Slovakia, landlocked country of central Europe. It is roughly coextensive with the historic region of Slovakia, the easternmost of the two territories that from 1918 to 1992 constituted Czechoslovakia.
The short history of independent Slovakia is one of a desire to move from mere autonomy within the Czechoslovak federation to sovereignty—a history of resistance to being called "the nation after the hyphen." Although World War II thwarted the Slovaks' first vote for independence in 1939, sovereignty was finally realized on Jan. 1, 1993, slightly more than three years after the Velvet Revolution—the collapse of the communist regime that had controlled Czechoslovakia since 1948.
Of course, the history of the Slovak nation began long before the creation of Czechoslovakia and even before the emergence of Slovak as a distinct literary language in the 19th century. From the 11th century, Hungary ruled what is now Slovakia, and the Slovaks' ancestors were identified as inhabitants of Upper Hungary, or simply "the Highlands," rather than by their Slavic language. Despite the Hungarians' drive to Magyarize the multiethnic population of their kingdom, by the 19th century the Slovaks had created a heavily mythologized identity, linking themselves with the 9th-century Slavic kingdom of Great Moravia. Because they lacked a national dynasty, patron saints, and a native aristocracy or bourgeoisie, their national hero became the 18th-century outlaw Jánošík, sometimes called the Slovak Robin Hood.
Only in 1918, when World War I ended with Austria-Hungary on the losing side, did Slovakia materialize as a geopolitical unit—but within the new country of Czechoslovakia. Although a critical stocktaking of the Czech-Slovak relationship shows more discord than harmony, there was one splendid moment when the two nations stood firmly together. This was in the summer of 1968, when the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia and crushed the Prague Spring, the period during which a series of reforms were implemented by Communist Party leader Alexander Dubček, arguably the best-known Slovak in the world.
Today Slovakia has become increasingly infiltrated by modern industrial infrastructure, but it still offers breathtaking views of wine-growing valleys, picturesque castles, and historical cities. Its capital, Bratislava, eccentrically located in the extreme southwest of the country, has been known by several different names—Pozsony in Hungarian, Pressburg in German, and Prešporok in Slovak—and for three centuries served as the capital of Hungary. In Košice, the second-largest Slovak city, there is an interesting symbiosis between its distinguished history and the harsh recent past: medieval streets run through the city centre, while the former East Slovakian Iron and Steel Works stands as a monument of communist industrialization. More-authentic Slovak culture survives in the cities of the central highlands and in the country's many villages.
Slovakia is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, and Austria to the southwest. Its former federal partner, the Czech Republic, lies to the west.
The Western Carpathian Mountains dominate the topography of Slovakia. They consist of a system of three regions of east-west-trending ranges—Outer, Central, and Inner—separated by valleys and intermontane basins. Two large lowland areas north of the Hungarian border, the Little Alfold (called the Podunajská, or Danubian, Lowland in Slovakia) in the southwest and the Eastern Slovakian Lowland in the east, constitute the Slovakian portion of the Inner Carpathian Depressions region.
The Outer Western Carpathians to the north extend into the eastern Czech Republic and southern Poland and contain the Little Carpathian (Slovak: Malé Karpaty), Javorníky, and Beskid mountains. Located roughly in the middle of the country, the Central Western Carpathians include Slovakia's highest ranges: the High Tatra (Vysoké Tatry) Mountains, containing the highest point in the republic, Gerlachovský Peak, at 8,711 feet (2,655 metres); and, to the south of them, the Low Tatra (Nízke Tatry) Mountains, which reach elevations of about 6,500 feet (2,000 metres) (see Tatra Mountains). Farther to the south are the Inner Western Carpathian Mountains, which extend into Hungary and contain the economically important Slovak Ore (Slovenské Rudohorie) Mountains.
Slovakia drains predominantly southward into the Danube (Dunaj) River system. The Danube and another major river, the Morava, form the republic's southwestern border. The principal rivers draining the mountains include the Váh, Hron, Hornád, and Bodrog, all flowing south, and the Poprad, draining northward. Flows vary seasonally from the torrents of spring snowmelt to late-summer lows. Mountain lakes and mineral and thermal springs are numerous.
Slovakia contains a striking variety of soil types. The country's richest soils, the black chernozems, occur in the southwest, although the alluvial deposit known as Great Rye Island occupies the core of the Slovakian Danube basin. The upper reaches of the southern river valleys are covered with brown forest soils, while podzols dominate the central and northern areas of middle elevation. Stony mountain soils cover the highest regions.
Slovakia's easterly position gives it a more continental climate than that of the Czech Republic. Its mountainous terrain is another determining factor. The mean annual temperature drops to about 25 °F (−4 °C) in the High Tatras and rises to just above 50 °F (10 °C) in the Danubian lowlands. Average July temperatures exceed 68 °F (20 °C) in the Danubian lowlands, and average January temperatures can be as low as 23 °F (−5 °C) in mountain basins. The growing season is about 200 days in the south and less than half of that in the mountains. Annual precipitation ranges from about 22 inches (570 mm) in the Danubian plains to more than 43 inches (1,100 mm) in windward mountain valleys. Maximum precipitation falls in July, while the minimum is in January. Snow remains on the higher peaks into the summer months.
Plant and animal life
Although Slovakia is a small country, its varied topography supports a wide variety of vegetation. Agriculture and timber cutting have diminished the republic's original forest cover, but approximately two-fifths of its area is still forested. Forestland is most extensive in the mountainous districts. The forests in the western Beskid Mountains on the Czech-Slovak border and those in central Slovakia near Žiar nad Hronom are among the most endangered. The major forest types include the oak-grove assemblages of the Podunajská Lowland, the beech forests of the lower elevations of the Carpathians, and the spruce forests of the middle and upper slopes. The highest elevations support taiga and tundra vegetation. The timberline runs at about 5,000 feet (1,500 metres). At these upper elevations, particularly in the Tatras, the tree cover below the timberline consists largely of dwarf pine. At about 7,500 feet (2,300 metres), alpine grasses and low-growing shrubs give way to lichens.
Slovakia's wildlife is abundant and diverse; Tatry (High Tatras) National Park shelters an exceptional collection of wild animals, including bears, wolves, lynx, wildcats, marmots, otters, martens, and minks. Hunting is prohibited in the parks, and some animals, such as the chamois, are protected nationwide. The forests and lowland areas support numerous game birds, such as partridges, pheasants, wild geese, and ducks. Raptors, storks, and other large birds are protected.
Ethnic groups
More than four-fifths of Slovakia's population are ethnic Slovaks. Hungarians, concentrated in the southern border districts, form the largest minority, making up about one-tenth of the republic's population. Small numbers of Czechs, Germans, and Poles live throughout the country, while Ruthenians (Rusyns) are concentrated in the east and northeast. There is a sizable and relatively mobile population of Roma (Gypsies), who live mainly in the eastern part of the country.
Although the majority of the population identifies Slovak as its mother tongue, a law that came into effect on January 1, 1996, establishing Slovak as the country's official language was controversial primarily because of its impact on Slovakia's Hungarian minority. Widespread fluency in Czech is a legacy of the period of federation. As members of the West Slavic language group, Slovak and Czech are closely related and mutually intelligible; both use the Roman rather than the Cyrillic alphabet. In addition to Hungarian, Polish, German, Ukrainian, Rusyn (related to Ukrainian), and Romany are among the other languages spoken in Slovakia. Croatian speakers, living in a small number of villages in western Slovakia, make up a tiny linguistic minority.

Sonny and Connie discuss starting anew, Rafe and Molly try to communicate with the dead, and Alexis remembers meeting Sam's father.
At Sonny's, Olivia's certain Sonny and Kate are meant to be. Olivia leaves and doesn't want anyone fussing over her. Connie thinks she's missing something when Olivia snaps at her before leaving. Alone, Sonny does not want to risk Connie having another relapse and wants to know where they should start. She begins by asking if there is any unfinished business between him and Olivia. Sonny denies anything would have happened between them since they both love Connie. She remembers how he suffered waiting for her during recovery and wants to make things right. They kiss and remember how they've missed each other. He promises they'll take things slow.
Maxie arrives at the Falconeri's with important news but has a hard time getting the words out. Lulu wants Maxie to just to say it. They are interrupted when Olivia shows up looking for a place to stay. She announces Sonny and Connie are back together and bursts into tears. She denies anything is going on romantically between her and Sonny but they've been getting closer. Maxie thinks what happened is her fault but Olivia won't let her take the blame and praises the person carrying her grand baby daughter. Lulu reminds Maxie she came to tell them something. Maxie decides to invite the couple to Lamaze class.
Spinelli wanders around an art gallery spiffed-up in a white suit pretending to be a buyer named Millhouse. Ava's not available but her assistant, Simone Joseph, offers to help. She suggests his client contact Ava to purchase art when he starts to ask personal questions about Franco and Ava. When asked he tells her his client is Dr. Silas Clay. He insinuates they both know something about Ava and Silas and tries to learn more. Simone's surprised he knows anything about the horrible thing that happened. When neither of them can be more specific with details about what they know, Simone calls him on it and threatens to call the police.
At GH, Ava jokes that she and Silas should stop meeting like this. He wants her to stop skulking around his workplace. She shatters his illusion that she is there because of him and admits she's visiting Franco. Ava's surprised he's heard of Franco. Silas confesses hearing about him from a mental patient. He knows about how he tortured the mother of one of his patients. Ava asks when he became interested in mothers of his patients and he inquires when she became interested in crazy artists. He knows she's lying when she claims it is related to business. She grabs his arm when he attempts to enter Franco's room and he wants to know why. She wonders why he cares when he can't even talk about the two of them. He threatens she'll regret it if they go there. Alone, she receives a call from Simone about someone asking questions about her and Dr. Clay. In the exam room, Alexis goes over all the recent donor candidates. Sam is interested in the one person who is not on the list, her father. She realizes this is hard for Alexis but thinks it's time she knows who her father is. Perhaps he or another unknown family member of his could help Danny. Alexis is moved by her plea and decides to tell her. She shares how difficult boarding school was and tells about the night she met Sam's father, a boy from a private school. She remembers the boy with the messy hair and leather jacket who took her for a walk after a drink. He warmed her up in the backseat of his car and she lost her virginity. The next thing she remembers is being pregnant and her family telling her to give her baby up for adoption. Sam asks who her father is. Alexis breaks down crying. She doesn't know, that is why she never told Sam.
At home, Molly and Rafe discuss Sam's predicament and how none of them knew her father. He confesses about trying to talk to his father using an Ouija board when he was a kid. His mom was worried he'd learn the truth and stopped him. Molly pulls out their Ouija board and asks if he'd like to try again. They are not alone and Rafe receives the message, 'I love you,' from his father. Rafe admits he loves him too. Molly decides she wants to ask a question too, and inquires if he knows who Sam's father is. The answer 'Yes' comes back. She asks who and only the letter 'J' is pointed out to them.

I watched the Grammys a few weeks ago, not because I was anxious see all my favorite performers, rather to see which no-talent piles of mucus would be treated as if they had performed an opus that would stand the test of time. They were in abundance, the no-talent piles of mucus, that is.
Apparently, the voters who award the Grammys are a tone-death, oatmeal-for-brains, creativity-hating bunch of money-changers who look at one thing – sales. Real talent does get nominated at times, but 99.99 percent of the time, the most inane, common, piece of garbage wins. Now, you may say, "Dear sir, could you please present some samples of the Grammys' shortcomings?" And I would say, "You bet your Stratocaster I can!" Sorry, for yelling.
Okay, let's look at the biggest winners in Grammy history. The top dog, the big cheese, the wunderkind of the wand is Sir Georg Solti, who won 31 of the buggers. Now, Georg won all his for classical music, which I appreciate once every six years. It's a personal rule. So, forget the classical music category because homey don't play that game.
High on the list of all-time Grammy winners are U2 with 22 awards, Kanye West with 21, and Jay Z and Beyonce' with 17 apiece. Then we have newcomers like John Legend who has won nine Grammys since 2005 and Taylor Swift who has won seven since 2009. Incredible. Swift writes a song about dropping ice cream on her favorite dress and the Grammys bestow an award on her, while Beyonce' wins, I can only assume, because she's attractive and is willing to show off her best assets. Those assets are not talent, by the way.
The Grammys have chosen to honor deserving talent, after all Stevie Wonder has won 22 awards, Bruce Springsteen has won 20, Aretha Franklin has won 18, Eric Clapton and Ray Charles 17 each and B.B. King has won 15. These totals may sound good, but there are misleading. Did Clapton, as leader of Derek and the Dominos, win for "Layla" in 1972? No, he won for "Tears in Heaven" in 1990. And how about the three great bands -The Yardbirds, Cream and Blind Faith – that are part of Clapton's legacy? Did they win any Grammys? No. Quick quiz, what two other guitar greats played with The Yardbirds?
On to Springsteen, whose 1975 release "Born to Run" is one of the greatest albums in the history of rock music. "Born to Run," "Thunder Road" and "Jungleland" are tributes to not only great music but great lyrics. In 1982, Springsteen released "Nebraska," a dark album that deals with the challenges of ordinary, blue collar people facing difficult times. Although some of his previous albums had offered some salvation, there is none in "Nebraska," which is a bleak, but beautifully written masterpiece. Of course, Springsteen didn't win a Grammy until 1984.
Before I unleash my final tirade, let me just give you a short list of groups who have never won a Grammy – Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Animals, The Band, The Kinks, The Doors, The Byrds and Queen. Yet, Michael Bolton has won two and Madonna seven. Methinks bozos abound.
Now, I don't have time to list every injustice inflicted by the Grammy people, so I'll just turn to the three that really, really get me steamed. Neil Young and The Rolling Stones have each won … get ready for it, one Grammy apiece. Young won in 2010 and The Stones in 1995.
Young is a brilliant songwriter; weaving imaginary with intelligent lyrics on the personal side of life as well as justified criticism of our government's shortcomings over almost 50 years. Although Young's lyrics are the bedrock for his status as one of rock's greatest, he can blow the roof off when he wants to. I put Young and Springsteen neck-and-neck as music's second-best lyricist. You shouldn't even have to ask who number one is.
What can I say about The Stones, "The World's Greatest Rock n' Roll Band?" The Stones put together a run of excellence from 1968 to 1972 with "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed," "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main St." which will never be matched. Although there have been a few misses during The Stones' 50-year run, they still sell out arenas, still out-rock 20 year olds and still influence legions of young musicians to aspire to be the best. No rocker has ever matched the stage presence of Mick Jagger and no guitar player can out-riff Keith Richards. The Glimmer Twins turn 70 this year, but considering Jagger's penchant for staying in shape and Richards' apparently immunity to all drugs and diseases, they could be rockin' for another 20 years. Hell, they might even win a second Grammy.
Despite receiving eight Grammys, my all-time favorite performer has been shortchanged. Bob Dylan, who is without a doubt the greatest lyricist who has ever penned a song, has changed music more than any other artist, starting with his protest music of the 1960s. He has since explored virtually every type of musical genre during his five-decade career. The Grammys finally gave Dylan his first award in 1979 for "Gotta Serve Somebody." It took 15 years for him to get another one. However, during a time when Dylan's music was changing a nation, enlightening the minds of young people and bringing to light the malfeasance of our government, the Grammys ignored him. No Grammy for "Blowin' In the Wind," no Grammy for "Masters of War," no Grammy for "The Times They Are a-Changin," no Grammy for "Like A Rolling Stone," no Grammy for "Desolation Row." As far as I'm concerned, Dylan should have at least 50 Grammys by now.
Now, I know some younger readers may think I'm an old fart who never listens to any music that doesn't fit into the classic rock category. True, most of my listening and viewing pressure comes from that era. But I also enjoy hearing new groups who show the creativity that most music today lacks. Old Crow Medicine Show, The Lumineers, Alabama Shakes and a genious named Jack White are all outstanding. And there's nary a 40-year-old, much less a 60-year-old, among them. I have yet to see Alabama Shakes, but I have seen the other two in concert, and they are worth it. In fact, The Lumineers and Alabama Shakes were each nominated for an award in the recent Grammys. They didn't win, but, who knows, in another 20 years the Grammys might finally recognize their talent.

A Tribute to Charlie Trotter From Wine Importer Terry Theise
I must say, I have never seen a restaurant that respected wine more than Charlie Trotter's. Many times I experienced the now-legendary adaptations of dishes to the wine on the table. Once I asked Charlie, "Did you really change that dish because I'd ordered (X) wine?" He said, "Of course I did; we do it all the time. What's in the bottle can't be changed, but I can tweak a dish to make the match work perfectly." More

I did it: I've Published Five Novels in Three Months! Here is #5
27 comments:
Congratulations! Wow, it took me five years just to write two novels.ReplyDelete
That's an amazing accomplishment and an inspiration! You must have had a super busy year (sounds like next year, too). Well done!ReplyDelete
Way to go Anne! Much success!ReplyDelete
I agree. Great cover! Kudos to you for plowing ahead,despite the gales confronting all writers in today's publishing world.ReplyDelete
Good for you! How exciting!ReplyDelete
What? More shoes? *giggles* (I've been spending to much time reading MWi haven't I?) Anyway...ReplyDelete
CONGRATULATIONS! That's so super.
5 books, one year... wow. My mind boggles.
:} Cathryn
Congratulations! What an accomplishment; makes me dizzy.ReplyDelete
Donna V.
I feel like such a slug.ReplyDelete
Congratulations. I can write 160,000 words a year and edit two books in that time, but not five. yikes. i feel like a slug.ReplyDelete
Wow. Congratulations. I can write plenty, I just can't turn them into things other people can read :-)ReplyDelete
You really are an inspiration.
Thanks everybody. Nobody should feel like a slug. Two of the books are re-edited relaunches of my OOP UK books and three are "new" in that I wrote one a year over the last three years. But getting them edited and launched did kind of take over my life. You do not want to see what my house looks like. My visiting relative just wrote "clean me" in the dust on my dresser top. It's sad...ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your newest book (Five in a year? Wow!). I'll definitely have to pick it up.ReplyDelete
1980's New York eh? Let's just hope that Camilla Randall doesn't run into Patrick Bateman.
First, congratulations on number five. The Best Revenge is awesomely intriguing. I'd love to read it.ReplyDelete
You rock! congratulations - youre inspiring me ( and helping to give me the kick in the butt I needed to get moving with this darn second novel...aaaargh)ReplyDelete
What a productive writing year, well done. I always enjoy your blog and learn a great deal from it. Thank you
Congratulations Anne! I'm so very happy for you.ReplyDelete
Funny my house looks the exact same way and I'm not even at the editing stage yet.
You've been on fire! Your latest sounds really intriguing. It took me five years to write one novel!ReplyDelete
Fabulous synopsis.ReplyDelete
Five novels in three months! Even though only three of them are new, that's incredible! You must tell me your secret!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Anne! I know how exhausted you must be, because I'm doing a similar type speed marathon with a mix of books -- the out-of-print, the older finished books lurking on the hard drive needing revamps, and a couple new.ReplyDelete
Wishing you a happy 2012 with many sales. You know I luv rom-com mystery and The Best Revenge looks like juicy fun!
Wow, that's amazing! :) May 2012 shine even brighter for you! :)ReplyDelete
Andrew--LOL. Luckily Camilla and Plantagenet escaped NYC in the early 80s, before American Psycho.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, everybody. You're right about the exhaustion part. Especially after a week of travel on top of it. Finally I'm back home, and all I want is to curl up with my new Kindle and read other people's books for a good long while.
Doesn't it feel wonderful to have your work out there?
Kudos for your perseverance.
That is so amazing... huge congrats... Here's to you making lots of sales:)ReplyDelete
Now that's a whole lotta editing!ReplyDelete
Sounds like a great read. It just went to my TBR list.ReplyDelete
Thanks, all. I see BR is getting some nice sales, so Joanie and all the rest of you who bought it--thanks so much. I hope you're enjoying it!ReplyDelete
Happy New Year!
That is an awesome achievement! Good job. :D You inspire me.ReplyDelete

This cool weather really has our local oysters tasting good, and the soil temperature indicates that it is just about time to apply preemergent products to your beds and turf.
I know many of you are used to waiting for Valentine's Day (a great present by the way if you like living with the dog in the dog house) or the running of the Daytona 500 to apply the magical weed preventer, and this year is shaping up to be no different.
Depending on which Phd doctor you believe, crabgrass germinates when the soil temperature (three inches deep) stays above 55 degrees (some people say 57 degrees), for three straight days provided adequate moisture in the soil.
Now some doctors say remains 57 degrees or above for 24 hours at a depth of three inches with adequate moisture.
If you are not in to monitoring the soil temperature, Valentine's Day or the running of the Daytona 500 should work for you.
The turf areas as well as the landscape bed areas will greatly benefit from the use of preemerge products.
Not only will the yard look better, but your plants will not have to compete with the weeds for sun, nutrients, and water. If you are controlling weeds with preemergent products, there are less weeds there for you to spray or pull, saving you time.
There is also less stress on you trying to find time to control the weeds in your yard (example "Honey, [Johnny or Jane] and I are going [turkey hunting, spot tail fishing, golfing, to watch March Madness and eat chicken wings {Jane shopping}]."
Spouse reply, "ok sweetie, have you sprayed the weeds in the front yard like you said you were going to do last week?")
Kill them now with a preemergent control product.
For those new readers of the Horticulture Hotline, preemergent control products kill weeds as they germinate. The weeds never come up and you never have to worry about them.
Crabgrass, goosegrass, barnyardgrass, crowfootgrass, dallisgrass (seedling), foxtail, annual bluegrass, smutgrass, barley, kikuyugrass, wild oats, bittercress, carpetweed, chickweed, Carolina geranium, henbit, knotweed, lespedeza, marestail, black medic, mustard, oxalis, pineappleweed, pigweed, redroot, parsley-piert, purslane, rocket, shephardspurse, speedwell, spurge, and woodsorrel are examples of weeds controlled by preemergent products.
Small seeded annual weeds are controlled by preemergent products.
Read the label of the specific product that you are using to get an exact list of weeds that the manufacturer has tested and shown to control.
Preemergent products applied now do not control winter annual weeds that are already up like annual blue grass.
To control annual bluegrass, you would have used a preemergent in August.
Clover, Florida Betony, Nutsedge and Dollar weed are not controlled by preemergent control products. These are perennial weeds. Weed Free Zone is a liquid that will do a good job on controlling many of your broadleaf weeds.
The Nutsedge will require a different product and is most likely not visible right now. It is important to control these weeds now before they go into their reproductive stage. A weed in its reproductive stage is harder to control than a weed in its vegetative stage. By killing the weed now you avoid having to deal with more weed seeds next year.
It is very noticeable when you ride through the Lowcountry which homeowners and which businesses used preemergent products last fall at the correct time. One business or home lawn will be nice and brown and dormant with-out a spec of green in sight.
Right next to it will be brown turf mixed with green weeds. Again, it is very important to control those weeds now before they begin to flower.
If you want to control the Sweetgum balls, now is the time to arrange that treatment.
An arborist can inject Snipper now and the balls will not develop into the nuisance in the landscape that they would otherwise. Call right away as this is a timing issue as well.
Always read, understand and follow product label.

Whether it's an audience of one or 10,000 screaming fans at a stadium show, Orange Amplifiers never fail to deliver a stellar performance. With their distinctive sound and globally-recognized bright orange coverings, these amplifiers set the stage when it comes to producing your signature musical sound. The brain-child of musician and electronics designer Clifford Copper of London, England, Orange was first opened as a basement recording studio in 1968. It evolved into a music shop where Cooper dealt specifically in second hand equipment. As the first store in the area to specialize in this type of equipment, the demand outgrew the supply and Cooper decided to design his own amplifier, and in the fall of the same year, the first Orange branded amplifiers were produced.
Today, this brand of equipment stretches far beyond electric guitar amps. The company has grown to include amplifiers for bass guitar, speaker cabinets for amps, combo amps, cable and even graphic tees and hats. There is no mistaking a piece of Orange equipment. If you're in the market for an amp, you'll know an Orange product the second you set sight on it thanks to its bright Tolex covering, woven speaker grille and the signature picture frame edging.

I don't know if John is happy to divulge the info on sales to us but it would be interesting to know how the re-shaping of the magazine has gone down? I have bought a copy for the last few months simply on the back of change of direction and much improved content. I hope a few more have done the same.

text: MAC Lovecloud Blush ($21.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "bright mid-tone pink." It's a light-medium, subtly cool-toned pink with a satiny sheen. This is a pink that leans blue, but it doesn't pull so blue that it is difficult for warmer complexions to wear. The pigmentation was excellent–very true-to-pan color that was easy to achieve without having to pack it on. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and smooth. This shade wore just over seven and a half hours on me before starting to fade. Make Up For Ever #210 (P, $26.00) is warmer, cream product. Urban Decay Blush (P) is darker, more matte. Tarte Flush (P, $26.00) is slightly darker. NARS New Attitude (LE, $29.00) is darker, matte, warmer. Givenchy It-Girl Purple (P, $44.00) is more matte. Tarte Dollface (P, $26.00) is a little more matte. MAC Pure Femininity (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned. theBalm Down Boy (P, $21.00) is more matte. MAC Well Dressed (P, $21.00) is lighter.

A.J. Croce shares story behind 'Twelve Tales'Written by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
It started as a wish list. A.J. Croce jotted down the names of producers he wanted to work with, and it turned into a yearlong adventure across the country.
"The first thought was 12 [producers]; it was absolutely impractical. And then I thought it was cooler to do six because each producer would have basically a 45, a side A and a side B. They would choose which songs they liked, and we would go from there," the singer-songwriter said.
"Cowboy [Jack Clement] was the first to sign on, and that really gave some name recognition for all the producers who wanted to be involved."
Croce traveled to Nashville to work with Clement, the mastermind behind many legendary Sun Studio records. It was one of the producer's last sessions before he died last year.
"Cowboy was ill when we were working together, and he was 81 years old. That being said, he was pretty engaged in the choosing of the songs," Croce said during a call from his San Diego home.
"The formula for him — and a lot of classic producers — was pick a great song and think of the right players to play it, and then just record it until you have a good pass, and then you've got it. That's what he did with all of the Sun Records stuff, Jerry Lee [Lewis] and Elvis, Carl Perkins and, of course, with Johnny Cash, who he worked with for so long.
"And every one of the producers, all from different eras, different genres, they were all of at that mind set: Get a great live recording of the song and picking the right song that they felt they could really identify with," he said.
Clement and the other producers — Allen Toussaint, Greg Cohen, Kevin Killen, Mitchell Froom and Tony Berg — listened to Croce's demos and selected their tracks for "Twelve Tales," which was released in January.
New Orleans icon Toussaint chose "Rollin' On," a jaunty song Croce co-wrote with Leon Russell.
"I wanted to write something really in [Russell's] style. I wrote the chorus, 'Rollin' on,' there's nothing to it, and it was such a sing-along chorus; it was a fun one. [Russell] got it and about an hour later, I got eight verses back and just pared it down in the studio when I was working with Allen," Croce recalled.
"It was great to work with both those guys on that and a little daunting to be the piano player because they're both so great."
The son of Jim Croce is modest; he has a reputation for rollicking boogie-woogie key work. Songwriting must run in the family.
"I grew up listening to [my dad's music]. When I was a little kid, he was playing when I was home. And then when he died, you know, it was on the radio all the time," the 42-year-old said.
"I think those three records that he made in a lot of ways remind me of Buddy Holly in that there's hardly anything bad on those records; they're really good, like every song is really good. And it's just three records, but for so few songs and a two-year career, he fit a lot in."
Croce will play at 8 p.m. Aug. 4 at the Ark in Ann Arbor. Tickets are $20. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

It's been a few weeks, but the half is back!
My sponsored child is my hero . . .
It's been a few weeks, but the half is back!
My sponsored child is my hero . . .
My sponsored child is my hero.
Gabriel is 7 ½ years old. I've only been sponsoring him since August. I haven't met him. I've only received one letter from him. He likely won't understand this at his age, but he's been the catalyst for my eyes opening to the situation of millions of children around the world. Not only that, but I'm more alert to the work that my cousin is doing in a city near where Gabriel lives.
I've gone on compassion.com on a nearly daily basis—sometimes several times a day—to learn all I can about what Compassion does to help release children from poverty. By learning about poverty, hunger, and the different ministries of Compassion in the different countries and child development centers around the world, I have an increasing desire to share what I'm learning with others. I've begun the process for being trained as an Advocate.
I'm also looking at the world in a different way. When I go to Walmart, I think about how much we have access to; how today's children as a generation don't understand the concept of having to wait for things. We live in a materialistic world, one of instant gratification.
While I won't change the culture of 21st century America, I can change my outlook on things and talk to those around me. I can't change the world, nor can I sponsor every child, but I can change the world for one child, and I can be an advocate for the others.
because he has endured great hardship, such as the loss of his home and all possessions, but he keeps a positive outlook.
God has used my sponsored children to make me realize I need to live more simply so that I have more to share with them and with others who really need it. My family recently got rid of our TiVo, turned our heat down, and turned our water heater down a little so that we will save that money for something much more important. Here in America we have so much and these kids in various countries don't. We can live more simply so that others can simply live.
…because they remind me that God is greater than any obstacle.
One child that I'm really impressed with is Shedenka. Shedenka is 9 years old, but I think she has the gift of encouragement. She gets my letters and then there are other children in her project, who don't get letters, so she encourages them by telling them that their sponsor might be really tired and has to work very hard and will probably write really soon and then the children feel better. She also really believes that what she prays for will happen. She told me that she loves to get a certain Bible and she is praying for it and she believes that she's going to get it. Of course then I bought it for her. But when you see her, she is so happy and has such a sweet smile. She's truly so outgoing and loves the other children.
If you want to see a picture of her, check here:
That's her when she got an autographed picture of Hunter Gomez. Now, she is also part of Hunter Gomez' website (www.huntergomez.com) and Corgi's website (www.aboutcorgi.com)
She loves my little dog, Corgi. She asks me to scratch Corgi on the head and then at the end of the letter, she tells me: "Now, don't forget, scratch Corgi on the head for me." She also draws him on her letters many times.
My sponsored children are my heroes because they remind me of what's actually important in life.
My sponsored child is my hero… because despite the environment she lives in, she said something in one of her letters that I will never forget; (I'm sure other sponsors have heard this too, but it is so True isn't it.)
she said in her letter, "I'm ok because you always remember me in your prayers." That just lets me know even more that she knows someone cares about her, and most of all that God is concerned about her.
Merry Christmas everyone
My sponsored child, Vanessa, who is a fourteen year old girl in El Salvador is my hero because in one of her letters she said "I only have two friends because the others don't like it when I talk about God." Yet she still praises God and continues to talk about him. Wow.
My sponsored child, Shamim. During my first year of sponsorship, when she was about 11 years old, she lost most of hearing. But in every letter she's always praising God, talking about her friends and teachers, and telling me what she's learning about God. She taught me so much about God's sovereignty as she was going through many doctors appointments for her ears and nothing really helped. She told me that when God wants her to hear, she will hear…and until then, she'll learn how to serve God without hearing.

From jaareshiah"The word "eternal" can be applied to more than just God, for even the mountains are spoken of as being "eternal" at Habakkuk 3:6, saying: "And the eternal (Hebrew adh' ) mountains got to be smashed; the indefinitely lasting ("indefinitely lasting", Hebrew ohlam) hills bowed down. The walkings of long ago are his."Of course eternal is used here as a figure of speech. Compared to the lifespan of a man they would certainly seem so. But we all know the Bible says these mountains will disappear so are not eternal.Like when the Bible says, "God owns the cattle on 1,000 hills" it is again a figure of speech. God owns the cattle on 1,001 hills, on 1,002 hills, etc. basically ALL the hills. Why didn't it say ALL that the first time?You surely don't think the hills actually bowed down did you?The Bible and science are pretty clear. NOTHING CREATED can last forever, so wherever the Bible uses the word eternal and it is NOT in reference to God, they mean a comparatively lomg time.
Jaareshiah,You quoted me as where i said something was a figure of speech and even gave an axample of the Bible using a figure of speech. You then stated outright that I failed to grasp (as if I was stupid) that the bible uses figures of speech.With all the stuff you said, I didn't see a rebuttal of my main premise(in fact, why quote me at all when it looks like you didn't read it. Since we were talking about eternity, the main premise I made was:The bible and science are absolutely clear. NOTHING CREATED can last forever.Based on that fact, whenever the Bible refers to anything other than God (i.e. anything created) it does not and cannot mean literally eternal or eternally.Truthfully, are you a Jehovah's Witness? You use a lot of their verbiage and are seeming to regurgitate what their leaders tell them. If your not a JW, you ought to read their stuff and see how much they agree with you.
Jaareshiah,I knew you were. Thank you for being truthful and admitting it. I'll also be truthful and admit to you that20 years ago I was a missionary to the JW's. I know if another JW reads any answer from you that doesn't toe the party line you could be disfellowshipped so I'll understand if you don't answer some of my questions.I guess I shouldn't have used the word "party" but i didn't mean it like a party "party"
But Jehoavh witnesses believe in a restored earth for All. They were one of the first that introduced me to universal salvation.
I ran a support group for people that had been disfellowshipped, had realized the truth about the organization, and or had friends or family members that were still "working" for their salvation through the organization. Whenever someone knew someone that was in JW's they would try to set up an introduction. Most were fearful, some were willing to listen. Some knew the organization was wrong but feared losing family/children and/or friends. The fact that you're here shows that there is the possibility of an open mind unless you're chalking time spent here as you're "witnessing time."The interesting thing is many many came "out" after doing nothing more than reading even the New World translation rather than the organizations publications and contemplating some questions. (Some I posed earlier)Statistically, there are four pages of organization literature to read for every 1 page of scripture. I believe I'm one of the few people in the world that has never been a witness but have read the New World translation in it's entirety.It seems because the "translators" that had almost no knowledge of the greek or Hebrew there was stuff that they missed or didn't realize what they were writing was contradictory and much was left in that STILL pointed to Jesus as God incarnate and our Saviour.
..Jehovah's Witnesses..
Do they believe in salvation by grace alone, through the gift of faith in Yeshua Moschiach and His saving work on the cross [tree/stake] - His shed blood as the all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins? Paul said he preached the whole counsel of God. He preached salvation by faith in Yeshua through His finished work of salvation on the cross [stake/tree]. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9For Christ didn't send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News--and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power. I Cor. 1:17 But even if ever I, or a Messenger from heaven, should bring a "good message" to you thatgoes beyond the one that I have brought to you, a curse upon him! Galatians 1:8
It's possible you may answer Jabcat and his question. You are an unusual witness in that you're even participating in this discussion board and you answered honestly about being a witness.I think Jabcat already knows but Witnesses do NOT believe in salvation by grace alone by his shed blood on the cross/torture stake. They err greatly by believing that verses concerning Jesus are for the 144,00 and not them. (They believe that only 144,000 are going to be with Jesus in heaven) and Jehovah has the organizational plan for them (the rest) here are a few verses from the New World Translation many here are familiar with: God exalted him to a superior positions and kindly gave him the name that is aboveevery other name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground,11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.Makes me wonder why the made up name of "Jehovah" is considered by Witnesses to be greater than the name Jesus which is above every other name.
God knows how men tend to seek power and control over one another. It is a form of wickedness for which He created chaos, so that all our attempts to build little 'towers of Babel' would fail. Wonderfully insightful and very concisely put .

Hilbert College Celebrates Division III Integration
- Release Date:
- April 10, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The Hilbert College athletics department invited faculty, staff, student-athletes and senior administrators to an April 5th afternoon round-table discussion as part of an NCAA integration event designed to educate and celebrate Division III membership. A cross-section involving more than 55 individuals on the Franciscan campus shared their experiences and visions for continued success integrating their student-athletes in all phases of a collegiate experience.
"The interaction among students, faculty, and staff was exceptionally rich and it was exciting to see the insights that emerged," commented Hilbert College President Cynthia Zane. "It is my hope that we can repeat this event on an annual basis as one way to optimize student-athlete experiences at Hilbert."
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Nice work!makes me think that a mod set in world war 2 about the huge battle between the russians & germans in some balkan valley (cant remembr the name) would be awesome!
Spearhead marching onwards,
Take my soul sacrificial offering.
Your initial strike taken by surprise,
Now left alone, condemned by my pride,
Drained of all emotion - body now an empty shell,
There's nothing left - you've taken all away
Adrenaline flows,
Now filled with anger,
Just what will be the outcome,
Mass confusion tears my mind.
Spearhead - No victory sublime,
Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you,
Spearhead - to which I cannot hold
With clear perception my destiny unfolds.
I look to the refection, fail to recognise what's seen
A figure closed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be,
Faced by this total stranger - aware of your creation
No vision of the formed self - Controlled by your instruction,
Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance,
Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled,
Now string face to face, your eyes failed with with hate,
Held by your contempt, bought by weakness and by strength.

An agreement between the city and county schools that could be mutually beneficial in improving educational attainment for our students represents something that in recent years would never have happened. But we certainly view it as a welcome sign.
In case you missed it, last week we reported that the Hazard Independent Board of Education approved a memorandum of agreement with Perry County Schools that will "allow for a comprehensive effort to improve college and career readiness, provide high quality extra- and co-curricular activities for students K-12, and meet the unique needs of all students enrolled in each district."
Additionally, Perry County Interim Superintendent Jonathan Jett attended the city school board's meeting. The significance of a superintendent from Perry County attending a meeting of the Hazard school board was not lost on us.
We view this collaboration as a significant step in positive relations between the two school districts, and proof in and of itself that two school systems in the same county do not have to be constantly at odds, especially when it comes to educating students. Indeed, this shows that two districts can actually work together to benefit pupils on both sides.
Following a couple of turbulent years in the county school district, it seems there is a new environment there, and it's one we think could pay dividends for the students. Obviously, there remains much work to do with the state's new accountability system now in place, but we have little doubt our school districts in both Hazard and Perry County have the ability to meet that challenge, especially when we all decide to work together.

That's absolutely correct. However, while I appreciate that the stance is the party line for a reason (of course GW2 is easier to balance than GW1), I don't really accept that excuse after having been burned out by GW2 well in advance of them earning my deep-seated ire with the Ascended Armor fiasco. Did builds in GW1 tend to reduce to a handful of optimals? Sure. By my estimation, GW2 has done the same, the primary difference being that they started with fewer alternatives. If the intention was to reduce the number of gimp/ineffective builds, that was certainly successful, but I feel like it ultimately came at the expense of expression for players who have a strong understanding of the game systems' potentials but nonetheless are willing to sacrifice min-max efficiency for variety in playstyle.
In GW1, my Ritualist could be built a million different ways. Most of them were bad. However, because of my access to a changing sub-class and heroes, I had at least a dozen viable builds for completing content/farming in PVE. If I'd wanted to PVP, I would have had not millions--but at least a handful--of viable options there as well. In GW2, I had a build for my Mesmer. It was optimal for my playstyle. If I wanted to change things up, I could grab another weapon, and change a couple utilities, but I had no real opportunity to make subtle, nuanced changes to the build. I could create additional effects or make myself better or worse at certain things by tampering with traits, but that had only a very small, albeit non-zero, effect on how the character actually played.
Now I can't speak to broad-level viability metrics when it comes to comparing builds in GW1 and GW2, because I simply don't have access to the data. And I'll cheerfully concede that during the game's development, I was one of the ones championing the change in direction, because it really does make sense theoretically, and it looks pretty good on paper. Anecdotally, though, I could spend months on my ritualist and never ever burn out, whereas after only a month and a half on GW2 I felt like my playstyle had gotten stagnant and there was nothing left for me to do to innovate that I hadn't already tried, except roll another alt. That's telling to me, and I think it's symptomatic of the fact that the weapon-ability tie and rigid categorization of other skills is a step backwards.
Like a lot of areas in GW2, I feel like they sacrificed gameplay for accessibility, and in this arena the cost was a lot higher than they thought it would be. To me, improvement could have been achieved by, yes, doing away with redundant abilities, but more importantly, by improving synergy and balance among a large palette of abilities, with the expectation--and this is important--that players will figure out which ability combinations are good, create interesting builds, and discover combinations and levels of synergy that the developers didn't anticipate. Yes, that means future balancing work down the line, but it also allows the players to create their own content, and that increases replayability and longevity, something that GW2 is struggling for right now. Forgive me for speculating, but I suspect that the content-cycle steamroll is already pressing hard on development, and if the game had a systems-level means for players to tinker with it, we would be seeing the balance changes people have been raging about instead of desperate releases of new content every month.
There's nothing that says that abilities if implemented are set in stone. You can code a system to handle refunds if you decide an ability is trash after implementing it, and you can salvage your assets if you plan ahead for that. The art can be reused, the animation can be reused, or, hell, if you've got a competent team, you can actually--!--balance the ability after the fact. That's what they did with GW1, and while it indeed resulted in a patchwork skill list, it also made for a richer meta-game, and to this day I'd take Build Wars over Clones vs. Phantasms.
Peace and safety.

game is also real
thank you OP for putting my doubts together, as I was not sure what goes wrong with my GW2 gaming.
1. armor: IMO only few at GW2 looks cool and it nothing to have with tons of skins at GW.
2. cinematic. lol I must admit I loved it at GW! sometime made my party frustrated as looked same stuff for X time. Here in said "personal" story I have max 2 guys dialogue at static window.
3. I'm not much about PvP but even I found Random Arenas fun, at GW2 it seems dull and pointless.
4. I liked Mad King event but Wintersady is like nothing much, never felt anything like that at GW.
5. I keep thinking, it's not cuz we have stacks of 250 at GW we need to keep t at GW2, here with crafting (badly made, tbh)we sure need more mats and space.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.

I agree with everything to an extent, however I am hopefull for the future expansions to implement new typed of pvp (fort aspenwood anyone) and turtles in wvwvw. I would slap a quaggan for that.

I am a GW1 vet - played since beta and GW2 is a different game and I accepted that. i mean I was there for the monk protest at THK, I was the person who instigated the all-mesmer runs, after Sorroew's Furnace came out. I am probably also older than y'all (meaning you are more set in your ways) and I don't understand how you can not understand they made a new game. A.net said it was going to be different than GW1.
IT IS NOT GW1 - there will never be another one.

I too find GW2 seriously boring, and I don't even have an 80.......or even a 50.
The problems I see are that the downgrading of level is too severe to allow easy farming of mats(Which drop far too infrequently)
And the crafted gear is too late in levels making farming a very tedious endeavor no matter your level.
Runing speed is atrocious.
Disconnects are too frequent/Lag is too great
I miss the Rock Paper Scissors approach to class balancing. it made PVP much more enjoyable.
I miss the difficulty of GW1
I miss having to hunt down my Elite skills.
I miss being able to travel around waypoints without spending a crapload of money doing so.

Got to agree with all of the above. Crafting is a bit of a mess; and hunting elite skills, I would take that over a vista or jump puzzle any day of the week, dam I stopped playing platform games back when Doom was released and don't want them in my MMO's.

Everyone always pulls the "Hype" card.. but honestly that is the most BS excuse to hate something. "Oh the fanbase said a game is good, byond normal expextations this is all the games fault! How dare the game have a fanbase." what is worse is said Hype was all true.
Originally posted by cloud8521
I am not blaming the game for the hype, although I am partially blaming the devs. What I am saying is that if your expectations for something have been raised to unrealistic levels, then you are going to be disappointed. A simple point and completely valid.

I look back on the success Guild Wars 1 had and a big reason for that is because it wasn't like any other mmo out there. It pretty much was a complete opposite and fans loved that part. When I look at Guild Wars 2 it reminds me of just another run of the mill mmo and that is a problem.

So far, I am not a huge fan of GW2. But, I like it 100 times better than GW1. To me, GW1 felt like I was always playing in a small box. At least the world in GW2 feels way more open.

I have a hard time believing you kept a straight face while typing this.
1. Hype. Irrelevant. Has nothing to do with old GW1 dogs like myself liking the game.
2. Map. Yep, it's about exploring, and HEY! Just like GW1 was! Only now there's more to see, more to find, more to explore. Plus it's a dynamic, changing world. Comparing it to the instances in GW1 where you clear the mobs on the map then have the map to yourself, mob-free, is ridiculous. Different system, different game.
3. You don't like the story, others do. Irrelevant to GW1, although there's plenty of issues with GW1 story as well. Danika's voice acting, for example, still makes small children wake in the middle of the night in fear without knowing why.
4. Freedom. It's still there, it's just more than just the skills on the toolbar now. Traits, sigils, runes... they're all part of the build now instead of deciding whether or not to give Otyaugh's Cry a try or not.
5. Fake twitch? It's better than it was in GW1, where you saw the enemy cast bars and reacted on that instead of a visual clue which you may or may not miss. Seriously, you find that an issue, when it was so much easier in GW1?
6. The experiment, doing away with the trinity and hubs, is certainly a successful formula. They've done it brilliantly, regardless of what the vocal few on the forums think.
Originally posted by Volkon
1. I believe its relevent; if you have been given unrealistic expectations you will only be disappointed.
2. I am not much of a fan of the map in either tbh. Would prefer an open world to explore without walls. However, the GW1 map just felt more organic to me, it wasn't this horrible tetris world that just ruins all immersion.
3. Simply put, the GW1 story was vastly superior. The GW2 stories I have experienced just feel amateurish in the extreme.
4. GW2 is clearly far more prescriptive.
5. I don't really find it an issue tbh, it is one of the more minor grumbles I have. the general tedium of combat would be a bigger issue for me.
6. Pure opinion, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think the instances are mess because no real alternative has been offered for the trinity, it has simply been removed from the game. The hearts are simply quest hubs without any of the interraction you used to have. The dynamic events are not dynamic, the are just two or three constantly repeating quests, take area, defend area, repeat ad nauseum.

Comments about NIKE Kids' Mercurial Victory IV FG Soccer Cleats:
Not much to say, considering I knew exactly what brand and style shoe I wanted for my son by the time I got to the Sports Authority web site. We tried several shoes in local stores to determine which top 3 to search for on line. I always try them out locally for size and to get a sense for their quality level and pricing. Then I get to work online for the tedious part. I compare reviews of customers who have also purchased the shoes and narrow it down to one shoe. Then I search multiple sites for the best price with free shipping. I found everything I was looking for at Sports Authority. I will certainly make this my first site to check after I've read my reviews and I am ready to make the purchase. My packages came quickly as well, which always makes me happy. You can't go wrong with this shoe.

Henry Ethan Geddings, 95, went to his heavenly home March 11, 2013 to be with Jesus. Henry leaves behind a blessed family and many good friends.
Born February 13, 1918 in Sumter County, SC, he spent his youth on a Farm working beside his Father Ned Samuel Geddings and his Mother Estelle McLeod Geddings. At the independent age of 16 he moved to the town of Sumter where he worked in R.M. Bowick's Grocery Store and then later on to the Army where he spent 22 months overseas during World War II building runways and helping to set up Eisenhower's Headquarters with the 358th General Engineers.
After the war, he settled in Charleston, SC where he met his wife Nell Grimes Geddings (preceded in 2008) and he worked at the SC Ports Authority as a Carpenter Shop Foreman. Later, and for the majority of his career, he worked as a Framer and master Trim Carpenter (McAdams Construction of Charleston) helping to build many homes in the Charleston area including his own home in Summerville, SC. He was a Christian and a long-time member of Ladson Baptist Church.
After retiring at the youthful age of 62, Henry planted a large vegetable garden, which he shared with family and friends until he was 85. In retirement, Henry also had a love for the Ladson Flea market where he made many friends and bought and sold small tools and knives. Henry was happiest when he was around people. He especially enjoyed his weekday morning breakfast at Eva's Restaurant in Summerville and his frequent get-togethers with his "buds".
He leaves behind his Bible by his favorite sitting chair, his beloved cat Sonny, a loving daughter Julie Ann Zoller (Fred) and a very thankful son Kenneth Lenaire Geddings Sr. (Helen). He also leaves behind his sisters Margie Geddings Pridgen and Doris Windham both of Sumter and grandchildren, great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was also preceded by his son Donald Stephen Geddings, stepson William Allan Hood and brothers Roland Geddings, Harry Geddings, Gene Geddings, and sister Louise Timmons.
Funeral services were held at Parks Funeral Home Chapel Thursday morning, March 14, 2013 at 11 o'clock, officiated by The Reverend Howard McGramer. Burial was held Summerville Cemetery. Friends called at Parks Funeral Home Wednesday from 6 – 8 o'clock.
Arrangements by Parks Funeral Home, 130 West 1st North Street, Summerville, SC 29483.

Parasitic Extraction - HiPer PX | Tanner EDA
HiPer PX ensures successful IC tapeouts by providing accurate, simulation-ready RC models of interconnect parasitics and crosstalk.
HiPer PX is an accurate layout-to-circuit extractor for deep submicron MOS and bipolar circuits. Compact and accurate RC models for interconnects are generated that are accurate up to a user-defined signal frequency. HiPer PX uses a fast and comprehensive interpolation method or an accurate boundary-element method for capacitance extraction and an efficient finite-element method to accurately extract interconnect resistances.
Top features & benefits:
Designer can accurately model interconnect parasitic effects so they don't have to:
- Sacrifice performance or overdesign to achieve safety margins. This wastes power, silicon, and ultimately higher design time.
- Estimate parasitics by hand, which is laborious and inaccurate.
- Redesign if the design fails or is below specifications after fabrication. This leads to huge costs for failure analysis, redesign, fabrication and schedule loss.
2D (fast) extraction pre-computes a table of values using the same methods as the 3D version, and then uses that table to estimate the parasitics based on a 2D representation of the layout.
3D (accurate) extraction creates a full 3D model of the layout and extracts parasitics based on finite element analysis using the vertical spacing, thickness, and dielectric constant of the layers.
