At the close of Ender's Game, Andrew Wiggin - called Ender by everyone - is told that he can no longer live on Earth, and he realizes that this is the truth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: he is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony.
He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony's training facilities, but instead the 12-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies. With him went his sister Valentine, and the core of the artificial intelligence that would become Jane.
The story of those years has never been told...until now.
The End? Listen to more of Ender's story.
©2008 Orson Scott Card; (P)2008 Macmillan Audio
I'm an IT Consultant, I don't like to think of myself as a geek! but i'm sure there will be those out there that do...
"The final chapter"
If like me you have read all the books in this series from Enders Game, through to children of the mind then you will be left wondering about the years between the finish of his military career and where he goes after being exiled! Well this book pulls all this information together nicely... I have enjoyed listening to all the books and all have made the hours pass with a want to listen more!
Orson Scott Card has certainly looked into these to flow and where there are differences in the stories, this final book pulls and irons them out. Read them all.
If you read these, the film Endors Game although good will seem a little left short, but don't be put off Harrison Ford as Hiram and Ben Kingsley sad Razor are excellently portrayed and adopt the characters well.
"So glad to find OSC. Storyteller Extraordinaire!"
As I read through the series I am more and more captured by the characters and the themes running through the stories, human frailties and strengths, challenging me with my own perceptions, expanding my sense of more than Earth as a place to exist.
I didn't realize I could be so enthralled by science fiction.
"Ender in Exile"
Excellent ensemble performance from the narration team as with the other unabridged books from the series. The story itself is more like an amalgamation of three short stories, but all the characters are as fully formed and as easy to empathise with as you would expect from Scott-Card. It is an entertaining addition to the Enderverse although the constant references to 'Bean' feel clumsy and the revisionist aspects may distract some from the deeper novels of the author. Overall, an enjoyable listen and a must for those who have a hunger for more from the empathic lead, Ender, and his sister Valentine. 4 Stars.
"It's ok, not for die hard fans"
It's ok, it's suppose to follow the best book in the series and it's contradictions with the other books can annoy fans
"A Change of Perspective"
First off, I pretty much read anything by OSC from books, essays, etc. The Ender & Shadow Series have always been my favorites.
"Ender in Exile" covers from the ending of the formic wars, all through the Shadows Series books (to date) and comes to a completion prior to "Speaker for the Dead". While the book has many underlying themes such as "How Ender deals with the knowledge that he killed the formics" the book feels more like collection of short stories than one cohesive narrative. Many of OSC books are written this way (Folk of the Fringe) and are made all the better for it. This is not neccesarily a bad thing. Though it can leave you wanting more if you expected one specific storyline.
The book expounds on many of the details left at the end of Ender's Game. Details as to how the actual decision to send him away from earth comes about and his actions after arriving at Shakespear Colony. It even completes some storylines from the Shadow Series. On these merits alone, anyone who is a fan of Ender or Shadow Series should read this book.
In my humble opinion, here is my one issue with the book. At the end of Ender's Game details are not given and a lot of information is left for the reader to imagine on their own. In my case it was how ender and valentine once again cultivate a brother and sister relationship. I'm sure it will be different for each reader, but "Ender in Exile" gives those details so the way you expected things to happen may be challenged by this book. I wouldn't call this a shortcoming but does call for a change of perspective at times.
All in all, I enjoyed this and would recommend it to all Ender fans. I would suggest that you read throught the Shadow Series before starting this book.
Note: There are some chronological problems between this book and the other books in the series. OSC discusses and resovles this in the Author's Note.
"Great for fans of the series"
This book really seemed to me to almost be too much of a 'tying up of loose ends' in the ender series rather than some of the more stellar (pun intended) writing that Mr. Card has done. I believe that what seemed lacking most to me was much of the wonderful character development that I have come to expect from each new OSC Novel. In brief if you enjoy the Ender series and have read everything else in it then this is a must read as it does shed more light on some parts of the Enderverse. This is NOT a good book for someone reading into this story for the first time.
"Ender in Exile (Unabridged)"
Of course the book is predictable. Any book inserted into an extablished series where the beginning and end is known would be predictable. If that logic held true they would never put 'new' rides in amusement parks because hardly anyone would use them. This was predictable, but as pleasantly enjoyable and convoluted a ride as the others in the Orson Scott Card theme park.
"Can't Get Enough of that Wiggin Boy"
Having cut my eyeteeth on 50's and 60's SF, I tend to hold all science fiction up to those standards. Audible has given me the opportunity to relive old favorites and expand my base of new ones. Ender's Game and its progeny hit the mark. A whole lot of Hugo and Nebula winners did not - I have had to flog myself into finishing quite a few. Even though I see the shortfalls some of the more critical reviewers see in Ender in Exile, I have to say I couldn't wait to get back in my car to immerse myself in Enderverse once again throughout the story. This would be a poor choice for a first entry into this series - but with a little background on the story, I think it's a fine effort. There is something captivating and comforting in living inside Ender's ever-infallible head once again. Aside from plot, characterization and pace, my idea of a good book is one that I don't want to put down. This book passes the test. Give yourself a treat and sit down once again with your old pals Ender, Valentine, and Colonel Graff.
"Last book in the series: For a reason"
This book is the last of the Ender books. That is a fact and it means you are expected to remember the other books. After you read the book you figure out that it is an implied fact; being the last book, that you have read the other books before, if you have not you will be largely lost during the points where the allusions and nuances come into play.
Great book for about 10 hours then it starts to slow down some, overall an excellent read with the same type of reading that you have become familiar with. Stephan Rudnicki really does make this book as the voice of another actor comes into play later on and totally spoils enders persona in my opinion.
The only downside to this book is that it marks the end of Enders adventures, his line of thought, and insightful reality that is the Enderverse.
"Not enough of the Ender I know and want."
I know this book is suppose to be about Ender brooding after what happens in Ender's Game, BUT...
This book seems to be more about what OSC wanted to write, then what I think we wanted to read. I really don't need an Ender book that lacks plot, drags somewhat, and doesn't really give us enough of the thinking/doing of the best thinker in the universe! Why do I want to read about Ender eating lunch, going to bed, reading books, etc. I'm exaggerating, but you get my point. Only a couple times we get the "great thinking" of Ender.
Card himself said that he originally planned for this book to be mostly about what happens after EG, but in the end, about 3/4 of it overlapped with EG. And unfortunately, the last 1/4 seemed hurried.
I wish he would have stuck with his original plan.
And one last point, I really don't think this book can stand on it's own, as Card tends to think. Sure, on some level it could, but if I didn't already care about Ender, I would have hated this book.
"Ender's back in fine form"
Well narrated by multiple readers doing different characters. A great addition to the Ender universe with more chess-like political intrigue, and more ever-relevant questions about war and peace, leadership, ethics, parenting, etc.
"Another winner"
I don't rate 5 stars lightly - If you liked any of the other Ender audiobooks produced by Stefan Rudnicki, then this is a must listen. It features a full cast (the usual) of narrators, and thankfully, they don't overdo the accents for this one (see Xenocide). There is also a nice afterward from O.S.C. Enjoy!
"disappointed. i love the ender books, but ..."
this was an enjoyable book, but it's like nothing actually happens. i was interested in what happens, but it seemed like 80% of the book was irrelevant and the last 2 chapters were the crux. while i liked the last two chapters as well as the rest of the book, the build up was non-existent and there was little surprise. so it's kind of "meh".
"Worth a listen"
One of my favorite writers and he didn't dissapoint again. The enderverse is so interesting that I'm looking forward to every new book that comes out. Narrators truly understand the book and I am enjoying listen even more because of them. If you haven't listen to Enders game, Enders shadow and all the others you should start and you won't be sorry

New Worry for Apple
Many of Verizon's iPhones Went to Cost-Conscious Buyers
Enter the cost-conscious iPhone buyer.
Verizon Wireless revealed Tuesday that it activated 6.2 million of the Apple Inc. devices, more than many analysts had expected. But it also said fewer than half of those customers paid up for the latest model, evidence of strong demand for smartphones among people who aren't buying top-of-the-line gadgets.
For Apple, which is to issue a highly anticipated quarterly earnings report...

Quench your thirst for knowledge.
At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who's using it. That's why we're pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA)™ with Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty.
Think fruity. Think refreshing.
Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drink™ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it's low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you'll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.
From forest to freezer: A Google Gulp history
It is estimated that nearly half of Planet Earth's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests, the vast majority of them undiscovered by humans and therefore not yet subjected to commercial exploitation. For Google, this cornucopia of undigitized data represented an irresistible acquisition target. So, for the past two years, as his 20% project, VP of operations Urs Hoelzle has spent one day a week collecting flora samples in several Bolivian sub-equatorial rain forests. For the most part, the compounds he returned with were nothing special – the usual grab-bag of future steroids, muscle relaxants, skin care appliqués and long-shot cancer drugs.
But on July 11th, 2003, while gathering epiphyte samples in the upper canopy of a kapok tree in the forbidding Cordillera Apolobamba range on the Bolivian/Peruvian border, Hoelzle snagged a leaf from what turned out to be a previously unknown species of strangler fig. Back in the Google Labs, early DNA sequencing and protein synthesis revealed that the compound – informally dubbed Ursa Major within the Googleplex – had certain remarkable biochemical capabilities. Eighteen months' worth of patent applications, trademark inquiries, budget prioritization and Phase II trials later, Hoelzle's intrepid adventuring finds fulfillment in a beverage aisle near you.
Chemical structure for "Ursa Major"
Here in the states it's April fools day, so be warned....

Medicines for osteoporosisAlendronate (Fosamax); Ibandronate (Boniva); Risedronate (Actonel); Zoledronic acid (Reclast); Raloxifene (Evista); Teriparatide (Forteo); Low bone density - medicines; Osteoporosis - medicines
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become brittle and more likely to fracture (break). With osteoporosis, the bones lose density. Bone density measures the amount of bone tissue that is in your bones.
A diagnosis of osteoporosis means you are at risk of bone fractures even if you do not have a severe bone injury.
When Are Medicines Used?
Your doctor may prescribe medicines to help lower your risk of fractures. These medicines make the bones in your hips, spine, and other areas denser.
Your doctor is more likely to prescribe medicines if:
- A bone density test shows you have osteoporosis, even if you do not have a fracture.
- You have a bone fracture, and a bone density test shows you have thinner than normal bones but not osteoporosis.
- You have a bone fracture that occurs without any significant injury.
Bisphosphonates are the main drugs that are used to both prevent and treat bone loss. They are most often taken by mouth. You may take a pill either once a week or once a month.
Common side effects of bisphosphonates are heartburn, nausea, and pain in the belly. When you take bisphosphonates:
- Take them on an empty stomach in the morning with 6 - 8 ounces of plain water (not carbonated water or juice).
- Remain sitting or standing after taking the pill for at least 30 minutes.
- Do not eat or drink for at least 30 - 60 minutes.
Less common side effects of bisphosphonates are:
- Low blood calcium level
- A certain type of leg-bone fracture
- Damage to the jaw bone
- Fast, abnormal heart beat (atrial fibrillation)
Your doctor may have you stop taking this medicine after about 5 years. Doing so decreases the risk of certain side effects. This is called a "drug holiday."
You also may get bisphosphonates through a vein (IV). Most often this is done once a year.
Other Drugs for Osteoporosis
If you are at high risk for fractures, your doctor may ask you to take parathyroid hormone.
- This medicine is given through daily shots under the skin. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to give yourself these shots at home.
- Parathyroid hormone works better if you have never taken bisphosphonates.
Calcitonin is a medicine that slows the rate of bone loss. It:
- Is sometimes used after a bone fracture because it decreases bone pain
- Is less effective than bisphosphonates
- Comes as a nasal spray or an injection
Raloxifene (Evista) may also be used to prevent and treat osteoporosis.
- It can reduce the risk of spinal fractures but not other types of fractures.
- The most serious side effect is a very small risk of blood clots in the leg veins or in the lungs.
- This drug may also help decrease the risk for heart disease and breast cancer.
Estrogen and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) were once often used to prevent osteoporosis, but they are rarely used anymore.If a woman is taking estrogen already, she and her doctor must discuss the risks and benefits of doing so.
When to Call your Doctor
Call your health care provider for these symptoms or side effects:
- Chest pain, heartburn, or problems swallowing
- Nausea and vomiting
- Blood in your stool
- Swelling, pain, redness in one of your legs
- Fast heart beat

The superbly balanced Super Vinci shotgun is the world's most reliable, softest-kicking, fastest-shooting lightweight 3-1/2-inch magnum semi-auto.
Benelli's revolutionary Vinci just got supersized. The much anticipated Super Vinci is designed to handle 3 1/2-inch Magnum loads. At the heart of the Super Vinci is the In-Line Inertia Driven system, designed to reliably chamber light 2 3/4-inch loads up through the most powerful 3 1/2-inch Magnums.
The Super Vinci features Practical Speed Performance (PSP)-a matter of how fast you can shoulder the gun... acquire the target... shoot... and recover from recoil to prepare for the next shot.
Precise instruments developed by Benelli measures and creates graphs that illustrate the total recoil of the Super Vinci against its competitors. Other guns have a peak recoil that's as much as 15 percent greater than the Super Vinci's. But more significantly, the total felt-recoil of the competitors' guns is as much as 22 percent more. Combine the In-Line Inertia Driven action with superior balance, light weight, reduced recoil and minimal muzzle climb and the shooter experiences the real timeline of performance speed where the Super Vinci has no equal.

Pomona's Patrick C. Tonner is remembered for being a lawyer, teacher, poet and the man who named Ganesha Park. For a few weeks in 1891, however, he was easily the most hated man in town.
It reached a point where Tonner decided to slip out of town when citizens started talking about taking justice into their own hands.
The cause of all this was water - then, just like today, the lifeblood of the Inland Valley.
Depending on who you believed, Tonner was either a victim of a misunderstanding or the mastermind of a plot to hold hostage the water rights of most Pomona landowners.
The Irish-born Tonner was the lawyer for Lugarda Palomares, widow of Francisco Palomares, whose family had owned part of Rancho San Jose in far eastern Los Angeles County.
Following the breakup of the Mexican rancho system after California became a state, there were significant court fights over these lands.
One court ruling produced a question on the titles of about 2,000 acres sold by the Palomares family to Pomona-area settlers.
In dispute was whether water rights actually went with each sale of land - which everyone had assumed they did.
The Spanish-speaking Tonner claimed Lugarda Palomares had instructed him to offer the disputed water rights to each landowner at whatever price he felt appropriate. This purchase at up to $150 an acre would insure the cloud on their title be lifted, he said. She would later deny having given him these instructions.
During this period, Tonner transferred some titles to water rights out of state to a relative of Dr. B.S. Nichols, one of Tonner's cohorts. This was presumably done so residents couldn't take legal action against him in local courts, but would be forced to take their case to federal court.
It wasn't until early November 1891, when letters written by resident John E. Packard appeared in Pomona's two weekly newspapers, that the city really understood what was going on.
More than 500 angry Pomonans attended a mass meeting a few days later where charges and threats were thrown about. Committees were appointed to fight what they felt was a great injustice.
"The community has fully waked up to the great damage being done by this cloud on the titles to land covering a large part of the valley," wrote the Pomona Weekly Times of Nov. 7.
The battle that ensued was watched with interest from afar. The Los Angeles Times on Nov. 10 wrote about "Tonner's Peril and His Crime Against Citizens of Pomona." Newspapers as far away as San Francisco carried stories about Pomona's water war.
The atmosphere got a lot hotter when residents discovered Tonner's strategic retreat out of town.
Tonner in the Nov. 11 Los Angeles Times said he decided to disappear "because I was advised that I was in personal danger if I remained.
"I did not want to do anything that would increase the excitement, even if I could have had a guarantee of personal safety."
Unable to find Tonner, the angry residents turned to Mrs. Palomares at her north San Diego County home, demanding an explanation.
With son Frank interpreting (she spoke no English), she told the committee that she had no idea Tonner was using her authority in this way. She thought she had instructed him to sell some small, oddly shaped plots of land in Pomona.
She assured all the landowners that she would renounce any authority given to Tonner and would see that each landowner got clear title to his or her land.
In the last mass meeting, Dec. 26, about 150 landowners rejoiced over the end of the threat to their lands. Among the resolutions they composed praising Mrs. Palomares and themselves for a successful end to the crisis was one negative note:
"Resolved that we believe it would be for the best interests of Pomona and vicinity for P.C. Tonner and B.S. Nichols to remove the shame and disgrace forced upon us by their residence among us."
Or in other words, leave.
Tonner nevertheless returned to Pomona for the next eight years until his death in early 1900. And it seemed that time healed the wounds from this water battle.
His obituary offers no mention of the water scheme. Instead, it told of his work as a lawyer and teacher and his positive contributions to the community.
"Those who knew him most intimately say the kindest and best things of him," read the obituary.
Tonner is buried in the Palomares Cemetery on Towne Avenue with many other early Pomona residents.

Property: Chimney Hollow Open Space
Priority Area: Blue Mountain (map)
Size: 1,847 acres
This 1,847-acre property, part of the Blue Mountain Project area, has been a priority of the Open Lands Program since 1997. Boasting spectacular rolling landscape, this property includes many vegetation types such as mountain mahogany shrubland, open tallgrass meadows, riparian drainages and forested areas. These native plant communities provide a rich mosaic of habitat for a wide variety of birds and wildlife including bobcat, mountain lion, bear, rodents, reptiles, and critical wintering range for deer and elk.
The Open Lands Program has protected several properties in the Blue Mountain Conservation Area including the 4,100-acre Blue Mountain Bison Ranch Conservation Easement, the Harper Conservation Easement and the 177-acre Ramsay-Shockey Open Space adjacent to Pinewood Reservoir. Public access will include a trailhead and parking area with approximately 10 miles of trails that provide non-motorized recreational opportunities for mountain biking, equestrian use and hiking. The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) is a partner and purchased the easternmost 1,600 acres of this property for a proposed storage reservoir as part of the Windy Gap Firming Project. If a reservoir is built adjacent to the Chimney Hollow Open Space, recreation will be managed by Larimer County Natural Resources. Kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing and other passive, non-motorized recreation will be available. Public access will also include approximately 10 miles of trail for hikers, bikers and equestrians. Future opening is estimated in 3-5 years. See Events Calendar for upcoming tours.

Purpose of this Genealogy Website
AustrianFamilyHistory.org has two primary purposes. First, to provide a helpful source of information and tools to assist you to conduct successful Austrian genealogical research. I believe that you will find assembled here a wealth of training resources not available from any other source. Second, to promote family history focusing on the Southern Waldviertel region of Lower Austria and publish genealogical research from that area. You will find these two main purposes reflected in links to the right.
Southern Waldviertel Family History Project
Unbeknownst to me, my interest in the Southern Waldviertel began many years ago as a teenager. During a visit with my grandfather, he presented me with an aged marriage record that his grandfather had received from the Martinsberg Parish office prior to his emigration to America in 1884. With the help of devoted Austrian friends the information this document contained, eleven years ago a virtual door was opened to my Waldvierteler ancestors.
I bear the Waldvierteler surname of Stütz, and as far back as records exist there, my ancestors lived in this region of Austria. Having researched their records and walked their lands many times over the past eleven years, I am bound to the Southern Waldviertel and to its people.
The Southern Waldviertel Family History Project's objective, although grandiose, is very straight forward. It is to document every individual and family who lived in select Southern Waldvierteler parishes during the years 1600 to 1900 as far as records will allow. This website currently documents 25,902 individuals in 6,980 families from the southern and central portions of the Waldviertel in Lower Austria. One may access this information by clicking on the "Genealogy Project Data" link to the right.
What is the Waldviertel?
The Waldviertel or "Forest Quarter" is a picturesque semi-mountainous region less than an hour's drive west of Vienna, Austria. Its name is derived from the extensive forest covering much of its 2,850 square miles. Agriculture, forestry, and the production of glass and textiles have historically played a pivotal role in this area's economy. The Waldviertel is bordered on the south by the Wachau Region with its Danube or Donau River, which served as a lifeline for much of Central Europe. Castles dot its landscape and point to a former age of feudal rule. Although dominated earlier by Protestants, their expulsion or conversion during and immediately following the Thirty-Years War (1618-1648), referred to as the Catholic Counter-Reformation, transformed the Waldviertel into a bastion of Roman Catholicism. The Baroque Monastery at Melk lies near the Waldviertel's southern base and serves as the gateway to this mystical region.

One Piece of the Senate Puzzle
Yesterday morning, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed S. 1733 – The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. The bill would create a strong cap-and-trade program with aggressive emission reductions targets through 2050. The bill now becomes one piece of a puzzle that will include the energy bill passed by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee earlier this year, contributions from as many as four other major Senate committees, and contributions from Senators acting outside the committee process.
The importance of the latter is suggested by the announcement Wednesday by Senators Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman that they will be working together to craft a climate bill that incorporates provisions of the EPW bill with other provisions in line with Kerry and Graham's New York Times op-ed.
Pulling these disparate pieces together into a coherent whole and garnering the 60 votes necessary for passage of a bill through the Senate will surely require strong leadership in the legislative process by the Obama administration.

Mines opens first new residence hall since 1978
GOLDEN, Colo., August 16, 2011 – Maple Hall, the first residence hall built on the Colorado School of Mines campus since 1978 opens its doors this week. The $27 million facility is 97,665 square feet and has 291 beds. Students move in August 19.
The new hall is just one piece of a larger change underway at Mines — a movement toward a richer campus experience. Starting this fall, all freshmen will be required to live on campus, bringing the total number of students residing in dorm housing to roughly 1,000.
"We're really trying to integrate the academic and student life experiences as one. Education involves all things, from the formal classroom setting to the experiences gathered with peers, professionals or professors," said Vice President for Student Life Dan Fox.
The design of Maple Hall aims to create a comfortable and fun place to live, improving students' overall experience living on campus. The building features five social lounges, a stone fireplace, grand piano, a community kitchen, a music practice room, and nine study and activity rooms. There are also two courtyards and a BBQ area outside the building.
The indoor environment of Maple Hall emphasizes the health of its occupants. One hundred percent outside air flushes through the building at all times improving the indoor air quality. Additionally, many of the interior materials are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Maple Hall will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certified because of its sustainable, efficient construction features:
- Built on a site close to public transportation, bike paths and local services
- More than 50 percent of construction waste was salvaged and recycled, including more than 75 percent of the two city blocks demolished during construction
- 202 tons of stone and 146,000 pieces of brick were manufactured or quarried within 70 miles of the construction site.
- More than 95 percent of the wood used, as well as the student furniture, is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, which ensures it was sustainably harvested.
- Low-flow showerheads and aerators installed on all faucets to reduce flow from 2.5 to 0.5 gallons per minute
- Double-pane, insulated windows coated with a metal oxide coating to reflect heat radiation
Colorado School of Mines financed the building through bonds, which will be repaid through student room and board fees. Maple Hall was designed by Hanbury Evans Wright & Vlattas and H+L Architecture.

Proper oil maintenance will help extend the life of your vehicle. Generally it is recommended to change your oil every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first (Follow your owner's manual recommendations).
Even if you do not drive often, the engine oil could get contaminated as a result of accumulated moisture. Contaminants are whipped into the oil as it runs through your engine. Neglected oil will eventually turn these contaminants into sludge. Sludge could eventually cause engine failure.
What is an air filter? The engine air filter stops airborne contaminants from getting sucked into your vehicle's engine such as dust, leaves, and debris before it can do damage to the engine.Read more
Wiper blades are one of the most neglected components on the majority of vehicles today. They are a key part to ensuring that you can see safely during rain, snow, and sleet.Read more
Motor oil plays a vital part of the engine. You can consider it the blood of the engine. But unlike the blood in your body, it needs to be replaced. Not only does the oil become dirty, but the additives in oil (which play such a vital part of its performance) begin to break down and can no longer perform.
During our multipart service, all of the engine's oil is replaced along with the oil filter. Vital under hood fluids are checked and replenished to the recommended level (excluding brake fluid). This, along with checking your engine's air filter, inspecting your wiper blades, adjusting the tires to the recommended pressure, and cleaning your windshield is done in just a few short minutes.
Our certified, friendly technicians will provide you with a "next service due" sticker, reset your maintenance indicator light (where applicable) and offer you a complimentary beverage while you wait comfortably in your own vehicle.
If your air filter gets too dirty or clogged, your engine won't be able to suck enough air into the combustion chambers. The engine will then run rich (too much gas and not enough air). When this happens, your vehicle may lose power and the engine may run roughly. Additionally, your "Check Engine" warning light may come on.
If you really neglect the air filter for a long time, your vehicle may stop running altogether. While permanent damage is unlikely, it is possible. If an air filter were sufficiently dirty and damaged, it could allow harmful, abrasive contaminants into the combustion chamber.
Since wiper blades are not used every day and are exposed to various weather conditions, there is not a precise mileage or time interval in which to replace them.
Ask yourself "How were my wiper blades working when it last rained". If you were not happy with your answer, you should have them inspected and possibly replaced.
Your Take 5 Oil Change is conveniently located at 2070 Gulf to Bay Blvd in Clearwater, FL, where our Certified Technicians are ready to serve you seven days a week. Feel free to stop in, visit our location, ask for automotive advice or simply get the air pressure in your tires adjusted. Enjoy the complimentary cold beverage while you wait in the comfort of your vehicle and experience the fastest oil change on the planet. So if you need an oil change and you enjoy good old fashioned personalized service you're home.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — Teri Cantor left the crash scene strapped down in the back of an ambulance.
Bleeding heavily, she was whisked to one hospital and transferred to another. The Everett woman spent five days in an intensive care unit.
The other driver, Johnothon Bagley, departed in the back of a patrol car. Police believe he was impaired by drugs when the Pontiac he had borrowed crossed the center line of a residential stretch of road in Lowell and slammed head-on into Cantor's Toyota.
Bagley, 27, fell asleep on the short ride to the police station. A ringing cellphone in his pocket didn't rouse him from his slumber, according to a police report.
In a basement conference room, he nodded off again and mumbled in his sleep.
More than two months after their worlds collided, Cantor, 51, rolls around her second-floor south Everett apartment in a wheelchair. She's recovering from multiple broken bones, including two shattered heels. Her feet are puffy and swollen and she must carefully tend to her wounds each day. She'll have to wait another five weeks for doctors to let her know when she might be able to try to walk again.
Bagley was arrested for investigation of vehicular assault. He posted $200,000 bail and for a while was out of jail. At the time of the crash, he was awaiting sentencing for several crimes that likely will send him to prison. Prosecutors later were able to convince a judge that Bagley had violated the conditions of his release, and his bail was revoked.
In a sense, both drivers are facing lengthy confinement.
Cantor has spent weeks at a time without leaving the tan walls inside her apartment.
Eight neatly sorted stacks of paper take up a portion of the beige carpet on her living room floor. They include medical bills and insurance papers. The tab so far exceeds $350,000.
Cantor was within a few blocks of her job in the inventory and receiving department at the Acrowood manufacturing plant in Lowell when the crash occurred shortly before 8 a.m. Nov. 15.
"I remember a red blur coming at me," she said. "There was no reaction time. There was no time to swerve."
To her, the crash sounded like an explosion.
"It kind of echoes in your mind," she said. "It's something that doesn't go away."
Collision detectives with the Everett Police Department are wrapping up their crash investigation, Sgt. Ryan Dalberg said. They will forward the case to prosecutors.
It pains Cantor to know that police believe Bagley was impaired by drugs.
His eyes were bloodshot beneath droopy lids when he was first questioned. His speech was slow and slurred, according to police reports.
A drug recognition expert from the Lake Stevens Police Department evaluated Bagley and concluded that his ability to drive was impaired, court papers said.
He's not been charged in connection with the crash, so toxicology results haven't been made public in court records.
On the day of the collision, Bagley already was awaiting sentencing for driving while under the influence of drugs. His license was suspended in August.
Six days before the crash, he appeared in Snohomish County Superior Court where he pleaded guilty to assault, attempting to elude police and possessing a controlled substance. In April 2011, he dragged a Lynnwood police officer a short distance after the officer leaned into his car during a traffic stop. Police found pills in the car and $3,204 in Bagley's pants pockets.
Police also arrested Bagley in February 2012. He later pleaded guilty to possessing 185 grams of heroin. During that arrest, police suspected he was driving under the influence of drugs. A blood test found methamphetamine in his system.
After the November crash, police obtained a judge's permission to search the car he was driving. They found "miscellaneous drug paraphernalia" and "unknown miscellaneous suspected narcotics," according to the search warrant.
Cantor wants people to consider the misery they can cause others when they drive impaired.
Her physical pain has been immense, but there also are emotional scars, she said. At the hospital and rehab center, there were many indignities — the struggle to maneuver into a position to use a bedpan and the need to rely on others to bathe her.
"It really takes a lot of your self-esteem, relying on other people when you have lost your independence," she said.
Cantor also dreads putting on shorts under the summer sun, knowing that long unsightly scars will remind her of the crash.
Since the accident, she has learned a lot about how the body heals. Along with her crushed heels, she broke her leg, her pelvis and two ribs. She also dislocated a thumb.
X-rays show the breaks and a mini-hardware store of screws and metal drilled into the broken bones.
It took three surgeons 10 hours to repair her heels.
Feet, she has learned, hold an untold number of nerve endings. The damage to her feet was extensive. Sometimes, it feels as though her feet are on fire. Other times, they prickle with icy goosebumps.
For now, she must sit and mend. She misses her job and the simple rhythms of the daily grind. She fears the muscles in her injured limbs are wasting away and losing strength.
A photo and short story about the accident appeared on the Herald's website the day of the crash and in the print edition the next day.
"People need to be aware that this is the rest of the story," she said.
"It's going to be an emotional thing for the rest of my life."

robert m. gurney, faia, washington, d.c.
The clients for this Washington, D.C., renovation have young children and a modern art collection—both of which tend to thrive in open floor plans. But the original 1876 house in the city's Georgetown neighborhood was "a series of very small, compartmentalized spaces," according to architect Robert M. Gurney, FAIA. He ended up gutting the deteriorating house and reconfiguring the plan with larger, fewer rooms that better accommodate the owners' lifestyle.
Gurney didn't want to lose the project's historic character, though, so he had all of the wood and plaster moldings within the existing home's footprint matched and remade. He stripped off an old addition on the back of the house and replaced it with a light-filled new one of steel and glass. "It's a synthesis of the new and modern with the old," he says.
The judges agreed. "There's a coherence to the whole," said one.

Grammar Hammer: Who or Whom Wants a Cat Hug? Me-ow!
- Posted in Press Release Quick Tips
- Tagged in Writing Tips
- Leave a Comment
June is National Adopt-a-Cat Month, and today (Monday) is Hug Your Cat Day, so of course this is the purr-fect excuse to distract you with pictures of kitties while teaching you a grammar rule.
This week, we'll learn how to use "who" vs. "whom," and also discuss the relevancy of "whom" in general. Is "whom" fading into hiss-tory?
Rule 1: Use the subjective "who" when the pronoun is associated with an action or description. That is, when the subject is receiving the action.
Helpful tip: Test grammaticality by determining whether the answer to the question would take him or he.
Example 1: Quit lion — who wants a kitty hug?
Test 1: He wants a kitty hug!
Example 2: Who is the suavest kitty?
Test 1: He is the suavest kitty!
Rule 2: Use the objective "whom" when the pronoun is the target of someone else's action.
Example 1: Whom have you upset?
Test 1: You upset him. He is paws-itively furr-ious!
Example 2: Whom did you awake?
Test 2: You awoke him. He is not feline early mornings.
Discussion: Should "whom" still be used in everyday communications, or is it old-fashioned and obsolete?
There is an increasing number of people who oppose use of the word "whom" in everyday language because it sounds "awkward" or "stuffy."
I'd recommend always using "who" in everyday speech, but trying to use "whom" correctly in writing, particularly formal writing. Do you agree?

WATCH: Lupita Nyong'o Runs Away From Snake During Photo Shoot
Lupita Nyong'o goes running from a snake in a video the Oscar winner shared on Instagram.
The footage was taken when Nyong'o shot her cover for the July issue of Vogue, in which she spoke about her rise to stardom, battling the red carpet, and her Oscar win.
In the video, Nyong'o uncomfortably holds a snake in preparation for a photo, and the second it's taken away from her, she darts away into a forest.
Nyong'o explained in the accompanying caption, "@voguemagazine #bts: rehearsal for the snake shot. Nobody said being on the cover would be easy. #FightYourFearAndWin."

text: It seems to me that, in religious matters, we just can't throw out the bathwater without throwing out the baby too. Perhaps, in some sense, the baby is the bathwater. Because religion is a human endeavor and we humans are mixed bag, it seems there is no separating the good and the bad — at least not entirely. I wonder if it's really possible to have the enthusiasm, the passion, and self-transcendence without at least risking dogmatism, literalism, and intolerance. [Read more…]

How Chicago became 'Chiraq'
President Obama may have gotten our troops out of Iraq, but the gunfire in his hometown of Chicago is still earning it a searing nickname coined by young people who live there.
On Easter weekend, 45 people were shot in the city, six of them children.
Five youngsters under the age of 15—four girls and a boy—were shot in a playground where they had gone after Easter services at a nearby church.
Witnesses agree that a car pulled up and one of the occupants asked the youngsters if they were in a gang. There is some dispute about whether the youngsters even got a chance to say no before the people in the car started shooting.
The most seriously wounded, 11-year-old Tymisha Washington, was listed in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds. She is expected to survive.
"Prayers Going Up Blessings Coming Down," read a posting on her aunt's Facebook page.
A Facebook argument had apparently sparked a completely unrelated shooting at the start of the weekend. Best friends Jordan Means, 16, and Anthony Bankhead, 18, got into the online spat with a man in his 30s. The man is said to have followed his final post by appearing in the flesh and shooting the two teens to death.
Two other men were fatally shot later in the weekend as they sat in a car that was also occupied by two kids, ages 3 and 7. The children were physically unharmed but no doubt will join those who are as mentally scarred by living in Chicago as were some combat veterans who returned from the war in Iraq.
And this bloody Easter weekend was preceded by a weekend in which 37 people were shot, four of them fatally. FBI Director James Comey happened to be in Chicago the following Monday, and he ascribed much of the violence to the gang culture so deeply ingrained in the city. But Comey had little to say about what Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy recognizes as the core problem.
"Until we do something about guns, don't expect things to change overnight," McCarthy said at a press conference that same day.
McCarthy noted that Chicago cops have seized 1,500 illegal guns so far this year, but the people caught with the weapons are all too often back on the street all too soon.
"It's like running on a hamster wheel," McCarthy said of the effort to grapple with the problem. "We're drinking from a fire hose, seizing these guns, and people are back out on the street. They're not learning that carrying a firearm is going to have a serious impact on their lives."
McCarthy invoked the memory of Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old who was killed by a stray round in 2013, just days after performing at Obama's second inauguration. McCarthy noted that her suspected killer had been at liberty despite having been convicted of illegal gun possession just two months before.
"If he's not out on the street, Hadiya Pendleton is out there being an honor student and continuing on with her life," McCarthy said.
McCarthy emphasized that the Chicago Police Department is pursuing a wide range of strategies to stem the violence, much of which is gang-related. And themurder rate is actually down this year. But even the smartest policing by the most dedicated cops can only do so much in the absence of effective gun laws.
"If you don't go to jail for gun possession, you continue to carry guns," McCarthy said. "You continue to carry guns, and people get shot."

USC quarterback Matt Barkley missed the start of Thursday's NFL draft as he visited patients at the Children's Hospital of Orange County. It turned out to be a good move because Florida State's EJ Manuel was the only quarterback selected in the first round when he went to the Buffalo Bills with the 16 th pick.
Manuel was the only quarterback selected in the first round, which meant Barkley must wait until today's second-and-third rounds to find out where he is selected. The Jacksonville Jaguars need a quarterback and own the first pick of the second round.
But the Jaguars could also choose West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith or Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib. Barkley's first-round omission will intensify the debate over whether he made a mistake returning for his senior season at USC.
Aware of his sinking status, Barkley wisely chose to skip attending the draft in New York and instead had family and friends with him Thursday.

The hardest decision after selecting which college you will attend is which residence hall you will call home for the next year (or more). Living on campus is one of the most enjoyable experiences of a college education, offering economic advantages plus convenient access to classes and student activities. We have four (4) halls for you to choose from.
Our traditional halls are Shelden and Coleman-Webb. Shelden is an all male hall and Coleman-Web is all female. These halls are "Suite Style" living; which means you and your roommate share a connected bathroom with two people in a room next to you.
Our newest all female residence is Jackson Hall. Jackson's residents will typically be housed in a two room suite. These two rooms will share a common living area. Each individual room contains its own bathroom. Four kitchens are available in this hall for the students' use.
Our new male hall opened in August 2014! Becker's residents will be housed two to a room and each room will have its own bathroom. Three kitchens will be available for the students' use.
Students find that the advantages of lower cost and easy access to a variety of campus activities and resident programs are a valuable educational experience at DCCC.
Campus-wide security, as well as security in the residence halls, is vitally important on all college campuses. DCCC Security, with offices in Shelden Hall, is staffed by two full-time officers and part-time officers. Officers are on duty every day and night and conduct numerous safety and security programs throughout the year.

Future Fuels at Carolina: much more than hydrogen
Carolina's seven major academic initiatives will be celebrated during the week of each home football game this season. The fourth -- in the week leading up to the Carolina vs. Kentucky game Oct. 10 -- is the University's research efforts in alternative fuels.
When University mascot Cocky zips around the football field this Saturday on a Segway, he can thank Carolina researchers for the hydrogen fuel cell that helps to power the two-wheeled scooter.
The University's leadership in hydrogen fuel cell research is well established:
• Carolina is home to the nation's only industry/university cooperative fuel cell research center, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and industry partners.
• The University has been awarded several Centers of Economic Excellence to fund additional hydrogen fuel cell-related research
• The National Hydrogen Association selected Columbia as its national conference site earlier this year in large part because of Carolina's research and partnerships with industry and government in developing hydrogen as a commercial energy carrier.
But Carolina's research in alternative energy goes well beyond fuel cells. America's energy challenges are complex, and solutions will be equally complex.
That's why scientists at Carolina are focusing their research efforts on several future fuels: hydrogen, PEM, and solid-oxide fuel cells; next-generation battery development; nuclear energy; photovoltaic cells; sustainable carbon usage; biomass; and energy conservation and efficiency. All of these are interconnected and could be part of an overall solution to provide plentiful energy without contributing further to the factors influencing climate change.
In addition to conducting research on plant species suitable for biomass energy production, the University has built, with Johnson Controls, a biomass energy plant. The generating plant uses a next-generation gasification process that superheats wood waste to release gas that is ignited to produce steam and electricity. The Columbia campus anticipates annual energy cost savings of about $2 million.
Innovative energy research is crucial not only to America's sustainable economic development and well being but also to the ecological future of the planet. Scientists at Carolina aim to be at the forefront in that important work.
As part of Future Fuels-related events this week:
• Cocky will ride a hydrogen fuel cell-equipped Segway at halftime during the Carolina vs. Kentucky football game Oct. 10 at Williams-Brice Stadium
• a hydrogen-powered bus -- part of the Federal Transit Administration's Fuel Cell Bus Program -- will be parked near the stadium on game day. The 37-passenger bus is five tons lighter than a regular bus and is powered by two 16 kW fuel cells.

Children's National has some of the world's foremost experts in care for children with complex neurodevelopmental disorders affecting the brain and central nervous system. Because we care exclusively for children, our specialists also understand how these conditions influence cognitive and neurological development in a child or teen that is still growing.
Neurodevelopmental conditions and traumatic brain injuries can affect how a child thinks, learns and behaves, and a treatment plan involves a multidisciplinary approach. Our care team includes specialists from various fields who work with you to develop a unique care plan for your child. We also consult with our colleagues in other divisions at Children's National, and professionals and clinicians throughout the nation. Conditions we care for include:
The neuropsychology team can diagnose and treat children and teens with a known or suspected dysfunction of the brain. Each year, more than 1,000 children and teens are evaluated by our experts in the Neuropsychology Outpatient Evaluation Program.
Division Chief Gerard Gioia, PhD, is a world-renowned expert in traumatic brain injuries, and his research has influenced the way mild traumatic brain injuries in children are treated.
An example of how our work is impacting care, Dr. Gioia helped launch the SCORE Program to help parents, coaches, and the medical community, recognize a potential concussion and know what to do when a concussion is suspected. It is one of the only programs in the greater Washington, DC, area that specializes in the evaluation and management of concussions in children and teens.
We also are helping to improve quality of life for young patients with an autism spectrum disorder. Patients and their families have access to additional resources and support through the division's Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (CASD).
