I'm going to create this T- shirt design based upon this image. And this T-shirt design uses four inks. They are all PANTONE inks and they are all applied using spot color channels. You'll notice that my Color channels are turned off, my layers are turned off. This is a very different way of working in Photoshop. Photoshop is primarily a tool for designing with the colors of light, RGB, or the colors of ink, CMYK. But here we want to use premixed ink colors.
And we also need to make sure that the colors applied to the Sport Color channels do not overlap. They need to register, but they should not overlap. So let's see how we get on with this. So I've got this as my starting point and I want to make it a square. I'm going to use my Crop tool and I'm going to crop this to a 10-inch by 10-inch square. So I'm going to put those values. I'm going to crop this to 10-inch by 10-inch square at a Resolution of 300 pixels per inch.
So having put those values in to my Crop tool, I'll then draw my cropping rectangle, press Return to perform the crop. Now begins the process of deconstructing this image into the different areas of color and detail. We want one layer for the petals, one for the center of the flower, one for the stem, and one for the sky. Ultimately, these layers will become Spot Color channels. When we've adjusted the Spot Color channels, the original layers will be deleted as will the original color channels, and we will then need to save this document either as a Photoshop document or a Photoshop DCS 2.0.
So I'm going to start by making a selection. I'm going to make a color range selection of the sky. Having made that selection of the sky, I'm going to inverse it, so I now have a selection of the flower. I'm then going to refine the edge of that selection. And we can see that we've got quite a lot of fringing going on around the edges of the petals. So I'm going to increase my Radius value so that it's big enough to address this problem.
I'm going to turn on Show Radius and we can see how thick the radius that we're working with is. I'm going to go up to 5 pixels; I can now turn off Show Radius. I'm going to smooth that edge a little bit, and I'm going to increase the contrast along the edge, and I'm also going to shift the edge, bringing it inside the selection by moving to the left, and then I'm going to click OK.
I now need to copy that selection to a new layer, Command+J or Ctrl+J. I'll turn off my Background layer. I now want to separate from it the stem and the center of the flower. So I'm going to come to Color Range and select the green of the stem. As I do so, I am inevitably going to be selecting some of the yellow of the petals. That's okay. With what I have there, I'm now going to cut that selection to a new layer, Command+Shift+J or Ctrl+Shift+J. So we now have all of this on a separate layer.
Some of this I don't need, so I'm now going to choose my Eraser tool, increase the size of my Eraser, make sure that the edge of my Brush is Hard, and then I can just rub out these bits that I don't want. And if I now return to the petals layer, we can see that I've got some of that stem on the right-hand side that ultimately we're going to remove some trace elements of that, and I'm going to rub those out.
So there is a certain amount of cleanup that's going to need to happen. Now I'm going to come back to the Background layer where I'm going to make a selection of the center of the flower, again, using Color Range, and I'm quite happy with that, I'm going to click OK. I'm going to copy that to a new layer, Command+J or Ctrl+J, turn off the Background layer, use my Eraser tool to rub out the bits that I don't want.
Now if I turn back on the petals, we can see that I've got some of the flower center in the petals layer, and I don't want that there. So I'm going to load the selection from Layer 3, come to Layer 1, and delete those pixels. Okay, so what we see now is we have a stem, the petals with some detail in the center of the flower, and then other detail for the center of the flower and we've yet to address the issue of the background.
Ultimately, we want the background to be a flat blue. So what I'm going to do now is convert my layers into Spot Color channels. And this is going to be easier if I separate my Layers panel over here and then I'm going to start with the stem layer. I'll activate its selection by Command+ Clicking or Ctrl+Clicking on its layer thumbnail, come to my Channels panel, let's give myself a bit more room for that and choose New Spot Channel and choose the color that I'm after.
I'm going to have it at a Solidity of 100%. If I'm also printing in black ink. Let's say or a grayscale image or CMYK image with additional Spot Color channels, I could reduce the Solidity so that we see some of the tonal values of the original image coming through. But in this case, I don't want to do that, so I'm going to have a Solidity of 100%, because we need to work with just a very limited color palette here of four inks, and there's no black.
Then I'm going to Command+Click or Ctrl+ Click on Layer 1, the petals, we'll turn off the visibility of that though, and I will come to my Channels panel, New Spot Channel, and now I'm going to choose PANTONE 131 for that. And finally, I'm going to activate the selection for the center of the flower by Command+Clicking or Ctrl+Clicking on its layer thumbnail, over to my Spot Color channels.
So that's what we have so far. I'm now going to create my background color. So for my background color, what I'm going to do is I am going to just go to New Spot Channel and this is going to be a bright blue, PANTONE 300. And then I'm going to make sure that in black, I fill that channel with black, Option+Delete or Alt+Backspace key. Now what I need to do is subtract from this channel the selections of the other three channels.
So Command+Click on the first, Command+Shift+Click on the second, Command+Shift+Click on the third, making sure that you're still on that PANTONE 300 channel, fill that with white. White is currently my background color, so I'm going to press Command and the Backspace/Delete key. So there is our design so far. The area of the flower in the center where we're seeing through to blue, I actually want to see through to negative space, I actually want to see the color of the fabric that we're printing on coming through.
So I'm going to need to adjust this channel further. I'm clicked on it; I'm going to make white my foreground color, choose my Brush tool, an appropriate brush size. I want to make sure I don't introduce any softening of edges, so I'm going to make sure that the Hardness of my brush is all the way down to 0, and then I'm just going to paint over that area. I may have gone a little bit too far on some of those edges, so if so, I can switch to black. I want to make sure that I don't paint over any of the areas occupied by the other three color channels.
So I'm going to Command+Shift+Click on each of those in turn, and then inverse that selection leaving me with a selection of the PANTONE 300 channel, and paint back the bits where I went a little bit too far. Keeping that selection of all the other channels active, but still working on the sky channel, the blue channel, I am going to hide my edges, Command+H, and I want to hide the extras, and then I'm going to paint around those areas where I see fringing.
Now I want to introduce some highlights on to the yellow channel and I'm going to do this by turning back on my layers, temporarily turning off my color channels. And I'm going to apply a Threshold command and then move my Threshold slider all the way over to the right, so that I still retain some detail, but most of it is actually falling away to solid black. Then I'm going to merge the adjustment and the Background layer into one layer, Command+Option+Shift+E. I'll turn off the Background layer and the Threshold layer, and then I will invert that.
So those values there that are in black are what I want to use as the highlight values. I am going to next delete the white pixels. Now I have changed my Transparency Preferences to have a Grid Size of None, so that we're seeing the transparent areas as white. But I'm going to change that for a moment, just so we can see the difference here. So now when I select a white pixel with my Magic Wand tool, I can then delete that and all the white pixels are deleted.
I'm using Tolerance of 32; it doesn't really matter in this case, too much. Anti-aliasing is off and Contiguous is also off. That leaves me with just the black pixels. I now need to activate that as a selection and giving myself a bit of a room on my Channels panel, I'm now going to turn off Layer 4, come to PANTONE 131, where I want to fill this layer with less than 100% black.
And then it will run as a tint of the PANTONE 131. So I'm going to come to my Swatches panel, choose a light gray, there I have 35% gray, make sure I'm on the right channel, Option or Alt and the Backspace/Delete key to fill that selection, and that's how it looks when we see that channel in isolation. That's how it now looks when we see the whole composition.
As a final step, making sure that I'm working on a copy of this document, I would delete the color channels which in turn deletes the layers and make sure I've got the right channels turned on, and then make sure I save it either as a Photoshop document or a Photoshop DCS 2.0. So a very different workflow there, one that involves in its initial setup, the use of layers, but ultimately those layers are discarded as are the color channels, and all we're left with are four Spot Color Channels.

SAN JOSE It was difficult to determine who was having more fun when Bay Area native and current Milwaukee Brewers centerfielder Nyjer Morgan laced up his skates and joined the Sharks for a portion
SAN JOSE At various times this season the Sharks have had eight healthy defensemen on their roster, meaning two able-bodied players would be sitting out at any given time.
SAN JOSE Ryane Clowe will not play on Tuesday night when the Sharks host the Columbus Blue Jackets, but it became clear after the teams morning skate that he is out only due to a facial fracture a
The Sharks continue to make minor adjustments with their roster at the midseason point. The latest move was the acquisition of forward Tim Kennedy for defenseman Sean Sullivan.

Death In Family
A death in the family leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world. We should not try to comfort the family by saying that 'it was his time anyway', or, 'he was suffering'. These may be words of comfort later. However, there must be time to mourn the fact that things will never be the same. One

RC981S/01B Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The RC981S is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Roberto Cavalli collections 2015 and 2016.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The butterfly look is characterized by the thick full frame. The classic shape has an enduring popularity and is always en vogue. Stars like Marilyn Monroe made the look famous. This eye-catching shape is particularly suitable for faces with broad cheeks. The butterfly shape attracts everyone's attention. Due to its extravagance, it is absolutely perfect for confident personalities. The look is particularly suitable for somewhat shorter faces because the special shape makes the faces appear elongated and, thus, more slender. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness. The fact that the colour grey matches everything, also applies to sunglass lenses. They suit everything in your wardrobe and never go out of fashion. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
Even if this Roberto Cavalli is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Congestive Heart Failure
Revascularization Surgery
Revascularization surgery helps to restore blood flow to the heart. It can treat blocked arteries in patients with coronary artery disease and may help select patients with heart failure. Surgery types include coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and angioplasty (also called percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]). CABG is a traditional type of open heart surgery. Angioplasty uses a catheter to inflate a balloon inside the artery. A metal stent may also be inserted during an angioplasty procedure. [For more information, see In-Depth Report #03: Coronary artery disease.]
Click the icon to see an illustrated series detailing coronary artery balloon angioplasty. Click the icon to see an illustrated series detailing heart bypass surgery.
Pacemakers, also called pacers, help regulate the heart's beating action, especially when the heart beats too slowly. Biventricular pacers (BVPs) are a special type of pacemaker used for patients with heart failure. Because BVPs help the heart's left and right chambers beat together, this treatment is called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CST).
BVPs are recommended for patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure that is not controlled with medication therapy and who have evidence of left-bundle branch block on their EKG. Left-bundle branch block is a condition in which the electrical impulses in the heart do not follow their normal pattern, causing the heart to pump inefficiently.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
Patients with enlarged hearts are at risk for having serious cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats) that are associated with sudden death. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) can quickly detect life-threatening arrhythmias. The ICD is designed to convert any abnormal heart rhythm back to normal by sending an electrical shock to your heart. This action is called defibrillation. This device can also work as a pacemaker.
In recent years, certain ICD models and biventricular pacemaker-defibrillators have been recalled by the manufacturers because of circuitry flaws. However, doctors stress that the chance of an ICD or pacemaker saving a person's life far outweigh the possible risks of these devices failing.
Ventricular Assist Devices
Ventricular assist devices are mechanical devices that help improve pumping actions. They are used as a bridge to transplant for patients who are on medications but still have severe symptoms and are awaiting a donor heart. In some cases, they may delay the need for a transplant. Therefore they may be used as short-term (less than 1 week) or longer term support.
Ventricular assist devices include:
- Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used for patients whose heart beat has slowed dangerously to help take over the pumping action of the failing heart. Until recently, these machines required remaining in the hospital. Smaller battery-powered implanted LVAD units are now allowing many patients to leave the hospital while they wait for a transplant.
- Intra-aortic balloon pumps are helpful for temporarily maintaining heart function in patients with left-side failure who are waiting for transplants and for those who develop a sudden and severe deterioration of heart function. The IABP is an implanted thin balloon that is usually inserted into the artery in the leg and threaded up to the aorta leading from the heart. Its pumping action is generating by inflating and deflating the balloon at certain rates.
- Fully implanted miniature artificial pumps that assist the heart are also being tested.
The risks and complications involved with many of these devices include bleeding, blood clots, and right-side heart failure. Infections are a particular hazard.
Heart Transplantation
Patients who suffer from severe heart failure and whose symptoms do not improve with drug therapy or mechanical assistance may be candidates for heart transplantation. About 2,000 heart transplant operations are performed in the United States each year, but thousands more patients wait on a list for a donor heart.
The most important factor for heart transplant eligibility is overall health. Chronological age is less important. Most heart transplant candidates are between the ages of 50 - 64 years.
While the risks of this procedure are high, the 1-year survival rate is about 88% for men and 77% for women. Five years after a heart transplant, about 73% of men and 67% of women remain alive. In general, the highest risk factors for death three or more years after a transplant operation are coronary artery disease and the adverse effects (infection and certain cancers) of immunosuppressive drugs used in the procedure. The rejection rates in older people appear to be similar to those of younger patients.
Implantable Artificial Heart
Abiocor is a permanent implantable artificial heart. It is available only for patients who are not eligible for a heart transplant and who are not expected to live more than a month without medical treatment. The device requires a large chest cavity, which means that most women are not eligible for it.

Skip to comments.Tea Party pushes GOP to acknowledge its clout (Get out of the way RINOs!)
Posted on 11/05/2010 4:47:26 AM PDT by tobyhill
The incoming leadership of the new House Republican majority hardly had a chance to relish its dismantling of the Democrats before the Tea Party came calling in the form of Representative Michele Bachmann.
Ms. Bachmann, the Minnesota Republican and Tea Party heroine often seen exhorting conservative activists at rallies and on cable television, announced that she intended to seek the No. 4 position among House Republicans.
She said she could provide the viewpoint of a constitutional conservative, one she evidently sees lacking in Representatives John A. Boehner of Ohio, Eric Cantor of Virginia and Kevin McCarthy of California the three likely leaders.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Ha!! The Tea Party eloped with American Conservatism... time for the GOP to face facts.
"'Gentlemen, we must all hang together or we shall most assuredly all hang separately" /Ben Franklin, 1776
Words to the wise.
This should be part and parcel of a Voters Bill of Rights which we desperately need. To me at least such a bill would look more or less as follows:
The first item of such a bill HAS TO BE runoff elections or instant runoff elections for all public offices. Nobody should ever fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot, and nobody should ever hold any public office with less than 50% of the vote.
There should also be a None-Of-Above choice on all ballots for public office and if that choice ever wins, then the other candidates should be barred for life from holding any public office and the parties sponsoring them should be barred for at least ten years from sponsoring candidates for that particular office. The penalty for running dead wood for public offices should be severe.
Another item on such a voters' bill of rights should be something which would eliminate voting fraud for all time and if that means getting rid of the secret ballot or at least limiting it somehow or other, so be it, we're paying too high a price for it. Somehow or other it has to be possible to check up on votes when there are questions or evidence of fraud.
There should be a provision that when a president is impeached and removed, his VP goes out the door with him and the office is either vacant until the next election or an emergency election is held to fill the office for the remainder of the current term. Granted removing a president should be difficult but it should not be impossible and if we couldn't remove Slick, we'd not have been able to remove Hitler or Nero either.
What happened in 98/99 was that Trent Lott simply refused to hand the presidency over to Algor with a year to go on Slick's second term, for obvious reasons. The situation should not be possible.
A person should need to be a US citizen for 18 years before voting in a US election. It should not be possible for a rogue political party to rule our land by simply importing large voting blocks for itself.
There should also be some mechanism to prevent utterly unqualified people from holding high offices. Certainly a candidate for president or vice president, or for US Senator or member of the House of Representatives should need to obtain the same basic and simple secret level security clearance which anybody would need to be a guard at the gate of any military base in our land. That isn't asking for much but it would have spared us from the last two democrat presidents.
There are a few other things you'd want but that's the main gist of it. There is also a question as to the extent the people should be voting on issues directly since we now have the technology to allow that while the founding fathers did not. You could get some of these evil social issues settled once and for all and out of politics, and you could limit the scope for corruption and bribery by letting the people themselves settle at least some kinds of issues.
Is there a final tally of how Tea Party candidates did—House, Senate, state legislatures, governors? I saw one on NBC or CBS and I thought the way they calculated them was...curious. Can't recall offhand why, but would be interested in seeing the numbers if anyone can post them.
I like to imagine Ronaldus Magnus smiling down on us from heaven noting that his his faith was well founded; a free people stood up in their hour of peril and reversed the spin of the planet so that the sun would rise rather than set.
Do you know how much political trading rights you get when you catch the other guy in a really bad act. Why impeach him when you can choke him for political favors and get him to support your pork at taxpayer expense.
Plagiarizing myself from earlier:
The system functioned as it was designed to function. Americans did what they had a right (duty) to do, within the Constitutional blueprint.
The Founding Fathers made a course available to American citizens.
Once voters recognize that INTERVENTION is needed to correct for the radical and dangerous behavior of leaders who FORGET or IGNORE the well-being and best interest of ALL Americans over and above all else, then they may/must preempt their leaders!
Bachmann is a Republican member of the House, and has as much right to run for a leadership position as anyone else. The New York Times could care less about Republican leadership in the House. They're down on their knees praying for conflict among Republicans.
"Theyre down on their knees praying for conflict among Republicans."
Leftist's such as that which reside at the NYT don't have faith in prayer, because they haven't any faith. They are not praying for conflict, they are attempting to jumpstart it.
"It's the RINO's stupid" should be our mantra. It has started, and it has been around, but we really need to emphasize the necessity to prioritize the exorcisism of the RINO's from the Republican Party.
We will see more and more of this "infighting" as the RINO's fight to keep their positions of power within the GOP.
It's only good to prove the point they exist as suspected/known for so long, and that they are Leftists of the highest order, but it is a negative to have the infighting constantly, and gleefully displayed above the fold by the MSM.
First, your "Voters Bill of Rights" is wildly unconstitutional. It presupposes Federal powers that government should never have. The more you lean on "higher authority" the more power is alienated from the people.
As to runoff elections, they change the dynamic away from the "hard choice" that actually gives conservatives a better chance of winning.
If NOTA wins the candidates are barred for life? That's just nuts. This is the kind of authoritarian idea that scares people about conservatism, and rightly so.
Now, as to eliminating the secret ballot, one need only consider what the Disclose Act is going to do to unions to understand what a psychotic idea that is in a time when a computer can check anyone's vote when considering a person for a job. So, despite my vain attempt to be polite here...
You are a dangerous nutcase. There are plenty of ways to eliminate voter fraud without going that far.
I'll actually go with you on removing the VP as well as the President, with the proviso that the VP stands in office until an election can be completed. A dangerous world requires an elected CIC in office at all times.
A person should need to be a US citizen for 18 years before voting in a US election.
This precludes a reason for people to want to become Americans. It is against everything this country stands for. Tossing the SCOTUS rulings throwing out local minimum residency requirements is sufficient. That allows enough variation that natural law competition among states and towns seeking growth and investment would be sufficient to mitigate their behavior.
As to your "mechanism to prevent utterly unqualified people from holding high offices," I'd like to see you try to come up with a list of qualifications that won't get you hung as a tyrant. Really, this set of ideas is so bad that I suggest you go back to reading the history of the Founding to understand why this country was constituted as it was. They are anti-American.
No. Getting them out of leadership positions is sufficient.
No, I don't nor ever would support instant runoffs.
Instant or not, we have to have some sort of runoffs for all public offices. We need to eliminate the possibility of the Al Frankens of the world holding public offices with 40% of the vote.
Depends. If banding together means the same-ole, same-ole republican establishment crap of the last 8yrs. I hope the new tea party gang go rogue and say screw you to the liberals in the democrat and republican party.
The system is basically broken as we speak. The suggestions I'm making are a minimal set needed; the only other thing which would fix anything would be a second civil war.
I meant as it as "get on board with ~us~ or else".
In 2 years, the RINO remnants can be just as easily removed....:)
Frankly I don't care if someone wins on a plurality rather than an outright majority, it's the FRAUD that I care about.
And that is how Franken won.
"No. Getting them out of leadership positions is sufficient."
You're wrong. What good is a RINO in any position of representation in our government? The answer, so you don't have to is NONE. You seem to be looking at numbers of life forms with an "R" attached filling seats. That's bullshit.
Every member of Congress that represents us should be an effective, concerned, American participant in the system.
NO RINO is concerned about anything but themselves, go along to get along, filling the seat for the perks, and maybe, just maybe the Leftist agenda of their masters.
All RINO's must go. Congress isn't a Hot Dog. NO fillers needed. There isn't anything more to say as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for your opinion.
Um, I think you misunderstand me completely. "Leadership positions" include representatives of government. They can belong to the Party and vote for conservatives or get out as they please, but the clinking glass parties are over. From the moment GHWB took office, they have almost ruined the GOP completely, and everything Reagan accomplished with it.
Historically however, the RINOs have a point. Republicans have always been a corporate mercantilist party from the time the Whigs devolved. They fell all over themselves in the 19th Century handing out pork to the very railroads, timber companies, and banking aristocracy that threatens us today, having since transplanted their interests overseas. THAT is how entrenched they are, and we should never underestimate that. Limited government conservatism as we know it is relatively new, and Reagan an aberration. What the Democrats call a throwback is in fact wholly new and innovative.
We need an official vote fraud remedy brainstorm thread. I run across so many great ideas, we need a place to paste them to as we find them.
This is what I said: "Its the RINOs stupid should be our mantra. It has started, and it has been around, but we really need to emphasize the necessity to prioritize the exorcism of the RINOs from the Republican Party."
"We will see more and more of this infighting as the RINOs fight to keep their positions of power within the GOP."
This is what you said: "No. Getting them out of leadership positions is sufficient."
This is what I said: "Every member of Congress that represents us should be an effective, concerned, American participant in the system."
"NO RINO is concerned about anything but themselves, go along to get along, filling the seat for the perks, and maybe, just maybe the Leftist agenda of their masters.
"All RINOs must go. Congress isnt a Hot Dog. NO fillers needed."
Now you are claiming I misunderstood you. You should be a politician.
Txhurl is talking about my post 6 above. Of the suggestions I make the one I'm least sure of is what exactly to do about democrat vote manufacturing, but I'm equally convinced we have to do SOMETHING, i.e. that we can't just to on letting those people steal elections.

We place a very high emphasis at Pool on every pupil gaining a sound working knowledge of mathematics. As a core subject in the National Curriculum it is studied extensively by all students in all years.
Pupils should encounter a range of different mathematical experiences with a balance between:
- group work and individual work
- oral and written work
- activities which develop knowledge or practise skills and investigative problem solving or practical activities
- activities which are closed, and those that are open
- listening and talking, reading and writing, observing and doing
- using ICT in mathematics
Key-Stage 4 Examinations
Students will be entered for the EDEXCEL examinations at the end of Year 11. There is no coursework component of the syllabus so each exam paper accounts for 50% of their grade.
GCSE Mathematics is examined in two overlapping tiers of entry:
Higher Tier with grades A* to D available
Foundation Tier with grades C to G available
Both tiers have 2 exam papers at the end of the course, each lasting 1 hour 45 minutes.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Historical Fiction (229)
» 6 more
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A moving and well told story of Lina, a young Lithuanian girl, who loves drawing and who is taken from her home with her family in 1941. The novel tells the story of the hardship and cruelty of the life in a Russian work camp for Lina, her brother and her mother. Well researched and interesting.
Back in March of this year I read Salt to the Sea. I was so impressed with Sepetys writing, I knew I had to read this sister-book, Between Shades of Gray. While I knew that it was well researched and it was a very moving account of what some Lithuanians endured during the war, it didn't resonate with me as Salt did. In Salt the passages were written from multiple points of view. The reader was inside everyone's head. Here, we only have the situation in Lina's context. Also, I really did not care for the flashback techniques that were employed. I found them very jarring and did not enjoy the perspective I think they were meant to provide. This by no means put me off Sepetys, she is so very gifted and I look forward to reading more by her.
Between Shades of Gray came to me in a box from LitKit, which, SO SADLY, is now defunct. When I first saw the book I thought, "Uhh...what are they doing to me?" which is a terrible thing because this book was published before that other book that has "shades" and "gray" in the title. I haven't read the other one but I feel confident this one was better because it was better than most anything else I've read this year.
It's technically a YA novel, though I'm not exactly sure what the criteria is for that. Either way, it's a really depressing and yet somehow heartwarming story about a group of Lithuanians who were sent to a work camp in the Arctic Circle during World War I. So many people die and everyone is subject to the most horrible of all horrors. God damn this book shook me. But -- inside all that there's a coming-of-age story, there's a young romance, there's some glimmers of hope in a truly hopeless situation. And there's burning bodies alive and digging their own graves and other awful, terrible things that make me feel weird about even saying that parts of this book were enjoyable.
But they were. The writing was tight and lovely and haunting. I loved everything about this book. It's certainly, easily the best book I've read in 2016.
Lina is an artistic young woman who grew up in Lithuania under Stalin. One day she and her family are uprooted and forced to move to Siberia in a work camp while her father is sentenced to death. She secretly draws and writes as a rebellion against the Russian soldiers holding her family and others prisoner. This is a haunting tale about what was happening on the other side of the world during and after World War Two.
I received this book as a first reads winner and I am thrilled to have been selected. When I read the description and saw the beautiful cover of the book, I knew I wanted to read it. This book did not disappoint. Ruta Sepetys is a beautiful writer. I felt myself transported back in time and placed right next to Lina and her family. I could see them on that cattle train and smell the stench of being on there for a week with no bathroom, no water, no sunlight, and no air. I could feel the lice crawling on my face as Lina flicked it off her Mom's eyebrow. Ruta makes you care for every one of the characters, even the soldier who Lina hates.
You always hear about what Hitler did to the Jews, but I wonder how many people know what Stalin did to the Lithuanians and others he felt opposed him. This book makes me want to learn more about the hardships of these courageous people. The one downside of the book was the ending. I want to know more of the story. I want more details. It's a mystery what happens to Lina, her brother and their friend Andrius. I read this book in about 24 hours and that included sleeping and working an 8 hour day. I couldn't put it down. Thank you Ruta for such a beautiful story that breaks my heart and makes me glad there are people like Lina who no matter how bad the situation, triumphs over evil.
Hope Morrison (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, May 2011 (Vol. 64, No. 9))
This harrowing novel recalls the systematic deportation of thousands of Lithuanians following the Soviet invasion of their country in 1939. Fifteen-year-old Lina, along with her mother and younger brother, is taken during the night and shipped off on a freight car for a six-week journey to a labor camp in Siberia. After spending nearly a year there, her family is again deported, this time to a frigid outpost in the northernmost region of Siberia, where survival seems unlikely. Conditions in the camps are horrendous, with inmates forced to perform hard labor in exchange for bread rations and denied the basic necessities of warmth, shelter, and sanitation. Abuse at the hands of the NKVD (Soviet police) is abundant, and horrific acts of violence punctuate the narrative. A talented artist, Lina draws for an outlet—; more importantly, she creates pictures full of coded information that she hopes will somehow get to her father, who is suspected to be in a Soviet prison. Lina's voice offers a careful balance of emotional engagement and factual summary, providing a compelling account of this seldom-told chapter of history. The novel provides a testament to the power of community, as the deportees keep one another strong through the most traumatic events and hold on to their will to survive in the direst of survival situations. Readers will want to know more at the end, since an epilogue suggests that Lina survived and returned to Lithuania but leaves many questions unanswered; ultimately, however, this is a powerful story that deserves extensive reading and discussion. An author's note, encouraging readers to learn more about the events in the book, is included. Review Code: R -- Recommended. (c) Copyright 2006, The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. 2011, Philomel, 344p., $17.99. Grades 8-12.
Judy Brink-Drescher (VOYA, April 2011 (Vol. 34, No. 1))
Up until the night the Russian military pounded on her door, fifteen-year-old Lina lived a nearly idyllic life. She had recently been accepted to a prestigious art school and was told she had a very promising future. Now, men speaking a strange language are telling her mother that the family is being deported from their Lithuanian homeland. Without knowing the precise whereabouts of their father, Lina, her mother, and brother soon find themselves packed into a cattle car with many other frightened countrymen. With the help of sixteen-year-old Andrius, Lina discovers her father is on the same train but bound for a different destination. She decides to document all she can in images so he can find them later. Unbeknownst to anyone, many would not survive this trip, and those that did would end up in Siberian labor camps. It was also under these circumstances that Lina and Andrius discover the true meaning of family, love, and loss. In the shadow of the Holocaust, many might be unfamiliar with Stalin's orchestrated genocide of the Baltic States. The first deportations began in 1941; many were unable to return to their homeland until the mid-1950s. Sepetys's father and many of her relatives were among those who either managed to escape into refugee camps or were deported or imprisoned. In her debut novel, Sepetys offers both a compelling love story and a well-researched historical chronicle. The themes throughout this novel are mature, and therefore the book is recommended for high school and above. VOYA CODES: 4Q 3P S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Will appeal with pushing; Senior High, defined as grades 10 to 12). 2011, Philomel, 352p., $17.99. Ages 15 to 18.

The Anderson County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Ad-Hoc Committee for abused and neglected children, held its fifth annual Jail Event at the Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show to raise funds and awareness for the program, the agency announced.
"The organization's ad-hoc committee would like to give its appreciation and thanks to the very generous sponsors of the Jail Event, and to the caring people who went to "jail" for this great cause," organizers said.

A prayer service for racial harmony at the Anderson County Courthouse was disrupted early this evening when two men allegedly walked by and threw firecrackers, startling the crowd.
Cameron Allen Mayberry, 20, of 1171 Cox Lane, Lawrenceburg, and William C. Richardson, 21, of #9 West Court Street/Town Terrace, Lawrenceburg, were each charged with disorderly conduct after being chased down by police officers at the event.
A part-time certified courtroom security officer was fired today from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office for posting a racially charged statement on his Facebook page.
Sheriff Troy Young announced the firing, emphasizing that the former employee is not a deputy, only worked "two or three days a month" providing security in the Anderson County Courthouse and that the post in no way reflects the view of his office.
Rail crossings across Lawrenceburg will be intermittently closed for repairs beginning Monday, July 11.
Crossings will be closed for three to four hours each as workers move from one to the next.
Closures will include crossings on Salt River Road, Woodford Street, North Main Street, Alton Station, Bond Lillard Road, Court Street and at Florida Tile, according to Lisa McCauley, project coordinator for the company performing the repairs, RoadSafe Rail & Utilities.
When flash flooding tore through the southern part of West Virginia last week claiming 23 lives, Rebecca Burgess and her mother Jean Burgess, of Lawrenceburg, wanted to do something to help.
Together, they are gathering much-needed clothing and supplies for those affected by the historic flooding which as damaged or destroyed more than 1,200 homes.
A Lawrenceburg woman emerged shaken but uninjured when her car flipped over this afternoon on U.S. 62 near Powell Taylor Road.
Angel Stumph, 21, was on her way to work at Bourbon Street on Main when she rounded the corner near Powell Taylor Road, hydroplaned and ended up upside down in a steep ditch just off the shoulder of U.S. 62.
"I came around the turn and started sliding," she said. "I saw the guardrail and hydroplaned and saw the rock wall coming.
"I saw the airbag come out. That's all I remember."
Lawrenceburg resident Louis Colpitts, 75, was seriously injured late Saturday afternoon when the boat he was driving slammed into a large tree sticking out of the Kentucky River.
First responders described his injuries as "significant" and said he was transported by Anderson County EMS to the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
Peggy Gill and Roger Dyer of Versailles said they witnessed the accident, which happened near the Bluegrass Parkway bridge.
Public speaking can be horrifying for some people, but not for Annie Edwards. The 17-year-old was recently named runner-up at the district level of the annual Rota-ry speech contest.
Edwards advanced to the district level after winning the club, sectional, and re-gional titles. "It was pretty exciting. I was in awe," she said. "There were lots of good speakers, so it was satisfying to be called number one."
A car struck and ruptured a natural gas line Sunday morning, forcing the closure of a portion of Walker Lane and nearby residents to shelter inside. An employee with Atmos Energy was able to shut off the gas without incident, and the road was reopened around 11:45 a.m. Above, Emergency Management Director Bart Powell examines the broken gas line. No injuries were reported.

Europe, 1890-1945: Crisis and Conflict / Edition 1by Robin W. Winks, R. J. Q. Adams

The first half of the twentieth century was of one of the most turbulent periods in Europe's history.

The first half of the twentieth century was of one of the most turbulent periods in Europe's history. While social theorists challenged orthodox ways of thinking about the establishment of a "good society," scientists offered up new visions of the workings of the universe. Women fought for increased power within the altered social landscape, and change and controversy reigned in the worlds of art and culture. The chaos of world politics ushered in the two great wars, which would forever alter Europe's position in the world.
Europe, 1890-1945 offers a concise, accessible overview of this tumultuous time period. It provides a clear outline of the political events that shaped the age and offers a discussion of the seismic shifts in social and cultural landscapes. Topics covered include the rise of modernism in the arts, Social Darwinism and its effects on theories of race, the making of "national" identities, the origins of the modern ecology movement, and the changing roles of women in an era of war and violence. The authors thoroughly analyze the causes and effects of the two great wars, while reaching beyond Europe to discuss the events in the United States, Africa, and Asia that contributed to the evolving face of world politics. With nine maps for easy reference, chapter summaries to aid in reader comprehension, a detailed chronology, and twenty-four photographs, Europe, 1890-1945 is an ideal text for undergraduate courses that explore the crisis and conflict that governed the early twentieth-century European world.

WUHAN, China: Superstar Lin Dan was made to sweat in front of an adoring home crowd but China breezed through their first group ties in the Thomas and Uber Cups world team championships on Sunday.
Quality was on show from Denmark, Japan and South Korea, but it was England's Rajiv Ouseph who threatened to spring a major surprise, before "Super" Dan, badminton's most-decorated player, came through in two games.
World number 19 Ouseph pushed the reigning Olympic champion in an unexpectedly tight match, as the usually cool Lin let off sparks of surprise and frustration when a handful of smashes went into the net and wide.
"After starting well I broke my racket string and it took me too long to adjust to the new racket. It affected the attack game plan," Lin said, praising Ouseph's performance.
"All the matches here are equally important before the Olympics," Lin added, underscoring the significance of this week in Wuhan, as players have a dress rehearsal before meeting each other on the big stage in July in London.
Lin's teammates, including feisty world number three Chen Long, had an easier time as they beat the plucky English 5-0 and rapidly turned their attentions to Indonesia, who China face next in their group and a key rival.
"Indonesia is China's biggest opponent in the Thomas Cup," Lin said.
"It doesn't matter who I play. I take them all seriously," he said about Indonesia's choice to select Simon Santoso over Olympic gold medallist Taufik Hidayat as first singles player.
Playing on the court next to China were their rivals Japan, who trounced New Zealand 5-0 and looked every bit a legitimate frontrunner in the men's competition.
In the day's earlier session, Denmark and South Korea also looked impressive contenders for a tournament neither country has won yet.
The Danish men, finalists eight times, were never troubled by South Africa in their 5-0 win and were well led by 35-year-old Peter Gade, who hopes to silence critics after this season's poor run of results.
"Winning the Thomas Cup will be very difficult for Denmark because there are a lot of strong teams... but on a good day we can beat anyone," said former men's doubles world number one Mathias Boe after his win with Carsten Mogensen.
The toughest match in South Korea's 5-0 victory over the USA came in the first doubles tie as Yoo Yeon-Seong and Ko Sung-Hyun beat Howard Bach and Olympic medallist Tony Gunawan in three close games.
