Widener University Celebrates Opening of Bown Garden
About 15 years ago, Thomas H. Bown II, a member of the class of 1967, wrote the words,
"To honor Bonnie Bown: my girlfriend, fiancée and wife through Pennsylvania Military
College, Widener and life; Becky and Catherine's mom."
Those words provided inspiration as he considered his long-time wish to make a significant gift to his alma mater, Widener University. On Sept. 29, the Bowns celebrated the dedication of the Bown Dome Sculpture Garden with 250 people at a black-tie dinner in the garden at Widener. Bonnie saw those words for the first time, chiseled in granite, along with the sculpture and the two-acre transformation of the center of Widener's campus.
Over the summer, the area adjacent to Widener's iconic Old Main building was transformed into an expansive green space featuring 36 Japanese Zelkova trees, centered by a 52-foot-tall dome sculpture that echoes the signature dome atop Old Main. The sculpture includes 11 monumental scale, 600-pound, solid stainless steel silhouettes depicting students, faculty and graduates in cap and gown below and surrounding the dome. The garden and sculpture were designed by Tom Bown and made possible through a $1.25 million gift from the Bowns.
"My concept for the dome sculpture was to create a focal point at the center of campus that reflects the strength of our historic past, our present sense of community and our bright future. Bonnie and I share a mutual interest in art and beautiful landscapes," said Tom Bown, a resident of Gwynedd Valley, Pa. and a long-time university trustee.
According to Widener University President James T. Harris III, the garden is more than a serene setting for the university community to enjoy. It will have meaning, as freshmen pass under the dome, over a six-foot granite seal of the University, following freshmen convocation at the outset of their Widener education. Then, at graduation, students will again pass through the dome symbolizing the completion of another phase of their education and entering the world community.
"This generous gift from Tom and Bonnie Bown not only honors their long love for each other," Harris said, "but it also honors the past, present and future of this proud institution."
Bonnie Bown added, "I was aware of our gift, of course, but Tom kept me from seeing the finished product of his design efforts until the dedication. I am amazed and proud of the beauty and feeling he has evoked."
"Our gift is to help ensure the future success of Widener so that the university will thrive and be available for others as it was for us so many years ago," Tom Bown added.
Widener University is a private, metropolitan university that connects curricula to social issues through civic engagement. Dynamic teaching, active scholarship, personal attention, leadership development, and experiential learning are key components of the Widener experience. A comprehensive doctorate-granting university, Widener is comprised of eight schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences and professional and pre-professional curricula leading to associate's, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. The university's campuses in Chester, Exton, and Harrisburg, Pa., and Wilmington, Del., serve approximately 6,500 students. Visit the university's website, www.widener.edu, for more information.

Is your man abusive?
Abusive men always think there is a reason behind a woman's actions and her words. They rarely look at the goodness that is present in her. They frequently suspect her of doing things they are not guilty of and are easily irritated by her, especially when she is in a good mood. These men might feel they love these...

In Reply to: Baby slider? posted by stickyfeet on April 24, 2003 at 20:29:23:
I live in NYC and it used to be that you could walk down Chinatown and look for shops with buckets of baby RES. Lately the police have been cracking down with fines and jail time. All of a sudden, they are nowhere to be found.
I got lucky and got one last November. If I see them pop out again, I'll post a heads up but its a decent trip from VT to NYC just to hope they are selling turts that day. I head up to Killington all the time but at least I know the mountains are always there. :)
:i got mine in chinatown...but you can also order them off the internet by mail; if you are willing to risk the dangerous trip for the turt. i suggest wait til early summer and take a trip down to nyc chinatown. at least that way you are saving the turt from getting a bad home.
:::Hi everyone. I am a relatively new slider owner and I got my turt from the pet store. I am guessing it is a he and that he is about 3 years old. In 6-12 months we are moving to a bigger house and I will be getting a bigger turt set up (right now I have a 40 gal breeder tank). At that time I would like to get a baby turt or two. Would my male tolerate the addition, do you think? Also, where on earth do you find baby RES'. The only pet store around here that carries turtles have HUGE ones - the smallest is about 4 inches. I want a baby. They are so cute! Any ideas? I live in Vermont..............

Ultra-Wide / High / Thick / Heavy Panels
With a load-bearing range of 400kg plus, the MFH range is designed to push the boundaries of panel access design. Even the heaviest, tallest and widest panels are possible with a single pair of hinges. For non glass materials, such as hollow-core and solid-core, doors up to a standard thickness of 51mm/2" are able to be installed (with minimal gaps as close as 1mm). Greater door thicknesses are possible. The usual restrictions for concealed hinged panels in height, width, thickness and weight no longer apply. The revolutionary two-part/snap-on MFH mortised door insert with its indexed mounting feature complements the range of options available.
For more information please see the Case Study here.
Commercial Fit Outs
MFH hinges are used across a diverse range of commercial and corporate environments. Glass applications as well as all other solid materials can easily be incorporated into any panel access design. The MFH hinge range only requires minimal gaps between doors allowing for multiple doors to be installed in a most unobtrusive manner. This is an excellent solution for shop fitting, hotel lobbies, transport terminals and offices.
Industrial Access
Industrial access applications for MFH hinges include industries such as oil & gas facilities, wind turbine towers, electricity & water generation facilities, secure storage facilities, panic /safe-rooms, mining facilities, marine, exterior town lighting units as well as others. The common requirements for industrial access doors are high security with no exposed mechanism elements, heavy load bearing capacity, perfect weather tight sealing, zero maintenance, perfect permanent alignment and the safe & smooth operation. MFH hinges more than satisfy all these requirements and are being selected for an increasing number of industrial access projects.
Access panels in Non-Glass Facades
With flexible mounting options and many different adapters on the door and frame MFH hinges offer a truly concealed panel access solution for facades of most construction materials. Let it be timber panels, stone panels or metal cladding panels, MFH hinges enable a perfect fit in record time, with all fine-tuning occurring under full load by a single person without any support equipment. MFH hinges are also highly-corrosion resistant and are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to even the harshest environments.
Residential Fit Outs
As a maintenance-free product with an extensive lifespan, MFH hinges are ideal for residential applications designed to stand the test of time. The unique adjustment mechanisms enable effortless realignment (where necessary), effectively eliminating any maintenance costs throughout its lifespan. MFH hinges are an ideal solution for hollow-core and solid-core doors in wardrobe and storage areas. All panels are supported by a single pair of hinges. There is no longer the need for multiple hinges per panel with all their associated problems.
Illuminated Advertising, Wall Cladding, Signage - Panels
MFH hinges are ideal for illuminated wall cladding,advertising and signage panels. Access to the light source or imagery behind the panel is often difficult. MFH hinges are a perfect solution, with the capability to mount directly to glass, acrylic and any other transparent/ semi-transparent panel materials. Mounting options include tamperproof single point fixings, bonding to the rear of the panel, or into extrusions which leaves the front of the panel clean and uninterrupted. Alternatively access can be provided by metal panels at the rear of units. MFH concealed hinges are maintenance free and provide the highest security with no exposed mechanism elements. Optimum weather proofing for external units is paramount and easily achieved with MFH Hinges.
LED/LCD Screens
Many LED/LCD screens require a hinging system that allows technicians access to the rear of the panel for maintenance. The MFH hinges are well suited for ultra-thick panels. Hinges are often bolted into a metal sub-frame supporting the screen or bonded to the panel with a suitable adhesive. The large weight of the screen is supported by a single pair of hinges, requiring only a minimal hinge space at the rear of the screen.
Cabinetry / Joinery / Millwork
The common issue with cabinet doors is the frequent occurrence of misalignment after a period of use. This is now a problem of the past. MFH Hinges are guaranteed to maintain perfect permanent alignment no matter how frequent the use is. Floor-to-ceiling kitchen pantry doors or wardrobe doors are installed with a single pair of hinges. There is no longer a need for multiple hinges per door regardless of weight, width or height. MFH hinges can be used for ultra wide & ultra thick panels.
Opening Panels in Facades- Smoke and Heat Ventilation & Extraction
As the only glass-to-glass concealed hinging system worldwide, MFH Hinges provide unparalleled advantages for maximum transparency frameless glass facades. The MFH 3D articulated panel mount effectively compensates for panel stresses and deformation caused by wind–loading. The high load bearing capacity together with true 3D instant adjustment under full load allows for even the largest glass panels to be installed and adjusted with ease and precision. The unique parallel hinge/panel movement achieves a superior panel seal and vastly reduces the wear and tear on seals. The parallel hinge motion also creates a ventilation gap around the full panel perimeter with an only slightly opened panel. This provides ideal aerodynamic ventilation conditions. Manfred Hinges can be motorized to be integrated into controllable computerized facade constructions.
Marine Fit Outs
MFH hinges are made from highly-corrosion resistant materials that stand up to the tough requirements of marine environments. Boats and large vessels across the world utilise MFH hinges throughout their design, ranging from hatches and frameless windows to interior fit-outs. The correct alignment and the perfect sealing of any marine access panels has long been a major problem. Frame/structure movement can occur in the marine environment requiring panels to be re-aligned frequently. Simply installed in their mid range adjustment position MFH hinges are instantly 3D adjustable in situ, under full load. The unique parallel movement achieves a superior panel seal and vastly reduces the wear and tear on seals. Manfred Frank guarantees permanent perfect panel alignment. MFH hinges perform in the harshest environments and have virtually no maintenance costs- a strong case in an industry where maintenance costs are usually substantial.
Curtain Walls
Multiple doors of greater width and height can be installed creating aesthetically clean surfaces with minimal lines. Doors can be installed with hinges mounted back to back regardless of frame thickness. The unique variable geometry of MFH hinges allows for even the thickest doors to open simultaneously side-by-side without colliding and in return close perfectly surface flush. The unparalleled extensive range of MFH 3D hinge adjustment eliminates the usual problems of perfectly aligning large numbers of doors. Consistently even and minimal gaps between multiple doors are now an easily achieved result.
Museum Gallery Displays
Many museums and other institutions have accepted MFH hinges as their standard hinging solution for large glass panels and display areas. As the only concealed hinge capable of glass-to-glass, extrusion mounting and bonding, MFH hinges are able to cater to the designs of most display cases and exhibits. The high load-bearing capacity and minimal footprint enable display panels to be safely installed record time. Many museum & gallery displays contain precious objects requiring special controlled environmental conditions. The True 3D adjustment of MFH hinges is capable to precisely control the panel seal pressure and provide a hermetically sealed display case interior. Perfect permanent panel alignment together with safe and smooth operation makes MFH hinges the product of choice for institutions worldwide. Furthermore, the longevity of the product results in significantly reduced maintenance costs over the decades of use.
Frameless Glass Lift Shafts
Glass Lift Shafts are commonly constructed with glass panels connected to visible single point fixings attached to a metal structure. Access panels are required to allow for the maintenance and cleaning of the interior of lift shafts. Any mechanisms used for hinged access panels are usually exposed and easily visible. MFH hinges are designed with an emphasis not only on high performance but also on finely detailed aesthetics. MFH 3D articulated point fixings incorporate the industry standard Ø 50mm mounting disc platform. This allows MFH hinges to blend perfectly into the overall design with other point fixings for non opening panels. The mounting requirements for MFH hinges on the frame side are extremely simple and minimal. A small steel lug protruding from the floor or the ceiling can be all it needs. Perfect panel alignment and smooth panel opening/closing is guaranteed.

Billow Kapok Pillow
Included with each Billow pillow is a luxurious and organic count sateen cotton and machine washable "Billow case".
Each Billow pillow is hand made with love and care.
Please allow 1-2 weeks for production and delivery of your order.
Shipping and handling in the contiguous US are free.
Contact us for wholesale and international shipping inquiries.
Billow Case
$40 + Shipping
These custom fitted machine washable Billow Cases are the same cases that came with your original Billow.
Purchase an additional Billow Case for when yours is in the wash.
The Billow kapok pillow is made from a blend of USDA and OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton and kapok. Kapok is a vegetable down and often referred to as "silk cotton". Kapok is a soft, silky and all natural fiber with a similar feel to a down pillow.
The Billow kapok pillow is filled with kapok that is naturally harvested from the seed pods that are dropped from the Ceiba trees in tropical rain forest regions. This helps to preserve the life of the tree and encourage the local economies of the indigenous people.
The Billow kapok pillow is cruelty-free and not treated with chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It is also a compostable and biodegradable resource that reduces waste. As kapok is not treated for flammability, it is best to use precaution if burning candles or incense close to any bedding or pillows made with kapok.
Natural fiber pillows may compress over time, but will remain comfortable and supportive. Kapok pillows in general may compress and have a warmer feel than natural wool. However, a Billow filled with kapok will maintain its shape due to its overall segmented construction.
The Billow is ideal for surgery recovery, massage support and daily rest.
If you would like an organic wool Billow, please click here.
The Billow pillow keeps your torso raised and slightly elevated without compromising sensitive breasts and stomachs post surgery. This position is beneficial for patients who have breast surgery including mastectomy, reconstruction, augmentation or reduction, cardio thoracic, facial and abdominal surgery. Lying in this position also helps to reduce snoring and sleep apnea.
The Billow roll pillow may be used to provide extra support behind the neck in this position.
Side Relief
Billow provides support to the neck and shoulder while lying on your side. The Billow roll pillow can add extra comfort between the breasts or stomach while in this position.
Blissful Breasts
The Billow pillow provides breast, under arm, neck and lower back support for those with extreme sensitivity in those areas. This position provides maximum comfort while lying on your stomach or getting a massage and is perfect for post surgery, nursing moms, or anyone who has larger breasts or needs extra back support while lying on their stomach.

When you install Ubuntu, it usually configures your graphics card to drive the display at its native resolution with basic settings. While this may work fine in most situations, you can customize Ubuntu's display with different resolutions, proprietary drivers for extra performance, and the capability to use multiple monitors for productivity, gaming or other needs. You can make all of these settings changes from within a simple graphical interface.
Single Display
Step 1
Click the gear-shaped "System Menu" icon, located next to the system clock on the menu bar, and then select "System Settings."
Step 2
Double-click the "Displays" icon in the Hardware section.
Step 3
Choose your preferred display resolution from the drop-down box. A higher resolution like 1024 by 768 pixels looks clearer and offers more space than a smaller resolution like 800 by 600. However, it makes text and icons smaller and possibly harder to see. Your monitor's native resolution, which you can usually find listed in the owner's manual, is generally the best choice. Wide-screen resolutions are followed by the "16:9" designation, while traditional-width resolutions are denoted by "4:3."
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Step 4
Select the rotation of the display, if needed. This setting is used to set the correct orientation for a display that can rotate into the portrait position.
Step 5
Click "Apply," and then select "Keep This Configuration" in the next window if the changes work correctly. Otherwise, do nothing in order to revert to the previous settings.
Multiple Displays
Step 1
Click the gear-shaped "System Menu" icon on the menu bar, select "System Settings," and then choose "Displays" to see a graphical representation of your displays.
Step 2
Click the display you would like to adjust, and then enable or disable the display, if desired, using the first toggle switch.
Step 3
Choose the desired resolution and rotation. These should be the same on each monitor.
Step 4
Select which display the Application Launcher will be located on to set that display as the primary one. Optionally, select "All Displays" to have an Application Launcher on each display.
Step 5
Change a display's position, if necessary, by dragging it to the correct position so that the icons are in the same order as the physical displays are.
Step 6
Toggle the Sticky Edges setting to "On" to have the mouse slow down at the edge before transitioning to the next display.
Step 7
Select "Mirror Displays" to have all displays show the same content, rather than stretching the desktop across multiple displays.
Step 8
Click "Apply," and then select "Keep This Configuration."
Proprietary Drivers
Step 1
Install proprietary drivers from your graphics card manufacturer by clicking the gear-shaped "System Menu" icon, located next to the system clock on the menu bar, and then selecting "System Settings."
Step 2
Double-click the "Software and Updates" icon, and then click the "Additional Drivers" tab.
Step 3
Select the newest proprietary or binary driver for your video card, if one is available.
Step 4
Click "Apply," and then choose "Close." To reverse the changes, repeat the process, but select the original driver in Step 3.
- Proprietary drivers may offer some performance benefits, but they may also contain bugs. Neither Canonical nor the makers of graphics card typically offer support for proprietary drivers.
- Information in this article applies to Ubuntu 13.04. It may vary slightly or significantly with other versions.

We got to church and found it surrounded by old women smoking cigarettes outside. Open entering the church social hall we paid our 10 euro to 'buy' into the game. We all noticed instantly upon looking at the cards that this game was not what we were used to playing. Each sheet represented three games. The first game was covering one row, second game was covering two rows on the same grid, and the third game was covering all three rows on a grid.
Each sheet had six game boards on it. Each table was 3 columns by 9 rows. And over all six game boards would be 1-99. A single table looked liked this:
6 __ 25 __ __ __ 66 76 81
__ 19 26 30 __ 55 __ __ 82
7 __ __ __ 44 __ 68 79 87
We were a little embarrassed to ask for help since we'd never played this form of bingo before. Finally we asked the old ladies in front of us how to play. It was a bit hard understanding the announcer with his thick country Irish accent. Luckily they posted the numbers up too. One of my friends hadn't quite picked up on the game rules completely and had one row covered during the second game of the card. She yelled out, "BINGO!!" First, she needed two rows covered, and second, they yell "cover" not "BINGO!" Well, we quickly became the three odd Americans who didn't really know what they were doing.
On the plus side, two of us ended up winning games that night. I won 20 euro which was great since it was towards the end of the trip and I was running out of money. On top of that I couldn't remember my pin number to get more money from my bank account. It was a fun evening getting to hang out with the locals and get laughed at a little.

G asked me not to put her helmet on with the staple. I think she meant the clip?
At the doctors office he asked G what her last name was and she said Goose. Maybe it's time to drop the nickname?
Just using his awesome new helmet to keep him safe while reading:
Coop: they come in all sizes
Dude: that cannot be possible bc then they would have to come as small as molecules!
Coop: right. Thank you Captain Literal.
Dude: there are lots of molecules in your hands!
We just love exploring and biking through the countryside, which fortunately is just a few blocks away in multiple directions. Too bad there aren't shoulders for safety. Or water fountains. Or bigger wheels on Dude's tiny bike!
Wouldn't want to not have enough milk with your cereal...
Incidentally, after I began cleaning it up I noticed the milk carton was on the far side of the table meaning she must've poured, got down and put it on the far side, then returned to her spot. Did she think this way I wouldn't know who'd done it?
Coop to L: we do not give our babies swirlies! Get that baby doll out of the toilet! No swirlies! No swirlies in our house!
G got to spend a special weekend with Nana and Bopa all by herself. She got the kind of attention she has only dreamed of before and loved it.
When hanging out with Aunt Patti at her office, G told people that "my friend L misses me," handed out date stamp artwork that she had signed, and replied that she was so cute "because of my mommy." Awwww. We would skype with her and blow her kisses so she wouldn't forget us amidst all the glamor:
And she was right! When L first saw her home, she pranced over to her shouting her name again and again. You'll have to trust me, it was darn cute.

Compliance with posted speed limits improved more than 16 percent during the first two years of the Sugar Land Police Department's Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).
The enforcement initiative – funded with an $85,251 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation – also resulted in a 10 percent reduction in accidents since Oct. 1, 2010.
The grant period is from Oct. 1, 2010, through Sept. 30, 2013. The STEP grant provides overtime to staff increased traffic enforcement in targeted areas, an extra resource that does not affect SLPD's normal operations.
Speeding continues to be the number one factor contributing to accidents within Sugar Land, accounting for 52 percent of all crashes that occurred in October 2012.
The police department uses crash data, speed surveys and information supplied by residents to identify those areas where additional enforcement is needed.
SLPD speed surveys conducted prior to the STEP grant indicated only 19 percent of drivers were obeying posted speed limits at some of the STEP grant's targeted intersections, and compliance was below 50 percent at every targeted location.

I am super excited to have Jenna Bayley-Burke here with us at Redheads. She's here to talk about her book, For Kicks, that released today. Oh, and she's giving away a $5 amazon gift card so you can buy a copy for yourself! Woohoo!
Let's all give a warm welcome to Jenna B!
Crystal: Hi Jenna! *waves like a loon* Please introduce yourself.
Jenna: Hi everyone! *Kermit flail* Can't let you dance alone.
These 'tell me about yourself' questions always throw me off. I think it's because I am used to having conversations at preschool pickup and the grocery store, where the questions are more like – where did you find her dress (the Gymboree clearance rack, with gymbucks it only cost me $5) and what are you making for dinner (Minestrone casserole made from the pot roast leftovers).
When I'm trying to be all professional – I'm a mother of three, married to my high school honey for half my life, and I like to make up stories. Sometimes I like them so much they become entire novels and I start to believe the characters are real. Wait, that sounds weird. Let's just stick to what are you making for dinner, shall we?
Crystal: Bahahahahaha! You did the Kermit flail! Lol. I love the Muppets. *wipes laughing tears from eyes* Ok, tell us about the hero/heroine in For Kicks.
Jenna: Breeze Cohen is a complete workaholic. Being a department store assistant manager makes it quite easy for work to swallow your whole life. Between ad-set, merchandising, stocking, scheduling…I'd be at work from 5am to 10pm. Wait…you wanted to know about Breeze. She loves success, sleep, and goldfish (the animals, not the crackers).
Logan Chandler is a former professional soccer player, his career cut short by an accident. Now he's in marketing at a major athletic shoe and apparel company, working on the launch of a new sneaker designed for playing soccer. His best friend is the spokesperson, so he's determined to make the launch a huge success. The only thing tripping him up? An exclusivity contract with Breeze's department store. He loves adventure, chocolate, and his big sister.
Crystal: How did you come up with these characters?
Crystal: Ugh. I used to work at a department store too. Their hours always sucked! So I definitely feel for you and for Breeze. What did you find was the most fun/rewarding part of writing For Kicks?
Crystal: Lol! Her trip was fun. *wink, wink* When you're not writing, what do you enjoy doing?
Crystal: I love Zumba! I got a couple of my friends and family to try it too. It's so much fun! :) Where do you get your ideas for your romances?
Crystal: Completely agree. I can think of so many storylines and that's about as far as I get before I'm stuck. Lol. Are you working on any current projects?
Crystal: Oooo....Sounds adventurous. :) Can't wait to read it. Do you have a favorite theme(s) you work with?
Crystal: While writing, do you sit in complete silence or do you listen to music, have t.v. on in the background, etc.?
Crystal: Kids can be quite noisy. Lol. I usually have 5 running around here during the week and it's definitely dicey when I'm trying to bust out a quick review. Time for some fun! I have selected a few random fun questions.
Team Edward or Jacob? Or if you have never read Twilight, vampires or werewolves?
Crystal: You sound like me when it comes to haunted houses. If I see an old house I usually point and say "I bet that house is haunted" which then usually earns me some eye rolls. Lol. If it makes you fee better, I think there is always a chance it could be real. :) Alright, the all important question of boxers or briefs?
Crystal: Omigosh I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard! Let's not forget that you get to see more of the package too. ;) Ah, that was great. *shakes head with a laugh* What is the last book you read?
Crystal: Sweet. Yeah, let's just say I have been in the same boat with my 2-year-old. It's quite embarrassing when he throws a tantrum in the middle of the restaurant. If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see play the lead role as you?
Crystal: I love Sara! I thought she was cute before she lost all that weight, not she is a knockout with a sense of humor. :) Second to the last question, I promise. Do you have any secret talents not many people know about?
Crystal: That is just too cool! I am so not creative enough to do that. Hell, I can barely cook a decent meal myself. Lol. I'm sure you have a lot of nail polish tucked away somewhere. And I would expect nothing other than a French manicure with Breeze. She is too classy for anything else.
Alright, last but not least...
If you could have dinner with any famous person, who would it be?
Jenna: Jane Austen. I'd love to know what she thinks about how women are perceived in literature now, if this is what she envisioned for female authors. Does the person have to be alive? Then it's probably Anthony Bourdain. His writing is spectacular, and he's always someplace I've never been.
Breeze Cohen senses something is missing from her life, but her career doesn't leave time for anything but retail business strategy—particularly the upcoming product launch for her cornerstone client, Nitrous.
No way is she going to let live-for-the-moment Logan Chandler tarnish her professional reputation. Even if the ex-athlete poster boy for Nitrous makes her heart pound like she's run a marathon.
After surviving a near-fatal accident, Logan doesn't want to waste a minute of life. It's meant to be lived, ravished, enjoyed—and there's no one he'd like to ravish more than Breeze. There's a deep pool of mutual desire beneath her icy façade. He can feel it every time they touch.
When a training snafu at Nitrous launches Breeze into damage control, Logan is ready and waiting to lace up and take her for a run on the wilder side—if he can catch her.
Logan can't get enough of Breeze. There is just something about her that calls to him. Once she gives in to temptation, he quickly realizes that she is even better than he thought. Now if he can just get past the whole they can't be together because they work together, everything would be dandy.
Throw in a couple sex scenes and OMG a hot as all get out phone sex scene, (I've read a few and this was by far the best. Phew! *fans face*) and you have a steamy read. And let's not forget about the rest of the book either. I loved the pull between the Logan and Breeze. There are things that holds Breeze back from her relationship with Logan that I would have probably done the same thing if I was in her situation. I love the books that get you emotionally involved. They are the best!
Catch up with Jenna on her website (www.jennabayleyburke.com), blog (www.jennabayley-burke.blogspot.com), Twitter (@jennabb), or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/jenna.bayleyburke).
Ok. The big question that you need to answer in the comments to be put in the drawing...
What are you making for dinner? Jenna would love to know!! Alright, make sure you leave a comment below! Thanks for stopping by! :)

The Financial District is an area located at Southern spot of the borough of Manhattan. It is a place where many of the city's financial institutions and headquarters are housed. It includes the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street and much more. The District made New York City into the world's leading financial center, and the most economically powerful city.
Wall Street
Wall Street is, and has for quite a long time been a symbol of money and power. In 1653, during the tenure of Peter Stuyvesant, a wall stretched from the Hudson River to the East River. The Dutch built it to protect themselves from the British, who were at the time inhabiting the north. The wall was not required for defense purposes, and the British tore in down in 1699. A path, named Wall Street, connected the banks of the East and Hudson rivers. Early merchants built important buildings on this path, such as a city hall, church, shops and warehouses. Later, the exchange rented a place on Wall Street, and worked the organization from there from then on.
One of the most famous attractions of Wall Street is the Charging Bull. The bronze sculpture was installed in 1987 following the stock market crash of that year.The Bull was designed and sculpted by the artist, Arturo Di Modica. It was, and still is, a symbol of "the strength and power of the American people". Once the Bull was set up, it instantly became a hit amongst photographers, and a major tourist destination of the Financial District.
New York Stock Exchange
The NYSE is home to over 2,800 companies that collectively exceed the value of $15 trillion. After the American Revolution, Congress issued $80 million in bonds to pay for war debt. A certain marketplace was necessary to hold this type of activity. So, after years of informal exchange in coffeehouses, a group of brokers decided to do something about that; so they got together and came up with the "Buttonwood Agreement" on May 17th, 1792. Their plan marked the beginning of the New York Stock Exchange.
In 1934, the NYSE registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions as a national securities exchange. Until 1938, the main governing body was the Governing Committee. Then, the exchange hired their first paid president and created up with a board of governors made up of 33 members. Later on, in 1972, the exchange became much more organized with 25 member board directors, 12 representatives, a chairman, CEO, and others. The NYSE is the second largest stock exchange in the world.
The photos and artworks at nyArt.com capture various parts of the Financial District. Rather than focusing solely on the Bull or the NYSE headquarters, our art gives you a taste of both from different perspectives. The photographs' quality allows you to see the light reflecting off the shining, bronze statue of the Bull, and the paintings use color to emphasize the bright and cheery lights of the Christmas tree standing outside the New York Stock Exchange.

As I scooped up the last handfuls of fallen petals from my most beautiful ever tulip bouquet, I could not seem to convince myself that they were done blooming. So i placed them into a favorite white ware bowl so as to honor them just a bit longer. Then I happened to notice. . .they matched some napkins I had just made from scraps of fabric.
Double-Sided, Mitered-Corner Napkins. When I wanted to refresh my memory about the technique I learned some years ago, I did a search and found a great guide for making them and best of all, it told you how to adapt measurements to make your desired size. This way I was able to use a larger piece and also the smaller pieces that were left over. Stitching up utilitarian homey things was so fun.
Make Four - Give A Gift.

Wagman Movie Night – Sunsets and Rainbows – By Nate Brandt
9/6/2014 – Sunset at Wagman Observatory – By Nate Brandt

9/6/2014 – Sunset at Wagman Observatory – By Nate Brandt
Thursday night at Wagman was one of the most transparent nights I've ever seen at Wagman. The MW was easily visible and dipping further into the south than usual. I took a few pictures around the observatory to try and show how nice the view was. Regards, Nate Brandt
08/10/2014 – During a full moon night at Wagman Observatory I decided to play with the Brashear Refractor and determine requirements for extension tubes and other adapters to reach focus with a small chip high speed, webcam like, imaging camera for lunar and planetary imaging. As luck would have it,
Hi all! This my image of IC5068 in Cygnus. I saw this image

Hello guys! Throwback to when I was in England and planning for the English autumn weather which I'd actually never see because I now live in L.A! Ah well, this renders half of my closet useless so of course I had to pretend it was cold and dress for it.
I love wearing all white and if I were less clumsy around food I'd do it a lot more often. These Topshop jeans are an off white/cream colour and also have distress holes around the knees and thigh. They'er super super skinny so stick to me like a second skin but I couldn't wear any other kind of jeans as it would just feel far too baggy!
The turtleneck jumper/cape works really well with the jeans but it just slightly a different colour so I don't look too matchy-matchy. I'm always really careful around knitwear because I hate the kind that makes you really itchy – I can't stand 5 minutes in clothing like that! Fortunately this material is really soft and itch free. I'm not a massive fan of turtle necks because I hate the tight ones that stick to your neck because I feel really restricted. This turtleneck is perfect because it's super baggy and gives me load of space so I can actually breathe.
My shoes are from the shoe god Jeffrey Campbell they're like a badass high heel/platform version of the Timberland boot. They're honestly bigger than most guys dicks – no lie. They're super comfy and really hug your foot. I always feel like that really helps in order to not fall over in high heels. The heels I own that aren't like a second skin means that my foot can move around (even if it's only millimetres) which can often throw your balance and maybe cause yourself to fall over – not cute. These shoes have laces and strap buckles which you can tie tight and fit tight to your foot and ankle. They really aren't going anywhere. I feel that these high heels work really well with jeans because you can tuck jeans into them which brings attention to the shoes. Cute.

How does cornbread stuffing sound?
Somehow, I don't seem to ever feel full when I eat cornbread... I can just keep eating it and eating it with all the honey I can take ;) Ok, let's not go overboard here but I do love cornbread. And it's quite simple to do gluten & dairy free.
Wednesday 11.23.2011, night before Thanksgiving
A Free Thanksgiving: Cornbread Stuffing
1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour (Gluten Free Pantry)
3/4 cup gluten free cornmeal
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 tbl sugar (organic cane)
2 eggs
3/4 cup coconut milk (sugar free)
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tbl honey
Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. In a large mixing bowl beat eggs well and add in the rest of the wet ingredients, then add in the dry. Mix well until it looks like a batter. Preheat the oven to 400 and coat a glass cake dish with coconut oil (about 2 tbl worth) and place on top of the oven (not inside) while it heats. Pour batter in and bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, turn the oven off while leaving the bread in for about another 5 minutes.
Since this was for stuffing the next day, I covered in foil and left out overnight to cool.
11.24.2011, Thanksgiving :)
1 celery stalk (thinly chopped)
1/4 onion (diced)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 Apple (chopped)
1 clove garlic (diced)
1/4 cup Raisins
1/2 cup chicken broth yeast free
1/4 cup of water
Dash of sage
Cut the cornbread in small squares and place in a deep cassarole dish.
Drizzle olive oil (about a tablespoon) in a large skillet and heat on medium. Add Celery, onion, salt and pepper. Cook until onions and celery start to become soft (about 7 minutes, stir occasionally). Add in the apple, garlic and raisins. Cook until they too become soft (another 7 minutes, stir occasionally). Pour the broth over mixture and sprinkle in the sage, cook about another 5 minites, stirring frequently. Then place the stuffing mixture in the casserole dish and toss with the cornbread pieces pour the water over the mixture.
Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes.
This made for a very light stuffing. I also tasted a couple of the pieces of cornbread before it hit the mixture and it was quite delicious ;)
Enjoy ;)
Enjoy ;)

I am so in love with my 30-acre Wood. I've always adored this particular piece of land, always found it to touch me somehow. But the more time I spend on it, the more I never want to leave it. I am a little confused and baffled by how good I feel just being on this piece of land. I'm not disturbed by this, just struck.
The place is full of treasure and treats. I found this little nest today at the base of this sagebrush. The nest is barely two inches in diameter, and the seeds that line it are the same as those in some grasses that had grown up through the sage, so I'm deducing that the nest had been built in this bush.
The bush itself, my brother says is a real sagebrush plant, and I have found only one other (tiny plant) on my 30 acre wood. This sagebrush is a very decrepit and gnarly plant, but I love it.
So, and anyway. I found the wee nest while I was carrying a couple of chairs from my "summer house" over to the place I've chosen as the future site of the building that will be my art studio. I selected the site last summer/fall, but have been visiting it a different times to see how things change there seasonally–most importantly, the path of the sun and how the light arrives on the site.
I tromped around and placed some broken-off tree limbs at the possible corners of my building. And then I stood for awhile looking. And then I sat and thought.
But my jeans were soon damp from sitting on the ground, which is when I decided to bring over a real chair so I could sit some more.
Which I did. Staring at the trees and watching the clouds and occasionally walking the pretend perimeter of the future studio. (By the way, I am not building a house, because I'm not up for spending thousands of dollars to install a septic system and dig a real well.)
By the time I left (only because I was too hungry to stay), I was pretty certain that the site I'd chosen last year is indeed the site upon which I want to build. To the south, there is a stand of aspen among tamarack and fir. To the east, the rock hill rises, and the sky is lovely in the mornings. To the north, tall, old fir trees, which will provide some shelter from winter cold and wind. And to the west, a view to the rock mountain across the valley, all framed by old aspen and young fir trees.
Overall, the site allows light and has lovely views all around, yet is tucked back off the open areas so a building won't be glaringly visible from other parts of the woods. And, there will be some protection from the wind that likes to howl sometimes on this little mountainside. Also important, is that the neighboring hillside that some ass-hat clear-cut, is not readily visible. It's a sweet spot.
Now, to see if my contractor (my brother :) approves of the site.

Through intense physical experience we will enter an intimate process involving memories and perceptions of our own life and the life of our ancestors. We will blend real stories with fictional ones in order to balance imagination with reality, truth with deception. It is an opportunity for those who are wishing to cross other personal borders and find out how to get the most out of it towards creating theatrical actions and unique forms of storytelling. The workshop is open to all participants regardless of theatrical or movement experience.
How deep can dance take you into yourself? How often do we realise that we repeat things that our parents, grandparents and earlier generations passed onto us? We move like our mothers, we touch like our grandfathers… Would we dance the same way to the music they danced to? And how would they dance to the music we listen to today? In this new workshop we will allow each other to go deeper into traces of traditions inside of us.
In the Dance of Likeness workshop, we are referring to traditional dances and music along these themes. The rich traditions will be used as an initial ground floor for our workshop journey. The traditional dances and songs confronted with our postmodern society will meet in one open pot. What can be the outcome? We are looking forward to encounters with a wide spectrum of traditions brought by participants themselves. We will meet in a place where our body and voice grow in their freedom and limits, in their spontaneity and calculations, in their chaos and order, on a journey towards a deeper understanding of ourselves.
This work session is targeted towards practitioners with an interest and experience in theatre, dance or physical performance. It is open to both professional actors and dancers willing to explore less common fields of physical expression. This challenge requires serious focus and precision from all engaged in the work.
The workshop will be held in English with Matej Matejka, Sam Alty and members of Studio Matejka. As the practice is based on the platform of listening and communication through the body and intuitive experience, verbal explanation will be kept to a minimum.
If you interested or know someone who might please spread the information.
Places are limited so get in touch quickly!
Application closing date: 17 September
Contact: Sam: email@example.com

I know lots of webmasters and SEO gurus that say that PR (google pageRank - the little green bar on the google toolbar) is not worth that much but everyone is using it as a measure.
Webmasters refuse to exchange links with you if they think your PR is inferior to their website's PR. Lots of programs (reviewme.com ...) could reject your site because of low PR, some directory owners display the list of sites ordered with PR.
So ... here is some simple steps you can follow to get your sites PR higher than it is and maybe get some extra traffic while you are at it.
- Post your link in forums using signatures and/or places that allow website reviews, put the site url in the signature with your target keywords for titles
- Submit to free and/or paid directories (in general the younger the directory the easier would be to get accept it in it)
- If you have other sites put sitewide links pointing to your new website. If sites are totally unrelated subject, put the links in the footer with small letter (the link still counts).
- Put your link anywhere you can, without becoming a spammer (everyone hates spammers)
- Find some high PR sites and pay for a link if you have to. There is lots of projects on the internet that accept donations as low as $50 and they put your link in a high PR page. For example moddle donations page has a PR of 6 http://moodle.org/donations/.
- Using your link in comment posts. This won't necessarily increase your PR but it could give you a few visitors if nothing else.
For the record world experts net has been almost abandoned, unfortunatelly due to lots of things in my head and currently looking for ways to rebuild it into something new.
So no matter what some say, PR is in our lives and its worth something. I can describe it better with a metaphor, you don't need an Armani Suit but if you wear one people look at you differently. But, PR by itself is not going to get any money for your site, but having it will help get some extra attention, or better deals.

The Woolwich-based ringleaders of a £6 million scam to exploit illegal workers in Erith have been jailed for a total of six years.
Anthony Okoh, 45, and Victor Chiazor, 50, ran security firm Blue Feathers Guarding Ltd, based in Veridion Way in Erith, using the company as a front for employing illegal workers.
Okoh, of Floathaven Close, Woolwich, and Chiazor, of Nightingale Vale, Woolwich, charged full rates to contractors but paid their illegal workers £3 an hour, often on 24-hour shifts.
Employees were unable to complain to the authorities as doing so would have revealed their illegal status.
The Home Office's south London criminal investigations team, supported by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), raided Blue Feathers' offices in October 2012.
They searched the premises and discovered a large amount of forged identification documents.
Officers arrested Okoh and Chiazor, along with four other directors.
Two were acquitted during the three-month trial at Woolwich Crown Court, while another two will face a retrial.
Okoh was found guilty on February 12 of conspiracy to facilitate a breach of immigration law, contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1977, and using unlicensed security operatives contrary to the Private Security Industry Act 2001.
On Friday (March 14) he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years for the first charge and two years for the second, to be served concurrently.
Chiazor, was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 18 months in prison for count one and three months for count two, also to be served concurrently.
Hannah Shirley, from the Home Office's immigration enforcement criminal investigations team, said: "These two men duped contractors out of millions of pounds in illegal working wages and ruthlessly exploited their employees, preying on their immigration status in the UK.
"It was a cynical attempt to circumvent immigration rules but, working with our partners at the Security Industry Authority, our officers smashed their web of deceit.
"The custodial sentences handed down today show the Home Office will relentlessly pursue and bring to justice those who seek to cheat immigration laws."
Ayinla Alhaji, 53, of no fixed abode, who was employed by Blue Feathers, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and illegal immigration.
The court issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to turn up for the trial.

Do you use cloth diapers? Have you ever used cloth diapers? We want to hear from you. Our 2012 Cloth Diaper Pulse Survey is collecting responses from 3,000 participants (moms, dads, caregivers, etc) about their cloth diaper habits.
The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete and will ask you all sorts of questions about your family and your cloth diaper preferences. We know that all families are created differently so please pardon us if a question is not worded for your family – just answer it the best you can. All questions must be answered for the results to be collected.
Why US only? We had some participants ask us why we don't want their opinions if they live in Canada or in another country. While your opinions are certainly valuable we are looking for cloth diaper trends in the US since that is who the bulk of our customers/friends/fans are.
What will we do with the results? You can review the results of the 2011 Cloth Diaper Pulse Survey to see what we found out last year. We'll be publishing the official report and white paper in early August to let companies, manufacturers, media sources, and customers know what the current trends are in the cloth diaper industry (according to your results).
Once 3,000 unique individuals have completed the survey the survey will officially close so that we can calculate the results. We look forward to hearing from you about the survey and reading your responses.
Please feel free to leave your comments, suggestions, and tips in the comments section for suggested improvements or general questions. Don't forget to share the survey link with other families who have used cloth diapers.

I want to step back from the controversy over Libya and take a look at one definition of what foreign policy is, or rather what its broader purposes might be. Then I want to make a small point.
The other day I came across an extract from a debate that took place in the British House of Commons in July 1864. Benjamin Disraeli, the future prime minister, was arguing that the government's policy in Germany and Denmark was a failure and deserved Parliament's formal censure. In damning Westminster's mismanagement, he drew a pretty good, broad-strokes picture of what a great nation's foreign policy might look like.
First the damning. "Do you see," Disraeli asks, "the kind of capacity that is adequate to the occasion? Do you find . . . that sagacity, that prudence, that dexterity, that quickness of perception" and that mood of "conciliation" are necessary in the transaction of foreign affairs? No, he suggests, you do not. All these characteristics have been "wanting," and because they are wanting, three results have accrued: The policy of Her Majesty's government has failed, England's "influence in the councils of Europe has been lowered," and that waning of influence has left the prospects for peace diminished.
He stops to define terms: Regarding influence, "I mean an influence that results from the conviction of foreign Powers that our resources are great and that our policy is moderate and steadfast." He seeks the return of a conservative approach. "I do not mean by a Conservative foreign policy a foreign policy that would disapprove, still less oppose, the natural development of nations. I mean a foreign policy interested in the tranquility and prosperity of the world," one condition of which is peace. England should be "a moderating and mediatorial Power." Its interest, when changes in the world are inevitable and necessary, is to assist so that the changes "if possible, may be accomplished without war; or, if war occurs, that its duration and asperity be lessened."
Disraeli's censure motion would narrowly fail and in the end not matter much. But there's something satisfying and refreshing in his clear assertion of basic principles, of beginning points for thinking about foreign policy. A nation, to have influence, must be understood by all to be both very strong and very sober. Prosperity and tranquility are legitimate goals, peace a necessary condition. And there's a paradox as great nations move forward in the world: In order to have a dramatically good influence, you must have a known bias toward the nondramatic, toward the merely prudent and wise. A known bias, that is, toward peaceableness. And here is my small point.
All this speaks to something I think we have lost the past 10 years—the generally understood sense in the world that the U.S. has a known bias toward the moderate and peaceable. I don't here argue or debate the many reasons, the history, or the series of actions that have brought this about, only to note: It was a lot to lose! I think we want to get it back, or try to re-establish a good portion of it. Because there is great benefit in seeming to be a big strong nation that is unroiled, unruffled and unbattered by the constant high seas of the world. Passivity isn't an option, and what's called isolationism is an impossibility—we live in the world—but we are too much taken by the idea of dramatic action. We've become almost addicted to it, or that our presidents have.
* * *
There are always many facts and dynamics that prompt modern leaders toward dramatic and immediate action as opposed to reflection, serious debate, and the long slog of diplomatic effort. But are we fully appreciating that our media, now, seem to force the hand of every leader and require them to decide, move and push forward?
The bias of the media is for action, passion and pictures. It is television producers and website runners who are the greatest lovers of "kinetic" events. They need to fill time. They need conflict and drama. At CBS News years ago there was a producer who called the film, as it then was, of a military or street battle "the bang-bang." The bang-bang was good for a piece. In a good minute-30 report there would be the stand-up opening by the correspondent, the statement of the besieged ruler or the aggrieved rebel, the map with arrows, the bang-bang, and then the closing summation. It was good TV! It is still good TV, and there is more TV than ever.
Every president has to know now that if there is fighting somewhere in the world, if there is suffering somewhere in the world, and the U.S. does not become involved, the scandal of that lack of involvement will become an endless segment on an endless television show full of endless questions. Why the inaction? Why are we doing nothing?
It should be noted that we are fighting now in Libya not because of mass slaughter but because of the threat of mass slaughter. Let's say what the president's supporters can't say and his opponents won't say: If the slaughter had happened, those pictures would have been very bad politically for the president.
Our foreign policy is increasingly driven by the needs of television programmers. I think I'll repeat that: Our foreign policy is more and more being dictated by the people who do the rundowns for TV news shows.
A president who "does nothing" in the face of trouble, who does not respond to the constant agitation of dramatic videotape on television and the Internet, is called weak. He is called cowardly, dithering, unworthy. He is called Jimmy Carter.
So he and his administration feel forced to share the media's bias toward action. No longer are leaders allowed to think what previous generations of political leaders knew, or learned: that when 10 problems are walking toward you on the street, you don't have to rush forward to confront them. It's wiser to wait because, life being messy and unpredictable, half the problems will fall in a ditch or lose their strength before they get to you. The trick is to handle with dispatch ones that do reach you. The talent is in guessing which ones they might be.
I know that this particular challenge to foreign policy sobriety is not new and is in fact at least 30 years old. But with the proliferation of media and technology, it is getting more intense. It will never lessen now. It will only build.
There ought to be a word for something we know that is so much a part of our lives that we forget to know it, we forget to see it, and yet it has a profound impact on the world we live in. We forget to fully factor it in, or we do factor it in but don't notice it is a primary factor.
Every leader now must know the dynamic and be an active bulwark against it. He will have to discuss why we cannot allow our nervous, agitating media to demand our involvement in every fight.
A president has to provide all the pushback. Republicans should keep that in mind, too. They'll have the White House soon enough. Some of their decisions will be at the mercy of television programmers too.
