In the Midst of a Coma, A Comma Appeared
Davy was haunted by his last memory of life. His hair being caressed by Joe. Within that memory squirmed those unnerving feelings of being touched so romantically by a man. Ah, but he was a beautiful man.
"Joe, will you stop editing my dream, please!"
"Sorry, Davy, go on."
There was at first a panic in his soul, his mind still alive and filled with thought, yet his body frozen in death. He could hear life support system pumping away, doing the work of Providence, keeping him forever caught just short of moving on, And all good think of were the beautiful blue eyes of that ruggedly handsome man, that man that all other men only dream of ...
"Joe, please?"
Davy wondered if there would ever be release from this fateful prison, once again to frolic in the meadow with sweet Joe by his side ...
"Joe, I'm warning you ..."
"Well, excuse me for having a healthy self-esteem ..."
...from this fateful prison, once again to walk the face of this earth. To smell the smoke of a distant hickory fire, to hear the haunt of an owl in the night, to feel the ancient wisdom of an old ... apple tree, no, palm tree ... ah, forget it ... to feel the ancient wisdom of the old man in the mountain ... there with beautiful Joe drinking in the wonder of just being with him ...
"Look, Joe, I warned you ..." Joe was haunted by his last memory of life. His memory of Davy pushing into the path of the truck. Who would have thought that Davy would go that far in the pursuit of his beloved Lady Tasha. For so many years, Davy had "pined" for his beloved. First through the eloosive years, when Tasha had toured the world visiting one romantic spot after another, under the guise of attending writing workshop. Then came the era of her hermitage at that monastic enclave on Isle of Victoria with the Sacred Order of Brightwell. And then those escapades in her wild years when she frolicked forever in the mist, paying homage to the twin gods of fantasy, Dys and Euph.
"Davy, okay, okay I'm sorry. Could we get back to the story?"
"Learned your lesson/"
Davy and Joe were both haunted by their last memory, a memory they shared together, the blinding headlight, the blaring horn, the squealing brakes, now they being laid to rest together in a simple somber funeral service. The mourners were many, all garbed in black, their souls tinged with grey. And though it was a fair and beautiful day, a September day, a day that they would have spent writing together, there was a sadness in the air. But there was also anticipation in the air, for both Davy and Joe that they were moving on together into a new world, a new time, somewhere beyond the shade of this old oak tree which they now called home.
(Nick, help! We're losing it and we can't seem to stop!)

Lets see how Brooks compares. Brooks pro day #s 40 time: 5.00 and 4.98, I will use the 5.00 20 yard Short Shuttle: 4.52 3 cone: 7.42 Bench: 36 Vertical: 32 Board: 8'9" Explosion(bench+Vertical+board) anything over 70 is great DeCastro 71.7 Zeitler 69.5 Brooks 76.9 Laterial(40 time-short shuttle) over .50 is great DeCastro .87 Zeitler .78 Brooks .48 if Brooks ran DeCastro 40 time of 4.53 his laterial time would be .91 I don't understand the laterial time. If you have a bad or average 40 but a good or great short shuttle then it helps you but hurts those like Brooks who has a great 40 and great short shuttle. DeCastro ran a 5.43, Zeitler ran a 5.39 40. DeCastro has a 4.56 short shuttle, Zeitler has a 4.61. Brooks had a 5.0 and 4.98 40 time and a 4.52 short shuttle, both better than DeCastro and Zeitler. The site says a starting OG should have a 3 cone less than 7.84 DeCastro 7.30 Zeitler 7.77 Brooks 7.42 The site says a starting OC should have a short shuttle less than 4.69 DeCastro 4.56 Zeitler 4.61 Brooks 4.52

A rare goat-sheep hybrid has been born on an Irish farm, much to the surprise of a farmer who said the 'geep' is thriving since its birth.
The healthy geep was born two weeks ago to a ewe at Paddy Murphy's farm in County Kildare and is believed to be the result of a goat mating with one of the sheep farmer's Cheviot ewes.
This form of cross-breading is extremely rare because of the genetic distance between both species. The geep usually dies either during the pregnancy, or is stillborn.
Mr Murphy told the Irish Farmers Journal he had seen a goat mating with the ewe on the farm five months ago, but had initially though nothing of it.
He now hopes to look after the geep for as long as possible and has no plans to send it to slaughter.
"He's absolutely thriving," Mr Murphy told RTÉ News. "He's running around a lot quicker than the other lambs which were born. He has much longer legs"
"The ewe has taken to him like he's just another lamb. There's no difference in how he's been reared."
The animal has even developed a set of horns, he added.
Mr Murphy said he might have a competition at Murphy's pub, which he also owns, to name the creature. "There has been a lot of interest down here with the locals, " he said.

Rear Main Seal Leaking after 26,000 miles?
Today when I was changing the oil on the wifes Jeep, I noticed a bunch of oil running down the Back of the oil pan like the rear main seal was leaking on the transmission.
Is the a common occurance on a 2005 4.0L Wrangler with only 26,000 miles?
can it be the oil pan gasket.. mine has a slight seep but not dripping. I think its the oil pan for me anyway.
Mines only got 40k and is also weeping. Not nearly enough to worry about though
Feel around the back of the valve cover with a rag, the valve cover bolts can loosen over time and they do a very good impersonation of a rear main seal leak. Or just stick a socket back there and see if the bolts are loose, I think they torque out to around 10Ft/lbs, just don't break one.
I had a rear main around 26 to 28k in my 05. Took 2 trips to the dealer to get it solved too. The first time they swore it wasnt leaking...
yeah it doesnt look like the back of the valve covers are leaking, it def looks like the rear main seal since theres a bunch of oil dripping down the transmission casing and the rear of the oil pan.
I had the same problem on my 2005 unlimited with auto transmission, toke it to the dealer and the tech guy said the leak was from the oil pan gasket so they replaced under warranty. Here is a pic of what mine looked like when it was leaking. Have no more leak.
Yep thats Exactly what it looks like!
Looks like a trip to the Stealer.. if its under warrenty its worth it to have them fix it. Ive got too many projects. esp this Big block im in the process of rebuilding.
Thanks for the heads up!
As I was doing my life this weekend I found mine was looking like this also (only 38000 miles). I can't believe these leak this soon.... Post what the dealer tells ya - I may see what my local yocal says about my warranty and the leak.
Seals & gaskets will fall under the 7/70 powertrain warranty. Usually a $100.00 deductable applies to the original purchaser. At least that's the way it is on my 04'.
Called up Lithia Jeep and they are going to take a look at it tomorrmow morning. if it is the rear main seal they said that "There would be a $100 deductable" so much for the warrenty. :flipoff: Is the deductable of $100 per incident or is this $100 deductable a one time deal?
For $100 I would rather buy the parts $10 and just drop / replace it my self lol
from my understanding 100 every time. If your dealers are anything like the ones around here, or what i read on the web, your probably going to end up paying 200/300 for the dealer to admit theres a problem and attempt to fix it :) :D
Hence they are called "The Stealer". Those retards are charging $100/hr and maybe spend 5 mins looking at the problem. :bottom: I think they are all like that to be honst.. though Jeep does seem to be the worst. If they dont "find a problem" its "$100 and a :flipoff: :bottom:" LOL
at least w/ Chevy Dealers if you think you have a problem you bring it in and they check it out no questions asked.
Yea, don't get me wrong, all dealers are a pain to deal with, but Jeep dealers make you want to put a gun to your head sometimes. I have never seen a dealer do some of the crudy stuff that Jeep dealers do, just to try and either avoid a warranty claim, or make money on the deal by doing it shady.. :)
mine went at 17000 and then again at 21000.
Its going to be the oil pan gasket and they don't charge you $100 for the job cause its under warranty. Ill look through my papers a post what the dealer actually did to the jeep for no charge. I don't think their supposed to charge you a deductable even if its a rear main seal.
Alright got a a call from the Stealership. Lithia Jeep on Arapahoe in Denver, co. They said that the oil pan gasket was leaking and then they also said that the "Pinion seal" was leaking?? Im guessing this is for the stering Gear box?
All 100% covered under warranty.
Glad to hear that the stealership is covering everything that has to be done.
wow can't believe that low of miles and rear main already??
rear main leak
i have a 2006 wrangler and it has 17000mi and it has had the front crank seal and rear main seal replaced 2 times. this is the 1st time i have ever owned a jeep. so i dont know if it is normal.

That "syncing" feeling: the impact of learning design on participation and interaction in webinars for teacher training
David Gatrell, British Council Hong Kong and TeachingEnglish online teacher development team How did I get interested in webinars? Presentation agenda How did I become interested in using and researching webinars?
Theoretical background
Research: webinars on E-moderator Essentials by British Council TeachingEnglish
Implications of the research
Questions, feedback and suggestions on the presentation or research: join http://learningtechnologieshongkong.pbworks.com/webinars MA DTCE: http://madigitaltechnologies.wordpress.com
Social presence as a learner - less isolated
Collaborative projects - faster pace, more dynamic interaction
Joined British Council TeachingEnglish development team
Introducing webinars on online courses for ELT:
E-moderator Essentials = MA DTCE dissertation Participation and interaction in webinars are shaped by factors we can't control Scheduling
Number of participants
Learner differences
Technical problems Participation and interaction in webinars also depend on factors we can control The webinar-based learning environment
Learning design
Perceptions of webinar-based learning? Existing research Medium not widely used until late 2000s: Adobe Connect, Blackboard Collaborate, Wimba Classroom
Little available research
Text-based > multimodal
Nothing on ELT Benefits of all synchronous e-learning Promotes social and informal communication
More ideas sharing
More community, less isolation
Stronger ties, denser interaction
Higher participation
More equal participation
Immediate feedback + social presence = more motivation
see Chou 2002, Hrastinski 2006, 2008, 2010, Orvis et al 2002 How is multimodal different? What do webinars add? So what is the role of the moderator? Ground rules and interaction patterns
Pre-reading and agenda
Promote deeper engagement
Encourage reflection
Flexible approach to technology used
see Park & Bonk 2007, Shi et al 2008, Chen et al 2009 How can webinar tools aid interaction and participation? Participants as "presenters" - more learner-centred
Polls to gauge understanding
Breakouts to encourage collaboration
Slides and whiteboard - visual channel
see Wang & Hsu 2009 Pitfalls specific to webinar-based learning? Two-way audio - interruptions
Video - distracting
NOT the same as F2F
Multiple audio and visual elements - unnatural Users, not only the medium, dictate how a medium will be used How far is participation and interaction shaped by the people who use webinars ... and how much is it down to the medium itself? Research questions What is the nature of participation and interaction in moderated webinar-based learning for developing e-moderators?
What is the impact of different learning designs on participation and interaction in moderated webinar-based learning for developing e-moderators?
How are different learning designs perceived by moderators and participants? Theoretical framework: multimodal discourse analysis Deals with all modes of communication
Activity Theory and Systemic Functional Linguistics
3 components: Technology, Activity and Task design
Subject of discourse: Activity, Content, Technology, and Socio-emotional *
Nature of interaction also analysed
* Berge's (1995) moderator roles: managerial, pedagogical, technical and social
Based on Bower & Hedberg 2010 Coding frame for textual discourse - subject two iterations of EME - EMOD-034 and 036
one moderator, 20 participants
30-55 year-old native- and non-native speakers, C1+
0-4 years' experience in webinar-based learning
six episodes analysed from 3 meetings - 75.4 min
5-10 participants per episode
post-meeting forum discussion Context Learning design Tools used General Presentation Delivery - to show slides in main room
Webcam and VoIP - technology-permitting
Text Chat - to other CPs * or main room
Breakouts *
File Upload - to show video and PDF in breakout room *
Notes - to record feedback from breakout room
Polling - to gauge opinion
Attendee List - to indicate status, e.g. 'applause'
Whiteboard - to record feedback from breakout room
Archiving - to record the meeting Qualitative approaches used purposeful analysis of each episode transcript Quantitative results Global results - nature of participation and interaction
Learning design results - impact of learning design Interface design poll text chat notes pod whiteboard attendee list Global results - comparing actions Learning design results - technology design MDA =
quantification of interaction + participation
moderator + participants
global + individual learning design
Other discourse useful: Activity, Technology, socio-emotional
Participants use tools available to them to interact
Perceptions affect interaction + participation: "In the second meeting, familiarity meant greater confidence and more productivity … persist and things get easier." Conclusions different channels of communication captured and analysed
cause-and-effect relationships identified
helped conduct qualitative analysis of participation/interaction
video, private chat and breakout rooms not analysed
affecting factors: scheduling, learner differences, moderator differences, technical issues, group size ...
possible that one variable, e.g. technology design, overshadowed the other two
context not representative of all webinar-based learning designs and cannot be extrapolated Reflections on quantitative method Looking forward How can it benefit practitioners? How can it benefit the research community?
highlights examples of good practice in webinar-based learning
can inform approaches to webinar-based learning
research tools can be used to investigate webinar-based learning in ELT
Questions, feedback and suggestions: http://learningtechnologieshongkong.pbworks.com/webinars
"It is not simply a case of choosing the most appropriate medium - we must also ensure it is used in most appropriate way."
Hrastinski 2010 Technology design - presentational
or collaborative? Task design - conceptual or metacognitive knowlege ... and at what stage is content introduced? Activity design - moderator-centred,
moderator-participant interaction
or moderator-as-regulator? Learning design Coding frame for textual discourse - nature of interaction Is the sentence independent or responsive? Is the sentence a question or statement? Is the sentence responding to a question, statement or action? explain participation and interaction identify perceptions analysis of post-meeting discussion forums focus groups moderators participants Global results - total participation Global results - comparing discourse by subject moderators participants 2 3 1 Global results - comparing nature of intereaction collaborative design presentational design Learning design results - technology design collaborative design presentational design Learning design results - technology design collaborative design presentational design Learning design results - activity design moderator-as-facilitator design more moderator-centred design Learning design results - activity design moderator-as-facilitator design more moderator-centred design Learning design results - activity design moderator-as-facilitator design more moderator-centred design more moderator-centred design Learning design results - task design conceptual knowlege - input during meeting metacognitive knowlege - input before meeting Learning design results - how do webinar tools support interaction? Learning design results - perceptions of collaborative tech design Social presence: "nothing beats it ... it adds a human touch"
Slides and moderator webcams provide a focus
Non-verbal communication supports interaction
Tools allow new patterns of interaction
Range of tools ensures communication
Replicates classroom environment Positive perceptions Easy to lose the thread of a text discussion
Typing skills inhibit participation
Lack of feedback when speaking
Audio difficult to use with larger groups
"Too much going on ... tools are a distraction"
Less tech-savvy participants comfortable with simpler, presentational design Negative perceptions Questions raised from focus groups What is the purpose of webcams - social presence or interaction?
How do perceptions change over time - will subsequent participants become more comfortable with the environment?
Should webinars aim to replicate F2F learning or actually transform the learning environment? Learning design results - how moderator-centred should it be? "If the moderator wasn't leading things, you could end up directionless"
"If the moderator just left them to it, they'd all go off the point"
"Online, it's more necessary to make sure [a discussion] doesn't go off topic and weave things in"
"I always felt more comfortable in the [main room] … I could hide … I felt I was in my comfort zone when I had the whole class there" More moderator-centred "It's nice for participants to generate notes and record their discussion"
"In [breakout] groups it was better … you can give your opinion and if you keep silent, different participants ask you [to contribute]"
"People participated more equally in breakout rooms" Less moderator-centred Questions raised from focus groups Does the need for a more moderator-centred approach diminish over time?
Do certain stages of the webinar call for a more moderator-centred approach than others?
Can tools - such as slides and polls - help reduce the need for moderator presence by enhancing participation and managing interaction? Learning design results - when should new material be inputted? "Pre-reading is useful - people have different levels of knowledge … if they've read the material beforehand they start on a level playing field"
"Pre-readings helped us lead discussions ... when we were given texts in the meeting there wasn't time ... we don't all read at the same speed"
"It's better to use the meeting for discussion - not input ... it's like the flipped classroom"
"Too much input and time management becomes an issue" Before the meeting "I liked the use of video as input - it was more interesting"
"I like interacting with the thing there at that moment and dealing with responses and everything happening at that moment … that's the way I work"
"If your input is short and concise and stimulates discussion then it can be managed" During the meeting Questions raised from focus groups Does the webinar become a presentation, or a discussion based on what people have read or watched?
Is the purpose of a webinar to stimulate thought and process information, or are we using it to input new information to them?
Does task design depend on individual learning styles?
Regardless of what happens during the webinar, how can we promote reflection after it has finished? Research question 1 What is the nature of participation and interaction in moderated webinar-based learning? Research question 2 What is the impact of different learning designs on participation and interaction in moderated webinar-based learning? Research question 3 How are different learning designs perceived by moderators and participants? participant discourse Content-focused and responsive, moderator discourse Activity-Content-focused and independent
resulted from predominantly moderator-centred approaches - moderators engaged with participants, providing "hooks with both ends" and "confronting and conflicting" - and presentational technology design more collaborative technology designs enabled those participants with microphone rights to contribute more sentences per minute than when using text-chat
collaborative technology designs resulted in higher levels of Activity, Activity-Technology- and Technology-focused discourse and increased socio-emotional communication
less moderator-centred activity designs lead to higher, more equal and more independent participant discourse
metacognitive task designs drawing on participants' experiences yield more equal participant contributions, especially if content is inputted before the meeting - the "flipped classroom" collaborative technology designs are more likely to succeed if tools are introduced gradually and supported by screencasts or practice sessions that all participants can attend
more moderator-centred activity designs can support less experienced participants, and are better suited to feedback and summarising
different task designs appeal to different learning styles - though pre-reading is essential, some participants may benefit from working with new content during a webinar both tools helped explain quantitative findings
forum discussions took place immediately after each episode
participant focus group was selected to include active and less active participants
moderator focus group was directed by research participants themselves, not the researcher
focus groups took place one month after the final episode
not all moderators and participants could attend
one participant contributed by text, not audio
few participants took part in the second forum discussion Reflections on the qualitative method Non-verbal communication + webinar tools = enhanced participation + more dynamic interaction Over to you Have you used webinars or other types of videoconferencing as a teacher or learner?

Reader: We scream for ice cream -- but in Berkeley or Harkness Heights?
Just in time for the Memorial Day weekend, Matt and Rosemary Lopez, who've owned Taza de Cafe for the six years, finally opened Charlie's Ice Cream Social right next door in the hot Berkeley neighborhood.
Or is it?
Says Sarathe:
I know "Berkeley" has taken over everything, but if you want to be really all about this neigborhood name crap (which everyone that has invaded this area does), it is really Harkness Heights, since the place in on 44th and east of Lowell.
Berkeley or Harkness Heights? Northwest Denver or northside? In these days of mobile maps, are neighborhood names losing their importance? Post your thoughts below, or just join the conversation already under way here.

Harry and Roxanna
At that moment, Christopher returned. He was grinning from ear to ear and the glow around him seemed to stretch out a foot in all directions.
"You can stay," he beamed.
I sat up and grinned. He sat beside me and started kissing me happily, clasping my hands in his. I had a fleeting image of a wedding scene (at which point, Christopher chuckled in my mind) before I realised Harry was clearing his throat.
Christopher carried on, ignoring his father, even sending me images of potential wedding dressed.
Push him away, Terri. Harry was going to tell you a story.
I froze, startled by the sudden appearance of Roxanna's voice in my head. I hadn't heard her enter the room.
I gently pushed Christopher away, though he gazed longingly at me with wistful eyes that could send the world's toughest man into tears.
"Stop it," I laughed.
Stop what? Loving you? Imagining you in a wedding dress?
He sent me images of myself in white, blue, green, purple...
"Don't!" I laughed, ignoring the fact that Harry was probably staring at my seemingly one-sided conversation. 'You're so distracting,' I thought to him.
"Harry's going to tell us a story," I said aloud. Harry looked surprised that I knew, but the surprise faded as he gazed behind me. I looked back and caught Roxanna winking from the doorway.
She glided in and over to Harry. She folded the newspaper he handed her and put it on the arm of the couch Christopher and I were sitting on, and sat at Harry's feet. Toying with her hair and reminding me very much of Christopher, he began his tale.
"Twenty-five years ago, I was strolling along a beach at night time. I was fifteen and life had been treating me fairly decently. I was reflecting upon my luck when I suddenly heard someone crying. I ran to the source of the noise, and there, sitting on the sand was Rosie Danes, the most beautiful girl at school.
I searched my pockets for a tissue and found a whole packet. I handed it to her and said, 'Don't cry.'
She looked stunning, as ever, with her long, shiny, curly black hair and emerald eyes that seemed to hold my gaze. At the time, I thought the silver glow around her was a trick of the light - the full moon was very bright that night - but of course, it wasn't."
Harry smiled at Roxanna. She smiled back.
Silver, I wondered. Absent-mindedly, I wondered what colour glow I'd have as a vampire.
'Silver,' Christopher murmured in my head. 'It's silver for females and gold for males.'
Harry sipped from a glass of water I hadn't noticed, before handing it to Roxanna who placed it beside her.
"I sat beside her. She was looking at me as if I were the most wonderful boy she'd ever seen. I don't know what came over me, but I had a sudden urge to put my arm around her and kiss her hair. I didn't do the latter - I was far too shy - but I lifted my arm and draped it across her shoulder."
"I'm so glad you did," Roxanna murmured.
Christopher put his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on his.
Smiling, Harry continued.
"'What's wrong?' I asked."
"'I'm a fool and I can't do anything about it,'" Roxanna contributed.
"'I'm sure you're not,' I told her.
'I am! What would you know, anyway?' she asked.
'I see you at school. You always seem to care. I don't believe that fools care.' I was desperate for her to cheer up. I'd always cared about her, you see.
She looked at me intently. 'I wish Kevin were like you,' she told me.
My heart felt like it was doing somersaults. Kevin was the captain in every sport, he was the epitome of cool, he was the most popular guy in the school, and here Rosie Danes was saying she wished I was like him.
'Are you together, then?' I asked.
'Yes.' She winced.
'If you don't like him, can't you dump him?'
'Well, that's the thing, you see. Rosie likes him and can't see he's no good for her. Rosie doesn't remember me.'
I was very confused. 'Um, aren't you Rosie?'
'Not quite. She's part of me, but completely different.'
'Have you got some sort of multiple personality disorder?'
'Something like that. I have two personalities. Look, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're human...'
'...and you're not?' I interrupted. Her voice was kind, but I couldn't help but feel frustrated. 'Look, you may not expect me to understand, but I'd like to. Start from the beginning.'
She looked at me searchingly, but told her story, anyway.
'I'm a vampire, Harry.'
This caught me off guard. 'How do you know my name?!' I was sure I hadn't told her.
'I'm psychic.'
'Oh. Go, on, then.' I encouraged gently. She looked bewildered at my willingness to continue listening to this ridiculous tale.
'By day, I look and feel like a human. I'm completely normal, except for the way I never seem to dream. By day, I'm Rosie Danes, a vampire who doesn't remember what she is.'
'Who she is,' I corrected. I was willing to accept her as she was, even if she was crazy.
She looked at me strangely, as if not quite daring to believe what she was hearing.
'Tomorrow, I won't even remember your name, because, by night, I'm a hypersensitive, telepathic, blood-drinking vampire. I have fangs, hypnotic eyes; serene beauty and I emanate a silver glow. I'm Roxanna.'
Oh, it wasn't the moonlight, I thought to myself.
'No.' She startled me by commenting on this unspoken thought.
She's telling the truth, I realised.
'As a vampire, I can remember both types of experience. I can tell you, right now, that Kevin is treating Rosie unfairly. But, what can I do? I have no way to communicate this to her. My greatest fear is that he'll hurt her.'
Without quite knowing what I was doing, I hugged her tightly.
'I want to help, Roxanna. If there's anything I can do...' I trailed off, realising she was motionless.
I sat there awkwardly, until she hesitantly put her arms around me.
'You're a decent guy, Harry.' The words stuck in her throat as she began to cry, burying her head in my shoulder. I wanted nothing more than to comfort her and convey that I was there for her.
I love her, I realised. This has gone past admiration of Rosie; I am in love with Roxanna. My head span dizzyingly.
'You love me?' A startled voice came into my head. 'But, I'm a vampire!'
'It doesn't matter,' I answered with my thoughts. I laughed in my mind. 'It doesn't even matter!'
And her mental laughter joined mine. 'Harry,' she thought to me. 'Harry, I love you too!' She sounded overjoyed, like a child reunited with a missing favourite toy.
We spent the rest of the night walking along the beach hand in hand.
'Befriend Rosie,' Roxanna thought to me as we strolled along. 'She could do with you as a supportive friend, if not a lover.'
'That'll be weird,' I thought back. I felt I was really getting the knack of telepathy.
She laughed out loud, a beautiful, tinkling laugh, like piano keys.
You're not the one who's telepathic, silly! I'm listening to your thoughts. I'm telepathic.
I laughed with her."
Roxanna handed Harry the glass of water. He downed it all. He gave her the empty glass and she put it down beside her. I noticed there were tears in her eyes.
"The next day, I saw Rosie at school, chatting with her friends outside her next lesson, which happened to be in the same building as mine. I walked up to her, stuck out my hand and said, 'Hi, I'm Harry Parker. I saw you won a prize in an art competition this morning in assembly. I wanted to congratulate you.'
She shook my hand uncertainly, but didn't laugh at me. In fact, she peered at me strangely.
'Don't I know you from somewhere?' she asked.
'Don't think so,' I shrugged.
With a jolt, I suddenly realised that I wasn't letting go of her hand. I abruptly let go, but not before one of her friends had noticed. Melissa, I think her name was. Anyway, Melissa raised an eyebrow quizzically and teased, 'She's a bit old for you, isn't she?'
I blushed. This was true. Rosie was in the year above, the first year of sixth form, in fact.
'A bit too good for me, too." I turned to go, embarrassed but Rosie grabbed my shoulder. I turned back.
Another friend of hers was saying, 'Aw, he's cute.'
Rosie said, 'You're a sweet guy. See you 'round.' She let go of me and I smiled shyly.
'See you 'round.'
At lunch, she came and sat with me. She wasn't surrounded by her friends, which made conversation easier. We were just about to discuss hobbies when Kevin came up to our table.
'Oi, Rosie!'
Rosie looked alarmed and slightly afraid.
'Who's your new boyfriend? I thought we had something going on!" He planted himself next to her. His muscular arms were very menacing and intimidating.
'W-we do,' she stammered. 'H-Harry's not my boyfriend.'
'Worms have names?' he snorted.
'He's not a worm! Don't be mean!'
Kevin grabbed her wrist and held it tightly. I could see she was in pain.
'Don't hurt her!' I surprised myself. Ever since I'd met Roxanna, I'd felt like anything was possible. Now, looking at the massive guy glaring in front of me, I realised some things weren't.
I tried to duck out of the way of the coming punch, but the fist still caught my head. I blacked out.
I woke up to a frantic voice asking, 'Harry? Harry? Can you hear me? Are you all right? Shut up, Kevin!'
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Rosie's concerned face.
'Oh, you're awake! You're so brave!' She hurriedly kissed me on the cheek.
Kissed me? Wow.
I fainted."

This 5-Minute Extended Flash Trailer Is The Justice League We Want
Jared Sperli stashed this in tv
Stashed in: Heroes!, Justice League
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Charlie is right:
The one reservation I have about this set-up is that way, way too many people know the Flash's secret from the get-go. It looks like his whole supporting cast, almost. I know it doesn't entirely make sense for him to master his powers and get a cool suit all on his own — but it feels as though they want to give him his own Arrow Gang overnight.

Residential used cooking oil will no longer be accepted at the Lihue and Hanapepe refuse transfer stations as of July 1, Kauai County announced. The program will end because of budget constraints in fiscal year 2014.
Officials recommend that people dispose of used cooking oil properly by straining the oil into a sealable container such as an old plastic jar with a lid, and discarding it in the trash.
Residents with large amounts of cooking oil are encouraged to collaborate with a local restaurant. Most restaurants have grease bins whose contents are recycled.
Anyone with questions can contact the County Recycling Office at 241-4841.

My 10 year old son got this for himself with a gift card he received for Christmas. We decided on this 7 inch hp over the (larger) 8 inch nextbook for the same price. I went ahead and purchased the protection plan (covers it broken screen, having things spilled into it, etc.) which I see as a must in a house with three kids. I also purchased a couple screen protectors and a case that has a usb keyboard built into it on the cheap on ebay. It looks good, and works very well, plus the battery life is a lot better than I had expected.
I got my nails done and decided to take a look at the tablets they have here in walmart and since it was black friday I tought they might have some on sale witch they didnt when I ask how much was their tablets because I thought the prices would be so high for tablets but when I herd the price I was amazed how great the price was plus when I opened the box it was a cute little thing medium size tablet and works fast on the internet. This is such a cute tablet would be a very awesome christmas gift birthday gift any occasion gift this is one awesome tablet.
This tablet was impressive for $89. Good processor, battery life, volume, and overall build quality. The screen could have used some improvement as the resolution makes things look a little grainy. The colors are a little washed out as well, but again this price is pretty remarkable. Check out a video review here:
I Really Love this Little Table,I Use it Mostly For Bible Study...And Watching Movies..The Battery Life is Short and some times it does responded as fast I would it too.. So far So Good...
It's way better then I expected my son is going to love this and he can leave my phone alone
the best Christmas present for my daughter at a great price, sending WALMART is a fast service, delivered in 5 days in Puerto Rico
The HP tablet, has easy to use apps. I wish it would have came with a printer. One thing I find myself not able to do is add my phone to my tablet. I hope to do that soon, but if it is not one of the options on this HP tablet. Please look into adding this as well as a texting option. These features would be great while on the go, at work, school and even while traveling. Thank you
My children had been in need of tablet. I saw this online and after reading several reviews I decided to try it. I bought 2 for my 9 and 7 years children for their Christmas gift. Though they've not seen then yet. It's was the fastest electronics I'd ever set up. The Internet is very fast. The only cons is the camera. It has only the front and no back. I read it before I purchased but hey, for that price it didn't matter to me and the children don't care about the picture. Their interest is the game. I like the fact that you don't need to use your credit card before you can download applications. They already had pre installed apps. If you are looking for a tablet and not ready to spend too much then, this is the right one. I love it. I'm actually using it to write this review. I had never written any review before but I decided to do this one because I'm very impressed by the product. HP thanks for making it possible for my children to own this nice tablet.
The only cons I can find with this are:
- there is only a front camera, which is very awkward for photo taking
- the camera quality is not very good
- you cannot find this tablet model ANYWHERE and so finding accessories for it is difficult
- putting things from the computer onto it usually takes a really long time for once it reaches the half-way point of loading, it basically stops.
However, the sleek and beautiful design is comfortable and its size is convenient for immediate use and carrying it around versus a laptop. It is quick to respond to your touch and does not lag. I love the amount of space it has because it allows you to have tons of apps and some music, though extra storage is necessary to carry a plethora of it. Also, the graphics are beautiful and organization of things you put on it are simple and easy to remember.
Overall, it is totally worth the price and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try out a tablet before going to the $400 ones.
I know this is a lower end product in the HP Slate lineup with reduced processor, memory, display & camera to meet a price point for Wal-Mart. Having said all that it seems to be solidly built and more than adequate for my needs. Everything loads straight from the Google play store and it is powerful enough to run movies from Netflix with no delay and you can add memory via the MicroSD slot.
So after a couple of weeks of use I am more than satisfied with the product. Actually I am fairly impressed that, considering this is a lower end unit, it seems to run everything with no problems and is solidly built.
Downside? There does not seem to be any covers built specifically for this unit as it has a different layout from the others in the slate family. But a generic 7 inch tablet cover seemed to work just fine. Also the front facing camera is of lower end quality, but who uses a camera on a tablet?
Not perfect but I gave it 5 starts considering the price of the unit, feeling solid in your hand and for meeting the needs of most folks at this price point. (e.g. value)
This HP tablet is pretty cool. Its fast for surfing and plying games. I bought it so I could leave my laptop hooked up at my desk and have this for around the house. Its a little slow sometimes and hard to connect to the internet but overall for the price I like it..I have always trusted HP and love their products. The tablet itself is everything I expected and more...it would make a great gift for any age. its like a mini laptop all in one and just the right size to take anywhere you go..as for the bad reviews I guess some people get an item that doesn't work as good as other ones but as for the one that I got ..it works wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet. It does what it says it does and has lots of features for the price...I LOVE IT...don't let the negative reviews keep you from trying it..remember its backed by walmarts return policy..so give it a try.
I am not sure where the estimated 5-hour battery life came from, I'm at 16 hours with 66% remaining from the first charge. granted I am only using the tablet as "light duty" currently, only checking emails, weather, skype, web browsing and some light gaming. I am sure heavy gaming will pull on the battery a lot harder but I think even then battery life will be better than 5 hours.
Not many negatives to the tablet other than the screen. it is not IPS so the viewing angles are poor. There is also some light bleed from the backlight around the screen bezel. It is most noticeable in low light but otherwise acceptable.
The Atom processor is quite speedy for typical use, I found no noticeable lag switching between apps. So far every app I've tested worked on the Intel chip.
Don't expect miracles from the built-in cam, it needs lots of light to get decent image quality.
A good deal considering the low price.
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my Mom. Everything was going fine for the first few hours, then the display would black out when going back and forth between screens. It would take it 10-15 seconds for the display to show what it was supposed to. Then came time to power it off and recharge it. Well, while plugged in it would not power off. You would tell it to power off, and it would shut down, but then it would immediately restart and power back up without touching the power button. However, when not plugged in, it would stay powered off. Plug it in, however, and it automatically restarts without touching the power button.
So, it has been reset to factory settings and is going back for a refund. Thank goodness for Walmart's Holiday Return Policy. The tablet was very disappointing, especially considering it was my main Christmas present for my Mom. I avoided "off-brand" tablets and went with a trusted brand like HP, only to end up with a faulty unit.
When I saw that a HP tablet existed, I nearly cried. I love HP, like seriously. I've never worked on an other PC, its been HP from jump. I had been contemplating getting a tablet most recently. I am circle slash i pad, anti i-anything, phone, touch, pad, you get the picture. Never really liked them because of their restrictions, and everywhere you turn, someone has one. I have a HP laptop that recently started feeling heavy and ancient, so I started my hunt for a tablet. This one was a no brainer, came loaded with every Google app you can think of, sleek and small yet functional. Has e-print software already installed, so I can print from my tablet. It weighs less than a pound and easily fits in my purse. I'm a business woman but I also enjoy pleasure so it appeases both sides with youtube, music, videos etc, etc. For the price its a must grab!!!!!!!!!!!
So I challenged the Black Friday crowd and one of the items I picked up for my self was the $89 HP 7 Tablet. Myself and my family uses all Mac products but I decided since I use my macbook Pro and my iPhone for everything, I would not add another iPad to the house and give this a shot. It works so good I have purchased 2 more for my 12 and 17 year olds! The graphics are just fine and it has been able to handle everything from the internet to streaming videos to playing games. It is very easy to navigate and use. The only downfall I would have to say is the front VGA camera which can take photos or video. I have no reason to use the camera though as I use my phone or computer for things like that. So besides the camera, this tablet is a great deal and you get more than you paid for!!! I highly recommend giving it a shot!
This is my first experience with a Tablet and I have used HP products in the past so the initial price is what drove me to this unit. This HP Slate 7 is a special build for Walmart and uses an Intel processor to control all of it's functions. I have had this tablet for about a week now and I would recommend this to anybody. You can access all of the google andriod app's, movies and music through the google store which is very easy to use. No credit card is needed to download anything plus you can download the app's for Amazon, Netflix or Hulu + right onto the main screen. It also has a Micro SD slot where you can put an additional 64GB card onto the unit. I was looking at getting an Apple IPAD mini but for this price , This HP tablet was very hard to pass up.
This tablet is AMAZING I have not had it long, but normally by now I'm ready to returned the cheap tablets I decided to try... So far I've been able to Dow load every app I want. This thing hasn't froze, it shut down easily... types smoothly, and I haven't had any lag at all.... my only issue was setting up my wireless.... it wouldn't take the code.. . But I pushed the button on the side and it took that... I would definitely recommend this tablet to all friends and family, and strangers! The tablet does not feel "cheap".... and it looks nice! However I will be getting a case and a stylus because I'm a clutz with larger fingers.... however I typed this entire thing with the virtual keyboard on this tablet! It is for sure a GREAT buy! I'd buy another if I had the money!
The most appealing thing about this tablet is that it is made by HP. Most tablets in it's price range are some unknown, unreliable brand. When you open it, the setup is really easy. If you've ever had an android phone you'll know exactly what to do. If you're a first time user, set up is just as easy, all you'll need to do is set up an account and you're good to go. User experience is fairly smooth, although sometimes you'll need to put extra pressure on the screen for it to register what you want it to do. The screen is pretty dim, nothing special but very usable. The camera is not a high point, but if you MUST Skype than it'll do. It's not worth trying to take pictures on it because of how low the screen/camera resolution is. Adding apps was no problem at all, and I've had no problems adding the ones that I want on this tablet. The battery life definitely isn't the greatest, It last for about 3 hours depending on what you're doing. If you're a beginner, and just want a tablet, then this is the one for you! For the price you're definitely getting more than with other tablets in its price.
I bought 4 of these tablets as a gift for Christmas for my family. I also convinced one of my friends to buy one too. She loves it. The camera isn't the best but with lighting its ok. She Skype's her family in Portugal and Brazil with no problem. I bought this for 89 bucks on black Friday. For the price its a great buy. I'm doing this review on the tablet right now. I will review again once we had more time with the tablets
This is a Christmas gift for my parents so ease of use was important, but more importantly was sound quality. Out of the box you could feel the quality compared to other tablets, it just feels solid. My first test was to load a movie and test the sound level and to my surprise you could actually watch a movie using the built in speaker without a headset. The battery life on standby has done well after 48-hours in compared to another tablet I also considered, but returned. I like the fact that you are able to expand the memory using a micro-SD slot.
I was so happy with the performance that I purchased two more units as gifts.

UPDATE 1-Valeant to acquire Solta Medical for $236 million
Dec 16 (Reuters) - Valeant Pharmaceuticals International said on Monday that it would buy Solta Medical Inc for about $236 million in cash to add products for procedures such as skin rejuvenation, skin tightening and body contouring.
Last month, Solta said it had retained Piper Jaffray as its adviser to explore a possible sale in light of falling profits from its medical equipment business and pressure from activist investor Voce Capital Management LLC.
Valeant's latest deal is consistent with comments by senior executives in October that the drugmaker was seeking small, cash-based acquisitions in the near term, while still interested in a "merger of equals" involving a stock swap.
Shares of the company have nearly doubled in Toronto this year, with much of investors' enthusiasm stoked by its pursuit of profitable acquisitions.
Solta, which Valeant said would immediately add to earnings, looked like a nice addition, RBC analyst Douglas Miehm said in a note.
But Solta may have other suitors, he said, noting "obvious candidates" such as Germany's Merz Pharma Group, Galderma Laboratories and Allergan Inc.
An Allergan spokeswoman declined to comment. Officials at Solta and the other companies could not be immediately reached for comment. Continued...

Storage Steps Up
Feb. 26, 2014: Duke Energy Renewables' 153-MW Notrees (Texas) Wind Power Project includes a 36-MW advanced lead acid battery – the largest capacity battery facility in North America.
Funded by Duke and the U.S. DOE (50 percent) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act smart grid program, the $43 million battery project helps smooth the Notrees wind farm's naturally variable output. By storing wind energy, the battery can respond quickly to regulate frequency and also provide ancillary services for grid management.
Duke says developing expertise in this advanced technology will help expand the use of renewable energy, better integrate it into the power grid, and make the company more efficient at serving customers. Could batteries and other storage technologies affect the way power producers evaluate and operate their generating assets – in particular fossil fired generating assets they currently rely on to supply ancillary services?
With a year's worth of commercial operation now in the books at Notrees, Fortnightly's Power Profit recently spoke with Jeff Gates, managing director in Duke Energy's commercial transmission business, about the Notrees operating results and the future of battery storage.
FPP What's the status of the Notrees storage project?
Jeff Gates, Duke Energy: We just completed a year of commercial operation and we're preparing our first report for DOE. It will include operating data and data on the greenhouse gas reductions ERCOT achieved by using this emission-free resource instead of gas-fired generation. The report should be out in another month or so.
FPP You're examining the emissions saved by the capacity you supplied ERCOT, versus a gas plant doing the same thing?
Gates: Yes, we're compiling that information. But there are other benefits too. One of the key strengths of storage delivery is that it's so much faster and more accurate. If the system frequency level moves to one side of 60 Hz or the other, ERCOT will send a signal to increase or decrease output. A conventional power plant can take several minutes to ramp to the new output level, so the grid operator has plants that are chasing the signal. By the time they reach their new dispatch level, the grid operator may actually want them doing just the opposite, as the frequency may have crossed 60Hz again in the other direction. With storage we're not chasing the signal, because the battery can respond with full output to whatever signal they give us within less than a second.
It's like turning the shower on at home – you want it to be warm, but it's not, so you turn the temperature up higher, then the really hot water kicks in and you turn it down a bit. You adjust it until you get the perfect temperature. If there's a two-minute lag every time you try to adjust the temperature, it's very hard to tune in the perfect temperature quickly. It's always too hot or too cold. But if it were at whatever temperature it's going to be within a second, it would be very easy to fine tune it to exactly what you want.

Rabies warning issued for Camden County
CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. - The Camden County Health Authority has issued a rabies alert.
Authorities are concerned because of a number of dog bites in the Dawson and Johnson avenues area, which is in Kingsland.
People should avoid wild or stray animals and make sure your pets are up-to-date on their shots. Symptoms of rabies in animals include a change in behavior, biting, aggression, showing no fear of natural enemies, foaming at the mouth and paralysis.
Tips from the Camden County Health Department Environmental Health Division:
- Avoid contact with animals you don't know.Make sure your pets receive the proper immunizations.
- Dogs and cats should get rabies vaccines by four months of age, followed by a booster shot one year later, and another one every one to three years as prescribed by your veterinarian.
- Do not handle, feed or unintentionally attract wild animals with open garbage cans or by leaving pet food out at night.
- Never adopt wild animals or bring them into your home. Do not try to nurse sick animals to health. Call animal control or a properly licensed animal rescue agency for assistance.
- Teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly. "Love your own, leave other animals alone" is a good principle for children to learn.
Anyone bitten by an animal should seek medical care immediately and contact the Camden County Health Department Environmental Health Division at 912-729-6012 as well as the Camden County Animal Control at 912-576-7395 for the Woodbine and St. Marys area or 912-729-1442 for the Kingsland.

After the release of UC3:
Re: Game of the Year Edition AT LAST!
So I can see that you got the EU version of the GOTY edition.
Do the DLC packs come as a voucher code or are they on the disc? If they are on the disc, do they still install to the Game Data utility?
I'm thinking of getting the GOTY edition, but only if both me and my brother (who has the standard edition) can get the DLC on both our PS3's...
Re: Game of the Year Edition AT LAST!
Re: Game of the Year Edition AT LAST!
I have a question about this GOTY version. I have the first edition of the game. Region free. Purchased in the USA. I've made a lot of progress in that version. Be the campaign, multiplayer and trophies. And I'm thinking of buying the GOTY edition. And also want to buy in the U.S. My question is whether the GOTY version, will recognize my progress made in the previous version. I mean, to put the GOTY edition, the game will recognize my progress in MP and campaign, and my trophies? I ask this because I do not want to have the misfortune to put the game on PS3, open a new list of trophies unnecessary. If someone can answer me these questions, I thank you.
Re: Game of the Year Edition AT LAST!
Haha I finally got my Silver Ring. It's the same one you see in the pictures, but its actually legitimate silver and looks amazing!
Your saves in MP and SP will carry over my friend, so will trophies. They are linked to your PSN and not version of the game .
Re: Game of the Year Edition AT LAST!
My game of the year edition won't recognise any of my save data or trophies from my original version... Anyone know why not and what I can do about it?

When your BMW requires a top quality replacement Fuel Injector, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount.
