Serving Beaverton, Oregon
Do you own your own home? If your home has "central air" or a "home comfort system", you will need the services of a professional Beaverton Hvac Contractor. HVAC is an acronym that stands for "heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning". It is also known as "climate control". Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning help to better the quality of indoor air, control the temperature and air flow throughout your home. Whenever there is an issue with your home's indoor air - whether it is too hot, too cold, or too stuffy, your Beaverton Hvac Contractor can help.
The way a Beaverton Hvac Contractor controls your home's air flow is quite simple. A series of air ducts are installed throughout the building, delivering a continuous supply of fresh air as long as the HVAC system is turned on. This air may be warmed (for example, by a furnace) or cooled (by an air conditioner or outdoor cooling unit), or it may be the air within your home being filtered and recycled to prevent rooms from getting stuffy. Your Beaverton Hvac Contractor will determine what size HVAC system you need, and install all of the necessary equipment.
While most people understand the meaning and purpose of home heating & cooling, the modern need for effective ventilation is grossly misunderstood. Anybody who steps into your house will instantly be exposed to all the smells, smoke, dust, moisture, and airborne bacteria circulating inside your house. A professional Beaverton Hvac Contractor can install a system for removing 'polluted' air outside of your home, as well as helping to circulate the air within. Adequate ventilation can prevent disease, improve the quality of indoor air, and keep your house smelling fresh. A Beaverton Hvac Contractor can discuss the different types of mechanical and forced-air ventilating systems with you, and find one that exactly fits your needs.
Determining the size of the system your home needs is an important first step before you buy. An experienced Beaverton Hvac Contractor uses many different factors to decide what is best. These include the size and type of your home, walls, and windows, whether your home has insulation (and, if so, the type and density), the condition of your basement and attic, and whether your home is oriented towards or away from the sun. Several times, the Beaverton Hvac Contractor is assisted in these calculations by computerized systems. This helps them to precisely calculate each room's heating and cooling needs.
You may be thinking this sounds counter-intuitive. You might think a Beaverton Hvac Contractor should be motivated to sell you the largest, most expensive, most impressive HVAC system available. In fact, this wouldn't help your Beaverton Hvac Contractor out at all! A system that is too large for a home will work fast, but might not remove enough moisture from the air as it works. This means the air intended to cool you off will leave you feeling sticky and humid instead. This could lead to potential mold problem or the generation of harmful bacteria inside your home!
A large system will also turn itself on and off several times. This is called "short-cycling", and it will cause your system to break down quicker, as well as placing a hefty increase on your heating and cooling bills. Likewise, a system that's too small will run itself down very quickly, simply because it can't heat or cool the entire space - it would be running constantly in an effort to do so. Therefore, selling you the biggest system would complicate not only your life but also that of the Beaverton Hvac Contractor. They would frequently have to attend to needless service calls and faster-than-normal breakdowns. Since a professional Beaverton Hvac Contractor relies largely on word-of-mouth for their jobs, treating each customer right and getting them the best system possible is their goal.
You should contact a qualified Beaverton Hvac Contractor any time your heating, cooling, or ventilation system is not working as desired, but in particular, there are several times when you need service ASAP. During days of extreme temperatures, if your heat or cooling goes out, it could pose a health hazard. Instead of risking the health of your family, get in touch with your Beaverton Hvac Contractor and have them take a look at the problem.
In the event that you use an outdoor heat pump, check on it regularly during the winters to make sure that it hasn't sustained any damage. Excessive ice or snow build-up can cause the pump to stop working or even freeze solid. Your Beaverton Hvac Contractor can check on it whenever you want and clean it and keep it in proper working condition. Regular checks can prevent the need for major repair and complete replacements.
The Beaverton Hvac Contractor who installed your ventilation system can service it too. Bacteria, dust, and fungus can collect in your home's ductwork over a period of time, leading to aggravation of asthma and allergies. When the ducts are in use, they can also cause the dust to be blown into the home, increasing your workload for cleaning your home. Finally, regular duct cleanings by a knowledgeable Beaverton Hvac Contractor helps your entire home heating & cooling system run smoother, lowering your bills and extending the equipment's lifespan.
Get a reliable Beaverton Hvac Contractor to inspect your entire HVAC system two to four times a year. Tune ups in spring and fall prepare your system for the summers and winters and adjustments during the off seasons keep your system running in peak efficiency. The health of your HVAC guarantees the comfort and cleanliness of your home. A system kept running in an efficient manner, with low strain, will keep your heating and cooling bills low. Your Beaverton Hvac Contractor will be happy to prepare your system to run at its best when you need it most.

DOVER — If you're going to snap a losing streak, what better way to do than to beat your rival.
The Dover High School girls soccer ended its four-game skid with a 2-0 win over rival Spaulding Friday. Grace Murphy netted two first-half goals to lead the attack as the Green Wave improved to 3-5, while Spaulding (1-7) lost its fourth straight game.
"We had a really good short game and we were really pumped up for the game," said Murphy, who played in Friday's 1-0 loss at Nashua South, but was not feeling well. "I think we were just ready for it. We really wanted to win, so we just put all we had into it."
Dover dominated the first half and the lead could well have been 4-0 or 5-0. Murphy netted her first goal in the seventh minute when a loose ball bounced inside the 18. Murphy won a foot race to the ball with Spaulding goalie Ali Watkinson and a defender and touched it into the goal for the 1-0 lead.
She added her second goal in the 28th minute, placing a shot from the right inside the 18 to the left corner for the 2-0 lead.
"I just sort of kept going in the box," Murphy added, "because you have to. You have to try and score a goal, especially when you're that close."
While Murphy was able to strike paydirt twice, teammates Lauren Morrison, Sami Countryman and Emma Johnson were not so lucky. Morrison put a point-blank blast right into Watkinson's gut, while Countryman's rocket from the top of the 18 hit the top of the crossbar. Johnson had a great opportunity in close but blasted it just wide.
Watkinson played well in goal for the Red Raiders with eight saves. Nikki Peskovitz earned the shutout for Dover, stopping two shots. Dover's defense, paced by the play of Courtney Williams and Lexi Gottlob, turned in a solid effort in front of Peskovitz.
"They came out right off the whistle and moved the ball well" said Spaulding coach Brandon Albert of Dover. "They put pressure on the ball where they needed to, and just did a lot of things right, and we didn't. "
Spaulding found some second-half life, particularly in the final 10 minutes when it moved a player from the back up to forward and tried to press the issue.
In the early going, Dover almost put the game out of reach, hitting a post and Johnson following with a shot that caromed off the crossbar and to Watkinson, who held on to prevent the ball from rebounding to the front of the net.
The Red Raiders had three corner kicks in the final 10 minutes. Ashley Proulx and Allison Proulx each had a quality shot at the goal. Ashley's was deflected and Peskovitz made the save, while Allison's hard shot from the right went just wide.
Dover coach Connie Roy breathed a sigh of relief as her team ended a skid that included three one-goal losses.
"We've been in all the games," Roy said. "I'm talking one-goal games. We've been one point off in all these games; close, but not quite there. They've been working really hard at practice. Second half wasn't quite as strong, but in the first half they were doing a lot of the things that we've worked on. The ground passing game, combinations working off one another. The headers were much better today. It was pretty exciting to see them applying what we've been working on at practice to the game."
Dover plays at Merrimack Tuesday, while Spaulding hosts Goffstown.
Murphy gives Dover needed lift

Forum Backs Kline's NCLB Bill, But Calls for Revisions
In a statement delivered to key leaders on Capitol Hill today, the Forum on Educational Accountability (FEA) gave mixed reviews to bills filed by House Education and Workforce Committee chair Rep. John Kline to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
Kline has recently released the final two pieces of his reform agenda designed to replace the widely criticized and decade-old No Child Left Behind federal education law, writes Ben Wolfgang at the Washington Times.
The FEA's work is based on the Joint Organizational Statement on NCLB, now signed by 156 national organizations, which sets criteria for overhauling the controversial law.
And now the FEA has publicly voiced its support in principle for the bill, which calls on states to develop their own teacher evaluation systems, which must include assessments of instructors' classroom leadership and their students' academic achievement, within three years. But not without its own reservations.
The FEA statement said:
"We applaud some of the steps Mr. Kline proposes in the âStudent Success Act' and the âEncouraging Innovation and Successful Teachers Act. However, we have serious concerns with other important parts of his legislation.
"Rep. Kline's bill largely perpetuates the over-reliance on testing. It would remove science testing as a mandate. But the bill negates this modest reduction by requiring the use of test scores to judge all teachers. This will greatly increase the amount of testing and exacerbate the major problem of teaching to the test.
"Rep. Kline proposes what could become an unfunded mandate for states to create extensive evaluation systems, and requires significant use of student standardized test scores in that system. There is a lack of research on the positive results, cost or educational efficacy of such evaluation systems."
The FEA has criticized Kline's bill for being insufficiently specific over its plans to improve schools where students still underachieve.
"The new ESEA should require state and local plans to ensure that the lowest performing schools engage in an improvement process rooted in real evidence of how to turn schools around," the groups wrote.
"Turnaround plans themselves should be flexibly adapted to the needs, strengths and conditions of each school. They would begin with a comprehensive evaluation of a school. District and school would then craft a strategic plan that addresses core elements of successful schools. These include effective leadership, strong curriculum and instruction, collaborative professional development, a safe and supportive school environment, and active parent, caregiver and community involvement."
In summary, the FEA has called for Kline to revise the proposed bill:
"Such a bill can be truly bipartisan in that it will reduce overly intrusive federal requirements on assessment and accountability, but provide meaningful guidelines and requirements for improvement across the range of key school areas.
"It will satisfy civil rights calls to focus on equity while removing requirements that have proven to hinder, not help, school improvement, such as excessive testing and unreasonable accountability. It will genuinely strengthen local authority while ensuring states and localities do not abrogate their responsibilities for equity and quality in education."

So this Thanksgiving I say thank you and look forward to yourguidance and knowledge in helping me illuminate my light for others to shine.
I saw Rachel when I was struggling to start my consulting business. I had a lot of self doubt and esteem challenges. I didn't have a focus on what to do next because I was blinded by my fears and anxiety. Rachel really took the time to know me. She was able to help me focus on my strengths and reminded me of what I was capable of doing. In my short time with Rachel, she helped me gain clarity on my personal and business directions. She's compassionate and wise and gave me some great recommendations on resources to help with business. I highly recommend working with Rachel Greenhouse Consulting!
At Sonny's Ice Cream, we've been so busy in the kitchen focused on our craft thatmarketing often gets put in the back freezer.
Rachel gets us. She helped us cut through the overwhelm we felt in updating ouridentity by asking the right questions and guiding us to clarity. Like an alchemist,she took our ingredients and turned them into something Phenomenal.Rachel's exceptional team is now creating a dynamic social media presence for us sowe can keep everyone updated on what is going on in the Sonny's kitchen.
Rachel is a joy to work with! Her work is impeccable and her dedication to bringingout others' brilliance is a standout talent.
When I started my own business I knew I needed (and wanted) a professional logoand a beautiful and functional website. I had tinkered on and off with building myown website and quickly learned the scope of my ability. It was time to hire aprofessional. I put the question out on Facebook for referrals and would you believetwo of my clients had worked with Rachel? It was meant to be.Rachel and I started with branding exercises and the development of my logo and Icouldn't be more pleased. She captured my fun nature but also managed to weaveall aspects of my business into many beautiful designs, logos, and a catch phrase. Iuse these images every day in my email newsletters, on my Facebook page, andwhen I design content for clients. She hit it out of the park.Rachel took these beautiful designs and created a website that I am able to use andupdate on my own. This was huge for me. I am a blog writer, a content creator, and Ihold a lot of events. I wanted to share my ideas with the world through my website.Through her layout I am able to keep the same webpage structure and add my owncontent. I have received so many compliments on how clean, professional, andbeautiful my website is.www.lindseyheisermancoaching.com
When I first started my chiropractic practice on 56th and Chicago Avenue, I wasvery fortunate to be introduced to Rachel Greenhouse. Before I met Rachel I wasclueless as to what I needed to do to market my clinic effectively and within a monthof working with her I felt at ease and knew that things would be going in the rightdirection from here on out! We initially needed to design a logo and pick out ourclinic colors. She made it so much fun and things were very exciting in the beginningwhich drove me to continue marketing and perfecting our systems at MFNC.
My clinic design, website design, and even my new Jeep Wrangler all vibe in a way thatmakes patients feel comfortable and at ease when they step into our office. Ouroffice is beautiful and I could not have done this without the help of Rachel. One yearlater we are still working together and taking things to the next level.
We havedeveloped a niche concussion rehab site, revamped my main clinic page, designedbusiness cards, done events, Facebook ads and flyers for specific events.
Rachel, I am now helping more patients than ever and more people are finding out about our services at MFNC! Thank you!
Rachel has a unique way of putting all your hoping, feeling and dreaming about your business into a design and look. She reflects this across your website, written material, social media, image - everything! Every touch point you have with a client gets the magic Rachel quality.
People feel it.
When I launched my private practice I knew what I wanted to do and the clients Iwanted to work with. My problem was that it was all in my head and would comeout in a flurry of words that made sense to me but who knows what others heard. Iwanted to be succinct and clear. That's where Rachel came in. I hired her to help mefind clarity and direction so I could communicate what I have to offer to the rightaudience.
In therapy, it's critical clients feel a connection with me. I need to feel thatconnection to myself as a business owner. Rachel helped me do just that. She gaveme homework that challenged me to think about who I am and how I want to usethat in my business. I felt connected more to who I was, what I was trying to do, and my overall message. Rachel used her innate skills to recognize and point out who Iam and how it can be used in my business identity.
I love how far we've gotten and am looking forward to uncovering more!
Rachel practices what she preaches. In an environment when it seems like everyone is a consultant of something, Rachel stands out from the rest!
I found and contactedRachel based on her business card and website. Her branding speaks volumes about self promotion- which was exactly the motivation I needed to help jumpstart the 'overdue' online presence for my film.
Rachel is a driven woman who will help you set and reach your goals. I was in a space where I felt like I could't possibly create a website on my own (and make a feature documentary film). After I met with Rachel, I felt relaxed and relieved. She talked me through the process and helped refocus my vision. Rachel's patience, flexibility and creativity made the final product a success!
Working with Rachel and her creative and attentive manner is resulting in a clearvision and activated transition in my business! My new brand reflects the creativehealer that I truly am, including artwork created by me, which reflects my passions.
I have felt supported and understood throughout the process, and am now in thefinal stages of realizing my new website. I continue to gain confidence and pride invisualizing, describing, and realizing my newly formed life as an artist/healer from knowing and working with Rachel.
Rachel can put together both a strategic & marketing plan and is great with oursmall business!
Rachel has the unique ability to reach into your Entrepreneurial soul and pull out abrand that communicates it with the world.
Working with Rachel was wonderful…great branding and website process—sheallowed me to come in with a strong vision, and was able to translate that into abrand. I had some specific layout and format requests, and if she didn't alreadyknow how to make my request a reality, she learned how. I guess that's the thingthat impressed me the most.
It's one thing to be a good designer and just create something with minimal input, and it's another thing to have LOTS of input from a client and make it all cohesive. Can't say enough good things!
Rachel operates at a soul level. She understood my rather unusual business at adepth I didn't expect. She combines her many skills of intuition, beautiful design,technical ability, and resource knowledge to create a marketing plan and websitethat captured my vision better than I ever imagined. And working with her is likebeing with an old friend –engaging, comforting, honest and wise. You'll want her tobe in your life forever.
Rachel knew what questions to ask and how to get an understanding of me and whatimage I want to convey for my business. Then with excellent creative and artisticskills, she created a logo that I love and am proud to share. Her calm, professionalmanner is consistent and very easy to work with. She is very good at what shedoes!
Rachel knew what questions to ask and how to capture the image I wanted toportray for my business. 100% satisfaction!
I absolutely love working with Rachel! She did a fabulous job creating my logo andmy website. She really made a point of geing to know me and my business so shecould create a logo that truly fit my business' personality. She is very kind, fun andalways open to suggestions that I had.
I still work with Rachel on an ongoing basis, she creates beautiful marketing material for my business and she does so in a verytimely manner! She is willing to help me at the drop of a hat. With running a verybusy business, I appreciate this so much!
She is truly a professional and really cares about helping small businesses succeed. Thanks Rachel!
Rachel inspired me to dig deep and open up to the true purpose of my vision andwhere I want to take my business. Her encouragement allowed me to reach into my own vulnerability in order to help potential clients clearly understand who I am, my philosophies, my approach and what I offer that sets me apart.
Rachel's insights have helped me develop a business strategy that provides clarity in my goals, and her expertise helped me leverage my strengths. She has been professional and thoughtful and made me feel as though I was her only focus.
I needed help to create a logo and website for my new business. I now have a beautiful logo that I can proudly show when I talk about the school and the website is great. I had heard good things about Rachel and she was friendly, smart and easy to work with. I appreciate kindness, good communication and excellent work. I found all three.
I felt that my online presence did not reflect my identity or offerings. Since we have started working together, things are more in alignment and flow, my message is clearer. Rachel was interested in the insides of my business. I feel confident sending my website link to people now.
Rachel Greenhouse and her staff were fun and easy to work with. Their professional guidance and feedback were helpful in guiding us through our website and business design.
Before working with Rachel and her team, we didn't have enough time or the right skillset to tackle the marketing updates we knew we needed to reflect how our business had grown.
We chose RGA because they are small business oriented and have a strategic and creative perspective that is different from ours. With their team's support, we have updated our logo, website and sales packet, and we have an aligned brand strategy. Their clear recommendations and ability to move projects forward resulted in the achievement of our goals. They handled everything from start to finish and we are very happy.

The latest toy I purchased is the infamous "138M-4.4G USB SMA signal source/signal generator/simple spectrum analyzer", which is sold on eBay for 50-70 Euro with free shipping from China.
I was curious about this device, as I did not own any spectrum analyser with a range up to 4.4GHz and for this price it was worth the risk!
So what is this device all about? To make it short, it is a Chinese clone designed by BG7TBL of the NWT500 (more information here: http://www.dl4jal.eu/hfm9.htm). Stepping on the design of the NWT500, many clones arose, like the NWT4000, developed by BG7TBL, also. The name is the game and the major difference is the frequency ranged covered.
These devices were created for amateur radio enthusiasts to tune their antennas, so the NWT500/NWT4000 feature two SMA ports. One acts as an output for the integrated signal source, while the other acts as an input for the spectrum analyser.
There are several options for the NWT500/NWT4000 like integrated attenuators.
The "138M-4.4G USB SMA signal source/signal generator/simple spectrum analyzer", however, while looking exactly like the NWT500/NWT4000 is nothing but a cheap rip-off! It only has one ADF4350 chip, while the NWT4000 has two. This means that the device can EITHER read a signal on the input port or generate a signal on the output port. Despite the included SMA cables, you simply cannot connect the output port to the input port, as you will fail to see any signal.
The good news is that the device is not useless at all, at least to me. Also, bear in mind that the cheapest NWT4000 costs more than four times as much as this cheap model.
Once I understood all of this, I wondered how useful it was as a spectrum analyser. And indeed, it works! I could use it to see the whole frequency range from 138MHz up to 4.4GHz. Ideal to check on CATV, SAT, LTE, etc.
But, the included software made by DL4JAL for the original NWT-series was not nice to use for my applications. So I made my own software.
Here are a few pictures, hope you like it!
Continuous mode:
- It will continuously sweep the select frequency range. The number of samples can be selected (100 to 1000).
- Two markers allow easy zoom and give information about the bandwidth.
- A waterfall graph will allow monitoring of the signal.
Single Mode: This will swipe the selected frequency range only once.
This pictures shows the Portuguese TDT transponder at 854MHz, to the right is the LTE transponder.
The complete CATV frequency range. Notice both analogue and digital transponders.
Finally, the SAT frequency range. Here is a picture of Hispasat 30.0W:
The same satellite in continuous mode with waterfall display:
The big question you are wanting to ask: How fast is the spectrum?
The answer: Not very fast. It takes about 3 seconds for 500 samples, which produce a very detailed view of the spectrum, though. This is not a real-time spectrum, but it is faster than a scan made with CrazySat on a supported card.
Also, even professional meters will struggle to display the full CATV band in a real-time spectrum. The SMA Simple Spectrum Analyzer will take the same 3 seconds for the whole supported bandwidth of 138 MHz up to 4.4 GHz, This is quite astonishing!
Finally, a screenshot of the signal generator tab:
Nothing fancy: just select the desired frequency and the signal is available on the SMA output connector. The precision is quite good. Nice for calibration work!
Hopefully I will be able to implement further functionality, like automatic satellite recognition by pattern analysis.
Drop me a message if you are interested in a copy of the software.
Interested in trying out this software - please look at this much more recent post:

Forgot the encrypted backup password and can't restore your iPhone?
Restoring a backup from an old iPhone is an effective way to transfer all your data and settings to the new IOS device. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forgot your password, your data will be unrecoverable.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to crack iTunes backup password with brute-forcing tool.
iTunesKey is one of the fastest password cracking software that allows you to unlock iPhone backup with brute-force recovery, mask and dictionary recovery. The program makes use of existing AMD and NVIDIA video cards on your PC to speed up the recovery. Let's see how to use iTunesKey to recover your lost iTunes backup password easily!
Find Your iTunes Backup
Before cracking the password, you need to find where your iTunes backup is stored. By default, local backups are stored in the following folders:
- OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/{backup_id}
- Windows 10/8/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\{backup_id}
Inside the backup folder there are several interesting files that will provide information about the device. The root of the backup folder will contain the status, info and manifest plist files. But the only one needed for password recovery is Manifest.plist.
To start, download and install iTunesKey on your local computer. When iTunesKey was launched, click the browse button to import the Manifest.plist file located in your iTunes backup location.
Recover iTunes Backup Password
The next step is to choose the recovery method: Brute-force attack, mask attack and dictionary attack.
- Brute-force attack: Try every possible combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to crack a password.
- Mask attack: Try all combinations from a given password pattern just like brute-force, but more specific. It's extremely useful if some of the characters are known.
- Dictionary attack: Try a list (dictionary) of known or commonly used passwords. Generally, dictionary attacks succeed because many people have a tendency to choose passwords which are short and easy to remember like superman, harrypotter, etc.
Usually we starts with the dictionary attack and mask attack first, and if it fails he moves to the brute force attack. The brute force attack is the slowest method, but can often be successful on short and simple passwords.
For this demonstration, I have protected my iTunes backup with the password 8692, and use brute-force to try all possible combinations of lower-case letters and numbers. iTunesKey can found my password in seconds with GPU acceleration.
What to do if you forgot your iTunes backup password? This should be the easiest way to recover password for your encrypted iPhone backup. Once you've found the lost password, you can choose to turn off iTunes backup encryption.

7 Memoirs For When Life is Murky
It seems a lot of people I've talked to lately aren't where they want to be. They're waiting. They're grieving. They're fading. They're doubting. They're caught between where God has promised to lead them and where he has them for now, and it's hard, brutally hard. They ask me what they should do and I tell them all the same thing: Trust, obey, and do the next thing, all the while remembering that God writes straight with crooked lines. Then I point them to one of these memoirs and say, "See."
If life has you in the weeds today, or any day to come, may these pages remind you that there is something strong and worthy and intended for good in every messy, meandering story. Even yours.
And Still She Laughs: Defiant Joy in the Depths of Suffering by Kate Merrick
For years Kate Merrick was known simply as "Daisy's mom." But there was nothing simple about the crooked path she began walking in 2009 when her 5-year old daughter was diagnosed with a Wilm's tumor. In the excruciating aftermath of Daisy's cancer and death, Kate struggled to find a way to live fully, faithfully and joyfully amid overwhelming pain. And Still She Laughs is Kate's gorgeous, gutsy, sassy account of how she found hope, humor and wholeness in the wreckage. Pick it up immediately, especially if life has you in a grief tailspin. First, though, note this disclaimer from Kate:
"I've been notified that some readers have put the book down sometime in the first two chapters because it's so sad. Well, friends, there can't be true happy without some terrible sad. 'Though sorrow may last through the night (or the first two chapters), joy comes in the morning.' If you can get through the first 2 chapters, you'll find encouragement, sass, sunshine, TMI, and all kinds of other things that will make you glad you pressed on! Plus, there's a poop story involving a pair of corduroy pants :) You're welcome."
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
If you like memoirs that read like fiction, this one will take you for a ride. In it we meet Susannah Cahalan, a New York Post reporter who literally loses her mind and undergoes $1 million in tests before anyone can diagnose what happened. As if that weren't enough, Susannah remembers nothing when she recovers. Brain on Fire is what she discovers about her "month of madness" by reviewing her medical records, watching hospital security videotapes of herself, and interviewing friends, family, and her medical team. Crazy, I tell you. And such a good read.
"Sometimes, just when we need them, life wraps metaphors up in little bows for us. When you think all is lost, the things you need the most return unexpectedly."
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jaqueline Woodson
I put off reading this for forever because I was afraid of it. It's written in free verse, so I assumed I either wouldn't like it or wouldn't understand it. Wrong! Two pages into Jaqueline's reflections on growing up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, and I was cursing myself for waiting so long to pick it up. Brown Girl Dreaming is easily the most beautifully penned memoir I've ever read. Every page is a gift and marvel. Truly.
"The empty swing set reminds us of this—that bad won't be bad forever, and what is good can sometimes last a long, long time."
Every Bitter Thing is Sweet by Sara Hagerty
If the bitterness of any kind of loss is a fresh taste on your tongue these days, then this memoir might be the palate cleanse you're thirsting for. From allowing God to turn the bitterness of unmet desire into new flavors of joy, to finding His nearness when life breaks, Sara leads the way through her own story of spiritual and physical barrenness.
"Every dark place has its redemption in Him."
Hope Heals by Katherine and Jay Wolf
Hope Heals is Katherine and Jay Wolf's remarkable retelling of Katherine's recovery from a massive brain stem stroke. It's a story of irreparable loss, unrelenting love and the God who entered into both.
"Over the past seven years of this saga, I have learned to do many things well—to wait well, suffer well, cope well, persevere well, and even to lose well. Our culture tells us to succeed, be beautiful, avoid pain, and be happy. What if everything important in our lives is actually the opposite? Maybe it takes life being undeniably terrible before we can truly recognize its undeniable splendor."
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
This is a fascinating, moving read for entrepreneurs, leaders and anyone who has ever owned a calling (or a pair of Nikes). If chasing a dream or building a business has you one bad day away from calling it quits, Phil's story will keep you running. Bonus: If you have a Nike-wearing tween or teen in your life (or one whose English teacher is requiring more non-fiction reading this school year), point them in the direction of this version adapted for young readers. Mine inhaled it.
"We wanted, as all great businesses do, to create, to contribute, and we dared to say so aloud. When you make something, when you improve something, when you deliver something, when you add some new thing or service to the lives of strangers, making them happier, or healthier, or safer, or better, and when you do it all crisply and efficiently, smartly, the way everything should be done but so seldom is—you're participating more fully in the whole grand human drama. More than simply alive, you're helping others to live more fully, and if that's business, all right, call me a
businessman. Maybe it will grow on me." -Phil Knight
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
All I can say is that this one gives me chills and pause every time I recommend it. One day neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi was treating the dying. The next day he was a patient struggling to live with stage IV lung cancer. In the midst of it all, he started writing this book. "When Breath Becomes Air," his publisher says, "is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both." Know this: The epilogue by his wife will annihilate your tear ducts. Brace your nasal passages, too. You've been warned.
"This was the life he was given, and this is what he made of it."

The KS Project is looking forward to promote the use of Web-based collaborative tools. To do so we need to share easy-to-understand resources. One good example is this series of short explanatory videos, developed by Common Craft (http://www.commoncraft.com/show), which "goal is to fight complexity with simple tools and plain language". The series contains so far videos on Social Bookmarking, Social Networking, Wikis and RSS.
It is interesting from the content perspective: The Institutional Knowledge Sharing (IKS) pilot project on Best Practices for Research Data Management (RDM) will use a wiki to develop a RDM cookbook. But it is also of interest from a process perspective: The use of short videos, downloadable from the Internet, which can be used for a variety of objectives, explanatory like in the Commoncraft series, or for marketing like in the "Storymercial" IKS pilot project.

Library statistical report for Jan/Feb '09 has landed in my office mailbox. Circulation for the media collection, DVD, VHS, CD,& audio-cassette combined is down year-to-date and quarter-to-date by about 9%. Public-access PC usage is down by an astonishing 20%. But print circulation is up by a healthy percentage, (Sorry, didn't bring it home and don't remember the exact figure).
Couple of possible reasons for the Media dip; the aging of our VHS collection, the shocking attrition of the DVD and CD collections from damage and theft. But there is also a drop in the need for physical media formats. Music and video are increasingly downloaded online. How do we maintain ourselves as a "content-provider" for non-print media?
Public-access PC's are increasingly needed only for their printing capacity. For everything else, the wireless laptop reigns supreme. In fact, our offline word-processing PC's showed an increase in usage. Checking the shelf for a phone-request this evening, I heard a gust of laughter from one of the study carrels. He was watching something on his wireless laptop.

Who doesn't love the crunch of a handful of pecans? If this is one of your favorite nuts, you'll be happy to know that April 14 is recognized as National Pecan Day. This is the perfect day to start snacking or to use the nuts in a favorite recipe or two. Today is a fun national day for foodies.
Many of the national and international days of the year have an association with food in some way. Are you confused about what national days are? Find out more in my National Days Guide.
National Pecan Day has been celebrated since 1996. It was first started by the National Pecan Sellers Association. The nut is so popular that the whole month of April is also know as National Pecan Month.
Fun Pecan Facts
Pecans are a healthy nut. The nut has a lot of antioxidants as well as many vitamins and minerals and heart healthy fats. Pecans are low in cholesterol and sodium and high in protein. They are known to have many health benefits. Here are some fun facts about pecans.
- Over 80% of the pecans used around the world come from the United States.
- A pecan tree has both male and female flowers on the same tree and these are wind pollinated.
- The word pecan comes from an Algonquin Native American word that describes nuts which require a stone to crack them open.
- San Saba Country in Texas has proclaimed itself as the pecan capital of the world. This might be doubtful, since Georgia is the production leader!
- The average recipe for pecan pie uses almost 80 pecans.
- A pecan is not actually a nut. It is a drupe, which is a fruit with a single stone or pit that is surrounded by a husk.
- Pecan trees can live for 200 years but you only get a heavy crop of nuts every other year. The alternate years are lighter.
- If you are looking for fiber in your diet, eat pecans. A serving gives you about 11% of your daily fiber requirement. Pecans are also one of the most nutritious nuts and are widely used in baked goods.
- The handles of the torches for the 1996 Olympic Games were made from the wood of Georgian pecan trees.
- The pecan tree has been the state tree of Texas since 1919.
- The calories in pecans is 694 for a cup of pecan halves.

In the aftermath of the 1960s riots that ravaged the community, a group of African American investors from North Omaha rallied to invest in technology, and for many, to invest in their home neighborhood. Pulling off a coup, for almost a decade, North Omaha was home to Nebraska's first radio station and a former bastion of white middle class American culture. Except now it was the home of the city's Black pride, empowerment and culture.
Nebraska's First Radio Station
In 1922, WAAW became the first radio station in Nebraska. In 1939, the Omaha World-Herald bought it and the station took the letters KOWH. Playing mostly country, in 1949, Omaha's famous Storz family bought the station. Robert Storz owned it, while his son Todd Storz was the general manager. In that position, the station pioneered the Top 40 / pop radio format for Omaha. In 1964, after Robert and Todd Storz died, the station was sold to the University of Nebraska – Omaha to become Nebraska's first college radio station.
Then in 1970, a group of African American investors teamed up to buy KOWH. A 1970 JET magazine article reported that the company, called Reconciliation, Inc., had 21 Black investors, many with local roots, including NBA star Bob Gibson, NFL star Gayle Sayers, and NBA star Bob Boozer, along with a few white investors. The station played jazz, R&B and soul music, and reportedly reached 70,000 African Americans in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. Showing its ties with real-time community leaders, Charles B. Washington was integral in the founding of the station, too.
Buying the station was a coup for Omaha's African American community. As Nebraska's first radio station, it featured country, folk, western and other music popular with white people. After World War II, it literally profited off middle class white culture, which relies on conformity and familiarity, by churning out pop music as the city's first Top 40 station.
Then, as if it couldn't get any whiter, KOWH became a college radio station at UNO. In its early years, college radio was notorious for playing obscure, innovative and almost confrontational music, including punk and new wave, alternative rock, and indie rock. Could it get any more white?
First Black Radio Station
Bought with support from the United Methodist Community Center Wesley House, with the executive director of that organization, Rodney Wead, leading the charge. The Ford Foundation underwrote the station for several years, and the ownership team chipped in money to keep the station afloat.
With its strong team of investors and important backing, early on the station seemed well-positioned for success. However, even though it looked like a business, KOWH generally ran like a community service.
The first station manager was Robert Nichols, who moved to Omaha from South Carolina. A Minnesota record producer named Jack Harris was hired to become the first program director at KOWH in 1970. Years later, Jack recalled Bob Gibson offering him the job to convert the station from what it had be and to run it as a soul station. This move marked the end of Harris's innovative Minneapolis-based music label, Black and Proud Records. However, his initial leadership was a boon to North Omaha. With few people of color hired to work anywhere else in Omaha's mainstream media, KOWH provided cultural connections for the community that few other media sources were capable of offering. Jack ensured quality with every broadcast.
On-air personalities at KOWH in the 1970s included Program Director Don Davis; Music Director Erven McSwain; Production Manager Buddy King; Community Service Director Herman Pearson; Gospel Director Ed Mims; DJ The Magnificent One; and Traffic Director Beverly Blakely. According to native North Omahan Allice Brown, DJ McSwain was substitute teacher in her class at Kellom Elementary. At the age of 22, Kathy Hughes began her career in 1969 at KOWH. Afterwards, she built a company called Radio One, and today is an international powerhouse leader in the media industry.
The station played a variety of music. Its early program manager, Harris, said "We're primarily concerned with becoming the community voice of 100,000 Black people in the greater Omaha market, but we're just as cognizant of the fact that soul music is not all Black. Let's face it, a lot of Top 40 stations play soul music because it builds audiences and is an integral part of the whole music business. We're going to do the same thing the Top 40's are doing – we're going to play pop records."
The morning started with a jazz program, and went pop afterwards. In the evenings, there was soul music and more. The station also had a Black community director, focused on sharing news for the city's African American population. In the late 70s, it was still adding new jazz programming under the leadership of German Womack, the program manager at that point.
Close to the Edge, Then Gone
Radio programming including music, news and community events for Omaha's Black community had never been done before. KOWH was the first of its kind, and some argue that even today there has still never been another radio station in Omaha that played music primarily recorded by African Americans.
Despite it's good connections within the community and beyond, the station faced struggles. In his 1994 book called Stranger to the Game, Bob Gibson wrote, "I don't think I understood the full meaning of the word bigotry until I tried to sell advertising time for KOWH." His evidence was personal, as he found that, "Almost none of the established businesses would buy from us and they searched hard for reasons not to."
In 1979, KOWH was sold from underneath the staff to a country station. Given six months to raise the money to match the country station's offer, the community couldn't meet the demand and the station was sold. Gibson and his partners sold the stations to RadiOmaha. "As the principal investor in KOWH, I had been operating at a personal liability that was eventually too much to handle," Gibson wrote.
Those nine years were vital for North Omaha. The community's fabric was torn up white flight in the late 1950s and early 1960s, then scarred by the riots in the 1960s There were no community leaders strong enough to keep it together. KOWH was essential because it served as the communication lifeline for North Omaha. Coupled with the destruction of 2,000+ houses for the construction of the North Freeway and the aftermath of the riots of the 1960s, the loss of the station was nearly a mortal blow for North Omaha.
In the 35+ years since the loss of KOWH, no radio station has been as relevant or meaningful. Several have tried in a variety of ways, but today North Omaha is rudderless in this area.

Meditation on the Sources of Magnificent Desolation
I was trying to conjure your last irradiated face.
It was what it might have been to be alive, but gently.
It was what it might have been to be awash in Implacable.
The belfry of the soul gobsmacked as tulips.
I wish I could write to you, but the glimmering gangplank to
the cerulean world has since been lopped off. Here: some horse-heart
a slightly-more-grown-baby has incandescently crushed
& a rosebush in the shape of a human hand. Otherwise, no sudden changes.
Suppose I could recover the prescient salt of every year
you have been witness to. The fortunate thunderclap of first to final
glance in the mirrored ceiling of an elevator. Suppose I could lift
the penultimate veil of Then you slipped behind.
Its hush-colored, yes. I am never any closer to saying
what I mean: Love is a remarkable habit. Someone has plucked flies
from the air like diamonds. Someone has kissed
your mouth so as to partially erase it.

Rubber Soul
Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa was suspended seven games this season for corking his bat. Maybe Slammin' Sammy should consider golf, a game in which hiding stuff inside clubs is increasingly common. The latest examples are the Precept Tour Premium EC603 irons ($536, steel shafts) and Nickent Genex ARC wedge (above; $119).
In each, elastomer rubber (blue in photo) replaces steel inside the clubhead. The rubber absorbs impact vibration for softer feel and increases perimeter weighting to keep off-center hits in the ballpark. And these sticks are perfectly legal.
Holey Rollers
Help is here for frustrated flatstick fighters. The Zen Oracle Tour and Cameron Cube provide instant feedback to help straighten out your putting path. Because it can release the ball from its clutches in either forward or reverse, the Zen ($160; 866-752-9936) gives readings of your backstroke, forward stroke and clubface angle at impact. (It doubles as a USGA-conforming putter.) The Cube training aid ($29; www.scottycameron.com is forward-discharge-only, but it sticks to your own putter and costs a fifth as much as the Zen.
Pre-Owned Power
Straight from TaylorMade's fitting carts come slightly used R510, R540 and R580 drivers for $160 to $225 each, depending on condition — up to two-thirds off the original sticker price. Each features a wide COR zone to boost distance on heel and toe hits. Quantities are limited. To order, click the "GOLF MAGAZINE Best Deal" icon .at www.3balls.com.

Why Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Is Becoming a Common Treatment for Foot and Ankle Pain Relief
Tremendous breakthroughs are being made in treatments for foot and ankle pain relief. The doctors and staff here at American Foot and Leg Specialists are proud to be able to bring many cutting-edge treatments to our clients from Fulton County, Cobb County, Douglas County, Fayette County, Henry County, Clayton County and the entire South Atlanta Metro area. One of the innovative treatments that we're especially proud to offer at our offices is PRP Platelet Rich Plasma injection therapy. You may be wondering if this type of treatment could be effective for addressing the foot and ankle pain you're experiencing. Take a moment to learn about what this treatment is all about and the potential benefits that it can offer.
What Are PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections?
PRP is actually made from a patient's own concentrated platelets. You may already know that platelets are the small cells within the blood that prevent clots when we bleed. What you may not know is that PRP is rich in growth factors for human cells. This means that PRP plays a big role in stimulating healing. PRP that is injected into the body can help to alleviate many painful symptoms. In addition, it can actually promote healing in a natural way.
How Do Injections Work?
A small amount of a patient's blood is drawn when they show up for a PRP treatment. That blood is then spun at a high speed and the platelets within the blood are concentrated. This concentration of platelets is then injected in the area of the foot or ankle injury that is being treated. The number of injections required will depend on the nature and severity of the injury being treated. Patients can often expect both pain relief and healing benefits following a treatment. The fact that the PRP used in this type of treatment is obtained from a patient's own blood greatly reduces the risk of reaction or infection.
What Happens After a PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment?
PRP treatments don't require a long recovery time. However, the actual instructions that you receive for your recovery period will depend on your specific injury. Some patients do experience mild pain or irritation near the area of the injection in the days following a treatment. You may be asked to limit activity or keep weight off of your foot and ankle following your treatment. It is also possible that you'll be required to wear a cast or brace for a few days following your treatment.
Are You Wondering If PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections Could Work for You?
The staff here at American Foot and Leg Specialists would be happy to meet with you at any of our four locations in Fayetteville, Forest Park, Locust Grove or Stockbridge to tell you more about PRP Platelet Rich Plasma treatments and help you discover if this is a good option for you. This is an option that may work for athletes suffering from sports-related injuries or non-athletes seeking relief from arthritis or general foot and ankle pain.

text: (Bloomberg) -- The West Bank's leading pollster found a small group of Palestinians willing to give President Donald Trump's approach to Middle East peacemaking a chance..The other 90 percent interviewed by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research agreed with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that the Trump administration is hopelessly biased in Israel's favor. Six percent said the billionaire American leader could be an honest peace broker. Two-thirds reject an idea, reportedly being considered by Trump's peace team, for the West Bank and Gaza Strip to become part of a confederation with Jordan..The poll of 1,270 Palestinians was released a day before the 25th anniversary of the landmark Oslo peace accords that Israeli and Palestinian leaders signed at the White House. Efforts to bridge the conflict have slumped to one of the lowest points since the 1993 agreement after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December and moved the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv..Trump also has cut financial support to the Palestinian Authority, slashed aid to the United Nations agency serving Palestinian refugees and proposed changing the criteria for refugee status in a way that would reduce the rolls to about 500,000 refugees, down from 5 million..The White House actions are "deconstructing, dismantling, totally destroying all the components of peace," Palestine Liberation Organization official Hanan Ashrawi told reporters Wednesday in Ramallah..This week, the Trump team announced it was closing the Palestinian diplomatic mission in Washington over what it described as Palestinian leaders' refusal to engage seriously in peace efforts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. for its "correct decision.".Ashrawi said the Palestinian leadership was weighing its options, including ending security discussions with the U.S. Asked if the peace process was at its lowest point since Oslo, she went back further, to the time of Israel's birth: "This is the lowest point since 1948," she said..To contact the reporter on this story: Jonathan Ferziger in Tel Aviv at firstname.lastname@example.com contact the editors responsible for this story: Lin Noueihed at email@example.com, Michael S.

When comparing Twitter (Official) vs Plume, the Slant community recommends Twitter (Official) for most people. In the question"What are the best Twitter clients for Android?" Twitter (Official) is ranked 3rd while Plume is ranked 6th. The most important reason people chose Twitter (Official) is:
So you know it will always be supported and won't be randomly shut down.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Officially sponsored
So you know it will always be supported and won't be randomly shut down.
Pro App experience similar to web experience
If you're switching from using the web client, this app will be quickly understandable to you.
Pro Gets the latest API updates
Twitter is slightly infamous for making changes to the API. At least with the official client, you stay ahead of this.
Pro Clean & Functional UI design
Pro Inline photos
Pro Multiple account support
Allows easy switching of accounts withing the app.
Pro Supports login verification
The official Twitter app is perhaps the only app to support two factor authentication or login verification, thus providing a necessary additional layer of security to your Twitter accounts
Pro Photo editing tools
The app has filters, automatic level balancing and ability to crop built in the app.
Pro Multiple account support
Allows easy switching of accounts withing the app.
Pro Color-coding
Allows color-coded lists and users.
Pro Mute functions
Hides a persons tweets from timeline without unfollowing them. Can also mute words and applications.
Pro In-app browser
Plume has a built-in browser so you can view linked content without having to leave the application.
Pro Real-time notifications
At the expense of more battery consumption you can tell Plume to "livestream" updates so you get notifications of events as they happen.
Pro Photo & video previews in timeline
Embeds photo and video previews in timeline.
Pro Multiple picture host support
You can upload your picture to a selection of hosts. Among them Twitpic, Plixi, Posterous, and MyPict.me.
Pro In-line image viewer
Embeds images in timeline.
Pro Tablet support
Same application works on phones and tablets.
Con "In case you missed" feature, showing tweets other users liked in your timeline
Features (can't be turned off) that disrupt chronological timeline and/or show sames tweets repeatedly.
Con Promoted tweets
AKA ads.
Con Too many permissions
Asking a lot more permissions than most third party apps.
Con No widget
Recently took away the widget for whatever reason and that's not cool.
Con Pretty heavy
If you're on a "available-space" budget, the official twitter app is pretty bulky and you'll be better-off with a more lightweight alternative.
Con Lack of ability to view tweets in a proper timeline
Con Terrible cellular data management
If you have a limited data plan for your phone, don't be surprised if you find a whopping 800 MB consumption at the end of the month. The app really, really wants to download absolutely everything, even if you don't want to see or play anything.
Con Forced inside Twitter's annoying ecosystem
You can also pay $4.99 for Plume Premium that removes the ads.
