Pyrus maxi. Please read the following instructions carefully so that you can become acquainted with the functions of this product and its use. Current product information can be found at the TrekStor website http://www.trekstor.de. Other products and accessories are available at www.trekstor-onlineshop.de. Digital Ink® technology When using the Digital Ink® technology, the illustration of text or pictures is adopted by a "digital ink". The display is passive: It does not light as conventional LCDs and consumes energy only when loading or flipping a page. This achieves a very long battery life time. Once set "digital ink" remains until the next image build-up, i. e. the last displayed page remains visible, even if the eBook Reader is already switched off. A "burning-in" into the display is not possible with Digital Ink®. 6 2 About your TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus maxi TrekStor eBook Reader Pyrus maxi is a reading device for displaying electronic books and texts.

The Leftovers
9:00 pm 26 September 2011
On October 14th, a large number of people up and disappeared. No one really knows what happened as it defied all explanation. Some were determined to label it The Rapture but as the author is quick to point out, it wasn't purely Christians. As it happens, it appeared to be random selection. The novel primarily follows one family and how each person moved in different directions following the event.
The Garvey family eventually falls apart in the aftermath of "The Sudden Departure". Kevin stays on as mayor of their small town. His wife, Laurie, ends up joining a cult-like group named The Guilty Remnant who's only purpose is to dress all in white, constantly smoke cigarettes and stare at those who chose to ignore that the end of the world is on its way. Their two kids, Tom and Jill, drift apart. Tom begins to follow a self-proclaimed healer named "Holy Wayne" who promises to take away the pain of any survivors and Jill befriends a delinquent student named Aimee as she begins partying it up and neglecting school.
Perrotta really grabbed me when he named a select few notable people that vanished. Among the missing: Adam Sandler, The Pope, Vladimir Putin and Shaq! That's pretty much where it ends in terms of focusing on the tragedy on a grand scale as Perrotta quickly began concentrating on the reactions of the key characters. At one point, Perrotta says of Tom,
That was the obligatory question. It seemed important, though it was hard to say why. No matter where the person was when it happened, the location always struck him as eerie and poignant.
When you're talking about people vanishing while watching videos on YouTube or working out at the gym on an elliptical machine, it gave it just enough of a creepy feeling.
It's easily one of the strangest post-apocalyptic novels I've ever read (if you can call it that, which I chose to). Not in the sense that it was totally out there but that the author chose not to spend a whole lot of time explaining the cause or the impact globally. He also neglected to weave religion into the story in any heavy-handed way. Instead, he created the event to let these characters shine through. While not complex, they were refreshing to read in their simplicity. It probably has a lot to do with his easily digestible prose – keeping me up all hours of the night and what-not.
If not for the ending, I could see giving maybe 4.5 stars. I've read a few reviews where people are more than satisfied with the end result but it just didn't settle well with me.

Volunteers Offer Swimming Classes
Volunteers to Holy Cross Anglican School from St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades, California taught swimming classes all last week. Almost 50 Island children participated in this program and learned vital water survival skills. The group stayed at the Tides and the management there graciously offered their pool and dock for swimming lessons. Classes were held each morning from 9am until 11:30am with a mid-morning snack served by the volunteers.
Saturday morning was the culmination of a week of fun and learning as the First Annual Swim Meet was held. Prizes were awarded and all participants received new bathing suits and delicious ice cream cones from Manelly's.
Another team from St. Matthew's will be in San Pedro offering swimming classes from Monday, August 3 until Friday, August 7th. Monday is reserved for adults who would like to learn how to swim. Classes are free for all children in San Pedro.

text: Ok, I solved it...Suggesting the tunl0 device was very helpful, thanks Ted. It didn't solve italone but led me to a solution.The kernel patch below would not stop the problem with loopback, but it did stopit with tunl0...Somehow loopback manages not to really have IFF_NOARP set while tunl0 doesautomatically (or some problem that looks similar).With a tunl0 alias and this patch, if you run arpwatch and also "tail -f/var/log/messages" you will see the kernel attempt to arp_send the tunl0interface/ip addresses but the patch catches it and complains.Oddly, the version of ifconfig I'm using, (net-tools 1.51,ifconfig 1.39(1999-03-18)) doesn't allow -arp on tunl0 (it has it naturally apparently) butdoes allow it on lo, where it doesn't really work (or showup in ifconfig's).This patch is not permanent but should be applied until the real problem is foundin loopback's processing in the kernel.*** 2.2.13pre6.orig/net/ipv4/arp.c Mon Sep 13 00:47:35 1999--- linux/net/ipv4/arp.c Sun Sep 12 23:38:11 1999****************** 427,432 ****--- 427,433 ---- struct sk_buff *skb; struct arphdr *arp; unsigned char *arp_ptr;+ struct device *dev_real; /* The real device this ARP is for, if not dev */ /* * No arp on this interface.****************** 434,439 ****--- 435,459 ---- if (dev->flags&IFF_NOARP) return;++ /*+ * If this ARP is for another device that doesn't want to arp,+ * honor that also.+ */++ {+ char cbuf[320];+ sprintf(cbuf, "%s arp_send: src_ip: %s, dest_ip: %s\n",+ KERN_INFO, in_ntoa(src_ip), in_ntoa(dest_ip));+ printk(cbuf);+ }+ dev_real = ip_dev_find(src_ip);+ if (dev_real != NULL && dev_real != dev)+ printk(KERN_INFO "arp_send is called with another device's address\n");+ if (dev_real != NULL && dev_real != dev && dev_real->flags&IFF_NOARP) {+ printk(KERN_INFO "arp_send is called with another devices address thatdoesn't want to arp\n");+ return;+ } /* * Allocate a bufferSee http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org for details.LinuxDirector scripts I use now, not cleaned up yet, but working (addressesrandomized):#!/bin/sh#rc.ipvs_drdirector# Modified from the example rc.ipvs_tunserver example.# 13Sep1999 Stephen D.

Die Anwendung des linksventrikulären Kreislaufunterstützungssystems Novacor als Überbrückung zur Herztransplantation
Part of the Langenbecks Archiv für Chirurgie book series (DTGESCHIR, volume 1993)
Conference paper
Application of the Left Ventricular Assist System NOVACOR as Bridging for Heart Transplantation
The electromagnetically powered Novacor left ventricular assist system was used in 4 patients suffering from decompensated heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation. All patients could be significantly recompensated during mechanical circulatory support with respect to hemodynamics, hepatic, pulmonary, and renal function. Because right heart function did improve, as well, the use of the Novacor system seems to be useful even in patients with biventricular heart failure.

This image is a phenomenal cosplay by foxybcosplay, and you can see other images from this photo shoot and more of Brooke's work on her deviant art page.
As anyone who has played the game can probably tell, this post is about Anders. Or, more specifically, how my Hawkes always seem to end up flirting with him during every playthrough, even though I have beaten the game and I know how it ends.
If you haven't played Dragon Age 2, then beware, because this post contains spoilers for the entire game, from the early quests, right up through the final boss fight.
Leave now, if you're going. No? Ok. Moving on.
I always fall for Anders. I fell for him on my first playthrough, and I just keep doing it. I have romanced Fenris as well, and I like him fine, but due to his amnesia and lyrium tattoos, it usually feels more like I'm hurting him than making his life better. I have not romanced Isabella or Merril because I'm not interested in a lesbian love story, personally. The point of including romance options in a game is to allow the player to experience a fantasy relationship, so I think it's fine for players to stick to the character or characters who most appeal to them personally, provided that the character is an option for the player; I'm looking at you, Dorian! *sigh* Our love was never meant to be.
Sorry. Different game. Moving on.
Anders is great. I liked him since we met in Dragon Age: Origins- Awakening. (How does one punctuate that?!) He was snarky. He was a spirit healer. He had a cute little half ponytail and an earring. He accepted the kitten I gave for him. He named that cat Ser Pounce-a-lot. He moved his mouth when Ser Pounce-a-lot meowed. He was a spirit healer.
His healing magic and my insanely damaging magic worked together seamlessly. We may have been able to solo some of the battles if I could have forced him to stay hidden behind my plate-armored battlemage. (Maybe not, but man did Solona have some very crazy AoE spells that could all be stacked and centered on myself so that all of the enemies would aggro on me and run into the circle and die. Good times.) In any case, he never left my party because he was so valuable. I heard all of his banter, and I was a bit sad that my warden couldn't flirt with him.
So he showed up in Dragon Age 2, and I was sold. Before buying the game. Anders is going to fall in love with my Hawke. Done. So we flirted.
He's funny and still cute. He's sarcastic and when we first met, he was healing someone, even though it looked like the spell was taking a toll on him. A selfless, handsome man who wants to make this broken world a bit better, live freely, enjoy a good laugh, fall in love, have a pet cat, and shoot just a bit of lightning at fools… that's not a bad package, to be honest. Anders is a great guy.
But he stupidly let himself be possessed by a demon… spirit… supernatural being somewhere on the continuum between embodying a vice and a virtue. And it's Justice, from Awakening. Why, Anders? Why didn't you just talk to Solona about this? We could probably have made him into a golem or something! Why?!
So, here in Dragon Age 2, Anders is… sometimes, he's the funny, wonderful man I like, and when there is danger or he gets too emotional, he's a glowing, superpowered angry abomination. It… makes our relationship difficult. But I believe him when he says that he didn't know what would happen. And I always feel a bit better when I am able to talk him down from his rage, because his feelings for me are strong enough to break him free from the possession for a while.
When we get towards the end, and he starts asking me for really sketchy things- weird chemicals for Tevinter magic and distracting the leader of the Chantry while he sneaks around the cathedral- I don't like it, but I trust him. I want to trust him. If he's telling me the truth and we can separate Anders and Justice so that I can live with this man without his demon, then, I want to do that. I will do anything. So I did.
Imagine my horror when Anders blew up the cathedral with all of the people inside and showed … well, I was going to say "no remorse," but he is remorseful. He just sits there, dejected, because it was the only way to change the system. He sits there and tells me that he's sorry, that hates himself for this, that I can hate him, that he will let me kill him if that's what I have to do.
I loved him! (Well, Hawke loved him.) I gave a key to my house's basement so that he could hide from the people hunting him. I supported him when he was sad, angry, or frustrated. I came with him to investigate possible crimes against mages. I took side quests to help more mages escape. I trusted him to do his business without me looking over his shoulder. I even listened to him and went along with the sketchy requests.
So, there I was, accessory to the largest terrorist attack I know of in the Dragon Age universe. I thought you loved me, Anders! I thought I was a bright light that made your dark life worthwhile! How could you do this to me?!
So, why do my Hawkes keep choosing him?
It's simple; I still like him. I still love bantering with him, hanging out with him, questing together. I still believe that mages should be allowed to have families, join the military, serve in hospitals, create art, work as craftsmen, farm the land, and live freely, as long as they do not threaten or endanger innocents. If they act like bandits, we kill them like bandits. If they live like peasants, we let them live in peace, and we protect them like we would protect anyone else.
So Anders is usually with me, since he is a healer, and I make pro-mage choices, so he naturally likes me. Add in his humorous wit and pleasant company, and it's just something that happens nearly every time. I just keep letting him tear my heart out, though I will say that for me (the player), it doesn't hurt so much any more, since I know that it is coming, and I can prepare myself for it.
I still just wish that I could enter the fade and kill Justice/Vengeance, then Anders and I could live together. It could have been something wonderful.

LAKE MARY, FL – Talk about living life in the fast lane, George Zimmerman just got stopped again for speeding. Shortly after Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, he was stopped for speeding in Texas. That time, he had a gun in his car too.
At least this time, zoomin'-Zimmerman was in Florida, and, other than the ones attached to his hands, there were no arms in the car. But he still got a $256 ticket for going 60mph in a 45mph zone.

For my swift and niddy noddy:
(My niddy noddy disassembles into several small pieces for storage.) I made both from a fulled thrift store sweater. I love teh shade of green, and how the light green ribbon matches!
This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for.

text: I sometimes get notifications in the middle of the night from my website, twitter, and so on. I even get some of my overseas clients calling me when I should be asleep. It's not their fault, they just don't know that I am in New Zealand. I used to switch my phone to silent, but it would still buzz. I was looking through the Settings the other day and I can accross Do Not Disturb. This feature allows you to schedule the Do Not Disturb so that your iPhone or iPad does not ring or buzz after a specific time. I set this up on my phone the other day, and when a client rang me at 3:30am, I did not get woken up.

Gold and Roses re-rallies in Times Square
Game efforts by two horses that surrendered the lead in midstretch only to come back and win highlighted the run Sunday at Aqueduct.
In the $150,000 Times Square Division for males, Gold and Roses battled back along the rail under Shaun Bridgmohan after being headed by Big Apple Daddy to win by a half-length. Big Apple Daddy held off favored Galloping Grocer by a nose for second.
Gold and Roses took the lead from the pace-setting Summerland leaving the three-furlong pole, but Big Apple Daddy was right to his outside and looked ready to go by. Though Big Apple Daddy put his head in front, Gold and Roses had something left. Trained by Tom Bush, he covered the mile in 1:36.05 over a track labeled fast.
"He was all heart," Bridgmohan said. "Big Apple Daddy attacked him from the half-mile [pole] and he kept digging in. It was a very gutsy effort and a good job by Tom Bush."
In the $150,000 , Pretty Suzi gave up the lead to favored Dynamo Hum in upper stretch and came back along the rail to draw clear to a 2 1/4-length victory. It was 7 3/4 lengths back to Ms Litigator in third.
Pretty Suzi showed tremendous courage for a filly making her third start. She dueled through four furlongs in 44.71 seconds, was passed by Dynamo Hum in upper stretch, but re-rallied under Pablo Fragoso to win going away. She covered the mile in 1:36.75 and returned $14.40 to win.

I think my favorite part of the cake is actually the map...hand painted to give it an old feel and then hand painted the lettering and "X marks the spot" Love the way it turned out. This was a last minute addition that I thought up as I was making the cake.
Back of the chest.
Thanks so much Jennifer! I hope Andruw enjoyed his cake...I sure had fun making it!

Today we accomplished:
1) Reinforcing the trailer with steel beams, we were able to rent a welder from Home Depot.
The welder
4) Painted Rustoleum on the new weld spots to protect from corrosion.
This was my first time ever welding, and I loved it! Sam and Kyle did the majority of the welding but by the end I took over and made the last few welds. It turned out great and all the welds look really good.
Next step is to finish painting the trailer, put on some lights, and take it to the DMV to get a home-made trailer title. Because we changed the weight capacity and structure of the trailer, we will need to get it re-licensed.


text: We're going camping this weekend. We are voluntarily giving up our comfortable bed, convenient bathroom (complete with delightfully hot shower), and custom-designed kitchen for a leaky air mattress in a small tent, a pit toilet down the path, a sponge bath, and a two-burner Coleman stove. Afternoon thunderstorms are likely, but at least they'll settle the dust and bring some relief from the heat. There will probably be mosquitoes, and maybe even bears. We'll spend a day getting ready to go, and another day putting everything away again, all for two nights in the mountains. We must be crazy. Continue reading

Steve quickly redeemed himself by finding some back roads and took us on a wonderful ride all the way to Goulburn. A wrong turn somewhere on the approach to town and we found ourselves at the Goulburn bakery, eating custard tarts and asking "how do we get out of here?" In between making cups of coffee, the manager drew us a mud map on a paper pie bag and our passage was made easy.
As we approached Oberon we came across a nasty piece of road works. They had just laid thick gravel all over the road and then proceeded to escort us to the other side before the dirt had been compacted. I tried to ride in the thin tyre track made by the escort ute. I felt myself tensing up every time Devil crept into some of the thick stuff. I managed to keep going but the escort vehicle was going too slow for Dwarfie (R1200GS) and he had to stop, ankle deep in mud. I haven't been so pleased to make it through a stretch of road words for a long time.
The towns high up in the mountains are beautiful and Oberon was no exception. We made tea, and watched the world go by while we sat on a park bench right in the middle of town. Unfortunately we couldn't stop for long as we were heading to Katoomba and there was still some riding to do.
As we rode on, the views of the Blue Mountains in the east were simply stunning. I kept saying "wow," and when I considered how close we were to Sydney I said "wow" again.
|Katoomba, misty one day, raining the next.
Lithgow was soon just a dot in our rear view mirrors and we were on the road to Mudgee. We turned off towards Rylstone and the quiet back road was a delight to cruise along. At one stage we came across a horseman mustering a herd of cattle. Devil slowed to a crawl and I felt a swell of importance when the cows seemed to think I was part of the muster team and they moved obligingly to the side of the road. The run through the Goulburn River National Park was slow but rewarding and it was 3pm before we arrived in Muswellbrook. A quick pit stop and we were back on the road again for the nonstop ride to Tamworth. Half an hour before sunset the tent was up, the weather was dry and we were happy.
|The mandatory stop at the Golden Guitar.
While we were looking for things to do in the Tamworth Visitors Centre, Steve spotted a poster for our favourite comedian. Ross Noble was performing at the Town Hall on Sunday night. We bought tickets ten rows from the front; amazing. Why Ross plays in such small venues could be something to do with the DVD market. I'm sure the Tamworth Show will be available in store soon.
|The Tenterfield Saddler.
By now daylight saving seemed to be a distant memory and we missed the longer evenings immensely. Living in a tent we prefer to have the daylight at the end of the day rather than the beginning. The beauty of the high country had brought with it bouts of mist and showers and the summer weather we had enjoyed so much seemed to be gone forever.
We like to avoid rain on ride days and we left Tenterfield with a smile on our faces and a clear forecast up our sleeve. All the Australian states seem to have quite distinctive architectural styles and nothing is quite as striking as the beautiful Queenslander houses. As I ride on by I like to dream about a romantic life on the land.
|Bald Rock National Park.
When the clouds gathered and a few spots of rain appeared on our visors, Steve pulled over and said "what do you reckon?" We chose not to put on our wet weather gear and five minutes later a short, tropical shower made us realise we had made an error of judgement. Steve stopped again and we both agreed that our gear would blow dry in no time at 100km hour. The only trouble was we kept riding in and out of the same rain cloud as the road twisted and turned. By the time we reached the day's final set of road works we were soaked through. Once again the tent was full of wet clothes trying to dry out; next time we'll be wearing the wet weather gear.
On Monday 15th April we will leave Kingaroy, the peanut capital of Australia, and ride to Maryborough for the Ulysses AGM; motorbikes and friendship – we are looking forward to that.

I've seen "Interstellar": Wow.
Though it can be a cliché in some cases, the term "thrill ride" applies perfectly in this Christopher Nolan film as a crew of astronauts tries to save humanity by finding a replacement for our dying planet.
Because the leader of that not-so-merry band is played Matthew McConaughey, full bore whether his Cooper is piloting a space ship or chasing a drone through his corn field, the acting keeps pace with the amazing look of the film.
Whether they're on an ice-covered planet or fighting the increasingly dense dust storms on the dying Earth, Nolan's film is a dazzler.
Yes, it borrows from other movies before it, from "2001" to "Gravity," the use of human-sounding robots and in-space crashes feeling familiar but fitting in the action here.
But McConaughey is in charge, Jessica Chastain is her typically solid self and Anne Hathaway, while not inspired, is up to the challenge of being a wing-woman.
There are a few quibbles.
Though the action is stellar and compelling, they could have snipped a half-hour or so from this movie that runs nearly three hours.
The ending is a bit wonky, though some may find the bending of time thing interesting.
Some might find the beginning the slowest part of the film, though in showing the slow demise of the planet and its atmosphere on Cooper's farm, the connection between Cooper and his daughter (Chastain, as the older Murphy) is solidly made, an important thing later in the film.
We also see there that Cooper, while adjusting well to the farming live, has his heart up in the clouds, where he once served as an astronaut before Earth's problems seemingly cancelled the flight program.
Once he connects with the NASA in hiding, the film takes off and never slows until the credits.
It's impressive in ways we've never seen before so settle in, prepare yourself for acceleration and hold on.

Get Ready for a BIG surprise!!!
Sara had just gotten a bath prior to our arrival at the transition home on day three. Here is what we saw:
I didn't even recognize her at first. I asked where Sara was and Tim said - she's right over there. I had never seen her with her hair down (and BIG) and it just threw me off. Isn't she absolutely beautiful?
We had an absolutely amazing time playing with her on this day. She smelled so good (finally)! I grabbed her and hugged her and just loved on her for as long as I could. She will tolerate the lovin' for a bit, but then she wants to get down and play. She is VERY active. From what I can tell, she only likes to snuggle when she is tired.
Her hair is very soft. It is very thick though as well. And talk about curly. I have not a curl on my head and Cameron's hair is so short, who knows if there might be a curl in there somewhere... I doubt it though. Anna's hair... as straight as mine. I don't think you can find 1/2 inch of Sara's hair that is straight :) It will be interesting to see how I learn how to take care of it.
While we were there, the nannies put her ponies back in. Who would have thought there could be such a transformation. She doesn't even look like the same kid - but honestly, I think she is beautiful with her hair up or down. She just looks much older with it down (or not in ponies... cause even when it's down, it's pretty much UP!).
Yesterday I spent the day in the hair care section trying to figure out what she needed. Or actually, what I needed to take care of her hair properly. I was DYING for someone, anyone to walk by and help me.... no such luck. I only obtained the help of my husband who sorry to say does not know much about girl's hair care. When I'm out of town, I think Sara is going to be going to school with the big hair look! So, any advice is appreciated. I solicited help from my facebook friends as well... between this blog and facebook, hopefully I can figure out the right way to care for my baby's hair!
I can't even begin to express how ready and excited we are to bring this little girl home! We CAN'T WAIT!!! We are so lucky to have been blessed with this little girl. We are very lucky to be blessed with the wonderful friends we have made along the way on this adoption journey.
13 days and we will be back on a plane to Ethiopia for the trip to bring our daughter home!!
By they way, if you have items you would like to send to Ethiopia for our orphan supply drive, please get them to me quickly. Thank you to everyone who has already donated so generously! We truly appreciate your help in being able to bring much needed supplies to the kids in Ethiopia who literally have nothing! Can you imagine if just ONE sticker made your children happy? Mine would wonder where the rest of the toys were for them to play with. I have seen children grin ear to ear for being given just ONE sticker. I hope the supplies we bring will give them some more joy! I will need everything to arrive prior to October 28th... so just a little over one more week to get things to me to take over.
Thank you again for all of your help!
In Christ,

So excited to hear you will be on your way to travel soon, I just wanted to share with you there is a yahoo internet group to help with hair and skin care for adopted children the one on yahoo is
There is also one on facebook but I do not know how to link you to it.
I am adopting from Ethiopia as well through Canada and have found so much much help and wisdom on our yahoo adoption group. I do not have a referral so have not used the hair group but you can join and
there is even many many photo's of hair do's
Look forward to hearing more of your journey

I'm new to your blog but couldn't resist adding my two cents to the hair care entry. :) I adopted my youngest child just over two years ago. She was 4 months at the time. She is multi-ethnic - part Latina and part AA. She has a HUGE boof of curls. You will need to be patient and experiment with various different "products". Do remember her hair will need MUCH MUCH more moisture (read conditioning and leave-in conditioner) than caucasian hair. She needs even more than my Asian daughter! I wash with conditioner only about ever 5 days, except during the summer, or if she gets really sweaty and dirty. I then use a leave-in conditioner and a pick. It takes me more time in the morning to do her hair than to get myself ready! Experimentation will pay off, though. You have to find the stuff that's just right for her hair!
