Nested PCR overview
Santa Cruz Biotechnology inc. offers nested primers for measuring transcript levels. Each product will have 2 vials, an A set (forward & reverse) and B set (forward & reverse) primers. Each set of primers is provided 20 µl at a concentration of 10 µM. Since the primers are designed toward an mRNA template, they are designed to cross exon junctions and will not amplify genomic DNA.
The amplification of RNA requires the conversion of the RNA substrate into DNA. This is achieved through the use of a reverse transcriptase such as AMV RT (avian myeloblastis virus reverse transcriptase) or M-MuLV RT (moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase). The resulting cDNA can be used as a template for a standard PCR.
Nested PCR means that two pairs of PCR primers were used for a single locus. The first pair (A set) generates an amplicon within the locus as seen in any PCR experiment. The second pair of primers (B set; nested primers) bind within the first amplicon and produce a second PCR product that will be shorter than the first one. The logic behind this strategy is that if the wrong locus were amplified by mistake, the probability is very low that it would also be amplified a second time by a second pair of primers.
A set primer amplicon size ~1000 bp
B set primer amplicon size 250-500 bp
- To identify low levels of DNA contamination, do a PCR of a housekeeping gene and a portion of the RNA preparation as template. If there is contamination, there will be products in all samples.
Primer Tm Values
Tm values for PCR primers range between 55-60 C (19-22 nt, GC% ~55%, no Salt) OR 63-68 C w/salt. The A and B nested primer sets share similar base pair length, GC% and Tm values.
Nested PCR utilizes two pairs of PCR primers for a single locus. The first primer pair A set amplifies within the locus. The second primer pair B set (nested primers) then binds within the 'A' amplicon to produce a second nested 'B' amplicon.

- Addition of Gelatin (0.01 mg/ml final) stabilizes Taq DNA polymerase during the PCR reaction, yielding more amplification product.
Internal Control
Primers toward an existing transcript or RNA entity will ensure when reaction conditions yield signal.
- 18s rRNA
cDNA Synthesis (Reverse Transcription)
In a standard RT-PCR assay, varying amounts of RNA template 10ug, 1ug, 100ng, 100pg are reversely transcribed with a poly dT primer that attaches to the polyadenylation track on mRNA to yield a cDNA template.
- Prepare a solution containing:
a) 1 ul oligo (dT)12–18 (500 ug/ml)
b) 1 ng-5 ug total RNA
c) 1 ul 10 mM dNTPs
d) and add RNase-free water to a final volume of 12 ul
- If extensive secondary structure is potentially present in the RNA, the RNA sample may be denatured at +70°C for 5 min before adding it to the reaction minimize RNA secondary structure, and placed on ice for 5 min before adding it to the reaction.
a) 4 ul 5x reverse transcriptase buffer
b) 2 ul 0.1 M DTT
c) 1 u RNase inhibitor
Reverse Transcritpion Reaction
- Incubate at +30°C for 10 min minutes to anneal primer and template.
- Add 1 ul reverse transcriptase (200 units) and incubate at 42° C for 60 minutes to extend the primer and then terminate the reaction by incubating at 70° C for 15 minutes. The RNA is subsequently reverse transcribed, resulting in cDNA synthesis.
NOTE: (As an optional step add 1 ul RNase H (2 unit/ul) and incubate at 37° C for 20 minutes)
First PCR reaction
- Prepare a solution containing:
a) 5 ul 10x PCR buffer (with or without MgCl2)
b) 5 ul 25 mM MgCl2 (It may be necessary to vary the MgCl2 concentration, 2.5 mM final concentration recommended.)
c) 1 ul 10 mM dNTP
d) 1 ul primer pair A
e) 1 ul Taq DNA polymerase
f) 2 ul cDNA and add water to 50 ul
First PCR amplification parameters
Perform 15–35 cycles of PCR. Annealing and extension conditions are primer and template dependent and must be determined empirically for each template-primer pair. Tm values for PCR primers generally range between 55-60 C
- Denaturation 96°C, 0.5-1.5 minute
- Annealing 57°C, 0.5-1 minute
- Polymerization (35 cycles) 72°C, 0.5-2 minutes
- Link; Extension (1 cycle) 70°C, 5 minutes
- Link to a 4°C Soak file.
NOTE: Addition of Gelatin (0.01 mg/ml final) stabilizes Taq DNA polymerase, yielding more amplification product.
Second (nested) PCR reaction
- Prepare a solution containing:
a) 5 ul 10x PCR buffer (with or without MgCl2)
b) 5 ul 25 mM MgCl2 (It may be necessary to vary the MgCl2 concentration, 2.5 mM final concentration recommended)
c) 1 ul 10 mM dNTP
d) 1 ul primer pair B
e) 1 ul Taq DNA polymerase
f) 1–5 ul first PCR product and add water to 50 ul
Second PCR amplification parameters
Perform 15-25 cycles of PCR. Annealing and extension conditions are primer and template dependent and must be determined empirically for each template-primer pair. Tm values for PCR primers generally range between 55-60 C
- Denaturation 96°C, 30 sec
- Annealing 57°C, 30 sec
- Polymerization (35 cycles) 72°C, 30 sec
- Link; Extension (1 cycle) 70°C, 5 minutes
- Link to a 4°C Soak file.
NOTE: Addition of Gelatin (0.01 mg/ml final) stabilizes Taq DNA polymerase, yielding more amplification product.
- PCR products are visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis stained with an appropriate dye.
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Agarose gel electrophoresis can resolve DNA or RNA by size. DNA/RNA is visible in the gel when ethidium bromide is added during the gel casting process. EtBr intercalates between dsDNA or dsRNA and absorbs invisible UV light and emits visible orange light. SYBR Green absorbs blue light (λmax = 488 nm) and emits green light (λmax = 522 nm) may be used in place of EtBr, although more commonly this dye is used for qPCR.
- 0.7% gel will show good separation (resolution) of large DNA fragments (5–10kb)
- 2% gel will show good resolution for small fragments (0.2–1kb)
- 3% gel or vertical polyacrylamide gel for separating smaller fragments (the higher the % gel, the more brittle the gel)
Gel Casting
The volume of agarose required for a minigel is around 30–50mL.
- Weigh out 0.5g of agarose into a 250mL conical flask. Add 50mL of 0.5xTBE, swirl to mix.
- Microwave for about 1 minute to dissolve the agarose. Use gloves to handle and do not let it overboil; molten agarose is very hot.
- Let cool for 5 minutes or warm to touch with bare hands.
- Add 1µL of ethidium bromide (10mg/mL) and swirl to mix.
- Pour the gel into the resevoir. Push any bubbles away to the side using a disposable tip. Insert the comb. Wait at least 30-60 min.
- Add 0.5x TBE buffer into the gel tank to submerge the gel to 2–5mm depth. This is the running buffer.
- Load samples and run the gel no greater than 5 Volt/cm.
2L of 10xTBE
- 218g Tris base
- 110g Boric acid
- 9.3g EDTA
Dissolve the ingredients in 1.9L of distilled water. pH to about 8.3 using NaOH and make up to 2L.
Loading buffer
- 25mg bromophenol blue or xylene cyanol (Bromophenol blue migrates @ ~200–400bp. Xylene cyanol migrates ~4kb)
- 4g sucrose
- H2O to 10mL
Store at 4°C or -20

Review – Hazakim – Theophanies
Ive heard a few artists and fans alike remark about the incredible didactic potential of hip-hop music due to the genres mile-a-minute lyrical format. As a result of the fast-paced nature of hip-hop, rappers can convey tons of lyrical information in one trackmuch more than say, your average folk song. As a label, Lampmode has certainly made the most of hip-hops potential for rapidly dispensing pounds of information over beats, crafting a brand of rap known as lyrical theology.
Thus, it should be no surprise that Hazakims Theophanies is the quintessential example of this blend of theology and hip-hop. A beautifully crafted album, Theophanies will satisfy your musical tastes while stretching your intellect with theological insights that are usually only discussed inside of the walls of your (best) local seminary.
Theophanies is not just the usual theologically reformed hip-hop album. Theophanies is an blend of hip-hop and apologetics as the two brothersMichael and Anthony Wraybetter known as Hazakim examine the Old Testament Scriptures and effectively proclaim Yeshua (Jesus) as the Risen Messiah and Lord of all. If you havent caught the hints yet, Hazakim are Messianic Jews and Theophanies is driven by the Hazakims passion for proving Jesus as the Messiah, the crucified and risen Lord.
Its not difficult to believe that this project was several years in the works, Theophanies is intricately composed from the lyrics to the production to the structure of the album; all testify to the great deliberation and skill that went into the project.
The table for Theophanies is set with the violin laced Intro, which in the definition of epic fashion, unpacks the prophecies of the Messiah and the Jews awaiting his coming. Fulfillment (Ben Joseph, Ben David) follows as Hazakims apologetic anthem to those who dont view Jesus as the Messiah as the brothers reference the Hebrew Scriptures to prove that Jesus is indeed the fulfillment. While a solid track on all fronts, Fulfillment is just a taste of the impressive music to come on the rest of the album.
Tracks like Genesis 18, Genesis 32, Exodus 3, and Judges 13, each detail a theophany (an appearance of God to man) from the OT Scriptures and affirm them as revelations of Yeshua. Not only do Hazakim beautifully retell each respective passage, they succinctly prove Jesus as the revelation. Quite fittingly, the production of these theophany tracks are highly influenced by Jewish culture and feature rhythmic Jewish melodies, instrumentation, and some downright fresh Hebrew samples. One of the best cuts on the album is Genesis 18 which features some excellent Hebrew instrumentation which I cannot justly describe. Lets just say these theophany tracks will have your feet moving, your lips attempting to sing along with the dope Hebrew samples and your mind stretched as you try to process the surfeit of lyrical info hitting you bar after bar. (Yes, Theophanies has an incredibly high-replay value and when youre bumping it at home, listen with a pen and pad for notes.)
Even the tracks that arent as strongly influenced with Jewish production elements are still excellent in quality and remarkably fit well with the aura of the album. Salvation Plan featuring Stephen the Levite is equipped with a typical yet lovely soul sample as Hazakim and Stephen team up to detail Gods plan of salvation from Abraham to Jesus; yet another track that will leave even the most enlightened enlightened.
Passover Lamb, while only average in production, features some highly edifying lyrics as the brothers rap enact Jewish perspectives regarding the Passover, ultimately linking the tale to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
Crucifixion Description, is another joint that is soulful in production, yet as youd assume from its title, somber and poignant in content. As Hazakim describe, with incredible detail, the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, listeners will be hard pressed not to be movedespecially to think that, while unbelievably painful physically, it was becoming sin on the cross that was most traumatizing for the Lord (2 Cor. 5:21).
Overall, Theophanies is nothing short of remarkable. In what seems to be their trademark fashion, Hazakim has beautifully blended hip-hop, theology, and apologetics to witness to unbelieving Jews and consequently, better equip and inspire other believers to witness to the Jewish community, all the while further enlightening all listeners on how the Hebrew Scriptures testify to Jesus as Lord. Hip-hop is an incredible tool and Hazakim has it down to a science.
At 20 tracks, Theophanies is mostly excellent throughout and even its one or two merely average production moments outshine most anything else in the genre, lyrically. Complete with meaningful interludes, Theophanies is a rare breed of album: it will satisfy you musically with its innovative sounds and enlighten even the enlightened with its emphasis on theology and apologetics, ultimately demonstrating that the faith of Abraham culminates in Jesus Christ. Do yourself a huge favor and purchase Theophanies immediately.

2 charged in 24 car break-ins in Greensboro
Two men face charges in connection with more than 20 car break-ins in Greensboro in late July.
Roland Patrick Cobbins, 53, of Winston-Salem, and Aaron Thomas Smith, 26, of Greensboro, were charged in different incidents that started July 21.
Greensboro police allege Cobbins broke into 11 vehicles parked at two strip clubs, Christy's Cabaret and Mirage, in the early hours of July 21. Electronics, sunglasses and handbags were stolen from a total of 15 people, police said.
Police allege Smith stole items from 13 unlocked cars starting July 25 on Buckhorne Road, Kettering Place, Radnor Drive and Montrose Drive. The total value of stolen property was $5,000.
Cobbins was held under a $25,000 secured bond in the Guilford County Jail, while Smith already is in jail and faces more than 40 total charges.

Hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets across the West Bank and Gaza strip Sunday to commemorate Palestinian Prisoners' Day.
In Ramallah, a rally marking the Prisoners' Day was organized by a number of organizations including the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society, the Center for Defending Freedoms, and the Ramallah governor's office.
Palestinians gathered on the streets of Ramallah waving Palestinian flag and posters of Palestinians incarcerated by Israel, among them Marwan Barghouti, Fatah leader and MP, who is often referred to as the "Palestinian Mandela," Al Jazeera reported.
Issa Qarage, Chairman of the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs said Israel's arrest and detention of Palestinians violates prisoners' rights and is a crime against humanity.
"We will spare no effort to have them released by either turning to international bodies, like the International Criminal Court, or by continuing to shed light on their plight with events like these," Qarage added.
According to Addameer, a Palestinian rights group, there are currently over 7,000 Palestinian political prisoners, among them over 400 children, 60 women and 700 administrative detainees held for indefinite period of time without charge or trial.
"Israeli mass incarceration of Palestinians is an inextricable part of the ongoing violence of occupation," Addameer said in a public statement.
The group also called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to, "immediately open an investigation into the case of Palestinian prisoners and detainees." and to bring those who have "tortured, extrajudicially executed, forcibly transferred and arbitrarily detained Palestinians," to be held responsible for their crimes.
In Gaza City, members of various Palestinian political factions held a march from the Unknown Soldier's Square at the city center to the premise of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Officials from Palestinian factions delivered speeches during the march, expressing support for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel's prisons and calling for an end to the rift between Fatah and Hamas, while also slamming Fatah for doing an "inadequate job supporting the prisoners".
"The prisoners' case must be brought to the negotiating table," said Wasfi Qabha, Hamas leader and former minister of detainees. "The PA signed a peace agreement with Israel without securing any guarantees to release our prisoners."
Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said that al Qassam Brigades will stand firm on its promise to release prisoners, and that it has "enough tools to accomplish an honorable prisoner swap deal with Israel."
Earlier this month, Hamas denied negotiations were being made with Israel concerning the four Israelis held captive in the Gaza strip, adding that the exchange would not be made unless Israel "paid a price", Ma'an News reported.
Prisoners' issues have been considered one of the most sensitive topics among Palestinians, and one that has been widely discussed and agreed upon by Palestinian political factions, despite the division between them.
In a press release on Sunday, Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah also marked Palestinian Prisoner's Day, saying that "the Israeli occupation has transformed our homeland into a large prison."

Epicurus' aphorism. In "Western" culture, there are several examples of holistic approaches to living happily. Unfortunately, a sizable part of elites decided to ignore them, because such approaches were not considered suitable to the social hierarchy of the times. The Greek philosopher Epicurus is one of such examples. These are some quotes from his writings, most of which are lost:
– It is not drinking bouts and continuous partying and sexual indulgence, or consuming fish and the other dainties of an extravagant table, which produce the pleasant life, but sober calculation which searches out the reasons for everything to be chosen or avoided and banishes those beliefs which are the cause of the greatest agony of the mind.
– We must laugh and philosophize and manage our households and look after our other affairs all at the same time, and never stop proclaiming the words of the true philosophy.
– Of all the things that wisdom advises to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life, by far the greatest is the acquisition of friends.
– We do not need the help of our friends so much as the confidence that our friends will help us.
– Friendship dances round the world, summoning every one of us to awake to the message of the happy life.
– The beginning and the greatest of all these good things is prudence. That is why prudence is more valuable even than philosophy itself: it is the source of all the other virtues.
– Let nothing be done in your life which will cause you to fear if it becomes known to your neighbour.
– The greatest fruit of self-sufficiency is freedom
– If one does achieve great wealth, one could easily share this out in order to obtain the good will of one's neighbours.
– We should not spoil what we have by desiring what we have not
The Study of Science
– There are two kinds of enquiry, the one concerned with things, the other with nothing but words.
– In a joint philosophical debate, he who is defeated gains in so far as he has learned something new.
Foretelling the Future
– No means of predicting the future really exists, and if it did, we must regard what happens according to it as nothing to us.
– Dreams possess neither a divine nature nor prophetic power. They arise from the impact of images.
– Everyone leaves life as though he had just been born.
– Sweet is the memory of a dead friend.
– Let us share our friends' suffering not with laments but with thoughtful concern.
– "I was not; I have been; I am not; I do not mind" – written on the gravestones of followers.

Demand condoms for Alabama prisoners!
From Indiana Queer Prisoner Solidarity
On February 10, 2015, prisoners in Alabama need as many people as possible to call the prison officials below and demand that condoms be made available to prisoners through the medical healthcare unit and/or by adding them to the list of approved commissary items and products prisoners are allowed to purchase. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are rampant in the prisons and to minimize their spread, condoms are a necessity! This is a major health issue. One prison has already been placed on quarantine due to widespread STDs. CALL: Commissioner Kim Thomas: (334) 353-3883 Governor Robert Bentley: (334) 242-7100 Spread the word! We want condoms!

Airline to roll out child-free 'Quiet Zone' in coach class
Passengers who don't want to sit near young children will soon get that option on Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia X.
The airline, which functions of the long-haul unit of Kuala Lumpur-based AirAsia, says it will set aside the first seven rows of coach for passengers aged 12 and older. AirAsia X is euphemistically calling the area the "Quiet Zone," saying it will debut in February.
The airline says on its website that it is introducing the seating section because "we know that sometimes all you need is some peace and quiet for a more pleasant journey with us."
AirAsia X's move follows similar efforts by rival Malaysian Airlines, which announced earlier this year that it will create a child-free zone on its Airbus A380s. Prior to that, Malaysia Airlines had moved to ban infants in the first-class sections of its jumbo jets.
News agency AFP writes "the cost of choosing a seat in the quiet zone will be the same as the (35 Malaysian ringgit or about $11.35) charged for picking specific seats or the (110 ringgit/$35.70) it costs to select a seat with extra legroom."
The Telegraph of London also picks up on the story, writing "the zone incorporates seven rows of seats towards the front of an Airbus A330, behind the airline's Premium FlatBed seats. AirAsia claims passengers will experience 'minimal noise' in the seats and soft lighting."
AirAsia X's Quiet Zone will be separated from the rest of coach, with lavatories, bulkheads and a galley providing a buffer between the "non-quiet" area of economy.
However, would-be customers should be aware of the fine print on AirAsia X's site, which notes the airline "reserves the right to seat a passenger with a guest under 12 at the Quiet Zone during situations deemed necessary for operational, safety or security reasons."
AirAsia X's flights operate mostly within southeast Asia and Australia.
The carrier had served European destinations such as London and Paris, but announced earlier this year that it would drop those routes because of rising jet fuel prices and weakening demand for air travel due. AirAsia X's decision also came amid the European Union's controversial plan to implement a carbon emissions scheme on airlines and as Britain contemplated additional passenger duty taxes.

Olympic swimming champion Amy Van Dyken-Rouen, who suffered traumatic spinal cord and brain injuries earlier this month, is smiling, talking, and trading her Arizona hospital bed for one in Colorado.
"I am now off to Denver, Colorado, to Craig Hospital to begin the next chapter in my life, doing some rehabilitation. So I will keep everyone updated on my Instagram and Twitter as always," Van Dyken-Rouen, 41, told NBC's Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie in a brief video on Wednesday's "Today" broadcast.
The six-time gold medalist has been keeping her Twitter and Instagram followers informed of her condition every step of the way. On Tuesday, she posted an Instagram photograph of the surgical incision on her back. "Healing fast! #PrayersAreWorking," she wrote in the caption.
U.S. & World
"I just want to thank you guys and everyone who watches the 'Today' show for all of your support, all of your prayers and your positive vibes. It's definitely helping," Van Dyken-Rouen said on "Today."
Van Dyken-Rouen suffered an ATV accident on June 6 that severed her spine and nearly ruptured her aorta. She has been in treatment at Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center in Arizona, but is transferring to Denver's Craig Hospital, which specializes in spinal-cord injuries, The Washington Post reported.
Before departing Scottsdale, Van Dyken-Rouen brought the balloons she was given to patients in the Intensive Care Unit. She gave her surgeon's daughter a special Hello Kitty balloon for the girl's birthday.
On Monday, Van Dyken-Rouen posted a photo to Instagram of her husband, former Denver Bronco's punter Tom Rouen, and her yellow labrador Kuma keeping her company in the hospital.
Van Dyken took home four Olympic gold medals in the 1996 Atlanta games, and two more at the Sydney games in 2000.

Cleft lip and palate are openings or splits in the upper lip or roof of the mouth (palate). A child can be born with a cleft lip, cleft palate, or both. Cleft lip and palate may be the only birth defects, or they may happen with other defects.
A cleft lip may be as mild as a notch of the lip. Or it may be as severe as a large opening from the lip to the nose.
A cleft palate may leave an opening that goes into the nasal cavity. Cleft palate is not as noticeable as cleft lip because it is inside the mouth. The cleft may:
Cleft lip and palate happen when a baby develops in the womb. Researchers don't know the exact cause of cleft lip and palate. It can be caused by genes passed on from parents, as well as environmental factors. Environmental factors include taking certain medicines during pregnancy, smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy, infections, and too little vitamin B and folic acid during pregnancy. Parents who have cleft lip, cleft palate, or both, or who have other kids with the problem are at an increased risk of having babies with the defect.
The symptoms of these problems can be seen during the first exam by your baby's doctor. How much the lip or palate differs from normal can vary. The symptoms can include:
A cleft lip and palate can be seen during the first exam by your baby's healthcare provider.
Both cleft lip and palate can be fixed with surgery.
Beyond the appearance of a cleft lip, other possible complications include:
Cleft lip and palate can't always be prevented. But there are things you can do to reduce the risk. They include:
You should consider genetic counseling if other members of your family have had cleft lip and palate.
Your baby's healthcare provider will help you figure out how to best care for your baby.
The main concern for your baby is good nutrition. Sucking is difficult because of the opening in the formed roof of the mouth. A baby with just a cleft lip usually does not have trouble feeding. To help with feeding, try the following:
The team approach is used for managing and fixing cleft lip and palate. Many healthcare providers may be involved in your baby's care. They may include:
Cleft lip is a split in the lip, and cleft palate is a split in the roof of the mouth.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

Darien sweeps Cheshire for Class LL volleyball championship
Recommended Video:
EAST HAVEN -- It had been three long years since the high school program that has come to define volleyball excellence in Connecticut last won a state title.
In 2010, Darien was swept by East Lyme in three sets, ending a perfect 15-0 run in final appearances. Last fall the Blue Wave failed to even reach the championship game, losing to Southington in the semifinals.
At other schools, this is nothing more, at best, than an asterisk.
At Darien, it was a drought.
"We knew we had to work hard to get back this year," said Kelly Kosnik, a three-year starter. "We had to get back."
The top-seeded Blue Wave returned to the doorstep and then, on Saturday night, smashed it down, rolling to a dominant 25-14, 25-18, 25-21 sweep of No. 2 Cheshire in the Class LL final to complete an undefeated season and return to the mantle it had grown accustomed to occupying.
"We really stuck together as a team," said Riley Sousa, another three-year starter, who was named the match's most valuable player after finishing with 7 kills, 13 service points and 3 aces. "We played aggressively and fought as a team."
There have been Darien teams with more natural talent, but few that have performed so commandingly with a championship on the line.
The Blue Wave (24-0) slowly built a big lead in the opening set, controlling the net, riding the steady setting of Kathleen Burke (23 assists, 6 service points) and digging up everything Cheshire's tall front row sent their way.
Darien held a 20-10 advantage, fended off a mini spurt by Cheshire (22-2) and closed out the game on a kill by Sousa.
"We just really wanted it and went all out," Sousa said.
Cheshire, which last reached the final in 2007, had defeated Fairfield Ludlowe in a hard-fought, five-set semifinal. It stayed close in the early part of the second set behind the net play of middle hitter Amanda Palladino.
Cheshire had a 10-9 lead before Sousa went to the service line and ran off six unanswered points. Brittany Osborn, one of the Blue Wave's unsung heroes on the night, had a key block, but a steady combination of constant pressure and steady composure wore down Cheshire, leading to a number of unforced errors.
After Sousa's run was ended, Osborn got service back by hitting off a Cheshire block and Kosnik (9 kills, 6 service points, 2 aces) added consecutive kills to make the score 19-13.
Cheshire got as close as 22-17 before Osborn stuffed Lisa Walle and the Blue Wave soon had a 2-0 lead.
The Blue Wave demonstrated their mettle in the closing set. Cheshire jumped out to a 10-5 lead after Palladino killed a weak return. The deficit was 12-6 when Darien stormed back to forge a 13-13 tie. Osborn had a kill in the sequence, but three points came on successive serve-receive errors.
Cheshire reeled off the next four points, prompting Darien coach Laurie LaRusso to call her second timeout.
The Blue Wave won 10 of the next 12 points, and closed out the match when a Cheshire block of Sousa sailed wide.
"We like to come from behind," Sousa said with a smile. "There were a couple of close calls. You stay focused on what you can control. It felt good to have the last kill. The whole game was an awesome feeling."
Sousa and Kosnik spent the night before their final high school volleyball match together, driving around, talking about almost anything other than the task at hand.
Though the prospect of graduating without a state title as starters may have lingered, the duo led an effort that was fashioned not by the conservative approach of playing not to lose, but by going all out.
"This feels so good," Sousa said. "It's the best feeling in the world."

Today I had a presentation introducing the new website that I am working on for a Healthcare services organization. The presentation went well primarily due to the input by one of my new favorite people, Ann. She knows that I am a bit of a techie, so she mentioned an invention created Jack Zylkin, who is her daughters boyfriend. As a person that is so involved with technology and also has an ongoing and serious love affair with tech gadgets, I must say I was intrigued with the USB typewriter.
Say What? Yup, Typewriter meets USB meets iPad! What's so awesome about this is that it provides the opportunity to repurpose the old back in the day typewriters but with a new technology spin. As a person that remembers the typewriter days I just felt a need to find out more about this super cool invention. The techie hipster in me just had to find out more!
This kind of repurposed technology may not appeal to a huge mainstream "camp out in the elements for 5 days for the next techie gadget" demographic BUT I see it as a really cool techie piece that is extremely unique and quite frankly very cool. Additionally it offers a bit of nostalgia to those that actually remember old school typewriters. Ultimately super cool and I would definitely LOVE to grab one of these for me or as a holiday gift. What do you think?

White Spots in the Paint
I am doing mass-painting of car bumpers made of PP resin material using a robot.
I am doing mass-painting of car bumpers made of PP resin material using a robot. The paint I'm using is high-solids. The problem is when the robot sprays the primer, I get a few white spots on the surface. Under microscopic view, they looks like lumps in the primer itself. These lumps cannot be felt feel with the finger. But when oversprayed with topcoat, the white spot seem to cause what looks like dust on the surface. After clearcoating, the spots sometimes look like fisheyes. Can you suggest what I should do to eliminate the white spots? I. S.
Anything that does not belong in or on a paint film is a contaminant. Contaminants can be present in the paint itself, come from the painting equipment or be drawn into the paint spray booth with the make-up air. Contaminants in the paint can be dirt or other foreign materials, pigment agglomerates or resin gel particles. These can be eliminated from the paint by filtering when filling the painting equipment reservoirs and by using in-line filters in the painting equipment. In air atomized painting equipment, contaminants can also come from the compressed air. These can be removed by filters and traps in the air lines.
Airborne contaminants in the factory air can be drawn into spray booths and settle on the surface of painted parts. These can be eliminated by filtering spray booth make-up air. It is well known that airborne particles can travel long distances in factory air. Other sources of contaminants include baking ovens, conveyor chains, hangers and hooks. Conveyor chains must be cleaned. When hooks and hangers are cleaned in burn-off ovens, the powdery residue, if not completely removed, can fall onto the surface of painted parts. I recommend you determine the exact composition of the white spots and then find their source so they can be eliminated.

Welcome to The Moenkopi Developers Corporation
The Upper Village of Moenkopi is the westernmost village of the twelve villages that comprise the Hopi Tribe across First, Second, and Third Mesas. Our village is situated at the western gateway to Hopi on Third Mesa and our community adjoins the Navajo community of Tuba City.
Moenkopi Developers Corporation, Inc. (MDC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, was established with a mission of economic development for the Upper Village of Moenkopi (UVM). MDC's mission is to create jobs for the Hopi people and to create revenue for the Upper Village government to enhance social, education, and health & safety services to its residents. The completed economic development projects are the most substantial endeavor ever undertaken as a commercial enterprise by any Hopi entity or village. The projects entailed visioning by the past village elders as a first step, then understanding the prophecies that guided the elders, then acting on plans to actualize a 'road to economic reality' by the Upper Village of Moenkopi and the MDC Board of Directors. MDC has achieved a $25 million capital investment on behalf of their village members and have created over 125 jobs.
MDC Board Chairman Verrin Kewenvoyouma says:
"The development that we have achieved is the fulfillment of the vision of our village elders and is the result of many years of hard work. It is a fact that this project never would have been built in a mainstream community – simply because there is very little financial return and every dollar is reinvested in our community...the return to our village and to Hopi is the creation of jobs. Without grant funding from a number of sources and the dedicated efforts of village members, the facilities and community infrastructure that have been developed never would have been achieved. We have created over 125 jobs and it is our goal to continue development to create more jobs and much needed quality housing for our people because we know that the creation of jobs and housing on Hopi land translates directly into preservation of culture, language, religion and family."
From left to right: Upper Moenkopi Village Governor Sam Shingoitewa, AOT Tribal Tourism Manager Dawn Melvin, MDC General Manager Randall Wolff, Frances Quotskuyva, Board Member Alan Numkena, Governor Jan Brewer, Board Member Linda Honahni, MDC President Wilfred Moore, Artist Darlene James, Arts Trail Director James Surveyor, AOT Director Sherry Henry.
Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer recognized the Moenkopi Developers Corporation at the state capital for their efforts in building economic opportunity for Hopi. MDC has been recognized previously for the development of the Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites, the first hotel built on Hopi land in over 50 years. The hotel promotes activities that connect visitors with cultural activities in all of Hopi through the website www.ExperienceHopi.com.
With the assistance of funding from the Arizona Commerce Authority, MDC created the Hopi Arts Trail, a cooperative marketing effort for galleries, artists, and guides in Hopi villages across the Hopi reservation. The Arts Trail won the Governor's Award for Cooperative Marketing Best Practices at the annual Governor's Conference for Tourism which was held in Tucson in August. Hopi Arts Trail artists Frances Quotskuyva and Darlene James as well as the Director of the Office of Tourism, Sherry Henry, joined the Moenkopi Board at the capital for special recognition by Governor Brewer. Frances, who is a skilled painter from Third Mesa, and Darlene, who is a First Mesa potter, presented the Governor with original works of art and an invitation to visit the Hopi Arts Trail to meet artists and tour the galleries in the Hopi villages.

NC election law challenge now argues black, Latino impact
Civil rights groups, churches and voters suing over North Carolina's elections overhaul law now formally allege the changes will disproportionately affect Latino voters as well as black citizens.
The state conference of the NAACP and others this week filed another amended lawsuit that contends Hispanic residents in the state will find it more difficult to vote under the law, too, violating their rights. The law will require photo identification to vote in person, cuts the number of days of early voting and ends same-day registration during early voting.
The litigation also was amended to address a now-defunct program that allowed teens to "pre-register" to vote.
The lawsuit is among four filed last year challenging parts of the law. A trial on three of them won't occur until 2015.

Wastewater is a common designation for any water that in one or another way has been affected in quality by human influence.
Wastewater is a common designation for any water that in one or another way has been affected in quality by human influence and which is transported through a combined or separate sewer system.
Wastewater contains a broad spectrum of waste of organic or inorganic origin that can be discharged from different sources. These sources can be e.g. domestic residences, commercial properties, industry, agriculture as well as surface run-off and infiltrated water in the sewer system. These different sources are commonly divided into three categories:
Domestic wastewater
Water which is contaminated by use and normally discharged from WC, showers, baths, bidets, wash basins, sinks and floor gullies.
Trade effluent
Wastewater discharge resulting wholly or in part from any industrial or commercial activity.
Surface water
Water from precipitation which as not seeped into the ground and which is discharged to the drain or sewer system directly form the ground or from exterior building surfaces
The terms black and grey water is sometimes also used to describe wastewater. The term black water describes wastewater which contains faecal matter and urine. Wastewater without the content of faecal matter or urine is on the other hand referred to as grey water. Grey water comprises 50-80% of residential wastewater
Wastewater encompasses a wide range of potential contaminants of inorganic or organic origin. Below is a partial list of wastewater constituents:
- Bacteria, viruses, prions and parasitic worms.
- Organic particles such as faeces, hairs, food, vomit, paper fibres, plant material, humus, etc.
- Soluble organic material such as urea, fruit sugars, soluble proteins , pharmaceuticals etc.
- Inorganic particles such as sand, grit, metal particles, ceramics, etc.
- Soluble inorganic material such as ammonia, road-salt, sea-salt, hydrogen sulphide, heavy metals etc.
- Macro-solids such as sanitary napkins, nappies/diapers, condoms, needles, children's toys, dead pets etc.
- Gases such as hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, methane, etc.
- Emulsions such as paints, adhesives, mayonnaise, hair colorants, emulsified oils, etc.
- Toxins such as pesticides, poisons, herbicides, etc.

20 Bookish Benches and Chairs: Time to Sit with a Good Book
I've posted before about how I love the upcycling and repurposing of old books. I understand how some people feel taken aback or even hurt when they see books turned into art, or furniture, or decor, but the reality is that those books, once decided they are no longer of value for their original purpose, would be going to live on a farm, where they would have plenty of room to chase rabbits and roll in the clover.
…actually, they would be pulped.
Finding new uses for books saves them from a fate in which they are gone forever to the world, in any recognizable form. These new uses, when they preserve the book in whole or part of its original form, constitute a positive to me. It celebrates books and recognizes that those of us who are passionate about books want to have them around us, and admire their form, shape, and object beauty as much as the ideas and words inside.
I also tend to associate sitting with reading. If I am sitting on a cloth and metal chair in the dentist's waiting room, a molded plastic seat in an airport, or my own lumpy, squashy couch at home, chances are, there is a book in my hand. So I feel this list of 20 bookish seats is all too beautiful and appropriate. There are book benches, book chairs, and I even saw a few book beds – all kinds of book furniture. Some are made from books, some are a decorative homage to books, and some are simply designed as pieces to house books, but all celebrate the love of reading. Enjoy!

Without mandate, few local schools have carbon monoxide detectors
Wisconsin law requires them in homes but not schools or large day cares
MADISON, Wis. — Only one out of every five Dane County school districts has carbon monoxide detectors in its buildings, a WISC-TV investigation revealed.
Wisconsin law doesn't require the devices in schools, despite a requirement that homeowners maintain one on every level of their homes. The state also doesn't mandate the alarms in larger day care centers, although providers in single-family and two-family homes are covered under current law.
States' laws have come under scrutiny after potentially lethal levels of carbon monoxide at an Atlanta elementary school that didn't have alarms sent 50 people to the hospital and led to the evacuation of 500 others. Georgia also doesn't require detectors in schools.
"Like many codes, whether it's fire codes or building codes, they come out of tragedy," said Ed Ruckriegel, Madison's fire marshal. "I see the carbon monoxide alarms as important as smoke alarms, because it's one of those things that occurs when people aren't aware of it."
The colorless, odorless threat, often called "the silent killer," sickens Wisconsinites year after year. On Madison's near west side, six people were transported to hospitals after a carbon monoxide evacuation of Trinity United Methodist Church in 2009.
The next year, church members went to the state Capitol to advocate for a law that would require the devices in homes and where people gather during the day. Four alarms installed after the first scare caught a problem with the church's old gas stove a few months later before it sickened anyone, said Jerry Tifft, chairman of the church's board of trustees.
"They are the difference between life and death," said Tifft, who's been a church member since 1955. "I think we had a little connection here that probably was looking out for us that day."
State legislators passed a law that went into effect in 2011, closing a loophole and mandating carbon monoxide detectors in buildings where people sleep. About 72 percent of the incidents happen in single-family homes, said Rep. Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh.
But neither school districts nor the fire prevention community pushed to extend the law to schools then, and there's no discussion of it now, Hintz said.
"You don't want to fly blind of these things (as a legislature)," he said. "If it's something that we should look at, then I'm going to listen to them. We know we're not going to be able to do everything, and there's a cost to everything."
The state Department of Public Instruction was also not aware of any effort to require detectors in schools, said Patrick Gasper, a spokesman for the agency.
In Dane County, McFarland, Mount Horeb and Cambridge facilities managers said all of their school buildings have carbon monoxide detectors, although not all had them near every gas-powered appliance.
Every other district in the county, plus Janesville and Beloit in Rock County, does not have the alarms in their schools, and no administrators said they planned to install them. Oregon School District administrators didn't return multiple phone calls seeking comment.
While state law doesn't mandate that large day care facilities install the devices, five out of the six Madison providers that WISC-TV randomly contacted had them.
None of the providers or school district administrators said they had ever gone off.
Some of the facilities managers that didn't have carbon monoxide detectors said their buildings' heating systems were advanced and that the chance of a leak was minimal. Others cited the cost associated with installing the alarms.
"To say, 'We need to install these big systems" — they already exist," Ruckriegel said. "A lot of those buildings already have alarm systems, so it would not be great cost to add a carbon monoxide detector to the fire alarm system."
School administrators across the state may be preoccupied with how to pay for school security measures after the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, and carbon monoxide detectors may not be top of mind, Hintz said.
"I know school districts around the state are trying to wonder, 'Well, how do I balance demands from parents to keep kids safe with the cost restrictions the legislature has imposed on districts?'" he said.
Wisconsin became the 25th state to require carbon monoxide detectors in people's homes. Only two states, Connecticut and Maryland, require them in schools.
Two others, Texas and Rhode Island, mandate them in child day care facilities, according to data provided by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear fellow pen nutters,
Quite a few datacentres were plagued today with outages due to problems with backbone connections to the internet, or rather, the equipment connecting the datacentres with the backbone. This outage started around 11:10 UTC / 07:10 EDT this morning.
Unfortunately FPN appeared to be hosted in one of the data centres which were affected. It also appears that things are fixed now, but we have been told that there still may be some intermittent problems.
Obviously there is very little we can do about this, but bear it and grin . At least we still have our fountain pens and notebooks to go back to, unlike many people who were looking for their favourite websites in vain - literally thousands of websites were down.
Anyway, we're back, and let's just enjoy again!
Warm regards,
The FPN Admin and Moderator Team

He mainly logs in Steven Adams Jersey to examine sporting activities. Guillermo asked that his very last name be withheld he worries about his relatives. They even now reside in Venezuela.

Because of a photo. Because they might believe that I am able to fork out a ransom of a large number of bucks." For lots of Venezuelans, the relationship with social media marketing is really a challenging a single. On the one hand, it's a precious resource of data inside a state that censors all sorts of traditional news media. It could be a lifeline for all those seeking a sistance, plus a form of protest the only technique to converse fact to electric power.

Guillermo suggests his good friends residing abroad are also extremely mindful with social media. For him, social networking is more perilous than it truly is well worth. But for Javier Rojo in Caracas, it really is a lifeline. He is a pharmacist inside a nation with serious drugs shortages. "There are shortages of every thing," he claims. "Insulin is particularly nece https://www.thunderedges.com/Gary-Payton-Jersey sary." Rojo employs the pharmacy's Twitter account to announce what it doesn't have medicines folks desperately will need. For him, social media is truly a subject of lifetime and lo s of life. In a single new article, he retweets a diabetic who was urgently searching for insulin: "We haven't experienced insulin for more than a month."

Due to the fact Rojo took above the pharmacy's Twitter account in February, it has grown from le s than 100 followers to just about thirty,000.

Operating From Food stuff, Drugs And Patience In Venezuela On the other stop on the line, the individual responded: "OK, I'll have to eliminate myself." Then the individual hung up. Rojo says that call devastated him, and determined him to double down within the pharmacy's Twitter account, which he had lately commenced. Eric Farnsworth, a Venezuela profe sional, says social media marketing interaction is significant during the state. "In some ways social media has actually been a lifeline for common Venezuelan citizens who will not have use of the conventional newspapers or radio or television that they were accustomed to when Venezuela was a democracy," he claims.

Smartphone PSA from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo.
The Setup
Sometimes you just need a quickie project to stay sharp. That's what this was. A few weeks ago, my bud and long time Internet boyfriend Matt Jeppsen announced:
"Hey, I'm coming to town and I'll have these new Schneider Xenon lenses with me. Want to shoot something?"
I said, "Sure!"
And then proceeded to pitch an idea that involved 20 actors, a closed street, choreography, a 20-ft panda bear puppet, and an f14 flyover.
Jeppsen replied, "How about something we can shoot in half a day? We're on vacation after all."
I assume this response was due to his hatred of pandas (true, ask him), but I felt he had a point. I took the elaborate concept, boiled it down to the essential idea, and came up with this. PhoneGuy vs sidewalk.
I must admit there have been times I've wanted to slap the phone out of someone's hand while they meandered across my path on the sidewalk. Dude, just, duuuude, put it down for like, thirty seconds while you walk from the gym to your car. I bemoan these slow-walking iDolts and their enslavement to The Cloud, and then, without the faintest whiff of irony, I'm on my phone tweeting about it. So yeah, this guy is me. Consider this spot a note-to-self. Apparently, this is an actual public safety issue and distracted-pedestrian injuries are on the rise. Smart phones, dumb people.
Director's Commentary
The great thing about slapstick is that even when you know it's coming, it's still kinda funny. When you see someone hurt themselves those little mirror neurons in your brain fire and scream, "OMG, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU! TICKLE TICKLE!" Slapstick seemed like an easy way to make this point and fit within our requirement of being done shooting by lunch.
We shot everything on steadicam. Well, a janky old Glidecam V8 actually. Camera movement was important for the "pole reveal" moment and was obvious for the other walking shots. For the pole I got some 1″ pipe insulator from Ace Hardware and spray painted it silver. This made it easier possible for our actor (Adam) to give the pole a good whack with his face. In his spare time, Adam drops massive waterfalls in his kayak so walking into a pole foamie was a no brainer for him (or maybe that's the other way around, haha).
We were shooting geurilla style and didn't have resources to support the army that comes along with massive HMI lighting. So a few days before the shoot, I wandered around the city looking for places where the sun bounced off glass high-rises and made pools of light along the sidewalk. Found one. Bingo. 18k of beautiful, diffused-but-sharp key light. I'm seriously obsessed with this kind of city light now. It happens all throughout the day here in downtown Portland. Only challenge is you have to shoot your scene before sun moves on and drags your light with it. And it moves pretty fast in the summer.
For the filmmaker, the moral of this story is: shoot MORE of the stuff you want to get hired for. I want to shoot more commercials like this and now instead of telling an agency what I can do, I can SHOW them. Show, don't tell. The end. Thanks for watching/reading.
(Also thanks to Isaac Koval, and Liam Gillies for helping out, Adam Chechire Edwards for face smashing, Matt Jeppsen the DP, and Andy Askren and Kallie Baker for their brainstorming. )

- 1 cup finely chopped unpeeled English hothouse cucumber
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons prepared white horseradish
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Fish cakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for frying fish cakes
- 3 medium carrots, peeled, finely chopped
- 1 2/3 cups finely chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted matzo meal
- 1 3/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 18 ounces skinless whitefish fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 9 ounce skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh Italian parsley sprigs
Recipe Preparation
Stir cucumber, mayonnaise, horseradish, parsley, and chives in medium bowl to blend. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
Fish cakes
Line large rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and leeks. Sauté until soft but not brown, about 15 minutes. Cool in skillet.
Beat eggs, matzo meal, coarse salt, and white pepper in large bowl to blend. Stir in carrot mixture. Place whitefish and salmon cubes in processor. Using on/off turns, chop fish to coarse paste (small pieces of fish will remain). Stir fish into matzo meal mixture.
Using wet hands and about 1/3 cup for each, shape fish mixture into sixteen 1/2-inch-thick cakes. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic and chill.
Add enough oil to 2 heavy large skillets to coat bottom. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add 8 fish cakes to each skillet. Sauté until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Transfer to another baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven 10 minutes.
Arrange 2 fish cakes on each plate. Spoon sauce over or alongside. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
A Chardonnay would be delicious with the haroseth and the salmon and whitefish cakes. We like the apple, pear, and vanilla notes of the Baron Herzog 2006 Chardonnay from Herzog Wine Cellars on California's Central Coast. It's a great kosher wine and a good value at $13.

Gandalf accosts Saruman in his tower, with the rest of the group hanging on behind him. He has asked the Ents to make themselves scarce. Orthanc (supposed to be 500 feet high) shows only tiny signs of Ent damage. Gandalf, Aragorn, Theoden, Eomer, and Gimli climb to the tower landing, but Merry and Pippin stay on the first step. Gandalf summons Saruman, but at first Wormtongue answers. Upon further demand, Saruman comes to the railing and tries to enchant Theoden with his voice, but Gimli breaks the spell. Saruman tries again and this time Eomer sees through it. Once again he tries, and this time Theoden himself refuses him. Saruman rages at him and then tries to ensnare Gandalf, who laughs at him, then offers to let him leave free as long as Saruman surrenders his staff and the key to Orthanc. Saruman turns away in a huff but is commanded back by Gandalf's own enchantment. Gandalf reveals that he is now the head of the Council and casts Saruman out from it, breaking his staff.
Wormtongue tosses a glass ball down at Gandalf, but it misses and rolls away. Pippin retrieves it and finds it fascinating. After only a moment, Gandalf quickly takes it from him and hides it. The group leave the tower. At the gate, Treebeard approaches and Gandalf introduces Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn to him. Gandalf extracts a promise from Treebeard to watch that Saruman does not leave Isengard, and recommends flooding the place repeatedly.
1. That's a mighty tall tower! How would Saruman have built it?
2. Why are Merry and Pippin left on the bottom step?
3. Did Saruman make the right choice for himself about Gandalf's offer?

FINALLY. Yes, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y.
The first draft of the third Find Me book is done. On account of bouncing around a lot in the plot, and using a new writing software program (Scrivener), editing is going to be rough, I tell ya. But, I've made it!
My Muse owes me some solid nights of sleep, that's for sure. And maybe some wine. I do have wine. I even managed to get it ready in the fridge. But for now, sleep. Preferably a FULL six hours of it.
Riley, you had a roller coaster ride in this book. This is a story I can't wait for your readers to experience. Now…go away until tomorrow and let me sleep.

After thoroughly enjoying A Man Called Ove (both book and movie) I was curious about how other books by the same author would be. Bear Town is a beautifully written story about a small town that is absolutely consumed by hockey. Everything and everyone is affected, even those who don't play, and it is a very serious business–not just a game. It may be all about winning, but it is also about moral choices, love, loyalty and the strength and fragility of the human spirit. Though a bit slow in pace at times, Backman's character development is excellent and the writing top-notch. The opening line is breathtaking and haunts the whole reading of the book. I will definitely be reading more by this author.
All the hopes and dreams of the town rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys when the junior hockey team makes it to the national championships. The semi-final match is a catalyst for a violent act that leaves a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. This is a very different novel than Ove which speaks well for the author whose skill as a writer is multi-faceted.
