Radial Engineering Bones R800-7115 Twin City A-B-Y FootswitchThe Bones Twin-City footswitch from Radial Engineering is an active ABY switcher and buffer that enables you to connect any two amps and drive them simultaneously without noise, loss of gain, and without degrading your natural guitar tone. This is accomplished with Radial's highly acclaimed buffering technology and the same Drag Control load correction circuitry as used in the award-winning Radial JD7 Injector. The 'set and' forget Drag Control lets you compensate for cable signal loss and introduce the perfect amount of loading to replicate the way your guitar and amp interact.To eliminate hum and buzz from ground loops, the Twin-City is equipped with an isolation transformer on output B. This is augmented with a ground lift switch and 180° polarity reverse switch that ensures both amplifiers play in phase while noise is reduced to an absolute minimum even when using older vintage amps that are generally more prone to noise. As a buffer, the Twin-City footswitch lowers the impedance and susceptibility to noise, making it the ideal signal driver for large stages when using long cable runs.Like all Radial products, the Bones are constructed from heavy 14 gauge steel for greater durability and added 'stay put' when kicked around on a busy stage. For even greater durability, the Twin-City footswitch employs Radial's own EIS—Electronic Impulse Switching—for outstanding performance without the challenges of mechanical switches. Bright, easy to see LEDs deliver on-stage switching cues so you know exactly where you are at all times.As most players employ pedalboards, the Radial Twin-City features standard 'Boss style' 9V powering that will adapt to most multi-pedal power supplies. The ultra compact design with top mounted output and DC connections allow effect pedals to be placed close together for those wishing maximum pedalboard density.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Fall 2010 (ARTH and ENGL)
Our IHRC project took the form of a fall 2010 Integrated Semester composed of two graduate seminars in Art History and English. Thirteen students from English, Art History, and the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture met twice weekly for an interdisciplinary study of the ways in which art and literature shaped political thought and action in the Atlantic world during the American Revolutionary period, from the taxation crises of the 1760s and 1770s through war with Great Britain and the French and Haitian Revolutions. The American Revolution challenged British North Americans to reassess many of their fundamental assumptions about their world, including the viability of their political institutions, the nature of social relations, and their cultural and aesthetic values. Students investigated such issues by focusing on the intersections of literature, the arts, and political culture. A major component of the Integrated Semester was the study of original texts and works of art at institutions rich in the material culture of the American Revolution. Students undertook field trips to the Library Company of Philadelphia, the University of Delaware's University Museums, and Winterthur Museum. Public talks also formed an important part of the course. Three esteemed scholars visited campus for public lectures and classroom workshops with students. The students also presented short public talks based upon their original research at an in-house symposium, "New Directions in Cultural Studies of the American Revolutionary Era."
Wendy Bellion is associate professor of American art history at the University of Delaware, where she also serves on the faculties of the Center for Material Culture Studies and the UD-Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University and is the recipient of awards and fellowships from organizations including the American Antiquarian Society, the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture. She has published widely on the subject of artist Charles Willson Peale and is author of the book, Citizen Spectator: Art, Illusion, and Visual Perception in Early National America (The University of North Carolina Press, 2011). Currently she is also co-editing a special issue of Winterthur Portfolio that explores the circum-Atlantic movements of colonial objects. She is also at work on a new book project entitled, The Space of Iconoclasm: New York and American Historical Memory.
Edward Larkin is Associate Professor of English at the University of Delaware, where he has taught for the past five years. He is the author of Thomas Paine and the Literature of Revolution (Cambridge UP, 2005) and the editor of the Broadview edition of Paine's Common Sense (2004). He has published a number of essays and reviews in major journals including Early American Literature, American Literary History, Diaspora, Modern Intellectual History, Novel: A Forum on Fiction and The Arizona Quarterly. Larkin received his Ph.D. in English from Stanford University in 1999 and spent the first part of his career at the University of Richmond in Virginia. Larkin is currently the Director of Graduate Studies in English, and this summer he co-lead, with Philip Gould (Brown University) the American Antiquarian Society's (AAS) Summer Seminar in the History of the Book. Larkin has been the recipient of a number of grants including an NEH Fellowship at the AAS in 2006 as well as grants from the Library Company of Philadelphia and the American Philosophical Society. He is currently at work on a study of the way early American loyalists shaped the literature and politics of the US in important and largely overlooked ways.

New Employee Orientation
Do I got stories?
Fuck, do I ever.
OK, here's one that'll let you know what you're in for. So each kid's profile name has a number attached to it, right? Like James-12? You probably figured out we've been through eleven so far. Yup. Freaked me out too at first, but it's not like they all died. I mean, some of them died. Maybe half. I don't exactly know. But sometimes the parents change their minds, or the kid goes to bed ten years old one night and wakes up twenty-five, or sometimes they just…disappear. Spooooky, right?
You have no idea.
Remember that blackout that happened about three months ago? Knocked out half the Midwest? No, sorry, 'course you don't. So about three months ago, Rich—he was one of our Day Nannies who pulled yard duty that week—gets it into his head that the kids should learn how to play catch.
And these kids…it's charitable to say that they are not athletes. Like, they can tell you how much change is in your pockets, and they make your fillings vibrate when they walk by, and they can move Scrabble tiles with their minds, so they don't have a lot of actual use for hand-eye coordination.
No one but the Nannies thinks of them as real kids, especially not the higher-ups. Like, I got suspended for a week after I showed some ZooBooks to John-13 and he wouldn't shut up about the Aquarium and the sea lions and the dolphins and on and on. Dave got replaced after he smuggled in an old turntable and a shitload of records with the incoming laundry—he thought it might work since it's mostly analog, unlike all the iPods and laptops the kids have fried just by being themselves. I'm not allowed to sing around them, or whistle, or anything. It sucks.
I mean, you maintain a healthy respect, you know what they're capable of, but they're still little kids. They're just cute little kids. Unless they're, you know, manifesting ectoplasm or some shit. Probably easier to keep them compliant when they don't know what they're missing.
So anyhow, this moron Rich pulls out this a goddamn NERF football he brought in. Safety first, right? And he somehow gets his kids in a circle—one's in a wheelchair, one's got leg braces, the other two, James-3 and John-13, are more or less standing on their own power—and he starts this game going. Like that scene, you know, from "Awakenings?" Robin Williams movie? And that scene where he gets those people in wheelchairs playing coma-catch in a circle? Priceless. It's a good movie, sad, but that part makes me laugh my ass off. Yeah, I know you think it's funny.
Anyway, these kids have a groove going until Rich decides to up the difficulty level, and he throws this perfect spiral pass to James-3 who takes it right in the face. It knocks him off his pins and onto his ass, and everyone in the yard just stops breathing because it's our job to keep these kids HAPPY with two capital "P"s—for "Piss-your-Pants if they freak out."
And James-3 FREAKS THE FUCK OUT. He's lying on his back in the dirt, kicking and flailing, but totally silent. There's this weird smell, like ozone, and James stops spazzing and sits up and just starts to scream like a normal kid, but under it we hear this hum—like the transformer for a model train set warming up, right?
And we're covering our ears and grinding our teeth waiting for it to stop when James starts to collapse. Like an accordion, or like a poster getting pushed backward into a hole in the wall. He backs into the empty air like a black hole special-effect from the movies. Like someone is folding him up a little at a time and pulling him through an opening we can't see. And the noise gets higher and louder the smaller he gets, until all that's left is his mouth hanging in the air, and it opens backward over itself, turns inside out and twists up like a Red Vine and fucking vanishes.
Right then, cities from Bismarck to Evanston go dark as Antarctica's asshole for, like, ten minutes, but ten minutes is forever when you're on the new grid, you know? People notice that shit. And two days later we got James-4. I don't know if they got the other James back from wherever he went, or if they Built James-4, or what, but here's the thing: it's the same kid, same face, same everything, except James-4 is a girl. Yup. So is James-12, in case you hadn't noticed. They keep the kids' hair pretty short.
Anyhow, Rich got reassigned and I inherited his play group. We play chess, mostly. It sucks. None of the kids talk much about the ones that disappear. But they want to. They ask questions. I don't know what to tell them.
You look good. I mean, it's basically my face, so I'm biased. But no black eye, no broken nose. You're definitely taking this better than I did.
What happened? Mom always said not to play ball in the house. Brady Bunch. Never mind. Goddammit. It'll come to you eventually. Things are still cooking up there, cable guy's still doing his thing. Ye olde Comcast-style punctuality.
I'mma give you the short version. IV's kicking into high gear, gonna get chatty. Chatty-er. Blah. So I wake up in my funerals-and-weddings suit, the one I wore to Dad's funeral. The one you're wearing now. The one I thought I was gonna be buried in after I got the biopsy results. I reach to rub my eyes and my arms are restrained, then I see all those faces on the other side of the glass and I think I'm in a fucking euthanasia booth, goddamn clinic gave up my name and my number got pulled out of the big hat in Washington and I'm gonna die, right here.
Meanwhile they're trying to stand me up, get me up and moving and my knees go out from under me. And this tech, nicest guy you could hope to meet who happens to be metal and silicone from the waist down, grabs my arm to keep me from falling and I just punch him in the mouth. Cue dogpile. I take a walkie in the face when the fat one lands on me. Bit him in the arm and he had to get a tetanus shot and the Rabies III series and if you don't like needles, try seventy-five of them in two weeks. We are not friendly, he and I. Him and me. Us.
Okay. First of all? The orientation video is bullshit. Forget the pictures they showed you—those yearbook pictures, with everyone smiling like real people, even the kids? Yeah, you're never gonna meet those kids. Stock photo models.
The kids are definitely cute enough when you meet them, but no one can agree on what they actually look like, so someone goes to Shutterstock and collects a generic handful of white kids, a generic handful of brown kids, and a generic Asian boy and girl. Close enough for government work. Ha! What a funny guy we are.
Yeah, when we started they tried a zillion ways to document the process. Knocked the kids out, tried taking each picture six different times, put the kids in groups of three or less so they wouldn't fog the film. Yup, actual film. Then they scan the negatives and put it together in Photoshop. Looked terrible. You can't use a digital camera on the kids; electronics go all bugshit. Security cameras were a bust; nothing but snow and local television signals and shit that happened in the same spot but fifty years ago or ten minutes in the future.
Shit was surreal. Whatever that even means anymore. After a few months here you'll pretty much abandon any concept of "reality" outside of the whole "consensual hallucination" whatchama-thing. I mean, who knows what anything really looks like? Like, our eyes are just crappy lens-bags made out of meat and water and blood and stuff hooked up to bundles of nerve endings with poorer conductivity than aluminum. It's like that old question: does this color look the same to you as it does to me? Maybe my red is your green and so on.
Anyhow, what I'm saying is don't freak when you see them in person. When you see what John-16 looks like when he's doing his thing? Yeesh. You saw them on the monitors, right? The only time cameras work is if they're dead or sleeping. No, they're not dead, you asshole. Just in a medically-induced coma. Even when they're not hooked up to the drips they sleep, like, twenty hours a day. But they're still working hard, trust me, somewhere inside their little bio-engineered monkey skulls.
We've never gotten this far before, apparently. I helped make this happen. We've always been good with kids. That's why we're still here. That's why they Built you. In case I can't deliver. You're the next me. Makes a guy feel really special, right? Unique. Or "we"-nique. Get it?
Yeah, I know. Too soon.
Blah blah blah, I know. You wanna know more about the kids—everyone wants to know more about the kids, where they came from, what they do.
Short answer: I don't know. I mean, if you look at them one at a time it's nothing special, nothing that makes that much sense even. You're thinking X-Men, mutant kids with powers, but that's nowhere close to the real deal. These kids haven't got big flashy abilities, they just have this mix of genes and whatnot that kind of strains the fabric of stuff when you bring them together. I don't one hundred percent get it, but that's how they like it. They keep the Nannies out of the loop. They want us clever, but not smart. Kind, but not loving. No attachments, no living relatives—duh, top-secret blah blah. But also because the kids…once you get near them, they can use what you know. In crazy-ass ways.
Don't stress out over it; it takes a lot of them, not just one or two. I mean, two is enough, trust me, but it takes all twelve to make the big stuff happen. You get why it took this long for anyone to figure out how it all works, because there were never enough of them in one place for things to get truly weird.
But then all the EuGen people came out of hiding with their creepy made-to-order kids and met up with those StormWatch assholes at this protest over cloned organs. Weather starts to turn, electronics act up, everyone thinks, "solar flares" or whatever. No big, right? And then this fucking kid, this bike messenger with a 185 IQ and an aggressive brain tumor sets off an "explosive device." WHAM. Helicopters, shaky cam cell videos, media blackout, official version of events. The rest is history, as they say.
Everyone thinks that footage was censored, but let me reassure you that no one, and I mean no one, has a recording of that shit. All anyone saw was the aftermath. Dust everywhere, bits raining down like the YouTube vid of those idiots who blew up that beached whale. Except the bits used to be people. The smoke clears and there's twelve little kids lying in the middle of a crater full of…parts.
But the kids weren't dead. And you know what the explosive device was determined to be? An M-80. A jumped-up fucking firecracker. An M-80 can pulverize your hand, blow up a toilet or a trash can. It can't make a fifty-yard hole in the ground filled with two hundred or so former protestors. Cue investigation. Cue quarantine and closed-door meetings and a fuckton of money changing hands. The rest is classified.
Wanna know what really happened? I can tell you. I was there. Also, in about forty-eight hours you'll remember enough of it that you'll be wanting some answers.
Nothing happened. Like, NOTHING happened to us. Nothingness happened. Everything was there and then it wasn't, like I dropped into a sensory deprivation tank except no background noise, no heartbeat, no whooshing blood in my ears. No reference points I could use to locate myself in space or time except this vague sense of "just happened." All I could do was hang on to this last bit of fading memory. Like everything I had ever been was just this warm me-shaped divot in a mattress and it was cooling, filling back in, and then I would be gone.
Then the bomb went off. And next thing I know I'm punching nurses and biting guards and saving the world. Theoretically.
Wanna hear something awful? You know that poor sponge-brain who bombed the protest? I hear there was just about enough of him left to make into a burger. They called the meat "Ground Zero."
I said it was awful.
Yeah, I know. Too soon.
So, how they paying you? Yeah, "with money," ha ha, fuck off. I mean, how much? Like, are we on the same pay scale, or do you get less because…you know what I'm saying. Or do you get more? Did they…fix things in you or put stuff in you that make you worth more than me?
Fair enough. Who would have told you, why would they have told you? We're their little sugar babies, don't know who's paying, don't care. It feels military, but what doesn't these days? And when you get right down to it, who cares? There's no check or anything, no paper that says money changed hands, but I'm taken care of. There's an account. And the apartment. And the fridge is always full, and the closet, and I've got the Mark, and that works in the commissary for pretty much anything else I need. And I can walk around anywhere on the grounds without having to know exactly how many people are watching me. Which makes a difference after a lifetime of eyes on you all day, soldiers and security guards everywhere you go, and you see them and the faces they make when they watch you do the littlest thing, like they can't help being disgusted or disappointed, or both. So that's nice. Different. Weird but good.
But what they pay to keep me is nothing on the money they shell out on the Creche. You're gonna freak when you see it from the inside. That's where they keep the kids, the Built ones and the ones that just happen. That's where you're headed. It'll blow your mind. Literally? Yeah, that happened once. Bad day at the office.
You'll start out as a Day Nanny. They'll give you your group assignment—four kids, one you, three dozen sets of eyes on you twenty-four seven, three-sixty-five. Nine days out of ten it's the easiest work you could hope for. No fighting, no jealousy, nothing. These kids belong together. They fit together. Like, everything they do, they do as a group. They don't all go to the restroom at the same time like girlfriends or anything, it's just like…everything they do is a team effort. You watch them all holding this shape together when they walk, with all their individual weirdnesses and whatsits making one big one like the ridges on a key. Or like with aerodynamics—where there are these things you add to the surface of a ball that make it drop or rise, like the stitches on a baseball or the dimples on a golf ball and the spin you put on them to make them curve.
It's weird too, because you can feel how everything wants to make these kids happy. Like there's this downhill slope everything's on to the place where the key fits. You can't help wanting to make it happen.
Remember that time we went skydiving when I won a thousand bucks on a scratch-off ticket? It was out of an old C-17, no door on the side, and we all thought we were going to DIE. And we all went tandem, which sucks because when you're spread out like a flying squirrel and you feel yourself sticking out in every direction, holding things back, making the air rough, adding drag, all you wanna do is pull everything in, tuck your arms and your head, curl up and feel yourself drop into that pocket of fast air, like a really good pitch when it slides into that groove between the throw that starts it and the hit that ends it.
But we went tandem, and the instructor popped the chute way too soon, and all we could do was hang there making dumb-ass small talk while we watched everyone else drop. We landed way off target, had to walk about a half-mile to meet the truck.
Hold up. Did you hear that just now? No? You will, I promise.
They're waking up the kids.
I'm not trying to freak you out. You won't be anywhere near us when it all goes down. I mean, the Creche is right next to the commissary, but the active part of the Creche isn't really even in the same universe technically, so don't sweat the fallout because either we get it right or we don't and either way it's fajitas next Thursday.
All right. What next? Commissary and housing. Easy. No keys, no money, just the Mark. You don't have a Mark yet, so hang onto that keycard. You'll have to get one before the end of the week, especially if more than one of you is working on the same day. We got the clone farm running most days, and they custom-Build adults to run some of the really squirrelly stuff.
We got spots down here where radios and cell phones and electronics don't wanna work so well, so all you gotta do is build twelve of the same guy and make sure they're wired right and presto: human walkie-talkies that don't need to eat but once a week. Or the ones who work the sign-in desks that don't have anything below the waist. They're just these torsos installed straight into those Swedish office chairs, tubes and shit sticking out everywhere if you go behind the desk and take a look, which you should seriously do now if they'll shut down the motion sensors and biometric stuff for you.
Hold up—nosebleed. Gotta Kleenex or something? Wow. A handkerchief. I forgot there was one in the suit. You sure? Thanks, guy. Hope you can get another one, because everyone gets the nosebleeds if they stay down here long enough. Ehhh, yuck. Must have been half my brain came out in that one. Not that there was much to start with. Heh.
So, yeah. The Mark. We all get one, 'cause about a hundred guys work here that either have the same thumbprint as someone else or no thumbprint at all. The Mark doesn't mean anything special; it's not the same as the Sigil. Sigil's a tattoo, you'll eventually have to choose your own outta the book they show you. Mine means something in Hindu or Sanskrit or SomeShit. Looked bad-ass, I don't know. If I'd known how this was gonna play out I might have just closed my eyes and pointed and gotten something different. 'Course, that might not have mattered anyways, according to what they say. No one chooses any of this, really, not on purpose. Welcome to Life on Earth, right?
Anyway, the Mark comes out of the computer. You spit on a conductive membrane, they scrape your cheek, type in the date and time you were Built, do a craniofacial scan, make you fill out a questionnaire, then the computer spits out this design and they jam it under your thumbnail. It's like your key-card, only it's incredibly painful for about a week, and also you never forget to clip it to your belt. Because it's jammed under your fucking thumbnail.
You gonna throw up? I'll be here when you get back. Not. Going. Anywhere.
What's up, Easy-Quease? Seriously, though. It's gross, right? Yeah, I'll show you. Can't lift my hand higher than this, you gotta come around the side of the bed. Yup. This is where the first one was. After everything went all pear-shaped on the last run it crawled out on its own. Hurt like a bitch. Gonna lose the nail. Meantime, they put a new one in the other thumb. Sorry, should have showed you that first. Come on back around the other side of the bed. Come back to the five-and-dime, Jimmy Dean, Jelly Bean, Billie Jean. Not my lover.
Valium! So. What? Oh yeah. Moral of the story is I got two gimpy hands for the price of one. Mom says no video games for a week. But seriously, if there's another week of this I will register a complaint with the relevant human rights agencies, of which there are none. Only so much bed-rest a body can take.
What? Meh. I don't know why me. Why me? Worst two words ever uttered by human tongues. Why the fuck not me? Like, ten of us survived the StormWatch thing, but why should any of those assholes get to have this much fun? The catheter alone is very choice.
The science guys could tell you. But the ones who know the most are gone already, off in some underground vault that's locked off with one of the Moebius engines. Like the ones that keep the kids flavor-sealed in the Creche. Someone can take you there and show you. You can see the Comp Sci guys, sometimes, through the front wall. It goes see-thru and then they pass by all herky-jerky, like a flip book, all blurry photos.
But they can't see us. They won't know anything until it happens, then they'll come out and see if we saved the world this time. It's not like they want to see what happens during. What's that all about, anyway? They roll the dice on me, on the whole thing, then they vamoose before it all goes down. Someone has to turn the key, and they're too chickenshit to do it themselves. Whatever. I'm kind of past caring. It's good that you're here now, though. I can sort of relax, knowing that. Also because of the Valium.
I can't tell you "why me."
I can maybe tell you a little bit of "why you" and "why now."
I figured out we were on the fast-track after this one goddamn trip to the aquarium. Oh yeah, we get field trips from time to time. I was with John-16 at the aquarium. He loves the aquarium, it's my fault, ZooBooks and everything. I showed 'em to John-13 and now every John is all aquarium-this, aquarium-that. It's the only thing that really gets through to him when he shuts down. He's not autistic or anything; he just goes somewhere else, and he won't eat or move, and we have to put him on a damn feeding tube, and he's so skinny already—fuhgeddaboutit. It sucks. Too sad.
So I get clearance to take a jaunt outside—full security detail and all that, tranquilizer guns and tasers and restraints in case any of my kids try any weird shit or decide to go off the reservation. After the sedatives wear off the kids get escorted into the aquarium, which they had totally cleared out for us. We're the only ones there. It's awesome.
John and I are hanging out, not talking, watching this sea lion do backflips underwater. They've got those huge fins like wings, and everything is in slow motion and so graceful you forget to breathe. John's hands and forehead are pressed right up against the tank, and the sea lion is coming so close that his big belly touches the glass every time he loops around, and John starts crying the way he does—small and quiet, like he's really trying not to. It'll break your heart.
I do the big no-no—I touch him. Just for a sec. I kinda rest my hand on his head, to comfort him, like. But all of a sudden his head feels wrong. It's smaller than it looks, and dry and scaly. His hair…disintegrates. It rubs off into little greasy sticky balls on my fingertips, like spiderwebs or rubber cement. I smelled my fingers later and they smelled like rotten eggs, matches. And I look at him again and it's like one of those billboards that changes when you look at it from different angles. From the left, there's John, this little half-Asian kid with a bowl haircut and a runny nose. From the right there's this…I don't know. I'm gonna throw up. Gonna throw up. Help, please.
Sorry. Thanks. It…I can't tell you what it looked like, only that it made me feel the way that fingernails on a sleeping bag sound. I got this weird taste in my mind. That's the best way I can put it. It's like I had synesthesia—that thing where you hear colors and shit? And it felt like my legs were carsick, like all my muscles were vibrating and turning to vinegar when he changed.
It's like he didn't need to be cute for anyone anymore. I feel my hand settle into these grooves and dimples and ridges on John's little head, like they were made for me, like they've been waiting. And I realize that, for the first time in all my sad fucking innings on the rind of this sorry planet, I might have some skin in the game. And I am fucking terrified.
So on this trip it's just supposed to be me and John, but at the last minute they made me take James-12 and Matthew-14 and Peter-9. That's a fuckload more than two kids, bee-tee-dubs. Live and learn, right? And all the way back to the Creche I know something's wrong. Matt and Pete keep switching bodies, so I can't tell them to knock off their usual shit, and James…when we get back to the Creche, James refuses to come out of the fucking van. She gets everyone totally riled up, and we think we were gonna have a repeat of the James-3 incident, only with four kids instead of one.
So we proceed to sedate all of them, and James will not go down. She takes two shots and a dart and that's when she starts screaming. So I have to pull James in one of the gurney-wagons while she screams this noise at the things we pass, but the noise is like fiberglass insulation, like sharkskin or steelwool, synthetic and stiff and barbed, and I have to drag her along like a glass cutter, like her voice is catching on everything and roughing it up.
Like…okay. Picture this. Remember how Dad worked in the shoe repair shop for a couple years before he died, after his pension dried up? Ladies come in all the time, wanting rubber or new tread put on the bottoms of dance shoes and dress shoes; all it takes is one good slip on a winter sidewalk, or a fall in a wedding video and a busted ass-seam in a dress, and they're shelling out twenty bucks to tweak a pair of fifty dollar shoes. And before he'd glue on the rubber, he'd use a rasp to rough up the sole of the shoe, taking off that smooth shiny finish that has no business on the bottom of any shoe, much less one with a four-inch heel on it. That's what this was like, pulling James. She does this thing with her voice that roughs the world up, then John follows her to do…whatever it is he does. He's doing it now.
So. In about ten minutes a technician will come for me and they'll give me my Sigil and I'll be the new Esk. And you'll be a Nanny. Congratulations! It's four boys/girls/things that defy scientific categorization! What? Not "Ex," "Esk." Short for "Eschaton." Look it up. I'll get my Sigil and I'll go into the Creche with the kids and we'll…I don't know exactly. But with any luck, this will be the last time.
They tell you in that video that when it happens, if it happens, you won't even know. It'll feel like one of those twitches you get in your eye, and the world will be different. Reset, like a video game with a new cheat code typed in. If things get really royally fucked up, I'll be gone and there'll be one less Sigil in the book and you'll be here to balance out all the stuff I was supposed to be for in the first place. It'll be easy. Painless.
If it works…well, to start with, you'll be crazy rich. Assuming they ever let you go, which…gimme a break. Gratitude only goes so far. And maybe it doesn't work out, and you're the next Esk. No guarantees if that happens. No guarantees all around. No one knows anything in any way that's comforting, so just enjoy the apartment and try not to think about it too much.
I hope it's me, not you. I've got this feeling that there were never any others, that it's always been me—us. And this shit will go on and on and on until we get it right. But the thing is, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't know how the fact that it's me in there instead of Rich or Jake or any of those other idiots makes a difference. And what sucks is that it might not really matter. Because if they're right they have all the time in the world to figure this out. Infinite do-overs. They keep going until they plug the right one in and bingo—salvation. For everyone but him. Me. Us.
When I go in there, I'm bringing everything. The football. The ZooBooks. Dave's records and my journal and all the pictures I own. All the other parts of the world that I hope will still be there when this is all over. I'm bringing them inside me, right in the front of my mind. I'll be singing so fucking loud. And when I put my hand on John's sweet, scary little head and turn the key that starts this going, I'll be thinking of you. Because you're the reason I need this to work. It's selfish, I'm selfish, I know. But I survived cancer and the goddamn M-80 of mass destruction and I want to somehow survive this too. I'm still young—I want to meet a guy, play some hockey, make a family.

Hey. Hey. Promise me something.
We are never, repeat, never gonna have kids. Right?
Right. So. Now what? Well, you puked up lunch. Get some dinner in you. Everything's better on a full stomach. Gotta keep you healthy for, you know, maybe saving the world-slash-universe-slash-one percent. And you should probably get changed. The next one might need the suit.
Yeah, I know. Too soon.

Everyone one is very helpful and friendly.
We had an awesome stay at the AT&T center! Came for the longhorns game and a night out. Anything we needed the staff was more than willing to provide with a smile I might add. Shannon at the front desk was so helpful and accommodating!! We will DEFINITLEY be back!
LOVED all the UT décor! It got me pumped for the football game! It is so close to all of the tailgates and the stadium so it was really easy to tailgate-hop and take breaks at the hotel. I brought some friends back after we got too hot tailgating and we sat in one of the couch areas with a TV in the lobby and watched some of the other games that were on. Air conditioning, LOTS of comfy couches, TV - not the traditional tailgate but I think that's how I want to "tailgate" from now on!
Location of this hotel is great if you are there for activities at UT campus.
It was close to were we where going
It's big and there was a lot of waking from our room to the restaurant and outside doors
Location and very clean
Cheap on toiletries, didn't replace the used bar of soaps.
The hotel was in Austin, that is about the only thing going for it.
The wi-fi was terrible - and would drop you all the time. For a hotel with the AT&T name, you would think at least the AT&T network would have been reliable, but it wasn't. The burnt orange decor was too much for this aggie. Our room was small, outdated, not very clean, and noisy as they placed us right next to the elevator. We asked for a view of the bell tower, and got a view of a cement courtyard. The valet parking was odd, and when we arrived to had to go and find a bellhop.
Close to UT. Great Wifi, TV and bathroom. Excellent hotel.
Small rooms, Only one chair in the room so second Person has to sit on the bed Very thin walls - could hear neighbors conversations and they weren't yelling
The hotel was very nice and the location was perfect for a college visit. I would be nice if they either included parking or breakfast. The are close options for breakfast but for $200/night why not include parking?
$18 parking.
the facilities were clean and friendly staff. It is a great place to stay for Longhorn fans as it is on the UT campus.
the wi-fi was intermittent service and the parking was confusing at first
Pool needs upgrade
their system did not have my reservations; had I not taken a copy of my confirmation room and rate would have been a different story. I also noted that my friends that did book using booking.com had a larger king room...
We loved the ambiance and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Loved the location and parking was pretty easy in garage. Beds were comfy & changed daily. Rooms were very clean.
Room smelled like sweat socks...bleh! Robes were dirty and torn. Room service waited way to long to pick up (other people's) dirty dishes left in hallways. Elevators were on the fritz. Wish there was an exhaust fan in the bathroom. No washer or dryer in hotel. Booked a capital or tower view, didn't get.
Good location and very nice hotel.
A little more expensive than it should have been, despite being very nice.
Very close to campus a feature for this trip.
Expensive parking, no on site coffee shop.
I didn't like how they don't let you know about additional charges get post on ur total bill as "deposits" that are later returned but still inconvenient. I also didn't like the price for parking. I feel the parking isn't so convenient for the price you pay. The tv in the room we stayed didn't work and no one ever came to check it. Even though we did call in for assistance.
The staff at the front desk where not very helpful and never had a smile on their faces.
Responsive staff
One ice machine and vending machine on floor on other side of building,
Cleanliness and friendly staff
Small swimming pool. No buffet breakfast.
The proximity to campus is unparalleled. A beautiful monument to my alma mater.
Location was great. Rooms and facility were very modern and nice.
Price was too high. It was a nice hotel but probably not worth what we paid (over $200 per night after taxes, fees, parking, etc). **BEWARE**You will be charged an extra $18 PER DAY just for parking. They will not mention this to you ahead of time.
Very nice hotel with good amenities. Very helpful staff!
You could hear everyone talking and walking down the hall late at night. We were woken up multiple times especially on Saturday night.

For a couple of years in the 1970s, the GHSA put on a four-team tournament of champions after the traditional state basketball tournament.
For some reason, it was a boys only event. In 1973, Southwest Macon with Norm Nixon beat Southwest Atlanta with Tony Flanagan. Southwest Atlanta won the next year by beating College Park in the final.
What would happen if we had a tournament of champions in 2011? Most of the top teams aren't afraid to play each other in the regular season. Miller Grove's boys, the No. 1 team in AAAA, has played and beaten No. 1 Milton of AAAAA and No. 1 Columbia of AAA.
Norcross' girls beat No. 1 Wesleyan of Class A, and Wesleyan is playing No. 2 Buford of AA later this season.
Is that enough, or would it be a huge event if the state champions played a tournament the weekend after? Who would win?

My money is going with Miller Grove on the boys side and Norcross on the girls.

Boys – Miller Grove
Girls – Buford (& YES, they'll win their 3rd state in a row in '11) Go Wolves!!

don't count out columbia. they would have beat miller grove had not the official went and added more time on the clock and bogus calls against columbia for no apparent reason.

Miller Grove
January 10th, 2011
3:39 pm
I've seen Miller Grove play many times this year and i cant really tell exactly how good they are. Yes I know they beat Milton (I was at the game) and yes they did win the Beach Ball Classic. All great stuff. But I watched their games during the BBC and I have to say although they won, at no point did I think they were heads and shoulders above their competition. They dont shoot the ball particularly well, at least not in the 4 games ive seen this year. The thing that does make them tough is their length. Tony Parker is amazing at taking up space in the middle. And those other big guys arent bad either.
I would take Miller Grove in a track-meet style game because they are very good in transition. but if it came down to a half-court style game, Id still probably take Milton just because I dont think Miller Grove shoots the ball well enough from the perimeter.
January 11th, 2011
3:50 pm
Not a bad idea. 5A and 4A boys would dominate. No way A and AA could run with those guys. Girls would probably be wide open. I'd like to see this in football as well.
January 11th, 2011
5:52 pm
Trojan56 check out South Atlanta they can run with anybody large school or small.
January 11th, 2011
8:52 pm
I think it depends who make a run at the end of the tournment. I think a southern team will be in there. But overall, maybe Milton boys and Buford girls.
January 12th, 2011
1:44 pm
Why not take the final 4 in each division and start a new tourney and have an one true championship.
January 12th, 2011
6:22 pm
Milton boys in triple OT over MG.
Buford girls (woulda been Norcross if not for the transfer loss – saw her last year, she is seriously good).
January 13th, 2011

All of Alaska is looking forward to seeing Columbia in the Alaska Airlines Classic starting tomorrow. The field is loaded with great teams including West Anchorage, the reigning Alaska state champion.
January 13th, 2011

Milton Boys(Playing Good Now)–Buford Girls- Davis and Carter Both can PLAY
January 13th, 2011
7:06 pm
Miller Grove over Milton in the boys final…Mitlon has no bench. Miller Grove plays good defense and seem to find a way to win the close games. The first match up wasn't close between these two, MG dominated much of the second half. Wouldn't count out Columbia, they have great coaching and play big in big games.
Not sure about the girls, I know Norcross is still loaded even with losing their top player from last year, to Buford. I'll go with Norcross…
January 14th, 2011
9:33 pm
Yes an All Class Tournament would be Great if you go to http://www.highschoolsports.net they rank the to teams in the state. If they were to play in a tournament I would have to say the Final 5 would be Boys Class A Whitefield Academy, Class AA Greater Atlanta Christian, Class AAA Columbia, Class AAAA Miller Grove, Class AAAAA Milton, Girls Final 5 would be Class A Wesleyan, Class AA Buford, Class AAAA Washington County, Class AAAA Redan, Class AAAAA Norcross.
You Create a Bracket by drawing the names out of a hat and then let them play head to head
Alot of the top programs are afraid to play the top teams in the lower Classifications. It is good that Class A Wesleyan (A developed team with good coaches) got a chance to play Class AAAAA Norcross (a recruited team with a good coach) and only lost to them by 1 point.
If they were to play that is a big IF the brackets on the girls side would look like this 1st round would be Class AAA Washington County vs Class AA Buford with Buford Winning Class AAAA Redan vs Class AAAAA Norcross With Redan Winning Class A Wesleyan would get the by just because of the number of Championships second round wold be Class A Wesleyan Playing Class AAAA Redan with Wesleyan winning then Class AA Buford playing Class A Wesleyan with Wesleyan winning.
The Boys side would line up like this Class A Whitefield VS Class AAA Columbia with Whitefield Academy winning, Class AAAAA Milton VS Class AA GAC with Milton Winning, Class AAA Miller Grove gets the bye to to its higher State rank and National Rank Second Round Class A Whitefield vs Class AAA Miller Grove with Miller Grove Winning Final Round Class AAAAA Milton playing Class AAA Miller Grove playing in rematch with Class AAA Miller Grove as the State Champion. Just a thought.

The only true state champion is having one state champ. Only Kentucky does it right with approx 20,000 witnessing the Sweet 16 to determine ONE state champ, men and women. Indiana was the last to fold a couple years ago.
All the classes just dilute the real champion. Only a yearly winner takes all is the way to go. Check Milan, Indiana and Cuba, Kentucky and Sheldon Clark, last years very small school that won in Kentucky. I've lived in five states and having the four or five class champions play for one is the only way to go.
Then being State Champion means something!!!

dnt care for any other class but the AAAA Girls, And Alcovy Girls Need to UP But Time Will Tell,
Go Alcovy Lady TigersQQQ

a bit bigger than I expected on rear rack, but fits good on passenger seat makes a good back rest.
TM5000 Posted:
This bag fits nicely on my 2013 HD V-Rod. The included straps and tiedown points give this bag a near universal fit.
7harris56 Posted:
holds everything for long road trip; ties down easily & gives you a stable load
daniel_506 Posted:
looks great
janinecross Posted:
I needed an additional strap, not included, to make sure the bag did not fall off the back of the bike. The bag is large enough that it could use wheels and a handle (like airline luggage) for easier hauling. Roomy with nice compartments.
opey barr Posted:
Great product. Easy to use and easy to attach to bike. Use supplied rain sock though. Zippers are not water tight.
Sarah Moe Posted:
Perfect for those overnight stays or if you know how to pack right it works great for longer trips too.
henry2007 Posted:
Bag is very roomy - great for long trips BUT it doesn't come with a rain cover and when I was caught in a rainstorm - my clothes were soaked!!! Too bad a rain cover isn't included.

A survey to determine patterns of drug use and attitudes toward treatment was conducted shortly before the establishment of a drug abuse control program in the Army. Eight months after the program was begun, the survey was repeated, using a similar population at the same military installation. Comparison of the surveys revealed no immediate beneficial effects of the program. Reports of previous drug use had increased. The number of those who intended to use nonopiate drugs in the future had increased; willingness to seek treatment remained unchanged and a great deal of skepticism still prevailed.

What are the selective tissue tension tests used by physical therapists?
The selective tissue tension (STT) exam was designed by Dr. James Cyriax, an orthopedic surgeon who is often called the "father of orthopedics."
STT consists of range of motion (ROM), resistive tests, and palpation or feeling the tissues. ROM is both active (the patient moves the body part) and passive (the therapist moves the body part with the patient relaxed).
Each test looks at a specific part of the joint or soft tissues in and around the joint. Palpation is used to look for any signs of deformity or inflammation. When the patient has pain is an important part of the exam. Is it before movement? During movement? Or only after resistance is given to the movement?
Each bit of information helps the therapist identify where the problem is and how to treat it. The STT system is a logical way to assess large joints like the shoulder, hip, and knee. It can be used for other joints as well.

Starting a coaster company
UPDATE: Some of the stuff in this post is wrong, I've written a follow up post called Starting a coaster company, again. Go check it out.
About a month ago Tom announced the start of Coastermatic. Coastermatic is a service that allows Instagram users to print their photos on to stone coasters. We've been working on it rather intensely for the last 5 weeks and are getting pretty close to launch.
After talking about the concept and logistics with a few people who are part of the growing ecosystem of Instagram products, Tom and I decided to make Coastermatic an LLC. LLC stands for 'Limited Liability Company', which basically means the finances for the company are separate from our personal accounts. We're hoping it'll be smooth sailing for Coastermatic, but its better to be safe than sorry.
What did it take to get our coasterican ship in the water? A crash course in governmental + banking bureaucracy. I've spent far too much time online and on hold trying to figure this all out, so I've decided to detail the process here. Hopefully this post will save a people in a similar situation some time and frustration.
1. Register in Delaware
We're based in NYC, and the process for setting up an LLC in New York is a little arduous. Namely, you need to publish a notice of the formation of your company for 6 weeks in 2 newspapers. This takes a lot of time, and money, two things that we don't have.
2. Use Legalzoom.com and order:
- Their basic LLC package with a Tax ID ~$325
- A rush upgrade, so it takes 10 days instead of 35, ~$150
- Certificate of Good Standing for Delaware. ~$180
Legalzoom was recommended to us in our Entrepreneurial Design class. They were fine to work with, and have helpful staff. Note that the Certificate of Good Standing is really important. We missed this part, and are now stuck waiting for it.
3. Authority to do business in NY
Before you can open a bank account in NY, you need a Certificate Under Seal in NY state. This is confusingly also referred to as a Certificate of Good Standing or Certificate of Existence. This certificate means you've told NY and the IRS that you intend to do business here, so they can tax you for it.
This costs around $250, and to get it you'll need:
- Certificate of Good Standing from the home state of your LLC, Delaware for us
- Application for Authority - Form 1361
- Credit/Debit Card Payment - Form 1515
Fax it all through to the Department of State, Division of Corporations. Their uninformative page on the topic is here and includes the fax number.
4. Opening a bank account
Once your business shows up in the Corporation and Business Entity Database you're good to go. Find a bank where you can speak to someone in person. I tried to set up an account online, then via phone + email. Both attempts were completely useless. Do this one IRL and it's much easier.
5. Hook up your accounts and launch!
We're set back a bit since we didn't do everything in this order, but we should be ready to roll in a week or so. We're using Stripe for our online orders, integrating with them has been a dream. It's so nice to be able to style out our own payment form.
Be on the look out this week for Episode 1 of Coastervision, a video series about the possibilities of coasters. Also, join our signup list, where we'll be sending a special treat along with our launch announcement.

Sandra Yockey, M.D., '90, Pediatrics
Dr. Yockey took a hiatus from medicine and spent 13 years doing the toughest job: raising children. She, her husband, Jeff, and their two children, Sarah and Jonathan (now 16 and 14 years), lived for seven years in the Colorado Rocky Mountains where Jeff was a camp director. The family lived in Lithuania during the '08-'09 school year where they worked at LCC International University, a liberal arts university of 600 students from 20 different Eastern European and former Soviet Union countries. While there, she taught a course in Anatomy and Physiology, studied Lithuanian, and traveled around both eastern and western Europe. Today, the family lives in Urbana, IL where they are building a home in a neighborhood close to the University of Illinois campus. Dr. Yockey is a pediatrician at the Community Health Improvement Center (CHIC) in Decatur, Illinois. She loves the challenges of serving an underserved population among a great group of colleagues including Dana Ray-Dotson, M.D., '03. Janet Patterson (former SIU Pediatric Residency Director) is the medical director.

Mar 21st 2011 8:51PM My favorite Sega game would be Die Hard Arcade. I remember when I was in my early teens and we would go to the skate rink for all night skating and I would spend almost 2 hours and tons of quarters on it. It was finally ported to the Saturn and I had to pick it up. I wish I could find it as it was an amazing beat 'em up.
US Apple Store now showing July 2 ship date for new iPhone 4 preorders {TUAW.com}
Jun 16th 2010 9:34AM I tried starting at 7:30 am to 5:00 pm yesterday to no avail. I finally get thru to be able to reserve one....and it says I already have a reservation. I check my email, and low and behold it says that I can pick up my phone on the 24th at 7:00 am. Im a little worried about it, as the price its giving me is the full price and not the 299 subsidized price that I was entering in for. Either way, the whole thing was a fuster cluck.

Gran Turismo 5: still a year away {Joystiq Playstation}
Mar 27th 2008 12:43PM I still cannot believe they are charging for this. Yes, it has alot of cars, but from what I remember it doesnt have very much else. Its called pretty much a demo by everyone, and its something you pay for. Just doesnt sit well with me, and it seems more like a way to strain you for more money since they know they arent going to be done anytime soon.

Authorities are investigating whether a school bus driver ran a red light before colliding with two SUVs near Wadsworth yesterday, killing a driver of one of the vehicles and injuring dozens of elementary students on board.
Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran initially said witnesses told investigators the bus driver appeared to run a red light at the intersection of Highway 173 and Kilbourne Road, hitting a Jeep Wrangler, "close to a T-bone." A Jeep Cherokee at the intersection was also "hit very hard," he said.
But at a news conference hours later, sheriff's officials said other witnesses dispute that account. "We have disputes over the color of the light. We've had witnesses tell us the (bus driver's) light was possibly not red" when it entered the intersection, said Lake County Sheriff's Sgt. Sara Balmes.
The bus driver, a woman, remains hospitalized as authorities sort out the accident. Curran said she was "obviously upset." Officials said she will undergo a drug and alcohol screen, required whenever there is a fatal accident.
The bus driver worked for Durham School Services, which released a statement saying it was "working with the Lake County sheriff's office to determine the cause of the serious accident Friday morning that involved a Durham school bus."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the driver of the Jeep who sustained fatal injuries, as well as with all of those affected by this accident," the company said.
The accident happened around 8:05 a.m. as the bus was taking children to the Newport Elementary School, which holds grades kindergarten through fifth grade, officials said. The bus was traveling west on Highway 173 and struck the Wrangler headed south on Kilbourne, Curran said. The driver of the Wrangler, Philip Smith, 62, of Beach Park, was killed.
The school bus was knocked over on the driver's side, about 30 yards west of the intersection, its nose in the ditch and the windows busted out. The bronze Jeep Cherokee Laredo was near the rear of the school bus, its front end badly damaged. The yellow Jeep Wrangler was demolished from the back seat forward.
Officials described the injured children as "walking wounded."
The children were out of the bus when paramedics arrived. Twenty-three were determined to be code green, or good to fair condition, officials said. They were put on another bus with two paramedics on board and two ambulances as escorts on its way to Advocate Condell Hospital in Libertyville.
Another 12 students were sent to hospitals by ambulance.
"There was a complete range of emotions" among the children, said Brian Keller, chief of operations for the Lake County sheriff's office. "Some of the kids were upbeat and jovial as if they just got off a ride at Great America and other kids were asking for their mother or father and wanted to go home.
"But when we engaged in conversation with these kids and asked them questions about hobbies and sports, they changed the page real quick and were very upbeat and smiling," Keller said.
Asked why the children were not more seriously injured, Keller said the "high seatbacks" on the bus protected the "kids as they're bouncing on the bus" and it overturned.
Theresa Diliberti said her two children, a 6-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, normally take the bus, but her son was not feeling well today. He was riding in the car with her on Route 173 when she pulled up to the intersection and saw the bus on its side.
"It was terrible," she said. "I was able to pass through -- emergency vehicles were there already. I pulled over. I didn't know if it was my daughter's bus so I called the school. I found out it was her bus so I stayed there. I was told they were triaging the kids. ... I was told my daughter was on another bus brought in to take kids to the hospital.
"She was just shaken up," Diliberti said. "Bumps and bruises. I was very relieved."
At the rural intersection of Highway 173 and Kilbourne Road, bordered on three sides by corn and wheat fields, police and crash investigators surveyed the scene well into the afternoon.
Kyong Kim, who lives near the corner, said she didn't hear anything until 9 a.m. and by then, emergency responders were on the scene. Kim runs a dry cleaner in Waukegan and has lived at that intersection for nine years, she said.
Last year, Kim said, a traffic light was installed at the intersection and it has since felt safer. Asked if it was the worst accident she's seen since living there, Kim expanded the boundaries of the question.

I doubt I'll notice the empty spot where Twinkies once sat on the grocery shelves, but some people will. I was never a huge fan of the Twinkie. I felt like the cake was too dry and there was never enough cream filling. Jeremy talked about his mom's Twinkie cake for months and months when we…
