The Importance of Location for Green Data Centers
Location is becoming increasingly important to the sustainability of ICT facilities. We've been tracking facilities in North American and Europe which try to leverage geographic features for greener operations. Our latest examples in the North America section of this post show how under-utilzed grid power is also making some locations attractive.
US company Verne Global was the first company we saw focus on Iceland. It cited what it calls the "Icelandic Advantage" of its data center:
The company also notes that its data center is in a re-purposed military facility, a European trend.
More: Verne Global and Green ICT. (We posted a video to the right. Please refresh your browser window if you do not see it.)
Microsoft considered the country in 2007 as a data center location, but rejected it. Silcon Valley Watcher reported, "The main reason was that Microsoft decided to locate its data centers no more than 500 miles from large population centers because of latency issues." The attempt to lure Microsoft did yield Price Waterhouse Coopers' Benchmarking Study on Iceland as a Location For Data Centre Activity. More from PWC about Iceland.
Another Icelandic company using the country's assets for Green ICT is GreenQloud, featured in a number of our posts.
Icelandic data center ThorDC reports, "Opera Software ASA, a Norwegian software company, primarily known for its Opera family of web browsers [signed] an agreement to move a significant part of its electronic data traffic to the Thor Data Center...the Thor data center will be the most eco-friendly data center in the world. This is both due to the type of technology it utilizes and because it uses only renewable energy from local sources."
There is a risk in operating a data center in an area with active volcanos: Eyjafjnallajokull and thel data center.
Elsewhere in Europe
See how unique Swedish data center is promoting its natural cooling advantage and learn more about innovative approaches to cooling data centers.
CloudSigma presents the location-specific benefits of Switzerland
From The Wall Street Journal in 2011: "Google Inc.'s opening of a €200 million ($273 million) server hall in Hamina, Finland, over the weekend is boosting Scandinavian hopes that other big Internet companies will choose to build data centers in the region, attracted by its cold climate and low electricity prices."
Facebook cites cooling as a reason for locating its data center for Europe, Middle East and Africa in Sweden near the Arctic Circle.
Green Mountain Data Centre is built into the side of a Norwegian mountain alongside a high-threshold fjord. The geologic feature retains a deep pool of year-round cold water - 8 °C - which the facility uses for cooling. The data center also uses renewable energy. The data center won the 2013 DatacenterDynamics "Green" Data Center Award.
The Data Centre Risk Index 2012 report "…ranks countries according to the risks likely to affect the successful operation of a data centre, risk factors such as energy costs, connectivity…the likelihood of natural disasters or political instability…energy security and education…" "The UK has moved…to second position this year. Its high international internet bandwidth capacity and ease of doing business put it above all other European locations surveyed. Germany is the second most popular location in Europe in which to locate a data centre followed by new emerging markets the Nordics…The U.S. retains its first place ranking and is considered the lowest risk location for building and operating a data centre in the world. It holds top position for international bandwidth and performs well in the other tier 1 risk categories as well as having the highest percentage of its population completing tertiary education. Canada remains in the top five low risk locations. Hong Kong has maintained its position as the location with the least risk in Asia for setting up data centres, and ranks seventh."
Ireland, too. UK's The Guardian reported in 2012, "Google and other multinationals say that the Irish weather is now one of the main attractions for global computer and online corporations setting up data centres in the Republic. The Silicon Valley firm has just established a $75m (£46.2m) data processing centre alongside its European headquarters in Dublin…Amazon also operates a cloud computing centre in the Irish capital…A year before Google's investment, Microsoft put an additional $130m into its data processing centre, having already invested $500m…UK-owned Telecity invested €100m (£81.3m) in August 2011 in a data processing centre at three locations in Dublin." The Guardian quotes Forrester Research - "Make sure you consider Dublin, it is becoming an ever-more popular alternative to London for the more abundant power, less expensive real estate, and climate suited for free cooling." - and a Telecity manager - "The cooling element of these IT facilities is one of the reasons why Ireland is a popular choice for data centres."
North America
Energy, climate, water and/or geophysical safety can be drivers for locations across North America.
The United States' Columbia River Valley became a popular location for mega data centers due to its inexpensive and low-carbon hydroelectricity, its climate for 'free air' cooling, and its fiber optic infrastructure. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon, Ask, Intuit, and even the National Security Agency (NSA) have facilities there. One criticism of this location is that while massive hydroelectric projects like these do yield energy with a low carbon footprint, other environmental impacts make the energy arguably not so 'green'. Another is that these companies are benefiting from large energy consumption subsidized by taxpayers at prices well below the US average.
The NSA's massive new Utah data center, is the agency's second in that state. Utah's low electricity costs as cited as a reason for locating there. The Institute for Energy Research noted that this low cost comes at an environmental price, "Utah benefits from some of the most affordable electricity prices in the nation. Coal provides more than 80 percent of the state's electricity, which contributes to the state's low prices because coal is the most affordable energy resource."
Microsoft selected Wyoming for its Data Plant project in 2012. "Wyoming's natural energy resources include coal, oil, and natural gas. Given its increasing need for renewable energy sources, Wyoming has been investing in advanced energy technologies that include both renewable and clean carbon conversion processes. The state and its local organizations have been very proactive in partnering with companies like Microsoft and FuelCell Energy to research and develop methods that will help provide sustainable resources for their energy portfolio. In addition, Wyoming's industries will also be able to benefit from the clean CO2 that is produced from this Data Plant. Wyoming has a large demand for clean CO2 and today a CO2 pipeline intersects the state with expansion projects currently in planning."
Data center operators are also on the hunt for locations with under-utilized power infrastructures. The New York Times reported in August 2016, "'A lot of this stuff is put in rural parts of the country that used to be part of a manufacturing economy' that has gone overseas, said Bill Coughran, a partner at the venture investment firm Sequoia Capital who ran much of Google's big engineering for eight years. 'Textiles and furniture created a big power grid in the south. Then those jobs went away.'" We noted a similar situation in China where Bitcoin miners seek out over-built energy infrastructure in remote areas.
Canada took a unique look at cold locations in 2011 with a UCSD/McGill "conceptual design" that combines evaporative free cooling with "seasonal ice storage" to obtain a 1.06 PUE. Proponents claim "potential cost savings of 74% and energy savings of 47% through facility changes alone!" Bill St. Arnaud cautions, "…the high costs of telecom in Canada, because of foreign ownership restrictions, undermines the business case for relocating US data centers to this country. Telecom costs in Canada are 8 to 10 times higher than they are in the US. Low cost, ultra high bandwidth connectivity is essential for attracting data centers and can be as important, if not more important than the cost of energy."
Other US regions are touting their advantages. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2011, "In Wyoming, the chilly winters and mild summers mean ambient air can be used to cool servers up to nine months of the year, said Jeff McSchooler, vice president of EchoStar Broadcasting. After visiting more than 50 potential sites nationwide, the satellite TV company decided last summer to build a 77,000-square-foot data center in Cheyenne, where even at the height of summer the temperature rarely creeps above 82 degrees." There were other inducements, "promising cheap energy for data centers' enormous power needs [and] the Wyoming legislature recently exempted most data-center software and equipment from sales taxes and appropriated $15 million for infrastructure improvements to potential data-center sites." The article notes, "Other states offer similar advantages. FedEx, for instance, calculates that the data center it opened last month in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be able to keep the cooling systems offline more than 5,000 hours a year."
Appleinsider.com offered information and pictures in 2013 about Apple's new facility outside Reno, Nevada. "Despite appearing to be bone dry, the site is actually supplied with underground sources that flow in from the north, but are held from running into the [Truckee] river by impermeable layers of rock. This provides plenty of water that meets the data center's high standards, ranging from low particulate counts to a balanced pH." Another location advantage is that the site is "rated by the Department of Homeland Security as within America's largest 'Safety Zone,' given that it is 'minimally seismically active,' experiences little threat from tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or ice storms, and is located far away from any nuclear power plants." No word on the long-term impact on area aquifers.
Geophysical safety
Seismic safety, hydro power, and cool climate are all promoted by CenturyLink as advantages of its new Moses Lake, Washington (USA) data center. "The facility's electricity is supplied, in part, by hydroelectric generators powered by the nearby Columbia River. The central Washington climate also allows significant use of free-air cooling, driving some of the lowest power usage effectiveness (PUE) figures in the data center industry...The site also has a seismic rating of 2B, the lowest rating in the western United States, making it a key location for disaster recovery solutions."
Other considerations can sometimes trump geophysical concerns. Verne Global's Icelandic facility, described above, did need special features to deal with possible volcanic ash.

Trident of Poseidon
this wiki
|Trident of Poseidon
|Production information
|Technical specifications
|Behind the scenes
|First appearance
|Last appearance
Broken by Henry Turner
- "Let me get this straight: the Blue-tails actually used the 'thrice-accursed' Trident of Power to control their own people?"
"They told us they got it away from Poseidon so no one could control them anymore. So they could be free."
- ―Jack Sparrow and Arabella Smith
The Trident of Poseidon, also referred to as Poseidon's Trident, was the mythical weapon of the sea god Poseidon. The weapon of a god, the Trident was used to control the creatures of the sea, including the merfolk, as well as create thunderstorms and strong tidal waves. Near the end of Jack Sparrow's teenage adventures, the Trident fell into the posession of the feared Captain Torrents. After Torrents' death, the Trident was given to a merman named Tonra.
Early useEdit
- "It's the sea god Poseidon. It's his trident. It's in a chamber somewhere below us. The trident is very powerful—it's the weapon of a god."
- ―Billy Turner
Poseidon's Trident contained within it an intense magical energy capable of causing earthquakes, wrecking ships, and even summoning the Kraken. Whomever wielded it also possessed the ability to take control over the race of merfolk. Poseidon had gotten the clever god Hephaestus to create hundreds of giant enchanted gems, all different colors of the rainbow, with each color representing one of the different types of merfolk. Gathering them deep within Isla Sirena, Poseidon created a magical link between the Trident and the gems, giving him the ultimate power over every mermaid, merman, and merchild on the Seven Seas. However, over a thousand years prior to Jack Sparrow's teenage years, the ancestors of Morveren, Aquila, and Aquala managed to get the blue stones locked away in a special chamber designed by the goddess Calypso, making all blue-tailed mermaids immune to the Trident's charms.
Control of the MerpeopleEdit
Eventually, Morveren, Aquala, and Aquila managed to steal the trident away from an unsuspecting Poseidon, but instead of freeing the rest of their people, used it to take complete control over their own race for themselves. The sisters hid the Trident under Poseidon's Peak, the place they kept the spoils of all their greatest wars, but once they learned of a resistance building against them amongst their people, decided they needed to place it in the care of a human to ensure it would stay out of the hands of other merfolk. The Blue-tails struck a deal with Captain Torrents, in which he would guard the Trident and share sovereignty over the merpeople with them, and they would be able to keep their status. However, once the sisters handed control of the Trident to Torrents, he swiftly made off with it—bent on retaining control of the Seven Seas all for himself.
In Torrents' handsEdit
With the power of Poseidon's Trident, Torrents commanded the merpeople to leave their home under Isla Sirena and pillage and plunder all the oceans of the world, giving him all the loot they found. The Blue-tails commissioned Jack Sparrow with the task of reacquiring the Trident from Torrents, and after an intense duel aboard the Fleur de la Mort, Jack managed to take possession of the weapon and blast Torrents into the sea, where thousands of infuriated merpeople were waiting to devour him. Rather than allowing the Blue-tails to resume their tyranny, however, Jack, taking advantage of his new position as king of the merfolk, chose to free them, putting the Trident in the keep of the merman Tonra and earning the merpeople's immense gratitude and reverence.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
- The Trident had been referred to by several names, mostly referred to as "Poseidon's Trident" or simply the "Trident" by those who knew of the weapon. It was also named the "Trident of Poseidon".[2]
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will feature the Trident of Poseidon as the sought-after artifact in the film.[3] The rumors about the Trident appearing in the film started in 2013,[4] with the Trident's appearance being officially confirmed in February 2015.[5]

It's hard enough these days to know what a flight is going to cost before you make it all the way through the booking process. An advertised fare of $198 round-trip to London might actually set you back $500 when you factor in various taxes, fees, fuel surcharges, and other often hidden costs. And now, reports travel writer/consumer advocate Christopher Elliott, things may get a lot worse.
"The government could now either end its rule compelling airlines to include government-imposed charges in its fares, or revise its rule to eliminate most or all requirements for airfare advertisements, or eliminate the full-fare advertising regulation in its entirety," writes Elliott. "If any of those scenarios unfold… it could make shopping for an airfare much more complicated."
If adopted, the Department of Transportation's (DOT) proposed changes would render consumers helpless in a jungle of different advertising schemes. The airlines, of course, love this idea because it means they can advertise rock-bottom "base" prices that don't really exist.
I'd say that's criminal, but—if the proposed rule changes go through—it would be perfectly legal.

Staying with my new kiwi friend, Karen
I had 3 lovely days in Saxmundham staying with Karen, a kiwi I had met while working - she works as a private carer. It was great to relax with a fellow kiwi and just hang out!!
I also squeezed in two days of training with Christies - one day on Mental Health, run by a psychologist - I was impressed with his approach! The other day was run by an excellent in-house trainer, Colleen, and covered Parkinsons and Multiple Schlerosis.

My WorldMature
I want to return to that land, where the music would play threw the night, and the stars shone threw the midnight sky with little resistance, where the wolves ran with wind, where i ran with them, where my feet never lost ground, and my wings would soar. With thoes like me, who knew me. Within the vaste green jungles, wild and viscious, with little pity, but freedom. There I was free. Here Im caged within the constant rummble of smoke and cncreate. Let me go. Let me go home. Where I belong.

Ford automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Crestline around town. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. Obviously, you bought your Crestline because you understood you would be getting performance and value both rolled up into one vehicle. Anyone who drives a Ford knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
The engine in your car or truck could not efficiently deliver power to your wheels without a working transmission. The automatic transmission on your Ford Crestline draws upon a reservoir of hydraulic fluid to both power and lubricate its moving parts. Thus, an automatic transmission filter is required to trap and retain some of the impurities that could be flowing through the fluid. Your car or truck needs to have its automatic transmission filter changed at regular intervals as recommended by the manufacturer. Your Ford Crestline automatic transmission filter does not simply screw on like an oil filter, nor does it drop in like your air filter. Your transmission pan will likely need to be unbolted and all the fluid replaced as well.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Get your Crestline back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Transmission Filter spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. Ford Crestline Transmission Filter parts for 1954, 1953, 1952 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

If agents aren't willing to continually evolve and refine their skills, then perhaps a 9 to 5 job might be a better option for them.
Why bother doing long hours of low-productive work with an expensive car lease? Life is too short, and there is help available from an unconventional resource. Trainers are great, but why not try other real estate agents for advice and mentorship?
Copying those who have achieved what might be termed as success is central to one's real estate career progressing to the next stage. 'When the student is ready the teacher will appear' is an adage that rings true once the student is devoted to improving.
Most, if not all, high-achieving real estate agents outside your core area will give you their time, advice and support because they understand the difficulties of building a real estate career. Don't be intimidated either – most agents achieving great things are just normal people with normal intelligence levels. The difference is they are clear on their goals, which drive their behaviour and in turn increases their work that produces deals, authorities, price adjustments, referrals and dollars.
Even if you have a wonderful mentor and great training in your office, a fresh perspective from an external high performer will confirm that you're on the right path. They will also give you a lift in confidence and add new insights to help address your blockages. Building long-term professional relationships with other estate agents will also offer opportunities for referral.
Change and growth takes personal energy and often in real estate the reservoir of energy can be running low. This is a testing time, and it is fair to say that the agents you're up against are feeling the same way. Get the upper hand by seeking advice from a high performer. I assure you that it is extremely likely that your competitors won't.
The phone may feel heavy – as it can for some agents with regard to prospecting – but rest assured there are answers, solutions, support and guidance at the other end.
The next step is to write down the challenges throughout a single work day and categorise them from 1 to 10. Find an agent that you resonate with and send a short text or email and ask if it's OK to call about the top three challenges. Book in a time to talk and go for it. Interpret the advice as you see fit and implement if it feels right. If it doesn't feel right, move on.
Best of luck and make sure you keep looking until you find the appropriate working relationships (plural!). In summary, note the problems, ask for help, implement, and repeat.
Go well.

"We have seen massive performance advantages and we have achieved 100% up time with our DataCore solution. DataCore is the best SAN software I have used to date."
Cal Letts, IT Systems Manager, John Nicholls
Research by TechValidate
Highlights of the survey include:
"The findings make it clear; storage is the 'big' problem IT pros must solve today. The value and need to virtualize critical applications is now well recognized, but soaring storage costs and unpredictable performance workloads associated with virtualization and consolidation projects continue to impede their progress," said George Teixeira, president and CEO of DataCore™ Software. "Surprisingly, nearly one in three respondents said they are still avoiding virtualization projects altogether because the related storage concerns and costs are too high."
"Storage virtualization software like DataCore's SANsymphony™-V storage hypervisor enables IT departments to manage all their storage enterprise-wide and to decouple key storage functionality and purchasing decisions from vendor-specific storage hardware platforms. This allows IT departments to regain cost control and achieve optimal utilization of whatever available storage they have, regardless of type," continued Teixeira. "At the same time, DataCore significantly boosts performance by using cost-effective, memory-based cache acceleration technologies and by automatically selecting the best storage devices and performance available on the fly. This enables our customers to optimally power critical business applications and to meet the continuously changing I/O and capacity demands of these mixed workloads."
The broad makeup of respondents to DataCore Software's State of Virtualization Survey provides insights across a statistically-significant cross-section of modern IT organizations from different size institutions and a wide range of vertical segments. IT professionals from organizations across the globe participated in the survey, with 56 percent of respondents from organizations with less than 1,000 employees, 23 percent of respondents from organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 employees, and 21 percent of respondents from organizations with more than 5,000 employees. Respondents represented a range of industries, including Financial Services (11 percent), Healthcare (12 percent), Government (13 percent), Manufacturing (15 percent), Education (13 percent) and IT services (14 percent). The average capacity managed by these organizations was 234 terabytes.
DataCore's 2013 State of Virtualization Survey was conducted in March 2013. The survey asked a series of questions about virtualization and its impact on storage. The full report may be found here: http://pages.datacore.com/StateofVirtualizationSurvey.html.

Why America's Military Must Be Strong (VIDEO)
Both advocates and critics of America's military dominance often point that the American military budget is larger than all of the defense budgets combined of the other top 10 nations. We feel that's a great thing. Why? Because as British historian Andrew Roberts points out, a world with a weaker American military will mean a world with more war, terror, and misery. Many of the 20th century's conflicts are a case study in what happens when America's military shrinks. Much of what's happening today in Russia and the Middle East is a similar case study. The U.S. military must remain dominant. In 5 minutes, learn why.

It's The Hangover-meets-Jurassic Park. While most stag parties involve paintballing, the pub or a strip club, one group of friends spent their big weekend instead doing some impromptu palaeontology, after they stumbled across a three-million-year-old mastodon skull while camping in New Mexico.
The friends were walking in the picturesque Elephant Butte state park, 240 kilometres south of Albuquerque, last week when they spotted something in the sand. One of the men, 31-year-old Antonio Gradillas, told local news station KRQE: "As we are cruising by, we see a large tusk or what seems to be a large tusk coming out of the ground about a good three to four inches."
App users: Watch the video here
The men started digging and eventually uncovered what would turn out to be a 450 kilogram fossilised skull, measuring approximately 5ft by 3ft, with its tusks still intact.
Read more:
• New dinosaur found (and why it's the 'chicken from hell')
And in what might seem an unexpectedly responsible gesture from a group of lads on a stag do, they then contacted Gary Morgan, chief palaeontologist at New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, to announce what they had found.
Mr Morganand his team of experts spent six hours excavating the fossil in full from its resting place beneath the silt. It has been identified as the skull of a stegomastodon, a prehistoric ancestor of the elephant, which stood some 9ft tall and weighed around 5900 kilograms. The species arrived in North America 15 million years ago and became extinct approximately 10,000 years ago.
Scientists said the fossil was probably under water for several centuries and had surfaced as the nearby lake steadily dried up.
Though the rest of the animal's skeleton appeared to be missing, it was possible to estimate from its teeth and location that it probably died around three million years ago, and was aged about 50.

I discovered the reason when I reached the site of this apparent piety: gentians. Wild flower lovers have been making an annual pilgrimage to see the spring gentians for over two centuries. The diminutive flowers have a star of five petals of purest cerulean blue arranged around the mouth of a short trumpet. These arctic-alpine survivors from a flora that flourished here after glaciers melted 10,000 years ago have led a precarious existence. In Victorian times they were dug up for sale to tourists; in the late 60s many were submerged below the waters of Cow Green Reservoir. At the moment they are safe, but could well become victims of climate change, driven out by a changing flora in a warmer world.
Part of spring gentian's mystique lies in the ability of a flower of such ravishing beauty to thrive in one of the harshest climates in England. In early May the surrounding vegetation is still little more than ankle high, a brown and withered sea of moorland grasses - and finding the turf studded with starry trumpets, bluer than the sky on a summer day, simply stops visitors in their tracks. So, like so many of the pilgrims, I found myself sinking to my knees to take a picture, a souvenir of this unique combination of plant and place.

shes mine!
*this is a split chapter between Josh and Rachel,starting with Josh**
Alex was back.Here.Now.I stood unstedily in Rachels drive way trying to look brave.Well,as brave as I could muster-even if my knees were skaking as if there was an earth quake.
"Fancy seeing you all here" Alex announced while licking his crimson lips.He wrung his hands out and squinted at Leighton with a smirk on his face."Hello my darling,Ive missed you" he called to her.Leighton blushed and looked down at the ground.I felt my cheeks grow rosy and heat ran to my face.I tried to stop myself but I just couldnt.
"SHES NOT YOURS!SHES MINE!" Rachel,Christiane and Leighton looked at me dumbstrucken and the smirk immediatly dropped from Alex's face.
"Is that so?" He asked me sinisterly. "Well lets see if thats true!"He sashyed over to Leighton and lifted her chin up so he was looking down at her. "Dont you love me?"He asked. "Arent I the one for you?" Leighton but her lip,unsurely.
"Well I do love you,baby.You know that I love you".Christiane an d Rachel gasped.Apperantly they hadnt been aware of this love affair...neither had I.Christiane drew Rachel in closer and wrapped his arms around her to keep her safe. "But ,uhm, the thing is...I kinda..you know...".Anger filled Alex's eyes and they glowed with the dark black.His chest quickly rose up and down with deep breaths and his grasp on Leighton's chin grew tighter.
" Actually baby, I DONT know!Tell me!" He growled. Sweat dropped from Leightons hair line and you could feel the tension in the air.
"Let her go!" I yelled and karate chopped Alex's hand away from her chin.Now, Alex laughed. Puffs of steam shot out from his mouth and left wintery clouds in the chilly air. His laughed bellowed through the yard until he could barely catch his breath.
"Your in love with him?A human?A feeble mortal?!"His laughs subsided after a few secods unil he became more more serious."Well, we will see about that."Leightons brows furrowed and she pouted at him,trying to figure out what he meant.
Suddenly I felt his hostile hands crush my shoulders.He slyly smiled at me and his fangs gleamed."When you come to relise that IM the one for you, i'll bring him back...but for now he's mine!"
I struggled against his tight grip and screamed for help."STOP IT!LET ME GO!HELP!SOMEONE!" Too late.He slung me over his shoulder like a rag doll and sprinted off under the dark canopy of the deep,dark forest.
***Rachel's POV***
"STOP!" Leighton said running after Josh and Alex.However,he heels held her back and she helplessly tried to catch up.Christiane and I ran after her and she ran into his arms."He's g-g-gone!" She sobbed."I'll never see either of them again!" I joined the hug and tried to comfort Leighton. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed at me. "Its not fair that my brother gets to have someone and I dont!And ever since you came, he loved you more!" after she was done her tantrum,she buried her head in his shirt and sobbed louder.I was shocked...what had I done wrong?Christian held her away from him and looked into her silvery eyes."Look I know your upset but dont say that.Rach hasnt done anything wrong and she was just trying to make you feel better." Leighton clenched her fists and forced herself away from his reach."See?I told you!I told you you love her more than me!More than your own sister!"And with that,Leighton ran off into the forest with tears streaming down her face yelling "ALEX!JOSH!".But this time, we didnt stop her.

5.0 stars 4 totalReview Richard Vanderslice
Posted by Christina
Mr. Vanderslice is the absolute top-flight best. He is immediately engaged and genuinely concerned, open, and reassuring. He is also incredibly knowledgeable, on point, intelligent, current, and ready to take action. I felt nothing but confidence and trust in his presence. I couldn't be in better legal hands.
Highly recommended.
Posted by anonymous
Richard is very knowledgeable in a variety of areas. This was very helpful in a particularly stressful landlord/tenant situation I faced. Richard was very patient, understanding, and will fight for you. He also has a strong knowledge of the court system and a very sharp mind. He is very fair. I highly recommend Richard as a lawyer.
Posted by James
I can't say enough good things about Richard. He is everything you can ask for in a lawyer. He is highly knowledgeable in his fields of practice, motivated, respectful, patient, compassionate and responsive to majority of your needs. I primary use him for custody and support issues. His experience backed by his understanding of family law and knowledge of how to the court system works has prepared me for a positive experience each time. He often goes above and beyond the call of duty. From my experience I would highly recommend him to be your lawyer.

Richard is practical and advocates your position.

After the Indianapolis Colts had survived a 21-14 scare from the Oakland Raiders Sunday, Manning sought out the second-year linebacker from Texas-El Paso who had given him so much trouble.
"People appreciate when you go out there and play well," Thomas Howard said. "One thing that sticks with you is when guys you've been watching for years come up and say, 'Hey, you're playing well. Keep it up.' When Peyton Manning, a guy like that speaks to you, it's going to stay with you awhile."
Howard broke up a fourth-and-goal pass in the end zone intended for Ben Utecht, a play which preceded a 99-yard, 20-play touchdown drive for the Raiders.
Later, Howard intercepted a Manning pass when the quarterback was pressured into a duck by Derrick Burgess.
It was Howard's sixth interception of the season, giving him the NFL lead among linebackers. He had four in his first four games and then has had two in the past three games.
The other players with six or more are all defensive backs -- San Diego corner Antonio Cromartie (10), St. Louis safety O.J. Atogwe (seven), Seattle corner Marcus Trufant (seven), Baltimore safety Ed Reed (six) and New England corner Asante Samuel (six).
Two of Howard's interceptions this season have been returned for touchdowns, a 44-yarder against Denver and a 66-yard return against San Diego. Howard's 172 return yards on his interceptions is second only to Arizona corner Roderick Hood, who has 196 yards on four interceptions.
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said Howard's performance against Indianapolis went beyond the two standout plays.
"I thought he played fabulous, his best game since I've been here by far," Kiffin said. "He tackled well, handled his assignments, ran to the ball, played like a big-time player. He played like a big-time player and hopefully we can build on that and keep him playing that way in the future."
Howard is listed at 6-feet-3, 240-pounds but looks as if he weighs less. He occasionally has trouble disengaging from a blocker but attempts to make up for it with speed and athleticism.

"I honestly never expected it to come like this, but I was always happy to stay, and I was ready for any situation," Cox said. "It feels good that now that I stuck around this long I'll have this chance."
The template for Cox's career path was actually set well before he arrived at Georgia. In head coach Mark Richt's early years with the Bulldogs, his offense was handled with precision by David Greene. On the bench, however, D.J. Shockley was a top recruit who couldn't manage to muscle his way into the starting lineup.
For four years, Shockley waited his turn, and when his opportunity came, he grasped the controls of the Georgia offense and led the Bulldogs to the 2005 SEC championship.
That was Cox's first season in Athens, and at the time, he couldn't have known he would follow in Shockley's footsteps. When Stafford arrived a year later as one of the nation's top recruits, however, it was clear that Cox wasn't the quarterback fans were clamoring to see.
He began his redshirt freshman season No. 2 on the depth chart, salvaged a game in relief of Stafford against Colorado, then earned a starting nod a week later. That would be the last time Cox would open a game under center.
Since then, Cox has been the dutiful backup – working just as hard as Stafford in practice, preparing for action he rarely had a chance to enjoy. Through it all, however, he earned the admiration and respect of his teammates – much the way Shockley had years earlier – and the experience, he said, has prepared him for the new responsibilities he's about to undertake.
"Joe is definitely one of our main leaders on this football team," offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. "He hasn't played a lot of football, but it's a tribute to him and how he carries himself that he's a team guy. I'm definitely disappointed that Matthew did not stay, but I'm very excited for Joe Cox, and I think the team is, too."
While Cox isn't guaranteed the starting job when Georgia opens its 2009 slate against Oklahoma State, Richt said someone will have to prove to be worthy of supplanting the fifth-year senior, and given the competition, that seems unlikely at this point.
Logan Gray will be the only other quarterback on Georgia's roster with any game experience when spring practice begins, but while he has seen action on special teams, the only snaps he has taken under center came in mop-up duty against Georgia Southern last season.
"It's definitely going to be valuable that he played in games, but at the same time, a lot of that time on special teams took away from his experience at quarterback," Bobo said.
While Cox may have the starting job locked up, Gray's athleticism and speed could make him an appealing change-of-pace player. Richt suggested that several packages could be designed to get the ball in Gray's hands while keeping Cox on the field for the majority of the snaps.
Georgia has two high profile recruits for 2009, too, and both Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger have already enrolled and will begin classes today.
Cox said he helped the two freshmen move in this week and is looking forward to working with them when spring practice begins.
"They were both excited, and I know the feeling," Cox said. "I know they can't wait to get to practicing and working out with the team, and I'm going to do as much as I can to help them out, too."
Cox said Gray often teases him about being the old man among the quarterbacks – a fact that has been a bit hard to grow accustomed to. But after four years waiting for his shot, he's glad to be armed with so much knowledge and experience.
"It's a big change knowing that I'll be getting the snaps, but it won't change as far as how I prepare," Cox said. "I studied the game plans as much as Matthew did, I had to know just as much as he did going into games. It's just going to be different because I'm going to be the one under center now."

Washington, Apr 1 (ANI): People who have gone partially blind after suffering a stroke can regain some vision by doing a set of vigorous visual exercises on a computer every day for several months, according to a new study.
Dr. Krystel Huxlin, a neuroscientist and associate professor who led the study of seven patients at the University of Rochester Eye Institute, has developed a computer system that exercises the brain, forcing it to develop to compensate for the damage caused by stroke.
"We were very surprised when we saw the results from our first patients. This is a type of brain damage that clinicians and scientists have long believed you simply can't recover from. It's devastating, and patients are usually sent home to somehow deal with it the best they can," said Huxlin.
He added that the results have come as a ray of hope for patients with vision damage from stroke or other causes.
In the study, Huxlin studied seven people who had suffered a stroke that damaged an area of the brain known as the primary visual cortex or V1, which serves as the gateway to the rest of the brain for all the visual information that comes through our eyes.
V1 passes visual information along to dozens of other brain areas, which process and make sense of the information, ultimately allowing us to see.
Patients with damage to the primary visual cortex have severely impaired vision - they typically have a difficult or impossible time reading, driving, or getting out to do ordinary chores like grocery shopping.
The patients' eyes can take in visual information despite the stroke, but it's the damaged brain that cannot make sense of it to create vision.
The researchers sought to build on this "blindsight" - visual information, of which the patient is unaware, that still reaches the brain.
The study was conducted on seven people, four women and three men, between 30 to 80 years of age, who had had a stroke anywhere from eight to 40 months before the experiment began. All had suffered substantial damage to the primary visual cortex.
The team focused on motion perception, since it's an aspect of vision critical for most everyday tasks.
The researchers wanted to see whether the brain's middle temporal region, which was healthy in the participants, could be stimulated so extensively that it could take on some of the tasks normally handled by the visual cortex.
For the experiment, participants fixed their gaze on a small black square in the middle of a computer screen, and the scientists used a sensitive eye tracker to make sure patients keep staring at the square.
Every few seconds, a group of about 100 small dots appears within a circle on the screen, somewhere in the person's damaged visual field - in other words, when the patients stare at the square, they don't initially see the dots.
The dots twinkle into existence, appear to move as a group either to the left or the right, then disappear after about one-half second. Then the patient has to choose whether the dots are moving left or right.
A chime indicates whether he or she chose correctly, providing feedback that lets the brain know whether it made the right choice and speeding up learning.
The five participants who performed the training and completed the experiment had significantly improved vision. They were able to see in ways they weren't able to before the experiment began.
A few found the experiment life-changing - a couple of participants are driving again, for instance, or have gained the confidence to go shopping and exercise frequently.
"Basically, it's exercising the visual part of the brain every day. It's very hard work, very gruelling. By forcing patients to choose, you're helping the brain re-develop," said Huxlin.
The study has been published in the Journal of Neuroscience. (ANI)

I like to branch out into other genres for reading sometimes, too. Hey the hot chick on that one book cover is enough to get me to buy THAT book! (wink)ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful weekend, Mason!ReplyDelete
It's fun to read outside our favourite genres every once in a while. But it's hard to find enough reading time too! Have a great weekend :)ReplyDelete
Good luck to everyone .. and have a good weekend.ReplyDelete
I certainly appreciate your open-mindedness, b/c I rarely look outside the mystery genre. So, you've opened my eyes to some new books and authors!
There's a reason this is such a great blog...
I'd like to win a couple of these myself. Can't wait to see your reviews.ReplyDelete
