Read an Excerpt
"This is going to be perfect!" said Zoe Velez as she aimed her handheld camera around the field where the county fair was in full swing.
Smoke from the barbecue competition filtered over the patriotic bunting and banners, as well as the strolling locals and tourists in summer clothes who'd come to the village of Duarte Hill to hear country music, eat homemade chili and brave the midway rides. For just one week every year, this small town burst into color and energy that rivaled nearby San Antonio before going quiet again.
As Zoe swept the camera to the right, following the crowds that headed toward the looming Ferris wheel, she remembered her own childhood days at the fair, although she hadn't stuck around after she'd left Florence Ranch all those years ago.
A female voice sounded from next to her. "Ma'am, Jeremiah Barron's meeting us at the ranch in an hour for that interview. Shouldn't we be preparing ?"
Ma'am. Zoe lowered the camera and grinned politely at Ginnifer, the local college student who'd been accepted as an intern with the Walker & Associates PR firm for the summer.
The redhead adjusted her wire-rimmed glasses, as if rethinking her prodding, as well as the appropriateness of calling her thirty-four-year-old boss "ma'am."
Yup, Ginnifer belonged to Zoe, starting today. The administrative staff had assigned the girl at the last minute, and they'd met in the dirt parking lot just about five minutes ago. Ginnifer had no idea how to approach business with Zoe just yet.
But getting an intern was very good news. To the bosses' way of thinking, this assignment deserved the support.
She, Zoe Velez, had finally rated an intern. Yes!
Letting the girl's "ma'am" slide, Zoe motioned to a spot where they wouldn't be overheard. "Not to worry, we'll make it to Jeremiah with time to spare. I just want some establishing shots of Duarte Hill in its full glory. When the real film crew comes out here in a few days, the fair's going to be over, and some footage would be handy, just in case they want to use it for local color. It would add a certain down-home quality to the Barron image."
"Right, Ms. Velez." Ginnifer was nodding, taking everything down on her eager-beaver mental notepad while she clutched their carryalls.
Zoe kept her voice low as she filmed their surroundings, watching the footage on the digital camera screen. "Apple pie and family valueseverything we want to paint the Barrons with is right here. And they're going to need every bit of positive imagery they can get when this scandal finally hits the media. They've got business holdings all over the world, but their biggest base is in the South, where people won't look kindly upon a man sleeping with his brother's wife and hiding the affair for years."
"I can't believe you've kept it from the press for this long."
"The family's pretty secretive, so they've managed to lie low for the time being. But they know the bomb's going to drop, and they figured it might as well be a controlled explosion. That's why we're in Duarte Hill."
To figure out a plan for the big reveal to the media. To ease into the scandal Zoe's way.
"Cool," Ginnifer said, smiling, as if the intern had already figured out what a big break this could be for Zoe's careerand maybe even her own someday. "From the little I heard during my briefing about what Eli Bar-ron did, he'll need a good paintbrush. What a jerk."
Zoe's chin lifted a little. Her intern had no idea just how much of a jerk. But Zoe would deal with Eli Bar-ronand the rest of his broodfor the sake of this job.
"Ginnifer," she said, as if having to persuade herself, too, "just remember PR 101no judging the clients."
"Yes, you're right. You're totally right."
Zoe hated to lecture, especially when she, herself, occasionally had doubts about the clients she was hired to paint over sometimes. But she told herself that her job did help peopleit softened the reactions of the public for the innocent ones who were caught up in difficult situations. She just tried not to think about what it did for the guilty.
As she and Ginnifer moved on, they passed a charity tent filled with handcrafted auction items like quilts and leatherwork.
"PR 101, rule number twono calling me 'ma'am' or 'Ms. Velez.' I'm Zoe, okay?"
"Yes, maZoe." The intern gripped her bags tighter as one strap began to fall from her shoulder. "You already know the Barrons, right? And that's why Mr. Walker assigned you to this?"
Zoe's pride stood on end and, again, she made sure no one was around to listen. "My father was a foreman at Florence Ranch until recently, so, yes, I did spend a few years there. But I had to lobby for this assignment." She shrugged. "It probably didn't hurt that I kicked some major butt on the Lira political campaign."
She wasn't going to add how she'd left the ranchten years old and feeling as if she had her tail between her legs. She wasn't going to think about bygones at all. Wasn't going to think about how the kids at school had called her "servant" or how the arrogant Barrons had made her father feel like a lesser man.
She wasn't even going to think about how she used to stare up at that big mansion, dreaming about a day when she, too, could live like they did and without all the advantages that'd gotten them there
Ginnifer seemed happy with Zoe's answers. "Did you know the Barron brothers? They're cute."
For heaven's sake. "I knew them a little. When we were really young, Tyler and Jeremiah used to sneak out of the big house to play with us ranch rats when they were home from boarding school. Their parents would have a cow every time they found out about it. It's not like I really knew them, though."
Sneaking out to play hadn't meant Tyler or Jeremiah had been just like the other kids on the ranch. Tyler, especially, had been bossy. And while he hadn't seemed as blatantly superior as his father, Zoe had assumed that he would get to that point eventually. After all, he was a Barron.
Zoe's mind wandered to those days of playing hide-and-seek in the old barn. In spite of her misgivings about Tyler, she'd always found herself hoping that the golden boy with the sunshine crowning his dark hair would find her.
He never had.
Then had come the darker times after the whole situation with Eli Barronhow he'd mistreated her dad with just a couple of ill-conceived words after the boss had found some fences knocked down. Broken fences that her father had just discovered.
Lazy Mexican.
Things hadn't been the same after that. Her mom had kept her away from the Barron boys. Then, finally, away from the ranch altogether after Eli Barron had degraded her father and her mother had lost respect for him, divorcing him.
Zoe adjusted the camera. "What I'm trying to say is Tyler probably won't even remember me, if and when he decides to return my phone calls. Jeremiah barely recalled me when I asked to make an appointment for an interview with him. Chet didn't grow up on the ranch, so I didn't know him in the first place."
Ginnifer looked as if she was going to ask more questions, but Zoe took off, walking toward the midway.
There, she got some establishing footage before they went back to the exhibit lanes. The intern dutifully followed, just as Zoe had done during her own trip up the career ladder, scrapping her way from a poor ranch rat to the here and now.
They were passing a stage where an old cowboy was reciting some range poetry, and she ran the camera lens over the crowd, then continued toward the outskirts, to the fringes where a lone man was leaning against a power pole.
She fixed the lens on his weathered boots, then panned up faded jeans that encased long, muscled legs. Slim hips, lean waist, flat stomach, a pair of strong arms crossed over a wide chest covered by a light blue Western shirt. And his shoulders.
They were broad, too, but for some reason, Zoe got the impression that a lot seemed to be weighing on them.
When she got to his face, her heart jerked, fisting and unfisting as if trying to grasp something she'd lost over the years. Or maybe it was something she'd never had at all.
Tyler Barron.
His face, with its firm, dimpled chin, was shaded by his cowboy hat, but she knew his eyes would be a deep green, his hair a rich chocolate-brown.
She hadn't seen Tyler in a long timeespecially not this way. In all the photos she'd reviewed, he'd looked like a winner-take-all billionaire in designer suits, attending charity functions and political events.
But this Tyler?
He was the guy who used to ride the ranch, so natural in the saddle. Yet, somewhere along the line, he'd fully become the Tyler who'd been chauffeured up the driveway to and from boarding school during vacation time. The boy groomed by his father to rule the business world. Even back then, when she was only tenthe same age as Tylerit was obvious that he'd been destined to be more than a cowboy.
And that he and Zoe would never live in the same world again.
But now that space between them filled up with a long exhalation from Zoe, who was all grown up and closer than ever to being in the Barrons' stratosphere. In fact, she held the cards for their family.
She wasn't a ranch rat anymore.
Realizing that she had a job to do, she shut off the camera.
She'd heard that Tyler was taking a sabbatical from The Barron Group in the aftermath of Eli's announcement, probably because of the family scandal. But it just seemed odd that a nonstop businessman like him was out here, enjoying a country fair, rather than working side by side with Jeremiah in the city right now.
It was Zoe's job to find out why he was here instead, in cowboy clothes, standing apart from everyone.
She took another deep breath, heat creeping through her body, warming her belly as if it were filled with milk, simmering and threatening to melt her.
Then a pop of resentment flared in her, but this time, the heat had nothing to do with attraction.
Was she really going to stand here and act like a girl who wasn't as good as the rich family? "Zoe?" Ginnifer asked.
Great. Here she was, having a hot flash in the middle of the fair. Even her intern had noticed.
Zoe relieved Ginnifer of one of the carryalls, slinging it over her shoulder, where it crumpled her otherwise professional white linen sleeveless blouse. She handed the camera over to her intern.
"Catch some more of that local color, okay? We'll meet back here in fifteen."
For some reason, she didn't want Ginnifer there when she approached Tyler. Maybe she was afraid she would be blushing too much, even though her skin tone hid that pretty well. Still, rising PR stars didn't blush.
"Gotcha," Ginnifer said, happily taking the camera and wandering toward a tent in which a cowboy was cracking a whip from the safety of a stage, exhibiting his prowess.
Zoe smoothed down her shirt as best as she could, her heart beating beneath it so hard that she could've sworn the linen fluttered. She tucked a strand of straight-edged, neck-length hair behind her ear, then exhaled, realizing she'd just been holding her breath.
She glanced at Tyler again and frowned. The lone cowboy. Where was the self-assured Barron scion she remembered?
Raising her chin, she moved toward him, but the closer she came, the more her heart took over, stamping through her veins, tattooing her skin from the inside out. Things even looked a little surreal as her head went light.
She stood next to him, but it took him a moment to realize that someone was there. Even in that short time, she caught the scent of himleather and soap.
Like old times on the ranch.
When he did look at her, something clicked in his green gaze. But it couldn't have been recognition: it had been so long since she'd seen him and, even then, they hadn't really known each other.
Then a smile crept over his mouth, and Zoe felt as if she was the only woman in the world.
Yet as soon as it was there, it was gone, leaving Zoe to try to breathe again like a normal person, fighting off a blush that was powerful enough to make even her skin blaze like a five-alarm fire.
The Barron arrogance. He had it, all right. And it had probably even reached Eli Barron proportions by now.
"Tyler?" she asked, all business.
One of his eyebrows cocked slightly, but that hint of a smile never came back. It was as if he remembered he was supposed to be the boss of everything, including her.
She took the initiative and offered a hand for a shake. "You probably don't remember me, but I'm Zoe Velez. Miguel the old foreman's daughter."
It was obvious when he recalled her, maybe because he was vaguely remembering one of the many ranch rats who'd splashed in the swimming hole.
Or was he thinking about the girl who'd left with her mom, abandoning her dad, never to return?
No, he wouldn't focus on that. She hadn't been important enough to him.
Not in the way she was about to be.
"Zoe?" he said in a deep voice that she felt all the way down to her toes, even though he'd lent a civil distance to her name.
And, just like that, she started to melt again.
When Tyler had first seen her, he'd recognized her.
But it wasn't in a way that allowed him to recall her name, or exactly who she was. She'd only seemed familiar enough to send a twang of. .something through him that deserted him even before he could identify it.
All he knew was that, whatever it was about her, it felt comfortable. Real. Unlike everything else he'd been through lately.
Then she'd told him her name, and he'd barely thought of a little girla ranch kid who'd been just as much of a country miss as he'd been a cowboy. It had reminded him of who he used to be before they'd all changed.
As he perused her, his heart clenched again, just as it had when he'd first laid eyes on herwhen he hadn't even recognized the old foreman's daughter and he'd only been reacting to a gorgeous woman coming toward him. Even now, an afterburn trailed through Tyler, sizzling in places he preferred to keep cold.
Cold was good right now. It allowed him to recover. Allowed him to take a more aloof look at everything around him.
Even Zoe Velez.
Her straight, dark brown hair was cut short, in a style that came to her neck and slightly flipped up at the ends.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: This paper describes a method to map surface energy fluxes by combining remotely sensed thermal infrared and visible-near infrared data with near surface meteorological data. The method is applied to the USDA/ARS El Reno Grazing Lands Research Laboratory site in Oklahoma as part of the 1997 Southern Great Plains Experiment.
Technical Abstract: The estimation of surface energy fluxes using remotely sensed data requires the combination of data from several sources including land use, vegetation cover, and surface temperature. Land use and vegetation cover were obtained from visible and near infrared (VNIR) data, while the state variable, surface temperature, was obtained from thermal infrared (TIR) data. An approach to combine these data with an energy balance model was studied as part of the 1997 Southern Great Plains Experiment. Toward this end, VNIR and TIR images for July 2, 1997, were analyzed over the El Reno, Oklahoma, site using data from the Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) and Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) airborne instruments. Intensive ground measurements constrained leaf area indices, canopy height, and surface meteorological inputs required by the model. The observed brightness temperatures, when corrected for atmospheric effects using MODTRAN, nearby radiosoundings and the temperature-emissivity separation (TES) algorithm, were mostly within 1 degree Centigrade of ground-based temperatures. The resulting surface temperatures were used in a two-source model that considers the heat flux and temperatures contributions from the soil and vegetation. The heat flux predictions were in good agreement with tower-based observations.

My mom is really stressing me out about this move. She is just so mad that the new job won't give me a moving stipend and I am just like we need to move on from this point. She wants me to get a tune-up change my tires and she is acting like they are having an effin blizzard in Michigan. I am just like so you want me to take back my decision?? I get it I really do. However the car servicing thing is just not an option. Tires yes tune-up no. I have a co-worker giving me her ebt card to go ahead an get some groceries. I have my old college roomate confirming whether or not her dad can load me and my stuff to michigan. She you is willing to take my small dog. Folks are trying to help. The principal claims she will be there and several others to help to make sure that I will be ok once I am there until first paycheck.
No jobs are moving for me in Georgia and I am sick of Georgia. I am tired of having to let oppurtunity after oppurtunity slip away because it is related to money. So what, I stay and continue not being able to pay bills or have the money to get certfied to be able to get a teaching job?? THEN I have to deal with people that have completely forgtten about my student teaching to get my recommendation letters to only work in a school system that is broken??? I don't know I am trying to power through and just get the move over with.

The Negative Culture of Book Reviewing
i was missing harriet so i am thankful to travis & catherine for allowing me to post during national poetry month!
just finished reading craig morgan teicher's essay, "what poetry reviews are for (and up against)," at publishers weekly. i always enjoy reading craig's reviews and i found his essay's insights enlightening and measured. i also enjoyed kent johnson's MayDay feature on negative reviews. and yes, i enjoyed each interview that sina has done over at lemonhound on book reviewing (scroll down the sidebar to link to the interviews).
in craig's essay, he writes: "But in almost any conversation on the topic of poetry reviews, one question comes up: what's the point? This question isn't always asked with the flippant air that actually means "who cares?" Often, people really want to know: what is accomplished by poetry reviews? Do they help sell books? Do they keep the art form in line? Do they spur writers into creating better poetry or kick bad writers out of the halls of Parnassus? Do poetry reviews help readers?"
while i agree that these questions are important, one question that always comes to my mind on the topic of poetry reviews is why is there such a dearth of reviews of poetry books by writers of color?
i've written about this question at my blog in two posts titled "writing about book reviews is so much more important than writing book reviews" (read here and here).
and perhaps we can argue that the dominant culture of book reviewing is "negative" in the sense it often negates the presence of ethnic-authored books from critical discourse.
i started writing book reviews in 2007 to address the question directly…most (tho not all) of the 58 reviews that i've published since then (which you can link to here) are reviews of books by writers of color.
obviously, the reviewing habits of reviewers and editors should directly address this question.
to diversify our reviewing habits, a good thing for folks to do is to read journals/sites that focus on ethnic literature–looking for new books to review and good reviewers to commission. this list is not complete (but reflects my own reading habits) & i'd love to hear about more journals that consistently review ethnic poets (leave a comment on my blog and i can add your contribution to this post).

Now, Huawei is yet to announce when/if the Honor 2 will be coming to international markets, so it should be regarded as a handset for the Chinese market (comes out in early November), at least for now. But we can't hide the fact that we're excited about it because of its announced price of 1,888 yuan, which equals about $300. This is actually a spectacular price for what the Honor 2 offers, and that includes a large 4.5" LCD IPS screen with HD resolution, 1 GB or 2 GB of RAM, Huawei's own K3V2 quad-core 1.4 GHz processor, 8 GB of storage, 8MP camera and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Sound like a pretty good package, eh? And even if the pre-loaded software UI doesn't really appeal to you, you can always install whatever launcher you want and be done with it.
So, the only thing left to see is if and when Huawei will decide to bring the Honor 2 to the global market. Of course, we don't believe that the phone's off-contract price will be $300 globally, but there's some pretty good reason to believe that it'll be more affordable than most of the competition in this specification class.
How likely are you to purchase an affordable but powerful smartphone, if you know that it's made by Huawei?

Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
Rebecca Karni completed her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after which, having obtained a postdoctoral research fellowship, she was a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University's Departments of English and Comparative Literature. Her academic interests include 20th- and 21st-century global/world, British, American, Anglophone, Asian British and Asian American, Japanese, and French/Francophone literatures; literary studies in the contexts of globalization, transnationalism, and cosmopolitanism; the ethics of reading and representation; translation and mediation; affect and literary studies; diaspora studies; transnational (especially East-West) aesthetics, translation, and interpretation; the novel and narrative; film and visual culture; literary and critical theory; ecocriticism; and literature and/as performance.
She is currently at work on two book projects. One considers the Japanese British author Kazuo Ishiguro's fiction in the context of current critical debates on the nature of world/global literature and the ethics of reading. The second study focuses on style, translation/mediation, and affect in late 20th- and early 21st-century transnational novels and films. Articles related to these projects have either been published, are forthcoming, or are in progress.
Her courses at Roger Williams focus on post-1945 British and American, Anglophone, global/world, and contemporary literatures. She also periodically offers a course on Asian literatures and film in a transnational context. Through student-centered teaching and a wide range of literary texts in terms of both genre and provenance, as well as related films, her aim in all her classes is to foster in students a sense of the pleasures and perils of reading (of primarily literary texts and films, but also of non-fictional texts, performances, etc.) – i.e. a critical awareness as to one's own and a text's positions, perspectives, and biases – in a global/world literary context, as well as their confidence with texts and in their own interpretations.

Project Description2011 RADA
Single-Family Housing / Merit
This modernist duplex would look good anywhere, but it addresses the specific environment of urban Portland, Ore. Taking advantage of a corner lot, designer Corey Martin oriented the units to provide private side yards and abundant south light. "It doesn't have an overhang, and that's intentional," Martin adds. "You want to see the sky." Windows located at corners wash reflected light through sparely detailed rooms. "There's a tautness to it," said one judge, referring to a quality that is present throughout but perhaps best exemplified by the tension rod-supported interior stair.

PANIC seems to be spreading through jittery Wycombe fans at the moment.
Yes, Tuesday night's defeat at Southend was painful. Yes, the defending was kamikaze at best. Yes, Wycombe are now without a win in three games.
But the phrase I keep hearing and reading is 'another mid-season wobble by Wanderers'.
Utter nonsense.
I refuse to believe that a new group of players and management can be weighed down by the form suffered by a completely different squad and coaching team two year's ago.
The mere suggestion defies logic.
To their credit, I think Blues have been making League Two look easy in recent months and it is anything but.
Every team has its wobbles and dips in form. And League Two is the division where they happen to EVERY side top and bottom.
I only need to look at the current top seven to prove my point.
Only Shrewsbury - with four straight wins - can boast promotion winning form.
League leaders Chesterfield have not won in FIVE games, Rotherham have won THREE times in ten matches and Gillingham have TWO wins in their last seven games.
Bury have won THREE times in 10 matches and Port Vale have ONE win in seven.
That is why I think a modest league total of 80 points will see a team comfortably promoted.
Home games against Accrington and Burton and a trip to Macclesfield give Wanderers a perfect chance to creep closer to that target.
A lot was also made of the new 4-3-3 formation at Roots Hall and it being blamed for the defeat.
But the formation did not allow Barry Corr or Kane Ferdinand free headers to score. Bad defending did.
They missed Chris Westwood at the back and time will tell how bad his groin injury is.
I would expect Danny Foster to return to left-back after a tough night for loanee Anthony Straker.
Also Wycombe had switched back to 4-4-2 by the time the third goal went in.
Personally, I think the system worked really well in the first-half and could be the key to more goals and the seven wins and three draws I think is needed to sneak over the line.
So my message to Blues fans would be simple.
Don't panic.

It wasn't part of Joyce Lissimore's original game plan to help solve homelessness through the power of tax returns.
But that was an unintended consequence when the 69-year-old retired teacher decided to start helping people with their taxes three years ago as part of her volunteer work at Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam.
"A lot of people have been able to get enough money for the first and last month's rent that they couldn't before," said Ms. Lissimore, who started working with Trinity nine years ago on its food-bank program, then became an outreach co-ordinator, and then started doing tax returns.
She had 23 people contact her after her first year to say they'd been able to get housing as a result of the refunds she got for them. She guesses the number could be up to 40 by this year.
The Tri-Cities, of which Port Coquitlam is a part, saw homelessness drop by almost half between 2008 and 2011 – far more than anywhere else in the region except Vancouver, where the province and city are spending millions on shelters and buying or building housing for people on the street.
The number of people living outside in the Tri-Cities went to 27 from 76 in the same period and the local emergency shelter program has had at least some empty mats every night this winter so far.
Ms. Lissimore did 300 tax returns last year and expects to do about the same or more this year. Most of those returns do little more than ensure that a lot of low-income people get their HST rebate.
But for some, who have been living disorganized and occasionally homeless lives for longer, she gets much more: as much as five years of GST and HST rebates (the maximum) and tax refunds from many more years for people who once worked.
"Sometimes, I've gone back as far as 14 years," said Ms. Lissimore, who works out of the church most of the time using her laptop to record information and file returns.
She's helped out by a couple of other agencies: Revenue Canada and another non-profit program.
Canada's friendly tax agency has supplied her with forms and manuals going back to the 1990s, so she can file old returns properly.
"The income-tax people have been wonderful," she said.
And the Hope for Freedom program at Grace Gospel Church helps people get their papers together for Ms. Lissimore.
"We let them use our address at the church for paperwork and cheques," said outreach worker Lisa Batista. "And we'll write letters if they're not able to request their tax assessments."
The little tax-return windfall doesn't always mean a happy ending. Some people use it to fuel their addictions.
But, Ms. Batista said, the returns do help another group – those who teeter on the edge of homelessness because they're living precariously on the $610-a-month welfare allowance.
The small amount of extra money gives them a cushion for food and other things.
Of course, Ms. Lissimore says the biggest beneficiary is herself.
"What it's done for me is that my life makes a difference."

Recruitment season in high gear at LSSU Career Development Center
Posted: November 12th, 2013
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Lake Superior State University is in the middle of Career Development Week on campus with a number of activities being featured through its Career Development Center.
The center is hosting a number of special events through Nov. 15 that are designed to help students sharpen their job-hunting skills, but director Theresa Weaver said the center's staff can help students anytime, and students should always be thinking about what they plan to do after graduation.
"We've already hosted several companies that are looking for graduates this semester, and we have more to come in the next few weeks," Weaver said. "The City of Madison, Wisconsin, was here looking for future police officers and the Rehmann Group was on campus interviewing potential accountants. Still to come are 4D Systems, ADD Software, Gentex and JR Automation, all of which are looking for future engineers."
LAKER RECRUITING LAKERS -- Representatives of Applied Manufacturing Technologies were on campus recently to discuss job options with LSSU engineering students who will be graduating soon. With the group was Todd Rockafellow, a 1995 LSSU alumnus and graduation ceremony speaker, who was recruited himself by AMT while he was an LSSU student. Rockafellow, in yellow shirt, is interviewing Randy Gee (r), a senior electrical engineering technology major from Monroe, Mich. Also at the interview table are AMT recruiters Diane Haig and Jason Markesino. (LSSU/John Shibley)
A print-resolution copy of this photo is available here.
Recently, Applied Manufacturing Technologies, which recruits at just a few college campuses, was at LSSU talking to engineering students.
"Even though our campus is small, companies make it a point to recruit our students," Weaver said. "AMT only recruits at a few universities, and we are one of them. Their recruiters have said that they have a productive relationship between our Career Development Center and engineering professors, and that has made their recruiting at LSSU quite successful."
That relationship was forged while AMT Senior Program Manager Todd Rockafellow was still a student. The 1995 LSSU graduate and speaker at commencement that year was recruited by AMT on campus and has worked with the firm ever since. Now, Rockafellow returns to campus to look for more Laker engineers.
Weaver credited LSSU faculty for prompting students to take an interest in the companies that come to LSSU to recruit.
"Prof. Jim Devaprasad always does a great job at engaging his engineering students in the career development process," she said. "Our engineering information sessions and on-campus interview programs are always the best attended."
Remaining events in LSSU's Career Development Week include an introduction to an online career exploration tool called Sigi3 on Nov. 13, and an offering of the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, a tool that helps students find out how their personalities might fit with their career goals, on Nov. 14. Both sessions are offered from noon-1 p.m. in the center, which is in the lower level of the Shouldice Library. LSSU is also collaborating with the Michigan Collegiate Job Fair in Livonia on Friday, Nov. 15.
In addition, the center is continuing career forum discussions over the next several weeks. On Nov. 13, the topic is "What Can You Do with a Liberal Arts Education." Coming up on Nov. 20 and Dec. 4 are discussions on careers in biology and engineering, respectively. Forums start at 2 p.m. in room 303 of Crawford Hall.
Students may find out about Sigi3 and the Myers-Briggs Personality Test any time, as well as schedule appointments for career counseling, Weaver said. For more information, contact Weaver at 635-2898 or email@example.com. -LSSU-
CONTACT: Tom Pink, 906-635-2315; firstname.lastname@example.com; John Shibley, 635-2314, email@example.com; Theresa Weaver, 635-2733, firstname.lastname@example.com

Window header code
Shouldn't a window header come to the edge of the studs using plywood spacers? If they do not does this violate building code? The attached picture shows six framed windows. Three on the left have the header to the edge of the studs, three on the right do not. Is it the contractors prerogative to do it either way?
The header does not "Come to the edge" Headers are supposed to be set on trimmers, sometimes referred to as jack studs, which are sistered to king studs, and they are both supposed to sit on a sole plate. The purpose of a header, or a Lintil in masonry, is to pick up the vertical load above an opening and transfer it laterally to a vertical support located to the side of the opening. The vertical support then transfers it to the foundation via other structural members.
Thanks Jagans
I don't know how to attach a picture but it clearly shows half the windows have the header flush with the studs and half are centered and set back. How can I show you the picture? Why would a contractor install headers two different ways in the same building?
I think what he means is that they left the plywood spacers out.... thus making a 3" thick header, instead ot the 3-1/2" thickness the addition of plywood would make them.
Yes Willie, you're right
Is the spacer required by code? How can I attach a picture so you can see it? It's a six 2x6 inch wide wall. On some windows the 2x8 headers are flush with the 2x6 studs and other windows they are not. Maybe three 2x8s on some and only 2 on others with no spacers.
Welcome to the Forum!
here is how to post photos http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/how-a...to-post-12559/
there is no code requirement I know of that says a header must be the same depth as the studs, i.e., if wall is framed with 2x4 (3-1/2" depth) that the header must be 3-1/2" in depth also. with that said it's normal in my area that headers are the same depth as the studs in the wall whether they use plywood or rigid insulation as a thermal break.
I've never seen a header that wasn't flush with the studs. I wouldn't worry so much about the strength, but rather installing the sheetrock. You'll need to put a spacer on the outside of the 2x.
There is no core requiring the header to be flush with both sides of the studs. With 2x6 outside walls I just slap 2-2x10's together with a 2x6 on the bottom of them and flush the 2x10's against the outside of the wall. This allows for insulating the dead space at the same time as the rest of the house.
Bad framing job, but shim it out and move on.

Re: Extreme Revival
"Start A War" by Static X plays as the intro video airs. We are live in Stamford, Connecticut, and the audience is cheering loudly! These cheers quickly shift to boo's, though, as "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple begins to play, and Shane Douglas makes his way out to the ring
Welcome to EPW on HBO. My name is Joey Styles, and it's no wonder that this crowd is booing The Franchise after last week's assault! Let's take you back to last week, ladies and gentleman, and be warned- what you are about to see is shocking!
A playback of last week's attack airs. We come back and Douglas is in the center of the ring, microphone in hand.
You know, I've been on the internet this week, and I swear to god, it's like I'm listening to a broken record, because over and over and over and over again, I'm hearing "Why, Shane, why?". Well, I'll explain why, and I'll be sure to talk nice and slow so you can comprehend what I'm saying. Ten years ago, the company that made me famous went under, and the Franchise fell into obscurity. I went to other promotions, I put asses in seats, people came to see me perform live, but what did you give me back? What did you, the fans, give me back for busting my fucking ass off? Not a damn thing! People on the internet began to flame me, began to give me shit, you called me "a has been"! Me! The guy who single handedly built ECW! It wasn't Paul, it wasn't Sabu, it wasn't Terry, it was SHANE DOUGLAS who made ECW, and you have the audacity to call ME a HAS-BEEN! But I tried to play it cool, I tried doing it your way, and I went to Florida to manage one of the most talented tag teams that professional wrestling has ever seen! I did the autograph signings, I did the appearances, I did all that shit for a good, LONG time... and then I see what you ungrateful little bastards had to say! "The Naturals suck, Shane Douglas is a fat ass, why is Shane Douglas still in the ring", and that cost me my job! Do you know how hard it was to explain to my sons that I couldn't support them the way I used to be able to because you shit all over my good name? Do you know how hard it was to have to hang up my boots and take a job at a goddamn Walmart? Meanwhile, I look at a guy like Rob Van Dam, a guy who, compared to The Franchise, hasn't done shit in this business, and he gets all this love, all this affection, the praise, the money, the title runs, and even though he left this business for three years, he still gets all your love, your praise, your support, while a guy like me had to give it up, how the fuck do you think that makes me feel? Then..... then, a few weeks ago, I get a call from Paulie, asking me to come back. Well, I wasn't about to say no, but I knew that things were going to be very.... VERY different! See, for too long, I've been trying to kiss your asses, and where did that get me? That got me JACK.... SHIT! Last week, I made a statement. I took out years and years of aggression on a guy who doesn't deserve half the shit he's gotten in his life, and I made sure to show each and every one of you little pricks that the Franchise is back, he's pissed, and he's done with your shit! And another thing....
"Walk" by Pantera plays, and the crowd pops big. Rob Van Dam runs out in full attire, and the two start to brawl immediately. They spill to the outside of the ring before security runs out and breaks the two up, struggling to hold them back.
Security is struggling to keep these two off of each other, but I say let em' go at it! Douglas deserves to have some sense beat into his head!
We go backstage, where Christy Hemme is standing.
Ladies and gentlemen, last week, we saw Zach Ryder brutally assault Maven Huffma.....
Zach Ryder walks up to Christy, takes the mic, and shoo's her away. Christy scoffs before she walks off-screen.
Last week... Maven got what he had coming to him. Don't get me wrong, bro, I wasn't trying to hurt him, but you don't mess with the long island iced Z, baby! I mean, I'm a youtube celebrity, and the most talented... and good looking... guy on this whole roster! If your wondering, I screwed up Maven's neck pretty bad, so he's gonna be gone for a few weeks, minimum, but he got what he had coming! Let that be a lesson, you don't messed with Zach...... Ryder. WOO WOO WOO (He takes off his shades)..... you know it, BRO!
When we come back, "Cobra Dance" is playing, and Sonjay Dutt is standing in the ring, receiving scattered cheers. The music fades, and "Radio" by Watt White plays, as Zach Ryder comes out to good-sized boo's. He takes off his shirt and sizes up Sonjay.
MATCH 1: Sonjay Dutt VS Zach Ryder
The two tie up in the center of the ring, and Sonjay nails Ryder with a head scissors takedown, following it up with a wrist lock. Sonjay takes control for a bit. He goes to Irish whip Ryder, but Ryder reacts with a running neckbreaker. The two get to a standing position, and Ryder nails Dutt with a lifting DDT. Ryder gets the advantage for a few minutes, until Sonjay hits Zach with a DDT out of nowhere. Sonjay goes to the top rope and leaps for a 450 splash, but Ryder lifts his knees just in time. Dutt holds his ribs and the two slowly get back up. Sonjay goes for a punch, but Ryder boots him in the gut and nails the Zach Attack, getting the pin.
WINNER: Zach Ryder by Pinfall at 5:59
Ryder gets the win this time... at least it was a clean victory. Folks, we're now gong to take you to a video package of our Tag Team Division.
A video plays highlighting every single team in the division, but focusing largely on the Motor City Machine Guns, Haas & Benjamin, the Briscoe Brothers, and the tag team champions, Mexico's Most Wanted. We fade out of that, and into the backstage area, where International champion Carlito is sitting in front of a TV.
Up next, Hayabusa will take on Kaz Hayashi, and the winner will face that man next week for the IN title!
Commercial Break
Fade into Paul Heyman's office, where Paul is standing in front of his desk.
Ladies and gentlemen, next week, you will see the winner of this next match face Carlito Colon for Extreme Pro Wrestling's International title, but that's not all. As you all saw earlier tonight, Rob Van Dam and Shane Douglas are just itching to get their hands on one another.... and, as you saw last week, Bryan Danielson has some unfinished business with Jeff Hardy. So next week, in our main event, I'm gonna let them go at each other! That's right, next week, Rob Van Dam will team with the EPW World Champion, Bryan Danielson, and they will face Shane Douglas and Jeff Hardy! Plus, it's about time the world meets what many call the best tag team division in the world today, so next week, Paul London and Brian Kendrick will face off against our tag team champions, Mexico's Most Wanted! That said, enjoy the rest of the show!
Camera cuts to the ring, where Kaz Hayashi is standing in the ring to a mixed response. "One Big Rush" by Joe Satriani begins to play, Hayabusa comes out and the crowd erupts in cheers.
Folks, if you have never seen the Japanese style of wrestling, Puroresu, you are in for a real treat! Kaz Hayashi is often called one of the most under-rated cruiser-weights in the world, and Hayabusa is a veteran of the ultra-violent death-match style of FMW, a company so extreme, that even I cringe when I watch their matches. And both of these men are clashing for a shot at the International Title, which is currently held by Carlito Colon, son of Puerto Rican legend Carlos Colon, and a tremendous wrestler in his own right. This is our International division, taking the best pro wrestlers from around the globe and introducing them to an American fan base!
MATCH 2: Kaz Hayashi VS Hayabusa- International Title Number 1 Contenders Match
The two Japanese Superstars start off by tying it up in the center of the ring. Kaz hits a quick arm drag, the two stand, Hayabusa hits an arm drag, they stand, Kaz hits another arm drag, they stand again, Hayabusa rolls Kaz up in a small package. One count, but Kaz rolls Hayabusa over for a one count. Hayabusa kicks out at one, the two stand and face off, getting applause from the crowd. The two tie up again, and they go back and fourth for a bit before Kaz nails Hayabusa with an enzugiri, stunning The Falcon for a moment. Kaz gets up and hits him with a dropkick, making Hayabusa stumble backward. Kaz leaps up and nails Hayabusa with a huricanrana, sending him outside of the ring. Hayashi gets up and dives over the top as Hayabusa stands back up, hitting him with a springboard cross body. Kaz lifts Hayabusa up, and throws him back in the ring, Hayashi following. Hayashi has the advantage, keeping Hayabusa on the ground as he locks on various rest holds. After awhile, Hayabusa stands. Kaz goes to the apron, leaps and... Springboard bulldog by Hayashi! He goes for a pin, but... two count!
Kaz holds the advantage for a bit longer. Kaz goes to lift Hayabusa for the WA4 (Over the shoulder belly-to-back piledriver), but Hayabusa slides off his shoulder and rolls Kaz up for a schoolboy, getting a two count. Kaz is a bit puzzled, giving Hayashi the opening for the Dragon Suplex. He bridges it into a pin, and gets another two count. While Kaz is still on the ground, The Falcon hits a springboard moonsault, getting a third two count. Hayabusa is in control now, and he finishes Kaz off with a Firebird (450) Splash after a few minutes.
WINNER: Hayabusa by Pinfall at 9:38. HAYABUSA IS THE NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TITLE
Hayabusa celebrates in the ring. Camera cuts to Carlito, still watching the television, as Hayabusa celebrates. He nods before getting up and leaving the locker room. Camera cuts again to Douglas walking around backstage. A graphic flashes saying the main event is NEXT!
Commercial Break
When we return, "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple is playing as Shane Douglas walks to the ring for the second time tonight, being showered by boo's. He gets in the ring and leers at the crowd as the lights go dark, and "Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde begins to play. Christian comes out to a large ovation, and he high-fives a few ringside peeps.
MAIN EVENT: Shane Douglas VS Christian
The match begins with the two talking smack to one another in the center of the ring. Douglas shoves Christian, Christian shoves back, and Douglas goes to bitch-slap Christian, but he blocks it and hits Shane with a flurry of rights before hitting The Franchise in the chops with a drop kick. Christian takes the early advantage, wearing Douglas down with head locks and take downs if he got to his feet, until The Franchise nailed Christian with a big right to the head, dazing Captain Charisma long enough for Douglas to hit him with a neck breaker. Douglas uses his size to his advantage, keeping Christian grounded for a while. Eventually, Douglas tries for the Franchiser, but Christian retaliates by stomping on Shane's toe, thumbing him in the eye, hitting the ropes then planting the Franchise with a tornado DDT. He goes for a pin, but only gets a two count. The two stand, and Shane whips Christian into the corner. Douglas runs after him, but Christian catches him with an elbow, then hits him with a pendulum kick. Douglas backs away, and Christian goes to the top rope, hitting Douglas with the Flash point (Diving European Uppercut). Another two count. Christian has the advantage for a few minutes, and tries to hit the Unprettier, but Douglas throws him to the ropes, hitting the ropes himself, and hits Captain Charisma with a running crossbody. He goes for the pin... only a two count! The two stumble to their feet, and trade a few blows, when... FRANCHISER! DOUGLAS HITS THE FRANCHISER!!! Douglas goes for the pin... and he gets it!
WINNER: Shane Douglas by pinfall after 9:57
Shane gets to his feet and raises his arm in victory. What he doesn't see is Rob Van Dam running in through the crowd with a steel chair in hand. The Franchise turns around to see what the fans are cheering for, and he is greeted with a chair to the dome! Van Dam drags him into the corner and puts the steel chair down in front of him. Van Dam climbs to the top, looking for the Van-Daminator, but Douglas throws the chair off of him and rolls out of the ring, running half way up the ramp before turning around and shaking his finger at Van Dam, saying "Not until next week, Robbie!" The final shot of the night is Rob Van Dam staring the Franchise down, perched on the top rope.

And that is your life. And this is mine. Hi, I'm Ashton Irwin and honestly I kind of regret running away last year with my friends but I met people who affected my life forever in that year and when I think about that, I don't regret anything.

The guys at a local gunshop claim that polygonal rifling also lowers the risk of forensic matching.I figure they're pulling my chain, on the basis that there would still be microscopic scratches in the barrel that would lead to forensic matching?Are they pulling my chain?
Well, that's what Wiki says. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_rifling#Forensic_firearms_examinationSeems logical, but who knows except real forensic examiners?
There are advantages of both rifling types and also some disadvantages. There are a few different ways to "cut" conventional rifling...some better, and more expensive than others but as far as I know poly rifling can only be hammer forged. I do prefer poly rifling in pistols but rather have conventional rifling in rifles for a few reasons. I wouldn't make a blanket statement that one is better than the other but the both have their places.
What are those reasons?
Bullet weights have little to do with rifling type... but the rate of twist.
I agree with pretty much everything said here, but I am surprised no one mentioned the lead "issue". Remember poly barrels + Pb = boom!
Manufacturing poly barrels are no more expensive than a regular CHF barrel...but if they are superior than why aren't more manufacturers producing them?
Expense of investment in rifling machinery? If you have cut or button rifling machinery that works adequetly, then why re-invest millions in new machinery to make rifling in a different way if consumers won't notice the difference?
That's not the question...the question is why doesn't say, FN produce poly barrels? They already have the HF machinery so it shouldn't be much more than a different mandrel and a reprogram so the investment would be minimal. So if that is the case, why aren't manufacturers producing poly barrels if they are better than land and groove rifling?
Yeah... Like... What I said again: If you got 50 machines making cut rifling at a certain rate, why dust all that and make only poly barrels on one or two machines? It doesn't make fiscal sense man.Hey man, why don't GM make Toyotas? They both cars, right?

Hi there
I know that backtrack 4 is PXE enabled but the way it works doesn't quite satisfy my needs. I already have a PXE server in my network with Ubuntu,Centos,Fedora,Suse,Memtest,Knopix etc.
I need to add backtrack to the list.
So I copied vmlinuz + initrd.gz to /tftpboot/backtrack/
I modified my configuration file: vim /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL backtrack
KERNEL backtrack/vmlinuz
APPEND netboot=http httproot=hxxp://10.15.0.3/repo/ vga=0x317 initrd=backtrack/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=9999 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet
When I boot I can see the initrd.gz and vmlinuz are being loaded but then the system is unable to find BT4 directory and it drops into busybox shell. Which means that hxxp://10.15.0.3/repo/ is not being mounted to /mnt/httpfs/.
I can mount it from command line though:
httpfs hxxp://10.15.0.3/repo/ /mnt/httpfs/
All this makes me think that backtrack doesn't really understand following line in the configuration file:
APPEND netboot=http httproot=hxxp://10.15.0.3/repo/
So how to make backtrack aware that I need it to mount httproot=hxxp://10.15.0.3/repo/ to /httpfs during the boot proces ?

Elecrtical Panel Dangerous???
Ihave the electrical panel for my entire kouse in my spare bedroom. I am wondering if any elctrical panel will emit any sort of dangerous waves I should be concerned with or is this just a myth.Should I cover it and with what would be suggested.Ive worked with metal pretty much my entire life and would prefer to cover it with stainless or aluminum.Or is that just stupid and cover it with wood.A box or cover idea would be appreciated.
The box should already be metal.
As for the EMI emmisions, there are many theories on this but I would not be conecerned.
No concern here either. Why do you ask this question? Are there any issues present?
I've never heard of such a thing. Do not modify the panel or its cover in any way whatsoever. You can put a cabinet door over the front of the panel cover, mounted on hinges to the wall. Be sure not to restrict access to the panel or impede the removal of the panel cover.
An aluminum foil hat may shield you from dangerous waves...:wink:
I believe you might have problems secreting milk from your mammary glands.
Big myth, there is emi that is emitted, but is not enough to bother anything. I guess for the appearance you can put a wood door over it. DO NOT cover it up to where its not readily accessible, and DO NOT put a large object (like a shelf or something) in front of it.

Hi, we have bought a prestashop theme (184.108.40.206) 2 years ago. I want to upgrade my prestashop to 1.5.x and theme too. But the themes does not match with my actual design. We want: responsive, categories module in the left sidebar, featured products (5 in a row x 4 columns), items will be shown as list or grid mode, header and footer full wide (like my actual footer), customizable background (like actual). Please let me know if someone could create a theme like that. Previous theme available to modify. My actual website is w w w / a r t e f i m o / c o m . Clean the spaces, I don't want to be listed in google with this thread.
I can create a theme like that with your requirements for you. Kindly contact me through my profile with more brief and we can then discuss.
I can help you upgrade everything without losing your changes. Better than do a custom theme
Contact me to info[at]generictec[dot]com or in the contact form of themeforest profile.

Chancellor Tisch Defends Tests
On Thursday's The Brian Lehrer Show, New York Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch acknowledged this is a "very stressful time" for schools because of the shift to higher learning standards known as the Common Core, and the tests that come with them. She cautioned New Yorkers not to be discouraged by this year's low test scores because the state is "in a moment of transition."
Excerpts from the interview below. And you can listen to the full segment by clicking play on the audio player above.
"I want to underline the fact that it would be a mistake to interpret the decline in student test scores as a decline in student learning. Or, quite frankly, a decline in educational performance," Tisch said. "The results from the new assessments will give educators, parents and policy makers and the public a more realistic picture of where students are in this pathway to becoming college and career ready, to be well prepared for a world that really awaits them as they graduate from high school. And I believe that we are in a moment of transition. We are at the beginning of a generational challenge to make sure that the students in the United States, and for our particular reasons in New York State, are prepared to be competitive in the 21st century economy."
Isn't it like teaching them arithmetic and then testing them on calculus, to give the exams before the curriculum?
"Two years ago the state announced a shift to the Common Core. In some districts there has been a magnificent amount of capacity building around professional development to teach to the Common Core. Other districts not so much. As we go forward here, I'd like to remind your listeners that New York State spends over $1 billion a year, $1 billion a year, towards professional development. It is going to be our ability to target those dollars to make sure that every teacher and every school district gets the preparation that is required in order to teach to this new higher standard.
Commissioner John King… often says you cannot deliver Common Core curriculum in a box. Right? That's not what this is. This is about being able to teach students to read challenging texts. We are going to support teaching them, to support their arguments with evidence drawn from texts. To write from sources. To achieve deep conceptual understanding. For all of the parents listening out there, I would say one thing: for years we have been listening very intently to people say to us so much classroom time is wasted on drill and kill. In other words, just teaching kids something they can spit back on a standardized test. This is a move away from that. If this movement is successful, and I hope it will be and I have every reason to believe it will be, we will be moving away from classrooms that drill students just for the purpose of regurgitation."
Ian, a middle school English teacher in Peekskill, called to ask about the appropriateness of the tests. He said: "On the second day of the English test some of my top students, kids who scored fours in previous years, were not able to complete this test. My kids were weeping."
"Obviously, it stresses me beyond anything you could imagine to hear that children felt so upset with the testing. I would say a couple of things. First of all, the highlighting of the testing in terms of what's been going on in the press, in terms of what parents are reading in the local newspapers, I think that added to the stress. Additionally, I think teachers were well aware that this was the first year in New York State where student test scores were going to be used as a barometer of teacher performance. I think all of those factors, coupled with the new format of the test, and the new requirements of the test, has added to an unusually stressful situation."
"Anyone who thinks we are out there to stress children I would say then you don't know us. But I would also say one more thing, in New York State 80 percent of the students graduating from our high schools when they go to two-year colleges need to be remediated in math or English. That means they are paying college tuition for high school credit. What happens is, when you look at the completion rates, after six years in a two-year college the graduation rates hover between 22-24 percent. Which means our young adults are not prepared to do college-level work when they leave our high schools, are not graduating two-year colleges, and are leaving these programs in huge amounts of debt. So I would say the urgency is clear in the numbers."

Nala makes "bedroom eyes" at Simba, implying she wants to mate with him. Most children probably won't pick up on this.Nala and Simba tend to roll and pin each other. As youngsters this is shown in a innocent light, as they get older it gains sexual connotations. Young viewers probably will miss this however. Budding romance between Nala and Simba,who eventually become mates.
Contains mild animated violenceThough never bloody, there are several sharp-toothed battles. In an early scene, the slavering hyenas crawl out from their dark, steaming boneyard to threaten young Simba, Nala and Zazu, who is the king's majordomo. They stick Zazu in a lava pit in an effort to cook him (he rockets off with a smoking trail) and then lunge with snapping jaws at the scurrying cubs. Simba scratches a hyena's face in defense of Nala. Just before disaster strikes, Mufasa charges in and bats the hyenas violently about. Scar tosses his hyena friends the haunch of a zebra and the creatures quickly begin eating it offscreen. (Scraps of striped skin dangle briefly from their gobbling mouths.) PGA massive tussle between an older Simba and the lionesses and scores of glowering-eyed hyenas fills the screen with snarling, snapping teeth, scratching claws and leaping flames. Simba and Scar pummel each other in slow motion. Just as he did with Mufasa, Scar digs his claws into Simba's paws. PGOne of the more frightening and peril-filled scenes for younger viewers finds Mufasa and a young Simba struggling to escape from a flood of stampeding antelope. The lions are kicked, stomped and sent careening back and forth by the herd. Mufasa lifts Simba to safety but, thanks to Scar, tumbles backward into the surging mass of animals. We later see Mufasa lying still, seemingly unscathed but undoubtedly dead as Simba tries to nudge him awake. PGComedically, Zazu is bumped back and forth by a variety of animals during a musical number. And he ends up pinned beneath the ample rump of a female rhino. A hyena falls into a briar patch and emerges covered in barbs and stickers. GRafiki, a baboon fights a pack of hyenas. Done for comedic effect.
Contains very mild languageSeveral uses of "geez." A hyena calls his barb-covered fellow a "cactus butt." A yell substitutes for an unspoken profanity when we hear, "Why do I always have to save your AHHHH!"Fart is almost said
Contains some upsetting scenes and mildly intense fight sequencesAll of the comments below are more disturbing in the fratricidal context of Scar, who sets up his brother Mufasa, to be killed in a stampede so that he can be King. Even worse, he convinces his mourning nephew Simba that it is his fault. And then, encourages young Simba to leave the safety of their kingdom for a dangerous place in hopes that he is killed off by hyenas (eliminating future competition). The idea that an uncle would deliberately guilt his nephew away from his own family for personal gain is unbearable. A tragic tale of a good brother, a bad brother (& uncle) and an innocent cub. The uncle embodies selfishness, greed and betrayal. The father is simply a victim who trusts his brother. The cub is conned, but survives, makes friends and finds the courage to defeat his uncle in the end.Most of the movie is quite emotional, either from overwhelming happiness, or from sadness.A cub mourns is father's death, while standing next to his corpse. This is a very long, and emotional scene. Most children, and adults will find it very sad. - PGThe elephant graveyard and chase scene may frighten some young children. - PGA stampede of wildebeest nearly tramples young Simba to death. This is a long scene, and is one of the main intense parts of the movie. - PGDuring the wildebeest stampede, Mufasa is thrown off of a cliff by Scar, and perishes. The shot cuts away seconds before he hits the ground. - PGSimba and Scar have a brutal fight at the climax of the movie. This is a very intense scene. The two lions bite and slash at each other, but little or no blood is shown due to the firey red scene.During the fight scene at the end of the movie, Simba is thrown off the edge of a cliff, but grabs onto the edge, and is dangling over a firest fire, but doesn't fall.This part can be intense. - PGSimba's reaction of horror to the stampede coming toward him could be unnerving for young viewers, mainly due to the darker lighting, extreme close-up and possibly being *too* convincing for conveying fear to a young child (the target audience). - PGScar will scare young childrenAt least two hyenas are show to be slightly insane. May unsettle very sensitive viewers. But done more for comedy.The hyenas parade themselves in a way similar to goose stepping nazis. Most will not pick on this but may unsettle.The idea of a threat coming from within a family/from someone seemingly trustworthy may disturb/frighten young childrenThe lions' roars may scare very young childrenBBFC - (U): mild violence, threat, infrequent scenes of emotional intensity.

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
Hello. When is the fastest you could have it finished? Does the price fluctuate or stay consistent?
I cannot afford $80, that is more than double the original estimate. Im sorry.
I cannot find where to increase my bid? Do I just type my new amount here?
The name of the author would be JorXXXXX XXXXX. I found the Edit Price button.
Thank you for your help. I know it is a somewhat unsophisticated problem for your skill level, but the community college I am going to has no java tutors in the cs lab and ive posted several times on the forums to get help from other students and no one responds. So this is the last platform I have for help on even remedial questions.
You can ask me again using "For LogicPro only" at the start of your questions like you did to get instant answers.
It will ensure that question is for me.
Please bookmark my profile page:
so you can come back and ask me a question anytime.
Remember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied with my answer, we can continue the conversation until you're satisfied and rate my answer as excellent. I can address follow up questions on original requirements at no extra charge and I'm always here to help.
Thank you for using this site!
Hello LogicPro and thank you for your quick responses. I downloaded and extracted the jGraspProjectLab4 file and opened it to view the contents. I open the "src" file and then opened the "Guide", "Location" and "Test" classes to compile and run them and I keep getting an error saying this "Location.java:12: error: error while writing Location: Temp1_jGraspProjectLab4.zip\classes\Location.class (Access is denied)
public class Location {
1 error "
I am not sure what to do.
I downloaded the zipped file, and put it on my desktop. I right clicked the zipped file and hit "extract all". Now there is a file with no zipper on it, on my desktop. That is the file I am using. Did I unzip correctly?
Ok. I tried again and everything seems to be compiling fine. Are the "Location" and "Guide" classes supposed to have no main method?
Ok great. I think that is the last of my questions. Thanks a lot for your help. Do I just rate you now and that finishes our transaction?


text: I was going to write that if you're at all interested in the presentation of data, attend a lecture by Edward Tufte. The thing is, he's so fascinating that anyone would enjoy his lectures, not just those interested in data. He's a former professor at Yale, and I expected him to be a bit pretentious, or for him to present as a snob/elitist. None of that came through. Okay, he is brilliant, and that came through, but not in a rub-your-nose-in-it sort of way. (Okay, he was dismissive of Leslie Gore's music genre. Really, Mr. Tufte? You're dismissive of Ms. Gore, but you have a blurb on your books likening your work to that of Frank Lloyd Wright's? Puh-leeese. FLW was a pompous con artist who needed to have his over-inflated ego pricked so that he'd leak as much as his houses did. LG, on the other hand, had keen insight into the angst of teen-aged girls. Her understanding of their need for revenge was frighteningly profound. Is there anything sweeter than "Now It's Judy's Turn to Cry"? I think not.) Mr. Tufte, to my mind, is like Michelangelo in that he sees what the data is trying to show, and he chips away until what it is, is. He invented...sparkines, I think that's what they're called. They're so obvious, it's like these things were invented? Weren't they there when the earth was created? They're just that obvious. Don't get me wrong. He doesn't dumb things down. He's all about presenting the content in the cleanest manner possible. He's like an Arts & Craft craftsman that way. He lets the data speak for itself. His books on data are so beautiful that they could be put on the coffee table, but they're so intriguing that you'll actually look at them. Do an Internet search of his name. Don't be surprised when you come to a site with art. ET's quite catholic (small "c") in his interests. He's got articles on his site about data; I can't wait to read them. CLEP 101, you might find Minard's map of Napoleon's Russian campaign enlightening. ET has a copy in one of books, and he sells a copy on his web site. I'm in awe of how much information could be presented in such a clear and concise manner. It's a perfect example of ET's point about letting the data speak for itself. You're first struck by the horrific story of the campaign, and it isn't until you look more closely at it that you're amazed at how complex in its simplicity is the manner in which the story is told. I've got a cold and my mind is more clouded than usual. So, to make sure I get my point across. Edward Tufte + data = good. (P/S You may hate this thread all you like, but NO liking allowed.)

Voters Are Deciding the Future of Local Police Department
East Syracuse, N.Y. - The village of East Syracuse will vote today on whether they will keep their police force or merge with the town of Dewitt force.
The polls are open until 9 p.m. at the Village Hall.
The plan would transfers full-time officers of the East Syracuse police department the Dewitt Police Department. The part-time officers would likely lose their jobs.
The village would pay the town $375,000 a year for the next four years under and at least one patrol car would be stationed in the village 24 hours a day.
In March, the East Syracuse Board of Trustees approved the deal that will cut costs for the village. Later in the month, the DeWitt Town Board also approved the proposal.
A similar plan in 2013 was voted down by East Syracuse residents but since the vote taxes have gone up by nearly 22 percent.
If approved, the merger would take effect on January 1, 2015.

The 221 and 223 codes alternate showing up on the scans, one is always there but they are never there at the same time.

Anyway, she cranks normally, starts for about 2 seconds and then kills itself and gives me the same message. the engine sounds completely normal for the two seconds it is running, so I don't think it is anything major. I tried to do some searching before posting this, but was unable to come up with any helpful threads. Just a quick list of suggestions I have already tried with no luck: changed the battery, twice; cleared the codes (didn't think that one would work anyway); tried to crank while jumping battery with another vehicle; swapped the Mass Air Meter (had my old working unit sitting on the shelf, made no difference). I have recently done some maintenance on the car, but that was well over a month ago so I don't believe this is an issue stemming from any of that work. Just for the sake of being thorough, the list of parts replaced: Mass Air Meter, Auxiliary Cooling Fan, Spark Plugs, Valve Cover Gaskets, and all filters. Car just clocked 123,000 miles if that helps anyone with some ideas. Any help troublshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated......
I think 2001 was the beginning of the total "drive by wire" throttle system. Looking at these diagnostic codes, I think it'd be worthwhile to sort out what "switch A" and "switch B" do, check the connections to them, and consider replacing one or both.
P0120 = Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'A' Circuit
P0123 =Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'A' Circuit High
P0221 = Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'B' Circuit Range/Performance
P0223 = Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'B' Circuit High
I have the same car, and so I'm really interested in what you find.
