All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of December 10, 2007
Erica got busy at Kendall's, and Josh pledged his support. He told her he planned to move in so he could help out more, and offered be there for Erica, too. He tried pointing out that she was working like crazy to keep her mind off of Jack, but was interrupted by a knock at the door. Josh welcomed Joe in, but Erica immediately said he wasn't welcome after what he did to her relationship with Jack. Erica made sure they were left alone, and Joe defended his actions. Erica took a few shots, and Joe left. Josh came back in and told Erica he was on her side. She told him the story, and Josh told her if she wanted Jack back, she would have to admit she was wrong and apologize. Erica wasn't keen on the idea, but admitted she shouldn't have forged the papers committing Greenlee to a mental institution.
Ryan accused Richie of coming to Pine Valley so he could get himself killed. He read Richie's life insurance policy: if he died in an accident or by murder, Dr. Chambers would get $1 million dollars. Ryan suggested that was why Chambers got him out of jail. If Richie got Annie to kill him she would end up in jail, like he did. Richie claimed he papers were fake, and accused Ryan of being afraid of how close Annie was to losing it. Ryan promised Richie would never be able to go after Annie again, but Richie said he wouldn't have to — Annie would come to him. With that, Ryan left the room and told Joe he needed his help. He said he had proof that Richie was a danger to himself and to others. He asked what the hospital could do about mentally ill patients.
At the cabin, Kendall was thrilled to find proof that Greenlee and Zach were together, and pointed out that Aidan would never have known without her help. Kendall called Erica and told her she and Aidan were working together now. Next she called and confirmed Spike's surgery. Aidan told her to go home; she needed to be with her sons. Kendall told him how badly she treated Zach the last time she saw him, and said that before the surgery, she wanted to promise Spike that his dad was coming home. Aidan said Greenlee was his priority, but they could work together. He would call with updates every hour. She told him Greenlee was a lucky girl, then left. When she got home, she took a moment before going in to see Erica and Josh. She promised herself she would be okay, Zach would be okay, and Spike would be okay.
Greenlee panicked that they would die in the bomb shelter. Zach told her she had to pull it together. She continued to freak out. Zach told her he wasn't giving up. Finally she began to calm down and started drinking the liquor Zach offered her. After a few chugs, she took a blindfold from Zach and tied it over her eyes. She spoke to Aidan and promised she was coming home to him, and they'd have a life together. Zach got back to digging.
Lily continued to repeat the word "murder." Sean tried to get through to her as Jonathan and Ava arrived at the house. Jack left a message for one of Lily's teachers, and then called Julia and left a message thanking her for her support. Ava attempted to talk to Lily. She offered to switch places with
Lily — to give her her life. When that didn't work, Jon tried. He told her he was trying to solve the mystery, and he needed her help. She told him about Richard. Jonathan showed her a picture of Richie, and realized he was her Richard. He told her he knew about the murder and it wasn't going to happen.
He told her Richie wasn't worthy of her love, and that her love was like no one else's. Ava listened outside the room and was saddened by his words. Jon brought Lily downstairs, and he told Jack that she was all right.
Joe moved Richie out of his room and into the psych ward — where he was greeted by Janet. "I think you took a wrong turn," she quipped.
Tad fed Jenny and gave Krystal the cold shoulder. He expressed his anger that Adam had held Jenny. Krystal pointed out that Adam had helped her and Jenny when she cut her hand. She asked that he respect her feelings. Tad let her know he didn't respect her feelings at all. They continued to argue, and eventually Tad said he was suing for full custody of Jenny. Krystal looked at the papers and saw they were dated weeks ago. "You were planning this all along!" she accused. Tad told her he had no choice anymore. She reminded him that Adam's actions were in the wake of complete devastation at finding out she had cheated on him and was carrying another man's baby. Krystal warned him he was in for a battle.
Adam visited JR in jail and asked if he remembered anything. JR told him he hadn't. Adam informed him that he had paid his bail, but the terms stated he was to be under house arrest at the mansion. JR said there was no way he was going home with him. Adam tried to convince him, to no avail, and left frustrated. Meanwhile, Amanda watched a video she made of JR the night of Zach's accident. In the video she asked him to tell her every bad thing he'd ever done. He admitted to trying to kill Babe, to faking his kidnapping and making Greenlee think her embryos still existed. Amanda chuckled to herself, saying she was finally going to make the Chandlers pay. She called her mother's institution, and told them she wanted her Janet's accommodations upgraded as high as possible. Then she made a call and bought a sports car.
At the hospital, Kendall, Ryan and their family gathered around Spike in preparation for his surgery. Ryan gave him a pep talk, and then Kendall handed him over to Joe. After settling Spike in, Joe came back out and showed them the implant. He left after promising to keep them updated. Kendall broke down, wishing her husband were there with her. Josh walked in and gave her Zach's Red Wings jersey, thinking she might have wanted something of his with her. Josh worked to cheer her up, and Ryan and Annie apologized for not being there for her. Kendall told them she understood they had a lot going on with Richie. Jack arrived, saying he still thought of Kendall as his daughter. Kendall tried to bring up Greenlee, but he said they weren't going to talk about Greenlee right then, they were there for Spike. Julia came out and told them everything was going well so far. She asked Jack about Lily as Erica looked on suspiciously. Jonathan and Ava showed up with a present for Spike. Annie and Ryan commended him on helping Lily.
Erica asked what was wrong with Lily, and Julia explained that she'd had a breakdown, but that Jon helped her through it. Erica couldn't believe Jack hadn't called her. She said she still thought of Lily as a daughter, just as he felt that way about Kendall. Joe came to let them know that everything was going as planned, much to everyone's relief. Ryan told Kendall that he'd seen her on the phone earlier, and she filled them in on her combined efforts with Aidan. Ryan promised they were going to find Zach. Kendall said she knew they would, but for him to miss Spike's surgery he had to be in real trouble. Ava talked to Jonathan about what he'd done with Lily. She couldn't believe how connected they were, and Jon wondered if she was bringing this up because she'd been seeing JR. He knew she'd visited him in jail. She reminded him she was a witness — she'd seen JR the night of the accident. They agreed it wasn't the time or place to continue discussing it. Joe came out and announced that the surgery was over and everything went well. In a couple of weeks they would turn the implant on and see if it worked. Kendall hugged Zach's jersey and told him Spike made it — and he would, too.
Adam returned home to find Amanda in his living room. She told him she had JR's alibi. She was with him all night, and she had proof in the form of a video, which she would provide — for a million dollars. He became distracted when Amanda reminded him of the box of Kathy's things she had brought him when he was blackmailing her. Amanda left, telling him to call her if he wanted to make a deal. Adam pulled the birth certificate he found under the couch out of his pocket. He quickly realized the birth certificate belonged to Julia's little girl, and that Dixie was her birth mother. He called his lawyer and asked him to investigate — he thought he'd found Tad's missing daughter.
Greenlee told Zach she knew why he was in such a bad mood — Spike's operation was that day. She was sure the surgery would make Spike better. Greens confessed that she was guilty of taking Spike. She lost her mind for 15 minutes but quickly realized what she was doing. She would do anything to take it back. Zach had nothing to say in response. Clearly annoyed, Greenlee said it was his turn to make a confession. He told her to help him with the digging.
Ryan and Annie told Kendall there was plenty of reason to celebrate — Joe said Spike's surgery was a success. Jason came to visit and brought a present for Spike. He told her the implant worked for him and he hoped it would for Spike too. Ryan was reassuring Annie that Richie wouldn't be a problem anymore when Kendall brought Jason over and introduced them. Before he left, Kendall promised to let him know how Spike was doing, and said she'd set up a meeting once Spike recovered. Annie left to check on Emma. Ryan admitted he had to tell Kendall something: He saw Aidan escaping with Greenlee and let them go. Kendall wasn't sure how she felt about it, and he asked if she would have confessed if she'd had the chance. Kendall got upset and said she would do anything to bring back Greenlee and Zach, and rushed out. She ran into Hannah in the hall, who blamed her for Zach's disappearance. Kendall was infuriated. They sniped at each other, and Kendall called her out on trying to seduce Zach. Ryan approached after Hannah walked away, and promised Kendall that everything would be alright.
Annie ran into Babe and told her that they had Richie committed to the psych ward. Babe replied that just because they snowed some doctors didn't mean they could snow her. Annie explained that Richie came to Pine Valley to put her in prison. No amount of explanation could convince Babe, however, and in the end she stormed off. Annie joined Kendall and Ryan and told them everything was fine at home. Joe came in and told them he had high hopes that Spike's implants would help him hear again. They went to see him. After saying hello, Ryan and Annie left Kendall alone with Spike so they could go spread the good news. Kendall told Spike she thought he was okay because she'd made a life-changing promise to the cosmos. She wondered how she would keep it.
Janet chatted up Richie, who wanted nothing to do with her unless she could find him a way out of there. Janet warned him she was the last person in the world he wanted to offend. Richie apologized, and Janet accepted, but only if he told her everything about himself. Richie told her about Annie, and that he had leukemia. Janet told him she'd help him escape.
In the woods, Aidan spotted a sleeping bag. When he approached, a man grabbed him from behind, but Aidan quickly got the upper hand. He was convinced the man was in the Army (which he denied), and asked for his help. He explained that he was searching for a woman, and showed him Greenlee and Zach's pictures. The man finally admitted he was a soldier. Aidan told him where he'd already searched, and asked that he search the remaining areas and be discreet about it. He said he would. After Aidan told him the house was open to him, he told him his name was Quentin.
Kendall visited Spike and told him how well he was doing, and that Zach wanted to be there. She told him she couldn't keep her promise, because of him and Ian — she couldn't leave them. She would do anything else, but she couldn't abandon her boys. A nurse came in to check on Spike, and she went into the hall, where she found Aidan. He asked how Spike was. Kendall told him Spike pulled through because she made a deal with God, and she couldn't go through with her end of the deal. She couldn't confess to what she did to Greenlee. Aidan told her confessing now wouldn't do any good, and said that Greenlee didn't want her behind bars; she wanted her with Spike. Kendall suspected Aidan was giving up hope of finding them alive, but he explained that he'd waited his whole life for Greenlee, and it couldn't be too late. Kendall was moved by the depth of his feelings for Greens, and promised him they would find them.
Greenlee gave Zach another opportunity to say something about her confession, but he just stared at her. Meanwhile, a snake slithered on a wall unseen. Zach asked Greenlee what food they had left. She told him everything left was inedible. Zach tasted the water and informed her they couldn't drink it. She figured they could at least bathe with it, but Zach just wanted to keep digging. As he did so, Greenlee muttered to herself but suddenly jumped up and cried out. She'd seen something. Zach told her it was nothing, and she searched the floor for the love letters, needing a distraction. She screamed and grabbed her arm — something had bit her. Then she spotted the snake.
Tad visited JR and told him about the custody suit. JR compared it to when Adam tried to cut Dixie out of his life. Tad told JR it wasn't the same. He just couldn't be constantly worried about Adam's presence in Jenny's life. JR told him that Adam had paid off a judge and gotten him bail, but he had to be released into his custody and remain under house arrest. Tad worried about him going back to Adam's home, but said he would support whatever decision JR made.
Krystal vented to Babe about Tad's reaction when he found Adam holding Jenny. Babe told her mom that Tad was justified in flipping out. Krystal couldn't believe Babe was on Tad's side. Babe said she wasn't, and that they would find a way to fix things. Babe suggested Krystal was struggling with not being Jenny's only parent. With Babe, she didn't have to consider anyone else, but Tad has as much say in Jenny's life as Krystal does. Babe left, and Krystal stood deep in thought. Later, Tad walked in as she was packing a suitcase, and demanded to know where she was taking his daughter.
Amanda met with Adam, and told him her price had gone up to $5 million. He insisted she show him the video, and he claimed it wasn't enough proof until she pointed out that the radio was on and an announcer was talking about a one-night concert that was about to begin at 7:30, proving the video was taken during the time Zach was hit. Adam took at jab at Janet, and Amanda warned him he should be playing nice with her. She deleted the video but Adam didn't blink an eye; he knew there were other copies. Amanda conceded and pulled out the backup DVD. Her price, however, remained at $5 million and ownership of JR's yacht. Adam agreed to her terms. Once Amanda confirmed the money was in her account, she handed over the DVD. She left, but only after getting the papers for the yacht. Adam got a call from Livia saying that JR had taken the deal and was on his way home. Adam ordered all of JR's favorite foods to be made, and smiled to himself: He would have paid a lot more than $5 million to keep his son out of jail. Adam greeted JR at the door. Before Adam had a chance to tell JR the good news about the DVD, JR gave a speech about not being there to bond, and just being there to figure things out. Adam told him he wouldn't get involved at all, handed him the DVD, and asked him to put it in the vault on his way upstairs.
Adam wondered if JR was curious about the content of the DVD he put away. JR assumed it was dirt on some poor person. He then told Adam that Tad was suing Krystal for custody of Jenny. Enraged, Adam tried to leave, but JR stopped him. He reminded him that Adam did the same thing to Dixie, and laid into his dad for what he did to Jenny. Adam insisted Krystal had forgiven him. JR said Adam needed to let Tad and Krystal hash this out alone. If he really loved her he would let her go; he'd be stupid to go up against Tad. Adam called his lawyer to see what he'd found out about Kate. Barry told him that Kathy is definitely Kate.
Krystal told Tad she wasn't running away from him, she was running away from Adam. She agreed that Jenny should be nowhere near Adam. Krystal wanted to start over somewhere else, with Tad. He told her Adam would find them wherever they went, so he refused to go along with her plan. Infuriated, Krystal agreed they would work it out in court, and announced she was taking Jenny to Babe's. Tad said Jenny was not leaving their house. They argued, but eventually Krystal handed her over. Tad took her upstairs as Krystal left.
Kendall and Ryan brought Spike home. After Kendall put him to bed, Ryan asked if she would like to order in dinner. She told him she didn't have to babysit her, but quickly realized he didn't want to leave Spike. Kendall told him he and Annie were welcome to come stay so they could all be together. She also told him about the promise she made to God that she would confess to setting up Greenlee if Spike survived...but she hadn't kept her word. Ryan asked if she regretted what she did. Kendall said she had second thoughts the whole time she was planning it, but she would never be able to forget that Greenlee caused Spike's deafness. Ryan said he thought she'd been punished pretty severely. He asked what she would say to Greenlee if she came through the door right then. Kendall didn't know. Joe stopped by with big news: Spike's post-op test results showed his hearing loss was not caused by Greenlee's car accident, after all. No one was to blame; he would have become deaf regardless.
Quentin brought Aidan a rock covered in blood that he found in near where Aidan had found Greenlee's cell. He warned Aidan that the temperature was supposed to drop considerably, and Zach and Greenlee didn't have gear. Aidan got in his face for suggesting that Greenlee was probably dying or dead, and Quentin shoved him off. Aidan apologized and they went outside to search, all the while talking about their Army experiences. Then Aidan came across something hard on the ground and began uncovering it. They found a hole in the ground. In the bomb shelter, Zach killed the snake as Greenlee panicked that she would die from the poison. Zach said they had to get the poison out, and he sucked on the bite. After, he wrapped it up, gave her the alcohol, and then suggested they eat the snake for dinner. Greenlee said that wasn't happening, and told him he should have let her die. Zach said they had to stick together. He got back to digging, but Greenlee stopped him because she thought she heard something. Meanwhile, Quentin was lowering Aidan into a hole in the ground.
Adam showed up at Tad's and told him he had information he would want — and once he heard it, he'd want to drop the custody suit.

On each started ran APUP v1.4.14 and selected Windows 7 SP1 (x64) (New Layout) 11 June 2013 > downloaded > Autopatcher v5.7.36.
On #1 system Windows Seven x64 has no listing for - Critical Updates; #2 system has both - Critical Updates and - Recommended updates - why the difference?
I compared what I thought were the relevant APMs on each system but found no differences; so why no - Critical Updates on #1?
Opened Explorer and \modules\Windows_Seven_x64\Critical was full of files - so that is not missing.
Any guesses as to why it's missing?

NVIDIA 173.14.09 / 177.13 Driver
Posted by
Michael Larabel
on 17 June 2008 09:49 AM EDT
NVIDIA has released the 173.14.09 binary display driver. However, support for the
GeForce GTX 200 series
is not part of the change-log, unfortunately. This driver is just a bug-fix release for the recently released
. Though this driver does have the following fixes: aliased font rendering corruption on X.Org Server 1.5, display corruption problem driving two dual-link DFPs with the Quadro FX 1700, a regression that prevented the X driver from starting on some GeForce FX/6/7 series, and fixing a locale-interaction issue in the nvidia-settings parser. In addition, this release also has preliminary support for the
Linux 2.6.26 kernel
. To download the x86 and x86_64 NVIDIA Linux drivers, click
, respectively.
NVIDIA has released a 177.13 Beta driver, which adds GTX 200 series support. It can be found

Dust Filtration Technology
De-dusting a gaseous current is usually done to purify the gaseous phase of powders which is dragged along for some reason (e.g. controlling dust emissions to limit environmental pollution) or to recover powders intentionally carried along by the gas (e.g. picking up solid materials in pneumatic transport systems).
Different types of devices can be used for collecting the dusts, such as scrubbers, electrostatic separators, centrifugal separators and filtering systems. This document describs the principles underlying filtering systems made up of modular elements which, because of their manufacturing and operating characteristics, provide maximum efficiency in terms of cost/benefits ratio.
Basically, a filtering system comprises an inlet chamber of the gaseous phase to be purified, containing the filtering elements, and a chamber through which the filtered gas passes, housing the cleaning systems for the filtering elements.
Separation mechanisms:
diffusion of particles;
inertial impact of particles;
direct interception of particles;
screening effect.
The retention of solid particles by the filter may occur in two main ways:
1) surface filtration: mainly based on depositing of the collision or screening particles. Reduction of porosity may be caused by:
- retention of very fine particles in the pores;
- formation of a cake of particles on the filter surface.
2) deep filtration: achieved by thicker filtering means, where the particles are forced to follow a longer path, thus increasing the probability of interaction with the fibres, in terms of direct interception or screening effect.
The main properties of filtering means are:
- separation efficiency
- pressure drop
- capacity for accumulating dusts
Generally, the filtering element requires frequent cleaning to guarantee that it remains effective throughout its life.
The cleaning operation may be achieved in different ways:
- by mechanically shaking the filtering element;
- by inverting the flow, e.g. conveying compressed air on the filtering means in counter-current relative to the gaseous current to be purified;
- using reverse pulse jets, which create vibrations in the fabric that cause the particles to be detached.
Replacement of a filtering element is necessary when its separation capacity can no longer be guaranteed (laceration of filtering medium or alteration in its porosity), or when - even after a prolonged cleaning cycle - passage of the gaseous current causes an excessively high pressure drop for working with the nominal flow rate required (blockage of the filtering medium).
Once the characteristics of the gaseous current to be subjected to filtration, in terms of properties of the solid particulate, and solid content, density, viscosity, flow rate, temperature and pressure of the gas stream, are known, it is possible to choose the most suitable filtering medium and configuration - in terms of efficiency, ease of cleaning, space required and economy - for setting up the filtering system.
The materials most commonly used as filtering media are:
The materials used to prepare these filtering media, generally polypropylene and polyester, may be subjected to treatment with PTFE by impregnation or for membrane application, thus obtaining a surface layer that impacts with the product that is extremely smooth and free of supporting points for adhesion.
It is also possible to carry out anti-static treatments to prevent the formation of discharges or sparks due to electrostatic phenomena between the product conveyed and the filter; basically, stainless steel fibres incorporated in the weft of the media are used, to achieve a continuous conductor connected to the entire structure of the purifying filter, suitably earthed.
The configurations that can be adopted to prepare the filtering element are:
Choice of the material and the filtering element configuration, which represent the fulcrum of such systems for dusts collection, is almost always the result of a compromise between economy of the filtering system - in terms of the costs of purchase and machine running - and the filtration efficiency that it can provide.

Baby Boomers: Start turning nursing homes upside down
Psychology Today/New America Media
PROVIDENCE, R.I.--If the generation that grew up with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead and Woodstock is to live out the last chapter of their lives in nursing homes, then there will have to be some changes made.
Whenever I walk into a nursing home, I feel as if I am in a giant fish tank of people. But the fish have it better, they have the freedom to swim about and get some exercise.
Demand Better Care Now
It's time to start now to turn nursing homes upside down. We all have known someone we love in such a facility -- a family member, a neighbor. Their quality of life within the fishbowl of open doors and little privacy is improved with every visit from "the outside."
But from a selfish perspective, boomers should start today to assess nursing homes, lobby for better care and demand responsive physicians, as well as integrated recreation with qualified counselors and activities that stimulate the mind and body.
With health care's entrenched models of convenience for providers, it may take a full 10-20 years before we begin to see nursing homes that any of us would like to consider home.
S. Jay Olshansky, a member of the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Research Network on an Aging Society, pointed out at a recent conference on aging, "As this generation of those ages 55 to 64 move into retirement within the next 10 to 15 years, they are going to experience levels of morbidity, disability and frailty that are higher than the generations that preceded them into retirement" because they will live longer.
Nursing homes are often associated with one's final move. Once there, you stay. But families who are actively involved with the nursing homes where someone they love resides are evaluating care and even changing nursing homes when they identify deficiencies or are dissatisfied with placements made during hasty hospital-discharge planning.
Whether to determine an initial placement or identify a new home for change, making comparisons has been challenging because of how information is presented on state and national web sites.
However, recently a tool was devised that appears on the website of ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization in New York. Called Nursing Home Inspect, the tool lets users easily examine trends at the facilities, according to reporter Charles Ornstein, one of those who spearheaded the project.
Ornstein said, "U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services made the decision to put inspection reports online, but there was no means to quickly compare homes. With our tool people can search through and obtain information that they need. This tool makes available more than 58,000 nursing home inspection reports from the past three years encompassing over 262,500 deficiencies."
Switching Nursing Homes Without Trauma
One concern about changing nursing homes is the perception of transfer trauma. Robert L. Kane, MD, professor and chairman in the Long-Term Care and Aging Department of the University of Minnesota, said that there has been a belief that nursing-home transfers are beleaguered with setbacks.
He explained: "What we know about care in general is that change introduces an opportunity for bad things to happen. You counter this by preparation and engaging the resident in the decision as much as possible.
"Caregivers should recognize the importance of arranging for the information transfer of medical history, medication [http://bit.ly/IB8mra] and behavioral records. The caregiver is the only person who really knows what is going on and the more you can compile the better the chances for success at a new home."
While caregivers may fret with worry, Kane, author of The Good Caregiver: A One-of-a-Kind A One-of-a-Kind Compassionate Resource for Anyone Caring for an Aging Loved One, added, "We do know that humans are incredibly adaptable. However, if a person is happy in a situation that is not good, how do you weigh the benefits against the disruption? And keep in mind that you as 'the weigher' are already biased."
Finding an appropriate nursing home is a challenge. However the facilities we see today will be there unchanged tomorrow unless boomers demand new models of care.
The only way that is going to happen is to get on nursing home boards, volunteer to assist with activities, bring a choral group to engage residents, visit relatives and friends and stay for lunch and dinner. Make a note of everything you dislike in a particular home you visit and address it with the staff. Watch to see signs of depression. Few facilities have a psychiatrist on staff, and check to see about a physician.
'Is a Doctor in the House?'
If there is a physician on staff, he or she may not often be willing to talk to family members. Perhaps this can change.
Writing in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Paul R. Katz, MD, of the University of Rochester, made a compelling argument for a new model of nursing home physician.
"We contend that rather than accepting a diminished presence of physicians in nursing homes and finding alternative care models, it is time to fully consider, appropriately fund and test the nursing home specialist model. If nearly half of the baby boomers spend some time in a nursing home, the question 'Is there a doctor in the house?' will take on new urgency and meaning."

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
YA/New Adult Romance, Published July 2012
Read August 2012, 384 pp.
❤ Team: Noah
Challenges: Debut Author Challenge
Book Blurb:
"I WON'T TELL ANYONE, Echo. I promise."
Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone TOUCHED ME like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins?
His DARK BROWN EYES shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that—did you? It was done to you?"
No one ever asked that question.
They stared.
They whispered.
They laughed.
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.
But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.
This romance is definitely on the borderline of YA and the "New Adult" genre. While the characters are still in high school, the content still seems quite mature for younger YA readers. Echo Emerson has problems. She has survived a very abusive home life and only has a few friends in school. Noah used to be the popular jock, but now has a few secrets of his own. While Noah is portrayed to be the bad boy, he really hasn't done anything wrong, other than defend his younger brothers. I loved the chemistry between the Noah and Echo and how they truly begin to support one another as friends before anything else.
Can't wait to read Noah's friend Beth's story in Dare You To. I have a feeling her story is going to be very interesting!
Luke used to give me butterflies. Noah spawned mutant pterodactyls. (p. 84)

Welcome to WOFS.com - Online Feng Shui Magazine
Me, myself & my SouthWest
We have a saying in Arabic that translates into something like this: "If it was gonna rain, there would have been clouds," and also another one that goes like "the letter is read/understood from its headline," where the bottom line means that it doesn't look like I was meant to get married… not in this life. Hopeless case.
My relationship luck
I was never so lucky in love… My love life was never a successful part of my life. I've always been "single" in a way.
I am not good at all in love relationships. I'm rather a "dude" kinda girl or so I thought! A tom boy. Of 42 years old, still. It was much more fun to be one of the guys. Guys have fun. So instead of messing with them and getting heartaches, I'd rather blend in. It automatically switched the guys off and I became one of them, and get all the laughs.
"But why didn't she marry yet?" with echo. We had many things to blame my celibacy on. That was the real question.
My poor old grandmother died before seeing me as a bride, with the wedding dress… she couldn't wait forever.
During my growing years, my father always insisted on having degrees and higher education, to reach higher positions. He completely forgot to mention marriage or kids, even as a possibility. He only remembered to mention it when I got around 25 years old… I really had no clue that our journey had to include a spouse and kids… My father always drove us to be independent and ambitious, have degrees. A passport in life, he said.
In my 30's, My dad use to tell me that I scared the guys, that I came on too strong with them, that I contradicted them consistently, that I lacked femininity; and also that I was too chubby for guys to look at me. "Your neck is the size of my thigh," he said. That was very encouraging! And mean.
He never said that getting married and having kids was an objective in life!!! Getting a job is an objective, or climbing the Himalayas; one cannot plan it alone!
Before that, in my 20's, one morning, I woke up and found myself alone. In college, with my friends both girls and boys, we never even mentioned that we were going to marry etc. That wasn't the plan! We had so many funky expectations. So what happened? How? When? Why? Did each one plan it alone? When did it become the priority to marry?
"There should be single people, and married people, harmoniously, in balance. Some should have kids, some not!"
They all married one after the other. Just like that. Had kids one after the other. And now each one of them lives in a different world. And me, still single, with a great career ahead of me.
So I kept on evolving with time and age… Alone. I've been on the market for 20 years now… funny and interesting years. I remember them like sequences in my life.
There was the "the travel agency" phase: every time I would date someone, he would get an opportunity for a job outside the country. It became a joke! We even came up with a promotion with air miles to win a trip by dating me! Another one would get an upgrade, or a fridge and washing machine, it was really funny, and I never took it bad. I just accepted it. There was also the BITCH (Babe in Total Control of Herself) chapter when I sold myself on the internet.
I'm 42 and have a rich life with many funny stories but still not marriage.
My shrink says that I have issues with commitment. I would feel like a bird in a cage. I certainly do have issues.
My aunt thinks I was too spoiled, that nothing satisfies me…
My girlfriends still throw flower bouquets at me… hopelessly.
But don't worry too much about me; I've had my share of fun and lots of boyfriends, and the whole scenario. Traffic was always active but relationships were not my strength, and they never lasted long. Having the choice was good.
I always thought that getting married was simply not meant to be for me.
Marriage… I never really saw it happening. Never dreamt about it. Not about the D day. Not the dress. Not the list. Not the prince. Not the horse. Nothing. It was never part of my plans!
Also from a different angle, the probability of finding my soul mate was very little as we, in Lebanon, have 6 girls for 1 single guy. Demographic statistics. I will not compete for a guy with 6 others! (Lebanese girls are hot!)
Coincidence or fate? What I've been "told".
In the Arab world, we get our fortune told through a coffee cup that we drank black thick coffee with, Turkish coffee.
In my 20's, we would check a fortune teller many times per year, just for fun!
Can you believe that none of the fortune tellers I've seen in my whole life (and I've seen many), have ever told me that one day, even in the far future, I will marry?
Not with tarot cards, not with black coffee, cards, or crystal ball. Nothing.
It was always about achievements, communication, travel, and creativity… opportunities and success. Never about love.
My friends would get the love stories, the boyfriends who will come back, the hot adventure and endless romance.
I never got stories…
Don't you think it all means something? They could've lied at least once.
The last time I was "told" something
I was visiting my brother in Singapore, about 2 years ago.
Sitting in the conference room, a Chinese Master was reading our fortune, my brother, his Chinese partner, and me.
The Master couldn't speak English, and Gina, the Chinese partner, was kindly translating for us.
He took my date of birth, and started talking Chinese. He didn't look very happy.
Gina looked at us, and in a very shy manner said that I should not get married!
My brother and I immediately asked to make sure if it was "shouldn't" or "wouldn't" or "will not". We were in shock. Sometimes specific words make a big difference of course!
"Shouldn't" was the answer. He said that I will be miserable and nagging all the time. Better to study, he said.
In a way, I was very happy as I would use it as an excuse for staying free. Like a proof.
Also, what if I wasn't really meant to be? What if it was "maktub"?
"Maktub" In Arabic translates into "written", as in written in destiny.
So why can't we all just admit that it's not "maktub" that I get married? I really don't mind, I swear…
Why can't we look at it as yin and yang? There should be single people, and married people, harmoniously, in balance. Some should have kids, some not! Some will leave kids when they die, thinking they are extending the generation in their families. I say that
it doesn't matter. We can leave a good book, or a piece of art. I'm sure it doesn't matter if Einstein had kids or not. What he left is so valuable forever, kids or no kids! He left the formula. That's his baby.
I recently found a very cute book, full of cartoons and short stories, called "Even God is Single!" It really depends on how you look at things. Very cute.
Feng Shui Investigations
Now forget everything you just read above with the fortune and girly thoughts, and let's get serious.
This is the efficient part.
We all know that SW is the universal direction of love and relationships for all in general. Being Kua One, SW becomes bad and my personal love becomes South according to the Kua formula.
The truth is not that I'm too fat or chubby or too cool. Nobody is stealing my boyfriends, not 1, not 6 other babes, and it's not meant to be.
Since 1986, (beginning of period 7), I've been living in houses where toilets were in the SW.
That's the whole truth! That's the unbelievable coincidence! 3 houses, 3 toilets. 20 years.
One of the first things I read about feng shui was about having a toilet in SW… it was Lillian's first illustrated Feng Shui book. Back then, I knew nothing about cures and remedies, or the cycle of elements. It only said that it was very, very bad. A disaster.
That it meant separation and bad relationships. Like Prince Charles and Diana.
On holidays, I often went back to my parent's house. So I checked my compass, and my toilet was also in SW!
Then 6 years ago I moved to a house in Lebanon, also with a toilet in SW! It wasn't a priority…
Nothing is always perfect I had to compromise.
Can you believe it? Tell me it's just a coincidence. Go ahead!
This is really "maktub"… that's the real answer to the main question.
No wonder my relationships never lasted! It all made sense. But there was still traffic no matter what.
After all, I was a loving person, romantic and "marriage material"!
In that book, Lillian said to paint the toilet door in red, or have a mirror stuck on the door, which I did in 3 different versions. I have to admit that it helped a lot. Now I found a curtain made of fine red thread.
So for all that time I lived at my parents, I saw these nice guys passing by, and heading to be flushed away in the toilet…
It wasn't fate or anything like that! Just architecture!
And Feng Shui beat them all!
Feng Shui Results
Lillian had told us one day not to activate anything if we were not sure. Coz it works.
About 3 years ago, I got lonely. So I activated many formulas at the same time.
So I thought that activating my own love direction according to the Kua formula would help. So I put a double-happiness calligraphy hanger there, and a pair of lovers made of clay in the small South of my living room and my bedroom, as I'm kua 1 and South is
my love direction…
I never really put my weight on activating the SW corner as Lillian said. So I didn't.
Until 3 years ago. I figured out that I could need a boyfriend in my life, and that I didn't really want to die alone after all, regardless of commitment or marriage.
So I used the mirror ritual, placed a 6-rod metal windchime inside the toilets in the SW, and also applied the peach blossom formula by placing a Rooster in the West, being a Monkey.
I also launched many balloons with precise wishes written on them.
And it worked. Fast. And it's been lasting till now!
My shrink thinks that I got rid of most of my fears. Great!
My father is very happy to welcome my "future man". He is constantly praying and waiting for my engagement.
And me, I'm very happy to have a balanced love life for now. Not more.
I'm a Monkey and he's a Snake. Secret friends.
The future looks bright!
I am also, more than ever, convinced with the efficiency of Feng Shui. It works, and it rocks!
So for those with toilets in the SW, don't worry, and don't blame yourself. Just use a cure and open up for love and romance.
P.S.: I am not married yet, but there is someone I "might" marry. A potential future husband. I'll keep you posted.

This issue marks another milestone for Feng Shui World magazine – we complete our 8th year in circulation, and with it we bring you a fresh new look for our cover, symbolizing fresh and exciting new things to come. With this issue we have also taken our magazine truly online, with our iPad and iPhone editions joining our print and digital versions. With these apps, not only can you have our magazine literally at your fingertips, we've also added new and exclusive video and audio content to our magazine. Those of you armed with an iPad or iPhone, do check it out. And rate our app if you love it!
As we complete the Tiger Year and look towards the Rabbit, while common sense may suggest a milder year ahead, the feng shui charts indicate that the Metal heavenly stem will make it more of an Iron Rabbit than a golden one. And the Tiger has not left the scene; he is still very much in the picture, appearing in 2 of the year's four pillars. This is not to say there won't be opportunities for wealth and success. Quite the contrary. In fact, for 10 of the 12 animal signs, 2011 holds out quite outstanding promise BUT against the backdrop of a difficult year.
Lillian Too will be sharing with you exactly what each of you have to do to ensure you make the most of a year that's characterized by clashing elements but at the same time so encouraging in terms of personal good luck. In this year's event, Lillian will be giving out special amulets designed to counter very specific afflictions in the coming year. These amulets will be specially consecrated for their purpose and will be given free to every participant of her Extravaganza events. She visits four locations this coming year starting with Tahiti in December, followed by Malaysia, Singapore and Las Vegas, USA in January. Do not miss this event because it will be bigger than ever before!
This last October, much attention has been showered on the play on numbers: 10.10.10 was deemed very auspicious by some practitioners, while others viewed it with more circumspect. What it definitely was good for was for being born. Babies with a 10th October 2010 birthdate are predicted by the almanacs to lead a life of recognition, power and glorious success. As we approach 2011, we get the same again, but the power of 1 gets even more pronounced. 11th January 2011 just happens to be 11.1.11 and coincidentally (or not) falls on Lillian's birthday. World of Feng Shui have an exciting program planned for the whole month of January to commemorate this event, with special surprises including lots and lots of presents, goodies and free gifts at the Extravaganzas as well as World of Feng Shui boutiques. For more info, watch www.wofs.com and sign up for our newsletter there!
This issue we put the spotlight on all things magic. Lillian Too's inaugural Course on Cosmic White Light Magic (see page 20) saw 28 specially chosen students complete a course on Unleashing the Dragon, delving deeper into the third dimension of feng shui practice. The power of the mind is mind-blowing (pardon the pun) and it seems the consciousness of the world is shifting in this direction. Hollywood's latest offerings feature some great magic at work, with JK Rowling's Harry Potter leading the pack. Inside we compare film magic with real magic, with plenty of suggestions to further whet your appetite.
The other current great force in the world must be Lady Gaga (page 10) who has captured the imagination of literally every age group and every demographic profile there is. While she gets column inches in the media for her exhibitionist tendencies and outrageous dress sense, rip away the trimmings and there's still oodles of seemingly unending talent. When you think you have her sussed, she surprises you with something completely new. She is one of those rare stars who truly deserves her celebrity status; and the more you find out about her, the more there is to admire and to like.
Glorious photography brings to life glorious inspiration. Chris Yeo takes his feng shui and photography lens to Shanghai, bringing back his breathtaking perspective of the fabulous Shanghai Expo 2010, an expo on a grander scale than ever seen in the world before (page 56). Lillian and her Mafia gang meanwhile bring back images of New York in the Fall, with an interview with Amy Miller, an American political activist turned Buddhist-nun who gave everything up to serve her Lama. Dr Nick Ribush is another such story, of a highly qualified professional searching for a higher meaning in life. There's no shortage of inspiration if we only stop to look around and notice. In this issue, we pick some of the best of these to highlight.
Happy Deepavali, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year and have a wonderful read!

- A handbag or small briefcase.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The No. 19 UC San Diego women's water polo began 2013 on a high note coming away with a 16-8 win over Santa Clara University to open play at the UCSB Winter Invitational. The Tritons then dropped a 13-6 decision in the evening match to No. 17 Cal State Northridge.
On the offensive front, junior Sarah Lizotte scored a team high seven goals with nine others adding one or more to the team total. Freshman goalie Courtney Miller tallied 12 saves in eight quarters of play.
Game 1The Tritons where quick to strike, as Lizotte scored just 38 seconds into the game. The tempo slowed for remainder of the first quarter, as matching goals brought the score to 3-2 at the end of the opening eight minutes.
UCSD scored three unanswered goals at the five minute mark as they took a 5-3 advantage in the second, bringing the Tritons to a 8-5 lead over the Broncos at halftime.
The freshman class was represented well in their Triton debut. Julia Kirkland and Alexis Wieseler scored a team high three goals respectively. Lizotte added another three of her own.
The Tritons pressure on the Broncos went the distance, as SCU was scoreless in the fourth quarter, giving UCSD the 16-8 conference win.
Freshman goalkeeper Courtney Miller came up big with ten saves in four quarters of play.
UCSD 3 - 5 - 3 - 5 = 16 SCU 2 - 3 - 4 - 0 = 8UCSD Goals: Alexis Wieseler (3) Julia Kirkland (3) Sarah Lizotte (3) Haley Kunert (2) Rachel Brooks, Melissa Bartow, Emily McPhee, Leah Gonzales, Jolene Guiliana
Santa Clara Goals: Alison Norris (2) Kaitlin Murphy (2) Erin Sheridan, Julia Peters, Claire Eadington, Laura Burtness
UCSD Saves: Courtney Miller (10) Santa Clara Saves: June Afshar (10)
Game 2UCSD kept a close match at the end of the first as they sat at a 2-3 deficit. The Tritons where unable to keep up in the fast pace the Matadors kept in the second half, with eight of their 13 goals coming in the third and fourth quarters.
Lizotte scored four of UCSD's goals while Bartow and Kistler added one apiece.
CSU Northridge's defense and goalie Natalie Averell held the Tritons to scoring just one of eight extra man goal opportunities. The Matadors scored three goals from 6-on-5 plays.
UCSD 2 - 0 - 3 - 1 = 6 CSUN 3 - 2 - 4 - 4 = 13UCSD Goals: Sarah Lizotte (4) Melissa Bartow, Laurel Kistler CSUN Goals: Marisa Young (3) Jenny Jamison (3) Kelcie Ferreira (2) Lindsey Nelson, Molly Henehan, Katie Kammer, Melissa Doll, Taitum Herrington

Conditions of Use
What is Elastic Force?
Elastic force is a force (duh) that is created by an object that has changed shape but tries to go back to its old form. The best example of this is a rubber band, but it happens in other opbjects such as some springs, and others. For instance if you were trying to mave a cart with a rubber band there are two options you have. 1 to tie the rubber band to the cart and pull it (this way does use elastic force but not much) 2, to make a slingshot out of the rubber band and launch it (this way uses a lot of elastic force but cannot direct it much).
What is gravity?
gravity is a force that acts on objects to pull it twards large objects of mass, such as the moon, the sun, the eath, etc. it is what makes you have weight (the difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of stuff in an object and weight is how much gravity pulls it down.)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
After I make something new, it usually shows up here within a week or two (assuming it's blogworthy, of course). But I have to confess I've been sitting on this one for a while. To be clear, the delay had everything to do with how little I liked the photos, and nothing to do with how ridiculously delicious and addictive this dip was. I actually made it for the Super Bowl, along with a batch of brownies that I absolutely loved but neglected to photograph. Super Bowl weekend wound up being a busy one for me, and I was short on time. I'd volunteered to make desserts for the party though and wanted to bring more than just brownies. Enter this chocolate chip cookie dough dip - it takes all of about 5 or 10 minutes to throw together, I had the ingredients on hand, and hello, brownies and cookie dough are just meant to be together (Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked, anyone?).
As soon as I'd finished mixing this up, Shane was by my side offering to sample it - for quality control purposes of course :) I was kind of surprised since he doesn't like cream cheese and he'd seen me throw an entire block in, but I think he's slowly coming around on the idea of cream cheese IN things (though never alone, say spread on a bagel). He loved the dip, and so did I. It was a good thing I only finished it 15 minutes before we left the house, or I'm not sure how much would have made it to the party. Pretzels were the dipping item of choice for me, in keeping with my love of the salty/sweet combo. I also did this, which was as good and insanely rich as you might imagine.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
barely adapted from How Sweet It Is
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling
Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and whisk until dissolved. Once the mixture starts to bubble, stir in the vanilla extract then remove from the heat and let cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar on medium speed for 1 minute, or until well combined and smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the brown sugar/butter mixture, beating until combined. Add the salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix in the mini chocolate chips.
Transfer the dip to your serving bowl and garnish with additional mini chocolate chips. Serve with pretzels and graham crackers (or whatever you like!).

I have seen chocolate chip cookie dough dip all around the blog world and I'm kind of on the fence about it. I'm not a dip person. I choose to either eat chips or whatever plain or with ketchup , but now that I see this can go on a brownie I may just have to make this AND brownies :)

jury duty
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The obligation to serve on a jury. In most states, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees who are called for jury duty -- that is, they cannot demote or fire an employee for serving. And a few states require that the employer continue to pay the absent employee.

A GIBA engineering meeting will also be held in the meantime, on Wednesday, April 18 at 2 p.m. in the Boca Grande Community Center Auditorium.
According to Jim Cooper, GIBA's executive director, this will be the first engineering meeting with Peter Strong as the new chairman and Tim Yonker as a new board member. Plans for that meeting include going over the bridge design and development report, and discussing the rules that the bridges are being built under.
"We're not quite to 30 percent of the design, but almost," Cooper said. "This will be the first set of design plans to show what it will look like, and Hardesty and Hanover will be there to present some sort of updated cost estimate on the swing bridge.
"They have talked to some local marine contractors and have obtained some pricing."
After hearing all of the information, the engineering committee is expected to make a recommendation to pass along to the board at the April 25 meeting. Until the board approves the recommendation, there will be no progress on the design plan.
At the April 25 meeting Jonathan Hart from Wilbur Smith will give a presentation comparing the two traffic studies that have been done on the causeway within the last few months.
As far as the public opinion survey, Cooper said no results have been tabulated yet. He said that only registered voters got the surveys in the mail, and the "drop dead" date to have the surveys back to the authority is Monday, April 16.
