Step 4: Writing Your Comic.
Now that you've got your characters fleshed out, it's time to actually start writing the comic. Many different artists have different approaches to writing their strips, and perhaps one technique that works for you may not work for somebody else. Let's take a look at two of the most popular gaming Internet comic strips and contrast how their authors approach writing:
"Penny Arcade" - Gabe and Tycho think of something humorous in the gaming industry and proceed to write something which pokes fun at it.
"User Friendly" - After putting on a blindfold and drinking heavily, Illiad begins to receive the alien psychic gamma rays being broadcast into his head, which he promptly begins to fill in the little word balloons with. Scientists believe that these mind control signals are actually just composed of one message looped infinitely, which explains why Illiad has essentially been writing the same joke over and over ever since he first started the comic. Fortunately, most of his readers don't notice this because they're too busy using Linux or destroying copies of Windows whatever the hell they spend all day doing.
You'll want to keep your comic topical and modern, dealing with issues and situations that are somewhat current. People like reading things which they can relate to, so be sure to throw in a bunch of pop culture references to remind them that your comic is indeed very trendy and up to date. Here's a quick example:
GOOD: Very modern and topical.
BAD: Too many 1920's references.
Another rule of thumb is to make extensive use of the "Comic Sans MS" font. All text should be in this type, as it lets people know that they're reading a comic. If you try something crazy like using a different font, you run the risk of confusing your readers and causing them to think perhaps they're reading a dinner menu or The Bible (neither of which use the Comic Sans MS font).

[To set reminder and check TV schedule of Diya Aur Baati Hum click here...]
In our last article about this show, we mentioned about the current challenge for Sandhya (Deepika Singh) to prove her assertion against Swamiji (Surendra Pal).
As last seen, the furious Swamiji conspires against the Rathi family and accuses them of theft. The entire family is distraught and horrified to the gut. The family is busy mourning over the accusations and their fate once the 12 hours deadline is over. True to her abilities, it's only Sandhya who, instead of mourning, puts on her thinking cap. Very well knowing the fact that the entire family is up against her in arms, she adeptly involves the family in searching for jewellery hidden in their house.
We have information that an interesting sequence of events is lined up once Sandhya and Sooraj (Anas Rashid) find the jewellery. They will hatch a proper plan to prove their innocence to which only Chhotu and Chaturi will be privy to.
For this Sooraj, who is always seen as a calm and non-violent man, will don the role of a Sadhu who can predict future. We may even get to see him beating up the Swamiji in total bollywood style. Wow!!!! One thing is for sure, that from now on, I'm hooked up on this show to see Sooraj in a new, refreshingly male avatar. A little aggression is good at times. Right?
They will use the same technique as used by Swamiji. They will hide the jewellery in a ground with some chickpea (chana) underneath. Scientifically, chickpea pushes things kept above it in wet soil. Thus it will push the jewellery outside the soil and it will then be related to mysterious emergence of God's idol. They will also narrate a fake story similar to Swamiji's dream about the God's idol just to expose his reality.
It's such a relief to witness the so called genre of daily soaps creating social awareness and getting logical these days. Undoubtedly a standing ovation to Star Plus and the production team of Diya Aur Baati Hum for fearless representation of such sensitive issue and even bigger round of applause for tackling the same so sensibly and scientifically
In the similar pattern she will continue revealing Swamiji's tricks to get his reality in foray. I'm curious how Bhabo (Neelu Vaghela) will react to this. Will she finally accept that Sandhya is truly an IPS material with a heart equally passionate for her family and her country OR to test her further will just add up another matka (symbol for leverage of 4thmistake) for having saved her family from yet another disgrace? Amusing that Bhabo had challenged Sandhya to prove her allegations against Swamiji and now her family is running from pillar to post to prove their innocence. I guess that is what is known as "Jaise Ko Tessa" (I thought it's opportune for me to be a little religious as well).
Well it will be interesting to watch how finally the duo – Sandhya-Sooraj succeed in revealing Swamiji's real identity? So keep watching to find out what happens next in Diya Aur Baati Hum.

Sadie M.wrote a review of Mountain Hardwear Scrambler TRL 30 Backpack - 1810cu in on September 23, 2012
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I searched a long time for a backpack that would fit all of my needs: I use it for textbooks, running clothes, and lunch when I am at school, as a crag/alpine pack, and can load up a few days worth of groceries in it, too! This pack is great for bike commuting. Finally found a pack that does it all.

OverviewThe summit of Goat Mountain via Wildhorse Basin can be reached with less than half the miles required on the standard route, but beware, Wildhorse Basin is Idaho on PCP. Most of the big peaks riding on the basin's enormous cirque are guarded by a long and rarely broken system of crumbling cliff bands that, for the intrepid climber, requires some steep scrambling, route finding and a little luck. Once on the crest, the climbing usually gentles up considerably. Making it to the crest from Little Wildhorse lake requires a little bit more. This route is dangerous and not recommended. Most of it would be easily protected with rope and some gear but the exit is a veritable toilet bowl that regularly flushes loose rock and dirt, all but invisible to the unsuspecting below.
Getting ThereFrom Mackay: Take US Highway 93 16 miles north of Mackay to the Trail Creek Road. Turn left on the Trail Creek Road. Follow this road 18 miles to the Copper Basin Road. Turn left on the Copper Basin Road. Follow this road 2 miles to the Wildhorse Creek Road. Stay to the right on the Wildhorse Creek Road. Follow the Wildhorse Creek Road 5.5 miles to the campground. The road continues for another 3 miles up the canyon but you'll need a high clearance 4X4 vehicle to negotiate the numerous Idaho obstacles. The road forks near the end, stay on the right fork till it ends at the trailhead.
From Sun Valley/Ketchum: Take Highway 75 (main street) to Sun Valley Road. Turn northeast onto the Sun Valley Road. This road turns into Trail Creek Road. Follow this road to the Copper Basin road. Turn right on the Copper Basin Road. Follow this road 2 miles to the Wildhorse Creek Road. Stay to the right on the Wildhorse Creek Road. Follow the Wildhorse Creek Road 5.5 miles to the campground.
Hike approximately 1.3 miles up the trail toward Howard Peak and then cut right on a very faint forest service trail. It's been several years since the trail was maintained, keep an eye out for blazes and small rock cairns. Follow the trail until it peters out in a large meadow with 3 small lakes. Climb above the tree line toward the long water slide that spills out of Little Wildhorse lake.
Route Description
From the lake, ascend easy class two slopes shown in the photo. Hike up the the obvious open throat below the lowest point on the crest between Goat and Florians. Kick steps up the small 40 degree snow field to the base of the cliff. Follow the two inch crack until it ends, cross right onto the small arête and continue till it ends. Then cross back to the left and follow small holds that end below a large dirty shelf with a big loose looking block on the right side of the throat, squeeze between the block and shelf above it to easy ground and then onto the crest. From there, follow the standard route to the south and then true, north summit.

Is Fashion A Blessing Or A Curse? – MENFASH
Is fashion a blessing or a curse?
Indeed fashion is a blessing for the ones who're sensible enough- who know about what to wear as accordingly how they're! Yet, a fashion can actually turn into a nightmare too if you opt the nonsense attires and unfitted clothing-lines or other additional accessories. The word "fashion" does contain an ocean of reasoning and styling. "Styling and reasoning" combine to result the word "blessed fashion". Therefore, if there's no "reasoning" in your put-ons then definitely there exists missing-links in your criteria which can create misconceptions and make your fashion look as if it's a curse on you.
The question is that is fashion a blessing or a curse? I might want to prove that why fashion can be referred as a Blessing.
Is fashion a blessing or a curse? – MENFASH:
- It conceals your blemishes:
The foremost benefit of being in fashion is, it conceals your blemishes. It hides the spots that lower down your standards. It highlights the positive aspects of your appearance and make you look on your style games. Fashion is undoubtedly a blessing, if it's being practiced with sensibility.
- It links the missing-links:
The missing-links in your looks, fashion will join or link them together! i.e. the slimness of your structure will be covered if you'd wear on the loose magnificent shirts. Correspondingly, if your face is oval and in bigger size, you can have short hairstyles to compensate the lacking.
- It rises your standards:
Fashion will always rise your standards and never to lower them down. You're always going to appear in the better ways and styles! It will exhibit the beauty that you have been holding, inside. Fashion can enhance your levels to the newest exceptional ones.
- It makes you to have faith in yourself:
You start to have faith in yourself. You commence to believe on what you're and give it the value that you had not been giving to it, in the past. You forget what they say to you, and try to stay dashing and exceptional because now you know that you're. Fashion does well to you externally and it does well to you internally! – I promise.
- It provides quality:
It provides quality to you and you start to admire yourself! The quality that you were missing is now being enhanced in the best way possible. As you step onto the streets with every new fashion every day. It reflects the quality! And makes you look excited and attractively impressive.
- It vanishes the complex:
As you get to admire your conditions, you start to focus upon the positive points of your personality. It vanishes the complex that had been killing you in the past, internally. You felt lost and you wanted to fit in. You wanted them to admire your appearance but they didn't, maybe because you actually didn't know what to wear and how to wear. Now! You have known it, and they're definitely looking back onto your exceptional style as you're crossing through the streets.
– Fashion reflects beauty and no wonder, it's a blessing of which one should always be thankful of. Yet, it could even lessen your standards if you're not acknowledged about how you should apply it on. Hence, be intelligent and try to apply fashion accordingly with the seasons.
– One of the major request, I'd like to make is don't follow the men icons- blindly! As it can actually turn your criteria down, and make your fashion highlight as if it's a curse upon you.
– Stay blessed! Go for the right fashions, Please!

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets head into the final day of the NFL draft with nine picks and plenty of options.
They filled a few needs during the first two days, taking safety Calvin Pryor in the first round Thursday, tight end Jace Amaro in the second round Friday and cornerback Dexter McDougle in the third. General manager John Idzik said late Friday night that having nine picks in the last four rounds Saturday is nice because it gives the team some maneuverability.
Their first selection — barring a trade — comes with the fourth pick in the fourth round. They have another pick 11 spots later.
New York could try to add a wide receiver, outside linebacker, another cornerback, offensive line depth and perhaps a quarterback in the later rounds.

The total number of approved lower-power FM applications inches towards 2000, with a total of 1190 issued to date. We're still waiting for the FCC to address most of the MX groups of applicants competing for frequencies, especially in the nation's largest urban markets.
One new construction permit issued this week goes to the Hancock County Amateur Radio Association on Mississippi's Gulf Coast, which already operates WQRZ-LP "Katrina Radio" in Bay St. Louis. However, unlike most low-power stations, this is "public safety radio service," intended to keep the public informed during times of emergency. The new station is destined for Diamond Head, MS.
As the "Katrina Radio" moniker suggests, WQRZ played an important role when Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. It was one of just four radio stations to survive the hurricane, broadcasting vital emergency communications to the region west of New Orleans.
Based upon WQRZ's admirable record, the Hancock County Emergency Management Agency advocated on behalf of the new application, telling the FCC that it "fully supports and welcomes" the station, in order to increase "the Service Area Coverage for the Safety of Life, Health and Property [sic]."


text: Sustainable grass - systems and warranty concepts At the end of 2009 TenCate Grass presented to other companies in the sector a concept for the fourth generation of synthetic turf: Concept G4™ (picture). The aim of this conceptual system development is to achieve the best possible combination and integration of functionalities of the various components. There are a number of system components that are not or not yet made by TenCate. The synthetic turf system can be installed more quickly and simply by integrating the technical layers and stability layers into it. As market leader, TenCate aims to achieve constant improvement of these quality aspects that determine the lifespan of sports fields. This is only possible by cooperating in the chain as effectively as possible. By developing a complete synthetic turf system and (with strategic partners) launching it on the market, TenCate will ultimately have a greater influence on the end product. TenCate is entering into partnerships and strategic alliances with major suppliers of synthetic turf systems and it also has interests in synthetic turf companies that market the systems. The company thus contributes to enhanced awareness of quality among end-users and quality assurance among companies in the value chain. These alliances and partnerships will be further integrated into its global commercial strategy. In October 2009, FC Breukelen (NL) received the FIFA 2 Star performance warranty Thanks to its system approach, TenCate is the first company in the international synthetic turf industry to offer a warranty on the technical characteristics (quality guarantee) and lifespan (sustainability guarantee) of synthetic turf fields made with TenCate components. One of the warranty concepts is aimed at fields for league football. The other relates to extreme-use fields, such as football fields for youngsters and school sports fields. FIFA 2-Star is the performance level that football federation FIFA has defined for league football at the highest level. Synthetic turf fibres with the TenCate XQ™ Technology enable fields to be built that will long continue to meet FIFA 2-Star requirements. In cooperation with the insurance company Allianz and under certain quality conditions, TenCate offers a five-year FIFA 2-Star performance warranty: the TenCate Performance Warranty Concept™. TenCate Tapeslide XP™ For high-use fields TenCate Grass last year introduced a five-year sustainability guarantee on fields made with TenCate Tapeslide XP™ fibres. This guarantee too will be offered through selected commercial partners. 'This warranty programme is an expression of TenCate's confidence in the sustainability of our TenCate Tapeslide ™ XP products', said Guido Vliegen (Commercial Director, TenCate Grass). TenCate provides technical specifications and conducts performance tests. A specification for a field with improved sustainability includes not only the right synthetic turf fibre but also critical information about its installation and the maintenance of the synthetic turf system. Everything is geared to ensuring that the system meets all expectations. Moreover, for specific applications TenCate provides guidelines on the use and maintenance of the right synthetic turf products. The football field in Kristiansand (Norway) was installed with TenCate Tapeslide™ XP fibres. It is used for more than 3,000 hours a year

Micheli, Patterson and Winter all Winners at SDS
By Troy Hennig, SDS Media Relations
Photo by Steven Cox [sprintcarphotos.com]
CHICO, CA (4-27-12) - It was a great night of racing at Silver Dollar Speedway tonight. Live Oak's Matt Micheli earned his first win of 2012 at the speedway by winning the 20 lap limited late model main event. Joining Micheli on the front straight in victory lane after the races were Chico's Bill Patterson and Ryan Winter.
Randy McDaniel led the first main event laps of the limited late models. McDaniel, fresh off his win last week, was back in a familiar place up front and leading. However, this weekend was different. Matt Micheli was ready to battle McDaniel and eventually took the lead on lap three. It was all Micheli from here on out. McDaniel did close in on a few separate times but was never able to close in and challenge Micheli for the win. Micheli kept a smooth, solid racing line that eventually got him the win. "I had fun here tonight even the track was a little rough," said Micheli. Charlie Marrs drove a good race to finish third. Brad Magenheimer rounded out the top four.
The street stock main event was unusually longer tonight because of numerous cautions and even a red flag due to an engine fire on Brian Powell's car. Yet, when the green flag laps were recorded, the action was hot and heavy on the track.
Chico's Mike Slightom led the first two laps of the street stock main event. On lap three Shawn Smith became the new leader. Smith would go on to lead the next eight laps until he was passed by Richard Workman. Patterson kept getting closer to the front. On lap 13 he passed Workmen for the lead. Patterson then rocketed out front and cruised to the popular win. "This Gateminder team is awesome," said Patterson in victory lane. He was joined by his family and friends. Smith came back to finish in the second spot. Fritz Zanker was the hard charger. He started 10th and finished third. Slightom hung around to finish in the fourth spot.
Ryan Winter dominated the Dwarf Car main event. Winter led all 20-laps to secure the popular win. Brian Quilty held the second spot down for the entire race. Quilty did hold off challengers like Shawn Jones, who had a mechanical failure and did not finish, and Scott Dahlgren along with Jeremy Blackshere. Doug Martin rounded out the top five in the main event.Full results are available at www.silverdollarspeedway.com or at mylaps.com

DAX (a 4-hour chart)
DAX traded mixed on Tuesday. Investors expect new clues over the Fed rate hike and OPEC deal to cut production.
Current situation
DAX gapped downwards on Tuesday, but failed to move lower. The price pierced the level 10600, turned around and grew above the level. DAX extended its gains up to 10700 where the bullish spike faded and prices slightly moved back. The 200-EMA is neutral in the 4 hours chart, while the 50 and 100 EMAs are moving lower. The resistance is seen at 10600, the support is at 10500.
MACD grew which indicates the buyers' positions strengthening. The RSI traded within positive territory.
Trading recommendations
In the scenario where buyers keep control the price is expected to rise towards 10700. Alternatively, a break below 10600 will lead the price towards 10500.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry believes the FBI was attempting to murder him during a sting operation in January 1990 when he was caught using crack cocaine.
Barry and his then-girlfriend Rasheeda Moore were videotaped in a hotel room smoking the drug that she received from an undercover police officer who was operating with the FBI. It was at that time that he uttered his infamous statement: "The b---- set me up."
In an interview with the U.S. News and World Report this week, he hinted that the FBI had laced his cocaine with another substance that could have killed him.
"The FBI had a mind to entrap me, also the FBI tried to kill me by having some substance that wasn't proven to be crack," Barry told the magazine.
Reports U.S. News:
"They had an EMT on the spot, which is not only unusual but rare in history of the FBI," Barry noted as he offered evidence to support his claim that the FBI attempted to kill him. "Why would they have an EMT on the scene if they weren't trying?"
"When we went to the lab they couldn't say what it was," he added.
Bill Baker, who oversaw the sting operation as the assistant FBI director in charge of the Criminal Investigative Division, told U.S. News that he found Barry's accusation "absurd and disappointing."
Baker said that he personally approved the use of EMTs for the operation.

Storm pushes defending champs to OT but falls
There was a feeling late in the Section 6A semifinals on Tuesday that maybe this could be the Morris Benson Area Storm girls hockey team's night and its year.
The Storm hit the wall in the same game last year, falling to Fergus Falls in the section semifinals, and it appeared the team would do anything but fall apart after recovering from a third-period swoon with a quick power play goal by Sam Falk late in the game that forced the defending Class A state champions from Alexandria into overtime.
But almost as quickly, the Storm's season was over.
The Cardinals' Michelle Anez scored the game's first goal and she also notched its last, 49 seconds into the extra period, for a 5-4 win over the Storm at the Runestone Community Center.
Alexandria, which essentially started over with a young team this year, improved to 12-14 overall. The Cardinals will play Fergus Falls on Friday for the Section 6A championship. A win would give Alexandria its sixth straight section title.
The Storm had a 12-game winning streak snapped and finished 19-5.
Anez scored the game's first goal in the first period and the Cardinals led 1-0 after one period.
The Storm were literally that in the second period, getting three straight goals from Falk, Katia Vantries and an unassisted goal from Dani Staples that staked MBA to a 3-1 lead after two.
But the Cardinals returned the favor, scoring three straight goals in the third period. Alia Kopischke's goal at 11:47 of the third put Alexandria ahead 4-3.
But the Storm didn't cave. Working the puck in the Cardinals' end, the Storm's Sara Rajewsky drew a penalty for checking on Anez, and Falk capitalized just four seconds into the power play, beating Alex goalie Stephanie Drown to tie the game 4-4.
But Anez needed little time to score her 31st goal of the season and win the game. Teammate Allyson Nielson worked the boards behind the Storm net and tried to beat Storm goalie Brooke Falk on a wrap-around shot. Falk made the save but Anez poked the puck past her just 49 seconds into OT.
Section 6A

The Good, The Bad and the Very Very Rosorialously Ugly!
The Good! *New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez ®* Martinez - a Republican - said on Monday night that she would be willing to sign proposed gun control legislation that is aimed at closing the so-called "gun-show loophole" in New Mexico. Martinez told a local blogsite that, quote, "I think I could support it if it stays the way it is, that has, number one, keeping the guns out of the hands of people who don't have any business having guns." A bill to close the gun show loophole has already passed through a committee in the New Mexico state house - and will be taken up by the full state house tomorrow. Kudos to Gov. Martinez - for standing up to her party - and for putting the lives of Americans ahead of gun lobby interests.

I don't have a set period and persona of my own, but generally like a
variety of early period styles. The reason I asked on the list is that I
have NO idea when, where, or IF hoods were ever embroidered and decorated
in SCA period, and I was hoping someone already knew of an example from
somewhere/some when they could point me to.
I am guessing from the resounding silence on that point that no one else
actually knows of period examples of embroidered hoods, either. Therefore,
now that I have a moment and some internet access I thought I would share
what I little found, since I can't be the only person to ever wonder "did
they embroider on their hoods?".
The first thing I found was these two:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/racaire/3573960967/ and
http://www.flickr.com/photos/racaire/3574767882/ which is the art which
inspired Racaire when she made her hood:
http://embroidery.racaire.at/?p=3401 I don't know where she found those
sources, but to my eye they look like late middle ages.
There is a good summary of hoods on line here:
I don't recall reading about any embroidery on any of the Herjolfsnes
hoods, just that there were a variety of different patterns.
Sadly, I am out of time for on-line research just now, so will have to
return to this another day to find anything else...

Special Coverage
Greater L.A. Auto Show
LOS ANGELES – Volkswagen of America Inc. reiterates its status as the clean-diesel advocate with the unveiling of several new vehicles at the Los Angeles auto show here.
While a street-legal, sport-tuned variant of the Jetta TDI Cup racecar and the '09 Touareg V-6 TDI cross/utility vehicle, which goes on sale early next year for about $43,000 (about $2,500 more than the gasoline V-6 version) highlight the newest practical applications for diesel engines, the auto maker's purpose-built Red Bull Race Touareg TDI Trophy Truck steals the show and epitomizes diesel power.
Blessed with a 550-hp 5.5L V-12 turodiesel, lightweight body and custom-made tube chassis capable of traversing off-road trails at speeds upwards of 130 mph (209 km/h), the race truck will attempt to finish – and win overall – the grueling Baja 1000 desert race this weekend in Ensenada, Mexico.
Like the Jetta TDI Cup race series that launched earlier this year and is gearing up for a more-extensive 2009 season, the Baja effort represents the next challenge as the auto maker extends its diesel presence into additional motorsports venues, says Norbert Krause, VWA director-engineering and environmental office.
In addition, the torturous off-road race down the Baja peninsula helps with the development of production vehicles, he says, such as component-durability testing, suspension refinement and the examination of new engineering concepts.
Meanwhile, the auto maker "is not backing down one inch with plans to grow business in the U.S.," says VWA President and CEO Stefan Jacoby, citing VW's efforts to build a new assembly plant in Chattanooga, TN, and its launch of five new vehicles in 2008, including the Jetta TDI, Tiguan CUV and Passat CC sedan.
Despite the severely depressed new-vehicle market, VW's sales mostly have been flat in the U.S., he says.
Contributing to that respectable performance is the new Jetta TDI sedan and Sportwagen, more than 8,000 of which already have been delivered to customers, says Wolfgang Hatz, VW Group head of product development. The auto maker is continuing to develop its Tiguan and Touran HyMotion fuel-cell-vehicle concepts as its eyes a future in zero-emissions transportation, he adds.
Similarly, Audi of America Inc. is upbeat on the prospects of clean diesels as it prepares for next year's launch of the Q7 V-6 TDI CUV, which recently achieved a fuel-economy average of 33 mpg (7.1 L/100 km) during the auto maker's coast-to-coast, 4,800-mile (7,725-km) TDI Mileage Marathon to promote the powertrain technology, says Executive Vice President Johan de Nysschen.
"Diesel is the engine of independence for America," he says of clean diesel's immediate ability to reduce foreign oil imports and help lower vehicle emissions.
"I believe 2009 will be the breakthrough year for TDI in the U.S., with the Q7 proving that size and efficiency are not a contradiction," adds Audi AG management-board member Peter Schwarzenbauer, noting the auto maker remains on track to reach its record sales goal of delivering 1 million vehicles globally in 2008.

Cerebro is a system that uses an EEG to measure electromagnetic activity from the surface of the brain and provide a visual display based on that activity. The 8051 microprocessor essentially reads data from an EEG device and, though visualization algorithms, computes a display for a custom-designed LED panel. Hardware communication was done through UART peripheral chips. Additionally, the visualization algorithms are customizable through analog slider board interface. The software was designed to be extremely modular. The main program calls upon libraries to perform tasks such as grabbing and interpreting data packets from the EEG, reading equalizer slider values, and creating and sending packets of data out to the lighting system.
Cerebro was my final project for 6.115, a microcontroller class and one of MIT's most hands-on courses. I'm a big fan of classes that let you do whatever you want for a final project; it's really amazing to see the creativity that students have in designing fantastic projects. I plan to reimplement it with a AVR.
I've uploaded my report, schematics, and code here.

Obama still believes in bipartisanship, Plouffe says
President Barack Obama's more combative tone in recent weeks doesn't mean he's given up on working with Republicans, senior adviser David Plouffe said Sunday.
"We think bipartisan[ship] is eminently possible," Plouffe said on CNN's "State of the Union."
The challenge, he said, is that some congressional Republicans are opposed to any action.
"The barrier to progress here in many respects, whether it's deficits, measures to help the economy, immigration, gun safety legislation, there's huge support amongst all independents, Democrats and Republicans throughout the country," he said. "The barrier is there's factions here in Congress, Republicans in Congress who are out of the mainstream. So we need to bring the American people into these debates."
On the debt ceiling and on gun issues, Obama has chosen to speak in stark terms in hopes of "trying to enlist the American people in these debates," Plouffe said. "The only way change is going to happen, we make progress, is the American people. It's one of the lessons of the first term. They need to be involved at the center of this and pushing here."

Kent Haruf has received prestigious awards, including a special citation from the PEN/Hemingway Foundation for his finely-tuned works. Before the opening chapter of this novel, Haruf offers a definition. Plainsong is "any simple and unadorned melody or air." Direct yet elegant, Haruf's Plainsong is a hymn to the breadth of the human spirit.
A high school history teacher in a small Colorado town, Guthrie is raising his two young sons alone. Thoughtful and honest, he is guiding them through a world that is not always kind. Victoria, one of his students, is pregnant, homeless, and vulnerable to the scorn of the town. When Guthrie helps two elderly ranchers take the young woman into their home, an unlikely extended family is born. As the chapters of these people's lives alternate throughout Plainsong, loneliness and need are transformed into nourishing bonds. Narrator Tom Stechschulte captures the subtle changes that bring the men, women, and children together. His performance highlights every shading of this superb New York Times best-seller.

"Grim Living In A Small Town"
When I think of this book words like bleak, abusive, depressing, harsh, and grim all come painfully to mind. I wanted so much to love this story--but it was absolutely not for me. Further, the rough narration only added to the misery of this listening experience. I am giving up on this darkly plodding and bitter book. Life is simply too short. Can't recommend.
"A taste of Real Life"
This is a story I can relate to - the characters are as real as life itself. Narrator does an excellent job
Can't compare Plainsong to any other author - it is unique
Tom's delivery provides flavor - his ability to create characters with different voice inflections is very valuable
Just an excellent work - the kind of story that you can connect with. Finishing this story made me crave for more.
"Comfort food for the brain"
N/A. I have not read the book.
I liked them all. The McPheran brothers, though were especially entertaining.
He is a good reader who captures the manner of speech in that part of Colorado well. I am a Co. Native who has been to Yuma (Holt) many times.
It wouldn't work well as a movie.
After a steady diet of spicy food, (thrillers and action novels) I needed some comfort food. This hit the spot.
"A Bleak Book About Small Town Life"
This book is very well written and the narration is great but the story was too bleak for my taste. It may be realistic in its depiction of small town life with ordinary people trying to cope with eccentrics and bullies but overall it has a hopeless feel to it. Certainly a lot of 20th Century literary legends like Faulkner wrote similar stories. It was recommended to me by a friend who loved it. I did not love it and felt more like I was enduring it. Basically this falls in the category of the kind of literary realism you'll like if you like that kind of thing.
"A beautiful read"
One of those books that when you reach the end, you just wish it wasn't so.
"Unremarkable small town, Remarkable story"
Although Plainsong is set in an unremarkable small town in Colorado, it is itself a remarkable story. The variety of characters and the situations they face are all written by Haruf with plain, simple, understated, and unflinching language; it is his writing that makes this story so quietly evocative and compelling. Tom Stechshulte's narration is perfect.
Holt, Colorado is populated by many characters, high school teacher Tom Guthrie, his depressed and fading-away wife Ella, their young sons Ike and Bobby, pregnant teenager Victoria Roubideaux, her abusive boyfriend Dwayne, bachelor brothers and ranchers Raymond and Harold McPheron, and teacher Maggie Jones, whose stories are told in alternating and overlapping chapters. There is loss of innocence, sex, violence, and death, but there is also kindness, decency, community, and family.
Plainsong is an honest and eloquently-told story that will be with me for a long time.
"This is a good one."
T.S is, as always, a great reader- Sometimes I choose a book just because he's reading. He has yet to read a bad one.
The book builds slowly and evenly a great story with some wonderful characters. Some of the characters are from a time that is past and missed today.
"This story ❤"
I never re-read books, but this one...
In the next few minutes I will finish it for the second time. However, I'm not in any way prepared to say goodbye to the McPheran brothers or Victoria. And so, I've got Eventide, the follow up story waiting on deck, although, much to my frustration and disappointment, Tom Stechschulte isn't the narrator.
I've grown to love the gruff McPheran voices and smile from my heart whenever they speak. Why oh why did audible not extend Stechschulte's contract? He is sooo integral to the story.
Ok, disappointment aside, this book is a glorious "slice of life" tale that moves slowly, and burrows deeply into your heart and soul. Unforgettable.
"Interesting -"
I finished this book the weekend the author died. My sympathies to the family. It the author lived his life as thoughtful as his writing he was a wonderful being I am sure.
The characters and the proses are beautifully crafted, I loved the writing. But if you listen, expect a very subtle overlay of simple stories that unfold slowly. There is no big dramatic moment, anywhere; rather it is beautiful writing about people you could know, trying to figure out their lives that occasionally intersect.
There might be a beautiful story here to be told but for me profanity, crude language and graphic sex scenes ruin it. I quickly learned that this book was not my forte.

This months's special guest is Amber Brown from Planned Parenthood. Sexual discussion, and information about testing on campus and in the community will be shared. The show will be filmed live at Penn State Berks at 6 p.m. Monday, March 25, in the Perkins Student Center Multipurpose Room.
"Get Some" is a show about health with a human sexuality emphasis. Alice Holland, Penn State Berks Nurse Practitioner Supervisor serves as host. The show includes an interactive audience that features both college students and professionals as guests. This episode will feature representation from Planned Parenthood.
"The culmination of my past employment experiences at Blue Mountain Health System Family Planning Clinic, Lehighton Area School District, and Lehigh Valley Hospital, along with my present employment at Penn State, has prepared me with the assessment, interpersonal and communication skills needed to host the show," explained Holland about her credentials.
In addition to her position as Health Services Supervisor at Penn State Berks, Holland also teaches courses in human sexuality, two of which have culminated with an experiential approach in Kenya. She is certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) as a sexuality educator and holds master's degrees in both nursing and human sexuality. She is presently a doctoral candidate in human sexuality, as well as a member of the American College Health Association (ACHA) and American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).
"Get Some" is held on the last Monday of each month from 6 to 6:45 p.m. in the Perkins Student Center Multipurpose Room. First-Year Seminar credit is available to students who qualify. For more information, contact Alice Holland at email@example.com.

wikiHow to Stop Ruminating
Three Parts:Shifting Your FocusManaging WorriesDeveloping a Healthier AttitudeCommunity Q&A
You may not have heard of the concept of rumination, but, chances are, you've fallen prey to this habit. Rumination comes from a Latin term meaning "chewing the cud", which is what a cow does when it chews, swallows, regurgitates and chews its food again. In human terms, rumination can be described as obsessive thinking. Something bad happens and you run the whole situation through your mind over and over and over again. This form of thinking can ultimately lead to depression, so overcoming it is an important step for improving your mental health.[1]
Part 1
EditShifting Your Focus
1Search for the lesson. Even negative events that happen in your life are learning opportunities. Humans learn from trial and error, which isn't possible without some negative events to help to push us to be creative and innovative. Focus on the chance to grow and learn from each experience.[2]
- Learn to separate yourself from things that happen to you. Instead of assuming bad things only happen to bad people, realize that bad things do happen every day and it is up to you how you react. You can look at the negative as just an experience that you can learn from. Don't take the event personally about who you are overall and move forward.
2Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen. Thinking about what's bothering you in this way can remove some of the power of your fears. The biggest part of the fear is running every scenario through your brain to the point of exhaustion. Taking a realistic approach can help. Figure out what is the worst possible outcome and then realize that, even if it were to occur, it is not the end of the world.
- This type of negative thinking can give you very real physical pain, may lead to trouble sleeping and other issues. It is important to find a way to work past the fear and live without these symptoms.[3]
3Remove the trigger. Sometimes, you might ruminate after encountering a certain stimulus. Look closely at your rumination behaviors and determine which triggers are causing them. Then, find ways to remove the stimulus.
- A good way to start to look at triggers is to keep a journal and write down each time you fall into this behavior. In the moment, record what thoughts or experiences started the process and this would be a trigger for you.[4]
- An example of a trigger could be a visit from your mother-in-law. If you share a rocky history, you may obsess over her next unannounced visit because you fear it will end badly.
4Find helpful replacements. Changing a bad habit is best achieved by locating another behavior—ideally, a healthier one—that could meet the same objective.
- For example, if you tend to worry a lot about emergencies, take some time to get yourself prepared so you know even in an emergency you are OK. Put your thoughts to good use and take it a step further by helping others prepare for these events as well. It is a great distraction from running the worst case scenario in your head over and over.
Part 2
EditManaging Worries
1Practice mindfulness. This means getting in touch with your thoughts, actions and reactions. This is also a process to that uses calming activities like yoga to move past stress and not focus on the negative.[5]
- Understanding that you have a tendency to overthink things is a huge step towards being mindful because you can attribute much of your stress to this habit and not to actual events. Awareness relating to the outcomes of the stress will also help in learning to not let the stress hurt you physically.
2Schedule a daily worry period. You may not be able to completely stop the obsessive thoughts but you can isolate them to a short part of your day.
- Set aside 30 minutes each day to sit down and write about what is worrying you. Remind yourself if these worries come up during the rest of your day that you will think about the stressor only during that worry period.[6]
3Get active. Physical activity can help you reduce stress and improve your mood. Exercise releases the feel-good chemicals in the brain called endorphins that you're your mood and improve your thought processes.[7]
- Taking a long brisk walk to get the blood flowing or sweating for an hour at the gym is a solid distraction and also a way to cleanse the body of toxins. Many people see sweating as a freeing process as well as it is also a natural high.
4Start a journal. Write about your fears and also about what really ends up happening so in the future you can compare the two. This will help to show you how much worse you make the problem by thinking the worst when it doesn't always happen.[8]
5See a therapist for particularly stubborn thoughts or memories. If your obsessive thoughts are interfering with daily life, it may be wise to seek help from a professional.[9]
- Treatments for rumination can include counseling, EMRD and behavior interventions. There are also prescription drugs one can take for obsessive thoughts.
Part 3
EditDeveloping a Healthier Attitude
1Share your burden with others. Trust a friend, especially someone who's survived similar situations. He or she may have a lot of good tips on how to handle it. Support groups of individuals with depression or rumination disorder are very good for gaining confidence and eliminating the shame or stigma associated with these conditions.[10]
2Overcome perfectionism. Having the mindset that everything you do must be done to an ideal standard will cause both mental exhaustion and anxiety. Changing a perfectionistic attitude starts with accepting that mistakes and flaws are inevitable.[11]
- Learn to spot perfectionism in yourself. Do you often have trouble meeting your own standards or only do so with immense time and effort? Do you frequently feel down in the process of trying to meet your own standards?
- You can adopt a more realistic perspective by reminding yourself with certain phrases like "Everybody makes mistakes!" or "I'm only human!" Try doing this when you make a mistake or fall short of your expectations. Over time, you will be less hard on yourself.
3Release your need to control everything. Change what you can and learn to accept what you can't. Practice new reactions to stressful situations and challenge yourself over time to end the obsessive thoughts.[12]
- Work with friends and family to explore ways you can let go of triggers you tend to want to control. Having support of loved ones can be nice and it also adds another level of accountability.
4Direct your attention towards the positives in your life. You learn from both the positives and negatives in life, but for someone who is obsessing you usually focus more on the negative.[13]
- Take time each day to write down three things that were really great or happy about your day. Take the time to share these "wins" with loved ones and make it a priority. You can also ask them to participate and start to have more positive conversations.
5Use behavioral interventions to redirect your negative thoughts. You may not even be fully aware of how often you have these thoughts until you take this step. These interventions are geared at helping you spot your old unhealthy thinking patterns and adopt a healthier, less obsessive mindset in their place.
- This can be as simple as wear a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it each time you catch yourself thinking about it when it is not time to do so. [14].

EditShort Summary
The best way to stop ruminating is to focus on the lesson to be learned, and to separate yourself from your triggers. Manage your worries by meditating, exercising, and setting aside "worry time." Develop a more positive attitude by letting go of control and perfectionism and confiding in others.
- If you can't find any ways in which a past trauma helped you, accept that and move on. Focus on ways you can take charge of your life now and choose the people you associate with, the things you do in order to make a living and take care of your basic needs, the place you live and what groups you belong to.
- Let go of the idea that bad things never happen to good people. It's a dangerous one that only serves to shame anyone who's had bad luck in life. When it's an accident or natural disaster it can strike anyone. When it's caused by another person's malice, you're not responsible - it was your bad luck to be in reach of that malicious person.
- If your thoughts start to intrude on your normal daily activities and/or stop you from sleeping at night, consult your doctor.
- If counseling and therapy don't help, start searching for a different counselor or therapist. Be aware that differences in religious views, ethics, culture and background between therapist and client can interfere with even a good therapist's ability to help.
