The Pecos Eagle boys and girls track teams both picked up third place
finishes on Saturday at the Sandhills Relays, with the boys also earning
four first place finishes on the afternoon and the girls one gold medal
for the second week in a row.
Andrews and Monahans tied for first place in the boys' division, each
with 148 points, while the Eagles were next with 106 points. Fort Stockton
had 611/2 points to finish fourth.
On the girls' side, Big Spring ran away with the division title, finishing
with 186 points to 106 for Greenwood. The Eagles used a second place finish
in the day's final event, the 1600-meter relay, to edge Andrews for third
place, by an 84-80 score.
Sophomore Rashad Terry earned three of the four gold medals for the boys
individually, by winning the high jump, 100 and 200 meter dashes, and also
was the anchor leg on the 400 meter relay team, which ran its best race
of the season in winning with a 43.65 time.
"That's wonderful," said Parent, whose team broke the 44-second mark
for the first time in 2003. "We didn't have the fastest time in the morning
(preliminary) session, but we did in the afternoon."
Parent said Terry did give himself and the Eagle coaches a scare during
the preliminaries of the 200-meter dash, when he was forced to slow down
at the finish. "We though he had pulled his hamstring, but it turned out
to be just a cramp," Parent said. He ended up with only the third-best time
going into the finals, but won the event with a 22.75 time.
Earlier, Terry ran a 10.70 to win the 100-meter dash, and cleared 6-foot-2
to take the high jump. "That's his best so far this year, and he beat the
Greenwood kid (Jimmy Brooks) who cleared 6-feet," Parent said.
Overall, though, Parent said field events still are a problem for the
Eagles. "We only got 20 points there," he said. "It's the same every week.
We start off real bad and finish real good."
Justin Lara cleared 11-foot-6 to earn third place in the pole vault competition,
while John Parent finished fourth in the discus for the Eagles' other field
event points.
Jack Bradley bumped a hurdle in the 110-meter finals, which cost him
a shot at first place. He ended up third with a 15.53 time. Earlier, Isaiah
Rayos took third in the 800 meter run with a 2:07 flat time, while Alex
Orosco was third in the 400 meter dash with a 54.02 time, Genaro Mendoza
was third in the 1600 meter run with a 4:51.26 time, and the 800 meter relay
team of Abel Lopez, Sanchez, Orosco and Armstrong were third, with a 1:33.11
The 1600 meter relay team for Pecos was fourth, and the Eagles also got
points from Jay Dannelley, Juarez and Mendoza, fourth through sixth in the
3200 meter run and Lopez, sixth in the 800 meters.
The girls got their first place finish from Jummy Akinyode in the 200
meter dash, where she had a 26.21 time to beat Big Spring's Karissa Magers,
who she lost to in the preliminaries and at the Mustang Relays in Andrews
last week. "She was about seven-tenths of a second faster this week," said
Eagles' coach Roxie Chavez. "Tiana (Terry) got beaten out for third by (Fort
Stockton's Tammy) Cash, but hopefully we can work on that for district."
The Eagles also picked up a couple of second place finishes aside from
the 1600 meter relay, from Stephanie Herrera, who threw 117-10 in the discus,
and from Jessica Martinez, who ran a 13:00.27 in the 3200 meter run.
Akinyode, Alexandra Carrasco, Mari Mendoza and Mindi Harrison were on
the 1600-meter team that finished with a 4:18.60 time, two seconds behind
Big Spring. Pecos was also third in the 800 meter run, with a time of 1:33.11,
while Tiana Terry picked up third in the 100 meter dash with a 13.14 time,
and Harrison was third in the pole vault, clearing seven feet in her first
competition of the year.
Herrera also picked up a fifth in the shot put, while Stephanie Arreguy
was sixth in the discus for the Eagles' other field event points. In the
running events, Carrasco was fifth in the 800 meter run; Martinez, Leslie
Rodriguez and Jennifer Martinez were fourth through sixth in the 1600 meter
run, Rodriguez was sixth in the 3200 meter run and the Eagles' 400 meter
relay team also finished sixth.
"We ran a 55 (second) time on that one, and some of that was our handoffs.
We're still working on that," said Chavez.
The Eagles will go to Kermit for the Permian Basin Relays this Friday
and will be back there for the District 4-3A track meet on April 8 and 10.

The late-game offensive fireworks that Pecos Eagle fans may have gotten
used to this season weren't there Friday night, when the Eagles hosted the
Fort Stockton Panthers. But neither were the early game pitching problems
or defensive mistakes that had been so costly to Pecos in their first two
District 4-3A games, and the result was a 2-0 win over the Panthers at Eagle
Barney Rodriguez snapped a personal two game losing streak and evened
his season record at 4-4 with his first shutout of the year, striking out
10 Panther batters while allowing only three hits on the night.
"That's the best performance he's had all year, and it came at the right
time," said Eagles' coach Elias Payan. "He told me before the game he wanted
to pitch and he went out and did his job."
The Eagles, meanwhile, had three hits in the game after their first three
batters of the night off Fort Stockton's Terrance Ellis. But the Panthers'
senior was able to overcome that and leadoff hits in the second, third and
sixth innings to keep Fort Stockton close, helped by an errorless night
from his defense and a couple of bad early base running decisions by Pecos.
Matthew Levario singled home David Elkins, after he doubled to right
to lead off the first inning and went to third on Jose Reyes' single. Levario
then beat the throw to second base on an hit-and-run when Freddy Torres
grounded to shortstop, but Jeremy Velasquez' throw to first beat Torres,
and Isai Rayos then threw home to get Reyes, who tried to score from second
In the second inning, Rodriguez led off with a single, but after Rigo
Ramirez grounded into a force play at second, he was thrown out by Rojas
trying to go from first to third base when Quito Vargas threw out Victor
Reyes on a slow infield bouncer to third.
Fort Stockton also opened up the first inning with a single, and also
had a runner thrown out at third, when Julio Pacheco was caught trying to
go from second to third on Ellis' fly ball to Elkins in right field.
The Panthers wouldn't get a runner to third until the seventh inning,
when Velasquez singled and Angel Molinar walked with two outs, and moved
up on a passed ball by Ruvel Carrasco. But with the tying run in scoring
position, Rodriguez struck out R.J. Bernal to end the game.
The Eagles only had one error in the game for the second game in a row
after suffering through a rash of mistakes in their previous contests. This
one was a two-out error by Levario at shortstop in the second, but Rodriguez
came back to strike out Marquez, to end the threat.
Levario drove in his second run of the night, and the final run of the
game, in the third inning, on a one-out sacrifice fly, following a lead-off
single by Carrasco. Courtesy runner Eddie Vela then stole second, moved
to third on a passed ball by Bernal and scored on the sacrifice fly, after
Elkins walked and Reyes lined out to Rojas. Levario would double off the
glove of a diving Donnie Dominguez in right field to lead off the sixth
and went to third on Torres' ground out, but was stranded when Oscar Parada
grounded to shortstop and Rodriguez bounced to third base.
"When we started off it looked like we were going to explode for some
runs, but we had some mental lapses running the bases that hurt us," Payan
said. "But I'll take the win."
After two one-run losses to open District 4-3A play, the victory puts
Pecos at 1-2 in district and 13-7 on the season, while Fort Stockton is also
1-2. Kermit and Monahans are both 2-1 after the Jackets beat the Loboes
on Friday night, 11-10, while Greenwood lost to Presidio, 12-6.

Welcome to the Library!
Teacher: Mrs. Lynn Napoli: email@example.com
Click on the Destiny Link to access our Library Collection from home
We have an excellent collection of books, periodicals, and resource material in a fully automated library, which grows annually.
Students in grades 2-8 are allowed to check out books for two weeks; one week for kindergarteners and first graders. Students who fail to return a book by the due date, have, at the librarian's discretion, the option to check out one more book. After that, the computer system will not allow the student to check out any more books until the overdue books are returned. Overdue notices will be emailed to the homeroom class and sent home for individual students. If a book is three weeks overdue, the book will be assumed lost, and the student will be billed for its replacement cost.
Books given to the library contain bookplates noting the donor for posterity. We have two Book Fairs where families are encouraged to buy books for the library as well as for their own recreational reading.
If parents have an objection to a certain library book there is an appeal form to request exclusion of the book from the library. This form will then be reviewed by the Portland Archdiocese School Library Association for possible removal from the library.
Getting to know Mrs. Napoli
My name is Mrs. Napoli. This is my 24 year at St. Clare. I have been the librarian for the past 16 years. Before that I taught third grade for eight years. I grew up in the Portland area and went to Oregon State University followed by Warner Pacific where I achieved my teaching certification. I returned to school after I started working here and received a Master of Elementary Education from Lewis & Clark. I have since also received a Library/Media Endorsement as well. I live in Wilsonville with my husband Doug and my two sons, Ryan and Hunter. We also have two dogs named Zeus and Stella. I love to read, watch my kids play sports, listen to music, and travel. St. Clare is a great community to be a part of, and I really enjoy working here.
Please contact me with any questions.

Why You Should Watch Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) Carefully
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) disrupted its string of quarterly losses with surprise positive earnings in 4Q2015. However, the management acknowledged the existence of difficulties and projected 1Q2016 earnings to fall 15% to 20% followed by another decline of 5% to 10% in 2Q2016. It is only in the back half of 2016 that the management of Tiffany anticipates improvement in financial performance.
This Tiffany analysis article discusses the company's strength and weaknesses to enable you make informed investment decision regarding the stock. But first is a brief recap of Tiffany's financial performance for the last quarter.
4Q2015 summary
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) posted 4Q2015 EPS of $1.46, outpacing the consensus estimate of $1.40 but falling short of the year ago EPS by 3%. Revenue of $1.2 billion for the latest quarter pulled back 6% from the corresponding quarter a year ago and topped the consensus estimate. Unfavorable foreign exchange movement was largely responsible for the topline hit.
2016 outlook
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) is hoping for 2016 revenue to increase in low-single-digit on constant currency basis or remain flat as the previous year on reported basis.
The chart below shows Tiffany's revenue for the last five quarters:
What's exciting about Tiffany?
- Solid brand appeal
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) products need no introduction among jewelry buyers. It takes years and massive investment to create a recognizable brand and Tiffany has done it and it can now reap the benefits. Tiffany is well positioned to leverage its strong brand appeal to beat the competition and fuel growth over the long-term. The company has also recently focused on expanding distribution network, thus paving the way for more sales.
- Geographic diversification
As Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) diversifies its product mix, the company has also been active in diversifying its geographic markets. In the recent years, the company has focused on expanding its business in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Russia and the Middle East. The expansion into more international markets should further boost Tiffany's international revenue that currently account for nearly 50% of its total annual sales.
A diversified geographic footprint also helps the company to spread market risks.
- Small store concept
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) has figured out that it could drive sales by targeting customers with low-cost jewelry products. The idea is that the company could use the lower price strategy to drive sales in emerging markets and further boost its international penetration. The strategy could also enable the company to offset the advantage that the competition may have enjoyed over it in low-cost market. Additionally, the lower price points would also increase customer traffic and Tiffany can seize the opportunity to upsell those customers to its more expensive products that attract higher margins.
As a way to increase the sale of the small ticket products, Tiffany is in the process of opening 11 new small stores this year.
- E-commerce
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) is also leveraging the power of the Internet to help fuel sales by providing customers a convenient way to shop online. In fiscal 2015, the company reported that e-commerce accounted for 6% of its net worldwide sales.
- Positive shareholder orientation
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) returns value to shareholders through a combination of dividends and shares repurchase. The company has also consistently sweetened its quarterly dividend payout over the last 13 years with the last coming in May 2015 when it boosted dividend payout by 5%. Early this year, the board of Tiffany authorized repurchase of $500 million worth of shares over the next three years.
Tiffany has demonstrated that it could continue to sweeten shareholder returns if its expansion efforts produce more free cash flow.
- Forex tailwind
As much as unfavorable foreign exchange movements have produced pain and suffering for Tiffany in the recent years amid strengthening dollar, the tide could change. Foreign currencies such as the Japanese yen and the common market currency Euro have recently demonstrated strength against the greenback and that should produce favorable results for Tiffany. Stronger foreign currencies make Tiffany's products more affordable in the international markets and that should fuel demand and sales. Today, Tiffany generates more than 50% of its sales outside the U.S.
What's worrying about Tiffany?
- Macroeconomic risks
Because Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) sells discretionary products, demand for its products is closely tied to people's ability to spend on such items. But unfavorable macroeconomic conditions such as high unemployment rates, limited access to credit and increase in the cost of fuel and energy tend to douse customers' purchasing power and could produce weak demand for Tiffany's products.
- Forex headwind
As Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) expands abroad and generates a significant amount of its revenue outside the U.S., it also gets more exposed to foreign exchange headwind. When the U.S. dollar is stronger, Tiffany's products become more expensive for international buyers and the company has to cut prices to boost demand but that ends up hurting margins. Additionally, a stronger dollar means that international sales are worth less than they should when converted to USD.
- Foreign tourists
A substantial portion of Tiffany's domestic sales are generated by foreign tourists to the U.S., but a stronger USD tends to limit the flow of foreign tourists to the U.S. because of the higher travelling costs. As such, Tiffany could face a sales squeeze if weakness in foreign tourist inflow persists.
- Tough times in Europe
The recent wave of terrorist attacks in Europe has complicated the business picture for Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) on the continent. Not only did the attacks people's travel plans, but also hurt businesses and led to loss of income for some. As a result, demand for discretionary products suffered as recently confirmed by several Europe luxury companies reporting in 1Q2016.
- Pressure in Asia-Pacific
Economic slowdown in China is expected to continue weighing negatively on Tiffany'sjewelry business. Tiffany reported 8% decline in comparable sales in Greater China in 4Q2015.
Although Japan has traditionally been a bright spot for Tiffany, the strengthening of the Japanese yen in the recent months could limit sales to tourists flowing into the country.
There are several odds stacked against Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF), but the company enjoys unique advantages that it can draw to drive growth and profitability in the coming quarters.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp admits his new job is giving him sleepless nights.
If the Hoops fail to beat Wigan today they will set an unwanted Premier League record of 16 games without a win.
New boss Redknapp said: "I've got stuff on my mind and it has not been so easy. I was sleeping very well two weeks ago until I came back to work.
"You're thinking what you can do, how you can improve it, what's the best team, who can play where?"

Activision Rides 'Call of Duty' to Better Than Expected Earnings
The game-maker's "Skylanders" and "World of Warcraft" franchises also contribute to a decent first quarter.
Activision Blizzard, the company behind soon-to-come games based on the upcoming movies Battleship and The Amazing Spider-Man, reported adjusted results that were better than expected on Wednesday.
Strong sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Skylanders Spyro's Adventures, as well as a decent showing from the subscription game World of Warcraft helped the company post adjusted earnings of 6 cents a share, 2 cents better than Wall Street expected.
Subscribers for World of Warcraft, who pay $15 a month and whose numbers are closely watched by investors, ended the first quarter at 10.2 million. While that's down from 11.4 million a year ago, it's the same as where it was in the fourth quarter.
Activision Blizzard said revenue fell to $1.2 billion from $1.4 billion a year ago and net income sunk to $384 million from $503 million a year ago.
Still, Activision Blizzard raised its outlook for the year and its shares rose 1 percent in after-hours trading after ending the regular session unchanged at $12.40.
The company's next big release is Diablo III on May 15, and CEO Bobby Kotick said during a conference call with analysts that "pre-orders have already set a new record for Blizzard."

The Latest: Pope visits Jesuit church, then calls it a day
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Here are the latest developments from Pope Francis' trip to South America:
7:55 p.m.
Pope Francis has ended his private visit to the Church of the Society of Jesus in Quito and returned to the Vatican ambassador's residence for his final night in Ecuador.
The Jesuit church is a Spanish Baroque gem that is one of the oldest and best known churches in Ecuador. It houses a painting of the Virgin Mary that was said to shed tears in 1906.
Crowds cheered the pontiff as he was driven back to the residence in the popemobile.
Tuesday was the last full day of the pope's visit to Ecuador. He is scheduled to fly to Bolivia at midday Wednesday. He also plans to visit Paraguay on his eight-day tour in South America.
6:50 p.m.
Pope Francis is pressing his case for a new economic and environmental world order, saying the goods of the Earth are meant for everyone and must not be exploited by the wealthy few for short-term profit at the expense of the poor.
Francis' call comes on his final full day in Ecuador, a Pacific nation that is home to one of the world's most species-diverse ecosystems but is also an OPEC country heavily dependent on oil extraction.
The pope issued the challenge at a meeting with business leaders and indigenous groups. The latter have championed his recent encyclical denouncing what he says is a profit-at-all cost mentality of wealthy nations that exploits the poor and destroys the planet.
6:15 p.m.
Pope Francis has arrived at the Church of San Francisco in Quito, Ecuador, to meet with representatives of civic organizations, entrepreneurs, indigenous communities and Catholic lay groups.
His welcoming included a song sung in the indigenous Quechua language called "Taita" — which means papa in Quechua. The song was specially composed for the pope.
Both the church and the plaza outside are jammed with thousands of onlookers who showered the pontiff with cheers and applause.
5:10 p.m.
Pope Francis is challenging Latin America's youth to take up his environmental protection call, saying the defense of God's creation isn't just a recommendation but a requirement.
Francis appeal delivered Tuesday at Quito's Catholic University is particularly relevant for Ecuador, a Pacific nation that is home to one of the world's most species-diverse ecosystems but is also an OPEC country heavily dependent on oil.
The pope told students and professors that God gave humanity the Earth to not only cultivate, but to care of — a message he framed earlier this month in his major encyclical on the environment.
Francis also challenged the university to ensure that students' education isn't aimed only at profitable careers but at helping the poor and the environment.
4:45 p.m.
Thousands of people have cheered Pope Francis as he was being driven through Ecuador's capital to give a speech on education at Catholic University.
As he entered the school's stadium, Francis individually greeted members of a group of children, young people, elderly and disabled.
About 5,000 Catholic school teachers and others are gathered at the stadium to hear the pope.
4:20 p.m.
Pope Francis is giving out some bear hugs to children who were able to get through the fence around the Vatican ambassador's residence where he is staying.
Monsignors, Vatican bodyguards and Ecuadorean police are picking the kids up so Francis can kiss and bless them. The crowd is going wild.
Francis will now head in his popemobile to Quito's Catholic University for a speech, the second major event of the day.
3 p.m.
Ecuador's largest indigenous association is complaining that it was left off of Pope Francis's agenda during his visit to the Andean nation. The group has been at odds with President Rafael Correa.
The head of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities, Jorge Herrera, says Roman Catholic Church officials never responded clearly to the group's request to meet directly with Francis during his three days in the country.
He says: "It seems we're not being permitted a direct voice."
The pope has made outreach to indigenous people a persistent theme during his three-nation South American tour. He has said indigenous peoples are the most vital stewards of the environment and the group most hurt by the ravages of deforestation and contamination by petroleum and mining industries.
The pope had no events in Ecuador specifically aimed at indigenous people, however, though a lector at Tuesday's papal Mass in Quito delivered a reading in its dominant native tongue, Quichua.
1:30 p.m.
The head of Ecuador's bishops says people in the Andean country are listening with great interest to the words of Pope Francis.
After the pope celebrated an open-air Mass at a large park in Quito, Bishop Fausto Travez said his presence was having a large impact on the faithful.
He said the pope "has generated great interest, hope and joy because we hear in his words the same voice of God and the church. Our people are hungry for God."
Travez, president of the Ecuador's Episcopal Conference, also likened Francis' visit to that of Pope John Paul II in 1985.
"That visit pushed us to renew our commitment to evangelizing," he said.
1 p.m.
Pope Francis is telling faithful in Ecuador that being model Catholics is the best form of evangelization.
During his homily at a park in Quito, Francis said: "Evangelization doesn't consist of proselytizing. Rather, it's about using our own testimony (of God) to attract those who have become distant, in humbly bringing close to us those who feel far from God and the church."
The pope's words come at a time of changing religious landscapes across Latin America, including Ecuador and Bolivia, two of the three countries he's visiting.
In Ecuador, 79 percent of the population identified as Catholic in 2014 compared to 95 percent in 1970, according to Pew Research Center. In Bolivia, 77 percent were Catholic in 2014 compared to 85 percent in 1970. In both Andean countries, many Catholics have left the church for evangelical faiths such as Pentecostalism.
11:05 a.m.
Pope Francis is urging all of Latin America to channel the same urgency that brought them independence from Spain two centuries ago to spread the faith and bring together their ideals in a world torn apart by war and individualism.
Francis chose to celebrate his final Mass in Ecuador in Quito's Bicentennial Park — an apt location given that Ecuador was where the first cries of independence against Spanish rule rose up in Latin America in 1809.
Francis told an estimated half-million people gathered Tuesday that in a world divided by wars, violence and individualism, Catholics should be "builders of unity," bringing together hopes and ideals of their people.
He said: "There was no shortage of conviction or strength in that cry for freedom which arose a little more than 200 years ago. But history tells us that it only made headway once personal differences were set aside."
The Mass featured readings in Quichua, the native language most spoken in Ecuador, and Ecuadorean vestments for the pope.
10:40 a.m.
Pope Francis is preparing to address hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Quito to celebrate Mass at a large park that previously was the site of the Ecuadorean city's airport.
Entering the area, Francis stopped the popemobile for a brief moment to hug an elderly woman in a wheelchair. He then gave her a blessing and continued.
The large crowd near the stage where Francis will celebrate Mass briefly broke the barrier, but security forces stepped in and moved people back.
9:35 a.m.
A water-logged crowd estimated by officials at half a million awaits the pope at Quito's Bicentennial Park. Francis will be celebrating the second Mass of his South American tour.
City operations director Cristian Rivera says more than 300,000 faithful spent the night and got doused with a pre-dawn torrential rain. He said paramedics treated more than 20 people for hypothermia and handed out blankets to the crowd.
He said two hydrosuction trucks worked to remove puddles from several inundated sections of the park.
A 59-year-old seafood vendor, Abel Gualoto, rubbed his cold hands and said he didn't mind the discomfort.
"The joy at seeing the pope gives us the warmth we need," he said.
8:27 a.m.
Pope Francis is beginning the second full day of his South American tour. The 78-year-old pontiff is set to meet with Ecuadorean bishops in Quito before celebrating Mass at the city's Bicentennial Park, a large green space in the area of a former airport.
In the afternoon, he'll address leaders of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador before doing the same with civil society groups in the early evening.
Then later at night, he'll make a private visit to the Church of the Society of Jesus, known locally as Iglesia de la Compania. The Jesuit church is one of the oldest and most known in Ecuador. It houses a painting of the Virgin Mary that was said to shed tears in 1906.

TAMESGUIDA, Algeria — In this farming community of perhaps 250 families on a high, silent perch in the Atlas Mountains, a band of about 30 Islamic militants crept by night into a compound of foreign contractors, herded 14 Christian Croats into a dry riverbed and slit their throats.
"We are the terrorists of the FIS (Islamic Salvation Front), and we are here to kill," one young contractor, who had his neck slashed but survived the Dec. 14 attack, said the militants told him and his colleagues.
He subsequently lay for hours in the silence of his slain companions.
"We all tried to pretend we were Muslims but, in the end, we didn't know Arabic and we didn't know how to pray," he said.
Algeria, whose war of independence helped form modern notions of revolutionary violence and state retribution, is providing new lessons in urban warfare in the Middle East.

When I was 14, I was VR obsessed. A local restaurant/bar had brought in Dactyl Nightmare and charged $7 a pop to try it. For the 2 days it was stationed there, I played it about 4 times. On day 2 I remember calculating how much of my paper-route money I could spend to get even more plays on the machine. Dactyl Nightmare was a horrible, vomit-inducing experience, and it was so awesome.
That same year I started reading any article on VR I could get my hands on. I picked up "The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality" from the local library, and read it, not really understanding it. For our annual school public speaking competition I gave a talk on VR (and came in second place after my Grade 7 academic rival). VR had hit the public consciousness in a big way that year and I was soaking up every bit of it. And then, much like the cancellation of the show VR.5, everything went quiet and I too stopped obsessing about Virtual Reality.
At age 15 I discovered the Internet after creating a local BBS and convincing an ISP that they should comp me free Internet for advertising space on my BBS. My entire understanding of computers changed and I started collaborating with folks from around the world.
When I was 18 a friend brought over a DVD of Serial Experiments Lain. The themes of human connectedness, a shared consciousness, a manifestation of the virtual world "The Wired", and the breaking down of barriers between the physical realm and "The Wired" have stuck with me for years.
It wasn't until I was 21 that I read Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. I was so inspired by that book that eventually I took it's name when I had to pick my roller-derby persona at age 30. Snow Crash (#255) skated for 3 years with the Terminal City Roller Girls.
Last year I got a chance to try OculusVR's DK1 and Crystal Cove display which completely renewed my interest in VR. I've mucked about with my friends as they've experimented with these dev kits and Unity.
This year's Steam Dev Days had an afternoon packed with VR talks from Michael Abrash, Palmer Luckey and Joe Ludwig and I've since become completely re-obsessed with VR. This is technology that's going to change the world. Maybe I'm just drinking the Kool-Aid, but I don't care.

Keith Ballard is Emeritus Professor at the University of Otago. This paper was a Keynote address presented to the Te Kötahitanga Voices Conference 2008, University of Waikato, 26-27 November, 2008. In it, Professor Ballard develops theories of institutional racism and connects the practice of education with wider policy trends in New Zealand society. In particular, he develops a sharp critical analysis through the free-market policies that were instigated in New Zealand in the 1980s and shows how they have led to a wide disparity of wealth in the economy, increasingly widespread poverty and increasing gaps in educational achievement that impacts disproportionately on Maori and Pacifica children. He shows how the production and imposition of whiteness in the classroom forms part of the context for student failure.
He turns his critical gaze upon the conservative critique of the Te Kotahitanga programme, showing how it is driven and guided by conservative ideology rather than sound empirical analysis.

Madhuri Dixit-Nene: I love Madhubala's smile
B-town's lady with the million dollar smile says she is a fan of late actor Madhubala and that her mesmerising smile is the best the industry has seen. Madhuri also talks about working with Naseeruddin Shah and Juhi Chawla. Excerpts from an interview
One of the best actors in tinseltown, Madhuri Dixit-Nene is very strict when it comes to health issues and adds she is quite good at multi-tasking too. "I am a multi-tasker. I can do two things together. I am very strict with myself and my kids too. I handle my diet and I am responsible for my health," she said.
During her long and successful innings in the filmdom, she churned out hits like Tezaab, Beta, Dil and Dil To Pagal Hai. However, her comeback film after her marriage with Dr Shriram Nene, Aaja Nachle turned out to be a damp squib when it hit theatres in 2007. The 45-year-old has now moved back to India along with her husband and two sons – Arin and Raayan.
She regained her popularity as the judge of two seasons of dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and has now bagged two important films – Dedh Ishqiya and Gulaab Gang.
Asked her about competition, she said: "I have never believed in that. I do what I like and I enjoy it."
What are your strengths? "I am a very hard working person. I am creative. I like to dance and act. I love whatever I am doing," said the actor.
Talking about her two prestigious projects, Madhuri said that Anubhav Sinha's Gulaab Gang shooting is on and the camera will start rolling for Vishal Bhardwaj's Dedh Ishqiya in mid-February.
Dedh Ishqiya was initially supposed to go on the floors in September 2012, but it was postponed till November and then it was shifted to February 2013. "Both the films have strong roles and very nice characters," she said. Sequel to critically acclaimed Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya also stars Huma Qureshi along with Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi who were in the original.
"It's my honour that I am working with him (Naseer). He is a very fantastic artist and I enjoyed a lot working with him," said Madhuri.
The actor also showered praise on Juhi Chawla, her co-star in Gulaab Gang, their first film together. "It's been wonderful. I met Juhi and she is a very, very sweet person and the experience has been wonderful," she said.
Madhuri is also known for her million dollar smile, but she regards legendary Madhubala's smile as the most beautiful. "I love Madhubala's smile and I think it is the best in the industry," said the actor who is also a huge fan of Madhubala.

text: So I just took my remote for my car swimming. The remote still works fine, but now the doors won't lock or unlock... even by using the buttons in the car! The remote start option still works from the remote, and the lock/unlock buttons on the remote make the lights flash. There's also a lot of clicking when I turn the car on and off. Anyone have any ideas? It's a Viper 160XV if that means anything to you.

I found myself wondering recently whether the necessary components for a mass in rock style are available. Below are songs which have the right titles and are not a world away in their themes. But are there other songs, and ones perhaps more suited for this purpose, than the ones below? I wonder what it would be like to try incorporating these into a worship service. And would there be any interest in someone writing an actual rock mass? Or has it been done, and I just don't know about it?
Kyrie (Mr. Mister)
Gloria (U2)
Credo (Fish)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27IiNyTczOU
Agnus Dei (Michael W. Smith)
There aren't a lot of songs actually called "Credo." But there is an abundance that are called "I believe," and some of those might be considered for inclusion: songs by Blessid Union of Souls and Tears for Fears, for instance, and for some the one from The Book of Mormon musical might also be an option. There's also a Credo by Kjartan Sveinsson, formerly of Sigur Rós, but it isn't really in a rock style. And for Japanese speakers, there is one by Ayaka. But none strikes me as clearly preferable to "Credo" by Fish.
If you are looking to try to get all the proper components, that is more challenging. This seems to be the only rock song called Sanctus that is not totally inappropriate…

Discussion in 'Military' started by Annie, Jul 22, 2005.
A clue:
How about ... NOW
How about using the great mind you keep reminding us, is yours? I mean constructively, with some discourse? Is it all just smoke and mirrors?
Why do you want them back anyway? Judging by your posts it appears that you hate the military (an everything America stands for for that matter), and all of the soldiers. Shouldnt you want them to stay there?
In the case of the troops coming home, I doubt it will be in the near future, unfortunately. The Korean war ended half a century ago yet troops still do 12 month tours there. There isnt an insurgency nor any real threatdirectly at the US garrison there, but they are still there. Now the Iraq War is a differant story and doesnt have NK on the northern border, so perhaps things will be different.
I stand for saving American lives. It is only people like you that want more American soldiers to die.
Which is worse Gabby? And I want to you to try to be intellectually honest here. It's a simple question.
What is worse?
1. For 1800 Soldiers to die in War?
2. For over 10x that amount of Civillians to keep dying becase we take a passive attitude towards terrorism and those states that harbor them?
You stand for nothing. You have lived with your parents, then to school, then to Rob! Rob! Rob! Then there are your psycho problems, while you get 'degreed' in 'saving the world.'
You are 21 and you are nothing. Enjoy your wedding. If this part of your story is true, hope Rob knows what a twit he's got.
I dont think you carea bout American lives. Look at your sig, it mocks the death of 3000 civilians. And you dont know me well enough to assume that I want more Amerrican soldiers to die. My dad is a soldier, I want him to live. But I'd rather have him in Iraq than have Saddam murder millions again. Like CP said. Why dont you answer his question, please.
Why not emigrate? You so hate this nation. It pains me to call you fellow citizen. You are not.
Rumfsfeld bad strategist...
dissolve regular iraqi army really big big mistake...
Now special forces from former Iaqi Army are paid by OSMAM bin LADEN..
big big Mistake.

Paul Lane Wants Accountability for Nalcor
By: Ryan Young
In the spirit of openness and accountability, Independent MHA Paul Lane is calling for the Auditor General to complete a full investigation into Nalcor. According to Lane, the people of the province have lost faith in their crown energy corporation and it will take nothing short of total disclosure to start earning it back.
In addition to calling for a full investigation into all of Nalcor's activities, Lane is also looking for an investigation into all former board members to ensure that no conflicts-of-interest occurred during their tenure. That might be a tall order to expect the government to fill, since Finance Minister Cathy Bennett was chair of the Nalcor board in 2012 when the project was sanctioned. Paul Lane believes that a full investigation, including accountability, is the only way to restore the people's faith in Nalcor.
Lane is also asking questions about why large bonuses were paid out to Nalcor executives despite the findings of the Liberty Report that concluded that the infamous DarkNL blackouts in 2014 were a direct result of negligence by Nalcor.
With all of the controversy surrounding the Ed Martin departure, the government had a great opportunity to open things up at Nalcor and regain some public trust. We all know how that went. Then the former chair of the board, Ken Marshall, started talking about gathering ammo against the government. If Dwight Ball had any cajones, he would have called in Terry Paddon right there and then, calling Marshall on his bluff and putting the actions of the board under the microscope. But as we all know, that didn't happen and the premier has found himself mired in controversy and scandal. That moment was another perfect opportunity to seize back the power and to shift the public outrage back where it belongs, Nalcor. Instead Ball has decided to let the entire board and the CEO walk away with absolutely no accountability for their actions. Even worse for the government, he has allowed this new government to be dragged down into a boondoggle that they didn't even create.
But why should we open up Nalcor to such scrutiny? Some would argue that what's done is done and it is best to leave the past behind and look ahead. Generally, I agree with such sentiments, but in the wake of nearly $6 Billion in cost overruns, this blogger thinks it might be a prudent time to start looking at how we got here. When it became public that former CEO, Ed Martin, had lied about fixed-term contacts at Muskrat Falls, alarm bells should have been ringing and the premier's office should have been taking a much closer look at the actions of the Nalcor brass. What else were we lied to about, and how much is it going to cost us?
Bringing in the Auditor General is not only a good move, it is the only move that this government has left to regain any credibility in the eyes of the people. The cloak and dagger politics of Muskrat Falls have reached a tipping point and the people want to know the truth. Sooner or later that truth will come out. Wouldn't it be nice if it would come from the government themselves…

Same-store sales at BJ's Wholesale
This is one case where rising gas prices helped. Out of its 5.3% increase, management attributed more than a quarter, or 1.4% of the total, to gas sales. According to the company, it is generally priced below average in that particular market. But accepting a lower profit on gas sales helps drive traffic into its stores.
There was good news on other fronts as well. Traffic increased by 2%, and the average transaction rose 3%, excluding gasoline. So more people were shopping and spending more money -- a very nice combination.
Food is also an important component, accounting for about 60% of BJ's general sales. This, too, brought good news. Food sales increased 6%. This was the strongest increase in two years, and given rising food prices, I expect this to continue, as consumers look to save money by buying in bulk.
BJ's has a few advantages over its rivals. It accepts coupons from manufacturers, while its competitors do not, and it sells certain items in smaller packages. It also accepts more credit cards than Sam's or Costco warehouses. The latter only accepts American Express.
I believe rising gas and food prices will play to BJ's strengths. It is able to offer these at discounts to traditional grocers and gas stations. Doing this increases store traffic, and customers also may spend more on other items, like big-screen televisions. This could in turn increase margins, which is one ingredient the company is missing today.

Powder Room Renovation
We had contacted Vince to get a quote for our powder room. He responded immediately and came to check out the powder room the same week. Vince was always in contact with us to let us know when his crew would be able to start our renovation. Adam and Brandon worked on our renovations. They were a pleasure to work with and were always open to answering questions and discussing details of the job (i.e tile arrangement). At the end of the day they left everything neat and tidy. I also really appreciated them taking the time to say hello to the family dog every morning and being considerate of my 8 month old nap schedule (though it didn't matter because she could sleep through anything). Overall, I would recommend the Kitchen and Bath Guys. They not only provide excellent customer service but the workmanship is excellent as well!

Tammy, thanks for calling on once again! It was a pleasure working with you and Andrew.

LIMERICK, Pa. - September 26, 2012 --The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says a reactor operator at a suburban Philadelphia nuclear power plant has been removed from duty after being found under the influence of alcohol.
Officials say the reactor operator at Limerick Generating Station lost his operator license after alcohol was detected in his urine during a random screening in July.
A spokesman for the NRC says the man was never alone in the control room and all his activities from that day were properly reviewed.
Neil Sheehan says a violation has been placed in the man's file and he will have to provide a written response if he ever applies for a license again.

Perennial games-to-film helmer Uwe Boll is getting set for his next directorial effort, a movie version of Ubisoft's Far Cry. The illustrious Dr. Boll has revealed to IGN that the film will go into production in May 2007.
We expect the game-based flick to mirror the plot of the original Far Cry, centering on a man who finds himself tied to a chair inside an old cargo ship. He is freed by an unseen stranger, and sets out to escape his captors.
Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer (Alone in the Dark) wrote the script for the film.
The film was previously reported to have a budget of around $25 million. Rumor has it that filmmakers were at one time interested in courting The Rock and Naomi Watts for the lead roles. That might seem like a bit of a casting stretch, but in the world of Uwe Boll, anything is possible!
Boll also tells us that he's working on sequels to Alone in the Dark and BloodRayne.
Next up from Boll are In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale and Postal.

The Leader's Journey developed out of the four decades of my experiences as coach and mentor to dozens of company presidents and CEOs from the Fortune 50 to the renowned case of Johnsonville Foods. My research and work has taken me to Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Scandanavia, to the lecture halls of most of the major universities of the world, and to the seminar rooms of hundreds of organizations in the United States and abroad.
My goal in this blog is to share that experience with readers and "rattle cages" -- to help committed CEOs and other top executives transform themselves into leaders and their organizations into healthier, more vigorous, and more adaptive high-performance organizations.
The journey won't always be comfortable, but we should be able to have some fun along the way.

Though each was originally meant to become Captain Marvel if the "real" Billy were killed before he could be called, one of Sivana's many plots against the good Captain was actually responsible for their becoming the Lt. Marvels. However, unlike when "real" Billy calls out the old wizard's name and becomes the adult Captain Marvel, the Lieutenants become older teenaged versions of themselves when the call on their powers.
Dudley Batson, Billy's legal guardian, is Merrill Batson's older brother and is a recovering con-man blessed with a heart of gold. While many folks will dismiss Dudley as a bumbling fool on sight, hes actually quite sharp and can spot a phony a mile away. Among his many talents, Dudley happens to be very good at electronics, dabbles in stage magic, illusion and escape artistry, and he can and has picked his way out of a pair of handcuffs in about 10 seconds flat without looking. He knows hes not the best role model in the world for them, but the kids love him anyway.
He finds out Billy, Mary and Freddys secret identities by accidentally reading his young nieces diary, which she leaves at his home, and decides to make himself a costume so he can help them out from time to time. Mr. Morris offers Dudley his own kids show on WHIZ-TV, where hell spend most of his time when hes in his Uncle Marvel suit. When not working at WHIZ-TV, Dudley will spend time working on a pair of animatronic cartoon rabbits hes named Hoppy and Millie, who will wind up appearing on the show. Easygoing and laid back, he has seen and experienced much in his life, but hasnt let them make him jaded or embittered. He has the same faith in humanity and sense of wonder as a much-younger person.
Shazam, the ancient wizard who blessed the Marvel Family with their incredible powers, resides in a palace he built on the fabled Rock of Eternity, where he keeps an ostensive eye on his family and chronicles their adventures in the massive tome that rests near his throne. Since the old wizard was nearly a god at the time of his death, he knows everything that has happened and will happen throughout the world from the highest to the lowest. The reason is that he is about 10,000 years old, give or take a century, and in his very long life he has seen much, done much, and has been a trusted friend, teacher and counselor to rulers and deities alike.
For some 3,000 years before becoming a wizard, Shazam battled evil as the Champion of the Lumerian people, until the island nation sank beneath the waves and the gods he knew were forgotten by all save himself. Not much is known about the centuries between his last appearance as the Champion and the wizard Shazams emergence in the court of King Djer, Egypts second king, but legends tell that he travelled far and wide, learning all the secrets of White Magick he could.
Exactly when and why he left Egypt is not certain, but Shazam travelled to Israel in the time of wise King Solomon. Later, he was in Greece during its Heroic Age, becoming friends with Zeus, Hermes and the Titan Atlas and the heroes Hercules and Achilles. Centuries later, when Achilles and Solomon were long dead and free from the corruptions of the living, Shazam asked their spirits to join Zeus, Hermes (renamed Mercury by the Romans), Atlas (freed from his duties of supporting the heavens) and Hercules (now a god) to do good in the world.
Before creating the Marvel Family, Shazam entrusted two others with both his powers and his secrets, only to see that trust cruelly betrayed. The first one was Khem-Adam, or Black Adam, his first heir to the role of champion. Out of greed and jealous rage, Adam murdered his cousin, King Djer, then slew Djers wife and most of their children and, with the aid of a corrupt priest named Seth-Kerak, usurped the throne for himself. The second was a vain young wizard named Oggar, whom he tried to teach compassion and to use his powers to help others, but the lessons both Shazam and the spirit of Solomon tried to teach him fell on deaf ears.
Ultimately, Oggar felt he had no further use for either Shazam or his teachings. He found a new master in the form of the sorceress Circe, whom he gave the gift of immortality, then turned against the old wizard and his fellows. With a heavy heart, Shazam defeated his former protégé even as Circe struck down the vain young sorcerer with a five-fold curse. She cursed him with the horns, legs and hooves of a goat, the inability to use a spell more than once and the inability to use his powers against any female of any age.
Over the centuries, Shazam became a great adept at Magick; so great, that he was at last virtually a god - but not quite. Eventually, he had to die. In Eternity, Shazam took residence in the temple he built on the Rock of Eternity. From Eternity, one can reach any era or alternate dimension, so the members of the Marvel Family use it in order to travel through time. As a spirit, he commands even greater Magickal powers than he did in life, as well as dispatching his magic lightning bolts and advising the Marvel Family. Shazam relies on a bracelet made of a magickal element called Shazamium to maintain his spirit form. The Shazamium bracelet can also send anyone who puts it on instantly to the Rock of Eternity.
Going further with our heroes, and the kids are the real heroes of this story, Billy, Mary and Freddy will learn to work together as well as alone, and that the old maxim, there is strength in unity, and in unity there is strength, is true. And while some of the Marvels great wisdom carries over to their mortal forms, they are far from perfect; they foul up, sometimes badly, but they always try to put things right in the end. They have the capability to become the worlds most powerful heroes, and the Marvel Family will learn the full scope and potential of their gifts, and quickly too, for they will need it.

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager told CNN's "State of the Union" that Russian hackers leaked DNC emails in order to help Donald Trump win the election.
Campaign manager Randy Mook expressed the utmost concern over the email hack, which exposed the Democrat National Committee's favoritism toward Clinton over Bernie Sanders. On Friday, the leaked emails showed DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, along with other staff members, disparaging Sanders. Wasserman Shultz will step down as chair in the wake of the scandal.
Mook told CNN's Jake Tapper that "Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually helping Donald Trump."
Although Mook didn't explain just who these "experts" are, the accusation may not be a far cry from the truth. Then again, maybe not. Without providing any evidence of his knowledge of who leaked the emails, or what their intention was, it's a tough call.
But Trump is known to have significant financial ties to Russia and has praised Putin throughout his campaign. Likewise, Putin has endorsed him for president.

Barcelona, Spain: FC Barcelona, playing without star strikers Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, were unable to get anything past Malaga's goalkeeper and had to settle for a goalless draw that leaves them in second place in the La Liga standings.
Luis Enrique's men were hampered offensively without the services of Messi, sidelined with an illness, and the suspended Suarez,reports Efe on saturday.
The Catalans still managed to dominate possession from the outset at Camp Nou here, but several chances squandered by Arda Turan, Rafinha and Gerard Pique prevented them from getting on the scoreboard.
Barca failed to break through Malaga's defence even after defender Diego Llorente was sent off in the 69th minute for a hard challenge on Neymar.
Neymar needed to carry the offensive load in the absence of Messi and Suarez, but the Brazilian star was sluggish after returning from duty with his country's national side.
Playing 11 against 10, Barcelona went all-out for the win in the final minutes of the contest.
But the referee's decision not to award a penalty for an apparent takedown of Pique by Venezuelan defender Mikel Villanueva and a remarkable save by Camaroonian goalkeeper Carlos Kameni of a shot off the foot of Neymar doomed Barcelona's hopes for three points.
Barça had to settle for a scoreless draw even though Malaga was reduced to nine men by the final whistle after midfielder Juankar was sent off in the waning seconds for excessive complaining to the referee.
Barcelona is now just one point behind Real Madrid in the standings, but the Blancos can stretch that advantage to four points with a victory Saturday night over crosstown rival Atletico Madrid.

Take the following incident which occurred in Niceville, Florida:
When international exchange student Jawdat "J.D." Kasab wrote "Death to America" on a board inside a Niceville High School classroom, he had no inkling of the havoc the phrase would cause.Hmm.
It wasn't a threat. It wasn't a promise. It was just a joke, he said.
Jawdat, a Muslim, was sent back to his home in Israel on Friday evening after officials in the exchange program he was enrolled in told him he had been dismissed over the incident, which occurred about a month earlier.
"I'm sorry that I did that," Jawdat said during a phone call Monday from Israel. "I don't want them to think I'm some kind of terrorist because the people who know me, they know I'm not. I'd like for them to give me another chance to come back and show them that I'm not."
Jawdat arrived in Niceville four months ago as part of the Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) through AYUSA Global Youth Exchange. The incident that got him sent home occurred in early November inside an art classroom at the high school.
"We were in class, we had nothing to do; we were joking around and we wanted to do something funny," Jawdat said. "I didn't think something would happen."
He said he told the group he was going to write the phrase, which they often jokingly said to each other, up on the board in Arabic.
"I am the one who translated it, not anyone else," he said. "I wasn't trying to hide anything."
Jawdat's friends laughed and he erased the phrase moments after it was written, he said.
Later the story of him writing the phrase was recounted by another student and brought to the attention of school officials. School officials asked Jawdat what happened; he told them and was suspended for two days, he said.
He thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. On Nov. 30, AYUSA sent Jawdat the letter informing him he had to leave the country.
Whilst the individual in question may have genuinely been joking, what made him think such humour was appropriate in an American classroom?
After all, thousands of Americans and other Westerners have been slaughtered in the name of such sentiments, part of an on-going Jihad against them and all infidels.
Oddly, this story hasn't been picked up in Britain, probably because it doesn't teach us anything useful, I expect.
Imagine the outcry in papers such as the Guardian if a British exchange student in India made an insensitive joke about the British Raj? Or, God forbid, a British person in an Islamic country made a joke about Islam?
Then it would be time for self-flagellation, handwringing, and many long rants about how evil and racist we are.
Even the American article is written as if this incident is trivial, when I expect anyone telling a joke about Islam might find themselves facing prosecution in several Western countries.
Some jokes just aren't funny, and context is important - but a strong reaction, or rather lack of it, seems to show just what is important to our masters.

Convergence Analysis of a Fourier-Based Solution Method of the Laplace Equation for a Model of Magnetic Recording

When engineers model the magnetostatic fields applied to recording heads of computer hard drives due to a magnetic recording medium, the solution of Laplace's equation must be found. A popular solution method is based on Fourier analysis. However, due to the geometry of the read head model, an interesting mathematical problem arises. The coefficients for the Fourier series solution of the desired magnetic potential satisfy an infinite system of linear equations. In practice, the infinite system is truncated to a finite system with little consideration for the effect this truncation has on the solution. The paper will provide a proper understanding of the underlying problem and a formal analysis of the effect of truncation.

Winter Residence
The Winter Residence is an older brick house, inherited by Wendy Winter in 2012 from her late uncle Harry .
It is located on 144 Hoffmann Road
The residence was built in 1883 for [????] and is one of the oldest buildings in South Portland.
The house is a typical example of a classical italinate1 residential building with dichromatic brickwork. The white bricks form string courses (horizontal bands) and window arches that emulate stone moulding. Wooden detail are painted white and well kept by it's owners and rebuilt in the 1950's.
The garden is small, and unkempt.
The building has a main floor where kitchen and several main rooms are located, a second floor covering the library and bedrooms, a roof converted to bedroom and a basement.
The basesement is mostly unused, apart for some storage areas and a large oil-pan that keeps the heat during winters. The basement has several unused rooms and hasn't been cleaned for many years, and hasn't been renovated in almost a century.

Main floor
Most of the main floor was refurbished in 2005 and is in good condition (the kitchen in 2008 and the bathroom in 2006). The living room takes up most of the floor since it was opened up from two larger rooms to create a more open environment.
The kitchen is in good condition and kept clean and well stocked with [??]. It has been kept in an old style but with modern equipment. White cupboards and a black stone finish on the tables. Several pots and pans hang from the ceiling from chains.
The master bedroom is currently located on the main floor. This is where Wendy Winter lives.
Two more bedrooms can be found on this floor, currently occupied by Edward Reynolds and Doctor Carmichael.
The bathroom can be found on this floor.
Second floor
The main feature on the second floor is the large library and the connected rooms, a dinner area , xxx and xxx, rows and rows of well kept old and new books covers many of the walls. Several large leather furniture can be found, old but in remarkable condition.
A toilet can be found on this floor.
Det känns som det saknas rum på denna våning. Vad finns här tycker ni?
The main part of the roof works to store a lot of old furniture and books no longer in use by the residents.
Part of this floor have been refurbished into a combined bedroom (formerly used by the maid) and painters studio (formerly storage area). This room is kept locked at all times by it's somewhat secluded resident, Abigail Callaghan.
A small toilet can be found on this floor (formerly used by the maid).

1 The Italianate style, also known as the Tuscan or Bracketed style, revisited the architecture of the Italian Renaissance in America during the 1840s. Historians consider this style to be a form of the Neo-Renaissance as well as a member of the picturesque movement. It was not all too common in Portland but a few houses was build by richer immigrants. Portland has few, but well preserved locations of Italianate architecture.

Years ago my eldest son had a t-shirt that always made me smile declaring:
"God is dead," Nietzche
"Nietzche is dead," God.
As silly as it was, its implied argument lays out a conundrum of modern times. In our world of commercialism and political agendas, God's presence is somewhere between minimized and negated. A friend recently pointed out that as a religious people we don't do much God-talk. She is right, we don't. We sometimes assume the Divine in our conversations, a present but unmentioned component. We sometimes avoid mentioning the Divine, so as to not use language that may offend. We sometimes forget the presence of the Divine. And sometimes, as people of the world, we choose to ignore God's presence. But it is clear to me that with whatever language we use, in whatever environment we are in, God is indeed present.
* God never died! God was Ruler, though his funeral lengthened. Though His mourners thickened, magic never fled. Though His shrouds were hoisted the naked God did live; Though His words were twisted the naked magic thrived; Though His death was published round and round the world the heart did not believe.
In 1647, a twenty-something George Fox, cutting across a field to a relative's house, comes to a deep awareness. "... it was opened in me that God, who made the world, did not dwell in temples made with hands. This, at first, seemed a strange word....But the Lord showed me, so that I did see clearly, that he did not dwell in these temples... but in people's hearts.... the people were his temple, and he dwelt in them."
God is everywhere. We no longer need to visit God in a burning bush, or trudge to a mountain top. Friends have long found God in all places on earth, not just in human designated sacred sites. We experience the Divine Presence along the continuum from solitary moments to gathered meeting for worship regardless of where we are.
* Though laws were carved in marble they could not shelter men; Though altars built in Parliaments, they could not order men; Police arrested magic and magic went with them, ah! For magic loves the hungry.... But magic would not tarry, it moves from arm to arm, It would not stay with them; it cannot come to harm.
It's a radical concept -- at worship, at prayer, or taking a short cut on a cold winter's night God is present. Sensing that presence is to experience magic. And there's more. After arriving at his destination, the evening held yet another "a-ha" moment, for Fox, "... I brought them Scriptures and, and told them there was an anointing within man to teach him, and that the Lord would teach his people himself." Not only is God present, the Divine is assessable to all of us--without special training or intermediary.
* God is alive.... Alive is afoot....Alive is in command. Many weak men hungered. Many strong men thrived. Though they boasted solitude, God was at their side. Nor the dreamer in his cell, nor the captain on the hill.
What magic God embraces. Swirling dancing loving growing reaching teaching. Life is not always good, not always easy. Terrible things happen-- evil things, sad things by the wheelbarrow full. An intimate relationship with God, faith, gives strength to face those things with an abundant heart, with certain knowledge of joy in the face of dreadful reality. I've experienced it, and I know. The magic of the Divine presence is in our lives for the looking. Nourishing, healing, giving hope where none should logically exist. It's often not easy. It's rarely logical. Ultimately though a life of faith, a life in relationship with an ever present Divine, is always wonderful.
Recognized or not, it is present. In experiencing of God's love in our daily lives the magic becomes real. And in becoming real the magic grows and multiplies and overflows in unexpected places and unplanned ways. There is great risk in giving a life over to God, even giving it over a little bit. But the surprises, the elation at encountering the magic unfold, is magnificent beyond language, beyond description.
The Divine is present to each of us without need of intermediary, without proscribed ritual, without formal prayer. God is directly accessible to everyone. True religion is learned from direct experience, not from books or certain words. It surmounts discordance and anguish, overwhelming them and celebrating in persistent love. Pretty fanatic stuff. Because it is so much part of the framework of Friends understanding it is easy to forget just how radical a concept it is when put from theory to a life.
* This I mean to whisper to my mind: This I mean to laugh with in my mind: This I mean my mind to serve 'Til service is but magic, moving thru the world And mind itself is magic, coursing thru the flesh And flesh itself is magic, dancing on a clock, And Time itself, the magic length of God!
God is present for the noticing. God is alive. The lessons of the Divine are there for the taking. Talk with each other of God in your life. Practice the language. Share the lessons. Magic is afoot.
(* quotations from the poem, God is Alive, Magic is Afoot by Leonard Cohen (c) 1966)

UConn women roll past Providence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Kaleena Mosqueda Lewis scored 17 points and Kelly Faris aded 16 to lead No. 3 Connecticut to a 105-49 win Tuesday night over Providence, the Huskies fourth 100-point game this season.
Faris, who was making her 100th consecutive start, hit six of her eight shots, and added six rebounds and five assists.
Mosqueda-Lewis, the nation's leading 3-point shooter, had three more for the Huskies (23-1, 10-1 Big East), who had six players in double figures.
Brianna Edwards had 17 points to lead Providence (7-17, 2-9), and Tori Rule added 11.
UConn hit 24 of its 30 attempts from the foul line, while Providence attempted just four free throws, hitting two.
It was UConn's 28th straight win over Providence, which has not beaten the Huskies since the semifinals of the 1993 Big East tournament.
Every player scored for the Huskies, who shot 57 percent from the field. Freshman Moriah Jefferson scored a season-high 13 points, hitting six of her seven shots. Fellow first-year Breanna Stewart finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Connecticut, which leads the nation in scoring, opened with a 3-point barrage. Mosqueda-Lewis, Caroline Doty and Bria Hartley all hit 3s, along with a conventional 3-point play from Faris helped turn a 3-2 deficit into a 14-3 lead less than 3 minutes into the game.
The Huskies hit their first four from behind the arc and had a 20-point lead less than 7 minutes in.
UConn came into the game ranked fourth nationally in the number of 3-point field goals made per game, while Providence ranked 322nd in field goal defense. The Huskies were 7 of 18 from 3-point range. UConn also showed off its passing game with 22 assists on its 37 baskets.
Doty had the 300th assist of her UConn career when she hit Stewart for a layup that gave UConn a 34-14 advantage. The Huskies led 56-29 at halftime, the eighth time they have scored more than 50 in a first half this season.
Mosqueda-Lewis now has 72 3-point baskets. She came into the game hitting 50 percent of her shots from behind the arc, but was just 3 of 8 against the Friars.
Faris became just the fourth Husky to start 100 straight games, joining Renee Montgomery (140), Jennifer Rizzotti (135), and Jamelle Elliott (106).
She scored the Huskies first three baskets of the second half, including a fast-break reverse layup that gave UConn its first 30-point advantage at 61-31.
UConn cruised from there.
Providence, which won 16 of the first 17 meetings between the teams, but have lost the last 11 meetings between the two teams by an average of more than 39 points.
The Huskies came in leading the nation in scoring at almost 83 points per game, and It was the third straight game the Huskies had put up at least 90 points, the first time they have accomplished that feat this season.
Symne Roberts who is from New Britain, Conn. had nine points for the Friars, but hit just four of her 15 shots.
Roberts and Rule have been responsible for almost 49 percent of the team's offense in conference play.
The Friars were coming off an 82-54 loss on Sunday to South Florida and have now dropped five of six.
The Huskies need just two more wins to post their 20th straight season with at least 25 win.
