Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from essay:
Of these elements, they found anxiety sensitivity to be directly linked to lower levels of educational advancement. Anxiety sensitivity mainly comprises symptoms of anxiety leading to fear due to a certain belief that anxiety has dangerous somatic, psychological, or social penalties. In one study scholars found that the basic forms of fears were the playing field for a broad spectrum of fear-stimuli and they found that these basic forms of fear led to heightened levels of low educational advancement amongst teenage mothers (Singh and Darroch, 2000).
A group of researchers found facts that verified the philosophy that the dread of feeling anxious was more powerful then other fears. Nevertheless, they also stated that these basic fears were not the basis for all of the inconsistencies that were found in the ordinary fears and quality/character anxiety. This basically denoted that there were other unenthusiastic life incidents that could contribute to the aftermath of these basic fears. Hence, the stats that analyze the association between the basic fears and unenthusiastic life incidents could be utilized to analyze and foresee the occurrence as well as the extent of ordinary fears. Other elements that may influence fear are age, gender, and SES among others. Singh and Darroch (2000) found age and gender to be strong indicators of lower educational advancement amongst teenage mothers (Singh and Darroch, 2000).
In one study carried out on the link between anxiety and fear researchers studied children between the ages of 8 and 16. They concluded that the pattern of anxiety and fear was the same as found in the teenage mothers. This basically meant that higher anxiety levels led to higher fear levels and lower educational advancement, with the opposite being true as well (Singh and Darroch, 2000).
Fear, in terms of panic attacks, amongst pregnant and teenage mothers has only in the past decade or so caught the attention of the researchers. Some researchers, however, had an opposing view of panic attack patterns. These studies showed that most panic attacks began at the age of adolescence, not before, and were more common for the females and even more common for teenage mothers. These females are highly prone to lower levels of educational advancements (Singh and Darroch, 2000).
There have many studies done on the American teenage mothers and the incidence of the impulsive panic attacks amongst them. Most of the results showed that nearly 60% of the teenage mothers had panic attacks and they were more common amongst females then the males. Other researches also showed statistics that confirmed that teenage mothers suffered from higher levels of panic attacks and hence they were more likely to have increased degrees of anxiety and lower educational advancement (Singh and Darroch, 2000).
The impact of self-developed coping-strategies on teenage mother educational advancement
Studies have found that the phase of turning from an adolescent to a teenage parent is the phase where the identity crises occur for most children. Furthermore, it is during this transition that the teenage mother starts to deal on a larger scale with the psychosocial realities and starts to develop their tackling or coping capabilities and tactics. A group of researchers found that this coping procedure or phase is very under researched and rarely comprehended. Another group of researchers in their study explained that this was because the teenage mothers had a whole structure of coping tactics and none of those tactics were used in frequency or regular consistencies. Another unknown area about the coping tactics is whether they are part of the overall characteristics or whether they have been observed before being practiced. Some of the elements that influence the coping tactics are gender, society, customs, maturity, family structure and family conditions among others. Researchers found that teenage mothers who were able to execute successful coping strategies were highly likely to experience higher levels of Educational advancement. They found the opposite to be true for those teenage mothers who failed to practice a coping strategy (Weinstock, Stuart, and Willard, 2004).
The impact of social settings on teenage mother educational advancement
According to Bronfenbrenner (1989) the social system is basically a personality or character structure (Bronfenbrenner, 1989). So when considering this system, educational advancement of teenage mothers gets influenced by biological, personal as well as social elements like the family, contemporaries, and social institutions. All these elements can influence the educational advancement directly through joint contacts and/or personal dedication of the teenage mother. Kohn (1989) found that exo-systems - external social settings -- can also at times influence the educational advancement of teenage mothers. One of the examples of exo-systems is the occupational choices of the parents, these occupational choices will structure the overall parenting approach as well as the familial norms, principles and habits, which as a result will influence the path of the teenage mother's mental growth (Kohn, 1989). The exo-system can also influence her mental growth outside of the domain of the parental attitudes. Teenage mothers can analyze the future contributions that they can make by analyzing the social structure that exists outside of their family like the gender differentiations within the social sphere. Orr and Dinur (1995) found that occupational choices made by parents and social structures surrounding the teenage mothers significantly impact their educational advancement (Dinur and Orr, 1995).
There is very little disagreement on the fact that personal growth of an individual is affected by his educational advancement. The differences arrive in how this affect is represented and what is the background behind the conclusions made. The social scientists tend to rely on the phenomena of personality (Rosenberg, 1991), self-assessment (Harter, 1983), self-respect (Wylie, 1968), self-conception (Marsh, 1990a) as well as, confidence or self-worth (Harter, 1983). There are numerous researches as well where these aforementioned concepts are calculated on a global free-of-ideals structure (e.g., Rosenberg, 1991), with the help of the specific calculative stats of spheres (e.g., Piers and Harris, 1969), and additional calculative stats of other realms (e.g., Marsh, 1990a; Harter, 1983, and Wylie, 1979).
The pattern of these studies exhibits two facts:
1. The degree of self-evaluations, i.e., the different collection of the various definitions and elements of self-concept, and
2. The structure of the self-concept philosophy, i.e., the system of associations and link between the different elements.
This stack of facts and stats gives the researcher the opportunity to analyze and form conclusions about the numerous detached and widespread influences that the social environments have on a teenage mother's educational advancement. Dinur and Orr (1995) found that the structure of the self-concept theory helps the individual to use these facts to his advantage so that he/she can cope and tackle with the situations on a general scale. If the development of an individual is dependent upon the association of the self-concept then it safe to say the self-concept of parents, or peers, or other social factors will have a strong influence on the teenage mothers' development and educational advancement (Dinur and Orr, 1995).
Harter (1983) found that the theory of self-concept varies with the ages, cultures and populations, and this variation is one of the propelling forces for many researchers to study the multifaceted nature of the self-concept (Harter, 1983; Marsh, 1990a). Dinur and Orr (1995) argued that these studies lack the social environment or changes that effect the formation of the self-concept. Also not many studies have been conducted implementing the multifaceted nature of the self-concept on the choices and communication of the teenage mother with his/her environment. The researches done thus far have concentrated on the gender preferences amongst different societies and have only exhibit the association of certain social environments with specific ideals of the self-concept philosophies (Weinstock, Stuart, and Willard, 2004).
Rosenberg and Pearlin (1978) in their study tried to classify some of the main components that make up the structure of the self-concept philosophy. They classified the opinion of significant others like family members or friends as an integral component along with all the facts that were collected from self-evaluation, recognition and acknowledgment of what is vital or important and assessments of their social relationships. They also explained that when these classifications are expanded then one can see how they are influenced by the peripheral third parties or testimonial factions within the social setup. Similarly, empirical studies of relations between social setting and self-concept variables reported discrete contingencies (Weinstock, Stuart, and Willard, 2004).
In relation to the self-concept phenomenon, numerous researches have also carried out studies with the focus being on the different gender preferences in different social environments; and interestingly, all of the researches done, on the two factors, show unforeseen links or happenings in their association. A large number of the studies done in the western societies have shown that the teenage mothers are the ones that experience higher levels of low educational advancement then teenage fathers and they also explain how this is more common within specific…[continue]

Teen Pregnancy in Los Angeles Provide a reasonable description, with sufficient detail, of how this health concern is linked to a health inequality for the population of interest In the case of Los Angles, California the teen pregnancy rate is the highest in comparison with the rest of the state. However, in a study that was conducted by Biggs (2011), she determined that the largest group (who have the most teen pregnancy
According to Tamara Kreinin, president of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S., "Manipulating facts about condoms is using a scare tactic to try and get kids not to be sexually active" (Morse, 2002). One of the consequences of a lack of full and complete information to youth actually causes self-imposed ignorance of their own safety. If adolescents do not get the proper education on protecting themselves from
Teenage pregnancy can be defined as pregnancy that occurs in young females aged under 20 years (Dickins, Johns, & Chipman, 2012). In Western civilization, teenage pregnancy is treated negatively, because young females are expected to study and only give birth once they have reached maturity or over 20 years. Teenage pregnancy disrupts and affects a teenager's education, as they now have responsibilities that might affect their education. The National Campaign
Abortion trends varied widely by state as well. "Teenage abortion rates were highest in New York (41 per 1,000), New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware and Connecticut.

More than half of teenage pregnancies ended in abortion in New Jersey, New York and

This large number was selected to ensure that the power of statistical tests used in the study is of sufficient power to draw valid conclusions.

All participants selected will be taken from
The result of this, as seen above, is that these mothers lack job skills, making it difficult not only to find employment that could adequately support themselves and their children, but also to retain these jobs once they find them. The result is that about 64% of children born under such conditions live in poverty, compared to 7% of children born to married women older than 20 and who

Estimating the reliability of test results
This report reviews research in the field of 'reliability' and presents a range of statistical processes for measuring reliability.
The aim of this report is to help to provide as far as possible a framework to describe, interpret and assess reliability estimates from different sources. It discusses what is meant by measurement and its reliability, and outlines approaches to estimating it.
It describes, in a relatively nontechnical format, a range of statistics currently used or proposed for measuring reliability, under three headings:
- classical test theory (CTT)
- item response theory (IRT)
- grading into a relatively small number of categories.
The report also describes a 2007 case-study looking at the reliability of key stage 2.

BILOTTAv.SECRETARY OF EDUCATION AND EASTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT, INTERVENING APPELLEE
Appeal from the Order of the Secretary of Education in case of Appeal of Frank Bilotta, No. 210, order of July 23, 1972.
George Weitzman, with him Goodman & Weitzman, for appellant.
Edward A. Miller, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Carl F. Skinner, for intervening appellee.
President Judge Bowman and Judges Crumlish, Jr., Kramer, Wilkinson, Jr., Mencer, Rogers and Blatt. Opinion by Judge Wilkinson.
[ 8 Pa. Commw. Page 632]
Appellant was employed by Easton Area School District in 1959 as a teacher. In October, 1966, appellant became Acting Director of the Title I program. In 1969, he was appointed Director of Title I and Reading Coordinator. In 1971, while appellant was on a sabbatical leave, the School District approved an administrative
[ 8 Pa. Commw. Page 633]
reorganization that included, inter alia, the elimination of the position of Director of Title I and Reading Coordinator. When appellant returned from his sabbatical leave, he was assigned to teach English in the District with a decrease in salary. He requested and was given a hearing before the School Board. The Board approved the previous action. Appellant filed an appeal from the School Board decision with the Secretary of Education and a hearing was held. After making appropriate findings of fact, reviewing the testimony in appropriate detail, and presenting a clear discussion of the facts and the law applicable in this case, the Secretary of Education dismissed the appeal. This was followed by appellant's appeal to this Court with a request for a hearing de novo. See Section 1132 of School Code of 1949, Act of March 10, 1949, P.L. 30, Art. XI, as amended, 24 P.S. § 11-1132, and Section 403 of Appellate Court Jurisdiction Act of 1970, Act of July 31, 1970, P.L. 673, as amended, 17 P.S. § 211.403. The de novo hearing was held, a record made, and argument was had before this Court. We must affirm the action of the Secretary of Education.
The appellant rests his case on the merits on his allegation that the action of the Board in demoting him was arbitrary, capricious and discriminatory. No good purpose would be served by here repeating or even summarizing the evidence on which appellant relies. He presented testimony that he believes establishes that the Board discriminated against him because, as President of the Professional Employees' Association of the District, he questioned certain Board action which resulted in that action being declared improper. He follows this with evidence that he asserts establishes that this resulted in his having action on his application for sabbatical leave delayed, having an audit of a harassing nature made of his books, having his position abolished,*fn1
[ 8 Pa. Commw. Page 634]
and not having favorable consideration for other administrative appointments for which he was qualified. In view of the testimony of the School District's witnesses, we find on the record before this Court, as the Secretary found on the record before him, that the appellant has not met the burden of proof required to reverse the Board's action. Lakeland Joint School District v. Gilvary, 3 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 415, 283 A.2d 500 (1971).
The law in Pennsylvania today on the basic issues in this case is ably set forth by Chief Justice Jones (then Justice Jones) in a detailed opinion in Smith v. Darby School District, 388 Pa. 301, 130 A.2d 661 (1957).
The appellant raises one other point that must be discussed with regard to the vote of the Board following his hearing. Seven of the nine-member Board were present. Four voted approval of the action, two voted against, and one abstained. It is appellant's position that it required the affirmative vote of a majority of the full Board, i.e., five affirmative votes for the Board to approve the transfer resulting in his demotion.
Section 508 of the Public School Code of 1949, 24 P.S. § 5-508, sets forth in detail those actions which require an affirmative vote of the majority of the members of the entire Board. It does not include transfer or demotion. Appellant attempts to "come in the back door" by developing that Section 1151 of the Public School Code of 1949, 24 P.S. § 11-1151, establishes that the right to a hearing and appeal in demotion matters shall be as in the case of dismissal. As clearly developed by the Secretary of Education in his opinion, we hold this relates merely to the procedure of the appeal,
[ 8 Pa. Commw. Page 635]
not to the vote after the hearing. To hold otherwise would dictate that a two-thirds vote of the entire Board was necessary. See Section 1129 of the Code, 24 P.S. § 11-1129. Chief Justice Jones' opinion in Smith, supra, puts to rest any doubt as to whether the substance of a demotion hearing is to be decided as if it were a dismissal.
Appellant attempts to insert in this case that the position of Title I Director and Reading Coordinator had been reestablished by the Board in September of 1972, and that appellant is entitled to fill it. Suffice it to say that that is not properly before this Court in this action.
Accordingly, we enter the following
And Now, May 3, 1973, the preliminary objections of the Secretary of Education to the inclusion of the Department of Education as a party appellee are dismissed, and the order of the Secretary of Education, dated July 23, 1972, which dismissed the appeal of Frank Bilotta from the decision of demotion by the Board of School Directors of the Easton Area School District, is affirmed.

small climbs but overall pretty tame....
Awesome trails easy to follow directions and did the bridges trail is a lot of fun
Excellent hiking with my 8 year old son today. Trails are definitely kid friendly and the woods are beautiful! Glad Mr. Clayton didn't sell land for logging. Great stand of old trees through out park.
Ero N. on Clayton County Park Trails
A great trail for running because of the nice dirt trails and because it isn't particularly rocky. Well marked even though the trails are really well used and obvious. For a circuit trail run, this park is ideal!
Love this place, it's hard to find a good hike in New Jersey and this place is beautiful and has a lot to explore
For the first time ever going through the trail it was very easy. Beautiful sites to see and great to bring the dogs along!
Pretty easy well marked trails.
It was a nice first time ride. the canopy is pretty thick so it does block light rain.
An awesome ride...areas of rough terrain and lots of hills. Challenging and fun!
Definitely a nice hike - was able to make 4.5 miles out of it going the long way around. Not very challenging but does have some inclines and soft terrain. Recommended for a nice afternoon hike
These directions are inaccurate. There is nothing but woods and fields at those coordinates. But a quarter of a mile further down the road is Clayton Park Trails. Does anyone have the accurate address?
Excellent informational kiosks throughout the park.
Cool there are wild blueberries on the side of the trail and they have plaques that identify the different plant species.
Awesome place for hiking and riding mountain bikes. One of my favorites
Awesome! Empty during the week & well maintained yet challenging trails. I combined a few to get in 5 miles. It's deer hunting season right now so I was a bit alarmed I'd see a hunter- but thankfully for me (and the deer), I didn't. Trails are well marked & I love the hills & rough terrain (roots galore)!

Founder of Children Mending Hearts
Lysa Heslov is a Director and Producer who is also the Founder of Children Mending Hearts, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth in the US by connecting them with an international community of children in need through educational and humanities programs that build empathy and global citizenry.
In 2005, after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Lysa and her husband, opened their home to a family that had lost everything in the storm. For five months the families co-existed, offering her a new way to look at her life, and eventually a new career. Soon after, the death of her best friend and sister-in-law inspired Lysa to raise over $40,000 for cancer research, firmly establishing herself as a working philanthropist and true humanitarian.
In 2007, Lysa's efforts became more focused when she participated in an aid trip to Darfur's refugee camps where she witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of genocide and poverty. Moved profoundly by this experience, Lysa's mind turned to at-risk children in the United States, and, soon thereafter, she created Children Mending Hearts (CMH). Lysa's dream is to empower at-risk children in the United States by giving them a global education and connecting them internationally to children in need. CMH uses educational and art programs to facilitate a new world-view, one without borders, motivated by empathy and a desire for peace. She imagines the day when all disadvantaged youth are proud global citizens who realize their ability to effect change not only in their own lives, but also in their community and around the world.
With CMH, Lysa has traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Darfur, Kenya, Rwanda and Haiti as well as several cities in the United States where she, and her team of professionals, have served thousands of children with arts workshops specifically designed to empower and connect children worldwide.
In 2012, Lysa launched her flagship program – CMH Global Arts After School, a dynamic arts-based enrichment program that creates global awareness, develops international relationships, builds social activism and fosters empathy in disadvantaged youth. Starting with only 20 students at one site in south central Los Angeles, CMH Global Arts After School has rapidly expanded and currently serves approximately 500 students each week at 6 different sites throughout Los Angeles. In huge demand (there is a waiting list for these classes!), CMH Global Arts After School is on track to expand steadily within the city of Los Angeles, and national expansion is slated to begin in Fall 2014.
In addition to having a heart for children all over the world, Lysa is proud mother to Olivia and Maya, her two beautiful daughters with her husband Grant Heslov, Academy Award winning producer/writer and director. They also have four lovable dogs Sammy, Lacey, Charlie and Apple.
In an effort to continue to serve children in the most meaningful way, Lysa is currently studying for her Masters in Child Development and is always seeking new opportunities to expand her message.
- In January 2009, Lysa traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo to conduct an art exchange between at-risk children in the U.S. and their brothers and sisters in Africa.
- In Darfur, Lysa facilitated kite-building workshops, which ultimately culminated in the first-ever Darfur Kite Festival.
- In February 2010, she again returned to the DR Congo, this time traveling with Women for Women International. Lysa and her team conducted letter writing, painting and puppet-making workshops with refugee children, as well as children of the women enrolled in the WFW training programs in Bukavu. They also traveled to the southern end of Lake Kivu where they worked with children in an orphanage.
- In September 2010, Lysa and her team worked with over 900 at-risk children at a Global Arts Exchange Workshop. The children wrote letters, painted t-shirts and created scrapbooks to be given to the children in Haiti.
- Lysa traveled to Haiti in February 2011 where she worked with over 600 children in the camps for Artist's for Peace & Justice and Sean Penn's camp, J/P Haitian Relief Organization.
- In addition to her work in Haiti, Lysa spearheaded the Panty Up! Campaign, encouraging children in the US to collect over 5,000 pairs of new underwear for Haitian children in need of them.
- CMH has worked with over 10,000 children in the past four years.
- CMH partners include After-School All-Stars, Watts-Willowbrook Boys & Girls Club, Ben Affleck's Eastern Congo Initiative, Children Uniting Nations, CoachArt, Sean Penn's J/P HRO, Artists for Peace & Justice, International Medical Corps and Women For Women International
Executive Director
During her career as an Executive Director, Development Director and Live Event Producer for non-profit organizations, Lainie Strouse has raised millions of dollars for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Writers Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, and many others. She consistently finds new revenue streams, helps nonprofits reduce costs, and creates opportunities for them to grow organically while staying true to their mission.
As Executive Director of Children Mending Hearts, Lainie has direct impact on young people's lives through free education, expanding children's minds to other cultures, and giving them a safe place to grow and become their best selves. Lainie has grown the board extensively, increased brand awareness, and expanded the programs CMH makes available to communities in need.
In addition to her charitable accomplishments, Lainie has also enjoyed success across a broad spectrum of the entertainment industry. An accomplished TV and film producer, her latest project, "Teacher of the Year," starring Keegan-Michael Key, is now available on Netflix. She also produced PBS's "The Write Environment" and live award shows for the Producers Guild of America, the Makeup & Hairstyle Guild, the Los Angeles Film Critics Society, and many others. As an actress, Lainie had recurring roles on ABC's "General Hospital" and CW's "Wicked, Wicked Games."

Bio coming soon...
Communications Associate & Digital Media Strategist
Katherine Canipe came to Los Angeles by way of a small rural town in North Carolina seven years ago and is so proud to call this city home! As a child, she was fascinated by other cultures and desperate to learn all she could about the world around her. Her parents nurtured this instinct, instilling in her both an insatiable love of learning and the importance of giving back; as a result she has been involved in various charitable work over the years, including volunteering as a companion at senior living centers and with Special Olympics of Southern California.
Katherine holds Bachelors Degrees in both Dramatic Art and English Literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Performing as often as possible as an actor, singer, voice over artist and dancer all over L.A., she is passionate about social media, juggling at least 4 accounts at any given time, with CMH as her primary focus. When she's not Tweeting and blogging about CMH, Katherine is probably watching a spooky movie, and you can usually measure her happiness by how far away she is from Halloween. She loves children and CMH programming beyond words, and her belief in this organization and its goals has grown every day since she came on board in 2013.

CHERE D. WARD, AN INDIVIDUAL,PLAINTIFF,v.TOM VILSACK, SECRETARY DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE,DEFENDANT.
ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION TO MODIFY PRETRIAL SCHEDULE (Doc. #25) AND CONTINUE DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (Doc. #22)
The Stipulation to Modify Pretrial Schedule (Dkt. No. 25) and Continue Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. No. 22) filed herein on August 25, 2011 (Dkt. No. 26), is hereby APPROVED, as follows:The deadlines set forth in the July 22, 2011 "Order Approving Stipulation to Modify December 1, 2010 Pretrial Scheduling Order and Continue Date for Hearing of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment" (Dkt. No. 25), shall be modified (extended) as follows:Law and Motion cut-off: October 6, 2011 (from September 15,2011) Final Pretrial Conference: January 18, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. (from December 14, 2011), before U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller, in Courtroom 3; a joint pretrial statement is due by January 4, 2012.
Trial: April 2, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. (from March 5, 2012), before U.S.District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller, in Courtroom 3
It is hereby ORDERED that:
1. Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 22) currently scheduled for hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman on September 15, 2011, shall be continued to October 6, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 25 of the Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse, 501 I Street, Sacramento, California.
2. Plaintiff shall file and serve her opposition or statement of non-opposition to defendant's motion for summary judgment by no later than September 15, 2011.
3. Defendant shall file and serve its reply brief by no later than September 29, 2011, in accordance with Local Rule 230(d).
4. As this is the second extension the court has granted with respect to the summary judgment briefing and trial dates in this action, the court is not inclined to grant further extensions absent a significant showing of good cause. Further, the court notes that the requested extension was filed on August 25, 2011, the very same day of plaintiff's deadline to file her opposition to the pending summary judgment motion. (Dkt. No. 25.) Eastern District Local Rule 144(d) provides that "Counsel shall seek to obtain a necessary extension from the Court or from other counsel or parties in an action as soon as the need for an extension becomes apparent. Requests for Court-approved extensions brought on the required filing date for the pleading or other document are looked upon with disfavor." Accordingly, future requests for extensions that are filed on the day of the deadline at issue may be summarily denied.

Purdue Gas Turbine Combustion Facility (GTCF). Developed by: Bob Lucht and Colleagues
Gas Turbines
Purdue has a strong research program in gas turbine research. Profs. Key and Paniagua are investigating compressors and turbines, respectively, for power-generating gas turbines. Profs. Lucht, Slabaugh, Heister, and Meyer are studying advanced combustion concepts for future power-generating gas turbine systems. Prof. Anderson performs research on combustion instabilities in these systems. The research of these faculty members is characterized by the extensive use of advanced high-speed laser diagnostics including particle imaging velocimetry and planar laser-induced fluorescence. The power-generating gas turbine research efforts will be greatly enhanced by the installation of a new air heater system, providing non-vitiated air to the test rigs at temperatures as high as 1100 K and flow rates up to 4 kg/s, and by the new test rig facility that will come online in early 2017.

This blow dryer is by far my most favorite blow dryer I have ever owned. I love the vintage rose print on it. The picture is very true to real life. The description says it is quiet, and it is quiet compared to my last one, though it is still not honestly quiet. That is not really important to me though. I love that it is so lightweight. I love the cute carrying case it comes with. I am thrilled with this purchase5

Henry taps the altimeter with an old-school cell phone and then shrugs. "Fucker says we're 10,000 feet underground. Piece of shit"
"What do you expect? The plane's been sitting in a barn for thirty years."
I'm stirring Phenobarbital into milk that I've flavoured with vanilla. It's for Souta who's asleep in the back of the plane.
Henry picks up the bottle, reads the label and shakes his head.
"Some poor dog somewhere isn't going to get his epilepsy medicine. What did Pluto ever do to you?"
"He knows what he did. What's with the phone?"
"I like choices."
Before I get a chance to ask him what he means, Souta snorts himself awake and looks up at us.
"Hey buddy, how are you going?"
He frowns and squints, his mouth working up and down like he's chewing cud. Finally some brain cells get themselves in order.
"We're on a plane."
"Yeah. I'm James and he's Henry. You're Souta."
He narrows his eyes to slits. He's Japanese so they practically disappear.
"I know my damn name."
He looks out the window and thumps his cane on the floor.
"Always a fucking pleasure Souta." Henry turns back to the plane readings although we're on autopilot and there's nothing for him to do.
"Do you remember why you let yourself get past fifty?" I ask him.
He moves his lips but nothing else. He doesn't remember.
"Got your drink for you. Here it is."
I hand him the drink and he downs it in two gulps and then wipes his mouth as to show me he isn't 1) Old and decrepit 2) losing his memory and 3) Fuck you.
"We're going to meet in Melbourne, Australia. On the steps of Flinders Street Station. Lunchtime. Don't forget."
"I won't forget," he says and then looks out the window again with the accompanying thump of his cane.
I turn back to Henry who is looking out down at the ocean below us. It's a deep green with light patches where coral has risen up.
"Twenty minutes of fuel. If that's right." He taps the fuel gauge with the phone and the needle trembles down into the bottom quarter.
Souta takes that moment to snore and drop his cane. Old age and the phenobarbital has kicked in. He'll stop breathing in about a half hour.
"I don't know why he lets himself get that way."
"Dude needs a reminder service. We should set that up. Every twenty years we sent some guy to his furniture store and blow his brains out."
I nod and look out the window at nothing in particular. We all have our patterns. Souta gets into the furniture business at some point. I plant a lemon tree. Henry gets some girl's name tattooed on him.
Just then the engines cough and die and now we're gliding in silence.
Henry taps the fuel gauge but it stays stuck at a quarter.
"Fucking piece of shit."
"We're crashing at high speed right?"
Henry wiggles the phone in front of my face and does his eyebrows at the same time.
"That's option one. Option two is I dial and we blow ourselves into a million pieces."
"So that's why we had a hard time getting up."
"Yeah, there's a few pounds of C4."
I look down at the ocean below. Dark, green and wet. I fucking hate drowning and even going top speed in a full dive is no guarantee. I feel my stomach start to churn with nerves. No matter how many times, I still get like this. Before my mouth starts to water (symptom number two) I tell Henry to dial the fucking bomb.
"See you in a month motherfuckers," he says and dials.
Boom, baby.
Dirt and dark and something is sticking in my back and it's fucking hot.
I try to roll over and I hit my shoulder on some wood a few inches above me. I'm under a house in the dirt. I grab some rungs above me to pull myself along towards the light, scratching the hell out of my back. I get to the edge but the wood paneling of the house comes down so far it only leaves a few inches gap. I look around but I can't see any access. The wood is firmly in place but a few good kicks should get it free.
I turn around and am about to give it my best when I hear a door slam and then footsteps. I wait until the footsteps disappear down the road. Heels on concrete. Businesswoman going to work. Once I can't hear the heels clacking I start kicking. Three good kicks and I smash the panelling.
I go out feet first and crush a bunch of flowers with my back. I roll over and get up. The crushed flowers are white and now have splotches of blood all over them. I'm in some suburban backyard. I look around but nothing gives me a clue as to location.
I bend over to get a closer look at the plants and this is when a small Japanese woman steps around the corner holding a baseball bat.
"Get out of here!"
She waves the bat but doesn't move.
I cover up my dick and balls but I already know this doesn't look good. I'm covered in dirt and I'm bleeding and it's pretty clear I was under her house. I try the old lie anyway.
"I was attacked by a group of thugs. Please can you-"
She cuts me off with a swipe of the bat.
"Get the fuck out of here junkie!"
She starts walking towards me and swinging.
She's small but she's swinging that bat like she knows how to use it. I turn, take two steps and then jump the white picket fence.
"I'm calling the cops!"
Inside she goes and that's my cue to get the fuck out of there. I head off at a steady jog down the road.
Three streets away I see a house with clothes drying on the porch. I bolt up and take a pair of men's pants and a Hawaiian shirt with a dolphin on the front of it. The house looks empty but I don't take my chances breaking in. The cops will be cruising this area soon.
Now that I'm dressed I'm starting to feel better. First clothes then shoes then money then some food and then I'll work out where the fuck I am and what date it is and-
"Police. Stop right there. Put your hands behind your head."
Holy fuck they were quiet. Did they turn the engine off and glide up the street? Electric car maybe?
I put my hands behind my head and turn around. By the accents I know I'm in America somewhere and that's bad news when it comes to law enforcement. Into custody, so many questions, computer databases, photographs … oh fuck me.
My stomach starts to churn and my mouth starts to water. I put my hands by my sides and begin to walk towards the cops. Walking towards drawn guns. I hate this nearly as much as drowning.
Henry and Souta are going to have to wait it out for me.
"I have a bomb strapped to my body. Kill me!"
I march towards them as they start to shout instructions. There is a young cop and an old cop. I head towards him. Hopefully he's killed someone before and I don't want to fuck up some guy just in the force.
I start yelling a bunch of ridiculous religion.
The old cop starts to squint as he aims.
Snow and cold and wind and fuck me I'm on a ledge on some mountain somewhere. I look up and there's nowhere to go. I look down and it's a sheer cliff face. Even if I was fully equipped with a team of Sherpas and a helicopter I'd never get down or up from here. I don't feel like falling to my death or landing with two broken bones and then dying of thirst over a few days.
My teeth are chattering by the time I lay back down in the snow.
I try to work out how late I'm going to be to Melbourne when I go past cold and start feeling warm. Hypothermia. The warm embrace.
I relax and try to monitor the moment but like trying to catch the instant you slip into sleep it eludes me.
On the edge of darkness I think about Emily and wonder where she is right now. Probably running some coffee bar. That's her pattern.
I'm thinking about hot coffee and delicious biscuits when I slip away.
Heat and dry and then a bucket of water splashing on my face.
"Get the fuck out of my yard."
I scramble to my feet to find an angry old man in front of me with an empty red bucket in his hands.
"Batchelor party," I mumble, covering myself up and trying to look like a drunken groomsman or possible drunken fiancé.
"Where are your fucking clothes?"
I finally get the accent – Australian. So long as he doesn't shoot me (or some deadly snake, spider, falling bear kills me) then this is a sign my luck has finally turned.
"My friends stripped me off. I was wasted mate."
He stares at me for a moment and I wonder if I went too far with the mate. They're tricky the Australians. Their friends they call cunts and their enemies they call mate – unless they're in a different mood and then it swaps around.
"Come inside and I'll get you some clothes. Just don't throw up and cover up that cock. Don't want the wife getting any ideas."
He's talking flat and dry but then I see his lips twitch and I get it that he's taking the piss. That's another thing the Australian's do. They take the piss – stir shit – pull your leg.
"Thanks," I say and follow him back into the house.
Novel fragment. I've written many versions of this story trying to work out how to bring in tension and terror if the main character just comes back to life a month later…
Currently, (as in 9:11am on the 24th April 2013) I have a theme called Skeptical installed. It has a great features but of course as soon as you change anything, you break something. Case in point being a giant book cover a few posts down that now hangs out over the side-bar.
Then you start hitting barriers … have the developers built in the function to alter the width of the posts? Will I need to edit the php myself? What else will that break?
What I really like about Skeptical is that you can insert an image as the thumbnail for the post. You end up with a really beautiful blog once you start doing it. Of course when you have hundreds of entries already, it doesn't work so well.
If you want to check out Skeptical you can find it here.
***Argh, more broken posts! More images too big or posts with no image at all but it's showing a broken image link. Urgle bargle gurgle.***
I'm in the midst of updating my project list for a job application and it is taking forever. How many children's activity books does one person need to write in a lifetime?
I wish there was some way to find out who had written the most books in the world. I know R.L. Stine has some 300 titles (although there is the claim of ghost-writing). I think I've written more children's activity books than anyone else in the world … but how would I prove it?
Once I've finished then I'll post the project list up here.
(Goes back to typing)
My new eBook science-fiction novella Spire is now available at Amazon!
In the future there is just one city.
Home to millions, it is a single spike of civilization surrounded by an eternal storm.
The roaring winds keep the bad things out and the people in.
But now the storm is moving…
…and one man has found a way to escape.
From the quite amazing Karri Klawiter comes my new eBook cover. Spire!
(Not out yet. Still whacking the story into shape. News to come, etc, etc.)
Those angels with their words
Morning fresh, hastily dressed
A new day and they're out the door
Last night fading away
A bar, a whisper, a kiss
A bite on the arm and wings
Halo slipping off
Angel out the door and away
To carry on their good work
Loving the lost, the lonely
In direct application
The deal, my love:
Some biting, sure
A few fights
Some string, tight
Perhaps some kneeling
Supplication and submission
Perhaps some shouting
The deal, fair no?
Tell me once more
Your demands
Yes my darling heart it's true what I wrote
Not just some story, not just some poem
Not an idle twist of words from imagination
But crisp truth pulled together and presented
That story about the girl with the piercing?
That poem about tying the other one up?
That line about dark-eyed hordes?
Those words were true true true
Of course those other ones were true too
The servants made out of candy and my jelly horse
Travelling to the sun and back, charring six good men
The ghost of the robot who lurks downstairs
Before I met you I lived an extraordinary life
That scar on my hand isn't from some simple mistake
Those made-up words I use aren't made up at all
I learned a language in the afternow and fought the hazelburbs
I whilloped well and zambolled most eagerly
I only returned to dally with you a moment
Then it is back to my adventures!
ALL that matters!
(as a cat)
is to purr and chase and get a little warm spot to sleep
ALL that matters!
(as a fish)
is swim in the group and think about architecture
ALL that matters!
(as a building)
is to stand perfectly still so they don't know you're alive
ALL that matters!
(as a planet)
is to tease a star but never kiss
ALL that matters!
(as an elf)
is to live in a gumdrop house and invest in the share market
ALL that matters!
(as a jew)
is to make jokes about doctors/lawyers and be a doctor/lawyer
ALL that matters!
(as a particle)
is to steal beer and fuck your best friend's wife
ALL that matters!
is ALL that matters!
