La guerra de la limonada (The Lemonade War) by Jacqueline Davies, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble®
by Jacqueline Davies, Alma Flor Ada (Translator), Isabel Campoy (Translator)Jacqueline Davies
For a full hour, he poured lemonade. The world is a thirsty place, he thought as he nearly emptied his fourth pitcher of the day. And I am the Lemonade King. Fourth-grader Evan Treski is people-smart. He’s good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smart, but not especially good with people.
Evan lay on his back in the dark, throwing the baseball up in a straight line and catching it in his bare hands. Thwap. Thwap. The ball made a satisfying sound as it slapped his palm. His legs flopped in a V. His arms stretched up to the ceiling. And the thought that if he missed he’d probably break his nose made the game just interesting enough to keep going.On the floor above he heard footsteps—his mother’s—and then a long, loud scraping-groaning sound. He stopped throwing the ball to listen. His mother was dragging something heavy across the kitchen floor. Probably the broken air conditioner. A week ago, right at the beginning of the heat wave, the air conditioner in his mother’s attic office had broken. The man from Sears had installed a brand- new one but left the old one sitting right in the middle of the kitchen floor. The Treskis had been walking around it all week.Scra-a-a-ape. Evan stood up. His mom was strong, but this was a two- person job. Hopefully she wouldn’t ask him why he was hiding in the dark basement. And hopefully Jessie wouldn’t be in the kitchen at all. He’d been avoiding her for two days now, and it was getting harder by the minute. The house just wasn’t that big.Evan had his hand on the railing when the scraping noise stopped. He heard footsteps fading to silence. She’d given up. Probably the heat, he thought. It was that kind of weather: giving-up kind of weather. He went back to lying on the floor.Thwap. Thwap.Then he heard the basement door open. Psssshhh. Evan caught the ball and froze.“Evan?” Jessie’s voice sounded echo-y in the darkness. “Evan? You down there?”Evan held his breath. He lay completely still. The only thing that moved was the pins-and-needles prickling in his fingers.He heard the door start to close—long breath out—but then it stopped and opened again. Footsteps on the carpeted stairs. A black outline of Jessie standing on the bottom step with daylight squirting all around her. Evan didn’t move a muscle.“Evan? Is that you?” Jessie took one short step into the basement. “Is that . . . ? She inched her way toward him, then kicked him with her bare foot.“Hey! Watch it, would ya?” said Evan, swatting her leg. He suddenly felt stupid lying there in the dark.“I thought you were a sleeping bag,” she said. “I couldn’t see. What are you doing down here? How come the lights are off?”“It’s too hot with the lights on,” he said. He talked in a flat voice, trying to sound like the most boring person on the whole planet. If he kept it up, Jessie might just leave him alone.“Mom’s back in her office,” said Jessie, lying down on the couch. “Working.” She groaned as she said the word. Evan didn’t say anything. He went back to throwing the ball. Straight up. Straight down. Maybe silence would get Jessie to leave. He was starting to feel words piling up inside him, crowding his lungs, forcing out all the air. It was like having a chestful of bats, beating their wings, fighting to get out. “She tried to move the air conditioner, but it’s too heavy,” said Jessie.Evan tightened up his lips. Go away, he thought. Go away before I say something mean.“It’s gonna be hot a-a-a-all week,” Jessie continued. “In the nineties. All the way up ’til Labor Day.”Thwap. Thwap.“So, whaddya wanna do?” Jessie asked.Scream, thought Evan. Jessie never got it when you were giving her the Big Freeze. She just went right on acting as if everything were great. It made it really hard to tell her to bug off without telling her to BUG OFF! Whenever Evan did that, he felt bad.“So, whaddya wanna do?” Jessie asked again, nudging him with her foot.It was a direct question. Evan had to answer it or explain why he wouldn’t. And he couldn’t get into that. It was too . . . too complicated. Too hurtful.“Huh? So, whaddya wanna do?” she asked for the third time.“Doin’ it,” said Evan.“Nah, come on. For real.”“For real,” he said.“We could ride our bikes to the 7-Eleven,” she said.“No money,” he said.“You just got ten dollars from Grandma for your birthday.”“Spent it,” said Evan.“On what?”“Stuff,” Evan said.“Well, I’ve got . . . well . . . ” Jessie’s voice dribbled down to nothing. Evan stopped throwing the ball and looked at her. “What?”Jessie pulled her legs tight to her chest. “Nothin’,” she said.“Right,” said Evan. He knew that Jessie had money. Jessie always had money squirreled away in her lock box. But that didn’t mean she was going to share it. Evan went back to throwing the baseball. He felt a tiny flame of anger shoot up and lick his face.Thwap. Thwap.> “We could build a fort in the woods,” said Jessie.“Too hot.”“We could play Stratego.”“Too boring.”“We could build a track and race marbles.”“Too stupid!” A thin spider web of sweat draped itself over his foreheaddddd, spreading into his hair. With every throw, he told himself, It’s not her fault. But he could feel his anger growing. He started popping his elbow to put a little more juice on the ball. It was flying a good four feet into the air every time. Straight up. Straight down. Pop. Thwap. Pop. Thwap.The bats in his chest were going nuts.“What is the matter with you?” asked Jessie. “You’ve been so weird the last couple of days.”Aw, man, here they come. “I just don’t wanna play a dumb game like Stratego,” he said.“You like Stratego. I only picked that because it’s your favorite game. I was being nice, in case you hadn’t noticed.”“Look. There are only six days left of summer, and I’m not going to waste them playing a dumb game.” Evan felt his heartbeat speed up. Part of him wanted to stuff a sock in his mouth, and part of him wanted to deck his sister. “It’s a stupid game and it’s for babies and I don’t want to play a stupid baby game.”Pop. Thwap. Pop. Thwap.“Why are you being so mean?” Evan knew he was being mean, and he hated being mean, especially to her. But he couldn’t help it. He was so angry and so humiliated and so full of bats, there was nothing else he could be. Except alone. And she’d taken even that away from him. “You’re the genius,” he said. “You figure it out.” Good. That would shut her up. For once! Evan watched the ball fly in the air.“Is this because of the letter?” Jessie asked.Crack.Evan had taken his eyes off the ball for one second, just for one second, and the ball came crashing down on his nose. “Crud! Oh, CRUD!” He curled over onto his side, grabbing his nose with both hands. There was a blinding, blooming pain right behind his eyes that was quickly spreading to the outer edges of his skull.“Do you want some ice?” he heard Jessie ask in a calm voice.“Whaddya think?” he shouted.“Yeah?” She stood up.“No, I don’t want any stupid ice.” The pain was starting to go away, like a humungous wave that crashes with a lot of noise and spray but then slowly fizzles away into nothing. Evan rolled to a sitting position and took his hands away from his nose. With his thumb and index finger, he started to pinch the bridge. Was it still in a straight line?Jessie peered at his face in the dim light. “You’re not bleeding,” she said.“Yeah, well it, hurts!” he said. “A lot!”“It’s not broken,” she said.“You don’t know that,” he said. “You don’t know everything, you know. You think you do, but you don’t.”“It’s not even swollen. You’re making a big deal out of nothing.”Evan held his nose with one hand and hit his sister’s knee with the other. Then he picked up the baseball and struggled to his feet. “Leave me alone. I came down here to get away from you and you just had to follow. You ruin everything. You ruined my summer and now you’re going to ruin school. I hate you.” When he got to the bottom of the steps, he threw the baseball down in disgust. Thud.

A post from Steggy | Inside Josh's Head
A post from Steggy
This is something Steggy posted a while ago, but I still love to read it. I get pumped up when members of the team are sharing the Awestruck vision better than I do…haha. Enjoy and check out His Scars to Our Scars!
The “peace” to everyones puzzle
Genuine- possessing the claimed or attributed character, quality, or origin; not counterfeit; authentic; or hypocrisy Refreshing- having the power to restore freshness, vitality, energy Adventurous- enjoying adventures; full of risk; requiring courage.These are not just definitions. Well…they may be, but they also demonstrate the core values of the greatest journey anyone could go on. This year will be the year a community will be changed, familes will see God as they should, and children will learn the morals they will carry throughout their lives…….as interesting as this blog has begun you need to go towww.awestruckchurch.com to get the whole story

Butuan base: J.C. Aquino Ave., Barangay Bayanihan, Butuan City[1]
Davao base: Bugac, Barangay Ma-a, Davao City[2]
30% of bus routes in Mindanao
Bachelor Express Incorporated is a bus line under the umbrella of Yanson Group of Bus Companies (YGBC). It operates bus transport services in the eastern and central part of Mindanao, with bases in Butuan City and Davao City.
4.1 Butuan Base
4.2 Davao Base
In December 2014, they bought out Weena Express, a bus line serving Mindanao Star. This development has allowed the conglomerate to serve the Central Mindanao area.[3][4]
Yanson Group has a practice to their bus branding such as "Express" and "Tours" to differentiate their ordinary and air-conditioned buses. Similarly, there are two brands under Bachelor Express Inc., Bachelor Express is a bus brand for their ordinary fare buses while Bachelor Tours is a bus brand for their air-conditioned buses. Their brandings are labeled at the side liveries and at the back of their bus units.
There are two bases under Bachelor Express Inc:
3 Butuan J.C. Aquino Avenue, Bayanihan, Butuan City
4 Davao Bugac, Ma-a, Davao City
Mindanao Star Bus Transport Inc. was once a part of Bachelor Express and was assigned as Base 15. But upon their launch, Yanson Group separated them from Bachelor Express and established Mindanao Star as their separate subsidiary.[5] Their headquarters were placed at the former Weena Express' garage (a bus company that Yanson Group bought earlier), located a few meters away from Bachelor Express' base at Davao City.
Since the re-organization of Yanson Group of Bus Companies in 2005, Bachelor Express Inc. is sub-divided into bases in which has different areas of service and destinations.
Butuan Base[edit]
Butuan base is located in Bayanihan Butuan City, with its terminal hub at Integrated Bus Terminal, Butuan City. The base is assigned as Base 3 of Yanson Group of Bus Companies. Their routes are from Butuan to the eastern and southern parts of Mindanao.

Davao Base[edit]
Davao base is located in Ma-a, Davao City, with its terminal hub at Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (Ecoland), Candelaria, Talomo, Davao City.[6][7] The base is assigned as Base 4 of Yanson Group of Bus Companies. Their routes are from Davao to the eastern part of Mindanao.

Brushfires: What's the difference between an entitlement and a paid for benefit?
Social Security is one of the most successful programs in human history. It has accomplished the goal of providing for Seniors, disabled people, and widows and orphans, to give them a chance at a decent life.
We pay for it. Our parents paid for it. Many people pay into it all of their working lives and die without collecting a penny from it. It's called insurance. That's the way insurance works. It's better than for-profit insurance because none of the money goes to line the pockets of rich corrupt CEO's who then use their profits to buy politicians. It's also more secure than private insurance because it is backed by the full faith and guarantee of the United States of America. j
Unless the Republicans get back in power. Then it magically turns into an " entitlement". Evidently an entitlement is some sort of giveaway that we can't really afford.
Republicans are promising that we who are depending on Social Security now will still be OK but our children and grandchildren will have to fend for themselves, because this country can't afford to promise them a basic safety net.
But if our children and grandchildren aren't paying into S.S., where will the money for our benefits come from?
I guess deficits are OK if Republicans create them.

Team Milton: Milton and Oral Literature
One of the greatest weaknesses of contemporary literary studies is that they reduce 'literature' to text alone, whereas many of the great works--from the Homeric epics to Shakespeare's plays to the Qu'ran--were intended for performance/recitation in front of live audiences, in vital, interactive settings. It is wonderful that we have textual formats as a means of preserving these works throughout the ages, but in approaching them, we need to understand that they are the ashes left over after the flame has been extinguished.They represent yet another degree of separation from the original thoughts and feelings of the authors and can convey only partial meaning.
Having listened to various recordings of Milton's Paradise Lost, I feel that the same is the case for texts that were originally oral in nature. Until last week, I was unaware that Milton was blind when he 'wrote' Paradise Lost and thus would work long into the night composing and memorizing sections to be transcribed the following morning by an aide. Listening to his words, I feel as though Milton himself is speaking, and I understand him better as an author and a human being. There is a tenderness and intimacy that is 'lost in transcription,' and I think it is somewhere in this lost verbal and emotive aspect that the true soul of the work--the Genius behind it--is hidden.
I wanted to share a short clip of a Qu'ran recitation, because I think especially in western cultures, we neglect to some extent some of the great oral poetry of the world. I think Milton would have found great beauty in the words of the Qu'ran, so I've included below a verse from one my favorite surahs as well as a short recitation of a different selection:

Arab culture is rich in the written and spoken word. They hold it at much higher a value than any other culture I've encountered, certainly over any other that I've studied.
Gideon Burton September 18, 2013 at 8:23 AM
Making that connection of a prized orality in another culture is appropriate and interesting. I hope that you will continue to explore this important aspect of Milton (orality) and consider how this influenced the development and reception of his works. Well done.

Aftermath is a film based on one of the most controversial episodes in Poland's World War II history, the Jedwabne massacre of Jews by their Polish neighbours.
Inspired by the 1942 tragedy in which hundreds of Jews were burned alive in a barn, an event long blamed on Nazi Germany, "Poklosie" ("Aftermath") was directed by Wladyslaw Pasikowski.

Part of the 4th Annual Free Thinking Film Festival, October 31st - November 3rd, Ottawa
For more information, please visit www.freethinkingfilms.com
Brings Films on Freedom & Free Speech to Ottawa
On October 31st, 2013, The Free Thinking Film Society will kick off its 4th Annual Film Festival to celebrate liberty, freedom and democracy. The Festival will feature four major events, two book launches, and over 20 films & events, between October 31st - November 3rd 2013 at Library and Archives Canada. There will also be a Free Thinking Alley where attendees can buy books and DVDs, and enjoy food & drink.
"This year we pay particular attention to free speech," says Free Thinking Film President Fred Litwin. "Get ready for four days of challenging films and discussions with absolutely no political correctness."
The Festival will feature four major events: On October 31st, the Festival will open with the film "Collision: Free Speech and Religion" followed by a panel discussion with Danish Human Rights lawyer Jacob Mchangama. On November 1st, the Festival will present an evening with noted Canadian journalist Barbara Kay. On November 2nd, the topic will be China Cyber-Spying, first with a film and then a panel discussion, and the Festival will end with a very special evening on how Muslims, Jews & Christians work together in Uganda on a coffee coop. The head of the Ugandan Jewish community will be on hand for Q&A and coffee will be served.
Other films include "Powerful as God," about systemic abuse within the Children's Aid Societies of Ontario; "Fracknation," presents the truth about fracking; "The Ambassador", a dark comedy that exposes the business of selling diplomatic titles, "Jihad in America: Grand Deception" about the Muslim Brotherhood in the US; "Transcending Fear: The Story Of Gao Zhisheng" about a Christian lawyer who challenges the Communist Party in China; "Changing Lives" a documentary about the impact of economic freedom; "The Sheik and I", about an independent film maker who tests the boundaries of free speech in the United Arab Emirates; "Broken Soldiers", a Canadian film on how our veterans struggle with PTSD and homelessness; "SARS: Coverup and Aftermath" on how the Chinese government covered up the true problems of the SARS epidemic.
In addition, two authors will be in Ottawa to launch their books. Barbara Kay, columnist for the National Post will host an evening dedicated to her book, "Acknowledgements", and Elizabeth Nickson will present her book, "Eco-Fascists: How Radical Conservationists are Destroying Our Natural Heritage".
Festival passes are available for $80 and can be purchased either online or at the following retailers - Compact Music (785 Bank, 206 Bank), and online here. Tickets will also be available at the door at the event. Day passes will also be available for sale.
The Free Thinking Film Society was established in 2007 in Ottawa to provide an outlet for filmmakers and moviegoers alike who are looking for an alternative to the 'alternative'. In other words, we celebrate the efforts of risk-taking documentarians whose work espouses the values of limited, democratic government, free market economies, equality of opportunity rather than equality of result, and the dignity of the individual, all underscored by a healthy and patriotic respect for Western culture and traditions. Although there are a lot of courageous voices in the non-fiction film industry producing thoughtful pieces of art which reject cultural relativism, central economic planning and American culpability for all that ills the world, you wouldn't know it by looking at the listings for most art house cinemas. We're dedicated to changing that by bringing these exciting and challenging documentaries to Canada's capital.

Wider FBI Probe Of Pentagon Leaks Includes Chalabi (washingtonpost.com)
Friday, September 3, 2004; Page A01 FBI counterintelligence agents are investigating whether several Pentagon officials leaked classified information to Iraqi politician Ahmed Chalabi and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, according to a law enforcement official and other people familiar with the case.
_____Message Boards_____  Post Your Comments Initially, news reports revealed that the FBI was investigating whether Lawrence A. Franklin -- a mid-level analyst specializing in Middle East issues in the Pentagon office of Douglas J. Feith, undersecretary of defense for policy -- had passed a draft presidential directive on Iran to AIPAC, and whether the group had passed the information to Israel. AIPAC is an influential lobbying group with close ties to the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The FBI probe is actually much broader, according to senior U.S. officials, and has been underway for at least two years. Several sources familiar with the case say the probe now extends to other Pentagon personnel who have a particular interest in assisting both Israel and Chalabi, the former Iraqi dissident who was long a Pentagon favorite but who has fallen out of favor with the U.S. government.
As a result of that leak, the U.S. intelligence community has been forced to undertake costly and extensive repairs to U.S. signal capabilities, another senior U.S. official said. Francis Brooke, an American aide to Chalabi's organization, vigorously denied that any classified data had been leaked to the organization. "The sooner they get finished with the investigation, the happier we'll be," he said. "No classified information flowed from the United states to the Iraqi National Congress. That's not the nature of the program." John Markham, an attorney for Chalabi, added that he had sent two letters to the Justice Department and to the FBI months ago offering to have Chalabi discuss the issue with investigators. "We have heard absolutely nothing from anybody," Markham said. "We've offered to make him available, and they've ignored us." He said that is inconsistent with how he saw federal investigators operate during several years he spent as a prosecutor.
An early part of the inquiry focused on the activities of a U.S. military reservist who was serving at the U.S. Embassy in Israel, a senior intelligence official said. It could not be determined last night if that reservist was Franklin, who has served for about two decades in the Air Force Reserve and has done some short tours at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. Israel and AIPAC have strongly denied any involvement in espionage activities against the United States.

Green Yards Miami: From Sprays to Rotaries - a new micro-video!
From Sprays to Rotaries - a new micro-video!
This is the first Water Use Efficiency Program video of 2011. One of the many recommendation we make to homeowners (and homeowners associations) interested in increasing irrigation efficiency is to retrofit spray type sprinklers with rotary (or rotator) nozzles. Spray heads apply large amounts of water in a very short amount of time and are susceptible to wind drift. Rotary hedas apply water more slowly and in stronger streams of water that resist wind.Since many urban landscape irrigation systems in South Florida not only feature zones with mixed sprinkler types (sprays alongside the even slower applying rotor)......but also use sprays to irrigate low-maintenance shrubs, modifying existing spray heads with rotary (or rotator) nozzles is an easy and effective retrofit-and entirely rebateable through this year's rebate-centered program.Michael GutierrezUniversity of Florida, Tropical Research and EducationCenter

I need to share with my friends.ReplyDeletePaul BearNovember 19, 2014 at 3:16 PMThanks for the information about sprinkler systems. Winterizing them would be a good subject to cover. I walked by a house today and all the grass was covered in ice because their sprinklers still turn on at night.

Stover Lane: A real blast!
I sat on my porch last night and watched the huge display put on by my neighbors. There's just something this year that has hit the hearts of everyone and they showed it by their "over the top" fireworks :)
My sweet Miss C (my choc. lab) was calm thru it all. I'm not saying she particularly liked it but it didn't send her into any fear mode. She even came to the front door and sat while I was outside watching the fun :)
Everyone else in my family was at one of the many concerts going on. It was all family oriented so the kids attended with their parents. At one time I would not have missed a great concert but.......now.......I enjoy the comforts of air conditioning way too much, lol :)
Hope you enjoyed your 4th celebration as much as I did. We have so much to be thankful for :)
You can say that again and again. We took in the band concert, watched 4 sky divers land just feet away from us and then at dusk dark the fireworks. Fun, Fun.
We missed the parade yesterday, but convened at Larry and Denise's for dogs and burgers Sat. night, with more fireworks. The three little kids enjoyed that. There was neighbors all around shooting also.
Larry also made a freezer of home made ice cream. Banana, ummm, good.
We had a very nice 4th too...actually on the 3rd. We really do have a lot to be thankful for Darlene...take care...Love, Joy

Peaceful Gatherings: Healing
5 out of 7 of my goofy kids!
I'm tempted to put up a sign on my house: "Healing Zone". Two of the four children I have adopted are very verbal and much more likely to share memories and feelings with me. It's such a relief that the language barrier, while still there, is much smaller. Usually these conversations take place while we are painting nails or doing crafts together.
They're now able to share how scared they were when they found out they were being adopted, how confused they were about what that would mean for them. At such tender ages with limited exposure to the outside world, they were shocked that we didn't speak Spanish. These things I knew had to be true before, but to hear it verbalized makes it so much more real.
As hard as it was for us to go to Nicaragua for 6 months, it was all still very fast and sudden and scary for them. They were taking on SO MUCH. Loss and tragedy led them to an "orphan" status. But that had become their "normal." A scary adventure brought them "family". As big a deal it was for my husband and I and teens to go to Nicaragua, it was a bigger deal for these 4 kids to come and join us in our family!
It's nothing short of miraculous that in that journey and in the midst of all that, they could laugh and play at all. Hearing their accounts, it just keeps me conscious of the helplessness and lack of control when others make all your life decisions for you. Such is the life of a vulnerable child and how much more a child alone in the world.
Sometimes I need to remind myself of all they have been through. As they laugh and play and love and mean it more and more when they call me "Mama", I sit back in amazement of what God has already done. Sometimes the journey to "healed" seems long. I have to be reminded of how far we've come...
And to be reminded that we have all been hurt, that this life is hard. God loves us so much and He brings healing in His wings...and we are all in the: "Healing Zone" until that day He brings us home with Him where I know I'll be able to change the sign over our home from "Healing Zone" to "Healed Zone."
"But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." ~Malachi 4:2

Hyderabad Blues: [HM:256606] Developing The Power Of Not Looking Back
[HM:256606] Developing The Power Of Not Looking Back
If you carefully observe the people who are in stress, you will notice that they keep thinking about a specific event, conversation, failure, brawl or hard luck again and again which has happened to them in past. Such people do not have control on their thinking process hence they allow their brain to keep wandering in the past. While It's a known fact that bad luck happens to everyone, it's people's attitude and the quantum of reaction which defines the degree of stress. Since stress and happiness are vice versa so more stress results in less happiness or in some cases loss of happiness. Article written by Junaid.Tahir
Always remember that everyone passes through tragic moments in life however
you will agree that the more you think about bad things happened in the past, the more magnitude of stress you give birth to. Hence the chains of negativity and stress around your neck need to be broken and thrown away so as to move on with your life.
The fact remains the same that you cannot change the past, neither you can boil the ocean so a wise person would not keep thinking about something which has already happened instead he would learn the lesson from the past and take measures which need to be done in order to prevent such happening in future. A wise man will always focus on the solutions instead of thinking about the problems. Article written by Junaid.Tahir
So here is what I recommend:
Take a pen and list down all the issues bothering you right now. You will, eventually, end up with a very limited number of issues causing depression back and forth. Now the next step is to split these issues into two groups. One group for which you do have some solution and the other group should contain the issues which are out of control. The worries and sorrows from the second group should be shun away. You need to train your brain not to think of something which is beyond control. Divert your focus on the issues for which you can do something. Do it now because this time will also become past and you would be cursing these moments for taking action at right time.

Rolling Stones Drummer Charlie Watts Plots New Big Band Record...
Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts will release a new live album with the Danish Radio Big Band featuring standards, originals and Rolling Stones covers. Charlie Watts Meets the Danish Radio Big Band arrives April 21st via Impulse!/Verve and is available to pre-order.
Q&A: Charlie Watts An interview with the famed Rolling Stones drummer about throat cancer and recovery Watts and the Danish Radio Big Band recorded the LP in 2010 at the Concert Hall of Denmark in Copenhagen after just four days of rehearsals. The seven-track album boasts a Bossa Nova-inspired take on the Stones' "Satisfaction," renditions of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Paint It Black" and a version of Watts' 2000 piece with the Jim Keltner Project, "Elvin Suite."
Watts' relationship with jazz is fittingly inextricable with Denmark. Before the Rolling Stones took off, Watts traveled to Denmark for his day job and embedded himself in the country's flourishing jazz and blues scene while he was there. Throughout his career, the drummer has worked on numerous jazz side projects. In 1986, he released a record with the 32-piece Charlie Watts Orchestra and during the Nineties crafted several LPs with the Charlie Watts Quintet. That outfit expanded into a Tentet in 2004, while more recently he formed a group, the ABC&D of Boogie Woogie, with pianists Axel Zwingenberger and Ben Waters and bassist Dave Green. Last year, the Rolling Stones released their first album in 11 years, Blue and Lonesome, a collection of blues covers.

PRIORITY CLAIM This application claims priority from co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/068,183, titled Stimulus Response Novelty Device, filed Dec. 19, 1997.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The aforementioned long felt needs are fulfilled, and problems solved, by a novelty item provided in accordance with the present invention. Preferably, the novelty device takes; the form of a substantially closed box or housing including an input signal means for producing, in response to an external stimulus, an input electrical signal, and processing means responsive to the input electrical signal for processing the input electrical signal and producing an activation signal. In addition, the novelty item includes operating means, responsive to the activation signal, for producing an output signal to operate a device that provides a user-perceivable reaction to the input electrical signal for at least a predetermined period of time.
FIG. 4A is a sectional view of the access cover of FIG. 4, taken along the lines 4A�4A in FIG. 4; and
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE CURRENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As an overview, the present invention provides a novelty device responsive to an input for generating a concurrent plurality of related sensory outputs perceivable by a user or observer of the device for creating a humorous and unexpected reaction from the user or observer. In its currently most preferred implementation, the device takes the outward form of a closed or substantially closed box-like housing. The sensory input that triggers the plural responsive outputs may in the most preferred embodiments comprise a sound, or some externally-induced movement of the housing, or the proximity of a user to the housing, or light of (for example) at least a predetermined amplitude or that is incident on the housing at a particular location thereof or from a particular direction. The outputs are related in the sense that they are of or concern like subject matter or are sufficiently associated as to convey to the user a related, preferably humorous, effect.
In the preferred embodiment, two related outputs are concurrently generated in response to detection of the predetermined sensory input. The first is a motion of the housing, such for example as a rocking or quasi-random movement of the housing, relative to an underlying surface on which the housing supportedly sits, thus simulating efforts by someone or something trapped within the housing to escape. The second output in the preferred embodiment is sound, specifically a simulated human voice, most preferably asking or pleading to be released, as with the phrase �Would somebody please let me out of here?� recited in a manner suggesting an agitated and desperate state. The two outputs in this preferred embodiment are generated concurrently, or at least in part concurrent or overlapping, thus suggesting that there is someone trapped in the box, banging or pressing against its interior walls in an effort to escape and pleading to be released. The result is an extremely humorous and entertaining novelty device that stands up to repeated use without growing tiresome or annoying.
The suggestion that someone or something is trapped in the container or housing of the inventive novelty device can be further enhanced by suitably ornamenting the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the housing�although it may be fabricated of a plastic material to minimize manufacturing expense�resembles a wooden shipping carton or crate and may include simulated shipping labels and the like affixed or applied to or simulated on its outer surface. The container may further include a small opening through which a simulated eyeball can be viewed�as though the person or being trapped therein is peering out through the opening. These and other enhancements for supplementing the effectiveness of the concept of the novelty device are within the intended scope and contemplation of the invention as general matters of design choice.
In a further preferred aspect of the invention, the input section 110 comprises a pair of input devices, which are both in electrical communication with the circuit board 1, for converting external stimuli to the input electrical signal. As used herein, the term �external stimuli� means any input to the circuit from the external (to the inventive device) environment of a person observing, or playing with, the novelty device, whether the person knowingly or unexpectedly creates the necessary stimuli. The first of these input devices in the herein disclosed embodiment is a combination of an on-off switch 3 and stimulus sensing element 4. The on-off switch 3 is connected between the power source 2 and stimulus sensing element 4 and may take the form of a slide switch or a push button switch or the like operable to activate the sensing element 4 to provide an input to the circuit. The sensing element 4 is also connected to the processing section 1A of circuit board 1, and may in a preferred embodiment comprise a piezoelectric sensor or transducer for detection of sound and vibration, although other sensing elements such by way of example as photoelectric cells, motion detectors, and proximity sensors may be employed. When the sensor 4 is activated as by detecting a sound, or by a person walking past or moving proximate the novelty device, the novelty device is activated and emits or effects its responsive sounds and/or actions for a predetermined period of time under the control of processing section 1A.
The motor 6 is vertically mounted to the top of battery compartment 19, preferably so that its vertically-extending shaft 28 is at least slightly displaced or offset from the center or central vertical axis of the housing and base 10 (FIG. 5). The top end of the motor 6 may be positionally fixed by a horizontal yoke 23 carried on a pair of vertical supports 24 that extend from the top of battery compartment 19. A weighted eccentric 25, comprising an arm 26 and mass or weight 27, is secured to and extends perpendicularly outward from motor shaft 28 for rotation with the shaft. When electrical operating power is applied to the motor 6, the rotation of the weighted eccentric 25 and resulting circular motion of the weight 27 about the axis 22�which is off-center to the base of the housing�the rotating weight 27 produces a vibratory or shaking motion of housing 8, a vibrating motion that is further enhanced by the flexible separation of the housing from its supporting surface by the suction cup 18 so as to suggest that a living being is attempting to escape from within the housing 8. The suction cup 18 is effective to secure or adhere the novelty device to the supporting surface and thereby prevent unintended motion or creep of the housing 8 along the supporting surface as the housing vibrates or shakes.
When configured for example in the form of a crate-like housing 8, an unsuspecting person will be surprised and entertained when by inadvertently or intentionally touching or otherwise stimulating or activating the device, the crate shakes and rocks while a simulated voice from within asks to be �let out.� Those already familiar with the device and its functioning additionally find it amusing to watch the reactions of others to its operation.

Exchange Server 2003 Technical Articles Exchange Server 2003 Real-Time Block Lists
In an earlier Exchange Insider article, Introduction to Exchange Server 2003 ESM Features - Part 2, there was mention of the real-time block list (RBL) feature. This article expands on the information, explaining what RBL is and why you might use it. Much of this information is adapted and taken from the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Getting Started Guide as well as from information in the references in the For More Information section.
What Is a Real-Time Block List?
RBL FAQ
Is RBL a Perfect Solution for Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail?
How Is the List Populated?
Is There a Way to Get Off of These Lists?
Why Use a Real-Time Block List?
How Connection Filtering Works
How to Configure RBL
How to Apply the Connection Filter to the Appropriate SMTP Virtual Servers
Real-time block list (RBL) was introduced as a feature of Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 and is a tool to stop the influx of unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE) from arriving in user inboxes. Real-time block lists are provided by external sources that keep track of known UCE (also known as spam) sources and often include dial-up user accounts. Dial-up users should not be relaying Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) traffic off your server. Often deployed on the edge or first hop of the incoming stream of SMTP traffic, RBL can be effective in stopping known UCE sources from sending UCE to your domain and therefore your users.
RBL is one tool to combat UCE. When used with other tools such as content filtering, RBL can stop UCE from arriving in user inboxes. However, this technology protects your users by creating intentional loss of mail by refusing to accept mail from a reported UCE source.
How do these lists determine a domain to be a source of UCE or an open relay? The answer depends on many factors. Some lists will actively scan hosts by net block to determine if they can find an open relay. Mail Abuse Prevention System LLC (MAPS), a California-based company, among others, is known for doing proactive attacking. They additionally accept the word of Internet users who report a domain as a UCE source or open relay. Some lists do both, while others rely on user input, such as subscriber reporting or scanning only. This means that accuracy is often based on the opinions of people who maintain the lists, which can lead to problems.
Because mail will be denied by hosts that are specified by users on the Internet, somebody who is not happy with you or your domain can decide to report you as a UCE source or open relay, and have you block listed. This can lead to problems with mail flow between your company and valid business recipients. You need to use this feature carefully.
Each list provider has its own process to remove someone from the list, but it is not always as quick to be removed from a list as it is to be added. One example of how a server got on a block list is illustrated in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 304897, "SMTP relay behavior in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Exchange Server."
With RBL having these previously listed problems, why should you use it? The reason is because it is so effective at combating UCE. RBL is one of the most effective vehicles for stopping the spread of UCE, and that makes it worth the risk for many to deploy it. At its foundation, RBL is a way for Internet users to report known UCE sources, and then keep a running database of those UCE sources.
Exchange Server 2003 supports connection filtering based on real-time block lists. This feature allows you to check an incoming Internet Protocol (IP) address against an RBL provider list for categories you want to filter. If a match is found on the RBL provider list, SMTP issues a 550 5.x.x error in response to the RCPT TO command, and a customized error response is issued to the sender. You can use several connection filters, and prioritize the order in which each filter is applied.
When you create a connection filter, you establish a rule that SMTP uses to perform a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup to a list provided by a third-party RBL service. The connection filter matches each incoming IP address against the block listed resources provided by the third party. The RBL provider issues one of two responses:
Host not found This indicates that the IP address is not present on its block list.
127.0.0.x This is a response status code, which indicates that a match for the IP address was found in the list of offenders. The x varies depending on your provider.
If the incoming IP address is found on the list, SMTP returns a 5.x.x error in response to the RCPT TO command, the SMTP command the connecting server issues to identify the intended message recipient.
You can customize the response returned to the sender. Additionally, because real-time block list providers usually contain different categories of offenders, you can specify what types of matches you want to reject. Most real-time block list providers screen for three types of offenders:
Sources of unsolicited commercial e-mail These are lists generated from scanning unsolicited commercial e-mail messages and adding the source address to the list.
Known open relay servers These lists are calculated by identifying open relay SMTP servers on the Internet. The most common reason for an open relay server is incorrect configuration by the system administrator.
Dial-up user lists These lists are built from source lists from Internet service providers (ISPs) of IP addresses with dial-up access or from inspection of addresses that indicate a probable dial-up connection.
Create a connection filter
Expand the Global Settings container, right-click the Message Delivery object, and then click Properties.
Select the Connection Filtering tab.
To create a connection filter rule, click Add.
In Display Name, type a name for the connection filter.
In DNS Suffix of provider, enter the DNS suffix of the provider, for example, contoso.com.
In Custom Error Message to Return, if desired, type a custom error message to return to the sender. Leave this field blank to use the following default error message:
