Discover Bank is one of the nation's most popular banks because of its many credit card rewards and promotions. And it's not just the credit cards that you need to unveil with Discover Bank, but their CD rates are also something worth considering.
Discover Bank currently holds some of the nation's top rates for certificates of deposit in many categories. Below are the CD rates of Discover Bank as of January 2012:
3 Months – 0.40%
6 Months – 0.75%
9 Months – 0.85%
12 Months – 1.00%
18 Months – 1.10%
24 Months – 1.20%
30 Months – 1.25%
3 Years – 1.40%
4 Years – 1.60%
5 Years – 1.80%
7 Years – 2.05%
10 Years – 2.50%
How These Rates Compare
Discover Bank's rates are certainly comparable with other banks that are currently on the leader board for the nation's highest CD rates. Whether for short term or long term deposits, Discover Bank's rates shows just how much Discover can offer back to their customers.
Discover's rate of 0.75% for a 6 month CD is the second highest rate nationally available, after VirtualBank's 0.85%. Discover's 5 year CD is just also slightly lower than Intervest National Bank's 1.95% rate. Other interesting rates from Discover is their 7 year and ten year term at a good 2.50%.
How To Start A CD Account with Discover
Starting your savings is easy with Discover. All you have to do is choose an account type, (you can even choose five at a time), enter your personal information, fund the account using any checking or savings account with either a personal check or wire transfer, and once you've verified your information, you can submit your application.
Managing Your CD
Once you already have your CD account opened, it doesn't mean that you don't have to see it up until it matures. Discover allows you to track and manage your account 24 hours a day using either phone or Internet. You can choose to accumulate interest in your CD account, and you also have the option to transfer the interest to another account. The advantage of this is that if you need to use the earnings made by your CD, you don't have to withdraw your whole CD and suffer a penalty. It's as if your money is really earning for you.
Discover Bank is well known for offering credit cards with great promotions for their users, but their CD rates aren't too bad as well. If you're looking to invest with a stable bank that offers fixed returns, then Discover Bank is a good choice.

In his home in the dusty flatland of West Texas, the aging legend was surrounded by memories of his victories and his defeats.
The artifacts included the red sweaters and ties he wore across three decades of goading, swearing and winning at Assembly Hall. Also included were the chairs where he had presided courtside during his trio of national championships, plotting domination over Michigan, North Carolina and Syracuse. Even the championship rings he had earned with those victories were part of this collection of memorabilia.
One of the most revered and most infamous coaches in history, Bob Knight decided last fall to clean house, putting pieces of his legacy up for sale. Hundreds of items were to be auctioned online through a sports memorabilia firm.
Knight told the Associated Press he was selling the rings and the other artifacts to raise money for his grandchildren's college fund. But here in Indiana, it was hard not to wonder. After a lifetime as a coach and an analyst for ESPN, it seemed unlikely that he was strapped for cash. Was it a coincidence that the auction would begin as the Hoosiers entered the season ranked No. 1 for the first time since he left?
The coach's messy departure from IU — the firing, the lawsuits, the riot — was almost as legendary as his winning record. Since then, the university had repeatedly tried to reach out to him, inviting him to be honored at public rituals of commemoration. But the answer was always no.
Now, when the Hoosiers were back on top, Knight was selling off emblems of collective memory, even the ring symbolizing the unmatched perfection of 1976.
Was he just being a good granddad? Or was he telling IU that all those years together meant nothing?
The auction was only the latest chapter in the long saga of the coach's tempestuous relationship with IU basketball.
Knight is famous for doing nothing halfway, including holding a grudge.
Even amid the controversies of his tenure at IU, the coach was known for his epic support of the university. He raised nearly $5 million for the University's libraries and endowed chairs in the history department and the law school. His players testify to his ability to inspire them to become better players, better students and better men.
"He challenged you every day to take you places you never thought you'd go in your life," said Quinn Buckner, who played on the 1976 team. "That's what I appreciate about him."
Knight was committed to academics. If you played at IU, you were going to get a degree at IU.
Dean Garrett, another former player, remembers how he and Keith Smart hurried back to campus after they won the championship in 1987, foregoing the opportunity to prepare for a professional career.
"Keith and I didn't have the option to go to Colorado Springs and train for the NBA draft," Garrett said. "We had class! We won the championship, got back to Bloomington. Class was off the next day but the day after that we were back in class."
After a tough loss, Knight was torn apart. In the book "A Season on the Brink," journalist John Feinstein chronicled Knight's highs and lows over the course of one season.
"Knight was incapable of accepting failure," Feinstein wrote. "Failure on any level all but destroyed him, especially failure in coaching because it was coaching that gave him his identity, made him special, set him apart."
University Chancellor Emeritus Kenneth Gros Louis, who knew Knight during his time at IU, would find Knight alone after a loss at home, hitting golf balls into the large net at Gladstein Fieldhouse.
Even in a good season, Knight was volatile.
"People who knew him well as I did could tell over the course of a basketball season, to use a metaphor, when the springs were getting tight and when they were about to burst," Gros Louis said.
In March 2000, a video of Knight placing his hands on the neck of a player prompted then IU President Myles Brand to put Knight under a "zero-tolerance" policy. Any more violations and Knight would be locked out.
On Sept. 7, 2000, an unsuspecting freshman named Kent Harvey saw the coach in Assembly Hall.
"Hi, Knight," he said.
The coach grabbed Harvey.
"And as he's moving, I put my hand on the inside of his elbow and I looked at him," Knight said at the time, "and I said, 'Son, my name isn't Knight for you. It's Coach Knight or it's Mr. Knight. I don't call people by their last name and neither should you.'"
For Brand, that was enough. Knight had broken the zero-tolerance policy.
Riots hit Bloomington and campus. Property was destroyed. Brand was hung in effigy. Harvey was threatened with death.
During the summer of 2012, representatives from Steiner Sports — an auction house that specializes in sports memorabilia — sorted through boxes in his home and garage to find artifacts from his past life. By mid-October they had collected, photographed and appraised all the items he wanted to send away.
Knight was having a veritable garage sale of all the things he'd collected over the years. There were trophies, plaques, shoes, guns, photographs, an Olympic gold medal, newspaper clippings, signed baseballs, pocketknives, ball-caps, clocks and even an edition of Guitar Hero — still in the box.
"I've got stuff I didn't even know I had," Knight told the AP. "I don't put anything up in the house. If you came into the house you would think I was a mailman. And I don't even wear rings."
Bidding for Knight's NCAA Championship rings started slow. The 1987 ring was the most active item with five bids and $20,000 in the last days of November.
Knight's 1976 ring from the Hoosier's perfect season was going for $15,100 with five bids and the 1981 ring held steady at $7,500 with only two bids.
In 2009, the University began trying to reconcile with the estranged coach who had brought Assembly Hall three NCAA championships.
A new University president, Michael McRobbie, a new athletics director, Fred Glass, and a promising new head coach, Tom Crean, meant that few, if any, faces from his time at IU were still in Bloomington.
So Glass led a push to induct Knight into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame. Glass wrote a personal letter to Knight, asking him to come to Bloomington for the induction ceremony.
"I didn't want to be part of an induction process that didn't involve Coach Knight," Glass said, "because I felt he belonged in the Hall of Fame."
Knight refused. There were too many people he didn't want to see, according to a letter read in his absence. He said his appearance would take attention away from the other inductees.
Last season, plans were made to honor Knight's 1987 team on the 25th anniversary of their NCAA Championship. Crean has said he admires Knight and said that he hoped the coach would be in attendance.
"I would hope Bob Knight knows he has a 365-day invitation to come back," Crean said last year. "For him to come back, that's totally up to him. I wouldn't hesitate in welcoming him back — there's no question about that. And if we knew he was coming back, I'd be running out there opening the doors."
Knight didn't show.
At the beginning of this season, only a few weeks into the auction of Knight's rings, the Hoosiers went to Brooklyn for the Progressive Legends Classic. The game against Georgia was broadcast on ESPN and called by Knight. What happened next was chronicled in a series of nine photos by Herald-Times photographer Chris Howell.
After the game, Crean walked toward the broadcast table but play-by-play analyst Dan Shulman stepped in front of him. Shulman and Crean shook hands, but Crean moved past Shulman and extended a hand to Knight.
Shulman kept a hand on Crean's shoulder and Knight, hands full with jacket and coffee, did not make eye contact.
Crean continued to speak to Knight, Shulman continued to speak to Crean and Knight continued to look away. He allowed Crean to shake his hand but walked forward, eyes ahead.
Finally, Knight stopped for a moment and Crean was able to say a few words to his predecessor, who responded with a scowl.
In the series of photos, Knight didn't make eye contact with Crean until the end of the encounter. Crean later said Knight wished him good luck.
In the final frame, Shulman was still standing between the two coaches. Crean had turned away as well, a smile on his face. Knight was looking away, expressionless.
The auction took off in its last 24 hours. At 5:00 p.m. Dec. 5, the last day of the bidding, the 1976 ring was going for $34,950. The 1981 ring was at $5,100, the 1987 ring at $25,000.
The slowest starter, the 1976 ring now sprinted higher and higher: in two minutes, the price jumped $20,000 with three bids. At 10:07, the ring reached $119,950 and continued to climb. At 10:14, the final bid was cast for the 1976 ring for a whopping $174,950.
Fifteen minutes before the close of auction, the 1981 ring broke the $10,000 mark, ultimately ending at $12,600. The 1987 ring went for $45,000.
Fans paid thousands of dollars, but Gros Louis said the material objects aren't as important as the memories they represent.
"People who don't have championship rings or trophies, et cetera, assume that the things are very meaningful to the person who has them," Gros Louis said. "And they are meaningful, but after the career's passed, they are just objects, they're just material objects."
Quinn Buckner is one of three basketball players to have won a championship on every level — high school, college, the NBA and the Olympics.
He said he sees why Knight would sell his rings. Buckner doesn't even remember where his are.
"The items and rings from the championships, I know I've got them but I couldn't tell you where they are," Buckner said. "The reality is you always have the memories. It was more the relationships you get from having that experience. The ring may be symbolic of that, but the memories are what you have."
For Dean Garrett, the rings symbolize a lot more than just the championships. Each player received two rings for the championship, he said, one from the NCAA and one from IU.
He periodically wears the IU ring and gave the NCAA ring to his father. When his father died, Garrett didn't want to take the ring from him. He put it in his father's casket.
"To me, the ring means pretty much everything. For most of us — we didn't win another championship, it's the only ring I've ever had. I could not see myself parting with that," he said. "I wouldn't sell it for charity. If I needed money I wouldn't sell it. It means something different to different people."
When the auctions started, Knight said he doesn't wear rings. But when he was coach of the Hoosiers, he was often photographed with a large ring emblazoned with an IU on his left hand.
It's not certain from the photographs, but it looks like the ring from the undefeated 1976 season.
Courtside, while he coached his players and screamed at referees in Assembly Hall, he wore an IU ring.
Carrying a bullwhip on the sidelines in a practice at the NCAA tournament in 1992, he wore an IU ring. When he tossed a chair across the free-throw line during a 1985 loss to Purdue, he wore an IU ring.
Even in the hours after he was fired from IU, when he calmed his rioting supporters and told them to go home, he wore an IU ring.
Through the good and the bad, he wore a ring. Then he stopped.

The one thing I worry about as I type this post is downplaying the importance of this movie. So I want to start by saying that American Sniper is a powerful movie. It is a true story and the people really did live out these experiences. I have more respect for the men in this war then I could ever portray. That being said, a movie will always make a person reflect on themselves and their own lives. That is the power of artistic representation of life. I want to talk about how this movie made me think.
This movie is about the one war I can honestly say I lived through. I think all of us can remember 9/11. For me I was only in the 8th grade. I remember that day like it was yesterday. But this movie really made me think how blessed I really am.
The main character of this movie, Chris Kyle, was a sniper. This movie, unlike many war movies I have seen, really went into how the war affected his personal life. His life with his wife and family. As the movie went on I realized how close I came to living a life just like this. I am so blessed that my life turned out differently but the reasons why don't seem like blessings.
The boyfriend I have now, the man I plan to be with for some time wanted to be in the armed forces. I think he would have chosen the army. Being two years older than I he would have been a prime candidate for the War on Iraq. And he would have loved doing it.
As I watched the movie I saw the similarities. The passion to help others. The thirst for war. The determination. The inability to see beyond the action of the moment. And the difficulty of detaching.
But I was blessed. My boyfriend did not make it into the armed services. In actuality he hurt his back horsing around when he was younger and was unable to enlist. While I am not happy that he will have a life long injury I am happy he ended up having to remain home.
If he had gone to war there is a good chance we would have never met. If we did meet the chances we would make it were slim. I don't think I could have ever been as strong as Chris Kyle's wife in the movie. I don't know if I could have done all that she did.
This movie really showed how strong the women had to be for their men. How powerful a loving home could be for these men.
I don't know if this post seems selfish and if it does that is in no way my intent.
What I mean by that is this movie really showed me the type of person it took to be in this war. The type of person they needed to stand by their side. And I have so much more respect for them now seeing that.
Because I don't know that I could have been that person.

|Yesterday, I finished shipping all the preordered (and paid for) copies of REALMS: THE FIRST YEAR OF CLARKESWORLD MAGAZINE (trade paperback and hardcover). Amazon, Powells, and other dealers should have their copies in the next week or so, but the best way to support Clarkesworld is to order direct from us at Wyrm Publishing. Every penny we make from this book goes towards paying for the fiction and non-fiction published by Clarkesworld.
Don't want the book, but still want to help out? Well, we have a list of things that can you can do, some of which cost you absolutely nothing.
We're also trying something new this year: the Clarkesworld Census. Basically, anyone who donates $10 or more becomes a citizen of Clarkesworld. The second volume of Realms will contain a census that lists the names (or appropriate aliases) of each citizen. So, $10 and you're in the book… unless you don't want to be. 🙂

It is always great to see pictures those early Chandler homes, so when I unexpectedly came across the Isaac Chandler house listed for sale in the present day, an opportunity arose to share the pictures with all of you. The house is located at 14 Powder Point in Duxbury. For more pictures of both the interior and exterior go to the websites at the bottom of the article. The above aerial picture is courtesy of Joan McDonnell.
The Isaac Chandler house was built, c. 1809, just across the street from where the Blue Fish River comes into Duxbury bay. It is a lovely and beautifully remodeled Cape Cod house.
The only Isaac Chandler that we have record of, c. 1809, in Duxbury was born Oct. 3, 1784 in Kingston and died Nov. 13, 1837 in Duxbury. He married Abigail Delano of Duxbury. He is on record for also building the house around the corner on 31 Cove St. in 1829. I am hoping to get more information about Isaac and will update you about him in the future.
Isaac was possibly a shipwright and cabinet maker. His brothers-in-law, Asa and Henry Delano were cabinet makers.
His lineage starting with Isaac and going back was: Isaac Chandler +Abigail Delano> Ephraim Chandler+Mary (Molly) Doten> Nathaniel Chandler+Ruth Bradford> Philip Chandler+Rebecca Philips> Joseph Chandler+Martha Hunt> Joseph Chandler+Mercy ?> Edmund Chandler, the immigrant.
By the picture you can see it is a very big and grand house; however, it was not originally that big and grand. The story goes that about 70 years ago a small cottage was barged over from Nantucket Island and rolled up the beach, probably on logs, at high tide and placed behind the Isaac Chandler house.
The house, the ell and the cottage were unified in appearance and function during the remodeling. Fabrizio Construction remodeled the house twice and brought it to its current look.
The dormer windows were added to the original house many years ago. Originally, Cape Cod houses did not have dormer windows, although dormers became very popular later on. If you see a very old Cape Cod house with dormers, they were added at a later date. Windows on very old Cape Cod houses were generally at the gable ends of the houses. The door was at the center of the front of the house.
This is from Steve Fabrizio's e-mail about the history of the house construction.
"The kitchen ell was added on a long time ago but not long after 1809 & I think at one time had a porch of some sort. I know it is still very old as it sits on a stone foundation with a dirt crawl space and hand hewn timbers for floor joists. I would guess it is within 20-30 years of the original construction seeing some of the old details and framing style.
The cottage, as we call it, was originally a 1 1/2 story fishing shack or wharf building of some sorts and dates back the early 1700's on Nantucket. It was existing when we arrived but in very poor structural condition and needed extensive repair to sills & floors, but lots of old paneling & a ships ladder sets of winding stairs was still intact. We jacked the building up at one point and when we did it moved away from the house a bit and newspapers from the 1940's fell out of the ceiling from a crack between the cottage and the kitchen ell. They were probably put there as insulation or as a time capsule of some sort".
The front and original part of the house is still very much original with wide pine floors and three fireplaces, although a small powder room, carpeting and the like was added. The interior of the house has not been preserved as a museum, who would want to live in a house without running water or electricity today? While the original section is traditional, other touches have been used in the addition.
It may even come with its own ghost, Isaac perhaps? Steve reported that the first night the then new owners stayed in the house, they wondered if it was haunted. However, no more ghostly reports have been cited as to my knowledge.
Duxbury is a beautiful and well off community today with many historic homes, but it wasn't always well off. In the period before the Revolutionary war, the thoroughly patriot town Duxbury was poor compared to its neighbor, the rich and most Tory town in New England, Marshfield. However, after the Revolution, Duxbury became wealthy from ship building which lasted until the 1850s when the demand for sailing ships declined. The great age of sail over, Duxbury had no money to remodel or tear down old homes in order to build new ones. Duxbury remained untouched, almost frozen in time, for many decades.
Building Highway 3 from Boston in the 20th century allowed commuters to live in Duxbury and work in Boston, which really buoyed the town fortunes. As a consequence of the economic revival of the town, the old, historic homes have now been lovingly restored and cared for. So if you have about a spare million and half, you can buy the Isaac Chandler house and look out onto the bay as he must have done and cruise around in your boat which comes with the house. If not, enjoy the pictures!
There a many Chandler homes in Duxbury. We have pictures of a few in our Library in the Members' Only section of the website. If you have pictures of any more, let us know so we can share.
Thank you to Joan McDonnell, Steve Fabrizio and Carolyn Ravenscroft of the Duxbury Rural Historical Society for contributing information for this story. If you have questions about the Isaac Chandler house, Steve would be glad to answer them.

East Coast Tourism Gains At Gulf's Expense
As vacationers worried about the sight, smell and feel of oil cancel their plans to visit Gulf shore beaches, some are looking to the East Coast for alternatives. And while they don't want to sound too mercenary about it, people in the tourism business along the Georgia and Carolina coasts are happy to welcome them.
"The call volume here has shot up dramatically," says Tom Ridgway, owner of Hilton Head Rentals and Golf in South Carolina, which rents out vacation homes and villas. "I would say anywhere from 20 to 30 percent are calls from people along the Gulf shore states that are now seeing their vacations threatened."
There's at least one hotel in Miami offering an "oil spill special," giving steep discounts to travelers who have canceled plans to visit the Gulf of Mexico. But most members of the hospitality industry along the East Coast are striving to avoid such blatant appeals.
"We have not taken advantage of the opportunities that have come along, offering great deals -- what I call ambush marketing," says Bill Tipton, executive director of the Brunswick-Golden Isles Convention and Visitors Bureau in Georgia. "It could be us just as easily."
Worries Expand Along With The Slick
A survey of 50 Gulf Coast hotels conducted last week by the Knowland Group, a hospitality industry research firm, found that 60 percent have already seen groups cancel reservations.
That number has climbed steeply from Knowland's earlier surveys about the oil spill's effects. The latest survey also suggests that many hotels are having trouble getting groups to book ahead.
"They're really concerned about the next three to six months and then for up to a year," says Tom Crosson, Knowland's spokesman. "Some of these large events get planned a year ahead of time, and those concerns are only going to expand as the oil spill does."
People who host large events, then, are fast becoming experts in loop currents, floating probes and oil spill trajectory models.
"There's a big regatta in Key West with 500 racing boats that's looking at the whole situation," says Blake Fleetwood, a travel agency owner in New York City. "That's not until January, but they're nervous now."
No Oil, No Matter
Fleetwood says he just had a large group move its tennis trip to a South Carolina resort, "even though they were going to the Longboat Key area [in southwest Florida], which might not be affected by the oil spill."
Hotel owners and other businesses along Florida's Gulf Coast are especially frustrated that they're seeing a lot of cancellations even though oil has not come farther east than parts of the Panhandle.
BP, the company whose rig exploded in the Gulf nearly two months ago, has given the state of Florida $25 million for tourism advertising.
"St. Pete Beach and the state and Pinellas County are aggressively trying to market to let customers know that the oil spill hasn't affected our beaches," says Steve Springman, general manager of the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort in St. Petersburg.
Taking Their Business Elsewhere
There are now several Web cameras set up along St. Pete Beach -- a common tactic all along the Florida coast these days. The visual proof that no oil is in the neighborhood is not always enough, however, to convince wary travelers that the local beaches will remain a safe bet.
Many Gulf Coast hotels and resorts have implemented 24-hour cancellation policies. That may reassure some guests that they can wait and see about conditions when they matter, but others are taking advantage of the fact that they won't lose their deposits by taking their business elsewhere.
"Most of it is shorter turnaround than normal," says Tipton, the Georgia Sea Islands tourism official, referring to the last-minute bookings his area is seeing. "They're making decisions as they're watching the news."
Where Will The Oil Go?
Those looking forward to beach vacations are paying closer attention to the oil spill news than most people, Tipton says -- just as potential travelers to Europe have gained an interest in volcanic activity that they might never have had before this year.
"When people are making reservations, you sense a little desperation in their voices," says Ridgway, the Hilton Head rental company owner. "People are pretty anxious at this point."
But are they making the right choices?
Tom Aposporos, president of the Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce, admits it's "cold" to suggest as much, but he says loop currents and the West Florida Shelf may combine to protect southwest Florida from feeling the effects of the spill directly.
"The irony," he says, "is that those who may be canceling vacations along the southwest coast of Florida and staying on the east coast of Florida, Georgia or North Carolina may be going where the oil will end up."

Davao – Clyde Mondilla and Michael Bibat birdied the last hole from close range in separate flights, carding a 68 and 70, respectively, and catching halfway leader Ira Alido at the helm in a thrilling third round duel in the ICTSI South Pacific Classic here yesterday.
And Tony Lascuña guaranteed a final round shootout by coming through with his own version of a 68 that pulled him within one stroke off the leaders and kept him on track for a third straight championship after winning in Taiwan and at Apo the last two weeks.
"The pressure is now them," said Lascuña, who started the day four shots off Alido but gunned down six birdies at the South Pacific Golf & Leisure Estates to negate a double-bogey mishap on the par-3 No. 3.
Alido rued his day-long bout with his balky putter, missing three birdie chances from close range but his 71 and a 209 still lined him up for a breakthrough win in the P3 million event sponsored by ICTSI.
"I flubbed three short birdie putts (Nos. 4, 10 and 13)," rued the 18-year-old Alido, out not only for his maiden victory but also to erase the stigma of his final round fold at Philippine Golf Tour Asia leg at Wack Wack which he led in the third round but wavered in the last 18 holes and wound up fifth.
"I need to stay focused on my game," said Alido.
He also needs to watch out for Mondilla and Bibat, two veterans also motivated by desire to end a slump in the circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc., and Lascuna, who threatened at 210.
Mondilla, whose form took a dip after claiming the Philippine Open at The Country Club last April, pressed his bid with four birdies in the first 15 holes. He stumbled with a bogey on the 17th but recovered the stroke with a birdie from four feet on the 18th.
Bibat, still in pursuit of a crown since winning at Palos Verdes in 2013, actually took charge with a four-birdie binge at the front. But the former Asian Games bronze medalist, who lost to Juvic Pagunsan in a playoff in Iloilo last June, hobbled at the back, bogeying Nos. 12, 14 and 17 but rolled in a six-footer for birdie on the last to gain a shot at the crown worth P550,000.
The rest would need to shoot low rounds to sneak into the title picture with Richard Sinfuego and obscure Rico Depilo moving to joint fifth but three strokes behind the leaders at 212 after a 71 and 72, respectively.
Japanese Ryo Nishimura and Fidel Concepcion from Australia emerged as the top foreign bets after 54 holes at 213 after a 66 and 71, respectively, in a tie with Paul Echavez, who shot a 70, while Korean-American Micah Shin rallied with a 68 but stood five shots behind at 214 with Japanese Kei Matsuoka and Ferdie Aunzo, who carded 70 and 71, respectively.

The Limitless Boy, Part 1
The Limitless Boy Part 1
Can a person's mind really be used 100 percent?
A little boy 12 years old was walking down the street when he noticed something strange. Everything around him looked brighter the colors of the leaves on the trees and on the ground where they crunched under his feet as he walked were more vibrant than they usually were. What was going on he didn't know all he knew was that his thought process was different and he remembered things he thought that he had forgotten years before but now they were at the forefront of his mind. Things were much clearer when he looked at them as if he was seeing them through a new pair of eyes. He could do anything he wanted his way and nobody said anything it was like he wasn't limited to doing things a certain way. Which was odd to him because he had never been given that much freedom before.
Since he never forgot anything, however, when people had questions about things he was the one that they came too. At 12 years old he could be told anything and he would remember them word for word. It was like his brain had a limitless bank of memory that he could use, which was astounding to him because things he thought he would forget he didn't. Like what happened in a bad movie, or what happened on the street when he wasn't supposed to be paying attention but was that type of thing. How much could a twelve-year-old boy remember really? People were astounded when they asked him questions about his life from when he was born up until now because he could recall things word for word and most people couldn't do that.
Since he was such a smart kid he was the one the town turned to when a huge storm hit and took out the power to his hometown as well as the neighboring towns. The police came to him and asked him for his help in fixing the problem. He went with the police to the hydro company and managed to fix the problem from there figuring out why the transformer blew and fixing it so that it wouldn't happen again the future. Most people called him a superhero because he could fix anything if he was shown how to do it once. He had limitless brain capacity after all which meant he never forgot a thing. He was known as the town superhero because he could fix things and remember everything it wasn't because he had super powers because nobody has superpowers but since his brain could remember everything and anything everyone thought he was powerful.
Even though people referred to him as a superhero he never dressed like one, he was just a normal kid who wore normal clothes and tried to do normal kid things. He could do limitless things with his limitless mind and that was why people referred to him as the superhero of the town. One day while the twelve-year-old boy was in school he looked out the window while the teacher was teaching and he noticed something out of the ordinary, there were people on the premises that he knew weren't supposed to be there. So he raised his hand and pointed out the window when the teacher called on him as she walked to the window and noticed what was going on, she immediately heard the principal come over the PA system telling everyone to stay inside while they dealt with the culprits outside who were causing graffiti to the school. The little boy was pulled out of his classroom and he was told to go to the police to investigate what was happening when he walked outside with the police they couldn't catch up with the boys who were running but he could because he thought of being super fast and when he thought of things like that, it made him become that way. Which in this instance was a good thing because he could stop the bad guys before they got away. When the bad guys were caught and taken away and the little boy came back into the school the entire school was waiting for him and when he walked through the halls everyone clapped and thanked him for saving them. Stay tuned to find out what happens with the not so superhero that is classified as a superhero. He had just stopped a bad guy even though he didn't think that he could. Now he was worried about what people would think of him, would people think he was famous and would people always want him around to fix their problems". These were the things going through his head. He just wanted to be a normal kid but he now knew that he couldn't be, so he was going to have to get used to it. He would eventually but he was worried about how long it would take.
Limitless Minds are Around Every corner Even In School
Maybe if one of the kids in school needed help with things other than school work, they would realize that he couldn't control the fact that he had a limitless mind. He tried to control it but the more he tried to control it the more he couldn't so he eventually gave up. Which was better for his thought process when it came to school work and helping the community since he wasn't trying to think so hard. He knew that helping the community was what grown-ups did but because his mind worked the way it did they had talked him into helping them out. He jumped at the chance to help the community out because that meant he was growing up and if the grown-ups wanted him around he wasn't going to say no since the kids at school didn't like him much. He still didn't understand why and maybe he never would but he didn't care now that the adults wanted his help.
When your mind worked 100 percent you were looked at like a superhero even though he wasn't he could still help like one. Which was what he enjoyed the most, he thought of himself as a character out of Superman even though he never wore what superman wore. He still thought he was like one the guys that Superman worked with. Which was cool in his mind, even though he hadn't told anyone about that because he was afraid of what they were going to think because what most people thought they decided to say and that was what he didn't want.
He knew that his mind was different but that didn't mean people needed to treat him any differently. He was just trying to help the community the best way he knew how, if people didn't like it then they didn't have to watch him at least that is the way he thought about it. He wasn't too fond of his gift, but if he was going to have it when he was going to use it. What was the use of having a gift if you aren't going to use it, and the best way to use a gift is to help others? Which is what he was doing, so he felt pretty good about it.
Once everyone knew that he had a special gift, they didn't think he was weird anymore they actually thought that he was pretty cool. Everyone now wanted to be his friend and have some sort of problem so that he could come to the rescue and fix it, even though most of the problems people made up weren't problems at all and by the time he showed up everything was cleaned up. He thought that that was pretty funny and so did everyone else.
People were amazed at the way this little boys mind worked and at one point or another they asked him if they could ever have a mind like his. His answer would always be " I don't think so because I don't even know how I got a mind like this my only parents don't have minds like this and they don't know how I got it so I wouldn't be able to tell you how to do it" everyone who he told this too was mesmerized by it, and they had a new respect for him. They didn't think he was weird they thought it was cool that he had a limitless mind and now they all wanted to be his friend.
From no friends one day to friends the next it was pretty cool once people understood him. Even though people understood him though they still never hung around him, the whispering stopped which was what he wanted in the first place. He knew that friends always came and went and he didn't care how many friends he had. His goal was to help the community and surrounding communities with his limitless mind not make friends because of it. He was always on call with the police and fire department since they were run out of the same area, so when they needed help one or the other would call him and he would come running no matter what time of day it was. He enjoyed helping people because it taught him how to be around them, and that was something even people with limitless minds needed help with so it was good that he was experiencing it.
Sometimes people would ask him questions like, " if you mind can be used 100 percent why is that you have to experience things don't you already know how to do everything"? he would respond by saying, " When I see something for the first time I know how it works and what it does. When I see people for the first time I can tell you what they have done and what they are planning on doing just by looking at them and that is why the cops and I are good friends because they use my limitless brain to help them fight crime." When he told people this they were shocked and amazed because they had never thought of a person with a limitless mind being able to help the cops fight crime. They thought that it was cool that someone could tell what someone was thinking just by looking at them. which is what he could do and what he enjoyed doing because he liked to help people and that was what he used his gift for.
He was always willing and ready to help anyone in need no matter what time of day it was or whatever else he was doing, he would drop everything and run to help someone in need. Wasn't that what limitlessness meant, he thought so and that was what he was going to do, No matter what he was helping someone with he was always going to be there to lend a hand. That was why he was around when a tragedy struck the town so that if they needed his help he would be able to help people. Not that bystanders knew what he was doing there, but they didn't need to know he was the only one that needed to know what was going on.
What did his limitless mind give him?
His limitless mind gave him limitless opportunities to help the community and limitless ideas on how to do it. So it wouldn't have to be done the same way every single time. Even though he was 12 years old his mind worked like someone who had been through college and had a career already. Sometimes people even called him little professor boy because of the all the knowledge that he bestowed. Most people were envious that he could help the cops with the mind that he had, at such a young age.
Tune in next time to see what happens with the little boy and his limitless mind. You will be amazed at what he can do, with his mind.

These look fabulously cozy! I'll have to try them out ... but before then I've got to finish another pair of socks I'm knitting from that pattern we picked up together a couple of years ago! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
These are super easy, Sarah. Need them now - it is coooold here! Which pattern did we pick up? I forget...! I got a new book on socks last time I was 'home', but it is only in Norwegian, I am afraid. You would have loved it! Beautiful patterns and easy instructions. We can have a look at it next time you are here and perhaps I could translate for you. :-)Delete
Sounds wonderful! Perhaps I can get you to translate some patterns again (as you did many many many years ago for that dress for C). I'm in the process of another pair of socks, but not sure for whom yet ... :)Delete
Happy to translate for you any time, Sarah! Perhaps the socks are for yourself this time...?Delete
Så fine! Jeg får så mange tips både her og der blant flinke strikkere - spørs om ikke jeg prøver meg på disse etterhvert.... når klutefeber har lagt seg sammen med sokkestrikkfeberen!ReplyDelete

CBS News reported that Carnitine found in meat may be cause of disease not the fat! but Harvard says
Carnitine is also in chicken and pork and all animal protein. The only way to avoid this is a vegan type diet that is void of animal proteins (meat, eggs, cheese and milk). On top of this disease causing agent, we have man added agents in meats that can raise the risk even higher. These are found in non organic meats and cold cuts. Then if we over cook the meat on a grill, the risk is even higher. So if you eat a lot of meat, mostly non organic and grill it you are at high risk of cancer and heart disease.

What: Revenue from Elliott State Forest timber sales has contributed more than $400 million to Oregon's Common School Fund, but environmental regulations have curtailed logging, causing the fund to lose money since 2013. The State Land Board is set to sell its 82,500 acres of forest land and generate investment income for the Common School Fund.
What's next: The State Land Board has set the property's value at $220.8 million, and it has set four conditions for prospective bidders to meet in addition to price. Potential bidders include timber companies, as well as environmental organizations wanting to preserve the forest for habitat and recreation. Bids are due Nov. 15.
Why it matters to schools: The Department of State Lands says the sale protocol meets its fiduciary obligation to maximize school funding, given federal and state restrictions on logging. Sale opponents argue that the state should challenge logging restrictions that have curtailed timber sales. If the land is to be sold, they say, it should be to the highest bidder, without conditions they believe further erode its market value.
More information and meeting dates
Nov. 15: Acquisition plans are due by 5 p.m.
Nov. 22: All plans will be posted in their entirety on the Elliott Opportunity web page, www.oregon.gov/dsl/Common_School_Fund_Property/Pages/Elliott-Opportunity---Project.aspx
Dec. 13: State Land Board decision will be shared at the public meeting; public comments will be taken

Review: Eye Spy
Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro's 1972 Womanhouse at California Institute of the Arts turned a home into a living art installation. Guests were encouraged to wander the rooms of a real home, each designed by a different artist, which helped to redefine stereotypes surrounding domesticity at the time. Womanhouse opened the door (in some ways, literally) for a more interactive way of engaging with art. With the White Cube becoming the overwhelming standard in the art world, curators Emma Orlow and Rachel Davies wanted their group show Eye Spy to be an exhibition that would once again turn the gallery into an immersive happening and actually lived-in space. Inspired by the artists of Womanhouse, architectural design collective Superstudio, love motels, Hilton Als' One Man Show at the Artists' Institute, cabinets of curiosity, the work of Mark Dion, and the dollhouse from 13 Going On 30, the curators were interested particularly in pieces that in some way imitated the structure of a conventional home, providing places to sleep, hangout, and eat. The show was held at the gallery space of ceramicist Grouppartner for four special nights in November. Opening night was an artist's potluck featuring edible art by LAZY MOM, Jen Monroe, Esther Ruiz, Nina Weithorn, Allie Wuest + Vanessa Castro, Renee Delosh, and more. Yulia Zinshstein provides documentation for those of us who were unable to attend.

President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the Comprehensive Special School, Lafia established by the Nasarawa State Government to cater for the educational needs of physically challenged children.
Buhari, while inaugurating the project on Tuesday, said that the institution was a demonstration of the collective ambition to uplift the standard of living of all Nigerians through social investment policies.
"The school will cater for the blind, deaf and people living with other forms of physical challenges; it represents a clear example of our inclusive policy where no child will be left behind.
"The institution is a well thought out initiative to give hope to a key segment of the society that has been ignored and neglected by previous governments.
"We all owe it a duty to help the physically challenged by contributing to their development and self reliance," the President added.
He stressed that the change philosophy of the present administration would continue to idealise and identify issues critical to the country's socio-economic development with the view to preferring lasting solutions to them.
The president assured Nigerians that government would intensify commitment towards realizing its cardinal objectives anchored on security, fighting corruption and enhancing economic growth through diversification.
Earlier, Governor Umaru Al-Makura had said that the school was targeted at ensuring inclusiveness in governance by giving opportunities to the vulnerable members of the society.
He said that the school would concentrate on providing individual care to children with learning difficulties and those that are deaf, visually impaired and crippled.
"To ensure maximum benefit and inclusiveness, we have made their education free from primary to tertiary level so as to remove the burden of educational expenses on parents.
"We particularly want to ensure that children with disability are given equal opportunities and empowered to broaden their vision, develop their talents and creativity, and compete favourably with others in all spheres of human endeavours," he said.
He explained that the school would be affiliated with other centres of excellence for people living with disabilities like Gallaudet University and Perkins University both in the U.S.
Almakura said that the state government had also developed a comprehensive curriculum and modules for the education of children with special needs, noting that such feat was the first of its kind in Nigeria.
"Nasarawa State Government will be glad to avail copies to the Federal Ministry of Education for possible adoption and implementation nationwide," he said.

England captain Alastair Cook on Tuesday rejected speculation that the upcoming Test series against India could be his last as skipper, saying that a "mountain out of a molehill" has been created owing to his "honest" assessment of his future.
British media was abuzz with speculation on Cook's future after a magazine interview quoted the skipper as saying that he does not know how long he could carry on.
England's captain since 2012, Cook Tuesday sought to clarify his position in the pre-match press conference of the opening Test against India starting Wednesday.
"I have given quite an honest answer to a question which is hard to answer when someone says how long you see yourself captaining the side. I said I really don't know, it could be two months, could be at the end of this series, six months or the end of the next one or two years. That's the kind of answer I gave (on which) obviously headlines have been made of. It will be a series by series judgment, it always has been," Cook said.
"Someone has made a mountain out of a molehill. It has not been a disruption. I gave an honest interview to an interview question. As always, it has been blown out of proportion. My situation has not changed. No one has talked about it in the dressing room, no one has asked me. It's business as usual," he added.
Cook will surpass Michael Atherton's record of captaining England in 54 Tests when he leads England out in the opening match in Rajkot on Wednesday.

Skid steers, also known as bobcats, can assist you with various tasks. Listed below are some of the jobs that you can efficiently complete with the help of a skid steer:
Bobcats can be very useful for farm work since they can be used for tilling, transport materials, agricultural tools, etc., and clean out stables and barns using bucket attachment. You can also invest in a bale attachment for you to easily transport bales of hay.
Perhaps you'll be astonished to know that skid steers can also be used for mowing. You can also cut down different types of growth like tall grasses to clear an area efficiently with the help of a rotary brush cutter. You can also cut down a few smaller trees. Since this equipment is zero-turn, they provide the accuracy that you need for mowing but with greater abilities that a typical riding mower can't do.
A bobcat can help you carry materials and equipment all over the job site if you use a bucket attachment. When you plan on lifting materials, you may want to think about using a vertical lift instead of a radial lift bobcat because such models can achieve a higher reach and lift heavier loads.
Backfilling and grading
With the help of a skid steer, you can level out the ground, fill in holes, and aerate it as well. These tasks can be done using a bucket. However, a grading bar or attachment works even better if you're leveling. These attachments also enable the operators to pick up rocks while leveling the ground without leaving behind big trenches. If you're working with a task done beneath the ground, a radial lift skid steer would be best used instead of a vertical lift.
Trenching, digging and excavating
Skid steers are best used for earthmoving tasks like excavating, trenching, and digging. There are different types of attachments you can utilize for such jobs, according to your particular needs. Some of these attachments include a wheel saw, auger, and backhoe. With the correct attachment, a bobcat will be able to dig anything from an entire foundation for a building to make the portholes narrow.
Debris and snow removal
Your skid steer's bucket attachment can be utilized to clear other debris and snow, such as a brush. Moreover, you can get a snow blade or snowblower attachment when you utilize your bobcat for major snow removal.
Skid steers can do maintenance tasks and road building as well. You can attach a pavement miller or cement mixer to your bobcat and utilize some attachments for jobs such as patching, paving, grading, patching, and demolition.
A skid steers work great for both exterior and interior demolition projects. Your skid steer can assist you in demolishing drywall, concrete, flooring, and other materials by using demolition shears. Due to its precision and compact size, a bobcat can particularly be helpful for demolition projects in tight areas, like if you are tearing down property in a neighborhood with other homes in close proximity.

It's an engaging workout system that's friendly to beginners, young and old alike, and offers enough challenge for fitness gurus when the right workouts are selected.

Weight Loss with Wii Fit
In the olden days, we worked out to VHS tapes. We cheered when DVD workouts came out, for we didn't have to go through laborious rewinding any longer, and the best DVDs allowed us to customize workouts by selection sections of the disk. TV workouts have advanced now with the Wii Fit system, complete with motion sensing and a balance board that tracks every slight change in position.
Many saw the potential for weight loss in Wii Fit right away, and both documented their own efforts and analyzed how the Wii Fit could best be used to aid weight loss. Since the Wii has both aerobics and weight training modes (as well as yoga, balance games, and combination games) it's ideally suited to use as part of a weight loss regimen. It tracks your weight for you, charts it, and offers (often) helpful advice as well. Check out these articles to learn more about losing weight with the Wii Fit.

23 January 2020 | News
G Medical's Prizma device has been granted approval by the Taiwanese Food and Drug Administration.
Photo credit: G Medical Innovations
Mobile and e-health company G Medical Innovations based in the UK has received regulatory approval in Taiwan for its Prizma device, thereby extending its global market coverage and raising hopes of boosted sales in the near term.
On 20 Jan 2020, G Medical confirmed that Prizma was granted regulatory approval by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with April cited as a likely licence issue date, although G Medical must still provide ancillary product information to the FDA before the company can commence sales.
With the licence insight, G Medical has announced that in partnership with First Channel, the company plans to "commence negotiations" with a view of securing a binding agreement for Prizma distribution across Taiwan, including cloud services, call centre operations and end-customer solutions.
"We will work collaboratively with First Channel to assist in the final steps towards receiving the permit licence," said Dr Yacov Geva, chief executive officer of G Medical.
"The company will remain in discussions with First Channel regarding a commercial strategy for the region, as well as assess additional opportunities where applicable," he said.
The company is expected to be venturing into China as a priority destination, having completed the necessary clinical trials required to obtain National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval for Prizma in China.
Last week, G Medical advised the market that it had completed more than 200 trials at three partner hospitals in China.
The Prizma device trials including measurements for electrocardiography, blood-oxygen saturation and body temperature using the Prizma device benchmarked against the relevant gold standard hospital diagnostic equipment, the company said.
Chinese approval, if granted, is widely expected to unlock market entry for G Medical and paves the way for Prizma to be distributed nationwide.
G Medical Devices
G Medical specialises in innovative next-generation mobile and e-health solutions using its own devices and software. The company has been operating since 2014 and is looking to develop multiple revenue streams across several regions simultaneously.
Currently, G Medical offers a suite of consumer and professional clinical-grade products, all of which have regulatory approval in various regions globally.
The fundamental theme throughout all the products it makes is the intention to streamline healthcare services with improved access, lower costs and better usability for patients.
The device now approved in Taiwan, Prizma, is a medical smartphone case that allows consumers to turn their smartphone into a mobile medical monitor to measure a wide range of vital signs and biometric parameters including medical cloud data storage and shareability.
G Medical also offers a professional real-time patient continuous monitoring solution, G Medical's Vital Signs Monitoring System (VSMS) and G Medical Patch (GMP) – a modular solution measuring vital signs and automatically presented in a professional setting. The service assists in diagnosing patient complaints and conditions remotely and drastically improve preventative measures and response times.
Taiwanese approval news boosted G Medical shares by 42% up to $0.185.

Then David Steele Enterprises just may have the perfect gadget for you. The company's iBreath, an accessory for the iPod, helps you to self-administer a breathalyzer test. After five seconds of breathing into it, it will display your blood alcohol level. The iBreath will run you $79 when it's released the end of this month, after a long wait from 2006 when an initial model never made it to market.
Don Bassler, CEO of David Steele, says, "It's for people who imbibe alcohol. iBreath is a tool to assist them to make intelligent and safe decisions." And by the way, the iBreath also features a built in FM tuner. Just a little something to occupy your time while you hail that taxi, or wait for your body to process all that alcohol.
