|Woman Airlifted After Bamboo/421 Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 07 October 2011 08:47
A woman was airlifted after her pickup slammed into the side of a truck at Bamboo Road and US 421. The crash just before 8am snarled traffic as Boone Fire and Boone Police—stepping in for the state patrol—worked the scene while Watauga Medics rushed the woman to the helipad
at Watauga Medical Center. She was flown to the Johnson City Medical Center for treatment of abdominal and other injuries. Traffic was maintained through the site, but still backed up both inbound and outbound.

Mega Hot Style Icon: Andrew Garfield
Usually I do the "Style Icon" segment on fabulous ladies with wonderful style, but it recently dawned on me that many guys know how to dress too! So here it is, my first male Style Icon: Mr. Andrew Garfield.
Andrew's style varies a lot of the time, but it is usually very trendy. Along with sharing some of his best styles, I will include the links to some of the clothes incase you want to buy it for your boyfriend, husband, brother, etc. (or yourself, go male Buzznet readers!)
The first item I really love on Andrew is this Marc Jacobs Colorblock Cardigan. Pictured above with his sweetie Emma Stone, Andrew looks professional yet preppy. The perfect amount of pep and prep and just overall a hot look. (But, then again Andrew is always a hot man.)
Not only is he dressed to impress in photoshoots, but also on the red carpet. Speaking of red, doesn't his Balenciaga Red Suit just really look great on him?
Outside while lounging around, Andrew doesn't get too dressed up. But his style is quite vintage to say the least. Rocking a Ramones tee or this wrestling tee:
Not only is Andrew a hot british babe, but he also gives back to the world through charity and is an advocate for Stand Up To Cancer. Below he is wearing the SU2C LOGO Tee:
Well there you have it. From playing a sassy social network creator to a teenager with spidey senses, Andrew Garfield definitely knows how to play dual roles, and he definitely has one defiant style that any man that cute can pull off.
Who is your favorite male style icon?

YOUNG, OVERTON STEPHEN (1826–1877). Overton Stephen Young, planter and Confederate army officer, was born on September 26, 1826, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, the son of Isaac N and Mary (Austin) Young. He attended Amherst College in Massachusetts from 1847–49, but did not graduate. Instead, he returned to Georgia to study law. He moved to Texas in 1851 and began practicing law in Fort Bend County. He married Ann Elizabeth (Compton) Manadue, widow of Warren Henry Manadue, on May 13, 1852, in Brazoria County. She had a son and a daughter by her previous marriage, and had four sons with Young. After his marriage Overton Young changed his occupation from practicing law to planting, and by 1860 he was a wealthy planter in Brazoria County.
On December 12, 1861, he was commissioned as colonel of the Twelfth Texas Infantry. Ordered with other Texas infantry regiments to Camp Nelson, Arkansas, Young's men were brigaded with Col. William B. Ochiltree's Eighteenth and Col. Richard B. Hubbard's Twenty-second Texas Infantry regiments, Col. John H. Burnett's Thirteenth Texas Cavalry (dismounted), and Capt. Horace Haldeman's artillery battery to form the First Brigade. Young was appointed brigade commander and was superseded in command of the regiment by Lt. Col. Benjamin A. Philpott. The First Brigade was combined with the Second Brigade of Col. Horace Randal and the Third Brigade of Col. George M. Flournoy, in whose Galveston offices Young's eldest son, Lee, had studied law, to form the Texas Division. A fourth brigade, under Col. James Deshler, was detached to Arkansas Post soon after its organization. The division was officially known as McCulloch's Division or the First Division, Second Corps, Army of the Trans-Mississippi Department, until Maj. Gen. John G. Walker assumed command on January 1, 1863. It then took the name of Walker's Texas Division and was so known until the end of the war. Brig. Gen. James M. Hawes, who had commanded a brigade of cavalry under Gen. Thomas C. Hindman and had taken part in cavalry raids throughout Arkansas, succeeded Young as commander of the First Brigade in April 1863 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and Young reverted to the command of his former regiment. In that capacity he participated with great distinction in the battles of the Red River campaign and the battle of Jenkins' Ferry, where he was severely wounded in the wrist. In his official report Gen. Thomas N. Waul, Young's commanding officer at Jenkins' Ferry, took pains to "especially commend" his behavior on that field. "As at Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, he behaved courageously and cooly, managing his regiment with great skill and exhibiting much fitness for command." Young's wound, wrote Waul, would deprive his brigade of one of its finest officers if it prevented him from returning to the army, and Waul earnestly recommended him for promotion. Young was still listed as commander of the Twelfth Infantry in December 1864. He was paroled in Houston on June 28, 1865, as colonel.
Following the war, Young resumed his life as a Brazoria County planter. He died on September 18, 1877, in Galveston, and is buried in Galveston's Old Catholic Cemetery.

CENTRAL FALLS — Mo Jackson has endured only a few rebuilding years during a decade-plus tenure as the head coach of Central Falls, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any of those seasons as difficult as this one.
With just four returnees and a wealth of first-year players and junior varsity call-ups at his disposal, Jackson saw his inexperienced squad battle through a lot of growing pains and wrap up its Division IV season with a 2-6 record.
And things won't get any easier for the Warriors on Thanksgiving Eve. Sure, Tiverton, which had copped its last 12 holiday games with C.F., is no longer its opponent, but the Warriors have a much tougher -- and closer -- foe awaiting them in Lincoln.
"I think it could become a good Blackstone Valley rivalry because we're so close," said Jackson, whose crew will head to Lincoln's Ferguson Field for the initial chapter in this new rivalry. "But this is going to be a very tough game, especially since Lincoln's been doing very well. We're just going to continue to do the best we can."
Jackson has done the best he could with a 29-man unit that is led by its four veterans, senior linebacker Luis Lubo, junior quarterback Steven Vasquez, senior lineman Dave Kaufalski, and junior lineman Sension Jimenez. There are also 12 other seniors that are on the team, but six of them are first-year players.
"We've taken our licks this year," offered Jackson. "There were three things that really hurt us this season. No. 1, we turned the ball over a lot. No. 2, we didn't really play four quarters in any game we played, and No. 3, we didn't execute."
Despite its inexperience, the Warriors were still able to launch their division schedule with a 10-3 triumph over Smithfield, and three weekends ago, they were 21-6 winners over the Providence Country Day's co-op team.
They also had some close calls in defeats to North Providence and Scituate, and they were on the brink of an upset win in early October over unbeaten Mount Pleasant, but things soon fell apart.
"That game was the backbreaker," said Jackson. "We played them tough for three quarters and we were only down by a touchdown, but then they scored 19 points in just seven minutes and just blew us out of the water. We had an interception and a fumble, and a kid ran a kickoff back."
The Warriors also received some exceptional play from a number of players this year, beginning with Vazquez, who had his second 1,000-yard season passing and three wide receivers who caught at least 16 passes, seniors Tyler Pineda (20) and James Ramos (19), and junior Joel Peralta (16).
Pineda is one of C.F.'s four captains. The other three are senior tailback Jose Peraza, who leads the team in touchdowns (six) and rushing yards, Jimenez, who has a team-high 88 tackles and five sacks, and Lubo.

Why Do Ethics Stories Still Quote CREW's Melanie Sloan?
March 04, 2011
[Guest post by James Downie] Kudos to the New York Times for a well-done investigation, published yesterday, on how companies operating in Louisiana are donating large amounts of money to Bobby Jindal's wife's charity. Of course, that does not immediately prove something unethical has actually taken place, but, well, I'll let a quote from the Times piece sum it up: "The motives might be good," said Melanie Sloan, director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics [in Washington], which has also examined public records detailing the operations of Mrs. Jindal's charity.

7 Books That Should Be Movies
It's not much of a secret that Hollywood is having a tough time coming up with original ideas these days. Hence the ever increasing amount of reboots that were are seeing flood theaters. If it was good the first time, it will be great the second time, right? Despite the lack of success that most reboots provide, studios continue to look to past films as a source for a film. I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather see something at least some-what original in the adaptation of a novel. We know that comic books are becoming a rich source for ideas and of course books, short stories and novel have been the inspirations for literally hundreds, if not thousands of films. With there being so many more books that directors and writers could turn to, I'm not sure why they continue to rehash films that don't need to be remade. The originals were fine, leave them alone. Having said that, I don't mind a reboot if the original film was handled badly and didn't do the book justice.
What I've done here is compile a list of eight books that I feel would translate well into a hit film. However, there are a couple that have already seen the big screen before, but the films that were made were just terrible and I feel they deserve a second chance. You'll also see a few that were nearly movies, but for one reason or another, the studio put an end to the projects.
House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski-
This is easily one of the strangest and weirdest books I've ever read. It's a unique combination of a horror tale and a romance novel, with a touch of satire. Not only is the story a mind bender, but the way it is printed makes it somewhat of a challenge to read, using different colors of ink and a rather large amount of footnotes that tell a whole separate story. This is a very rewarding book, but you have to earn that reward. I'd give you a plot synopsis, but I don't think it could be summarized in a few sentences. What you need to know is that you get two different tales, as I mentioned above. The first is that of Zampano, a blind man whose strange manuscript is found in his apartment when he dies. The other comes in the form of Johnny Truant, the man who discovers said manuscript and is the narrator of The House of Leaves.
This would not be an easy story to bring to the big screen and would take a writer and director who are up for a challenge. Trying to make these two very different stories intertwine would take the right touch and talent and I'm not sure there are many people who would want to tackle the idea. But, if it were to happen, you can bet that the film would turn the horror genre on its head.
Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini-
This is one of those that has already been attempted on the big screen with Eragon. The series, which contains a total of four books (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance), has been compared to Lord of the Rings quite a bit, as it too features Elves and Dwarves, but this series leans more towards the fantasy sides with the inclusion of magic and dragons. The books are a fun, rather easy read, but easily one of the most entertaining series to hit the shelves in recent years. The story revolves around Eragon, a boy who happens upon a dragon's egg in the forest. This completely turns his world upside down and forces him to become the leader of a rebel force that is looking to over-throw the dark ruler. Along the way, he learns of deep family secrets, the pain of love and loss. It truly is a fantastical ride.
Eragon was made into a film back in 2006, but it failed to gain much of a following. The problem I saw was that it deviated too far from the source material. A lot of the back story was completely over looked, entire races, which play a rather integral part of the overall story, were totally dropped and the climactic battle was so dumbed down that is was laughable. I truly believe that if this property was given a second chance and a studio were to drop some money behind it, the Inheritance Cycle could be a hugely successful franchise. One that movie goers of all ages and lifestyles could enjoy.
Jackdaws by Ken Follett-
This book is a bit of a deviation from the usual Comic Book Therapy fodder, but that doesn't mean that is not a good book that would be an amazing film. In 1944, the Allies are just about to make their move against the Axis forces in Europe. In the occupied town of Sainte-Cecile, the French Resistance is preparing to blow up the chateau that now houses the crucial telephone exchange connecting the French telephone system to that of Germany. A group of female spies are assembled to infiltrate the chateau and destroy the German army's ability to send out warnings of the advancement of Allied troops.
With the influx of films that feature strong female protagonists, and even more on the way, I can't think of a better time to attempt this project. Films, and books, such as Hunger Games and characters like Black Widow show that females can lead a film that people will enjoy. A film like this would be like a female version of the Expendables set in World War II and I'm fairly certain it'd do well at the box office. Pull together a young, well known cast that includes the likes of Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon and Ashley Greene and you really can't go wrong.
Prey by Michael Crichton-
Crichton is known for his science-based thrillers, several of which have already been translated to very successful films. Prey takes all that is good and bad regarding nanotechnology and drops it into one of the more intense books I've read in recent years. In Prey, The nano particles gain a mind of their own and begin to fight back against a group of scientists and their families. It's a real nail-biter and it does a really good job of scaring the bejeezus out of you, especially concerning the idea of the advancement of technology.
Nanotechnology, has been touched on in recent television series such as Revolution, but in regards to film, the last time it was used was in the rather questionable GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which most of us are still trying to forget. The use of the technology in Prey is much different in that the particles actually gain a mind of their own and become the antagonist on their own. Science, while extremely useful, can be very scary at the same time and Prey is evidence of that.
Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice-
Right, we've already seen this book translated to a film. But anyone who has read this book knows that the film was an atrocity and was changed so much that they should have just given it a different name. This is easily my favorite of the Vampire Chronicles, as it lays out the entire origins of the vampires in Anne Rice's books. It's a very deep and unique origin as well, one that would be awesome to see converted to film. Not only that, but the book sees the assembling of some of the oldest and most powerful vampires in the series, joining to fight a very powerful threat.
What I'd really like to see happen is a reboot of the franchise, starting with Interview With The Vampire, and set up a new continuity. The problem with this is that vampires are coming to the end of their reign at the box office, so bringing Queen of the Damned or any of the Vampire Chronicles back into theaters would be a big gamble. Regardless, I think there is still life there, but it's not up to me. Unfortunately.
Paradise Lost by John Milton-
This is one of those projects that nearly made it to production, but the cost began to sky rocket. Alex Proyas was at the helm, with Bradley Cooper, Benjamin Walker, Diego Boneta, Camilla Belle, Casey Affleck, Callan McAuliffe, Dominic Purcell, Rufus Sewell, and Djimon Hounsou all set to star. It's a shame it couldn't happen, because this sweeping epic could have been an absolutely stunning film and story to watch unfold.
For those not familiar with the poem, it tells of the events that occurred at the beginning of man kind, including the heavenly battle between God's angels and Lucifer's followers, as well as the fall of man after Lucifer tempts Eve with the ill-fated fruit. Obviously, the film would have been very centered in the Christian faiths, but the imagery that would have come from this film would have been stunning. Here's to hoping that one day this film can be made.
At The Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft-
We all know tat Guillermo Del Toro likes to keep a full schedule and one of the downfalls from this is that some of the projects he starts to work on never see the light of day. But this film, which he was actively working on, was given the ax before it got too far into production. It was because of Prometheus, the Alien prequel, that put the final nail in the coffin for Del Toro's adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness, in addition to those lovely budget cuts that studios like to do. Apparently, there were too many similarities between Ridley Scott's sequel and the planned sci-fi thriller and since Prometheus made it into production first (GDT was filming Pacific Rim at the time), the film was dropped.
Here's my thought on that, by now, most people wouldn't make a connection between the two films, especially with the number of years that will separate the two projects. Not to mention that Prometheus was a rather forgettable film. Good, yes, But not a great film. I'd much rather see what Del Toro put together. Anything with science fiction, monsters and Del Toro is pretty much going to be awesome.
Those are just a few of the books I'd like to see make it to the big screen some day. Or return to the big screen in some cases. There is a veritable gold mine of source material out there in the form of books and I just hope that Hollywood continues to look to them for inspiration, more so than they are doing now. Of course, I'd rather see original ideas first, but a film adaptation of a book is a hell of a lot better than a remake or an unnecessary sequel that plagues out theaters. Anyway, what books would you like to see converted over to film? Sound off below, we'd love to hear from you.

A new trailer for Star Command, the spaceship management game that allows you to build your ship, hire your crew, and explore the galaxy, reveals that the title will be coming May 2 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch with Android and PC versions to follow.
Here's an official description of the game courtesy of the Boulder, CO-based developer Warballoon's Kickstarter page for the project:
Star Command is an upcoming space ship-simulation-adventure game where you build an interstellar starship of your own unique image. You choose the colors, the hull types, the size and most importantly, who and what goes inside. Engine rooms, medical bays, shield generators – the choice is yours.
After you build your vessel, you will search the galaxy for talented crew to hire and help on your voyage. You will level-up crew members, give them new ranks and powerful abilities like tactical grenades to obliterate invaders, deployable shield walls to defend from incoming laser basts, or even the ability to revive slowly-dying crew members.
Once your awesome ship and elite crew are assembled, you will hyper-speed to new and strange places throughout the galaxy, making contact with exotic alien lifeforms. Some will be friendly, some weird and bizarre, and some will be downright evil.
Inevitably you will be forced to defend your ship from hostile forces. Firing critical plasma torpedoes to drop the enemy shields, repairing hull-breaches sucking crew into the vacuum of space, putting out burning fires, repelling invaders beaming onto your vessel. You will have to make quick and decisive decisions to ultimately decide who lives and who dies.
Along the way you can research strange and exotic technologies, upgrade your rooms to make them even more powerful and even find cute and cuddly animals to bring aboard for space pets! The choice is yours.
Personally, I think this game looks pretty awesome and although I haven't backed it on Kickstarter, I'm looking forward to checking it out later this week. If you feel the same way, I advise that you learn more about the Star Command over on its official website.

| WORKIN' DAY AND NIGHT: Andrea Slonecker works at Ken's Artisan Bakery in Northwest Portland when she's not at one of her other four jobs.
IMAGE: Darryl James
Just in case you haven't noticed, every media source in the state—nay, the nation—is spreading mass hysteria about job loss and home foreclosures. In preparation for our own pink slips (Oregon's unemployment rate as of February was 10.8 percent) many of us have taken up nail-biting and asking friends about the availability of their couches just in case of eviction. We're scared, we're nervous; hell, we're downright depressed. But not everyone in Portland is up shit creek without a paddle just yet. With furloughs and layoffs around every corner, any Portlander with multiple occupations is clinging to them desperately. Sure, call them selfish for hoarding jobs. Just don't call them lazy.
Andrea Slonecker
Job: Editorial assistant at Northwest Palate magazine
Other job: Part-time assistant to PR guru Bette Sinclair, part-time assistant to cookbook author Diane Morgan
Other, other jobs: Worker bee at Ken's Artisan Bakery and Carafe
Why I moonlight: " The jobs I have don't pay very well. I don't make a lot of money, and in this economy, people don't have full-time work for me, or for anyone. So I've had to piece together a living on all of these different jobs."
Ulterior motive: " I'm obsessed with food. My whole life revolves around food. I wake up in the morning and am like, what am I going to have for dinner? What am I going to have for lunch?"
Point of intersection: " Networking yourself is seriously the best way to follow your dreams...that's what I did." Slonecker recalls approaching Morgan at a Culinary Alliance event and asking if she needed help with her cookbook writing. Later, someone in the media recommended Slonecker to Sinclair, who was seeking an assistant.
Slonecker, a 28-year-old transplant from Nebraska, is obsessed with the Food Network—and has been since college. "That's all I watched, and I would make all the recipes," says Slonecker. All those hours spent re-creating recipes propelled her toward the culinary field, she explains: "It just became more real to me that I could have a career in food." But despite the profound influence TV had on her future, Slonecker simply doesn't have time to watch anything these days. Clocking 55 hours a week between all of her jobs—and still not making enough to afford an iPhone or a car—she says what she misses most is movies and live music. "Right now all I do is work, and I have a boyfriend who is a chef so I spend a little time with him."
Tracy Russell
Job: Librarian at Lincoln High School
Other job: Teaching Library Media Endorsement classes at Portland State University
Why I moonlight: "I'm a single parent. Right now I have one child in college and I'll have two kids in college next year."
Ulterior motive: "I love teaching. It sounds corny, but that's why after 31 years, I love my job and I'm not thinking about quitting or retiring."
Point of intersection: Lincoln students and PSU students mingle in the Writing Center, a program Russell started two years ago at Lincoln to give the high-schoolers access to free tutoring sessions and writing assistance. "We have PSU students that come in and volunteer to help," says Russell. "It's been really successful…Wilson High School started one this year."
Russell believes in the power of education. She spent 31 years in the Portland Public School system and 16 years teaching at PSU. During the winter term, she puts in 40 hours at the library, six hours teaching in the evening, and another six hours on the weekends to grade papers. "I'm the Mercy Corps adviser at Lincoln," she says when asked about her extracurricular activities. But her confidence wavers when it comes to her own income, which right now totals around $70,000—thanks to her master's degree. "I got a second mortgage on my house in preparation to help cover [my son's] tuition," says Russell. But even with two jobs and a second mortgage, she wonders, "Can I afford for him to have a place to live down there [in Eugene]?"
Lance Mayhew
Job: Bank manager
Other job: Craft bartender at 50 Plates and freelance writer
Why I moonlight: "When you work in corporate America, you've got to do something fun to keep your sanity."
Ulterior motive: " The day job alone would pay all of my bills…[when] you don't have to worry about where the tips come from, you can just practice your craft."
PHOTO BY ANDREW WILLIAMSPoint of intersection: Mayhew recalls being in junior high when his father found him a job—"I was picking blackberries with migrant workers. I think I made about $25 that whole summer. I just remember shredding my hands." That summer has become his barometer for hard work. So now, even though he works multiple jobs and puts in around 90 hours a week total, he does not consider any of it hard work. In fact, he would prefer never to do hard work ever again.
"I've been a bartender since I was 21," says Mayhew, 36, who spoke of bartending as "his craft." And apparently, craft bartenders are in high demand. Soon he will be taking on additional hours at Beaker Flask, Kevin Ludwig's highly anticipated spirits spot on Southeast Sandy Boulevard. His bartending has also resulted in writing gigs as well. "I write for an international bartending website," says Mayhew. "The editor came to me; I didn't pitch anything." Unfortunately, bank management seems to be a much more precarious field as of late. "My bank could be gone. Who knows?" he worries. "Now I think I could lose my job in the next six months. I'm really feeling lucky because at least I've got a fallback."
Sam Leach
Job: Third-grade teacher at James John Elementary School
Other Job: Running a one-man songwriting service called Boy Writes Song for Girl since 2007
Why I moonlight: " I was trying to think of something different I could do with my time that wasn't related to education. I think people moonlight because they want variety."
Ulterior motive: "I like to write songs about relationships. I was able to write a lot of those in college; I went through a lot of bad girlfriends. Then I got married, which totally screwed up my songwriting. I ran out of material...now men contact me and we meet in a bar or coffee shop. I write down everything they say…I walk away with three or four pages of notes. I turn the notes into lyrics."
Point of intersection: "People like to be listened to. I'm a really good listener," Leach, who charges $200 per song, explains. Whether it be a story about how a man met his wife, or what a third-grader did over the weekend, Leach wants to hear all about it.
The closing song that Leach and his rock band Eve's Dilemma play at their shows was actually written for a client of Boy Writes Song for Girl. The gentleman contracted Leach's services as a birthday gift for his wife, and Leach performed the song at the client's home. "He emailed me three times a day and was so excited," said Leach. "I got permission from them to perform it at our concerts. They've been to a show and got to hear it." Although this endeavor has been wildly successful in Leach's eyes—he writes two or three BWSFG tunes a year—he is determined to stick to his current format. "Women have asked me to write songs for their husbands, but I turned them down. I feel really comfortable talking to guys." Leach, who makes $50,000 a year as a teacher, did admit to writing a song for his daughter, Penelope, who was just born in September. Is a new spinoff called Boy Writes Song for Baby on the horizon? Perhaps.

5 Simple Ways to Occupy Preschoolers
Posted By Smockity Frocks On January 6, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Homeschool,Parenting | 23 Comments
We have "life group" at our house every Thursday night, which means we have 3 preschoolers in the mix (not counting 2 kindergarteners and 2 toddlers).
If you have any preschoolers living at your house, you may have noticed that it can be a challenge to give any project or conversation your focused attention unless the preschoolers have an activity that is keeping them busy.
I mixed 2 bags of dried beans (1 bag of pintos and 1 bag of black beans) in several bowls. I gave each child a spoon and asked if they could sort the beans into muffin tins using the spoon.
You may have a store bought set of these counting bears, but if you don't you can use buttons sorted into cupcake liners or onto paper plates. Let the children decide how they will sort the buttons, whether according to size or shape or color. When they are finished, pile them all back up and ask them to sort them according to a different value (size, shape, or color).
This is super simple, but the children love it! They can poke in both ends, or just one if they choose. After everyone had a turn at this activity, during the Bible reading portion of our group, I gave each child a handful of pipe cleaners and showed them how to twirl each one around one finger to make "caterpillars". They all sat very quietly making their little family of "caterpillars".
Pull up a couple of chairs, fill up the sink about half way full of water, add a squirt of dish soap, and toss in a few cups. Instant fun!
This works well, as does a wooden train track set, if it has been stored away out of site and only pulled out during special times. My girls will play for nearly an hour with this doll house or the wooden train tracks, if it has been a while since they have seen it.
Would you like to see more of my ideas on occupying preschoolers while homeschooling older children [3]?

Autism Symptoms
The most blaring thing about our son was that he was still non verbal at 18 months. Completely. We thought it was his hearing (he had many ear infections), but he had tubes put in, his hearing was tested (perfect), and his ear, nose, throat doctor and pediatrician suggested we have him tested. We then realized he had other symptoms, sometimes as a parent you don't want to accept these things, or you turn a blind eye.
Here are some of his other issues:
little to no eye contact
not responding to his name 75% of time
huge tantrums for what seemed like no reason
repetivitve activity (stimming), flapping arms, filling and dumping buckets of toys for long periods
no empathy, reaction to our emotions
waking a lot during the night (has to do with sensory issues)
And later, here are some of his newer symptoms:
no pretend play
no playing with toys appropriately
echolalia (he repeats everything now that he is verbal)
inability to answer questions
That is just my son! There are many other symptoms that may or may not pertain to other kids on the spectrum. People discuss things like too many ear infections being a sign (which my son had). The biggest ones are being non verbal, and lack of social interaction: no eye contact, not responding, too much independence. So check some Autism sites for other things you may be concerned about. Most medical websites have some sort of checklist. But always ask your pediatrician!
Then go with your gut. Our first pediatrician would not accept his diagnosis so we went to 2 other developmental pediatricians with more expertise and they were a better fit for us.

with us our first clue was at about 13 months when our son was separating mega blocks by color instead of stacking them. he'd have a yellow pile, a blue pile, a red pile, and SCREAM if I screwed up his piles. AFTER that was when the sensory stuff really kicked in and the non verbal was clearer..... he's now 3 years old and will ONLY talk if you write or spell for him. If you ask him to say something even as simple as hi, he won't. but if you write hi, he'll read it. Occupational and speech therapy and a special ed preschool program have helped.

Thanks for sharing Heather. That is very interesting about the writing making him talk. My son became verbal with the help of ABA but was solely echolalic for a while. Now his vocabulary is excellent. He can read and write, but has very little social skills. Autism is so interesting isn't it? And Jaylen has a lot of OCD tendencies too. He also gets upset if you mess up his stuff or things he is working on.

Autism being represented as a puzzle is so fitting in so many ways...for me looking back at my son's babyhood I can see all these different "pieces" of his development that I knew didn't FIT the "normal" range of child development...but I was unable to put those pieces together to see that the big picture was Autism.

Stopping by from Theta Mom.
This is excellent information! While Autism is not something in my realm, I have a son with dyslexia. It can be so hard to find information from real parents who have dealt with these situations everyday. I have found it hard to get information from our school as well.
Your list of symptoms is great and this type of advocacy from parents is exactly what brings light to our concerns in layman terms!
Good stuff.

Somerset Renewables Firm Wins National Award
Posted: May 21, 2014|
A renewable technology installer from Highbridge has been named May's 2014's Installer of the Month by Navitron – one of the UK's leading designers and suppliers of green energy systems.
Greenacre Renewables received the accolade after having continuously gone above and beyond for customers throughout the region during recent solar installation projects.
Mark Johnson of Greenacre Renewables, commented: "We couldn't be more proud to be named Navitron's Installer of the Month and have our hard work recognised!"
"Working as one of Navitron's partner installers over the past three years has been a great experience – and we look forward to helping even more homeowners and businesses save money on their utility bills and reduce their carbon footprints."
Over the past three years, Greenacre Renewables has performed over 70 solar PV and solar thermal installations throughout the Southwest - saving home and business owners thousands of pounds.
Stephen Knight, Commercial Director at Navitron, commented: "Every installation is always finished to the highest of standards, so it was an obvious decision to award Greenacre Renewables as our latest 'Installer of the Month'. Mark Johnson is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of solar energy and he always ensures his customers fully understand all that there is to know about their new solar panels.
Stuart Symonds from Burnham-on-Sea, commented: We had our Solar PV panels installed by Greenacre Renewables back in December 2011, and I couldn't be more pleased with the fantastic service they provided.
"They were so helpful throughout the whole process. Not only were they on time and quick to work, but very friendly when it came to answering our questions – even tailoring the system to our needs and leaving us with comprehensive information about our installation. I've even recommended them to my neighbours who've had them install panels on their roofs!
Stephen Knight, continued: "Thanks to Greenacre Renewables' expert work, home and business owners from across the Southwest have been able to enjoy the money saving benefits from renewable energy and government payback schemes – the Feed-In Tariff and the Renewable Heat Incentive."
Introduced by the Government during 2010 to help increase the level of renewable energy generation in the UK, the Feed-In Tariff is a scheme that pays people for creating their own 'green electricity' through the use of renewable technology.
The RHI is the world's first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat which, similar to the Feed-In Tariff, pays participants that generate and use renewable energy to heat their homes or office buildings.
Phase 1 of the RHI scheme, targeting businesses and non-domestic properties was launched in 2011; and Phase 2, which allows homes and other domestic buildings to benefit from government incentives, was recently launched on 9th April 2014.
Both schemes were implemented as a way of helping the UK reach its target of 15% of total energy being generated by renewables by the year 2020.

Anyway, point is my glasses are heeeeeeeeeere! Thank you to all who took the time to pick a pair or two. I think the ones that I bought were high on the votes list and I agreed! Zenni Optical impressed me again with the order being made accurately and shipped quickly. I also think the try on feature was a great addition and helped me out a lot. I wasn't really 100% thrilled with how my last glasses looked with my particular features. These ones are much better suited for me (I think). So here are your top two winners!
I apologize (somewhat) for my weirdo photos and lack of posting. My boyfriend had surgery a couple of weeks ago and I got sick from being in the waiting room. When I was almost better from that, I got sick AGAIN because now everyone at work is sick. Then again I make the same faces when I'm not sick, so I guess I take the part back about the photos and only apologize for the lack of posts.

Bring on the cookies
I was so enamored that our little local paper's front page is reporting that Brooks Elementary School says no to cakes and cookies until I thought … Brooks Elementary School has banned delicious baked goods?
It's not enough that federal law has outlawed bake sales due to highly fatty or caloric sweets. How do you cook all those goodies without throwing in a handful of fat and sugar in the mix? Anything less would taste like cardboard, and I'm not bidding on a gingerbread house made to taste like wood.
Where are the days when we could take a nap on a towel, taste a little white paste with that handy applicator brush, or breathe deeply into the freshly mimeographed papers our teacher would hand out (I thought it smelled like coleslaw). Did any of those practices result in reduced life-spans of Baby Boomers?
I realize allergies exist. I have a cousin that was allergic to everything while growing up. He had to take shots when he was a kid and couldn't run around without throwing up for some strange reason. He avoided most things, but that didn't affect the good times experienced by those around him. Ultimately, he outgrew the allergies.
My daughters were educated in the Coweta County school system and little do I remember about outlawed pastry products. Heck, I remember slinging hot dogs and hamburgers at the concession stand during EC games without the use of sanitary gloves or face masks. Thousands of spectators enjoyed the food without the need of an ambulance being dispatched.
What's next, "Goody-Free Zone" signage in front of the schools?
May I suggest a little less panic and over reaction. Let moms be moms and kids be kids. If 90 percent of the kids are allergy-free, then I say bring on the cookies and milk.

Developed with the aid of NASA and private company SkyTran, a new "sky pod" transit system — suitably known as skyTran — is set to be constructed in Tel Aviv, Israel. It will be the first magnetically levitating mass transit system.
The system is designed to ease the ever so often encountered traffic congestion in an urban setting. It will also offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to cars. The pods will be crafted from composite materials making it lightweight and easily supported by infrastructure. It's modular design of the system will allow for construction with minimal hassle. In terms of pricing, a trip using the system is set to be slightly less than what one would usually pay for taxi fare. Pods are expected to arrive almost instantly after being summoned and will provide a point to point service. Each boarding platform will be in close proximity to the next — within a quarter of a mile.
The system will consist of guide rails located 20 feet above the ground and will offer persons who wish to ride it the facility to call for one of the personal two-seater pods via a website or through mobile apps. Electricity will be provide power to each pod from above with magnetic levitation — made possible by magnets in each pod and within the "skyway" — ensuring for a smooth ride.
Malaysia, India and Indonesia are among some of the other countries who have shown interest in the skyTran system and are considering installing their own. This seems like an awesome concept and I would love to take a ride on one. Take a look at the video below to see how it is envisioned that the system will run.

The first magnetically levitating mass transit system is already here, in Shanghai, China. The train system runs between Shanghai city and Shanghai international airport.
The SkyPod is just like mini version of monorail, more of like taxi for smaller number of passengers. What's important is the efficiency of the mass transit system. If it runs well, monorail or SkyPod version will be a good solution for the future urban transport.

Other grades are viscous with good gap filling properties. For forming a lens, I'd suggest one of the thicker grades to produce a droplet.

Any of the boards on this page will support your cpu. Only a couple of them have isa slots though.
Forward thinking, I would consider buying a PCI based SCSI card. That way you dont have a ISA slot in your system that you wont be using when you outgrow your scanner.
Plus, you could always use the new card for your SCSI drives if you ever felt inclined to purchase some.
You could also look around for some boards that has SCSI on board already. Then, you dont even have to use up a PCI slot.

I had intended to turn this in to an article, or just post it on my blog. However, I came up short on content, and thought it would better serve the community here. The forums also provide more exposure, and thus a higher potential for interaction and feedback. I know others (Ryan J., Dave C., etc.) have likely had similar experiences and will hopefully chime in.---------------------------------In the late fall of 2007 I was roughly 175 pounds and in the range of 18-20% body fat. This photo is from 3-day loop around Newton Bald in the Smokies. We experienced temperatures in the low teens, and I was toasty in a thin wool shirt and 50g high loft synthetic jacket. Between the first of 2009 and 2010 I dropped to around 138 pounds and a pretty consistent 6-7% body fat. I've since been out in similar conditions to that 2007 trip, and despite a couple layers of down on my torso (probably 3x the warmth of that 50g jacket I had), I was cold.On a recent trip, we experienced pouring rain and 60-65 degree temps for a couple hours. My wife and dog enjoyed themselves in the cooling rain, a nice break from the southern heat, while I was miserable. Even at a light jogging pace I was covered in chill bumps and trying not to shiver.The other side of this is thermodynamics. Post meal, when turning in to bed, or during physical activity (especially of the intense variety) I give off heat like a furnace. But, as soon as I stop moving or run out of calories, I chill quickly.This photo is from a traverse in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex of Montana. I was wearing a thin merino wool hoody and compression shorts, as well as full gaiters and snow shoes. But, if we stopped moving for very long, I started to get cold and had to suggest we start moving again.So what does all this really mean? A tipping point with body fat appears to exist, where going too low requires carrying additional insulation to maintain warmth. Finding that exact point would require study of a more scientific nature, but I'd estimate it to be in the range of 10-12%. Below 10% and you start to need additional external insulation to make up for a lack of internal insulation. Were that the only trade-off, I'd probably say it's a good one. After all, a one pound down jacket is, in theory, likely to insulate the core far better than a pound of fat would. Unfortunately, low body fat also starts to limit your reserves, thereby limiting your potential trip length. We can only carry so much food into the back country, and it's never quite enough to cover our daily expenditure. Couple that with little to no on-board reserves and you spell trouble, fast.chris wallace | outdoorswith.me

I'm sorta of in the same boat. I'm 5' 8" and now around 139 lbs, after following the Paleo Diet since January, and changing my exercise strategy. I've lost fat from places I didn't know I had fat. I'm really re-thinking my backpacking diet -- more protein, more fat.That said, I really enjoyed my last trip without the 20 lbs of excess body fat...

...as well as full gaiters and snow shoes. But, if we stopped moving for very long, I started to get cold and had to suggest we start moving again Read something similar a few years from BP or Outside, where mountaineers stated they added body fat for high altitude mountaineering. Probably more for energy stores but could get into insulation. Snowshoeing season coincides with Thanksgiving and Xmas meals, so haven't had to worry about this for day-trips.
Edited by hknewman on 07/09/2011 12:29:17 MDT.
Makes sense that very low fat reserves could make your body think it's in danger of starvation, so it will protect itself by ramping down your metabolic rate. That could contribute to loss of cold tolerance at least as much as the lost insulation.
Will - that might be possible if you get in to essential fat, but I've never heard of it occurring. Quite the opposite is true in my case - I burn through calories at an insane rate. The only way I've been able to gain weight in any recent period was by eating 6-7k calories a day while being mostly sedentary.
A friend of mine who is a runner had his body fat measured at 5.3%. His physician told him that it was too low to be healthy and told him to get up to 8-10% minimum.--B.G.--
Edited by jshann on 07/09/2011 14:56:24 MDT.
Well, I'm certainly no scientist but I can share my personal experiences here and you may be dealing with something more than just body fat percentage. What exactly it is, I'm not sure. (Sorry for this long post but maybe something will help.)I've been at about 4.5% body fat at 160 lbs. and I'm now probably around 20% body fat at 180 lbs. The one thing I can tell you is that at both high and low body fat percentages, there seems to be some magical temperature where I get cold when I'm outdoors and not moving.I sweat like a crazy man when I'm on the move. I heat up quickly and stay that way until I stop. Then I seem to chill quickly and find it hard to recover if I don't properly insulate at the right time. My internal temperature swings seem to be greater than many of the people I've hiked and camped with and I'm thoroughly convinced it's a combination of variables that I haven't fully identified yet or have failed effectively control.Generally, I seem to require more insulation in and around camp after activity has stopped. The same holds true for my sleeping bag and pad. NeoAir below 40 degrees F? Maybe even down to 35F? Maybe for many people but not for me! Been there, tried that and failed.It's taken me a few years but I'm slowly getting better at dealing with it. Even though I haven't really identified what "it" is that makes me feel cold. Probably a combination of many things including: body fat %, age, hyrdation levels, etc.One thing I am sure of is that someone will probably weigh in on this topic who really knows some things and give some good advice. Excellent topic and good luck!
Chris,Instead of increasing your body-fat %, would increasingyour lean muscle mass help insulate ? At what point generally does muscle cannibalizing occur? I know from following your blog over the year or so that you do lots of functional strength training, body weight exercises, etc. What would happen if you increased resistance into your workouts and tweaked your diet without spinning off routine too far, could this help with your warmth issues on trips? BTW, I think your transformation from the old Chris to the leaner Chris is pretty killer, especially how you've maintained it so well.
Chris,You mention requiring 6-7K calories to gain any weight, even while sedentary. This is a bit unusual, to say the least. It sounds like you might have an elevated basal metabolism rate, cause unknown. Have you considered seeing an endocrinologist?I'd almost bet one of the first things he/she would do is order a BMR test. It could be as simple as your intense training schedule, or it could be something hormonal. Just a thought, since the other bases seem to be well covered by other posters.
I've got some extra body fat if anyone wants it :-)
Chris, are you eating many carbs? If you're on a paleo diet, with very low amounts of carbs, it could very well be that you are exercising beyond the ability of ketones to deal with the energy needs. With a lot of strenuous exercise, you need carbs.I'm firmly with Mark Sisson (of Primal Blueprint) on the idea of keeping exercise to a moderate level. One of the reasons I disagree with Crossfit (I did it for two years), is that it asks far too much from what normal animal bodies do. There is something inherently wrong with doing a circuit that routinely has you getting close to vomiting... that simply isn't the way our bodies were meant to be used (otherwise the urge to vomit wouldn't appear). You will never see wild animals, including our human ancestors, doing anything like that. And yet they are/ were very strong and fit.Perhaps you are overdoing it? Just an idea, since I'm certainly no expert on this. When I first read your post, one of the first thoughts I had was that it seemed very similar to anorexia.
Edited by butuki on 07/10/2011 00:00:27 MDT.
I appreciate all of the input that has been given thus far.My personal goal is to put on about 15 lbs with 10 being muscle. That should put me around 155 and 10% fat, all while not requiring me to buy new clothes. :-)Eugene - I'm not sure just adding lean muscle would help much. In fact, it might be counterproductive as I'd have to eat even more than I do now to maintain any type of warmth. I'm definitely no expert though.Tom - My wife has also mentioned my metabolism being so jacked up that I burn off pretty much anything I eat. I haven't had any tests done but it may be worth checking in to once I have insurance again. I'm far less active than when I was trying to lighten up my body and increase my fitness level, but my metabolism seems to still be around the same rate. I even tried hitting the gym for a year while modifying my diet to increase calories and protein. Nothing came out of it. The weight gain I mentioned occurred over a 1 month period and equated to about 3 lbs. I added a 2000 cal shake twice a day to my normal diet and only hit the gym 1 day per week for about 30 mins. I also didn't run or bike at all during that period. As soon as I went back to my normal routine, I promptly lost it all and a bit more.All of the experimentation can be fun, but also expensive and quite the daunting task.
Chris - My guess is that you'll get it dialed in sooner rather than later, now that you're starting to really focus on it. One thing for sure is that you'll be a much happier camper at 10% body fat, and it will definitely extend your range on trips. That is quite a journey you've been on. Best of luck!
This is a scary topic for me. The most I ever weighed was 175 and that was about 6 years ago. Now I average 145 and have no clue what my body fat % is; a 29" waist may tell you something. My problem is, certain health related issues require me to eat a low carbohydrate diet with very little sugar. Eating high calorie foods low in carbs and weight is a challenge. Cycling and hiking regularly now does not help me keep any weight on either. I really want to do a thru-hike but not being able to put on any weight and having no fat reserves is starting to scare me. I would have to consume 5000+ calories a day but it has to be low in carbs and that may be very difficult and HEAVY.Like others here, I tend to get cold when not active and sleep somewhat cold. My NeoAir and WM Summerlite are only good to about 40 degrees. Anything below that and I use a better pad and 15 degree bag.
I hate all of you.
I agree with Piper!
...just remember that you'll survive longer in an emergency situation with a little extra adiopose... assuming you have access to equal amounts of water.At least that's how I comfort myself at times like these.
Just want to point out that Chris' version of sedentary is a far cry from what most might quantify as such. He really can't sit still for long. ;pI had the same issue a few years ago, in fact I couldn't stop losing weight even though I ate 4 or 5 huge meals a day, everyone told me I needed to gain weight, including my doctor, but I felt I was in the best shape of my life. Chris's metabolism is definitely jacked, but regardless of whatever quantification a physician would put to it, it's a natural reaction to the sheer amount of activity he sustains on average. When I was working outside full time, exercising, and participating in strenuous sports, it was the same. I don't think your body can run full-tilt 90% of the time and then just throttle back.In fact, even after my lifestyle became much slower, with orders of magnitude less exertion, my metabolism stayed elevated, for well over a year. Only now after continued loafing have I managed to reach a relatively normal weight. Which btw, feels fat to me, but according to my doctors is in line with where I should be. Regardless, I know I'd be feeling healthier 5 lbs of beer lighter. ;)Ultimately, what I think Chris is really getting at here, and starting to really understanding himself, is that there's definitely a line you can cross. Just as it can be hard to stay healthy in an overly sedentary lifestyle, it can be with an overly active one also. The important thing is that he's acknowledging that, where as many people I see that become obsessed with activity and fitness, never realized when they've crossed that barrier. I don't think our culture really allows us to believe that you can be too "skinny" unless you've got an eating disorder, but you can, and as Chris is seeing, it can have consequences. It's especially compounded by the fact that's he's not "frail" at all, he's very muscular, however, most people with his physique get it from a gym, and only put it to test in a gym.Peak physical "strength"(endurance, fitness, whatever) and physique are not synonymous, even if they often line up.Don't worry Chris, if we keep with the Tequila and post hike Waffle House diet, it's bound to take it's toll eventually, even if we do 32miles in 12 hours.. =\
Piper and Mary: By no means was I trying to offend anyone. I just feel for the OP and can relate. From what I have been told by male thru-hikers, some women fair much better on the long distance treks than men do; something about how the difference in metabolisms allows the gals to remain overall healthier than the guys. I am sometimes envious of your side for these reasons! And you hate us? : )

SOUTH KINGSTOWN — "We stayed at a high level," deadpanned Tom "Saar" Sorrentine as his St. Raphael Academy players were hooting and hollering in the adjacent room.
In the same breath Sorrentine, donning a championship hat, added, "You could never relax."
That in a nutshell summarizes SRA's journey back to the top of the Rhode Island high school basketball mountain. The opposition tried its best to rattle the Saints, but when it mattered most, Sorrentine's crew rose to the occasion.
A Tiverton outfit that had bulldozed every Division I team in its playoff path ran into an opponent that was more interested in making history than becoming another notch on the Tigers' belt. Saturday night belonged to St. Raphael, which can officially call itself a true state champion after nailing down a gritty, hard-fought win at URI's Ryan Center, 58-47. The game was tight throughout with the Saints clinging to a 46-45 lead with 2:19 remaining. SRA responded by surging toward the finish line, outscoring Tiverton by a 12-2 count the rest of the way.
Charles Correa served as the primary catalyst, scoring 15 of his game-high 21 points in the second half on his way to being named MVP of the 16-team state tournament and the Saints' most outstanding player in the title tilt.
"I'm only a sophomore, so this is big for me," smiled Correa, a replica net draped around his neck. "I was happy when they called my name. Plus I got the net too! It was crazy!"
The championship is St. Raphael's first since a run of four consecutive titles ended in 2002. In the near-decade that followed the Saints watched as Bishop Hendricken transformed itself into the state's dominant hoops power. The Hawks' run of seven consecutive Division I titles came to an end last week against Tiverton, an upstart club whose memorable march toward the final game also consisted of wins against La Salle and Central.
"We knew we had a good squad at the beginning of the year," said Sorrentine, who was bombarded with congratulatory handshakes during his postgame assessment.
Junior Cesar Mejia got it done on both ends of the floor with 13 points and 17 rebounds. He earned additional praise from Sorrentine after the St. Raphael swingman grounded Tiverton center Ben Bergandy in the second half. Bergandy compiled 15 points and shot 8-of-8 from the foul line in the first half as the Tigers took a 24-19 lead into halftime. The second stanza was an entirely different matter as Mejia and the Saints completely took Bergandy out of the picture (no made baskets and one missed free throw).
"He was getting the ball and making plays and getting to the foul line," said Mejia about what led to the decision of him bodying Bergandy straight up. "We didn't want him to even catch the ball because the whole offense was coming through him."
While Bergandy cooled off, Gunnar Bjornson, Tiverton's other primary scoring threat, shook off a zero-point first half – sharing the credit for the sounds of silence there were senior Jazz Robinson and junior Terrence Manning – to finish with 15 points on three field goals and nine free throws. Making sure that Bergandy and Bjornson were not in sync simultaneously was one of Sorrentine's chief worries coming in. The Tigers' duo teamed up for 66 points in Friday's 77-74 double overtime verdict against Central.
"They played outstanding defense the entire game," was the tip of the cap offered by Tiverton head coach Gerry Arcouette. "Whether it was Gunnar or Ben, they made it difficult for the two of them to get their points. That's a credit to Saar and those kids."
Saturday's game followed the same script of previous SRA playoff contests, all of which ended in triumphant fashion. The Saints spent most of the first half struggling to find their bearings, this despite routinely creating multiple-shot possessions against the Tigers' smaller frontline.
"We talked at halftime (Friday against North Providence) that (the Ryan Center) is not a shooter's court for us. We're not going to make shots like we would back in our own gym," said Sorrentine, who charted 13 missed layups in the opening 16 minutes. "We had to take it to the hoop."
The second half saw St. Raphael abandon its trigger-happy ways in favor of attacking the rim. That played right into Correa's hands. He along with Mejia and Trevor Vasey helped key a strong start as the Saints took their first lead (32-30) since midway through the first half on a layup by Mejia.
Things continued to look up for St. Raphael, especially when Correa ducked under the taller Bjornson for a scoop shot and a 40-34 advantage with 6:50 remaining. Tiverton's deficit grew to eight before summoning whatever energy it had left for one final push. Keep in mind the Tigers took the floor barely 24 hours removed from what had to have been a draining affair with the Knights.
Bjornson helped inch the Tigers to within one after crashing in for a hoop and a free throw. At that point it seemed this game was destined to go down to the wire, a fitting end to a tournament that saw numerous close calls. St. Raphael, however, had other ideas. Baskets by Davon Robertson (eight points, eight rebounds) and Correa extended SRA's lead to 50-45, the scores coming after a Tiverton turnover and a miss from deep by Bjornson.
St. Raphael's fans could start to sense something special was afoot after Correa drained two free throws with 55 ticks to play. Tiverton continued to misfire and SRA continued to make foul shots, capping off a brilliant finish to a memorable postseason ride.
"They wanted it," said Sorrentine. "They were thinking about the game the whole ride down."
