Synopsis: In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five....In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge.
Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens -- until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath, the town's residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, could be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.
Nineteen Minutes is New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult's most raw, honest, and important novel yet. Told with the straightforward style for which she has become known, it asks simple questions that have no easy answers: Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike back? And who -- if anyone -- has the right to judge someone else?
Review: Best known for tackling controversial issues through richly told fictional accounts, Jodi Picoult's 14th novel, Nineteen Minutes, deals with the truth and consequences of a smalltown high-school shooting. Set in Sterling, New Hampshire, Picoult offers reads a glimpse of what would cause a 17-year-old to wake up one day, load his backpack with four guns, and kill nine students and one teacher in the span of nineteen minutes. As with any Picoult novel, the answers are never black and white, and it is her exceptional ability to blur the lines between right and wrong that make this author such a captivating storyteller.
On Peter Houghton's first day of kindergarten, he watched helplessly as an older boy ripped his lunch box out of his hands and threw it out the window. From that day on, his life was a series of humiliations, from having his pants pulled down in the cafeteria, to being called a freak at every turn. But can endless bullying justify murder? As Picoult attempts to answer this question, she shows us all sides of the equation, from the ruthless jock who loses his ability to speak after being shot in the head, to the mother who both blames and pities herself for producing what most would call a monster. Surrounding Peter's story is that of Josie Cormier, a former friend whose acceptance into the popular crowd hangs on a string that makes it impossible for her to reconcile her beliefs with her actions.
At times, Nineteen Minutes can seem tediously stereotypical-- jocks versus nerds, parent versus child, teacher versus student. Part of Picoult's gift is showing us the subtleties of these common dynamics, and the startling effects they often have on the moral landscape. As Peter's mother says at the end of this spellbinding novel, "Everyone would remember Peter for nineteen minutes of his life, but what about the other nine million?" --Gisele Toueg

Crabtree from a calm-faced rancher to a keen-eyed hunter with the stock of a shotgun squeezed against hic shoulder is the flitting shadow- of a Jaybird or the raucous racket of a hidden crow. "I like to make war on 'em," Crabtree said, hefting his shotgun and looking over his pecan grove with anticipation. "And when I figure I need help on the shooting job. I furnish 22 shells to neighbors. . .Don t waste much time myself with 22 bullets, though. I can take this old scat-tergun sometimes and bring down crows and jaybirds on the wing." Crabtree, a 68-year old pecan grower whose home is nine miles southwest of Ada, makes war on pests of all descriptions, from pecan weevils on up to pesky fowl. But the shooting of crows and jaybirds in his pecan orchard below the house is an interesting annual affair. And a lengthy one. It gets underway as soon as the nuts have "goodies" in them, and goes on daily until the trees are finally "thrashed." "Early morning is the best time for this kind of shooting." Crabtree said. "And jaybirds furnish more and easier targets. They're the most damaging birds we have, too, as far as pecans are concerned They're worse than crows A crow will maneuver into a grove of pecans in a sly way, and maybe gel one nut in his beak and fly off to a dead tree or a stump somew-here and sit there a long time and eat it. But jaybirds stay busy as bees gathering pollen for honey, pull ing pecans and flying away somewhere and then coming right back for more. I don't know what thev do with them. Must store 'em up." John Crabtree is widely known as an outstanding grower of upland pecans, having exhibited regularly since 1939 at Oklahoma Pecan Growers Association shows. During all these years he has seldom failed to win top honors. Crabtree came to Pontotoc County 47 years ago and settled in I the Wilson community. He has been on the same place since 1913, when he first bought 70 acres of partly cleared land. He now ow-ns 110 acres and practically every tree on his place is pecan. However, it wasn't that way at first. "I first started growing cotton and corn, like everyone else," Crabtree said, "and I wasn't satisfied just farming the land I owned. I leased other cropland and went all out for row crops until the beginning of depression days. . .Then I heard a story about a man who had settled on just ten acres and some neighbors asked the man. "Do you think you can make a living on ten acres of land?" The man thought about the question a while, then said. "If I can't. I'll let half the ten lay out and make a good living on five." Crabtree said the little story was perhaps far-fetched in some ways, but it furnished him food for thought. He began to study crop-rotation, and started planting two rows of corn and one of peas. "Later I started sowing whole strips of land to peas and then turning them under," Crabtree said. "And sweet clover, too, and that s something you don't have to replant every year. Sweet clover will come up solid for seven or eight years at a stretch." Crabtree's land, rolling and green and studded with pecan trees, is now seeded to button clover, sericea, oats, love grass and fescue. At the time of this interview he was busy discing a twenty acre field of lespedeza and Johnson grass, getting the * Irn 'JMmr _mgdip , - ]JBI __ HU; jTie RS ST ANCE: John Crabtree, upland pecan grower, shows how he draws a shotgun bead on crows and jaybirds in his grove>9 miles southwest of Ada.

A new survey by American Express has found that small business owners are neglecting to set aside money for retirement. According to the report, 60 percent of small business owners in the U.S. are not on track to save enough money for their golden years. Many blame the troubled economy, as entrepreneurs still find getting a small business loan to be difficult.
When the recession hit, a large number of small business owners found themselves supporting their businesses with their own personal savings, or failing to reserve any money for retirement. This practice has continued and today, 73 percent of small business owners say they're worried they won't be able to save for the lifestyle they want in their later years.
Not saving over the long run due to financial difficulties and tightened lending standards has forced some owners to take drastic steps when they realize they have nothing reserved for themselves. To make up for years of not saving, some small business owners have had to start setting aside large chunks of money to race against the retirement clock. Others have had to take even greater risks, and are waiting until retirement to sell their business – these owners hope to make enough off the sale to support themselves for the foreseeable future.
Many business owners believe it's more important to funnel money into their companies and that their individual finances can wait. Proper financing, though, can provide small business owners with the working capital they need, without having to constantly take a backseat to company issues. If a small business owner needs some extra financing to make ends meet, they can come to National Funding. National Funding can provide entrepreneurs with a merchant cash advance and can offer advice on other financing options, without having to exhaust a retirement account.

Numerical Solution of Time-Dependent Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Equations
€ 170,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
April 2007
BeschreibungThis book describes numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) coupling advection, diffusion and reaction terms, encompassing methods for hyperbolic, parabolic and stiff and nonstiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The emphasis lies on time-dependent transport-chemistry problems, describing e.g. the evolution of concentrations in environmental and biological applications. Along with the common topics of stability and convergence, much attention is paid on how to prevent spurious, negative concentrations and oscillations, both in space and time. Many of the theoretical aspects are illustrated by numerical experiments on models from biology, chemistry and physics. A unified approach is followed by emphasizing the method of lines or semi-discretization. In this regard this book differs substantially from more specialized textbooks which deal exclusively with either PDEs or ODEs. This book treats integration methods suitable for both classes of problems and thus is of interest to PDE researchers unfamiliar with advanced numerical ODE methods, as well as to ODE researchers unaware of the vast amount of interesting results on numerical PDEs.
InhaltsverzeichnisI Basic Concepts and Discretizations.- II Time Integration Methods.- III Advection-Diffusion Discretizations.- IV Splitting Methods.- V Stabilized Explicit Runge-Kutta Methods.
PressestimmenFrom the reviews:
"The numerical solution of time-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction problems draws on different areas of numerical analysis ... . We appreciate that the quite thorough, yet not pedantic, analytic part of the presentation is intimately interwoven with numerical tests and examples which will enable the reader to judge on the relative merits of the various approaches and really aid him in developing proper software for the problem at hand." (H. Mutsham, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 144 (2), 2005)
"Let me say at the outset that I highly recommend this book to practitioners ... end-users, and those new to the field. One of its strengths is its in-depth presentation of temporal and spatial discretizations and their interaction ... . With each topic, key theoretical results are presented. ... I found the present authors' choice of problems to be one of the highlights of the book." (Peter Moore, SIAM Review, Vol. 46 (3), 2004)
"This excellent research monograph contains a comprehensive discussion of numerical techniques for advection-reaction-diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs). The emphasis is on a method of lines approach, the analysis is careful and complete, and the numerical tests designed to verify the theoretical discussions of stability, convergence, monotonicity, etc. involve solving 'real life' equations. ... As is to be expected in such a carefully prepared monograph, there is an extensive bibliography and a good index. Highly recommended." (Ian Gladwell, Mathematical Reviews, 2004 g)
"The information, densely packed on roughly 450 pages, is abundant though well-structured, smoothly readable, and with emphasis on explanation of key concepts by means of examples that are stripped from unnecessary complications. ... a serious student with a hands-on attitude finds in this book an excellent source for self-studies and investigation. ... It is a valuable contribution to the Springer Series in this field of research." (J. Brandts, Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde, Vol. 7 (1), 2006)

Totally Free People Search Sites
There are totally free people search sites available on the internet. It is important to try more than one of these websites due to the fact that some contain more information than others.
Find People Free Search Engines
There are many ways to find people free through search engines. You can plug in your own information into the search box, surrounded by quotes, to see what type of data pulls up from your name. If your name is common, you will probably need to add some more information such as city or state to narrow down the results. This will give you some practice before you do your real search.
Now try the person you are looking for through the search engine of your choice, which is usually the big G. You should just type their name first in quotes to see what pulls up. If you need to narrow down the results, hopefully you have other information to narrow the data or pinpoint where they are located. The city is usually the best info you can add, but sometimes you may not know. So go with your best guess on a state then fan out from their if needed. There are other cost free people search sites above and beyond this one.
Totally Free People Search Results
One of the other ways to gain totally free people search results would be through county auditor property search engines. Let's say you narrow down your person and find out the state and city that they reside in. Of course, you can try their information through the local yellow pages. However, there is a choice to find out a lot about the person before you make contact with them. Or you can just use it to look up your friends, family and neighbors if you want.
To do this, you will want to locate the county auditor site that collects property information. Start with your county and look up your own information. If you do not know the web address, just do a search for the name of your county, plus the word auditor.org. This should pull up most of these sites, but I have not tried all of the states.
You can search the person through these county public search records (http://publicsearchrecordsinfo.com/

Grabban double ensures perfect start
A wonder goal from Lewis Grabban ensured the Cherries marked their return to the second tier with a thoroughly deserved win.
Grabban scored a goal either side of Yann Kermorgant's equaliser to provide the Cherries with the perfect start to the new season.
The athletic forward opened the scoring with a close range header in the 26th minute before restoring the lead with an unstoppable drive from 25 yards.
It was a display full of energy, quality and purpose from Eddie Howe's men, which was worthy of three points on a day that will be remembered for years to come by Cherries supporters.
While the opening 25 minutes produced little in the way of chances, the game was shaping up to be a fiercely competitive and absorbing encounter.
Harry Arter and Steve Cook looked composed and comfortable on the Championship stage, and Mohamed Coulibaly up against Rhoys Wiggins was turning into a battle of pace and power in front of the main stand.
Coulibaly guided an early effort narrowly wide from the edge of the area before Kermorgant wasted a chance from similar distance as both goalkeepers enjoyed untroubled starts to the season.
But Ben Hamer was soon picking the ball out of the back of the net when Grabban scored the first goal of the 2013/14 campaign with a well-placed header.
The move was so simple but proved to be the Addicks undoing. Marc Pugh found Arter from a quick corner, who then picked out the unmarked striker in the six yard box and he sent the ball looping into the sidenetting.
The goal sparked the game into life and winger Callum Harriott tried to provide a quick reply for his team, but the Cherries were firmly in control.
Arter, Grabban and Wes Thomas all had chances that narrowly missed the target and goalkeeper Hamer would have been a relieved man between the sticks in front of the Ted MacDougall stand.
Suddenly, the Cherries appeared to be worthy of more than a one goal lead and that it would only be a matter of time until they capitalised further on their dominance.
However, they were back on level terms just three minutes after the restart when Kermorgant powered an acrobatic strike past Ryan Allsop.
A low cross from the left had taken a deflection off Shaun MacDonald on its way to the Charlton forward, who stunned the home supporters with his clinical finish.
Howe's team lost Coulibaly to injury shortly afterwards as the visitors began to take control, only for a moment of magic from Grabban to turn the game back in the Cherries' favour.
Grabban found himself in plenty of space as he drifted inside and fired past Hamer from 25 yards to spark the Goldsands Stadium into celebration.
The goal gave the hosts plenty of confidence but their supporters had to endure a tense moment when Bradley Pritchard's header beat Allsop, only for debutant Elliott Ward to clear off the line.
But the winger effectively ended his side's hopes of finding a way back into the game when he put in a reckless challenge in on substitute Ryan Fraser.
Pritchard was duly sent off and the Cherries made sure of the win with the extra man advantage.
New signing Andrew Surman replaced Thomas late on, while Grabban was given a standing ovation as left the field in injury time.

Our last full day in Mar Del Plata
... had walked by our table and heard us speaking English, so asked during the show if we were enjoying it, and we gave them the thumbs up. We don't need to understand the words to enjoy music - it's something you feel in your soul - and we felt this. We zipped down to the main beach to take some night pictures, and then came back to the hotel. It has been a lovely weekend here, a beautiful city, some great weather, and fantastic hosts - we could not ask for ...
Tourista day!
We slept in a bit this morning - though Martin and Cecilia were up early because the sun rises over the ocean into their room early - haha! We met them down at the beach and walked along the beach where a feria was set up. The first couple of booths were cheap trinkets and fake brand name items so I had low hopes, but the it turned into a more artisanal market, there were some nice handmade items. Joel bought a nice leather bracelet. We continued down the beach line, to an ...

... and I had mojitos, mine flavoured with a fruit juice I wasn't familiar with - it was delicious. We ordered a tortilla to share, and it was good too - fresh made. We walked to a place for dessert and I had a hot chocolate and some cheesecake - very light and good, and Joel had a glass of wine and a coconut cake with dulce de leche in the middle - also good.

Martinique's sophisticated population cultivates artistic talent, and islander's love to be entertained. This bodes well for vacationers who would like to spend some time exploring the arts and entertainment that Martinique has to offer.
The creation of visual arts has not always been top priority for Martinique's people, and in fact it was only as recently as the late 1880s that any artistic endeavors began to take place on the island. The first paintings created here – paintings by official Navy Painters created to depict island life and landscapes – can be found today at the Musee de la Marine in Paris and La Rochelle.
As time went on, creating artwork became more and more prevalent on the island, and today art exhibitions take place numerous times throughout the year. Local artists are both native islanders and foreigners who come to the Martinique for inspiration. Some of today's most popular art styles created on Martinique include contemporary expression, figurative, and figurabstractionist.
If you're interested in bringing home a piece of artwork as a souvenier of your time on Martinique, there are plenty of galleries for you to explore, with the highest concentration being in Fort-de-France. You may also consider bringing home something handmade by an islander, such as woven blankets, beaded jewelry, dolls, or hand-carved statuettes. For these types of handicrafts, check out the the outdoor craft market in La Savane Park, Fort-de-France.
Song and dance are especially embraced on Martinique, with a few of the island's original musical styles capturing international attention. In addition to their indigenous music, which was typified by strong drum beats and and slave song, Martinicans enjoy other genres, especially jazz. Concerts and musical festivals are de rigeur, providing ample opportunities for travelers to soak up the sounds of Martinique. One of the most popular music festivals each year takes place at the end of November or beginning of December in Fort-de-France: the Martinique Jazz Festival. Some of the islands best jazz and blues artists play a series of concerts in different venues during the festival.
Though the dancing you'll see on Martinique today is often similar to what you will see back home, from booty dancing in the clubs, to elegant ballet performances in art centers, there are also opportunities to witness some of the island's more traditional dances. These include Bèlè, which though introduced to the islanders with French music, became a call and response type of dance that plays off of the drum, and Belya, a dance of celebration. Les Ballets De La Martinique is one of the dance groups that perform these dances and others indigenous to the island on a regular basis.
As beautiful as Martinique is, not many movies have been filmed on the island. There have been a total of six movie productions to hit the island, all of which where French films. Still, islanders love to watch movies, despite the lack of production here.
Theater is another aspect important to the culture of Martinique, and attending a theatrical performance of a play written by a local is a great way to put your finger on the pulse of the current political climate. Because shows run for short periods and are constantly changing, check with the concierge desk of your hotel, or the local paper to see what is playing during your stay.
In the 1930s, author and playwright Aimé Césaire founded the Négritude, which kicked off a literary and political movement, encouraging locals to explore the affect French colonialism had on the Caribbean and African people. From this movement came numerous pieces of literature, showing up especially in poetry and plays. The Négritude movement was just the beginning, and since that time there have been many Martinique writers whose works have been renowned. If you'd like to pick up a book or two by some native writers, consider the aforementioned Césaire as well as Jean Bernabé, Patrick Chamoiseau, Raphaël Confiant, Edouard Glissant's, and Joseph Zobel.
Martinique is more than beaches and Mt. Pele. Visitors who would like to dig deeper into what is important to the culture of Martinique have plenty of options to choose from. Whether you take in a play, explore an art gallery, or learn to dance the Bèlè, Martinique is just waiting to show you all of its many facets.

"John," she began, "I just hate to think that there could ever come a day when I'd have to fall asleep without your arms around me."
"Well, Maxine, I want to keep you happy...
You'll just have to die first!"They fell asleep, laughing.
***********************************************************************"John and I were married 57 and a half years."
Unsure of what to say, of how to guide her through this, I stretch my legs wide in front of me and bend over, placing my head between them in a semi-Yogi pose I'm sure I learned somewhere... convenient for pulling off the un-dainty immaturity of a 13 year old while effectively hiding one's tears. Dirty blond hair flipped upside down, temporary bronzer mixed with salty water staining my hands. On day 3, our Unitarian Universalist God made waterproof mascara, and with his strength, I re-emerge to listen to her speak. He comes to her in dreams, she says. Oh, two to three times a week, or so..."And how I treasure those dreams."
I await the humorous ending that
accompanies so many of their stories. The witty denial of circumstances
and appreciation of shortcomings that was unique to his outlook
on life, essential to pushing us through. But it doesn't come. The strong determination in
her voice has never felt so searing, her acceptance so sure. Without
Granddaddy there to help, I let my eyes wander and contemplate the
concrete awning above us, the bushes around us, the driveway in front of
us, convinced he left a punchline hiding here somewhere.
My vision is blurred and hers fading, but just like the impossible Easter Egg on a warm spring day, I promise her we'll find it.

It's not that she was colorblind.That was her ex's ailment. And just as her emotional intelligence had largely compensated for his lack of consideration and brash, poorly timed remarks, her sense of style and coordination had kept their romance alive. She had never let him leave the house wearing navy with black, or pink with orange. Just like she had planned that one day, their children would leave for school, their lightly tanned, metisse skin accented by the fuchsia on Barbie's backpack or the or the bright green of a childrens' JCrew sweater.
It's not that she was colorblind, just slightly awkward... somewhat unobservant. After all, liberal he may have been, but black he was not. A Washingtonian WASP, born and raised. Drawn to her blond, blue-eyed, hourglass figure. Apparently drawn, as well, to the thought that they might be compatible enough to bear children. Ready to settle down, with a hometown girl who didn't speak of offspring with the same casual excitement as his niece did of Bratz dolls.
"Dessert?" she offered, meekly attempting to fill the silence.
First dates are overrated.

Her: I mean, it's like eating cookies, right? You're so excited because you've been on a no carb diet for months, and then all of a sudden you can delve right in and savor them one by one, the chocolate chips, the white chocolate macadamias, the oatmeal raisins, the snicker doodles, the whole box of thin mints, and you're so overwhelmed and high from suger land and they taste great...
Me: ... and then all of a sudden you eat one too many and you get a stomachache
Her: Right! and you're like ooooooohhhhh I wish I had eaten a more legitimate cookie...
Let's raise a glass of 2% to that.

It's been awhile since I've had a celebrity crush.
FUCK, though. (Don't curse). If there's anything more heart-wrenchingly beautiful than watching the man of your dreams tear off his shirt and do the Achy Breaky in front of a thousand adoring women, it's watching a sitcom actor that had barely crossed your radar humbly, seemingly effortlessly, captivate your heart and mind for hours straight.
I'm hardly a film critic. But last Saturday night, at the screening of happythankyoumoreplease, I remembered what it's like to be so utterly enamored with and inspired by someone's work, that you practically lose your voice searching for words to do it justice.
The director of SFIFF forewarned the audience that watching the film would make you want to have sex, over, and over, and over again. For my fellow movie-goers that night, I can only hope the molecules on the face of the person sitting next to you rearranged themselves as needed. For my part, it was if the hustle and bustle of my technology-driven life had disappeared, and all that remained were the city lights above, illuminating a slightly different path than the one I was sure to have set out on... and all I wanted to do was write, over, and over, and over again...
I think I might be kind of maybe ok who am I kidding please don't get another gorgeous celebrity girlfriend and break my heart too soon because I am, officially inspired and in love.

The truth is, I've never been passionate about economic principals in the same way that Granddaddy was, though I often pretended to be so in his presence. If I persevered and attempted to understand concepts of macroeconomics, tacking courses into my schedule just for "fun", and eventually majoring in Political Economy, it was to understand a little about how the world works... but moreover, to understand more about my grandfather's work, life, and passion.
C.A. Knox Lovell and Robin C. Sickles brought me one step closer this week in their beautiful memorial tribute, written in prelude to Rice University's Biennial North American Productivity Workshop, to be held in Houston exactly one month from now.
A brief excerpt:
If anyone deserves the appellation of father of productivity analysis, it is Kendrick. He had few predecessors, either analytically or empirically, although he paid particular homage to Fabricant and Hiram S. Davis, then at the Industrial Research Unit of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania.
In our brief discussion of Professor Kendrick's professional contributions we have chosen to focus on what we consider to be the two most significant of Professor Kendrick's many contributions to the field of productivity analysis.
Kendrick is best known for his monumental Productivity Trends in the United States (1961), and it is difficult to overstate the impact of this work. Kendrick prefaces a detailed empirical study of productivity from 1899 to 1957 with a discussion of the concepts and measurement of real output, real input and productivity. His empirical investigation reveals substantial variability in rates of productivity change through sub-periods and across sub-sectors of the total economy. He finds productivity growth to account for roughly half of output growth, and more than 80% of growth in output per unit of labor input, capital deepening accounting for the remainder. He also argues conceptually and demonstrates empirically that equality between national product and national income generates a dual measure of productivity change: the difference between the growth rate of output and the growth rate of input is equal to the difference between the growth rate of input prices and the growth rate of output prices. "[T]his is the means whereby the fruits of productivity gains are distributed to workers and investors by the market mechanism."
Not only was Professor Kendrick a scholar of the first rank, whose contributions to the field of productivity compare to those of Edward Denison, Dale Jorgenson and Zvi Griliches, but he was a wonderful colleague and mentor. One of us (Sickles) had the remarkable fortune to have been a colleague of John Kendrick at George Washington University (not to mention being mentored as a graduate student by Knox Lovell and Peter Schmidt at UNC-Chapel Hill!). John was a warm and thoughtful senior colleague who was giving of his time and professional insights. His influence to generations of scholars and practitioners is profound. His legacy is not only a professional one, however, but for us, a very personal one.He will be missed."
Save for emotional breakdowns during midterm exams, journals of academic research have rarely, if ever, brought tears to my eyes.
I suppose there's a first time for everything.

It was a corny pick-up line.
I sat there staring at my computer screen in a daze, overwhelmed by that once-a-year feeling that only the end of exams can inspire. Wine on my desk in lieu of a senior thesis. Last attempts at an adrenaline rush evidenced by the blasting Lady Gaga from my $10 stereo speakers, the straightedge girl's alternative to the smoke rings blatantly rising from our housemates just below. In those blissful 15 minutes of denial, I deliberately ignored the sudden emptiness of our 34th Street townhouse, as if both the sunrise and the end of our lease were pushed back indefinitely, contingent on my paresse.
Him: So uh, I just sold my bed on Craigslist.
Me: Sweet! Congrats.
Him: Yeah. Can I sleep in yours tonight?
There's an obligatory 30-second period of contemplation that rolls through a girl's head, before she can laugh and accept the fate of indulging a pathetic request from her male counterpart. Except it wasn't one. Just a genuine plea for help from my neighbor down the hall who had kept me laughing when the world came crashing down, be it through Jettie's runs in my beat-up car filled with rotten banana peels, philosophical debates over scare tactics used by Republicans surrounding the swine flu, romantic reflections worthy of How I Met Your Mother, or forced participation in KANE Show antics at 5 AM. A meek admission of faulty logic from a friend whose excitement at a $60 sale led him to forget that he might need his bed one more night. Before graduation, and the like.
Him, cuddled up next to me, 30 minutes later: So, do you want to be big spoon or little spoon?
Me: Shut up.
Toppled by the more daunting, immediate realization that my bed was a simple twin, hard as a rock and cruelly uncomfortable even for one sole occupier, I fleetingly resented him for choosing our house furniture without my input, and instantly regretted that 9 months had already flown right by.
My response came in the form of a sarcastic giggle and the silence that foreshadows the dawning of a real
One year later, I still can't believe it worked.

Gonzalez was a Canyon High School ninth-grader last Oct. 3 when she was arrested by Comal County Sheriff's Office detectives and charged with injury to a child with intent to cause serious bodily injury. The baby's father, Salvador Pineda Leon, 17, was also arrested but was not indicted. He has been released from custody. Prosecuting attorney Darren Umphreys told jurors Gonzalez confessed to injuring her child. Defense attorney John Esman argued statements from the child's father lead to at least reasonable doubt she was responsible for the life-threatening injuries her son sustained. Witnesses, including a child protective services investigator, police officers and the doctor who operated on the child described events leading to Gonzalez's arrest.

The burgeoning growth of both population and government in Bulverde are disdainful to him. "I don't think there should even be a City of Bulverde," Scott said. "My answer is ail of this is unnecessary, and they should just go away." The conflict between Scott and those like him who resist development in Bulverde and city councilmembers and their supporters who see now as the time to rein in that growth is age old, said University of Texas at Austin architecture professor Bob Paterson. "The been heres' and the 'come heres' have to negotiate what type of community identity they want to have, what kind of values they began crying Sunday, Sept. 28, and did not stop for at least 24 hours. The following day, Gonzalez's mother recommended taking the inconsolable baby to the hospital after he vomited blood. The baby arrived at North Central Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, where doctors discovered he was fighting for his life as a result of non-accidental blunt force trauma, Umphreys said. "The evidence will show that this young lady confessed to injuring this child," See TRIAL, Page 5A River committee to resurface with different members will have when they're faced with rapid growth," Paterson said. Its not a conflict easily resolved. As Mayor ProTem Beverlee lunies put it, "You can't put a gate on 281 and say Don't come.'" The issue in the past has marred city council with wrangling and bickering, but the May 15 election brought in a new council that embraces expansion. Some in Bulverde have See BULVBRDI, Page 5A By Scott Mahon Staff Writer New Braunfels City Council ignored the wishes of the majority of the River Activities Committee's members Monday night, voting to restructure the committee and appoint new members. At its May 18 meeting, RAC members voted 4-2 to disband, with Wayne Peters and Kathleen Rockwood voting against the decision. Monday, RAC members Irene Allen and Tom Talcott told council the committee's work was finished. "The issues aren't going to go away, and there aren't any good answers," Allen said. "We accomplished our agenda," Talcott added. "We keep going over the same issues, and I think it'd be redundant to reconstitute the committee." But Peters and Rockwood argued that the committee still serves a useful function. "There are still problems to be addressed, and the committee should be continued," Peters said. "Mrs. Allen feels like we should just give up, but there are going to be new problems to deal with," Rockwood said. Council formed the River Activities Committee in 2000 in response to problems on the Comal and Guadalupe rivers. Subsequently, the committee developed a river management plan designed to maintain and improve conditions on the rivers. Nathan Pence, project manager for the committee, was hired last year as See RIVIR, Page 5A IN OTHER ACTION In other business Monday night.

Great Place for a Honeymoon
An old friend of mine from high school showed up on the mountain to celebrate her honeymoon. Casey and Mike Armstrong made the hike up Alum Cave on Monday and spent two nights on top of the mountain. The weather was beautiful yesterday. The high reached a comfortable 62 degrees with the low last night of 40. It was a great day to see what the mountain has to offer. So, congratulations Casey and Mike. Anybody who honeymoons on top of this amazing mountain is guaranteed a long and wonderful marriage.

The shirts this year are different but as usual a true keepsake. We "earned" ours last week with a hike in the rain and snow. Tell the family members that aren't hiking the mountain that they don't get shirts since they didn't earn them.

I personally have over ten shirts, but I finally had my whole blended family there last year hiking in the driving rain with ponchos! My wife earns her shirt every day with 6 children! LOL!
