New GE Advanced Manufacturing Plant to Make Next-Gen Ceramic Parts for Jet Engines
by GE Reports
People have been using ceramics to store food, drink tea and tile their homes for millennia. But GE engineers recently upped the ante and started putting high-grade ceramics inside jet engines. Their jet-age china is a light supermaterial that combines silicon with ceramic-coated carbon fibers. It is tough enough to take the heat and forces inside a roaring jet engine and outperform even the most advanced steel alloys, and light enough to shave hundreds of pounds from the machine.
"We are pushing ahead in materials technology, which gives us the ability to make jet engines lighter, run them hotter, and cool them less," says GE Aviation manufacturing executive Michael Kauffman. "As a result, we can make the engines, and the planes they'll power, more efficient and cheaper to operate."
GE said today it would invest $125 million to build a new 125,000 square-foot advanced manufacturing plant in Asheville, N.C., to make parts from the new material, called ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs.
The first products will be stationary high pressure turbine parts for the next-generation LEAP jet engine manufactured by CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and France's Safran. But CMCs, which weigh a third of metal alloys, could also find applications as light-weight turbine blades, rotors, and other parts.
"When you start thinking about design, the weight savings multiplier effect is much more than three to one," Kauffman says. "Your nickel alloy turbine disc does not have to be so beefy to carry all those light blades, and you can slim down the bearings and other parts too because of a smaller centrifugal force. It's just basic physics."
Engineers at GE Global Research and GE Aviation's plant-size ceramics laboratory in Delawaredeveloped the material over the last 20 years. They also designed the machines to manufacture CMCs. Pending final approval from the state of North Carolina, the Asheville facility would be the first of its kind in jet propulsion.
GE plans to use the Delaware lab and a manufacturing test bed to supply the Asheville plant with flexible CMCs sheets made from ceramics coated carbon fibers bound together by a plastic polymer. Workers in North Carolina would then cut the sheets into shapes, put them inside molds and pack them tightly together in giant pressure cookers called autoclaves, which make the parts take their form.
The parts then travel inside a hot oven that "burns out" the polymer and leaves a tight lattice made from ceramic-coated carbon fibers in the shape of the desired part. "You basically have a hollow shell of fibers," Kauffman says.
(A hot oven "burns out" the polymer and leaves a tight lattice made from ceramic-coated carbon fibers in the shape of the desired part.)
Workers then melt a silicon wafer on top of the lattice and let the silicon wick its way into the shell's nooks and crannies. "The ceramic coating the fiber is the secret sauce," Kauffman says. "It allows us to use a relatively simple process to get really good infiltration."
Finally, the workers will use hard diamond grinders to get the desired part dimensions. "We often use ceramics as metal cutters, so we had to go to one step beyond, to diamond," Kauffman says. "This is a new process. We generally don't cut anything as hard as CMCs."
The company completed design freeze on the first two versions of the LEAP engine in June 2012. The first full LEAP engine, a LEAP-1A for the Airbus A320neo, is on schedule to begin ground testing in September of this year.
Boeing estimates that the world aircraft fleet will double in size over the next 20 years to some 40,000 planes. Much of the growth will come from single-aisle next-gen planes like the A320neo, Boeing's the 737 MAX, and COMAC's C919, the LEAP's target market. CMCs will also serve inside the new GE9X engine selected by Boeing for its future 777X aircraft program.
Southwest, Lion Air, AirAsia, Virgin America, Quantas and dozens of other airlines have already placed orders for more than 4,500 LEAP engines.
GE estimates that the new plant, along with plant and equipment upgrades across GE's facilities in North Carolina, could create 240 new jobs by 2017.

"Even though international support for ACTA has started to waver, governments have not stopped trying to mess with the internet. The latest offender is the US government, now pushing a bill called CISPA.
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) allows for the unlimited sharing of user data among private companies and the government, without safeguards for civil liberties. This bill has global implications, so we need to convince technology companies supporting CISPA, like AT&T, Facebook, Microsoft, and Verizon, that protecting us against cyber threats should not come at the expense of user privacy.
Cyber security is vital to internet usage — it allows us to safely shop online, send emails, and pay our bills. CISPA, though, is so vague that the governments and companies would be able monitor your online communications, censor information, and shut down internet access. There is a better way — one that narrowly defines the roles of companies in fighting cyber threats, limits what information can be shared, and doesn't open the backdoor for governments to spy on us."
Call on companies to protect user privacy and withdraw their support of CISPA by adding your name to the urgent letter and sign the petition by clicking the link below:

Researcher challenges Google after finding names and e-mail address of JotSpot users via Google search and wins--Google changes that and turns everything private.
Harvard researcher finds sensitive JotSpot user information on the Web and says it doesn't elicit confidence in Google's ability to be a secure hosted services provider.
In October 2006, Google acquired JotSpot, a hosted wiki platform for building collaborative Web sites. Sixteen months later, which is like 10 years in Web time, Google is launching JotSpot as Google Sites. Sites.
Google getting into wikis, with JotSpot
Google's JotSpot acquisition finally bears fruit.
Outside of a fanatic few, how many computer users really will give a fig about the revamped JotSpot technology?
After relaunching JotSpot as application for businesses and organizations with their own domains, Google says access to its Google Sites service is now open to the public.

I was just thinking that too. Tanks could get an ability that transfers vengeance to the off-tank before or just after the taunt/swap. this would be a great thing to add to the "active" tanking model they are trying to go for. the other possibility I was thinking is that vengeance could be a debuff tanks have to maintain on the boss, and it multiplies the threat of the current top target by x amount or y%. this way as long as you start out at the top of the threat list you have vengeance working for you, if you have to swap (since taunt can no longer miss) the off-tank automatically gets the stacks transferred to them. they just have to actively keep the debuff up on the target(s). otherwise it's a tank fail, and DPS will over take the tanks on threat, as it should be.

Hey! My name is Ben, if you didn't already know. I am the guy on the right.
I am writing this post because I am very proud of how far I have came with my appearance. My confidence has improved dramatically, I am wearing more trendier clothes and I'm making an effort with my appearance.
As of now, I have lost 4 Stone 12lb's (18 Stone 12lb's -> 14 Stone 0lb). I used to be a waist size of 42"; I am now 34" waist, about to go down to 32". This has taken me a year to achieve.
All I had to do was change my diet, cutting out all the unnecessary sugars and saturated fats, as well as adding in a bit of exercise.
I am loving and enjoying life to the fullest, but I still have a long way to go to achieve my goal weight. I am looking to lose at least another stone or two.
If you need any motivation or believe it cannot be done, just look at me!

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! From the NYC Area to Anaheim, It's a Great Day for Hockey! [NHL Live Thread]
2/24/13 in NHL | kramer | 11004 respect
Ladies, let's get this party started.
Okay, I think I'm awake............
Good Debi, now let's hop on the Q Train, we have an 8 city tour to start on...ALL ABOARD!
Our first stop of the day is down to Miami...can we stay here and keep warm for a while?
Debi: Boston definitely has the momentum, but the Panthers are putting out so much effort, it's hard to pick against them. However, I do think the Bruins will prevail.
Jess: Upset special early in the day. The Bruins are obviously much better than Florida's southern team. But hockey's weird, especially early day hockey. This will likely be a relatively slow-paced game and low scoring, though to no credit of the goalies. Panthers, just because.
BK: I get to break the tie here it seems. I knew eventually the Panthers were going to use up their goal supply. It finally happened here against Fleury 2 nights ago. The Bruins aren't going to be much easier. Bah-ston wins on the road as Florida forgets how to score again.
Boston Bruins @ Florida Panthers: 3:00 PM ET - NHL Network, NESN
Next we're off to Newark where the Devils host the Jets...
Debi: I really don't want to pick this one. Winnipeg, as I've said, is impressing me so much this year!! However, they are up against the Devils. I have to pick New Jersey
Jess: The Devils are confusing the heck out of me. Every time I think they're going to lose, they win. Every time I think they'll beat a team, they lose. So – since I think they can take the Jets, I'M taking the Jets.
BK: *sigh* After they utterly collapsed and let the Flyers walk all over them, I've lost any faith in Winnipeg. The Devils are looking beatable, but not enough to lose to the Jets. I gotta go with the Devils as well.
Winnipeg Jets @ New Jersey Devils: 5:00 PM ET - TSN, MSG+
Westward we go for next for a visit to The Joe...
Debi: LMAO! Detroit
Jess: Ish. Red Wings.
BK: I'm going rogue, Vancouver wins it.
Vancouver Canucks @ Detroit Red Wings: 5:00 PM ET - RSN Pacific, FSN Detroit
Let's head out to the Island for a date at Nassau next, shall we?
Debi: Hurricanes won the first one, but the Islanders seem to have some new life lately, so I'll take them to even up the match. I think they have one more meeting this season, it would be good to go into that one tied up. Yeah, I'll take the Islanders.
Jess: Hold on, let me flip a coin…Hurricanes.
BK: The Isles are back to playing like the Isles, and the Canes are the walking wounded. First to 3 wins...umm, Canes.
Carolina Hurricanes @ New York Islanders: 7:00 PM ET - FSN Carolina, MSG+2
Let's quickly head back west. Windy City, here we come!
Debi: LMAO!! I don't know if I would even show up for this game if I were the Blue Jackets.
Jess: Is today the day the Blackhawks finally lose one? I think that's going to happen relatively soon, but I doubt their first regulation loss will be at home. I predict they continue their streak and give their record a little insurance.
BK: We're aaaaaalll on the Blackhawks!
Columbus Blue Jackets @ Chicago Blackhawks: 7:00 PM ET - FSN Ohio, CSN Chicago
Okay ladies, follow me home for this next one...
Debi: With Malkin out, Pittsburgh will not be as strong as they usually are, but will it affect them enough to make me think Tampa Bay can win? I don't know, so I'll flip a coin. Pitts....no, TB.....no, Okay, Pittsburgh it is.
Jess: With Malkin out of the lineup the Penguins don't have as many weapons but I still see them as being better than Tampa Bay. Especially at home.
BK: Malkin was a one-man wrecking crew against the Bolts last year. This team has also been consistently inconsistent at home. This game worries me, but Tampa did play last night and they have goaltending issues. I can't pick against my Pens, but this game really worries me!
Tampa Bay Lightning @ Pittsburgh Penguins: 7:30 PM ET - NBC Sports Network, TSN2
Next we're off to see Debi's team!
Debi: After a dominant win over the Wild last night (GREAT GAME!!!!) I have to stay loyal to my team. I really think they can do this and win at home again.
Jess: Coyotes had a tough loss in the shootout yesterday to start off their road swing. Without a day off in between, I don't think this game gets any easier. Flames.
BK: I picked the Coyotes yesterday and they crapped the bed in Edmonton. I'm not giving them any leeway today. Flames win on home ice.
Phoenix Coyotes @ Calgary Flames: 8:00 PM ET - FSN Arizona+, RSN West
Finally, we're off to see Jess's Ducks!
Debi: The Ducks have it! Yeah, there is no doubt in my mind the Ducks are going to win this one.
Jess: Uhmmmmm….I'm just happy I get finally get to see my Ducks play again. Geez it seems like forever.
BK: Colorado sucketh on the road. We're aaaaaalll on the Ducks!
Colorado Avalanche @ Anaheim Ducks: 8:00 PM ET - Altitude, Prime Ticket
This is your official live thread to talk (or bitch) about the game(s) you're watching this afternoon and into the night. Talk it up, join the party!

He must be kind of over starring in major movies or something, because a source told Hollywood Life that Robert Pattinson is planning on recording a solo music album once he has free time in his hectic schedule again.
And from the way it sounds, it's not like he's taking a break from acting and giving music a whirl just for the sake of doing something new. Nope. Supposedly he is hoping to record a number one hit song -- which is why he's teaming up with a top songwriter before throwing this album together.
Huh. At first I wasn't so sure how I felt about this little venture, but I gotta say, I think I can totally get behind seeing Rob up on stage using his pipes to their full potential ... can't you?
And considering how hard he's been working these days, it totally makes sense for him to want to shift gears a bit and develop his talents in other areas besides acting. I mean, everybody needs to change up their routine once in a while so they don't wind up all burned out or stuck in a rut, right? OMG. This could do wonders for him as far as recharging his batteries goes.
Yeah. I'm digging this idea for sure. And who are we kidding? I'll be one of the first people to run out and buy his album when it's released. It has to be good. Who would expect anything less than perfection from Rob?
Do you think Rob can make it as a serious music artist?
Image via Pacific Coast News
...sure,..he is very talented person & can make very good musician.....
Love love Rob, but don't quit your day job. He's a talented musician but his singing style is so forced. I have heard him sing in normal singing voice and it was great. I don't think he will jump into an album anytime soon. He's very busy. I don't believe anything these websites write. Not credible!
Yes he´s been talking about making music earlier and he is known for being a musical talent on instruments. I´m sure he got the musical ear to decide, that for him self
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

Moments When Life Went Off-Script
You have to watch this video to believe it—if you haven't already. In November 2008, the week before Thanksgiving, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin appeared at a Wasilla turkey farm to take part in the time-honored tradition of pardoning a Thanksgiving turkey. It all went according to plan: Sarah lifted the 30-pound bird, declaring, "Oh, my God, it's heavy," and officially pardoned it before the cameras. But what followed was absolutely offensive, immoral, and nauseating. Sarah gives a follow-up interview, about what she's thankful for this Thanksgiving—the continued health of her son, Track, who is serving in Iraq—as well as what it was like being John McCain's running mate. While she blathers on obliviously for several minutes, behind her, turkeys are being violently slaughtered: hung upside down, decapitated, and bled. By a creepy guy who looks like he's enjoying it. It's unreal. He's doing to the turkeys what Sarah did to the McCain campaign.

five very long sentences from a proud and nostalgic granddaughter.
He had an eye for a very straight line and an ear for a place for a joke but a very odd eye for colour and so in The Year Two Thousand he insisted to my mother that our house be painted blue and said something about a robin's egg but it looked more like the pool on Windmill Hill and we scoffed and laughed but he insisted that He Knew Best and he climbed the ladder every day until it was done.
The bathroom taps are transparent fuschia and the trim is Cadbury purple but he'd have thought these are colours that women like and this shall be a haven for Ellie with her rollers and her Nivea whatsits and those soaps that smell like flowers or at least that's how I imagine it happening some fifteen years ago when he was strong and here.
He turned fifteen in '51 and received a signet ring all for himself with his double R initials engraved royally in the front but I bet he didn't know that one day in the next century he'd have a granddaughter who would be Mostly All Grown Up who would dutifully pay one hundred and eighty five dollars so that that very same ring would be whole again and she could wear it to carry him and all his story with her all the time.
I have this urge to shake a shake of Old Spice talcum powder on the sleeve of my t-shirt so that I might be sung to sleep by a smell that might confuse me when it says he's here somewhere close by but if I did I'd be concerned that I might do it all the time and become one of those weird folk who bury their faces in wishes.
It's nearly July which really takes my breath away because this is the first year in seventy somethin' that will start and end without him but before this year is over I will stand in London where he once stood when he guarded the Queen and it's the very same Queen and the very same ground and quite a great deal of the very same blood so somehow that comes full-circle and that's okay by me.

From a historical perspective, the cultural norm placing a positive moral value on doing a good job because work has intrinsic value for its own sake was a relatively recent development. Work, for much of the ancient history of the human race, has been hard and degrading. Working hard—in the absence of compulsion—was not the norm for Hebrew, classical, or medieval cultures. It was not until the Protestant Reformation that physical labor became culturally acceptable for all persons, even the wealthy.

Cumbrian mum crawled to safety after brutal beating by son
Published at 08:44, Friday, 17 February 2012
A Carlisle man who knocked his own mum unconscious after a row about his boozing has been told he faces jail.
Colin Davy, 35, of no fixed abode, had been taken in by his mother earlier this month when he found himself homeless.
Carlisle Magistrates' Court heard how he repaid Audrey McKai by brutally assaulting her.
Davy has a number of mental health problems and had threatened Ms McKai in the past.
But she agreed to let him stay with her as long as he didn't drink.
On Wednesday, she suspected he had broken his promise and challenged him.
Prosecutor Jane Mackrill said that all Ms McKai could remember was standing up, then regaining consciousness on her living room floor as blows were rained down on her head.
Ms Mackrill told the court: "He was thumping her hard. She moved her hand to a sore point on her face and felt blood.
"She wasn't sure if he was punching or kicking her but she thought he was going to kill her.
"She could see a pool of her blood on the carpet," she added.
When Davy eventually stopped, Ms McKai managed to crawl to her back door and escape down the path to shout for help from neighbours.
She had suffered numerous cuts to her face and the back of her head.
Davy fractured a bone in his hand during the attack.
Defence solicitor Martin McAllister said his client was troubled but had shown remorse and regret for his behaviour.
The magistrates decided that their sentencing powers – of a maximum six months in prison – were not enough to deal with Davy.
The case was committed to Carlisle Crown Court and he was remanded in custody until sentencing there on March 16.

How many times have you done laundry only to discover a few shirts that needed TLC prior to the wash? Get everyone to tie a know in stained garments before putting them in the hamper; that way they can't escape notice during the sort.

By Aaron.Dries On Dec 24 2012, 6:12 am
The following is an excerpt from my debut novel, "House of Sighs". Here, Reggie Frost indulges in the spirit of Christmas. For her, it's the end of the world masquerading as every dream come true. For us, we who know better, it's a fantasy born from the horrifying murder of this poor mother's family (in fact, there is a knife in her back and she's caught between a conscious state and the lullaby of darkness) … It's neither pretty nor merciful, as the festive season so often can be. Delusions, after all, can have claws.
"A bulb switched on in the Frost home and a slice of light cut across the lawn. A silhouette moved past the living room window. The soft shhhh-shhhh-shhhh of its dragging feet could be heard from outside. Then all fell silent. It studied the landscape on the other side of the rain-speckled glass. It saw grass, the driveway and the monolithic form of the bus wrapped in blue nightfall. These things did not hold its attention. It focused on the dead trees near the veranda, at the fairy lights winking into life in its branches. It tilted its head and saw the Christmas cutouts. It was early November and yet it felt a chill. The silhouette looked up at the sky. The storm clouds were gone.
Something fell across Reggie's vision in gentle, downward swirls. "I can't believe it," she said, blinking.
It was snow.
She turned from the window and surveyed the living room. The tree was decorated with stars and tinsel. It was not the plastic tree she usually put out every year. It was a Fraser Fir. At its peak there was a crooked angel. At the tree's widest girth hung the two plastic Santas, their faces no longer bent inwards. Their eyes were wide, donning eternal smiles from ear to ear.
Under the tree were presents in wrapping of every conceivable color.
She felt warmth flow over her face. It felt so good. Her soul felt light. Yes, she was happy. For the first time in many years, she felt good. The record player started upstairs, the vinyl crackling through the old speakers. It hissssssed.
The air was warm. She could hear the sound of crackling wood. But we don't have a fireplace, she thought.
She started when she heard laughing children. They seemed familiar. It was then that Liz and Jed ran into the room, slapping at each other with tennis rackets. They were young, their faces round and sunburnt. Their hands were covered in orange pulp. The children looked up at her, sheepish.
"We didn't mean to make so much noise," Jed said.
"It's all right, honey. Why don't you take your sister upstairs and wash yourselves good and clean. Okay?"
They nodded and ran, tagging each other all the way. Their feet thumped up the staircase. And they were gone.
Reggie rubbed her hands over her face. Her palms smelled of herbs and stock. That's right, I was getting dinner ready, she remembered. As she crossed the room, she caught her reflection in the framed photographs on the walls. She was thinner than she had been in a long time, her hair pulled up in a loose-fitting bun.
The kitchen was full of food—lettuce, tomatoes, mashed potatoes and stalks of fresh broccoli. Sauces and gravy and honeyed carrots sat in individual bowls. There was a pile of festive paper napkins near a chopping board. They peeled away from the stack and flew into the air one by one. Reggie's gaze shot to the opened kitchen door. She ran to it, the wind blowing her bangs across her vision. She grabbed the doorknob and forced it shut. Just before it closed she heard the sound of distant barking and rattling chains.
Stray maybe, she thought.
She turned to pick up the napkins but they were back in the pile. Wes stood next to the table, returning the last to its place. He looked up at her with kind eyes. Reggie smiled—he looked so handsome. Her husband was well built, broad-shouldered and tanned. She liked that he was balding. There was something masculine about it. It made her tingle, her heart flutter.
"Gee whiz that smells nice," he said. "Is that the roast cooking?"
Reggie was caught off guard. She had to think. Then it dawned on her—yes, it was the roast chicken in the oven that he could smell. How could she forget?
A bell rang in the room.
She ran to the oven, opened it and reached inside. Without the use of mitts she took the tray and placed it on the chopping board. Juices pooled and sloshed. The aroma of white meat and rosemary filled her nostrils; she breathed it in and a shiver climbed her back. A small splash of liquid had spilled when she transferred the chicken to the table. She took a tea towel and bent down to wipe it up. When she threw the soiled towel into the sink, it was covered in rank blood. She did not notice.
Husband and wife embraced in their kitchen. Wes pushed his nose into her collar. "You smell great, hon." He ran his huge hands over the small of her back. She arched her chest against his. A wave of ecstasy prickled her skin and made her dizzy.
"It's just me, I'm not wearing anything," she told him.
"You smell great, hon."
Reggie cocked an ear, thinking, Didn't he just say that? She dismissed it and kissed him. Their lips ground together. It had been a while since they had kissed like movie stars. It surprised her how easily they fell back into the rhythm, their tongues flickering together, tentative at first and then bold. She felt his hardness against her legs and was thrilled.
Thumping from upstairs.
"Hold your horses, Wes, the kids are coming."
They drew apart.
Looking at him, Reggie realized just how much she loved her husband, despite his anger, his flaws. On nights like this when everything was perfect and he touched her like he used to, she could forgive him for anything he did to her or their children.
Jed and Liz ran into the kitchen, panting. They were clean, as were their clothes. "Why don't we open a present or two while we're waiting for the chicken to cool," Wes said, turning to Reggie for affirmation. "That's okay, isn't it?"
"Yeah of course!" She laughed for a moment and then stopped. Had he just asked her in an accent? Reggie was positive he had. A thick, midday television, American accent. She shook her head, feeling stupid. You're losin' it, Reg, she told herself, chuckling again.
They all went to the living room and kneeled before the tree and each took a present.
The record continued from upstairs, only it was playing at half speed. The words were drawn out and pained.
Reggie watched Jed open his gift. He tore the red cellophane away. She felt his expectation and smiled with him. Revealed was a small, hardcover book on eagle breeds. It had been her husband's idea to get it. Jed loved it, flickering through the pages and coming to a double-page spread, an eagle's wings stretching from left to right. It was a beautiful illustration, very detailed.
"You must have behaved yourself this year, Jed," she told her son. "Santa's been good to you."
"Yeah, I reckon so," he replied, holding the book to his chest.
Liz sat before the tree, its needles in her hair. She opened a shoebox-sized gift. Reggie watched her face light up when she saw her present. Part of the joy of being a parent is to live for and through the happiness of your child, this she knew.
The box was empty.
"Oh I love it," Liz squealed, holding the nothingness to her underdeveloped breasts. "Thanks so much, Mom, Dad."
Wes kissed her. "Don't thank us, thank Santa."
"Oh yeah." She winked at them. "That's right."
Liz stood and hugged her mother. "Gee, girl. God's stretching you like taffy. I'm going to have to put a brick on your head just to slow you down." Reggie ruffled her bangs. They laughed. "Let's go eat, what do you think?"
Wes, Reggie, Liz and Jed sat at the kitchen table. Wes cut the bird open with her sewing scissors. The rib cage snapped open with each brutal clench. The meat was bright red, dripping juices.
"Smells awesome, Mom, seriously it does," Liz told her.
"Thanks, Liz."
They helped themselves to the food. They ate in silence, with only the sound of clinking forks and scraping plates. After a few minutes the back door started to rattle in the wind, and then it blew open with a bang.
Reggie ran to it and looked out into the backyard. Snow covered the grass and the trees behind the yard. Bound to the clothesline on a thick chain was a large Rottweiler. Its eyes glowed in the dark, its mouth wide and dripping foam.
From behind her she heard Wes talking to Liz. Only his voice was slow and grating, just like the record player. "You're nothing but skin and bone," he said. "I'vvveeee ssseeeennn ssscccaaarrreecccrooowwwss wwwiiithhh mmoorrreee ssstuuffiinggg."
Reggie threw her weight against the door but the wind blew harder. She squinted as she looked back into the yard. Beyond the dog, on the ground near the trees, there was a young man, a stranger on his side facing the house.
Another gust of wind drove into her face. Gasping, Reggie looked down at her feet.
"I'm not wearing any shoes," she said out loud. She could have sworn she had been. Reggie was also surprised to see that she was wearing a thin, floral dress. Her apron was gone. She could see her bulbous knees, the beginnings of her cellulite-dimpled thighs.
The dog's barking grew more vicious.
She looked up. The young man lying down in the grass was gone. And so was the snow. It was so very dark outside.
The wind died. Her hair fell about her face, lifeless and spent.
Reggie turned around. She felt heavier. There were pains in her body that had not been there moments before. It was as though the wind had disappeared and taken with it all the warmth from her bones and from the room.
The kitchen was empty, food scraps on the table.
A noise escaped from the living room. Her heart skipped a beat.
Holding a hand to her chest, Reggie crossed the kitchen. As she walked the wallpaper began to peel in thin, curling fingers. Her shadow grew long behind her. She absently nudged an uncooked chicken with her foot. It slid across the linoleum with a sick sound.
She entered the living room. Above her, blind moths beat at the exposed bulb, burning themselves alive out of love for light. An ochre glow blanketed the room. It was the color of cigarette stains and tea bags. Reggie looked at the Christmas tree. The branches had dwindled and died, a large pile of needles scattered over the floor.
Reggie felt life bleeding out of her. She looked for the photos on the walls and saw that they were gone, shattered and destroyed on the stairs.
"What's happening?" she asked the room. "Where'd you all go?"
On the carpet at her feet the two Santa ornaments looked up at her. Their faces were bent inwards again.
She heard the noise again. A quiet scratching from somewhere.
Reggie looked up. Her eyes scanned the room for movement. She felt hollowed out when she saw that the tree was gone. Where it had stood there was only the remains of the reading lamp and dust balls.
The room was alive with the frenetic shadows of the moths.
She saw the window facing the front yard.
And saw the face staring in at her.
Rabid eyes looked out from behind twisted locks of hair. Its mouth was open and its tongue lolled out like a wet, blue steak. The face was streaked with blood and brains and strips of flesh that dangled from its chin.
Reggie screamed.
The creature in the window screamed too, a high-pitched mewling—in its cry one heard tortured cats.
Terrified, Reggie turned to run and saw it turn too. Then she saw what was in its back, sticking out from between its shoulder blades at a ninety-degree angle.
A carving knife.
A bolt of pain like nothing she had ever experienced before, both blunt and sharp and hot and cold, exploded in her back. Reggie reached her arms around her sides until her fingers brushed up against something hard. Like a dog chasing its tail she spun and saw only the kitchen door.
And the long river of blood that stopped at her feet.
"Oh God," she cried.
She turned back to the window, praying that what she feared was not true.
It was.
The monster in the window was her reflection. It came back to her in a blinding flash: the man grabbing her by the ankles and pulling her into the kitchen. He had the knife in his hand and drove it into her back. The sound of it puncturing through her flesh had filled her mind and echoed.
It can't be true, she told herself. If I've been stabbed, I should be dead. I'm alive, aren't I? I'm alive.
Darkness clouded over her—she felt weak and dropped to her knees. And saw the headless body of her daughter. She recognized her distinctive jawbone, the remains of her uniform.
"My baby!"
Reggie felt the blade push in farther, find her soul and tear it to shreds. She caught sight of something large and red in her periphery vision.
It was her son. The walls surrounding him near the bottom of the staircase were streaked in haphazard arcs of blood. His wrists had been cut.
Her mouth was open but no sound came out. Agony filled her, burning hot. Everything was falling away from her. The faster her heart beat, the darker it got.
And then she saw what was left of her husband…"

ROTHSCHILD, Wis. (WSAU) - The Bloodcenter of Wisconsin is looking for your help Friday afternoon at a blood drive in Rothschild.
Spokeswoman Vicki Bohman says area hospitals are in critical need of blood. "We have less than a one day supply of a number of critical blood types including O Negative, which is the universal blood type." Bohman says they'll be taking all types of blood, though.
The blood drive runs Friday from 12 to 5 pm at the Rothschild village hall. You are welcome to drop in, but Bohman says you should call ahead for an appointment if you know you're coming.
If you are heading out to donate blood, Bohman says you should eat a good meal, get plenty of rest and plan to be gone for about an hour. You will need a valid driver's license to donate blood.
For more information or to sign up for a donation time, call the Bloodcenter at 1-888-310-7555.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Use this recipe from "Pasta Sfoglia," by Colleen and Ron Suhanosky, to make Sweet Potato Gnocchi, Drunken Prunes, and Amaretti.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Rice flour, for dusting
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap sweet potatoes in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Bake until easily pierced in the center with a fork, about 1 hour. Let cool.
Step 2
Place russet potatoes in a large pot; add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until easily pierced in the center with a fork. Drain, and let potatoes cool to the touch.
Step 3
Wrap both sweet and white potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove skins. Pass potatoes through a food mill fitted with a medium-hole dish, or through a ricer, into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Spread all-purpose flour on a clean, dry work surface. Place potatoes on top of flour. Add egg, maple syrup, and salt. Using your hands, mix together ingredients on work surface until well combined to form a dough. Gently knead dough into a 10-by-8-inch rectangle. Let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Lightly dust a clean, dry work surface with rice flour. Cut the rectangle into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1-inch-thick rope. Cut each rope into 1/2 inch gnocchi.
Step 6
Store gnocchi on a rice flour-covered baking sheet until ready to use. Dust with rice flour. Gnocchi can also be frozen up to 2 weeks. To freeze, place them, dusted with rice flour, in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, place them one on top of the other in an airtight container. To thaw for cooking, place gnocchi in a single layer on a baking sheet in the refrigerator for not more than 1 hour before cooking. Continue cooking according to recipe directions.

Nov 13 2011: We need to learn from the schools that go to the limits, that are attempts at the full implementation on the rights of the child, sadly state schools can have so many limitations of imposed values of exams, assessments, national curriculums... that we can not find them there. One example is A.S.Neill's Summerhill School, for 90 years 'surpassing expectations' for its implementation on the rights of the child (secretary of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2000). It has just recieved a good to outstanding Ofsetd inspection - outstanding for citizenship and community and justice. In 1949 the inspectors said, all educationalist should visit it to see this exciting experiment. Now people like Sir Ken Robinson say, let it be moved from the fringe to the manistream. I can offer talks, workshops and resources to get children thinking about what is possible in schools and children's communities - using staff and children from the school. Let's create debate, let's stimulate ideas, let's get the children to create change, in partnership with the adults.

Linux: It's Not Just for Intel Anymore
Jim Paradis sums it up well:
Implementing ANY operating system on a new platform, is a major undertaking. It has taken dozens, if not hundreds, of programmer-years to bring the Intel version of Linux to the point where it is today. Too, while a kernel port is a significant piece of engineering, it is only a small part of porting an operating system. It is not surprising that the non-Intel versions of Linux are taking some time to appear.
You can all help yourselves to the samples we have provided. What? The glasses are empty? Of course they are, that's one of the risks in breweries like these. Good brews take time. We do hope you've enjoyed your tour of the new virtual breweries, though. And remember, when sampling RISC ports, don't hold your breath!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
