A quarter of us don't leave the office Christmas party alone. Blame the egg nog.
Come January 2nd, you better Windex the photocopier, Febreze the handicap bathroom stall, and Fantastik the hell out of the conference room, because after the office holiday party season, that stuff is going to be covered in errant bodily fluids. That's right: everybody is screwing their coworkers after one too many spiked egg nogs.
According to a national survey conducted by Trojan Condoms with Harris Interactive, a whopping 24 percent of Americans have hooked up with someone because of an office holiday party. Look around you. That means, statistically, one person out of the four surrounding cubicles is totally going to bone a coworker immediately following an accountant's boisterous rendition of, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." New Year's, Christmas, and office parties were the top three venues for finding yuletide cheer. And it's sort of curious that 42 percent of men and 27 percent of women ages 18-34 claim to have gotten it on at an office party – or shortly thereafter. Why are so few ladies feeling festive? The only explanation is that some serious stapler on stapler action is afoot.
74 percent reported that their own apartment after the party was the best spot to consummate the birth of Christ. Next was the conference room at 18 percent, the mail room (is that a real thing, still?) at 16 percent, while 10 percent Xeroxed the experience, and a brave 10 percent did it on the boss's desk. And even 6 percent of the misguided people wearing those ridiculously ugly Christmas sweaters with 3-D jingle bells attached reported getting lucky the weeks of Dec 9-30th.
Of course, since this survey was funded by Trojan, we need to talk about how many people wrap their gifts. A slightly terrifying 46 percent of respondents admitted they had not used a condom during their holiday workplace encounters. Making it perhaps just as easy to spread good cheer as a venereal disease. Hold out til next September for reports on infants non-immaculately conceived on office party open bars.

Issue: Strange Tales # 133
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Bob Powell
Publication Date: June 1965
Brief Summary:
Stan gives us the ole en media res opening in this one, with Torch and Thing going up against a revamped Puppet Master, who happens to look even more like Uncle Fester. Stan doesn't immediately reveal that its Puppet Master come to plague our heroes, but longtime readers will pick up on Stan's copious number of clues.
The duo handles the villain, but, interestingly, they don't even mention the skirmish when their lady friends show up late to the party. You would think Alicia would have a right to know what's happening given her relationship with the Puppet Master.
Meanwhile, Strange is traveling through dimensions and getting involved in a family conflict on an alien world. We also see another shot of Clea, although we learn nothing in regards to her identity.
Favorite Panel:
Apparently, spying across dimensions just comes down to eavesdropping.
Favorite Quote: "Ben Grimm can get in trouble just by breathing!" - Alicia Masters

Unit 2
Sine Vibration
Sine Amplitude Metrics
Does sinusoidal vibration ever occur in rocket vehicles?
Main Engine Cutoff (MECO)
Transient at ~120 Hz
MECO could be a high force input to spacecraft
The Pegasus launch vehicle oscillates as a free-free beam during the 5-second drop, prior to stage 1 ignition.
The fundamental bending frequency is 9 to 10 Hz, depending on the payload's mass & stiffness properties.
Pogo is the popular name for a dynamic phenomenon that sometimes occurs during the launch and ascent of space vehicles powered by liquid propellant rocket engines.
The phenomenon is due to a coupling between the first longitudinal resonance of the vehicle and the fuel flow to the rocket engines.
Astronaut Michael Collins wrote:
The first stage of the Titan II vibrated longitudinally, so that someone riding on it would be bounced up and down as if on a pogo stick. The vibration was at a relatively high frequency, about 11 cycles per second, with an amplitude of plus or minus 5 Gs in the worst case.
The flight accelerometer data was measured on a launch vehicle which shall remain anonymous. This was due to an oscillating thrust vector control (TVC) system during the burn-out of a solid rocket motor. This created a "tail wags dog" effect. The resulting vibration occurred throughout much of the vehicle. The oscillation frequency was 12.5 Hz with a harmonic at 37.5 Hz.
Sine Displacement Function
The displacement x(t) is
The acceleration a(t) is obtained by taking the derivative of the velocity.
x(t) = X sin (t)
v(t) = X cos (t)
a(t) = -2 X sin (t)
Peak Values Referenced to Peak Displacement
Peak Values Referenced to Peak Acceleration
for 10 G sine Excitation
Shaker table test specifications typically have a lower frequency limit of 10 to 20 Hz to control displacement.
What is the displacement corresponding to a 2.5 G, 25 Hz oscillation?
Sine vibration has the following relationships.
These equations do not apply to random vibration, however.
Summation of forces in the vertical direction
Let z = x - y. The variable z is thus the relative displacement.
Substituting the relative displacement yields
By convention,
Substituting the convention terms into equation,
This is a second-order, linear, non-homogenous, ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients.
could be a sine base acceleration or an arbitrary function
Solve for the relative displacement z using Laplace transforms.
Then, the absolute acceleration is
A unit impulse response function h(t) may be defined for this homogeneous case as
A convolution integral can be used for the case where the base input is arbitrary.
The convolution integral is numerically inefficient to solve in its equivalent digital-series form.
Instead, use…
Smallwood, ramp invariant, digital recursive filtering relationship!
Use Matlab script: vibrationdata.m
Miscellaneous Functions > Generate Signal > Begin Miscellaneous Analysis >
Select Signal > sine
Amplitude = 1 Duration = 5 sec
Frequency = 10 Hz
Phase = 0 deg
Sample Rate = 8000 Hz
Save Signal to Matlab Workspace > Output Array Name > sine_data > Save
sine_data will be used in next exercise. So keep vibrationdata opened.
Use Matlab script: vibrationdata.m
Must have sine_data available in Matlab workspace from previous exercise.
Select Analysis > Statistics > Begin Signal Analysis >
Input Array Name > sine_data > Calculate
Check Results.
RMS^2 = mean^2 + std dev^2
Kurtosis = 1.5 for pure sine vibration
Crest Factor = peak/ (std dev)
Histogram is a bathtub curve.Experiment with different number of histogram bars.
Use Matlab script: vibrationdata.m
Must have sine data available in Matlab workspace from previous exercise.
Apply sine as 1 G, 10 Hz base acceleration to SDOF system with (fn=10 Hz, Q=10). Calculate response.
Use Smallwood algorithm (although exact solution could be obtained via Laplace transforms).
Vibrationdata > Time History > Acceleration > Select Analysis > SDOF Response to Base Input
This example is resonant excitation because base excitation and natural frequencies are the same!
File channel.txt is an acceleration time history that was measured during a test of an aluminum channel beam. The beam was excited by an impulse hammer to measure the damping.
The damping was less than 1% so the signal has only a slight decay.
Use script: sinefind.m to find the two dominant natural frequencies.
Enter time limits: 9.5 to 9.6 seconds
Enter: 10000 trials, 2 frequencies
Select strategy: 2 for automatically estimate frequencies from FFT & zero-crossings
Results should be 583 & 691 Hz (rounded-off)
The difference is about 110 Hz. This is a beat frequency effect. It represents the low-frequency amplitude modulation in the measured time history.

What was the corresponding displacement?
Perform hand calculation.
Then check via:

A certain shaker table has a displacement limit of 2 inch peak-to-peak.
What is the maximum acceleration at 10 Hz?
Perform hand-calculation.
Then check with script:

A lot of bros can punt, but few can complete.
The average surfer's aerial-landing percentage is low. Taj Burrow, on the other hand, probably has about an 85-percent chance of perfectly landing any air he launches. Let's learn from the master—an air ain't an air if you don't land it. Flyaways are lame—land that shit!
Steps one and two:Get in the air. If you can't do this yet, don't worry about landing. Work on the basics, then start working your way up to launching airs.
Step three: Look at your landing. Take note of where Taj is looking. He's gauging the time he has before he touches down. He's also looking at what his landing is doing. In this case, the whitewash is subsiding, and he gets prepared for a soft and forgiving landing zone.
Hint: Your weight should be centered and as light as possible.
Step four: As the nose touches down, Taj shifts his weight onto his front foot, while keeping his front knee bent but strong to absorb the pressure.
Hint: Stay loose, and your chances of landing increase.
Steps five through eight:Here's where you have to let the wave do the work for you. Ride out the whitewash, and keep a grip on your board. You'll find yourself relying on your fins to pull you back around.
Hint: If you ride backward for too long, you will pearl. Apply pressure to your tail, and you'll spin around quicker.
Steps nine and ten:As you begin to face forward, pump your board slightly to stay up on the wave. If you let the whitewash pass you up, it's not a make.
Caption: Taj Burrow lands them and so should you.

August 17th, 2005, 02:57 PM #1Several GC questions
1. I'm not setting up entire stores, but picking my way through categories. I'm using a custom link and other custom choices. Is there any way to make these default settings?
2. Is there any way to duplicate a store? I want to do this so I can just go in and change the sub category and not have to start from scratch. When you're creating stores by drilling down subcategories, this gets mighty tedious.
3. Is there any way to get rid of the borders?
Also, it would be great to have at least 2-3 levels of folders. Thanks for a great job on this and all the support you give!Renée

I have been trying to etch metal with varying results over the years. I live in Alaska and it is very expensive to get the "real" stuff here because of shipping. I first read about copper etching here http://www.makersgallery.com/goss/etch.html but had a hard time at resists. Please read her page for the etching process, I have added a quote here, but she tells it so much better than I.
"This method of etching uses a prepared ferric chloride solution which also contains hydrochloric acid. This "etchant" is not a pure acid, but etches copper and copper alloys (like brass and bronze). It will not work on silver. It is available from electronics supply shops, such as Radio Shack or from chemical suppliers. It is generally used to clean or etch copper circuit boards. It can also be found at some printmakers' supply stores.
Advantages over Acid etching:
not a pure acid; does not require dilution; is not as dangerous or tricky to use
resists are readily available and easy to use:
permanent markers that are made for writing on plastic can be used as a resist, which allows for drawing and writing directly on the metal. Photocopies, liquid floor wax and packing tape can also be used as resist:
fast working, clean bite "
I found that using a pen did not hold up well and showed all of the lines as the pen passed over itself. I also have terrible handwriting and don't like my drawing skills much. So, about a month ago I have been diddling with trying to make my earcards nicer and all this stuff, I went to the stamp store and bought some stamps and etching powder. They did not help my earcard in any way, but my mind was thinking... So, after trial and error I have found a way to stamp and etch copper.
First, the copper must be sanded with a fine/medium grit paper. I actually use nail files from the beauty supply, regular sand paper was a pain. Making sanding sticks was worse. The whole surface should be sanded clean and have a matte finish. If it isn't, the liquid moves and the results are spotty. Use the etching pad, stamp, apply powder, shake off and clean up the design. Now is the tricky part, use the heat gun, it takes longer because the metal is a conductor and is cold, needs to heat up, then stays hot for a while. I overheat it to get the powder to flow. Make sure you have your piece on a heat resistant surface. I use a 6" anvil. It is metal, but is too big to get hot and cools my piece off faster because I am impatient.
I use nail polish to cover the back and any areas I don't want etched. I tried to paint with polish as the resist, which would work, but I did not get the results (mostly because of the ugly design). You could also use contact paper, packing tape and make a stencil, but I am impatient.
Pop the creation in the ferric chloride, and wait... I usually check it after about 15 minutes, which isn't long enough. I use a toothpick to see if it is etching, a hemostat for tweezers. The acid gets black and it is hard to see what is going on so rinse and check, then chuck it back in the solution. It can stain clothes and your skin so be careful when chucking. I should wear gloves, you should wear gloves.
When it is done, I brass brush it, pick off the etching (with the side of a dull pocketknife) use nail polish remover on the back and there it is! I soldered it to this bracelet and used a rivet, mostly for decorative purposes. Oh, I hammered the edges as well. I used 20g for the copper and etched it for a while so it was deep as I was making a cuff that would have to withstand some wear and tear. I don't much like the thinner metal I've used, not as dramatic. Anyway, here is the finished product. Easy peasey!

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has expressed delight over the news that co-star Antony Cotton has signed a new contract with the soap.
Last week, it was revealed that the actor had landed a new deal which will see him remain in the role of Sean Tully for another year.
Marsh told New: "I'm really glad Antony Cotton will be staying on at Corrie after renewing his contract for 12 months. He's great fun and is very bubbly on set. He's always making us laugh with the outrageous things he says!"
The 34-year-old also said that she was pleased about the recent decision to award MBEs to long-standing cast members Barbara Knox (Rita Sullivan) and Eileen Derbyshire (Emily Bishop).
She commented: "It was a long time coming, but it makes it extra special that the honours came in Corrie's 50th year."
Reports last month suggested that Marsh had signed a two-year deal to continue in the part of Weatherfield barmaid Michelle Connor.

I'm in the habit of adding (maybe I don't have to any more or there is something better) of adding line-height and margin-bottom spacing to all paragraphs to account for Yahoo's spacing issues.
The problem is that when clients enter multiple p's in the editor, those p's don't have that. so I get spacing issues.
Here is the code I used for these sections:

<$description default='
Enter News and Articles
'$>

What can I do to fix this and is there a better way to account for this?
Hi Brett,
If you want it on all paragraphs in that div, try adding the css to the p tags inside the div instead. In your CSS stylesheet in the head (which will automatically get added inline to all paragraphs) something along the lines of:
div.description p {
font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
Then in your code, you'll add the description class to the div and leave the rest alone:

<$description default='
Enter News and Articles
'$>

That makes perfect sense, but I thought most email clients ignore anything outside the body tag? Does CM apply all head styles inline before it sends?
Hi Brett,
Yes, all those styles in the head will be applied inline before sending. So you just want to add paragraph styling to your stylesheet and it'll be taken care of from there.

The parents of a child suffering from a severe brain tumor signaled Monday they would defy efforts to force them to return to Britain, days after their family fled to seek a novel kind of radiation treatment for the 5-year-old boy.
A Spanish judge ordered Brett and Naghemeh King held for 72 hours while documents are translated and doctors are consulted. After that, the judge could extend their time in detention or release them.
The family had fled to Spain in hopes of selling a property to obtain enough cash for a new treatment in the Czech Republic or the United States they hope will help their child. Police pursued them and issued an arrest warrant on suspicion of neglect after Southampton General Hospital realized their patient – 5-year-old Ashya King -was gone, without their consent.
British authorities have made no apology for the warrant and travelled to Spain to question the couple. Assistant Chief Constable Chris Shead, of Hampshire Constabulary, has said he would rather be criticized for "being proactive" than "potentially having to explain why a child has lost his life."

Milestone work to be presented at LMS European Vehicle Conference in Munich.
LMS International and e-Xstream engineering have started a strategic partnership to develop fatigue tools for random fiber-reinforced composites. Composite materials are increasingly seen as a viable alternative to conventional engineering materials. Besides being extremely lightweight, quasi-random fiber composites are easy to manufacture and offer numerous advantages compared to conventional metals. Although promising, using quasi-random fiber composite materials in structural parts is still limited because it is difficult to assess mission-critical performance issues, like durability.
"An accurate prediction of composite fatigue performance requires in-depth knowledge of fatigue and the anisotropic, heterogeneous and process-dependent behavior of composite materials. Combining our mutual expertise and software capabilities will add accuracy and predictability to the benefit of our common customer base" stated Dr. Roger Assaker, CEO of e-Xstream.
Until today, reliable and computationally inexpensive simulation methods for composite durability assessment were unavailable, making it difficult to realistically implement them into the digital design cycle. To overcome this, the combined LMS and e-Xstream tools and services bridge the gap between manufacturing simulation results and the prediction and improvement of composite fatigue behavior. This allows a unique seamless integration of local material modeling, finite element calculations and fatigue prediction
"With e-Xstream, LMS has found an extremely innovative partner with the necessary knowledge, skills and complementary software products in material modeling," said Stefaan Goossens, Vice President, Simulation Division at LMS International. "Combined with our 20 years of fatigue loads and simulation know-how, the partnership enables us to produce software solutions that are both accurate and efficient from the very start of our collaboration. Shortly, our customers will be able to confidently use innovative composite materials to produce lighter, more sustainable and eco-friendly products."
An industry milestone, these solutions will premiere at the LMS European Vehicle Conference in May 2011 in Munich.

Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed tunnel for TCP/IP or UDP data transfer between two systems. This allows traffic such as telnet, FTP, and X to be protected from snooping as well as potentially gaining performance over low-bandwidth networks from compression.
oSIP implements the Session Initiation Protocol (published by IETF as RFC 3261). It can provide signalling capabilities for multimedia applications (IP phones, etc.). It provides a fully usable parser for the SIP syntax and implements the "transaction layer" as defined in the draft. It also provides an SDP parser and extra features for the User Agent. It can be used to build both proxy and IP phones.
TkSQL allows you to edit the tables of PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. You can use it from the shell prompt, specifying the name of a table, or an SQL satement, or just the name of a database. It has filter capabilities which are very easy to use. Two views are possible (tables and form) and both views can coexist. TkSQL can edit a join of two tables (limited to the first of such tables). Totals and subtotals can be done quickly, and displayed inline with the data or in a separate window. Queries can be created in no time and all working conditions can be saved at once (comprising subtotals, relative time constraints, layout, etc.). It also provides basic tools for creating tables.
Construction Management Software is a solution for builders and construction groups to manage construction projects. It lets your clients stay up to date on their projects online. You can create a project, add tasks and clients, log in and can place comments on each task, and view estimated completion dates and the status of each task. You can export a project to a spread sheet for reporting or to create a status report to take to the job site.
Xlit converts text from one writing system into another. It allows the user to define a transliteration simply by typing the input strings in one window and the strings to which they are to be mapped in another. Transliteration may be restricted to regions bounded by specified delimiters or their complements. Transliteration may also be performed by external commands or plugins. Xlit can also convert one type of delimiter to another, e.g. from HZ escapes to XML. Xlit can read and write transliteration definitions in its own format and as Yudit keymaps. It can be run in batch mode without the GUI.
xRecurseDiff is a small program that can rapidly traverse entire directory trees to show the differences between different copies of the same file. It can be useful for code analysis, expecially for collaborative development. For example, it can analyze differences before a CVS/SVN submission or to resolve a conflict in concurrent editing.
PySQL aims to be a full replacement for sqlplus (and much more). It has features such as history, completion, and line editing. It has high level functions (searching for tables, indexes, count, explain plan, list of sessions, etc.), proper output for screen and files (CSV ready for inclusion in spreadsheets), support for user-defined SQL, background queries, graphical output for the schema data model, object dependencies, a PL/SQL package function call tree, and much more.

The Orphans' Project is entirely relaint on your donations and we welcome any amount you are able to give to help us care for Bomani and the other 20 Nursery babies www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/help

Skeleton-working an ultra-thin calibre is an exercise that demands the savoir-faire of the most experienced master engravers in order to openwork the movement as much as possible without compromising its rigidity, its resistance or its reliability. The EmperadorCoussin 1270S is the end result of adding the complexity of the infinitely small to the constraints implied by a horological complication and its numerous components, further compounded by the automatic winding mechanism –bearing in mind that most skeleton movements on the market are hand-wound. It took no less than three years to develop this exceptional calibre, to accommodate 225 parts within a barely 5.05-millimetre area and to skeleton-work it while ensuring impeccable operation.
Precise calculations and painstaking development work made it possible to exalt the totally unique and identifiable aesthetic of the shaped 1270S calibre, one of the world's thinnest tourbillon automatic skeleton movements at just 5.05 mm thick. In addition to the majestic tourbillon, the inverted structure of this movement provides a view of the platinum oscillating weight and bridges.
The new Emperador Coussin is available in two different versions. With its intense black touches applied to the hands, the micro-rotor, the screws and the tourbillon carriage, the white gold variation exudes a resolutely modern appeal; while the pink gold version is endowed with more classic and traditional assets including an extremely exclusive all-gold movement.

This band knew how to save a life; with genuinely written songs that tug at every heart strings, they were able to connect with people and on a few occasions might have saved someone's life through their heartfelt songs. On June 21, 2012 prepare for a celebration of love, sorrow and life as THE FRAY gives Manila a one night of auditory pleasure.
Formed in 2002, American pop rock band from Denver, Colorado started as a worship band and was initially composed of Isaac Slade and Joe King then joined later on by Dave Welsh and Ben Wysocki. They made waves in 2005 with their breakthrough single "How To Save A Life". The single reached Top 3 in the Billboards Hot 100 and was certified double platinum by RIAA. The album, How To Save A Life, where the same titled song came from also brought forth the hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)". The band was then nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or a Group and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or a Group in 2007. These singles propelled the band into commercial success and international recognition.
"How To Save a Life" was featured in the hit TV Series Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs, making it one of the most played and widely recognized song in that 2006-2007. The song's inspired lyrics came from an encounter Isaac Slade had with a boy with drug problems and realizing that all the boy need was support from his friends and family. People related so well with the song it opened up variety of interpretations, all in all, the song was able to touched the hearts of many and thus solidify The Fray's ability to reach out to their audiences at a deeper level.
Their single "You Found Me" from their self titled sophomore album The Fray, debuted at #28 at the Hot 100 and peaked at #7. "Never Say Never" also from their second album was featured in the movie Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, allowing them to increase their loyal fan following worldwide. With the release of their latest single the upbeat and ear friendly "Heartbeat" from their latest album Scars and Stories, The Fray once again displayed the emotional side of rock and their ability to connect to people.
The Fray's musical approach is composed of piano driven, mid tempo tunes with a laidback feel. Their music is easy to listen to and the lyrics are highly relatable and heartfelt. Some compared the band to the likes of Coldplay and Keane primarily because of the piano driven tracks that leads into power ballads, though they cited The Wallflowers, Counting Crows and U2 as few of their influences. Isaac Slade vocal style gave The Fray the distinction it deserves. The band's ability to render poetic, moving and sincere words into their songs is their strongest point, that and never lacking in melody and catchy hooks.
Be the first to witness The Fray's first time performance here in Manila on June 21, 2012 at the new Mall of Asia Arena. For tickets visit www.smtickets.com or call 470-2222.

On the Naughty List
the most recent release of the story Christmas Bonus
October 14, 2014
You'll get Lori's holiday novella "Christmas Bonus" in this e-only anthology, along with stories from Carly Phillips, Sugar Jamison and Beth Ciotta!
Lori has two co-workers plan a Christmas party side-by-side-and discover a love worth celebrating in "Christmas Bonus."
Carly Phillips explores a "mistletoe moment" when a no-nonsense lawyer intent on seducing her boss meets his twin instead–and gives him a scintillating kiss that leaves him begging for more in "Naughty Under the Mistletoe."
In Sugar Jamison's "Have Yourself a Curvy Little Christmas," former wild child Dina Gregory returns home to New York to find the father of her young son. Instead, she finds his stuffy older brother, Ben. Ben can't help but admire her tenacity—and her bold beauty. Could it be that Dina has reignited his Christmas spirit?
Beth Ciotta brings two friends who, after years apart, together at home for the holidays. They don't seem to have much in common anymore, but when the two get stranded together during a blizzard, they are forced to reexamine if they are better off as "just friends"? Or could it be that true love was there all along? in "Some Kind of Wonderful."
Read an Excerpt »
Book Excerpt
Why oh why couldn't this be a normal storm? Instead of soft, pretty snowflakes dotting her windshield, wet snow clumps froze as soon as they hit, rending the wipers inadequate to keep the windshield clear. Even with the defroster on high, blasting hot air that threatened to choke her, the snow accumulated.
Refusing to stop and refusing to acknowledge the headlights behind her, Beth Monroe kept her hands tight on the wheel. Let him freeze to death. Let him follow her all the way to Gillespe, Kentucky.
She'd still ignore him.
She'd ignore everything that had happened between them, and everything she felt, everything he'd made her feel.
Oh God, she was so embarrassed. If only she could have a do-over, an opportunity to change the past, to correct mistakes and undo bad plans. That'd be the most perfect Christmas present ever.
A simple do-over.
But of course, there was no such thing, not even with the magic of Christmas. And there was nothing simple about the current mess of her life, or the complicated way that Levi Masterson made her feel.
Finally, after hours that seemed an eternity, her stepbrother's hotel came into view. Beth breathed a sigh of relief. Now if she could just park and get inside before Levi shanghaied her. Ben knew of her imminent arrival. She could count on him to send Levi packing.
Not that she wanted Levi hurt... or Ben for that matter.
Fool, fool, fool.
Tires sliding on the frozen parking lot, Beth maneuvered her Ford into an empty spot. After shutting off the engine, she grabbed up her purse, a tote bag loaded with presents, and her overnight bag. Arms laden, she charged from the vehicle.
Three steps in, her feet slipped out from under her. The stuffed overnight bag threw her off balance and she went flying in the air to land flat on her back. Her bag spilled. Wind rushed from her lungs. Icy cold seeped in to her spine and tush.
For only a moment, Beth lay there, aching from head to toe, stunned and bemused. Then she heard Levi's hasty approach.
"Beth, damn it –"
Determination got her back on her feet. She gathered her belongings with haste and then, slipping and sliding, wincing with each step, she shouted into the wind, "Go away, Levi."
Harsh with determination, he yelled back, "You know I won't."
Daring a quick glance over her shoulder, Beth saw him ten feet behind her. He hadn't even parked! His truck sat crossways in the middle of the lot to block hers in, idling, the exhaust sending plumes of heated air to mingle in the frozen wind.
Good God, he looked furious!
Beth lunged forward and reached the door of the diner attached to Ben's hotel. She yanked it open and sped into the warm interior. The tote bag of presents fell out of her hands, scattering small gifts across the floor. Her overnight bag dropped from her numb fingers.
Several people looked up – all of them family.
Oh hell.
Why couldn't there have been crowds of non-filial faces? An unbiased crowd, that's what she sought. Instead she found Noah and Ben have in close conversation at a table. Their wives, Grace and Sierra, sat at a booth wrapping gifts. And her father and stepmother paused in their efforts to festoon a large fir tree situated in the corner.
Upon seeing her, her father's face lit up. He started to greet her – and then Levi shoved through the door, radiating fury, crowding in behind Beth so that she jolted forward with a startled yelp to keep from touching him.
In a voice deep and resolute, vibrating with command, he ordered, "Not another step, Beth. I mean it."
She winced, and peeked open one eye to view her audience.
Not good.
Levi obviously had no idea of the challenge he'd just issued, or the uproar he'd cause by using that tone with her in front of her family.
And now it was too late.
She hadn't wanted this. She wanted only time to think, to hide from her mortifying and aberrant behavior, to... She didn't know what she wanted, damn it, and it wasn't fair that Levi refused to give her a chance to figure it out.
Muttering to herself, she dropped to her knees to gather the now damp and disheveled gifts one more time. As she did so, she said, "Hello Dad. Hello... everyone else." She tried to sound jovial rather than frustrated and anxious and at the end of her rope.
She failed miserably.
With a protectiveness that still amazed Beth, her stepbrothers moved as one. Noah's expression didn't bode well, and Ben appeared equally ready to declare war. Even her calm, reasonable father stalked forward with blood in his eyes.
Plopping her belongings on a nearby booth, Beth held up both hands. "Wait!"
No one did. From one second to the next, Levi had her behind him... as if to protect her? From her family?
Unfortunately, even that simple touch from him, in no way affectionate or seductive, had Beth's tummy fluttering and her skin warming.
She quickly shrugged off her coat.
Levi took it from her, then asked, "Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"
"No. You can leave with a clear conscience. I'm fine." She reached for her coat.
He held it out of her reach. "I'm not going anywhere, so you can quit trying to get rid of me."
The men drew up short. Her father barked, "Who the hell are you?"
Levi turned to face their audience. Positive that she didn't want him to answer that himself, Beth yelled from behind him, "He's a friend." And she tried to ease backward away from him.
"A whole lot more than a friend," Levi corrected, and he stepped back to close the distance she'd just gained.
"Where's her fiancé," Noah asked.
"Busy," Beth said.
"Gone," Levi answered in a bark. He reached back and caught Beth's wrist. His thumb moved over her skin, a gentle contrast to the iron in his tone. "For good."
Confused, Ben asked, "You mean dead?"
"Far as Beth is concerned, yes."
Oh for crying out loud. Knowing she couldn't let this continue, Beth yanked her wrist free and, without quite touching any part of Levi's big, hard body, went on tiptoe to see beyond him.
The masculine expressions facing her didn't bode well.
She summoned a smile that felt sickly. "Hello Dad. Brandon is fine, but we're not engaged any more."
Kent Monroe brought his brows down. "Since when?"
"Since she's with me now instead," Levi told them.
"No," Beth corrected sweetly, "I'm not."
Levi half turned to face her. "Wanna bet?"
His challenge got everyone moving again.
Oh God, she had to do something. "Dad," Beth begged, "I don't want him hurt."
Her father stopped in his tracks. Noah and Ben did not.
But her lovely sisters-in-law took control.
"Noah," Grace called from across the room. "You heard her."
Frowning, Noah paused about three feet from Levi. "I also heard him."
Sierra, a little more outgoing than Grace, raced up to Ben's side and thumped his shoulder. "Knock off the King Kong impersonation, Ben. You're embarrassing me."
"You'll survive." Keeping his eyes on Levi, Ben crossed his arms over his chest and waited.
For reasons that Beth couldn't begin to fathom, Levi stood there as if he'd take them all three on at once. Idiot.
Determined to gain control, she chanced touching him long enough to give him a good pinch.
"They're my family, Levi."
He nodded – but didn't relax.
Fed up, Beth moved around him. "I'm sorry for the dramatic entrance everyone. Levi is a friend –"
"Damn it, Beth, we left friendship behind days ago."
Beth let her eyes sink shut. She'd kill him. She'd never speak to him again. She'd –
His hand caught her shoulder and he turned her to face him. As if they stood alone, as if he had no concept of privacy or manners, Levi lowered his nose to almost touch hers.
In a voice that carried to every ear in the room, he ground out, "I've had enough, Beth. I mean it. We're both adults, both healthy, and finally we're both single. It's ridiculous for you to be embarrassed just because –"
But her warning came too late, and Levi had already said too much. Silence reigned as everyone absorbed his meaning.
Then she felt it, the smiles, the amusement, the awful comprehension.
It took three breaths before Beth could speak.
Eyes narrowed, she nodded at Levi, turned to face her family, and announced, "I've changed my mind. Hurt him all you want."
And with that, she literally ran away.
Noah and Ben kept Levi from following.

Since the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 1997, fans have been captivated by J.K. Rowling's wizarding world. No amount of information is too much to satisfy audiences, and we've all spent more time than we would care to admit immersed in the Potterverse. Today, September 6, 2016, our quest for more knowledge is rewarded with three ebooks that take us farther into the fantasy.
Published by Pottermore, an entertainment and news site owned by J.K. Rowling and dedicated to all things Potter, the books offer short pieces, some of which were originally published on Pottermore, as well as new stories that give us more insight into the politics and hardships of Hogwarts. You'll also get a tour of Hogwarts that only the author can give.
In Short Stories from Hogwarts Of Heroism, Hardship, and Dangerous Hobbies, Rowling opens the door to the lives of Minerva McGonagall, the headmistress of Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin, the werewolf who betrayed Harry Potter's parents. We also get a more in-depth look at the life of Sybill Trelawney, and you'll encounter Silvanus Kettleburn, the former Professor of Care of Magical Creatures who lost his most of his limbs due to his recklessness.
Moving on to Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics, and Pesky Poltergeists, we look behind the cell doors to the darkness that is Azkaban, and we learn more about Dolores Umbridge, the powerful and cruel Professor in Pink whose address changed to Azkaban after being convicted of crimes against Muggle-borns.
And finally, in Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide, the school opens its doors to us, taking us across the grounds and into the classrooms and letting readers spend more time discovering the mysteries held in this school for wizards. It's a school we only wish we could attend if even for a day!
Since most of the material included in the ebooks can be found on the Pottermore website, some readers have complained about purchasing each one when there isn't much new information included. However, J.K. Rowling was quick to offer a reason for the releases in one simple tweet.
We had many, many requests to make the extra writing available in this format.
It makes sense to offer the material for ebook readers. There are plenty of people who simply don't like to spend a lot of time on the internet and would rather be able to take this new knowledge with them. Additionally, the library can make this available to folks that don't have Internet access at home, and the books can be gifted to other readers as well.
Having these books available opens up more options for Harry Potter fans. Regardless of the mild backlash, the ebooks are worth adding to your collection even if it's just to have all things Harry Potter in one easily accessible place. You never know when you might want to refresh your memory before your Harry Potter trivia night with friends.
Though J.K. Rowling says Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the end of Harry Potter, as long as she continues to share books and stories related to the Potterverse, we'll never really lose the Boy Who Lived.

Hi Jo,
I have always gotten pregnant with one try but did have a miscarriage with the first pregnancy. I was not diagnosed at the time and always wondered if it could have been linked to me not knowing I had crohns. But about 3 years later, while pregnant with my 2nd son, I stumbled across my medical records from the hospital visit due to the miscarriage. (My husband and I did not care to know the cause at the time) And I found that the baby had trisomy 9. I wish I could be of more help.
I know this really didn't help your question but wanted to let you know you are not alone.
Hang in there and I really hope everything works out for you.

It is our goal to have all PCS students earn the necessary credits for graduation within four years and to participate in the graduation ceremony with their classmates. With the imposition of increased testing and course requirements from the State Ed., it is very important for students and parents to understand the graduation requirements and for students to stay on track for graduation every year. That means if your child fails a course, he/she should attend summer school right away to make up any lost credit.
In order to promote to the next grade, students must achieve the following:

Well, good for you but your reading comprehension skills are lacking:
we are talking about surfers here....The guy was probably pissed off that he was stuck in the shop while it was firing. not to say his attitude was right but I can understand it and have seen it a billion times over the years. some shops are like that (to be fair, i have no clue how WRV operates). They serve locals and do ok with that. If they don't know you, then they tend to be standoffish. If that is the way this shop works then go somewhere else.

Aww do you babies need your hand held when you shop. I never herd so much crying. Were do you go that you actually get this dream service, No Where. Get over it kooks. If you go in a shop to buy a board you should already know what your looking for, unless you dont know how to surf. So the guy working picks up on your kookyness and they dont want another b**** sitting on a board at first street. Sounds like you all go in the shops with these attitudes of course no one wants to help you I know if I worked in one and you came in I would tell you to kick rocks. cry babies

I never feel comfortable going into a surf shop so if I'm ignored I'm OK with it. However, Shane's attitude does reflect on the company in a negative way. Having said that as a restaurant owner I've seen customers come in with an attitude which makes difficult to be pleasant to them...
Sep 21, 2012, 03:17 PM #54
The vb location is just full of aggro macho bradda men. Every surfer IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE jelly of someone else working in a surf shop. it almost seems like a privilege, tho i have never worked retail...
anyway, i've seen a handful of them surf.... they shouldn't quit their day jobs.

I don't see what's so offensive about "That's it?" It's just another way of saying "Do you need anything else today?" If I were shane I would've acted the same way to some pric making a big deal out of nothing.

pumpmaster...yeah, i saw that after i posted. If that's all you got on me, is a little reading comprehension than so be it. From the way you talk on here, i figured you were so hardcore that you would have surfed obx...but i guess you just flock with all the other homies at the point.
jai-guru- there is absolutely nothing wrong with WRV boards. I own two of them and they are great boards, maybe a little light on the glassing, but other than that, solid. It's more about the people who they have working in their shops. I bought my WRV boards at another surf shop in OCMD, and they are always helpful and get my business.

Since it is the 10th anniversary year, I wanted to check which was the first SAS merchant and which is the longest lasting merchant. According to my research
the first merchant was Gourmet Collection Gift Shop. Gourmet Collection Trademark, about Gourmet Collection, This collection of delicacies is perfect for the distinguished gourmet Connoisseur (merchant 100) who joined on 7/6/2000. Don't know how long they lasted though.
The longest running program was h2otest.com (merchant 142) who joined 7/31/2000 and last commissional transaction was 5/29/2010 (Says they are temporarily offline to date)
The longest one that generated at least one commission in Dec 2010 is Plus Size Clothing, Dresses and More - For Sophisticated Style Buy KIYONNA (merchant 293) who joined SAS Nov 10, 2000 and made a sale this morning.

I think I probably have one of the oldest affiliate accounts. It's just four digits and starts with a 1.

Interesting thread, OJMOO. Thanks for sharing your research efforts. There is s lot of churn in this business and it is nice to see some merchants and affiliates who have been around a good while and still going strong.
As merchants, we love to see those 4-digit and 5-digit SAS affiliates sign up. We know they have been around a while and know the ropes.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

I'm a 4 digiter too, but Coley has be by about 3000.
But anyway, it would be nice if to commemorate the 10th anniversary that SAS could look up stuff, like
Which merchant was the first to generate a million dollars (or $100,000) in commissions
Which merchant was the first to have 10,000 affiliates?
Which merchant took the shortest time to get 10,000 affiliates?
Who was the first merchant to have an affiliate that generated a million in sales all by themselves?
Who is the all time commissions record holding merchant (i.e. which merchnat has generated more commisisons than any other)
Which merchant has the most affiliates?
Which merchant has the most active (made a sale in december) affiliates?
Who is the most successful merchant who does not have a OPM?
Who was the most successful merchant in 2000, 2001, 2002 etc?
And other questions...
Anniveraries are times to see where you started and how far you have gone it would b interesting and fun to see the research on these things.
January 4th, 2011, 01:09 PM #7
Great idea! I'd love to see some of that.

January 5th, 2011, 12:37 PM #9
Great idea indeed - unfortunately none of that data is data that we'd be able to post as it doesn't really belong to us. Individual volume numbers or things along those lines would really be up to each individual Merchant to announce or post - and while I do have the numbers I can't put them up....
Hope to see you all at the 10th Anniversary Party in Las Vegas this Sunday!Thanks,

Bakewell branch of the Royal British Legion Women's Section held their first fundraiser of 2013 at the Town Hall on May 13. The event was organised by the branch standard bearer Mrs Lynne Pheasey.
Thanks were expressed to the following members: Mesdames E. Jackson, E. Elliott, D. Edwards, M. Kreuger, D. Howlett, P. Lunn, A. Dudley who gave up their time to help on various stalls. Thanks were also expressed to K. Daily and her daughter Y. Vickers, who always support the fundraising events by having a stall.
After the payment of expenses the sum of £174.35 was raised. This amount along with the other two fundraisers will form the backbone of Bakewell's donation to the annual Purse Presentation in September at Belper.
The next monthly meeting will be held in the Town Hall on Tuesday, May 28, when the speaker will be Hilary Allwright on Victim Support. Visitors welcome to attend.
Anyone wishing to join the Women's Section should contact the branch secretary on 01629 813925.

So passenger aircraft may continue to create "black holes" in our web coverage, at a time when our appetite for constant contact is becoming insatiable.
Social media is heightening this hunger. When a young woman I know sits drinking coffee with a friend, her eyes are constantly flickering down to her cellphone screen for messages. (Perhaps that's a new meaning to the word "Flickr".)
A young man I know was an hour late for band practice on the day that daylight-saving was introduced. He was disappointed that his iPhone did not automatically adjust its alarm: Another black hole?
But back to Flickr for a moment: Consumer magazine (issue 507) has praised Flickr for the feature that allows you to copyright your own work with creative commons licenses. That's an important protection in an era in which disregard for intellectual property appears to be a trait of social media.
The same review in Consumer talks about the "netiquette" of social media. Its commonsense advice focuses on "oversharing" and recommends that you don't accept just anyone who wants to befriend you. (Remember Dunbar's number in an earlier blog on this site.)
Not that oversharing is likely to be a problem in China. Apparently Twitter is only accessible to those in China who have the skills to penetrate what The Economist (Oct 30, 2010) calls "the great firewall": Another black hole.
Mind you, people there are enthusiastically adopting weibo, China's own heavily-censored microblogging service. But like all anti-matter, black holes attract their opposites and light is flooding into weibo.
According to the Economist, efforts by authorities to delete mention of imprisoned activist and Nobel prize winner, Liu Xiaobo, were circumvented by bloggers using homonyms of Liu's name, or abbreviations in Latin characters. The other morsel in that story was the statistic from a China Youth News survey that reported more than 94% of weibo users saying it had changed their lives: Darkness is dramatically diminishing.
The biggest black hole for social media has always seemed to be the developing world, where only 18% of the population have access to the internet. But wait… According to The International Telecommunication Union more than 50% owned a mobile-phone at the end of 2009, and this allows texting. That presented an opportunity to Nathan Eagle, an MIT academic who did a teaching stint in rural Kenya. So he introduced txteagle, an app which encourages crowdsourcing* of a kind (*see earlier blog on this site).
Nathan Eagle's version of crowdsourcing allows the breaking down of work into small tasks that can be sent out by text to be performed by lots of individuals – such as local people checking street signs in Sudan for a satellite navigation service.
Maybe, with social media, there soon will be no telecommunication black holes left except for airline passengers.

Republicans and a vote monitor in Boulder County, Colorado, filed a lawsuit Monday claiming a county clerk and recorder refused to comply with election law by denying transparency requirements.
According to the suit, Boulder County clerk and recorder Hillary Hall did not allow access while mail-in ballots were counted.
Republicans claim Hall only allowed the count to be observed for a few seconds and denied monitors "sufficient time and access to take even the most basic steps to determine whether a signature should be verified or to lodge a challenge as is their right."
"Clerk Hall's refusal to allow Republican watchers to observe the signature verification process is not only illegal, but it may undermine confidence that our election is being conducted with integrity," Call said.
Hall and Democrats argue the law does not allow poll watchers the right to question voter signatures and say Republicans are attempting to suppress voter turnout.
"This is partisan politics, people who don't like mail ballots trying to discredit them," Hall told FOX31 Denver on Monday afternoon. "The law provides that election judges verify voter signatures, not poll watchers. If they want the right to verify signatures, they should go ask the state legislature."
District Judge Patrick Butler ruled against Republicans soon after the suit was filed.
"While it is not possible to seek an appeal in the time remaining before Election Day, it is our hope that in the future the Colorado Secretary of State or the legislature can better enforce the rules to ensure the access necessary so poll watchers can fulfill their important role in monitoring elections," Call said in a statement following the decision. "Our Party is absolutely committed to the integrity of our elections, and will continue to work to ensure that every legal vote is fairly and accurately counted."
