Ordinary Grace
"That was it. That was all of it. A grace so ordinary there was no reason at all to remember it. Yet I have never across the forty years since it was spoken forgotten a single word."
New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson's Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.
Frank begins the season preoccupied with the concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his family—which includes his Methodist minister father; his passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and wise-beyond-his-years kid brother—he finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years.
Told from Frank's perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God.

To maintain complete transparency, Mr. Krueger and I are long-time friends, we frequently travel together as the Minnesota Crime Wave, and I received a pre-release copy of this book at no cost to me. "Ordinary Grace" is a standalone novel, a project the author has long desired to write. The book is significantly different from his multiple-award-winning Cork O'Connor series. Yet there are links to the thoughtful, carefully structured, series of crime novels. In one sense, for those so inclined, a case can be made that here, Krueger addresses the ultimate mystery. "Ordinary Grace" benefits from everything the author has learned over the years writing the O'Connor novels. It is directly and powerfully written, wasting no words, yet always moving the story ahead at appropriate pace, depending on the actions of the characters and the plot. "Ordinary Grace" is a novel that will affect readers in unusual, interesting and, quite possibly, surprising ways. Set in a small community in southern Minnesota in 1961, this is how the story begins: "All the dying that summer began with the death of a child, a boy with golden hair and thick glasses, killed on the railroad tracks outside New Bremen, Minnesota." The narrator is an adult white male, son of the Methodist minister in town. Frank is recalling the momentous events of that bygone summer when he was but thirteen years old, a teen-ager on the cusp of young maturity. The death of that child sets in motion events and revelations of suppressed attitudes that alter the lives and futures of many people in the town. Some of the people affected are important and wealthy, others, as plain and ordinary as one could imagine. Yet everyone in the novel is required to come to terms to greater or lesser degree, with who they are and how they must relate to family, friends, members of their faith, and how they function in the wider yet limited community. What Frank learns that summer, and equally importantly, how he sees and interprets the evil and the grace of that time, will affect him for his entire life. It's an important lesson. Krueger's writing, as always, is smooth and strong and the logic of the plot is easy to follow. While the story has many layers, there are no convoluted or tricky passages readers will have to struggle to interpret. That's part of the book's charm and its strength. The novel explores faith, mysticism, and rationality in thoughtful, even-handed and open ways that lend itself to recollection and continuing reflection, regardless of readers' experiences in those areas of life. The characters, and there are many, are carefully and consistently well-drawn. This is a novel of discovery and exploration, for the author and for readers. A well-done reading experience for anyone.
As much a literary novel as it is a mystery... William Ken Krueger's new deeply human grief-ridden novel "Ordinary Grace" is as much a literary novel as it is a mystery. Told from the point-of-view of a 13-year-old boy, Frank, an about-to-be juvenile delinquent preacher's son (according to the town), and featuring a brother who stutters, a sister with a harelip who sneaks out at night, a preacher father, a mother who hates his father's calling as a minister, a drunk friend, less-than-stellar police, a renegade Indian, a town full of characters that would make any Southern writer happy (though this takes place in New Bremen, Minnesota), and numerous dead bodies. The mystery, delightfully, is solved by Frank, the 13-year-old boy. With his father being a preacher and his father's friend being an undertaker, death is an occupational natural to Frank's household, though in this story one unnatural death seems to follow another. This is a coming of age story primarily with the backdrop of murders, which become increasingly more personal as the story progresses. Nothing makes one grow up more than death. "There's something, it seems to me, that depends more on God and circumstances than our own efforts." Krueger does an enviable and plausible job of letting Frank be the one who solves the crimes without making law enforcement in the story appear incompetent. Kids love to spy and they can fit into small places. Krueger plays it well. The novel reads like an autobiography, not a novel, which is a compliment to Krueger. The voice is pure; the characters are real. Thematically, it is a story of weakness, timidity, and how not taking a stand not only destroys sunny afternoons and Sunday mornings, but also – and eventually – lives. It is about prejudice, judgment, dark secrets, and how history leaves us, not with facts, but with the biased interpretations and sneers of survivors. History, like faith, both in time, become personal and jaded. It is a sad lesson for children: The dead are only one breath away from us. Though the children make a vow with each other that they will never die, as Frank realizes, when we breathe that last breath, we cross the near veil, which was always closer than we thought. This is not a formulaic police procedural. This is a story to remind us that we are human and that the important thing is not the big stuff. The story will stick with you long after you put it down. - Clay Stafford, author, filmmaker, and founder of Killer Nashville
In a departure from his Cork O'Connor series, Krueger gives the reader so much to think about. The characters are complex and fascinating and the plot will keep you guessing until the end. But this novel has a message that will stay with you long after you finish it. The best book I have read in a very long time
One of the best books I have ever read. Check out the editorial reviews--they say it so much more eloquently than I can. I can only say I'm crying as I write this, and even though I know it is only fiction, I feel as if those characters and their lives are very real. The fact that a writer can do that is amazing to me. This book deserves to be read.
I'm in two book club, one for over fifteen years. We have read a multitude of books, but this is my all-time favorite. My husband reads the author's Cork O'Conner books and loves them. I also enjoy them, so when I saw this stand-alone title, I was intrigued. I am on my second reading and am enjoying it as much as I did the first time. For me, this is a must read for all my friends. It is a book about a time long since gone, but familiar to all of us in our senior years. The characters are real, and I cared about each and every one of them. And then there is the story. I love a good story and this was one of the best I have read in a long time. I think this is a book I may read over and over. I don't have many like that. I truly loved this book.
In his novel Ordinary Grace, William Krueger has crafted the moving story of the tumultuous summer, in which a small town seems to experience more than its share of deaths. In a way, it's a coming-of-age story, but it's not just about young Frank. Krueger does a beautiful job of character development; I felt like I knew the residents of this town. I found myself feeling for them - sharing in their joy, sorrow and anger. I also appreciated that it was not nearly as predictable as some other books that I have recently read. My only quibble with the book would be the overly simplistic way it deals with war. I think anyone would agree that war is a terrible thing, should be a last resort - and that it's always sad when someone has to kill another human being. However, I think Krueger should have acknowledged that sometimes, it IS necessary, when there just isn't any way to bring justice. An obvious example would be related to the very war whose effect he describes - World War II. Adolph Hitler couldn't be reasoned with; the only way to stop him was militarily. If you don't believe that war is sometimes necessary, talk to the children or grandchildren of the Jewish victims of the holocaust, who were enslaved and then often burned alive, with even their remains treated as simply material for lamps etc. With that disclaimer, I would recommend this book.
Ordinary Grace is far from ordinary...5 stars for sure.
Beautiful story told by an older man about his youth. Heart warming, emotional and intriguing. Murder, love, pain, all are there. Would like to read more of his books.
I have read all of WKK's books and love them . The characters are people u can identify with. They are everyday people in extrodinary situations. Theyhave flaws and they have integrity like eachof us. So as u read a WWK book u can look at your life and see u aren't without adventure and excitement. Because if WWK wrote about your life I am sure it would be a great read.
The book hooked me in from the beginning and I could not stop reading. Something about the tone of the story reminded me of To Kill a Mockingbird . Both are stories of youngsters facing real life adult situations. I definitely plan to recommend this to my book club.
William Kent Krueger is the type of writer that keeps the reader engaged at all times in a tragic story of family, community and church relationships. His writing style keeps you on the edge of your seat, unable to put it down. I read it in two days. The characters are varied, believable and relatable. A great read that leaves one feeling satisfied, and wanting the next novel.
Truly great! Real people in real circumstances with real problems I could relate to. I always keep a list of the books I read and rate them - this book got an Excellent rating. Do yourself a favor and read this book.
Excellent book, warm, sensitive, wonderful ending.
The moving story of a Minnesota family during the summer of 1961. I couldn't stop reading. Very powerful and consuming. Mr. Krueger had outdone himself with this wonderful story. I was in tears at the end. A must read.
I totally enjoyed this book, it kept me intrigued and i couldn't put it down until I finished it
A very good book.
I loved this book. Takes you back to a time where adults were respected by kids and people treated each other kindly.
Told from a young boy's perspective while growing up in a small town, this is a remarkable insight into families, death, and adult relationships. The different and unique ways that this boy finds out about happenings and his concept of these revelations show an ability to understand the psyche of a child. The child's relationship with his younger brother starts out ordinary, but because of the extraordinary circumstances they come to be involved with, that relationship also takes on a new meaning. The family is riddled with birth defects with adds issues in over coming them which also adds issues to the story. While reading this book, I could pull some of these characters out of my past. There is a lesson to be learned as we walk or stride through life and in the end ordinary grace saves the day.
Very compelling read. A page turner full of great mystery and heartbreak. Highly recommend!
I've read all of Kent's books and totally enjoyed them. He has a knack for making you feel you are part of "the family." Ordinary Grace does that. It is an intimate family story/mystery and you are somehow a part of it, feeling the love, the pain and the loss.
I am half way through this book, and I love it. Krueger demonstrates his ability to write more than excellent mysteries.
I'm a great fan of William Kent Krueger, and he did not disappoint me with "Ordinary Grace".
This is a wonderful book. It's moving and thoughtful and deep. It has sadness and love and humanity and wonder. The characters are beautifully developed. There are great moments of faith and great questions about faith. There is mystery and intrigue. There is truth about life. This is really a wonderful book.
An Excellent Story! Frank, the main character, now 40 years old, reflects back to the summer of 1961 when he was thirteen-years-old. Set in a small Minnesota town where Frank's father is a Methodist minister, the story begins with the death of a young boy on the railroad tracks and soon after a homeless man is found dead in that same vicinity and then Frank's sister is missing. That summer a special bond develops between Frank and his younger brother, Jake. Jake stutters and is self-conscious and yet at times, he does not stutter at all. There is something special about Jake, in my opinion, a goodness that nothing can erase. I saw in Nathan Drum ,Frank and Jake's father, that same sort of goodness. In fact he brought to mind Atticus Finch, the father in To Kill a Mockingbird. Ruth Drum, the boy's mother is a gifted musician, a woman who is not wholly a believer, a woman who smokes and doesn't care who sees her, a woman unsuited it would seem for a minister's wife. One reviewer said "The book is filled with the genuine, often flawed characters that inhabit most small towns." I smiled at the use of "small towns" for those characters live in every town and hamlet and city in the world, endless fodder for the storyteller. And all of us, whatever our flaws, are on a journey through life, a life often rocked by events so devastating we think we can not go on and yet we do, often in those worst of times we are touched by an ordinary grace that lifts us up so we can go on and even be happy again. I loved, loved, loved this story.

Maybe its weird but I've always been really proud of how loud I can snap. Like, I wasn't a kid with many talents. Mostly I was just known for making everyone really uncomfortable by asking if they had seen any ghosts or knew of any secret passages in the school. But one thing I was always better at than everyone in my class was snapping really loud. It really impressed everyone in the third grade. Surprisingly, it impresses adults less. I'm still proud of it though, other adults are probably just jealous.
Here Is A Thought On A Friday
On Monday a rabbit stopped right in front of me on the sidewalk. It wasn't skittish or afraid and it definitely didn't run away. Instead, it pooped. It stopped right in front of me and pooped.
That seems like a sign to me. Of what, I'm not sure. I asked Captain Thoughtful what he thought the universe was trying to tell me and he said "I think all it means is that when you gotta go, you gotta go."
Wise words from a handsome man.
Here Is A Thought On A Thursday
Everyone measures distance by Whataburgers right? Like, "Only 6 hours from Lincoln to Whataburger". That way, you don't have to choose between using the metric system and English system. Everyone wins and also french fries!
If You Need A Laugh
Just remember that my Aunt J calls the TV show "American Ninja Warrior", "American Ninja Turtle". And she doesn't do it as a joke, she just thinks that it what it's called.
That had me laughing so hard I got the hiccups. And also, as long as people say funny things like that, and you can laugh so hard you get the hiccups, probably everything will be OK.
Humor Blank
First of all, I'm so sorry I have been absent for so long. My only excuse is that I have been at a complete humor blank lately. Also, I was at a conference last week so that kept me busy.
I did write one thing that I thought was funny last week but I wasted it on Facebook. Sorry again. If you're interested, it was this: Some people shyly mingle the first day of a conference. I make a beeline for the bar with a shoe covered in my blood.
I'll try to be funny again ASAP.
Here Is A Question On A Friday
In a battle between a t-rex and a unicorn, who wins?
Captain Thoughtful had this response: "Definitely a unicorn because they are mythical. And if they aren't really mythical than they are even more dangerous because how have they stayed hidden for so long?"
Also, major props to Captain Thoughtful for not even hesitating in his response when I randomly asked him this over breakfast. That man just gets me.
Here Is A Thought On A Friday
Despite my love for Marvel, I didn't go see Captain America: Civil War because I just can't bear to watch friends fight.

The acute sense of one-up manship and competition between KCR and Chandrababu Naidu is worrying the officials of both Governments.
Today after KCR announced that Telangana Muslim employees would be paid their salaries on July 25th, ahead for sake of Ramazan, the AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has also announced that salaries for Muslim employees would be paid on July 26th.
Political analysts say that no doubt the move is to appease the minorities and the Muslim vote bank with GHMC elections slated in few days .After KCR announced one hour exemption to Muslim employees for Ramzan players every day,AP CM also followed suit.

Time spent in childcare centres linked with poor behaviour
A major national study has found that the length of time a child spends at a childcare centre in the first three years of life is associated with a particular set of problem behaviours by ages 4-5 years.
The study, conducted by researchers in the University of Adelaide's School of Population Health, found that children who spend longer in centre-based childcare are more likely to be hyperactive, disruptive and aggressive at school age.
However, the study also found that these children were less likely to be withdrawn, anxious or depressed.
The research was based on data of more than 3200 children from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children and involved surveys of parents and teachers. The project looked at children's development following time spent at different types of childcare.
"By the age of three, 75% of children in this study had spent regular time in the care of someone other than the parent," says PhD student Angela Gialamas, from the University's Better Start Child Health and Development Research Group.
"One of our key findings was that time spent at a formal childcare centre was directly associated with small but noticeable increases in what we call 'externalising' problem behaviours, compared to children who did not attend any type of childcare in the first
three years of life. This includes hyperactivity – being restless, easily distracted, constantly fidgeting – and disruptive and aggressive behaviours, such as losing their temper and fighting with other children.
"These problems were not directly linked with other forms of childcare, such as family day care and care by nannies and grandparents," she says.
Ms Gialamas says the same group of children was less likely to show 'internalising' problem behaviours than children who didn't attend childcare. "Our study showed that children in centre-based care were less likely to be unhappy and clingy in new situations, according to parent and teacher reports," she says. "So there are both positive and negative effects seen among this group of children."
Ms Gialamas says this research adds to the growing understanding of how childcare affects the behaviour and development of Australian children. "Much of the childcare research is coming from the US or the UK, but it's important to see what is happening in the Australian context. We need to better understand how childcare is contributing to children's learning, development and transition to school."
The results of this research have been published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.
This work has been supported by a Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide postgraduate award, a Healthy Development Adelaide and Channel 7 Children's Research Foundation supplementary scholarship award and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

Economic Geology
- © 2016 Society of Economic Geologists.
The Guelb Moghrein Cu-Au deposit occurs within metacarbonate bodies derived from sedimentary carbonate beds of probable late Archean age. The metacarbonate lenses are enclosed within mafic meta-igneous rocks that display a coarse-grained, amphibolite-facies (hornblende-albite) assemblage that is mineralogically anomalous relative to the greenschist-facies metamorphic rocks present regionally within the district and may represent a zone of synmetamorphic hydrothermal metasomatism. Crosscutting relationships and textural evidence for progressive replacement of different mineral assemblages demonstrate that the deposit had a complex, multiphase alteration-mineralization history. Early sodic alteration at Guelb Moghrein resulted in the formation of albitized zones along moderately to shallowly dipping structures. Sodic alteration was followed by syndeformational ferroan potassic alteration that resulted in the growth of biotite and grunerite-cummingtonite in meta-igneous rocks and conversion of calcite-dolomite in metacarbonate bodies to ankerite- and siderite-rich assemblages. Progressive alteration resulted in breakdown of siderite to magnetite and graphite at approximately 400° to 450°C. Sulfide mineralization took place at ca. 2.5 Ga, concurrently with or shortly after ferroan potassic alteration and magnetite-graphite formation. An early assemblage of Co-, Ni-, and As-rich sulfide minerals was followed by precipitation of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Sulfide mineralization was focused within brittle deformation zones along the margins of the metacarbonate bodies, which represent high-permeability zones adjacent to more ductile structures. The nucleation of sulfides on graphite during siderite breakdown suggests redox reactions may have largely controlled sulfide precipitation. A late magnesian alteration event at ca. 1.74 Ga resulted in the formation of chlorite-rich shear zones and precipitation and/or recrystallization of sulfides. The Guelb Moghrein deposit is a member of the iron oxide Cu-Au class of deposits but is unusual in being hosted in carbonate strata.

Caitlyn Jenner lies awake worrying about being a good role model.
The 65-year-old former Olympian - who was known as Bruce Jenner before her transition - feels a huge "responsibility" to the transgender community and is concerned about saying the wrong thing or not "projecting the right image".
In the opening scene of her new reality show 'I Am Cait', she said: "It's 4.32am in the morning. And I can't sleep. In the monitor, I look like c**p but anyway.
"I feel bad that people, especially young people, are going through this difficult time in their life. We don't want people dying over this, we don't want people murdered over this stuff. What a responsibility I have towards this community.
"Am I going to do everything right? Am I going to say the right things? Am I going to project the right image? My mind is just spinning with thoughts. I just hope I get it right."
Elsewhere in the show, the reality star worries her transition will "tear apart" her family, which includes her six kids, Burt, Brody, Brandon, Casey, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and stepchildren Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian.
She worried: "They keep saying to me openly that everything is great. 'We want you to live you life.' And then they never show up. So, you know, something else is going on in in their head...
"There are a lot of families that are just...torn apart by it. I don't want to tear my family apart."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the search for under $5 stocks that hold promise, here's a stock that is starting to look appealing for a trade. It's not as if it has definitely turned the corner and to buy it now is quite speculative, but the reward-to-risk is reasonably and worth a shot -- or so I have decided that is so.The company is Hansen Medical ( HNSN), and they develop, manufacture, and market medical robotics designed for accurate positioning, manipulation, and stable control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. They have some tough competition and that is a big part of their painful looking charts, but there is a sign of a pulse finally.

Reviews for Macaroon Cherry Pie
Average Rating
"a HUGE hit! I used fresh sour cherries and then added 1 cup of 100% (organic) tart cherry juice for the juice required. Skipped the food coloring. Really easy to make and REALLY delicious!"
"This is my go to recipe for cherry pie and it's a family favorite! Each summer we drive over two hours to Traverse City, Michigan, to pick tart and sweet cherries. This year my children and I picked 70 lbs! I freeze bags where I have measured out enough for two pies one for our family and one to share."
"My favorite cherry pie!! Have even made the recipe with no crust and putting the filling in custard cups and doubling the topping and dividing between the cup. Delightful!!"
"I love the topping on this pie! It was fabulous."

Childcare around Oatlands, Carlingford?
Started by chocolate_cake , Jan 10 2013 05:02 PM

Posted 10 January 2013 - 05:02 PM
Hi all
We're moving back to Sydney (from Brisbane) in a few weeks and planning on living around Oatlands. We have a 2.5 year old little girl and another bub on the way.
Has anyone got any experience with Head Start Oatlands? It would be walking distance from where we plan to live so it would make life a little easier.
What about other daycare centres around that area? Any recs??
Posted 11 February 2013 - 05:38 PM
Sorry if this is too late but I live in the area and DS goes to Reggio Emilia in Parramatta who have been pretty good (just south of James Ruse Dr out of Oatlands). DS was on the waitlist for Head start from when I was 4 months pregnant and we didn't get a spot at the Jan intake when he was 1yo (he's 2 now and I still haven't gotten a call), spots are pretty tight.
If you want to know anything else about the area feel free to PM me
Posted 11 February 2013 - 05:50 PM
I've heard great things about Head Start, but we didn't get in either.

Citation Edit
United States v. Liebert, 519 F.2d 542 (3d Cir. 1975) (full-text), cert. denied, 423 U.S. 985 (1975).
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
The defendant was charged with failure to file income tax returns. The IRS computers had no record of the defendant's filing. The defendant requested that his computer expert have access to the IRS Service Center to analyze and test, particularly for reliability, the IRS data processing system. The request was granted. Then the defendant requested, for discovery purposes, records of the notices sent to persons stating that they had filed no returns or none had been received by the IRS.
The issue was whether pretrial discovery may be used to secure extrinsic evidence to impeach the reliability of a computer printout, a fundamental element of the prosecution's case. The court granted the defendant's request for a portion of the list of nonfilers. Because the government refused to comply with the court order, the court dismissed the case.
Appellate Court Proceedings Edit
On appeal, the dismissal was reversed. The appellate court initially noted that pretrial discovery in criminal cases usually is within the court's discretion.
The appellate court stated:
|The introduction of a computer printout is admissible in a criminal trial provided that the party offering the computer information lays a foundation sufficient to warrant a finding that such information is trustworthy and the opposing party is given the same opportunity to inquire into the accuracy of the computer and its input procedures as he has to inquire into the accuracy of written business records.[1]
However, the court held that supplying the list that the defendant requested would be unreasonable because of infringement of the right of privacy of those persons on the list.
The court noted that the availability of the lists could lead to the defendant contacting the persons on the list. The alternative suggestion that the IRS make available to the defendant all the documents regarding the procedures, operation, and electronic data processing system and the statistical analysis regarding the capability of the IRS to discover nonfilers and allow its expert witness to be deposed was held sufficient to provide the defendant with an opportunity to question the accuracy of the system.

A hlang was a Chultan oval-shaped, hide shield, most common in the city of Mezro.[1]
An oval hlang was two feet wide and between four and six feet tall. It consisted of animal hide—often dinosaur hide—fitted over a wooden frame. The shield was designed to be collapsible; the hide could easily be removed, rolled up, and used as a chair or pillow, while the frame could be folded up for easy storage.[1]
A hlang was approximately equivalent to a typical large wooden shield in terms of weight and defensive capabilities.[2]

Our EUROLIVE 1,260-Watt NEO Series active loudspeakers are destined to become the new standard in high-quality live sound reproduction. Packed with an incredible array of truly professional features, these brutes provide extreme levels of low-end punch, with the kind of high-fidelity definition and clarity typically reserved for much larger systems. These powerful new speaker systems outperform their predecessors-and weigh 30% less!
Class-D Works its Magic
What's the secret? These state-of-theart active loudspeakers are powered by custom-engineered Class-D amplifiers, which drive the low- and high-frequency transducers to their limits without even the slightest hint of distortion. Best of all, our Class-D amplifiers use switch-mode power supplies, which don't need massive transformers and heat sinks, so they provide a much better power-to-weight ratio than many competing active systems.
Put simply, these cool-running systems are up to 30% lighter than their predecessors, making them ultra-easy to transport and set up. Our no-compromise design means you get solid punchy bass, along with powerful mids and pristine highs that will keep the party going all night long.
Digital Signal Processing
From the instant the signal enters the NEO system, the digital processor takes over, ensuring the highest possible signal integrity-and we're talking CLEAN! Much more than just selective EQ enhancement, the 24-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) circuitry analyzes the signal and intelligently applies specific filters to actually improve the sound quality. It's like having a tiny sound guy inside each enclosure (with all the best gear), monitoring the input and output signals, dialing in the perfect EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to the crossover, compressor/limiter and more.
Instant PA System
With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and one or two dynamic microphones, you can set up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer features a LEVEL control for each input and a dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable LOW CUT filter to help eliminate annoying breath pops and mic handling noise. An additional filter, which we call CONTOUR, allows you to select SPEECH (for enhanced voice intelligibility), or MUSIC for the broader frequency range required for the high-fidelity reproduction of music. And if you need more coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient LINE OUT XLR connector.

It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
Which U.S. presidential candidates have the best records relative to home care and hospice? The answer: Governor John Kasich of Ohio, a Republican, and Democrat, former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator, Hillary Clinton.
Six months ago some 20 candidates from both parties were approached by the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) to share their views and their records on matters related to long-term care. One week before the voting begins in Iowa two frontrunners in home care have appeared.
Governor Kasich's Move to Expand Access to Home Care
Governor Kasich in his closing remarks in the most recent presidential debate listed as one of his most important achievements reversing the longstanding institutional bias which channeled aged, infirm and disabled Ohioans into nursing homes and other institutions instead of providing care which allowed them to remain independent in their own homes.
The Governor summarized this in his remarks saying: "You know, in our country, there are a lot of people who feel as though they just don't have the power. You know, they feel like if they don't have a lobbyist, if they're not wealthy, that somehow they don't get to play," Kasich said.
"You see, all of my career, I've fought about giving voice to the people that I grew up with and voice to the people that elected me… [For example] taking on the special interests in the nursing home industry in Ohio, so that mom and dad can have the ability to stay in their own home, rather than being forced into a nursing home."
A literature search validated the Governor's actions which were an extension of his record as a member of the U.S. Congress and Chairman of the House Budget Committee. They assert that his leadership and advocacy resulted to moving seniors in greater numbers into a variety of in-home care programs. For example, the Columbus Dispatch on November 19, 2015, wrote as follows:
"Ohio has made rapid progress in shifting its aging population from costly nursing homes to appropriate home-based care. This is a win for seniors and taxpayers: It stretches Medicaid dollars to serve more people in need, and it provides the elderly, along with the disabled and mentally ill, the dignity and comfort of remaining in their homes."
The Columbus Dispatch further wrote: "Ohio long put too much of its money for long-term care of the elderly into the nursing home-industry, which has a strong Statehouse lobby… In the 1970s, about 90 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries receiving long-term care were institutionalized, said Robert A. Applebaum, director of the Ohio long-term-care research project at Miami University. This percentage has dropped by more than half. This isn't just compassionate, it's fiscally vital as more Baby Boomers age and start needing elder care in one form or another."
Secretary Clinton Advances Home Care
When she was a member of the U.S. Senate, Hillary Clinton was a strong advocate for home care and hospice. She worked to increase access to in-home care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. She has a record of fighting the imposition of copayments which require seniors to pay a "sick tax" before they could access home care services in 1997 and 2003.
Secretary Clinton has included frequent references to home care during the presidential campaign. For example, on November 22, 2015, she introduced a proposal that would allow families to deduct up to $6,000 per year that they had spent to provide home care to their parents from Federal income taxes (see the November 26, 2015, edition of NAHC Report here). Under present law the care paid for by adult children on behalf of their parents cannot be deducted unless the parents qualify as deductions--meaning that the adult children provide substantially all of their income and support.
"We need to recognize the value of the work that caregivers give to all of us, both those who are paid and the great number who are unpaid," Clinton said. "The lost wages and the work that is sometimes given up are costing families—especially women—who make up the majority of both paid and unpaid caregivers."
Supporting Candidates from Both Parties
NAHC has the policy to support candidates from both parties who support home care and hospice. This article is presented with enthusiasm for the benefit of NAHC's members. The candidates should be applauded for their records but printing this story should not be taken as an endorsement. It may be that other candidates have a positive record they have not shared or that NAHC researchers missed something. Candidates are being asked one more time to share their views and their records. If it makes an endorsement, NAHC typically waits until the two parties made their selection of candidates for the general election.

Dead Rising
How do I beat the guys riding in the jeep with the machine gun in leisure park?
I try to look for survivors and have to go through leisure park to do it, but those guys in the jeep are always there and they shoot me down every time. I am in need of help.

Clarification Request::
Is there a way to get the guns from the hunt'n shack without having to fight the guy in there? Or do u have to go ther directly after u start the game? Because every time i try i end up dying because of him lol.

Head to Cletus' Gunshop (Huntin Shack) and stock up on shotguns and sniper rifles - Recommend one of each, also health in case of dying.
Find the convicts in Leisure Park at night, you can also hear them by theme music. Depending on distance, if they are far away and stuck against a tree or something, take out the Sniper Rifle and aim, first take out the gunner, he's the main threat on the jeep. After taking him out, kill either the driver or the passenger, either way, last convict will still have to drive the jeep.
Other way to kill them is allowing them to chase you, lure them into trees so they are stuck, after that, take out the shotgun and shoot the gunner on jeep, then shoot the driver and passenger till both are dead. then you can take over their jeep for the "Carjacker" Achievement.
Tip - For those with survivors including Sophie - Command them to group up on the side of the park where there aren't any zombies around, then face the convicts.
Hope this helped - don't shoot unless they are clearly stuck!

get the entertainment book (paradise plaza), construction book (paradise plaza), and edged weapons book (funland plaza) with space rider clown fight. Take the mini chainsaw after the fight and it will have nine times the attack life on it, this weapon can kill any boss but the gunshack guy. You can even destroy the convicts jeep and the convicts themselves with one chainsaw and have enough life in it to kill about 500 more zombies after the fact. Just hang around in food plaza until otis calls you about the ride in funland or whatever the place is called so you can access the weapon before you battle the convicts. Dont start mothers lament or barricaded pair until you get the chainsaw, it'll make it easier to transport those npcs as well.

First, you should either stock up on weapons from "The Huntin' Shack" and get health, or get the mega man gun and get health. Next, go into liesure park.The easiest way to kill them is to stay far away and wait until they get stuck on a tree.Then, take them out in this order:

its easier to get the car in the parking spot and go get the uzi from the storage underground and go back and hit the jeep full speed in the side with the car and it usualy kills the driver or the passenger. Then try to get them stuck on a corner of the building somewhere with your car on one wall and theirs on the wall right around the corner, stand behind the car as cover and youll be able to peak around and see the gunner and shoot him with the uzi and move back around the corner if he sees you, then go around and kill the last guy after you kill the gunner. i done it plenty of times, it works everytime.
ewwthatsmell - 8 years ago
If you don't have any of those guns wait till they crash into a pole or a tree use the pistol and kill the guy on the turret first and then
Acen1njaNZ - 8 years ago
Get at least one uzi (either from the food court, on top of the one itallian sign, or from the fountain in al fresca plaza) and a handgun, and a bottle of wine, and cap the gunner, and then either the passenger or the driver, and you should be good. I was able to do this with three survivors in tow, and they all survived. (albeit with one of them almost dead but still)
kirbyrox619 - 8 years ago
If you are looking to get rid of them early in the game then you will be dissapointed as they are not important characters, therefore they respawn. Typicaly I would get a shotgun and hide in the woods as the driver is unintelligent and the gunner you can dodge every time by hiding by a tree or circle strafing. While dodging the turret then avoiding the car (I never worry about the guy with the baseball bat as I beat him to death and he never hit me.) I wait until they get stuck and take out the turret guy with potshots inbetween the pause after his three discharges. After that just make sure they are in sight and stuck and its pretty easy. If you are on a new game I would be at least lvl 6-10 and have some wine.
Undriven - 8 years ago
i did it by going into the maitence geroge under north plaza were the drivable truck is and ramming the back at full speed that killed the gunner and i got lucky and got the jueep stuck between the truck and a tree so i got out and beat the driver to death then i beat the passenger when he changed seats hope it healped
oh and a few tips
1.Have the girl in the vehicle with you when you ram them to minimize her dieing chance
2.take a few of those queen bugs with you
3.do it after 7 pm on the first day or youll lose the machin gun at 7 if your not holding it
(and pleas excuse the spelling)
the_dark_reaver - 8 years ago
First you should exit out of Paradise Plaza and enter Leisure park, then after that head to the north plaza's entry and jump on the first wooden walk way after you enter ,then run all the way to the end and you will see adumpster and next to that you will see a narrow passage way go all the the down and you will get there before Cletus and inside should be three shotguns,and two sniper rifles and bam you will get the guns before he even gets there and he will be easy to defeat. :] GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
