Excerpt from the first in the Wyoming Romances series, sensual contemporary Western mini romance
"To the One I Never Forgot"
"To the One I Never Forgot"
There's nothing like sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.
Dusk descended. With only the glow of her laptop's screen for illumination and with nothing that sounded more appealing than looking for clues by stalking people from high school on social media, Gianna propped her chin in her hand and continued to search. She was almost positive after so many fruitless nights that Zack wouldn't have friended any of these people. They hadn't ever liked him, and he had seemed oblivious to them and their exclusive groups. And she certainly didn't care about connecting with any of them.
Zack was the only one she was interested in discovering. He was the first and only one she had ever been interested in. But wasn't it just her luck that the people she really didn't have any fond memories of were so easy to find online? Just a few keystrokes brought up their broadly smiling faces. Minus the braces and acne, it was true, but still not any more attractive than they had ever been although she suspected they were much more likely to invent exciting backgrounds and beautiful wives earning top salaries in their fields. Not to mention perfect little families of two children who had lots of adorable pictures snapped while traipsing along on fabulous vacations.
Her own profile was pretty skimpy. She avoided having a recent picture taken because she still saw the same skinny nobody she had been back then when she looked in the mirror. She owned her own company, but didn't bring up its existence on her personal page. Most of her accomplishments and her education, along with her whereabouts, weren't available for public consumption. In fact, the only people she was connected to on social media had sought her out. She spent her time online looking, not interacting.
The one Gianna tried so hard to find—just to see how he was doing of course, if he was happy, if he had a good life—seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.
So far this had been yet one more wasted night. What did it say about her that she would rather stay home and look for Zack than start up again with somebody new? But the truth was, she didn't want anybody else. She had never wanted anyone else. She had only ever wanted Zack.
Yet the thought nagged: wasn't it about time to give up? Anyone would tell her she had spent enough time chasing a dream. If her mother knew how Gianna spent her nights, she would try to get her back in therapy. So she didn't confide in her mother. In fact, she hadn't felt close to her mother in years...not since the last time Gianna had seen Zack. Six long years ago.
As she sat in the dark and the silence tapping keys, what the search engine brought up, as if it had been waiting for her to find it at just that moment of loneliness and bittersweet nostalgia, was a new website called To the One I Never Forgot. Similar to those sites where you could send an anonymous apology out into the ether for the unkind or downright cruel things you had done to other people and always felt bad about, this site was a place to post memories of, and explanations to, the one who got away. As much as the apology sites, To the One I Never Forgot was not specifically designed to reach the person who had been wronged or left behind. The anonymous confessions were designed merely to ease the guilt of the guilty.
Well, she was that, Gianna thought. Guilty. She had always felt bad about the way she had let Zack slip away without a word. She still couldn't believe he could just disappear. He had to have had a reason, no matter how lame. Maybe if she took the time and wrote it all down, she would feel better about the non-resolution of their abruptly truncated affair. Maybe she could start to forget.
Before she could think better of it, she typed in a user name and a password, and created a profile along with a pretty, free stock picture of fireworks. And then she started typing.
To the one I never forgot,
I remember the first time I saw you. I was fifteen and starting a new school in a new town. I was late because Daddy had just got his new job and we hadn't moved soon enough to register for the school year. I was so nervous I couldn't eat breakfast, but my stomach felt sick as I walked into that classroom filled with people I didn't know. Most turned their heads and stared at me as I clutched my book bag to my stomach while trying to find an empty seat. But when you turned and looked at me,I remember you had the biggest, friendliest smile on your face, as if you had just been waiting for me all your life and were so glad to finally see me. You had on this shirt, some kind of safari shirt, it had five or six pockets, even one on the sleeve. I remember thinking you must be big into science or computers; no one with a hint of fashion sense would be caught dead in a shirt like that. I found a seat and class started. I was still feeling too anxious to really hear much of anything that was said, until my name was called. When I looked up, the whole class had craned their heads around again to look at me. And nobody looked exceptionally friendly. Nobody except, once again, you. Again you had that warm, wonderful smile on your face when you looked at me, and in your smile I found confidence. I knew we were destined to have meaning in each other's lives.
She stopped typing. Maybe that was enough. Maybe she had finally got it out of her system and could settle down to sleep. She signed the post Brown Eyed Girl, clicked SEND, logged off and closed the lid on her laptop, plunging the room into darkness.
Zack stared at the screen of his phablet. Almost as big as a tablet computer, it was also a full-featured camera phone. He knew he looked like a geek holding the thing up to his ear to talk, but what the hell, he was a geek so it didn't matter who knew it. The duality of the machine charmed him. It saved him from having to buy a computer, since he was seldom within reach of Wi-Fi to use the Internet. And when he needed a phone, which was even more seldom, he had the phone in the mini tablet, which was another good thing since he was rarely in the area of a cell tower. He supposed he could break down and pay for satellite communications up on the mountain. But there were so few people he needed to communicate with, he thought the expensive service for rural areas a waste of money.
He had come into town for supplies, autumn rapidly giving way to winter in the high country near South Pass. He owned a snowmobile, so it wasn't like he couldn't escape from his solitude if he really wanted to make the trip, but he didn't like the thought of being caught in an avalanche when winter truly arrived and the snow fell and melted to ice and then more snow fell on top, making conditions extremely treacherous. And anyway, he was a pretty careful guy. He liked the sight of food in his cupboards when he opened the doors, and so if he was a bit obsessive about stocking up, so what? Better safe than sorry.
But staying overnight in a motel so he could keep a longstanding dental appointment the next day wasn't his idea of time well spent. He couldn't sleep with all the coming and going in the parking lot, the vibrations in the walls from televisions turned up too loud, the slamming of room doors and echoes of strangers' voices. He was especially bothered by the heavy tread of feet on the concrete walkway outside his room. He was grateful that at least he had snagged a room on the second floor and could probably convince his eyes to close as soon as things quieted down and everyone else settled in for the night.
Just a small touch of PTSD, he thought wryly, legacy of his time in the Middle East. He was glad that at least that he was on the second floor and didn't have to contend with the sounds of people walking overhead, which was something guaranteed to cause him a bad night.
Antsy but at the same time bored, idly scrolling the timeline of a social medium he rarely visited under the assumed name he sometimes had trouble recalling when too much time passed between sign ins, he barely noticed an invitation to "like" the page of a website called, of all the cheesy names, To the One I Never Forgot. He stopped, scrolled back up, and looked again. Then, curious in spite of himself and his initial reaction to the site's sentimental come-on, he clicked on the page.
"In the words of the immortal P. T. Barnum, there's one born every minute," he murmured to himself. But sucker or not, the next click on a blue URL link took him to the website. He hesitated at the requirements of user name and password. He was suspicious by nature, a trait almost ground into his pores during the war, and he was sure that he would have to cough up more personal information as well as a credit card number if he registered. But what the hell, he could afford it, and he had become skilled at making up a persona to fit any occasion. But to his surprise nothing else was required of him. When his invented login information was accepted, he was free to peruse the profiles of all the sad people pouring their hearts out as they described their long-lost loves.
It felt a tad creepy in a way, sitting in the dark in a rented room, reading all the angst-ridden stories of people looking for forgiveness for messing up and closure for relationships gone awry. He had never dreamed there were so many stories of metaphorical ships passing—or sometimes— colliding in the night, tales of old passions and the seeking of forgiveness and maybe even some hope of renewal. He found that although some were, most of the people doing the confessing weren't actually looking to take up again with lost loves. They seemed to be just trying to get past that place where they thought they had grievously wronged somebody, and years later still didn't have a clue how to go about trying to fix it.
He looked for a while, idly hoping he could soon log off and get to sleep. But the longer he looked, the more stupid he felt, like some kind of voyeur or something. He should get off the Internet and go to bed, whether sleep came or not. He wasn't sure what he thought he was doing wasting time on a website with a name like To the One I Never Forgot. He didn't readily admit to himself any longer that there was someone in his own past he had never forgotten, someone who still brought up unwanted and deeply buried pools of sorrow for a sweet connection severed without explanation and a solemn promise broken. He wasn't prepared to admit, even now, how much he missed Gianna.
And then he saw the profile picture of bright fireworks against a black night sky. He paused. Just like the fireworks from that night so long ago. He read the user name: Brown Eyed Girl. He thought, No, it couldn't be. And then he started reading.
It was that damned shirt. As soon as he read the entry and the description of the geek shirt he had once owned, he was sure he knew the author.
Gianna. It had to be.

From the very start, San Francisco's Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has positively oozed rock 'n' roll, thanks in part to their guitar-heavy Brit rock influences and in part to their shiny black leather jackets. When they recorded "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n' Roll," one of their debut disc's best tracks, it was less of a question and more of a declaration, a promise to keep the spirit of alive. Over the course of the band's 15-year-long career spanning seven albums, BRMC has managed to do just that.
That's not to say they haven't strayed over the years. Case in point: 2005's gospel- and roots-driven Howl, arguably their best work. "Everything changes," says BRMC bassist Robert Levon Been, who, along with singer-guitarist Peter Hayes, is an original member of the band. "It's the same as with anything. You're a little smarter, a little dirtier, a little prettier, and, apparently, continually less likely to die young." However, some things don't change. And in the case of BRMC, the band latched onto a core sound with their self-titled 2001 debut and never let go.
BRMC's latest record, 2013's Specter at the Feast, a collection that Been says explores "life, death, wreckage, rainfall, beasts, believers, masks, gods, bikes, blues, sharks, shadows, zealots, belonging, chrome, nothing," could easily stand side-by-side with 2003's Take Them On, On Your Own, 2007's Baby 81, or pretty much anything else they've recorded. (Even the rootsy Howl still has that indistinguishable Black Rebel Motorcycle Club sound.) Specter at the Feast is spacey and grungy, hard-driving and haunting, psychedelic and poppy. The lead-off track "Fire Walker," in particular, shows off Been, Hayes, and drummer Leah Shapiro at their Black Rebel best. The bass drones in the background like crooked footsteps passing through the fog, while the eerie tone is enhanced by the echo of floating harmonies rising above the flames. It's a good opener for a good album by a band that has made one good album after another.
For Been, the songs the band has made over the course of its career blend together into a unifying blur of noise when BRMC takes the stage. "It's all just firehouse noise set to a beat," Been says. "It's impossible to tell in a room full of smoke and screams which three minutes you like the best. That's what also makes live performances so exciting."

SummerHill Homes
SANTA CLARA — Nearly 900 rental and for-sale homes are being offered in Santa Clara, part of what's described as an urban town within walking distance of a rail stop.
The Nuevo complex will consist of 868 homes, along with 40,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a 4,000-square-foot community center, six acres of parks and a neighborhood garden.
The homes consist of 537 rental apartments and 331 residences of varying sizes that are for sale, according to project developer SummerHill Homes.
"Located in the global center of technology, Nuevo will cater to the needs of the modern home buyer by meeting the growing demand for centrally located housing in close proximity to major job centers, entertainment and retail," said Robert Freed, president of SummerHill Homes.
With its location a few blocks from Sunnyvale's Lawrence Station, which is served by Caltrain, the Nuevo complex will have the draw of being near a rail stop.
Prices for the homes range from $1.2 million to $2 million range. At the end of 2018, the median price for a Santa Clara County home, excluding condominiums, was $1.15 million.
The homes have two, three, or four bedrooms, depending on the floor plans. The apartments are one and two bedrooms, although pricing and precise sizes are yet to be revealed for the rental units.
The project at some point will also include a 126-unit condominium building that will be developed by veteran home builder Toll Brothers.
SummerHill homes recently obtained a pair of loans from Wells Fargo totaling $266 million that will be used for the project's construction.
People should be able to start moving into the first groups of homes by late this year, SummerHill said.
The parks in Nuevo are slated for completion before year's end. The community center is due open in the spring of 2020.
The hiring surge by the tech sector has intensified the hunt for housing in Silicon Valley.
Through a combination of property purchases, leases, or both, tech behemoths such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon have launched an expansion boom that's the greatest in memory. That growth surge has, in turn, increased demand for homes near the Bay Area's employment hubs.
"Silicon Valley continues to lead the Bay Area's tech boom with four times more tech occupancy than San Francisco," said Chris Neighbor, chief operating officer with SummerHill. "With new companies moving into the area and existing companies expanding their footprint, the demand for high-quality new housing will only continue to rise."

A dazzling Maureen O'Hara plays Kate Maxwell, saloon proprietress, in 1870s Wyoming. A battle is brewing between established ranchers and the wave of homesteaders. Kate Maxwell has some "history" with a promoter named Jim Averell (William Bishop) who fans the discontent of the homesteaders. But Sheriff Stan Blaine (Alex Nicol) attracts Kate's keen interest as he investigates a rustling scheme.
I was impressed by Maureen O'Hara's athleticism! She rides horses with her flowing dresses and streaming red hair! She fires her Winchester rifle with cool aplomb. I immediately wanted to watch another Maureen O'Hara movie. I had forgotten how much Star Power she had! Are you a Maureen O'Hara fan? Which of her films do you recommend? GRADE: B+

The Importance of the Post Labor Day Trade
By Dr. Duru written for One-Twenty
September 5, 2006
Many traders look forward to the action after Labor Day. The Tuesday following Labor Day effectively marks the end of summer and the listless, low volume trading that supposedly occurs every year. Then again, we have all heard how September and October have historically averaged the worst monthly performances (on the S&P 500) of all months. We have learned to dread the return to trading in the early Fall! How do we reconcile the anticipation versus the anxiety?
When I last tried to measure the importance of post Labor Day trading, I compared the day change in price of the S&P 500 at the close the Tuesday after Labor Day to the remaining index performance for September and October. The results were mixed. This year, I decided to tackle the issue from a much broader perspective. I looked for how strongly correlated the post Labor Day trade has been to other price changes over the year. I also looked at whether these various time periods tended to show higher or lower % gains than the post Labor Day trade. My results were quite surprising!
I measured several time periods all based on the closing price of the S&P 500 on the day in question:
The time period covered 1962 to 2006. I next measured the correlations of the post Labor Day trade to the other four time periods. I also measured the correlation of the Year to Labor Day vs Year-Over-Year. Since all the correlations turned up positive, I added a table comparing the size of the price change from the post Labor Day trade to the other time periods.
I have posted the results below to allow you to form your own conclusions. (I can also send to you the raw data of this analysis if you need it. Just email me.) This is what I conclude:

S&P 500 "Labor Day" Analysis (as of 9/4/06)
Be careful out there!

There are many responsibilities that go along with owning a dog. You need to ensure that they receive plenty of exercise and attention and when they aren't feeling well, a trip to the veterinarian may be in order. It is also important that you choose the right type of webbox dog food, because it can make a difference in their health.
Many pet owners only choose https://www.webbox.co.uk/products/dog/natural/webbox-natural-dry-dog-food-adult-chicken-brown-rice natural dog food that is the best thing for their animal. After all, there are so many commercial dog food choices available at the store and all of them seem to be quite nice as well. When you begin to look under the surface, however, you start to discover just how bad those commercial dog foods can be for your dog.
The first thing that you need to do is to look beyond the advertising that is attached to those different types of foods. Quite simply, they can make anything look good and it doesn't matter what is in the food, they can certainly get a dog to eat it as if it were the first meal he had in days (yes, they actually do that).
Try to ignore the beautiful pictures of healthy dogs on the containers and take a look at the ingredients that are actually in the food. More than likely, you will find that corn makes up a large percentage of that list. When was the last time you saw a dog eating corn in the wild? You might also be surprised to learn that there are very few regulations as to what can go into commercial dog food.
Rather than taking the risk with the health of your dog, choose webbox.co.uk natural dog food that provides your animal with everything they need. When your animal gets the right type of food, you can expect that they will live a long and healthy life.

Web design is the cornerstone of any moving company's marketing strategy.
On a website, you can list everything about your business and earn new customers in a snap. But there's a catch: Your site has to look good enough to show those customers that you're the right choice.
A well-designed website will stand well above and beyond other sites in your industry and show that your business is exceptional.
With a website that includes modern design trends and optimization strategies, you won't have to tell your customers that you're the best moving company in town — they'll know it just by looking at your site.
There are three major qualities that'll make your website stand out against your competitors. We'll address each of them below.
All websites aren't created equally. It takes a lot of time, effort, and testing to make a new site work as intended, and even more to turn it into a customer-generating property for your business.
(We'll get to that in our last section.)
For starters, your site design should include your company's name and logo on every page. Beyond that, you should also have your name, address, and phone number in the footer of every page so new customers can contact you at a glance.
High-quality web design also includes elements of user experience design (UX). That means you empathize with your website's users to figure out how they see your site, how they move through it, and what makes them convert into full-paying customers.
That means you need to have clear navigation, fast page loading speeds, concise calls to action, and minimal errors.
Once you've incorporated all of those principles into your website, you can be sure you're attracting and converting as many new customers as possible.
In addition to that, web design is a major ranking signal to Google for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes.
Well-designed websites often outrank poorly-made ones because they offer Google's users a better experience. Ultimately, that's Google's goal with every search — to provide the best possible experience to searchers.
You fulfill that parameter by using a modern and well-crafted website to promote your brand online.
Google may not see your site the same way as a human visitor, but its algorithm can "read" your site's code extraordinarily well. So when you have a quality website, Google knows and adjusts your site's ranking in search results accordingly.
Overall, that means the design of your site isn't just important in terms of appearance — it's also important in terms of profit!
But general web design is just the tip of the iceberg.
Responsive design is the process of making your website show up properly on every device from a desktop computer to a smartphone.
While that may sound like a lot for a local moving company, it's still important.
Responsive design is now a major ranking factor in Google, and other search engines have followed suit. So if you want to outdo your competitors in search results, you need a website that works properly on any Internet-connected device, regardless of browser or screen size.
This also works to your advantage from a UX perspective. When your website works on every device, you let anyone become a customer.
This is the opposite of what happens when you only design for desktop computers. When someone tries to access a desktop-only site on a smartphone, the site looks cluttered, small, and unreliable.
But when you have a site that looks perfect on screen — even if that screen is only 4" long — you make it easier for your users to read.
That makes it easier for them to enjoy your website, learn about your company, and eventually convert into a customer.
So even though responsive design may deal with how your moving company's website appears, its implications go much further than that.
Responsive design not only covers your website's appearance — it also affects your user interactions and site functionality.
With that in mind, the best websites in the world are all responsive.
Even if you're the only moving company in town and you already rank well in Google search results for your target keywords, it's still smart to incorporate responsive design into your website to provide a better user experience.
Once you've done that, you can be sure you'll get more customers from your site.
And you can get even more with our third web design strategy.
Bill Craig WebFX President
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the process of testing your website to learn how you can get as many new customers as possible.
So once you have a top-notch website that's responsive to all Internet-connected devices, you can work on getting as many new customers as possible.
The #1 CRO strategy for moving companies is A/B testing. In an A/B test, you create two (or more) variations of the same call to action (CTA) on a page and see which performs best over the course of about a month.
This strategy works best when you apply it to a page with a lot of traffic and a low conversion rate. The smallest changes can make the biggest difference — even if you just change the color of a button at the bottom of a page!
You can also test other elements of a page aside from your CTA. The headings, font size, image placement, and sidebar are all valid subjects for your A/B tests.
Plus, using A/B tests helps you understand your customers better.
So if you suddenly increase your conversion rate by 10% because you changed the color of a button, you can apply that change to your entire site to see how it does.
Most of the time, an improvement to one page will also improve another.
Naturally, there are exceptions to this rule. But if you find something that works, you can try it on it on other pages as well!
The biggest downside to A/B testing is that it's slow. It takes a long time to get results from enough people to draw accurate conclusions.
That's because A/B testing is designed to work over the long-term.
So if you see clear results for an A/B test after a day, don't jump to conclusions just yet — over the next four weeks, you could easily see a change in those results.
In fact, the exact opposite result may come true over time!
That's because the longer you run an A/B test, the more you approach a workable average. You may have started your A/B test on a day one of your infographics went viral. That could easily skew your results for that day.
On the flip side, you may have started your A/B test at the tail end of a holiday. That would skew your data to the low side, which would make a good strategy look like it isn't working.
The point is that the longer you run an A/B test, the more accurate your results become.
Still, you don't want to run your tests for too long. Otherwise, you'll never decide on improvements.
That's why we recommend about a month of run-time. That should give you enough visitors to create a good sample size, and it'll cover enough time to accommodate seasonality or other sudden changes in traffic.
Best of all, it also makes your final changes more accurate.
When you implement changes from a long-running A/B test, you can be sure you've made a good change that'll pay dividends to your moving company's website for years to come.
If you implement changes after one day of testing, you'll probably have to A/B test again to get the long-term results you want.

Through my previous works I obtained experiences in interior- and furniture design, graphical design, jewellery design and on the special subject of gastro design as well. The experiental field on which my associations and my solution proposals lean is most wide. As a result, this often begets staggering solutions even if the vocational routine has short-circuit.
"I speak all the languages of design without an accent." I am Péter Kucsera, designer.
I like to do useful things: The designer rarely secures a task in which making use of his knowledge may attain results that are useful in truth. Gaining an advertisement tender is a big feat no dubt, profit makes the firm manager happy too, but to see a satisfied user is the largest available aim.
I like to do useless things: It lightened up during several design projects, that the socially also sensitive designer may reveal values like that apart from the actual solution of the ordered task, and about what the frameworks of the order do not go into detail, but the real user may be influenced by. In this manner can things seeming useless become valuable content.
Why concrete?
As designers of today we have great tools to work with. New materials, fabrics, new manufacturing technologies, and an amazing historical archive. Concrete not only has an ancient history as a durable, lasting material, but its versatile character makes it the perfect medium of creative expression as well, a vanguard raw material as much for its appearance as for its flexibility of use. Unlike its primary carcass and formwork function, this material suddenly takes on fluidity, stylishness and panache.
Why the cross?
Cross forms were used as symbols, religious or otherwise, millennia before the Christian Era as marks of identification or were significant for belief and worship. We wanted to create a universal object reflects on the european milieu and culture we live in. This well-known element has been suited for helping the object's deaper messages to be understood. Seeking a contemporary interpretation of traditional meanings and timeless values we created our new representation of the cross.
Why the tomb?
Cemetery is the place where we slow down our steps and calm our voice. It's like a chapel. But what is a tomb exactly? It is not just a connection of the departed and the bereaved, it is also a connection between the family members. We would like to crate an interactive situation, to help the family's togetherness. The natural forces change the look of the object. The water in it reflects the outer world, the mossing gives a beautiful look if nobody cares of it.
What has been the inspiration?
When I look into the surface of the water, I can see the sky. I see the clouds running, and I see the wind that blows through the trees, I see the bird, the sun, the moon, the stars. When I look into the surface of the water I see the sign I understand. When I look into the surface of the water I can see you in it standing there facing me.. and I wonder. When I look into the surface of the water I can see then if you're not there.. When I look into the surface of the water I can see the world. I see this world maybe, but different, I see it maybe the same way, it's just another world. When I stoop closer to see it better.. I catch sight of myself.

- First, our office must verify the student's disability and the functional limitations
that result.
- Medical or psychological records are used in this process.
- Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Plans are not adequate to demonstrate the functional limitations of a disability.
- In some cases, our office may determine the records provided are too old to be considered accurate. In such instances, we will recommend the student obtain a current assessment. This must be done by the student and at the student's expense.
- Next, a counselor from our office and the student discuss the limitations of the disability and decide on appropriate accommodations. Some accommodations may be provided by our office. Other accommodations will require the student to make the request of the instructor.
- Contact between a counselor at Disabilities Services and the student is a crucial part of determining how the student will obtain accommodations.
- Our office will draft a letter to send electronically to a student's instructors. The letter introduces the student and informs the instructor that the student's disability has been verified by our office. It stipulates the accommodations that are reasonable and which logically address the student's limitations. Thus, the letter's purpose is to assist the student in requesting accommodations from instructors.
- The student needs to be active in requesting their accommodations. Do not assume the professor will take care of it, that our office will pull a student through school, or that a parent can do it for them. As an adult, a student must take responsibility for their own education.
- In the case of auxiliary aides and services, our office maintains lists of qualified professionals and equipment.
- We recommend students identify and request accommodations with plenty of advance notice to ensure their accommodations will be there when they need them. Ideally the student should contact their instructors prior to the first day of class to discuss classroom formats and the appropriate accommodations for that class. Depending upon the accommodation they will need to remind the instructor and then confirm the arrangements have been made for their use.
- Accommodations are provided at no expense to the student and are based upon each individual's unique needs. The process of requesting and receiving accommodations is interactive; all people involved — the student, the instructor, our office and sometimes individual departments and programs, work together to make sure the process works.
- Each semester the student will need to request accommodations and come in prior to the beginning of the semester to sign necessary paperwork to receive those accommodations.

Polin's 'Art gallery' at IAAPA showcases new, different, waterslide components.
Turkey (November 12, 2015) - Polin Waterparks changed the way that waterslides look when it offered the first waterslides composed via Resin-Transfer Molding (RTM) technology. That manufacturing technology was revolutionary when it was introduced 9 years ago, and today it continues to set the standard for the waterslide parts.
The result has been a range of waterslide options from Polin that range from solid colors to translucent with optional Special Pattern Effects, Natural Light Effects and, most recently, Natural Sound Effects. (See details that follow on these patented options.)
But Polin has now set a new standard for waterslide manufacturing excellence. It' s newest technology innovation turns waterslides into genuine works of art with both interior and exterior designs - fully embedded into the production of the waterslides - that will change the way waterslides are themed forever more.
Seven new options - Fusing Waterslides with Art
Seven new options in component visual design from Polin offer nearly unlimited opportunities for waterparks looking to set themselves apart. Now, they not only can offer guests a thrilling ride experience but also fully themed slides that seamlessly reflect a park's motif in ways never before available.
The new options include:
Slide 'n Roll. This new offering combines all of Polin's exclusive technologies - unique sound, lighting and design special effects - into one slide to create an experience that fulfills the full range of sensory stimuli for guests.
Graffiti. The design application includes customizable, hand-drawn, exclusive illustrations that will create a strong and unique visual impact. All Graffiti designs are tailor-made to a park's theme.
Mosaic. Parks looking for a sophisticated alternative for their slides can choose the Mosaic exterior. This option reflects the Italian art of tesserae - a design technique in which individual tiles form the shape of a cube. But unlike actual tesserae, Polin's version is one solid piece of design and is available in a wide range of colors.
Triangulated. The three-dimensional, embossed surface of this option reflects light much like a solid prism. The unique geometrical shapes of this design create truly artistic theming options.
Wood 'n Slide. For parks eager to add a natural look to their slides, this option provides an astonishingly realistic wooden finish in a variety of wood veneer options.
Reflection. The visual appeal of high-tech facades are created from the metallic colors applied to this offering. Shiny, reflective and glossy surface finishes are available in gold, silver, copper and platinum.
Honey Comb. Similar to the Triangulated option, this specialty pattern is cut and applied to Polin's slide components to create a honey-comb appearance. A surprising number of metal patterns can be created from this option.
On display in the Polin "Art Gallery" at IAAPA
Visitors to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo, Nov. 17-20 in Orlando, Fla., can explore an art gallery of Polin's inspired designs within its booth, No. 4239. Polin invites all attendees to stop by.
Sohret Pakis, Director of Marketing and Communication for Polin, says the new offerings are proof that Polin is constantly striving to offer new experiences. "We are always taking it one step further -from our current design options" she said. " These offerings are just one more example of how we want our park partners to be able to offer the unique experience for their guests and enhance storytelling."
More on Natural Light Effects technology
Due to a special, patented process that Polin employs during the manufacturing of its tunnel-type fiberglass waterslide components, the tubes can create beautiful, natural designs inside them as riders pass through when its Natural Light Effects technology is chosen. The special lighting effect - which requires no electricity - occurs from the sun's rays shining through the slide's fiberglass sides and interacting with the flow of water through the tubes. The results are harmonious, colorful designs that continually change and adapt depending on the angle and strength of the sunlight. Both riders inside the slides and viewers on the ground can enjoy the dynamic experience as lighting changes throughout the day.
More on Special Pattern Effects technology
Polin enhances the slide experience through the incorporation of a special manufacturing technique of fiberglass coloration that is applied on the outer surface of the ride. Polin uses open-mold production methods to create the Special Pattern Effects and incorporates Magic Shine, which doubles the visual feast with its shiny exterior.
More on Natural Sound Effects technology
With Polin's new Natural Sound Effects technology, its waterslide modules essentially become giant, passive speakers that naturally amplify sound through the entire tube due to the company's innovative incorporation of tactile transducers into the systems. Also known as bass shakers, these devices transmit a low-frequency vibration onto a surface - in this case, Polin's waterslide tubes - so that the vibrations turn into sound and can be heard by riders as they travel through the slide.

You have no items in your cart.
Is it a Meteorite?
They come to earth from outer space: ancient pieces of dislodged asteroids and planets that have passed through our solar system and eventually crashed on our soil. To discover one of these amazing space travelers is to hold something valuable in the hand that has never experienced human contact before. Just imagine what it has witnessed in its travels over the last 4.5 billion years. But is it really a meteorite or is it just an ordinary rock indigenous to planet earth?
Meteorites can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and their color can range from a rusty and pitted brown to an oxidized and smooth black or gray, or any combination there of. Obviously this makes their identification a difficult task, some samples even requiring some rather costly and time consuming tests. But don't despair as there are some simple field tests that you can perform on your own to help you to determine whether your discovery is just another ordinary rock from earth or a possible meteorite that has traveled through time and space.
The Hand Test
As you can see it is the specimen's overall density and consistency that will determine its shape and size and color when it eventually crashes into our soil. So this is the first thing we need to keep in mind when we're in the field examining potential discoveries. We need to hold the item in our hand so we can judge its density compared to its size and we also need to examine the item's shape and color. These are some of the first clues that can often suggest the item's true identity.
- Does the rock feel exceptionally heavy for its size? This might be hard to tell, but it's only one possible characteristic.
- Is the rock pitted or dimpled?
- What is the rock's color makeup? A sample with a thin, dark crust (that's different than the rest of the rock) could be a meteorite.
The Magnetic Test
A second test that can be performed in the field is the simple magnet test. Since meteorites generally possess a high metallic iron content they will likewise readily attract a magnet. Be sure to use a cheap, ceramic magnet and not a fancy rare-earth magnet. While this isn't a foolproof test it is a fairly reliable test when the suspected rock also possesses one or more of the attributes listed above. Just keep in mind that man has used iron to forge tools and utensils since the beginning of time and that slag and scraps from these past iron works is a fairly common discovery while in the field. Also keep in mind that in certain regions of the country nature iron deposits are quite common, which brings us to our next simple test.
The Tile Test
A third test that can be conducted in the field is the Tile Test. Basically, this just requires a simple piece of ceramic tile, like those that are laid in a bathroom or kitchen. These tiles have two sides, a glazed and smooth side and a rough unfinished side. You'll want to use the rough and unfinished side for this test. All you're going to do here is to use your rock in such a way that it creates a streak when dragged across the rough side of the tile. So when conducting this test you'll want to apply enough pressure to create a firm streak.
If your rock leaves a gray or black streak on the tile then your rock is not a meteorite. The same can be said if your rock leaves a reddish streak as this is a sign that your rock contains hematite, another mineral not found in meteorites. On the other hand, however, if your suspected rock leaves no streak on your ceramic tile then it is possibly a meteorite and it's time to move on to the next test.
The File Test
This next test requires a file and it is also going to require that you leave a scar on your suspected rock. Unfortunately this test must be conducted so that we can gather a better look at the inner skin of the rock. In most cases this scar won't hurt the potential of the rock.
If, after filing a spot of the rock flat, you can see small specks and/or streaks of shiny metallic material in the rock then you may have a meteorite. If the content of the rock doesn't have these streaks or specks then it probably isn't a meteorite. Most meteorites will contain these metallic properties.
And this is how you can test your suspected meteorites discoveries in the field. Unfortunately, the only way to achieve a 100% identification is by sending the suspected rock off to lab where they have the capabilities to conduct a more thorough and conclusive test. But more than likely, if your suspected space rock passes most of these basic tests, than it is likely that you have discovered a potentially valuable meteorite and an amazing piece of time and space. Hope this article helps, and, "Good luck out there!"

Re: Why Do we Play Transcendence?
I think the game gives the player a sense of epicness, of discovering something that is greater than oneself. And I've always wanted to go on a "pilgrimage" journey of sorts around the world, when I have the financial means.

Re: Need a Texture/Render Person.
The model is good, but I think it still needs a little something to make it cool. I also think that you might wanna change the choice/combination of its colors. Look forward to the final render.Resident-Pyromaniac wrote:Thank you. I have actually updated the model some.

Re: Insurance: Blessing or Curse?
I'd much, much, much rather skip insurance entirely even in a permadeath game than have them clogging up station slots. I had to go from St. K's all the way to Jiang's Star with a 100 MW reactor because there were never any drydocks or other places selling anything other than weapons. I had a Fusio...

I had a little treat last week. I've been so overly excited about it, that it verges on the ridiculous – so I thought I'd share it with you. I bought a beautiful new bag for my knitting needles – a KnitPro Thames Bag. I bought mine from A Good Yarn and if they're not in stock, then they can be ordered in for you (I ordered mine).
They're available in black, yellow, red, purple and blue. I bought the blue one and I'm really glad I did. It's a beautiful blue – almost verging on purple and the velour material on the inside is such a rich colour.
I do take my needles out with me to knit and natter quite often. I had one of the fabric KnitPro cases for quite awhile and it did the job, but if the case was upside down, then sometimes the needles fell out and the soft fabric didn't quite feel like enough protection. I kept a few fixed circulars in one of the pockets too, which was a bit cramped for them; so I've been on the look out for something that fit the bill better. The Thames bag is perfect for what I needed.
The material is faux leather and the straps are detachable, so if you want it purely as a case then you can. The case is quite hard for extra protection. On the inside, it is like a folder. There is storage on the front and back covers, as well as, two "pages" on the inside.
The elastic section is on the front and there is more than enough room to fit in my interchangeables. I've managed to fit in 13 pairs. Some share a space and the large needles have a section each – with a bit of jiffling, I think I could fit another pair or two in. The elastic is good and the needles do not move at all.
The next page has four deep pockets (all of them go down to the bottom of the "page") and one sideways buttoned pocket. These would be quite good for notions, I store mine in a different way; so for the time being I have crochet hooks, needle gauge and some fixed circulars in mine.
On the other side of the "page" is a full zipped pocket, which is perfect for all the cables for the interchangeable tips.
The next page is a clear pocket, which I think is brilliant. I've used mine for all my short 16 inch circulars and the keys and stoppers. Being able to see what's in the pocket is great, especially when trying to find the key that locks the interchangeables in place.
The back page has slots, which are very tight, so the needles don't move about at all. I've put my most used DPNs and sock circulars in there. Though it could be good for crochet hooks too. At the moment the slots are perhaps a little too tight but I'm sure they'll loosen up a bit with wear.
The whole thing zips up, so nothing is going to drop out of it. The one downside is the velour, which looks absolutely beautiful but will probably mark with use; particularly with the needles pressing on it.
If the case was another inch or two longer, then I would have been able to fit my 25cm straights in, which would have been the icing on the cake. However, I really love it and would definitely recommend them – particularly if you have a needle collection like mine!
And just because, here's a photo of my knitting...

Unless the professional praetorian media apparatus can find another 'sh**hole' to hide behind, next week is shaping up to be a VERY bad week for Democrats:
The U.S. DOJ Has Begun Taking down the low hanging fruit on the Uranium One Tree – SEE HERE
The Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, Has Begun releasing a years-worth of Investigative Documents to the House Judiciary Committee – SEE HERE
(Great job Dave)
For those that are paranoid about the DOJ/FBI leadership and want to view them as an adversary that is fine. IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. Even if they were opposed to cleaning up (which they are not) they are between a rock (IG) and a hard place (Congress) and will comply. (more)
Even Sean Hannity has discovered the BIGGER STORY behind the OIG Report – HERE
And Chairman Devin Nunes is now openly telling his colleagues in congress that the Obama, Lynch and Comey DOJ and FBI FISA violations are beyond their imaginings:
(Via Fox) House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes told Republican colleagues in two closed-door meetings this week he has seen evidence that shows clear "abuse" of government surveillance programs by FBI and Justice Department officials, according to three sources familiar with the conversations, raising more questions about whether the controversial anti-Trump dossier was used by the Obama administration to authorize surveillance of advisers to President Trump.
The California Republican made his comments in private meetings with GOP colleagues as he tried to round up votes in favor of renewing a key section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as Section 702, which eventually passed in the House on Thursday.
That part of the law specifically gives the U.S. government the power to get access to communications, such as emails or phone calls, of foreigners outside the United States who may be plotting a terrorist attack but does not allow the government to target Americans.
[…] Nunes said he would "read all 435 members of Congress into major abuses with other areas of FISA and will read members in ASAP" on those problems, according to one of the three sources familiar with the conversations. (read more)
It is a very good sign that Chairman Nunes is making these assertions publicly IN ADVANCE of Asst. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein sending him some of the KEY FBI and DOJ officials for questioning.
If the Intelligence Committee(s) and Judiciary Committee(s) are fully briefed on the FISA-702 misuse, in advance of the witnesses appearing to testify, regarding the full scope of the corruption, the hearings are certain to be filled with fireworks, self-preservation testimony and leaks even with the proceedings taking place behind closed doors.
Far too many people have now seen the evidence and even the redacted evidence is jaw-dropping in consequence. The BIG UGLY has begun; and the presentations by OIG Michael Horowitz have not yet reached sunlight.
"Consciousness of Guilt"
"Carefully overseen"?
Pg 83. "FBI gave raw Section 702–acquired information to a private entity that was not a federal agency and whose personnel were not sufficiently supervised by a federal agency for compliance minimization procedures."
During Comey's last year of tenure, someone inside the FBI was giving FISA-702 search results on U.S. individuals to a private entity that had nothing to do with government. Those 702 (American Citizen) results were not "minimized" and exposed the private data of the American citizen(s).
In addition, NSA Director Mike Rogers, who is also in charge of Cyber Command, discovered people within the intelligence community were doing "searches" of the NSA and FBI database that were returning information that had nothing to do with "Foreign Individuals".
In April 2016 Mike Rogers requested a full FISA-702 Compliance Review.
As an outcome of that review, the DOJ/FBI compliance officer noted FISA violations. Again, the FISA Court (page 84):
Renegade "private contractors", with access to raw FISA information on FBI storage systems, delivering results of their database searches to outside government entities?
We do not know how many FISA-702 violations took place prior to NSA Mike Rogers initiating the full FISA-702 review in April 2016. Nor do we know who the insider FBI individuals were; or what results were passed on; or what was done with the results…
…. yet James Comey says:
"Carefully overseen"?
"The Fix"

Based on a Naaleh.com shiur by Rabbi Moshe Weinberger
The Baal Hatanya, in his introduction to his essay, "Atem Nitzavim" explains the Torah's ambiguity about Rosh Hashana. He writes that Rosh Hashana is the day we were created. It is the beginning of man's existence. Therefore, Hashem wanted us to strain to understand it, to uncover the starting point within each of us, to remember the struggle and to recapture the magic of this very pivotal moment. This is compared to a couple remembering their wedding, and to parents recalling the birth of their first child.
When we study the Torah, mussar, chassidut, or halachot relating to a particular holiday, it is critical to understand its central core. All learning and prayer connected to a particular holiday shines forth from this point. The Torah does not specify the theme of Rosh Hashana, but Chazal tell us that "Hamelech" sums up the essence of the day. In fact, old Chabad chassidim would call Rosh Hashana the "Day of Coronation," for on this yom tov we crown Hashem as king over us.
The Gemara writes, "On Rosh Hashana, Hashem tells us, 'Say before me these prayers: Malchiyot, so you will accept my kingship, Zichronot, so that I will remember you in a good way. How does one accomplish this? With the shofar. From this passage we understand that the essential theme of Rosh Hashana is accepting Hashem's kingship, and the shofar is the means to attain this. Additionally, if we examine the prayers of Rosh Hashana, we will find that they revolve around the theme of kingship. The writings of Chassidut explain that our mission on Rosh Hashana is to reconstruct the malchut of Hashem by making ourselves worthy of crowning Him.
Rav Sadya Gaon lists several reasons why we blow shofar, but the inner meaning of the shofar is kingship and coronation. We verbalize and actualize our acceptance of Hashem's kingship through the shofar.
In Tehilim, King David writes, "Bakshu fanei, es panecha avakesh." Hashem says, "Seek my face." Panei is related to penimiyut. Our avoda on Rosh Hashana is to reveal the deep inner connection between our soul and the essence of Hashem. For a person to say "Hamelech" on Rosh Hashana and ignore the King is not only absurd but dangerous. If Hashem is really our King what kind of effect has He had on our life? Accepting the yoke of Hashem's kingship as a means to fulfill one's responsibilities as a Jew is a very important outgrowth of Rosh Hashana but it is not the core. The essence is making Hashem a part of life during the year; knowing what "melech haolam" means when we say a bracha and developing a real connection with malchut Hashem. This will all depend on how we crowned the King on His coronation day. The call of the shofar jolts us awake and the prayers of Rosh Hashana helps us realize that nothing rules over us except Hashem. Our "Hamelech" is not Wall St, Elvis Presley, our boss, or our physical desires. We answer to a Higher Authority. By tapping into the power of "melech" in everything we do, we will become stronger more dedicated servants of Hashem.

Thursday Arch Series
One of the beautiful things about the Arch is how it fills and shapes the space around it. Many pictures in this series are set against a blank sky to emphasize this quality. This one was shot on a bright summer day with the exposure reading taken from the steel of the near leg shining in the sun. That turned the far leg and sky very dark, to good visual effect. It also shows the irregular metal skin composed om many distinct plates. Each plate ripples. The Arch is not mirror-smooth, as it appears in many photographs taken from a distance.
It looks like I took this photo floating by the upper part of the Arch in a blimp (see/hear also this link). In fact, I was standing on the Missouri side of Eads Bridge, also a structure of great beauty and an engineering marvel in its time. My vantage point is high up over the Mississippi River.
I'm in Death Valley, California today, taking pictures and wandering up canyons. U "R" US will post one more tomorrow, then back to my regular stuff.
