and then slip away like a thief in the night, leaving the pain for someone else to deal with.
Through those three years, as much as I was protecting my heart, it was filled with unmet longings. I was searching for something to make me whole again, something to make me feel again. I tried to find that "missing piece" in many ways, but left with bloated tongue, I thirsted still. Then I met me wife. And then I found God again.
It's alright to be afraid, David, because this part won't be like a comic book. Real life doesn't fit into little boxes that were drawn for it. ~Mr. Glass (Unbreakable)
Life does not fit into neat little boxes, and neither will your heart. What once started as protection, becomes the parasite, sucking the life out of your heart. We have to remove the splinter of glass and stop listening to the lies it tells. If you love again, will it hurt? Yes, it does sometimes. I have found though, that love is greater than a few shards of broken glass.

Christmas Redux
Snow ball fights, reminiscent of landings on the beach during the great wars, left us with rosy cheeks and a few bruises. We followed the trail of snow monsters, in search of their lair. Sledding and snow boarding, filled our hearts with glee until we collapsed panting on the cushion of white.
Johnny Bob joined our family today, although he'll probably only stick around for a day or two. He has an aversion to the sun. There is just something about the snow that gives everything a freshness, as if you are seeing it for the first time or in it's pure form.
Don't mind the date, my camera was acting up and until I get the cord for the Mac, I am stuck posting at the library and can't edit the pix.
The fear I had though was that someone would come along, at an inopportune time, and pull a shade that was an exterior wall, thus exposing whatever was going on inside the house. Maybe I was feeling guilty that day, thus exposing my faults, or maybe it was my failure at the LGN diet coming back to haunt me.
In life, the shades rarely stay down and sooner or later, what has been hidden gets exposed. The attempt at keeping them hidden, only compounds the stress when we eventually have to deal with our issues. I have found that having a group of people you trust, that will come alongside you, is essential in life. Who do you allow to see behind the curtain, in your life?

Yes Man
Along the way, Carl learns several important things. The power in saying Yes, is found in embracing new experiences. We miss out on a lot of life by saying "No" or believing that we are not good enough to accomplish something, or that we have nothing to give. On the other hand, Carl realises that you can not say yes to everything. Relationships lose their specialness and little time is left for the important things.
I have found that when you say "yes" to one thing, you are saying "no" to another. In other words, you are choosing to place the importance of one activity over another. There are many good things we need need to say "no" to so we can be great at what is really important in our lives. At the same time, we don't need to let our disbelief in ourselves limit what we choose to attempt.

Moist, fudgy 110 calorie chocolate muffins filled with juicy cherries. You won't miss all the calories and fat, trust me!
Fact: I accidentally typed "Skinny Chocolate Cheery Muffins" as the title of this post. I think I've had… no, wait… I've definitely had too much chocolate recently.
You're looking at batch #2 of chocolate cherry muffins here. Batch #1 was baked early in the morning the day this happened. I'm sure you can imagine the results. Tasty.
The flood was actually a blessing in disguise. Though dealing with the renter's insurance company has been a huge pain, the flood gave me a chance to clean some things out, decorate a new apartment, and bake an even better batch of these muffins.
You're absolutely going to love them.
So um, did you get that? 110 calories. That is not a typo. How can it be? Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.
You'll be very impressed that a low calorie muffin can taste this good.
Today's recipe is actually based off of my popular Skinny Double Chocolate Muffins. Those were voted in the top three favorite muffins of 2013. They're moist, flavorful, fudgy, and surprisingly skinny. You love them and today's muffins are no different.
So how can they be so low in calories, yet so rich in flavor? Easy. You're going to need a few all-star, magical ingredients. First, applesauce. Unsweetened applesauce takes the place of any oil or butter in this muffin recipe. It keeps the muffins moist for very little calories. You'll also need Greek yogurt. Or what I like to call "the powerhouse ingredient." For little calories, a ton of protein, and lots of moisture – Greek yogurt is a miraculous ingredient to use in lightened-up recipes.
All of their chocolate flavor? That comes from cocoa powder. Just enough to give the muffins a strong chocolate taste, but not too much to dry them out. There's also whole wheat flour in the muffin recipe too. Yup, this recipe is a major WIN all around. Sweetening the muffins is some sugar and honey. I tried to reduce the refined sugar to the minimum amount possible, while still producing a muffin that actually tastes good. And does not taste like cardboard or mulch. I reduced the sugar from 1/2 cup in the first batch to 1/3 cup in the second batch. Still perfectly sweet.
The juicy cherries also do a fine job sweetening each bite. I used fresh dark sweet cherries, though frozen would be just fine instead. Whatever's easiest for you.
Here's the calorie breakdown if you're curious:
All of that divided by 12 = 110.
The tops of the muffins are sprinkled with a couple chocolate chips each. Those are completely optional, but let's face it, a little extra chocolate chip never hurt anyone… right? I ate 4 of these muffins over the course of the day yesterday. In my defense, running and chocolate (and umm…baking and gossip magazines) are my stress relievers OK? Usually the chocolate comes in large quantities after the run. Life's all about balance.
I froze a couple of these muffins for breakfast in the coming weeks and I have a feeling a fresh batch will be in high demand often because Kevin loved them too.

A jam-packed NBA season is finally nearing its end, and the veteran Boston Celtics ball club may well be feeling the pain of this intense season.
Or are they?
The Celtics are winning basketball games at the right time, building momentum that tops that of most other teams in the league as of late. In spite of the work put into this winning stretch, there is no reason for Boston to take its foot off of the gas.
Since the All-Star break, the Boston Celtics are 17-7, boasting wins over LeBron James and the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers and at both the Los Angeles Clippers and Indiana Pacers. Rajon Rondo has lead the troops during the run, boasting 17 consecutive games with at least 10 assists.
Talk about impressive.
These are the five reasons why the Celtics stretch run will not take a toll on their chances to come home with an NBA championship in 2012.

Norma Rae (1979)
Plot Summary
Norma Rae is a southern textile worker employed in a factory with intolerable working conditions. This concern about the situation gives her the gumption to be the key associate to a visiting labor union organizer. Together, they undertake the difficult, and possibly dangerous, struggle to unionize her factory.- Written by Kenneth Chisholm <email@example.com>
Norma Rae is a lively, but dependable, wife and mother in an Alabama mill town. Like her father, her mother and most of her friends, she works at the Henley mill, spinning and weaving cloth as the days go by without much apparent purpose. Her "nothing special" life changes when she and her coworkers meet Reuben, a dedicated, smart-mouthed labor organizer down from New York to teach the Henley crew about solidarity in a place where workers and owners alike think "union" and "trouble" are synonymous.- Written by Mike Rogers <email@example.com>
A young single mother and textile worker agrees to help unionize her mill despite the problems and dangers involved.- Written by Kenneth Chisholm

Desktop-replacement laptops don't necessarily need to be the size of a headstone. The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5536 has more sensible proportions that most models. In fact, it's essentially a smaller version of the recently reviewed 16-inch Aspire 6530. The configuration of the Acer Aspire 5536 that we reviewed, the 5536-643G50Mn, is better value than the recently reviewed 6530-623G25Mn. It's smaller and lighter but similarly specified. The keyboard is much more comfortable too, making this a laptop that's well worth a look if portability is only an occasional concern

As the reader comments in any netbook review will tell you, it's possible to buy a fully-fledged laptop for the same price as some Intel Atom-powered portables. Such complaints miss the point a little — netbooks have never been about performance, but about providing go-anywhere access to basic applications that would otherwise require an expensive ultraportable — but not completely. The question is if you've only got £400 to spend on a portable and don't fancy a netbook, what kid of laptop can you buy? A good — andf good-looking — budget option for a big screen laptop.

This Acer Aspire is a stunningly usable entry-level media centre that is truly hard to fault. Despite its limited performance, the Aspire 5536-643G50Mn is stunning value for money. Its stylish design, vibrant widescreen panel, impressive specification and great usability make it hard to fault. At such a low price, this is a truly fantastic laptop for the home or office.

The Acer 5536 is a conspicuously designed laptop, with a tasteful blue exterior, shiny lights and a curved case that feels reassuringly solid. The glossy CineCrystal display is eye-catching too, and feels bigger than 15.6in. You'd never guess this is such a cheap laptop. A cheap and cheerful desktop replacement that cuts acceptable corners to hit the low price

Acer needs to do something about its Aspire laptop naming scheme; it's not exactly intuitive to go into a shop and ask for a 5536-744G50Mn! Nevertheless, based on previous efforts such as the award-winning Aspire 7735Z-424G32Mn we're hoping for good things from this well-specified, AMD-based 15.6in machine. A jack of all trades but master of none, Acer's Aspire 5536-744G50Mn is worth considering if you're after a budget laptop, but depending on your needs the competition may offer better alternatives.

Alice Boland, the 28-year-old Beaufort woman arrested on suspicion of trying to kill an Ashley Hall school official, has been indicted on four federal charges, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles.
Boland is charged with making a false statement in order to purchase a firearm, illegally possessing a firearm because of her status as a person who had been committed to a mental institution or who had been adjudicated as mentally incompetent, possession of a firearm in a school zone and attempted discharge of a firearm in a school zone.
If convicted of all four charges, Boland would face up to 30 years behind bars.
The first two counts each carry up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of probation. The second two each carry up to five years in prison, a $100,000 fine and a year of probation.
Boland was arrested Feb. 4 after the Charleston Police Department said she pointed a .22-caliber pistol at an administrator at the downtown private school and pulled the trigger. The gun didn't fire because no round had been loaded into the chamber.
She also pointed it at a teacher, the police said.
She had faced state charges of attempted murder and pointing a firearm, among other counts.
Authorities said she bought the Taurus PT22 pistol three days earlier at Walterboro Gun Shop despite her history of mental illness.
Federal authorities had said that there was nothing illegal about the purchase even though a questionnaire for buying the gun asks whether the buyer had ever been involuntarily committed to a mental institution. In 2005, Boland was forcefully treated for schizophrenia after Secret Service agents said she threatened to kill the president.
Despite not bringing initial charges, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated Boland's gun purchase and turned over their findings to Nettles' office, which presented it to a grand jury.
Nettles announced the grand jury's indictment this morning.
Reached today, ATF spokesman Earl Woodham and a spokeswoman for Nettles, Beth Drake, both declined to discuss the inconsistencies between the indictment and the earlier statements by the ATF.
Because of the Boland case, legislation has been introduced on both state and federal levels that lawmakers said would bolster the national database for firearms background checks in order to prevent the mentally ill from buying a gun in the first place.

At Silver Fox we provide the customer, you, with the best service and prices we can offer in plumbing, heating, and air conditioning. We are family owned and operated in Gilbert Arizona and have been servicing the entire valley for over 10+ years! It is our goal to give everyone the best in customer service and workmanship. That is why we have been rated the best of Kudzu for the years 2012 and 2013 and have over 190 five star reviews! Emergencies dont take the nights and weekends off and neither do we, call us 365 days a year 24 hours a day to get one of our Certified technicians out! Go with the best and flush the rest!

As a resident in Arizona there's nothing that has to be said for how important it is to have a working AC Unit in the summer time. My property management company used Silver Fox for the emergency service request I had to submit after running the A/C at 74 degrees for 12 hours straight yet the temperature steady rose from 79 to 84 degrees. The tech that came to our house was professional, polite, and to be honest just a real genuine person. His name was Anthony T. and he not only took to the time to update us when we were waiting for approval from the property management company, but he also got to work right away as soon as approval was given to him. Most importantly to add in my opinion is the fact that he also took the time to engage in meaningful conversation with me as he resolved our A/C unit issue promptly. Techs don't have to be nice, they don't have to engage in anything outside of what they're there to do which is their job. He's gets a Five Star review because of everything I mentioned above, hands down some of the best service I've received as a consumer in my life time. Give the man a raise!!

Silver Fox came out and repaired our A/C unit by replacing the appropriate part and did it in under an hour! They showed the SAME day literally in under two hours after the request was called in!

I was in a pinch, and they saved the day. I had a great experience with the owners (Brian & William) of Silver Fox, and the technician (Michael) was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. They worked overtime to get my job done on schedule. I'd recommend Silver Fox freely to any one in need of A/C work in the Valley.

We have used Silver Fox twice in 2016. Both experiences were top notch. The dispatchers were very accommodating and polite. In one instance they rearranged their busy schedule to ensure same day service was provided. For the second instance a service person was dispatched within 2 hours of my 10:00 PM call. Each instance was serviced by different service technicians. Both technicians were polite with a high level of experience. Additionally there was no "up sell" pressure for services or parts. They quickly diagnosed both issues and a reasonable service charge was applied. Our A/C units are very old and I expect replacement is imminent. I will certainly use Silver Fox in future and when the time comes for replacement units. I highly recommend this company.

Our main AC unit stopped blowing cold air - and it is a 107 today AND as luck would have it it's a Saturday. The team at Silver Fox responded immediately sending their technician Bobby Harmon within an hour. Bobby's attitude and attention to detail were fantastic. He gave us some options, double checked our service contract and worked with our Home Warranty company to ensure we were totally satisfied. Well beyond my expectations. Thanks Bobby. Highly recommend Silver Fox especially when you need things fixed right away and that goes for the whole team in the office and of course Fred who has also given us excellent service in the past as well. SF are listed for emergency service AND they deliver Steve P in Fountain Hills, AZ

I called Silver Fox to fix a leak at my kitchen sink. Bobby came at first, but didn't find the problem. Next, Mike came out to see what he could do and found the faucet was corroded and leaking sporadically. He replaced the faucet, and it's working great. Eric came out and did an annual inspection of my HVAC and found everything was in good repair (didn't even try to sell me something). Cara, the CSR I spoke to, was very nice, very accommodating, and worked within my schedule to get the techs out to my house. Cara, Bobby, Mike, and Eric all did a great job. I am a very happy customer and will definitely use Silver Fox again in the future!

Silver Fox sent a technician out within a days notice in the heat of summer and squeezed me in late in the day to take care of my problem. I had 3 different techs out to take care of a complicated job and they were all courteous, clean, & honest. I will definitely go back to them because I 100% trust they will do the right thing and not charge me for something I don't need. I'm writing this review as a huge THANK YOU for doing such a great job!!!

Silver Fox is very easy and pleasant to work with. The office had me scheduled for same day, the technician showed up on time. He was well mannered, clean, and efficient. He had the repair done same day, no return trips needed and he even left me coupons to use for next time. They were extremely reasonable in price, especially with the quality of work and service provided. Silver Fox has found themselves another life long customer. Thank you.

My water heater went out over the weekend after calling several plumbers Silver Fox gave me a quote over the phone and was at my house in less than an 1Hr. The technician Fred Nelson did a Professional Installation and cleaned up after himself. He also disposed of my old water heater. If I ever need any future plumbing needs I will definitely use Silver Fox

Daniel Boyd, Thank you for your review! The difference between Silver Fox and other plumbing/HVAC companies in the valley is that our technicians can generally get out to our customers within 1-2 hours! Even on the weekends and holidays. Our dedication to you(the customer) is incomparable! We are grateful to be your new exclusive plumber!

Large cabin with two portholes to look out of. View somewhat restricted by the portholes but still okay.
Excellent large en suite with plenty of space for the girls to put their stuff down, plus we had a bath as well.
Cabin very clean and functional, no fridge but the ice bucket was replenished twice daily.
Very comfortable cabin, one that you could stay in quite comfortably for a month or more if need be.

Eflora Cream
Eflora cream Puggle dogs are considered hybrids. Eflora cream This basically means they are a cross between two different purebreds. Eflora cream In the Puggle case, eflora cream this would be a Beagle and a Pug. Eflora cream The Puggle can also be referred to as a crossbreed, eflora cream even though this term can also refer to a mongrel - a dog that has only one known purebred in their genes.
Eflora cream Unlike mongrels or mutts that are usually the result of an unintentional crossbreed, eflora cream hybrid dogs breed, eflora cream whether they began as mutts or not, eflora cream is purposely bred to create a specific breed type. Eflora cream Hybrid dogs like the Puggle are known as "designer dogs". Eflora cream Designer dogs are popular hybrids that have been purposely created using two specific purebred dogs.
Eflora cream Of course, eflora cream not all "designer dogs" are bred for the purpose of suiting the latest fad. Eflora cream The Labradoodle is a good example of this. Eflora cream Unlike breeding a Beagle and Pug for fashion, eflora cream a Labrador and Standard Poodle were initially bred to create a hypoallergenic guide dog. Eflora cream In other words, eflora cream the original cross breeding that resulted in the Labradoodle was intentional, eflora cream and is still trying to be perfected so it can be recognized as a purebred dog.
Eflora cream Although most hybrids are selectively bred to create a breed that features all of the great characteristics of its two parents, eflora cream sometimes there is no actual thought process in the creation of such breeds. Eflora cream For instance, eflora cream although Puggle dogs are very sweet and sociable dogs, eflora cream they were bred for no other purpose than to be a family pet.
Eflora cream They are not hypoallergenic and they are still prone to Pug breathing problems, eflora cream which can be made worse because of their love for hunting that has been passed to them through their Beagle genes. Eflora cream For reasons such as this, eflora cream many purebred breeders argue that designer dog breeding is irresponsible.
Eflora cream Despite what some breeders may think, eflora cream the fact of the matter is that hybrid dogs are very popular, eflora cream and often make excellent family pets and generally tend to be very healthy and happy breeds.
Eflora cream It is also important to point out that a hybrid dog is not considered a "true breed" due to the fact that they don't have an official breed standard. Eflora cream For this reason, eflora cream they are not recognized by any national kennel club. Eflora cream In addition, eflora cream not being a true breed means that each Puggle litter produced will be different each time.
Eflora cream Nonetheless, eflora cream even though Puggle dogs may not have a "true" standard to their name, eflora cream the fact remains that this special hybrid is in high demand, eflora cream and is loved by many. Eflora cream After all, eflora cream who says a dog needs an official standard to be considered a great pal and a one-of-a-kind friend.

Designated AIDS Center wins state grant
SYRACUSE, N.Y. —The state Health Department has awarded a $662,500, five-year grant to the Designated AIDS Center (DAC) at Upstate Medical University to expand its capacity to provide hepatitis C care and treatment to patients who are co-infected with HIV and hepatitis C. The grant was awarded by the Health Department's AIDS Institute and Health Research Inc., which is supported by funding from the Ryan White Care Act. The DAC will use the funding to provide the patients with expanded hours of on-site services for mental health, alcohol/substance abuse, and nutrition counseling. These services are in addition to the DAC's medical care and social work services.
"Approximately 25 percent of our patients are co-infected with hepatitis C and approximately 60 percent of our patients have a mental health or substance use diagnosis or are mentally ill and chemically addicted," said Judith Rees, N.P., the center's program director.
"It is critical that our patients receive counseling to successfully adhere to their treatment programs. Better adherence leads to better health outcomes for patients, fewer hospitalizations and emergency room visits, the prevention of new HIV infections and a reduction of healthcare costs," she said.
The Designated AIDS Center provides HIV specialty and primary care to 863 adults and children in a 17-county region that covers 15,778 square miles. Upstate University Hospital has a full range of outpatient services available to people with HIV, including dental, ophthalmology, oncology, dermatology, and gynecology.

Passion Pit plays with childlike enthusiasm
There were more than a few moments during Passion Pit's show Thursday at the Riverside Theater when a jaundiced observer could wonder if the music was actually aimed at children.
Sure, the Massachusetts quintet began its performance around 10 p.m., but frontman Michael Angelakos exuded the manic energy of a kid who, just before bedtime, had gorged on all the candy he got trick-or-treating the previous night. »Read Full Article(2)

I hear from more and more people these days, "I'm not going to vote."
I've also heard, "I've never voted."
That's not only sad, it's pathetic.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not in favor of a bunch of voters who have no idea for whom or what they are casting their ballots pouring out to the polls to muck up the process - although I would regrettably defend their right to ignorantly pull the lever.
As a legal American citizen, or legal voting age, it is your right to vote your conscience.
As a matter of fact, it's not only your right, it's your responsibility to participate in this privileged process.
Men have died in foreign lands to protect that very right.
My brother-in-law stood guard at the polls in Iraq when the people of the country had their first opportunity in more than three decades to vote for new leadership in their country. He listened to one voter, proudly displaying their purple finger indicating they had voted, say they were willing to risk death to be heard. After being ruled by a dictator for 35 years, they couldn't explain the joy they felt in the gesture.
In some African countries, people journey by foot for days to vote.
Yet here in America, we sit on our couches, and don't want to miss Wheel of Fortune, so we pass on the opportunity to be heard.
Perhaps even more frustrating are those who sit around and complain after not bothering to vote.
I don't care who you vote for. I hope you take the time to learn about the candidate choices and the options available to you. We at the paper have done our best to provide you with information to help you make an informed decision based on your philosophical beliefs. Then take the time, on Tuesday, to visit the polls and be heard.
This is a tremendously important election for both major political parties. Every vote matters. Don't miss your chance to make a difference.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is holding out hope striker Sergio Aguero will be available for selection on Sunday as the club opens the Premier League campaign against Newcastle United.
Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News reports the veteran boss was previously pessimistic about the odds of the Argentine star playing as he continues to recover from a groin injury. Yet, he kept the door open with two days until the season kicks off:
Pellegrini said last week Aguero needed 'two or three weeks'. But he refused to rule him out for Newcastle. Will make decision on Sunday.— Rob Dawson (@RobDawsonMEN) August 15, 2014
Obviously, it wouldn't be a surprise if City decide to play it safe on Sunday and keep him on the bench. It's too early in the season to take any risks. That said, the fact he hasn't been ruled out at least shows he's made progress toward a return.
Aguero was one of the league's most efficient strikers last season. He scored 17 goals and tallied six assists in 23 appearances. He figures to play a prominent role on the attack once again. City don't want to put him in danger of a longer absence.
Should Aguero play the opener against Newcastle?
The status update comes one day after the club announced a new five-year contract extension for the 26-year-old sensation on its official site.
The release included comments from the dynamic attacker, who pointed toward a bright future:
This club is special; the fans, the stadium, the staff, the atmosphere, the new facility we're moving into—everything. We have enjoyed lots of success and some incredible moments but the overall vision for the future and where we are going are the reasons why I wanted to stay here, to win trophies and to keep making history through my best years.
Jake Cohen of Law In Sport notes the deal will also give City some added financial flexibility:
Sergio Aguero's new deal reduces annual FFP hit from £16.1m to £11.2m. Great business by MCFC to not only lock Aguero up, but also save £.— Jake Cohen (@JakeFCohen) August 14, 2014
With the new deal in place, the only lingering question is when he'll make his first appearance of the new season. Even though Pellegrini wasn't ready to rule him out quite yet, it would still be at least a minor surprise to see him play on Sunday.
More likely, the Sky Blues will probably give him another week to rest and recover before sliding him back into the lineup for a high-profile clash with Liverpool. It's always better to be safe than sorry with so many matches on the horizon.

In this special series to mark the first issue of 2003, Bio·IT World profiles 10 life science organizations — spanning a range of cultures, philosophies, and locations — that are implementing IT in exciting and innovative ways. Of the hundreds of organizations we could have selected from, these 10 examples appear to us particularly noteworthy.
Among the big pharmas, Eli Lilly is often singled out for its forward-looking approach to IT implementation. Another pharmaceutical titan, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, is establishing a major new research center in Cambridge, Mass., where it hopes the functional genomics unit will replenish its drug pipeline. While Novartis is expanding, ArQule faces the huge challenge of sustaining its progressive IT platform in the face of sharp cutbacks in staff.
Hardware is an essential component of many bio-IT innovators. BioNumerik is developing cancer drugs with the help of two Cray supercomputers, while Perlegen Sciences is pushing the storage envelope to manage the production of terabytes of image data every week.
On the software side, the Hartwell Center at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., is a good example of the role of academia in developing leading software tools, in this case to aid the molecular profiling of cancers. In London, Inpharmatica is using state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools developed by Professor Janet Thornton's group to uncover protein families and aid drug discovery.
In the clinical arena, Quintiles — the world's largest contract research organization — is grappling with electronic data capture to speed up clinical trials. ILEX Oncology illustrates how a drug discovery concern can build its own information management system to aid the implementation and running of clinical trials. And north of the border, the Canadian Public Health Information System is making progress toward complete electronic health record surveillance — a harbinger of things to come States-side, perhaps.
We fully recognize that many more cases of bio-IT innovation warrant similar attention and exposure, which is why Bio·IT World is proudly launching its inaugural "Best Practices" awards program to showcase the most creative and valuable implementation of technology in the fields of drug discovery, drug development, and clinical trials. We encourage your organization to take part — full details can be found at www.bio-itworld.com/bestpractices.PHOTO CHARLY FRANKLIN/TAXI

Now that we are down to the Final Four, scouts have their eyes focused in. They are all concentrating on which players are going to be the real deal at the next level.
This tournament has turned out many down to the wire games. Fortunately for NBA scouts, future pros like Derrick Williams and Brandon Knight have shined when it mattered.
The common rule of thumb is that early round exits hurt a players stock, while deep runs into the Final Four will certainly move them up the board.
Case and point for early round exits is Scottie Reynolds last year. On the other hand is Gordon Hayward, who shot up the draft boards after guiding Butler to the national title game.
With only four teams remaining, players have their final chance to rise their stock. So which players have seen their stock rise the most? Here are 10 studs who have done it the most so far.

I have a Qosmio x875-q7290 and currently right now my left speaker stopped working. Only my right works. I have tried some of the solution offered on the forum like removing the drivers via Device Manager, disconnecting the battery for a spell and re-installed drivers.
Right now, looking at Sound (via CtrlPnl), I see 2 High Definition Audio Devices. I tried switching one for the other with no success.
I tried Installing the RealTek drivers for this system and it seems it is in Mono mode whereas both channels are coming out of the right speaker. When I go into Sound/RealTek --> Configure; it show stereo, but test all sound goes to right ...too strange.
I seem pretty sure it may not be HW issue, If I fiddle with the software enough, as above I get lucky where it will work for a short time, but when it goes into ScreenSave, Hiberbate or Suspend, it is reluctant to work again. Also when I shutdown and startup.
This is my own work computer. I am trying to find a solution other than total system recovery. It would take me days to be back on line again. Any help would be appreciated. Going nuts, please help!
09-20-2012 07:04 AM - edited 09-20-2012 07:10 AM
Some Added information.
I was playing around with the Drivers again and I seems to have gotten the Left Speaker working again. One of the settings I played with was the SRS Premium Sound, I disabled this function and the left speaker came to life.
I am still testing make sure the levels on both speakers hold up over the long term. I'll keep posted.
Another note: I do use a Dynadock V. This has been given me minor trouble with my old Qosmio x505. This may be of no significance, but I'll put it out there.
Any thoughts, any insights on what I done so far?
Prior to these posts, I called up Toshiba Technical Support, and they kindly offered only to recover my computer, but I tried to assure them that it is really a driver conflict issue. I could not accept their solution. Sorry! I just don't think it was correct. Beside, it would take just to much time in Recovery, Installations, Data recovery and Data restoration. Time I didn't have, not for something as trivial as this. So, I was hoping to get more help from this forum from a collective of knowledgeable people that can pose ideas toward a solution. Maybe, I little trial and error. However, this thread has had many views but no offers. Maybe this thread is a pariah of sorts, I guess.
Anyway, I believe I have found the solution, on my own, without doing a recovery. I have been running for 3 days straight without issues so far. Maybe, if TS did a little more trouble shooting with me, I think we could have found the solution together and a lot sooner.
SRS Premium Sound 3D has "Advanced Sttings" located at the bottom has adjustable sliders for each Mode and can be reset to default whenever audio for "left", "right", "center" and other enhancements have issues.
