Read an Excerpt
The tunnel remained silent. The only sign of life was the hollow sound of the command as it echoed through the dark void.
"Ibara!" the tall knight cried again, louder, as if that might make a difference. He knew it wouldn't. The tunnel to infinity ignored his plea. He hadn't expected this, though he'd feared something was wrong long before the flume went deaf. It struck him the last time he'd spoken with Bobby Pendragon.
Alder, the Traveler from Denduron, stood alone in the mouth of the flume on the territory of Quillan, wondering what had happened. Why wasn't the flume working? What had his friend done? When Alder left Pendragon on Ibara, he sensed that the lead Traveler was keeping something from him. Pendragon had a plan. Pendragon always had a plan. For some reason he hadn't wanted to share it. Alder sensed it at the time, but didn't question. Now he wished he had. He knew in his heart that Bobby Pendragon had done something to prevent him from returning to Ibara. But why? Only Pendragon had that answer, and Pendragon was on Ibara. Isolated. Unreachable.
"What have you done, my friend?" Alder muttered to no one.
The knight felt as if there was only one thing he could do. Go home. That's where Pendragon would look for him when he was needed. If he was needed.
"Denduron!" Alder shouted into the tunnel. He held his breath, fearful that the flume would continue to ignore his commands and leave him stranded on an alien territory.
It didn't. The flume growled to life. The tunnel began to writhe like a monstrous snake working out the kinks after a long nap. Alder heard the comforting sound of the rocks cracking and grinding against one another. The flume still worked. It was only the route to Ibara that was closed. A pin spot of light appeared in the distance, transforming the dull gray rocks into clear crystal as it came to sweep him up for his journey home. Alder braced himself. The light grew bright. The jumble of musical notes that always accompanied a Traveler's journey grew louder. Alder felt the gentle tug of energy that would pull him in and send him on his way.
He had come to Quillan on a simple mission: to return four weapons to their original territory. They were six-foot-long metal rods. Dado killers. Bobby didn't want them on Ibara. He wanted to purge that territory of all technology from other territories. Alder got the weapons back with no problem.
If somebody asked him why he'd changed his mind at that moment, he wouldn't know how to answer. Maybe it was the instinct of a warrior. Maybe it was the fear of the unknown. Maybe it was confusion over the fact that once again things weren't happening the way he expected them to. Maybe it was all of the above. No matter. The instant before he was swept into the flume, Alder had bent down and grabbed back the four dado-killing weapons. He wanted them on Denduron. Just in case.
A moment later he was on his way.
As he traveled through the flume he gazed out of the crystal tunnel to the star field beyond. The ghostly images of Halla that had been appearing in space had become so dense it was difficult to make out any single one. Alder caught glimpses of screaming rockets, marching armies, and crumbling buildings. Enormous toothy sharks soared through a pack of vicious snarling animals that were imposed over massive, sand-swept pyramids. Alder didn't recognize or understand most of the stunning images. He was a simple knight from a small farming village. But he understood chaos. Seeing the spectacular fury of these impressions in space made him fear that in spite of their many victories, the Travelers' battle to save Halla was not over. Not even close.
They had taken a bold chance on Ibara. They knew that mingling the territories went against the laws of what was meant to be, but they saw no other way to save Ibara. Saint Dane had amassed an enormous army of dados from Quillan to attack the village of Rayne. Without the help of the Travelers, it would have been a slaughter. Ibara would have been crushed and any hope of salvaging Veelox would have been destroyed along with it. Pendragon and the Travelers chose to take a stand. There was no weapon or resource that existed on Ibara that could have stopped Saint Dane's army. For that they looked to Denduron. Alder's home.
They called it tak. It was a reddish, claylike mineral found deep underground. It was deadly. It was explosive. Pendragon, Alder, and the Traveler from Ibara, named Siry, unearthed enough of the volatile material to use as a weapon against the dados. The result was as effective as it was frightening. The army of dados was obliterated along with most of the village of Rayne. Still, the Travelers had won. Ibara was saved. Saint Dane had been turned back once again. Pendragon and the Travelers felt certain the decision to use tak was the right one, for Saint Dane's quest to control Halla had been crushed.
Yet the images in space remained. Halla was still in turmoil. Seeing the chaotic images among the stars made Alder wonder if they had done the right thing after all. Did they truly win on Ibara? If so, how steep was the price? He tried to force those dark thoughts from his head. Alder took pride in being a problem solver. Worrying didn't solve problems. He knew he had to move on and be ready to do battle if the time came again. When the time came again. It was what he did best. He turned his thoughts toward home. Denduron. It was the first territory where Pendragon and the Travelers had battled Saint Dane. It was their first victory. After the horror of the war on Ibara, he looked forward to returning to the now peaceful territory.
The sweet musical notes grew louder, warning him that he was almost home. He twisted himself upright as he flew on the warm cushion of air, ready to be deposited at the gate on Denduron. Alder smiled. He needed a rest and hoped that his duties as a Bedoowan knight would allow for a little downtime.
It was at that moment that he caught one last image floating in the sea of space. It was a fleeting image of a large group of darkskinned men holding up spears, waving them angrily. The image caught his eye because it was familiar. The men were tall and thin. Each one was as bald as the next. They wore thick leather armor that was distinctly purple. Alder recognized them. They were a primitive tribe that lived on the far side of the mountain from where his village lay on Denduron. They were a peaceful people. Seeing them waving spears, wearing armor, and chanting angrily was disturbing. What could it mean? The image was gone as quickly as he registered it, swallowed up by the vision of a silver dygo machine from Zadaa. In Alder's mind, the image of the angry armed tribe remained. He knew it wasn't a good omen.
Seconds later Alder was standing in the familiar cave that was the gate to the flume on Denduron. His teeth began to chatter. He was freezing. No big surprise. The gate on Denduron was near the peak of a snowy mountain, and Alder still wore the lightweight, tropical clothing from Ibara. He quickly dropped the dado rods and changed into the warm, leather uniform of a Bedoowan knight. It felt good to be home. At the mouth of the cave was the small sled he would ride down the snow-covered mountain to his village below. He pulled the vehicle out of the cave and onto the snow, squinting against the bright light from the three suns of Denduron. He waited a few seconds to let his eyes adjust. He filled his lungs with cold air. It felt good. Ibara was much too warm for his taste. After a few blissful seconds his eyes adjusted enough for him to make out detail.
He wished they hadn't. What he saw made his blood run cold, and it had nothing to do with the temperature. A field of untracked snow spread out before him. Jutting from the snow were several yellow spikes. They looked like gnarly, pointed rocks that were thick at the base and came to sharp points. Alder knew they weren't rocks.
"No," he gasped.
The quigs were back, lying beneath the snow, guarding the flumes. The rocky points were spikes that ran along their spines. Alder wasn't afraid of dealing with a quig-bear. He had battled them before. What terrified him was that they were there at all. Quigs existed on territories where Saint Dane was active. On Denduron the Travelers had beaten the demon, and the quigs had not been seen since.
Until then.
Alder didn't stop to wonder what it might mean. He wanted to be out of there. Without a moment more of hesitation, he picked up his sled and dashed across the snow. He picked a route that was clear of quig spines, threw the sled down, and jumped aboard. Belly down. Head first. The small sled was primitive, but fast. It was made from carved wood, with slick runners that slipped across the snow like skis. In no time he was gathering speed, heading down the steep field of snow. He risked a quick glance back to see if he had disturbed any quigs. None of them moved. It was small consolation. Why had they come back? What was happening on Denduron?
Alder negotiated the snow field expertly, flying down the mountainside while steering past towering boulders of ice. The lower he dropped, the more patchy the snow became. He was soon skirting stretches of dirt and grass. He stayed on the snow as long as possible before his runners scraped rock, forcing him to give up his ride. He sat up and dug his feet in to stop, climbed off the sled, and stood to look down the mountain toward the village below.
What he saw made him fall to his knees. He couldn't help himself. It was as if his legs had turned to rubber. Down below, on the vast grassy field that stretched between the Milago village and the seaside ruins of the Bedoowan castle, Alder saw an army of Bedoowan knights, dressed in full armor, lined up in tight formation.
Battle formation.
The Bedoowan knights were preparing for war.
The territory had changed.
"What has happened?" he gasped to nobody.
As much as he needed it, there would be no rest for the Traveler from Denduron.
He wanted Pendragon to be there. He needed Pendragon to be there. But Bobby Pendragon was still on the territory of Ibara.
Alone. Isolated

RAVEN RISE is a wonderful addition to the PENDRAGON series. It is just as exciting as the rest and keeps you wanting more. I had a hard time putting it down and there is no way that I will not be purchasing the next one so I can find out what happens next!
RAVEN RISE is about a Traveler named Bobby Pendragon. Now eighteen, his struggle to save Halla is harder than ever, and everything he's ever done has come down to this. He must save Halla from an extremely evil man, Saint Dane, who is trying to merge all of the worlds into one. Saint Dane is not only trying to mix territories, which is something that Travelers are not supposed to do, but he is also trying to create the perfect group of people who will follow under him. What will he do with the "not perfect" people? He will take care of them. Saint Dane plans on controlling all of Halla, and he will decide what he thinks is right for the people of the territories. He believes he is doing right by deciding people's destinies for them and not letting them make their own decisions. Pendragon, on the other hand, thinks that people should make the decisions of their lives on their own. The battle is on in RAVEN RISE. The battle for Halla. The internal battle of Bobby Pendragon. The battle of the people of the territories. And the battle between Saint Dane and Pendragon. This is what it is all coming down to. |
In Pendragon: Raven Rise, you will find action and adventure around every corner. Pendragon is a series of books '10 in all' and Raven Rise is the ninth one. This series of books is about a boy named Bobby Pendragon who finds out he has to save the universe from an evil demon named Saint Dane. He is not happy about this though, as it came to a surprise to him. One day his Uncle Press shows up and tells him some people need help. Turns out that is definitely an understatement. His uncle brings him to an abandoned subway station and tells him to go on the train tracks, find a door, and yell ¿Denduron.¿ This series is recommended for 12 and older. The author uses very difficult words to keep this story very interesting. He puts a lot of detail into important parts like where Bobby¿s friend Alder blows up the tak mine. The books are usually very long, but trust me, it¿s worth it. If you read the first book, then you will get into the Pendragon series really fast. Pendragon is a science fiction/ fantasy series. Bobby has to go to other worlds called ¿territories,¿ like Denduron, Zadaa, or Eelong, and he has to stop his nemesis, Saint Dane, from creating chaos on the territories. Each territory is different. Like Third Earth, for example, is the future, Second Earth is the present, and First Earth is the past. Most teens will want to read this book and series. I recommend that people ages 12 and up read this, since most kids won¿t understand some of the words. Trust me, once you start reading Pendragon, you won¿t put the book down.
I loved this book series!!!! Even though I am only 12 years old this is the best book series that I have personally read!!!!
This "penultimate" Pendragon is every bit as action-packed as its predecessors. (Like that alliteration?) Our favorite characters found themselves in all sorts of jeopardy, and the ending left me frustrated and wondering what in Halla MacHale has planned for these people we've come to know and love. I guess if his goal was to cause the reader to go bonkers itching for the next installment, he's certainly accomplished that here.
Absorbing. Can't wait for the next book in the series
I have always enjoyed the Pendragon series and by reading the first fifty pages of the ninth installment i can already tell that it is my favorite. It is a very casual read and one of the few books I can read for entertaining purposes. I greatly enjoyed the books when I was younger but after starting to read this edition to the series I feel as if I have outgrown the books. I still enjoyed the read but not as much as I used to. On a further note I highly recomend this series to any young adult hungry for action and adventure on every page. It is an easy read and and addicting from the very first page. DJ Mchale does a fantastic job describing the plot in detail and his creativity is unmatched.
Stop giving away the endings of the books. What if someone looked at your review who hadnt read the book yet. They might be disappointed at you for ruining the end for them. :(
In Pendragon book 9 Bobby is starting his new life on Ibara. But as Bobby starts to get comfortable on Ibara he realizes that Saint Dane is at it again, creating a new flume for him to escape in. Bobby them realizes that the trusted Tello is really Nevva Winter. Will Bobby ever redeem his spot as a Traveler or crack under pressure?
This book is the last of the Pendragon series..i would say this is one of the best series i have ever read..im so glad i found it and got to enjoy and experience Pendragon..
Pendragon: Raven Rise, by D.J. MacHale, is an action-packed, suspenseful, work of fiction. The only fault I had about it is that it wasn¿t longer! It is about a teenager named, Bobby Pendragon. In an average day, he saves all of humanity from destruction. Bobby was chosen by an unknown force, to become a traveler. A traveler¿s job is to save different territories from an evil-demon named Saint Dane. Bobby and the other ten travelers are losing, though. In the ninth book of Bobby¿s adventure, read all about Bobby¿s struggle against Saint Dane. Who knows, if bobby loses you may wake up one day and things could be very different.
this is the ninth book in the pendragon seris and one of the best of them
These books are for the one that like a never ending Adventure, for the ones stuck on the cover always remember that don't judge a book by it cover. These books are great, exciting, and leave you feeling like you are on the edge. The books are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
The ending was great. i cant wait to find out what happens next
The morals in this story that MacHale has portrayed in this exciting story are amazing. How he delivers these morals is incredible. This is the best book in the series, and my favorite book that I have ever read. I thought about the amazing adventure stories I've read since I've been born. This one is truly the best. Now Pendragon fans can truly state, without a doubt, that this series is better than Harry Potter. This is the true coming of age fantasy-adventure book series. The ending was truly a gift to all who have followed this series from the start. And the best part about it is, there is still one more book left. I've been reading this series since a month after the release date of Pendragon 1: The Merchant of Death. I never thought that it would reach this level. MacHale has truly grown as a writer. This book proves that. I will remember this series as a classic forever.
Very nice read that includes action, adventure & the difference between good & evil & their consequences.
This series is better than most, but not all. I think Harry Potter as well as Percy Jacson and Heroes of Olympus are still better. But anyways, the battle over Halla is really heating up here. Bobby might as well be lost and clueless about what he should do to save Halla. Read the book to find out. In the last book there will be a pleseant supprise for Bobby waitng..... READ ON!!!!!!!!!
I listened to this on audiobook and it drove me crazy! Every step closer to the Convergence keeps you on the edge of your seat. Saint Dane is a good villain, not exactly predictable as some can be. Once you're done here, GO get the last one!
This book was AMAZING!!!!!!! I got it on my nook and i loved it. If you read this series you will get so wrapped up in it that you won't be able to stop reading. I am so excited to get the next book in the series, The Soldiers Of Halla. But I'm also sad that there is only 1 book left in the series. I would say this book was one of the best ones in the series. PENDRAGON IS THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book (other than the Veloox story) is my favorite out of all these Pendragon books. Truely awesome can't wait fr pat 10!!!
When i read raven rise i not only learned that saint dane wants to take over halla but beat bobby pendragon in the the war that thy created in book 1.
This is the book that i wanto read and #10

Criminal Offenses in Children's Books: The Important Life Lesson
5 comments:
I have a children's book "Fern Valley" which is a collection of twelve short stories. There are lessons or morals gently and subtly woven in to the stories but it doesn't seem to have discouraged anyone from reading my book. I had one mother tell me that her daughter cried when she got to the last story because she didn't want them to end. I had one girl from the "National Geographic Kids - Dog Eared Book Blog" review my book and mention that she read it twice. I had a grandmother tell me that her formerly reluctant reader granddaughter now has a sense of self esteem and a belief that she could do anything after reading my book. And, I had one girl e-mail me and tell me she gave my book five stars because it was the best book ever written. So perhaps it's not if a book has lessons, but how well the main characters (which are children in my stories)handle each situation.

Ed Doesn't Get It
14 comments:
I wasn't really expecting Labour to swoop in and save us but I confess the tenor of the entire speech was much worse over all than I could ever have predicted for those of us with disabilities.
In some ways I feel fortunate. I don't have anyone depending on me (no children or spouse). I am, pretty much, an island. If I go down in this "brave f*cking new world" then it won't harm anyone else. And I've kind of reached my peace with the fact that I'm probably going to end it all when it just becomes too impossible to carry on. I'm sort of fine with it.
I'll carry on doing what I do until I no longer can. Not thinking too much about tomorrow.
I'm f'ing furious about the appalling treatment to come of those I'll leave behind, though.- Anonymous27 September 2011 at 22:23
absolutely spot on,Ed Milliband is the same as the others.Can't tell the difference between partys,he is no socialist for the people or his brother! indicative of character.The morality is missing from all politicians it seems especially the inadequate people we have got in parliament.How have we arrived at this in a country with a proud reputatio for democracy?Have we become complacent ?Now we face losing true freedom of speech with men in suits telling lie after lie after lie,cutting jobs and devastating lives under a false pretext of debt deficit.The money is still there,investigate who has it.look into who is in control,find out if it is fair and so on.Not one single politico has the guts to be open and truthful,they court money and power and wealth and that is their sole mercenary aim in life.Not forgetting it is the hard working public's money! We want leadership that cares,tells truths,admits wrongs,penalises the real mick takers and wealthy cheats and does not punish the weak who have done nothing wrong.Power is the name of the game, Anything goes in orde to court votes,their inane waffle does not fool the public and never will it means.There is no labour party!

Absoloutely brillant summary David. Spot on. Thank you.
Lex. Talking about socially deviant, how about logically deviant?
""We need a new bargain."" (he says)
Well yes we do. We USED to have a bargain that said if you work and pay national insurance contributions but then become too ill or disabled to work full time, you will receive Incapacity Benefit to supplement your income until you either a) get better or b) retire. And we had that one right up until the Labour government abolished Incapacity Benefit out from under us.
But we can trust you to honour THIS bargain, right..?- Anonymous28 September 2011 at 14:03
What a brilliant post. Thank you for doing this. You're still the place I link to when I get exhausted to inarticulacy of trying to convince people what an enormous disaster Britain's welfare policy is... and that which would replace it if Labour got in.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous28 September 2011 at 20:35
All I can say is vote green they seem to be the only ones who truely care. This is from their manifesto We believe in repealing the oppressive Welfare Reform Act (2009) as a prequel to supporting people through lifelong development for their own well being. We want to provid more short breaks to families,
including disabled people or those with
long-term illnesses. Such early intervention
schemes have been shown to save money
by preventing crises. This goes on and on, they are truely for the people and their manifesto is costed so it's not all speach. Just look at what they've done in Brighton and Norfolk. - Anonymous29 September 2011 at 14:21
So that's it then, this world doesn't want me in it any more.
ReplyDelete Spot on David... this is the one I'll be throwing at the Labour Loyalists.... esp the disablists fronting think tanks spouting tabloid-fuelled divisive spin trying to convince me on Twitter that I'm wrong about what they have done and continue to do to us. Party loyalty at any costs - especially the truth. EdM wants Tory votes... well he's got the praises of the Torygraph so is seemingly well on his way with that.

I have it: 26 I had it: 4 I want it: 4
Brut Revolution was launched in 2006 as a fresh woody – aquatic fragrance made of pear, green and marine notes, black pepper, patchouli, musk and moss. The nose behind this fragrance is Yves Cassar.
Perfume rating: 3.56 out of 5 with 22 votes.

The scent is nice, it's real masculine but not in an overpowering or offensive way. This cologne falls flat on its face when it comes to longevity and sillage and it shocked me when I realized this because I figured that if it's a Brut cologne it would hit and hit strong. Honestly this would be a fantastic cologne if it lasted longer I just can't recommend buying something that you would have to drown in to smell it after an hour and a half.
You know the guy, he douses himself with some beast-mode projecting cologne, walks in a room, and you can smell his scent from across the way...
...you won't be that guy with Brut Revolution. I have aftershaves that last longer, project further.
Too bad, because it's a fairly pleasant aquatic.
A revolution? Certainly not one of any lasting significance. Let's call it a small uprising later put down by force by my legions; with the obligatory executions to follow. The deodorant stick for this is a bargain basement gem at Dollar Tree, the actual spray cologne? Well, better get your nose on it quick and early, this stuff disappears quickly within an hour or two. What you get is pleasing enough, if nothing altogether unique or groundbreaking. It's mostly an oceanic breeze supplemented by a hint of airy musk and spice complimented by a subtle and fruity pear note that stays very soft on the skin with 2-3 sprays and doesn't develop beyond its opening salvo.
It was a great idea by Brut (necessitated by declining sales numbers) at the time to step out of its baby boomer core audience and follow the trends down the aquatic trail to financial gain, backed by a very respectable chemist in Yves Cassar; but only the body wash and deodorant stick proved noteworthy. Within a year of launch Brut's leadership had already decided to go in a different direction marketing wise and the product was left to the bargain bins.
Best used for spring and summer sport in the early mornings and evenings, doesn't have the longevity for work or a night out.
Scent: 3/5
Longevity: 1/5
Sillage: 1.5/5
Overall Quality: 2.5/5
Sooners has already written the definitive review here. Longevity on Brut's Revolution is absolutely abysmal, even when paired with the Aftershave I never get more than 30-45 minutes and that's after 25+ wears. The top is a nice blend of pear and pepper and a hint of green that quickly gets overtaken by the dominant sea water note and never develops further for the brief time it stays on the skin. The base notes are indistinguishable and honestly non-existent. Incredibly inoffensive and very pleasing to new noses and beginners, a great fragrance for those who don't like fragrances or are just starting out.
You are much better off going out to the Dollar Store and getting yourself the deodorant for $1, it goes extremely well with most aquatic fragrances and outlasts the edt by 4-5 hours. You'll also get a little more of a dose of woods and better balance in the deodorant release.
I can't get any longevity or distance out of this spray, even after drenching myself in it. A major dud in longevity and sillage (30-50 minutes), Brut Revolution was a great idea but was poorly executed by Yves Cassar, who to his credit must have been under incredible budget constraints to make a cheap EDT for Walmart shelves and drugstores to compete with Old Spice, Aqua Velva, etc.
Discontinued. Works better as a glorified splash on Aftershave.
Yep, I too got it at Big Lots, $4 for 2.5 ounces. Not a bad fragrance at this price point. However, its longevity is lacking. I decided to move on from this fragrance and gave it to my 16 year old son. He seems to like it!
Opens with lots of pepper and some pear, but settles down to a pleasant marine scent. The base notes are very subtle at best.
It's great for Summer, shorts & flip flops, casual, and day wear.
If you can get it for < $5, consider giving it a try.
I paid $5 for this at Big Lots. Picked it up while standing in line. The two previous reviews are right on.
For this much money it is actually a rather pleasant scent.
Seems like a aqua-like vetiver to me.
Linear, does not change from beginning to end.
smell nice, cool, ideal for use during the day

Numerical simulation of tee
Tell me please how to make a numerical simulation of tee or junction of two pipes for the equations
http://www.astro.uu.se/~bf/course/nu...urse/img97.png |
Can you explain the variables please? The notation, if it's in the standard format, doesn't make physical sense to me. At the very least, there are a list of assumptions above that you'd need to elaborate on.
adrin |
This is ordinary 1d euler equations.
rho - density v - velocity P - pressure eik - internal energy I did like in this article http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jam/2010/407648/ But I need a solution for shock tube. |
Ah, I see; a tee would be at least a 2-D problem, and the notation v for velocity (instead of u) threw me off into thinking that you're trying to solve a 2D problem with a (wrong) 1D equation.
So, basically, with a tee you have to break up the geometry into 3 "pipe" segments, each of which would solve the 1D partial differential equation with its own boundary and initial conditions; and the three solutions connected at the "tee point", by making sure they share the same density, pressure, energy, etc. By the way, you are missing a constitutive relationship between density and pressure (or something similar). There are 4 variables and 3 equations. For each pipe section "i", you'd have to discretize the pipe length L_i into N_i discrete points and write the differential equation in its finite difference form. The discretization is not that difficult and can be found in any basic applied numerical analysis. You have to sit down and write out the formulation; collect the like terms; combine them at the tee section to end up with a system of equations to solve. That's more than is warranted on this forum adrin |

There are major drawbacks comparing to > 1.1 according to secure connections. I originally tried the HTTP 1.0 connector because there was (and maybe still is) a page on either the Cocoon or Tomcat site indicating that Cocoon would run faster with this connector. When I tried it the difference was like night and day. Unfortunately I didn't have time to investigate why, but I took the existence of a message on the site as an indication that it was a known issue probably without an easy workaround. > Do you use any HTTP proxies or complex DNS settings This slows down HTTP > 1.1 > connections. I don't think so, but could you elaborate a little on why this makes a difference - or point me to some documentation that mentions this? Does HTTP 1.1 carry out DNS lookups that don't happen with HTTP 1.0? What would represent a complex DNS setting? My apologies if I'm asking something obvious, HTTP specs are not my strong point!

If the districts had one thing in common, it was that no one was dancing in the streets. There was relief that something at last was about to move, but it takes more than Madeleine Albright playing what she fetchingly called an American "handmaiden" to disperse the suspicions of half a century. Jews and Arabs are still trying to fathom Israel's tenacious new Prime Minister, Ehud Barak.
"Every step is one-sided," grumbled Aharon Ringwald, locking his watchmaker's shop in Ben-Yehuda Street on the Jewish side of town. "It can only work to the Palestinians' advantage. They haven't kept any agreement they've signed, right from the beginning. They don't recognise our right to be in this land. They would still like to drive us out. And we're making it easier for them."
His neighbour, Herzl Muthada, had mixed feelings. "We give, but we don't get," he said outside his flower shop, overflowing with bronze, purple and white chrysanthemums, Michaelmas daisies and stately gladioli. "But it's too soon to know whether we're going to fare better under Barak. We have to wait - and give him credit."
Avi Ben, a wine merchant, had more faith in his Prime Minister. "Barak's done an excellent job," he argued. "He's playing tough, and it's working. It's the same in the way he handles his coalition. He's somebody with balls. It's important that he's strong, that he's a leader. That's how he has to be."
In Cafe Atara, the manageress, Yehudit Levisohn, was cautiously pleased with the deal. "We have to aim for peace," she insisted, "but I hope Barak will do it in the right way, even if it takes time." Two years ago, Ms Levisohn was wounded by a Hamas suicide bombing outside the cafe. "I'm sure," she added, "crazy people will continue to cause problems, but we mustn't let them succeed."
Yair Baruch, an 18-year-old waiting to start his three years' national service, had no reservations. "This agreement," he said, "is a good move for both sides. What's important is to create a better atmosphere. If there is an atmosphere of welcoming peace, that should work. The details are less important.
"Barak's already proving better than Bibi Netanyahu," he added. "Netanyahu wasn't consistent, so nobody trusted him. Barak is trying to do just the opposite."
Across town in Saladin Street, Wahib Tarazi, an Arab vet, was less confident. "At least we're getting something," he acknowledged. "But the Palestinian street won't be satisfied that they're only freeing 350 prisoners. It's ridiculous that we're making peace, and our prisoners are still in jail."
What did he make, I asked, of Mr Barak? "Netanyahu was better," he retorted. "He presented the real face of Israel. They want to take everything, but they don't want to deal with the Palestinians as human beings. Barak is more pragmatic. We all know how it's going to end. There'll be a Palestinian state. So why is he making it take so much longer than necessary?"
We met in a bookshop, where Mr Tarazi was looking for an Arabic-French dictionary. I asked the woman behind the counter, a Christian Arab with a cross hanging from her neck, what she thought of the peace agreement. "What peace?" she simpered. "What agreement?"

Stone Age hunter-gatherers used fire to shape environment
Published on January 15th, 2013 | by Admin
0The researchers have visited the site for the past two summers. On their most recent trip they found charcoal and hazelnut shells.
They believe this indicates fire was used to encourage the growth of plants, such as hazelnuts, crab apples and raspberries, all which were eaten at the site.
The university archaeology department head, Prof Martin Bell, said the Severn Estuary was exceptional in its evidence of the plants used by Mesolithic people, thousands of years before farming began.

You would have thought Congress was about to hear from a top al-Qaida operative or maybe a mafia kingpin, what with all the accusatory statements and self-righteous indignation being flaunted by members of Congress. But no, an august congressional committee was gathered together to waste the taxpayers' time and money interrogating a baseball player, seven-time Cy Young award-winning pitcher Roger Clemens.

Undergraduate Catalog 2016-2017
Welcome Site Map Past Catalogs Other Resources Search
The minor in Planetary Sciences will provide students with a broad understanding of the application of the methods of astronomy and geology to the study of the Solar System, and develop the students' appreciation of how issues in the study of planets connect with larger issues in those sciences. It is intended for all students with an interest in the study of the Solar System, be it professional or avocational. In addition to Astronomy and Geology majors, it dovetails with the professional goals of Environmental Science and Policy, Environmental Science and Technology, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Sciences, and Secondary Education majors. Building on a three-course base of fundamental knowledge of astronomy, geology and an introduction to the Solar System, the program is completed by three advanced courses addressing specific topics adding depth to the student's knowledge of planetary astronomy and to the geologic tools of the planetary scientist. Students are required to sample from optional courses from both departments. The Joint Minor in Planetary Sciences does not require significant prerequisite knowledge, however some optional courses may require prerequisites of 100-level courses in chemistry, mathematics, or geology. Courses required for the proposed minor are: REQUIRED: One of the following:
One of the following:
Plus three from the following: At least one choice must be from Geology and one from Astronomy. At least six credits from the list below and nine credits overall must be at the 300-400 level.
Depending on the optional course taken, there is a total of 19-22 required credits (see prerequisites). All courses presented for the minor must be passed with a grade of "C-" or better.

Coates, Vivien, Dromgoole, Paul, Turner, Eileen, Brown, Florence, Davies, Ruth, Lowes, Lesley, McDowell, Joan and Thompson, Kathryn (2009) Insulin initiation in adults: evidence based or context driven? Journal of Nursing and Healthcare of Chronic Illness, 1 (1). pp. 105-112. [Journal article]
Full text not available from this repository.
URL: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122196944/issue
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2702.2008.01011.x
Aim. To describe insulin initiation practices across the United Kingdom (UK) and identify factors influencing current practice.Background. The number of people commencing insulin therapy has escalated in recent years; due to increased incidence of diabetes and the evidence that improvements in glycaemic control can reduce and delay the onset of diabetic complications. However, the process of insulin initiation is not well described and the optimal way to start insulin therapy is unclear. There is currently a strong emphasis on moving diabetes care from secondary to primary care and this change in policy may also influence insulin initiation.Methods. A quantitative, cross-sectional, nationwide survey of diabetes specialist nurses (DSNs) and practice nurses (PNs) was completed in 2006. Data were gathered using a postal questionnaire, 1310 were returned (37·7% response rate).Results. Almost all DSNs working in secondary, or across primary and secondary, care initiate insulin in people with type 1 diabetes, but only 37·7% of DSNs working in primary care or 2·5% of PNs (p < 0·001). Most DSNs initiate insulin in adults with type 2 diabetes compared with only 37·7% of PNs (p < 0·001). Only 23·5% of respondents initiate insulin for those with gestational diabetes (GD), most working in secondary care (p < 0·001). The most commonly used insulin regimen was multiple injection in type 1 diabetes (43·9%), a twice-daily mixture (19·2%) and night only basal insulin (17·9%) in type 2 diabetes and multiple injection in GD (46·8%). Analogue insulins were more frequently used than non-analogues in type 1 and 2 diabetes but almost equally in those with GD.Conclusion. Despite the drive for much more diabetes care to be delivered in primary care insulin initiation remains largely the province of secondary care, and regardless of the contested nature of the evidence base, analogue insulins are widely used.Relevance to clinical practice. The focus of this study was on one aspect of diabetes care (insulin initiation), however the findings illustrate that whilst policy relating to the care of people with a long-term condition such as diabetes may change, the practice implications in terms of community provision and availability of appropriate expertise are complex.

Union: Joakim Noah would not have been suspended under next CBA
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD-4033 was not banned by the current Collective Bargaining Agreement when it was enacted.
The next CBA will offer a new challenge policy for failed drug tests.
Perhaps Joakim Noah, whom the NBA suspended 20 games, just tested positively at the wrong time.
SARM LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) was added to the banned list after the current CBA was signed in 2011. The drug is also banned by the next CBA, which will take effect July 1.
But the next CBA would also allow Noah an opportunity to contest his suspension – which his union says he would have done successfully..
National Basketball Players Association:
"After a thorough investigation, the National Basketball Players Association believes that Joakim Noah did not intentionally or knowingly violate any policy of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Under the recently negotiated CBA effective July 1, a player's unintentional ingestion of a prohibited substance would be taken into consideration, and we believe the conduct here would not result in discipline. Unfortunately, the current CBA does not permit such consideration."
"Joakim was completely forthcoming and cooperative throughout the investigation and we believe that this isolated occurrence was a regrettable mistake. Joakim has offered his deepest apologies for this infraction, and neither he nor the NBPA will pursue an appeal."
Unlike the current CBA, the new CBA allows a player to challenge a suspension if he "did not know or suspect, and could not reasonably have known or suspected, even with the exercise of considerable caution and diligence, that he was taking, ingesting, applying, or otherwise using" the drug. He must also establish how the drug entered his system.
That's obviously a high burden. The CBA even defines it as an "unusual circumstance."
Could Noah have presented such convincing evidence? Maybe, but it's far easier to make that claim in a statement than actually convince an arbitrator.
Stephen Curry with touchdown pass to Andre Iguodala, who finishes with reverse lay-up (VIDEO)
The 49ers may want to give Stephen Curry a call, because I'm not sure Brian Hoyer can throw that pass.
Curry showed a soft touch on a touchdown pass over a defender to the streaking Andre Iguodala, who had to finish with the reverse layup, a little no-look flip. It was vintage Warriors, a little playground in transition.
The Warriors beat the Kings 114-100 behind 27 from Curry. With the win the Warriors are 2.5 games up on the Spurs for the best record in the West, but Golden State has a tough road back-to-back this week in Houston than San Antonio. Get at least a split there and the Warriors will be tough to catch.
LeBron James says he has scratched cornea, could sit Saturday vs. Wizards
With time running down in the third quarter, LeBron James went hard to the basket for a layup, and the shot was contested by Jeremy Lamb, who ended up poking LeBron in the eye on the play.
It isn't intentional, but it looks painful.
That blow could have LeBron sitting out Saturday night when the Cavaliers take on the Washington Wizards in Cleveland. From Joe Varden of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
LeBron James said he suffered a scratched cornea in his right eye in Friday's 112-105 win over Charlotte after being examined by a Hornets team physician.
James, who scored 32 points in 40 minutes, could not keep his right eye open during his postgame interview session and said his vision was blurry… Summing it all up, James said "if coach decides to give me a game off (Saturday), it's not because I'm resting. It's because I'm banged up."
He was treated by the Hornets' team doctor who administered eye drops, but the Cavaliers will make the call closer to game time depending on how LeBron is feeling.
The Cavaliers are 0-6 without LeBron this season. They also have just a one-game lead over the Celtics for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. (Boston beat Phoenix on Friday, despite Devin Booker dropping 70, and they have a key game with the Heat on Sunday.) That said, the Cavaliers are two games up in the loss column on the Celtics, which is a decent lead, but the Cavs need to start winning consistently.
And beating a hot Washington team will not be easy even with LeBron.
NBA reacts to Suns' Devin Booker dropping 70 on Celtics
Devin Booker was the story of the NBA Friday night.
The 20-year-old Suns' guard — who never scored more than 19 points in a game at Kentucky in college — dropped 70 on the Boston Celtics in a losing effort. He becomes only the sixth player in NBA history to score at least 70 in a game. At the end the Suns were fouling and calling time outs to stop the clock and get the ball back to Booker, but as Phoenix coach Earl Watson said to those who complained, "You got a problem with that? Do something. Simple as that."
NBA Twitter exploded at what Booker did.
Booker himself responded this way.

Despite the very substantial and continuing interest in women`s issues in Christianity and the ceaseless stream of publications for, by, and about Christian women, there has been astonishingly little about the early generations of female ascetics the Ammas of the desert. Swan`s fine accessible and scholarly work here should help to repair that lack. She includes not only a good overview of the ascetic background but also a fresh translation and commentary on the Ammas` known sayings, an account of lesser-known Ammas, and a calendar of feasts for the Ammas. An excellent starting-place for the study of women in religion, women in the Church, and asceticism, this is highly recommended. — The Library Journal © 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
In The Forgotten Desert Mothers, Laura Swan introduces readers to the sayings, lives, stories and spirituality of women in the early Christian desert and monastic movement, from the third century on. In doing so, she finally sets the record straight that women played an important and influential role in early Christianity, indeed a role that has been long overshadowed by men.
She begins with an exploration of the historical context and spirituality of the desert ascetics. Then she weaves together the sayings of the major desert ammas, or mothers, along with commentary that invites readers to reflect on their own spiritual journey as they share their wisdom. The book then journeys between desert, monastery and city to reveal the stories of ascetics and solitaries whose stories are rarely heard, organized in the author`s own alphabetical collection.
The Forgotten Desert Mothers demonstrates, like no other work, that women have long had a history of leadership in Christianity. This engaging, eye-opening and insightful work targets all faith seekers looking to reclaim the history and spirituality of the women who came before them, as well as to understand their own inner journey. It will be a welcome addition to courses on early church history, women`s studies and religious studies.

Persephone-Inspired Decorating
We wanted a fresh look and having already been down the road of taupe, greens and yellow we thought a blue/grey tone would make a nice change. Several years of rejoicing over the sophisticated yet tranquil colour of a Persephone book cover provided the inspiration for a place to start. We have since discovered that blue/grey is one of the hardest to nail down. There are so many undertones in that spectrum that you could paint your perfect colour one day and walk in the next morning to a lavender whip. A couple of disappointments over the years has taught us to ask the technician which colours are added and in what concentration. You wouldn't think that brown would be in a blue/grey shade but in some cases it is which makes the tone a bit 'muddier' so out goes that choice.
Finally deciding that Behr's, Skyline Steel, was our best bet it was time to get out the rollers. We love it! It's one of those chameleon colours that changes throughout the day depending on light and at night still looks fresh but cosy. If The Heiress ever graces our threshold again I hope she likes what we've done with her room. Now the search is on for drapery....
16 comments:
I love it! It's very pretty. And I can just picture you i the home improvement store, a Persephone in hand, comparing with those little paint swatches!
Love Verity's idea of a Virago green room as well. I'm currently in my study, where my Viragos are kept, and this room could certainly use a coat of paint. :)Stacy, I'm having visions of your parents waiting until you went out for the day and then running into your room with tape measures and paint chips! And how lovely to hear from you, it's been ages!
Verity, That is a very tempting idea because then it would free up some shelf space where they are now. I made myself laugh yesterday as my previous lovely border collie's urn matches the wall colour! It just wouldn't be right to use him as a decorative accessory though...
Laura, That's the problem with fresh new walls isn't it? Our bedroom is looking a bit tired now as well. Spring is the perfect time for a new look!
Cornflower, Thank you!
Audrey, Well all the best. We found typing the paint colour into Google brought up several decorating blogs with photos so give that a try. It definitely helped us to eliminate a few choices.
Desperate Reader, It's a tricky shade, sometimes we just had to walk away from the chips when our eyes couldn't decipher colour any more. All the best to you once you decide to get your paintbrushes out!
JoAnn, Thank you! I sent off a photo and phew...she likes it. But if she ever ends up in that room again there is to be NO posters and pins! That just might make the other spare room a bit more appealing...It's beautiful, Darlene! I hear you on the difficulty of picking the right blue/grey. I've had to go through the process three times now, for painting rooms in three different houses/apartments (I REALLY like blue), and I always go through so many samples trying to find the right shade. But it is always worth the effort for a stunning end result!

Warning: it seems the daughter can alway call the bed, I learned yesterday. And there's no time limit. She's declared she wants it for the third child, about to graduate from crib, so I am left with a bedless guest room.

Foxconn Second Former Executive Detained in Bribery Probe
Adela LinA former Foxconn Technology Group executive was detained yesterday by an order of a Taiwan judge, making him the second former employee ordered to be held in an investigation of bribe payments from suppliers.
The former executive, who had been free on bail, can be jailed as long as two months and investigators can seek a further two-month extension before filing any charges, Huang Mou-hsin, deputy chief prosecutor of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office said by phone today.
The Taipei-based maker of Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPads said last week it is cooperating in the probe conducted by Taiwanese authorities. Chinese authorities had arrested an executive in Shenzhen suspected of accepting bribes from suppliers, Taiwan's Next Magazine reported in January 2013.
Foxconn didn't immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment. The company said in a Jan. 21 statement it discovered breaches of its code of conduct in an internal investigation.
Penalties in the case may be light unless the corruption can be proved to have caused substantial damage to the company, Chang Chia-chun, a lawmaker who is advocating for tougher sentences in cases of corporate corruption, said by phone today.
Those found guilty of any illegal actions should be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Foxconn said earlier. The former executive joins an ex-colleague who has been detained since Jan. 22, after prosecutors successfully appealed his release on bail.
Two other former Foxconn employees accused of taking bribes were released on bail Jan. 22. Taiwan's Next Magazine reported last January that the case involved suppliers paying bribes to Foxconn employees responsible for purchasing surface-mount technology equipment and components worth tens of billion yuan in 2012.

Slip into this soft, flowing maxi dress from anthropologie ($168) for the ultimate in color and comfort. This two-toned salmon and tan dress looks great with flat T-strap or platform wedge sandals. Plus, you can't go wrong wearing an elasticized waist to an ice cream party!
One of our favorite reusable bag companies, Baggu, now offers leather bags ($120) in a range of summer colors. Choose from peppy colors like grapefruit, citron or mint. Made from super soft natural milled leather, these bags are a beautiful way to tote all your essentials — don't forget to toss in a pack of hand wipes for sticky faces and fingers!
The chevron craze isn't going away any time soon. Embrace the trend with this chevron stripe maxi dress from Gap ($75). This sexy summer dress has spaghetti straps that crisscross in back and a scoop neckline. Stripe choices include light and dark blue, green and white, pink and orange, navy and white, and our favorite, "lemonade stand" yellow and white.
If you'll be socializing in the afternoon sun, plan ahead and wear a wide-brim sun hat that provides plenty of shade. This floppy straw sun hat from Shop Ruche ($25) comes in a sweet pink color and features a sassy bow on the side. When wearing such a statement-making accessory, keep your outfit simple and dress in white shorts and your favorite tee or tank, like this drapeneck shell from Lands' End.
Try the neon trend with these AG Neon Stevie Ankle jeans ($158). This cute orange pair of cropped length jeans are a fun choice for a colorful summer party. They're super bright, so skip the color on top and go with a crisp white T-shirt and strappy sandals. Miniature creamsicle earrings are a fun touch.
Go for a flattering A-line skirt with a candy stripe. This red and white skirt from Old Navy ($27) reminds us of the awning of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Wear it with a white tank, denim jacket and a straw bag. Not only is this a great outfit for an ice cream social, but it's perfect for the Fourth of July too.
