Too cute! My husband and I do the same thing, but it's an on going email. It's really like a journal though. It's not just memories of what we liked, but even a good place to vent if we've had a fight or something. It's a way to keep talking to each other since so often parents forget to do that once children come in to the marriage.
@Cristy-You are right! Communication is so important! I love that you guys email throughout the day!
Love it! Where did you find the LOVE sign?
@allie-the LOVE sign came from Michael's. For $4, you get a huge bag of words to use on cards, scrapbooks, etc.
Thank you for this idea. My husband is currently depolyed overseas & it is hard to keep coming up with ideas that are creative to keep our relationship strong & show him that I am thinking of him. I am tweeking this a bit & we will do it long distance!
You have a lovely blog and wonderful ideas!! Thank you for sharing them.
I have nominated you for a One Lovely Blog award!
Such a cute idea, Corie!
Great idea–of course this will only fuel my obsession with school supplies. I'm not sure if my DH will thank you or ask you to bar me from the DD blog!
Hey- Just wanted you to know that I gave you this award-
@Tiffany-I am glad you guys will be able to use this idea..even if your husband is overseas!
@Reagan-I am also obsessed with school supplies! There is just something about new supplies and a great deal…
This idea is fantastic!! I'm slightly addicted to journal writing, but my husband isn't, and I've ALWAYS want his take on things that we do! Maybe this will be entertaining enough for him to do with me on sunday afternoons! Even if he just talks and I write down what he says!! Love it! Thanks for the awesome ideas!!
Such a fun idea! I love making these kind of journals for my neices and nephews I never thought of making one for me and my hubby! One little thing you should add when you make your journal, just add modge podge (love that stuff) over the paper front and back and it's all sealed on and looks like a book you bought! 🙂
Made it and love it, cant wait to write memories with the hubby
I really love this idea! I want to give it to my boyfriend as a gift, we've always loved exchanging letters. I just need some ideas on how to make the first entry. I'm thinking about a letter, maybe explaining what it is?
How do you all get your husbands into doing these things? I do a lot of the calendar for my husband but he thinks I'm cheesy and retarded with a lot of it. Especially the cute home date nights and stuff like that. He isn't interested in the journal either. Someone please help. I would have thought since we are 5 hours from anyone we know and we only get like 1 date a year alone sue to having 2 kids he would be interested in the at home dates but he isn' .

The department says Jordan would do things like removing or disabling warning lights for anti-lock brakes, air bags and check engine systems and is also accused of rolling back a trucks odometer 100,000 miles so he could get a better selling price on the vehicles.
Jordan is also charged with having a firearm as a felon, as the department says he has a felony driving conviction in Massachusetts.

Farewell to Philanthropist Nancy Hamon, Who Helped Foot the Bill For Dallas's Arts Scene
When word came down earlier this evening that Nancy Hamon had died at 92, I immediately thought of the unfortunate dust-up three Julys ago, when some folks, among them Joyce Foreman and Carla Ranger, voiced their displeasure with the Dallas ISD's decision to put Hamon's name on the side of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts -- a decision based solely upon the fact she donated $10 million toward the facility. That silly name game promoted Schutze to note, finally, that Hamon -- a San Antonio native, a UT-Austin grad, a donor to every arts organization in town, damn near -- is "not at all show-offy and ....probably had nothing to do with the signage issue."
Absolutely not: Though Hamon, who married oil-and-gas man Jake in '49, donated countless millions toward everything from Dallas Opera to the Dallas Historical Society to the AFI Dallas to ... look, everything else, few in town probably know who she is or what she's done with her money. It's like then-SMU Meadows School of the Arts Dean Carole Brandt said in 2000, when Hamon received her honorary degree, "Mrs. Hamon has always lived out loud through grand curiosity, impatient expectations and personal commitment to that which is beautiful. The Meadows School celebrates her extraordinary vision and support of the literary, visual and performing arts. She has made a difference in them all."
All manner of tributes pour in this evening, among them one from the AT&T Performing Arts Center, toward which Hamon put $10 million in '08. Says Bess Enloe, co-chair of the AT&TPAC's board, "Nancy always expressed such joy and vitality in her life, and that just extended to her giving, especially with the arts. She understood how art can transform lives for the better and how they help define a great city."
Update at 10:43 p.m.: Then there's this, just in from SMU President Gerald Turner, who says, "Nancy Hamon's impact on the arts at SMU and in Dallas was profound. Her personality was a force of nature that made her a natural leader. She will be missed by all of us, but her legacy as an arts visionary is secure."

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article

With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

Grace Hartzel Models Burberry's Just-Shown Collection on Vogue Japan's November Cover (Forum Buzz)
There's no denying the fact that Vogue Japan has been following a certain formula over the past couple months, having recently served up the likes of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Therefore, our forums were half expecting to see Gigi Hadid on the cover for November but were surprised to learn a "regular" model had made the cut. Breaking the pattern this month is Grace Hartzel, who is currently having her moment, splashed across the pages of American Vogue and starring on Vogue Korea. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, the American beauty wears a jacket from Burberry that was shown at London Fashion Week just a few days ago.
Members of our forums were delighted. "This is fresh! She looks really great and so does the jacket. I was expecting Gigi so thank goodness they proved me wrong!" cried out an approving GivenchyHomme at once.
"Love this cover, Grace is a chameleon," raved TeeVanity. (more…)

I'm quite late getting this post up, for various camera repair and website revamping reasons, so Happy (belated) Birthday Glossybox UK! Over the last year I've watched Glossybox cement it's place in the beauty box market and become an ambassador for them. I know there is always drama surrounding the ambassador scheme, and I'm not sure if it's because people think we get paid or what, but, well…basically we don't! What it essentially boils down to is getting your box ahead of everyone else, with the aim of letting you try the products first so that when you put your post together you can not only share what you got in the box but also your thoughts on the items in it. You do get free boxes, but so do many other bloggers who aren't ambassadors, it's the same with all the other box services, they have a quota of press samples to give away. I have received flowers and a personalised diary from Glossybox as gifts over the months of being an ambassador, and that's really all it boils down to. I just wanted to clear it up a little, I haven't had anyone say anything to me directly but my twitter feed is often full of misconceptions and comments amongst bloggers, so there we have it! Shall we get into how I feel about the box now? Okay.
Here's what I got:

Like I've said before though I use these for the gym and travel so I don't actually mind getting these too much but on the other hand, a shower gel is a shower gel and although it's nice to try fancier ones I would never spend £20+ on repurchasing one. I'd much rather the shower gel space be reserved for other items that I might go on to purchase if I liked them.
Apvita Express Beauty Revitalising Face Mask With Orange – This isn't a brand I'm familiar with but I like trying new skincare so I was excited to see these. This is designed to combat signs of fatigue and smells nice. I don't look like I've slept for a week, but my skin feels moisturised and like it's had a treat.
Osmo Berber Oil Hair Treatment with Argan Oil – This contains argan oil, avocado and coconut oil and is a nice travel size. I'm saving this for an overnight stay but it will be a nice deep treatment to do to keep my hair nourished. Quite happy to see this.
Set of 2 Lolita Lempicka Fragrance Samples – Oh Glossybox please don't keep sending fragrance samples! This is the one thing that I really don't like getting and I know I'm not the only one. I know the old argument of "I can get this for free" isn't actually true in most cases, they aren't as easy to get nowadays, but that's not actually the reason I don't like getting them. For me it's less about the cost and more about the fact that I generally tend to stick to my favourite scent, Stella. Also, apart from sending something like foundation out in a box, fragrance is probably the hardest item you'll find to please everyone. It's always risky and my favourite boxes have been ones with no perfume samples. If they come as a bonus, great, but as one of my items I'm not keen. Having said that, these fragrances are pretty nice, it's more the idea of getting these that does irk me a bit!
Eldora Handmade Lashes (D155) – I think eyelashes are a great thing to get in a box and I've previously had Eldora ones in a Carmine box. Now, Glossybox and Carmine merged a little while back, so I was surprised to see this in here really. I'm not sure when I'll wear these because they have a huge silver glitter strip on them which isn't really something I would choose, but Eldora as a brand are nice, and I enjoyed the last lashes I used from them. Nice idea, I just wish mine weren't disco lashes!
Extras – Glossybox Mirror & Balloon – I loved these little extras and have always been impressed with the attention to detail that Glossybox have, their themed boxes and little touches like this make it fun to open so I loved the printed paper and ribbon too. The mirror will come in handy and I had a good game of balloon volleyball with Matt until it met the corner of my coffee table and perished.
Overall I wasn't entirely thrilled with this box, mainly because I saw what some other people got and would have preferred their contents. I think that is what makes some boxes so hit and miss really, especially when some boxes are totally different. I think Glossybox do a good job of trying to please everyone, it isn't an easy feat, and I do think people can sometimes expect the earth of a box that they paid £12.95 for which is a little unfair, it's hard to please a crowd. On the other hand, I don't think that problem would be half as bad if there wasn't such a mixed bag when it came to what you received. Skincare items and shade differences aside, a more fixed box would probably mean less disappointment. What do you guys think? I will still enjoy these products, I just wasn't wowed with this box for my personal tastes. Here's to next months box!

Improved plasma uniformity in a discharge system with electron injection80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3069291View Description Hide Description
We present the results of experiments leading to improvement in bulk plasma uniformity of a constricted-arc discharge system with electron injection. The steady-state discharge was in argon, at a gas pressure of 0.5 mTorr, and operated with a main discharge voltage between 20 and 100 V and current between 3 and 15 A. The radial plasma distribution was measured with a movable Langmuir probe. We find that geometric modification of the intermediate electrode exit aperture and the main dischargecathode add little to the plasma uniformity. Improved bulk plasma uniformity is observed when a special distributing grid electrode is used and the main discharge voltage is less than 20–30 V. The application of a weakly divergent magnetic field in the region of the intermediate electrode exit aperture decreases the plasma nonuniformity from 20% to 14% over a radial distance of 30 cm. The plasma uniformity was further improved by compensating the magnetic self-field of the injected electron beam by a reverse magnetic field produced with a special electrode compensator. It is shown that an increase in dischargecurrent causes a proportional increase in back current in the distributing electrode. The approach allows a decrease in plasma nonuniformity from 20% to 13% over a radial distance of 30 cm.
A picosecond time-resolved electron energy spectrometer based on Čerenkov radiation80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3080555View Description Hide Description
The energy spectrum of relativistic electrons is an important characterization of high intensity laser-matter interactions. We present a technique that utilizes Čerenkov radiation to measure the time-resolved energy distribution of electrons. Electrons escaping from targets irradiated by high-intensity laser pulses were measured, demonstrating the feasibility of such a novel diagnostic. Limitations on the time resolution of this diagnostic are also discussed.
Robust, easily shaped, and epoxy-free carbon-fiber-aluminum cathodes for generating high-current electron beams80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3086728View Description Hide Description
This paper presents the construction of carbon-fiber-aluminum (CFA) cathode by squeezing casting and its applications for generating high-current electron beams to drive high-power microwave sources. The fabrication process avoided using epoxy, a volatile deteriorating the vacuum system. These cathodes had a higher hardness than conventional aluminum, facilitating machining. After surface treatment,carbon fibers became the dominator determining emission property. A multineedle CFA cathode was utilized in a triode virtual cathode oscillator (vircator), powered by a , pulse. It was found that 300–400 MW, microwave was radiated at a dominant frequency of 2.6 GHz. Further, this cathode can endure high-current-density emission without detectable degradation in performance as the pulse shot proceeded, showing the robust nature of carbon fibers as explosive emitters. Overall, this new class of cold cathodes offers a potential prospect of developing high-current electron beamsources.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 23, 2013.
Valta remote energy management system automatically detects un-used devices, identifies energy waste, and notifies you to help you save
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 23, 2013.
TechCrunch.com: "The founding team has lots of experience in hardware engineering, iOS and cloud computing programming and electrical engineering. They have the chops to pull this off."
Geek.com: "Valta has lots of potential to basically turn your home into a tiny smart power grid with usage statistics and cloud-control."
CNET.com: "Stop the electricity nightmare with valta!"
Financial Review: "valta has a do it yourself smart-power system for your home"
Gigaom.com: "An energy management system is a smart idea for technologically-inclined folks to make the most of their gadgets without spending a fortune on energy costs."
Reviewed.com: " As impressive as Nest is, though, it doesn't have the domestic all-in-one versatility that a truly groundbreaking air conditioning solution would need. Neither does the Modlet, for that matter. Valta seems more promising."
TechnologyTell.com: "The neatest thing about Valta is that it takes a lot of the guesswork our of what devices should be on or off, and - more importantly - alerts you to potential fire hazards like the iron or coffee pot you might have forgotten to unplug when you done with them."
CRN.com: List Valta as one of 10 cool tech products on kickstarter.
Mobilesyrup.com: "The potential here is huge."
Recombu.com: "Valta can promise that its wireless devices won't congest people's home wireless networks."
We want to thank everyone who has covered us, supported us, and liked us. Your feedback gives us even more motivation. We will be bringing a series of new add-on products and innovative app's. Your continue support is the fuel to drive us to strive further.
Valta sockets are unique because it is equipped with a high resolution chipset, which along with our patented energy detection/measurement system, can measure and identify standby power. This means that our system can detect devices that have been left on, but are not being used. The system can push automated messages to your iPhone whenever this happens, to allow you to proactively manage your energy usage and eliminate waste. The "orange" button appears, when your device is in standby mode, to allow you to turn off the un-used device. You can worry less, save more, and make the environment better for everyone.
Our app has the capability to detect whether you are at home or away automatically through your smartphone. If you like, you can set the app to turn off devices when you are away from home, and to turn back on once you are back. There will be no more "Ooops, I forgot" moments and at the same time it saves energy.
Valta's three different scheduling options allows you to customize your home or office to behave as you want it to.
Our system allows you to set multiple schedules. With easy settings on your iPhone or web app, you can schedule appliances to power on and off at specified times of day – even when you're away.
Valta monitors your energy usage in realtime, helping to calculate the energy consumption and providing you with easy-to-understand data about your energy usage pattern - Total consumed, energy used and potential saving; usage by time and by date; 24-hour data logger. Historical data is stored in our cloud server, so you can always check and find out if any improvement has been made. Most of all it's quick, simple, and intuitive to use.
Valta cloud ensures that all data on your iPhone and web app are in sync - any update on on/off status or notification will be refreshed instantly on all screens whenever and wherever you are.
Valta energy management system consists of 2 parts:
Hardware: v-Hub and socket,
Software: iPhone app, web app & cloud servers
Our system connects your electrical devices to your iPhone, iPad, or computer through an internet-connected v-Hub. By connecting the electrical device to valta socket, the socket will communicate with the v-Hub and upload/ store your energy usage data to our cloud server. All data will then be displayed on your iPhone app or web app. With our Instant refresh & sync feature, you are in total control of your home/office anywhere in the world.
Control page allows you to control individual device, receive notification and set scene.
Monitor focuses on the data. You can check out your overall usage and potential saving, device breakdown usage, and previous usage history in $ value and energy value (kWh/ Wh).
Valta remote energy management system: iPhone app interface demo
We started this project to bring transparency to electricity usage. We wanted to enable the masses to understand how energy is being used and wasted, and what we can do about it. Most of the energy management systems out there only allow you to turn on and off electrical devices remotely. The ones with energy measurements to help you manage usage are too technical and require insider knowledge/ background to navigate. It is too difficult for the average person to understand. Our goal is to solve these problems by creating an elegant, yet simple to use system that can truly help people manage their energy usage without sacrificing their life style. We believe being energy efficient no longer just means turning down the thermostat, or turning off the light when you leave the room. It means eliminating energy waste. Valta provides a tool for users to use energy without wasting it and help users to adopt more sustainable usage patterns.
Building a complete system of such scale is a complex and time-consuming task. We have overcome numerous technical complexities along the way and are ready to take on new ones.
It has taken us over 2 years to build the infrastructure of our energy management system. We have completed our working prototype. The hardware such as the v-Hub and the sockets, the software interface such as the iPhone App and web, and the backend support, which includes valta cloud servers are all in place. We have completed the field testing for our entire system. Now, all we need is to introduce this product into the market. With that, we encounter our biggest obstacles. We need significant investments in:
Your contribution will help us fund these final and critical steps to bring this endeavor to its completion.
Our products will be produced in DongGuan, China in the factories we had partnered successfully before. Our team in HK will follow strict production quality standards to ensure the quality of our hardware products:
- Incoming Quality Check (IQC)
- Initial Production Check (IPC)
- During Production Check (DUPRO)
- Finished Product Inspection (PSI)
- Container Loading Check (CLC)
Here is our timeline for putting valta products into your hands:
March/ April
August/ September
October/ November
We have completed the housing tooling and ETL and FCC/ IC assessment of the socket and v-Hub at the world-renowned Intertek Testing and Inspection Services. Now, we are ready to start the actual product testing. Once the certification completed, we will begin to manufacture our products.
There are always possible risks with relation to keeping the manufacturing plan. Our team in Hong Kong will monitor closely the production schedule. But if there are unintended delays during material transport and/ or manufacturing processes, we will plan an appropriate course of action to minimize the duration and advise you immediately.
This version is designed for the North American market (NEMA 5-15 type B, standard wall outlet with three-pronged electrical outlet, 15A, 120V grounded). However, we are working on building a presence in the UK and Germany, and plan to bring valta to those markets in Q1 of 2014.
We do not recommend this, as the valta socket will read energy data cumulatively of all the electrical devices that are plugged into the power strip. We may not be able to detect standby power correctly.
Yes, we are planning on developing the android and windows apps after the launch of the iPhone app. As soon as we have a timeline we will share this with all our backers.
Maintaining cloud servers on a continuous basis cost money. In order for us to maintain high level of service, small monthly service fees might be introduced for future customers. However, if you decide to support us now, we will make sure no monthly fees will ever apply to you!
Our system is scalable. Each control hub supports up to 16 sockets, and our platform can support unlimited amount of control hubs within the account.
This is the first of a series of products that we will be introducing. Please look forward to new product launches by following us on facebook. We also welcome any feedbacks and new ideas from our users. E-mail us at http://mailto:email@example.com.
We started this project because we could not find any energy management systems out there that are easy to use and truly effective. We wanted to create a system that anyone can use without confusion, and the energy usage data can be presented to the user intuitively, so the user can take action easily to achieve true savings. We believe we have done that with this product.
So if you are:
1. Curious about your energy consumption patterns, and wondering about why your electricity bills are so high;
2. Sometimes forgetful, and leaves the house without turning things off that you meant to;
3. Or simply want to find a way to effective use less energy and extend the product life of your devices
Our product is for you.
1.Standby power detection: We are the only product in the market place that can detect un-used devices in standby mode, which enables us to send push message to your mobile device to remind you to turn it off. By doing this, we aim to change user behavior to adopt a more sustainable usage pattern for the long term.
2. Geofencing: Our app has the capability to detect whether you are at home or away automatically through your smartphone. If you like, you can set the app to turn off devices when you are away from your home, and to turn back on once you are coming home. There will be no more "Ooops, I forgot" moments and at the same time it saves energy.
3. Extremely low power usage: By leveraging 915 MHz RF, valta sockets use less energy than any of our competitors (0.6 watts). Most energy management solution uses Wi Fi, which consumes more energy, and in many cases, more energy than the standby power consumption of the devices they are monitoring. Why should anyone use a power saving system that might use more power itself?
4.Better connectivity: Most of your neighbors are using Wi Fi for their internet connectivity, so interference is a given. By leveraging 915 MHz RF, we get better range and less interference than Wi Fi or other solutions. Valta sockets has minimum range of 100m, while WiFi modules have maximum range of 50m.
5.Sleek Design: Most similar products in the market place are clunky and unpractical. Sockets are large and cover up the entire wall plug, which takes away from practicality of the product. Valta sockets are sleek and minimalistic. Plugging one in does not interfere with the customers from using the other plug for other purposes. On top of that, the system simply looks good.

The #1 New York Times–bestselling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race.
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936.
The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together - a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism.
Drawing on the boys' own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant. It will appeal to readers of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, James Bradley, and David Halberstam's The Amateurs.

"Great story, narrator didn't do his homework."
Wonderful story, but the narrator made many egregious (too numerous and irritating to be laughable) mispronunciations of Pacific Northwest place names. If you're from Washington state you'll be happier reading it than listening to it. Penguin Books: don't you have editors?
"Inspiring story"
Yes. While we know how it ends, the journey to get there is worth hearing over and over again.
His voice can deliver a story
How the seemingly ordinary can be extraordinary
Despite some over-the-top up turns of phrase and descriptions (think Cold Mountain) that trigger several eye rolls, as well as Edward Herman's tortured pronunciations of Washington place names (not sure that is actually his fault-where was quality control?), the story is just a great one. Growing up in Washington and attending UW, I've always known the story without knowing the STORY. And it's a great one. You can't help but beam with pride and unquestionably admire what these ordinary folks accomplished in some of the toughest times in America.
"Exciting true story of courage and determination"
Absolutely! This is not a read-to-find-out-what-happens book -- it's charm is in the telling. The people are fascinating, better than fictional characters, the technical detail is interesting, and the narrator is perfect.
George Pocock, the shell builder. Pocock was an enigmatic artist, the character in the book I would most like to have known.
Herman's voice is smooth and even. His timing is spot-on, and his intonation is just lively enough to avoid monotony, without overpowering the content.
Yes, though it's a little too long for that.
"Narrative Gold"
It's fairly astonishing that no one has stumbled onto this story before: it is narrative gold. Brown is not the most elegant writer, but he is a diligent researcher, and skillfully moves between the personal and particular, and the grander themes of the Depression and WWII. And, of course, the story is inherently thrilling, full of vivid characters and the vast machinery of history. Yes, we know how the story ends -- but the reader is nonetheless on the edge of his seat throughout.
One cavil with the otherwise excellent narration: many of the place names in the Northwest are hideously mispronounced. I will grant that "Puyallup" is a challenge (it's "pew-AL-up", not "pile-up") but Alki??? It's "ALK-EYE" not "al-kee", as if an entire neighborhood were deemed a drunk.
"Great Story - Bungled Read"
This is a well-written, highly entertaining and motivating story within a larger story of WWII. Good drama, good character development.
Please, please - if you are going to read about real geographic locations, correctly pronounce the names. Juan de Fuca, Skagit, Alki on and on - ALL BUNGLED. It's really detracting.
"Well rowed Washington,well rowed."
In the top 5. An inspiring story story,well told. It has it all, suspense, excitement.
An outstanding narration which matches perfectly the prose.
I loved it all. That sounds like a cliche but in this case it is true.
I have not heard him before, but it won't be my last, he did a great job.
As a rower and a boat builder I am glad on of my personal heros,George Pocock is so important in this story. I hope that even if the listener has never rowed a good wooden shell that they will understand the magic. The author and the narrator have done a great job to bring that experience to life.
I love to walk and run listening to audiobooks
"Historical narrative at its best"
With the Olympics just past, I thought I would pick up this book, which has languished on my "to read" pile for quite a while. My first comment is that I should have read this book a long time ago! My second comment is that whoever has not read this book should. This is historical narrative at its best. The author thoroughly researched as many perspectives as he could and interleaved them artfully and impartially while ticking his narrative on a perfect pace. The tension towards victory is wound up, released and then rewound with each personal trial Joe faces and each race the boys face. Not only was this book inspirational for athletes, students and humans, but it also honors an era where kids from (desperately) humble origins worked hard and unrelentingly to realize the key goal to getting ahead in America: graduating from college. The backdrop of WWII and its atrocities is deftly included without overwhelming the boys' story. Each race is a nail-biter; each victory a tear-jerker. I deeply enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
Thoreau's 'Walden' and Ayn Rand's 25th anniversary introduction to 'The Fountainhead' summarize my library well.
"The Value of Character, with Oars"
In her non-fiction bestseller "Quiet", Susan Cain posits that the "culture of character" has all but been replaced by the "culture of personality" in modern-day society: less substance, more veneer. "Boys in the Boat" is a well-told snapshot of that lost culture of character that warrants reading and preservation. This book is all substance.
The Great Depression. The Dust Bowl. The rise of Hitler's Germany. I wager that whatever trouble you're facing in your current-day life doesn't even compare to the stresses of life for the majority of Americans in the 1930s. To wit: Joe Rantz, abandoned by his broken family as a child and left to fend for himself. He pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and found gold in the heart of the Nazi Olympics.
It wasn't without help, to be sure. UW's reserved head coach Al Ulbrickson demands his athletes disappoint neither their teammates, nor themselves. And George Yeomans Pocock--a man who shaped not only boats, but young men and the entire sport of rowing with his wisdom and his hand tools--serves also to be a timeless role model for the reader.
"Boat" is filled with great visuals:
- Joe "shoveling food into his mouth like hay into a barn"
- the UW team breathing in unison in 30-degree weather
- The peculiar icicles on Husky Clipper
- George Pocock working with cedar, both in the woods and in his shop.
- The crowd at the opening ceremonies to the Berlin Olympics
And great pearls of wisdom:
- Anger takes energy; unaffordable when you have no energy to waste
- Keep your mind in the boat
- Water, that enemy of the sport, is simultaneously your friend: keeping you afloat and making you strong
- All eight men feeling like the weak link, the one who is 'lucky' to be in the company of his oarsmen
While it's no surprise that crew is an upper-crust sport (i.e., boats aren't cheap), let its blue-collar roots never be forgotten. You needn't be an oarsmen (I'm not) to enjoy this title; Brown does a fine job of introducing the sport in lay terms and increasing the appreciation for the reader.
Herrman's voice was a great choice by the director of this book, well-suited for the period and theme. The more I think about this title, the more it grows on me: a credit well-spent, no doubt.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Timeless Story of a Great American Triumph"
STORY (True Historical) - I am not from the Pacific Northwest and I'm not a rowing enthusiast, but this still was a great listen. It is for all Americans who like stories of courage and determination and people who have made their mark in history. The story begins as hopeful boys show up at Washington to try out for the university rowing teams. As the book progresses, the teams are chosen and begin their training. Alternately, you will get a glimpse of Berlin as it prepares to host the 1936 Olympic Games. The book goes back and forth between Berlin and Washington until the final American Olympic team is chosen and travels to Berlin.
It was interesting to hear details about the sport of rowing which I knew nothing about. I even looked on Wikipedia to see a diagram of the seating positions so I could understand the titles of the different rowers and how they contribute to the overall speed of the boat. What I enjoyed the most was the massive effort made by Hitler and the Nazis to hide the "real Germany" and appear to the world as a beautiful, peaceful Berlin. There was a little too much character development of each of the boys in the boat, but I suppose it contributed to the overall story. The best part of the book, of course, is the end when the Washington rowing team competes for the USA on the world stage. That is followed by an epilogue which updates each boy's life after the games.
PERFORMANCE - Good job. Some people from Washington complain about mispronunciation of local places. This Texas reviewer didn't notice a thing.
OVERALL - Recommended for just about anyone. There is no cursing, violence or sex. My only criticism is I thought it moved a little slowly at times.
ELLE aka PlantCrone of the Great Pacific Northwest. I enjoy almost every genre-S/F, Action, Biographies and Histories & Romance
"My Favorite Non-Fiction book for Years"
Inspiring, heart warming and a great listen, "The Boys in the Boat" really got to me. Edward Hermann was the perfect narrator for Daniel Browns story of a group of 17-20 year olds, all of whom strive to be the best at what they are doing. It follows them from Freshmen thru their Senior year as well as also following the evolution of a boatbuilder who refined the wood ships that were then the only ships available.
Even though they weren't necessarily the best students scholastically they are the type of teens I wish were around now. Living in the NorthWest as I do, I was surprised I hadn't heard about the Huskies Rowing Crew of 1936. After finishing my non stop listen, I called my sister and brother, both of whom went to U-Dub, which is, for some reason I haven't yet learned, is the locals nickname for Washington State University in Seattle. The story takes place during the depression and also describes the hard work the young team members did to pay their tuition and the evolution of the Dust Bowl which happened at the same general period of time.
These guys rowed in the 8 man boat in the 1936 Olympics, which were held in Berlin prior to the start of Hitlers rise to fame. While Germany swept all the other rowing awards, this team from the boonies, made up of loggers, fisherman's and farmers sons competed for against 4 years against the elite song men from Princeton, Yale, Navy, and other 'upper class' and wealthy of the East Coast. About the only other West Coast team mentioned was the Olympic Medal willing Cal State team from Berkley, who won Olympic Gold for 2 years prior to and several years after U-Dub's big win.
Daniel Brown injects a bit of humor into this biography of a cedar boat when he writes about the huge class differences between the coasts when writes about the differences in rowing apparel. Everyone from the East Coast schools wore nice and matching uniforms while the Husky team wore old sweats and mismatched T-shirts..even when rowing at the Olympics.
This is the kind of story that makes me proud to be both an American and a NorthWesterner. It is an ideal listen for long family road trips and is sure to inspire teens towards athletic endeavors-not just crewing.
Good also for anyone who enjoys sports stories and even WWII or depression era novels. I also decided to purchase "Unbroken", another biographically oriented novel about the same Olympics-and it's narrated by Edward Hermann also. As many of you know, "Unbroken" has been made into a movie-and I think "The Boys in the Boat" should also be made into a film, if it hasn't been yet.

Playing Video Games That Offer an Actual Difficulty
It constantly seems to me to be a real frustration, when I find a video game that doesn't measure up to the associated hype. Among the real troubles that I have is with games that have been produced with the help of substantial financial backing, but that merely do not seem to provide.
It's frequently the case that such games are associated with movies or TV programs. In these cases, I guess that the executives are counting on that there is currently a prospective audience available. Those who see the movies might be more likely to purchase the games.
It can often be the case that rather too much money is invested on producing video games that look excellent, rather than having that focus on whether they are enjoyable to play. It may be amusing to have computer games experiences that reproduce what you have seen at the movies, but the number of hours of satisfaction will you truly get?
My own recommendation would be that it's commonly very well to avoid those games that are connected with big marketing projects. You typically find out about the best games in a rather more organic way, without needing to depend on various posters and television adverts. Instead, you find out about them from friends and family members.
It helps, naturally, if you have good friends and members of your family who delight in comparable video games to you. That's generally a fairly good sign of that they will make informed recommendations. If you delight in playing sports video games, for instance, then there's a strong possibility that you'll want to learn about more within that exact same genre.
For my own part, I've often been shocked to find that I take pleasure in playing games where the material doesn't seem particularly pertinent to my own interests. This is a situation that's cropped up at fairly routine intervals. It's led me to draw a variety of conclusions, which I'd like to share with you right now.
Regardless of much of the talk about how video games look, the reality is that it's the difficult of playing them that constantly makes the genuine distinction. Absolutely nothing else appears to matter much by comparison. Even if I'm not thinking about fishing, to take a severe example, that's not to state that I would not enjoy a game that covers that subject which has been well made. Find moere info https://www.iwantcheats.net/star-wars-battlefront-hacks-cheats-aimbot-download/ .
There are times when it's possible to learn more about a certain topic by playing pertinent games. If that happens within the context of playing an interesting and difficult video game, then this seems to me to be an extremely great thing.
Think carefully about exactly what a video game actually provides and whether it meets your own pc gaming requirements. Don't be confused by intelligent marketing methods.
What is one of the most Popular Genres of Video Games?
There is absolutely nothing to beat the popularity of computer game, with newer variations appearing rather often. Because of the nonstop needs for such items, the market providing them has no option but to keep pace by producing extra ranges to replace the older editions. Much to the benefit of gamers, the market is flooded with an extremely huge variety of games and the dynamic gaming industry has actually gone through numerous technological advancements. Undoubtedly, gamers never ever had such a variety of quality items to satisfy their rising requirements.
Everybody thinking about these video games has personal preferences and can certainly find some that never fail to meet their expectations of remarkable video gaming experiences. Following you'll find an introduction to different kinds of the most popular video games readily available in present market, remembering the interactive features they consist of and the genre of the basic gameplay they offer.
FPS - FPS represents First Person Shooter. This is mainly centered on the gamer, who plays it just as per his understanding. These video games frequently include different kinds of weapons and bullets and other weapons, though there are most people unusual games like samurai plus other warfare designs that incorporate use of swords and knives. Since these video games require moderate level of concentration, these are well accepted by beginners, along with seasoned gamers.
RPG-RPG, implying role-playing games, are among the most popular types of video games that the present pc gaming market offers. The video games are developed to trigger the gamer to act in a role-playing manner that is supported by an appealing story board, having differing missions to be achieved as the game progresses. Among the most popular RPG games is the Final Fantasy Series.
Real Time Strategy (RTS) - The gamer that enjoys getting challenged mentally will certainly get hooked by the video games in this series. Real Time Strategy video games are here to defy gamers' sensible ability and sense of reasoning. There is a big range available for gamers to pick from. However, the one that takes pleasure in utmost popularity is StarCraft II, illustrating a spellbinding war of the twenty-sixth century.
Enormously Multiplayer Online Games or MMOGs - the Internet savvy generation these days is frenzied by these video games. The underlying principle of this video game is online interaction of a large number of players. Their functional code may include Role-Playing Games, First Person Shooter games or Real Time Strategy video games and much more. These video games necessarily require a few gamers who are online all at once. The most preferred varieties of MMOGs are offered in 3D, which actually provides an incredible experience to gamers in reality.
Aside from the above mentioned extremely popular genre, you can likewise find computer games in the adventure, action and racing categories. You can explore the awesome world of pc gaming by delighting in different kinds of video games and therefore get informed of the latest trends and technically highly advanced video games, which are regularly released these days. Be cautioned, you'll surely discover some favorites and fall for them.

April 7, 2007
MORAGA, Calif. - The bats explode for the University of San Diego baseball team (26-12, 4-2 WCC) as they score 11 runs on 11 hits to claim a 11-1 win over Saint Mary's College (16-15-1, 0-6 WCC) Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Toreros have claimed a three-game sweep over the Gaels.
Matt Couch (5-2) was credited with the win on the mound for the Toreros as he had a solid outing on the mound. He allowed one run on six hits, while striking out seven in 7.0 innings of work.
The Toreros got on the scoreboard first as they scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning. Jordan Abruzzo got things started when he was hit by a pitch and he moved to second on a Shane Buschini walk. Abruzzo then advanced to third on an error by the SMC pitcher and Romanski then loaded the bases with a walk. Abruzzo would come across for the first run on a balk and Kevin Muno did the rest as he hit a two-run double down the left field line to give USD a 3-0 lead.
San Diego moved their lead to six runs in the top of the fifth inning. Kevin Hansen led off the inning with a stand-up double to left field and he moved to third on a Justin Snyder ground out to the second baseman. Sean Nicol brought in Hansen with a RBI single through the right side. After Nicol advanced one base on a wild pitch, Buschini delivered a RBI single through the right side to bring in Nicol for the second run of the inning. Logan Gelbrich then brought in the final run of the inning with a run-scoring double to give USD a 6-0 lead.
SMC scored their lone run of the game in their half of the fifth inning on a Joel Staples run-scoring double to right center field, which scored Gilbert Urbina, who had doubled, to cut the deficit to five at 6-1.
The Toreros then scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to put the game out of reach. The USD runs came on an Abruzzo RBI single, a Romanski sacrifice fly, a fielding error by the SMC third baseman and a Daniel Magness RBI single.
USD would score one more run in the top of the eighth inning on an Abruzzo RBI single to put the game at its final of 11-1.
Offensively for the Toreros, Abruzzo led the way as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI performance. Nicol also went 2-for-4 with one RBI and Snyder was the third USD player to record multiple hits as he went 2-for-5.
Anthony Aliotti (4-3) was saddled with the loss for the Gaels as he allowed three runs on one hit in 4.0 innings of work.
The Toreros will return to action on Tuesday as they return to the friendly confines of Cunningham Stadium for a 3 p.m. non-conference game against UC Riverside.

Although Flash's drawing capabilities are powerful, you probably want to import some graphics as well, and that's what I want to do with this image here. I have it opened in Photoshop, and it's called homeBkgd.jpg, and I just want to show you, if I go to Image > Image Size, that it's a 72 dpi image, and it is an RGB image as well, and it's actually set up to the height of my document in Flash. So I am going to cancel out of there, and I am also going to show you this homeForeground.png, because I want to import this file.
This happens to be a PNG file, so it has varying levels of transparency. So that's going to come across nicely. It is my foreground image and then lastly, what I want to do is import an Illustrator file, which I will get to in a little bit. But let me go back into Flash, and the first thing I need to do is create a new layer, and on this new layer, I am going to put in the background. So I am going to rename that layer to background, and I am just going to click and drag it underneath all of the current layers.
So with that layer selected, I am going to go to File > Import, and Import to Stage. Then I can locate the homeBkgd.jpg. But I do also want to point out all of the different file formats that you can import. There is quite a few in here. All of the popular file formats for images, video, and audio are able to be imported into Flash. I am importing a JPEG and a PNG file, as well an Illustrator file. But I am going to select this file and click Open, and there it is, on my stage.
You can see that graphic. With it selected, if I go to the Properties panel, you can see that it's an instance of the homeBkgd. But what this is missing are all of the various properties that you are able to control if it's a movie clip. So what if I want to, say, blur the background or give it a drop shadow or change its layer mode? Well, I have to convert that into a movie clip, and that's what I want to do next. Let's open up my Library panel. There is the JPEG, but in general, I am going to click and drag that into the Library panel to convert this to a symbol.
This symbol is going to be called background, and it's of the type: Movie Clip. Click OK, and now I can see in my Properties panel that I have sort of full control over this image now. All right, next step. I am going to create a new layer, and this new layer is for the foreground. With that layer selected, I am going to go to File > Import, and Import to Stage, and I will locate that PNG file.
I will click Open, and then there it appears on the stage: the image of the lady and the guy with unusually long legs. That's actually not going to be noticeable when I start animating it. But in general, I am going to do the same thing that I did earlier, just to click and drag that graphic into the Library panel and call it foreground, and it is going to be a movie clip as well. Click OK. Now that's set up. The last thing I want to import is actually going to be a logo from Illustrator.
So I want to show you that file. Here I am in Illustrator, and here is my graphic, and I'd like to point out, in the Layers panel, that there is only one layer, and it's called Logo. Now, I could have multiple layers with plenty of graphics, and what will happen is Flash will import all of those layers separately. Very powerful. In this case, it's just this Logo Illustrator file that I am going to import. So I am going to go back to Flash. In Flash, select any layer.
It really doesn't matter. I am just going to make sure it's not locked. But when I import this Illustrator file, it's actually going to create the layers for me, so I don't need to create my layers right now. So I am going to go to File > Import > Import > Import to Stage, locate that Illustrator file, it happens to be in the home folder, which is in our assets folder, and I will click Open. Then I am given this import wizard. Now, I can actually control how this is imported. What I want to do is I will just close up that layer, but in general, I want to select that layer and select Create movie clip, because I want to automatically convert this layer into a movie clip, and then make sure it gets positioned on its own Flash layer. Click OK.
There is my layer. You can see that it automatically adds that layer in my timeline called Logo. Now what I want to do is start positioning everything a little bit more appropriately, and when you start dealing with larger graphics, it's really hard to tell what the end user will see. Okay, so it's hard to tell where my stage ends. So what I can do is I can go to View, and uncheck Pasteboard. If I uncheck that Pasteboard, I don't see everything; I just see exactly what the user sees, and what they see is all within this area.
But now I can start to position everything and scale down this logo, position it in the upper-right, use my Selection tool and start to move some of these graphics around as well. Again, I am just building this layout that's going to be animated shortly, use my Free Transform tool, sort of manipulate that graphic kind of like that and lastly, let's hold down the Shift key and then just move that text into place, kind of like right down there.
I can even use my Arrow keys for repositioning my items. So I'd say everything looks pretty darn good. If you do happen to notice that you need to edit a graphic that's already imported, well Flash makes it easy, because what I can do is I can double-click on this movie clip here, which happens to be the foreground because I want to edit this image in general. So I can go ahead and double-click on it and what happens is now I am inside of the foreground movie clip, okay. When I am inside of this foreground movie clip, I can actually select this JPEG.
It says it's an instance of the homeForeground.jpg. But if I right-click on that graphic, I can then edit this graphic with Photoshop CS5. It opens up that image. Now I can start to adjust it. So, in this case, all I want to do is use the Dodge tool on some of the midtones to just bring her face out more and some of this other detail. Again, it's going to be subtle, but you can always do the edits you need to do in Photoshop, and once you are done with them, save the file and then go back into Flash.
Now, it might be subtle, but you will be able to see that her face is a little brighter, and now this is all set up. So I am going to click back on Scene 1, and now you can see that here are all my graphics, and now this is actually set up for me to do some animation.
