Midshipman "Walks Around the World" at South Pole
POSTED ON: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 8:00 AM by Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph
Midshipman 1st Class Jillian Coughlin got an exceptionally white Christmas this year, but not the kind you might expect in her hometown of Annapolis, Md. Coughlin, an honors oceanography major and French minor, spent her holiday far from the comforts of home on an arctic adventure to the South Pole.
"The purpose of my trip was to travel down to Antarctica with the National Science Foundation via the Air National Guard and have the opportunity to interact with scientists and researchers who are currently located at McMurdo Station and the South Pole," said Coughlin.
Coughlin additionally had the unique opportunity to tour the Crary Lab and conduct personal interviews with all the scientists stationed on base.
Coughlin will enter the surface warfare (SWO) community after graduation, with the opportunity to transfer into the meteorology and oceanography (METOC) community once she qualifies for her SWO pin. She was selected for the South Pole trip because of her exceptional skills both in and out of the classroom.
She believes the experience opened her eyes to the intensity and dedication of the researchers and got her excited about graduate education.
"I can only hope that whenever I attend grad school that I will get the opportunity to do some field work that is equally compelling," she said.
Coughlin knows that there was more to her trip than simply learning to research. One of her favorite experiences was touring Arthurs Pass in New Zealand and appreciating all of the beauty that surrounded her.
"There were snow-covered peaks, waterfalls, and 500-foot dropoffs about three feet from the trail," she said. "You were always on your toes and seeing a new sight. All in all, it was a gorgeous view, but then again most of New Zealand is beautiful."
The varsity lacrosse player is used to running, but another favorite experience from her trip was the opportunity to run around the South Pole. Coughlin can now say that she has run "around the world" because during her five-second journey around the pole she crossed every line of longitude.
"It was -15 degrees Fahrenheit at the pole. The pole itself has all the flags of the nations involved in the Antarctic Treaty, and it's just a really moving sight to witness," she said. "Most people dream about getting to go to the South Pole, but I was actually there, and it is amazing."
Aside from the beautiful scenery and the incredible adventure, the trip gave Coughlin additional insight into her desire to be an officer.
"I watched how the Air National Guard and the Air Force made themselves into a family down in Antarctica, and that was truly moving."
While Antarctica is a desolate landscape, and even though prime research season for the area falls during the holidays, there was a sense of incredible community. The members of the team kept focused on their mission at hand, while also supporting each other, Coughlin said.
"As an officer, I hope to foster the same kind of environment with my sailors, to have everyone looking out for each other and a support system throughout any holiday or major event in their lives."

Serological tests for TB – Boon or bane?
Trends in the TB diagnostic markets in India have been changing drastically. Serological TB tests have been very popular in the Indian private market for the past several years, despite the fact that these are known to be inaccurate, inconsistent and of no clinical value for TB diagnosis.
Also read:
Related interviews / columns:
According to a paper published in the National Medical Journal of India, "Despite the evidence and lack of any supporting policies, 1.5 million TB serological tests are estimated to be done in India and as a result, patients end up spending an estimated $15 million (Rs80 crore) per year." In fact, another market research survey has estimated that, more than $40 million (Rs200 crore) are spent on TB serology in India annually.
In the editorial of the Indian Journal of Medical Research, published in November 2011, Professor Sarman Singh, head, division of clinical microbiology and molecular medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and Dr VM Katoch, director general, Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), discard the claims of manufacturers as misguiding. They point out that there are more than 73 manufacturers of TB serological test kits. There are at least 24 TB rapid test kit manufacturers from China alone, followed by the US. India has eight rapid test manufacturers. Most of them claim 95-to-100 percent sensitivity and specificity.

Garza easing into new surroundings with Brewers
Hopes to help stabilize starting rotation and his career
MILWAUKEE - Fitting in with a new team is old news for Matt Garza.
Over the past eight seasons, he's pitched for Minnesota, Tampa Bay, the Chicago Cubs and Texas, compiling a 67-67 record with a 3.84 ERA.
"It's just baseball," said Garza, beginning his first season with the Milwaukee Brewers.
"It's a new group of guys you get to know. You hang out, get to know them, see what they're like."
The right-hander split last season between the Cubs and Rangers before signing a $50 million, four-year contract with Milwaukee.
Finally, some stability.

Rakesh Satyal of the class of 2002 (shown above) thought a bit of optimism and a free doughnut or two could help ease his classmates' stress during Dean's Date. He enlisted his friends' help for Princeton's first celebration in 1999. Due to its immediate popularity, it became a semiannual tradition that carries on today.

Video feature: 'Student focus: Celebrating Dean's Date'
Posted January 10, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
John Monagle, a Princeton junior, and Zach Zimmerman, a 2010 Princeton graduate, host this video profile of Dean's Date, which takes place at the end of each semester. This year's events happen Tuesday, Jan. 11, and Tuesday, May 11.
The title "Dean's Date" has long represented the last day for undergraduate students to turn in written coursework. Many students hand in all of their work ahead of Dean's Date. Some students turn in coursework so close to the deadline that they can be seen running across campus to make it on time.
For more than a decade, the date has been celebrated by undergraduates who pack McCosh Courtyard to cheer on their fellow students. The University provides free food, and the Princeton University Band provides the tunes.
The celebration was introduced by Rakesh Satyal of the class of 2002 to bring a little levity to the scene. He enlisted a group of friends to start the first Dean's Date festivities in 1999. By the time he graduated, the event attracted more than 400 participants.
The tradition is carried on by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the Undergraduate Student Government.

Biological and Environmental Research (BER)

Monsoon clouds gather over the Bay of Bengal in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Recent studies have suggested various mechanisms and effects for how pollution aerosols in South Asia impact monsoons. This study provides insights into the different ways aerosols affect the South Asian monsoon system.
Summer monsoons deliver about three-quarters of South Asia's annual rainfall, influencing fresh water supplies, agriculture, and energy production. Small changes in monsoons can have large impacts on local living conditions by affecting crop yields, prolonging droughts, or fostering floods.
Aerosols cool the underlying surface and reduce the north-south temperature gradient leading to slow-response climate effects. High-altitude absorbing aerosols may cause short-term, localized enhancement of convective uplift. Using a global climate model with a fully predictive aerosol lifecycle, Department of Energy researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory investigated the fast and slow responses of the South Asian monsoon system to anthropogenic aerosol forcing. They show that the feedbacks associated with the slower sea surface temperature (SST) change caused by aerosols play a more important role than the aerosol's direct impact on radiation, clouds, and land surface (rapid adjustments) in shaping the total equilibrium climate response of the monsoon system to aerosol forcing. Inhomogeneous SST cooling caused by anthropogenic aerosols eventually reduces the north-south tropospheric temperature gradient and the easterly shear of zonal winds over the region, slowing the local Hadley cell circulation, decreasing the northward moisture transport, and causing a reduction in precipitation over South Asia. Although total responses in precipitation are closer to the slow responses in general, the fast component dominates over land areas north of 25ºN. The results also show an east-west asymmetry in the fast responses to anthropogenic aerosols causing increases in precipitation west of 80ºE but decreases east of it.

WOCCU Issues Model Regulations for Credit Unions
February 13, 2008
MADISON, Wis.—The credit union principle of financial cooperatives that are member-owned may be consistent worldwide, but formal regulation for credit unions can vary greatly from country to country. World Council of Credit Unions' (WOCCU's) new Model Regulations for Credit Unions will provide policy makers, regulators and credit union leaders with guidelines for implementing quality regulatory standards that have application for a broad spectrum of developed and developing credit union movements.
Designed as a companion piece to WOCCU's Model Law for Credit Unions, published in 2005, Model Regulations is based on examples of regulations assembled from numerous countries, as well as WOCCU's extensive international development experience and documented best practices. WOCCU research provided a policy framework for the 62-page guide, while other microfinance institutions contributed principles, according to Dave Grace, WOCCU's vice president of Association Services.
"Credit unions in many countries do not have sufficient supervision," said Grace. "WOCCU is providing policymakers the next step of guidance—model regulations to implement the laws they've created."
With content guided by WOCCU's Legislative and Regulatory Committee, Model Regulations is believed by its developers to be the first document of its kind to be written and distributed for credit union-specific regulations. The guide includes a regulation matrix on CD-ROM that contains real-world examples of regulations from 18 distinct credit union sectors, including both developed and developing movements. The matrix will aid users in developing and implementing the regulations.
Model Regulations will be distributed to participants of the Global Regulators' Roundtable scheduled to take place as part of the 2008 World Credit Union Conference July 13-16, 2008 in Hong Kong. The guide also will be given to attendees of the African and Latin American Regional Regulator Roundtable meetings.
Over the past 15 years, Model Law for Credit Unions has been used extensively in dozens of countries and translated into multiple languages. Model Regulations is expected to become as widely used, especially as credit unions around the world continue to grow.
Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Model Regulations is available online at www.woccu.org/modellaw.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.
World Council has implemented 300+ technical assistance programs in 89 countries. Worldwide, 60,657 credit unions in 109 countries serve 223,000,000 people. Learn more about World Council's impact around the world at www.woccu.org.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
SCOTT ROTHKOPF: I think that people are right to question the sexual politics of these images. And I think what makes them interesting and problematic in the long run is that the sexual politics of them is not so easy to pin down.
In fact, Staller herself was overseeing a media empire. She created these costumes, these sets, this world. And Koons, in a way, is a visitor into that scenario.
Also, if you look closely at these pictures, there are some very interesting details. Koons is wearing a lot of makeup on his face. His eyebrows are stylized. He's actually trimmed some of his body hair. He's gone into a mode of self-presentation that one doesn't generally associate with the burly, masculine conqueror. There's something very queer about these pictures, to me, about seeing an artist so obviously made up. Even though he's in a heterosexual scenario, he's surrounded by all sorts of slightly girly attributes, with sequins, flowers, and tiaras.
At the same time, he would say that in showing their most personal sex life and making it public, there was no way for them to be, in fact, ever degraded by voyeurism because they had taken control of their nudity, of their sexual activity and shared it with the world.
NARRATOR: This idea led Koons and Staller to make increasingly explicit images of their sexual relationship.

Crunchy baguette slices are topped with robust Gorgonzola and sweet caramelized onions.
Gorgonzola is a cow's-milk cheese with bluish-green veins, similar in flavor and appearance to other blue cheeses. If you don't have Gorgonzola, any other blue
cheese, such as Roquefort, Stilton or Maytag, would be a good substitute.
The onions can be cooked and refrigerated up to 48 hours ahead of time and reheated in a microwave oven. Assemble the appetizers just before broiling.
Arrange these tasty appetizers on a pretty platter, and garnish with fresh parsley or another favorite herb. Add a variety of marinated olives from the deli.

Public Capitulation of Cert War
excerpted from message posted here:
Hi Kelly,
First, I cheerfully acknowledge loss of the Cert War at Advogato. Despite even long stretches of the trust metric being broken or non calculated I have never successfully achieved certification as a master. I go now to post public capitulation at my diary at advogato.org.
I am interested in your java project porting Wikimedia to a Java environment . I have been studying Java sporadically and need a useful focus to my efforts to learn the language. I have little interest in the language for its own sake, I am more interested personally in possibilities implied by peer to peer distribtuted processing with free software components for entrepreneurs with little starting capital.

Guests will gobble up this delicious hot dip bursting with colorful corn, salsa and beans.
If the group you are serving likes spicy food, go ahead and add another chopped chipotle chili and a little extra of the spicy adobo sauce.
Bring this dip the next time you are asked to bring an appetizer. Heat at home until hot and then just keep warm at the party.
It's fun to serve a basket of chips of different colors and shapes. Purchase blue, yellow and white tortilla chips, plus small round ones and the larger triangle-shaped
variety. Serve them in a colorful holiday basket lined with a napkin.

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho
Dave Smith Instruments is back with another excellent and affordable analog monophonic synthesizer. The Mopho is a single voice from the mighty Prophet '08 with the addition of one sub-oscillator per DCO. It offers a stereo output and an audio input for processing external sound through its fantastic Curtis lowpass filter. The Mopho's 2+2 oscillators, fully analog signal path, extensive modulation capabilities, and characteristic DSI lowpass filter makes big analog sound available at an astonishingly low price!
The desktop module version includes dedicated knobs (detented encoders) for pitch, volume, program selection, filter, and basic envelope controls as well as four knobs that can be assigned to any other parameters the user chooses. The interface is somewhat limited, but easy to learn and navigate. To overcome this limitation, there is a free Mac/Win software editor included, and there are a few third-party software editors available as well. Additional features include four LFOs, a gated 16-step sequencer, three ADSR envelope generators and an arpeggiator. There is also a "Push-It" button which auditions patches, can step through a sequence or function as a tap-tempo button.
The keyboard version adds a USB interface, as well as a 32 key (2.5 octave) semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. With much more front panel real estate available, far more parameters are immediately accessible via 25 knobs as opposed to the desktop version's 10. Pitch Bend & Mod Wheels and classic wooden end panels are nice additions too.
Both versions include a prorietary Poly Chain socket which allows you to connect and control other Dave Smith Instruments synthesizers for expanded polyphony and a much bigger sound. This works particularly well with the Prophet '08, and the Tetra.
The Mopho is an excellent choice for anyone looking for large, aggressive analog sound combined with extreme flexibility at a very low price. It's tempting to make the Pro-One comparison, but it's much more accurate to think of the Mopho as a descendant rather than a reproduction. It shares the same spirit and function, but has a soul and personality that is all its own.

Nah, we just state the facts.
But I do like what Bubba said about UcheaT's preseason rankingas analogous to how I'm faring at a field trial until the marshall says "Dog No. 1 to the line"...whether I'm dog No. 1 or not, that's when the reality starts to set in. Just like UcheaT with their upcoming conference schedule.They were also tied for first in the conference before the year began with a record of 0-0.

I've been thinking about emulators lately. Most of the machines that have a microprocessor or microcontroller operate similarly. I've been working out whether it would be feasible to write an emulator creator, with which you could describe components of the emulator, including all of the various hardware contained within it.
In basic terms, a CPU is really quite simple to describe. Take an instruction and do something with it. Most of them are linear, and even those CPUs that provide separate pipelines could probably be described.
This thought process came about because, as a former musician, I own a pile of synthesizers. One of them I own, A Roland W-30 music workstation, is basically a self-contained computer. It has an Intel 8098 (a variant of the Intel 8096) microcontroller on the system board. It also has a SCSI interface, floppy disk drive, and an LCD display. The workstation, which started production in 1989, went end of life by 1992 or so, and Roland discontinued building new operating system releases for it by 1994. Unfortunately there are features I've always wanted to have in the W-30, but never got around to doing anything about.
Another owner of a W-30 plucked out the EEPROMs from his W-30 and ripped all of the BIOS-level routines from them. I spent a month or two reverse engineering the entire operating system of the box to understand it, hoping I might be able to add the features I was looking for on it. After a while it became apparent that I'd probably have to write an emulator for it. That's when I stopped because I didn't have time to work on it.
This past week I started writing an emulator for it. It's not hard, it's just very time consuming. I've got many of the opcodes working and I have a plan of attack for building the emulators for the other components in the box. But while I've been looking at it, I've realized I could probably build a much more generalized emulator builder.
Anyway, I wonder if someone has already come up with something like this. If anyone knows of something like this, please post.

I was able to book a sleeper car and fell fast asleep, the windows were cracked and my roomies ( 4 of us) all fell fast asleep. I loved the fresh air and the rocking of the train, ( plus my earplugs my Sister Kathy gave me worked like a charm)
The 3 roomies turned out to be three guys traveling for 6 months together,( they were in there mid 30's) they told me they had reservations at a pretty cool place and told me I could tag along with them to see if they had a room for me, so off I went
After getting my room i took a quick shower then I decided to head out and explore the city, the Roomies, were headed for a bar :) ready to see this amazing city, and It was truly amazing, I love walking till my feet hurt, getting lost on the small narrow streets. I went straight to The Charles Bridge, a must see in Prague. Just amazing to see, there are 30 statutes along the bridge, it is the oldest bridge in Prague, starred in the 13th century and finished in the 15th century. I also crossed the other bridges on both sides of Charles Bridge to get great pictures from far away. I broke my rule about immediately getting the tour bus to explore the city, and getting my bearings. It was a bit cloudy and rainy the next day so I decided to ride the trams and explore that way. Plus in my haste I bought a 3 day unlimited metro pass which I didn't really use a lot, but glad I had it.
On my last day in Prague, Im on the Hop on Hop off tour and the guy who sits down next to me is a Texan, from Dallas (Mark:) (small world) he is traveling for 3 weeks, his first day in Prague, my last, so we end up spending the day together enjoying the tour and doing a Boat ride later in the afternoon. We decide to walk all the way back to the city center when Mark sees a beautiful blue Vintage 1929 convertible (all original parts) he decides we need a more detailed and personal tour of Prague in that amazingly cool car and hires him to give us a private tour of Prague. It was amazing, sun in your face, wind in your hair and great company.
We were able to see a few more sights we otherwise would have missed.
We walked around looking at the city at night (a must do in Prague, the castle and Churches as well as all the bridges are lit up) we were going to stop for this amazing dessert but we were still too full, by then it was 11:30 pm and I needed to get up early so I thanked him for a great day and we went our separate ways.
The Czech Republic is the most athiest country in Europe, with 66 %25 of the people being admitted atheists. (Do NOT believe there is a God)

I just find that comment funny with the carrying on the other day about how people decide what team to pull for.
Guilty of what? I'm not the one on here that has such a problem handling a point of view that doesn't conform with the norm.
The problem is that when pressed on your views you can't back them up with any legitimacy.
I'll admit I didn't read most posts in this thread because I could tell where it was going pretty quickly. But if it was anything like the Arsenal bandwagon discussion from the other day then my point stands.
I mean in the Arsenal thing I linked and cited stats
I mean in the Arsenal thing I linked and cited stats that showed ManU was more successful than Arsenal during that period. If you disagree that's fine, that's what discussion is all about. I think the respective trophy cases are enough to give my feelings on the subject a basic level of "legitimacy". I mean I wasn't in there just making shite up.
No but it seemed you were just arguing just to argue at that point. I clearly demonstrated that over a 6-7 year period (one in which most people on this board were getting into Euro soccer) Arsenal was 1b. in England and probably one of the top 4-5 teams in Europe.
Which makes it totally unreasonable to act like Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd. etc... fans are bandwagon but Arsenal fans are somehow exempt.
You criticize almost every fanbase on here with the exception of Arsenal
none of the clubs, outside of Chelsea after winning the CL last year, have achieved the same level of success Arsenal did from the late 90s-2005
I disagree and it's also not entirely just about what the clubs have done on the pitch.
So why do you credit some teams (Arsenal) for "doing it the right way" but have such a problem with United and their fans?
I think we really need to drop the bandwagon thing. All of us (or at least 9/10) of us were born in America, when we started watching soccer not everyone was illegal stream savvy, the good teams are on TV.
Get the frick over it, move on.

Oh, I nearly forgot, I picked up DOTM Human Alliance basic Thunderhead on clearance at Target this weekend, $5.24. The figure doesn't merit a full review, but it's also not as bad as I thought it'd be.
Bot mode is ok, a lot of backpack perhaps, but overall the bot mode looks alright (definitely more bad guy than the Autobot he is though), and the feet fold past flat to more of a toes look which helps with his proportions. The articulation is a little frustrating with a lot of limitations at the knees and ankles, but most frustrating is a lack of swivel at the anywhere along the arm, so the hands end up SIDEWAYS to the elbow articulation - he can only hold stuff like he's doing bicep curls! Also, there are 3mm clip weapons on his backpack which can't really be deployed here, and no useable clip-rails in bot mode (there are clip-rails at the elbows but they are slightly too small so the weapons just dangle face down making them useless).
Transformation to alt mode is overly simple, basically it's just rotating the backpack around, folding up a few greebles, and repositioning the limbs.
The official alt mode is an unarmored, 1-man spider-tank with hexagon-plated treads at the end of every limb. The treads cannot truly lay flat due to their "motor" ends being fatter than the treads themselves, but there are a lot of position ideas that can be worked out, especially since the treads have hexagon-plates which could suggest multi-direction movement akin to a mecanum wheel. The instructions say the robot arms just rotate around, yet they're on a set of hinges which let them pivot all the way around to cover the neck-hole despite no mode using that range of motion, so I assume that the designers meant them to move there to cover that hole and stick out the front diagonally, that also makes the front tread-legs equidistant to the rear now. It's still pretty half-assed though.
Transformation to weapon mode has a little more going on with the lower torso folding down to create a mech suit for the driver with a gun over his head, there's even a fold-down panel with outer grips and gauges and buttons on the inner section. The arms don't end up reaching past this cockpit in this mode, making it a bit dubious a design, and the hands fold past straight to 90 degrees up, suggesting something else was intended for them, but it's not a terrible mech suit. I'd argue that this is actually the vehicle mode, and the walking tank is the weapon mode since it's more of a traditional cannon shape, but neither mode has a 5-mm peg that can be gripped by another bot the way the rest of the HA weapon modes have.
The human figure is a basic military guy, really not much going on, he's light colored and has a tiny autobot logo on his chest. Like the other humans in this basic line, he's shorter than the original HA figures and thus his ability to reach the controls of the tank are quite compromised, the head has to be slid all the way back just to get there.
All in all, at $10 this is pretty mediocre, but it's not as bad as packaging, official images, and crummy instructions would suggest.

This one just didn't work for me, so I change it only after a few days:
"You will find it is you are mistaken, about a great, many things." "Like how I kissed my sister? I'm way ahead of you Palpy."
Now I'll try a baseball-related SW line, "until the Boys of Summer have gone."

Which is more important: An individual's needs or the needs of the family? Answer: both A healthy, cohesive family can solve, support and resolve issues which create conflict, distress, reconnect and strengthen the family. All family members are asked to attend family counseling. From time-to-time, I may ask to meet with individual members if it can benefit the family as a whole. Aesop wrote in his fables, "together we stand, divided we fall..." Together the family can be a cohesive unit where all members feel safe, respected, supported and loved.

The Berkeley Post Office and post offices all over the US are under threat of being fraudulently sold!

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS391931
This black vent grille mounts on the top of the microwave above the door.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This white vent grille mounts on the top of the microwave above the door.
The repair was simple and easy. It required a Phillips head screw driver only. I Removed the vent grill and replaced it with the new grill there were only two screws that needed to be removed then refastened. Total five minutes. I also replaced the grease filters which took about a minute total time. I do many of my own repairs to my home and appliances .I've found your service parts delivery prompt and precise.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Removed the old grill. Then loosened the screws on the top of the microwave. Popped the grill in place and tightened the screws. it looks great, works perfectly, and we don't have to replace the unit that we were afraid might be the case.thanks so much for providing these parts that saved us from buying a new microwave oven.
Removed screws holding the broken grill tabs with a phillips screwdriverRemoved broken grill and all broken tabs that fell into the vent areaCleaned area where the new grill was to be placedInserted new grill onto the appropriate tabs and tightened the screwsBE CAREFUL as the tabs on the grill are thin and fragile when you insert the new grill don't force it into the slots, I used a knife as a way to slide the grill into place.
Unscrewed the remaining pieces of bracket slipped in new vent cover and attached with the two screws. Very easy since the web site showed where the vent attached. I saved over $60.00 doing this repair myself!
Removed the old vent grill by removing the two screws and put in the new one.
The part came very quick less than a week. The installation took less than 15 minutes.
I had ordered the parts from Part Select and came with in a week. I ahd a Whrilpool microwave that had a door panel and vent grille that needed to be replaced and that was rplced with ease took less that five minutes to do. My Maytag refridgerator had it kickplate grille replace along with the pivot block that took all of about two minutes. The longest job that took about 5 minutes was my Whirlpool glass oven door that needed to be replaced, but that was pretty ease to replace also with an extra hand from my son. I just didn't want to break another glass door or I would have done it myself plus I was teaching him how to do self reparts.
I was in a panic as no one in our twon had this part. I found PartSelect online and ordered the part. I ordered this part at 4PM and the next day at 2PM the part was at my house. My husband spent 30 seconds screwing it back on and it looks like new. I can't say enough wonderful things about your Company and Customer Service!!! You're the BEST!!!
Replaced it with a new vent grill simply by screwing in on. It works and looks great.
Removed the screws from the damaged sections and replaced the new vent grille. Less than 5 minute fix, and saved me over a 100 dollars according to the quote I got. Thanks
We visited our daughter and son-in-law for Thanksgiving. They asked if I could fasten it so it would stop sagging onto the microwave door. As I looked, I found the screw fasteners were both broken out and the grill was just resting in place. While Thanksgiving dinner was being completed I looked online, found the replacement part and ordered it. The amazing delivery... Ordered on Thursday and delivered on Saturday. It only took a couple of minutes to get the step stool and screwdriver. Then I completed installing the replacement grill.
Took screws off of old vent grille and installed new one. Very easy except my old one was a shiny black grille and this one has a matte finish. Description did not say which but I am fine with the part.
Replaced grill and greese and charcoal filters.
Removed the screws holding the broken tabs and thought the new vent grille would click right into place. I had quite a bit of trouble getting all the tabs lined up to click into place, but was finally able to do it. Then I just used the old screws to secure the new grille.
First, I ordered the part.The part was sent to me within 2 days.Then,I removed the old one that was always falling off and mounted the new one. It was a perfect fit.

Well, we may have a new weird and unexpected pretender to the great sports-crime throne, and this one is right here in our own backyard: the University of Maine Black Bears.
This past week, UMaine Black Bear D-lineman Bryan Grier walked up to a woman in New Hampshire, ordered her to give him the keys to her Jeep Cherokee, and then drove off. An effective way of stealing a vehicle, one supposes, except that it allows the victim to actually see you. Grier was busted almost instantly when others reported a man by the same description acting "erratically" in the nearby area. He was hit with felony theft and misdemeanor "reckless conduct" and robbery charges.
So what, right? Well, it turns out that Grier's is just the most recent in a long line of arrests involving UMaine athletes or coaches since this past spring. Looking back, we remember a few of these cases, such as the November incident in Orono, in which seemingly J-Kidd-inspired freshman hockey player Tanner House made a barroom tit-grab (charges were later dropped). But most of the arrests were small-potatoes stuff (small Maine potatoes, probably), including an OUI for an assistant football coach; a summons for a football player who got into a fight over, not with, a girlfriend; and a couple of charges for a basketball player and a football player who went on a shopping spree with a stolen debit card. Even the bigger cases were devoid of any eyebrow-raising information, unless you count the fact that House, an Albertan, was described in the news as a 21-year-old freshman. Guess they go to school late up there in Canada.
But racking up double-digit arrests in the space of a year is pretty amazing, Florida State–caliber stuff. It got bad enough that UMaine president Robert Kennedy had to institute a new policy for internal discipline that involved doubling the old penalties.
The Grier incident doesn't seem like the usual obnoxious/enabled-since-childhood star athlete running amok. He apparently has psychological issues and has been admitted to a mental-health facility in the wake of the arrest. Still, it can't be the best news for the Black Bears, who appear to have written themselves into national sports coverage with this series of busts. We're giving Grier an Incomplete on his crime score until he's released from the hospital — until then, we'll keep an eye on our neighbors up north.
Not nice beavers
Here's a twist on a fairly common college-jock-crime phenomenon, the target-shooting incident gone horribly wrong. We see about five of these cases a year, and usually it's one of two things: either an offensive lineman tries to shoot cans or bottles with a pellet gun and hits people by accident, or an offensive lineman tries to hit people with a pellet gun and succeeds. But this past week, we had baseball players instead of offensive linemen, and the target-shooting didn't involve a pellet gun, but an actual .22-caliber rifle.

By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Incumbent U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee, R-Miss., has raised $22 for every $1 earned by his Democratic challenger, Brad Morris, since the start of the campaign.
It's the largest fundraising disparity between 1st District congressional candidates since 2006, when then-six-term incumbent Roger Wicker outraised and outspent Democrat Ken Hurt by a margin of 72 to 1.
Morris has raised $73,692 so far, including $29,817 during the past three months. That's double what he raised in the second quarter. But he loaned himself an even larger sum: $41,345 since July and $98,104 total since the start of the campaign.
The Democrat has spent $153,825 so far this race.
With a larger political machine behind him, Nunnelee has amassed more than $1.6 million during the same time, of which $230,598 came in during the third quarter. That's about one-third more than he raised in the second quarter.
He has spent roughly $1.5 million so far this race.
Both candidates say voters – not money – ultimately will decide the election. They believe north Mississippi residents care more about issues like the economy, health care and gas prices than they do about campaign finances.
But money buys candidates' time in front of their prospective voters. The more money, the bigger the audience.
Morris has a clear disadvantage in this area, said Marty Wiseman, executive director of Mississippi State University's John C. Stennis Institute of Government.
"His weakness is obviously the weakness of the Democratic Party and their ability to raise money," Wiseman said. "If Brad Morris had a strong party backing him and helping him raise money and putting boots on the ground, he would be a pretty serious threat."
Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Director RIckey Cole disputed that view, saying Morris has enough funds to be competitive in the general election.
"They won't be counting dollars on Nov. 6," Cole said. "They'll be counting votes."
Campaign finance reports weren't available on the FEC website for the three minor-party candidates running in the 1st Congressional District U.S. House race: Danny Bedwell of the Libertarian Party; Jimmie Ray Bourland of the Constitution Party and Chris Potts of the Reform Party.
Morris said he knew entering the race he would struggle to match his opponent's funding levels. To compensate, he's driving the district to personally deliver his message to as many voters as he can.
The Democrat also has failed to reach the funding levels of his former boss, then-U.S. Rep. Travis Childers.
Childers, for whom Morris was chief of staff and campaign manager, had raised nearly eight times as much at this point in his successful 2008 campaign and 22 times as much in his failed 2010 bid.
Childers lost to Nunnelee, who had nearly matched his war chest that year even though it was his first run for congressional office.
Now an incumbent, Nunnelee has raised even more, though he's still about $25,000 shy of Childers' fundraising efforts at this point two years ago.
Thirty-eight percent of the Republican's contributions in the third quarter came from political action committees, including those established by Halliburton, Mississippi Power Co. and Wendy's.
The rest came from individual donors, most of them Mississippi residents.
Morris got 17 percent of his contributions in the third quarter from PACs versus 83 percent from individuals.

Neuland Laboratories reports EBITDA of $2.27 million in the third quarter of FY 2013, increase of 30.4 percent
Hyderabad: Neuland Laboratories, a pharmaceutical manufacturer providing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), complex intermediates and contract manufacturing services to customers located in 85 countries, announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2013, ended December 31, 2012.
Revenues for the third quarter of FY 2013 were $19.56 million (Rs 1.074 billion), as compared to revenues in the third quarter of FY 2012 of $22.32 million (Rs 1.102 billion), a decrease of 2.5 percent. Neuland reported EBITDA of $2.27 million (Rs 152.25 million) in the third quarter of FY 2013, compared to EBITDA of $1.74 million (Rs 94.50 million) in the comparable period in FY 2012, an increase of 30.4 percent.
The company reported after-tax profits in the third quarter of FY 2013 of $0.56 million (Rs 32.73 million), compared to a loss of $0.62 million (negative Rs 34.00 million) in the third quarter of FY 2012.
"In the third quarter of FY 2013, we reported our fifth consecutive quarter of profitability," said Dr D R Rao , chairman and managing director of Neuland Labs . "During the quarter we also completed a reorganization of Neuland's corporate structure designed to help the company focus on its growth businesses and strengthen its balance sheet. We expect the corporate reorganization and accompanying infusion of new capital will support our efforts to accelerate the growth of our high potential contract manufacturing business, which leverages our core competencies in quality manufacturing, regulatory excellence and superior customer service."
"The increases in profitability reported in the third quarter primarily reflect our continuing success in implementing process improvements to strengthen margins in our current API business, as well as changes in the product mix favoring higher margin products," noted Mr Sucheth R Davuluri, chief executive officer of Neuland Labs . "In addition to supporting these positive trends, we also intend to continue to invest in marketing and business development activities focused on growing our contract manufacturing business, which we view as central to achieving robust profitable growth going forward."

Philadelphia news 11/30
Dont forget Philadelphias 160 birthday celebration Sunday, December 2, beginning at 10:00 A.M. You are invited.
We were reminded that December is the month we give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering and were challenged to pray about he amount we give. Lottie served as a missionary in China for thirty-nine years and would divide her few rations of food with her Christian friends when the famine hit. They sent her home to America and the captain of the ship carried her off it in his arms because she was too weak to walk. She weighed fifty pounds.
Before Brother Bobby preached Mary McCormick brought the special music.
After Brother Bobbys message he led in the observance of the Lords Supper. He always adds to the beauty of the service.
Christine Bates had special company with her at church, her brother and his wife from North Carolina.
Sarah and Roy Ramsey are back at home in Florida after a visit with her sister and her husband, Nancy and Bill Dewbre in New Albany. Nancy said they had such a good time just being together, the Parks cousins get together was a fun time and Sarah was here at the peak of the changing of leaves. I think that is one of the things Sarah misses most about Mississippi, the fall colors.
Robbie Ash had all of her family with her on Thanksgiving day. She said it is not hard to get her family together because they live nearby.
Allethia Coffey had supper with Mike, Nina and family.
Doryce Moore cooked for her son, Jay and his wife. Just as they sat down to the table her phone rang. She answered it, her grand children from Texas were calling but she told them shed call back as soon as they ate because they were seated and ready to have the blessing.
John Jim and Mary Bonds, B. J. and Sue Harvey and Tom and Marijon Bates went to eat turkey and the trimmings with Gary and Martha Bonds.
Geraldine Coffey had all her family present for the noon meal.
The Traveling Johnsons, Earl and Carol visited their grandson, Ray and his family in New Mexico.
I am always glad to see out students home for the holidays. Joshua McCormick was home from Mississippi College and sang in our choir. He told me he was debating again this year. In fact, he said he is in a tournament this week so Ill be glad to know how that turns out. Haley Coffey is usually home on weekends from Northeast. Hunter Irvin was smiling because MS State won Friday.
Cris Wait is a State alumnus and is always pulling for them to win, whoever they play.
At one of our church parties last year husbands and wives were asked the same question but were kept apart. Cris was asked what TV station they watched the most and he readily said, ESPN. When his wife Phyllis was asked the same question she said, ESPN. With two sons, sports are an important part of their TV watching.
I wondered if Joe and Helen Browning and their granddaughters had the traditional turkey or some Cajun cooking. He told me that is what he misses most since they moved here, Louisiana Cajun cooking.
Camille, Tahya and I met Candy in Hamilton, AL and I went with Candy to spend the holiday with the Pattersons. I couldnt believe Ginna Bess was talking so well. She celebrated her second birthday and that was quite a party. When she would open a present, especially a toy she wanted to play with it right then and didnt understand why she couldnt. If the package contained clothing she thought she should wear it then.

Hotmail may have been a hot commodity nearly 20 years ago, back when "The Rachel" haircut and Air Jordans were all the rage, but there's no denying Google's Gmail has become the go-to mode of communication for the more than 425 million users it caters to. What started out as a simple email provider on the Web in 2004 has quickly blossomed into the most popular email client on the face of the planet, one in which we all rely to send job applications, keep in touch with friends, and sign up for myriad God-awful services we probably don't need in our everyday lives. It's also incredibly feature-rich and resourceful — loaded with labels, keyboard shortcuts, two-step authentication, and a variety of functions — along with tools for chatting, calling, and virtually hanging out with other users in a matter of seconds.
Despite the sheer level of integration with the Google ecosystem and the downright awesomeness it exudes though, Gmail has been known to catch a case of the Mondays from time to time, occasionally suffering from widespread outages that cripple the bevvy of users who solely rely on the cloud-based service for all their work-related and personal needs. Thankfully, there is more than one way to back up your Gmail account and associated emails should the service falter or delete your data due to a software bug (it has happened). Pre-installed and freemium desktop email clients like Thunderbird are a simple means of backing up any email account, as is Microsoft Outlook, but there are additional methods for those seeking third-party support and greater flexibility regarding their Gmail backups. Still, using either, or both, is never a bad idea.
Here's our comprehensive guide on how to back up your Gmail account so you'll never have to worry about access your email directory or the cloud giving you trouble in those dire times when you need it most. Additionally, check out our quick guide on how to get the most of Gmail.
Choose your method:
- Back up using desktop email clients
- Back up using Gmail Backup
- Other third-party backup services
Back up using desktop email clients (Windows/Mac OS X/Linux)
In today's constantly-connected world of communication, everyone has a desktop email client. Perhaps you're using the mail application that came pre-installed on your Mac, or maybe the bundled version of Microsoft Outlook you recently picked up, or less likely, the downloaded version of the Mozilla-based Thunderbird. Whichever email client you choose to use, each allows users to download messages directly from Gmail's servers onto your computer thanks to various email-retrieval protocols like POP and IMAP. Keep in mind you will be required to input an application-specific password the first time a client asks for your login credentials if using Google's two-step verification. Regardless, follow the instructions below to enable the IMAP protocol within Gmail while using the standard view of the email client.
Step 1: Access Gmail settings — Navigate and sign in to your Gmail inbox. Afterward, click the gear icon in the top-right corner the page, beneath your profile image, and select Settings from the resulting drop-down menu.
Step 2: Enable IMAP — Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab located in the top navigation bar and select the bubble directly left of Enable IMAP within the IMAP Access section. Afterward, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to apply the new settings.
Back up using Thunderbird (Windows, Max OS X, Linux)
Step 1: Download, install, and launch Thunderbird — Assuming you don't have Thunderbird already, navigate to the Thunderbird download page, and click the green download button to obtain the free email application. Afterward, launch the installer, follow the installation wizard instructions and open the program when finished.
Step 2: Add your Gmail account — Once opened, select the Email option within the Accounts section and click the gray Skip this and use my existing email button in the bottom-left corner of the resulting pop-up window. Afterward, enter your name, Gmail address, corresponding password, and click the gray Continue button at the bottom of the window. Click the Done button when finished and occasionally launch Thunderbird to ensure you're always up-to-date with the latest emails.
Back up using Apple's Mail app (Mac OS X)
Step 1: Access account settings — Launch the Mail application, click the Mail menu in the main application taskbar, and select Preferences near the top of the resulting drop-down menu. Afterward, click the Accounts tab in the top-left corner of the resulting window.
Step 2: Add your Gmail account — Click the the addition button in the bottom-left corner of the tab, select Google from the list of available mail accounts, and enter your name, Gmail address, and corresponding password before clicking the flashing Set Up button in the bottom right-corner of the window. Afterward, select the Mail app and click the flashing Done button in the bottom-right corner. Additionally, make sure to occasionally launch Mail to ensure you're always up-to-date with the latest emails.
Back up using Outlook (Windows)
Step 1: Access account settings — Launch Microsoft Outlook, click the orange File menu in the top-left corner of the application, and click the Add Account button near the top of the Info pane accessible from the left-hand navigation column.
Step 2: Add your Gmail account — Select the bubble directly left of the E-mail account option and enter your name, Gmail address, and corresponding password. Click the gray Next button at the bottom followed by the Finished button when done. Also, occasionally launch Outlook to ensure you're always up-to-date with the latest emails.

It's very fair to count the Cincy game, they played starters for a half and we whipped them.
Bal and Pitt got SWEPT by Cincy, the jets went 2-0 against Cincy.
so we were better in common games in 2010 too?
The point is not that we were better just that we were on the same level, since the last 3 games of 2011 we have dropped off. Pitt has dopped off too but that's mostly b/c Ben got hurt.
I'm not ddebating 2011 and 2012, they were better than us both years obviously. It's about 2009 & 2010.
again, Pitt and Bal don't have to go through NE so they get home playoff games. it makes life easier.

MF Doom, perhaps the most legendary figure in underground hip hop, recorded a single album for Big Dada in 2003 as King Geedorah, a giant three-headed lizard from outer space. One of the few records of his career to be entirely self-produced, written, recorded, arranged, mixed and mastered (though with a variety of vocal guests including Kurious and Scienz Of Life), it occupies a unique place in his catalogue.
Doom's career in hip hop goes right back to the early '90s when, known as Zev Love X, he was a central member of nu skool phenomenons KMD. Dropped by Elektra for refusing to change 'controversial' cover artwork, tragedy was heaped on top of disappointment when Zev Love's brother and fellow band member, Subroc, was killed in a car accident. The young MC and producer vanished from the hip hop scene and was, to some extent, forgotten. In 1998, though, he re-emerged on Bobbito Garcia's classic label Fondle 'Em as MF Doom and over the next few years cemented his place as one of the most important names on the underground scene, 'Operation: Doomsday' was hailed as a classic and KMD's 'lost' album, 'Black Bastards' finally saw the light of day. A generation of musicians have grown up in awe of him and he has released a succession of acclaimed albums.

Enjoy this baked chicken layered upon cream cheese and pepper sauce made using Original Bisquick® mix – dinner ready for six.
Use ranch dressing instead of the blue cheese dressing. Cheddar cheese can be used in place of the Swiss cheese.
The standing time for this pie allows the pie to set up before cutting.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

When a fragile peace breaks down and promptly devolves into a rapidly escalating shooting war between Pakistan and India, the United States is forced to intervene. With only hours remaining before the conflict reaches a deadly point of no return, the White House must find a way to shut it down immediately - or risk the likelihood of a new global war.
A radical cleric has become the democratically elected president of Pakistan and uses a brutal incident in the Kashmir region as an opportunity to ignite war with India. The highly lethal conventional war spins out of control when Pakistan initiates a nuclear attack. India is on the verge of launching their own nuclear response, one that will have unimaginably disastrous results for both the United States and the world at large.
With only one chance to head this off, the president of the United States sends in his best people to do whatever it takes to restore the fragile peace to the region. With the clock ticking and Pakistan in the hands of a religious radical willing to do anything to destroy India, there remains only one viable option: to execute a coup d'état in Pakistan.
There is only one man with the skills and experience to infiltrate the live war theater and remove the Pakistani president from power. Only one man the White House can trust. His name: Dewey Andreas. Now they have to find him before time runs out.
From the author of the critically acclaimed thriller Power Down comes the latest ripped-from-the-headlines novel featuring his indelible and indomitable protagonist, the unforgettable Dewey Andreas.
Also listen to Power Down.

"Dewey Andreas Saves the Day ... Again!"
I enjoyed Power Down by the same author so decided to get this one as well. No regrets. The same semi super-hero main character (Dewey Andreas) from Power Down is in Coup D'Etat and once again he takes us on a wild ride that kept me listening at all hours. The plotline is excellent, characters are perfect for the plot and the pace is nice and fast, just how I most enjoy listening. Definitely recommend for thriller lovers. Plenty of action!
"The Story Continues..."
I really enjoyed the first book "Power Down" - and Dewey Andreas did not let us down. Dewey is not our typical protagonist he has these moments where you see his soft side but then he flips that switch and he becomes scary bad. Only thing I think drew away from this was the reader - you could hear him breath in right before he spoke after a while I did not notice it but it was distracting at first.
Dont let the narrarator ruin your listening to a good book! I read waaay to many "critics" who go on and on about a bad narrarater, so what!
"Maybe even better than the first one!"
Great follow up to the first book, READ THE FIRST BOOK FIRST. One NOTE TO THE AUTHOR, guns do NOT have NOZZLES!! I suspect this is an editorial mess up, they have barrels, and muzzles but NOT nozzles. The editor uses this word exclusivley throught both Andreas books and its drivin me NUTSO! Of course our hero kills all the bad guys and sits and stews about the injustice of the world and woe is me crap. Please, stop with the tortured warrior stuff, nobobdy buys it and if they hated it so much, THEY'D QUIT!
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"New Dewey Andras thriller, First Strike, 6-28-2016"
First Strike is not listed yet in "Coming Soon" at Audible, but I'm certain the audiobook will be released on June 28, 2016.
2010 was a banner year for espionage thrillers as Ben Coes and Mark Greaney released their first novels. Both authors are now in the top tier of espionage thriller authors with their Dewey Andras and Gray Man novels respectively. I have previously reviewed 3 of the Dewey Andras series including Book 1, Power Down. This review is for Book 2, Coup d'Etat.
I love all of the novels in this series, but this one is my favorite. Dewey Andras is trying to avert all out nuclear war between Pakistan and India as a conventional war wages. The suspense is intense and Andras' life is constantly on the line. Novels simply do not get better than this!
David de Vries narrates well, but I was happy to see Peter Hermann return for the rest on the novels in this soon to be 6 novel series.
Highly recommended without any reservation!
"Decent Listen"
I liked the book, just not as much as Coes first effort, Power Down. I like the main character (think Mitch Rapp or Jack Reacher if you listen to this genre); but felt he was a bit less gritty in this book vs the first in the series. Secondly, the first book did a nice job of providing insight to an industry I knew little about (the energy industry) and I like when books are well researched and informative. This book didn't attempt to weave any historically accurate or real modern day politics into the story; which in itself is fine but it is something I appreciate. All in all enjoyable but if there is a third book in the series I hope it is closer to Power Down than Coup D'Etat.
I can see why Vince Flynn and others say Cole is a new author to watch. This is one of the best action/espionage books I've read in a long time. It is non stop action and yet not like a video game. It is believable,scary and very exciting all at the same time. I'm really looking forward to reading anything else that Cole writes in the series!! If you like Ludlum, Flynn and other books like them, you will absolutely love this one! Don't miss it!!!!
"Dewey Andreas, my new favorite superhero!"
Power Down, Coes' first book--riveting, exciting, almost non-stop action.
Dewey Andreas is a character in the mold of Jack Reacher from Lee Childs, Mitch Rapp from Vince Flynn, and John Wells from Alex Berenson--morally superior guys fighting for justice and always in the thick of a problem, but with special skills: CIA assasins, ex-Seals, and Military Police investigators. They can be hard to keep apart, as fans of this genre know, but they can be counted on to beat any number of bad guys eventually, save the girl/country/world, and even make mistakes once in awhile to keep them (almost) human. Dewey is the best of the bunch, in my view, and both of the Dewey Andreas books are superbly exciting with just enough believable current events to make them very hard to put down.
"Intellectual Thriller - Awsome"
Definitly in the Top 10% which is saying something, since all I read or listen to are political thrillers.
Ben Coes is clearly a man that does in depth research before writing his books. This is the second book in the Dewey Andreas series. Andreas is the hero that was introduced in Coes first book of the series Power Down, where Andreas is a supervisor on an Oil Rig off South America when terrorists attack and destroy the platform, throwing the hero into action to protect his country (the United States) and seek revenge. In Coup d?????tat, Andreas is "Called to Action" by the President of the United States, who following the events of the previous book, now sees Andreas as a National Asset and the only man that can carry out the mission. Andreas, leading a quiet life on a ranch in Australia, is tasked with overthrowing the corrupt leader of Pakistan before he drops another nuclear warhead on India.
Like most people, I am not clear on all of the inter-relations and workings of the various Middle East groups and governments. What Ben Coes describes and paints in this book, certainly "feels" right and because of that, the reader is almost immediately sucked in to the idea that a corrupt leader brought to power in a nuclear State like Pakistan really could drop a bomb on a nuclear India and throw the world into irrevocable war.
If there is a criticism, I would have to say it is in the unnecessary detail that at some points causes the story to labor (just a bit) and distracts from the action. For example, it seems our hero, Dewey Andreas, cannot get into a shootout with anyone without a full catalog description of the weapons everyone is using including Manufacturer, Model, sub-models, iterations of the weapon not involved in the battle but available if one were to have wanted it, the ammo, rate of fire, etc. etc. etc. Now I like detail, but at some point, I found myself just wanting a nice simple good guy bad guy shootout.
That said, all of the details, be they true or fiction I don't know, seem to be plausible if not true. The cause and effect of the various action choices seem to be realistic, and the flow of the story is so seemingly possible that one wonders if the story plot is actually drawn from real plans once uncovered by intelligence people somewhere.
Good, fun, thought provoking story.

"Not quite as good as the first book"
No but I still enjoyed it!
Excitement, intrigue, action.
It was adequate. But it felt more like listening to a documentary and not a performance.
Yes but I don't want to spoil anything.
It would be hard to follow the excellent "Power Down." This one is still good, just not as good as the last.
"Enjoyed it a lot"
Don't listen to this one until you've heard his first novel, "Power Down". The main character continues his journey in this book. I heard that these are Ben Coes first novels, if so, I think he's doing something right. Enjoyed both stores very much.

Happy Birthday Jim Jam, even though you forgot about my birthday this year.
Have a good day and go see ROTS for a lil' b-day treat.
Hell, it dawned on me today that I met you right around your 15th birthday, so you were maybe 14 and now technically speaking I have known you half your life.
Scary !
Anyway, what's with all these August birthdays and respective threads ?
