Then, one hot August night, Sarah comes home to hear the phone ringing. When she picks it up, a child's terrified voice whispers, "Mommy, help, come and get me . . ." The call is cut off, but not before Sarah's heart goes into overdrive: she is sure the voice belonged to Lexie. Five-year-old Lexie. Though seven years have passed, she sounds exactly the same.
Frantic, Sarah turns to the police, the FBI, and her co-workers at the County Prosecutor's office, none of whom takes the call seriously. The only person she can count on to help her is Jake Hogan, her closest friend in the world, the man who has provided a strong shoulder for her to lean on throughout the long search. A former FBI agent, Jake is now a P.I., and though he is skeptical about the authenticity of the call, the attraction he feels for Sarah pushes him to help her. He is convinced someone is deliberately tormenting the grief-stricken mother.
Their long friendship explodes into a romance as they try to figure out who, and why - and what happened to Lexie. When the torment escalates to murder, Jake is the only one who can keep Sarah safe. Together, they are caught up in a nightmare search for Lexie that just might end with Sarah's death.

"Great listen"
This is the first book I listened to by Karen Robards and I couldn't put it down. A credit well spent. I will definitely buy more from her library.
Nyoka Mullins
I found this book to be a tear dropper and I could feel the pain for the Mother, I know it's only a book, but I found myself being in the same position, it's like I was there in the book. Good one, I recommend it.
Semi retired magazine editor and part time university adjunct instructor who is often distracted by his 10-year-old daughter.
"Average story that will pass the time"
This tale was predictable and replete with an interesting cast of characters. It was not too difficult to figure out where the story was going but its predictability did not really detract from the listen. A few of the minor characters were a stretch but nonetheless interesting. The story ended where one would anticipate it ending. If you are need of a relaxing listen, this book may be for you.
"A GREAT story with a GREAT ending."
It was a mystery, romance and some thriller all in one.
The author brought the plot and the character all in a full circle. A very smooth but yet mysterious journey.
Saving Sweet Pea from the gator!!
A great author. This was my first. I will listen to more of Karen Robard's books.
Seeking the Truth
"Avoid "Vanished" .... Please!"
First of all, do not get this "Vanished" mixed up with the excellent book also entitled "Vanished" but written by Joseph Finder; they are not of the same subject or quality. "Vanished" as written by Karen Robards is not unique in any way, and I do not recommend it.
Ms. Robards' "Vanished" is the very over-used story about every parent's nightmare; a woman's six-year-old daughter vanishes in a busy park and is never found. But 10 years after the girl's disappearance, the Mother begins to receive strange phone calls from her long-gone daughter, wanting to come home. The Mother, of course, panics and begans frantically looking for her little girl. At this point, the story starts going downhill quickly; for example, It's immediately apparent to the reader that the calls could not possibly be from the daughter. The voice on the phone sounds like a typical six-year-old child, but the reader is thinking: WAIT; wouldn't the daughter be 16 or 17 now and presumably not still have the same baby voice and lisp that the Mother's six year old had when she first disappeared? Someone finally figures that out, but not until a lot of panicky scenes have occurred and not until the reader has became a little agitated at being treated like an idiot.
But the real tragedy occurs not with the very trite subject but with the narrator. Joyce Bean does an excellent job when she stays in the voice of female characters. However, in the audiobook, when Ms. Bean first starts growling out the voice of her supposed male lover, I laughed, then cringed, then was rather creeped out. Her boyfriend, as voiced by Ms. Bean, sounds exactly like a cranky old woman, a life-long smoker with a resulting scratchy throat. At first it wasn't much of a problem listening to Ms. Bean trying to make her voice sound an octave deeper than it could actually go, but it was a Big Problem during the "romance" scenes: since we cannot "see" the sexy scenes, all we can picture in our minds are a young woman and a grouchy old cigarette-smoking old lady with male genitalia. And, no, I am not homophobic or transgender-phobic, and I usually have little problem with a female reading a man's part in an audiobook. But Joyce Bean needs to stick with narration of female characters only (and at which she is very good), and the author needs to quite trying save a buck by not hiring both a male and a female for naration of her romance novels.
"A Sad Bodice Ripper"
The book's heroine is deep in grief. Her colleague is in love with her. I listened to find out what happened to the little girl, but even that plot didn't hold together too well.
Join me on GoodReads too!
"I Am Torn!"
I liked it in general, yet I was annoyed the whole way through.
The scenes were SO LONG it made me wonder what the book was ultimately supposed to be about. A shooting at the convenience store? A kidnapping? A murder plot? A ghost story? A courtroom drama? A love story? WHAT!!!!! Plus there was WAAAAY TOOOO MUUUUCH emphasis on what everyone was wearing all the time. Ugh! Spare me! Who cares!
I was never sure which tangent was the "a-story" and which one was the "b-story". You kind of assume that if an author goes into that much detail and spends that much time on any given scene it's because it matters and has a direct link to the main story, but in this book I was never sure about the ultimate plot. It felt like a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing.
The ending felt stereotypically silly - yet I doubt anything would have pleased me by that point! Still, I cared enough about the characters to see how it all would end up. I was curious (to various degrees) about all the storylines so I suppose I have to give it a pass!
"Needs a good editing"
I'm only partway through the book; at the point of trying to decide if I'm going to continue or not.
The writing suffers from an abundance of non-essential details, and the author uses three descriptors where one would have been sufficient. I'm a dog person, and even I found her multiple descriptions of Sweetie Pie tedious. And, I'm starting to count the number of times she uses "the thing is".
I would have been much happier if the narrator had used her normal voice for the character "Jake" -- her growly, constricted voice has me hating the guy.
"Great read!"
The story of a mom who can't give up on her missing daughter was one that caught my attention from the beginning. Narrator Joyce Bean did a good job on this. My only complaint is that the story is resolved too quickly. The whys are answered over lots of pages and all of a sudden, here's the end. It's almost as if an editor decided the book was getting too long and had the conclusion down to a few pages.
"Too many details"
I find myself wanting to get it over with...
The main charachter Sarah with her emotions...I understand how she would be upset but it was just never ending back and forth. Too many details made the story really drag.
Yes...she did horrible with the male voices...I agree with another listener when she said it sounded like a old woman who was a chain smoker instead of a sexy PI.
It wasn't bad but I probably won't listen to it again.

I have been programming for over 15 years and things seemed pretty straight forward to start with in Unity, but I have run into a learning curve snag. I am attempting to put together a short C# script that will answer many questions for me as to how to properly code these projects and have a two part question. As a simple example I will have 2 objects, a point light and a cube. The cube will be invisible or not, that part is irrelevant. When the player walks through the cube the light will come on. The script should be straight forward, changing the intensity of the light from 0 to any larger number. Here's my issues. I assume that the cube should be a "trigger" and the script is attached to the cube, not the light. I both named the light and gave it a tag. It seemed that reference wants me to use "FindWithTag" to create a reference to the light. I do that just fine with no errors, but when adding the Instantiate line to the script I get an ""Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement"" error. I assume that the line The whole thing is a little confusing to me and the documentation is put together in an odd sort of way. The second part of the question is simply whether I need to call an onCollision or not, it would seem that calling that function would simply be redundant. Thanks in advance. i choose to work on this short example because it will literally answer about a dozen questions for a person like me and open the whole deal up for me. I ended up figuring this one out after a bit of work. For anyone else that is having the same issue I am giving the short version. You can use the "Find" or "FindWithTag" to find a GameObject. Let's say in my above example that the line I used to find it is... theholder=GameObject.Find("thelight"); you can then use a second reference to access the light portion of that GameObject as in... mylight=theholder.light; From there you can refer to mylight as a light and make appropriate changes.

Hi Everyone!! Happy to have found this thread - thank you!! - it has helped me out tremendously. I do have one question, however, with the script. Perhaps this is more of a C# question, but I thought I would ask it in the context of this thread. I can write the script in the following two ways, and the outcome is the same: 1)
In the 1st script, I'm confused what "Light mylight;" actually does? Am I adding a "Light" component to my referenced "myLight"? If so - this seems redundant compared to the second script. And is there any reason why I would prefer one over the other? Thank you so much in advance - I'm also learning how Unity/C# referencing works. Sincerely, kropcke

From there you can refer to mylight as a light and make appropriate changes. Also good. See the Script reference for list of 'handy' components you can do that with (like audio, animation, etc.) For other components, you need to GetComponent()

Hope this helps

You can only use simple expressions to initialize a public variable, not UnityEngine functions like FindXXX or GetComponent. You should search the object at Start: public GameObject myitem; void Start(){ myitem = GameObject.FindWithTag("Finish"); } In this case, myitem is a GameObject reference. GameObject is the basic object to which specific components are added. When you create a Light, for instance, actually a GameObject is created and a Light component is added to it. You must use the property light to access Light stuff, like this:
Finally: if the collider is a trigger, only OnTrigger events will be generated. If it's a regular collider, only OnCollision events will happen.

I will have to look into the last part about drag and drop along with a var. I ended up with a very simple code... using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class mytest : MonoBehaviour {
This was not really something that I needed to do, just an example that helped me understand the basic referencing setup in Unity. For this point I can now go a lot further now that I see how the relationships work, thanks for the answers.

Chitwan National Park
The Chitwan National Park lies south-west of Kathmandu close to the Indian frontier and is included in the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage sites. Protected within the park are remnants of the jungle which once covered the Indian sub-continent from the Indus in Pakistan to the Burmese border. Chitwan is located in the Rapti Valley, largest of the flat "dun" valleys of the inner Tarai separating the Siwalik hills in the south from the mountains of the Mahabharat chain to the north.
The northern section of the park takes in the floodplains of the rivers Reu, Rapti and Narayani, a flat region of grassland, swamps and lakes 150 m (500 ft) above sea level. To the south Chitwan extends into the hills of the Siwalik range (600 m (1970 ft)).The Chitwan National Park covers some 932 sq. km (360 sq. mi.), forming, with the adjacent Parsa Game Reserve, a conservation area 1431 sq. km (552 sq. mi.) in extent. More than 70 per cent is sal forest, its thick undergrowth providing a habitat for many species of animal.Until the 1950s the Tarai was a feared malaria area settled only by the Tharu, a tribe apparently immune to the disease. The jungle and malaria together formed an effective natural barrier on Nepal's southern flank. The Ranas however had another reason for protecting the forests. They used Chitwan as a private hunting preserve, in which neither settlement nor any exploitation of resources was allowed.Despite excessive hunting it was not this that drastically reduced the animal numbers. It took modern ideas of progress to achieve that. In 1955 a large-scale operation using DDT rid the Tarai of malaria.Under a project funded by major international development agencies, the Rapti Valley became a model of land utilization. Hundreds of farmers left the mountains for the plain and by the early 1960s almost two-thirds of the once-forested region had given way to the plough.The loss of jungle led to a rapid decline in animal numbers. As early as 1962 creation of a rhino reserve was being contemplated, an undertaking which required the relocation of 22,000 Nepalese. By 1973 the number of rhinos had fallen to 100 and only 20 Bengal tigers survived.The Royal Chitwan National Park was founded the same year. Other reserves followed. But within a decade or so almost all the jungle had disappeared from the Tarai apart from these few green "islands". Nepal's largest agricultural and industrial area had been born.The autumn season, especially attractive on account of the clear weather, starts in September. Early on however the rivers remain swollen with the monsoon rains and can only be crossed on elephant back. The best time to visit Chitwan is from October to February. Average temperatures hover about 25°C (77°F), although the mornings can be quite cool.In April thunderstorms bring a foretaste of monsoon storms to come. From March to June, the pre-monsoon period, temperatures in the shade can be as high as 43°C (109°F). The monsoon rains are particularly heavy in the Tarai; the ground becomes swampy, the rivers swell and crossing becomes difficult. The leech population also multiplies. Most resorts remain closed this time of the year. While the vegetation is especially luxuriant immediately after the monsoon, most trees flower later during the winter months.
Related Attractions
The abundant wildlife in Chitwan National Park includes 50 mammal species, 400 types of birds, a large reptile population, and 67 different species of butterfly. Rhinos are one of the main attractions.
Animal Watching from Hides
In addition to safaris on foot and elephant back, hides offer animal watchers another way of pursuing their passion. Known as machans these wooden towers are usually erected in clearings crossed by game paths. Dawn and dusk are the best times for observing red deer and rhinos. Big cats, on the other hand, are seldom seen (ask the game warden whether a night vigil is likely to bring any reward). Until a few years ago it was possible to watch these magnificent creatures from the safety of an observation post at the "Tiger Tops" resort, food being put out every night to lure them into the glare of floodlights. This irresponsible practice, wholly inappropriate for a reserve, led to the tigers becoming spoilt by feeding. Losing the knack of hunting more fleet-footed animals, they came to rely on easier prey such as grazing cows and goats, increasing the likelihood of attacks on human beings. The possibly fatal effects of feeding were eventually realized and the practice was stopped. As a result it is now difficult to catch a glimpse of a tiger. Even so, a night spent in a machan surrounded by the noises of the jungle can still be a uniquely worthwhile experience.
Elephant Rides
Elephant rides are one of Chitwan's major attractions. Wild boar, red deer and other creatures of the jungle can be observed, in the morning and evening especially, from the back of one of these agreeable pachyderms. It has the further advantage that rhinos can be approached without danger. Quite apart from the animals, the lush vegetation and jungle chorus - a cacophony of different sounds depending on the time of day - make such a ride an unforgettable experience. It is also of course a marvelous opportunity to learn about elephants.A number of Chitwan's resorts have special programs for visitors keen to know more about elephants. Another option is a visit to the Elephant Breeding Center 4 km (21/2 mi.) from Sauruha.
Tharu Dancing
Traditional Tharu dancing is a popular evening entertainment at Chitwan's resorts. The Tharu first became known for their immunity to malaria, which allowed them to settle in the malaria breeding-grounds of the Tarai. Villages where old Tharu customs still survive are found in the vicinity of the National Park. Elsewhere in the Tarai these traditions have largely disappeared, the result of mixing with migrants from the mountains. Performed by groups of young men Tharu stick dancing combines strength, rhythm, skill and grace. Members of the audience are sometimes invited to join in. The dances and traditional costumes provide an intriguing glimpse of Tharu culture.
Canoeing on Chitwan's rivers is an excellent way of observing waterfowl. The park's freshwater dolphins and crocodiles, however, are seldom seen. The high temperatures experienced in the park make bathing in the river an attractive proposition; water-holes are also very tempting for a swim. Watching the elephants showering is a particular treat. A full-grown elephant can suck up about 9 liters of water with his trunk and will spray himself - and, sometimes, out of sheer devilment, his rider too - on command.
Chitwan Park - White-Water Rafting
A combined white-water rafting expedition and jungle safari represents the ultimate adventure. Many travel agents and a number of the Chitwan resorts organize rafting expeditions on the Trisuli River as far as Chitwan. The river trip alone takes two to three days, beginning at or upstream of Mugling and finishing in Narayanghat.
Gharial Breeding Centre
The Gharial Breeding Centre is situated on the banks of the Rapti River near Kasara. Here the long-snouted gavial has been bred since 1980. A 35 per cent survival rate for the young (compared with 2 per cent in the wild) testifies to the success of the operation. More than 300 crocodiles have already been released in the rivers of Chitwan.
Kasara Durbar, Nepal
Kasara Durbar, about 20 km (121/2 mi.) south-west of Sauruha, is the headquarters of the park administration whose offices occupy the Ranas' former hunting lodge built in the 1930s. Nearby a little museum is packed with stuffed animals and animal heads. An information center can be found at the park entrance in Sauraha.
Bikram Babu
The deity of the little jungle temple, Bikram Babu, is venerated for his gift of fertility. Sacrificial offerings are made to him following the birth of a long awaited child.
Jeep Safaris
Jungle safaris by jeep make it possible to explore the length and breadth of the National Park.
Jungle Walks & Treks
Jungle excursionsThe jungle is best experienced on foot. Although vegetation and wildlife can be observed from the safety and comfort of an elephant's back, nothing can match the walker's sense of excitement at complete immersion in the jungle world. Alert for possible dangers the senses become receptive to a myriad impressions - plants, animal tracks, smells and sounds. Never go without a guide. Their expertise is the surest protection against danger. Their knowledge of the trees, grasses, animal tracks and animal behavior, not to mention their tales of first hand experiences, also enrich and enliven the walk.Jungle treks, generally lasting two or three days, are organized by all the good Chitwan resorts, providing a vivid, first-hand experience of jungle life. Itineraries take visitors into the Churia hills where wild elephants still roam. At Sauruha guides are available for independent hire on a one-to-one or small-group basis. One of the most popular two-day treks goes from Sauruha via the Lami Valley to Kasara. There the river is crossed to Jagatpur for a night spent in a village inn. Next morning the bus is taken to Gitanagar from where the trek is resumed, following the watercourse to the myriad small lakes of the Bis Hajaar Valley before returning to Sauruha the same evening. Trekkers are expected to provide their own food though packed meals can be obtained from the inns.
There are some natural attractions worth visiting which are located outside of the park. There are also interesting towns and villages in the surrounding area.
Elephant Breeding Centre
The road to the Elephant Breeding Center 4 km (21/2 mi.) west of Sauruha passes through a number of Tharu villages. At the time of writing there were 26 elephants and at the center, which is also a mine of information about these fascinating creatures.The Asian elephant, weighing about 5 tons and standing 2.7 m (9ft) high, is a little smaller than his African cousin. Elephants sleep standing up, about three hours at a time; they are simply too big to lie down. Lying for more than an hour would damage their internal organs. The course of an elephant's life is not dissimilar to that of a human being, working from the age of 15 to 55, then enjoying about ten years of retirement. When elephants get old their skin color changes from bluey-grey to pink.
Bis Hajaar Valley
The name of this wetland area means "valley of 20,000 lakes". The small lagoons scattered throughout the sal forest provide a breeding ground for many water-birds.
Lothar Khola
On the main road approximately 30 km (181/2 mi.) east of the National Park lies the small village of Lothar. Next to the bridge the Lothar Khola tumbles down in a series of little waterfalls, excellent for bathing and for bird watching.

To nail that tee shot on a tight golf course or hit that Par 5 in two you're going to need a good quality fairway wood.

One of your most important purchases is a set of golf irons. The steel or graphite shaft is probably the biggest single investment you will make regarding your golf equipment, as golf irons are used for a variety of shots on the golf course.

It is a saying that 'Driver for Show, Putt for Dough'. But, the old cliché has never been truer and we all know that getting that ball in the hole is the objective - even if it is nice to hit the ball hundreds of yards down the course. Technology in Putters has been increasing in the last decade with 2 ball and 3 ball golf putters which give valuable alignment aids and have revolutionised putting. While the new anti skid faces get the golf ball rolling forward quicker and minimise side spin that can send the golf ball off target. The latest milled faces provide an amazingly perfect face to hit the golf ball with. Golf putters are personal so please choose one that suits you. It might be worth, experimenting with shaft length, standard is 35 inches but a shorter one may suit and your game style. View Golf Putters.

Hybrid Golf Clubs and Hybrid Irons - Woods
The new sector of the Golf Equipment market mustn't be ignored by beginner or seasoned professionals. Golf Hybrid Clubs or Rescue Clubs, as they are sometimes known, were invented to replace the hard to hit long irons and have made 1 and 2 irons virtually obsolete. Higher handicap golfers have also had great success replacing their 3, 4 or even 5 irons with a Hybrid Golf Club. This type of golf club comes with a head that is a cross between a wood and an iron and the shaft is typically the length of an iron. This setup and design allows golf manufacturers to create a very forgiving golf club that are easy to hit high from any lie but give the control normally associated with an iron rather than a fairway wood. The top name manufacturers are Callway, Cleveland, Taylormade and Founders Clubs. Get yourself a Hybrid Golf Club today and replace your 1, 2, or even, 3, 4, and 5 iron to help reduce your handicap and performance on the course. As with all our Golf Equipment products, you can get these Hybrid Golf Clubs at Cheap Golf Club prices in the Just Golf Online sale. View Hybrid Golf Clubs.

Yankee Romance has been on my calendar for a while, and I've had a note to myself that I would write on the topic of mothers and daughters. (The book I have out this month is DEMON EX MACHINA, which is book 5 in the Demon Hunting Soccer Mom books, and as you might guess, the parent child relationship is important in those books).
So here I am now writing the blog, and sure enough, that's my topic, because mothers and daughters are the only thing on my mind at the moment.
Today, my mother had a stroke.
I'm still trying to get my head around that new addition to my reality. It's not as though I didn't know something like this would happen eventually. I've seen my father face the aftermath of complications following heart surgery. I've mourned the loss of various friends' parents to cancer or heart attacks. I've spent my life trying to get my mom to stop smoking because of all the horrible things that can result—and, apparently, did. (And thank you in advance to everyone who sends sympathy. It's too early to tell exactly what the prognosis is, but I'm optimistic that she's going to be okay, albeit faced with a long road of physical therapy).
So it's not as if I've been blind to the possibility, but awareness isn't the same as experience, and that's true even if you've held your best friend's hand through the loss of a parent.
The news of the stroke hit me hard, as did seeing my mom in a hospital bed, something I'd never seen before.
I'm not really qualified to speak to the mother daughter relationship other than as I've experienced it, both as a daughter and now as a mom. So that's what I'm doing—talking about mom, vis a vis me.
As a daughter, it always felt like we were a team, my mom and me, and a lot of that probably stems from the fact that I was raised from the age of seven by a single mom. I was perfectly capable of amusing myself (or losing myself in books for amusement), but at the same time, I always felt like it was me and mom against the world, and I think that a lot of that colors the relationship between Allie and Kate in the demon hunter books. Though Kate is a single mom only for a few years, there's a definite bond between the two of them, a proprietary tug that Kate feels for Allie that she's both aware of and that somewhat shames her when she excludes her second husband (Allie's stepfather) from decisions regarding Allie's welfare. As for Allie, her world really is her mom, and when things (albeit weird things) start to shift that perspective, she has to work extra hard to keep her balance.
They're a team, and that's how I envisioned them even in the early books before secrets were revealed and the plot, as they say, thickened. (If you haven't read the books, I recommend reading them in order. There's all sorts of family stuff that unfolds over the course of multiple books).
I think (hope) that every girl's relationship with her mother is special. I look at my own girls and wonder about the future and the relationship we'll have. I wonder how being the oldest and the "only" for five years will affect Catherine as she grows up, being the defacto big girl onto whom much of the sibling-esque responsibility gets dumped (and that by a mom who has no experience with siblings!). I wonder how being the youngest will color Isabella's perspective, and, yes, although I don't have any doubts as to the solid steel strength of the bond between the two of us, I still wonder how the knowledge that she has another mother, an unknown birth mother, may affect her in the future. And how we'll address that together.
And I wonder about my daughters' relationship to me as they grow older, knowing that it will be colored in some part by the fact that they have each other, whereas I had no brothers or sisters.
I'm feeling melancholy tonight, thinking about ties and connections and relationships and love. Every mother-daughter relationship is different, and I cherish the one I have with my mom. And though I didn't model any of Kate and Allie after my mother and me, I still believe that some of the essence of that shines through. At least, I hope it does, because that is one of the most important elements of those books to me. The family overall, and in particular, the relationship between those two strong women, one of whom is just coming in to her own.
I'm not in the habit of dedicating blog entries (half the time I don't even do dedications in my books!) but this one is dedicated to my mom. I love you, and get well soon.

Tales of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom
Now Available!
With her first husband possessed by a demon and her current husband spending way too much time at home, Demon Hunter Kate Connor is having one hell of a month...
In between demon patrols and teaching self-defense classes to the local moms, Kate has to deal with a teenage daughter who's gung-ho on being a demon slayer in training and a toddler son entering a tantrum phase that rivals anything from the pits of Hell.
And to make matters worse, ever since her husband Stuart learned about his wife's secret life, he's been practically smothering her with attention. That wouldn't be so bad, except that now Stuart's fired up to learn everything he can about demons, and that kind of research can get a guy former desk-jockey killed.
That's a lot for one suburban mom to juggle, but on top of it all, Kate has to find a way to release the demon possessing her first husband Eric without destroying the man inside. Because if the demon within Eric gets free, it just might be more than one seriously stressed suburban mom can handle...

Wounded Warrior Carries Memories of BattleSgt. Major Michael VanEngen injured in Taliban attackANCHORAGE - On June 1, 2012, a suicide bomber drove 1,500 pounds of explosives near the gate of Forward Operating Base Salerno in Eastern Afghanistan. Afterwards the Taliban released video of the attack. One shot shows a man driving a truck. A bouquet of flowers sits on the window as he talks to the camera. Then the vantage shifts to a wide shot where the truck is spotted moving along the horizon. Suddenly, a mushroom cloud explodes and a man near the camera shouts "Allah Akbar!" over and over. At this time Sgt. Major Michael VanEngen was deployed with the 4th Brigade Combat Team 25th Infantry Division. He said it took a minute to get his bearings. "It was raining rocks and rubble on us." The dining hall was flattened and the 27-year Army veteran rushed to help. "By the time I got my equipment on and went over to the front where it was happening... it was about 10 minutes and they were still fighting over there. I knew it wasn't good," he said. When he got closer to the fighting, he saw a soldier lying on the ground. He said that's when his training kicked in. "My main concern for the past decade or so has always been taking care of the soldiers... that's all I worry about." His fellow soldiers dragged him to safety, then took him to the hospital. His injuries were too severe for him to remain in Afghanistan. For the first time in his nearly three-decade career, over five deployments, Sgt. Major Michael VanEngen was leaving early. Telling his wife he was coming home was one of the hardest things, "I've never done that before, you know? I'd been hurt and I was kind of disappointed in myself for being hurt. It was a lump in my throat when I said it." Once back in the U.S., VanEngen spent months off his feet. But now, with physical therapy twice a week, he's working on getting full mobility back, despite the pain. His physical therapist, Rachel Odom say's he has the grit to get through it: "I would say [he] courageously takes the torture I have to give." VanEngen is now thousands of miles away from the battlefield, but reminders of the war are with him with every step. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Feb 2 at 10:01 PM I'm proud of you and all of our soldiers! Hold your head high your a hero in my eyes!

This page considers the integration of java.util collections interfaces into core jython objects in going from Jython 2.1 to 2.2:
Jython 2.1 support for Java Collections integration is a one-way street. It's possible to make Collections object act as a PyObject but it's not possible to make a PyObject act as a Collection.
The integration of Collections into Jython happens through the CollectionProxy and CollectionProxy2 classes. They wrap the Collection instance with the appropriate proxy and delegate Jython calls to the Collection instance.
Going the other way fails. Take for example:
>>> from java.util import ArrayList >>> a = ArrayList([1,2,3]) Traceback (innermost last): File "<console>", line 1, in ? TypeError: java.util.ArrayList(): 1st arg can't be coerced to java.util.Collection or int
In this example the ArrayList constructor is expecting a java.util.Collection instance but since the PyList does not implement this interface the TypeError is thrown. Since the Collection framework is fundamental to Java since 1.2 the JythonDevelopmentTeam will address this issue. The implementation is currently being written by ClarkUpdike.
There are two different approaches:
- Subclass the Abstract classes available in java.util for the Collection framework.
Continuing subclassing PyObject with the additional work of implementing the appropriate interface.
Approach 2 offers the best integration options. Jython is primarily an implementation of Python so implementing the data structures as they are in Python takes priority over the Java implementations. In addition, the keyword and index arguments for method calls are already done. The implementation of the interfaces will need only delegate to the appropriate PyObject instance's method for the same functionality.

ClarkUpdike Mar 2 2005 PM
Reflecting further on PyArray, we may want to consider not having it implement List. When I read the docs on the jarray and array modules at the respective jython and python websites, I find the following:
- jython's jarray moduleis primarily for interaction with java
- as the jython object type to hold java arrays returned by java methods
- for java methods that require java arrays as parameters
- python's array module is primarly for performance/efficiency
Performance might not have been a concern at all for jarray. But I know I have used jarray on occasion for that very reason. In any event, I'll presume the two reasons for their existence are, in descending priority:
- java array integration
- performance
I've been assuming that since PyArray is a sequence, it should also implement List. But the reasons not do this are:
The use case for treating arrays as Lists seems weak. Java uses the Array.asList(Object[] a) method to get a List from an array, and that is all I think is really required from a collection interoperability standpoint. Python offers the tolist() method, and PyArray should offer the same thing. Remember, list will implement List, so your only 9 keystrokes away
Python arrays are list-like: append, extend, slice, etc. I think we can make PyArray do the same tricks.
You can't make PyArray implement List and still retain the performance benefits, especially for primitives. You would have to choose from one of the following:
Element data stays as-is in PyArray (including primitive arrays, but all access through collection methods converts to and from the wrapper classes on-the-fly. This would retain the performance in jython, but would be lousy in java. If you iterated over the same list 10 times you'd create 10x the wrapper objects (they are not stored, only the primitive values). In some cases, it would really thrash the jvm. Any kind of caching scheme would greatly increase the memory needed.
Element data is a java array, but primitive types are stored in object arrays (Integer[], not int[]). This would allow the simplest integration with List, but performance would suffer.
Element data is a List. Wouldn't make any sense (but I'm listing it for completeness), PyArray would just exist to provide a java array when needed.
Anyway, that's why I think PyArray should not implement list, but should just grow the python 2.2 array behavior, and provide an easy bridge to a List, via tolist(). As always, maybe I'm missing something obvious...
Here's what this design would look like:
PySequence <--+-- PSequenceList <---- (PyList, PyTuple) | +-- (PyArray, PyString, PyXRange)
ClarkUpdike Mar 2 2005 AM
This is in response to <waiting for post to show up on sourceforge>. It is a work in progress--but feel free to comment. I've concentrated on the impact of implementing the List interface:
- `List`
- `list`
python list type (nice to be able to say 'type', eh?)
I've been thinking on how to accomplish the "Approach 2" design, which is basically a delegation model, in the sense that the subject classes will continue to subclass PyObject. PySequence does not have an "element data" field--which leaves the concrete classes to handle that. Here are some observations on the current 2.1 design:
Jython Class |
Extends |
current element data field |
Notes |
PySequence |
PyObject |
PyArray |
PySequence |
Object data; |
data is set to primitive array or array of arbitrary class |
PyList |
PySequence |
protected PyObject[] list; |
PyString |
PySequence |
private String string; |
jython depends heavily on interning of String |
PyTuple |
PySequence |
*public PyObject[] list; |
list field is referenced directly by 8 classes in 14 methods |
PyXRange |
PySequence |
int attributes start, stop, step, (useless without PySequence.__iter__() |
PySet |
PyObject |
protected HashSet _set; |
based on BrianZimmer's SetsModule |
PyDictionary |
PyObject |
protected Hashtable table; |
My current thinking is that we should add a new branch to PySequence--let's call it PySequenceList. PySequence would remain as is, and PySequenceList would subclass PySequence and implement the java.util.List interface. PyString and PyXRange would subclass PySequence and PyArray, PyList, PyTuple would subclass PySequenceList. This seems appropriate because, although PyXRange and PyString technically fall under the description of List, the practicality of them as a List is nil. Am I missing something obvious here? Would anyone ever use PyXRange in java? And PyString is auto-converted to a java.lang.String.
PySequence <--+-- PySequenceList <---- (PyArray, PyList, PyTuple) | +-- (PyString, PyXRange)
Not sure about PyList and PyTuple sharing an additional base class with a predefined element data field. Could do it that way, or could use delegation on a specialized element data class, or could leave it as-is (with copied code for certain methods--although the amount of copied code will increase.
One key decision is about the element data field in PyList and PyArray. Currently, it's PyObject[]. This is efficient because it eliminates casting, but keeping it makes List implementation difficult (take a look at the source for java.util.AbstractList), and all the System.arraycopy makes append slow. If we were to switch it to an ArrayList, it would buy us easier collection integration, but will cost performance (who knows how much). There's also a "middle-of-the-road" approach, which is to use a specialized class to wrap a PyObject array and provide List like behavior (I have some experience with doing this). This approach might also be used with PyArray.
PyArray requires some important decisions also. The collections methods are all Object based. So anything coming or going throught these interfaces will require wrapping/boxing. If PyArray were to use an ArrayList and fully box everything from both java and jython, their performance (their main reason for existing?) would take a major hit. My thinking is this is not a viable option. This means there could be some difficult code to write to implement List, unless we use the specialized class mentioned above (but typed to the particular primitive array types).
Other general improvements:
- eliminate deprecated methods?
Replace signatures to collection implementations (Vector, HashSet, HashTable) with intefaces (List, Set, Map)
Clean up of PyXRange copies field and deprecate repeat(), getSlice()
ClarkUpdike Feb 12 2005
java.util.Collections: Is there a need to provide a jython version of this class (especially the synchronized and unmodifiable wrapper methods)? If it is not implemented and the java.util.Collections wrappers are used on new collection objects, the returned objects will only proxy for the java.util interface and will be broken in jython. There is also a PyImmutableSet in BrianZimmer's SetsModule, but I don't think there is an immutable dictionary equivalent.
BrianZimmer Feb 13 2005
I'm inclinded to say no. Consider this code:
List a = new ArrayList(); a.add(1); a.add(2); List b = Collection.unmodifiableList(a); try { b.add(3); } catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } a.add(3);
Without making a copy of the collection it is always possible to mutate the delegate. The Collections methods only wrap and delegate; they do not instruct the source to be immutable. In Python, this is handled through the use of two different classes: list and tuple. Consider this code:a = [1,2,3,4] b = tuple(a) a.append(5) print a, b
Since the tuple makes a copy of the list and does not delegate, the immutability is preserved. If an immutable Collection is really desired, copy it and make it immutable (this is really the true way in Java as well). This relieves Jython collections from concerning themselves with immutability because they will gladly offer up their contents through the standard Collection interface for the creation of a new, all Java Collection which can be used as the source.In the case of PyImmutableSet, it's part of the Python module, so it must be implemented. The relationship for mutable and immutable collections in Jython:
Synchronization should follow the same approach.Mutable

Nice tip. I might try this with a couple old gloves I have lying around later. Will report back.
Is the water cold, warm, or hot? Thanks!
808HACKERIs the water cold, warm, or hot? Thanks!
This is all new to me. I have typically just thrown the used gloves in my bag and used them when it rains. I will blow through a few of these during the round.
I have always went out and purchased new gloves, but will have to give this a shot. I think I must have about 20 PTL's sitting in a plastic bag in my garage.
Thanks for the tip.
Well, the warmer water works well. I took a couple of gloves from last summer that were very crusty from sweat/salt and rinsed one in cold water, the other in very warm water. The warm water seems to have removed more salt, both are playable now.
Thanks for the DIY glove cleaning tutorial. I tried it yesterday glove looks great.
Thanks for the tip! Will this help prevent/slow down wear or only make it look cleaner?

Special to the Daily News
Stand in the Gap's Coalition met Sunday at the new headquarters building, with several representatives on hand to understand the devastation methamphetamine (meth) is playing in the lives of families all over the tri-state area.
Representatives from 10 Tennessee counties, Bell County, Ky., and Lee County, Va., met with Tennessee state Rep. David Hawk, Kentucky state Rep. Rick Nelson and Tenn. Eighth Judicial District Attorney Lori Phillips-Jones voicing horror stories of the epidemic of drug use in the area and the rising cost to taxpayers as a result.
The new headquarters is located at 502 Pennlyn Ave. in an old church in the town of Cumberland Gap.
The primary focus during the meeting was that meth is virtually impossible to make without a key ingredient in Sudafed, pseudoephedrine. This allergy medication can be changed to a gel-type capsule which makes it very difficult to convert to meth production, but its manufacturer does not want to change it thus far.
A recent attempt in January to submit a bill in congress requiring any form of pseudoephedrines capable of being used in meth production must be obtained through prescription, was met with sharp resistance from drug manufacturers.
Hawk estimated between one and two million dollars was spent by drug companies on advertising alone.
According to the lawmakers, the proposed bill would require products to be available by prescription only if they are not in a form to prohibit meth manufacturing.
Phillips-Jones produced statistics about the epidemic of drug abuse in Tennessee and its cost. She directed those attending to a new generation of allergy medication called Nexafed. On their website, www.nexafed.com, they make a bold claim: "Are you treating a cold or a criminal?".
"The medication is reported to be as effective as Sudafed without supporting those that will make and sell methamphetamine, one of the most dangerous drugs in the nation's history," she said.
Drug manufacturers who opposed the bill directed people's attention to a law already on the books stating pharmacies can only sell a limited number of packs per individual, but Hawks reported, "It simply doesn't work. If it did, meth use would have gone down and Tennessee wouldn't be number two in meth manufacturing in the nation."
The coalition's goal is to reduce and eventually totally eradicate drug and alcohol abuse in the area.
Dan Spurlock, one of Stand in the Gap's founders explained, "A primary purpose of the Stand in the Gap Coalition is to bring support to efforts in Tennessee to educate it's citizens, fight illegal drugs and rescue those hopelessly addicted. Dr. Edwin Robertson from Harrogate stepped up as the leader for Stand in the Gap in 2010 and began by leading prayer efforts in Cumberland Gap which drew 8,000 people and a coalition effort in November of 2012 which brought over 20,000 combined in prayer efforts targeting seven cities with the support of 10 counties last November."
"This movement is growing. We have to do something! We're losing our children and grandchildren to drugs," said Robertson, adding that very few of the thousands now involved with Stand in the Gap are not affected by drug abuse, either directly or indirectly.
Hawk, who represents the Fifth District in Greeneville, shed light on how he has worked to fight drugs during the last four years he has served in Nashville.
"To determine the costs to taxpayers, we have to look at all the agencies required to fund efforts that address abuse," he said. "Those include extra law enforcement and a prison cost to the state of $600 million, up $300 million in four years."
It is estimated 90 percent of current crime being addressed in Tennessee is due to drugs, he added.
"Then there is added cost in agencies like Department of Children Services and prenatal trauma centers for children born in addiction, and added costs in our schools to serve these children as they grow older," Hawk said.
One example was given by Phillips-Jones about a case in Tennessee when a meth lab exploded, burning a man involved which resulted in costing the state over $1 million in burn centers and within six days of being released the man was back in business. The example was not given to condemn the user, Phillips-Jones said, but she wanted attendees to know how powerful the addiction is that drives these victims.
While meth is only one culprit, the Stand in the Gap coalition is pledging to address issues as they are presented as well as working to develop programs to rescue victims. Recovery programs are cropping up across the 10-county area, some faith-based while others are traditional programs. In-house treatment centers are on the way, organizers say. Drug Courts are being formed and more drug coalitions are being created, said Robertson.
More information about Stand in the Gap is available on its Facebook page, visiting the website www.standntgaptn.org or by calling 423-300-1302. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Question: What type of plants could I use as a screen to protect my property from the wind and dust from the adjacent property?
Answer: North Carolina has a variety of adapted plants that could be used to screen off your property. When selecting plants, be sure to consider its maximum size, preferred growing conditions and the conditions of your site.
Years ago people planted Red Tips as a screen; however, they began declining due to being very disease prone. Next, people began replacing Red Tips with Leyland Cypress, which is having its own battle of problems with bagworms, mites, etc. Fall is the perfect time to plant evergreens. When choosing a variety to plant as a screen, consider its mature width and height, growing rate, and preferred growing conditions in order to select the best plants suited for your needs and site conditions.
If you are looking for a quick cover, you may want to select fast growing plants. One of the fastest growing evergreens for screening currently available is 'Green Giant' Thuja. This is a variety of arborvitae that will eventually reach 40'-50' or more in height, and grows 15'-20' wide. It is a great plant for large landscapes where a tall screen is needed, but may be too large for smaller lots. It grows best in moist, but well-drained soil and full sun. 'Chindo' Viburnum is another fast grower, reaching 15'-20' in height and 8'-10' in width within several years. This evergreen viburnum has large, shiny, dark green leaves and occasionally produces clusters of red berries in the fall. 'Chindo' Viburnum prefers to grow in moist, well-drained soils, but has good drought tolerance once established.
For fast screening in poor sandy soils, consider Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) or Thorny Eleagnus (Eleagnus pungens). Wax Myrtle is a native evergreen with olive green foliage, growing to 8'-10' in height and width within a few years of planting. One drawback of this shrub is its tendency to break apart during hurricanes, but it rapidly recovers even when large limbs break out. Thorny Eleagnus is an extremely vigorous shrub with a rather wild growth habit that will easily reach 10'-15' in height and width. Thorny Eleagnus is a good variety for hedges on coastal properties because of its tolerance of salt spray and dry, sandy soils.
If you are working with a narrow space, there are some suitable upright evergreen varieties because they take up little horizontal space. Two of the narrowest evergreens available are 'Spartan' Juniper and 'Emerald' Arborvitae, both of which grow to 15' tall and only 3'-4' wide. The main difference in these two plants is the conditions in which they prefer to grow. 'Spartan' Juniper is great for sandy sites because it is very drought tolerant, whereas 'Emerald' Arborvitae prefers moist soils. Both grow best in full sun.
Several varieties of hollies are available that work well for hedges and screening due to there upright to pyramidal growth habits. The varieties 'Nellie Stevens', 'Oakleaf', 'Festive', 'Robin', 'Needlepoint', and 'Emily Bruner' all produce dense, dark green foliage year round and red berries in fall that persist through winter. Each of these varieties grow at a moderate rate to 15' to 20' tall and 8' to 10' wide, growing best in sun or part shade and well-drained soil, and are drought tolerant once established. Another relatively narrow evergreen with glossy dark green leaves that is great for hedges is Cleyera (Ternstroemia gymnanthera). This tough, adaptable shrub thrives in sun or shade, is drought tolerant, and will grow 10'-15' tall and 6'-8' wide.

How I Met Your Mother is down .4 for some reason - pre-emptions perhaps, but 2 Broke Girls wasn't hurt.
Voice is down to 4.5 in the prelim #s, but usually these singing shows go down when live rounds start. Last season's Super Bowl-inflated show was only at 4.1 for the first live performance show, then 3.2 for the first live elimination show. We'll see how this season holds up. Currently NBC stands as the #1 network for the first time since Friends ended...but the first quarter of 2013 is gonna be rocky, I suspect with weeks when they come in as the #4 network.
