It's that time of year again: after a fun-filled summer, kids everywhere are stocking up on shiny new school supplies, comparing schedules, and getting ready to catch the bus on their first day of school. Because this is my first year not going back to school, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to find out more about the seasonal back-to-school buzz. The team at Lab42 surveyed 500 parents to see how they felt about back-to-school shopping, and find out if they had any concerns about their child's upcoming year.
Check out the results below and leave a comment with your thoughts on the back-to-school season.

ERLANGER – Starting school can be a scary and overwhelming experience for students and their parents.
The Erlanger-Elsmere School District is attempting to eliminate that fear and ease the transition with a new summer program for incoming kindergartners.
"We recognize that the road to college and career readiness begins in early childhood," assistant superintendent David Palmore said.
"If a child is behind before they even start school, it makes their entire education difficult. Our goal is to help students get ready for kindergarten and make a big difference in their lives," he added.
Me and My School, an optional kindergarten preparedness program, is sponsored in part by a grant from the United Way of Greater Cincinnati in collaboration with its Success by Six program. Me and My School, Palmore said, supports children with learning, reading and self-regulating skills.
Participants will be introduced to themes through picture books, art activities, math activities, language and vocabulary development, and fine and gross motor development activities. Each week enrichment opportunities will be available with visits from the local library, Sunrock Farm and the Newport Aquarium.
In addition, students and their parents will be visited at home and share time together with teachers and staff during breakfast and lunch.
According to Lindeman Elementary instructional coach Krista Wainscott, this portion of the program is most important.
"A big part of this program is connecting with the families," she said. "Teachers will be talking with parents about how they can support learning and ease anxiety of transition for both students and parents. We want these connections so we can provide all the support we can for our families."

He was the forgotten man in the Jackson rotation to begin the year, but an excellent start got him promoted to AAA – where he was forgotten again, at least as soon as Danny Hultzen and Erasmo Ramirez arrived. That's nothing new to the cerebral Andrew Carraway. A right-hander with a fastball in the mid-upper 80s is going to be dismissed by prospect hounds, and Carraway understands this well. As a result, he's had to work on his location, deception and sequencing to succeed in pro ball, and it's worked pretty well for him so far.
It's great to hear about a guy with a 96mph fastball who's working on his command or a new pitch. But I wanted to hear from someone at the other end of the natural talent spectrum – someone whose stuff is marginal, and who needs to figure out how to work around that. Incidentally, I see that this interview with Trevor Bauer just went up today at Fangraphs. I think it's fascinating to read them together – both are very intelligent and clearly think about pitching a lot, but the specific aspects they think about are completely different. (Bauer and Carraway faced each other in Tacoma earlier)
Interview after the jump:
USSM: What do you throw, and do you throw anything different to lefties vs. righties?
Andrew Carraway: In the past, I've been a fastball/change-up pitcher, last year I worked a lot on using both sides of the plate with my fastball and using the change-up a lot to lefties and righties. More recently, I've been working to develop my curveball and cutter a lot more, and I guess traditionally you'll see more change-up to lefties and more cutters to righties, and so with the development of my cutter – something that breaks away from righties – I've been able to use that more against righties and use the change-up to lefties.
USSM: Where'd you develop the cutter? Was that something you developed in pro ball, or did you have that in college?
AC: In pro ball – when I was drafted, my slider wasn't very good, and when I was in AA, my pitching coach Lance Painter and I talked, and it became clear that my curve and that fourth pitch needed to be better. So we started playing around with grips, working in the bullpen there, so I went into the end of 2011 with the idea that I wanted to really develop that pitch. The goal of the offseason was coming into spring training with an improved cutter, so I could come into 2012 and really feel confident using it in games.
USSM: Did that make the assignment easier? You had a pretty good season in 2011, and at the end of the spring, you were assigned to Jackson again. Was there some disappointment there, or was it a good thing – that you were able to work with Lance on the cutter a bit more?
AC: There was some comfort there, we had a lot of games together – I actually worked with him a bit in 2009. Baseball's such a hard game. You see so many players who are so good at AAA/AA and the big leagues, so I've developed a lot more of a long-term attitude about it. Rather than going in to spring training with the a "AAA or bust" attitude, I really just focus on getting better – keep working, instead of an all-or-nothing approach.
USSM: Velocity's really important to a lot of pitchers. You're not lighting up the radar gun, but do you use that information? Is it helpful to you, or do you focus on what the hitters are doing?
AC: All the way through baseball, I've never had a blazing fastball, and I've never been a guy who's going to be a top prospect, hitting 95 on the radar gun. It's been something I've had to adjust to, knowing that I'm going to have to use something else– whether it be fastball location, which does a lot – if you have an average fastball but you can hit your spots, that does a lot.
Moving through the minor leagues, I've learned from my pitching coaches different ways to work with my fastball and develop pitches to go along with it, but since I played travel ball at age 10, it's always been something I've had to deal with. I still have to use my fastball – no matter how hard you throw, you've still got to throw it.
USSM: It doesn't have a lot of sink – you don't get ground balls; you get fly balls and quite a few infield pop-ups. Is that something that you look for – you know you're "on" when you're getting infield flies?
AC: It's more about quality of contact. When you're using a pitch over an over, quality of contact is a great gauge. If you see the quality of contact isn't great in a game, that gives you a bit of extra confidence. Since baseball is such a game of inches – millimeters really – if you have that little extra confidence, you're going to have that extra boost, and that can make the pitch even better because you've got confidence behind it. So if you're facing a lefty power hitter, maybe the best guy in the line-up, and everyone knows you've got a below-average fastball, you've got that extra confidence knowing you can get him out. And that's where using the change-up first to slow him down a bit can really help, so whether it's pop ups or slow ground balls, seeing poor contact can help you for the rest of the game. It keeps pushing you to keep throwing that pitch.
USSM: Obviously confidence is so important, but that's tough in a league like the PCL or Cal League. You've been bit by the HR bug a bit this year, and you were in High Desert. Is it tough to stick to your gameplan and avoid staying away from hitters?
AC: Yeah, as long as the fly balls are weakly hit, if some of those are aided by the park, you don't worry about that at all. If you're giving up two 400 foot shots a game, that's when you've got to say 'What I'm doing isn't working,' and you look at pitch selection or getting better pitch quality in my cutter. As long as the bad starts come every now and again, then rather than change your game, you just have to make your game work better. In giving up fly balls, you still need to have that pitch that you can get a ground ball, get a double play in a first and third situation.
USSM: I'd like to talk about your mechanics, which are a lot different from other people's. Here's a picture of you – just talk me through this. Your front foot's about planted, and your right arm's cocked back here towards first base. Is this how you've always done it?
(Here's the picture I showed him)
AC: A lot of it is just what's come naturally. I've always thrown some across my body. When I step towards 3B a bit, your body has to do something to bring yourself back in line, so you start rotating a little more, maybe there's more torque, more rotation in there, and maybe inadvertently that helps with deception a bit, throwing across your body the hitter's getting a different look than normal.
In my daily routine, even in the outfield, I just try to find those fastball mechanics that feel natural and feel right to me. In college, my coach at Virginia pushed his idea, which was that because my right arm drops pretty deeply, he wanted my glove arm to be doing the opposite – to come up higher. So as my hand starts going back, my glove starts going up in the opposite direction, and it sends it to a place that people don't see a lot. Much higher than most –most people just bring their hands apart a lot lower…
USSM: Most pitching coaches seem to like a "quiet" approach there.
My arm's going to do what it's naturally going to do, so he pushed my left arm to do the opposite, and maybe that pushed my body to compensate a little more, and you might be seeing that in the picture. Honestly, when I'm on the mound, majority of the time, I'm just trying to make a pitch. And the mechanics really are natural at this point.
USSM: You've talked on your own blog about your College World Series experience really being the peak experience you've had as a pitcher. What's the adjustment like to pro ball? You're playing every day, the season's longer – so you could develop that bond with your teammates quicker, but on the other hand, the rosters are changing weekly:
AC: The experience we had in Omaha that year, and winning as a team, gave me so many things to learn – it was such a high achievement to do it together. SO I did learn a lot about team baseball. More and more, I'm learning that the things you learn in the routine of pro ball really does offer a lot – a lot of things I'll take with me the rest of my life, after my career is over (hopefully that's a long ways down the road). The players are so good – you have to give everything you have, and some days you give up 8 runs in 3, and other days you go 7, give up 1 run and strike out 10. There's such a wide range of outcomes, and you have to find a way every day to keep improving, and keep putting yourself back on the mound and giving your team a chance to win.
There've been so many life lessons that I can talk about with my teammates in pro ball that are different, but that are still important and that will still be important to me down the road.
USSM: Your career after baseball's kind of taken shape already, as you're already working with a venture capital firm in Virginia. That seems like a very analytical, rigorous, data-driven sort of a thing – do you approach baseball the same way, or is it something completely different – a different hemisphere of the brain?
AC: It's analytical, yes, but the ways I would compare baseball and investing is exactly what was discussed in Moneyball – looking for value where others don't see it. There are similarities for me, because I can't throw my glove on the field and let my stuff speak for me. I'm always looking for those little advantages – maybe they're advantages that others haven't seen as much, but more likely, they're things I can learn from guys like Brian Sweeney, whose been in the majors, he's played in Japan – he's someone I have tremendous respect for. He knows how to get hitters out. It's great to learn from a guy like that. Both of us are 87-90, we have to pick up on the details more than guys who are 96, so in those ways it's similar in that those small details get so important.
It's different in that, [in the book] when you're looking at a company, it's more about building a team, and moving pieces around and looking for value that way, whereas when you're on the mound, the things you're looking for are different. The more you think about it, the more you can pick up as the game goes along, the more it helps.
USSM: em>Ok, one more controversial, non-baseball question. We've had bond yields in Spain that briefly neared 8%, they've been down recently but are still in the 6.5% range. Is the Euro going to survive? Can the ECB do enough to save Spain?
AC: I've heard some smart people predict that before this whole thing's over, three countries will leave the euro. So if a country like Greece exits, even after the billions pledged to it, I don't think that would be all that surprising. In the bigger picture, I think the Euro will survive. If so many people are willing to fight so hard, they're going to fight to the bitter end.
Spain's a tricky situation, since they've got so many regions that are trying to do their own thing, while the central government's trying to pull them in – it's much harder to predict when you've got so many parties acting within a country.
It's also so much larger than Greece….Germany hated bailing out Greece, but they could do it. At what point do the citizens in the north say enough's enough?
AC: It's so interesting in finance you see times like October of last year, when what *could happen* in Greece comes to the fore, when it's been developing so slowly. And then a possible solution comes up, and people come together just to talk, and then everything calms for a while and you get a two month rally. And then there's Spain's in the news, and then there's another "plan for a plan" and everything's calm again. Nothing's changed, but it comes into the news again, and everyone's terrified again. It's like two trains colliding in slow motion – people sometimes forget that the trains are still there – all that makes it really hard to put your money in right now. People forget about it, and react to the latest news.

I think it's safe to say that Instagram has been a pretty successful hit. In addition to the millions of users it has attracted, it was acquired by Facebook for a billion dollars. Now, there's a new iPhone app, which seems to aspire to be the Instagram for video content, but it also comes with Instagram integration. It's called ptch.
The app officially launched late last week, and it's already drawing plenty of instagram comparisons. If you watch the promo video, it's easy to see why:
Here are a few additional videos Ptch has uploaded to its channel, demonstrating the types of things it can do:
The app is backed by DreamWorks Animation, and provides in-app access to users' videos and photos from social feeds like Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and Viddy.
The videos users create with the app re called "ptches," and they can be "reptched" or remixed, and of course, shared.
Ptch is currently available for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod and iPad.
No word on when we might expect an Android version, but if Ptch has learned anything from Instagram, they'd do well to get an Android app out soon. As soon as Instagram's Android app launched, Instagram downloads skyrocketed. In May, Instagram surpassed 50 million users.

Saturday's matchup in the Big Ten Championship Game is being billed as the conference's best offense versus the best defense.
It's also being billed as Ohio State's Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde versus Michigan State's Max Bullough and Darqueze Dennard.
Those billings aren't just hyperbole, but before we look ahead to the matchup this weekend, it's wise to take a step back and assess just how good Ohio State's offense actually is.
We all know it's a powerful group and has scored a ton of points, but few are seeing the big picture with this group. Not only is this Ohio State offense topping the Big Ten in 2013, it's one of the historically great offenses in conference annals.
No, that's not hyperbole—the numbers suggest that Ohio State is having one of the greatest scoring and rushing seasons of any offense in conference history and certainly in the modern era (post-World War II) of Big Ten football.
Ohio State has scored 578 points so far this season, which puts it fifth in Big Ten history with two more games to go. Should the Buckeyes score more than 30 points a game over the next two contests, it will be in the company of the best-scoring teams of all time.
This team is currently on pace to be the second-best-scoring team of all time in the Big Ten, only topped by the 1904 Minnesota Golden Gophers (725).
It would mean this offense is the best scoring offense in the modern era of Big Ten football.
OSU's scoring…

Pros and Cons of Internet Phone System
You can avail all the sophisticated advanced features of Internet phone system (or) VOIP provided you have a regular telephone and access to a reliable high speed broad band connection. Once you have both of those, you are ready to start saving tons of money on local and long distance phone calls by switching over to VoIP system. This technology is of the future and it will surely replace traditional telephone service at some point in time.
This system is becoming increasingly popular amongst the business community and the demand for it is steeply going up by the day. This is not to say that this system is absolutely perfect and completely devoid of demerits. It will therefore be worthwhile to do a study of the pros and cons of these systems.
It can be stated without fear of contradiction that this system has numerous advantages over traditional telephone service. The first and foremost advantage is the cost benefits. Users have a high-speed internet connection can make phone calls from PC-to-PC anywhere in the world for free. Even the more common PC-to-Phone calls are tremendously cheaper than regular phone service.
Another noteworthy advantage of internet phone is it is portable. You can make and receive phone calls at all places where is a broadband accessibility by simply signing in to your VOIP account. When you are traveling on business, all you need to do is to simply carry a headset or this phone system then you can talk to anyone you wish in a most economical way.. Besides phone-to phone system is also portable as these phones are compact and light enough to carry anywhere.
This system provides a host of useful features like call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, caller ID and 3way-conferencing. Several standard features are there that come to you without any extra charge. Even while you are conversing on the phone, you can send pictures and documents at the same time.
There is no denying that there are a few drawbacks with this system. The first is the fact that you will be able to avail internet phone service during a power outage unlike traditional phone service that will not be affected by black-outs. Yet another shortcoming of this system is limited emergency calling.
Emergency (911) calls can be another problem area for many prospective customers. In the event that you need to call 911 but have to suddenly leave without speaking, your call can be traced when dialed from a traditional phone. This will not be the case with VoIP. But, it is understood that a new technology is being developed called 'e911' that will make this feasible.
There are certain other complaints like, having undependable sound quality and data sent across the Internet usually arrives at its destination scrambled.
There are some security concerns with this phone system. One is that spyware can be used to access your phone systems. "Packet sniffers" enable hackers to eavesdrop on conversations, and spyware called "dialers" is capable of letting thieves to direct phone calls through your Internet connection. Thus, a business Internet phone system needs to have firewall security integrated with the rest of the network.

Eight U-Va. lacrosse players have been charged with alcohol-related offenses during their careers at the school
Thursday, May 6, 2010
Eight of the 41 players on the roster of the University of Virginia men's lacrosse team, including accused murderer George Huguely, have been charged with alcohol-related offenses during their careers at the school, according to court records.
The charges include underage alcohol possession, using a fake ID and driving while intoxicated, according to a review of records available online. Two players were found not guilty, while six were convicted or pleaded guilty. A ninth player was charged with underage possession of alcohol, but it is unclear whether he was attending U-Va. at the time. His case was dismissed.
Huguely's arrest Monday in the death of Yeardley Love, a classmate and fellow lacrosse player, has focused scrutiny on Huguely's earlier arrest for a drunken, violent confrontation with a police officer, and on his team's reputation among students for hard partying.
The fatal altercation between Huguely and Love early Monday in her Charlottesville apartment may not have been their first violent encounter. Two months before Love's death, two current and one former University of North Carolina lacrosse players intervened to separate Huguely from Love at a party on the U-Va. campus in Charlottesville, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident. The UNC players were in Charlottesville visiting with friends.
A reporter asked U-Va. President John T. Casteen III about the incident at a news conference Wednesday. Casteen said he knew nothing about it. Huguely's attorney did not immediately reply to a phone message and e-mail seeking comment.
Casteen also said that school officials were unaware of Huguely's prior arrest and that officials, coaches and trainers had no indication of violence on his part. But Casteen acknowledged that "there are a number of gaps in this system that concern me." He said the school would begin to screen students against public records before each semester.
U-Va. Athletic Director Craig Littlepage, asked about the alcohol-related arrests at the news conference, said, "I'm sure those incidents that have been brought into the pipeline were handled in a manner that was consistent with what our longstanding policies have been."
Huguely told police he shook Love during a violent argument before her death, hitting her head repeatedly against a wall, according to affidavits filed by police in support of a search warrant. The pair, both 22, had dated for at least a year, but Love broke off the relationship in recent weeks, according to people close to them.
Huguely's attorney has said Love's death was a tragic accident.
In November 2008, Huguely pleaded guilty to resisting arrest, public swearing and public intoxication after a drunken scuffle with a female police officer during a visit to Lexington, Va. The officer said Huguely told her, "I'll kill you. I'll kill all of y'all. I'm not going to jail," in a diatribe laced with racial, sexual and other vulgar terms. She used a Taser to subdue him.
Huguely received a 60-day suspended sentence, six months' supervised probation and a fine, according to court records. He was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and 20 hours of substance abuse education, which he finished in July, the records show.
His lacrosse team has a strict alcohol policy. In 1999, Coach Dom Starsia adopted a rule that allowed players to drink only one night a week, usually Saturdays. A player who broke the rule a single time would be suspended indefinitely. A second offense would result in dismissal from the team.

Clontarf defeat lets Old Belvedere back in
League leaders beaten by understrength UCD who ran in five tries at Belfield
Clontarf lead Division 1A of the Ulster Bank League by just a point following a shock 39-33 defeat by an understrength UCD in a rearranged match at Belfield on Saturday.
The defeat puts second placed Old Belvedere right back in the hunt with only two matches remaining. It had been anticipated that Clontarf would prove much too strong for a UCD side missing several top players because of their involvement with the Leinster A side against Munster A on Friday night.
Yet, the students produced an outstanding performance of running rugby to score five tries through Barry Daly, Shane O'Meara, Stephen Murphy, Niall Earls and James Murray.
It took a late fightback for Clontarf to secure what could prove to be a vital losing bonus point.
They had tries from Michael McGrath and replacement Cathal O'Flynn to add to an early effort from Tim McCoy. Importantly, outhalf David Joyce was in good goal kicking form, landing all three conversions and four penalties.
The situation now is that Clontarf will play Lansdowne away and Ballynahinch at home in their last two games. Old Belvedere will face Dolphin at home and Garryowen away in what promises to be an exciting and tense finish to the title race.
UCD's surprise victory means they have moved up to third place in the table, ahead of Lansdowne who went down 38-18 to St Mary's College in the other rearranged game on the back pitch at the Aviva Stadium.
It was a vital success for St Mary's on the basis that they are now almost certainly clear of relegation trouble.
They crossed for six tries with scrumhalf Matthew D'Arcy getting two of them.
The others came from Ciaran Ruddock, Robbie Hudson, Marcus O'Driscoll and Colm McMahon. Lansdowne replied with tries from Willie Walsh, Peter Dooley and Tom Kiersey.

Reflective Coatings for Asphalt Roofs
If you spend more money and energy on cooling than heating, you can cut this summer's air conditioning bills by investing in a reflective roof coating. The main options for coating an asphalt roof are white polymers and asphalt-like resins with reflective aluminum flakes. Both are reasonably priced, and offer short payback periods.
Why use a reflective roof coating?
Flat asphalt roofs reach up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and absorb up to 70 percent of the solar heat blasting onto the building. By contrast, the best reflective roof coatings reflect up to 80% of solar heat, and can reduce surface temperatures on a roof by 80 degrees.
In turn, this will cut temperatures in the building by up to 10 degrees, increase the effectiveness of the insulation, and cut cooling energy costs by 25% to 70%. It also makes the building more comfortable in hallways or other areas that may not be air conditioned.
The roof will also last longer without as much heat-related cracking and deterioration, saving money and materials in the long run.
White Reflective Roof Coatings
High-quality white polymeric coatings are widely available. They are made with acrylics or similar materials mixed with an opaque, white and reflective pigment. They are probably the most effective reflective coating for the majority of asphalt roofs. There are also polymeric coatings that are tinted for aesthetic reasons, but they are less reflective and therefore won't save as much energy.
Tests at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory showed white elastomeric coatings offer about 60% solar reflectance, leaving the roof temperature 36 degrees higher than the ambient air temperature - a much smaller difference than that generated by a black asphalt roof. All polymeric coatings must be chosen and applied carefully, particularly on rough asphalt roofs.
Aluminum Reflective Roof Coatings
Metallic reflective coatings may be better for some rough asphalt roofs. They use asphalt-like resins and other materials mixed with aluminum flakes. The aluminum rises to the surface of the coating as it sets, creating a solid, reflective surface. Metallic coatings are rated at 55% reflectance, which is similar to the elastomeric coatings. But aluminum typically has higher average temperatures than elastomeric-coated roofs. The aluminum retains heat more than elastomeric coatings.
Calculate Your Savings
Though the federal government does not offer energy savings rebates for reflective roof coatings, you can look for Energy Star-rated roof coatings, which guarantee a minimum level of reflectance.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory also have a roof savings calculator. It uses weather data and your building information to estimate the cost of a new roofing system or coating, and the potential energy savings. The calculation tool is in the beta phase and is not fully automated. After you plug in data, the lab will E-mail you results.
Again, most people who live in hot climates and heavily use air conditioning will benefit in comfort and energy savings from a reflective roof coating.
Consider a white roof for your home, or possibly solar shingles.

At the Mountains of Madness tells the first-person tale of geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University in the USA. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. For he has been there and seen the unimaginable horrors that lay beyond the mountains.
At the Mountains of Madness was written by HP Lovecraft in 1931, originally a serialised story published in Astounding Stories magazine in the US. While considered by fans to be part of the Cthulhu Mythos stories that HPL is most famous for, some academics argue that the author was actually 'demythologising' much of his earlier work.
Whichever it is, the story is massively popular, and there are talks of a movie adaptation by Steven Spielberg and Guillermo Del Toro in the offing. This 2010 adaptation comprises 5 episodes, originally aired on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and offered here in exclusive Extended Editions.
©2010 Ladbroke Productions (Radio) Ltd (P)2011 Spokenworld Audio/Ladbroke Audio Ltd
"Fantastic "
Atmospheric, chilling and so evocative of an Antarctic exploration gone wrong. Best Lovecraft narration ever
"An essential to the cthulhu mythos."
Firstly, the readers performance in this and his reading of the shadow over innsmouth was outstanding. These audio books are also a perfect example of how an orchestral track should be used to improve a recording. the addition of radio static, and howling arctic winds during parts of the story made for a very immersive experience. As for the story itself, it contains important history regarding the old ones, as well as a first hand encounter with the thing that should not be, making this an essential listen for any fan of the cthulhu mythos.
"Brilliant in story and production value"
One of the best IMHO. The production values are the best you can get for HP Lovecraft audio retellings. The narration is top notch and the background music and eerie sound effects that provide for and set the mood of a disturbingly desolate landscape (for which this story relies upon for its setting) is fantastic beyond words, again IMHO. As for the story well it's one of HP Lovecraft's best works and part of the awesome Cthulhu mythos.
The entire story is memorable however if I had to pick a point in the story I'd say it's chapter 2 and beyond in this audio tale because this is when you get into the meat of the story and the disturbing and fascinating Cthulhu mythos.
His narration and pattern of speech for this story sets the perfect mood and tempo for this audio tale. This audio tale puts the listener on a path that demonstrates the greatness of HP Lovecraft's work. Alongside the chilling feeling you get from listening to this wonderfully fascinating yet disturbing story that is very well produced and delightfully narrated.
Gothic Horror Sci-Fi
I want more from this producer and performer. Richard Coyle is awesome. Additionally if he were to be paired up with say Wayne June (voice actor from another series of HP Lovecraft narrations) in seperate piece of work dedicated to narrating HP's works using the same production values well then I'd be in Cthulu heaven (if there is a such a thing.).
Again, I can't stress enough how the eerie (but never gaudy) background music and sound fx's only add to the wonderful narration and both create a true theater of the mind that sets the mood and tempo for this wickedly disturbing and chilling work by HP Lovecraft.
"Fantastic Production"
The narration, music, and atmospheric sound effects are all top notch. The story is amazing, as well. Great all around!
"Great story, incredible production value"
As others have noted, it's not often an audiobook had such production value. The sound effects, radio filters, and occasional background tracks truly bring this tale of horror to life.
"The best abridged audio reading. "
This is a stunning, brilliantly performed abridged reading. Richard Coyle is fantastic and the music, simulated radio transmissions and all other effects, make this a superb and horrifying experience. I can only hope there will be more done in this manner, preferably all with Mr. Coyle's considerable talent giving them voice. Highly recommended.
"Fear the Unknown "
-The narrator is spot on. I now read Lovecraft's writings in his voice
-The atmosphere is thick and unnerving. The subtle background audio really helps with immersion
-Lovecraft, for the most part, has a clever way with words
Not so good (SPOILERS):
-Some of Lovecraft's vocabulary is hard to follow with. I'm not a big lit buff, but still, keep a dictionary handy
-(SPOILERS) I didn't really care for Lovecraft's in depth information about the Great Old Ones. It carried on for too long and broke up the pacing of the of the story. Also, it made the Great Oldies seem to relatable which kind of hampered their mystique and terror.
-Don't expect too much characterization as strong characters aren't Lovecraft's schtick
Conclusion: It's a solid read with all the things Lovecraft is admired for with great narration.

Time for a Shiny New Post
Because, though I could look at those triathlon photos forever (and probably will), the moment has passed, and life goes on, even if it appears frozen here in Blogland.
So ... in other news: we got a new couch! (Pictured above). We lucked on it half-price back in April, ordered it, and kind of forgot about it, the way one does, until the company called to say it was coming. Now. Queue frantic clearing of living-room. And then queue um, where was this supposed to go, honey, do you remember? Because we'd originally intended it to replace the ten-year-old sofa (aka gymnasium), now sway-backed and spring-popping. But the new couch looked too lovely and clean, and besides, the living-room lacked seating; wasn't that the whole point of the new couch? So we spent our Friday evening huffing items back and forth (books! shelves! toys!), removing a few, dragging the piano to a new and starring location, hiding the communal computer (somewhat), and keeping both couches. Almost got it finished before Kevin left for his Friday night soccer game.
Right away, the kids started arguing over WHO GOT TO PLAY THE PIANO. I kid you not. I had the kitchen timer going.
The new lay-out has more reading areas. More seating in front of bright windows. More seating, period. And the piano is getting played far more frequently.
Though this is not meant to be a commentary on Boys versus Girls, or Sons versus Daughters, or Mars versus Venus, here's what the boys were doing in the newly laid-out living-room the other evening.
And here's what daughter # 1 was doing.
And daughter # 2.
This is not to suggest that daughters don't wrestle. But whenever daughter # 1 enters into the fray, holding a pillow, with a gleam in her eye, I shut the show down. I don't think this is sexist, really, I don't. It's because she aims with intent. Somehow, the boys wrestle without doing each other any harm. But AppleApple comes out swinging. She wants to Win. (Maybe I am parenting her differently. What do you think?).

Presidential Palace media office following a statement said, "President Hamid Karzai, who is currently on an official trip to Indonesia to participate in the 5th Bali Democracy Forum, learnt of the results of the US elections and expresses his and that of the people of the Afghanistan's congratulations to President Obama and wishes him further success."
The source further added, "President Karzai also hopes that with the re-election of President Obama, the bilateral relations between Afghanistan and the United States could further expand on the basis of mutual interests of the two countries."
President Barack Obama rolled to re-election Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions. In victory, he confidently promised better days ahead.
In Chicago, Obama greeted a throng of wellwishers at 1:35 a.m. EST with his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia Sasha at his side. "Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of protecting our Union moves forward. It moves forward because of you," Obama said. "Tonight, in this election, you, the American people reminded us that while our road has been hard..we have picked ourselves up, and for the United States of America, the best is yet to come."
The nationwide popular vote remained extremely close with Obama taking about 50 percent to 49 percent for Romney after a campaign in which the candidates and their party allies spent a combined $2 billion. But Obama comfortably won the electoral votes needed in the state-by-state system used to choose US presidents.
Romney made a brief, graceful concession speech before a disappointed crowd in Boston. He summoned all Americans to pray for Obama and urged the night's political winners to put partisan bickering aside and "reach across the aisle" to tackle the nation's problems.

Kastehelmi Small Bowl
The Finnish word "kastehelmi" means "dewdrop," which refers to the rings of small glass beads that give each piece in the Iittala Kastehelmi collection its distinct character. Originally designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964, the Kastehelmi series was relaunched in 2010.
The idea of using droplets of glass as decoration came to Oiva Toikka when he was thinking of ways to hide the joint marks left by the production process. The result was Iittala Kastehelmi, which features rings of tiny glass bubbles that extend outwards from the centre of each piece. Today, as then, Iittala Kastehelmi is one of the most beloved series in the Iittala range.

Arabic numerals (1–9 and 19 for business auto, 21–31 for garage,
41–50 and 59 for truckers, and 61–71 and 79 for motor carrier) used
to denote to what category of autos a commercial auto policy's various
coverages will apply. Symbols 10 (business auto), 32 (garage), 51
and 52 (truckers), and 72 and 73 (motor carrier) are custom symbols,
available through the use of the covered autos designation symbol
endorsement (CA 99 54), which allows the insurer and named insured
to agree to some modified wording that is a better fit in defining
the term "covered autos" for the policy in question.
Covered auto symbols, which are crucial in defining the policy's scope
of coverage, appear in the declarations page of the auto policy
next to each coverage purchased in the policy (e.g., liability,
personal injury protection (PIP), auto medical payments, and uninsured
and underinsured motorists (UM/UIM)). The symbols
reflect the named insured's selection as to what types of vehicles
are insured for that coverage (e.g., owned autos, hired autos,
nonowned autos).

China's Classroom Crackdown
U.S. partners are silent about attacks on a Peking U. colleague.
Numerous Western universities, including Columbia and Stanford, have formed joint degree programs or faculty exchanges in recent years with Peking University, China's most prestigious school. We wonder how many will reconsider these associations now that the Peking University faculty has sacked one of its most prominent economics professors for advocating more political freedom.
Professor Xia Yeliang told the Associated Press that a 34-member faculty at Peking University's School of Economics voted last week to dismiss...

Life insurance with no medical questions at all?
Not exactly, but close. Life insurance carriers are not in the business of just giving away insurance. While you might not find an application without any medical nosiness by the insurer, there are many policies that ask only a few health questions and do not require a medical exam.
No Medical Exam Insurance
These types of policies go through much of the same underwriting process as a traditional life insurance policy, except for one major thing- there is no actual physical exam involved. That means there is no blood drawn, no urinalysis, no height and weight check, and no blood pressure or cholesterol readings. The carrier relies on your answers to a set of health questions as well as information available in public databases to decide whether or not to insure you. The health questions can be as little as 4 to 5 questions or as many as 20 or 30. Some companies will want to know anything and everything about you. For example:
- Your health history
- What prescriptions you take
- Your family's health history
- Your driving history
- Your occupation and activities you participate in
- Your height and weight
Those are just a few examples of information that a life insurance carrier will gather to get an overall picture of your insurability. The application and underwriting standards will vary from company to company.
Simplified Issue Insurance
This means that there is no exam and usually just a short application with a few health questions, hence the name simplified issue. The carrier will verify your answers with information on the Medical Information Bureau and prescription databases. Many carriers will require a phone interview and record your answers.
Guaranteed Issue Insurance
This type of life insurance policy is exactly what it says- guaranteed issue. The application can be as short as 5 to 7 health questions, and the company really just wants to know of any terminal illnesses, recent diagnosis', and if you've had a recent heart attack. This type of policy is good for someone who has major health issues (though not terminal), or someone who has been denied for life insurance elsewhere. The benefits on a guaranteed issue policy will be graded. That means that the death benefit will not pay out 100% until at least two years into the policy. For example, if you die in year one, the carrier might pay your beneficiaries 25% of the death or sometimes only the premiums paid into the policy. If you die in year two, they might pay 50% or just the premiums paid in. This varies from carrier to carrier so be sure to find out the details of your graded payout.
Overall, a life insurance policy without a medical exam can be a convenient way to obtain life insurance. One thing you should know is that the rates for this type of policy are typically higher than a fully underwritten life insurance policy. The reason for that is because of the risk to the carrier. They are not checking your health out and simply relying on your honesty as well as public information that they can gather.

A group of educators waited anxiously in a hallway at Port Neches-Groves High School Thursday, when all of a sudden the sound of a gunshot sent them running.
The "gunman" was a specially trained emergency response instructor firing blanks.
It was all part of PN-G Superintendent Dr. Rodney Cavness' effort to make sure his faculty knows exactly what to do if ever faced with a real armed intruder.
"It fills in the holes in the crisis management plan and takes it a step higher," Cavness told 12News.
"We have to be prepared, because these things happen in society," said PN-G High School Principal Dr. Marc Keith.
Instructors with the Jacksonville, Florida-based company Safariland were hired to train teachers and administrators how to keep intruders out of their classrooms by blocking doorways with shower poles and ropes. They were also shown how to disarm a gunman, the proper way to carry the injured, and as a last resort... how to fight.
"We're not trying to make ninja warriors out of these educators, we're just trying to show them some techniques that law enforcement have known about for years," said Safariland training director Sandy Wall.
There is no talk right now of allowing teachers to carry firearms in the classrooms.
Cavness said he felt the training was necessary after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut last December.
"You just don't think about everything that you need to do in order to make an escape route and to keep a bunch of people safe at one time," said Diana Lege, a teacher who took part in the training.
With one more day of training to go, the PN-G educators are on their way to gaining a new set of skills they hope they never have to use.

Once in a blue moon, if one is lucky, an artist gets to be a part of a project much larger than oneself that turns out to be an uplifting, even transcendent, experience that reverberates beyond one's normal sphere. It is even more so when one can be involved in the creation of something for the first time. The Society for New Music's premiere of composer Persis Parshall Vehar's new chamber opera Eleanor Roosevelt is such an experience for all involved.
As the conductor I have the unique privilege of and responsibility for establishing the flow and momentum of the piece. Finding the musical and dramatic pacing and timing for this work, and all the motivic connections between scenes, has been a continuous experience of the joy of discovery. The opera is based on a book and play on Eleanor Roosevelt by Rhoda Lerman, and the libretto by Ms. Vehar's daughter Gabrielle contains some excellent wordplay. The opera itself has many wonderful dramatic turning points, and many power moments for the title character, which Ms. Vehar has effectively captured in music. Among my favorites:
In the first scene of Act I Eleanor expresses the wish to be of service in some larger cause by volunteering in World War I. The expectations that come with the social position of her family are expressed through the character of her mother in law: "Fixed things, Eleanor." (The orchestra plays exclusively Mama's motive, underscoring her dominance.) Not long afterward FDR's infidelity is revealed as Eleanor urbanely but poignantly observes: "She had been my social secretary, my excessively social secretary…." Her reading a letter to him from his mistress is set to a sardonic, biting dance in irregular meter reminiscent of Bernstein: "Meet me tonight, Franklin…." FDR replies "We will have to talk of this," to which she replies "Now's not time to talk of it…." ER continues "We will go on, and at the correct time, and I will let you know when the correct time is." The orchestral accompaniment becomes very strict and measured, with woodblock strikes evoking the passage of time. All of this shows Eleanor to be poised, sensitive, controlled, and above all dignified in facing her own pain – all of which is reflected in the music. The first scene finale "For the sake of the children" captures all of the bitterness, grim resolve, and weight of the moment.
Subsequent scenes reveal to Eleanor the awful reality of war and its victims in the form of three French widows and her military escort, British Major Duckworth. Duckworth's quirks are initially repulsive, but Eleanor comes to understand they are the result of his flashbacks to the battlefield. From these individuals she learns empathy: "My suffering seems so small compared to theirs, but I understand…." During a tour of the French graveyard Baupaume (comparable to Arlington Cemetery) both Duckworth and FDR tell her how people died in World War I. In the final scene of Act I she reflects (I presume this text to be from Eleanor Roosevelt's actual letters, on which the book and libretto are based): "I remember what I saw that day. I had always believed … that the world was in a state of progress and unfolding, evolving. The world was moving toward something more divine, less painful – and that it was the duty of each of us … to be part of the movement upward." Ms. Vehar sets this to espressivo strings ascending in a manner reminiscent of Barber's Adagio in one of the most exquisite and affecting moments of the opera.
The opera is about Eleanor's journey of discovering her voice and her calling in life. This journey continues in Act 2 when she invites some women leaders in labor, agriculture, and education over to the house for lunch. Mama Roosevelt confronts Eleanor about her friends: "I think it is unspeakable to allow those lowlifes into my house!" Finally Eleanor declares, "I shall build my own house, and invite whom I wish to lunch. Yes, I shall build it across the road – and I shall invite everybody I like!" (The best possible reason for building a house, to have lunch with your girlfriends!) "And you, Franklin, if you intend to run for office, you would be wise to come and visit!" And then, in a sweeping descending line over the subdominant: "We all have a great deal to learn, we all have a great deal to learn…." To learn what those from different backgrounds and experiences have to teach us – in this scene her own state of progress and unfolding has clearly begun.
In the finale of Act 2 Eleanor relates her realization that her calling was to work for peace and for human rights, and that she must answer that calling: "Tragedy isn't death, tragedy is what we do with our lives – or what we don't do." The final chorus sings the text of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, which was Eleanor Roosevelt's crowning achievement – one still very much relevant and timely to our own times, witness Libya, the Middle East, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
An elevated theme such as finding one's individual voice and declaring universal human rights places a considerable burden on the composer. Ms. Vehar has risen brilliantly to this challenge. It's not easy to avoid sounding either maudlin or hokey in handling this subject matter, but Ms. Vehar's score is neither – it is varied, subtle, balanced, and genuine. The music steadily builds to the final line "All human beings are born free, and equal in rights." This ending reaches toward the same expressive end as the monumental works of Western music, and in the dress rehearsal the cumulative effect was so powerful I felt as if were I conducting the finale of Mahler 8!
How often do we have the opportunity to see and hear, much less be a part of, such a powerful and inspirational project or event? The singers, especially Bridget Moriarty as Eleanor Roosevelt, have interpreted their characters beautifully and imaginatively. Director Gerard Moses, stage manager Victoria King, and others have given this production a richness and vividness onstage. Society for New Music's director Neva Pilgrim prepared the singers for over a year, and made it possible for such a visionary project to happen. And how fitting that all of this should happen near both Seneca Falls, the birthplace of women's suffrage, and Hyde Park, home of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt.
To paraphrase Eleanor, for an artist the highest aspiration is to be part of the movement upward toward something more divine. Working with this music one feels that the music is speaking to you personally, urging us to find and be true to our calling, to be strong and graceful in how we conduct ourselves, and to continue to challenge ourselves to grow and to work toward something noble as Eleanor does. Whether one experiences it as a performer or a member of the audience, a work like Eleanor Roosevelt gives us perhaps just such an opportunity. The greatest thanks to Persis for composing music with such strength and uplift for us to perform, and to Eleanor herself for her visionary and inspiring life and work.

Stimson Lumber Employee Pleads Guilty to Aiding Transportation of Stolen Goods
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 24, 2012
COEUR D'ALENE—Trevor Mokry, 32, of Plummer, Idaho, pleaded guilty yesterday in United States District Court in Coeur d'Alene to aiding the transportation of stolen goods, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
According to court records, between June 2007 and June 2011, Mokry aided and abetted the unlawful transportation of stolen lumber while employed by Stimson Lumber Company of Plummer, Idaho. According to the plea agreement, Mokry worked in the lumber yard and was responsible for loading and unloading trucks. He admitted that he entered into an unauthorized "mill direct" sales arrangement with a business located in Spokane, Washington, which involved the business' driver traveling from Spokane to Plummer to pick up lumber and then return to Spokane. Mokry loaded the truck and received a check from the driver for the lumber. According to the plea agreement, Mokry sold Stimson's lumber to the Spokane business without the permission or knowledge of Stimson and never paid Stimson for the lumber. Mokry admitted that he was paid $581,445.24 by the Spokane company for the lumber. The government is seeking restitution for the victim.
The charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release.
Sentencing is set for July 16, 2012 before U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Ferguson denies being a Rovers flop (Again)
Birmingham City midfielder Barry Ferguson heads back to an old club on Wednesday evening insisting that he wasn't a flop at Blackburn.
Ferguson spent two years at Ewood Park from 2003 - 2005 before heading back to Rangers with his tail tucked firmly in between his legs.
He was hit by a knee injury during his time at the club but was captain of the side for a period.
Ferguson, speaking to Sky Sports said - 'I was captain at Blackburn. I don't know why people have the perception that it didn't go well for me there.
'Maybe it was because I was injured. I had a bad knee injury but I came back and, when Graeme Souness left, Mark Hughes came in and I was still captain.
'I enjoyed my time at Blackburn and I thought I played well. I think if you asked Blackburn fans then they would agree.
'I think I gave everything I had and I made a lot of good friends as well.'
The reason people from Rovers don't get on with Barry is quite clear with is quite clear from this interview in my eyes.
Barry is an arrogant individual, Rovers fans don't like Barry because he lied to mvoe away from the club in 2005.
He also failed to live up to the hype that he himself helped build, he wasn't bad but he was nowhere as good as he promised he would be.
This snippet made me chuckle 'I think if you asked Blackburn fans they would agree'.
No, no we wouldn't Barry.
